[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, hello, hello, hello, Brain Harrington here with Davey Portman for Poison, Ronna Live, you found us in whatever podcast app you are choosing to use, and it's Sunday, February 15th, cheap chocolate day.
0:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Tupium, which means,
0:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We are live on youtube.com slash at poison rana pod.
0:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello YouTube room.
0:28
[SPEAKER_00]: How are we doing?
0:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello YouTube room.
0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello all the poison pals and the friends out there today.
0:36
[SPEAKER_00]: We gather to talk about some wrestling.
0:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to have some grand slams, a good eight.
0:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about some roads to Mania, elimination chamber, some A-dubs, and a whole lot more as we say the wrestling.
0:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Never stops.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Never stops.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, big week last week was we were very WWE heavy.
1:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we're going to flip that this week with pretty pretty great dynamite.
1:06
[SPEAKER_01]: We had on Wednesday.
1:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously a W. Grandslam Australia yesterday bumper collision edition yesterday down under will be talking all about that today.
1:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And then maybe a bit about the build to elimination chamber, WrestleMania, WrestleMania ticket sales, 25% off on a by one get one free tonight extravaganza will be going there today.
1:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Lots and lots to talk about.
1:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to Vegas today.
1:35
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going.
1:36
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, like it's, I saw that thing and I was like, huh.
1:40
[SPEAKER_01]: like first, first year in a long time, like I haven't even considered going to WrestleMania.
1:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year I had booked a hotel, like when the dates were announced, like I always just do that cancelable just in case.
1:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I seem to want to go and then as the months were ticking away, more and more people were dropping out and called it off.
2:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And then this year I'm hearing, you know,
2:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Vegas are missing the Canadians, Vegas are dropping hotel prices.
2:09
[SPEAKER_01]: They want tourism, Vegas wants us, and then we see a legion stadium dropping that tweet 25% of tickets, and I'm like, I think I'll enjoy the experience at the National Justice March, and I have a few trips planned, but you know what, it's slightly tempted.
2:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Not that I have a fucking clue what the card is going to be, but it's, yeah, it looks like things are finally like biting them on the ass a little bit from, you know, running the same market, to jacking up these ticket sales and pair that with a bit of black or creativity and then putting out a show on Netflix where they admit they're like in creativity, it's the perfect storm
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like hearing casinos being like, hey, Canadians, we miss you, we'll honor your dollar at par.
3:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it an insane thing?
3:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Just our dollar is so low compared to your, the American dollar right now.
3:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And that casinos are trying anything to get people back.
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But then, I heard horror stories from the last year or so with not just WrestleMania weekend, but just like friends or family members who have been to Vegas in the last year or so.
3:27
[SPEAKER_00]: like insane amount.
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: The craziest thing I knew I was out WrestleMania last year when someone told me the hotel they stayed at downtown on the strip charged them 50 dollars to use just to use the fridge in the hotel and I was like that just sounds illegal That's like when you play roller coaster tycoon and you charge a lot of money for the washrooms or something like how fuck does that?
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing Jake now in the chat bringing that up.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It's insane.
3:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So I have no sympathy for the scumbags who are running the show down in Vegas because charging someone to use a fridge in a, in a probably a hotel suite that you're already paying for.
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's just stupid.
4:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is happening around.
4:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I work obviously in the bar industry here.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And the sales like this year are down.
4:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And like talking to other people, other bars and things, they're like, yeah,
4:24
[SPEAKER_01]: people aren't going out anymore and granted it's it's that time of year you know people do their dry January dry February they have their resolutions they spent a lot of Christmas at New Year and things like that but like we look at the the Super Bowl sales and their down and and there's like lots of things that are down from previous years and it's interesting because I think we you know we came out COVID and places were open and up and places were
4:52
[SPEAKER_01]: You know inflation and jacking up prices because they were trying to make up for lost like lost time when the bars were closed and prices just get kept going up and up and up and up and up and it's lost people and if you look around the city now the happy hours in bars a cheaper than they were a year or so ago so many happy hours so many cheaper drinks which
5:18
[SPEAKER_01]: because they've realized it's like, oh fuck, we've reached that saturation point and we need to try and get these people back.
5:24
[SPEAKER_01]: But unfortunately, you've lost a lot of people, especially like your Gen Z, I'd say, who were like, they came out, oh no, that's expensive.
5:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd rather...
5:34
[SPEAKER_01]: make money doing a dance on TikTok and sell home.
5:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not necessarily enticing to bring people out.
5:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You see people sharing cocktails now, if they do go out and drinking less and less.
5:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's just the same everything.
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think WWE, they were riding that success.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were going, well, we can jack these prices up a little bit.
5:56
[SPEAKER_01]: We can jack these prices up a little bit.
5:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, running the same market where I think people that went to Vegas last year are like, ah, well, I just did that last year.
6:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need to do that again.
6:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus, wow, look at those prices.
6:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I ain't spending that.
6:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, look at these hotel prices.
6:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I ain't spending that.
6:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And now suddenly they're like, oh, sorry.
6:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, can you can you come back, please?
6:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I feel for those people that have already bought tickets.
6:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I've been spending that money and then you say, what the fuck I could have get 25% off this?
6:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
6:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I be mad and I think that's why we in a lot of our people tend to just play the game a little bit and wait things out and see if they drop.
6:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's very interesting and I know my friend, a mutual friend of ours goes to
6:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Niagara Falls, New York, and the amount of stuff they throw at him because he's got a Canadian address.
7:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He calls up and he's like, hey, he gets offered free hotel stays all the time, and now basically it's any time he calls.
7:08
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, hey, I'm thinking of coming down and Wednesday, do you have a room?
7:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, we'll give it to you for free.
7:14
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll give you a free upgrade.
7:15
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll give you $50 free spending money and a free meal at the restaurant and this and this and it's crazy and the Americans aren't getting those offers.
7:25
[SPEAKER_01]: It's because
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He's Canadian, he's a tourist, and they need to fill these places.
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's very interesting seeing somewhere as Vegas, which you consider, like, the mecca of supposedly, C-nose and all that kind of thing really struggling right now.
7:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, of course, they're going to offer, you know, they still will offer lots of free drinks and free stays and stuff, stay in nice rooms for, you know, maybe the elite and people who are, you know, who use who go to Vegas often, but they clearly are hurting.
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing on the news here in Canada and Toronto, they're saying like lots of flights this year, this year of 2026.
8:04
[SPEAKER_00]: some airlines have just cancelled some of the normal flights to the states because the sales are so down that they're like we'll lose money if we're only flying like a half plain full of people to certain destination because this less people are kind of going to it.
8:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I know last year we were pretty heavy and going into the U.S. we went a few times for different wrestling events and so much but we kind of joked whether it was on the show or in person with ourselves and our friend group like okay.
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: 2026.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's try not to go to the States.
8:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's try not to, you know, there's other countries, you know, you're from, we're part of the Commonwealth where you're from.
8:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, yeah, we can go back there, all in, Wembley, you're going to Asia.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to, like, not go.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to Vancouver.
8:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, let's try to do Canada stuff.
8:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, of course, it's like Grand Slam, Queens.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, fuck you.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Just when that thought I was out, they pulled me back in, but it's like, I don't want to,
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: support right now, just because whenever I turn on my TV, you got the president of the United States, you happen out of either telling us that the only thing we're good at is ice hockey, and about 20 minutes ago, yeah, we are.
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: 10, 10, 2, Canada, France, by the way.
9:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So you say, get fucked.
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no chance you're beating that dream team.
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And then second of all, if he's not trying to disus and hockey, even though we wipe the floor with you guys, sorry, not sorry, hey, or he's trying to annex us and and and jokes still still joking about how he could just take us over.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the jokes are like, hey, look what I did to Venezuela, that could be you.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like fuck off.
9:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't want to go give you guys money right now.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: state comfortably where I am.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is weird watching, watching that in Vegas.
9:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, please, Canadians come back.
9:48
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, they're still people traveling.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, like, borders should not separate us as people.
9:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you got that guy pretty much threatening our existence, it's hard not to take take things personally.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And on the fact of taking things personally, those fucking tariffs are taking away all my favorite Costco.
10:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So all my favorite American Costco products are no longer becoming available.
10:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I am taking it personally.
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm very upset.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So if it does go to USA team Canada in Men's hockey, which
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably still will in the finals.
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
10:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you watched any of this?
10:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't catch this morning's game, but yeah, I've seen.
10:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this was the third game right.
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen game one and two so far.
10:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Very well.
10:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a it's just like they're just showing off at this point said the kid and is not so kid, but it was last it's like he's on a sting run basically is Crosby, but
10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know if I want to support going to the United States any time soon, but we have, we have shows coming to Canada.
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We got stuff to do in our own country, but again, borders don't define us.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I love all our American friends and stuff, but get it, get it, and check guys, get it, and check whatever is going on.
11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have a lot of stuff to talk about.
11:11
[SPEAKER_00]: We have,
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: elimination chamber coming up we got WrestleMania you mentioned why not watch WrestleMania at national that is something we will be doing that is obviously a bit ways away but we can kind of quasi announced now we will be doing a two-night event in Toronto at national in the well downtown so we have a lot of fun you know borders might separate us but wrestling it brings us together and that's what we're going to do also
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: in a few weeks.
11:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Saturday, February 28th, we will be doing an elimination chamber watch party downtown Toronto.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Poisonrona.ca for links of the tickets and all the information.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to come watch, we'll have it on all the screens.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: The big screen as well.
11:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Some games, some raffles.
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We still got some prizes to give away.
11:59
[SPEAKER_01]: We do, we might need to top up a little bit, but yeah, we've got some great masks, we've got the Austin vest, the DX jersey, we'll get some tickets for some local shows, yeah, we always have a bunch of stuff, got some wrestling figures and Funko Pops, if Amazon ever decided to deliver them, yeah, we got a lot.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, definitely looking forward to some some raffles and some prizes and then watching wrestling.
12:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're in the Toronto area, you want to come watch the elimination chamber and then down the line, we'll be doing it mainly as well.
12:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So tons of fun stuff happened in the city of Toronto as well as like looking ahead.
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Demand Lucha are pals there.
12:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They're doing a bunch of shows one show in March, one show in April as well.
12:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Northern Crown got another show coming up.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: We love their stuff as well so any wrestling super strong wherever you are support your independent wrestling because a lot of the times the people you watch will end up
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: being on TV, I know the AW was just in Australia that we'll talk about, but they did their house show and then they also, yeah, the rest was showing up at a lot of other independence and whatnot.
13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So wrestling just pop and off right now.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's asking about wrestling.
13:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you find the people you're at a bar and people know you're the wrestling guy?
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But do you find that even more so than last year that people are just seemed to know about it more?
13:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It just seems to be in that cultured thing.
13:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I'd say a bit less maybe than last year, but it's I always do like there was there was nothing on TV last night because we got the Olympics so there was no hockey, it was the all star NBA so there was no like normal yet a lot of basketball games on a Saturday night that we didn't have that so really struggling to for what to put on.
13:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had I had a cross on for a little bit I had a
13:53
[SPEAKER_01]: women's college basketball on for a bit and then I ended up just throwing on all in 2024 on the bar and one of the screens and it it does always draw rise when you've got wrestling on and it was interesting because people were asking about it and they're like wow this is in this is in England I thought it was only popular in America I didn't realize it was so big as this and
14:17
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of explaining what AEW is.
14:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, oh, I haven't heard of this AEW thing.
14:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And one guy who, like, doesn't particularly like wrestling at all, but was asking about it.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, so are they a rival?
14:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, yeah, I guess so.
14:32
[SPEAKER_01]: The biggest competition WWE has, financially WWE is still like leagues ahead of them.
14:39
[SPEAKER_01]: But,
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: technically they do have the record for the highest tickets sales for an event and he just went like fuck yeah basically like like this story who's like Vince McMahon's a horrible person like fuck yeah that's great like great to see it's not necessarily my thing but it's cool to see that there is there are other options and there are like being able to compete on like a big scale and have it like a big show so
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah that was that was kind of cool so things like that i think people are a curious about and um but i don't know if it's as big in pop culture as it was say like you know the WrestleMania 40 build or like that
15:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think because you had WrestleMania 40 and then what like the Vince thing last year like the documentary series right so yeah like that definitely had a lot of people buzzing and talking about it but I'm noticing still like you're seeing crossovers like I went to I went to a mall which I felt like I haven't been inside a mall for a long time which sounds funny to say but is legit like we live downtown it's like even center
15:50
[SPEAKER_00]: stuff just haven't been inside, but it went child Scarborough went to STC and I noticed like so many stores had WWE stuff like hot topic get this hot topic had seven different reapply shirts.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Seven different reapply shirts.
16:08
[SPEAKER_00]: They had two Sam punk,
16:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Two of the Ripley shirts were the terrifier, re-a-riply crossover.
16:17
[SPEAKER_00]: But I counted seven different Ripley designs, isn't that mental?
16:21
[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that tells you who's the star.
16:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm WWE right now.
16:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I will say like, when you like say about pop culture, I do like a lot of friends send me like,
16:34
[SPEAKER_01]: you know like reals and things where it's uh it's just a clip from a wrestling match and it's a a caption from it like I'm already seeing the uh MJF face from the fuck ice chance last week being gift a lot or meme a lot and people being like I don't know who this is but like this race sums up this or whatever you know like it's so I am seeing it like use for that kind of thing and obviously wrestling is great for memeable and uh referential kind of
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, it is interesting seeing, you know, whether it's people who have never been interested in that or whatever, like now asking, or like you said sending memes and stuff, and it definitely, in the last little while, it's crossed over into this.
17:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, yeah, WrestleMania, I do in 25%.
17:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's still gonna be a complete,
17:22
[SPEAKER_00]: like huge, two-night kind of thing.
17:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm sure people will be talking about it in this nap.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's like, it feels big.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing it more often.
17:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing shirts and public again, you know, like the nerd culture when that exploded, it was cool to be like into comic books and shit.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you're seeing that with like back to wrestling where there's days when you didn't want to tell people that you watch wrestling.
17:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they'd be like, oh yeah, what's that?
17:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you'd show them something.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, it'd be the one segment
17:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So what did aside from just, you know, making tickets cheaper and things like that, what do you think they need to do to drive interest for this year's WrestleMania?
18:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, it's, you can't really finalize plans last year.
18:04
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like elimination chamber where you locked in like, okay, these are the real directions, but so in a couple of weeks, I feel we should hopefully have a clearer picture of what is the card is, but what are some fixes you think they can do right
18:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yeah, I'm not sure.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Like last year, I thought the build for WrestleMania was pretty lackluster.
18:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though you had John Cena and that he'll turn like I think you unanimously fans are like, you kind of fucked that up.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we talked about unreal last week.
18:34
[SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like even WWE kind of admit that they kind of fumbled that a little bit.
18:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like money wouldn't take it sales money.
18:41
[SPEAKER_00]: All that stuff wouldn't tell you otherwise because they did financially well on the John Cena retirement tour, but like
18:49
[SPEAKER_00]: artistic side of it if you can call it that the creative side of it like it was wack it was it was it was it was lame it was not good so this time around I don't know what is the big hook okay Roman and punk but is that punk basically working promos with himself for the next few months like Roman is on quite I think he's got five dates before mania so that's five
19:11
[SPEAKER_01]: How many leaks of TV till Mania?
19:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's like eight weeks of TV.
19:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so that's more than I thought he'd be.
19:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I thought, see like that promo and then who show up on the guy's doing what's so great.
19:23
[SPEAKER_00]: You just, oh yeah, dude's gonna show up five more times before WrestleMania's like, oh, okay.
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of problem packages, but that is still the biggest match.
19:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know, what do you do?
19:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, do people outside of wrestling?
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: What this is like I don't know like I mean popular, but I doubt
19:46
[SPEAKER_01]: you'd be able to get the insurance to get him to wrestle, but I try and get bad bunny involved in some way.
19:51
[SPEAKER_01]: With that money, Logan Paul would be like one of the biggest, like, I don't know if you're gonna get him to wrestle at this point with how he actually is, but like, I think just some presence on the show, whether it's a, you know, guest referee spot, and then he hits a move to the heel at the end or something, but I think that would drive interest.
20:12
[SPEAKER_01]: aside from that the rock probably like the rock definitely he didn't get the asker nom so you know he was bringing up triple it's like hey what can we do uh look at like is your card set yet no what wait it's not set no so I can't fuck anything up no not this time all right cool me when you've got a card and then well then we'll talk I feel like he will wrestle next year
20:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Next year like Saudi WrestleMania the rock that could be the biggest anyone's ever been paid for a match yeah right like that and it should be him like he's the draw he's still a draw so like I don't know I could definitely see that happen Maybe maybe he I know he's got what he's got to film that score sazy movie that definitely sounds interesting
21:01
[SPEAKER_00]: But I wonder if does he have an appearance as the Scorpion King in the new mummy, with Brendan Fraser?
21:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Mummy four?
21:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It's mummy four, yeah.
21:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Book it, get it in that.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I like smashing machine.
21:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't necessarily think it was the Oscar winning performance.
21:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think he needs to have one more big match.
21:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I don't know where we can go with him.
21:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Like obviously he pissed a lot of people off.
21:23
[SPEAKER_00]: The last few times he was on TV with WWE.
21:26
[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like there's a lot of loose ends that they could course correct.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: if they really wanted to and tried.
21:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know.
21:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's sour that Triple H and Shawn Michaels wasn't paying his daughter enough for something.
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
21:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Like rock, rock versus Cody and rock versus Roman are the two options, really.
21:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
21:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a shame, like it looked at one point that we were going to get both of them.
21:51
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's...
21:53
[SPEAKER_01]: it's leaning more to never seeing any of them.
21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're both things that you can, you can pretty much book in a night, you know, one episode of Raw to set up, like the stories already there for both of them.
22:08
[SPEAKER_01]: If he does come round and is available for this year's mania, like rock versus Cody, as Jake is saying in the chat, yes, Cody qualified for the elimination chamber, but it seems like that title is the one up in the air at the moment, they're still kind of teasing the Sami staff.
22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: There's the Jacob far too stuff.
22:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, they didn't qualify to be in the chamber, but there's always ways you can write people into the matches.
22:33
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
22:34
[SPEAKER_01]: maybe maybe that but you know times ticking away and I've not heard any rumblings of the wrong for this year.
22:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't imagine he's wrestling this year but like again I kind of would think he would wrestle next year just he's not done one of these Saudi shows the two nights in Saudi he's the biggest you could the biggest character wrestle you could potentially book for Armenia and
22:58
[SPEAKER_00]: it could be more of the biggest paydays ever.
23:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He would he could retire like from the in-ring essentially even if at that point.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: But what is the match?
23:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you do Roman or do you do Cody?
23:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, right?
23:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel Roman Rock has the bigger broader appeal.
23:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I would think, just the family connection and stuff like that and Roman probably, like, I feel Cody's gonna be around quite a bit longer whereas I feel Roman could be doing the Hollywood thing soon.
23:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that is probably what you would go with over the two, but I think Cody Rock would probably actually be a better build
23:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would, I kind of would prefer Cody Rock, just because of the stuff that we did see.
23:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
23:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think, you know, you, you are right.
23:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, think two years ago, the rock was cutting Twitter Instagram promos and that should got you so hyped for WrestleMania.
23:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, like,
24:00
[SPEAKER_00]: he was killing it and now I know he had just think of the last few appearances like he's stunk up the joint that NXT promo the raw thing that flakes but think like two years ago he did bring in a lot of people for that mania and fillet by yeah us included like I we were hyped so I don't know I'm not saying
24:20
[SPEAKER_00]: he's coming around this season for us, man, you hey, maybe he shows up at the show.
24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, and that can set up something for next year, but yeah, I could see him wrestling one more time.
24:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And Saudi would definitely be the place I would say it.
24:32
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, what else this year could they do?
24:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, bad buddy Logan Paul, you see like social media buzzing about how we should have that match.
24:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But
24:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Is like will he be ready if he hasn't been training like he you've to for these things or like is it too soon is it something you set up for next year WrestleMania as well right that you could have them have a moment At WrestleMania this year which then gets the buzz and everything but not sure but that seems to be the big one of like people know who
25:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Paul is outside of wrestling and people definitely know who bad bunny is outside of wrestling.
25:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So like to have now after the last week I'd say bad bunny Jake Paul is the match.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
25:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
25:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes.
25:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, see then that's where you could like.
25:22
[SPEAKER_00]: the stuff about what Puerto Rico.
25:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the main one's going to go there.
25:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:30
[SPEAKER_00]: They should though, they should, like that's what wrestling is.
25:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You mix, you know, you're blending reality.
25:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, as long as that bunny goes over and lays the Puerto Recon flag over the body of Logan Paul, then we're good.
25:44
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see if that ever happens.
25:46
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, what can WrestleMania do to get you
25:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Take it like I'm sure how bad can take it sales be that they're like, you know, 25% that's crazy.
25:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, interesting.
26:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll talk maybe a little bit more about some some stuff that happened from rotten SmackDown, which we'll set up for.
26:07
[SPEAKER_00]: elimination chamber in just a few weeks.
26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Before we, I feel like we'll probably start things off with the AEW grand slam, but quickly before then we do have tons of other shows, a big week here for us, not only do we have a new up next coming up this Tuesday on post wrestling after NXT, but we have a Patreon and we have tons of shows.
26:30
[SPEAKER_00]: We recently dropped a best match ever
26:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a part one of what we're going to do three of these best matchevers featuring the best of AJ Styles, we even link to the matches for you that are available for free on TNA's YouTube and all that kind of stuff, but we looked at the best eight matches from or seven matches from AJ Styles in TNA talking Jerry Lynn, Kurt Angle, Christopher Daniel, Samojo and so much more so this was a blast from the past and who knows maybe he didn't actually retire.
27:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we'll have to wait and see on that front.
27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But, but I will say, did you not get any spider sense or alarm bells going off when they tell you all in tickets are going on sale the day after revolution?
27:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I the only one that's like, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, is there a reason?
27:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there a reason why?
27:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the staples center or whatever the center?
27:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They call that now the Bitcoin arena.
27:32
[SPEAKER_00]: going to get a little phenomenal?
27:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that something that could happen or are we crazy?
27:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't the last word was like he's having talks with WWE for some sort of role but is essentially a free agent now.
27:46
[SPEAKER_01]: People saying he doesn't seem to be interested but he's like this is now where legally other companies can put out feelers and talk to him and I'm sure I'm sure Tony Khan is putting out those feelers.
27:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He's throwing out making it rain.
28:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Like AJ, do you know how many video games you could buy with your kids, kids could be set for life?
28:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't going to pay for an angle that.
28:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, Chris Jericho's gone maybe maybe we freed up some dollars.
28:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Is Chris Jericho gone?
28:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I don't know.
28:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, Jericho saw that AMC debut was like, nope.
28:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, nope, no thanks.
28:26
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm good.
28:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we talked about the best of AJ.
28:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.
28:31
[SPEAKER_00]: This will be some virtue signaling and maybe he will show up in a w. I know we sound crazy, but do we we want to see it.
28:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
28:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see some good wrestling.
28:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We also just did.
28:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, but you signalling I don't think you've used that correct.
28:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I totally do.
28:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm prayer circle.
28:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess for age.
28:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see him there, and I'll pray to all the gods I never pray to to have him wrestle in AW, but I don't think that will happen.
29:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'll believe it.
29:02
[SPEAKER_00]: When I see it, when it happens, then I'll lose my mind.
29:05
[SPEAKER_00]: But
29:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to hear that Demi Gods in Wembley.
29:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We had another big show.
29:11
[SPEAKER_00]: We also do a series called Up Yours, where our family member, World Champ Patrons, if you become one of those, you get access to behind the BDE every month.
29:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But you also get the pick stuff.
29:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And our family member, how he has selected Kill Bill, Volume 2, we have reviewed Kill Bill Part 1, maybe about a year ago in the back of the world.
29:30
[SPEAKER_00]: catalog there.
29:31
[SPEAKER_00]: But we finally finished the whole bloody affair as Davie watches it for the first time.
29:36
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about Tarantino, Ume Thurman, Eyeball Gouging, and so much more in our kill bill part two.
29:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And shout out our guest there, Howie, and his dog.
29:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Tabasco.
29:51
[SPEAKER_00]: That might be one of the best, well, I think you're muted there, David.
29:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That might be one of the best dog names I've ever heard.
29:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Tabasco, so shout out how he says he wants to our shows while walking his dog Tabasco.
30:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we like to hear on our podcast.
30:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're listening to us while walking your dog or cat or lizard or whatever, shout out animals.
30:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also always open for you sending pictures of your pets to us.
30:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, like that's a good thing.
30:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Twitter's a cesspool, but like showing me a picture of a dog watching dynamite, that makes me happy.
30:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Does anyone out there have a frog?
30:29
[SPEAKER_00]: like Poison Ron, maybe someone like I I looked into getting us a pet frog and the guy at the store I was a very sketchy situation he was like look I can get you anything but I don't want you to have a frog because if you have one it'll kill itself and if you have two one will eat the other and then it'll kill itself.
30:46
[SPEAKER_00]: All right fair enough.
30:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to get a frown as much as it would be cool for our show, but I'm excited about the news that raccoons are becoming more and more domesticated one day one day I might get a raccoon.
30:59
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you think Ralph is doing?
31:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure he's all right.
31:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I know one of our listeners who are tensile shows moved into our place.
31:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm hoping that there can be a Ralph taking care of Ralph, especially in those summer months when you're outside in the garden, just chilling with Ralph.
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
31:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We used to have Pat Raccoon in the backyard, but we moved.
31:26
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a bunch of pets for your ginger cat.
31:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
31:31
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
31:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we talked about Kill Bill with how we, this week, we have another big show coming up because we do a podcast series called The Champ is here and this week we will be joined by our friends Eric and Randy from The Draw show.
31:47
[SPEAKER_00]: You can hear them on TSN radios on Thursday nights.
31:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We will be joined by them to talk about John Cena's, let me get this right.
31:53
[SPEAKER_00]: 14th reign.
31:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're on number 14.
31:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, this is where it got confusing because this is episode 15, but the 14th rain.
32:03
[SPEAKER_01]: We had to split up the whole rock scene a saga for the 13th rain.
32:08
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're getting there.
32:09
[SPEAKER_01]: We're getting there.
32:10
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the world heavyweight championship run, the big gold belt, which leads to the unification at TLC and one of the
32:19
[SPEAKER_01]: a very memorable raw moment where the crowd kind of hijack this raising of the belt ceremony in favor of a Mr. Daniel Bryan.
32:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yes, who could forget the ceremony of the raising of the belts?
32:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely going to have fun talking to our friends, Eric and Randy there about some John Sina.

34:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you get a chance to play your
34:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like installing it at the moment, so I've, yeah, I've got a one of those retro handheld emulator consoles.
34:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Instagram ads work.
34:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and, but it's great, so I just got a couple of new memory cards, so I'm loading some, some different software on there, starting to download the ROMs and games and things.
34:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's really nice, though.
34:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got a nice big screen, it's running
34:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The games it already came with.
34:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really want to play any of them.
34:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm downloading along as you speak.
34:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but yeah, I'm excited.
34:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got a big trip to Asia coming up soon going to Vietnam.
35:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to need to kill a lot of hours on that flight.
35:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So figured it would be it would be useful for me.
35:09
[SPEAKER_00]: because I downloaded an emulator and I got virtual pro2 okay, like obsessed with it now.
35:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Like totally, I got the English translated some modded one and I'm trying to learn how to do like modded hacks like A, W, No Mercy or like super Smash Bros remix and stuff.
35:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sure we have gamers and listeners out there who play that kind of stuff, but then
35:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been doing that the last few days and been obsessed playing virtual pro 2 and then my girlfriend has a steam deck and I had no idea what that even was and I was talking to her about other games and stuff that I like and then somehow she downloaded here comes the pain so I was playing that on the steam deck last night I was like these is insane so all I buy all these fancy you know Nintendo Switch and all this stuff but in the end I still just play
36:00
[SPEAKER_00]: the old N64.
36:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I was going to say it's like so many people are with music.
36:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You hear people being like, you know, once it hit like the mid 2000s, decided I like enough music.
36:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really crave anymore and I get the feeling that I may be not like that with music but I'm certainly like that with video games where I'm like, you know, I'm happy just playing Pokemon Blue once again.
36:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I told you I was playing yellow for a while.
36:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I might do it again.
36:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I did see because Pokemon turns 30 this year.
36:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Nintendo is planning on re-releasing a whole bunch of their old games and stuff like that, update or whatever.
36:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, like I have a switch.
36:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I know we were talking with John
36:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the same thing where he's like all I'm playing is gold and I on the switch I'm like need to I literally have all these games and I'm just playing the games I had when I was a kid maybe it's just
36:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, it's like a comfort thing, but I never had virtual pro 2 and now I'm like, oh, I understand why this is considered one of the like, the more better one.
37:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm seeing all the videos for 2K, 26 and all the updates and the graphics look really good and Booker T commentary, but then here I am just hitting burning hammers and playing in the Tokyo Dome.
37:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want you to get that game because that would be the one, the one wrestling one I would
37:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome to to get but yeah, you're thinking play in 64 what can it go up to like And yeah, like I was playing it's got like Vice City on the PSP on there.
37:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
37:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I was playing that so like obviously that look really nice graphics wise I think yeah dreamcast It can handle some of the S I think if you're going like nothing really game cube and up, but yeah pretty much up to there, but yeah pretty much where I
37:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly what's obsessed with consoles like N64 there's so many good games with same with SNES like yeah You have hours of these things.
38:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's crazy with the technology and stuff like thinking a few more years
38:06
[SPEAKER_00]: People will be using ROMs and emulators of systems like PS2 or 3.
38:10
[SPEAKER_00]: They already are.
38:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that makes it so long.
38:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
38:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So I am like the 2K 26 looks cool and everything, but I'm still like caught up on the old ones.
38:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think for us, it's, you know, we don't live with each other anymore, but I enjoy those games for multiplayer.
38:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm quite like old school that way.
38:36
[SPEAKER_01]: kids from halfway across the world swearing at me down the headset, you know, that doesn't interest me.
38:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to play like physically with people in the room, friends of mine and and I think that's when we would play 2k quite a bit or even occasionally the odd FIFA game or something, but yeah, beyond that I'm not overly interested.
38:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm sure we'll eventually try it because it's out like in March or something, right?
39:01
[SPEAKER_00]: The new one.
39:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's just some time.
39:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I don't like I feel with me though.
39:06
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not much point in getting another Like 2k game until I've got the PS5 really like it's playing on PS4 I might as well just stick with the game.
39:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got and update the aboster with Downloads and things.
39:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I don't even have my PS4 plugin.
39:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I put in storage when I when I move it was like, yeah, like right
39:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't use it as much really.
39:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I have the switch which I do think I prefer just because like the, you could just play pretty quickly and get shit like that.
39:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, I'm playing retro retro games on these things anyway, so, but yeah, send me if anyone virtual pro two people, send me your things.
39:45
[SPEAKER_00]: What do I need to know hacks and mods and trying to learn about that of the No Mercy and and shit?
39:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand why people like these old games and they get super into like,
39:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it grandma showing us like Pokemon cart 64?
39:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I want to get oh yeah, I'm gonna do that shit.
40:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks awesome
40:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, so patreon dot com slash poison ronna.

[SPEAKER_00]: Go check us out So we can afford to play more video games poison ronna dot today for links of everything else that we do and we Should start talking about some wrestling that took place this week last week We were very WWE heavy.
40:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like maybe this week will be a little bit different with AEW having a really killer week of some content now I know
40:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to talk about grand slam.
40:32
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the big kind of hot thing.
40:33
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought dynamite was awesome.
40:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, one of the best I thought this week should we start with that?
40:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Just saying that so kind of chronological order.
40:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, chronological order here.
40:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there was a lot to take in from that episode.
40:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, off the bat, you had Swerve and Omega with a face to face promoting
40:55
[SPEAKER_00]: a match that has never happened and I mean spoiler we're getting it for free next week on tv which is crazy you would imagine that something happens in that setup for the paper view but I thought this was a great promo off between the two basically sort of like oh you call yourself the god of wrestling and he's like mmm
41:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't call myself that.
41:15
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the name people gave me because I'm that fucking good essentially.
41:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was pretty pretty awesome.
41:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they both really promoted a match between the two of them served saying I came here to fight you and then you fucked off like what happened.
41:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like, and it's not something that's necessarily like cross my mind before, but it is true.
41:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Swerve came in like towards the end or even after Kenny's title reign and they've, they've just been obviously Kenny's been out injured for a lot of it, but I got the same sense like with Swerve's promo and I think this is something he's very good at even when he's a baby face.
41:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of just coming out and calling a shot and challenging someone and we saw that with Hangman, you know, when he came out and was, it started that whole feud because I want your spot.
42:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you lost your title, you put on a bit of weight, you're miserable, you're drinking, like what the fuck?
42:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And yet you're still getting these opportunities and I'm not.
42:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got a scratch and claw for it.
42:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And I got the same sort of sense of that with Swerv here and Kenning.
42:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you're calling yourself the God, yet you've never faced me.
42:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's a great feud that I hadn't really even considered as a potential matchup.
42:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that will fill up revolution really nicely.
42:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see some, I could see knowing what these two are like, maybe doing the,
42:43
[SPEAKER_01]: a bit more of a street fight or something at revolution perhaps and have this one more of a traditional match but really you know that that spot we had like falling off the stage and all that this week it's leading you to think that maybe we'll get something a bit more violent and a one-on-one I couldn't even imagine I'm like think of Swerve and Hangman in some of those death matches like these two would definitely be the same Kenny has just been looking like
43:09
[SPEAKER_00]: top tier again, and I thought, yeah, they really sold me on this.
43:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was, Mom was baffled to hear them say it's on TV next week.
43:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, I will definitely be watching because like, I really want to see it.
43:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But on top of that, like, I do see that being re-matched at revolution 100%.
43:26
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just such a big match.
43:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this could be an all-in main event for like,
43:33
[SPEAKER_00]: in another timeline, because this is a big one.
43:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really looking forward to this.
43:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd like the segment between the two of them.
43:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the pull-up part, the attacks, and all that stuff, was a V trigger into the stage.
43:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They fell off the stage and everything.
43:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So clearly, you're going to get hardcore down the line.
43:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably like a no contest, and then gets even more crazy at the paper view.
43:56
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a six-man deathwriters thing that was like more set up for Moxley and Takeshita, which is to come at Grand Slam, so that was good like hyping up these two, uh, both kind of in heel stables, but they're the baby face.
44:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's, it's a little weird, isn't it, right now, uh, with Moxley especially, but, uh,
44:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think, but I, I don't necessarily mind the shades of gray all the time, it depends.
44:26
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't do it with every character, but I think mocks and to kester to an extent are people that can pull it off, you know, um, that, and I, I wonder if they're,
44:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if they're kind of playing around with moxley not fully committing to him being a baby face because of Willospray's return because it was the death rioters that took out Willospray after that cage match which I was kind of weird like we all knew he was going to have surgery anyway and when you do an angle like that and you don't have a time frame of how long it's going to be
45:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You do risk kind of the situation therein now where Osprey is a comes back and completely forgets that these guys laid him out or he comes back as a massive baby face, taking on somewhat of a massive baby face in John Moxley.
45:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a little weird and I don't necessarily agree with them doing that kind of thing.
45:22
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw how that worked with Adam Cole and M.J.F.
45:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Like,
45:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Adam Cole returned, but if we remember when he left, he was the heel and MJF was the baby face, and we just had to kind of accept that they're going to this match, but the roles are reversed, and it was a little odd.
45:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wonder if they're reluctant to, you know, pull the trigger on death riders kicking out, mocks, until we see what is necessarily happening around with Willospray.
45:49
[SPEAKER_00]: that's fair because you could easily like let's say now we don't have a time frame as as of right now but let's say he comes back with like plenty of time before all in then you could easily do the moxley osprey one-on-one and then when he beats moxley moxley can kind of you know in some way it'd be like hey sorry about that or like oh I don't know like something to maybe baby face him even more and then finally
46:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They kick him out or whatever, but I guess you would.
46:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I also don't mind him just coming back.
46:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the same thing for you and him.
46:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what I prefer, but it was strange.
46:28
[SPEAKER_01]: They did that angle.
46:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember thinking that at the time, like, because it was pretty public knowledge that Osprey was, you know, that cage match was, do you remember everyone in that cage match was banged up?
46:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You had like Kenny with no intestine, you had Tana Hashi with no knees.
46:44
[SPEAKER_00]: How long was the same?
46:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like everyone was completely banged up and we knew Osprey was going to be leaving for a bit for this surgery.
46:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just found it weird, especially in London.
46:55
[SPEAKER_01]: You had him with the big win, he's like celebrating and then they did the angle.
47:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I found it strange then and especially with something like a neck injury where it could be.
47:05
[SPEAKER_01]: like, yes, you know, I mean it, obviously we're getting the return finance, we know thankfully it's not going to be that long, but it's a long time to just put a few donites.
47:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So I found it strange they did that.
47:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Like those guys beat up everyone anyways, but like the story was they took him out of action, whether it's you know, K-Fever and that, like obviously okay, we know he actually was heard, but
47:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you could, you could go that way, but I just feel like Moxley's the baby face and all the other guys are just the bad guys, but yes.
47:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He's cool, I guess, I don't know.
47:39
[SPEAKER_00]: But we had then one hell of a match.
47:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Tomaso Champa, taking on Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship.
47:50
[SPEAKER_00]: You see some of the comments, Champa made that, yeah, he wanted to go out there like his old takeover days.
47:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And boy, did he go out there and wrestle like an old takeover, didn't he?
48:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, this match was awesome.
48:04
[SPEAKER_01]: crazy.
48:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely loved it.
48:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I like, like, Fletcher, someone in the chat there is saying a real candidate for wrestling with the year so far, I agree.
48:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But Champa just showing, like, it's, and obviously it's, and I, I hate to, like, go on into all the bad faith people every week.
48:23
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's,
48:24
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, when he got signed and it's eyes to old and that it's age is a number.
48:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, if you you mentioned earlier, Kurt Angle, like not getting that contract, right, with AEW.
48:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because Kurt Angle had no knees, no neck, no back, like he couldn't work anymore.
48:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone, yes, Champa, maybe on the, and I don't actually think he's as old as he looks.
48:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's around
48:52
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you wrestle like that, who cares?
48:55
[SPEAKER_01]: How old you are?
48:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he wrestled so well.
48:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I personally didn't have the problem with this short tight reign either, right?
49:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Now it established him really quickly as this is a serious guy.
49:10
[SPEAKER_01]: This isn't someone coming in who's gonna, you know, just be on collision or whatever.
49:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a serious guy.
49:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And the flip-dropping allowed us to get to this ladder match.
49:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to talk about later.
49:26
[SPEAKER_01]: But I have faith that after a performance like that, he's going to be featured pretty prominently.
49:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure there's a bucket list of people he wants to face in AEW as well.
49:35
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is one of my matches of the year.
49:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So far I thought this was awesome.
49:40
[SPEAKER_00]: absolutely like okay TV TV match is something I think is important and instantly the TV match of the year like right now in 2020 like this was incredible this this reminded me of why we love this guy like all these years ago and I I hate to say it but like
49:58
[SPEAKER_00]: This guy's been missing for years.
50:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, this guy's been MIA and clearly he felt that way because he came out wrestling like he had a chip on his shoulder the last few weeks with the brisco match and then this match.
50:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, Fletcher, this is another walk in the park for him because he's having these kinds of matches week by week.
50:16
[SPEAKER_00]: However, this was a little bit of a dream match of like, oh wait, if you've been watching Fletcher, you could see how good he's gotten
50:28
[SPEAKER_00]: he can get and then champ if you've watched all those years ago you can remember how deadly he can kind of be and how good of a wrestler he can be and it was a bit of a like match main heaven here of these two and I just you got I just think like this guy was sitting in catering sitting in this tag team okay he's had his WrestleMania matches he's got his time in WWE but
50:52
[SPEAKER_00]: You said, okay, maybe he's not that old, but he's old enough to be like, how long can I do this for?
50:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And how much do I love it?
50:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I got the love for the game, I wanna wrestle.
51:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, first week out, he's putting on these kinds of quality matches.
51:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, damn man, you've had those handcuffs on for years and you made the right choice.
51:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I absolutely 100% the best he's looked in years.
51:17
[SPEAKER_01]: We were talking about, you know, what are the options when he was leaving WWE and saying like really it's knowing, you know, we've seen the documentaries, how much of a family man this guy is, this was the only real option.
51:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't going to go to TNA and I think it works great for him.
51:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He's can spend a lot of time with his family with this contract and
51:38
[SPEAKER_01]: but still come out and just do bangers every week like this.
51:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was such a great match.
51:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And Fletcher, you know, he had a lot last year that we loved, like I, that match was feeble on TV and things like he is incredible.
51:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a big year for him, I think.
51:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, yeah, he's kind of AWS set up the sleeve a little bit in the last year, like including already going into this year, like,
52:04
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, okay, you got your moxley's and your, your canny's hangman's, the people who have maybe been on top there for a little while or like names in this company, but you see this guy on the show that you're going to like you're going to have some special like every time the sky restals it's.
52:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a spectacle almost like he's just so good at this, making it look like a real fight for sure.
52:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought him and Champa was awesome, definitely going to be something we need to run back one day.
52:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think this was like,
52:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw people online being like, oh, look, they're already dogging champ, but they're already like, it's like, no, that's not every title reign needs to be months and months and months.
52:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think doing a quick title change sometimes, just.
52:54
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of reprograms you, so you're not going into matches, because it's the worst thing, right?
52:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we know we're getting Finn Balorancy and punk at elimination chamber, which could be a great match, but the problem is we're going, there ain't no way Finn Balor's winning that.
53:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think when you do these like quick title changes, it helps put that seed of doubt in your map mind with other titles.
53:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah,
53:24
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he's going to be great, like, even if he's booked on this show to lose to people, that's okay, because he just put on great performances so far.
53:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He said two matches and I'm already like, wow, I missed you, I missed watching you.
53:39
[SPEAKER_00]: This, it reminded me of a takeover match that he would be, you know, used to do.
53:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he even says like, I went into that thinking, this is like a takeover moment for me.
53:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, yeah, as you should.
53:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So Johnny, the grass.
53:53
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be greener on the other side.
53:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Johnny, go again, oh, just, oh, it would be.
53:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't, you know, like, and I feel bad saying this because we've been such a big Johnny Gargano fans, but like, and man, it is depressing.
54:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Watching him on SmackDown right now.
54:10
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's his little storyline.
54:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He's depressed, yeah.
54:13
[SPEAKER_01]: He's depressed and it's depressing.
54:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Just the state of this character.
54:18
[SPEAKER_01]: But,
54:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And we made this joke before, but like, I almost feel for Champa, like, you don't want Johnny go, I can't go in there, like for his sake.
54:28
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, can you get, can you give me a year at least?
54:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Can I get this out my system?
54:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we can do the DIY thing.
54:35
[SPEAKER_01]: But like, it's, yeah, it's like, that's the thing.
54:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if Johnny go, Gano's coming in.
54:41
[SPEAKER_01]: the Tony Khan would be way too tempted to put those dudes together.
54:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And at the tag division could do with it, but I'm just, I'm enjoying this little honeymoon period we've got of the psycho killer right now.
54:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
54:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's refreshing.
54:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, only like a few weeks in, but can't wait to see what else he can do in A.W.
55:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it definitely helped.
55:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It added some fire to fletcher.
55:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, winning this match, but then also like you just beat someone that
55:08
[SPEAKER_00]: gave you a fight in that match.
55:10
[SPEAKER_00]: That was real good stuff.
55:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We had private party return.
55:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, is that private party?
55:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They're back.
55:17
[SPEAKER_00]: There was rumors that they might leave A, W.
55:21
[SPEAKER_00]: NXT or TNA, but here they are, the party is still private in AWS.
55:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this was kind of a bit weird for me.
55:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't necessarily hit because I don't know.
55:35
[SPEAKER_01]: You tease this mystery team, and I think people are...
55:39
[SPEAKER_01]: looking at when our copen Christian coming back like we assume I know they're both winding down but you've got to have the rematch against FTR right like they set up that angle with Beth and you've got to have the match against the young bucks.
55:55
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it like they can come back and do two matches and go.
55:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was
55:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, or at least, I was suspecting maybe this is this is going to be then.
56:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But private party, yes, I eat up your originals, but it's been weird.
56:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Tony Khan does this thing where if he snifts that you might be looking a jump ship, he puts you on ice.
56:17
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw it with Ricky Stark.
56:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen it with Ray Phoenix and the likes.
56:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And
56:24
[SPEAKER_01]: It feels like when they lost the titles to the Hertz Syndicate that they were put on ice because we were talking about, oh, are they going to be going to the PC or whatever?
56:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So that hasn't happened.
56:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So they've recigned the AWS you.
56:39
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like 13 months they've been off, which is just crazy.
56:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's not injuries or anything.
56:44
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just not being used.
56:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they come back and there's zero change.
56:51
[SPEAKER_01]: to their presentation at all, which I was a little disappointed with.
56:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they were, they were someone, okay, on one of the early dynamites, they beat the bucks.
57:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it the first dynamite?
57:01
[SPEAKER_00]: They beat the bucks, right?
57:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it took how many years, five years, four years till they'd finally beat the bucks again and won the belts.
57:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they lost the belts pretty quickly, got ragdolled, and then we haven't seen them since, and then they came back.
57:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they lose in this match.
57:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this match is crazy, because it was all right.
57:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's in this?
57:19
[SPEAKER_00]: The bucks, the rascals and and private party.
57:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was not there was all these crazy spots in this and it was it was like one of those old school chaotic tag matches for sure and I mean they're right by receipt or as well where they were right.
57:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So it felt like that PWG for sure I like that they're back, but they're they definitely haven't evolved ever really since the beginning it's like their shirts are like they know party like
57:47
[SPEAKER_01]: a private party and it's like there's just still doing the same thing with the shots and everything it's like okay well what else can you can you do essentially so maybe they will maybe if we it's like just do their like almost nostalgia pop for this spawn and then see if they can evolve but uh yeah I don't know I was slightly underwhelmed but the match was fantastic don't get me wrong bad like I thought was was such a awesome match with all that and we get FTR versus the buck set revolution
58:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think how do you feel about that, you know, as much as I'm sure people will say, oh, look, they're doing this match again.
58:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure this would be the fifth.
58:24
[SPEAKER_00]: or the success that.
58:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd like it again, right now it's flipped again.
58:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they've done the matches where they've been baby faces and heels, so it's kind of the other way around again.
58:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that career rivals, right?
58:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's kind of like your Sami and Kevin kind of thing.
58:41
[SPEAKER_01]: You can revisit it every 18 months or whatever.
58:47
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see, I found like, their matches haven't hit as you feel they should in the past.
58:54
[SPEAKER_01]: If I had good matches, I can't think of one that's like blow away, maybe the first one, just because of the, like, how...
59:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Fresh it felt, but I think that was still drew in pandemic here and stuff like that.
59:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know.
59:07
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see how it is with this, but really it's it's it's time that Like yeah, this tag division hasn't been great and really you should have the two best teams going for the title.
59:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So it makes sense that way
59:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
59:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Like as much as you could have put private party in there, you could do the rascals, but really the bucks are baby face again.
59:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to ride that wave of they're still working right now.
59:32
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a time when they won't be.
59:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would not be mad if I had tickets to revolution in the announced bucks.
59:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like that's their break-lasses in case of emergency.
59:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Like
59:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, what should we do with the tag?
59:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, fuck it.
59:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Bucks in FTR again and like, okay, none of them have been maybe like the all-time classic, if you will, but they've been still all very solid.
59:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they've still been all very good.
1:00:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's the thing.
1:00:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you know,
1:00:05
[SPEAKER_01]: we know what the buck standard is and we know what FTR standard is.
1:00:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're expecting no less than like a five star match when you see these two putting a match together and it's not necessarily got there.
1:00:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Still really good matches but yeah we'll see how it is this time around.
1:00:22
[SPEAKER_00]: You know actually now that I said it like the buck's being baby face wearing the old school gear and the tassels and everything maybe this will be
1:00:33
[SPEAKER_00]: the better like having them in the old school you said like the receive like WG bucks versus like the heels FTR like maybe this gives the opportunity to deliver said classic.
1:00:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean could you see a co-conquestion returning at revolution after this match?
1:00:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
1:00:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I imagine they fight FTR one more time, right?
1:01:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Like whether that's all in, you could do with three way bucks, edging Christian and FTR, right?
1:01:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
1:01:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll see.
1:01:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Like fuck that'd be fucking nuts.
1:01:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So book it.
1:01:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
1:01:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, okay, nothing's been announced.
1:01:15
[SPEAKER_00]: We have dynasty in Vancouver.
1:01:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Having Christian and edged
1:01:20
[SPEAKER_00]: big deal obviously is the other end of the country, but still Canada, we represent.
1:01:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But I would imagine Toronto gets another show before the end of the year.
1:01:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, edge and Christian weather, they retire together or something like that.
1:01:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's something going to happen with that down the line.
1:01:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I know like we had this year, but then they did the angle where it just sets up a
1:01:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, box FTR, I'm actually kind of like stoked about to see on, uh, on revolution.
1:01:52
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a, it's gonna be a solid one.
1:01:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, and then Dynamite main event, the Strap Daddy versus this toxic spider.
1:02:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think we can call her the Strap Daddy anymore.
1:02:03
[SPEAKER_00]: She lost the Strap Match and the Strap in one sitting, uh, your girl, Tecla.
1:02:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think this was the right decision.
1:02:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Tecler has been great since she's coming and I think she's got so much personality and has been fantastic in ring as well.
1:02:22
[SPEAKER_01]: This that run hasn't worked for whatever reason.
1:02:26
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, and that's not say the matches have been bad.
1:02:29
[SPEAKER_01]: She's had good matches, but there's been just a bit of a lack of connection.
1:02:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel there's been times in the past where Statland has been hotter where you could have gone
1:02:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It just felt a little forced this title run and I don't think promo why she's necessarily connected.
1:02:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually already think since losing the title like she's maybe connected a bit more.
1:02:57
[SPEAKER_01]: You know like there was the kind of member who the interview was but she was quite open about kind of acknowledging that that she hasn't really felt that connection.
1:03:05
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, throughout this and has been struggling with that.
1:03:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe this loss will actually be better for her because that's a bit of a story you can tell.
1:03:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I thought the match was great.
1:03:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they killed each other.
1:03:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And um, right move for Tecler.
1:03:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't particularly like how, like,
1:03:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't like the beat down at the end of the match with the the brawling birds running out.
1:03:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It already felt like Techless win was an afterthought.
1:03:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:03:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Dynamite should have just ended with Techless standing tall with the title and really establishing that.
1:03:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, instead where we end with, you know, Jamie Hater and Alex Windsor who've both been missing for ages, it seems, just running out for a save and you've already forgotten that stats drop the title and you've already forgotten that tech was one it I found that a little odd, but the match itself I thought's great.
1:03:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I also thought it was funny because like you had the, what do they call the sisters that sister triangle, the witches, what are they?
1:04:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
1:04:26
[SPEAKER_00]: like the whole match they're they're like inner fearing right like they're there they're ringside and then stat lander loses and that's when the brawling birds are like oh you know we should help her it's like no maybe you should help there when the title was on the during the match yeah yeah I thought that was a little backwards uh i think you know i love stat lander i kind of agree though like she hasn't connected with this they really tried
1:04:51
[SPEAKER_00]: She's really good wrestler.
1:04:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it needs to be.
1:04:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a heal the heal run, but a bit more serious.
1:04:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure they'll figure it out.
1:04:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I could see her eventually getting a title again.
1:05:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But Tecla has been someone who's got like the presence.
1:05:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
1:05:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Like she just looks like, okay, now we have met her, listen to our shows
1:05:16
[SPEAKER_00]: She was pretty sweet in real life, but still gives you that feeling of like her character has her turned up to like 20 on a scale because she scares me, yeah, as a character on TV and that's really good and I'm I actually think it was the right decision to have her as champion.
1:05:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I really really like the presentation of her right now.
1:05:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So going forward like like that decision, thought the match was great.
1:05:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I like Brian mentioning that it's the same strap.
1:05:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got to be long on it still.
1:05:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, it's still as my blood on this.
1:05:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, that don't say that.
1:05:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, that's unnamed, Dresla.
1:05:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Ricky Stark's saints.
1:05:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:05:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was great.
1:05:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really like Tecla winning this, because I think she's been killing it.
1:05:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that's good stuff.
1:05:59
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see what happens with Stadlander.
1:06:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But then that takes us to Grand Slam, Sydney, Australia.
1:06:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, going down under.
1:06:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They also did a house show today, I believe, in Brisbane.
1:06:13
[SPEAKER_00]: House rules?
1:06:14
[SPEAKER_00]: House rules, or was it maybe Sydney's well?
1:06:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But Sydney, Australia, getting first glimpse at an A, W, show.
1:06:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And it looked busy.
1:06:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It looked crowded.
1:06:25
[SPEAKER_00]: People were excited to be there, taken it all in.
1:06:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And we had someone with a post wrestling sign.
1:06:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you see that?
1:06:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Front and centre, yeah.
1:06:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
1:06:35
[SPEAKER_00]: awesome whoever made that be that was pretty cool.
1:06:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We had an opening match up a match I was definitely looking forward to a rematch from that continental classic.
1:06:46
[SPEAKER_00]: The what title is this fuck, I'm not even saying that as a joke.
1:06:50
[SPEAKER_01]: You just said it.
1:06:51
[SPEAKER_00]: The continent's in it's all right.
1:06:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Continental title, Moxley, John Moxley taking on to catch that.
1:07:00
[SPEAKER_00]: This was great.
1:07:02
[SPEAKER_00]: These two were killing each other here.
1:07:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Just two wrestlers that I genuinely think are at the top of the game.
1:07:11
[SPEAKER_00]: They were going banned for ban.
1:07:12
[SPEAKER_00]: There was the Seth Rollin' Stomp a few times from Moxley.
1:07:16
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a Coda Abushi-esque last ride from his son, Takeshita.
1:07:24
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a nasty death ride or where he just dropped him on his head.
1:07:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I totally bit that it was over and Takeshita kicked out of that.
1:07:32
[SPEAKER_00]: The match was solid.
1:07:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it got to the ring announcer saying five minutes left.
1:07:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And the crowd was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
1:07:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But then you had the announcer say, one minute left.
1:07:45
[SPEAKER_00]: and the vibe just changed.
1:07:46
[SPEAKER_00]: This place started becoming electric.
1:07:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And when the one minute call to catch a moxley just started killing each other, you had the kickouts on one and then the time runs out.
1:08:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, this last like two, three minutes here, got me so hyped.
1:08:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this was great.
1:08:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It almost reminded me of why we love watching this shit.
1:08:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Please do the rematch at Revolution.
1:08:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought this was fantastic.
1:08:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they both have incredible chemistry.
1:08:23
[SPEAKER_01]: John Moxley, it's so crazy.
1:08:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Like how, you know, who's my wrestler of the year last year and is continuing to just put on fantastic matches.
1:08:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the,
1:08:35
[SPEAKER_01]: at least what I do like about the continental classic is it does it is slightly sorry the continental championship is it is different from the other belt say it's a bit more clearly defined what it is with these continental rules 20 minutes no outside interference and it
1:08:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like how the G1s used to be where it guarantees you a bit of a bang-up in this match, like no bullshit, just straight up wrestling and these two absolutely killed it.
1:09:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I do have my own little theory.
1:09:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think we're going to get the rematch and I do think to Kesht is going to win this thing, because I think you'll be having, and maybe it's like an annual, all-in thing.
1:09:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we're going to have the unification match of all three titles with the three leaders of the Don Calis family.
1:09:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So you'll have Ocada,
1:09:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Fletcher and Takester, all with the secondary titles, looking to be unified them at all it.
1:09:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So a three-way match?
1:09:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:09:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus!
1:09:40
[SPEAKER_00]: That's... Like, I was...
1:09:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hoping for a Takester.
1:09:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Letcher, or Takeshita O'Kara, or O'Kara.
1:09:49
[SPEAKER_01]: We can get all of them, but I think just the story they've been telling, it started off with Takeshita and O'Kara, but Fletcher just seems equally as position there.
1:10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you're getting those things with Fletcher accepting O'Kara's apology and Takeshita being upset about that.
1:10:07
[SPEAKER_01]: You have the on Grand Slam, it's like, oh, we're
1:10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw a lot of people like one of the criticisms of Fletcher winning this TNT championship where people going, man, he's better than this.
1:10:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is he still in this midcard title?
1:10:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He should be elevated, he should be in the main event and I actually think him being TNT champion.
1:10:34
[SPEAKER_01]: is to do that.
1:10:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just think these, it, this all seems to be building towards a three way.
1:10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we want to see the singles matches as well.
1:10:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
1:10:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe it's something you do peek at all in or something and have it, you know, the, all in is the, the unification like tradition of these things.
1:10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.
1:10:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, that match sounds crazy.
1:10:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I think
1:11:03
[SPEAKER_00]: sound great.
1:11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they sound awesome.
1:11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I cannot wait to see any of those matches this year, but three way sounds great.
1:11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I see what you're saying with like, why wouldn't you have the three of them?
1:11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They're still sprinkling K-F-A-Wise.
1:11:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have that my boy Taka, but what?
1:11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: When you leave this group by now, like, they literally turn on you.
1:11:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm just like, I'm so sorry.
1:11:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I think as well from Takeshita's point of view, and they haven't necessarily told this story, but he was the first member of the of the Don Callous family.
1:11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And think, if you add to kind of the whole thing, the language barrier coming over from Japan, and Don Callis was the one who took him under his wing, took him to NBA games and Synobon, and all that.
1:11:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it took him before you knew me.
1:11:51
[SPEAKER_00]: You were only going to Synobon.
1:11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, now you're, you're a star.
1:11:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
1:11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
1:11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
1:11:58
[SPEAKER_00]: There's that loyalty thing that you could maybe play with why he hasn't left already.
1:12:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
1:12:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
1:12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see the rematch with Moxley.
1:12:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure after the match when the crowd was just booing and you had Moxley tell the ref something and then the ref goes over and tells to Kestha and then to Kestha gets up and him and Moxley get in each other's face and then he ends up hitting
1:12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: the raging fire on moxley.
1:12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, Oh, but he got the heat back, I guess, brother.
1:12:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So I had imagined revolution is the rematch of this.
1:12:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm totally okay with that.
1:12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because again, the last few minutes, I was like, Oh, my God, this is really high.
1:12:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I can't wait to see the, I think to catch this, should beat him.
1:12:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so either that's gonna open mocks up for either Osprey or the being booted out of the Yeah, that's right as or whatever you want to do with that like what if Marksly gets kicked out and then Osprey comes back like oh, hey, I know it was you but like really it was your boys and I I got the beef with them or something I don't I
1:13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, love, love this match and again the last few minutes was the stretch was incredible we had a women's tag team title match the where they call themselves mega bad
1:13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
1:13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I realized, I was like, why is Penelope before calling herself bad?
1:13:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it bad boy?
1:13:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Joey, you know, no, no, no, super bad kept Sabian, right, of course.
1:13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: She just loves bad.
1:13:29
[SPEAKER_00]: She loves the bad boys, I guess.
1:13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We got mega bad, which I guess is a funny name versus the babes of Wrath.
1:13:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And one gripe is like,
1:13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: later in the night, they're going to be like from Sydney, Australia, Kyle Fletcher, here they just went tag team champs, Harley and, yeah, it's like, oh, okay, you could have maybe, you know, hyped that up a little bit considering she's from Australia, but,
1:14:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, this was a fun match as well.
1:14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a few spots that were a little hairy.
1:14:05
[SPEAKER_00]: There's like Harley was like walking around at one point.
1:14:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of don't even blame her.
1:14:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of just blamed the camera work for some reason.
1:14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: They decided on a close-up when she was doing the worst, like getting ready for the next spot situation.
1:14:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So unfortunately it just looked like she was dancing in the standing groggy.
1:14:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, I would kind of blame the shot, like tightened it on her.
1:14:29
[SPEAKER_00]: but having Harley get the backslide and retaining the titles here in Australia was a good look.
1:14:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, an L.P. Ford somehow got another.
1:14:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Amazon woman to join her because this tall lady shows up and beats up the tag champions and stands tall with Megan Bane and Penelope.
1:14:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So Lina Cross?
1:14:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Lina Cross.
1:14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
1:14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming she's from Australia because the way they were hyping her up, but I could be wrong.
1:14:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they did say independently in Australia.
1:15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
1:15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: She looked very tall considering she was in the ring with Megan Bane and like
1:15:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she got booed, so I don't know if people necessarily knew who she was, but it's also they attacked Harley and why am I keep blanking on who the champion, willow, of course.
1:15:20
[SPEAKER_00]: This was in my favorite mad, maybe my weak point of the show, but it still was like fine.
1:15:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think sometimes they, uh, some of these run ins, they do it, do an AEW.
1:15:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, it doesn't always work with the surprise thing because unless it's a big, big name, your left a bit, I don't know.
1:15:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is this?
1:15:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, what's happening?
1:15:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:15:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, then maybe,
1:15:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Alina Crosse would be better built up in Finiettes and stuff like that to build up who this character was more similar closer to what they did with Tecler Right, they they had this like little story of Tecler coming in I just always think back to the Satan I'm sitting at sing debut or puttrum blade debut where they were like these big light lights off lights on and then you go who?
1:16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And not that they did the lights off and on thing, but I did get a sense from this crowd
1:16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, even if you didn't know, like, you're like, oh, sorry, we can't tell who that is and they're telling you on commentary, like, oh, it's this person's like, okay, I'm sure they're great, but literally have no idea who they are, but I guess we shall see what they're made of because they are all elite now, so we shall see.
1:16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Hangman and on dry day first time fighting here, so this is a bit of a little little dream match for some I'm sure but it was cool You know seeing their styles kind of blend well with a lot of counters for counters and both these guys pretty on top of their game A funny spot on dry days been doing the whole what like
1:17:08
[SPEAKER_00]: romantic character yeah he's got the girls love him and everything so he goes ringsides starts taking photos with this this girl ringside and getting kisses on the cheek and then hangman goes and gets gets the phone and then takes photos with the influencer and she goes to give him a kiss and hangman's like oh no no no I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm married sorry just hangman
1:17:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll take photos with anyone, wonny, just take photos with just anyone, shouldn't you?
1:17:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I do find it fine, I saw like a little bit on on line of people just going like criticizing this and be like, oh, it's it's clearly a palm and I'm just like,
1:17:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this wrestling, it ain't real, like, yeah, a lot of it is plants.
1:18:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's a funny bit in the match.
1:18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Get over it.
1:18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a plant.
1:18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, when Jelly Roll or... Yeah, we're in the front row on rocks.
1:18:12
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no shit.
1:18:13
[SPEAKER_01]: There just happens to be on all these AW shows.
1:18:17
[SPEAKER_01]: A beautiful woman stood front row in these on dry day matches.
1:18:25
[SPEAKER_00]: What was the one on last week?
1:18:28
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like this like only fans' battle and then the story she posted of the match was like, this shit's fake.
1:18:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know anything about that, right?
1:18:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I'm pretty sure people were quick to be like, yeah, but so are you.
1:18:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the gimmick of Andrade having the who's the video.
1:18:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, what was the one I saw?
1:18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, okay, the gimmick here, Don Callis was pretty funny being like, oh, like, you should we have the hotel far away from the venue because the women start to chase after Andrade.
1:19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I have to book him.
1:19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: like far away because we have to like avoid all the ladies and stuff.
1:19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But did you see who's this wrestler?
1:19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it sub-sabernero?
1:19:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah fuck, who is it?
1:19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He posted a video from Valentine's Day the other day.
1:19:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So Barano Jr.
1:19:20
[SPEAKER_00]: He held a Valentine's Day event where he got all these women to show up and it's all these women giving him roses and stuff.
1:19:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, that's a truth.
1:19:29
[UNKNOWN]: Like,
1:19:29
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a true man right there.
1:19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, hey, if you're hot come out to my Valentine's Day event So he shows up and it's just all these women there for him.
1:19:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So now I will say I don't you you mentioned about you know To cash to being essentially a baby face in a heel stable.
1:19:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm dry day is someone who I think will
1:19:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it doesn't really need to change a thing about him, but I think he's getting over his baby face right now.
1:19:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And this spot itself is a bit of a baby face spot, right?
1:19:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he's got the cool heel, unfortunately.
1:20:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah, and I don't know if, uh, him staying with Don Carlos family too long, or, or do we, like, the Don Carlos family is so huge.
1:20:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Do we end up just getting, like,
1:20:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Don call us wolf pack, you know, like kids just a bit of a split where it's all these people just happen to be represented by Don call us, but you can play with it have your your healed on call us and your baby faced on call us maybe, but I think I think on dry day, it really feels like
1:20:32
[SPEAKER_01]: him as a performer.
1:20:33
[SPEAKER_01]: You say his champion just wanting to wrestle, but he's like, man, I've wasted my last five years of me at my prime of doing
1:20:45
[SPEAKER_01]: good shit.
1:20:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And he seems to be enjoying himself a lot more this time round.
1:20:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think, you know, leaving the first time with a W on good terms, you know, they gave him some big wins in that continental plastic, knowing he was on the way out.
1:20:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's, it's gained maybe a lot of respect for Tony Khan from him.
1:21:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like trusting at this time.
1:21:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's they're putting him right in the main event mix early.
1:21:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he belongs there.
1:21:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think you, you could have him
1:21:14
[SPEAKER_01]: potentially as a baby face, challenging an NJF or someone down the line.
1:21:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's wrestling at a whole other level right now.
1:21:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the past few weeks since he's come back,
1:21:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, again, I've really enjoyed the, like, hangman, Kenny, Swerv, M.J.F.
1:21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Undraught it, like, look at these top guys, like, I kind of like the fact that we lost the title flip to Joe, then to M.J.F.
1:21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know if M.J.
1:21:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I was gonna hold it all the way till all in.
1:21:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't mind it flipping around.
1:21:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a bit of like, hey, look at these, like, six plus top contenders here, a bit like, you know,
1:21:54
[SPEAKER_00]: hot time of WBF when you like Austin Rock Triple H Kurt like all the like there's so many different ways you could go and so many different things and I don't know what it is with on dry day but this last few weeks he's it's something's clicked and switched on of like oh wait no I want to show why I am
1:22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: good at this and maybe one of the best I love this match too.
1:22:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So hang man like him and and Andrade really went at it here.
1:22:21
[SPEAKER_00]: There's like that awesome inverted Spanish fly like this.
1:22:24
[SPEAKER_00]: This was great.
1:22:24
[SPEAKER_01]: That was it.
1:22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a point I loved and I don't know if it was like a slip up on a call on the fly or a plan spot.
1:22:33
[SPEAKER_01]: But when Andrade did his tornado, he landed slightly short.
1:22:39
[SPEAKER_01]: and hangman then caught him and went straight into the fall away slam into the barricade.
1:22:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I don't know if that was originally planned or not but it it worked so well because I was like oh he's he's got a bit short there and then it went right into it.
1:22:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was great and I do love I like in wrestling when a baby face
1:23:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Cheats because they were going to get cheated, you know, catching the kick to the balls and then doing it himself.
1:23:06
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's fair again.
1:23:07
[SPEAKER_01]: You try to kick me in the balls I'm going to kick you in the balls.
1:23:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I I think that makes a baby facing cooler to me than you know holding a title belts and crying because I don't know if I have it in me to cheat and use this belt against this man like I kind of I like the finish to this match
1:23:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because we've seen Don Calus does that all the time where he gets up on the apron, distracts and then the guy kicks him low.
1:23:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So Hangman had it scouted like a smart baby face and kicked him in the nuts and hit the buck shot and won it.
1:23:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So Hangman beats and dry day, fun match here.
1:23:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think on dry day stay strong.
1:23:43
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll have a program.
1:23:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure going into that paper view, but Hangman versus
1:23:53
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got about a month coming to a revolution.
1:23:56
[SPEAKER_01]: We still have a little bit of time.
1:23:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, Fletcher, he's tied up.
1:24:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in the family and he's the champion.
1:24:02
[SPEAKER_00]: The cash just is probably going for that belt.
1:24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if there's another belt on Johnny could go for on Draw Day Mark Brisco.
1:24:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
1:24:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know if that's a paper view match, but like that something you could book.
1:24:15
[SPEAKER_00]: down the line.
1:24:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But either way, I'm sure he'll be fine.
1:24:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I just I would imagine he is on that paper view because he's pretty good right now.
1:24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But we have our main event.
1:24:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Hangman and Jeff, it is a rematch, but I felt I felt like we needed this one more time anyways.
1:24:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I felt like the last time, maybe rub people the wrong way.
1:24:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, my wrong.
1:24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, the hangman, MJF.
1:24:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I remember there's like the weird finish and people were like kind of like all that sucked.
1:24:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But like the match was good.
1:24:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the finish was ruined it kind of.
1:24:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what was the finish?
1:24:46
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a kick in the bones or something was not right.
1:24:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember.
1:24:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably, yeah, but yeah.
1:24:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's our main event.
1:24:54
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a tag match.
1:24:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Hair versus hair.
1:24:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I feel like everyone knew we were you that was going to cut his head.
1:25:04
[SPEAKER_00]: No one thought Tony Storm was cutting her hair in this match.
1:25:08
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I thought of the four of them, Orange Casti was the least likely to cut his hair.
1:25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: True, true.
1:25:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I think Tony is mad enough that you could see she's always thinking of ways to evolve a character and stuff like that that I could maybe see it and I think Marina just being the badass of
1:25:27
[SPEAKER_01]: of the death rioters.
1:25:28
[SPEAKER_01]: You could potentially see it as well.
1:25:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I obviously uters the obvious choice, but the other two, I was like, uh, maybe Orange Cassidy was the only one I'm like, he ain't going boot.
1:25:39
[SPEAKER_01]: That didn't happen.
1:25:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the pile driver to Tony on like the like cases.
1:25:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was pretty crazy.
1:25:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you had Marina Shafir going crazy and doing evil shit like she always does.
1:25:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And then one of my favorite
1:25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: on a wrestling show.
1:25:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So much that I texted my Aussie buddy who's not even a wrestling fan.
1:26:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Because this Sydney crowd chanted, your shit content.
1:26:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was you.
1:26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you does the shit come.
1:26:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, you're just so fucking good, uh, hilarious.
1:26:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Like no, they shit.
1:26:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They chant that at like what like rugby, cricket and footy and all that shit.
1:26:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of is the sorry if I'm offending.
1:26:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I was he any Aussie.
1:26:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I know uses that phrase like in multiple uses.
1:26:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's kind of like we have to wear ballads.
1:26:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So like ballads can mean shit.
1:26:32
[SPEAKER_01]: or like, but if it's the dog's follow-ups, it's good.
1:26:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think like, come, is often kind of used as mate, but if you were shit, come, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're
1:27:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He got his head shaved.
1:27:01
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like the whole roster came out here and sure.
1:27:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was all.
1:27:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You had all that was missing was Bobby Lashley and Donald Trump out here to shave this guy's hero.
1:27:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I always think of the what was it was on dark set side, uh, sinister minister shaving.
1:27:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's head was it?
1:27:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Raven Raven.
1:27:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm just using the clip was wrong and just like cutting into his stout.
1:27:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Now bleeding.
1:27:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:27:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're just going to look way better with a, with a, with a shave head.
1:27:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I think yeah, he's in his Danielson run now.
1:27:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, turn baby.
1:27:36
[SPEAKER_00]: No one from now that he shaved his hair, he'll turn baby face again.
1:27:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, I thought this was really fun.
1:27:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And I liked the, uh, the men and women mixing it up here.
1:27:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I thought it was some really cool spots between all of them.
1:27:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently on the house show, there was another mixed tag and
1:27:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, amazing.
1:27:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Which sounds, I'm sure they taped it, right?
1:27:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Mark's Lee Tony Stormfighting.
1:28:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a dream at all.
1:28:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright.
1:28:03
[SPEAKER_00]: booked that in a hardcore Hollywood ending, Moxley and Tony Storm would see who can die in the match for us.
1:28:12
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be pretty good.
1:28:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We had the latter match, speaking of people who have a death wish, Kyle Fletcher in the same week, he won back the TNT title.
1:28:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He wanted the homecoming in Sydney, Australia, and he got it because he beat Champa for the belt, and yet he has to face brisco again.
1:28:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this number eight?
1:28:31
[SPEAKER_00]: In the f-7, the best of seven, of course.
1:28:34
[SPEAKER_00]: How could I forget?
1:28:35
[SPEAKER_00]: This time it's a ladder match, Mark Briscoe, Kyle Fletcher, the hometown hero here, even though he's kind of a bad guy, but this was pretty crazy with all the different insane ladder spots.
1:28:49
[SPEAKER_00]: These guys were killing each other when it didn't involve ladders, but now
1:28:53
[SPEAKER_00]: you got like moon salt off ladders you got a spot where he lawn darts brisco into a ladder which instantly busted him open there was blood all over the place um i know you like the side russian legs sweep off the ladder right really dangerous spot there
1:29:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, Don Callis.
1:29:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this was like a TV special, right?
1:29:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're watching on, uh, uh, Trela, a trailer A, W plus and all that.
1:29:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get the picture picture like full through it never cuts to break.
1:29:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But we always talk about how picture and picture commentary is the best, right?
1:29:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Don Callis had me rolling during picture picture.
1:29:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He's complaining about Rick Knox.
1:29:36
[SPEAKER_00]: who the referee is, this is a ladder match.
1:29:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The referee just has to sit there and watch the match.
1:29:41
[SPEAKER_00]: That's their job.
1:29:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And Don Callis is like, Rick Knox.
1:29:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm surprised they even let him travel this far into this, I'm surprised they let Rick Knox into this country.
1:29:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't like Rick Knox.
1:29:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Bless him, but maybe one of the worst reps.
1:29:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought I was,
1:29:58
[SPEAKER_00]: him picking on him was, I don't even know if that's baby face or heal work, but I really liked it.
1:30:04
[SPEAKER_00]: When we came back, there was this crazy power bomb through a ladder.
1:30:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark Briscoe is biting him on the forehead and says, uh, it tastes like shrimp on a Barbie and done, again, making the laugh goes.
1:30:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, that's kind of, uh, culturally insensitive.
1:30:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yeah.
1:30:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They make those kinds of jokes.
1:30:21
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a J-driller through a ladder.
1:30:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm seeing on social media today, this was right in front
1:30:30
[SPEAKER_00]: sitting rainside, watching or sun get driven through a ladder right in front of her hilarious.
1:30:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But the brain buster spot, like insanity, one of the craziest ladder bumps that not even a super plex awful ladder doing like the the drop brain buster from top.
1:30:47
[SPEAKER_00]: the latter that you're a mad man.
1:30:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know whose crazy are doing it or taking it here in this which allowed brisco to get crushed as you get, I think you got backdrop finally at the end, but Kyle Fletcher winning retaining the TNT title and revealing the pink strap for the title now going forward.
1:31:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, this was crazy.
1:31:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is great.
1:31:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I think all of their matches
1:31:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that they gave a bit of a break between six and this one, you know, now it's that they kind of had to do number seven at some point, but they've been tied together for so long.
1:31:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Right decision, flex your going over.
1:31:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost fell and I don't know if we'll get something on Dynamite.
1:31:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost felt the Mark Brisco character should have shown him respect at the end of the match.
1:31:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it, you know, finally we, to really put a close on this chapter between these two, it's like fair enough, you've won it, you're the guy, you be.
1:31:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe he'll say, give him some props on Wednesday, but I thought that could be, could have been nice at the end of that, but yeah, great stuff.
1:31:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this, this show, like this week of AW was incredible.
1:32:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And to think that, we still had a main event to go after this was pretty awesome.
1:32:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yeah, sweatshirt having not only this match, which was crazy, but the champ a match on Wednesday.
1:32:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I preferred the champ a match to this, but I still really like this this match.
1:32:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the show was really fun and the crowd really make it.
1:32:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Where do you go with Fletcher at a revolution?
1:32:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you do a champ a rematch?
1:32:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there a possibility or who else is there?
1:32:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Like did
1:32:32
[SPEAKER_01]: whether didn't have a night and speedball say that they're looking for singles gold as well.
1:32:39
[SPEAKER_01]: True.
1:32:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they were like hangman's off route.
1:32:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see a Kevin night, Fletcher, match, potential.
1:32:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he can be people, speedball beat him, right?
1:32:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So like, oh, yeah.
1:32:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe you could go to that.
1:32:52
[SPEAKER_01]: What about a four way?
1:32:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Champa, Fletcher, speedball night?
1:32:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.
1:32:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not?
1:32:58
[SPEAKER_00]: like that could be pretty crazy, but I kind of like, okay, the stuff with Ocata to Kasta and Fletcher, like there's gotta be a boiling point this year, whether you're saying a triple threat at all in would totally be okay with that, but I want to Kasta Fletcher one on one.
1:33:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Almost as bad as I want another if not more.
1:33:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, they know Kada to catch the one on one one more time like I thought like We got it, but we need it one more time if that makes sense and I don't know if it's gonna be in Tokyo, don't more if that's gonna be in an eight of you Fletcher man what a week what a year this guy's already it's only February, but
1:33:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be a wrestler of the year that's I feel I feel like this year is going to be boss the wall.
1:33:42
[SPEAKER_00]: This kid is awesome So good to see I also saw that he showed up at one of the independence this weekend as well in in Australia So fly to yeah, so cool to see that to then we had the main event
1:33:55
[SPEAKER_00]: which was MJF versus Brody King for the A, W championship.
1:34:02
[SPEAKER_00]: A, W getting a lot of attention from a few weeks ago with the fuck ice chance from the crowd, which so much CNN has talked about it, like all these reports and new sites have been talking about
1:34:26
[SPEAKER_00]: using their brains.
1:34:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:34:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's so woke.
1:34:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Wrestling was the world is gone mad because wrestling fans are like, what?
1:34:38
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
1:34:38
[SPEAKER_00]: What's happened?
1:34:39
[SPEAKER_00]: What people that could cannot fathom that wrestling fans are thinking for themselves.
1:34:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
1:34:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was pretty funny.
1:34:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there was some fuck ice chance.
1:34:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what?
1:34:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to be getting, yeah, yeah.
1:34:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Australians, they hate ice.
1:34:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, MJF doing promo for this in Australia.
1:35:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, uh, don't know why we had to come here.
1:35:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you guys all talk funny.
1:35:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Your food is just okay.
1:35:11
[SPEAKER_00]: And Bondi Beach is pretty mid because I visited way better beaches in the States.
1:35:17
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the most divine IV, which is actually amazing.
1:35:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so beautiful.
1:35:20
[SPEAKER_00]: That is such a dick thing to say.
1:35:23
[SPEAKER_00]: These people, but I like the little things there.
1:35:26
[SPEAKER_00]: MJF Brody King, he brought out the kangaroo kick.
1:35:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You haven't seen that one in quite a while.
1:35:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like, oh, God, this is an A, W, world title match.
1:35:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But then when he hits the kick, it looks pretty good.
1:35:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't mind the kangaroo kick.
1:35:42
[SPEAKER_00]: This was, this was okay.
1:35:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't necessarily love this.
1:35:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't my match at the night or anything.
1:35:47
[SPEAKER_00]: As soon as Brody misses the cannonball, which look like it sucked to just land on your head, it basically turned into MJF beating on him for a big chunk of the match.
1:35:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And then,
1:36:00
[SPEAKER_00]: ends up winning.
1:36:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, okay, I was maybe expecting a few more like hope spots in this time.
1:36:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't expecting him to win, but they had the great 2.99 kick out from the Gonzo bomb, which when you consider like it was they set up the same thing, right?
1:36:17
[SPEAKER_01]: They did the choke and then the cannonball and then the Gonzo bomb, which is how he beats him two weeks ago.
1:36:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that
1:36:29
[SPEAKER_00]: styles maybe go with each other too well yeah I didn't love it like I love both these guys but I didn't I don't maybe I just didn't believe
1:36:41
[SPEAKER_00]: that he's going to win.
1:36:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of the fin baller scene punk thing.
1:36:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, well, I know that you're not going to leave a guy to do this, but I still enjoy like I like both these guys and these characters and Brody could easily be slotted into way more singles matches.
1:36:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You had the stuff bandido came out and stuff, but you could easily go back to them as a tag team or as solo acts and competitors in this year.
1:37:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But I
1:37:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Talk to bottom.
1:37:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this show was great like you had if you went to this show like this could be someone in Australia who watches And doesn't get to go because of where you live like this would be a more than a treat to attend and see Not only some great wrestling, but you got a snapshot of like
1:37:20
[SPEAKER_00]: all the stars here and and some great wrestling.
1:37:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of, I think my favorite match on this show was Moxley and the Kesta.
1:37:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that I think about it, just just from those two going at it.
1:37:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like that.
1:37:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like the mixed tag actually.
1:37:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was, it was a lot of fun.
1:37:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Like everything on this was, was great.
1:37:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like a really good episode of Dynamite if that makes sense.
1:37:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like it maybe didn't feel like a paper view or something, but it's still, it was a good show to bridge the gap in this long, like months without a paper view.
1:37:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So it felt as big an event as you could have done without being a paper view.
1:37:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I thoroughly enjoyed it.
1:37:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, AW this week was great.
1:38:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Both shows were awesome.
1:38:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I thought they really knocked it out the park with dynamite end this grand slant.
1:38:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a grand slam.
1:38:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see if it is with Wednesday with dynamite, Kenny Omega versus Swarve like that's that sells the show for me.
1:38:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm sure there's other stuff on the show, but like,
1:38:16
[SPEAKER_00]: that sounds great and then we had a hangman come out afterwards with mjf so like that's what's announced for revolution is what bucks and ftr and hangman yeah mjf anything else you see added to that show we were kind of speculated yeah i tell Kenny's love i see being on that yeah what else would it would be get a
1:38:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, mox to kester, rematch.
1:38:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:38:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Put that on there.
1:38:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, whether you do speedball flexure as an option, maybe, because you've got Ocard as belt as well, maybe you do speedball flexure on Ocarda, Kevin Knight.
1:38:56
[SPEAKER_01]: As a thing.
1:38:57
[SPEAKER_01]: As a thing.
1:38:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Tecler, who could Tecler face?
1:39:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Jamie?
1:39:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, Tecler and Jamie, you could go there again.
1:39:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Or yeah, you've got willow like is she going to defend the tags or the TNT title, which way.
1:39:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, right.
1:39:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:39:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:39:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:39:20
[SPEAKER_00]: It's normally a pretty great show.
1:39:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, like hands down, it's going to be great.
1:39:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the day after is one of the tickets for all in going.
1:39:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're going to be, what have we got?
1:39:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Revolution, Dynasty, a double or nothing.
1:39:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in all end, that's what we got left right up until there.
1:39:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, this week was honestly, I've been loving the last few weeks.
1:39:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I've really been enjoying the way they've been presenting like MJF fits into this pretty easily of like, oh, I'm the evil bad guy champion, but then you just look at the playing field of all these different characters that are that seem hot right now and just seem like again on top of the game when it comes to
1:40:01
[SPEAKER_00]: wrestling so where the best wrestled like the wrestling really connects with these with these shows so let's see what they can continue to momentum so good stuff from from grand slam australia i saw some people in our Facebook Poisoner on a Facebook group were commenting that they were at the show and had a good time and
1:40:18
[SPEAKER_00]: and everything like that.
1:40:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So, again, it's interesting when they go overseas, same with WWE, like these people aren't used to this, like Corpus Christi, how many fucking shows do they get a year?
1:40:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago, how many shows do they get a year?
1:40:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Toronto, we don't get that many, but we still get way more than Australia and all that, but it is interesting seeing the indie scene and stuff blow up over there too.
1:40:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So, cool.
1:40:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Good stuff.
1:40:43
[SPEAKER_00]: What about WWE this week?
1:40:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Um well, we talked about Raw on Tuesday.
1:40:50
[SPEAKER_01]: We covered that a bit.
1:40:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We hated Becky.
1:40:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Becky AJ wasn't great.
1:40:55
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had we had Cody qualify for the elimination chamber.
1:41:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Jacob Fattu and Drew seems to be maybe set as a match because they're a little drew into fearing and taken out Jacob Fattu in the main event there.
1:41:11
[SPEAKER_01]: but really like I not a whole lot happened.
1:41:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got live still teasing that she might might challenge Jade but I don't see I think Stephanie live makes a whole lot of sense and seems to be the way they're really going.
1:41:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not loving it right now.
1:41:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, these qualifiers, I don't think have been particularly exciting.
1:41:33
[SPEAKER_01]: These triple threat matches they've been doing.
1:41:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think even though you like surprises and you like guesswork, I think you do want a bit of direction and I don't necessarily feel we're feeling that.
1:41:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So I felt, I felt the slow this week with the SmackDown with three hours SmackDown.
1:41:57
[SPEAKER_01]: didn't really fail where we had much movement across the board.
1:42:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I felt the same way.
1:42:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt the same way.
1:42:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Trying to catch up, like I watched Ron on Tuesday morning, but trying to catch up with some of the SmackDown and I was like, I don't care about any of this.
1:42:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I didn't feel, it felt like the, the ones that weren't good.
1:42:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Like when that, when people were like, oh, three hours, but it's even the stuff that's normally good.
1:42:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I kind of, I almost felt the, you heard it in the crowd as well when,
1:42:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Melo said that the Open Challenges closed this week.
1:42:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, come on, that's the, that's the good shit we get.
1:42:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the US Open Challenges every week.
1:42:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, we got some just generic six man, eight man, tag, 10 man, tag, whatever it was with Matt Cardona and Apollo Cruz who they found in the back of a closet somewhere I think.
1:42:46
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still there, like that was disappointing.
1:42:52
[SPEAKER_01]: not necessarily enjoying the Alexa and Charlotte stuff.
1:42:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I imagine they'll both qualify for the chamber and you'll have a similar thing to what you happen in the rumble.
1:43:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe with those too, but I don't really care about them as a team.
1:43:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Lash has been good.
1:43:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Lash had a really good performance at the rumble and I think she's growing even more in confidence and stuff on the mic.
1:43:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she's got some presence about her.
1:43:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They teased an EOS sky and Julia match, which could be cool, like not particularly enjoying Julia at the moment, but maybe just if you let her and EOS go at it, that would be cool to see.
1:43:33
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's not like I just want to get a lemonade hash out the way now, because it's not feeling particularly interesting.
1:43:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, let's then really crack on with the build, because I thought we had a good start the other week.
1:43:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Raw with Punk and
1:43:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Punk and Roman was really exciting and it felt like, yes, we're on WrestleMania season and I'm not getting that sense on SmackDown at all.
1:43:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, I kind of just want elimination chamber to be done with so that we're only focused now on WrestleMania and only focused on where we're going seeing the direction of what's the match is what are the programs or the story.
1:44:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think being as critical as maybe we were last year, it's almost like it's, I'm kind of like it's going to be the same thing.
1:44:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be the same thing this year.
1:44:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of dreading that it will be.
1:44:27
[SPEAKER_00]: The playing field last year's build was better than this so far.
1:44:31
[SPEAKER_01]: At this point in time, I know the Roman Seth Punk direction, like I know people wanted a single smash, but that was laid out from the rumble, you know, you did see that that was the direction they were going from the rumble.
1:44:46
[SPEAKER_01]: with those three.
1:44:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously, see, you know, we knew pretty much like from chamber.
1:44:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, think chamber changed everything.
1:44:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, last year.
1:44:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we were like, oh, this is going to be so good.
1:44:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it wasn't.
1:45:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But you had that big moment with the rock John Cena at chamber.
1:45:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Whereas you're not going to have that this year and unless the rock shows up to help boost ticket sales.
1:45:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, but I don't think that's the case.
1:45:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You got punk and AJ Lee wrestling on that show.
1:45:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Chicago, they're going to show up.
1:45:17
[SPEAKER_00]: No matter.
1:45:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.
1:45:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's not an issue.
1:45:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's not an issue.
1:45:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the actual creative of like where are we going with some of these stories and why should we care about some of these stories?
1:45:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, like they didn't, they did
1:45:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm tired of people like all the last year wasn't that bad.
1:45:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I don't know.
1:45:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't like it.
1:45:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't make me super hyped when Sina turned heel.
1:45:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It did.
1:45:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It had everyone.
1:45:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it just fizzled and fizzled.
1:45:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the time you've been got through WrestleMania, we were like hanging onto that thread of like, okay, Cody and Sina will be good though.
1:45:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Travis Scott happened.
1:45:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, I don't know.
1:45:57
[SPEAKER_00]: This year I'm like, my hopes have definitely dropped from the year previously of Mania 40,
1:46:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We got time.
1:46:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Post chamber.
1:46:06
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to kick it in the gear.
1:46:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, hopefully we'll see.
1:46:10
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, wasn't too much on the WWE front this week, but we will be talking about NXT.
1:46:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I just saw post wrestling was reporting the Georgia show.
1:46:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think that was all?
1:46:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:46:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.
1:46:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So do you do?
1:46:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you talk about parking lot now?
1:46:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it is that true?
1:46:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that true or there's no one like this wasn't a big venue right like this was only a few hundred seats anyway So I I'm sure they were able to shift them, but yeah the
1:46:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it curious.
1:46:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So just going back to the PC, again, no, we mentioned this one Tuesday.
1:46:53
[SPEAKER_01]: No real announcement for Stan and deliver yet and no announcement of a vengeance day this year either.
1:47:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's he's they're going to be putting a tough spot.
1:47:05
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to try to fill a venue that big before WrestleMania on that Saturday.
1:47:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they will.
1:47:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're going to.
1:47:11
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe downsize or PC or something, yeah, is it just shallow hill lane, filling the mobile arena, so we shall see.
1:47:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And then also that stuff about the the fuck ice stuff that came out CNN then reporting that WB has an ownership stake in AEW.
1:47:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that's something I think most people kind of were assuming, but seeing CNN just
1:47:38
[SPEAKER_00]: plan out say that I think was like the first time people were like oh look they're they're actual journalists and stuff like right like outside of the wrestling bubble someone to be like oh they have a stake in it which uh is interesting because what's going on with like Netflix and WB is not a whole
1:47:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
1:47:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So like I don't know what's to come of that, but CNN saying that is like interesting to say the least, but I'm not saying we're going to see AEW on Netflix anytime soon.
1:48:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's my last piece of the day.
1:48:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Noah teasing something with Netflix.
1:48:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, some Japanese wrestlers were posting that they were doing a shoot for Netflix Japan today.
1:48:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were all the Noah superstars, which makes me think to WWE, help Noah get a partnership with Netflix.
1:48:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And is that why?
1:48:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry.
1:48:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
1:48:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's going to be on Netflix.
1:48:35
[SPEAKER_00]: All I'm saying was that they were posting photos literally before I was recording with you today.
1:48:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And in Amara and Marifuji were at Netflix.
1:48:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And they said, we can't say anything right now, but big things coming, and we did a photo shoot today.
1:48:51
[SPEAKER_00]: or a shoot of some sort.
1:48:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, is that why Naito, Haromu, all these people who are leaving in Japan?
1:49:01
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're like, fuck you, we'll just go on Netflix.
1:49:05
[SPEAKER_00]: May you go to WWE, sort of, if that makes sense.
1:49:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
1:49:09
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see if that actually happens, but I'm interested in that.
1:49:14
[SPEAKER_00]: That picture definitely was like, hmm, okay, Noah, interesting.
1:49:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We shall see what happens, but that's kind of all we got today.
1:49:23
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
1:49:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
1:49:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:49:26
[SPEAKER_00]: We will be back Tuesday after NXT on post wrestling for a new episode of up next.
1:49:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk all about who's the champ.
1:49:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe Hendry, Dark State, uh, the good stuff on Tuesdays.
1:49:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Only the best on Tuesdays on post wrestling.
