- 1:00talk about the Continental Classic. The brackets are starting to fill out. We've
- 1:07got some people with six points already and some people with no points after two
- 1:14matches. So the question is who do we see is the four semi finalists,
- 1:19two from each league, the Blue League and the Gold League. In
- 1:22the Continental Classic. Maybe ultimately maybe you want to say who wins the Continental
- 1:29Classic title? The professional? What are your thoughts on this? Yes,
- 1:34it is me the professional, first time here on ignition. Thank you everyone.
- 1:40First off, my thoughts in the Condomental Classic. This is a fantastic
- 1:44tournament. I've never really watched the G One from start to finish when you
- 1:49saw it, maybe in twenty nineteen when John Boxes his first year in the
- 1:53g One, but I really didn't finish it. But just to see this
- 1:57kind of tournament that's similar to the G One here North America, It's been
- 2:02fantastic. It's been great, I would say, like in my opinion right
- 2:07now, just looking at the standings for each league, you got John Moxley,
- 2:12Swerve Strickland both were six points in the Go League, and then you
- 2:15got Brody King the only person only wrestler in the Blue League with a perfect
- 2:21record too and oh six points. I think those three individuals are gonna be
- 2:25in the semi finals. And then you add Brian Danielson into the mix.
- 2:29That is my pick for the semifinals. Swerve Strickland, John Moxley out of
- 2:34the Goal League, they've got Brody King and Brian Danielson coming out of the
- 2:37Bow League, well the professional So we we talked about who has six points
- 2:43and who you think is. Do you think any of these wrestlers are going
- 2:46to get zero points throughout the whole tournament. Yeah, that's a good question.
- 2:52You've got four wrestlers right now with open two records. You got Jay
- 2:57Leath and Martin Briscow out of the Goal League, and he got Daniel Garcia
- 3:00and Eddie Kingston out of the Blue League, all of zero points, all
- 3:05two matches each under their belts. I mean, I'm leaning towards Eddie Kingston
- 3:14having no points. I think that, Yeah, I think that this is
- 3:19going to start a story where he's just spiraling downward, where he just loses
- 3:25a lot of hope, a lot of faith in himself as a wrestler,
- 3:30and we start to see that redemption arc. I don't know where he's going
- 3:34to culmminate. Maybe it's double or nothing, maybe it's forbidden door, maybe
- 3:38it's all in. Who knows, but I think we're there. They're setting
- 3:43up for Eddie Kingston's to really have this big redemption arc and maybe that's something
- 3:49that he really does well in We saw that with the chase for the ro
- 3:53Championship and trying to get back at Claudio for all those years of them hating
- 3:58each other. That's what I'm starting to foresee. Maybe Daniel Garcia also or
- 4:04could perhaps had no wins, but I think it's coming out of the blue
- 4:09league. I don't foresee Mark Brisco not winning the match. I don't foresee
- 4:14j Letho not win the match. But again, my my pick is on
- 4:17Eddie Kingston to go without winning a single match, and maybe a close second
- 4:24would be Dane Garcia lucky. What about you? What do you think?
- 4:27Who are your semi finalists for the for the Continental Classic? Uh? Brody
- 4:33king Swarft, Strickland and Moxley and Brian Danielson and uh? And who you
- 4:41got is the winner? I want Swerve to win? You want? And
- 4:46do you think anybody's gonna come up with zero points? Sadly, I think
- 4:49one of my favorites, Eddie Kingston, is gonna be zero, but I
- 4:54hope not. But I think what they're gonna do is that he tried to
- 4:59be the big bad guy or the big guy with like the two titles.
- 5:03He put him up there and then he lost it even though he didn't need
- 5:08to, and now he's going to lose him and then probably go down like
- 5:15either he probably heeled route and do something there. I don't know, but
- 5:21sadly I think he's going to be a zero points You know what shades when
- 5:28when Eddie Kingson lost his first match, I was thinking, Okay, they're
- 5:30setting him up for this massive comeback. Do you think that the down two
- 5:35matches now at zero points, is that insurmountable or do you think they may
- 5:40still have him come back and sneak his way into semi finals. I think
- 5:46it would be really contrived if if Eddie came back now. I think I
- 5:53think Eddie needs some adversity. We've seen Eddie overcome the odds with you know,
- 5:58Claudio to win the title, but he's he's no. I don't see
- 6:04Eddie coming back from O two. My semi finalists out of the Blue League
- 6:10are gonna be Danielson and Andrade Ledelo, because I think they're priming Andrade for
- 6:15a huge push, and I think he's gonna have a monster confrontation with Miro
- 6:20at some point obviously, and then out of the Gold League. I have
- 6:26swerved like everyone else, and I've vastly I thought Moxley at first, but
- 6:30I'm like, you know, I think it would be better for the tournament
- 6:36if it were not Moxley. It would be better for the tournament if it
- 6:40were Jay White. And I know Jay White has lost to Swerve, but
- 6:44that's the only match he needs to lose. Like Jay White could go four
- 6:47and one and get twelve points and still be in the Semis. And so
- 6:54I think it's gonna be Swerve and Jay White, and it's gonna be My
- 6:59Danielson in Andrada, and I think Danielson's gonna win. And I think Eddie
- 7:05is going to beat Claudio this week though, so he's gonna it's Eddie's not
- 7:10gonna go over because I don't think. I don't know, maybe Eddie will
- 7:15lose to Claudio, but Eddie's gonna pick up a win somewhere, probably over
- 7:18Daniel Garcia, who is gonna go over the tournament. I think the story
- 7:24with Daniel Garcia this year has been that he's had all of these big matches
- 7:30and these big opportunities and he's just come up short in all of them.
- 7:34And now he's gonna wash out of this tournament, and he's gonna have this
- 7:39existential like who am I am? I even a wrestler kind of thing,
- 7:42and he's gonna have a big redemption arc. And I think Daniel Garcia is
- 7:46gonna be a major star by the end of twenty twenty four. But he's
- 7:50got to go down to the bottom for that to happen. And so I
- 7:54think he's gonna wash out with zero wins in this tournament. You think that
- 7:57that Daniel garcias I agree with you, is Daniel gar his redemption are going
- 8:01to be with the Don Kallis family. No, I think he's gonna do
- 8:07his own thing. I think that, Okay, I think part of it
- 8:09has been like he kind of got lost a little bit in the Jericho appreciation
- 8:15society and now he's kind of meandering around with two point zero and so,
- 8:20like, you know, I think for Garcia's character, it would be better
- 8:28if he actually did not join a group and if he actually were his own,
- 8:31you know, wrestler, and then maybe somebody like you know, like
- 8:39he he might have kind of a reconciliation with Jericho and maybe some one off
- 8:45tag match or something, But like I don't see, Yeah, I don't
- 8:48see him joining the Kallous family because I think his focus is gonna be becoming
- 8:54a wrestler, like the best wrestler he can be, and not being Don
- 8:58Callas's pond for revenge against Kenny Omega. So interesting point. What about you,
- 9:07Benji, who are your semi finalists and who do you think is if
- 9:11anyone is gonna end up with no wins in this tournament or he's gonna win
- 9:15the whole thing, Benji, More than anything, I think it's gonna I
- 9:18honestly believe that it's gonna be served in Jay White and the semmer finals all
- 9:24the Blue team while the Golds are right and then O the blue side is
- 9:28definitely gonna be Daniels, and I think it's gonna be brought to king in
- 9:33that semi. On that side, I think, I hate to say,
- 9:39I think Mark Briskow is gonna go without a win and on that side,
- 9:45and I think I I degree in saying that Daniel Garcia might go without a
- 9:50win. On the other side, Kingston I think might just end up winning
- 9:56one maybe, but regardless, he's gonna end up losing both titles. I
- 10:00think it's like people said, he's gonna end up going down where he's just
- 10:03lost. He needs to reinvent himself. Kingston's always been better as the underdog.
- 10:11He's always put better matters as people essentially disrespect them, don't have faith
- 10:16in them, and just basically see him as someone that can't basically win the
- 10:22big match. And that's gonna be coming back around with this with him losing
- 10:28the tournament, losing both titles and essentially putting him back in a place where
- 10:33when it came down to push and show, he just couldn't hack it.
- 10:37And then on the other side, I think j Whye makes a comeback.
- 10:41I honestly think that Jay wise where semi final will be the best thing for
- 10:46the tournament. Well, I would love to see Maxley there, but I
- 10:50think Moxley can't be the guy that everybody just depends on whenever aw is in
- 10:56trouble. That Maxley is the guy that's gonna bring us out of trouble.
- 11:00And I think that's the big thing that people see is that, Okay,
- 11:03well, who can you depend on is Moxley. So that's why I feel
- 11:07like Moxley's gonna be the one essentially putting swoarover he's gonna end up putting Jay
- 11:13White over and so then semi finals on the tournament. I would love to
- 11:20swear win it all, but I think he has a better chance of becoming
- 11:26a even a bigger start by Jays going after the AE Championship. So I
- 11:31think that overall the winners going to be Daniel Bryanson with the fact that he's
- 11:35retiring, no need to actually focus much on the Bringer Bonner Championship as opposed
- 11:43to the Japan Championship since they're not gonna be really on TV as much.
- 11:50You know, the thing that interests me the most about this is that we
- 11:52keep talking about Brodie King, and that brings us into the next topic of
- 11:56conversation because Brodie King is with the House of Black, and it seems like
- 12:01the House of Black is on a collision course part of the pun with FTR.
- 12:05Now here's the thing. People on social media, whether it's on Twitter
- 12:09or on our subredd at aw fan hub Uh, they're talking about, well,
- 12:13there's three in the House of Black and there's only two in FTR.
- 12:18So that means there's really a couple of questions here. Who would FTR get
- 12:24to be the third or do you think that maybe it'll just be FTR,
- 12:31you know, Cash and Dax against Buddy and uh, Buddy and Malachi.
- 12:39I mean, maybe Brody's going to be too busy, uh, defending his
- 12:43own championship to worry about the House of Black trios thing. So are we
- 12:48are we going to be doing a trios? Are we going to be doing
- 12:52a tag team? Here? The professional? I mean, what are your
- 12:56who? If we are going to do a trios? Who do you think
- 12:58may fit the fit in with fr The only person I can think of right
- 13:05now, and it's it's pretty I don't want to say it's sad, but
- 13:09just like he came back, but they didn't really lead into anything. And
- 13:15that's Sean Spears, you know. And I'm only saying as because I think
- 13:18someone on redd end I can't remember which page, but they're like, oh,
- 13:22they're getting the Pinnacle back together or something like that. But ask the
- 13:26person can think, though we know the obvious joye is he was still here,
- 13:31it would have been filled, but I don't. I just don't know.
- 13:35I don't see anyone else fill in that role right now, and I
- 13:37kind of I'm glad that you asked the question, Like would there even be
- 13:41a third man because the way Brody Chenance go on right now, he's really
- 13:46showing a lot of work, that good work you can do as a singles
- 13:52competitor. Like I don't know if we kind of want to put him back
- 13:56into not saying we should take them out of the House of Black, but
- 14:00maybe we just let that be its own thing. Maybe it's just Malachi Black
- 14:05and Buddy Matthews against FTR. Maybe there is no third man because I don't
- 14:09know how you. I don't know how you bring Brody King into the fold
- 14:15after such a strong showing, and I'm sure he's going to continue to get
- 14:18stronger. As I mentioned, he's more likely going to be a semifinalist.
- 14:22I don't know how you bring him into the fold with such a strong showing
- 14:26in the Continental Classic where he could become a babyface and put him back as
- 14:33a heel. So I don't I don't know if it even makes sense to
- 14:35p a trios right. No, No, I agree with you. I
- 14:41mean, who's to say if perdiy King doesn't win the Continental Classic that he
- 14:45doesn't go on to take the DNT Championship for example, or the FTW championship.
- 14:52So I mean there's there's different avenues even if Brody King isn't ultimately ultimately
- 14:56successful in the Continental class. Let's go to Aki Aki. What do you
- 15:01think do you think this is going to be a trios thing with FDR and
- 15:05a new partner or do you think it's going to be a tag team thing?
- 15:07And if it is going to be a trios thing, who do you
- 15:09see as Ftr's partner. I don't know who the partner would be if it's
- 15:15trios, but if it's if it's uh, tag teams, then that would
- 15:24be pretty cool. I guess yeah, Because I know you're a big,
- 15:28big fan of a House of Black. Do you think that this I mean,
- 15:31let's just say that the House of Black and FTR is a tag team
- 15:35thing and House of Black wins. Do you think this elevates them to a
- 15:39tag team championship contender, you know, for a title match? I sure
- 15:46hope. So stay same question to you, I mean, what are you
- 15:52thinking about this? Because this is kind of good. There's there's so many
- 15:56options here. It seems like, yeah, I think the only thing that
- 16:02would make me lean toward this being a trio is that Malachi specifically made the
- 16:07point to ask FTR who was going to come out to help them, and
- 16:11like he kept making the point that FTR had no friends, like, like,
- 16:17nobody's coming out for you. So I feel like they're obviously setting up
- 16:21for someone. I don't know who it would be, though, I Spears
- 16:25is a good name. I don't know if it's the right name though,
- 16:29because I don't think. I don't know. I mean, it would certainly
- 16:33fit. I just think I would be a little underwhelmed by that, not
- 16:36because it's Seawan Spears, just because I don't we haven't seen Shawn Spears a
- 16:41lot, and so it's really hard for me to get super invested in this
- 16:44story. That's kind of getting pretty personal pretty quick between the House of Black
- 16:49and FTR. And by the way, while we're on this topic, how
- 16:53about House of Black getting more babyface love than FTR. Oh wow, Yeah,
- 17:03I think I think we're gonna see FTRS start to head back more of
- 17:07a heel direction, and I think it's the right callants. Nobody wants to
- 17:14boo the House of Black. I'm sorry, nobody wants to boo them so
- 17:18you can make them as nasty and as blimey and as healthy as you want.
- 17:22They're cool as hell and people don't want to boo them. It's that
- 17:26simple. Yeah, it really is that simple. That's a really good point
- 17:30one thing that I wanted to ask you, Shades, and then we'll go
- 17:33on to to Benchi. Who is team with FTR in the past? I
- 17:37know Mark Briscoe has, that's an option maybe, but who else is teamed?
- 17:41Can anybody think of anybody else that's team with FDR, not including the
- 17:48Pinnacle right, Yeah, I mean their Spears has definitely teamed with them.
- 17:52I think too. I think you know did at one point or something like
- 17:59that, there was one true words that did I think I don't know that.
- 18:00I could just be that could be stressing affecting Oh Phil well obviously see
- 18:06him punk did. Yeah, but that's not going to be an option thing.
- 18:10That's not that's not happening. Sorry, Well, you know, Betji,
- 18:18you know, thank you for waiting and bring us home. Pal.
- 18:22Look, what are your what is your take on all of this? So
- 18:26we've talked about here with the House of Black and FDR, I mean the
- 18:30House of Black kid like people have said, you know, has been pushing
- 18:33for FTR. You know who's here to help you. They basically told them,
- 18:38you guys are alone. No one in the locker room loves you.
- 18:41Everybody hates you. You have no friends. You know who's going to come
- 18:45and save you. And I know that the picture has been out there with
- 18:48spears. But the more and more I think about it, and the more
- 18:51that I thought about it, even right now doing everybody talking to me with
- 18:56brody King Bean and High that he is coming back House of Black for this
- 19:02match with FTR. The only person that I can honestly seek coming in to
- 19:07help them with that behemit of brody King is going to have to be Warlow
- 19:11because there's been a couple of situations where they helped each other out, not
- 19:15necessarily by tagging together, but different times where they've basically given each other the
- 19:22no outside of the Pinnacle, the only way that I can see them is
- 19:26them essentially turning to Warlow asking for itself, because I mean, rody King
- 19:32is an animal by himself, and you know, not many people can match
- 19:36up size with them. I think Warlow is definitely the guy that can beat
- 19:41him size size and actually give him a match. Outside of those squatch matches
- 19:45that he's had so at least to me, if someone were to pay up
- 19:48with them someone on the roster, my vote would be for Warlow. Do
- 19:53you think it's possible, Beggie that Warlow can can't power bomb Brody King.
- 20:00He could probably do it, but I mean decisively. I think he probably
- 20:06could with Lettle Hope from Are essentially to do that bar bomb with all three
- 20:10of them helping him put them up, which would definitely throw an amazing pop
- 20:14at that moment. But I don't think it'll happen in a match, at
- 20:18least not in this Trials match if it sets up that way, because people
- 20:22like this said, you know, people don't want to boo that was a
- 20:26black. At this point, I can see how's a black winning the match
- 20:30fgr essentially attacking house. The Black will Warlow and then essentially at the end
- 20:34after the match maybe power Bombina for that he'll turn as in. Basically,
- 20:41they they just don't care anymore. They're dune paying by the rules. Yeah,
- 20:48you know, regardless of what anybody is, what anybody says about a
- 20:53w one thing that seems readily apparent is that they are doing a lot of
- 20:57work in the tag team division, and there's a lot of tag teams in
- 21:00the men's tag team coming out. I mean, and if you look at
- 21:04it with Julia Hard having a belt, Brody King realistically about to have what
- 21:11essentially to three belts, you know, I mean, he's doing well.
- 21:17A tag team title match for the House of Black may be on the horizon.
- 21:22But one thing we don't have, and this is something that we've talked
- 21:26about before on this podcast, but not with these podcast members, so to
- 21:30speak, is one of the arguments is that we've seen all the time is
- 21:37that AW has too many belts, and that's the main reason given that people
- 21:41don't want to see a women's tag team division, I personally would like to
- 21:47see a women's tag title because it would a give the women something more to
- 21:51do in a meaningful way, and b because a lot of the matches that
- 21:56the women have already are either multi women or tag team matches, So why
- 22:03not make those matches that we're putting on anyway meaningful? So the question I
- 22:08want to ask the panel, and we'll start with the professional, is if
- 22:11we're going to do a women's tag title, do you really think that that's
- 22:15a good idea? Right now or and if it is a good idea,
- 22:22I kind of want to let's limit it to about three tag teams. Name
- 22:26some tag teams in the women's division that you would like to see, not
- 22:32necessarily be world champion, world tag team champions, but that would be interesting
- 22:37to watch. What do you think? Yes, I GOREE. I think
- 22:42this is such a loaded question, and I'll give you a reason because,
- 22:47for like, since adm's existence, and you've heard that Tony Kahin doesn't care
- 22:52about women's wrestling. It's not enough women on the show. There's only one
- 22:59match on Guy Might and that I can get into that topic a lot longer,
- 23:03but just to stay on topic with this question, I think having a
- 23:11tag team or tag team championships for women would test if AW fans will actually
- 23:18support more women's wrestling. And I only mention that is because what I saw
- 23:23when I was in Toronto at the Forbidden Door where once the women's match came
- 23:30on, I had not seen so many people go to the washroom at one
- 23:34time throughout that show until that woman's match started, and I thought that was
- 23:41disrespectful, especially given that people were mentioning like, oh, Tony doesn't care
- 23:47about the women, but no one's You all are supporting them the same people
- 23:51that are complaining, you're buying a lot of merchandise. You're saying that,
- 23:53oh, she needs to give me a reason to care, No Show,
- 23:59Show, Tony Show, Warner Brothers, Discovery that you all care about women's
- 24:04wrestling enough where there's more than one match on Dynamite, there's more than just
- 24:07one promo, you know, like the same person that owns AW also owns
- 24:12ROH and you have women's wrestling there, but you all aren't flocking to watch
- 24:18ROH to see a great storyline with Athena. You all aren't watching that.
- 24:22So if you want an institute tag team championships, I don't know if fans
- 24:26will pay attention enough for it to be relevant. I think it's a great
- 24:32idea, but I don't think right now a lot of fans would pay attention
- 24:38enough to where a tag team championship is warranted and it can be relevant.
- 24:45Because we can complain about there being so many belts in aw but I don't
- 24:51think a lot of people can name a belt that's irrelevant. International title has
- 24:56a prestige, The TNC Championship has retis, CBS Championship has fristige. Obviously,
- 25:03the World Championship has prestige, and the tag team titles have prestige.
- 25:07Yeah, we can talk about ROH, but not with AW. So I'm
- 25:11very opinionated on this the professional I will say this, and I've said it
- 25:15before. I don't feel like the FTW Championship has any prestige whatsoever. I
- 25:21don't feel like the Trio's Championship has any prestige whatsoever. And I think a
- 25:25women's tag title would be even better than the Trios Championship. And frankly speaking,
- 25:30for the longest time, I was calling the International Championship the in Consequential
- 25:36Championship because it was a one note, one trick pony that was boring to
- 25:38me. You know, now some people will disagree with me, and I
- 25:41respect that, but we'll have to see on that. Because if Orage Cassidy
- 25:45keeps this title and does the same thing you did before, then I'm on
- 25:51the I'm just gonna be it's gonna be the Inconsequential Championship. But I want
- 25:55to move on to Acky because Aki, you've been with since the very beginning,
- 26:00so you know, I mean, you're you know your stuff. When
- 26:04it comes to a w and I want to get your perspective on one question,
- 26:11and of course I answer to the other questions too. Do you think
- 26:12we should have a tag title? Ed? Do we? Also? You
- 26:15know who do you think would be good tag teams? But one other question
- 26:21I want to ask you is oversay the last two or three months, do
- 26:25you think AW has been getting better with what they're doing with the AW Women's
- 26:30division or worse better? How so what makes you say that they're better?
- 26:38Because anytime Tony Storm comes out, or Julie Hart comes out, or whenever,
- 26:45like when uh uh newell O Nightingale comes out, there's always a reaction.
- 26:52And right now it's also Skyblue because she's involved with Tony Storm. Great,
- 27:00Yeah, we're gonna be talking about that Tony storman sky Blue batch a
- 27:03little bit later. And uh, I think for the for the titles,
- 27:14I think they should get rid of the Trios title and then give it to
- 27:22or not give it but like a chain or like put a women's tag division,
- 27:29because they you already have a pretty good men's division, so having something
- 27:38that the ladies can fight for, like a title or a tag title,
- 27:45can help them like get more experience or something. Yeah, I mean,
- 27:56Stace, what do you think about that? Because I know, like sometimes
- 27:57when I'm thinking about who has the aw titles, I sometimes even forget about
- 28:03the trios titles completely because it seems like Tony conn is forgetting about him sometimes.
- 28:08Yeah, I mean, I think the Trio's belts are just kind of
- 28:11like the Acclaimed Vanity Championship right now, the ABC as it were. But
- 28:19as far as these women tag titles go, here's the conundrum. It's not
- 28:27that we don't have enough quality women to support a tag division. We do.
- 28:32It's not that adding a title belt would create too many belts. It
- 28:37wouldn't. It's that in order to support a tag division, the women are
- 28:42going to have to get more time on television. Right So now, kind
- 28:52of like what the professional is saying, if Tony wants to test the viability
- 29:00of more women's wrestling, he's gonna have to give him some of that time.
- 29:03He's gonna have to, even if it's just on Rampage. Like I've
- 29:07been for I have for a year. I have been one behind the idea
- 29:12of completely rebranding Rampage as I would prefer I would not prefer I would be
- 29:21okay with it being just a women's show. Probably wouldn't. I don't think
- 29:26Tony would do that. But if it had, if you had more women's
- 29:30segments on rampages then you had men's segments, I think that would be fantastic.
- 29:34And so that way we can at least create a place for these women
- 29:38to be like even if even if it's not great to start with, right,
- 29:45the women need these opportunities to get out there and get reps and get
- 29:48practice cutting promos and get practice being in a weekly episodic format so they can
- 29:56learn how to be professional wrestlers on television and so, but they can't do
- 30:03that if they're only given one match a week and one backstage segment a week.
- 30:07It's just not And they've gotten a little bit more recently, but so
- 30:11I think the tag titles can work. The women just need the time to
- 30:17be able to do that. And as far as teams, I think you've
- 30:21got Willow and Statlander right now as a team. I think you've got Mercedes
- 30:23Martinez and Diamante as a team. I think you could have when she comes
- 30:30back, even though she just had her baby, you'd have TJ as a
- 30:34team. You know Tay Kwon, Tay Mellow, and an A Jay.
- 30:41It's unfortunate that the Bunnies no longer with aw because the Bunny and Penelope Ford
- 30:45would have been a great team. So Penelope could find someone to link up
- 30:48with though, yeah, you know plenty of women. There's plenty of potential
- 30:52teams out there. Shace. Let me ask you a question, then we'll
- 30:56go on to Beggie. I'm gonna Benjie the same question to you. We
- 30:59just saw on a collision what I thought was a really good her best promo,
- 31:07and that was sky Blue. Do you agree with that? I do
- 31:11agree with that. It was definitely pre recorded, so which is great.
- 31:18You know that's how they start, You start with your pre record. Tony
- 31:21Storm doesn't cut live promo, she cuts pre tapes. Okay, not everyone
- 31:25can cut a live promo very well. But if they let them get more
- 31:30experienced to doing those pre tapes, then yeah, maybe you could stick a
- 31:33live mic in sky Blue's hand in six months and see what happens. But
- 31:37only if you give him a place for that to happen. So what do
- 31:41you think, Benji? Do you think your sky Blue cut a good promo?
- 31:45I think your promo was okay. I mean, obviously she needs a
- 31:48lot of work on the MIC. I mean a lot of the women don't
- 31:51get Mike time, so it's hard for them to develop their skill. But
- 31:55giving them more time, you know, and pre recording the promos is definitely
- 32:00going to help them. I think Skype Blue can definitely get better. But
- 32:06to answer the rest of the questions, I honestly think that they could use
- 32:09the women's texting division. There's a lot of women on the roster that can
- 32:14team up. But like everybody else said, they definitely need more time on
- 32:19the shows. Definitely be pushing a women's match on every show. Really,
- 32:24there's signs where you can go shut single women's matches, but I think having
- 32:30a single match on every show is a good start, you know. Definitely
- 32:35having shows with multiple women matches is going to be a great push towards that
- 32:38as well. But that's the main thing, like everybody says, I mean,
- 32:43I believe that they have the women roster to make a tackting division for
- 32:46the women's The belt are definitely going to be relevant because you have a lot
- 32:51of women that can be in title pictures right now, so having them in
- 32:54tacting title pictures makes more sense just because of the fact that the roster is
- 33:00so big, so you have the ability to branch out to that. For
- 33:05the women's division and as far as tag teams, I think one of the
- 33:09ones that people want to see that we were seeing prior to her getting into
- 33:15with the Baker Jamie Hater team, you know, and you know, I
- 33:22think that would make a really good team. I actually think if she were
- 33:27to if they were actually both for to come back, Serena Deep and then
- 33:30the Rosa actually teaming as a veteran team to show please, Oh that's so
- 33:37good. I didn't even think of that. Having them team up to show
- 33:42the younger talent, you know, this is what you can do, this
- 33:45which you can accomplish, you know, would be a I think a great
- 33:47team, a veteran team that people can say, well, you know,
- 33:51because both Serena Deep and the Rosa can definitely put on great matches, and
- 33:57teaming them up I think would be a great point of view into showing the
- 34:00women's division and attacking division that's going to be strong. Jamie Hayter and Britt
- 34:07Baker have always had chemistry in the ring, so I think that's also going
- 34:12to be something that can shine for the women's division as a tag team.
- 34:17Mercedes and Diamante and again another two people that have been teaming up lately and
- 34:23can show that they can team up and have a good team. If I
- 34:28were to put up some of the younger women together with everything that's been going
- 34:32on, I would say Julia Hart and Sky Blue as teaming together with everything
- 34:38as far as the story arc there's been going on, is she turning turning?
- 34:44Is she going a separate way? You know, if they do continue
- 34:47to story arc, and then like it was mentioned, also Willow and Statlander
- 34:53also teaming up. So you know, you have a lot of women that
- 34:57aren't in title pictures outside of Julia a heart that can actually team up together
- 35:01and show a strong women techtic division, not just teams that you're pulllling out
- 35:06at the nerve because a lot of these women's have had tag matches together already.
- 35:12Right, you know, let's go right into our diet of my preview.
- 35:15Let's stick with the women's division. Let's let's just skip right to that.
- 35:19We've got a World Women's World Championship match, Tony Storm versus Sky Blue.
- 35:23Now I don't know what the rest of you think, but I really
- 35:27am shuddering at the thought of sky Blue eating a pin. You know,
- 35:31I want to see some story here, and there's ample opportunity were story here.
- 35:37We've got Mariah May, who is the super fan of Tony Storm or
- 35:40is she? You know's There's been some facial expressions and things like that.
- 35:46The Mariah May is maybe not exactly what she seems. And then with sky
- 35:52Blue that you have Julia Hart also, is there a possibility that during this
- 35:58match we see just all whole bunch of something going on? What do you
- 36:02think the professional Yeah, it's tough because Tony Storm obviously needs a challenger and
- 36:15sky Blue is there. But I don't think we've seen conclusion to sky Blue
- 36:22story with Julia Hart. You know, maybe she gets involved bad way.
- 36:29I really don't like like the I guess having someone get involved in a match,
- 36:34you know, to like a distraction finish. I think it's a little
- 36:37too sports entertainment. But to your point, having heard just lose this match,
- 36:45it's kind of gonna suck. But I mean, she she has to
- 36:46eat the pin here, But I'm interested to see how creative they get with
- 36:52her loss. That's that's why I'm looking forward to, like what what story
- 36:59she is she going to have, you know, after this loss, Like
- 37:01where is her direction is going to Also with Mariah May, like how is
- 37:07she going to factor into this match? You know? So I'm interested in
- 37:10those two storylines or those two future stories, but I just don't I just
- 37:17don't. Again, I don't like the distraction finish. So that's why I
- 37:22just have a lot of interest in just the future of those stories because obviously
- 37:25she's gonna lose, but I just want to know what happens after this loss.
- 37:31Yeah, I mean, I'm with you on that. Aki. Do
- 37:35you think that there's a I mean, I don't think anybody here think this
- 37:39was a chance that sky Blue is going to walk away with the aw Woman's
- 37:44World Championship. So would you be satisfied with just a you know, ten
- 37:49minute, nothing happens match or do you want to see something happen during this
- 37:52match with Mariah May, Julie Hard or something else getting involved. I honestly
- 37:59think that Mariah or I think mostly Julia Hart is going to get involved because,
- 38:07uh, the last I think collision when Abadon won, Julia Hart came
- 38:13out, and I think what Julia is going to try and do is like
- 38:19pick up anyone that like she can, and I hope that one of them
- 38:24is Julie or sky Blue, and maybe Mariah May might come out if,
- 38:32like, if sky Blue is beating her and Mariah May comes out to save
- 38:39uhh uh Tony Storm a loss or something. But I hope that something storyline
- 38:47driven comes out of this. I agree, what about you Age, where
- 38:54are you on this? Because I'm really confused that this is just a squash
- 38:59match, glorified squash match at least, I just don't see why. Yeah,
- 39:05I mean, it's one thing to say that sky Blue is eating a
- 39:07lot of pins. She can eat one more like. I don't think it'd
- 39:10be the worst thing in the world, but I do want to see something
- 39:15a little bit more than just a ten minute match where sky Blue eats a
- 39:19pin. I think for my I think what's most likely going to happen is
- 39:23you might see someone like Mariah May try to get involved and it looks like
- 39:27she's trying to help Tony, but her quote unquote help is not helpful at
- 39:34all, And then you start to wonder whill is she doing? That on
- 39:36purpose right and now, and so I think that Mariah may looks like she's
- 39:42trying to help, but she's actually not helping. But maybe she's doing that
- 39:45on purpose. Is kind of the story here. I think Julia is gonna
- 39:53leave Sky alone just for a little bit, and then it's going to reappear
- 39:59at some point l her down the road to come and collect a sort of
- 40:05her claim on Sky At this point about let me ask let me ask you
- 40:10a question real quick. Shades though, because we saw Julia Julia Hart spit
- 40:16the mist into sky Blue's face, sky Blue's eye makeup similar to what happened
- 40:22with Julia Hart kind of spread, but now it's kind of like Julia Hart's
- 40:29makeup now when she when Julia Hart was in The Cheerleader aspect of her of
- 40:34her gimmick, her eye makeup was not nearly as pronounced as it is now,
- 40:42you know, so her same thing with sky Blue or sky sky Blues
- 40:46got a more pronounced makeup, but it's not like the eye rot anymore.
- 40:52Do you think that she's already turned into she's playing people? You know?
- 40:55Is that the is that what's going on with the character right now? I
- 41:00think there's room for that if that's the way they want to go. I
- 41:04think I think obviously sky is not free of Giant Julia's influence. I think
- 41:14that's obvious how that plays out. There's there's there's many different ways you could
- 41:20go, so it's hard to predict. Another question that this is a stupid
- 41:25question. I fully admit that this is a stupid question. If I haven't
- 41:29gone back and looked at Collision yet, was Sky Blue when she cut that
- 41:32promo? Backstage she was in her wrestling gear? Was she in her Scooby
- 41:37Doobie blue gear? Was she back at into a blue gear? I can't
- 41:42remember. I think she was. I don't think she'd wear her Scooby Let's
- 41:46not let's not get too I just think it's funny. But Benji, who
- 41:52do you think is gonna, uh, what do you think is gonna happen
- 41:55with this Sky Blue match? To a you think we're gonna get ten minute
- 41:58match with nothing? Or what do you think might something might happen? So
- 42:02I think May is gonna have an integral part in this match. I think
- 42:07the build up is essentially going to be a May versus Tony Storm type of
- 42:13match. She's she's coming in as a super fan. At some point,
- 42:17you know, it's gonna get to a point to where May is getting involved
- 42:22in the matches. I think she's gonna get involved in this one. But
- 42:24the main thing is at some point Tony Storm is going to be ungrateful for
- 42:31what May has done for her, essentially causing May to turn on her.
- 42:37I think that's at least me, that would the story or that I would
- 42:39go with with those two. I think that judio Hart might not make appearance
- 42:47at this point. You know, I think she definitely will make an appearance
- 42:52at some point. It just depends on who's the contender for the for that
- 42:59TB a title to challenge Julia. I think when Julie, when sky Blew
- 43:06is a turning or essentially becoming part of Julia and House Black, will be
- 43:13in a title defense where skuy Blue essentially helps Julia retain that title, essentially
- 43:22showing that she's just like someone said, you know, she's been playing everybody
- 43:24along. You know, she's been there is just that she just wants to
- 43:29portray something else and make people believe in her. But I think that's what's
- 43:32gonna happen in that side. But I honestly think that that May is gonna
- 43:37make a make cause of part in this match. I think it will be
- 43:39a good match, but it's gonna build up towards a few I agree with
- 43:50you, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mariah May at some point just utters
- 43:52these classic words, never meet your heroes. It's a hipple is that?
- 44:00Let's move on? Gosh? What do I want to talk about next?
- 44:02We're going to do a couple more Dynamite previews here. Let's talk about well,
- 44:09gosh, it's really hard to pick. I want to say I'm going
- 44:12to save the Copeland and Cage match for last. Let's talk about MJF and
- 44:17Samoa Joe against the Devil's goons. Most people seem to think that they figured
- 44:22out who the goons are, you know, most people were saying it's the
- 44:28Kingdom basically. But do you think the Devil may reveal himself and tomorrow night?
- 44:36I kind of don't. But if not, you know when, when
- 44:39when do we think the Devil should reveal himself? Because if it drags on
- 44:45too long, do you think people are going to lose interest in the Devil?
- 44:49The professional? What do you think about that. Yeah, I think
- 44:54the goons are going to be the Kingdom. I thought that the Kingdom involved
- 45:00since we started this entire story with the Devil. To answer your other question,
- 45:07I think that the reveal of the Devil is not going to happen to
- 45:10worlds In. I've always thought that, like, well not, Actually,
- 45:14I take that back. I didn't always think that. I thought originally it
- 45:16was gonna happen like during the Dynamite in Montreal. I just thought like it
- 45:23was always gonna be like some kind of flaky finish to get the title off
- 45:27of MJF aligning with the whole Gidding War for twenty twenty four, thing like
- 45:32that. But once they introduced this new pay per view World's In, that's
- 45:37when my thinking changed to the reveal of the Devil being at World's Inn,
- 45:44just keeping up with the namesake. It's, you know, World's In.
- 45:46Maybe it's the end of jf's world especially as champion. As world Champion,
- 45:52so I think that's when they're going to reveal who the Devil was. In
- 45:57my opinion, I think it's Adam Cole, But I'm just interested to see
- 46:00how they work this with his legit ankle injury. But that's when I think
- 46:07that they'll do the reveal of the Devil. It will be at the World's
- 46:09End pay re view. Yeah good. I'm glad you said to who you
- 46:14think the devil is, because most of the panel here we've never actually asked
- 46:19them who the devil they thought the devil was, so the professional things the
- 46:22devil is Adam Cole. So let's move on to ship. Let's move on
- 46:25to Aki. I know, Aki, you said who you think the devil
- 46:29is before? But have you changed your mind? Because each week it seems
- 46:34like somebody is getting eliminated and eliminated. But more importantly this match, do
- 46:38you think that the Kingdom is the goons? And what do you think the
- 46:42Devil's going to relieve, you know, reveal themselves. You know, when
- 46:46people were criticizing the Kingdom, mostly Keilson, I always thought that maybe they
- 46:52should know what are you talking about? I did. I thought that they
- 46:58should be like cult leaders, not to the point of like join the Dark
- 47:02Order type of cult leaders, but more like I don't know, Heaven's Gate,
- 47:09but like I think that them being the goons would work pretty good because
- 47:16it might not be like cultish, but you know, it could work because
- 47:21they aren't really doing anything and that could be a pretty cool twist. Who
- 47:25I think the Devil is? Hmm, you don't know. Okay, Well
- 47:35let's look at it this way. Let's see what Shades has to say,
- 47:39because Shades, I don't think you and I have ever talked about this.
- 47:42Who do you think the Devil is? And I have a little bit of
- 47:45a follow up question, you know, with about that, with do you
- 47:50think that the Goons are the Kingdom? And uh what else? What do
- 47:54you when's the prime time for the devil to reveal himself or herself? Well,
- 48:01first of all, I don't think the Goons are getting revealed tomorrow because
- 48:05we still have a little more time before World's End. And I don't think
- 48:08the Goons are gonna get revealed until like really close to the show, and
- 48:13so I think they'll try and then they'll get away. I think the Devil
- 48:19is Adam Cole primarily. However, I think it probably will come out at
- 48:24some point that there's been there's been multiple devils. I think that's you know,
- 48:30kind of like this whole Scream situation. But ultimately Adam Cole is the
- 48:34one orchestrating it along with the help of the Kingdom and Roderick Strong and Wardlow.
- 48:40I think you think it's pretty obvious Wardlow is one of the goons.
- 48:45There was a big dude out there last week, and then Wardlow came out
- 48:47for his next match and his hair was all messed up from the mask.
- 48:51So I think Kyler Riley is another one of the potential goons. But I
- 49:00don't think we'll learn anything new tomorrow. But you don't think that Kyle O'Reilly
- 49:04is the devil? You think he's a goon? Right, Well, no,
- 49:07because I don't Kyle doesn't have main villain kind of energy to me.
- 49:12Okay, fair enough, Benji. What about you? Who do you think
- 49:19the devil is? Do you think we'll get any reveals tomorrow? What do
- 49:22you think? How do you think this is gonna go down? When do
- 49:23you think what devil will be revealed? I don't think there's there's gonna be
- 49:28a reveal tomorrow. I do think the Coons take the titles for Ring of
- 49:32Honor. It starts the down spiral for MJF, you know, based on
- 49:40the fact. Also, he's kind of injured, so I think he's gonna
- 49:43need some time off as well. But you know, I do believe that
- 49:46it's Adam Cole. I've always I felt that it's from the beginning that is
- 49:50Adam Cole. I think if he is legitimately injured, Kyle O'Reilly and I'm
- 49:57Adam the strongest essentially playing the world of the Devil. In the meantime,
- 50:04the Kingdom is definitely part of the Goons. It might be Warlow as well
- 50:08as one of as one of the Goons, but I think overall all this
- 50:12is the plan of Adam Cole. You know, it's that whole long term
- 50:16storytelling, you know, where everything seemed to be fun part at the beginning
- 50:21between that tag team with them. You know, I can't remember who said,
- 50:27well, I think it was that was that it was basically going to
- 50:29come after everything that I'm JF loved, which is basically taking out any and
- 50:34offerings that he's had that can help him out with any kind of match,
- 50:37which is why some Moore Joe had to step in the attack match. But
- 50:40at the end of the day, you know, at world's end, I
- 50:45think Adam Cole to be at the corner WARMJF. You know, and somehow
- 50:52something happens, the devil appears, you know, costs MGF the title against
- 50:57some more Joe and then this revealed that it was Adam Cole behind it all
- 51:04at that point, essentially putting MJF in a position where he's back ass as
- 51:13a person he was before, which where he trusts no one, doesn't believe
- 51:16in anyone. It's only him against the world and making that that return and
- 51:22that comeback to come after the world title against one point, maybe later in
- 51:29the year next year, so we can see a difference in championships and champions
- 51:34between that time. But I think it's at the call behind it all,
- 51:38and honestly it wouldn't shock me, but I think it would be a big
- 51:44pop, you know, just having them real costing them the title and just
- 51:49basically telling them that they told him that that we're going to take everything that
- 51:52he cared in love and by taking his friendship with that goal, taking his
- 51:57friendships with the acclaim everybody and taking the one thing that he cherishes them all,
- 52:01which is the belt. Yeah, you know, I didn't express my
- 52:08opinion on this, but I'm going to express my opinion on this now.
- 52:15Benjie, You're absolutely right that whoever the devil is, well, practically everybody
- 52:21is trying to take what MGF loves the most away from from MGF. He
- 52:29loves the belt. He's been going on TV lately saying that he loves aw,
- 52:35he loves Adam Cole, you know, and everything has been taken away
- 52:38from him. Who has the power other than Adam Cole, who has the
- 52:43power to take the belt away from a from MGF, and who has the
- 52:46power to over mgf's contract, and who has the power to do things that
- 52:52only the true devil can do, and that's Tony Kahn. I said from
- 52:58the beginning that I really do believe that would be really interesting twist to have
- 53:01Tony Kanna as the devil. Now, if it wasn't the devil, and
- 53:06this is completely out there, you guys are going to probably just grown at
- 53:10this. But during the early days of the Devil, we had people on
- 53:15this podcast that were insistent that CM Punk was the devil. Well, that's
- 53:21obviously been thrown out the window. It's not cmpunk. He's no longer with
- 53:25the companies, with another company now. Also, you got to keep in
- 53:30mind that the devil that we see on screen doesn't necessarily have to be the
- 53:34devil that's presented to us in the end. If he is ever presented to
- 53:37us in the end, wouldn't it be it be a hoot If the devil
- 53:43is revealed to be Cult Cabana, that would be just to be just be
- 53:49fitting. That's way out there, And honestly, I've never heard anybody mentioned
- 53:53col Cobana's name, and that's why I brought it up, because nobody has
- 53:58ever mentioned his name. Let's move on because that's ridiculous. Sorry, I
- 54:02put you through that. Let's move on to the final match that we're going
- 54:07to talk about, and this one kind of I'm thinking about this kind of
- 54:12like the Tony Storm and sky Blue match. I mean, what are we
- 54:15going to do here? We've got Adam Copeland versus Christian Cage. This seems
- 54:25like a perfect match to get resolved on a world's end to me, not
- 54:30on a dynamite in Montreal A chance? He well, was that shades?
- 54:39I didn't didn't quite hear you. I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was
- 54:44unmuted. Never mind, I'm so sorry. That's fine, But the professional
- 54:53do you think that this feud is going to have this match is gonna have
- 55:00a clear winner tomorrow night? And if so, who wins And how's it
- 55:05gonna happen. Yeah, I don't know about like a clear winner. Like
- 55:10I'm actually surprised they're doing it so soon. I get it. They're they're
- 55:15trying to move tickets in Montreal. But I think Christian Cage is gonna win
- 55:22the match. I don't see this. They ingest their only singles match in
- 55:28a w I just I couldnt see that. Uh, maybe they have a
- 55:31rematch, you know, at a like Revolution, But I mean I don't
- 55:37have to drive it out for a few months. But I think Christian Cage
- 55:40wins it. Uh, maybe it's with the help of Nick Nick Nick Wayne's
- 55:50mom. Yeah yeah, maybe it's this mom that helps out, you know,
- 55:58sort of like a like the finish to that match Christian had against Jericho
- 56:02WrestleMania twenty, you know where Tris turned on Jericho. You know, that's
- 56:08where I foresee that kind of story indnet, And maybe that's what happens in
- 56:13Canada. Maybe we get a screwdrop finished in this match, just no no
- 56:17rest. But like maybe it's Nick Wayne's mom that helps out, you know,
- 56:22because she's got it going on. That's what I see. I don't,
- 56:28like I said, like I said before, I don't see a decisive
- 56:30I mean, a clear winner without like some shenanigans. And I do see
- 56:36like another match happening between the two, but just I don't think it's gonna
- 56:38be anytime soon. But yeah, that's that's what I got. So do
- 56:46you think that there's gonna be a clear winner in this match? And I
- 56:50mean the professional just brought it up, but I kind of thought the same
- 56:52thing. Do you think that Nick Wayne's mob mom is the wild card here?
- 56:58She the joker? Probably? But I want Adam Copeland to win.
- 57:01Well, of course everybody wants Adam Copland to win. We don't. We
- 57:05don't want the father to hear a win. Yeah, but like if if
- 57:08Christian wins, I think it's going to be like a one win for him,
- 57:14one win for Adam and then them to a world's end or maybe no
- 57:19world's end. But like somewhere someware not the professional said revolution gosh shades.
- 57:27I mean, do you think that this is just a vehicle to set up
- 57:30a future match? Because do you really think that we're going to get any
- 57:32kind of you know, not even total resolution, but some resolution tomorrow.
- 57:39I don't think there's a shot in hell of this match which actually happens.
- 57:44This is yeah, it's not a dying mind, it's not this is a
- 57:49pay per view match. Now they've booked this match, but I for see
- 57:53thee a situation where you have if you remember, there was this big story
- 58:00in old WWF where Mister Perfect was gonna fight Priple Age and it was just
- 58:10gonna it was this huge match. It was something you see on wrong and
- 58:14right before that match, mister Perfect is attacked in the back and they have
- 58:20to card him off to the hospital and so the match doesn't happen, and
- 58:23I could see something where he'll switch and Nick Wayne, you know, besides
- 58:30attack Adam Copley in the back back before this match starts, so that he
- 58:36can't compete and they eventually meet at World's End, but you know, it
- 58:40might be something they give Adam a concussion or something a fabe concussion, or
- 58:45he has to be up for two weeks, and so now we have more
- 58:49build to this match because you just this is you just you can't give this
- 58:51away on every television. You can't do it. I think it would be
- 58:54it'd be very I question that the decision if they go ahead and decide to
- 59:00have this match and then you have another match. I mean, this is
- 59:07this is something you build to. This isn't how you start the feud,
- 59:09you know what I'm saying. Yeah, well, the physical feud really hasn't
- 59:14started yet because other than you know, kicking each other in the crotch,
- 59:17there's really not been a whole lot of interaction physically between Copeland and Cage yet.
- 59:22And frankly, I agree with you. I don't really believe that the
- 59:25very first physical match that she should have official match should be on a dynamite
- 59:32in Montreal. I just don't think it's nothing against Montreal. I can say
- 59:37a dynamite Connecticut or a dynamite in Washington, d C. Wherever. I
- 59:40just don't think it's a dynamite match that people would pay the seat, And
- 59:44so why would you not put it on pay per view? That's kind of
- 59:46mine exactly. Well, unfortunately Benji has uh had to go and so we're
- 59:54so we're going to go to our spicy predictions such now that this is something
- 1:00:00that we do. Uh, you can talk about a spicy prediction about a
- 1:00:05match we've already talked about on or something else you want to talk about for
- 1:00:08Dynamite, could be for Collision, it could be just an outrageous storyline prediction,
- 1:00:15whatever you want to be. So I'm going to put the professional on
- 1:00:20the spot. What's a spicy prediction do you have for us this week?
- 1:00:23Yeah? For for this week, I would probably just go and what I
- 1:00:28mentioned before with the screwjob finish, Like, I think there's a lot of
- 1:00:35meat there and I totally overlooked worlds in with this dude, but I just
- 1:00:40don't I don't think that this is just a one match thing, but that
- 1:00:45that's that's the spicy I guess prediction that I got, Like, there will
- 1:00:50be a screwjob finish there there. They're kind of almost has to be.
- 1:00:54But yeah, that's what I'm going with. What about you, Auki,
- 1:00:59do you have anything spicy for us for this week? Nick Wayne is going
- 1:01:02to take the TNC title. Nick Wayne is going to take the T and
- 1:01:08T title even though he's not in the match. No, No, I
- 1:01:13meant not tomorrow. I meant like in general, whenever we get to that
- 1:01:17point. Yeah, building toward Nick Wayne winning the title from Christian or maybe
- 1:01:25even Adam. I mean it could work either way. Good that if Chris,
- 1:01:30if Dick Wade wins, that Christian gets jealous and sends Nick Wayn into
- 1:01:34his room. M Chades, do you have a spicy prediction for us?
- 1:01:42I do? I think is going to beat John Moxley Clean. Rush is
- 1:01:46going to beat John Moxley Clean. That is spicy. The mill Ry Wow.
- 1:01:53I would have never even thought of that, not even close, because
- 1:01:59I don't think Moxley's can out of this league. I think for a lot
- 1:02:04of the reasons that we're talking about earlier, like it's great that Max has
- 1:02:07been there for a w and when, but we need to develop new people
- 1:02:12who can be also that and so mox can't come out of the semis on
- 1:02:21this tournament. So one of the ways you do that is by having Rush
- 1:02:23sheet and clean, and you give Rooshia Rubb and maybe you start to send
- 1:02:29Moxley toward that vacation he deserves. Well. My spice prediction has to do
- 1:02:36with the ultimate underdog story. And I kind of still think that this is
- 1:02:38gonna happen. I I just can't get it out of my mind. I
- 1:02:43think Eddie Kingston is going to run the table and he's going to reach the
- 1:02:46semi finals in this in this UH, in this tournament, I really do
- 1:02:52believe that. I I just don't. I don't see the reason for him
- 1:02:58to lose out. I mean, I know that a lot of you guys
- 1:03:00and I and I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm just being spicy here.
- 1:03:05I know some of you guys have said that he's gonna go over in
- 1:03:08this tournament, and I can see that happening. For something in the back
- 1:03:13of my mind is saying that he's going to win out and he's gonna sneak
- 1:03:16his way into the tournament because it's going to come down to either Eddie Kingston
- 1:03:22or somebody else winning the tournament. And at that point, that's when the
- 1:03:25draw happens, and with those with two wrestlers getting one point, it puts
- 1:03:30them behind Eddie Eddie Kingston, and Eddie Kingston wins wins, that steaks into
- 1:03:36the UH into the semi finals. That's my spicy prediction, and that,
- 1:03:43my friends, is ignition. I'd like to thank Benji Shades, the Vibe,
- 1:03:47the Professional and of course Aki for joining us tonight. We'll be back
