Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out! Ep. 96
“For As Long As I Live”: Hangman’s Line in the Sand, Swerve’s Descent, and Revolution on the Brink
In this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams dig into one of the most polarizing promos in recent AEW memory. Hangman Page drew a hard, almost mythic line when he told MJF that if he doesn’t beat him at AEW Revolution, he’ll never challenge for the AEW Men's World Championship again—“for as long as I live.” Blade and Books break down why the internet is split on the moment, what it says about Hangman’s character arc, and whether wrestling fans still have patience for high-stakes, long-term storytelling in the age of instant reaction.
The conversation then turns dark and violent as they unpack Swerve Strickland’s shocking victory over Kenny Omega and the brutal heel turn that followed—an escalation that may permanently reshape AEW’s main-event landscape. From there, they preview the announced matches for AEW Revolution, speculate on possible surprises, and welcome a special appearance from Joshi G! It’s a wide-ranging, opinionated episode about consequences, cruelty, and a pay-per-view that feels ready to explode.

1
00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:02.880
Sicko's Club.
2
00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:07.500
Hey, come here.
3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:09.220
You like pro wrestling?
4
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:11.600
We got a little sum-sum for you.
5
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:14.280
Two fans, 3,000 miles away.
6
00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:17.180
We each been watching for more than 30 years.
7
00:00:17.620 --> 00:00:18.880
Celebrate the art form.
8
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:22.680
The homo-eroticism.
9
00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:24.400
We hate great matches.
10
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:26.380
We hate analyzing stories.
11
00:00:27.020 --> 00:00:27.900
We hate experts.
12
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.660
We just sit down,
13
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:31.760
shut up,
14
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:32.840
and mark.
15
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.500
Everybody, and welcome to another edition of Sit Down.
16
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:44.240
Shut up, mark out.
17
00:00:44.260 --> 00:00:45.820
As always, I'm your host,
18
00:00:46.220 --> 00:00:48.720
Lay Daily, joined once again
19
00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:50.080
by my special friend,
20
00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:51.560
my special guest host,
21
00:00:52.060 --> 00:00:53.720
the guest host with the most,
22
00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:55.840
Books and Body Slams Books.
23
00:00:56.140 --> 00:00:57.420
Hello, how are you?
24
00:00:57.940 --> 00:00:59.840
Hello, I'm good. It's Friday.
25
00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:02.440
It's not Friday as the people hear this.
26
00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:03.900
Not Friday as the people hear this.
27
00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:04.540
No, it's not.
28
00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:05.120
It's real-life.
29
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:09.200
But it's Friday right now.
30
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:10.580
Yes, it's currently Friday.
31
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.020
As we tape this, it is Friday.
32
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:14.780
And Books, how was your week?
33
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:16.520
Anything notable?
34
00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:17.280
Anything new?
35
00:01:19.100 --> 00:01:20.980
Besides AEW making me choose
36
00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:22.060
between my boyfriends?
37
00:01:22.940 --> 00:01:23.720
Yeah, besides that.
38
00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:28.300
No. I still haven't forgiven
39
00:01:28.300 --> 00:01:30.440
Tony Khan and AEW for making me do that.
40
00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:32.120
My husband made me choose
41
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:33.120
between my boyfriends.
42
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.040
That's fucked up.
43
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:37.860
I mean, the whole thing is fucked up.
44
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:40.740
It sounds like it would be
45
00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:42.140
on Sister Wives.
46
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.320
Is that right?
47
00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:45.800
But Sister Husbands.
48
00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:47.120
Brother Husbands.
49
00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:49.180
Brother Husbands, yes.
50
00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:51.360
I like Sister Husbands, actually.
51
00:01:51.580 --> 00:01:52.720
I think that's a nice title.
52
00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:55.080
Let's do it.
53
00:01:55.940 --> 00:01:56.940
Well, that's good.
54
00:01:57.940 --> 00:01:58.700
Thanks for asking.
55
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:01.260
I've had a great week.
56
00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:02.300
You didn't give me a chance.
57
00:02:02.740 --> 00:02:03.860
It's been really good
58
00:02:03.860 --> 00:02:06.120
and very notable
59
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.100
in the respect that nothing happened at all.
60
00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:10.820
I've actually been sitting in this seat
61
00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:12.180
since the last time we recorded.
62
00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:14.400
Oh, wow.
63
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:15.920
It's been pleasant.
64
00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:19.220
I mean, there's been a few down times
65
00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:20.760
where I've been a little bored and stuff,
66
00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:22.180
but
67
00:02:23.940 --> 00:02:25.100
yeah, okay.
68
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:27.040
Well,
69
00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:27.920
Books,
70
00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:29.620
you know, it was really funny.
71
00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:30.980
Before we started today,
72
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:32.840
I told you, hey,
73
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.940
I already did an entire show about it,
74
00:02:35.940 --> 00:02:38.420
but I want to know your thoughts
75
00:02:38.420 --> 00:02:40.680
about AEW Grand Slam Australia
76
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:41.600
thinking
77
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.140
that I was going to be like
78
00:02:44.140 --> 00:02:46.060
a hero because you had said
79
00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:47.820
off air last time before
80
00:02:47.820 --> 00:02:48.620
we did the show.
81
00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:50.660
You were so excited to talk about Grand Slam Australia.
82
00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:52.420
You were like, oh great, yeah, I'll be back next week.
83
00:02:52.660 --> 00:02:54.000
We'll be able to talk about it.
84
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.820
And then when I brought it up today, you're like,
85
00:02:55.820 --> 00:02:56.700
I don't even remember.
86
00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:59.960
I don't remember it. Oh, I remember some stuff.
87
00:03:00.380 --> 00:03:02.300
But like, I can barely remember
88
00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:03.560
what I ate for dinner last night.
89
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.600
I don't know why I was like, oh yeah,
90
00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:07.300
I'll remember Grand Slam.
91
00:03:07.820 --> 00:03:10.240
I can't even speak Grand Slam.
92
00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:11.820
You're doing great.
93
00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:13.840
You're killing it. You're doing great.
94
00:03:15.140 --> 00:03:16.520
The one thing I do remember
95
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.340
and I want to shout out
96
00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:20.080
AEW because, you know, there were a lot of
97
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:21.920
rumors going into Grand Slam
98
00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:23.940
about a certain wrestler being
99
00:03:23.940 --> 00:03:26.220
sidelined, even though that was not true.
100
00:03:27.260 --> 00:03:28.040
And people are still
101
00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:29.700
trying to say it's true
102
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.320
online for some
103
00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:33.560
odd fucking reason.
104
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.860
It was pre-taped.
105
00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:37.100
We all heard
106
00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:40.400
that there was a, you know,
107
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:41.960
fuck that freezing
108
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.680
water thing.
109
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.240
I'm shadowbanned. I'm going to use
110
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:46.920
code words.
111
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.000
Fuck ice. I'll say it.
112
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.140
You can say I'm not.
113
00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:53.800
I'm shadowbanned right now.
114
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.780
Fuck that freezing cold liquid
115
00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:58.380
that is in the shape of blocks
116
00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:00.280
that you put into your drink
117
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.160
to make it cold.
118
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:03.720
So there was a fuck ice jam.
119
00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:06.060
And I was really
120
00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:07.960
worried because when I turned on
121
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.160
Grand Slam, it seemed like the crowd was
122
00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:10.500
muted.
123
00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:13.860
And that just gave me really bad
124
00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:16.079
and probably why I had a hard time focusing
125
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.120
on it because I was like, oh god,
126
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:19.760
these rumors are going to be...
127
00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:21.399
I was defending Warner Brothers.
128
00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:23.680
People made me defend Warner Brothers Discovery,
129
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:25.940
which I'm mad at everyone for making me
130
00:04:25.940 --> 00:04:26.420
do that.
131
00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:28.840
Don't make us do that.
132
00:04:29.500 --> 00:04:30.740
Don't make me do that.
133
00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:33.460
I'm like, oh god,
134
00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:35.140
I was fucking defending this company.
135
00:04:36.140 --> 00:04:37.660
And then we get to
136
00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:39.020
the MJF Brody King match.
137
00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:41.860
Brody King was not
138
00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:43.760
going to win as much as I wanted him to win.
139
00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:46.160
But I already knew the results
140
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.620
because I looked it up.
141
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:56.300
I knew
142
00:04:57.020 --> 00:04:58.800
what was going to happen.
143
00:04:59.640 --> 00:05:01.200
And we're at the
144
00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:02.740
Brody King's entrance.
145
00:05:02.780 --> 00:05:05.300
And we cut to commercial. I was like, oh motherfuckers.
146
00:05:06.340 --> 00:05:07.300
I'm going to have to take
147
00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:08.640
this back. I'm going to be so pissed.
148
00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:10.600
I'm going to be so pissed I defended them.
149
00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:12.680
And then they cut back
150
00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:15.120
from commercial and they start
151
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.000
the fuck ice chant.
152
00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:17.960
It was not muted.
153
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.100
You knew very well what the crowd was saying.
154
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.480
I was so
155
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.980
fucking proud of A.W.
156
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.280
and Warner Brothers Discovery for not
157
00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:28.080
doing what I thought they were going to do.
158
00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:30.740
You know, it's been interesting
159
00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.920
because they will censor
160
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.360
so much less than that
161
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:35.780
and then not censor that.
162
00:05:36.580 --> 00:05:38.220
So in the aftermath
163
00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:40.240
on Dynamite this week, they showed
164
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.060
the aftermath of the match with
165
00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:44.060
Brody and Bandido
166
00:05:44.640 --> 00:05:45.940
and basically it's Brody
167
00:05:45.940 --> 00:05:47.660
saying, hey, I'm not going to let one loss
168
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:49.760
tear me down.
169
00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:51.640
I'm going to get back in contention
170
00:05:51.640 --> 00:05:52.880
starting next week.
171
00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:56.560
And the chant started during his pre-tape.
172
00:05:57.080 --> 00:05:58.240
It's wild.
173
00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:00.200
So yeah, if there was any
174
00:06:00.200 --> 00:06:02.040
truth to that, if there was any truth to it
175
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.200
at all, he just wouldn't be on the show at all.
176
00:06:04.200 --> 00:06:05.920
Zero. He wouldn't appear.
177
00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:07.420
Because they know what's going to happen.
178
00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:09.780
At this point, they know putting him on
179
00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:11.000
is going to lead to this.
180
00:06:12.460 --> 00:06:13.700
So I think
181
00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:15.940
we can fully say this rumor has been
182
00:06:15.940 --> 00:06:16.420
squashed.
183
00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:19.400
If I see one more person post about it,
184
00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:21.800
I might just block you on
185
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:22.880
just principle.
186
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.080
Chill out, guys.
187
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:29.500
It's almost like
188
00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:31.840
not at all possible that that's the case.
189
00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:33.980
Because if it was the case,
190
00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:35.040
they'd be doing it all wrong.
191
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.060
I liked the show a lot.
192
00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:39.120
I thought it was a little
193
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.420
just a little strange
194
00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.020
because they did two title changes
195
00:06:43.020 --> 00:06:44.400
on Dynamite.
196
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.400
No title changes on this show.
197
00:06:46.760 --> 00:06:48.900
It was all advancing stories.
198
00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:52.960
the only thing that I felt was maybe
199
00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:55.000
a missed opportunity was Mega Bad
200
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.440
losing because I thought
201
00:06:58.780 --> 00:06:59.900
Harley's Australian.
202
00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:01.080
But with Willow
203
00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:03.100
also being the TBS champion, this would have been a
204
00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:04.780
great time to
205
00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:05.860
a great time.
206
00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:08.900
Pass the belts off to a full time
207
00:07:08.900 --> 00:07:09.680
tag team.
208
00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:12.200
It was cool.
209
00:07:12.700 --> 00:07:14.380
It was still a very good match.
210
00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:16.260
Everybody worked really well.
211
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.060
But I thought
212
00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:20.800
as we talked about last week
213
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.820
having the double title thing on Willow
214
00:07:23.580 --> 00:07:25.260
I hate it.
215
00:07:25.940 --> 00:07:26.360
Yeah.
216
00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:28.780
It seemed like a good opportunity
217
00:07:28.780 --> 00:07:30.340
to maybe ditch that.
218
00:07:31.260 --> 00:07:32.760
They didn't do it.
219
00:07:33.780 --> 00:07:35.380
This was probably
220
00:07:35.380 --> 00:07:37.780
the most disappointed I've been
221
00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:40.080
in things that happened
222
00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:41.900
where it doesn't usually bother me that much
223
00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:43.180
and it's just because
224
00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:45.260
I was like
225
00:07:45.260 --> 00:07:46.600
I hate double champions.
226
00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:48.900
I'm very curious about
227
00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:50.780
so obviously we know something else happened
228
00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:52.940
after Grand Slam and that was
229
00:07:52.940 --> 00:07:54.880
the Iconics making
230
00:07:54.880 --> 00:07:56.980
an announcement that they were all
231
00:07:56.980 --> 00:07:57.520
elite.
232
00:07:57.620 --> 00:07:59.940
Would love to see them come in and maybe
233
00:07:59.940 --> 00:08:02.220
maybe that's why Megabad
234
00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:02.880
didn't win.
235
00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:06.280
I think putting the belts on the Iconics
236
00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:07.700
in tag teams
237
00:08:07.700 --> 00:08:10.040
is probably smarter because they are
238
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.240
an established
239
00:08:12.200 --> 00:08:13.740
true tag team
240
00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:16.020
that have a history
241
00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:17.780
and they'd be the first people
242
00:08:17.780 --> 00:08:19.340
to win
243
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:22.120
major
244
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:23.220
titles in each.
245
00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:26.040
Well, Mercedes
246
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.600
has too but you know to
247
00:08:29.540 --> 00:08:29.980
like
248
00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:32.159
would have won the same consecutive
249
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.480
title like they've had TNA, WWE
250
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.880
and AEW tag teams.
251
00:08:36.780 --> 00:08:38.480
Yeah, no and I think yes
252
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.480
so they've won tag titles in TNA
253
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.320
they've won tag titles in WWE
254
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.420
and if they were to win in AEW
255
00:08:44.420 --> 00:08:46.060
they would be the only team who's ever done that.
256
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.140
So that would be pretty cool.
257
00:08:48.300 --> 00:08:49.780
That would be pretty cool. I think
258
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.200
I'm starting to understand why they did the
259
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:53.880
house rules thing with them because they didn't
260
00:08:53.880 --> 00:08:55.400
show up on Dynamite this week.
261
00:08:55.400 --> 00:08:57.640
So it's like maybe they're not
262
00:08:57.640 --> 00:08:59.620
available right away or maybe they don't have
263
00:08:59.620 --> 00:09:01.080
a plan until after the pay per view
264
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.920
so why would they debut them on TV
265
00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:05.500
until they were totally ready?
266
00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:07.800
So I think for
267
00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:09.520
the hometown crowd that does make a little
268
00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:10.260
more sense.
269
00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:12.580
Yeah, I thought it did too.
270
00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:15.540
I don't have really an issue with them not
271
00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:17.720
appearing on the house show.
272
00:09:18.060 --> 00:09:19.440
Like they're an Australian tag team
273
00:09:19.900 --> 00:09:21.400
we now know they're all elite
274
00:09:21.400 --> 00:09:23.560
we don't have to worry and now it's just going to be the fun
275
00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:25.500
of when they come on.
276
00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:27.200
Which I think will be revolution.
277
00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.320
Yeah probably
278
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.340
or sometime shortly thereafter
279
00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:33.080
it'll be one or the other.
280
00:09:47.410 --> 00:09:49.930
Books, we all know why we're here.
281
00:09:52.570 --> 00:09:53.990
We have a great debate
282
00:09:53.990 --> 00:09:55.950
that we have to have here and
283
00:09:56.530 --> 00:09:58.610
it saddens me that it's come to this.
284
00:09:59.370 --> 00:09:59.910
But
285
00:09:59.910 --> 00:10:01.770
we gotta do it.
286
00:10:02.850 --> 00:10:03.980
The question is
287
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:06.760
look at you stretching
288
00:10:06.760 --> 00:10:08.200
like you're going to beat the shit out of me.
289
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:08.560
I'm ready.
290
00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:11.920
I've been practicing my right hooks.
291
00:10:12.680 --> 00:10:14.030
The question is did Hangman
292
00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:16.000
Chodey Rhodes himself?
293
00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:18.300
And the reason we're
294
00:10:18.300 --> 00:10:20.020
asking this question is because on Dynamite
295
00:10:20.020 --> 00:10:22.180
this week, Hangman
296
00:10:22.180 --> 00:10:24.120
and MJF had what I considered really
297
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.660
a fantastic promo segment.
298
00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:28.160
It was very good, very heated from both sides.
299
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:30.260
These two clearly like working together.
300
00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:32.320
Max is
301
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.640
really growing as a promo without the
302
00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:36.580
kind of dumb stereotypical stuff
303
00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:38.480
that he had leaned too hard on before.
304
00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:42.460
And I really loved Hangman refusing to
305
00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:44.480
pander as a baby face. I love when he goes
306
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.000
as much as you hate me, Max,
307
00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:47.900
I hate you so much more.
308
00:10:49.420 --> 00:10:50.720
It feels like he's retained
309
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.580
some of that harder edge that he got
310
00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:54.360
in the lead up to the
311
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.500
with the Death Riders and stuff
312
00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:58.360
that he gained with Swerve.
313
00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:00.440
He tells MJF he hates him
314
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.460
just as much as Max hates him, but not for
315
00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:04.260
the reasons that MJF said, you know,
316
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.100
the acclaim, being the star of the company,
317
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.460
whatever. He hates MJF
318
00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:10.040
because they're just alike.
319
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.480
Hanger was screwed out of his
320
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.540
title and it feels like
321
00:11:14.540 --> 00:11:16.380
the shift in his character
322
00:11:16.380 --> 00:11:17.840
is I need that title.
323
00:11:18.400 --> 00:11:19.560
That's my title.
324
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.620
He's realized that he's a little gold hungry.
325
00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:24.780
And it's
326
00:11:24.780 --> 00:11:26.780
a little wrinkle in the otherwise
327
00:11:26.780 --> 00:11:28.540
very noble Hangman character,
328
00:11:28.540 --> 00:11:31.000
right? This is his weakness.
329
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:32.020
He needs that belt.
330
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:34.860
And he wasn't open like this
331
00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:36.660
before, but I like it. I like it a lot.
332
00:11:36.660 --> 00:11:38.580
And I like the dichotomy of
333
00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:40.300
Hanger comparing himself to MJF
334
00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:42.180
and hating himself for it, you know?
335
00:11:42.660 --> 00:11:44.700
But he kind of hates MJF because they're alike.
336
00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:46.260
So
337
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.640
then he says he wants
338
00:11:48.640 --> 00:11:51.000
something more than a regular match against MJF.
339
00:11:51.860 --> 00:11:52.900
I immediately thought
340
00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:54.740
Texas Death, right? That's his match.
341
00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.760
He says he knows MJF
342
00:11:56.760 --> 00:11:58.780
won't do it and MJF's like, yeah,
343
00:11:58.780 --> 00:12:00.420
you're right. If you think you're getting anything besides
344
00:12:00.420 --> 00:12:02.740
just a normal ass match, you're wrong.
345
00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:04.760
So Hangman
346
00:12:04.760 --> 00:12:06.380
says, I'll make it interesting.
347
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.100
I'll give you something if you give me this.
348
00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:10.780
And I see Book's face
349
00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:13.240
right now and it's not happening.
350
00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:17.020
So Hangman says if he loses
351
00:12:17.020 --> 00:12:18.940
at Revolution, he'll never
352
00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:21.100
challenge for the AEW Men's
353
00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:22.200
World title
354
00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:24.760
as long as he lives
355
00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:28.140
with zero
356
00:12:28.140 --> 00:12:29.120
qualification.
357
00:12:29.420 --> 00:12:31.160
Okay, he said as long as
358
00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:31.880
I live.
359
00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:35.740
The outcry on socials was
360
00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:37.120
immediate and
361
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.300
largely negative.
362
00:12:39.660 --> 00:12:40.940
People immediately
363
00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:42.920
compare this to Cody because
364
00:12:42.920 --> 00:12:44.880
he did the same thing with Jericho in the
365
00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:46.420
very beginning of AEW and lost.
366
00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:48.940
And the people who didn't
367
00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:50.860
hate it and then whined about it
368
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:52.940
whined about it for fucking
369
00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:54.800
he's still whining about it.
370
00:12:55.160 --> 00:12:57.040
He is still whining about it. That's true.
371
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.780
Oh my god.
372
00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:01.000
But the people who didn't hate
373
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.220
it thought Hangman would lose and turn
374
00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:05.440
heel later by renouncing
375
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.720
the stipulation and saying fuck it.
376
00:13:06.940 --> 00:13:08.700
I still want it, you know.
377
00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:11.240
We're still waiting on Cody Rhodes to do that.
378
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:12.860
Yeah, well, right.
379
00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:15.020
Because that was that was a lot of what people
380
00:13:15.020 --> 00:13:17.080
thought Cody Rhodes was eventually going to do
381
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.560
would be to turn heel
382
00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:20.900
as the crowd was turning on him
383
00:13:20.900 --> 00:13:22.720
that he would turn heel and be like, you know what?
384
00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:24.380
Fuck it. I want the world title.
385
00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:26.760
And instead he is like, I don't want to be a bad guy
386
00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:28.220
and he left. So
387
00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:31.400
you hated this.
388
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.140
Can you please describe for the people
389
00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:36.380
why you hate it?
390
00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:38.280
And listen, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna say
391
00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:39.820
I don't need logic right now.
392
00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:42.380
I have fully gone logic
393
00:13:42.380 --> 00:13:44.480
on this and have already figured
394
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.400
out how they could
395
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.740
unfuck themselves up with this.
396
00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:50.280
That does not change the fact
397
00:13:50.280 --> 00:13:52.180
that this was fucking stupid.
398
00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:56.300
And it's stupid
399
00:13:57.180 --> 00:13:59.100
because it's already been done or is it?
400
00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:01.140
It's already been done and was
401
00:14:01.140 --> 00:14:03.140
done poorly. We all
402
00:14:03.140 --> 00:14:04.580
know what happened with Cody Rhodes.
403
00:14:05.260 --> 00:14:07.060
He did this, wouldn't turn heel
404
00:14:07.060 --> 00:14:09.120
fucking is still whining about it to this
405
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.960
day acting like, oh, I
406
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.460
couldn't.
407
00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:14.780
So I had to finish the story.
408
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.040
Oh, give me a fucking break. You booked yourself into this
409
00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:18.800
nonsense. It was definitely
410
00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:20.960
something he did personally because
411
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:23.040
I mean, I don't think Tony Khan
412
00:14:23.040 --> 00:14:25.000
wanted to do this when
413
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.240
it happened originally. And now
414
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.040
another member of the
415
00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:31.180
elite is doing
416
00:14:31.180 --> 00:14:33.180
the exact same thing
417
00:14:33.180 --> 00:14:35.300
for what fucking reason?
418
00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:37.140
Other like what? To
419
00:14:37.140 --> 00:14:39.100
maybe prove, oh, look, we learned how
420
00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:41.020
to book this. Either you've given
421
00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:43.220
away the fucking match
422
00:14:45.230 --> 00:14:47.810
or you fucking wrote yourself
423
00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:49.430
into a god awful story.
424
00:14:49.870 --> 00:14:51.550
And I'm not harsh on
425
00:14:51.550 --> 00:14:53.450
AEW. We all know I'm very much give them
426
00:14:53.450 --> 00:14:55.190
a chance. Not with this.
427
00:14:55.410 --> 00:14:57.010
Not with this. I'm sorry.
428
00:14:57.450 --> 00:14:59.390
You do not have the good grace with me
429
00:14:59.390 --> 00:15:00.410
right now.
430
00:15:02.370 --> 00:15:03.810
Let's talk about that.
431
00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:05.690
So you said earlier
432
00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:07.430
before we went live that
433
00:15:07.430 --> 00:15:09.110
they don't really have your trust right now.
434
00:15:09.110 --> 00:15:11.450
I think I want to understand
435
00:15:11.450 --> 00:15:13.350
that a little better. Why don't they have your trust
436
00:15:13.350 --> 00:15:13.910
right now?
437
00:15:14.950 --> 00:15:17.450
We've only really seen this one time in AEW
438
00:15:17.450 --> 00:15:19.310
and it was such an epic fail.
439
00:15:20.290 --> 00:15:21.250
And I
440
00:15:21.730 --> 00:15:23.450
don't know if that was on
441
00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:24.730
AEW and not
442
00:15:25.210 --> 00:15:27.450
Cody, but they could have pushed
443
00:15:27.450 --> 00:15:29.510
Cody to be like, all right, if you really
444
00:15:29.510 --> 00:15:30.810
want this, this is the way out.
445
00:15:31.430 --> 00:15:32.750
I don't know if they were just
446
00:15:33.370 --> 00:15:35.350
pleasing Cody. Either way
447
00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:37.630
we have seen how this turns out.
448
00:15:38.010 --> 00:15:39.250
And it never
449
00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:40.230
ends well.
450
00:15:41.750 --> 00:15:43.730
And I would love for
451
00:15:43.730 --> 00:15:45.530
Cody Rhodes, not Cody Rhodes,
452
00:15:45.810 --> 00:15:46.930
hanging it on a page to go to Kenny.
453
00:15:46.930 --> 00:15:48.970
Yo, I fucked up.
454
00:15:49.970 --> 00:15:51.030
Use your EVP
455
00:15:51.030 --> 00:15:53.030
powers. There are a thousand ways that they
456
00:15:53.030 --> 00:15:54.650
can get out of this.
457
00:15:56.350 --> 00:15:56.830
But
458
00:15:56.830 --> 00:15:59.010
there's no faith because of what
459
00:15:59.010 --> 00:15:59.810
happened with Cody.
460
00:16:00.550 --> 00:16:02.730
Let's examine that for a minute.
461
00:16:03.510 --> 00:16:05.010
Why don't want to be rational?
462
00:16:06.230 --> 00:16:07.610
Well, you don't have to be
463
00:16:07.610 --> 00:16:09.030
rational. I'll
464
00:16:09.030 --> 00:16:10.990
do that and you can just tell me I'm full of shit.
465
00:16:12.010 --> 00:16:12.910
You'll be the little
466
00:16:12.910 --> 00:16:14.970
angel and
467
00:16:14.970 --> 00:16:15.890
you're the devil.
468
00:16:17.150 --> 00:16:18.190
Spicy books,
469
00:16:19.030 --> 00:16:20.830
angelic blade. Nobody believes in
470
00:16:20.830 --> 00:16:23.170
angelic blade, but I do exist.
471
00:16:23.990 --> 00:16:24.970
My thought is, so what
472
00:16:24.970 --> 00:16:27.010
I saw online was like people going, this is
473
00:16:27.010 --> 00:16:28.990
stupid. It's just like Cody,
474
00:16:29.190 --> 00:16:30.950
right? Or
475
00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:33.290
they were going this
476
00:16:33.290 --> 00:16:34.890
you know, hang man can turn heel and renounce
477
00:16:34.890 --> 00:16:35.890
the step, right?
478
00:16:36.770 --> 00:16:38.890
And my thing is I don't want him
479
00:16:38.890 --> 00:16:40.670
to turn heel because
480
00:16:40.670 --> 00:16:42.970
he was just a heel like a short
481
00:16:42.970 --> 00:16:44.250
time ago, right?
482
00:16:44.910 --> 00:16:45.730
So like
483
00:16:46.550 --> 00:16:49.250
I mean, he was never like a full on committed
484
00:16:49.250 --> 00:16:50.790
heel, but he behaved like a heel,
485
00:16:50.790 --> 00:16:52.270
you know, for a year.
486
00:16:52.270 --> 00:16:54.230
It wasn't a short period of time.
487
00:16:55.490 --> 00:16:56.970
Yeah, he burned someone's house to the
488
00:16:56.970 --> 00:16:58.390
ground. So it was just
489
00:16:59.070 --> 00:17:00.610
it was very recently,
490
00:17:00.610 --> 00:17:03.150
so him going back to that
491
00:17:03.150 --> 00:17:04.349
just kind of out of nowhere
492
00:17:05.690 --> 00:17:07.290
that I don't think that's
493
00:17:07.290 --> 00:17:09.109
the key. And I also think it would
494
00:17:09.109 --> 00:17:10.970
probably actually be bad
495
00:17:10.970 --> 00:17:12.730
for AEW's business
496
00:17:13.550 --> 00:17:15.270
to have it so that hang man
497
00:17:15.270 --> 00:17:16.750
couldn't challenge
498
00:17:16.750 --> 00:17:18.849
for the title ever again.
499
00:17:19.230 --> 00:17:21.210
I think that would legitimately
500
00:17:21.210 --> 00:17:22.990
hurt their business. He's proven
501
00:17:22.990 --> 00:17:24.970
he's a draw. He's proven
502
00:17:24.970 --> 00:17:27.089
that people tune in when he's on TV.
503
00:17:27.849 --> 00:17:29.090
You know, he's always called the
504
00:17:29.090 --> 00:17:31.190
main character of AEW. I just can't see
505
00:17:31.190 --> 00:17:33.150
a world in which hang
506
00:17:33.150 --> 00:17:35.110
man can't challenge for
507
00:17:35.110 --> 00:17:37.250
the title even for a short period of time
508
00:17:37.250 --> 00:17:38.110
because I think
509
00:17:38.110 --> 00:17:40.130
So now they've given away the match?
510
00:17:41.910 --> 00:17:43.210
No, I mean, but
511
00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:44.710
I think he's stupid.
512
00:17:45.430 --> 00:17:47.370
But it's all contingent on the idea
513
00:17:47.370 --> 00:17:49.510
that you think he could lose.
514
00:17:51.470 --> 00:17:53.190
See, but I don't think he's going to lose
515
00:17:53.190 --> 00:17:55.450
now. I don't think he's going to lose.
516
00:17:55.970 --> 00:17:57.310
But maybe
517
00:17:57.310 --> 00:17:59.190
they have a plan that I'm not aware of
518
00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:01.130
because I've been wrong about everything that I say
519
00:18:01.130 --> 00:18:02.810
about AEW.
520
00:18:04.170 --> 00:18:05.430
I'm wrong about everything.
521
00:18:06.390 --> 00:18:07.330
So my only
522
00:18:07.330 --> 00:18:09.570
touch of hope is that this means
523
00:18:09.570 --> 00:18:11.690
if Hangman wins, it means
524
00:18:11.690 --> 00:18:13.430
Kenny can get fucking revenge on
525
00:18:13.430 --> 00:18:15.450
Hangman and kick
526
00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:17.530
Hangman's ass and
527
00:18:17.530 --> 00:18:19.390
take back his championship from
528
00:18:19.390 --> 00:18:20.990
the person he lost it to.
529
00:18:22.090 --> 00:18:23.430
The theory was that Cody did
530
00:18:23.430 --> 00:18:25.390
it as an FU to the people who said he was
531
00:18:26.710 --> 00:18:27.230
politicking.
532
00:18:27.490 --> 00:18:29.570
The easiest way out is for Hangman to win.
533
00:18:29.650 --> 00:18:31.390
I said to Blade on threads, I use
534
00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:33.810
my government name over there. We need short
535
00:18:33.810 --> 00:18:35.270
title reigns. Totally
536
00:18:35.270 --> 00:18:36.550
agree. Totally agree.
537
00:18:37.190 --> 00:18:38.170
Yes, we do.
538
00:18:38.450 --> 00:18:40.550
That's something I've been very loud about
539
00:18:40.550 --> 00:18:41.770
recently. Yes.
540
00:18:41.890 --> 00:18:42.770
Now, this is the thing.
541
00:18:42.870 --> 00:18:44.510
So multi-class geek makes my point
542
00:18:44.510 --> 00:18:46.430
for me here. Win or lose, the near falls
543
00:18:46.430 --> 00:18:48.530
in that match are going to be maximum clench.
544
00:18:48.990 --> 00:18:50.590
Like you're going to be on the edge of your fucking
545
00:18:50.590 --> 00:18:51.050
seat.
546
00:18:52.430 --> 00:18:53.630
It's going to be amazing.
547
00:18:54.470 --> 00:18:56.350
But I just want to bitch about it because
548
00:18:56.350 --> 00:18:57.110
it's stupid.
549
00:18:58.610 --> 00:19:00.450
It's well within your rights to bitch about
550
00:19:00.450 --> 00:19:02.330
it. But at the end of
551
00:19:02.330 --> 00:19:03.610
the day, like
552
00:19:04.370 --> 00:19:05.910
they they've already proven
553
00:19:06.550 --> 00:19:08.150
that people lose this
554
00:19:08.150 --> 00:19:10.030
match, you know, with this stipulation,
555
00:19:10.030 --> 00:19:11.710
they've already proven that it'll happen.
556
00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:14.130
I think in hindsight, they probably
557
00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:15.350
see it as a mistake.
558
00:19:16.590 --> 00:19:17.930
You know, it's kind of universally
559
00:19:17.930 --> 00:19:19.050
hailed as a mistake.
560
00:19:19.790 --> 00:19:21.990
And I don't think Tony Khan
561
00:19:21.990 --> 00:19:23.750
seven years later is going to make
562
00:19:23.750 --> 00:19:24.990
the same mistake twice.
563
00:19:25.790 --> 00:19:28.130
You know, so
564
00:19:28.130 --> 00:19:29.830
yeah, they could like
565
00:19:29.830 --> 00:19:31.830
you forget I have a line to Tony
566
00:19:31.830 --> 00:19:32.870
Khan and him.
567
00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:35.010
I spoke and he's like, people
568
00:19:35.010 --> 00:19:36.090
forgot about that.
569
00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:37.590
I'm like, no, we have it.
570
00:19:39.790 --> 00:19:41.070
Yes. Yes.
571
00:19:41.070 --> 00:19:42.030
Your husband, Tony Khan.
572
00:19:42.270 --> 00:19:44.030
So I think Hangman more
573
00:19:44.030 --> 00:19:45.610
than likely is going to win.
574
00:19:46.190 --> 00:19:48.010
I don't know what
575
00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:50.210
that means for
576
00:19:50.850 --> 00:19:51.410
MJF.
577
00:19:51.730 --> 00:19:53.930
I'm not sure if MJF is going to leave for a
578
00:19:53.930 --> 00:19:55.550
while or what
579
00:19:55.550 --> 00:19:57.710
so that, you know, if I knew he had
580
00:19:57.710 --> 00:19:59.950
something to go to, it would
581
00:19:59.950 --> 00:20:02.250
be like dead obvious what he's going to do.
582
00:20:03.290 --> 00:20:05.670
So like, here's my issue is that he
583
00:20:05.670 --> 00:20:07.070
when he took his little break,
584
00:20:08.210 --> 00:20:09.990
he made it clear when he comes back,
585
00:20:10.110 --> 00:20:11.410
he's back for a while.
586
00:20:11.970 --> 00:20:12.810
Right, right.
587
00:20:13.790 --> 00:20:15.790
And two, three months is not a
588
00:20:15.790 --> 00:20:16.170
while.
589
00:20:16.930 --> 00:20:17.870
No, that's true.
590
00:20:18.550 --> 00:20:20.370
Unless Mrs. MJF, not the belt,
591
00:20:20.410 --> 00:20:22.470
not the triple B is actually making him go on a
592
00:20:22.470 --> 00:20:22.810
honeymoon.
593
00:20:23.650 --> 00:20:24.890
Oh, well, could be.
594
00:20:25.210 --> 00:20:26.770
I think I think ultimately
595
00:20:26.770 --> 00:20:29.330
you know, as multi-class geek said,
596
00:20:29.550 --> 00:20:30.810
I think that there is
597
00:20:32.090 --> 00:20:33.450
a legitimate need
598
00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:35.450
for AEW to have shorter title reigns.
599
00:20:35.450 --> 00:20:36.910
You know, it became kind of institutional
600
00:20:37.770 --> 00:20:39.350
that title reigns, if you're the world
601
00:20:39.350 --> 00:20:41.570
champion, like the minimum is like
602
00:20:41.570 --> 00:20:43.190
Samoa Joe's, I think, was the shortest
603
00:20:43.190 --> 00:20:45.170
reign before his last
604
00:20:45.170 --> 00:20:47.070
reign. And he held it for like
605
00:20:47.070 --> 00:20:47.970
three or four months.
606
00:20:49.170 --> 00:20:50.930
Anywhere else, that's a decent title
607
00:20:50.930 --> 00:20:52.970
reign. Like three or four months is not a bad
608
00:20:52.970 --> 00:20:54.650
title reign anywhere else, you know?
609
00:20:54.650 --> 00:20:56.210
And so I think
610
00:20:57.010 --> 00:20:58.850
this expectation that people have or somebody
611
00:20:58.850 --> 00:21:00.890
has to hold it for eight or nine or 12 months
612
00:21:00.890 --> 00:21:03.010
or something, that's not realistic.
613
00:21:03.010 --> 00:21:04.630
You've got a stacked roster.
614
00:21:04.770 --> 00:21:06.150
You've got a stacked main event.
615
00:21:06.470 --> 00:21:09.130
You've got Kyle Fletcher, who they're clearly
616
00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:10.770
going to pull the trigger on
617
00:21:10.770 --> 00:21:12.390
sooner than later. You've got
618
00:21:12.390 --> 00:21:14.750
Kenosuke Takeshita. You've got
619
00:21:14.750 --> 00:21:16.690
Bandido. You've got Brody King.
620
00:21:17.090 --> 00:21:18.770
You know, how are those guys ever going to
621
00:21:18.770 --> 00:21:20.590
hold the title if everybody's holding it for a year
622
00:21:20.590 --> 00:21:22.390
at a time, you know?
623
00:21:22.390 --> 00:21:24.130
There's no way.
624
00:21:24.590 --> 00:21:25.330
There's no way.
625
00:21:25.750 --> 00:21:28.510
I would have liked to see, if
626
00:21:28.510 --> 00:21:30.230
MJF was going to drop it, I would rather
627
00:21:30.230 --> 00:21:32.270
have seen it gone to like put it on
628
00:21:32.270 --> 00:21:34.090
Brody King while he's so over.
629
00:21:35.190 --> 00:21:36.430
Not to Hangman a month
630
00:21:36.430 --> 00:21:36.990
later.
631
00:21:38.030 --> 00:21:40.390
Well, and I think that there's a case to be made
632
00:21:40.390 --> 00:21:42.370
for Hangman, or
633
00:21:42.370 --> 00:21:43.950
not for Hangman, sorry, for Brody.
634
00:21:44.810 --> 00:21:46.430
I think there's a case to be made of
635
00:21:46.430 --> 00:21:48.670
like, OK, you're really over right now.
636
00:21:50.190 --> 00:21:52.310
Can you stay over to this degree?
637
00:21:52.590 --> 00:21:53.250
If you can,
638
00:21:54.330 --> 00:21:55.510
if you can,
639
00:21:56.310 --> 00:21:57.490
we will belt you up.
640
00:21:57.990 --> 00:21:59.970
I think that's what they did with Swerve.
641
00:22:00.370 --> 00:22:01.870
They gave him
642
00:22:01.870 --> 00:22:03.810
quite a bit of tether to see if the crowd
643
00:22:03.810 --> 00:22:05.910
would stay into him to the degree
644
00:22:05.910 --> 00:22:07.910
that they were. It wasn't just the
645
00:22:07.910 --> 00:22:09.850
Na Na dance. It wasn't just one
646
00:22:09.850 --> 00:22:11.830
thing that people were latching onto. It wasn't a
647
00:22:11.830 --> 00:22:13.730
fad. It was Swerve.
648
00:22:13.930 --> 00:22:15.870
It was legit Swerve, right?
649
00:22:15.890 --> 00:22:17.250
And I think with Brody,
650
00:22:17.250 --> 00:22:19.550
that's what I would do if I was Tony. I would make him
651
00:22:19.550 --> 00:22:21.450
prove it. Like, can you stay this
652
00:22:21.450 --> 00:22:21.710
over?
653
00:22:23.190 --> 00:22:25.410
I also have my weird theory that he would make a better
654
00:22:25.410 --> 00:22:27.290
national champion and send
655
00:22:27.290 --> 00:22:29.370
him to the other promotions
656
00:22:29.370 --> 00:22:31.410
because what a great face for the company.
657
00:22:31.530 --> 00:22:33.390
What a great global face for
658
00:22:33.390 --> 00:22:34.750
the company right now.
659
00:22:35.250 --> 00:22:37.230
Yeah, yeah. So I think
660
00:22:37.230 --> 00:22:39.270
the likelihood is that Hanger's
661
00:22:39.270 --> 00:22:41.430
going to win. If he
662
00:22:41.430 --> 00:22:43.470
doesn't, that definitely creates
663
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:45.490
some kind of
664
00:22:45.490 --> 00:22:47.870
crazy situation. I also think
665
00:22:48.410 --> 00:22:49.970
depending on how he loses,
666
00:22:50.030 --> 00:22:50.910
if he did,
667
00:22:51.610 --> 00:22:53.570
you know, does Swerve screw him over?
668
00:22:54.250 --> 00:22:55.450
Does, you know, there's
669
00:22:55.450 --> 00:22:57.450
a lot of things that could get introduced.
670
00:22:58.570 --> 00:22:59.590
I'm just saying Swerve
671
00:22:59.590 --> 00:23:01.110
has made it very clear where he stands.
672
00:23:01.890 --> 00:23:03.750
Yes, he has. So I do think he's going to
673
00:23:03.750 --> 00:23:05.610
turn on
674
00:23:05.610 --> 00:23:07.690
Hangman. Swerve stands with Swerve.
675
00:23:07.850 --> 00:23:09.670
That is definitely the case.
676
00:23:09.670 --> 00:23:10.330
Yeah, he made that.
677
00:23:11.230 --> 00:23:13.710
Very clear. Very clear. And it was all
678
00:23:13.710 --> 00:23:15.570
on one episode of Dynamite.
679
00:23:16.570 --> 00:23:17.890
One episode. I now have
680
00:23:17.890 --> 00:23:19.730
the issue where it, because
681
00:23:19.730 --> 00:23:21.830
it seems obvious that they're not going to do this
682
00:23:21.830 --> 00:23:23.730
with, they're not going to turn
683
00:23:23.730 --> 00:23:25.010
Hangman Heal just yet.
684
00:23:26.150 --> 00:23:27.630
They are going to have him win.
685
00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:29.630
It just, I don't
686
00:23:29.630 --> 00:23:31.790
listen, I love when I can guess the storylines
687
00:23:31.790 --> 00:23:33.010
and I get things quick.
688
00:23:33.810 --> 00:23:35.310
And I can guess correctly.
689
00:23:35.510 --> 00:23:37.470
I don't like when it's obvious.
690
00:23:38.210 --> 00:23:39.230
Which makes me think
691
00:23:39.230 --> 00:23:41.210
they might actually Swerve us.
692
00:23:41.870 --> 00:23:43.410
And that worries me.
693
00:23:45.650 --> 00:23:46.210
So...
694
00:23:46.210 --> 00:23:47.290
If they have a story
695
00:23:47.290 --> 00:23:49.430
that makes sense, that goes around all of this
696
00:23:49.430 --> 00:23:51.190
I don't really, like you were saying
697
00:23:51.190 --> 00:23:53.570
I don't really care about the outcomes all that much
698
00:23:53.570 --> 00:23:55.350
as long as the people I like
699
00:23:55.350 --> 00:23:57.430
are on TV and in interesting
700
00:23:57.430 --> 00:23:59.350
things, right? So like
701
00:23:59.350 --> 00:24:01.350
I don't really, I really
702
00:24:01.350 --> 00:24:03.150
don't want Hangman to lose.
703
00:24:04.250 --> 00:24:05.230
You know, having
704
00:24:05.230 --> 00:24:07.130
that's too much like Cody
705
00:24:07.130 --> 00:24:09.490
just in general. But they knew
706
00:24:09.490 --> 00:24:12.170
that this was going to elicit a strong reaction.
707
00:24:13.050 --> 00:24:13.550
I will just
708
00:24:13.550 --> 00:24:15.430
remind everybody
709
00:24:15.430 --> 00:24:17.690
when the bucks cost Swerve against Moxley
710
00:24:17.690 --> 00:24:19.730
last year, there was a huge outcry.
711
00:24:19.870 --> 00:24:21.090
Like how could you do this?
712
00:24:22.070 --> 00:24:23.310
It was fine. You know?
713
00:24:23.350 --> 00:24:25.190
They had somewhere they were going with it all.
714
00:24:26.130 --> 00:24:27.610
And I could go on and on
715
00:24:27.610 --> 00:24:29.450
and on. There was the Copeland match with
716
00:24:29.450 --> 00:24:31.970
Mox that wasn't that good at Revolution last year.
717
00:24:32.430 --> 00:24:33.650
And people didn't
718
00:24:33.650 --> 00:24:34.410
like that either.
719
00:24:35.970 --> 00:24:37.550
But I'm going to give Tony
720
00:24:38.130 --> 00:24:40.070
some leeway here, because I think
721
00:24:40.070 --> 00:24:42.290
there is room
722
00:24:42.290 --> 00:24:43.650
to tell a cool story here.
723
00:24:44.850 --> 00:24:45.770
Especially now that
724
00:24:45.770 --> 00:24:47.670
Swerve is no longer a baby face, which
725
00:24:47.670 --> 00:24:49.750
we will talk about later.
726
00:24:49.770 --> 00:24:51.690
I just can't because I'm mad at him for
727
00:24:51.690 --> 00:24:53.550
other things. So this was just
728
00:24:54.510 --> 00:24:55.910
sprinkles on top of everything
729
00:24:55.910 --> 00:24:57.430
else I'm mad at Tony for.
730
00:24:57.830 --> 00:24:59.650
Wow. Wow. Do you want to talk about
731
00:24:59.650 --> 00:25:00.950
what else you're mad at him about?
732
00:25:01.790 --> 00:25:02.870
I mean, or is this a personal issue?
733
00:25:02.890 --> 00:25:04.510
Or do you want to wait until we talk about it?
734
00:25:04.510 --> 00:25:05.990
Okay. All right. All right.
735
00:25:06.250 --> 00:25:07.910
I can hold it in.
736
00:25:18.190 --> 00:25:20.550
Thunderosa is back. Thunderosa is back.
737
00:25:21.410 --> 00:25:22.370
She is back.
738
00:25:22.750 --> 00:25:24.190
She was on TV this week.
739
00:25:24.550 --> 00:25:26.510
Statlander was standing with her.
740
00:25:27.170 --> 00:25:28.830
And Statlander very interestingly
741
00:25:28.830 --> 00:25:30.230
said she won't be cleared
742
00:25:30.230 --> 00:25:31.910
for one to two weeks.
743
00:25:32.550 --> 00:25:34.410
Which is like, are you fucking kidding me?
744
00:25:34.470 --> 00:25:35.410
Like, you know when you're going to be cleared?
745
00:25:35.410 --> 00:25:38.370
It's not a long time. But why are we announcing that?
746
00:25:38.370 --> 00:25:40.550
Like, well, I didn't.
747
00:25:40.870 --> 00:25:41.650
Thank you.
748
00:25:42.310 --> 00:25:44.030
It's because she's not really hurt.
749
00:25:44.510 --> 00:25:46.510
So you don't
750
00:25:46.510 --> 00:25:48.390
get injured and then
751
00:25:48.390 --> 00:25:50.530
you know exactly when you're going to get cleared.
752
00:25:51.310 --> 00:25:52.390
So she says
753
00:25:52.390 --> 00:25:54.170
she can't wrestle right now.
754
00:25:54.750 --> 00:25:56.710
So Thunderosa says, well, I'm back.
755
00:25:57.490 --> 00:25:58.610
And I can wrestle.
756
00:25:58.650 --> 00:26:00.660
And I'm calling out Tecla next week.
757
00:26:01.730 --> 00:26:02.630
And so
758
00:26:02.630 --> 00:26:04.410
Tecla is going to wrestle
759
00:26:04.410 --> 00:26:06.370
Thunderosa I believe on Dynamite.
760
00:26:07.210 --> 00:26:08.610
That's a fucking
761
00:26:08.610 --> 00:26:10.510
cool match that I'm excited to see.
762
00:26:10.630 --> 00:26:12.650
And I do think this furthers my perspective
763
00:26:13.330 --> 00:26:14.590
that Stat and Tecla
764
00:26:14.590 --> 00:26:16.290
are probably going to have another match
765
00:26:16.290 --> 00:26:17.550
at Revolution.
766
00:26:18.590 --> 00:26:20.610
Because I noticed Stat said, I'm
767
00:26:20.610 --> 00:26:21.450
looking for a fight.
768
00:26:22.690 --> 00:26:24.550
You know, when I get back, I'm looking for a fight.
769
00:26:24.650 --> 00:26:26.310
She named Tecla specifically.
770
00:26:26.870 --> 00:26:28.610
And it sounds like this is
771
00:26:28.610 --> 00:26:30.570
laying the groundwork for a third match
772
00:26:30.570 --> 00:26:32.710
between the two with a really
773
00:26:32.710 --> 00:26:34.290
unhinged stipulation of some type.
774
00:26:34.290 --> 00:26:35.710
Cage match, something.
775
00:26:35.750 --> 00:26:36.350
I can't wait.
776
00:26:38.310 --> 00:26:40.370
I can't wait because those two
777
00:26:40.370 --> 00:26:42.310
are magic in the ring. I'm very excited
778
00:26:42.310 --> 00:26:44.090
to see Thunder with Tecla.
779
00:26:44.770 --> 00:26:46.330
Because I think it's going to be an interesting dynamic
780
00:26:46.330 --> 00:26:49.750
because they both have a
781
00:26:51.230 --> 00:26:52.270
strong moveset.
782
00:26:53.990 --> 00:26:55.870
so it's going to be very
783
00:26:55.870 --> 00:26:56.250
fun.
784
00:26:57.470 --> 00:26:59.530
But I just really want Stat
785
00:26:59.530 --> 00:27:00.530
first.
786
00:27:01.490 --> 00:27:02.010
Yeah.
787
00:27:02.010 --> 00:27:02.890
Yeah.
788
00:27:04.270 --> 00:27:06.010
Well, I want, I want
789
00:27:06.570 --> 00:27:08.150
Tecla to have some kind of
790
00:27:08.150 --> 00:27:10.050
reign, you know, where it's not like
791
00:27:10.050 --> 00:27:11.450
a three week title reign or something.
792
00:27:11.870 --> 00:27:14.130
But yeah, but
793
00:27:14.130 --> 00:27:15.590
she might lose at Revolution. I mean,
794
00:27:15.790 --> 00:27:18.030
I think it's going to be Stat and
795
00:27:18.030 --> 00:27:19.570
Tecla again at Revolution.
796
00:27:20.450 --> 00:27:21.650
I highly suspect that will be.
797
00:27:22.090 --> 00:27:23.210
And I'm okay.
798
00:27:23.530 --> 00:27:25.950
I think because
799
00:27:25.950 --> 00:27:27.950
what I think is going to happen when Mercedes
800
00:27:27.950 --> 00:27:30.050
comes back, they are going to put
801
00:27:30.050 --> 00:27:31.790
the title on her for a little bit.
802
00:27:32.050 --> 00:27:34.150
So right now have more flexibility
803
00:27:34.150 --> 00:27:35.870
with the championship and it means
804
00:27:35.870 --> 00:27:37.770
going back and forth.
805
00:27:38.370 --> 00:27:40.330
And I think Mercedes
806
00:27:40.330 --> 00:27:42.470
being Stat, beating Stat
807
00:27:42.470 --> 00:27:44.270
for the women's world
808
00:27:44.270 --> 00:27:46.210
is a better story because there
809
00:27:47.310 --> 00:27:47.930
is
810
00:27:47.930 --> 00:27:50.530
that kind of grudge in history there.
811
00:27:53.820 --> 00:27:55.460
Or Athena appears and
812
00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:57.100
beats.
813
00:27:58.460 --> 00:27:59.660
There's a lot of possibilities.
814
00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:01.900
And she's the ROH women's champion
815
00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:03.660
and she never loses either belt ever.
816
00:28:05.280 --> 00:28:05.520
Ever.
817
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:06.920
So I do.
818
00:28:07.560 --> 00:28:09.840
That's kind of like my only
819
00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:11.860
concern is whereas we are
820
00:28:11.860 --> 00:28:14.080
seeing like more fluidity with the
821
00:28:14.080 --> 00:28:15.580
championships right now, Mercedes
822
00:28:15.580 --> 00:28:18.080
is going to come back and they're going to
823
00:28:18.080 --> 00:28:19.920
belt her for a while as the women's world.
824
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:21.680
I think
825
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.960
it's like an all in thing for Mercedes
826
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:25.800
though. I feel like, I think it's
827
00:28:26.340 --> 00:28:27.780
I think it's definitely going to
828
00:28:27.780 --> 00:28:30.000
feel like Mercedes
829
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:31.720
is going to tell a story leading up that
830
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:33.020
she can't win the big one.
831
00:28:33.760 --> 00:28:35.860
I can see Tekla being the champion
832
00:28:35.860 --> 00:28:37.120
that she takes it off of.
833
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:39.880
And Mercedes kind of ends up becoming a baby
834
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:41.280
face through telling this story.
835
00:28:41.760 --> 00:28:44.020
My theory had always been she would lose
836
00:28:44.020 --> 00:28:44.860
a baby face.
837
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:47.480
Yeah, she would lose the TBS title.
838
00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:49.780
And then, you know,
839
00:28:49.820 --> 00:28:51.680
once she lost all those other belts,
840
00:28:52.260 --> 00:28:53.760
she'd like tell the story of like,
841
00:28:53.860 --> 00:28:55.220
well, there's only one belt.
842
00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:57.340
There's one belt bigger than all those
843
00:28:57.340 --> 00:28:58.420
belts combined, right?
844
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.260
And that's the belt she can't win.
845
00:29:01.340 --> 00:29:03.500
And she has to defeat that narrative.
846
00:29:04.280 --> 00:29:05.240
It makes that belt seem
847
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.460
more meaningful that Mercedes
848
00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:09.220
hasn't won it, you know, and
849
00:29:10.080 --> 00:29:11.280
so I think, I think
850
00:29:11.280 --> 00:29:13.340
she'll probably be, that'll be an all
851
00:29:13.340 --> 00:29:15.240
in story, I think, leading
852
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:17.220
into it. It's definitely going to be all in. They're going to put it on
853
00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:19.580
their biggest stage,
854
00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:20.780
which is all in.
855
00:29:21.620 --> 00:29:23.440
Multi-class geek says swerve screws
856
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.580
MJF so he can brutalize Hangman
857
00:29:25.580 --> 00:29:27.600
and get the title at the same time.
858
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:29.520
I like that.
859
00:29:29.580 --> 00:29:31.380
That could be true. That could be true.
860
00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:32.920
That could be very, very true.
861
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.420
There's a lot of, there's a lot of routes
862
00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:37.540
they can go with, with that program. And I
863
00:29:37.540 --> 00:29:39.620
just, as long as they know where they're
864
00:29:39.620 --> 00:29:41.480
going with it, and I
865
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:43.520
trust that they do because AEW has
866
00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:45.560
had a very good track record of that
867
00:29:45.560 --> 00:29:47.600
the last, I would say, year
868
00:29:47.600 --> 00:29:49.180
and a half, for sure.
869
00:29:49.860 --> 00:29:51.440
Valid, valid. Yeah.
870
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.500
They've been doing a good job with it. So
871
00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:55.560
yeah, I'm happy Thunder Rosa's back. I think
872
00:29:55.560 --> 00:29:57.240
Tekla's going to beat her.
873
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.400
And she's a great opponent for Tekla
874
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:01.320
to beat. You know, that's, that's a nice
875
00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:03.080
feather in the cap. And then I think Stat
876
00:30:03.080 --> 00:30:05.520
is going to challenge in some kind
877
00:30:05.520 --> 00:30:07.660
of crazy stipulation match at
878
00:30:07.660 --> 00:30:09.520
Revolution. That's my thought.
879
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:11.340
Who knows? Who knows?
880
00:30:11.560 --> 00:30:13.480
No, I'm right there with you. That's kind of where I went with
881
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:14.280
this, too.
882
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:17.260
When I said like a cage match, like
883
00:30:17.260 --> 00:30:19.440
putting them in a cage together is going to be
884
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:19.920
insane.
885
00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:22.900
So let me ask you this, Books.
886
00:30:23.300 --> 00:30:24.560
You like Kevin Knight, right?
887
00:30:27.330 --> 00:30:29.230
Yeah, he's alright. He's cool.
888
00:30:30.590 --> 00:30:31.650
Who doesn't like Kevin
889
00:30:31.650 --> 00:30:33.470
Knight? If you don't like Kevin Knight, you're nuts.
890
00:30:34.550 --> 00:30:35.430
He's fantastic.
891
00:30:35.450 --> 00:30:37.610
Yeah, and he's obviously on his
892
00:30:37.610 --> 00:30:39.590
way to becoming a major star for AEW.
893
00:30:39.890 --> 00:30:41.450
As he should. He literally
894
00:30:41.450 --> 00:30:43.690
can fly. Like, do you see
895
00:30:43.690 --> 00:30:45.710
him go off the top rope? The man
896
00:30:45.710 --> 00:30:47.710
flies. He doesn't jump.
897
00:30:47.870 --> 00:30:48.890
He flies.
898
00:30:48.890 --> 00:30:50.790
I'm obsessed.
899
00:30:52.550 --> 00:30:53.210
And he beat
900
00:30:53.210 --> 00:30:55.150
Beastmortos in a really,
901
00:30:55.150 --> 00:30:56.930
really fun Dynamite match this week.
902
00:30:57.310 --> 00:30:59.250
I mean, this week's show, match
903
00:30:59.250 --> 00:31:00.810
quality-wise, was just insane,
904
00:31:00.810 --> 00:31:03.050
right? But
905
00:31:03.050 --> 00:31:05.070
my question is, isn't he a trios champ?
906
00:31:05.830 --> 00:31:07.030
Yes. And isn't he in
907
00:31:07.030 --> 00:31:09.190
a tag team? Yes.
908
00:31:09.510 --> 00:31:11.010
And isn't Hangman
909
00:31:11.010 --> 00:31:12.850
also a trio champ with them?
910
00:31:12.850 --> 00:31:13.430
Yes.
911
00:31:15.050 --> 00:31:16.890
And Hanger's wrestling MJF
912
00:31:16.890 --> 00:31:18.890
in a singles match in the main event of a revolution?
913
00:31:23.130 --> 00:31:24.930
Does it not feel like TK is kind
914
00:31:24.930 --> 00:31:27.150
of leaning into the multi-champs
915
00:31:28.390 --> 00:31:29.430
way hard
916
00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:31.210
in a way that he
917
00:31:31.210 --> 00:31:32.530
never really has before?
918
00:31:33.350 --> 00:31:34.790
He's on my shit list for this.
919
00:31:35.590 --> 00:31:37.170
I am, I hate
920
00:31:37.170 --> 00:31:38.270
multi-champs.
921
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.460
And he is leaning too hard into
922
00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:44.600
it when there is way too much talent.
923
00:31:45.540 --> 00:31:46.560
And I understand
924
00:31:46.560 --> 00:31:48.860
putting Kevin Knight
925
00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:50.500
and Mike Bailey and
926
00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:52.580
Hangman as a trio was a quick swerve
927
00:31:52.580 --> 00:31:54.900
because they
928
00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:56.560
literally found out
929
00:31:57.780 --> 00:31:58.420
like
930
00:31:58.420 --> 00:32:00.660
at the same time we all did
931
00:32:00.660 --> 00:32:02.180
that Bauer House Hobbs was not
932
00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.980
resigning.
933
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:05.680
Right, right.
934
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.340
So, but I mean,
935
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:10.440
I also don't want to see the demand win
936
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:11.460
because
937
00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:14.700
even though the national championship
938
00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:16.080
is a little different
939
00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:19.000
and how it should be defended,
940
00:32:19.780 --> 00:32:21.180
I just, I don't love it.
941
00:32:23.270 --> 00:32:24.090
I think
942
00:32:24.090 --> 00:32:26.390
the trios titles are just rudderless
943
00:32:26.390 --> 00:32:28.250
titles. And it feels
944
00:32:29.510 --> 00:32:30.030
like
945
00:32:30.730 --> 00:32:32.190
yeah, I think
946
00:32:32.190 --> 00:32:34.190
they had the best of intentions with them.
947
00:32:34.330 --> 00:32:36.050
But this was also when AEW
948
00:32:36.050 --> 00:32:38.030
was a little more faction heavy that those were
949
00:32:38.030 --> 00:32:39.210
introduced, you know?
950
00:32:40.510 --> 00:32:42.150
When you look at the lineage too
951
00:32:42.150 --> 00:32:44.170
of the trios championship, I don't think it was
952
00:32:44.170 --> 00:32:46.250
meant to be treated
953
00:32:46.250 --> 00:32:46.990
like this.
954
00:32:47.910 --> 00:32:50.370
Yeah, they were more faction heavy when these were introduced.
955
00:32:50.530 --> 00:32:51.930
You know, you had Death Triangle, you had
956
00:32:51.930 --> 00:32:54.250
the Elite, you had, you know, kind of
957
00:32:54.250 --> 00:32:55.790
more dedicated trios
958
00:32:55.790 --> 00:32:57.950
than they do now. And, you know,
959
00:32:57.990 --> 00:33:00.130
the ops were fine, but they barely ever
960
00:33:00.130 --> 00:33:02.130
defended those bells maybe a couple times.
961
00:33:02.370 --> 00:33:04.050
You know, they held them for a long time, but they
962
00:33:04.050 --> 00:33:05.730
barely defended them. So,
963
00:33:05.850 --> 00:33:08.170
I think the problem, you know, we touched on this
964
00:33:08.170 --> 00:33:09.530
and we're going to touch on it again
965
00:33:10.430 --> 00:33:11.690
with all of this.
966
00:33:11.690 --> 00:33:13.750
You know, it's not that I have such a problem with
967
00:33:13.750 --> 00:33:15.970
people being multi-champs, but
968
00:33:16.930 --> 00:33:17.810
if you
969
00:33:17.810 --> 00:33:19.910
have the trios titles
970
00:33:20.610 --> 00:33:21.710
and you're in a tag
971
00:33:21.710 --> 00:33:23.590
team and you're a singles wrestler
972
00:33:24.450 --> 00:33:25.690
and one of your wrestlers
973
00:33:25.690 --> 00:33:27.690
is wrestling in the main event, you know for sure the
974
00:33:27.690 --> 00:33:29.790
trios titles aren't being defended on the pay-per-view,
975
00:33:30.130 --> 00:33:31.730
right? And who would
976
00:33:31.730 --> 00:33:33.930
they even be defended against, right?
977
00:33:34.490 --> 00:33:35.930
Because it's not the demand,
978
00:33:36.190 --> 00:33:38.010
because Ricochet has to defend the national
979
00:33:38.010 --> 00:33:39.750
title, right? Yeah.
980
00:33:39.750 --> 00:33:41.990
See, this is why we need like the
981
00:33:41.990 --> 00:33:43.330
we need Jay White back,
982
00:33:43.790 --> 00:33:45.890
or put it on some of the members
983
00:33:45.890 --> 00:33:47.510
of the Death Riders.
984
00:33:47.990 --> 00:33:49.810
I agree. I agree. Right now
985
00:33:49.810 --> 00:33:51.850
they feel kind of like weird rando titles that's held
986
00:33:51.850 --> 00:33:53.990
by rando combinations and kind of defended
987
00:33:53.990 --> 00:33:55.870
win-evs, you know? They keep having
988
00:33:55.870 --> 00:33:57.750
to rebuild the trios,
989
00:33:57.930 --> 00:33:59.410
which annoys me.
990
00:34:00.070 --> 00:34:01.850
We've been in multiple phases of rebuilding
991
00:34:01.850 --> 00:34:03.750
with the trios division and
992
00:34:04.590 --> 00:34:06.130
retire it for a little bit.
993
00:34:07.190 --> 00:34:07.910
Yeah, or
994
00:34:08.469 --> 00:34:10.510
just make it clear. These titles get
995
00:34:10.510 --> 00:34:12.190
defended a lot, but passed around a lot,
996
00:34:12.270 --> 00:34:13.550
you know? I mean, that's fine too.
997
00:34:14.510 --> 00:34:14.830
Yeah.
998
00:34:16.150 --> 00:34:18.110
So the demand, like we said, challenged
999
00:34:18.110 --> 00:34:20.070
them for the belts on collision,
1000
00:34:20.489 --> 00:34:22.190
which is great, except
1001
00:34:22.190 --> 00:34:24.110
Ricochet is already the national
1002
00:34:24.110 --> 00:34:25.969
champ, so it just feels like a lot of champions
1003
00:34:25.969 --> 00:34:27.989
are being pulled kind of in too many
1004
00:34:27.989 --> 00:34:30.110
directions. And like
1005
00:34:30.110 --> 00:34:31.949
we talked about last week, it's worse
1006
00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:34.090
for the women that Willow is
1007
00:34:34.090 --> 00:34:35.949
a tag champ and the TBS champ,
1008
00:34:35.949 --> 00:34:38.449
because it feels like either
1009
00:34:38.449 --> 00:34:40.550
the tag titles or the TBS
1010
00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:42.330
title is not going to be defended at
1011
00:34:42.330 --> 00:34:43.949
Revolution, and I think that sucks.
1012
00:34:44.510 --> 00:34:46.170
The women have tag titles
1013
00:34:46.170 --> 00:34:48.330
in two total singles titles, and
1014
00:34:48.330 --> 00:34:49.530
Willow holds two of them.
1015
00:34:50.409 --> 00:34:52.270
So I love her, I
1016
00:34:52.270 --> 00:34:54.409
just wish Tony Khan could
1017
00:34:54.409 --> 00:34:56.370
maximize the opportunities for women on the
1018
00:34:56.370 --> 00:34:58.270
show, and this feels like he's not doing
1019
00:34:58.270 --> 00:35:00.250
it yet. I have an idea.
1020
00:35:01.870 --> 00:35:04.590
I have an idea. Imagine
1021
00:35:05.230 --> 00:35:06.590
Revolution buy-in.
1022
00:35:08.170 --> 00:35:10.630
You have a women's tag match.
1023
00:35:11.550 --> 00:35:12.130
Willow versus
1024
00:35:13.070 --> 00:35:14.590
Willow and Harley versus
1025
00:35:14.590 --> 00:35:16.450
I don't know, the IIconics.
1026
00:35:17.790 --> 00:35:18.490
They lose.
1027
00:35:19.410 --> 00:35:20.630
You can easily write a story
1028
00:35:20.630 --> 00:35:22.690
than Willow losing the TBS championship as
1029
00:35:22.690 --> 00:35:24.530
well. Or she retains
1030
00:35:24.530 --> 00:35:26.550
the tag champions and then loses
1031
00:35:26.550 --> 00:35:28.630
the TBS championship because
1032
00:35:28.630 --> 00:35:30.490
she had to do both.
1033
00:35:30.890 --> 00:35:32.050
And she can't do both.
1034
00:35:32.050 --> 00:35:33.950
Yeah, and I think if you're a double champ,
1035
00:35:34.010 --> 00:35:35.930
you should be forced to defend both
1036
00:35:35.930 --> 00:35:37.890
belts. I think you have to prove
1037
00:35:37.890 --> 00:35:39.770
why you're a double champ. And
1038
00:35:40.310 --> 00:35:41.890
that's a story in and of itself.
1039
00:35:42.050 --> 00:35:43.910
You're going to drop one of those belts sooner
1040
00:35:43.910 --> 00:35:45.990
than later because there's no fucking way
1041
00:35:45.990 --> 00:35:48.150
you can just hold onto that forever.
1042
00:35:48.990 --> 00:35:49.970
Tony, I'm begging you,
1043
00:35:49.970 --> 00:35:52.010
you need to hire me. You need to hire
1044
00:35:52.010 --> 00:35:54.090
all of us. Just to
1045
00:35:54.090 --> 00:35:55.210
help you a story idea.
1046
00:35:56.230 --> 00:35:57.970
I mean, the dudes
1047
00:35:57.970 --> 00:36:00.210
had a pretty great track record the last year
1048
00:36:00.210 --> 00:36:01.450
or so. But
1049
00:36:02.610 --> 00:36:04.410
Do you think I'm not whispering in his
1050
00:36:04.410 --> 00:36:05.190
ear?
1051
00:36:07.650 --> 00:36:08.310
Did you notice
1052
00:36:08.310 --> 00:36:10.210
he was not carried away in a stretcher?
1053
00:36:11.810 --> 00:36:12.310
Yes.
1054
00:36:12.310 --> 00:36:13.750
Yes, that's true. That's true.
1055
00:36:14.970 --> 00:36:16.310
So Josie G actually
1056
00:36:16.310 --> 00:36:18.090
sent me a few audio messages.
1057
00:36:18.470 --> 00:36:20.150
She's being detained by
1058
00:36:20.150 --> 00:36:22.270
a small child right now that she just
1059
00:36:22.270 --> 00:36:24.190
had being a mom and stuff.
1060
00:36:24.470 --> 00:36:25.690
So she sent me
1061
00:36:26.140 --> 00:36:28.270
a few audio messages. This was the first
1062
00:36:28.270 --> 00:36:30.510
one. It's about Tekla. And just to continue
1063
00:36:30.510 --> 00:36:32.130
our comments about Tekla.
1064
00:36:32.270 --> 00:36:33.890
My girlfriend, Tekla,
1065
00:36:33.890 --> 00:36:36.270
I am very happy that she is the AW
1066
00:36:36.270 --> 00:36:37.950
Women's World Champion.
1067
00:36:38.210 --> 00:36:39.330
What a year she's had.
1068
00:36:40.790 --> 00:36:42.270
She is the coolest
1069
00:36:42.830 --> 00:36:44.410
female wrestler in professional
1070
00:36:44.410 --> 00:36:46.030
wrestling right now. You know what?
1071
00:36:46.570 --> 00:36:48.430
Let me rephrase that. The coolest wrestler
1072
00:36:48.430 --> 00:36:50.170
in professional wrestling right now.
1073
00:36:51.410 --> 00:36:52.430
There is
1074
00:36:52.430 --> 00:36:54.330
nothing fake about her. There is nothing
1075
00:36:54.330 --> 00:36:55.870
rehearsed about her. She's herself.
1076
00:36:55.870 --> 00:36:58.110
I absolutely love her. I'm
1077
00:36:58.110 --> 00:37:00.010
really happy that it's now the year of
1078
00:37:00.010 --> 00:37:01.970
the Spider. I have a lot of respect
1079
00:37:01.970 --> 00:37:04.010
for Chris Snadlander. Don't get me wrong.
1080
00:37:05.430 --> 00:37:05.890
But
1081
00:37:05.890 --> 00:37:07.890
Tekla just has everything
1082
00:37:07.890 --> 00:37:10.190
that you want in a champion.
1083
00:37:11.030 --> 00:37:12.090
And Snadlander did have
1084
00:37:12.090 --> 00:37:14.270
a great reign. You know, she had
1085
00:37:14.270 --> 00:37:15.950
the belt for
1086
00:37:15.950 --> 00:37:18.110
a while. I mean, it wasn't a
1087
00:37:18.110 --> 00:37:19.950
year or anything like that. But not
1088
00:37:19.950 --> 00:37:21.890
all title reigns need to be a year
1089
00:37:21.890 --> 00:37:23.830
long. After
1090
00:37:23.830 --> 00:37:25.870
Mercedes had the belt for
1091
00:37:25.870 --> 00:37:27.970
over a year and Tony Storm had the belt
1092
00:37:27.970 --> 00:37:30.030
for a long time. I think we all
1093
00:37:30.030 --> 00:37:32.010
needed a break from a very long title
1094
00:37:32.010 --> 00:37:33.830
reign. So I think AEW
1095
00:37:33.830 --> 00:37:34.750
made the right call.
1096
00:37:35.770 --> 00:37:37.750
I'm very excited to see what Tekla
1097
00:37:37.750 --> 00:37:38.850
does as champion.
1098
00:37:40.610 --> 00:37:41.830
And I hope
1099
00:37:43.370 --> 00:37:43.850
that
1100
00:37:43.850 --> 00:37:45.830
Triangle of Madness. Is that it? Yeah,
1101
00:37:45.830 --> 00:37:47.870
Triangle of Madness. I hope they get all
1102
00:37:47.870 --> 00:37:49.610
the gold. Awesome faction.
1103
00:37:49.810 --> 00:37:52.030
Still one of the best in professional wrestling today.
1104
00:37:52.030 --> 00:37:54.010
And yes,
1105
00:37:54.450 --> 00:37:56.090
I love Tekla. So
1106
00:37:56.090 --> 00:37:57.650
I'm very happy and
1107
00:37:57.650 --> 00:38:00.210
I can't wait to catch up on
1108
00:38:00.210 --> 00:38:01.070
her matches.
1109
00:38:01.810 --> 00:38:04.310
I'm very sad that I'm behind
1110
00:38:04.310 --> 00:38:06.350
on AEW, but I do plan to
1111
00:38:06.350 --> 00:38:07.930
catch up.
1112
00:38:08.150 --> 00:38:10.330
Lots of great stuff is going on.
1113
00:38:10.510 --> 00:38:11.570
Love that company.
1114
00:38:12.910 --> 00:38:14.330
I know that Wil Hobbs
1115
00:38:14.330 --> 00:38:16.370
left AEW.
1116
00:38:17.390 --> 00:38:18.490
And that's okay.
1117
00:38:19.310 --> 00:38:20.490
Really happy that
1118
00:38:20.490 --> 00:38:22.490
Anna Cross made her big debut in Australia.
1119
00:38:24.090 --> 00:38:24.570
Very
1120
00:38:24.570 --> 00:38:26.450
awesome stuff. Kyle
1121
00:38:26.450 --> 00:38:28.390
Fletcher is TNT champion again.
1122
00:38:29.190 --> 00:38:30.610
Really great that he got to
1123
00:38:30.610 --> 00:38:32.810
defend the TNT title
1124
00:38:32.810 --> 00:38:34.490
in his home
1125
00:38:34.490 --> 00:38:36.570
country. So anyways,
1126
00:38:36.850 --> 00:38:38.830
lots of good stuff going on.
1127
00:38:39.330 --> 00:38:40.670
Sad that I'm behind, but
1128
00:38:41.330 --> 00:38:42.290
what can I do?
1129
00:38:42.450 --> 00:38:44.050
Joshi B is my boss right now.
1130
00:38:44.550 --> 00:38:46.730
He dictates my schedule.
1131
00:38:47.170 --> 00:38:48.270
But I miss everybody.
1132
00:38:48.270 --> 00:38:50.750
And I look forward to recording
1133
00:38:50.750 --> 00:38:52.430
very soon. And I will
1134
00:38:52.430 --> 00:38:54.390
be sending more recordings
1135
00:38:55.470 --> 00:38:56.450
over the next
1136
00:38:56.450 --> 00:38:58.290
couple of weeks. I miss doing this
1137
00:38:58.290 --> 00:39:00.430
a lot. And hopefully I can
1138
00:39:01.170 --> 00:39:02.330
record for an hour what
1139
00:39:02.330 --> 00:39:04.930
I believe we used to back in the day.
1140
00:39:05.070 --> 00:39:06.410
Back in the day. Making it sound like
1141
00:39:06.410 --> 00:39:07.650
this was years ago. But anyways,
1142
00:39:08.130 --> 00:39:09.690
I just really miss wrestling.
1143
00:39:09.950 --> 00:39:12.330
I miss everybody. I miss the Syqlis community.
1144
00:39:13.450 --> 00:39:14.490
And I look
1145
00:39:14.490 --> 00:39:15.930
forward to coming back.
1146
00:39:15.930 --> 00:39:18.170
So yeah, Joshi is very excited
1147
00:39:18.170 --> 00:39:20.190
that Tecla is the champion. I totally
1148
00:39:20.190 --> 00:39:22.030
agree with her. Tecla's
1149
00:39:22.030 --> 00:39:24.130
an awesome pick to be champion. And yeah,
1150
00:39:24.310 --> 00:39:26.050
she's not, there's nothing
1151
00:39:26.050 --> 00:39:28.130
fake or hollow about Tecla.
1152
00:39:28.250 --> 00:39:29.490
She's not a wrestling character.
1153
00:39:30.610 --> 00:39:32.110
She's pretty much just
1154
00:39:32.110 --> 00:39:33.990
a five foot one
1155
00:39:33.990 --> 00:39:35.810
giant of a human being.
1156
00:39:36.990 --> 00:39:37.630
But Joshi,
1157
00:39:37.970 --> 00:39:39.870
I'm sorry, it says about
1158
00:39:39.870 --> 00:39:41.190
Uncle Don. Hold on.
1159
00:39:41.890 --> 00:39:44.230
Hello everybody. This is Joshi
1160
00:39:44.230 --> 00:39:46.530
with an important message. So yes,
1161
00:39:46.530 --> 00:39:48.210
I am indeed a mother now.
1162
00:39:48.830 --> 00:39:50.350
And Joshi B has been
1163
00:39:50.350 --> 00:39:52.350
keeping me very busy. I haven't
1164
00:39:52.350 --> 00:39:54.070
had that much time to
1165
00:39:54.070 --> 00:39:55.950
watch AEW unfortunately.
1166
00:39:56.630 --> 00:39:58.570
But I will catch up. I did listen
1167
00:39:58.570 --> 00:40:00.450
to Sit Down the Hard Way.
1168
00:40:01.330 --> 00:40:02.370
So basically,
1169
00:40:02.670 --> 00:40:04.330
I play daily. Professor
1170
00:40:04.330 --> 00:40:05.610
degree and dads
1171
00:40:06.910 --> 00:40:08.230
reviewed Grand Slam
1172
00:40:08.230 --> 00:40:09.030
in Australia.
1173
00:40:10.070 --> 00:40:12.050
And I noticed that I was mentioned.
1174
00:40:12.050 --> 00:40:15.430
It was definitely hard to sit down.
1175
00:40:15.770 --> 00:40:16.550
Very hard.
1176
00:40:17.230 --> 00:40:18.530
So props for that name.
1177
00:40:19.910 --> 00:40:20.830
To hear
1178
00:40:20.830 --> 00:40:22.250
people call me
1179
00:40:23.430 --> 00:40:24.830
crazy, saying I've lost
1180
00:40:24.830 --> 00:40:26.970
my mind. I blade saying he's enabled
1181
00:40:26.970 --> 00:40:28.930
me. I don't know what is
1182
00:40:28.930 --> 00:40:30.790
going on. Obviously,
1183
00:40:31.030 --> 00:40:32.870
Uncle Don is a very special person
1184
00:40:32.870 --> 00:40:34.790
to me. He is
1185
00:40:34.790 --> 00:40:36.210
Joshi B's great uncle.
1186
00:40:36.790 --> 00:40:38.630
I'm still waiting for my check.
1187
00:40:39.490 --> 00:40:40.390
Waiting patiently.
1188
00:40:40.390 --> 00:40:42.850
I blade, how dare you say
1189
00:40:42.850 --> 00:40:44.550
that you're enabling
1190
00:40:44.550 --> 00:40:46.710
me. I thought that you supported Uncle
1191
00:40:46.710 --> 00:40:48.650
Don. I'm very disappointed
1192
00:40:48.650 --> 00:40:50.950
in you. Professor degree,
1193
00:40:51.310 --> 00:40:52.730
you shaved your head for
1194
00:40:52.730 --> 00:40:54.450
what? To make fun of me?
1195
00:40:54.650 --> 00:40:56.330
I don't appreciate that.
1196
00:40:56.670 --> 00:40:58.630
Dads, I am very happy to
1197
00:40:58.630 --> 00:41:00.550
hear that you now support
1198
00:41:00.550 --> 00:41:02.250
Don Callis. It took you long enough
1199
00:41:02.250 --> 00:41:04.470
after listening to you constantly
1200
00:41:04.470 --> 00:41:06.730
telling me to go to sleep. And
1201
00:41:06.730 --> 00:41:08.610
saying that I was nuts. You
1202
00:41:08.610 --> 00:41:10.910
have finally come
1203
00:41:10.910 --> 00:41:12.730
around. It would only be a matter
1204
00:41:12.730 --> 00:41:14.530
of time. Uncle Don
1205
00:41:14.530 --> 00:41:16.650
wins everyone over. So welcome to
1206
00:41:16.650 --> 00:41:17.850
the Don Callis family.
1207
00:41:19.230 --> 00:41:20.650
So yeah, so on
1208
00:41:20.650 --> 00:41:22.170
sit down the hard way,
1209
00:41:22.390 --> 00:41:24.710
we reviewed Grand Slam Australia
1210
00:41:24.710 --> 00:41:26.750
and I had said that
1211
00:41:26.750 --> 00:41:28.990
that my friend had gone crazy.
1212
00:41:29.530 --> 00:41:30.510
That Uncle Don wasn't really
1213
00:41:30.510 --> 00:41:32.470
her uncle. And that
1214
00:41:33.190 --> 00:41:34.550
that I had
1215
00:41:34.550 --> 00:41:36.770
kind of been enabling
1216
00:41:36.770 --> 00:41:39.310
her. I didn't realize
1217
00:41:39.310 --> 00:41:41.510
she was going to listen to it. So
1218
00:41:42.830 --> 00:41:45.050
So you just decided to smack talk my
1219
00:41:45.050 --> 00:41:48.170
wifey? Yeah. Listen,
1220
00:41:48.450 --> 00:41:50.250
I may not agree with Don, but
1221
00:41:50.250 --> 00:41:51.710
Don is her uncle.
1222
00:41:53.290 --> 00:41:53.650
Wow.
1223
00:41:54.990 --> 00:41:56.270
Wow. All right.
1224
00:41:56.490 --> 00:41:58.110
All right. Okay.
1225
00:41:58.230 --> 00:42:00.090
She has one more message, but we'll get to that later.
1226
00:42:00.430 --> 00:42:03.310
Thank you, Joshi. Thank you. Please don't hurt me.
1227
00:42:04.410 --> 00:42:06.030
Speaking of hurting people,
1228
00:42:08.230 --> 00:42:10.910
Dynamite didn't just have this colossal
1229
00:42:10.910 --> 00:42:12.710
what the fuck thing with Hangman.
1230
00:42:13.170 --> 00:42:13.590
Okay.
1231
00:42:14.590 --> 00:42:16.630
That was just midway through the show.
1232
00:42:17.710 --> 00:42:18.690
They had
1233
00:42:18.690 --> 00:42:20.230
Kenneth Jerome
1234
00:42:20.230 --> 00:42:23.790
Omega Bonaparte the 15th
1235
00:42:23.790 --> 00:42:24.590
face
1236
00:42:25.510 --> 00:42:26.610
Swerve Strickland
1237
00:42:26.610 --> 00:42:28.650
on Dynamite. And I had
1238
00:42:28.650 --> 00:42:30.230
said last week, I don't know
1239
00:42:30.750 --> 00:42:32.750
like what show do I even watch
1240
00:42:32.750 --> 00:42:34.550
every single week to be
1241
00:42:34.550 --> 00:42:37.310
as wrong as I am? Like how
1242
00:42:38.850 --> 00:42:39.810
like what
1243
00:42:39.810 --> 00:42:41.270
what show do I even watch?
1244
00:42:41.270 --> 00:42:43.310
Because like I'm so wrong. Because I
1245
00:42:43.310 --> 00:42:44.810
had said there's no fucking way
1246
00:42:45.630 --> 00:42:47.390
that they're going to have like a full
1247
00:42:47.390 --> 00:42:49.250
on match because they got to get to
1248
00:42:49.250 --> 00:42:51.550
Revolution. We'll get to that.
1249
00:42:51.730 --> 00:42:53.310
There's a whole big thing about that.
1250
00:42:55.110 --> 00:42:55.590
But
1251
00:42:56.410 --> 00:42:57.370
you know,
1252
00:42:57.710 --> 00:42:59.390
the finish would probably be in
1253
00:42:59.390 --> 00:43:01.730
dispute some way somehow, right?
1254
00:43:03.210 --> 00:43:03.690
Firstly,
1255
00:43:04.810 --> 00:43:05.450
this Matt fucking
1256
00:43:05.450 --> 00:43:07.790
ruled in absolutely every way it possibly
1257
00:43:08.330 --> 00:43:08.850
could.
1258
00:43:09.450 --> 00:43:11.430
Matt to the ear. So far.
1259
00:43:11.630 --> 00:43:13.650
Yeah. I mean, it is so great
1260
00:43:13.650 --> 00:43:15.670
to see Kenny Omega back
1261
00:43:15.670 --> 00:43:17.070
in full on cleaner mode,
1262
00:43:17.490 --> 00:43:19.110
putting on classics like this.
1263
00:43:19.850 --> 00:43:21.630
I told you he was trolling us.
1264
00:43:22.870 --> 00:43:23.550
I called
1265
00:43:23.550 --> 00:43:25.390
it mid last year. It's also
1266
00:43:25.390 --> 00:43:27.910
possible he just needed some additional
1267
00:43:27.910 --> 00:43:29.350
work done to like fully
1268
00:43:29.350 --> 00:43:31.390
get him back where he needed to be. Oh, most
1269
00:43:31.390 --> 00:43:33.470
likely. But I like that he told us
1270
00:43:33.470 --> 00:43:35.090
I'm retiring.
1271
00:43:36.950 --> 00:43:37.590
I'm just
1272
00:43:37.590 --> 00:43:39.490
so tired. I'm
1273
00:43:39.490 --> 00:43:40.270
retiring.
1274
00:43:41.050 --> 00:43:43.450
He's been talking about shit like this forever.
1275
00:43:43.510 --> 00:43:45.750
So it is hard to say what it is.
1276
00:43:46.490 --> 00:43:47.570
But Swerve looks all
1277
00:43:47.570 --> 00:43:49.350
the way back to, you know, he came
1278
00:43:49.350 --> 00:43:51.350
back in December
1279
00:43:51.350 --> 00:43:53.750
and was much larger.
1280
00:43:54.490 --> 00:43:54.950
Much larger.
1281
00:43:55.610 --> 00:43:57.530
You know, he's looked great in his matches and
1282
00:43:57.530 --> 00:43:58.850
stuff, but he hasn't wrestled a ton.
1283
00:43:59.910 --> 00:44:01.310
This match, no ring rust
1284
00:44:01.310 --> 00:44:03.270
at all. No
1285
00:44:03.270 --> 00:44:03.970
ring rust.
1286
00:44:05.370 --> 00:44:06.990
And these two have,
1287
00:44:07.790 --> 00:44:09.490
as it turns out, fucking
1288
00:44:09.490 --> 00:44:11.170
amazing in ring chemistry.
1289
00:44:12.030 --> 00:44:13.430
But I don't know why you're surprised by
1290
00:44:13.430 --> 00:44:15.310
this, because they had amazing
1291
00:44:15.310 --> 00:44:17.650
chemistry on promos
1292
00:44:17.650 --> 00:44:19.210
together. Like,
1293
00:44:19.450 --> 00:44:21.450
I am still dreaming of these two
1294
00:44:21.450 --> 00:44:23.050
just to get together.
1295
00:44:23.230 --> 00:44:25.430
And this is why I'm also mad at
1296
00:44:25.430 --> 00:44:27.190
Tony Khan. My husband
1297
00:44:27.190 --> 00:44:29.450
made me choose between my two boyfriends
1298
00:44:29.450 --> 00:44:30.290
this week.
1299
00:44:31.250 --> 00:44:33.510
And then tried to kill boyfriend
1300
00:44:33.510 --> 00:44:34.350
number one.
1301
00:44:35.410 --> 00:44:36.770
Yeah, yeah.
1302
00:44:37.130 --> 00:44:39.810
Well, it's sister husbands, and that's
1303
00:44:39.810 --> 00:44:40.270
very true.
1304
00:44:41.630 --> 00:44:42.630
Yeah, you're sister husbands.
1305
00:44:43.810 --> 00:44:45.570
I told him I didn't want to choose.
1306
00:44:45.810 --> 00:44:47.170
I said, we're in a why choose
1307
00:44:47.170 --> 00:44:49.310
novel, Tony. Give the girls
1308
00:44:49.310 --> 00:44:50.030
what they want.
1309
00:44:51.450 --> 00:44:53.050
Kenny and Swerve kissing.
1310
00:44:54.670 --> 00:44:54.930
Yeah.
1311
00:44:55.390 --> 00:44:57.370
Well, we're not sure
1312
00:44:57.370 --> 00:44:59.170
that that won't happen, you know?
1313
00:44:59.470 --> 00:45:01.430
I said last week that Swerve looked like
1314
00:45:01.430 --> 00:45:03.290
a heel in the promo
1315
00:45:03.290 --> 00:45:05.410
that they had. Not because
1316
00:45:05.930 --> 00:45:07.750
Kenny didn't also have an edge.
1317
00:45:09.010 --> 00:45:09.610
But
1318
00:45:09.610 --> 00:45:11.550
Kenny was like the people
1319
00:45:11.550 --> 00:45:13.470
called me the god of pro wrestling. He was like
1320
00:45:14.110 --> 00:45:15.550
doing a little more
1321
00:45:15.550 --> 00:45:17.010
pandering, you know?
1322
00:45:17.490 --> 00:45:18.710
So Nana had been
1323
00:45:19.370 --> 00:45:21.410
like just casually had an
1324
00:45:21.410 --> 00:45:23.650
embassy towel a few weeks ago.
1325
00:45:24.130 --> 00:45:25.490
And it was like, what the
1326
00:45:25.490 --> 00:45:27.510
hell is that? That wasn't an accident.
1327
00:45:28.590 --> 00:45:29.810
And then Swerve
1328
00:45:29.810 --> 00:45:31.470
definitely took a more heelish approach
1329
00:45:31.470 --> 00:45:33.550
to Kenny. He was like blowing him off like he
1330
00:45:33.550 --> 00:45:35.490
wasn't shit, you know? Like
1331
00:45:35.490 --> 00:45:37.390
he wasn't shit. We're lapping you.
1332
00:45:37.450 --> 00:45:39.730
We've surpassed you already. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1333
00:45:40.370 --> 00:45:41.530
So then these two
1334
00:45:41.530 --> 00:45:43.130
have this incredible match.
1335
00:45:43.190 --> 00:45:45.550
It's going back and forth. Just, you know,
1336
00:45:45.570 --> 00:45:47.450
two guys kicking each other's ass.
1337
00:45:47.650 --> 00:45:49.810
Doing all kinds of crazy shit. Both of them bumping
1338
00:45:49.810 --> 00:45:50.670
like crazy.
1339
00:45:52.530 --> 00:45:53.490
When Aubrey
1340
00:45:53.490 --> 00:45:55.550
Edwards is checking on Swerve Strickland
1341
00:45:55.550 --> 00:45:57.270
who's up against the ropes and Kenny Omega
1342
00:45:57.270 --> 00:45:59.210
comes barreling in
1343
00:45:59.210 --> 00:46:01.350
to hit Swerve with a V trigger.
1344
00:46:01.890 --> 00:46:03.610
And Swerve very
1345
00:46:03.610 --> 00:46:05.250
clearly and very intentionally
1346
00:46:05.250 --> 00:46:07.230
pulls Aubrey in front of him.
1347
00:46:07.470 --> 00:46:09.390
And she gets fucking V
1348
00:46:09.390 --> 00:46:11.310
triggered by Kenny goddamn
1349
00:46:11.310 --> 00:46:13.550
Omega. The drama
1350
00:46:13.550 --> 00:46:15.570
of this match hits a whole new level.
1351
00:46:16.110 --> 00:46:17.890
Right? Like you're like
1352
00:46:17.890 --> 00:46:19.810
what? What?
1353
00:46:20.070 --> 00:46:21.310
What? What just happened?
1354
00:46:22.990 --> 00:46:23.510
Insane.
1355
00:46:24.870 --> 00:46:26.510
And then Kenny just
1356
00:46:26.510 --> 00:46:28.430
stands there like he's like he doesn't know like
1357
00:46:28.430 --> 00:46:29.850
what have I done? Right?
1358
00:46:30.870 --> 00:46:32.390
And it gives Swerve a
1359
00:46:32.390 --> 00:46:33.490
lot of time to recover.
1360
00:46:35.110 --> 00:46:36.750
Swerve hits a house call
1361
00:46:36.750 --> 00:46:37.510
on Kenny
1362
00:46:38.230 --> 00:46:40.290
and gets a visual pin on him.
1363
00:46:40.830 --> 00:46:42.310
Aubrey's still out. Aubrey's like dead.
1364
00:46:42.630 --> 00:46:43.470
She's like out.
1365
00:46:44.590 --> 00:46:45.710
Have we checked on Aubrey?
1366
00:46:46.690 --> 00:46:48.410
She's not doing like
1367
00:46:48.410 --> 00:46:50.110
oh my jaw. Ow.
1368
00:46:50.110 --> 00:46:52.470
You know, and rolls out of the ring like she's just
1369
00:46:52.470 --> 00:46:53.990
dead in the ring.
1370
00:46:54.090 --> 00:46:55.990
Right? And Paul Turner
1371
00:46:55.990 --> 00:46:58.230
eventually runs down.
1372
00:46:58.270 --> 00:47:00.210
Swerve stays on offense and he's
1373
00:47:00.210 --> 00:47:02.270
hitting Kenny with everything. He hits him with
1374
00:47:02.270 --> 00:47:03.730
two more house calls.
1375
00:47:04.410 --> 00:47:06.350
Covers him. Kenny kicks out.
1376
00:47:06.490 --> 00:47:08.070
And Swerve gets this look on his face like
1377
00:47:08.070 --> 00:47:09.510
what the fuck. Right?
1378
00:47:10.110 --> 00:47:11.970
Like he's called this guy every fucking
1379
00:47:11.970 --> 00:47:13.830
name. He said he ain't shit.
1380
00:47:13.970 --> 00:47:16.110
He just kicked out of two of your finishers.
1381
00:47:17.090 --> 00:47:18.070
He hits the big pressure
1382
00:47:18.070 --> 00:47:19.330
on Kenny. Right?
1383
00:47:19.990 --> 00:47:21.770
He hits the Swerve stomp on Kenny.
1384
00:47:22.030 --> 00:47:23.730
Kenny kicks out.
1385
00:47:24.890 --> 00:47:25.330
Insane.
1386
00:47:25.670 --> 00:47:28.230
I was like shit. Is Kenny going to hit the one-winged
1387
00:47:28.230 --> 00:47:30.110
angel and Swerve's going to kick out? Like I was
1388
00:47:30.110 --> 00:47:31.490
like, are we going there?
1389
00:47:31.890 --> 00:47:33.870
I thought that and I would have been okay with that
1390
00:47:33.870 --> 00:47:35.710
because I think Swerve is up there and
1391
00:47:35.710 --> 00:47:38.190
people who I'm okay with kicking out
1392
00:47:38.690 --> 00:47:39.710
of the one-winged angel.
1393
00:47:39.710 --> 00:47:42.090
I think Swerve's like one of the
1394
00:47:42.090 --> 00:47:44.070
dudes that I would pick if I were going to pick somebody.
1395
00:47:44.410 --> 00:47:45.910
Either Hangman or Swerve probably.
1396
00:47:45.910 --> 00:47:46.530
Yeah.
1397
00:47:47.370 --> 00:47:49.250
No, not Hangman.
1398
00:47:49.570 --> 00:47:50.090
Swerve.
1399
00:47:52.730 --> 00:47:53.970
So Kenny doesn't
1400
00:47:54.730 --> 00:47:56.090
look weak by
1401
00:47:56.090 --> 00:47:57.970
any means. He just eventually doesn't have
1402
00:47:57.970 --> 00:47:59.470
any more left and gets pinned.
1403
00:48:00.090 --> 00:48:01.530
Clean. He gets pinned clean.
1404
00:48:02.690 --> 00:48:03.990
So other than
1405
00:48:03.990 --> 00:48:05.890
Swerve being a piece of shit who dragged
1406
00:48:05.890 --> 00:48:07.110
the ref in front of him
1407
00:48:07.890 --> 00:48:09.750
and let her get V-triggered for him,
1408
00:48:10.510 --> 00:48:11.930
you know, he basically beats Kenny
1409
00:48:11.930 --> 00:48:12.310
clean.
1410
00:48:13.470 --> 00:48:14.190
And
1411
00:48:14.190 --> 00:48:17.430
I'm shocked because I'm like
1412
00:48:17.430 --> 00:48:18.350
Kenny has now
1413
00:48:18.350 --> 00:48:19.830
lost twice on TV
1414
00:48:19.830 --> 00:48:22.330
in a month to
1415
00:48:22.330 --> 00:48:24.370
Andrade and Swerve. Now
1416
00:48:24.370 --> 00:48:26.490
less surprised about Swerve
1417
00:48:26.490 --> 00:48:27.330
than Andrade.
1418
00:48:28.410 --> 00:48:30.270
But Kenny's putting people over, right?
1419
00:48:30.350 --> 00:48:32.030
But I also have a theory.
1420
00:48:33.370 --> 00:48:34.450
So we
1421
00:48:34.450 --> 00:48:36.310
obviously have now seen Swerve is the most
1422
00:48:36.310 --> 00:48:38.510
dangerous man in AEW.
1423
00:48:39.450 --> 00:48:40.450
But we
1424
00:48:40.450 --> 00:48:42.270
haven't gotten full cleaner yet.
1425
00:48:44.120 --> 00:48:45.400
No, and we're going to.
1426
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:47.300
These two losses
1427
00:48:47.300 --> 00:48:49.300
are going to push Kenny
1428
00:48:50.100 --> 00:48:51.680
to cleaner Kenny
1429
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:53.440
to separate Kenny.
1430
00:48:54.540 --> 00:48:55.180
And
1431
00:48:55.180 --> 00:48:57.760
I don't think he'll be full heel.
1432
00:48:58.300 --> 00:49:00.080
But Kenny is going to be in that morally
1433
00:49:00.080 --> 00:49:01.920
like that gray area
1434
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:04.240
again where he is neither heel nor face.
1435
00:49:05.160 --> 00:49:05.920
And it's going
1436
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.280
whatever their rematch is going to be
1437
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:09.920
Yeah.
1438
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:12.480
Is going to be violent,
1439
00:49:13.600 --> 00:49:14.120
beautiful,
1440
00:49:15.260 --> 00:49:15.600
music.
1441
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:18.820
I mean, this match was violent
1442
00:49:18.820 --> 00:49:20.700
and beautiful, and it wasn't even over
1443
00:49:20.700 --> 00:49:21.820
because Kenny lost.
1444
00:49:22.940 --> 00:49:24.660
He's out. He is like
1445
00:49:24.660 --> 00:49:26.860
down on the mat like out, out, out.
1446
00:49:27.780 --> 00:49:28.300
And
1447
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:29.880
then
1448
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:32.480
Swerve just starts punching him and like beating on
1449
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:34.300
him. Like Kenny didn't do anything
1450
00:49:34.300 --> 00:49:35.060
to him.
1451
00:49:36.060 --> 00:49:37.700
Well, I think everybody was
1452
00:49:37.700 --> 00:49:39.280
and the crowd's booing Swerve.
1453
00:49:39.900 --> 00:49:41.700
Right. I told you last week
1454
00:49:41.700 --> 00:49:43.340
he went too far in the promo
1455
00:49:43.340 --> 00:49:45.420
and that was the first time I've heard a crowd
1456
00:49:45.420 --> 00:49:46.940
legit boo Swerve
1457
00:49:46.940 --> 00:49:49.100
in more than a year.
1458
00:49:49.700 --> 00:49:50.600
Several years.
1459
00:49:51.560 --> 00:49:53.160
And Swerve starts attacking Kenny.
1460
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:55.340
Then he fucking puts the chain around his
1461
00:49:55.340 --> 00:49:57.300
neck and throws him over the rope and hangs him.
1462
00:49:57.860 --> 00:49:59.180
He's kicking his ass like
1463
00:49:59.180 --> 00:50:00.840
crazy Nana looks shocked.
1464
00:50:01.220 --> 00:50:03.080
Paul Turner gets thrown out of the goddamn
1465
00:50:03.080 --> 00:50:04.560
ring on his ass.
1466
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:06.980
It takes a great
1467
00:50:06.980 --> 00:50:09.020
rep bump by the way. Like really good
1468
00:50:09.020 --> 00:50:11.180
bump. Nana looks like
1469
00:50:11.180 --> 00:50:13.040
he can't believe it. Danielson
1470
00:50:13.040 --> 00:50:15.220
can't believe it. Danielson's like
1471
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:17.520
looking pretty emotional.
1472
00:50:17.900 --> 00:50:19.200
Like please Swerve don't do
1473
00:50:19.200 --> 00:50:21.040
this. Swerve
1474
00:50:21.040 --> 00:50:23.180
puts the fucking stairs next to the
1475
00:50:23.180 --> 00:50:24.580
announce table and you just know
1476
00:50:24.580 --> 00:50:27.260
this is bad news. Like whatever
1477
00:50:27.260 --> 00:50:29.080
happens next is bad.
1478
00:50:29.520 --> 00:50:30.240
Real bad.
1479
00:50:31.520 --> 00:50:32.360
Swerve
1480
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:34.260
pulls Kenny up the goddamn stairs and
1481
00:50:34.260 --> 00:50:36.380
then fucking hits a vertebrae
1482
00:50:36.380 --> 00:50:38.260
through a table on
1483
00:50:38.260 --> 00:50:40.080
Kenneth. Drops him on his
1484
00:50:40.080 --> 00:50:41.720
goddamn head, face.
1485
00:50:43.140 --> 00:50:43.980
Just
1486
00:50:43.980 --> 00:50:45.580
very vertically down.
1487
00:50:46.740 --> 00:50:48.100
And then Swerve
1488
00:50:48.100 --> 00:50:50.100
sits up like a fucking zombie and
1489
00:50:50.100 --> 00:50:51.560
goes I needed this.
1490
00:50:52.220 --> 00:50:53.500
I needed this.
1491
00:50:54.700 --> 00:50:55.460
It's like
1492
00:50:55.940 --> 00:50:56.360
scary.
1493
00:50:57.680 --> 00:50:58.820
Swerve is a full
1494
00:50:58.820 --> 00:51:00.600
blown unambiguous
1495
00:51:00.600 --> 00:51:02.940
heel. Like there's no
1496
00:51:02.940 --> 00:51:04.480
doubt about that. With this
1497
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:06.580
match has become legitimately
1498
00:51:06.580 --> 00:51:08.360
the most dangerous man in AEW.
1499
00:51:12.620 --> 00:51:14.580
I like this Swerve.
1500
00:51:14.720 --> 00:51:16.500
I like when Swerve is like this.
1501
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:18.440
So I'm very excited. But
1502
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:20.500
I'm also like what Swerve is going to
1503
00:51:20.500 --> 00:51:21.580
push Kenny to do.
1504
00:51:22.820 --> 00:51:24.440
Even though I had to
1505
00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:26.940
use, I almost had to watch
1506
00:51:26.940 --> 00:51:28.680
Kenny get dragged out in a fucking
1507
00:51:28.680 --> 00:51:30.520
stretcher again. Which I swear to God if I
1508
00:51:30.520 --> 00:51:32.480
saw them bring out a stretcher I was going to turn off the
1509
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:34.240
TV and never watch AEW again.
1510
00:51:34.420 --> 00:51:36.420
Because I have made it clear. If I see Kenny
1511
00:51:36.420 --> 00:51:38.040
in another stretcher, I'm done.
1512
00:51:38.620 --> 00:51:39.920
This is not funny anymore.
1513
00:51:40.500 --> 00:51:42.420
Stop selling the diverticulitis.
1514
00:51:43.260 --> 00:51:44.260
He had surgery.
1515
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:46.580
Yes. You notice
1516
00:51:46.580 --> 00:51:48.520
they haven't leaned into the diverticulitis
1517
00:51:48.520 --> 00:51:50.780
as much anymore. No but they mentioned it on commentary
1518
00:51:50.780 --> 00:51:52.680
and I was like stop. Stop.
1519
00:51:53.180 --> 00:51:53.620
Stop.
1520
00:51:54.780 --> 00:51:56.780
Fuck your mama two times said the selling of the jaw
1521
00:51:56.780 --> 00:51:58.760
by Kenny was amazing. He just kept selling it all
1522
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:00.680
match along. Even when he was getting Swerve in the one
1523
00:52:00.680 --> 00:52:02.820
winged angel, Swerve grabs his jaw to get out
1524
00:52:02.820 --> 00:52:04.500
of it. Yes.
1525
00:52:05.120 --> 00:52:06.000
Excellent stuff.
1526
00:52:07.740 --> 00:52:08.660
When I see people
1527
00:52:08.660 --> 00:52:10.660
say that Kenny doesn't sell
1528
00:52:10.660 --> 00:52:12.340
they've never watched a Kenny match.
1529
00:52:13.540 --> 00:52:14.620
Because Kenny is the king
1530
00:52:15.240 --> 00:52:16.120
of selling.
1531
00:52:17.340 --> 00:52:18.240
He's still selling
1532
00:52:18.980 --> 00:52:19.420
diverticulitis.
1533
00:52:22.520 --> 00:52:23.040
Kenny
1534
00:52:23.040 --> 00:52:24.420
Kenny is
1535
00:52:24.420 --> 00:52:26.340
one of the best storytellers in the history
1536
00:52:26.340 --> 00:52:27.740
of wrestling. It's just subtle.
1537
00:52:28.340 --> 00:52:30.300
He doesn't tell you. He doesn't like
1538
00:52:30.300 --> 00:52:31.720
beat you over the head with the story.
1539
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:33.260
He like
1540
00:52:34.520 --> 00:52:36.060
Hangman I think is the
1541
00:52:36.060 --> 00:52:38.120
best storyteller in wrestling
1542
00:52:38.120 --> 00:52:39.920
and probably the most three dimensional
1543
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:41.760
character I've ever seen in wrestling.
1544
00:52:42.140 --> 00:52:43.900
But Kenny's close. He's not far off.
1545
00:52:43.900 --> 00:52:44.780
Swerve is close.
1546
00:52:45.580 --> 00:52:46.920
Like those guys are close.
1547
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:48.760
Kenny is a good storyteller
1548
00:52:48.760 --> 00:52:50.360
in ring. Like he knows
1549
00:52:50.720 --> 00:52:52.760
in ring through the moves
1550
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:54.940
and what he's doing, how to tell a story.
1551
00:52:55.880 --> 00:52:56.580
Like he doesn't need
1552
00:52:56.580 --> 00:52:58.140
a thousand promos to get hit
1553
00:52:58.140 --> 00:52:59.660
to get anything across.
1554
00:53:00.240 --> 00:53:02.640
Yeah. The most over the top I've ever seen
1555
00:53:02.640 --> 00:53:04.420
Kenny was when he was the champ and he was a heel
1556
00:53:04.420 --> 00:53:05.820
champ and it was with Hangman.
1557
00:53:06.100 --> 00:53:08.520
He was just a lunatic over the top
1558
00:53:08.520 --> 00:53:10.660
fucking ass wipe loser
1559
00:53:10.660 --> 00:53:12.800
nerd. And I loved every
1560
00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:16.900
single minute of it. And I think we're going to get
1561
00:53:16.900 --> 00:53:19.020
And I think Swerve is going
1562
00:53:19.020 --> 00:53:20.640
to push him to that. And
1563
00:53:20.640 --> 00:53:22.400
I'm not going to complain.
1564
00:53:23.500 --> 00:53:24.660
Yes. Yes.
1565
00:53:25.620 --> 00:53:26.880
Justin says Kenny is the king
1566
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:29.260
of in ring psychology. I agree.
1567
00:53:30.120 --> 00:53:31.060
Multiclass geek.
1568
00:53:31.420 --> 00:53:32.900
Another great chat here. Too many people
1569
00:53:32.900 --> 00:53:34.780
think that the Shawn Michaels Dolph Ziegler method
1570
00:53:34.780 --> 00:53:36.860
is the only way to sell. Totally.
1571
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:38.140
It's that
1572
00:53:39.980 --> 00:53:40.940
comic overselling.
1573
00:53:42.080 --> 00:53:43.000
To be
1574
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:44.780
honest with you,
1575
00:53:44.780 --> 00:53:47.040
Dolph Ziegler selling has always driven me
1576
00:53:47.040 --> 00:53:48.980
kind of crazy. I think it's so like
1577
00:53:50.720 --> 00:53:52.900
you're a great athlete, dude, but it's way too
1578
00:53:52.900 --> 00:53:54.420
over the top. Way too over the top.
1579
00:53:54.500 --> 00:53:56.800
I'm going to be honest. I don't like the over the top
1580
00:53:56.800 --> 00:53:58.860
selling. It makes me
1581
00:53:58.860 --> 00:54:00.940
cringe. I'm like, oh god, I get
1582
00:54:00.940 --> 00:54:02.380
it. Okay.
1583
00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.140
Yeah. It feels cartoonish.
1584
00:54:07.820 --> 00:54:08.960
Yeah. And which don't get me
1585
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:11.160
wrong. Wrestling is like an anime,
1586
00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:13.320
cartoon, drama,
1587
00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:15.040
theater mix, but
1588
00:54:15.040 --> 00:54:17.480
too much of it just feels too
1589
00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:19.340
kiddish. Yes. Justin
1590
00:54:19.340 --> 00:54:21.260
says cartoonish selling is only acceptable
1591
00:54:21.260 --> 00:54:23.360
in DDT. Yes, it is because it's great
1592
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:25.240
there. In the Fed, it's more reminiscent
1593
00:54:25.240 --> 00:54:27.000
of how finisher spammy they are.
1594
00:54:27.720 --> 00:54:29.360
I happened to be of
1595
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:31.360
the mind that Kenneth and Swerve were going to
1596
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:32.340
fight at Revolution.
1597
00:54:32.940 --> 00:54:35.240
In like a big stipulation match, I even
1598
00:54:35.240 --> 00:54:37.320
said last week on the show, Texas
1599
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:39.080
death. Okay.
1600
00:54:39.160 --> 00:54:41.320
That's almost certainly not happening because
1601
00:54:42.600 --> 00:54:44.400
Hangman and MJF are clearly going to
1602
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:45.980
fight in the Texas death match because
1603
00:54:45.980 --> 00:54:47.720
there's no fucking way
1604
00:54:47.720 --> 00:54:49.760
Hangman goes Texas death.
1605
00:54:49.980 --> 00:54:51.560
And then MJF is like, no.
1606
00:54:52.220 --> 00:54:53.920
Strap match. You know, I mean, it's not
1607
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:55.860
going to happen that way. I
1608
00:54:55.860 --> 00:54:57.760
have my dream Swerve and Kenny match
1609
00:54:57.760 --> 00:54:59.780
in my head and I'll say it after.
1610
00:55:00.720 --> 00:55:01.800
Okay. Okay.
1611
00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:03.880
All right. So
1612
00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:07.000
then it comes out that Kenny's
1613
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.740
got some commitments with Capcom
1614
00:55:08.740 --> 00:55:11.080
and isn't going to be a Revolution at all.
1615
00:55:11.080 --> 00:55:13.020
That came out yesterday.
1616
00:55:14.140 --> 00:55:15.180
From FIFL
1617
00:55:15.180 --> 00:55:17.220
and yeah.
1618
00:55:17.560 --> 00:55:19.400
And it generates
1619
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:20.820
a whole shit storm of stuff.
1620
00:55:21.540 --> 00:55:23.480
Then I see this morning the Observer
1621
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:25.560
who's got a great track record.
1622
00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:27.380
He spent quite a bit of time talking about
1623
00:55:27.380 --> 00:55:29.420
how the Observer hasn't been
1624
00:55:29.420 --> 00:55:31.220
great on the breaking news front lately.
1625
00:55:31.380 --> 00:55:32.920
But they're saying that Kenny's trying to
1626
00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:35.240
be able to be at Revolution.
1627
00:55:36.500 --> 00:55:37.200
I think
1628
00:55:37.200 --> 00:55:38.740
whether he wrestles or not,
1629
00:55:40.110 --> 00:55:42.370
this little stone hobbit friend of mine
1630
00:55:42.370 --> 00:55:44.590
was telling me that whether he
1631
00:55:44.590 --> 00:55:46.290
wrestles at Revolution or not,
1632
00:55:46.290 --> 00:55:48.050
he has to be there, right?
1633
00:55:48.490 --> 00:55:50.310
And I agree with that.
1634
00:55:50.410 --> 00:55:52.390
I think it's really important that Kenny
1635
00:55:52.390 --> 00:55:53.890
is in the building somewhere.
1636
00:55:53.970 --> 00:55:56.210
Or even if it's a pre-taped promo or
1637
00:55:56.210 --> 00:55:56.630
something.
1638
00:55:58.730 --> 00:56:00.450
If he can't get there
1639
00:56:00.450 --> 00:56:01.210
in time,
1640
00:56:03.570 --> 00:56:04.430
I feel like
1641
00:56:04.430 --> 00:56:05.110
we need something.
1642
00:56:06.810 --> 00:56:08.230
I just want to see Kenny
1643
00:56:08.230 --> 00:56:09.750
and Swerve in a lights out match.
1644
00:56:10.870 --> 00:56:12.210
Because I think they're going to push
1645
00:56:12.210 --> 00:56:13.890
themselves to
1646
00:56:14.610 --> 00:56:15.810
this point where
1647
00:56:15.810 --> 00:56:17.630
there is nothing left.
1648
00:56:18.150 --> 00:56:19.490
And they're kind of already there, right?
1649
00:56:20.010 --> 00:56:22.670
There is nothing. Swerve crossed the line.
1650
00:56:23.670 --> 00:56:24.430
God, I can't
1651
00:56:24.430 --> 00:56:26.310
believe. I'm like, Swerve, it's okay.
1652
00:56:26.530 --> 00:56:27.450
I understand.
1653
00:56:28.410 --> 00:56:30.250
Kenny probably deserved it. You will never hear
1654
00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:31.850
me agree with that about Dawn.
1655
00:56:32.290 --> 00:56:33.210
Swerve, yes.
1656
00:56:34.230 --> 00:56:36.170
I don't know what Kenny did backstage to Swerve.
1657
00:56:36.170 --> 00:56:37.870
He probably deserved it.
1658
00:56:37.970 --> 00:56:39.910
You're like, if he dies, he dies.
1659
00:56:40.210 --> 00:56:40.530
He died.
1660
00:56:42.370 --> 00:56:44.150
I'm not choosing between these two.
1661
00:56:44.890 --> 00:56:46.390
There's valid reasons on both
1662
00:56:46.390 --> 00:56:48.210
their parts. Give them a lights out
1663
00:56:48.210 --> 00:56:50.250
match. Whether it's at Revolution
1664
00:56:50.970 --> 00:56:52.270
or what's the next one?
1665
00:56:52.470 --> 00:56:53.470
Is it double or nothing?
1666
00:56:55.150 --> 00:56:56.110
It's at Dynasty.
1667
00:56:57.410 --> 00:56:58.450
Or at Dynasty,
1668
00:56:58.570 --> 00:57:00.370
give them a lights
1669
00:57:00.370 --> 00:57:00.990
out match.
1670
00:57:02.830 --> 00:57:04.310
Give it to him at Dynasty because I'm
1671
00:57:04.310 --> 00:57:05.250
going to be there.
1672
00:57:06.790 --> 00:57:08.590
Homie BJ Dixon, HGA
1673
00:57:08.590 --> 00:57:10.430
in the chat says, do we see the
1674
00:57:10.430 --> 00:57:12.230
Mogul embassy coming back with Swerve being
1675
00:57:12.230 --> 00:57:14.210
a heel now? Maybe we can get new members.
1676
00:57:15.170 --> 00:57:16.350
My only thing is I just
1677
00:57:16.350 --> 00:57:18.350
wouldn't call it the Mogul embassy. I just call it
1678
00:57:18.350 --> 00:57:20.330
the embassy. And I
1679
00:57:20.330 --> 00:57:22.170
it would definitely be new members. They're not signing
1680
00:57:22.170 --> 00:57:23.490
Parker Boudreau again.
1681
00:57:24.410 --> 00:57:26.390
I feel like they're printing at it
1682
00:57:26.930 --> 00:57:28.090
with the towel
1683
00:57:28.090 --> 00:57:30.290
and some of the stuff Swerve has
1684
00:57:30.290 --> 00:57:32.210
done. I feel like it's definitely happening
1685
00:57:32.210 --> 00:57:33.750
again, which would be cool.
1686
00:57:35.050 --> 00:57:36.710
It would be nice to see
1687
00:57:36.710 --> 00:57:38.270
we've now, I feel like
1688
00:57:38.270 --> 00:57:40.090
we've had too many
1689
00:57:40.090 --> 00:57:42.130
factions and now we have two big
1690
00:57:42.130 --> 00:57:44.410
ones. And that's
1691
00:57:44.410 --> 00:57:44.910
it.
1692
00:57:45.510 --> 00:57:48.110
We have one faction that's literally
1693
00:57:48.110 --> 00:57:50.410
as big as all the other factions were combined
1694
00:57:50.410 --> 00:57:51.250
previously.
1695
00:57:51.930 --> 00:57:54.210
That's the Don Callis family. And then
1696
00:57:55.330 --> 00:57:56.150
fucking mama two times
1697
00:57:56.150 --> 00:57:58.130
says, I think it will just be the embassy. Champa
1698
00:57:58.130 --> 00:58:00.370
used to be in the embassy. I think
1699
00:58:00.370 --> 00:58:02.790
I think that
1700
00:58:02.790 --> 00:58:04.370
prior to
1701
00:58:04.950 --> 00:58:06.630
AEW, a lot of people don't realize the
1702
00:58:06.630 --> 00:58:08.490
embassy's been around for like
1703
00:58:08.490 --> 00:58:10.650
20 years. Like
1704
00:58:10.650 --> 00:58:12.290
Prince Nana was a wrestler
1705
00:58:12.290 --> 00:58:14.250
and then became
1706
00:58:14.250 --> 00:58:16.550
a manager. And
1707
00:58:16.910 --> 00:58:18.690
he's had an embassy
1708
00:58:18.690 --> 00:58:20.310
that robe
1709
00:58:20.310 --> 00:58:22.350
Swerve used to wear
1710
00:58:22.350 --> 00:58:23.790
that blue and gold robe
1711
00:58:24.370 --> 00:58:26.410
was the robe of
1712
00:58:26.410 --> 00:58:28.370
Jimmy Rafe. And he was the
1713
00:58:28.370 --> 00:58:29.690
crown jewel of the embassy.
1714
00:58:30.990 --> 00:58:31.750
So those guys,
1715
00:58:32.330 --> 00:58:34.310
this faction has been around forever. There's a ton
1716
00:58:34.310 --> 00:58:36.330
of people in AEW
1717
00:58:36.330 --> 00:58:38.390
who are at least several who
1718
00:58:38.390 --> 00:58:40.450
used to be in the embassy at one time
1719
00:58:40.450 --> 00:58:42.150
or another. So
1720
00:58:42.150 --> 00:58:44.330
there's all kinds of possibilities, but I don't
1721
00:58:44.330 --> 00:58:46.290
know. I don't think that I don't think Swerve
1722
00:58:46.290 --> 00:58:48.190
wants, you know, Trench
1723
00:58:48.190 --> 00:58:50.370
and Parker Boudreau. Yeah.
1724
00:58:50.830 --> 00:58:52.890
Yeah. But
1725
00:58:52.890 --> 00:58:54.570
yeah, I mean, I definitely
1726
00:58:55.570 --> 00:58:56.570
think Prince
1727
00:58:56.570 --> 00:58:57.670
Nana is definitely
1728
00:58:58.770 --> 00:58:59.810
going to.
1729
00:59:01.450 --> 00:59:02.670
I was in Google
1730
00:59:02.670 --> 00:59:04.430
looking up the embassy and seeing
1731
00:59:04.430 --> 00:59:06.890
who was in it. And it was like
1732
00:59:06.890 --> 00:59:09.430
no, no, no.
1733
00:59:10.210 --> 00:59:10.810
Oh, private
1734
00:59:10.810 --> 00:59:11.990
party would be good.
1735
00:59:12.990 --> 00:59:14.830
Because I think, I still
1736
00:59:14.830 --> 00:59:16.670
think private party needs, I don't
1737
00:59:16.670 --> 00:59:18.830
want to say coaching, but
1738
00:59:18.830 --> 00:59:20.790
I think they need someone to
1739
00:59:21.590 --> 00:59:22.690
that's not the bucks
1740
00:59:22.690 --> 00:59:23.790
to try and help
1741
00:59:25.210 --> 00:59:26.090
push them.
1742
00:59:27.330 --> 00:59:29.130
Yeah, I think
1743
00:59:29.130 --> 00:59:29.930
private party
1744
00:59:30.950 --> 00:59:32.450
either needs to mix it up
1745
00:59:32.450 --> 00:59:34.090
or just be a mid card tag team.
1746
00:59:34.270 --> 00:59:36.330
That doesn't win tag titles
1747
00:59:36.330 --> 00:59:38.370
and just kind of like the silly
1748
00:59:38.370 --> 00:59:39.850
string and all that stuff. I just,
1749
00:59:40.550 --> 00:59:42.110
I don't think private party
1750
00:59:42.110 --> 00:59:44.210
is bad. I just don't, they've
1751
00:59:44.210 --> 00:59:45.710
never been like a favorite of mine.
1752
00:59:45.930 --> 00:59:48.110
Like I've always
1753
00:59:48.110 --> 00:59:50.130
just felt like their moves are kind of. They're fun.
1754
00:59:50.130 --> 00:59:51.790
I like them. Yeah, they're just goofy
1755
00:59:51.790 --> 00:59:53.790
kind of, you know, and
1756
00:59:54.410 --> 00:59:56.170
that's fine. That's fine.
1757
00:59:56.710 --> 00:59:57.850
So you think
1758
00:59:57.850 --> 00:59:59.990
books you're going to. People forget we need
1759
00:59:59.990 --> 01:00:01.650
mid carders. Yeah. Oh yeah.
1760
01:00:01.910 --> 01:00:04.130
We need enhancement talents. These are all people
1761
01:00:04.130 --> 01:00:05.730
needed in divisions
1762
01:00:05.730 --> 01:00:07.790
and in wrestling to make
1763
01:00:08.890 --> 01:00:09.890
promotions run.
1764
01:00:10.770 --> 01:00:12.270
You know, I think with swerve,
1765
01:00:12.270 --> 01:00:13.890
yeah, he could have a
1766
01:00:13.890 --> 01:00:15.650
totally different squad now.
1767
01:00:15.730 --> 01:00:17.830
Private party would be interesting. I just, they
1768
01:00:17.830 --> 01:00:19.550
have to change their entire style
1769
01:00:19.550 --> 01:00:21.490
if they're going to be in the embassy because
1770
01:00:21.490 --> 01:00:23.630
I mean, that's a swerve.
1771
01:00:23.770 --> 01:00:25.630
Which might be good for them. Well, yeah,
1772
01:00:25.630 --> 01:00:27.810
if they're up for it, like swerve's going to have
1773
01:00:28.670 --> 01:00:29.850
to find a squad
1774
01:00:29.850 --> 01:00:31.210
that can, you know, he's going to be a
1775
01:00:31.830 --> 01:00:33.750
merciless dude. I mean, that is swerve.
1776
01:00:34.330 --> 01:00:35.570
So, but swerve's a heel
1777
01:00:35.570 --> 01:00:37.630
now and that is incredible.
1778
01:00:38.450 --> 01:00:39.550
I love, I love
1779
01:00:40.310 --> 01:00:41.790
heel swerve. Oh, I do too.
1780
01:00:41.930 --> 01:00:43.710
I think, I think this is
1781
01:00:43.710 --> 01:00:45.490
how you get him red hot again.
1782
01:00:46.190 --> 01:00:47.590
Is you turn him heel and
1783
01:00:47.590 --> 01:00:49.730
he's so bad ass that the crowd loves him
1784
01:00:49.730 --> 01:00:51.830
and that's how it happened the first time.
1785
01:00:52.390 --> 01:00:53.670
So it's how it'll
1786
01:00:53.670 --> 01:00:55.930
happen again. I think that
1787
01:00:55.930 --> 01:00:58.130
we're going to hit the music and when we come back,
1788
01:00:59.210 --> 01:00:59.730
we're going to
1789
01:00:59.730 --> 01:01:01.690
preview what we know about Revolution so far
1790
01:01:01.690 --> 01:01:03.510
and I have a bone to pick
1791
01:01:03.510 --> 01:01:04.450
with you, Tony Khan.
1792
01:01:22.900 --> 01:01:24.520
Alright, we are back in books.
1793
01:01:24.820 --> 01:01:26.660
We got a few matches made official
1794
01:01:27.380 --> 01:01:28.340
for Revolution.
1795
01:01:31.200 --> 01:01:33.080
it is time to talk about
1796
01:01:33.080 --> 01:01:35.420
those matches. So we know that MJF
1797
01:01:35.420 --> 01:01:36.440
and Hangman are wrestling
1798
01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:39.140
and that's going to be in a stipulation
1799
01:01:39.140 --> 01:01:41.120
match of some kind and if Hangman doesn't win, he'll
1800
01:01:41.120 --> 01:01:42.540
never challenge for the world title
1801
01:01:43.060 --> 01:01:44.260
as long as he lives.
1802
01:01:45.300 --> 01:01:47.160
I have never seen Tony Khan
1803
01:01:47.160 --> 01:01:49.300
use some weasely way out of his stipulation
1804
01:01:49.300 --> 01:01:51.120
before. So I'm pretty sure they know
1805
01:01:51.120 --> 01:01:53.060
what they're doing with this. So we'll see.
1806
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:55.140
We'll see. I mean, Cody never did challenge
1807
01:01:55.140 --> 01:01:57.240
for the title again. So
1808
01:01:57.240 --> 01:01:59.020
there you go. And he's still
1809
01:01:59.020 --> 01:02:01.080
whining about it. I know. But that's
1810
01:02:01.080 --> 01:02:03.160
Cody's problem that Tony didn't do that.
1811
01:02:03.160 --> 01:02:05.220
We have the AEW men's tag team
1812
01:02:05.220 --> 01:02:07.040
title match. Do you know how happy it makes
1813
01:02:07.040 --> 01:02:09.120
me to say AEW men's tag team
1814
01:02:09.120 --> 01:02:11.120
title? Because there's a women's tag team
1815
01:02:11.120 --> 01:02:12.160
title now. That's so cool.
1816
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:15.300
We got FTR versus the Young
1817
01:02:15.300 --> 01:02:17.300
Bucks. And
1818
01:02:17.300 --> 01:02:19.140
I saw a lot of people groaning about
1819
01:02:19.140 --> 01:02:20.520
this. Guys?
1820
01:02:22.910 --> 01:02:24.750
I have something to share because someone just
1821
01:02:24.750 --> 01:02:25.730
pointed this out.
1822
01:02:27.110 --> 01:02:28.810
Since FTR has been a part of
1823
01:02:28.810 --> 01:02:30.510
AEW, they've had four matches
1824
01:02:30.510 --> 01:02:34.580
together. And they have not had a match
1825
01:02:34.580 --> 01:02:35.840
together since 2024.
1826
01:02:36.340 --> 01:02:37.680
Stop your whining.
1827
01:02:38.160 --> 01:02:40.600
Also, we get the two
1828
01:02:40.600 --> 01:02:42.420
best tag teams of this era
1829
01:02:42.420 --> 01:02:44.660
in the same promotion
1830
01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:46.840
in a match
1831
01:02:46.840 --> 01:02:48.340
in one of their
1832
01:02:50.710 --> 01:02:51.790
hometowns. Like,
1833
01:02:52.490 --> 01:02:54.070
what is there to complain about?
1834
01:02:54.070 --> 01:02:55.590
Do you not watch these two together?
1835
01:02:55.890 --> 01:02:56.510
They're incredible.
1836
01:02:57.610 --> 01:02:59.990
Their chemistry together is
1837
01:02:59.990 --> 01:03:01.950
so fucking good. And now you have a heel
1838
01:03:01.950 --> 01:03:04.010
FTR versus a baby face
1839
01:03:04.010 --> 01:03:06.070
Young Bucks. It's going to be completely fucking
1840
01:03:06.070 --> 01:03:08.150
matched than the one in 2024 when the heels
1841
01:03:08.150 --> 01:03:09.850
were the Young Bucks.
1842
01:03:10.070 --> 01:03:11.310
I mean, oh my God.
1843
01:03:12.130 --> 01:03:14.050
People complaining just don't
1844
01:03:14.050 --> 01:03:14.870
like good wrestling.
1845
01:03:15.790 --> 01:03:16.850
And also,
1846
01:03:18.450 --> 01:03:19.850
the Bucks can handle a loss.
1847
01:03:19.910 --> 01:03:22.130
They can. Private party should not lose.
1848
01:03:23.130 --> 01:03:24.130
The Rascals should not
1849
01:03:24.130 --> 01:03:24.470
lose.
1850
01:03:26.070 --> 01:03:27.970
None of the tag teams right now
1851
01:03:27.970 --> 01:03:29.930
should lose as they are rebuilding
1852
01:03:29.930 --> 01:03:32.110
this division. I think what the problem
1853
01:03:32.110 --> 01:03:33.990
maybe stems from and why people feel the way
1854
01:03:33.990 --> 01:03:36.110
they do is because the tag division
1855
01:03:36.110 --> 01:03:37.970
really has centered around these two teams
1856
01:03:37.970 --> 01:03:40.110
for the last two years,
1857
01:03:40.110 --> 01:03:42.210
I think, where it's been largely dominated
1858
01:03:42.210 --> 01:03:44.110
by them. And it's
1859
01:03:44.110 --> 01:03:45.990
because the tag team scene has been
1860
01:03:45.990 --> 01:03:48.230
in flux a lot. Where
1861
01:03:48.970 --> 01:03:49.890
when AEW
1862
01:03:49.890 --> 01:03:51.890
started, they had a lot of established teams that
1863
01:03:51.890 --> 01:03:54.010
were all happening at the
1864
01:03:54.010 --> 01:03:56.010
same time. And it feels now kind of
1865
01:03:56.010 --> 01:03:58.130
sometimes like they have
1866
01:03:58.710 --> 01:04:01.010
a couple teams that are doing
1867
01:04:01.010 --> 01:04:03.210
OK and then a couple thrown together
1868
01:04:03.210 --> 01:04:04.890
teams that are going to be teams for a little
1869
01:04:04.890 --> 01:04:06.770
while. Like even Bro Dito,
1870
01:04:06.790 --> 01:04:08.670
you know, even the Hurt Syndicate,
1871
01:04:08.770 --> 01:04:10.730
even we kind of knew they those weren't
1872
01:04:10.730 --> 01:04:12.570
permanent teams. You know what I mean?
1873
01:04:12.570 --> 01:04:14.730
And so that's OK to do every
1874
01:04:14.730 --> 01:04:16.710
once in a while. But I think the
1875
01:04:16.710 --> 01:04:18.610
Bucks and FTR are the only sure thing
1876
01:04:18.610 --> 01:04:20.490
in the tag team division. And I think that
1877
01:04:20.490 --> 01:04:22.510
might be part
1878
01:04:22.510 --> 01:04:24.530
of the problem. Too fat to cook says
1879
01:04:24.530 --> 01:04:26.470
give me flippy shit. I agree.
1880
01:04:26.470 --> 01:04:28.850
I agree. It's going to be great. Love the flippy shit.
1881
01:04:29.030 --> 01:04:30.910
Yeah. No, they need to rebuild
1882
01:04:30.910 --> 01:04:32.830
their tag teams, which is why I'm happy we
1883
01:04:32.830 --> 01:04:34.590
have the rascals. It's why I'm happy
1884
01:04:34.590 --> 01:04:36.570
Private Party is back. But
1885
01:04:36.570 --> 01:04:38.810
I just don't think you have them lose this
1886
01:04:38.810 --> 01:04:40.530
soon on a pay-per-view match.
1887
01:04:40.850 --> 01:04:42.610
And let's be real. We all know
1888
01:04:42.610 --> 01:04:44.610
FTR is going to be going up against Kopen
1889
01:04:45.250 --> 01:04:45.730
Cage.
1890
01:04:46.690 --> 01:04:48.750
And you don't have Kopen
1891
01:04:48.750 --> 01:04:50.790
Cage who are a legendary tag team
1892
01:04:51.650 --> 01:04:52.790
and not have
1893
01:04:52.790 --> 01:04:54.570
them in the lineage of your men's
1894
01:04:54.570 --> 01:04:56.950
tag team. Right, right.
1895
01:04:57.470 --> 01:04:58.790
And I
1896
01:04:58.790 --> 01:05:00.670
could see this going either way.
1897
01:05:00.770 --> 01:05:02.510
I could see it going
1898
01:05:02.510 --> 01:05:04.810
Kopen Christian cost them the
1899
01:05:04.810 --> 01:05:06.410
tag titles like somehow
1900
01:05:06.410 --> 01:05:08.150
against the Bucks. Yeah.
1901
01:05:09.490 --> 01:05:10.790
Or FTR
1902
01:05:10.790 --> 01:05:12.970
wins nefariously somehow.
1903
01:05:13.850 --> 01:05:14.670
And
1904
01:05:14.670 --> 01:05:16.550
then Kopen Christian come out after and
1905
01:05:16.550 --> 01:05:18.690
it's very clear like we're
1906
01:05:18.690 --> 01:05:19.830
coming for you. Yeah.
1907
01:05:21.630 --> 01:05:22.570
That's where
1908
01:05:22.570 --> 01:05:24.710
I'm going back and forth
1909
01:05:24.710 --> 01:05:26.850
between both of those scenarios
1910
01:05:26.850 --> 01:05:28.150
because I think either one will work.
1911
01:05:28.530 --> 01:05:30.650
But I definitely think Kopen Cage will be back
1912
01:05:30.650 --> 01:05:32.730
at Revolution for
1913
01:05:34.750 --> 01:05:35.750
that match. Yeah.
1914
01:05:36.510 --> 01:05:38.750
And finally, we have the AEW
1915
01:05:38.750 --> 01:05:40.410
Continental Championship match.
1916
01:05:40.610 --> 01:05:41.670
No time limit.
1917
01:05:42.710 --> 01:05:45.050
Konosuke Takeshita versus John
1918
01:05:45.050 --> 01:05:46.530
Moxley. And this
1919
01:05:46.530 --> 01:05:48.330
is where
1920
01:05:48.330 --> 01:05:51.310
not only I, okay,
1921
01:05:51.510 --> 01:05:52.090
Joshiji
1922
01:05:52.090 --> 01:05:54.090
also has a bone to pick about this.
1923
01:05:55.130 --> 01:05:56.090
Joshiji? Another
1924
01:05:56.090 --> 01:05:58.270
thing that I'd like to mention is that Takeshita
1925
01:05:58.270 --> 01:05:59.410
is being a punk.
1926
01:06:00.130 --> 01:06:02.410
I don't like the way he's been treating Uncle
1927
01:06:02.410 --> 01:06:05.760
Don. I think that
1928
01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:07.900
Takeshita needs to understand
1929
01:06:07.900 --> 01:06:09.840
that if it wasn't for Uncle Don,
1930
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:11.420
he wouldn't have been in the G1.
1931
01:06:11.980 --> 01:06:13.620
He wouldn't have won the G1.
1932
01:06:13.820 --> 01:06:15.960
He wouldn't have main evented at Wrestle Kingdom.
1933
01:06:16.780 --> 01:06:17.820
So I think that
1934
01:06:17.820 --> 01:06:19.620
Takeshita needs to show Don
1935
01:06:19.620 --> 01:06:23.540
a lot of gratitude. I
1936
01:06:23.540 --> 01:06:25.020
remember a few weeks ago.
1937
01:06:26.340 --> 01:06:27.880
That's not the way you treat somebody
1938
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:29.540
that has given you everything,
1939
01:06:29.940 --> 01:06:31.220
that loves you,
1940
01:06:32.140 --> 01:06:33.440
that gives you money,
1941
01:06:34.060 --> 01:06:35.960
that gives you big moments,
1942
01:06:37.020 --> 01:06:37.460
that gives you
1943
01:06:37.460 --> 01:06:39.500
championships. He's starting to act
1944
01:06:39.500 --> 01:06:41.560
like Kenny Omega. And you know, I think
1945
01:06:41.560 --> 01:06:42.800
Kenny Omega is the goat.
1946
01:06:43.460 --> 01:06:45.060
He's my wrestling husband.
1947
01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:46.340
Looks at body slam.
1948
01:06:47.180 --> 01:06:48.260
Don't ever forget that.
1949
01:06:49.240 --> 01:06:51.300
So I just think that Takeshita
1950
01:06:51.300 --> 01:06:53.280
really needs to get his shit
1951
01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:55.440
together. I don't like what I'm seeing
1952
01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:57.460
from him. And if Don
1953
01:06:57.460 --> 01:06:59.680
Callis decides to kick
1954
01:06:59.680 --> 01:07:01.340
Takeshita in the gut,
1955
01:07:01.700 --> 01:07:03.440
well, he'll have it coming. I didn't
1956
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:05.360
realize that Takeshita was an asshole.
1957
01:07:06.060 --> 01:07:07.080
I had no idea
1958
01:07:07.080 --> 01:07:09.460
what happened to the
1959
01:07:09.460 --> 01:07:11.360
Koko Bun guy that we all
1960
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:13.340
loved. Is that what it's called? Koko
1961
01:07:13.340 --> 01:07:15.200
Bun? Cinnabon? Whatever
1962
01:07:15.200 --> 01:07:17.140
it's called. I don't know. We don't have that here.
1963
01:07:17.480 --> 01:07:18.120
But anyways,
1964
01:07:18.780 --> 01:07:20.860
that's not the Takeshita that I
1965
01:07:20.860 --> 01:07:22.580
know. This Takeshita, no
1966
01:07:22.580 --> 01:07:24.000
respect for his family.
1967
01:07:24.600 --> 01:07:26.360
Very disappointed. Yes,
1968
01:07:26.360 --> 01:07:28.460
I agree with you, Joshi. Takeshita is acting
1969
01:07:28.460 --> 01:07:30.620
like a little asshole towards Uncle Don right now.
1970
01:07:30.860 --> 01:07:32.540
He hasn't been fully appreciative of
1971
01:07:32.540 --> 01:07:34.020
Uncle Don. You're right.
1972
01:07:35.040 --> 01:07:35.600
And
1973
01:07:36.220 --> 01:07:38.320
what I'm not fully appreciative of
1974
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:40.260
right now is where the fuck is
1975
01:07:40.260 --> 01:07:42.560
Okada? Is he hurt?
1976
01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:44.540
Because he hasn't wrestled
1977
01:07:44.540 --> 01:07:46.600
since Tanahashi, right?
1978
01:07:48.070 --> 01:07:49.950
Hold on a second.
1979
01:07:50.450 --> 01:07:52.210
And this story with
1980
01:07:52.210 --> 01:07:54.170
Takeshita and
1981
01:07:54.170 --> 01:07:56.050
Okada has moved
1982
01:07:56.050 --> 01:07:58.170
at a glacial pace, okay?
1983
01:07:58.450 --> 01:08:00.310
I thought that maybe Takeshita
1984
01:08:00.310 --> 01:08:02.290
would win the title in Australia
1985
01:08:02.290 --> 01:08:04.610
so that maybe they could fight a revolution.
1986
01:08:04.970 --> 01:08:05.830
But no.
1987
01:08:06.210 --> 01:08:08.050
No. It appears
1988
01:08:09.010 --> 01:08:10.390
that won't be happening.
1989
01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:14.260
I hope they advance this soon.
1990
01:08:14.640 --> 01:08:16.180
It's not like it's that big a deal,
1991
01:08:16.180 --> 01:08:19.859
but it's kind of a deal. Listen,
1992
01:08:20.620 --> 01:08:22.359
Don plays favorites.
1993
01:08:22.460 --> 01:08:23.620
Oh, I know. Yeah.
1994
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:25.560
And you sit here and want to blame
1995
01:08:25.560 --> 01:08:28.180
Omega and Takeshita for
1996
01:08:28.180 --> 01:08:29.979
Don getting tired of
1997
01:08:29.979 --> 01:08:32.180
his latest shiny toy
1998
01:08:32.180 --> 01:08:34.000
and moving on to the next one.
1999
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:37.859
it's their fault? Well, it's
2000
01:08:37.859 --> 01:08:39.399
your job to remain shiny.
2001
01:08:40.140 --> 01:08:41.779
He also did it to Osprey.
2002
01:08:41.840 --> 01:08:43.979
Yeah. Osprey, Omega,
2003
01:08:44.060 --> 01:08:45.880
and Takeshita are still some of the best
2004
01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:47.620
wrestlers out there.
2005
01:08:47.620 --> 01:08:49.500
Arguably the best.
2006
01:08:50.040 --> 01:08:52.000
And he, like, yes!
2007
01:08:52.439 --> 01:08:53.840
So, so
2008
01:08:53.840 --> 01:08:55.760
what? He's got Okada!
2009
01:08:56.660 --> 01:08:57.180
You know what I mean?
2010
01:08:58.160 --> 01:08:59.740
Like he's just, whoa, Kadosuke,
2011
01:08:59.819 --> 01:09:01.160
you're the greatest forever!
2012
01:09:02.580 --> 01:09:03.640
But, I mean,
2013
01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:05.779
I love Okada, but Okada's a little selfish.
2014
01:09:06.180 --> 01:09:07.819
Yeah. Okada will turn
2015
01:09:07.819 --> 01:09:09.600
on Don, and then Don's
2016
01:09:09.600 --> 01:09:11.580
family is all going to
2017
01:09:11.580 --> 01:09:13.620
like blow up because
2018
01:09:13.620 --> 01:09:16.000
Whoa. I guess I'll be there.
2019
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:17.939
The Don Kalis family will never die.
2020
01:09:18.240 --> 01:09:20.080
Okay. It will always have 37
2021
01:09:20.080 --> 01:09:22.040
people in it. It will at some point. It will always
2022
01:09:22.040 --> 01:09:23.819
have 37 people in it. It will not.
2023
01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:25.180
It will not.
2024
01:09:26.319 --> 01:09:28.020
Look what he's done. You're going to get
2025
01:09:28.020 --> 01:09:30.040
an onion in the mail now, just for saying
2026
01:09:30.460 --> 01:09:32.040
that. The Don Kalis family
2027
01:09:32.040 --> 01:09:33.960
will never die. Two onions? Fine.
2028
01:09:34.260 --> 01:09:36.060
I'll take it. I'll take it like a true
2029
01:09:36.060 --> 01:09:38.100
champ. Fine. Five onions.
2030
01:09:38.100 --> 01:09:40.180
Oh my god. Okay. All right. We're getting a little crazy
2031
01:09:40.180 --> 01:09:40.899
now.
2032
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:44.120
No, but yeah, Okada
2033
01:09:44.120 --> 01:09:45.060
I think has been
2034
01:09:45.740 --> 01:09:47.979
in Japan, home. Oh,
2035
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:48.560
okay.
2036
01:09:50.300 --> 01:09:52.140
Well, how selfish of him, you know?
2037
01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:54.440
What about my personal
2038
01:09:54.440 --> 01:09:56.160
entertainment? How dare he spend time with
2039
01:09:56.160 --> 01:09:58.440
his family? His family lives with him in
2040
01:09:58.440 --> 01:09:59.680
New York, you know?
2041
01:10:01.120 --> 01:10:01.980
He's an ex-guy.
2042
01:10:02.340 --> 01:10:04.020
He lives in New York. He has other
2043
01:10:04.020 --> 01:10:05.740
family. Yeah, but I mean,
2044
01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:08.360
the family that matters lives with him, you know?
2045
01:10:09.220 --> 01:10:10.380
I just feel like my
2046
01:10:10.380 --> 01:10:11.420
personal
2047
01:10:12.380 --> 01:10:14.120
fickle taste should dictate
2048
01:10:14.120 --> 01:10:15.320
the way these people live.
2049
01:10:16.180 --> 01:10:17.760
Is that too much to ask?
2050
01:10:17.860 --> 01:10:19.800
No, I mean, I get that. Yeah. No, I mean,
2051
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:21.340
I get that. Yeah. Because
2052
01:10:21.340 --> 01:10:23.440
it is moving glacial, and
2053
01:10:23.440 --> 01:10:25.420
I don't know what they're waiting for
2054
01:10:27.080 --> 01:10:28.000
other than
2055
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:29.320
I do think
2056
01:10:29.320 --> 01:10:31.420
I still think that
2057
01:10:31.980 --> 01:10:33.760
we're going to get
2058
01:10:33.760 --> 01:10:35.640
Omega versus Okada again.
2059
01:10:36.040 --> 01:10:37.600
So I think that, you know, I think there
2060
01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:39.720
was a lot on
2061
01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:41.940
the line to the start of
2062
01:10:41.940 --> 01:10:44.160
Takeshita versus Okada, but
2063
01:10:44.160 --> 01:10:45.780
it kind of seems like it's gearing
2064
01:10:45.780 --> 01:10:47.420
up for that. Yeah. I mean, it's
2065
01:10:47.420 --> 01:10:49.740
clearly going to come down to Takeshita
2066
01:10:49.740 --> 01:10:51.680
versus Okada, right?
2067
01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:53.600
Like, obviously it has to.
2068
01:10:54.240 --> 01:10:55.300
But I think that
2069
01:10:55.300 --> 01:10:57.700
I think where I'm a little stuck
2070
01:10:57.700 --> 01:10:59.680
on this is Takeshita really
2071
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:02.100
hasn't grown or shown any
2072
01:11:02.100 --> 01:11:03.840
character development other than he blew
2073
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:06.020
off Dawn a few times. That's it.
2074
01:11:06.460 --> 01:11:07.020
Like,
2075
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:09.840
what is going on with Takeshita?
2076
01:11:10.060 --> 01:11:11.440
We have no other
2077
01:11:11.440 --> 01:11:13.500
than he's obviously nonplussed about
2078
01:11:13.500 --> 01:11:14.380
being passed over.
2079
01:11:15.260 --> 01:11:17.360
We don't really know, right? We don't
2080
01:11:17.360 --> 01:11:19.520
really know enough about who Takeshita is.
2081
01:11:20.240 --> 01:11:21.280
I want to see more about
2082
01:11:21.280 --> 01:11:23.220
that. We do know who Okada is. He's a
2083
01:11:23.220 --> 01:11:24.960
selfish asshole
2084
01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:27.220
who will sacrifice literally
2085
01:11:27.220 --> 01:11:29.080
anyone to save himself,
2086
01:11:29.080 --> 01:11:30.960
right? We know who he is. We know who Kyle
2087
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:33.040
Fletcher is. Yeah. And send
2088
01:11:33.040 --> 01:11:35.180
people away in stretchers for
2089
01:11:35.180 --> 01:11:37.080
no reason other than
2090
01:11:37.820 --> 01:11:38.720
he's mad.
2091
01:11:39.700 --> 01:11:41.140
All right. Hold on.
2092
01:11:41.220 --> 01:11:41.580
Kenny
2093
01:11:42.620 --> 01:11:44.560
was going to challenge him for a title.
2094
01:11:45.020 --> 01:11:46.880
Okay. He had to
2095
01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:48.900
make his guts explode. That's what you do
2096
01:11:48.900 --> 01:11:51.380
in wrestling. I mean, there's
2097
01:11:51.380 --> 01:11:52.840
be fair. Okay.
2098
01:11:52.840 --> 01:11:56.460
That's all I'm saying. Like, Kenny just
2099
01:11:56.460 --> 01:11:56.900
like
2100
01:11:58.040 --> 01:11:59.660
all that blood.
2101
01:12:00.140 --> 01:12:02.280
It was cartoonishly fake.
2102
01:12:02.420 --> 01:12:03.480
It was so fake.
2103
01:12:03.480 --> 01:12:05.360
It was so bad.
2104
01:12:06.060 --> 01:12:07.240
I hated it so much.
2105
01:12:07.260 --> 01:12:09.420
You know, Kenny, like, that was
2106
01:12:09.420 --> 01:12:11.640
his idea. Like, he couldn't wait to do that.
2107
01:12:11.940 --> 01:12:13.280
He's like 100 percent
2108
01:12:13.280 --> 01:12:15.380
because he's sick
2109
01:12:15.380 --> 01:12:17.400
in the head. Because Kenny's a
2110
01:12:17.400 --> 01:12:19.200
child. He's like a teenager.
2111
01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:20.320
I love.
2112
01:12:21.540 --> 01:12:22.740
He's hilarious.
2113
01:12:24.180 --> 01:12:25.640
He's never outgrown
2114
01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:27.080
being an eight year old boy. No.
2115
01:12:27.360 --> 01:12:28.700
He really hasn't.
2116
01:12:29.400 --> 01:12:30.800
He really hasn't.
2117
01:12:32.280 --> 01:12:32.760
Yes.
2118
01:12:33.080 --> 01:12:34.440
Yes. Multi class geek
2119
01:12:35.040 --> 01:12:36.920
is being an adult here and says Don
2120
01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:38.800
never got over the Omega breakup and is forever
2121
01:12:38.800 --> 01:12:40.920
looking for his new Kenny. That is the actual
2122
01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:42.360
truth. Yes. Obviously.
2123
01:12:43.540 --> 01:12:43.820
I know.
2124
01:12:44.020 --> 01:12:46.500
I know. But somebody else said it.
2125
01:12:47.280 --> 01:12:47.480
So
2126
01:12:48.940 --> 01:12:51.180
also. The Kenny stand doesn't get believed.
2127
01:12:52.040 --> 01:12:52.800
Well, you are the head
2128
01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:53.840
of the Church of Kenny Omega.
2129
01:12:55.520 --> 01:12:56.540
I am. Yeah.
2130
01:12:57.180 --> 01:12:58.800
And I run the
2131
01:12:59.360 --> 01:13:00.700
fucked on Cal is cold.
2132
01:13:00.940 --> 01:13:02.760
Like, I mean, they're the same
2133
01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:04.120
thing. Books.
2134
01:13:04.460 --> 01:13:06.500
This has been a wildly chaotic episode
2135
01:13:06.500 --> 01:13:07.700
and it's been fun.
2136
01:13:09.240 --> 01:13:10.940
Yeah. Yeah. It's been good.
2137
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:12.780
Anybody watching right now
2138
01:13:12.780 --> 01:13:14.740
or listening, please tune in with

We love having you all in the chat.

It's a great time. Joshi
2144
01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:26.480
G. Thank you for checking in.
2145
01:13:26.480 --> 01:13:28.360
Please don't hurt me. I don't want to be hurt.
2146
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:30.500
I don't deserve to be hurt. If
2147
01:13:30.500 --> 01:13:31.540
you were to hurt anybody.
2148
01:13:33.240 --> 01:13:34.420
Your husband is right
2149
01:13:34.420 --> 01:13:36.240
next to you, like right next to you.
2150
01:13:36.240 --> 01:13:38.320
He's not far away. I'm far away. You don't have to come
2151
01:13:38.320 --> 01:13:41.850
a long way to hurt me. And
2152
01:13:41.850 --> 01:13:44.170
you know, honestly, he's probably
2153
01:13:44.170 --> 01:13:45.290
Hey, you stop.
2154
01:13:46.730 --> 01:13:48.070
Well, books. Where can the people
2155
01:13:48.070 --> 01:13:49.870
find you? They can find you on Instagram.
2156
01:13:49.870 --> 01:13:52.370
They can find you on threads. They can find you on
2157
01:13:52.370 --> 01:13:53.370
blue sky threads.
2158
01:13:53.610 --> 01:13:56.030
And you're just books and body slams.
2159
01:13:56.030 --> 01:13:58.050
I do have a YouTube channel. I don't post.
2160
01:13:59.190 --> 01:14:00.150
Yeah, I am just books
2161
01:14:00.150 --> 01:14:01.630
and body slams. Very easy.
2162
01:14:01.730 --> 01:14:04.190
Well, you should put some of these clips that I'm sending you up
2163
01:14:04.190 --> 01:14:05.970
there of you talking and stuff.
2164
01:14:06.990 --> 01:14:08.070
Yeah, you had me. You had it way
2165
01:14:08.070 --> 01:14:09.970
too close to my face and I couldn't listen to myself.
2166
01:14:10.030 --> 01:14:10.670
Looking all smart.
2167
01:14:11.310 --> 01:14:13.470
I didn't like it.
2168
01:14:15.410 --> 01:14:16.430
I don't like
2169
01:14:16.430 --> 01:14:18.130
super zoomed in. It freaks
2170
01:14:18.130 --> 01:14:20.230
me out because then I start looking at my
2171
01:14:20.970 --> 01:14:21.370
blackheads.
2172
01:14:21.970 --> 01:14:23.990
What? All right. Anyway. Okay.
2173
01:14:24.790 --> 01:14:26.070
Until next time.
2174
01:14:26.650 --> 01:14:27.590
I'm Blade Daily.
2175
01:14:28.230 --> 01:14:29.970
And I'm books and body slams.
2176
01:14:30.150 --> 01:14:32.490
Pro Wrestling Forever.
2177
01:14:55.890 --> 01:14:56.950
Sicko's Club.
2178
01:14:56.950 --> 01:15:01.130
Sicko's Club.
2179
01:15:01.390 --> 01:15:04.030
P.S. Fuck Ice. A.W. has a
2180
01:15:04.030 --> 01:15:06.230
very liberal fan base, which is fantastic.
2181
01:15:07.350 --> 01:15:08.250
I feel I
2182
01:15:08.250 --> 01:15:09.970
fit in and it's
2183
01:15:09.970 --> 01:15:11.450
awesome to see
2184
01:15:11.910 --> 01:15:14.090
the fans react so well to Brody
2185
01:15:14.090 --> 01:15:15.550
King. He has been
2186
01:15:16.650 --> 01:15:17.850
our savior.
2187
01:15:19.070 --> 01:15:21.770
And yeah, all the
2188
01:15:21.770 --> 01:15:22.750
mainstream coverage
2189
01:15:22.750 --> 01:15:24.550
that A.W. has been getting because
2190
01:15:24.550 --> 01:15:26.550
of those chances. Just
2191
01:15:26.550 --> 01:15:28.010
really astonishing
2192
01:15:28.010 --> 01:15:30.390
to see. I'm really proud of A.W.
2193
01:15:30.670 --> 01:15:31.530
Keep at it.
2194
01:15:32.170 --> 01:15:33.870
I think it's very clear right now who
2195
01:15:34.450 --> 01:15:36.270
which company is liberal
2196
01:15:36.270 --> 01:15:37.650
and which company is mega.
2197
01:15:38.150 --> 01:15:40.290
And I know that we don't want to
2198
01:15:40.290 --> 01:15:42.190
mix wrestling with politics, but it's
2199
01:15:42.190 --> 01:15:44.110
already been done. Everything's
2200
01:15:44.110 --> 01:15:46.190
political now. So I'm glad that
2201
01:15:46.190 --> 01:15:48.610
we're on the correct side.
2202
01:15:49.110 --> 01:15:50.480
I don't want to say the right side
2203
01:15:52.550 --> 01:15:54.170
because that tends
2204
01:15:54.170 --> 01:15:56.530
to just write. I hate that
2205
01:15:56.530 --> 01:15:58.230
word right now. So we're on
2206
01:15:58.230 --> 01:15:59.310
the correct side,
2207
01:16:00.370 --> 01:16:02.390
which is A.W. Thank goodness.
2208
01:16:02.910 --> 01:16:04.350
So anyways, Brody,
2209
01:16:04.870 --> 01:16:05.990
thank you for
2210
01:16:06.770 --> 01:16:08.170
your Abolish Ice
2211
01:16:08.170 --> 01:16:10.130
t-shirt. It has been
2212
01:16:10.130 --> 01:16:11.410
letting
2213
01:16:11.940 --> 01:16:14.550
it has been getting a lot of
2214
01:16:14.550 --> 01:16:15.910
attention and engagement in the best
2215
01:16:15.910 --> 01:16:16.630
possible way.
