Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out Ep. 104

AEW Dynasty Predictions: Omega’s Future & FTR vs Copeland/Christian

Blade Daily takes the solo chair on Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out to break down the entire AEW Dynasty card from top to bottom, digging into the story beats, momentum shifts, and stakes behind every match. This isn’t just a quick picks show—it’s a full walkthrough of how AEW got here and what each outcome could mean on the other side. From potential show-stealers to matches flying under the radar, Dynasty is shaping up to be one of those cards where the results could ripple across the company for months.

The biggest questions loom large: is Kenny Omega truly on the path back to the AEW World Championship, and do Christian Cage and Adam Copeland have what it takes to pry the tag titles away from FTR? Blade lays out his predictions while reacting to fan takes pulled straight from the livestream chat—some sharp, some chaotic, all part of the fun. It’s a mix of analysis, instinct, and a little bit of madness as the road to Dynasty comes into focus.

    00:00:01.820 --> 00:00:02.900

    Sicko's Club.

    2

    00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:07.540

    Hey, come here.

    3

    00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:09.200

    You like pro wrestling?

    4

    00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:11.600

    We got a little something-something for you.

    5

    00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:14.280

    Two fans, 3,000 miles away.

    6

    00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:17.180

    We've each been watching for more than 30 years.

    7

    00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:18.840

    Celebrate the art form.

    8

    00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:22.680

    The homoeroticism.

    9

    00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:24.340

    We hate great magic.

    10

    00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:26.340

    We hate analyzing stories.

    11

    00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:27.900

    We hate experts.

    12

    00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:32.900

    We just sit down, shut up, and mark

    13

    00:00:38.530 --> 00:00:39.550

    Oh, everybody.

    14

    00:00:39.790 --> 00:00:44.110

    It's your boy, Blaine Daly, and we are back with yet another edition of Sit Down, Shut

    15

    00:00:44.110 --> 00:00:46.570

    Up, Mark Howell to Pro Wrestling Podcast.

    16

    00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:52.470

    It's about pro wrestling, and I am joined here today by no one.

    17

    00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:54.110

    I'm flying solo today.

    18

    00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:58.670

    So if I'm the most annoying part about this show, one, I don't know why you would

    19

    00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:02.470

    listen to it, but two, I'm the only part of the show.

    20

    00:01:02.570 --> 00:01:04.709

    The only audio part of this show.

    21

    00:01:04.709 --> 00:01:11.150

    I am joined by a chat full of amazing people, and we were just catching up, just

    22

    00:01:11.150 --> 00:01:15.230

    trading pleasantries and talking about who's going to dynasty.

    23

    00:01:15.790 --> 00:01:16.370

    I am.

    24

    00:01:16.930 --> 00:01:23.250

    And we were talking about AEW being the best wrestling on the planet and the best

    25

    00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:25.310

    live wrestling experience on the planet.

    26

    00:01:25.770 --> 00:01:32.850

    It's amazing when I look at what people are paying like $8,000 to experience at

    27

    00:01:32.850 --> 00:01:39.550

    a wrestling show and then looking at my $200 ticket to dynasty and going like,

    28

    00:01:39.550 --> 00:01:43.450

    holy shit, this is like, it's like we're living in completely different worlds.

    29

    00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:44.230

    You know what I mean?

    30

    00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:47.370

    So how many of y'all watch anime?

    31

    00:01:47.490 --> 00:01:49.310

    How many of y'all are anime people?

    32

    00:01:50.070 --> 00:01:55.030

    So my best friend, some people have lost family to manga.

    33

    00:01:55.210 --> 00:01:58.730

    I lost my best friend to anime and manga.

    34

    00:01:59.870 --> 00:02:00.570

    So not manga.

    35

    00:02:00.570 --> 00:02:08.550

    I lost him to manga years back, and it's because it's really good.

    36

    00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:13.750

    As it turns out, there's a lot of really good manga and anime, but I resist these

    37

    00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:16.590

    things like when somebody's like, you should really, you should really, you

    38

    00:02:16.590 --> 00:02:18.770

    should really, that's what I'm going to resist.

    39

    00:02:19.070 --> 00:02:19.510

    Okay.

    40

    00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:23.570

    And partly that's because people oversell things when they like them.

    41

    00:02:23.790 --> 00:02:26.570

    And so I see that with AEW all the time.

    42

    00:02:26.590 --> 00:02:28.230

    I'll tell people how much I love AEW.

    43

    00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:30.010

    And they're like, you're a fucking Mark.

    44

    00:02:30.110 --> 00:02:32.070

    You know, it's fucking, it's not that good.

    45

    00:02:32.450 --> 00:02:33.370

    No, it really is.

    46

    00:02:33.370 --> 00:02:38.370

    Like, I really feel like despite however I sing their praises, you go to

    47

    00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:39.010

    an AEW show.

    48

    00:02:39.170 --> 00:02:42.130

    If you watch an AEW show, it's hard not to walk away thinking it was

    49

    00:02:42.130 --> 00:02:42.870

    pretty fucking good.

    50

    00:02:43.250 --> 00:02:47.430

    But my friend has been recommending this anime for a while now.

    51

    00:02:47.490 --> 00:02:52.390

    It's called Freerun, Freerun, Beyond Journey's End.

    52

    00:02:53.050 --> 00:02:56.810

    Got to say, if you get a chance to watch this shit, watch it.

    53

    00:02:56.810 --> 00:02:59.110

    Cause it is goddamn good.

    54

    00:02:59.590 --> 00:02:59.870

    Okay.

    55

    00:03:00.150 --> 00:03:06.590

    This is like, like American storytelling in so many ways, with the notable

    56

    00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:09.050

    exception of pro wrestling and AEW at this very moment.

    57

    00:03:09.650 --> 00:03:11.430

    It just feels like kind of stifled.

    58

    00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:14.510

    Like everybody's like, there's like three different types of stories that

    59

    00:03:14.510 --> 00:03:17.370

    you can make in a movie or a TV show right now.

    60

    00:03:17.430 --> 00:03:20.470

    And they just kind of run in circles, chasing their tails after each

    61

    00:03:20.470 --> 00:03:20.890

    other constantly.

    62

    00:03:22.410 --> 00:03:26.150

    You know, it's like some weird Avengers knockoff or, or some book

    63

    00:03:26.150 --> 00:03:30.470

    that's, you know, just been CGI'd into reality or something, or they're

    64

    00:03:30.470 --> 00:03:34.150

    going to tell some kind of Instagram or not Instagram, sorry, a

    65

    00:03:34.150 --> 00:03:36.490

    Pixar style movie.

    66

    00:03:36.590 --> 00:03:39.110

    Like that's going to be made by Pixar or somebody else.

    67

    00:03:39.790 --> 00:03:43.570

    Or there's just going to be, you know, if there's like Indian films

    68

    00:03:43.570 --> 00:03:46.150

    being made, but they're in theaters for like one day and then they're

    69

    00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:46.430

    gone.

    70

    00:03:47.510 --> 00:03:51.990

    This story is so innovative and the way it's told is so innovative.

    71

    00:03:51.990 --> 00:03:58.650

    If you're into fantasy and you're into, you know, it's not like just, it's

    72

    00:03:58.650 --> 00:04:01.550

    not a shonen types film where there's action all the time.

    73

    00:04:01.830 --> 00:04:06.450

    It's not a shonen type show, but it is extremely good.

    74

    00:04:06.970 --> 00:04:10.990

    So a career in at beyond journey's end, highly recommend it.

    75

    00:04:11.130 --> 00:04:11.210

    Okay.

    76

    00:04:11.410 --> 00:04:13.490

    Highly, highly recommend it.

    77

    00:04:13.550 --> 00:04:13.850

    Antoine.

    78

    00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:14.230

    Yes.

    79

    00:04:14.330 --> 00:04:16.570

    Anime, except that cheesy teeny bopper teenage stuff.

    80

    00:04:16.649 --> 00:04:17.430

    Keep it.

    81

    00:04:18.149 --> 00:04:19.870

    I assume anime is like anything.

    82

    00:04:20.029 --> 00:04:21.670

    There is a lot of good and a lot of bad.

    83

    00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:23.250

    You know, there's a lot of bad wrestling.

    84

    00:04:23.570 --> 00:04:24.570

    There's a lot of bad music.

    85

    00:04:24.770 --> 00:04:27.090

    You know, I assume anime is the same.

    86

    00:04:27.470 --> 00:04:31.800

    Real hardcore Holly in response to me talking about probably about me

    87

    00:04:32.430 --> 00:04:34.810

    avoiding things when people sell them too hard to me.

    88

    00:04:35.070 --> 00:04:35.490

    Oh my God.

    89

    00:04:35.490 --> 00:04:36.070

    Blade same.

    90

    00:04:36.510 --> 00:04:36.750

    Yeah.

    91

    00:04:36.870 --> 00:04:38.130

    I think there's a lot of us out there.

    92

    00:04:38.190 --> 00:04:43.950

    I think there is just this situational avoidance that I get into.

    93

    00:04:44.110 --> 00:04:44.370

    No.

    94

    00:04:44.610 --> 00:04:44.850

    Sist.

    95

    00:04:46.070 --> 00:04:47.030

    Listening while driving.

    96

    00:04:47.170 --> 00:04:47.870

    But I'm here.

    97

    00:04:47.990 --> 00:04:49.530

    Thank you for being with us.

    98

    00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:50.930

    Thank you.

    99

    00:04:50.930 --> 00:04:52.370

    Real hardcore Holly.

    100

    00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:53.570

    Close friend in high school.

    101

    00:04:53.610 --> 00:04:55.070

    Lost him to ghost in the shell.

    102

    00:04:58.430 --> 00:04:58.910

    Yep.

    103

    00:04:59.150 --> 00:04:59.590

    Yep.

    104

    00:04:59.670 --> 00:05:00.110

    Yep.

    105

    00:05:00.290 --> 00:05:03.150

    There's been a lot going on in the pro wrestling world friends.

    106

    00:05:04.150 --> 00:05:07.870

    And this week in the midst of so many other things,

    107

    00:05:08.450 --> 00:05:11.130

    a lot of things happen in the pro wrestling world that we're going to

    108

    00:05:11.130 --> 00:05:13.070

    talk about before we get into the show.

    109

    00:05:13.970 --> 00:05:18.630

    But as I said, before we started, I did live an entire day thinking my

    110

    00:05:18.630 --> 00:05:24.010

    country was going to bomb and commit genocide against another nation because

    111

    00:05:24.010 --> 00:05:27.750

    that's what the sitting president of this country said he was going to do.

    112

    00:05:28.030 --> 00:05:29.590

    Now pro wrestling is an escape.

    113

    00:05:29.950 --> 00:05:31.650

    Pro wrestling is for funsies.

    114

    00:05:31.730 --> 00:05:34.830

    Pro wrestling is the greatest thing.

    115

    00:05:34.990 --> 00:05:35.410

    All right.

    116

    00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:36.110

    I love it.

    117

    00:05:36.150 --> 00:05:41.430

    But guys, we literally were sitting on the precipice of a president of

    118

    00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:46.570

    the United States promising to commit genocide, war crimes openly.

    119

    00:05:47.010 --> 00:05:48.010

    He had a deadline.

    120

    00:05:48.010 --> 00:05:52.010

    It took till an hour and a half before that deadline for this guy to

    121

    00:05:52.010 --> 00:05:54.270

    back off and say he wasn't going to do it.

    122

    00:05:56.850 --> 00:06:00.430

    However you find peace in today's world friends, I just want to tell you,

    123

    00:06:00.510 --> 00:06:00.950

    find it.

    124

    00:06:01.170 --> 00:06:01.310

    Okay.

    125

    00:06:01.530 --> 00:06:02.750

    Be good to yourselves.

    126

    00:06:02.750 --> 00:06:03.190

    Okay.

    127

    00:06:03.270 --> 00:06:06.250

    Because God knows the federal government ain't going to be good to you

    128

    00:06:06.250 --> 00:06:06.810

    for you.

    129

    00:06:06.990 --> 00:06:08.270

    So be good to yourselves.

    130

    00:06:08.710 --> 00:06:10.110

    Take heart in each other.

    131

    00:06:10.610 --> 00:06:12.570

    Community is a radical action right now.

    132

    00:06:12.570 --> 00:06:12.950

    Okay.

    133

    00:06:12.950 --> 00:06:17.070

    We don't want to feel alone and suppressed and oppressed and

    134

    00:06:17.070 --> 00:06:17.590

    depressed.

    135

    00:06:17.590 --> 00:06:18.390

    Okay.

    136

    00:06:18.810 --> 00:06:23.150

    We need to remember that the vast majority of us are good people who

    137

    00:06:23.150 --> 00:06:25.190

    want good things for the world.

    138

    00:06:25.930 --> 00:06:26.190

    Right.

    139

    00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:29.170

    Whatever social media would have you believe.

    140

    00:06:29.710 --> 00:06:33.350

    The vast majority of us are good people who want good things to

    141

    00:06:33.350 --> 00:06:33.670

    happen.

    142

    00:06:34.250 --> 00:06:38.630

    And I think part of the part of the game right now is to convince

    143

    00:06:38.630 --> 00:06:41.830

    us all that everybody else is terrible and make you feel overwhelmed

    144

    00:06:42.150 --> 00:06:43.330

    and make you give up.

    145

    00:06:43.710 --> 00:06:44.350

    Don't give up.

    146

    00:06:44.710 --> 00:06:45.550

    We got each other.

    147

    00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:46.930

    That is a big deal.

    148

    00:06:46.930 --> 00:06:47.770

    Okay.

    149

    00:06:48.610 --> 00:06:50.270

    This won't last forever.

    150

    00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:53.370

    No matter how shitty it is, it won't last forever.

    151

    00:06:53.550 --> 00:06:55.850

    We are going to get through this and we can get through it together.

    152

    00:06:56.210 --> 00:06:57.250

    I believe in y'all.

    153

    00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:00.090

    But I do want to talk about perspective.

    154

    00:07:01.990 --> 00:07:04.070

    What we talk about here is pro wrestling.

    155

    00:07:04.610 --> 00:07:05.310

    I'm passionate.

    156

    00:07:05.370 --> 00:07:06.230

    You're passionate.

    157

    00:07:06.770 --> 00:07:09.750

    Most people who take the time to read about pro wrestling outside

    158

    00:07:09.750 --> 00:07:13.070

    of just watching pro wrestling, I assume are pretty passionate,

    159

    00:07:14.170 --> 00:07:15.630

    but Jesus fucking Christ,

    160

    00:07:15.630 --> 00:07:20.070

    it's crazy to watch people spend so much time online and get sucked

    161

    00:07:20.070 --> 00:07:23.810

    into a vortex and become like these weird zombified slop tarts

    162

    00:07:24.570 --> 00:07:26.030

    making their love of,

    163

    00:07:26.030 --> 00:07:29.930

    or hate of a wrestling promotion or a show or a moment,

    164

    00:07:30.030 --> 00:07:31.430

    their entire personality.

    165

    00:07:32.230 --> 00:07:37.990

    And I say this as someone who has been sucked into it deeply

    166

    00:07:37.990 --> 00:07:44.010

    myself and wasted way too much time bickering or insulting or

    167

    00:07:44.010 --> 00:07:45.150

    hating on others online,

    168

    00:07:45.150 --> 00:07:47.970

    only to realize that there's something I'm probably not dealing

    169

    00:07:47.970 --> 00:07:51.990

    with in my own life that I'm taking out in the online space.

    170

    00:07:52.430 --> 00:07:52.590

    Okay.

    171

    00:07:53.370 --> 00:07:54.850

    And I thought about it.

    172

    00:07:54.850 --> 00:07:58.430

    I think there's two reasons to be spewing bile and hatred

    173

    00:07:58.430 --> 00:07:59.870

    towards people about wrestling.

    174

    00:08:00.630 --> 00:08:02.270

    Number one is exactly what I just said.

    175

    00:08:02.510 --> 00:08:04.810

    You have issues that you're not dealing with.

    176

    00:08:04.990 --> 00:08:05.250

    Okay.

    177

    00:08:05.250 --> 00:08:08.350

    And you use the IWC as a place to vent your pent up shit.

    178

    00:08:09.330 --> 00:08:12.210

    Probably the better thing would be to like go to therapy.

    179

    00:08:12.210 --> 00:08:16.310

    And it seems to mostly be younger men.

    180

    00:08:16.590 --> 00:08:18.110

    So if you're a younger man listening to this,

    181

    00:08:18.110 --> 00:08:18.910

    you're like, that's not me.

    182

    00:08:19.010 --> 00:08:19.610

    Maybe it's not,

    183

    00:08:19.790 --> 00:08:24.070

    but I've noticed that that is a that is the predominant trend.

    184

    00:08:25.130 --> 00:08:25.270

    Okay.

    185

    00:08:26.070 --> 00:08:27.630

    You need to go to therapy.

    186

    00:08:27.630 --> 00:08:28.270

    All right.

    187

    00:08:28.270 --> 00:08:30.010

    And actually deal with yourself.

    188

    00:08:30.190 --> 00:08:32.890

    So believe it or not as fucking mental,

    189

    00:08:32.909 --> 00:08:35.130

    as you can clearly see, I am,

    190

    00:08:35.130 --> 00:08:39.350

    I go to therapy every single week and I assure you it's one of

    191

    00:08:39.350 --> 00:08:42.070

    the most vital forms of self-love you can ever practice.

    192

    00:08:42.450 --> 00:08:43.490

    It's not only good for me.

    193

    00:08:43.490 --> 00:08:44.770

    It's good for y'all, right?

    194

    00:08:44.770 --> 00:08:46.070

    Because you have to be around me.

    195

    00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:48.890

    I'm doing a public good by going to therapy.

    196

    00:08:49.070 --> 00:08:50.450

    I assure you.

    197

    00:08:51.190 --> 00:08:53.870

    The only other reason you would do this and you'd spend a

    198

    00:08:53.870 --> 00:08:57.590

    bunch of your time just being a piece of shit is you're

    199

    00:08:57.590 --> 00:09:00.190

    making money from sowing dissent.

    200

    00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:01.650

    And that's a huge reason.

    201

    00:09:01.790 --> 00:09:03.650

    This world's fucking sucks right now.

    202

    00:09:03.710 --> 00:09:05.430

    You guys like,

    203

    00:09:05.430 --> 00:09:09.670

    you know, everything I read about podcasts and stuff, you know,

    204

    00:09:09.690 --> 00:09:13.170

    people will call me a shill for AEW on this podcast,

    205

    00:09:13.170 --> 00:09:15.710

    but I do say when I don't like something.

    206

    00:09:16.250 --> 00:09:16.270

    Okay.

    207

    00:09:16.830 --> 00:09:20.710

    But they will tell you when you are trying to get traction in

    208

    00:09:20.710 --> 00:09:24.190

    an algorithm is to kind of create debate,

    209

    00:09:24.650 --> 00:09:26.530

    create conflict, create arguments.

    210

    00:09:26.530 --> 00:09:27.070

    Right.

    211

    00:09:28.830 --> 00:09:33.170

    But arguing devolves so easily into hatred these days or into

    212

    00:09:33.170 --> 00:09:34.850

    attacks, let's say.

    213

    00:09:34.850 --> 00:09:38.870

    And I don't want to pit people against each other.

    214

    00:09:39.110 --> 00:09:40.350

    Like there's already enough of that.

    215

    00:09:40.650 --> 00:09:41.270

    You know what I mean?

    216

    00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:44.330

    We don't need to like spread dissent and hate.

    217

    00:09:45.850 --> 00:09:46.430

    Like seriously,

    218

    00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:48.950

    like to the people who are doing that,

    219

    00:09:48.970 --> 00:09:51.470

    no matter on how small a level it may be,

    220

    00:09:51.810 --> 00:09:52.710

    just fuck off.

    221

    00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:57.770

    Hate is being weaponized against all of us in so many

    222

    00:09:57.770 --> 00:09:58.070

    ways.

    223

    00:09:58.070 --> 00:09:59.390

    And I think it's fucking horrible.

    224

    00:09:59.930 --> 00:10:00.230

    Okay.

    225

    00:10:00.610 --> 00:10:01.570

    There is anger,

    226

    00:10:01.570 --> 00:10:05.290

    which you can use to actually harness anger into something

    227

    00:10:05.290 --> 00:10:06.670

    bigger and better than yourself.

    228

    00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:08.370

    And then there is hate,

    229

    00:10:08.390 --> 00:10:10.890

    which helps no one grow.

    230

    00:10:11.090 --> 00:10:12.930

    It helps nothing productive happen.

    231

    00:10:13.390 --> 00:10:13.890

    Okay.

    232

    00:10:13.970 --> 00:10:15.670

    I do not like the times we are living in.

    233

    00:10:15.850 --> 00:10:17.890

    I am angry that the world is the way it is,

    234

    00:10:17.890 --> 00:10:21.110

    but I'm going to actively weaponize my anger,

    235

    00:10:21.170 --> 00:10:23.730

    my anger to make the world a better place.

    236

    00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:25.050

    Okay.

    237

    00:10:25.050 --> 00:10:26.590

    And make myself a better person.

    238

    00:10:26.590 --> 00:10:30.590

    I am not going to be baited into hating.

    239

    00:10:31.610 --> 00:10:33.430

    I'm not going to do it.

    240

    00:10:33.490 --> 00:10:33.870

    All right.

    241

    00:10:33.910 --> 00:10:37.270

    That's it's a fucking trick and it is so easy to fall for.

    242

    00:10:37.730 --> 00:10:39.750

    Don't let yourself get caught up in it.

    243

    00:10:40.090 --> 00:10:42.130

    But something that I will say,

    244

    00:10:43.070 --> 00:10:44.270

    this MJF fella,

    245

    00:10:44.930 --> 00:10:48.590

    he's shown lots of leadership qualities since he came back.

    246

    00:10:49.130 --> 00:10:52.430

    He has always been so adherent to K-Fame.

    247

    00:10:52.790 --> 00:10:54.350

    Since he's become the champion,

    248

    00:10:54.350 --> 00:10:57.810

    this guy has dropped that veil a little bit,

    249

    00:10:57.810 --> 00:10:59.610

    a little bit, not too much,

    250

    00:11:00.210 --> 00:11:02.590

    but man, this guy is speaking up for AEW.

    251

    00:11:02.730 --> 00:11:05.110

    He is speaking up for the pro wrestling audience in a way

    252

    00:11:05.110 --> 00:11:06.390

    that I think is really great.

    253

    00:11:06.930 --> 00:11:08.430

    You know, he's even talking about, um,

    254

    00:11:08.870 --> 00:11:11.130

    WWE kind of lurching to the, to the right.

    255

    00:11:11.790 --> 00:11:13.450

    You know, they've always been a rightward company,

    256

    00:11:13.450 --> 00:11:15.510

    but I mean, I think we all agree here.

    257

    00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:18.370

    They have gone way too far to the right.

    258

    00:11:19.030 --> 00:11:20.430

    He is, he has really spoke,

    259

    00:11:20.430 --> 00:11:22.990

    speaking up for a lot of people who,

    260

    00:11:22.990 --> 00:11:24.730

    who need to be spoken up for.

    261

    00:11:25.050 --> 00:11:26.450

    And I also think, um,

    262

    00:11:26.450 --> 00:11:29.510

    he's challenging the conventional wisdom of wrestling a lot.

    263

    00:11:30.170 --> 00:11:30.970

    And, uh,

    264

    00:11:30.990 --> 00:11:33.430

    something that he's calling out pretty hard right now is TNA

    265

    00:11:34.270 --> 00:11:38.270

    pulling talent from indie shows where it seems particularly

    266

    00:11:38.270 --> 00:11:40.870

    AEW wrestlers are going to be booked.

    267

    00:11:41.410 --> 00:11:41.890

    Okay.

    268

    00:11:41.950 --> 00:11:44.170

    Or if they're going to be wrestling each other.

    269

    00:11:44.710 --> 00:11:46.110

    Now I thought we were kind of past this.

    270

    00:11:46.130 --> 00:11:46.390

    All right.

    271

    00:11:46.430 --> 00:11:49.130

    I like, we know wrestling is a show guys.

    272

    00:11:49.130 --> 00:11:52.470

    I don't think anybody watching the product is like, oh,

    273

    00:11:52.630 --> 00:11:57.550

    AEW is better than TNA because this wrestler beat their

    274

    00:11:57.550 --> 00:12:00.290

    wrestler. Like we know it's a show, right?

    275

    00:12:00.330 --> 00:12:02.010

    Like it doesn't really prove anything.

    276

    00:12:02.430 --> 00:12:02.750

    Right.

    277

    00:12:03.430 --> 00:12:07.450

    So TNA just pulled a bunch of talent from, uh,

    278

    00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:08.610

    some upcoming shows.

    279

    00:12:08.730 --> 00:12:11.190

    Uh, one, uh, hosted by creative pro,

    280

    00:12:11.370 --> 00:12:14.830

    which is where MJF Chris Statlander and a bunch of other people were

    281

    00:12:14.830 --> 00:12:16.650

    trained Max Castor as well.

    282

    00:12:16.650 --> 00:12:19.370

    And, uh, they were supposed to have Nick Nemeth,

    283

    00:12:19.490 --> 00:12:21.650

    the former Dolph Ziegler wrestling MJF.

    284

    00:12:22.430 --> 00:12:23.350

    Okay. That was this whole thing.

    285

    00:12:23.350 --> 00:12:26.150

    They went to a lot of trouble to set up and Nick Nemeth just got

    286

    00:12:26.150 --> 00:12:26.650

    pulled.

    287

    00:12:27.310 --> 00:12:28.250

    Moose pulled.

    288

    00:12:28.890 --> 00:12:31.990

    Did we not just have some people quitting TNA because they're not

    289

    00:12:31.990 --> 00:12:33.510

    being paid an adequate wage.

    290

    00:12:33.990 --> 00:12:38.410

    Did we not just have a Steph Delander talking about how she had

    291

    00:12:38.410 --> 00:12:41.970

    to pay for her own surgeries that were sustained in, uh,

    292

    00:12:41.990 --> 00:12:44.170

    from injuries that were sustained in the TNA ring.

    293

    00:12:44.770 --> 00:12:47.050

    So TNA is not covering surgeries there.

    294

    00:12:47.250 --> 00:12:50.850

    A lot of people's contracts are on a per appearance basis.

    295

    00:12:50.950 --> 00:12:52.770

    And now they're,

    296

    00:12:52.810 --> 00:12:55.990

    they're canceling their abilities to make more money.

    297

    00:12:57.070 --> 00:13:01.230

    That is fucked up like seriously fucked up.

    298

    00:13:01.650 --> 00:13:02.150

    Okay.

    299

    00:13:02.230 --> 00:13:04.590

    And, and, you know, I'm, I don't work for these companies.

    300

    00:13:04.730 --> 00:13:07.930

    I don't know exactly why these decisions are being made,

    301

    00:13:07.950 --> 00:13:10.710

    but it's a terrible decision one way or the other.

    302

    00:13:11.170 --> 00:13:14.150

    Like if you're not going to pay people a living wage,

    303

    00:13:14.150 --> 00:13:17.210

    you need to give them the opportunity to go out and earn a living.

    304

    00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:20.150

    You know, I mean, you just do.

    305

    00:13:20.510 --> 00:13:24.130

    It doesn't matter if somebody wins or loses necessarily.

    306

    00:13:24.270 --> 00:13:26.250

    Maybe you can be consulted or have a say,

    307

    00:13:26.830 --> 00:13:30.370

    but to just cut them off entirely from these opportunities is

    308

    00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:31.910

    patently absurd.

    309

    00:13:32.130 --> 00:13:34.130

    And it's abusive is what it is.

    310

    00:13:34.510 --> 00:13:38.050

    It's predatory when you're not paying people enough to actually

    311

    00:13:38.050 --> 00:13:41.510

    make a living and then keeping them from making a living.

    312

    00:13:41.510 --> 00:13:47.050

    You are being an abusive corporate tyrant and you deserve whatever the fuck you

    313

    00:13:47.050 --> 00:13:47.770

    get.

    314

    00:13:47.990 --> 00:13:51.750

    Carlos Silva would rather lick WWE's boot.

    315

    00:13:51.770 --> 00:13:54.610

    It appears then simply provide livable work.

    316

    00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:57.370

    I find that disgusting and offensive.

    317

    00:13:57.870 --> 00:13:59.170

    Really, really gross.

    318

    00:14:00.030 --> 00:14:01.650

    And TNA, I, you know,

    319

    00:14:01.930 --> 00:14:05.830

    I have known people who work for TNA and I respect them.

    320

    00:14:05.850 --> 00:14:08.690

    So I don't normally talk about TNA a whole lot.

    321

    00:14:08.950 --> 00:14:10.670

    I've never been a big fan of their product,

    322

    00:14:11.970 --> 00:14:14.970

    but you know, this brand is just cursed.

    323

    00:14:15.350 --> 00:14:16.510

    This promotion is cursed.

    324

    00:14:17.450 --> 00:14:19.850

    They, they, whatever momentum they ever gather,

    325

    00:14:20.170 --> 00:14:22.130

    it's like somebody is on duty,

    326

    00:14:22.250 --> 00:14:26.050

    making sure they shoot themselves in the dick as soon as they have any

    327

    00:14:26.050 --> 00:14:26.650

    momentum.

    328

    00:14:27.550 --> 00:14:30.030

    Bleary line seven, being Eddie Kingston, not a Gabe kid,

    329

    00:14:30.150 --> 00:14:30.680

    go to therapy.

    330

    00:14:35.950 --> 00:14:36.570

    Antoine agreed.

    331

    00:14:36.790 --> 00:14:37.550

    It is men,

    332

    00:14:37.550 --> 00:14:41.770

    mostly asshole men and I've ran into them and they all say the same thing.

    333

    00:14:41.850 --> 00:14:43.210

    They beg not to be outed.

    334

    00:14:43.350 --> 00:14:45.570

    That's how you know they are young.

    335

    00:14:46.450 --> 00:14:47.970

    Antoine continues and I will,

    336

    00:14:47.970 --> 00:14:50.050

    I will back my boy who's bearing his heart.

    337

    00:14:50.210 --> 00:14:50.830

    I am in therapy.

    338

    00:14:51.170 --> 00:14:52.330

    I have my session at four today.

    339

    00:14:52.330 --> 00:14:53.830

    It helped me be here and present.

    340

    00:14:55.050 --> 00:14:56.770

    Absolutely back therapy.

    341

    00:14:57.950 --> 00:15:00.030

    Fellas therapy is not jail.

    342

    00:15:00.230 --> 00:15:00.670

    Okay.

    343

    00:15:00.770 --> 00:15:01.690

    You will be okay.

    344

    00:15:02.630 --> 00:15:04.330

    Devil dinosaur has rage against the machine.

    345

    00:15:04.330 --> 00:15:06.390

    Famously said anger is a gift.

    346

    00:15:06.850 --> 00:15:08.170

    Pippen makes a great point.

    347

    00:15:08.270 --> 00:15:10.590

    The world needs more earnestness and authenticity.

    348

    00:15:11.310 --> 00:15:13.350

    Everyone is so concerned with being cool and edgy.

    349

    00:15:14.370 --> 00:15:14.770

    Yeah.

    350

    00:15:14.990 --> 00:15:18.870

    Like one of the gifts that's been given to me is just becoming old

    351

    00:15:18.870 --> 00:15:22.370

    because I know I'm not cool and I know I'm not edgy and I know I'm

    352

    00:15:22.370 --> 00:15:24.710

    not on top of shit and I don't care about that stuff anymore.

    353

    00:15:25.070 --> 00:15:29.050

    So it actually has made life a lot easier for me because I'm not trying

    354

    00:15:29.050 --> 00:15:30.010

    to keep up with anybody.

    355

    00:15:30.010 --> 00:15:32.570

    I'm just trying not to fall too far behind, I guess.

    356

    00:15:33.190 --> 00:15:33.990

    But yeah.

    357

    00:15:34.230 --> 00:15:35.070

    And you know what?

    358

    00:15:35.070 --> 00:15:39.710

    Honestly, the less wrestling media I've consumed kind of been happier

    359

    00:15:39.710 --> 00:15:43.910

    talking about wrestling with people because I don't always know the

    360

    00:15:43.910 --> 00:15:45.450

    latest breaking news that's happening.

    361

    00:15:46.250 --> 00:15:51.690

    And so I am not living and dying with like whatever somebody said

    362

    00:15:51.690 --> 00:15:53.590

    online, like online.

    363

    00:15:54.170 --> 00:15:54.970

    I love the Internet.

    364

    00:15:55.150 --> 00:15:55.490

    Okay.

    365

    00:15:55.490 --> 00:15:59.850

    I wouldn't know any of you if online didn't exist.

    366

    00:15:59.850 --> 00:16:00.070

    Right.

    367

    00:16:00.070 --> 00:16:02.750

    I wouldn't have this show if online wasn't a thing.

    368

    00:16:02.770 --> 00:16:03.130

    Right.

    369

    00:16:03.130 --> 00:16:04.710

    So I'm very grateful for online.

    370

    00:16:05.190 --> 00:16:10.270

    But you really like we have to like give ourselves some peace and

    371

    00:16:10.270 --> 00:16:15.190

    control our intake because this place online, it's not real.

    372

    00:16:15.390 --> 00:16:19.110

    It's like a hyper digital world as real as I try to be here.

    373

    00:16:19.110 --> 00:16:21.230

    I can only show you so much of me.

    374

    00:16:21.230 --> 00:16:21.470

    Okay.

    375

    00:16:21.470 --> 00:16:24.170

    It's only safe to show so much of yourself in these public

    376

    00:16:24.170 --> 00:16:26.050

    forums. So try to remember that.

    377

    00:16:26.130 --> 00:16:26.330

    Okay.

    378

    00:16:26.330 --> 00:16:28.950

    Like people are more than just their online personalities.

    379

    00:16:29.190 --> 00:16:31.410

    That's all I'm saying at the end of the day.

    380

    00:16:31.410 --> 00:16:32.310

    Blurry line.

    381

    00:16:32.570 --> 00:16:35.810

    I think MJF is using his kayfabe adherence to kind of point out

    382

    00:16:35.810 --> 00:16:37.890

    how fucking crazy the world has gotten.

    383

    00:16:38.130 --> 00:16:39.090

    Hundred percent agreed.

    384

    00:16:39.730 --> 00:16:43.530

    In a bad MJF was fantastic on busted open radio talking about

    385

    00:16:43.530 --> 00:16:47.050

    the whole TNA AW talents on same show situation.

    386

    00:16:47.290 --> 00:16:48.250

    Yes, he was.

    387

    00:16:48.830 --> 00:16:52.250

    Jaker says Bush League moved by TNA can't agree more.

    388

    00:16:52.290 --> 00:16:54.810

    It really is terrible.

    389

    00:16:55.810 --> 00:16:56.750

    Blair line seven.

    390

    00:16:56.870 --> 00:16:58.930

    Like even if he the biggest piece of shit in the world

    391

    00:16:58.930 --> 00:16:59.870

    thinks you're a piece of shit.

    392

    00:16:59.870 --> 00:17:01.190

    How bad must you be?

    393

    00:17:01.870 --> 00:17:02.390

    I know.

    394

    00:17:02.650 --> 00:17:03.090

    I know.

    395

    00:17:03.650 --> 00:17:04.329

    Very true.

    396

    00:17:04.450 --> 00:17:05.210

    Very true.

    397

    00:17:05.670 --> 00:17:07.810

    I saw this ricochet match man.

    398

    00:17:07.849 --> 00:17:09.130

    TNA is low hanging fruit.

    399

    00:17:09.430 --> 00:17:10.810

    They act low rent.

    400

    00:17:11.910 --> 00:17:12.950

    Always noses.

    401

    00:17:12.970 --> 00:17:15.010

    He's found a way to call shit out while harnessing his

    402

    00:17:15.010 --> 00:17:15.450

    character.

    403

    00:17:16.390 --> 00:17:16.869

    Absolutely.

    404

    00:17:17.470 --> 00:17:17.950

    Absolutely.

    405

    00:17:18.710 --> 00:17:19.310

    The scare globe.

    406

    00:17:19.609 --> 00:17:21.630

    This is the most positive online wrestling community.

    407

    00:17:21.790 --> 00:17:23.390

    I understand people having differing opinions.

    408

    00:17:23.450 --> 00:17:24.050

    Of course.

    409

    00:17:24.069 --> 00:17:24.290

    Right.

    410

    00:17:24.290 --> 00:17:25.010

    Like we all do.

    411

    00:17:25.250 --> 00:17:26.430

    Wrestling is for everyone.

    412

    00:17:26.690 --> 00:17:28.369

    I do hate the mindless Twitter trolls.

    413

    00:17:28.369 --> 00:17:30.330

    I try to go where they are not.

    414

    00:17:30.710 --> 00:17:30.990

    Yeah.

    415

    00:17:31.070 --> 00:17:32.070

    And that's the thing.

    416

    00:17:32.170 --> 00:17:35.450

    It's like if you engage with these people, the vast

    417

    00:17:35.450 --> 00:17:37.510

    majority of the time, it just becomes this rabbit hole

    418

    00:17:37.510 --> 00:17:39.710

    because that's all they want is attention.

    419

    00:17:40.370 --> 00:17:40.830

    You know what I mean?

    420

    00:17:40.830 --> 00:17:41.750

    They want attention.

    421

    00:17:41.790 --> 00:17:45.590

    They want a chance to suck you into their little

    422

    00:17:45.590 --> 00:17:46.990

    vortex of attention.

    423

    00:17:47.450 --> 00:17:51.690

    And the people who a lot of the people who run

    424

    00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:55.410

    dirt sheets or are aggregating for dirt sheets are

    425

    00:17:55.410 --> 00:17:59.090

    trying to stimulate you via your pissed off at this

    426

    00:17:59.090 --> 00:18:02.150

    to engage with them and then try to make money off

    427

    00:18:02.150 --> 00:18:03.410

    of that politics.

    428

    00:18:03.410 --> 00:18:04.150

    Same thing.

    429

    00:18:04.310 --> 00:18:08.050

    It's like that is what the Internet has become.

    430

    00:18:08.050 --> 00:18:10.890

    And the Internet sucks in a lot of ways right now,

    431

    00:18:10.930 --> 00:18:13.030

    even though I still think it's largely a good thing

    432

    00:18:13.030 --> 00:18:17.550

    by and large fucking bomb at two times.

    433

    00:18:18.390 --> 00:18:18.710

    It's funny.

    434

    00:18:18.770 --> 00:18:20.650

    He pulled them after collision beat them last

    435

    00:18:21.290 --> 00:18:21.570

    Thursday.

    436

    00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:22.530

    Antoine.

    437

    00:18:22.530 --> 00:18:24.930

    They exist to ensure that wrestlers have options.

    438

    00:18:25.050 --> 00:18:27.270

    So I will give them that TNA.

    439

    00:18:27.850 --> 00:18:28.330

    I agree.

    440

    00:18:28.730 --> 00:18:30.830

    I just wish they were paying a livable wage to the

    441

    00:18:30.830 --> 00:18:32.470

    people they actually have under contract.

    442

    00:18:32.830 --> 00:18:36.650

    And obviously we need places for people to go to

    443

    00:18:36.650 --> 00:18:40.070

    increase their ability to work better, to make a

    444

    00:18:40.070 --> 00:18:41.950

    name for themselves and to move on to greener

    445

    00:18:41.950 --> 00:18:42.510

    pastures.

    446

    00:18:42.690 --> 00:18:45.590

    I just think when we're getting to the point of

    447

    00:18:45.590 --> 00:18:48.510

    pettiness where like if a certain promotion has

    448

    00:18:48.510 --> 00:18:52.030

    talent on it, we're not going to let these

    449

    00:18:52.030 --> 00:18:54.330

    people show up to work to make some money.

    450

    00:18:55.090 --> 00:18:56.690

    You're fucking the talent at that point.

    451

    00:18:56.730 --> 00:18:57.690

    You're screwing them over.

    452

    00:18:57.690 --> 00:18:58.530

    And that's bullshit.

    453

    00:18:59.230 --> 00:19:00.410

    Fuck your mom at two times.

    454

    00:19:00.530 --> 00:19:02.450

    Moose holding water for TNA and saying he agrees

    455

    00:19:02.450 --> 00:19:03.210

    with the decision.

    456

    00:19:03.850 --> 00:19:04.290

    Moose.

    457

    00:19:04.290 --> 00:19:05.350

    WWE doesn't want you.

    458

    00:19:05.350 --> 00:19:06.330

    They will never want you.

    459

    00:19:06.510 --> 00:19:08.190

    I don't want Moose to be honest with you.

    460

    00:19:08.310 --> 00:19:10.830

    Fuck your mom at two times because that dude is

    461

    00:19:10.830 --> 00:19:13.090

    a problem in so many ways.

    462

    00:19:13.630 --> 00:19:15.070

    So many ways.

    463

    00:19:15.470 --> 00:19:16.050

    Play your line seven.

    464

    00:19:16.150 --> 00:19:17.810

    You've heard of fall failing downwards.

    465

    00:19:17.910 --> 00:19:19.030

    You've heard of failing upwards.

    466

    00:19:19.370 --> 00:19:21.190

    TNA does its own unique thing failing

    467

    00:19:21.190 --> 00:19:21.910

    sideways.

    468

    00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:24.690

    It's a lateral failing.

    469

    00:19:24.990 --> 00:19:25.990

    The lateral failing.

    470

    00:19:26.390 --> 00:19:29.490

    Well, I appreciate you all weighing in on what

    471

    00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:30.670

    we've shared so far.

    472

    00:19:31.090 --> 00:19:34.570

    But we're about to dive in to some AEW Dynasty

    473

    00:19:34.570 --> 00:19:36.630

    predictions and previews.

    474

    00:19:36.630 --> 00:19:39.550

    And I think some of the show is not yet

    475

    00:19:39.550 --> 00:19:42.130

    announced because the card seems kind of small

    476

    00:19:42.130 --> 00:19:45.490

    as opposed to what Senior Tony Khan usually

    477

    00:19:45.490 --> 00:19:45.910

    does.

    478

    00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:48.390

    So I'm going to hit the music.

    479

    00:19:48.390 --> 00:19:51.030

    When we come back, we're talking about it, baby.

    480

    00:19:51.210 --> 00:20:17.740

    We're talking about it.

    481

    00:20:17.860 --> 00:20:21.720

    So I like I said, I'm going to be at Dynasty.

    482

    00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:24.360

    I get to go there live because it is relatively

    483

    00:20:24.360 --> 00:20:25.640

    close to my home in Seattle.

    484

    00:20:26.260 --> 00:20:27.840

    And I am super excited.

    485

    00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:31.280

    I think the show is set up to be great.

    486

    00:20:31.840 --> 00:20:32.700

    Very, very good.

    487

    00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:34.960

    But I also feel it feels a little incomplete

    488

    00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.640

    to me right now.

    489

    00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.660

    So I think they've announced eight or nine

    490

    00:20:37.660 --> 00:20:38.180

    matches.

    491

    00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:38.940

    Okay.

    492

    00:20:39.540 --> 00:20:41.700

    And one of those matches is a zero hour

    493

    00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:42.060

    match.

    494

    00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:44.820

    Now, Tony Khan, as we know, is very fond of

    495

    00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:46.740

    like 13 match cards.

    496

    00:20:47.020 --> 00:20:49.760

    So I think there is a little left to do on

    497

    00:20:49.760 --> 00:20:50.080

    this card.

    498

    00:20:50.100 --> 00:20:54.140

    And there is one significant blank spot on

    499

    00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:54.620

    this show.

    500

    00:20:54.620 --> 00:20:57.140

    And we will talk about that after we do

    501

    00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:59.500

    our predictions before I dive into my

    502

    00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.000

    predictions.

    503

    00:21:00.320 --> 00:21:03.580

    I'm going to read yours because I family,

    504

    00:21:03.620 --> 00:21:07.680

    I am tired of being wrong in public all by

    505

    00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:08.220

    myself.

    506

    00:21:08.580 --> 00:21:09.100

    Okay.

    507

    00:21:09.100 --> 00:21:11.160

    We all know Blade Daily's gimmick is being

    508

    00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.520

    wrong.

    509

    00:21:11.840 --> 00:21:14.400

    I get things wrong pretty much constantly.

    510

    00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:17.700

    But I told you that I needed to hear from

    511

    00:21:17.700 --> 00:21:19.960

    you because I want to know when you fuckers

    512

    00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.300

    are wrong.

    513

    00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:21.080

    Okay.

    514

    00:21:21.580 --> 00:21:22.980

    Let's just be wrong together.

    515

    00:21:23.620 --> 00:21:24.020

    Okay.

    516

    00:21:24.540 --> 00:21:25.820

    That should have been the title of this

    517

    00:21:25.820 --> 00:21:26.200

    episode.

    518

    00:21:26.260 --> 00:21:27.520

    Let's be wrong together.

    519

    00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.100

    Okay.

    520

    00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:28.700

    Blurry line.

    521

    00:21:29.080 --> 00:21:32.020

    I got Marina over Windsor because of some

    522

    00:21:32.020 --> 00:21:32.480

    cheaties.

    523

    00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:33.520

    I can see it.

    524

    00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:34.860

    I can see it.

    525

    00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:36.960

    I also think there's a possibility it

    526

    00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.960

    might go the other way simply because of

    527

    00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:40.920

    Alex walking around with that New Japan

    528

    00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:41.700

    title of hers.

    529

    00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:43.000

    I don't know.

    530

    00:21:43.100 --> 00:21:44.520

    But you could be right.

    531

    00:21:44.760 --> 00:21:45.380

    Blurry line.

    532

    00:21:45.780 --> 00:21:48.200

    Will over Mox, Andrade over Darbs,

    533

    00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:51.700

    Tekla over Jamie, and Tommy Chams to

    534

    00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:52.960

    win the casino gauntlet.

    535

    00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:54.460

    All plausible.

    536

    00:21:55.020 --> 00:21:55.740

    A blurry line.

    537

    00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:57.040

    Bucks over Takashita.

    538

    00:21:57.140 --> 00:21:58.120

    Jericho over Trev.

    539

    00:21:58.140 --> 00:21:59.680

    But he gets angry and scissory.

    540

    00:21:59.820 --> 00:22:00.280

    Then M.

    541

    00:22:00.300 --> 00:22:01.080

    Jeff over Kenny.

    542

    00:22:01.620 --> 00:22:03.500

    Be a stretcher.

    543

    00:22:05.540 --> 00:22:09.880

    Jaker says Nick Wayne look looks Max's his

    544

    00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.620

    way into costing cage and Christian the

    545

    00:22:11.620 --> 00:22:11.860

    belts.

    546

    00:22:12.100 --> 00:22:14.180

    That would be pretty tremendous.

    547

    00:22:14.260 --> 00:22:16.360

    Imagine the heat for that in Canada.

    548

    00:22:17.320 --> 00:22:18.540

    That would be wild.

    549

    00:22:18.800 --> 00:22:19.760

    That would be wild.

    550

    00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.540

    In a bad main card predictions.

    551

    00:22:21.740 --> 00:22:22.800

    Kenneth beats MJF.

    552

    00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:24.360

    Coping cage be FTR.

    553

    00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:25.820

    Tekla beats hater.

    554

    00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:27.500

    Champa wins the gauntlet match.

    555

    00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:29.100

    Mox beats Osprey.

    556

    00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:30.220

    Jericho beats Ricochet.

    557

    00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.400

    Andrade beats Darby.

    558

    00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:34.400

    And the Bucks beat Tak and Okada.

    559

    00:22:35.820 --> 00:22:37.680

    That's some good shit there people.

    560

    00:22:37.940 --> 00:22:40.400

    That's some good shit.

    561

    00:22:42.020 --> 00:22:43.180

    Wildest take for a minute, Bab.

    562

    00:22:43.340 --> 00:22:44.820

    Chris Jericho and Dalton Castle face

    563

    00:22:44.820 --> 00:22:46.660

    off at some point during the show for

    564

    00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:48.360

    no real reason other than to twiddle

    565

    00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:50.340

    their mustaches while staring at each

    566

    00:22:50.340 --> 00:22:52.380

    other stern faces throughout.

    567

    00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:54.340

    I can see it.

    568

    00:22:54.340 --> 00:22:55.840

    Honestly, I mean, that's that is not

    569

    00:22:55.840 --> 00:22:58.280

    inconceivable to me at all.

    570

    00:22:58.760 --> 00:23:00.580

    So if you got predictions, drop them

    571

    00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:02.420

    in the chat. I will read them as we go.

    572

    00:23:02.760 --> 00:23:04.320

    But we're going to go through this show

    573

    00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:07.100

    in detail one by one

    574

    00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:07.880

    by one.

    575

    00:23:08.100 --> 00:23:09.660

    And we'll see how it goes.

    576

    00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:11.940

    Scare Glow says I want to see Wardlow

    577

    00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:13.860

    come back and mess things up for MJF.

    578

    00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.840

    Kenny is going over.

    579

    00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:16.360

    I might buy that Kenny jacket at

    580

    00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:17.460

    Dynasty if they're selling it.

    581

    00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:19.440

    I'm sure they will be selling it.

    582

    00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:21.580

    I'm not buying that simply because

    583

    00:23:21.580 --> 00:23:23.640

    I am currently newly poor

    584

    00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.060

    and cannot afford it.

    585

    00:23:27.080 --> 00:23:28.900

    But I am a Kenny Mark and would

    586

    00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:30.040

    pretty much buy anything with Kenny's

    587

    00:23:30.040 --> 00:23:31.040

    name on it.

    588

    00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:33.000

    As most of you well know.

    589

    00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:35.280

    So let's talk about this because

    590

    00:23:35.280 --> 00:23:37.180

    Alex Windsor versus

    591

    00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:38.140

    Marina Shaffir match.

    592

    00:23:38.260 --> 00:23:39.940

    It's the only match announced

    593

    00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.920

    for the zero hour.

    594

    00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:43.140

    I have to imagine there will be at least one or two

    595

    00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:44.900

    more pending the

    596

    00:23:45.840 --> 00:23:46.980

    probably being announced

    597

    00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:48.560

    on collision is what I would assume.

    598

    00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.540

    I know collision was taped.

    599

    00:23:50.760 --> 00:23:53.000

    I did read the spoilers, but

    600

    00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.840

    we're not going to be talking about those here

    601

    00:23:54.840 --> 00:23:56.720

    because as I tape this it is Thursday

    602

    00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:58.560

    and I don't want to spoil anything for anyone

    603

    00:23:58.560 --> 00:24:00.680

    because the podcast comes out Friday.

    604

    00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:02.280

    So let's not do that.

    605

    00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:03.320

    No spoilers, please.

    606

    00:24:04.180 --> 00:24:06.020

    But yeah, so with Alex Windsor and Marina

    607

    00:24:06.020 --> 00:24:08.100

    Shaffir, I think this is very much

    608

    00:24:08.100 --> 00:24:09.580

    a match that could go either way,

    609

    00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:11.520

    especially after last night

    610

    00:24:11.520 --> 00:24:13.720

    with the United Empire showing

    611

    00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.840

    up, which holy shit.

    612

    00:24:16.120 --> 00:24:17.060

    Who saw that coming?

    613

    00:24:17.100 --> 00:24:18.140

    I did not.

    614

    00:24:18.700 --> 00:24:20.900

    I'm so glad I watched Sakura Genesis

    615

    00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:22.640

    because the

    616

    00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.680

    United Empire was a huge part of that

    617

    00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.160

    show.

    618

    00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:27.860

    And we will talk all about it later.

    619

    00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:29.080

    But my God.

    620

    00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:30.880

    So when Windsor came out of the

    621

    00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:32.540

    car to assist Will

    622

    00:24:32.540 --> 00:24:34.100

    by beating the shit out of Marina,

    623

    00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:35.300

    I popped.

    624

    00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:37.660

    But then this entire car empties

    625

    00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:39.740

    and it's all the United Empire and the

    626

    00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:41.960

    black tuxes, very reservoir

    627

    00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:42.920

    dogs vibes.

    628

    00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:45.620

    But that brawl to open the show, man,

    629

    00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:46.640

    that got me going.

    630

    00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:48.880

    So in this match, it's really

    631

    00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:49.520

    a coin toss.

    632

    00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:51.700

    I think Marina has kind of lost some

    633

    00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:52.400

    big matches.

    634

    00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:55.520

    Uh, you know, to

    635

    00:24:55.520 --> 00:24:57.520

    Tamina, and I think Marina

    636

    00:24:57.520 --> 00:24:59.560

    could use a big singles win, maybe a little

    637

    00:24:59.560 --> 00:25:00.480

    more than Windsor.

    638

    00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:02.440

    So I've attempted to agree with my friend

    639

    00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:03.840

    Blearyline. I think

    640

    00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:06.740

    I think Marina will take this one

    641

    00:25:06.740 --> 00:25:08.480

    through shenanigans.

    642

    00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:10.600

    Jankers, I'm surprised the dogs don't have

    643

    00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:11.980

    a spot on the card yet.

    644

    00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:14.520

    They just might end up with

    645

    00:25:14.520 --> 00:25:16.060

    one. Who knows?

    646

    00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:18.400

    United Empire was Auramax.

    647

    00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:20.780

    Yes, they were.

    648

    00:25:20.780 --> 00:25:22.080

    Yes, they were.

    649

    00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:23.540

    What's that other aura farming?

    650

    00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.740

    Is that a thing?

    651

    00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.080

    Gnosis also says manifesting J

    652

    00:25:27.080 --> 00:25:28.280

    White returning in the gauntlet.

    653

    00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:29.120

    Good God.

    654

    00:25:29.620 --> 00:25:31.040

    Please just give my J White back

    655

    00:25:31.040 --> 00:25:32.880

    to me. Please give him back.

    656

    00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:35.100

    You know, I've said this a million times on

    657

    00:25:35.100 --> 00:25:36.840

    the sit down, shut up, mark out is that

    658

    00:25:37.340 --> 00:25:38.780

    Kenny and Will are my

    659

    00:25:38.780 --> 00:25:40.920

    like favorite style and there's

    660

    00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.920

    because there's like 10 wrestlers in the

    661

    00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:44.040

    world who can do that style.

    662

    00:25:44.040 --> 00:25:46.180

    And then there's Seth Rollins, who was like

    663

    00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:47.940

    75% of the way there, but not

    664

    00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:49.100

    all the way. Anyway,

    665

    00:25:49.100 --> 00:25:51.680

    sorry Seth, but I would

    666

    00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.580

    say my favorite

    667

    00:25:53.580 --> 00:25:55.480

    style beyond them is J

    668

    00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.380

    White, who has a style that's

    669

    00:25:57.380 --> 00:25:58.120

    almost all his own.

    670

    00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.420

    It's just relentlessly logical counter

    671

    00:26:00.420 --> 00:26:02.300

    wrestling until you're so

    672

    00:26:02.300 --> 00:26:03.600

    frustrated that he just wins.

    673

    00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:04.680

    He just beats you.

    674

    00:26:04.860 --> 00:26:06.660

    You get so frustrated he defeats

    675

    00:26:06.660 --> 00:26:07.000

    you.

    676

    00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:09.160

    Yes, I want J White back bad.

    677

    00:26:09.300 --> 00:26:11.420

    I want J White as the world champion is what I want

    678

    00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:12.920

    as well. The men's world champion.

    679

    00:26:13.820 --> 00:26:14.660

    Antoine Alex wins.

    680

    00:26:14.780 --> 00:26:16.200

    I'd put her over as a double champion.

    681

    00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:16.900

    Wow.

    682

    00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:17.920

    Wow.

    683

    00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:18.900

    Benny the bear.

    684

    00:26:19.100 --> 00:26:20.780

    Hey, all the cleaner got this show stealer.

    685

    00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:21.520

    I got Darby.

    686

    00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:22.660

    Darby versus Andrade.

    687

    00:26:24.100 --> 00:26:25.920

    Yeah, I can see all of I mean

    688

    00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:26.900

    there. I think there is.

    689

    00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.020

    I think there is a possibility to all

    690

    00:26:29.020 --> 00:26:30.420

    of that Blair Line 7.

    691

    00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:32.080

    I think you can have Marina can win

    692

    00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:33.840

    via Yuta or Daniel Garcia cheating

    693

    00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:35.740

    to set up a title match between her and

    694

    00:26:35.740 --> 00:26:38.100

    Windsor, especially since Jamie won't be there to help her.

    695

    00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:39.560

    She's prepping for the world title.

    696

    00:26:40.340 --> 00:26:41.980

    Yes, I can see all

    697

    00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:44.220

    of that. That sounds highly plausible

    698

    00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:44.740

    to me.

    699

    00:26:45.040 --> 00:26:46.940

    That's the only zero

    700

    00:26:46.940 --> 00:26:49.080

    hour match that we have announced so far.

    701

    00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:50.540

    Okay, but

    702

    00:26:50.540 --> 00:26:52.340

    on the main card.

    703

    00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:54.980

    Let's start with the Casino Battle

    704

    00:26:54.980 --> 00:26:57.020

    Royale for the TNT title. Now

    705

    00:26:57.020 --> 00:26:58.780

    our sexy

    706

    00:26:59.420 --> 00:27:00.960

    TNT champion who

    707

    00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.740

    wears all pink, bright pink

    708

    00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:04.680

    Kyle Fletcher is injured

    709

    00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:06.660

    and is apparently going to be out for months

    710

    00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:08.940

    with a knee meniscus something injury.

    711

    00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:12.860

    A.W. loves to be

    712

    00:27:12.860 --> 00:27:14.080

    vague about these timelines.

    713

    00:27:14.080 --> 00:27:16.320

    So I'm not

    714

    00:27:16.320 --> 00:27:18.500

    sure if it'll be months or weeks

    715

    00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:20.240

    or, you know, seven

    716

    00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.360

    months, 10 months, a year, who knows

    717

    00:27:22.360 --> 00:27:24.260

    meniscus can be very serious injury.

    718

    00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:26.400

    They said it was meniscus related.

    719

    00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:28.260

    I have to believe they know what it is by

    720

    00:27:28.260 --> 00:27:30.220

    now. But Kyle Russell's

    721

    00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:32.220

    a very physical style. I mean, that's the

    722

    00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:34.100

    reality of it. And it's not surprising

    723

    00:27:34.100 --> 00:27:36.160

    that he would have an injury or maybe

    724

    00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.020

    even more than one. So

    725

    00:27:38.020 --> 00:27:40.100

    let's hope he's back relatively

    726

    00:27:40.100 --> 00:27:42.240

    soon. If I had a candle, I'd put it out for you, buddy.

    727

    00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:44.100

    But we want you back.

    728

    00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:46.520

    We want you back. So the TNT

    729

    00:27:46.520 --> 00:27:48.400

    title has been held up. No interim

    730

    00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:50.380

    champion bullshit, which I think is

    731

    00:27:50.380 --> 00:27:52.480

    very good. TK dropped that shit.

    732

    00:27:52.560 --> 00:27:54.660

    Okay. As you guys know, sometimes

    733

    00:27:54.660 --> 00:27:56.460

    I say TK do this and he does

    734

    00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:58.300

    it. Whether that's

    735

    00:27:58.300 --> 00:28:00.560

    a matter of him actually adjusting this show

    736

    00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:02.620

    or just by

    737

    00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:04.280

    coincidence, who's to say?

    738

    00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:06.560

    I just pretend it's because of me.

    739

    00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.500

    But yeah,

    740

    00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:10.440

    so we got people doing the casino about a

    741

    00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.620

    royal. And I'm excited.

    742

    00:28:12.800 --> 00:28:14.580

    I love casino battle Royals and it'll be fun to

    743

    00:28:14.580 --> 00:28:15.960

    see one live for me, right?

    744

    00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:18.600

    But Tommaso Ciampa won

    745

    00:28:18.600 --> 00:28:20.580

    the right to enter as number one and

    746

    00:28:20.580 --> 00:28:22.400

    definitely looks like

    747

    00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.800

    pretty strong favorite to

    748

    00:28:24.800 --> 00:28:26.160

    to win the TNT title.

    749

    00:28:26.320 --> 00:28:28.500

    I know that he is he is very

    750

    00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:29.640

    high up in consideration.

    751

    00:28:30.540 --> 00:28:32.400

    Who else do you think could be in this? I know

    752

    00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.460

    on collision, we got Roush wrestling

    753

    00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:36.440

    Anthony Bowens to

    754

    00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.160

    determine who will be number two.

    755

    00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:40.660

    And just like the Royal Rumble, there's really

    756

    00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:42.540

    no difference between number one and number two. You both

    757

    00:28:42.540 --> 00:28:43.560

    come in at the same time.

    758

    00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.460

    You both come in at the same

    759

    00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:48.560

    time. Inabab says

    760

    00:28:48.560 --> 00:28:50.360

    gutted for Kyle's injury, but I'm so

    761

    00:28:50.360 --> 00:28:52.400

    glad that there will be no interim TNT champion

    762

    00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:54.060

    while he's out. Ciampa

    763

    00:28:54.060 --> 00:28:56.360

    for the win, I hope, and Fletcher

    764

    00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:58.540

    to enter the men's world title seat when he returns.

    765

    00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:04.200

    Yeah, that could happen. That could happen.

    766

    00:29:04.860 --> 00:29:06.500

    BlairLine7 says hangman just comes back

    767

    00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:08.420

    to the gauntlet match to win the title and he decorates

    768

    00:29:08.420 --> 00:29:10.800

    the belt to look more like the AEW

    769

    00:29:10.800 --> 00:29:12.560

    world men's world title because he can't

    770

    00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:13.220

    have it anymore.

    771

    00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:16.540

    Oh, that would

    772

    00:29:16.540 --> 00:29:18.820

    be funny. That sounds like a mystery wrestling

    773

    00:29:18.820 --> 00:29:19.460

    angle.

    774

    00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:22.500

    Nosa says I feel like

    775

    00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:24.560

    we might be getting a Willow and Sheetah rematch at

    776

    00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:26.660

    Dynasty. Well, Sheetah is certainly standing

    777

    00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:28.760

    off to the sidelines during that Aminata

    778

    00:29:28.760 --> 00:29:30.020

    and Willow match.

    779

    00:29:30.600 --> 00:29:32.540

    Certainly gave the impression that she's

    780

    00:29:32.540 --> 00:29:34.540

    not done with Willow. And I think we are

    781

    00:29:34.540 --> 00:29:36.660

    getting Heel Sheetah incoming. So

    782

    00:29:36.660 --> 00:29:38.480

    very good chance that that's possible.

    783

    00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:40.460

    I'm trying to remember, you know,

    784

    00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:42.540

    who else could we get

    785

    00:29:42.540 --> 00:29:44.700

    here? And if you'll give me just

    786

    00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:46.620

    a moment, we are going to go through

    787

    00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:48.800

    this and really evaluate

    788

    00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:50.020

    our options, folks,

    789

    00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.940

    because we are nothing if not thorough here

    790

    00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:54.960

    on sit down, shut up,

    791

    00:29:55.060 --> 00:29:56.840

    mark out. So I'm

    792

    00:29:56.840 --> 00:29:58.660

    pulling up the AEW roster page and I'm

    793

    00:29:58.660 --> 00:30:00.360

    going to put it on the screen here in just a minute.

    794

    00:30:01.260 --> 00:30:02.820

    Who do we think

    795

    00:30:03.840 --> 00:30:05.120

    besides the people we know

    796

    00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:06.760

    are going to be in this thing? Do we think

    797

    00:30:06.760 --> 00:30:08.880

    could Jack Perry be in this? I hope not,

    798

    00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.140

    because I don't want any more double champs.

    799

    00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.560

    I think that would be dumb.

    800

    00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:14.780

    I'm kind of surprised Jack is not

    801

    00:30:14.780 --> 00:30:15.920

    already on this card.

    802

    00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:18.600

    I don't think Adam Cole is going to be in it.

    803

    00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.120

    I can see Ace Austin being in this thing.

    804

    00:30:22.280 --> 00:30:23.080

    Alec Price

    805

    00:30:23.520 --> 00:30:24.820

    jumps off the page as another

    806

    00:30:24.820 --> 00:30:26.760

    guy who could do it. I think Bowens

    807

    00:30:26.760 --> 00:30:28.820

    will be in it. He's just not going to be number two.

    808

    00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:30.300

    Bandito?

    809

    00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:32.820

    I'm a little sad that Bandito

    810

    00:30:32.820 --> 00:30:34.640

    doesn't have a match. Now he was on

    811

    00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:36.740

    Dynamite last night. We know he's in Canada,

    812

    00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:37.720

    so he's available.

    813

    00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:40.500

    Make this happen. Get my

    814

    00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:42.720

    son on this card, okay? That is my

    815

    00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.580

    son. That is my son.

    816

    00:30:45.540 --> 00:30:46.560

    I can see Big

    817

    00:30:46.560 --> 00:30:48.440

    Bill in this. That is

    818

    00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.140

    definitely somebody I can see in this.

    819

    00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:52.380

    Maybe some Hurt Syndicate people. Maybe

    820

    00:30:52.380 --> 00:30:53.660

    Bobby Lashley and Shelton.

    821

    00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:56.620

    I don't think Brody King is going to be on this show,

    822

    00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:58.480

    but he would be a good person

    823

    00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.620

    to bring on and have him win it,

    824

    00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:02.540

    honestly. Brian Keith I can see doing

    825

    00:31:02.540 --> 00:31:04.560

    it. This would also be a good

    826

    00:31:04.560 --> 00:31:06.560

    time for a surprise. Maybe Buddy Matthew's return

    827

    00:31:06.560 --> 00:31:08.640

    if he's actually ready. I can see

    828

    00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:10.740

    Claudio. I can see Claudio in it.

    829

    00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:12.360

    I can see Daniel.

    830

    00:31:12.460 --> 00:31:14.720

    I can see any of Yuta, you know?

    831

    00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:16.460

    If they don't

    832

    00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:18.460

    end up with a match, if they don't end up winning

    833

    00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:20.340

    those trios titles, I can see

    834

    00:31:20.340 --> 00:31:22.020

    any of the dogs in it.

    835

    00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:23.900

    Maybe El Clon?

    836

    00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:25.620

    Eddie? Kingston?

    837

    00:31:26.340 --> 00:31:28.680

    I don't think Hologram's cleared yet.

    838

    00:31:29.380 --> 00:31:30.420

    Mark Davis would be

    839

    00:31:30.420 --> 00:31:32.420

    a really good entrance into the

    840

    00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:33.780

    Casino Battle Royale.

    841

    00:31:34.020 --> 00:31:35.700

    Juce Robinson I can definitely see.

    842

    00:31:36.420 --> 00:31:37.460

    Maybe Shabbat?

    843

    00:31:38.060 --> 00:31:38.580

    Shabata!

    844

    00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:41.900

    What's going on with the Ops, by the way?

    845

    00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:43.120

    Hook is now gone.

    846

    00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:45.620

    Is he hurt? Is

    847

    00:31:45.620 --> 00:31:47.560

    Hook hurt? Please give me Leo

    848

    00:31:47.560 --> 00:31:49.660

    Rush and let him just creep everybody

    849

    00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:51.780

    out. And everybody is so creeped out

    850

    00:31:51.780 --> 00:31:53.620

    by him that somebody just lays down and gets

    851

    00:31:53.620 --> 00:31:55.720

    spinned by him so the match can be over.

    852

    00:31:55.860 --> 00:31:57.360

    I can see that.

    853

    00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.620

    Mark Brisco? Definitely someone I can see.

    854

    00:32:01.060 --> 00:32:01.780

    Dorada? Maybe?

    855

    00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:03.440

    I know he's in

    856

    00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:05.740

    he is already in Canada

    857

    00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:07.900

    so that would make sense to me.

    858

    00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.520

    Pac?

    859

    00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:11.400

    You know, Pac with a TNT title run

    860

    00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:13.340

    would be pretty fucking cool, I think.

    861

    00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.180

    That would be pretty dope.

    862

    00:32:16.760 --> 00:32:17.700

    Ricochet's wrestling Jericho?

    863

    00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:19.840

    Mortos?

    864

    00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:21.160

    Maybe? Yuta?

    865

    00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.140

    Yeah.

    866

    00:32:22.620 --> 00:32:24.820

    Or any of the rascals. Maybe

    867

    00:32:24.820 --> 00:32:26.300

    Trent or Rocky or both?

    868

    00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:28.700

    That's about who I can see.

    869

    00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:29.860

    That's about who I can see.

    870

    00:32:30.260 --> 00:32:31.240

    Did I miss any?

    871

    00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:35.600

    Any or all of the rascals?

    872

    00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:37.160

    Mark Brisco's been gone

    873

    00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:38.800

    a few weeks, probably making more kids

    874

    00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:39.900

    so I'll probably be back.

    875

    00:32:40.380 --> 00:32:42.740

    That super sperm of Mark Brisco's

    876

    00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:45.180

    should be identified as a lethal weapon.

    877

    00:32:47.500 --> 00:32:48.560

    I think people

    878

    00:32:48.560 --> 00:32:50.280

    I know the general vicinity of their home.

    879

    00:32:50.500 --> 00:32:52.220

    I know they live on acres of land.

    880

    00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.420

    Thank God because we just have pregnant

    881

    00:32:54.420 --> 00:32:56.500

    women everywhere having Mark Brisco's

    882

    00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:58.520

    babies if they lived any closer.

    883

    00:32:59.320 --> 00:33:00.600

    Yeah, the Scare Glow says

    884

    00:33:00.600 --> 00:33:02.680

    let Leo Rush run

    885

    00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:04.940

    wild. Why not?

    886

    00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:06.460

    Benny the Bear? I'd say either

    887

    00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:08.260

    Mark Davis or a returning hologram.

    888

    00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.400

    Yeah, I'm not sure if holograms cleared yet.

    889

    00:33:10.540 --> 00:33:12.340

    I know he had successful surgery

    890

    00:33:12.340 --> 00:33:14.640

    but hopefully he'll be back soon.

    891

    00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.480

    LClone?

    892

    00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:18.500

    I've sung the praises of LClone here.

    893

    00:33:18.760 --> 00:33:20.480

    I have a lot of friends who are really into LClone.

    894

    00:33:21.520 --> 00:33:22.560

    I'm really excited

    895

    00:33:22.560 --> 00:33:23.140

    for that.

    896

    00:33:25.100 --> 00:33:26.460

    Hopefully those two are battling

    897

    00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:28.280

    for that title someday because

    898

    00:33:28.280 --> 00:33:30.420

    my God, that would be awesome.

    899

    00:33:31.180 --> 00:33:32.500

    If I had to pick one

    900

    00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:34.700

    I'm going to say Tommaso Ciampa because

    901

    00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:36.280

    he just had the belt.

    902

    00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:38.620

    He's made it his mission in life to win the belt.

    903

    00:33:39.300 --> 00:33:40.720

    Kind of weird that they had him

    904

    00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:42.180

    join up with FTR

    905

    00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:44.520

    and turn heel and then kind of not

    906

    00:33:44.520 --> 00:33:46.740

    be a heel. So I could also see

    907

    00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:48.700

    Mark Briscoe coming back and maybe

    908

    00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:50.920

    costing Ciampa the

    909

    00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:52.560

    win and somebody else

    910

    00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:54.720

    winning it or one of the two of them winning it and then

    911

    00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:55.700

    feuding over it.

    912

    00:33:56.560 --> 00:33:58.500

    There's a lot of possibilities there.

    913

    00:33:59.100 --> 00:34:01.260

    But that's just one match on this

    914

    00:34:01.260 --> 00:34:02.220

    card of champions.

    915

    00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:04.760

    So Chris

    916

    00:34:04.760 --> 00:34:06.400

    Jericho has been booked

    917

    00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.840

    to face Ricochet. Now on Dynamite

    918

    00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:10.800

    Chris Jericho came out, got a huge

    919

    00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:12.520

    pop in Edmonton

    920

    00:34:12.520 --> 00:34:14.500

    in Alberta. Actually

    921

    00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:16.800

    I don't know if they were in Edmonton. They might have been somewhere else

    922

    00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:18.960

    but I believe they were in Alberta.

    923

    00:34:20.100 --> 00:34:20.540

    Jericho

    924

    00:34:20.540 --> 00:34:22.699

    kind of winds the crowd up with a little

    925

    00:34:22.699 --> 00:34:24.440

    story about Alberta

    926

    00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:26.520

    Calgary being trained by the Hearts

    927

    00:34:26.520 --> 00:34:28.520

    and that his first match was in Edmonton.

    928

    00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:30.580

    Very cool. Very cool

    929

    00:34:30.580 --> 00:34:31.900

    little bit of history to reference.

    930

    00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:34.400

    And they even did the Judas

    931

    00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:36.679

    singalong. So very smart

    932

    00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:38.520

    to book him

    933

    00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:41.120

    in

    934

    00:34:41.120 --> 00:34:43.219

    Canada first because he's getting the

    935

    00:34:43.219 --> 00:34:45.179

    heroes welcome. And I will

    936

    00:34:45.179 --> 00:34:47.300

    say I thought his return was at

    937

    00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:49.040

    least inoffensive.

    938

    00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.480

    Didn't feel necessarily hugely significant.

    939

    00:34:51.620 --> 00:34:53.219

    He's obviously a baby face. He's

    940

    00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:55.120

    back under contract. And my

    941

    00:34:55.120 --> 00:34:57.300

    guess is it's probably his last

    942

    00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:58.880

    contract as a wrestler.

    943

    00:34:59.560 --> 00:35:01.460

    The man is going to be 55

    944

    00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:03.020

    I believe this year or maybe just

    945

    00:35:03.020 --> 00:35:05.120

    turned 55 recently. I know his birthday is

    946

    00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:07.120

    in the later half of the year but

    947

    00:35:08.580 --> 00:35:09.100

    I

    948

    00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:11.140

    was interested in it and

    949

    00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:13.300

    I thought something that was really significant

    950

    00:35:13.620 --> 00:35:15.300

    a lot of times you have to consider

    951

    00:35:15.300 --> 00:35:17.280

    what are they trying to convey to the audience by

    952

    00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:18.780

    having a character say these things.

    953

    00:35:19.140 --> 00:35:21.180

    And one of the things that he said was

    954

    00:35:21.180 --> 00:35:23.360

    that he's a risk taker.

    955

    00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:25.360

    He's taking a lot of risks in wrestling

    956

    00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:27.340

    and sometimes that leads to

    957

    00:35:27.340 --> 00:35:29.420

    a stinker here or there and he's

    958

    00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:30.520

    had a few stinkers.

    959

    00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:33.180

    So I think that's a way of kind of

    960

    00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:35.260

    gently nodding to the crowd

    961

    00:35:35.260 --> 00:35:37.080

    like hey I know some of what I did sucked

    962

    00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:39.920

    and you didn't like it and you hated it

    963

    00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:41.800

    but that's what you get for being a risk taker.

    964

    00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:43.720

    And as somebody who

    965

    00:35:43.720 --> 00:35:45.280

    toiled in the music industry for a long time

    966

    00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:47.360

    I can tell you that is true. As an

    967

    00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:49.260

    artist the more risks you take the greater

    968

    00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:51.260

    the chance is that you're going to do something bad.

    969

    00:35:52.180 --> 00:35:53.280

    I would rather have

    970

    00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.220

    my favorite band occasionally make

    971

    00:35:55.220 --> 00:35:57.300

    a bad record or make a record I don't

    972

    00:35:57.300 --> 00:35:59.180

    like than just make the same

    973

    00:35:59.180 --> 00:36:01.240

    record over and over and over again. So

    974

    00:36:01.240 --> 00:36:03.360

    I can appreciate where Chris is coming from that way.

    975

    00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:05.200

    However, I thought

    976

    00:36:05.200 --> 00:36:07.380

    it was a little ironic that he said I'm a risk

    977

    00:36:07.380 --> 00:36:09.180

    taker sometimes you make a bad thing.

    978

    00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:11.080

    Ricochet comes out

    979

    00:36:11.080 --> 00:36:13.320

    tells Chris he shouldn't sign that

    980

    00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.200

    contract he should retire. Jericho tells

    981

    00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:17.280

    him to fuck himself basically that he

    982

    00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:19.380

    is going to sign the contract and part of the clause

    983

    00:36:19.380 --> 00:36:21.240

    of that contract is that he can

    984

    00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:22.800

    wrestle anybody he wants at dynasty

    985

    00:36:23.560 --> 00:36:25.360

    and he decides to wrestle Ricochet.

    986

    00:36:26.860 --> 00:36:27.240

    But this

    987

    00:36:27.240 --> 00:36:29.180

    risk taking Chris Jericho who's had a few

    988

    00:36:29.180 --> 00:36:31.200

    stinkers along the way immediately goes to a greatest

    989

    00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:33.440

    hits thing and does the list.

    990

    00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:34.820

    Now I'm curious.

    991

    00:36:36.140 --> 00:36:37.660

    How do you guys feel about that?

    992

    00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:39.620

    How do you guys feel about the list

    993

    00:36:39.620 --> 00:36:41.640

    coming back? Did it pop you?

    994

    00:36:41.780 --> 00:36:43.060

    Did it make you laugh?

    995

    00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:45.580

    Or was it just not your

    996

    00:36:45.580 --> 00:36:46.640

    thing? Now for me

    997

    00:36:47.260 --> 00:36:49.420

    the list was a very funny bit in

    998

    00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:51.300

    WWE and

    999

    00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:53.520

    as a guy in his mid 50s probably on his

    1000

    00:36:53.520 --> 00:36:55.540

    last wrestling contract I think Chris

    1001

    00:36:55.540 --> 00:36:57.360

    Jericho is entitled to do a greatest hits story

    1002

    00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:58.500

    if that's what he's going to do.

    1003

    00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:01.180

    A lot of people do at this stage.

    1004

    00:37:01.180 --> 00:37:03.220

    A lot of people don't have as many characters

    1005

    00:37:03.220 --> 00:37:05.420

    to call upon as Chris Jericho

    1006

    00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:07.320

    does. So I don't

    1007

    00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.220

    really mind it. Again I felt

    1008

    00:37:09.220 --> 00:37:11.280

    it was inoffensive. It wasn't

    1009

    00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:12.080

    super long.

    1010

    00:37:13.300 --> 00:37:15.280

    And I don't mind seeing Jericho wrestle

    1011

    00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:16.460

    every once in a while.

    1012

    00:37:17.720 --> 00:37:18.980

    Let's see what you guys have to say.

    1013

    00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:21.140

    Would you feel about the list coming back?

    1014

    00:37:21.860 --> 00:37:23.260

    Would you feel about

    1015

    00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:24.820

    Jericho as a baby face?

    1016

    00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:27.140

    I'm interested. Antoine

    1017

    00:37:27.140 --> 00:37:29.160

    I am very very very interested in this match

    1018

    00:37:29.160 --> 00:37:31.160

    quite so to see what Chris still has. He

    1019

    00:37:31.160 --> 00:37:33.220

    looks great. He's there to be a team player. I

    1020

    00:37:33.220 --> 00:37:35.200

    think he gets the win here especially if

    1021

    00:37:35.200 --> 00:37:37.220

    he's used sparsely. Now something else

    1022

    00:37:37.220 --> 00:37:39.420

    that he said in his promo Antoine I agree with you.

    1023

    00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:41.120

    That's pretty similar to how I feel

    1024

    00:37:41.120 --> 00:37:42.140

    as well.

    1025

    00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:44.760

    He said you know

    1026

    00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:47.080

    I'm here to make AEW

    1027

    00:37:47.080 --> 00:37:49.160

    a better place whether I'm on the show

    1028

    00:37:49.160 --> 00:37:51.040

    a lot or a little or not at all.

    1029

    00:37:51.520 --> 00:37:53.300

    I think that was a very interesting

    1030

    00:37:53.300 --> 00:37:55.220

    reveal okay because again they

    1031

    00:37:55.220 --> 00:37:57.180

    are trying to convey to you hey we are not going

    1032

    00:37:57.180 --> 00:37:59.400

    to push you guys beyond what you're willing

    1033

    00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.460

    to see. Now if you're not willing to see Chris Jericho

    1034

    00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:03.120

    at all I guess that's not true.

    1035

    00:38:03.460 --> 00:38:05.080

    They are going to push beyond that.

    1036

    00:38:05.520 --> 00:38:06.000

    But

    1037

    00:38:07.560 --> 00:38:09.320

    I think that at the end

    1038

    00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:11.200

    of the day they

    1039

    00:38:11.200 --> 00:38:13.320

    are well aware of how the fans feel.

    1040

    00:38:13.680 --> 00:38:15.320

    So we'll see how far they go with

    1041

    00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:17.480

    it. Gnosis says I

    1042

    00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:18.900

    don't want good guy Jericho.

    1043

    00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:21.360

    I understand that.

    1044

    00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:22.840

    I do understand that.

    1045

    00:38:23.080 --> 00:38:25.460

    But I would say that I don't see

    1046

    00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:27.620

    how you avoid Jericho leading

    1047

    00:38:27.620 --> 00:38:29.500

    another faction that revolves around him

    1048

    00:38:29.500 --> 00:38:31.640

    if he's a heel. So

    1049

    00:38:32.240 --> 00:38:33.120

    it'll be

    1050

    00:38:33.120 --> 00:38:35.480

    interesting. I have not lost

    1051

    00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.860

    all faith in Chris Jericho. I

    1052

    00:38:37.860 --> 00:38:39.560

    freely admit his last run was

    1053

    00:38:39.560 --> 00:38:41.560

    not good. The fans wanted

    1054

    00:38:41.560 --> 00:38:43.520

    him gone and they wanted him gone

    1055

    00:38:43.520 --> 00:38:45.620

    so bad it gets to a point where there's

    1056

    00:38:45.620 --> 00:38:47.560

    nothing you can really do about it. You just got to leave for

    1057

    00:38:47.560 --> 00:38:49.600

    a while and he did. So

    1058

    00:38:49.600 --> 00:38:51.020

    we'll see. We'll see.

    1059

    00:38:51.620 --> 00:38:53.500

    Blurry Line 7 I'm not hyped for

    1060

    00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:55.640

    Jericho, but I think he can absolutely bring out the best

    1061

    00:38:55.640 --> 00:38:57.660

    version of Ricochet basically

    1062

    00:38:57.660 --> 00:38:59.500

    being the golden scissor Taint.

    1063

    00:39:01.020 --> 00:39:01.820

    Andrew Taint

    1064

    00:39:01.820 --> 00:39:03.920

    looking like Ricochet. Oh my God.

    1065

    00:39:04.140 --> 00:39:05.500

    Antoine loved it.

    1066

    00:39:08.220 --> 00:39:09.200

    Blurry Line 7 I think

    1067

    00:39:09.200 --> 00:39:11.100

    it's fine for him to do it in Canada like it's him playing

    1068

    00:39:11.100 --> 00:39:12.820

    the greatest hits in his home country.

    1069

    00:39:13.240 --> 00:39:15.420

    Fuck Your Mama Two Times says I love the list was back.

    1070

    00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:17.180

    In a bab I love the list

    1071

    00:39:17.180 --> 00:39:19.220

    to be honest. I'm fine with Jericho being goofy and having

    1072

    00:39:19.220 --> 00:39:21.220

    fun. He's earned it to be

    1073

    00:39:21.220 --> 00:39:23.180

    fair. Gnosis the list

    1074

    00:39:23.180 --> 00:39:25.280

    made me chuckle a little. Definitely like it better than

    1075

    00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:26.980

    Learning Tree. I agree with that.

    1076

    00:39:27.100 --> 00:39:29.200

    I agree with that. The Learning Tree

    1077

    00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:31.320

    I will say this. This might

    1078

    00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.140

    be a slightly unpopular opinion.

    1079

    00:39:33.460 --> 00:39:35.300

    The Learning Tree if it was its

    1080

    00:39:35.300 --> 00:39:37.160

    own thing that

    1081

    00:39:37.160 --> 00:39:39.260

    wasn't directly connected to Jericho trying

    1082

    00:39:39.260 --> 00:39:41.560

    to troll the audience and make them booing him

    1083

    00:39:41.560 --> 00:39:43.000

    a gimmick.

    1084

    00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.180

    If he had just thought of that before any of this

    1085

    00:39:45.180 --> 00:39:47.320

    started, I think it might have been a pretty

    1086

    00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:49.280

    fun run. But the

    1087

    00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:50.740

    crowd already hated him by that point.

    1088

    00:39:50.740 --> 00:39:52.900

    There's just no saving that.

    1089

    00:39:53.100 --> 00:39:55.140

    Blurry Line 7 if he brings back

    1090

    00:39:55.140 --> 00:39:56.920

    Pain Maker that'd be like playing

    1091

    00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:59.100

    something off St. Anger and claiming it's the greatest

    1092

    00:39:59.100 --> 00:40:01.000

    hit. I agree with that. I do not

    1093

    00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:02.880

    like the Pain Maker. I don't think most

    1094

    00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:04.880

    people do. Fuck Your Mama Two Times. I go

    1095

    00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.200

    back to watch the list segments and I hate WWE.

    1096

    00:40:07.560 --> 00:40:08.860

    Fair enough. Fair enough.

    1097

    00:40:09.160 --> 00:40:10.420

    I still think that

    1098

    00:40:10.420 --> 00:40:12.980

    Festival of Friendship bit that they did on Raw

    1099

    00:40:12.980 --> 00:40:15.020

    with him and Owens is one of the better

    1100

    00:40:15.020 --> 00:40:16.360

    Raw segments that I ever saw.

    1101

    00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:18.880

    The Scare Glow. Chris is out

    1102

    00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:21.200

    there having fun. He's a true creative person. I do believe

    1103

    00:40:21.200 --> 00:40:23.060

    he's there to help AEW succeed

    1104

    00:40:23.060 --> 00:40:24.920

    even as a face. He's Wiley character

    1105

    00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:26.980

    like Bugs Bunny. I agree.

    1106

    00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.100

    Jericho I do believe is

    1107

    00:40:29.100 --> 00:40:31.080

    there to help the company

    1108

    00:40:31.080 --> 00:40:33.100

    and I think he is worth a lot more to the

    1109

    00:40:33.100 --> 00:40:34.980

    company than being online talking

    1110

    00:40:34.980 --> 00:40:37.020

    about wrestling would have you believe. He does

    1111

    00:40:37.020 --> 00:40:38.760

    still bring value to AEW.

    1112

    00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:41.080

    I absolutely believe that. It's far

    1113

    00:40:41.080 --> 00:40:43.040

    better for AEW to hold onto him than just

    1114

    00:40:43.040 --> 00:40:45.200

    deliver him into the arms of

    1115

    00:40:45.200 --> 00:40:46.960

    WWE. I know some people

    1116

    00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.080

    won't agree with me and that's fine. No big deal.

    1117

    00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:50.920

    But name

    1118

    00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.080

    value goes a long long way

    1119

    00:40:53.080 --> 00:40:55.080

    in wrestling and Chris Jericho brings a lot

    1120

    00:40:55.080 --> 00:40:57.040

    of that. Whether you like him or

    1121

    00:40:57.540 --> 00:40:59.200

    not. BJ Dixon my

    1122

    00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:01.080

    homie. Sup Blade. Comedy

    1123

    00:41:01.080 --> 00:41:02.940

    Jericho is the best Jericho in my opinion.

    1124

    00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.020

    I totally agree. I totally

    1125

    00:41:05.020 --> 00:41:06.960

    agree that Jericho when he's genuinely

    1126

    00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:08.820

    being funny and

    1127

    00:41:08.820 --> 00:41:10.960

    there were glimpses of that in this.

    1128

    00:41:12.540 --> 00:41:13.060

    Antoine the learning

    1129

    00:41:13.060 --> 00:41:15.360

    tree. If he could have just let it

    1130

    00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.400

    grow on its own and at the very least my guys are still

    1131

    00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:19.160

    there with the company and better off.

    1132

    00:41:19.580 --> 00:41:21.020

    Yeah I want to see Big Bill and

    1133

    00:41:21.020 --> 00:41:23.600

    Brian Keith come back in some way that's notable.

    1134

    00:41:24.200 --> 00:41:25.200

    Fucking have him

    1135

    00:41:25.200 --> 00:41:27.760

    crush Jericho. That would probably be

    1136

    00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:29.340

    something they could do that would be valuable to

    1137

    00:41:29.340 --> 00:41:31.700

    them. Let Sammy Guevara

    1138

    00:41:31.700 --> 00:41:33.360

    unite with those guys

    1139

    00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:35.700

    and have them all destroy Jericho.

    1140

    00:41:36.160 --> 00:41:37.560

    That might

    1141

    00:41:37.560 --> 00:41:39.420

    be actually a career boost for all of

    1142

    00:41:39.420 --> 00:41:41.260

    them. Bleary Line 7.

    1143

    00:41:41.780 --> 00:41:43.520

    Why is my name on this? Genuinely

    1144

    00:41:43.520 --> 00:41:45.600

    the best line delivery of Jericho's career.

    1145

    00:41:45.780 --> 00:41:47.880

    It was so good. It was so

    1146

    00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:49.380

    good and when

    1147

    00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:51.220

    he lifts up

    1148

    00:41:52.180 --> 00:41:53.500

    the, when Kevin Owens

    1149

    00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:55.580

    lifts up the list of Owens. That was so

    1150

    00:41:55.580 --> 00:41:57.680

    good. So fucking good. And then Vince

    1151

    00:41:57.680 --> 00:41:59.640

    fucked them over so hard at

    1152

    00:41:59.640 --> 00:42:01.720

    WrestleMania that year by having him go on twice.

    1153

    00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:03.660

    Or second. Just Jesus

    1154

    00:42:03.660 --> 00:42:05.740

    Christ. That should have made a vent at that show.

    1155

    00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:07.660

    Fuck you mom a two times. Paymaker is worse

    1156

    00:42:07.660 --> 00:42:09.620

    than the learning tree. I agree with you friend.

    1157

    00:42:10.660 --> 00:42:11.540

    Jericho that

    1158

    00:42:11.540 --> 00:42:13.700

    somebody just needs to keep that man away from face

    1159

    00:42:13.700 --> 00:42:15.700

    makeup. You know come out

    1160

    00:42:15.700 --> 00:42:17.720

    in the Muda mask. Do whatever you want but

    1161

    00:42:17.720 --> 00:42:19.820

    do not let that man touch a

    1162

    00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:21.360

    studded leather jacket ever again.

    1163

    00:42:22.020 --> 00:42:23.720

    In a bab Jericho brings incredible

    1164

    00:42:23.720 --> 00:42:25.920

    value to AEW for name value experience

    1165

    00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:27.760

    and what he can teach the younger wrestlers.

    1166

    00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:29.900

    Don't think he'd force his experience upon people

    1167

    00:42:29.900 --> 00:42:31.400

    e.g. Phil Brooks

    1168

    00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:34.560

    during that run. Agreed. Agreed.

    1169

    00:42:34.580 --> 00:42:35.800

    Fuck you mom a two times. Jericho

    1170

    00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:37.440

    is going to be the

    1171

    00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:39.020

    Diaz. That's ten.

    1172

    00:42:39.560 --> 00:42:40.000

    Oh.

    1173

    00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:43.420

    Ocho Nueve Diaz.

    1174

    00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:45.320

    Yes. The Diaz. That's ten

    1175

    00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:47.420

    in Spanish. Thank you. Thank you.

    1176

    00:42:47.520 --> 00:42:49.140

    BJ Dixon. Are we think of Swerve

    1177

    00:42:49.140 --> 00:42:50.440

    will cost Kenny the match to dynasty.

    1178

    00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:52.840

    My friend you are way ahead of us.

    1179

    00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.120

    We will get there because I have a sneaking

    1180

    00:42:55.120 --> 00:42:56.480

    suspicion you might be right.

    1181

    00:42:57.380 --> 00:42:58.340

    I will cry.

    1182

    00:42:58.820 --> 00:43:00.380

    I will cry. But I think

    1183

    00:43:00.940 --> 00:43:03.120

    it's worrying me that Swerve is

    1184

    00:43:03.120 --> 00:43:05.140

    nowhere near the show right now.

    1185

    00:43:05.240 --> 00:43:07.260

    It's worrying me. Antoine

    1186

    00:43:07.260 --> 00:43:09.580

    MJF has got to win somehow.

    1187

    00:43:10.540 --> 00:43:11.280

    We'll see.

    1188

    00:43:11.540 --> 00:43:13.160

    We'll see. All right. Moving on.

    1189

    00:43:14.260 --> 00:43:15.040

    Young Bugs versus

    1190

    00:43:15.040 --> 00:43:16.160

    Takeshita and Okada.

    1191

    00:43:17.140 --> 00:43:19.140

    Very abrupt addition to the show.

    1192

    00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.180

    It would have made a lot more sense to me

    1193

    00:43:21.180 --> 00:43:23.160

    if it was Okada and Fletcher but we all know

    1194

    00:43:23.160 --> 00:43:25.160

    Big Fletch Light is out for

    1195

    00:43:25.160 --> 00:43:27.060

    what is expected to be months. They said

    1196

    00:43:27.060 --> 00:43:29.120

    months. I hope it's not

    1197

    00:43:29.120 --> 00:43:30.900

    a super long time but

    1198

    00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:33.160

    I'm not holding my breath. We just

    1199

    00:43:33.160 --> 00:43:34.800

    don't know. So

    1200

    00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.180

    let's hope he's not out for a super long time.

    1201

    00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:38.960

    I think with this

    1202

    00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:40.720

    match there's just no heat to any of it.

    1203

    00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:42.800

    The Young Bugs kind of actually feel like

    1204

    00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:44.840

    bit players in the

    1205

    00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:45.680

    match themselves.

    1206

    00:43:46.860 --> 00:43:48.920

    Takeshita said if I do this match I want

    1207

    00:43:48.920 --> 00:43:50.460

    to face Okada at double or nothing.

    1208

    00:43:51.080 --> 00:43:52.780

    You know I support

    1209

    00:43:52.780 --> 00:43:54.620

    them doing that as far as

    1210

    00:43:54.620 --> 00:43:56.560

    this is going somewhere

    1211

    00:43:56.560 --> 00:43:58.900

    they are going to face off because we have

    1212

    00:43:58.900 --> 00:44:00.840

    been sounding the alarm on this one for a long

    1213

    00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:02.780

    time that there's been

    1214

    00:44:02.780 --> 00:44:04.800

    you know they've been building to Okada versus

    1215

    00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:06.820

    Takeshita forever. Okada

    1216

    00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:08.580

    is wrestling again so I don't think he's injured.

    1217

    00:44:09.560 --> 00:44:10.820

    So Don announces that they

    1218

    00:44:10.820 --> 00:44:13.000

    will fight each other at double or nothing

    1219

    00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:14.520

    for the international title.

    1220

    00:44:15.260 --> 00:44:16.760

    I like that Takeshita called this

    1221

    00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:18.740

    his title. I love it. Please

    1222

    00:44:18.740 --> 00:44:20.620

    make this belt feel significant again

    1223

    00:44:20.620 --> 00:44:23.020

    for fuck's sake. Last year

    1224

    00:44:23.020 --> 00:44:24.820

    the international title felt like

    1225

    00:44:24.820 --> 00:44:26.780

    the most significant title outside of

    1226

    00:44:26.780 --> 00:44:28.220

    the men's world title and now

    1227

    00:44:28.780 --> 00:44:30.840

    I hate that this happens but every time

    1228

    00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:33.100

    they put a belt on Okada it's like it's in a graveyard

    1229

    00:44:33.100 --> 00:44:34.880

    all of a sudden. So

    1230

    00:44:35.980 --> 00:44:36.760

    I hope

    1231

    00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:38.640

    you know this match is near the main event

    1232

    00:44:38.640 --> 00:44:40.880

    of double or nothing and it will depend

    1233

    00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:42.800

    on who's the world champion on

    1234

    00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:44.920

    either the female or male side.

    1235

    00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:46.960

    But one

    1236

    00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:48.920

    way or the other I am excited that Takeshita

    1237

    00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:50.480

    and Okada are finally going to wrestle

    1238

    00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:52.720

    a singles match but again we're not even talking

    1239

    00:44:52.720 --> 00:44:54.920

    about them wrestling the Young Bucks. I have

    1240

    00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:56.720

    the Young Bucks going over in this one.

    1241

    00:44:56.980 --> 00:44:58.800

    I think that

    1242

    00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:00.880

    just feels obvious. I didn't actually make a prediction

    1243

    00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:02.860

    for the Chris Jericho Ricochet match.

    1244

    00:45:03.120 --> 00:45:04.840

    I'm going to say Jericho but

    1245

    00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:06.900

    I'm going to say this. The reason Ricochet

    1246

    00:45:06.900 --> 00:45:08.980

    is the perfect opponent is it really

    1247

    00:45:08.980 --> 00:45:10.880

    Ricochet loses all the fucking time.

    1248

    00:45:10.900 --> 00:45:12.660

    Like he's lost to plenty of other people.

    1249

    00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:14.920

    It doesn't matter when Ricochet loses.

    1250

    00:45:15.040 --> 00:45:16.720

    He's kind of like that's

    1251

    00:45:16.720 --> 00:45:18.820

    he's this mid card gatekeeper

    1252

    00:45:18.820 --> 00:45:21.180

    guy. So

    1253

    00:45:21.180 --> 00:45:22.820

    he's going to fly all over the place. He's

    1254

    00:45:22.820 --> 00:45:24.260

    going to bump like crazy for Chris.

    1255

    00:45:25.580 --> 00:45:26.840

    It really doesn't matter which

    1256

    00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:28.840

    one of them wins or loses to be honest with you.

    1257

    00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:30.800

    I don't think Ricochet needs to win. I don't think Chris

    1258

    00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:32.940

    needs to win. If either one of them lose it doesn't

    1259

    00:45:32.940 --> 00:45:35.120

    really matter. So I'm just going to go with Jericho

    1260

    00:45:35.120 --> 00:45:37.060

    because he just came back. But

    1261

    00:45:37.060 --> 00:45:38.960

    honestly this is a good way to

    1262

    00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:40.920

    bring him back. I got Young

    1263

    00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:42.900

    Bucks over Takeshita and Okada. There's more

    1264

    00:45:43.620 --> 00:45:44.780

    story in the heat between

    1265

    00:45:44.780 --> 00:45:46.860

    Takeshita and Okada than there is between

    1266

    00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:48.880

    the

    1267

    00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:50.820

    Young Bucks. What story

    1268

    00:45:50.820 --> 00:45:52.480

    is there if the Young Bucks lose this?

    1269

    00:45:52.720 --> 00:45:54.480

    Also I think the Young Bucks winning

    1270

    00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:56.680

    makes you know escalates them up the

    1271

    00:45:56.680 --> 00:45:58.820

    ladder to still be contenders

    1272

    00:45:58.820 --> 00:46:00.500

    for whomever wins

    1273

    00:46:00.500 --> 00:46:02.540

    the match

    1274

    00:46:02.540 --> 00:46:04.420

    between Cage and Cope

    1275

    00:46:04.420 --> 00:46:06.540

    and FCR. Inabab

    1276

    00:46:06.540 --> 00:46:08.640

    says yes where it's been away for a

    1277

    00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:10.560

    bit too long did not cause mischief during the

    1278

    00:46:10.560 --> 00:46:11.660

    main event. I

    1279

    00:46:12.420 --> 00:46:14.180

    definitely feel that way.

    1280

    00:46:14.220 --> 00:46:16.920

    I think this match will be good but I wish they were facing an

    1281

    00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:18.200

    actual tag team. I agree.

    1282

    00:46:18.500 --> 00:46:20.460

    I agree. I would have loved to see

    1283

    00:46:20.460 --> 00:46:22.380

    the Young Bucks versus the Rascals.

    1284

    00:46:22.380 --> 00:46:24.660

    I would love to see the Young Bucks versus

    1285

    00:46:24.660 --> 00:46:26.640

    some of the other tag teams. Even

    1286

    00:46:26.640 --> 00:46:28.880

    the Grizzled Young Vets for Christ's sake.

    1287

    00:46:29.600 --> 00:46:30.600

    These guys are

    1288

    00:46:30.600 --> 00:46:32.400

    just never on

    1289

    00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:33.980

    big shows but they are

    1290

    00:46:33.980 --> 00:46:36.580

    on the roster page. I assume that means they are under

    1291

    00:46:36.580 --> 00:46:38.720

    contract. So very baffling

    1292

    00:46:38.720 --> 00:46:40.420

    to me the way the Grizzled Young Vets kind of

    1293

    00:46:40.420 --> 00:46:42.620

    don't get used. Fuck you mama two times.

    1294

    00:46:42.860 --> 00:46:44.480

    Please make Kenny the champ but I will

    1295

    00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.520

    say these interviews with MJF being

    1296

    00:46:46.520 --> 00:46:48.320

    the brand ambassador of AEW

    1297

    00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:50.460

    has helped gaining more viewers to the

    1298

    00:46:50.460 --> 00:46:52.140

    product. Completely agree.

    1299

    00:46:52.500 --> 00:46:54.860

    Completely agree. The Scare Glow

    1300

    00:46:54.860 --> 00:46:56.700

    in an unfortunate, it's an unfortunate

    1301

    00:46:56.700 --> 00:46:58.500

    situation with Fletcher. This is a fun way to

    1302

    00:46:58.500 --> 00:47:00.160

    make Takesha and Okada work together.

    1303

    00:47:00.600 --> 00:47:01.880

    Agreed. Agreed.

    1304

    00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:04.600

    It just, you know, it's a very

    1305

    00:47:04.600 --> 00:47:06.380

    abrupt match to announce.

    1306

    00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.620

    Blair Line 7 maybe in an unpopular opinion.

    1307

    00:47:09.060 --> 00:47:10.560

    But I think Fletch was above the TNT

    1308

    00:47:10.560 --> 00:47:12.480

    title anyway. I totally agree. In my

    1309

    00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:14.500

    honest opinion Fletcher having the pink TNT title

    1310

    00:47:14.500 --> 00:47:16.580

    was more like a trophy for beating Brisco

    1311

    00:47:16.580 --> 00:47:18.460

    that final time rather than being the champion.

    1312

    00:47:18.980 --> 00:47:20.650

    Yes, I completely agree.

    1313

    00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:23.200

    Benny the Bear says I smell

    1314

    00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:25.180

    shenanigans. I just say that

    1315

    00:47:25.180 --> 00:47:26.860

    because of Super Troopers. I smell

    1316

    00:47:26.860 --> 00:47:28.520

    shenanigans in this match.

    1317

    00:47:29.020 --> 00:47:30.940

    Yeah, I smell shenanigans

    1318

    00:47:30.940 --> 00:47:32.840

    in the Young Bucks

    1319

    00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:35.780

    with Okada and Takesha for sure.

    1320

    00:47:37.520 --> 00:47:39.020

    Yeah, we're going to see. But I think the Young Bucks

    1321

    00:47:39.020 --> 00:47:40.600

    are going to win this one. I really do.

    1322

    00:47:41.340 --> 00:47:43.160

    So next match, Darby

    1323

    00:47:43.160 --> 00:47:44.100

    versus Andrade.

    1324

    00:47:44.980 --> 00:47:46.840

    This will be a very good match. No

    1325

    00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:48.940

    doubt. It might be the sleeper match of the night.

    1326

    00:47:49.900 --> 00:47:50.960

    Anything Andrade is involved

    1327

    00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:52.440

    in could be the sleeper match of the night.

    1328

    00:47:52.600 --> 00:47:54.700

    I would love to see Darby actually wrestle

    1329

    00:47:54.700 --> 00:47:56.920

    a little more in this one than just kind of be bounced

    1330

    00:47:56.920 --> 00:47:58.940

    off of everything. He's

    1331

    00:47:58.940 --> 00:48:00.840

    kind of been in that trap lately where he's

    1332

    00:48:01.560 --> 00:48:02.520

    you know Darby just doing

    1333

    00:48:02.520 --> 00:48:05.020

    crazy suicidal stuff. This dude's a

    1334

    00:48:05.020 --> 00:48:07.040

    great wrestler. Darby is a

    1335

    00:48:07.040 --> 00:48:09.020

    great grappler. His submission

    1336

    00:48:09.020 --> 00:48:10.900

    game is super good. I want to see

    1337

    00:48:10.900 --> 00:48:12.980

    them have just a great match because they can.

    1338

    00:48:14.300 --> 00:48:14.740

    Now

    1339

    00:48:14.740 --> 00:48:16.940

    something I don't like about this match is that the

    1340

    00:48:16.940 --> 00:48:18.840

    winner was already granted a shot

    1341

    00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:20.740

    at MJF. Okay, so

    1342

    00:48:22.020 --> 00:48:22.580

    Don

    1343

    00:48:22.580 --> 00:48:24.600

    Callis is working with MJF to eliminate

    1344

    00:48:24.600 --> 00:48:26.600

    Darby. Andrade doesn't like it.

    1345

    00:48:26.600 --> 00:48:28.220

    He says, I want to be the champion.

    1346

    00:48:29.100 --> 00:48:30.760

    Darby gets Max to

    1347

    00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:32.660

    agree that he'll be

    1348

    00:48:32.660 --> 00:48:35.120

    granted a title shot if he wins

    1349

    00:48:35.120 --> 00:48:36.000

    this match.

    1350

    00:48:37.720 --> 00:48:38.820

    I don't like

    1351

    00:48:38.820 --> 00:48:40.740

    that. And the reason why is because

    1352

    00:48:41.300 --> 00:48:42.620

    MJF already has a defense

    1353

    00:48:42.620 --> 00:48:44.700

    scheduled against Kenny Omega later that night.

    1354

    00:48:45.100 --> 00:48:46.780

    And yes, even though Kenny said he would

    1355

    00:48:46.780 --> 00:48:48.440

    honor the stipulation,

    1356

    00:48:48.460 --> 00:48:50.660

    it feels like it's giving something away to me

    1357

    00:48:50.660 --> 00:48:52.580

    because MJF's the one that's being

    1358

    00:48:52.580 --> 00:48:54.600

    targeted and he's already agreed to the

    1359

    00:48:54.600 --> 00:48:56.720

    stipulation. To me that feels

    1360

    00:48:56.720 --> 00:48:58.900

    just they didn't need to do that.

    1361

    00:48:59.040 --> 00:49:00.640

    You know, like Darby could

    1362

    00:49:00.640 --> 00:49:02.180

    have wrestled Andrade just

    1363

    00:49:02.180 --> 00:49:04.820

    to wrestle Andrade and then on

    1364

    00:49:04.820 --> 00:49:06.680

    Dynamite after this they could announce that Darby

    1365

    00:49:06.680 --> 00:49:08.300

    is the number one contender. You know what I mean?

    1366

    00:49:08.660 --> 00:49:09.740

    If Darby wins.

    1367

    00:49:10.240 --> 00:49:12.300

    El Idolo is looking like a future baby

    1368

    00:49:12.300 --> 00:49:14.500

    face. You know, like I said, he's not happy

    1369

    00:49:14.500 --> 00:49:16.160

    that the Don Callis family is working

    1370

    00:49:16.160 --> 00:49:18.180

    for MJF and says he wants that

    1371

    00:49:18.180 --> 00:49:20.380

    title. So it's an interesting matchup

    1372

    00:49:20.380 --> 00:49:22.040

    that will be great. But between

    1373

    00:49:22.040 --> 00:49:24.100

    these two, there's not

    1374

    00:49:24.100 --> 00:49:26.140

    a lot of heat between it. It's just a match

    1375

    00:49:26.140 --> 00:49:27.980

    for match sake. You know what? Sometimes

    1376

    00:49:27.980 --> 00:49:29.940

    that's all you need. So I don't

    1377

    00:49:29.940 --> 00:49:32.040

    have a problem with these two working each other on

    1378

    00:49:32.040 --> 00:49:33.400

    the pay-per-view.

    1379

    00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:35.960

    But the whole winner,

    1380

    00:49:36.100 --> 00:49:37.960

    you know, Darby, you'll get a match versus MJF

    1381

    00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:38.860

    if you beat Andrade.

    1382

    00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:42.200

    I'm not really into it. I wish they hadn't

    1383

    00:49:42.200 --> 00:49:43.980

    added that wrinkle. It felt too

    1384

    00:49:43.980 --> 00:49:45.860

    cute by half for me. For me.

    1385

    00:49:46.200 --> 00:49:47.860

    Let's see what you guys think.

    1386

    00:49:48.340 --> 00:49:49.900

    Antoine says, the grizzled young vets

    1387

    00:49:49.900 --> 00:49:51.900

    do wrestle on ROH. I know, but

    1388

    00:49:51.900 --> 00:49:54.060

    they're, I mean, so

    1389

    00:49:54.060 --> 00:49:56.080

    who just wrestles on ROH?

    1390

    00:49:56.300 --> 00:49:58.020

    Like very few. So I would love

    1391

    00:49:58.020 --> 00:49:59.980

    to see them do what everybody else

    1392

    00:49:59.980 --> 00:50:02.220

    seems to be doing, which is going back and forth.

    1393

    00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:04.240

    Athena gets,

    1394

    00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:06.100

    you know, kind of in that

    1395

    00:50:06.100 --> 00:50:08.080

    ring of honor space and stays there

    1396

    00:50:08.080 --> 00:50:10.060

    for a long time. I love ring

    1397

    00:50:10.060 --> 00:50:12.440

    of honor, but like Athena,

    1398

    00:50:12.620 --> 00:50:13.760

    the grizzled young vets,

    1399

    00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:15.960

    they deserve opportunities on those main shows.

    1400

    00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:17.880

    They could use the exposure.

    1401

    00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:19.940

    That's all I'm saying. Nozist, I

    1402

    00:50:19.940 --> 00:50:21.780

    hope we get to see Darby actually wrestle.

    1403

    00:50:22.140 --> 00:50:23.860

    Yeah, me too, as I said.

    1404

    00:50:24.200 --> 00:50:26.020

    Nozist, Max has been granting title

    1405

    00:50:26.020 --> 00:50:28.020

    shots left and right this time around. That's

    1406

    00:50:28.020 --> 00:50:30.560

    true. He has. He's been a much more

    1407

    00:50:30.560 --> 00:50:32.200

    willing to defend the

    1408

    00:50:32.200 --> 00:50:34.080

    belt champion than he was the

    1409

    00:50:34.080 --> 00:50:36.320

    first time. I have a little more to say about

    1410

    00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:38.040

    that. BJ Dixon, I love Darby.

    1411

    00:50:38.100 --> 00:50:40.080

    He's in my top five in AEW right now

    1412

    00:50:40.080 --> 00:50:42.440

    with Swerve, Osprey, MJF and Fletcher.

    1413

    00:50:42.580 --> 00:50:44.280

    Bummed Kyle is hurt. Me too.

    1414

    00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.100

    Me too. It's a big loss for

    1415

    00:50:46.100 --> 00:50:47.960

    the company. Antoine,

    1416

    00:50:48.120 --> 00:50:50.200

    I hate to tell you about ROH is really getting

    1417

    00:50:50.200 --> 00:50:52.040

    split. That was one of the bigger points

    1418

    00:50:52.040 --> 00:50:54.180

    about shooting here locally to give it a different feel

    1419

    00:50:54.180 --> 00:50:55.920

    as a completely separate brand.

    1420

    00:50:57.120 --> 00:50:57.160

    Yeah.

    1421

    00:50:58.820 --> 00:51:00.240

    We're going to see how that

    1422

    00:51:00.240 --> 00:51:02.080

    kind of works out. I'm very interested

    1423

    00:51:02.080 --> 00:51:04.560

    to see how that works out. I also

    1424

    00:51:04.560 --> 00:51:06.280

    wouldn't mind people rotating up

    1425

    00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:08.240

    and down rather than ROH being

    1426

    00:51:08.240 --> 00:51:10.200

    like a developmental brand. Like

    1427

    00:51:10.200 --> 00:51:12.260

    people who aren't going to be in Dynamite Stories

    1428

    00:51:12.260 --> 00:51:14.360

    can be rotated into ROH

    1429

    00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.220

    for a while, have a program down there

    1430

    00:51:16.220 --> 00:51:18.480

    and be rotated back up to AEW.

    1431

    00:51:18.660 --> 00:51:19.680

    I don't want it to feel

    1432

    00:51:19.680 --> 00:51:22.420

    I don't, you know, there's people who really don't

    1433

    00:51:22.420 --> 00:51:24.200

    want ROH to feel like a lesser

    1434

    00:51:24.200 --> 00:51:26.220

    version or lesser promotion.

    1435

    00:51:26.560 --> 00:51:27.940

    And I hear that.

    1436

    00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:30.320

    They don't need to do ROH the way they do

    1437

    00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:32.340

    NXT. But I think

    1438

    00:51:32.340 --> 00:51:34.540

    ROH would benefit from some separation

    1439

    00:51:34.540 --> 00:51:36.460

    and some longer term roster

    1440

    00:51:36.460 --> 00:51:38.440

    members. But Athena's been there for three

    1441

    00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:40.380

    years, four years, you know, like

    1442

    00:51:40.380 --> 00:51:42.260

    she just she's been the champion there

    1443

    00:51:42.260 --> 00:51:44.460

    for three years. Like she needs

    1444

    00:51:44.460 --> 00:51:46.400

    to be rotated out and somebody could be

    1445

    00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:48.420

    rotated down to take that spot.

    1446

    00:51:48.780 --> 00:51:50.300

    You know, I feel the same way with the

    1447

    00:51:50.300 --> 00:51:52.220

    Grizzled Young Vets is they're not

    1448

    00:51:52.220 --> 00:51:54.480

    wrestling nearly enough in prime

    1449

    00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:56.220

    spots. They were on collision like three

    1450

    00:51:56.220 --> 00:51:58.340

    weeks ago and then they just disappear

    1451

    00:51:58.340 --> 00:51:59.880

    again. What's the point?

    1452

    00:52:00.080 --> 00:52:02.400

    But he's a character revolving around

    1453

    00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:04.820

    the title rather than having the title kind of revolve

    1454

    00:52:04.820 --> 00:52:06.480

    around the Brochatra story. I agree

    1455

    00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:08.400

    with that. I agree with that.

    1456

    00:52:08.460 --> 00:52:10.480

    Yeah, MJF is kind of a real champion this

    1457

    00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:12.460

    time. Agreed. I think Darby

    1458

    00:52:12.460 --> 00:52:15.060

    will likely win this match and will hopefully have a good match with Max

    1459

    00:52:15.060 --> 00:52:16.060

    at double or nothing.

    1460

    00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:18.660

    I'm hoping it'll be a non stipulation match.

    1461

    00:52:19.620 --> 00:52:20.420

    Agreed. Agreed

    1462

    00:52:20.420 --> 00:52:22.000

    on the non stipulation.

    1463

    00:52:22.140 --> 00:52:24.200

    Speaking of ROH, I'm always up for seeing more

    1464

    00:52:24.200 --> 00:52:26.120

    MXM on AEW TV, such a great

    1465

    00:52:26.120 --> 00:52:28.320

    mid card comedy group who always makes me laugh.

    1466

    00:52:28.600 --> 00:52:30.200

    Great wrestlers, too. Agree in it,

    1467

    00:52:30.220 --> 00:52:30.920

    Ben.

    1468

    00:52:32.080 --> 00:52:34.280

    Agree. The Scare Glow says ROH is on tonight.

    1469

    00:52:34.340 --> 00:52:36.160

    I'll be watching. I watch

    1470

    00:52:36.160 --> 00:52:38.480

    ROH regularly. I love

    1471

    00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:40.300

    ROH. So yes, I

    1472

    00:52:40.300 --> 00:52:42.140

    will watch it. Probably not tonight because

    1473

    00:52:42.140 --> 00:52:44.200

    I'll be mixing this thing that we're

    1474

    00:52:44.200 --> 00:52:45.720

    taping right now.

    1475

    00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:48.140

    Bleary Line, Lea Rush would do very

    1476

    00:52:48.140 --> 00:52:50.100

    good in Ring of Honor. I agree. He would be

    1477

    00:52:50.100 --> 00:52:52.200

    fantastic in Ring of Honor. I think

    1478

    00:52:52.200 --> 00:52:54.220

    the winner of this match tells you a lot about who's going to win

    1479

    00:52:54.220 --> 00:52:56.660

    the main event. Maybe.

    1480

    00:52:56.700 --> 00:52:58.480

    Tony Khan does have a good way

    1481

    00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:00.260

    of kind of pulling the rug out from under me. I'm

    1482

    00:53:00.260 --> 00:53:02.260

    wrong all the time. I'm going

    1483

    00:53:02.260 --> 00:53:04.200

    to venture to guess that

    1484

    00:53:05.870 --> 00:53:07.450

    I'm going to say Darby wins.

    1485

    00:53:07.930 --> 00:53:09.270

    I'm going to say Darby wins.

    1486

    00:53:09.730 --> 00:53:11.590

    Because even if Kenny wins,

    1487

    00:53:12.330 --> 00:53:14.050

    we've never seen Kenny versus

    1488

    00:53:14.050 --> 00:53:15.930

    Darby one on one that I'm aware of.

    1489

    00:53:16.490 --> 00:53:18.130

    We've seen Darby versus

    1490

    00:53:18.130 --> 00:53:19.810

    Max several times on Pay Per View,

    1491

    00:53:19.810 --> 00:53:21.430

    no less. And I really

    1492

    00:53:21.430 --> 00:53:23.910

    I'm just a fucking goof

    1493

    00:53:23.910 --> 00:53:26.290

    and I want fucking Kenny

    1494

    00:53:26.290 --> 00:53:26.830

    to win.

    1495

    00:53:28.750 --> 00:53:29.970

    Antoine says he was at the

    1496

    00:53:29.970 --> 00:53:31.710

    show Lea Rush I went to. It was so strange.

    1497

    00:53:32.070 --> 00:53:34.110

    We couldn't see him for most of the match.

    1498

    00:53:34.470 --> 00:53:35.970

    It's a very TV type of character.

    1499

    00:53:36.150 --> 00:53:37.850

    Interesting. I could see that.

    1500

    00:53:38.030 --> 00:53:39.790

    I could absolutely see that.

    1501

    00:53:40.150 --> 00:53:41.930

    Andrade's been built up so much, it's

    1502

    00:53:41.930 --> 00:53:43.230

    hard to root against him.

    1503

    00:53:43.690 --> 00:53:45.730

    But I still think Darby could take this.

    1504

    00:53:45.830 --> 00:53:48.330

    And I think he's going to. So I'm going to say Darby.

    1505

    00:53:48.670 --> 00:53:50.110

    Now this match, the next one,

    1506

    00:53:50.630 --> 00:53:52.210

    John Moxley versus Will Ospreay

    1507

    00:53:52.210 --> 00:53:53.770

    is now for the Continental title.

    1508

    00:53:55.190 --> 00:53:56.330

    This is maybe the

    1509

    00:53:56.330 --> 00:53:58.270

    best built match on this entire show.

    1510

    00:53:58.910 --> 00:54:00.650

    They have been pouring it on

    1511

    00:54:00.650 --> 00:54:02.370

    tough since the end

    1512

    00:54:02.370 --> 00:54:03.250

    of the last show.

    1513

    00:54:04.490 --> 00:54:05.990

    Since Ospreay came back.

    1514

    00:54:06.730 --> 00:54:08.150

    His recognition of the neck injury

    1515

    00:54:08.150 --> 00:54:10.230

    he's been, you know, he made

    1516

    00:54:10.230 --> 00:54:12.390

    it very clear who he blamed for this and rightfully so.

    1517

    00:54:12.410 --> 00:54:14.230

    He blamed Mox and the Death

    1518

    00:54:14.230 --> 00:54:16.090

    Riders. It has made for a great story.

    1519

    00:54:16.130 --> 00:54:18.470

    And then on Dynamite this week.

    1520

    00:54:18.770 --> 00:54:20.210

    Which by the way, just because

    1521

    00:54:20.210 --> 00:54:23.110

    I'm running through the card talking about the relevance

    1522

    00:54:23.110 --> 00:54:24.910

    of Dynamite per each

    1523

    00:54:24.910 --> 00:54:26.710

    match. This go home show

    1524

    00:54:26.710 --> 00:54:28.570

    of Dynamite was incredible. I thought it was

    1525

    00:54:28.570 --> 00:54:30.610

    very, very good. But the

    1526

    00:54:30.610 --> 00:54:32.550

    chaos of the United Empire coming

    1527

    00:54:32.550 --> 00:54:34.350

    to Will's defense. Holy

    1528

    00:54:35.690 --> 00:54:36.170

    fuuuuuuck.

    1529

    00:54:37.250 --> 00:54:38.350

    And that main event, the

    1530

    00:54:38.350 --> 00:54:40.490

    no DQ, United

    1531

    00:54:40.490 --> 00:54:42.270

    Empire versus Death Riders match

    1532

    00:54:42.270 --> 00:54:43.690

    absolutely ruled

    1533

    00:54:44.290 --> 00:54:46.370

    so much. It feels like the Forbidden Door

    1534

    00:54:46.370 --> 00:54:48.330

    build has already begun. It feels like the Double

    1535

    00:54:48.330 --> 00:54:50.450

    or Nothing build has already begun. We've already

    1536

    00:54:50.450 --> 00:54:52.530

    announced one of the main matches

    1537

    00:54:52.530 --> 00:54:54.310

    for Double or Nothing. So

    1538

    00:54:54.310 --> 00:54:56.510

    they're keeping momentum going for

    1539

    00:54:56.510 --> 00:54:57.850

    everything that you're about to see.

    1540

    00:54:58.450 --> 00:55:00.430

    I watched Sakura Genesis and I wasn't sure

    1541

    00:55:00.430 --> 00:55:02.110

    how I felt about Callum Newman

    1542

    00:55:02.110 --> 00:55:04.990

    winning the IWGP Heavyweight title. But

    1543

    00:55:04.990 --> 00:55:06.650

    after watching the match

    1544

    00:55:06.650 --> 00:55:08.430

    and then the way this story

    1545

    00:55:08.430 --> 00:55:10.210

    is being written, I'm on board.

    1546

    00:55:10.810 --> 00:55:12.530

    Callum Newman, one, has put on a shitload

    1547

    00:55:12.530 --> 00:55:14.210

    of muscle. And two,

    1548

    00:55:15.190 --> 00:55:16.470

    this development makes

    1549

    00:55:16.470 --> 00:55:18.650

    it clear that the

    1550

    00:55:18.650 --> 00:55:20.830

    story is going to be told between AEW

    1551

    00:55:20.830 --> 00:55:22.650

    and New Japan. And that's

    1552

    00:55:22.650 --> 00:55:24.490

    going to get more people watching New Japan when

    1553

    00:55:24.490 --> 00:55:26.570

    they feel like an AEW story that they want to

    1554

    00:55:26.570 --> 00:55:28.630

    see all of it. You got to watch

    1555

    00:55:28.630 --> 00:55:30.570

    some New Japan to see all of it. They're going to

    1556

    00:55:30.570 --> 00:55:32.730

    tune in. So it's very good for New Japan.

    1557

    00:55:33.010 --> 00:55:34.670

    And it feels like New Japan's

    1558

    00:55:34.670 --> 00:55:36.610

    biggest story this year so

    1559

    00:55:36.610 --> 00:55:38.270

    far. Well, Callum,

    1560

    00:55:38.370 --> 00:55:40.730

    you know, it seems predestined

    1561

    00:55:40.730 --> 00:55:42.510

    that Callum and Will, Callum's

    1562

    00:55:42.510 --> 00:55:44.570

    turning on Will Ospreay. I think that's a

    1563

    00:55:44.570 --> 00:55:46.130

    almost foregone conclusion.

    1564

    00:55:46.970 --> 00:55:48.670

    But Will Callum do it here?

    1565

    00:55:49.450 --> 00:55:50.470

    Will he somehow

    1566

    00:55:50.470 --> 00:55:51.870

    cost Will this match?

    1567

    00:55:52.550 --> 00:55:54.590

    I'm not sure. But

    1568

    00:55:54.590 --> 00:55:56.470

    you know, I think it's a possibility.

    1569

    00:55:57.170 --> 00:55:58.490

    And who cares

    1570

    00:55:58.490 --> 00:56:00.530

    if Callum Newman gets banned from AEW

    1571

    00:56:00.530 --> 00:56:02.290

    or suspended or whatever?

    1572

    00:56:02.330 --> 00:56:04.350

    It doesn't make that big of a difference ultimately because

    1573

    00:56:04.350 --> 00:56:06.490

    he's the New Japan Heavyweight champion.

    1574

    00:56:06.990 --> 00:56:08.590

    And that can set off

    1575

    00:56:08.590 --> 00:56:10.590

    a whole bunch of other things. Will Ospreay

    1576

    00:56:10.590 --> 00:56:13.230

    end up challenging Callum for the

    1577

    00:56:13.870 --> 00:56:15.410

    New Japan Heavyweight title.

    1578

    00:56:15.730 --> 00:56:17.510

    Who knows? Who knows?

    1579

    00:56:18.030 --> 00:56:19.470

    Antoine says, if you say

    1580

    00:56:19.470 --> 00:56:21.110

    Darby, then you got to say MJF.

    1581

    00:56:21.570 --> 00:56:23.490

    I think it's hand in hand. I'm predicting

    1582

    00:56:23.490 --> 00:56:24.810

    it that way anyway. LOL.

    1583

    00:56:25.310 --> 00:56:27.610

    Antoine, you're using the same psychology I usually do.

    1584

    00:56:27.690 --> 00:56:29.210

    And what am I? Wrong.

    1585

    00:56:29.510 --> 00:56:30.730

    Almost all the time I am wrong.

    1586

    00:56:31.250 --> 00:56:33.250

    If Andrade wins, Kenny wins. If Darby

    1587

    00:56:33.250 --> 00:56:35.310

    wins, I think MJF wins. Logic,

    1588

    00:56:35.750 --> 00:56:37.330

    basic wrestling logic would tell you that. But

    1589

    00:56:37.330 --> 00:56:39.230

    Tony Khan has not been booking, according

    1590

    00:56:39.230 --> 00:56:40.710

    to traditional logic lately.

    1591

    00:56:40.710 --> 00:56:43.090

    I have been very wrong based on traditional

    1592

    00:56:43.090 --> 00:56:44.530

    wrestling logic.

    1593

    00:56:45.390 --> 00:56:47.230

    Blair Line 7, United Empire looked

    1594

    00:56:47.230 --> 00:56:48.670

    like they'd not

    1595

    00:56:48.670 --> 00:56:50.970

    lost a step since that double

    1596

    00:56:50.970 --> 00:56:52.890

    cage match. Them being with Will is

    1597

    00:56:52.890 --> 00:56:55.030

    just magic. It immediately made

    1598

    00:56:55.030 --> 00:56:56.770

    United Empire feel like

    1599

    00:56:56.770 --> 00:56:59.050

    so much of a bigger deal.

    1600

    00:56:59.450 --> 00:57:00.850

    Not because they were in AEW.

    1601

    00:57:01.110 --> 00:57:02.570

    Not because they were with Will.

    1602

    00:57:03.310 --> 00:57:04.750

    They looked so

    1603

    00:57:04.750 --> 00:57:06.830

    Will, one, looked like he had never been

    1604

    00:57:06.830 --> 00:57:08.890

    away from the group. And they held their

    1605

    00:57:08.890 --> 00:57:11.070

    own with the Death Riders, who are on TV

    1606

    00:57:11.070 --> 00:57:11.910

    all the time.

    1607

    00:57:13.670 --> 00:57:15.090

    Yeah, they just felt like a

    1608

    00:57:15.090 --> 00:57:15.710

    huge deal.

    1609

    00:57:16.410 --> 00:57:18.930

    Hanare looked like just a fucking

    1610

    00:57:18.930 --> 00:57:20.950

    monster. You know, I want

    1611

    00:57:20.950 --> 00:57:23.150

    to see Hanare and Claudio have a singles match.

    1612

    00:57:23.630 --> 00:57:25.210

    If they added that to Dynasty,

    1613

    00:57:25.310 --> 00:57:27.490

    I wouldn't complain. That would be amazing.

    1614

    00:57:28.330 --> 00:57:28.930

    Antoine, that

    1615

    00:57:28.930 --> 00:57:30.910

    made me so proud as the New Japan

    1616

    00:57:30.910 --> 00:57:32.770

    match. They showed themselves to the world.

    1617

    00:57:32.790 --> 00:57:34.270

    This is a trilogy pay-per-view.

    1618

    00:57:35.250 --> 00:57:36.930

    A devil dinosaur. I've never seen

    1619

    00:57:36.930 --> 00:57:39.310

    any of those United Empire dudes before last night.

    1620

    00:57:39.490 --> 00:57:41.130

    I've been thinking about how cool they

    1621

    00:57:41.130 --> 00:57:43.190

    were all day. That's a big

    1622

    00:57:43.190 --> 00:57:44.550

    win for New Japan in my eyes.

    1623

    00:57:45.230 --> 00:57:47.170

    Yeah, yeah. So I

    1624

    00:57:47.170 --> 00:57:48.710

    think New Japan

    1625

    00:57:48.710 --> 00:57:51.030

    and AEW are going to be working a lot more hand

    1626

    00:57:51.030 --> 00:57:52.910

    in hand this year than they have

    1627

    00:57:52.910 --> 00:57:54.910

    throughout this partnership. But

    1628

    00:57:54.910 --> 00:57:56.870

    really, if anything, this global

    1629

    00:57:56.870 --> 00:57:58.830

    partnership, I said it last night,

    1630

    00:57:59.150 --> 00:58:00.990

    it's like the coolest thing I've ever seen

    1631

    00:58:00.990 --> 00:58:02.950

    in wrestling ever. The global

    1632

    00:58:02.950 --> 00:58:05.150

    partnership, AEW, Stardom,

    1633

    00:58:05.150 --> 00:58:07.290

    New Japan, CMLL,

    1634

    00:58:07.910 --> 00:58:09.250

    there's others that are kind of

    1635

    00:58:09.250 --> 00:58:10.790

    more tangential members of

    1636

    00:58:10.790 --> 00:58:13.110

    that partnership. But

    1637

    00:58:13.110 --> 00:58:15.290

    I want to see more Stardom involvement,

    1638

    00:58:15.330 --> 00:58:17.050

    for sure. But

    1639

    00:58:17.050 --> 00:58:19.210

    also, how fucking

    1640

    00:58:19.210 --> 00:58:21.410

    awesome is this? There's literally an

    1641

    00:58:21.410 --> 00:58:23.190

    endless supply of dream matches that

    1642

    00:58:23.190 --> 00:58:25.410

    you can come up with between these promotions.

    1643

    00:58:26.370 --> 00:58:27.230

    So everything can

    1644

    00:58:27.230 --> 00:58:29.450

    feel fresh all the time. And

    1645

    00:58:29.450 --> 00:58:31.210

    rematches aren't a big deal because they don't have

    1646

    00:58:31.210 --> 00:58:32.690

    to come one right after the other.

    1647

    00:58:32.690 --> 00:58:34.650

    You know, it's really, really incredible.

    1648

    00:58:35.050 --> 00:58:36.850

    Devil Dinosaur. Funny you should say that, Blade. I thought

    1649

    00:58:36.850 --> 00:58:38.970

    Callum didn't look like he was too happy being

    1650

    00:58:38.970 --> 00:58:40.170

    second fiddle last night.

    1651

    00:58:41.130 --> 00:58:42.950

    Yeah. The Scare Glow

    1652

    00:58:42.950 --> 00:58:44.830

    will have to get his vengeance. I love mocks,

    1653

    00:58:44.850 --> 00:58:46.130

    but he's going to eat a hidden blade.

    1654

    00:58:47.270 --> 00:58:48.790

    I felt that way, but with

    1655

    00:58:48.790 --> 00:58:50.730

    Callum being kind of like front

    1656

    00:58:50.730 --> 00:58:52.710

    and center. It's hard to say.

    1657

    00:58:52.930 --> 00:58:54.330

    It's really, really hard to say.

    1658

    00:58:54.870 --> 00:58:56.910

    The Scare Glow. If Revolution was Empire Strikes

    1659

    00:58:56.910 --> 00:58:58.750

    Back, Dynasty maybe Return

    1660

    00:58:58.750 --> 00:59:00.970

    of the Jedi. The faces get theirs.

    1661

    00:59:03.510 --> 00:59:04.470

    I'm excited to see

    1662

    00:59:04.470 --> 00:59:05.630

    the outcome one way or the other.

    1663

    00:59:06.570 --> 00:59:08.210

    Wrestling promotions, sharing talent, platforming

    1664

    00:59:08.210 --> 00:59:10.270

    each other's stars to give us never seen before

    1665

    00:59:10.270 --> 00:59:10.810

    matches.

    1666

    00:59:11.830 --> 00:59:14.690

    I know it's gross, isn't it?

    1667

    00:59:15.750 --> 00:59:16.290

    Blair Line 7,

    1668

    00:59:16.330 --> 00:59:18.250

    we should pull all those names.

    1669

    00:59:21.350 --> 00:59:22.490

    Antoine. I need stardom

    1670

    00:59:22.490 --> 00:59:24.590

    because Maki Edo. Come on, Tony.

    1671

    00:59:25.990 --> 00:59:26.610

    I agree.

    1672

    00:59:26.870 --> 00:59:28.230

    I want more stardom. I want more

    1673

    00:59:28.230 --> 00:59:30.130

    stardom. I want to see Azumi in

    1674

    00:59:30.130 --> 00:59:32.310

    AEW. I want to see, you know, and

    1675

    00:59:32.310 --> 00:59:34.350

    to be fair, you know,

    1676

    00:59:34.350 --> 00:59:36.230

    AEW has been sending a lot of people to

    1677

    00:59:36.230 --> 00:59:38.170

    stardom. So I want

    1678

    00:59:38.170 --> 00:59:40.050

    to see that. I really do. Great

    1679

    00:59:40.050 --> 00:59:42.010

    stuff, you guys, as always. Speaking of

    1680

    00:59:42.010 --> 00:59:44.110

    stardom talent, two former stardom

    1681

    00:59:44.110 --> 00:59:45.790

    talents, Tekla and Jamie Hader,

    1682

    00:59:46.310 --> 00:59:48.310

    are going to be competing for the Women's World

    1683

    00:59:48.310 --> 00:59:50.170

    Championship. I'm very stoked

    1684

    00:59:50.170 --> 00:59:52.110

    for this match. I think these two

    1685

    00:59:52.110 --> 00:59:54.110

    are going to beat the living shit out of each other,

    1686

    00:59:54.390 --> 00:59:56.110

    but I got to call something out. There's been

    1687

    00:59:56.110 --> 00:59:58.210

    very, very little build for this

    1688

    00:59:58.210 --> 01:00:00.270

    and very little time given to generate

    1689

    01:00:00.270 --> 01:00:02.430

    big interest in it. These two do

    1690

    01:00:02.430 --> 01:00:04.150

    have a history, but it's kind of a dry

    1691

    01:00:04.150 --> 01:00:06.210

    history. It's like you hurt me when

    1692

    01:00:06.210 --> 01:00:07.910

    you joined the company

    1693

    01:00:07.910 --> 01:00:10.290

    and they had one pay-per-view match.

    1694

    01:00:10.850 --> 01:00:12.150

    Jamie beat Tekla. They weren't

    1695

    01:00:12.150 --> 01:00:14.130

    put back together in any meaningful

    1696

    01:00:14.130 --> 01:00:16.250

    way after. And

    1697

    01:00:16.250 --> 01:00:18.270

    Tekla just went on to be the champion and Jamie

    1698

    01:00:18.270 --> 01:00:19.970

    is in a tag team. I think

    1699

    01:00:19.970 --> 01:00:22.130

    Tekla's promos have been batshit crazy and

    1700

    01:00:22.130 --> 01:00:23.950

    super good. Love the one with

    1701

    01:00:23.950 --> 01:00:25.750

    Lexi. I'm not going to try to repeat it here

    1702

    01:00:25.750 --> 01:00:28.090

    because I would do it wrong

    1703

    01:00:28.090 --> 01:00:29.910

    and it would just sound creepy coming from me,

    1704

    01:00:29.910 --> 01:00:32.030

    but it was fucking crazy

    1705

    01:00:32.030 --> 01:00:34.070

    coming from Tekla too. She is

    1706

    01:00:34.070 --> 01:00:35.910

    so badass. I love this woman. I love

    1707

    01:00:35.910 --> 01:00:38.090

    Jamie Hader. This does beg a

    1708

    01:00:38.090 --> 01:00:39.990

    question though. We have

    1709

    01:00:40.470 --> 01:00:41.950

    Marina Shafir and

    1710

    01:00:41.950 --> 01:00:43.870

    Alex Windsor wrestling on the

    1711

    01:00:43.870 --> 01:00:45.650

    pre-show and we have

    1712

    01:00:45.650 --> 01:00:47.570

    Tekla and

    1713

    01:00:47.570 --> 01:00:49.870

    Jamie Hader on the main card.

    1714

    01:00:50.210 --> 01:00:51.750

    Where the fuck are the rest of the women

    1715

    01:00:51.750 --> 01:00:52.950

    on this show?

    1716

    01:00:52.950 --> 01:00:55.190

    Like, what's happening with

    1717

    01:00:55.190 --> 01:00:57.230

    the women's tag titles? What's Divine Dominion

    1718

    01:00:57.230 --> 01:00:59.510

    up to? And

    1719

    01:00:59.510 --> 01:01:01.050

    Willow. Why isn't Willow wrestling

    1720

    01:01:01.050 --> 01:01:03.030

    on the show? It's still possible

    1721

    01:01:03.030 --> 01:01:04.950

    they could announce these matches, but this

    1722

    01:01:05.710 --> 01:01:07.150

    cannot stand as it is.

    1723

    01:01:07.330 --> 01:01:08.910

    Like, one women's match on the main card,

    1724

    01:01:08.970 --> 01:01:11.030

    fuck that. Like,

    1725

    01:01:11.510 --> 01:01:13.150

    those women's tag titles have been made to

    1726

    01:01:13.150 --> 01:01:15.170

    feel important. They should be on this

    1727

    01:01:15.170 --> 01:01:17.070

    show. They should be on this show

    1728

    01:01:17.070 --> 01:01:19.010

    and so should the TBS title. The women have

    1729

    01:01:19.010 --> 01:01:21.050

    three titles and all of them

    1730

    01:01:21.050 --> 01:01:23.150

    should be defended on this show. And if

    1731

    01:01:23.150 --> 01:01:24.590

    they're not, I think that's bullshit.

    1732

    01:01:25.350 --> 01:01:27.130

    So Tony, don't make me look stupid

    1733

    01:01:27.130 --> 01:01:29.010

    by saying how great AEW is doing

    1734

    01:01:29.010 --> 01:01:31.050

    and then you barely book any women on

    1735

    01:01:31.050 --> 01:01:33.110

    the show. This division is insane.

    1736

    01:01:34.490 --> 01:01:35.110

    So, you know,

    1737

    01:01:35.110 --> 01:01:37.010

    again, I'm not saying that's what's going

    1738

    01:01:37.010 --> 01:01:39.430

    to happen, but the card as it stands right now

    1739

    01:01:39.430 --> 01:01:40.910

    has one women's match.

    1740

    01:01:42.210 --> 01:01:43.190

    And even if you

    1741

    01:01:43.190 --> 01:01:44.850

    add those two matches

    1742

    01:01:44.850 --> 01:01:46.770

    that I just spoke of,

    1743

    01:01:47.790 --> 01:01:49.050

    that's like, what, right before

    1744

    01:01:49.050 --> 01:01:51.810

    the show? Like,

    1745

    01:01:52.370 --> 01:01:53.650

    none of the women's matches really have

    1746

    01:01:53.650 --> 01:01:55.690

    any build. Alex Windsor and Marina

    1747

    01:01:55.690 --> 01:01:57.730

    Shafir had no build until last night.

    1748

    01:01:59.770 --> 01:01:59.790

    So,

    1749

    01:02:00.290 --> 01:02:01.590

    Tony, like,

    1750

    01:02:01.710 --> 01:02:03.530

    don't lose the plot here, man. You've done so

    1751

    01:02:03.530 --> 01:02:04.590

    great with the women's division.

    1752

    01:02:05.770 --> 01:02:07.550

    This pay-per-view has left a little

    1753

    01:02:07.550 --> 01:02:09.410

    bit to be desired as far as build, in

    1754

    01:02:09.410 --> 01:02:11.570

    my opinion. BJ Dixon says

    1755

    01:02:11.570 --> 01:02:13.290

    Jamie and Tekla's build is one of the few things

    1756

    01:02:13.290 --> 01:02:14.870

    that frustrates me about Dynasty.

    1757

    01:02:15.390 --> 01:02:17.050

    I know. I know.

    1758

    01:02:17.050 --> 01:02:19.430

    I agree with you, 100%.

    1759

    01:02:19.430 --> 01:02:21.330

    Jamie did promise to beat the living piss

    1760

    01:02:21.330 --> 01:02:23.470

    out of Tekla. That is true. That is true.

    1761

    01:02:24.230 --> 01:02:25.290

    Antoine Tekla, she

    1762

    01:02:25.290 --> 01:02:27.290

    wins this, period. I don't see anything gained here.

    1763

    01:02:27.350 --> 01:02:29.270

    Jamie is on point right now, but the champ

    1764

    01:02:29.270 --> 01:02:31.110

    is on fire. She just got re-upped and they ain't taking

    1765

    01:02:31.110 --> 01:02:33.170

    the belt off her. Antoine, I completely agree.

    1766

    01:02:33.210 --> 01:02:34.750

    I think Tekla's taking this for sure.

    1767

    01:02:35.330 --> 01:02:36.430

    Tekla's definitely winning.

    1768

    01:02:37.150 --> 01:02:39.310

    Devil Dinosaur, look at the discussion

    1769

    01:02:39.310 --> 01:02:41.130

    today. Some companies stand together to create

    1770

    01:02:41.130 --> 01:02:42.690

    art and life and love and entertainment,

    1771

    01:02:43.090 --> 01:02:44.850

    while others align in order to dominate

    1772

    01:02:44.850 --> 01:02:47.070

    a lot like the world we live in. Very

    1773

    01:02:47.070 --> 01:02:48.310

    true. Very true.

    1774

    01:02:48.750 --> 01:02:50.850

    I definitely love the

    1775

    01:02:51.690 --> 01:02:53.430

    collaboration and the shared

    1776

    01:02:53.430 --> 01:02:54.990

    passion and love for pro

    1777

    01:02:54.990 --> 01:02:57.210

    wrestling that we're getting from

    1778

    01:02:57.210 --> 01:02:59.090

    that global partnership. It's

    1779

    01:02:59.090 --> 01:03:00.870

    inspiring to me. I

    1780

    01:03:00.870 --> 01:03:03.150

    am a bigger wrestling fan today

    1781

    01:03:03.150 --> 01:03:05.050

    than I was when I was like 10 years

    1782

    01:03:05.050 --> 01:03:06.930

    old because of the global partnership.

    1783

    01:03:07.050 --> 01:03:08.690

    I will say that, first and foremost.

    1784

    01:03:09.490 --> 01:03:10.750

    Gnosis, we need Mercedes

    1785

    01:03:10.750 --> 01:03:12.990

    back. The women's division is better with her

    1786

    01:03:12.990 --> 01:03:14.810

    I totally agree and I think

    1787

    01:03:14.810 --> 01:03:17.310

    that is probably, she will probably

    1788

    01:03:17.310 --> 01:03:19.250

    come back during dynasty, is my

    1789

    01:03:19.250 --> 01:03:21.150

    guess. That would be my guess.

    1790

    01:03:21.770 --> 01:03:23.250

    Antoine said, when is he going to realize

    1791

    01:03:23.250 --> 01:03:25.270

    he needs help with the women's division from a

    1792

    01:03:25.270 --> 01:03:26.870

    woman? Completely agree.

    1793

    01:03:27.070 --> 01:03:28.490

    Completely agree, Antoine.

    1794

    01:03:29.770 --> 01:03:31.150

    I agree. There has been

    1795

    01:03:31.150 --> 01:03:32.670

    so much progress made.

    1796

    01:03:33.390 --> 01:03:35.130

    So many shows have

    1797

    01:03:35.130 --> 01:03:37.310

    had three women's

    1798

    01:03:37.310 --> 01:03:38.930

    matches and I don't even notice as much

    1799

    01:03:38.930 --> 01:03:41.170

    anymore until someone mentions it to me

    1800

    01:03:41.170 --> 01:03:43.010

    because it's not as uncommon as it used to be.

    1801

    01:03:43.290 --> 01:03:45.250

    And then you have the build like

    1802

    01:03:45.250 --> 01:03:46.410

    this where it's like

    1803

    01:03:47.110 --> 01:03:48.730

    where are the women's matches, dude?

    1804

    01:03:48.990 --> 01:03:51.210

    Where are the women's stories even?

    1805

    01:03:51.330 --> 01:03:53.130

    You know? Blurry line, I think

    1806

    01:03:53.130 --> 01:03:55.090

    also both birds need to lose for them

    1807

    01:03:55.090 --> 01:03:56.790

    to kind of realize that they're stronger together

    1808

    01:03:56.790 --> 01:03:58.490

    and they need to concentrate their focus.

    1809

    01:03:58.990 --> 01:04:01.090

    Totally agree. Now, I do think

    1810

    01:04:01.090 --> 01:04:03.170

    Sheeta and Willow could end up having something

    1811

    01:04:03.170 --> 01:04:05.110

    happen at the pay-per-view.

    1812

    01:04:05.510 --> 01:04:07.150

    I would love that. I would love to see

    1813

    01:04:07.150 --> 01:04:09.330

    another match between those two. I thought their first one was

    1814

    01:04:09.330 --> 01:04:11.430

    excellent. And I think

    1815

    01:04:11.430 --> 01:04:13.490

    there's plenty of potential for others. But I

    1816

    01:04:13.490 --> 01:04:15.530

    agree with Blurry line. I think both the birds are losing.

    1817

    01:04:15.990 --> 01:04:17.230

    I think Tekla takes this

    1818

    01:04:17.230 --> 01:04:19.330

    easily. Not that

    1819

    01:04:19.330 --> 01:04:21.250

    she won't win easily, but

    1820

    01:04:21.250 --> 01:04:23.510

    it's just easy to pick her because as

    1821

    01:04:23.510 --> 01:04:25.310

    Antoine said, she's just fucking on a roll.

    1822

    01:04:25.730 --> 01:04:27.550

    Tekla's the shit.

    1823

    01:04:28.170 --> 01:04:29.410

    Next match. FTR

    1824

    01:04:29.410 --> 01:04:31.370

    versus Christian Cage and

    1825

    01:04:31.370 --> 01:04:33.350

    Adam Copeland. I

    1826

    01:04:33.350 --> 01:04:35.270

    think this match has the highest

    1827

    01:04:35.270 --> 01:04:37.450

    odds of probably producing that feel-good

    1828

    01:04:37.450 --> 01:04:39.530

    ending. It feels like Cage

    1829

    01:04:39.530 --> 01:04:41.410

    and Cope are destined to be champions

    1830

    01:04:41.410 --> 01:04:43.430

    and doing it in Canada just

    1831

    01:04:43.430 --> 01:04:45.550

    makes sense. And the build

    1832

    01:04:45.550 --> 01:04:47.710

    for it feels really significant,

    1833

    01:04:47.750 --> 01:04:49.410

    too. I mean, when you think about it, it's

    1834

    01:04:49.410 --> 01:04:51.470

    been going on in one fashion or another

    1835

    01:04:51.470 --> 01:04:53.830

    with long pauses

    1836

    01:04:53.830 --> 01:04:55.470

    since last year's, I believe

    1837

    01:04:55.470 --> 01:04:57.430

    it was double or nothing, where FTR

    1838

    01:04:57.430 --> 01:04:59.490

    turned heel. They've done a good

    1839

    01:04:59.490 --> 01:05:01.630

    job of adding layers to this with Beth

    1840

    01:05:01.630 --> 01:05:03.490

    and with Cope's neck issues

    1841

    01:05:03.490 --> 01:05:05.450

    and the history with Cash Wheeler.

    1842

    01:05:05.450 --> 01:05:07.650

    I think it's been interesting

    1843

    01:05:07.650 --> 01:05:09.730

    this RPG VICE

    1844

    01:05:09.730 --> 01:05:11.670

    kind of involvement in it

    1845

    01:05:11.670 --> 01:05:14.270

    all has felt very interesting to me.

    1846

    01:05:15.250 --> 01:05:17.530

    But I don't think there's any chance. To

    1847

    01:05:17.530 --> 01:05:19.550

    me, this one, I feel the

    1848

    01:05:19.550 --> 01:05:21.690

    most confident about this in the Tekla win.

    1849

    01:05:22.190 --> 01:05:23.450

    I think Cage and Cope are going to win

    1850

    01:05:23.450 --> 01:05:25.930

    this match. What do you guys think?

    1851

    01:05:26.270 --> 01:05:27.650

    Flurry line. Feel-good

    1852

    01:05:27.650 --> 01:05:29.430

    ending equals Christian has life-sex

    1853

    01:05:29.430 --> 01:05:31.750

    celebration in the ring with Mrs. Hathaway.

    1854

    01:05:33.550 --> 01:05:34.590

    Yep. Yep.

    1855

    01:05:35.350 --> 01:05:36.730

    Probably BJ Dixon.

    1856

    01:05:37.270 --> 01:05:38.770

    Madison Rain may need more help with

    1857

    01:05:38.770 --> 01:05:40.650

    coaching the women's division because the fact that Willow

    1858

    01:05:40.650 --> 01:05:42.510

    is getting a good story months into her reign

    1859

    01:05:42.510 --> 01:05:44.650

    is appalling to me. Totally agree.

    1860

    01:05:44.830 --> 01:05:45.850

    I think the tag titles

    1861

    01:05:46.950 --> 01:05:48.610

    ended up being kind of a distraction.

    1862

    01:05:49.090 --> 01:05:50.570

    Honestly, they just

    1863

    01:05:50.570 --> 01:05:52.810

    didn't do anything with the TBS

    1864

    01:05:52.810 --> 01:05:54.010

    title until

    1865

    01:05:54.990 --> 01:05:56.970

    she lost the

    1866

    01:05:56.970 --> 01:05:58.610

    tag titles, you know?

    1867

    01:05:58.870 --> 01:06:00.550

    Antoine, C&C Wrestling Factory

    1868

    01:06:00.550 --> 01:06:01.970

    are going to win this match with fun.

    1869

    01:06:02.430 --> 01:06:04.230

    And it sets up another tag team in the wings.

    1870

    01:06:05.410 --> 01:06:05.810

    Agreed.

    1871

    01:06:05.910 --> 01:06:08.230

    Gnosis, my prediction, Beth Phoenix shows up

    1872

    01:06:08.230 --> 01:06:09.470

    and spears Stoke.

    1873

    01:06:10.590 --> 01:06:12.550

    What if Beth shows up and spears

    1874

    01:06:12.550 --> 01:06:14.410

    Cope? And then you find out

    1875

    01:06:14.410 --> 01:06:16.230

    that she's been having sex with Stokely

    1876

    01:06:16.230 --> 01:06:18.270

    this whole time. Sorry, Beth.

    1877

    01:06:18.530 --> 01:06:19.930

    I know that would never happen.

    1878

    01:06:20.230 --> 01:06:22.490

    Please don't tell her I said this. Nobody shared that footage.

    1879

    01:06:22.910 --> 01:06:24.590

    Devil, Dinosaur, Cage, and Cope are going to win.

    1880

    01:06:24.710 --> 01:06:26.310

    And Gnosis is totally right about Beth.

    1881

    01:06:26.670 --> 01:06:28.550

    Yeah, I think that's

    1882

    01:06:28.550 --> 01:06:29.490

    totally happening.

    1883

    01:06:29.990 --> 01:06:32.530

    The Scare Glow, Cage, Cope, and Gangrel for the win.

    1884

    01:06:32.630 --> 01:06:33.470

    Fuck yeah.

    1885

    01:06:34.890 --> 01:06:36.270

    Antoine, that would rock.

    1886

    01:06:36.890 --> 01:06:38.270

    I assume you're talking about my brilliant

    1887

    01:06:38.270 --> 01:06:40.690

    booking of Beth Phoenix, of Beth Copeland

    1888

    01:06:40.690 --> 01:06:41.690

    rather. Sorry.

    1889

    01:06:42.570 --> 01:06:43.930

    No TM on that one.

    1890

    01:06:44.330 --> 01:06:46.330

    I think this is the easiest match to call.

    1891

    01:06:46.470 --> 01:06:48.570

    I think Christian and

    1892

    01:06:48.570 --> 01:06:49.670

    Copeland are going to win.

    1893

    01:06:51.070 --> 01:06:52.550

    Alright, so that leads us

    1894

    01:06:52.550 --> 01:06:54.270

    to the main event. The Devil

    1895

    01:06:54.270 --> 01:06:55.510

    versus the God

    1896

    01:06:56.250 --> 01:06:57.830

    for the Men's World

    1897

    01:06:57.830 --> 01:06:59.770

    Championship. I thought this

    1898

    01:06:59.770 --> 01:07:01.740

    last, the last segment of AEW

    1899

    01:07:02.390 --> 01:07:03.550

    on Dynamite was

    1900

    01:07:03.550 --> 01:07:05.890

    fantastic. I thought it was very, very good.

    1901

    01:07:06.770 --> 01:07:07.770

    Kenny coming out in the

    1902

    01:07:07.770 --> 01:07:09.630

    suit, you know, cutting

    1903

    01:07:09.630 --> 01:07:11.730

    long promos is not Kenny's bag usually

    1904

    01:07:11.730 --> 01:07:13.530

    and he did it in a typical Kenny

    1905

    01:07:13.530 --> 01:07:15.830

    fashion, but I thought he did a great job.

    1906

    01:07:16.070 --> 01:07:17.430

    He spelled out

    1907

    01:07:17.430 --> 01:07:19.590

    the significance of the whole thing to

    1908

    01:07:19.590 --> 01:07:21.550

    him long before MJF

    1909

    01:07:21.550 --> 01:07:23.850

    came out. However,

    1910

    01:07:23.850 --> 01:07:26.130

    I would also say Kenny came across a bit

    1911

    01:07:26.130 --> 01:07:28.230

    arrogant and like he

    1912

    01:07:29.310 --> 01:07:30.110

    isn't keeping

    1913

    01:07:30.110 --> 01:07:32.050

    up with MJF's progress, because he

    1914

    01:07:32.050 --> 01:07:34.230

    kind of made it sound like we got to get this belt off you

    1915

    01:07:34.230 --> 01:07:36.110

    because you're not a good wrestler

    1916

    01:07:36.110 --> 01:07:38.290

    and you don't defend the belt honorably.

    1917

    01:07:39.170 --> 01:07:40.110

    He beat Hangman

    1918

    01:07:40.110 --> 01:07:41.990

    clean to the rules

    1919

    01:07:41.990 --> 01:07:43.650

    of that match, you know what I mean?

    1920

    01:07:45.070 --> 01:07:46.030

    He's won

    1921

    01:07:46.030 --> 01:07:48.350

    a lot of his matches relatively clean

    1922

    01:07:49.130 --> 01:07:49.870

    since winning

    1923

    01:07:49.870 --> 01:07:52.090

    that title. MJF

    1924

    01:07:52.090 --> 01:07:54.390

    has been a fighting champion in this reign.

    1925

    01:07:55.290 --> 01:07:56.390

    Larry Lyon said earlier,

    1926

    01:07:56.510 --> 01:07:58.170

    you know, MJF's like a real champion

    1927

    01:07:58.170 --> 01:08:00.050

    this time. He kind of is.

    1928

    01:08:00.750 --> 01:08:02.190

    You know, and

    1929

    01:08:02.190 --> 01:08:03.670

    I think

    1930

    01:08:05.010 --> 01:08:07.490

    this is maybe planting the seeds that Kenny

    1931

    01:08:07.490 --> 01:08:09.430

    is drastically underestimating MJF

    1932

    01:08:10.430 --> 01:08:11.470

    and perhaps

    1933

    01:08:11.470 --> 01:08:13.390

    that Kenny's a little bit out of touch.

    1934

    01:08:14.090 --> 01:08:15.510

    And I hope I'm wrong.

    1935

    01:08:15.970 --> 01:08:17.330

    Okay, I hope I'm wrong.

    1936

    01:08:18.250 --> 01:08:19.390

    I loved the bit

    1937

    01:08:19.390 --> 01:08:21.770

    at the end where MJF was gonna, you know,

    1938

    01:08:21.770 --> 01:08:24.410

    gonna try and turn on Kenny and Kenny hits him with

    1939

    01:08:24.410 --> 01:08:25.229

    the V trigger.

    1940

    01:08:25.370 --> 01:08:27.850

    And then he took the ring off and put it on for just

    1941

    01:08:27.850 --> 01:08:29.490

    a second, did the bang with it.

    1942

    01:08:29.529 --> 01:08:31.010

    That was really, really fun.

    1943

    01:08:31.630 --> 01:08:33.689

    I think Antoine needs Kenny

    1944

    01:08:33.689 --> 01:08:35.790

    to lose this. It's clear that Antoine

    1945

    01:08:35.790 --> 01:08:37.970

    has some kind of spiritual vendetta

    1946

    01:08:37.970 --> 01:08:39.029

    against Kenny Omega

    1947

    01:08:39.770 --> 01:08:41.729

    because he said people usually call themselves

    1948

    01:08:41.729 --> 01:08:43.729

    gods, get their come up in some, just saying

    1949

    01:08:43.729 --> 01:08:45.609

    you could be right. BJ

    1950

    01:08:45.609 --> 01:08:47.810

    Dixon, I'm expecting Cope and Cage to win this match

    1951

    01:08:47.810 --> 01:08:50.010

    leading to ladder wars match at double or nothing

    1952

    01:08:50.010 --> 01:08:52.290

    or maybe all in featuring the Bucs and maybe the

    1953

    01:08:52.290 --> 01:08:54.210

    Rascals. Damn, that's

    1954

    01:08:54.210 --> 01:08:56.210

    an interesting one. That's a really interesting

    1955

    01:08:56.210 --> 01:08:58.149

    prediction. BlairLine7 says

    1956

    01:08:58.149 --> 01:09:00.490

    Kenny is going into this match thinking he's facing

    1957

    01:09:01.109 --> 01:09:02.069

    2023 MJF.

    1958

    01:09:02.210 --> 01:09:04.090

    Yeah, it's like, it's

    1959

    01:09:04.090 --> 01:09:06.250

    almost like Kenny hasn't caught up to where AEW

    1960

    01:09:06.250 --> 01:09:07.609

    is in a certain way.

    1961

    01:09:07.970 --> 01:09:09.410

    By the way, he talks about Max.

    1962

    01:09:09.930 --> 01:09:11.490

    Fuck your mom a two times. Give me Kenneth

    1963

    01:09:12.130 --> 01:09:13.910

    Jemaraquai Omega to win and defend the

    1964

    01:09:13.910 --> 01:09:15.770

    belt against Will at all in.

    1965

    01:09:16.170 --> 01:09:18.290

    Okay, that is my preferred outcome as well.

    1966

    01:09:18.290 --> 01:09:20.510

    I would prefer it if Kenny

    1967

    01:09:20.510 --> 01:09:22.410

    won and Will and Kenny

    1968

    01:09:22.410 --> 01:09:24.470

    had the blow off match

    1969

    01:09:24.470 --> 01:09:26.670

    at all in.

    1970

    01:09:26.770 --> 01:09:28.790

    Now, if they were going to do that,

    1971

    01:09:29.050 --> 01:09:30.510

    one thing in favor

    1972

    01:09:30.510 --> 01:09:31.450

    of that happening

    1973

    01:09:32.130 --> 01:09:34.390

    is that they have sold like

    1974

    01:09:34.390 --> 01:09:36.990

    20,000 tickets, I believe, to

    1975

    01:09:36.990 --> 01:09:38.109

    all in so far

    1976

    01:09:38.109 --> 01:09:39.930

    and they need to sell a lot more.

    1977

    01:09:40.270 --> 01:09:42.270

    They definitely want to sell a lot more.

    1978

    01:09:42.689 --> 01:09:44.470

    And I think announcing Kenny versus

    1979

    01:09:44.470 --> 01:09:46.290

    Will in the main event

    1980

    01:09:46.290 --> 01:09:48.609

    as quickly as they possibly can would

    1981

    01:09:48.609 --> 01:09:50.569

    go a long way to helping sell

    1982

    01:09:50.569 --> 01:09:52.490

    some more tickets. Because if

    1983

    01:09:52.490 --> 01:09:54.670

    you're a British fan and you

    1984

    01:09:54.670 --> 01:09:56.350

    know that you're going to see Kenny Omega

    1985

    01:09:56.350 --> 01:09:58.530

    as the world champion defending against

    1986

    01:09:58.530 --> 01:10:00.290

    Will Ospreay live,

    1987

    01:10:00.790 --> 01:10:02.110

    that could be

    1988

    01:10:02.110 --> 01:10:04.050

    something that sells some tickets.

    1989

    01:10:04.690 --> 01:10:06.490

    MJF and Will have also already

    1990

    01:10:06.490 --> 01:10:08.350

    fought at an all in

    1991

    01:10:08.350 --> 01:10:10.530

    in England. So

    1992

    01:10:10.530 --> 01:10:12.430

    you know, and Will and MJF's already

    1993

    01:10:12.430 --> 01:10:14.390

    done the, you know, he was

    1994

    01:10:14.390 --> 01:10:16.050

    the American champion. Remember, he was

    1995

    01:10:16.050 --> 01:10:18.450

    the American champion and he was

    1996

    01:10:18.450 --> 01:10:20.890

    from America and he did the ugly American gimmick

    1997

    01:10:20.890 --> 01:10:22.510

    already at an all in.

    1998

    01:10:22.810 --> 01:10:24.510

    So I think that's the one

    1999

    01:10:24.510 --> 01:10:26.510

    thing that I see from the booking side that kind of

    2000

    01:10:26.510 --> 01:10:28.170

    speaks in favor of Kenny.

    2001

    01:10:29.490 --> 01:10:29.910

    But

    2002

    01:10:31.130 --> 01:10:32.570

    there is one thing

    2003

    01:10:32.570 --> 01:10:34.410

    that I think speaks against Kenny

    2004

    01:10:34.410 --> 01:10:35.190

    winning.

    2005

    01:10:36.710 --> 01:10:38.370

    Where the fuck is Swerve

    2006

    01:10:38.370 --> 01:10:40.390

    Strickland? He's been

    2007

    01:10:40.390 --> 01:10:42.450

    absent from the show since he lost to

    2008

    01:10:42.450 --> 01:10:44.470

    Kenny. And that sends

    2009

    01:10:44.470 --> 01:10:46.510

    a bit of a shiver through my

    2010

    01:10:46.510 --> 01:10:48.370

    spine. Like Swerve

    2011

    01:10:48.370 --> 01:10:50.250

    had pretty much vowed to destroy the

    2012

    01:10:50.250 --> 01:10:51.150

    elite, right?

    2013

    01:10:52.350 --> 01:10:53.470

    And now

    2014

    01:10:54.330 --> 01:10:56.490

    he hasn't destroyed Kenny and in fact

    2015

    01:10:56.490 --> 01:10:58.590

    he lost to Kenny. He lost clean to Kenny.

    2016

    01:10:59.910 --> 01:11:00.410

    There's that

    2017

    01:11:00.410 --> 01:11:01.130

    embassy towel.

    2018

    01:11:02.750 --> 01:11:04.430

    I have also

    2019

    01:11:04.430 --> 01:11:06.610

    realized Swerve would really benefit

    2020

    01:11:06.610 --> 01:11:08.730

    from the nuclear fucking heat

    2021

    01:11:08.730 --> 01:11:10.590

    he would get if he

    2022

    01:11:10.590 --> 01:11:12.070

    fucked Kenny over in Canada.

    2023

    01:11:13.370 --> 01:11:14.590

    And he could even say

    2024

    01:11:14.590 --> 01:11:16.510

    hey, the Bucs did it to me

    2025

    01:11:16.510 --> 01:11:17.850

    last year at Double or Nothing.

    2026

    01:11:18.370 --> 01:11:19.270

    He wouldn't be wrong.

    2027

    01:11:20.890 --> 01:11:22.610

    Or wait, that happened last

    2028

    01:11:22.610 --> 01:11:24.590

    year at Dynasty where the Bucs

    2029

    01:11:24.590 --> 01:11:25.530

    fucked him over.

    2030

    01:11:26.450 --> 01:11:28.590

    He could say, hey, your boys did it to me.

    2031

    01:11:28.950 --> 01:11:30.450

    The EVPs did it to me.

    2032

    01:11:32.500 --> 01:11:33.880

    So that is in the back of

    2033

    01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:34.760

    my mind, certainly.

    2034

    01:11:36.300 --> 01:11:37.900

    As a Kenny is my

    2035

    01:11:37.900 --> 01:11:39.380

    favorite wrestler of all time guy,

    2036

    01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:41.820

    I want to be in attendance when

    2037

    01:11:41.820 --> 01:11:43.540

    Kenny wins the World Championship.

    2038

    01:11:44.060 --> 01:11:45.280

    You know, I

    2039

    01:11:45.280 --> 01:11:47.640

    can't lie. That's my preferred

    2040

    01:11:47.640 --> 01:11:48.660

    fan outcome.

    2041

    01:11:50.060 --> 01:11:51.360

    Logic tells me

    2042

    01:11:52.020 --> 01:11:53.820

    I think MJF's got this

    2043

    01:11:53.820 --> 01:11:55.620

    unfortunately. And I'm going to go

    2044

    01:11:55.620 --> 01:11:57.500

    with wanting to be correct

    2045

    01:11:57.500 --> 01:11:59.660

    instead of voting with my heart, which I usually

    2046

    01:11:59.660 --> 01:12:01.640

    do, like an idiot. And that's

    2047

    01:12:01.640 --> 01:12:02.820

    a big reason I'm usually wrong.

    2048

    01:12:03.280 --> 01:12:05.120

    But I think MJF's going to win this match.

    2049

    01:12:05.500 --> 01:12:07.020

    I do think so.

    2050

    01:12:07.020 --> 01:12:09.440

    I think Kenny's underestimating him. I think Kenny

    2051

    01:12:09.440 --> 01:12:11.160

    sounded a little out of touch in that promo.

    2052

    01:12:12.440 --> 01:12:12.920

    However,

    2053

    01:12:13.900 --> 01:12:15.220

    one thing I will say is I

    2054

    01:12:15.220 --> 01:12:17.120

    have predicted a screw job

    2055

    01:12:17.120 --> 01:12:18.860

    ending to almost every main event

    2056

    01:12:18.860 --> 01:12:21.020

    at every pay-per-view that AEW's had over

    2057

    01:12:21.020 --> 01:12:23.080

    the last year. And they have had almost

    2058

    01:12:23.080 --> 01:12:25.240

    none. So

    2059

    01:12:25.240 --> 01:12:26.420

    I could be wrong.

    2060

    01:12:27.400 --> 01:12:29.100

    What AEW's done a very good job of

    2061

    01:12:29.100 --> 01:12:31.020

    doing is making me doubt

    2062

    01:12:31.020 --> 01:12:33.120

    myself, making me doubt the outcome of

    2063

    01:12:33.120 --> 01:12:35.040

    this match. Which for your main event,

    2064

    01:12:35.040 --> 01:12:36.500

    it shouldn't feel super predictable.

    2065

    01:12:37.100 --> 01:12:39.120

    The only thing that I wish they hadn't

    2066

    01:12:39.120 --> 01:12:41.380

    done is the whole MJF will give

    2067

    01:12:41.380 --> 01:12:42.980

    a world title shot to Darby

    2068

    01:12:42.980 --> 01:12:44.100

    if he loses.

    2069

    01:12:46.500 --> 01:12:47.300

    I'm sorry.

    2070

    01:12:47.680 --> 01:12:49.040

    We'll give a world title shot to Darby

    2071

    01:12:49.040 --> 01:12:50.580

    if Darby beats Andrade.

    2072

    01:12:52.890 --> 01:12:54.830

    So it's really, it's really hard.

    2073

    01:12:55.250 --> 01:12:56.610

    It's really hard. Because I

    2074

    01:12:56.610 --> 01:12:58.770

    feel like Swerve Strickland's been off TV

    2075

    01:12:58.770 --> 01:13:00.610

    gathering a fucking army

    2076

    01:13:01.330 --> 01:13:02.670

    to destroy Kenny

    2077

    01:13:02.670 --> 01:13:04.890

    Omega. But

    2078

    01:13:04.890 --> 01:13:07.050

    I think my point about like

    2079

    01:13:07.050 --> 01:13:09.150

    if Kenny's gonna win the world title, he's gonna win it

    2080

    01:13:09.150 --> 01:13:10.990

    right now so that they can build

    2081

    01:13:10.990 --> 01:13:13.170

    to him an osprey. Which was

    2082

    01:13:13.170 --> 01:13:15.330

    the preferred match for me at

    2083

    01:13:15.330 --> 01:13:17.130

    All In. What do y'all

    2084

    01:13:17.130 --> 01:13:19.150

    think? Scare Glow

    2085

    01:13:19.150 --> 01:13:21.070

    says Kenny might be leaning

    2086

    01:13:21.070 --> 01:13:22.170

    dark side, cleaner.

    2087

    01:13:23.310 --> 01:13:24.970

    Somebody else said that, and I didn't get

    2088

    01:13:24.970 --> 01:13:27.030

    that from his earlier promos, but in this

    2089

    01:13:27.030 --> 01:13:28.290

    last promo I kind of did.

    2090

    01:13:28.970 --> 01:13:30.870

    I kind of did. BJ Dixon, I

    2091

    01:13:30.870 --> 01:13:32.930

    would love to see Kenny win, however I feel like with

    2092

    01:13:32.930 --> 01:13:35.130

    MJF being as giving as he's been during

    2093

    01:13:35.130 --> 01:13:36.970

    this title reign, I don't see a world

    2094

    01:13:36.970 --> 01:13:39.410

    where MJF loses either. It's hard, right?

    2095

    01:13:39.790 --> 01:13:41.330

    This was really hard.

    2096

    01:13:42.370 --> 01:13:42.850

    Antoine

    2097

    01:13:42.850 --> 01:13:44.990

    says Swerve, and he's got the

    2098

    01:13:44.990 --> 01:13:46.390

    smiley face you just want.

    2099

    01:13:46.910 --> 01:13:48.890

    Man, you just want to

    2100

    01:13:48.890 --> 01:13:50.210

    rain on my parade, friend.

    2101

    01:13:52.130 --> 01:13:53.130

    Swerve spent a month

    2102

    01:13:53.130 --> 01:13:54.850

    hitting a punching bag with Omega's face

    2103

    01:13:54.850 --> 01:13:56.370

    stapled to it. I agree, Blarry Line.

    2104

    01:13:56.730 --> 01:13:58.910

    I think he has. While Nana dancing

    2105

    01:13:58.910 --> 01:14:00.770

    in a circle around him, obviously. Yes.

    2106

    01:14:00.770 --> 01:14:02.830

    I agree. If

    2107

    01:14:02.830 --> 01:14:04.850

    the embassy is going to show, I think it would be, this

    2108

    01:14:04.850 --> 01:14:05.910

    would be the time to do it.

    2109

    01:14:06.710 --> 01:14:08.750

    Scare Glow, but what if Hangman shows up to defend

    2110

    01:14:08.750 --> 01:14:10.910

    Kenny against Swerve and Kenny takes out MJF?

    2111

    01:14:12.710 --> 01:14:14.550

    That's also highly possible.

    2112

    01:14:15.130 --> 01:14:16.930

    Who knows? Jesus Christ, who knows?

    2113

    01:14:17.350 --> 01:14:18.870

    And look, you could sell tickets

    2114

    01:14:18.870 --> 01:14:20.790

    to Swerve versus Hangman.

    2115

    01:14:21.090 --> 01:14:22.870

    Okay, like that would sell some tickets.

    2116

    01:14:23.230 --> 01:14:24.770

    You'd have to make it pretty crazy,

    2117

    01:14:24.790 --> 01:14:27.110

    but you could do it.

    2118

    01:14:27.250 --> 01:14:28.970

    Blarry Line 7, I think it would be

    2119

    01:14:28.970 --> 01:14:30.810

    a bit of a mistake to have MJF and

    2120

    01:14:30.810 --> 01:14:32.730

    Hangman's title prospects clean

    2121

    01:14:32.730 --> 01:14:35.030

    and then lose to Kenny immediately

    2122

    01:14:35.030 --> 01:14:36.290

    after. That's bad business.

    2123

    01:14:36.930 --> 01:14:39.010

    I mean, I thought Hangman losing was bad

    2124

    01:14:39.010 --> 01:14:40.290

    business and then he lost.

    2125

    01:14:42.860 --> 01:14:44.620

    You're right, though. That's a good point,

    2126

    01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:46.840

    Blarry Line. Good point. I still think

    2127

    01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:48.740

    MJF has the odds. I'm trying to tuck

    2128

    01:14:48.740 --> 01:14:50.420

    myself into believing Kenny's going to win.

    2129

    01:14:51.500 --> 01:14:52.500

    But I think you might be right.

    2130

    01:14:52.860 --> 01:14:54.480

    Blarry Line 7, he's permanently damaged

    2131

    01:14:54.480 --> 01:14:56.720

    Hangman's career. You need him to go on a run after

    2132

    01:14:56.720 --> 01:14:57.340

    that.

    2133

    01:14:57.940 --> 01:14:59.760

    Ugh. God damn you all

    2134

    01:14:59.760 --> 01:15:01.220

    and your relentless logic.

    2135

    01:15:02.160 --> 01:15:03.080

    I want the cleaner to win.

    2136

    01:15:04.120 --> 01:15:05.580

    But I think it's going to be a

    2137

    01:15:05.580 --> 01:15:07.320

    great show. Overall, I'm excited.

    2138

    01:15:07.440 --> 01:15:09.420

    I will say the build for at least half

    2139

    01:15:09.420 --> 01:15:11.080

    the card has been kind of nonexistent.

    2140

    01:15:11.680 --> 01:15:13.280

    And like I said, I do think that

    2141

    01:15:13.280 --> 01:15:15.620

    Tony usually has 12 or 13 matches

    2142

    01:15:15.620 --> 01:15:17.400

    on a pay-per-view night. And so

    2143

    01:15:17.400 --> 01:15:19.280

    I think we have eight or nine announced.

    2144

    01:15:19.800 --> 01:15:21.400

    Let me see. We have one, two,

    2145

    01:15:21.420 --> 01:15:23.440

    three, four, five,

    2146

    01:15:23.440 --> 01:15:25.840

    six, seven, eight, nine,

    2147

    01:15:25.840 --> 01:15:28.220

    ten. Ten with

    2148

    01:15:28.220 --> 01:15:30.040

    the pre-show. So I think we'll get probably

    2149

    01:15:30.040 --> 01:15:32.080

    a couple more. And they should be

    2150

    01:15:32.080 --> 01:15:33.840

    women's matches. Tony Khan.

    2151

    01:15:36.480 --> 01:15:38.700

    Women's matches. Do it.

    2152

    01:15:39.480 --> 01:15:39.820

    Anyway,

    2153

    01:15:40.020 --> 01:15:42.040

    that's it for me. My voice is kind of fucked.

    2154

    01:15:42.320 --> 01:15:43.760

    I'm going to be at Dynasty

    2155

    01:15:44.260 --> 01:15:45.960

    on Sunday. If any of you

    2156

    01:15:45.960 --> 01:15:47.980

    in the chat or any of you

    2157

    01:15:48.460 --> 01:15:49.940

    listening to this later are going

    2158

    01:15:49.940 --> 01:15:51.880

    to be there. Send an email to sit down,

    2159

    01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:53.680

    shut up, mark out at gmail.com.

    2160

    01:15:53.680 --> 01:15:55.960

    Let me know where you're going to be. Let's figure out

    2161

    01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:58.100

    a time to say hello. Take a pic together.

    2162

    01:15:58.280 --> 01:15:59.780

    I would love to. Scareglow. I know

    2163

    01:15:59.780 --> 01:16:01.780

    you're going to be there. Love to meet you

    2164

    01:16:01.780 --> 01:16:03.820

    and your wife. But no

    2165

    01:16:03.820 --> 01:16:05.860

    pressure. No pressure either. But

    2166

    01:16:05.860 --> 01:16:07.320

    it would be great to

    2167

    01:16:07.760 --> 01:16:09.660

    meet some of y'all in real life.

    2168

    01:16:10.160 --> 01:16:12.160

    It's been a lot of fun. Thank you all for the great chat.

    2169

    01:16:12.660 --> 01:16:13.880

    Make sure you're subscribed to
