• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. You know what that means.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: It's time for Ignition with the AAW fanho podcast team.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: This is Kelson and We've got a lot to talk
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: about tonight. How's it going, everybody?
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Nice?
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: What a week. There's been some crazy, crazy crap.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: That happened this week that had absolutely nothing to do
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: what was with what was in the ring.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: But we'll get that out. You know.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: What I want to talk about first though, Uh, just briefly,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: is uh this stacked a W Dynamite card and I
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: can't bring up the card because I'm having a little
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: bit of a technical issue. Same thing that happened to
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: us last week. Very odd. But anyway, once again, dynamite
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: seems like it's stacked and we've had how many weeks
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: of stacked dynamites and collisions?
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: At least three at minimum. I'd say aw's been really
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: holding it down for about two or three months.
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, it just won't quit.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels like the entire month of February we
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: just had great show after great show after a great
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: fricking show.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean personally, you know, when remember a couple
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago when due to illness and whatnot, a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: lot of wrestlers were we had to miss aw Dynamite
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: and the show was kind of rewritten that day and
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: it was still a good show. It was a little
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: bit disjointed in myinion, but it was still a good
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: show if people loved it. And I don't think anybody
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: would have even realized that it was that way.
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: Whenever stuff like this comes up, Tony is really good
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: at like rebooking on the fly.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's go ahead and move on to our
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: first topic. And the first topic we're going to talk
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: about is Jet Speed. They've been getting a mega push.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: They really have been getting a mega push, and there
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: are others in the jets please mute, I can hear
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: everything you're doing.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Sorry about that, everybody.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: But they're getting a mega push to the point where
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: they're not only the World Trios Championship champions but it
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: seems like they're in the World Tag Team Championship picture.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: They're in the world championship picture, and looks to me
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: like other wrestlers in a w are poised to get
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the same treatment that have never gotten that treatment before.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: What do you guys, think, Yeah, I am a big
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: fan of that's a big fan of people Mike Bailey
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: and Kevin.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: K I separately really enjoy them as a team. I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: all for them getting a puss and I'm all for
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you know, some newer names getting that push, because you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: right now, you look at the main event scene and
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: a lot of not a lot, but you have a
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: few top tier guys that are probably getting near that. Okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna start winding down, So you've got to find
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: those guys who are ready to you know, move up
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: into that spot in the next two three, maybe even
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: five years. But you've got to find them now and
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: at least get them where people see him as the
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: guys who can hang with the mainer fingers of today.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Right. I do want to pause here.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: We have somebody in the chat skateboard Sandwich talking about Dynamite.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: He said, to quote the wrestling beaker, banger after banger
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: after banger. Can't argue with that, Buddy, can't argue with
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that at all.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean to your point, you know, these are
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: two incredible, incredible talents. Speedball Mike Bailey has been on
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: the scene almost twenty years. Everything he's touched is absolute golden.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Kevin Knight, My god, what a higher what the dude
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: could do almost anything. I think I have to agree
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: with the overall consensus of it's Tony finally has found
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: his footing in, you know, hiring outside of the old
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: NXTWWE team and investing into new and younger talent. Not
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: that Speedball is younger, younger, and not that these aren't
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: coming from a place where Tony keeps sourcing talent, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: New Japan because they love AW so much right now,
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: but you know, love to see these guys continue to
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: go over. They look fantastic with belts on them.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And a w r O H Rifle just said that
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: they hired x NXT talent work with top Dollar.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Uh that was a donna. Uh yeah, what was the donnas? Uh?
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And he did wrestle on Sunday at the R O
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: H tapings in Jacksonville, So he's coming on. Yeah, Shane,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: to your point, I mean, look at all these young
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: talent that have was you know, we'll talk. We're gonna
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: be talking about Zeta Steelsu. But she's definitely she's She's
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: already wrestled nine matches in a w r o H,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: which equals the same amount of matches he had in Evolve.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: So I mean, well, I mean there's plenty of young
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: talent on tomorrow's card. I mean, you got the Inspiration,
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: you got the ward Dogs, and my god, Thekla geez.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: No one talks about her nearly enough.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, We've actually talked about Techla quite a bit here,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: and we were actually all for Techla beating Chris Statlander
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the first time they faced each other, because I don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: know how you feel about a chain, but our consensus,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: generally speaking, was that Statlander really wasn't doing it for us.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Now, to be fair, talking to me about stat like,
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: that's my woman, so she's always going to be doing
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: it for me whenever she's on screen. What's up Alf,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: what's up? Sut and miss you dude. So I'm impartial
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: because I think tech was fantastic and I think, you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: just to kind of stay on topic, the way they're
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: pushing new talent, the way that they're showcasing new talent
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: has been really good. So I think it's really good
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: for a e W and Teca Tecla, you know, to
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: stay strapped up at least for a little while. Longer.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, is there anybody else on the roster,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: whether it's on a W or a R owah that
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: you see, you know, getting a at least a minor
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: push to the secondary belts that are you know that
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: we may eventually lead to something bigger for them.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Megan Bane, Yeah, yeah, all day Megan Bane. She looks
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: like the final ball. She looks like Jade Cargill looks
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: she looks like the final boss of the women's division.
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, don't forget about lean across.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: True, I feel like maybe an R A Wage, Dalton
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Castle and the outrunners might get a push to the
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: trios titles right now. I want to say it's Dane
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Taylor for Motions that has them, but it's you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: we've discussed a lot trios titles both in a W
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: and R OAS and I'm a fan of them, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like, combine the titles. Let it be,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: you know, ones that use it on both shows, don't.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I don't say there are oas or aw just say
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: they're you know, the trios titles and leave it at that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Let it be a fun belt that gets passed around
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: a little bit because of the chaos of treos matches
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: in general. But I think I think Tony Kamm likes
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: all three of those guys and I could see him
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: putting those belts on him and maybe using him to
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: make him mean a little more. But also those are
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: guys that are gonna have fun matches that you know
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the crowd likes them all. So yeah, i'd say they're
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: for Ario.
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: I like that Speedball and jet Speed are really to
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: edge to him now. I joked around that they could
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: maybe be not be fit as much face as maybe
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: tweeners like what Hangman is. Right now, I.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Say something something, You are the worst speller I've ever
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: seen in my life. And I mean that from a
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: love place that comes from love called Shane Skate. Okay, okay, skate,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I'll take it.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Actually, no, Shane's not back, and this is skate speaking,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: This is a skate.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: But you don't go back, Yes, Skater die, But I
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: want to go back to jet Speed because do you
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: see both of them being World Tag Team champions And
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: then when you look at the major belts, I guess
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: in aw I guess you could say the TNT Championship,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the Continental Championship at A or the AW Men's World Championship.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Do you see any They.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Are not saying that they have to capture the belt
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: to be relevant, but I think that they need to
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: be in the picture, you know, for the push. You know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: it makes them relevant. To be in the picture is
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: what makes you relevant, not the title itself in my opinion,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: but do you see any of them in these title pictures?
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I could see Kevin Knight winning the continental title in
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: a third match with Ocada, but because right now he's
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: one up on Ocada, So you do the title match,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: possibly a revolution, Okada wins it, and then you set
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: up down the line. You know, we're one and one.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Let's settle this and Kevin and I could definitely win
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: that one.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think it's I I have said it before,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: and I say said it, and I'll say it again.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I really, really, really am a fan of seeing younger
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: wrestlers develop. And when I say younger wrestlers, you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Mike Bailey's in his thirties. He's not super young, He's
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: in his prime, but he's not been afforded the chance
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to shine like the chance that AW is giving him currently,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: at least in my opinion, You guys, may disagree with
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: me on that, but this is what I enjoy. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: like seeing new talent or veteran talent that have never
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: had the chance to shine get that chance.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: I personally like to see Speedball take that title away
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: from Ricochet. That'd be a great match, and I think
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: Speedball could carry that title just as well as Ricochet
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: is well.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, I agree, go ahead, Chance.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, Kelson, you kind of said it though. Speedball
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: and Ricochet kind of fall into the same category because
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: they're around the same age. Yeah. I mean, I would
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: say that Speedball's close who was primed than Ricochet, But
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know, man. Uh, I'm kind of like I'm
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: kind of bored with Ricochet right now because it feels
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: like he's not wrestling the way that I grew up
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: seeing Ricochet wrestle, and it's like the the Gates of
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: Agony are getting the forefront over him. I feel like
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Ricochet is more of just like a distraction at the moment.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I kind of think that's on purpose, would
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: you agree, Shane, Where they want to make Gates of
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Agony relevant and Shane and Shane, Ricochet really doesn't need
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: that relevance as much. Because he's already got a belt
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: around his waist.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: And yeah, I see what you're saying. They looked great
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: in that was a three way four way last week.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Holy crap with the Bucks and the Rascals. That match
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: was incredible, but the Gates of Agony looked imposing. So yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, I could see I see your perspective. I
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: just I don't know, but in my opinion, I think
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Ricochet's better days are behind him. And hopefully he never
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: hears this, because I'm really not trying to get roast.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's gonna call you all kinds of names
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: on social media.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Get out of here, brot you're talking about. I love him,
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: I love his matches.
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: I just he has no shame in going after people online.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: I think it's the watch.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: The thing is with with Ricochet is that he can
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: defend himself online.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: He shouldn't have to, but he can defend himself.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: But by the same token that being said, there are
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: other wrestlers that, again they shouldn't have to defend themselves
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: from from the trolls. And that brings up what happened
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: to Harley Cameron last week getting runoff X And you
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: know what was said the Zeta Steele, which did not
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: work out for the idiot that said what he said,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: but it did make the news. I mean, are you
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: guys aware of what, first of all happened with Harley Cameron.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, And it's just it's frecking ridiculous, like blaming
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: her for the edge and all this stuff like each
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: fricking wrestling injuries happened. No, there was. She didn't make
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: it happen, He didn't intend for it to happen. It
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: was just a crazy accident that happened, and any person
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: blaming her or trying to talk crap about it to her,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: it's a frigging moron.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Well I have something to say about that, and I'm
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: gonna have I'm gonna take over this segment a little
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: bit for just a second. Indulge me Air gold on X.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, he used to be on this podcast for
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: a very brief time. Uh, he was a decent guy,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: and then he got addicted to being an asshole basically,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: and he says whatever he can to be an asshole.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: And I believe with Harley Cameron, he said something to
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: defect of Harley Cameron Effing's Well, look, here's the thing
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: when you say something like that, you have to back
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: it up. If you believe you could do better than
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Harley Cameron, honestly believe that you could do better than
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Harley Cameron, then maybe yeah, if you really have to,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: you could say, are Harley Cameron efing sucks? But if
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: you have no clue what these wrestlers and I have
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: no clue what these wrestlers go to go through day
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: to day, week to week, month to month, year to year,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, the pressure it's on them.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Shane. You kind of could talk.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: About this because you did a interview with doctor David Reese,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: who's the staff psychologist with the with AW, and you
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: know that there are things that are on there's pressure
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: that are on these wrestlers that we don't think about.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Man, and that interview was great. I'm going to comment
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: on air gold first to be more deliberate about what
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: he turned into. And you could come at me, dude,
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: We've talked a million times, your clout chaser. All you
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: care about is engagement. You stop caring about the game,
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: and if you really cared about professional wrestling, you would
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: have paid attention to what Harley Cameron was doing in
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: the first place. Harley Cameron is one of the few
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: women in the locker room that utilizes every second she's
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: on screen. She's quick on her feet. She's not the
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: best woman's wrestler they got. Come on, that's obvious. You
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: don't have to be to be fantastic. I mean everything
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: that she gets involved with turns to gold. I could
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: take it all the way back to her feud with
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: Mercedes Monet. She didn't have to win those matches, but
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: I got excited every time I seen her on screen
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: with that puppet. It was fun. This is our escape.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Why take it so seriously and why blast someone who
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: literally potentially could end their life just to entertain you?
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Not to mention that there's this space is still occupied
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: by misogynistic in cell basement neck beards that haven't seen
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: a woman off of a TV screen in most of
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: their lives. Man, get out of here, dude. These women
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: are amazing. These people don't know what they're talking about.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I still live in my mom's basement, so I
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: can't really speak about that, man.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Come on, you don't.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: But figuratively speaking, yeah, because you know, first of all, Shane,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: you hit it the nail right on the head. There
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: are so many did you see I can't remember what
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: was it Hog that JD from New York showed up
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: at and he just stepped in the ring and was like,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm glad to be back, and my god.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: He got booed lustfully is the best way I could
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: put it. And it wasn't booed in k fabe. It
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: was booed because I believe people just generally did not
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: want him on a show that they paid for.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: They shut the f up at him, like anytime he
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: even brought the mic near his mouth. It was freaking
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: beautiful and well earned. That dude deserves all the is
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: He's a racist, loud, he's anxious every stereotype about Newby
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Yorkers that exists. Hees.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: People still give a platform. Though. The guy clips everything
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: that happened at that Hog show. He pops it on
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: a YouTube short. He gets twelve mill million views, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: he gets a small paycheck and a gold plaque. But
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: I mean the problem is is we're still giving these
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: people opportunities to have platforms. What we need to stop
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: doing is booing these people and go radio silent at shows.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: They'll stop getting booked I've seen too.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, go ahead, Sorry, I was just reminded of something
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: like that. Tack was taken like way back in TNA,
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: when people were so disgusted with Jeff Jarrett that instead
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: of booing him, they would just get up and turn
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: their backs. We should do that to the sort of people.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: Amen.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know the thing about JD from
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: New York is that when Blue Sky first was getting popular,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: he joined Blue Sky. But Blue Sky's a little bit
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: different in Twitter. When you ban somebody on, when you
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: block somebody on Blue Sky, they're blocked. In other words,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Let's us say Shane quotes something on his page, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I follow Shane and he quotes something from that was
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: said by JD from New York or air Gold or wherever.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I've blocked these guys, I don't see them no matter
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: how many times you know, Shane quotes them. Unfortun only
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: on Twitter that doesn't happen. So guess who isn't on
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: on Blue Sky is JD from New York doesn't do
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: anything on Blue Sky very much, and neither does their
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: goal because he can't get the reaction because they're going
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: for their attention. Whose they just want attention and they'll
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: get that attention by any means necessary. Now, did you guys,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: are you familiar with what happened with.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: H with Zeta Steele? This just a couple of days ago.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I saw her reply, and funny enough, it was from
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: someone I have blocked on Twitter, but I still saw
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: the reply. I'm like, who is who is she talking to?
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: And it's like, Oh, it's this fricking moron. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: he deservest.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me give you. Let me give you.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: The rundown guy named John Joseph Alexander, who is apparently
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: a wrestling promoter, small all time wrestling promoter and has
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: a podcast and whatnot, just like everybody else that causes problem,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: says something about Zeta Steel to the effect of, she
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: went from working in front of three hundred people at
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the performance center to working in front of less than
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: one hundred people in a PBS studio, alluding to to
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the shows on Sunday that ring of honor? Did you
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: know at a very small public access studio.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: He went on to say, you know nothing.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: About stocks, nor popularity, nor effing math. Actually, wow, actually works, bitch,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Shut the f up. Zeta Steel made a fantastic response
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: and she said, I wrestled in front of three hundred
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: people at the performance center.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's news to me. Anyway.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I'm very happy where I'm at and I'm on my
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: own journey. I'm sorry you're not investing in my stocks,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: perfectly said. I posted this on the Women's Pro Wrestling
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: subreddit one of the one of the wrestlers there, What
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: a Wrestlers. One of the members there made a post saying,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I've never tuned in to watch a Josh Joseph Alexander match,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: That's all he said, and I shared it to Zaya Steele.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Joseph Alexander immediately changed his uh his settings to where
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: only people that he's replying to can reply back, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: he also and he also blocked the aw fan Hub
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: right away. I was just quoting something that somebody said
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: and I didn't think it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Was that bad, but he is.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: My point is is, oh, he can dish it out.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: He can dish it out. But something as simple as
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I've never tuned in to watch a Joseph Alexander match,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: he gets butt hurt about that. Grow some hairs on
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: your skinny little uni, what bitch? And the hell up?
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Man, most of these fools are just a bunch of
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: talking crack about people better than them doing what they
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: wish they could do.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Well. Everyone thinks everyone becomes a smart mark after It's
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: like you'll either die a hero or live or still
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: live long enough to see yourself become a villain, right like,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: especially a go ahead, no, no, no, especially for for
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: fans in this industry. Man, I've been on both sides
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: of that spectrum. At this point. It's hard to engage
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: because if you're so disposed, you're god like, you're always
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: like a hop, skip and a jump away from potentially
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: turning into a tribalist or an extremist. And that's okay, man,
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: if you're into what you're into, just don't project your
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: insecurity onto someone else for things that you do not understand.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: Shut your mouth online.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, jess.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just gonna say it seems like a people
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: will decide to just be a jerk, to put it mildly,
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: to get clicks, following the formula set by the biggest
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: jerk in the space, the corn who must not be named.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Who you're talking about because you didn't name him, I
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: have no idea.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: He's very forty.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: I can name a bigger jerk than that gentleman.
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: Oh please do, because that's.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: Spencer So opensbrus Vinsbrous opensbrus So he's a bootlegger. Get
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: out of here.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the name that immediately came into my mind.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: J W wants vincer.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: So you thought that I was thinking, Okay, here it comes.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Just gonna start with the name that begins with a
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: K and ends and an end and as an E
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: L s O in the middle of it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: Karon Bischoffs sucks too.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, Look, I'm not saying that you
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: don't share your opinions, you know what I mean. You
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: have an opinion, you can share it. You don't like something,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: you know, say it. I mean, there's nothing wrong with anybody,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: it's how you say it, you know. Also, you know
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I don't like certain talents on AW. That's well known
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: fact to anybody that's been on this podcast or listened
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: to this podcast.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: But I don't tear them to shreds.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: And when I do make fun of them, I try
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: to make it humorous.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Note.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: But my point is, My point is is that if
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: you're just doing this. Look, I moderate several wrestling subreddits
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: from AW to WWE to women's wrestling, which covers mostly Joshie,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: you know, and you have your trolls.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And if the thing about the trolls is that you
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: can look at their uh.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: You can look at their post history, and there's two
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: things that are very very they stand out. One is
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: that they're not just trolling yours, meaning your subreddit. They're
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: trolling everybody's subreddit, not just wrestling. But I think I
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: even made this analogy earlier. You can have a post
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: saying man saves drowning child and they'll have something to
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: say about that. Why Because they want attention. It's as
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: simple as that they want attention, and they they're going for,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: in a wrestling terms, cheapet.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: The sad thing is go ahead.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: The second thing is, and this is just something that
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I've noticed is that and I don't know why, but
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: when you have a troll on Reddit specifically, I do
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: not know why, but they always put either at the
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: beginning or at the end of whatever sentence that they
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: try to write, because they're usually awful spellers, and you
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: can you pretty much need, you know, an interpreter to
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: understand what the hell they're trying to say. In the
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: first place, but they either begin or ender sentence with
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: either L O L or L m AO. I do
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: not understand why, but it's like it's like, uh, you
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: know how hello, my name is Kelson badge.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: When you put L O L or l m.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Ao on on the end of beginning or end of
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: your of your comments, it's kind of like a you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: an introductory badge saying Hi, I'm a troll.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Ban me.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: They do it so that when people rightly call them
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: out for being idiots, they could do the it's just
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: a joke, bro lighten up bs to fit, even though
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: it's not a joke at all. And they're one series
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: because there's asshole.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: That they get butter because their post was removed by
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Reddit filters. Most of the time they get removed by
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Reddit filters, and uh, then they get butt hurt because
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: no nobody saw the post that they put such hard
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: work into.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, in the last couple
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: of months, I think Reddit has offered the option to
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: hide your post in comment histories, and a lot of
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: that kind of people like to do that so they
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: can't have their post histories look back on and be
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: called out for their bs.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Skateboard Sandwich made a really good post here, he said. Granted,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I criticized the way they debuted dad Housen in that
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: other place, but that didn't mean I hate the guy. Yeah,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, I criticized it too. I mean it
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: was a really bad debut. The fans obviously booed lustily
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: for it, and frankly, between the pl and raw last night,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: we've pretty much seen everything Dadhausen had to offer in AW.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you would agree with me or not,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: but that my feelings on that there's nothing else he
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: could do but rince repeat.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: I've long said Dan Housen is a great once a
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: month character. Ittick is fun, you know when you see
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: him at an indie show, you know, in February, but
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: you don't want to see him in the next week. Like,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: nothing against him at all. I hope he has also
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: success in the world. You know, maybe WW is the
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: place where he will thrive being a big character. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: don't know for me personally, though, I think he's one
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: of those who wears a little sin if you see
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: him too much.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: I guess I guess I'm the minority. I thought the
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: debut was I thought the debut was cute.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not the minority there. Listen, I've been boycotting
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: the FED since Janelle Grant, not that you know, we
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: want to talk about that here, but I think that
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: same if I think that I did see the dan
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: Housen debut, debut, and good for Donovan, Like, honestly, it's
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: a better that they weren't giving him these opportunities. In
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: aew he got mixed into the shuffle, you know, with
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: the conglaboration. The last big thing he did was evil
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: dan Housen. You don't have to like him, but the
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: FED has a history of being able to use dan
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Housen types effectively. Might I remind you that they were
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: able to keep belts on guys like gold Dust Valvenus
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: come on like he had like the Godfather, you know, Like,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: I know, I apologize it that that era is very crude,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: but I'm just you know, for lack of comparison.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: No, I understand what you're saying, but you also know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought it up. It was that era.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: We're not in that there anymore.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Well, can you fantasy book it? Like imagine he just
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: cursed Dominic mysterio. Right now, he's showing up like a
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: excuse me, like an easter egg everywhere. He doesn't have
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: to be on on screen at all times. He could
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: be in the crowd. He could be hiding in a locker,
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: you know, kind of akin to what they've done with
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Joe Joe Hendry. It's you know, you know.
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: If they can do something with Santino Morella and have
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: him have championship and have him last that long, then
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: I think I don't particularly like Dan Housen that much.
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: He's he's an acquired taste. But I but he's right.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: Wwe does have a history of taking characters that are
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: zany and working with him, so I think he'll work
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: out and maybe he'll do better. He has. He has
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: this boy Pepsi Phil there, and I think you know
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: some others who like him. There's stories about backlash against him,
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: but I think along the timeline that fans are gonna
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: get into him more and more and he'll pop up
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: at every show. There's talk of him popping up in
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: Triple A in other places to just do in his right.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of people say actually that that
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: is best place for him would be in A partnered
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: with mister Iguana.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: No, make his first feud be against Kit like that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: It's perfect. They completely understand. Huh the car no, no, no, no,
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: not negative? Ghostwriter? No? Was it Kid? I don't know
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: his last name, will Kid will Sin?
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: Can you imagine?
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Can you imagine those two together. I only know
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: the dude because of his theme song, and what happened
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: to his partner is absolutely tragic. No one should get hurt.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: It sucks. But I mean, yeah, I think that makes
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: a lot of sense. It'd be a good way to
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: start see what POW fans would receive him to.
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: In my opinion, I think that'd be a neat little match.
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: Not to start well well, I mean.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: He Theanhausen and then Dom didnety lose the whatever title
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: he had to Pinta. Yeah, I feel like that's what
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I saw.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: Whether can you imagine that more bad things start happening
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: to Dom and you know why, it's because he got cursed.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, maybe they make the curse actually mean something instead
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: of you know, just.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: I mean in a w was pretty much you're ed,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: and then relatively soon after they got punched in the deck.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Right, speaking about getting punched in the Dick.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I want to move on to the war Dogs, who
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: are known for punching and kicking other people in the Dick.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest here.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: You know, they are not signed, at least it's not
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: been made official. They are not signed, meaning Gabe Kid
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: and Clark Connor's to a W. I do believe that
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Clark Connors. I think Feifel did say that he was signed,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: but nothing has come of it. But they are wrestling
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: tomorrow night, as are the Inspirations. So I'm looking for
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: maybe Clark Connors and Jesse McKay and Cassie Lee to
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: be announced as I'll leap, maybe.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: By the end of the show tomorrow night. You never know.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: But anyway, the war Dogs are or have been in
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: a W for quite a while. They've made several appearances
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: in the last what month or two now, and they're
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: kind of, lack of better words, becoming staples in AW.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: And when you look at Bullet Club as a whole,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: you know who else returned to action this week already?
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Do you know?
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Juice Robinson wrestled on Sunday? So Juice Robinson his back
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: and he was with I can't ever remember which of
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: the gun Guns is not Austin, So yeah, he was
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: with Austin Gunn and they had a match at the
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: There were thirty matches at the public access thirty matches
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: and they're going back in three weeks. But the war
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Dogs tomorrow night face Orange Cassidy and Darby Allen.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I think that what do you guys think?
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, is this something that you want to see
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors And do you want to say,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: do you want to see Bullet Club doesn't necessarily have
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: to be war Dogs, but do you want to see
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Bull Club reform with these guys.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a big fan of both Clark Connors
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: and Dave Kid. They've been New Japan staples for the
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: last few years. I mean, Clark Connors is a former
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: junior heavy way tag campion, always great, best to the
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: super junior game.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Kid Is.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: He says he's a madman, you know, like I mean,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: and he is. He is. He is nuts, he is brutal,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: He is a brawling bastard and I love his style.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: It would be interesting to see if we got, you know,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: maybe Juice going back with his old buddies, because that
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Bullet Club Gold thing was that was Jay White, and
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: though the war Dogs they don't like j White, I
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: mean Finley kicked his ass out of Bullet Club.
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so like.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: They're not gonna be cool with the Bang Bang Game,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: but they might be okay with Juke Robinson because he
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: was there for a little bit with.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: Hi, your local Bullet Club historian here. So there is
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: an open door for like a Gigantic Bullet Club reunion
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: or at least a feud that includes tons of people
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: that were in the Bullet Club from New Japan. I mean,
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: like we already have Kenny the Bucks Hangman in a page.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: We have both of the guns, Jay White and Juice,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: I mean technically Tekla as well, you know, technically, I
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: mean there's an opera like Tony Kahan has this thing
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: about a nostalgia dropping nostalgia bombs I believe as a
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: gigantic Bullet Club mark that you know, it's cool to
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: see the war Dogs over, But like, do they have
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: permissions from Japan to use the Moniker? We don't know,
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: like it, what's the j White shoulders still messed up
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: up and he's still rehabbing it for as far as
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: we know, you know, so I don't know I think
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: they're getting fed to Darbi and o scene. If they're not,
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: you know, how receptive are they going to the fans
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: going to be to him if they don't do something
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: more than just win the match?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: No, I agree with you.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Look, I am not an officionado a Bullet Club by
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: any means other than Bullet Club Gold, you know, because
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: I really did not pay attention to do Japan, so
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I really can't speak on it. But I do know
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: of the Bullet Club war Dogs, so that has to
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: be something that they were relevant.
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: I just think that they need one more member stay away. Actually,
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: they're both growing on me. Gabe Kid. I didn't like
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: it first when he was with death Ritis, but I
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: kind of like him with Clark Connors. He's coming off better.
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: So I think they need one more person. Maybe steal
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: someone from Bullet Club Gold. I don't know. I'm not
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: big on book called Gold anymo. Because they can't stay
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: fresh and they can't stay healthy together. So right, I say,
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: merge these guys and stop counting on j White or
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: one of the others to stop getting hurt and just
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: merge them.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I think the thing with Jay White and I don't know, obviously,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not an expert on this, but it just seems
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: to me that when j White battles to his injuries,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: he comes back before he's ready. I think they need
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: to give him the time to actually get healthy, because
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: for some reason when he.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Came back, he just didn't look right. You know, does
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: that make sense?
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: He was he was limping when he was doing moves
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. He you know, I think they
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: need to let him, let him convalesce.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: It's interesting with the war Dogs. Their is pretty simple,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: bring gold, bring bodies. So if you're gonna have someone
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: else joining them, it's got to be someone who can
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: do that. It's got to be someone who is either
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: insanely talented or insanely vicious.
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: Ideally both Takesha leaves the don Khalis family. The dissonance
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: is already there.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Mmmm. Interesting and I can't say anything wrong with it.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's fit, but I think people are too ready
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: to sheer for taqushka good. You don't want to move
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: him from one heel group to another.
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, unless he plans on usurping leadership for all
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: of it, completely aggressive takeover, then he's the yakuza boss
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: running one of the most significant culturally impactful professional wrestling
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: factions outside of you know WWE and the history professional wrestling.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: They're comparable to the nWo. There's no denying that.
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he deserves to be.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Bullet Club is no more not an n j p W. Well,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: and they owned that trademark, so they would have to
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: get for mission to use it. And I don't think
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: that's something new Japan is any different.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I may be wrong, but didn't either. I can't remember
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: it was Gabe Kid or Clark Connors. But didn't they
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: refer to war Dogs during the last show in the promo.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, as the Bull Club war Dogs.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there you go and it And it's not
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: that the Bullet Club doesn't exist.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: The House of Torture still exists. They touched the Bullet Club.
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: It's that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I got I gotta correct you. There also Torture
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: and Bullet Clubs a little while ago. They like, so
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: they should know you're right.
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: However, they but Bolk Club has had sub factions before.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: Remember the Ogs. Remember when Tomatonga and tom aloa Tonga
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: Loa broke off. I mean, it happens, it's part of
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: the whole.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: The stipulation with their few was if House of Torture lost,
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: they could no longer use the Bullet Club name in
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: any way, shape or form.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: And there hasn't been Like I know, I know, in
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: story it's are they done or or not? But Finley
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: comes out and says that they're done. But there are
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: still people within the club that are wanting to work
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: with the club. It's not like they couldn't place another
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: person there to pick up the slack. That's kind of
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: what's happened every time it's transitioned in leadership. God, I
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: wish it was Aj there. I'll say it for everyone else.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you know the other thing about Bulk Club, if
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: that they do reform, is that they're going to need
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: a woman in the group because other than the don
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: callis Family, every other group has a woman in it.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: It seems like so we've had that discussion before. But
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I do want to move on because I think we're
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: gonna have quite a lengthy it's a cafabe this week.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: But before we get to it's a CAA, I do
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: want to bring up one thing. Pro Wrestling Eve is
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: doing two shows this week, one on Friday and one
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: on Sunday. Now the Sunday show is their big show.

• 43:44
  Speaker 3: of this show, and he has been heavily promoting this show.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: And it's relevant to this podcast because if you go
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: when you look at the cards for these two shows,
• 43:54

• 44:37
  Speaker 4: of what I already had.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Anybody else has anybody else here ever seen a pro

• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've birtht a lot of talent that's in AW
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, and some of them like Anita Vaughn,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Sapphire Reid, they're really good and they're not ReHO, not
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: ReHO from aw but ReHO is they're talking about her

  Speaker 3: In order to watch these pay per views, you do
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: have to be a member at the Championship tier level
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: to watch these shows. It's nine to ninety nine a month.

• 46:23
  Speaker 3: back catalog and their their stuff is so fun. It's
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: it can be a little weird, but it's pro wrestling, so.
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: Is Dakota Kai headlining that show? Do you know? Off
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: the top of your head, I know they have.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Like Russell Quingdom mate, uh Statlander is there is the
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Pro Wrestling EVE International Champion.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they call it intercontinental, but I
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: think I'm right it's international.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: She is she is being she is defending that against
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Charlie Who is Dakota Sky. Yeah, yeah, the Dakota Kai,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: not the s. Dakota's guye Shee's. Yeah.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Harley Cameron has taken on a mir Blair. That's gonna
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: be insane, those two women together. I can't even imagine. Well,
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: Nightingale is on the card.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: Harley Cameron, I believe is on the card.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Harley Cameron has taken on a Mirror Blair. As
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: I just said, Jamie Hayter is on the card. Now,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Jamie Hayter is in a what is it? A is
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: it a twelve or sixteen woman match? And they've only
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: released half of the women's name, so there's at least
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: six women that we don't even know the identities of yet,
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: So it could very well be more women from AW
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: on the card. I mean, if you think about it,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: since September, you've had Julia Hartsky, Blue Willow Nightingale. I
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: believe Rijo is on there, christ at Lander, of course.
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: I mean you've had a wealth of Billy Starks, Alex Winsor.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Billy Starks, Alex, Alex Winder Windsor is on the card.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean you've had all these a W
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: women that have already performed on just the regular Eve
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: shows and have done well, and the reception for them
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: is done really has been big. Hey and when you
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: look at it, when you're you know, AW is going
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: to be at England for all in Wembley, So it
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: makes sense to give the women something like this, you know,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: to get them out there, get their names out there,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: and and that's it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's it is.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: It's a fantastic price, as skateboard sandwiches, a fantastic price
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: for an event like this, well events like this.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: It's it really is.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: Nine ninety nine alone for Russell Queen to Mate is
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: a steal. But let's move on to our final segment,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: and I think this is gonna we have a lot
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: to talk about in O'Shane has something to talk about,
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: but we're gonna go to it's a cafabe. Now every
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: week I come up with a new graphic. Last week
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: I wanted to do something cute because I have been
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: doing disturbing graphics and the cute Bill.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: The cute graphic I.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Came up with was baby Big Bill as Baby Bill
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: at a blue bonnet and you know pacifier, you know,
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: and got a little feedback saying that it was a
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: little disturbing, so I wanted to go with something that
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: that is less shock value and more.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Along the lines of, hey, you know what, Kelson, that
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: one actually makes sense. I wanted to make sense and
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: not be funny. So excuse me for being serious this week.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: But here's the graphic.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Virtuosa as a Virtuosa with Alton.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Say, let's lose your virginity and it's a cafabe and
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: let's hear what you have to say.
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: I couldn't have unmuted my my quicker.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: I just want to talk about Darby Allen's Uber driver. Man,
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: I I span down that whole in that listen, I
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: get let's touch on men's mental health really quick, because
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: clearly that dude did not have it all together. But
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, just I gotta give it to Darby, I've
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: never been known.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Sh let me shame, let me let me stop you there,
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: because there maybe people here that do not know what happened,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: So could you give a brief rundown.
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: So, Darby Allen was contributing to a well known professional
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: wrestling podcast in the back of an uber and the
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: uber driver was a very irate, overworked, middle aged man
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: and did not understand what was going on. He first
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: accused Darby of doing something outside of podcasting, and Darby
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: was just being cool man, like, hey, listen, I'm on
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: a podcast right now, and then they it escalated so fast, like,
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: hey man, I'm on a podcast with a thousand, one
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: hundred thousand people watching, and the dude starting started screeching
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: at the top of his lungs. Get out of my
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: car and get out of my car, and get out
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: of my car. I'm canceling your ride. And then they
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: dumped him on the side of the highway.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: Geez, I didn't know. I didn't know what happened, So
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: I honestly did not start. I'm enjoying this, especially watch
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: the video.
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: I would just you know, like again, my you see,
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: I was not like a Darby guy in the beginning.
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: And I'm a Derby guy now, but Darby is a person,
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: you know. I'll give it his give him his Dan court.
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: He handled it very well. I would have been a
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: drama queen back there, dropping f bombs and getting demonetized
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: on YouTube, and there Derby was just like, hey man,
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: it's cool. I'm not trying to upset you, but I
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: can't get off the podcast right now. Get out of
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: my car. Get out of my car. It was very entertaining.
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: Go watch it on YouTube. It's really easy to find.
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: What is it with people throwing Derby out of cars
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: in the middle of nowhere.
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: No, he's usually getting he's usually actually getting hit by
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: the car or.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Dragged behind it truth or throwing himself out of one.
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Derby left cars and car crashes and yeah.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, Now I'm gonna have to go and
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: watch it because I have.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: With all the idiocy that had happened last week, I
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: was like, I can't take anything else like this, so
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I purposely didn't watch it. But I think it's calmed
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: down enough to where I can actually go and watch it.
• 52:53

• 53:32
  Speaker 7: I saw his entrance He's an Elimination Chamber debut entrance
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: thing on YouTube. I thought it was really cute, actually
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: doubly so when turns out one of the girl houses
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: was his wife. Like aw, but I actually heard that
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: some of the people who are in attendance who were
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: asked about it and said, like, they didn't boo because
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: they didn't like Dan Housen. They booed because he didn't
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: do anything but an entrance. They you know, it's Dan
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: house and you want to see him do something funny
• 54:05
  Speaker 7: and he didn't. He just did an entrance.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: We did give Michael Cole a char teeth. I mean,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: I mean that's high comedy right there.
• 54:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's entertainment.
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: No, I think they wanted to see him like.
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: Sorry, I just I thought, and yeah, I liked it.
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: I liked Dan Housen in small doses. That's that was
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: my deal with him. And well, I hope he has
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: all the success in the world. I thought the entrance
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: was fine.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the booming because he didn't do anything kind
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: of makes sense.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I mean from the beginning to the end, it was
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: like two minutes and twenty seconds. That was all the
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: time he got.
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: He did probably have a little bit more time to
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: do something else. I mean he had would you call
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: that a musical number?
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: It was theater, that's for sure.
• 54:59
  Speaker 8: Why wait his entrance on a pay per review as
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: owners and why not? Why not do.
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: Then?
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: Yet I don't know vignettes and you're missmaving that word.
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: Why why not do more videos with him instead an
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: introduce him that way and find out who Dan Housen
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: is instead of just this is guys, that's Dan House.
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: You know, people complain about AW and say that they
• 55:24
  Speaker 8: don't introduce our paper properly. Well, I kind of feel
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: that's what happened with uh.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: I agree with the MK.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: The other thing about that, I think it was Brian
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Albarez who did a video short. I was watching it
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: just like, look, you said, all the girl Housen's, as
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Jess calls them, were bigger than Dan Housen. You know,
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: the announcers are bigger than Dan Housen. Everybody in the
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: crowd was bigger than dead Dan House. It's a tiny
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: guy and he didn't do anything, and you know the
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: crowd booed lustfully. Uh I I do think with Dan
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: Housen is that he doesn't need to necessarily be in
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: front of a live crowd as much as doing backstage stuff.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Like he did with Pierce on on Raw. I thought
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: that was good, I really did. I thought it was good.
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: I thought it was funny too, just like calling like
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: Pierce like stone Cold in disguise. I cracked up.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, does anybody else have a It's.
• 56:27
  Speaker 8: I have one. To piggyback off of that a little bit.
• 56:30
  Speaker 8: I would like to start the search for Royce Keys.
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: Where is he? Why did they keep on taking not
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: putting him on air? And what was the purpose of
• 56:41
  Speaker 8: him going over? If you're going to keep on doing this,
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: would he have been better staying in? I don't know anymore.
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: I don't understand why they do this to people.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Oh no, you didn't know.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: It's weird because and I'm sorry, shape let me break
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: in here, because there was a stuff going around on
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: Twitter or ex if you want to call it where
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: you know, I've seen some memes and stuff saying, you know,
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: WWE says they have absolutely no creative plans for.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Royce Keys. Well that's not what they said.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: Russell Votes was the one that did the original interview
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: or fact finding mission whatever, and when they were asked
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: in like a Q and A or whatever, have.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: You heard what's going on with Royce Keys? What's this creative?
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: And the Wressell Votes said We've heard absolutely nothing as
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: of yet, and people got that said to mean that
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: WWE has absolutely no creative plans for Royce Keys. Again,
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: this is like we had a problem with this with aggregation.
• 57:49
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: I talked to Sean ross app very briefly.
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: Through texts last week because of some confusion about something
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: that he said, and his quote was like I don't know,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: and people left that out and they yes, and he said,
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: don't aggrevate me because I don't know, basically is what
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: he said, and people still quoted him incorrectly. So, but yeah,
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: I mean back to your point, I'm kay. Yeah, they
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: got roys Keys and I guess he's in catering.
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: No man, they're they're getting him ready to be in
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: a faction with Alistair Alistair Black and the Ghost of Andrade,
• 58:31
  Speaker 6: the Ghost of and Ricky Starks is going to be
• 58:35
  Speaker 6: the leader, you know.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: How about how about Ricky Starks.
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: He's going by Ricky Saints now, and even I've heard
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: w W podcasts and everything like that, people w W
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: fans they all call him Ricky Starks. I don't even
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: know why they even bothered with the Ricky Saints name anymore, because.
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: I guess we're talking a W superstars. How about good
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: old Ray Phoenix, poor guys, his brother gets a title
• 59:08
  Speaker 8: and he's stuck doing I don't know what, but.
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: I believe they call what he has been doing sitting
• 59:15
  Speaker 6: and catering or jobbing.
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: And it's a shame because when it comes to Phoenix
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: and Penta, in my personal opinion, and this is not
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: a slight toward pent at all, because I think he's fantastic,
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: but I just think Phoenix has the bigger upside. I
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: think the Phoenix is a better wrestler, and I do
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: think that well. Of course he is younger, so he's
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: got longevity on his side as well.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: If I were to pick one to push, I would
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: pick Phoenix over Pana. But of course Phoenix did have
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: the injuries, and maybe w w E is keep him
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: keeping him out of the scene, I guess is the
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: best way to put it, simply so that he can convalesce.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you just I don't know, Jess. You
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: said you add another cafabe Uh yeah.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: This is just sort of circling back just to something
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 7: from the discussion on New Blood that I didn't get
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 7: a chance to say before the topic switched, so I'm sticking.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: It in here.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: This is sort of out of left field. But you
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 7: know who i'd like to see more of, and maybe
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 7: they're on Ring of Honor. I don't watch Ring of
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 7: Honor as much as i'd like. But give me more swirl, uh,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: I love the swirl. I like Blake Christian in particular.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 7: Every time I see him, I really enjoy his work,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: but I don't get to see him very often. Give
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: me more vanilla baby.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Blake Christian is going to be thrilled because he's finally
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: found his fan.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: Is jay Le's still with him or what's going on
• 1:00:48

  Speaker 2: By the way, are the Bucks now calling calling it
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: the EVP trigger again?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: I think they're calling it the BTV trigger again?
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, Because I meant that, I meant to uh pay
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: attention to that over the last week, and uh, and
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: I I forgot to to be honest with you.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because they're doing against I think I've gone back to.

  Speaker 3: to say because as everybody knows, there is not a
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: bigger Britt Baker fan in the entire a W fanob fandom.

• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: Well you know aside, you know that Eddie Kingston has
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: been reportedly suffering from migraines and that's why he has
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: not been around for a couple of weeks, and in
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: all seriousness, you know, whether you like a wrestler, you
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: don't like a wrestler, you don't like to see any
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: wrestler ill. And that's especially true for somebody like Rebel
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: uh not Riba. I mean, that poor woman is going
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: through it, and I'm watching and commenting on her live streams,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: and she doesn't strike me as somebody that wants pity,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: but she does want prayers, and Rebel, You've got our prayers.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: Whether you come back to aw in some capacity or
• 1:05:42
