[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, hello, hello, hello.
0:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Prayin' Hankin' here with Davey Porman for Poison Rana, not live.
0:08
[SPEAKER_02]: We have just left the Rogers stream, where is Arena, what ever Rogers owns everything in this country.
0:17
[SPEAKER_02]: We just left Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
0:21
[SPEAKER_02]: You may hear cars passing us by in some ambiance because we just left A, W, Dynasty, and the presser afterwards.
0:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yeah, have had a fantastic time in Vancouver.
0:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So far we had a night in Whistler, which was fantastic, and then been seeing the city, had a bit of fun last night, if you know what I mean.
0:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we were super pumped to watch some AEW and AEW Dynasty.
0:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say we missed the pre-show, we know we were in for a long time.
0:55
[SPEAKER_00]: thumbs up for the arena for selling coffee.
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I hordes Tim hordes in Canada of course.
1:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I had two which I've realized for these for these A-W shows.
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not spending the $13 on a beer that's going to make me tie it.
1:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to spend the $4 on a coffee to keep me caffeinated throughout the
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry for the noise.
1:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Show pushing for 1.5 hours, but I had good energy and it was pretty fun.
1:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So got there right for the the open and this crowd and it from reaction I've seen online so far seems like it carried across, but this
1:37
[SPEAKER_00]: was a great crowd tonight.
1:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
1:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this city really came alive.
1:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you do check out all the other stuff while you're listening, Poison Rana.ca follow us on instant all that because we did some snap runners on a patreon where we were recording over the weekend.
1:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, we met up with post wrestling Bruce Lord shout out Bruce, who said when we talked to him briefly, it's kind of like there was a little
2:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Make shift, wrestle manual weekend here because it's like we had some indie shows shout out mystery wrestling which was hilarious, Tokyo, Yoshi pro plus, all these other indie's doing stuff.
2:09
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was cool to see this city come alive and I've not been to Vancouver as an adult, but you know what?
2:16
[SPEAKER_02]: The wrestling fans showed up all weekend and then on top of that, this crowd was awesome.
2:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I think around 9, 10,000 most of the upper bowl was topped off, but the whole lower bowl was completely full.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, really, really reacting.
2:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd say that the first one, like that, tying a surprise me, because I think sometimes we're so in our maybe little wrestling.
2:45
[SPEAKER_00]: bubbles and just when they were showing the match graphics before the show started, Jericho got a huge reaction which you know there was the discourse the other week like oh he his return pot wasn't very big and you know there's questionable things that people have like been put off by Jericho in recent years or whatever but um yeah that was the first kind of telling point for me that this crowd
3:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the crowd felt really alive, you know, we're biased, we're Toronto and we have tons of shows, AEWW that come through and sometimes the crowds, you know, maybe they they don't come across that well, but I just, we've been to so many of these AEW shows and I just think from the beginning to the end, it stayed loud and I have to say for me personally, I think it's this time change like this show for local time in Vancouver started at 5 p.m. which is eight Eastern,
3:41
[SPEAKER_02]: That means it's not even that late.
3:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, I think that keeps the energy of like, you're starting these paperviews at eight and they run five plus hours or something.
3:50
[SPEAKER_02]: People are gonna be tired.
3:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So I love earlier, show times.
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I think maybe as well, just as certain markets that, you know, your, your new York's, your Chicago's, your Toronto's as well.
4:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm pretty spoiled with what we get.
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think you I think you have a lot of people like us sometimes we're just sitting and enjoying it.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not our first wrestling show so we're not necessarily going crazy.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's something we noticed when we went to the show in was it Halton.
4:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: How and ego like London.
4:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and lots of animals in any of the smaller ones.
4:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Same I was just in Edmonton for Dynamite and same thing the show time was like six pm local time because that's eight.
4:36
[SPEAKER_02]: no one all the bars nearby were empty so i'm like who's going to go to the show so i showed up just in time for dynamite to start everyone was inside already and like eager to be there so yeah different cities i'd say like definitely a hunger for wrestling and seeing a big production like a AEW or whatever and a paper view like you know Vancouver you guys instantly will get another like i wouldn't be shocked if we get another not only another Canadian
5:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it, I thought it was a better crowd than whole out last year.
5:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
5:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, volume-wise, it stopped.
5:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
5:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, we noticed some people traveling in from other Canadian cities and stuff like that, but also you're kind of close to what Seattle, Washington, or whatever is down this way.
5:23
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I don't know.
5:25
[SPEAKER_02]: It felt like a really cool weekend in this very beautiful city of Vancouver.
5:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just, I'm buzzing from that show.
5:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I felt like,
5:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm halfway across my own country that I live in.
5:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not super familiar with Vancouver, but then wrestling, bringing all the weirdos and the sickos together, and I love to see it.
5:44
[SPEAKER_02]: A great experience tonight.
5:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's something we've always enjoyed when people are like, oh, you're going all the way there, just for wrestling or whatever.
5:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, well, no, like wrestling is
5:53
[SPEAKER_00]: the like impetus.
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like why we're going, but like part of it for me is exploring the city and seeing places that I don't know so well.
6:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
6:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And we've had a fantastic time thus far we've been going out, hitting the bars, looking at the lovely scenery, the mountains and the lakes and everything.
6:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm on top of that we get to go watch some great wrestling, but quickly so we're not spending all night here while walking.
6:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're some,
6:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we can try and go beat for beat.
6:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have any notes, and my phone is on 19%.
6:29
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we're started with, if I'm right, young boxes, is Okada and Takeshda.
6:36
[SPEAKER_00]: We kind of predicted this, like beforehand, we thought that makes sense for an opener, like hot box match.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: thoroughly enjoyed this.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: This might be my match at the night, I think, and I actually loved the, I loved that they played majority of the match with Takestah and O'Card at getting along, because the previous matches we've seen where they've not been getting along right from the get-go has kind of made the story too much of the match and you're not getting to see them necessarily
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: tag team and I thought it was a good decision having them start the match like we're on the same team we're shaking hands they were you know getting along with the tags and all that before the end we're obviously it all breaks down but yeah super fun um just it you could tell oh Carter was just having so much fun because obviously he's got a close relationship with the box and that really came across in it but it was the the return of cash buck cashew buck or
7:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you know the joke or the ongoing thing where Alcada has taken their gear and put it on for photos and stuff this time he did it in the match, which definitely Hawk me, but yeah, you know what this was a match that they only added this week and as soon as they did I was like if you told me that a month ago, I booked a flight just to go to watch this these are two these are
8:02
[SPEAKER_02]: not only to Ocada and to Keshda being, you know, who I think the stuff with the Michael Jordan Scotty Pippin stuff, I love it so much.
8:09
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to think as well, Kyle was, sorry, Kyle Fletcher was somewhat, you know, he was originally meant to be in this tag team.
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They kind of been telling the story a little bit with Fletcher, maybe not being so happy with
8:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Don call us and do harder and stuff like that.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So I feel like I feel that they've been doing this slow build to try and incorporate Kyle as well.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, I think I don't know how much longer you can hold off on this Okada to catch the thing, but I've enjoyed every step of it so far.
8:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I think this was my match the night just because I am still a big fan of the box and they've been killing it in 2026 and and this last year too, but This was a dream match if you will like two of my favorites versus two of my favorites and yeah, I definitely want to rewatch it with the commentary and everything, but
9:00
[SPEAKER_02]: the next thing like they tease that if they win, then to catch to get a match with a card but he walked out on him in the finish.
9:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe Wemley, they maybe they they can hold it all the way all that time.
9:15
[SPEAKER_00]: That's insane.
9:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm kind of okay with that because what is the bigger match for either of them?
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: After after you've done it you know at this point it's Wemley still along like it's still a
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe you can do what they've had one ready but it was continental classic right and that's good driver fucky finish.
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah so you can maybe do part two double enough thing and then do the big one where there's a stipulation or whatever at all in.
9:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to see it again I think this version of Ocada and to kester just the the rise that this guy has had he is
9:51
[SPEAKER_02]: man.
9:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this match was great.
9:53
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and that put me, that was the opener.
9:55
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, oh, man, this is going to put me in a good mood.
9:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just, I loved all the crazy sequences of course, the bucks, but to catch them.
10:03
[SPEAKER_02]: The finish of the power drive me and Matt selling the back.
10:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, we haven't been selling the back since we've been little children.
10:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this match and I thought this was great and I feel for Kyle because when he comes back like he should be on the path to well champion ship again or something, but hopefully he comes back and we can get.
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want, I want pleasure to cast on one on one too, like that's I think I like I have a feeling the end goal was maybe all in for the triple threat and they wanted to pace it where you do every kind of iteration until that maybe.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, off the top of my head next was Jericho Rico Ricochet.
10:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think.
10:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just Jericho now just Jericho like Prince with the purple.
10:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah,
10:52
[SPEAKER_02]: like got a bigger pop here obviously bigger crowd than Winnipeg and you could tell he was milking it like he loved it he felt at home here in Canada.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a crowd that didn't mind getting milked though like there were a few times where like the energy is dipping and they whoever it is, Jericho doing a lot of it here is like come on let's go and got loud and loud and loud and loud
11:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
11:14
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you know what?
11:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it's the crowd that helped and maybe elevate all the matches tonight, but even Jericho and Ricochet was pretty fun right placement for the match.
11:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if this was further down the cards like just.
11:30
[SPEAKER_00]: fatigue and stuff.
11:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think maybe it would have worked as well, but crowd were excited, crowd were into Jericho.
11:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It seems like is his gimmick that his gimmick is every gimmick he's ever had?
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Like is that what he's doing?
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of teased the pose with his entrance to me.
11:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And they had sparkly pants.
11:46
[SPEAKER_02]: They were very nice.
11:48
[SPEAKER_02]: It's too sparkly.
11:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you were distracted.
11:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
11:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Um,
11:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I I feel like yeah on Wednesday, I could see that he had the clipboard and he was all like oh I'm signing my contracts, but I've watched this long enough that I'm like no he's doing he's gonna do the list and that's exactly it.
12:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So I do wonder if we get him going through different things that he's done through the career.
12:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean the best hits the greatest hit.
12:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It really felt like like
12:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we know, we, we know Jericho can still go for quite like his age and everything, right?
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He does that mindset.
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You've seen it in his, like, past runs where you think he might be done and then he holds out a great match.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It, it really felt like he was playing up the nostalgia with this one.
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: It, it, it, it kind of felt in a way like he's
12:32
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know and no one asked about the the status of his contract and how long it is and that But I don't know if felt like the start to maybe a bit of a end of career story just how how much He was playing on nostalgia in the match and then taking the loss yeah, and I think the very like
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: self-aware nature of the promo last week and that kind of thing where he's like, yeah, I'm going to do the jobs for people and I'm I'm not going to put myself in the main event, or whatever.
13:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if this is the last kind of thing for Jericho.
13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Remembley, retirement.
13:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do a time match doesn't necessarily need to retire, but I think it's like, it's worth.
13:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I could, yeah, that's true.
13:14
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I was saying.
13:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'd be good.
13:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Industries aside and everything, but like, yeah, that would be the one I know their boys to, like, at least you could do that match or all in is something for both of them.
13:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought he looked good.
13:26
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's gotten in a lot of great shape since being away.
13:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I think he's 55, right, and still can do that line, so yeah.
13:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Ricochet made him look good.
13:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, Rick Shade pinned him.
13:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was pretty shocking.
13:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We called the, as soon as the match started, I just turned to him when shooting Siren to a code breaker.
13:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And there were a few things in the show we were like calling in the guy next to us.
13:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, oh, you guys watch us.
13:51
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys didn't really know what's going on.
13:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, someone next to us said that, he, we kept calling things happen.
13:57
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, wow, thank you guys.
13:58
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, it's gonna happen more for it happens.
14:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, next was Copeland Christian.
14:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Was it FTR?
14:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.
14:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I forget let me check my very detail notes.
14:09
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it was on dry day and dark.
14:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh shit.
14:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
14:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well, this was another show stealer.
14:15
[SPEAKER_02]: This was nuts.
14:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean the second this match was announced
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like, their styles are gonna, that's the style's class, like on dry day and him and Derby.
14:27
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the first thing that came to mind is, he's gonna kill him with that elbow.
14:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And well, he did, that was that elbow, like his, like Judas effect, like elbow thing, always takes me off guard.
14:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Whenever I see it, he's so quick and snappy and hits it in situations where you don't think you could possibly hit that elbow.
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And Derby just being the,
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: the bump machine he is just looks like his head is falling off his neck from it.
14:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I really want to rewatch this one as well.
14:54
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how I know I was at a really good show.
14:56
[SPEAKER_02]: When there's the match ends and I'm like, I need to rewatch it with like the viewer experience.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That was that, uh, Toka's like the, the, the, Elidolo, the Tranquilo in the ropes.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Like web spot that on dry day does with that, Darby just diving through him with the Toka.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Like,
15:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Just Derby takes the nasty and like this was on the tane side for a Derby Alematch and still some of the stuff he does he did the same the Samoa Joe dive where they are not the stairs and then like it looks cool but the pain that you got to be in after that you could see instantly the red on his back it from yeah doing the dive where you go back first onto those stairs oh that was
15:37
[SPEAKER_00]: very scary, but yeah, this match was crazy.
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Kong confirmed that Darby Allen's challenging MJF on Wednesday for the world championship.
15:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
15:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, where do you go with on dry day?
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I, I, I can see your baby face son for him pretty soon.
15:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I think
15:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He shook his hand after, yeah.
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He shook his hand after, he's got the, you know, not loving the idea of Don Callis paying, or MJ of Payne Don Callis to do his work for him, yeah.
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the reactions, he's finally getting them.
16:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'd say this,
16:11
[SPEAKER_00]: This version of his character is probably as close to that NXT champion, character he had, but so much better now, so much more fleshed out in both senses of the word.
16:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and his ring side is, yeah, woman, his girl was someone I recognize.
16:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if someone we see, she's an Australian wrestler.
16:34
[SPEAKER_02]: But it works on a lot of the Canadian Indies.
16:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think she was working this weekend too, but we've seen her at tomorrow's show.
16:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she does like a pop star gimmick.
16:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So she sings away to the ring and her whole song is just telling you her name is Kingsley.
16:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So you remember who it is, which is great.
16:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Because we always say indie shows.
16:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Just why your name when you're gay?
16:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Just let us know the first time we saw her, we were like, this and she needs to be on NXT or like WWE.
16:57
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe there's a stepping stone there, but I recognize her.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'm, this is the most I'm enjoying on dry day.
17:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still proving like he can go.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a phenomenal wrestler.
17:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's finally a cool coming together.
17:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He seems happy.
17:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's his lawyer, man?
17:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Was it David O'Tongue?
17:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, helped him out, man.
17:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Great job, because love this match.
17:16
[SPEAKER_02]: This, it was between these two and the main event that really, like, that was awesome.
17:22
[SPEAKER_02]: So I can't wait to rewatch this, but that was a crazy match.
17:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, next match.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we got here?
17:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's the tag match, right?
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it was.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it?
17:31
[SPEAKER_02]: FTR versus yes.
17:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Topping.
17:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
17:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Christian.
17:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Coping Cage or Caging Cop.
17:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
17:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Caging Cop versus FTR.
17:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Edge in the Shawn Michaels Survivor Series 2002 gear.
17:43
[SPEAKER_02]: To be brown.
17:46
[SPEAKER_02]: He was wearing like retro edgier, but those colors.
17:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, why the, why the poo color.
17:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought this was a lot of fun as well.
17:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
17:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll know Canada sing along just spontaneously breaking out.
17:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
18:00
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you know, this whole story for months, since all out in Toronto, we were there for that first match.
18:05
[SPEAKER_02]: The story turned into classic tag team versus former friends who are the best tag team now.
18:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it turned into them attempting to murder one of those,
18:16
[SPEAKER_02]: and then months have gone on.
18:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Only for the show to be in Canada and the crowd decides, no, no, the story is now two Canadians versus two Americans.
18:24
[SPEAKER_02]: That's definitely more story, then.
18:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So you know what, again, the crowd elevated this and we're really into these characters.
18:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So I thought this was better than the all-out one.
18:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I enjoyed it.
18:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's still
18:42
[SPEAKER_00]: not felt how I feel it should feel.
18:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that make sense?
18:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I like this match.
18:48
[SPEAKER_00]: There is nothing particularly wrong with it.
18:50
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is nowhere near one of the greatest FDR matches of time.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you think about it, like, yeah, like, Edge and Christian, one of the, like, most prolific tag teams of all time.
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: their tag run wasn't that long.
19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Really.
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: That they they're way more singles wrestlers who are in a tag team.
19:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, we remember the TLCs and all that because they were fantastic.
19:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you think of actual like tag wrestling, like all the double team moves and all that sort of thing, they're they're not really like that.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that is what often makes FTR matches so.
19:27
[SPEAKER_00]: great is when they're really playing the FTR of the best of it playing the tag team game playing the like you know the defense blocking off for a pinfall and like the ring awareness and all that there always really good at and I think that's maybe being a bit missing in this and I don't know maybe just putting the tag titles on them would have elevated this a bit just for the reaction from the crowd or whatever
19:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But I wonder where we go here, because I definitely thought Coping Caged would win this and then face the box and then a three way down the line.
20:01
[SPEAKER_00]: But what do you think's next?
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you just go, it seems soon to do FTR and the box again?
20:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but the box won there match it earlier.
20:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like, I don't know how we get there, but all roads are gonna lead to the triple threat TLC.
20:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's just how I have it in my head.
20:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's gonna happen regardless of,
20:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's champions or whatever, but they were doing the young bucks spots in the match.
20:23
[SPEAKER_02]: They were doing yeah callbacks and stuff You know, I I still really liked it, but I know what you mean, but I would much I much rather have Copen cage being used in this position like look like they still are a big draw especially here in Canada and they're not being used as like
20:40
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, all time or WWE trying to take away the spot like they're not, they're actually elevating the younger people just being a part of the show.
20:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So I still appreciate that.
20:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Would it be more interesting turning them heal?
20:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Eventually, yes, but at this point.
20:54
[SPEAKER_00]: No, like if you're not doing them when the tag titles in Canada, yeah, then like But kind of and we've seem to have gotten about better.
21:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's been a big problem with this huge as well.
21:05
[SPEAKER_02]: It was coming out.
21:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she didn't because it was months and months ago that they did the angle Then coat goes off to make a film or whatever.
21:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So it felt like it was just on the backbone of it for so long that
21:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think there was much of an appetite for this match as much as there should be.
21:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe it would be more interesting just have edge being our soul as well.
21:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Eventually it was photography poses like because that is classic edge in Chris.
21:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
21:35
[SPEAKER_02]: They did do the poses before but yeah I know you mean like eventually that that should come as well.
21:40
[SPEAKER_02]: But people they are a sort of an nostalgia I can I guess you want to ride that and
21:48
[SPEAKER_02]: What have we got next?
21:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yes, we had that.
21:51
[SPEAKER_02]: We had no, no best Phoenix, but yeah, it was shocked to the Canadians losing tonight.
21:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so far.
21:57
[SPEAKER_02]: We went from that.
21:58
[SPEAKER_02]: We went to the battle royal.
22:00
[SPEAKER_02]: The 21st or whatever.
22:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, the Xeno gauntlet.
22:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that one.
22:04
[SPEAKER_02]: What's better, percentage are you at?
22:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are you running out?
22:07
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm just making sure that we plugged in as well.
22:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on 21.
22:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, 21.
22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like the casino.
22:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, there we go.
22:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Except.
22:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it wasn't.
22:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is where Kevin night the jet
22:22
[SPEAKER_02]: to come in the TNT champion, a big move for him.
22:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a bit of a surprise here, right?
22:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I kind of thought maybe Champa just, he was the champs so recently and just be like, okay, let's just go back to that.
22:35
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, Kevin night seems like someone there, majorly behind that the, at the last press we went to Tony Khan was questioned like, who do you see as your next site breakout star?
22:46
[SPEAKER_00]: and he pinpointed a Kevin Nye.
22:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I think Swerves, we're in very positive about him on his podcast and stuff like that.
22:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He seems to be a name like people like and people see a star quality about.
22:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I thought he like the finish was great.
23:01
[SPEAKER_00]: The the sharp shooter into the the UFO.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, on to speech on to speech in Gossia and then I thought he came across really well at the presser as well He he does definitely has a stock quality about him.
23:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, he definitely presents himself like a champion and Hey, he gave me some respect for my OVO.
23:21
[SPEAKER_02]: He did Jersey.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: He loves me.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We're best friends I asked him if he was going back to the rippers.
23:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know that he doesn't want to get himself or speedball in trouble with the misses So I know how he's to face a TNT now He's he can't go in a magic city on a Monday off good pia
23:35
[SPEAKER_02]: This was fun, you know, uh, it had a lot of cool people in this, not a royal like speed ball, Kevin Knight, uh, camp, uh, like seeing a different iterations, Bandito and everything.
23:44
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
23:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it was up there like I feel like we've got as many of these shows and we've seen a lot of these other ways.
23:50
[SPEAKER_00]: There's only been like seven of these matches and we've seen like four of them.
23:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I do think that is a thing.
23:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously the Carl Fletcher injury being so like late in the paperview cycle, it's these these things are do.
24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's either this or a lot of match.
24:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Usually right.
24:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they've kind of
24:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They've lost them being special because we've seen so many we saw one out full gear just a couple of months ago But yeah, it's still funny.
24:20
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was a way to get so many people on the show who didn't have matches otherwise Yeah, and you know what he is he does come across like a star and I think there's a right in the right direction like a Kevin night singles
24:31
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll turn.
24:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they talked about maybe facing speedball for the TNT title.
24:36
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be awesome.
24:37
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, yeah, do a thing where he gets a little too big for his head or whatever.
24:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think he would be great in that speedball.
24:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Should turn.
24:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
24:46
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you do?
24:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Put on shoes?
24:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:48
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I can see us.
24:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I can see them doing the match as like a friendly, if you will.
24:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
24:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so shout out to the jet for becoming the face of TNT, but then we had Tecla defending the women's title against Jamie Hayder.
25:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um, this seems maybe another one like Tony Khan said at the press conference that there was this cycle was as close to forbidden door, what 2022.
25:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a card in mind and then certain injuries and things happening that had to change things around.
25:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So it sounded like wasn't necessarily going to go to this Jamie hate a match.
25:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt the same way I felt about quite a few of the women's matches recently, where I, by the end of it, I liked it, but this was probably the most forgettable thing on the show.
25:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think part of that was we've seen this match a few times already.
25:47
[SPEAKER_00]: This was Tecler's first feud was Jamie Hater, they revisited it quite recently and now you're doing it again.
25:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So there wasn't anything.
25:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They wrestled well, but there wasn't anything particularly special or memorable about it.
26:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I like both, especially Jamie.
26:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I love, I like the stuff with the, the, the, the brawling birds.
26:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I know you were saying, uh, off air before during the show.
26:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, they're doing the stereotypes.
26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, right.
26:09
[SPEAKER_00]: That's ever fucking beer and a, uh, uh, fine.
26:12
[SPEAKER_00]: A fight.
26:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I get that.
26:14
[SPEAKER_02]: But Americans and other people watching will, will like it.
26:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And they instantly maneuvered her out of that to do the singles run.
26:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, I think the match was fine.
26:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh,
26:25
[SPEAKER_02]: the least, maybe story, obviously you mentioned the injuries and stuff at 20 storm is probably supposed to be her, but it felt like the least hype knowing into it, but the crowd still kind of got into it as much, but I do like Tecla, and I do love the spider suit legs.
26:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the thing is right now is, there aren't a lot of obvious big feuds for Tecla.
26:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I can see them doing maybe Alex Windsor next, because that you can seamlessly go from the Jamie Heidermatch to the Alex Windsor match.
26:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I am like Mercedes would be cool down the line like is that the all-in match?
26:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think so.
26:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think a big Willow match in there once Willow maybe drops that title, which could it be against Camille?
27:06
[SPEAKER_02]: True, the gladiator.
27:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she turned.
27:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
27:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, see, maybe she joins tech will.
27:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe one of her willow joins tech.
27:15
[SPEAKER_02]: No, Camille or I don't know.
27:17
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
27:17
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I like I still like tech like I just think maybe we need a some like a juicier story She comes across right though like so much like in that presser after like her character She just seems kind of crazy.
27:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought you two at the presser were we kind of Things we were a little bit Yeah, we were a little bit a little cheeky she was looking at you like oh wait I London fuck yeah, it's like I know this guy where you the guy you came up to me at that one bar in Texas It started speaking in German Yeah, yeah, you were yeah
27:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she radiates cool.
27:48
[SPEAKER_02]: That's for sure.
27:48
[SPEAKER_02]: She lives that game.
27:49
[SPEAKER_02]: It's she was very nice actually, but yeah, yeah So we went from that tech level.
27:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll need a bigger story for the next paper view from her, but still the wrestling really good Then we had a story a returning will Osprey to get revenge on John Moxley for his busted up neck
28:05
[SPEAKER_02]: and the biggest heel of the night was not the devil himself, but the 20-minute time limit that every fan forgot.
28:13
[SPEAKER_02]: When they said, and this match will be 20 minutes and everyone went off, or, oh, I forgot it through the 20-minute, the Steve title here in AEW.
28:22
[SPEAKER_02]: But will us rate John Moxley?
28:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was exactly what I thought this was going to be except he started it with the in blade to moxley's face instantly bloodying him up right away.
28:34
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a great start to the match.
28:35
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this was one of their better interactions.
28:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember watching the old one years ago on New Japan with the one on one and that was really good.
28:43
[SPEAKER_02]: But this one in 18 minutes managed to do everything that matched it and some more, but.
28:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, another shocking finish here with Moxley going over Will with the story of the neck and right away, it was kind of like a head scratching thing and then my brain went to Will.
29:01
[SPEAKER_02]: We're all fancy-booking will last Ray Wembley World Title win.
29:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, probably how all in will end.
29:07
[SPEAKER_02]: But there's a lot of months before that happens.
29:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, we got to do some storytelling before that.
29:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it raining?
29:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Isn't our raining on a stormbreaker?
29:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we might need to move, but we'll see how it is for now.
29:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, I- Oh, I'm right.
29:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know if I look, I'm gonna-
29:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Willos, there's such a high bar with Willos spray, right?
29:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And Willos spray matches, Willos spray paper view matches.
29:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think there are with John Moxie as well.
29:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he changed my mind last year.
29:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I made him rest of the year.
29:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it had some, we've seen some phenomenal matches with him.
29:44
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a very good match, but I kind of felt like I did with the New Japan one.
29:52
[SPEAKER_00]: something missing a bit.
29:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're each other's best opponent and I did find the time limit and just the the continental championship being involved as tall was kind of odd.
30:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And even in the video package hyping up the match, it's like, I'm not coming for your tile, I'm coming for your neck.
30:13
[SPEAKER_00]: and the continental championship.
30:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It just felt a little shoehorned in, and I wonder if that's a deliberate way of prolonging this.
30:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you have Osprey lose.
30:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He, there are these rules, you know, no interference.
30:25
[SPEAKER_00]: No, like, you'll get disqualified, uh, the time of it and that.
30:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And Osprey could now be like, I don't want that, like, I want to street fight with you, whatever, like throw the rules out, throw your tight,
30:39
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how I felt going like when they announced it was now for the belt.
30:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, I thought you were going to announce it was like a Street Fighter something.
30:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
30:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah.
30:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I still love both these guys.
30:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think, again, I'll say repeatedly, though, the crowd, were obviously into Will.
30:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's one of the three stars they have.
30:58
[SPEAKER_02]: But even
31:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I always love a match sign that way as well, just like the finisher immediately and lost in him open.
31:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I still really liked it, but maybe I went my expectations for an aspirated match like yeah that's the thing.
31:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm like
31:14
[SPEAKER_00]: his ball rob the graces matches.
31:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's a high bar, but he's he was still really entertaining.
31:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, it makes me, you know, I think something A W's done really well in the last few months, six months, a year maybe is storytelling.
31:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And maybe that's something other wrinkle too.
31:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, well, wait, how did he beat Will?
31:33
[SPEAKER_02]: He's, he shouldn't have done that.
31:34
[SPEAKER_02]: What's going to happen?
31:35
[SPEAKER_02]: So you want to tune in to find out?
31:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they finally got to the place.
31:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, when these companies started and they're like wins and losses matter, we're going to do rankings and all this.
31:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they kind of completely did away with that.
31:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And when very sports entertainment, if you will, with MJF's first title run, I think they found that happy medium now where you're getting matches on the card.
32:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you've got this on dry day,
32:05
[SPEAKER_00]: somewhat a number one contenders match.
32:06
[SPEAKER_00]: We had that on the the last paper view as well where everyone you know who the characters are in the world title mix.
32:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And if, you know, if a Derby beats an on dry day that puts him, you don't need an official ranking, but we know Derby's up there.
32:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Derby's
32:22
[SPEAKER_00]: gonna get a title shot.
32:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw it with Kenny.
32:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I imagine on dryday is going to be in that mix soon as well.
32:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they're doing a really good job and I feel now they've got it.
32:33
[SPEAKER_00]: We're telling stories that feel kind of sport space as well.
32:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Winds and losses matter like it's it's working.
32:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, honestly since the stories of like I think
32:43
[SPEAKER_02]: MJF having all these people going for his belt and saying that is go such a long way with someone on TV referencing, hey, I want to be going for the title.
32:52
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't do that a lot in the first years of AWS, something I noticed.
32:55
[SPEAKER_02]: And as soon as they did, a lot more people were like, oh, AWS, cooking right now.
32:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there was something as well, like it was weird watching like I'm this company's been around about seven years.
33:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm watching Kenny Omega as a baby face going for the championship in the main event.
33:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And how many times have we actually seen that?
33:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a lot.
33:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Like because Kenny was healed his whole championship run and then he was healing.
33:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess he
33:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Did he face Jericho for the title early on?
33:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so, but like, I can't remember seeing Kenny in this baby face top of the company.
33:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
33:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Going for the title.
33:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's weird, and that is a problem.
33:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's, you go back to your codies and your punks and things and all those matches that they left on the table.
33:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think now they're like, oh, we should just do the big matches because who knows what can happen.
33:48
[SPEAKER_02]: So we go to the trio's match, the conglomeration with the returning Kyle O'Reilly, it's Vancouver's own very special moment for him to come back not only returned, but in Vancouver, in this big venue, he talked to the presser of the stuff about his father, obviously, and how he got pretty emotional.
34:07
[SPEAKER_02]: But then they had the really funny entrance with the sitcom set and they made it look like a giant like set with the laugh, you know clap, yeah, all that kind of stuff.
34:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was pretty fun, and then you had the dogs fuck that couch, fuck your couch.
34:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Guy pissed on this couch as well.
34:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Gabe pissed away a few things he got hurt in this match.
34:30
[SPEAKER_02]: We were watching.
34:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Poor, poor game, I don't know, you know, Orange Cassie was beating him up and he was, I think he was like, yo, fuck off, like, I'm hurt.
34:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Seems like a shoulder injury like that.
34:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, thanks to your great reporting and the presser.
34:49
[SPEAKER_02]: We know it was Tony Coney when answered.
34:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
34:51
[SPEAKER_02]: And said it was game shoulder.
34:52
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I hope he's all right.
34:54
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think, I don't know if that was an audible.
34:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Kyle was meant to win anyways and he sounded like it.
34:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, I thought that was probably my favorite part of the presser.
35:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, was.
35:05
[SPEAKER_00]: just seeing how emotional Kylo Riley was, how much this means him, but also like just looking at like Tony Khan Renee the conglomeration like seem to like really you got this sense of a real backstage kind of coming together
35:34
[SPEAKER_00]: where the NXT guys, we've been watching these guys undisputed era and way, way back, far away, like classic ROI and things like that.
35:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's to see that bond between them is pretty cool to see.
35:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And in our country, like I don't come to Vancouver too often, but I've watched this guy wrestle in front of like 10 people.
35:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And here he is no matter where you're from, if you get to wrestle in the bigger arena in your city, that's, you've done it.
35:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And I could tell that he, I know he did the collision,
36:03
[SPEAKER_02]: to be in a crowd like this, you know, that's weird.
36:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, my dad always come and see me lose.
36:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So I lose a lot.
36:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
36:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Hell yeah, calorie, yeah.
36:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Fucking fucking love it.
36:13
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love the undisputed aeropause, but with orange gas.
36:16
[SPEAKER_02]: It took a thumb.
36:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
36:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was really nice.
36:20
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the main event, the devil versus the god of pro wrestling.
36:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Kenny Omega coming out to
36:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Battle cry.
36:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank God.
36:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, don't know why you said it you said like oh can you never come out It's like going for the title in the main event like as a baby face.
36:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you come out to this No, this is the fucking song everyone's like you had a beautiful like piano version or whatever Yeah, yeah with like I had a sky and the angel wing and I feel like it was it I could be obviously does the final fantasy and I'm not that big of a nerd to maybe
36:56
[SPEAKER_02]: talk about that, but to me, it looked like the menu screen of whether it was Final Fantasy or Soul Caliber or Marvel Capcom or whatever, but I thought it was a really cool entrance for him finally, fucking coming onto that song after so long.
37:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, it made sense.
37:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And then MJF's like devil thing, he had all these girls, witches, and then
37:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like a little Mickey.
37:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He could have got Adam sailors buddy tell him out with the little Mickey and it was kind of from where we were sat We couldn't we weren't looking at the stage like square on kind of look like Undertaker's from WrestleMania 29 like the hands Yeah, they also triple H with the throne in the Cody Vader coming up right so pretty funny pretty dorky But I liked it.
37:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think MJ has been killing it.
37:37
[SPEAKER_02]: So this was a match.
37:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't wait
37:40
[SPEAKER_02]: to happen.
37:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, I thought it was awesome.
37:42
[SPEAKER_02]: It was literally what I thought it was going to be.
37:45
[SPEAKER_02]: You said, like, Kenny is a baby face.
37:46
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't get as much.
37:48
[SPEAKER_02]: So him selling the tummy ache, getting beat up.
37:51
[SPEAKER_02]: MJ had being a complete dickhead.
37:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they, they really put on a fight.
37:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I think doing a good well, you know, it being in Canada, Kenny coming back from this injury, but also we mentioned like the bigger picture of the world title, they're setting up this stuff with Derby, them having on Wednesday the little stared out in the words between Kenny and Derby, which is basically like, I win, it's you and me.
38:14
[SPEAKER_00]: as well as, you know, Oscar is saying an interviews this week.
38:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love to face Kenny once more.
38:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I beat him once, but I kind of cheated.
38:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So I won't that match again and kind of putting that out there.
38:27
[SPEAKER_00]: The idea of Kenny versus Osprey at all in seemed like a pretty big possibility.
38:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe it is still a possibility.
38:35
[SPEAKER_00]: But it made me buy that Kenny could win this thing.
38:39
[SPEAKER_02]: it definitely adds more intrigue to it may be adds more intrigue to as a street washer walks by the cleaner he knows we're talking about the cleaner that's what like we could still get to that but honestly I okay Kenny and Will that's the match the rematch the third right and it needs to happen in
38:59
[SPEAKER_02]: the UK because it happened in Japan, which was what like up and in both their homes in Japan.
39:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
39:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he's home in Canada.
39:06
[SPEAKER_02]: We do need the British one.
39:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So honestly, like I do really want to see that.
39:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think all in Wendley, like, if you started announcing that soon, like, doesn't gonna add more people traveling to go to it, especially ourselves.
39:19
[SPEAKER_02]: But if I got to play a little devil's advocate and I use that word specifically, MJ is on a tear.
39:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And I personally think that
39:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though you've seen it at Wembley, M.J.F.
39:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Osprey isn't also that bad.
39:33
[SPEAKER_00]: No, the Tommy bad guy versus the top thing is the thing like a big heel with a long rain with a hometown baby face trying to overcome it.
39:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Hose work.
39:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'd prefer Kenny Osprey personally.
39:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, but then what does that mean?
39:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been loving M.J.F.
39:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you can do any second.
39:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Any I thought this was wrong.
39:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Around see.
39:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she's free.
39:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this this stuff like again, MJF being the excellent villain that he is, but some of the amount of launch one-wing danger.
40:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, right in front of us.
40:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that he had a few one-wing dangers.
40:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, now I love this match.
40:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I would put it up as one of my favorite Kenny or MJF, but I still think it was maybe my match as a night if not that opener, but
40:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think maybe this was one way I'd like to watch with commentary as well to fill some of the gaps.
40:21
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a lot of selling the diver to kill it to some things like that, the stomach, which sometimes in a life setting don't unnecessarily as work as much as when you're watching close up and you've got the commentary filling in that story and stuff like that.
40:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree, it's not my favorite match of either of them, but solid and this MJF run seems serious.
40:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's...
40:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He's getting it done, you know, he's less of a chicken still cheating, but less of a chicken shit this time round.
40:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, do you, could you see this rematch happening in the next couple of months, like, could you run this back at double enough thing or, oh, I mean, he, he cheated, but he's always cheated with the ring.
40:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, I don't know if that's necessarily enough to warrant a rematch.
41:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know, necessarily we get back to that again, but,
41:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see Derby winning this week.
41:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's weird, like I assumed double-nothing was Darby M.J. F. And they've just announced it right away for this Wednesday, obviously.
41:16
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't show up, or there's a fucking finish, and then they do just... Well, so you don't do a lot of that, do that?
41:21
[SPEAKER_02]: So then they could do it.
41:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's a solid main of it.
41:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, double-nothing will probably do the...
41:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Anarchy in the arena, won't they?
41:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So, which, what'll be right here?
41:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it United Empire versus Death Raiders?
41:34
[SPEAKER_00]: True, yeah.
41:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Could be that, or Don Callis family, Death Raiders, or whatever.
41:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
41:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But the title match, yeah, I'm not sure.
41:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I love this main event.
41:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the three matches that came to mind was Kenny, MJF, the opener and the Darby on dry day.
41:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We're definitely the show's sealers for me.
41:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think I'd go along with that.
41:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think maybe the opener might match the night.
42:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of leaning towards the same thing.
42:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Just I did like the main event.
42:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And that one winged angel was crazy off the top row.
42:08
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, but question, did MJF kick out of the one winged angel?
42:14
[SPEAKER_02]: off-delight 15 seconds.
42:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Does that still count?
42:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I would imagine character-wise, he's got to bring that up.
42:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Because Kenny's promo last week was, hey, I don't care if you talk about my divertatechializer, whatever.
42:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm cared that you talk about Coda.
42:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
42:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And here he kind of did what Coda did once.
42:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know, maybe there's something there.
42:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was really funny that they specifically did that spot.
42:39
[SPEAKER_02]: But
42:39
[SPEAKER_02]: love that match mjf he is on a terrace much as I think he should just continue being champion like this is like when uh like the first title run it was long and there was some really good stuff but think it was there was injuries and there was the Adam's little devil stuff and it was real stinky
42:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we're getting finally like what that maybe should have been.
43:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, writing the wrongs of edge AF I think and this dude's under 30s or whatever he's killing.
43:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's aware as well.
43:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's alluded to the fact that maybe he wasn't too happy with that first run.
43:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't obviously how it ended.
43:15
[SPEAKER_00]: But
43:16
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of yeah too much of the comedy stuff trying to keep the Adam Cole thing alive like we went to that first all in um which we had a great time I was really disappointed when that was announced as the main event yeah it felt it didn't feel like that was our big complaint about the whole of all in it didn't feel like your big first stadium show yeah and Kenny was in a six
43:38
[SPEAKER_02]: with hang like yeah it didn't make a whole lot of sense but now they're they're really firing off we got to go to the presser if you haven't checked it out listen you can hear us ask some questions but uh it sounds like they did really well with the hey reviews like whenever they come to Canada they do really well so it sounds like as well like you know we just had that coach and bro podcast with Tony Khan you know the Russo one
44:02
[SPEAKER_00]: and they're asking him about, you know, taking shots and punching up and him saying, yeah, like I used to do that.
44:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I'm kind of taking the high road and focusing on ourselves.
44:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And it feels like that with just the gradual like it feels like there's been a bit of growth in the last six months or so.
44:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, consistently entertaining shows, writing the wrongs of like an MJF title run, writing the wrongs of having Kenny as a baby face at the top of the card.
44:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's all these things they seem to be doing right.
44:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Tony Khan comes across so much better than he used to in these situations as well.
44:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, media trained TK is a whole other beast.
44:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he, he still doesn't answer some of my questions.
44:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I asked him a question about like not only traveling Canada, but maybe other countries, and he didn't answer that.
44:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And then another guy asked him about something and he definitely like turned it into spring break this Wednesday.
44:55
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's definitely, it's definitely night and day from before.
44:58
[SPEAKER_02]: But
44:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I hope they do more tours like this.
45:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I happen to go to the Edmonton Dynamite this week, as well, I have some family out there.
45:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So I took my cousin who knows nothing about wrestling other than Stone Cold.
45:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Or so he said, because then he's like, wait, is that guy used to be, what's his name?
45:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Dean Ambrose, is that Christian A's?
45:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So, of course, the classic, because that Julia Haunt, like, he had no new position.
45:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was interesting because he was like, he was pretty into the show.
45:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Now he's like, oh, you know what, I might watch this because he's like, WWE isn't for me's a little older than me.
45:29
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, WWE doesn't look like that's a show I want to watch when he's trying to watch it.
45:33
[SPEAKER_02]: But now he's,
45:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Now he's been hooked and he said, Ben Dito on first watch was the the the the star that stood out, but seeing a few thousand people show up in Edmonton now, okay, it was not as crazy as this show, but it wasn't a paper view.
45:47
[SPEAKER_02]: There's maybe like a few thousand people compared to this, but I want to see more of them do these these hungry towns, not just in Canada, but other places.
45:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw like you said it wasn't particularly full in Edmonton, but I thought it was shot well and it sounded good on TV like it came across well.
46:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't feel like you know that post punk ruts that they were in when they were still, they didn't, they were still running these basketball arenas and they were, they were quite sad to watch for it.
46:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounded energetic, it sounded alive.
46:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was going to be that way, and then, yeah, as soon as the show started, they were loud and everything.
46:23
[SPEAKER_02]: So I definitely think they found their stride, you know, I'm someone who loves wrestling and WWE being as crazy hot as it seems right now, but I cannot watch that show, like how I watch this.
46:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I can sit here and nitpick things in the WWE that I don't think I necessarily like or is working, but on a top to bottom, like,
46:44
[SPEAKER_02]: blows that out of the water of my entertainment and enjoying fact or like not every dynamite's going to hit, but every eight W paper view hits, no matter what, like I just think like I really, as a fan, we're lucky you can watch all the different things, but I think they are finding their stride with the more anti-W stuff people makes you want to go watch this.
47:08
[SPEAKER_02]: So like I'm interested in maybe with
47:10
[SPEAKER_02]: the way the bill to WrestleMania is right now.
47:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Some fans not necessarily being too happy about jelly roll and this and that maybe they will tune in tonight.
47:18
[SPEAKER_02]: They maybe they didn't tune in to like check this out.
47:20
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's interesting seeing like people convert essentially to like, hey, wait, wrestling's a whole other thing.
47:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
47:27
[SPEAKER_02]: WWE is this.
47:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you can just watch bugs.
47:30
[SPEAKER_02]: You can, you don't even need the conversion therapy.
47:32
[SPEAKER_00]: You can just, I'm just saying like, no, I, I know, yeah.
47:35
[SPEAKER_02]: When I go to a WWE show, which
47:36
[SPEAKER_02]: the last one was amazing elimination chamber but like i i feel different when i come out of these things i feel like these hit the way like the what's the endorphins you're looking for when you watch shit for when you want to stand up special you want to laugh when you watch wrestling i want to sick ass man MJ i can't remember what interview it was but mjf saying like
47:56
[SPEAKER_00]: basically eight of you like their pay views are in all you can eat buffet yeah like you keep eating until you're full and you can't eat anymore and then the main event comes out and you're like and maybe I can have a little bit more and you feel exhausted and stuff by the end of it but you had a good time and he was kind of saying like
48:15
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of like yeah I agree sometimes these shows are really long and being in the main event and having to go out in front of a maybe tired crowd is difficult but we always tend to like achieve it and I think they're definitely a we give you the most bang for your buck.
48:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
48:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought even tonight they had some merch.
48:35
[SPEAKER_02]: They had way more merch than they kind of usually did, especially on Wednesday and Edmonton, but yeah, yeah, like at least they had like more stuff.
48:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's something they could still obviously improve, but that's always cool to see.
48:46
[SPEAKER_02]: But it was cool to see the city come alive.
48:47
[SPEAKER_02]: There was so many other wrestling events.
48:49
[SPEAKER_02]: We went to mystery wrestling, which I got a shout a mystery rest was fucking hilarious.
48:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope they they do more shows because.
48:55
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like DDT, but our Canadian, like little brother of it, evil who knows.
49:00
[SPEAKER_02]: We, Sasquatch might be my wrestler of the year.
49:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Sasquatch was very, very good.
49:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I want him in the G1.
49:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Sasquatch, yes.
49:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that they call him Sasquatch and not big foot like the Americans call him.
49:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's another little thing.
49:13
[SPEAKER_02]: But we got having matching gear as well with fresh air, their locals and Toronto seen as well.
49:18
[SPEAKER_02]: But dragging gate dudes showed up.
49:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
49:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Rosta, Japanese do, yes, hilarious.
49:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, canter, wrestled, stewed Grayson in the meet-a-man who took out the invisible man.
49:28
[SPEAKER_00]: She got crazy in history and talking of stewed Grayson, who's got interim MLP champ, right?
49:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
49:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
49:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting at the presser, Tony, basically confirming like the partnership with MLP and that, you know, there's, they've now got the TSM deal and a lot of people question, oh, does that mean they can still use certain talents and he's like, no, like we have
49:52
[SPEAKER_00]: as they know it won't affect it like we that you can use out our roster and stuff, which was quite interesting.
49:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I love seeing we saw some of the Tokyo Joshi Pro stars on the mystery wrestling show.
50:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Himawaru?
50:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Himawari with the braids?
50:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
50:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, she's great.
50:08
[SPEAKER_02]: One of my one of my new favorites, but we didn't go check out the actual Tokyo Joshos because it's just like timing and stuff, but apparently those really great, but seeing the crossover with mystery wrestling was really cool.
50:19
[SPEAKER_02]: So I got a shout out support your indie wherever you are because
50:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I knew it was going to be ridiculous, but like it hit the way I wanted it to.
50:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So good on evil Uno and whatever's going on mystery.
50:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think that's going to bring us to an end.
50:32
[SPEAKER_00]: We are back together in the same country at the same time.
50:36
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be going live on Tuesday on post wrestling for up next talking about this week in NXT.
50:42

50:46
[SPEAKER_00]: filling in on my trip away.
50:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think we're planning just like a WrestleMania discussion preview for this week's WrestleMania.
