0:34

0:38
post onner doct Tray Franklin, doctor Tray. I'm still waiting for the Wan
0:42
Soto trade to go through. My friend. Oh no, we know you
0:46
can't have one Soto if I don't get show. Hey, o's honey.
0:50
I also want at least two starting pitchers, uh, and a good setup
0:55
man for my cup. So my Christmas list for the winter season is the
0:59
gun. Uh. You got Alex Perdugo. You should be happy with that.
1:03
You got you gotta. You got a guy from the reds You got
1:04
the Red Sox that trade you a player. I mean, for crying out
1:07
loud, that's a that's amazing. Uh. There's a good chance that maybe
1:11
seventy five percent of our listeners are going, like, what the hell are
1:14
they talking about? We are talking about baseball? Doctor Trey Chicago Cubs fan
1:19
Jeff Peck me New York Yankees fan Wait wait, wants not Wan Soto and
1:25
show Atani are not luchadors nor for wrestling. Really, no, no,
1:30
no, I don't even think there's a I mean, yeah, sho Hey
1:32
o Tani. I don't even think there's anybody that's had a similar wrestling name,
1:36
though it wouldn't shock me that at some point, like a show Hey,
1:40
becomes a name for professional wrestler because he's so damn popular. But you
1:42
know what, there was never an each hero No no, and uh,
1:47
I mean, I'm really surprised that with the amount of young Asian Americans on
1:52
the independent scenes, that nobody's busting out the uh, show Hey Yakamatsu name
1:57
or something like that, because saying show hey it really is kind of fun
2:01
to say at a wrestling the show is. It's a very nice name,
2:05
and it would be a good chant, like let's go show hey. Sh
2:09
Anyway, I am sitting here literally refreshing X as I'm recording the podcast and
2:15
hopes that they want soda trade happens while we record. If not, by
2:19
the time you download this on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, whatever, hopefully
2:23
the trade has gone through. If it hasn't and Soda was traded somewhere else.
2:27
Boy, do I have some egg in my face? And stay tuned
2:30
for the Sports a Minute with Doctor Trey and Jeff Peck on next week's edition.
2:32
Mass Are to You. But nonetheless, this is a wrestling podcast.
2:36
We are here to talk about professional wrestling and in the world of MLB.
2:40
Right now, it's a big free agency season and in twenty twenty four the
2:46
world of professional wrestling could have a very large free agent pool, one of
2:51
those names being somebody I did not expect whatsoever would be available for free agency,
2:58
and that could be arguably now with will Ospray off the board, the
3:02
number one potential free agent and professional wrestling, and that person, similar to
3:07
will Ospray, comes from New Japan Pro Wrestling, and that person is the
3:10
Rainmaker, Kazuchika or Kazuchka, depending on how you pronounce it, Okada.
3:16
According to sports illustrators Justin Bursero. He is reporting this comes to his via
3:21
Wrestling Inc. As well that former IWGP Worldyweight Champion Kauzichio Okada's contract with New
3:25
Japan Pro Wrestling expires at the end of January and there's a chance that the
3:30
current never openweight six man tag champion could hit free agency. Okada appeared on
3:35
AW Dynamine October, and at the time it was assumed that it was merely
3:38
to build towards his January fourth match against Brian Danielson, but the trip is
3:43
reportedly to also give Okada a better sense of how AW operates should he decide
3:46
to join. His other option is WE, which has made continual overtures.
3:52
W Vice President of Developmental Creative Sean Michaels believes that Okada would adapt seamously to
3:55
W style should Okada opt to join the promotion, which is now operated by
4:00
t K Group Holdings in the wake of w's merger with UFC. There is
4:04
a lot of speculation as of late that the reason why WW is booked Knockamore
4:10
as strong has also been an appeal to Okada's camp and an appeal to Japanese
4:15
wrestlers as they potentially roll off of New Japan Pro Wrestling, that W could
4:19
be a place that you could go to and be successful. Under Triple H's
4:24
reign, Knackimore has been booked very very solidly. Under visick Man's reign,
4:28
it was complete opposite, so My hope is Knackamore, who has been phenomenal
4:32
the last quarter of a year, really looking forward to his match with Cody
4:34
Rhads on Monday's Raw, sees more of this type of creative than less.
4:41
But is it a bargaining ship potentially or a way to show the new Japan
4:45
Pro Wrestling stars, Japanese stars that coming to America you don't have to just
4:47
go to awww a's an option potentially, but nonetheless, going back to the
4:51
initial store here, doctor Trey Kazu's Ko Kata potentially a free agent at the
4:57
end of January. This is a huge deal. Yeah, it's a very
5:00
huge deal. I mean, he's arguably you know, well they always say
5:03
he's the John Cena of what New Japan's been over the last decade. It's
5:08
it's it'd be very similar like if John Cena came open to a free agent
5:11
betting war and you know some of those promotions over in Japan or in England
5:15
were trying to sign him. It's like bringing the biggest import from another country
5:19
over into your brand. So it's gonna draw eyeballs, it's gonna draw attention,
5:25
and he's arguably maybe one of the few handful of names in New Japan
5:30
that most wrestling fans know. I would I don't think every single wrestling fan
5:34
knows who Kazuhio Kinda is, but I would say the beast majority do.
5:39
So. It's not like signing, you know, a Coda Abushi or even
5:45
Kenta, where you still had the diehards knew who they were, but you
5:48
still had to introduce him to the American audience a little more. Okata is
5:53
a guy that you can bring in and people will kind of go, oh,
5:55
I've heard of him, I've been wanting to see him, and they
5:58
will tune into that product, regard wordless of the brand, just to get
6:01
eyes on Ocada. Yeah, this is a big opportunity. Should he hit
6:06
free agency? And I say should he because we don't really know. There's
6:11
been an update to report about this all. But looking at the initial onset,
6:14
I mean, to me, doctor Trey a couple of weeks ago,
6:15
I said, out of everybody in twenty twenty four potential free agency, the
6:19
name that I would most want if I was running a breasting promotion would be
6:24
will Osprey. Does Okada? I mean my opinion, he becomes a number
6:29
one name on the list should he hit for agency in twenty twenty four.
6:31
But would Ocata be a bigger deal to you than will Ospray would? Like,
6:39
if you're building a company long term, I think it's still Ospray.
6:44
But if you're going for a short term, like if we're going for that
6:46
we're talking about baseball to looking for that impact bat that's gonna get you to
6:49
the World Series, I would think it'd be Ocata because in the short term
6:54
he's going to draw more eyes. I do think what o'cada's probably about eight
6:57
years older than Osprey. He's in his to late thirties now, so maybe
7:02
he's not a long term pillar building block, but he's definitely gonna get you.
7:09
If you brought an Ocada in for WrestleMania season or for all In season,
7:14
it's gonna draw more eyeballs because that Japanese audience is going to gravitate towards
7:16
it. So, once again, like building a company, I probably take
7:20
Osprey's short term investment to get the biggest production out of it, I would
7:26
probably say Ocada. Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Radio via Wrestling Ink Here put
7:30
a little bit of water on this story. Although speculations in building that Okada
7:36
could now end up sign with WI or a W, the situation with his
7:39
deal is quote overplayed in some ways. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there's
7:45
definitely interest from WWI and bringing in o'cad in that promotion, and that the
7:47
promotion feels there's a better chance of getting him now than ever before. However,
7:50
it was noted that every wrestler's contract with New Japan par Wrestling expires at
7:55
the end of January each year. Recent details indicated that o'cada's appearance for AW
8:00
back in October was in order for him to get a feel for the promotion
8:03
and see how Tony Kahan operates in case he had interest in joining the Rainmaker
8:07
wrestle on the October twenty fifth edition of AW Dynamite, teaming with Orange Cassidy
8:11
against members of the Blackpool Combat Club. Additionally, word is making the rounds
8:16
that Sewn Michaels, w's vice president of Developmental Creative feels that Okata would find
8:18
it easy. We mentioned that before in the recent focus on pushing Knackamoor and
8:22
Maving because of the organization's interest in bringing in Ocada. Another part that we
8:28
mentioned before. I don't know, you know, you got meltzer putting a
8:31
little bit of water on these flames, Doctor Trey. But if every wrestler
8:39
in New Japan's contract comes up in January, then why haven't we sat here
8:43
before and talked about, Hey, Okada maybe up for free agency, or
8:50
he may be available to the WE or aw or Tana Hashi may be available.
8:54
I mean, that just seems strange to me. I don't think a
8:56
story like this hits Sports Illustrate if there isn't some smoke to this fire.
9:03
Yeah, I think if I'm not miss saying, I read this once where
9:05
every wrestler under New Japan like if they sign, like the company holds almost
9:11
like a club option type thing where they can kind of renew it with incremental
9:18
pay raises. But after so many years it does enter just outright free agency
9:24
renegotiating period. So you're right, like, if this is the thing every
9:28
single year, every single year you and I was sayingbing like, who's getting
9:31
a Taanda Hashi, who's getting Okada? Who's getting you know, the insert
9:37
your favorite New Japan wrestor. The American guys would be up every single year,
9:41
why wasn't this mentioned last year with will Ospring Like that? To me
9:46
seems egregious to report that, oh, well, everybody comes up in JA.
9:50
I think there is some kind of option that the promotion holds for so
9:56
many years and then after that time you can then either leave or renegotiate,
10:01
because otherwise this would be the same thing every single year, and it'd be
10:05
it'd be like college football to transfer portal. It'd just be like chaos right
10:09
now, watching guys jump all over the map from New Japan to the UK,
10:13
UK to Japan and Japan the US and vice versa. It'd be just
10:16
just craziness everywhere. So let's talk about February first, twenty twenty four.
10:22
Right, it's the contract has ran out with New Japan. Ocada is a
10:28
free agent. Where does he land? Doctor Trey? Is it AW?
10:31
Is it w w A? Is it New Japan Pro Wrestling? Where is
10:35
he wrestling at the halfway point in twenty twenty four, assuming he signed,
10:39
I just think he's gonna stay in New Japan. I mean, if he
10:43
goes to me, it's hard for like, if I'm him and I'm looking
10:46
like, well, let's see, like I'm not gonna make the jump because
10:48
of how they booked since they not gonna work for six months. You know,
10:52
like that's seems crazy. That's crazy to me as well, like or
10:56
oh my gosh, they booked Oscar, Kyrie and EO right for a few
11:00
months. Let me jump there. But I also would be caustious about going
11:03
to AAW because although yeah, Jay White got a push, we assume will
11:09
Ospray will get a big push, but has everybody got a big pushes came
11:13
over? Well, there's been other guys. We've had a lot of these
11:16
crossover matches, and most of the New Japan guys don't win in AW or
11:24
you know, it's just Minor's Suzuki. I think he's won like one match.
11:28
You know, Shabata got a belt, but then you know that's about
11:31
it. Like most of the guys from New Japan don't get that big push
11:35
towards the top of the car. So if I'm Okada, I would probably
11:39
play safe and stay where I know I'm beloved and welcomed and I don't have
11:43
to change anything. Yeah, I mean, I think his most likely spot
11:48
is New Japan and then dabbling in AW from time to time in twenty twenty
11:52
four. But when it comes to some of the New Japan stars, like
11:56
especially recently Ja, why will ost Bray all sign of the AW in twenty
12:01
twenty three, I would just like to see one big name from New Japan
12:07
go to W and see how it turns out like a current name. I'm
12:11
not obviously talking about Nakamora people that have been in New Japan in the past,
12:13
because there's been plenty, but like in this new regime of WWE with
12:18
Triple H, I would love to see how an Okada would would perform in
12:22
WA. And I think it is a little bit telling the direction of WA
12:26
based that Ospray and j White at least entertained W and their free agencies,
12:33
and I think they're probably doing that obviously for negotiation tactics, but it ultimately
12:37
went to AW, but at least they're considering W. I would be like
12:41
if Okada went to AW, I feel like it would be kind of normal.
12:46
But I would love to see Ocada in WW because I think there would
12:48
be more intrigued for me as a wrestling fan as to how he actually performs
12:52
in that spot. Yeah, I think out of everybody we've mentioned, Okada
12:58
does kind of fit the WWE style the best, Like he's a showman,
13:03
you know, from the entrance to the presentation to you know, he's not
13:07
a super crazy fast worker, like he works kind of a blend of a
13:13
New Japan WW sty He works very similar to shins k in a lot of
13:16
ways, so to me, him and even even tom of Hashi to an
13:22
extent, those two guys kind of fit the WW style better maybe than some
13:26
of the guys we've seen sign with AEW and you know, that may be
13:31
what they're looking at, Like who would actually kind of make that seamless transition,
13:35
Like Sean Michaels mentioned that we could plug and play into our system and
13:39
they can make an impact and we don't have to go through and basically kind
13:43
of retrain them into our style like you may have had to do with a
13:46
Kinta, which is kind of why hit Deo at Tommy kind of struggled speaking
13:52
in New Japan for wrestling, speaking of all Elite wrestling, there was a
13:54
big recent departure from AW last week Doctor Tred that I think you and I
13:58
both would say was startling from the front office and was actually a really entertaining
14:03
guy intelligence as well, and that was one qt Marshall. He reportedly will
14:09
be exiting out Reportedly he confirmed it on his Twitter. He is exiting AW,
14:13
and it's reportedly happening because they are starting to shift their focus as a
14:18
company. This comes to us from Wrestling Inc. However, there is more
14:22
to Marshall's decision to resign from AW than just not getting the wrestle as often.
14:26
He'd like the word out there that he wanted to wrestle more. Marshall
14:30
referenced AW quote heading in a different direction end quote in his initial statement,
14:35
and according to has of Wrestling, Marshall didn't see himself fitting with a shift.
14:41
Sources shared Marshall's belief that AW was operating more in the style of New
14:45
Japan par Wrestling, putting heavy emphasis on matches and wrestling and far less on
14:50
storylines and angles as a preferred taste of con That vision no longer aligned with
14:54
what Marshall thought the company should be doing. So obviously, Marshall comes from
14:58
the school I thought of still having some good matches, but also focusing on
15:03
storylines and angles, and we have seen that play out with AW. I
15:07
would say over the last couple of months on this entire thing. So a
15:11
recent departure like QT Marshall Doctor Trey opened the door for major changes. Where
15:18
do you stand on this? Do you stand in line with the current direction
15:22
of AW if it's more like New Japan Pro Wrestling with a heavy emphasis on
15:26
matches and wrestling far less on storylines and angles, or are you team QT
15:30
here where still strong matches but just as equally strong storylines and angles. I
15:37
mean, as my personal taste, I'm kind of on QT Sidier, Like
15:41
what got me into wrestling was not just the in ring stuff, but it
15:45
was the drama behind the scenes, like the storytelling, like why are these
15:48
two guys fighting other than just I want to prove I'm better than you,
15:52
Like if I want to watch that, I can watch UFC and they do
15:58
it quote unquote for real as opposed to, you know, a scripted storyline.
16:03
So I like the storytelling aspect because that's what got me invested as a
16:07
kid. It was the Von Erickson, the Freebirds, it was Dusty and
16:11
Flair, it was Hogan and Andrea, Like those storylines were what got me
16:17
into wrestling. You know. From another aspect of it, it's got to
16:19
be weird to be running, you know, the Nightmare Factory with its ties
16:23
to AW when the owner is now in WWE. So that's got to be
16:26
kind of awkward as well for a guy like QT who's the head trainer at
16:30
the Nightmare Factory. Yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying. Going
16:36
back to the direction of the company, I think when I look at how
16:40
the show was built heading into Wrestle Dream, AW was built heading into Wrestle
16:44
Dream that was very standard New Japan pro wrestling, not a lot of storylines,
16:48
not a lot of angles, but a really strong show from an in
16:51
ring standpoint professional wrestling. And it was a very solid show. It was
16:55
not like anything I was excited for going into it, and then looking at
16:59
Full Gear, there were some good storylines, good angles, good matches,
17:03
and I enjoyed Full Gear more than I enjoyed Wrestle Dream, and I thought
17:07
it was a very solid show for All Lee Wrestling. So I'm kind of
17:11
confused by the story because if you asked me back in mid October that this
17:15
is the direction that we're going on, be all on board. But here
17:18
we sit on September or December seventh, and I'm not convinced that AW is
17:22
fully following the model of New Japan. Yeah, I think what they're trying
17:27
to do is find that ballance. And I think you can use wwe like
17:33
on Raw kind of an example of what the balance kind of should be where
17:37
Look, we had a great match a few weeks between American Alpha and the
17:40
Green Brothers out of Nowhere, and there's no storyline, just hey, this
17:44
is their debut, their open challenge, let me see what they can do.
17:48
But we also have great storylines as well, and I think AW is
17:51
trying to balance the vision of the younger generation focusing on match quality with the
17:57
focus of like a Jericho or a Mode or some of those older guys that
18:00
like, no, we need some storylines as well. I think that's why
18:03
you have a guy like Brian Danielson to help guide it, because Danielson may
18:08
be the best blend of what we talk about with balancing great in ring work
18:14
with great storytelling. Over you know his career, he's a model for kind
18:18
of what you want a good show to be. Right now, Yeah,
18:22
I could, I could see Danielson being that way, but I don't know.
18:29
I don't know. I mean from a match standpoint, I could see
18:32
that. I don't know if I would trust Danielson with the entertainment side,
18:36
Doctor Trey. I gotta be honest, No, no, not completely.
18:37
But that's also why you have a Jericho there, but like you have those
18:41
voices in a room where he's kind of like if you take let's say,
18:45
let's take you know, the Young Bucks, just based on stereotype of what
18:48
they are. You have the Young Bucks, the newer generation, the flashy
18:53
moves, the indie style wrestling. Then you have a jericho who's more the
18:56
old school style of wrestling. Daniel Wilson kind of does land in the middle
19:00
of those two styles. So that way you can kind of make some match
19:06
a show where you have the great in ring matches that may not have a
19:10
build up, but then you can have the storyline matchups as well. And
19:11
that's kind of like I'm saying, like, that's kind of what we're seeing
19:14
on Monday Night Raw a lot of times, is hey, we got three
19:18
or four really good storylines running, but then hey we can throw in a
19:21
twenty minute match with no build up and still get you invested in it as
19:23
well. When Danielson is like an entertaining character. He is top notch,
19:30
I mean one of the best, I mean absolutely amazing team. He'll no
19:36
I think when it comes to like the way AW is being built right now
19:44
and where I'd like to see them go. I always remember this line from
19:48
Jim Ross where it's like I like mistake, but I also like my sizzle.
19:53
And you need a reason why you want to watch a professional arrest match,
20:00
especially for a pl E a pay per view, like where a conclusion
20:03
is coming up on a story, and that's where it usually took place,
20:06
was on the pl pay per view, and it still is that model today.
20:11
I feel like nowadays match quality is through the roof. You have a
20:18
show where if it's all the wrestling and there's nine to eleven matches like they
20:22
typically run out of nine to eleven matches will be high quality and you're gonna
20:29
find it very difficult to be like this match is flat out stung. They're
20:33
all very solid, good matches. Same thing with w W. There could
20:37
be five matches like at Wargames, seven matches like NXC Deadline on Saturday,
20:44
and it's very hard to find poor match quality. Nowadays, the in ring
20:48
stuff is amazing, so when you look at the equivalency on both sides of
20:52
in ring. That's great, But what do American fans Wrestling fans gravitate towards
21:00
words, Well, they were really behind the Bloodline storyline. They're really entertained
21:04
by the Judgment Day. They're intrigued as to how CM punk is going to
21:08
be portrayed on television, Randy Orton returning and sending his sights on the Bloodline.
21:15
They're intrigued by who is behind the Devil mask with MJF storyline right now.
21:21
I don't like thrown together, no nonsense matches. I like the Continental
21:26
Classic. There's a reason behind that. There's not an actual storyline other than
21:30
you've got twelve wrestlers battling it out to be crowned the first champion. I
21:36
don't like when all the wrestling like this past week's edition of Collision, where
21:40
there's just a bunch of these matches thrown together. They're standby matches that aw
21:45
was calling them. It comes off like a shitshell. I like New Japan.
21:52
I like their style of match quality, but their most popular size sig
22:00
ever was win The Bullet Club was tearing up stuff with Kenny Omega and the
22:04
Young Bucks, and they were doing a great job with merch sales and how
22:10
was that going on? Well, they were entertaining people on being the elite,
22:12
they were entertaining people at ROH, they were entertaining people on New Japan
22:18
shows. There was angles and storylines and feeling towards it. I just think
22:22
that to not have storylines and angles be a focus as equal to match quality,
22:30
Doctor Trey is not a strong business model. Yeah. I mean,
22:33
if you want to watch athletic competitions, you can find sports on any channel
22:38
and look. I enjoy a good tennis match occasionally, but when John McEnroe
22:45
was playing, or there's some how about Tiger Woods and golf, Tiger Woods
22:49
in golf, if there's an intrigue into storyline. I always told people like,
22:52
I'm not a big UFC guy, but I was when Chuck Lendell,
22:56
Tito Ortiz and Rampage Jackson were there because those guys could entertain me leading into
23:02
a fight. So you need that extra layer. Like people forget that.
23:06
Yes, wrestling is an at it should be athletic endeavor, but it's a
23:11
television show. You have to still give me a reason to tune in the
23:15
following week. I mean, I thought the ending to Raw this past week
23:18
was great because now I want to see what happens next week with the fallout
23:22
from Drew McIntyre taking out Jay Husso and seth Rawlins. I want to see
23:26
what Cmpu's gonna say next. I want to see who the next guy to
23:30
step up to Gunther is. Like those are things I want to see,
23:33
and those are storylines, and the match quality is great, but it's still
23:37
the storyline that intrigues me, because, like I said, you can watch
23:41
tennis, golf, baseball, like, look, you and I love baseball,
23:45
and I can watch an Astros Twins game and be like, Okay,
23:49
it's good. It's a good baseball game. But if you give me a
23:52
reason to watch, like oh, it's actually Game seven of the ALCS,
23:57
now, there's an extra layer of intrig to it, and you probably good
24:00
point with the Continental Classic, like I can watch that and I don't need
24:03
storylines for why these two guys are fighting, because the ultimate prize is why
24:07
they're fighting. And I think that's one thing AW has done poorly over its
24:12
four years is the prestige of each title. Now, if you don't have
24:17
a storyline. At least the title is prestigious because there's just kind of too
24:21
many titles. Yeah, I'm I'm yeah, I mean adding another championship.
24:26
I mean I thought about this the other day during the Continental Classic because I
24:29
was watching Collision and I really like what they're doing the Continental Classic. But
24:32
it's like in WWE, I know what the secondary title is to the World
24:37
Championship, and that's Inner Continental, that's the United States. I have no
24:38
fucking clue what is an AW I mean, I thought it was the International
24:42
Championship. I was I saying, did you know there's a Ring of Ter
24:45
TV title tournament going on right now? Uh? Is it just on ROH
24:49
Television? I guess So I saw somebody mentioned there day. I was like,
24:55
I didn't even they haven't even talked about it on any of the show.
24:57
I mean, Joe dropped the championship. I would imagine it's just strictly
25:00
on rh So, I mean again, I can't I can't watch r OH.
25:04
I mean I would, I would be divorced at this point. So,
25:07
but so, at the end of this tournament, there's going to be
25:12
a Continental champions So they're the champion of just our continents or all the contents.
25:19
Yeah, I mean, what's the difference between that championship and the international
25:25
And then what's the difference between that and TNT title. I mean, I
25:27
don't know what their second in command title is. I mean, everybody just
25:33
as a championship, it's it's way too much. And then not only that,
25:36
but then you're compared. You're adding it along the same lineage as the
25:40
ROH World Championship and the New Japan Strong open Weight Championship, which to me,
25:45
the ROH World Title at one time, I mean, this could be
25:48
a show in itself, was one of the most prestigious championships in all of
25:51
wrestling in the when they like first launched the first ten years of ROH Like
25:56
that was a big deal when a title changed hands in ROA. And now
26:00
it's just being added as a world title as part of a triple crown.
26:04
Like cool, you're bringing it back a triple crown idea, But you're just
26:10
I don't know, like that's just crazy to me. The ROH World Championship
26:11
is not on the same level as the Continental title. It's also not on
26:15
the same level as the New Japan Strong open Weight Championship. But yeah,
26:21
we're getting off on a little bit of a tangent. But then again,
26:22
I mean again, if QT Marshall left AW because of the direction that's changing,
26:29
it's it's not a direction that I would love because I could see great
26:32
match quality anywhere. You gotta have some sizzles to that stake as well,
26:37
and getting me involved as to why I want to see this match is big.
26:41
I mean, take the Hangman Page Swart Strickling match. That feud has
26:45
been so like Short and Doctor Trey and I in recapping Full Gear, we're
26:49
literally talking about is this a Feud of the Year candidate? And it's been
26:53
going on for maybe two and a half months at best. That's how good
26:57
the feud has been. And why people really involved in that Texas Death match
27:02
at Full Gear outside of the spots leading into it, it meant something and
27:06
that's what you want as a professional wrestling fan is you get the great match.
27:10
But it's got to mean something. So we'll see, we'll see what
27:12
the direction is a big change there in All Elite Wrestling with QT Marshall leaving
27:21
the company here in the coming weeks or basically wrapping up or he has wrapped
27:25
up. I think he was closing out in the end of this month from
27:27
All Lead Wrestling. Where he ends up next is anybody's guests. If I
27:30
had a guess w W, I know MLW Major League Wrestling is very interesting
27:36
and well as well. But I think if i'm WW, you go grab
27:41
QT Marshall and you listen to Cody rhoad is telling you about signing him keeping
27:45
with All Lait Wrestling, Doctor Trey. There is a report out there that
27:48
backstage in AW there is negative negativity from those in and around All Lead Wrestling
27:56
right now. The story comes to us from Has of Wrestling this past Saturday
28:00
and i AW present in its latest episode of Collision, taking place from the
28:03
Erie Insurance aren in Eerie, Pennsylvania. According to wrestle Tics, the venue
28:06
was equipped to seat twenty four hundred and seventy four fans and only fell short
28:10
of that goal by two hundred and sixteen tickets. The source for all Things
28:14
Pro Wrestling and Tennis Numbers added later that based on photos they gathered from the
28:18
event they asked meant they were likely closer to seventeen hundred or eighteen hundred fans
28:22
on the most recent Wrestling Server Radio this week, Dave Mountser revealed that he
28:26
has received negative feedback about aw from people in and around the promotion. One
28:30
of the reasons for the negativity given to him was the poor crowd that he
28:33
drew for Collision this past weekend. It was noted that the company's currently grossing
28:37
a lot of money, but many so question how much profit is being made.
28:41
So there's a lot of discussions right now around negativity, around in and
28:47
around all the wrestling. Doctor Trey, I am watching Collision, but I'm
28:52
telling you what, it's very hard to I don't know if you are Doctor
28:55
Trey, but it has went from a show over the summer that I really
28:59
enjoy and it was a great watch and a great equal to Dynamite, to
29:03
basically another hour of rampage. They had three strong matches for the Continental Classic
29:11
on this most recent edition of Collision, and then the rest of the episode
29:15
was basically filled by what they were calling these standby matches. Whether it was
29:19
like Kip Sabian versus Lho Delva Kingo, which is a great match but had
29:26
no meaning behind it at all. It was like a complete felt like a
29:30
waste of a watch, which is not a good trend. And then for
29:34
me as a viewer at home, I have noticed on television that the attendance
29:38
for collision has been very poor. It's very noticeable in certain camera shots.
29:44
To do a good job of hiding it up. I hate to take shots
29:47
at them for but it is very noticeable. There was a show in Utah,
29:49
I think Salt Lake City a couple months ago, maybe a month or
29:53
two ago, now what was Adam Copan was involved, so maybe early October,
29:59
and it it was very noticeable that there were a lot of empty seats
30:03
and it was brutal negativity surrounding all elite wrestling right now, Doctor Trey,
30:08
I guess even with cmpunk gone, people are still being negative behind the scenes.
30:14
Yeah. I mean I literally thought that see them Punk was the cause
30:18
of all their problems. That's what I was always told, like, Punk
30:21
is the reason why they were Everybody was unhappy and negative, and you know,
30:25
it is one of those things where it feels like an episode of Family
30:30
Guy sometimes. And when I say that, there's a great reference on South
30:34
Park back of the day about how the Family Guy writers right, and they
30:37
basically just kind of let these uh, random thought bubbles populated, So I
30:41
think it's fish like certain fishes eat that. Yet we're going with that one.
30:45
That one in that one's almost like it's almost like mad lips if you
30:48
wear mad lips, like throwing that random noun and a verb, and we'll
30:51
just go with that. Like I think they do put a decent job of
30:56
trying to focus on their top talent. But if you're not one of the
31:00
shiny toys and Tony Kahan's toy chests, like you kind of get thrown by
31:06
to the wayside, and whether it's stand by matches or you know, the
31:11
final, the final or the zero hour matches on a on a pay per
31:15
view that don't make sense, but hey, we're paying you, so we
31:18
gotta have you work a match every so often. It just does kind of
31:22
feel like it's a little bit all over the place like it it does doesn't
31:25
feel like it's an organized, cohesive unit. And you know, I tell
31:29
the reporting, like you know, their wonder gut they're actually making a profit.
31:30
I don't know how they're making money. I really don't. I mean
31:34
unless they say they are about one hundred and seventy and eighty million in the
31:38
Green this year. That's what I read, I believe. I mean,
31:41
unless Warner and that Warner Brothers Discovery Media is paying them really good for their
31:47
TV rights. I just I don't see it. Like their merchandise is okay.
31:53
But like when I go out in public, I see LA Night shirts,
31:57
I'll see your Roman Race shirts. I don't see an MJF shirt.
32:01
I have never seen anybody wear an MJF shirt out in public. I've never
32:05
seen anybody wear a Kenny Omega shirt out in public. You know, maybe
32:09
a couple of Bullet Club shirts, but those kind of came from New Japan.
32:13
Like you just don't see the merchandise out there. Like luckily they have
32:16
their toy sales, but and they're really pushing that there. There's a season
32:22
two pass to download for their AEW game, which I didn't even buy,
32:27
and I buy almost every wrestling game ever. So I just don't know where
32:30
they're making their money at because it can't be just off. Maybe it's pay
32:35
per view buys and the numbers are better than you and I think they are,
32:38
but I just don't know how they say that, Hey, we made
32:40
one hundred and eighty million dollars with a roster as large as it is and
32:45
without a huge other stream coming in. I don't know if their international media
32:51
sales are better than we think as well. Maybe that's where it's coming from,
32:54
and maybe they just have a bigger overseas market than we think. So
33:01
all In welln't believe. End of August, as we all know, broke
33:05
attendance records and then six weeks later in Salt Lake City, they could barely
33:08
fill an arena for Collision. That is very concerning. I think a lot
33:15
of people were very excited and hyped up for all In and made a point
33:17
to go there, and it makes a ton of sense for the first one
33:20
and to break the record be there aw on this grand stage, and I'm
33:23
all for it. This upcoming all In in twenty twenty four August twenty twenty
33:30
four is going to be a very big deal because how many seats do they
33:34
fill this go around? If they fill sixty thousand seats instead of eighty thousands,
33:39
is that, you know, is that a loss for them? I
33:44
still at sixty thousand fucking people still be a letdown because that'd be like,
33:49
you know, that's like we did WrestleMania one year in Arlington and came back
33:52
a couple years later. If they were like, hey, our attendance is
33:55
thirty thousand lessons than it was three years ago, huge hit. Well.
34:00
I saw that the seating chart for all In, and I think they're chalking
34:06
this up to literally Taylor Swift performing in Wembley like either the next day or
34:10
a couple days later. It is not the same stage. It's considerably different.
34:16
Like I think that the way that the chart was released, my investigative
34:22
work is telling them that they're kind of a bigger stage for this one,
34:25
rather than the stage where they just kind of like what WWE has been doing
34:29
laid lately, with a bunch of LEDs on like the side of the stands,
34:31
and they're coming through the backstage area, so the nobody is being blocked
34:35
behind them and you could sell as many seats as possible, which is very
34:38
logical thinking. It seems like this is going to be more of like the
34:44
normal typical stages that you see at Dynamiter Collision where people behind the stage obviously
34:49
aren't going to be seated, and I think it's going to be all In,
34:51
so I would expect as of right now, unless there's like a huge
34:53
demand for the tickets that it will be less seats. Tony Con said on
34:59
the first day of sale that they grossed over four million dollars, which is
35:01
phenomenal. But you know, as an aw fan, I can tell you
35:07
right now they've done some shows near by me that I haven't been interested in
35:12
going to, like they've did the first time they brought Dynamite up to my
35:15
neck of the woods for the first time, I immediately went enjoyed the show,
35:20
was very excited for it. They've come up here since, and there's
35:22
really nothing that gets me excited for There are a stretch of weeks that I'm
35:28
really into what they're doing in Ellite Wrestling, and then there's this period of
35:31
time like with Collision and even Rampage beforehand, I was like, man,
35:35
what the fuck did I just watch? Like if you get to a point
35:38
where like this is how I was with w while we were doing this podcast
35:43
in the early twenty tens. I would watch just raw and I think I
35:46
even said it on the show, and I would not watch SmackDown because SmackDown
35:51
was a total waste of time. Obviously it's changed, it has since changed,
35:55
but Dynamite to me, is not a waste of time. You and
36:00
I are recording this shortly before Dynamite goes on the air. I'll go sit
36:02
down and watch Dynamite. It will probably be a phenomenal show. But I
36:06
will really think to myself at the end of Rampage on Friday night whenever I
36:10
watch it, and Saturday with Collision, like should I be watching these shows?
36:15
I literally thought that Doctor Trey watching Collision this past week. That was
36:19
I don't know if you saw it, but it was not a good episode
36:22
of Collision. Yeah I watched. I didn't watch it live because it just
36:24
family and every things. I usually watch it when I'm traveling and throw it
36:28
on the throat on the phone and or throw on the iPad and watch it
36:30
back that way. But yeah, there are times that reminds me. I
36:35
won't say the end of w c W bad, but it does remind me
36:38
of those SmackDown days with like Nathan Jones where you're like, what the why
36:44
am I? What am I doing? Why am I here? Like Chuck
36:46
Palumbo's restling brock lesnar in the main event, Like why am I? Why
36:50
am I watching this? Like this is just ridiculous to me? So yeah,
36:53
it does have some Like like you said, Dynamite's been a really consistently
36:59
good show, Like there are episodes, obviously they're a little worse than others,
37:01
but yeah, like, and I hate saying it, but ever since
37:05
Punk kind of left the company, Collision has fallen way down. Rampage is
37:10
just I can't watch Rampage, Like there's nothing redeemable about for me to watch
37:15
Rampage. I haven't watched a Rampage episode like six months. There's no reason
37:19
to. Yeah, that's sad. Yeah, and then you're just you know,
37:22
then it's I'm also like, you're just stealing discoveries of money with Rampage.
37:27
But Collisions started off really, really good, and I've checked it out
37:30
a couple of times because everybody kept telling me that it was really good,
37:32
and so I started watching it a little more consistently. And then, like
37:37
you said, like I have episodes whre, I'm like, well that was
37:38
a waste, Like the show accomplished nothing in this past week with Collision,
37:45
Like the three matches of the Condos class, I'm like, hey, these
37:46
are really good, but then I'm sitting through these other matchs. I'm like,
37:50
I I can't remember the last time I saw Kip saying it on TV.
37:52
Yeah, but let alone in a match with you know, this match,
37:57
if you had a decent cruiserweight or mid card idol that made sense and
38:00
you're like hel He the KINGO and kids say they are challenging for the aw
38:07
cruiserweight title. Man, I can I can watch that, But just to
38:10
have a throwaway match like that, it's just it also diminishes what you think
38:15
of those people in the eyes of your fan. If you call it,
38:17
oh, this is just a standby match, well, now the crowd,
38:21
now your audience goes, oh, these guys aren't even worth beinging a storyline,
38:24
so now you got to rebuild them back up if you ever want to
38:28
invest in them again. Is just poor decision making booking process for some of
38:32
these lower tier guys, and it just makes it just like you said it,
38:37
Like, if you tell me it's a standby match, it's like me
38:39
watching a double a baseball game for fun, Like, okay, great,
38:44
somebody might do something four years from now. Great, I can say I
38:47
saw Anderson, Oh who's the guy? Blah blah bah bah Jorge Solaire,
38:53
I saw Jorge Solaire in double A baseball here in Huntsville. Yay, that's
38:59
kind of what it. The equivalent for me is so back to your One
39:04
of your points you made there earlier was like the roster and not getting enough
39:07
TV time. Aly Wrestling probably has more wrestlers on a contract. Th wa
39:13
Is that fair to say? If you count an XT, I would say
39:19
it's probably the same, but eight you might have a few. I think
39:22
if you count all everybody, it's about equal. So I think they have
39:29
a major problem because of the amount of championships they have, the amount of
39:32
wrestlers that they have that there are a lot of good talent that aren't getting
39:37
enough TV time. Keep saving bringing him up as an example again is one
39:40
of them. Miro comes and goes as the storyline is focused on or not.
39:50
It's often confusing. It's it's strange the way that they book things.
39:58
It I can understand and why there's negativity if I'm a wrestler and I'm back
40:02
stage and aw and I'm not being used again because it's like just wasting my
40:07
career. Why I just thought of this. So we watched the last the
40:10
last pay per view, and they had the really good matching Buddy Murphy and
40:15
Claudio, and they had previously had the tag Magic with Claudio and Wheeler against
40:21
Buddy, and I think it was was it Malachi or Brody in that match,
40:24
but they were teasing, hey, this you know the House of Black
40:29
and in Blackpool Combat Club they're one and one, and then what do they
40:32
do coming out of it? Nothing? House of Blacks transitioning to FTR and
40:38
three members of the Blackpool Combat Club are in the tournament. It's like,
40:43
are they thinking storylines even more than a month or two ahead or is it
40:47
that's It's stuff like that that drives me nuts because I thought they were setting
40:52
up a few between Blackpool Combat Club and House of Black, which signed me
40:57
up for that. And then they don't go that way. They et and
41:00
go a completely different direction, and then you have the great rivalry with Swerve
41:05
and Hangman, but now serves in this tournament where there can be no outside
41:07
interference. So I think in that instance, I think that Daniel Brian's Brian
41:15
Danielson eye injury caused that storyline to be shoved because remember they were like coming
41:19
the A to FTR. Yeah, but couldn't you still do like could you
41:22
take Moxley and Claudia out of this tournament, put two other people in there
41:28
and still do Moxley, Claudio and the Judah against the House of Black.
41:31
I think they were trying to get towards Danielson and Alice a Black. Yeah,
41:37
but then you can have you guys. I know they could have.
41:38
But yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you on a lot of this
41:43
there. I mean, how many storylines do we see stop and go?
41:45
I mean it's been weeks since that whole CJ. Perry storyline with you know,
41:52
representing your clients with Andrede l Edelo and Miro. I don't know if
41:54
there was injuries or people not being a television or whatever, but like it
42:00
was two three weeks ago, and then it was brought back up again that
42:02
Miro won't touch on Drada and I was like, man, I kind of
42:06
forgot about this, and that happens often with aw like even with the Golden
42:10
Jets and the don Kallis family, Like, why is that on pause right
42:14
now? Well, and then you invest money in CJ. Perry, you
42:17
align with Ondrade, and then you stick in Drade in a tournament where he
42:21
can't have a manager at ringside. Yeah, yeah, I know she actually
42:24
stood by ringside her a little bit too long this past Saturday's collision. Actually
42:28
the referee to tell her to go to the back. I don't know if
42:30
she actually knew that. You know, there's been a period of time too
42:35
where Tony Kahn just another thing they were really booking the hell out of.
42:37
Kyle Fletcher was very extremely talented. He eventually sides with Don Kallis, and
42:43
Don Kallis had this line of like I want to mentor you you're gonna be
42:45
my protege, and they've done like nothing to follow up on that, and
42:51
I don't think that's a line that Don Kallis says on television if it wasn't
42:54
meant to do something on TV. So I don't know. We can we
43:00
can go back and forth about this for a long time on the way that
43:06
they're booking, but there is support reportedly negativity and turmoil again in and around
43:13
All Lead Wrestling right now. It's a shame because they're getting ready for the
43:16
five year anniversary, which is insane of their launch. I think was on
43:21
New Year's Day on Being the Elite that aaw was announced as a promotion and
43:25
they wrapped up with The Wrestler Kingdom shortly thereafter. Then they had the launch
43:29
stuff in February in Las Vegas and then had Double or Nothing their first show
43:34
where Moxley debuted in May twenty nineteen. So it's all coming up on five
43:37
years, and I think all in all, Doctor Trey as a business I
43:42
still like AW. I'm an AW fan, but the luster is and the
43:46
shine has certainly come off a little bit by AW because the way that they
43:50
booked themselves, and like the confusing nature of their storylines, the confusing nature
43:54
of why so many titles, the confusing nature of like what the fuck is
43:59
Ring of on Herd at this point? Like really, like what are we
44:02
doing? Like what is ro oh all in all like? And who's an
44:06
RH wrestler, Who's an AW wrestler. It's it's just all confusing, and
44:10
I think that falls at the feet of Tony Kahn. Ultimately, it does
44:14
fall the feet of Tony kh I think if you graded it as Hey as
44:19
a wrestling company, how is there a ring product five years in their Their
44:22
in ring product is great, they have phenomenal matches all the time. But
44:25
if you look as like, how is it as a wrestling company, I
44:30
would say, you know, be minus, you know, probably I don't.
44:34
I think they're above average, but I don't think they're as close to
44:37
WWE as I think they want to think. I think they're better than what
44:40
impact TNA wants back in the day, you know, so at least they
44:45
have that. But really, I mean for a five year old company,
44:49
they were going to have growing pains. They're going to have issues, They're
44:51
going to have organizational issues because what happens is the same thing that happens with
44:54
my company, is they go, we grew too fast and don't have the
44:58
right infrastructure. Then you'res trying to play catch up with the infrastructure while still
45:02
growing a brand, and you start falling behind. It's really hard to catch
45:06
up. I think that's what they're running into right now more than anything else.
45:08
Yeah, it's strange, strange, trained stuff with all the wrestler right
45:13
now, but again, more negativity surrounding. I read a report tonight going
45:16
to the show that I guess if wrestlers complain about the company and where they're
45:21
being booked on social media now. Brian Danielson, as part of the Disciplinary
45:24
Committee, has the authority to find them, and he has already find multiple
45:30
people. So I don't know if I agree with that, but I guess
45:34
you should keep things tight lift in aw but finding people for social media,
45:38
maybe just teach them to be professional. I guess maybe they have, maybe
45:42
they have tried. Nonetheless, NXC Deadline preview predictions this Saturday from the Total
45:46
Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the final WWE show for the Ples in
45:54
twenty twenty three. Let's get to the pre show match here. Doctor Trey
45:58
Axim versus Nathan Fraser was supposed to take place on Tuesday's edition of man X
46:01
Television. It was interrupted by the women involved in the Women's Irons Harber Challenge
46:07
match. I'm gonna go with the axiom this going around, Doctor Trey.
46:13
I know I'm way behind you, so I gotta play contrarian on a few
46:16
of these. So I'm gonna take Nathan Fraser because I think this might be
46:19
a Nathan Fraser heel turn. So I'll take Nathan Fraser. Next match is
46:23
Carmelo Hayes taken on Lexus King. Uh. If you had told me a
46:30
year ago this would be a match at XT, I would have told you
46:32
you're out of your mind. And I love Brian Pilder like he's one of
46:35
my favorite people I know. So I am taking Lexus King getting the upset
46:39
win heres because I think you're you've booked him really strong. I think he's
46:44
got to steal a victory to kind of give that credibility why he's already in
46:49
the main event picture. So I'll take a Lexus King. We've seen a
46:52
couple l's lately from Carmelo Hayes. I think that continues as well. I
46:55
am taking Lexus King on Saturday, uh steel Cage Mac with Roxanne Perez taking
47:00
on Keana James. This has been a decent feud played out on NXC television.
47:06
I'm interested to see how this match plays out in a steel cage.
47:09
I'm going to go with Kana James to get the victory or Doctor Trey.
47:14
Yeah, I would probably there, but once again, I'm an play contrarian
47:16
just because I'm behind. So I'm gonna take Roxanne because you got her.
47:21
She's a former NAC Women's champion and they haven't done much since she lost the
47:25
belt, So I think you gotta give a little bit of love back to
47:29
the original Prodigy Roxanmperez. Next match year is Dirty Domisterio taking on Dragon Lee
47:34
for the NXC North American Championship. Unfortunate news as this was supposed to be
47:37
wes Lee in the match, challenging and I would have him getting the victory.
47:42
He is out with an injury, a back injury. I guess he
47:45
needs back surgery and he'll be out for eight to twelve months recordedly. That
47:49
is a huge bumber because wes Lee has been a really big breakouts on the
47:53
NXC brand. Doctor Trey, who do you like in this one? In
47:55
the NXC North American Championhip match? Do you think they just said, oh
48:00
damn west Lee's out, Can we get Dragon Lee? Because at least then
48:02
we don't have really change we like they have to change like half the name
48:06
plate on the introductions. I don't know, it's always possible. This one's
48:09
tricky for me just because of the stuff going on with Dragon Lee and Santo's
48:15
Escobar and the LWO and Ray and then there's dom I think the injury changes
48:21
the plans. I think dom retains. I'll take Dominic Masterira retaining the title
48:24
right now. Yeah, I like you, Doctor Trey Am taking Dirty Dom
48:29
to win this one. I think Santos Escobar gets involved to further that storyline
48:32
with Dragon Lee and Ray Mysterio. Ray Masterio will be in the corner of
48:36
Dragon Lee on Saturday, and I think he helps Dirty Dom retain over Dragon
48:40
Lee. Next match here. I really enjoyed these matches a year ago,
48:45
so I'm excited to see them take place again. It's the Men's Iron Survivor
48:47
Challenge match. You have die Jack, Trick Williams, Josh Briggs, bron
48:52
Breaker, and Tyler Bate all in this match. The winner just becomes the
48:55
number one contender to the nc Championship. I'm having a real tough time I'm
49:00
picking this one. They had Tyler Bait standing tall at the end of NXC
49:02
this past week. I think de Jack has a feud in place with Eddie
49:07
Thorpe. Trick Williams has a potential feud with either Carmelo Hayes and or Lexis
49:13
King. I think Josh Briggs could be a winner here, bron Breaker could
49:15
be a winner here, Tyler Bait could be a Bringer here. Winner here.
49:20
I'm gonna take bron Breaker to get the victory, though, I think
49:22
we're gonna go to bron Breaker versus Elia Dragonoff rather soon, Doctor Trice.
49:27
I'm taking the badass bron Breaker. Yeah. I've gone back and forth because
49:30
last year Waller won, nobody expected that, so I'm kind of and then
49:35
I always kind of play off of the the champions at baby Face, So
49:38
you kind of want to pick a heel just because storyline wise it makes sense.
49:42
So you know, for me, it came down to it came out
49:45
of die Jack Breaker and breaks. It is because Briggs was the most odd
49:49
person thrown into this match. Damn. I want to pick against you,
49:53
but I think I'm a lean bron Breaker also because you kind of got to
49:57
re establish braun given like kind you guys ask kick by von Wagner a few
50:00
weeks ago, so you've got to re establish a broad breaker if you're gonna
50:05
move him up or whatever we do with him. So I'll take Breaker getting
50:07
the win as well. Next match here is the Women's Honors and Arbor Challenge
50:10
to the determined the number one contender for the NXC Women's Championship. You've got
50:14
Tiffany Stratton, Lash Legend, Blair Davenport, Klannie Jordan and Fallon Henley,
50:19
Doctor Trey, Who do you likeing this one? This one's hard for me
50:22
because I really want to pick Tiffany Stratton just because I think Tiffany Stratton and
50:27
uh William Valkyrie. I can't. I can't say hurt. I can't lie
50:30
of Valkyrie Lion Valkyrie. Usually I'm the one I have in trouble with names.
50:32
I know, right, I think I'm gonna take Blair Davenport, though
50:37
I think that she's come along really well, So I'm gonna take Blair getting
50:39
the surprise he win it this one. I'm gonna take Tiffany Stratton to get
50:44
the victory here. Another easy pick or safe pick, I should say,
50:47
But I do feel like they're gonna go in the direction of Tiffany versus Lia
50:51
Valkyria going forward here in twenty twenty four, and then finally for the NXC
50:57
Championship of Elia Dragonoff defending again, it's Baron Corbyn, doctor Trey. I'm
51:00
gonna take Elia dragon Off to retain. I really want to pig Baron Corbin.
51:06
I really want to thee Baron getna win here. But yeah, I'm
51:08
with you. I think they're gonna keep the belts on Ilia because I think
51:12
Ili and Brown's gonna be a great match as well. So I'll tell you
51:15
Ilia Dragon now getting a win. So there you go. There's our previewing
51:17
