• 0:11
  Speaker 1: all engines running.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It's Tuesday, you know what that means, it's time for
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Ignition with the AEW Fan Hub Podcast Team. This is Kelson.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: And if you're listening to us on X, welcome. If
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you're listening to us on YouTube, be sure to chat
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: with us because this is our preview and prediction show
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: for AEW WrestleDream. So... Okay. I got distracted, but that's okay.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of weird. But anyway... Um, if you're on
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: X and you want to chat with us and make
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: your predictions live, just go over to the YouTube channel.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You can look on X. I did post a link
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: on X to our YouTube. Uh, just go right onto
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that and you'll be able to chat with us.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Um, we are, uh, this is the first time we're
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: together in three weeks, guys.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't do the, uh, Tuesday after PAX
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: passing because, uh, We just really didn't feel like talking
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: about AEW. We wanted to respect PAC in our own way,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and that's by shutting the hell up. No offense to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: anybody who did fantastic tribute shows and shared their thoughts
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: about PAC. That was just our decision. And of course,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: last week, we didn't do the Tuesday show because... AEW
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Grand Slam France took place, then we wanted to watch it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So that's that. But now that we are together again,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I wanted to just briefly, let's talk about the passing
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of PAC. Guys, what kind of memories do you have?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Is there something about PAC that stood out to you?
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, gosh.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: For me, it was how consistent of a wrestler he was.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Anytime I saw Pac, Adrian Neville, Neville, whatever name, if
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I saw his name on the card, I knew, okay,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I'm getting at least one good match. That's just the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: kind of wrestler he was. Like you said, we are
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: professionals who give up. I won't use the expletive. But, yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: it was just his consistency. And thank you for wrestling
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You know what, Rollins? I kind of think, when I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: look at Pac, and I don't know how anybody else
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: feels about him, but I would rather do the high...
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: If I was wrestling him or in a fight with him,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I would rather him do the high-flying stuff. Because I could, like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: maybe do a nope if I'm lucky to him. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: if he's punching me in the face, I got a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: big face. And it's squishy.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Rollins, let me interrupt you because I don't want to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: spend the next hour talking about Pac, so I wanted
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to keep it short. I do want to go to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the chat real quick. Flyboy Rex says, Wolf is in
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the chat saying, Hey, everyone. After Pac's death, I think
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we all felt a little less immortal. Amen, brother. What
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: an amazing performer, Wolf says. Dark Elite Eric says, Hey. Well, hey,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: anybody else with anything to say about Pac?
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go because I saw Pac not once
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: but twice in the span of three months. And I
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: felt very, very privileged to watch him wrestle. I think
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: he was– oh, jeez, I'm going to get emotional here–
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: He was very, very good. And my favorite match ever
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: in AEW was the two out of three with Kenny.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: It was spectacular.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: So rest in peace.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: No, I get it. Yes, absolutely. Anybody else?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: One of the things about Pac in the ring that
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I always appreciated was how good he was at playing
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the straight man. So you look at his matches with
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Orange Cassidy and a couple other wrestlers in there when
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: they do some comedy spots. Like he... He was really
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: good at giving the performers who work in some more
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: comedy like a straight man to play off of. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: he knew how to do it. He knew how to
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: get the comedy over. And for a guy whose character
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: was very stoic, that's the kind of little touches and
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: flourishes that... you really only get like from an actor.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Like if you think of it in acting, like he
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: got to, he got to stretch a little bit for,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: for how his character works. And, and I always appreciated
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: that and how, while he, he would give the more
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: comedic acts a chance to breathe and get over their stuff.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: And he was, he knew exactly what he had to
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: do to help that get over.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Flyboy Rex says, when I heard about PAC, it
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: totally took me off guard. He will truly be missed.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Well said. And is there anybody else has anything to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: say about Pac before we get on to the gist
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of the show? Well, I will say something, and I've
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: said it many times on the podcast, if you go
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: back and listen. I've always appreciated this about Pac, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that is the fact that I love the way he
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: sold bumps. He didn't overdo it. As a matter of fact,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he kind of reacted the way I think a lot
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of people would react if you got punched in the face.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: He'd just stand there and wobble. And then he had
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this way of folding in upon himself and falling. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I absolutely loved watching him take bumps. And I've said
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it many times on this podcast. And Rollins, I want
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to apologize for interrupting you. But again, I didn't want
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to just keep going with this. But I do want
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to move on with the show. Rest in peace. Benjamin Satterly.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys saw it, but Final
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Battle has been announced for December 4, 2026 in San Antonio, Texas,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: which I believe, is that not the hometown of one Athena?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I think that's where she's from. Or is that Thunder Rosa?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Thunder Rosa. That's where she claims her hometown is, right?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: That's where she has her other ventures.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I think she's in San Antonio now, yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: But anyway.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Like, what kind of... Does she have, like, a golf
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: course she runs? Or a chain of pizzerias or something?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: What other ventures are you talking about?
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: She does something on it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Does she have, I think, a training school or something
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: like that? I'm not sure.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure she has a training school. I don't know.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I know she loves tacos and, like, has, like, on
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: YouTube has done a lot of, like, taco places, making
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: other wrestlers. I don't know if she... Has one or
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: not down there?
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: She's on window cleaning service, too. They do skyscrapers. I'm like,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: one of those platforms.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: She does that. And she's a pilot.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: That's where she practices her hurricanranas. And topics.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Anyway, of course, tomorrow night, don't forget, everyone, set your
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: DVRs correctly. It's a three-hour dynamite tomorrow night. And as such,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: our friends over at the Everything Pro Wrestling podcast, when
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: they're doing their review show, That's actually going to be
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Thursday at 8 p.m. So be sure to go and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: listen to Conrad and Derek. Well, maybe it won't be Derek.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: It may be BJ. Because, generally speaking, when they do
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a Thursday show, it's BJ. I don't know. I didn't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: ask Conrad. But anyway, Thursday at 8 p.m., EPW Show
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: at EPW Show on YouTube. Be sure to check it out. And,
• 8:05

• 8:15
  Speaker 2: at 8 p.m. Eastern time for Dynamite and Collision. All right.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Are you ready to get on with the preview and predictions?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: No, hang on a second.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I'm busy.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Give me a second.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm good. Okay, let's do this. We've got to
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: talk about.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: The.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Qualification matches for clockwork. Everybody is saying the same thing.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I want to say clockwork orange. You know, when I
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: looked up the graphic, for some reason, the picture of
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Malcolm McDowell came up, and I was like, oh, crap.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: What did I call it the other day? Or was
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: it the Carnival of Carnage?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Carnival of Carnage. Whatever.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Carnival of Carnage or something. Yeah, that's what I called it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Trade market.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're having five qualifying matches tomorrow night on
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Dynamite and Collision. The winners will then go on to Clockwork,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Clark Clockwork, whatever, the orange match.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Clockwork Carnage.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Clockwork Carnage. I haven't had this much trouble saying a match.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: What was it? The Continental, the C3, whatever it was called.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: The Continental Challenge Cup.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: The Continental Challenge Cup. Took me three weeks to get it,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: but I nailed it after that. I was pretty proud
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: of myself. But anyway, two of these matches are title matches.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Three of them are not. Looking at these matches, do
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you see an upset point? brewing at any point in this?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Do you see an upset?
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: The only potential upset I see is Josh Alexander over Copeland.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are saying that, and I agree
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: with you. I do see another upset.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Meaning Cage versus Takeshita?
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: I don't know. Brian Cage has lost a few matches, so.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his win-loss record isn't really that impressive.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: I was thinking Ace Austin might be ricocheted over there.
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: That's the one I'm thinking.
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: No?
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: Nobody else?
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: So, if there's an upset, what's the reason for the upset?
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Because that's how I look at it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: So.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, looking at these five matches, I think we
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: all know clearly who we're supposed to believe is going
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: to win. So if there's an upset here, what's the
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: point of that upset? Like, what is the driver? What
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: do they do with that person in the Clockwork Carnage match?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Well, Barry, if there is an upset in Clockwork... You
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: said Clockwork Orange. Clockwork Carnage.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: No, I said Clockwork Carnage.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: No, you did. You said Clockwork.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: No, you said Orange.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: We're all the.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Bad kids, and you'll be wrong, but....
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: It doesn't really matter.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I just feel good.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: If there is an upset in one of these matches,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: it could be to set up something for blood and guts,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: which is not very far away. If you look at
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the matchups, for instance, Brian Cage, Don Callis family against
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: former Don Callis family. Can I say, Tecesta's not in
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the family anymore, is he now?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: No.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It's been gone so long, you know, you just don't know.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: The demand of the Bang Bang Gang, Ricochet and Ace Austin,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that could set something up. You know, my personal feeling, though,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest with you, my personal feeling is,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: if there is an upset, I think it's going to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: be a big upset. I think at Jacero. over Darby
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Allin for the TNT Championship. And again, that sets up
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Don Callis' family against Darby Allin, who will take all
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of them on by himself in a blood and guts match.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: That's a set I most want to see.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: If Heche wins, he gets the... I don't see... That's
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: just Sarah with the TNT title. Yeah, I don't see
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: that either.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Barry, I'm not saying that I see it, but I'm
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: saying is that if there, if it was, I'm not
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: predicting an upset, but I'm saying is that if there
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: was an upset that I would like to see, that's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the one.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Who mentioned Ace Austin? Was that you too, Kelson, a
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: second ago? Yeah, me.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: That was you.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: You know, Coming back to kind of what I was saying,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: if there's going to be an upset, you want a
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: younger guy, even featured on TV, that you want to
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: spotlight in this match. They're probably going to eat some pins,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: but this is a chance to get him in there
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: with some main event talent and give him the rub. So, like, Myron,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I think he's ready for a run. I don't think
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: he's going to beat Takeshita. But coming back to the
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Demand versus the Bang Bang Ding... Oh, God, I'm sorry.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I could see Ace, you know, getting that
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: rub in there. He would kind of be the odd
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: man out. But if you're going to start featuring a
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: guy to build him up, you know, Ace eats a
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: lot of pins.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: But.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: If you can get him in there and get him over,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: people are going to go crazy. I don't think that's
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: too far-fetched. I don't think there's going to be any
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: upsets in these matches, but if they do, I'm hoping
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: it's Myron or Ace, and they get a rub working
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: in that big-time match with some of those top stars.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I see what you're saying, because Myron Reed had
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a match a couple weeks ago.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: He's ready.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, he lost, but everybody loved it. They loved it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: That's what's important here.
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Fans are ready to get behind him, too. It's time
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: he gets a run.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why I wish Okada and Darby were
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: not even in qualifying matches. Nothing against them at all.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I freaking love both of them, but I want them
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: defending their titles at WrestleDream.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Rollins, let me ask, I'm going to put you on
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the spot. Of the seven matches that are already booked
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: for WrestleDream, there's two that stand out as possible main
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: event matches, one being the Clockwork Carnage. Hey, I said it!
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: The Clockwork Carnage match, and the other being the AEW
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Women's World Championship match between arguably the two most decorated,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: as of late, women's wrestlers in AEW, Mercedes Monet and Tecla.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Which match of those two, if you think another match
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: on the card is going to be main eventing, you
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: can go ahead and say it. I'll I'll think you're crazy,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: but I'll go ahead and say it. Which of those
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: two matches do you think? Don't think with your heart now.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Think with your head. Which one of those matches will
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: be the main event? Rollins. Yeah, I get it. If
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: he's going to pull the trigger, this would be the
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: time to pull the trigger is what you're saying. Okay. Okay, great.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Nat. Nat, I want to hear who
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: you think. Which of these matches is going to be
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the main event?
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: I think the women's match will be. I think that
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: Tony Khan is going to finally pull the trigger. And
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: there are a lot of people who want to see
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: this match, me included. So I think now is the
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: right time. They both have the fans behind them. Everybody
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: wants to see what's going to happen with these two.
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: And I think that this is the time. So the
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: women's match.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, Steve, let's hear what you think.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Steve, not Bill.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: I forgot.
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: Okay, let's see. I'm just thinking of all the matches.
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: And that's for WrestleDream, right? Yeah, I don't see Will
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: Ospreay being a main event match. I would say... I
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: don't know. What's all the other matches? I don't even know.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: You got the best two out of three, Steve. That's
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: what I'm thinking, mate. They need some time to cook.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: The tag match, yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: Who's in that two of three match?
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Bandit at New Day and Swerve. Not New Day. New
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Level and Swerve versus Bandito, Hanger, and Brody.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: That's going to be a banger, eh?
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: Well, that's cool. That's up there for me, man. But, yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: I see the appeal there. And the excitement behind the
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: Mercedes match. So I'm going to go with that match.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: I don't... Yeah, that's the match, man. Main event.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, then let's go to Val.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: It's difficult in the sense that the.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Clockwork is going to be a very long match. So
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: if you don't want to kill the buzz and the
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: mood of the place.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Let's start with that and finish off with Mercedes and
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Tecla at the end.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: So you're thinking Mercedes and Tecla is the main event? Okay.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I would just want to clarify that.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Barry, I know.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: That you're going to be at this show and you're
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: going to cross one off your bucket list. So let's
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: hear what you got to say. Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: So I finally get to see Mercedes wrestle live. She's
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: one of the ones that has eluded me. So I'm super,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: super excited. Be on camera about 10 or 12 rows up,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: center screen. I love the cool Suplex Bro t-shirt on,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: white text on black font. Might bring a sign that
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: says the same thing. Anyway, I think it's either going
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: to be Clockwork Carnage or the two out of three falls.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Mashes either are going to open or close. Because of
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: the amount of time those matches are going to take,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: I don't see how you don't have them bookend. If
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: I had to If I had to guess or pick,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I would go with the Clockwork Carnage as the finish
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: for the show. I think Mercedes and Tecla will be
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: right in the middle, and that's your kind of three acts.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: You got your tag match. You got whatever that follows
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: that that's going to die. You have the women's title match,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: which is going to be great. You have whatever after
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: that that's going to die, and then you lead into
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: the Clockwork Carnage. match to finish the show. So I
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: think that's how a little structure leads.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what was the one that you picked in
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: the show, Clockwork Carnage?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Clockwork. You're right, I rambled, Kelsey. My apologies.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Clockwork Carnage. No, I was just distracted. I've got stuff
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: going on. There's a bald eagle flying around. That's the
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: excuse I would go with. Yeah, there's a bald eagle
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: flying around my living room.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: You can see that at night?
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, he scratched my.
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: Head a few times.
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: Stand and salute.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: He's in your living room?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: No, I'm joking. My God. If there was a bald
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: eagle in my living room, do you think I'd be.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I'd be like.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Did you, like, raise it, Kelson?
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: Tell me.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I need to know more.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: About so many questions i i yes i breastfed i
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: breastfed this bald eagle from when it was a baby
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: uh like.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Chew up the fish and throw it up in its
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: mouth like you're eating my throat you know that's how
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: i feed it that's what you would do is that
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: what i should have done anyway yeah That's why it
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: has the limp, because you were breastfeeding it instead of
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: throwing up fish in its mouth.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Oh, God. You know, as far
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: as this.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Next week on a very special episode of AEW Fan
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Hub Podcast, Kelson talks about raising a bald eagle.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: And his nipples hurting.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: And his nipples hurting. Breastfeeding a bald eagle is a bitch.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that right now. I confidently said that.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris. I got to give you my pick.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I totally disagree. Look, people that are in this podcast
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: and have been listening to me, I hate trios matches.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: This two out of three match trios match is going
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: to be hell for me. I don't care who it is.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Two out of three falls in a trios match for
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: me is just hell. That's my bathroom break match right there.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I do not want to see. You know one's going
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to win the first fall and one's going to win
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the second fall. I'll watch the third fall. Put it
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: that way. I'll be back for the third fall.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: What if Eddie Kingston is in the match, Kelsey?
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: We can only hope.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: If Eddie Kingston gets injured pre-show and they fill him
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: with Eddie Kingston.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: That's what we can hope for. Put that evil on me.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, there you go.
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: Oh, no, it's going to, man, that'd be great.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if Eddie Kingston's in the match, whatever. But anyway,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: let me make my pick. It's got to be the
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Clockwork Carnage match. I totally disagree with that. I think
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: this match is, on paper, looking at this match, even
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: if all the champions win, I just don't see this
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: match being very good. I really don't. I am not
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: looking forward to this match. And frankly, you know, running
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the subreddits and the, you know, different social media, you know, not...
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe it'll pick up after the qualifying matches are done,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: but I honestly have not seen anybody talking with any
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: sort of excitement about, hey, I can't wait to see
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: this Clockwork Carnage match. It's just not there. It really isn't.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: So I think this was a dud. Go ahead, Rollins. Okay. Yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I think one of the things is that nobody's really
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: sure of the rules because they've never, as Rollins said,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: nobody's seen this match before. You know, like I could
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: ask Nat right now, Nat, how many centimeters in a kilometer?
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: I have no idea.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Well, nobody knows the same thing. That's the same thing
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: about the, what's the rules of the clockwork carnage. And
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: if you're not sitting there with whatever, but what I'm
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: saying is if you're not sitting there with the rules, right.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: It's pretty easy, man.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll ask my Eagle anyway.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: No, it's probably 100,000, I guess.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But what I'm saying is, once you
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: have the rules right in front of you, which I don't,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm guessing you guys don't either, I'm pretty sure
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: you can't educate us without looking at the rules.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: I can educate you.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I meant about this match.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Well, the person who could answer that is Will Ospreay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: because that's his idea.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: It is his idea. And they did have that match
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: at Pro Wrestling Eve. what was it, two Fridays ago,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: like six or eight days ago. But the point is,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just one of those things. Nobody really
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: knows what the hell it is. So it's hard to,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: they should have brought this, they should have had a
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: preliminary match. I don't know. This looks like a dynamite
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: match to me.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: So, so I think, I don't, I don't think this
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: was the planned direction for this show initially, but because of,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: the events of the last six weeks, the build to
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: wrestle dream has been more or less non-existent through factors
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: outside of AWS control. I think they did the right things. Um,
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: but I think they felt the need to do a
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: gimmick match. And this was, this is the best thing
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: come up with. Um, I don't know why they went
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: this way, but, I think it's going to be like,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: if you're going to do this for the first time,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: it needs to be on a B show, a B
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: pay-per-view like Russell dream. Like I'm excited. Cause I'm going
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: to be there live. So it's going to be ridiculous.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it's, look, I'm.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Sure it's going to be a fun match, but people
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: aren't going to know what's going on.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: But like, this is the show. I don't think it's that,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: that complicated, man. Like you have people come in and
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: if you get pinned before everybody's in the match, you're out.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: And then once everybody's in, it's an Ironman match. Whoever
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: scores the most pinfalls wins. Like it's not a complicated concept.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: It's basically the Casino Battle Royal, except if you get
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: pinned before everybody enters in, you're out. That's it. I
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: think somebody's going to get pinned because there's seven people.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I think somebody will get pinned before they enter in.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be shocked if I got two to pick.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: It's going to be between Okada and Takeshita to continue
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: that feud. I think one of the two of them
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: will eliminate each other before everybody's entered in. I think
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a good time. Wait, is it
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: seven or eight? No, it's eight people. So maybe two people.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Eight people, yeah.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: You think somebody gets eliminated before the Iron Man part starts?
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: I think two people do. I think that's the swerve.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I think eight people in the Iron Man portion is
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: a bit much. I think they're going to have, I
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: think you're going to see, that's why I think it's
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: between Takeshi and Okada. Like some of the pre-built-in feuds,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: like those two guys, it makes sense, one of the
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: two of them. And I think somebody else will get
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: eliminated as well. So it's really just six people in
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: that Iron Man. The only thing, did anybody, I'm assuming
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: since it's Ironman, it's no DQs, so they can just
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: wrestle anywhere, but can only pin in the, because there's
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: no countouts, so the pins only count in the ring,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: or are they going to have reps everywhere?
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: In Ironman, you can get counted out, you can get DQed,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: any of that. So, yeah. If you get DQed, whoever
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: you hit with the chair gets a, put it, but
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: it wouldn't matter because it's an Iron Man. So if
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: you hit anyone with the chair, they get to fall
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: over you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't do count-outs, though, when you've got six
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: people in there.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Chris. Yeah, yeah. What I'm thinking is I'm pretty sure
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: when I did hear them talk about the rules for
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: this match, they really do need to release a documentary
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: video about the rules for this match, but I'm pretty
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: sure that they specified pins. They specified pins. You can't
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: get count out. I do believe that. That's what happened.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Count outs I can see, but DQs should still be
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: in there to me.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I think it's because Ironman is usually one-on-one, and since
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a multi-man, that makes it no DQs.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: So I think they're going to have multiple refs all
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: over the arena, and I think they can pin anywhere.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: I don't think it has to be in the ring.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Maybe they'll clear that up tomorrow night.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: With all those wrestlers in the ring at the same time,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you know that on the eight, four to six are
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: going to be outside the ring for most of the match.
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: Taking a nap.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: How long is the second period? They put a time limit.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Is it 20 minutes? 15 minutes. So we got how
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: many intervals? Two-minute intervals?
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Three.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Three minutes, so three times eight, so 24 plus 15,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: so we got a 35-minute match.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: At least 45 minutes.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Two starts, so it'd be three times six.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Where are you getting 45 from, Val? 15, so that's
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: six times three is 18, so you got 32?
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: 36?
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Wait, what? I can't do math. I had a Manhattan.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: It's a 30-minute match. Listen, six times.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: three listen max caster all.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Right it's okay six times.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Three bombs kelson no.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Let's not listen okay let's stay on let's stay on
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: course here okay listen please come on six times never
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: mind let's go on to the next match match is
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: the worst all right i agree listen six times listen
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: okay everybody mute six times three is 18 and then
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: there's a 15 minute period that's the iron man match
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: that's 31 minutes it's not that hard okay so i
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: was unless it's 33 it's it's not 33 Unless you
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: have the first wrestler come out and stand in the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: ring picking his nose, doing nothing for three minutes until
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the second wrestler comes out. But since the first wrestler
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: is definitely not going to be Eddie Kingston, that is
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: not going to happen.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: What if there's overtime?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: There is going to be overtime. I guarantee you. Oh, really?
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not getting out of addition financial until.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Like 1 a.m., aren't I? Tony Khan is nothing if
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: not predictable. I mean, it really is predictable. This match
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: is going to go into overtime. There is no way
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: this match is going to end in quote unquote regulation
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the question is the question is who's going to win
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: it will osprey there's no way he's going to lose
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: his own match.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Agree hey pro tip for anybody thinking of going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: the show i would encourage you to check out if
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: you're looking at tickets there aren't many left section 110
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: 111 or 112 The reason I'm suggesting those is because
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: those are the club seats and they're padded. For a
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: five-hour show, you're going to really appreciate those padded seats
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: over the hard plastic ones in the rest of the arena.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Until Darby Allen gets his neck wrapped around, gets those
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: pads wrapped around his neck.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Or gets blood on it and that's going to stain it.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: And then I'll have to take a picture of the
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: first basketball game in a couple weeks. Here's the chair
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: that Darby Allen's blood is in. Hopefully it's not mine
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: because I'm in the front row.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just curious here. Does anybody here, without getting
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: into a big, long thing, does anybody here think that
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Will Ospreay is not going to come out of this
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: match as the AW World Champion?
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: No, he has to.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: No, he will. I think he's going to get knocked
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: unconscious somehow, though. I have a feeling something's going to happen.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: In kayfabe?
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in kayfabe.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, something's going to go on.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: You know, with the whole Steve Borden thing, Stephen Borden thing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Let's not wish that kind of thing.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Well, no, not for real, for real.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: For real. Okay, anybody else? Could be. Could be. All right,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: let's move on. We got, of course, Mercedes Monet against
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Tecla for the AW Women's World Championship. I think that
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: this may be Maybe one of the matches that is
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: actually kind of up in the air a little bit.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: You know, I can't really say. I think Mercedes is
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: going to win. But Tecla's got a shot. What do
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: you guys think?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Mercedes wins.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Mercedes has to win. And Barry, you're going to be
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: blown away by Mercedes.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: She's beautiful.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: She's powerful.
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: You're going to enjoy and Tecla as well. So enjoy
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: this match, Barry.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: I'm really looking forward to seeing, oddly, Tecla in person
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: because I really want to see just how tiny she is.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: She's like 5'1, right?
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she's 4'11, to be honest with you.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: She's teeny. But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Big D, Monet,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: and Tecla throw down here. I think Mercedes retains, but
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: I do think this is kind of the start of
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: the Tecla face turn. fans are ready to cheer as
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: a baby face or promos or baby face promos intentional
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: or not. And it's, it's time to let her run
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: with it. They need another, they need another top baby
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: face in the women's division. And I'm hoping there's some,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: some postgame shenanigans and tech comes out as a, as
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: a big time baby face here.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Well, anybody CEO's going to win it. I, okay. Well,
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: I want to go to, I want to go to
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: the chat. I want to go to the chat because
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: I've actually ignored the chat a little bit. Uh, Flyboy
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Rex says, I have a quick question for the podcast.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: If you could rename Clockwork Carnage, what would you call it?
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: That's a really cool question. And my answer, personally, I'll
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: let the others talk. My answer is Steve. I would
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: call it Steve because Steve is always the correct answer.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is. Right, Steve?
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: What?
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: What?
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Someone say me?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Just like when we were talking about how long the
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Clockwork Carnage match should have been. Should be or is
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: going to be. I should have just said 69 because
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: 69 is always the correct answer. So what would you
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: name Clockwork? We'll come back to this. Let you guys
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: think about it. Carnival of Carnage. Carnival of Carnage.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: Will Ospreay's Variety Hour.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Ooh, that's a good one. Will Ospreay's Variety 31 Minutes.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: That would get over.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Will Ospreay's Variety 31 Minutes plus overtime. That's what you
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: should call it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: I would name it Let's Go Max. You're the best
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: wrestler online.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: There you go. Let's Go Max.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: That's what I would name it.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: You're the best match around.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Let's go, Max. You're the best wrestler alive Memorial Battle Royal.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: There it is.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: There it is.
• 34:02
  Speaker 9: Just rolls off the tongue.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think using the word memorial will go over
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Where the hell is MJF, Matt?
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: It's in Japan.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: So we have another something from the chat. Michael, I
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: am not going to try to pronounce that last name,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: even though I'm Italian and it's either Italian or Spanish
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: or something. I'm just not going to pronounce it. But
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: he says, hey, everyone, can't wait for tomorrow night. The
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: card is fire. The Okada-Reed match looks interesting, intriguing.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: And Wolf, like myself, Wolf, these are going to be
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: good wrestling matches, but the predictability should have been masked.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Instead of announcing the matches, make each participant a surprise
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: so the live crowd doesn't know. Imagine Cope's music hit
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: as a surprise. It would have been a more pleasurable experience.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I agree with that part.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: It's a good take.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take away from the predictability. It doesn't matter.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, whether the matches are announced five days or
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: 30 seconds before the actual bell rings, it's still predictable.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Did anybody in the match not get a video package
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: about them entering the match?
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about this in a bit because
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I ran into a problem doing these graphics for tonight.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to talk about this a little bit,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: just a little bit. But let's move on to the
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: AEW World Tag Team Championship. The Young Bucks against Kyle
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Fletcher and Kevin Knight. This is kind of intriguing. If
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: there was a match on this card that I would
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: say could end in a no contest, this would be
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: the one that I would think. I don't know. But
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: what do you guys think? That's fair. I'm with you.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: This could be. Go ahead, Chris.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I agree with you on that. I was going to
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: say this is my pick for the show stealer match.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: All four of these guys are so good. The Young
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Bucks are legitimately one of the best tag teams of
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: all time, in my opinion. And the Fletchnights are really
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: gelling well. I like the dynamic of like, I don't
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: really like you, but we're going to work together because
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: we have to. Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this match.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: On paper, it's got everything to be match of the night.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Young Bucks win.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Who else on this match?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I was just thinking, I don't know
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: if I've actually seen the Bucks wrestle live.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, you're going to be in it for a treat.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: I think they've been on the shows I've been to,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: but I don't think I've actually seen them. wrestle live
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: i'd have.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: To go back yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah um and the flip side is like i've seen
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: fletcher put on absolute bangers like every time i've gone
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: um i i like kevin knight a lot and i
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: like kyle fletcher a lot i think this match will
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: end up being overbooked um i think they'll do a
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: great job but i think we're gonna see like motor
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: shooting machine guns i think we're gonna see ftr I
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: think we're going to see a lot of shenanigans come
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: in to kind of obfuscate the Bucks retaining and set
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: up kind of the tag division going forward. But yeah,
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: I've actually gotten Kevin Knight's sweat on me when I
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: was at the Lakeland Collision Show in Lakeland. I don't
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: remember who he was wrestling. It might have been Fletcher, actually.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be a more interesting
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: story than that.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: No, no, nothing to it. Yeah, he got smacked and
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: the spray from the chop got all over all of
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: us in the floor seats. At any rate, I'm rambling. Nat,
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: you go.
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: Me?
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Hot fly caught. Good job, Nat. I agree.
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: I agree. There's going to be a lot of shenanigans
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: in this match, but I think the Young Bucks are
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: going to retain.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: I like Kevin Knight a lot. I like Kyle Fletcher.
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: I like them together. But I think it's setting up
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: for a bigger picture amongst the whole tag team division
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: because it needs some life breathed back into it. There's
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: been a lot of focus on the trios division lately.
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: And with the Young Bucks being champions, there's a lot
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: of potential there. Also, I've seen them live. I've met
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: Kevin Knight. I have pictures.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: And I just, I like.
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: Everybody in this. So I'm excited to see it and
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: see what happens.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Anybody else?
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: I'm going to be short and sweet.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Ralph.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Young Bucks.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: Even though I love Carl and I love Kevin together,
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: at the beginning I was like, I'm not sure, but
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: they gel, they are great, but Young Bucks.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to go with the Young Bucks too. Look,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: when it comes to predictability, Tony Khan doesn't book his
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: recent champions to lose in their first title defense at
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: a pay-per-view. So that being said, the best we can
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: hope for shenanigans here, because I really don't see Kyle
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Fletcher and Kevin Knight winning this match. I don't know
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: if you guys saw, but Kevin Knight did make a
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: statement about Stephen Borden's injury. Remember Steve, it was Kevin
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Knight that was in the ring that, that did the
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: move with Steve Borden that got Stephen Borden's, uh, injured. Uh,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: he said that he's fine. And that Kevin Knight actually
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: said he spent the night in the hospital, uh, with
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Stephen Borden. Uh, so a lot of respect for that. And,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: And if you watch the match, I mean, it must
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: have been unbelievably difficult for both Kyle Fletcher and Kevin
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Knight to stay in character.
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just like, so much respect for that.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: They must have been scared to death, but they had
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: to stay in character. Kudos to them. That kind of
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: thing doesn't get mentioned as much as it should.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I noticed Don Callis, like, immediately when they kind
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: of went outside the ring, he talked to both of
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: them real quick. You know, he had to say, like, hey,
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: we gotta stay in character, you know, we gotta play
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: this off. I mean, he's that kind of, he's got
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: that kind of veteran mindset, like, would know the best
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: thing is to play it off and be heels and
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: get more heat.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: But I'm sure that they, yeah, but just, I'm sure
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: they were, they were, they will probably be a little
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: bit disappointed by the way that the match ended. I'm
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: sure they didn't want to end it that way. So for,
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: for Kevin to take a pop on it itself and,
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: and check on Steven after the match, kudos to him.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it was a, I don't know
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: if it was a pivot, but they were, Knight and
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Fletcher were supposed to go over before Borden got hurt.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: So the finish, they still, the finish ended the same
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: as far as which team went over.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of think so too.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: No. I think Sean Ross and Meltzer both said that
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Fletcher and Knight were still going, were originally planning to
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: go over for that match. So if there was a
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: change in direction to your point, because they weren't available
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: for another match, that's entirely possible. But these guys were
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: supposed to win.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: But also keep in mind that Borden and Darby going over,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: they don't need to win to go over. You know, so.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: They did.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: By the way, Wolf in the chat says this might
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: be the beginning.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: They don't need to win to go over. That's what
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: going over means. You mean get over?
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: I'm confused.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: To get over, you don't have to win a match
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: to get over. So.
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: But anyway, Wolf in the chat says this might be
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the turmoil between Kevin and Kyle. And
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I can actually see that, Wolf. Good point. Maybe he'll
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: sweat on you.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Val, was it you that said that they wear the
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: cologne or the scents?
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't say that.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Somebody said, somebody who was at a live show. I
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: swear I thought it was you, Val, that said when
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: they got thrown into the railing or whatever that they had.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: I swear to God, I thought it was you. All right,
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: never mind. Man.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Those Manhattans you're drinking must be really good.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: I swear.
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: The closest that I got ringside was Dynasty. And it
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: was Darby versus Andrade Bears.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Somebody specifically said Jack Perry smelled like cologne. And I
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: cannot remember who it was. No, it was.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: It wasn't me.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: No, it was.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Who was the.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: We had a guest on once, Pelson, from one of
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: the other subreddits.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Russell Girl?
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: That's who said it. Yeah, I think it was Russell Girl.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I do believe you're right. That, again, has to do
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: with all that shampoo that he has to use. I mean,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: he probably uses a gallon of shampoo every time he showers.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: Could be the conditioner. Could be the conditioner.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Either one. You know, most of the... We, you know, let's...
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: This is.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: The content people want to hear. Absolutely.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Jungle Boy uses a special guava-strawberry-papaya conditioner. That's why it
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: smells so good.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: He always lather, rinses, and repeats.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: There you go. I would say we're still on topic.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Quiet, you.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: We're on top of it. All right, well, let's move
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: on to the next match. That's the Continental Championship match,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: and I was actually surprised because we're doing predictions on...
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: on the AEW Fan Hub subreddit, and I'm actually kind
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: of shocked at how many people actually think that Mark
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Davis could win this match. What do you guys think?
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: It's Moxley.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I'll be rooting for Mark Davis, but Moxley's winning.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: I'll be rooting for Moxley, and Moxley's winning. Go ahead, Rollins.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear what you said, so repeat it. Yeah, Marcus,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: you've got to be here right on time at 845 to.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: See how the podcast, it naturally evolves. Because we start
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: on topic, and then we go way off topic pretty quickly.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: And that's when we're the most entertaining, to be honest
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 45:18
  Speaker 9: And Barry's drunk, too, so it's fun.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: And Barry's drunk.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: First off, I am not drunk. I had one man hat.
• 45:27
  Speaker 9: Come on, fist them down.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: In a beer jug.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: There he can't hold his liquor.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: I said, geez, El Piso, guys. How did I get
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: labeled as the drunk guy?
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Well, before the podcast.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: I would argue that if you go back and listen
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: to my commentary, I am very articulate and well-reasoned.
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, you are.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Thanks for having my back there on that. Very true.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: Big, medium man.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Anybody else with an actual prediction about this match?
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: I think Mark Davis could win. So I guess I'm
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: in the minority. I think he could do it.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Are you also drinking that?
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: Surprisingly not, no. But remember, I live in Washington State,
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: so infer as you will.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: What does that mean?
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Is the air fermented there or something?
• 46:25
  Speaker 9: Yes, very much so.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: Just breathing it in.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: It's earthy.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: It has an earthiness to it.
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: Yes. Very earthy and rich.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: God, this is weird.
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: This is a fun podcast.
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: Okay, I do. I think he could win. I think
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: he's been doing some big things lately, and I think
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: it would be a surprise win. But I think he
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: could do it, especially now. I think Moxley might need
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: a little time off, and this is a way to
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: let him have some time off without making it very sad.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: By time off, you mean he can go to Japan?
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and a little time because he lost his friend. But,
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: you know, just a little step away. Yeah, and going
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: to Japan, I think that would be good for him.
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: Always fun. Yeah, I think Mark Davis could do it.
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: I think so. I'd like to see it. Give him
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: a chance.
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: Don't Godzilla right on.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: He's going to be the winner.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: See?
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Don't Godzilla. See, Steve? Steve's got the mindset.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, don't Godzilla, man.
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: Man, that dude is huge, man.
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: Get some shirts printed up.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: And we're ready to go.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: But to be fair, Steve's from Winnipeg. That's true.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: So.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: He's got him. Yeah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that's right.
• 48:02
  Speaker 9: That's right. Where's the fucking blue? Where is blue?
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, now we have the explicit lyric tag on, thanks
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: to Steve.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Steve is the one that's usually first.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: We almost made it. It's usually Chris. It's Steve. Congratulations.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: He finally was with me.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: Almost.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: I got too excited. We'll edit it in post, Steve.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: To be fair, Steve has taken one too many hockey
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: pucks to the head. Yeah, that's true.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: You guys are getting on me for drinking Manhattan, and
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: Steve's the one dropping F-bombs.
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: I'm also kind of high.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: That's all that gets you.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: See, Steve, there you go.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: I said it was very earthy here, and you immediately.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: That makes three of us, I guess.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: You know, and here I am just trying to make
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: it through this podcast. I mean, I've got a cat
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: that's constantly farting around me and this freaking bald eagle
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: flying through my living room.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: How's the cat handling the eagle? Are they all.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I just said that the cat is farting constantly
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: underneath me. Hiding underneath the desk, farting. You know? Scared
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: of the eagle.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: I need to know what the eagle's name is. Mortimer.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Mortimer. Come on, I already told everybody what the correct
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: name is.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Steve.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: My cat is Steve. My dog is Steve. And my
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: eagle is Steve.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: So when you walk in, you just go, it's Steve.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they all come running. I don't have to
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: complicate things. Keep it simple, stupid.
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: There you go, Michael Scott.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Again, like I said, if you keep it simple, my
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: thought process is keep it simple, stupid. And because I'm stupid.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: And it helps me a lot.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: You know what? Let's get to the next match.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Okay. Before we go to the next.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Before we go to the next match, I do want
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: to say something. And this is something that is kind
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: of telling about this pay-per-view. Okay. When I went to
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: find the match graphics to put in the, if you're
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: watching on YouTube, you can see them. I mean, the
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: match graphics are there. With the next match, the Trios match,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: which is what we're going to talk about, AEW only
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: released a portrait match graphic. They didn't do a landscape
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: match graphic. Boy, oh boy, this sequel is driving me insane.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: Um, It just rolls off the tongue, Kelsey.
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: It does.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: There are no... Now, again, now the other two matches
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: that we're going to talk about after the trios match,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: and this is really interesting. As of 4 o'clock this afternoon,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: the match that features Andrade Alidolo and Tommaso Ciampa for
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: the AEW National Championship, and then the Women's Tag Team Championship,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: the Brawling Birds against Rathlander, AEW did not do a
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: match graphic for them at all. I looked everywhere. I
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: looked on their official page. They had all the other
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: match graphics except for those two. So what I had
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: to do was some guy on TikTok, as a matter
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: of fact, did this match graphic, which isn't really a
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: match graphic. It's just a picture of the combatants in
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: the trios match. But the reason I'm bringing this up
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: is It may or may not be AI. I don't know.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: But it's the only thing that I can use. So
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: if you're one of those people that I can't stand
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: on the Internet, the AI freaking police drive me insane.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: You know, go ahead and say AI slop to this.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and post it. I'll let it go. Because
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: it's like, my God, if it is AI, it's a
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: good use of AI. Put it that way. And it's
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: necessary because there's no match graphic for it. At least
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: there wasn't at the time. So this is the two
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: out of three balls match. Is it not?
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Between Swerve and the new level, which I called
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: the new order last week.
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: I thought you said two balls match.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Two balls match.
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: I really thought you said that.
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: I heard that too.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, now you know what's going to happen now, Nat.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: You know what's going to happen now? Now we're going
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: to have drunk-ass Barry try to do math to figure
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: out how many balls are in this match.
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: Well, something's wrong with me because I was thinking about
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: what I said about Pac. And you remember, Kelson, when
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: I said I didn't recognize him dry? So you guys
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: remember that?
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: Oh, I remember that too.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: That's one of the best lines from this show ever.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: That's one of the best lines ever. Damn.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I may have walked past Pac on
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: the street and he was dry and was wearing pants
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: and that would have just totally thrown us off.
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Poor Pac.
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: Oh, this one with that two balls match. I was like,
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: what the hell is going on?
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Including the ref.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: By the way.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: If we include the ref, it's 15 balls.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: But it's a three balls match. I must have misspoke.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Best of three balls.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: The best of three balls.
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: Oh, there it is. Trademark that. Trademark it.
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: Tip your waders, everybody.
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: I don't know what's wrong with me.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Best of three balls. It's the fermented air in the
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest.
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it is.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, but yeah.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah.
• 54:26
  Speaker 9: I think with this match, I think it goes to like,
• 54:29
  Speaker 9: you know, this is like their first pay-per-view defense for
• 54:33
  Speaker 9: the title. No, they didn't.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Uh, this same match at, um... Oh God, what was
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: the last paper?
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: All Out.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. One fall. That's why this one is a
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: two out of three falls.
• 54:46
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Hmm. I am going with the good, the bad, and
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: the guapo.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: El guapo.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, el guapo.
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna say Swerve's team. With the new level.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I wanna see that, too.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: I agree.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Wolf in the chat actually said, man, this is the
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: greatest pod the fan hub has ever done. LMAO. Wolf,
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: weren't you here for Caleb's Mongol embassy? Oh, my God.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: We were dying. We were dying.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: So what I'm hearing is all of us need to
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: start drinking before we start.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Next week, the title of our podcast would be AEW
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Fan Hub, Sauced Up, and that's it. You know?
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: It wouldn't be spelled in English, man.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: It'd be misspelled everywhere. Yeah, don't worry about AI slop.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Or it could be AEW Fan Hub's Ignition, Three Balls
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: to the Wall. There you go, right there.
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: That would be funny.
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: Oh, goodness.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: All right, well, let's keep going here because we've got
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: to wrap this up because Barry's going to pass out soon.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with your drinking problem.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: I go to bed at 10 o'clock, all right? So
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: that's a you problem. Okay. I smell like cat farts
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: and eagle poop, so there you go. I smell like
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: Jack Perry's cologne.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: Jack Perry shampoo.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: All right. So there. Okay. So let's, let's move on.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: The AW national championship match. Andrea Andrade, El Idolo and
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Tommaso Ciampa. I personally think this is going to open
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: How do you know? I didn't say Andrea El Idolo, Kelsey.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: Andre.
• 56:47
  Speaker 8: Andrade. Andre. Andrade.
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: He's forever going to be Andre now.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: And yeah.
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: Forever Andre.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Andre versus Thomas Champion. We're just going to remove the L.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be Andre Italo against Tommy Champa.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: So who's going to win this match?
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: Tommy Champa.
• 57:10
  Speaker 9: I'm hoping Champa.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: Tommy Champa.
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: I'm dying.
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: Andre the Idol versus Tommy Ciampa.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: No, it's got to be Tommy.
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: Andre Ciampa. Do we need to pick a winner? I
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: think we've done enough.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Andre the regular size versus Tommy Ciampa.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, Lord.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Are we still good?
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Let's get to the picks because we still got another
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: match and we got one more discussion topic and Barry
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: has to go to bed.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: I got a hard out of 10.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: Andre wins.
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: I'm hoping Tommy wins.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: You know, I got to say, I actually think Tommaso
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Ciampa is going to win because that now opens up Andrade,
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Andrade El Idolo to rally and Go after the world championship,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: which I think may happen at full gear.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: Not yet.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: Full circle right there. I think Tommy Chompers wins after
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: MJF interferes and costs Andre the Idol his title.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: If it doesn't happen at full gear, it'll be MJF
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: versus Andrade at full gear. If it isn't Andrade against
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Will Ospreay, because there's no way Will Ospreay is losing
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: this match.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Anybody else with any thoughts? Yeah, but that's not a pay-per-view,
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: and Andrade deserves a main event pay-per-view match. I mean,
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: the guy is doing tremendous work.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: He's completely over with the crowd.
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: He's fabulous.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, before Andrade left, I always wished that he
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: was used better because he was one of my favorite wrestlers.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Now he's just doing, he's hitting on all cylinders.
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's being used correctly now.
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: He's using all three ballparks.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Perfectly. Yep, that's true.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: The ball is in three-fourths.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: That's why he says how you know, because he's got
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: that extra package.
• 59:23
  Speaker 8: He's got that advantage.
• 59:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: Here's why.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's taken a little bit too far. Three is
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: the limit.
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: That's where we draw the line.
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: You will see him take his pants.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get ready for that. Four reserved for me.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: I'm begging him to tear away pants, though, because it's
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: always so awkward when he has to pull them over
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: his boot.
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: Are you speaking from experience there, Chris?
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Actually, yes.
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, man, that's so.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 9: I want to see that. I want to see that.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Well, don't forget the special selfie that Tommaso Ciampa took
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: and gave to the babe in the stands that was
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: following Andrade. But wasn't that at.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: I said Andrade again.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, you did.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that at Grand Slam Mexico as well?
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: Keep moving, guys.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 8: Come on.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Tommaso Ciampa is never going to be... Okay, let's go
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: to the last match. Brawling Birds against Wrathlander.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: Why? Brawling Birds win. Wrathlander's a transitional challenger.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: Jeez, this might be the first match.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: No, this is match two.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a cut-down match. This is
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: kind of thing, yeah. I mean, Tommaso, like if Andrade
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: and Tommaso Ciampa are the first match. That's going to
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: be a banger. This would be a come down.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is one that's going to follow. Yeah,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: this is either going to follow that match that I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: just mentioned or the two out of three falls match.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: Did you say two out of three balls match?
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: He did. I see.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, I like all four involved, but this match,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: it is what it is. It's, you know, the least
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: hyped match on the show.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: It's probably the match that people have the least interest in.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: When we did the... We did a thing on the
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: subreddit where we had people rank the matches for all in.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: And it was interesting because the Brawling Birds versus the
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Divine Dominion was way behind every other I mean, it
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: wasn't even close.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 8: Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt, guys. One of my neighbor's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 8: apartments is on fire.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: I got to go.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, Nat.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: All right. Bye-bye. Well, that's a downer.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You okay there, Steve? Yeah. I mean, Barry? Yeah.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: I froze a little bit there when she said that.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: Other Steve.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: The other Steve.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Barry Steve.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're all Steve. Come on.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, come on.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: But anyway.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: The Steve Collective.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: So does everybody think that the Brawling Birds are going
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: to win this match?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think so.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I have one other thing to talk about. And
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: that is, like, are there any other matches? This is
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: seven matches on the main card. That's a very light pay-per-view.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, the last pay-per-view, all out, I think at
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: eight at least. Seven is going to be short. But
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: keep in mind that you have, you know, the.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: Two out.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 6: Of three falls and then the clockwork.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the two out of three falls and the 31-minute
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: plus overtime clockwork carnage match. Do you think that they're
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: going to add another match? For example, Persephone doesn't have
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: a match. she is in Mexico Friday night teaming with
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Britt Baker against Tessa Blanchard and oh god oh Thunder
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Rosa so yeah that's true so do you think that
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: 7 is enough?
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: It's enough I don't want to be there until 2am.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 9: Is there a pre-show or something?
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there will be. There will probably be a
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: tailgate brawl or something like that.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: A tailgate brawl, yeah. I already saw it on my...
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: I'm going to miss it. It's one hour before WrestleDream starts.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: It's going to be a long night of wrestling.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, with these matches, I mean, seven matches
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: may be it, except we have two or three on
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: the pre-show. It could be. It could be on the pre-show, too. Yeah.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: It would be on a pre-show.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: I don't see Jericho in a pre-show.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't see that, man.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: You know what? Actually, Jericho and Nick Wayne would be
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: a good match to add because you could put it
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: after one of the really big matches. Jericho is a
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: master of doing that kind of slow start to let
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: the crowd relax a little after the big match and then...
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: get them into it for the end of the match
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: and build it back up.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: That'll be on the cruise. They'll do that match on
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: the Jericho cruise.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: Or that too, yeah.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's in a couple weeks. That's where I think
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: that's going to happen at least.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: The other thing I wanted to ask you guys, do
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: you see any debuts or returns coming on this people?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was honestly kind of hoping for four qualifying
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: matches and a mystery entrant because you could have Ilya
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: Dragunov do that Like, that's what I was really hoping
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: for with him. I don't know a really good way
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: to introduce him unless it's after the Moxley match and he's,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: you know, saying, I'm in the Continental class.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: You know, there is one thing to point out here.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: Kairi Sane has been confirmed for the Jericho Crews. So
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: perhaps she did use the Jericho Crews. I think it's
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: the 11th of next month.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 9: It's in November.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Okay. The next month is November, Val.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's true. It's the first Saturday of November.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: It's the seventh.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: So the fourth is a Wednesday. I think it's the seventh.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: The seventh is a Saturday.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: It's the seventh.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. But anyway, Kairi Sane is confirmed for the Jericho cruise.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: And of course, they are doing an AW collision live
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: from the Jericho cruise. That's going to be interesting. Uh,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: to do something live on a cruise.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 9: Like a surprise.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Surprise. Yeah. So anyway, you never know. You never know.
• 1:06:29
