Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out Ep. 102
Kenny Omega vs MJF Is ON | Dynamite Fallout, Swerve Loss & Dynasty Card Explodes
AEW Dynamite felt like a full-on Kenny Omega takeover, and the fallout is already reshaping the road to AEW Dynasty. On this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily is joined by returning guest Books and Bodyslams to break down Omega’s huge win over Swerve Strickland and the pair of standout segments that made this a defining night for “The God of Pro Wrestling.” The biggest development? MJF accepting Kenny Omega’s challenge for the AEW World Championship, officially locking in one of the most anticipated matches AEW can deliver. The crew digs into what this means for the title picture, whether Omega is on the verge of another historic run, and how Swerve rebounds after a major loss.
Beyond the main event, AEW Dynasty is shaping up to be one of the most stacked cards of the year. With Jon Moxley vs Will Ospreay now confirmed, Cage & Cope vs FTR already announced, and a noticeably more aggressive Mina Shirakawa turning heads, AEW is loading this show with high-stakes matchups across the board. The episode covers all the key developments from Dynamite, explores early Dynasty predictions, and leans into the chaos, momentum, and unpredictability that continue to define AEW in 2026. If you’re looking for a sharp, energetic breakdown of AEW Dynamite results, Kenny Omega vs MJF hype, and everything building toward Dynasty, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:02.900
Sicko's Club.
2
00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:03.560
Sicko's Club.
3
00:00:06.670 --> 00:00:07.470
Hey, come here.
4
00:00:08.090 --> 00:00:09.210
You like pro wrestling?
5
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:11.650
We got a little something-something for you.
6
00:00:11.930 --> 00:00:14.270
Two fans, 3,000 miles away.
7
00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:17.170
We've each been watching for more than 30 years.
8
00:00:17.610 --> 00:00:18.850
Celebrate the art form.
9
00:00:20.930 --> 00:00:22.670
The homoeroticism.
10
00:00:23.230 --> 00:00:24.370
We hate great magic.
11
00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:26.350
We hate analyzing stories.
12
00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:27.910
We hate experts.
13
00:00:28.630 --> 00:00:32.850
We just sit down, shut up, and mark.
14
00:00:38.190 --> 00:00:39.010
Oh, everybody.
15
00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:42.410
This is playing goddamn daily once again.
16
00:00:42.650 --> 00:00:47.450
Joining you for another episode of Sit Down, Shut Up, Marko.
17
00:00:48.430 --> 00:00:50.690
And fresh from a time out.
18
00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:56.490
I am joined by the ever boastful Books and Body Slams.
19
00:00:56.570 --> 00:00:58.030
Books, welcome back.
20
00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:00.450
Thank you for having me.
21
00:01:00.470 --> 00:01:02.950
I promise not to be too insufferable today.
22
00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:08.520
Well, you straight up promised me last night
23
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:10.260
that you would be insufferable.
24
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:11.540
Oh, so now I can be insufferable.
25
00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:14.400
Well, I mean, now it's false advertising
26
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.740
because that was the title of the livestream.
27
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:17.300
I said books will be insufferable.
28
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.160
So I'll be a nice, healthy mix of insufferable
29
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:21.280
and not too annoying.
30
00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:23.180
Yeah, yeah.
31
00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:26.360
Just trying not to peak your microphone too much,
32
00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:28.280
you know, out of excitement.
33
00:01:29.220 --> 00:01:31.340
I've already scared the dog enough.
34
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.880
Yeah, we'll take it from there.
35
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:34.240
I've got my screams out.
36
00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:35.660
We'll take it from there.
37
00:01:35.660 --> 00:01:37.580
Folks, do you remember the sickies,
38
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.540
the awards that the Sickos Club was putting together?
39
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:41.020
No?
40
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:44.180
Well, let me remind you, we had them on social media.
41
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:45.660
We asked you to vote for them.
42
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:46.280
You did.
43
00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:47.900
We have winners figured out,
44
00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:51.340
and we are filming our very special presentation
45
00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:54.840
of the sickies as I say this, okay?
46
00:01:54.940 --> 00:01:56.660
Probably not because I'm producing it.
47
00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:00.260
But after this, no, I'm actually producing
48
00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:01.440
this podcast after this.
49
00:02:01.700 --> 00:02:03.540
But after I produce this podcast
50
00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:04.980
and you're listening to it,
51
00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:07.920
and it's not live, I'll be working on the sickies.
52
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:09.880
I still have an issue with the sickies.
53
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.220
Yes, and we will address it at the sickies books.
54
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:14.700
Fine.
55
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:16.080
Is it related to Kenny Omega?
56
00:02:17.140 --> 00:02:17.540
Yes.
57
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.900
Okay, yes, we will address it then.
58
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:21.980
We will address it then.
59
00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:25.060
I'm just asking you to address it then.
60
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:26.280
Okay.
61
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:26.860
All right.
62
00:02:26.980 --> 00:02:28.400
I'll make it a part of my thing.
63
00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:29.340
Yep, yep.
64
00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:31.260
A part of your thing, yes.
65
00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:34.340
So make sure if you're not already
66
00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:37.120
that you subscribe to us here on YouTube.
67
00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:39.440
Make sure you subscribe to the Sicko's Club channel
68
00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:42.540
because that's where the award ceremony is going to air.
69
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.420
Make sure you subscribe to sit down, shut up, mark out
70
00:02:46.420 --> 00:02:49.220
YouTube channel because we're trying to grow this place.
71
00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:51.260
Again, I want to do a bunch of bonus streams.
72
00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:54.000
I want to make our presence here bigger
73
00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:57.000
and do more stuff here because it's a lot of fun.
74
00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:01.440
I am working on more shorts that are created specifically
75
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:03.960
to be shorts and other bonus content for everyone.
76
00:03:04.220 --> 00:03:07.240
Like I said, let me know what kind of bonus content
77
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.860
do you guys want from sit down, shut up, mark out.
78
00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:12.500
So books, I told you to let me queue you up
79
00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:14.020
and you've done a great job so far.
80
00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:17.040
So it was a very Kenny Omega centric episode
81
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:18.120
of Dynamite for once.
82
00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:19.680
Yes, it was.
83
00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:21.520
And as a result, this is going to be a very
84
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.540
Kenny centric episode of sit down, shut up, mark out.
85
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.060
Books, let me ask you a question
86
00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:27.500
and I know you know the answer to this.
87
00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:29.180
Who's my favorite wrestler?
88
00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:31.860
Kenny.
89
00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:32.900
It's Kenny Omega.
90
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.800
And despite your allegiance to the look,
91
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:38.320
Kenny just made a mistake with Don.
92
00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:40.120
He just disrespected Don.
93
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.060
That's all.
94
00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:42.260
That's all I'm saying.
95
00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:44.260
Like Kenny obviously was in the wrong.
96
00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:46.300
He refused to apologize.
97
00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:48.440
So Don had to take action into his own hands
98
00:03:48.440 --> 00:03:50.200
and now he's taking action into his own hands
99
00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:51.480
with everybody's come after him
100
00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:53.140
because Don learned valuable lesson from Kenny.
101
00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:55.660
Can't let him get too far ahead of themselves.
102
00:03:55.700 --> 00:03:56.240
You know what I mean?
103
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.200
They start saying stuff like I don't need you anymore.
104
00:03:58.200 --> 00:03:59.400
So you stab him with a screwdriver.
105
00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:00.400
It's very simple.
106
00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:01.460
It's very simple.
107
00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:02.420
It's just capitalism.
108
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.960
It was very Kenny centric episode and we'll get to that.
109
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.660
But we're also going to be talking about the
110
00:04:08.660 --> 00:04:10.320
already packed dynasty card.
111
00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:13.300
Tekla signing an extension before the first year
112
00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:15.460
of her two year deal even elapsed.
113
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.670
Mina Shirakawa stepping up and grabbing her opportunity
114
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.720
to become a main eventer.
115
00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:24.380
And Proto Sheeta being totally fine.
116
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:26.960
Totally fine.
117
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.380
There's definitely nothing wrong with Proto Sheeta.
118
00:04:30.380 --> 00:04:33.080
But books, you've been waiting for your opportunity
119
00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:35.460
so patiently to unrelentingly gloat.
120
00:04:36.340 --> 00:04:37.300
So let's get right to it.
121
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:38.600
Let me cue this up for you.
122
00:04:39.640 --> 00:04:42.480
AEW bounced back huge from a little less.
123
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:43.580
I would say it was a little less
124
00:04:43.580 --> 00:04:45.540
in Stellar Dynamite and Fresno last week.
125
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:47.180
It was wild to see so many people
126
00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:48.960
ragging on the audience when the same crowd
127
00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:52.480
with less people was actually very loud during collision.
128
00:04:52.820 --> 00:04:54.620
So obviously they were probably
129
00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:56.660
overly gated during the live show.
130
00:04:57.440 --> 00:04:59.940
So I actually got an answer on that.
131
00:04:59.940 --> 00:05:00.340
Yeah.
132
00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:01.980
Our friend was there.
133
00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:02.280
Yes.
134
00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:05.100
And she said they had to mute the crowd
135
00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:08.220
because of fans right under the hard cam
136
00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:10.220
that were being obnoxious.
137
00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:11.460
Yeah, I'm sure that's true.
138
00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:13.920
And I, you know, at the end of the day,
139
00:05:14.140 --> 00:05:15.360
they were allowed for collision.
140
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.120
So, I mean, I don't think it was really the crowd.
141
00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:21.560
I think this dynamite as well just wasn't Stellar last week.
142
00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:24.300
It was like a recovery episode
143
00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:25.660
and everybody who didn't get injured
144
00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:27.940
at Revolution wrestled on the show.
145
00:05:27.940 --> 00:05:31.960
You know, I do think that's mostly what it was.
146
00:05:32.140 --> 00:05:36.760
And that's okay for a post post pay-per-view.
147
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.160
Yes. Yes.
148
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.220
And it is okay.
149
00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:41.620
It's okay that they didn't have the greatest fucking
150
00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:43.580
dynamite in the history of dynamites
151
00:05:43.580 --> 00:05:45.080
like they do every other week.
152
00:05:45.460 --> 00:05:48.160
So that was corrected this week though,
153
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.800
because this dynamite was fucking all gas, no breaks.
154
00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:53.560
I didn't have a very good day yesterday
155
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.080
for a number of different reasons
156
00:05:55.940 --> 00:06:00.440
and wasn't even as excited as I would normally be
157
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:03.000
knowing that I'm going to see Kenny versus Swerve
158
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.900
and it's going to kick off the goddamn show.
159
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.500
I was just kind of ho hum and then it started
160
00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:10.200
and I was like, wait, what the fuck was I thinking?
161
00:06:10.260 --> 00:06:11.000
This is awesome.
162
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.700
So like I said, last week, not as meaningful.
163
00:06:13.900 --> 00:06:15.420
It had just a couple of significant moments
164
00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:17.640
and one of them was during the overrun at the end
165
00:06:17.640 --> 00:06:21.400
with the Bucks and Cage and Christian and FTR
166
00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:23.580
and Mina killing Tony.
167
00:06:23.580 --> 00:06:26.500
I mean, Tony Storm being attacked.
168
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.080
It may not be Mina.
169
00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:31.140
It may be a certain dentist.
170
00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:31.860
Okay.
171
00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:34.180
It'd be a great way to bring her back.
172
00:06:34.460 --> 00:06:35.860
That would be like ideal.
173
00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:38.240
Well, TK was like, fuck all that fam
174
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.260
and he put together one hell of a show this week
175
00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:42.580
and we kicked off with Kenny Omega versus
176
00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:46.160
Swerve Strickland with limited commercial interruptions.
177
00:06:47.020 --> 00:06:48.820
And obviously it's a great match,
178
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.140
played off a lot of the stuff they did in their first match,
179
00:06:51.140 --> 00:06:55.040
which is how you have an all time series between people is,
180
00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:57.580
you call back to the moments from the first match
181
00:06:57.580 --> 00:06:59.560
and the outcome's slightly different.
182
00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:01.820
Once again, Swerve grabbed Aubrey,
183
00:07:01.940 --> 00:07:03.920
but she was like more resistant to him,
184
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.060
but he still managed to get a dick kick in on Kennedy.
185
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.560
Lots of little good callbacks like that.
186
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.720
No Aubrey taking a fucking V trigger in this match.
187
00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:17.600
But I love those in-ring storytelling flourishes.
188
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:18.680
Kenny's so good at it.
189
00:07:18.700 --> 00:07:19.780
Swerve's so good at that.
190
00:07:21.080 --> 00:07:23.900
And shockingly, just like a super clean finish.
191
00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:28.960
Like, Kenny just beat him.
192
00:07:29.320 --> 00:07:31.420
He beat him with the one-winged angel.
193
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.320
He one-winged angels his butt.
194
00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:35.340
The end.
195
00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:36.600
The end.
196
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:37.400
That was it.
197
00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:38.080
That was a match.
198
00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:38.600
Kenny wins.
199
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.540
Did you notice Kenny's gear by chance?
200
00:07:41.760 --> 00:07:42.200
Yes.
201
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:43.060
Yes.
202
00:07:43.580 --> 00:07:45.920
Do you think that was Dobby tribute gear?
203
00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:50.240
It was 100% Dobby, because the front was Dobby's collar.
204
00:07:51.460 --> 00:07:51.780
Yes.
205
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:52.200
Okay.
206
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:52.880
Okay.
207
00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:55.060
And he had a little cat paw on his butt.
208
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.020
Because when I turned it on, I was like,
209
00:07:57.020 --> 00:07:59.600
what's Kenny doing right now with the tights?
210
00:07:59.700 --> 00:08:02.920
And then, you know.
211
00:08:03.820 --> 00:08:05.180
That's how you knew he was going to win.
212
00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:08.340
Kfabe K was like, I think he's wearing Dobby tribute gear.
213
00:08:08.440 --> 00:08:09.120
She texts me.
214
00:08:09.220 --> 00:08:10.760
I think that's Dobby tribute gear.
215
00:08:11.140 --> 00:08:12.680
And then she sent me a picture of Dobby,
216
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:14.400
and I was like, yes, that is Dobby tribute gear.
217
00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:16.040
That is absolutely Dobby tribute gear.
218
00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:20.180
When you wear your animal on your gear,
219
00:08:20.320 --> 00:08:21.340
it's a sure firewood.
220
00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:24.820
Because it's animals.
221
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.980
So before you get into your gloating,
222
00:08:27.260 --> 00:08:28.640
let's read a few comments.
223
00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:32.299
Books has to match Kenny and walk the line of being a baby face,
224
00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:34.100
but somewhat insufferable at the same time.
225
00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:36.280
It is a superpower of Kenny's.
226
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.000
I think that's true.
227
00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:38.960
Blow your line.
228
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.080
What's this?
229
00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:42.360
Blade wants to be a big time influencer.
230
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.679
It's his life's dream.
231
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:45.560
Yeah.
232
00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:46.160
Don't we all?
233
00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:46.720
It is.
234
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:47.100
It is.
235
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:48.240
Like I want to,
236
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.580
I want to sell lifestyle brands and stuff like that.
237
00:08:50.660 --> 00:08:53.860
Blurry line out and Kenny had his nips out three different times in this
238
00:08:53.860 --> 00:08:54.400
episode.
239
00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:55.280
Very Kenny.
240
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:56.640
It was great.
241
00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:57.800
It was very nippley.
242
00:08:57.800 --> 00:08:59.020
Kenny show.
243
00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:01.080
The harem was very happy.
244
00:09:01.900 --> 00:09:02.160
The hair.
245
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:02.720
Yes.
246
00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:04.700
And the church of Omega, I assume.
247
00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:06.060
Antoine.
248
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:07.160
Hey, Antoine.
249
00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:09.340
All hail Don Callis.
250
00:09:10.020 --> 00:09:10.880
Representing Balz.
251
00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:11.560
Now look,
252
00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:15.620
we live in a very negative world just in general.
253
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.860
And AEW is a refuge for so many,
254
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:20.700
but if you happen to be a bald person watching AEW,
255
00:09:20.900 --> 00:09:22.100
you don't even get that.
256
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:22.580
Okay.
257
00:09:22.780 --> 00:09:24.540
They're like always chanting bald at people.
258
00:09:25.020 --> 00:09:26.720
Like do bald people not know they're bald?
259
00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:28.740
So I stay in with the balds.
260
00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:30.620
People think I wear these hats cause I'm bald,
261
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:31.520
but I'm not bald.
262
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.500
See, here's my hair.
263
00:09:32.540 --> 00:09:33.640
It just doesn't look very good.
264
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.900
And I don't like to have to fuck with it before the show.
265
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:36.980
So I wear a hat.
266
00:09:37.380 --> 00:09:38.500
So I'm definitely not bald,
267
00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:42.420
but I'm not prejudiced against balds like the rest of you.
268
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.600
What's wrong with you?
269
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:44.660
I'm not prejudiced.
270
00:09:45.300 --> 00:09:47.500
I'm just prejudiced against Don Callis.
271
00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:50.420
Which is honestly kind of fair.
272
00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:51.700
It's kind of fair.
273
00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:53.380
The Don Callis family.
274
00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:53.920
It's fine.
275
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.200
Nothing to see here at all.
276
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:55.880
Everything is fine.
277
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:56.400
Right?
278
00:09:57.400 --> 00:09:58.700
Not LOL.
279
00:09:58.780 --> 00:09:59.640
Cowdog games.
280
00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:02.200
Yeah.
281
00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:05.320
It's going to happen.
282
00:10:05.660 --> 00:10:07.480
Popper said I saw Kenny Swerba had to sleep.
283
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.500
Well, you saw the best part of the show for sure.
284
00:10:10.180 --> 00:10:12.700
You saw the God level match.
285
00:10:13.400 --> 00:10:14.500
So Books, the time has come.
286
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:16.420
Go ahead.
287
00:10:16.680 --> 00:10:18.000
What do you have to say?
288
00:10:19.020 --> 00:10:20.500
Listen, listen.
289
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:25.380
Everyone was like Swerve should win.
290
00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:27.900
It'd be funny to see Swerve with the EVP powers.
291
00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:28.880
And I'm all like,
292
00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:31.600
but Kenny doesn't abuse his EVP powers, right?
293
00:10:31.900 --> 00:10:35.540
Like Kenny is the best example of an EVP we have in this company.
294
00:10:36.660 --> 00:10:37.060
Yes.
295
00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:38.080
True.
296
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:39.460
And everyone was like,
297
00:10:39.460 --> 00:10:40.820
Swerve, Swerve, Swerve.
298
00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:43.400
I'm like Kenny, Kenny, Kenny.
299
00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:45.080
Guess who was right.
300
00:10:45.540 --> 00:10:47.520
I had said last week on the show and you weren't on the show.
301
00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:48.620
I didn't know if you saw the show.
302
00:10:48.640 --> 00:10:52.120
You must have because you were clearly aware of some comments I made,
303
00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:56.840
which was that basically Swerve with the EVP titles,
304
00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:58.540
he would abuse it and do stuff with it.
305
00:10:58.540 --> 00:11:00.480
And Kenny never does anything with the EVP.
306
00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:00.940
Right?
307
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:02.000
However,
308
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.300
I think there's vast,
309
00:11:04.540 --> 00:11:07.840
I'd like for the EVP thing to stop being on the table at all.
310
00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:10.460
And I'm kind of hoping this is the end of it.
311
00:11:10.680 --> 00:11:14.560
And I think that was more my issue with this match going into it was I
312
00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:18.020
am so sick of these weird stipulation matches.
313
00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:21.440
It was enough with the number one contender,
314
00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:26.600
but I also can see Swerve goading him with the EVP thing as a way
315
00:11:28.380 --> 00:11:31.220
to push Kenny a little bit over the edge.
316
00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:34.120
Which is what happened.
317
00:11:34.520 --> 00:11:40.040
Well, and I think that there is the EVP thing could easily become the
318
00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:44.460
raw general manager bullshit that everybody's sick of that they've been
319
00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:46.580
doing now for 25 years.
320
00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:50.680
And I don't want there to be an authority figure in AEW that gets
321
00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:51.780
involved all the time.
322
00:11:51.780 --> 00:11:52.160
You know,
323
00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:55.080
they kind of towed that line with Christopher Daniels at one point.
324
00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:58.780
The Jacksons last year were the insufferable EVPs,
325
00:11:58.780 --> 00:12:01.040
and that was all you needed to do with it.
326
00:12:01.540 --> 00:12:03.700
They did make mention after the match,
327
00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:06.620
and I was really shocked at how clean this match ended.
328
00:12:06.920 --> 00:12:07.940
It was just,
329
00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:09.760
yeah, you had the fucking feature feature trigger,
330
00:12:09.760 --> 00:12:11.600
and then he hit the fucking one-winged angel,
331
00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:12.100
and it's over.
332
00:12:12.140 --> 00:12:13.040
This bitch is over.
333
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.700
Like I thought not I was going to jump up on the, on the,
334
00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:19.240
on the apron or something, but no, no.
335
00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:20.660
And, you know,
336
00:12:20.660 --> 00:12:23.280
obviously putting the EVP thing on the line,
337
00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:26.460
put the doubt in the outcome a little bit.
338
00:12:27.660 --> 00:12:30.140
So I didn't say yes, we're has to win.
339
00:12:30.140 --> 00:12:30.960
Okay.
340
00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:35.180
I said it would make sense of swerve one in the sense that he'd
341
00:12:35.180 --> 00:12:35.780
be the EVP,
342
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.920
but the more natural matchup would be MJF versus Kenny,
343
00:12:39.300 --> 00:12:40.860
because it's baby face and heel.
344
00:12:41.020 --> 00:12:41.520
Right.
345
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:42.440
But we all know.
346
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:43.860
Yeah.
347
00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:46.920
And we all know Antony Khan doesn't give a fuck and would
348
00:12:46.920 --> 00:12:48.580
gladly book swerve versus MJF.
349
00:12:49.760 --> 00:12:49.940
Right.
350
00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:50.540
This guy,
351
00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:53.700
this guy drinks our logic tears for breakfast.
352
00:12:53.940 --> 00:12:54.440
Okay.
353
00:12:54.660 --> 00:12:56.100
That's what he,
354
00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:59.800
he douses his cereal in every time he eats breakfast.
355
00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:00.580
Okay.
356
00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:03.880
Is our tears of, of, of trying to fantasy book.
357
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:04.720
Okay.
358
00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:10.400
So I knew that that wasn't going to keep him from,
359
00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:11.620
from doing that.
360
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.220
But in the end, Kenny wins,
361
00:13:14.400 --> 00:13:17.880
which I think is absolutely the right decision and clean.
362
00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:22.860
And I think so also my theory is, is that.
363
00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:27.740
This is also going to leave to swerve the,
364
00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:30.900
all the hints about the embassy.
365
00:13:32.280 --> 00:13:35.780
Finally coming into like flourishing.
366
00:13:36.260 --> 00:13:36.860
Yeah.
367
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:37.280
Yeah.
368
00:13:37.700 --> 00:13:40.080
Cause this is my push him over the edge.
369
00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:45.320
This is going to inspire swerve to really hone in and get a
370
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.300
crew behind him and just start causing trouble.
371
00:13:47.300 --> 00:13:49.720
Cause I, I do agree. I think.
372
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.560
My, obviously my whole theory is that swerve wins after Osprey.
373
00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:58.400
And then that leaves about a whole year of the world title
374
00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:01.700
switching between people for a good amount of time.
375
00:14:01.880 --> 00:14:04.160
Have swerve be the champion for a while.
376
00:14:04.680 --> 00:14:06.720
And then you can bring back hang man.
377
00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:09.180
And so the picture.
378
00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:11.080
Maybe run that back.
379
00:14:11.280 --> 00:14:12.740
Because it was a handshake deal people.
380
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:14.160
It was a handshake deal.
381
00:14:14.760 --> 00:14:17.640
Astro Nima says I liked Mina versus Tecla the most.
382
00:14:17.640 --> 00:14:18.420
That was a great match.
383
00:14:18.420 --> 00:14:20.280
We're going to talk more about that in a little bit.
384
00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:21.520
Really, really good match.
385
00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:24.680
I love this side of Mina that we're seeing right now.
386
00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:26.460
Blair line seven says,
387
00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:28.680
I really didn't want to see swerve win. If I'm honest,
388
00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:30.360
we just had the whole succession young bucks.
389
00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:32.700
Not too long ago being heel EVPs.
390
00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:35.860
Like I think we can push the heel authority thing down the road.
391
00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:36.600
Really?
392
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.260
I think we can just not do it anymore.
393
00:14:39.520 --> 00:14:41.700
You know, at least for a good while.
394
00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:45.760
And it shouldn't involve any of these people in my opinion.
395
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.220
Like I don't see what the point of that is.
396
00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:50.900
Well, it's, it's going to be interesting with.
397
00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:54.600
Cause obviously Kenny and the young bucks are going to be EVPs.
398
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.960
And until they actually physically retire in life,
399
00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.500
not from entering competition,
400
00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:02.320
I think they're still very much going to be a part of the company.
401
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:03.620
Whether it's.
402
00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:06.340
Just more backstage and not so frequently on the road.
403
00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:09.200
It's going to be interesting what happens when they are retired from
404
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:09.560
entering.
405
00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:12.220
And no longer like.
406
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:15.660
EVPs on screen,
407
00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:18.040
which they don't really do other than the young bucks at that.
408
00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:20.320
Yeah, totally.
409
00:15:21.260 --> 00:15:25.220
Totally nuclear Wessels X saying a lie in the chat that
410
00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:26.940
AW needs a Jack Tunney.
411
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:28.320
That is a lie.
412
00:15:28.520 --> 00:15:30.280
We do not need a Jack Tunney.
413
00:15:30.660 --> 00:15:34.560
So you're saying we need an ineffective goof as the president of
414
00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:36.300
AW. Is that what you're saying?
415
00:15:36.680 --> 00:15:38.000
Nuclear Wessels X.
416
00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:40.360
No, we do not.
417
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:41.880
Cowdog game says,
418
00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:44.720
I was saying that it did not make sense because what the hell was young
419
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.180
bucks match it all in for then.
420
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:47.560
Yeah.
421
00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:49.060
Now to be fair,
422
00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:52.500
Will Ospreay said he was too dumb to be an EVP and then nobody
423
00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:54.000
wanted that and swerve agreed.
424
00:15:54.900 --> 00:15:55.780
So I.
425
00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:58.080
You know, I just, you know, I just.
426
00:15:59.020 --> 00:16:02.020
I just think it was a way for him to keep taking stuff from the
427
00:16:02.020 --> 00:16:02.700
elite cause he,
428
00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:05.300
he obviously has an issue with the entire elite.
429
00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:07.260
Yeah.
430
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:07.920
Yeah.
431
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:08.640
Well.
432
00:16:08.640 --> 00:16:13.360
So we get this, we get this showdown in the, in the ring between,
433
00:16:13.780 --> 00:16:14.500
between these parties.
434
00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:18.200
You know, they have a gladiatorial combat.
435
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.740
And Kenneth Jerome Omega emerges Supreme.
436
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:24.080
Can I ask a side question?
437
00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.980
Does anyone else have,
438
00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:31.000
have a desire to just experience the one wing angel or is it just
439
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:31.380
me?
440
00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:33.860
You mean you want to take a one winged angel?
441
00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:35.640
I want to take a one wing angel.
442
00:16:36.300 --> 00:16:37.640
I don't.
443
00:16:37.640 --> 00:16:39.180
I do.
444
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.300
Now Kenny looks like he really,
445
00:16:41.300 --> 00:16:44.840
he looks like he protects you so nicely as you're going down.
446
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.760
So you want Kenny to gently put you down.
447
00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:48.920
Kenny.
448
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.800
I want to experience a one wing angel from Kenny,
449
00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:56.600
but I'm just anyone.
450
00:16:56.820 --> 00:16:58.140
It's like it has to be from Kenny.
451
00:16:58.500 --> 00:16:59.780
It has to be from Kenny.
452
00:16:59.780 --> 00:17:00.460
Got it.
453
00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:02.300
Because I think he's the only one who can do it correctly.
454
00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:02.920
Clearly.
455
00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:03.600
Cause when everyone,
456
00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:05.020
anyone else tries it,
457
00:17:05.020 --> 00:17:07.119
and then people kick out when Kenny does it,
458
00:17:07.780 --> 00:17:09.040
only one person is kicked out,
459
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.460
but does no one else want to like, try this?
460
00:17:12.520 --> 00:17:15.619
I think it looks so like,
461
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.079
it looks like not only is it just a protective finish,
462
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.640
it looks like he protects you while it happens.
463
00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:21.619
I don't know.
464
00:17:24.619 --> 00:17:27.280
There is a lot going on in the chat right now.
465
00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:28.920
And it is all.
466
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:29.840
Kenny too.
467
00:17:30.260 --> 00:17:30.600
Yeah.
468
00:17:30.660 --> 00:17:32.360
It's all fairly accurate.
469
00:17:33.080 --> 00:17:35.920
Too fat to cook says I'm too chunky to take a one-winged angel.
470
00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:38.040
Hey, don't ever give up on your dreams.
471
00:17:38.300 --> 00:17:39.020
You know what I mean?
472
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.880
Like, I feel a little chunky to be taking a one-winged angel
473
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.660
myself, but I'm not writing it off.
474
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.740
You know, too fat to cook.
475
00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.680
You got a big future ahead of you, pal.
476
00:17:49.100 --> 00:17:50.260
Don't write yourself off.
477
00:17:50.600 --> 00:17:51.980
It can happen if you believe.
478
00:17:52.580 --> 00:17:54.700
Big Damos been doing that move for years and you don't
479
00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:55.520
want it from him.
480
00:17:56.360 --> 00:17:58.700
Big Harry, Big Damo.
481
00:17:59.080 --> 00:18:01.400
No, one person, one person only.
482
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.920
Just Kenneth Jerome Omega.
483
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:04.620
Bonaparte.
484
00:18:04.840 --> 00:18:05.160
Just Kenneth.
485
00:18:06.600 --> 00:18:08.040
Gia Venise, the third.
486
00:18:10.600 --> 00:18:10.900
Yep.
487
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:14.220
Astrid Neiman wants to be the god of pro wrestling.
488
00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:14.940
That's fair.
489
00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:15.440
That's fair.
490
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.000
Don't we all?
491
00:18:16.340 --> 00:18:21.960
Speaking of the god of pro wrestling, Kenny got three
492
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:25.700
different segments and two of them were so big.
493
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.780
That's all we have time to talk about because we would
494
00:18:27.780 --> 00:18:29.860
literally not have time to talk about anything else.
495
00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:35.740
So after Kenneth, you know, not super surprising win,
496
00:18:35.780 --> 00:18:38.920
but somewhat surprising later in the show.
497
00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:39.940
MJF comes out.
498
00:18:40.040 --> 00:18:41.680
He wasn't on the show last week.
499
00:18:42.820 --> 00:18:44.300
He comes out and cuts.
500
00:18:44.620 --> 00:18:46.340
He was actually in Disney.
501
00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:47.820
He was in Disney World.
502
00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:48.660
Yes.
503
00:18:49.060 --> 00:18:49.420
Yes.
504
00:18:49.840 --> 00:18:53.480
In California, he said he wanted to go to Disney World.
505
00:18:53.780 --> 00:18:54.360
Very nice.
506
00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:54.960
Very nice.
507
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.980
He comes out and cuts the insufferably heelish hateful
508
00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:01.300
promo about Hangman that we all knew was coming.
509
00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:05.000
I think it was really smart to wait a week, to be honest
510
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:05.380
with you.
511
00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:09.000
I think people have kind of come down from the anxiety
512
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:10.180
of Hangman losing.
513
00:19:11.560 --> 00:19:15.440
I did see that someone put up a side by side photo of
514
00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:17.460
MJF's outfit.
515
00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:21.940
This particular attire, the blue next to one of Elvis's
516
00:19:21.940 --> 00:19:24.400
mid 70s outfit, like with the capes and everything,
517
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.740
it lined up perfectly.
518
00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:26.680
Okay.
519
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.260
So I'm not sure if it was intentional on MJF's part,
520
00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:32.040
but chef's kiss to whoever designed this clothing
521
00:19:32.040 --> 00:19:35.320
because it looks exactly like Elvis's attire.
522
00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:37.160
I thought that was awesome.
523
00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:40.400
And I got to say, MJF is just back in his sweet spot.
524
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.560
This guy is killing his promos again.
525
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.740
He seems like he is having a blast.
526
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.580
And I would say his act is just a lot better.
527
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.140
It's not relying on the cheap, cheap, misogynistic,
528
00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:57.340
quasi, almost racist tropes that it had in the past.
529
00:19:58.180 --> 00:20:00.660
I think that's a huge improvement in and of itself.
530
00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:03.440
And I think that he's matured a lot as a performer
531
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:05.280
and it's really coming through.
532
00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:07.400
And so he tells the crowd,
533
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:10.300
Hangman can never, never, never, never.
534
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:16.580
He just says it like 750 times, which to me only
535
00:20:16.580 --> 00:20:18.780
makes it seem like Hangman somehow is going to be able
536
00:20:18.780 --> 00:20:21.540
to challenge for the belt again by him being so
537
00:20:21.540 --> 00:20:22.440
out loud about it.
538
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.620
And he basically says, you know, he's better than you.
539
00:20:25.620 --> 00:20:26.080
And you know what?
540
00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:26.480
And you know what?
541
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.160
He's going to double down on his catchphrase
542
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.500
and no one is on the level of the devil.
543
00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:37.600
Then devil cry hits the fucking thing,
544
00:20:37.660 --> 00:20:39.720
the sound system, the screens.
545
00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:42.700
No one's on the level of the devil.
546
00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:43.500
Devil cry.
547
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:44.600
Unbelievable.
548
00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.580
Battle cry.
549
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.280
Damn it.
550
00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:46.760
Battle cry.
551
00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:48.760
Hits.
552
00:20:48.820 --> 00:20:50.520
Well, it is under a devil's sky.
553
00:20:50.620 --> 00:20:51.660
It's under a devil's sky.
554
00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.500
Get down.
555
00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:53.340
God damn it.
556
00:20:56.040 --> 00:20:58.640
The problem with being live is like, you can't just edit
557
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.740
out a mistake and just like pretend it didn't ever
558
00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:03.400
happen because everybody saw you do it.
559
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:05.240
Kenny comes out.
560
00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:08.040
I think we all know why he's coming out, right?
561
00:21:08.780 --> 00:21:13.240
They have a very interesting exchange that I think
562
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:15.840
Kenny is a very interesting opponent for Max because
563
00:21:15.840 --> 00:21:18.020
he's not a conventional promo.
564
00:21:18.520 --> 00:21:19.000
Okay.
565
00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:22.380
And it started a bit of a minor uproar online.
566
00:21:22.380 --> 00:21:23.580
And I would say minor.
567
00:21:23.580 --> 00:21:25.700
I didn't see a lot of people, you know, getting into
568
00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:26.580
a big thing about it.
569
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:31.660
And there were a few podcasts also that I saw advertising
570
00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:34.300
this conversation, but I did not take their bait
571
00:21:34.300 --> 00:21:36.020
because I wanted it for my bait.
572
00:21:36.760 --> 00:21:37.160
Okay.
573
00:21:38.520 --> 00:21:41.680
The question is, is Kenny Omega a good promo?
574
00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:46.240
I actually have discussed this at length yesterday
575
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:47.440
on the Bucks and Becks show.
576
00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:51.440
I think I didn't, I didn't see their questions.
577
00:21:51.780 --> 00:21:54.400
So these were just asking the same questions by chance.
578
00:21:55.320 --> 00:21:57.520
When, well, it was the harem together.
579
00:21:57.520 --> 00:21:59.760
So obviously Kenny was a huge part of our conversation
580
00:21:59.760 --> 00:22:00.460
last night.
581
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.880
Kenny and this persona kind of being a little like
582
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.240
grayish, right?
583
00:22:10.580 --> 00:22:13.900
It's when he stands out as a pro in promo.
584
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:16.760
When he was doing that authentic stuff last year,
585
00:22:17.100 --> 00:22:19.000
it's almost too authentic.
586
00:22:19.800 --> 00:22:22.440
So it's just like Kenny being his nerdy.
587
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.740
It's like actually Tyson out there and not Kenny.
588
00:22:26.840 --> 00:22:30.120
Whereas Kenny is this like larger than life.
589
00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:32.060
I'm the God, like God of pro wrestling.
590
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:33.320
I'm the best bout machine.
591
00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:36.060
So when he's playing this like authentic version
592
00:22:36.060 --> 00:22:37.560
of himself, it doesn't work.
593
00:22:39.020 --> 00:22:42.580
Yeah, I mean, he was like very white meat baby face,
594
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.400
you know, all of last year and going into this year.
595
00:22:45.820 --> 00:22:45.840
Yeah.
596
00:22:46.260 --> 00:22:46.680
Yeah.
597
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:50.700
So when he is in this persona and this version
598
00:22:50.700 --> 00:22:53.760
of the cleaner, the Kenny Omega, whatever you want
599
00:22:53.760 --> 00:22:56.740
to call him, that's when on promos, he's actually
600
00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:56.980
good.
601
00:22:58.340 --> 00:23:01.260
Now, I know people think that getting old is terrible
602
00:23:01.260 --> 00:23:02.700
and nobody should ever do it.
603
00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:06.960
And that getting old means that everything will get worse.
604
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.640
And I'm here to tell you that that is absolutely correct.
605
00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.500
That is true.
606
00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:15.940
However, it has given me one thing, which is the benefit
607
00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:18.960
of seeing decades of this shit roll past.
608
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:19.300
Okay.
609
00:23:19.320 --> 00:23:22.400
So I remember in the 90s, people would tell you
610
00:23:23.040 --> 00:23:25.460
Bret Hart was unquestionably the best wrestler,
611
00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:26.900
but he wasn't a very good promo.
612
00:23:28.820 --> 00:23:31.300
Now, when you go back and you watch Bret Hart's promos
613
00:23:31.300 --> 00:23:33.420
and then you watch who they said was the best
614
00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:36.600
at the time, Bret's hold up way better.
615
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.560
And it's because while everybody else is like,
616
00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:41.160
you think you go,
617
00:23:43.060 --> 00:23:45.880
Bret just talked like a human being, you know,
618
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.220
he was like much more realism based.
619
00:23:48.260 --> 00:23:50.520
He was way ahead of his time in a lot of ways.
620
00:23:50.560 --> 00:23:53.560
And his promos have only actually aged better
621
00:23:53.560 --> 00:23:54.380
in my opinion.
622
00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:57.760
And so in my opinion, yes, Kenny is a good promo.
623
00:23:57.860 --> 00:24:00.360
He's not a sing songy, catchphrase filled guy.
624
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.920
He has a different cadence to his promos
625
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:03.880
that is actually less.
626
00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:05.400
It's just less over the top.
627
00:24:05.780 --> 00:24:08.420
And it's kind of uncle-ish because he has a vocabulary
628
00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:12.100
that's kind of old worldy, you know,
629
00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:15.520
but he reminds me of Canadian side of him.
630
00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.000
Yes.
631
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:16.640
Yes.
632
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:18.660
It reminds me though of Brett.
633
00:24:19.320 --> 00:24:23.040
And, you know, like I said, Bret's promos 30 years later
634
00:24:23.040 --> 00:24:25.980
are some of the most listenable you'll hear from that era.
635
00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:28.080
I would say Stone Colds hold up really well.
636
00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:29.200
The Rocks do not.
637
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.280
There's a lot of people from that time
638
00:24:31.280 --> 00:24:33.720
that their promos are either laughably bad
639
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:35.880
or totally inappropriate.
640
00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:37.880
But I think Kenny will be more like Bret
641
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.820
where in 30 years people will be like, yeah,
642
00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:42.160
that's he just very clearly stated
643
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:43.740
what a real person would say.
644
00:24:44.860 --> 00:24:47.540
Now I will give you, Kenny did trip up over the,
645
00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:49.860
did these people called me a God
646
00:24:49.860 --> 00:24:51.700
because he then called himself a God.
647
00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:53.540
And then said, he doesn't call himself a God.
648
00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:55.440
He did get a little tripped up on that one.
649
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.040
I think, I think he got a little lost,
650
00:24:58.700 --> 00:24:59.360
a little lost.
651
00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.780
It's just a man.
652
00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:04.080
It's just a man dealing with the fact that he's a God
653
00:25:04.080 --> 00:25:06.940
and he's now accepting that he is a God.
654
00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:10.180
And it's very hard to go from, I'm not a God.
655
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:14.480
I'm just, just this, this little cleaner dude.
656
00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:16.380
And now I'm, I'm Sephiroth.
657
00:25:16.460 --> 00:25:17.300
I'm the one-wing angel.
658
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.260
I am a God.
659
00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:21.000
Of course he's going to trip up over it.
660
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.620
Cause he's coming to terms with being a God.
661
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.120
He's, he really have embraced the,
662
00:25:28.120 --> 00:25:29.120
I'm the God of pro wrestling.
663
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.020
He really has.
664
00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:31.300
He really has.
665
00:25:32.620 --> 00:25:33.640
It's, it's pretty crazy.
666
00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:34.460
And, and you know,
667
00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:36.600
there was a subtle excuse making that he made,
668
00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:38.480
you know, my body was starting to tell me
669
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:39.260
I shouldn't be wrestling,
670
00:25:39.260 --> 00:25:40.340
but I came back for the fans
671
00:25:40.340 --> 00:25:41.240
and that was a mistake.
672
00:25:41.700 --> 00:25:45.400
He's saying you didn't beat me at like 80%, you know,
673
00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:46.780
you beat me at like 50%.
674
00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:50.700
That was a really good match when MJF beat him in 2023.
675
00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:52.820
That was a really, really good match.
676
00:25:53.760 --> 00:25:57.720
Again, Kenny at 50, Kenny at 40, Kenny at 30%
677
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.000
is still a better wrestler than 90% of wrestlers.
678
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.940
So that's why I think Kenny is more likely
679
00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:07.920
to win against MJF right now because this is a,
680
00:26:08.320 --> 00:26:10.220
I don't want to say a hundred percent Kenny,
681
00:26:10.520 --> 00:26:12.760
but this is a Kenny that we have not seen
682
00:26:12.760 --> 00:26:14.100
in a long time in the ring.
683
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.720
Yeah.
684
00:26:14.800 --> 00:26:15.880
Who's not in pain.
685
00:26:16.340 --> 00:26:17.820
And it's going, he's going to like,
686
00:26:17.820 --> 00:26:21.400
he's going on a got a pro wrestling run right now.
687
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.400
And that's how he's going to end his career.
688
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:24.820
Yeah. And I'll say this.
689
00:26:24.840 --> 00:26:26.820
Who cares that he got tripped up for a minute,
690
00:26:27.020 --> 00:26:27.540
let him cook.
691
00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:29.240
He will make you something delicious.
692
00:26:29.600 --> 00:26:32.320
Let me remind everybody that one of AEW's best periods
693
00:26:32.320 --> 00:26:33.600
that for a long time,
694
00:26:34.260 --> 00:26:38.060
people drove me crazy talking about the people who said,
695
00:26:38.060 --> 00:26:40.280
AEW will never be as good as 2021.
696
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.920
That went on until basically last year for a lot of people.
697
00:26:45.540 --> 00:26:47.700
Who was the world champion in 2021?
698
00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:49.060
For the majority of the year.
699
00:26:49.260 --> 00:26:49.800
It was Kenny.
700
00:26:50.140 --> 00:26:50.640
Kenny Omega.
701
00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:53.240
And he was a fantastic character
702
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:55.240
and his promos were fucking awesome.
703
00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:59.420
He was a fucking dork posing so hard as a badass
704
00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:02.180
and he was fantastic at it.
705
00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:04.300
It's kind of also why I,
706
00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:07.840
why when Hangman lost and we heard he was taking time,
707
00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:09.220
I was like, oh,
708
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:11.100
they're definitely going to push Kenny right now
709
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.000
because this allows Kenny to have another level run
710
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:16.840
like that without people going,
711
00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:17.680
what about Hangman?
712
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:18.440
What about Hangman?
713
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:20.300
And I say this as a Hangman fan,
714
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:24.080
like it's going to allow Kenny to have this run
715
00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:27.540
without the shadow of Hangman right now.
716
00:27:29.180 --> 00:27:30.220
Yeah, yeah.
717
00:27:31.100 --> 00:27:32.140
Antoine says,
718
00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:34.020
the rocks promos from the Nation of Domination
719
00:27:34.020 --> 00:27:35.340
absolutely hold up for me.
720
00:27:35.360 --> 00:27:36.960
I agree and there's a reason
721
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:39.360
is there's more focus in those promos, I think.
722
00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:42.680
He wasn't just given 20 minutes
723
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:44.380
that they just like go do it.
724
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.200
You know, you and Gwertz write something
725
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:48.620
and he's coming up with all this crazy shit
726
00:27:48.620 --> 00:27:51.880
that's kind of homophobic and gross
727
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:54.040
constantly every single promo.
728
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:56.460
Those later promos just don't hold up very well,
729
00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:57.080
unfortunately.
730
00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:59.140
Yes, 69 Me Don.
731
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.600
Yes, when Kenny and Don, oh my God,
732
00:28:02.740 --> 00:28:04.000
that shit was so funny.
733
00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:06.280
Did you ever see that promo books?
734
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.840
Yes.
735
00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:08.400
Okay.
736
00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:10.860
I wasn't a fan of Don then either.
737
00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:14.060
Kenny was such a fucking menace in 2021.
738
00:28:14.060 --> 00:28:17.320
I mean, it's still one of the best AEW title reigns
739
00:28:17.320 --> 00:28:19.400
and I think he only defended the belt like five times
740
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:21.040
because he was so badly injured.
741
00:28:21.540 --> 00:28:23.460
So I do think Kenny's a good promo,
742
00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:26.460
but I think he's not going to give you everything in one promo.
743
00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:30.180
He's more of a subtlety leaking a story out
744
00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:32.820
through several weeks of action
745
00:28:32.820 --> 00:28:35.820
and Kenny's definitely a guy who builds on stuff
746
00:28:35.820 --> 00:28:38.300
to tell stories and I like that about him.
747
00:28:38.360 --> 00:28:39.520
I think it makes him unique.
748
00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:42.740
You know, Kenny does eventually say like,
749
00:28:43.260 --> 00:28:45.940
kind of turns MJF's phrases against him.
750
00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:48.900
He says, I know I'm better than you.
751
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:50.640
They know I'm better than you,
752
00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:54.020
but most importantly, you know I'm better than you
753
00:28:54.020 --> 00:28:55.840
and MJF accepts.
754
00:28:56.120 --> 00:29:01.860
So we are getting the cleaner versus MJF at Dynasty
755
00:29:01.860 --> 00:29:03.780
and I will be there live in the building.
756
00:29:03.780 --> 00:29:05.780
We might see a world heavyweight title change.
757
00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:08.540
I can't wait to see this entrance though
758
00:29:08.540 --> 00:29:09.320
because it's a home.
759
00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:11.180
It's not really a hometown show,
760
00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:13.560
but it's on the complete other side of the country.
761
00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:15.620
But yeah, it's a home country.
762
00:29:16.800 --> 00:29:19.200
I think it's he's going to go all out.
763
00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:20.380
Oh yeah.
764
00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:23.440
Oh yeah, it's going to be his first main event
765
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.600
in a pay-per-view in a long time.
766
00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:29.500
I feel like probably since I would think since hangman
767
00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:30.780
since he dropped the title to hangman
768
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:33.420
because he immediately had surgery after that.
769
00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:37.940
So then they had surgery again.
770
00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:39.800
Yeah. Yeah.
771
00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:42.160
BlearyLion7 says, Kenny's not trying to copy
772
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:43.200
anyone else's promo style,
773
00:29:43.280 --> 00:29:44.840
which is always going to age better.
774
00:29:44.840 --> 00:29:47.120
And he's not trying to play off of any current trends.
775
00:29:47.580 --> 00:29:48.720
So his stuff can't get dated.
776
00:29:48.860 --> 00:29:49.300
Exactly.
777
00:29:49.320 --> 00:29:51.920
He talks kind of like just your next door neighbor
778
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.060
and that may be a turn off to some people.
779
00:29:55.080 --> 00:29:57.780
But to me, I actually, it comes across very authentic
780
00:29:57.780 --> 00:30:01.240
whether he's a heel or whether he's a...
781
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.420
See, and I don't like when he's being super baby face.
782
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:04.420
I don't want him to.
783
00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:06.980
Yeah. He leaned into it really hard when he came back.
784
00:30:06.980 --> 00:30:08.980
It's the hardest I've ever seen him lean into it.
785
00:30:09.580 --> 00:30:10.680
And I don't like that.
786
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:13.880
You're like, I like a bad, you'd be a bad cleaner.
787
00:30:14.020 --> 00:30:14.820
I want you to be...
788
00:30:14.820 --> 00:30:18.380
No, I want him to be gray, like morally ambiguous.
789
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:19.140
Come on.
790
00:30:19.280 --> 00:30:23.480
Okay. So with that, Books,
791
00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:24.960
we're going to hit the music when we come back.
792
00:30:26.800 --> 00:30:29.040
Dynasty's already like a big deal.
793
00:30:48.800 --> 00:30:51.340
Books, Dynasty has only had three matches announced,
794
00:30:51.340 --> 00:30:53.960
but they are all pretty huge matches.
795
00:30:54.600 --> 00:30:55.440
Pretty huge.
796
00:30:55.760 --> 00:30:58.660
Yeah. AW is like all gas, no breaks right now.
797
00:30:59.620 --> 00:31:03.600
Like we have MJF versus Kenneth Jerome.
798
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.720
And that's the devil versus the God,
799
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.300
which I love that branding.
800
00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:11.180
That's amazing.
801
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:12.660
Can you just imagine the poem?
802
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:13.240
Oh my God.
803
00:31:14.420 --> 00:31:16.520
I can't believe I hadn't thought of that.
804
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:18.160
Like they said it.
805
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:19.780
I kind of said that the other night
806
00:31:19.780 --> 00:31:21.200
and I didn't think about it again.
807
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.280
I was like, oh, it's the devil
808
00:31:23.280 --> 00:31:24.780
versus the God of pro wrestling.
809
00:31:25.560 --> 00:31:27.620
They are going to have fun with that marketing.
810
00:31:28.520 --> 00:31:30.460
Especially because he's the one-wing angel.
811
00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:32.140
Yeah. Oh yeah.
812
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.320
No, I mean, this is crazy.
813
00:31:33.900 --> 00:31:34.680
This is crazy.
814
00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:38.480
We got some really heavy Ricky Stark's hatred
815
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.180
going on in the chat right now,
816
00:31:40.360 --> 00:31:41.320
and deservedly so.
817
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:42.080
Ricky, I'm sorry.
818
00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:43.100
I'm my people.
819
00:31:43.300 --> 00:31:44.060
Yeah, you're just...
820
00:31:45.100 --> 00:31:45.900
My people.
821
00:31:46.140 --> 00:31:48.080
You am, Ricky, just am.
822
00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:52.020
So we have Kenny versus MJF.
823
00:31:52.020 --> 00:31:56.760
We have Cope and Christian or Cage and Cope,
824
00:31:57.440 --> 00:31:58.280
as the shirt says,
825
00:31:59.300 --> 00:32:01.500
versus FTR for the tag titles.
826
00:32:01.520 --> 00:32:03.140
I think that match is going to...
827
00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:04.040
Fuck.
828
00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:05.400
It's going to be amazing.
829
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:05.920
That's going to be amazing.
830
00:32:06.360 --> 00:32:10.180
I do believe Cage and Cope will win that match.
831
00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:11.660
I think so too.
832
00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:13.640
I think the most likely title change
833
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:14.980
in the entire card so far.
834
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:16.080
There's three matches in there.
835
00:32:16.080 --> 00:32:16.380
Yeah.
836
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:16.880
But of them...
837
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:18.400
I also have the next,
838
00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:20.520
the all-in match planned out.
839
00:32:20.520 --> 00:32:21.160
Oh.
840
00:32:22.300 --> 00:32:25.300
And then, as was also announced,
841
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.800
via a very good promo from Will Ospreay,
842
00:32:29.540 --> 00:32:32.380
Moxley and Ospreay are going one-on-one.
843
00:32:33.820 --> 00:32:35.420
I'm like, God damn.
844
00:32:35.620 --> 00:32:38.120
That's like three main events right there.
845
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:39.340
Yeah.
846
00:32:39.840 --> 00:32:40.880
Oh, I was going to say,
847
00:32:40.940 --> 00:32:42.700
I didn't hear if it was a title match,
848
00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:45.220
but your notes answered that question.
849
00:32:45.580 --> 00:32:47.620
Moxley's promo kind of made it clear
850
00:32:47.620 --> 00:32:48.760
that it's not a title match
851
00:32:48.760 --> 00:32:50.280
because Ospreay has only had one match
852
00:32:50.280 --> 00:32:52.740
since he came back and he hasn't beaten Moxley.
853
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:56.760
So this tells me that even more
854
00:32:56.760 --> 00:32:59.140
that Ospreay is being cleared for the world title,
855
00:32:59.140 --> 00:33:00.460
not for the continental title,
856
00:33:00.520 --> 00:33:03.100
which I think is absolutely the right thing to do.
857
00:33:03.260 --> 00:33:05.240
Who cares about the continental title right now?
858
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:06.460
Keep it on Mox.
859
00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:07.020
I don't care.
860
00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:09.440
I mean, I literally don't care who holds it.
861
00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:10.600
Just whatever.
862
00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:13.840
Keep Will pointed out the Men's World Heavyweight title.
863
00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:17.360
And that's just the three matches they've announced.
864
00:33:17.580 --> 00:33:18.880
That is insane.
865
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:21.660
And next week on Dynamite,
866
00:33:21.800 --> 00:33:25.120
we're getting Pac versus Will Ospreay.
867
00:33:26.780 --> 00:33:28.740
That is going to be insane.
868
00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:31.940
I think Pac is one of those guys.
869
00:33:32.040 --> 00:33:34.140
If you see him week to week regularly,
870
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:35.420
which we don't normally,
871
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.580
like there might be like a two or three week period
872
00:33:38.580 --> 00:33:39.800
where he's on every Dynamite.
873
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:43.040
And you remember how fucking great he is.
874
00:33:43.300 --> 00:33:44.780
And then there's like a month
875
00:33:44.780 --> 00:33:46.980
where he's not even on the show, right?
876
00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:50.980
And Pac is maybe,
877
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.560
Kenny Omega himself said,
878
00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:55.940
Pac is like the most perfect execution
879
00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:58.820
of every single move that he's ever wrestled.
880
00:33:59.260 --> 00:34:02.120
Like nobody is crisper than Pac
881
00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:03.940
and more technically proficient
882
00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:06.460
at how he does everything than Pac.
883
00:34:07.520 --> 00:34:10.560
I actually saw Kenny wrestle Pac at All Out,
884
00:34:10.600 --> 00:34:11.760
the very first one.
885
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:13.659
And Pac beat Kenny.
886
00:34:16.170 --> 00:34:18.270
The first two times I saw Kenny Omega, he lost.
887
00:34:18.270 --> 00:34:19.489
It was kind of a bummer.
888
00:34:20.370 --> 00:34:22.310
Well, it must've been nice to see Kenny more than once
889
00:34:22.310 --> 00:34:23.730
because I only saw him once.
890
00:34:24.150 --> 00:34:26.409
I mean, mind you, it was Grand Slam versus Danielson.
891
00:34:26.650 --> 00:34:29.210
So like I might win the forever.
892
00:34:29.250 --> 00:34:31.310
Yeah, like what the fuck are you talking about?
893
00:34:31.510 --> 00:34:33.250
Like I saw him lose twice.
894
00:34:33.250 --> 00:34:34.370
I saw him lose to Jericho.
895
00:34:34.510 --> 00:34:35.429
I saw him lose to Pac.
896
00:34:35.610 --> 00:34:37.070
I saw him lose in a-
897
00:34:37.070 --> 00:34:38.090
It was a draw.
898
00:34:38.389 --> 00:34:39.429
It's not like he won.
899
00:34:39.610 --> 00:34:42.449
Yeah, but it was at the very first Grand Slam
900
00:34:42.449 --> 00:34:44.330
and you guys were like rabid dogs,
901
00:34:44.489 --> 00:34:44.969
fucking cheering.
902
00:34:45.210 --> 00:34:47.150
And Danielson's first match in AEW.
903
00:34:47.150 --> 00:34:48.429
I mean, come on.
904
00:34:49.489 --> 00:34:51.949
Actually, no, as the one person cheering for Omega
905
00:34:51.949 --> 00:34:54.690
in my section, I was heavily criticized.
906
00:34:55.030 --> 00:34:55.350
Really?
907
00:34:56.210 --> 00:34:56.889
Well, that's stupid.
908
00:34:57.310 --> 00:34:58.810
Because they all wanted Danielson to win.
909
00:35:00.210 --> 00:35:04.350
So yeah, honestly, I don't know what else
910
00:35:04.350 --> 00:35:05.450
they're going to stack onto this,
911
00:35:05.450 --> 00:35:06.590
but I can't wait to see it
912
00:35:06.590 --> 00:35:09.430
because it's going to be so good.
913
00:35:10.510 --> 00:35:12.510
I'm assuming we'll get the dogs.
914
00:35:13.990 --> 00:35:16.510
Yes, against hopefully not the conglomeration
915
00:35:16.510 --> 00:35:19.290
because the conglomeration is currently two people.
916
00:35:20.610 --> 00:35:22.890
I'm hoping it's actually a first,
917
00:35:22.890 --> 00:35:23.830
the rest of the death.
918
00:35:24.050 --> 00:35:27.110
Who has the trios right now?
919
00:35:27.310 --> 00:35:28.810
Is it-
920
00:35:28.810 --> 00:35:29.830
It's Mistycock.
921
00:35:31.710 --> 00:35:32.010
Mistycock.
922
00:35:32.070 --> 00:35:33.890
Don't want Mistycock to lose.
923
00:35:34.070 --> 00:35:34.530
No.
924
00:35:34.530 --> 00:35:37.070
But I also want the trios on the dogs.
925
00:35:38.190 --> 00:35:39.210
It's not time yet.
926
00:35:40.050 --> 00:35:40.930
It's not time yet.
927
00:35:41.490 --> 00:35:42.510
Patience books, patience.
928
00:35:43.490 --> 00:35:44.470
I don't have patience.
929
00:35:44.470 --> 00:35:47.010
Mistycock has to have a little time in the sun.
930
00:35:47.150 --> 00:35:47.710
You know what I mean?
931
00:35:47.730 --> 00:35:49.010
You got to let your cock out.
932
00:35:49.090 --> 00:35:49.610
Let it breathe.
933
00:35:49.730 --> 00:35:51.910
Well, especially because with Mistyco signing.
934
00:35:52.230 --> 00:35:52.470
Yes.
935
00:35:52.470 --> 00:35:53.730
I think the Mistyco thing,
936
00:35:53.750 --> 00:35:55.690
you got to let that really-
937
00:35:55.690 --> 00:35:56.330
Yeah.
938
00:35:58.190 --> 00:35:59.030
Solidify, solidify.
939
00:36:01.030 --> 00:36:03.470
So yeah, AW isn't getting bogged down in any bullshit.
940
00:36:05.030 --> 00:36:06.770
Everything feels intensely personal.
941
00:36:07.310 --> 00:36:08.430
You got MJF and Kenny.
942
00:36:08.590 --> 00:36:11.950
You got obviously Cage and Cope versus FTR
943
00:36:11.950 --> 00:36:15.310
is going to be, they've made it very clear why they hate each other.
944
00:36:15.670 --> 00:36:21.430
I thought Cope's promo on Cash Wheeler was really good this week.
945
00:36:21.650 --> 00:36:23.010
Did he passport name?
946
00:36:23.310 --> 00:36:24.470
He said Dan, right?
947
00:36:24.470 --> 00:36:25.050
He called him Dan.
948
00:36:25.050 --> 00:36:26.250
My only one who heard that.
949
00:36:26.470 --> 00:36:29.270
I was like, he passport named Cash.
950
00:36:29.750 --> 00:36:30.750
Yeah, yeah.
951
00:36:30.750 --> 00:36:35.690
Because his real name is Dan Wheeler and Dax is John Harwood.
952
00:36:35.870 --> 00:36:36.630
That's his real name.
953
00:36:36.770 --> 00:36:38.810
So it's pretty crazy.
954
00:36:38.810 --> 00:36:42.590
They teased Moxley and Osprey in New Japan several times.
955
00:36:43.790 --> 00:36:47.610
I think it was before they found out that Osprey had signed with Tony.
956
00:36:48.250 --> 00:36:50.270
Once that happened, I think Tony was like,
957
00:36:50.270 --> 00:36:51.150
please don't do that match.
958
00:36:51.250 --> 00:36:52.470
I want to do that match in AW.
959
00:36:53.510 --> 00:36:56.270
I remember at Wrestle Kingdom, they had a triple threat
960
00:36:56.270 --> 00:37:00.450
and David Finlay won by pinning Osprey.
961
00:37:02.250 --> 00:37:06.070
I think that was Will trying to make Finlay bigger before he left.
962
00:37:06.690 --> 00:37:07.210
Yeah.
963
00:37:08.110 --> 00:37:12.470
But, you know, speaking of people from Japan who've come to AEW,
964
00:37:14.680 --> 00:37:18.020
there's a five foot spider walking amongst us.
965
00:37:18.020 --> 00:37:18.420
Okay.
966
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:22.260
A five foot spider and her name is Tecla and she's fucking rad.
967
00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:24.180
And it came out.
968
00:37:24.180 --> 00:37:25.140
She's toxic.
969
00:37:25.260 --> 00:37:26.360
She's toxic.
970
00:37:26.600 --> 00:37:28.180
She's toxic, which is like saying,
971
00:37:28.180 --> 00:37:31.800
it's how the kids say rad, right?
972
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.800
Yeah, like radical, dope.
973
00:37:38.660 --> 00:37:39.460
Six sigma.
974
00:37:40.740 --> 00:37:43.040
Is that why are they singing sigma?
975
00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:43.860
You are now asked.
976
00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:45.440
I have no idea.
977
00:37:45.740 --> 00:37:46.680
What's going on?
978
00:37:46.980 --> 00:37:48.040
What's happening in the world?
979
00:37:48.100 --> 00:37:48.740
I said rad.
980
00:37:48.820 --> 00:37:49.500
That's where I started.
981
00:37:49.660 --> 00:37:52.440
I mean, this is like 1988 tubular.
982
00:37:52.580 --> 00:37:53.380
Well, I don't know.
983
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.620
Let's see.
984
00:37:56.660 --> 00:37:58.560
Let's see what the chat's saying here.
985
00:37:58.660 --> 00:37:59.240
Blair Line 7.
986
00:37:59.380 --> 00:38:00.980
Surely at some point we're getting Jay White like,
987
00:38:00.980 --> 00:38:02.420
God damn, how broken can he be?
988
00:38:02.620 --> 00:38:04.500
Osprey had his head reattached in this time.
989
00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:05.640
Yes.
990
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:09.280
However, if he did have surgery on his shoulder,
991
00:38:09.340 --> 00:38:10.860
that can take a really long time.
992
00:38:11.620 --> 00:38:13.120
Shoulders heal slow.
993
00:38:13.660 --> 00:38:14.300
You know what?
994
00:38:16.940 --> 00:38:20.140
Jay White better stop fucking teasing us because I'm pissed off.
995
00:38:20.600 --> 00:38:21.960
That's all I'm going to say.
996
00:38:22.180 --> 00:38:23.800
Jay White's on my shit list officially.
997
00:38:23.940 --> 00:38:25.960
There's a method to it, which is like,
998
00:38:26.100 --> 00:38:27.940
by the time he does it next time, you're going to be like,
999
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:28.260
you know what?
1000
00:38:28.260 --> 00:38:29.360
You fucked with me so many times.
1001
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:30.580
I'm not going to build my hopes up.
1002
00:38:30.660 --> 00:38:31.480
Then he's going to show up.
1003
00:38:32.620 --> 00:38:32.880
Yeah.
1004
00:38:32.940 --> 00:38:34.000
Well, fuck Jay White.
1005
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:35.300
You heard that first.
1006
00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:37.820
He'll show up in November sometime.
1007
00:38:38.260 --> 00:38:38.800
Cowdog Games.
1008
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:43.400
Well, Pac does not get his recognition because all of his injuries in AW
1009
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.500
and being the third best or most popular guy in the death triangle.
1010
00:38:47.620 --> 00:38:49.980
Maybe third most popular, third best.
1011
00:38:51.220 --> 00:38:51.780
I don't know.
1012
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:53.040
All those guys are really good.
1013
00:38:53.100 --> 00:38:53.920
It's hard to say.
1014
00:38:54.400 --> 00:39:00.660
But Tekla was announced as having signed a new multi-year deal,
1015
00:39:00.820 --> 00:39:03.880
presumably for longer than the deal she currently had.
1016
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:06.340
When I first saw this, I was like, God damn it, Tony.
1017
00:39:06.380 --> 00:39:08.060
Did you sign her for like seven months or something?
1018
00:39:08.060 --> 00:39:08.780
Like, what the fuck?
1019
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.500
But no, she was signed for two years.
1020
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:14.300
And before even the first year had elapsed,
1021
00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:17.100
Tony tied her up for as long as he possibly could.
1022
00:39:17.100 --> 00:39:19.140
I assume it's probably like a five-year deal.
1023
00:39:20.180 --> 00:39:23.820
This is incredibly, incredibly good news for AW.
1024
00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:31.640
What makes me happy too is that she is the first person
1025
00:39:31.640 --> 00:39:33.840
to come and say like, AW was my dream.
1026
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.520
So it makes me very happy that she's getting this push
1027
00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:40.320
and she's kind of getting her flowers in this way
1028
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:44.540
because I think it's really a first for AW.
1029
00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:49.800
And that's me getting mushy at Tony Khan doing the right thing.
1030
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:50.840
Absolutely.
1031
00:39:51.180 --> 00:39:51.860
And you know what?
1032
00:39:52.700 --> 00:39:54.600
Like, I love stat.
1033
00:39:54.820 --> 00:39:57.560
I love so many of the women in this division.
1034
00:39:57.620 --> 00:39:58.580
So many of them.
1035
00:39:58.780 --> 00:40:01.160
I can't wait till Amenada comes back.
1036
00:40:01.220 --> 00:40:01.880
I can't wait.
1037
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.160
There's so many people who I think have so much potential.
1038
00:40:05.120 --> 00:40:08.360
But when you look right now, Mercedes isn't there
1039
00:40:09.060 --> 00:40:10.760
currently at this very moment.
1040
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:13.000
Tony's out for a long time.
1041
00:40:14.900 --> 00:40:15.720
It's Tekla.
1042
00:40:16.080 --> 00:40:16.980
She is the one.
1043
00:40:17.180 --> 00:40:19.880
She's the one that can anchor this division as the top heel.
1044
00:40:20.560 --> 00:40:22.940
And I think it's time for the triangle of madness
1045
00:40:22.940 --> 00:40:26.580
to fully step up and really, really, really cause some chaos.
1046
00:40:28.300 --> 00:40:32.840
And Tekla also embraces being a heel with all of her might.
1047
00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:34.980
She doesn't give a fuck.
1048
00:40:35.100 --> 00:40:36.600
She cheats in every match.
1049
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.540
And I love it because that makes her more interesting.
1050
00:40:41.620 --> 00:40:42.980
You don't need to book her strong.
1051
00:40:43.200 --> 00:40:46.040
Just make her fucking cheating awesome asshole
1052
00:40:46.040 --> 00:40:48.180
that everybody loves to boo.
1053
00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:50.520
She's just fantastic at it.
1054
00:40:51.080 --> 00:40:52.200
Play up the toxic.
1055
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:55.320
So yeah, it really says something about her
1056
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:58.880
less than a full year into a two-year deal.
1057
00:40:59.040 --> 00:41:01.740
They gave her more money and more years.
1058
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:02.660
That's pretty wild.
1059
00:41:03.120 --> 00:41:08.100
So I'm super, super glad that she's going to be around for a while.
1060
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:09.560
And speaking of Tekla,
1061
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:13.800
and speaking of one of our friends on the chat,
1062
00:41:15.060 --> 00:41:18.360
Astroneema21 said that the match with Mina Shirakawa
1063
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:20.180
was their favorite of the show.
1064
00:41:21.620 --> 00:41:22.800
It's hard to argue, okay?
1065
00:41:23.160 --> 00:41:24.560
Like wrestling is subjective, right?
1066
00:41:24.560 --> 00:41:25.940
Give me Kenny and Swerve.
1067
00:41:26.120 --> 00:41:29.120
That's pretty hard to top, but holy shit.
1068
00:41:30.580 --> 00:41:32.980
So basically, Mina Shirakawa, in my opinion,
1069
00:41:33.060 --> 00:41:34.580
she totally fucking did it to Tony.
1070
00:41:35.100 --> 00:41:38.600
Like I think it could be Sheeta.
1071
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:39.920
It could be Britt Baker.
1072
00:41:40.020 --> 00:41:41.660
It could be a lot of people, right?
1073
00:41:42.780 --> 00:41:44.040
I think it's Mina.
1074
00:41:44.660 --> 00:41:45.520
And you know what?
1075
00:41:45.580 --> 00:41:48.420
If it was, that would be the best thing for Mina.
1076
00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:49.520
It'd be incredible.
1077
00:41:51.730 --> 00:41:52.990
My issue with it being Mina,
1078
00:41:52.990 --> 00:41:56.430
it's very then similar to the Tony Mariah story.
1079
00:41:56.730 --> 00:41:58.350
So my guess is Britt.
1080
00:42:00.370 --> 00:42:05.230
Just because I think Britt is going to look at it as I left.
1081
00:42:06.410 --> 00:42:09.950
I was the top of the division, blah, blah, blah.
1082
00:42:10.310 --> 00:42:11.850
Tony came in and took her thunder
1083
00:42:11.850 --> 00:42:15.430
and could kind of be why Britt disappeared for as long as she did.
1084
00:42:16.830 --> 00:42:20.930
I just think it's a great way to bring back Britt.
1085
00:42:20.930 --> 00:42:24.030
Well, and Tony literally took the title away from Sheeta.
1086
00:42:24.530 --> 00:42:26.530
So there's also potential there.
1087
00:42:26.570 --> 00:42:28.950
And I think there was a kendo stick in the room.
1088
00:42:29.950 --> 00:42:33.610
So see, my thing with Sheeta is I don't think Sheeta.
1089
00:42:33.690 --> 00:42:35.230
I think Sheeta is basically done.
1090
00:42:35.570 --> 00:42:36.290
She might be.
1091
00:42:37.270 --> 00:42:40.510
I think she's really into the acting and streaming.
1092
00:42:40.590 --> 00:42:43.810
And I think that's where she wants to be right now.
1093
00:42:44.350 --> 00:42:44.830
Yeah.
1094
00:42:44.970 --> 00:42:47.530
Which breaks my heart, but.
1095
00:42:47.530 --> 00:42:51.850
Larry Line, very strong suggestion is Wendy Richter.
1096
00:42:51.870 --> 00:42:53.310
I can totally see it.
1097
00:42:53.490 --> 00:42:55.970
I just watched WrestleMania 1 the other day.
1098
00:42:56.150 --> 00:42:57.390
And Wendy Richter is buff.
1099
00:42:57.930 --> 00:43:00.390
I'm assuming she looks exactly like she did in 1985.
1100
00:43:01.030 --> 00:43:06.510
But it was only, what, like 41 years ago?
1101
00:43:06.790 --> 00:43:08.670
She probably looks somewhat similar to that.
1102
00:43:09.370 --> 00:43:09.930
Cowdog Games.
1103
00:43:10.070 --> 00:43:12.630
Also, I loved hearing in the AEW interviews this week
1104
00:43:12.630 --> 00:43:14.030
that the Triangle of Manus are saying
1105
00:43:14.030 --> 00:43:16.350
that they want to step up and take over right now.
1106
00:43:16.910 --> 00:43:17.430
Yeah.
1107
00:43:17.510 --> 00:43:21.290
They're the strong heel faction that the division really has needed.
1108
00:43:22.390 --> 00:43:22.450
And.
1109
00:43:22.710 --> 00:43:24.630
Have them beat Mr. Cock.
1110
00:43:24.950 --> 00:43:25.210
Remember?
1111
00:43:25.550 --> 00:43:26.370
Hell yeah.
1112
00:43:26.870 --> 00:43:31.150
Remember when they were trying to get us to take the outcast seriously?
1113
00:43:32.370 --> 00:43:32.670
Yeah.
1114
00:43:32.690 --> 00:43:33.970
That's what the sisters have said.
1115
00:43:34.110 --> 00:43:36.990
And they were literally doing the loser thing.
1116
00:43:37.170 --> 00:43:41.130
And that was supposed to be good or great heel work or something.
1117
00:43:41.510 --> 00:43:44.050
I'm still grateful for the outcast because I don't know
1118
00:43:44.050 --> 00:43:46.330
that we ever would have gotten Timeless Tony Storm without them.
1119
00:43:46.350 --> 00:43:46.950
So.
1120
00:43:46.950 --> 00:43:47.630
We wouldn't have.
1121
00:43:49.890 --> 00:43:51.870
Nuclear Wessel X definitely agrees.
1122
00:43:52.030 --> 00:43:53.210
It's definitely Wendy Richter.
1123
00:43:53.450 --> 00:43:55.350
Like I told you, 1985, she looked great.
1124
00:43:55.590 --> 00:43:56.770
I haven't seen her recently.
1125
00:43:56.930 --> 00:43:58.470
It was only 41 years ago, though.
1126
00:43:58.970 --> 00:43:59.310
So.
1127
00:44:00.330 --> 00:44:02.810
And you know, Astrodema, this is a very fair question.
1128
00:44:02.870 --> 00:44:04.470
Why would Mina attack her husband?
1129
00:44:04.550 --> 00:44:05.470
I don't believe it.
1130
00:44:06.290 --> 00:44:08.630
She has called Tony her husband on many occasions.
1131
00:44:08.830 --> 00:44:12.010
However, Tony's little dalliances with Orange Cassidy
1132
00:44:12.010 --> 00:44:13.310
clearly seem to bother Mina.
1133
00:44:13.850 --> 00:44:14.570
It's true.
1134
00:44:14.590 --> 00:44:15.050
Yeah.
1135
00:44:15.050 --> 00:44:16.430
I didn't think of that.
1136
00:44:17.530 --> 00:44:19.010
Mina just seems so obvious.
1137
00:44:19.130 --> 00:44:19.710
It does.
1138
00:44:19.990 --> 00:44:22.270
I do feel like they're trying to get us to think it's Mina
1139
00:44:22.270 --> 00:44:23.530
on a lot of levels.
1140
00:44:23.650 --> 00:44:27.350
But what I will say is Mina clearly recognizes her opportunity
1141
00:44:27.350 --> 00:44:32.770
right now to take no one person is going to fill the spot left
1142
00:44:32.770 --> 00:44:33.450
by Tony Storm.
1143
00:44:33.710 --> 00:44:33.990
Okay.
1144
00:44:34.110 --> 00:44:36.350
That woman is a force of nature.
1145
00:44:36.650 --> 00:44:37.170
Okay.
1146
00:44:37.350 --> 00:44:39.790
Like she does not occur naturally in nature.
1147
00:44:40.230 --> 00:44:41.210
She is nature.
1148
00:44:41.550 --> 00:44:41.990
Okay.
1149
00:44:42.710 --> 00:44:45.210
So Tony Storm can't be replaced by one.
1150
00:44:46.110 --> 00:44:50.150
I would say like Mina and Athena, like between the two of them,
1151
00:44:50.150 --> 00:44:51.790
they could make up for Tony Storm.
1152
00:44:52.010 --> 00:44:52.590
You know what I mean?
1153
00:44:54.050 --> 00:44:58.390
But my thought is Athena could definitely be one.
1154
00:44:59.350 --> 00:45:00.350
Mina is the obvious pick.
1155
00:45:00.710 --> 00:45:02.910
And her walking down with the flowers that were left
1156
00:45:02.910 --> 00:45:06.070
right next to Tony kind of definitely suggests to me
1157
00:45:06.070 --> 00:45:07.390
they want us to think it's Mina.
1158
00:45:08.290 --> 00:45:12.330
But what I'm noticing is Mina's change in aggression
1159
00:45:13.130 --> 00:45:14.670
and her composure.
1160
00:45:14.830 --> 00:45:17.630
She's wrestling a lot more like she did in stardom.
1161
00:45:18.290 --> 00:45:21.510
She's, you know, kind of like got a more bat shit vibe
1162
00:45:21.510 --> 00:45:22.830
to her, which I love.
1163
00:45:24.170 --> 00:45:26.950
And she kicked the living shit out of Tecla.
1164
00:45:28.210 --> 00:45:30.290
And thankfully for her, that's exactly the way the
1165
00:45:30.290 --> 00:45:33.390
five foot spider likes it because she punches the shit
1166
00:45:33.390 --> 00:45:34.330
out of people.
1167
00:45:34.590 --> 00:45:36.870
So they just beat the shit out of each other.
1168
00:45:36.870 --> 00:45:39.310
They had great chemistry together.
1169
00:45:39.390 --> 00:45:40.170
Yes, they do.
1170
00:45:40.470 --> 00:45:40.910
Yes, they do.
1171
00:45:41.170 --> 00:45:43.950
It was like you could not turn or like you could not
1172
00:45:43.950 --> 00:45:45.030
take your eyes off of it.
1173
00:45:45.050 --> 00:45:48.230
I also wish that match had limited commercial because
1174
00:45:48.930 --> 00:45:53.770
it had just as much fire as Swerve and Kenny.
1175
00:45:53.950 --> 00:45:55.330
I also wish it went last.
1176
00:45:55.890 --> 00:45:58.570
I mean, I don't, there was no, they didn't need to do
1177
00:45:58.570 --> 00:46:00.490
Darby and Roush last.
1178
00:46:01.030 --> 00:46:02.150
I'm going to be honest.
1179
00:46:02.150 --> 00:46:03.970
I don't even think I paid attention.
1180
00:46:04.750 --> 00:46:06.130
It was fine.
1181
00:46:06.290 --> 00:46:07.090
It was a good match.
1182
00:46:07.090 --> 00:46:08.170
It was a really good match.
1183
00:46:08.190 --> 00:46:09.030
I did it for me.
1184
00:46:09.810 --> 00:46:14.430
But I will say that Mina is definitely recognizing
1185
00:46:14.430 --> 00:46:17.530
her opportunity here, which is to step into that void
1186
00:46:17.530 --> 00:46:20.710
and to try and make a name for herself.
1187
00:46:20.710 --> 00:46:25.510
And I think her being respectfully the sexy
1188
00:46:26.810 --> 00:46:31.250
Asian lady that, you know, comes out and she knows
1189
00:46:31.250 --> 00:46:33.410
it and everybody wants Mina, you know, everyone
1190
00:46:33.410 --> 00:46:33.890
wants Mina.
1191
00:46:34.830 --> 00:46:39.990
There's only so much legs in that, you know, and she's
1192
00:46:39.990 --> 00:46:42.090
going to have to continue to evolve in order to keep
1193
00:46:42.090 --> 00:46:42.910
the crowd with her.
1194
00:46:43.310 --> 00:46:45.290
And she's done a lot of jobs.
1195
00:46:45.350 --> 00:46:46.450
She's lost a lot.
1196
00:46:46.630 --> 00:46:48.890
You know, I want to see Mina get more wins.
1197
00:46:49.350 --> 00:46:50.570
I didn't mind her losing here.
1198
00:46:50.870 --> 00:46:53.570
Can we talk about the beautiful fucking finish?
1199
00:46:53.890 --> 00:46:58.050
Okay, I was in an incredible group chat during this
1200
00:46:58.050 --> 00:46:59.950
match and somebody pointed out.
1201
00:46:59.950 --> 00:47:05.890
Tecla pulls brass knuckles out of her top and puts
1202
00:47:05.890 --> 00:47:08.690
them on her knuckles, right?
1203
00:47:09.090 --> 00:47:11.210
But they were silver and somebody's like, man,
1204
00:47:11.270 --> 00:47:12.450
this economy is so bad.
1205
00:47:12.470 --> 00:47:14.750
Brass knuckles aren't even brass anymore.
1206
00:47:17.910 --> 00:47:21.750
And as Mina goes to do just a simple backdrop
1207
00:47:21.750 --> 00:47:23.930
to her, Tecla punches her in the face, falls
1208
00:47:23.930 --> 00:47:28.190
on top of her, pins her, and sneaks the
1209
00:47:28.190 --> 00:47:30.450
knucks off herself, doesn't get caught, and she's
1210
00:47:30.450 --> 00:47:30.830
the winner.
1211
00:47:31.490 --> 00:47:32.170
This is what I mean.
1212
00:47:32.170 --> 00:47:32.670
She's a heel.
1213
00:47:32.870 --> 00:47:33.930
She cheats to win.
1214
00:47:34.610 --> 00:47:37.210
She's not a heel because she's unlikable.
1215
00:47:37.370 --> 00:47:37.850
Perfect heel.
1216
00:47:38.070 --> 00:47:39.030
She's a perfect heel.
1217
00:47:39.670 --> 00:47:41.190
Like this is what a heel should be.
1218
00:47:42.050 --> 00:47:42.590
Yeah, yeah.
1219
00:47:42.710 --> 00:47:45.670
And, you know, there was somebody talking in this
1220
00:47:45.670 --> 00:47:47.030
group chat earlier in the night about Kenny
1221
00:47:47.030 --> 00:47:49.390
kicking out of everything and then Swerve just
1222
00:47:49.390 --> 00:47:52.070
taking a pin on the first time he took a finisher.
1223
00:47:52.570 --> 00:47:54.410
And I'm like, they're telling the story of a
1224
00:47:54.410 --> 00:47:55.130
baby face and a heel.
1225
00:47:55.690 --> 00:47:56.810
That's how it goes.
1226
00:47:56.810 --> 00:47:59.690
Kenny's like the Superman of AEW.
1227
00:48:00.490 --> 00:48:01.570
That's literally his gimmick.
1228
00:48:01.650 --> 00:48:02.750
He's the god of pro wrestling.
1229
00:48:03.270 --> 00:48:04.090
Kicks out of everything.
1230
00:48:04.730 --> 00:48:06.650
He kicked out of everything in the first match
1231
00:48:06.650 --> 00:48:08.790
until he got screwed over, and then he
1232
00:48:08.790 --> 00:48:09.710
couldn't kick out anymore.
1233
00:48:10.210 --> 00:48:11.670
You know, Swerve just killed him.
1234
00:48:12.830 --> 00:48:14.670
And that's what it takes to beat Kenny.
1235
00:48:15.410 --> 00:48:17.010
But nobody kicks out of the one-winged angel.
1236
00:48:17.910 --> 00:48:18.730
So no one.
1237
00:48:19.030 --> 00:48:21.450
There's only one person to do it, and that
1238
00:48:21.450 --> 00:48:22.550
will ever be it.
1239
00:48:22.910 --> 00:48:24.890
When I was a kid, I remember thinking, so
1240
00:48:24.890 --> 00:48:27.250
minute you turn bad, you have to cheat to win.
1241
00:48:27.570 --> 00:48:30.370
Like that's the minute you turn bad, like you
1242
00:48:30.370 --> 00:48:32.230
no longer have the ability to kick out of
1243
00:48:32.230 --> 00:48:33.530
the same shit you could have kicked out of
1244
00:48:33.530 --> 00:48:33.930
before.
1245
00:48:34.810 --> 00:48:37.870
You need to cheat at every turn and trying
1246
00:48:37.870 --> 00:48:39.370
to figure out how that made sense.
1247
00:48:39.630 --> 00:48:41.170
And then, you know, over time, you just
1248
00:48:41.170 --> 00:48:42.610
learn not to question that too much.
1249
00:48:42.950 --> 00:48:44.970
But like Swerve could kick out of everything
1250
00:48:44.970 --> 00:48:45.910
until he turned heel.
1251
00:48:47.230 --> 00:48:51.030
And now again, so player line seven says,
1252
00:48:51.090 --> 00:48:52.410
honestly, the sell of the brass knuckles
1253
00:48:52.410 --> 00:48:54.370
was the second best sell of nuts I've ever
1254
00:48:54.370 --> 00:48:58.390
seen. That finish is an exact finish.
1255
00:48:58.490 --> 00:49:00.970
I've seen Ricky Steamboat do twice where
1256
00:49:00.970 --> 00:49:03.070
he was the person giving the backdrop.
1257
00:49:03.510 --> 00:49:05.770
And I saw Macho Man Randy Savage punch
1258
00:49:05.770 --> 00:49:08.050
him and land on top of him at the
1259
00:49:08.050 --> 00:49:09.770
wrestling classic and pin him.
1260
00:49:10.470 --> 00:49:12.290
And I saw Tony Blanchard do the same
1261
00:49:12.290 --> 00:49:12.750
thing to him.
1262
00:49:12.750 --> 00:49:14.190
I believe it's Starcade 84.
1263
00:49:15.790 --> 00:49:17.650
So, you know, going back a little ways,
1264
00:49:17.750 --> 00:49:18.110
maybe.
1265
00:49:18.810 --> 00:49:20.510
But, hey, we're talking about Wendy
1266
00:49:20.510 --> 00:49:22.030
Richter already, you know, so like,
1267
00:49:22.090 --> 00:49:23.730
I mean, this is the same distance.
1268
00:49:24.510 --> 00:49:26.110
Obviously, you know, the first is a big
1269
00:49:26.110 --> 00:49:27.990
show falling on Regal way back in the day.
1270
00:49:28.110 --> 00:49:28.550
Yes.
1271
00:49:28.750 --> 00:49:30.570
When Regal does the power of the punch,
1272
00:49:31.010 --> 00:49:32.770
knocks out Big Show while he's standing
1273
00:49:32.770 --> 00:49:34.650
and Big Show just falls on top of him
1274
00:49:34.650 --> 00:49:35.270
and pins him.
1275
00:49:35.270 --> 00:49:36.350
That was amazing.
1276
00:49:37.030 --> 00:49:38.350
That's one of my favorite all time
1277
00:49:38.350 --> 00:49:39.110
finishes ever.
1278
00:49:39.130 --> 00:49:40.270
Just for any reason.
1279
00:49:41.030 --> 00:49:42.630
Skewered Universe podcast says Tekla
1280
00:49:42.630 --> 00:49:44.390
will never ever be a face.
1281
00:49:44.650 --> 00:49:45.670
No, no.
1282
00:49:46.670 --> 00:49:48.030
There are some people who are just
1283
00:49:48.030 --> 00:49:50.010
natural and pure heels and she is one
1284
00:49:50.010 --> 00:49:50.490
of them.
1285
00:49:50.710 --> 00:49:51.130
Yes.
1286
00:49:52.090 --> 00:49:53.290
Yes. Cowdog Games.
1287
00:49:53.290 --> 00:49:55.390
Tell me how good ROH versus MLP
1288
00:49:55.390 --> 00:49:55.910
show tonight.
1289
00:49:56.030 --> 00:49:57.150
Unfortunately, I cannot watch it
1290
00:49:57.150 --> 00:49:58.090
because I'm a poor person.
1291
00:49:58.370 --> 00:49:58.810
Same.
1292
00:49:58.970 --> 00:49:59.550
Newly poor.
1293
00:49:59.870 --> 00:50:01.450
Pretty much in real life.
1294
00:50:01.450 --> 00:50:01.750
LOL.
1295
00:50:02.630 --> 00:50:04.190
Well, I mean, the Toxic Spider Tekla
1296
00:50:04.190 --> 00:50:05.330
is a hero in interviews.
1297
00:50:05.490 --> 00:50:06.430
So does that count?
1298
00:50:06.710 --> 00:50:07.570
Yes, it does.
1299
00:50:08.290 --> 00:50:10.410
And also, by the way, I saw some
1300
00:50:10.410 --> 00:50:11.890
of Lee Moriarty and Tekla's art
1301
00:50:11.890 --> 00:50:12.410
this week.
1302
00:50:13.590 --> 00:50:14.530
How cool is that?
1303
00:50:14.650 --> 00:50:15.810
What they're doing is really,
1304
00:50:15.810 --> 00:50:16.210
really cool.
1305
00:50:16.350 --> 00:50:18.130
Lee's art, like his use of texture
1306
00:50:18.130 --> 00:50:18.490
and stuff.
1307
00:50:19.010 --> 00:50:21.370
I really like I'm an admirer
1308
00:50:21.370 --> 00:50:22.010
of visual art.
1309
00:50:22.010 --> 00:50:23.610
I'm not good at creating visual art
1310
00:50:23.610 --> 00:50:26.590
myself, but incredible stuff,
1311
00:50:26.890 --> 00:50:27.670
incredible stuff.
1312
00:50:28.410 --> 00:50:29.650
So we're going to hit the music.
1313
00:50:29.650 --> 00:50:30.850
And then when we come back,
1314
00:50:32.250 --> 00:50:33.190
what's going on?
1315
00:50:33.250 --> 00:50:34.030
Proto Sheeta.
1316
00:50:34.430 --> 00:50:36.370
They seem fine, but we'll see.
1317
00:50:37.270 --> 00:50:38.470
And AW seems like they're clearly
1318
00:50:38.470 --> 00:50:40.030
doing some broadcasting for some
1319
00:50:40.030 --> 00:50:42.350
very brand new viewers when we
1320
00:50:42.350 --> 00:50:43.510
come back.
1321
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:05.360
Books.
1322
00:51:07.680 --> 00:51:09.540
Proto Sheeta is fine, right?
1323
00:51:10.700 --> 00:51:11.700
Yeah, they're fine.
1324
00:51:12.420 --> 00:51:13.180
Totally fine.
1325
00:51:13.520 --> 00:51:14.180
Yeah, they're fine.
1326
00:51:14.180 --> 00:51:16.700
Because like Tekesha just like
1327
00:51:16.700 --> 00:51:17.740
happened to walk up to Kyle
1328
00:51:17.740 --> 00:51:18.900
Fletcher and Kyle Fletcher was
1329
00:51:18.900 --> 00:51:21.040
just all like, hey, just want
1330
00:51:21.040 --> 00:51:22.580
to say, you know, I hope
1331
00:51:22.580 --> 00:51:23.830
you're not too upset with me
1332
00:51:24.420 --> 00:51:26.840
for forgiving Okada because
1333
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:29.280
you know there's no way I would
1334
00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:31.820
ever turn my back on you.
1335
00:51:33.220 --> 00:51:35.380
And then Tekesha is like, I
1336
00:51:35.380 --> 00:51:37.060
would never turn my back on
1337
00:51:37.060 --> 00:51:37.520
you.
1338
00:51:38.520 --> 00:51:39.740
They're fine, right?
1339
00:51:40.620 --> 00:51:44.800
Now, what if Fletcher is playing
1340
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:46.800
the little devil right now and
1341
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:51.820
is only Proto Kada to betray
1342
00:51:51.820 --> 00:51:52.780
Okada?
1343
00:51:54.200 --> 00:51:55.140
It's an interesting thing,
1344
00:51:55.460 --> 00:51:56.940
except consider this.
1345
00:51:57.980 --> 00:52:02.940
Outside of Kyle Fletcher, who
1346
00:52:02.940 --> 00:52:04.500
are the top heels in AW right
1347
00:52:04.500 --> 00:52:04.680
now?
1348
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:08.820
It's Okada, MJF, and Swerve,
1349
00:52:09.060 --> 00:52:09.400
right?
1350
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:12.720
And then it falls off a fucking
1351
00:52:12.720 --> 00:52:13.660
cliff after that.
1352
00:52:14.140 --> 00:52:15.740
I don't think they can have.
1353
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:17.000
Yes, but you can have.
1354
00:52:17.680 --> 00:52:19.980
You can have Tekesha and Kyle
1355
00:52:19.980 --> 00:52:22.240
and have them be an angel
1356
00:52:22.240 --> 00:52:22.900
and a devil.
1357
00:52:23.220 --> 00:52:24.280
But why would they be?
1358
00:52:24.340 --> 00:52:25.600
Why would anybody be a devil
1359
00:52:25.600 --> 00:52:26.820
if they both turn on Okada?
1360
00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:28.760
Because Okada is a bitch
1361
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:29.900
and deserves it, right?
1362
00:52:29.900 --> 00:52:31.060
But then they're both angels.
1363
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:32.160
You see what I mean?
1364
00:52:33.720 --> 00:52:34.800
No, no, see Fletcher will
1365
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:35.840
still be evil.
1366
00:52:36.080 --> 00:52:36.940
Still be evil, but he loves
1367
00:52:36.940 --> 00:52:37.480
Tekesha.
1368
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:39.860
Listen, listen, this is me
1369
00:52:40.600 --> 00:52:43.720
not wanting my couple to break up.
1370
00:52:44.860 --> 00:52:46.780
I think AW's heated
1371
00:52:46.780 --> 00:52:48.570
rivalry couple might break up.
1372
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.160
They are actually in Tony Khan.
1373
00:52:51.160 --> 00:52:52.200
Can we lean a little bit more
1374
00:52:52.200 --> 00:52:53.480
into the heated rivalry thing?
1375
00:52:53.900 --> 00:52:55.140
Like women really like it.
1376
00:52:55.140 --> 00:52:56.320
And like you're really getting
1377
00:52:56.320 --> 00:52:57.520
big with the women.
1378
00:52:57.520 --> 00:52:59.140
So let's keep leaning into
1379
00:52:59.140 --> 00:53:00.000
these book tropes.
1380
00:53:00.260 --> 00:53:02.560
So like do a whole heated
1381
00:53:02.560 --> 00:53:03.400
rivalry storyline.
1382
00:53:03.620 --> 00:53:05.540
Just say, just say, just
1383
00:53:05.540 --> 00:53:06.280
say, just say.
1384
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:08.220
Protokada lost.
1385
00:53:08.340 --> 00:53:09.620
Have Protoshita ever lost?
1386
00:53:09.820 --> 00:53:10.660
Need I say more?
1387
00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:11.920
Astronema?
1388
00:53:13.040 --> 00:53:14.280
No, you needn't.
1389
00:53:15.200 --> 00:53:16.180
But you're welcome to.
1390
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:17.740
Just you're welcome to.
1391
00:53:18.460 --> 00:53:19.380
Nuclear Wessel's ex.
1392
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:20.840
Fletcher is the center of the DCF.
1393
00:53:20.900 --> 00:53:21.460
I agree.
1394
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:23.660
Even more so than Okada, I think.
1395
00:53:23.680 --> 00:53:25.200
I think Okada is really there
1396
00:53:26.100 --> 00:53:27.880
to continue to shine up
1397
00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:29.280
Kyle Fletcher, really.
1398
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:31.900
And Kyle Fletcher will turn
1399
00:53:31.900 --> 00:53:33.000
against Okada at some point
1400
00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:34.580
and become a massive baby face.
1401
00:53:35.540 --> 00:53:36.880
And then have to reckon with
1402
00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:38.400
everything he did to Will Ospreay
1403
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:39.540
and all this other shit.
1404
00:53:39.900 --> 00:53:41.040
It's going to be wild.
1405
00:53:41.620 --> 00:53:43.600
He's going to end Swerve's terror.
1406
00:53:43.740 --> 00:53:45.380
Maybe, maybe.
1407
00:53:46.820 --> 00:53:47.780
All right.
1408
00:53:48.220 --> 00:53:50.560
MJF, Omega, Ospreay,
1409
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:51.880
Swerve, Fletcher.
1410
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:54.080
Cowdog Game says the Proto Star
1411
00:53:54.080 --> 00:53:54.700
Kyle Fletcher.
1412
00:53:54.860 --> 00:53:55.700
I love both of you,
1413
00:53:55.700 --> 00:53:56.460
but I'm sorry.
1414
00:53:56.540 --> 00:53:57.560
And Kyle Fletcher walks
1415
00:53:57.560 --> 00:53:59.060
out on both of them.
1416
00:54:01.060 --> 00:54:02.260
So Fletcher's just like
1417
00:54:02.260 --> 00:54:03.320
I can't deal with your drama.
1418
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:05.160
You know, you two
1419
00:54:05.160 --> 00:54:06.280
can't be professionals.
1420
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:06.760
Fuck you.
1421
00:54:07.520 --> 00:54:08.480
Because I also think it'd be funny
1422
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:09.900
to see Okada come running back
1423
00:54:09.900 --> 00:54:11.000
to like the Bucks and Kenny
1424
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:12.520
and being like, oh, you know
1425
00:54:12.520 --> 00:54:13.200
that's going to happen.
1426
00:54:13.260 --> 00:54:14.540
We're family, right?
1427
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.200
You know, like I love
1428
00:54:17.200 --> 00:54:18.220
when Okada was like,
1429
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:19.700
remember when you guys said
1430
00:54:19.700 --> 00:54:20.520
we were like family?
1431
00:54:20.660 --> 00:54:22.080
You guys are so stupid.
1432
00:54:24.640 --> 00:54:26.320
He's such a ruthless piece of shit.
1433
00:54:26.460 --> 00:54:27.520
I love him.
1434
00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:29.120
I could just see like Kenny
1435
00:54:29.120 --> 00:54:29.800
sitting in the background
1436
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:31.140
going, don't blink.
1437
00:54:31.600 --> 00:54:33.240
Yes, yes, yes.
1438
00:54:35.160 --> 00:54:36.820
Bleary Lied 7 Books is engaging
1439
00:54:36.820 --> 00:54:38.620
in a Shipdom classic tactic.
1440
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:39.820
One used for many decades
1441
00:54:39.820 --> 00:54:40.620
in fandoms.
1442
00:54:40.620 --> 00:54:41.580
It's called Delusion.
1443
00:54:42.740 --> 00:54:44.720
Yeah, yeah, I believe that's
1444
00:54:44.720 --> 00:54:45.500
I was called Deluded
1445
00:54:45.500 --> 00:54:46.700
for a very long time
1446
00:54:46.700 --> 00:54:47.620
when I was watching
1447
00:54:47.620 --> 00:54:48.600
Dawson's Creek and everyone
1448
00:54:48.600 --> 00:54:50.040
was like, oh, Joey
1449
00:54:50.040 --> 00:54:51.480
and Dawson are end game.
1450
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:52.880
And I'm like, it's Joey
1451
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:54.720
and Panksy motherfuckers.
1452
00:54:55.040 --> 00:54:55.880
But I was right.
1453
00:54:56.280 --> 00:54:58.800
So now and now you can
1454
00:54:58.800 --> 00:54:59.540
never back down
1455
00:54:59.540 --> 00:55:00.200
because you were right
1456
00:55:00.200 --> 00:55:00.940
that one time.
1457
00:55:01.620 --> 00:55:02.500
And so now you think
1458
00:55:02.500 --> 00:55:03.540
you're right about every time.
1459
00:55:03.540 --> 00:55:03.960
Right.
1460
00:55:05.160 --> 00:55:06.800
I also did about Spike and Buffy
1461
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:07.480
and in the comics
1462
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:08.340
she ends with Spike.
1463
00:55:08.600 --> 00:55:10.980
So like, I have a streak.
1464
00:55:11.460 --> 00:55:12.860
You're a professional shipper
1465
00:55:12.860 --> 00:55:13.500
is what you're saying.
1466
00:55:14.260 --> 00:55:16.500
You ship more packages
1467
00:55:16.500 --> 00:55:18.280
than FedEx, baby.
1468
00:55:19.360 --> 00:55:20.620
Probably more accurately
1469
00:55:20.620 --> 00:55:21.940
than FedEx for Christ's sake.
1470
00:55:22.080 --> 00:55:23.400
Those bastards never get
1471
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:24.380
anything to me on time.
1472
00:55:24.640 --> 00:55:26.040
When it says the date on it,
1473
00:55:26.140 --> 00:55:27.140
I'm like, so like two days
1474
00:55:27.140 --> 00:55:27.980
after this date is
1475
00:55:27.980 --> 00:55:29.160
when it'll get here.
1476
00:55:30.340 --> 00:55:31.380
They're always late.
1477
00:55:32.160 --> 00:55:34.020
So speaking of always late,
1478
00:55:34.020 --> 00:55:36.000
what's right on time for AEW
1479
00:55:36.500 --> 00:55:37.620
is all these new people
1480
00:55:37.620 --> 00:55:38.600
checking out the shows.
1481
00:55:39.040 --> 00:55:42.500
OK, yeah, like we don't
1482
00:55:42.500 --> 00:55:43.420
like to talk ratings.
1483
00:55:43.600 --> 00:55:45.440
I happened to see something
1484
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:47.580
that on Sunday,
1485
00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:49.180
the Sunday collision.
1486
00:55:50.040 --> 00:55:53.620
Drew like almost 700,000 people.
1487
00:55:54.100 --> 00:55:56.320
That's it's and that's insane.
1488
00:55:57.460 --> 00:55:58.460
And on Saturday,
1489
00:55:58.500 --> 00:55:59.720
the night you would think,
1490
00:56:00.040 --> 00:56:01.300
you know, they might actually
1491
00:56:01.300 --> 00:56:02.280
have the better draw.
1492
00:56:02.300 --> 00:56:03.220
They only they didn't
1493
00:56:03.220 --> 00:56:04.200
even draw 500.
1494
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:06.980
But like 700,000 people.
1495
00:56:06.980 --> 00:56:08.740
So what I noticed on this dynamite
1496
00:56:08.740 --> 00:56:10.840
is that AEW is definitely
1497
00:56:10.840 --> 00:56:12.420
realizing they are talking
1498
00:56:12.420 --> 00:56:13.980
to a lot of new fans.
1499
00:56:15.160 --> 00:56:16.340
And so I noticed there was
1500
00:56:16.340 --> 00:56:18.180
a lot more of like
1501
00:56:18.180 --> 00:56:19.660
this is who Darby Allen is.
1502
00:56:19.720 --> 00:56:21.520
Look at this compilation of him
1503
00:56:21.520 --> 00:56:22.860
crashing into shit.
1504
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:25.040
You know, like this is the store
1505
00:56:25.040 --> 00:56:26.120
or this is what just happened
1506
00:56:26.120 --> 00:56:27.580
with MJF and Hangman.
1507
00:56:27.620 --> 00:56:29.360
You know, there was a lot of that.
1508
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:31.380
Now, this is a major complaint
1509
00:56:31.380 --> 00:56:32.780
about WWE as they pad
1510
00:56:32.780 --> 00:56:34.740
their shows with video packages, right?
1511
00:56:35.820 --> 00:56:36.540
Here's why I don't have
1512
00:56:36.540 --> 00:56:37.960
a problem with AEW doing it.
1513
00:56:38.160 --> 00:56:39.260
Because they're not changing
1514
00:56:39.260 --> 00:56:41.400
the storytelling or the wrestling
1515
00:56:42.060 --> 00:56:45.060
to appeal to the mythical person
1516
00:56:45.060 --> 00:56:46.300
they think they're trying to reach.
1517
00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:49.120
But there's also more
1518
00:56:49.120 --> 00:56:50.400
than 45 minutes of wrestling.
1519
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:51.980
And there's overruns
1520
00:56:51.980 --> 00:56:52.840
every single week,
1521
00:56:53.180 --> 00:56:54.200
like every single week.
1522
00:56:55.020 --> 00:56:56.840
So it dynamized practically
1523
00:56:56.840 --> 00:56:58.120
a two and a half hour show.
1524
00:56:59.300 --> 00:57:00.580
Yeah, they're doing
1525
00:57:00.580 --> 00:57:02.140
a really good job at like
1526
00:57:02.720 --> 00:57:03.760
embracing new fans
1527
00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:04.880
without completely changing
1528
00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:06.000
their product right now,
1529
00:57:06.160 --> 00:57:08.020
which is the issue we had
1530
00:57:08.020 --> 00:57:09.420
the last time this happened.
1531
00:57:10.020 --> 00:57:10.800
They tried to cater
1532
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:12.120
too much for new fans.
1533
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:13.860
So I think they learned their lesson
1534
00:57:13.860 --> 00:57:16.380
and OK, like people stuck around
1535
00:57:16.380 --> 00:57:17.280
that last time too.
1536
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:18.740
So like you're either going to like it
1537
00:57:18.740 --> 00:57:19.280
or you're not.
1538
00:57:19.680 --> 00:57:21.140
And this is what we are.
1539
00:57:21.200 --> 00:57:22.960
But this is what our
1540
00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:24.620
our base of fans
1541
00:57:24.620 --> 00:57:25.640
who have been with us
1542
00:57:25.640 --> 00:57:26.400
since the beginning,
1543
00:57:26.560 --> 00:57:27.540
why they like us.
1544
00:57:27.720 --> 00:57:28.780
I will give credit
1545
00:57:28.780 --> 00:57:29.940
where I feel it's due.
1546
00:57:30.040 --> 00:57:31.320
I am not a CM Punk fan,
1547
00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:32.120
as people know,
1548
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:34.580
but just minorly not that
1549
00:57:34.580 --> 00:57:35.500
the feud with MJF
1550
00:57:35.500 --> 00:57:37.420
was very compelling television, OK?
1551
00:57:38.020 --> 00:57:39.680
However, the promotion
1552
00:57:39.680 --> 00:57:40.700
changed way too much
1553
00:57:40.700 --> 00:57:41.540
after he got there.
1554
00:57:41.600 --> 00:57:42.840
And I think that was
1555
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:43.820
his influence on Tony.
1556
00:57:43.980 --> 00:57:44.900
I think Tony was acting
1557
00:57:44.900 --> 00:57:46.880
like a fucking little Mark ass
1558
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:48.320
bitch ass dumb ass.
1559
00:57:48.340 --> 00:57:50.020
He was, you know,
1560
00:57:50.020 --> 00:57:51.400
just marking out for Phil
1561
00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:53.760
in real time at all times, like.
1562
00:57:54.940 --> 00:57:56.500
He created a show.
1563
00:57:56.680 --> 00:57:57.940
Yeah, and they did try
1564
00:57:57.940 --> 00:57:58.720
to change the product
1565
00:57:58.720 --> 00:58:00.720
to appeal to what they thought
1566
00:58:00.720 --> 00:58:02.160
mythical wrestling viewer
1567
00:58:02.160 --> 00:58:03.300
would want to watch
1568
00:58:03.300 --> 00:58:04.100
instead of doing
1569
00:58:04.100 --> 00:58:05.080
what worked for A.W.
1570
00:58:05.200 --> 00:58:06.520
before Phil ever got there
1571
00:58:07.420 --> 00:58:09.440
and make Phil fit into.
1572
00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:10.900
He was a cancer.
1573
00:58:11.160 --> 00:58:13.260
Well, and it's really on Tony
1574
00:58:13.260 --> 00:58:14.820
mostly than even more
1575
00:58:14.820 --> 00:58:15.820
than Phil is like.
1576
00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:18.400
Yeah, Tony bent
1577
00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:20.480
the entire promotion around punk
1578
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:21.740
instead of making punk
1579
00:58:21.740 --> 00:58:22.640
fit into their scheme.
1580
00:58:23.040 --> 00:58:23.580
You know what I mean?
1581
00:58:24.700 --> 00:58:25.700
See, but I also think
1582
00:58:25.700 --> 00:58:26.880
it's Phil's ego
1583
00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:28.080
that was so outrageous
1584
00:58:28.080 --> 00:58:29.280
that Tony had no choice
1585
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:30.140
to appease.
1586
00:58:30.140 --> 00:58:31.080
Well, I mean, especially
1587
00:58:31.080 --> 00:58:32.020
after all the hype
1588
00:58:32.020 --> 00:58:33.320
that came with him signing Phil.
1589
00:58:34.380 --> 00:58:37.700
And then so I see people
1590
00:58:37.700 --> 00:58:40.240
on threads every single week now.
1591
00:58:40.240 --> 00:58:41.280
Like I'm checking out Dynamite
1592
00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:42.340
for the first time.
1593
00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:44.020
The arenas look full.
1594
00:58:44.300 --> 00:58:45.280
They I mean, you know,
1595
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:46.680
they're smaller venues,
1596
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:48.220
but they look very full.
1597
00:58:48.660 --> 00:58:49.620
Very excited.
1598
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:50.960
Well, yeah, they're not having
1599
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:51.320
a time.
1600
00:58:51.460 --> 00:58:52.080
No, they're having
1601
00:58:52.080 --> 00:58:54.400
or charging you $10,000 to sit.
1602
00:58:54.580 --> 00:58:55.800
They're having a damn good time.
1603
00:58:56.020 --> 00:58:57.460
What the fuck, by the way.
1604
00:58:57.780 --> 00:59:00.120
So I heard about this
1605
00:59:00.610 --> 00:59:03.120
that you can pay $10,000
1606
00:59:03.120 --> 00:59:04.800
to sit on a bus
1607
00:59:05.560 --> 00:59:07.000
with Cody Rhodes.
1608
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:08.440
Did the mom who stole
1609
00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:09.080
all that money
1610
00:59:09.080 --> 00:59:10.250
buy those tickets or what?
1611
00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:12.840
Oh, maybe ladies stole
1612
00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:14.360
like two and a half million dollars
1613
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:16.760
and spent $350,000
1614
00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:17.980
on WWE shit.
1615
00:59:20.150 --> 00:59:20.830
Come to a W
1616
00:59:20.830 --> 00:59:22.110
where you don't have to steal money
1617
00:59:22.110 --> 00:59:23.690
to pay for tickets right
1618
00:59:23.690 --> 00:59:25.010
that literally could be
1619
00:59:25.010 --> 00:59:26.010
their marketing campaign.
1620
00:59:26.010 --> 00:59:29.190
Yeah, actually, they should do that.
1621
00:59:29.270 --> 00:59:30.030
Nuclear Wessel acts
1622
00:59:30.030 --> 00:59:31.230
lying in the chat again.
1623
00:59:31.230 --> 00:59:32.590
Best way to win new fans over
1624
00:59:32.590 --> 00:59:34.030
is to bring out Jeff Jarrett again.
1625
00:59:34.150 --> 00:59:36.690
OK, OK, well, I'm yeah.
1626
00:59:36.870 --> 00:59:38.110
No, stop it.
1627
00:59:38.730 --> 00:59:40.170
However, I do have.
1628
00:59:41.730 --> 00:59:43.630
We all saw who trademarked
1629
00:59:43.630 --> 00:59:44.250
something new.
1630
00:59:44.250 --> 00:59:46.570
Yes, and that's not a big,
1631
00:59:46.630 --> 00:59:47.830
big sign that he's going
1632
00:59:47.830 --> 00:59:48.710
to the other company
1633
00:59:48.710 --> 00:59:49.770
because that other company
1634
00:59:49.770 --> 00:59:51.570
does not let you trademark.
1635
00:59:51.810 --> 00:59:54.330
Yeah, we were talking myself
1636
00:59:54.330 --> 00:59:55.490
and some people, you know,
1637
00:59:55.490 --> 00:59:56.510
we're talking about
1638
00:59:57.310 --> 00:59:59.310
him trademarking the cornerstone.
1639
01:00:01.630 --> 01:00:03.190
And then Jericho realized
1640
01:00:03.190 --> 01:00:03.770
somebody tells him
1641
01:00:03.770 --> 01:00:04.790
that's a really dated
1642
01:00:04.790 --> 01:00:06.510
like not cool sounding name
1643
01:00:06.510 --> 01:00:07.790
and then he ends up like coming
1644
01:00:07.790 --> 01:00:09.510
like using chat GPT
1645
01:00:09.510 --> 01:00:11.050
like what do the kids say now?
1646
01:00:11.050 --> 01:00:12.430
And then he like trademarks
1647
01:00:12.430 --> 01:00:14.610
the aura farmer, but he like
1648
01:00:14.610 --> 01:00:16.230
because he thinks it sounds cool,
1649
01:00:16.230 --> 01:00:18.310
you know, but then he just comes out
1650
01:00:18.310 --> 01:00:20.130
in like overalls with a pitchfork
1651
01:00:20.130 --> 01:00:22.210
and he's like I'm the aura farmer.
1652
01:00:22.490 --> 01:00:22.910
Chris Jericho.
1653
01:00:28.350 --> 01:00:30.030
Listen, I this is going to piss
1654
01:00:30.030 --> 01:00:31.690
people off, but I said this
1655
01:00:31.690 --> 01:00:32.910
last night and I'll say it again.
1656
01:00:33.270 --> 01:00:35.110
If it means I can hear Jared
1657
01:00:35.110 --> 01:00:37.730
Judas one more time in a stadium.
1658
01:00:40.900 --> 01:00:41.860
I'm not going to complain.
1659
01:00:43.640 --> 01:00:45.000
I just want it one more time.
1660
01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:45.980
One more time.
1661
01:00:47.080 --> 01:00:48.740
Cowdog game says WWE fans
1662
01:00:48.740 --> 01:00:49.740
have told me this before.
1663
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:51.380
What they like for the casuals
1664
01:00:51.380 --> 01:00:52.640
is telling them what the story
1665
01:00:52.640 --> 01:00:54.160
is week to week with video packages
1666
01:00:54.160 --> 01:00:56.220
without trying to follow everything,
1667
01:00:57.300 --> 01:00:59.000
including having to be online.
1668
01:00:59.780 --> 01:01:01.080
And I think that's true.
1669
01:01:01.080 --> 01:01:02.200
I think people don't want
1670
01:01:02.200 --> 01:01:03.660
to feel like they, you know,
1671
01:01:03.660 --> 01:01:04.400
they have to.
1672
01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:06.460
And I don't want a W to change
1673
01:01:06.460 --> 01:01:07.480
the way they tell stories
1674
01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:08.180
because I love it.
1675
01:01:08.180 --> 01:01:11.900
And I'm an AW total chill mark.
1676
01:01:13.040 --> 01:01:14.820
Little AW bitch boy over here.
1677
01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:16.560
But like I'm saying, like
1678
01:01:16.560 --> 01:01:17.980
I want the story telling
1679
01:01:17.980 --> 01:01:18.780
to be intricate.
1680
01:01:18.780 --> 01:01:20.660
And so if they feel that they
1681
01:01:20.660 --> 01:01:22.860
can air a few video packages
1682
01:01:22.860 --> 01:01:25.400
telling people what's going on,
1683
01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:25.860
that's fine.
1684
01:01:25.860 --> 01:01:26.680
I don't mind.
1685
01:01:27.940 --> 01:01:29.540
It kind of feels like they're airing
1686
01:01:29.540 --> 01:01:30.120
what they would have put
1687
01:01:30.120 --> 01:01:31.460
on social media anyway.
1688
01:01:31.540 --> 01:01:32.520
Yeah, exactly.
1689
01:01:32.520 --> 01:01:34.900
Which I, which is why I'm fine with it.
1690
01:01:35.020 --> 01:01:37.860
Cause like AW is known
1691
01:01:37.860 --> 01:01:38.760
for making you work
1692
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:40.040
to know the story, which is.
1693
01:01:41.700 --> 01:01:42.960
Paying attention to everything
1694
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:43.640
that they're doing.
1695
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:47.220
So it just feels like they're
1696
01:01:47.220 --> 01:01:48.980
taking out a little bit of a step.
1697
01:01:49.160 --> 01:01:49.520
Yep.
1698
01:01:50.020 --> 01:01:51.820
I agree with Blair line here.
1699
01:01:51.940 --> 01:01:53.560
I can blame Phil for being a prick,
1700
01:01:53.560 --> 01:01:54.860
but I much more blame Tony
1701
01:01:54.860 --> 01:01:55.920
for enabling his ego.
1702
01:01:56.040 --> 01:01:57.200
Like punk doesn't have any power
1703
01:01:57.200 --> 01:01:58.780
that Tony doesn't give to him willingly
1704
01:01:58.780 --> 01:02:00.800
because he's a big old punk mark.
1705
01:02:01.220 --> 01:02:03.820
100% that was Tony's biggest mistake
1706
01:02:03.820 --> 01:02:05.720
was putting the belt on CM Punk
1707
01:02:05.720 --> 01:02:07.120
and taking it off hangman page
1708
01:02:07.120 --> 01:02:08.560
and truncating the story
1709
01:02:08.560 --> 01:02:09.260
that they were going to tell
1710
01:02:09.260 --> 01:02:09.880
with hangman.
1711
01:02:10.300 --> 01:02:10.640
Okay.
1712
01:02:10.660 --> 01:02:11.740
That was the biggest mistake
1713
01:02:11.740 --> 01:02:12.480
Tony ever made.
1714
01:02:12.520 --> 01:02:13.520
I think he's learned.
1715
01:02:14.580 --> 01:02:15.240
That doesn't mean he won't
1716
01:02:15.240 --> 01:02:16.280
make other big mistakes,
1717
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:17.160
but I doubt he'll make
1718
01:02:17.160 --> 01:02:18.720
that particular one again.
1719
01:02:19.120 --> 01:02:20.400
Well, he's going to always
1720
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:21.200
make mistakes, right?
1721
01:02:21.260 --> 01:02:22.380
I mean, it's just a part of life,
1722
01:02:22.380 --> 01:02:24.420
but he seems to have a better head.
1723
01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:25.760
No, he will never make
1724
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:26.840
another mistake again.
1725
01:02:27.080 --> 01:02:28.580
He can, he got one.
1726
01:02:28.700 --> 01:02:29.780
He gets that one
1727
01:02:29.780 --> 01:02:31.120
and that's the only one.
1728
01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:33.600
Have you been hanging out
1729
01:02:33.600 --> 01:02:34.660
with Blue Sky too much?
1730
01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:37.840
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
1731
01:02:39.100 --> 01:02:40.120
I'm sorry, Blue Sky.
1732
01:02:40.120 --> 01:02:41.140
I want to love you, baby,
1733
01:02:41.240 --> 01:02:43.360
but it just ain't no fun.
1734
01:02:43.460 --> 01:02:44.780
You make it so hard.
1735
01:02:46.080 --> 01:02:48.340
I actually did deactivate my account.
1736
01:02:48.580 --> 01:02:50.180
Books, where can the people find you?
1737
01:02:51.140 --> 01:02:53.580
I'm now only on threads
1738
01:02:53.580 --> 01:02:56.580
and Instagram at books
1739
01:02:56.580 --> 01:02:57.380
and body slams.
1740
01:02:57.740 --> 01:03:00.780
You can also follow my twin brother.
1741
01:03:01.380 --> 01:03:02.520
I don't know his username
1742
01:03:02.520 --> 01:03:03.480
because he just made it.
1743
01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:04.680
He was a loser.
1744
01:03:05.060 --> 01:03:06.560
Only just joined social media.
1745
01:03:07.600 --> 01:03:09.020
Yeah, there's a someone else
1746
01:03:09.020 --> 01:03:09.780
I have that name.
1747
01:03:11.040 --> 01:03:12.540
The rudeness of someone
1748
01:03:12.540 --> 01:03:13.580
stealing my brother's name.
1749
01:03:13.660 --> 01:03:14.500
So your brother really went
1750
01:03:14.500 --> 01:03:15.700
into a lot of detail explaining
1751
01:03:15.700 --> 01:03:16.420
to you what happened
1752
01:03:16.420 --> 01:03:17.460
with his username, huh?
1753
01:03:19.380 --> 01:03:19.880
Oh my God.
1754
01:03:20.160 --> 01:03:20.840
He FaceTimed me.
1755
01:03:20.940 --> 01:03:21.780
Your brother who is definitely
1756
01:03:21.780 --> 01:03:23.560
not like went into a lot.
1757
01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:25.260
My brother who's definitely not me.
1758
01:03:25.720 --> 01:03:26.540
A lot of effort.
1759
01:03:26.700 --> 01:03:28.140
It's underscore books, Jackson,
1760
01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:29.220
underscore books, Jackson.
1761
01:03:30.100 --> 01:03:30.120
Okay.
1762
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:32.560
And I swear it's not me
1763
01:03:32.560 --> 01:03:33.720
and a filter, a beard filter
1764
01:03:33.720 --> 01:03:34.980
with a voice modulator.
1765
01:03:35.580 --> 01:03:36.420
Definitely not.
1766
01:03:38.180 --> 01:03:39.300
Definitely not.
1767
01:03:39.640 --> 01:03:40.320
That's good to know.
1768
01:03:40.420 --> 01:03:41.040
That's good to know.
1769
01:03:41.140 --> 01:03:42.400
So make sure you follow books online.
1770
01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:43.520
Books will be back here.
1771
01:03:44.020 --> 01:03:46.120
Books and I do this together a lot.
1772
01:03:47.380 --> 01:03:49.280
I'm iBladeDaily anywhere

1792
01:04:19.840 --> 01:04:20.680
Tell us what you want to see
1793
01:04:20.680 --> 01:04:21.680
from the bonus content
1794
01:04:21.680 --> 01:04:22.340
are we going to be making?
1795
01:04:22.340 --> 01:04:23.520
Because otherwise you just get
1796
01:04:23.520 --> 01:04:24.960
what you get, right?
1797
01:04:25.120 --> 01:04:26.080
Beggars can't be choosers
1798
01:04:26.080 --> 01:04:26.800
and nobody's begging,
1799
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:28.200
but still I'll be choosing
1800
01:04:28.200 --> 01:04:29.640
because you didn't tell me anything.
1801
01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:30.960
I gave you a chance.
1802
01:04:31.380 --> 01:04:31.780
Right.
1803
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:36.580
So you heard him.
1804
01:04:36.680 --> 01:04:37.080
You heard him.
1805
01:04:37.120 --> 01:04:38.240
Also, it's a big help
1806
01:04:38.240 --> 01:04:39.560
if you listen to this show
1807
01:04:39.560 --> 01:04:40.840
on Apple podcasts
1808
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:42.140
or Spotify or whatever.
1809
01:04:42.140 --> 01:04:42.800
If you go
1810
01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:43.920
and you leave us a little review,
1811
01:04:44.020 --> 01:04:45.060
gives a five star rating.
1812
01:04:45.540 --> 01:04:46.300
It does boost us
1813
01:04:46.300 --> 01:04:47.440
in their little algorithm.
1814
01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:49.200
You may have heard of that before.
1815
01:04:49.260 --> 01:04:50.340
It's a brand new tech thing
1816
01:04:50.340 --> 01:04:51.380
the kids are talking about.
1817
01:04:51.580 --> 01:04:52.220
Algo rhythm.
1818
01:04:53.440 --> 01:04:54.600
But, you know,
1819
01:04:54.740 --> 01:04:56.040
it's just like groceries
1820
01:04:56.040 --> 01:04:57.220
is an old fashioned word.
1821
01:04:57.400 --> 01:04:58.300
As Donald Trump would say,
1822
01:04:58.460 --> 01:05:00.060
it's an old fashioned word.
1823
01:05:01.120 --> 01:05:01.520
Groceries.
1824
01:05:01.520 --> 01:05:02.860
Until next time, folks,
1825
01:05:03.180 --> 01:05:03.980
I'm Blay Daily.
1826
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:05.860
And I'm Books and Body Slams
1827
01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:07.200
and not Book Jackson.
1828
01:05:07.680 --> 01:05:10.020
Pro Wrestling Forever.
