Transcript
- 0:06It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for ignition with aw
- 0:10fan Hub. This is Kelson and this is Alex and I guess we're gonna
- 0:16get right into it. Tomorrow we got Tony's big announcement, another one of
- 0:24Tony Kahan's famous big announcements, and do you have any Yeah, so Kelson,
- 0:30do you have any thoughts on what the big announcement is going to be
- 0:33tomorrow? It could be anything from him announcing both a multi million dollar TV
- 0:40deal to him going fishing or going to the storm buying new underwear. You
- 0:44just never know what, Tony Kahn. Yeah, absolutely, it could be
- 0:50tickets for all In are still available. I'm still available. We've opened well
- 1:02that that could be it. But anyway, because that's serious, they probably
- 1:04did open up do seats because they've I think they've done that a couple of
- 1:07times already. Look, we ran a pall on the aw vatob social networks
- 1:14asking people what they thought the big announcement would be, and by far the
- 1:19biggest vote getter, if you will, was them announcing a Boston show with
- 1:26Mercedes Monet debuting on the Boston Show. Do you think that that's a big
- 1:30announcement, Alex Uh, it's definitely not the biggest announcement if he's just announcing
- 1:38a Boston show and I feel like he's gonna announce it and it's gonna be
- 1:44wink wink, nudge nudge. Maybe he'll say we're having a Boston show and
- 1:49there's going to be a big debut there. I feel like he's not gonna
- 1:53want to say Mercedes Monet if that's what the plan is, but he's gonna
- 1:57want to heavily hint it because they're gonna want to sell tickets if they're doing
- 2:01a big arena in Boston. So yeah, I mean, my my guess
- 2:07is that that's gonna be what the announcement is. Well, you know,
- 2:12they had dead report. There were reports that Mercedes Monet actually recorded something for
- 2:19AW last week. Now, of course I don't know the truth of that.
- 2:22That's just what was being said by several of the media outlets that you
- 2:27know I frequently follow. If that's the case, if they were going to
- 2:30do the announcement, Tony Kahan has a thing that he does when it really
- 2:34is a big announcement, he kind of gives it to somebody else to make
- 2:38remember when I think they announced it all in it was Adam call who made
- 2:43the announcement, not Tony Kahan. So what if Tony Khan comes out and
- 2:47said that we have an announcement, and to make the announcement, here's somebody
- 2:52that you think, we think you might know, and then Mercedes Monet and
- 2:55a recorded thing that she did last week or whatever comes on and says,
- 3:02you know, March I forget the date, March thirteenth. I want to
- 3:06say, I can't remember, but the Dynamite, you know, two weeks
- 3:10after revolution will be or ten days after revolution will be in Boston, Massachusetts,
- 3:19and will be my debut, you know kind of thing. I think
- 3:23that would probably go over better because then they could do some women talking about
- 3:30it. Over the next week or so leading up to it. Everybody will
- 3:32be wondering if she's going to wrestle, who she's going to feud with,
- 3:37You get people talking. I mean, it would be one thing if she
- 3:39just showed up, you know, without absolutely knowing that she's going to be
- 3:47there. And I think it would be kind of a nice thing to do
- 3:50for the fans. Considering over the last couple of weeks, we had a
- 3:54lot of situations where fans were saying, well, will he be there,
- 4:00will she be there? You know, and they didn't show up, and
- 4:03you were like, there was disappointment. So let's just you know, not
- 4:06to the chase and say she's gonna be here. Yeah. Absolutely, Like
- 4:13yeah, thinking back to I mean Deanna Parrozzo's debut, I think I did.
- 4:17I know for sure thought it was gonna be Mercedes Monet. And I've
- 4:20been expecting her to show up probably at least fifteen times since you know,
- 4:28it's been rumored. And I and when you said that with the video,
- 4:32and I heard the same things about rumors about her making a video or something,
- 4:36and I can picture it and that's exactly what Tony Kahan would do.
- 4:42And there's been hints about Boston on social media and stuff. So yeah,
- 4:46I think you nailed it. I wouldn't be surprised, just like, word
- 4:48for word, exactly what you laid out is what's gonna happen. Yeah.
- 4:54So but let's change course a little bit here because Okay, so say these
- 5:00Monet, that's kind of like the popular vote, but there are other things
- 5:03that are in the fans' minds that could be you know, announced is be
- 5:10be Tony Khan's big announcement, for example, Forbidden Door three. What do
- 5:16you think about that? Yeah, I would not be shocked if that was
- 5:23the announcement. And I feel like Forbidden Door three, especially with all this
- 5:28CML stuff the four Luchadors and some guys were going to talk about later.
- 5:35Yeah, I feel like Forbidden Door three with kind of more of an expanded
- 5:42not just New Japan. Maybe CMML two. There was that news with Stardom
- 5:47and they've had a change in management, so that might be opening up the
- 5:53women's roster fighting people from other promotions. So yeah, I could see Forbidden
- 5:58Door three plus all those other companies even maybe Impact or like TNA. Now
- 6:04you know, it could be a really big thing. Yeah, yeah,
- 6:08I mean that could be really I mean one thing that we didn mention was
- 6:11New Japan. I mean, look, one of the concerns that I read
- 6:15about on THEIAW fan hub social network was the fans. Fans were there were
- 6:23a few of them mentioned this were a little bit jaded, I guess is
- 6:27the best way to go. Look, they think that the Forbidden Door matches
- 6:30are really good. They're you know, quote unquote dream matches, but ultimately
- 6:35they're meaningless because you know who's gonna win when you go into practically every single
- 6:40one of them, you know, because if it's a title match, for
- 6:43example, let's just put it this way. If you have I don't know
- 6:49what's a good one. Let's just say Ricky Starks and Big Bill are still
- 6:54the tag champions going into Forbidden Door. If they're fighting to you know,
- 7:00Japanese or or Mexican or whatever wrestlers whoever. You know, it comes from
- 7:05TNA that you know they're not going to lose the AAW titles. You see
- 7:12what I'm saying. So you're pretty confident that it's going to be a good
- 7:15match, but ultimately it's meaningless, you know. I do feel like there
- 7:21is a willingness to exchange titles a little bit. Like we've saw FTR as
- 7:29the IWGP Tag Team Champions. I think that's just about it, but I
- 7:34could see, you know, a big kind of surprise where they they move
- 7:41one title to a Japanese wrestler for a bit like that wouldn't completely shock me,
- 7:46but yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, because that was
- 7:49something that other people said, is that Forbidden Doors place where Japanese wrestlers come
- 7:55to lose to AW wrestlers in the big matches. I mean, it's kind
- 7:59of the truth. It's kind of sad they're not. I mean a lot
- 8:03of these wrestlers have just as much, if not more experienced prestige than any
- 8:07of the AW wrestlers that they've wrestled, you know, so, uh,
- 8:11the one match. I don't know if you agree with this. I would
- 8:15say that there's two belts that AW currently holds. That's Eddie Kingston's Continental title
- 8:22and Orange Cassidy's International title. That would be to actually make sense for a
- 8:26Japanese or a Mexican wrestler to win one of those one of one of those
- 8:30belts are I guess as it goes as far of those belts, yea,
- 8:33you know absolutely, And I feel like, yeah, I think there's some
- 8:37feelings from the New Japan audience, New Japan fans that this relationship between ae
- 8:45W and New Japan has been kind of one sided. A w's doll,
- 8:50you know, maybe not stole, but these like Jay White, we've seen
- 8:56Will Osprey, possibly Okada, you big names from New Japan, like really
- 9:01their top stars are now making their way to al Elite, and yeah,
- 9:07I think there's maybe some not great feelings from the New Japan fans about how
- 9:13that's gone down. Yeah, I mean, well, you know, look
- 9:16at it this way. You mentioned stardom, I mean the ig IWGP Championship
- 9:22champion, women's champion, Mayoi Watani. That would be a great match to
- 9:28have at Forbidden Door. You know. Of course you've got the luchadors who,
- 9:33like you said, we will be talking about a little bit, uh
- 9:35you know, coming out shortly. They could you know, really present in
- 9:41these matches. And if you bring in a couple of people from t DNA,
- 9:46that would be amazing, you know, it would really I mean there's
- 9:52yeah, you know people said. What person said, whether we're talking about
- 9:56it whatever, is that this is going to be a ten hour pay per
- 9:58view. No, you could have it a buy one, get one free
- 10:01extravaganz over a too night weekend. Wow, just like just like see it,
- 10:07Like like CM Punk said to MGF when he was telling MGF go to
- 10:13WWE and participating in there by one get one freason, then you'll come back
- 10:18and guess what I'll be here. Well, I guess that didn't work out
- 10:20too well did it that didn't page very well? God? So? Yeah?
- 10:26But what's another what's some more you know, potential announcements he could make?
- 10:31Uh? People were talking about, uh, you know, bring it
- 10:37back aw Dark or making Rampage a live show, you know, adding it
- 10:45to either the top end or back end of Dynamite and making a live show.
- 10:50I mean, there's all kinds of little things they could be. But
- 10:54look, I think pretty much everybody is going to think that it's probably either
- 10:58something to do with Mercedes Monette and or Okata or Forbidden Doors three. Would
- 11:03you agree with that or do you think that it's you touch only going to
- 11:07be something else? Yeah, I think it's I'm gonna say like a ninety
- 11:11percent chance that it's the Okada No, not Okada, sorry, Mercedes Monet
- 11:20Boston TD Garden show March thirteenth, and probably just like you said, her
- 11:24appearing on like video and announcing it to the fans. I think people will
- 11:30go pretty crazy for that. And I feel like that's a bigger announcement than
- 11:35Tony Kahan's had and maybe his last five or six announcements, So I think
- 11:39it'd be pretty good momentum builder for AW Well. One thing I will say,
- 11:45and again this is going by the news outlets or the news media wrestling
- 11:50news media that's on social media was Originally Tony Kahn had planned on making this
- 11:56announcement on Collision, but he didn't want to make it on Collision because there
- 12:03was a lot of that backlash from things that are going on very unfortunate in
- 12:11the other company mm hmmm, which I hate because you know, look,
- 12:18whether you're a fan of WWE or not, you still have to respect what
- 12:22they've done and what they presented over decades, you know, I mean,
- 12:30and I just hated for the for the fans. I hate it for the
- 12:33wrestlers who are putting your bodies on the line each and every week, and
- 12:39nobody's talking about that, you know what I mean. Everybody's talking about about
- 12:48stuff that doesn't need that, that doesn't need to be I don't want to
- 12:52say that it doesn't need to be talked about, shouldn't be talked about because
- 12:54it shouldn't have shouldn't have happened. Okay, So, but my point is
- 13:00is that this big announcement was scheduled for Saturday, but Tony Cohn allegedly postponed
- 13:07it because he didn't want it to get lost in all the talk that was
- 13:09going on before, you know, going on with over the weekend. So
- 13:13that in and of itself tells me that this announcement isn't something like you got
- 13:18to do, Doc. It actually sounds to me like it is a big
- 13:22announcement that people will be excited to hear. Speaking of big announcements, boy,
- 13:31this one me by surprise and just There's not a whole lot of details
- 13:39yet, but apparently ESPN, Fox and Warner Brothers Discovery are developing a live
- 13:48streaming sports service that will be going into service this fall, in fall twenty
- 13:56twenty four. There's no name for it yet, nothing it's but it was
- 14:01officially announced at a press release, and it's gonna have NFL, NBA,
- 14:09w NBA, NHL, It's gonna have pretty much all the major sports UFL,
- 14:15It's gonna have all the major sports that those stations cover. It doesn't
- 14:20mention, it does not mention a W but if AAW is added to that,
- 14:28that is a big big deal. Yeah, And I think, yeah,
- 14:37there's a lot of questions like what is it? Is it if I
- 14:41get this this subscription service? Am I getting all of the NBA. Am
- 14:46I getting all of the NFL? If they put AW on it, would
- 14:52I get all of AW? Would I get Dynamite and Rampage and Collision or
- 14:58does the split the service off? Do you get pay per views as well?
- 15:03Uh? It's interesting and just from like the media landscape, because to
- 15:09me, it was always sports is the one thing keeping people watching television,
- 15:16and if all sports are going to streaming services, then television's dead. Television's
- 15:24kind of dead now anymore, it is, but but there was at least
- 15:28something, there was a reason that people would watch television, which is to
- 15:31watch live sports. Well, the thing is with this, with this package
- 15:37which has ESPN, Fox and Warner Brothers Discovery, Like when you look at
- 15:43the NFL, Yeah, Fox has Fox has NFL games, so those would
- 15:48be on this package. I probably assume ESPN, ABC has NFL games,
- 15:56so they would be on this package, I assume. But NBC also has
- 16:00NFL games and Prime Net Prime has NFL games. I'm not sure if NFL
- 16:06network still does NFL games, But anyway, those games were obviously not beyond
- 16:11there, so there would still be a reason to watch. Again, you
- 16:15know, college basketball is another thing. Those channels ESPN, Fox, Warner
- 16:19Brothers, Discovery do carry basketball. They do carry NHL, but so do
- 16:26other channels. The big question is is will this service be available in Canada.
- 16:33That is one thing that has been asked a lot because it's new.
- 16:37They haven't really clarified that, So yeah, I would guess no, or
- 16:45at least at a period of time, because we have TSN and Sportsnet,
- 16:49which is basically all sports in Canada. So let's say you wanted to watch
- 16:55all of the Raptors games, you would need to own TSN and sports Net,
- 16:59and they both do have subscription services so you can watch everything without actually
- 17:03having cable, you know. And I'm able to watch all of AW.
- 17:10I get Collision and Rampage and Dynamite and I can watch it all live just
- 17:15because I subscribe to TSN. So it's great for me now. And if
- 17:19they if it, I would imagine they would keep the deal with TSN unless
- 17:26it's just all available only on this subscription service. But yeah, I don't
- 17:33know. There's a lot. There's a lot that we don't know. And
- 17:36AW is not even listed and they listed a lot of things, so I
- 17:40don't know if that's because aw's you know, their deals due at the end
- 17:44of twenty twenty four, So you're even going to be part of Warner Brothers
- 17:47Discovery. Yeah, there's it's very interesting how the media landscape's changing. But
- 17:56it's also there is one thing that I will point out. There is one
- 18:00thing that I will point out here though, is that and this happened late
- 18:04last week again, ESPN, Fox and Warner Brothers Discovery are part of this
- 18:12deal. Late last week, I believe it was Saturday. I noticed or
- 18:18somebody actually pointed out to me that on the ESPN website. It's not on
- 18:26their mobile app on Android. I don't know about iOS, but it's not
- 18:30on their mobile app on Android. But on the ESPN website, ESPN is
- 18:37now covering AW There is an awab where you can get AW news, wrestler
- 18:47profiles, and scheduled events. Yes, interesting timing is exactly so just by
- 18:57that, it kind of makes me believe that maybe this streaming service will include
- 19:04AW and maybe this is something again. This maybe something that Tony Kahn will
- 19:10announce tomorrow. He may announce a new deal with Water Butter's Brother's Discovery.
- 19:15Not only that they're gonna be part of this deal. So you're gonna have
- 19:19the library on the service. Maybe think about the possibilities you can have the
- 19:23library on the service. You could have instead of pay per views, premium
- 19:27live events, you know, but please keep if that happens, just please
- 19:37just call them pay per views. Yeah. Or you could also have something
- 19:44like uh rampage go to Live on the streaming service. Also you can bring
- 19:56back something like AW Dark and put it on the streaming service. Because,
- 20:02let's face it, we're going to talk about this. Maybe I think next
- 20:04is this is what you're going to bring up. We have possibilities some more
- 20:07signings coming to AW. I mean, there are the floodgates of Open Buddy,
- 20:14and there's more wrestlers and that they could fit on five hours of TV,
- 20:19you know, So having a library so people go watch these wrestling matches
- 20:25will be really good for the company. Plus, I mean, just think
- 20:30about all the things that could happen if with the streaming service for AW.
- 20:33Again the press release, AW was not mentioned at all on the press release.
- 20:40But it's not the streaming services doesn't even have a name yet. It's
- 20:44that it's that new, you know. But the deal has been reached and
- 20:48okay, streaming service with AW, like yeah, if they have like their
- 20:53Ring of Honor channel, like they have all their pay per views, historical
- 20:59events, even just everything on this streaming service, so we can watch old
- 21:04pay per views. And then if you like, I'm subscribed to New Japan
- 21:10World recently and they actually have AW shows on there, so like theoretically,
- 21:17yeah, theoretically you could have a partnership where AW has New Japan shows,
- 21:22maybe not live, but they could have you know, they have a good
- 21:26relationship, so they could have have a art break. Yeah, exactly,
- 21:32And I don't see New Japan being opposed to that, like, I mean,
- 21:36if they're getting a cut obviously, but yeah, I think that would
- 21:38make it even more like of a enticing option to all different types of fans.
- 21:45Yeah, there's like a lot of things they can do, even GCW,
- 21:49like different indie promotions. I think, Yeah, I'm really excited to
- 21:55see them do a streaming service, and hopefully that's coming down the line.
- 22:00But yeah, I mean there's all kinds of possibilities with this. Again,
- 22:07we don't even know if AW is even part of this packing, you know,
- 22:12but if it is, this could be huge for AW. Think about
- 22:18it this way, just watching ESPN or watching say you're watching a football game
- 22:26on ESPN and they and the announcer during the football game says, be sure
- 22:33to go to whatever the screaming service is going to be called at APM the
- 22:36night to watch AW collision. And then on Fox they say the same thing
- 22:44during n F you know, during one in air football. That's free advertisement
- 22:49for AW. Yeah, if nothing else exactly. So, I mean you're
- 22:57talking about two of the biggest networks sparks, especially when you're talking about sports,
- 23:02two of the biggest networks there are that are giving plugs to AW so
- 23:08yeah. Yeah. And pro wrestling. I mean Netflix just announced that big
- 23:15deal with WWE, and that's like the first got fired in the sports streaming
- 23:22wars. So yeah, I feel like there's gonna be some desire from these
- 23:26companies to have a wrestling product. Yeah. Yeah, but you know what,
- 23:36let's move on. You know what do you what do you what did
- 23:37you want to talk about? Yeah? So, I think I want to
- 23:41talk about the highlight of my weekend. We saw him wrestle on Friday,
- 23:49We saw him having an incredible match on Saturday, the One and Only hatcha
- 23:56Sarah. However, you say, I don't know how to say it.
- 24:02The h is silent. Oh is that? I mean? He's my favorite
- 24:11wrestler, so I better learn how to pronounce his name. Yeah, and
- 24:15hopefully you'll be saying more of him. Is that where you're going with this?
- 24:18Yeah? So this guy's yeah, it's Spanish for wizard. He comes
- 24:25out, he's like he has balls of fire and he's creating like a giant
- 24:32fireball. Yeah. He had an incredible match with Brian Danielson and I'm watching
- 24:37it with my wife and I turned to her and I say, who's your
- 24:42favorite wrestler and she says, Hetcha Sarah, and I say Sam, because
- 24:49yeah, he blew me away. He just his style. It was technical
- 24:55but also bombastic and crazy, the flips, and like the way he he
- 25:03makes those moves that a lot of times look silly to me, like the
- 25:07rolling around your opponent from pin to pin to pin, and he makes it
- 25:11look so good. It's like people must have watched him do it and then
- 25:17they're just trying to recreate it. And this is what I love about aw
- 25:22is that this guy I'd never heard of him, and I'm like plugged in
- 25:26enough. I know, like people in GCW and the indie scenes and all
- 25:30these guys from Chakara back in the day. Like I knew Eddie Kingston for
- 25:34years and years and years before he ever showed up, but I'd never heard
- 25:37of Hetcha Saro. And God, I just loved loved him so much,
- 25:45and I just hope and I don't know if there's any chance of this happening,
- 25:48but for him to be all elite and then to bring him in and
- 25:52have him just be like a full time member of the roster, it would
- 25:56be so awesome. And I guess that takes us to Yeah, like who,
- 26:03There's a lot of names out there. They have this partnership with CML.
- 26:08I guess what do you think of Heta Saro? And who do you
- 26:11think AW is going to be also looking to bring in these days? Yeah?
- 26:18Well, this is another thing, another topic that we brought to the
- 26:22AW fan Hub social network today and we got a lot of response to this
- 26:26and some of the names. I was kind of upset at myself because I
- 26:29didn't think of them. I'm like, man, I'm an idiot. We
- 26:33asked specifically, who do you think are the next couple of wrestlers that will
- 26:37get all elite next to their name. But I want to go back because
- 26:42one of the guys I said was etcha Sara. If you remember when we
- 26:48were talking about this match in on Wednesday during our All Lead Talk podcast,
- 26:56I had actually gone back and I had looked at some at CCARO matches and
- 27:02I think I told you I noticed that he is a technical wrestler. He
- 27:07does a lot of things just like Brian Danielson does them. And my exact
- 27:12quote to you, I believe on Wednesday night was this match could either be
- 27:18very very good or it could be very very bad. I don't think it
- 27:22was going to be any middle grown right. Well guess what, and I
- 27:27am so happy about this too. The match was very very good. I
- 27:33mean, that was a privilege to watch, and to me, that's what
- 27:41wrestling is all about. And you know what, look, Brian Danielson,
- 27:45this is obviously a dream match that Brian Danielson probably wanted to do. And
- 27:51the whole purpose of having CMLL come in was probably to set up this match,
- 27:56you know, because Brian Danielson really wanted to do it. I'm gonna
- 27:59be honest with you, who was what was the last one that Brian Danielson
- 28:04had a dream match with it was the God Yeah, that was just a
- 28:11snoozefest for me. I did not like that match even an instant of that
- 28:15match, and I frankly didn't like much of any of the match. This
- 28:19was by far, when I say this, in my opinion, by far,
- 28:25the best Daniel Brian Danielson dream match that he's ever had. And I
- 28:30don't and I don't really think that he can match it. I don't he
- 28:34should just give up on the dream matches because I don't think he can match
- 28:37it. I think, yeah, you know, like it'll be like it
- 28:42was a good match, but it wasn't. Wasn't as good as his match
- 28:45against Eta Sero M I yeah, I agree. I think it was tied
- 28:52for his best match, because I think he also had a really good match
- 28:57with Zach Saber Junior and both those matches and like a lot of times with
- 29:03Brian Danielson matches, I I admit, I'm not like fully one hundred percent
- 29:10there at all times. And with a lot of wrestling matches, it's hard
- 29:14to like just be completely absorbed and watching every single move intensely. And this
- 29:22is just one of those matches where you're just you're watching every single thing they
- 29:27do, like so engaged, and it was, yeah, it was awesome.
- 29:33I'm sorry I was laughing when you brought up Zach Saber judor. Did
- 29:37you see the provo that Zach Saber Junior did where he called out Brian Danielson.
- 29:42I saw it. I saw it written somewhere that he called them a
- 29:45clamdigger, but I did not. He was saying that he said that Brian
- 29:52Danielson had a tight butthole. I'm not you. He said he had a
- 29:55tight buttle and I've got a loose butthole or We've got a loose butt hole,
- 30:00and that he did say stop digging clams, and I was just he
- 30:03had just gotten double with a match. He was out of breath, he
- 30:07was exhausted, he was trying to be you know, enthusiastic and whatnot,
- 30:11but he just opened his mouth that stuff just started spilling out. It was
- 30:18I was doing okay, So let's go back on topic. I mentioned that
- 30:22the social media, our social networks at aw fanub had given a lot of
- 30:26names, and I was I was upset myself for not even thinking that I
- 30:30didn't think of these names. How stupid he was. Yeah, hit me
- 30:33with some of these names. I mean I'm interested, Okay, Black Taurus.
- 30:38Oh, I thought they already announced something or maybe there was just rumors
- 30:45about him, like not being able to use that name if he joins aw.
- 30:48But yeah, he was able to use a name. Yeah, the
- 30:52King go. Yeah, another guy like he's there so much. I just
- 30:57he's almost part of it. But yeah, I mean, yea was amazing.
- 31:02Yeah, Chris Hero, Chris Hero, He's he's already backstage, I
- 31:07believe. H Yeah. And of course there were there were some names that
- 31:15were thrown out there that just like there's no way, like Ria Ripley,
- 31:21you know it was Lena Vega, you know, no way. But there
- 31:23were some names that Andrew Galloway otherwise known as Drew Galloway, you know,
- 31:33Drew McIntyre and Drew McIntyre. All right, so that is feasible. What's
- 31:41another name that they brought up, Theecla mm hmmm. Yeah, I've been
- 31:48looking into her. I have never seen her wrestle, but yeah, that
- 31:52would be interesting. Definitely strengthen the women's division. I was kind of surprised
- 31:59of two things. One one nobody brought up Wendy Richter. Seems like anytime
- 32:07you have one of these posts, everybody says side Wendy Richter. Doesn't matter
- 32:09what company they want to run to. Wendy Rick Richtor, who's like ninety
- 32:14years old. Okay, she's still alive. She's still I think, I
- 32:19think, uh, of course. Then there's Julia, which I don't really
- 32:23think is feasible, but that would be an amazing get. Maki Edo was
- 32:31mentioned a couple of times. It's been too long. We have not seen
- 32:36Mackiedo in far too long. I love Makiedo, and she's changed her gimmick
- 32:43a little bit as far as well, not her gimmick, but her her
- 32:46in ring approach. Where remember when she used to come out she used to
- 32:50sing Brooklyn the Hall. You know, she danced and sing and she just
- 32:54it was just not I guess in Japan, you know, being an idol,
- 33:00it's yeah, in America didn't really go over well. Now now she
- 33:05comes out to for Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica, Yeah, and Gage,
- 33:16well well well basically she comes out there for Whom the Bell Tolls and
- 33:21she's got m D. K on the big screen on the Titan Tron or
- 33:27whatever you want to call it behind her, and the crowd chants it and
- 33:30empty K stands for Maki death kill, and that's her gimmick now, and
- 33:36it's empty K. And then she gets in the ring and she does her
- 33:38you know, middle finger. She poses cutely and stuff and you know whatnot
- 33:45and but she's just got a little bit of a different think to her.
- 33:51And I'm most interested in seeing Makio on American TV, hopefully in a w
- 33:58just so I could go and watch Jim Cortnett say he hates our guts because
- 34:02I honestly believe, I honestly believe that Jim Cornett loves Machi, you know,
- 34:07I think, and I think because Machi you knows, has said that
- 34:13she doesn't like Jim Cornett either. I think they kind of got a thing
- 34:16going. I think they have they're going. That's other names. That was
- 34:21pretty much. That's pretty much the names that we got. But by far,
- 34:24I would say, like the King goo uh, you know, and
- 34:30Julia were mentioned quite a bit, you know, black Horse was only mentioned
- 34:38once but once or twice. No, he's mentioned twice. And man of
- 34:44course then you had, you know, Mustafa al Lee, uh, Speedball,
- 34:50Mike Bailey, that's another good guy. Of course, people said r
- 34:55J City get out of here as a wrestler. Wrestler, RJ City,
- 35:00Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be against it. I don't know what
- 35:05he can do in the ring, but more RG City is not a bad
- 35:07thing. RJ City actually made a post on Twitter, was it today or
- 35:14yesterday alluding to something to like why he doesn't wrestle anymore basically because he sucked
- 35:22and that was out of his mouth. You know, I don't remember exact
- 35:24quote, but it kind of alluded to the fact I don't wrestle any work
- 35:27because I wasn't very good at it. That was That was basically the gist
- 35:30of RJ City, I guess is the best way to explain it. Oh
- 35:37boare, Yeah, I like black tourists. I think that would be good
- 35:44because they have a lot of luta doors, but not a lot of the
- 35:46big luchadors that can take all the moves like the base if you will,
- 35:52So that would be cool. Julia, I don't. I don't think that
- 35:57that's gonna happen. It really, she's wwe bound oh god, she's by
- 36:04far the best. I think I set up before, she's the best women's
- 36:07wrestler in the world to be by far, and I think she's top five
- 36:10in all of wrestling, you know, and it's she just gets a bad
- 36:15rap, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be nice.
- 36:22Yeah, they need good people in the women's division, and it would
- 36:25be nice if they got her. Well, when you look at the women's
- 36:29division though, honestly, I mean, when you're talking about it, how
- 36:34many more people are going to fit in the women's division. Let's say they
- 36:37give Mercedes Bonette. Let's say Another big thing that was in the news today
- 36:43is that it looks like Camille is not going to WWE, and she's in
- 36:46deep discussions with AEW. She was backstage at AW a couple of weeks ago.
- 36:52I believe it was per collision, So you have Okay, so maybe
- 36:55we get Mercedes Bonet, maybe we give Camille. We just got data.
- 37:00Also a couple of months ago, we got Mariah May. Meghan Bain is
- 37:05going to be making her debut soon, Yukazakazaki to be making her debut soon.
- 37:13We'll probably be getting Britt Baker and Jamie Hayterback's Rita Deep and Thunder Rossa
- 37:17just came back. I mean, just on the people that are just debuting
- 37:21or coming back or mintry. That's a good, really good roster on top
- 37:28of who's already there. The only saving grace for the women's division in AAW
- 37:32is that they've got ro oh, because there's no way that they could fit
- 37:37all these women into this one roster. There's gonna be there's one of the
- 37:42people suggested, like I said, making rampage of three women's matches and two
- 37:46men's matches, or however many make it a predominantly women's show. The only
- 37:52thing that my concern with that is is that if they tape it on Wednesday
- 37:57and put it on on on Friday, people look at spoilers and they don't
- 38:01really want to watch the show that he already know the Winter Sports. What
- 38:05they should do is tape it on Saturday and play it the previous Friday.
- 38:08It's kind of a one way round trip ticket, so they play it back
- 38:14in time. Okay, yeah, yeah, that's a billionaire. You can
- 38:17figure it out, right. Maybe The big announcement is that Tony Khan has
- 38:22purchased a flex capacitor and he can screw it and he gets in Deloreate and
- 38:28he takes it back in time, plugs it right into the plugs that right
- 38:32into the stream. Yeah. Have I mentioned that I'm an idiot? Hey,
- 38:39it's smart. I mean there will be no spoilers. Hey when it
- 38:44comes to Kelson Logic, that one was actually pretty good. So you know
- 38:47what, I like the idea like Rampage is an all women's show. I
- 38:52I do like the idea because Rampage is on at a time that's hard to
- 38:58watch if you're like a person that falls asleep early. So yeah, well
- 39:05again it's tape, so that Look, it wouldn't be fair to women to
- 39:09make Rampage and all women show. I'm gonna say that right out right,
- 39:13because it's not going to get the ratings. First of all, not because
- 39:16it's women on it, because it just doesn't get the ratings. Yeah.
- 39:21Okay, if the ratings went down, if the ratings like tanked because it's
- 39:25women, but if they stay the same, then you're not really losing anything.
- 39:30But my point is is that my concern is that, Okay, we
- 39:32made Rampage, this women's show now predominantly women's show. So now we can
- 39:38only we only have to put maybe one match a week on either Collision or
- 39:44Dynamite. Now what does that mean is that means that most aw fans will
- 39:49now never see a women's wrestling match, and that would not be good.
- 39:52I'm sorry, No, the only way that you can do it is by
- 39:58putting Rampage like I suggested earlier, putting it at the top end of the
- 40:02back end, to have it live on Wednesday nights with Dynamite, which by
- 40:07the way, they are going to do in like two weeks. Rampage is
- 40:13going to be live after Dynamite. And that's when you load up with women's
- 40:19matches. You don't put them all on the last hour. You spread it
- 40:22out over the show. So now you've got two three, three would be
- 40:28my number. At a three hour show, one women's match each hour.
- 40:32You have three women's matches on Dynamite and Rampage. If you combine them,
- 40:37you have two on Collision. Now you have five women's matches throughout the week,
- 40:45and that's still That doesn't mean you should be locked into it. If
- 40:49there's something going on, you should have more. If the women are performing,
- 40:53let them perform, don't just go by the ratings will look even if
- 40:59they're ratings are bad, the ratings will get there is more people come and
- 41:04become invested in it, and that goes for women or anything that AW is
- 41:07doing. Yeah, yeah, and I think women wrestling fans are a thing
- 41:14and there I feel like there's more and more of them. And yeah,
- 41:16it's people like people can treat women like women. Aren't the bathroom break like
- 41:23they were twenty years ago, like maybe some people's mind, some people look
- 41:29at it that way, But yeah, it's people take it seriously and they
- 41:34respect women's wrestling more than they ever have, and AW kind of needs the
- 41:39follow suit and treat it with respect and not just have one obligatory women's matches
- 41:45show. And we did see two women's matches on Collision, so that was
- 41:52that was nice. That was nice. And that's where I think that Mercedes
- 41:57money is going to help out the women's division because to I understanding, again
- 42:00this is just something that I read on social media through the wrestling news media,
- 42:07is that one of the stipulations that Mercedes moment A had was that she
- 42:12wanted in order for her to sign G requested that there'd be more women's matches
- 42:20on aw TV. And if that's true, then kudos to her because she's
- 42:27not only thinking of herself, she's thinking of other women, So kudos to
- 42:31her. So yeah, and you know, beyond that, just before we're
- 42:37gonna get into our Dyeta my preview, beyond that, you know, it
- 42:40doesn't have to even be matches. It could be meaningful segments as well,
- 42:46you know, which AW over the last couple three months has done. I
- 42:51really do believe that they've done the women's division justice. They've handled it almost
- 42:55just write my book. Of course, a lot of this thought that they've
- 43:00been handicapped by is the injuries that they've they've had. But other than that,
- 43:07they've had some really good stories going on. For a while there before
- 43:14World's End, it was the women. The only the women had stories.
- 43:17You know, Julia hard abadat Sky Blue and a Jay you know, that
- 43:22was a good story. Then you had you know, Tony Storm with her
- 43:24thing going on. You know, that was fresh and new and it was
- 43:28a good story. Anyway, let's let's move on to our Uh We'll try
- 43:34to keep it a little bit brief, but let's talk about Dynamite because we
- 43:37got a lot going on on Dynamite the cards up, What which match stands
- 43:45out to you the most? Match er segment stands out to you the most.
- 43:50I like, I'm looking at it. There's five matches announced, and
- 43:53all of them look good. The one that stands out to me the most
- 43:59that I'm mostly excited for, I guess his Swerve Hangman three, because I
- 44:06mean that's just gonna be the most intense one on one match I think out
- 44:12of everything going on, Well, yeah, everything's awesome on this card.
- 44:17I'm very excited. Who do you have in that match? Who do you
- 44:21think wins? I think it has to be Swerve. It could go a
- 44:28lot of ways, but he just gave that promo on Collision. He's like
- 44:32almost hinting that he's, you know, maybe becoming less evil. He doesn't
- 44:37want Nana to to interfere in the match, like he wants to earn that
- 44:45real like he wants to not give Hangman any more excuses by beating him cleanly.
- 44:51Uh yeah, it feels like it's got to be Swerve. Yeah,
- 44:55you know, I feel bad for Hangman actually, and I think the best
- 45:01result for a Hangman and this is a time limit draw because I don't think
- 45:06there's a chance at hell that he comes out with a winn agat Swerve.
- 45:09And I really do hope that it is a time limit draw, because a
- 45:13time limit draw would set up maybe Swerve and Hangman against Imoa Joe at the
- 45:22pay per view. If there's no clear winner, there's no beer front runner,
- 45:27even though I do believe even with a time limit draw, Swerve is
- 45:30two matches one on Hangman. So I don't know. Yeah, I mean,
- 45:38if it starts the show, that makes it the most likely that they
- 45:44would go for a time limit draw, and I guess it would be a
- 45:46thirty minute time limit draw. Yeah, it could happen. It definitely.
- 45:52There's a lot of potential that it could be a three way a revolution,
- 45:58Yeah, I mean it kind of flip flops sometimes we think that it is
- 46:01gonna be a three way or even possibly a four way, and now it's
- 46:04like, oh no, they're gonna it's gonna be one on one, and
- 46:06now I don't know. Yeah, I'll say this, definitely, Samoa Joe
- 46:10will fight Hanging Adam Page or Swear Strickland or possibly and Strickland. Oh my
- 46:19gosh, that is so spicy. Man That's one of the things I really
- 46:22appreciate about you, Alex. You don't shy away from going out on a
- 46:25limb. I will money on that if I were to say something like that,
- 46:32Samoa Joe would get lost on the way to the arena and unable to
- 46:36fight, you know, because I because I said something like that. That's
- 46:39just I mean, we when we started doing these podcasts, we actually used
- 46:45to do a segment where we predicted the matches. Right. I was always
- 46:50the worst every month I was. I was like, why, you know,
- 46:57I just just say I'll go first and I'll pick who I think to
- 46:59the win, so everybody else could pick the other guy. And uh,
- 47:02I mean I was like fifty per and what that doesn't sound bad. But
- 47:06when you look at the match cards today AW had where there was obvious winners,
- 47:12you know. Yeah, I mean I'm like, oh, yeah,
- 47:14Repentago is gonna beat Samoa Joe. No, he's not. Come on,
- 47:17So you know what, let's talk about staying and Darby Allen against the AW
- 47:25World Tag Team Champions, Ricky Starks and Big Bill. Are you still the
- 47:31mindset because I know you were, at least like believe you were that Sting
- 47:36and Darby Allen are going to walk out of this as AW Tag Team champions.
- 47:40Yeah yeah, I mean I think they have to. Like if they
- 47:45don't, then Sting has lost the match right before, there is the possibility
- 47:52he gets costed the match by the Young Bucks and then that sets up the
- 47:57match at Revolution Young Bucks versus thing in Darby Allen. But to me,
- 48:02it just seems pretty obvious that thinking Darby Allen are gonna win, and then
- 48:08I wonder does that mean the end of Ricky Starks and Big Bill. I
- 48:14think some people maybe be happy, but I've really enjoyed big Bill. This
- 48:17has been his best run for me in AW. He's had some really good
- 48:23like promos. He's funny and he comes off well. So I'd be sad
- 48:29to see them split off. But yeah, you know, they didn't have
- 48:32a great run as Tag Team champions for sure. Yeah, big Bill was
- 48:37definitely the is definitely the more entertaining of the two. For me. I'm
- 48:44you know, look, I just said how bad I am at predictions,
- 48:49So I'm gonna make a prediction right now. Darby Allen in Steing do not
- 48:54win this championship. They don't lose it. Either from Francois Jacqusion otherwise known
- 49:02as the Young Bucks, Nicholas and Matthew their government names as old friends used
- 49:10to call them. I believe that they just interfere and just cause a no
- 49:17contest or disqualification or something. I don't think that either Darby or Sting are
- 49:23going to eat a pin. I don't think that Big Bill or Ricky Starks
- 49:28are going to you know, get a pin. And I I just don't
- 49:37see I just don't see any reason for Sting and Darby Allen to go into
- 49:42Revolution as the tag champions because the more I think about it, it's things
- 49:46last match, and and think about it, think about it. If they
- 49:52win the championship tomorrow night, it's going to be a one match and done
- 49:59for staying. And that's not anything to do with his legacy. But if
- 50:02the Jaxon Ollams the Young Bucks caused them the championship or a chance at the
- 50:09championship tomorrow night, then what happens at Revolution is a really big grudge match.
- 50:19One thing I'm worried about it is a tornado match. And you know,
- 50:25I don't know why to put the sixty four year old band in these
- 50:29Nights matches all the time. But he could do it. All I know
- 50:31is that I'm not sixty four and I just I could hear my bones breaking
- 50:37just watching this match. I can't believe the things that Stink can still do.
- 50:42Is he the best wrestler out there right now? Of course not,
- 50:45But at sixty four years old, you have to respect what he's doing because
- 50:50it's absolutely astounding to me. Now, you're significantly younger than I am,
- 50:54so you don't really know what your body's limitations are at my age. But
- 51:02yeah, I mean I shut her at it. Oh my gosh, child,
- 51:09Next match, What match do you want to talk about? I guess
- 51:16let's talk about Yeah, Timeless Tony Storm and Red Velvet. I think,
- 51:22you know, obviously Timeless Tony Storm is going to be winning. We've got
- 51:27Tiana Prazzo on commentary. Hopefully she sounds a little more comfortable on the mic,
- 51:34but I think it's good to get her reps, you know, like
- 51:37she's she's new. I was listening to a podcast with her and she's you
- 51:40know, like some of the biggest moments, like most fans that she's been
- 51:46out there in front of giving promos and stuff in the live audience. So
- 51:52yeah, good point. You know, I think she's We've been good and
- 51:57I think, you know, she's just got to get experience to just get
- 52:00comfortable and Red Velvet is always fun, get a fun quick match on collision,
- 52:07and yeah, I think it'll be a really good match. And you
- 52:12always complain timeless, Tony Storm never wrestles. It was going to be like
- 52:15third match. It'll be her third match. It's November eighteenth, and it's
- 52:19her first match this year. M M. You know, so, you
- 52:23know, and that's something that's been prelevant in social media with you know,
- 52:30not so much Tony Storm. They've been saying, where the hell is Julia
- 52:32Hart And I'm thinking about and by you know, well, Julia's there,
- 52:38she's just not wrestling. I don't know if she's injured or not. But
- 52:42Julia has wrestled a far site more than Tony Storm has over the last couple
- 52:45of months, you know, So I don't know, uh, but it
- 52:50is true. I mean, when you think about it, AW needs to
- 52:52get their women's champions out there performing, even if it is a squash match,
- 53:00which I don't mean any disrespect to Red Velvet in this because I do
- 53:06think that she's a good talent. It's just that this is a squash match.
- 53:08I mean, Tony Storm will likely do whatever she can to make Red
- 53:13Velvet look good for a while. But here's my here's my spicy prediction.
- 53:19Just like you said, Red Velvet's not gonna win this match. I mean,
- 53:22you know, that's one of the things that's good about this show is
- 53:27that when you look at the matches, this is the only match that has
- 53:31an obvious winner on it. Would you agree with that? Yeah, yeah,
- 53:37I think for sure. I mean maybe Blackpool Combat Club. Well,
- 53:42no, I can't say that what you said. Maybe you said maybe right
- 53:45there, which may right there makes it not obvious. Yeah, you're right,
- 53:49you're right, definitely the most obvious outcome, And I would say,
- 53:52yeah, none of the other ones really you can predict like that. Well,
- 53:57you're brought up the Blackpool Combat Club, So let's talk about this against
- 54:01well, I don't even know their names, but that's just Sarah. I
- 54:07think it's Mascara Derada and Vallador Junior. Okay, I'll take your word for
- 54:12it. But based on rampage, was it that they they had a match
- 54:20a rampage? Yeah, it was the four of them. So these three
- 54:22including Mystico who was Sinkara and WWE briefly. Right, Yeah, so the
- 54:30four of them beat Cool Hand, Inge, Daddy Magic, Matt Siddell,
- 54:36and Christopher Daniels. Then Sara lost to Danielson in a close match. He
- 54:43just rolled them up and then just Sarah went and beat the crap at a
- 54:47Brian Danielson after and Claudio came out and made the save. Yeah, I
- 54:52mean this is gonna be This should be an entertaining match, and this is
- 54:59one of those Matt, and I don't know if you would agree with me
- 55:00on this is that I don't care who wins this match. I really don't.
- 55:07I just want it to be a good match and be an entertaining match.
- 55:09It really doesn't have anything to do with rankings or anything like that.
- 55:14I guess it does for AW with Danielson and Claudio and Moxley. They lose
- 55:22this match, they go down in the rankings. But it's a trio's division,
- 55:24so I don't care. So if anyone does not need the wins,
- 55:29it's the Blackpool Combat Club. Yeah, so pretty established. Yeah, this
- 55:34is an exhibition match, and I just hope for for it to be a
- 55:39really good exhibition. Yeah, that's the best way. But it's gonna be
- 55:44awesome. Like this mascare Derado guy, i'd never really seen him before Rampage,
- 55:49and he was He's got like Dante Martin type hops on him. He's
- 55:53just like jumping out of the gym, as they say. And Volador Junior,
- 56:00I don't I don't know as much about him. I think he's a
- 56:01little bit older. But yeah, it's gonna be an awesome match. Well,
- 56:07you know what I'm looking forward to above all else in this match is
- 56:12a second face off between Atcha Saro and Ban Dangelson. Let's see what they
- 56:16can do and let's see what Let's see Atcha Saro against John Moxley. I
- 56:22just want I mean, he was the stats. He was just so impressive.
- 56:28I mean I want to have his baby, I really do you know
- 56:30It's yeah, you know, it's just like I'm in love with that to
- 56:34Saro. Yeah, I was reading from like like somebody that you know,
- 56:39the CMLL fan perspective where it's like, out of these four guys that they
- 56:45sent over to the US over to aw like hat just Sara is kind of
- 56:50the the least famous or like least you know, he's more of the mid
- 56:54carter to these guys are like upper carters. Yeah, and it's like,
- 56:59to me, his style translates so amazingly to a W. It's like this
- 57:06guy he's the greatest. They need to they need to convince him to stay
- 57:10in ae W and maybe pay CML a lot of money to just be like,
- 57:15hey, we're taking your guy, but here's a bunch of money here.
- 57:19Here you can take Wheeler you to. We don't need him anymore.
- 57:22But yeah, I hope we see a lot more of Eta Saro and aw
- 57:25yeah, I mean look, it's hard to you know, rain or shower
- 57:31praise on et Csaro based on literally one match that we saw. You know
- 57:37again, I did go back and watch somebody of his other matches, and
- 57:39I saw right away that he's just Brian Danielson with a different body building a
- 57:45mask. I mean, he literally is Brian Danielson, got like twenty three
- 57:51years wrestling experience. I mean yeah, so it's not like he's a newbie
- 57:54or anything like that. But when you look what you said, I mean,
- 57:58if you sent you know, who's a if you sent Dan Housen to
- 58:06Mexico, the crowd probably would never see anything quite like that, and they
- 58:13would probably eat it up. You know. Meanwhile, like if you sent
- 58:17what's a good example, Julia Hart to start them, she would just get
- 58:23She wouldn't be known very because her whole entrance, her whole aura. Every
- 58:30stardom wrestler is like that. But if she went to New Japan, she
- 58:36would probably be a standout. It just depends on where she where you send
- 58:39these wrestlers. I mean, obviously, John Moxley is a big deal in
- 58:44Dow Japan, you know, you know, because he's John Boxley and he
- 58:49does John Moxley did everywhere he goes, you know. So all right,
- 58:57the final match that we can talk about tonight is, uh, Chris Jericho
- 59:02and Canoskate t Tesca. Mm hmm. And it's weird. Chris Jared,
- 59:07I don't know. I may be wrong here. I may be right off
- 59:12way off base. Chris Jericho and Skate Taquesta. Boy, I cannot say
- 59:16that name, and I don't know why. Mm hmm. It looks like
- 59:23the either the next to the last or the weakest match on the card.
- 59:30It's weird and it shouldn't be and uh, look, Jericho has not been
- 59:37having a whole lot of wins lately. In fact, he's gotten to snot
- 59:42beat out of him quite a bit. Yeah, interesting to be interesting to
- 59:45see if Takeshta has the Callous family behind him, and it'd be interesting to
- 59:52see if Jercho has a little help on his side as well in the form
- 59:57of Sami Guvara. Who do you have winning this match? What's your gut
- 1:00:01instinct on this? My gut says it's gotta be Takeshta. Uh, you
- 1:00:09know. Obviously this is setting up the next match, whether that's like a
- 1:00:16tag team match, It's probably gonna be Takeshta and Hobbes versus Chris Jericho and
- 1:00:22Sammy Guevara, whether that's like Next Rampage or not Next or not to Dynamite
- 1:00:28Revolution. But to Ketch Thea has to win this. He'd beat Kenny Omega.
- 1:00:34He can't go and lose to Chris Jericho. Now, no, I
- 1:00:37agree, but it could go either way like I wouldn't. Yeah, it's
- 1:00:43hard to say. Clearly, there's gonna be something screwy about it. Sammy
- 1:00:49Gevara is gonna make an appearance, Will Hobbs will be there, but I
- 1:00:53think Takeshta has to win. Yeah, I have to agree with you,
- 1:01:00Takesha all the way on this one, Jericho. You know, Jercho stands
- 1:01:06nothing to gain by winning this match and Takeshta. If he loses his match,
- 1:01:13he loses a lot more to just a match. I think he loses
- 1:01:15a lot of momentum because he's not been wrestling that much. He went period
- 1:01:22where he wasn't around. I don't know if he was injured or whatnot.
- 1:01:23You know, they don't say, but he's been You know, I've heard
- 1:01:28a lot of people where the hell is uh Kenowski? You know? So
- 1:01:30yeah, yeah, like you beat Kenny Omega, you have momentum. Now
- 1:01:36you got to keep that up. And it feels like the whole don Kallis
- 1:01:42family. They just kind of they they're just kind of washing away and then
- 1:01:46they're coming back. But like you want to see them consistently, all these
- 1:01:52guys because they're so good. I don't know, I hope it's setting up
- 1:01:55something big and then they can move on to a new feud. But this,
- 1:02:00yeah, this card in and of itself. Look over the last couple
- 1:02:06of weeks, I've been kind of complaining that. I hate to say it,
- 1:02:09you know, be negative, but I I've been watching like Collision and
- 1:02:15Dynamite with a little bit of expectant boredom, you know what I mean.
- 1:02:21It's kind of like I hope something interesting happens because the card doesn't look all
- 1:02:24that great. This card, I think I even mentioned it this last week,
- 1:02:30was like AW needs to put on a pay per view on free TV.
- 1:02:35This is pretty damn close to a pay per view on free TV.
- 1:02:38Yeah. Yes, So like you if you showed me the ring of like
- 1:02:45whatever that final battle card was, and you put it up next to this
- 1:02:49card, I'm pretty sure you would like that was an awesome show, don't
- 1:02:52get me wrong, but you would look at this card and be like,
- 1:02:55yeah, this card's definitely better than what they did for that. You know
- 1:03:00what My main concern is for the card tomorrow night. This is gonna sound
- 1:03:05stupid. It's it looks to me like Stinging Darby Allen against Ricky starts a
- 1:03:13big bill are going to be the main event, Kay, and arguably the
- 1:03:20second biggest match is well, to me, the biggest match, but AW
- 1:03:25is probably booking it as the second biggest match is Swerve against Hangman and Page.
- 1:03:29Would you agree with that? Absolutely? Yes? All right, so
- 1:03:34you put Swerve and Hangman Adam Page out there and they have what is probably
- 1:03:38going to be a war, and then then you got to follow it up.
- 1:03:45And I just I hope that they I really hope, I hope beyond
- 1:03:51hope that they opened the show with Hangman and Swerve, I honest to God
- 1:03:57do because they put Hangman and Swerve just before Darby Allen and Stink go against
- 1:04:04Ricky Stark's and Big Bill. That's gonna be hard to follow. I'm sorry.
- 1:04:11You know, put Hangman and Hangman and Squerve first, maybe Chris Jericho
- 1:04:15and Takesha second or whatever, and then and then go from there, you
- 1:04:21know, and then right around the nine o'clock hour, do the Tony storm
- 1:04:27in Red Velvet match, because something's gonna happen. And I believe that's probably
- 1:04:30when Tony Kom will come out and say, hey, hey, I've got
- 1:04:32a big announcement. You know, I want to introduce the new CEO of
- 1:04:38Women's Rest Women's Division, the first female v first female e v P.
- 1:04:46Yeah, here she's the new boss. I mean, oh god, I
- 1:04:51mean, look everybody's It would almost be a disappointment. Tony CON's in a
- 1:04:59weird spot right now because he could just come out. He could come out
- 1:05:02tomorrow and say that he just bought CMML, New Japan and TNA and they're
- 1:05:13all part of the aw family, and people will be on social media go,
- 1:05:17what no Mercedes Money. M hm. You know, So he's if
- 1:05:24he doesn't come out with Mercedes to Monay tomorrow night, he's going to disappoint
- 1:05:27a heck of a lot of people. But I honestly think that it's gonna
- 1:05:30be Mercedes Money tomorrow night. Yeah, that is my prediction, which means
- 1:05:35it's probably wrong, dude. I mean, you could be wrong and still
- 1:05:43be right. He could not announce Mercedes Monet but hint at it and announce
- 1:05:47the Boston show announced from Boston. I don't know if she's really from Boston,
- 1:05:54but yeah, yeah, And as you said, swerve Hangman. I
- 1:05:59think that does need to open the show. And we've seen it before,
- 1:06:02like Brian danielsin versus Kenny Omega, Daniel Sin versus Hangman for the title.
- 1:06:10Those matches open the show. They're used to having, like those solid singles
- 1:06:15matches, which is what this is going to be. Yeah, really good
- 1:06:20card. I mean, I know last week you said it was like the
- 1:06:24worst card you'd seen in a long time, and I was a little more
- 1:06:28optimistic about it. But like, looking at this card in comparison, man
- 1:06:32so much better. It's crazy, you know, I fully admit to you
- 1:06:36that. I literally, and I kind of hate to say this. We
- 1:06:42were doing a live chat and I fell asleep. What about what was the
- 1:06:51final match on collision? Uh last, I don't even I'm looking at the
- 1:06:59card. I can't remember. The reason I can't remember it is because I
- 1:07:02slept through it. It was Oh yeah, it was the Patriarchy versus Daniel
- 1:07:09Garci NFTR. Yeah. I mean I would have loved to have seen that
- 1:07:12match, but I didn't. I through the entire match. I went out,
- 1:07:16just out completely. I haven't done that since I way back in the
- 1:07:20day. I'm dating myself here. Right back in the day, I went
- 1:07:25to see Indiana Jones. Well, no, it wasn't Indiana. It was
- 1:07:29Raiders of the Lost Arc, the very first movie wow in the theater,
- 1:07:33and then the next day I went and saw it again. Because I slept
- 1:07:35through the entire movie. I literally don't know why I went to the movie.
- 1:07:42I went there and I slept through the entire movie. And I'm a
- 1:07:45snore, so I'm pretty sure that there were people sitting around me because it
- 1:07:47was it was in the theater Raiders at the Lost Ark pretty close to right
- 1:07:50after it opened, so when you knew the theater, it was probably back.
- 1:07:54I slept and probably snored my assho after in the movies. I'm sure
- 1:07:58that if I had done that to day, I would have been killed.
- 1:08:00Mhmm, yeah, because people were a lot less. Uh, they had
- 1:08:04a lot more were straight back then. Yeah, covid going to a movie.
- 1:08:10I everyone. I just want to kill everyone in the movie. People
- 1:08:15using their phone to like see her around, but they can't find their seats,
- 1:08:19so they're finding of they have their own little personal flashlight. Drives me
- 1:08:23nuts. Oh god, don't even bring me up. Don't even talk about
- 1:08:27Hey, they you use your phone bringing to arrestue and me and humiliate you
- 1:08:30because that just happened. Is somebody we all know, you know on they
- 1:08:38were arrested. Yeah, their phone and who was it? Oh my god,
- 1:08:45somebody will have to tell me to put it in the comments what a
- 1:08:48woman wrestler was arrested. She went to not a movie, was a show,
- 1:08:53and she's friends with the performer that was in the show, and she
- 1:08:58was arrested for taking her phone out during the show. And she said,
- 1:09:01first of all, she didn't take her phone out, and second of all,
- 1:09:04the performers a friend of hers, so he probably wouldn't have had a
- 1:09:06problem with it if she did. Even if she did take her phone off,
- 1:09:10but they had her in handcass and arrested her. Ass They sure did.
- 1:09:14But anyway, somebody will let me know. I can't remember, and
- 1:09:16I'm too lazy to look it up. Yeah, I have mixed feelings about
- 1:09:19that. I kind of feel like I'm happy that they arrested her, but
- 1:09:24I don't know the details. Well, she obviously wasn't drunk or anything,
- 1:09:29because when she was talking to the camera, they were filming her as they
- 1:09:31or she was being escorted away, and she was like, I didn't do
- 1:09:36anything wrong, you know. She wasn't like he didn't do you know,
- 1:09:41she wasn't like that, you know, was ever I'm gonna cut this part
- 1:09:44out anyway because we're kind of way out there. Oh God. Anyway,
- 1:09:54look, Alex comes down to this Tomorrow night, looks like it's gonna be
- 1:09:58a pay per view on free TV. I'm all in for it. I
- 1:10:01can't wait to see pretty much every single one of these matches is gonna has
- 1:10:04hold hold something interesting to talk about, and of course Tony Kahn's big announcement,
- 1:10:11and of course third thing is we get to see if Eddie and my
- 1:10:15predictions come true. What do you think? What are you looking most forward
- 1:10:23to tomorrow night? Though, honestly at just Sarah, I mean, I
- 1:10:30like swear Stricklyn Angman out of page. It's going to be amazing. But
- 1:10:33I love that. I can't believe I said that I want to want to
- 1:10:40have his baby. Oh my god, it's been a weird night anyway.
- 1:10:46I really just clarify things. No, I don't want to have his baby.
- 1:10:50And it'll be interesting if anybody brings this up, because somebody's listening to
- 1:10:55our podcast. If if you don't have his baby, we all have this
- 1:11:00baby. You know what I'm gonna make it. When I make this podcast,
- 1:11:06I'm gonna put on the title. It's gonna say the title you know
- 1:11:14what, you know dynam my preview and then it's just say we we want
- 1:11:20to have Etchisara's Baby. That's what I'm gonna name it. That the podcast
- 1:11:26we want to have at Sara's Baby. That's the name of the tonight's podcast.
- 1:11:30If people don't know how to read English, I hope he doesn't come
- 1:11:35across that joy. Oh my god, that's gonna be too funny. Anyway,
- 1:11:43we were getting way off track. God, oh god, I can't.
- 1:11:53I would just love if you could read English. And then tomorrow on
- 1:11:56Twitter he said to some messages and says, what's your number. He's a
- 1:12:02big guy. I'd be scared. Yeah, he's he's I'm bigger than him.
- 1:12:08Yeah, but he's he's thick, he's got that big barrel chest,
- 1:12:12and he's he's athletic. He can do a flip. I'm guessing I could
- 1:12:16do a flip if somebody throws me. Maybe he could like off a cliff.
- 1:12:23You have to get be time to actually develop the flip. You know.
- 1:12:26I can't mean like he he monkey flipped Brian Danielson into like a rear
- 1:12:32naked choke, so maybe he could do the same. That was something better
- 1:12:36he could do. Yeah, that's just the way he got into some of
- 1:12:42those Daniel said, did the same thing. He's been doing that kind of
- 1:12:45stuff. It's just so weird saying somebody else do it just as well,
- 1:12:49even even better. He doesn't like in a fancier way. Yeah, what
- 1:12:55an awesome street that was. And I just hope we get to see more
- 1:13:00them tomorrow. We certainly will, all right, So let's wrap this up.
- 1:13:05What do you say, buddy? Yeah, sounds good to talk about
- 1:13:11tomorrow, I hope so. Man, between the big announcement and these matches
- 1:13:16free free pay per view on free TV, I'm there for it anyway.
- 1:13:23Thank you for listening to Ignition for aw fan Hub. This is Kelson and
- 1:13:29this is Alex. Good night, everybody,
