Hey, come here.
3
00:00:08.150 --> 00:00:09.190
You like pro wrestling?
4
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:11.450
We got a little sum-sum for ya.
5
00:00:11.930 --> 00:00:14.290
Two fans, 3,000 miles away.
6
00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:17.190
We've each been watching for more than 30 years.
7
00:00:17.630 --> 00:00:18.850
Celebrate the art form.
8
00:00:20.950 --> 00:00:22.670
The homoeroticism.
9
00:00:23.290 --> 00:00:24.350
We hate great magic.
10
00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:26.310
We hate analyzing stories.
11
00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:27.950
We hate experts.
12
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.820
Sit down, shut up, and bark!
13
00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:40.860
Hello everybody and welcome back to another edition
14
00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:43.800
of Sit Down, Shut Up, Mark Out!
15
00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:46.720
A pro wrestling podcast about pro wrestling.
16
00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:49.840
And I have joined today my special guest,
17
00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:51.060
returning guest,
18
00:00:52.580 --> 00:00:54.100
Innit Baaab from the UK.
19
00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:54.840
What's up, buddy?
20
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:56.800
All good.
21
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:57.920
EyeBlade, how are you doing? You okay?
22
00:00:58.420 --> 00:01:01.400
You're back because you're a fun person to have around.
23
00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:02.880
And I really appreciate you making the time.
24
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.680
What time is it out there where you are?
25
00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:07.300
In the United Kingdom, it is currently,
26
00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:09.880
well, currently 10 past 10 p.m.
27
00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:10.460
Wow.
28
00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:11.440
So it's pretty late.
29
00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:12.300
Yeah.
30
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:13.380
We've had our day.
31
00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:16.860
I don't want to brag, but I'm staying up.
32
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:19.320
It is 3 p.m. here and I'm,
33
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.200
I just, I make it happen.
34
00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:22.000
You know what I mean?
35
00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:22.980
3 p.m.
36
00:01:23.300 --> 00:01:26.380
And I stayed up that late just so that we could do this.
37
00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:28.120
And it's, it's all for the people.
38
00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:29.820
It's because I give everything I got.
39
00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:32.780
I'll probably have somebody write a song about it for me.
40
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.720
But I do got to say the pay-per-view hangover is real.
41
00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:38.520
It's very, very real.
42
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.800
Aw will put so much adrenaline in my body.
43
00:01:43.940 --> 00:01:46.320
Like I will have so much adrenaline going through me,
44
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:49.920
including watching the main event going, no, no, no, no.
45
00:01:50.020 --> 00:01:50.680
Oh, okay.
46
00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:51.880
No, no.
47
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:53.440
All right.
48
00:01:53.620 --> 00:01:54.100
Okay.
49
00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:55.560
No, don't do that.
50
00:01:55.580 --> 00:01:56.340
No, no.
51
00:01:56.800 --> 00:01:57.100
Get up.
52
00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:57.420
Get up.
53
00:01:57.580 --> 00:01:57.800
Get up.
54
00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:58.360
Get up.
55
00:01:58.540 --> 00:01:58.660
Okay.
56
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:00.700
No, that's gotta be the end.
57
00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:01.980
No, no shit.
58
00:02:02.380 --> 00:02:02.800
Okay.
59
00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:06.380
That's what I did for solid 30 minutes.
60
00:02:06.860 --> 00:02:09.759
And when you do that, it exhausts you.
61
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:10.680
It makes you real tired.
62
00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:16.660
So I have kind of felt this post pay-per-view hangover.
63
00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:17.520
What about you?
64
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:21.680
It's a weird time period from revolution to well,
65
00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:23.360
to then dynamite to where we are now.
66
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.480
Yeah. Very odd.
67
00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:26.820
I'm still trying to take it all in to be fair.
68
00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:29.920
It takes me a few days after a pay-per-view to really let it sink in.
69
00:02:29.940 --> 00:02:32.740
And sometimes I try and rewatch it back where I can as well.
70
00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:33.300
Yeah.
71
00:02:33.460 --> 00:02:33.860
Absolutely.
72
00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:34.700
Yeah.
73
00:02:34.700 --> 00:02:39.520
I rewatched the first three matches from revolution the other night,
74
00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:42.020
just in bed on my iPad.
75
00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:44.640
And I was like, you know, I'll just,
76
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:46.800
I'll probably fall asleep during the first match.
77
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:47.420
Nope.
78
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.160
Made it through three and it was so good.
79
00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:51.660
I mean, it's just so compelling.
80
00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:57.740
And I mean, AW, you know, does pay-per-view like nobody else.
81
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.120
So, I mean, that's, that's just the way it is.
82
00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:01.880
Big ads.
83
00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:05.480
Also sometimes called big dads is a,
84
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.100
it's funny because blade is old and 3pm is an all-nighter for him.
85
00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:09.120
That is true.
86
00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:10.500
That is true.
87
00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:14.100
It's a, you know, like kids have a nap time.
88
00:03:14.940 --> 00:03:16.320
I just have sleep times.
89
00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:20.860
Like I'm only awake for about three hours a day because I'm just
90
00:03:20.860 --> 00:03:23.540
progressively turning into dust, but that's okay.
91
00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:24.540
That's no problem.
92
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.740
You guys are just watching me waste away doing nothing.
93
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.260
Don't feel bad though.
94
00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:30.540
Okay.
95
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.840
So today we're going to be talking about a few different things.
96
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:36.620
Hangman is taking some time off.
97
00:03:37.940 --> 00:03:38.620
I have a question.
98
00:03:38.660 --> 00:03:43.220
Is Hangman the main character of AEW or might it be somebody else?
99
00:03:43.220 --> 00:03:45.600
Cause I have a theory that it might just be somebody else.
100
00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:47.760
Will Ospreay is back.
101
00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:50.660
Toni Storm has been murdered.
102
00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:52.960
Kind of.
103
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.760
But we found out today she will not be back at all this year.
104
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:58.680
Like crazy.
105
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.760
So whatever's going on, it was pretty drastic.
106
00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:04.460
Mina Shirakawa actually got a win.
107
00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:07.380
Swerve wants Kenny Omega's EVP power.
108
00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:12.800
And Cage and Copeland versus FTR is official for dynasty.
109
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.960
And then lastly, bad crap.
110
00:04:15.540 --> 00:04:16.360
We'll get there.
111
00:04:16.440 --> 00:04:17.200
We'll get there.
112
00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:19.940
But in a bad, you know, we kind of talked about this already.
113
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.060
You can't tell big stories without taking a big risk.
114
00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:29.780
So what did you think at the time of Hangman losing and not being able to
115
00:04:29.780 --> 00:04:30.520
challenge for the title?
116
00:04:30.820 --> 00:04:31.900
And what do you think of it now?
117
00:04:31.940 --> 00:04:32.680
Is it any different?
118
00:04:33.140 --> 00:04:37.140
On the night, probably because of sleep deprivation at the time,
119
00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:38.660
cause it was, God, what was it?
120
00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:40.700
4 AM, 4 30 where I am.
121
00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:42.000
A bit gutted generally.
122
00:04:42.020 --> 00:04:43.280
Cause I had it in my head.
123
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.680
Like a lot of people did that Hangman was going to do it.
124
00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:48.740
We didn't want to see the Cody yet again.
125
00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:52.480
However, now we've had a few days to let it all sink in.
126
00:04:53.460 --> 00:04:54.760
Let's see how it plays out.
127
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:55.680
That's where I'm at.
128
00:04:55.820 --> 00:04:56.300
Basically.
129
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:57.700
Yeah.
130
00:04:58.020 --> 00:04:58.360
Yeah.
131
00:04:58.380 --> 00:04:59.600
And it's, you know,
132
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.480
it's the darkest ending to a pay-per-view that I can remember AEW doing,
133
00:05:04.940 --> 00:05:06.180
at least in a very long time.
134
00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:09.320
I can't think of one that's more like, fuck,
135
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:10.880
like what do we do?
136
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.380
Than that.
137
00:05:13.820 --> 00:05:16.340
But it was a night of fantastic wrestling,
138
00:05:16.340 --> 00:05:18.480
a very heel heavy night,
139
00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:22.960
which AEW tends to like not go in for as much,
140
00:05:23.820 --> 00:05:27.500
but knowing the results and just going back without that tension running
141
00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:28.080
through me.
142
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:30.820
I'm really enjoying the rewatch of the show.
143
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:32.340
It's really a lot of fun.
144
00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:33.440
It's a lot of fun.
145
00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:34.200
Fuck you mama.
146
00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:35.960
Two times says that's three years in a row.
147
00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:38.200
Revolution has been my favorite pay-per-view.
148
00:05:38.340 --> 00:05:40.080
Pay-per-view first was sting retirement.
149
00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:43.480
Then last year was the three five-star matches in a row.
150
00:05:43.700 --> 00:05:43.900
Yeah.
151
00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:44.560
I remember that.
152
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.400
And this year it was the whole card being good to amazing.
153
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.220
Very true.
154
00:05:48.700 --> 00:05:49.260
Very true.
155
00:05:49.320 --> 00:05:49.760
Yep.
156
00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:52.700
And I feel the same.
157
00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.200
I think there was, I really didn't,
158
00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:58.840
I thought the hangman thing was a huge mistake if they did,
159
00:05:58.840 --> 00:05:59.880
if they went there.
160
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.500
And by the way, chat,
161
00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:03.680
I need to have a word with you all last week.
162
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.460
I was going to predict the hangman lost and you all talked me out of it.
163
00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:13.020
You all gaslit me into believing that there was a chance that the hangman
164
00:06:13.020 --> 00:06:13.980
could hold onto it.
165
00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:15.500
But no, did he?
166
00:06:15.640 --> 00:06:15.940
No.
167
00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:16.920
Was I wrong?
168
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:17.560
Of course.
169
00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:19.920
But I let you make me wrong.
170
00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:20.660
Okay.
171
00:06:20.740 --> 00:06:21.740
All of you were wrong.
172
00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:25.080
Nobody was saying hangman was going to lose in this chat.
173
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:26.640
There was a lot of you.
174
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:28.580
They say never to blame the audience.
175
00:06:28.580 --> 00:06:29.860
I just kind of ignore that role.
176
00:06:30.460 --> 00:06:32.480
But yeah, there's obviously reasons for this.
177
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.120
And even if they can get around it eventually,
178
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.820
I think the shot of MJF standing on his body on the stretcher with the
179
00:06:41.820 --> 00:06:45.820
belt held high will be an all-time iconic photo of,
180
00:06:46.780 --> 00:06:48.420
of an AEW history.
181
00:06:48.580 --> 00:06:50.920
It was the cover of our last episode,
182
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.680
but it was a cover of everybody's episode because it's an iconic picture.
183
00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:56.640
And,
184
00:06:57.640 --> 00:07:00.560
and I think it really cements Max like this.
185
00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:02.260
We'll get into it more,
186
00:07:02.460 --> 00:07:06.460
but Max is back back like this is not like coming,
187
00:07:06.460 --> 00:07:06.920
you know,
188
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.080
I'll hold the belt for a few months then go do another movie.
189
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.360
He's all the way dialed in.
190
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.980
But let's, you know, let's talk about, let's talk about hangman here.
191
00:07:15.020 --> 00:07:20.140
So on Monday degree and I had said that we felt like hangman was probably
192
00:07:20.140 --> 00:07:22.340
being written off for the foreseeable future.
193
00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:25.860
And it came out Wednesday via FIFL that he is,
194
00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:27.640
he's taking some time off from the company.
195
00:07:27.780 --> 00:07:29.300
I don't know if he's having another kid.
196
00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:31.510
Please let your wife recover.
197
00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:32.840
Jesus Christ.
198
00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:36.240
This woman's that would be three children in like four years,
199
00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:39.180
like give her, give her a rest for God's sake.
200
00:07:39.260 --> 00:07:40.100
Who knows?
201
00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:43.500
But even if it isn't for like a family expansion thing,
202
00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:47.360
it feels like a smart move to me because anyone who took that kind of
203
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.400
beating one needs to disappear for a while.
204
00:07:50.340 --> 00:07:53.700
It frees up the main event scene just as Will Ospreay returns and Swerve
205
00:07:53.700 --> 00:07:56.000
and Kenny are emerging as title contenders.
206
00:07:56.140 --> 00:07:59.320
And there's a ton of stars on the rise who need room to be able to
207
00:07:59.320 --> 00:08:01.100
elevate to main event level status.
208
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:02.140
You got Brody,
209
00:08:02.440 --> 00:08:02.860
Bandido,
210
00:08:03.140 --> 00:08:03.480
Andrade,
211
00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:04.240
Darby.
212
00:08:04.380 --> 00:08:08.160
And those are just the people who have something to do with MJF
213
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.020
currently,
214
00:08:09.340 --> 00:08:12.320
like they have interacted recently about the title.
215
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:14.960
So it's,
216
00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:15.300
you know,
217
00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:17.720
there's a lot of possibilities from here,
218
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:18.600
but yeah,
219
00:08:18.640 --> 00:08:23.060
what seemed like the dumbest thing they could have possibly done a few
220
00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:24.080
days later was like,
221
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.760
actually there's a lot of possibilities.
222
00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:29.160
Let's see what you all have to say.
223
00:08:29.340 --> 00:08:30.060
Larry Line seven.
224
00:08:30.140 --> 00:08:33.140
I will say I'm no more sold on Hayman losing than I was before.
225
00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:35.679
I do wonder if they would have gone with the ending if they knew
226
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.820
they'd also be without Tony Storm for so long.
227
00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:39.900
I mean,
228
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:40.640
fair point,
229
00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:43.539
but I think that yeah.
230
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:45.900
And I don't know.
231
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.460
I assume Tony got injured in the match with Marina.
232
00:08:49.780 --> 00:08:51.820
I assume that's what happened.
233
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:52.640
Yeah.
234
00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:53.660
But I,
235
00:08:53.780 --> 00:08:54.080
you know,
236
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.100
I don't know because there's it's like,
237
00:08:56.100 --> 00:08:57.920
she's going to be gone a really long time,
238
00:08:57.920 --> 00:08:59.860
but we're not going to say what's going on.
239
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:00.900
And so.
240
00:09:01.780 --> 00:09:02.720
That makes me wonder,
241
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:03.320
you know,
242
00:09:03.400 --> 00:09:05.680
what's going on the scare.
243
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:06.660
Thank you.
244
00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:09.240
I've been feeling bad about leading you astray all week.
245
00:09:09.780 --> 00:09:13.000
That's the kind of contrition we're looking for.
246
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:13.700
And sit down,
247
00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:14.040
shut up,
248
00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:14.560
mark out.
249
00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:15.680
And not for me.
250
00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:16.660
It's from you all.
251
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.260
When you lead me astray,
252
00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:18.880
you say,
253
00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:19.300
sorry,
254
00:09:19.520 --> 00:09:20.780
when I lead you to astray,
255
00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:22.800
I move on and pretend I never said it.
256
00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:23.580
Steward universe.
257
00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:25.900
It's feeling more like the chapter of AEW where the main
258
00:09:25.900 --> 00:09:28.420
character was hanger has possibly concluded.
259
00:09:28.420 --> 00:09:31.280
And now we get to see a new main character of AEW.
260
00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:31.980
Interesting.
261
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:32.800
Interesting.
262
00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:33.620
I like it.
263
00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:34.680
This rebel.
264
00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:35.240
Fuck you,
265
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:35.340
mama.
266
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:35.740
Two times.
267
00:09:35.860 --> 00:09:36.900
This revolution was dark,
268
00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:39.720
but all out tends to be that show for me,
269
00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:42.420
where it's a lot of rematches and usually really bloody.
270
00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:43.680
I,
271
00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:43.840
yeah,
272
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.020
I would say the ending to all out 20,
273
00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:49.220
24 where hang man's like screaming on top of the ramp.
274
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:53.060
After defeating swerve in the lights out cage match.
275
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.920
That was a very dark ending.
276
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:55.760
God damn,
277
00:09:55.780 --> 00:09:57.780
that was so good though.
278
00:09:58.860 --> 00:09:59.820
Oh yeah.
279
00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:00.420
Yep.
280
00:10:00.900 --> 00:10:02.480
Mark Briscoe calls that rookie numbers,
281
00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:03.540
bump those numbers up.
282
00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:04.180
Yeah.
283
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:05.500
Let's bump those numbers up.
284
00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:06.660
I don't even know what we're talking about,
285
00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:07.040
but yeah,
286
00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:07.760
do it.
287
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:08.740
More babies.
288
00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:10.220
Yes.
289
00:10:10.520 --> 00:10:10.820
Yes.
290
00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:11.200
Oh,
291
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:11.540
kids.
292
00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:12.780
Yes.
293
00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:13.460
Oh yes.
294
00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:14.340
That's a good point.
295
00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:14.840
Fuck you,
296
00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:14.960
mama.
297
00:10:15.020 --> 00:10:15.360
Two times.
298
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.320
I think swerve getting the EVP title would facilitate hang
299
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:18.820
man's return.
300
00:10:19.180 --> 00:10:20.160
I've had that same thought.
301
00:10:20.780 --> 00:10:21.640
I've had that same thought.
302
00:10:21.680 --> 00:10:23.220
They are intrinsically linked.
303
00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:25.160
Yes.
304
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:33.520
And there could be something down the road that makes swerve
305
00:10:33.520 --> 00:10:34.320
That's a good show.
306
00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:35.300
Yeah.
307
00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:35.960
Yeah.
308
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.440
Absolutely.
309
00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:37.920
And maybe it's,
310
00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:38.200
you know,
311
00:10:38.300 --> 00:10:41.380
swerve's the champion and he,
312
00:10:41.380 --> 00:10:42.000
he wants,
313
00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:42.680
you know,
314
00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:43.980
hang man to challenge him or something.
315
00:10:44.540 --> 00:10:44.780
Yeah.
316
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:45.240
Blurry line.
317
00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:47.520
I don't want to speculate too much on Tony when AW has
318
00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:47.980
been quiet.
319
00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:50.900
It's been for so many different reasons as Keith,
320
00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:52.160
Keith Lee,
321
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.060
Adam Cole,
322
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:53.660
Britt Baker.
323
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.460
I agree.
324
00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.760
And fuck your mama.
325
00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:56.140
Two times.
326
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.800
I think Tony being gone is only going to force Tony con to
327
00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:00.640
push more female talent.
328
00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:00.980
Chip,
329
00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:03.180
much like with hang man and we will get to Tony storm.
330
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:03.520
That's,
331
00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:04.020
you know,
332
00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:06.300
that's going to be a whole thing that we get into.
333
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:07.980
So in a babble,
334
00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:10.740
let me ask you and let me ask the chat who,
335
00:11:10.780 --> 00:11:14.000
who are the people that you can see stepping in?
336
00:11:14.040 --> 00:11:14.400
You know,
337
00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:17.260
MJF is going to be the primary focus of the company for
338
00:11:17.260 --> 00:11:17.700
a while.
339
00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:21.720
And I thought I didn't want that to be honest with you
340
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.020
because I thought they kind of overdid it with his first
341
00:11:24.020 --> 00:11:24.500
title reign.
342
00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:26.060
And I'm like,
343
00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:26.520
well,
344
00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:28.780
he won't be champion for 14 months again,
345
00:11:28.780 --> 00:11:29.380
you know?
346
00:11:29.380 --> 00:11:30.840
So I kind of looked at him,
347
00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:32.800
like maybe he might be a transitional champion,
348
00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:36.300
but I think MJF is going to be the guy carrying the
349
00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:37.320
company for a while.
350
00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:39.180
Who,
351
00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:42.340
who would you like to see get another look in the
352
00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:43.100
main event scene?
353
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:44.380
That's not there currently.
354
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:45.960
Um,
355
00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:47.640
obviously what we've got,
356
00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:48.480
we've got Swerve,
357
00:11:48.920 --> 00:11:49.280
Kenny,
358
00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:50.340
uh,
359
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.020
Will Ospreay is on the sort of cusp,
360
00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:52.920
but he's only just come back,
361
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.400
hasn't he?
362
00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:56.240
So I'd imagine Will Ospreay has got to be all in
363
00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:57.260
the big game,
364
00:11:57.260 --> 00:11:57.900
which is surely Wembley.
365
00:11:57.900 --> 00:11:58.100
Yeah.
366
00:11:58.160 --> 00:11:59.480
Has to be for the title there,
367
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.160
down the road,
368
00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:01.320
I would imagine.
369
00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:02.960
Um,
370
00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:04.260
on the cusp,
371
00:12:04.300 --> 00:12:05.140
on the cusp,
372
00:12:05.260 --> 00:12:05.840
Bandido,
373
00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:06.420
our boy,
374
00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:07.960
Bandido has got to get it at some point,
375
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:08.640
has to,
376
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:09.320
down the road.
377
00:12:09.540 --> 00:12:10.260
But it's such,
378
00:12:10.260 --> 00:12:12.080
it's such a crazy title picture really.
379
00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:12.460
If you,
380
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:13.920
if you step back and just look.
381
00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.360
So I'm not,
382
00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:17.080
I'm not sure.
383
00:12:17.260 --> 00:12:19.060
I can't put a name down to be honest,
384
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:20.840
especially the next champion.
385
00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:21.480
Cause like you said,
386
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.240
MJF is going to have it for a while now probably.
387
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:23.760
Yeah.
388
00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:24.340
Yeah.
389
00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:24.580
Well,
390
00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:26.100
Back in January, MJF said,
391
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.900
Bandita will be a world champion in AEW.
392
00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:33.780
And then on this single episode of Dynamite,
393
00:12:33.940 --> 00:12:35.460
you had Kenny and Swerve both talking about
394
00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:36.720
being the number one contender.
395
00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:39.680
You had Darby Allen calling out MJF.
396
00:12:40.020 --> 00:12:43.140
I mean, this is going all over the goddamn place.
397
00:12:43.300 --> 00:12:45.320
I mean, this guy is literally like fucking,
398
00:12:46.300 --> 00:12:48.520
just has everybody coming after him.
399
00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:50.720
Yeah, Swerve as EVP champion,
400
00:12:50.900 --> 00:12:52.680
reinstating Hangman as a title contender
401
00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:54.600
just so they can fight, kiss or whatever.
402
00:12:55.060 --> 00:12:57.700
Skewered, I know what you want there, pal.
403
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.140
That's for after dark, that's for after dark.
404
00:13:00.760 --> 00:13:02.280
Rhonda now just twiddling her thumbs,
405
00:13:02.280 --> 00:13:03.740
wondering what she's meant to do.
406
00:13:04.540 --> 00:13:08.820
You know, it all depends on the reason that,
407
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.760
I think Rhonda is there to promote her fight.
408
00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:13.740
I think that was always the purpose
409
00:13:14.620 --> 00:13:17.320
because literally the second she shows up on TV,
410
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:18.980
and I just saw this the other night,
411
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.040
Excalibur starts talking about the fight in May.
412
00:13:22.520 --> 00:13:24.700
That's the first thing he says, that's Rhonda Rousey.
413
00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:26.400
She's got to fight May, blah, blah, blah,
414
00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:27.280
versus blah, blah, blah.
415
00:13:27.560 --> 00:13:29.260
Yeah, yeah, let's get it out there, yeah.
416
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.680
Yeah, like that's clearly why she's there.
417
00:13:31.780 --> 00:13:33.460
Also, I think she hates TKO,
418
00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:35.360
and I think she hates WWE.
419
00:13:36.660 --> 00:13:39.720
Yeah, she hated Vince McMahon, you know.
420
00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:43.660
So, you know, not my friend or anything,
421
00:13:43.660 --> 00:13:46.120
but you know, she hates a lot of the right people.
422
00:13:46.540 --> 00:13:47.920
That's at least something.
423
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:49.940
Blurry Line 7, I was thinking about this a bit.
424
00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:51.380
I've actually imagined it being better
425
00:13:51.380 --> 00:13:54.300
if the MJF hangman stip was loser can never challenge again
426
00:13:54.300 --> 00:13:57.580
because there would have been more intrigue.
427
00:13:57.680 --> 00:13:59.320
Yeah, yeah, I suppose you're right.
428
00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:00.500
I suppose you're right.
429
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:02.680
Big ads, as soon as he's back,
430
00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:05.040
Jay White must be inserted into the title picture,
431
00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:08.000
especially if MJF is world champ still, totally agree.
432
00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:09.380
Totally agree.
433
00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:11.280
It's got to happen, has to happen.
434
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.840
Of all the people that have been out that I miss,
435
00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:16.640
it's Jay White for me.
436
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:17.060
Yeah.
437
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:18.300
I'm going to say something,
438
00:14:18.300 --> 00:14:19.840
and I've said it on this show before.
439
00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:23.860
You have Kenny Omega, right, and the Will Ospreay types,
440
00:14:24.040 --> 00:14:26.240
or even Swerve, you could put in that category
441
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.500
where they're strong, they're agile,
442
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:31.120
they can flip, they can fly,
443
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.240
they can lift anybody in the world.
444
00:14:33.260 --> 00:14:34.880
Bandito is another one like that.
445
00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:36.260
Super athletes, right?
446
00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:38.420
Hangman is also like that.
447
00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:40.620
That's my favorite style.
448
00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:45.820
But my second favorite style is embodied solely
449
00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:47.640
by one person, and that is Jay White,
450
00:14:47.640 --> 00:14:50.300
which is I'm going to do the thing
451
00:14:50.300 --> 00:14:52.200
that makes the absolute most sense
452
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:53.360
that you never see coming.
453
00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:56.180
I'm going to counter literally every fucking thing you do,
454
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.700
and I'm going to infuriate you until I beat you.
455
00:15:00.260 --> 00:15:02.940
He's the most relentlessly logical wrestler
456
00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:04.360
I've ever seen.
457
00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:05.880
Absolutely agree.
458
00:15:06.060 --> 00:15:08.000
The only thing I don't like about Jay White,
459
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:11.100
the one negative is when he has spit on the back
460
00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:12.340
of like the bottom of his mouth,
461
00:15:12.640 --> 00:15:14.020
when he's like run out of energy
462
00:15:14.020 --> 00:15:15.560
and he's just like so fatigued,
463
00:15:15.560 --> 00:15:17.700
it's like, yeah, not for the camera.
464
00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:20.180
I knew you were going to say that.
465
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:21.920
That's everybody's complaint about Jay.
466
00:15:22.560 --> 00:15:24.520
Jay, we can see your abs, bro.
467
00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:26.660
Drink some water before the match, okay?
468
00:15:26.880 --> 00:15:29.760
Because like I'm sure he's like dehydrating himself
469
00:15:29.760 --> 00:15:31.500
to get the abs to look that way.
470
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.360
So it looks ideal on camera,
471
00:15:35.380 --> 00:15:37.640
but Jay, like bro, you are an app.
472
00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:42.380
You are a giant abdomen, you know, like we see him.
473
00:15:42.380 --> 00:15:43.260
It's going to be okay.
474
00:15:43.260 --> 00:15:47.140
You don't need them to be that, you know, that visual.
475
00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:49.800
Look, we all know who's going to show up in dethrone.
476
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.120
MJF is champion and that's Luigi Primo.
477
00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:53.280
That's from Skewered Universe.
478
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.860
I don't, Skewered.
479
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.320
Is that the pizza flipping wrestler?
480
00:15:58.580 --> 00:15:59.740
Yeah, he's the weird pizza.
481
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.420
He's the pizza meme wrestler guy.
482
00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:04.880
Yeah, he was, you know, he was on dark
483
00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:07.420
and did actually on dynamite.
484
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:08.620
I think he wrestled like Jericho
485
00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:10.220
or something on dynamite at one point.
486
00:16:10.780 --> 00:16:12.280
Wow, seriously though, could you imagine
487
00:16:12.280 --> 00:16:16.560
if Bobby Lashley came like to the title picture
488
00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:20.040
or are you phrasing this suggestively
489
00:16:20.040 --> 00:16:22.300
so that I said, what I just said?
490
00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:28.840
Don't, don't, don't cancel us.
491
00:16:29.020 --> 00:16:31.580
Blurry line seven, Jay is a perfect challenger for MJF
492
00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:35.100
since he can out motherfucker MJF.
493
00:16:35.300 --> 00:16:36.060
Totally agree.
494
00:16:36.300 --> 00:16:38.580
Plus MJF has already gone over on him one time.
495
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.960
And I hated that match.
496
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.080
I just, the entire build I hated.
497
00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:47.540
It was, some of it was very unfortunate timing
498
00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:51.160
because some of the implications that were made
499
00:16:51.160 --> 00:16:52.960
in the buildup, juice with the quarters,
500
00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:54.280
which was like his stick.
501
00:16:54.820 --> 00:16:56.980
But Max had also told a very specific story about that.
502
00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:59.680
And that was right when everything busted out in Israel.
503
00:17:00.160 --> 00:17:03.220
That was just too many things converging.
504
00:17:03.380 --> 00:17:05.000
I was very glad they'd never went
505
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:06.480
another step further with that.
506
00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:08.740
But also the result was very telegraphed.
507
00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:11.060
And I was really done with MJF being the champion
508
00:17:11.060 --> 00:17:11.700
by that point.
509
00:17:11.800 --> 00:17:14.980
And when Jay lost, I was like, God damn it.
510
00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:18.740
Big add, spittle equals ratings.
511
00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:20.380
You know what?
512
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:21.619
You're not wrong.
513
00:17:22.060 --> 00:17:22.920
You're not wrong.
514
00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:25.680
Fuck your mama two times said
515
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:27.200
something I said to Josie G earlier.
516
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:29.040
Tekla is already stepping into that role like Tony.
517
00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:31.720
I think Athena can cook up a great feud with Tekla.
518
00:17:31.780 --> 00:17:32.940
Tekla has her triangle.
519
00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:34.360
Athena has her minions.
520
00:17:34.840 --> 00:17:35.940
Let them feud it out.
521
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.820
Josie's literal response to me was, it's time for Athena.
522
00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:42.220
And my response was,
523
00:17:42.340 --> 00:17:43.900
this is going to be a great year for Tekla.
524
00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:47.740
So we are super on the same page.
525
00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:49.220
Super on the same page.
526
00:17:49.860 --> 00:17:51.880
We've got to get the ring of honor
527
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.060
women's belt off of Athena soon, surely.
528
00:17:54.800 --> 00:17:55.720
It's going to be a marathon.
529
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:57.800
That's the thing.
530
00:17:57.860 --> 00:17:59.860
She's got to be full in on AEW soon.
531
00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:02.320
I mean, I've been saying this for two years now.
532
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:03.220
Like, come on.
533
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.160
Exactly. Yeah.
534
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.060
Like she's wrestled Billy Starks,
535
00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.420
who I think is clearly the person
536
00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:08.860
they want to give the belt to.
537
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:09.940
That's who they're pushing.
538
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:10.720
Yeah. Yeah.
539
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.760
They've wrestled in the main event of two different,
540
00:18:13.100 --> 00:18:16.220
like what would be pay-per-views and lost twice.
541
00:18:17.320 --> 00:18:18.700
I don't know what they're waiting for.
542
00:18:18.780 --> 00:18:20.520
I don't think Billy's really ready for that.
543
00:18:20.520 --> 00:18:22.800
And I think it's a lot to put on somebody that young,
544
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.420
especially Athena, who's so good.
545
00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:28.680
But like, my God, what about Persephone?
546
00:18:28.860 --> 00:18:30.780
That match they had at the last event
547
00:18:30.780 --> 00:18:32.440
was incredible at final battle.
548
00:18:33.320 --> 00:18:36.000
There's other people, Maya World for Christ's sake.
549
00:18:36.260 --> 00:18:39.100
Like give her a shot at it, you know?
550
00:18:39.260 --> 00:18:40.100
Fuck you mama two times.
551
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.160
I believe we've had this conversation before.
552
00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:44.560
Shuri is the perfect person to get it off Athena.
553
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:45.880
Look, I agree.
554
00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:47.540
I absolutely agree.
555
00:18:47.580 --> 00:18:50.700
They wrestled recently for the strong women's title
556
00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:52.240
and Shuri beat her.
557
00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:54.640
Not sure if TK would let her,
558
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.280
let a new Japan talent hold one of his titles.
559
00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:58.120
He should.
560
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:00.580
I think he should because everybody else
561
00:19:00.580 --> 00:19:02.260
his talent hold their titles.
562
00:19:02.800 --> 00:19:05.760
And I think it makes the title feel more interesting.
563
00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:07.900
Something that was always really cool
564
00:19:07.900 --> 00:19:09.220
about Ring of Honor,
565
00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:12.600
was they would bring in like Morishima
566
00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:14.560
when he was a full-time member of the roster,
567
00:19:14.600 --> 00:19:17.160
he won the ROH title, you know?
568
00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:19.980
Like there was always the possibility
569
00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:22.700
that Kenta could win the ROH title.
570
00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:24.460
There was a lot of stuff like that.
571
00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:26.120
They even fucking brought in Kenta Kobashi
572
00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:27.740
for a fucking match, Jesus.
573
00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:29.740
Player in line seven, I wouldn't mind
574
00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:32.080
if Ronda took it from Athena and kind of headed up ROH
575
00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:33.600
since it's a much lighter schedule
576
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:35.900
and a more sports-based presentation.
577
00:19:37.100 --> 00:19:38.800
I mean, I can see it.
578
00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.640
I can see it.
579
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.120
I think there would be a huge outcry.
580
00:19:41.260 --> 00:19:43.980
I'm not sure if it would help ROH.
581
00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:44.820
I'm not sure.
582
00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.220
Look, here's the thing.
583
00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:49.780
Ronda the person, I could care less.
584
00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:51.040
I just don't care.
585
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.500
But she does bring something of name value to AEW
586
00:19:56.500 --> 00:19:58.460
and that's why they're gonna do shit like this.
587
00:19:58.460 --> 00:20:00.540
Athletes bring baggage.
588
00:20:00.780 --> 00:20:01.660
They just do.
589
00:20:03.140 --> 00:20:06.200
Not absolutely all of them, but a lot of them.
590
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:09.660
Big ads, two fucking words, red fucking velvet.
591
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:12.520
That's three words, but thank you.
592
00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:14.720
I agree, I love red velvet.
593
00:20:15.100 --> 00:20:18.180
I think red velvet needs to be in AEW full-time.
594
00:20:18.780 --> 00:20:19.400
Holy shit.
595
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:19.720
She's great.
596
00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:21.300
Oh my God.
597
00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:23.460
She's one of the best athletes in that division
598
00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:24.820
in either group.
599
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.220
The thing is, since she's been in AEW, she's grown.
600
00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:30.720
She's grown as well over time, massively.
601
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.520
Yeah, and I've always been a fan of hers.
602
00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:36.720
Since I first saw her, I think it was in that match
603
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.320
with Cody versus Shaq and Jade Carkill.
604
00:20:40.820 --> 00:20:42.420
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
605
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:47.280
She always had this raw athleticism
606
00:20:47.280 --> 00:20:49.280
that was really evident.
607
00:20:49.780 --> 00:20:52.860
And she had to grow as an actual wrestler, a lot.
608
00:20:53.540 --> 00:20:56.520
But now that she's leaned into the boxing stuff,
609
00:20:56.520 --> 00:20:59.200
I mean, she's so legit and believable.
610
00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:02.360
Like, I'm a huge red velvet fan, huge.
611
00:21:03.320 --> 00:21:04.980
Big ads will accept Persephone.
612
00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:06.140
And you know what?
613
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:07.000
I accept you.
614
00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:08.080
Thank you, big ads.
615
00:21:09.300 --> 00:21:12.220
Persephone feels so ready for big shit right now.
616
00:21:12.360 --> 00:21:13.200
Like, this is crazy.
617
00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:15.140
Crazy, crazy, crazy.
618
00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:18.120
Okay, I will read more of the chat,
619
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:19.580
but God damn it, I have notes.
620
00:21:19.780 --> 00:21:21.300
We gotta fucking do the notes, guys.
621
00:21:21.780 --> 00:21:23.240
But keep the chats coming, I love them.
622
00:21:23.380 --> 00:21:25.360
Don't ever stop, don't ever stop.
623
00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:30.640
Okay, is Hangman really the main character of AEW
624
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.380
or is Skewer Universe correct in saying,
625
00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:36.660
Hangman, this was the end of the main character
626
00:21:36.660 --> 00:21:38.640
by him losing to MJF?
627
00:21:38.860 --> 00:21:42.960
Because while I do agree that he was the main character
628
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:46.380
and has been the first homemade main eventer
629
00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:52.010
who ever got over just massively, I'm not sure.
630
00:21:52.510 --> 00:21:53.830
If he's the main character,
631
00:21:53.830 --> 00:21:55.110
because I think there's somebody
632
00:21:55.110 --> 00:21:58.670
that has always been teasing, surpassing him.
633
00:21:59.030 --> 00:22:02.230
And really this match kind of made him
634
00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:04.410
the main characters, MJF.
635
00:22:05.210 --> 00:22:07.270
When you think about the two of them, right?
636
00:22:07.450 --> 00:22:10.170
Like Hangman had a super epic saga
637
00:22:10.170 --> 00:22:13.210
up to the feud, through the feud with Kenny, right?
638
00:22:13.510 --> 00:22:14.670
He got over massively.
639
00:22:15.530 --> 00:22:18.670
And then he was just kind of there as champ.
640
00:22:19.330 --> 00:22:21.070
He was outshone by CM Punk.
641
00:22:21.490 --> 00:22:24.950
Tony fanboyed out all over, you know,
642
00:22:24.950 --> 00:22:27.570
CM Punk, it was kind of embarrassing, honestly,
643
00:22:28.110 --> 00:22:30.230
because Tony was obviously so legit,
644
00:22:30.630 --> 00:22:32.370
thought CM Punk was way more important
645
00:22:32.370 --> 00:22:34.870
than these amazing talents that he had.
646
00:22:35.510 --> 00:22:36.010
And then, you know-
647
00:22:36.010 --> 00:22:36.790
That was a fun time.
648
00:22:37.310 --> 00:22:39.030
It was, it was, yeah.
649
00:22:39.690 --> 00:22:43.310
And then Punk and MJF hookup.
650
00:22:43.450 --> 00:22:44.810
And that's obviously the feud
651
00:22:44.810 --> 00:22:46.870
Tony really wants to book, right?
652
00:22:48.930 --> 00:22:51.770
And then Hangman drops the title to Punk
653
00:22:53.430 --> 00:22:54.770
and Punk is injured.
654
00:22:54.770 --> 00:22:56.530
Then he comes back, wins the title again.
655
00:22:57.670 --> 00:22:59.830
And what happened right before brawl out,
656
00:22:59.950 --> 00:23:03.130
MJF came back with the devil mask on and pointed at him.
657
00:23:03.190 --> 00:23:04.590
Like that's where they were going.
658
00:23:05.110 --> 00:23:07.630
The story was clearly MJF taking the belt off Punk.
659
00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:11.230
The other story was Hangman losing to Punk.
660
00:23:11.590 --> 00:23:12.330
You know what I mean?
661
00:23:13.810 --> 00:23:15.410
So MJF wins the title.
662
00:23:15.970 --> 00:23:18.310
He has this incredible Ironman match
663
00:23:18.310 --> 00:23:19.410
with Bryan Danielson.
664
00:23:19.630 --> 00:23:22.570
He has the dog collar match with Punk, you know,
665
00:23:22.570 --> 00:23:23.770
and then he has this match,
666
00:23:24.030 --> 00:23:25.770
which is right up there for one of the best
667
00:23:25.770 --> 00:23:28.150
Texas death matches I've ever seen.
668
00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:29.490
MJF is special.
669
00:23:29.750 --> 00:23:30.610
There's no doubt about it.
670
00:23:30.610 --> 00:23:32.510
But I think to Tony Khan, that's his boy.
671
00:23:33.350 --> 00:23:34.690
MJF is Tony Khan's guy.
672
00:23:36.810 --> 00:23:38.930
I think I have to agree with that, to be honest.
673
00:23:39.050 --> 00:23:40.290
The way it's, especially the way it's heading.
674
00:23:42.750 --> 00:23:44.510
Regardless of whether Hangman's on a break
675
00:23:44.510 --> 00:23:45.910
for however long.
676
00:23:46.310 --> 00:23:46.330
Right.
677
00:23:46.330 --> 00:23:48.470
Yeah, you can sort of see that with Tony Khan,
678
00:23:48.590 --> 00:23:49.830
with MJF to be fair, yeah.
679
00:23:50.110 --> 00:23:50.390
Yeah.
680
00:23:50.830 --> 00:23:52.970
And I think, you know, there's nothing wrong
681
00:23:52.970 --> 00:23:53.810
with that inherently.
682
00:23:53.970 --> 00:23:57.090
I mean, I think that MJF is obviously a worthy talent,
683
00:23:57.650 --> 00:23:59.270
but he has been put in a main,
684
00:23:59.410 --> 00:24:02.110
I mean, he has always been on the main event track
685
00:24:02.110 --> 00:24:03.650
even when he wasn't a main eventer.
686
00:24:04.230 --> 00:24:05.790
And you could always tell,
687
00:24:06.150 --> 00:24:07.530
you could always tell with Hangman too.
688
00:24:07.650 --> 00:24:09.470
I mean, I don't want to downplay,
689
00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:12.930
but if Hangman, I think Hangman was given some leash
690
00:24:12.930 --> 00:24:14.430
to get over this story with Kenny.
691
00:24:15.030 --> 00:24:16.070
And if it hadn't gotten over,
692
00:24:16.130 --> 00:24:17.470
they would have pulled back hard.
693
00:24:18.370 --> 00:24:20.730
MJF was like, no, you're the one.
694
00:24:21.350 --> 00:24:22.950
You're on the fast track.
695
00:24:23.650 --> 00:24:25.770
None of this is to disparage MJF.
696
00:24:26.590 --> 00:24:29.430
He was talented enough to justify it all.
697
00:24:29.990 --> 00:24:31.090
But I think in a lot of ways,
698
00:24:31.170 --> 00:24:34.170
MJF kind of is the main character of AEW.
699
00:24:36.050 --> 00:24:36.630
So what do you guys think?
700
00:24:37.050 --> 00:24:38.570
Am I way out of turn here?
701
00:24:39.070 --> 00:24:41.290
Am I wrong or am I right?
702
00:24:41.930 --> 00:24:43.770
Am I right or am I not wrong?
703
00:24:44.690 --> 00:24:46.510
Have you ever asked yourself that?
704
00:24:46.510 --> 00:24:47.650
Fuck you, mama, two times.
705
00:24:47.750 --> 00:24:49.930
Give Deanna another shot on the main show.
706
00:24:49.930 --> 00:24:51.470
She's been killing it in ROH.
707
00:24:52.450 --> 00:24:53.910
Yeah, I agree.
708
00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:55.930
And I don't blame her for being frustrated
709
00:24:55.930 --> 00:24:56.910
at how she's been used.
710
00:24:57.010 --> 00:24:59.450
I mean, her saying so publicly at a certain point,
711
00:24:59.950 --> 00:25:01.610
I think it's okay to be honest.
712
00:25:01.870 --> 00:25:06.670
And I think Deanna is a perfectly good pick
713
00:25:06.670 --> 00:25:08.050
for somebody who could advance.
714
00:25:08.590 --> 00:25:10.070
I'm not sure what's happened
715
00:25:10.070 --> 00:25:11.790
in the relationship with her and Tony Khan,
716
00:25:12.550 --> 00:25:14.990
but something has clearly changed
717
00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:16.470
because I think Tony had big plans
718
00:25:16.470 --> 00:25:18.690
for her when she first showed up.
719
00:25:19.150 --> 00:25:19.210
Yeah.
720
00:25:19.230 --> 00:25:20.490
You know, I really liked that thing
721
00:25:20.490 --> 00:25:22.110
she was doing with Taya as well.
722
00:25:22.710 --> 00:25:26.830
The tag team, the kind of mafia kind of gimmick.
723
00:25:27.090 --> 00:25:28.570
But that sort of peered away, didn't it?
724
00:25:28.610 --> 00:25:30.030
Yeah, yeah.
725
00:25:30.250 --> 00:25:30.630
Yeah.
726
00:25:31.030 --> 00:25:32.650
We've read Wedding Tang Man
727
00:25:32.650 --> 00:25:35.530
and now we gotta move on to focus on our Jon Snow.
728
00:25:36.630 --> 00:25:38.410
I don't know anything about Game of Thrones,
729
00:25:38.430 --> 00:25:39.550
but I know who Jon Snow is.
730
00:25:39.570 --> 00:25:40.610
So I agree.
731
00:25:40.730 --> 00:25:41.750
I'm just gonna say I agree.
732
00:25:42.430 --> 00:25:43.310
Yeah, yeah.
733
00:25:43.690 --> 00:25:44.870
I know what he's talking about.
734
00:25:45.290 --> 00:25:46.850
Skewer Universe, TK glazed Punk
735
00:25:46.850 --> 00:25:48.830
like he worked at Krispy Kreme Donuts.
736
00:25:51.530 --> 00:25:51.930
Wow.
737
00:25:52.150 --> 00:25:52.770
He really did.
738
00:25:52.910 --> 00:25:54.830
And Punk, and it still wasn't enough for the guy.
739
00:25:55.010 --> 00:25:55.790
You know what I mean?
740
00:25:56.090 --> 00:25:58.190
He was like, nope, that doesn't mean shit.
741
00:25:59.230 --> 00:25:59.950
Fuck your mama two times.
742
00:26:00.070 --> 00:26:01.210
I think like Tarantino movies,
743
00:26:01.250 --> 00:26:02.910
there's never really one main character,
744
00:26:02.950 --> 00:26:04.490
but a bunch of compelling characters
745
00:26:04.490 --> 00:26:06.350
you wanna see for good or bad.
746
00:26:07.070 --> 00:26:07.790
Fuck your mama two times.
747
00:26:07.830 --> 00:26:09.090
I think that's the actual answer.
748
00:26:09.170 --> 00:26:11.710
I think that's the correct answer is,
749
00:26:11.710 --> 00:26:18.390
in actuality, there was this time in 1988 in WWF
750
00:26:18.390 --> 00:26:20.750
where you had Macho Man and Hogan, right?
751
00:26:20.750 --> 00:26:22.090
They were on top together.
752
00:26:23.050 --> 00:26:25.070
And there was one that you always kind of knew
753
00:26:25.070 --> 00:26:26.150
was a little above the other,
754
00:26:26.150 --> 00:26:29.210
but like the fans could take their pick, right?
755
00:26:29.810 --> 00:26:30.910
Then in the late 90s,
756
00:26:30.910 --> 00:26:34.390
we got it again with Austin and The Rock, right?
757
00:26:34.550 --> 00:26:35.670
And there was still one
758
00:26:35.670 --> 00:26:36.830
that was a little over the other.
759
00:26:36.890 --> 00:26:38.650
I think Austin was a little over The Rock.
760
00:26:39.110 --> 00:26:41.150
The Rock's become a much bigger star.
761
00:26:41.150 --> 00:26:43.970
Since leaving, but in the wrestling world,
762
00:26:44.270 --> 00:26:46.350
at that time especially, Austin was a bigger star.
763
00:26:47.370 --> 00:26:51.470
But we had these two baby face top guys
764
00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:54.370
who could also turn heel whenever they needed to.
765
00:26:56.050 --> 00:26:59.650
Look at AEW, you got Swerve, you got Kenny Omega.
766
00:27:00.430 --> 00:27:01.830
You still have Hangman Page
767
00:27:01.830 --> 00:27:04.210
and that dude is not gonna be a mid Carter guys.
768
00:27:04.450 --> 00:27:06.930
Like they will keep Hangman interesting
769
00:27:06.930 --> 00:27:08.150
no matter what it is.
770
00:27:08.190 --> 00:27:10.390
There's no way he agreed to do all this
771
00:27:10.390 --> 00:27:12.050
without knowing where it's going, okay?
772
00:27:12.050 --> 00:27:15.770
He's gonna be away for a while, maybe six months, who knows?
773
00:27:16.450 --> 00:27:19.910
And then he's going to re-emerge maybe after All In.
774
00:27:20.890 --> 00:27:22.490
And God only knows what he's gonna do.
775
00:27:22.510 --> 00:27:23.330
Is he gonna turn heel?
776
00:27:23.970 --> 00:27:27.130
Is he gonna go back on his word?
777
00:27:28.430 --> 00:27:30.510
Is Swerve, just like was brought up earlier,
778
00:27:30.590 --> 00:27:33.170
is Swerve gonna deactivate that whole provision?
779
00:27:33.790 --> 00:27:34.650
Who fucking knows?
780
00:27:36.050 --> 00:27:38.210
If Hangman does come back,
781
00:27:38.210 --> 00:27:40.710
let's say all in sort of time, comes back as heel,
782
00:27:40.710 --> 00:27:43.290
he has to come back with the old theme tune.
783
00:27:45.330 --> 00:27:48.010
That's my main thing for that.
784
00:27:49.670 --> 00:27:51.390
When he was, when he turned heel,
785
00:27:51.470 --> 00:27:52.830
proper last time around.
786
00:27:53.010 --> 00:27:53.690
And I love that song.
787
00:27:53.690 --> 00:27:55.410
Was it Hangman's hat or something?
788
00:27:55.550 --> 00:27:56.310
Something like that.
789
00:27:56.630 --> 00:27:59.370
The, yeah, the dark hat or something like that.
790
00:27:59.470 --> 00:27:59.930
Yeah.
791
00:28:00.970 --> 00:28:02.830
I legit have that as my ringtone for a while.
792
00:28:02.930 --> 00:28:05.530
Oh my God, what a great entry song.
793
00:28:06.350 --> 00:28:09.950
It's miles better than his baby face tune, but it's...
794
00:28:10.450 --> 00:28:12.890
I mean, I'm just talking about as far as music quality,
795
00:28:13.010 --> 00:28:14.870
it's a much better song in my opinion,
796
00:28:14.870 --> 00:28:16.870
and it seems more custom-made for him.
797
00:28:18.190 --> 00:28:21.830
But I also had my doubts about them giving him
798
00:28:21.830 --> 00:28:23.070
his OG music back.
799
00:28:23.130 --> 00:28:25.070
And when they did, it was like, no, this makes sense.
800
00:28:25.670 --> 00:28:26.310
This makes sense.
801
00:28:26.330 --> 00:28:27.870
Yeah, it works when it happened, yeah.
802
00:28:28.590 --> 00:28:29.530
The Scare Glow,
803
00:28:29.770 --> 00:28:31.710
Hangman outshined punk by miles
804
00:28:31.710 --> 00:28:34.010
from then on cracks and punk's game can't be unseen.
805
00:28:34.470 --> 00:28:35.210
Totally true.
806
00:28:35.790 --> 00:28:38.030
I mean, it's so crazy,
807
00:28:38.030 --> 00:28:42.190
because punk put so much shit out there
808
00:28:42.190 --> 00:28:44.730
about what happened and everything.
809
00:28:45.770 --> 00:28:48.090
Him trying to do the buckshot several times
810
00:28:48.090 --> 00:28:49.190
and just failing.
811
00:28:49.310 --> 00:28:49.950
I was about to say.
812
00:28:51.150 --> 00:28:54.330
Like some careers would be over for some shit like that.
813
00:28:54.470 --> 00:28:54.930
You know what I mean?
814
00:28:54.930 --> 00:28:56.170
It's like, dude, give up.
815
00:28:56.350 --> 00:28:56.970
Like, stop.
816
00:28:58.330 --> 00:28:59.550
That time was when I thought,
817
00:28:59.730 --> 00:29:01.530
Phil, it's time to just end it, mate.
818
00:29:01.650 --> 00:29:03.130
Or just go back to, you know,
819
00:29:03.250 --> 00:29:05.390
WW and do some sports entertainment or whatever,
820
00:29:06.370 --> 00:29:07.390
and lo and behold, he did.
821
00:29:07.390 --> 00:29:08.810
So, yeah.
822
00:29:09.030 --> 00:29:09.170
Yeah.
823
00:29:09.330 --> 00:29:11.290
It's an anthology film that has a common thread
824
00:29:11.290 --> 00:29:12.310
running through all the stories,
825
00:29:12.310 --> 00:29:13.650
in this case, the AW title,
826
00:29:13.650 --> 00:29:15.570
and we are going to follow other main characters
827
00:29:15.570 --> 00:29:16.410
of that story.
828
00:29:16.910 --> 00:29:17.830
Agreed, Skewered.
829
00:29:18.030 --> 00:29:18.430
Agreed.
830
00:29:18.450 --> 00:29:19.090
Well put.
831
00:29:19.330 --> 00:29:19.870
Well put.
832
00:29:20.330 --> 00:29:21.130
Always never, hey,
833
00:29:21.130 --> 00:29:23.010
I got a shout for you coming up a little later
834
00:29:23.010 --> 00:29:24.050
in this show, my friend,
835
00:29:24.070 --> 00:29:25.090
because you made a point.
836
00:29:25.550 --> 00:29:27.910
You've made a point several times to me
837
00:29:27.910 --> 00:29:29.950
when I was bitching about a very particular thing.
838
00:29:30.110 --> 00:29:32.430
And you were 100% right, and it was proven this week.
839
00:29:33.230 --> 00:29:35.250
You said, but always never saying right now,
840
00:29:35.250 --> 00:29:37.250
I was beyond pissed that the Vendetta didn't get over.
841
00:29:37.250 --> 00:29:38.090
Me too.
842
00:29:38.970 --> 00:29:40.910
It's not like Deanna didn't have a character.
843
00:29:40.970 --> 00:29:42.970
They had a whole thing and it was getting better.
844
00:29:43.030 --> 00:29:44.910
Their promos were getting better and better and better.
845
00:29:45.810 --> 00:29:47.750
Did they ever wrestle as a tag team?
846
00:29:50.290 --> 00:29:51.890
I don't think they did, did they?
847
00:29:51.990 --> 00:29:52.310
No.
848
00:29:52.390 --> 00:29:53.150
Not that I can remember.
849
00:29:53.790 --> 00:29:54.090
No.
850
00:29:54.810 --> 00:29:55.950
But they were a thing.
851
00:29:56.010 --> 00:29:57.170
They were a group, weren't they?
852
00:29:57.170 --> 00:29:58.570
Like a stable, but yeah.
853
00:29:58.570 --> 00:29:58.750
Kind of.
854
00:29:58.850 --> 00:30:00.810
They didn't officially go as a tag team?
855
00:30:01.150 --> 00:30:01.490
No, not that I can recall.
856
00:30:01.490 --> 00:30:03.190
Well, because there was no tag division at the time,
857
00:30:03.190 --> 00:30:04.970
but I thought that was signaling
858
00:30:05.430 --> 00:30:06.490
the beginning of one, man.
859
00:30:06.490 --> 00:30:08.890
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
860
00:30:09.150 --> 00:30:11.130
Scare Glow, MJF might be Tony's Raven.
861
00:30:11.270 --> 00:30:14.110
I think you're hitting the sweet spot right there.
862
00:30:14.450 --> 00:30:16.810
Because it is no secret that Paul Heyman
863
00:30:16.810 --> 00:30:18.110
loved him some Raven.
864
00:30:18.190 --> 00:30:19.830
And you know who else loves him some Raven?
865
00:30:20.110 --> 00:30:20.570
Me.
866
00:30:20.890 --> 00:30:21.530
Raven ruled.
867
00:30:21.870 --> 00:30:22.570
He was amazing.
868
00:30:23.470 --> 00:30:24.910
Yeah, and then the Vendetta broke up
869
00:30:24.910 --> 00:30:27.370
before the tag division even showed up.
870
00:30:28.330 --> 00:30:30.010
So way before it even showed up.
871
00:30:30.450 --> 00:30:35.730
So I think that we all are on somewhat similar pages
872
00:30:36.250 --> 00:30:38.930
and you know, going back to MJF here,
873
00:30:38.970 --> 00:30:40.550
you know, he had the punk feud.
874
00:30:40.870 --> 00:30:42.970
He had the bro chachos thing with Adam Cole.
875
00:30:43.430 --> 00:30:46.590
They main evented in front of 78,000 people
876
00:30:46.590 --> 00:30:50.070
who actually showed up to Wembley, right?
877
00:30:50.490 --> 00:30:51.650
He had that Osprey feud.
878
00:30:51.770 --> 00:30:52.670
He had the devil story.
879
00:30:52.670 --> 00:30:55.370
He's always been featured and largely protected.
880
00:30:55.610 --> 00:30:57.570
And by that, I don't mean that he never loses.
881
00:30:57.630 --> 00:30:58.170
He does.
882
00:30:58.230 --> 00:31:00.290
He's a pretty unselfish guy, really.
883
00:31:00.810 --> 00:31:02.190
It's just that he's always booked
884
00:31:02.190 --> 00:31:04.570
in a main event program at a main event level.
885
00:31:05.150 --> 00:31:09.030
In 2024 and 2025, MJF was distinctly a part-timer
886
00:31:09.030 --> 00:31:10.690
and he was kind of booked like it.
887
00:31:10.790 --> 00:31:11.850
He did a lot of jobs.
888
00:31:12.150 --> 00:31:13.890
His head didn't seem completely invested
889
00:31:13.890 --> 00:31:15.610
in wrestling in my opinion.
890
00:31:16.090 --> 00:31:18.890
And it wasn't, he was getting roles in Hollywood
891
00:31:18.890 --> 00:31:20.290
and going and making a bunch of money
892
00:31:20.290 --> 00:31:22.210
and raising his profile even more.
893
00:31:22.830 --> 00:31:24.690
And so when he came back,
894
00:31:25.090 --> 00:31:27.290
now it feels like MJF's truly back.
895
00:31:27.570 --> 00:31:28.370
You know what I mean?
896
00:31:28.890 --> 00:31:30.690
And he's ready to dominate AEW
897
00:31:30.690 --> 00:31:32.510
for as long as they need him to.
898
00:31:33.250 --> 00:31:34.210
Main character or not,
899
00:31:34.210 --> 00:31:37.230
he's one of the main faces of AEW, one way or the other.
900
00:31:37.510 --> 00:31:41.450
And him as champion being chased by Omega Swerve,
901
00:31:41.730 --> 00:31:44.730
Osprey, Bandito, Brody, Jay White,
902
00:31:45.010 --> 00:31:45.990
God only knows who else.
903
00:31:46.070 --> 00:31:47.390
It does feel kind of perfect.
904
00:31:47.430 --> 00:31:48.690
Maybe Kevin Knight someday.
905
00:31:49.390 --> 00:31:50.070
Pretty incredible.
906
00:31:52.410 --> 00:31:54.730
Well, hip hop is quite a festivity.
907
00:31:54.910 --> 00:31:56.230
So I'm gonna hit some music.
908
00:31:57.470 --> 00:31:58.570
And when we come back,
909
00:31:58.970 --> 00:32:01.070
and if you're, this is the thing.
910
00:32:01.090 --> 00:32:03.750
If you tune in on Fridays at the time I tell you,
911
00:32:03.750 --> 00:32:06.030
which is 3 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Eastern,
912
00:32:06.090 --> 00:32:10.410
I sing the music for the people that I'm gonna play
913
00:32:10.910 --> 00:32:13.730
because I can't hear it the way you listeners do.
914
00:32:14.450 --> 00:32:16.390
So it's a good reason to tune in.
915
00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:32.580
Pyrus Wrestling.
916
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:34.540
Hey guys, I think the story of Tony is two things.
917
00:32:34.620 --> 00:32:35.440
One, Tony is pregnant,
918
00:32:35.520 --> 00:32:39.860
or two, AEW is recreating the Steve Austin 99 2000
919
00:32:39.860 --> 00:32:42.640
storyline and says, new here, welcome.
920
00:32:43.080 --> 00:32:44.060
Happy to have you.
921
00:32:44.860 --> 00:32:46.300
That could be, that could be.
922
00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:47.620
I think one way or the other,
923
00:32:47.620 --> 00:32:50.400
Tony's like either got a really horrible injury
924
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.280
or life circumstances change somehow
925
00:32:53.280 --> 00:32:56.440
that will necessitate her being gone for quite a while.
926
00:32:57.020 --> 00:32:59.560
Either way, yeah, they've got to make something of this.
927
00:32:59.620 --> 00:33:03.580
And that's why the thumbnail is of her being devastated
928
00:33:03.580 --> 00:33:04.360
in the locker room,
929
00:33:04.360 --> 00:33:06.360
because I love a good murder mystery,
930
00:33:06.360 --> 00:33:07.240
as I said earlier.
931
00:33:08.140 --> 00:33:09.140
We're gonna get to that.
932
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:11.600
But the first thing we're gonna get to is Will Ospreay.
933
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:13.160
He is fucking back.
934
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:15.720
All right, he showed up at Revolution.
935
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:18.180
He did a bunch of crazy shit to the Death Riders.
936
00:33:18.280 --> 00:33:20.620
Then he revealed he's been cleared for weeks.
937
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.020
On Dynamite, he took on Blake Christensen,
938
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.900
or Blake Christian,
939
00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:27.580
who is the perfect return rival for Will,
940
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:29.700
because one, Christian's a really safe worker,
941
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.420
who will also sell his fucking ass off.
942
00:33:32.780 --> 00:33:34.760
And by and large, Ospreay looked fantastic
943
00:33:34.760 --> 00:33:37.300
for a guy who hadn't wrestled for six months or so.
944
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.080
He also, I did notice he didn't sell as recklessly
945
00:33:41.080 --> 00:33:43.360
as he usually does.
946
00:33:43.800 --> 00:33:45.400
He did a cutter on him at one point,
947
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.000
and Ospreay kind of landed on his knees
948
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:49.640
instead of like actually on his face,
949
00:33:50.700 --> 00:33:52.740
which probably wise to start doing
950
00:33:52.740 --> 00:33:53.780
at this point in his life.
951
00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:55.720
We don't need him missing more time.
952
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:57.820
I wanna see the prime of Will Ospreay's career,
953
00:33:57.860 --> 00:33:59.440
which I still believe is in front of him.
954
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.600
And he will need to modify his style a bit,
955
00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:04.160
but so far it's been pretty minor.
956
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:06.940
He dominated, he destroyed Blake Christian
957
00:34:06.940 --> 00:34:09.020
for the most part, and the hidden blades he hit
958
00:34:09.020 --> 00:34:10.860
looked amazing and brutal as fuck.
959
00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:13.040
Your thoughts in it, Bap?
960
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:15.860
Good to see Brough back, obviously.
961
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:18.639
Fellow Englander, or UK.
962
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.580
Yeah, good to see him in a nice sort of match
963
00:34:22.580 --> 00:34:24.100
against Blake Christian.
964
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:26.500
Like you said, he's the perfect sort of wrestler
965
00:34:27.780 --> 00:34:30.600
to have that sort of quick comeback match,
966
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:33.699
see how the cobwebs are in terms of like
967
00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:35.760
wrestling rust and all that sort of thing.
968
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:39.940
But I just hope that he does turn it down
969
00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:40.960
a little bit, to be honest,
970
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.340
because he is ridiculously full on 100%.
971
00:34:44.340 --> 00:34:46.420
Let's go, let's flip, whatever.
972
00:34:47.120 --> 00:34:48.780
But yeah, he's gotta think about his body,
973
00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.020
to be fair, absolutely.
974
00:34:50.020 --> 00:34:51.360
He does, he does.
975
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:53.440
And he's gotta think about the rest of his career
976
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:55.199
and how much longer he wants to do this.
977
00:34:56.699 --> 00:34:57.880
That's the simple choice.
978
00:34:57.900 --> 00:35:00.900
You look at Kenny Omega, who I think Will Ospreay
979
00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:03.160
is probably the most similar guy to Kenny Omega
980
00:35:03.160 --> 00:35:04.560
as far as the style.
981
00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:09.660
And Kenny's peak was like two years,
982
00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:12.880
because it's such a physical style
983
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:15.420
that you literally cannot continue to do it
984
00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:19.100
the way he was doing it for very long.
985
00:35:19.660 --> 00:35:21.940
And it's not like Kenny's bad by any stretch,
986
00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:24.720
but his athletic prime was short
987
00:35:24.720 --> 00:35:26.700
because what he was doing was so demanding.
988
00:35:26.860 --> 00:35:29.380
And I think the same will probably be true for Will,
989
00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:31.640
but Will has time to slow down unlike Kenny,
990
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:34.180
who that motherfucker will be lucky
991
00:35:34.180 --> 00:35:36.360
if he can walk in 15 years.
992
00:35:36.600 --> 00:35:38.600
I'm not saying he won't.
993
00:35:38.600 --> 00:35:40.440
I just, Jesus Christ, Kenny.
994
00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:43.040
So BlairLine7 says, this is completely random,
995
00:35:43.080 --> 00:35:45.240
but I want to cast an AW Twisted Metal game.
996
00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:47.680
I mean, yeah, for sure.
997
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.140
Like you're the first person to have that thought.
998
00:35:51.420 --> 00:35:52.680
You know what I mean?
999
00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:55.260
Hangman gets a horse or an EV with steer horns.
1000
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:56.760
Yes, yes.
1001
00:35:59.600 --> 00:36:01.480
BlairLine7, how's Ospreay's style change
1002
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:02.160
working for him?
1003
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:04.280
I mean, yeah, point taken.
1004
00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:06.200
There isn't much of one so far.
1005
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:09.020
Fuck you, mama, two times.
1006
00:36:09.100 --> 00:36:10.200
I think you could really make a thing
1007
00:36:10.200 --> 00:36:11.420
about the Tony murder mystery.
1008
00:36:11.660 --> 00:36:12.860
And I think they're going to.
1009
00:36:13.020 --> 00:36:13.840
I think they're going to.
1010
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.580
I think that that's gonna be a big part
1011
00:36:16.580 --> 00:36:19.660
of where this goes from here is who did it?
1012
00:36:19.660 --> 00:36:20.800
It's a whodunit.
1013
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:22.100
And just like Clue,
1014
00:36:22.120 --> 00:36:24.640
they had all the little possible weapons
1015
00:36:24.640 --> 00:36:25.820
laying around her.
1016
00:36:26.220 --> 00:36:27.240
I loved it.
1017
00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:32.380
If this was planned in like two days, genius, genius.
1018
00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:34.320
Whoever thought of this, real smart.
1019
00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:37.780
Was just going back to Tony Storm, actually,
1020
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:39.300
when she became Timeless Tony,
1021
00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:41.620
and you remember the old vignettes they used to do.
1022
00:36:41.620 --> 00:36:44.240
I think, was it RJC who was like the producer
1023
00:36:44.240 --> 00:36:46.020
or he planned the whole thing?
1024
00:36:46.120 --> 00:36:48.900
If they can do some sort of videos like that,
1025
00:36:49.020 --> 00:36:50.580
but like you said, there's a murder mystery,
1026
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.680
that'd be awesome.
1027
00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:55.760
It's like a wrestling real life version of Clue.
1028
00:36:55.860 --> 00:36:57.240
And I am so here for it.
1029
00:36:57.460 --> 00:36:58.880
Like just amazing shit.
1030
00:36:59.100 --> 00:37:01.320
And she's the perfect person to do it with.
1031
00:37:01.500 --> 00:37:02.760
I don't think it would work the same
1032
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:03.640
with anybody else.
1033
00:37:05.720 --> 00:37:08.680
Pyrrhus Wrestling and the woman that attacked Tony
1034
00:37:08.680 --> 00:37:10.320
is Willow Nightingale in the Rikishi role,
1035
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:12.580
but the true mastermind in the Triple H role
1036
00:37:12.580 --> 00:37:13.800
is Mina Shirakawa.
1037
00:37:15.220 --> 00:37:17.140
I'm not sure they would ever do that to Willow,
1038
00:37:17.260 --> 00:37:20.340
but you're not the first person I've heard suggest
1039
00:37:20.340 --> 00:37:22.720
Mina might have had something to do with this.
1040
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.480
And I can see it honestly,
1041
00:37:26.020 --> 00:37:28.840
but how huge would that be for Mina if it was true?
1042
00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:30.740
How huge would that be?
1043
00:37:31.340 --> 00:37:32.640
Luther's just sitting there stammering
1044
00:37:32.640 --> 00:37:35.680
like a fucking like shell shocked, you know?
1045
00:37:36.580 --> 00:37:39.640
Like, but Mina is like, oh, Tony, I will avenge you.
1046
00:37:39.700 --> 00:37:41.040
And then she does kind of,
1047
00:37:41.660 --> 00:37:43.820
but Larry Line reporting the unfortunate news
1048
00:37:43.820 --> 00:37:45.820
that this idea probably came from RJ City
1049
00:37:45.820 --> 00:37:47.620
and we have to praise him again.
1050
00:37:48.200 --> 00:37:48.640
Fuck.
1051
00:37:50.600 --> 00:37:51.600
Yeah. Good job, RJ.
1052
00:37:52.780 --> 00:37:53.060
Fine.
1053
00:37:53.580 --> 00:37:54.320
Well done.
1054
00:37:54.560 --> 00:37:55.280
Slow clap.
1055
00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:55.960
Yep.
1056
00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:58.280
RJ City needs to be involved somehow
1057
00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:59.440
in this Tony storyline.
1058
00:38:01.100 --> 00:38:02.100
I think he is.
1059
00:38:02.100 --> 00:38:03.840
I think he's all over this Tony storyline,
1060
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:06.020
but you're talking about on screen, I assume.
1061
00:38:07.200 --> 00:38:09.800
And how fun would it be if RJ was the detective
1062
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:11.320
trying to figure out who did it?
1063
00:38:11.560 --> 00:38:12.680
Oh, please.
1064
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:14.600
Yeah. Sherlock Holmes, like Cap and everything.
1065
00:38:14.700 --> 00:38:15.300
Yes, please.
1066
00:38:15.600 --> 00:38:17.800
That would be, that I would,
1067
00:38:18.680 --> 00:38:20.620
Tony can't take this idea, okay?
1068
00:38:20.620 --> 00:38:21.260
I don't care.
1069
00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:22.700
Like just take it.
1070
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:23.480
Do that.
1071
00:38:23.640 --> 00:38:24.760
Make RJ the detective
1072
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:27.040
because I want to see that on my screen.
1073
00:38:27.260 --> 00:38:29.620
I need to see vignettes of Tony as a ghost detective
1074
00:38:29.620 --> 00:38:31.540
trying to solve her own murder.
1075
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:34.980
Oh my God, that would be the best.
1076
00:38:36.020 --> 00:38:37.580
That would be perfect for her
1077
00:38:37.580 --> 00:38:39.120
to do something like that as well.
1078
00:38:39.300 --> 00:38:40.500
Yeah. Yeah.
1079
00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:41.380
Oh my God.
1080
00:38:41.380 --> 00:38:42.660
Solve her own murder.
1081
00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:44.700
Yes. Fuck your mama two times.
1082
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:47.400
The Tony murder mystery felt very David Lynch,
1083
00:38:47.900 --> 00:38:49.100
the way everything was laid out.
1084
00:38:49.260 --> 00:38:50.540
Look, I love Twin Peaks.
1085
00:38:50.600 --> 00:38:53.000
It is my all time favorite television show
1086
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:54.100
that's ever happened.
1087
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:57.300
And I doubt that anything will even come close to it.
1088
00:38:57.520 --> 00:39:00.460
And it's funny because like at least half of it is bad,
1089
00:39:00.980 --> 00:39:03.920
but the good is so good that I just overlooked the bad,
1090
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:08.880
but it did kind of have this weird peaksian vibe to it
1091
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:10.240
that I really, really liked.
1092
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:12.940
Let's finish talking about Will here
1093
00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:14.440
and then we'll jump into more Tony stuff
1094
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:17.240
because that's what the center of this episode really.
1095
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:19.420
Yeah. Will dominates and destroys Blake Christian.
1096
00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:22.500
He called out Moxley who was wrestling in the next match.
1097
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.140
Ospreay immediately just beats the shit
1098
00:39:25.140 --> 00:39:26.260
out of Yuta and Mox.
1099
00:39:26.740 --> 00:39:28.560
He looked crazy intense doing this.
1100
00:39:28.560 --> 00:39:30.660
I thought he was really hitting these guys.
1101
00:39:31.340 --> 00:39:33.100
Pack came out and attacked Will
1102
00:39:33.100 --> 00:39:35.000
who security was trying to drag to the back.
1103
00:39:35.180 --> 00:39:36.520
They're obviously gonna fight.
1104
00:39:37.060 --> 00:39:38.800
Does Will need to go through all the death writers
1105
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:40.040
before he can get to Mox?
1106
00:39:40.540 --> 00:39:43.000
And I literally, I have this in my notes.
1107
00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:45.140
Shout out to my guy always never
1108
00:39:45.140 --> 00:39:47.060
who's been telling me for months
1109
00:39:47.060 --> 00:39:49.040
that Mox didn't turn baby face.
1110
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:51.500
He just started targeting other people
1111
00:39:51.500 --> 00:39:54.260
he used to claim to respect who happened to be heels.
1112
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:59.120
I've been saying, I don't want, you know
1113
00:39:59.120 --> 00:40:01.500
another big Mox face turn, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1114
00:40:01.580 --> 00:40:04.260
And thinking in that binary and I was wrong.
1115
00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:06.480
Okay. I think you're totally right.
1116
00:40:06.720 --> 00:40:09.160
I think that Mox is not really a baby face.
1117
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.820
He's just been kind of allowed to sneak through
1118
00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:14.920
as one and get into it with the crowd and stuff.
1119
00:40:15.240 --> 00:40:17.940
But it's nice to know that there is some penance
1120
00:40:17.940 --> 00:40:20.060
for this character to pay because I mean
1121
00:40:20.060 --> 00:40:21.900
he was literally putting fucking bags
1122
00:40:21.900 --> 00:40:23.780
around people's heads and trying to murder them.
1123
00:40:23.780 --> 00:40:25.800
Right in front of the whole world.
1124
00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:27.960
All the death writers have a price to pay.
1125
00:40:28.460 --> 00:40:31.060
So I just wanted to give always never a big shout out.
1126
00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:32.740
Yeah. Mox looks shaken up.
1127
00:40:32.740 --> 00:40:34.540
And if he's ever going to turn baby face
1128
00:40:34.540 --> 00:40:37.220
he like a like true baby face
1129
00:40:37.220 --> 00:40:38.900
he definitely needs to atone.
1130
00:40:39.180 --> 00:40:41.780
And these guys are nowhere near that yet.
1131
00:40:43.240 --> 00:40:43.720
Yes.
1132
00:40:44.140 --> 00:40:46.040
Player line echoing my sentiments here.
1133
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:49.040
I said it first Mox has not atoned yet.
1134
00:40:49.380 --> 00:40:50.060
So true.
1135
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:51.300
So true.
1136
00:40:51.940 --> 00:40:53.660
Okay. So we're here.
1137
00:40:53.900 --> 00:40:55.640
It's time to talk about Tony Storm being murdered
1138
00:40:55.640 --> 00:40:58.180
and more we're going to talk about it more.
1139
00:40:59.040 --> 00:41:02.040
It was stated that she could not be cleared for action
1140
00:41:02.040 --> 00:41:02.940
due to an attack.
1141
00:41:02.940 --> 00:41:04.940
She suffered at the hands of an unknown assailant.
1142
00:41:06.340 --> 00:41:10.780
Apparently that was aired on social media before the show
1143
00:41:10.780 --> 00:41:12.460
but they put it on the show as well.
1144
00:41:12.780 --> 00:41:14.220
I was also told that the people
1145
00:41:14.220 --> 00:41:16.900
in attendance did not see it.
1146
00:41:17.340 --> 00:41:18.000
So Mina came out.
1147
00:41:18.020 --> 00:41:20.440
They had no idea why she's injured.
1148
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:24.860
I don't want to speculate too much, but something it's
1149
00:41:24.860 --> 00:41:25.880
and then whatever it is
1150
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:27.980
it's going to take a real long time to recover from.
1151
00:41:29.160 --> 00:41:31.540
And so Renee is in the back.
1152
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:34.080
She's trying to get the inside scoop.
1153
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:36.880
Luther's at the door with it closed
1154
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.680
just like stammering kind of crying.
1155
00:41:39.560 --> 00:41:40.780
And then they open the door
1156
00:41:40.780 --> 00:41:42.800
and Mina's in there over her body.
1157
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.500
Tony's got like an insane amount of blood
1158
00:41:45.500 --> 00:41:47.260
that's definitely not real blood coming
1159
00:41:47.260 --> 00:41:48.520
out of the back of her head.
1160
00:41:49.340 --> 00:41:51.160
That was a ton of blood.
1161
00:41:52.080 --> 00:41:54.960
So they're like, she's not coming back for a while.
1162
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:57.700
Like I think that was the point, you know
1163
00:41:57.700 --> 00:41:59.680
she sustained a massive head injury
1164
00:42:00.200 --> 00:42:01.980
which with a character like Tony storm
1165
00:42:01.980 --> 00:42:04.280
could end up resulting in so many different things.
1166
00:42:04.540 --> 00:42:06.980
Tony with a head injury, but I love
1167
00:42:06.980 --> 00:42:08.360
I just love a good mystery
1168
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:10.940
and wrestling can allow for these great mysteries.
1169
00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:13.940
There were lots of clues in the picture that I used
1170
00:42:13.940 --> 00:42:17.140
as the thumbnail for this, for this little chat.
1171
00:42:18.020 --> 00:42:23.460
Penelope's Harley Quinn hammer is in the shot.
1172
00:42:23.900 --> 00:42:27.280
There's a bloody shoe, those, the bouquet.
1173
00:42:28.420 --> 00:42:29.880
There's a whole ton of questions.
1174
00:42:31.200 --> 00:42:33.080
So my question to y'all is like
1175
00:42:33.080 --> 00:42:34.920
if we were to guess right now, who do you think it is?
1176
00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:35.440
Is it Marina?
1177
00:42:36.040 --> 00:42:37.040
Is it Ronda Rousey?
1178
00:42:37.200 --> 00:42:37.820
Is it Mina?
1179
00:42:38.680 --> 00:42:39.320
Somebody else?
1180
00:42:39.640 --> 00:42:42.880
It's a fun way to write somebody off, but I, you know
1181
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:44.840
we're all probably going to be wrong, but
1182
00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:45.640
there's a murder mystery.
1183
00:42:45.640 --> 00:42:47.800
Come on, let's recklessly speculate.
1184
00:42:48.140 --> 00:42:49.920
You know, fuck your mom, but two times
1185
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:52.100
I heard killer Kelly might be involved with this.
1186
00:42:52.560 --> 00:42:52.860
Interesting.
1187
00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:54.320
Okay, okay.
1188
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:56.100
Hadn't thought of that.
1189
00:42:56.580 --> 00:42:58.540
Japanese death match wrestling legend, Luther
1190
00:42:58.540 --> 00:43:01.040
did look like he had never seen blood before.
1191
00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:05.120
He did.
1192
00:43:06.220 --> 00:43:09.220
Also, we can now forget that Mina was extremely jealous
1193
00:43:09.220 --> 00:43:12.120
and possessive of Tony when she was receiving flowers.
1194
00:43:12.160 --> 00:43:14.640
She did not like orange getting close at all.
1195
00:43:14.640 --> 00:43:16.720
She was calling Tony her husband.
1196
00:43:18.900 --> 00:43:20.080
That's a very good show though.
1197
00:43:20.460 --> 00:43:20.900
Yeah.
1198
00:43:21.120 --> 00:43:25.240
So how big would that be for Mina if it was her?
1199
00:43:25.860 --> 00:43:27.520
Like she's the one that would help the most.
1200
00:43:27.660 --> 00:43:29.240
Like Mina, I don't think it's Marina.
1201
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:30.280
I definitely don't.
1202
00:43:31.260 --> 00:43:33.160
I think that's too obvious as it stands
1203
00:43:33.160 --> 00:43:34.080
with the rivalry.
1204
00:43:34.560 --> 00:43:34.940
Yeah, yeah.
1205
00:43:35.120 --> 00:43:36.980
There's a possibility that it's Ronda,
1206
00:43:37.500 --> 00:43:39.440
but I don't know that Ronda will be in AEW
1207
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:41.620
by the time Tony comes back, you know?
1208
00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:43.600
With the fight, with her MMA fights
1209
00:43:43.600 --> 00:43:45.620
that's coming up soon, like May, like we said.
1210
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:49.420
And the fact that she's only pretty much here
1211
00:43:49.420 --> 00:43:51.420
to sort of promote herself a little bit.
1212
00:43:51.540 --> 00:43:52.680
She's Marina's best mate.
1213
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:54.860
I can't see it personally.
1214
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:56.920
Yeah, I think they're gonna do a tag match
1215
00:43:56.920 --> 00:43:58.000
with somebody probably.
1216
00:43:58.160 --> 00:44:00.740
It'll probably be Mina and whoever would have been,
1217
00:44:00.940 --> 00:44:02.520
is gonna replace Tony Storm.
1218
00:44:03.180 --> 00:44:05.380
Funky Mama Two Time says there's an X on the tattoo
1219
00:44:05.380 --> 00:44:06.320
on Tony's wrist.
1220
00:44:06.520 --> 00:44:07.840
There is, and I was like,
1221
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:09.280
does she have an X tattooed on her wrist
1222
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:10.560
or did somebody put that there?
1223
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:12.220
I just didn't know.
1224
00:44:13.040 --> 00:44:18.580
Bleary line, my head cannon is this is Mariah May.
1225
00:44:18.940 --> 00:44:20.600
And there's some magic contract loophole
1226
00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:22.360
that allows her back.
1227
00:44:23.640 --> 00:44:24.800
Yeah, but she's got a doppelganger
1228
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:26.460
called Blake Monroe or something.
1229
00:44:27.120 --> 00:44:27.600
Somebody by that name.
1230
00:44:27.860 --> 00:44:30.220
Looks just like, doesn't wrestle though.
1231
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:33.720
She does the entertainment stuff, but yeah.
1232
00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:36.460
Secure Universe, oh wait, we need to speculate
1233
00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:38.240
like absolute batch of insane people.
1234
00:44:38.380 --> 00:44:39.120
It was Mariah May.
1235
00:44:40.620 --> 00:44:43.020
I think there's a possibility it was Athena
1236
00:44:45.020 --> 00:44:46.980
because maybe she could say,
1237
00:44:47.540 --> 00:44:50.060
you've been main eventing all of these shows
1238
00:44:50.060 --> 00:44:53.500
and I've been in ROH trying to get on these shows.
1239
00:44:53.900 --> 00:44:56.580
It's not my fault I've been the forever champion
1240
00:44:56.580 --> 00:44:59.320
and that I've been champion for three fucking years.
1241
00:44:59.700 --> 00:45:03.280
You know, but I was never gonna get on these shows.
1242
00:45:03.640 --> 00:45:06.400
So I think what we need to keep our eyes out for
1243
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:09.460
as we're trying to figure out who this could be
1244
00:45:09.460 --> 00:45:12.420
is who benefits the most from it?
1245
00:45:12.900 --> 00:45:14.620
Who would benefit the most from it?
1246
00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:16.520
I don't think it's Mercedes.
1247
00:45:18.180 --> 00:45:19.620
Deanna had a feud with Tony
1248
00:45:19.620 --> 00:45:21.760
and their matching tattoos featured a lot.
1249
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:26.320
That, holy shit, that would be huge for Deanna.
1250
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:30.120
Like that's how you rehabilitate her character
1251
00:45:30.560 --> 00:45:31.000
immediately.
1252
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:34.260
But like you were going back to what you said,
1253
00:45:34.260 --> 00:45:37.220
Blade about the sort of,
1254
00:45:37.260 --> 00:45:40.780
we're not sure about Deanna and TK sort of relationship.
1255
00:45:40.900 --> 00:45:42.340
That would be interesting though.
1256
00:45:42.980 --> 00:45:43.660
It would be.
1257
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:44.420
It would be.
1258
00:45:44.600 --> 00:45:46.120
You know, I think as Tony,
1259
00:45:46.180 --> 00:45:47.660
as time has gone on with Tony,
1260
00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:52.440
he's proven to be a little less vengeful
1261
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.600
than he kind of appeared to be a few times in the past.
1262
00:45:55.620 --> 00:45:57.560
You know, I don't think he's ever gonna be like Vince
1263
00:45:57.560 --> 00:46:00.380
where it's like, if it makes money, we do it.
1264
00:46:00.700 --> 00:46:03.780
But like, I don't think he's there.
1265
00:46:03.780 --> 00:46:06.060
I think he is still capable of being insulted
1266
00:46:06.060 --> 00:46:07.800
to a degree where he's like, fuck you.
1267
00:46:08.300 --> 00:46:11.180
But, you know, I think Cody could come back.
1268
00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:13.440
I absolutely think Cody could come back.
1269
00:46:13.660 --> 00:46:14.000
Is he in punk?
1270
00:46:14.200 --> 00:46:15.220
Probably not.
1271
00:46:16.140 --> 00:46:19.160
No, I think that's in the no column permanently,
1272
00:46:19.160 --> 00:46:19.980
I would say.
1273
00:46:21.020 --> 00:46:22.820
Scare Glow, I want Britt Baker back,
1274
00:46:22.820 --> 00:46:24.400
but I didn't see any missing teeth.
1275
00:46:25.220 --> 00:46:25.820
Holy shit.
1276
00:46:25.940 --> 00:46:28.280
That would be an incredible way to bring Britt back
1277
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:29.380
if they were gonna do it.
1278
00:46:30.500 --> 00:46:31.580
But, you know, just,
1279
00:46:31.580 --> 00:46:34.700
and it's really just based on the amount of no Britt
1280
00:46:34.700 --> 00:46:37.300
that we've had is, it's hard for me to see that.
1281
00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:38.280
But.
1282
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:40.480
The thing is with Britt Baker as well,
1283
00:46:41.580 --> 00:46:43.920
what's her, presumably we don't know her condition.
1284
00:46:44.020 --> 00:46:45.220
So I know she had some sort,
1285
00:46:45.300 --> 00:46:46.760
was it like a stroke of some sort?
1286
00:46:47.200 --> 00:46:48.660
There was a proper like health.
1287
00:46:49.080 --> 00:46:50.560
She said she had a mini stroke.
1288
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:51.220
Yes.
1289
00:46:51.540 --> 00:46:51.700
Yeah.
1290
00:46:51.700 --> 00:46:54.420
But she came back after that and then she left again.
1291
00:46:54.420 --> 00:46:55.340
Yeah, against Mercedes.
1292
00:46:57.060 --> 00:46:58.500
Fuck you mama, two times says
1293
00:46:58.500 --> 00:46:59.460
what I think we're all thinking,
1294
00:46:59.460 --> 00:47:00.660
which is I don't want Cody back.
1295
00:47:00.660 --> 00:47:01.840
Neither do I.
1296
00:47:02.080 --> 00:47:03.780
Nobody does want Cody back.
1297
00:47:04.020 --> 00:47:05.220
It's just, he could.
1298
00:47:06.060 --> 00:47:09.440
And it would be funny because he'd get booed.
1299
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:13.860
And the only reason for Cody to ever come back to AEW
1300
00:47:13.860 --> 00:47:14.740
would be to turn heel.
1301
00:47:15.520 --> 00:47:18.120
Like go Hollywood Hogan, do a Hollywood Hogan.
1302
00:47:18.260 --> 00:47:19.240
Like we're gonna take over.
1303
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:21.980
Like I went to work at a real wrestling company
1304
00:47:21.980 --> 00:47:22.620
kind of thing.
1305
00:47:22.780 --> 00:47:24.660
Like play that up.
1306
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:26.840
Security Universe, if we're throwing theories out there,
1307
00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:29.080
I know it probably not, it's probably not true,
1308
00:47:29.080 --> 00:47:31.860
but what if it was Ruby Soho coming back pissed
1309
00:47:31.860 --> 00:47:35.080
that Tony left the outcast in the rear view real quick?
1310
00:47:35.580 --> 00:47:37.140
That intrigues me.
1311
00:47:38.560 --> 00:47:42.240
But she's not been back in any form,
1312
00:47:42.300 --> 00:47:44.200
like videos or anything for ages
1313
00:47:44.200 --> 00:47:45.720
since she's had a baby, has she?
1314
00:47:46.200 --> 00:47:50.140
No, and her and Ange seem pretty fucking stoked
1315
00:47:50.140 --> 00:47:50.880
doing what they're doing.
1316
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.480
So, you know, they have a, is it a,
1317
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:57.740
it's like a arcade slash like.
1318
00:47:59.160 --> 00:48:01.460
Gaming deli or something like.
1319
00:48:01.680 --> 00:48:03.460
They're very much happy doing their own thing, aren't they?
1320
00:48:03.620 --> 00:48:04.820
So it seems that way.
1321
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:05.680
It seems that way.
1322
00:48:05.780 --> 00:48:07.400
But I mean, shit, this is a big,
1323
00:48:07.600 --> 00:48:09.340
whoever is getting this opportunity,
1324
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:11.800
it's a big opportunity.
1325
00:48:12.680 --> 00:48:14.180
So, you know, we know Tony's gonna be out
1326
00:48:14.180 --> 00:48:16.200
for a long time, all of the rest of this year.
1327
00:48:16.640 --> 00:48:17.760
I mean, it's only March.
1328
00:48:18.780 --> 00:48:20.720
So whatever's going on is a big deal.
1329
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.940
And regardless of who did this,
1330
00:48:26.060 --> 00:48:27.540
they're, the women's division,
1331
00:48:27.720 --> 00:48:30.100
like this is the time to step up, you know,
1332
00:48:30.220 --> 00:48:33.220
because they need, that's a huge hole
1333
00:48:33.220 --> 00:48:36.000
with Hangman and Tony gone, holy shit.
1334
00:48:36.680 --> 00:48:38.960
And so that does open up a huge spot
1335
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:39.780
for the women's division.
1336
00:48:40.520 --> 00:48:42.600
And Tony will feel more fresh when she's back.
1337
00:48:42.600 --> 00:48:43.960
She has worked a lot.
1338
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:46.140
It's not hard for me to believe that she's injured
1339
00:48:46.140 --> 00:48:48.300
because she bumps like a fucking maniac.
1340
00:48:49.040 --> 00:48:52.320
Like Tony Storm, man or woman,
1341
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:57.160
takes some of the craziest, like most painful looking bumps.
1342
00:48:57.500 --> 00:48:59.460
I have just, and they're not like crazy
1343
00:48:59.460 --> 00:49:01.480
like she gets pushed off a stage or something.
1344
00:49:02.060 --> 00:49:04.060
She just like will take a fucking power bomb
1345
00:49:04.060 --> 00:49:04.840
on the floor.
1346
00:49:05.080 --> 00:49:05.580
You know what I mean?
1347
00:49:06.220 --> 00:49:08.260
Like, holy shit, like she,
1348
00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:10.460
I have seen her take so many crazy bumps.
1349
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:13.300
Everyone remembers the Hollywood ending match
1350
00:49:13.300 --> 00:49:14.980
and rightfully so, right?
1351
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:17.520
But the Australia match before that,
1352
00:49:17.620 --> 00:49:20.480
Tony was taking so many insane bumps in that match.
1353
00:49:20.940 --> 00:49:24.920
You know, it's just crazy what Tony puts her body through.
1354
00:49:26.420 --> 00:49:27.300
Yeah, absolutely.
1355
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:31.700
Right, even Harley Cameron has a better sling blade
1356
00:49:31.700 --> 00:49:32.280
than Baker.
1357
00:49:32.680 --> 00:49:34.640
Her wrestling days may be over, but I still miss her.
1358
00:49:34.660 --> 00:49:36.020
She was an amazing talker
1359
00:49:36.020 --> 00:49:37.620
and helped us get through the pandemic era.
1360
00:49:38.040 --> 00:49:40.260
My thing is, look, even if Britt isn't a wrestler,
1361
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:42.620
you can't tell me there's not a use for her.
1362
00:49:42.980 --> 00:49:44.200
She could be a commentator.
1363
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:47.100
She could be, you could give her her own segment,
1364
00:49:47.200 --> 00:49:49.520
like the Piper's pit or something.
1365
00:49:49.520 --> 00:49:51.200
They were kind of doing that with her
1366
00:49:51.200 --> 00:49:53.860
back during the pandemic era, you know, on dark.
1367
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:56.900
They were trying out the, I forget what it was called,
1368
00:49:56.900 --> 00:49:58.940
but it was actually pretty cute.
1369
00:49:59.200 --> 00:50:00.780
It was a pretty fun bit.
1370
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:03.460
And BlairLine7 says Tony's entering work
1371
00:50:03.460 --> 00:50:04.300
is not praised enough.
1372
00:50:04.560 --> 00:50:05.560
I completely agree.
1373
00:50:06.160 --> 00:50:10.740
I think she is incredibly snug
1374
00:50:10.740 --> 00:50:12.140
with everything that she does,
1375
00:50:12.260 --> 00:50:13.980
but she likes it when people lay it in.
1376
00:50:14.020 --> 00:50:15.800
She'll take a lot of fucking punishment,
1377
00:50:16.120 --> 00:50:17.040
like real punishment.
1378
00:50:17.580 --> 00:50:20.440
Go back and watch that forbidden door match with Athena.
1379
00:50:21.160 --> 00:50:23.540
Like Athena looked like she broke Tony in half
1380
00:50:23.540 --> 00:50:24.940
about 17 different times.
1381
00:50:25.520 --> 00:50:27.420
I really thought Athena was winning that match
1382
00:50:27.420 --> 00:50:29.000
because Tony had just looked dead.
1383
00:50:30.580 --> 00:50:32.460
But there's already been one beneficiary
1384
00:50:32.460 --> 00:50:34.880
of Tony being out in a bab, and that's Mina.
1385
00:50:35.780 --> 00:50:38.040
Because Mina is a good soldier
1386
00:50:38.040 --> 00:50:39.700
who's put a ton of people over.
1387
00:50:40.100 --> 00:50:41.720
Knowing she was taking on Marina Shafir,
1388
00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:43.400
who had been given a significant amount
1389
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:44.500
of exposure and push,
1390
00:50:44.500 --> 00:50:47.120
I assume she'd probably be losing again.
1391
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:49.560
But no, they had a great match.
1392
00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:52.280
They beat the shit out of each other.
1393
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:55.200
Marina put Mina through a table.
1394
00:50:55.340 --> 00:50:56.160
If you're not watching this,
1395
00:50:56.340 --> 00:50:57.300
I'm making the quote fingers
1396
00:50:57.300 --> 00:50:58.480
because Marina is the one
1397
00:50:58.480 --> 00:50:59.440
who actually went through the table.
1398
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:02.760
Mina just went straight up on her head to the floor.
1399
00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:05.140
Smacked her head, yeah.
1400
00:51:05.600 --> 00:51:06.540
Did not look good.
1401
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:09.620
Marina got the mother's milk on Mina,
1402
00:51:09.860 --> 00:51:11.280
but she managed to escape
1403
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:13.800
by just fucking jamming her nail
1404
00:51:14.300 --> 00:51:17.580
in Marina's eye, which looked really brutal.
1405
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:21.100
And as Marina was kind of being checked on by the ref,
1406
00:51:21.600 --> 00:51:22.940
Mina grabbed a bottle of champagne.
1407
00:51:23.020 --> 00:51:23.980
I love the way they did this
1408
00:51:23.980 --> 00:51:25.260
because we all saw her do it.
1409
00:51:25.980 --> 00:51:29.020
And then she broke it on Marina's fucking face.
1410
00:51:30.540 --> 00:51:33.880
Not over her head, like on her fucking face.
1411
00:51:34.380 --> 00:51:36.180
Then she hits a spinning back fist
1412
00:51:36.180 --> 00:51:38.440
and a storm zero and pinned Marina.
1413
00:51:39.140 --> 00:51:40.400
Very fucking cool.
1414
00:51:41.380 --> 00:51:44.760
Me just saying she hit the storm zero right after that
1415
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.120
is like, they could almost give a nod
1416
00:51:47.120 --> 00:51:49.680
to the Mariah story with Mina.
1417
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:51.200
You know what I mean?
1418
00:51:51.720 --> 00:51:52.200
Yeah.
1419
00:51:54.690 --> 00:51:57.270
It's an interesting, interesting.
1420
00:51:58.850 --> 00:52:00.510
But yeah, blurry line says
1421
00:52:00.510 --> 00:52:02.890
I was at first upset at Marina losing.
1422
00:52:03.230 --> 00:52:05.310
I kind of was too, because I didn't think,
1423
00:52:05.710 --> 00:52:07.230
I said right before the match,
1424
00:52:07.410 --> 00:52:08.530
Mina needs to get some wins.
1425
00:52:09.070 --> 00:52:10.850
I didn't think it would happen here.
1426
00:52:10.850 --> 00:52:13.810
And I didn't know if I wanted it to happen here.
1427
00:52:15.410 --> 00:52:17.350
But it just depends on what the plan is
1428
00:52:17.350 --> 00:52:18.390
for Mina going forward.
1429
00:52:19.230 --> 00:52:23.350
I thought they gave Marina a good out
1430
00:52:23.350 --> 00:52:26.330
because she did take a fucking bottle to her fucking jaw.
1431
00:52:26.730 --> 00:52:27.890
And then she was laughing
1432
00:52:27.890 --> 00:52:29.270
as Mina was getting out of the ring.
1433
00:52:29.370 --> 00:52:30.850
She couldn't even stand up,
1434
00:52:30.850 --> 00:52:32.630
but she was just laughing on the mat.
1435
00:52:33.370 --> 00:52:39.090
And that kind of, remember when Bray Wyatt was,
1436
00:52:39.090 --> 00:52:41.010
he had had that first year
1437
00:52:41.010 --> 00:52:44.310
where he was very compelling and very spooky.
1438
00:52:45.310 --> 00:52:47.210
And then his gimmick just became that he kept losing,
1439
00:52:47.250 --> 00:52:49.050
but he would always laugh about it.
1440
00:52:50.390 --> 00:52:51.790
Yes, I do actually.
1441
00:52:51.950 --> 00:52:53.910
That's not enough in and of itself.
1442
00:52:54.190 --> 00:52:54.670
You know what I mean?
1443
00:52:54.910 --> 00:52:55.370
You need-
1444
00:52:55.370 --> 00:52:59.390
Was that the early, early Wyatt family days?
1445
00:52:59.470 --> 00:52:59.910
Yes.
1446
00:53:00.110 --> 00:53:02.190
It was when he was facing Cena
1447
00:53:02.190 --> 00:53:04.570
and everybody thought, oh, he's going to beat Cena
1448
00:53:04.570 --> 00:53:05.610
and he didn't.
1449
00:53:06.170 --> 00:53:06.650
Yeah. Nope.
1450
00:53:07.210 --> 00:53:09.110
And then he lost to him like two more times
1451
00:53:09.110 --> 00:53:10.330
and then he beat him in a cage match
1452
00:53:10.330 --> 00:53:12.530
because literally the entire family kept John Cena
1453
00:53:12.530 --> 00:53:13.570
from getting out of the cage.
1454
00:53:14.030 --> 00:53:15.090
Anyway. Yes.
1455
00:53:15.090 --> 00:53:15.850
So they were cool.
1456
00:53:16.070 --> 00:53:17.150
Yeah. Yeah.
1457
00:53:17.190 --> 00:53:18.890
Yeah. Marina didn't look weak.
1458
00:53:18.890 --> 00:53:22.530
She took a fucking bottle broken over her jaw.
1459
00:53:22.690 --> 00:53:23.410
You know?
1460
00:53:24.350 --> 00:53:25.870
She legitimately scares me.
1461
00:53:26.130 --> 00:53:27.330
Yeah. No, that's it.
1462
00:53:27.390 --> 00:53:29.690
I mean, she was massaging her fucking jaw.
1463
00:53:29.870 --> 00:53:32.370
I was like, damn, dude, that looks stiff.
1464
00:53:33.410 --> 00:53:34.990
Pierce Wrestling, I wish Leslie Nielsen
1465
00:53:34.990 --> 00:53:35.910
was alive for this story.
1466
00:53:36.030 --> 00:53:38.250
Like 1994 SummerSlam with Undertaker.
1467
00:53:38.670 --> 00:53:39.510
Hell yeah.
1468
00:53:39.770 --> 00:53:40.230
Hell yeah.
1469
00:53:40.410 --> 00:53:42.790
I love a good Leslie Nielsen show, baby.
1470
00:53:43.270 --> 00:53:44.250
Fucking mama, two times,
1471
00:53:44.390 --> 00:53:45.470
Mina really needed that win.
1472
00:53:45.490 --> 00:53:47.790
She's probably going to be Tecla's next title match
1473
00:53:48.690 --> 00:53:50.950
or she's going to be really deeply involved
1474
00:53:50.950 --> 00:53:51.950
with this Tony thing
1475
00:53:52.830 --> 00:53:55.190
and maybe even be the one leading the charge
1476
00:53:55.190 --> 00:53:58.530
to solve the crime because she did it.
1477
00:54:00.090 --> 00:54:01.490
Ana is definitely the better worker.
1478
00:54:01.550 --> 00:54:03.810
I hope she isn't done with AEW.
1479
00:54:03.810 --> 00:54:06.030
Yes, I don't want...
1480
00:54:06.030 --> 00:54:06.090
Yeah.
1481
00:54:06.550 --> 00:54:08.170
What would she do in WWE?
1482
00:54:08.490 --> 00:54:10.070
We're talking about Ana Jay.
1483
00:54:10.770 --> 00:54:14.320
Like, she's got way more ups and downs.
1484
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:14.660
She'd be in NXT.
1485
00:54:15.420 --> 00:54:17.940
She'd be in NXT and she'd be some faceless nobody.
1486
00:54:18.660 --> 00:54:20.400
You know, she means something in AEW.
1487
00:54:20.940 --> 00:54:22.920
But I have noticed that Ty hasn't been on TV
1488
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:24.080
since Ana Jay disappeared.
1489
00:54:25.300 --> 00:54:26.320
This is also true.
1490
00:54:26.580 --> 00:54:26.900
Yeah. Yeah.
1491
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:27.800
I didn't think about that.
1492
00:54:28.040 --> 00:54:29.040
It's been a long time.
1493
00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:30.920
All right.
1494
00:54:31.860 --> 00:54:33.640
Guys, next week on Dynamite,
1495
00:54:34.340 --> 00:54:37.220
we are getting Kenny versus Swerve 2.
1496
00:54:38.980 --> 00:54:42.340
Now, let me preface that by saying,
1497
00:54:42.700 --> 00:54:47.120
if I had told you or myself last year,
1498
00:54:48.500 --> 00:54:50.800
you're going to get Kenny versus Swerve next year,
1499
00:54:50.940 --> 00:54:52.940
I'd be jumping for fucking joy, right?
1500
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:56.440
If I had told myself you're going to get it twice,
1501
00:54:56.840 --> 00:54:58.900
I'd be over the moon.
1502
00:55:00.240 --> 00:55:01.820
If I had told myself you're going to get it twice
1503
00:55:01.820 --> 00:55:05.360
on Dynamite and it's going to have a real finish
1504
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:09.890
with huge stakes, I don't know what I would have done.
1505
00:55:09.970 --> 00:55:11.550
I would have thought I was, I would have been like,
1506
00:55:11.570 --> 00:55:13.210
you're a fucking liar to myself
1507
00:55:13.930 --> 00:55:16.030
because that just seems kind of unbelievable.
1508
00:55:16.550 --> 00:55:18.730
And yet here we fucking are.
1509
00:55:19.210 --> 00:55:22.990
Next week, Kenny cut a promo,
1510
00:55:23.370 --> 00:55:25.990
obviously after he ran out during revolution
1511
00:55:27.290 --> 00:55:28.790
and said, you know, Swerve,
1512
00:55:28.910 --> 00:55:31.290
now that you've beaten Brody,
1513
00:55:32.410 --> 00:55:33.870
you are the number one contender,
1514
00:55:33.970 --> 00:55:36.670
what about you put that on the line and we wrestle for it?
1515
00:55:37.410 --> 00:55:40.010
Then a tweet comes out right after that promo airs
1516
00:55:40.010 --> 00:55:43.090
and Swerve says, Kenny, I got a counter offer for you.
1517
00:55:43.110 --> 00:55:45.830
They go to a break, they come back and Swerve comes out.
1518
00:55:46.770 --> 00:55:50.210
By the way, the new Swerve music works way better
1519
00:55:50.210 --> 00:55:51.190
with him as a heel.
1520
00:55:52.230 --> 00:55:53.450
You know, when he's the baby face,
1521
00:55:53.450 --> 00:55:55.270
you want to do the Nana, you know?
1522
00:55:55.510 --> 00:55:58.570
But now it's like, don't dance to this, fuck you.
1523
00:55:58.570 --> 00:56:01.350
You know, like, I loved it.
1524
00:56:01.830 --> 00:56:04.450
They did a spotlight on him while he sat in a chair.
1525
00:56:05.210 --> 00:56:07.690
Swerve looks really fucking scary in the dark,
1526
00:56:07.690 --> 00:56:09.730
you guys, with shadows all over him.
1527
00:56:09.930 --> 00:56:13.090
Like that dude looks fucking terrifying, okay?
1528
00:56:14.090 --> 00:56:16.830
And he cut what I felt was a really great promo.
1529
00:56:17.610 --> 00:56:19.350
He said he doesn't just want the world title
1530
00:56:19.350 --> 00:56:20.950
because a title doesn't mean anything
1531
00:56:20.950 --> 00:56:23.210
if you don't have the power to protect it.
1532
00:56:23.510 --> 00:56:26.090
If you don't have the power to protect yourself.
1533
00:56:27.890 --> 00:56:31.310
And then he says, Kenny, you want my title shot?
1534
00:56:31.350 --> 00:56:33.010
Well, I'm not just gonna give it to you.
1535
00:56:33.030 --> 00:56:35.590
I'm not just gonna give you a match for my title shot.
1536
00:56:35.850 --> 00:56:37.530
I'm the one in the power position.
1537
00:56:37.530 --> 00:56:41.310
I have the power, but I want your power.
1538
00:56:41.510 --> 00:56:43.170
This was so good.
1539
00:56:43.870 --> 00:56:46.150
He wants Kenny's EVP power.
1540
00:56:47.690 --> 00:56:50.490
So he's putting his number one contendership
1541
00:56:50.490 --> 00:56:53.030
up against Kenny's EVP power.
1542
00:56:53.230 --> 00:56:55.450
If he wins, he's the EVP.
1543
00:56:56.050 --> 00:56:58.570
Can you imagine this unhinged lunatic
1544
00:56:58.570 --> 00:57:01.550
as the EVP just doing whatever the fuck he wants?
1545
00:57:04.010 --> 00:57:04.890
Be kind of cool.
1546
00:57:06.070 --> 00:57:09.070
I don't really want Kenny to lose again,
1547
00:57:10.690 --> 00:57:13.170
but Kenny's kind of bulletproof at this point.
1548
00:57:13.630 --> 00:57:14.190
Yep.
1549
00:57:14.830 --> 00:57:17.650
And Kenny never uses the EVP power on screen.
1550
00:57:17.970 --> 00:57:18.510
You know what I mean?
1551
00:57:18.970 --> 00:57:20.570
So it would be a way for that
1552
00:57:20.570 --> 00:57:22.570
to still have some kind of significance.
1553
00:57:23.670 --> 00:57:25.470
Yeah, with the EVP power,
1554
00:57:25.650 --> 00:57:28.910
I think I go back firstly to Young Bucks
1555
00:57:28.910 --> 00:57:30.090
when they were the heels.
1556
00:57:30.210 --> 00:57:34.930
They used the EVP power for everything
1557
00:57:34.930 --> 00:57:36.210
in the worst possible way.
1558
00:57:36.370 --> 00:57:38.550
And I think Swerve will probably,
1559
00:57:39.010 --> 00:57:41.790
because I'm sort of more towards him winning it,
1560
00:57:41.790 --> 00:57:43.370
but because of who it is in the match,
1561
00:57:43.750 --> 00:57:46.410
not quite sure yet, but I'm more sort of towards him.
1562
00:57:47.050 --> 00:57:48.530
Yeah, I think he'll be unhinged.
1563
00:57:50.130 --> 00:57:52.150
Prince Nana with him as well.
1564
00:57:52.890 --> 00:57:56.470
Yeah, it looks like the right fit for me, to be honest.
1565
00:57:56.750 --> 00:57:57.130
Absolutely.
1566
00:57:57.270 --> 00:57:59.410
It will go with the way the characters go in as well.
1567
00:58:00.090 --> 00:58:02.750
Yeah, yeah, and Kenny can take a loss.
1568
00:58:02.950 --> 00:58:04.450
He's an ex-World Champion.
1569
00:58:04.550 --> 00:58:05.690
They're both ex-World Champions.
1570
00:58:05.710 --> 00:58:06.650
They can both lose.
1571
00:58:06.730 --> 00:58:08.610
I mean, they don't lose anything
1572
00:58:08.610 --> 00:58:09.570
when they lose a match.
1573
00:58:12.610 --> 00:58:14.250
It's a very interesting thing,
1574
00:58:14.310 --> 00:58:17.430
because the other thing is you have Dynasty coming up.
1575
00:58:17.590 --> 00:58:21.630
Are these two fighting to see who fights Max at Dynasty?
1576
00:58:21.630 --> 00:58:23.050
Because if that's the case,
1577
00:58:23.130 --> 00:58:24.690
Kenny's gonna win, in my opinion.
1578
00:58:25.750 --> 00:58:28.450
Because a Kenny versus Max match makes more sense
1579
00:58:28.450 --> 00:58:31.610
for the crowd than a Swerve versus MJF match.
1580
00:58:32.650 --> 00:58:33.190
Yeah.
1581
00:58:33.930 --> 00:58:36.530
And then Swerve chasing Kenny
1582
00:58:38.190 --> 00:58:39.750
would make a lot of sense too.
1583
00:58:40.130 --> 00:58:42.710
So I don't know that they would actually
1584
00:58:42.710 --> 00:58:46.350
let Kenny win the title again, but I could see it.
1585
00:58:47.190 --> 00:58:49.670
Also, I'm gonna be at Dynasty.
1586
00:58:49.670 --> 00:58:51.970
Let Kenny win the title, please.
1587
00:58:53.470 --> 00:58:54.670
For the love of Christ.
1588
00:58:54.890 --> 00:58:56.950
Tony, don't listen to the rest of this episode.
1589
00:58:56.970 --> 00:58:58.110
Just listen to this.
1590
00:58:58.710 --> 00:59:01.150
I will be at Dynasty, okay?
1591
00:59:02.050 --> 00:59:04.010
Let Kenny win the title from MJF there.
1592
00:59:04.690 --> 00:59:05.210
All right.
1593
00:59:06.290 --> 00:59:08.810
I don't like to use my platform for selfish means.
1594
00:59:08.950 --> 00:59:11.110
You guys know how benevolent I am,
1595
00:59:11.390 --> 00:59:14.730
but you gotta cash in every once in a while.
1596
00:59:15.130 --> 00:59:15.830
Always Never says,
1597
00:59:15.890 --> 00:59:17.710
I agree with the music for Swerve working so well
1598
00:59:17.710 --> 00:59:18.430
with him as a heel.
1599
00:59:18.430 --> 00:59:19.990
This promo with the harsh shadows
1600
00:59:19.990 --> 00:59:22.610
was an evolution of his promo against Hangman
1601
00:59:22.610 --> 00:59:23.390
about his spot.
1602
00:59:23.750 --> 00:59:25.430
Totally, totally.
1603
00:59:25.630 --> 00:59:26.150
Yeah.
1604
00:59:26.210 --> 00:59:27.350
Because that was the promo
1605
00:59:27.350 --> 00:59:29.890
that changed Swerve's entire career, right?
1606
00:59:30.130 --> 00:59:33.310
And this was signaling the next shift in Swerve's career.
1607
00:59:34.110 --> 00:59:34.450
Absolutely.
1608
00:59:34.650 --> 00:59:36.550
I think Nana has actually been...
1609
00:59:37.910 --> 00:59:40.330
What I love about Nana is he doesn't try
1610
00:59:40.330 --> 00:59:41.250
to do too much.
1611
00:59:41.470 --> 00:59:42.790
He knows why he's there.
1612
00:59:43.590 --> 00:59:45.830
And if he tried to do a bunch more talking
1613
00:59:45.830 --> 00:59:47.790
now that Swerve's a heel, it wouldn't work.
1614
00:59:48.750 --> 00:59:51.010
Cause everybody knows Swerve can talk.
1615
00:59:51.810 --> 00:59:52.190
You know?
1616
00:59:53.450 --> 00:59:56.070
So Nana just needs to not do the dance
1617
00:59:56.990 --> 00:59:58.630
and kind of like tell the crowd
1618
00:59:58.630 --> 01:00:00.370
to fuck themselves every once in a while.
1619
01:00:00.410 --> 01:00:01.470
And that's about it.
1620
01:00:01.530 --> 01:00:02.010
Yeah.
1621
01:00:02.090 --> 01:00:02.770
That's why he's there.
1622
01:00:03.670 --> 01:00:04.150
Yeah.
1623
01:00:05.950 --> 01:00:08.130
But it was made official later in the night.
1624
01:00:08.130 --> 01:00:09.830
The match is happening next week.
1625
01:00:10.690 --> 01:00:12.930
I wanna ask the chat who you guys got
1626
01:00:12.930 --> 01:00:17.730
for this match with Swerve and Kenny next week.
1627
01:00:17.730 --> 01:00:20.890
And what do you think the aftermath would look like
1628
01:00:20.890 --> 01:00:22.610
for Swerve to become the EVP
1629
01:00:22.610 --> 01:00:25.050
or Kenny to become the number one contender?
1630
01:00:27.050 --> 01:00:27.370
Yeah.
1631
01:00:27.510 --> 01:00:30.290
So player line seven says Nana was the best harbinger
1632
01:00:30.290 --> 01:00:31.490
of Swerve's turn too.
1633
01:00:31.750 --> 01:00:32.590
He really was.
1634
01:00:32.990 --> 01:00:34.110
He really was.
1635
01:00:35.970 --> 01:00:38.210
Having the embassy towel too.
1636
01:00:39.450 --> 01:00:39.770
Yeah.
1637
01:00:39.770 --> 01:00:41.570
That's still in the background, isn't it?
1638
01:00:41.710 --> 01:00:42.770
It sure is.
1639
01:00:42.930 --> 01:00:43.530
It sure is.
1640
01:00:43.530 --> 01:00:45.370
Especially with a match like what's gonna happen
1641
01:00:45.370 --> 01:00:48.730
next week in the foreground.
1642
01:00:49.610 --> 01:00:51.590
That would kind of be a perfect time
1643
01:00:51.590 --> 01:00:55.710
for him to flex his power to take more power.
1644
01:00:55.930 --> 01:00:56.770
You know what I mean?
1645
01:00:58.210 --> 01:01:00.950
Or you could save it and say, you know what?
1646
01:01:01.590 --> 01:01:03.970
I didn't watch my own back, you know?
1647
01:01:04.090 --> 01:01:05.150
That's why I lost to Kenny.
1648
01:01:05.990 --> 01:01:07.190
And then bring in the embassy.
1649
01:01:07.370 --> 01:01:08.910
There's so many ways it can go.
1650
01:01:10.470 --> 01:01:11.050
But I'm just saying,
1651
01:01:11.150 --> 01:01:12.410
whoever comes up against Swerve
1652
01:01:12.410 --> 01:01:15.350
for the foreseeable future is about to get real hurt
1653
01:01:15.350 --> 01:01:16.530
because this dude,
1654
01:01:17.070 --> 01:01:20.210
he really does look like the most dangerous man in AEW.
1655
01:01:20.570 --> 01:01:21.290
Nothing against anybody else.
1656
01:01:21.290 --> 01:01:22.610
In the way he's put on as well.
1657
01:01:22.750 --> 01:01:23.370
Oh my God.
1658
01:01:23.570 --> 01:01:24.810
He's so stacked now, isn't he?
1659
01:01:24.910 --> 01:01:25.750
He's terrifying.
1660
01:01:26.290 --> 01:01:26.910
He's just terrifying.
1661
01:01:29.470 --> 01:01:29.610
Yeah.
1662
01:01:30.090 --> 01:01:30.890
Yeah, yeah.
1663
01:01:32.090 --> 01:01:33.730
A fuck your mama two times says it's gonna be Kenny
1664
01:01:33.730 --> 01:01:35.670
setting up Kenny versus MJF in Vancouver.
1665
01:01:36.330 --> 01:01:37.530
Please, please, please.
1666
01:01:38.750 --> 01:01:40.010
I would love that.
1667
01:01:41.310 --> 01:01:42.530
Player line says I've got Swerve
1668
01:01:42.530 --> 01:01:45.550
because AEW love putting Kenny laid out on a stretcher.
1669
01:01:46.070 --> 01:01:46.670
They do.
1670
01:01:46.970 --> 01:01:49.790
I think this must be Kenny's idea at some point.
1671
01:01:49.830 --> 01:01:51.850
It's like a running bit that he likes to do.
1672
01:01:51.930 --> 01:01:53.650
Well, yeah, and then you guys put me on a stretcher.
1673
01:01:54.210 --> 01:01:55.630
That's how Kenny's mind works.
1674
01:01:55.930 --> 01:01:58.270
He doesn't care about that sort of thing,
1675
01:01:58.350 --> 01:01:58.650
does he?
1676
01:01:58.750 --> 01:02:00.630
Like taking the mick out of himself, so yeah.
1677
01:02:01.170 --> 01:02:02.690
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1678
01:02:03.290 --> 01:02:03.730
Blur your line.
1679
01:02:03.830 --> 01:02:06.210
I know Books absolutely loves it when that happens.
1680
01:02:06.650 --> 01:02:07.350
Oh yeah.
1681
01:02:07.350 --> 01:02:07.630
She does.
1682
01:02:08.030 --> 01:02:09.590
She loves when Kenny goes out on a stretcher.
1683
01:02:09.630 --> 01:02:10.410
So does Joshi.
1684
01:02:10.410 --> 01:02:11.270
She loves it.
1685
01:02:12.710 --> 01:02:14.430
Okay, I think Kay loves that as well.
1686
01:02:14.610 --> 01:02:14.870
Kenny?
1687
01:02:14.870 --> 01:02:15.570
Yeah.
1688
01:02:16.050 --> 01:02:17.250
Kenny loves it.
1689
01:02:17.970 --> 01:02:20.030
Kenny also, like, I've said this on the show
1690
01:02:20.030 --> 01:02:20.470
a bunch of times.
1691
01:02:20.550 --> 01:02:22.310
Sorry for repeating myself, guys,
1692
01:02:22.350 --> 01:02:26.810
but that angle where Okada did the elbow drop
1693
01:02:26.810 --> 01:02:30.350
onto his gut and then he like vomited blood on camera.
1694
01:02:31.370 --> 01:02:33.530
That was totally Kenny's idea.
1695
01:02:33.910 --> 01:02:36.130
Like Kenny couldn't wait to do that idea.
1696
01:02:36.450 --> 01:02:37.510
And you know, he just went,
1697
01:02:37.630 --> 01:02:40.970
he was like imagining how it would look for like a week.
1698
01:02:41.410 --> 01:02:42.150
And he was just like,
1699
01:02:43.070 --> 01:02:44.990
like he just went everywhere.
1700
01:02:45.650 --> 01:02:46.250
That was a sight.
1701
01:02:46.510 --> 01:02:47.190
That was, wow.
1702
01:02:47.210 --> 01:02:47.650
It was.
1703
01:02:47.770 --> 01:02:48.770
Yeah, that flashbacks to that.
1704
01:02:48.930 --> 01:02:49.770
That was insane.
1705
01:02:50.130 --> 01:02:50.530
Yeah.
1706
01:02:51.050 --> 01:02:52.490
I mean, to me, it was funny
1707
01:02:52.490 --> 01:02:54.910
because it was just obviously fake, but like.
1708
01:02:55.310 --> 01:02:55.650
Yeah, yeah.
1709
01:02:55.650 --> 01:02:56.090
You know.
1710
01:02:56.130 --> 01:02:57.210
Just how forced it was.
1711
01:02:57.490 --> 01:02:58.330
And like the eyes full.
1712
01:02:58.670 --> 01:02:58.850
Yes, yes.
1713
01:02:59.130 --> 01:02:59.830
Oh my God.
1714
01:02:59.830 --> 01:03:01.850
It was like such B movie horror.
1715
01:03:02.010 --> 01:03:02.550
It was awesome.
1716
01:03:03.670 --> 01:03:05.070
The Scare Glow, let's be selfish.
1717
01:03:05.230 --> 01:03:06.590
Kenny Omega is my favorite wrestler.
1718
01:03:06.670 --> 01:03:08.730
I want to see Kenny win in person at Dynasty.
1719
01:03:09.310 --> 01:03:10.110
Scare Glow, you and me,
1720
01:03:10.110 --> 01:03:12.350
we are on the exact same wavelength, okay?
1721
01:03:12.410 --> 01:03:13.490
We should meet up.
1722
01:03:13.650 --> 01:03:15.090
Any of you that are going to be at Dynasty,
1723
01:03:15.330 --> 01:03:17.610
let's make sure to say hello to each other
1724
01:03:18.610 --> 01:03:20.130
sometime during the evening, okay?
1725
01:03:20.130 --> 01:03:22.590
Cause I'm going to be there as a, you know,
1726
01:03:22.590 --> 01:03:25.430
it's not a very far drive for me from Seattle.
1727
01:03:25.470 --> 01:03:26.690
So I will be there.
1728
01:03:26.690 --> 01:03:28.330
And if you're going to be there, let me know.
1729
01:03:28.930 --> 01:03:30.630
And let's take a pic together.
1730
01:03:30.790 --> 01:03:32.110
Let's say hello.
1731
01:03:32.310 --> 01:03:33.550
You know what I mean?
1732
01:03:34.410 --> 01:03:35.210
Always never.
1733
01:03:35.630 --> 01:03:36.430
I want Swerve to win
1734
01:03:36.430 --> 01:03:37.790
because I will always root for him.
1735
01:03:37.930 --> 01:03:39.510
AEW is so good with subtle details
1736
01:03:39.510 --> 01:03:42.410
and the embassy flag with Nana was one such great example.
1737
01:03:42.470 --> 01:03:44.030
Future, no idea.
1738
01:03:44.170 --> 01:03:45.410
I let the art wash over me.
1739
01:03:45.930 --> 01:03:48.170
Always never, not a big fantasy booking fella.
1740
01:03:48.330 --> 01:03:50.330
And I can respect that.
1741
01:03:50.710 --> 01:03:54.490
I am significantly less of a fantasy booking guy
1742
01:03:54.490 --> 01:03:55.790
because I'm always wrong.
1743
01:03:59.230 --> 01:04:01.210
And you know, speaking of things that are wrong,
1744
01:04:01.390 --> 01:04:02.290
I'm going to hit the music.
1745
01:04:02.650 --> 01:04:04.070
I'm going to sing for the people.
1746
01:04:04.290 --> 01:04:06.770
Cause that feels really wrong when I do it,
1747
01:04:06.770 --> 01:04:08.570
but it feels so good to me.
1748
01:04:09.110 --> 01:04:10.610
And when we come back,
1749
01:04:11.810 --> 01:04:13.550
we know one match we're getting for Dynasty.
1750
01:04:14.710 --> 01:04:15.370
Boop, boop, boop, boop.
1751
01:04:37.590 --> 01:04:38.650
If you're not in the live chat,
1752
01:04:38.730 --> 01:04:40.430
you didn't hear me just sing lithium
1753
01:04:40.430 --> 01:04:41.670
to the entire audience.
1754
01:04:42.930 --> 01:04:45.370
But what you did get on Dynamite
1755
01:04:46.190 --> 01:04:48.290
was a really fun trios match.
1756
01:04:48.510 --> 01:04:49.890
The Young Bucks tagged with Jack Perry
1757
01:04:49.890 --> 01:04:51.290
against the Don Callis family.
1758
01:04:51.530 --> 01:04:52.590
And that was Rocky Romero,
1759
01:04:52.650 --> 01:04:55.670
Tremperetta and Kazuchika Okada.
1760
01:04:56.170 --> 01:04:57.370
It was a super fun match.
1761
01:04:57.430 --> 01:04:59.210
I loved them kicking Okada's ass.
1762
01:04:59.210 --> 01:05:01.910
Okada cut a promo earlier in the night.
1763
01:05:02.130 --> 01:05:04.590
This dude's English is getting way better.
1764
01:05:05.750 --> 01:05:07.290
Like his promo was fantastic.
1765
01:05:07.290 --> 01:05:08.210
It was so awesome.
1766
01:05:09.050 --> 01:05:09.610
Like he was like,
1767
01:05:09.610 --> 01:05:11.590
you guys used to say we were like family.
1768
01:05:11.930 --> 01:05:13.250
You're so stupid.
1769
01:05:13.850 --> 01:05:17.630
Like, of course I was using you, you know?
1770
01:05:17.670 --> 01:05:18.990
Like that's so dumb.
1771
01:05:19.590 --> 01:05:22.810
But yeah, so basically they have a match.
1772
01:05:23.230 --> 01:05:27.230
There's also a bit that they filmed a segment
1773
01:05:27.230 --> 01:05:30.170
with Jack Perry leaving for work basically
1774
01:05:30.170 --> 01:05:31.950
with his new national title.
1775
01:05:32.630 --> 01:05:34.010
And I loved it.
1776
01:05:34.010 --> 01:05:36.050
I really, really liked it.
1777
01:05:36.370 --> 01:05:38.190
Bluchasaurus is out there like his big brother
1778
01:05:38.190 --> 01:05:40.250
or his dad like honking, like we need to go.
1779
01:05:40.290 --> 01:05:41.730
Come on, get it, get ready.
1780
01:05:42.110 --> 01:05:45.150
And Jack's just going through the house, you know?
1781
01:05:45.430 --> 01:05:48.470
And then he has like this moment with a squirrel.
1782
01:05:48.750 --> 01:05:51.670
And then he gets in, they drive in.
1783
01:05:52.050 --> 01:05:52.670
He shows up.
1784
01:05:52.670 --> 01:05:53.830
I like this Jack Perry.
1785
01:05:54.010 --> 01:05:54.710
This is fun.
1786
01:05:54.710 --> 01:05:57.750
Like this is just silly, goofy shit.
1787
01:05:58.490 --> 01:06:00.210
And it's amazing to me that Jack Perry
1788
01:06:00.210 --> 01:06:02.110
did such a great job as the scapegoat,
1789
01:06:02.110 --> 01:06:03.110
but can do this too.
1790
01:06:03.510 --> 01:06:06.130
And be kind of equally believable.
1791
01:06:07.610 --> 01:06:08.570
Yeah, yeah.
1792
01:06:09.570 --> 01:06:13.250
And so, yeah, so these, the trios match happens.
1793
01:06:13.330 --> 01:06:14.730
It's a really, really great match.
1794
01:06:14.810 --> 01:06:17.110
You get the Jacksons in, you know,
1795
01:06:17.350 --> 01:06:20.230
you get the Jacksons and like four other people
1796
01:06:20.230 --> 01:06:21.850
in the ring, like you're gonna have a good match.
1797
01:06:21.910 --> 01:06:23.790
These guys do match structure
1798
01:06:23.790 --> 01:06:26.110
unlike anybody I've ever seen.
1799
01:06:27.430 --> 01:06:32.030
Nobody knows how to put like a huge multi-man match
1800
01:06:32.030 --> 01:06:33.010
together like these guys.
1801
01:06:33.350 --> 01:06:34.850
They're incredible at it.
1802
01:06:34.930 --> 01:06:37.010
And you can always tell when it was them that did it
1803
01:06:37.710 --> 01:06:40.670
because people are always in just the right place
1804
01:06:40.670 --> 01:06:42.230
at just the right time for something crazy
1805
01:06:42.230 --> 01:06:44.070
that you didn't see coming at tap.
1806
01:06:46.950 --> 01:06:49.350
But, you know, they cut a promo after the match.
1807
01:06:49.570 --> 01:06:50.350
They do get the win.
1808
01:06:50.350 --> 01:06:53.890
Rocky, who Rocky basically is there to be pinned
1809
01:06:53.890 --> 01:06:55.390
and we all knew it.
1810
01:06:55.610 --> 01:06:57.850
They cut a promo saying they were totally crushed
1811
01:06:57.850 --> 01:06:59.750
about losing the FTR in front of their family.
1812
01:07:00.210 --> 01:07:02.070
They said they're gonna pick themselves back up
1813
01:07:02.070 --> 01:07:03.570
and get into contendership.
1814
01:07:04.190 --> 01:07:05.450
And right when they say that,
1815
01:07:06.530 --> 01:07:07.950
you think you know him.
1816
01:07:08.450 --> 01:07:09.530
Cope's music hits.
1817
01:07:10.730 --> 01:07:12.570
And God, who doesn't love getting down
1818
01:07:12.570 --> 01:07:15.690
to the former members of Creed,
1819
01:07:16.030 --> 01:07:19.510
now an altar bridge doing this corny ass song
1820
01:07:19.510 --> 01:07:23.970
that I can't stand, but it works for Cope, I will say.
1821
01:07:24.270 --> 01:07:26.090
Like not every wrestling theme is actually good,
1822
01:07:26.210 --> 01:07:27.450
but it's good for wrestling.
1823
01:07:27.650 --> 01:07:28.690
And this song works for Cope.
1824
01:07:29.410 --> 01:07:31.270
And then Christian's music hits
1825
01:07:31.730 --> 01:07:33.370
and he comes out separately.
1826
01:07:33.850 --> 01:07:35.430
Eventually they're gonna come out to one song.
1827
01:07:35.490 --> 01:07:37.390
Hopefully something different than Cope's song.
1828
01:07:38.730 --> 01:07:41.670
But they come out and Cope says the Bucks,
1829
01:07:41.850 --> 01:07:43.490
hey, I have a lot of respect for you guys.
1830
01:07:43.510 --> 01:07:45.250
You're too good to be defeated by a loss.
1831
01:07:45.570 --> 01:07:46.810
Tells them to hold their head high,
1832
01:07:46.870 --> 01:07:48.070
but he reminds them.
1833
01:07:48.570 --> 01:07:51.530
The Bucks also did him dirty personally,
1834
01:07:52.130 --> 01:07:54.050
and they hurt his wife.
1835
01:07:54.610 --> 01:07:57.330
And that she almost had to have neck fusion surgery,
1836
01:07:57.370 --> 01:07:58.850
which that was a great shout
1837
01:07:58.850 --> 01:08:01.110
because he did have so many neck fusion surgeries.
1838
01:08:01.210 --> 01:08:04.090
So it's even more real for him to say it, right?
1839
01:08:04.690 --> 01:08:06.730
And that once he found out they were in the clear
1840
01:08:06.730 --> 01:08:08.450
that he knew he had to come back.
1841
01:08:09.210 --> 01:08:11.730
I like that little bit of storytelling there.
1842
01:08:14.690 --> 01:08:17.050
And then basically he announced
1843
01:08:17.649 --> 01:08:20.510
that Copeland and Cage are gonna be wrestling FTR
1844
01:08:20.510 --> 01:08:23.790
for the tag titles at AEW dynasty in Vancouver.
1845
01:08:24.450 --> 01:08:27.069
In front of me, in front of me.
1846
01:08:27.109 --> 01:08:27.490
That's right.
1847
01:08:27.510 --> 01:08:29.109
I just wanna remind everybody, I'm gonna be there.
1848
01:08:29.430 --> 01:08:30.550
I might not have mentioned that.
1849
01:08:31.850 --> 01:08:34.210
But give me Kenny and MJF, you son of a bitch.
1850
01:08:34.569 --> 01:08:37.450
All right, but they're gonna be there.
1851
01:08:38.130 --> 01:08:39.550
And that's a great match.
1852
01:08:39.590 --> 01:08:40.250
That's a great shout.
1853
01:08:40.370 --> 01:08:41.010
I loved it.
1854
01:08:41.069 --> 01:08:43.330
FTR come out, Stokely's like, go get him.
1855
01:08:44.290 --> 01:08:45.910
Stokely can walk, brother.
1856
01:08:46.529 --> 01:08:47.450
He's been healed.
1857
01:08:48.890 --> 01:08:49.890
Yeah, where's his wheelchair?
1858
01:08:50.010 --> 01:08:51.290
I noticed that straight away.
1859
01:08:51.310 --> 01:08:56.170
Well, he was so motivated by his love for Cash and Dax
1860
01:08:56.569 --> 01:08:58.050
that during that match with the Young Bucks,
1861
01:08:58.069 --> 01:08:58.890
he just stood.
1862
01:09:00.330 --> 01:09:02.390
And you kind of can't go back after that.
1863
01:09:02.510 --> 01:09:03.010
You know what I mean?
1864
01:09:03.670 --> 01:09:07.550
Like, and Nick did the thing onto him
1865
01:09:07.550 --> 01:09:08.670
while he was in the wheelchair.
1866
01:09:09.410 --> 01:09:11.130
So I think he's realized there's disadvantages
1867
01:09:11.130 --> 01:09:12.090
to the wheelchair now,
1868
01:09:12.130 --> 01:09:14.130
especially since people know he can walk.
1869
01:09:14.750 --> 01:09:17.229
Now it just seems lazy, you know?
1870
01:09:18.890 --> 01:09:22.890
I love when people like Bobby Heenan or Stokely Hathaway
1871
01:09:22.890 --> 01:09:24.010
try to do sympathy please
1872
01:09:24.010 --> 01:09:26.390
because they're the least sympathetic people on earth.
1873
01:09:27.350 --> 01:09:28.590
Like, I don't care if you're in a wheelchair,
1874
01:09:28.609 --> 01:09:30.390
I'll still beat your ass.
1875
01:09:32.850 --> 01:09:34.670
Blurry Line 7 said, I said this before,
1876
01:09:34.689 --> 01:09:36.770
but I'm convinced Okada takes English lessons
1877
01:09:36.770 --> 01:09:38.630
solely to be more of a prick.
1878
01:09:39.670 --> 01:09:41.109
Yeah, absolutely.
1879
01:09:41.550 --> 01:09:43.210
I agree, I agree.
1880
01:09:43.210 --> 01:09:44.149
Always never.
1881
01:09:44.210 --> 01:09:45.470
I love the scapegoat character,
1882
01:09:45.510 --> 01:09:47.770
but seeing Jack find the perfect blend of both characters
1883
01:09:47.770 --> 01:09:48.930
is such a great thing to see.
1884
01:09:49.130 --> 01:09:51.029
Totally agree, totally.
1885
01:09:54.590 --> 01:09:55.850
Funky Boba Two Times says,
1886
01:09:55.950 --> 01:09:58.610
Young Bucks versus C&C Wrestling Factory versus FTR.
1887
01:09:59.630 --> 01:09:59.810
Woo!
1888
01:10:00.750 --> 01:10:02.770
Gonna make you sweat till you bleed.
1889
01:10:03.050 --> 01:10:04.950
Yeah, we're throwing back to C&C Music Factory.
1890
01:10:05.330 --> 01:10:06.190
That was a good shout.
1891
01:10:07.110 --> 01:10:09.530
I think they will have a three-way match at some point,
1892
01:10:09.530 --> 01:10:11.430
but I think all these teams are gonna face each other
1893
01:10:11.430 --> 01:10:12.490
individually first.
1894
01:10:13.210 --> 01:10:18.050
I suspect that Cage and Christian will,
1895
01:10:18.250 --> 01:10:21.570
or Cage and Copeland will win at dynasty.
1896
01:10:22.410 --> 01:10:24.970
And then I think they face the Bucks after that.
1897
01:10:24.970 --> 01:10:27.910
And then maybe at like all-in,
1898
01:10:28.090 --> 01:10:30.350
we get that triple threat match.
1899
01:10:31.510 --> 01:10:32.990
Yeah, that's where I was heading.
1900
01:10:33.450 --> 01:10:36.090
Yeah, the only way that I'm good with
1901
01:10:36.090 --> 01:10:38.150
these teams dominating the tag division
1902
01:10:38.150 --> 01:10:40.850
for another half year or year
1903
01:10:41.790 --> 01:10:47.970
is if everybody gets some kind of significant win
1904
01:10:47.970 --> 01:10:50.250
at some point in these matches.
1905
01:10:52.090 --> 01:10:56.770
And this is kind of the end of them being the wheel
1906
01:10:56.770 --> 01:10:57.950
for the entire division,
1907
01:10:58.270 --> 01:11:00.290
because they have a lot of good tag teams now.
1908
01:11:00.870 --> 01:11:05.650
Gates of Agony, they got the Rascals who are incredible.
1909
01:11:06.490 --> 01:11:10.170
Gates of Agony could be your future killers for years,
1910
01:11:11.810 --> 01:11:14.630
you've got the Busta and the Brain,
1911
01:11:15.490 --> 01:11:18.170
the Buster and the Brain, yeah, I think so.
1912
01:11:19.430 --> 01:11:20.790
Alec Price and Jordan Oliver,
1913
01:11:21.050 --> 01:11:23.450
you've got so many other teams
1914
01:11:23.450 --> 01:11:25.530
that you could bring up private party
1915
01:11:25.530 --> 01:11:28.050
if they wanna really invest in private party.
1916
01:11:29.570 --> 01:11:31.210
There's a lot of other tag teams
1917
01:11:31.210 --> 01:11:34.430
and they need to start getting put over by these teams
1918
01:11:35.030 --> 01:11:36.930
for them to really seem like
1919
01:11:36.930 --> 01:11:38.850
have that main event feel about them.
1920
01:11:38.850 --> 01:11:42.610
You know, so I wanna see the Bucks and FDR particularly,
1921
01:11:42.830 --> 01:11:45.710
but also I would love to see Copeland and Cage
1922
01:11:45.710 --> 01:11:47.450
put over some more teams too.
1923
01:11:49.330 --> 01:11:53.250
Yep, Blair Elyon says Stokely walks on the same day,
1924
01:11:53.450 --> 01:11:55.710
Ted DiBiase Jr. gets off fraud charges.
1925
01:11:56.070 --> 01:11:58.430
Truly an amazing day for grifters everywhere.
1926
01:12:01.150 --> 01:12:02.590
Thank you, thank you.
1927
01:12:02.590 --> 01:12:04.630
I saw that right before we started the show today
1928
01:12:04.630 --> 01:12:06.670
that Ted DiBiase Jr. was found not guilty
1929
01:12:06.670 --> 01:12:11.090
on all 13 counts of massive, massive fraud.
1930
01:12:12.330 --> 01:12:14.170
Last thing on the agenda today, folks,
1931
01:12:14.250 --> 01:12:15.830
let's talk about this Fresno crowd.
1932
01:12:16.870 --> 01:12:18.810
Now, the reason I wanna talk about this
1933
01:12:18.810 --> 01:12:21.950
is because I have been in crowds that were called bad
1934
01:12:22.390 --> 01:12:26.110
and I could tell you that in that place,
1935
01:12:26.370 --> 01:12:28.110
we were loud as fuck, all right?
1936
01:12:29.290 --> 01:12:32.130
So I only noticed, I'm only saying something
1937
01:12:32.130 --> 01:12:34.610
because I noticed so many people talking about this.
1938
01:12:35.710 --> 01:12:37.170
If you can't hear the crowd,
1939
01:12:37.390 --> 01:12:39.650
look at the crowd and don't listen, look.
1940
01:12:40.150 --> 01:12:41.250
If their mouths are moving,
1941
01:12:41.750 --> 01:12:45.310
the mic, they're being compressed out of the mix.
1942
01:12:45.970 --> 01:12:48.010
And that definitely seemed to be the case here.
1943
01:12:48.430 --> 01:12:49.430
And the way you could tell
1944
01:12:49.430 --> 01:12:50.830
is at the very end of the episode
1945
01:12:50.830 --> 01:12:53.610
when the Bucks and Cage and Copeland
1946
01:12:53.610 --> 01:12:54.690
were in the ring together,
1947
01:12:55.310 --> 01:12:56.550
the crowd's chanting, holy shit,
1948
01:12:56.550 --> 01:12:58.070
but it's barely coming through
1949
01:12:58.070 --> 01:13:00.830
and then you can hear it get squashed down again.
1950
01:13:02.070 --> 01:13:03.870
So for whatever reason,
1951
01:13:03.890 --> 01:13:08.330
they had the compression on super, super harsh, okay?
1952
01:13:08.710 --> 01:13:11.410
But I feel bad for the people of Fresno
1953
01:13:11.410 --> 01:13:13.050
because I don't think they were actually as bad
1954
01:13:13.050 --> 01:13:14.950
as people were saying they were.
1955
01:13:16.810 --> 01:13:18.930
So just, you know, like,
1956
01:13:19.030 --> 01:13:20.190
lest you be the next person
1957
01:13:20.190 --> 01:13:21.570
to be in a crowd that's called terrible,
1958
01:13:22.570 --> 01:13:25.130
remember this day, remember this day.
1959
01:13:25.690 --> 01:13:27.090
They came across bad on TV,
1960
01:13:27.130 --> 01:13:28.430
but I've seen some of Cage's videos
1961
01:13:28.430 --> 01:13:30.010
and they were definitely loud in person.
1962
01:13:30.730 --> 01:13:32.450
Very, very much the case, K-Fape.
1963
01:13:32.490 --> 01:13:33.970
K was there.
1964
01:13:35.090 --> 01:13:37.990
She very bitterly contests this notion
1965
01:13:37.990 --> 01:13:39.790
that they were a bad crowd.
1966
01:13:40.830 --> 01:13:45.090
I was in a Dynamite crowd last year,
1967
01:13:45.450 --> 01:13:47.910
went on Blue Sky, just feeling like,
1968
01:13:48.010 --> 01:13:49.950
oh my God, we did the Kyle thing,
1969
01:13:50.010 --> 01:13:52.850
you know, let's go Kyle, let's go Kyle.
1970
01:13:53.770 --> 01:13:55.690
We started that, okay?
1971
01:13:56.830 --> 01:13:58.790
And we thought we were so great.
1972
01:13:58.790 --> 01:14:00.130
And then I came back and on Blue Sky,
1973
01:14:00.210 --> 01:14:01.590
they were saying, what a shitty crowd we were.
1974
01:14:01.890 --> 01:14:05.210
It was like, come on, come on, come on.
1975
01:14:06.830 --> 01:14:09.330
They're really good at the pay-per-views with it though.
1976
01:14:09.770 --> 01:14:11.890
Like the crowd always comes through in the pay-per-views.
1977
01:14:11.910 --> 01:14:15.010
Sometimes on Dynamite, they just, little too-
1978
01:14:15.010 --> 01:14:16.830
They've got to sort it out for Dynamite and Collision,
1979
01:14:17.030 --> 01:14:18.630
especially Dynamite, I'd say, yeah.
1980
01:14:18.850 --> 01:14:20.270
Yeah, because Collision, especially,
1981
01:14:20.350 --> 01:14:21.830
they're usually double tapings now.
1982
01:14:21.830 --> 01:14:23.530
And I think that a lot of the crowd
1983
01:14:23.530 --> 01:14:25.510
is kind of either tired out
1984
01:14:25.510 --> 01:14:28.170
or they're starting to leave, some of them.
1985
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:29.910
Which is a bummer,
1986
01:14:30.190 --> 01:14:32.350
but I just don't think they can draw it
1987
01:14:32.350 --> 01:14:34.210
doing Collision as a separate show.
1988
01:14:35.370 --> 01:14:37.450
I think the U.S. economy is really not good
1989
01:14:37.450 --> 01:14:39.750
and people are holding onto their money right now.
1990
01:14:40.190 --> 01:14:42.310
So it really doesn't make sense
1991
01:14:42.870 --> 01:14:44.670
to do them as two separate shows.
1992
01:14:45.410 --> 01:14:48.290
I am going to Dynasty and then that next Wednesday,
1993
01:14:48.290 --> 01:14:50.150
I will be in Everett, Washington
1994
01:14:50.150 --> 01:14:53.190
for Dynamite and Collision, so.
1995
01:14:53.990 --> 01:14:54.370
Yeah.
1996
01:14:55.490 --> 01:14:56.550
Let me ask you in a bad,
1997
01:14:56.550 --> 01:14:58.670
have you gotten tickets to All In yet?
1998
01:15:00.370 --> 01:15:02.230
Unfortunately, I can't go this year,
1999
01:15:02.230 --> 01:15:05.490
but I did go 2023 and 2024 to Wembley.
2000
01:15:06.170 --> 01:15:07.890
I'm going to hold out a hope
2001
01:15:07.890 --> 01:15:11.430
that they'll do Dynamite and Collision
2002
01:15:11.430 --> 01:15:13.430
like they did last year, like Manchester,
2003
01:15:14.030 --> 01:15:16.430
or hopefully Birmingham would be ideal for me
2004
01:15:16.430 --> 01:15:17.210
being in the Midlands.
2005
01:15:18.750 --> 01:15:20.390
Yeah, hopefully if there's a Dynamite
2006
01:15:20.390 --> 01:15:23.050
or sort of Collision around November time,
2007
01:15:23.090 --> 01:15:24.170
like last year, I think it was,
2008
01:15:24.370 --> 01:15:25.470
before on the lead up to Christmas,
2009
01:15:25.470 --> 01:15:26.430
that would be good.
2010
01:15:26.590 --> 01:15:28.990
But unfortunately, not able to do All In this year,
2011
01:15:30.130 --> 01:15:31.710
but Wembley was fantastic to be fair
2012
01:15:31.710 --> 01:15:33.110
the two years I've been so far.
2013
01:15:33.810 --> 01:15:34.430
Yeah, absolutely.
2014
01:15:34.750 --> 01:15:37.070
I wanted to do Texas last year
2015
01:15:37.070 --> 01:15:40.710
and I just couldn't get it together financially and stuff.
2016
01:15:41.070 --> 01:15:43.430
And, you know, I mean, you're a family man
2017
01:15:43.430 --> 01:15:44.190
of all things.
2018
01:15:44.270 --> 01:15:45.850
I mean, you got a lot of things to consider here,
2019
01:15:45.850 --> 01:15:47.630
you know, these shows are expensive.
2020
01:15:49.270 --> 01:15:50.910
On the day on All In this year
2021
01:15:50.910 --> 01:15:52.870
is actually my daughter's birthday.
2022
01:15:52.870 --> 01:15:56.090
So unfortunately I can't do the wrestling on that day.
2023
01:15:56.210 --> 01:15:59.910
So your daughter's birthday trumps All In.
2024
01:16:00.090 --> 01:16:01.370
It does actually, yeah.
2025
01:16:01.710 --> 01:16:02.130
It does.
2026
01:16:02.270 --> 01:16:04.350
That's having your priorities correct is what that is.
2027
01:16:04.690 --> 01:16:05.430
And that's a not-
2028
01:16:05.430 --> 01:16:07.030
My wife has already told me.
2029
01:16:07.110 --> 01:16:08.890
Yes, like don't even think about it, pal.
2030
01:16:09.310 --> 01:16:10.270
Don't even think- Yep.
2031
01:16:14.790 --> 01:16:15.750
Blair Lyon says,
2032
01:16:15.750 --> 01:16:17.990
I'm also not going because 80,000 people
2033
01:16:17.990 --> 01:16:19.570
is too many humans to be around.
2034
01:16:20.130 --> 01:16:20.890
Yeah. I understand.
2035
01:16:20.910 --> 01:16:21.690
I understand.
2036
01:16:22.990 --> 01:16:26.010
I'm not the most outgoing people person,
2037
01:16:26.010 --> 01:16:29.530
but I can definitely respect that
2038
01:16:29.530 --> 01:16:32.150
because at Wembley with that many people
2039
01:16:32.150 --> 01:16:34.610
and you get in your seats and everything,
2040
01:16:34.610 --> 01:16:36.450
it can be overwhelming to be fair.
2041
01:16:36.710 --> 01:16:38.350
Yeah. If you're feeling a bit anxious or something.
2042
01:16:38.610 --> 01:16:39.270
Yeah, absolutely.
2043
01:16:39.670 --> 01:16:40.790
Totally, totally.
2044
01:16:41.390 --> 01:16:42.590
Always never says it's odd.
2045
01:16:42.730 --> 01:16:45.090
It's like AEW is just so built for larger arenas
2046
01:16:45.090 --> 01:16:46.430
in regards to their sound production.
2047
01:16:46.810 --> 01:16:48.630
Sometimes the weekly shows sound a little off,
2048
01:16:48.650 --> 01:16:49.950
especially with the entrance themes.
2049
01:16:50.590 --> 01:16:52.570
You know, there's so many things they have improved
2050
01:16:53.430 --> 01:16:55.610
and it used to be that they missed
2051
01:16:55.610 --> 01:16:57.950
a lot of camera cuts or whatever.
2052
01:16:58.230 --> 01:17:02.490
It was kind of an LOL production situation there.
2053
01:17:03.030 --> 01:17:06.470
And then Mike Mansoury came in and took over
2054
01:17:06.470 --> 01:17:08.290
and it seemed like all of that was gonna go away
2055
01:17:08.290 --> 01:17:09.290
overnight and it didn't.
2056
01:17:09.410 --> 01:17:12.530
And then he's really gotten so many things dialed in
2057
01:17:13.210 --> 01:17:14.830
in the time he's been there.
2058
01:17:15.510 --> 01:17:17.110
But the sound sometimes can be,
2059
01:17:17.110 --> 01:17:18.570
yeah, it can be a little bit off.
2060
01:17:19.710 --> 01:17:21.610
But I think also modern production
2061
01:17:21.610 --> 01:17:24.910
is just kind of not very dynamic.
2062
01:17:26.270 --> 01:17:27.930
Even the way music is produced right now
2063
01:17:27.930 --> 01:17:28.870
is not very dynamic.
2064
01:17:29.070 --> 01:17:31.770
It's all, everything's flat in the same volume.
2065
01:17:32.070 --> 01:17:34.630
So like, it's hard for things to really pop
2066
01:17:34.630 --> 01:17:37.390
because everything's compressed so much, you know?
2067
01:17:38.590 --> 01:17:41.090
Speaking of the sort of,
2068
01:17:41.110 --> 01:17:43.110
with like the main shows,
2069
01:17:43.290 --> 01:17:44.810
like your Dynamites, Collision and stuff,
2070
01:17:45.110 --> 01:17:46.750
another thing I've noticed when I,
2071
01:17:46.750 --> 01:17:49.890
well, before I switched from Triller to my AEW recently
2072
01:17:49.890 --> 01:17:52.530
was at the start of the show,
2073
01:17:52.970 --> 01:17:55.530
they'd sometimes miss out the entrance and go to the ring
2074
01:17:55.530 --> 01:17:57.710
and then you'd get to the end of the episode
2075
01:17:57.710 --> 01:17:59.470
and then there's the entrance to music.
2076
01:18:00.110 --> 01:18:01.930
Really strange how that works sometimes.
2077
01:18:01.930 --> 01:18:03.570
I don't know if it works like on HBO Max,
2078
01:18:03.730 --> 01:18:05.830
but yeah, really odd.
2079
01:18:05.890 --> 01:18:09.110
They used to do that on Triller sometimes.
2080
01:18:09.110 --> 01:18:10.370
Yeah, Triller, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2081
01:18:10.450 --> 01:18:11.430
They would do that there.
2082
01:18:11.690 --> 01:18:14.230
On my AEW's fine, hasn't happened, perfect.
2083
01:18:14.390 --> 01:18:15.970
But on Triller, when I had that,
2084
01:18:16.030 --> 01:18:17.990
it used to do that all the time, really weird.
2085
01:18:17.990 --> 01:18:20.950
It's done it on HBO Max once or twice
2086
01:18:20.950 --> 01:18:25.230
where it starts over or the very beginning of the episode
2087
01:18:26.230 --> 01:18:28.650
because HBO Max, at least on Roku,
2088
01:18:28.970 --> 01:18:31.470
is kind of a buggy app where it,
2089
01:18:33.210 --> 01:18:35.570
like I'll just have the sound get really quiet
2090
01:18:35.570 --> 01:18:36.350
in the middle of the show
2091
01:18:36.350 --> 01:18:38.510
and if I get out and get back in, it's fine.
2092
01:18:39.170 --> 01:18:40.310
It's just super weird.
2093
01:18:40.870 --> 01:18:43.730
Like one time I turned my TV way up
2094
01:18:44.250 --> 01:18:46.050
and then I'm like, fuck, this doesn't sound right.
2095
01:18:46.050 --> 01:18:48.330
So I got out, but I forgot to turn the TV back down.
2096
01:18:48.650 --> 01:18:50.830
And so when I came back in, it blew,
2097
01:18:51.010 --> 01:18:52.770
I mean, like, I was like, holy shit,
2098
01:18:52.790 --> 01:18:54.110
the dog got up and ran away.
2099
01:18:54.210 --> 01:18:56.730
Like it was just, yeah, yeah, it was just wild.
2100
01:18:59.130 --> 01:19:00.010
So, okay.
2101
01:19:00.550 --> 01:19:03.830
So can AEW please get better live monitoring
2102
01:19:03.830 --> 01:19:04.670
to music performers?
2103
01:19:04.870 --> 01:19:06.450
No, I don't think so.
2104
01:19:06.470 --> 01:19:08.890
I think that that is a part of their deal
2105
01:19:08.890 --> 01:19:10.910
is remember the poor drummer guy
2106
01:19:10.910 --> 01:19:13.550
who played Swerve to the Ring live one time
2107
01:19:13.550 --> 01:19:15.790
and he got so hideously off beat
2108
01:19:15.790 --> 01:19:16.950
because he couldn't hear himself
2109
01:19:16.950 --> 01:19:18.790
or he couldn't hear what he was playing to.
2110
01:19:19.230 --> 01:19:20.150
Oh, so bad.
2111
01:19:20.510 --> 01:19:22.150
It was, I think that was actually
2112
01:19:22.150 --> 01:19:23.790
that Hangman match at all out
2113
01:19:24.970 --> 01:19:26.630
because it was a big moment for Swerve.
2114
01:19:26.750 --> 01:19:27.790
He got played to the ring
2115
01:19:27.790 --> 01:19:29.850
by this drummer guy drumming to his music,
2116
01:19:29.850 --> 01:19:32.090
but the guy could not hear what he was playing to.
2117
01:19:32.310 --> 01:19:33.530
And he got so off beat.
2118
01:19:33.530 --> 01:19:36.850
And this is obviously a good drummer, you know?
2119
01:19:37.230 --> 01:19:38.230
But he sounded incompetent.
2120
01:19:38.230 --> 01:19:39.550
If you can't hear yourself drumming
2121
01:19:39.550 --> 01:19:43.850
and then, yeah, it's just, yeah, shame for him.
2122
01:19:44.710 --> 01:19:46.550
Hangman's poor trumpet man had no monitors,
2123
01:19:46.550 --> 01:19:47.750
I don't think, and it kind of sounded,
2124
01:19:47.750 --> 01:19:48.510
it sounded kind of rough.
2125
01:19:48.710 --> 01:19:49.890
You know what that was, blurry line,
2126
01:19:50.010 --> 01:19:52.630
is they didn't take the trumpet out of the original mix
2127
01:19:52.630 --> 01:19:54.050
of the song he was playing to.
2128
01:19:54.630 --> 01:19:55.670
And so when you,
2129
01:19:55.990 --> 01:19:57.650
no matter how many times you do something,
2130
01:19:58.070 --> 01:20:00.230
you can never do it exactly the same twice.
2131
01:20:00.350 --> 01:20:02.090
It's just the rule of audio.
2132
01:20:02.490 --> 01:20:04.890
That's why double-tracked vocals sound so particular.
2133
01:20:05.230 --> 01:20:07.170
It's like two of you singing,
2134
01:20:07.170 --> 01:20:09.450
but the reason that there's like a little dissonance
2135
01:20:09.450 --> 01:20:11.670
between your voice is because you can never do it
2136
01:20:11.670 --> 01:20:12.750
exactly the same again.
2137
01:20:12.750 --> 01:20:16.290
And so that's what was happening with the trumpet,
2138
01:20:16.990 --> 01:20:19.450
is he sounded almost a bit off
2139
01:20:20.330 --> 01:20:22.190
because the trumpet was still coming through
2140
01:20:22.190 --> 01:20:23.830
in the original mix of the song.
2141
01:20:24.030 --> 01:20:26.390
And I would recommend they don't do that.
2142
01:20:26.710 --> 01:20:28.130
Obviously Downstraight were awful.
2143
01:20:28.330 --> 01:20:29.670
I think AEW has only had a couple
2144
01:20:29.670 --> 01:20:31.010
of decent sounding music performances.
2145
01:20:31.390 --> 01:20:33.310
I think JoJo doing Chaka Khan was good.
2146
01:20:33.330 --> 01:20:35.750
Rancid were good, true, very true.
2147
01:20:36.310 --> 01:20:37.750
The Scared Low, my wife and I were at
2148
01:20:37.750 --> 01:20:38.570
Double or Nothing in Vegas
2149
01:20:38.570 --> 01:20:40.590
when Gangrel appeared in the Cage match.
2150
01:20:40.590 --> 01:20:43.690
I selfishly want to see a full-on brood situation
2151
01:20:43.690 --> 01:20:45.250
in this storyline at some point.
2152
01:20:45.290 --> 01:20:46.450
Give me Gangrel and Blood.
2153
01:20:46.730 --> 01:20:49.210
As a fellow Gangrel, Mark, I say yes.
2154
01:20:49.370 --> 01:20:50.110
Let's do it.
2155
01:20:50.650 --> 01:20:51.750
Let's do it.
2156
01:20:53.270 --> 01:20:54.230
Fuck you, mama, two times.
2157
01:20:54.290 --> 01:20:56.570
HBO Max on my Amazon cuts the main event.
2158
01:20:56.690 --> 01:20:57.970
What the fuck?
2159
01:20:58.470 --> 01:20:59.850
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
2160
01:20:59.850 --> 01:21:00.530
That's bad.
2161
01:21:00.570 --> 01:21:00.950
Not good.
2162
01:21:01.270 --> 01:21:01.850
That is bad.
2163
01:21:02.230 --> 01:21:04.430
HBO, by the way, you guys shit the bed
2164
01:21:05.650 --> 01:21:07.270
on the night of the pay-per-view.
2165
01:21:07.350 --> 01:21:08.610
I said it in the last episode,
2166
01:21:08.610 --> 01:21:09.550
but it was so bad.
2167
01:21:09.810 --> 01:21:10.510
I'm saying it again.
2168
01:21:10.990 --> 01:21:16.230
They literally just didn't air the zero hour at all.
2169
01:21:16.390 --> 01:21:17.790
After saying for the entire week,
2170
01:21:17.870 --> 01:21:21.070
and we'll present on HBO Max free to max subscribers,
2171
01:21:21.070 --> 01:21:22.470
you're gonna get the zero hour.
2172
01:21:22.610 --> 01:21:23.930
We were all watching on YouTube.
2173
01:21:24.110 --> 01:21:25.690
We didn't even know if the fucking pay-per-view
2174
01:21:25.690 --> 01:21:28.970
was gonna come on that we paid for, you know?
2175
01:21:28.970 --> 01:21:32.490
And then for some people it didn't, HBO Max.
2176
01:21:34.330 --> 01:21:35.530
That's not good.
2177
01:21:35.890 --> 01:21:37.370
Nope, for shame, for shame.
2178
01:21:39.710 --> 01:21:40.650
Lastly, BlairLine7 says,
2179
01:21:40.790 --> 01:21:42.230
Gangrel is always gonna be up for it too.
2180
01:21:42.550 --> 01:21:43.950
Absolutely, absolutely.
2181
01:21:44.190 --> 01:21:46.350
So kids, let's just recap a little bit.
2182
01:21:47.910 --> 01:21:49.730
You're gonna go to sickosclub.com.
2183
01:21:49.950 --> 01:21:51.130
You're gonna go to the merch store,
2184
01:21:51.370 --> 01:21:53.950
sickosclub.com backslash shop,
2185
01:21:54.850 --> 01:21:55.750
or is it backslash merch?
2186
01:21:55.810 --> 01:21:56.390
It's one of those.
2187
01:21:56.610 --> 01:21:57.930
There's also a shop link on the website.
2188
01:21:58.230 --> 01:22:00.030

2189

01:22:16.970 --> 01:22:17.430
or something.
2199
01:22:17.430 --> 01:22:19.630
I know, nobody likes to write anymore.
2200
01:22:20.830 --> 01:22:22.530
But you're doing it for me.
2201
01:22:23.350 --> 01:22:24.450
Doing it for the blade.
2202
01:22:25.210 --> 01:22:26.050
So do that.
2203
01:22:26.570 --> 01:22:28.990
And if you're watching this on YouTube,
2204
01:22:29.070 --> 01:22:30.850

Everybody says the same shit.
2211
01:22:42.410 --> 01:22:43.090
Because we have to,
2212
01:22:43.170 --> 01:22:44.650
because that's literally what you have to do.
2213
01:22:45.390 --> 01:22:45.830
Anyway,
