AEW Highlights and Dynamite Preview - Bang Bang Scissor Gang · Ignition - an AEW Podcast

0:05
It's Tuesday night. You know what that means. It's time for condition with
0:08
aw fan hub. This is Kelson and this is Alex. Happy to be
0:14
here and anyways, I want to get things started with maybe the most exciting
0:20
development for me from Collision, which was the deemingly the formation of the Bang
0:28
Bang Scissor Gang, which is the Acclaimed and Bullet Club Goal joining forces.
0:33
Stavingly, I guess you don't trust it? Yeah, I mean I need
0:41
to see more, because yeah, can we trust Jay White? He's only
0:47
shown himself to be a horrible person on aw or. I guess my prediction
0:56
for this, this where this is going is maybe different than what a lot
1:00
of people are maybe thinking. And I'm envisioning them staying together for a while,
1:07
and I'm imagining a scenario where the Acclaimed goes back to some of their
1:15
heelish roots and we see kind of a villainous Acclaimed and maybe, you know,
1:21
the Bullet Club gold like brings them back to the dark side because Acclaimed
1:26
we're heels for for probably the majority of their aw run, we forget especially
1:32
until they they were there were bad people. Yeah, yeah, they were.
1:38
They were bad guys. They feuded with Darby Allen and staying uh yeah,
1:45
and only recently have they you know, it seems because they're most popular
1:49
has been kind of that turn against the Swerve and Keith Lee and that's when
1:57
they really got over is like good guys. But yeah, before that,
2:01
they were bad guys. So let me get this straight. You're thinking that
2:06
the Bang Bang Scissor Gang is going to stay together and the Acclaimed and Daddy
2:12
Ass are going to like become darker. Yeah, yeah, I think so,
2:17
And I don't know if I I can see it. You know,
2:23
Bullet Club Gold quickly betrayed the Acclaimed and then they have a rivalry. You
2:29
know, that maybe is the more likely scenario. But if they do stay
2:34
together, they're not going to be good guys. There's just no way that
2:38
Jay White and the Ass Boys can stay good guys for a long period of
2:43
time. So I just if that group does stay together, which I hope
2:47
they do, they're definitely going to become a heel group. Yeah. I
2:54
kind of think this is a Daddy Ass retirement toward beginning of the end of
3:01
not seeing Daddy Ass as much as we have that. I don't think he's
3:06
ever going to retire I think he's going to become more of a backstage presence
3:08
with the occasional special event match, but I think this is the way to
3:16
get him with his sons and have you know the last Hurrah with his sons.
3:23
Yeah. Yeah, here's the thing. We did a poll pretty much
3:31
all of our social medias and the question in the poll is will the Bang
3:40
Bang Scissor Gang make it through revolution as a group? And the results are
3:50
kind of interesting because on Reddit it was a resounding no. People don't think
3:55
they're going to make it past revolution. They're going to break up. I
4:01
can't remember off off the top of my head, but it was kind of
4:04
like, uh, four out of five people would say no. On Twitter
4:11
was a little bit closer, but it was still a no. And then
4:17
you get the YouTube, which AW fans on YouTube are a lot different than
4:23
AW fans on Reddit and Twitter, and basically they kind of went sixty percent
4:30
forward, Yes, they will last past revolution. So ultimately, when you
4:36
asked, I think we have more responses on YouTube as well, so I
4:42
think it's pretty much fifty to fifty. But it's just amazing how much different
4:48
the Twitter crowd of the Reddit crowd is from the YouTube crowd as far as
4:55
AWAW fans go. So yeah, my personal feeling is I kind of agree
5:02
with you. I think that you're going to see, uh. I think
5:06
you're going to see the Acclaimed become more heelish, maybe not completely heelish,
5:16
but having heelish tendencies. And I think, like I said, I think
5:21
this is just a way to get Baddy ass working with his kids again.
5:28
M you know, as they build toward maybe this is his last year as
5:32
a as a full time wrestler. I mean, let's face the guy is,
5:35
what's sixty years old, and he's not going to be able to be
5:42
in the ring with these kids battling it out. And unfortunately he's a title
5:49
holder, so he needs to do that. So I think I think you're
5:56
going to see the Acclaimed lose the titles as well eventually. And who do
6:03
they lose the titles to? Somebody else or the Bullet Club Gold guys.
6:09
Well, the Bullet Club Gold guys are the Ring of Honor champions right now.
6:15
My thought is that they're going to unify those belts and they have an
6:18
ROH belt only. I personally don't think that I've said this before many times,
6:26
Alex, I don't believe that the trios belts work in aaw It takes
6:30
away from the tag division. M Yeah, and I think the tag divisions
6:35
at the worst it's ever been right now in aw Right, you know it's
6:46
Revolution is on March third, and the tag champions Ricky Starks and Big Bill.
6:56
Has anybody even mentioned what they're doing? Is there even a clue a
7:00
hint of what's going to happen with Ricky Stark's a Big Bill as far as
7:04
Revolution goes, No, No, like they're viewed with Jericho and Sammy is
7:12
done right right, Jericho and Samy are going to feud with Takeshta and then
7:19
so Ricky Starks and yeah, who knows? They have no direction going into
7:25
this pay per view. Well, I've heard rumblings that most people, you
7:29
know, if you talk to them, you know, just some people talking
7:31
and chatting together, are you know, on the internet wrestling community, I've
7:36
heard rumblings that they think that the Young Bucks are going to beat Ricky Starks
7:41
and Big Bill before Revolution and go into their match with Sting and Darby Allen
7:46
as the aw Tag Team champions and retain. They don't think that Stick and
7:53
Darby Allen are going to win the match, and it kind of weird that
7:58
Stick would go out with a law. Well, let's face it, if
8:01
he does win his final match, then they're gonna have to vacate the championship
8:05
unless they bring somebody in to work with Darby Allen. Yeah. Yeah,
8:11
and I think I just putting the title into that match really kind of makes
8:18
it more obvious who's gonna win. But yeah, they could move it into
8:22
a different direction. I think Sun joins with Darby Allen or something. Yeah,
8:28
that's true. He does have a son, but I don't think he's
8:31
a wrestling I think he's like an accountant. There's something. I'm sorry I
8:35
made that up, but he looks like an accountant doctor. But whatever.
8:41
But yeah, So going back to the Bang Bang Scissor gang or as Rene
8:48
Piquet would call it, the gang Gang Bang Scissor. My favorite is Dan
8:54
Housen. Dan Heusden called them the dass Bang Gang. Well, look as
9:03
far as they go, who knows. But I just think it's interesting that
9:07
so many people look revolutions on March third, and so many people already said
9:11
they're not gonna last past Park third and that just blows my mind, you
9:16
know. Yeah, yeah, I kind of and I see the point.
9:22
I get it. I absolutely get it. So anyway, uh, let's
9:26
move on. What do you want to talk about next, Alex? Yeah,
9:31
So the other thing I wanted to talk about and was a couple like
9:37
Okay, so Shane Taylor fought John Moxley on Collision and I thought they had
9:43
a pretty good match. And we saw Shane Taylor come out last week with
9:48
Lee mari Ergi for the Cope Open. But we're seeing Shane Taylor and I'm
9:56
going to relate this to the Workhorsemen as well, but he's basically, you
10:01
know, he comes out, maybe he has a good match, or he's
10:03
supporting Lee Moriarty and they have an interesting enough match, but they're not really
10:09
doing anything beyond that. He's basically just there to lose the match against the
10:15
bigger star, right. And we saw a similar thing with JD. Drake
10:20
fighting Adam Page I think last week on Collision, Right. Yeah, so
10:28
you know, like they got these guys and I think Shane Taylor and I
10:31
think the Workhorseman there's like there's potential there and those guys can cut promos and
10:37
they can put on great matches, but it just feels like there's this missed
10:43
opportunity to have these guys do you know, like a one minute backstage segment
10:52
or something to just give them more personality and just do more to get them
10:58
over with the crowd and make them more interesting, and maybe put them in
11:03
a feud with somebody that they're not just gonna lose a single match and then
11:09
you never hear about it again, you know, Like I think Dane Taylor
11:15
and Shane Taylor Promotions, like I think there's potential there to do something more
11:20
interesting than just have them lose a match every week. And same with the
11:24
Workhorsemen. I think they are an interesting team who they just they just lose
11:31
on collision every week or every other week however often they're on. So yeah,
11:37
I just I want to throw a couple of names at you, Alex
11:39
and see if you agree or disagree that these are just a couple more wrestlers.
11:45
That these wrestlers fall into this kind of similar group as JD. Drake
11:50
or Workhorseman and Anthony and Shane Taylor, Anthony Henry, Yeah, what about
11:56
Commander, Yeah, Commander, he's he's almost I guess for me, I
12:07
feel like I've seen so much of Commander that I've actually grown attached to him,
12:15
like I've connected with him. I don't know if other people have,
12:18
but like Commander, I guess he's been there enough. And I'm sure I
12:24
don't know how great his English is, so I don't know if yah English
12:31
should be a drawback. You know, he is from what I understand,
12:33
he is a young guy. Oh yeah, but I love Commander. I
12:39
mean I love Commander too. Yeah, I'm better throw two more names out
12:43
at you. Okay, Once a woman wants a male that may have fit
12:52
into this maybe a year ago, but he doesn't anymore. All right.
12:58
The second name, here's the woman and a J in a J, Yeah,
13:05
in a J. He's had a lot of opportunities for character development,
13:11
and she had like that whole friendship with Tye Kanty and she's he's had way
13:16
more opportunities than like Baby Crake or Dan Taylor. And then she they just
13:22
forgot about her and now she's back, which is good and optimistic. But
13:31
that's that's the thing I worry about is sometimes like people get featured for weeks
13:35
and weeks or months and then they disappear and they stagnate. They stagnate,
13:41
which brings me to the wrestler that I wanted to point out that a year
13:46
ago you probably would have looked at this guy and you would have said,
13:50
well, he's pretty good, but they're not doing anything with him, and
13:54
when they do something with them, he's cannon fodder m hm. And that
13:58
is Strickland. Yeah, I mean, look how long it took for him
14:05
to emerge and he was there the entire time mm hmm. Yeah, I
14:11
mean we it's easy to forget the original Mogul affiliates or Mogul Him and Trench
14:20
and Berker Boudreau, which was just a horrible heiring. I mean I loved
14:26
them, but yeah, that was not good for him. No, and
14:31
the whole the way they forgot about Keith Lee and that whole thing. But
14:39
you know, look, if you go back and you listen to our podcasts,
14:41
you know, because they're all up there, you can listen to them,
14:45
you'll hear all of us talking about Swore Strickland and how fantastic we thought
14:50
that he is was and is still and what are they doing with them?
14:54
Let's go, let's get swerve. We want Swerve and you know, we
15:00
said the same thing about excuse me, got takeups. We said the same
15:03
thing about several other wrestlers, Julia Hart, you know, and now we're
15:09
looking at these these same wrestlers that AW Fanhub was talking about their championship level.
15:16
Now, you know, no, fans are pretty smart. They know
15:22
they're the fans. We are fans, so we can kind of get a
15:26
grasp of what other fans like us kind of want to see. Now,
15:31
we're not always going to fall in line with every fan of a w of
15:35
course, we're also not going to be the majority all the time, but
15:39
you know, we have a pretty good grasp on what AW fans want to
15:41
see because we're the ones in the crowd cheering and mooing. Yeah. Absolutely,
15:48
And to mention one other name, I was going to bring them up
15:50
later, but Danny Daniel Garcia, he's a guy that's I was actually thinking
15:56
of Daniel Garcia too. He's he's moving on. Yeah, like the fans
16:02
love him, you know, He's and just speak to that, you know,
16:07
like Swerve and Daniel Garcia and some of these guys, I guess we
16:15
do. You do need to see them lose and be a little bit underappreciated
16:21
to really build that real love for them. Like if you just see a
16:26
guy win all the time, then I guess yes, but you have to
16:33
see some of them win some of the time too. I mean, look
16:36
at poor Commander. I mean, Commander puts on a show every time.
16:41
I mean, there is not gonna be many people that don't look at Commander
16:47
match and say, well, he loses all the time because he sucks,
16:49
Because that's not true. He doesn't suck. That's the point. He doesn't
16:55
suck, you know. I mean so, I mean, how could to
17:00
be that good and lose so much? It's frustrating. Ever won he has,
17:07
but it's not been like over the top. I mean at Final Battley
17:11
he almost won. Yeah, he was left you know, and I'm not
17:19
gonna lie to you, h Kyle Fletcher won it. I think people in
17:26
the crowd are rooty hard for Commander, man. I mean it was simple
17:30
as that. But I'd take nothing away from Kyle Fletcher. But going into
17:36
that yeah, going into that match, I never would have even imagined that
17:41
Commander would have won it. But that match just brought him to another level
17:48
in my eyes, and I and made Commander for me at least and I
17:53
thought he was gonna win it at least like five times in that match,
17:57
and that was a great match, probably one of my favorite of last year
18:02
for sure. Yeah, you know, I mean when I think of Final
18:11
Battle, there's two matches that I think of, and that's the end of
18:14
the of that title match with Commander and Kyle Fletcher and Ring because that was
18:18
just good stuff. I'm sorry. I want to see more of Kyle Fletcher
18:22
and Commander. That was good stuff. And I want to see more of
18:26
a theata of Billy Starks, you know, it's and I want to see
18:29
them in a W two. I mean, come on, yeah, I
18:32
mean, you know, I kind of want to move on now. I
18:37
want to touch on Collision. I spend much time on it because I do
18:42
want to get because there's so many matches and sentiments on Dynamite. I do
18:45
want to hit upon some of these. But let's just talk about the best
18:49
and worst of Collision, and let's just start with the best. What did
18:55
you think was the best of Collision? Yeah, Like we did already touch
19:00
on the the Bang Bang Scissor Gang, But for me, the best match
19:06
of the night was definitely Daniel Garcia and Buddy Matthews aslutely. Yeah, they
19:15
they are just amazing. And Buddy Matthews especially like he came came off the
19:22
top rope and it seemed like he hurt his knee and I legitimately was sure
19:26
like the match was gonna end because he was just selling his knee so well.
19:33
And yeah, and like I didn't know who was gonna win. I'm
19:38
pretty sure Danny Garcia won, right, you know what. I was enjoying
19:42
the match so much. You know, it gets to the point where if
19:45
you love a match so much, it doesn't matter who wins. I can't
19:48
remember who won that match. Yeah, I'm forgetting now, and I don't
19:52
think it mattered. It's just leading to the next thing. But yeah,
19:56
what a fantastic match. Just I love Daniel Garcia, and I loved his
20:02
New Titan Tron, his like ten foot or twenty foot tall video of him
20:07
dancing. Did you see that? Yeah? Yeah, I mean yeah,
20:11
I mean especially like the New Titan Tron. I mean even like when thunder
20:15
Rosa came out. H I mean that was she just that was just wow.
20:21
It just popped. It really did. Yeah, I don't think it
20:23
was a collision. I think it was on dynamite, but still, you
20:26
know, was I was like wow or was it on collision? I don't
20:32
remember. She fought on collision, she thought. Queen Amanada, Queen,
20:37
there's another one for you right there, Queen Avanada. She's putting on a
20:41
show. She's doing well. She's she's definitely got the tools, she's got
20:45
the personality. Yeah, she's got the talent. I think a lot of
20:49
these people like Queen Amanada, uh dead up until recently, Daniel Garcia,
20:56
but all these people who were talking about Commander Shane Taylor, Marquett or Anthony
21:02
Henry and j. D. Drake, they just need to get wins to
21:07
become viable. Yeah. Yeah, and they need just a little bit of
21:12
time to give them some personality and connect with the crowd. Yeah, and
21:18
just like a little storyline, like a little mini feud here and there with
21:23
somebody else that's kind of on a similar level, exactly exactly, elevate these
21:32
people, you know, don't just throw them in the ring is fodder.
21:36
So honestly, I'm not going to talk about the best, my best segment
21:40
of Collision, because I think we already said it all the same as MI,
21:44
the same, the same as yours. I mean, to me,
21:45
it was obvious that was just yea, it was just I just love watching
21:52
people like have a great match like that. And again I didn't even remember
21:56
one. It's not important the wrestling support, Yeah, go ahead, yeah,
22:03
I just I remember it was a roll up, but I cannot remember.
22:07
I'm assuming Buddy Matthews loss because he always loses, but Buddy Matthews is
22:12
the house of blocks designated taking the pin guy. Anyway, let's move on
22:18
to the worst of the night. What is What did you not like about
22:21
them? About Collision? There was two things, and one I'll just quickly
22:26
mention is when they had that big brawl at the end of the House of
22:30
Black, like brawling with FTR and Danny Garcia, and they had everyone run
22:37
out to pull them apart, and the Righteous ran out to pull them apart,
22:41
and it just that just felt like a bad choice for me. They're
22:47
supposed to be bad guys and weird like cult whatever, devil worshippers. I
22:52
don't know, but that just felt very weird to me. It felt like
22:56
that's the moment maybe they gave up on the Righteous and just said, well,
23:00
if anybody knows what the righteous are, please let me know because I
23:03
have no clue. Uh huh righteous? Or what are those people that I
23:08
called the crickets because when they come out there's no noise at all. Yeah,
23:14
So those two things. What's the other thing? So the worst part,
23:18
I guess would just be the main event. To me, it looks
23:22
like they're continuing on with Eddie Kingston versus the Bullet Club or BCC, Yeah
23:30
Kingston and yeah Blackpool Combat Club, and I just don't need to see that
23:34
anymore. I just want them to go on their separate ways and do other
23:38
more interesting things rather than just keep running back this storyline that's been going on
23:44
since, you know, before the summer, right, Yeah, well I
23:51
also have two things. M m. Yeah, what was the worst part
23:56
for you? They were equally worst, equally the worst. They were so
24:00
uninteresting for me personally, Yeah, that I turned the TV off. I
24:07
literally did not watch the next to last match with Roderick Strong versus Yeah,
24:15
I can't mat mat Sideel, Roderick Strong and Matt Sidell and the whole BCC,
24:27
Eddie Kingston whatever going on. No, there were no interest in those
24:36
matches at all. Yeah, up until that point. Yeah, I mean
24:41
it was like I was, I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm not
24:45
a Roderick Strong fan of what he's doing right now. I'm a Roderic Strong
24:52
fan. I don't like the slapstick, and I don't like him as a
24:57
leader. I guess it's the best way to put it. He is the
25:02
consummate lackey to me, not a leader. And when he gets out and
25:06
he's taking the mic and sending his front and center, it's just missing something.
25:11
There's no passion, there's no he's not as a heel, he's not
25:17
scary, he's not intimidating. Gets Yeah, and then you get to like
25:26
Eddie Kingson and the BCC. The promos to that are are fantastic. I
25:30
love watching Eddie talk about his hate of the BCC. I love watching Danielson
25:37
calling, you know, Eddie Kingston's scum and the faces that that Claudio makes
25:45
and things like that. But you know, I was listening. I wasn't.
25:52
I turned it off. I forget what I turned on. I think
25:53
there may have been a football game on or something like that, and but
25:59
I was He's still on the live chat, and once again somebody said,
26:03
oh my god, these machine gun chops have got to go. There's like
26:07
they look so stupid. And somebody so, why is he hitting himself?
26:11
He really gets his other arm into it very aggressively, like yeah, yeah,
26:18
he chops the other person with one arm and he hits himself with the
26:22
other arm, and I'm like, I don't care whatever, Yeah, trying
26:29
to figure out why he's doing that. So I watched some video of like
26:32
Kenta Kobashi doing it in Japan in like nineteen ninety three or whatever, and
26:37
he I think Eddie Kingston's just copying exactly how Kenta Kobashi did it, and
26:45
that's why he thrust his other arms so intensely, because yeah, I think
26:49
he just has been in love with nineties Japanese wrestling so much. Yeah,
26:56
I mean, so let's move on and let's talk about diet bye. And
27:03
I just want to start this by saying I did a I did a match
27:07
card just for fun, and as I was doing the match card, you
27:11
know, I started doing I started with uh Penta and Hangman out Him page
27:15
that match. I did a graphic for their match, and then I got
27:19
to Thicky. Have these two ever fought one by one on one versus one
27:25
and like they're doing on Wednesday night in an A w ring? So I
27:30
looked it up and no, wow, And then you had swear Strickland versus
27:34
Jeff Hardy. Guess what they have never fought one by one versus one and
27:41
a A w ring before I think you go right down ward lowerd Trumperetta,
27:48
Adam Copland and Menora's Suzuki Mm hmm, thunder Rosa and Red Velvet which was
27:56
just added uh a short time ago. The acclaim that the Ogal Embassy.
28:03
Yeah, obviously we have. We have two talking things, Darby Allen and
28:07
Sting who have never faced each other, and Tony Storm and Dianna Parronza,
28:11
who have never faced each other in an AA w ring every segment and every
28:18
match that we're getting on Dynamite tomorrow night, and fact check me people,
28:22
you know, because if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I'll admit to
28:25
it and I'll own up to it. But I'm pretty sure that this is
28:30
the first time these particular people have faced each other in a AE w ring.
28:37
Mm hmm. This is a brand new show. Think about this.
28:42
There's no repeats m h. The one and most versus Page. Yeah.
28:49
I mean, now they've been in the same ring before and in uh you
28:53
know with like pent and Ray Phoenix an attack match, but they have faced
28:59
each other that way, but they've never faced each other in a singles match
29:03
like they're doing tomorrow night. I was more shocked than Wardlow and Trent Burretta
29:07
had not been in a match before. Yeah that one. Maybe not because
29:14
Wardlow just fights no name people from those matches for two and a half minutes.
29:21
Maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, So what matches catching what not necessarily
29:26
a match? What segment or match is catching your eye for tomorrow night?
29:36
I think the first one that jumps out at me is thunder Rosa versus Red
29:41
Velvet. Really, why is that? I like, they're they're a bit
29:45
similar maybe in my mind, just as you know, they're both like on
29:49
the littler side for female wrestlers in AW and they're both like kind of feisty,
29:57
like energetic, fast, always you know, right, athletic doing something.
30:03
Yeah, athletic and Red Velvet especially is really like, you know,
30:10
she's come up hit another level. So yeah, I'm just excited for that
30:14
match, and it's kind of and I'm shocked that it hasn't happened before.
30:18
Actually yeah, I mean I even looked like a dark and Dark elevation.
30:22
They've never faced each other before, you know, But I'm kind of I
30:29
this match kind of intrigues me too, simply because and I keep going back
30:33
to this Tony I want to see Thunder thunder Rosa get involved in this Tony
30:38
Storm of Diana Parozzo segment. I really do, because thunder Rosa was the
30:45
champion, she got injured and she relinquished the belt, and during the tournament
30:51
that took place, after she relinquished the belt, Tony Storm became then the
30:56
interim champion, which was then turn to a full on champion actually after she
31:02
had lost the belt, right, but they did, you know, And
31:07
again with that one there, that was basically Britt Baker doing that because if
31:14
thunder Ross who had still been the champion, then it would have eclipsed Britt
31:18
Baker's reign when she didn't wasn't defending. But anyway, so Tony Storm became
31:25
the champion, and I really think that they're going to eventually run a Tony
31:33
Storm versus Thunder Rosa for the championship, because again, Rosa never lost the
31:40
belt. Mm hm. Tony Storm got it by proxy. IM not saying
31:45
she didn't deserve it, but Rosa never lost the belt. That's that's the
31:49
feud I want to see in the women's division. Yeah, I wonder if
31:53
we ever had that match before. I don't think so, no, because
32:00
yeah, remember when when Thunder Rosa, you know, relinquished the belt.
32:07
I believe it was in October twenty twenty two, but she relinquished the belt
32:12
that Tony Storm won won it in that tournament. Rosa just started wrestling again
32:19
since then, I mean she hadn't any matches. Yeah, she's only had
32:22
three matches since. She's been two matches singles, right or one? Last
32:28
week was her first singles match, wasn't it. She had the tag match
32:34
Yeah, yeah, just the tag match with abdon or something and then yeah,
32:37
yeah she was Abudon's partner against the Heart and Blue. Yeah yeah that's
32:43
right. Yeah, and Thunder Rosa she's a big deal. She's like one
32:46
of their best women's wrestlers. So yeah, they need to put her in
32:51
something important. So yeah, i'd like to see that too. I wonder
32:54
how yeah, when it comes with thunder Rosa. I just thought it repue
33:00
here when it comes to thunder ross As far as the former and current a
33:06
W Women's World Champions, thunder Rosa by far has the best winter winning percentage,
33:15
So just keep that in mind. She's she's a big deal, but
33:19
she's also booked as a big deal, so you know, I don't know.
33:23
I think that this thunder Rosa Red Velvet Matches matchup is a pretty interesting
33:29
one, but I'm really hoping that it's just not a you know, a
33:34
good match that obviously Red Velvet's probably going to lose, and uh, nothing
33:40
becomes of it. I hope they use it as an opportunity to get thunder
33:45
Rosa inserted into this Tony Storm and Deanna Parazzo thing, because I mean,
33:50
what happens to me, I've heard Hater's gonna hater? Didn't you know she
33:58
was? She was? She lost the belt, But we everybody knew she
34:00
was going to lose the belt, you know what I mean, because she
34:05
was injured. She was obviously injured, so and she lost it to who
34:09
Tony Storm I believe, right or was it a Karashida? I can't remember.
34:15
Yeah, I think it was. I think it was Tony Storm.
34:20
But my point is is that when you you know, forty degrees of separation,
34:24
you know, and or how many degrees it really is, I don't
34:29
even know. But how many is at six seven? I don't know.
34:32
I don't know. I'm a baby boomer. I have no idea what that
34:37
is. But anyway, yes, and then you know, hey, you
34:44
got Mercedes Monette probably showing up pretty soon. Yeah, I heard it was
34:50
like all but confirmed that she's Brian. Brian Alvarez and Sean Rass sap Are
34:59
boat Ross are both saying that the contract is signed. It's a dud deal.
35:07
Awesome, Yes, if it is. If it is true, great,
35:10
If it's not, then great. I don't know, you know,
35:14
it's just we'll have to wait and see when they when she shows up and
35:17
struts her stuff on the aw ramp heading to the ring, I'll be like,
35:22
Okay, she's here. Yeah, yeah, you gotta wait until it
35:28
actually happens, because it's not like these guys haven't been wrong many times before.
35:34
Oh God, and you go on like Twitter and stuff and they're still
35:37
saying that Stasha Banks is going to be showing up at the Royal Rumble and
35:43
you know, and so is Oh my gosh, But when you look at
35:45
it with with Mercedes Monett and Ocada out there and Julia out there and who
35:53
else is out there, Oh my gosh, you know, whoever gets if
36:00
if if aw could pull off a katamone and they've already gotten Osprey, That's
36:07
that's a huge deal. I'm sorry, but it is. We're getting a
36:10
little bit off topic here, all right, So what's the next match?
36:15
It kind of intrigues you the most, probably Strickland versus Jeff Hardy, And
36:23
I think that's interesting to me just because it's a first ever match and I
36:30
love Swarft Strickland and he always puts on an amazing match, and hopefully Jeff
36:37
Hardy's, you know, good enough to put on a good match. If
36:40
he had that war with Darby Allen on rampage and went through a table and
36:46
did some crazy bumps, but and then he showed a little bit of heel
36:53
energy at the end, refusing to kind of shake Darby's hand or give him
36:59
props. Right, uh so, yeah, it feels like they're kind of
37:02
trying to maybe do something with Jeff Hardy and and that'll be interesting. How
37:09
would you would you agree that Jeff Hardy's basically a glass cannon in this match
37:14
though, you mean as in he can't well, he's going he's a glass
37:22
cannon, a definition of glass cannon, a lot of offense, but he's
37:25
gonna get crushed as soon as he gets hit by something. Yeah, yeah,
37:30
I think that that's fair to say. Yeah, Like, you know,
37:36
Jeff Hardy obviously is best days are behind him, but he's still like
37:42
you still get kids in the crowd with Jeff Hardy makeup, and people still
37:45
go crazy when he comes out there. So he's still like got that star
37:51
factor. So i'd like he's been impressive in the break. He has been
37:55
pressive. I have to give it to him. He's not, you know,
38:00
like this old guy on his last legs. He's doing the work.
38:04
No, And I think because he's there with Matt Hardy, who is an
38:09
old guy on his last legs and he can't really move around so much,
38:14
and now he's kind of lumped in there in my head and maybe the heads
38:16
of others. So it's cool to see him getting some time by himself and
38:23
right, yeah, speaking of by himself, I'm gonna talk about a match
38:30
that is I don't tell what I feel about this match, and it's Adam
38:36
Copland at Medora Suzuki, otherwise known as the chop Best match. Because you
38:40
know that Adam Copeland's not gonna walk out of this match without a red chest.
38:51
Grandpa does not stand a chance in this match, but it will be
38:54
an entertaining match. Uh, just just get ready for the That's all I
39:01
can tell you. What a what a strange match, and it's cool.
39:07
It'll be cool to see them together. And Copeland's gonna make Minoro Suzuki just
39:13
look like the tiniest, littlest murdered Grandpa I've ever seen. Well, this
39:19
is this is a dream match. Would you not agree that this is a
39:22
dream match that probably Adam Copeland has been dying to have. Yeah, I
39:27
think what we're seeing now lately from Adam Copeland is just matches that he wants
39:32
to have, you know, Oh absolutely, He's like, okay, I've
39:37
put over you know. He made Griff Garrison look pretty good, you know,
39:42
and he's made what was this, uh Dante Martin, he made him
39:45
look pretty well. Yeah, nobody to be honestly, nobody has to make
39:49
mart Dante Martin look good. Martin is good, and you could probably add
39:52
him to that list of people that we wrestlers that we've already mentioned. But
39:57
yeah, I mean, so he's like, Okay, he even said it
40:00
last week. Okay, I fought these kids, I want a veteran.
40:04
Now, well he got it. He's probably got the veteran of all veterans.
40:07
I mean, this guy is murdered grandpa that you know. That's I
40:13
tell you, I'm probably gonna be giggling during this match when all these chops
40:16
happened. Count them. I guarantee you we're gonna have over one hundred,
40:22
and none of them are gonna probably come from Adam Copeland. Yeah, like
40:25
yeah, he's not really a chop guy, Like yeah, yeah, so
40:30
it's gonna be cool to see how they match up. And yes, then
40:36
have a big smile on his face. You know that he's probably just he's
40:42
not gonna be able to sleep tonight. I could just tell that Adam Copeland
40:45
is there's something about the way he's been talking that this is the match of
40:52
matches for him. I don't know why I want to see a you know,
40:59
a interview a non cafe interview with Adam Copeland about this match, because
41:06
he's gonna probably be like I'd love be some Monora Suzuki. You know.
41:09
Yeah, But so let's move on. Is there anything else on here that
41:15
you think is that sticks out for you? I guess, Mike pent A
41:22
Page that'll be a fun match. But I'm I'm not a huge Adam Page
41:27
fan, and I don't think Penta done anything too interesting in a while.
41:32
But probably Wardlow versus Bretta, it'll be fun to see Wardlow put on a
41:38
longer match because it's been a while. I you think it's going to be
41:43
a longer match. I think it'll be longer than a Ward Low two moves
41:49
in a power bomb and holid a night. It'll maybe be like a seven
41:54
minute match. I'm sure. I definitely gonna look at these look look at
41:59
the match card and tell me you don't think that this match is going to
42:01
be the shortest match of the night. Uh yeah, I mean it'll be
42:07
the shortest match for sure. But barretta he you know, he's he's there
42:16
to win one number one contender matches and then lose the the God match after
42:23
I tell you what Tremperetta's I mean, and I love Tremparretta. I'm gonna
42:29
say this to you, and I'd mean this in in the most frank and
42:34
honest way possible. Looking at aw wrestlers. If I could pick a wrestler
42:39
that I would be like, I want that guy's body to be my body,
42:45
you know, I want to look like that. It would be Tremperetta
42:47
for me, you know. To me, he just he looks like a
42:52
wrestler. He looks like an athlete. Yeah, you know, And I
42:57
just admired a heck out of Tremperetta. You know. And when he's going
43:00
against he's going against war. He's gonna come on. Yeah, you know,
43:08
it's not gonna be pretty. It's just not gonna be pretty. Oh
43:14
gosh, there's something that I wanted to talk about to wrap this up,
43:23
and I'm just kind of throwing this out there. We didn't prepare this,
43:28
so this is gonna be a pretty frank conversation. M H. As I
43:34
said earlier, Revolution is coming up on March third. We kind of know
43:42
or have a hint about what some of the matches maybe, but there's others
43:49
that we don't know. At all. What I mean by that is Tony
43:52
Storm looks like she's on a collision course with the Attaparazzo at at Revolution.
44:02
What else I mean? You can maybe make an argument that it looks like
44:07
we're going to be rowing Adam Coulplant against Christian Cage again at Revolution. But
44:15
look at the champions, the Trios Champions, aw Trio's champions, he acclaimed,
44:22
We don't really have a I mean other than maybe you know, some
44:27
people are saying the Bull Club Gold. Maybe look at Darby, Allen and
44:32
Sting. Are they going to be going against the Bucks? That? Are
44:36
the Bucks going to be the tag team champions when they when they clashed?
44:44
Correct me if I'm wrong, But I feel like maybe Sting and Darby had
44:49
challenged Ricky Starks and Big Bill, So maybe it's not going to be the
44:53
young Bucks going in as the champions, but it's going to be Darby and
44:58
Sting going in is the champampions? Okay, Okay, that makes a heck
45:01
of a lot more sense to me, to be honest with you. Then
45:06
you have Samoa Joe. Now we already had this thing about against Hook,
45:10
but we also have Wardlow and god, who else is Adam Page swear Strickland.
45:21
Yeah, they're all kind of circling around. Yeah, they're like vultures.
45:24
But no match has been set yet. I mean even hook can get
45:27
involved in that. You know. So are we going to see a almost
45:34
a battle royal for the World Championship? And then you look at the TVs
45:38
Championship Julia Hart. There's nothing going on with Julia Hart right now. There's
45:45
not a no clue. That would be just thrown together match like they used
45:47
to do with Jay Cargill in the old days. Hey, it's the rampage
45:51
before you know, it's a rampage before the pay per view. We need
45:54
to come up with Jay Cargill match. Okay, hey Adam, what are
45:58
you doing on Sunday? You know kind things? You know, I mean,
46:02
just look at it. I mean, Eddie Kingston, what are you
46:08
doing there? Are we going to have him defend the continental title? I
46:15
think they're they're maybe hinting at him versus the Brian Danielson, which I'm not,
46:22
but yeah, that's maybe. You know what, I'm not excited.
46:25
I'm not excited for that because I don't want to see Brian Danielson lose.
46:31
I at this point. I don't think anybody. I don't think anybody can
46:36
beat Eddie Kingston in the in the booking table, on the booking table.
46:44
But I hate to see people lose Eddie Kingston. Yeah, I mean,
46:47
yeah, they just he just won the tournament. He has these all these
46:52
titles. Now you can't just take it away from him right away. Yeah.
46:57
Ultimately, what I want to see is, you know, you know,
47:04
a seed of doubt in some of these matches at Revolution. I mean,
47:08
we could see some pretty impressive debuts at Revolution, you know, and
47:15
and returns. I mean, don't forget. We still have Britt Baker,
47:17
who has not been on TV a long time. We have not seen Jamie
47:21
Hayter in a long time. Megan Bain is coming back. Her time at
47:25
Stardom is over. Yu Kazakazaki's time at t J p W is over.
47:32
She's coming back. And that's just on the women's side. You could see
47:37
Ocada, You could see Okada. Uh. You could see a bunch of
47:43
stuff going on us will Osprey. They say that he's going to be at
47:49
Revolution. What are we doing? I mean, is he to be the
47:53
one that fights? Is he going to be at the battle Royal against them
47:57
ow Joe I or is he going to be the one to going after Eddie
48:02
Kingston. That's where I would put him, will Osprey. Will Osprey against
48:07
Eddie Kingston would be Look because all the people that could be booked, Claudio
48:14
Cassigjoli, he's going to lose to Kingston. Danielson is going to lose the
48:19
Kingston. Moxley is gonna lose the Kingston. You put Eddie, but will
48:22
Osprey against Kingston. Ausbrey's going to be Kingston. Oh yeah, that's why
48:27
I want to see will Osprey against Eddie Kingston. Yeah. So, I
48:34
mean they're gonna have the aw Face of the Revolution ladder match for a title
48:39
match. I mean that's gonna happen. I assume. Oh that's right.
48:45
I forgot about the Face of the Revolution. What that last time? That
48:52
was? That was the MJF. That was the whole That was the one
48:54
that was a rigged match, wasn't it was? That was that might have
49:00
been two years ago. That was a long time ago, because yeah,
49:05
when the double or that was double or nothing that yeah, because he got
49:09
the poker chip. Yeah yeah, I think the Feast of the Revolution is
49:15
that maybe only for the Tee and T title. I'm trying to remember their
49:22
different gimmick matches here. Yeah, I don't know, but I totally forgot
49:30
about that match. It would be interesting. That's gonna be interesting, Yes,
49:37
Like for me, I'm looking at the card. I think I think
49:40
we're probably going to get acclaimed versus Billet Club Gold. I think you think
49:45
it's gonna happen at Revolution, Okay, I think Unfortunately, I don't know
49:49
if that has to be the end of them. That could be like a
49:52
friendly challenge within the group. And I don't think it has to be them.
50:00
I don't think it has to be the end of the Bank Bank Scissor
50:02
Gang. That could just be you know, maybe it'll be presented as a
50:07
friendly challenge, but Daddy ass sides with his sons and takes out the acclaim.
50:15
Yes please, I'm really good at stupid bad fantasy book, you know,
50:22
emphasis on stupid. Yeah, But I mean, my thing is is
50:29
that there are a lot of there's eight belts in aw right now, not
50:34
including the FTW title, and there's really a lot of stuff that has to
50:40
be accomplished between now and March third, so that we have an idea,
50:46
So I think you're going to see a lot of stuff. And I personally,
50:52
you know, I do want to see Britt Baker and Jamie Hater and
50:55
and Yu Kazakazaki, and I want to see uh, Megan Bain, and
51:00
I want to see Mercedes Bonett and I just want to see I mean,
51:06
when you look, my god, if we have these women come back or
51:14
debut in a w for Revolution, I will argue that AW has the best
51:22
a women's division in all of professional wrestling, maybe the best women's division that
51:29
has ever been presented in professional wrestling. Those are some big names and that
51:37
holy cow, if you get Julia in there, oh god, yeah,
51:44
yeah, I think. Yeah, Mercedes Monette, she really if they get
51:50
her and they bring all these other women back and Megan Baine and so on,
51:53
and yeah, it'll just be a real coup for AW. It's like
52:00
a lot of these women have kind of hit another level and then to just
52:04
bring it all together at AW Revolution, like I'm kind of imagining. Remember
52:09
when they had Adam Cole debut and then they had Brian Daniels. So yeah,
52:17
they managed to do something crazy, like you know, Jamie Hayter comes
52:22
back, and then Mercedes Monet comes out and maybe even other women before that.
52:25
That could be a really cool moment for sure. Yeah, I mean
52:32
I'm hoping that they really start to ramp up the Road to Revolution on Dynamite
52:42
tomorrow night. Yeah. They need to. I hope they do because I
52:50
want to see this. I want to see stories alongside these fantastic matches.
52:55
Yeah. In my number one request for aw Revolution is FTR and House of
53:05
Black have been just like burning down the house every Collision for the last three
53:12
or four weeks, and they just need to have a match involving them on
53:19
Revolution. Well aren't they doing that match on Collisions the cage match? They
53:27
are? Right, they are, and that makes me worried. I want
53:30
these guys to be on the biggest stage at all times. But I think
53:34
it's great that we're getting that match next week. But I just want to
53:37
also get these guys on the pay per view as well. We will see
53:44
what happens. I mean, I'm looking forward to some resolution to Revolution on
53:52
the Road to Revolution tomorrow night, really, am, And what do you
53:57
think? Let's leave it at that, Let's wrap this up and uh gosh,
54:02
I just really want to watch dynamite. We gotta wait another sleep,
54:07
one more sleep till dynamite. One more sleep. Yeah yeah, it's always
54:12
the highlight of the week. Oh yeah, so collisions getting there, man,
54:15
I've enjoying collisions as much as dynamite, to be honest with you.
54:20
Oh yeah, me too. So yeah, it's a good time to be
54:24
an AW wrestling fan, it's for sure. So anyway, this is Kelson,
54:31
This is Alex. Good night, everybody. Good night.
