- 0:12Speaker 1: All engine running.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for
- 0:24Speaker 2: Ignition with the AEW Fan podcast team. This is Kelson
- 0:27Speaker 2: and we got a full house here tonight. We just
- 0:30Speaker 2: saw Revolution. We are not doing a recap tonight. What
- 0:34Speaker 2: we're doing is we're gonna look at what happened at
- 0:36Speaker 2: Revolution and just give our thoughts on what may happen
- 0:43Speaker 2: in the future based on what we saw at Revolution.
- 0:48Speaker 2: So let's get started. We're gonna kick it off right
- 0:51Speaker 2: away with well the Texas Deathmatch at Hangman Adam Paige. MGF,
- 0:56Speaker 2: when is Hangman Adam Paige not in a time his
- 1:00Speaker 2: death match on a pay per view? Guys, I guess
- 1:05Speaker 2: the big question here. Look, Hangman and Paige lost. So
- 1:10Speaker 2: the handshake agreement, according to Tony Khan was that Hangman
- 1:14Speaker 2: Adam Paige is, just like Cody Rhodes in the past,
- 1:19Speaker 2: cannot contend for the AW Men's World Championship anymore. What
- 1:27Speaker 2: are your thoughts about this?
- 1:28Speaker 3: I think it's it's cool that there is actually that
- 1:32Speaker 3: thanks to Tony specifying that that there's an out. I
- 1:37Speaker 3: don't expect that out to be used right away at all,
- 1:41Speaker 3: but it gives a nice opening. Say, if Hangman were
- 1:44Speaker 3: to become desperate enough that he starts going heel or
- 1:48Speaker 3: slipping back into his darker ways, that he could go
- 1:52Speaker 3: back on his word.
- 1:53Speaker 2: I'm interested to know if anybody has any kind of
- 1:57Speaker 2: ideas about what this out might be as well.
- 2:01Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's multiple ways you can run
- 2:03Speaker 4: with it. Like I said, you can easily have them
- 2:06Speaker 4: do the heel deal and be like, I don't care,
- 2:09Speaker 4: I just want to day an titled screw my words,
- 2:12Speaker 4: threw all of you. I'm getting what I want. You
- 2:16Speaker 4: can also have him do where he where he goes
- 2:19Speaker 4: to Tony Khan and like give me a way to
- 2:23Speaker 4: earn it back to be like to prove I deserve
- 2:27Speaker 4: to be back and I can be the champion. Like
- 2:30Speaker 4: I've said before, I think Hangman is more interesting without
- 2:33Speaker 4: the belt.
- 2:34Speaker 5: I think to tell is Tony going out of his
- 2:37Speaker 5: way to say it's a gentleman's agreement, which means that
- 2:40Speaker 5: mjaff holds the keys to this. So thinking long term,
- 2:45Speaker 5: the only way Hanger can get back into the title
- 2:48Speaker 5: picture is if mjaff gives the news blessing, which means
- 2:50Speaker 5: at some point Mjav's gonna need something and Hanger is
- 2:54Speaker 5: going to use that as leverage to get Beck and
- 2:56Speaker 5: it's got to be between the two of them. I
- 2:59Speaker 5: don't think this is going to go away. I think
- 3:01Speaker 5: this is a piece that's going to keep the two
- 3:02Speaker 5: of them connected in some way shape or time, some
- 3:07Speaker 5: way shape or for him for a while.
- 3:09Speaker 3: I like that.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Yeah, and I agree with you one hundred Barry. I
- 3:14Speaker 2: was thinking maybe MGF needs hang Man kind of as
- 3:21Speaker 2: the enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing.
- 3:25Speaker 2: So we'll see anybody else with any thoughts on this.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Also want to give a shout out to our good
- 3:29Speaker 2: friend Wolf in the chat. Really good to see a wolf.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Thanks for joining. Well let's let's move on, because well,
- 3:41Speaker 2: the feel good moment of the night, at least for me,
- 3:45Speaker 2: was the return of the Billy go will Osprey. And
- 3:48Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you. I had some tears
- 3:50Speaker 2: in my eyes when I saw him. It's so good
- 3:53Speaker 2: to see him come back. And I was a little
- 3:55Speaker 2: bit worried for about six point four seconds that maybe
- 3:59Speaker 2: would be like a little a little stiff and tentative.
- 4:02Speaker 2: And now what what do you see? Will Osprey doing
- 4:10Speaker 2: Obviously he's going for the Death Writers, John Moxley, et cetera.
- 4:14Speaker 2: But let's look forward to even toward all in. What
- 4:17Speaker 2: are we thinking over the next five months for will Osprey?
- 4:22Speaker 4: I think he gets his revenge on the Death Writers,
- 4:26Speaker 4: goes to the Owen, wins it and wins the title
- 4:29Speaker 4: it all In.
- 4:29Speaker 3: It was actually a talking about this on the Discord.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Since he broke away from the don Collis family and
- 4:39Speaker 3: turned face, he's been sort of a moral beacon for
- 4:43Speaker 3: the boys in the back. He's like encouraged forgiveness towards
- 4:47Speaker 3: reformed heels like himself. He's encouraged rivals to work together.
- 4:53Speaker 3: But will he extend that same sort of grace to
- 4:56Speaker 3: Box once he realizes that Max has changed in his absence?
- 5:00Speaker 3: There's an interesting story there, I think.
- 5:02Speaker 6: I don't think that's a bad take at all, Jess.
- 5:05Speaker 5: And if you tie that to kind of what just
- 5:08Speaker 5: happened with Max and Takeshita, I think you might be
- 5:13Speaker 5: onto something.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Just Shane, you've been kind of quiet. What are your
- 5:15Speaker 2: thoughts on this?
- 5:16Speaker 4: Well?
- 5:16Speaker 7: I mean, it appears that they're bringing Ostrey back into
- 5:19Speaker 7: the fold and throwing him at a mid card. That
- 5:21Speaker 7: doesn't make any sense to me. I do think that
- 5:24Speaker 7: this should be him winning the Owen and then you know,
- 5:27Speaker 7: going after the World Championship at all. In but I mean,
- 5:31Speaker 7: it was a good, feel good moment. I kind of
- 5:34Speaker 7: see the Death Riders thing is getting drawn out and
- 5:38Speaker 7: in some aspects it's tapered off. But I don't really
- 5:40Speaker 7: want to see another like big feud with the Riders,
- 5:43Speaker 7: especially against Astray. It's time for Ostbury to start knocking
- 5:46Speaker 7: out them dream matches.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Baby, you got it, by the way, I just wanted
- 5:49Speaker 2: to go back. Wolf in the chat made a comment
- 5:53Speaker 2: saying that Hangman could possibly mentor somebody, which is good
- 6:00Speaker 2: thing about Hangman that I saw on the reddit was
- 6:04Speaker 2: it's quite possible that the Hangman may disappear for a
- 6:06Speaker 2: month or two and not be it double or nothing.
- 6:10Speaker 2: It takes some time off look back on what he's
- 6:13Speaker 2: done over the last six months. He's got some hell
- 6:16Speaker 2: of matches since.
- 6:19Speaker 7: Yeah Kelson, I mean, he's had the some of the
- 6:21Speaker 7: best matches of the past two years of his life.
- 6:26Speaker 7: You know. It's kind of like been his whole career,
- 6:28Speaker 7: you know, and he deserves to take some time off.
- 6:30Speaker 7: He's been in the spot, like the whole time, he's
- 6:32Speaker 7: taken a month off here, a month off there. Nothing
- 6:34Speaker 7: too crazy. I think it's time that we prioritize some
- 6:37Speaker 7: other people that we have in the locker room and
- 6:39Speaker 7: kind of take the focus off of him for a minute.
- 6:41Speaker 7: Maybe we could start to develop, you know, longer term
- 6:44Speaker 7: stories to be you know, have bigger rewards, and start
- 6:48Speaker 7: utilizing them young young chaps in the back.
- 6:52Speaker 5: Something something I heard he was either on Wrestling Observer
- 6:55Speaker 5: or Post Wrestling, one of the two. Somebody had mentioned
- 6:58Speaker 5: that the reserve of aw really traces back to Hangman's
- 7:04Speaker 5: redemption arc through all in and going forward. And that
- 7:08Speaker 5: wasn't something I had really thought of the other night,
- 7:10Speaker 5: and it was sitting there right in front of the faces.
- 7:11Speaker 5: That's why I'm still concerned with him being away for Gode.
- 7:15Speaker 5: He is, they've rowed him back to a good relevance
- 7:20Speaker 5: and some heat again and they're building on the momentum.
- 7:23Speaker 5: I'm worried with him being out of the picture or
- 7:25Speaker 5: away for too long. That could that could really hurt Barry.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I do want to address something you just said, is
- 7:30Speaker 2: that redemption. Redemption arc does have a lot to do
- 7:33Speaker 2: with the resurgence of aa W. But also also I
- 7:38Speaker 2: think that the resurgency of AW has to do with
- 7:43Speaker 2: going younger.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I kind of disagree with Barry a little bit. I
- 7:48Speaker 1: think it's great of what he did, but I think
- 7:50Speaker 1: our talent is so stackful. We had some other returns
- 7:53Speaker 1: that came in on the pay per view that really
- 7:59Speaker 1: we now have even more talent coming in, and so
- 8:01Speaker 1: I don't think we need Hangman as much. And he
- 8:03Speaker 1: could take a small break. I don't mind him staying
- 8:05Speaker 1: out till till May June or something in recuperating and
- 8:10Speaker 1: doing his own thing. We don't have to have him
- 8:12Speaker 1: all the time time, and I think he kind of
- 8:15Speaker 1: overexposures is a little bit too much. But when you
- 8:18Speaker 1: have the death that you have, you don't need certain
- 8:20Speaker 1: people all the time.
- 8:21Speaker 7: Right.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Well, speaking of death, let's get back to will Osprey.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Uh sorry about that, guys, but that's the death, right,
- 8:28Speaker 2: that's the death. Yeah. Yeah, So we have will Osprey
- 8:31Speaker 2: coming back. We didn't hear from uh, well, we haven't
- 8:34Speaker 2: heard from net on this. Let's let's hear what Nett
- 8:36Speaker 2: has to say about the returning will Osprey. What do
- 8:38Speaker 2: you see in Will Osprey's immediate and once from mal future.
- 8:45Speaker 8: I'm really glad to see Will back. I think that
- 8:48Speaker 8: the first thing he's going to do is get back
- 8:51Speaker 8: at Moxley, and after that, I just see him just
- 8:58Speaker 8: kind of being there doing what he wants to do,
- 9:02Speaker 8: having a good time, not necessarily starting any more feuds
- 9:07Speaker 8: with anyone, but just kind of doing what he's always
- 9:11Speaker 8: wanted to do, not really having a certain direction to
- 9:15Speaker 8: go go into. But I do I do feel like
- 9:19Speaker 8: he's gonna He's gonna get mox at some point. Moxley
- 9:23Speaker 8: has it coming from quite a few people, so I
- 9:26Speaker 8: think if anybody pulls it off, it probably would be Ospry.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be talking about the Moxley match a little bit. Actually,
- 9:37Speaker 2: I don't think I did a graphic for that one,
- 9:39Speaker 2: did I. Well, well, let's talk about it right now.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Moxley and Takeshta, Moxley walks away, they shake hands. That
- 9:48Speaker 2: course precluded uh, Will Osprey coming out, but uh, I
- 9:55Speaker 2: don't think that the Moxley and Taqushta thing is quite
- 9:58Speaker 2: finished yet. And now that Osprey's back in the picture,
- 10:03Speaker 2: it makes sense maybe to do a three way year
- 10:06Speaker 2: with those guys, because it would protect Osprey of course,
- 10:10Speaker 2: wi Osprey with his Golden Retriever energy, There's hardly a
- 10:15Speaker 2: chance you could protect the guy. He just goes. He
- 10:18Speaker 2: just goes when he's in the ring. What do you
- 10:20Speaker 2: guys think about it?
- 10:21Speaker 3: That is a dream match. I would love to see that.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I really like that match idea. And you could
- 10:27Speaker 4: have Osprey be like, I don't want to win your title.
- 10:34Speaker 4: I just want you to lose it. So he could
- 10:37Speaker 4: almost like not just let to Kest to win, but
- 10:42Speaker 4: like be like, Okay, we're gonna beat the crap out
- 10:44Speaker 4: of him and then we can fight between us, and
- 10:48Speaker 4: if he comes back, we go against him.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Could Osprey help turn te Kashka face anyway? I don't
- 10:55Speaker 1: know the past relationship, but he's I'm dying for him
- 11:00Speaker 1: to turn face. I'm so tired of this oct a.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Uh Takeshka a few things. I want to know if
- 11:08Speaker 1: that could help at all.
- 11:09Speaker 5: Okay, I got some bad news because that'll cat Kesha
- 11:11Speaker 5: feud is going to go to all in strapped. So
- 11:19Speaker 5: back to the back to the triple threat. On paper,
- 11:22Speaker 5: sure it sounds like a great idea, but if I'm
- 11:24Speaker 5: trying to book this, it doesn't. It doesn't make sense.
- 11:28Speaker 5: Kashaa almost beat has gotten rights, Limitary almost beat Mox.
- 11:33Speaker 5: If Will's in there, who's eating the pin Mox for
- 11:36Speaker 5: Takesha to get the title. So now Takeshaa can't beat
- 11:39Speaker 5: Mox unless he's got a third competitor in there. That
- 11:42Speaker 5: kind of bugs me. So I'm not against it. I
- 11:45Speaker 5: just I don't know how they get to that. You know, Kelson,
- 11:47Speaker 5: do you have an idea when you pitch that, like,
- 11:49Speaker 5: how do you see him getting no?
- 11:51Speaker 2: I just the one reason I said it is because
- 11:53Speaker 2: I think Tony Kahan is going to do everything in
- 11:55Speaker 2: his power, uh to protect Will Osprey. Look, Will Osprey
- 11:59Speaker 2: had you know, fusion surgery in September, and he was
- 12:03Speaker 2: cleared in late February, so he's still even down not
- 12:10Speaker 2: that far removed from that fusion surgery. There's no reason
- 12:14Speaker 2: for him to be put in danger. But like I said,
- 12:18Speaker 2: Osprey is always going to Ospre, you know, So.
- 12:22Speaker 5: Yeah, putting do a tag at Dynasty Osprey and Takesha
- 12:27Speaker 5: versus Mox and somebody else to get him in and
- 12:29Speaker 5: then then you can do then you can do the
- 12:32Speaker 5: Kesha Maxa double or nothing where take goes over there.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Yeah, there's just all kinds of things you can do
- 12:40Speaker 2: with Osprey. It really just depends on I think, the
- 12:43Speaker 2: confidence that Tony Kahan has and unleashing the Billy go.
- 12:50Speaker 2: You know, just put a plain and simple because once
- 12:53Speaker 2: you put Osprey in a ring, Oscary's gonna do what
- 12:55Speaker 2: Osprey wants to do. Like I said, so how much
- 12:59Speaker 2: a risk do you want to?
- 13:00Speaker 4: But we'll see what he's gonna do tomorrow night to get.
- 13:06Speaker 7: That's gonna be a barn burner. Blake Christian is having
- 13:08Speaker 7: a He looks fantastic right now.
- 13:12Speaker 2: But yeah, well, well let's move on because we've got
- 13:16Speaker 2: still quite a bit more to talk about. This match here.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Chris Statlander losing the best two out of three falls
- 13:26Speaker 2: to Tekla Teckler retains the aw Women's World Championship. There's
- 13:33Speaker 2: kind of three questions here. We're going to talk about
- 13:35Speaker 2: the Tony Storm Marina Shaffir match later on in the
- 13:37Speaker 2: show spoiler Tony Storm one. Tony Storm also said she
- 13:42Speaker 2: wanted her Women's World Championship back. Is that gonna happen
- 13:47Speaker 2: at double or nothing? The other thing that I think
- 13:49Speaker 2: has to be talked about is okay, Chris Statlander. What
- 13:56Speaker 2: the hell is gonna happen with Chris Statlander? Now she's did,
- 14:00Speaker 2: my opinion, she's been knocked down, you know, a few
- 14:04Speaker 2: runs on the ladder now with her losses to to
- 14:09Speaker 2: Tekla really not being as dominant as as she could be.
- 14:16Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?
- 14:19Speaker 7: It could be the same thing as Hanger, you know,
- 14:22Speaker 7: I know, I actually agree, you know, with the idea
- 14:24Speaker 7: that we don't want to take the focus off of
- 14:26Speaker 7: Hanger for too long. I would say the same for
- 14:29Speaker 7: stat But she's been working pretty consistently for the past
- 14:32Speaker 7: couple of years. Maybe she wants to take that break,
- 14:34Speaker 7: get to breathe or catch up with life, you know,
- 14:36Speaker 7: maybe rehab that knee, because it looks like she's kind
- 14:39Speaker 7: of been hopping on it a little bit these past
- 14:40Speaker 7: couple of months.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Good point.
- 14:42Speaker 6: Yeah, that's tough, man.
- 14:45Speaker 5: I think a lot of this was about really establishing
- 14:48Speaker 5: Tecla as as a top you know, the top, a
- 14:51Speaker 5: top lady or woman. I'm not sure the right term
- 14:54Speaker 5: I want to, you know, but yeah, but you gotta
- 15:00Speaker 5: you got to sacrifice, you know, the big dogs sometimes.
- 15:02Speaker 5: And to your point, Kelson, I'm not sure where she
- 15:04Speaker 5: goes and it's kind of frustrating because I felt she
- 15:07Speaker 5: was really getting close to finally cracking. Like her character,
- 15:10Speaker 5: she's always been missing that one or two pieces, and
- 15:13Speaker 5: she's been exploring a little bit about it and her
- 15:16Speaker 5: promos and how she's dressing and even her move set
- 15:18Speaker 5: a little bit. So maybe maybe some time away to
- 15:21Speaker 5: help her just tone that a little more, and then
- 15:23Speaker 5: when she returns for that big return, you know, wherever
- 15:28Speaker 5: they plug her in, she'll have that little piece figured out.
- 15:30Speaker 5: I think she's close. I just I don't want her
- 15:32Speaker 5: to be gone for too long. I think she still
- 15:34Speaker 5: needs those reps.
- 15:37Speaker 4: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I think both her
- 15:40Speaker 4: and Hangman could take about a month or so off.
- 15:46Speaker 6: Because, yeah, for six weeks ago.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Brutaled that and he's not handing the fact that he
- 15:53Speaker 4: can never challenge for the title. Well, so he can't
- 15:56Speaker 4: be there because he doesn't want to fall into old patterns.
- 16:00Speaker 4: And you know, stat Lander, you could almost get her
- 16:03Speaker 4: the exact same thing like you saw when she didn't
- 16:06Speaker 4: have that success. He went bad, you know, not as
- 16:10Speaker 4: bad as Hangar. You know, he didn't burn down anyone's
- 16:13Speaker 4: house or anything like that. But they both have that
- 16:17Speaker 4: kind of they broke, they came back, and now they're
- 16:24Speaker 4: without the title again. They need to take some time away.
- 16:29Speaker 7: You know, in terms of that like handshake agreement. Like
- 16:33Speaker 7: the first person that asked about it at the strum,
- 16:36Speaker 7: Tony Kahan, was like, yeah, you know, it was a
- 16:38Speaker 7: handshake Dale. Whatever happens happens. I don't really see that
- 16:42Speaker 7: bit having an impact. If anything, I think the Hangman
- 16:44Speaker 7: would lay low for a couple of weeks and then
- 16:46Speaker 7: start messing with anyone that's coming after the World Championship.
- 16:49Speaker 7: Is it about MJF and is arrogance or is it
- 16:52Speaker 7: about being the top guy, the hero? You know, I
- 16:54Speaker 7: think it's a little bit of bold, but I don't
- 16:57Speaker 7: know it.
- 16:58Speaker 5: Was thinking for some You may have seen my reaction.
- 17:01Speaker 5: I had an epiphany there. So what if stat backs away.
- 17:05Speaker 5: I think they're hinting that that Willow may drop the
- 17:07Speaker 5: TBS title soon, So then she's in a very similar predicament.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Willow will have lost the tag belts and her TBS
- 17:15Speaker 5: title and be facing two behemoth women running the women's
- 17:18Speaker 5: division now with uh, well we'll get to them later.
- 17:22Speaker 5: So what if this ends up with Staton Willow teaming
- 17:25Speaker 5: up to go back after the Stat the tag titles.
- 17:27Speaker 1: I was worried at the first of this UH thing
- 17:32Speaker 1: at the pay per view because I thought they were
- 17:33Speaker 1: going to get it right back to Stat. But I
- 17:35Speaker 1: have grown to like Tekla a lot more than I
- 17:38Speaker 1: like Stat. I feel Stat is a complete wrestler or
- 17:43Speaker 1: stat Lander lacks at some stuff, so I was worried,
- 17:46Speaker 1: but they did it right, and the and the way
- 17:48Speaker 1: they did the finish UH really solidify that she's a
- 17:52Speaker 1: good champ. I want to see Stat you know, I
- 17:55Speaker 1: would not mind, honestly her going for the tag or whatever,
- 18:00Speaker 1: or or the both of them going after the Sisters
- 18:02Speaker 1: of Sin or whatever it's called nowadays. But the woman
- 18:07Speaker 1: division is so good and later on, you know, we'll
- 18:09Speaker 1: talk about the tag team thing. But the landscape is changing,
- 18:13Speaker 1: and I think it's good for the AAW for it
- 18:16Speaker 1: to be completely changing.
- 18:18Speaker 7: I mean, age old question. Do we need it to
- 18:21Speaker 7: be a title feud for it to be a good program.
- 18:24Speaker 7: I mean absolutely say a Staft could come back and
- 18:27Speaker 7: really go after anyone, and so as long as she's
- 18:30Speaker 7: taken those time, that time to develop those skills and
- 18:33Speaker 7: get those reps and could be even better. Than what
- 18:36Speaker 7: she has been doing.
- 18:37Speaker 6: So and Hangar and Swerve didn't have the title most
- 18:39Speaker 6: of the.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Time, exactly a lot of We've said it before on
- 18:42Speaker 2: this podcast. A lot of the things that aw has
- 18:44Speaker 2: done well have not had titles attached to it. They've
- 18:48Speaker 2: just been good old fashioned. I don't like you, you
- 18:51Speaker 2: don't like me. Let's settle it in the ring in
- 18:53Speaker 2: a Texas step Patch. I want to give a shout
- 18:59Speaker 2: out to a few of the comments that Marcus the
- 19:02Speaker 2: entertainer and Wolf have made. Marcus in the chat said
- 19:06Speaker 2: tchla techla, I'm sorry and Statlander was good viewed once
- 19:10Speaker 2: people get past Chris dropping the title, and he also
- 19:13Speaker 2: said Tecla versus Willow at all in. Let's give Willow
- 19:17Speaker 2: her big moment along with Osprey, and then he went
- 19:21Speaker 2: on to say a Greece that was close to figuring
- 19:24Speaker 2: out her character, which is what Barry was saying. She
- 19:27Speaker 2: needs to continue working on that. Techla is undeniable right now.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Wolf also chimed in with a comment, let me find
- 19:37Speaker 2: it real quick. Uh that was techlan Willow at all
- 19:40Speaker 2: Willow it all in was what Wolf had said, and
- 19:44Speaker 2: then Wolf, I don't know, you try to be funnier.
- 19:48Speaker 2: But or were you being serious? I'm interested to know.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Statlander for T and T Champion would be cool. Yes,
- 19:55Speaker 2: I know, I said TNT Champion. We've been series there,
- 19:59Speaker 2: Wolf were did you just kind of miss you know,
- 20:02Speaker 2: kind of miss misplace that? Regardless, I think what's been
- 20:07Speaker 2: lost in all this is Tecla uh really established herself
- 20:11Speaker 2: as a very very good champion, very good on the
- 20:15Speaker 2: mic in a different kind of way that we're used to,
- 20:19Speaker 2: I think, but still pretty good and uh just dripping
- 20:24Speaker 2: with uh hate and hate was where she was.
- 20:30Speaker 5: Who's the next program for her? No, that's I think
- 20:33Speaker 5: that's where we were supposed to go to.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Remember, wants back that title so well she never had
- 20:41Speaker 1: that well, she wants a shot at it.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Though, if she wants a shot at it, Tony Storm
- 20:46Speaker 2: is the one that wants back the title. We could
- 20:48Speaker 2: see both of them get their shots at Tecla.
- 20:55Speaker 7: I'd love to be honest, I would love to see
- 20:57Speaker 7: it be Britt Baker comes back with the chip on
- 21:00Speaker 7: her shoulder just starts wrecking everyone like that could be
- 21:03Speaker 7: a lot of fun. I'm not even a Baker fan.
- 21:07Speaker 6: Who can they feed her right now?
- 21:09Speaker 2: Like?
- 21:09Speaker 6: Who's left like so many of the are in tagged
- 21:13Speaker 6: yeah for a short term.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Few like yeah, somebody at the reddit. I don't know why,
- 21:22Speaker 2: it's weird that this happens, but whatever. Somebody says, who's next? Who?
- 21:27Speaker 2: Who gets a shot next? Somebody always brings up Riho
- 21:31Speaker 2: a lot. People love that work here, that would work here.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Popular She's not there enough, so they're like, I'm going
- 21:43Speaker 4: to see more Rio like and.
- 21:46Speaker 6: A former champ, former champan's credibility.
- 21:50Speaker 9: If I want to see nyl Yeah, I think you
- 21:56Speaker 9: know from what people are saying, and I don't know
- 21:58Speaker 9: I'm speaking completely by what I'm reading on the aw
- 22:02Speaker 9: fat up subreddit.
- 22:03Speaker 2: But because the I guess the Gaming Commission or whatever
- 22:08Speaker 2: precludes Nila from wrestling in some states, she may not
- 22:12Speaker 2: be the best choice to uh wrestle and regain the
- 22:18Speaker 2: championship right now. Plus I think ny was kind of
- 22:21Speaker 2: happy where she is. She's doing a lot of coaching
- 22:23Speaker 2: from what I understand, and and mentoring in the back,
- 22:27Speaker 2: and uh good for her.
- 22:29Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, more to an office role.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it wouldn't.
- 22:34Speaker 7: Be the place to discuss socio politics, but that's bs
- 22:38Speaker 7: I agree.
- 22:39Speaker 2: With you agree. There's very few people, and I will
- 22:42Speaker 2: say this in all honesty in the aw fat a
- 22:45Speaker 2: community that do not show love for Nyla Rose and
- 22:51Speaker 2: wish her the very best, you know. And and it's
- 22:55Speaker 2: as simple as that.
- 22:56Speaker 4: One of the best Twitter follows around.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Okay, so what if Harley Cameron was to what if
- 23:02Speaker 1: Harley Cameron was to go after uh Tekla? That would
- 23:05Speaker 1: be very interesting, funny versus a little bit more wild.
- 23:09Speaker 2: It would be funny.
- 23:12Speaker 6: But I don't know, it's a TV main event.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Marcus Entertainer. Marcus Entertainer just brought up Queen Amanada. Don't
- 23:21Speaker 2: forget they have history at Queen Amnada.
- 23:25Speaker 5: So yeah, one of one of the one of the
- 23:28Speaker 5: good low key in ring only feuds last.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Year Striker against Striker, mean against Happier but mean.
- 23:39Speaker 6: And they just beat the crap out of each other to.
- 23:43Speaker 2: You know.
- 23:45Speaker 7: S, you know, to be fair to get us back
- 23:48Speaker 7: on track. As long as it's not someone they're bringing
- 23:51Speaker 7: in from the outside. The Dakota Kai has been like
- 23:54Speaker 7: around the conversation like pretty big lately, Like I just
- 23:57Speaker 7: like someone knew from the locker room to be that person.
- 24:01Speaker 6: Yeah, they don't need any from the outside. Yeah, I
- 24:05Speaker 6: think Jo works. I think that's probably where they go Chelsea.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I'd like, but if they did somebody like Rijo, I
- 24:13Speaker 2: don't want it to be a one and done kind
- 24:15Speaker 2: of thing. I think that's the big thing that really
- 24:18Speaker 2: upsets people is you get Rio in. She goes as
- 24:21Speaker 2: she puts on a good match to earn a good
- 24:25Speaker 2: couple of matches to earn or title, shot loses the
- 24:28Speaker 2: title and that isn't seen for two or three months
- 24:30Speaker 2: or more. But let's move on because again we still
- 24:35Speaker 2: got quite a bit to talk about. I want to
- 24:37Speaker 2: talk about FDR under Boston Celtics ring gear. This was
- 24:43Speaker 2: a interesting match. And Barry, if you notice the graphic
- 24:49Speaker 2: says FDR handle with TLC, and I believe you are
- 24:53Speaker 2: the one that brought up TLC. Care to explain.
- 24:57Speaker 5: That tables, ladders and chairs or the band I'm cheasing
- 25:02Speaker 5: from the nineties three?
- 25:03Speaker 2: Well that's a boy would say tomatoes, lettuce and cheese.
- 25:07Speaker 6: Tomatoes, lettuce and cheese.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Well yeah, so so.
- 25:12Speaker 7: Don't go.
- 25:14Speaker 6: Yeah, so I think this is really interesting.
- 25:21Speaker 5: Everybody knew Copen Christian were going to come back, and
- 25:25Speaker 5: I didn't know when I thought it was going to
- 25:26Speaker 5: be before this, But The fact that the Bucks were
- 25:29Speaker 5: involved at the end there leads me to believe that
- 25:33Speaker 5: they are going to go eventually down the line with
- 25:37Speaker 5: a with a three way, probably for the titles at
- 25:40Speaker 5: some point between the Bucks, FTR and Copen Christian. You
- 25:43Speaker 5: could build it. I mean, it's the dreamers of the
- 25:45Speaker 5: Dream matches. You can build it for the greatest tag
- 25:48Speaker 5: team of the two thousands. There's a lot, you know,
- 25:50Speaker 5: solid argument for that, I think with these three so
- 25:54Speaker 5: I could see Copen Christian picking up the belts in
- 25:57Speaker 5: Vancouver and Canada. May be the Bucks winning them at
- 26:02Speaker 5: double or nothing, bounce them around a little bit leading
- 26:04Speaker 5: to a three way and uh for something like that.
- 26:07Speaker 5: Maybe you put that stipulation in there with the tables,
- 26:10Speaker 5: ladders and chairs to make that for all in.
- 26:12Speaker 6: Or maybe you do.
- 26:14Speaker 5: The three way the first time at double or nothing,
- 26:16Speaker 5: then you run it back with higher stakes with tables,
- 26:18Speaker 5: ladders and chairs.
- 26:18Speaker 2: At all in.
- 26:19Speaker 6: Either way, I wouldn't be shocked if.
- 26:21Speaker 5: They went a little deep into the back catalog there
- 26:23Speaker 5: with copin Christian for one of their last last big matches.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Can't say I disagree with you there anybody else with
- 26:29Speaker 2: some opinions of their own or would you like to
- 26:32Speaker 2: address very sorry for rambleys.
- 26:36Speaker 4: I think I think that's exactly the way to go.
- 26:41Speaker 4: You could do maybe a like you said, a regular
- 26:45Speaker 4: three way and have maybe FTR win it like another shock,
- 26:51Speaker 4: and then Cope and Christian are like, Okay, we'll put
- 26:55Speaker 4: our careers on the line to beat you. And then
- 26:59Speaker 4: they do that, and you know, the young Bucks are like,
- 27:03Speaker 4: we're still right here. We're still one of the greatest
- 27:06Speaker 4: tag teams of all time. You guys ain't leaving us
- 27:10Speaker 4: out anymore. And then that's how you build to the
- 27:14Speaker 4: Triple Threat at all in or the TLS or whatever
- 27:18Speaker 4: they're gonna call.
- 27:19Speaker 2: It, Death Leadder Match. That's good.
- 27:24Speaker 8: I'm surprised that FTR made it into and out of
- 27:28Speaker 8: the building with what they were wearing. I just I
- 27:32Speaker 8: can't believe them.
- 27:34Speaker 5: But I was upset Stokely was not also in green
- 27:41Speaker 5: and black in green. Yeah, I thought that was a
- 27:43Speaker 5: missed opportunity there too.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Yeah. How about the miraculous uh recovery by Stokely.
- 27:54Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a medical miracle.
- 27:55Speaker 7: I'll tell you what, he's got a healing factors.
- 27:58Speaker 3: All those donations.
- 28:04Speaker 4: I probably zero dollars.
- 28:08Speaker 2: I think a lot of people did he took that.
- 28:12Speaker 1: I'm pretty pretty good too.
- 28:15Speaker 6: He took it better than Cash did.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you did? You absolutely did? There you go. Well,
- 28:24Speaker 2: let's move on. I know that we have a lot
- 28:27Speaker 2: of Meghan Bain fans on the podcast, and there's so
- 28:31Speaker 2: many people that I've seen mention Megan Bain finally got
- 28:35Speaker 2: her title, and Lean Across, who just relatively started with
- 28:42Speaker 2: a W got her title, got two title matches at
- 28:45Speaker 2: the pay per view, one on Zero Hour and one
- 28:48Speaker 2: on the proper pay per view. So colossal Lena Cross
- 28:54Speaker 2: is a big deal already. I like seeing it. I do.
- 29:00Speaker 2: I like seeing it well deserved. We had a lot
- 29:06Speaker 2: of people on the podcast, on the I'm sorry on
- 29:10Speaker 2: the subreddit say what they thought was next for the
- 29:14Speaker 2: Divine Dominion as I think their name is, Tony Conn
- 29:18Speaker 2: alluded to it in the media scrum if you saw,
- 29:20Speaker 2: But who do you think is next for the Divine Dominion?
- 29:26Speaker 2: Megan Baine and Lacrosse. Well that's that's a good call
- 29:30Speaker 2: right there, I think.
- 29:31Speaker 7: Sorry, just trying to break the silence. I mean, who
- 29:36Speaker 7: who else is it going to be? We we've seen
- 29:39Speaker 7: Forefront of the Babes and then Tony Storm and Mina Shirakawa.
- 29:44Speaker 7: They're going to bring people over from our age.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Well, did you see what Tony Kahn said exactly?
- 29:53Speaker 10: I didn't even see the pressor. That's that's what makes
- 29:55Speaker 10: these that's that's what Tony Cohn said. I really like
- 29:59Speaker 10: the Brawling Bird. That basically is Tony Kahan saying the
- 30:03Speaker 10: Brawling Birds are going to be at the Tag Team
- 30:05Speaker 10: champions here in a little bit.
- 30:07Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't know.
- 30:08Speaker 5: I really liked two large, gigantic women walking down the
- 30:12Speaker 5: ramp together to the ring until the paper few. They're
- 30:19Speaker 5: both about six feet, right, they're both over six feet.
- 30:22Speaker 2: I think Megan Bain is five to eleven and Lena
- 30:25Speaker 2: Cross is six.
- 30:26Speaker 5: Feet Okay, so with the gear and the boots, they
- 30:29Speaker 5: probably get an extra two inches or so.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:32Speaker 4: They they.
- 30:35Speaker 5: They're strut and this is a small show piece thing
- 30:38Speaker 5: the way they strut. And Megan's excellent at this, but
- 30:41Speaker 5: Lena has it too. They just look so imposing. They
- 30:45Speaker 5: exude confidence with every step, every time that heel crashes,
- 30:50Speaker 5: every little lip curl sneer that Bain does, and Lena's
- 30:54Speaker 5: got her own little smirk like that team just felt
- 30:58Speaker 5: like money when they came down that ramp, and I
- 31:01Speaker 5: think watching them go up against the Birds, who are
- 31:05Speaker 5: two ladies that can hit hard too, which is which
- 31:08Speaker 5: is Bain works really well with that style not too
- 31:12Speaker 5: familiar to Cross. I think this could be a really
- 31:14Speaker 5: fun feud. I'd like to see them few, not just
- 31:16Speaker 5: a one off thing like give us some meat and potatoes,
- 31:19Speaker 5: a couple of singles matches off this and TV and
- 31:22Speaker 5: a couple of tag matches for the titles and give
- 31:24Speaker 5: us some meat here, because I think this could be
- 31:26Speaker 5: really fun feud for them.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, one thing I want to point out
- 31:29Speaker 2: about the divine dominion. When they get to the ring,
- 31:33Speaker 2: both lead Across and Megan Baine, what they do is
- 31:36Speaker 2: they raise their arms parallel to the ring and if
- 31:40Speaker 2: you noticed their arms, I don't know what it is,
- 31:43Speaker 2: if it's a camera angle or if their arms look
- 31:46Speaker 2: like their fourth feet long each, you know. And alls
- 31:49Speaker 2: I can imagine is Jamie Haters standing across a Megan
- 31:54Speaker 2: Bain and Megan Baine is kind of putting her head,
- 31:57Speaker 2: her hand on her on the top of uh Jamie
- 32:02Speaker 2: Hater's head, you know, and just holding your back as
- 32:04Speaker 2: Haters swings wildly and can't reach her. You know that,
- 32:08Speaker 2: And I think Lanta Cross can do the same thing.
- 32:11Speaker 2: It's just they're ridiculously athletic looking for their sizes. That
- 32:17Speaker 2: makes sense because a lot of times you see big,
- 32:20Speaker 2: big men and big women who don't look athletic. And
- 32:25Speaker 2: I would go on to say, I think they're the
- 32:27Speaker 2: biggest and more most athletic looking women at the A W.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Statson's Jay Cargill. But both of them can wrestle Jake
- 32:35Speaker 2: Cargill exactly.
- 32:38Speaker 5: They move like Wonder Woman. They move They're not a
- 32:40Speaker 5: They're not like a slow plotting giant. They move like
- 32:43Speaker 5: you're watching Wonder Woman.
- 32:45Speaker 4: Yeah, finish with that. Sorry, I was gonna say what
- 32:50Speaker 4: they are both incredible. You can tell like these aren't
- 32:55Speaker 4: just big strong women. These are it's loasted women. Like
- 33:01Speaker 4: they've got the speed, they've got the power, Like they're
- 33:05Speaker 4: gonna be a hell of a problem for every other
- 33:08Speaker 4: tag team in the division.
- 33:09Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say I had a thought, as they
- 33:13Speaker 3: look great together, they instantly have like super clique chemistry. Uh,
- 33:19Speaker 3: Divine Dominion is an awesome tag team name.
- 33:22Speaker 6: Oh so good, so good, But where does.
- 33:25Speaker 3: This leave Penelope when she gets back exactly.
- 33:28Speaker 6: Good, I think, and just that I feel.
- 33:30Speaker 4: So bad manager. She's a she's a solid talker, she's
- 33:36Speaker 4: got a good look, and you can do the holes.
- 33:38Speaker 4: I've got the kind of Greek goddess deal, and goddess
- 33:43Speaker 4: has always had a priestess that spoke to the masses
- 33:48Speaker 4: for them. And he's good enough on the mic. She's
- 33:51Speaker 4: got a great look. Let her give her that role
- 33:54Speaker 4: and she's still in there. It's perfect for them because
- 33:59Speaker 4: neither one of them that much, and it makes it
- 34:01Speaker 4: just so much better and more effective.
- 34:03Speaker 2: I have a thought about I do have a thought
- 34:07Speaker 2: about Padelo before it. What about Ring of Honor World
- 34:11Speaker 2: Television Champion or something to that effect. I made a
- 34:14Speaker 2: post on the aw fan hub subreddit which I think
- 34:17Speaker 2: is kind of enlightening. Go look at it. The gist
- 34:21Speaker 2: of it is is that the Ring of Honor titles
- 34:25Speaker 2: don't change hands. There are title holders that have had
- 34:28Speaker 2: the titles and Ring of Honor since twenty twenty four,
- 34:32Speaker 2: and some of the titles that have changed hands were
- 34:35Speaker 2: done because of injury and stuff like that. So don't
- 34:39Speaker 2: look at that post on the aw fan hub subreddit.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Ring of Honor titles don't change hands. Now that you've
- 34:48Speaker 2: got Ring of Honor becoming I would dare to say
- 34:51Speaker 2: more visual and more important in the aw Ring of
- 34:57Speaker 2: Honor landscape. I think it would be great to see
- 35:02Speaker 2: wrestlers like Penalty before to go to Rig of Honor
- 35:06Speaker 2: and contend at least for a title, just saying all
- 35:10Speaker 2: right that, well, let's move on, because this is something
- 35:13Speaker 2: that I I know that Barry has said in the
- 35:17Speaker 2: past that you like to see titles like this hot Potatoing,
- 35:23Speaker 2: And I don't think there's a title in aew that
- 35:26Speaker 2: is hot Potatoed more than the trio's title. We went
- 35:30Speaker 2: from late last year where the titles were never even
- 35:33Speaker 2: seen on TV. We went like two and a half
- 35:37Speaker 2: months without a defense. Now we've had three different champions,
- 35:43Speaker 2: four different champions as a three or four at least
- 35:47Speaker 2: since the beginning of a year, or at least since
- 35:52Speaker 2: World's End. Right, So now we've got jet Speedisco with
- 35:58Speaker 2: a jets eats the co that's not the official name.
- 36:03Speaker 2: That's the ship that I made up. I have heard
- 36:06Speaker 2: it the other people say it to the Uh, well,
- 36:10Speaker 2: where do we go from here? With these guys they
- 36:14Speaker 2: already made they have all gone to CMLL. They're they're
- 36:17Speaker 2: not only going to be probably defending inn AW, they're
- 36:20Speaker 2: going to probably be defending in the CMLL as well.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree with that?
- 36:24Speaker 6: I hope so, Yeah, for sure, I think so.
- 36:27Speaker 4: So it is interesting because mister Coo is now a
- 36:30Speaker 4: trios champion in both a W and CML.
- 36:35Speaker 7: Left.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Yeah, you.
- 36:37Speaker 7: Know, I actually wanted to compliment you Berry, We're on
- 36:40Speaker 7: the same page with that. I sometimes I think that
- 36:42Speaker 7: it's absolutely necessity necessary for them to you know, bounce
- 36:47Speaker 7: you know, a belt or a set of belts around.
- 36:50Speaker 7: In the case of the trios titles, for AW is
- 36:52Speaker 7: kind of the only thing that's keeping optics on, you know,
- 36:54Speaker 7: that division, which is sad. But I think the bigger
- 36:57Speaker 7: issue with a W and the trios titles is we
- 36:59Speaker 7: do have all of these big factions, and we had
- 37:01Speaker 7: all these big trios and then like you'll get these
- 37:04Speaker 7: guys in these programs and then one of them is
- 37:06Speaker 7: instantly injured for eight months, you know, Like that's kind
- 37:10Speaker 7: of like Scorpios guy with top Lay J White with
- 37:12Speaker 7: the Bang Bang Gang and then the one of the
- 37:15Speaker 7: obviously the ass Boys as well. So and I could
- 37:19Speaker 7: give a couple more examples, but I mean that just
- 37:21Speaker 7: it keeps happening, I would say either break up the
- 37:23Speaker 7: belts or you know, dedicate another fifteen minutes to it
- 37:27Speaker 7: per program.
- 37:28Speaker 5: That see part of the pitch though of the of
- 37:32Speaker 5: the hot potato thing of my The way I would
- 37:35Speaker 5: book it is it's the perfect division to just stick
- 37:39Speaker 5: people in.
- 37:40Speaker 6: And the ops showed that worked.
- 37:43Speaker 5: Somebody got hurt, they plugged in, Hobbs just kept going.
- 37:47Speaker 5: So any team or any trio, whether it's a normal
- 37:50Speaker 5: trios team or something else, so you can plug somebody in.
- 37:52Speaker 5: But it's the perfect set of belts where you can
- 37:54Speaker 5: just throw a team together, a cav to your point
- 37:56Speaker 5: of faction chain. The Kallis family had it out of nowhere.
- 38:00Speaker 5: You throw Mystico back with jet speed. Now they've got
- 38:02Speaker 5: it back. It is the perfect division to put people
- 38:05Speaker 5: together you don't have anything else to do, and have
- 38:07Speaker 5: him wrestle some people. You'll have legit trios teams and
- 38:11Speaker 5: a couple grab bag of the month or whatever to
- 38:13Speaker 5: do something with some folks and have some fun with it.
- 38:15Speaker 7: Well, I mean, look at the landscape right now too,
- 38:17Speaker 7: Like there's still people scratching their heads saying like, hey,
- 38:19Speaker 7: look at David Finlay, Like.
- 38:22Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a trios team.
- 38:23Speaker 7: Perfect example. You know you got a trios team. Now,
- 38:26Speaker 7: you could not just use this as an opportunity to
- 38:28Speaker 7: utilize people that are sitting, but you could also kind
- 38:30Speaker 7: of put optics on newer talents that are kind of
- 38:33Speaker 7: transitioning in Hey, he's good for this reason. Wait till
- 38:35Speaker 7: you see him in singles competition. Then boom, you got
- 38:38Speaker 7: him in a full time program.
- 38:39Speaker 1: I really like this team of Jet Speed Mystico. I
- 38:44Speaker 1: really need Mikey Ruckis to come up with a new
- 38:46Speaker 1: theme at that kind of blends theirs together, because I
- 38:49Speaker 1: love Mystico's theme, but they're all three high flyers.
- 38:53Speaker 7: Hopefully they keep it.
- 38:53Speaker 1: For a little bit longer so that I don't mind
- 38:55Speaker 1: hot potatum, but I want to see them hold up
- 38:57Speaker 1: for a little bit longer, maybe to all in or
- 39:00Speaker 1: something and uh and then put on a great mass.
- 39:04Speaker 1: But they're fantastic, can be together, and I really think
- 39:08Speaker 1: they're going to help that division put on some matches
- 39:12Speaker 1: for all time.
- 39:13Speaker 2: I do want to break in here. Conrad from the

- 40:34Speaker 2: So let's keep it, keep it rolling. Anybody else with
- 40:38Speaker 2: any thoughts on the on well, jet speaks the code.
- 40:44Speaker 2: That is a hard thing to say.
- 40:48Speaker 3: It's jet set mystic.
- 40:49Speaker 5: Up there you go, just rolls, same beats, same cadence,
- 40:55Speaker 5: the prevoy one. I think you're probably right, yess.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Yeah, if you didn't see the uh, if you didn't
- 41:02Speaker 2: see the presser or the media scrum, as Aw calls it.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Man Tony Kahn is such a Mystico fan. He made
- 41:11Speaker 2: that very clear. He made it very clear. All right, then,
- 41:15Speaker 2: well let's move on then. Uh, we just talked about
- 41:18Speaker 2: the trios. The most dangerous man in a w as
- 41:25Speaker 2: of revolution. Maybe if they have a match on dynamite
- 41:28Speaker 2: we get a different result. But as of right now,
- 41:31Speaker 2: the most dangerous man is Swear Strickland. Now what does
- 41:35Speaker 2: he do? Don't forget we had Kenny Omega come out
- 41:38Speaker 2: to say, Brody, is that the next step?
- 41:42Speaker 7: All right, He's gonna destroy everyone that's got in the
- 41:44Speaker 7: way of him and the World Championship. He's gonna go
- 41:48Speaker 7: after hang Man out of pure spite. So he's gonna
- 41:52Speaker 7: do a swore of Strickland stuff because that seems to
- 41:54Speaker 7: be the direction he's headed back into.
- 41:56Speaker 2: What about the embassy you've seen the or whatever that
- 42:01Speaker 2: is that that Prince Nata has been carrying around for
- 42:05Speaker 2: weeks now? Is there going to be the return of
- 42:09Speaker 2: the Moguls or the Mongols? Is much version, well, any version,
- 42:16Speaker 2: it can be a brand new version.
- 42:19Speaker 1: I don't want to see Parker Bordeaux come back, but
- 42:21Speaker 1: it'd be interestcy somebody joined him.
- 42:25Speaker 7: You know. I mean to kind of backtrack a little bit.
- 42:29Speaker 7: This goes back to the trio's titles thing. You know,
- 42:32Speaker 7: the Swerve need to be in a faction right now
- 42:34Speaker 7: because he's kind of been cohabitating on his own, you know.
- 42:38Speaker 7: But you do have all of these factions that other
- 42:41Speaker 7: than the don Kallis family of course, that are kindly
- 42:43Speaker 7: kind on the Dal right now because leadership is either
- 42:46Speaker 7: injured or they have more than one guy out. So
- 42:50Speaker 7: you know, I don't think the Embassy, the Mogul Embassy,
- 42:55Speaker 7: the Gates, anyone that Swerve is paling around with now
- 42:59Speaker 7: is gonna co sign for anything serious with him, because
- 43:01Speaker 7: he's already proven to be untrustworthy across like two or
- 43:04Speaker 7: three different factions.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Yeah, Swerve is an apex predator. He has Nana, and
- 43:11Speaker 3: I think that's quite enough, uh long term companionship for him.
- 43:16Speaker 3: He's just fine on his own.
- 43:17Speaker 2: I think Wolf in the Chat has said a r
- 43:20Speaker 2: Fox and Swerve were too short lived. But I thought
- 43:22Speaker 2: they were money together.
- 43:24Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they were in a lucha underground.
- 43:26Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I missed them together.
- 43:28Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 43:29Speaker 6: I always got mister Lee out there too, if he's
- 43:32Speaker 6: healthy enough to go.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, man, I yeah, Jesse, I I just
- 43:41Speaker 2: I will definitely burst into tears when Keith Lee comes back,
- 43:45Speaker 2: and I will be Done'd.
- 43:46Speaker 6: Be pretty emotional.
- 43:47Speaker 3: You all know how much I love me some Keith Lee.
- 43:49Speaker 3: I will be I will be openly weeping it when
- 43:53Speaker 3: I see him again, indutably.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. But you know what Swerve with swere it's uh,
- 44:01Speaker 2: he could do anything he damn well pleases, because that's
- 44:04Speaker 2: what Swerve's character is.
- 44:07Speaker 6: You know, where do you go after Kenny?
- 44:09Speaker 2: Though?
- 44:09Speaker 6: Kelson? After who Kenny?
- 44:12Speaker 5: Like, so we have the program with Kenny, Like I'm
- 44:15Speaker 5: trying to think where what's the direction for both of them?
- 44:17Speaker 6: Actually? So they have their program, but where does where
- 44:20Speaker 6: does Swarp go after that? Or does it?
- 44:22Speaker 2: And it crossed my mind that it's not going to
- 44:24Speaker 2: be a retirement arc for Kenny, but kind of a
- 44:28Speaker 2: quasi retirement arc, you know. I think that Kenny will
- 44:34Speaker 2: go into a mode where he's in between a full
- 44:38Speaker 2: time wrestler and just a little bit more than what
- 44:42Speaker 2: Brian Danielson was able to do because he's I think
- 44:46Speaker 2: he's healthier than Danielson is at this point, is in
- 44:49Speaker 2: his life, you know. But uh, but still he's not
- 44:53Speaker 2: one to Kenny that you know, we expect it. I'll
- 44:57Speaker 2: expect to see nothing wrong with that, you know. I mean,
- 45:02Speaker 2: the guy went through a lot, you know, and just
- 45:07Speaker 2: seeing that he's out there to begin with, in any
- 45:11Speaker 2: way shape or for him is a win for a
- 45:14Speaker 2: w fans, you know. But I want Kenny to be healthy.
- 45:18Speaker 2: I don't want him to kill himself in the ring,
- 45:22Speaker 2: you know, I get. I don't know if that makes sense,
- 45:24Speaker 2: but yes, uh, Marcus Barry is playing fetch. I don't
- 45:28Speaker 2: know who he's paying playing fetch with, and it looks
- 45:31Speaker 2: like he's playing fetch with Shane, which was a trick.
- 45:38Speaker 1: So what if I'm throwing this out here. What if
- 45:42Speaker 1: uh Swore beats on Kenny so bad that hangman comes
- 45:47Speaker 1: back and say, hey, no, we're not we're not doing that's.
- 45:49Speaker 6: My guy, and that steps off that feud.
- 45:52Speaker 7: I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think that
- 45:54Speaker 7: they'll frame Kenny, at least any time soon in a
- 45:57Speaker 7: manner where he looks like he's that week.
- 46:00Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I was thinking too when I was
- 46:02Speaker 5: trying to figure out how they get Hanger back into
- 46:04Speaker 5: the main event scene. I could see MJF trying to
- 46:08Speaker 5: avoid getting any of Swerve of smoke and so like
- 46:13Speaker 5: he he has to somehow beat Swerve. I don't know
- 46:16Speaker 5: how they would do it to avoid having to face
- 46:18Speaker 5: him in a singles match or something like that. And
- 46:20Speaker 5: then MGF has to He goes to the only man
- 46:23Speaker 5: who knows how to beat Swerve, which is Hanger, and
- 46:25Speaker 5: then Hanger only does it on a condition that you
- 46:27Speaker 5: know he allows because Max has to grant it. It's
- 46:30Speaker 5: their agreement. Max lets him back into the scene. But
- 46:33Speaker 5: I don't know where they go a Swerve after Kenny really.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Well, like I said earlier, could go anywhere. He He's
- 46:41Speaker 2: one of those guys I think that Tony Kahan could
- 46:43Speaker 2: put into any situation, whether it's a singles arc, whether
- 46:49Speaker 2: it's I'll forget you got the Owen coming up, and
- 46:52Speaker 2: he'll probably be part of that. Maybe the the Owen
- 46:57Speaker 2: being Osprey versus Swerve in the finals. That would be
- 47:01Speaker 2: a hell of a thing and have some really good
- 47:04Speaker 2: matches leading up to that as well. Yeah, you know
- 47:09Speaker 2: what else would be really good matches to have in
- 47:12Speaker 2: the finals, My guy Androti Eldelo, who had a banger
- 47:19Speaker 2: of a match with Bandido. Look, I said it last week.
- 47:24Speaker 2: The Ring of Honor World title was not up for
- 47:27Speaker 2: grabs in this match, which kind of gave it away
- 47:30Speaker 2: that Androti was gonna win it. But I was still
- 47:35Speaker 2: looking forward to this match because I love professional wrestling
- 47:38Speaker 2: and show me two wrestlers that don't have the chemistry
- 47:43Speaker 2: that Bandido and Andrea Androdi have. There's not that many
- 47:48Speaker 2: of them. This was a brilliant match. Androtti is at
- 47:52Speaker 2: main event talent now. He wasn't before at aw WE,
- 47:56Speaker 2: certainly wasn't in WWE, and now how he is doing
- 48:01Speaker 2: and he's not only doing everything right, he looks like
- 48:05Speaker 2: he's having the time of his life doing it. Kudos too, Androtte.
- 48:11Speaker 2: What do you guys think about Androtti and Bandido and
- 48:14Speaker 2: what's next for Andrade?
- 48:16Speaker 7: Well, the dude had a pay come up and got
- 48:19Speaker 7: to get away from his ex wife in tandem. That
- 48:21Speaker 7: sounds like a win win, and then he automatically enters
- 48:24Speaker 7: the promotion where he's a top guy, you know, and
- 48:27Speaker 7: he I mean he put the time and look at
- 48:28Speaker 7: his look at his body, looks at look at his physique,
- 48:30Speaker 7: look at his demeanor. He carries himself like a completely
- 48:33Speaker 7: different professional wrestler now in aw he looks incredible and
- 48:36Speaker 7: good for him. I'm glad that, you know. I mean,
- 48:38Speaker 7: it's not a grass is greener on the other side conversation,
- 48:42Speaker 7: it's about compatibility, and he obviously you know, is more
- 48:45Speaker 7: compatible here and I hope they utilize him as such.
- 48:48Speaker 7: That Bandido match Kelson, I agree completely, was absolutely top
- 48:52Speaker 7: notch fan. It's definitely in the conversation for match of
- 48:56Speaker 7: the night. For me, at least, I thought it was great.
- 48:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I have high expectations for this match, and it
- 49:02Speaker 2: had met the expectations.
- 49:05Speaker 6: You acted as the sleeper of the show, right.
- 49:08Speaker 2: I didn't think it was gonna be the sleeper. I
- 49:09Speaker 2: thought it was all yeah, that's it, right. I thought
- 49:12Speaker 2: it was gonna be not even sleeper.
- 49:15Speaker 1: I really want to see ANDROIDI get a shot at MJF.
- 49:21Speaker 1: I think he's worked his way up. It would be
- 49:23Speaker 1: a good sub feud and have. It doesn't have to
- 49:26Speaker 1: be a pay per view match, but those two could
- 49:28Speaker 1: put on some good good matches, and you get Don
- 49:33Speaker 1: Kallas in the main event scene in which which we
- 49:36Speaker 1: all want.
- 49:36Speaker 5: I know, isn't Onriday. The last one left from that
- 49:40Speaker 5: Walk of Challengers. M Jeff went down a few like
- 49:44Speaker 5: a dynamite. Six weeks ago or so, he's faced everybody
- 49:47Speaker 5: except Andrade from that walk now, I think, right.
- 49:50Speaker 2: I believe you're right. Yeah?
- 49:52Speaker 6: Or was Kenny one?
- 49:53Speaker 2: Did?
- 49:53Speaker 6: I don't know? It was Kenny in there. I can't
- 49:55Speaker 6: remember if Kenny was there too, maybe maybe Kenny two.
- 49:58Speaker 7: I'm je Kenny. Well, yeah, during during his uh his
- 50:04Speaker 7: record breaking tuttle rain, it happened.
- 50:06Speaker 6: No, no, I mean the current rain.
- 50:07Speaker 5: When he won the belt, he had to walk down
- 50:10Speaker 5: the Hall of Challengers and like everybody came out on
- 50:12Speaker 5: that one episode. I think Brody was there and Drade, Hangman,
- 50:16Speaker 5: and I want to see maybe Kenny. There's somebody else.
- 50:18Speaker 7: I'm not thinking he hasn't he hasn't done it yet.
- 50:22Speaker 4: He walked past Kenny, he walked past Brodie King, then Kenny,
- 50:27Speaker 4: then one and then got stopped by Hangman in the
- 50:31Speaker 4: parking lot.
- 50:32Speaker 6: Okay, so there's two left.
- 50:34Speaker 5: So yeah, so then maybe Andrade is next in that
- 50:37Speaker 5: program and then after that maybe Kenny future m JF
- 50:40Speaker 5: does Kenny win the belt and it's Kenny versus uh,
- 50:44Speaker 5: I spray it all in. I'm not gonna have any
- 50:47Speaker 5: other chances to do that one.
- 50:50Speaker 2: I want to go to the chat real quick because
- 50:52Speaker 2: we've had quite a few uh uh comments in the chat,
- 50:55Speaker 2: Wolf says about the Swerve, about the Swerve, about Swerve,
- 51:00Speaker 2: squerre versus Fletcher, full on feud. We didn't bring even
- 51:04Speaker 2: think about Kyle Fletcher. That would be pretty good. He
- 51:07Speaker 2: also said Androtti and Bendido were was also great. One
- 51:11Speaker 2: hell of a draw. Those fans really wanted to see
- 51:14Speaker 2: them at Revolution. He then went on to say Androtti
- 51:17Speaker 2: as special Marcus the entertainer, I think we're getting MJF
- 51:21Speaker 2: versus Androtti at Dynasty and EPW show said about Androtti
- 51:28Speaker 2: best work of his career and uh. Then he said,
- 51:31Speaker 2: Kelson order the crew. Those DCF varsity jackets, guys, seven
- 51:38Speaker 2: your sizes, those are so great.
- 51:41Speaker 4: Those were awesome. I won't mind him blue all.
- 51:46Speaker 2: Right, anybody else without any thoughts on.
- 51:47Speaker 4: And yes, I just want to say hell yeah.
- 51:56Speaker 3: Here's a quick theoretical question. If Androtti were to a
- 52:00Speaker 3: selfie with Tony Storm. Would the phone come busts through
- 52:03Speaker 3: the level of sheer hotness?
- 52:06Speaker 2: I don't know, But as a guy, I could say
- 52:10Speaker 2: with all certainty, I'm I'm I'm so comfortable my man
- 52:13Speaker 2: in my manhood that I could say that I want
- 52:16Speaker 2: to have Androttie's baby. I really do.
- 52:19Speaker 6: It's very dude.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Look, I am jealous every time he's out there. I
- 52:25Speaker 2: get so jealous of him because I used to look
- 52:28Speaker 2: that like that. You know, if you go to a
- 52:30Speaker 2: fathouse and squint real.
- 52:31Speaker 6: Hard before times, as we like to refer to him.
- 52:37Speaker 8: Giving out his phone number with gloves on is what
- 52:40Speaker 8: always gets me tapping on the phone.
- 52:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 52:47Speaker 6: If E. W.
- 52:47Speaker 2: Show said I cannot wait for the payoff with the
- 52:49Speaker 2: phone stuff, was it me? Or did he have two
- 52:51Speaker 2: different women this week?
- 52:53Speaker 4: He did?
- 52:54Speaker 2: He did? Man is moving up in the world. Oh man,
- 53:00Speaker 2: But I don't know. You know, one of the women
- 53:04Speaker 2: that was not in his pictures and was not waiting
- 53:10Speaker 2: for him backstage or you know, outside of the ring,
- 53:15Speaker 2: was well. Ron de Rowsey made a return to aw Well.
- 53:20Speaker 2: It's it is her first time at aw She had
- 53:23Speaker 2: wrestled in Ring of Honor before. This has gotten a
- 53:26Speaker 2: lot more play than I frankly expected to me. When
- 53:31Speaker 2: she showed up, I was like, she's out there promoting
- 53:33Speaker 2: her fight against Gita Carrado. This is it. We're not
- 53:37Speaker 2: going to see her anymore. And people are just talking
- 53:40Speaker 2: and talking and talking and talking about Roddy Rowdy, Rond
- 53:44Speaker 2: de Rowsei to the point where Tony Kahin's got to
- 53:47Speaker 2: bring her back. Now she's not going to be doing anything.
- 53:54Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean she's a heat magnet exactly.
- 53:58Speaker 2: I argue.
- 54:00Speaker 6: I'd argue it's good heat.
- 54:01Speaker 3: I don't go away.
- 54:04Speaker 7: I got it, I got it. Listen for I see
- 54:08Speaker 7: both sides of the spectrum. On one side, you have
- 54:10Speaker 7: a morally irreprehensible, awful, god awful conspiracy theorist who has
- 54:15Speaker 7: put so much bowl crap into the ether, Ronda Rousi.
- 54:20Speaker 7: But like at the same time, you know, like I'm
- 54:22Speaker 7: sure Barry, you and I are on the same page here.
- 54:26Speaker 7: Like it's gonna put asses in seats and viewers are
- 54:29Speaker 7: going to tune in to see it, yep. And it's
- 54:31Speaker 7: an opportunity to grow the.
- 54:32Speaker 6: Brand, don't it is like it is.
- 54:36Speaker 4: Now you want to grow it.
- 54:40Speaker 7: It is like you know, yeah.
- 54:43Speaker 3: My my husband is actually said that, like her presence
- 54:46Speaker 3: has sort of turned him off, like watching a e W. Further,
- 54:51Speaker 3: if she sticks around long.
- 54:53Speaker 4: Yeah, like I can say this, I will do what
- 54:56Speaker 4: when she comes on the screen. I will do what
- 54:58Speaker 4: Kelson does when Eddie king And shows up. I will
- 55:01Speaker 4: turn it off and be like, tell me when she's gone.
- 55:04Speaker 6: I can't stress this enough. We are outliers.
- 55:08Speaker 5: Everybody who is on this podcast right now is not
- 55:11Speaker 5: your standard issue casual professional wrestling fan exactly, and we
- 55:15Speaker 5: will tune back in whenever the thing we don't like
- 55:18Speaker 5: is over, whether that's Eddie Kingston or round to Rousey.
- 55:21Speaker 5: Shane's absolutely right. This is an opportunity to get mainstream press.
- 55:26Speaker 5: It may not be the person we you know, prefer
- 55:29Speaker 5: to do that with, but this is the opportunity here.
- 55:31Speaker 5: And you've got somebody who wants to play ball because
- 55:33Speaker 5: she's got an extra grind with the other team. That's
- 55:36Speaker 5: why this is going on. She's not going to be
- 55:38Speaker 5: doing anything physical before her fight, or at least in
- 55:41Speaker 5: a match. I'm certain for legal reasons, we'll probably see
- 55:44Speaker 5: her in a tag match afterwards, like an Ring of honor,
- 55:46Speaker 5: and that's likely going to be the end of it.
- 55:48Speaker 7: I don't.
- 55:50Speaker 1: I have a problem with people who trash the industry
- 55:53Speaker 1: and then come begging running to it too. Not wrong
- 55:57Speaker 1: to get back on her. I don't want her on there,
- 56:01Speaker 1: and and like Chris said, I will tune out completely
- 56:04Speaker 1: when she's on.
- 56:05Speaker 3: Yeah, Like if she if she truly apologized for all
- 56:09Speaker 3: the disgusting stuff she said about wrestling wrestlers and wrestling fans,
- 56:15Speaker 3: I'd be like fine if it was just that.
- 56:19Speaker 8: Uh.
- 56:20Speaker 3: The fact that it took her years to apologize for
- 56:23Speaker 3: being a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist and she never apologized
- 56:28Speaker 3: for being a transphobe, that's what turns me off.
- 56:31Speaker 7: I mean again, I agree with you one hundred percent.
- 56:34Speaker 7: We shouldn't be giving douchebags platforms. It is what it is,
- 56:39Speaker 7: and it is going to draw a lot of new
- 56:43Speaker 7: viewership to the product. I mean, like, if we were
- 56:46Speaker 7: going to object this, and are we if our voices,
- 56:50Speaker 7: you know, we're far beyond this, it's not gonna have that.
- 56:54Speaker 7: It's not It wouldn't have that much of an impact,
- 56:56Speaker 7: wouldn't make that much of a difference. I mean, I mean,
- 56:58Speaker 7: it's gonna happen whether we like it or not. Like
- 57:00Speaker 7: he said, we're gonna We're still gonna tune back in,
- 57:02Speaker 7: and I do think she's gonna be here, and a
- 57:04Speaker 7: lot of all that crap talk was work and yeah,
- 57:07Speaker 7: all the same. I would rather not see her anywhere.
- 57:10Speaker 7: It is what it is, But I mean it's from
- 57:12Speaker 7: a business perspective, this can only be turned in a
- 57:15Speaker 7: positive direction.
- 57:16Speaker 5: While we're a ton of eyeballs right now on this fight,
- 57:20Speaker 5: a ton of press on this fight, and they're gonna
- 57:22Speaker 5: mention that she's doing professionally wrestling with aw That's why
- 57:26Speaker 5: this is. This is a carny promotional thing. Like I said,
- 57:29Speaker 5: it doesn't need to be the person we'd prefer it
- 57:31Speaker 5: to happen with, but this is the opportunity available right now,
- 57:35Speaker 5: and if Tony's gonna take it, he has to take it.
- 57:38Speaker 7: And well, let's counter blessings. At least it wasn't Tessa Blanchard.
- 57:43Speaker 2: Okay, but hey, you know what, you know, I wanted
- 57:46Speaker 2: to address something that was said. I can't remember who
- 57:48Speaker 2: said it, but yeah, we've got you know, she's a scumbag,
- 57:53Speaker 2: she's a douchebag. She is this that the other thing.
- 57:55Speaker 2: But so is mg Effan. He's our champion and we cheer.
- 58:01Speaker 3: But he's not a shoot douche bag.
- 58:03Speaker 2: No, he's just a douchebag. I mean he's you know,
- 58:08Speaker 2: in but that's what he does. I mean, he's never
- 58:10Speaker 2: out of character. And when it comes to Ronda, I
- 58:20Speaker 2: will say this and then we will end the show.
- 58:24Speaker 2: You know, and people may want to uh to respond
- 58:28Speaker 2: to this, that's fine. But what Ronda said about professional wrestling.
- 58:33Speaker 2: I think she said that about sports entertainment. She hasn't
- 58:36Speaker 2: said that about a w because a W is we're
- 58:39Speaker 2: the best wrestle. It would be would be kind of hypocrite?
- 58:45Speaker 2: Would that be? Would it be hypocritical for to say
- 58:47Speaker 2: that about professional professional wrestling and then the show up
- 58:51Speaker 2: and then to show up where the best wrestle. No,
- 58:55Speaker 2: she was saying it about sports entertainment, which is not
- 58:58Speaker 2: professional wrestling. I am sorry, it's.
- 59:02Speaker 5: Not that could be her promo. I mean, that's that's
- 59:04Speaker 5: her promo on TV.
- 59:06Speaker 2: There you go.
- 59:06Speaker 6: I those lines are perfect.
- 59:09Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, just as long as she doesn't
- 59:12Speaker 2: say anything transphobic whatever, you know. I'm sorry, but you know,
- 59:18Speaker 2: it's it's wrestling you should be focusing on.
- 59:22Speaker 5: There's an opportunity here on both sides. She's going to
- 59:25Speaker 5: be well behaved because she needs things to build buys
- 59:29Speaker 5: and put buttsney seats. This is a business thing. She's
- 59:32Speaker 5: going to behave herself. After it's over, she may go
- 59:35Speaker 5: back to being whatever she wants, but you're going to
- 59:37Speaker 5: see the best version of her for the period of
- 59:39Speaker 5: time she's doing business here, and they'll part their ways.
- 59:42Speaker 2: I agree with you, Berry Letter. Let her do what
- 59:45Speaker 2: she does. If it builds spots and put buys in
- 59:48Speaker 2: the seat.
- 59:50Speaker 7: I don't well, I mean anything else, And we're feeding
- 59:55Speaker 7: into the tribal bullshit machine. I mean, the tribal is
- 59:58Speaker 7: a bullshit machine. Unfortunately, like what we want to be
- 1:00:02Speaker 7: accepting of the people objectively, you know that there are
- 1:00:07Speaker 7: some things I I there are no fly zone for me.
- 1:00:09Speaker 7: Ronda Rousey in terms of who she is as a person,
- 1:00:12Speaker 7: hits all of those. But I mean, I want to
- 1:00:14Speaker 7: see this brand grow and blow up and stay relevant.
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: Well, look, here's the thing. When you have a problem
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: with somebody that is despicable. You know, when you think
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: of somebody as being despicable, whether it's a professional wrestling
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: or it's just your personal opinion about somebody, what you
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: want to see them get their asses kicked, whether it's
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: in the in a UFC MMA match or a professional
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: wrestling match, that's what we should be looking forward to.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: Get Mile Rose the kicker shit in. There's your match
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: right there, Nilo Rose beats the crap out of Ronda Rousey.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: Everybody wins one more point.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: Sure.
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: I was also like, I made a point over on
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: the Reddit that there was a double standard at play here,
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: Like the one guy from the Rascals got fired before
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: he even started for racist Nazi bullshit he pulled. If
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: that was a non starter for him, how come it
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: wasn't for.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: Her because that was a call made by the Warner
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: Brothers Discovery bosses, right, and Warner Brothers. Discovery doesn't have
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: the they did anymore because they're in the midst of
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: a sale, and it's it is what it is. I
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: I understand and I agree with what you're saying, but
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: that is what it is.
- 1:01:44Speaker 6: Because when you're a star, you can get away with
- 1:01:47Speaker 6: doing things.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: And she is not the biggest star.
- 1:01:52Speaker 7: We don't need her to you.
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: She's a bigger star than that guy from from the Rascals.
- 1:01:59Speaker 7: Mark down.
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: Standard there. You're not wrong, but she is a bigger
- 1:02:05Speaker 6: star and brings attention. He doesn't. That's why the double
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: standard is there. You're right, it is a double standard.
- 1:02:10Speaker 6: Everybody's right. But like, yeah, that's fine.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: AW does not need her.
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: Yeah, net, what were you saying?
- 1:02:17Speaker 8: Oh, I was gonna say there there are a few
- 1:02:22Speaker 8: people on a W wrestlers and commentators who I have
- 1:02:28Speaker 8: personal problems with, and above all else, I think this,
- 1:02:36Speaker 8: this person here, Ronda is the worst of the worst.
- 1:02:40Speaker 8: I don't think it's a good look at all.
- 1:02:43Speaker 7: I disagree with that statement. There are people that are
- 1:02:46Speaker 7: currently in the main events scene in AW that, in
- 1:02:50Speaker 7: spite of their horrific past behaviors, are still right up
- 1:02:55Speaker 7: there at the top. People I don't even want to
- 1:02:57Speaker 7: name drop right now, like people that have done disgusting
- 1:03:00Speaker 7: things that people in lesser positions have been canceled forever over. Yes,
- 1:03:06Speaker 7: double standard, you know it.
- 1:03:09Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't. I don't like it. I
- 1:03:12Speaker 8: don't like a lot of the the past behavior of
- 1:03:16Speaker 8: quite a few people with a W. But I really,
- 1:03:19Speaker 8: this one really leaves a bad taste.
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: Agree.
- 1:03:23Speaker 8: No, mmmmm, No, No.
- 1:03:26Speaker 7: I'm not defending it. I again, I I'm just saying
- 1:03:29Speaker 7: from a I'm trying to come at this from both angles,
- 1:03:32Speaker 7: you know, and it's going to continue to happen whether
- 1:03:34Speaker 7: we you know, like it or not. It's I I see,
- 1:03:37Speaker 7: like that's I'm boy. I've been boycotting the FED since
- 1:03:40Speaker 7: Janelle Grant. I'm gonna continue to do so. I'm not
- 1:03:44Speaker 7: sure if this is so. I mean, Tony is very
- 1:03:46Speaker 7: forward forward with like outreach in terms of like supporting
- 1:03:51Speaker 7: social programs, the lgb QT, you know, communities. He was
- 1:03:56Speaker 7: between the two major promotions. He was the only, you know,
- 1:03:59Speaker 7: person that advocated for Black History Month. I mean, I
- 1:04:04Speaker 7: don't know, is this is this bad? Is it a
- 1:04:07Speaker 7: bad look?
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:04:08Speaker 7: Sure it would have been bad anywhere she showed up.
- 1:04:10Speaker 7: But like like I said, you know, it's just how
- 1:04:13Speaker 7: the business goes down.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Yeah, it's it's the business. Well, that's
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: going to end it for the show. Thank you for
