  Speaker 2: Oh you.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Here in Orlando.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I'll send the jacket for us.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Seeze was actually jackets here. We actually got like up
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to like twenty today. It was kind of bomby. But anyway,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: let's talk to a W guys. The first topic that
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about is one that I put
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: on the well on all of our social media, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I asked the following question, and it's not coming up
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: on the graphic. Oh boy, let's see here. We are
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: having all kinds of technical issues tonight.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: It's the excitement of live broadcasting.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm just going to go back to this graphic.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to start that over again. The first thing
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about is something that I actually
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: put on Barryer making a whole ton of noise. I'm
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: going to start over again. This is something that I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: put on the subreddit and the different social media networks,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and that was to ask about specifically the TBS Championship.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Now we're going to talk talk about the TNT title
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and we're going to talk about the main event situation,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: but I asked about the TBS Championship, and the question
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that I asked was who's next? Who's going to be
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the next person to hold the TBS Championship. The results
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: were really interesting because there's a lot of people were
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: talking about names that we haven't seen in a while,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like Rijo, at Hakaroshida, Nila Rose, But for the most
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: part it was Athena, Queen, Amanada, and well sky Blue.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Then there were but there were hundreds of responses, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: those three really got the most. There were so many responses.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: What do you guys think? Who do you think should
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: be next to hold the TBS Titlesh.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: My answer, Yeah, I gotta agree.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, it seems like she's got the momentum and
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the fans certainly seem ready to strap her up with something.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: But there's other good options too. But I think right now,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Megan seems like the most logical, But when Amanada comes back,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got some some sizeable ladies that can
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: really throw down and Amanadas you know, she's she doesn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: have the thickness some of the others do, but she's
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: she is a tall lady as well, and I would
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: love to see her tying it up working some stuff
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: matches in there too.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah that I was going to say, Amanada is not
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the most muscular, I guess is what you're probably trying
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to say. Yeah, she does, she does. She looks like
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: an athlete, an Olympic athlete. Not necessarily, yeah, not necessarily
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in the weightlifting or power.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: The field events class of track and field where the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the Megan Banes maybe hammer thrown shot putting stuff.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: The thing.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The thing about Amanada is that she's just such a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: good striker, you know, she.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Is utilizes the long limbs and he quickness really well.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: It makes her an interesting matchup or someone like a
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: making thing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: It's like Almanata can throw three make and throws one
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and they're at a stalemate kind of deal, just that
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: back and forth for like, you have power, I've got speed,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Let's see who wins.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Right, I Mean. The only thing that I don't really
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: like about Amanada, and this is nitpicky is. I absolutely
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: hate the way she does her head butt, and she
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: does her head butt every single match. It is so awful.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, the way.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: You're gonna say chocolate kisses.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Chocolate kisses is one of those things where the rustl
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: who takes it looks stupid, but she does it fine,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you know, but it's fun. It's a fun move, but
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you know it's it does look kind of preposterous. But
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the headbut I mean, she winds up and she slaps
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: her thigh so obviously on everyone. It's like, that's not
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: how you do. I mean, it is awful, It is awful.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: So she got to work on that a little.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: She's got to work on hiding the thigh slap because
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and her thigh slap is loud. I don't know what
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: she really. I mean, she winds up and she hits
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that thigh slap and it sounds like a gunshot, you know.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I mean she isn't a clear to you arena one
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of these times, you know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: So yeah, there's some other fun options in there too.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I think the TVs title division should be where some
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: of the newer performers are too. So Megan is good
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: in there. I'd love to see them keeping Zeta Steele
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: when she kind of gets up to speed right sky
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Blue like. It is also mentioned some of the folks
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: that don't really have programs up on the top part
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: of the card, that's where you can slot them in,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: you know, even Lean Across when she starts going that's
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: why I want to see in that division.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Lean Across was mentioned almost as many times as the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: other three that I let it with.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I would have put Alex Winsor in there too, but
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: she's in the tag division now, and that's I think
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: one of the issues too, is like some of the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: people I'd love to see I don't like double champs either.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I know that's I think Calson you said you don't either.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I don't like some folks. Yeah, I don't either. But
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: some of the people who I would have I would
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: have put in there are they're tag champs now or
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: in the tag division.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what's weird? Barry brought up Alex Windsor
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Nobody and I'm not that I saw on all the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: social media's nobody said Alex Windsor.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I think because she's in the tag team with Jamie Now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: People were saying Rio and Karshida Britt Baker.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I think that's the thing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they've not even been around, and yet
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: they didn't mention Alex Winders winsor who has been around.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I have to ask I have to ask this. You know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we had the four way for the TBS Championship on
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Dynamite last week was Willow Nightingale, Marina Shafir was the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: three m's Marina Shafir, Mina shri Kala and Meghan Bain.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Was anybody disappointed in the results of that match?
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Uh? Do you want to kept outs on that? Or like,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: what's the framing here?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Sorry, are there caveats to that or framing? Or is
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: it just like.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: No, just no honest question. I mean I've said last week.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I mean on the podcast, I had said that. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: think I said it for the last two weeks. It's
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: time for for Willow Knight got to lose the TBS
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Championship simply because, like Barry and Chris said earlier, I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: just nothing against will I just don't like any wrestler
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: in aw holding two aw belts. It's a waste. She
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: needs to lose one and Chris.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Chris, Yeah, that's kind of where I am. I'm disappointed
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: because will One I love, she was fantastic, wonderful. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: loved the fag Bread. They are great teams. But like
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: you said, it's the double champions things. I understand why
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: she won it. It was how she wanted it. What Mercedes,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: you know, go off and take a little bit of
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: a break after pretty intense, Like I don't think people
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: realized she was doing a lot as well as aw like,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: so it all worked her there. But yeah, it should
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: be a shorter term run. It should be a shorter
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: rin you know, drop it to a good heal make
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: in vain is my choice, you know, Like I think
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: she's great. She can go along in kind of help
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: build the division as a TV title. Like that's I've
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: spent time and time again, That's how I went to
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: TBS and T and T right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I the I've said this a couple of times
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: and I think others have mentioned it too. The the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: mid card belts are the learning on the job belts
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: to see what this person looks like as a champion,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and I did. I enjoyed the four way. I didn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: care for the finish I don't have a problem with
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Willow retaining. I'm certain they're gonna they're gonna move that
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: belt off for soon. I just I didn't care for
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: how they did the finish that there's better ways to
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: do that. But I do notice something they're kind of
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: building here with Willow, and there's some parallels in the
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: main events seat and that's the exhaustion of being a champion.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: And if that's going to kind of be the way
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: you start telling these stories, I'm there for it. Willow
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: has mentioned how hard it is, how many mattress She's
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: having such a short period of time, setting up that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: inevitable she just didn't have anything left because she's defended
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: eight times. Like these champions eventually should lose because they
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: just they can't keep it up. Constant challengers bam like
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: mgf's got five people lined up. Willow's defending all the time.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: That's what I want to see, and that's kind of
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: grounding a little more real sports stuff, like a champion
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: should lose because they're ground down in addition to just
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: losing to a superior opponent.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Then right, Well, another thing that we saw on Saturday
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: on Collision was the return of thunder Rosa. She wrestled
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: in what I thought was a really good match against Heart.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I thought they both looked great, they both played off
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: each other really well. It was just a good match.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: What do you think about thunder Rosa. Do you think
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that she's going to be in the TBS Championship picture.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Do you think that she's going to be in the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: World title picture, or do you think that she may
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: get herself a tag team partner and get into the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: tag team title picture.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Well, when it comes to the Willow, I would rather
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: see them lose the tag title than the TBS title.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I think she's a better TBS title holder than she
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: is a tag title. As for Thunder I'd like to
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: see her in any of them because when she wrestles,
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: she's so good and she does so well. It's just
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: sad that she's been gone for so long and injured
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: all the time.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing that I yet to be cautious about.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if you guys feel this way,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: but she has missed so much time due to injury.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Do you work her back in slowly and not put
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: her in a title picture at all?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: For a while, That's what I was gonna mention is
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I think at this point, let's just get Rose on TV,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: let her get her reps, let her get that rust off,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: getting a little better into shape. I mean, she's typically
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: a pretty small person, and you know, coming off for
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: an injury where you're not able to train and do
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: everything you want, it's gonna take time to get her
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: back to where she wants to be in that confidence.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see her thrust into a title
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: picture right off the bat. Let her build, let her
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: cook a little bit, Let the fans get back behind
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: her and rebuild that reputation, because she can get heat
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: and she can get people behind her real quick when she's.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Cooking exactly right. All right, Chris, what do you have
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: to say?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I think they're positioning her as a future world title contender.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's gonna be one of those deals where
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: she's gonna work her way back to that title match
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: and shake off that RUSS get back into peak, you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: peak physical shape and ready for a title match slowly,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Like it's not gonna be, Oh, she's challenging your revolution.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Now it's gonna be she's challenging you know at all
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: in or something, you know, because they could do the
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: filled up when the Owen run with her.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to quickly go to the TNT Championship,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: which right now I think it is I'm in my
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: opinion it's weaker than the TBS Championship right now, it's
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: kind of kind of lost its luster a little bit.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: With look Fletcher brought really elevated the championship. I don't
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: think Brisco did as much with the championship as he
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: could have, and Champa just didn't have it that long
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: enough to even have an opinion about him. But who
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: do you think is contenders for the TN t T title?
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Easy one is my favorite spitzer in the Continental class.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: It given and you know Fletcher, that's the mast Plesser ship.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Win back gives them. His win back gets them a
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: nice challenge. Uh you know from there, I think it
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: needs to be just him defending like he wants to
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: do that the most title defenses. He just missed out
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: on it his last run, so that becomes his mission, right.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: He tied for it, right, but he couldn't break it. Yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: he tied with Darby, I.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Believe, right, I think I think so.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was dark.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I have to look it up for sure, but that
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: sounds right.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I'd like to see Kevin Knight get it. I've been
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: a big fan of his. I think the tag team
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: with speedballs holding him back. I want to see him
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: shine a little bit more so whenever they wrap up
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: the Jet Set Rodeo storyline and him and Bailey do
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: some more tags, I'd love to see the two of
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: them end up going for the title somehow. And then
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: that's where I would turn Kevin Hurt or not Kevin
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Hurt Kevin Knight. I want to see we ken.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Well Kevin Harkin with the Rock to go for the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: tag team title.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he's.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Oh lord, now the Rock will look a lot like
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Shelton Benjamin. Do you think, I don't.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: Know, the whole lot Like we were talking, we were
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: talking earlier about how you want to see people get
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: tired or lose the titles because they're worn down.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I don't, I don't know.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: It just doesn't seem like that's gonna happen on the
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: men's side as much as it would on the women's side.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: And I don't, I don't. I don't like that idea.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: I think that's a little bit it just makes it weird.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: I would like to see maybe Sheldon Benjamin getting the.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Running for that. Uh, even Bobby Lashley.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: I would love to see you, Bobby last week, get
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: a shot at the TVs the t n T title.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: I think that will be a.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Hell of a match.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: But I don't know. There's so many Do those siys
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: need the belt? Those like I, they don't like. I
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: don't disagree with that. I'm just like, should you go ahead?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: It's not even about needing the belt.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: It's getting like, if you want to keep the belt
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: on Fletcher and let him push it further, give him
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: matches against guys like Sheldon Benjamin.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: They don't have to win it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: They can put they can help put Shell, they can
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: help put him over. I mean a match between To me,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: and I've said this before and I'll say it forever.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: To me, Shelton Benjamin is one of the most talented
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: guys that I've ever seen wrestle. And I've been watching
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: me and Kelsel have been watching this, this, this this
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: thing for a long time, and he has always been
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: one of my favorite wrestlings because he can go and
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: just do so many things in the ring, and it's
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: so amazing. I would love to see him go in
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: and go up against Fletcher. I think that would be
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: a hell of a battle. Even if Sheldon doesn't win,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: it just push Fletcher to the ultimate level that he
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: can get him to.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: And the same with Bobby.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Bobby is a big guy and he can go and
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: I think that would be I'm getting kind of tired
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: of seeing the same people going for those titles all
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: the time.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Very very very good point. That's something that I was
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: going to say, I really don't want to see now
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that Fletcher is the TBS T TNT title holder, I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: don't want to see him going against Briscoe again. I
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: don't want to see him going against like even somebody
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: like Darby. I do want to see him go against
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight, Ace Austin, you know, Shelton, Benjamin,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Bobby Lashley again. They don't need to win the belt,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: but they can get in there and you know, have
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: some scraps for it, you know, bringing Mystico, bringing the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: amaskara dorata. You know, I want to see a variety.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: It's something that I've been thinking about, which would be
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: it's going to depend on how they do this. Whole
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: don Kallis name, because if you notice, they're drawing this
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: whole don Kallis battle between each other out and out out,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I would like to see somebody from the don Kallis
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: family maybe challenging for the type.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Problem with that. The problem I have with that
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: something is that I'm worried that it's gonna get to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the point where it just seems like it's been done before.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Don Kallis family, Uh death writers, We don't need to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: say that over and over again.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Well, and to me, it's gonna depend on how they
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: how they play the don like takea is he gonna
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: be in? Is he gonna be out? When's he gonna
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: turn from the donk cal you know that kind of thing.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: It's gonna depend on how they the don Kallis family
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: falls in that in that thing? Are they all is
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Takesha gonna be on his own? Is some of them
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: gonna go with Tim? Some of them go with the rest?
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: And and and that's the thing that I think is
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: holding that back. You've got the don Kallis family is
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: starting to resemble the uh, the Wolf, the nd W.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: There's so many of them that you know what I mean,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: You can't have that many.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Guys and and get them involved in everything that's going on,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: because then it becomes nWo style everything and it just
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: becomes boring.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: All right, And we're still be talking about putting a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: woman in the donk Alse family because they're literally the
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: only faction really that doesn't have a woman in it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Like, when are we going to get Classic Versus Wolf
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: packed on Tallis Family? Oh yeah, well we don't need
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: at all. It's I'll just say.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: The money are we I don't know if we are.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Well, Look, I want to move on. We'll talk about
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the main event scene maybe next week, uh, because I
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: don't want to spend the entire show on this because
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: we did have something that happened on on Dynamite last week.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Where I love this graphic that great.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: But you know, Swerve Strickland turned heel. And it's weird
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: because some people, and I've noticed on you know, on
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the Reddit and on the discord and whatnot, have kind
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: of said that that they don't believe that Swerve Strickland
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: is peel, And I'm like, how do you guys feel?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's one hundred percent heel.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: He seems pretty He attacked a man for no reason,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: and his reason for wanting to fight him is that
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: he was out away because he almost died. He's always
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: been at heel. He deserved to have his herd house
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: burned down. And I hope all the bad things in
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: life happened to him. And I mean that in case
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: in terms.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how anybody cannot think swerves a heel.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I understand leading up to this there was some tweeter stuff,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: like you could see them planning the seeds, his aggression,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: his anger, he the redemption arc that he went on
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: with Hangar threw all in like after all in this
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: has slowly even building and when you meet somebody up postmatch,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the biggest baby face like that without any other like
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: to to your point, without without any other motive there, like,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: that's total heel work. Like he he took Kenny Omega out,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: So I don't I don't see any ambiguity left where
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: the story goes. That's part of the ride. But I
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: mean he he made his batman.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I want to break in here and just we've had
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: some comments from the UH from the chat from Conrad,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: from the Everything pro Wrestling podcast. If you've never listened
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to them before. They do a podcast on Monday night
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: before Raw. I believe it starts at six o'clock right
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Conrad and about that time, and then right after Dynamite
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: they do another podcast and you can listen to them
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: on YouTube at EPW show on YouTube. It is on
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: your screen right now. If you're looking at it on
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: your PC or watching on YouTube, you should see it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: But it's at EPW show. Please go listen to them.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: They are a lot of fun. I enjoy listening to them.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I enjoy interacting with them. They have a lot of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: people in the chat. It's very lively, and just go
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: and support our friends at EPW show. And I'm sorry
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: to take it on one question I wanted to ask,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: do you see hangman ad and Page Joinings were stricklin
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: and all this?
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Hell no, not against his buddy kN I would I
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: would see coming back and going against Swerve again, which
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: again will be something we've seen enough already.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: But I hope they stay.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: I hope they keep them away from me.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I thought this was going to end up with the
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: two of them as tag teams, as tag team champs
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: at some point, and then that would be a split
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: for their feud. But I don't really want to see
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: let me let me be very carefully here. I love
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: watching those two guys wrestle. I think their magic, but
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I think we need some more time before they butt
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: heads again. So maybe Hanger is the final boss of
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Swerves feud with the Elite or whatever is left of
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: the Elite, but I don't I hope they don't rush
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: that because we've seen it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I want to see a match where Swerves Strickland has
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: a tag team partner if it's or it's a three
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: way whatever, and Hangman add and Page is in it,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and Hangman adda and Page assists Swerve and they become
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: a tag team and go on to win the Tag
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Team Championships. I really do. I really want to see
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: hang They don't have to be huggy and slapping, you know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: high fives and all that, but they need to be
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: a team. They need to go and get the detag
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: team tag team belts. They need to take the obviously,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: they need to take the Trio's belt off off of
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Jet Speed Rodeo or whatever the hell they call it,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: which which I think is not very good. Uh, And
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: there's Conrad joining us. How you doing, Conrad.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Good evening, Good evening, everyone.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Good evening, Thanks for joining us. I'm sure you've been listening.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: We're talking about Swerve Strickland and uh kind of just
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: brought up the idea of maybe Swerve and Hangman forming
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: an alliance and going for the tag team championships in AW.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: I really like that this or last week's Dynamite, you
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: were able to put intrigue on things that you were like, well,
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: you know, Kenn, he probably won't be around for revolution
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: if people are, you know, snooping around online and trying
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: to figure that stuff out.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Swerve turns here.
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: You also had the Hangman page and MJF stipulation scenario
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: where it went from a match where I even said
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: this on my own podcast, where it was like, ooh oh, it's.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Hangman and MJF again too.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: Whoa hold on, he's putting this, He's putting the title
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: shot for the rest of his career on the line.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: I'm interested, now what could happen here, because, like you said,
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: they could join up, Swerve, could cost him to become
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: the biggest heel in AW.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: You could even have it. There's so many options.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Swerve could make it to where Hangman doesn't lose that match.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Mm hm.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: That match. What if Swerve causes Hanger to lose.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Maybe the most hated man for sure would be the
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: most man by.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: His heel stack.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: So Kelson to your your your yinion Yang tag team,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: so to speak. So it makes my vision, you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: still still happen, just differently. What is that just like
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: a business arrangement where Hangar stays faced and Swerve his
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: heel and we just kind of see the interesting dynamic
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: of that or how do you see that plane out?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I kind of think I kind of see it like
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: as a belt collector kind of thing. Maybe Hangman does
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: get disqualified, technically does not lose the match, technically does
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: not have to remove himself from the World Championship.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: They could go I don't know, it could be a
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: tite woman draw whatever you know, when in his match
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: with MJF. But my point is is I think that
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Hangman and Swerve will go and at the tag tag
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: team belts and then they will go and get go
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: and team up and become a force and in the
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: UH in the World Championship title reign. Also keep in
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: mind that people had spotted Prince Nana holding a Mongol.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I have to I have to say the Mongol Embassy
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: for our friend Caleb outside of the Mogo Embassy the Mongol. Yeah, yeah,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: we had we back in the day. I don't know
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: if Sutton was around the back then, but but we
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: had a had a podcaster named Caleb, really great guy,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: really great guy, and he made a Freudian slip and
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: called the Mongo Embassy the Mongol Embassy, and it just
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: the whole podcasts fell apart. It was the original, It
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: was so it was so funny. It was we started
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: making graphics with you know, like swer Strickland leaving a
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: bunch leading a bunch of Mongols on horseback. You know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: it was like the ultimate inside joke.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Horseback would be terrifying. Like if he you know, the.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: One thing that we're kind of overlooking, And we talked
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: about this a little earlier, but you know, I think
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: King Man is gonna lose this match, and I think
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: he's going to turn in that that might set him
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: down the road again to if you know, you're talking
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: about those two teaming up. It either sets him on
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: the path to the T and T title or sets
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: him on the path of losing everything again and going
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: back on the ways he was before he became a
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: hero again. And maybe that's where he tags up with Swerve.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Regardless of what happens, I think he's losing the match
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: to MG.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: So all right, here's the thing, though, sudden and I'm
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: interested to hear other people, and I've I've heard and
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I've read and try to take in some opinions on
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: this from outside of our space too. Haner loses. He
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: can't go for the title again. How do you fix that?
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: That's what I can't figure out. He cannot be prohibited
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: from getting the title. So down the line is you
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: have to fight to earn that right back in a
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: situation match. But then he's out of the title scene
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: for how long?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know you have the TNT title, you
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: had the trio titles, you have the I mean, he
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: could go for the continental title, he could go for
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: there's like fifty titles that they have for the men,
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: and you could go for all of them. I mean,
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: it's not where he's out of a title hunt. He's
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: just out of the world title. And it's you know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: if they would have lost last summer, they both would
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: have been out of it or not them, but it
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: would win. They went and swerve in the and uh,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: I can't think of his name when they put their
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: their chances of being in the title hunt on the
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: line with the my brain died again. But you know
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying, they had the exactly they had that
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: once before, and you know h it To me, it
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: makes sense that if he's gonna make that offer, they're
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: doing it to get him on the road to one
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: of the other titles. I think him and versus Fletcher
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: would be a great run. To think about it, I
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: think that would be one hell of a run because
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: you have a really really two of the top guys
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: in the game right now in ae W going for
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: a title, and it would be more powerful than anybody
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: else at the time.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Being the first wrestler in a W to hold every
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: men's title.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's true.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: So he would need the Continental, he would need the international,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the national and international.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I am not.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Really that can keep him busy for years.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I just like, you really have a hard time taking
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: what is arguably your top babyface out of the main
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: events scene in perpetuity, Like I you better have a
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: really good creative plan, Like I really struggle to see
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the upside.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: And look what it did. Look what it did the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Cody Roads.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't want because like then, like here's here's
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: the bigger problem. You cannot put hangman in main events
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: scenes right now because nobody he's not a contender, So
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: what's the point of having him with them at all?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: And I think that's it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Could put him in the own heart because he can't
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: win it. He can't win it, right but.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Bat Yeah, yeah, out of all of that stuff.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let Conrad chime in here.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: No.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: I was just it's a good thing to think about too, though,
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: because I think that's what ultimately did damage to Cody
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: as well, Like is there really a get out of
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: jail free? Or do you want your stipulations to mean something?
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Right? I'm like, there's so much more involved Conrad now
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: than back then too, right.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Like there's it's it's just completely different. And I
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: kind of like that AW sticks to their rules, like
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: when you watch, you get invested in it, and no,
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: that's it. He's not challenging for that title anymore unless
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: they have a way creatively in like two years to
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: redeem it.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Well, and that's why I say you use the deal
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: with him tasting after every title he hasn't held. If
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: he can accomplish that, maybe it's like Tony Collins said,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: you know what, you want to re earn your chance
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: to challenge for the world title. Do this amazing thing.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Become an absolute legend for this company, be the main guy.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Find not you know, by making all these other titles
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: mean even more.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: This seems like a lot of.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Cohanger to Cody. I think by the time Cody got
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: around to that he wanted to meet I don't think
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: he wanted to be in.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: A w anymore.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: I think after a month, I mean.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: It was very early that that happened later. I can
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: understand your point, but this was this is that was
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: a really weird choice.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was within like the first month.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. To address Barry's question about what do you do
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: with Hagard to get him back into the world title
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: scene if he happens to lose this match against m JF.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You put him in disguise. You put him in uh,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: you know, long pants with fake tattoos on his chest,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: paint the space and change his name. Change his name
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: to Hanghausen.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you get a bereat mustache.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Oh god, oh my god.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look we're coming after you.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, by I will totally. I do want to move on, though,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: because there's something that just happened. I think it was
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: announced yesterday that I think is very interesting, and that
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: is Ring of Honor is holding a show at two
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: thirty in the afternoon on Sunday. I can't remember what
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: what's the is it this weekend?
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I think it is, yeah, weekend.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Then it's weekend, and they're kind of testing the waters,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I mean to see if I don't think they're going
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: to be able to tape on Sunday every every week
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: simply because football season is coming up and you're there's
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: no way Tony con is gonna put r H tapings
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: against you know, against you know, NFL football. But they
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: tested the waters by doing these residents es in these
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: smaller venues with aw with you know, Hammerstein e Sports Stadium,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: you know, even the old ec W Arena.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Do you think that with all these new signings that
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: have happened and the dual contracts with CMLL, possible dual
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: contracts coming up with maybe do Japan even stardom, do
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: you think that it's time that Ring of Honor gets
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: its standalone show. Is this what they're working toward realistically?
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Do you think it would be on TBS, T and T,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: HBO Max or do you think it would be something
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: like True TV YouTube. I certainly think they need to
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: get away from Honor Club. I think That's where I'm
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: going with this. I think they need to get away
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: with Honor from Honor Club.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think True TV is probably the right landing
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: place for Rowing because if they go TBS or T
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: and T, it's probably going to be a late time
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: slot like maybe what Rampage got, maybe even later.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: That is true. I did read where I did read
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: where uh they were offered I believe on it. I
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: believe it was on True TV a ten o'clock time
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: slot for Ring of Honor, and Tony Kah turned it
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: down and now now they're doing like the Dynamite replays
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: at that time. Yeah, True TV.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: I think he's really hoping for a either you know
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: eight eastern seventh Central or at least nine eight Central
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: time slot like those extra or you know Prime view it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: There's a problem from a business standpoint here. I don't
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: see the value of Ring of Honor on those spots
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: on a major network. It's an unproven entity. They have
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: some draw on pay per view a little bit. But
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: when I saw the TV station and Jack Smith they're
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: going to tape this at I think a lot of
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: people have been asking for a aw Dark to come back,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: and I think this is going to be the equipal.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: This is the aw Dark studio show. This is what
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: they're going to be doing now, and it's going to
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: be Ring of Honor. They'll tape there probably once a month.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: They'll do five hours. I don't know how long they'll tape.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: They'll do four, you know, hour long shows. That would
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: be my guest. I don't think it's going to show
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: up on any cable channels. If it if it's on
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: a mediu Amount of Honor club, it'll either be a
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: subscription service on YouTube or free on YouTube, or I
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: could see it streaming only on Max where it's on demand.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I don't see where this fits.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: On prime video.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: I see on demand streaming like aw Dark was out
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: of the gate. I think it's really popular. Then it
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: can get a TV deal. But I want to get
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: this in front of as many people as possible.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd be fine with YouTube Prime or Max not
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: a YouTube suction, and you.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Can keep on there for the pay per views, you know, people,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: you know, it's ten bucks a month and you get
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: their their big shows or whatever. But right, I'd get
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: it on a streaming partner.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, yeah, I mean they can keep Honor Club
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: for the pay per views and also for the back catalog, which,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you, pay per views are great.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: The back catalog I personally don't watch it. You know,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody else here belongs to oanor
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Club and they've gone back and watched the back catalog. Frankly,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of the people that are in the back
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: catalog or either no longer with a w or they're
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: significantly older and not wrestling the same as they where
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: back when they were on that you know catalog. I
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: mean that catalog is pretty old. I mean, what didn't
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Ring of Honor just celebrate their what the twenty twentieth
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: anniversary or family? Yeah? But look I mean with the
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: twenty fourth Yeah, the I thank you, because look aw ed,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Ring of Honor really expanded their roster, and they've done
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: it smartly. In my opinion, They've gotten younger, they've gotten
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: more athletic, they've gotten healthier, so they can put more
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: wrestlers in Ring of Honor and get them work, much
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: needed work, and a Ring of Honor. I can understand
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Barry what you said about Ring of Honor being the
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: equivalent maybe of aw dark. However, I think the matches
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: need to be more meaningful and they will be because
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Ring of Honor right, Ring of Honor has you know,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: hasn't has the titles that they have, which is that
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: some of them you know are I mean Athena has
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: made that women's title something. The men's title is Bandido,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: and pretty much everybody that came before Bandido, like two
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: or three before him, they were good. So the least
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the main event that the main titles are really well done.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: The Trio's Championship, the the the television championships have blacked
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: a little bit as well as the pure championships, so
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: they really need to work on building those back up again.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: But Ring of Honor I think could be a very
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: good entity. I think that they I would say that
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Ring of Honor should they get a deal on a
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: channel similar to AMC. I think the Ring of Honor,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: based on just the star power tot AW has could
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: surpass TNA in their ratings. You know, two hundred and
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: thirty thousand, I think is very attainable. But you know,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: you have to wait and see in the in the
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: event that Ring of Honor does become a weekly show
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, it's kind of hard to say what when
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: they would take those shows, you know, and would Tony
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Khan if they did them on If they take the
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: shows on a Sunday, Tony Kahan would not be able
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: to do those shows.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Because you need a Sunday.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Well, it really depends on what type of the stay,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: if they stay in that arena and or that studio.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: It's it's actually called a studio. And if you know,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: if Tony Khan can't do it, who steps up? Bride Danielson.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, yes, I could absolutely see Tony saying, hey,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: this is you know, this is yours. Like I'm still
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: in charge, but I'm trusting you to make the best decisions,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: do what's right, you know, and right, well, there's really
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: something I think.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: It's time that we will.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think I don't think it'll be a
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: big deal. It's a public access radio. I'll not public access,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: but it's it's a public TV station, so that studio
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: is not on the demand that other areas might be.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: You can tape away weeks. Remember they're taping multiple shows
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: one day. The Jacksonville Jaguars aren't in town every week.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: They can easily tape on a Sunday if that's their day,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: during a bye week or in away week and get
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: a month or more worth of programming. They can tape
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: during the week. I just don't I don't think it'll
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: be logistically a big problem.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, the thing that I'm talking about here is
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: basically setting up a residency, a permanent residency, and of
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: course you could do many residencies throughout the years if
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: it gets popular, you know. So it's just it is
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: what it is. But I do want to move on
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: to our favorite segment of the show. It's a cafabe.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Last week our cover model was Eddie Kingston in a
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: ballerina costume, and the week before that wasn't that Julia
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Hard as a nun? Yes, I kind of felt bad.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Those are a little disturbing and I wanted to do
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: something more lighthearted, more cute, And when when you think
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: of cute Innae w what's the first name that comes
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: to mind, Eddie Kingston. Well, I just used Eddie Kingston.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to use the saying.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's it's the answer. I don't know what
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: you want.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Kazakazaki is good, sky Blue is good. But I've used
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: sky Blue already. Uh, I used read already. Give you
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: a hint here, I'm going with a man. It's a
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: male wrestler, Billy Gunn. Billy Gunn is cute, really he was, well,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Max Caster, you guys are way off base because when
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: it comes to a male wrestler in a w who
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: is just quote as a button, you could only be
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: talking about one wrestler, and that's Big Bill.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: If he sees this Kelson, he's gonna tear your arm
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: off and beat you with.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I have to. I have to.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: I hope people understand like, there's no there's no like logic.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: This is just random. It's no there's no story about picture.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I just gave a whole long story.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: I wanted to find.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: The cutest, the cutest male wrestler and make a cute
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: picture of him for the people that are for the
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: people that are listening to this on our audio podcast
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: and not able to see the picture. It's a picture
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: of Big Bill wearing a baby blue blanket, a baby
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: blue bonnet and sucking on a baby blue pacifier.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: And this and this needs to be a storyline.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: He's adorable.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: This has to be it. This, this is Itkelson. He
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: needs he needs to get hit on the head on
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: accident and when he wakes up, he's baby Bill. And
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: every time he gets hit on the head he reverses
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: those personalities.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: I would love for to be we we were.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: That was my initial pitch for the Tony Storm. That
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: was my initial pitch for Tony Storm, by the way,
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: between Timeless and the classic Tony Storm.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Remember when, Remember when when Big Bill had that absolutely
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: wonderful match in Cardiff. No matter what he did, the
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: crowd was behind him. We were doing a live chat
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: on the Reddit and everybody loved the match and they
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: were like big Bill, this Big Bill. That Reddit gave
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: us a warning for being for body shaping. Bill called
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: a big I would love for him to be baby Bill.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: So we won't we won't get I mean, is that
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: is that offensive? Calling somebody baby Bill?
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: So anyway, So so it's time for it's a it's
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: does anybody have a cafabe? What a cafabe is? It's
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: kind of like a pot pourri where we can talk.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: About anything that's happening in not only a w but
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: a brief thing about AWWW, a TNA startup wherever I
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: got one go ahead, Conrad.
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: I loved aw Collision this week. I thought the finish
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: to the show was fantastic. I heard so many people say, oh, no,
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: another eliminator match. Those guys never win. Well, there's new
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: number one contenders for the tag titles. They also found
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: a way to get old school heat where the young
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: Bucks' younger brother it was in the crowd. Stokely throws powder,
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: misses the dad. The dad's spitting on him. At the
• 47:51
  Speaker 7: same time, Cash is like, well we get all else
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: has failed the dad. Maybe he's not supposed to see,
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: so I'm just gonna shove the mom. The mom goes
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: flying down. It was just old school wrestling, Like what
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: studio wrestling are we watching right now? People are getting
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: attacked left and right, and then the younger brother gets
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: pile driven and I was like that was sweet.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: I was like, that's wrestling.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: There was a w C W kind of thing. But
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: it was done really well.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: It was like Memphis or Mid South like it was
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: just it was just a classic. Yeah, like it was
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: a it was a championship, Wrest.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: It was a moment territory.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: That yeah, yeah, like Memphis. Yeah, it was those kind
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: of like you had that territory.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you you could tell. You could tell
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: by when they got him up into that pile driver.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: It was a perfect position. And that's all on him and.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Their younger brother Wrest.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: No, it was good. It went involved and f tr
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: and you get some folks that want to have fun
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: and they love just doing fun stuff because it's fun
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: and they don't take it too seriously but seriously enough though.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: It's not like cliche, and it just makes finishes. It
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: makes finishes fun. There's been a nice trend lately where
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: they've gone off the air with some pretty big angles
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: and it's not always been like a serious story plot point,
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: but it's been a big angle and and the eliminator
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: went there, and the brawl at the end was it
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: was a really fun big angle and it really juics
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: the end of that show because collision could be kinda eh.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: But they've they've seemed to put a lot more effort
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: into that show the last few months, and it's the
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: ratings are going up and stabilizing, and I think it's
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: starting to pay off for him. It's the wrestling wrestling show.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Collision is definitely you know, for the I mean,
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: it's definitely the more wrestling heavy show, but it does
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: a good job of continuing from Dynamite and also building
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: its own stuff. You know, like, Okay, are we going
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: to see this happen? Are we going to see the resolution?
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: It's the tag team show.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: There's so much tamling any more setup. It's done a
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: good job of keeping both so interesting.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Does anybody else have.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: They still have their own focus?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: I love them. I love a good tegment. I have
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: one other tweet, ninety three percent short was MVP. He
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: mentioned he did a whole like what is more important
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: for like a top wrestler to have mike skills or
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: the work? One of those were I've picked work, but
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: not necessarily work rate more as in being able to
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: keep a crowd energer.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: I agree with you. I mean, you don't even have
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: to have good mic skills, which you have to do
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: or to be you know, engage with the crowd to
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: keep the crowd heelish baby face, you know, just do
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: it and you just become that that person. Because some
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: people are known for the promo work, some people are
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: known for the wrestling work. It's very very few that
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: are known for both. When you really think about it,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: it's very very few that are known for both.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: And I mean you look historically, it's not always the
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: greatest wrest alers, like the greatest you know, technicians, or
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: you know, the best high flyer in the world, or
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: the best submission.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: That's the fact.
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: I was just listening to that podcast right before the GLI.
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: I thought it was very interesting conversation and back and
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: forth a head about it.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: And keep the crowd involved.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Somebody asked Sean ross Sap in his Q and A
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: about britt Baker and her contract that he mentioned. It
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: got kind of convoluted the way that his answer came out.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: And I actually talked to Sean Rossap yesterday about this
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: and he was like, I don't understand how people can
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: get it get confused by this, and I agree with him,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: but the problem is is that people are aggregating him
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: and what he said and doing a really poor job
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: of aggregation. You know what I'm saying. They're like misquoting
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: him what he said. This is his exact quote he said,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna say it the way he said it.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of breaks in here, but so
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: it doesn't make a lot of sense. But this is
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: what he says. He said, so she could this is
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: not aggregatable, could be under contract well into twenty twenty seven,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: maybe even the I don't know. I mean, the guy's
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: obviously stating his opinion, you know, and h yeah, I mean.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, it's like, I really don't know.
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: This is what my rights this habit too, and I
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: think they need to get more comfortable noting when it's
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: conjectured and just saying that he said it's not aggregatable,
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: but like that doesn't mean anything.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: People don't understand that, right, Just say this is conjecture.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: This isn't a reporting. That's that's it.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Say that was.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: Four words, five words or whatever, and you avoid the problem.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: Alvarez make sure he does that in wrestling, reserve alive
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: when he's going on one of his rants or whatever,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: he says, I'm not reporting this.
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: I think people are gonna twist it no matter what though, Yeah,
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: because they don't like Dave or whatever. Because I always
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: tell people this, Yeah, Dave was wrong, and I hear
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: a thousand people get upset about it.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: But I said, what about when he's right? Do you apologize?
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: Oh no, I never see the apology when it was like, oh,
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: Dave was right all along. So I feel bad for
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: him and Sean sometimes when that stuff happens to him,
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: like well they were right, Yeah.
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: Well you put me out a culture just there's a
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: lot of conjecture and just doesn't say it and it
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: comes across as.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I think Sean. I think Sean ross App is really
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: good at two things. He's he's good at making sure
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: that people know that this is just my opinion, you know,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: that's literally what he says. And when Sewn ross App
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: gets it wrong, he's the first to say it didn't
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: happen the way I thought it was gonna happen, you know, And.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: He gets it right, he says, your boy who first
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: reported it?
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The thing I love about Sean ross App, though,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: is the punka thon he really goes after, because like
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: he goes after particular sites that like Ringside News don't
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: even get me started on Ringside News. Uh, I've banned
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: them from from all of our subredits because they're they
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: just spam that a lot of us and they show it.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: They well, it's not even that they they write these big,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: long stories and have Wrestling Observer said this. They basically
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: rewrite stories that somebody else has written. Now, we will report,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: and it's not really reporting. We will share reports from
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Wrestling Observer and from fight will select and from wherever
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: you know. But but we we credit who actually said it,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: who actually reported it, and we say and here's the
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: link to where you could here's the headline, here's the
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: link where you can read the story. That's how you
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: do it. You don't rewrite what they said and then
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: give them a credit at the end. That's to me,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: is just pathetic and misquote and misquote them the entire time.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: You know. So it's weird, all right? Anybody else have
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: a kefa?
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, I got one.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I got one.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: So I like to watch wrestling shoot interviews on YouTube
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: and I like them because I like finding wrestlers that
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: are good storytellers. And I've recently discovered Gregor Hammer Valentine
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Fantastic shooting interview. The guy tells stories just fantastic anyway.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: So I stumbled upon some Mark Henry shoot interviews. I
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: think they're relatively recent, and he told a story. I
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: don't know where the longer form is, but there's a
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: bunch of clips out there. And the story is about
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: a time early in his career where he had a
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: lot of heat with the Click and threatened Sean Michaels
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: And so there's there's a moment in there where I
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: guess he was hurt or something and they took his
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: crutches and Mark Mark was in there mad and Sean
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: said something to him, and Sean's like, are you threatening me?
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: Because Mark said, you know this won't be a fight,
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: I'll just kill you. And Mark's like, is that some
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: kind of threat? And just the way Mark Henry response
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: to Sean saying that, He's like, it's not not really
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: a threat, that's just how it's going to be. And
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: he just has that slow storyteller drawl. There's stories about
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: him and Ron Simmons and just a bunch of other guys.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: So if you enjoy listening to good storytellers and you
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: enjoy shooting interviews from smart people talking intelligently. Put Mark
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: Henry on the list. It's it's some good listens. He's
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: got a couple of interviews up.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Are you saying that you want me to do a
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: shoot interview? I do because I'm definitely a smart person.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: I want to hear about your time as an agent.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Oh that was really that was really weird.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: That's a shoot, folks.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: I will I would, I will tell a brief story
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: about about my time as a federal agent. I was
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: a fellow agent during I started during the first George
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Bush administration and through the higher Bill Clinton stopped out.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Of course, you know, Bill Clinton was a little bit controversial,
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: and there was some stuff going on and with the
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: federal government, and so they decided, I don't know, the
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: government decided that in the Internal Revenue Service they were
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: going to have they were going to facilitate ethics awareness
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: workshops for all IRS service center employees. Now I worked
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: out of the Atlanta Service Center. Guess who was in
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: charge of doing the facilitation of ethics awareness workshops for
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: forty nine hundred i RS employees. This guy, can you
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: can you imagine me instructing He can't. You can't teach ethics.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: That's why I use the word facilitating. Could you imagine
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: me facilitating ethics to the Internal Revenue Service. Keep in
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: mind that I got a picture that I did a
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: big bill wearing a baby bought it a baby blue blanket,
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: and a passer by or at his mouth. You know,
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: this is that. That's just one of the many stories.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: It was just it was it was very it was
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: a very stressful job. Let you put it that way.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: True though.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: I've heard it Helson helped helped take down the Russian
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: mob in Miami.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: It was in the end of the eighties early nineties.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: True story. Look look up when the time frame when
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: the Russian mob in South Florida was taken down, and
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: you crossed reference that with when Kelson said he worked
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: with the.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: Treasure I did not have anything. Matter of fact, I
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: never I don't think. I can't remember. I know I
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: had South Carolina and Georgia. I don't think because there
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: was at the time, I believe there was seventeen service
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: centers in the United States. Uh so you know there
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: were different service centers, so iy. Yeah, yeah, it was
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: just it was just something. And and another brief thing
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: is I also met my wife there so my ex wife.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, who do you who do you think was
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: this person on the inside of that sting against the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: Russian mafia in South Florida.
• 1:00:33

• 1:00:36
