- 0:18Speaker 1: well not everything. That would take well forever right if
- 0:21Speaker 1: we talk about everything, but we'll talk about a lot
- 0:24Speaker 1: of stuff. Let's get started. This is Kelson fan Hub.
- 0:29Speaker 2: This is Tucci on TikTok. Julia Hart posted to raise
- 0:33Speaker 2: awareness for the eating disorder our FID. Julia says she
- 0:37Speaker 2: was diagnosed with URFID in November and has been in

- 1:08Speaker 5: Bojul Greetings from Montreal.
- 1:10Speaker 6: This is vow So Startum President Taro Okada has announced
- 1:16Speaker 6: that Stardom is sending four of its wrestlers to the
- 1:20Speaker 6: United States on excursion.
- 1:22Speaker 5: For the months of July and August.

- 1:30Speaker 7: Grand Prix Tournament and they are from less to right,
- 1:36Speaker 7: Rana Yagami, Shuri Azuki and four.
- 1:41Speaker 8: Watch on in Bojeou from beautiful Orlando, Florida. This is
- 1:47Speaker 8: the one and only, bury My triumphant return of the podcast.
- 1:49Speaker 8: We got some fun news coming up. We got a
- 1:52Speaker 8: fun little contest. We're gonna be doing AW Bingo, So
- 1:56Speaker 8: if you're interested, here's how the rules work. You can
- 1:59Speaker 8: get your bingo hard. It generates automatically for you from
- 2:02Speaker 8: the AW fan Hub Reddit. It's the only place you
- 2:05Speaker 8: can get it, so you do need to go there
- 2:06Speaker 8: if you want to participate. You don't need to post
- 2:08Speaker 8: and do any other crazy stuff if you're not into Reddit,
- 2:11Speaker 8: but you do need an account to get the bingo
- 2:13Speaker 8: card there. It will be generated for you automatically and
- 2:15Speaker 8: follow your account, and then to play, you just have
- 2:19Speaker 8: to watch AW Dynamite Collision and AP pay per views
- 2:24Speaker 8: broadcast on and after June tenth. So we're going to
- 2:27Speaker 8: start tomorrow on the tenth, and when something happens under
- 2:30Speaker 8: Bingo card, you're going to market. You just got to
- 2:32Speaker 8: click on it and it'll store that forever. Bingo is
- 2:35Speaker 8: achieved when you complete a straight line, vertically, horizontal, or diagonally.
- 2:40Speaker 8: It may sound stupid that we have to explain how
- 2:42Speaker 8: bingo works to people, but you'd be surprised how many
- 2:44Speaker 8: people have no idea how bingo works. The card is
- 2:47Speaker 8: going to be four by four. I know you're used
- 2:49Speaker 8: to five by five, but we're going to do four
- 2:50Speaker 8: by four for the first time out. And when you
- 2:53Speaker 8: get a Bingo, you just have to post bingo in
- 2:56Speaker 8: our aw fan hub subreddit live chat, or you can
- 3:00Speaker 8: also do it on the discord and just let one
- 3:02Speaker 8: of the moderators know and we can help you out
- 3:03Speaker 8: there as well. After you claim your bingo, you need
- 3:06Speaker 8: to post a screenshot of your completed Bengo card on
- 3:09Speaker 8: the live chat or DM the screenshot to Kelson on
- 3:13Speaker 8: the aw fan hub subreddit. We're going to try to
- 3:16Speaker 8: call out when bingo events happen in the live chat,
- 3:19Speaker 8: so be sure to follow and participate in either of those.
- 3:22Speaker 8: If no one reaches Bingo during Dynamite, the game continues
- 3:25Speaker 8: and carries on over to collision, and then we keep
- 3:28Speaker 8: moving until somebody gets bingo so hopefully it doesn't take
- 3:32Speaker 8: more than a week, but if it does, we'll keep rolling.
- 3:34Speaker 8: The winner is going to be contacted via Reddit via
- 3:37Speaker 8: direct message, and once you are a winner, you get
- 3:41Speaker 8: to go to the shop aw store, take a screenshot
- 3:44Speaker 8: of the T shirt you want, and please make sure
- 3:47Speaker 8: you please make sure to check that the size is
- 3:50Speaker 8: available first. We can't order a T shirt for you
- 3:52Speaker 8: if it's out of stock, and then we'll need your
- 3:55Speaker 8: shipping information and we will send the winner of Bingo
- 3:58Speaker 8: a free T shirt from shop aw. We're going to
- 4:00Speaker 8: continue to do these giveaways all the way through all
- 4:03Speaker 8: in whether that's monthly or whatever. Work out those details.
- 4:06Speaker 8: We want to continue this going forward, and we're hoping
- 4:09Speaker 8: it brings a lot of fun to the people who
- 4:11Speaker 8: have been loyal viewers and listeners and participants on the
- 4:14Speaker 8: subreddit and on our discord. Keelson back to you, buddy.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Thanks Barry. You know, we've already got eighty three people
- 4:22Speaker 1: playing bingo, so it's going to be some fun. And
- 4:25Speaker 1: you know, hopefully the live chat is lively, both on
- 4:28Speaker 1: the subreddit and on the discord. And speaking of the
- 4:33Speaker 1: live chat, some interesting news is that Reddit has a
- 4:39Speaker 1: monthly moderator newsletter and aw fhanhubs live chat was featured
- 4:46Speaker 1: on the newsletter, So aw fhan Hubs getting a little
- 4:51Speaker 1: bit of recognition. Thank you, Reddit and the Redditive Men's
- 4:54Speaker 1: do you know posted this for us. The other was
- 4:58Speaker 1: one other person before we get with the show, there's
- 5:01Speaker 1: one other person that I want to think, and I
- 5:04Speaker 1: made a post on our aw fan hub x account,
- 5:08Speaker 1: so please follow us there at aw fan hub, I
- 5:12Speaker 1: made a post about Hazuki and her what I considered
- 5:16Speaker 1: kind of a surprise win, you know. I said, we
- 5:19Speaker 1: can't say that we predicted Hazuki to defeat Persephone, but
- 5:24Speaker 1: we predict a Match of the Year contender when Azuki
- 5:27Speaker 1: gets a rematch against Mercedes Monet. And it was liked
- 5:31Speaker 1: by Tony Kahan, and as far as I can remember,
- 5:34Speaker 1: that is the first time ever that Tony Kahan has
- 5:39Speaker 1: liked anything that we've ever posted, and we've made thousands
- 5:43Speaker 1: of posts. So thanks Tony, You're our hero. Speaking of
- 5:49Speaker 1: other heroes, before we get into our into the show,
- 5:53Speaker 1: our friends over at EPW Show. At EPW Show, that's
- 5:57Speaker 1: the Everything Pro Wrestling podcast, they are doing a Dynamite review.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Shortly after Dynamite goes off to the air tomorrow and
- 6:10Speaker 1: just join them. It's a fun interactive show. Speaking of which,
- 6:15Speaker 1: one of their people that are in their live chat
- 6:19Speaker 1: constantly clown. Good to see you, brother, after he says,
- 6:22Speaker 1: afternoon everyone, and he then went on to say, I'm
- 6:26Speaker 1: an old member. I'm old. I remember, I'm an old member.
- 6:31Speaker 1: He says, I'm old. I remember my grandma and mom
- 6:34Speaker 1: played Bingo and had a whole bag of dobbers, all
- 6:37Speaker 1: different colors. I think you bet colors not all different clothes.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Did you beat clothes? Clown? Are you clown on us?
- 6:46Speaker 1: And is that what those little things are? Dobbers? I
- 6:50Speaker 1: don't know. I'm old and I never played Bingo in
- 6:52Speaker 1: my life, so whatever, But anyway, let's get on with
- 6:57Speaker 1: the show tomorrow night. AW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster. I think
- 7:05Speaker 1: the biggest matches that I'm looking forward to are the
- 7:08Speaker 1: owen Hart Foundation matches. We've got Swerve Strickland versus Brody
- 7:14Speaker 1: King in the men's tournament semi final. Who is going
- 7:18Speaker 1: to be the most dangerous man in AW Guys? Is
- 7:22Speaker 1: it going to be Swerve keeping his ground or do
- 7:25Speaker 1: you think Brody's gonna come through for us?
- 7:27Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Swerve.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Okay, is there a particular reason?
- 7:33Speaker 6: Well, I want to see Swerve versus Ospray in the final,
- 7:38Speaker 6: so probably everybody's gonna say that. But it's the rematch
- 7:44Speaker 6: from Revolution, so that that match was very, very good,
- 7:48Speaker 6: So I'm expecting another banger match from D two.
- 7:52Speaker 5: I love brody King.
- 7:53Speaker 6: I've been a fan since he debuted was the House
- 7:59Speaker 6: of Black.
- 8:01Speaker 5: I don't know what, I don't know.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I I love him.
- 8:06Speaker 6: I love him, But sorry, Brody I'm gonna go with Swerve.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it makes sense. Anybody let me ask this,
- 8:15Speaker 1: Is there anybody who gives brody King a chance in this?
- 8:19Speaker 1: Is there anybody who's going to brody King?
- 8:20Speaker 8: Way?
- 8:20Speaker 1: Is christ go ahead?
- 8:25Speaker 4: I I think Swerve is gonna win, But it's one
- 8:28Speaker 4: of those where it's like fifty one nine, like Brodie
- 8:32Speaker 4: King could absolutely win this.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Yeah, this feels like a could go either way.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Swerve is more likely, but we all thought for Sephanie
- 8:42Speaker 4: was gonna win, and as Lukey came out with the win.
- 8:45Speaker 3: So you know we've already been proven.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Wrong, so to say once it could easily happen again.
- 8:54Speaker 4: I mean, brody King is a big Bad Mother, and
- 8:59Speaker 4: that's where I'm gonna myself off.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Well, I thank you for that. You know you said
- 9:04Speaker 1: that everybody expected Persephone to win. That's not exactly true,
- 9:10Speaker 1: but it's close to true. Look on the AW fanhub subreddit,
- 9:14Speaker 1: we do prediction polls. We have a prediction polls up
- 9:17Speaker 1: right now for the I believe five matches in the
- 9:21Speaker 1: AW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster for tomorrow night. You can go
- 9:25Speaker 1: vote in those prediction polls until seven fifty nine, one
- 9:30Speaker 1: minute before the show starts. We did the prediction polls
- 9:34Speaker 1: for the Persephone and Azuki match, and I think Hazuki
- 9:40Speaker 1: only got thirteen percent of the vote since she came
- 9:43Speaker 1: away with the victory. So I'm going to put people
- 9:48Speaker 1: on the spot. We're going to future book here since
- 9:51Speaker 1: everybody kind of for everybody's silence, I guess everybody thinks
- 9:55Speaker 1: we're strictly is going to win this match. Let's look,
- 9:59Speaker 1: let's look forward Forbidden Door in the finals. First impressions,
- 10:03Speaker 1: Who do you think? When's this the finalt Yeah? Will Ospray,
- 10:06Speaker 1: I mean swear Strickland.
- 10:08Speaker 8: The narrative is is Will's going to be the guy
- 10:11Speaker 8: this year. So I think they're coming back to this match.
- 10:17Speaker 8: They've got the history with Swerving Brody for the most
- 10:20Speaker 8: dangerous man, you know, that's kind of their little mini feud,
- 10:22Speaker 8: so they'll continue that. But the biggest match for the
- 10:25Speaker 8: pay per view is is Swerving Osprey, and Osprey is
- 10:29Speaker 8: going to be the guy. That's what the big narrative
- 10:31Speaker 8: is about, and that's the crown this year. And so
- 10:35Speaker 8: unless or barring injury, I don't see how Will doesn't
- 10:38Speaker 8: win at the pay per view either.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Oh, barring injury from Will and from swear Strickland. Does
- 10:44Speaker 1: anybody have any different insights into this match?
- 10:47Speaker 4: No, I think Osprey wins it. I think it is interesting.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Was it two years ago? Weren't they the title match
- 10:57Speaker 4: that Forbidden Door? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
- 11:01Speaker 8: They had a singles match. It wasn't for a belt though, Okay.
- 11:05Speaker 4: For some reason I thought it was was champed.
- 11:09Speaker 8: Well, maybe you're right, I think so, but I could
- 11:12Speaker 8: be wrong.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I'm going to go against the grain here. Look let's
- 11:17Speaker 1: look at Persephone and Azuki. Yeah, a vast majority of
- 11:21Speaker 1: people thought that that uh Azuki was not going to
- 11:25Speaker 1: win that match, and yet she did. A vast majority
- 11:29Speaker 1: of people assumed that will Ospray from the very beginning
- 11:32Speaker 1: of the owen Hart tournament, assumed that will Osprey was
- 11:36Speaker 1: the final boss going to you know, to to all
- 11:41Speaker 1: In as the champion. I'm picking Swerve in this match,
- 11:45Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you why. John Moxley is
- 11:49Speaker 1: the reason why I believe that John Moxley is going
- 11:53Speaker 1: to cost will Osprey the match in the finals at
- 11:58Speaker 1: Forbidden Door between swear Strickland and and uh will Osprey
- 12:03Speaker 1: and cost will Osprey this match, and so the big
- 12:07Speaker 1: match at all In will then be John Moxley and
- 12:13Speaker 1: Will Ospray for the continental title. So that's my thought.
- 12:19Speaker 8: They're not going to take the chance to crown will
- 12:22Speaker 8: as the champion for the first time in London and
- 12:26Speaker 8: possibly the only chance they're going to get for the
- 12:28Speaker 8: foreseeable future to do that.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Well, let me put it this way, swear Strickland is
- 12:32Speaker 1: so swarmy that one of the things and you never
- 12:36Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. This match for the continental title
- 12:39Speaker 1: may be earlier in the show, and swear Strickland and
- 12:43Speaker 1: mjf who were just two of the just vile people
- 12:48Speaker 1: they can be, you know, in k Fabe in wrestling,
- 12:52Speaker 1: they may say, hey, Will Osprey, you beat John Moxley
- 12:55Speaker 1: and you can and you can enter the title match
- 12:58Speaker 1: as a three way. We I would like to see,
- 13:01Speaker 1: if anything, I'd like to see Osprey come out of
- 13:03Speaker 1: all In with two titles. How would that be?
- 13:06Speaker 5: You mean put two titles?
- 13:08Speaker 1: You mean John puts John John Moxley against Will Osprey
- 13:12Speaker 1: for the Continental title. Osprey wins, and then Osprey joins
- 13:18Speaker 1: the World Championship title match in a three way he
- 13:21Speaker 1: wins that, and and Will Osprey is now the continental
- 13:25Speaker 1: and world title.
- 13:27Speaker 4: Okay, hold on, who are you? And what it can
- 13:29Speaker 4: do Withlon because we all know Helston hates double champions.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I do hate double champions And so then Kyle Fletcher
- 13:36Speaker 1: will then come out and murder Will Ospray.
- 13:40Speaker 3: He's gonna do that anyway.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just know that that's gonna happen, everybody.
- 13:48Speaker 8: I was talking with a buddy of mine and we
- 13:51Speaker 8: were kind of going back and forth of predictability, and
- 13:54Speaker 8: he the gist of it is some people are frustrated like, well,
- 13:57Speaker 8: you know, we know predictability and blah blah blah. And
- 14:00Speaker 8: I just kept thinking, when you watch a movie, you
- 14:03Speaker 8: know the good guy is going to win in the
- 14:04Speaker 8: end unless it's a horrifleck and so it's not about predictability.
- 14:08Speaker 8: And Meltzer brought this up on one of his shows
- 14:11Speaker 8: on Observer Radio not too long ago last week. I
- 14:13Speaker 8: think predictability isn't necessarily bad good pro wrestling. If you
- 14:18Speaker 8: look even back to the Territory days, it is relatively predictable.
- 14:21Speaker 8: The key is the journey, and I think what Kelson
- 14:24Speaker 8: just highlighted there is a unique journey to still get
- 14:28Speaker 8: to the predictable outcome that we expect, which is Will
- 14:32Speaker 8: winning the championship. And Kelson, what you outlined is a
- 14:35Speaker 8: very unique way to get there while adding in some
- 14:39Speaker 8: some swerves for a little wink wick non cliche or
- 14:43Speaker 8: what's the pun there?
- 14:46Speaker 1: Well, you know I got to say something barry to
- 14:48Speaker 1: you right now. I really appreciate you using the word
- 14:52Speaker 1: unique instead of the words ridiculously demented. I really do
- 14:58Speaker 1: appreciate that. Thank you, pal.
- 15:00Speaker 8: You know, two sides of the same coin. Go ahead.
- 15:03Speaker 8: I'm gay.
- 15:04Speaker 9: I just feel like no one's forcing Will will end there.
- 15:08Speaker 9: He doesn't have to win it in his home country. Yes,
- 15:11Speaker 9: it would be great, but remember that if Word wins,
- 15:15Speaker 9: MJF could get a hold of of Adam Page to say, hey,
- 15:19Speaker 9: can you help me beats where because I want to
- 15:21Speaker 9: keep my title. The lots of opportunities.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Besides, besides, besides that, just.
- 15:26Speaker 9: Because we want Will end the finals doesn't mean he
- 15:31Speaker 9: has to be.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I understand that. Look, my fantasy booking
- 15:35Speaker 1: is I'm just trying to like Berri's. I'm just trying
- 15:38Speaker 1: to be unique because this so telegraphed that if Will
- 15:43Speaker 1: Osprey wins it, it's like, okay, you know, I don't
- 15:46Speaker 1: see how people can get fired up over it if
- 15:48Speaker 1: he just wins it by just winning it, you know,
- 15:52Speaker 1: I that's all I'm saying. I want. I say winning it.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I mean at all end the World Chip Championship. Yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 1: the people in London will go crazy, but everybody he
- 16:00Speaker 1: expects it. There's gonna be nobody in the crowd and
- 16:03Speaker 1: nobody watching the pay per view at home or wherever.
- 16:06Speaker 1: At a bar that's gonna be like, oh, well, Washbury
- 16:09Speaker 1: lost that match. Huh, that's a surprise. Everybody's gonna think
- 16:13Speaker 1: that he's gonna win.
- 16:15Speaker 8: I don't know if that's a bad thing.
- 16:17Speaker 2: I just kin't know, watching Back the Swerve, watching back
- 16:21Speaker 2: the Swerve and Osprey match from last year's Blockbuster. I
- 16:25Speaker 2: mean they could do so much with that already and
- 16:29Speaker 2: their match at two years ago Forbidden Door. There's so
- 16:33Speaker 2: much to do there that I agree with. The predictability
- 16:36Speaker 2: is not a bad a bad thing.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, to Barry's point, using Barry's words,
- 16:44Speaker 1: you know, fan service is not necessarily a bad thing,
- 16:47Speaker 1: and this would be the ultimate fan service.
- 16:50Speaker 8: Well, look too, like like this past week, and Nett,
- 16:54Speaker 8: I don't want to keep talking because I know there's
- 16:56Speaker 8: some other folks that want to chime in here, and
- 16:58Speaker 8: I want to be take But I look at Dynamite
- 17:02Speaker 8: this last week. I don't think anybody expected Dunk still
- 17:06Speaker 8: a win. So how do you make that match entertaining
- 17:12Speaker 8: and keep people on the edge of their seats? And
- 17:16Speaker 8: there were multiple times in that match where I was
- 17:18Speaker 8: just like, I maybe he's gonna lose, And it's like,
- 17:22Speaker 8: that's all you gotta do. You got to make that
- 17:26Speaker 8: doubt believable to kind of just reward the payoff. We
- 17:31Speaker 8: all know that it's coming a little bit better. And
- 17:34Speaker 8: you look at the Marvel movies, like everybody knew the
- 17:37Speaker 8: good guys were gonna kill Fanos, they knew they were
- 17:39Speaker 8: going to get the revenge, but we did. Yeah spoiler sorry,
- 17:43Speaker 8: But like the end of Infinity War was pretty shocking
- 17:47Speaker 8: to see Thanos win at that point, he dusted heroes
- 17:51Speaker 8: we didn't expect. And then the journey and endgame was
- 17:56Speaker 8: how do they regroup and get back at them? And
- 18:00Speaker 8: that's kind of what I saw happen on Wednesday, And
- 18:02Speaker 8: that's the kind of stuff you need to do. And
- 18:05Speaker 8: that's kind of like when you were saying Kelson with
- 18:07Speaker 8: the unique way to still get there, Like the moment
- 18:10Speaker 8: to crown will Osprey is at Wembley, it all in.
- 18:13Speaker 8: This is the last chance. This is the only chance
- 18:15Speaker 8: they're going to get to do this the first time
- 18:18Speaker 8: for him and make him the guy. So like that's
- 18:21Speaker 8: an okay moment, Just like we all knew for WWE,
- 18:24Speaker 8: Cody was going to finish his story at some point.
- 18:27Speaker 8: This is that equivalent here, But how do you get
- 18:31Speaker 8: there and keep it interesting? And having seen the way
- 18:33Speaker 8: they did Dynamite last week, I have a lot of
- 18:35Speaker 8: faith they're going to do some fun stuff. Maybe it's crazy,
- 18:38Speaker 8: like when you suggestin Kelson but I got some faith
- 18:41Speaker 8: it's going to be a fun ride here, and that's
- 18:43Speaker 8: really what I'm interested in.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Anybody else want to chime in on this, on this
- 18:46Speaker 1: match and the future after this.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Match, a little bit of the future. More so about
- 18:52Speaker 2: the future of the owen Hart tournament. I think there
- 18:57Speaker 2: was so much that could have been done to be
- 19:00Speaker 2: an overall unpredictable tournament by putting some main event players
- 19:05Speaker 2: in this tournament. I personally didn't like Jack Perry versus
- 19:09Speaker 2: Dunk Sila as somewhat of a filler match to eventually
- 19:14Speaker 2: put Mark Davis against Osprey. I didn't necessarily like Claudio
- 19:20Speaker 2: and Brody King just to set this matchup. It kind
- 19:23Speaker 2: of gave us two Really, since the start of the tournament,
- 19:28Speaker 2: we've been talking about Swerd versus Osprey, and I feel
- 19:31Speaker 2: like all the matches were just used as a vessel
- 19:34Speaker 2: for this with so many people to truly keep a
- 19:39Speaker 2: tournament unpredictable, especially an eight man tournament, that would be
- 19:43Speaker 2: something I want to see from a future owen Hart.
- 19:46Speaker 3: No.
- 19:46Speaker 1: I get it because in the past on this podcast,
- 19:50Speaker 1: during the owen Hart tournaments, and the men were kind
- 19:52Speaker 1: of predictable, the women were not predictable, and we're going
- 19:55Speaker 1: to talk about the women's match, and right now we've
- 20:00Speaker 1: got sky Blue versus Sirie in the quarterfinals. I have
- 20:06Speaker 1: my own fantasy booking for this too, but I want
- 20:09Speaker 1: to hear what you guys think and who's going to
- 20:12Speaker 1: win this match?
- 20:14Speaker 6: First?
- 20:15Speaker 3: Well, if it is the ring, that's the big deal,
- 20:19Speaker 3: you know, like and she's still not.
- 20:24Speaker 8: Right.
- 20:24Speaker 3: I think that probably a little.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Hey fabe and she will end up in the match
- 20:30Speaker 4: and I think she'll win it. But this could be
- 20:34Speaker 4: one of those where they kind of use that and
- 20:37Speaker 4: sky Blue gets a big win. This is another one
- 20:41Speaker 4: where I think I know who's gonna win, but I'm not.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Gonna be shopped if they don't.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Like both of the owen Hart Tournament matches are is
- 20:54Speaker 4: probably going to go this way, But what if it doesn't.
- 20:58Speaker 1: I get you anybody else with opinion.
- 21:02Speaker 2: I think the women's owen Hart Tournament is exactly the opposite,
- 21:05Speaker 2: where there's someone from each quadrant that brings something to it,
- 21:11Speaker 2: and I feel like it has a lot more room
- 21:14Speaker 2: for discussion rather than just oh we're gonna see Osprey
- 21:17Speaker 2: and Swear, especially with Mercedes coming in as the wild card.
- 21:23Speaker 2: I don't think whatever the left bracket was gonna I
- 21:29Speaker 2: guess lead up to. I think the left side bracket
- 21:33Speaker 2: is a total audible and I love that side. Now
- 21:39Speaker 2: with the Azuki win and Mercedes coming back.
- 21:41Speaker 1: All right, anybody else with any thoughts predictions on the
- 21:46Speaker 1: sky Blue and Surren match and what happens going further
- 21:50Speaker 1: in the future with the owen Hart on the women's side, here,
- 21:53Speaker 1: I'm gonna.
- 21:53Speaker 5: Go and I'm Surrey for me.
- 21:58Speaker 6: I've never seen her wrestle, so I don't have any
- 22:02Speaker 6: opinion on how she is.
- 22:05Speaker 5: But I know you Kelson. You you know her and
- 22:08Speaker 5: you think she's extraordinary.
- 22:10Speaker 6: So if she wrestles tomorrow and I see her, and
- 22:16Speaker 6: I will make my own opinion.
- 22:17Speaker 5: But for my sake, I will go on another direction.
- 22:23Speaker 6: And I'm going to give sky Bleu a chance, and
- 22:26Speaker 6: I'm gonna says she went Valerie.
- 22:29Speaker 1: I'll give you a little bit of insight on Suri.
- 22:31Speaker 1: When Pro Wrestling Illustrated comes out with their you know,
- 22:35Speaker 1: Women's two fifty every year. I don't remember where SuRie
- 22:41Speaker 1: was ranked on that, but I know she was pretty high.
- 22:44Speaker 1: But whenever you rank those, when you know you post
- 22:47Speaker 1: a rank, you're gonna have fans. They're going to say,
- 22:50Speaker 1: you know who they think should be at the top five.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Had a lot of fans at Seria in the top five.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Some of them even had her number one, and it's
- 22:58Speaker 1: hard to argue with it. She is that good.
- 23:00Speaker 2: I been going along with that. The Sire Athena is
- 23:03Speaker 2: the match to see. I mean that alone is pay
- 23:06Speaker 2: per view level. Nothing against Sky, you know. I just
- 23:10Speaker 2: it's uh Sis just crushing it in Japan, and I
- 23:16Speaker 2: want to see Athena. So I'm picking Seri in this.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Well. Athena's got her hands full coming up on Global
- 23:22Speaker 1: War Cincinnati, which probably would be taping either to either
- 23:27Speaker 1: Tomorrow night or Thursday night because she's facing IWGP Women's
- 23:31Speaker 1: World Champion Shuri for the Ring of Honor World Championship.
- 23:36Speaker 1: So and that Global War Cincinnati will air on June
- 23:40Speaker 1: eighteenth on on her Club. Just to throw that out there.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Promo promo, Tony con.
- 23:44Speaker 8: Give us a like I had, I had a chance to,
- 23:49Speaker 8: I'd seen a match to Sari and start him. I
- 23:51Speaker 8: think Helson you maybe suggested it. And I had a
- 23:54Speaker 8: chance to see Serie Russell Alex Windser live at the
- 23:57Speaker 8: Lakeland Collision taping a wild act and if I posted
- 24:02Speaker 8: a link in the discord, but it's that matches up
- 24:04Speaker 8: on YouTube. So if you want to be introduced to
- 24:06Speaker 8: what Suri brings to the table, just google Sire versus
- 24:11Speaker 8: Alex Winsor or put it in YouTube and that match
- 24:13Speaker 8: will come up and you'll get an idea what she
- 24:15Speaker 8: brings to the table. And I think you're really going
- 24:18Speaker 8: to be happy assuming she's able to wrestle. They're playing
- 24:20Speaker 8: up that that neck thing, so I actually could see
- 24:24Speaker 8: assuming it's k Fame Sky winning because Surree's quote unquote
- 24:29Speaker 8: neck is hurt, and then them running back a rematch
- 24:32Speaker 8: after Sky loses later in the tournament at Forbidden Doors,
- 24:34Speaker 8: one of the Forbidden Nor matches kind of a revenge match.
- 24:37Speaker 8: I would be shocked if Sky goes over, But a
- 24:39Speaker 8: good introduction to Surrey if you want to see what
- 24:41Speaker 8: she does with some American tanelents her and that Alex
- 24:43Speaker 8: Windsor match. It was a ring a Monor match, And
- 24:45Speaker 8: like I said, it's up on YouTube.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Are you ready for my fantasy booking on this one?
- 24:50Speaker 1: Because I have something to say, Yes, go what When
- 24:54Speaker 1: I first saw this match show up in the brackets,
- 24:57Speaker 1: and this had I don't know why, but I I
- 25:00Speaker 1: have never thought that Siree was going to beat sky Blue.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Some of it was based on sirie is not wrestled
- 25:06Speaker 1: in a month, she has a neck injury. The Takumi
- 25:11Speaker 1: thing kind of is playing up that angle with the
- 25:15Speaker 1: neck injury. Of course that that just came out really yesterday,
- 25:20Speaker 1: so that had no bearing on what I thought. But
- 25:23Speaker 1: I've always thought that sky Blue is going to win.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Now I'm even more convinced. Aw On TV's account on
- 25:31Speaker 1: Twitter or X revealed that Trigon Lamandness will be appearing
- 25:39Speaker 1: at aw Dynamite tomorrow night. Of course, Redee Piquette, I'm
- 25:45Speaker 1: sure you've seen her close up videos where she interviews wrestlers.
- 25:51Speaker 1: A couple hours ago, they released an interview with sky Blue.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Why would you do an interview with somebody that's destined
- 25:59Speaker 1: to lou a big match, you do an interview with
- 26:02Speaker 1: somebody who's destined to win. At least that's my opinion.
- 26:06Speaker 1: What I think is gonna happen is that the Triangle
- 26:10Speaker 1: of Madness will Ceree is probably gonna do something, maybe
- 26:14Speaker 1: an angle where she's say, maybe I shouldn't wrestle my
- 26:17Speaker 1: neck hurts kind of thing. But the Triangle Madness take
- 26:20Speaker 1: out Takumi and it kind of forces Serena to go
- 26:23Speaker 1: out there and she can't beat sky Blue, even though
- 26:26Speaker 1: she is a superior wrestler. I think sky Blue would
- 26:29Speaker 1: even admit that because Saria is a fantastic rush She's
- 26:34Speaker 1: a technician, she's everything that you want to wrestler to be,
- 26:38Speaker 1: especially a woman's wrestler to be. But I think sky
- 26:41Speaker 1: Blue wins, and I think sky Blue beats Athena and
- 26:46Speaker 1: goes to the finals. I think this is sky I
- 26:49Speaker 1: don't think she is going to win the finals, but
- 26:52Speaker 1: I think that the sky Blue story, being that sky
- 26:55Speaker 1: Blue is in the Triangle of Madness, she's going to
- 26:58Speaker 1: go on a collision course with stardom wrestlers, and I
- 27:02Speaker 1: think the finals, I think on the other side, I
- 27:05Speaker 1: think Azuki is going to beat Mercedes Monet and it's
- 27:08Speaker 1: going to be Azuki and sky Blue in the finals.
- 27:10Speaker 1: And it's probably not the biggest marquee match in the world,
- 27:14Speaker 1: but the story makes it better. And don't forget it
- 27:18Speaker 1: is forbidden door. You probably have to have either Siri
- 27:23Speaker 1: or Azuki in the finals. It's one or the other.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And I think the more logical choice right now would
- 27:32Speaker 1: be Azuki because she's healthier. So that's that, don't forget earlier,
- 27:36Speaker 1: earlier on we talked about these other women coming in
- 27:42Speaker 1: to the United States now, like Rona has already been
- 27:46Speaker 1: booked for Produce Wrestling, but I think that's on July seventeenth,
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But anyway, my point is is that
- 27:58Speaker 1: I think that a W is really going to be
- 28:01Speaker 1: building up this Tecla and by default the Triangle Madness
- 28:06Speaker 1: against Stardom Angle, and so I think you're going to
- 28:09Speaker 1: see a lot of sky Blue Julia Hart and of
- 28:13Speaker 1: course Tecla it matches against Stardom wrestlers over the next
- 28:18Speaker 1: several weeks. And that's my fantasy booking for this particular
- 28:26Speaker 1: particular match and the Owenhard anybody else have any thoughts
- 28:29Speaker 1: on the sky Blues rematch before we move on, Well,
- 28:32Speaker 1: we're gonna move on then to the next match, which
- 28:35Speaker 1: is the Continental Championship match from John Moxley with John
- 28:41Speaker 1: Moxley versus Shane Taylor. I've already done some fantasy booking
- 28:46Speaker 1: that's kind of out there. I'm about to drop a
- 28:49Speaker 1: bomb on you right now, are you ready. Shane Taylor
- 28:54Speaker 1: has absolutely no chance of beating John Moxley in this match. Oh,
- 28:58Speaker 1: come on, zero, there's nothing. John Moxley will get the
- 29:05Speaker 1: crap beat out of him for a brief out of time,
- 29:07Speaker 1: but he will probably submit.
- 29:10Speaker 5: Shane Taylor, I kind of agree, you kind of agree,
- 29:13Speaker 5: or would I? I I agree with you. Shane has
- 29:22Speaker 5: no Oh I was about to curse. No chance, no
- 29:31Speaker 5: chance at all.
- 29:34Speaker 1: He's a He's a good guy, he's a good wrestler,
- 29:37Speaker 1: but he's a rig of hoter talent. You just don't
- 29:39Speaker 1: have a rig of water talent just come in and.
- 29:41Speaker 5: Suddenly beat Yeah, and the group that doesn't do it
- 29:47Speaker 5: for me?
- 29:48Speaker 8: You know, I actually really enjoyed the little mini feud
- 29:51Speaker 8: they've done with the Death Writers. I think it's a
- 29:54Speaker 8: fun way to kind of bring up a lower card group,
- 29:58Speaker 8: and Shane's big enough that you buy him being physically intimidating,
- 30:02Speaker 8: being able to go toe to toe, even though you
- 30:04Speaker 8: know we know John's gonna win. That's his character. But
- 30:07Speaker 8: I've enjoyed this little mini feud. I like when they
- 30:09Speaker 8: kind of do little stuff like this. The group has
- 30:12Speaker 8: been fun and Shane Tayler promotions in the what's the
- 30:17Speaker 8: not the armory? What are they called the infantry? The armory? Jeez,
- 30:22Speaker 8: that's the armory is where like independent promotions run. That's
- 30:27Speaker 8: the other guest, the infantry. I've enjoyed it. It's been
- 30:30Speaker 8: a fun little way to to to elevant to bring
- 30:32Speaker 8: up some some mid card guys for some fun stuff.
- 30:35Speaker 4: I am a big fan of sane favorite promotions. That's said,
- 30:39Speaker 4: Shane Taylor is probably my fifth favorite person with in
- 30:43Speaker 4: his own group. Uh, I think this would be a
- 30:46Speaker 4: good entertaining massion. Like very said, Shane is big enough
- 30:50Speaker 4: you believe that he can, you know, go toe to
- 30:53Speaker 4: toe and maybe even beat Moxley. But yeah, in the end,
- 30:57Speaker 4: Moxley is gonna scratch, do whatever he has to do
- 31:02Speaker 4: to get the win.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Not I think you were trying to chime.
- 31:05Speaker 10: In, Oh, I was just thinking about it. I think
- 31:10Speaker 10: that it actually is going to be a good match.
- 31:14Speaker 10: I think Shane Taylor is going to get some He's
- 31:17Speaker 10: gonna get over on Moxley just a little bit. That
- 31:22Speaker 10: kind of makes us question if he can really do
- 31:26Speaker 10: it or not. And honestly, last week I thought that uh,
- 31:32Speaker 10: what's his name, Lee Moriarty was going to beat Moxley.
- 31:38Speaker 10: For some reason, I just thought that he was going
- 31:41Speaker 10: to He's not a bad wrestler at all, and I
- 31:46Speaker 10: just I just had that feeling, and I like to
- 31:50Speaker 10: see all of them fighting outside of the ring. So
- 31:54Speaker 10: I think that Shane Taylor and Moxley are going to
- 31:57Speaker 10: put on a very very good match that it makes
- 32:00Speaker 10: you wonder who exactly can beat Moxley because I, for
- 32:08Speaker 10: some reason, I think that it can come pretty close
- 32:10Speaker 10: between the two of them. I don't know why, but
- 32:13Speaker 10: I just have that feeling. So I'm I'm kind of
- 32:17Speaker 10: excited to see this one. Usually, and I know I'm
- 32:20Speaker 10: in the minority, but usually I don't like seeing John
- 32:23Speaker 10: Moxley on screen, but this one I'm kind of excited
- 32:28Speaker 10: to see. So we'll see what happens.
- 32:31Speaker 2: I mean, you go ahead, Shane Taylor on my bingo card.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Shane Taylor winning is not on my bingo card.
- 32:39Speaker 10: Suppose he does win and surprises us all the stranger
- 32:44Speaker 10: things have happened.
- 32:45Speaker 1: But where do you go from there? I mean, who
- 32:48Speaker 1: wasn't that said that. I think it was Chris and
- 32:50Speaker 1: said he's the fifth best performer or whatever in his
- 32:54Speaker 1: own group. Yeah, I don't.
- 33:00Speaker 4: Sorry, I want not where I think he is like
- 33:05Speaker 4: as a wrestler, anythinks just I'm a big fan of
- 33:08Speaker 4: Lee Moriarty, I really like the infantry.
- 33:11Speaker 3: I think Pershadora is incredibly underrated. That's why he's a
- 33:19Speaker 3: damn good wrestler. And this will be a great mess.
- 33:22Speaker 4: I just I didn't want to say like I was
- 33:24Speaker 4: trying to rank him by wrestling ability or anything like that,
- 33:28Speaker 4: just personal personal opinion.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Well, I will say this, and I was mean in
- 33:37Speaker 1: the live chat on the subreddit last week. I said it,
- 33:40Speaker 1: I quote, Shane Taylor is a charisma vacuum, and really,
- 33:46Speaker 1: you know, absolutely I have. I just do not enjoy
- 33:49Speaker 1: Shane Taylor because I literally like everybody else in this
- 33:53Speaker 1: group better than him, and and I just I don't know.
- 33:58Speaker 1: It's not to be mean here, but it's just that
- 34:01Speaker 1: I enjoy everybody else in his group better than him.
- 34:05Speaker 1: I would much rather see Tricia Door against John Moxley
- 34:09Speaker 1: than I would Shane Taylor against John Moxley.
- 34:11Speaker 8: I mean, I guess if you favor others, I get that.
- 34:15Speaker 8: I don't know if I would say I can't let
- 34:18Speaker 8: me rephrase that. I cannot say that Shane Taylor is
- 34:21Speaker 8: what it was the term you use a charisma vacuum or.
- 34:23Speaker 1: What was charisma?
- 34:27Speaker 8: I think Shane Taylor is incredibly charismatic. One of the
- 34:30Speaker 8: reasons I enjoy him as a performer is because you
- 34:32Speaker 8: can plug him in with anybody and he's He's just
- 34:34Speaker 8: an intense fella. He cuts a pretty good promo. He's big,
- 34:37Speaker 8: he can move unusually fast and well for his size,
- 34:41Speaker 8: and he makes his power moves look great, and he
- 34:44Speaker 8: makes whoever he's in there would look great. So I
- 34:46Speaker 8: enjoy the guy, but I can totally see how folks
- 34:48Speaker 8: would prefer others in the stable, and that's fine. But
- 34:52Speaker 8: I don't know if I would say he's a charisma vacuum.
- 34:53Speaker 8: I think he's I think he's quite personable, even if
- 34:56Speaker 8: he may not be some folks favorite.
- 34:58Speaker 1: And I don't not saying that that I don't like him.
- 35:01Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I just want to And when
- 35:03Speaker 1: I say charisma of vacuum, it's like he I believe
- 35:06Speaker 1: he does take away from the other members of the
- 35:08Speaker 1: group because he's just not as charismatic, and in my opinion,
- 35:12Speaker 1: I don't enjoy him as much as the other members
- 35:14Speaker 1: of the group. All Right, Well, let's move on. Before
- 35:17Speaker 1: we move on, I want to issue an official apology,
- 35:20Speaker 1: and that apology is going to go to the bastard
- 35:23Speaker 1: Pa pac Man, because most of the people in this
- 35:29Speaker 1: in this podcast are going to call Pack Pak for whatever.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Pac Man. He's pac Man, He's not pac Man. There's
- 35:36Speaker 1: no such thing as pac. It is Pack. I apologize
- 35:41Speaker 1: to Pack. Do we need to apologize to Mark Briscoe
- 35:44Speaker 1: for getting his face caved in and Bypack? That's the question.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Anybody thoughts?
- 35:50Speaker 4: Uh, this is an interesting Max because you know, Pop
- 35:56Speaker 4: and the Death Writers had their whole thing with the
- 35:59Speaker 4: conglomer but that's been long gone, and like, I don't
- 36:04Speaker 4: really know where this match is coming from, but it
- 36:08Speaker 4: should be a lot of fun. Both of these guys
- 36:10Speaker 4: are really good in the ring. They I think their styles.
- 36:15Speaker 3: Will interact well and it.
- 36:22Speaker 4: Feels like a random match, but one of those that's like, Okay,
- 36:26Speaker 4: I'm really going to enjoy it.
- 36:27Speaker 1: This seems like the first match in a long time
- 36:29Speaker 1: feud to me, would you kind of agree with that? Chris?
- 36:31Speaker 4: I could definitely see that happening. Yeah, I could definitely
- 36:36Speaker 4: lead to more. It's yeah, one of those things. This
- 36:40Speaker 4: could be a one off. It could be a long
- 36:42Speaker 4: term feud. You bring that up, it desperately adds an
- 36:48Speaker 4: extra interesting level to the match.
- 36:50Speaker 1: I do agree with you, Chris that their styles, even
- 36:54Speaker 1: though they're light and dark, I guess is the best
- 36:56Speaker 1: way of putting it. But they compliment each other. I'm
- 37:00Speaker 1: really looking forward to this match. What about everybody else?
- 37:04Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry.
- 37:05Speaker 6: Yeah, it should be a fun match, so I'm looking
- 37:09Speaker 6: forward to it, but I'm gonna go with Pack.
- 37:12Speaker 8: I disagree.
- 37:13Speaker 9: I really think this is the set up Brisco beating
- 37:16Speaker 9: Park so that he can say, look, I'm beating these people.
- 37:18Speaker 9: W's time for m JF to give me a match.
- 37:20Speaker 10: Oh that's a good idea. I didn't even think about that.
- 37:25Speaker 1: That is a really good point. And who else was
- 37:28Speaker 1: somebody else was going to talk? I believe? Was it Toucci?
- 37:32Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 37:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think Pack's really good against very
- 37:36Speaker 2: eccentric and kind of out there opponents. I match with
- 37:40Speaker 2: Leo Rush and Darby Allen also, But uh, that's just
- 37:46Speaker 2: me saying I think this will be really fun. I
- 37:48Speaker 2: give it to Mark Brisco just because of his build
- 37:52Speaker 2: up to whether it's a little filler feud or a
- 37:56Speaker 2: longer feud with m JF, but I think it's him almost.
- 38:01Speaker 2: You might even call it a tune up match, you.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Know, Tucci. Speaking of Leo Rush, He's actually going to
- 38:05Speaker 1: be wrestling Shatzi, Blackhart and g c W soon. That
- 38:09Speaker 1: match has been booked. That's a match I could feed kittens,
- 38:13Speaker 1: really cute kittens up. I'm actually looking forward to that.
- 38:17Speaker 3: Black Heart versus black Heart.
- 38:19Speaker 1: Yeah, black Art versus Black Art. I mean, Shatzi is
- 38:23Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. I don't do kabe. I say what's on
- 38:29Speaker 1: my mind and I mean it.
- 38:30Speaker 6: Well, sorry, sorry, guys. Do you want to know a
- 38:34Speaker 6: funny story about Shatzi.
- 38:35Speaker 5: I met her last year, go for it. I went to.
- 38:42Speaker 6: Maple Leaf Pro in Lavalle last year and before the
- 38:48Speaker 6: show they had a meet and greet with all of
- 38:52Speaker 6: the wrestlers, well some of them, and she was there
- 38:56Speaker 6: and I completely forgot to bring cash and was Canadian dollars,
- 39:01Speaker 6: so I completely forgot. So I went to see her
- 39:05Speaker 6: and she had her cast on because she broke her
- 39:09Speaker 6: arm tinged thanks to Mark, to Matt Cardona and I
- 39:14Speaker 6: just I just told.
- 39:16Speaker 5: Her, I mean, you are fantastic.
- 39:19Speaker 6: I love you, and keep doing what you are doing
- 39:23Speaker 6: and I said.
- 39:23Speaker 5: I'm so sorry, I don't have any money on.
- 39:26Speaker 6: To take a picture, and she said, screw it, we're
- 39:30Speaker 6: taking a picture. And I took a picture with her,
- 39:33Speaker 6: and she made my whole day.
- 39:36Speaker 5: And it was a lot of fun, a lot of fun.
- 39:40Speaker 1: What color was her hair, she was.
- 39:44Speaker 5: Yeah, she had green hair.
- 39:46Speaker 1: She may be the only woman alive that I can
- 39:49Speaker 1: honestly say it looks good and green hair.
- 39:51Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:52Speaker 6: And I mean she's gorgeous with all of her tattoos
- 39:56Speaker 6: and you know. And I asked her about the arm
- 39:59Speaker 6: and I said, I really, I saw the video online.
- 40:04Speaker 6: Did he really broke her arm? And she told me yes,
- 40:08Speaker 6: he did that s sob.
- 40:11Speaker 1: So yeah, but she got it back. She used that
- 40:14Speaker 1: cast to give him a lot of nutshots over several matches.
- 40:17Speaker 6: Yeah, I still had a picture.
- 40:21Speaker 5: I still have the picture with on my phone. And
- 40:24Speaker 5: it was amazing. And she she she was amazing to
- 40:29Speaker 5: just to give me.
- 40:30Speaker 6: That that feeling of it's okay, let's take a picture
- 40:34Speaker 6: and you go, girl, let's have some fun.
- 40:36Speaker 5: And and she she she she was.
- 40:38Speaker 6: Great in the match that she had at the show
- 40:42Speaker 6: in Leval that was on pay per view, So it
- 40:45Speaker 6: was great.
- 40:46Speaker 8: I sat behind her on a flight back from London
- 40:50Speaker 8: to Orlando. I think it was not too long after
- 40:54Speaker 8: she'd been released. She had done headed in one of
- 40:59Speaker 8: her first matches. What's the promotion ref? Maybe REF Pro
- 41:03Speaker 8: or black Leybell Pro. I'm not sure which of the
- 41:04Speaker 8: promotions in the UK she had wrestled for. But I
- 41:09Speaker 8: see a lot of dudes, you know, like a lot
- 41:11Speaker 8: of male wrestlers here in Orlando. They kind of fall
- 41:13Speaker 8: out of trees. But I don't see a lot of
- 41:14Speaker 8: the female wrestlers. And it always strikes me when I
- 41:17Speaker 8: do how tiny they are. She seems much. She has
- 41:21Speaker 8: a much she has a much bigger presence on screen,
- 41:25Speaker 8: and I was surprised. It's not tiny she was, but
- 41:28Speaker 8: she was incredibly notice I didn't talk to her on
- 41:30Speaker 8: the flight excepten we were getting up for get the
- 41:32Speaker 8: bags and stuff. But she was very, very pleasant, and uh,
- 41:36Speaker 8: she's just she's a.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Small Let's let's face it. Some women are smaller, some
- 41:43Speaker 1: men are smaller. Darby Allen's world champion. He's a small
- 41:46Speaker 1: but I think it's maybe the second or third smallest
- 41:48Speaker 1: guy in aw Right. Well, well, look tackler is what
- 41:52Speaker 1: is she books tea?
- 41:54Speaker 8: But you see on TV like you see actors, Yeah,
- 41:58Speaker 8: you see him. You don't have have that reference. But
- 42:01Speaker 8: in real life, like the rest, the male wrestlers are
- 42:03Speaker 8: huge on TV in their huge in real life, but
- 42:05Speaker 8: you don't really have the reference for the women. And
- 42:08Speaker 8: that always strikes me just how.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Like movies they can book people to be that size,
- 42:15Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you know, like Tom Cruise
- 42:19Speaker 1: is a good example. He's playing Black Joe, Mission Impossible,
- 42:22Speaker 1: Jack Reacher, all that stuff, and he's tiny. He's not
- 42:26Speaker 1: a big guy.
- 42:29Speaker 8: Male wrestlers tend to be enormous, though.
- 42:30Speaker 1: I wonder how I cannot remember what we got on
- 42:33Speaker 1: Shatzy Black Art from packing Mark Brisked. Yes, we always
- 42:47Speaker 1: we stay on target and on topic. Right here on
- 42:50Speaker 1: a w fat hubs ignition.
- 42:53Speaker 10: Yesterday before I forget to tell you all, somebody mentioned
- 42:57Speaker 10: Darby Allen yesterday. I was in Seattle. I swear I
- 43:02Speaker 10: saw him, but there are people in Seattle that dress
- 43:08Speaker 10: like him, so it could have been anybody. I thought
- 43:11Speaker 10: it was him. I was in a in an uber,
- 43:14Speaker 10: so I didn't have a chance to, like ask if
- 43:17Speaker 10: that was Darby ol actually Darby Allen or not, But
- 43:21Speaker 10: it could have been I've never seen him in person before,
- 43:25Speaker 10: so I'm really not sure.
- 43:28Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing that you said that, because I
- 43:30Speaker 1: was in the city last yesterday afternoon and I was
- 43:34Speaker 1: I saw a bus at the door open, and I
- 43:36Speaker 1: swear to you I saw John Cen Invisible Stand get out.
- 43:40Speaker 10: Oh my god, how did you know it was them?
- 43:46Speaker 1: Intuition?
- 43:47Speaker 3: Intuition or you couldn't see either of them? Yeah?
- 43:53Speaker 1: Yeah, So Christ Chris got the joke. I'm so proud.
- 43:59Speaker 3: I'm so smart. And Marti okay, So.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Does anybody else have anything to say about Pack and
- 44:10Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe now that we got to Invisible Stand John
- 44:13Speaker 1: c you know, Jauzi black Art at Leo Rush.
- 44:16Speaker 10: Uh, it's gonna be good.
- 44:19Speaker 1: I think somebody's gonna bleed in this match.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean Mark maybe Match of the night
- 44:27Speaker 2: over Swerve brodyt.
- 44:29Speaker 1: Give a spoiler alert here. In our bingo game, one
- 44:32Speaker 1: of the two one of the events is orange Casside
- 44:36Speaker 1: lands an orange punch and androdi Aledol has a babe
- 44:41Speaker 1: in the crowd flirt with him. I kind of think
- 44:43Speaker 1: somebody is gonna be able to cross that off their
- 44:45Speaker 1: bingo car tomorrow night, because Andre Alita Low is going
- 44:49Speaker 1: to face Orange Cassie. This is another match that I'm
- 44:53Speaker 1: I'm actually looking forward to.
- 44:54Speaker 8: Did you just call him Andre?
- 44:57Speaker 1: Andre?
- 44:58Speaker 10: He did?
- 44:59Speaker 3: He?
- 45:00Speaker 8: He? That is like heavier out of shape.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Brother. Hey, hey, hey, I'm gonna say something to you
- 45:07Speaker 1: right now. You're lucky that I'm. I just got run
- 45:10Speaker 1: over by a lawnmower. So you know, you know you're
- 45:14Speaker 1: fucky run over Overah, there you go, Yes, you said it.
- 45:20Speaker 8: I said, take care of that real quick.
- 45:22Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Uh. Yeah, so I am. I
- 45:27Speaker 1: have been pretty loopy for the last several days, because
- 45:30Speaker 1: that is the truth. I did get run over by
- 45:33Speaker 1: a lawnmore and dragged around in circles by a lawnmower.
- 45:36Speaker 1: So yeah, so I am not at one hundred percent
- 45:40Speaker 1: right now. Well, let me put it this way. Usually
- 45:44Speaker 1: I met eighty percent. You know my mind, I'm at
- 45:48Speaker 1: about fifty percent right now. So anyway, Andrade satisfied, and
- 46:00Speaker 1: I alo against Orange Cassidy again. I'm looking forward to
- 46:03Speaker 1: this match. This is one of those matches, however, where
- 46:07Speaker 1: I don't really care who wins the match. I care
- 46:11Speaker 1: that it's a good match, and I mean that respectfully.
- 46:15Speaker 1: And you know, nothing negative about that. I'm just really
- 46:21Speaker 1: looking forward to a, you know, a really great match.
- 46:24Speaker 1: If they go for forty minutes, I'm like, I'm all
- 46:26Speaker 1: for it if they have a great match, because these
- 46:28Speaker 1: two guys could go. I'm a big fan of Andre
- 46:31Speaker 1: DII Ledlo. He may be my favorite AW wrestler right now.
- 46:36Speaker 1: I really really enjoy watching his matches, and Orange Cassidy
- 46:40Speaker 1: gets the crap beat out of him in any match
- 46:42Speaker 1: that he's in. He could be going against Sir Pentago
- 46:44Speaker 1: and get the snot knocked out of him for a while.
- 46:47Speaker 1: So ANDROTI is gonna get his licks in and it's
- 46:49Speaker 1: it'd be great. Yeah, but you know.
- 46:52Speaker 8: How you know, yeah, how you know?
- 46:54Speaker 3: I know, I'm kind of the same boat with you.
- 46:58Speaker 4: I I'm probably gonna root for Orange Caciity, but I'm
- 47:03Speaker 4: good with whoever when This is another one where I
- 47:08Speaker 4: think their styles will compliment.
- 47:10Speaker 3: Each other really well and really make.
- 47:14Speaker 4: For an interesting story with you know, Orange Cascity being
- 47:18Speaker 4: kind of lazy.
- 47:20Speaker 3: But then you have you know, Andrade.
- 47:23Speaker 4: Then so they both kind of got they've got that
- 47:29Speaker 4: laid back attitude but in very different ways. All I'm
- 47:35Speaker 4: really hoping for is Andrade goes out, does the selfie,
- 47:39Speaker 4: and Orange just kind of pops up, slides in and
- 47:43Speaker 4: gives the weak thumbs up, like kind of photo bonds it.
- 47:48Speaker 4: I just want that to be a spot that happens.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Well, I don't have that in the bingo so what.
- 47:56Speaker 8: If it's easy or the wig on?
- 47:59Speaker 3: I'm sorry, he's standing there with his bag.
- 48:06Speaker 8: He turns around, is good?
- 48:08Speaker 1: What made you think of in a wig.
- 48:12Speaker 8: Because he's in the conglomeration man?
- 48:14Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 48:15Speaker 8: Yeah, but and it's funny. It would be funny. I
- 48:20Speaker 8: did it. I've told you. I've mentioned this before, Like
- 48:22Speaker 8: that's the gag. Sometimes people show up in wigs. Give
- 48:29Speaker 8: him a kiss, give him big kiss, mooches.
- 48:33Speaker 1: I would I would actually love to.
- 48:37Speaker 8: Yes, that's right, it's interesting.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Oh boy, it's getting late. What about everybody else? Anybody
- 48:46Speaker 1: else have anything that they want to see happen in
- 48:49Speaker 1: this match? Anybody you want to see kissed or in
- 48:52Speaker 1: a wig?
- 48:54Speaker 7: Well?
- 48:54Speaker 5: I want to kiss.
- 48:56Speaker 6: I want to see ocdu the super the Superman punch
- 48:59Speaker 6: because I have my Bingo card and he's on it.
- 49:03Speaker 1: There you go. I think he's actually on my Bingo
- 49:05Speaker 1: card too.
- 49:06Speaker 8: It's now Fantasy football for wrestling. With the Bingo card stuff.
- 49:10Speaker 1: Yeah, what I did to Bingo, I tried to put
- 49:12Speaker 1: stuff that are kind of common, you know, like orange
- 49:15Speaker 1: punch and stuff like that. But there's some kind of
- 49:19Speaker 1: wacky stuff in there too, you know. So maybe you'll
- 49:24Speaker 1: say in a wig is not on there, but I
- 49:30Speaker 1: guarantee you come all in. It will be.
- 49:34Speaker 8: If if if he shows up in a wig. I
- 49:38Speaker 8: need I need you to give me a special graphic
- 49:40Speaker 8: on the show last next week with an award.
- 49:43Speaker 1: Oh, I will definitely do that. So basically, what I
- 49:49Speaker 1: need for you to do is go to the store,
- 49:53Speaker 1: uh preferably a high end store, buy a wig, and
- 49:57Speaker 1: I will put a picture of you wearing set wig
- 50:01Speaker 1: on a graphic for next week.
- 50:04Speaker 8: My wife great. My wife has great hair, so I'll
- 50:07Speaker 8: just superimpose my face over a picture of her.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Because her hair is I have seen wife, Yes she does.
- 50:13Speaker 8: She has amazing hair.
- 50:15Speaker 1: That's the thing. When I saw a picture of your wife,
- 50:16Speaker 1: was like, that woman has amazing hair.
- 50:20Speaker 8: And the.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Berry is very tall. And buy shirts that are three
- 50:25Speaker 1: times too big.
- 50:26Speaker 8: For three times too big, oh god? Yeah. Pro tip
- 50:29Speaker 8: the hat w T shirts on Amazon the storefront. They
- 50:35Speaker 8: run large and I'm a pretty big dude, and they
- 50:37Speaker 8: run at least two sizes too big.
- 50:40Speaker 3: They have fat eye sizes.
- 50:42Speaker 8: They have enormous sizes.
- 50:44Speaker 4: I always struggle. I always have I'm always like, do
- 50:47Speaker 4: you have fat guy sizes?
- 50:49Speaker 8: I put on? I felt like I was wearing a tarp.
- 50:52Speaker 1: So you're saying I should go to Amazon and buy
- 50:54Speaker 1: my condoms.
- 51:01Speaker 8: You wear a W T shirts is robber? No, I
- 51:05Speaker 8: wear a W BREAD There's holes in there. I don't
- 51:08Speaker 8: think that's going to protect you from chafing.
- 51:12Speaker 1: And yeah, well well fortunately they also come with.
- 51:18Speaker 8: Can that word?
- 51:21Speaker 1: Choice of words? Can we? Oh God? As soon as
- 51:33Speaker 1: I said that, I was like, should I say that?
- 51:35Speaker 1: What I was what I'm thinking about saying? And then
- 51:37Speaker 1: I said yeah. And then I want Yohn versus Orige Cassidy.
- 51:44Speaker 8: When and and and everybody gets horny? I mean that's
- 51:49Speaker 8: just what It's just he gets everybody.
- 51:53Speaker 1: And is that like that O T if you show
- 52:00Speaker 1: what was it Felicity?
- 52:01Speaker 8: Is that Felicity's favorite TV shows Felicity and Androsity.
- 52:10Speaker 5: Oh.
- 52:10Speaker 10: I know something I came up with the other day
- 52:14Speaker 10: when I was just randomly daydreaming. You know how Don
- 52:20Speaker 10: Callous's teeth keep trying to get away from him. I think, well,
- 52:27Speaker 10: I think that is the actual reason that he hates
- 52:30Speaker 10: Mark Briscoe, because Mark Briscoe is not afraid to be
- 52:35Speaker 10: who he really is and embrace it, and I think
- 52:38Speaker 10: Callous hates that about him. And I wish they would
- 52:42Speaker 10: kind of make that into like a little joke, you know,
- 52:47Speaker 10: kind of because you don't want to offend anyone or
- 52:50Speaker 10: hurt anyone's feelings, but it could be kind of a
- 52:53Speaker 10: little side joke about the real reason that Callous doesn't
- 52:58Speaker 10: like Mark Briscoe.
- 53:00Speaker 1: Think that Callous is going to be on commentary tomorrow night,
- 53:02Speaker 1: which by the way, is also on the Bingo list.
- 53:04Speaker 1: So this, this match alone could really fill up a
- 53:09Speaker 1: Bingo card.
- 53:10Speaker 4: Uh.
- 53:11Speaker 1: But I think Callous is going to try to get uh.
- 53:15Speaker 1: I think and Andre Andrade, I was saying his name right.
- 53:22Speaker 1: I caught him. I caught myself saying his name right.
- 53:25Speaker 1: You guys are killing me. I think Androdi is going
- 53:28Speaker 1: to gain a measure of respect for Orange tomorrow night,
- 53:31Speaker 1: and he's gonna have fun with the match, and that's
- 53:34Speaker 1: going to be part of the story, is that Androde
- 53:36Speaker 1: is having fun fighting Orange Cassidy and when Don Callas
- 53:41Speaker 1: comes out hands on you know, androde a screwdriver or
- 53:48Speaker 1: his teeth or whatever as a weapon. Uh, ANDRETTI is
- 53:52Speaker 1: gonna refuse because that Andre is another one that that
- 53:56Speaker 1: really isn't all about them. Sorry, I think door Dash
- 54:02Speaker 1: just knocked on my door. Yeah, buddy, Yeah, somebody talk.
- 54:10Speaker 8: Let's talk about who has the best hair in a W?
- 54:13Speaker 8: Is it Andre Da or it's Clark Connor's.
- 54:15Speaker 9: Right, Yes, Connors looked like a shampoo commercial. Yeah, person, Yeah, and.
- 54:28Speaker 5: He has the most beautiful hair I've ever.
- 54:30Speaker 8: Seen Kenny's hairs falling out. Clark Connors is full and
- 54:35Speaker 8: luscious and well conditioned.
- 54:37Speaker 10: Remember they call it Clark Connors the t MoU hangman.
- 54:41Speaker 8: That was so good, such a line.
- 54:45Speaker 10: I have to say, Hook Hook has beautiful hair better.
- 54:50Speaker 8: Than Clark Connors, I think, so.
- 54:59Speaker 1: I said he's he has the best hair. Oh god, I.
- 55:05Speaker 3: Could not agree more. How about Jungle.
- 55:09Speaker 8: Carry And this is across all of a W including
- 55:14Speaker 8: the women.
- 55:15Speaker 1: So yeah, oh well then she does. She does have
- 55:22Speaker 1: great hair.
- 55:23Speaker 10: I'd have to say Willow.
- 55:25Speaker 8: Willow's got a good luscious thing here too.
- 55:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Harley Cameron has nice hair. On the men's side,
- 55:33Speaker 1: it's got.
- 55:33Speaker 8: To be extensions though, so many extensions. Who is the
- 55:39Speaker 8: man for the extensions?
- 55:40Speaker 5: Red Mercedes?
- 55:44Speaker 8: Right, that's right?
- 55:48Speaker 1: And they lived out.
- 55:51Speaker 10: You said Mercedes, Valerie.
- 55:54Speaker 6: Yes, I I said, I'm a fan of Mercedes wigs.
- 55:57Speaker 5: I I want one, yeah, so much.
- 56:04Speaker 8: I want to have to be expensive.
- 56:08Speaker 5: Yeah, I know last week she was stunning.
- 56:13Speaker 8: Yeah, anybody see the sign that said I like Mercedes
- 56:16Speaker 8: because she knows Grogu the guy on the entrance ramp.
- 56:24Speaker 1: I will say, I will say Valerie that. In the
- 56:27Speaker 1: in the light chat on the Reddit, I was like,
- 56:30Speaker 1: Mercedes Gear. I actually said this, which is weird coming
- 56:34Speaker 1: from a guy. I was like, Mercedes is Gear is gorgeous?
- 56:38Speaker 8: Yeah, dark, her whole vibe, her whole vibe. The dark
- 56:42Speaker 8: Mercedes vibe was awesome. You're right.
- 56:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 56:44Speaker 6: And she changed and and I didn't realize it until
- 56:48Speaker 6: I saw a video.
- 56:50Speaker 5: The day after.
- 56:53Speaker 6: She changed her music. It's a little bit darker, but
- 56:57Speaker 6: it's still.
- 56:58Speaker 5: Her singing her thing song rapping.
- 57:02Speaker 6: But I love it.
- 57:03Speaker 5: I love it.
- 57:04Speaker 1: I think they took out a lot of the introduction before,
- 57:08Speaker 1: you know, because it was quite a lead up before
- 57:10Speaker 1: it got to the CEO chant. So yeah, it gets
- 57:14Speaker 1: right to business. You know, that's the way it goes.
- 57:17Speaker 8: Right after the show, the guy who did the mix
- 57:20Speaker 8: posted on YouTube how he put it together track by
- 57:24Speaker 8: track and mix it. I think he used pro tools.
- 57:26Speaker 8: I could be wrong. It's really worth checking out. I
- 57:29Speaker 8: posted the video, but if you search for it on
- 57:31Speaker 8: YouTube you can find it as well. It's really cool.
- 57:33Speaker 8: He splices up her initial theme and pitches it down
- 57:37Speaker 8: and does a lot of really really cool stuff. It's
- 57:39Speaker 8: worth checking out.
- 57:40Speaker 1: You don't know if it was Mikey Ruckus, do you?
- 57:42Speaker 1: Was it Bikey?
- 57:44Speaker 8: No, it was not Mikey Ruckas. It was one of
- 57:46Speaker 8: the artist the other artists that they work with. Mikey
- 57:49Speaker 8: does most of the music, but it wasn't Mikey.
- 57:52Speaker 1: All right, Well guess what, guys, that's the end of

- 59:01Speaker 1: during Dynamite and Collision and UH, and see what kind
- 59:07Speaker 1: of matches her up on there, because I actually read
- 59:10Speaker 1: that New Japan Pro Wrestling really is not participating as
- 59:15Speaker 1: much in some of these things. I think that Forbidden
- 59:17Speaker 1: Door is going to be pretty women heavy, that's my prediction.
- 59:24Speaker 1: I think we're going to see a lot of stardom
- 59:25Speaker 1: and a lot of CMLL women in uh Forbidden Door.
- 59:31Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna see quite a bit of
- 59:33Speaker 1: CMLL men in Forbidden Door.
- 59:35Speaker 8: And I think I need more Lucases.
- 59:43Speaker 2: Good.
- 59:44Speaker 4: I was going to say one thing to note with
- 59:46Speaker 4: New Japan. They just wrapped up Best of the Super
- 59:49Speaker 4: Fun Years this Sunday this past Sunday and this Sunday
- 59:54Speaker 4: coming up, they have Dominion, which okay, test to and
- 59:59Speaker 4: then Andre da Alitolo or both fallen. So I think
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: we might see a little more involvement from them after Dominion.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: Okay, well that's fair enough.
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: Their titles, uh Test is defending the TV title against Sonata,
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: and Andrade is defending the IWTP Global title against Chota
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: Umino and Drill and Maloney.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: Cool Tucci, I think you had something you wanted to say.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious how the Bougie Road sale of New
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Japan will affect the partnership. I know they've said it won't,
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: but you know, who knows.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. I mean there's a lot of things
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: that Bouchie Road did not sell stardom as of yet,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: so Starnham is still its own own anty under Bushie Road.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: That's gonna be interesting and I think that that could
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: be something that we get clarification on very soon. But anyway,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: that's the show for this week. We will see you again.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: As I said earlier Tuesday night at eight forty five, guys,
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: be sure to go in and get your Bingo card.
