Transcript
- 0:07It's Tuesday, and you know what that means. It's time for another edition
- 0:10of Ignition. I'm your co host Kelson, and I'm your other co host
- 0:16Andre. Tonight, we have quite a group here. We have some panel
- 0:22members that we haven't heard from today. We have the King of Television,
- 0:27Sea Boss. Hello. We have a very nice, very evil Rawlins.
- 0:36Revolution will be televised. Indeed, we have the timeless Hockey Hello. And
- 0:47mister Mayhem Wolf. Hello, this is war. That sounded so intimidating.
- 0:58Wolf, really wave the white flag right now. Well, tonight, we
- 1:06have a couple of juicy topics and first we're gonna start with none other than
- 1:11the nature Boy himself, Rick Flair. Now, a couple of weeks ago,
- 1:17he made his debut as a surprise for Sting, which I think we
- 1:22kind of had a positive outlook on that. We had a positive a lot
- 1:25of positive things to say about it. In his promo, he mentioned that
- 1:30he is going to write it out till the end of Sting's career. But
- 1:34then a few days later we actually found out that he signed a two year
- 1:37contract with aw which means he's going to stay way after Sting's retirement. So
- 1:44my question to you guys is what do you think Ric Flair is going to
- 1:49do in AW? Do you think he will wrestle hopefully not? Do you
- 1:52think he will manage somebody? What is the future for Rick Flair in AAW?
- 1:59See Boss, so Rick Flair signs a two year deal with a W
- 2:05I think it's a great idea. I think he can take what you know,
- 2:09his experience as both a wrestler and as a backstage influence and bring AW
- 2:20and their talent to new heights. I believe that what he can do for
- 2:24this company will change it for the better. Okay, yeah, have any
- 2:34think that adds on that? Rollins? Hey, honestly don't know what he's
- 2:40going to do once Sting retires, because that was the whole point of bringing
- 2:46him in. I think he'll factor into the trios match at full gear in
- 2:52some way, but beyond that, I don't really know what he adds a
- 3:00But we can talk about this a little bit later. But Sea Boss,
- 3:05I know you've mentioned the idea of maybe this brings Charlotte Flair into AW.
- 3:09I don't think that's necessarily going to happen. I know you've mentioned that,
- 3:16but anyway, Aki, do you have any thoughts on Rick Flair coming into
- 3:23AW. I don't care. That's hockey real quick, then, I think
- 3:32I'm I'm indifferent. I'm not very excited. I'm not very upset. I'm
- 3:38just more confused than anything after the Sting retirement. I'm guessing that correct me
- 3:46if I'm wrong. Is Arn't Anderson still with AW? Yes? Yes,
- 3:51So I suppose you can do something with them, right, You could either
- 3:55return the four Horsemen or or run an angle between the two of them.
- 4:00I'm guessing that's probably what they're going to do, because what else are you
- 4:04going to use Ric Flair? I mean, how else are you gonna use
- 4:08Rickclair. I appreciate Sea Wells, I appreciate what you're saying. I just
- 4:12don't think that it's like relevant anymore. I don't think Ric Flair is relevant
- 4:17enough to really bring eyes and better the better the product or the company.
- 4:21And that's just my personal opinion. So I'll kick it over to Kelson.
- 4:27Yeah, well, you know, here's the thing with Rick Flair. A
- 4:31lot of people that have been watching Rick Flair Ric Flair for years, and
- 4:40we have airback in here in air what we're talking about and I'll throw it
- 4:44to you right after I'm done here. What we're talking about is what are
- 4:47the plans, what what could possibly be the plans for Rick Flair after Staying
- 4:56retires because Ric Flair, aside to you deal and Sting is retiring in just
- 5:02a matter of months, and I was going to express something. One thing
- 5:05I do want to say is that part of Rick Flair's deals with the energy
- 5:10drink, the Wu Energy Drink, and I finally know how to spell WU
- 5:15because of the Wo. There are five ooh's or oh's in WU. I
- 5:17think that's important. So all you grammar nazis out there, whenever you see
- 5:21WU written on Reddit or Discord or Twitter or whatever, you could say,
- 5:27you spelled their wrongers five oohs. Anyway, Wolf, you took the words
- 5:33right out of my mouth. Once thing retires, I really do think that
- 5:38they may do something between Rick Flair and arn Anderson. And Rick Flair at
- 5:43an interview already said that he wants to work with Andrade, who is his
- 5:46son in law married to Charlotte or Ashley, and uh, maybe we will
- 5:53see a rebuilding of the Four Horsemen. Keep in mind, however, that
- 5:59Rick Flair doesn't decide that arn Anderson decides that arn Anderson owns the trademark for
- 6:05the four horson for horsemen air. Uh, what do you think? And
- 6:10you're muted, buddy, so I'm mute yourself, And what do you think?
- 6:13What are the plans? What do you think our plans are for Rick
- 6:16Flair? I think whatever the plants may have been, they might set of
- 6:24things now. I seeing all the lashback for the signing this past week,
- 6:31I think over many people have notice to it. Do you know rickclaire historic
- 6:35past, and even if we put the past aside, we put all those
- 6:40allegations aside. One of the big issues with Ric Flair is that the age
- 6:45is your whole roster. There's already a lot of concerns that I'm having Edge
- 6:49Christian Staying, Rick Blair, Paul White, guys like these, You're already
- 6:56taking away time TV time, valuable TV time from people that are much younger
- 7:00and deserve I was like Garcia, guys like Wheeler, you do, people
- 7:05who pick Sta Hobbes. There's many that we can name that you run down
- 7:11THET A W roster, and there's plenty of people that don't get TV time.
- 7:15So each week to Clare giving them a lot of because sure as hell,
- 7:21camp Pump. I don't know if people saw like at mc bricks they
- 7:26retirement match. No, yeah, yeah, I agree with what you're saying.
- 7:39I don't think he's I hope to whoever you want to pray to that
- 7:43he does not wrestle. H he can get slapped by somebody, he can
- 7:47low blow somebody. That's as much action as I want out of him.
- 7:49I don't want to see him wrestle at all. And sorry, ahead,
- 7:57don't go, don't go ahead, Eric, what did you say. I
- 8:00didn't hear what you said. I would say, like, even in terms
- 8:03of his promos like both passionate, energetic, most usually associated with there,
- 8:07I don't think he has that voice or he doesn't have that cadence. He
- 8:11can't local himself, and that's any matter. Even if you hear him in
- 8:16interviews elsewhere, it's just not the same. No, I agree with you.
- 8:22But one of the things that he may be able to do, if
- 8:24he can get a little bit a little bit of that magic back, is
- 8:28to elevate somebody else in the ring with his promo work, and something that
- 8:35was alluded to earlier, he could help people with their promo work in the
- 8:41back without ever being on TV. I think he could be an asset.
- 8:46But we're going to move on now because we've got a lot to talk about.
- 8:50I want to go to this aw pole that aw Phanhob did a poll
- 8:54starting on Reddit. What the poll was about is we asked our members to
- 9:01name which of the aew women who have yet to win a title belt.
- 9:09That does not mean Battle Royals, and it does not mean the owen Hart
- 9:15who have not won a tie a belt, who do you think will be
- 9:16the first to win. So we did this poll on Reddit and we got
- 9:24the initial votes and it was clear right from the get go that four women
- 9:28were singled out over all the others that had never won a belt before.
- 9:35So we expanded the poll, put it on Twitter X, we put it
- 9:39on blue Sky, we put it on YouTube, we put it on Discord,
- 9:41We've put it everywhere and it got hundreds hundreds of votes, really impressive,
- 9:50and there was a clear winner and it was a clear surprise at the
- 9:54bottom. And I want to discuss the the results of this poll, and
- 10:01I want to see if the panel agrees with it or disagrees with it.
- 10:05If you were surprised or if you weren't surprised, And if they're one of
- 10:13these four women is not on your personal list, you don't share who you
- 10:16think might be the next to get a belt in AW. I mean,
- 10:20you're talking only about the AWTBS Championship. In the AW Women's World Championship,
- 10:26there's not a lot to go by right now. So at number four with
- 10:33the least amount of votes, and this is the one that surprised me,
- 10:37was Willow Nightingale at number three with far more votes than Willow Nightingale, and
- 10:46Willow Nightingale was by far the least, but the other these next two were
- 10:54very close. Number three was sky Blue. Number two very close with sky
- 11:01Blue was Ruby Soho. And just for those of you who hadn't heard our
- 11:07podcast before, and I pointed this out last week, Ruby Soho has never
- 11:09won a title belt at either WWE or AW and she's kind of a big
- 11:16deal. That's kind of surprising. Number one, by a very large margin,
- 11:22was Julia Hart. So the question is do you agree with the votes
- 11:28of the community and or do you have somebody else that you think should have
- 11:33been put in there for consideration? Sea Boss what do you think. I'm
- 11:37genuinely I'm not surprised Julia Hart's number one. She's pretty popular. I honestly
- 11:43thought sky Blue would be over Ruby Soho. And I'm surprised, well,
- 11:50the Nightingale got the least. She's I guess she's not as popular as the
- 11:54other three. I want to let me break in there, se. I
- 12:00don't think it really has to do with popularity. I think it has to
- 12:03do with, uh, just the way that they're booked. I mean,
- 12:09Ruby Soho was very close to sky Blue. It was flipping back and forth
- 12:16like crazy. You could, honestly he could put Ruby Soho in third,
- 12:18because it may have changed by now because the poll is still going on.
- 12:22But I think that it's not that I think people actually looked at this intelligently.
- 12:33He could have looked at it intelligently and no c boss. Ruby Soho
- 12:35never won a title in WWE. It might have been a Mandela I swear
- 12:43she had. You would swear that she did. I absolutely, I have
- 12:46to look it up because the Riot Squad was booked well, they weren't booked
- 12:54very good in WWE. But I swear at some point her and Live or
- 12:58her and Sarah Logan won the tag Belts. I I guess not. But
- 13:05is there anybody else on the w W E W A fuck? Listen to
- 13:09me, boss that you think should should have been considered? We originally just
- 13:15saw. I let you know, we did have Kier Hogan on the list
- 13:18and Anna j and they just no, uh do r O H belts count?
- 13:24No? A W belts? That is actually my number one? Is
- 13:33yeah? I agree, nobody. Let's say Athena's number one, then Julia,
- 13:43then Willow, then Sky that's my that that's my four. I'm looking
- 13:48to win a title now or should have won a title yet? Who's but
- 13:52who's next? To win? The next? After that? No? Who's
- 13:56next? Like right down if somebody was going to win a title, who's
- 14:01gonna win a title right now? At AW title? Do you think if
- 14:05Tina's gonna win an AW title even though she doesn't wrestle in AW at all?
- 14:09I'd actually say, if it's right now, that's what it is.
- 14:13Who's next? Who is next? Okay? What are you thinking? Really?
- 14:22Not surprised that Willem Nightingale was so far off the list or a distant
- 14:30number four? I should say her character I feel like just there's nothing special
- 14:39about it. It feels like Bailey's original character when she came into WWE and
- 14:46she had her whole I'm a hugger and she had those like floating our things
- 14:54and it worked for a while, but then the fans are just like,
- 14:58yeah, we don't care. So that's not surprising at all. The most
- 15:03surprising is Ruby. Soho, why is she on the list? I'm sorry,
- 15:09but she has gotten absolutely buried since coming to AW so the fact that
- 15:16she was the second on this list was really shocking to me. I would
- 15:22say sky Blue is the clear number two behind, of course, Julia Hart.
- 15:30I'm really interested to see what Skyblue is gonna do right now. It
- 15:35seems like she might be teasing a bit of a heel turn. Yeah so
- 15:43ACKI let's get your take on this. So the last person was Willow,
- 15:50then it was Ruby, then it was Sky and Ruby. They interchanged,
- 15:56they flipped, lopped back and forth, and that was Julia is number one.
- 16:02I mean, yeah, fair enough, but that's a pretty good list.
- 16:06I mean, I want Julia to be the like I wanted. I
- 16:11want Julia to be a champion. I just would in my opinion, I
- 16:17would switch Willow with Ruby. Soho, because Willow to me is like I
- 16:26like Willow more than Ruby. Yeah, that's just my opinion. So let's
- 16:33go to Wolf and then Wolf, uh will go to Air all Air.
- 16:38After Air, we'll go to Andre. Sounds good, all right? So
- 16:41the poll is mine. I don't disagree with the with the results. And
- 16:45just keep in mind, I think when you posted that poll, wasn't Ruby
- 16:48supposed to be? Ruby was having the match with Shida, so it was
- 16:52relevant, right, So I think those who voted for Ruby, you know,
- 16:56voted smart. As far as any other omissions from the list, I
- 17:02guess you can consider the Bunny and Penelope Ford, but not in a realistic
- 17:06sense. I would just like to see those two get pushed because they're Day
- 17:10one people. But I honestly, it's got to come down to Julia.
- 17:15She needs to have a rematch with with stat Lander. Was this? Yeah,
- 17:21she needs to have a rematch with Statlander, and then when win the
- 17:26title, she needs to do it. So Air, do you what do
- 17:29you have on this? Do you have anything to add? Yeah, I'll
- 17:33throw a different name out, But so it's oh and seven In Championship Madden
- 17:40A totally. So I don't. Yes, every time you feel like she's
- 17:47gonna win something, whether it was the Owen, whether it was the TV
- 17:49type title anything, it just doesn't happen. And she's always been using these
- 17:53positions to be like the fall girl. Twice now, I think she's been
- 17:56in trouble threat matches. The was with like Revolution I think when it was
- 18:03the rare uh and Ruby in the match, and then again recently H So
- 18:10she's always been the she's somebody with the crowd loves, they gets behind for
- 18:15whatever reason. We in w W, there's a w just don't see her
- 18:19as that championship material person even though she's she's pretty young, she's good with
- 18:26character wise, she's good on the mic, much better than many women on
- 18:30the roster. They don't see that in her. But a different nick will
- 18:33throw out that I think I could and should we title's Serena Deeb. It's
- 18:41for me the ring work. Yeah, we've we We've talked that length air
- 18:51about Serena Deeb. Where is she Just like I think, yeah, where
- 19:00and the last time I definitely agree with you with Serita D. But she's
- 19:08been gone so long nobody even mentioned her. The last time I saw her
- 19:12was the was the match with uh thunder Rosa at Double or Nothing last year
- 19:18in the title match, and then kind I think she had like one more
- 19:26appearance on a darker elevation and then it's just radio silence. I honestly injured.
- 19:37Like all of the Reforce I've seen from like Sean Sap, there's she's
- 19:40healthy, she spent. They just don't have anything for her. But because
- 19:47you know, I think giving it to her. So like do you remember
- 19:52like a professor of five minute challenges? Those were great? Yeah? You
- 19:57remember those? Yeah, that'd be cool. What about Red Velvet though,
- 20:03she's coming back to Dynamite this week. If they can build her upright,
- 20:08he could make for a good TBS champion. No, you're not going.
- 20:14I mean if you go up and down the women's roster, can't argue with
- 20:18anybody, really, I mean, everybody are professionals, they're good. My
- 20:26take on this. First of all, I want to shout out our regular
- 20:29panel member Shane who's not here with us tonight, because he is a big
- 20:33supporter of Will and nutting Gale, and I feel like he would not be
- 20:37happy with it. His Paul because she's so low on the table. But
- 20:42in my opinion, I think I personally think that Julia Hard is the clear
- 20:48winner between these women that should be the next champion, either TBS or Women's
- 20:52Champion. And I think what separates Julia from the other three is that she
- 20:56doesn't have that outcasts thank on her because Willow, Willow Ruby is part of
- 21:04the outcast. Willow and Skyblue have been losing to the outcast for what feels
- 21:11like the past year. I know it's not been that long, but it
- 21:14feels like it's been their entire careers, and I think it's just it's hard
- 21:18to take people seriously who are always losing, especially big matches. And yes,
- 21:23Julia Heart lost to Chris at Wrestle Dream, but I was there.
- 21:30I don't know how it looked on TV, but there was a lot of
- 21:33support for Julia from the crowd. And if she would have won that the
- 21:38championship that night, I don't think many people would complain. So I think
- 21:41Julia is already a made woman. She just needs the official stamp of a
- 21:48championship. Uh So, Yeah, I think she's right there, and I
- 21:52think tomorrow she's gonna h she wrestles Velvet what was her name, Red Velvet.
- 21:57And by the way, it is Julia Hart's birthday tomorrow as well,
- 22:02so it would be kind of rough to Julia Hart lose the Red Velvet on
- 22:07her birthday, right, Yes, I think that is going to continue for
- 22:11Julia, and I actually, if I have to place bets, I would
- 22:15think that within the next couple of months, I think she will beat Chris
- 22:22for the championship. I think I actually have to disagree with you on that
- 22:26one, Andre. And here's why. If you've been paying attention to the
- 22:33story recently, with specifically sky Blue, she's been teasing a bit of a
- 22:38heel turn. So what if you have sky Blue turned heel and then she's
- 22:45the one that takes the title off of Scotlander. Do you think that could
- 22:52work? I think in the as far as pushes go, I think Julia
- 22:56has been pushed a lot higher than sky Blue. Uh. If you go
- 23:02with your theory, I think that Julia can beat Chris for the championship,
- 23:06but then sky Blue will get built up while Julia is defending her championship and
- 23:11eventually sky Blue can beat Julia for it, especially since last week. Uh,
- 23:15sky Blue did spray Julia in the face, so they kind of have
- 23:19a little rivalry starting up. Yeah, exactly Collage Sky Blue kind of.
- 23:27But the BacT on that she it seems like there's some tension between her and
- 23:33Willow Nightingale. For me, right, go ahead, Aeron, what did
- 23:36you have to say? I was gonna say, Oh, here's another name,
- 23:40Billy Starks. So a lot of people are watching wait but for mimoney
- 23:47and the whole I t one of the best in the A universe. Everybody's
- 23:53position. Think Billy starts to be the on that turns on and beats Atina
- 23:57for the RWITCH Women's champ and ship. But let's say she doesn't. They
- 24:03stay a pair and then Big Start debuts on a w official as an elite
- 24:11wrestler, and she's the one to take it to your title and you have
- 24:14like this power couple here as your next up. She's a team, so
- 24:22like there's for the women's divisions. Yeah, well, only the only problem
- 24:30with with with what you're saying, Air is that when you only have one
- 24:37woman's match on TV every every show, you don't give a lot of time
- 24:42for exposition, which brings me for a secondary question. Do you think we
- 24:48already know that we're gonna get Timeless Tony Storm against Karashida at full gear?
- 24:53Do you think is it possible and I know this is gonna be ay out
- 25:00there, is it possible that we may see two women title defenses? Do
- 25:06you think Chris Statlander is gonna defend at full gear? Possible? Yes,
- 25:12anything is possible, but likely I do I don't think it's likely. You
- 25:18have to put the match together in like what two weeks. I think they
- 25:22can do it, but we've never had a I don't think we've ever had
- 25:26a show with two women's matches before I'm gonna I'm gonna show. Let me
- 25:30throw before you say anything seem possible to throw another scenario out here. We
- 25:34know that Tony Kahan loves to do multi women matches. So what do you
- 25:41think if they do have Statlander defend? Do you just say, let's just
- 25:45assume that Statlander is gonna defend? What do you think about Statlander versus Willow
- 25:52Nightingale, Sky Blue and Julia Hart, who've been working a program for weeks
- 25:56basically together. I had idea, Okay, I was gonna say several pay
- 26:06per views within the past couple of years have had women two women's title matches
- 26:11double or nothing. Last year had thunder Roses versus Serena Deep and Anna was
- 26:18it Anna j or Tight? Well, no, it was Anna j versus
- 26:22Jade Cargill all out. Last year had the women's four way for the interim
- 26:30championship and Athena versus Jade Cargill. Full gear had Tony Storm versus Jamie Hayter
- 26:40and oh what's her name? Nyla Rose versus Jade Cargill Jade. When Jade
- 26:48Cargill was TBS champion, she was on like every pay per view for the
- 26:52last one. Yeah, she was totally. The other thing with Jay Cargill
- 26:57is that she was booked for a lot of those matches on pay per views,
- 27:00literally on rampage three days before build. The only one that had any
- 27:07build. The only two that had any build up were Nyla because Nyla stole
- 27:11the TVs title and Athena because they had that build started at double or nothing.
- 27:18Right, I think that a half baked build for ty Val Korea British
- 27:22Beer as well. True, True, I don't remember that at all.
- 27:27I I don't remember she faced Marina shafear. I don't. I don't think
- 27:33that was a p per viewer. I think that Yeah, that sounds like
- 27:37a Dynamite match. Well, speaking of Dynamite, we have a big Dynamite
- 27:45tomorrow. It's in Portland, Oregon, and honestly, I thought it was
- 27:48going to be just a filler show because, uh, Pacific Northwest is not
- 27:52really known as like a big wrestling market. But Tony Kahan is going crazy
- 27:59with his car. It's one of the best Dynamite cars that I can think
- 28:03of in recent memory, and I think that's saying a lot. Kelson and
- 28:07I were talking about which two matches we should focus on, and I think
- 28:12the obvious one is the Big Boy match between Keith Lee and Samoa Joe.
- 28:18Uh. Do you guys think Samoa Joe is finally going to lose the TV
- 28:22title or do you think he keeps it and continues his momentum towards challenging MJF
- 28:29in the future. See boss, what's your take? I'm so excited for
- 28:34this match? Rollins. Uh just want to say something right now. I'm
- 28:40coming over tomorrow and we're gonna watch that Dynamite. But yes, this is
- 28:47the match. I am the most hyped for. When it comes to tomorrow's
- 28:52Dynamite, I want I've been wanting to see Samoa Joe and Keithley. They
- 28:56cross paths all. I think they crossed passing the NXT but never had a
- 29:02match. They crossed passing the main roster ww never had a match. Now
- 29:07we're finally getting the match, and it is meat on meat all day.
- 29:15I'm excited for it. Does Keith Lee win, Probably not, But if
- 29:19he does, strap that rocket ship to the back of him, push him
- 29:23to the moon. I think. I think if anyone gets it done,
- 29:29it's gonna be Keith Rollins. You got thoughts well, First of all,
- 29:36thanks for playing me on the spot there seaboll okay, But in terms of
- 29:41this match, there hasn't been enough build to make me believe that Samoa Joe
- 29:48is going to lose the championship, Like there needs to be more of a
- 29:56right, So that's a good point. There's no story here. There's It's
- 30:03not like Keith Lee's been calling out Samoa Joe for weeks or whatever. It's
- 30:10just hey, geese title shot, Okay, let's do it. So no,
- 30:18I think there's no way Samoa Joe is losing his championship. Maybe Shane
- 30:25Taylor comes out and costs uh Keith Lee the match, because I know Keith
- 30:30Lee and Shane Taylor have been going back and forth on backstage promos and whatnot,
- 30:36and that I guess that's a feud. They do have a lot of
- 30:41history. M HM hockey. What do you think about this upcoming TV Championship
- 30:48match? It should be fun because I like the two of the I like
- 30:53two of the wrestlers, but I don't I mean, I don't think he's
- 30:59gonna win the champ but if he does win the champion, that would be
- 31:02pretty cool. I agree. I think if that matches anything like that Hobbes
- 31:07and Mural match, I think it's gonna be amazing. Yeah, I agree
- 31:11with you guys. I think sorry, I mean to just jump in.
- 31:17It's go ahead. So yeah, I'm I'm hoping that Keith Lee wins.
- 31:21I think this could be a start of something good. If he was to
- 31:25win the r O H TV title, I think, you know, he's
- 31:27deserving of it. I think he's done enough for the company where he should
- 31:33be rewarded. But honestly, the match itself is probably just gonna speak for
- 31:37itself. It's gonna be good, it's gonna be hard news, it's gonna
- 31:41be a lot of fun, and I'm not expecting anything less air. Do
- 31:45you have anything that you want to add to that? I suppose my art
- 31:52said yes, wins along with Julia Hardy's birthday tomorrow. That's right, yes
- 32:00to say, though I have not I haven't heard of Lee, but my
- 32:06mind says no, he's been cho long. Final battle is around the corner
- 32:12in a month's time. I think some joke, uh s if he's serious
- 32:17about contending for the championship with him Jef, he's got he's got to get
- 32:22that big w But I I did like the part about the Shane Taylor stuff.
- 32:27I think that's where Keepeple get caught in the match and that'll set up
- 32:30uh my match. Then we'll have a final battle. Yeah. You know,
- 32:37here's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that Keith Lee does win this and
- 32:44by doing so, he could go to r o H and actually defend the
- 32:50title on Ring of Honor television because it's been five months. Since over five
- 32:57months now, I believe since Somemo Joe has defended the Ring of Honor television
- 33:01title on Ring of Honor Auto Club TV, So it kind of doesn't make
- 33:07any sense. Frankly, SOMEO Joe is better used in AW than an r
- 33:13OH to begin with. He's gotten the record, there's nothing left for him
- 33:16to prove. So let's get somebody else in there. And even if you
- 33:21want to have Keith Lee even come and defend on defend the r o H
- 33:28title, should he win it on a WTV. Who's the perfect person to
- 33:32go against Keith Lee than anybody else at AW for the r o H TV
- 33:38title other than somebody that we've been begging, begging for them to do some
- 33:44kind of something, right, Rollins Swerve Strickland whose house. I'm sorry,
- 33:52but that ship has sailed sale, But it has, And you're right,
- 33:59you said that a few weeks ago. You know that the ship is sailed,
- 34:02but it doesn't mean that it can't come back to DOC. It's long
- 34:09out to see l the planet. The planet is a sphere, so it's
- 34:19gonna come back eventually. It got lost in andre it got I think I
- 34:28think the ship might have sung and I might have hit an iceberg or something.
- 34:30Yeah, so we're gonna go like the Stubber eight. We're gonna move
- 34:37on to the decks, but then we're gonna do something we don't normally do
- 34:39on on ignition, but we're gonna go ahead and do a pot pourri after
- 34:43this. Next segment is a segment for those of you who have never done
- 34:46it before, where you could basically talk about anything in a w something that
- 34:51covered another point. I'm sorry before moving on one point about Ley, sure
- 35:02if I just looked it up. Keith has had only eleven singles matches in
- 35:07a WOW. His last two words watching matches on clusion. Last seviously that
- 35:15he had was against christ Jericho in April on Dynamite fourteen minutes, and so
- 35:22like, yeah, he's like wrestle collectively our maybe in the eleven matches,
- 35:30Oh yeah, yeah, rough going but yeah rough Yeah. A lot of
- 35:39the longest matches he's had were probably when he was uh tag team champion with
- 35:45swerves. Yeah yeah. So let's move on because Mark Briscoe had stated pretty
- 35:52emphatically last week that you had no respect for Jay White because Jay White has
- 35:58is carrying around the belt that he didn't win. And I have a question
- 36:02for run off the bat am. I I'm pretty sure didn't. It was
- 36:10going to be MGF against the Guns for the r OH Tag Champions, but
- 36:17didn't. Isn't there going to be a partner now? Yes, you think,
- 36:22And it's weird because Mark Briscoe won't wrestle a tag team with anybody other
- 36:30than his brother, so it's not going to be Mark Briscoe as the partner,
- 36:32even though it would be a perfect partnership. So whatever, But we'll
- 36:42I mean, so we got Mark Briscoe and you know, going against Jay
- 36:46White tomorrow night. Obviously they're not going to give Jay White a loss going
- 36:52into a pay per view, at least not a clean loss. But there
- 36:54could be some shenanigans. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised to see MGF.
- 36:59I do hope, for Andre's sake, that we do see MGF tomorrow
- 37:01night in some kind of crazyiness because Andre is going to be there at Portland
- 37:06tomorrow night. Can I interrupt you very quick? Yeah, MGF is defending
- 37:12the world title tomorrow against Garcia. That's right, But I'm talking about some
- 37:16craziness too. I mean, at that match, if people on the kangaroo
- 37:21kick, that's all I need to see. Yeah, k kangaroo kicked the
- 37:23ship out of j White. That's what I want to see. So and
- 37:27of course I hope that we don't do an outcast thing. We got so
- 37:30many people like the Acclaim that are that are supposedly having MGS back. You
- 37:36know, I don't want to see, you know, Mark Briscoe, MGF
- 37:40for whatever, come out by themselves. We got to have like a group.
- 37:45We gotta have a a pinnacle. Yes, the SeaBOS, you're supposed
- 37:52to be sharing a break with Rawlins, not me, Sea Boss, But
- 37:55what do you think? What's what do you have on the agenda of tomorrow
- 37:59night with the whole Briscoe and White, MGF car we gonna see MGF walk
- 38:04out of their with is the belt that he earned. I actually think what
- 38:10they're gonna do is they're gonna do what they did with Nyla Rose at full
- 38:15gear last year, and they're gonna have the fake the fake champion. I
- 38:22don't know why I quoted fake champion, the champion walk in with the belt
- 38:28and the champion, the real champion, walk out with the belt. I
- 38:34can very well see that happening. But they might pull a swerve on us
- 38:40and have MJF come in during the UH and have MJF come in during the
- 38:50j White Mark Briscoe match and steal his belt, and when and if the
- 38:54guns and Juice Robinson, you know, try to be like, hey,
- 38:59no, you did. A White's belt has the acclaimed jump them and so
- 39:04MJF could just walk out with his belt. Rollin's you got thoughts on UH?
- 39:08Do you agree thoughts questions Colens? I honestly I want to care about
- 39:16this match given that we know j White is going to win, because,
- 39:22like you said, Kelson, there's no way Jay White is taking a loss
- 39:29since he's facing MJF at full gear for the World Championship. I just don't
- 39:34really have any thoughts on this match. It doesn't excite me. I mean,
- 39:39it's not the match. I mean, he's not gonna lose clean.
- 39:43Jay White's not gonna lose clean. But there is all kinds of, you
- 39:45know, possibilities for chaos during this match and after this match. That part
- 39:51is true. I agree with you there, Kelson. I think MJF is
- 39:57good take his belt back, no, because we've seen mj IF try to
- 40:02do that, and Bullet Club Gold is just like, yeah, there's three
- 40:07of us and only one of you. So we're just gonna knock you out
- 40:13and take Jay White's belt act, you know, even though it's not actually
- 40:21j White's belt. But yeah, that's why. That's all I've got,
- 40:29hockey. What do you have to say here? Uh? Who is?
- 40:37It's Mark Brisco that he's up against, right, y'r Brisco? Okay,
- 40:42I mean the match should be fun. I don't really know a lot about
- 40:46the Briscoes, but you know, the little bit that I did see,
- 40:51they seem pretty fun to watch. I still don't really like the Bullet Club
- 41:00like an eight of you, because they just seem like another faction when they
- 41:05should probably be like a gang instead of like how the Jericho Appreciation Society was.
- 41:15That's a very good point, because to be honest, I want this
- 41:21match to be that the other members don't get involved and it's just j White
- 41:27being a cool bad guy because I like cool bad guys instead of bad guys
- 41:34are just like we have seven people against one person, because I don't see
- 41:37that as intimidating, you know, I like I want to be intimidated by
- 41:42like a by a cool bad guy. Very good point. Yeah, you
- 41:47know that before before Wolf before you come in here. You know, Aki
- 41:52said something there. What do you think about the Club Gold? Are they
- 41:57doing it right in era as well? I mean are they Are they a
- 42:05good or are they kind of a comedy team? It could be better.
- 42:10But I want to just go back to the match, my kid, real
- 42:15quick, because I don't understand. I don't understand it. Like you got
- 42:22all these guys who are bidding from jf's friendship. You know, you could
- 42:24have really booked yourself a match where somebody like Max Caster or the Kingdom guys
- 42:34go on against Jay White and they actually are able to get the belt for
- 42:38m JF. And now you know they could use that as a as an
- 42:43angle. Maybe they're gonna maybe that's how they're going to run this match with
- 42:46Brisco. Maybe he's maybe he'll lose, but he'll he'll be able to snatch
- 42:50the belt and and give it to him JF for storyline purposes. But yeah,
- 42:55Bullet Club Gold, I I mean I've I really enjoyed it, probably
- 43:00up until maybe two weeks ago. The whole angle, the whole run,
- 43:04the whole stable. Now it's just becoming redundant, it's becoming a little stale
- 43:08and it's just not really good. I can understand that go ahead here,
- 43:19I am. I might be the outlier here, but I am a huge
- 43:22Bay Club Gold fan. They are my favorite act in a W right now.
- 43:27It happened since like June, I love everything that see White overall.
- 43:32Oh he's second wrestler in a W behind Ken you So I love you White
- 43:37je in Supering. I wasn't a big fan of guns, but since they
- 43:42came out of many men, they converted me. I haven't accents even on
- 43:46them. I love that the go ahead A little talk right there? Okay,
- 43:59Yeah. One thing that I would like with the goal is I love
- 44:01their segments that uploaded to Twitter and you to a lot of those funny segments
- 44:07they do with the bad fact that you don't ever get seen on dynamite or
- 44:10collision. I wish they showing sight of themselves a little bit more or they
- 44:15are some of those segments because they're entertaining. But as an act, I
- 44:21think they're they're great, and you can see that Tony Hahn has so much
- 44:28faith in them because consistently that they're wrestling for twenty twenty five minutes or they're
- 44:35in the ring for like a good two quarters where match after match promo they
- 44:40do something. I've seen them live twice now how it actually eats them out
- 44:46there? Can they do all their antics? Everyone's behind them, So I'm
- 44:51a huge fan. In terms of match itself, was that it would have
- 44:55been a lot more sense for one of the people who are hying for I'm
- 45:00just friendship, whether it's Daddy asked whether the next pastor Anthony Bowen to get
- 45:04him the mat, because that would have made a lot more storyline sense.
- 45:07But like, I'm not gonna complain that Mark brisco is just because he's freaking
- 45:13awesome. He got injured. Story with him was always that he's now fying
- 45:22with that r O S TV champion ship. That's what had made clear.
- 45:25I thought he was gonna win when he faced, but he lost, and
- 45:30so the comeback story was always there for him, and he's like the he
- 45:36was like, go to the Keith Mojo, Matt. I think Mark Bristol
- 45:39was still that person who's gonna beat the Mojo because that's the story, and
- 45:45he's gonna he's do because that's that's the finel of the story that you have.
- 45:50He's already I want to have let me just break it real quick,
- 45:55Audrey, because we had Shane pop in here. Shaney, you hear?
- 46:01I sure as LM. Well, look we're talking about the Mark brisco and
- 46:07Jay White match real quick. Sorry, Andre I wanted to get shaded here,
- 46:09no problem, And we're talking about will Mark brisco help MGF get his
- 46:15stolen belt back tomorrow night. Look, we all pretty much agreed that there's
- 46:21basically no chance that Mark brisco is going to get a clean win on Jay
- 46:24White. But you know, I think we could also agree that there's a
- 46:29possibility some chaos. What do you foresee in this match? Oh man?
- 46:34Well the guys, sorry for running late. It's been a little bit crazy
- 46:37today. But I love and appreciate all of you. You know, to
- 46:39be honest with you, the Mark prisk I got caught in the caught on
- 46:43the back end of what Air was saying. Do I think that Mark Briscoe
- 46:46is going to assist in giving his belt back? Absolutely not. I don't
- 46:49think that's going to happen. I think that Jay White is going to carry
- 46:52that belt through full gear. If he doesn't win the belt at full gear,
- 46:55I would be very surprised because that seems to be the direction that it's
- 46:59had in Jay White is going to do the J White thing in terms of
- 47:02storytelling into the unforseeable future. That's my prediction. I can't see a reality
- 47:08because he's getting paid by Tony Connie said in media that he's incredibly comfortable with
- 47:14the way that he's being written for AW. That has to have stipulations.
- 47:16That means he has to have some stay in terms of how his story's being
- 47:20told, and also, you know, in regards to you know, how
- 47:22those belts are being disseminated. Not to mention, no one really has an
- 47:25idea, any ideas about the direction of the Bidding War twenty twenty four.
- 47:30I believe it's a work. Most people believe it's a work. I think
- 47:32MJF is gonna sign with AW into the unforeseeable, unforseeable future. But if
- 47:37he is not, the most logical thing would be to put it on someone
- 47:40like j White. I know a lot so that that's decisively split between the
- 47:44community because people don't quantify Jay White as an AW wrestler. He's very new
- 47:50Japan in that AW structure. But I do know that he's like incredibly talented
- 47:54and incredibly well routed, and he does have a place in this organization.
- 47:59Thank you for tossing that to me. Kelson, By the way, we
- 48:01though that would be andre Yes, I was gonna echo of what Air said
- 48:07about Bullet Club Gold. I do enjoy them a lot. They're hilarious and
- 48:12that many men entrance is low key one of the all time greatest entrances in
- 48:17wrestling. I do think that they could change things up a little bit.
- 48:22I still believe that Wardlow or somebody of his equivalents should join to kind of
- 48:29add more of an intimidation factor to the group, like a powerhouse role.
- 48:35They don't really have an enforcer of any kind that most wrestling groups have.
- 48:39And as far as the match goes, I think it's going to be a
- 48:43fairly standard match. I think it's going to be good and entertaining. But
- 48:47I do think Jay White will win and uh Brisco will have a good showing.
- 48:52But he will lose, and it's okay because he has been winning quite
- 48:55a bit since he's been in aw so no big loss for him. And
- 49:02if no one else has anything to add, we can move on to our
- 49:07three section. I did have something to add I was gonna say this to
- 49:13air, It's like, you're not the only Bullet Club Gold fan in here,
- 49:15because I am a huge fan of them myself. I've been enjoying them
- 49:21ever since Jy and Juws Robinson started teaming up with that whole Ricky Starks feud,
- 49:27and then they get to Collision, they're feuding with punks, they're feuding
- 49:30with their teaming up with Joe, then they get the guns, And first
- 49:35I wasn't a big fan of it, but then it started to grow on
- 49:39me, and I just think what Bullet Club Gold is doing is fantastic.
- 49:47So I just want to respond to Shane super quick. As much as I
- 49:54want to believe j White is going to walk out of full gear with the
- 49:59championship, I honestly don't. And the reason is because next yeah, next
- 50:06month, they're doing a pay per view in mjs hometown called World's End.
- 50:13Do you really think they would have j White walk into that pay per view
- 50:17in MJS hometown as the AAW world champion. Whoa whoa, WHOA hold on,
- 50:25I gotta you better be saying something to the say. I'm just gonna
- 50:30say something real quick. That's what that's what Tony con does. Look at
- 50:35what he did with the Acclaimed. He's burying his his vice presidents. He's
- 50:39burying the e vps right now in storytelling. That's professional wrestling. Look at
- 50:45the FED man like their whole entire they bid the FED historically, if you
- 50:47look at every WrestleMania, or if you look at every every major FED pay
- 50:51per view, they bury their talent in their home to hometowns. It gives
- 50:54context to their stories. It makes you believe that these people aren't Superman.
- 50:58Yes, I and I think it would be. As much as I'm an
- 51:00MJF. Mark, We're all Mark, you are, Yeah, we're all
- 51:05Mark. Said for any single one of you pro wrestling fans on this,
- 51:08on this that listen to us or here contributing to this podcast, if you're
- 51:12gonna tell me you're not a Mark, I'm gonna tell you're a bigger Mark
- 51:14than me. You know, Like, like they they need to give m
- 51:17JF his redemption arc some substance, right if they need to make j White
- 51:23look like the Nemesis of nemesies. Not to mention, the bullet Club has
- 51:28to be infalluable, infallible, That's what makes the Bullet Club such an imposing
- 51:32faction right good. When they showed up in Japan in the beginning of the
- 51:37Bullet Club, that that's they re They've revitalized, they reinvented new Japan par
- 51:42wrestling. They've done it for impact. Uh that that you know, aj
- 51:45Styles has hijacked everything except for the name and the fed ae w They were
- 51:49the outliers until j White showed up. They need to make continue to make
- 51:53this faction look like they're undefeatable until they could bring in talent that you know,
- 51:59makes them look feedable. You know, that's the whole point. You
- 52:00know, Rollins love you, buddy, I I I you know I.
- 52:06It's it's not any different, you know, it makes a lot more storyline
- 52:12sense, or it's just a lot more intriguing. Prior to first MG loses
- 52:20the title. That December thirtieth, is this opportunity to win back that pargant
- 52:23chip that's gonna secure that big mass, the pay day that he's looking out
- 52:30for. And that's that's I'm in the chase of trying that back the data
- 52:36for the new year starts. I think that's like such a more compelling story
- 52:39than him defending that world's against potentially it's like four or five people at this
- 52:45point. Hey, Air, I agree with you. Unfortunately for a w
- 52:50storytelling currently that's the low hanging fruit. But you know, to be honest
- 52:52with me, I'm a Rollins and I are both Cleveland Browns fans, so
- 52:57we're used to disappointment. So oh yeah, what's off? You're right,
- 53:07bull Gear would be a perfect time for Wardlow to make his presence known.
- 53:13White and yeah, Warlow join the Bullet Club. Warlow and you and you
- 53:23just hit on it. That's why I'm That's also why I'm saying m JF
- 53:28is not going to lose the championship because think about it, He's got Daniel
- 53:31Garcia tomorrow night on Dynamite, He's got j White coming after him, He's
- 53:37got Wardlow coming after him. You still have the Adam Cole storyline going on
- 53:43with the Kingdom. You've got Samoa Joe coming after him. I don't think
- 53:47you take the title off of him. Knowing that you've got all these people
- 53:52coming after m JF and his World championship, it makes no sense. But
- 53:58they're coming for the champion ship, not exactly for him. So Warlow specifically
- 54:08said he wants to go after m j S. Yeah, he's the one
- 54:12that's for sure. Well, person, I mean the whole angle is m
- 54:19JF is a d bag and he screwed everyone in a w He's a bag
- 54:25bag. I love him. So all right, guys, I think we
- 54:31spend enough time on this little storyline. We'll have more to talk about it
- 54:37after Dynamite tomorrow as we see how things unfold. Uh. And with that,
- 54:43we're going to move to the pre section where you can talk about anything
- 54:46related to Dynamite tomorrow. And if you guys don't mind, I start this
- 54:51because I have a bit of a personal story. It might be a little
- 54:54sad but has a happy ending. So basically, I was born in Russia
- 55:00and I lived there for ten years in the nineties and we were very poor.
- 55:05I had a ten inch black and white TV with five channels, and
- 55:09every once in a while they showed WHW Nitro on there and that's how I
- 55:14got into wrestling, and Sting became my favorite and to this day, thirty
- 55:19years later or not that much, twenty five years later, still my all
- 55:22time favorite wrestler. And tomorrow I'm going to Dynamite and I'm going to get
- 55:28to see him actually wrestle on his farewell tour for the first time in my
- 55:32life. And when I was eight years old watching him on my black and
- 55:37white TV, I had no idea that one day I would live in America
- 55:43and have money or have any opportunities to attend anything like this and let alone
- 55:49see Sting who is sixty four years old now. So I'm super excited.
- 55:54Like, and that's my put per re section. That's what I be looking
- 55:59on camp right. If you're watching Dynamite tonight tomorrow night for the CM Punky
- 56:04Trying, that's gonna be. Yeah, I'm gonna be Just to clarify,
- 56:14this is my fourth a W show. I did Cea Staying come out to
- 56:17support Darby back in January and Seattle when Darby won the TNT Championship, and
- 56:22I saw the segment live at Wressell Dream. But this is an actual match,
- 56:27so it's it's a little different still, So I'm excited about that.
- 56:32Uh well that's said. Let's move it on to s boss. What do
- 56:37you want to talk about? Okay, so what I want to talk about?
- 56:42I do want to talk about MJF versus Daniel Garcia. Does MJF going
- 56:49into full gear make this less of a match. No, I think Daniel
- 56:53Garcia will put in a good showcasing that might garner him a later or push.
- 57:00But the question on my mind, and I think on just about anyone's
- 57:04mind, is what version of Daniel Garcia are we going to see tomorrow?
- 57:07Are we going to see the Red Death or are we going to see the
- 57:13sports entertainer? Your thoughts. I mean, when he was cutting his promo,
- 57:22I think on Rampage last week, he started to call himself a wrestler,
- 57:27but then he caught himself and went back on it and said sports entertainer.
- 57:32So I think we are going back to that story. But for my
- 57:37potpourri, Red Velvet is back for the first time, and I don't know
- 57:44how long, I feel like it's been over a year or something, Okay,
- 57:51and she's facing Julia Hart. Do I think Red Velvet is going to
- 57:57win this match? No, because it's clear they're still trying to push Julia
- 58:00Hart. But I hope that they have some type of plan for Red Velvet
- 58:07because I've said this on other podcasts that we've done on here. Red Velvet
- 58:14is a very capable wrestler, and I think if she is booked correctly and
- 58:20gets the push I think she rightfully deserves, she could hold the TBS Championship,
- 58:27maybe even the actual Women's World Championship. Sure, she would have to
- 58:34gain more personality, I think, but I think she has the skills to
- 58:39do it. So I want to see what type of match she has in
- 58:45her return. Okay, what do you think? What's your potpourri? I
- 58:53don't really have one for Wednesday, but I do have one for the paper
- 59:00reviews coming up if I can. So I have a small Yeah, I
- 59:06have a small theory that if j White wins the champion that the Long Island
- 59:15crowd is going to boo him really loudly. And yeah, obviously then the
- 59:22person behind the devil mask will show themselves. It's gonna be m JF and
- 59:30we'll come back, all right. So, going back to what Sea Ball
- 59:37said, I'm going to just kind of emphasize the same thing. I'm excited
- 59:44for the Daniel Garcia m JF match, And Daniel Garcia just tweeted something that
- 59:47I'd like to share, and it's just this one feels bigger than me for
- 59:52Ricky, for private party for Moriarity, for Take for Anna, for Darius,
- 59:58for Ethan, for Action, for Stoke, maybe even for Sammy and
- 1:00:01Yuda. We take it back and we excuse me, we take it back
- 1:00:07and lead a w in the future the right way, restore the feeling.
- 1:00:12So take that as you may. Sounds like he's got some big plans for
- 1:00:15tomorrow. You're just that's a very good tweet. But m JF kind of
- 1:00:20belongs in that group too, I think, so yeah, yeah, it
- 1:00:23seems like omitting the guy he's facing. Yeah, you know, I what
- 1:00:30er, what do you want to talk about? So I had a little
- 1:00:34rent on next today after I saw the Don Kellis how graphic which had Yes,
- 1:00:42Kenny, Jericho, Ibugi and Paul on one side and the family consisted
- 1:00:46of only Don Kellis. That was a real graphic. I thought you,
- 1:00:52I thought that was a fake graphic that you put up. That was on
- 1:00:55Instagram today, So tweeted by aw official on all platforms. This wasn't better.
- 1:01:04It's not photoshop. There is no test, no Sandy, no Hobbes.
- 1:01:09It's just Doohn Challas. The forehead got is going against the entire world.
- 1:01:19Oh my god. I was the picture. I can't believe it Don
- 1:01:24Kallas versus Golden Jari show TK and so like I had like I just like
- 1:01:32I was genuinely annoyed by it. So I wrote down like eleven points of
- 1:01:37things that like, I despise about that graphic and everything else around the Don
- 1:01:40calls family feud. So one, I hate fact that keny Omega is not
- 1:01:45wrestling singles matches enough. Two, I hate that in the graphics Jericho is
- 1:01:52between the gold lovers. I hate the fact that a w never calls O
- 1:01:58Mega Bushi lovers. I hate that wait is there? Five has become all
- 1:02:06about donk On Number six, the main protagonist of the story seems to have
- 1:02:10shifted from Kenny to Jericho. Yeah, Dakesha got lost in all this.
- 1:02:16When the pairing first happened, it was supposed to be about elevating to Kesha
- 1:02:21to be a star, and now where is he? Number eight? The
- 1:02:24fact that the actual family members are missing from the graphic. Number nine,
- 1:02:30Why are we using a bushie in a street fight for first style? Let
- 1:02:35him wrestle a genuine match, just just a regular match. Every AW match
- 1:02:40has been like a street fight so far. Yeah, one of his biggest
- 1:02:45viral moments last year was a street fight where he blew up I listen,
- 1:02:52I'm gonna take a step back. Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking
- 1:02:54about. You strike me as a person that knows your crap about professional wrestling.
- 1:02:58You and I are going to get along just fine. When he called
- 1:03:01out Sam, he's ay, Remember, he's like, there's one person I
- 1:03:04want to fight. It's Sam. He's ay, like I want to fight
- 1:03:07El Generico is what he said. But God, well spoken, go ahead,
- 1:03:09finish, finish. I'm sorry, I'll have my time on the help
- 1:03:14Number ten, number ten, Why did Kenny need assistance from Chris car Oh
- 1:03:20and others? The elite is right there and not to tell me that point
- 1:03:22last week, which is very good you brought that up. We're here hangings
- 1:03:28here is why are you requiring Jacko's help? And then lastly, meek tenth
- 1:03:35is when Don Kellis stabbed Kenny in the cage match versus John Moxley and we're
- 1:03:40in November. Now, we're in November, and so yeah, that was
- 1:03:46not many rats boys. Absolutely all we know that you're not gonna watch Dynamite
- 1:03:53next week was think they're squirming like exciting. Shade is Shade is literally bouncing
- 1:04:05up and down in his chair. Go for it. Listen, I had
- 1:04:11my own Pope Prix thing, but I gotta throw this out there man,
- 1:04:13that those types of dialogues about professional wrestling is what makes podcasts, is why
- 1:04:17we do this. Right. Our whole entire structure is based off of things
- 1:04:21that we want to talk about. But those are things to talk about that
- 1:04:24are relevant to aw storytelling. I want to I want to dissect that entire
- 1:04:29list. I'm not we don't have the time. This isn't about that conversation.
- 1:04:31My Pope Pury for today is about Bullet Club recruitment. So I'm the
- 1:04:36Sea Boss and Rollins both know I'm a little bit of a like New Japan
- 1:04:41Mark as well. I'm a bullet Club specifically historian, and typically in the
- 1:04:46lineage of Bullet Club, we get to a point where they go heavy on
- 1:04:49recruiting. We have four members, right, the last major recruitment was the
- 1:04:54Guns. They don't have their residential big man. Who's it gonna be?
- 1:04:58And we know it's not gonna be. Both Paul White, because he could
- 1:05:00barely walk between the sheets to come out to say hey, I'm Paul White
- 1:05:04on the brig shoal. Let's get it, you know, like, that's
- 1:05:06not a thing. The most logical belief set would be that, you know,
- 1:05:14Bolt Club would recruit Wardlow and he would fit in that perfectly. It
- 1:05:17would be like when Bolt Club recruited Tomatanga they needed a big guy to get
- 1:05:23behind them. That wasn't bad luck fallet you know, you know, when
- 1:05:28the real rock and roller ran the club. I would like to see this
- 1:05:30start happening because the slower we go on that storytelling, the less relevant the
- 1:05:36club will be to how stories are told, you know, with those feuds
- 1:05:41in the future. So please t K Crapper, get off the pot and
- 1:05:45allow this thing to start cooking. Dude, that's my pelpourri. Okay,
- 1:05:49So now I'm gonna go with mine and I'm going to share something that Shane
- 1:05:54and I talked about last week and some of you heard, you know,
- 1:05:58privately. We've talked about it specifically on our ship talk on Saturday Night.
- 1:06:03But I think it's fun and the more I think about it, the more
- 1:06:08I'm convinced I'm right. And here is my theory. The man in the
- 1:06:14devil mask and if you guys, don't agree with me, You're totally wrong,
- 1:06:18because I'm about to lay it on the line for here. There was
- 1:06:25a couple of things. There was a couple of things we noticed about the
- 1:06:28man in the double mask when he first made his debut, when him and
- 1:06:33his well, he had his cronies beat the ship out of Jay White.
- 1:06:40First thing we noticed is that he's not as big as a professional wrestler.
- 1:06:45He's kind of a he's just not a big guy. Second thing we noticed
- 1:06:51is that when he went to grabbed the camera, he reached up with his
- 1:06:57left hand, So we have a smaller guy who was left handed. Next
- 1:07:01point, and this is what's gonna blow your mind, folks, hold on
- 1:07:08to your hats. The next point I'm gonna make is that last week aw
- 1:07:14signed released to go to a contract. And at that signing, we had
- 1:07:16released to go and Tony Khan, you know, and they did the whole
- 1:07:20you know, here, we're gonna sign the contract and yes we're gonna hug
- 1:07:24it out and you know, we're gonna tell each other we love you with
- 1:07:27know bilingually and whatever. But one thing that I noticed is that Tony Kahn's
- 1:07:33not the biggest guy in the world, kind of like the guy in the
- 1:07:38double mask, and when he signed a contract, contract was signed with his
- 1:07:44left hand. The person behind the double mask is Tony Kahan bank on it.
- 1:07:54Yeah, you've never seen the Devil and Tony conn in the same room
- 1:07:57together. It was me, JF. It was me all along. You
- 1:08:08can't bake on it. You have. You had me for a while thinking
- 1:08:14that you are going to say Don Kallas, which I think is very much
- 1:08:17possible seven feet tall compared to I thought. I thought you were going with
- 1:08:23Kyle O'Reilly. For a second, actually, honestly, for the very get
- 1:08:30go, I did rollins believe that it was Kyle O'Reilly. But let's move
- 1:08:33on. We're getting toward the end of the show. We're going to make
- 1:08:38one spicy prediction for Dynamite tomorrow night, and we're going to start with Sea
- 1:08:45Boss. Well, no, we'll go to Andre first. Let's go to
- 1:08:46Audrey. Make us Andrey is going to be there. Spicy prediction for spicy
- 1:08:53prediction, the outrunners are gonna squash Sting and Darby. Oh my, oh
- 1:09:04my god, I want to hug you right now. Oh my god.
- 1:09:09Okay, who hurt you Okay, grew up a poor boy in Russia.
- 1:09:18Steve Steing is my hero. And then he comes out there, brothers are
- 1:09:21gonna squaws thing. He's got to put people over on his way out.
- 1:09:29What are you drinking? I want? I got some guy? Oh God.
- 1:09:39By the way, you can also make a predictions, you know,
- 1:09:42if you want not Boss, go ahead, because I nobody's gonna be able
- 1:09:47to beat that one. I actually think that on Dina. My spicy take
- 1:09:58is that m j F is going to get his belt back with the help
- 1:10:00of the Acclaimed, because when he's got it, when he tried to get
- 1:10:04it back in the past, you know, the bull cup going like,
- 1:10:09oh we're three year one, we could just beat you up. But now
- 1:10:13Mjf's got some help from the Acclaimed, so it kind of evens the odds.
- 1:10:20All right, Rolan, you're a spicy take. Let's go ahead and
- 1:10:27say that Swerve Strickland absolutely wreck Hangman Adam Page with a steel chair tomorrow.
- 1:10:39Yes, are either of them even on the show tomorrow? Yes is hanging.
- 1:10:45We don't know. I think Serve is going to just in a backstage
- 1:10:49segment. Swerve is just gonna absolutely wreck Hangman with a steel chair. What's
- 1:10:56just hope that Hangman isn't either a holding his baby or be holding beer because
- 1:11:00that would be devastating. Hey man, no, not my beer, hold
- 1:11:12my baby. I need to mourn the death of my beer. Acky.
- 1:11:20What is your spicy prediction? I'll do you one better. Swear it was
- 1:11:25going to kidnap the baby. Oh I wish I was on camera because the
- 1:11:34baby never made it appearance. You know, So he's gonna be like holding
- 1:11:39a empty blanket or was gonna be like Ra's kid hang Man's Hangman's kid is
- 1:11:47all elite wolf. What is your spicy prediction? I don't know, Man,
- 1:11:59you got me floored. Uh I think, yeah, I guess.
- 1:12:04I guess they'll just be uh sarcastic and say Tony Storm is gonna come out
- 1:12:09and do a little show again. I don't know. Maybe during picture and
- 1:12:12picture how surprising? Maybe give peach anyway, Yes you have you have a
- 1:12:18spiky, spicy prediction. A spicy prediction. We see a third person get
- 1:12:26added to the Tony Storm Uh and uh, I'm black the women' champion Because
- 1:12:38I say that because they haven't officially released a graphic for that match yet.
- 1:12:42So I feel like somebody might get added. That's a good like a t
- 1:12:47You mean like a three way match? Right? Oh okay, I thought
- 1:12:53you meant For a second, I thought you meant join her faction, because
- 1:12:57do you have one? That's do I ever? First of all, Happy
- 1:13:02birthday, Tony Shavanni. No one did you get did you? Guys?
- 1:13:08Did we? Did we bring that up today? You know? God?
- 1:13:11Shut up, Tony. My spice prediction is that Keith Lee drops the mojo
- 1:13:15and I would love to see it. Yeah, why would Why wouldn't that
- 1:13:18would be awesome? I don't care. Well, I shouldn't say I don't
- 1:13:25care either way, because I love Mojo and I love Lee. I don't
- 1:13:29it. How do I say this without sounding negative? I wouldn't mind either
- 1:13:34man or winning. Hey, lew great. Let me tell you something about
- 1:13:40Keith Lee. His best match was uh during COVID with brock Lesnar in the
- 1:13:45FED and I I typically tried to steer myself away from this, but he
- 1:13:48stood toe for to bro with brock Lesner. Brock Lesner is one of the
- 1:13:51greatest athletes in history, and I'm not I'm sorry. I'm gonna say it.
- 1:13:56Played his day and Keith Lee literally rugged off a clothes line from him
- 1:14:00and made it look believable. It was an incredible match Keith Lee. If
- 1:14:05Keith Lee doesn't beat Samoa Jo tomorrow, I'm gonna riot Wow will would we
- 1:14:13would allyself? I could have run Kei Lee versus Samoa Joe when they were
- 1:14:16both in NXT. That would have been a fantastic match. I'm sorry.
- 1:14:20I know I'm not supposed to swear here, but the fact that Keith Lee
- 1:14:24is not a top guy is absolute BS. I didn't swear. I agree.
- 1:14:30Well, let me let me give you my spicy actually have too,
- 1:14:33but they're small. I think that both the Birthday Boy and the Birthday Girl
- 1:14:39tomorrow Night are going to win. I really do. I do believe Keith
- 1:14:42Lee is going to win, and I do believe Julia Hart is going to
- 1:14:45win. The second part of my spicy prediction is I absolutely do believe that
- 1:14:49if not Tomorrow Night, then on Collision, more likely on Collision, maybe
- 1:14:53even on rampage. Because when it comes to the TBS Championship, Tony Kahn
- 1:14:58waits until the last second book it for for a pay per view. He
- 1:15:01will book it for the pay per view. It's going to be Chris Statlander
- 1:15:04defending against Sky Blue and Julia Hart in a four and the winner of the
- 1:15:14match will be Julia Hart Bike. Actually I like that idea a lot.
- 1:15:18Yeah, that's a great idea. Yeah, I don't. I would pay
- 1:15:23good money to see that match. I would pay good money to see Willow
- 1:15:27win that match. Well, you missed. You missed our poll thing that
- 1:15:31we did, Shane and I want to reiterate this. We did a poll
- 1:15:34on a w fan hub reddit YouTube. Well let's not let's not repeat ourselves.
- 1:15:42Let's Shane hear the episode from the beginning. Hey man, I'll wrap
- 1:15:47around. We're good. We did think of you when we were talking about
- 1:15:51that subject, so yes, we yes, we were. We were like,
- 1:15:54what could be the worst possible scenario, Shane wrestling, But no,
- 1:15:58we're not going to get that. So you are awful. I love you
- 1:16:00all. Would I would have said me wrestling, But as Andre can attest
- 1:16:08to, I was on TV kicking the ship out of Disco Referno in two
- 1:16:14thousand, So you're an a team. I was a tag team. I
- 1:16:17was I should be at the w W well WCW slash, w W Hall
- 1:16:23of fame for kicking the ship out of out of uh Disco inferno. But
- 1:16:27anyway, that is ignition for tonight. Be sure to join us tomorrow night
