- 0:22Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for
- 0:25Speaker 2: Ignition with the AAW fan Hut podcast team. This is
- 0:29Speaker 2: Kelson and we are broadcasting to you live tonight, as
- 0:33Speaker 2: we do every Tuesday night at eight forty five pm
- 0:35Speaker 2: Eastern on x and Twitch Night. We are less than
- 0:39Speaker 2: twenty four hours away from the aw Fright Night Dynamite.
- 0:44Speaker 2: We have three big matches with title implications. We have
- 0:47Speaker 2: a four way match to determine who will face hang
- 0:51Speaker 2: Man Adam Page at full gear for the aw Men's
- 0:53Speaker 2: World Championship, and also a four way match to determine
- 0:57Speaker 2: who will face Brodido at full gear for the AEW
- 1:01Speaker 2: Ben's World Tag Team Championship. But first we have the
- 1:04Speaker 2: opening match in the Women's World Tag Team Tournament, featuring
- 1:09Speaker 2: the Sisters of Sin taking on Jamie Hayter and Queen Amanada. Guys,
- 1:14Speaker 2: let's talk about this match, not only about this match,
- 1:17Speaker 2: but also about like the entire bracket and what we expected.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I know, net you would point it out like Billy
- 1:26Speaker 2: Starks as being missing from this. So let's talk about
- 1:32Speaker 2: the AEW Women's World Tag team Tournament Net. Who did
- 1:37Speaker 2: you say was missing?
- 1:40Speaker 3: Billy Starks is missing, and I feel like she should
- 1:44Speaker 3: be in there.
- 1:46Speaker 4: I don't know who she can partner with because Nathena
- 1:48Speaker 4: is busy doing her own thing, but I really feel
- 1:52Speaker 4: like Billy should have gotten a chance to go for
- 1:55Speaker 4: this championship. I was watching her this weekend and.
- 2:01Speaker 3: It escapes me. But she won two titles this weekend
- 2:07Speaker 3: at the g c W.
- 2:08Speaker 4: J c W uh matches they had on and I
- 2:14Speaker 4: like her overall ever since she debuted in a W.
- 2:17Speaker 4: I've seen her before on the indies, and I just
- 2:20Speaker 4: feel like she deserves a shot like everybody else.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Well, you know, the title that she did win was
- 2:26Speaker 2: the j c W World Championship, not the women's. She'd
- 2:31Speaker 2: beat Charles. She beat Charles Mason to become the j
- 2:35Speaker 2: c W World Champion.
- 2:37Speaker 4: Awesome and yeah, and she won that, like that legacy championship.
- 2:44Speaker 2: But I've better, Butcher, it's a Luna. How do you
- 2:47Speaker 2: pronounce her last name? I always, yeah, Ludavia, Luda. I
- 2:53Speaker 2: don't know, it's I'm sorry, I mean the idiot. That
- 2:59Speaker 2: is just one of the names that I always trip over.
- 3:01Speaker 5: We always I don't know why when she used to
- 3:04Speaker 5: wrestle back in the day, we used to call her
- 3:05Speaker 5: Vacon or something like that, because you could you never
- 3:08Speaker 5: knew every one of the announcers wouldn't pronounce it differently.
- 3:12Speaker 5: But I think it's Sean is the way they actually
- 3:15Speaker 5: say it.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Okay, well let's get back, I mean, okay, so Billy Starks,
- 3:20Speaker 2: is there anybody else that do you think maybe missing
- 3:26Speaker 2: from the tournament? From the from the women's tag team tournament?
- 3:30Speaker 6: Red Velvet didn't she just come back?
- 3:33Speaker 2: She did just come back, Okay, I mean yeah, Red
- 3:38Speaker 2: Velvets is another name.
- 3:40Speaker 5: I honestly don't think there's anyone missing from the tournament.
- 3:43Speaker 5: Because it's such a small number of teams. You put
- 3:48Speaker 5: the only teams you really had a room for in
- 3:51Speaker 5: the tournament. I mean, you know, you can talk about
- 3:54Speaker 5: Billy Starks should have been in there, Red Velvet should
- 3:56Speaker 5: have been in there. The problem with Very Velvet being
- 3:58Speaker 5: in there is she just came back and they weren't
- 4:01Speaker 5: sure she was going to be back in time for
- 4:02Speaker 5: it anyway, So instead of making room for her and
- 4:06Speaker 5: then having something keep her from coming back, they put
- 4:10Speaker 5: the best eight teams they could put in it. That's
- 4:12Speaker 5: just how I see it.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think the eight teams that they
- 4:15Speaker 2: have in it are edit for a purpose, for a reason,
- 4:20Speaker 2: and we're going to talk about that, but first I
- 4:22Speaker 2: want to get everybody's impression about the opening match. Julia
- 4:26Speaker 2: Hart and Sky Blue the Sisters of Sin against Jamie
- 4:30Speaker 2: Hayter and Queen Amanada. Who do you have winning this match?
- 4:34Speaker 6: I'm gonna say it's a tough call, but I would
- 4:38Speaker 6: probably go with the Sisters of Sin if worst comes
- 4:42Speaker 6: to worst. There's nothing saying Bechela can't run in and
- 4:45Speaker 6: help them, help them win, you know, their heels, they
- 4:47Speaker 6: might as well cheat.
- 4:48Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it'll go a long way to whoever
- 4:51Speaker 5: wins this match will lose the match the bloods and Guts, Matt,
- 5:01Speaker 5: Is that what it is?
- 5:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're okay, we're talking about the tournament.
- 5:07Speaker 5: I know. But since these two are the teams that
- 5:10Speaker 5: the arrivals that are going to be in the Blood
- 5:13Speaker 5: and Guts match, I think whoever wins this match will
- 5:16Speaker 5: lose that match when it comes down the road. You know,
- 5:19Speaker 5: I would love to see the Sisters of Sain win it,
- 5:22Speaker 5: but I don't think they're gonna do that I think
- 5:25Speaker 5: it's gonna be Queen Almanada and uh yeah, I think
- 5:28Speaker 5: that's who's gonna win Asho.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Else time, let's go to you. Who do you think
- 5:32Speaker 2: is going to win this match?
- 5:34Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Jamie Hayter and Queen Almanada for
- 5:39Speaker 7: the simple reason that I think uh Athena and Mercedes
- 5:45Speaker 7: will win their match, and that's who the next matchup
- 5:48Speaker 7: would be, So you won't you know, face for a steel,
- 5:53Speaker 7: So I'm gonna go with them.
- 5:55Speaker 2: All right, Matt, let's hear from you.
- 5:56Speaker 3: I think Hater and Queen Almanada will win. I don't
- 6:02Speaker 3: I agree with the Heel versus Heel probably isn't gonna
- 6:07Speaker 3: gonna happen.
- 6:08Speaker 4: And I don't know if I've kept this secret or not,
- 6:12Speaker 4: but I don't like the Sisters of Sin, so.
- 6:16Speaker 3: I don't want to see them win.
- 6:18Speaker 2: You're not supposed to like them.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Well good, because I I didn't like them separately, I
- 6:24Speaker 4: don't like them together. So they just they don't get no,
- 6:30Speaker 4: they don't get.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Over on me.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Okay, well, Marcus, let's go to you.
- 6:35Speaker 8: I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna pick Sisters of Sin.
- 6:40Speaker 9: After coming after that, I just think that they're gonna
- 6:45Speaker 9: want to give someone kind of I don't want to
- 6:49Speaker 9: say an upset win, but a win that you may
- 6:51Speaker 9: not see coming. And I like Jamie Hayter and Queen Almanada,
- 6:57Speaker 9: but I think they'll have some miscommunication in this match that'll.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Give you know, I kind of want to address something
- 7:04Speaker 2: that Sutton said. Something you said that the winner this
- 7:07Speaker 2: match is going to lose blood and guts. I have
- 7:09Speaker 2: a different take on that. If you remember, Jmi Hayter
- 7:15Speaker 2: and Queen Amanada won the four Way last week and
- 7:20Speaker 2: they selected the Sisters of Sinister opponents. I believe by
- 7:25Speaker 2: winning the four Way, Queene Amanada and Jamie Hater are
- 7:29Speaker 2: destined to lose against Sisters of Sin. That's just the
- 7:33Speaker 2: way the things work in AW. So I'm going with
- 7:39Speaker 2: the Sisters of Sin. And this, by the way, did
- 7:42Speaker 2: any of you happen to watch the CMLL CMLLL When
- 7:49Speaker 2: I tried to say that best I trip over my
- 7:51Speaker 2: tongue so badly the CMLL Women's Grand Prix from what
- 7:58Speaker 2: was it Friday night or Saturday night? Did anybody see that?
- 8:02Speaker 2: I'm sorry? Okay, we speak English. We speak English. Year,
- 8:09Speaker 2: thank you. Let's not. Let's not let's not be let's
- 8:12Speaker 2: not be racist. Now, come on, I busted your chops.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Come on.
- 8:23Speaker 7: But yes, I did watch the Women's Grand Free It was.
- 8:28Speaker 2: It was a great though. That match was that mat yeah,
- 8:32Speaker 2: I mean, for those of you who did not see it,
- 8:35Speaker 2: the match was nine women from cml L against nine
- 8:41Speaker 2: women from Team World. And on Team World were all
- 8:47Speaker 2: of the Triangle of Madness and all let's see, we
- 8:53Speaker 2: had Hazukima from from uh Stardom, we had from TJPWMLW.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Mina Shi Kawo was also there as well as Diamante
- 9:08Speaker 2: representing roh Kanji just a lot and the Triangle Madness
- 9:16Speaker 2: on the on the Team worldside dominated, they absolutely dominated.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Tecla actually ended up in the final two against Persepite
- 9:31Speaker 2: Techla eventually lost, which makes sense. But you know, Skyblue
- 9:38Speaker 2: did really well. Julia Hart, I mean, Julia Hart was
- 9:43Speaker 2: a wrecking ball that match. She was the only person
- 9:46Speaker 2: in the match that required double teams to take her down.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Everybody else was. It was a very clean match that
- 9:53Speaker 2: lasted fifty six plus minutes. But Julia Hart got she
- 10:00Speaker 2: was on fire. She was in her element. That was
- 10:02Speaker 2: her type of match. Sky Blue got a couple of
- 10:06Speaker 2: big eliminations herself. It was just a really cool match.
- 10:11Speaker 2: I hope that they make it available for viewing down
- 10:14Speaker 2: the line because it is such a cool concept. Would
- 10:18Speaker 2: you agree time that the concept of that match is
- 10:21Speaker 2: really cool?
- 10:22Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I really, It's like a It's like a
- 10:26Speaker 7: weird Survivor Series Lucia Leebray match, just even bigger and
- 10:32Speaker 7: phrase eager.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Yeah. I loved every second. I just loved it. Anyway,
- 10:38Speaker 2: I think that took place on Saturday night. I'm not sure,
- 10:41Speaker 2: but anyway, the next Triangle Madness as a team wrestled
- 10:47Speaker 2: in CMLL and and one. You know, So my point
- 10:53Speaker 2: here is is that Triangle Madness is kind of on
- 10:57Speaker 2: a roll right now, and I really don't think that
- 11:00Speaker 2: Sky and Julie are gonna lose on fright night Dynamite.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Now beyond that, I mean, we've got other teams of
- 11:08Speaker 2: course in this tournament. Who do you guys see being
- 11:12Speaker 2: in the finals and ultimately the winner of the inaugural
- 11:18Speaker 2: Women's Tag Team Tournament and become the aw Women's World
- 11:24Speaker 2: Tag Team Champions.
- 11:26Speaker 6: I said it last week and I am sticking with it.
- 11:30Speaker 6: Those two lovely ladies you see on the graphic there,
- 11:33Speaker 6: Tony Storm and Nina Shirakawa. I think they're going to
- 11:37Speaker 6: take it all.
- 11:37Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's go to Marcus. Marcus, who do
- 11:40Speaker 2: you think is going to win this?
- 11:42Speaker 8: I've been going back and forth with this.
- 11:44Speaker 9: I went through a couple of different names, and it's
- 11:46Speaker 9: a couple of teams that I like. But I'm going
- 11:49Speaker 9: to say that Megan Bain and Penelope Florida.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Interesting, Sutton, Let's go to you, buddy.
- 11:56Speaker 5: I think the finals are going to be Mina and
- 12:00Speaker 5: Storm versus unfortunately Monette and Company. And I think I'm
- 12:07Speaker 5: hoping that Tony and them win.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Okay, who else hasn't gone yet? Anybody I haven't? Okay, Nett,
- 12:15Speaker 2: what are your thoughts?
- 12:16Speaker 4: I agree with Marcus. I think Megan Bain and Penelope Ford.
- 12:20Speaker 4: I think it's on them. Don't underestimate them.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you could. I don't think that
- 12:28Speaker 2: there is a clear they're not gonna win in this
- 12:32Speaker 2: tournament other than Alex winsor Riho they have. They just
- 12:36Speaker 2: seem like they were just plugged in. I'm sorry, but
- 12:39Speaker 2: that's what it seems like to me. But when you
- 12:41Speaker 2: look at it, they have not been shown on camera
- 12:45Speaker 2: together while every other team has been You know what
- 12:49Speaker 2: I mean. I mean the weeks leading up to this tournament,
- 12:54Speaker 2: Alex winsor in Reo just don't make any sense. But
- 12:57Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something here I do not believe. I
- 13:02Speaker 2: mean the common consensus and dread I think is that
- 13:08Speaker 2: it's going to be Mercedes Mone and Athena on one
- 13:11Speaker 2: side of the bracket against Tony Storm, Mina Shi Kaal
- 13:15Speaker 2: on the other side of the bracket. I'm gonna make
- 13:18Speaker 2: two predictions here. One of those teams is gonna fall,
- 13:21Speaker 2: probably Mercedes Mone and Athena, because I don't think that
- 13:24Speaker 2: they can work together as a team. I think they're
- 13:27Speaker 2: gonna set up something down the road against each other
- 13:35Speaker 2: instead of winning a championship together. The other prediction I'm
- 13:41Speaker 2: gonna make is I do think that Tony Storm and
- 13:45Speaker 2: Mina Shire cower to get to the finals and they
- 13:47Speaker 2: are not going to win. I personally think, I personally
- 13:53Speaker 2: think that the winner tomorrow Night's matchup Right Night Dynamite
- 13:57Speaker 2: between Julia Harten's Blue and Jamie Hater and Queen Amanada
- 14:03Speaker 2: are going to be your inaugural women's tag team champions
- 14:10Speaker 2: and here's the reason why this tournament is not like
- 14:13Speaker 2: the owen Hart or to SEE two. It's not an
- 14:17Speaker 2: end all to be all. You know, it's not okay,
- 14:20Speaker 2: we're the champion and that's that. Of course the C
- 14:23Speaker 2: two isn't like that, But the owen Hart is. This
- 14:27Speaker 2: is a belt. This is a title that needs to
- 14:29Speaker 2: be defended. And when you look at it, why would
- 14:35Speaker 2: you put arguably your best team as champions, put a
- 14:43Speaker 2: surprise team as champions and then work up from there
- 14:49Speaker 2: instead of putting your best team as champions and working down.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
- 14:54Speaker 5: I get what you're saying, but the problem I have
- 14:56Speaker 5: with that is it sounds good, but that's not normally
- 15:02Speaker 5: how they do it. They usually will want, like when
- 15:05Speaker 5: you have a tournament to win it a first time belt,
- 15:08Speaker 5: almost always it's the best team that wins it because
- 15:13Speaker 5: you want to reps. You want your your first winner
- 15:17Speaker 5: to be the representation of your best team. So that's
- 15:22Speaker 5: what they usually do. I like what you're thinking, I do,
- 15:25Speaker 5: but I just I don't know. I just got a
- 15:28Speaker 5: feeling that's going to be put on Storm and shir Kala.
- 15:30Speaker 5: I would rather be telling them than anybody else.
- 15:35Speaker 2: No, I agree with if you're going to do the
- 15:36Speaker 2: best team, you're going to definitely do Storm in Shri Kala.
- 15:38Speaker 2: But you know, one of the things that I saw,
- 15:42Speaker 2: you know, a lot of in the on the AW
- 15:45Speaker 2: fanom subreddit, was a lot of fantasy booking of this
- 15:48Speaker 2: tournament before the brackets were even even announced. A lot
- 15:52Speaker 2: of people were bringing in teams from Stardom and from
- 15:57Speaker 2: you know, Progressling Eve and from cml L and none
- 16:01Speaker 2: of that happened. This is an AEW tournament. When you
- 16:04Speaker 2: think about it, doesn't it make sense that the first
- 16:07Speaker 2: championshould be AW not even have somebody from other promotions
- 16:14Speaker 2: stuck in there. I mean a lot of people wanted
- 16:16Speaker 2: sixteen teams, we got eight, And upon reflection, I think
- 16:19Speaker 2: this is a good idea. I think this is the
- 16:21Speaker 2: proper way doing it. I really do. But anyway, that's
- 16:28Speaker 2: my thoughts on that. Let's move on because you've got
- 16:34Speaker 2: two other four way matches on the card, to the
- 16:37Speaker 2: first being the four way Tag Team Championship match. Now,
- 16:44Speaker 2: this one is pitting FDR, the Young Bucks Jet Speed
- 16:50Speaker 2: who are on the Graphic and Jurassic Express. The winner
- 16:54Speaker 2: of that match goes to Full Gear it gets an
- 16:59Speaker 2: opportunity to face Brodido for the aw Men's World Tag
- 17:05Speaker 2: I guess we have to call it Men's Men's World
- 17:06Speaker 2: Tag Team Champion Championship. A couple of questions here, because
- 17:14Speaker 2: we also have another four away match coming up, but
- 17:16Speaker 2: I want to address this on this one. We're just
- 17:19Speaker 2: talking about this four away match. Now. Do you like
- 17:22Speaker 2: these four ways as kind of like an eliminated match
- 17:26Speaker 2: to determine the uh, you know, the number one contender?
- 17:31Speaker 2: And or do you? And if you do, do you
- 17:34Speaker 2: think they need to build them up more? Also? You know,
- 17:38Speaker 2: who do you have in this match? I'm you know,
- 17:41Speaker 2: going to full gear to face Brodido?
- 17:44Speaker 6: I personally do I think? I know Multiman matches aren't
- 17:48Speaker 6: everyone's cup of tea, but I really love them. I
- 17:52Speaker 6: think the more variables there are in a match, the
- 17:54Speaker 6: more wild and crazy things can get, can get really exciting. Yeah,
- 18:00Speaker 6: though maybe a little more build up would be nice.
- 18:03Speaker 5: I would like to see them actually make this an
- 18:05Speaker 5: elimination match, you know it, don't just have but one
- 18:10Speaker 5: fall to a winner. Do it like they used to
- 18:12Speaker 5: do when they'd have these kind of matches, Because honestly,
- 18:15Speaker 5: how many times a week do we see multiman matches
- 18:21Speaker 5: all the damn time, and it's always right. You know,
- 18:24Speaker 5: you gotta make them. If you're gonna put a title
- 18:26Speaker 5: shot on the line, you gotta add something to it.
- 18:29Speaker 5: You can't just go we're gonna throw these four teams
- 18:32Speaker 5: in there, and one of them is gonna win. You
- 18:34Speaker 5: need to give something to it to make it different,
- 18:36Speaker 5: because it just to me, it just doesn't have you know,
- 18:41Speaker 5: it's just another match it you know, finish. I figured
- 18:45Speaker 5: that it's gonna come down to either Jet Speed or
- 18:49Speaker 5: Jurassic Express. I think the Bucks and FTR are going
- 18:53Speaker 5: to eliminate each other outside the ring and keep each
- 18:58Speaker 5: other busy outside so that one of those two teams win.
- 19:01Speaker 5: But I don't really think. I don't really think it
- 19:03Speaker 5: matters he wins this match, because I don't see any
- 19:06Speaker 5: of these teams beaten Brodido at full gear.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Well one other things, Sutton that I want to mention
- 19:12Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong, because you know I'm wrong.
- 19:14Speaker 2: A lot didn't when Brodido defended at Russell Dream. Sucking
- 19:23Speaker 2: mute when Brodido defended at Russell Dream, was that that
- 19:29Speaker 2: wasn't their opponent. Also determined by one of these four
- 19:33Speaker 2: way eliminator matches. Yes, no, I.
- 19:38Speaker 5: Think so, I don't remember. I think you might be right, though.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Yeah, my my problem with this, you know, and Jess,
- 19:45Speaker 2: I don't mind. I'm one of the ones that don't
- 19:47Speaker 2: like multi man matches, but Jess, I don't mind them
- 19:51Speaker 2: that they're if they're meaningful, you know, I and I
- 19:54Speaker 2: don't consider oh, we're gonna put five hundred thousand dollars
- 19:57Speaker 2: on the line meaningful because because it's not. I'm sorry
- 20:02Speaker 2: it's not.
- 20:03Speaker 6: But anyway, particular storyline though in the particular store coming up,
- 20:09Speaker 6: they are meaningful because the bucks are broke, the noe bucks.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Yeah, the no bucks. But my point is is that
- 20:16Speaker 2: I do like it when they do have the eliminators
- 20:20Speaker 2: for a match out of pay per view. However, I
- 20:25Speaker 2: do worry that it is being overdone. That's my point.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Let's go to net. What do you have to.
- 20:29Speaker 4: Say like these kinds of matches? But I would agree
- 20:34Speaker 4: that they're not building it up enough. There's no hyper
- 20:39Speaker 4: excitement to it. It's just the same format, the same
- 20:44Speaker 4: teams doing the exact same things we've seen them do.
- 20:51Speaker 4: So I would like to see it somehow be a
- 20:54Speaker 4: little bit different. I do have Jet Speed for winning,
- 21:00Speaker 4: though I agree that the Bucks and FTR are their.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Own worst enemies.
- 21:06Speaker 4: And it's really funny some of the things the young
- 21:09Speaker 4: Bucks have been doing since they lost their their stature
- 21:14Speaker 4: as the founding fathers, and I don't know, I'm just
- 21:19Speaker 4: silly that way. I would like them to see them
- 21:22Speaker 4: play on that more. There was nothing funnier when they
- 21:25Speaker 4: were knocking on Tony Kahan's door like lunatics. So I
- 21:31Speaker 4: wish they would play it up a bit more when
- 21:33Speaker 4: they do those money matches and when they do matches
- 21:37Speaker 4: like this in general.
- 21:38Speaker 3: So that's my take on it.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everybody else we did. I mean, thank
- 21:44Speaker 2: you NEP for making a prediction on who you think
- 21:46Speaker 2: is going to win this match, because I don't think
- 21:47Speaker 2: anybody else did yet. So let's let's hear people's thoughts.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Let's let's let's hear put people on the spot. Let's
- 21:54Speaker 2: her predictions.
- 21:56Speaker 10: Jurassic Express Express fr So Time said, FDR, Marcus said
- 22:04Speaker 10: jet Speed, Sutton and Jess said Jurassic Express Net said
- 22:11Speaker 10: jet Speed.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Right. Yes, I'm going with the Bucks. I think it's
- 22:17Speaker 2: been far too long that they have. Look, they're working
- 22:22Speaker 2: their butts off putting people over. But as I think
- 22:24Speaker 2: I said last week, you can't put people over, put
- 22:28Speaker 2: people over, lose every damn time to in order to
- 22:37Speaker 2: put yourself in a position where you're not putting people over,
- 22:42Speaker 2: putting people over anymore, you're just losers that are losing,
- 22:45Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I think that they've got
- 22:47Speaker 2: the better I mean the meeting the Bucks. I think
- 22:50Speaker 2: the Bucks have to get a big win in order
- 22:53Speaker 2: to be able to put people over some more. And
- 22:56Speaker 2: so I do think that they're going to win this
- 22:57Speaker 2: match now, whether they go to full gear and actually when,
- 23:03Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 23:05Speaker 4: You know what, I think the Bucks problem is in
- 23:08Speaker 4: this storytelling, and I don't think things will ever be
- 23:13Speaker 4: okay for them until they make up with Kenny Omega.
- 23:18Speaker 4: I think that's what's holding them back exactly. Yeah, I
- 23:22Speaker 4: think that's it. They'll never be right until they make up.
- 23:26Speaker 6: And they keep trying, but they keep getting interrupted.
- 23:29Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, something.
- 23:34Speaker 6: Trying.
- 23:35Speaker 8: Have they even said sorry?
- 23:39Speaker 3: No?
- 23:40Speaker 7: So, I mean, can you really say they're trying?
- 23:45Speaker 5: Well?
- 23:45Speaker 6: They keep trying to talk to them, but every time
- 23:47Speaker 6: they try to get a word and something happens.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Yeah, something interrupts them. They just they got to make
- 23:55Speaker 4: up with Kenny.
- 23:56Speaker 3: That's the key.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Well, Kenny is minus a golden lover, so he needs
- 24:00Speaker 2: I'm buddy to love.
- 24:02Speaker 11: That's right, that's true, and it's true.
- 24:16Speaker 7: At least he didn't sing it.
- 24:17Speaker 5: At least I kind of agree that they need to
- 24:20Speaker 5: make up with Kenny. But I don't think it's gonna
- 24:22Speaker 5: happen like anytime real soon, because that's a story onto
- 24:28Speaker 5: its own self, because Kenny's got a lot of to
- 24:31Speaker 5: be pissed off with them about. And it's not something
- 24:35Speaker 5: that you can just say, oh, we're sorry, you know
- 24:38Speaker 5: what I mean. It's got to be it's gotta be
- 24:39Speaker 5: a storyline, and it could be a good way to
- 24:43Speaker 5: have a Bucks redemption with that. But I just I
- 24:47Speaker 5: think it's gonna be after full gear before they'll even
- 24:50Speaker 5: come close to starting that.
- 24:51Speaker 1: They could.
- 24:52Speaker 4: They need to hint at it because they thought that
- 24:55Speaker 4: having money was going to solve all their problems.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Then they lost their money. The problems are still there.
- 25:04Speaker 4: They need to somehow develop one of them saying no,
- 25:09Speaker 4: what I think our real problem is and kind of
- 25:12Speaker 4: look off in the distance and Kenny is there and
- 25:16Speaker 4: just kind of drop hints about it and build, build
- 25:21Speaker 4: and build and build until they actually do find a
- 25:25Speaker 4: way to apologize and make things right.
- 25:29Speaker 2: You know what I want to see happen that, Honest
- 25:31Speaker 2: to god, I want to see somebody like Hangman, Adam
- 25:34Speaker 2: Page or Darby Allen give the young Bucks one of
- 25:38Speaker 2: those fake lottery scratch off tickets and they win like
- 25:44Speaker 2: two million dollars, They lose their minds, they.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Going back to being cocky and rude.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and that they follow them to the convenience story
- 25:56Speaker 2: where they try to cash it in or whatever. Obviously
- 25:58Speaker 2: you can't cast something like that at at a convenience store,
- 26:01Speaker 2: but you know whatever, just to see I just think
- 26:06Speaker 2: that would be funny. I am a sick, sick person. Yes,
- 26:14Speaker 2: I know. It's something that I would do in real life.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Because my ex wife, she bought a lot She didn't
- 26:21Speaker 2: buy scratch off. She bought lottery tickets like every week,
- 26:24Speaker 2: and she had a notebook and every night, every night
- 26:29Speaker 2: before they did the lottery drawing, she would write down
- 26:32Speaker 2: how she was going to suspend, how she was going
- 26:35Speaker 2: to spend all the money. I'm going to buy your
- 26:37Speaker 2: mama house, my mama house. This person a car whatever, right,
- 26:42Speaker 2: and then she was genuinely devastated when she did not
- 26:46Speaker 2: win the lottery whatever. Speaking of winning the lottery, we've
- 26:53Speaker 2: got another four way match to determine a number one contender.
- 27:00Speaker 2: It's like another lottery really when you think about it,
- 27:03Speaker 2: that's what this is. And this is for the opportunity
- 27:08Speaker 2: at Full Gear to face Hangman Adam Page for the
- 27:12Speaker 2: aw Men's World Champion. And that match is Bobby Lashley
- 27:18Speaker 2: versus Ricochet versus Samoa, Joe versus Hook. This one is
- 27:26Speaker 2: really weird to me. I'm really anxious to hear what
- 27:31Speaker 2: you guys have to say about this match and who
- 27:33Speaker 2: do you think is going to win and go on
- 27:36Speaker 2: to face Hangman Adam Page at Bull Gear.
- 27:42Speaker 6: Well, Full Gear happens to be taking place on my birthday.
- 27:47Speaker 6: I will be writing up my booking decisions and sending
- 27:49Speaker 6: them to sending them to Tony Kahan shortly because being
- 27:52Speaker 6: in my birthday, he has to abide by everything I say.
- 27:55Speaker 6: It's my birthday, it's the room. But as for this
- 27:59Speaker 6: four lay, it is kind of a weird mix of people.
- 28:03Speaker 6: I mean, Joe, that just happened, so I don't I'm
- 28:06Speaker 6: not sure if he's gonna win unless we're gonna do
- 28:08Speaker 6: a two for right away? Uh, Bobby Lashley, that could
- 28:11Speaker 6: have some promise. That could be a fun match.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I but do you have a Do you have
- 28:19Speaker 2: a definitive winner for dismatch it bright Night Dynamite?
- 28:25Speaker 5: No.
- 28:25Speaker 6: I think it's probably gonna be either Bobby or Joe,
- 28:28Speaker 6: though I can't really just decide which one. It could
- 28:31Speaker 6: go either way. I think, all right, well.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Who else has a has a thought about this?
- 28:39Speaker 7: I ain't sure who's gonna win, but I know who's
- 28:41Speaker 7: gonna lose.
- 28:42Speaker 8: Hook has taking that pin.
- 28:43Speaker 7: That's the whole reason that boy's there.
- 28:46Speaker 2: So Hook, you heard it from Marcus, Hook is taking
- 28:49Speaker 2: the pinch.
- 28:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 28:50Speaker 2: I do not see Hook winning this match. He is
- 28:53Speaker 2: not a contender. And I I have I I have
- 28:57Speaker 2: to Marcus.
- 28:59Speaker 5: Yeah, it was that was time. I was like, who's
- 29:01Speaker 5: he talking about?
- 29:02Speaker 2: Markets?
- 29:02Speaker 5: For wait a minute? That was time? That was time.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Now, that was time. I don't know why he said,
- 29:07Speaker 2: Marcus or whatever. I told you. I'm telling you, man,
- 29:12Speaker 2: you know, don't get old.
- 29:14Speaker 5: It's gonna be It's gonna be an upset. You all
- 29:16Speaker 5: wanted to see an upset victory in a match. This
- 29:20Speaker 5: is gonna be the one. I think Cook's gonna win it.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Okay, I just saying, what's Oh my god.
- 29:30Speaker 3: I see Ricochet cheating to win.
- 29:34Speaker 7: I was thinking the same thing. Honestly, I'd like for
- 29:38Speaker 7: to win. He's who I would pick to win out
- 29:40Speaker 7: of those three. I just think him and Hangman would
- 29:44Speaker 7: have a fun match. And we've already seen Joe. I
- 29:48Speaker 7: think we can wait a little, you know, let that go.
- 29:53Speaker 7: And I just don't know about lastly, I don't know
- 29:56Speaker 7: if he I don't know how him and hang Man
- 30:00Speaker 7: would match up.
- 30:02Speaker 2: I think they would be fine. I mean, I really do.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Who hasn't got anybody's not me to the actual Marcus.
- 30:11Speaker 9: This is a full way that different from the other
- 30:14Speaker 9: one where I don't think this full weight actually makes
- 30:17Speaker 9: sense as far as the competitors. But in this match,
- 30:23Speaker 9: I don't think we're gonna get a winner. I think
- 30:26Speaker 9: we're gonna end up with like a triple threat at
- 30:29Speaker 9: the pay per view or something like that.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Oh god, okay, where's the where where's the kick button
- 30:39Speaker 2: on this thing?
- 30:40Speaker 4: I just here's a wild theory, though. Who is mentoring
- 30:46Speaker 4: Hook our all time favorite wrestler forever? So there's a
- 30:53Speaker 4: little twist there.
- 30:55Speaker 6: Yep, yep, I'm gonna put that in my booking Listen,
- 30:58Speaker 6: I'm going to tell I'm going to tell a TK
- 31:01Speaker 6: just throw this out the number one continue now, Eddie Kingston,
- 31:05Speaker 6: there you go.
- 31:08Speaker 8: Watching Full Gear.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think I think that. I think personally,
- 31:16Speaker 2: I think personally that.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Uh.
- 31:19Speaker 2: I think it's going to be Somemoa Joe that wins
- 31:23Speaker 2: this match. That's who My what my head says, my
- 31:27Speaker 2: heart says Ricochet. I'd like to see Ricochet because we've
- 31:33Speaker 2: already seen Samoa Joe and Hangman Adam Paige at a
- 31:36Speaker 2: pay per view.
- 31:38Speaker 4: Uh.
- 31:38Speaker 2: But then again, I said the same thing about what
- 31:43Speaker 2: was it two or three years ago when Hangman Adam Paige,
- 31:47Speaker 2: John Moxley, We're having match after match after match, and
- 31:51Speaker 2: I said, I really don't want to see Hangman Adam
- 31:55Speaker 2: Paige and John Moxley at this pay per view, and
- 31:58Speaker 2: then they went on to have one of those matches
- 32:01Speaker 2: that literally had to be drooling. There was a pool
- 32:04Speaker 2: of saliva on my shirt watching this match. So if
- 32:13Speaker 2: it is someone with Joe and Hangman Adam Paige, it's
- 32:17Speaker 2: probably gonna be good. It's probably gonna be good.
- 32:22Speaker 9: That will give me a signal that they're not going
- 32:25Speaker 9: to main event again and there'll be a different match
- 32:29Speaker 9: that's the main event.
- 32:30Speaker 5: Well, if they're not going to main event, if Hangman
- 32:34Speaker 5: doesn't have the main event, it would definitely be Monette
- 32:36Speaker 5: and Statlander a full gear that would be your main
- 32:39Speaker 5: event if you're going to have anything other than the
- 32:42Speaker 5: world title.
- 32:43Speaker 2: I leaning, well, yeah, I don't know. I don't know
- 32:48Speaker 2: about that. Let's let's shift gears. Who was it that
- 32:53Speaker 2: said that Hook may have a mentor? That was me,
- 33:00Speaker 2: that was net You know what, when you said that,
- 33:02Speaker 2: that immediately brought up something. What's that Chris Jericho could
- 33:08Speaker 2: be Hook's mentor, and that would be something that that
- 33:15Speaker 2: actually makes sense, you know. You know, look, there's been
- 33:20Speaker 2: some talk about Chris Jericho going to WWE, and of course, look,
- 33:28Speaker 2: some people junker. How long has it been since Jericho
- 33:33Speaker 2: has been off TV? It seems like at least six
- 33:36Speaker 2: or seven months February there, Okay, so about seven months,
- 33:43Speaker 2: you know, yeah, I mean, he hasn't been on TV
- 33:47Speaker 2: for a long time. Speculation is that he's going to WWE.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Whether he goes to WWE or not, I don't know,
- 34:00Speaker 2: But let's talk about Chris Jericho. I know some of
- 34:04Speaker 2: us pointing fingers at myself got a little bit tired
- 34:08Speaker 2: of watching him on TV doing the same thing week
- 34:11Speaker 2: after week. But I can't deny that Chris Jericho has
- 34:16Speaker 2: been one of the top stars of AW since its inception.
- 34:23Speaker 2: He was the first AW Men's World Champion. Nobody can
- 34:29Speaker 2: deny that he's a workhorse. What are your guys' thoughts
- 34:36Speaker 2: on Chris Jericho and his run in AAW. I mean, Frank,
- 34:40Speaker 2: they've been to ask you right off. If they did
- 34:43Speaker 2: an a W Hall of Fame in twenty thirty, is
- 34:49Speaker 2: Jericho one of the first people that goes in.
- 34:52Speaker 7: Yes, I guess he should be the first guy. He
- 34:57Speaker 7: was integral to the early days of age, his star power,
- 35:02Speaker 7: you know, with like people are like, oh, Chris Jericho's here, Okay,
- 35:06Speaker 7: I know him. You know, he was that big name
- 35:10Speaker 7: that they had. There's a reason he was the first champion,
- 35:14Speaker 7: and you know, without him, I don't know if they
- 35:18Speaker 7: do as well as they two, Like, you've got to
- 35:21Speaker 7: have that big name god, and that's what he.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Was for them. Absolutely, and think about the people he's
- 35:28Speaker 2: put over.
- 35:29Speaker 5: I mean think about it. If it wasn't for Chris Jericho,
- 35:33Speaker 5: I'm not sure that the Orange Cassidy would be as
- 35:36Speaker 5: popular as he is because you know, there were a
- 35:40Speaker 5: lot of battles between the two of them, and Jericho
- 35:43Speaker 5: put him over so well and got him started on
- 35:46Speaker 5: the right path, and then we got you know, Orange
- 35:50Speaker 5: Casside out of it. Uh. I think you can also
- 35:57Speaker 5: I was thinking that too. I was gonna say the
- 35:59Speaker 5: next one was going to be MGF because he started
- 36:02Speaker 5: out as part of Jericho's crew and you know they
- 36:07Speaker 5: had some major I mean, without Chris Jericho, I don't
- 36:11Speaker 5: think AEW's anywhere near where it would be now, honestly,
- 36:15Speaker 5: because you might not have liked the fact that he
- 36:17Speaker 5: was on TV all the time and he was doing
- 36:19Speaker 5: the Learning Tree and all the other things that he did.
- 36:23Speaker 5: But he's Chris Jericho.
- 36:25Speaker 6: You know what I mean is can you allow me
- 36:28Speaker 6: a dissenting opinion. I'll agree with you that Jericho he
- 36:34Speaker 6: did a lot for the company at the beginning, first
- 36:38Speaker 6: champion and probably deserved it. YadA yah yeada. Are we
- 36:44Speaker 6: forgetting the multiple instances of the Chris Jericho mid card
- 36:48Speaker 6: black hole where he would seemingly latch onto a rising
- 36:51Speaker 6: star and tried to suck all of the spotlight away
- 36:54Speaker 6: from them just so we could uh linger there a
- 36:56Speaker 6: little longer? Are we forgetting that he basically did the
- 36:59Speaker 6: inner circles who were three different times.
- 37:01Speaker 5: Ye see. I kind of disagree with that because if he,
- 37:06Speaker 5: if he would have not lasted onto some of those guys,
- 37:09Speaker 5: they may not have had a chance to because it
- 37:13Speaker 5: might have been a black hole with the time, but
- 37:16Speaker 5: they've become something after that. The only one I would
- 37:20Speaker 5: say that has not done that would be shoot thought
- 37:26Speaker 5: in my head, sam Yeah, Sammy, But Sammy got himself
- 37:30Speaker 5: into problems and again got himself into problems. Big will
- 37:40Speaker 5: exactly and he's he sure it was because if it
- 37:46Speaker 5: wouldn't have been for him being part of the Learning Tree,
- 37:48Speaker 5: I don't think Big Bell would be as popular as
- 37:50Speaker 5: he is because that's the thing that he came because
- 37:53Speaker 5: he was He was Tag team champion before he became
- 37:57Speaker 5: part of the Learning Tree, but he was going nowhere.
- 38:00Speaker 2: So big Bill, Big Bill is popular because of Wales,
- 38:06Speaker 2: not the animal.
- 38:07Speaker 5: Not the man on the whole country.
- 38:10Speaker 2: Go ahead, that's I mean, he's over in Wales. He
- 38:14Speaker 2: should be the Welsh World Champion. Even if it doesn't exist,
- 38:17Speaker 2: they should strap the belt on him and have him
- 38:20Speaker 2: go out and have a match between the Welsh World Champion,
- 38:23Speaker 2: Big Bill and Mercedes Monet. I would love to see.
- 38:26Speaker 2: I pay to see that.
- 38:27Speaker 6: I that it'd be a beautiful belt too.
- 38:29Speaker 7: That's just so crazy. It might work.
- 38:33Speaker 2: I said it seriously, and it is the most dumb
- 38:37Speaker 2: ass thing I've said tonight, and that's saying.
- 38:39Speaker 6: Something wait and then and then Mercedes makes google eyes
- 38:42Speaker 6: at it.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Yes, I love her googly eyes. She does that a
- 38:47Speaker 2: lot anyway.
- 38:50Speaker 6: So yeah, I guess I'm the sole Jericho hater here.
- 38:53Speaker 2: You're a Jericho hater here? How dare you you know?
- 38:58Speaker 2: This wasn't part of the go ahead Marcus.
- 39:03Speaker 9: Just because I think early on, I think he definitely
- 39:08Speaker 9: was a name and he definitely helped AW get some
- 39:12Speaker 9: of the deals that they got. I just think there
- 39:16Speaker 9: were some of his spotlight probably should have went to
- 39:20Speaker 9: someone else. I thought that every time he did anything.
- 39:24Speaker 9: I think he did a lot, had a lot of
- 39:26Speaker 9: great moments with AW him being the first champion. You
- 39:32Speaker 9: could argue maybe that should have been Kenny or Cody
- 39:37Speaker 9: just too, because they were kind of the guys that
- 39:42Speaker 9: were building that. But when he came in with the
- 39:47Speaker 9: Jay the Jericho, I can't remember which group it was,
- 39:51Speaker 9: whichever group had Santana, Norteas, h Okay and.
- 39:56Speaker 8: Appreciation they were doing that.
- 39:59Speaker 9: I I thought they were doing well with that, but
- 40:02Speaker 9: none of the guys actually got a chance to branch
- 40:04Speaker 9: off and do anything do it out of that. And
- 40:08Speaker 9: then I think he just kind of never took a break.
- 40:11Speaker 9: I think he needed a break before now, before we
- 40:16Speaker 9: got to this point. But I will look back on
- 40:20Speaker 9: it fondly because he did do a lot of He
- 40:23Speaker 9: had a lot of great moments. But if he leaves
- 40:26Speaker 9: and goes to David we I don't think I'd missed
- 40:29Speaker 9: our weekly Jericho sick.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Well, I think of that, good riddance. He's going to
- 40:38Speaker 2: deviate a little bit from our regularly scheduled programming because
- 40:43Speaker 2: I want to just mention one little thing briefly, and
- 40:46Speaker 2: that is Barbara Ray Dudley.
- 40:49Speaker 7: The dude.
- 40:50Speaker 2: The dude is literally hit. He's taking too many bumps,
- 40:54Speaker 2: he's taking too many headshots. He spews at the mouth constantly,
- 41:00Speaker 2: sometimes even accidentally saying something positive about aw. I'm not
- 41:06Speaker 2: gonna rehash what he's been saying about aw because it's
- 41:12Speaker 2: so damn annoying that I don't really want to talk
- 41:17Speaker 2: about it. The only thing that I would say to
- 41:20Speaker 2: Bubba Ray Dudley is Bubba Ray Dudley, shut the hell.
- 41:26Speaker 6: Up, yay our second Award winner.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Yes, and I didn't do a graphic. I should have,
- 41:35Speaker 2: but I knew it was going to be Bubba Ray
- 41:39Speaker 2: because it's Bubba Ray. And there's so many people that
- 41:42Speaker 2: need to shut that all up. Stick with us. Every
- 41:45Speaker 2: week we will point them out. Speaking of pointing somebody out,
- 41:49Speaker 2: let's talk about some cowboy shit. Hang Man Annam Page
- 41:54Speaker 2: is the aw Men's World Champion, and like we already
- 41:59Speaker 2: talked about this four way to determine his his opponent
- 42:04Speaker 2: at full gear, I've heard people say that cowboy shit
- 42:10Speaker 2: is better in a pursuit of a championship than he
- 42:15Speaker 2: is actually with the championship. Now, to be fair to
- 42:21Speaker 2: hang Man out a Page, if people are saying that
- 42:23Speaker 2: this this current championship run for him, is kind of
- 42:31Speaker 2: to saying you've got to look at the contenders. M
- 42:34Speaker 2: Jeff has still got the contract, but he's out filming
- 42:37Speaker 2: a movie will Os Brace where Strickland are out. Eddie
- 42:43Speaker 2: Kingston for some reason has not been given his World
- 42:46Speaker 2: championship shot yet. Uh God, I can't believe it. I
- 42:52Speaker 2: need I just had rectim file that. Oh god. I'm
- 43:04Speaker 2: just saying is that when you look at Hangman at
- 43:07Speaker 2: in Page's current run, some people have said that it's
- 43:11Speaker 2: not as good as his pursuit of the championship. But
- 43:14Speaker 2: I think you have to take into consideration, honestly, that
- 43:18Speaker 2: there are so many people that are serious contenders that
- 43:23Speaker 2: are just not available, and they've got to make serious contenders.
- 43:27Speaker 2: That's why I think that Ricochet should win this match,
- 43:32Speaker 2: even Bobby. Lastly, this matchup right night Dynamite, because I
- 43:37Speaker 2: don't want to see someone with Joe. We've already done that,
- 43:40Speaker 2: and I just don't think Hook is a serious contender
- 43:42Speaker 2: for aw Men's World Championship. No, so, but what do
- 43:49Speaker 2: you think? What do you guys think of of Hangman's run?
- 43:55Speaker 2: And guys, if you're not talking, please mute.
- 44:00Speaker 6: I think, well, I think he's a champion we can
- 44:02Speaker 6: be proud of. Love me so, Adam Page. But I've
- 44:06Speaker 6: always found in my years of watching wrestling, and this
- 44:09Speaker 6: isn't an iron clad rule but it's a general rule
- 44:12Speaker 6: of thumb that faces tend to make better chasers than
- 44:18Speaker 6: they are long than they do long term champions.
- 44:21Speaker 7: Right, That's exactly what I was gonna say. I mean,
- 44:25Speaker 7: the money is in the chase. Like most Baby Faith
- 44:30Speaker 7: champions don't have. Their title runs aren't as entertaining as
- 44:35Speaker 7: their title chases, because we can relate to the hero's journey,
- 44:41Speaker 7: you know, trying to defeat the villain, you know, obstacles
- 44:47Speaker 7: to overcome, You fall, you get back up, you rise again.
- 44:51Speaker 7: You know that's relatable. It's hard to relate to the
- 44:56Speaker 7: king defending its castle.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Thank you, fake Marcus? What's the are the real Marcus?
- 45:02Speaker 8: Oh that's gonna stick for a little while.
- 45:05Speaker 5: But oh God, Like Blake.
- 45:08Speaker 9: Was said, I think he's the victim, the biggest victim
- 45:13Speaker 9: of Swerve in Osprey being out, MJF being away, even
- 45:18Speaker 9: though he did get a match with MJF, and also
- 45:22Speaker 9: Kenny Omega not being healthy right now and not wanting
- 45:25Speaker 9: to do like big singles matches.
- 45:28Speaker 8: Reportedly, that was what he said.
- 45:31Speaker 9: And those were kind of the elements that were there
- 45:34Speaker 9: as he was building, like the human Swerve him and Ospray,
- 45:38Speaker 9: those were kind of the elements that helped build his
- 45:41Speaker 9: journey to the championship, and then he conquered Moxley and
- 45:48Speaker 9: there really wasn't anything after. There wasn't a set challenger
- 45:55Speaker 9: ready for him. I don't think I honestly think that
- 46:02Speaker 9: at full gear we shouldn't have this full way.
- 46:04Speaker 8: If full gear should be hanged in versus Darby, I think, and.
- 46:10Speaker 9: That way we kind of we having a challenger that
- 46:13Speaker 9: people actually believe to win.
- 46:15Speaker 5: See. I kind of think he's a victim of too
- 46:18Speaker 5: many narrow that they're there there there choices of who
- 46:22Speaker 5: he goes against is too narrow. You're having four guys,
- 46:27Speaker 5: two of them that pretty much probably won't be in
- 46:31Speaker 5: in competition. You're not gonna have hook win. You're not
- 46:34Speaker 5: gonna have Bobby lashing to win. It's gonna probably be
- 46:37Speaker 5: some ojo again, which I don't like because it's too
- 46:40Speaker 5: it's too soon. But you're leaving out guys like Taquesta, Okada.
- 46:45Speaker 2: Ah, Well, they're gonna be probably going against each other
- 46:48Speaker 2: full gear.
- 46:49Speaker 5: I get that, but but but you're not. You're limiting
- 46:52Speaker 5: your to who he can go against.
- 46:55Speaker 2: And that's the problem.
- 46:57Speaker 5: Yeah, MJF is off doing a movie. You know that coming.
- 47:01Speaker 5: You knew a month before he won this title that
- 47:04Speaker 5: you weren't gonna have a Swerve or you know, those
- 47:08Speaker 5: guys were gonna be hurt. You knew that was gonna happen.
- 47:11Speaker 5: So instead of expanding it and maybe making it somebody else,
- 47:16Speaker 5: they've said, well, it's gonna be some mojo and he's
- 47:18Speaker 5: gonna get these other matches that he's had. He's not
- 47:21Speaker 5: gonna get anybody that's gonna make it exciting like he
- 47:24Speaker 5: had with Swerve. So I you know, I think he's
- 47:28Speaker 5: a victim of the victim of the injury bug. But
- 47:32Speaker 5: there's also they're not giving people a chance that could
- 47:36Speaker 5: get a chance. That's just how I see it.
- 47:38Speaker 9: On just speaking on Ricata and Taqusta with Okada, like
- 47:43Speaker 9: they did the Fletcher match and that was Champion verse champions,
- 47:47Speaker 9: so they do another champion versus champion match.
- 47:50Speaker 8: And with Taqusta.
- 47:51Speaker 9: If he was always gonna win the HIGHWGP championship, I.
- 47:55Speaker 8: Don't think you can.
- 47:57Speaker 9: Well you can, but I don't think it looks good.
- 48:00Speaker 9: You just beat him before or after he wins that championship.
- 48:06Speaker 2: Yeah, well let's not forget that to also tomorrow night
- 48:08Speaker 2: on Frate Night Dynamite, you have Don Kallas coming out
- 48:13Speaker 2: and speaking about the don Kallis family, and if you
- 48:17Speaker 2: paid attention to social media, don Kallas has been saying
- 48:20Speaker 2: is that, look, the Don Kallas family is fine. And
- 48:26Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing here, but he's basically said, when you have
- 48:29Speaker 2: a group of superior athletes, which is something that Don
- 48:33Speaker 2: Kallas would always say, when you have a group of
- 48:36Speaker 2: superior athletes, they are going to be competitive against each other.
- 48:41Speaker 2: And I think that tomorrow night on Frate Night Dynamite.
- 48:45Speaker 2: I'm interested in this segment to see how competitive to
- 48:50Speaker 2: catch the nocada and even Kyle Fletcher, who I believe
- 48:53Speaker 2: should be in the four way instead of hook how
- 48:58Speaker 2: they react. So let's move on to our final segment,
- 49:02Speaker 2: which is the pot Pourri. Uh. This segment is we
- 49:08Speaker 2: can bring up anything that we want to talk about.
- 49:10Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be aw specifically, but it's just
- 49:16Speaker 2: a short conversation about different things. Anybody have a pot
- 49:21Speaker 2: poiri that they want to bring up?
- 49:23Speaker 6: I do, Oh oh, sorry, you go ahead, and it okay.
- 49:28Speaker 4: I love Coda Abushi, like just hugely love that man.
- 49:35Speaker 4: But I saw the stupidest thing this week where he
- 49:39Speaker 4: stood up out of his wheelchair and did that whole
- 49:42Speaker 4: standing sitting, standing sitting. He just had surgery on his
- 49:49Speaker 4: broken femur and he's outside standing up. I think that
- 49:55Speaker 4: was one of the dumbest things I've seen in quite
- 49:58Speaker 4: a long time, and I've been wrest some fan a
- 50:01Speaker 4: really long time.
- 50:02Speaker 3: That one blew me away.
- 50:04Speaker 4: I don't know what he or maybe his doctors whoever,
- 50:09Speaker 4: were thinking about that, but I thought that was a
- 50:12Speaker 4: really poor choice to make.
- 50:18Speaker 6: I think I figured it was always well known that
- 50:21Speaker 6: Coda Abouhi blessed his heart, has always been kind of
- 50:24Speaker 6: an idiot, and I'm yeah, but this one, I say
- 50:27Speaker 6: that with the most affection possible.
- 50:30Speaker 4: This one just blew me away. I've seen him do
- 50:34Speaker 4: a lot of silly stuff, but this one just topped
- 50:37Speaker 4: it for me. I don't know why, but that one
- 50:41Speaker 4: just just did it.
- 50:42Speaker 6: Probably because he's gonna like get him like keep himself
- 50:45Speaker 6: away even longer if he doesn't show the hell out. Yeah,
- 50:50Speaker 6: sorry to interrupt.
- 50:51Speaker 2: Well, just did you have a popori as well?
- 50:53Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 50:54Speaker 6: Yeah, this is just a short kind of goofy thing.
- 50:58Speaker 8: Shoes.
- 50:59Speaker 6: The last couple pairs of sneakers that I have owned
- 51:02Speaker 6: have been AW sneakers. My first was like a pair
- 51:05Speaker 6: of I think the brand is like Theodora. I had
- 51:08Speaker 6: a pair of the Deodora aw Pride sneakers, and then
- 51:12Speaker 6: when those started to wear out, I got a pair
- 51:14Speaker 6: of Lutre Bros sneakers, which I still have, but those
- 51:16Speaker 6: are starting to wear out too. I do not I
- 51:19Speaker 6: do not think make AW sneakers anymore. But what I
- 51:23Speaker 6: didn't manage to get myself was a pair of Rebok
- 51:25Speaker 6: Brodie Lee Tribute sneakers. I cannot wait for those to
- 51:29Speaker 6: come in. They look very cool in the pictures. I
- 51:32Speaker 6: will give a further review once I actually have them
- 51:34Speaker 6: in hand. But Berdielee sneakers incoming, Well, you.
- 51:38Speaker 2: Know what you could do, Jess, is get a pair
- 51:40Speaker 2: of your old sneakers, put thumbtacks that in call them
- 51:43Speaker 2: the young Buck sneakers.
- 51:47Speaker 6: There are actually a pair of a set of Deodora
- 51:49Speaker 6: Young Bucks sneakers, but those usually go for like a lot,
- 51:53Speaker 6: so I'm not even gonna try to get a pair
- 51:55Speaker 6: of those.
- 51:55Speaker 2: Anybody else with a pot pourri IWTP have you way
- 52:00Speaker 2: champion to.
- 52:02Speaker 7: Defend against? Also feature versus Yoga Suji for the global
- 52:15Speaker 7: title and the finals of the Super Junior type don't
- 52:19Speaker 7: know about the rest of the card.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Uh, well, I have a pote prix that's actually not mine.
- 52:24Speaker 2: It was something I believe Barry who could be with
- 52:26Speaker 2: us tonight posted he was saying he asked for his
- 52:32Speaker 2: pot pourri was who do you think are the who
- 52:39Speaker 2: do you think are the uh most underutilized talents in
- 52:43Speaker 2: a W And I thought that was a pretty darn
- 52:48Speaker 2: good question. Well, he's usually he's used a lot.
- 52:52Speaker 6: In r o H.
- 52:53Speaker 2: Though.
- 52:54Speaker 5: That's the thing that makes it kind of difficult because
- 52:58Speaker 5: r OH does use a lot of talent, and if
- 53:00Speaker 5: you don't watch ROH, you don't know who's being used
- 53:03Speaker 5: over there or not. And you know, with having the
- 53:06Speaker 5: rosters be the same pretty much, I mean, just because
- 53:10Speaker 5: you're on an ROH roster doesn't mean you won't be
- 53:12Speaker 5: on AW and vice versa. I mean, there are some
- 53:16Speaker 5: people that are being underutilized, but I think Tony does
- 53:19Speaker 5: a really good job of trying to get as many
- 53:21Speaker 5: people on the shows as he can. That's why he
- 53:25Speaker 5: has so many multiman matches and women matches. I mean,
- 53:29Speaker 5: you really, to be honest, you'd have to have three
- 53:33Speaker 5: shows a week to try to get everybody on TV
- 53:38Speaker 5: with an equal number of an equal amount of time,
- 53:40Speaker 5: because they're just you only got four hours a week
- 53:43Speaker 5: and you've got so much talent, it's really hard.
- 53:46Speaker 2: To do that well. As we are speaking, two more
- 53:50Speaker 2: matches have been made for Fright Night Dynamite, the first
- 53:54Speaker 2: being John Moxley versus Kyle O'Reilly yay, the second being
- 54:01Speaker 2: a Trigger Treat Tornado tag match with Daniel Garcia and
- 54:08Speaker 2: if you Wheeler Udah. He should be a recipient every
- 54:12Speaker 2: week of shut the Hell Up Wheeler Yeah against Darby
- 54:18Speaker 2: Allen an Orange Cassidy. So that looks like.
- 54:23Speaker 6: A lot of fun, sure does.
- 54:26Speaker 2: But back to the underutilized anybody else have underutilized? Uh
- 54:30Speaker 2: wrestlers in aw I sure do go for.
- 54:33Speaker 6: It, Eddie Kingston, uh.
- 54:37Speaker 2: Overutilized We were talking underutilized.
- 54:41Speaker 6: No, No, the answer is Nyla Rose. I mentioned this before.
- 54:47Speaker 6: She says she's content and happy working in the back,
- 54:50Speaker 6: but I miss her. I think like having a big
- 54:53Speaker 6: beast like her in the women's division, especially flourishing it
- 54:56Speaker 6: as it is now, would be a great addition. But
- 55:00Speaker 6: she's like awesome, She's hilarious, she's, like I said, she's
- 55:04Speaker 6: an absolute beast. Give me more Nyla please.
- 55:07Speaker 3: I miss her too, I miss saying.
- 55:14Speaker 7: To be fair, she has been busy as the pro champion.
- 55:18Speaker 2: Yeah, well, before we wrap up the show tonight, I
- 55:25Speaker 2: I kind of want to end it on a little
- 55:27Speaker 2: bit of a downer, but I do want to say
- 55:32Speaker 2: that I and I'm sure to rest you guys as well,
- 55:36Speaker 2: offer our thoughts to Mike Rotunda, formerly known as I R.
- 55:42Speaker 2: S from w w E, who was placed in hospice
- 55:45Speaker 2: care earlier today. I've not seen any further information other
- 55:53Speaker 2: than that, but of course Mike Rotunda is the father
- 55:58Speaker 2: of Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt, sixty seven years old.
- 56:04Speaker 2: I believe he is in hospice care. We're thinking about
- 56:07Speaker 2: you and you know, godspeed. That's all I can say,
- 56:11Speaker 2: and with that we will end tonight's ignition. Will be
- 56:16Speaker 2: back tomorrow night, right after Fright Night Dynamite. Look, there's
- 56:19Speaker 2: a heck of a lot that's going to be happening
- 56:22Speaker 2: tomorrow night with those four way matches the AW Women's
- 56:27Speaker 2: World Tag Team Tournament getting started. The two matches I
- 56:31Speaker 2: just announced John Moxley and Kyle O'Reilly again. Then of
- 56:35Speaker 2: course the Tornado trick or treat tag that we just
- 56:40Speaker 2: talked about, So there's going to be a lot to unpack.
- 56:43Speaker 2: It's going to be a fun show tomorrow night. As
- 56:45Speaker 2: a heck of a card, thank you for listening. We
- 56:49Speaker 2: will be back next week as well at eight forty
- 56:52Speaker 2: five Eastern time, broadcasting live on Twitch and x. Eventually,
- 56:59Speaker 2: in about a month and a half or so, we
- 57:01Speaker 2: will be starting to broadcast live on YouTube. We just
- 57:05Speaker 2: have to wait to get through our probation period. I
- 57:09Speaker 2: guess this is the best way to put it, but
- 57:12Speaker 2: we will be on YouTube as well. Uh but anyway,
- 57:16Speaker 2: forty aw fanhob podcast team. This is Kelson. Good night everybody,
- 57:23Speaker 2: good night, I RS good night, love you there it
- 57:28Speaker 2: is Yeah,
