Latest / Ignition - an AEW Podcast / AEW Discussion | Hologram, Vaquer and Owen Hart Cup Finals
Transcript
- 0:07It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for ignition with the
- 0:11aw Fat podcast team. This is Kelson, this is Alex and the first
- 0:17thing I wanted to talk about today. It's not a big story, but
- 0:21it is a story. And basically we had Conan on his podcast and I
- 0:27did God's work actually listening to the clip instead of just reading the headline.
- 0:35Heart Yes, I got to listen to my favorite Disco Inferno and his cutting
- 0:43commentary on the wrestling industry. You are said that sarcastically though, right,
- 0:48Yes, Okay, I just want to go ahead like Conan, at least
- 0:54he's He's to my understanding, is like a legend in Mexico. I don't
- 1:00think anyone would say that about Disco Inferno in America anyways. So basically Conan
- 1:07and Tony Khan had a working relationship. Keny Omega wrestled in Triple A.
- 1:14Conan as the booker for Triple A was sending guys like Alhi od Bi,
- 1:19Kingo and Commander to ae W. So they've had a working relationship, and
- 1:26I guess ty Kanti was being lent out from Tony Khan to Conan and Triple
- 1:32A and for whatever reason, Tony Khan had to use her on an aw
- 1:38show, so couldn't sent her over to Triple A for a date. And
- 1:42this was back in when like twenty twenty two, right, yeah, this
- 1:46was years ago, I mean co Yeah, I think that makes sense.
- 1:53It was definitely not twenty twenty. That was definitely during COVID. It was
- 1:59during COVID. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, So basically Conan didn't want
- 2:07to refer to tay Kanti by name and instead referred to her as some check,
- 2:10like, oh, Tony Khan is gonna lend me some check and then
- 2:15couldn't. And Tony Khan, I think, rightfully, I mean not that
- 2:20some chick is necessarily offensive, but calling tay Kanti some chick as the leader
- 2:27of Triple A Wrestling is pretty pretty unprofessional as a minimum, right, absolutely,
- 2:36And to me, what's interesting about this story is more that it shows
- 2:42Tony Khan kind of from a different angle than what we have been conditioned to
- 2:46think of Tony Khan in terms of him sitting next to Cmpunk as CM Punk
- 2:53goes off on his tangents during that horrible press conference, and this is kind
- 3:00of a different side of Tony Khan where he's actually standing up for female talent.
- 3:05He's confronting longtime veterans and professional wrestling, you know, pseudo legends.
- 3:15So that's why I think that this story is interesting to me, and I'm
- 3:17wondering, Yeah, Kelson, what you think or the other guys. Yeah,
- 3:23I mean, look, thumb chick was not professional as you said.
- 3:28Yeah, I'm kind of one of those people that I don't refer to the
- 3:36women wrestlers in any wrestling company as girls, even I kind of I'm uncomfortable
- 3:40with that. That just me personally. I don't like when somebody calls them
- 3:45girls, even though it all due respect and admitting this, when you see
- 3:52men's wrestlers doing a promo for me, a w in the ring, they
- 3:55will say the guys and the girls in the back, you know, so
- 4:00thy say, I'm just saying, as far as me, I am not
- 4:04a fan of that. But I don't think that if it's said in a
- 4:11using girls the term girls in a non you know, biased or a means
- 4:18of as a way of ridiculing a woman or female wrestler, then I don't
- 4:27really really see anything wrong with that. However, some chick, no,
- 4:33I don't think that that was right, And to me, it's water under
- 4:39the bridge. It happened in twenty twenty two during COVID, Tony Kahan said
- 4:45that the reason why he could not send Taei Kanti, which I mean that
- 4:49was so long ago she was still Kanti. The reason he didn't send te
- 4:54Kanti was because the wrestler was supposed to wrestle for the show that he had
- 4:58already booked couldn't do it due to COVID, So he had to bring back
- 5:02what he could now would have happened today. If it would have happened today,
- 5:08then you would have had probably more women in the locker room that he
- 5:12could have called on that were healthy, cleared, have been tested, et
- 5:15cetera. But back then, you don't know how it was working. And
- 5:20so I could kind of understand why Tony had to pull take Anti back.
- 5:27But and I can kind of understand why Conan didn't say her name, but
- 5:35I had the same token. I don't, you know, I don't quite
- 5:39agree with her calling him, calling take Anty some chick. That's my opinion.
- 5:47Yeah, and I think, yeah, kudos to Tony conference standing up
- 5:51to Conan. And I guess that It's interesting because now we've seen cmll and
- 5:59and a W have this pretty strong partnership, and it's clearly, you know,
- 6:04the Triple A partnership seems to be done. Yeah. Yeah, like
- 6:14even the Lutri Bros. Seemed to have distanced themselves from Triple A. Yeah
- 6:20absolutely. I mean, Ray Phoenix just had a whole thing going with him
- 6:26that he couldn't wrestle, you know, due to Triple A. So we'll
- 6:32see, you know, I mean, look at uh uh who was it
- 6:38that wrestled? Was it? I can't remember who had to wrestle on Uh
- 6:43who wrestled g F on TV with the with the no commercial break was No,
- 6:49it wasn't it was no. Was it Rouge that was because that was
- 6:56because of Triple A something going on there. So but anyway, let's get
- 7:02the other guy's opinions on this this uh matter, Maybe they can land some
- 7:08other thoughts. So so here's my thoughts. What the hell does it matter
- 7:14now? I mean something two years ago is that the most that did I
- 7:17mean is Conan's podcast got to the point where he's got to bring up stuff
- 7:20from two three years ago. That makes absolutely, I mean slow news Week,
- 7:27but I guess. I mean, you know, you've got what I
- 7:31mean. That just don't make any sense to me. And honestly, there
- 7:35this is not the first bad thing. Like a lot of the trouble they
- 7:40were having with U, Triple A and guys in the past was the fact
- 7:45that Triple A and New Japan didn't get along and they couldn't have certain guys
- 7:50work on certain shows if New Japan was going to be there because New Japan
- 7:55worked with the other company in Mexico, so they weren't. I don't kind
- 8:01of like what happened with Rossi Agawa and Stardom when Rossi got out that all
- 8:05of a sudden started became available to work with a W and vice versa.
- 8:09Yeah, and and and and and that's that's all that tells me that there's
- 8:15a problem with Conan. But then again, he's hanging out with Disco Inferno,
- 8:18so you already know what the problem is there. So yeah, I
- 8:20I don't know. Like I said, it's kind of ridiculous that they're bringing
- 8:24this up now, And uh, I think Tony handled it right. They're
- 8:28calling her some chick. This just that that's just stupid that don't make any
- 8:35sense. At all. Why you wouldn't want to say her name. Yeah,
- 8:37it's kind of well, I can understand that saying her name, but
- 8:39you say the woman that was was scheduled the rest Russell won't be able to
- 8:43appear, not some chick. That's not like here. Not long ago they
- 8:48were supposed to have I think it was Triple A, uh, not Ray,
- 8:54but his brother Penth was supposed to go down and Wreussell and it ended
- 8:58up getting chant because of something that he had. He had to be available
- 9:03for a match, and it was you know, they mentioned that it was
- 9:07he was. They were upset because it was. They said, Penton,
- 9:11what's the difference. Why are you going to say a guy's name if they're
- 9:13pulling him and not the girl's name. That makes no sense. I will
- 9:16say this, and you could agree with me or dot agree with me.
- 9:20But I honestly believe, you know, and I really do believe this that
- 9:26even in a private conversation somewhere, I find it hard to believe that Tony
- 9:30Kahan would ever use the term some chick. And I really do feel the
- 9:33same way about Triple H. I don't think that he would use the term
- 9:37some chick. No, you know Fitts McMahon, Well, we won't go
- 9:46enough time to go there, but no, I mean it's it comes down
- 9:50to Conan. I think Conan likes the story of trouble wherever he gets a
- 9:56chance, and I think that that this goes the same way. They make
- 10:03a perfect pair that way. They're always looking to cause some kind of issue
- 10:05about something, whether it's an issue to be had or not. And I
- 10:11don't know. After two years, I'm like, man, you really must
- 10:13not have anything to talk about. What about YOUBK, do you have anything
- 10:20on this? Uh? I'm not defending Conan here, but the way he
- 10:26kind of talks, I can see him using that that verbiage. Yes,
- 10:31it is kind of dismiss dismissive, but I really, you know, this
- 10:37is, to me is something that I wouldn't even commented on. I would
- 10:41have would have done it on. I don't know how Tony reached out,
- 10:46but there are ways to do stuff, and I wouldn't have went full bore
- 10:48on it like he has. I said, it's water under the bridge,
- 10:52but it's not something that I that that piques my interest at all. So
- 11:00if I'm understanding you, you don't think that what Conan said was meant to
- 11:05be meant to be dismissive or meant to be a dig It was just kind
- 11:13of bread out of ignorance because he just didn't know better. That's the kind
- 11:18of thing you say different than anybody else. I don't know how to put
- 11:22that. Get the way he talks, and he's probably raised that way of
- 11:28talking like that, But I don't think it was meant malicious at all.
- 11:33That's fair enough, and I can see that point. That's a really good
- 11:37point, actually, So let's move on, because we did have something that
- 11:41kind of sort of broke. It's been tossed around saying no, and that
- 11:48is that that WWEE and a W have both offered Stephanie Voker a contract.
- 11:56Now, it's been argued that that is not the case, that she is
- 12:03signed with CMLL, but it has been pointed out also that CMLL is known
- 12:09to let wrestlers out of their contracts. But look, based on how Stephanie
- 12:20Vacker performed at Forbidden Door, that would be a huge get for aw It
- 12:26would be a huge get for WWE or any other company that signs Stephanie Vecker.
- 12:33So what do you guys think about Stephanie Vacker possibly leaving CMLL and going
- 12:41to WW or AWW. Look, this is an AW podcast, so obviously
- 12:46we would be probably biased towards AW. But I do think that she would
- 12:54be a superstar on w W E or W whichever one she goes to.
- 13:03So I'm curious to see what you guys think. So based on the one
- 13:07match that I have seen that she put on against Monette, she would be
- 13:15the tough stary in either company. On the women's side, She's amazing.
- 13:18She did an amazing job at the pay per view. The other thing I
- 13:24have an issue with is why if you work she's under contract to c MLLL
- 13:31and they have a working relationship with AEW, would she need to get out
- 13:37of her contract. All she needs to do if they want her to work
- 13:39here send her over. I mean that, that to me just makes no
- 13:43sense. Now, if she's going to WWE, yeah, she's gonna have
- 13:46to get out of her contract because they don't work together like that. But
- 13:50well, one thing I want to point out to you, Sudden is that
- 13:52Stephanie did make a post a couple of days I think after Forbidden Door on
- 13:58Twitter or x where she did say how proud she was that she is one
- 14:05of the only women right now that are working for aw CL stardom and New
- 14:13Japan. She said, find me another woman that does that. I'll wait,
- 14:16you know, do your homework. Frankly, there isn't any really,
- 14:20and if there, there's certainly not anywhere other than they're not they're WWE.
- 14:28No, and they wouldn't be. And that's the thing everybody else makes this
- 14:31big deal about. Oh, she would make a lot of money going to
- 14:33a the WWE. Yes, she would. In AWWE. She would have
- 14:37to give up New Japan, she'd have to give up stardom, she'd have
- 14:41to give up CMLL, and she'd have to give up AW So I'm sorry,
- 14:46I wouldn't. I see no reason why I would do that if I
- 14:48was her, because it makes no sense. Yeah, And another post that
- 14:56she made, she also did go out of her way to say that she's
- 15:01not done with Mercedes Bonett and she wants a remap. So that sounds like
- 15:05she's leaning towards AW to me, I honestly don't think she's going anywhere.
- 15:09I think it'll stay the same way it is until her contract runs out.
- 15:13Then she might move on but until her contract, which I have no idea
- 15:16what her contract is, and I don't think anybody else really does either.
- 15:22Maybe you could find it, but right off the top of my head,
- 15:24I would say she probably will stay in CMLL until her contract runs out and
- 15:30just use the current relationship set up and do her thing. I may be
- 15:35wrong, but I could have sworn that I saw somebody, and I don't
- 15:39know how reliable this source is, but they did say that she had a
- 15:43couple of more years left on her CMLL contract, But that could be totally
- 15:48bocus. I'm just say just something I saw, right, And that's the
- 15:52thing why I don't see a reason why, And from Aw's point of view,
- 15:58I wouldn't see a re and why i'd want to pay her big money
- 16:02when I can use her and somebody else is paying the bill, you know
- 16:07what I mean. I mean, that's that makes no sense. Well,
- 16:10you still probably have to pay her for her appearance, and it probably cost
- 16:12a penny penny anyway. So yeah, but if she's only going to make
- 16:15one or two appearances a year, that's more. That's better than paying her
- 16:19five or six or a million dollars a year to be full time with your
- 16:22company. Right, Well, let's get the other's opinions on this. So
- 16:29I'm going to say, you know, if I was her, I would
- 16:33I would stay a free agent and just travel wherever you need to be.
- 16:37My problem with her current her coming up. I like her. I think
- 16:42she would be great, but Tony's booking sometimes puts her where she wouldn't be
- 16:47on all the time. And that's my main concern about having her over here.
- 16:52And I also think that AW had AW had her in her contract,
- 16:55she would not be able to travel as much as she would like. Yeah,
- 17:00you know, some of the people get to go to here, there
- 17:02and everywhere. You know, John Moxa gets to go to blood Sport or
- 17:06New Japan, but they're not primary residents there, and she would have dominant
- 17:11storylines in AAW. But she pulled on Matt Cardona and just went wherever she
- 17:15wanted to and made the money. You know, she could do whatever she
- 17:19wanted. She wouldn't have to stay firm, and she could travel the world
- 17:22and just have fun being what she wanted to be, no strings attacked.
- 17:27Let me ask you this, I k before Alex gets a chance of time
- 17:32in so do you ever. See, Look, Stephanie Voker is a main
- 17:40event type star, okay, and she would be wrestling in AW in main
- 17:45event type matches for the TBS Championship, the maybe even something like next year's
- 17:55owen Hart and maybe for the World Championship Women's World champions as a free agent
- 18:02or as a person that is from CMOLL that AW uses. I think AW
- 18:08is proven that somebody from another company is never going to get an AAW belt
- 18:15ever, So, I mean we've seen that at all the Forbidden Doors and
- 18:21other matches throughout the company, you know, throughout the time Dynamite Collision wherever.
- 18:26So do you think that Stephanie would Stephanie would be more leading toward not
- 18:36coming to do that kind of work in AAW simply because she doesn't want to
- 18:40come and get beat all the time. Well, would you look at how
- 18:48they handle meant Mira, she she was used quiet well, even though she
- 18:56didn't win what we thought she should have get, she got used. And
- 19:02it depends on really what she wants out of AW deal. Does she care
- 19:06about having that title or she tailed titles in different companies, so does that
- 19:11really matter to her? Well, even with Mina Shirakawa. She did post
- 19:15to herself after Forbidden Door saying that she has not given up on the aw
- 19:19Women's World Championship yet. So I thought that was interesting because the storyline was
- 19:26that the three of them, meaning Tony, Mina, and Mariah are now
- 19:30like good buddies, friends, sisters, and now Mina comes out and says
- 19:37she's not through facing that yet. So I think I think that with what
- 19:42you're saying is a good point. But I think that Eddie Wrestler, man,
- 19:48woman tag whatever, they don't want to come to a promotion to get
- 19:55beat because then it ruined, it hurts their reputation with the fans, and
- 20:00the fans clamoring for somebody to come is based on that reputation, which means
- 20:06that the more they lose, the less money they're gonna get. Kind of
- 20:10thing. That's just my opinion. See, I don't see it that way.
- 20:17I think I think using the Forbidden Door example is not a good example
- 20:21because that's a one two year pay per view. If she's gonna be if
- 20:26she was if she stayed in CMLO fault and they just use her in the
- 20:30things. It's a little different that way because she would be able to come
- 20:37in for more than just one night. If she was to come in and
- 20:41win this the tn T or the TBS title, she'd be able to stick
- 20:45around for a little while or come back more often than to just do it
- 20:49on a one night thing. Yeah, and I think if she was with
- 20:56AW we've seen them lend wrestlers out consistently. But yeah, I kind of
- 21:04would like this year under an AW contract as an AW wrestler because then she
- 21:11would get that sustained push and could compete for a title. I guess there's
- 21:17a part of me that kind of worries, like because she's not like a
- 21:22great English speaker. She can't speak English well, but it's maybe kind of
- 21:26like Rouche, where it's maybe a little hard to understand. So there's a
- 21:33part of me that worries that maybe she wouldn't be featured as well as she
- 21:37could be on AWTV. I don't know, because Mercedes Money is featured on
- 21:45and she can't speak at all. I mean, I can understand what she's
- 21:48saying, it might take her a little longer to get it out, but
- 21:55you know, I'm sorry. Yeah, Yeah, I think, like Stephanie
- 22:02Vecker, she's a really like kind of a once in a lifetime talent,
- 22:07because I can't think of another Mexican female luchador wrestler that's really come out of
- 22:15Mexico and been successful off the top of my head, and she's already basically
- 22:21done that. Yeah, I mean there's not many. I think that's a
- 22:23really good point because there's really not that many. So you're saying she's a
- 22:30will Osprey type person. Well, I don't think anybody's will Osprey type person,
- 22:36but she's definitely it's not maybe it's not that she's better, but with
- 22:41her style, she's doing things that a lot of American fans it's new to
- 22:48them seeing a woman be able to perform things that they've never seen before and
- 22:55do it it smoothly and fluidly. Yeah. Yeah, she's really like she's
- 23:00one of the top wrestlers to me in the world right now, and just
- 23:06period, not like top female wrestlers, just top wrestlers. Like she's really
- 23:12incredible and I'm sure she'll end up with either AW or WWE, and I
- 23:18could see WWE really making good use of her. They've had good history of
- 23:25treating like the Japanese women wrestlers well so yeah, I think this sky's the
- 23:32limit for her. I'd love for her to be in aw of course,
- 23:34but well we'll see. They've spent a lot of money on Okada, will
- 23:41Osprey Monet might as well go for the clock. Yeah, yeah, for
- 23:48sure. Okay, talking about new wrestlers, we had a Matt wrestler vignette.
- 24:03Maybe it's for a wrestler. There's also rumors that it's actually just for
- 24:07a video game. It was a clip of some guy jumping into a portal
- 24:12and the words hologram came on the screen and then it flashed quickly a wrestler
- 24:18that looked a lot like Arrow Star from I think Triple A and was part
- 24:23of Luca Underground. He basically had the same mask and in like arm things,
- 24:30shoulder pads. Uh. You must have paused that at the right time,
- 24:36that that was a blip on the screen. Yeah, I thought it
- 24:45was a Green Ranger. It could be it could be Conan as Max Moon
- 24:49when he was in the w W Easton. It could be TJP who used
- 24:56to have a video game type character. But I don't think it's a wrestler.
- 24:59I think think it's some type of project because I guess a couple of
- 25:03months ago, back in they trademarked some of this stuff at the top of
- 25:07the year, and Hologram was part of that, but it wasn't type in
- 25:11the same you know, when think of her wrestlers, I remember Jericho coming
- 25:18out to that type of programming type thing with save us or something like that,
- 25:25and it looked like Sammy. But I'm wondering if it's just video game
- 25:30we can create a superstar and they jump in the ring, or I would
- 25:37love for it to be a streaming service. That that's not going to be
- 25:40it, but we'll see what happens. Well, look, we posted it.
- 25:47Somebody posted it on the aw fan pub subreddit, and people seem to
- 25:52be convinced that it's Semi Gavara. I'm not so sure, but I just
- 25:56wanted to throw that out there. Maybe he's not a wrestler, maybe it
- 26:03is just for a video game or some promotion. But yes, MK,
- 26:07you're right, they did, meaning a w did trademark Hologram. So if
- 26:14it is a wrestler, that's probably gonna be their wrestling name. It'll be
- 26:19a great replacement for Gravity, I guess. So, I don't know anybody
- 26:26else have anything to say about this particular thing. It could be like Suicide
- 26:30was a TNA and what do you mean by that? He was their pop
- 26:37up star. That really was was was dressed as anybody they wanted to and
- 26:42they could use him whenever they wanted to. Yeah, it was like different
- 26:48guys wearing the same hout fit and mask. Oh rotating. Okay, well,
- 26:53as long as it's not a w's version of the version of w CW
- 26:57Shockmaster, the version of Glacier. Glacier was really really promoted back then,
- 27:07remember that, And then when he came out it wasn't really it was anti
- 27:11climactic. You can't promote somebody. I mean, this vignette that they did
- 27:15for Hologram was very short, very mysterious. But with w c W what
- 27:22they did it was Glacier as that made him seem like, Hey, this
- 27:25is a guy that's going to make whole COVID look like a kindergarten, you
- 27:30know wrestler, you know so and it and it didn't work out that way.
- 27:33He's he's great, Well, he's actually works with a W now he
- 27:37is a coach and a producer. That's confirmed. He's making his return to
- 27:45the ring. He shall see. Well he has he's sixty years old,
- 27:51but he does still get in the ring, so he could be a very
- 27:56very strong possibility. Yeah. The one thing that's interesting about this, whether
- 28:02it's a wrestler or not, is just aw really hasn't done vignettes at least
- 28:07not often, especially not for something new like that. They're keysing, and
- 28:11we've seen that in WWE a lot over the years, so I wonder if
- 28:15this is at the beginning of something new or they're just testing it out.
- 28:21They got quite a bit. If you go on Twitter or x whatever you
- 28:25want to call it, you go on to subreddits and stuff, it is
- 28:29getting talked about. It is getting talked about, so that's good. But
- 28:33I don't think people are at this point based on one vignette, are you
- 28:40know, over the moon excited waiting for the big reveal or something to that
- 28:47effect, you know. So I think that it's just gonna take some time.
- 28:51On My worry is that they're going to handle it like they did with
- 28:52Glacier, and they're gonna have these longer vignettes and really pump them up to
- 29:00if it is a wrestler or whatever it is, pump it up to be
- 29:03something extraordinary and then it ended up being just another guy. Yeah, like
- 29:08if it had never done that before. Yeah, Like if it is Aerostar,
- 29:15he has had one match in aw before, he's almost forty, it
- 29:21would be it would be like the re debut of Gravity. As you said,
- 29:26basically, it would not be it would not set the world on fire.
- 29:30No offense to Aerostar. Oh yeah, well it's gonna be interesting to
- 29:34see what Palista? What's that? It's Kalisto? He actually Samurai Dell Soul.
- 29:45Yeah, he was in the match with Aerostar. I did my research,
- 29:48but hopefully not him either. Yeah, he's going to research this week.
- 29:52What's it been. Calisto? He's famous for the Luca Things promo.
- 30:00All right, he's the one that would run down to the ring and use
- 30:03the catapult to jump in the ring once and then they changed that because he
- 30:06didn't do it right. I think the production team did it wrong, to
- 30:11be honest with you. Yeah, I think that was Sinkara. Who is
- 30:18never mind, it was Sara, that's right about It was Cinkara. Yeah.
- 30:26I think he was the second attempt at making a new ray Mysterio.
- 30:34Also, it didn't work. Yeah, there's only one ray mystereo. Yeah,
- 30:38and Sinkara actually was a big star in Mexico. Well, yeah,
- 30:44it is Forbidden Door as Mystico as Mystico. Oh okay, you do that
- 30:52right, that Sara's mystico. No, I didn't know that. Yeah,
- 30:56that is that is absolutely true? Is mystic Okay, that's okay. Yeah,
- 31:03so I caught up. Car has been on a w born in most
- 31:10of the CML, cmlund Yeah, yes, he's not too long ago too
- 31:18right, Yeah he did. Yes. Well, look let's move on because
- 31:26we've got on Dynamite tomorrow night. We've got a couple of really I think
- 31:32that are really interesting matches, and that was sort of two Owen Heart Cup
- 31:37Foundation Cup Finals, the first one being and we're gonna talk about them both
- 31:42at the same time. I think that will work. We've got Brian Danielson
- 31:47versus Hangman Adam Page, and then we've also got Willow Nightingale versus Mariah May.
- 31:52And I have to say that while most bull that I've seen talking about
- 32:01this believe that Hangman and Mariah May are going to win these matches, there
- 32:07can be something said for Willow and Brian Danielson also winning these matches. This
- 32:15is probably and I'm going to go out on a limon say this, and
- 32:17I'm going to say this with pretty good conviction. This is the third oh
- 32:22and a hard Cup Foundation or whatever. People always say that they don't like
- 32:29it being called the Owen, but I'm just gonna call it the Owen.
- 32:31Hate me if you must. You could post that I'm a jerk on aw
- 32:37fatob on Reddit, but I'm going to go out on a limon say that
- 32:43the Owen this year, as far as the finals go, these are the
- 32:47least predictable and probably the most interesting as far as story goes, of them
- 32:54all. I think they hit the nail on the head by making both of
- 32:58these matches for a world title shot at all. In So, what do
- 33:07you think about the Owen coup as far as I'm not Owen's cop, don't
- 33:13say it that way, the Owen And what do you feel about it?
- 33:21What do you feel about the Owen as a whole this year compared to the
- 33:23last two years that they had it? And what do you think about each
- 33:27of these matches? Anyone? Anyone? Go ahead, Alex, I'll let
- 33:39you start. Sure, Yeah, like the female side of things is really
- 33:46interesting because Willow I don't I can't think of her other than the Mercedes Monet
- 33:52match that she lost, She's basically won every match in the last six months.
- 33:59Other than that, She's beaten Chris Statlander multiple times. She won the
- 34:05TBS title over Julia Hart Like she's been on quite a run. She's been
- 34:08booked as probably one of, if not the strongest women in ae W and
- 34:15I can in like a match her versus Tony Storm at Wembley Stadium would be
- 34:21a huge main event women's match in my opinion, and she I could see
- 34:25her dethroning Tony Storm. But probably the more likely winner is Mariah May beating
- 34:32Willow here and that would be the biggest win in Mariah May's career so far,
- 34:39beating Willow, I assume cleanly, and then that will set up a
- 34:44huge match for Wembley Tony versus Mariah, which will be even more crazy.
- 34:49So in terms of let me ask you this, do you think that with
- 34:55Mariah May is the story better? Being that we've already had this long ongoing
- 35:02thing with Mina shir Kyle and Tony Storm and Mariah May plus Tony Storm was
- 35:08not born in England. She was born in Australia, but she grew up
- 35:14just in Liverpool. Basically, I mean she moved her grandmother lived in Liverpool.
- 35:17I believe it was that she moved to Liverpool. That's where she got
- 35:22interested in wrestling, started wrestling. Of course, Mariah May is from England.
- 35:25Do you think that would just be a better match to sell at all?
- 35:31In yes, I do think that's where like the story is for sure,
- 35:39It's way more interesting from a story perspective if they did go with Willow
- 35:45here, they still have that story in their back pocket and they can tell
- 35:51it over a longer period of time. Maybe the Willow feud can lead to
- 35:57Mariah May and Tony Storm have a trouble with each other more so in both
- 36:04cases they could make it work. But yes, I would say that Maria
- 36:07ma Tony Storm match is bigger in a lot of ways. And I think
- 36:13if Willow did fight Tony Storm at Wembley, it would be a lot more
- 36:20predictable that Tony Storm would retain the title because that Maria May match is looming
- 36:24in the future. And if if Mariah May faces Tony it's a lot more
- 36:31interesting because who would win. That it could go either way. Yeah.
- 36:37My biggest fear is that they're going to do what they did at all in
- 36:38last year, make the Women's World Championship match a four way. I mean,
- 36:43I don't want to see Willow, Mariah Mina, and Tony Storm in
- 36:47a match. I just want to see a one on one match because I
- 36:51think that they could pull it off. Yeah. Yeah, if they need
- 36:54to do a multi woman match, do it with the TBS title. I
- 36:58guess yeah, don't do it here. This is a big, long term
- 37:02story they've been telling dot don't ruin it. So I don't have much faith
- 37:10in a Willow versus Tony's Storm matchup at all in. I just I don't
- 37:19think she's ready for that high point yet. I think she's a unique wrestler.
- 37:23Willow is, she's she's good, and she's popular. But right now
- 37:30Mariah May is hitting this weee spot and I think the storyline between the two
- 37:35of them is going to hit the high point, and I think it's time
- 37:42for Tony Storm to lose that bill. I think she's had it long enough,
- 37:45she doesn't need it for her for a long amount of time, and
- 37:49she's told her story, and now it's kind of time for her to see
- 37:52a downfall and see where it would go. And there's plenty of time to
- 37:54do it other that time. We're talking about that yet or not. But
- 37:59it's a good match and the storylines this year have really stepped it up.
- 38:05It's no longer predictable. Like you said, Okay, let me ask you
- 38:08a question specifically. So let's just say that Ria May wins tomorrow night and
- 38:13goes on to All In to face Tony Storm. Here's another one of my
- 38:17fears, and I want to see if this is one of your fears as
- 38:21well, what happens if they go to to go to them all in Tony
- 38:24Storm and Maria May, Tony Storm retains who's left exactly. I mean,
- 38:38I see where you're coming from, but I just don't see Willow needing that
- 38:44title right now. And I don't think she's a top tier wrestler. So
- 38:47I mean, they're kind of a spot where either they move this story along
- 38:52or they make us wait. And I don't see much story between between Tony
- 38:59Storm and Willow. I mean, I don't. I don't know what to
- 39:05say. Well, no, we'll get what you're right. The story is
- 39:07definitely there between Mariah May and Tony Storm, and it's not really there between
- 39:13Tony Storm and Willow as of yet. But if Willow does win tomorrow Night,
- 39:15they've got a little over a month to set up a story. And
- 39:22I think Willow's really come into her own cutting promos, so I have faith
- 39:28in her and Tony Storm's ability to sell that and make that feel like a
- 39:30big deal. But I agree that Willow's stories like Chris Statlander, and that's
- 39:37probably what direction they're going with her. So yeah, probably, Maria,
- 39:42here's the thing. Here's the thing. You spent six months almost working on
- 39:45a storyline building towards Mariah May and Tony Storm, going in Mina shir Kawa,
- 39:54who's not done yet, she'll be involved in this too. If you
- 39:59do not have Mariah May win this thing tomorrow night, you've killed that storyline
- 40:05because that's going to delay it a month. It's going to completely change what
- 40:10happens, and it'll die. And that's what everybody should be fearing is that
- 40:15they do that, because you can't continue a story. What would be the
- 40:20point of doing all this build up for the mass they did at Forbidden Door,
- 40:27That that that didn't end how anybody saw it ending. It would make
- 40:31no sense to the end of the story. And there's absolutely no history between
- 40:38Tony Storm and Willow. I agree with both you guys that I don't think.
- 40:44I don't think. I well, I just kind of disagree. I
- 40:45don't think Willow is anywhere near being ready for a world title run. I
- 40:54think Mariah made is more than ready because for me, right now, for
- 40:59me, right now now, she's probably probably the third, second, or
- 41:05third best, the first or second best female wrestler on the roster. No
- 41:12I could agree, I could argue that she's the best. Well I'm saying,
- 41:15but I agree with what you're saying, right and it would be the
- 41:22perfect ending to the Tony Storm title reign. It gives her the opportunity to
- 41:27take that character to melt down, which would be the best way to end
- 41:30that character is not to just have it. Like you said, who's next?
- 41:35If she goes up against Willow, getting back to the Mariah May storyline
- 41:39is going to be damn near impossible. But there's there's just I just don't
- 41:45see Willow. I don't see what everybody else sees in Willow. Everybody talks
- 41:50that she's doing better in her in her promos. To me, her promos
- 41:53aren't they're they're decent, but they're they're they're almost as if she's being doing
- 42:00promos as a heel. That's not a heel. She comes out like the
- 42:06last one she did last week. She was talking about when she faced Statlander,
- 42:09it's like, smile if you have to. But she didn't say it
- 42:13like she meant it. She said it like, you know, I'm getting
- 42:15tired. It was almost like I'm saying this because i have to, because
- 42:20that's whatever expects. But I'm not that way, and it just doesn't make
- 42:23any sense. I think this whole I think they screwed this whole thing up.
- 42:28They really did. They turned Statlander. I still think they turned Statlander
- 42:31Hill and shouldn't have. Statlander should have won last week because she's the one
- 42:36that's done more for the female in the company until every until they got all
- 42:43these other ones came up in the last six months before that, when she
- 42:46took the title away from Cargill, she did the most to get the women's
- 42:52division righted back the way it needed to be done, and then what happens
- 42:55to her. She gets turned heel and they throw her aside. That didn't
- 42:59make no sense. I think if they ruined this match, if they don't
- 43:01give Mariah made this title shot at Wembley because she's English, Like you said,
- 43:08she's English and you're gonna have Oh yeah, that's the whole point you
- 43:13want. Like you know they gave Soirea the title last year? Why because
- 43:19she's English and they wanted her to have her title shot at Forbidden Door or
- 43:23all in so put the two English women in the title match. On that
- 43:30who's next thing? We have so many women that are still out. Yeah,
- 43:37that's what you mean exactly we managed to get And I've been watching I've
- 43:50been watching a w from the beginning, and I get what Tony's trying to
- 43:55do with some of this stuff. But he does have a tendency when it
- 43:58comes to the women to throw a hail Mary pass that gets picked off and
- 44:04returned for a touchdown. He does it a lot when it comes to women's
- 44:07matches. It's just how he's done things. But on the men's side,
- 44:12I'd kind of like to see Swear versus Danielson, But most likely that one's
- 44:20probably a foregone conclusion that's going to be Hangman just because of the unfinished business
- 44:24they have. Do you see something? I kind of agree with you a
- 44:29sudden I think that something is going to happen in tomorrow night's match where Hangman
- 44:35is going to win it clean. But Somebody's gonna come out and get into
- 44:39Danielson's face, whether it's tomorrow night or very very soon, whether like collision
- 44:45or you're still thinking you think it's gonna be what's his I have no idea
- 44:52what the announcer. I do not think that it's Nigel. Oh really,
- 45:00if Nigel confronts him, Nigel's gonna confront him and says, I have a
- 45:06friend that could take you on. Nigel is never going to wrestle in a
- 45:08ring again. Who But here's my question for hope it does happen. He
- 45:14has basically said that he's ready to wrestle, he's been training. Could be
- 45:23nothing. I have no doubt that Nigel is ready, and I don't have
- 45:29any any doubt that he could do it. It's just too much of a
- 45:31risk because of his condition, as simple as that. I mean not only
- 45:39and I don't think that they can let him do it. He's not going
- 45:43to be cleared and frankly, to be honest with you, the way it
- 45:49is right now, I would feel that on a big stage like all In,
- 45:53it would be I would just be uncomfortable watching that match. Oh,
- 46:00it won't happen all In. I think you see they're talking about. If
- 46:04that happens, it'll be a it'll be Danielson's final match. It'll be the
- 46:09match that ends his career. The will end his career with. That's what
- 46:14they That's what people are saying that they see happening. I personally don't want
- 46:16to see that either. I want to see Danielson. I want to see
- 46:20Danielson go to all End and win the title, get a six month run
- 46:23with it maybe, and then and the world at World's end give it up
- 46:28and that would be the end of it, and that's where he retires.
- 46:30That's what I Yeah, I understand, Yeah, but sudden and and MKA
- 46:37I will make this point that you could talk, but Danielson's gone on record
- 46:40record multiple times saying he does not want a championship period, and did Sting,
- 46:46and so did Sting until Tony conn said, hey, guess what you're
- 46:50getting The tag titles don't care if you want it, you're getting it.
- 46:52So I mean, I know I've heard that many times. But before MK
- 46:57hanging on one, say Tony Tony now calling you, Tony Kelsen. Do
- 47:01you know if Mariah, if Mina sher Cow is available tomorrow night, I
- 47:07do not know, because I can see her being there and that could be
- 47:13a way to start even if she's not there. They've done it in the
- 47:16past where it started them when Mina Sir Kyle had a match and startom they
- 47:22had. Tony Storm talked to Mina via a taped message, so that respect.
- 47:31Let's let let's let m K talk because we're talking way too much.
- 47:36Were can talk about everything that other people may want to talk about. So
- 47:40here's my thing. On the men's side, I don't I think either way
- 47:46would be great, but for my sake, I think we're beating Danielson at
- 47:53one of the biggest pavor views. We'll put another notch in his belt to
- 47:57make him bigger. I don't. I don't have any problem with Hangman winning.
- 48:00I think there's a whole course of ways to go with that and makes
- 48:05him see it a little bit, and I think one day Hangman deserves a
- 48:09title shot. But I think it's too soon for Swarre to lose it,
- 48:14and Dan and him and Danilson would put on the clinic. I really do
- 48:19believe that. I agree, And I want to say something here. Remember
- 48:24when Hangman and uh Moxley were doing their thing and they had like four matches.
- 48:30It got to the point where I did not want to see Moxley and
- 48:35Hangman. I was on this podcast, I said, I really have no
- 48:38interest in this match. You know that last match that they had where was
- 48:42it a double or nothing? Twenty twenty three, I can't remember exactly where
- 48:45it was. You know the one where where Hangman are basically hung Moxley by
- 48:50a chain. Yeah with a match, Okay, that match On our podcast,
- 48:54I would saying, I really don't want to see this again. They've
- 48:57done it too much. Blah blah blah blah blah. Then I saw in
- 49:00the match, I was like, this is the best dad match I've ever
- 49:02seen in my life. I loved every second of it. I swear to
- 49:06god, I've got I swear. I think I just wet myself. I
- 49:09don't know, it's just like, I mean, we're I just thoroughly enjoyed
- 49:15a match and I did not want to see. Maybe I enjoyed it because
- 49:17my expectations were so low. But that's my only problem with Hangman and Swerve.
- 49:24If Hangman wins tomorrow night, and I don't know if you guys feel
- 49:28the same way, like, Okay, so we're gonna do this again,
- 49:32Well, they've done it. Every time they've done that match has been great
- 49:37and and almost each one better than the last. But can they keep that
- 49:42up? I think I think they could. I and the story they're telling
- 49:47now with Hangman as the heel and Swerve as the good guy, and Hangman's
- 49:52come back with like his scowl permanently on his face, I don't know.
- 49:58I could see it being like the Mariah May Tony Storm match, Like this
- 50:02has way more story behind it right now than what Brian Danielson versus Swerve has.
- 50:13Alex, let me ask you though that everybody else can answer this too.
- 50:17Do you really see Hangman right now as a heel? Yeah? Yeah,
- 50:22I do. I think he's going to be more. I don't like
- 50:28he tried to kill Jeff Jarrett and well so would we all, Well,
- 50:37yeah, we would have, you know, a few weeks ago, but
- 50:39not after his hurt felt promo that Storytellers he became simply speaking of Jeff Jarrett,
- 50:47I have a question after you're done, Alex. Yeah. And the
- 50:52only other thing I want to add is I could very well see Danielsen verse
- 51:00swerve at all out after because I think that's in Seattle if I'm not mistaken.
- 51:10But I could see that being like the follow up match rather than it
- 51:15being the all in match. And I was just looking on the internet.
- 51:20There is a hepatitis feed vaccine, so theoretically they could have Nigel versus Brad
- 51:25Danielson if you know they get their blood tested beforehand. Gesture the vaccines are
- 51:34take it old, all of them. K want to say so, Jeff
- 51:40Jarrett has inserted himself as the enforcer. Does anybody trust him enough to be
- 51:49partial? I mean, could he screw of one of those guys out and
- 51:52then feud with them for a little bit, because look, they made him
- 51:55such a sob story. He made people believe. I think it would be
- 51:59the ultimate He'll turn to use that and have him threw Danielson out of it
- 52:06somehow and make him a heel again, because he's a better heel than he
- 52:08is a face well, Daniels sending Jared at all in. Oh my god,
- 52:15that would be terrible. I know what I didn't. I didn't see
- 52:22I will never see Jeff Jarrett as a face period, end the story.
- 52:28He has done way too much to be on the evil side to ever be
- 52:32considered a good guy. Even with the mushy story Eye and the story he
- 52:37told about Owen and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
- 52:40a great story. And you knew he wasn't gonna win because when you knew,
- 52:45when you figured out who was coming in, you knew he was gonna
- 52:46get beat. It added something to the Owen, but that was about all
- 52:50it was. If he's inserted himself in as the enforcer, I see him
- 52:55screwing Hangman and then them having a mini feud and then have like Alex said,
- 53:04have Danielson swerve it all all in and then swerve and hang Man it
- 53:10all out vice versa which everyone comes. I can't remember, but you know
- 53:15what I mean. That would make and Daniels said, yeah, I don't
- 53:22want to see Jeff Jared involved in this. I think it was a nice
- 53:24moment. You know, they put some keep behind the match that he had
- 53:29with with Hangman, but I don't I don't need to see him keep being
- 53:32involved in this, so I'm hoping. Yeah. I mean it's the two
- 53:40outlaws. I mean that's something to go on. And I like Jared.
- 53:46I think that match was a very good match he had with Hangman, and
- 53:50I like to see some I don't know, I just think he At first,
- 53:54when Jared came in, I was not for him staying at all and
- 53:59inter wrestling, but he he grew on me and I think he could do
- 54:02something. Yeah, I agree, he's grown on me. I think when
- 54:08you first debuted it was kind of like, oh God, why is here?
- 54:13And I have enjoyed him a lot more over time, but he's more
- 54:19of like a zero hour guy. I don't know. If I don't want
- 54:22him to be in the main event feud and Hangman's corner, that would be
- 54:27a little bit weird to me, but maybe they can make me believe.
- 54:43Okay, what's the next subject? What's the next subject? Did we hear
- 54:49Kelson's thoughts? I don't know, Kelson, if you're trying to chime in,
- 54:52you're muted. Okay, So I'm sorry, you know, I didn't
- 54:58know we were done, but I before we go to I have a kind
- 55:00of a bonus topic that I want to talk about that we've not even discussed,
- 55:05and you guys don't even know what's coming. But before we do go
- 55:08to that, I have a special treat for you guys. It's only five
- 55:13seconds long and it's an audio, so everybody on listening will be able to
- 55:16hear it. So I got a cute up and here it is. This
- 55:21is Jeff Jarrett actually playing guitar. And here it is, right though,
- 55:27it's only five seconds long. Ready, here we go. Pretty good,
- 55:36wasn't it? Did you guys hear it? Okay? Yeah? It was
- 55:43great? It was I called it's okay. Yeah, Well, of course
- 55:46you don't hear anything because there's no goddamn strings on the guitars. How are
- 55:52you feeling, okay, buddy? So here's gimmick. I am going to
- 56:06reveal that for the last thirty years that guitar has been a gimmick guitar.
- 56:15I never never realized. I never even thought about it. Well, you
- 56:22know, flapping around everywhere, flapping of course. What I like. Let's
- 56:29say that Kelson grabs the guitar and hits Alex over the head, which I
- 56:32have honestly wanted to do multiple times, but basically it might hit you over
- 56:38the head. It would be like you'd hear it, you'd hear the you're
- 56:42here play at least sometime you'd hear like a twang. But there's nothing a
- 56:49couple of yeah, you know. But anyway, it's like sitting on a
- 56:52piano anyway, except on Alex's head. Here's the I want to bring up
- 56:59a topic that it won't be a long topic and give everybody a chance to
- 57:04chime in here. But I want to talk about the purse of Serena deeb
- 57:07Uh. She had had a somewhat of a feud being set up with you
- 57:13Kaza Kazaki. Sakazaki gets injured, so they started having a feud set up
- 57:19between her and Rio. Rio fractured her arm this past week, so now
- 57:24she's out. So basically, if you want to get rid of a wrestler,
- 57:28aw put her in a storyline with Serena Deep. They don't even have
- 57:31to wrestle, you know. It's kind of a shame. I will say
- 57:35this that there was a picture that was posted a workout picture, and it
- 57:39featured four people in the picture. It was Tymelo said Kanti so much earlier
- 57:47that now I forgot her actual last name, Tymelo Guevara, Sammy Guevara,
- 57:54Uh Kanosuke Takashida, as Mark Briscow would call her, call him, and
- 58:02Yukasankazaki and y Kazakazaki, you know. So it looks like yu Kazakazaki may
- 58:10be working out. She did have her ankle rapped, but it was just
- 58:14a regular rap. She was in gain gear, you know, workout gear,
- 58:20you know, sitting outside the ring. There were fey Mellow was holding
- 58:24Luna, who was definitely given up big time. Ill vibes to me,
- 58:30so that that kid's gonna be problems when she does. Yeah, that the
- 58:34baby. But I just thought the picture was interesting to bring bring up because,
- 58:40uh, it shows there was a couple of things that have been interesting.
- 58:45And I did some research on it and I could find nothing to confirm
- 58:50this at all, but I wanted to bring it up just to kind of
- 58:53get your reactions to this. Is that I've seen people saying that Yukaza Kazaki
- 59:04and can Oo Skate Takeshta are actually married. Wow, But I can't find
- 59:10confirmation of it. But that's what people are saying and if that's true,
- 59:16that's that's a pretty big deal. But they I mean, there's nothing on
- 59:22like on their Wikipedia pages. There's nothing on like anything cage Match, there's
- 59:27nothing on Fightful. But I have seen other people saying that they've been together
- 59:31for a while and that they are actually married, So I thought that was
- 59:36interesting. But the other interesting thing, of course, is is that Tay
- 59:39Mellow is in the picture working out. I've seen her doing running drills through
- 59:44the ropes and stuff, and I guess I want to focus more on that,
- 59:49really, I mean, you can speak about other things. But back
- 59:52in late May, Tello put down that did write on act that it's about
- 1:00:00she's about two months away from being cleared, which means at the end of
- 1:00:02this month that's the two months. So I mean, what do you think,
- 1:00:08you know, with Tay Mellow coming back, Sammy Guvar still hasn't come
- 1:00:12back even though he's been unsuspended, or they waiting to bring them back at
- 1:00:15the same time, you know, what do you think, what's what's gonna
- 1:00:19happen with Sammy and Tay Mullow when they come back. Do you have anything
- 1:00:23in your minds as far as look with Sammy. I'm just gonna say it.
- 1:00:28Sammy's new gimmick should be that he has an axe and he just takes
- 1:00:30chops down the learning tree. That's all I want to say. That's it.
- 1:00:36You can even take down the redwood if he wants. But you know
- 1:00:37what, you know what's the learning tree segment? So you'll miss it?
- 1:00:43No, because I have learned. Look, I'm a little older than you,
- 1:00:47Sutton, you know, and over the years I have learned that one
- 1:00:53should not beat their head against a brick wall and then complain to other people
- 1:00:57that they have a headache. And watching the Learning Tree, but I did
- 1:01:01watch it is like beating my head against a brick wall. They gave me
- 1:01:06a headache. I don't have headaches anymore because I turned the shit off.
- 1:01:13You know. I don't want Samity to do good. People were joking around
- 1:01:15about that, about that mysterious video that he needs to come back rebranded,
- 1:01:22and they wouldn't have a problem with him coming back into the Luchador and not
- 1:01:25samp and Cavara. But okay, let me ask you this now at all
- 1:01:31serious. Now, if Sammy Guvara show it up tomorrow night or a week
- 1:01:38or two weeks from now in a full Lucidor costume. Would you say,
- 1:01:45what the hell is Sami Gavara doing at a lutator costume? You know what
- 1:01:50I mean? It's not like it would be like, well, yeah,
- 1:01:52that's Semi Gavara. Well, you know, he likes anime stuff, and
- 1:01:58he and that suit kind of reminded me of anime. I'm not saying it's
- 1:02:01a good idea, but he needs something. Sammy needs a rebrand, he
- 1:02:07needs to stay away from the Jericho Vortex. And I don't know what to
- 1:02:10do with it because he's so controversial, he's so hard to work with.
- 1:02:16I just don't know what to do with him. But Tay, but Tay
- 1:02:21mellow or I hope she comes back with a vengeance. I really think she
- 1:02:25has places to go, and I think she could be the star of that
- 1:02:30family. Sammy can do whatever he wants to, but Tay has potential to
- 1:02:35be something. But she keeps on. You know, there's injury and pregnancy
- 1:02:38and weddings and all that stuff she's been through, so she's right, she's
- 1:02:43due for something. Alls I've said is that putting a mask on Samy Gavar
- 1:02:46and saying, oh, you do't can't expect people to say, oh,
- 1:02:50who's that. That's like putting a pair of hord hord drimmed glasses on Tay
- 1:02:54Mellow and say, hey, who's that blonde woman? You know, he
- 1:03:00just doesn't work. That would be horrible for Sammy because it would almost be
- 1:03:04them saying like, we don't believe Samy has a personality enough, and we're
- 1:03:10going to put a mask on him, pretend he doesn't speak English. Well,
- 1:03:16here's the thing. He's Sabby's nickname is the Spanish God. He doesn't
- 1:03:21speak Spanish, so you would be a silent person because he can't speak Spanish
- 1:03:27unless he's taken lessons. But he would speak broken Spanish. So he would
- 1:03:31alienate the Spanish community that watches a W because then you know that there's a
- 1:03:37lot a lot of you know, Mexican and Spanish viewers that watch a W.
- 1:03:44But what would you do with him? I mean, how can you
- 1:03:45help him? He's he's been at the top, he's been great when he
- 1:03:51had a tn T title. But I don't know the bad booking on Tony's
- 1:03:53part or what, but he just no, I don't I don't agree.
- 1:03:59I think sam has been his own worst enemy. I think he seems like
- 1:04:02a guy that gets along with people, but he also hasn't. He had
- 1:04:06like a fight backstage with Andrade. But but even worse was, you know,
- 1:04:14he brought his fiance out into the ring and proposed to her, and
- 1:04:18then and then like months later he was leaving her for Tyme Mello. And
- 1:04:25that's really when everyone turned against him. And yeah, things happen in life,
- 1:04:29but to do it so publicly and then to think people are going to
- 1:04:32be on your side, it was just, you know, he in all
- 1:04:36seriousness and I'm that serious here. If you want Sammy Garvar to get over,
- 1:04:43whether it's a heel or a face, you start with him taking down
- 1:04:46the learning tree. I swear to God, that's just that's how you do
- 1:04:50it. That's how you do it. I think you need to stay as
- 1:04:55far away from Jerick Ghost possible. I agree his his the problem is okay,
- 1:05:00yeah, what he did with this first girl, whatever, that was
- 1:05:03fine. Whatever he did it, it's over, it's done with him.
- 1:05:06In time, moved on, they got married, the baby. Now,
- 1:05:11his biggest problem's been he's been put in with groups that he shouldn't have been
- 1:05:15put in with he's much better by himself. He was a great TNT champion.
- 1:05:21He was he was doing his own thing basically when he was the TNT
- 1:05:25champion. And that's where the problem comes in. When you put somebody in
- 1:05:30a grassle like look, look, let's let's like like look at the at
- 1:05:33wardlow wardlow did great for a little while by himself. But every time he
- 1:05:39starts to get built up, they put him with a group and what happens
- 1:05:43to him? Bye? He goes bye bye because they I mean, look
- 1:05:46at him now. He and he hasn't wrestled him forever, and when he
- 1:05:49does, nobody cares because he's in nobody now he's on he's like an also
- 1:05:56ran in the unit in the Undisputed Kingdom. I think that that's his own
- 1:06:00fault, like he he's never been a great personality when he's on the mic.
- 1:06:05Like when they had that four way pillar feud, he felt like,
- 1:06:10wow, he's really like the bottom pillar for sure if you're and then he's
- 1:06:16always sloppy in the ring like you know him and will Osprey both do that
- 1:06:20like jumping cutter. Will Osprey makes it look great every time Sammy does it.
- 1:06:27It looks like the worst thing I've ever seen in my life, except
- 1:06:30forst. Cody Rhodes was one of my favorite a W Yeah, I thought
- 1:06:40that was. Occasionally he strikeschol especially when he tries to like literally kill himself
- 1:06:45more than anyone else, jumping off a ladder to give I could probably do
- 1:06:53it once. My problem if you put him with the right music, I
- 1:06:59don't know why using Alex so much. You put him in matches against the
- 1:07:02right people, he could be easily be one of the top people. You
- 1:07:08put him in a few with Darby, well that might be that might go
- 1:07:12against their insurance policy because those two would kill each other. But they could
- 1:07:16put on a hell of a show. You put him in there with some
- 1:07:19of the loocha doors that come in from other places, and he could be
- 1:07:23great. But sometimes I think the it's just he's not being put in the
- 1:07:30right situation. But where do we see Tate mellow, we see TJ come
- 1:07:35back, or do we see something else? I wonder if she gets blotted
- 1:07:41in with the outcast now that is with them. That makes sense? Yeah,
- 1:07:46I kind of like that. That makes sense. Well, we're going
- 1:07:51to see it pretty soon. That's going to be answered pretty soon. I
- 1:07:54think I would not be surprised if in the next couple of weeks we do
- 1:07:58see Tate Mello show back up. So keep keep looking at the match cards
- 1:08:02for like the end of July, maybe the beginning of August, and see
- 1:08:08if we see something like ana J on dynamite or collision you know, in
- 1:08:14a in a match, you know, and I think that's going to be
- 1:08:17the tell tale sign that hey we Basice m hmdustry. But but but it's
- 1:08:26it'll be if I do think that is going to get back together at this
- 1:08:33point, I wouldn't mind at all if I saw, you know, Ana
- 1:08:40j and Tay Mellow go to uh Stardom even and do a little bit of
- 1:08:44a run there over a couple of week period of time, you know,
- 1:08:46because stardom is they have a lot of shows. Just the other way to
- 1:08:51put it, they have a show like every three days. It seems like
- 1:08:56it's amazing how much they wrestle. So Japan, but that's just me.
- 1:09:02Well, Japan did a lot for Jack Perry as far as his character,
- 1:09:06that's for sure. I think he was more over in Japan than he is
- 1:09:10in the American United States. To be honest with you. So anyway,
- 1:09:14well we'll see. Hey, you'd never know. We got, you know,
- 1:09:18a lot of stuff that could happen tomorrow night. We've got a lot
- 1:09:21of stuff that can happen in the next couple of weeks, and we'll be
- 1:09:25here to talk about it. Uh So, tomorrow night we'll have I'll lead
- 1:09:29talk with the aw fat podcast team. And this was Ignition. Thanks for
- 1:09:35listening, everybody. This is Kelson. Good night everybody. YO, good
- 1:09:43night, Eddie Kingston. Wherever you are, New York. He's probably New
- 1:09:49York. Yeah,
