  Speaker 2: the So yeah, so should we indu? Should they let
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: staying inductum in uh? I vote for yes? Come on, guys, like, listen,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you have an opportunity to do something really cool within
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the ww not just a w W spectrum, but the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: professional wrestling spectrum as a whole. It will show, it
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: would be a good sign of faith to the entire
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: IWC as well as the casuals as well as the marks.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Just to let this happen, Just let it happen, like
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we should, we should be separating our our petty tribalistic
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: belief systems anyways, and all getting in bed together because
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: wrestling is just awesome? Does anyone agree with that this statement.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Which one that wrestling?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, all of them.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Question, let me ask you a question. Let me ask
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you a question now, Okay, So let's say that Staying
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: does in duct or indict Lex Lucre at the w
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: w E Hall of Fame. Should WWE do something bike
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: put up on the bottom of the screen Sting courtesy
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of AWE or something like that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: If you're gonna do it for t if you're gonna
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: do it for TNA, if you're gonna do it for Noah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: do it for aw as as a as a gesture
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of good faith and courtesy and respect. Rip the band
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: aid off man like this is an opportunity for them
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to show that they're not the fed, that they could
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: be something. This could be something greater, This could open
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: bigger doors. And even if it doesn't, you know, it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to unify the greater wrestling community on something
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that a lot of people from both sides agree should happen.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Should Sting and duck Lex Luger into the WWE Hall
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: of fame. Absolutely, Yes, I agree with you, then I
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: agree with you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately, unfortunately WWE isn't like that. You knew that
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: they I mean, they do it for the others because
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: they're actually working with them. Aw's given them permission to
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: use things in the past for video documentaries they've done,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't seem to make any difference because they
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: wanted to have Luger and a couple other people in
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: for Stings final match and WW said no. So yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I mean I can see where Tony would be hesitant
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: to do that because you know, it works both ways.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: If you're not gonna be nice and we are, then
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I can It's just the way the wrestling the wrestling.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Is, you know what I mean? Yeah, I agree.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I think he should be able to induct him. They
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: should get rid of all this bullshit.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay talk okay.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: So I think Tony should let Thing do what he
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: wants to do, because I feel deep down that Thing
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: really doesn't want to do it for Tony's steak.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: But if he wants.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: To go ahead, but he should at least go sit
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: in the crowd and be shown in the crowd. But
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: if he doesn't want to induct him because he feels
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: a certain way because of how let's say ww he
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: treated treated him during his time there or wherever he feels.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have to do it, but if he wants
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: to do it, go for it. But I could see
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: him not wanting to do it as well.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, well what about you, net.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: I say no, I'm no, no, just because of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: way that that WWE has behaved I wouldn't want to
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: have a relationship with them in that in that regard, No,
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: forget it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: So, Nett, I actually agree with what you're laying down,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and typically we agree on these points. Right now, if
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: we tend to this, this community tends to separate politics
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: or like the inner work most of the inner workings
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of that organization, you know from a lot of we
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: excluded from a lot of these conversations, right and a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: lot of what they represent currently behind the scenes is
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: not something that we as a community, whatever front face
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: is that you know, Is that a safe assumption as
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to what you might be getting to?
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that that's it. It just it doesn't
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: feel like it's a good idea. WWE hasn't been hasn't
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: been kind, and I don't remember the details. But I
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: don't think they were kind to Sting either.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: They were not.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: So yeah, no.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I mean for this, I think m K said it
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that they should let Sting make the decision for staying
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: on Sting's terms, because I mean, like, unfortunately, we're talking
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: about people whose names and intellectual properties are owned by
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: major corporations, and that's something you know, as an old
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: punk rock dude, like I can't completely get behind. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: think if Sting wants to do it, he should be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: able to go and do it as Stang or Steve
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Borden and they you know, all put hold hand, shake hands,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and then we move on from it and said that,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you know, the next big retirement.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you know what's gonna happen. Let's let's
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: say that he does do this the WWE group so
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: we say it is just gonna say things like of
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: course they do. Tony Kahan is so weak, you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: that kind of thing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: I think.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: So there's gonna be a lot of that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Well, well, here's the thing. I posted this question on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the aw fan Hub subreddit. Should Tony Kahan allow Sting
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to induct Lex Lugrian to the WWE Hall of Fame?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And obviously the aw fan Hub subreddit is skewed toward
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: AW fans, but I also posted the question on the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Greatness of Wrestling subreddit, which is very very much skewed
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: toward WWE fans. The answers predominantly on both subreddits were
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: exactly the same. Uh. Now, of course you're talking about
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a fairly small sample of AW fans and WWE fans. Uh.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You know, let's just be honest. But there wasn't a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: whole lot of There were a couple of comments about
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Tony Kahan's ego and whatnot, but there were also comments
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: made by AW fans and A and WW fans saying
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we would love to see it, as would I, but
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: they could understand why Tony Khan wouldn't allow it. Look,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Tony Khan allowed Billy gunn to, you know, participated the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: what was it, the DX reunion. Somebody helped me here.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was the DX reunion and they
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: weren't allowed to use Billy gun. Then they went as
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: far as to berating him on live television, saying that
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: he was off with the other promotion, doing things with office,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: with office furniture, which you know now that I'm recollecting
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that event, you know, maybe again it's it's it's definitely
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: a very complex subject, right like and.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Who and who said that triple h Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So on one hand, I would like to see sting Ors
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: or Steve Borden induct Lex Luger into the WWD but
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: WWE Hall of Fame. But on the other hand, screw WWE.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I mean they book against AW
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: all the time. Uh, they will say that aw's do competition,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and right now and for the longest time, I don't
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: believe that aw's competition the WWE. I think it's an
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: all alternative. Okay, I don't think it's a competition because
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's just not. But the thing I guess I'm saying is,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: if you don't see AW as competition to WWE, the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: why is WWE so goddamn defensive, so goddamn always? You
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: know that's the point, right you know? So, yes, I
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: would like to see sting Steve Borden induct Lex lugeran
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to the WWE Hall of Fame, but Tony conscient bend
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: over backwards and make himself look weak in the process.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: If if if Sting or Steve Bordon shows up, they
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: WWE needs to acknowledge that Sting is from AW. One
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of the questions that came up, particularly in the WWE
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Greatness of Wrestling subreddit, was that they didn't realize that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Sting is under contract with AW. Still. Sting last year
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: signed a multi year what equates to a Legends deal
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: with AW. So he is signed to AW. Now it's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a non wrestling contract, but he is making appearances and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: promotional things for AW. This is what he's contracted to do. Now.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I really believe that Sting is the type of person
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that does want to be there for Lex Luger. Lex
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Luger was there for Sting when Sting wrestled his final
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: match last year Revolution, but WWE would not allow would
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: not allow AAW to show Lex Luger on TV. So
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I mean there's got to be some kind of give
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and take here. You know, you can't just say Sting
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: don't do what you want when he's under contract that
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he's representing AW, because just him coming going to WW
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and doing this triple H will come back, come back
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the next day and say see how much we have
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: much power we have. AW could even stop us from
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: getting Stinged.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Kelson, hold on, I mean like like as much. Listen, i'mu.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: My preferred flavor of wrestling is AW. I And though
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I do believe that these people are being this horrible,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the day, to WW fans,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: it's a gigantic deal if they were to put Steve
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Borden into this induction ceremony and have AW just be
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: acknowledged at the very least, because it would undo every
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: single time they said they never had competition in the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: five years that AW has existed. It would make them
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: look like clowns. It's an admission of fault. I I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: think that, yeah, that will that sudden, that's it's that's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: not gonna happen for that reason.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You know they won't.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: They won't.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: They won't acknowledge Sting being part of a W under
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: any circumstances. There's no way w W will do that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: That then then it shouldn't happen. I mean, there has
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: to be given. As much as I would love to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: see it, as much as I think it would be
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: a beautiful sentiment, the gesture would be fantastic for for
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the fans that grew up with in that era, Like
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: there there has has to be some give and take here, So.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with them saying sting, you can't say a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: W what that? But like I said, they should just
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: put like a little scroll or a little something on
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the screen saying.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but do you guys remember when Jericho went on
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: the Stone Cold podcast and he was with a W.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Did they they mentioned him but I don't, and he
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: talked about AW, so I don't.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know what they would do.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I think the best would be for him to have
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: it on, have him a banner, and just do the
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: induction if he wants to. But but then again, you
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: never know with him.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So on the other hand, if if Tony Kott allows
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Staying to go on there with no anything, you know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: no acknowledgement of AW whatsoever, it kind of just makes
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Tony Koht look like the bigger man. Especially if Triple
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: H does did what he did the last time it
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: opens his mouth and diminishes a W afterward.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's all, that's all Triple H has done.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, take he's take this year, he's taken shots
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: at some of the biggest talents in AW saying that
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: they are not on the same type of Brian as
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: w W stars because those people spend most of their
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: time not wrestling on their three hour programs. So like,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I I mean, I'm you got a three hour program,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: You got forty three minutes of professional wrestling, Like why
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: even bother tuning in? So if I wanted to watch
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: a soap opera, tune into General Hospital in the middle
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of the afternoon. Like, and I'm sorry for apologists for
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: going on the tangent. I'm just saying, like there has
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: to be some push and pull in the situation. But
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: let's let's kind of let's change trajectory here. So we
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: do have some actual AW news, like Mariah May's contract
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: is up this summer, and Mina Shirakawa, which is huge,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: is expected to come to AW like this month. I'm
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: excited for it. Hopefully she's on the men for most
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: of her KFA injuries.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I do want to clarify some things on both Mariah
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: May and Mina Shirakawa. On the Maria May front, Yes,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: her contract is up reportedly this summer. However, Select did
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: report that that means her original contract is up. AW
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: still may have options to extend that contract a year,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: two years, or whatever. So keep that in mind. On
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the minashiri Kawa front, her reportedly her contract is up
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: with Stardom this month. Fightful is saying that Mina Shirakawa
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: has always planned and has spoken candidly about coming to AW,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: so that's pretty much a done deal. Furthermore, they did
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: say that she is moving to the United States, which
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I believe has already happened. I believe she's already secured
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: or residents in the United States, but she is moving here,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so it's not going to be like she's gonna be
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: bouncing from the United States back to the Japan and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: then back to you United States again. And the last
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: thing I will say is that later this week, Stardom
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: has called a press conference and the speculation is is
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that that's what this is going to be about, to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: announce that Mina sheir Kala is going to AW. Now, look,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: just because Mina shere Kala is not is not going
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to be with Stardom anymore. I really do believe that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Mina shear Kala being an AAW is going to bring
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: more Stardom wrestlers to AAW as far as on excursions,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: not permanently, and Mina shere Kala the type of person
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that she is and based on what she said in
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the past, will be an ambassador even though she's with AW.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And of course stardom is A is a partner of
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: AAW's or AW is a partner of stardom, whichever way
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: you want to say it. I believe that Mina Sir
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Kyala be a excellent ambassador for stardom in the United States.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, but so we know that Mean is coming.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: That's the smaller part of the picture. Miriam is the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: real like that, that's the real big one there. There's
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: no conceivable reality where they don't either extend her contract
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: out or she doesn't re sign. She's a rock star there.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: That Tony, that Tony stormfeud was the most interesting thing
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to me that has happened in professional wrestling in the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: past year. Deny it. I mean, like like it's amazing.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: It was cinema. It was cinema, it was intended to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: be cinema. It was fantastic. You know that they're gonna
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: keep her around. It'd be silly to see her go
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: anywhere else.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I really point.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: That he's already got a contract sign they just haven't announced.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: That's very possible.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I think about it for a second. Okay, where else
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: is she going to go? She could go back to stardom,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: but her partner from stardom is now coming here. They
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: would never use her any There's there's no there women's
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: wrestling in any other FED that is on the same
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: level as AW in what's going on in it because
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: WWE doesn't use this women very well. She can go
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: to NXT, I guess.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But she.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Would be nastily.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I'm not gonna say that WWE doesn't use
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the women. Well what I am gonna say? I mean, like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: look at Rhea Ripley, Like there is not a more
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you know, identifiable women's wrestler on Earth. The Jade cargills
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: over there as well, and she just looks like women's wrestling.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not that. I'm for the first time in the
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: history of this podcast here, I am defending WWE women's wrestling.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: We want to see these get booked better everywhere else.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: That's the thing we need. Mariah May and I believe
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: her staying with AWS in her greater interest.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Well, especially if me to share a Kawa comes that
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you have built in rose Gold. They were Stardom Tag
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: team champions one time. Not legendary biding means shape or form,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: but they were a good, strong team in stardom together.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Well, speaking about Women in aw's Gail Kim,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: is that a good fit for AEW with her being
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: fired from TNA today? And does anyone here have any
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: context as to why she was let go from the
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: promotion because I didn't get to dig into it because
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: of a dishwasher, missapp.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Well, when you look at Gail Kim, she wasn't the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: only one that was fired from TNA today. There were
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: several top executives fired. Now, as far as Gale Kim
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: goes talent relations creative, she's amazing. She's a great backstage
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: asset and if she look she's either gonna probably go
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: to a W or MLPW.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: So my retort to that would be, if Tony Kahan
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: isn't going to loosen his grip on the booking for
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the women's wrestlers, what's the point of bringing someone in
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: that could help build that locker room. I think she'd
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: be great. I couldn't agree with that statement more anymore,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: But I mean, like we want to see this grow, right,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Like I'm just posing an objective opinion, you know, like
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: what like.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I think she should be a producer.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I don't necessarily have to see her wrestle, but she
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: could be definitely better than Madison rain.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Is.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: So I think she could teach them how to put
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: on a good match and continue building how well they
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: are doing, make them make their skills better.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Well. Keep in mind also with Gail Kim is that
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: she's forty eight years old. Now, so's she's not going
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to wrestle. But when she was a wrestler, she was
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: one of the most highly regarded wrestlers you know that
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: there was, I mean, she was considered elite. Yeah, for
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: part of the pun I can't really agree with what
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: you said MK about her being better than Madison rain
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Is because I really don't know how good Madison rain
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: is in the back. I don't know if you have
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: inxiet information, but I don't know. Madison rain may be
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a fantastic ass ass at the back. I don't know.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is somebody of Gail
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Kim's stature and experience in both wrestling and creative I
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: will say that she probably has more experience than Madison
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Rain in that regard of both of those regards. Yeah,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, she would be a definite asset.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Madison Rain was mostly a mid card you know. Yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: let's let's be real, you know, and Tony has had
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: a history of hiring all of these big women that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to come in and flip the company with
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: success in the Sasha excuse me with the Mercedes Monet area.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: See I'm talking so much ww today I almost called
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: her Sasha Banks. Jesus Christ, Guys, what's wrong with me?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I must be sick or something. Yeah, it's there's something,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: you know, food poisoning, dishwasher poisoning.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Your dishwasher must have exploded.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm having I'm having a very I'm a little
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: bit jarred. But like, I mean, like we want to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: see we want to see more expanding, right, Madison Rain
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: was a mid card person and Gail uh but was
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you know, more known for being much more. You know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: we don't know what Madison Rain is doing behind the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: scenes right now, and Ty was supposed to be doing
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the same exact thing as well as Serena deeb. So
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, without like the evidence of who's doing what
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: is already clear to the viewer. You know, we we
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: don't know what these people are going to do if
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: we bring him on. If Tony's not going to pull
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: the you know, drawstring back on micromanaging everything with creative Oh.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't Gail Kim in one
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: of her last wrestling programs. Wasn't she partnered with Tyavlchyrie.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I think I think that was what she did when
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: she was basically on her swan.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Song Triple A.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: I believe I don't follow him very much.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tia was great, Tya was fantastic, fantastic, and Triple
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: A absolutely like out of this world and a champion,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: but she really didn't do that much anywhere else.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Kayo Kim, uh, Tya Acker and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Tessa Blanchard did a program together for of of Gail
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Kim's wrestling career.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Who's Tessa Blanchard?
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Nope, nope, don't don't bite, don't bite, don't do it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't though. All right, go ahead,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: oh god, no, all right, there we go. We're transitioning out.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: We could transition into something else. Anyone have any I
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to discount the panel because you guys have
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: all been listening to me mostly run by yappor today.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Anyone have any opinions on Gail can before we move
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: on to the next topic.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, she knows how to put on a good feud.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: And that's, you know, besides the r J City and
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: and Maria May and Tony Storm. She knows how to
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: put on a good feud. She had some great ones
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: with I think Mickey James and Awesome Kong and stuff
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: like that, so she knows how to do it. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: don't know much. You're right, Madison Rain was basically a
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: mid car. She was with the Beautiful People for a while,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: but she really wasn't the main attraction of that either.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Whatever she can do, she can do. But I really
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: like Gil Kim and she could be a bigger asset
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: than I don't know. You know, Soiria, who I love
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: but and who makes me laugh?
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: But that person.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Are we not talking about Sarria today? Are we going
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: to avoid what she said publicly this week?
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know what you're talking about or last week?
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Oh no, guys, I have to be that person breaking news.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: She openly during a within the past five days, during
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: an interview, said that she will open the door on
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: a WWE return if they ever wanted her back after
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: she's done with AW and there's a high probability that
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: she's not going to be resigning a contract with AW.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Bye.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: I mean she hadn't done much, yeah, I mean that's
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: pretty much.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: I don't want yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I mean if she wants to either yeah, other than
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: get injured, yeah, or injure other people. To be fair, So,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Why w w W would want her back because when
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: she was with w W for the last several years,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: she was working in the back, mostly unseen, and then
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: they released her.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: So, uh, I want to I do.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Want to backtrack a little bit here because I mentioned
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: earlier about the sting in Lex Lucor thing that I
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: posted that on the Greatness of Wrestling Subody, which again
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: is a skewed toward w W fans, not me, but
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: somebody else posted about Mariah May and Soirea coming to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: w w E because Maria Mariah May's car and the
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: w W fans are many of them are convinced that
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Mariah May is now a w W wrestler.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: And what delusional reality.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I would wager that Tony Khan would put Steve in
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the chat. I would wager that Tony Kahan would put
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: the Jags on on not losing. You know, Mariah May,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it would be very It would be silly Goose Hours
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: if he were allowed that one to slip through the cracks.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Silly Goose Hours.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, let me put it this way. I believe that
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Sorea would go to w W many many more times
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: than then Mariah May would.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Well, as long as she stays away from Xavier Woods,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I think she's going to be just fine. Let's move
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: on to the Owen Heart Tournament.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Wait a second, Wait, wait a second, wait a second,
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: because I am confused, Please please please, I do not
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: watch w W.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: What program was in her page? It was Xavier Woods
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: that that caused you to say that let me let me.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Please, let me have this one because Kelson made a
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: comment earlier that I could perfectly segue off of. So
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Kelson made the comment that Sorea working in the back
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: is what she did predominantly for w w's which is
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: what got her in trouble in the first place, saying
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: moving on to the owen Hart Cup.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: What do you mean when did I say that this?
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Let's so that in the in the in the in
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: the you know, Kelson made a point about page work
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: doing a lot behind the work for and then I
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: turned that into an innuendo about the thing that technically
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: got her fired technically, no, actually literally it got her fired.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: And then the other person involved with that scandal got
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: away scott free and.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Won the.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: There were you know, there were two people involved that
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: and he got let go.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well again, you know, we weren't in that.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: We weren't in that hotel room, nor will we in
• 29:33

  Speaker 1: Plus shame. Let me break in here, Let me break
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: in here. Please, I do not know what you guys
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: are talking about. So somebody go on discord and please
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: beat in detail. Tell me what is going on here.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I'll summon up for Kelson and then we can move
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: on to the owen Hart Cup. Uh uh, we'll get it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, well, we're not gonna sit here late
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: for you to type something out before we go onto
• 30:14

• 30:28
  Speaker 2: on this one. And if you want to hear details
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: She made cream cheese with a talent. What are you
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: talking about?

  Speaker 2: I can't wait. It's gonna be good own hard Cup.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know how far you guys want to get
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: into talking about this. I would like, personally just to
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: say who I would like to see when. I would
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: like to see Julia Hart on the women's side, and uh,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I would like to see will Ospray on the men's side. Uh,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: that's I think this is going to be used as
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: a device to either debut new women or men or
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: bring back Eddie Kingston. He certainly has something to Yeah,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: he has something in this context, So I do not.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Put ed Look, no, don't do that.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: On the men's side, we've already had who either absolutely
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: announced pretty Owen hard Cup or kind of allude to it.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I think Will Osprey has already done it. M j
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: F is alluded to it. I think Jay White has too.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Is Owen on the side kind of curse.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: And hangman, I believe it's also entered into it. If
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you put Eddie Kingston in that and he comes Eddie wins,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: it just close up a w and absolutely Eddie Kingston.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I love Eddie Kingston to death, but he should be
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: no weird near to tournament.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I will put money. I will put physical, my own
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: physical dollars, five dollars to each of you on this
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: panel that Eddie Kingston returns during the Own Cup tournament
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: the home.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: You realize this is recorded, right I do.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: It's known to the community that when I make these bets,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I actually follow through with them. So yeah, so that's
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: five bucks for m K. Nett Kelson and Sunton.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah the inside, I'll say this is over.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Y'all could get my cash app at the end of
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: this because he's coming back. I guarantee you get the
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: go ahead. No.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Uh, I want to say I love the O One Cup,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: but I feel like it's kind of cursed for the
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: men's side because something bad always happens to.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: The winners.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Adam cole Wana and he was out for injury for
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: a while and go to Ricky Starks had it and
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: he turned into Ricky Saint. So I want Ospray to
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: win or MJ would be fine. And I don't really
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: carry on the women's side, but one of those two.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Stat Lander, let's go.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: So the winner of the owen Hard Cup goes on
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to face the world champion at all In Right. Yeah,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: So I think I think, you know, when you look
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: at the women's side, you've got to say, Athena.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: You've got to okay, good if she's already holding the
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: CBS title by the time that we get there, I
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: see her holding TBS title.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Shane, you said, Julia Hart, I really
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: don't think that's a good good one. And you know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a big Julia Hart fan. But you know, honest,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I want to see who was in the tournament.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we will probably see that this Yeah, we'll
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: probably start to see some of that information in the
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: next week or two.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Well here's the thing. Here's the thing, and just bear
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: with me here. We have not heard anybody on the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: women's side enter the owen Hart Cup tournament, have we No? No,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: we have heard the men talking about it and entering
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it already, the only hard Cup tournament on the women's side.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: It would be a perfect opportunity to do the women's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: tag team tournament.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, good call.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Tony Kahm better Bryant, this is this is the time.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, can you imagine can you imagine Mina
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Shi kawamurah May You've got Thunderstorm is back tomorrow night. Yeah. So,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I mean you've got these tag teams, hopefully sky Blues

  Speaker 1: Nightingale can hug and make up or whatever. I mean,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: We've got some teams. Mega Baine and Penelope Ford are
• 36:13

• 36:25
  Speaker 1: if there's still a thing, I don't know. It's just
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: i'd actually rather see the owen Hart Cup tournament on
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the women's side, b for the tag titles.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I could agree, that'd be nice. I don't think
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: they Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I agree, So.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I like that idea.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Look, I agree with you, Kelson.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Let's let's have some fun because on on Collision, what
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: was it? Actually on Collision they didn't air it, but
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Chris Jericho had a run in with with a little
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: boy named Axel, eight year old boy named Axel, who
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: absolutely I think Jericho fell in love. I think we've
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: found a w nes HA signed this guy and this
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: little kid and maybe toned down his mouth a little bit.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: But what a fun segment that was. I don't know
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: if you guys saw it, but oh Uproarris. It was.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Obviously it was as great.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was more convincing than Hook was two
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: and a half years ago.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: About the same size too.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Oh God, Hooks father Tap heard Taz refer to Hook
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: as behind a microphone maybe like three or four times.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: That's weird.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: No, that interaction was absolutelyely Gold probably one of the
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: coolest things. I mean, like the kid aughtit like inappropriate
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: for his age. His parents should be a shamed of himself,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: and he should begin to get plenty of spankings. I
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: don't believe in spankings. It's a joke, but I mean,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: just the way the kid so it was like he
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: was a part of the show. You never would have
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: known the difference. And Jericho, being the consummate professional that
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: he was, played off of it perfectly. Kid, You're gonna
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: get grounded the kid, all right, f you, Jericho. And
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: then the kid pulls his shirt up. He pulls his
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: shirt up to expose a better looking six pack than
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: we've seen on Eddie Kingston since he started working out
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: with Seesa Bay.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, I very nice.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not fat. You know any slander, I'm not slander
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: and Eddie I love Eddie and I'm again I'm not fat,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: shame and nobody. I'm just Eddie looks great right now.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Have you seen how much weight he's lost. He looks fantastic.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: But I'm just saying this kid, this kid is shredded.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: He pulled. He's absolutely shredded. He looked like a part
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: of the show. It was absolutely hilarious. Kelson, You're.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I mean his father did post on Twitter x whatever
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: it was, maybe it was Instagram did say that that
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Axel is a uh he does work out fed eight
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: years old, which is really.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Ed.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: He does participate in youth wrestling.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna be end up being related to Jericho somehow.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, think about it, Jericho, that wouldn't be something
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: that I would not put past Jericho doing sitting up
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: with a family member to be in the audience or
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: somebody he knows, friend of the family, somebody and just
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: set that kind of interaction up because Jericho's good at
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: his job and that's worked out perfect.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: What that little boy has made famous quick. Yeah, I
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: love it.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: W in AW kids, which is a whole different ballgame
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: of ho hument topic, but it shows the difference between
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: AW and WWE that we don't care if kids do that.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: I think WWE would flip a lid if one of
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: their kids did that in the front row.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Well, one of the things that I said
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: was that they should definitely get Axel and bringing to
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Super Card of Honor because it looks like Chris Jericho
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: is going to probably defend his r oh, championship against
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: probably Bendido and just have this little kid come out
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: there and terrify. I don't know whether if it's not
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Chris Jericho, Big Bill or Brian Keith. Let's just have
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: some fun with it. Rustling is supposed to be fun,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: and that was just fun.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: It was silly, goofy fun time. I agree with that, Kelson.
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: If the wrestler can come out, I can't Axel.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, yeah, you're you're not wrong. This
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: kid is viral's tell right now. I mean like it's
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: uh that that clip. I've seen it all over the IWC,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: so like, like, uh, it's getting some playtime by my
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: wife and I watched it this morning, and I'm telling
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: you she doesn't She's not one to be hysterical and laughing,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: but she definitely got some chuckles out of it.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: The reaction on the IWC, no matter where it's been posted,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: has been extremely positive. Uh you know, it's everybody likes it.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it Like I said, it's fun.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, So you know, we had a pretty good show today, folks.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling spicy. I got some potpourri. Anyone got some potpourri?
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I have one too, but yeah, you know, I'll wait
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: because mine is real spicy and it's real, real spiteful.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: So you guys can go first and we'll round this
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: out with something really Yeah, go ahead.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: Me Yeah anyway, Okay, I posted on the red on
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: the subreddit and it got a lot of talk. But
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: I fully believe that they need to find a way
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: for Megan Vaine to beat Tony Storm at Dynasty and
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: do something small, doesn't matter what it is, just to
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: put some good heat on Megan Vain and and let
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: her be the monster that she's supposed to be.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with any kind of surprise.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Well work to be venus a surprise win by somebody
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: that maybe isn't expected to win. It was the last
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: time that that. One of the things that I saw
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: posted was when was the last time somebody got a
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: big win like that? And somebody said Action Andretti beating
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Chris Jericho, it needs toff. That's out of the blue,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: just to keep that history about it.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: They were.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: And that match was great, that Jericho match. They were screaming,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: let's go Jobber. They didn't even know his name.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great. Now not I wanted to go
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: to you because you had something that you wanted to
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: bring up about Megan Bain. Oh.
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: I don't remember who it was, but somebody here on
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: our podcast was saying that Megan Bain does not talk
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: and that she needs a mouthpiece. She was talking on Collision.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: She had her own whole little segment about what she
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: was going to do to all the other women in
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: the women's division. So she does indeed speak, and I've
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: heard her on the mic in other wrestling promos as well,
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: but she's she's out there and she speaks for herself.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: So that that was my thing.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: Megan does indeed talk.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Not to worry.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Even though it was a big yette. She sounded like
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: a voice like a what sounded like a voice actress.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, she sounded really professional. I mean just just
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: the inflections and everything else in her voice was like, Oh, yeah,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: she's done this before.
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: I think she tries to I don't know. I think
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: she's from the East Coast somewhere. I think she might
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: try to hide her accent and it comes out when
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: she's angry. That's the impression did I get.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: She's from Mount Olympus Pennsylvania.
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: Oh that's right, that's right.
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, well I do have suck.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Did you have a potpourri? Nope?
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Well I'll mention something that that we had talked that
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: other somebody had posted that we removed is about the FTR.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: The FTR deal. Someone in our.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Earlier today had mentioned in this that that they wanted
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: to talk about FTR breaking up. And I think basically
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: it comes from what happened last Wednesday after the title match.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: You know, they they they didn't end on like it
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: looked like good terms. I didn't see collision this weekend.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: They were supposed to be on the Saturday show Rated
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: ar Rated FTR was supposed to be on there.
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know what happened, but.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I believe you're talking uh rated FTR. I believe it
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be on tomorrow night. I thought it
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: was on Saturday.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, either way, it's gonna end up being somewhere where
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: they're probably going to turn FTR heel And it was
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: just a preemptive thing to that. That's usually how they
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: do it when do this kind of thing. So I
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: don't think it's really that they're splitting up. I don't
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: see that happening.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Ever, when you hear about the when somebody, when the
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: person said that, and I don't know who said it
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: about FDR break it up, maybe they meant rated FDR
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: because I could definitely see rated FDR breaking up.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: So well, I agree, I think that's going to happen,
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: because I don't think they're going to be doing anything
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: in storyline together for a while, because you figure, after
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: the whole fiasco for Cope ons Wednesday last week, he's
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: going after the patriarchy for sure.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I I have a pupriator, as i'd say,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of things that I wanted to bring up,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and I hope to god I'm not stealing Shane's thunder here,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to bring up Bay PNA star injured
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: on October twenty seventh, paralyzed from the neck down. That's
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: injured in the match against the Hearty's. They had a benyfit,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that's what it is, a benyfit for Bay event Saturday night,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: and Chris Bay came out of the back, walked down
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the ramp, climbed the stairs and got into the ring
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: and cut a promo. Un believable.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Also unbelievable, Yeah, Yeah, absolutely a tear jerker. Two, the fact,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: I mean he's pushing himself to get himself ring ready.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Now that's not probable that will ever be a thing
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: again with his neck protocol. But the fact that he
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: was able to push through that injury. I saw that
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: injury in real time. It was crazy. It's very that's amazing.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: So again, this is this is another thing that's been
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: posted on the IWC, and it doesn't matter if you're
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: an aaw fan, ww fan, New Japan Fan, TRIPLEA fan,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: tiers all around, and people said that they've met the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: guy and that he's just such a good guy. I
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: don't doubt it. You can just kind of see it
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: in his swagger and the way he carries himself, how
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: much this means to him and the work that he's done.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: He was paralyzed on October twenty seventh and walked to
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the ring in late March, mid March. Just unbelievable. And
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: that brings me, you know, my second potpourri during that
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: beanyfit for bay Swore, Strickland and other members of AWWWE DNA,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I mean just for everywhere they came to this benefit
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: to pay to raise money for Chris Bay, swear Strickland
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: was there. He led a chant in the ring whose
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: house Bay's house, which was really cool, but he swear
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Strickland is at that point was not clear to wrestle.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Of course, he suffered a ruptured ear drum, so he
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: was not clear to wrestle. But he did go on
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: to say that when Chris Bay is if if Chris Bay,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: and it is improbable like Shane said, but if Chris
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Bay is ever to get back into the ring, swear
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Strickland's going to be there. And I don't doubt it
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: a minute because that's the kind of man that swear Strickland.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: They impression that he gives me when he says something,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: he does it. So you know, AW fan should be
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: proud of swear Strickland as well.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Then Brian Cage was there, Leo Rush was there. I apologize,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I probably know I'm missing somebody, but you know, AW
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: had some good representation at that benefit. So and that
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: was it was nice. I mean, and the show was
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: really well done and it was just awesome. If you
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it, just go on anywhere and just search
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: for Chris Bade. I swear to God have tissues ready
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: and that's by Poe Prairie.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Oh I get to bring it home, all right, all right,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: So guys, I've been a wrestling fan for the greater
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: part of my life. I'm thirty eight years old, so
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: we're probably talking like at least thirty thirty two years
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: of me watching professional wrestling. And I get to sleep
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: soundly tonight knowing that Eric Bischoff will never have anything
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: to do with professional wrestling again ever for the rest
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: of history, the history of wrestling. According to him. Two
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: days ago, Hell yeah, Eric Eric Bischoff, when it was
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: announced that a e W matched w CW Nitro Eric
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Bischoff and within twenty four hours said that he is
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: done working with and for professional wrestling. Uh forever, he's done.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: He's retiring from wrestling.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: I don't believe it.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't believe he said it.
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: So say it, but cool.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, then he's he's a hypocrite, He's a
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: hypocrittic Carney. Then then seeing a couple of months there,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: buddy so and we're all marks.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: That's fine, but something happen will draw his attention and
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: he'll be back away.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: The statement that he made, although we've seen statements like
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: these from him in the past, seemed much more convincing
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: that he just doesn't have the emotional capacity to continue
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: to put energy into professional wrestling as he did when
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: he was younger, and he'll never have an and so
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: he said something along the lines of, I know I'll
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: never have an impact on greater part of professional wrestling again,
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: so why even bother? So yeah, again, I I apologize
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: for ending this podcast cynically, but I can't stand for
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: your so that that's your pot pourri, that was my
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: pour Yes, that's right, alrighty.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Then I can't believe I just said that. Right then,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: somebody shoot me.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: That's that's the show that we're having today, alrighty then.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I said that. So that's our show for tonight, look
