Latest / Ignition - an AEW Podcast / AEW ALL IN Fallout | Looking Ahead to All Out
Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Agnition with the aw Fan podcast team. But let's talk
- 0:13Speaker 2: a little bit about all In. Our overall impressions of
- 0:18Speaker 2: all In. This was a good show. I mean, there's
- 0:23Speaker 2: no other way to put it. It was a good show.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I think it exceeded my personal expectations. If I'm being
- 0:30Speaker 2: honest with it. I didn't have bad expectations. Don't get
- 0:32Speaker 2: me wrong. I just think that it exceeded my expectations.
- 0:37Speaker 2: The thing that kind of caught me a little off
- 0:40Speaker 2: guard is when Jamie Hater appeared in zero Hour.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I kind of understand why he did that.
- 0:47Speaker 2: But I kind of don't because if she had come
- 0:50Speaker 2: out in zero hour and said I'm going to fight
- 0:53Speaker 2: you during the show, then that may have enticed people
- 0:58Speaker 2: to buy the show the actual pay per view, But
- 1:03Speaker 2: her coming out in zero hour and then doing nothing
- 1:06Speaker 2: at all afterward, it kind of seemed like a wasted
- 1:12Speaker 2: a wasted return. I don't know how to put it.
- 1:15Speaker 2: So that's just my one of my impressions. We'll keep
- 1:18Speaker 2: going as long as we want to talk about it.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Who else has something they have to they that caught
- 1:25Speaker 2: their eyes? Be good bad, strange whatever.
- 1:30Speaker 3: I think the the arrangement of the matches blacked this
- 1:35Speaker 3: time great show. I agree with you, it was one
- 1:38Speaker 3: of the better shows of the year so far.
- 1:40Speaker 1: But the women's.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Matches should have been switched. There's no way in hell
- 1:45Speaker 3: you put Mercedes Monette in them after the women's title.
- 1:51Speaker 3: That match was the title. That match should have been
- 1:53Speaker 3: the biggest match on the card. I know we all
- 1:55Speaker 3: thought throughout the run up to it that it should
- 1:59Speaker 3: have been the main event, but it was the second
- 2:01Speaker 3: match in the night that made no sense to me.
- 2:05Speaker 3: And I know you're not real big on the hook match,
- 2:08Speaker 3: but the best part of that match for me was
- 2:10Speaker 3: the Taz mission. It was awesome to see Taz do
- 2:13Speaker 3: something other than just talk on the mic.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, anybody else have an impression of all in.
- 2:24Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely the show exceeded my expectations. I know
- 2:28Speaker 4: I'd made the comment before comparing it to last year
- 2:31Speaker 4: with Adam Cole and MJF. I thought that build was
- 2:34Speaker 4: a lot better, but the main event caught me completely
- 2:37Speaker 4: off guard. It was everything it needed to be a more.
- 2:40Speaker 4: There was great wrestling, there was great storytelling, there was
- 2:44Speaker 4: great personality, just the main event blew me away for
- 2:48Speaker 4: aw's biggest show of the year. It hit right.
- 2:51Speaker 2: On one of the things long and I wanted to
- 2:55Speaker 2: get your your thoughts on this. One of the things
- 2:57Speaker 2: that I read as a negative the main event is
- 3:01Speaker 2: that Brian Danielson took a bunch of finishers and they
- 3:05Speaker 2: didn't seem to phase him, you know, in the way
- 3:08Speaker 2: that it should have. I guess what do you think?
- 3:11Speaker 4: Well, I will give AW the credit. Normally there they
- 3:15Speaker 4: can be bad with the finisher, kickout or finish her
- 3:18Speaker 4: no cells. But I feel like since they saved it
- 3:20Speaker 4: mainly for the main event. We did get some in
- 3:22Speaker 4: will Osbury and MJF, but mainly in the main event,
- 3:25Speaker 4: it worked within the story like these are the two
- 3:28Speaker 4: top guys. If there's somebody who's strong enough to will
- 3:32Speaker 4: his way out of a house call straight to the head,
- 3:35Speaker 4: it's Brian Daniels. Said what he does that his kids
- 3:38Speaker 4: are watching right there right.
- 3:41Speaker 3: So wait a minute. So they complained that Danielson kicked
- 3:45Speaker 3: out of numerous finishers, when that's how Swerve has won
- 3:49Speaker 3: every match he's been in since he became champion. Does
- 3:52Speaker 3: that not make any sense?
- 3:53Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense.
- 3:55Speaker 2: But when you look at it from a point of view,
- 4:02Speaker 2: when you look at it from a point of view,
- 4:04Speaker 2: that a lot of people that had not watched AW
- 4:10Speaker 2: pay per views were likely watching this one. I saw
- 4:14Speaker 2: a lot of posts, you know, on Reddit that said,
- 4:18Speaker 2: I haven't watched any AW pay per views, but I
- 4:22Speaker 2: did like this and I.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Thought it was good.
- 4:25Speaker 2: But there are a few people that didn't make a
- 4:27Speaker 2: comment about it. So you're right in your assessment. There something.
- 4:31Speaker 2: But the I think that we have to realize they're
- 4:34Speaker 2: take into consideration is that maybe not a lot of
- 4:37Speaker 2: people who have seen a lot of swarve matches that
- 4:40Speaker 2: made those comments.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Who else wants?
- 4:44Speaker 2: Who else has an impression of all in.
- 4:49Speaker 5: All good and go? If I can't, I want to
- 4:57Speaker 5: really talk. Not really bad. Okay, So I was on
- 5:01Speaker 5: the chat for the Casino Gauntlet and people were picking
- 5:05Speaker 5: that apart for the stupidest reasons. I enjoyed the hell
- 5:07Speaker 5: out of that match. It hyped me up. I was glued.
- 5:11Speaker 5: I think it's better than the Royal Rumble in my opinion.
- 5:15Speaker 1: But it was good.
- 5:16Speaker 5: But people want to nitpicked Nigel. Why was Nigel in it? Well,
- 5:19Speaker 5: Nigel was in it because It was fun and that's
- 5:21Speaker 5: what wrestling should be. It was a good match. The
- 5:24Speaker 5: ending was kind of weird, but it worked out in
- 5:27Speaker 5: the end. So that's my piece.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, MK.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Did you enjoy the match for the wrestling more predominantly
- 5:39Speaker 2: than you enjoyed the match for the entrances and the
- 5:44Speaker 2: circumstance of people coming to the ring and not knowing
- 5:47Speaker 2: you was going to be next You know what I mean,
- 5:49Speaker 2: the surprise factor of the of the show.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a surprise factor. I think there were
- 5:59Speaker 5: some good parts the wrestling, like Nigel and Zach Favor
- 6:04Speaker 5: Junior tying up and doing their thing was kind of cool.
- 6:09Speaker 5: There are bits and pieces that were good, but overall
- 6:11Speaker 5: it was a fun environment that kept me guessing and
- 6:15Speaker 5: kept me entertaining. Because usually we're during a royal rumbol,
- 6:19Speaker 5: it has low spots. But I think Tony has found
- 6:22Speaker 5: a creation of his own that works for him and
- 6:24Speaker 5: people like it.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Not. Did you have anything that you wanted to say
- 6:32Speaker 1: about all in?
- 6:35Speaker 6: Overall, I liked all in. I liked all of the matches.
- 6:40Speaker 6: I have to agree with I think it was sudden
- 6:43Speaker 6: that it seemed a little bit out of Order, But
- 6:49Speaker 6: I think that it was like that, like you were saying,
- 6:54Speaker 6: Kelson for the people that maybe were watching for the
- 6:59Speaker 6: first time or the casual fans, and also to make
- 7:05Speaker 6: things not so predictable for those of us that maybe
- 7:09Speaker 6: watch every week, to keep us on the edge of
- 7:12Speaker 6: our seats and guessing. And there was a point during
- 7:17Speaker 6: Swerve and Danielsen's match where I thought about Sutton because
- 7:22Speaker 6: Swerve was laughing off Danielson's hits, and it just it
- 7:28Speaker 6: got to me and made me chuckle because I know
- 7:31Speaker 6: that was a point that Sutton had brought up that
- 7:33Speaker 6: he was tired of seeing Swerve do that. Yes, one
- 7:39Speaker 6: of the things that I liked during the Gauntlet match
- 7:43Speaker 6: was seeing Dark Order out there and Evil Uno keeping
- 7:47Speaker 6: tribute to Brodie Lee, right. I thought that for a
- 7:57Speaker 6: moment there when Orange Cassidy kind of dropped from the sky,
- 8:02Speaker 6: that this was it. This was finally Dark Orange Cassidy
- 8:08Speaker 6: or who I've been calling Blood Orange, and he was
- 8:13Speaker 6: gonna go for it and go all in and really
- 8:16Speaker 6: lose his mind. And of course he gets out there
- 8:20Speaker 6: and does that damn roll up once again that I
- 8:24Speaker 6: am really tired of seeing and I wish he would
- 8:28Speaker 6: stop it and I can't take it anymore. And honestly,
- 8:35Speaker 6: I thought things overall were gonna be a little more
- 8:38Speaker 6: violent than they were. And that's kind of one of
- 8:43Speaker 6: the things that I missed a little bit, was I
- 8:46Speaker 6: think that things didn't get quite as violent as they
- 8:51Speaker 6: usually do, even between Darby and Jack Perry, and I
- 8:59Speaker 6: didn't maybe I missed it during their match, but it
- 9:03Speaker 6: didn't seem like anybody called out the fact that when
- 9:07Speaker 6: they threw that glass down, that glass was the glass
- 9:12Speaker 6: from the windshield from last year, or at least it
- 9:16Speaker 6: was supposed to be, and it okay, nobody pointed that out,
- 9:20Speaker 6: and I thought that that was kind of a big
- 9:22Speaker 6: throwback to what happened, like talking about it without talking
- 9:27Speaker 6: about it, and you know, so that's my that's what
- 9:33Speaker 6: I took from it.
- 9:34Speaker 2: I want to talk about a little bit, like a
- 9:36Speaker 2: subliminal things that happened that I noticed. And of course
- 9:39Speaker 2: I'm weird, so I noticed the silly stuff. A lot
- 9:42Speaker 2: of people noticed it too, but I wanted to point
- 9:45Speaker 2: it at that pointed out because I even made a
- 9:46Speaker 2: post on the aw fat Up subread it about it.
- 9:49Speaker 2: But I just wanted to talk about a few things
- 9:51Speaker 2: that happened during the show that I thought were.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Silly, unusual, or just neat.
- 9:58Speaker 2: For example, this was the first time I ever saw
- 10:02Speaker 2: the House of Black walk to the ring because it
- 10:05Speaker 2: usually goes dark. We saw their entire entrance because their
- 10:09Speaker 2: entrance was early in the show. Another thing that happened,
- 10:13Speaker 2: and I thought this was kind of funny, was when
- 10:15Speaker 2: Orange Cassidy was announced.
- 10:17Speaker 1: The pyro for him was this.
- 10:19Speaker 2: One little pathetic firecracker that they showed at the top
- 10:22Speaker 2: of the stadium.
- 10:23Speaker 1: I thought that was brilliant.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Another thing I wanted to point out was that streamer guy,
- 10:30Speaker 2: the guy that was in charge of the streamers during
- 10:33Speaker 2: the mgf Osprey match. He's probably fired, so unfortunate, and
- 10:41Speaker 2: I don't know, it's just and I did hear that
- 10:46Speaker 2: the Darby Allen Jack Perry match was cut short because
- 10:51Speaker 2: the show was going a little long and there's a
- 10:53Speaker 2: ten o'clock erpew for I guesst Noy's ordinance or something
- 10:57Speaker 2: like that, so they had to cut that match short.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:01Speaker 3: I think they think the issues they're having in England
- 11:03Speaker 3: right now, there's been a lot of violence lately, so
- 11:06Speaker 3: that might have been and also a reason why it
- 11:08Speaker 3: was cut short to your point that they were had.
- 11:12Speaker 2: A curfew, okay, and then you know, is there anything
- 11:16Speaker 2: else that kind of stood out for you guys that
- 11:21Speaker 2: you noticed that just seemed interesting.
- 11:25Speaker 4: I did at one moment just kind of chuckle about
- 11:29Speaker 4: the Casino Gauntlet and seeing like Roderick Strong and Kyle
- 11:33Speaker 4: O'Reilly and Nigel McGinnis, and it's just like I'm watching
- 11:38Speaker 4: Ring of Honor from two thousand and nine again.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Yeah, or you can even say, when it comes to
- 11:44Speaker 2: Roderick Strong, words Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Mark Briscoe, you're watching
- 11:49Speaker 2: every episode of Dynamite, Rampage and Collision from the last
- 11:54Speaker 2: six months. And guess who's on tomorrow night as well?
- 12:00Speaker 2: You know those guys.
- 12:01Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to getting to that and I have.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Something to say about that too. So, so we had
- 12:10Speaker 2: some title changes or maybe not even changes, because I
- 12:14Speaker 2: like the Trios title was not it was vacated basically,
- 12:18Speaker 2: so that was one but the previous winners didn't win,
- 12:23Speaker 2: so I guess you could call it a title change.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Ed will Osprey winning the Now and International Championship, So
- 12:34Speaker 2: you we did have quite a number of things going on.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I guess is the best way to put it. But
- 12:42Speaker 2: now you have to look at it as far as Okay,
- 12:46Speaker 2: so now all in is over, You've got the all
- 12:50Speaker 2: Out card coming up. Plus you're you're going to have
- 12:54Speaker 2: to start building stories. You know, who is Mariah May
- 12:59Speaker 2: now going to battle? Who is Brian Danielson now going
- 13:05Speaker 2: to battle? You know, as far as we know that,
- 13:08Speaker 2: like Darby Allen has a title shot and we know
- 13:11Speaker 2: that Christian Cage has a title shot, are those going
- 13:13Speaker 2: to be long term feuds or is there going to
- 13:17Speaker 2: be story built around it? Or is it just going
- 13:19Speaker 2: to be matches? You know, Mariah May, you know we
- 13:24Speaker 2: still have Mercedes Bonet with the belt? What's next for
- 13:29Speaker 2: will Osprey? The only thing that we know is will
- 13:33Speaker 2: Osprey at all Out. It has already been announced that
- 13:36Speaker 2: will Osprey is going to have a match against Pack
- 13:40Speaker 2: at All Out. But what what will you guys like
- 13:45Speaker 2: to see? As far as story, not necessarily for championships,
- 13:52Speaker 2: but just story.
- 13:55Speaker 5: I really think that Christian versus Damnson doesn't need to
- 14:00Speaker 5: be long. I think Christian comes out.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Okay, I tell you died on us, your audio went completely.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Anybody else has something to say?
- 14:18Speaker 4: I agree. I think that because they've made it a
- 14:21Speaker 4: point to say that Christian can use his title shot
- 14:24Speaker 4: at any time, So I think he's going to hold
- 14:26Speaker 4: on to that until Danielson has a for sure title
- 14:31Speaker 4: match and kind of do the money in the bank thing.
- 14:33Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be a long title
- 14:35Speaker 4: run or any or a long program or anything like that,
- 14:39Speaker 4: but I would like to see Jack Perry getting an
- 14:42Speaker 4: actual feud for the TNT title and and be on
- 14:44Speaker 4: Dynamite and be kind of featured.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Okay, I think the return of the Grizzled Young Vets
- 14:53Speaker 3: is going to hopefully put some life into the tag
- 14:58Speaker 3: team division. I think that could be a big thing
- 15:01Speaker 3: that they could be working to.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Try to do.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Now, Mariah May, I don't know who she had. I mean,
- 15:09Speaker 3: it's end up it's gonna end up being her versus
- 15:13Speaker 3: probably either Nina shere Kawa or the returning I can't
- 15:21Speaker 3: think of her name right now. My mind just went blank.
- 15:23Speaker 3: That could be one of the things that they do
- 15:27Speaker 3: with Danielson. I'm it's gonna depend on what he says
- 15:30Speaker 3: tomorrow night. I really don't want to say much on
- 15:33Speaker 3: what I think is gonna happen with the main title,
- 15:36Speaker 3: because I don't know, you know, whether he's gonna he
- 15:41Speaker 3: could come out tomorrow night and say I'm done. I
- 15:43Speaker 3: gotta get my neck fixed and I can't wrestle anymore
- 15:45Speaker 3: and just re relinquish the title. So I guess tomorrow
- 15:50Speaker 3: night will determine more what's gonna happen for me in
- 15:52Speaker 3: the future.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Well, that's true, Matt, did you have anything.
- 15:59Speaker 6: I was like to see Hangman do a little bit more,
- 16:05Speaker 6: maybe roll over some more people with his carry on,
- 16:09Speaker 6: But my eyes honestly are on Russel Dream because they're
- 16:17Speaker 6: coming to where I am. So I'm I'm hoping that
- 16:23Speaker 6: somehow they're going to swerve this dare I say, into
- 16:29Speaker 6: a swerve Hangman match. I don't know how, but that's
- 16:34Speaker 6: one of the things that I'm I'm really hoping for.
- 16:38Speaker 6: And I'm looking forward to seeing Osprey and Pack and
- 16:46Speaker 6: I want to see what the young bucks or our
- 16:51Speaker 6: wonderful EVPs are going to do, I you know, And
- 16:57Speaker 6: there were some twists there, like I'm surprised that Luchsaurus
- 17:00Speaker 6: did what he did. I was looking for him to
- 17:03Speaker 6: turn on Christian and I want to know where they're
- 17:09Speaker 6: going with that with this this whole thing with him
- 17:12Speaker 6: and Christian, So I don't know women's division all around,
- 17:19Speaker 6: So I just want to see where things are going
- 17:22Speaker 6: to go.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Well, I think the one thing that we're definitely going
- 17:25Speaker 2: to see is MGF and Daniel Garcia, and I like
- 17:30Speaker 2: that because it gets FJF and Daniel Garcia in a
- 17:35Speaker 2: feud that doesn't involve a belt, and I like to
- 17:39Speaker 2: see Tony Kahan do more of that. I'd like to
- 17:45Speaker 2: see Tony Khan do more of that because not every
- 17:48Speaker 2: feud has to be for a title.
- 17:53Speaker 4: I think that's a great point and I really do
- 17:55Speaker 4: agree with that, and I think having a couple of
- 17:58Speaker 4: those feuds will help with the fielding that there's too
- 18:00Speaker 4: many titles because every feud is for a title. Now
- 18:04Speaker 4: at least get some variety. So definitely a good point.
- 18:08Speaker 2: I'd actually like to see Mina Shirakala and Tony Storm
- 18:11Speaker 2: in a feud, even though Tony Storm has already defeated
- 18:14Speaker 2: Mina Shirakala, even if it's a tag team. Even if
- 18:17Speaker 2: Mina Shirikala tag teamed with Mariah may Say and Reform
- 18:21Speaker 2: Rose Gold, Tony Storm could get.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Her own partner.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Uh and I dare say it, what about getting Thunderstorm
- 18:34Speaker 2: back together.
- 18:37Speaker 3: That's a very interesting idea.
- 18:40Speaker 2: So I thought, again, it doesn't mean that I want
- 18:43Speaker 2: to see a feud bereft of titles, but I'd like
- 18:47Speaker 2: to see some feuds or stories built around non title matches,
- 18:52Speaker 2: I guess, is what I'm trying to say.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, And with with as many people as
- 18:57Speaker 3: they have on the roster, you don't have enough title
- 19:00Speaker 3: to do that. To have nothing but titles and fuse
- 19:03Speaker 3: for titles, you have to start setting up some fuse
- 19:05Speaker 3: outside of that. You know. The one thing I kind
- 19:10Speaker 3: of find would be a great story in the heavyweight
- 19:14Speaker 3: title championship would be a he hasn't done it yet,
- 19:18Speaker 3: but would be a Christian cashing in his chance at
- 19:26Speaker 3: the title and Lucasaurus taking it from him winning the
- 19:29Speaker 3: title just for the here. It would be cool to
- 19:32Speaker 3: see happen.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Then, Yeah, I mean, I mean again, it's weird because
- 19:40Speaker 2: we've got all out coming on. So I have a
- 19:43Speaker 2: feeling that we're going to see Giadaparazzo and thunder Rosa
- 19:50Speaker 2: and have their what their Walter thirteenth batch. Now we're
- 19:54Speaker 2: definitely going to see Roderick Strong and Conglomeration and all that,
- 19:58Speaker 2: because God forbid we we have a show without them.
- 20:02Speaker 2: But you know who's Mercedes Monette good at Battle Against?
- 20:07Speaker 2: I mean, we have no the only how do I
- 20:14Speaker 2: put this, The only story that she's had over the
- 20:20Speaker 2: last several months as he's been here, was briefly with
- 20:25Speaker 2: It looked like it was going to be Mercedes Monet
- 20:28Speaker 2: and Julia Harp, but then Julia got injured, so Willow
- 20:30Speaker 2: Nightingale had to step in. Is if Julia Hart comes back,
- 20:36Speaker 2: maybe that's what we get for All Out, But I
- 20:38Speaker 2: don't kind of don't want to see that for All
- 20:40Speaker 2: Out because I don't think there's enough time to build
- 20:44Speaker 2: the story there, and it's certainly not enough time for
- 20:47Speaker 2: Julia to get her wrestling legs back under her either.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I want to see a good match with Mercedes Monette,
- 20:55Speaker 2: not something that's thrown together. I wouldn't mind if Mercedes
- 20:58Speaker 2: Monet did not defend the title at All Out. I
- 21:03Speaker 2: wouldn't mind if Mercedes Mode and Camille were tag team
- 21:07Speaker 2: partners at All Out and feuded against somebody else.
- 21:12Speaker 3: What would be kind of nice for All Out would
- 21:15Speaker 3: be if none of the titles were actually on the line,
- 21:19Speaker 3: except for we know that the other only match we
- 21:21Speaker 3: know about is the Statlander versus for the.
- 21:27Speaker 1: The what is.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the only other match we know for sure
- 21:31Speaker 3: for al Out. We don't know the stipulation for it yet.
- 21:34Speaker 1: But is it?
- 21:34Speaker 2: But is it? Is it? Is it a CMLL title match?
- 21:38Speaker 1: I don't know, ye believe it is.
- 21:41Speaker 4: World title match up?
- 21:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that Will is going to
- 21:44Speaker 3: lose hopefully, but uh, you know, it would be kind
- 21:47Speaker 3: of nice to see people who didn't participate in all
- 21:49Speaker 3: in just have some matches, some good, good matches, because again,
- 21:56Speaker 3: this is the second year in a row. It's too
- 21:57Speaker 3: close together. At least we got an extra week this
- 21:59Speaker 3: year year, But this is this is kind of a
- 22:03Speaker 3: ridiculous way to do a pay per view two weeks
- 22:05Speaker 3: after your big pay per view.
- 22:08Speaker 1: With no build up to it.
- 22:10Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna get two weeks, that's it.
- 22:13Speaker 2: So does anybody else any else have any ideas for
- 22:20Speaker 2: something for the All Out card that they'd like to
- 22:23Speaker 2: suggest or even see.
- 22:27Speaker 4: I think, uh, maybe a tag team number one contenders matched,
- 22:32Speaker 4: Like if we're assuming that the acclaimed an FTR and
- 22:36Speaker 4: knocked down the list, we get like Top Flight and
- 22:39Speaker 4: Private Party or some other team, the Iron Savages, someone
- 22:43Speaker 4: new when the tag team division. I think that could
- 22:45Speaker 4: be a good match at all out.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, look, the problem with that is,
- 22:51Speaker 2: and I don't want to come off as pompous here,
- 22:55Speaker 2: but I'm just gonna say it.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Are you gonna buy a pay per view to see
- 22:58Speaker 1: the Iron Savages?
- 23:02Speaker 2: Now?
- 23:02Speaker 4: That is a fair fact.
- 23:04Speaker 2: It depends.
- 23:05Speaker 3: It depend on if they put enough effort into it
- 23:09Speaker 3: to make it worth you. If you put Private Party
- 23:13Speaker 3: and Iron Savages in the Grizzled Young Vets and maybe
- 23:17Speaker 3: one or two other good, good young tag teams in it,
- 23:21Speaker 3: you ain't making a very good match. It could be
- 23:23Speaker 3: worth it. It just depends on who.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Yeah, well, here's the thing.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about the Grizzled Young Vets for a
- 23:29Speaker 2: second here. Okay, who are they? Most people in aw
- 23:35Speaker 2: fan hub don't know. Uh, a lot of people don't
- 23:39Speaker 2: know who they are. It's as simple as that huge mistake.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Grizzledjung Vets are not going to sell pay per viewer
- 23:48Speaker 2: in my opinion, I don't know what your opinion is,
- 23:50Speaker 2: but I'm not going to pay to see Grizzled Young Vets.
- 23:54Speaker 2: I pay to see somebody else for sure. Don't really
- 23:56Speaker 2: give a damn about the Grizzled Young Vets. They haven't
- 23:59Speaker 2: done anything.
- 24:00Speaker 4: I agree, and I think this goes I don't know.
- 24:03Speaker 4: We kind of talked about all out, But do you guys,
- 24:06Speaker 4: are you on the camp that you believe that was
- 24:08Speaker 4: the spot for the guns. They were supposed to show
- 24:11Speaker 4: up and come out after the match and we're gonna
- 24:13Speaker 4: have the guns and FTR and the Bucks all together,
- 24:17Speaker 4: And they just went and with the Grizzled Young Bets
- 24:21Speaker 4: because the guns weren't available.
- 24:27Speaker 3: I think they did it that way because they're trying
- 24:30Speaker 3: to introduce a new team. Hell, we could have Bobby
- 24:33Speaker 3: Lashly and those guys show up tomorrow night and add
- 24:37Speaker 3: a new tag team that could be involved. You know,
- 24:39Speaker 3: that's the problem with doing this. That's the biggest problem
- 24:44Speaker 3: I have with them right now is we have way
- 24:46Speaker 3: too much up in the air for such a short
- 24:49Speaker 3: turnaround to the next pay per view. I still think
- 24:52Speaker 3: they should move this to the end of the month
- 24:54Speaker 3: and make it the end of September instead of the
- 24:56Speaker 3: beginning of September, so that you have more time to
- 24:59Speaker 3: build up because you're coming off with something that ended
- 25:01Speaker 3: some feuse and ended some stories and now you have
- 25:05Speaker 3: nothing to build one.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Well, don't forget they did already set up Darby Allen
- 25:12Speaker 2: for Grand Slam, which is next month. Uh. And then
- 25:16Speaker 2: you do have Christian Cage with a title shot, a
- 25:21Speaker 2: guaranteed title shot.
- 25:22Speaker 3: How many people actually think Christian Cage is gonna win
- 25:25Speaker 3: the world title?
- 25:27Speaker 6: You know, we think Christian Cage won't do a lot,
- 25:30Speaker 6: and he keeps doing a lot.
- 25:32Speaker 3: Well, he keeps doing, but I don't know, I just
- 25:36Speaker 3: don't see Christian Cage holding the world title.
- 25:39Speaker 4: I will say I never would have thought I would
- 25:41Speaker 4: say TNT Champion Christian Cage.
- 25:44Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm That's what I mean.
- 25:47Speaker 6: He keeps doing a lot of things that nobody thinks
- 25:51Speaker 6: he's gonna do, so I would not say never.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Yeh.
- 25:56Speaker 2: What I would play up here is, Look, Brian Danielson
- 26:00Speaker 2: and Christian Cage did have a match in October twenty
- 26:03Speaker 2: twenty three for the T and T title, which at
- 26:06Speaker 2: the time was held by Christian Cage. It was a
- 26:10Speaker 2: great match that Brian Danielson was on the verge of winning,
- 26:15Speaker 2: but then Big Bill, who at the time was won
- 26:17Speaker 2: half of the the aw Tag Team Champions with Ricky Starks.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Big Bill came out and caused a distraction which allowed
- 26:27Speaker 2: Ricky Starks to literally dive into the ring in one
- 26:31Speaker 2: fell swoop hit Brian Danielson across the head and knocked
- 26:36Speaker 2: him out, and Christian Cage got the win. So it
- 26:39Speaker 2: was a Christian Cage victory, but it wasn't a clean victory,
- 26:44Speaker 2: and I think that they need to play up that
- 26:49Speaker 2: angle where Brian Danielson is pissed off at Christian Cage
- 26:54Speaker 2: for that and build a story around that particular ular thing.
- 27:06Speaker 2: I want to go ahead and talk about Dynamite because
- 27:10Speaker 2: this is an interesting little show, and I want to
- 27:14Speaker 2: specifically talk about the match that I'm dreading and looking
- 27:21Speaker 2: forward to, honestly because of something that actually Sutton said earlier,
- 27:29Speaker 2: and I am talking about the eight man All Star
- 27:32Speaker 2: Tag team match where on one side you've got the conglobration.
- 27:37Speaker 2: The word of the day is overused against the Learning
- 27:43Speaker 2: Tree and Rodert Strong for whatever reason. When this match
- 27:50Speaker 2: was announced, it got a lot of pushback on Twitter,
- 27:54Speaker 2: which actually made Tony Kahn respond to it he said,
- 27:58Speaker 2: trust me, guys. Basically, I don't know what he said,
- 28:01Speaker 2: but he's like, fruss be guys, I know what I'm
- 28:05Speaker 2: doing here. You're not going to be disappointed when you
- 28:09Speaker 2: have to legitimize your own booking.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Like that. You know it's shit booking.
- 28:17Speaker 2: I think a lot more people than just me are
- 28:21Speaker 2: sick and tired to see in the same shit every
- 28:23Speaker 2: week with these same guys.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Come on seriously.
- 28:28Speaker 2: And what I meant when I said that, what else
- 28:32Speaker 2: Sutton said was you brought up the Hurt Syndicate, which
- 28:37Speaker 2: is what they're called, Bobby Lapsley, MVP Centric, Alexander whomever.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Maybe this is the point where they come out and
- 28:45Speaker 2: they get involved in match. Maybe this is the point
- 28:49Speaker 2: because because Tony Kahn is alluding to something there, He's
- 28:53Speaker 2: alluding to, Okay, this isn't just going to be another
- 28:58Speaker 2: one of these mats, these boring as ship matches that
- 29:05Speaker 2: he puts on every goddamn week. We see Roderick Strong,
- 29:10Speaker 2: and we see Orange Cassidy and we see Kyle O'Reilly.
- 29:15Speaker 2: It's getting all it's it's not getting old, it's ben old.
- 29:20Speaker 2: I'm sorry it has.
- 29:24Speaker 3: You have you this.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Roll ups, Wait a minute.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Hold on, now you see who the opponents are against
- 29:32Speaker 3: the conglomeration. Correct, it's it's the Learning Tree and Roderick
- 29:36Speaker 3: Strong versus the Conglomeration. What's the match? At the end
- 29:41Speaker 3: of the hook match, big Bill got hit by Jericho.
- 29:47Speaker 3: This could be the end of the Learning Tree tomorrow night.
- 29:51Speaker 3: There could be the mask gets started, they start going
- 29:55Speaker 3: at it, and then all of a sudden, Big Bill
- 29:58Speaker 3: and the Bad Apple turn on your Ericho and they
- 30:01Speaker 3: end Jericho's Learning Tree, which could be a big deal.
- 30:05Speaker 3: I mean, that would be a lot of people want
- 30:07Speaker 3: to see that go. So that could be what happens
- 30:10Speaker 3: tomorrow night.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what are you gonna do about Roderick?
- 30:13Speaker 2: I mean, uh, Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Why are we going to end that?
- 30:20Speaker 3: Well, hopefully that's I mean, they're gonna use those guys
- 30:23Speaker 3: together for a while. But like I've said before about
- 30:26Speaker 3: Roderick Strong and the Kingdom, they need to go to
- 30:29Speaker 3: Roh and stay there. They don't belong in eat ae W.
- 30:33Speaker 3: They're not strong enough to carry aw anymore. They weren't.
- 30:36Speaker 3: They were a joke when they were the They had
- 30:38Speaker 3: the titles and they're just filler now. I mean, seriously,
- 30:43Speaker 3: they if they get rid of Roderick Strong, you won't
- 30:46Speaker 3: have as much with the conglomeration because it seems that
- 30:49Speaker 3: the he's the only thing they're used for.
- 30:51Speaker 2: Well I'm just saying is that, And I don't know
- 30:53Speaker 2: if you agree with me, but when you look at
- 30:54Speaker 2: the conglomeration, you look at undisputed Kingdom Ardie necessary Kingdom
- 31:00Speaker 2: as I call it, it's it's basically I mean, this
- 31:03Speaker 2: is like the seventy third match that they've had, you know, together,
- 31:08Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with you, point what is the
- 31:12Speaker 2: point this match?
- 31:14Speaker 3: It's like we've said all along. You know, you have
- 31:17Speaker 3: such a huge loster. Using the same guys week in
- 31:21Speaker 3: and week out for every show makes no sense, absolutely
- 31:24Speaker 3: no sense. You have them once a week, once a month.
- 31:28Speaker 3: You get rotating. Tony needs to start rotating his usage
- 31:33Speaker 3: of people, because there are people we haven't seen in ages.
- 31:37Speaker 6: When I started, oh sorry, no good oh. When I
- 31:42Speaker 6: started that conversation, I asked a question on Reddit about
- 31:47Speaker 6: that seeing other people. Especially leading up to the pay
- 31:51Speaker 6: per view, a lot of people were of the mind
- 31:55Speaker 6: that a w still had to sell tickets and you
- 32:00Speaker 6: weren't going to sell tickets by putting people who didn't
- 32:05Speaker 6: have big names into matches. So it seems kind of
- 32:11Speaker 6: like a catch twenty two. Either you put these big
- 32:15Speaker 6: names out there every week, or I guess Tony Kahan
- 32:21Speaker 6: and everybody else who runs the show is worried that
- 32:24Speaker 6: they won't fill the seat.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Well that okay, Look, I'm ben a counteract that I'm
- 32:32Speaker 2: an a counter come up with a counterpoint to that
- 32:35Speaker 2: aw has not been filling the seats and the why
- 32:40Speaker 2: let me put it this way, I'm a big aaw fan.
- 32:43Speaker 2: I'm the host of the aw fan up subreddit. You know,
- 32:46Speaker 2: I'm co founder of the subreddit, am the host of
- 32:49Speaker 2: the podcast. I I absolutely do not see Roderick Strong,
- 32:56Speaker 2: Kyle O'Reilly, Orange, Cassidy, Chris Jericho as a selling point
- 33:03Speaker 2: to buy it for me to buy a ticket.
- 33:05Speaker 1: I don't know how the rest of you feel.
- 33:07Speaker 2: But if I'm looking at a car and I'm like, oh,
- 33:09Speaker 2: they're there again, so I mean, I'm.
- 33:14Speaker 7: Sorry, but I what could they possibly do in this
- 33:20Speaker 7: match other than a run in that somebody comes in
- 33:24Speaker 7: and cleaves clocks?
- 33:25Speaker 1: You know, but if this.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Is a straight up match, what could they possibly do
- 33:30Speaker 2: that would make this different for the last twenty five
- 33:34Speaker 2: times that we see them in the last twenty five weeks.
- 33:37Speaker 6: The only thing, the only thing I was hoping for
- 33:43Speaker 6: during the pay per view was when Tyle O'Reilly ran in,
- 33:49Speaker 6: was that he just kept on running. So if they
- 33:53Speaker 6: did something like that, if he just ran to the ring,
- 33:56Speaker 6: ran through the ring and just kept going, and other
- 33:59Speaker 6: than that, I don't see it.
- 34:01Speaker 3: So you could return some with Joe tomorrow night. I
- 34:07Speaker 3: mean that's possible. Uh, there's a lot of possibility. But
- 34:11Speaker 3: you're right, You're absolutely right, And and I disagree with
- 34:14Speaker 3: that whole You have that big name stars on the
- 34:17Speaker 3: on the pay per view. You just had the big
- 34:19Speaker 3: name stars on a pay per view two weeks later.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Having another star filled pay per view is too rushed.
- 34:26Speaker 3: There are a lot of people that they've that have
- 34:29Speaker 3: been brought into this company that don't get used. And
- 34:33Speaker 3: you will sell tickets, put it in a smaller venue,
- 34:36Speaker 3: put it as a as a you know that. That's
- 34:38Speaker 3: part of the reason why Tony Kahn is having such
- 34:41Speaker 3: issues right now with that is because he uses the
- 34:44Speaker 3: same people too much and he's not giving everybody the
- 34:47Speaker 3: same amount of chance that he should. I just I
- 34:50Speaker 3: just think that that that that whole here, you have
- 34:52Speaker 3: to have the biggest stars on the pay per view
- 34:54Speaker 3: to sell it. I don't buy that.
- 34:56Speaker 2: I would much rather see I would much rather see
- 35:00Speaker 2: Camille than Orange Cassidy at all. Out me too, you know,
- 35:05Speaker 2: I want to see somebody that has potential afforded the
- 35:13Speaker 2: opportunity to live up to upper potential. It's preposterous to
- 35:18Speaker 2: me that we're seeing whole shows. I'm not even talking
- 35:23Speaker 2: pay per views. I'm talking dynamite collision rampage. We're having
- 35:27Speaker 2: fifteen minute blocks of every single show and every single
- 35:31Speaker 2: week that dedicated to the same guys.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Over and over.
- 35:35Speaker 2: And what's worse is they're doing the same thing over
- 35:39Speaker 2: and over. There's no or I can't really say no.
- 35:43Speaker 2: It's very rare that they're doing a match. How many
- 35:46Speaker 2: times we're going to see the conglomeration against the same entities.
- 35:52Speaker 2: I mean, we're doing the same thing over and over
- 35:55Speaker 2: and over again. I use the term groundhog day, like
- 35:59Speaker 2: the movie on dog Day with Bill Murray. When it
- 36:02Speaker 2: comes to this particular group, I feel like I'm stuck
- 36:06Speaker 2: in groundhog Day.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Yeah, wwe repeat and rerun, re repeat and redo everything
- 36:15Speaker 3: the same all the time, and then they wonder why
- 36:18Speaker 3: their numbers are down. They wonder why they're struggling to
- 36:21Speaker 3: do this, that and the other. And that's exactly what
- 36:23Speaker 3: happened to the WWE when they broke up the Shield.
- 36:26Speaker 3: They started doing every match the same. Every time you
- 36:29Speaker 3: watch the show was the same. And we're starting to
- 36:31Speaker 3: get that into aw And I don't know if it's
- 36:33Speaker 3: just that Tony doesn't recognize it or the fact, like
- 36:38Speaker 3: I've said before, where he plans things out so far
- 36:41Speaker 3: in advance, and he's proven over time that he's not
- 36:44Speaker 3: able to change real he's not able to move quick
- 36:47Speaker 3: on his feet sometimes, and that could be a part
- 36:50Speaker 3: of the problem too.
- 36:51Speaker 1: Well.
- 36:52Speaker 4: I think that the conglomeration, and by that I just
- 36:56Speaker 4: I'm going to add Roddy to it because he's been
- 36:59Speaker 4: tenjenly attached to this group the whole time. I think
- 37:02Speaker 4: the main problem is that that is the feud, and
- 37:05Speaker 4: we're just getting a reshuffle of all the guys there.
- 37:07Speaker 4: So we'll have Hologram who's part of the team one week,
- 37:11Speaker 4: or we have the Beast Mortos who's on the heel
- 37:13Speaker 4: team this week. Or well, it's it's still this group
- 37:17Speaker 4: of guys that it seems like there's no direction for
- 37:20Speaker 4: so we're just going to cram them all together and
- 37:22Speaker 4: random order week after week after week after week after week.
- 37:26Speaker 4: And now, I mean you can hear us, we've all
- 37:28Speaker 4: kind of grown sick of it.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like adding a different narrator to the same
- 37:34Speaker 2: story every week. Yes, way I could to explain it.
- 37:39Speaker 2: I mean, it's just boring. So let's move on to
- 37:42Speaker 2: something that's maybe a little bit more I'm kind of
- 37:46Speaker 2: excited about it. Is Ricochet and Kyle Fletcher making an
- 37:53Speaker 2: appearance on Dynamite with Ricochet's in ring Dynamite debut. This
- 38:00Speaker 2: is this could be interesting because Kyle Fletcher's buddies with
- 38:07Speaker 2: Will Osprey. Ricochet is buddies with real will Osprey. So
- 38:13Speaker 2: although will Osprey is kind of played it up that
- 38:15Speaker 2: he doesn't like Ricochet that much, but we'll see.
- 38:19Speaker 1: I mean, are you excited to see Ricochet?
- 38:24Speaker 4: Very excited to see Ricochet. I do have a spicy
- 38:27Speaker 4: prediction though, I think it uh Ricochet turns heel and
- 38:33Speaker 4: aligns himself with Don Kallas and they kick out Kyle Fletcher.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Oh, very interesting. We'll have to. If that happens, we'll
- 38:43Speaker 1: get to give you props.
- 38:45Speaker 3: We can't keep having everybody turn heel. They an't come in,
- 38:49Speaker 3: they do his thing, don't adding, don't add him. He
- 38:52Speaker 3: doesn't need Don Kallas. There's no need for Don Kellis
- 38:55Speaker 3: to have him.
- 38:57Speaker 1: I don't think Don.
- 38:57Speaker 3: Callas is gonna have to kick out Kyle Fletcher. I
- 38:59Speaker 3: think that once once uh Osprey settles down, and if
- 39:05Speaker 3: anybody have any idea when Fletcher's partner's coming back, anybody heard.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Anything, I have not heard a word. I did look
- 39:14Speaker 2: it up a few weeks ago, and it just there's
- 39:17Speaker 2: nothing to be said about who was it.
- 39:20Speaker 3: There was somebody during the broadcast of the pay per
- 39:22Speaker 3: view that mentioned him but called him his former partner,
- 39:25Speaker 3: So that kind of found a little odd because he's
- 39:28Speaker 3: just hurt. It's not like the team broke up. They
- 39:30Speaker 3: just he's been out. So if you hear that kind
- 39:34Speaker 3: of stuff, you know it's I think that Osprey's going
- 39:36Speaker 3: to I think that they're going to kick Fletcher out,
- 39:39Speaker 3: but I think it's going to be of his own choice,
- 39:41Speaker 3: and he's going to join uh Osprey and then possibly
- 39:45Speaker 3: bring in Ricochet to add to the United.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Empire. Yeah, that's it.
- 39:54Speaker 3: There so many United I can't remember which one which,
- 39:57Speaker 3: but yeah, I think that's what's gonna happen. Hopefully they
- 39:59Speaker 3: don't turn somebody else immediately into a heel. That's just
- 40:03Speaker 3: way too much.
- 40:05Speaker 2: I did make a graphic last week where I had Ricochet,
- 40:10Speaker 2: Kyle Fletcher, Well Osbury and somebody else. I can't remember
- 40:13Speaker 2: who I put into graphic to be honest with you
- 40:15Speaker 2: right now, but I did have them reforming the United Empire.
- 40:20Speaker 6: Allie's painting isn't complete, don't forget.
- 40:24Speaker 4: So who knows Hobb's put on Twitter that he's coming
- 40:30Speaker 4: back soon.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's very true.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that.
- 40:40Speaker 2: If you get like Kyle Fletcher and even Ricochet as
- 40:44Speaker 2: a tag I would rather that that grizzled young Vets.
- 40:51Speaker 2: I'm just not invested in them at all. I mean,
- 40:55Speaker 2: they just seem like a slightly better outrunners to me.
- 40:58Speaker 2: I mean that's where I look at it.
- 41:00Speaker 3: They could just be the spark, you know what I mean,
- 41:04Speaker 3: They could just be the first group that is there
- 41:08Speaker 3: to represent the newest parts of the tag team division
- 41:12Speaker 3: that needs Honestly, we all know it needs rebuilt. It's
- 41:15Speaker 3: pretty much become shit, and hopefully that might just be
- 41:20Speaker 3: the first beginning of it.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Well, we just saw the Box defeat the Acclaimed and FDR,
- 41:28Speaker 2: so they definitely need to build somebody else because FDR
- 41:32Speaker 2: and the Acclaimed aren't hanging it, They're not hacking it.
- 41:37Speaker 6: Is anyone excited about the von Erics at all?
- 41:41Speaker 2: I was thinking about them, I am, but they're they're
- 41:45Speaker 2: a rig of honor.
- 41:46Speaker 1: They should be at rig of Honor.
- 41:47Speaker 6: Oh yeah, but I mean, we can be excited.
- 41:51Speaker 3: I saw them for the first time in the in
- 41:55Speaker 3: the pre show, and I'm gonna tell you what, I
- 41:57Speaker 3: can't remember which one it is, the bigger one. He's
- 41:59Speaker 3: pretty big, and he's pretty.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Good in the rings.
- 42:02Speaker 3: From what I've seen of him so far, I think
- 42:04Speaker 3: they actually have a chance to be something sometimes.
- 42:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and you've got Semi Gavara there, you know.
- 42:14Speaker 2: And I think Sammy's doing really, really well. You know,
- 42:19Speaker 2: he's wrestled a few times on Ring of Honor. His
- 42:23Speaker 2: personality is coming through. He's out from under Chris Jericho, which,
- 42:28Speaker 2: as I believe, is exactly what he wanted, and so
- 42:33Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to that. The only thing I'm looking
- 42:35Speaker 2: forward to I think you're gonna see Jamie Hater and
- 42:39Speaker 2: Sorea at all out, which, frankly, I'd like to see that,
- 42:44Speaker 2: I really would. It's something different, and it's a stepping stone,
- 42:50Speaker 2: let's face it, but Cater against Harley Cameron, and Harley
- 42:57Speaker 2: Cameron has gone from being and I hate to say this,
- 43:02Speaker 2: but she was kind of like ring dressing. I guess
- 43:07Speaker 2: it's the best way to put it. She was comic relief.
- 43:09Speaker 2: She's actually pretty damn good in the ring, and I'm
- 43:13Speaker 2: glad that she's getting her chances to earn her spot.
- 43:18Speaker 2: I mean, sure, she's going through a tough time as
- 43:21Speaker 2: far as in the wind Lost column, but hey, so
- 43:26Speaker 2: did Sky Blue, so did Julia Hart, and they elevated
- 43:31Speaker 2: themselves through hard work. I can't stress how impressed I
- 43:36Speaker 2: am with Harley Cameron's ring work. She's doing a lot
- 43:41Speaker 2: better than I expected. Jamie Hater, Gosh, it's just going
- 43:47Speaker 2: to be great to see her wrestling.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Is it me?
- 43:51Speaker 2: Or does it look like she's in much much better shape,
- 43:57Speaker 2: not that she was in mad shape before. She looks
- 44:01Speaker 2: she just looks like she could do somersaults, where before
- 44:06Speaker 2: she looked like a bruiser. Nothing wrong with that, but
- 44:09Speaker 2: now she looks more athletic, I guess, is what I'm saying. Yeah,
- 44:13Speaker 2: I think she's.
- 44:14Speaker 3: I think she's definitely it's the time for her to
- 44:16Speaker 3: come back and it'll be nice to see her in
- 44:17Speaker 3: the ring. And to me, it just makes the current
- 44:23Speaker 3: situation in the women's division. I can't really explain what
- 44:27Speaker 3: I want to say here because it has diversity and
- 44:31Speaker 3: pulls it'll further for me, pulls it further away from
- 44:35Speaker 3: what they think it is now because for whatever reason,
- 44:40Speaker 3: to me, the way they did the women's title and
- 44:43Speaker 3: the TBS title on Sunday, they kind of tried to
- 44:47Speaker 3: say that the TBS title is more important than the
- 44:49Speaker 3: women's title. But from the matches, there was no comparison,
- 44:55Speaker 3: not one big comparison. The women's The TBS title with
- 44:58Speaker 3: Monet and Bart and Baker got absolutely no crowd reaction,
- 45:03Speaker 3: very very little. There were nobody standing up. The only
- 45:06Speaker 3: time they stood up in that match was when Camille
- 45:08Speaker 3: got sent off.
- 45:10Speaker 1: That was it.
- 45:11Speaker 3: If you go back and watch the replay of that match,
- 45:13Speaker 3: everybody sitting, hardly anybody's cheering, but the women's match, it
- 45:17Speaker 3: was everybody was into it. I don't know. I just
- 45:20Speaker 3: I'm hoping that.
- 45:21Speaker 2: I totally disagree with you. I totally disagree with you.
- 45:26Speaker 2: I watched both matches and I thought they both got
- 45:29Speaker 2: save reactions. I think you're looking at it with rose
- 45:34Speaker 2: colored glasses.
- 45:36Speaker 3: I was just watching the match and watching the people
- 45:38Speaker 3: behind it in the in the camera view, and they
- 45:40Speaker 3: all were sitting And the only time I saw him
- 45:42Speaker 3: get up was when Hate when when Camille got sent off,
- 45:45Speaker 3: and a couple of three in the back towards the
- 45:47Speaker 3: end of the first row or the main rows there
- 45:50Speaker 3: did the d M D thing once, But other than that,
- 45:52Speaker 3: I didn't see anybody. They didn't even cheer when she
- 45:55Speaker 3: got when when they got handled the title again, they
- 45:57Speaker 3: just sat there. But that's just what I saw.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think it has a lot to do
- 46:02Speaker 2: also with the story.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Just stop being very compelling.
- 46:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it was trying to say that
- 46:09Speaker 4: the TVs title was more invalid. I think when you're
- 46:13Speaker 4: looking at the layout of the show, there are two
- 46:17Speaker 4: very big matches with will Ospury and MJF and then
- 46:20Speaker 4: the main event are title match, and some match needed
- 46:23Speaker 4: to go in the middle. So let's not put the
- 46:25Speaker 4: match with the best story in that spot, so the
- 46:28Speaker 4: crowd can be enthused about that earlier in the show.
- 46:33Speaker 2: I think it has more to do with Mercedes Monet is.
- 46:41Speaker 1: How I put this.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Tony Kahn's expensive newer toy, and he wanted it because
- 46:48Speaker 2: she's a quote unquote name that has worldwide appeal. I
- 46:57Speaker 2: believe that Tony con thinks he can put Mercedes Monet
- 47:01Speaker 2: in the ring with anybody and it would sell. That
- 47:04Speaker 2: is not the case. You have to sell it, and
- 47:08Speaker 2: this just wasn't sold, and it was.
- 47:12Speaker 1: It's just Britt Baker.
- 47:18Speaker 2: Is a star, but she's a star for other reasons
- 47:22Speaker 2: that are that are wrestling. If that makes sense to me,
- 47:29Speaker 2: Baker needs a tag team partner to be.
- 47:34Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 47:37Speaker 2: I just don't see Baker as a singles wrestler. And
- 47:41Speaker 2: you're only as good as your opponent, and at a
- 47:44Speaker 2: one on one singles match, Baker can't hang with Monette. Now,
- 47:51Speaker 2: if it was a tag team, I do believe Baker
- 47:54Speaker 2: can hang because she has a tag team wrestling style.
- 47:58Speaker 2: To me, I don't see Baker is a singles wrestler. Yes,
- 48:02Speaker 2: she was the former women's champion, but when she was
- 48:08Speaker 2: the women's champion. The aw's women's division looks a whole
- 48:12Speaker 2: hell of a lot different. And I will say this
- 48:16Speaker 2: and I need this. If it was Sida in that match,
- 48:21Speaker 2: it would have been perfectly slotted right where it was
- 48:26Speaker 2: because you have two big names in that match. To me,
- 48:30Speaker 2: Baker is not the name that she once was.
- 48:38Speaker 4: I fully agree, and I'm kind of scared that the
- 48:42Speaker 4: hidas I'm coming back for the women's division, I'm coming
- 48:46Speaker 4: back for the women's division, will turn into her being
- 48:49Speaker 4: Mercedes next fewd and I don't think she takes it
- 48:52Speaker 4: from Mercedes.
- 48:56Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of people, and I don't know
- 48:57Speaker 2: how you feel about this. I've seen a lot of
- 49:01Speaker 2: people express opinions that she'da is going to be doing
- 49:05Speaker 2: a heel turn.
- 49:09Speaker 3: When you can look at it this way, she just
- 49:11Speaker 3: been a three time women's champion. Mercedes just come in
- 49:14Speaker 3: and been given everything she'd been given. I am not
- 49:17Speaker 3: impressed with her in the ring. Like I said before,
- 49:19Speaker 3: She's just exactly what I expected from a WWE trained
- 49:23Speaker 3: woman to come into aw She has some skill, it's
- 49:29Speaker 3: not that great because she didn't have that much to
- 49:31Speaker 3: work with in ANWWE. The man was about the only
- 49:34Speaker 3: one there that would be able to survive on the
- 49:37Speaker 3: aw roster and be impressive. She'dah comes in. She just
- 49:42Speaker 3: should either, I would see she'da going after the women's
- 49:45Speaker 3: title again instead of going after the TBS title, because
- 49:48Speaker 3: to me, the TBS title is your second fiddle title
- 49:52Speaker 3: and she doesn't need that title. She needs to be
- 49:55Speaker 3: put back into the women's division. If she turns seal,
- 49:57Speaker 3: she turns seal. Everybody else does, so why not she Yeah.
- 50:02Speaker 1: To think about it.
- 50:03Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys will agree with me
- 50:04Speaker 2: on this, but the thing about Monette that I am
- 50:07Speaker 2: the most impressed with is that she doesn't phone it in.
- 50:11Speaker 2: She really works to make her opponent look good, and
- 50:15Speaker 2: I really appreciate that he works her ass off. There
- 50:19Speaker 2: were moments in that brit Baker Mercedes Boname match at
- 50:23Speaker 2: All in where Mercedes literally put herself at risk to
- 50:28Speaker 2: try to make Baker look good, and I appreciate that.
- 50:33Speaker 3: That's so funny that you say that, but that's true.
- 50:35Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I've said it before and I
- 50:38Speaker 3: hate saying it all the time, but Baker doesn't deserve
- 50:41Speaker 3: to be anywhere near your title because she hasn't proved
- 50:44Speaker 3: herself to be able to be at one. You could
- 50:47Speaker 3: have put anybody in that match. It would have been
- 50:48Speaker 3: a better match. You could have put Lady Ice in
- 50:51Speaker 3: that match, and it would have been a better match.
- 50:53Speaker 3: But agad Ice, what's her name, that's what's her name?
- 51:00Speaker 1: Lady front lady.
- 51:02Speaker 2: I was like, you need to have the roster right
- 51:06Speaker 2: in front of your face when you do.
- 51:08Speaker 3: Anyway, the point is it would have been a better match.
- 51:12Speaker 3: But you know, again, I don't Sheidah could be a
- 51:18Speaker 3: huge champion as a face. And last week we talked
- 51:22Speaker 3: about how the fans determine what that person is. They're
- 51:25Speaker 3: going to cheer for Shidah whether she's a healer or face.
- 51:28Speaker 3: It doesn't matter because everybody, all the aw fans love
- 51:31Speaker 3: Chidah because she she does what she does. She comes
- 51:35Speaker 3: in the ring, like you said about money, she puts
- 51:38Speaker 3: everything into her matches. I have never seen a match
- 51:41Speaker 3: where she has come in and said I don't want
- 51:43Speaker 3: to feel like wrestling tonight, let me just let this
- 51:45Speaker 3: person win or whatever. So you know, I don't know,
- 51:49Speaker 3: We'll see what happens, but I would rather see her
- 51:50Speaker 3: go for.
- 51:51Speaker 2: The main title. Well, let's look at something else here.
- 51:57Speaker 2: I had brought up, you know, the reformation of Tony
- 52:00Speaker 2: Tony Storm and thunder Rosa, you know Thunderstorm. But that's
- 52:05Speaker 2: just one option. You know. Again, if if we do
- 52:09Speaker 2: have a women's tag title announced, that is definitely a
- 52:14Speaker 2: great team to have. But beyond that, what's next for
- 52:19Speaker 2: Tony's Storm.
- 52:24Speaker 4: I hope Tony takes a break. We we don't see
- 52:27Speaker 4: Tony Storm for a little while and Mariah can be
- 52:31Speaker 4: a strong champion because then you know, everyone's going to
- 52:34Speaker 4: lose their mind when that music hids.
- 52:38Speaker 2: Did you see the Did you see what Tony Storm
- 52:41Speaker 2: did after the match against Mariah may Uh? They showed her.
- 52:46Speaker 2: She they did a black and white little vignette back
- 52:49Speaker 2: there at all In and she basically walked backstage and
- 52:53Speaker 2: just kept on walk as she hopped over, went outside,
- 52:55Speaker 2: hopped over the barrier and just started walking the streets
- 52:58Speaker 2: of London here with Luthor behind her.
- 53:02Speaker 3: Renee Piquette said that if you didn't watch the media scrum,
- 53:06Speaker 3: they had a little thing with her and RJ, and
- 53:10Speaker 3: they did a whole thing about what happened after the match,
- 53:14Speaker 3: and they said she just took off and kept going
- 53:16Speaker 3: and they said that Luther was frantically running after trying
- 53:20Speaker 3: to stop her. I hope with Tony Storm. I don't
- 53:23Speaker 3: hope she disappears. I just hope she takes some time
- 53:26Speaker 3: out of the ring and goes full meltdown, because that's
- 53:29Speaker 3: where her character was leading to when this whole thing
- 53:32Speaker 3: started breaking down. I'm hoping that's what they do, and
- 53:34Speaker 3: when she comes back, she comes back as Tony Storm,
- 53:38Speaker 3: not the scarlet Tony Storm. Yeah.
- 53:43Speaker 2: But okay, so let me ask you guys a question. So,
- 53:45Speaker 2: now Tony Storm is no longer the women's champion, Mariah
- 53:50Speaker 2: May is the women's world champion.
- 53:53Speaker 1: What do you think of Maria Man.
- 53:59Speaker 3: In the build up to this whole thing, when she
- 54:01Speaker 3: was having the she was with with Tony Storm, I
- 54:05Speaker 3: thought she was much more believable. I think when they
- 54:09Speaker 3: did the breakaway, they did it too soon. It kind
- 54:12Speaker 3: of lost I mean, that story was still good, but
- 54:14Speaker 3: it kind of lost some of it there. I think
- 54:17Speaker 3: she's a good wrestler. We're just gonna have to see
- 54:19Speaker 3: how she works with other people.
- 54:23Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of what I'm curious about. I'm trying
- 54:25Speaker 4: to think of like babyfaces that could so we have
- 54:28Speaker 4: thunder rows up, maybe Serena deeb. But who's ready and
- 54:32Speaker 4: rare and to go to be a believable challenger right now?
- 54:38Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 54:38Speaker 2: I mean, Nott, do you have any who? What do
- 54:42Speaker 2: you think of Mariah May? And who do you think
- 54:44Speaker 2: is next for Mariah May?
- 54:50Speaker 6: I like her, I you know, I don't hate her.
- 54:54Speaker 6: I like her pretty much. I can see her and
- 54:59Speaker 6: thunder Rose. I think they would be good against each other.
- 55:05Speaker 5: Mmmm.
- 55:06Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 55:07Speaker 6: She's got quite a few people on the women's roster
- 55:11Speaker 6: to choose from, but I'd like to see her in
- 55:13Speaker 6: thunder Rosa against one another develop a little something there.
- 55:18Speaker 6: Then thunder Rosa has been missing for a little while
- 55:20Speaker 6: and I'm miss seeing her, so I'd like to get
- 55:24Speaker 6: that going.
- 55:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're gonna see, you know what, all out.
- 55:27Speaker 2: I could see Thunderosa and Diata Parozzo. I could see
- 55:32Speaker 2: a lot of I think all that's gonna be a
- 55:36Speaker 2: women's showcase. To be honest with you, I think you're
- 55:39Speaker 2: gonna see some women's matches that all out. I mean
- 55:44Speaker 2: we're already. I think you're gonna see obviously, you're gonna
- 55:47Speaker 2: see stat Lander and Willow Nightingale, I do think you're
- 55:50Speaker 2: gonna see Parozzo and h and thunder Rosa. I wouldn't
- 55:57Speaker 2: be shocked if you saw Mercedes Bonet against somebody probably
- 56:01Speaker 2: in my opinion, I really do hope that it's a
- 56:04Speaker 2: tag match, so you would see four women in that match.
- 56:09Speaker 2: So I really do think that you're gonna see a
- 56:11Speaker 2: lot more women's participation on the main show and all
- 56:16Speaker 2: out that you did and all in. It's gonna be
- 56:18Speaker 2: almost Forbidden doorsh Remember we had four women's matches and
- 56:22Speaker 2: Forbidden Door, So I think it's gonna be kind of
- 56:25Speaker 2: the same kind of thing.
- 56:30Speaker 4: Whatever gets some new faces on TV. I'm four, I mean,
- 56:34Speaker 4: and he said you'd miss seeing thunder Rosa, but even
- 56:36Speaker 4: seeing Taya Valkyrie. She played a role in the thunder
- 56:39Speaker 4: Rosa Deanna Paroff's a feud. So I'd like to see more.
- 56:43Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I of Alkyray.
- 56:46Speaker 2: I would love to see. In all honesty, I would
- 56:52Speaker 2: love to see Mercedes Bonett and Camille against Athena and
- 56:59Speaker 2: Billy Starr work. I would just think that would be
- 57:03Speaker 2: a great match.
- 57:06Speaker 4: I agree.
- 57:07Speaker 1: Thanks for listening, guys. This is Kelson. Good night, everybody,
- 57:15Speaker 1: not everybody, good night. Eddie Kingston,
