  Speaker 1: All engine running.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Agnition with the AAW fanhob podcast team. This is Kelson.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot to talk about tonight. We're gonna
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: talk about what's going on in the Continental Classic, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of course we've got to talk about the AAW Women's
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: World Tag Team Tournament. Who do we think is gonna win?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Babes A Wrath, Timeless Love Bombs, to give some opinions
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: about the uh, what's going on with the Warner Brothers
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Discovery takeover, And of course at the end of the show,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do our popea resection, which is always fun.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: But we are going to start the show with the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: AEW Fat Hub AEW Awards. We've done this, this is
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: our third year doing it. It's always a lot of fun.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: What we're gonna do here is we're gonna take nominations
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: from the crew here and if you're in Chat or
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: if you're on Twitter or one of our other social media's,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you can leave your nominations there. Here's the deal. In
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: each category, you can only nominate one wrestler, one wrestler only.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Do not come up with more than one because it's
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: just you know, you don't want to name the entire roster.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Let's do one at a time. So let's get started.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: We're gonna start with the Men's Wrestler of the Year,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and with this at all the other categories. I do
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: want to caution everybody on the panel and also anybody
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that's going to be voting online or in chat, try
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to avoid two things. Try to avoid recency bias. You know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: just because Samoa Joe is the aw Men's World Champion
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean that he's the Men's Wrestler of the Year.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Somebody else may have been more deserving of it, is
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. We're not going by here and now,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: we're going by the entire year of twenty twenty five.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: That's basically. And also the second thing is keep in
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: mind that some wrestlers, even though they may be your favorites,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: some of them may have not either been wrestling that much,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: or they've been because of injuries and whatnot and have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: missed most of the year. Is a good example of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that would be I don't know, a good example that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: would be MJF. Really I mean, not that he was injured,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: but he's been filming, you know, all of these movies
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that, so you know, keep that into consideration.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: All right, So let's get started. We're gonna start with
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the a W Men's Wrestler of the Year. Let's hear
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: your single nominations. Let's go to eb K first.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna say Kyle Fletcher. He's done a lot,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: he's he's got titles and everything, and he's definitely step
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: up his game.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to Homsore.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Since I'm sure somebody is gonna pick the big guy,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go a little deeper cut and actually pick
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Kazuko Kata. Since the weather's warmed up, he has been
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: on fire since about April or so. I think this
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: is kind of the year he's shown that he's a
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: solid investment for ADEW.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Now I'm interested. After we get through all the h nominations,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna come back to you ham Soure and ask
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you was the big guy picked. Don't say who the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: big guy is but now, but I want to make
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: sure that the big guy was picked. Barry. Let's go
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Uh, maybe this is the big guy. I'd say it's mos.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I know people ragged on the death writers' storyline, but
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: he's consistently delivered all year without being injured and big
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: time matches, getting mid card things going all sorts of
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: smaller storylines. He's every bit acted like the age of
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: the company this year.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, Chris, let's go to you.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I missed a little because someone decided to
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: call me right as the show was starting, even though
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: they know I do this every Tuesday. Who has picked already?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So we've had Mox, we've had Okada, and we've had Fletcher.

• 5:00
  Speaker 6: say what the pick? This is for men's Wrestler of
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: the year.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Right, that is correct? Yeah, Women's Wrestler of the Year.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And you'd said hang man, we would have laughed at you. Well,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I wanted to.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Be completely shared. Hey, I don't know how he identifies.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Sudden. Let's go to you on this one.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: I got a pause on this one because everybody already
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: picked Amine.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I will then put my pick in. As
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Kano Skate Takeshta, I gotta go with I gotta go
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: with with Takeshida, as somebody called him on a podcast
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and it cracked me up. Uh So, there you go.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Those are our picks for the men's Wrestlers of the Year.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: We don't have Do we have anybody in chat making
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: any picks yet? No? Okay, so I'm sorry. By the way, Okay,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: hom Sore was the big guy picked.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Homsre blog screen went on page. I just assumed somebody
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: would pick Page.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Don't assume because it come up and bite in the ass.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: You're gonna vote on this. He almost had to have
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Page at least on the ballot. He was the world
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: champ for a large russion of the year.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Well, let's go to women's Wrestler of the Year. I'm
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: gonna go to Sutton first on this one.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Chris Statlander.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: She's Statlander.
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: Okay, she had a great year.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: She's the champ now, and she deserved to be the
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: champ because she did a lot of stuff for these
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: guys this year.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: All right, Chris, let's go to you.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: I like the stat Lander. I'm gonna go with Tony.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Tony Storm, all right, okay, let's go to you.
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: It's Mercedes Money. She's done a lot for people.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: She's putting people over now finally, and I think it's
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: well worth putting her on there.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, and let's go to Barry.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: Beck left.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: She's been a breath of fresh air to the women's division,
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: brought a lot of juice and a lot of energy,
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: and it's just been really fun to watch.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: And Homsar the first three are definitely we're my main fixs.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: But I would say we got to put a teena
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: on the list. Her match out put's been unbelievable since
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: the Ginning of the year, continues to be one of
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: the best talents on either side of the AW roster.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yep, Okay, well, gee, you guys took every one of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: mine out there, so I'm gonna do it. By the way,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: this is ae W and r oh, so adding somebody
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: like Athena is absolutely fine because our oh compliment accomplishments
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: do count. I should have pointed that out earlier. I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: gonna say, well, hmmm, I'm gonna say Megan Baine. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: think that since she's come in, she's been a workhorse,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: since she's really elevated the division. I think that people
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: look forward to seeing her. I really do so that's it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: That's my pick. Let's move on again. You know, keep
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: in mind that there are r oh factions in this
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: as well. But I'm gonna I'm gonna skip right to
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Faction of the Year. I'm gonna lead the tag team
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of the Year for a little bit later. Let's go
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to the Faction of the Year. What I consider a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: faction is any group of three or more, not including
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: managers and other words with say, somebody like F t R.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Stokely doesn't make him a faction. He's just a manager.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: Agreed?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that they have to wrestle, you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: have a serious wrestling match to be able to be
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: considered a faction. Okay, so Faction of the Year, let's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: go to Uh, I'm gonna go to Berry first on
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: this one.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: I'm going with Brodido. They kicked off kind of the resurgence.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Let me let me uh, let me stop you there.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Uh we're in fashion. Yeah, yeah, all right, I'm gonna pass.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: I'm I don't have a pick.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You got to have raise raise your hand or grunt
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: or something if you do have one. After he goes, so,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: let's I'm gonna go to hamsar oh Man.
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: That's a tough one. I actually didn't write anything down.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I guess I'm just gonna go ahead and pick Death
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Writers because I feel like since about well, I don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: know when the turn after this word match, I feel
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: like their program has been really great since then, So
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: I think for most that would give us nine months
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: or so out.
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: Of the year that they were really really good. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: I think they've been in that positive So I'm gonna
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: pick that writers.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Chris.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: I actually would have gone Death Writer. You know, I've
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: been not a fan of the whole interference thing they do,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: but I can't deny the success they so I would
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: have picked them. Might going with a sort of left
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: field pick and say Shane Taylor Promotions. I don't keep
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: up with r awaits as much of my life, but
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: I know they've been doing some great things down there.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: They have the three to ohs or six Man's tied. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go, say Tyler Promo.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to MKH.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: The Triangle of Madness is what it's called. Yes, yeah,
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: I think.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: They've really gelled together. I really hope more success comes
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: to their way, but they've they've done an excellent job,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: And Suddon Conglomeration, the the conglomeration, Okay.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: You're just they're just some. That's some of the funniest
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: stuff going on the show right now when they're there.
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: So I kind of liked them. Okay, I gotta tell
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: some Go ahead, Barry.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I am actually shocked nobody said this the don Callus.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Family, Thank you so much.
• 11:47
  Speaker 10: Take your like, like.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I had another one behind that, but but just nobody calls.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Family because of legal stuff and an injury. Like it's absurd.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: So all right, go ahead, gil Sidira.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go to Hurt Syndicate. I could pick
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: them confidently because MVP does wrestle, uh, but I think
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the Hurt Syndicate, you know, we should belong in this.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Let's then move on, Barry. Okay, we'll go to the
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Tag Team of a Year and I'll let you go first.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: As I was saying, Broddo, they brought a breath of
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: fresh air into the Tag division and it was a
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: win that was really fun and not really expected by
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: most people.
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: They had a.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Really, really fun run and I was I'm really glad
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: I got to watch that this year. It just it
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: was really fun.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's go to something since his mic
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: is open.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with the Yes Speed.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: I like what they do.
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: I think they're going to be the future of the
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: Tag team division and I like them a lot.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: All right, Okay, let's go to you.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: It surprises me to say this, but I really think
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: it needs to go to the gum Bucks. They they
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: that I'm not sure if they're heel or face honestly anymore.
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: They really deserve it because they've been able.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: To make them if people laughing then and they they've
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: really won me over this year.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, Uh, let's go to Homsar.
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I was gonna pick the gum Books too, but I'm
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: gonna go with FTR. I feel like and stokely shored
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: up their weakest point, which was listening to Dicks on
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: the mic too much. He brings a lot of variety,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: and I think they're working. The ring speaks for itself,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: and I think they're gonna go on a really good
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: run here with the Tag Belt the end of the year.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, Chris is you're gonna go up first
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: on the next one. I'm gonna let you go last
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: on this one.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Well so.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: I have the whole thing I was gonna be like
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: today is the greatest thing of my life. Yeah, I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: gonna have to pass because honestly, everyone picked the teams
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: I would have picked, Like, there's no other teams that
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: really stick out to me besides the ones that have
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: already been mentioned.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I'm just gonna just just to throw
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: it to the win. I'm gonna say, uh, timeless love Bombs.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Even though they really haven't been a team that long,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I think that they've made an impact. They've been, you know,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: greater than the ring. They're in the finals of the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Women's World Tag Team Tournament, and they're Their interviews and
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: backstage shenanigans have been really good. So you know, here's
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the up year signal to everybody from the tipland slub bombs.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: All right, Chris, most improved wrestler of the year. You've
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: been waiting with baited breath, Thank you for your patience.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Hit us with your shocking surprise pick.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Jungle Jack Perry. I know he hasn't really, I mean,
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: he's been out for most of the year, but the
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: the change not back to his old gimmick, but going
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: back to that and blending it with you know what,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: he had his escape goat. I think it's just completely
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: revitalized his character. And I am really and as much
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: as it sucks that Darby is out of the Continental Classic,
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: I'm really excited to see what Jack Perry will do
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: in there. And I think he has a I think
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: he has a big twenty twenty six in store. Oh yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Jack Parry.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go to ab k.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Megan Bang. I really think first she
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: was a little unsteady when she came in, but she's
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: really hit it good. She's she's good good in that
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: tag campionship. So I really think it's her.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: All right, and let's go to something then. Harley Cameron.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: She's improved a ton this year and I really think
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: that she's gonna be someone to watch in the next
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: few years.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Our winner of the award last year was Harley Cameron,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: and so she's being nominated to before to have improved
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: even beyond that. Interesting. I'm gonna go to Homoswarp.
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: Oh, I uh, he's good.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Picks. I like the Perry pick. I'd just been talking
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: about how sharp his work has looked since he's come back.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: It's really he looks almost like a different guy. But
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I am gonna pick a little bit of a controversial pick,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: and probably a lot of people's picked last year, which
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: is kind of Fletcher. Kyle Fletcher's a guy that I've
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: always kind of liked, well, I've respected as a wrestler,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: and I liked his improvement, but I've never really liked
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: too much go go a lot of like young will
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Osprey in there. But this year he has really kind
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: of learned to sell and slow down matches, and I've
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: just been insanely impressed. Like I'm totally with the people
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: who last year were saying that Kyle Fletcher is a
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: future world champ. I think he's he's really become a
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: top guy in a class guy in this company.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Now, all right, and let's go to Barry Queen Aminada.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Sometimes there's a performer that just kind of sits it
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: up a little category and for one reason or another, you.
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: Can just watch him put it all together.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: There's been a couple picks that kind of meet that
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: that some folks have already said. And I really think
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: when she comes out there. She feels like a big
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: name now and I'm looking forward to her when she's
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: coming back from injury, getting right back in the thick
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: of things and hopefully got on for our first title.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go with brody King and that's it's
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: kind of a controversial pick, but he's always been good.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say that he wasn't believe me,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: but his partnership with Brodido has brought out another side
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: to him and I just think that it has improved him,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: not only in the ring, which he's doing did things
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: in the ring now that he has not done in
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: the past where has not done that often, but also
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: as far as just character. Even though he was in
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: the House of Black, which was all character driven, brody
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: King just seems like an improved version of himself.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: He got over organically. I mean it was gorgeous to
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: watch he own.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Now, next, I want to go to, frankly, two of
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: my favorite categories, and we're gonna start with Babyface of
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the Year Year and Barry. I'm gonna go to you first.
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: Oh, this is a good one. I wasn't prepared for this.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: I was focusing on Heel of the Year, baby Face
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: of the Year.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna go with one of the folks
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: that said most improved wrestler of the year, one of
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: the one of the quick picks.
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with Harley Cameron on this.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: She has quickly established herself this year as the fan
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: favorite incapable of ever not being over. It doesn't matter
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: if she loses and she comes out and she's she
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: has that will Osprey good guy feeling, you know, I mean,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: clearly not the same with the ring, but she's just
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: she just is great when she's out there. You just
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: you just want to low her and eat her up.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go to m K.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say, Kyle O'Reilly, he's really done good.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: He made a believer out of me. I think really
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: him getting away from Adam Cole and being his own
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: person and being and Para gone has really helped him
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: a bunch. And he doesn't need anybody else. He's funny organically,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: and he's a good wrestler.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, uh, Homsar, what do you say?
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think there's some great picks.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I I'm gonna pick maybe the guy who I think
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: is kind of getting the big react right now, which
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: is Kevin Knight, guy that has come from being kind
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: of a big player in New Japan but putting in
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: some really great work in the junior's division to really
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: I think me and c is kind of one of
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: the the big young stars of the company, and he's
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: incredibly over at the live crowd.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: All right, and uh, let's go to Sutton.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: I really don't have a pick here. You guys have
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: said the ones I was thinking, So I got a pass.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: All right, what about you, Chris?
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: Uh? I have two that I really liked that I
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: think are good Night.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: I was between him and Willow.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go Astree, Okay, okay something. You don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: have a pick then, right? Yeah? No pick baby Face
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: of the Year. This is tough because I tend with me.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I like the baby faces who were tweeterers basically, you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: like on the edge, like I always loved mal Kai
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Black for that reason, I'm gonna go Swerve Strickland, even
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: though he's a good guy that does bad things and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I love that about Swerve. Let's go to Heal of
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: the Year something. Since you didn't have a pick this
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: last time, I'm gonna go to you.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Don't callous.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: There's not a bigger heal on aw than Don't Callous.
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: That's great kick.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so glad you did that. I agree. Well,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: let's let's go to Let's go to Chris.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: I would argue there might be one bigger heal than
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: John Kallas.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Moxley, John Moxley. And by the way, Net has arrived,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and Net, what we are talking about. We are nominating
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: one person each mm hmm, and we're on Heel of
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the Year, so I'll give you a few seconds to
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: think about it. And then we've already nominated John Moxley,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: and we've already nominated Don Kallis uh and and now
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I can't remember who are who picked uh? Sutton and
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: who else? Okay, all right, so let's go to Barry.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Since he was concentrating on heal the year when we
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: were doing I'm.
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: Surprised nobody got my guy, So I'm going with.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: It.
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: Has been just so much.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Fun to watch him this year establish such a great
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: character that he is so comfortable in. He's working with
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: the gates of agony and the demand. It's just he
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: is the perfect mid card to upper mid card, top
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: heel that can play at the at the main event
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: scene whenever they need him to plug and play like
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: he is just in a great position.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Now I can't argue with you there. Who else is left? Mkay?
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: Oh crap, I just lost it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: Mercedes Monette.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, she's the one person everybody wants to
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: lose those titles. She does a great job at being
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: a you know, she's kind of one dimensional, I will
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: say that, but she does a great job at playing
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: the hill and she's put over a lot of people.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: She put over stat and she just got done putting
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: over Red Veil, but which I didn't see coming.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, uh hopswar, let's go to you.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man, that's a that's a tough one. He got
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: mine right there at the end. I'm gonna pick I
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: think I'm gonna actually pick Pack because I think going
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: forward out of the Death Riders, he's kind of the
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: guy I feel like who has a lot of momentum.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: He's insanely jack. Now I'm the only really questioned mark
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: is his injury with him, So you know, I think
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: he's gonna go ham next year. But I also think
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: his work from this year has been exceptional minus a
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: little bit of miss time as his usual.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, that here is your opportunity to shine.
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: All right, everyone, my pick for Heel of the Year.
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: It's two people, but they go together.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: It's ft No, no, no, don't okay, yeah, we can
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: do Yeah, it's a TV have two people.
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: No, they go together. I'd have to give it to FTR.
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: And that is because I.
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: Don't think anyone wanted to see them win the tag
• 25:13
  Speaker 11: titles again. And they are universal harassers of everyone. They
• 25:20
  Speaker 11: don't have a nice thing to say to anybody. They
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: bother the people in the crowd, the fans, they're just
• 25:28
  Speaker 11: they're the worst.
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: For me.
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: That's my pick.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, well my pick, and I am not only shocked,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I'm disappointed at each and every one of you for
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: not picking this person because they don't even have to
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: do anything and they get hated. And that's Wheeler you to.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: How could you guys leave Wheeler?
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: You to out of the good people.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Don't hate him because you hate him because he's a little.
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: He figured that out, man figured it out. He figured
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: it out.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: You could say what you want about his wrestling ability
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: or whatnot. And you're right, Berry, he figured it out.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even have to say it or do anything.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: He just walks like if you so, it's so underrated.
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: People don't get it like he's like so much.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: He's like, yes, everything you hate about him, he figured
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: it out.
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: He figured it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Out, you know what. And I will say this about
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Wheeler Yuta if he was one of the people that
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: would go to like w W E or t NA
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: or wherever people be like, oh man, I'm gonna miss
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: call you know, saying fu you to to everybody. But
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: let's move on. Uh, this is a fun category. It's
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: our last category, character work of the Year, and I'm
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: gonna go to NET first. This one.
• 27:02
  Speaker 12: Okay, character work of the year.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: Let's see.
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: I would probably have to give it to Tony Storm.
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: She's just been phenomenal. But if we yeah, if we
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: have to pick one, I would have to say Tony Storm.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to MK.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Megan Baine. She's become a beast. Like
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: I love watching her entrance. I wish they want to
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: make it better where where like it used to be
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: when she was on Dark with people coming down. But
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: she's she's really good at what she does. She sells
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: being a beast, and she does it really well.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: All Right, I'm sore. Let's go to you got on
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you give.
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: Me a second on this one. I just headed in
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: my head and I lost it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well then let's go to Bear.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: All right, I kind of get gave a preview of
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: this one. But I'm going with Wheeler Yuda. Like I
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: was saying, this year, he just he really figured it
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: out on how to be just a great heel with
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: doing as little as possible to get heat. He just
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: he makes you hate him and all of the right ways.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: That just tells you he knew what. He just figured
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: it out. He knows what to do in the ring,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: how to take pins the right way if he's if
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: he's getting pinned, how to just get the cheap heat
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: and the little sniffling eye. He's just so good. I
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: just all of his heel work this year, it just
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: was so good.
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: It was just so good.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Chris.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Uh Tony Storm would have been my top pick, and
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: I gotta get very like what he said about you
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: to its spot on. You know he's but yeah, he's
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: on that. So I'm gonna go with Oh Tata.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bitch, that's a good choice. That's a great choice.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Uh The I pushed the wrong button is the line
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: of the year, so funny.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, let's all do let's do all yeah, let's
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: all together. Now, let's do our racist Japanese.
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: That's funny. He's making that such a good gag.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to you.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Ricochet because, uh, Ricochet has quickly
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: made himself one of the most hated people. Not quite
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: on the level of Uta or Don Kallas, but he's
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: up there and his obnoxiousness and everything, he has got
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: that worked out almost perfect.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I guess hang, I'm sorry, go ahead, Yeah, all.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Right, I'm gonna vote. I'm gonna vote the Ace Adam
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Page on this one. Man, I feel like we have
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: lacked like a Babyface Run where somebody actually kept the
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: advantage over the Heel team. I know he lost in
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: the end, Man, he really did a good job kind
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: of fighting off the odds and overcoming and kind of
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: turning Babyface Run into not looking like a schmuck constantly,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: which is such a breath fresh air just for the
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: main events scene in general.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, my pick, I didn't miss anybody, did I I
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: didn't think. I did proud of myself that I went
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: through this whole thing and didn't leave anybody out. My
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: pick is really easy for me. The entrance music alone
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: does it for me, not to mention just the the
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: heat that he gets and of course his wrestler introduction,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: it's don Kallis is the character work of the year
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: for me. Guys, that was a lot of fun. See
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna do is, uh, we're going to pick.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: We're going to commensurate and we're going to pick out
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: of all these picks, We're going to pick four in
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: each category, and then we will put them up for
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: a poll next week on the socials for the aw
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: fan Hub and the community will be able to vote
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: until probably like December twenty ninth or something like that,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: when we will reveal the aw fat Hubs prestigious by
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the way, the prestigious aw Fat Hub Awards. So be
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: on the lookout in the next few days for the
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: polls to be up. We'll put them up on Reddit,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: we'll put them up on you know to vote for
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: a Blue Sky and Twitter and of course our discord
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: and if you look at if you're watching this, you
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: can see on the screen, the discord, the discord, oh
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: my god, the invite link book. God, we kind of
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: figure it out, Woo woo, and then we'll get these
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: things done. Okay, we're going to move on. We're not
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: going to really talk about the matches that are upcoming,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: but we are going to talk about what's been going
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: on with the Continental Classic. I just wanted to ask,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: you know, is there anything that you see that has
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: stood out? And by the way, again for people that
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: are watching this and not on Spotify and listening to
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: it there or you know, on the podcast things the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: graphic does say Saturday, December thirteenth and four point thirty
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Eastern time. Please make a note that that collision is
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, coast to coast, but it does have a
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: much earlier start time. I think it's because the mumpt
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: reunion show is Saturday night, if I'm not mistaken. But anyway,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: what do we think about the Continental Classic thus far?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Is it meeting your expectations for the Muppets? Okay, yeah,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: So anyway, what do we think about the Continental Classic?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, we've had what a couple of
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: wrestlers have done three matches, most have done two. There's
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: a couple that have only done one, Jack Berry replacing
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Darby Allen. It's only you know, Darby only had one.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Jack Berry has not wrestled yet. So but what are
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: we what are our overall thoughts so far after the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: first two full weeks of the Continental Classic.
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: I think you.
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: Enjoyed it so far. There's been some great masses, some
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: definite surprises, you know, good story stuff even you know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: outside of it being the Continental Classic. I'm really looking
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: forward to seeing some of the matches that maybe on
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: paper are a little strained, because sometimes those end up
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: being the most fun matches of all. Like master a
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: Dorado versus Tequeska. That should be interesting.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Oh that's going to be a war that's going to
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: be more than interesting.
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: Not to me.
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know, there are two guys who, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: stylistically are very different, and I think we saw with
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: you know, Dorato versus Claudio that it worked out really well.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: So I definitely interested to see what Jack Perry does.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: You know, I said it stuck to Darby Allen's out,
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: but I'm excited to say with Jack Perry will too
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: that he's now that he's got his hings.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they've done a better job overall just
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: keeping the story going this year. I think one of
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: the kind of original sins of Death Writers last year.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: And I've said this before, I'm sure on this podcast,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: was the whole turn happened at you know, the title
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: switch happened at full gear, and then the Death Writers
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: was basically put on the back burner until January. I
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: don't know that it's even mentioned much with I'm sure
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: they talked about it when the Claudio had matches, but
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: it's really like it's it's maintained a lot better pace
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: this year in terms of the overall show, and you know,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: I still think they've got the chance to put those
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: big matches on.
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: And I think for the.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Most part, I didn't like I didn't like the Derby
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: pick in the first place.
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: I wanted Perry there.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: So I'm not gonna you know, I'm not going to
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: say that, like you know, im pre makes you hate
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: to see guys get hurt. But I do think like
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: I like the picks that they brought in. I kind
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: of wrote down like, even though I love both the guys,
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: I did not want to see Brodi King, I did
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: not want to see Mark Brisco again in the tournament,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: So I think it's gonna a good job mix in
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: some some names like Moxley that I kind of expected
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: to see with some some fresh faces. I think Dorada's
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: inclusion is good too. I would have liked sitting ATCHI
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: s maybe in the other group, but I'm not going
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: to complain about having Dorott. He's amazing.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: The something else I've they've now solidified. First off, I
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: love Continental Classic season. I just want to get that
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: up front. These are have been the last three years
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: usually some of the strongest TV that AW does from
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: a flow perspective, because the matches all make sense and
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: why they're going on, and then they can just pepper
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: it in with one or two matches to further other storylines.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: It's just some of the TV. But one of the
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: things that I think they've clearly established with this season
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: that is very important is that there are going to
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: be upsets, and this year they did those upsets very early,
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: and I think that was really smart because previously they
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: would hold those upsets in the end and when everyone's like, oh, well,
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: somebody's got to get their one win or whatever. But
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: with the ones they've done so far, I think the
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: fans believe anybody can win in these matches, and then
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: they start to expect the upsets, and that's when they
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: really get them, when aw finally gets the fans on
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: that hook, and maybe it'll be next year where they
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: know it can happen and they expect it. When's the
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: first one going to go down? That's when this is
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: really going to peak as an annual thing. But all
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: in all, I've really enjoyed it this year for sure.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree with that.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I really am particularly happy with the fact that they
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: chose not to book current champions in there so that
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: they can do their own thing as well. But the
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: last year Daniel Garcia kind of got swept under the
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: rub when he was T and T champion. But they're
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: doing good and I was really really surprised that Dorado
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: beat Claudio. I was really happy they gave.
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: Him a chance to showing.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: I was legit shocked, legit shocked.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Anybody else with a opinion about this year's Continental Classic.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: So I want to bring up about that Claudio Durada match.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: I think ex Caliber tipped the hand on the finish.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: When the match started, he said, Claudio is a history
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: of struggling against smaller opponents, and I thought that was
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: a weird thing to bring up until after the finish
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: and I'm like ex Caliber told us who is going
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: to win there?
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: Man? Well, something.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: Had trouble against Luca Doors, which is at touched. You
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: know Claudio traditionally, even in WWE, he had trouble against
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: Luca Door's Lucas style wrestlers.
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: So I think it was a little bit of telegraphing there,
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: but I mean it is it is historically accurate to
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: Claudio's career, so I mean it's something you got it mentioned.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: So the CBL World Heavyweight Champion has trouble with luchadors.
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: I think a barrel with arms attached.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Did you have an opinion?
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: I just like the Continental Classic all around. This is
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: one of my favorite times in wrestling. I like who
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: they have in there. Uh, and I think it's just
• 39:46
  Speaker 11: gonna be good all around. I was surprised with the
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: Claudio match as well, but I'm glad that it played
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: out that way.
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: What else?
• 39:58
  Speaker 11: I hate the Darby's in, but I think jungle Jack
• 40:03
  Speaker 11: needs a moment to shine and maybe this is his
• 40:06
  Speaker 11: takeoff moment to really no longer be an escapegoat and
• 40:11
  Speaker 11: being a good guy.
• 40:13
  Speaker 12: So we'll see.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I have a hard time kind of when I
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: think of like Perry's best mansions, it's always with his peers,
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: It's always with m JF. This is like, this is
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: the time where I think he's get a chance to
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: show some diversity and really like hopefully kind of cement
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: himself as a as leveled up a little bit.
• 40:31
  Speaker 10: I think he needs it.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: You know what. I kind of have to be the
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: voice of dissension here. And I don't want to make
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: it sound like I hate the hate the Continental Classic,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: but I don't because I don't. The first Continental Classic
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: put a huge bad taste in my mouth that after
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: that fiasco, I was like, let's not ever do this again. Okay,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: that's just my honest opinion. Now, last year's Continental Classic,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: it was good. I enjoyed it. This year's Continental Classic,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I can honestly say I have very very little interest
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: in it. I do not know why, but I can't
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: follow the matches. I just can't, especially like the later
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: matches in the shows. I watched the first couple matches
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: and then the last match because they generally had three
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: on each show. I don't think I've seen the main
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: event matches. I haven't seen any of them because I've
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: just lost interest. I think some of that has to
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: do with I don't know. I'm just not invested in
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: who wins this. It doesn't mean anything to me. And
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of that has to do with
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: there's three belts. There's an International, Continental, and Unified Belt,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: and to this day, I still don't know the distinction
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: between them. And I had to be honest with you,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I don't care if those three belts were to go away,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: and what bothered me at all. That's just the way
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: I feel about it. I mean, they and there's so
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: many people to do to this day. I just saw
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: a post about it this week. You know, what is
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: the difference between these belts? They they're not explaining them.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, and I'm not and I don't care enough
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: to find out.
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: I think I think the problem is that people think
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: there's a difference between them being the Belts as a
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: trio as opposed to what they were bringing. The only
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: belt that is difference the Unified Belt. The other two
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: are still considered to be the same as they were before.
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: They're just included in the trio.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: That's the problem that I'm sorry, Yeah, that is a
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: big problem. You need to get rid of those other two.
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: How can you have and also, yeah, is on the
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: line in this tournament.
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: They should have stayed unified.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: So I think that's I think that's the story mcguffin.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: I do not think that they're actually going to split
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: those belts up. I think it's just yet another excuse.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: And this is maybe the thing I don't like that.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: It feels like this whole thing is just a long
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: excuse to do takesh verse.
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's my problem with the the You said, Kelsey,
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: the first bet, the first continent of plastic. We knew
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: what was going to happen from the beginning. We knew
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: Eddie was going to win it. There was no denying
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: what was going to happen. Last year, you could say
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: there was a little bit of controversy and what might happen,
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: but you were pretty sure it was going to come
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: down to who it was going to come down to.
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: This year, it's takesha and and is not losing the match.
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: I said that, We've talked about it.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: The first week.
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: He's not losing the match. You're not going to have
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: the i w GP champion lose a match, not at all,
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: and if he does, it'll be a tie, right, and
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: you know it doesn't make it. The only thing he
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: could make this more interesting is if Maxley loses to
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: every member of his little squad there in the tournament somehow,
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: but him and Pack are in the opposite side, so
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: that means they would have to finish one too, so
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: that they could be against each other in the in
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: the semifinals. But then you'd have to have Pack or
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: Takeshta and Okada in the other semifinal. So I mean
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: to me, if you're gonna make this a tournament that
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: you want to legitimize and make the perfect tournament, you
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: can't have champions of any any champion in the match,
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: except for maybe the defending continental champions.
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: New Japan did, but New Japan also had twenty people
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: in the tournaments.
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah you're different.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: One of the things that you know, I don't like
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: comparing New Japan to Western wrestling, But there was something
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: that was posted in the Greatness of Wrestling subreddit that
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I honestly agree with. Keep in mind, you have the
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about this. Next to Women's tournament going on,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: you have the Continental Classic going on, and somebody in
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: the Greatness of Wrestling subreddit pointed out looking at the
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: match cards, it was like, this is isn't this the
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: same exact match card as it was last week? And
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you, there is a lot of
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: satanists to it. And I'm sorry. I I like the matches,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: the ones that I've watched. I do need to go
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: back and watch some of them, but as far as
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: the Continental Classic goes win or lose with the three
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: belts and everything, it's too confusing And I honestly I
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: don't really care who wins this. I really don't.
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: Sometimes something's just not your jam, and that's okay, Yeah,
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: I mean.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: It's not like I'm just I'm not hating on it.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not hating on it. I hated the first Continental
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Classic that was that was stupid. That was very specifically though, Yeah,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: but that was.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: It was like, more more so than Kingston doing now
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Nelson doesn't like they uh, I just don't feel like
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: they structured the match as well.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: For being.
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: It was really like it.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Really didn't have anything to do with Eddie. Eddie Kingston
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: per se. It was the fact that they literally told
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: everybody who was going to win the damn thing before
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: it even started. I mean only which was Eddie Kingston,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: but it could have been it could have been it
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: could have been John Moxley that they told was gonna win.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: It would still made it just as stupid. I mean,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: it was a stupid There really was a dumb thing.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, you watch the matches for the matches, but
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: you knew Eddie Kingston was gonna win it. So what
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: was the point? You know that, Like I said, it's
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: really not a slight against Eddie Kingston to the fact
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: that if it had been John Moxley that they told
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: you was gonna win it, or Claudio Cassagoli or anybody
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's the fact is is that they
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: told you who was gonna win it before it even started,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: you know. So that's that. Uh, let's move on because
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: we do have the finals of and this is happening
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: at Winter's Coming Dynamite from Atlanta. The Timeless Love Bombs
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: are facing the Babes of Rat in the finals of
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: the Women's World Tag Team Championship Tournament. What do you
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: guys think who are the winners.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: I think Daves are at the beginning, So I guess
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: I gotta say now, I don't.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Really want bes Rash to win, but I think it's
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: going to be Tony and.
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it will.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Anybody else.
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: This is this is a coin flip for me, man, Like,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I can see a case for both
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: of them. I think the Timeless Love Bombs are the
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: name brand that I think because they're the name brand,
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: they don't actually need the belts, but I could.
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: I don't know. This is the coin flip for me, man.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I mean I mentioned this earlier. Harley Cameron
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: last year in the aw Fan Hubb Awards was the
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: most improved wrestler last year, and she was, and she
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: was nominated this year for most Improved. That's saying something.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: She's never won a belt. I mean, Mina shir Cow
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: had the interim ring him on her TV Championship, but
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: out of all fort these women, literally, Harley Cameron has
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: never won a belt. And for that reason and that
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: reason alone, I think that I gotta go with the
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Babes of Wrath on this one. And I agree with
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: whomever said that the time. Most love bombs, they don't
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: really need a belt. However, I wouldn't be upset if
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: they want it, because I would really like to see
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Mina shirkkw belt, you know, with a with a real belt.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know you guys looking at
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: the graphic that I did for this, do you get it?
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: It's a wrathful woman holding a bomb that shaped like
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: a heart.
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: I was what you were putting down.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: That graphic took me like words to do because I mean,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: it's just a clip art that woman. Obviously I did vot,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: I did do anything. I just she was holding like
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: a crystal or something like that, and I just changed
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: it to the to a love bomb graphic. But anyway,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of myself for that one.
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: For me, this is one of those whoever wins, I'll
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: be happy. I'm always going for Mina because I love her.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: You know, Mina, Mina's Mina is the bane of my existence.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: She really is. The reason I say that is because
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I love her too. And but Reddit has some very
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: weird rules about you know, not what what is what
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: is not not safe for work? You can't take a
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: picture of mina nose and post it and they had
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Reddit weall flag it is not safe for work. She
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: is the most difficult person to post a picture of
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: in the history of Reddit. I guarantee.
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: If she is, it's not her fault. Sexy as health.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: I mean I literally posted a picture from her chin
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: up to the top of her head. There was no
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: other on it, and they marked it. Nothing else of it,
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: and they marked it and sff you know what.
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, editors, I would agree.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just I don't know, it's just something weird.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: And you know, Reddit is just one of those things
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: where I've said it before and I'll say it again.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: When you look at wrestlers, professional wrestlers pictures, who wears
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: less clothes? The men are the women? The men do?
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: By far, I mean look at a picture of Adam
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Cole and look at a picture of Mita Shri Kala
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: who wears in their wrestling gear. Who's wearing less Adam Cole?
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: By far, Well, you can post ten thousand pictures of
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Adam Cole, not one of them will be marked not
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: safe for working. For a picture. You post a picture
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: of Ministre cows faced and it's like, Nope, too sexy.
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: Wait, wait minute, where did that killed?
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: I was I was, I was trying I was trying
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: down to go.
• 52:18
  Speaker 13: I couldn't cut off from until I calmed down Like
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: that was just jumped out.
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: And stand a man.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah look look welcome. Well yeah, okay, Wait a second,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Let's let's get down to the bottom of this net.
• 52:34

• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Is this guy?
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: What's going on?
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Adam cold disrespect the man. The man is probably likely
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: never going to wrestle another matchic.
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: I love, I've loved him forever, but I don't know
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: what was going on in that period for the tanner
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: he was using. He knows that area and everybody knows
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: what I'm talking about, Like, I don't know what happened
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: there that was he was.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: He was trying out for the remake of Yellow Bastard
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: for the CID City remake.
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: Which is a shame because like that dude just got
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: an incredible shape before he got hurt.
• 55:18
  Speaker 9: I mean, like you.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Could tell that he was not doing well because he
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: lost a lot of weight towards he had there before all.
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, he was an incredible shape. So I
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: just I missed that guy a lot.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: I really like the most athletic.
• 55:36
  Speaker 15: I was like, you know what you know, I mean
• 55:44
  Speaker 15: better round. You know, he could have maybe.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Been nominated for Character work of the year. I mean,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Jaundice is character worker, right, I guess commitment to the.
• 55:55
  Speaker 11: Gimmick man commitment to the gimmick.
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think we're probably talking about this yet. I
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: think we all hope Adam Cole will be back, but
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: he would nerd my feelings. As good as he is
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: on the mic if if he came back to wanting
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: to do some manager stuff or something, he would really
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: be pretty excellent.
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: Hey, yeah, I enjoy him on commentary too, Like, like
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: he is somebody that if if he can travel, I
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: think Tony should figure out a way to get him
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: on TV like he's he's he's great, Like everybody loves
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: Adam Cole. You know, if he if he can travel
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: ever again, just get him on TV doing something.
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: Man.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I was actually I was actually thinking about
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: this earlier today. But you know, when MGF comes back
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: and they do the whole Dynamite Diamond Ring match again
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: or whatever they're doing, would it be cool if the
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Devil helped him win the Diamond Diamond Ring again, not
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: in the match, but maybe just hit somebody with a
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: chair or something like that, and it turns out that
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: it was Adam Cole you know, I really would I
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: really would like to see I mean, how many of
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: you have read this book? Is all? How many of
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: you have read this book? Is all? Ead? I haven't
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: you know what? That's a real short book.
• 57:27
  Speaker 6: Thank you you just gave me the answer.
• 57:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I think it's going to be in my
• 57:32
  Speaker 9: stocking as well, which I.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Did read it. And spoiler alert, there is a little
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: bit about Adam Cole and MJF and how you know,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: their dynamic and their friendship was so good. But you
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: know what, they didn't talk about the breakup. They just
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: talked about the dynamic and the friendship that they had.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: I think they dropped the ball really bad. But let's
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: move on because, as you know, we are now picking
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Adam Cole to win the Women's World Tag Team Championship.
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: Jesuslson killing the guy when he's down.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know, that's stabbing him and Kelson just like
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: kicked him, well yeah, like a dead guy.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Get here. We are sorry for net derailing this entire
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: conversation about the women's you know, and if you are
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: disgusted with that, as I am, it's net at aw
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: fan hub dot com.
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: O god.
• 58:45
  Speaker 6: I had with the conversation. So I'm not.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Mad, yes, so you know, yeah, but I'm just saying
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: for anybody. But it's the i w C NET. You're
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: gonna get hate bial something wrong exactly.
• 59:08
  Speaker 7: Come back as Adam's sister.
• 59:12
  Speaker 6: But we don't talk about that. Okay, we don't talk
• 59:15
  Speaker 6: about that.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Well, here's something else we probably shouldn't talk about, but
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: we are going to talk about it. Of course, we
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: know that Netflix made that purchase. They said they purchased it,
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: which is so weird that they would say that we
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: purchased it. Uh, purchase w Warner Brothers. I noticed I
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: didn't say Warder Brothers, Discovery. But now Paramount is coming
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: back with a hostile takeover bit of their own. Netflix
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: is only just the people that don't understand what's going on. Uh,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: I've been oversimplified here. Netflix wants to buy Warner Brothers
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: the stud but they want nothing to do with the TV.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: The TV part which includes CNN, TBS, t N T
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: True TV that's gonna be part of Water Brothers Global
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: or Discovery Global. Okay, Paramount wants to buy the whole shebang.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: They want the studios, they want the TV everything, and
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: that's what's different. The concerns with There are concerns with Netflix.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: There are concerns with Paramount. I'm gonna put you guys
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: on the spot, and kay, since your mic is going
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: absolutely batch it crazy right now, I will go to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: you first, and what are your what are your thoughts here?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Who'll put you on the spot? Who would you rather see?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Get Warner Brothers or Warner Brothers, Discovery Netflix.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: I try to stay away from Netflix much as possible.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: There if you thinks I like on there, but Paramount
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: has some cooler stuff that I'm interested in, So if
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: they do switch over, it'd be Paramount.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, let me go to Barry.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: This is such a complicated topic. I think this lose regardless,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: AW is fine for their contract, but long term, this
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: is this isn't good in general.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: There's gonna be.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: Less it's gonna be less bitters for the next round
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 5: of TV. If Paramount gets everything, Netflix isn't going to
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: pick a w UP because they already have WWE. If
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 5: Netflix wins, they're not going to keep AW. You know,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: I don't think Paramount is probably going to keep them.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 9: I don't know. I think it's just it's just bad.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of people say that if Netflix
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: gets this deal, it's going to kill the movie theater
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: into stree, which I had never thought of, but I
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: can see kind of see the point.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll contribute to it. It's not good in general.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you know they were going to when
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 6: when it kind of got next, basically said they wanted
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: to shorten the theatrical released window and get the movies
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: to streaming and you know, digital release faster. But now
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: they've seemed to go back on that because people were like, Okay,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: they're gonna kill movie theaters if they do this. But
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: you know what, when's the last time any of you
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 6: guys went to a movie theater?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 10: Just random May I went.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I went to see Centers in May at the movie theater. Okay, now,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: before that it has that bad COVID.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 6: Before three weeks ago, I wou saw Rental Family. But
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: before that, I mean I hadn't into a theater in months,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: Like is movies are? Would it really be such a
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 6: bad thing at movie theaters, you know, became less popular,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: Like I mean, you pay twenty dollars to go see
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: a movie. You pay thirty dollars for a bucket of
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 6: popcorn and a drink. You know, look Covide three new movies.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 8: I love to kill blocks, so.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: But yeah, that's like kill blocks.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: I I have some education in this area, initially studied
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: going into it. I have several friends in the entertainment industry,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: all of which are really questioning their long term career aspects.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 5: In general that the problem with movie theaters is that
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: home theaters are too good now.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 9: And I don't mean that in a bad way.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: The spectacle of going to movies has been diminished because
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: everybody at home can put together a cinema ready product
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: and have access to pretty.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: Much any movie they want on demand forever.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: I don't think movie theaters going away as a good thing,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: because I enjoy movies. There are some films that are
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 5: still going to be directed for a long time with
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: people who have a vision that this needs to be
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: seen in the giant screen. The scope is designed to
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: be seen at that scale. It doesn't have the same
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: impact on a home screen, even if it's seventy five inches.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: I understand directors saying that I have people I know
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: that do that for a living, But to your point,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: this is just indicative of broader problems with the entertainment
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: industry in general. Yeah, I mean a bigger topic than
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: we can cover in this show. But like, well, there's
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: a reason movie theaters aren't as popular because we can
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: get almost as good at home.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: Go ahead.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love movies too. I am a huge movie
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: I know. I have my like watching movies, probably more
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 6: than I stood. You know, there's movies I can quote
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 6: line by line and re December. I have my Christmas
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: movie list. I just and yet you know there are
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 6: some that you've got to go see them in the theater,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: but it's becoming few and fewer, and the prices just
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 6: keep getting higher and higher. You know, I have a
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 6: decent TV. I've got a really comfortable chair. If I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 6: want to go to the bathroom, I can hit pause,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 6: you know, without what without being like, oh man, when
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: should I go? Can I go right now?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 6: I can. I can make to myself a full meal
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: or order a pizza for less than it cost to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: get a bucket of popcorn and a dream. It's it. Yeah,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: it's one of those where like movie theaters need to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 6: adapt or they're going to die, and it's their own fault.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I kind of have the same kind
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: of thoughts as Barry does. For me when I go
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: to a movie. I'm not going to go to a
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: movie theater to watch something that has the same effect
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: on a big screen as it would on the small screen.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I've got a really nice setup at home with you know,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: a big screen TV and some round sound and all
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: and whatnot. I'm not gonna go to a movie theater
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: and watch I don't know, Shakespeare in Love Part two.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of spectacle to that, you know
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: what I mean. I would go to a movie theater
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: to see something like Godzilla I'm a dude, you know,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: or something you know, along the lines of a science
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: big science fiction movie. But I'm not gonna go to
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: a movie see theater to see Doubton Abbey stuff, you know.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: But that's I think that's the problem. And I think
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: COVID kind of got us used to watching do or
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: release at home. I really do believe that. Well.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: I think that if Netflix gets the package, be honest,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 7: I would love to see Tony Kong get the rest
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: of it, take the TV, get the TV deal, put
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: it in his own hands. He's got the money that way,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: And they can.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: They can do He can do whatever he wants to
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 7: do with anything.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 9: Do you understand the amount of money involved? Like Tony
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 9: can't just buy this, like.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 13: I mean they can leverage, ye, the non Tony Khan's
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 13: got to like two and a half billion of his
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 13: own money and Chad CON's got twelve billion, Like not
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 13: only in couldn't their own money they own They own
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 13: an NFL franchise which is half the market cap of
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 13: WWE by itself, And that's not even counting their their
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 13: interests in the Premier League.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 10: That's paper money, that's liquid matter off, it's pay for money.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: All people do is borrow. Now, this is all it is.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: Like this is the whole like bubble in the market
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: thing about the stuff.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: See the cons buying a dying TV industry like cable's dying.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 6: Like Netflix's offer was something like I don't know the
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 6: exact numbers, but I'm just gonna say, you know, I'm
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: ballparking here. Netflix Is offer for the movie stuff was
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 6: sixty billion. I think it was ridiculously by paramount for
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: ed for the movie and TV is offering eighty. That
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: means the TV is valued at a third of what
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 6: the movie is at twenty billion. The college do not
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: have twenty billion dollars. They need.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 10: Show up and have to write a check.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: Keeping keep in mind that Paramount sky Dance also doesn't
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: have that money they have they are doing it as
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: a investment group.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 16: Like a W is so irrelevant in this mix because
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 16: Larry Ellison and getting control of CNN and all these
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 16: other things would be like, we need to tell.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 10: This are it's just a disaster.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Let's I do want to say. I do want to
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: say one more thing to whoever said that Tony Kahn
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: should buy Discovery Global. I would pay group money to
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: see CNA and run by Tony Khan. I mean the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: anchors would all have to sit there and scream at
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: the top of their lungs without blinking.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 9: You get some in there.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: Anderson Cooper has a Lucan match in the middle of
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 5: the show, all right, yeah versus Scara Doata.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: Yep, I'll tell you what.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: I would Finally, if that happens.

• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: And I'm really glad he's in ending his career on
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: a high note.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 10: Well said, hardly shocking. Good for w w E card too.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 10: In those four matches, shocking breaking news.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: Uh, one of the I thought one of the curious
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: little bits I saw on TV this week was, uh,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: my World and high.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 10: End and matching gear. If they end up getting hired.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: Out of this, it's gonna be one of the funniest
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: things to ever happen in the history of this company.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 9: I saw a box stage, I was dying.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, there they are again, and they have
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: the same gear on.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and like Sophia Chavon, who's at Restler, I think
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: Canada somewhere was in that too, but uh, the specifically
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: they have been Like I've been on the sign high
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: both these girls for a long time. Like I thought
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 4: My World was a really good prospect, Like back Covid,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: she was really really impressive kind of person. I feel
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: like they should be invested in, but also high end,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: like I feel like one of the sort of There's
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: been a couple kind of missteps with the women's division,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: but one of them was not just bringing back everybody
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: from Ringham Honor. When they bought it, they had a
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: great women's Rosstrea was one of the main strengths of
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: the company, and most of those people have ended up
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: in aw since then, and Heien was one of those
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: people and it's just it's kind of crazy it's taking
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: this song, but I would think.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 10: They're they're great pickups. Like if that does happen.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: You have to be honest with you. Is when we
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: were doing the nominations for tag teams, how Will said
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: high in my world as sets and giggles. But uh,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: but they could get there. They really could anybody else
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: with the pot pourri.

• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that there's a guy in New
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: Japan since Jay White that has made me immediately just
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: fall in love with him so hard. As you know, Ie,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: that guy is phenomenal. He is somebody. I just love
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: that somebody is like really leaning into that ironhead thing,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: which is kind of missing with that generation retiring. Somebody
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: referred to him as juggler Fujiita. I was like, oh god,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: that's fantastic. That's exactly what he is. Like, He's he's
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: like a Gouberd like version of the of that generation
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: guys Like I just really really like him, and him
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: and Oscar have just been really funny so much.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 17: I mean I was a fan of to them when
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 17: they were young lions, and unfortunately most of their excursion
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 17: was in the UK, so I wasn't able to really
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 17: keep up with them.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 6: I saw a handful of matches and they really they
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 6: really grew during their excursion and since they've come back
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 6: they have been on a tear and yeah, you know,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: you know, Ice is one of those really interesting characters,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: like he's like it's basically a bad, crazy drug dealer
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 6: and his German bodyguard. But a crazy drug dealer is
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: also a freaking beast and just a crazy fighter. And
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: you know, I love the bum books that knee he does. Yeah,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: they're they're a fantastic team. I wouldn't be surprised if
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: they win the whole thing, as they've had a really good,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 6: good World Tag League. I think they finished four and three,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 6: So you know, should they come out as should they
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: win World Tag late, they have challengers are ready and
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 6: you know, if they don't win World Tag League, but
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: do keep the titles at Russell Kingdom. They've got they've
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: got three challengers ready to go, including Monster Sauce, Land
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: Starcher and Alex Sing.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm familiar with them good. I was just gonna
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: say that I'm familiar with you Guce, but he's no
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Adam called go ahead Barry.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 5: So it is, well, it is Continental Classic season. There's
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 5: also the tail end of Survivors series war Game season,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 5: and so I, inspired by all of the war game
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 5: style matches, recently did a little fun poking around YouTube
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 5: from some of the wargame matches from the past, and
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: Wrestle War ninety two I landed on and I really
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 5: wanted to tell folks I put this in the Classics
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: Wrestling Discord channel. It's I think it's about twenty five minutes.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 5: Entrances were real short, so the match itself was probably
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 5: twenty two or twenty three minutes, and I thought it
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 5: was just a really really great example of how you
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 5: can do a wargames match with a ton of heat.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 5: The crowd in Jacksonville was electric for everybody who went
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: in there. Each of the faces and the heels did
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 5: exactly what they need to do to keep the heat
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: and the buzz going. It just had super super heat
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 5: and it was a great way to show how you
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 5: can do a wargamesmatch that doesn't need to be forty
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 5: five minutes long. Like once it went into the match beyond,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 5: you had a cup two three four minutes left, and
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 5: it was the culmination of something that had been set
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: up before it once to the match beyond that led
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: to somebody submitting, and I just thought it's a great
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 5: It's a great, great war game. So it's also a
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 5: really interesting match because it's right before a lot of
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: talent starts to move between WCWA and WWS. When you
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 5: had some folks leave to go over there, then they
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 5: would later turn into big stars like Steve Aouston and
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: a couple other players that would have some interesting storylines
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 5: as well. So if you haven't checked it out, Russell
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 5: Ward ninety two the War Games match, it's a it's
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 5: a quick quick watch on YouTube, about twenty five minutes.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: I will definitely check that out because I have heard
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: what war games happened. I did. People were talking about
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: previously no past war games, and some of them were
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: very beloved. This last one not so much. Does anybody
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: else have a potpri song called leeds.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 9: Buckets in that mash Man?
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 11: I have a question maybe you all can help me with. Okay,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 11: So this past weekend, GCW was in Seattle. I didn't
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 11: go to the show, but I watched it, and then
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 11: I watched them the next night in LA.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 12: They're the highest in the Room.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: I think that show was called So while I was
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 11: watching those, Joey Janella was in both shows.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 9: He had matches.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 11: It made me wonder why, out of people that Tony
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 11: Khan has had disagreements with and he's forgiven, like Leo
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 11: Rush for example, when he's back on AW, back on
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 11: the show Everything's Fun, what happened between Tony Khan and
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 11: Joey Janella that they haven't kissed and made up yet?
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 12: Does anyone know?
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 8: I don't know his girlfriend's here, so I don't know.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, even before maybe Joey, but maybe Joey Jenella
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 18: just simply enjoys.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've heard him say nothing good things about
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 3: Tony and he enjoyed his time here. But I think
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: he's he's kind of done with AW, doesn't want to
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: be chained down, and likes likes gc W.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just wondering they had a disagreement or anything.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 6: I think it's more he likes working in the indies,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 6: and I think he looks for maybe a few indie
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: companies or is at least part of the you know,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: maybe like booking committee for some or like I think
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: he has a hand in a few indie promotions, so
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: it's probably like he, Yeah, he chose to stick with
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: those and work with them instead of being you know,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: a W and maybe having to miss some of those
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: shows because they want him to do a random match
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: in a W like you know, it's kind of like
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: one of those. He probably felt like he was never
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 6: going to be a top guy there. He was always
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 6: going to be a mid card, you know, they use
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: them kind of jobber to the stars role, so he'd
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: rather work with those indecent doing that stuff. Yeah, I
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 6: don't think there was any kind of animosity between him
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 6: and Tony Tong.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 11: I thought there was because there was that controversy that
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 11: Joey Janella had. He hurt Sonny Kiss really bad. I
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 11: think he hurt Eddie Kingston and a lot of people
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 11: were saying they didn't want to work with him. So
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 11: I always got the impression that there was something that
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 11: went on backstage that maybe we weren't all privileged to
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 11: and he kind of just disappeared.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 5: If I recall, And I could be wrong here, but
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 5: I believe he said in some interviews like he understands
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 5: why AW let him go, And there wasn't like animosity
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 5: like he owned up to what had caused that. I
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 5: don't remember the specifics of backstage heat and AW, but
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 5: and I could be wrong here. I thought it was
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 5: something he did at an indie show, or something that
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 5: happened around an indie show. He was working while doing
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 5: something with AW that was inappropriate. I don't remember what,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 5: And again I could be completely wrong on that and misremembering,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 5: but I'm pretty sure he had said an interview like
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: he understood why they had to part ways and owned
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 5: up whatever it caused that. So I think it's just
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: the case, like others said, it's just better if they
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: just keep working on their own, you know.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I've just been wondering. I like Joey Janella and
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 11: I miss him on TV, so I've been wondering what
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 11: it was that was keeping him out of AEW.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 12: So, okay, thanks guys.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: All right then, well that's going to be the show
• 1:24:09
