- 1:00Speaker 1: Sir, yep.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Yeah, So.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Let's get this started.
- 1:05Speaker 2: We're gonna start off, you know again, We're gonna do
- 1:08Speaker 2: a prediction show on Wednesday. So we're not gonna do
- 1:11Speaker 2: any predictions here except for to predict whether this card
- 1:15Speaker 2: is gonna get any better, because I am not going
- 1:18Speaker 2: to lie to you. I'm looking at this and I'm like,
- 1:20Speaker 2: this looks like a bad episode of Collision. I'm not interested.
- 1:26Speaker 2: There's a couple of matches here that I'm interested in
- 1:30Speaker 2: that I think are pay a per view level. But
- 1:33Speaker 2: there's a couple of matches that seem blatantly obvious to me,
- 1:37Speaker 2: and I'm just I'm not feeling that we're less than
- 1:42Speaker 2: a week away and I'm not feeling this card at all.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And I'm interested to hear what you guys think, So
- 1:50Speaker 2: speak your mind.
- 1:53Speaker 4: I think you got to give it a chance.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Like on paper, it doesn't look spectacular, but if you
- 2:02Speaker 5: kind of dissect each one of these matches, they have
- 2:05Speaker 5: a potential of being really good. And I have a
- 2:08Speaker 5: feeling that this is going to be a very story
- 2:11Speaker 5: driven pay per view. I just feel it kind of
- 2:14Speaker 5: in my gut based on how AW has been booking
- 2:16Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks. I think that you know,
- 2:20Speaker 5: a lot of times I find myself saying the same thing,
- 2:24Speaker 5: and those shows are typically the ones that impress me
- 2:26Speaker 5: the most. But that's kind of where I'm at with it.
- 2:30Speaker 5: This is Wolf by the way, Hello, everybody.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Great, you had something you were going to say?
- 2:36Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm going to this show and I am
- 2:39Speaker 6: not excited, And I'm going to back up Wolf on
- 2:41Speaker 6: what he said. These matches, they're going to be good.
- 2:43Speaker 6: I have no doubt. Aw Never really disappoints with the
- 2:47Speaker 6: actual show quality. But this card is just kind of depressing,
- 2:51Speaker 6: to be honest. And the reason why I say this
- 2:54Speaker 6: is because one of the people I'm going with, he
- 2:56Speaker 6: doesn't really watch wrestling or aw he watches pay per
- 2:59Speaker 6: views with me. He has no idea who she bought
- 3:02Speaker 6: it is. He has no idea who the private party
- 3:04Speaker 6: are or Atlantis Junior. So I'm Mike. My concern is
- 3:08Speaker 6: that he's not gonna have fun and he might not
- 3:11Speaker 6: want to go back to another show. So I feel
- 3:14Speaker 6: like it's really lacking a lot of star power, and
- 3:17Speaker 6: like there's so many people men and women on the roster,
- 3:21Speaker 6: and I'm not even counting the ones who are injured
- 3:23Speaker 6: or anything, like Okada and like Malachi, like those types
- 3:27Speaker 6: of guys, they're not on the card, and I don't
- 3:29Speaker 6: really see if they're gonna be on the card. We
- 3:31Speaker 6: have like three matches left maybe on this card, So
- 3:34Speaker 6: I don't I feel like we're going to be missing
- 3:35Speaker 6: a lot of top names on this show.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah I can't. I can't disagree with you, so go ahead.
- 3:43Speaker 7: I don't see it that way, Like Wolfe said, aw
- 3:49Speaker 7: never disappoints when it comes to pay per views. I mean,
- 3:52Speaker 7: the Jericho match may not be great. I'm not sure
- 3:56Speaker 7: about the ROH TV title with Atlantis Junior. I'm not
- 4:00Speaker 7: sure about that match, but every other one, it's got
- 4:04Speaker 7: a potential to be a off the chart match. The
- 4:08Speaker 7: triple threat match between Osprey and uh Ricochet, and.
- 4:17Speaker 1: You have to say the gorgeous squad.
- 4:20Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, that's not my hang up, but no,
- 4:24Speaker 7: I think that match could have a potential to be
- 4:27Speaker 7: match of the Year definitely.
- 4:31Speaker 8: You know, there's a cup.
- 4:32Speaker 7: Like I said, the good thing about the Jericho matches,
- 4:35Speaker 7: he's going up against you know, he's going up against
- 4:39Speaker 7: Mark brisco and I like Briscoe and what he does.
- 4:41Speaker 7: It's gonna be a great card as long as everybody
- 4:45Speaker 7: gives it a chance. And you know they're gonna probably
- 4:49Speaker 7: add the women's title match unfortunately.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well what are your what are your thoughts here?
- 5:00Speaker 2: And are you going to the show?
- 5:04Speaker 9: No, I'm not going to the show, but I'm not
- 5:09Speaker 9: that excited about it yet. I don't see anything that
- 5:13Speaker 9: I really want to see, But I'm hoping that they
- 5:19Speaker 9: add some things because I agree, they don't usually disappoint
- 5:25Speaker 9: with the podcast, with the podcast with the pay per views,
- 5:29Speaker 9: so I don't know. I was kind of hoping to
- 5:34Speaker 9: see a few people that, as you know, I really
- 5:37Speaker 9: really like. But it doesn't seem to be set up
- 5:41Speaker 9: for that.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Go ahead because I was gonna actually mention something that
- 5:46Speaker 2: you said go ahead.
- 5:49Speaker 6: Despite what I said before, I do think that the
- 5:51Speaker 6: triple threat match has the potential to be maybe the
- 5:55Speaker 6: best triple threat match ever. So I'm going out on
- 5:58Speaker 6: the limb with that.
- 6:01Speaker 10: I think you guys are sleeping on in Jericho Mark
- 6:04Speaker 10: Briscoe match. I really think Jericho does a good job
- 6:08Speaker 10: when he's with the right people, and I think Mark
- 6:10Speaker 10: brisco and Christ Jericho could be a very good match.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I guarantee you that there's a very good chance that
- 6:17Speaker 2: I will be sleeping through the Mark brisco Chris Jericho match.
- 6:21Speaker 11: I think you're mission in man.
- 6:24Speaker 1: I don't think.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I can't think of any world where I would want
- 6:29Speaker 2: to see that match. Sorry that you know that's the
- 6:31Speaker 2: way I feel. But something that Andre said that I
- 6:36Speaker 2: wanted to revisit. He said that there's no Malachi, there's
- 6:39Speaker 2: no Okata in this uh on this card. There's other
- 6:45Speaker 2: wrestlers that are not on that card. Who do we
- 6:47Speaker 2: think we want to see added to this card? Notice
- 6:50Speaker 2: on this card also, there are no women's matches.
- 6:57Speaker 8: Like I said, you know you're going to have the
- 6:59Speaker 8: women's title match.
- 7:00Speaker 11: Which will be stupid.
- 7:02Speaker 8: Hopefully it's Willow versus Mariah.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Well.
- 7:06Speaker 7: Actually, to be honest with you, I really do hope
- 7:08Speaker 7: that Britt gets the win, because that way she can
- 7:10Speaker 7: be out of the picture again for a while.
- 7:14Speaker 11: I would kind of agree with that.
- 7:16Speaker 10: I don't I don't understand the makings of why she
- 7:19Speaker 10: she gets a title match. Pretendent's so quick and will
- 7:23Speaker 10: just got out of a losing predicament too, so I
- 7:25Speaker 10: don't understand why Britt needs needs this.
- 7:29Speaker 7: Yeah, will lost to stat at all in and now
- 7:33Speaker 7: she's going to get a shot before Statt doesn't make this.
- 7:36Speaker 7: Like I said in a post.
- 7:37Speaker 8: Earlier on one of that I don't remember it was.
- 7:39Speaker 8: They're totally They did a great thing.
- 7:41Speaker 7: With the Tony storm Mariah May up until the point
- 7:46Speaker 7: when Mariah turned on her. But other than that, the
- 7:49Speaker 7: women's division has gotten it's it's not been good at all.
- 7:54Speaker 11: Well, yeah, that's Tony's bad booking right there.
- 7:57Speaker 1: He's bad.
- 7:58Speaker 11: He's very good with the chase, but he's.
- 7:59Speaker 10: Not good with finishing and up. That's what happened with Hangman.
- 8:02Speaker 10: I think he has to work on Mariah May's tyle
- 8:07Speaker 10: rain and he and he really hasn't done that at all.
- 8:12Speaker 6: I was hoping to see uh, what's her name, Mariah
- 8:16Speaker 6: May versus Mina Shurakala, but I think it's too late
- 8:19Speaker 6: for that. And I would love to see Mercedes Money
- 8:23Speaker 6: on the card. I don't really care who she fights.
- 8:25Speaker 6: I just I need some star power.
- 8:29Speaker 12: Yeah, I think, yeah, you also sorry, go ahead, No,
- 8:37Speaker 12: I'm sorry man, Yeah I said this, Yeah, Chris stat
- 8:39Speaker 12: Land versus Monette.
- 8:41Speaker 4: But I'm also thinking.
- 8:43Speaker 5: That Hangman and uh uh not Yeah, Hangman and Jay
- 8:47Speaker 5: White will probably get a match.
- 8:49Speaker 6: That would be good.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be good. It would be good because this
- 8:55Speaker 4: this go.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Around, they have different dynamics and like I said, this
- 8:57Speaker 5: whole thing is gonna be story based, like just wait
- 9:00Speaker 5: until the end.
- 9:01Speaker 4: I have a feeling.
- 9:02Speaker 5: I made a huge Reddit top urb reddit post this week.
- 9:05Speaker 5: I think that this is really going to be a
- 9:07Speaker 5: turning point for aw in terms of storytelling, and.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Any of you read my post. You know what I'm
- 9:14Speaker 4: alluding to.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's got to start tomorrow night, though
- 9:18Speaker 2: it really does. It has to start with Dynamite this
- 9:20Speaker 2: week because we don't have a collision rampage. I guess
- 9:26Speaker 2: they're going to do a rampage. But who's going to
- 9:29Speaker 2: watch rampage? Is only two hundred thousand people watch it
- 9:32Speaker 2: to begin with, you know, So you know it's one
- 9:35Speaker 2: of those things where it's I think it was Wolf
- 9:39Speaker 2: mentioned it's too late, and it is too late this.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Kind of you.
- 9:44Speaker 2: They didn't just announce Russell Dream a week ago. It's
- 9:48Speaker 2: been announced. You've got to set up stories for these
- 9:52Speaker 2: pay per views. You got to It doesn't even have
- 9:55Speaker 2: to be a story, even a long term story. It's
- 9:57Speaker 2: just have to have something intriguing. I mean, you look
- 10:00Speaker 2: at this Jack Perry and Shabata that got no set
- 10:03Speaker 2: up whatsoever, Darby Allen and Brody King, no set up whatsoever,
- 10:10Speaker 2: Atlantis Junior, Brian Cage, no set up forever whatsoever.
- 10:15Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Yeah, you can even argue that Young Bucks and Private
- 10:19Speaker 2: Party had no setup because.
- 10:25Speaker 7: Challenge, the biggest problem they have right now is how
- 10:30Speaker 7: many pay per views we had in the last two months.
- 10:33Speaker 8: You cannot you know, you can do.
- 10:36Speaker 7: You can do a pay per view a month and
- 10:38Speaker 7: make it look good. But when you start putting one
- 10:41Speaker 7: two weeks after another and then a month later have
- 10:43Speaker 7: another one, that's too much. And you had, uh the
- 10:48Speaker 7: the U Grand Slam that was in between. That just
- 10:52Speaker 7: they're just they're not giving themselves enough time to build
- 10:55Speaker 7: stories correctly.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, like I said, I don't don't really
- 11:00Speaker 2: have to mean stories, but there's got to be some
- 11:03Speaker 2: kind of intrigue. These matches that I'm looking at here,
- 11:07Speaker 2: the vast majority of them have no sense of what's
- 11:11Speaker 2: gonna happen.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Does anybody really expect Moxley to beat Brian Danielson?
- 11:18Speaker 1: I sure don't.
- 11:20Speaker 11: I don't, but people think they don't.
- 11:23Speaker 9: I think there's a twist there to that match.
- 11:29Speaker 2: I think Wolfe said something about that. That is that
- 11:32Speaker 2: they're going to be using this pay per view to
- 11:35Speaker 2: do story.
- 11:37Speaker 1: There's going to be a story driven There's gonna be
- 11:39Speaker 1: a story driven pay per view. And I agree with
- 11:41Speaker 1: wolf and.
- 11:42Speaker 9: You always agree to and if you if you will, I'm.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry for interrupting. Go ahead.
- 11:50Speaker 9: If you all remember I said a few months ago
- 11:53Speaker 9: when we were maybe was a little while ago, we
- 11:56Speaker 9: were talking about wrestle dreams and I had said, you know,
- 12:00Speaker 9: I'm here where they're going to have Russell dream and
- 12:05Speaker 9: we here in the Seattle area barely even know about it,
- 12:10Speaker 9: and the hype surrounding it in the local area has
- 12:17Speaker 9: just been nonexistent. And I don't understand that it's going
- 12:21Speaker 9: to happen in Tacoma.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Last year, yeah it was.
- 12:27Speaker 9: It was like that last year. But I thought this
- 12:30Speaker 9: year it was going to be hugely hyped up because
- 12:33Speaker 9: Swerve is from Tacoma. You know, We've got Yeah, We've
- 12:39Speaker 9: got Danielson, who's from from Washington State. We've got Darby.
- 12:44Speaker 9: I mean, you know, and I think I've said this before.
- 12:48Speaker 9: Independent wrestling here and in Portland is huge. There's a
- 12:54Speaker 9: big market for wrestling. And it's like AW comes to
- 12:59Speaker 9: town and nobody knows they're coming to town. And you know,
- 13:04Speaker 9: I wait all year for AW to come to the
- 13:08Speaker 9: Pacific Northwest and then it's like they're coming, but I
- 13:12Speaker 9: only find out about it through little mentions during picture
- 13:17Speaker 9: and picture. There's no hype surrounding this whatsoever. And I
- 13:23Speaker 9: don't understand how you can have a major pave purview
- 13:27Speaker 9: and you market it in the area that you're having it.
- 13:33Speaker 9: So I just I don't get it. I don't know
- 13:37Speaker 9: the thought process behind this one.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're going to find anybody that
- 13:42Speaker 2: necessarily disagrees with anything you just said that.
- 13:47Speaker 11: But they've always had a problem with that. I've been
- 13:50Speaker 11: to Tulsa shows and they haven't promoted it either very
- 13:53Speaker 11: much except for the week right before. So they need
- 13:56Speaker 11: to do a better job.
- 13:57Speaker 10: But it's been something for a long time that they've
- 14:00Speaker 10: been lacking on.
- 14:03Speaker 7: Yeah, and I find that funny because, like I said,
- 14:07Speaker 7: last last week was Pittsburgh. I saw more ads for
- 14:11Speaker 7: that show. Every piece of social media I went on
- 14:16Speaker 7: had an ad that had it didn't even have Britt Baker,
- 14:20Speaker 7: it had uh the Acclaimed and they were talking it up.
- 14:25Speaker 7: And I mean every place I went to had something
- 14:29Speaker 7: saying it was going to be in Pittsburgh.
- 14:31Speaker 8: But they don't. I don't.
- 14:32Speaker 7: You know, that's one lesson that Tony definitely has not
- 14:34Speaker 7: learned yet. He definitely's got to get under control and learn.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Now we've spoken about this before. Look, you know, you
- 14:42Speaker 2: go on Twitter or ex as you want to call it.
- 14:45Speaker 2: And there are accounts dedicated to pro wrestling and a
- 14:49Speaker 2: W specifically that are that have a lot of followers.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Air Gold our good friend air Gold. He has an
- 14:55Speaker 2: account he does spaces. Why not throw him a bum
- 15:00Speaker 2: and send them a graphic, you know, an official graphic?
- 15:02Speaker 1: Have you know?
- 15:04Speaker 2: Public the PR department in AAW do something. You've got
- 15:08Speaker 2: AW fan Hub, You've got the discords, You've got everything
- 15:13Speaker 2: you The PR department at AW has all these fans
- 15:20Speaker 2: that are wanting to promote the product.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Use them, do amas, do everything you can to get
- 15:29Speaker 3: people talking, because people who are not fans of AW
- 15:34Speaker 3: will show up for something like that, and that guy's
- 15:39Speaker 3: interest that gets the paper BUW guys watch their TV
- 15:44Speaker 3: shows and hopefully attender events.
- 15:51Speaker 9: I just wanted to add what makes this so infuriating
- 15:56Speaker 9: for me being here in the Seattle area is that
- 16:00Speaker 9: a W hired on Christopher Daniels, and Christopher Daniels is
- 16:07Speaker 9: huge here because of his career in the independent wrestling scene.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Huge.
- 16:15Speaker 9: So I don't know why Christopher Daniels isn't screaming from
- 16:19Speaker 9: the mountaintops that AW is coming to Seattle or Tacoma.
- 16:25Speaker 9: I mean that just seems like a waste of his
- 16:29Speaker 9: talent as well. I don't get this at all. It's
- 16:33Speaker 9: frustrating as a fan, so.
- 16:35Speaker 2: It really is frustrating, especially when you know, look, we're
- 16:38Speaker 2: here every week doing these podcasts. We're working hard in
- 16:42Speaker 2: our own little way to promote a w Sure we're
- 16:46Speaker 2: critical of it, sometimes overly critical, but I really don't
- 16:50Speaker 2: even think that. I think that our criticisms are justified.
- 16:55Speaker 2: But you know, we're here and we're promoting. Yeah, it's
- 17:01Speaker 2: as simple as that.
- 17:02Speaker 5: As of right now, and as of right now, they've
- 17:04Speaker 5: sold We're not. As of right now, this is a
- 17:07Speaker 5: couple of days old, they sold close to six thousand tickets.
- 17:10Speaker 5: That's usually kind of on part of what they've been
- 17:13Speaker 5: selling for pay per views as far as just like
- 17:16Speaker 5: this year's So, I mean they are they did sell
- 17:20Speaker 5: tickets for this thing. I get that they could sell
- 17:22Speaker 5: a hell of a lot more, but I don't think
- 17:25Speaker 5: that this particular pay per view is going to feel
- 17:28Speaker 5: Just to keep that in mind, like I feel like
- 17:30Speaker 5: it's gonna it's going to come across as a big
- 17:33Speaker 5: show through the broadcast, even though they're not promoting it.
- 17:37Speaker 5: As much as they should be. I'm guessing I would
- 17:41Speaker 5: if I had a guest, they'll probably sell around seven
- 17:43Speaker 5: thousand maybe in total. Maybe they can push another thousand
- 17:46Speaker 5: in a week.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, do yourself a favor.
- 17:49Speaker 2: One thing that you can say that I could say
- 17:51Speaker 2: is go and look at the last time ww WE
- 17:55Speaker 2: did a show at the Tacoma Dome. They got they
- 18:00Speaker 2: got I think I want to say it was forty
- 18:04Speaker 2: five hundred.
- 18:06Speaker 1: As far as the attendance.
- 18:07Speaker 6: Well they did. They did smack down like a month
- 18:10Speaker 6: ago when they premiered on a new channel that was
- 18:12Speaker 6: in Seattle at a climate pledge and they sold out
- 18:15Speaker 6: pretty much. And that holds like seventeen thousand. Yeah, and
- 18:18Speaker 6: that's where Wrussell Dream was last year and they only
- 18:21Speaker 6: sold like eight thousand. I think. So WWE does pretty
- 18:26Speaker 6: good still, even like for weekly shows.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Yeah, but you understand what I'm saying is that you've
- 18:32Speaker 2: got like that said, and I absolutely agree with Nett.
- 18:35Speaker 2: You've got to promote your shows to get people in
- 18:38Speaker 2: the stands. Because I don't know about you, but when
- 18:42Speaker 2: I'm watching a AAW wrestling show or any wrestling show,
- 18:46Speaker 2: and the stands are filled and the crowd is you know, boisterous,
- 18:53Speaker 2: and they're hot, they're into the matches and they're into
- 18:56Speaker 2: the segments. It makes me want to watch more. Unless
- 19:00Speaker 2: you know Chris jerich Over it's out there. But anyway,
- 19:05Speaker 2: I want to move on because somebody mentioned Chris Statlander
- 19:09Speaker 2: that she should be on this card, and well it's
- 19:13Speaker 2: been announced that Chris Statlander's story with Stokely Hathaway is
- 19:18Speaker 2: now over. Uh do we feel like Chris Statlander is
- 19:21Speaker 2: going to be turning face? And what do we think
- 19:25Speaker 2: is next for Chris Statlander? Because I mean, she's a
- 19:31Speaker 2: she's kind of a draw. You got to give her that.
- 19:34Speaker 2: What do we think is gonna happen?
- 19:36Speaker 10: I'm disappointed? Uh, I like Kill Statlander a lot better.
- 19:41Speaker 10: I think it's a disservice to her to keep on
- 19:43Speaker 10: switching her back and for she's on, she's gonna be
- 19:46Speaker 10: on page to turn more of the big show. So oh,
- 19:52Speaker 10: I that I want to see her go gets a title,
- 19:55Speaker 10: but money, I just I hope that the that's a
- 20:00Speaker 10: good pairing. I know stat landar can work, but I
- 20:02Speaker 10: don't know if Monay can hang with her.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Anybody else have an opinion on this?
- 20:10Speaker 1: Go ahead?
- 20:11Speaker 7: I've been saying it since the beginning. This was the
- 20:13Speaker 7: dumbest thing they've done in the women's division all year long,
- 20:17Speaker 7: because you turn somebody who has been there the longest,
- 20:22Speaker 7: done a lot of the work that during the time
- 20:25Speaker 7: when you had the end of Baker's reign and when
- 20:30Speaker 7: you had the fiasco with Cargill. It was that who
- 20:36Speaker 7: was counted on to carry the division when she had
- 20:38Speaker 7: the TVs title, and she did a hell of a job.
- 20:41Speaker 7: She's always done everything they ask, but yet she's the
- 20:43Speaker 7: one that seems to get put aside and everything else.
- 20:48Speaker 8: Like Baker's should be in new position to.
- 20:50Speaker 7: Get a title shot right now, Willow shouldn't be getting
- 20:54Speaker 7: the title shot because she just lost to Statlander. This
- 20:56Speaker 7: doesn't make any sense, and you know it. You know
- 21:01Speaker 7: everybody's frustrated with the way they do things. This is
- 21:03Speaker 7: frustrating for someone who's a fan of hers, because it
- 21:08Speaker 7: just doesn't make any sense what they're doing.
- 21:11Speaker 5: I ask you, guys, did you see the announcement of
- 21:15Speaker 5: why she broke up or why they broke up the
- 21:19Speaker 5: pairing of Stokely and Statlander. It's very conspicuous, but did
- 21:22Speaker 5: you guys see it?
- 21:23Speaker 1: Why?
- 21:24Speaker 11: No?
- 21:26Speaker 1: I did see it, but I don't remember it. To
- 21:28Speaker 1: be honest with.
- 21:29Speaker 4: You, I'll tell you.
- 21:30Speaker 5: I'll tell you it says there wasn't an option to
- 21:33Speaker 5: continue that story. That's bizarre.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I mean.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Exactly, they have.
- 21:42Speaker 7: They have stokely getting ready to be involved with private party.
- 21:47Speaker 7: That's what they're kind of playing towards because every time
- 21:50Speaker 7: they wrestle, he's watching them from somewhere. And I kind
- 21:54Speaker 7: of agree with that though, because it's a story that
- 21:58Speaker 7: really didn't make any sense in the first place.
- 22:02Speaker 5: It's one of those things though it didn't make sense,
- 22:04Speaker 5: but the fans liked it because it was unexpectedly good.
- 22:10Speaker 5: But my opinion is, I think like there's something big
- 22:15Speaker 5: brewing and it's gonna be evident all the way up
- 22:19Speaker 5: from the top of the roster, all the way down
- 22:22Speaker 5: to the mid card, all the way down to the bottom,
- 22:24Speaker 5: almost like battle lines are being drawn. And I feel
- 22:28Speaker 5: like Statlander and Monette, even though they just kind of
- 22:31Speaker 5: work with each other not too long ago, there's gonna
- 22:35Speaker 5: be a way different dynamic between the two of them
- 22:38Speaker 5: that could make it more compelling. Today's not a prediction show.
- 22:43Speaker 5: I'm not going to get into the details. Stay tuned
- 22:46Speaker 5: and maybe you'll hear them on Wednesday.
- 22:49Speaker 6: There's a war coming, guys, I.
- 22:54Speaker 10: Don't I want to feel good about it, but I've
- 22:58Speaker 10: just seen booking and I hope it's not what we'll
- 23:01Speaker 10: think it is.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Well, one of the things that you have to keep
- 23:05Speaker 2: in mind and do yourself a favor and go look
- 23:08Speaker 2: at the AW roster.
- 23:10Speaker 1: In the women's division, there are.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Very very very few babyfaces through babyfaces, there are a
- 23:19Speaker 2: lot of heels and quite a number of what I
- 23:21Speaker 2: would consider tweeters that can go kind of both ways.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Like sky Blue, I kind of she she kind of
- 23:27Speaker 2: has that you know, you know, but she goes she
- 23:33Speaker 2: could also be a babyface in the match, you know.
- 23:36Speaker 7: So she's a heel by association.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Yeah, But what I'm saying, even like Julia Hart, I
- 23:42Speaker 2: don't really consider Heal her true heel. She's done a
- 23:46Speaker 2: lot more heel work recently before her injury. But again
- 23:51Speaker 2: I don't think that. But here's the thing. Look at Stardom,
- 23:54Speaker 2: they have very few true heels and they have a babyfaces.
- 24:01Speaker 2: And I think that when I agree that there's a
- 24:05Speaker 2: war coming, and I think it's going to be a
- 24:07Speaker 2: war between AW and stardom and that's what's coming and
- 24:11Speaker 2: we'll have more on that on Wednesday night because I
- 24:14Speaker 2: think that we're going to see something going on there.
- 24:17Speaker 2: And that brings us to my next point. Tony Storm
- 24:20Speaker 2: just wrestled Mayu Iwatani for the IDWGP Women's World Championship
- 24:26Speaker 2: and won.
- 24:27Speaker 1: A match that was brutal.
- 24:30Speaker 2: That was brutal, and I mean Storm gave Iwatani four
- 24:38Speaker 2: Storm Zeros three in rapid succession and still couldn't get
- 24:42Speaker 2: the win over Iwatani. But after the match, Storm did
- 24:48Speaker 2: say that I can't really use the language that she
- 24:51Speaker 2: used because it's Tony Storm, but she did tell Iwatani
- 24:55Speaker 2: that she respected her, that she's the best IWGP with
- 25:00Speaker 2: men's champion of all time, and she told her that
- 25:05Speaker 2: she loved her. And now she says that she's got
- 25:10Speaker 2: Where am I going to go?
- 25:11Speaker 1: Now?
- 25:11Speaker 2: Well, we now know where she's going to go because
- 25:14Speaker 2: Friday night, Tony Storm is going to be facing Catalina
- 25:18Speaker 2: in Mexico for a CMLLL event. Of course, Russell Dream
- 25:24Speaker 2: is in Washington State on Saturday. I don't know if
- 25:28Speaker 2: Tony Storm is going to go from from Japan to
- 25:34Speaker 2: Mexico to to Wressell Dream and be Alive at that
- 25:40Speaker 2: point in the matter of like four days.
- 25:44Speaker 6: And Claudio did it kind of yeah.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah.
- 25:48Speaker 2: But my point is is that uh, Mayu Matani about
- 25:54Speaker 2: two weeks ago made a statement saying if I managed
- 25:58Speaker 2: to beat Tony Storm. She alluded to the fact that
- 26:02Speaker 2: her eyes are on Mariah may and she wants to
- 26:06Speaker 2: come to a w and face Mara. I think Tony
- 26:09Speaker 2: Storm going to to stardom for these last two or
- 26:17Speaker 2: three weeks has been a way of getting Mayoi Watani
- 26:20Speaker 2: to aw and to do the same thing that Tony
- 26:24Speaker 2: Storm just did. And hey, if Mariah may could beat
- 26:30Speaker 2: Mayue Watani, that's putting somebody over like nobody's business, because
- 26:37Speaker 2: Mayo Batani is by far, in my opinion, the best
- 26:41Speaker 2: women's wrestler in the world right now. I mean, and
- 26:44Speaker 2: for me it's not even close. Of course, then you
- 26:47Speaker 2: also have Mina Sharkawa that could be in the mix,
- 26:50Speaker 2: so you can see Mayui Awatani and Tony Storm tag
- 26:53Speaker 2: team against Mina and and Mariah. There's all kinds of
- 27:00Speaker 2: things that could go on. And we've also seen Anna
- 27:05Speaker 2: jay Is going over to Japan to participate in a
- 27:11Speaker 2: four way match to determine who goes after.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I believe the.
- 27:16Speaker 2: I think it may be the IWGP Women's Championship, but
- 27:19Speaker 2: it may be the Strong Championship. I'm not real sure
- 27:23Speaker 2: on that. And then you've had all kinds of things
- 27:27Speaker 2: going on with stardom stardom wrestler, specifically mess mentioning AW.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I think that when we eventually get to Wressell Dynasty
- 27:43Speaker 2: on January fifth, and possibly even Wressell Kingdom on January fourth,
- 27:47Speaker 2: We're gonna see a lot of AAW women against Stardom
- 27:49Speaker 2: women in those in those matches, I think we're gonna
- 27:52Speaker 2: be seeing an invasion on both sides over the next
- 27:57Speaker 2: three months leading up to Wrussell Dynasty and Russell Kingdom.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Uh So, what do you think is does Tony Storm
- 28:08Speaker 2: does she need to go after Mariah A right away?
- 28:11Speaker 2: Or what's the play here? What are you guys thinking
- 28:14Speaker 2: about what's next for Tony Storm specifically in a.
- 28:18Speaker 7: W That's a great question because the possibilities, sorry, the
- 28:29Speaker 7: possibilities are there, is just can they pull it off?
- 28:38Speaker 6: And what are those possibilities you've got?
- 28:41Speaker 8: You've got?
- 28:42Speaker 7: Okay, a lot of this could be leading to a war,
- 28:45Speaker 7: like Kelson said, but leading up to Dynasty and that
- 28:52Speaker 7: because it's the biggest problem that I'm gonna I have
- 28:54Speaker 7: with this that could be happening is the fact that
- 28:57Speaker 7: Tony does not He's as bad as what they were
- 28:59Speaker 7: in w They don't like to have their own people lose.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but let me let me break in here though
- 29:08Speaker 2: it's not Tony's decision. It's not Tony's decision because when
- 29:14Speaker 2: AW goes to Japan at the beginning of next year
- 29:20Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, Russell Kingdom January fourth, Russell Dynasty January fifth,
- 29:27Speaker 2: those are n jp W shows Tony Kahan is going
- 29:31Speaker 2: to have to swallow his pride here. Well, I'm not
- 29:36Speaker 2: here for it.
- 29:37Speaker 8: Right, And I wasn't really referring to that. I meant
- 29:39Speaker 8: I would.
- 29:40Speaker 7: I should have clarified that I was meaning when they
- 29:42Speaker 7: come here, he's you know, they they've proven with the
- 29:47Speaker 7: Forbidden Door that when they have their matches here, it
- 29:51Speaker 7: almost always ends up where the AW wrestler wins. And
- 29:55Speaker 7: that kind of defeats the purpose of war that I mean,
- 29:58Speaker 7: if you're gonna have you know, you'd have to send
- 30:00Speaker 7: them just as much over there as they come here
- 30:03Speaker 7: and you can figure it out that way. But it
- 30:05Speaker 7: just doesn't I mean, it would be a great thing
- 30:07Speaker 7: to see.
- 30:09Speaker 1: I just don't agree with it.
- 30:11Speaker 2: I'm just cautiously optimistic.
- 30:13Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean it's great and like I said,
- 30:16Speaker 7: the possibilities of.
- 30:17Speaker 8: That you've got, uh, the Deanna.
- 30:20Speaker 7: Prazzo faction that they're supposed to be putting together. There's
- 30:25Speaker 7: a lot of things that could be done with the
- 30:27Speaker 7: women's division.
- 30:30Speaker 8: The problem is it's not Tony's strong point.
- 30:34Speaker 7: And yes, they had a great time with RJ Citi's
- 30:37Speaker 7: handling of the Tony Storm around May, but that was
- 30:42Speaker 7: one that was one storyline that as soon as it
- 30:47Speaker 7: went off the rails, it went off the rails, right,
- 30:52Speaker 7: And that's not encouraging for what could happen and what
- 30:57Speaker 7: will happen.
- 31:00Speaker 2: You know another name that has been very visible in
- 31:02Speaker 2: the women's division that really has not had any direction
- 31:06Speaker 2: so to speak in the women's division. Uh, we've already
- 31:10Speaker 2: talked about Tony Storm. Where does she go?
- 31:12Speaker 6: Uh?
- 31:13Speaker 2: Just to continue asking on that is, where does Marina
- 31:16Speaker 2: Shafir go? Because she's not going to be just walking
- 31:20Speaker 2: around speaking ruts and rushing and beating up private party
- 31:24Speaker 2: and you know guys like that she is definitely going to.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Be in the match.
- 31:34Speaker 9: Oh, go ahead, Oh, I was saying, she's got she's
- 31:37Speaker 9: got that key. I was going to say something really silly.
- 31:46Speaker 7: To be honest, I kind of like her being that
- 31:49Speaker 7: muscle for the BCC or whatever the hell they're going
- 31:51Speaker 7: to call themselves, because I doubt they're going to call
- 31:53Speaker 7: themselves a BCC after they get their direction going.
- 31:57Speaker 8: But I kind of like that and.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Let all speak, because she kind of just ran right over.
- 32:03Speaker 6: No, no, no, Actually, you took the words out of
- 32:05Speaker 6: my mouth because I was going to say the exact
- 32:06Speaker 6: same thing, like we're thinking the same thing that I'm
- 32:09Speaker 6: actually okay with watching her do what she's doing because
- 32:13Speaker 6: I don't really have interest in seeing her in the
- 32:15Speaker 6: ring too much. Although she's okay, I guess in it,
- 32:18Speaker 6: but she still doesn't really have that personality for me.
- 32:21Speaker 6: And right now she's kind of developing that, like like
- 32:24Speaker 6: she's she looks like a threat even when she's in
- 32:27Speaker 6: there with with guys, you know, so I think that
- 32:30Speaker 6: adds layers to her. So I think I want to
- 32:32Speaker 6: see her do what she's doing now for the next
- 32:35Speaker 6: few months at least, and then we can see where
- 32:37Speaker 6: she can go from there.
- 32:39Speaker 10: She's she's really gonna have to, for me anyway, prove
- 32:42Speaker 10: that she can go in the ring because she has
- 32:44Speaker 10: a pass and not be able to hang with the
- 32:46Speaker 10: good wrestlers and make them look bad. I know they
- 32:51Speaker 10: had that spout with her and thunder Roast a long
- 32:54Speaker 10: time ago.
- 32:55Speaker 11: So she's gonna have to prove it.
- 32:56Speaker 10: And I don't think she's near ready to even get
- 32:59Speaker 10: in the inst of that. So hopefully she's worked with
- 33:02Speaker 10: mox Ley enough and and she can work good. But
- 33:06Speaker 10: but she looks good right now doing what she's doing.
- 33:09Speaker 10: But it's gonna be a time where she's gonna step
- 33:10Speaker 10: up and step into the ring with some of the
- 33:13Speaker 10: better ones. Hopefully she's better off than.
- 33:14Speaker 2: She was before. Anybody else have something to say about
- 33:23Speaker 2: Tony Storm or Marina Shafir or anything.
- 33:28Speaker 1: I mean about.
- 33:28Speaker 4: That kind of.
- 33:33Speaker 6: Go ahead, Wilf.
- 33:33Speaker 7: Sorry, well fuck mute, Yeah, I'm so sorry.
- 33:41Speaker 5: My uh anyway, No, I was just gonna say the
- 33:44Speaker 5: same thing pretty much. I like what Marina's doing right now.
- 33:48Speaker 5: I think that it's cool that she's kind of rubbing
- 33:50Speaker 5: elbows with.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Main inventors.
- 33:54Speaker 5: I think, I mean I think we have to give
- 33:57Speaker 5: her a chance before you know, I know she hasn't
- 33:59Speaker 5: really looked good in the past and like matches, but
- 34:03Speaker 5: I'm willing to give her a chance because this character
- 34:05Speaker 5: is compelling. As far as Tony's storm, I don't really
- 34:09Speaker 5: have an opinion. I don't want to, Like, I'm getting
- 34:12Speaker 5: tired of the Tony Storm Maria may feud myself, Like,
- 34:15Speaker 5: I think that's kind of not something I would really
- 34:18Speaker 5: want to look forward to seeing.
- 34:19Speaker 1: But would you agree that it's kind of open ended
- 34:23Speaker 1: right now?
- 34:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's open ended. I mean she could.
- 34:28Speaker 5: I mean, I guess it depends on what happens after
- 34:32Speaker 5: the next title defense, right, I mean, I have a
- 34:34Speaker 5: sense Maria ma is going to hold that belt for
- 34:36Speaker 5: a while. I think that Baker versus May is positioned
- 34:40Speaker 5: to put over Mariah maymore. But yeah, I'm sorry, Drake.
- 34:49Speaker 6: I was just gonna say something silly, like I always do.
- 34:52Speaker 6: I was just gonna say that twenty five is going
- 34:55Speaker 6: to be the year of Queen Amanada and hearing it,
- 34:57Speaker 6: you're hearing it here first, So that's all I got
- 35:00Speaker 6: to say.
- 35:00Speaker 2: I don't think that you're gonna get a lot of
- 35:02Speaker 2: people arguing about that though, Andre she had a lot
- 35:05Speaker 2: of people saying, hey, let's get Queen Almanada out there. Look,
- 35:10Speaker 2: r wh has, there's Athena, there's Billy Starks. You can
- 35:17Speaker 2: even argue for Red Velvet. She's doing so well over there.
- 35:23Speaker 2: A W has got some really interesting possibilities in their
- 35:27Speaker 2: women's division.
- 35:29Speaker 6: Yeah, but Queen Emanada is the one and only.
- 35:33Speaker 1: That is true.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Does anybody else find that ironic that she does the
- 35:39Speaker 2: one and only thing twice? It's like, so that would
- 35:43Speaker 2: that be the two in the second.
- 35:45Speaker 6: No, she just has to remind some people because people
- 35:47Speaker 6: have short term memories.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so, yeah, they might.
- 35:52Speaker 8: Have missed it.
- 35:54Speaker 2: I mean yeah, So we talked about this a little
- 36:00Speaker 2: a little bit last week.
- 36:01Speaker 1: We saw the return to j White.
- 36:04Speaker 2: We still got some people that are out injured or
- 36:08Speaker 2: on sabbatical. Fightful Select is reporting that we probably will
- 36:15Speaker 2: ceasewere Strickland this week coming back and Fightful Select also
- 36:21Speaker 2: is reporting that Adam Cole was backstage at Dynamite last
- 36:27Speaker 2: week hanging out with Britt Baker's family. I found that interesting,
- 36:33Speaker 2: but that's what was going on. So we may see
- 36:38Speaker 2: Adam Cole coming back. I mean Adam Copland's got to
- 36:44Speaker 2: be close to coming back.
- 36:47Speaker 6: I think Powerhouse Hobbes is ready to go to.
- 36:50Speaker 2: And Hobbs right, yeah, I mean there's a long list
- 36:53Speaker 2: of men and women. I mean, look, Julia Hart was
- 36:57Speaker 2: backstage and full wrestle gear uh last week backstage with
- 37:02Speaker 2: Brody King. I would not be surprised to see Julia
- 37:05Speaker 2: make appearance Russell Dream with Brody Gosh. I mean, thunder
- 37:11Speaker 2: Rossa may be close to coming back from her injury. Maybe,
- 37:13Speaker 2: I don't know, I've not heard anything about that, Gosh.
- 37:17Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many things going on. Were you
- 37:23Speaker 2: were your more important ones that you think should be
- 37:26Speaker 2: coming back that really would give a shot in the
- 37:29Speaker 2: arm to aw But go ahead, go ahead that with
- 37:34Speaker 2: what you were gonna say.
- 37:35Speaker 9: Oh I was I was just thinking, I'm sorry when
- 37:39Speaker 9: you were talking about people coming back. It's one of
- 37:44Speaker 9: us had alluded to something before about it seemed like
- 37:49Speaker 9: the managers of the different wrestlers were kind of lining
- 37:56Speaker 9: up to do something. And I remember Callous asked his
- 38:05Speaker 9: name is slipping my mind, but asked him if he
- 38:08Speaker 9: was still under management of Jake Roberts, Lance Archer, thank you,
- 38:14Speaker 9: And I think Lance Archer said, yeah, I am, and
- 38:19Speaker 9: Callous kind of said good to know or something like that,
- 38:23Speaker 9: and it just struck me like Callous was planning something.
- 38:29Speaker 2: And I don't think Archer answered him. I think he
- 38:31Speaker 2: just kind of scowled at him a walking away nook.
- 38:34Speaker 9: He said something he did. I rewound it to try
- 38:39Speaker 9: to hear what he said, and I thought he said
- 38:42Speaker 9: yeah or something. Maybe it was just kind of left
- 38:47Speaker 9: to question, but I kind of lost my train of thought.
- 38:54Speaker 9: But okay, so never mind, because I lost I lost
- 38:59Speaker 9: my train of thought.
- 39:00Speaker 4: Were sorry, It's okay. You were talking about the managers.
- 39:03Speaker 4: If it helps you, yeah, I don't know.
- 39:07Speaker 9: Yeah, him returning being a little bit more in the forefront,
- 39:12Speaker 9: I think that aligns with Powerhouse Hobbs coming back, and
- 39:17Speaker 9: I'm I'm wondering what Hobbes is going to do when
- 39:21Speaker 9: he gets back. Is he kind of just going to
- 39:23Speaker 9: be off by himself? If we all remember the Book
- 39:28Speaker 9: of Hobbes, he never quite finished reading that book and
- 39:32Speaker 9: tearing out pages. So you know, I'm wondering. You know,
- 39:38Speaker 9: I would like to see Hobbes come back in a
- 39:40Speaker 9: big way and do something really big. I like him
- 39:44Speaker 9: a lot. I think that he hasn't had his full potential,
- 39:49Speaker 9: been at his full potential, and I think there's something
- 39:52Speaker 9: big there for him. I don't I don't know, maybe
- 39:58Speaker 9: pairing up with Archer or something like.
- 40:01Speaker 5: I heard a rumor regarding Hobbs that they could potentially
- 40:08Speaker 5: put them with the Hurt Syndicate or Hurt Business, whatever
- 40:11Speaker 5: you want to call them, MVP faction, Oh yeah, because
- 40:16Speaker 5: Hobbs had posted something on his social media about needing
- 40:20Speaker 5: to find a new suit, so people are interpreting that
- 40:23Speaker 5: as possibility. Going back to the original topic, there's one
- 40:28Speaker 5: name that I think would probably slip most of your
- 40:31Speaker 5: mind that I'm looking forward to, and that's Bandido. I
- 40:35Speaker 5: think Bandido was something special before he had gotten her.
- 40:38Speaker 5: I think it was a wrist injury and and those
- 40:41Speaker 5: risk injuries they really seem to put these guys out
- 40:43Speaker 5: of action for a long time.
- 40:45Speaker 4: But he was, Yeah, he was somebody that.
- 40:48Speaker 5: I think we could probably maybe keep in mind because
- 40:52Speaker 5: I think he was supposed to be due back at
- 40:55Speaker 5: least earlier this year, so I could see that being
- 40:58Speaker 5: a possibility. And then also on the women's side, you also.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Have Tallo, you know, so oh yeah, oh yeah, it sucks.
- 41:10Speaker 5: That Sammy just got hurt again. You know, I hope
- 41:13Speaker 5: he's doing okay, but Tallow could be another person that
- 41:18Speaker 5: we can see as soon as Wreussell dream.
- 41:21Speaker 6: Those are both really good calls, like I would love
- 41:24Speaker 6: to see Ben Dido and I did forget about him
- 41:26Speaker 6: so here all right when you said he's kind of
- 41:28Speaker 6: forgotten because he's really good, but we didn't really see
- 41:32Speaker 6: much of him in a W before he got hurt.
- 41:34Speaker 6: And Tyme Ello, I've been missing her for like two
- 41:38Speaker 6: years now, however long she's been gone. I think that
- 41:40Speaker 6: Swerve should be back, and I think he should never
- 41:42Speaker 6: be allowed to go on vacation because I just I
- 41:45Speaker 6: just love him too much.
- 41:48Speaker 8: That's my good break, man.
- 41:53Speaker 6: He can have a break from Thursday to Friday. There,
- 41:56Speaker 6: that's just break.
- 41:59Speaker 1: What him was my supervisor.
- 42:02Speaker 7: There was an article that said, Jake the Snake is
- 42:04Speaker 7: coming back, not necessarily with Yeah, not necessarily with Lance Archer,
- 42:11Speaker 7: but that was what you know he said.
- 42:14Speaker 8: I can't remember. I thought it was posted in.
- 42:16Speaker 7: The a W fan not the fan hub but the
- 42:20Speaker 7: other one. And I saw it somewhere on Reddit today
- 42:24Speaker 7: and it was a little or it might have been
- 42:26Speaker 7: a news brief or something, but there was a little
- 42:28Speaker 7: interview and he said that he wants to come back,
- 42:31Speaker 7: that he's still there.
- 42:34Speaker 8: You know, they they've been.
- 42:36Speaker 7: There's been a lot of people saying stuff about who
- 42:38Speaker 7: might go with the Hurt Syndicate. But somebody that's still
- 42:42Speaker 7: part of a W as far as I know, who
- 42:44Speaker 7: I think would fit in real well, there would be Uh.
- 42:48Speaker 7: I just lost the big dude that came in from
- 42:52Speaker 7: a W.
- 42:56Speaker 8: Keith Lee.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Keith Lee.
- 43:00Speaker 8: In a from Yeah, that's that's what he did, you know.
- 43:05Speaker 7: But I think it would be an awesome set to
- 43:07Speaker 7: put into that group. There's a lot of guys it
- 43:10Speaker 7: could go into that group they how about.
- 43:12Speaker 6: Bobby Lashley, Keith Lee and Powerhouse Hawks.
- 43:15Speaker 8: That would be one hell of a team.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Don't forget Benjamin.
- 43:22Speaker 7: Yeah, he's no, no, no, no, Shelton Sheldon's the best of
- 43:28Speaker 7: the three.
- 43:29Speaker 9: So amazing he.
- 43:34Speaker 6: Is.
- 43:37Speaker 1: So you got to get people other people a chance
- 43:39Speaker 1: to talk here.
- 43:40Speaker 10: Sorry a lot As you mentioned Calson, I really am
- 43:45Speaker 10: interested in Adam Cole coming back.
- 43:47Speaker 11: Uh. I want to see where they're going to pick
- 43:49Speaker 11: off story wise.
- 43:50Speaker 10: From him, because last we've seen him, he he he
- 43:53Speaker 10: was in a few was m j F and I
- 43:54Speaker 10: don't know how they're going to manage that back in there.
- 43:58Speaker 10: He's a good guy who's had some severely bad luck,
- 44:01Speaker 10: and I want to see where they're going to put
- 44:03Speaker 10: him because he deserves to be.
- 44:04Speaker 11: Whether it's just I.
- 44:06Speaker 10: Don't know, because if Wardlow comes back, I don't know
- 44:08Speaker 10: what he's dealing with. But there's so much involved with
- 44:11Speaker 10: Adam Cole that I really am. I'm excited to see
- 44:14Speaker 10: what exactly they had planned for him, because he was
- 44:16Speaker 10: such a big piece to aw there for a while.
- 44:19Speaker 2: I just felt they don't try to use Adam called
- 44:21Speaker 2: the resurrect the Unnecessary Kingdom. Oh Lord, don't big mistake?
- 44:27Speaker 2: Oh no, but you know we just we mentioned Bobby Lashley.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Obviously it looks like he's going to be part of
- 44:36Speaker 2: a w sooner than later, and he has.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Would you bring him back?
- 44:43Speaker 2: Would you bring him in tomorrow night ahead of Russell
- 44:46Speaker 2: Dream or would you wait for Russell Dream?
- 44:49Speaker 9: I wait?
- 44:54Speaker 6: I would wait for Russell Dream only because it's pretty
- 44:58Speaker 6: obvious for a weekly a watcher that he's coming in,
- 45:02Speaker 6: so you don't really need to advertise him officially. I
- 45:04Speaker 6: think everyone's kind of expecting him already, so yeah, I
- 45:07Speaker 6: would save him for Russell Dream.
- 45:10Speaker 2: I'd actually like to see him come back before Russell
- 45:12Speaker 2: Dream and have Adam Copeland come back at Russell Dream
- 45:17Speaker 2: and maybe Adam Cole come back at Russell Dream.
- 45:20Speaker 1: That would be great for me.
- 45:23Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 45:23Speaker 10: I think Swerve is going to call out her syndicator,
- 45:26Speaker 10: whatever it's going to be, and Lashly's going to come
- 45:29Speaker 10: out and start a program with those two.
- 45:34Speaker 6: So I was thinking we might have a match between Shelton,
- 45:37Speaker 6: Benjamin and Swerve, and because Shelton can take a loss,
- 45:41Speaker 6: he's not really a huge name, you know, and then
- 45:44Speaker 6: Lashly can debut and attack Swerve and get a lot
- 45:47Speaker 6: of heal heat from the home crowd.
- 45:52Speaker 9: I don't like the way that they've been bullying Prince Nana.
- 45:55Speaker 9: I think he he should be treated much better.
- 46:00Speaker 6: So he wanted to fight m v P last week,
- 46:03Speaker 6: so maybe, yeah, maybe they could do a tag match
- 46:08Speaker 6: and Shelton and m v P against Swerve and Nana.
- 46:12Speaker 9: I've been talking real spicy.
- 46:17Speaker 2: That would actually that would actually fit into this Russell
- 46:21Speaker 2: Dream card.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Andre.
- 46:23Speaker 6: Yeah, any people like Nana on the card, yes, might
- 46:28Speaker 6: as well in the match.
- 46:33Speaker 9: Nigel up there again.
- 46:36Speaker 4: The cost guy he signed a deal for against G G.
- 46:42Speaker 11: Marshall.
- 46:43Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's that should be the main event of
- 46:45Speaker 6: Wressell dream too.
- 46:48Speaker 2: Yeah, don't forget Russell dreams could be Russell nightmares too.
- 46:51Speaker 2: They're still dreams.
- 46:52Speaker 9: Is anyone hoping to see Eddie Kingston or is it
- 46:55Speaker 9: just me?
- 46:58Speaker 1: It's got to be just you.
- 47:01Speaker 9: It's not, thank you, it's not just me Kelson, Oh.
- 47:10Speaker 11: No, thank you.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been uh.
- 47:14Speaker 11: I mean I just want to see the outrunners.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Thank god.
- 47:21Speaker 11: They're popular.
- 47:22Speaker 10: I'm sorry Kelson, you can not like them. But their
- 47:25Speaker 10: little skip they did with F t R I saw
- 47:27Speaker 10: was hilarious.
- 47:28Speaker 9: That had me in tears. They died Tax's mustache.
- 47:37Speaker 6: They're becoming the new they acclaimed. Their rise seems to
- 47:40Speaker 6: be pretty similar.
- 47:43Speaker 2: I did not see their promotion. I have not seen
- 47:46Speaker 2: them Muscle in a couple of months.
- 47:49Speaker 9: You're missing out.
- 47:52Speaker 11: Don't be a stick in the mud.
- 47:53Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean they've they're in the Kingston and Jericho
- 47:59Speaker 13: thing vortex and as soon as the Brothers come on
- 48:06Speaker 13: the Order Jericho or or any or Roderick Strong, the
- 48:12Speaker 13: the whatever, the channel gets changed.
- 48:16Speaker 6: I hear you're knocking it without trying it.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I can't. I tried it. I think it sucks.
- 48:26Speaker 11: It's so great about it. You can't tell me that you.
- 48:32Speaker 6: You can't tell me that the predator spot doesn't pop
- 48:35Speaker 6: you every time, because I wat my ass off every time.
- 48:39Speaker 1: What the hell is the predator spot? Okay?
- 48:42Speaker 6: There have you seen Predator with Schwarzenegger?
- 48:47Speaker 1: Of course everybody has.
- 48:48Speaker 2: That's like you like welve oscars or something like that.
- 48:53Speaker 6: I mean cop the outrunners. They so one of the
- 48:59Speaker 6: during the match, when their opponent is down, one of
- 49:01Speaker 6: the outrunners goes turbo Floyd, you son of a bitch,
- 49:05Speaker 6: and then they shake their hands and do an elbow
- 49:07Speaker 6: drop and it's hilarious.
- 49:08Speaker 2: I may have seen I may have seen it two
- 49:11Speaker 2: or three months ago when I stopped before I stopped watching.
- 49:18Speaker 6: Chair from laughing.
- 49:19Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a masterpiece.
- 49:21Speaker 2: Why I will I am I am prone. I am
- 49:26Speaker 2: prone to falling out of my chair.
- 49:29Speaker 1: I will admit that.
- 49:30Speaker 11: Do you pressurer LFE alert button? What do you pressure
- 49:35Speaker 11: a life alert button?
- 49:37Speaker 2: The life alert that has I'm wait ups has not
- 49:42Speaker 2: delivered that yet, and I've getting.
- 49:44Speaker 1: A little bit of lift.
- 49:47Speaker 2: Yeah, so so we have look, let's just say, let's
- 49:51Speaker 2: look at the Hurt Syndicate, because that's what it's going
- 49:53Speaker 2: to be called. They did trademark that hurt syndicate. Let's
- 50:00Speaker 2: say maybe we can agree on m v P, Shelton Benjamin,
- 50:05Speaker 2: Bobby Lashley obviously, maybe throw in a Powerhouse Hobbs, maybe
- 50:10Speaker 2: throwing Lee who by the way, Fightful Select did write
- 50:14Speaker 2: an article yesterday about Keith Lee and said that he's
- 50:19Speaker 2: he's not cleared yet, he's done and they eluded and
- 50:23Speaker 2: it says they they didn't say as much, say as much,
- 50:27Speaker 2: but they didn't say. The way it was kind of
- 50:29Speaker 2: worded is like he's not even close.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Don't wait, I don't think.
- 50:34Speaker 6: I don't think is going to come back ever.
- 50:36Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be a shame. What do we think?
- 50:41Speaker 2: Who would who would have hurt syndicated that. Let's just
- 50:44Speaker 2: say that it's Bobby Lashley, m v P and Powerhouse Hobbes.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Baby. Who do they go after? Who's their feudally.
- 50:56Speaker 6: Undispeated kingdom?
- 50:59Speaker 1: Oh?
- 51:01Speaker 2: Why?
- 51:03Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 51:04Speaker 11: Just just a job, just a job of crap out
- 51:06Speaker 11: of them.
- 51:07Speaker 1: Just God, that would be please.
- 51:16Speaker 11: Versus syndicate.
- 51:19Speaker 1: Yeah, well they gotta go.
- 51:26Speaker 11: Would be great.
- 51:29Speaker 10: I think the sports is going to find some people
- 51:31Speaker 10: to work with them on the on the Hurt syndicate,
- 51:35Speaker 10: who who? I don't know. It won't be Hangman, but
- 51:38Speaker 10: I don't know who it would be. But he'll find
- 51:40Speaker 10: some partners in crime.
- 51:44Speaker 6: Yeah, uh, they go after the Learning Tree or maybe
- 51:48Speaker 6: even l.
- 51:49Speaker 1: FI that would be really good.
- 51:56Speaker 10: Is Beast Motos with them now or is that just to.
- 52:01Speaker 1: I think?
- 52:03Speaker 2: Yeah, which means it means that Ruche is not with
- 52:11Speaker 2: Don not even Leo Rushe either.
- 52:13Speaker 1: It's not with the Don Kallis family.
- 52:19Speaker 2: Well, last week I was having a big problem distinguishing
- 52:23Speaker 2: between Leo Rush and Rush. I don't know. I just
- 52:26Speaker 2: it's Leo Rouge from there now on. You know what
- 52:30Speaker 2: I'm talking about?
- 52:33Speaker 1: You know what? You know who this idiot is talking about.
- 52:36Speaker 9: They should be in the new tag team champs.
- 52:49Speaker 2: Well, look, like I said, I'm hoping that Wolf brought
- 52:55Speaker 2: it up. I hope that this is a story driven week,
- 52:58Speaker 2: including the pay per view, we get some good matches
- 53:02Speaker 2: announced tomorrow night. For the pay per view, Zero Hour
- 53:06Speaker 2: probably needs one or two more matches. The pay per
- 53:09Speaker 2: view itself probably needs a good two or maybe even
- 53:12Speaker 2: three matches, and I think they're good ones. I want
- 53:16Speaker 2: to see something that like begins something. But look, that's
- 53:20Speaker 2: a viable that's not predictable. I want to see something
- 53:23Speaker 2: unpredictable and don't forget that on Wednesday night at eight
- 53:27Speaker 2: thirty pm Eastern Time on our discord, and again we
- 53:30Speaker 2: are going to be putting the links to our discord
