Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out! Ep. 97
How Is AEW Dynamite This Unhinged Every Week? Texas Death Matches, Mile High Madness & Wrestling Chaos
This week on Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams ask the question AEW Dynamite keeps daring fans to answer: how is a weekly wrestling show allowed to go this hard? The hosts break down the increasingly reckless, epic quality of Dynamite’s current run and debate whether any weekly wrestling program—past or present—has ever delivered action this frenetic, stacked, and relentlessly unhinged.
From El Clon quietly emerging as a must-watch in-ring standout to the match-altering injury to Penelope Ford, the conversation spans the entire night of chaos. The guys also dive into Hangman Page locking in a brutal Texas Death Match against MJF at AEW Revolution, the newly announced Swerve Strickland vs. Brody King and Andrade El Idolo vs. Bandido matchups, and the absolutely bonkers 10-man tag “Mile High Madness” main event that somehow capped it all.
And because modern wrestling never exists in a vacuum, the episode also tackles the looming business-side chaos: will Paramount Global really acquire Warner Bros. Discovery? In-ring insanity, corporate uncertainty, and a weekly show that feels like it’s daring history to keep up—this episode breaks down why AEW Dynamite feels different right now, and why fans can’t look away.

Two fans, three thousand miles away.

00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:16.260
We each been watching for more than
8
00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:17.180
thirty years.
9
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.880
Celebrate the art form.
10
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:22.620
The homo-eroticism.
11
00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:24.360
We hate great magic.
12
00:00:24.860 --> 00:00:26.380
We hate analyzing stories.
13
00:00:27.020 --> 00:00:27.900
We hate experts.
14
00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:31.740
We just sit down, shut up,
15
00:00:31.740 --> 00:00:32.900
and bark.
16
00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:41.460
Oh, everybody, and welcome to yet another edition of
17
00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:43.500

I'm Blade Daily.
19
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.020
Blade Goddamn Daily.
20
00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:49.360
And I'm hosting this pro wrestling
21
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:51.480
podcast about pro wrestling with
22
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:53.380
my three weeks in a row
23
00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:55.080
returning co-host,
24
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:57.600
Books and Body Slams.
25
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:58.960
Books, how you doing?
26
00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:01.420
I'm good, but you forgot to say I'm
27
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:03.640
different today. I'm timeless.
28
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.080
That's right. Books and Body Slams.
29
00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:07.260
You are timeless, Books and Body Slams.
30
00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:09.160
You're in black and white for the
31
00:01:09.160 --> 00:01:10.660
non-visual listeners.
32
00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:12.840
Books is in black and white on the screen.
33
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:14.960
It's very cool.
34
00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:17.160
It's this hip new thing that
35
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:18.880
all the kids are doing. And so,
36
00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:21.020
Books is doing it too. I'm like
37
00:01:21.020 --> 00:01:23.120
the Steve Buscemi, you know,
38
00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:24.880
meme like, hello fellow kids.
39
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.340
Also, by the way,
40
00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:28.860
Steve Buscemi
41
00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:31.080
hosts this
42
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:33.160
Apple podcast, podcast
43
00:01:33.820 --> 00:01:35.360
about people who like
44
00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:36.820
famous thieves and stuff.
45
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.600
And he said Buscemi.
46
00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:41.280
And I'm like, your name's been Steve Buscemi this whole
47
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.200
time and everybody pronounces it wrong.
48
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.180
He decided now
49
00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:47.040
to correct us? Yeah, it's like,
50
00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:49.360
and he's not even really being super
51
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:51.480
out there about it. He's just like
52
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.200
when I say it,
53
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.000
I say it correct. So, you know,
54
00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:57.160
it's like a
55
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.240
Martin.
56
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:01.540
Anyway, we're not going to get into all that.
57
00:02:02.140 --> 00:02:03.280
Kind of rude.
58
00:02:03.460 --> 00:02:04.560
Books, how have you been?
59
00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:06.940
You know, just
60
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.380
well, I have a migraine. I didn't have hot
61
00:02:09.380 --> 00:02:11.320
water till yesterday. Yeah.
62
00:02:11.380 --> 00:02:13.540
I'm feisty. Yeah.
63
00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:15.660
Yeah. Well, and that's
64
00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:17.460
the thing. We didn't tell everybody we
65
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:19.120
are going to fucking fight today.
66
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.300
We are. Well, we might.
67
00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:23.420
I don't know. Who knows? Anything could
68
00:02:23.420 --> 00:02:25.700
happen on Sit Down, Shut Up, Mark Out. I mean, literally
69
00:02:25.700 --> 00:02:26.660
anything could happen.
70
00:02:27.140 --> 00:02:29.640
That's why the people need to tune in
71
00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:32.180
live on Fridays at 6 p.m.
72
00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:33.740
Eastern, 3 p.m.
73
00:02:33.820 --> 00:02:35.560
Pacific on the Sit Down, Shut Up, Mark
74
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.680
Out YouTube channel. Thank you to those
75
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.180
who are here.
76
00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:41.700
And books, I
77
00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:43.760
think we should start this with
78
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:44.740
a simple question.
79
00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:47.580
OK. Why can't we have
80
00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:48.300
nice things?
81
00:02:49.900 --> 00:02:51.380
Because we live in America.
82
00:02:52.220 --> 00:02:53.640
Why does it feel like
83
00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:55.800
everything that's good and
84
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:57.600
decent about the world, everything that
85
00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:59.580
you love, everything that you
86
00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:01.700
have genuine passion for
87
00:03:01.700 --> 00:03:03.720
could just be taken away at a moment's notice?
88
00:03:04.700 --> 00:03:05.740
Did you see who we
89
00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:07.620
elected president? Yeah.
90
00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:09.600
I mean, I
91
00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:11.940
didn't vote for him. We didn't vote for him.
92
00:03:11.940 --> 00:03:13.500
Right. Right. But like
93
00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:15.540
as a whole, this country voted
94
00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:17.920
for this man and
95
00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:19.520
we're suffering.
96
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.680
This is karmic retribution.
97
00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:23.740
Yeah.
98
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.160
Yeah.
99
00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:27.180
This. Yeah.
100
00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:28.860
This feels like karmic retribution.
101
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.340
So what I'm talking
102
00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:33.100
about is it was announced
103
00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:35.300
yesterday by Netflix. They sent out their own
104
00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:37.140
press release and
105
00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:39.240
they're like, we are walking away from
106
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.180
this deal that we were sure
107
00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:43.160
we were going to get that they rightfully should
108
00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:45.660
have gotten because they
109
00:03:45.660 --> 00:03:47.560
were approved by the board of
110
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:49.280
WBD to be
111
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.240
the winning bidder that they thought
112
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.440
the most value would come from the Netflix deal.
113
00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:56.640
And they were outbid
114
00:03:56.640 --> 00:03:58.340
by one billion
115
00:03:58.340 --> 00:03:59.680
dollars, I believe
116
00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:02.220
something like that.
117
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:03.020
And
118
00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:04.840
what's weird
119
00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:07.940
is that Netflix wasn't going to buy
120
00:04:07.940 --> 00:04:10.180
their linear television channels.
121
00:04:10.300 --> 00:04:11.160
Right.
122
00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:13.680
And then they
123
00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:15.960
added one billion dollars above
124
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.740
Netflix like Paramount
125
00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:18.300
did.
126
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:21.640
But that includes the channels. So didn't
127
00:04:21.640 --> 00:04:24.000
they actually make less per like thing?
128
00:04:24.780 --> 00:04:25.140
I would
129
00:04:25.140 --> 00:04:27.640
I would think yes, because
130
00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:31.800
one billion for all their TV networks
131
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.540
doesn't seem like that good of a deal.
132
00:04:33.640 --> 00:04:35.480
But I don't know
133
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.160
who am I to
134
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.800
who am I to say? Who amongst us
135
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.800
has that qualification, right?
136
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.820
To answer. It's very
137
00:04:43.820 --> 00:04:45.860
weird. It's very shitty. It's very
138
00:04:45.860 --> 00:04:47.760
corporate consolidation is
139
00:04:47.760 --> 00:04:49.520
just bad. Okay.
140
00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:51.680
Monopolies are not good for anyone.
141
00:04:51.820 --> 00:04:53.660
I don't know why people are celebrating
142
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:55.180
this thinking like
143
00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:57.620
I mean, it was already bad enough that
144
00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.520
we were rooting for Netflix. Yeah.
145
00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:01.540
We're rooting for the bad guys.
146
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.580
Just the slightly lesser bad guys.
147
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.360
The lesser of two evils.
148
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.620
Which seems to be, I don't
149
00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:09.400
know, the motto of America right now.
150
00:05:09.900 --> 00:05:10.660
Right. Right.
151
00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:15.410
So, you know,
152
00:05:15.430 --> 00:05:16.110
Monopolies are bad.
153
00:05:17.090 --> 00:05:19.470
Monopolies are very bad. And
154
00:05:19.470 --> 00:05:21.610
AEW has clearly identified their
155
00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:23.730
demo as being not
156
00:05:23.730 --> 00:05:25.950
MAGA, right? So like
157
00:05:26.550 --> 00:05:27.670
Yes. Paramount
158
00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:29.510
is owned by the Ellisons who are in
159
00:05:29.510 --> 00:05:31.650
the pocket of Donald Trump. Donald Trump, who very
160
00:05:31.650 --> 00:05:32.530
publicly
161
00:05:33.610 --> 00:05:35.550
meddled in these negotiations
162
00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:37.470
and said that he wanted
163
00:05:38.470 --> 00:05:39.550
Paramount to win,
164
00:05:39.790 --> 00:05:41.530
which is weird. Presidents shouldn't be
165
00:05:41.530 --> 00:05:43.750
doing that. Right. That's none of their fucking business.
166
00:05:44.870 --> 00:05:45.170
Right.
167
00:05:45.630 --> 00:05:47.530
This definitely feels like market rigging.
168
00:05:47.530 --> 00:05:50.030
You know, so surprise,
169
00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:51.670
surprise, surprise.
170
00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:55.970
Yeah. A bit bruchet
171
00:05:55.970 --> 00:05:57.530
in the chat. Finger guns up for
172
00:05:57.530 --> 00:05:59.870
Messickos Club Gold members!
173
00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:01.810
That's right. That's right. Thank you
174
00:06:01.810 --> 00:06:03.550
A bit bruchet. Nice to have you with us.
175
00:06:05.790 --> 00:06:07.550
Yeah. So
176
00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:08.730
basically
177
00:06:10.130 --> 00:06:11.650
we don't know what this means
178
00:06:11.650 --> 00:06:13.090
for the future of AEW.
179
00:06:13.530 --> 00:06:15.510
There was a lot of people kind of venting
180
00:06:15.510 --> 00:06:17.470
some fear and some doubt
181
00:06:17.470 --> 00:06:19.470
about what the future holds
182
00:06:19.470 --> 00:06:21.550
for AEW. I feel like you're calling
183
00:06:21.550 --> 00:06:23.450
me out. Well, Books, you
184
00:06:23.450 --> 00:06:25.390
weren't the only person in my feed doing that, but
185
00:06:25.390 --> 00:06:27.530
I will say you were in my feed the most
186
00:06:27.530 --> 00:06:28.810
doing. Yeah.
187
00:06:29.150 --> 00:06:31.870
Well, that's because I get annoyed when people
188
00:06:33.250 --> 00:06:35.530
tell people not to have reactions.
189
00:06:35.850 --> 00:06:37.930
Well, and so
190
00:06:38.490 --> 00:06:39.690
and so this is
191
00:06:39.690 --> 00:06:41.490
this is where Books and I
192
00:06:41.490 --> 00:06:43.070
fight. Yeah, this is good.
193
00:06:43.070 --> 00:06:45.090
So I make a post
194
00:06:45.090 --> 00:06:47.350
in reaction to that because I'm
195
00:06:47.350 --> 00:06:49.330
overwhelmed by this news and kind of freaked out,
196
00:06:49.330 --> 00:06:51.090
right? Oh, oh, yeah.
197
00:06:51.490 --> 00:06:52.690
Like to me,
198
00:06:52.810 --> 00:06:55.190
my AEW reaction was
199
00:06:55.190 --> 00:06:57.290
because I was in shock. Yeah.
200
00:06:58.330 --> 00:06:59.250
About like
201
00:06:59.250 --> 00:07:00.950
literally the idea of a state-run
202
00:07:00.950 --> 00:07:03.390
media company. Which should
203
00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:05.310
is the most important
204
00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:07.170
part of this entire thing, right?
205
00:07:07.270 --> 00:07:09.090
Is like these guys already have
206
00:07:09.090 --> 00:07:11.030
Fox News doing their bidding. They already have
207
00:07:11.030 --> 00:07:13.290
Newsmax doing their bidding. Now they want
208
00:07:13.290 --> 00:07:14.950
CNN doing their bidding. Yeah.
209
00:07:15.390 --> 00:07:17.090
And that's the whole point of this whole
210
00:07:17.090 --> 00:07:18.710
deal is to get CNN, right?
211
00:07:18.930 --> 00:07:21.170
Like the greatness of HBO
212
00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:23.190
and all those other things are just
213
00:07:23.190 --> 00:07:25.090
complimentary. It means nothing to them.
214
00:07:25.090 --> 00:07:26.950
They don't care about the DC aspect. They don't
215
00:07:26.950 --> 00:07:29.170
care about, you know, that other
216
00:07:29.170 --> 00:07:30.690
property they own.
217
00:07:30.870 --> 00:07:32.130
That's about magic.
218
00:07:32.950 --> 00:07:35.270
They don't care about the Game of Thrones of it all. They literally
219
00:07:35.270 --> 00:07:36.730
only care about CNN.
220
00:07:36.950 --> 00:07:39.010
Yep. And to me,
221
00:07:39.010 --> 00:07:40.890
it's a much bigger, like,
222
00:07:40.930 --> 00:07:41.770
holy shit.
223
00:07:43.330 --> 00:07:45.030
They're not going to
224
00:07:45.030 --> 00:07:46.710
care about half of these properties.
225
00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:48.550
Right. No. I mean, I think
226
00:07:48.550 --> 00:07:50.930
you know, look, at the end
227
00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:52.670
of the day, Paramount's not making any money
228
00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:55.050
at all. Just doing
229
00:07:55.050 --> 00:07:56.510
anything. They're like severely
230
00:07:56.510 --> 00:07:58.850
in debt. I don't know how they're doing this, but. Right.
231
00:07:59.110 --> 00:08:01.230
Right. Paramount Plus loses money
232
00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:02.390
every quarter.
233
00:08:02.650 --> 00:08:05.070
Just like Peacock just has lost billions
234
00:08:05.070 --> 00:08:07.070
of dollars just continuously.
235
00:08:07.070 --> 00:08:09.150
So I think
236
00:08:09.150 --> 00:08:11.550
it'll be interesting to see what actually comes
237
00:08:11.550 --> 00:08:13.890
of any of this. But
238
00:08:13.890 --> 00:08:15.850
there I did notice on
239
00:08:15.850 --> 00:08:17.330
MS Now yesterday
240
00:08:17.330 --> 00:08:19.810
that House Representative Jamie Raskin
241
00:08:19.810 --> 00:08:21.530
was asked about this merger
242
00:08:21.530 --> 00:08:23.890
and he was very, very
243
00:08:23.890 --> 00:08:25.630
unhappy with that
244
00:08:25.630 --> 00:08:27.490
result and said that they
245
00:08:27.490 --> 00:08:29.390
need to really enforce antitrust
246
00:08:29.390 --> 00:08:31.190
laws. And it's like, duh, no shit,
247
00:08:31.310 --> 00:08:32.409
motherfucker. But
248
00:08:33.070 --> 00:08:35.270
why is this like
249
00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:37.530
not a thing we're already doing? Right.
250
00:08:37.710 --> 00:08:39.429
Why is it like when these things
251
00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:41.690
happen, we're like, oh, no, no, we should do this.
252
00:08:41.950 --> 00:08:43.230
The platform that
253
00:08:43.230 --> 00:08:44.870
never should have been allowed to happen.
254
00:08:45.050 --> 00:08:47.290
Right. Well, I mean, consider the platform
255
00:08:47.290 --> 00:08:49.270
that we are currently broadcasting on.
256
00:08:50.390 --> 00:08:51.290
Antitrust, right?
257
00:08:51.390 --> 00:08:53.550
Like we're talking about all kinds of shit here.
258
00:08:53.850 --> 00:08:55.450
And it's across
259
00:08:55.450 --> 00:08:57.310
political parties. It really doesn't matter.
260
00:08:57.510 --> 00:08:59.490
It's just gotten completely
261
00:08:59.490 --> 00:09:01.190
non-enforced for
262
00:09:01.190 --> 00:09:03.530
decades. It shouldn't be a political
263
00:09:03.530 --> 00:09:05.550
party thing to be worried about
264
00:09:06.510 --> 00:09:07.610
monopolies. Right.
265
00:09:07.610 --> 00:09:09.450
Monopolies should scare everyone regardless
266
00:09:09.450 --> 00:09:11.470
of your political party. Yeah.
267
00:09:11.470 --> 00:09:13.670
And I think when you look at how CBS has changed
268
00:09:13.670 --> 00:09:15.590
since Paramount acquired it,
269
00:09:15.690 --> 00:09:17.410
it's been real bad.
270
00:09:18.090 --> 00:09:19.490
And so, you know, there's
271
00:09:19.490 --> 00:09:21.710
ample reason to be afraid. But wrestling fans
272
00:09:21.710 --> 00:09:24.010
were afraid of
273
00:09:24.010 --> 00:09:25.470
what this means for AEW
274
00:09:25.470 --> 00:09:27.410
and rightfully so. I think there's
275
00:09:27.410 --> 00:09:29.690
very reasonable concerns to be had there.
276
00:09:30.990 --> 00:09:33.790
We also have to, can't forget that
277
00:09:33.790 --> 00:09:35.570
the cons have been kind of outspoken too.
278
00:09:36.090 --> 00:09:37.030
Well, they have.
279
00:09:37.350 --> 00:09:39.310
Yeah. No, I mean, they could have enemies
280
00:09:39.310 --> 00:09:41.010
potentially at this new company.
281
00:09:42.290 --> 00:09:43.190
What we know
282
00:09:43.690 --> 00:09:44.690
for sure
283
00:09:44.690 --> 00:09:47.250
is that AEW has at least one
284
00:09:47.250 --> 00:09:48.630
more year left on their deal.
285
00:09:48.730 --> 00:09:50.930
And I think it will probably take
286
00:09:50.930 --> 00:09:52.990
quite a while for this merger to go through
287
00:09:52.990 --> 00:09:53.990
if it does.
288
00:09:55.330 --> 00:09:57.270
There is ample evidence
289
00:09:57.270 --> 00:09:59.210
that there could be some resistance to this deal
290
00:09:59.210 --> 00:10:00.830
going through because
291
00:10:00.830 --> 00:10:03.370
how do you not call this
292
00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:04.870
anti-competitive at this point?
293
00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:06.030
They just bought CBS.
294
00:10:07.110 --> 00:10:09.350
Now they want the entire
295
00:10:09.350 --> 00:10:10.650
WBD as well.
296
00:10:11.170 --> 00:10:13.390
That's pretty intense.
297
00:10:14.770 --> 00:10:15.090
CBS,
298
00:10:15.270 --> 00:10:17.730
I think, is going to be the thing that bites from the ass on this.
299
00:10:18.190 --> 00:10:18.370
Right.
300
00:10:19.610 --> 00:10:21.350
So there's going to be
301
00:10:21.350 --> 00:10:23.290
some resistance to this. I don't know
302
00:10:23.290 --> 00:10:24.850
if that'll make a difference or not.
303
00:10:25.290 --> 00:10:27.390
What it means for AEW is
304
00:10:27.390 --> 00:10:29.650
we do know that WBD
305
00:10:29.650 --> 00:10:31.330
owns some kind of stake
306
00:10:31.330 --> 00:10:32.370
in AEW.
307
00:10:33.250 --> 00:10:35.330
However, it is less than 10 percent because if
308
00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:37.490
it was more than 10 percent, they would have had to report
309
00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:38.410
it publicly.
310
00:10:40.050 --> 00:10:41.410
So there's no way
311
00:10:41.410 --> 00:10:42.690
of really knowing
312
00:10:43.510 --> 00:10:45.190
what's going to happen. So I'm not going to
313
00:10:45.190 --> 00:10:47.010
prognosticate too much.
314
00:10:47.750 --> 00:10:48.630
The idea...
315
00:10:48.630 --> 00:10:50.730
That's why I didn't go to Super Doom and Gloom.
316
00:10:50.910 --> 00:10:52.810
I'm not going to say AEW is over.
317
00:10:53.150 --> 00:10:55.690
No. And I did see people saying that.
318
00:10:55.690 --> 00:10:57.390
Oh yeah, I saw a lot of people.
319
00:10:57.530 --> 00:10:59.290
I'm like, okay, that's an extreme.
320
00:10:59.610 --> 00:11:01.330
Do I think AEW could potentially
321
00:11:01.330 --> 00:11:03.430
change under paramount ownership?
322
00:11:05.730 --> 00:11:07.090
Under paramount
323
00:11:07.090 --> 00:11:08.110
broadcasting?
324
00:11:08.450 --> 00:11:09.550
I do.
325
00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:11.730
I think that they may
326
00:11:12.290 --> 00:11:13.590
in order, especially
327
00:11:13.590 --> 00:11:16.170
because of Trump's relationship
328
00:11:16.170 --> 00:11:17.630
with another company,
329
00:11:19.270 --> 00:11:22.250
might be doing some ear whispering.
330
00:11:22.930 --> 00:11:23.890
But that's what
331
00:11:23.890 --> 00:11:26.350
worries me is what could potentially change.
332
00:11:26.890 --> 00:11:27.950
What has made AEW
333
00:11:27.950 --> 00:11:29.170
special could change.
334
00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:31.470
Well, yes, and I think
335
00:11:32.550 --> 00:11:34.170
probably it would be more of a
336
00:11:34.170 --> 00:11:35.970
prohibition on things that they've done
337
00:11:35.970 --> 00:11:37.970
in the past that have gotten
338
00:11:37.970 --> 00:11:40.290
them a ton of great press and a ton of
339
00:11:40.290 --> 00:11:41.870
other things. But you and I were talking before
340
00:11:41.870 --> 00:11:42.630
we started.
341
00:11:43.690 --> 00:11:45.330
South Park is also owned
342
00:11:46.210 --> 00:11:47.930
on a paramount network right
343
00:11:47.930 --> 00:11:50.050
now. Maybe they don't give
344
00:11:50.050 --> 00:11:51.950
a shit and they don't care if their deal runs
345
00:11:51.950 --> 00:11:53.730
out and they don't get renewed. Maybe.
346
00:11:54.730 --> 00:11:55.930
Well, I thought
347
00:11:56.850 --> 00:11:58.030
the way they're
348
00:11:58.030 --> 00:12:00.090
doing their seasons right now is because they want
349
00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:01.970
to be done. Well, I mean, maybe.
350
00:12:02.310 --> 00:12:03.230
It's possible.
351
00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:05.550
But I would also say
352
00:12:05.550 --> 00:12:08.230
the Daily Show is also on a paramount
353
00:12:08.230 --> 00:12:10.050
network. There are people
354
00:12:10.050 --> 00:12:12.050
speaking out against these guys who are
355
00:12:12.050 --> 00:12:14.110
on paramount. So I don't know that it's a
356
00:12:14.110 --> 00:12:16.170
foregone conclusion that AEW would be
357
00:12:16.170 --> 00:12:18.310
cancelled. It's more just the
358
00:12:18.310 --> 00:12:20.350
Trump-McMahon
359
00:12:20.350 --> 00:12:22.550
relationship and. Right.
360
00:12:23.570 --> 00:12:24.650
Feeling like McMan
361
00:12:24.650 --> 00:12:26.510
is the McMahons are trying to get
362
00:12:26.510 --> 00:12:27.930
their hands
363
00:12:27.930 --> 00:12:30.750
in via Trump. Who knows?
364
00:12:31.030 --> 00:12:32.370
Who knows? And
365
00:12:32.370 --> 00:12:34.510
I would think AEW would be relatively
366
00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:36.470
small potatoes in the midst of all this
367
00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:38.450
honestly. But
368
00:12:39.610 --> 00:12:40.710
what I just
369
00:12:40.710 --> 00:12:42.330
want to say is
370
00:12:42.330 --> 00:12:44.410
I think AEW fans
371
00:12:44.410 --> 00:12:46.430
and books you and I were messaging about this this
372
00:12:47.030 --> 00:12:48.750
morning. AEW
373
00:12:48.750 --> 00:12:50.870
fans are perpetually scared of AEW
374
00:12:50.870 --> 00:12:52.790
going away because
375
00:12:52.790 --> 00:12:54.890
there has been so many people saying
376
00:12:54.890 --> 00:12:56.770
all their ratings suck or blah, blah, blah.
377
00:12:56.930 --> 00:12:58.770
And AEW is such a relief. They're not going to be here
378
00:12:58.770 --> 00:13:00.590
in a year. Yeah.
379
00:13:00.950 --> 00:13:02.910
Yeah. I really do
380
00:13:02.910 --> 00:13:04.770
think that there is
381
00:13:04.770 --> 00:13:06.730
something to be taken from all this, which
382
00:13:07.590 --> 00:13:08.850
is Tony Khan
383
00:13:08.850 --> 00:13:10.870
is a very wealthy man.
384
00:13:12.350 --> 00:13:12.830
Extremely
385
00:13:12.830 --> 00:13:14.750
wealthy. Okay. Like could
386
00:13:14.750 --> 00:13:16.410
buy his own network wealthy.
387
00:13:16.410 --> 00:13:18.610
All right. You know, it's not the Ellison's
388
00:13:18.970 --> 00:13:20.610
personal wealth that they're going to buy
389
00:13:20.610 --> 00:13:22.890
WBD with. You know, it's always
390
00:13:22.890 --> 00:13:25.130
through some kind of complicated
391
00:13:25.130 --> 00:13:27.610
scheme. You know, so
392
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:28.770
Tony Khan has the kind
393
00:13:28.770 --> 00:13:30.690
of money to do something crazy
394
00:13:30.690 --> 00:13:32.650
if he really wanted to. And I don't think this
395
00:13:32.650 --> 00:13:34.470
man will ever give up on AEW. He's already
396
00:13:34.470 --> 00:13:36.270
said. Oh, no, I don't think he would. It's why
397
00:13:36.270 --> 00:13:38.590
I started all my posts with. I hope
398
00:13:39.590 --> 00:13:40.490
Tony Khan has
399
00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:41.630
his backup plan.
400
00:13:43.250 --> 00:13:44.590
Like because that's what
401
00:13:44.590 --> 00:13:46.610
I want. I want his
402
00:13:46.610 --> 00:13:48.730
backup plan. Whatever is going
403
00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:50.770
through his crazy little nerdy
404
00:13:50.770 --> 00:13:54.170
mind right now, that's what I
405
00:13:54.170 --> 00:13:56.310
want. I don't want to not watch,
406
00:13:56.310 --> 00:13:58.270
but I don't support Paramount. I don't
407
00:13:58.270 --> 00:14:00.030
support state-run
408
00:14:01.090 --> 00:14:02.130
fascism media
409
00:14:02.130 --> 00:14:03.070
companies.
410
00:14:05.690 --> 00:14:06.350
So, AEW
411
00:14:06.350 --> 00:14:08.470
is going to be, unfortunately, a casualty
412
00:14:08.470 --> 00:14:09.870
because of that. For me,
413
00:14:10.110 --> 00:14:12.250
I'm not saying for everyone, I want
414
00:14:12.250 --> 00:14:14.030
people to still support them. Right.
415
00:14:15.070 --> 00:14:17.290
Well, I guess that's what I wanted to make clear
416
00:14:17.290 --> 00:14:19.150
to the people listening is, you know, your
417
00:14:19.150 --> 00:14:20.970
stance on this currently is like
418
00:14:20.970 --> 00:14:22.970
if they're on Paramount
419
00:14:22.970 --> 00:14:25.190
or if Paramount takes over
420
00:14:25.190 --> 00:14:27.210
HBO or whatever, I'm not watching
421
00:14:27.210 --> 00:14:28.590
anymore. I'm not watching.
422
00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:31.050
And for me, it's more like I just can't
423
00:14:31.050 --> 00:14:32.910
say right now what I'll do.
424
00:14:33.030 --> 00:14:35.090
But it very much
425
00:14:35.090 --> 00:14:37.110
is disturbing to me and
426
00:14:37.110 --> 00:14:38.850
symptomatic of a huge problem
427
00:14:38.850 --> 00:14:40.770
in our country right now
428
00:14:40.770 --> 00:14:42.930
at large. I guess
429
00:14:42.930 --> 00:14:45.090
the important point to make is
430
00:14:45.090 --> 00:14:46.270
look, we
431
00:14:47.070 --> 00:14:49.230
we don't know. It's all speculation.
432
00:14:49.230 --> 00:14:50.930
And we won't know for
433
00:14:50.930 --> 00:14:52.990
quite a while, you know, how this is all
434
00:14:52.990 --> 00:14:55.050
going to work out. I think AEW
435
00:14:55.050 --> 00:14:56.990
what I guess is important for me
436
00:14:56.990 --> 00:14:59.170
to say is, AEW has a very
437
00:14:59.170 --> 00:15:00.210
loyal audience.
438
00:15:00.790 --> 00:15:03.250
An incredibly loyal audience and an audience
439
00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:05.410
that is willing to pay a lot of money.
440
00:15:06.290 --> 00:15:07.110
Yeah. I would
441
00:15:07.110 --> 00:15:08.950
totally pay for a streaming service.
442
00:15:09.290 --> 00:15:11.150
Yes. And so that is a huge
443
00:15:11.150 --> 00:15:13.210
selling point to anywhere else they decide
444
00:15:13.210 --> 00:15:15.230
to go. You know, so if
445
00:15:15.230 --> 00:15:17.450
they end up going to
446
00:15:17.450 --> 00:15:19.630
Amazon or somewhere else,
447
00:15:20.430 --> 00:15:21.330
I'll pay for it.
448
00:15:21.490 --> 00:15:23.410
They would be interested. I could at least
449
00:15:23.410 --> 00:15:25.250
there would be discussions. I could promise
450
00:15:25.250 --> 00:15:27.490
you that. So, you know,
451
00:15:27.490 --> 00:15:29.170
I'm not sure if TK has
452
00:15:29.170 --> 00:15:31.230
seen this coming down the pike for a long time
453
00:15:31.230 --> 00:15:33.270
or if you know how well established
454
00:15:33.270 --> 00:15:35.310
he is with other people. I
455
00:15:35.310 --> 00:15:37.070
assume. Well, we know he has a good relationship
456
00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:39.110
with Amazon, the NFL and
457
00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:40.550
the pay per view. So I mean, like
458
00:15:41.110 --> 00:15:43.410
as much as it sucks, at least
459
00:15:43.410 --> 00:15:45.090
Amazon is a backup. There
460
00:15:45.090 --> 00:15:47.470
is him creating his own
461
00:15:47.470 --> 00:15:49.110
streaming service, which I
462
00:15:50.010 --> 00:15:51.290
to me, I think that's
463
00:15:51.290 --> 00:15:52.990
the best because that can be worldwide
464
00:15:52.990 --> 00:15:55.350
as opposed to
465
00:15:55.350 --> 00:15:57.330
what not. But
466
00:15:58.990 --> 00:16:01.250
you know, TV brings in a lot
467
00:16:01.250 --> 00:16:02.670
of money. Yeah.
468
00:16:03.470 --> 00:16:05.110
Revenue for them. So I
469
00:16:05.110 --> 00:16:07.290
can see him trying to find
470
00:16:07.290 --> 00:16:10.030
another home. But
471
00:16:10.030 --> 00:16:11.590
I think he has to have somebody
472
00:16:11.590 --> 00:16:13.410
in it with him. I think, you know,
473
00:16:13.410 --> 00:16:15.390
at this point, him having his own streaming
474
00:16:15.390 --> 00:16:17.410
service, I could see him doing it. I mean, he already
475
00:16:17.410 --> 00:16:19.410
has the watch our way, you know, the our way
476
00:16:19.410 --> 00:16:21.350
chat, but he still needs
477
00:16:21.350 --> 00:16:23.430
the exposure from television. Yeah.
478
00:16:23.450 --> 00:16:25.510
And he needs he needs advertisers paying
479
00:16:25.510 --> 00:16:27.270
him, you know. So
480
00:16:27.270 --> 00:16:29.730
how they work all that out
481
00:16:29.730 --> 00:16:31.290
is really just
482
00:16:32.330 --> 00:16:33.750
and this also could not go
483
00:16:33.750 --> 00:16:35.570
through. And
484
00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:38.150
yeah, let's hope and let's hope
485
00:16:38.150 --> 00:16:39.870
for that. Let's hope for that.
486
00:16:40.330 --> 00:16:41.570
You know, I know that David Zaslav
487
00:16:42.790 --> 00:16:44.050
who, you know,
488
00:16:44.050 --> 00:16:46.070
is the head of WBD currently and one of
489
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:48.090
the most unpopular people in show business.
490
00:16:48.430 --> 00:16:50.130
He didn't want to put
491
00:16:50.130 --> 00:16:51.830
a WBD on the market.
492
00:16:52.050 --> 00:16:53.930
Like that wasn't really his intention.
493
00:16:54.510 --> 00:16:55.910
It's just Paramount
494
00:16:55.910 --> 00:16:57.950
and a few others made so much noise about
495
00:16:57.950 --> 00:16:59.870
it that yeah, they kind of
496
00:16:59.870 --> 00:17:01.810
forced their hands. Yeah, he couldn't
497
00:17:01.810 --> 00:17:04.010
in clear conscience tell the
498
00:17:04.010 --> 00:17:06.170
investors, the stockholders that
499
00:17:06.170 --> 00:17:08.089
they were making every attempt to get them the most
500
00:17:08.089 --> 00:17:09.890
money on their return if he didn't try.
501
00:17:10.210 --> 00:17:11.569
Can I say one thing
502
00:17:11.569 --> 00:17:13.869
attacking someone because they stated their
503
00:17:13.869 --> 00:17:15.970
personal opinion is not OK.
504
00:17:16.589 --> 00:17:17.910
Like I'm not I'm not sitting
505
00:17:17.910 --> 00:17:19.930
well, you know, I'm going to
506
00:17:19.930 --> 00:17:22.010
retro that a little bit. I'm
507
00:17:22.010 --> 00:17:23.950
not saying anything hateful
508
00:17:23.950 --> 00:17:25.869
or racist or
509
00:17:25.869 --> 00:17:28.349
full of like bigotry.
510
00:17:28.349 --> 00:17:29.850
I'm stating an opinion
511
00:17:29.850 --> 00:17:31.870
and I think attacking me
512
00:17:33.210 --> 00:17:34.790
shows you need therapy.
513
00:17:35.830 --> 00:17:36.710
That's all.
514
00:17:37.090 --> 00:17:39.090
That's it, y'all. Like there is
515
00:17:39.090 --> 00:17:40.870
there is plenty to be upset about
516
00:17:40.870 --> 00:17:42.870
in the world right now and
517
00:17:43.630 --> 00:17:44.830
not attacking someone
518
00:17:44.830 --> 00:17:46.470
for standing on her morals.
519
00:17:46.790 --> 00:17:48.910
I saw people I saw people getting in
520
00:17:48.910 --> 00:17:50.810
fights all over the place about this, you know,
521
00:17:50.810 --> 00:17:52.990
and it's like, you know, look
522
00:17:52.990 --> 00:17:54.810
like we're all a community.
523
00:17:54.810 --> 00:17:56.750
We're all online, you know, trying
524
00:17:56.750 --> 00:17:58.830
to share some space together and share some time
525
00:17:58.830 --> 00:18:00.750
together. And that's cool. We're all
526
00:18:00.750 --> 00:18:02.210
dealing with it our own way.
527
00:18:03.770 --> 00:18:04.910
And you have to
528
00:18:04.910 --> 00:18:06.890
let people deal with their emotions
529
00:18:06.890 --> 00:18:08.650
their own way, right?
530
00:18:08.650 --> 00:18:10.610
Whether it is like, OK,
531
00:18:10.610 --> 00:18:12.430
well, I can't support this
532
00:18:13.390 --> 00:18:15.770
or I'm going to be
533
00:18:15.770 --> 00:18:16.490
optimistic.
534
00:18:16.730 --> 00:18:19.150
Talking to you last night was like
535
00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:20.470
made me feel better
536
00:18:20.470 --> 00:18:22.690
because you are half full and I'm half empty.
537
00:18:23.390 --> 00:18:24.590
You need those
538
00:18:24.590 --> 00:18:25.610
conversations.
539
00:18:26.750 --> 00:18:28.710
Yep. Yep. And I just I think at the
540
00:18:28.710 --> 00:18:30.590
end of the day, it's like, you know,
541
00:18:30.650 --> 00:18:32.510
there's reasons to be concerned, certainly.
542
00:18:32.770 --> 00:18:34.550
You know, they're very valid reasons.
543
00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:36.490
And at the same time, I think it's just
544
00:18:36.490 --> 00:18:38.730
it's the hardest part is that we don't have any
545
00:18:38.730 --> 00:18:40.570
answers and we're not going to for a while.
546
00:18:41.570 --> 00:18:42.910
So yeah, that's
547
00:18:42.910 --> 00:18:44.730
if one more person tells me
548
00:18:44.730 --> 00:18:46.770
this is going to take a while, though, I might actually
549
00:18:46.770 --> 00:18:47.890
go full blown heel.
550
00:18:50.020 --> 00:18:51.760
I know it's going to take a while.
551
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:54.260
Yes. Yes. So it's we
552
00:18:54.260 --> 00:18:56.140
that's the shittiest part, though, is we
553
00:18:56.140 --> 00:18:58.420
won't know anything. We won't know forever.
554
00:18:58.420 --> 00:19:00.840
And if their TV deal is up in a year,
555
00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:02.480
so many things can happen. Right.
556
00:19:02.780 --> 00:19:04.680
But that's the last thing
557
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.540
I had to say is really just like
558
00:19:06.540 --> 00:19:08.780
in the time it will take this merger to complete
559
00:19:08.780 --> 00:19:10.620
everything could change five
560
00:19:10.620 --> 00:19:12.640
different times with this with the way
561
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.580
America works right now. Everything
562
00:19:14.580 --> 00:19:16.820
is Trump's on his back on his heels.
563
00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:18.740
No, Trump's exerting ultimate
564
00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:20.560
power over all of us. He's going to cancel
565
00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:22.660
the elections. I mean, one day
566
00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:24.560
to the next is so drastically
567
00:19:24.560 --> 00:19:26.720
different. Who even knows
568
00:19:27.280 --> 00:19:28.480
who even knows?
569
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.620
Well, yeah, that's yeah.
570
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:32.660
So yes, too
571
00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:34.540
fat to cook with the Tom Petty.
572
00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:36.720
The Tom Petty drop waiting is
573
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.080
the hardest part. That is true.
574
00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:40.640
Yeah. So, you know, however you
575
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.640
get through this, get through this, don't hate on
576
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.560
each other. Let's let's try to be
577
00:19:44.560 --> 00:19:46.700
I'm more riled up about people hating
578
00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:48.780
on me than the actual
579
00:19:49.780 --> 00:19:50.660
like shitting
580
00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:52.980
on the actual news.
581
00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:54.900
Like, I didn't think I was going to get hate
582
00:19:55.580 --> 00:19:57.080
for just saying like, well,
583
00:19:57.080 --> 00:19:59.080
if this happens, I'm not going to watch.
584
00:19:59.540 --> 00:20:00.900
Right, right. Yeah.
585
00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:03.240
Well, it's it's surprising
586
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.260
what people are willing to hate over. But let's be honest,
587
00:20:05.320 --> 00:20:07.200
a lot of people are taking out their anxieties
588
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.780
on each other about
589
00:20:08.780 --> 00:20:11.040
bigger things. I'm being I'm trying
590
00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:12.900
to be nice to people like I'm God.
591
00:20:13.040 --> 00:20:15.060
I'm trying unless you tell me
592
00:20:15.060 --> 00:20:17.100
I'm a performative activist and then I'm going to put
593
00:20:17.100 --> 00:20:19.140
you on blast. Oh, boy. Oh,
594
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.360
Boy. Well,
595
00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:24.840
so something that is both
596
00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:26.620
performative, but also for very good
597
00:20:26.620 --> 00:20:28.200
reasons is this
598
00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:30.340
heel turn
599
00:20:30.340 --> 00:20:32.560
that we are witnessing from one swerve
600
00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:34.740
Strickland. OK, so
601
00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:36.700
is it a heel turn or is it
602
00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:38.440
just swerve?
603
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.560
Is it a heel turn or is it a U
604
00:20:40.560 --> 00:20:41.020
turn?
605
00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:44.180
So
606
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.640
one thing that I found kind
607
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:48.820
of confusing during swerves
608
00:20:48.820 --> 00:20:50.600
and I didn't dislike it at all.
609
00:20:50.600 --> 00:20:52.660
I just found it a little confusing was that
610
00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:54.560
he became progressively more baby
611
00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:56.740
facish over the last
612
00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:58.000
year and a half or so.
613
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.620
Was that hangman effect? And it was the hangman
614
00:21:00.620 --> 00:21:02.540
thing. I think there was something to them trying
615
00:21:02.540 --> 00:21:03.640
to resolve this.
616
00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:06.380
But on Dynamite, they showed
617
00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:08.400
the footage of swerve absolutely
618
00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:10.380
obliterating the god
619
00:21:10.380 --> 00:21:11.960
of pro wrestling, Kenny Omega.
620
00:21:12.300 --> 00:21:14.420
Why does AEW hate me? Why do they
621
00:21:14.420 --> 00:21:15.940
have to keep showing me this?
622
00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:18.400
And I thought
623
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:19.940
that there might be some like
624
00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:22.380
there might be some
625
00:21:22.380 --> 00:21:24.020
tension between swerve and Nana
626
00:21:24.020 --> 00:21:26.480
potentially because Nana looked kind of
627
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:28.720
surprised when swerve did what he did.
628
00:21:29.820 --> 00:21:30.340
That
629
00:21:30.340 --> 00:21:32.660
is not the case. So they're
630
00:21:32.660 --> 00:21:34.440
showing this video and what I really liked about
631
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.320
this was Nana coming out
632
00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:38.560
saying stop everything, stop everything.
633
00:21:39.600 --> 00:21:40.620
You know, say you
634
00:21:40.620 --> 00:21:42.440
need you all need to get out of
635
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:44.280
your spot. He made the announcer stand
636
00:21:44.280 --> 00:21:46.220
up, you know, which
637
00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:48.220
very unusual swerve
638
00:21:48.760 --> 00:21:50.680
and says welcome the most dangerous
639
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:52.340
man in AEW
640
00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:53.900
swerve Strickland.
641
00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:56.240
So they're already telling you this is what got Kenny
642
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.420
murked, right? Was saying
643
00:21:58.420 --> 00:21:59.860
swerve's not the most dangerous man.
644
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.220
And I think he touched a nerve
645
00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:04.460
obviously. So swerve
646
00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:06.320
comes out and basically says hey
647
00:22:06.320 --> 00:22:08.520
I thought you guys liked this about me
648
00:22:08.520 --> 00:22:10.120
except when it's one of your favorites,
649
00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:12.240
right? And
650
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.320
fair point, right? You know, I thought you
651
00:22:14.320 --> 00:22:16.020
guys liked killer swerve. I think
652
00:22:16.020 --> 00:22:18.480
you know, we turned on hangman
653
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:20.360
for swerve. Listen, I said
654
00:22:20.360 --> 00:22:22.280
Kenny deserved it.
655
00:22:22.280 --> 00:22:23.980
Wow. Like and I'm a Kenny mark
656
00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:26.360
and I joke about
657
00:22:26.360 --> 00:22:28.380
hating Don Callis on a daily basis because
658
00:22:28.380 --> 00:22:30.560
Kenny didn't deserve it. Wait, when it came to swerve,
659
00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:32.220
I'm like. So the Don hates
660
00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:32.800
a joke?
661
00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:36.260
No, no, no. I actually do hate Don Callis.
662
00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:38.700
I see. I see.
663
00:22:39.060 --> 00:22:40.460
Swerve I don't hate. Swerve
664
00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:41.880
I think Kenny probably
665
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.400
you know, Kenny's, you
666
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.220
know, implied that he was not
667
00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:47.300
the most dangerous man.
668
00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:50.000
Well, he didn't imply it. You don't say that to swerve.
669
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.880
He straight up said it. You know,
670
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:54.040
I mean, he said, you know, it's funny
671
00:22:54.040 --> 00:22:56.040
I don't think you are the most dangerous man. I think
672
00:22:56.040 --> 00:22:57.880
the most dangerous man right now is Brody King.
673
00:23:00.780 --> 00:23:02.020
shortly after this
674
00:23:02.020 --> 00:23:04.020
you see exactly why all of this was
675
00:23:04.020 --> 00:23:05.800
done. And it was really smart
676
00:23:05.800 --> 00:23:07.940
how it's all played out. Like the creative is
677
00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:09.780
just incredible right now.
678
00:23:09.780 --> 00:23:12.360
And swerve comes out and he's cutting
679
00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:14.160
a longer promo. And I
680
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.000
think this is something that's really unique
681
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.740
about the swerve Nana relationship.
682
00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:19.920
And I want to ask the listeners and I want
683
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:21.920
to ask the people watching
684
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:23.980
live right now what they think about this
685
00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:26.000
and want to get your take on it too books.
686
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:27.900
Swerve isn't
687
00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:30.480
necessarily always the most natural
688
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:31.800
like speaker. Sometimes
689
00:23:31.800 --> 00:23:33.860
he can stammer a little bit
690
00:23:33.860 --> 00:23:35.860
or whatever. And he cuts kind of one
691
00:23:35.860 --> 00:23:37.780
of these epic promos.
692
00:23:37.780 --> 00:23:39.800
Right. And somebody pointed out
693
00:23:39.800 --> 00:23:41.880
that they noticed that Nana really doesn't ever
694
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.980
talk for swerve other than to introduce
695
00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:45.560
him and that's about it. Right.
696
00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:47.780
And so
697
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.040
to me it reads
698
00:23:50.040 --> 00:23:51.860
as realism. You know
699
00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:54.060
that swerve, you know, he's not always super
700
00:23:54.060 --> 00:23:55.220
smooth on a promo.
701
00:23:56.080 --> 00:23:57.560
But I felt here he
702
00:23:57.560 --> 00:23:59.620
really conveyed the message well
703
00:23:59.620 --> 00:24:01.960
which is like I
704
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:03.920
he said I told hangman
705
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.820
a year ago that I did regret
706
00:24:05.820 --> 00:24:07.860
what I had done to win the championship and then I had
707
00:24:07.860 --> 00:24:09.980
to think that was
708
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:11.680
you know
709
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.680
the most successful I've ever been
710
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:15.600
is what I did to get that title.
711
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.920
So you know what I've decided to live with no
712
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:18.440
regrets.
713
00:24:19.820 --> 00:24:21.760
That's definitely foreshadowing
714
00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:23.940
okay that hangman and swerve are going to
715
00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:25.740
clash again for sure.
716
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.500
Did you get that vibe?
717
00:24:28.760 --> 00:24:30.020
I did. I
718
00:24:30.800 --> 00:24:32.460
I'm 100% convinced
719
00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:34.160
I know who's winning at revolution.
720
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:36.480
Yes.
721
00:24:36.800 --> 00:24:38.320
And Blair Lime makes the point.
722
00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:39.780
We talked about this a few weeks ago.
723
00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:42.100
I mean the embassy tell was also kind of telling that a
724
00:24:42.100 --> 00:24:44.220
tone changing was coming. I won't call
725
00:24:44.220 --> 00:24:46.300
it a heel turn because it's not really been received
726
00:24:46.300 --> 00:24:48.320
as one. Well that's kind
727
00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:50.240
of the thing. So swerve
728
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.220
literally said I've single handedly taken
729
00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:54.140
out the entire elite. He shared
730
00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:56.160
something on Twitter that had hangman read it
731
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:58.240
out too as part of that.
732
00:24:58.340 --> 00:25:00.120
Okay we got the butts. He has
733
00:25:00.120 --> 00:25:02.260
no loyalty right now except for himself
734
00:25:02.260 --> 00:25:04.720
and I love it.
735
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:06.660
And just on the
736
00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:08.400
promos real quick. I love
737
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:10.400
when promos are realistic and like someone
738
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.460
does kind of get. It's why I love Kenny
739
00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:13.800
so much. Yes.
740
00:25:14.260 --> 00:25:16.420
Kenny is in no means the best promo maker
741
00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:17.600
but he's authentic
742
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:20.300
and I get
743
00:25:20.300 --> 00:25:22.480
that from swerve too. Swerve is authentic
744
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.640
on the on the mic
745
00:25:24.100 --> 00:25:25.880
and I think that makes a huge difference.
746
00:25:26.340 --> 00:25:27.640
Oh I agree. I agree.
747
00:25:27.800 --> 00:25:30.240
I personally have zero problem with
748
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.120
swerve as a promo. I think he's actually become
749
00:25:32.120 --> 00:25:34.360
a much better promo and a really good promo.
750
00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:35.700
Oh yeah. And
751
00:25:36.840 --> 00:25:38.240
yeah. So basically
752
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:40.300
he's establishing here that like
753
00:25:40.300 --> 00:25:41.680
hey all bets are off
754
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:43.820
about swerve going forward
755
00:25:44.860 --> 00:25:46.260
and obviously him
756
00:25:46.260 --> 00:25:48.300
calling out the most dangerous man thing is
757
00:25:48.300 --> 00:25:50.320
going to make the guy that was called the most
758
00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:52.480
dangerous man Brody King probably
759
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.380
have feel some kind of way.
760
00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:56.200
Blair line as usual
761
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:58.400
with a fantastic observation
762
00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.700
which is
763
00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:02.660
oh you didn't like me hurting Kenny right
764
00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:04.940
and then the crowd goes whoo fuck yeah swerve
765
00:26:05.780 --> 00:26:06.280
let's go
766
00:26:06.280 --> 00:26:08.660
like swerve is the only person we're all like
767
00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:10.400
yeah hurt Kenny like
768
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:12.380
swerve can hurt anybody
769
00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:14.400
he wants. He's a legend.
770
00:26:14.540 --> 00:26:16.100
We love this guy. Yeah.
771
00:26:16.580 --> 00:26:18.700
The sicko is no ball and we love swerve
772
00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:20.440
Strickland. So I
773
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.500
think if anything this gave him a stone
774
00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:24.600
cold kind of vibe to me where it's just
775
00:26:24.600 --> 00:26:26.380
kind of this hey I
776
00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:28.460
don't care whose ass I have to kick you know
777
00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:30.640
yeah I'm going to get what I want.
778
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.580
I would call swerve
779
00:26:32.580 --> 00:26:33.940
Grey. Yes.
780
00:26:34.600 --> 00:26:36.360
He could be he
781
00:26:36.360 --> 00:26:37.720
can go either way
782
00:26:38.660 --> 00:26:40.500
and he's going to do that right and
783
00:26:40.500 --> 00:26:42.560
I think that's maybe
784
00:26:42.560 --> 00:26:44.460
an unpopular opinion. I think we need more
785
00:26:44.460 --> 00:26:46.380
care like I like Kenny when he's like that
786
00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:48.500
too. I think we need more wrestlers
787
00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:49.520
who teeter both
788
00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:52.580
and you don't know which version of them you're getting weekly.
789
00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:53.940
Right.
790
00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:56.700
Right. Well and I think we could
791
00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:58.700
very much have swerve
792
00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:00.720
and you know Kenny in a
793
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.580
blood feud you know that's really
794
00:27:02.580 --> 00:27:04.520
between two guys the crowd loves
795
00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:06.720
and they both want that
796
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:08.400
AEW title. They have the stated mission
797
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:10.560
of regaining it. Hangman has
798
00:27:10.560 --> 00:27:12.380
reiterated that he will not
799
00:27:12.380 --> 00:27:14.320
challenge for the AEW men's world title
800
00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:15.960
if he loses at revolution.
801
00:27:17.800 --> 00:27:18.360
It's
802
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:20.160
they have so many people announcing
803
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.380
their intentions. Brody's still in that mix
804
00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:24.500
Bandito is clearly somebody
805
00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:26.320
that Tony views as being in the mix.
806
00:27:27.020 --> 00:27:28.400
The men's world title division
807
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.160
is crazy. Crazy.
808
00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:32.380
I have my I keep my
809
00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:34.500
line up of who's getting the
810
00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:35.740
title switches daily.
811
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.400
So right now it's hangman
812
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:40.380
then swerve then Kenny then osprey.
813
00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:42.160
Could be.
814
00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:43.160
Could be.
815
00:27:44.020 --> 00:27:46.500
I mean one one never knows but
816
00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:48.620
right after this promo segment
817
00:27:48.620 --> 00:27:50.340
wraps you know and I love that
818
00:27:50.340 --> 00:27:52.600
swerve was like yeah you all get the fuck up
819
00:27:52.600 --> 00:27:54.380
and get out of your chairs like
820
00:27:54.380 --> 00:27:56.720
get out of the way. I'm going to stand on the table
821
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:58.420
and like basically like
822
00:27:58.420 --> 00:28:00.300
be taller than everyone
823
00:28:00.300 --> 00:28:02.280
and kind of like be dominant you know
824
00:28:02.280 --> 00:28:04.440
while I talk. It was awesome.
825
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:06.400
Nana very
826
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:07.920
much on swerve's side on this one.
827
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:10.220
So I was kind of relieved because
828
00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:12.400
I don't want them to have
829
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.480
an issue with each other.
830
00:28:14.620 --> 00:28:16.340
Please. And I feel like when
831
00:28:16.340 --> 00:28:18.380
it would have happened like there was a time
832
00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:20.140
where it would have happened and that time has passed.
833
00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:22.360
Agreed. Agreed. But Brody
834
00:28:22.360 --> 00:28:24.160
they immediately go to a backstage
835
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:26.700
segment where Brody calls out
836
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:28.000
swerve.
837
00:28:28.280 --> 00:28:30.380
And he makes it very clear
838
00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:31.960
that he considers himself
839
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.000
the most dangerous man in AEW.
840
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:36.560
And then later Brody and Mark Davis
841
00:28:36.560 --> 00:28:38.480
just beat the living fucking
842
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:39.860
shit out of each other.
843
00:28:39.980 --> 00:28:42.780
Oh god get out. That was
844
00:28:42.780 --> 00:28:44.240
that was a
845
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.160
meat match. But can we
846
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:48.200
just for one second talk about how
847
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.060
amazing the AEW crowd is
848
00:28:50.060 --> 00:28:51.940
and our chance
849
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.320
because
850
00:28:56.080 --> 00:28:56.440
fantastic
851
00:28:57.040 --> 00:28:57.760
job
852
00:28:57.760 --> 00:29:00.160
with the fuck Don Callis
853
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.000
fuck ice too. Yep.
854
00:29:02.140 --> 00:29:04.040
That was the best chance
855
00:29:04.040 --> 00:29:05.880
I have personally ever heard
856
00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:08.020
as the also the
857
00:29:08.020 --> 00:29:09.600
president of the Don Callis
858
00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:10.760
hater society.
859
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.100
Joshi I just want you to know that I'm
860
00:29:14.100 --> 00:29:16.500
still on team Don here but
861
00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:18.340
I did think the chant was appropriate
862
00:29:18.340 --> 00:29:20.200
given you know that's what they
863
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:22.000
chant every time Don comes up but then they add
864
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.260
ice to it. Now you're associating Don Callis
865
00:29:24.260 --> 00:29:25.920
with ice. Like.
866
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:28.500
That was like genius and establishing him
867
00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:30.040
as a heel.
868
00:29:30.280 --> 00:29:32.200
Like the most contemptible
869
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:34.080
human being on the earth. Yeah
870
00:29:34.080 --> 00:29:36.120
like oh my god. Great
871
00:29:36.120 --> 00:29:38.020
job. Great job. He's
872
00:29:38.020 --> 00:29:40.580
disliked on such a level that
873
00:29:40.580 --> 00:29:42.260
people are comfortable making that
874
00:29:42.260 --> 00:29:44.180
that inference which is wow.
875
00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:46.420
He's totally okay with it. He's just like
876
00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:47.320
yeah.
877
00:29:48.840 --> 00:29:50.340
Whatever gets the
878
00:29:50.340 --> 00:29:52.080
marks worked up brother.
879
00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:54.120
You know so
880
00:29:54.780 --> 00:29:56.240
one last thing about Kenny
881
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.260
here. Kenny is a very
882
00:29:58.260 --> 00:30:00.300
uncle talker. Like he kind of talks
883
00:30:00.300 --> 00:30:02.180
like your uncle giving a wedding speech but
884
00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:04.220
it's still somehow good. Yes
885
00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:06.580
Kenny uses a lot of very old fashioned
886
00:30:06.580 --> 00:30:08.540
turns of phrase and stuff
887
00:30:08.540 --> 00:30:10.220
that is more local
888
00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:12.360
to my generation. I'm older than Kenny.
889
00:30:12.780 --> 00:30:13.480
So like
890
00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:16.560
I think that's so funny is he
891
00:30:16.560 --> 00:30:18.320
kind of has this cartoon villain
892
00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:20.580
vibe about him at all times.
893
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.380
But yeah I think Kenny's gonna
894
00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:24.340
go more into the gray as well when he comes
895
00:30:24.340 --> 00:30:26.460
back. I have a theory on what could
896
00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:28.460
happen with this Swerve Brody
897
00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:30.560
match and we will get to all of that a little
898
00:30:30.560 --> 00:30:32.020
later. But
899
00:30:32.020 --> 00:30:34.620
this is the Swerve that got everybody
900
00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:36.360
excited in the first place. You know
901
00:30:36.360 --> 00:30:38.500
what I mean? Him having a blood feud with Kenny
902
00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:40.820
is gonna reignite that fire no matter
903
00:30:40.820 --> 00:30:42.160
what direction it goes.
904
00:30:42.820 --> 00:30:44.660
Good luck getting this guy booed. He is not
905
00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:46.560
gonna be booed. I mean Swerve like
906
00:30:46.560 --> 00:30:48.520
you said. Kenny's not gonna be
907
00:30:48.520 --> 00:30:50.040
booed either. So this is gonna be like
908
00:30:50.040 --> 00:30:52.420
it's gonna be let's go Swerve.
909
00:30:52.560 --> 00:30:54.140
Let's go Kenny. Yeah.
910
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:56.580
You're not gonna want either one of
911
00:30:56.580 --> 00:30:58.580
them to lose and to me
912
00:30:58.580 --> 00:31:00.360
those are the favorite types of matches because
913
00:31:00.360 --> 00:31:02.620
you actually are
914
00:31:02.620 --> 00:31:04.640
on the edge of your seat because you're like oh my god
915
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:06.640
that near fall. That near fall. That near fall.
916
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:07.520
Oh my god.
917
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:10.540
Well and then you give Kenny an opportunity.
918
00:31:10.580 --> 00:31:12.400
Kenny you can do the hangman thing with Kenny.
919
00:31:12.580 --> 00:31:14.360
This guy almost killed me.
920
00:31:14.540 --> 00:31:16.000
And you guys are cheering for him.
921
00:31:16.300 --> 00:31:18.500
That's why I think Kenny's coming back as
922
00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:19.840
more gray. Yeah.
923
00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:22.520
He knows he's loved
924
00:31:22.520 --> 00:31:23.720
by the crowd. What a great
925
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.580
way to make
926
00:31:26.580 --> 00:31:28.660
Kenny turn against
927
00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:30.480
the crowd a little bit. Or at least
928
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.560
give him some shit for kind of
929
00:31:32.560 --> 00:31:33.580
halfway turning on him.
930
00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:35.780
Alright we're gonna hit some music when we
931
00:31:35.780 --> 00:31:37.540
come back. We are talking about
932
00:31:37.540 --> 00:31:39.460
bullying wrestlers online.
933
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:55.820
Alright books we are back
934
00:31:55.820 --> 00:31:57.560
and you know who else was back was
935
00:31:57.560 --> 00:31:59.700
Penelope Ford. She was back
936
00:32:00.580 --> 00:32:01.540
very recently
937
00:32:02.100 --> 00:32:02.980
on you know
938
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:05.680
I mean I don't even think it was that
939
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.020
long. I think it was a couple weeks.
940
00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:09.620
She was back. She was teaming with
941
00:32:09.620 --> 00:32:11.920
Megasys as Mega Bat again.
942
00:32:12.340 --> 00:32:13.320
Babes of Wrath.
943
00:32:13.620 --> 00:32:15.560
It was announced that there was gonna be another title
944
00:32:15.560 --> 00:32:17.760
defense against Mega Bat
945
00:32:17.760 --> 00:32:19.740
and it felt to me like
946
00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:21.660
this had to be a title change forthcoming.
947
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.660
Yeah it was definitely supposed to be a title
948
00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:25.780
change. I think so.
949
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:27.500
Then Penelope did a moonsault
950
00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:29.420
off the top to the outside.
951
00:32:29.600 --> 00:32:31.800
Willow and Harley straight up just
952
00:32:31.800 --> 00:32:33.340
missed her. They didn't catch her.
953
00:32:33.760 --> 00:32:35.480
She landed in between them.
954
00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:36.760
And that's kind of like
955
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:39.760
like everybody saw
956
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:41.360
it. Everybody was like oh shit.
957
00:32:41.620 --> 00:32:43.660
Right. Like that looks like
958
00:32:43.660 --> 00:32:45.920
something's wrong there. Yeah that looked like it hurt.
959
00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:47.800
Penelope doesn't come
960
00:32:47.800 --> 00:32:49.320
back for the rest of the match.
961
00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:51.380
It
962
00:32:51.380 --> 00:32:53.420
just looks like an innocent mistake
963
00:32:53.420 --> 00:32:54.800
that happened.
964
00:32:55.560 --> 00:32:57.680
When you rewatch it you can
965
00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:59.740
see to them trying to
966
00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:01.660
adjust to make sure that they're in the right spot.
967
00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:03.160
It was a mistake.
968
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:05.660
And those happen. Like someone's
969
00:33:05.660 --> 00:33:07.400
jumping off a top rope feet first.
970
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.700
You're going to make weird
971
00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:12.120
you may not always get that person.
972
00:33:12.120 --> 00:33:14.100
Like it's a risk
973
00:33:14.100 --> 00:33:15.360
wrestlers know they take.
974
00:33:15.780 --> 00:33:18.420
Right. And we've seen it happen
975
00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:20.460
in many different
976
00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:22.160
promotions. It's not exclusive to
977
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.000
any one place. You know AW
978
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:26.160
has had it happen before.
979
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:28.200
WWE I've seen clips of it happening
980
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:29.440
recently with Phoenix.
981
00:33:30.080 --> 00:33:32.140
I've seen TNA. I've seen
982
00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:34.400
it in every promotion that's ever existed.
983
00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:36.200
If somebody's doing a moonsault off
984
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:36.960
the top.
985
00:33:38.320 --> 00:33:40.280
You're taking a big risk with your
986
00:33:40.280 --> 00:33:41.540
You're taking a huge risk. Yeah.
987
00:33:42.080 --> 00:33:44.560
And so it's just an unfortunate
988
00:33:44.560 --> 00:33:45.720
mistake that happened.
989
00:33:46.030 --> 00:33:48.120
As it turns out the next day
990
00:33:48.120 --> 00:33:50.320
and I saw somebody talking about
991
00:33:50.320 --> 00:33:52.560
this on YouTube today blaming the AEW
992
00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:53.700
Sickos for this.
993
00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:56.100
And I'm like dude I don't think that's
994
00:33:56.100 --> 00:33:57.380
the AEW Sickos at all.
995
00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:58.280
No.
996
00:33:59.260 --> 00:34:02.420
These are people who saw a clip and hate AEW.
997
00:34:03.260 --> 00:34:04.340
I think AEW
998
00:34:04.340 --> 00:34:06.120
is just full of injuries.
999
00:34:06.620 --> 00:34:08.699
And unsafe people.
1000
00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:09.260
Yeah.
1001
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:11.280
Did this.
1002
00:34:12.020 --> 00:34:15.060
So a bunch of assholes
1003
00:34:15.060 --> 00:34:16.600
who probably most of whom
1004
00:34:16.600 --> 00:34:18.840
probably don't even watch AEW
1005
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:20.380
saw a clip. And couldn't wrestle
1006
00:34:20.380 --> 00:34:22.320
themselves that don't have the cardiovascular
1007
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.260
strength to get into a ring. Yeah.
1008
00:34:24.540 --> 00:34:26.219
Like even get into a ring. Yeah.
1009
00:34:26.560 --> 00:34:28.520
They do like me where you put your knee
1010
00:34:28.520 --> 00:34:30.540
on the apron and then you kind of try to
1011
00:34:30.540 --> 00:34:31.520
roll onto the mat.
1012
00:34:32.380 --> 00:34:33.860
Yeah. That's me getting in a ring.
1013
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.340
As it turns out Penelope Ford has
1014
00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:38.520
a twisted or a sprained ankle
1015
00:34:38.520 --> 00:34:39.960
which is not an ankle.
1016
00:34:40.219 --> 00:34:42.280
Not nothing but certainly much better than a
1017
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:44.560
torn muscle or a broken bone.
1018
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:45.480
Right.
1019
00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:48.260
She's expected back relatively quickly.
1020
00:34:48.260 --> 00:34:49.980
So that's great news.
1021
00:34:50.860 --> 00:34:52.440
But Harley Cameron was
1022
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:53.420
bullied off
1023
00:34:53.420 --> 00:34:56.300
X. She deleted or she deactivated
1024
00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:57.540
her account yesterday.
1025
00:34:57.700 --> 00:34:59.340
Good for her.
1026
00:35:00.140 --> 00:35:02.180
Yeah. She shouldn't be on X anyway but.
1027
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.200
Well we're going to get to that
1028
00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:06.340
because there is a broader message in all of
1029
00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:07.120
this.
1030
00:35:08.980 --> 00:35:10.440
But good for her
1031
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:11.960
for just getting out of there.
1032
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.340
There's no point going back and forth with people.
1033
00:35:14.540 --> 00:35:16.160
I think a lot of wrestlers
1034
00:35:16.160 --> 00:35:18.220
have made that mistake in the past
1035
00:35:18.220 --> 00:35:20.220
and there's no point
1036
00:35:20.220 --> 00:35:22.260
trying to defend yourself against somebody
1037
00:35:22.260 --> 00:35:24.120
who's not interested in being rational to begin
1038
00:35:24.120 --> 00:35:25.880
with. So
1039
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:27.940
these people aren't trying to be rational.
1040
00:35:28.340 --> 00:35:30.260
Also Willow and Harley were supposed
1041
00:35:30.260 --> 00:35:31.200
to catch her.
1042
00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:33.320
Yeah. But Willow's not getting
1043
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:35.280
any shit. Willow's not getting this shit. She might
1044
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.180
have from someone but I don't think it was
1045
00:35:37.180 --> 00:35:38.600
But it was all Harley.
1046
00:35:39.020 --> 00:35:41.400
Everyone was getting Harley. And I'm going to
1047
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:42.500
warn everyone now.
1048
00:35:44.550 --> 00:35:46.450
If we continue to bully
1049
00:35:46.450 --> 00:35:48.750
wrestlers so that they don't want to
1050
00:35:48.750 --> 00:35:50.650
be on social media, cough
1051
00:35:50.650 --> 00:35:53.050
now we have Harley, we have Reho.
1052
00:35:54.290 --> 00:35:54.770
You're
1053
00:35:54.770 --> 00:35:56.650
going to regret when I decide
1054
00:35:56.650 --> 00:35:57.730
to bully you.
1055
00:35:58.930 --> 00:35:59.410
Well
1056
00:36:00.890 --> 00:36:01.330
I'm
1057
00:36:01.330 --> 00:36:02.810
for hire
1058
00:36:03.310 --> 00:36:05.110
wrestlers. If you don't want to be the one to bully
1059
00:36:05.110 --> 00:36:06.910
someone, just hire me.
1060
00:36:07.050 --> 00:36:09.150
Books and body slams is a paid bully.
1061
00:36:09.650 --> 00:36:10.790
Bully for hire. Paid bully.
1062
00:36:12.270 --> 00:36:13.150
You know what?
1063
00:36:13.430 --> 00:36:14.990
I think bullies deserve to be bullied.
1064
00:36:15.230 --> 00:36:17.350
That's a side hustle that I think you could
1065
00:36:17.350 --> 00:36:19.170
really pursue because you're good at that.
1066
00:36:19.770 --> 00:36:21.430
Company. Bullies deserve to be bullied.
1067
00:36:22.930 --> 00:36:25.390
Yeah. And you know, some fair observations
1068
00:36:25.390 --> 00:36:27.270
here. This is the second time that she's doing
1069
00:36:27.270 --> 00:36:29.430
a move to the outside, not being caught. She may need to remove
1070
00:36:29.430 --> 00:36:31.290
that from her moveset. Maybe
1071
00:36:31.290 --> 00:36:33.570
because you know what? Honestly, it's a very
1072
00:36:33.570 --> 00:36:35.430
risky move to do. And you're right.
1073
00:36:35.510 --> 00:36:37.010
She hasn't been caught a couple times.
1074
00:36:37.450 --> 00:36:39.730
I saw Tiffany Stratton, you know,
1075
00:36:39.730 --> 00:36:41.170
a clip of her
1076
00:36:41.170 --> 00:36:43.070
not getting caught. I saw
1077
00:36:43.070 --> 00:36:45.510
these, you know, it's not particular
1078
00:36:45.510 --> 00:36:47.550
to any one performer or any one promotion.
1079
00:36:47.630 --> 00:36:49.470
It's just, this is pro wrestling.
1080
00:36:49.550 --> 00:36:51.210
Mistakes happen, you know.
1081
00:36:51.250 --> 00:36:52.190
Mistakes happen.
1082
00:36:53.890 --> 00:36:55.630
And moonsaults are a little scary.
1083
00:36:55.630 --> 00:36:57.910
Like you're jumping off a top rope and
1084
00:36:57.910 --> 00:36:59.890
Yeah. Backwards.
1085
00:37:00.410 --> 00:37:01.990
Backwards. And you're just trusting
1086
00:37:01.990 --> 00:37:03.810
that somebody's going to be there to catch you.
1087
00:37:04.370 --> 00:37:05.890
Yeah. And it's not that I don't think
1088
00:37:05.890 --> 00:37:07.630
Planoly didn't trust them. It's just
1089
00:37:09.410 --> 00:37:11.610
You can't sometimes guarantee where
1090
00:37:11.610 --> 00:37:13.310
something is going to land.
1091
00:37:15.230 --> 00:37:17.630
Yeah. Well, in BJ Dixon
1092
00:37:17.630 --> 00:37:19.630
HGA says, do you guys think the IWC
1093
00:37:19.630 --> 00:37:21.710
in general has gotten too comfortable with insulting
1094
00:37:21.710 --> 00:37:23.670
these wrestlers? I mean, yeah, I
1095
00:37:23.670 --> 00:37:25.830
think we're all too comfortable insulting
1096
00:37:25.830 --> 00:37:27.530
people we don't know, though. I mean,
1097
00:37:27.550 --> 00:37:29.910
I just think that's a societal
1098
00:37:29.910 --> 00:37:31.770
issue that social media
1099
00:37:31.770 --> 00:37:33.790
has made. It's kind of
1100
00:37:33.790 --> 00:37:35.990
rationalized. You know what I mean? Like
1101
00:37:35.990 --> 00:37:37.650
Yeah. It's why
1102
00:37:37.650 --> 00:37:39.810
I don't play nice anymore. Yeah.
1103
00:37:39.930 --> 00:37:41.970
Well, and if people are, you know,
1104
00:37:42.130 --> 00:37:43.710
there's two approaches
1105
00:37:43.710 --> 00:37:45.730
that make sense to me. You
1106
00:37:45.730 --> 00:37:47.970
can give somebody
1107
00:37:47.970 --> 00:37:49.630
enough shit to back the fuck up
1108
00:37:49.630 --> 00:37:51.810
because they think they're going to bully you. And so
1109
00:37:51.810 --> 00:37:53.990
you just back up. You're just going to back
1110
00:37:53.990 --> 00:37:55.890
off. And when you don't,
1111
00:37:55.890 --> 00:37:57.910
they often do not know how to handle
1112
00:37:57.910 --> 00:37:59.770
it and like make idiots
1113
00:37:59.770 --> 00:38:01.830
of themselves. Or the other
1114
00:38:01.830 --> 00:38:03.890
thing is to simply just ignore it and not
1115
00:38:03.890 --> 00:38:05.910
feel the need to explain yourself, which is kind of
1116
00:38:05.910 --> 00:38:07.930
more where I'm getting to, where it's like I don't
1117
00:38:07.930 --> 00:38:09.670
need to like humor
1118
00:38:09.670 --> 00:38:12.050
your stupidity. That's where I was. Yes.
1119
00:38:12.130 --> 00:38:14.250
Until that wasn't doing anything.
1120
00:38:15.550 --> 00:38:17.070
Now I'm just like
1121
00:38:17.730 --> 00:38:19.810
OK, fine. You want to play
1122
00:38:19.810 --> 00:38:22.370
Yeah. And and
1123
00:38:22.370 --> 00:38:24.130
you know, 8Bit Bruchet makes a great point
1124
00:38:24.130 --> 00:38:25.990
here. Guarantee
1125
00:38:25.990 --> 00:38:27.910
that Harley felt bad enough without the hate.
1126
00:38:28.770 --> 00:38:30.370
She did not need that. She
1127
00:38:31.030 --> 00:38:32.170
you you could
1128
00:38:32.170 --> 00:38:34.070
tell that like I feel like in the
1129
00:38:34.070 --> 00:38:36.070
moment you can see on her face that she was
1130
00:38:36.070 --> 00:38:37.470
up like
1131
00:38:37.470 --> 00:38:40.250
these are these people are friends behind
1132
00:38:40.250 --> 00:38:42.030
the scenes. They don't want
1133
00:38:42.030 --> 00:38:44.350
to see each other injured or be the
1134
00:38:44.350 --> 00:38:45.810
cause of an injury and
1135
00:38:46.510 --> 00:38:48.070
making her feel worse
1136
00:38:48.070 --> 00:38:50.450
is is just God.
1137
00:38:50.650 --> 00:38:52.330
It's freaking awful.
1138
00:38:53.290 --> 00:38:54.170
And always never ends
1139
00:38:54.170 --> 00:38:56.230
up making the point that I said we come back
1140
00:38:56.230 --> 00:38:58.150
to, which is fuck Twitter
1141
00:38:58.150 --> 00:38:59.650
wrestlers. Get off Twitter.
1142
00:39:00.310 --> 00:39:02.150
Get off Twitter. We're
1143
00:39:02.150 --> 00:39:04.330
much nicer on every other platform.
1144
00:39:04.590 --> 00:39:06.230
Eddie Kasich just drops into fucking
1145
00:39:06.690 --> 00:39:08.290
threads and just fucking
1146
00:39:08.290 --> 00:39:10.350
yeah, make some like weird
1147
00:39:10.350 --> 00:39:12.150
silly posts every once in a while. He's
1148
00:39:12.150 --> 00:39:14.150
hilarious. And Hangman's on Blue
1149
00:39:14.150 --> 00:39:16.390
Sky talking about weed and plants like
1150
00:39:16.390 --> 00:39:18.710
totally Nia Jax
1151
00:39:18.710 --> 00:39:20.450
is on is on
1152
00:39:20.450 --> 00:39:22.670
or not Nia Jax. Sorry, Naila Rose
1153
00:39:22.670 --> 00:39:24.530
is on. Yes. Yeah.
1154
00:39:24.530 --> 00:39:26.690
Very different. Very different. Very
1155
00:39:26.690 --> 00:39:28.710
different. Naila Rose is on Blue
1156
00:39:28.710 --> 00:39:30.570
Sky, you know, and and she's a lot of
1157
00:39:30.570 --> 00:39:32.490
fun there. And Blurry
1158
00:39:32.490 --> 00:39:34.590
line. A lot of them are like Aubrey is
1159
00:39:34.590 --> 00:39:36.410
on there now. Like yeah.
1160
00:39:36.610 --> 00:39:38.450
Yeah. So I would just say
1161
00:39:38.450 --> 00:39:40.390
to wrestlers like it's never going to X
1162
00:39:40.390 --> 00:39:42.670
is a cesspool. It always will be a cesspool
1163
00:39:42.670 --> 00:39:44.470
Twitter X whatever you want to call it. Blurry line.
1164
00:39:44.470 --> 00:39:46.610
This isn't a Nia Jax situation. Nia
1165
00:39:46.610 --> 00:39:48.690
10 years to stop entering people and has
1166
00:39:48.690 --> 00:39:49.890
not stopped entering people.
1167
00:39:51.990 --> 00:39:53.790
I mean, yeah.
1168
00:39:54.330 --> 00:39:55.230
Yeah. Someone else has
1169
00:39:56.810 --> 00:39:57.810
had 50
1170
00:39:57.810 --> 00:39:58.430
matches.
1171
00:39:59.690 --> 00:40:01.950
She is still very green and to
1172
00:40:01.950 --> 00:40:04.210
be the level she's at this green
1173
00:40:06.170 --> 00:40:07.910
is amazing. Imagine what she's
1174
00:40:07.910 --> 00:40:09.730
going to be like next
1175
00:40:09.730 --> 00:40:11.870
year. Like, but you could
1176
00:40:11.870 --> 00:40:13.870
have just sent her these people could have just sent her back
1177
00:40:13.870 --> 00:40:16.010
because now she could be in her head and not want
1178
00:40:16.010 --> 00:40:18.190
to get into a ring again. Well, her entire
1179
00:40:18.190 --> 00:40:20.090
entering career has been on national
1180
00:40:20.090 --> 00:40:22.010
television pretty much. Yeah. Like
1181
00:40:22.010 --> 00:40:23.950
think about that. She just started wrestling.
1182
00:40:24.190 --> 00:40:25.930
You know, Anna J was the same
1183
00:40:25.930 --> 00:40:27.810
and look where Harley is
1184
00:40:27.810 --> 00:40:29.970
50 matches in. You know, Anna took
1185
00:40:29.970 --> 00:40:31.830
a while longer to get there. No
1186
00:40:31.830 --> 00:40:33.970
diss on Anna. You know, it's just
1187
00:40:33.970 --> 00:40:35.870
that's more normal. What
1188
00:40:35.870 --> 00:40:37.610
Anna did. Yeah. Harley's doing.
1189
00:40:37.870 --> 00:40:40.210
What Harley is doing is like
1190
00:40:41.010 --> 00:40:42.050
she's exceeding
1191
00:40:42.050 --> 00:40:44.090
expectations. Sports are
1192
00:40:44.090 --> 00:40:46.210
in the moment. You're talking about milliseconds
1193
00:40:46.590 --> 00:40:48.170
of physical reaction
1194
00:40:48.170 --> 00:40:50.170
to something. And so
1195
00:40:52.110 --> 00:40:54.130
everybody deserves a little grace.
1196
00:40:54.490 --> 00:40:56.450
You know, there are there are some obvious
1197
00:40:56.450 --> 00:40:58.310
examples of people intentionally
1198
00:40:58.310 --> 00:40:59.750
hurting people.
1199
00:41:00.390 --> 00:41:02.270
Or there's been some obvious
1200
00:41:02.270 --> 00:41:03.990
examples of people not
1201
00:41:03.990 --> 00:41:06.110
being careful enough that
1202
00:41:06.110 --> 00:41:07.770
they repeatedly hurt people.
1203
00:41:08.810 --> 00:41:10.130
Maybe you could say something
1204
00:41:10.130 --> 00:41:12.110
then. But I think in general
1205
00:41:12.790 --> 00:41:14.250
it's really like
1206
00:41:14.250 --> 00:41:16.510
not for us as fans
1207
00:41:16.510 --> 00:41:18.070
to like get on people
1208
00:41:18.070 --> 00:41:20.250
about, you know, how dangerous they are
1209
00:41:20.250 --> 00:41:22.290
careless or reckless or whatever.
1210
00:41:22.550 --> 00:41:24.350
You know, like and
1211
00:41:24.350 --> 00:41:26.250
and like we said, it's X the culture
1212
00:41:26.250 --> 00:41:28.290
that's normalized over there. The people
1213
00:41:28.290 --> 00:41:30.590
who've never left see it as very normal.
1214
00:41:31.210 --> 00:41:32.190
And it's not normal.
1215
00:41:32.210 --> 00:41:34.130
You go anywhere else. It's not like that.
1216
00:41:34.190 --> 00:41:35.770
You know, so
1217
00:41:35.770 --> 00:41:38.270
I'm on blue sky and threads. You can
1218
00:41:38.270 --> 00:41:40.310
my handle's eye blade daily. You can find me there.
1219
00:41:40.550 --> 00:41:42.430
So that's all I'm saying. If you need somebody
1220
00:41:42.430 --> 00:41:44.370
to talk to the rest of
1221
00:41:44.370 --> 00:41:45.510
AEW, come over there.
1222
00:41:46.010 --> 00:41:47.970
Come join us in the happy lands.
1223
00:41:48.090 --> 00:41:50.430
Yeah, yeah, it's a good toxic lands.
1224
00:41:51.830 --> 00:41:52.370
But in
1225
00:41:52.370 --> 00:41:54.270
talking about Dynamite, that issue aside
1226
00:41:55.770 --> 00:41:58.650
in talking about Dynamite in
1227
00:41:58.650 --> 00:42:01.930
general, this show
1228
00:42:01.930 --> 00:42:03.630
is on a run right now
1229
00:42:03.630 --> 00:42:05.950
that I don't I've never
1230
00:42:05.950 --> 00:42:08.210
seen a run quite like this.
1231
00:42:08.210 --> 00:42:10.450
Like there was I
1232
00:42:10.450 --> 00:42:12.630
can tell you what it felt like in the Attitude
1233
00:42:12.630 --> 00:42:14.110
era where it was like you were
1234
00:42:14.110 --> 00:42:16.330
really excited to watch wrestling
1235
00:42:16.330 --> 00:42:18.410
like really pumped, you know,
1236
00:42:18.470 --> 00:42:20.490
every week to watch wrestling.
1237
00:42:21.210 --> 00:42:21.550
But
1238
00:42:22.210 --> 00:42:24.470
the shows weren't like epic
1239
00:42:24.470 --> 00:42:26.450
award winning movies every
1240
00:42:26.450 --> 00:42:28.410
week. You know what I mean?
1241
00:42:28.850 --> 00:42:30.530
And I
1242
00:42:30.530 --> 00:42:32.290
don't know how long they can sustain
1243
00:42:32.290 --> 00:42:34.470
this run that they're on right now.
1244
00:42:34.910 --> 00:42:36.230
But 2025 into
1245
00:42:36.230 --> 00:42:40.160
2026. I'm just saying
1246
00:42:40.160 --> 00:42:42.060
enjoy every minute of it.
1247
00:42:42.060 --> 00:42:44.080
Enjoy every minute of it, folks, because
1248
00:42:44.080 --> 00:42:45.340
we are literally
1249
00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:48.180
in the golden age of televised
1250
00:42:48.180 --> 00:42:49.900
wrestling right now. We're like what?
1251
00:42:50.020 --> 00:42:51.680
On a 50,
1252
00:42:51.820 --> 00:42:54.340
almost 60 week run
1253
00:42:54.340 --> 00:42:55.980
of every episode
1254
00:42:55.980 --> 00:42:57.340
being better than the last.
1255
00:42:58.120 --> 00:43:00.160
Yeah, people have
1256
00:43:00.160 --> 00:43:01.720
called me a shill.
1257
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.040
They say I sing the praises of AEW all the
1258
00:43:04.040 --> 00:43:05.980
time. Well, guess what I do
1259
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:08.240
because they deserve it.
1260
00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:10.400
There's always stuff to critique and criticize
1261
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:12.360
the name. You're a shill.
1262
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:13.700
What does that make me?
1263
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:16.260
There's a reason
1264
00:43:16.260 --> 00:43:18.480
that we're a shill. We're not just shills for no reason.
1265
00:43:18.580 --> 00:43:20.240
OK, like, you know, if you
1266
00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:22.180
like AEW, this is a fun podcast to
1267
00:43:22.180 --> 00:43:23.960
listen to. If you don't like AEW, don't listen
1268
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:25.840
to this podcast. OK,
1269
00:43:26.780 --> 00:43:28.120
like there's plenty of things
1270
00:43:28.120 --> 00:43:30.140
you get to critique and criticize, but I'm not
1271
00:43:30.140 --> 00:43:32.360
going to go out of my way to do that.
1272
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:34.100
Like if there's something that's obvious
1273
00:43:34.100 --> 00:43:36.520
to me, it's stuff that
1274
00:43:37.020 --> 00:43:38.180
bothers me is so
1275
00:43:38.180 --> 00:43:40.120
minor that it's not
1276
00:43:40.120 --> 00:43:42.140
worth my time and energy. And the thing
1277
00:43:42.140 --> 00:43:44.000
is, like when I was talking about the Attitude era,
1278
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.960
if you go back and watch those episodes now,
1279
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:48.260
I realized a lot
1280
00:43:48.260 --> 00:43:50.140
of that excitement was just about
1281
00:43:50.140 --> 00:43:51.880
one thing that was going to happen on the show.
1282
00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:53.900
It wasn't the entire show.
1283
00:43:54.780 --> 00:43:56.360
See, I don't get it
1284
00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:58.340
because when I watch the Attitude era,
1285
00:44:03.260 --> 00:44:04.780
how do I say this nicely?
1286
00:44:04.780 --> 00:44:07.540
It's not 1999. I want to claw my eyes out.
1287
00:44:07.640 --> 00:44:08.620
Yes, yes.
1288
00:44:09.240 --> 00:44:10.420
You're not having
1289
00:44:11.660 --> 00:44:12.940
Tostino's pizza rolls marketed
1290
00:44:12.940 --> 00:44:15.240
to you constantly. And
1291
00:44:15.240 --> 00:44:16.820
is that why I bought
1292
00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:19.000
Tostino pizza rolls? You don't know that
1293
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:21.000
like the word extreme is not going to be cool
1294
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.000
forever for the rest of your life. It's not
1295
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:24.900
the 90s when you're watching. That's
1296
00:44:24.900 --> 00:44:26.640
why. Tino
1297
00:44:26.640 --> 00:44:28.880
Ibarra says Blade is Shillian Murphy
1298
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:30.980
over here. Damn right I am. Damn
1299
00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:31.880
right.
1300
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:34.360
So yes, Mark
1301
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:35.940
is in the name of this show.
1302
00:44:36.220 --> 00:44:38.020
I sit down, I shut up, and I mark out, and then
1303
00:44:38.020 --> 00:44:40.220
I make a podcast about what I'm marking out about.
1304
00:44:41.240 --> 00:44:42.120
Yeah, we're going to
1305
00:44:42.120 --> 00:44:44.100
always talk about things that aren't
1306
00:44:44.100 --> 00:44:46.080
good if we notice those. But
1307
00:44:46.080 --> 00:44:48.100
this episode, there
1308
00:44:48.100 --> 00:44:49.540
wasn't a lot to criticize.
1309
00:44:50.620 --> 00:44:51.880
No, we had
1310
00:44:53.100 --> 00:44:53.920
a free
1311
00:44:54.500 --> 00:44:56.020
anarchy in the arena.
1312
00:44:59.520 --> 00:45:00.560
AEW Dynamite
1313
00:45:00.560 --> 00:45:02.320
is the best
1314
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:04.460
wrestling show consistently
1315
00:45:04.460 --> 00:45:06.520
that I've seen in
1316
00:45:06.520 --> 00:45:08.320
30 plus years of watching this shit.
1317
00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:09.960
Oh yeah. It's
1318
00:45:10.300 --> 00:45:12.200
even when you look at other TV.
1319
00:45:12.660 --> 00:45:14.180
Well I'm not like I'm talking
1320
00:45:14.180 --> 00:45:15.920
regular. Right.
1321
00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:18.240
Game of Thrones,
1322
00:45:18.640 --> 00:45:20.620
Friends, Big Bang Theory,
1323
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:22.580
all those shows.
1324
00:45:23.820 --> 00:45:24.340
AEW
1325
00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:26.460
is consistently good
1326
00:45:27.520 --> 00:45:28.660
compared to
1327
00:45:28.660 --> 00:45:30.940
the majority of what's on TV.
1328
00:45:31.340 --> 00:45:32.420
Right, right.
1329
00:45:33.060 --> 00:45:34.780
And then, you know, and then you
1330
00:45:34.780 --> 00:45:36.480
see how awesome the fan base is.
1331
00:45:36.520 --> 00:45:38.960
The fuck ice chants, and you know,
1332
00:45:39.160 --> 00:45:40.880
the AEW really
1333
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:42.660
you know, goes hard
1334
00:45:42.660 --> 00:45:44.680
on Tony Storm being
1335
00:45:44.680 --> 00:45:46.180
queer or like whatever.
1336
00:45:47.120 --> 00:45:48.620
And it makes you love them
1337
00:45:48.620 --> 00:45:50.560
even more. That attachment
1338
00:45:50.560 --> 00:45:52.820
to AEW that you feel is even deeper.
1339
00:45:53.540 --> 00:45:54.320
And I just
1340
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:56.220
I think that's amazing, you know.
1341
00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:57.960
It's why
1342
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:00.240
when I make a decision, it
1343
00:46:00.240 --> 00:46:02.100
doesn't come lightly. Yes.
1344
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:04.360
Yes. Tino says
1345
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.380
none of that aged well. That is
1346
00:46:06.380 --> 00:46:08.160
very true. None of that aged well.
1347
00:46:08.580 --> 00:46:10.220
Looking at it through modern eyes,
1348
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:12.220
I judge
1349
00:46:12.220 --> 00:46:14.040
people when they say they love the Attitude Era.
1350
00:46:14.420 --> 00:46:16.320
Like I got that person to admit that he didn't like
1351
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:18.100
modern day wrestling because he doesn't like women.
1352
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:19.800
I was like no shit.
1353
00:46:20.240 --> 00:46:22.040
You said you liked the Attitude Era.
1354
00:46:22.140 --> 00:46:24.640
Neither did Vince. Yeah. So yeah.
1355
00:46:24.640 --> 00:46:27.120
A lot in common. But a good
1356
00:46:27.120 --> 00:46:29.220
demonstration of how great Dynamite's
1357
00:46:29.220 --> 00:46:30.840
been this week would be the Mile High
1358
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:33.000
Madness match, which as you said
1359
00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:34.840
Books was basically an
1360
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:36.780
anarchy in the arena match on
1361
00:46:36.780 --> 00:46:38.640
cable television or on
1362
00:46:39.240 --> 00:46:40.200
HBO Max.
1363
00:46:42.460 --> 00:46:42.700
It was
1364
00:46:42.700 --> 00:46:44.620
We used a vacuum as a weapon.
1365
00:46:44.740 --> 00:46:46.180
We did. We did.
1366
00:46:46.560 --> 00:46:49.000
And then the crowd got to participate
1367
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:50.860
too. You know who really
1368
00:46:50.860 --> 00:46:52.700
got to participate with the vacuum was
1369
00:46:52.700 --> 00:46:55.040
Nigel McGinnis, who started having a coughing
1370
00:46:55.040 --> 00:46:55.800
fit
1371
00:46:57.260 --> 00:46:58.640
immediately after it went off.
1372
00:46:58.980 --> 00:47:00.780
It's a ten man tag match
1373
00:47:00.780 --> 00:47:02.800
with no rules. When it was announced, I
1374
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:04.340
had no doubt it would be good.
1375
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:06.740
I didn't necessarily think of it
1376
00:47:06.740 --> 00:47:08.840
as being a classic. Ten men is a lot
1377
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:09.880
of people, right?
1378
00:47:10.600 --> 00:47:12.960
I didn't think it was a match of the
1379
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:14.360
year contender. Right.
1380
00:47:14.600 --> 00:47:16.280
I thought it would just be fine and goofy.
1381
00:47:19.640 --> 00:47:20.600
who was it?
1382
00:47:20.600 --> 00:47:22.080
It was when they were on
1383
00:47:22.600 --> 00:47:24.520
the barrier near the crowd and they flipped
1384
00:47:24.520 --> 00:47:28.600
onto the table. Oh,
1385
00:47:28.700 --> 00:47:31.140
it was the Rascals with
1386
00:47:31.140 --> 00:47:32.380
Swerve. Yeah. Or with
1387
00:47:32.380 --> 00:47:34.800
Swerve Ricochet. Sorry. And Ricochet.
1388
00:47:35.520 --> 00:47:36.040
Holy
1389
00:47:36.040 --> 00:47:38.360
What the fuck was that?
1390
00:47:40.740 --> 00:47:42.200
It was so
1391
00:47:42.200 --> 00:47:44.540
Oh, it was just such a clean
1392
00:47:44.540 --> 00:47:46.480
move. It was. It was.
1393
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:48.600
You know, it was funny that
1394
00:47:48.600 --> 00:47:50.480
first Rascals promo that they did on
1395
00:47:51.100 --> 00:47:51.620
Collision.
1396
00:47:51.620 --> 00:47:53.660
A number of people I know
1397
00:47:53.660 --> 00:47:55.640
were like, OK, we get it, guys. You smoke weed.
1398
00:47:55.640 --> 00:47:56.560
This seems kind of dated.
1399
00:47:57.940 --> 00:47:59.500
What a perfect fit
1400
00:47:59.500 --> 00:48:01.740
they are for AEW. Holy
1401
00:48:01.740 --> 00:48:03.580
crap. Oh, my God. Yes. They did that
1402
00:48:03.580 --> 00:48:05.620
Street Fight on the top of
1403
00:48:05.620 --> 00:48:07.740
the building on Collision with
1404
00:48:07.740 --> 00:48:10.000
Eddie Kingston and Ortiz.
1405
00:48:10.180 --> 00:48:11.360
That was fucking
1406
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:13.840
awesome. They bumped like fucking crazy.
1407
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:15.860
And then in this match, they were just unbelievable.
1408
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:17.880
But just for context,
1409
00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:19.640
in case anybody doesn't
1410
00:48:19.640 --> 00:48:21.780
know what we're talking about, the Young Bucks, Jack
1411
00:48:21.780 --> 00:48:23.640
Perry and the Rascals, two of them
1412
00:48:24.200 --> 00:48:25.760
teamed up to take on
1413
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:27.700
FTR in the Demand,
1414
00:48:27.820 --> 00:48:29.620
which just in case you don't know, is
1415
00:48:29.620 --> 00:48:31.420
Ricochet and Gates of Agony.
1416
00:48:33.340 --> 00:48:33.820
But
1417
00:48:34.300 --> 00:48:35.820
this was basically, I called
1418
00:48:35.820 --> 00:48:37.780
this Anarchy in the Arena the Flippy Shit
1419
00:48:37.780 --> 00:48:39.680
version. OK, this
1420
00:48:40.340 --> 00:48:41.700
but it wasn't just
1421
00:48:41.700 --> 00:48:43.160
Flippy Shit. It advanced
1422
00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:45.900
a ton of stories
1423
00:48:45.900 --> 00:48:49.620
all at once. The
1424
00:48:49.620 --> 00:48:51.960
like this, like something
1425
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:53.840
bigger than a tag team match. That match
1426
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:55.760
is going to be good. OK, these guys are
1427
00:48:56.560 --> 00:48:57.420
and FTR
1428
00:48:57.420 --> 00:48:59.760
as well. I mean, they're just insanely good at
1429
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:00.820
this shit.
1430
00:49:01.080 --> 00:49:04.040
Because they know also how to move other pieces.
1431
00:49:06.260 --> 00:49:07.840
Well, and so
1432
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:09.740
FTR had fucking piled
1433
00:49:09.740 --> 00:49:11.840
drove their fucking brother, you
1434
00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.960
know? Yeah. And so this advanced
1435
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:15.000
that
1436
00:49:15.560 --> 00:49:17.700
story of them trying to avenge that.
1437
00:49:17.700 --> 00:49:19.520
And it also advanced an ongoing rivalry
1438
00:49:19.520 --> 00:49:21.460
that's been kind of low key between Ricochet and
1439
00:49:21.460 --> 00:49:23.560
Jack Perry. I think they're going to have
1440
00:49:23.560 --> 00:49:25.640
a match for the national title at Revolution.
1441
00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:27.460
And I suspect
1442
00:49:27.460 --> 00:49:28.560
Jack Perry might win.
1443
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:31.500
And it also served as a showcase for
1444
00:49:31.500 --> 00:49:33.420
the Rascals and Gates of Agony
1445
00:49:33.420 --> 00:49:35.760
because Gates of Agony did some crazy
1446
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:36.920
brutal looking shit.
1447
00:49:37.600 --> 00:49:39.340
Oh, yeah. Tonga
1448
00:49:39.340 --> 00:49:41.680
or Toa
1449
00:49:41.680 --> 00:49:42.140
Leona.
1450
00:49:43.740 --> 00:49:45.700
What the fuck? I mean, this guy
1451
00:49:45.700 --> 00:49:46.720
is a beast.
1452
00:49:47.940 --> 00:49:50.080
A beast. So incredibly
1453
00:49:50.080 --> 00:49:51.900
good. And this is kind
1454
00:49:51.900 --> 00:49:53.740
of like I'm really glad like as much as
1455
00:49:53.740 --> 00:49:55.820
like I know people are in order that we're getting FTR versus the
1456
00:49:55.820 --> 00:49:57.580
Young Bucks, but you clearly see
1457
00:49:57.580 --> 00:49:58.880
they're really developing
1458
00:49:59.560 --> 00:50:01.780
the rest of the tag team right now
1459
00:50:01.780 --> 00:50:02.720
through this stuff.
1460
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:06.040
And what's going to happen
1461
00:50:06.040 --> 00:50:07.240
with the tag team
1462
00:50:08.020 --> 00:50:09.640
division, I think mid
1463
00:50:09.640 --> 00:50:11.760
year is going to be
1464
00:50:13.140 --> 00:50:14.600
incredible. Yes.
1465
00:50:14.600 --> 00:50:17.040
Yes. And I think that there's
1466
00:50:17.040 --> 00:50:19.020
like the Bucks and
1467
00:50:19.020 --> 00:50:20.720
FTR are both getting they
1468
00:50:20.720 --> 00:50:23.300
have a lot less time left than they
1469
00:50:23.300 --> 00:50:24.360
did to this point.
1470
00:50:25.300 --> 00:50:27.000
You're going to put your
1471
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:28.700
belts on them because you want them
1472
00:50:28.700 --> 00:50:30.820
in your lineage and you want them to be
1473
00:50:30.820 --> 00:50:32.960
considered two of the best in the long term.
1474
00:50:33.140 --> 00:50:34.840
But to me, it finally
1475
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.020
feels like they actually
1476
00:50:37.020 --> 00:50:38.860
have a generation of teams
1477
00:50:38.860 --> 00:50:40.740
coming up behind the Bucks.
1478
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:42.800
Like the Rascals could be the
1479
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:44.760
young Bucks of the future. Oh, yeah.
1480
00:50:44.820 --> 00:50:46.880
You also have private party that could be the
1481
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:48.820
young like our
1482
00:50:48.820 --> 00:50:50.540
very young Buck-esque. I mean like
1483
00:50:51.580 --> 00:50:52.940
and it seems like that's
1484
00:50:52.940 --> 00:50:54.980
how they're also splitting them up with who they
1485
00:50:55.740 --> 00:50:57.120
team them up with.
1486
00:50:57.580 --> 00:50:58.720
Yeah. Well, because that's
1487
00:50:58.720 --> 00:51:00.980
the other thing. The Gates have attacked
1488
00:51:00.980 --> 00:51:02.800
the Young Bucks several times.
1489
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:05.080
Unrelated to the FTR
1490
00:51:05.080 --> 00:51:06.380
stuff. So it's like
1491
00:51:08.040 --> 00:51:09.000
I'm starting to feel
1492
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:10.500
like the Bucks are winning at Revolution.
1493
00:51:10.500 --> 00:51:13.140
I didn't feel as strongly about that before,
1494
00:51:13.600 --> 00:51:15.620
but I think
1495
00:51:15.620 --> 00:51:16.740
FTR needs to be led
1496
00:51:16.740 --> 00:51:18.920
back to Copeland and Christian
1497
00:51:19.820 --> 00:51:20.940
and them not
1498
00:51:20.940 --> 00:51:22.800
having the belts might actually make that a little
1499
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:24.340
easier. Yeah.
1500
00:51:24.640 --> 00:51:26.840
I now think that having
1501
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:28.600
I could also see the Young Bucks
1502
00:51:28.600 --> 00:51:30.720
wanting to lose. Make
1503
00:51:30.720 --> 00:51:32.580
the Young Bucks your
1504
00:51:32.580 --> 00:51:34.280
sort of like your Gunther.
1505
00:51:35.500 --> 00:51:36.960
Have people on their
1506
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:38.660
way out, win or lose
1507
00:51:38.660 --> 00:51:40.640
to the Young Bucks. Yeah. Yeah.
1508
00:51:42.460 --> 00:51:44.600
Well, and so you mentioned
1509
00:51:44.600 --> 00:51:47.080
the double Spanish fly that they did
1510
00:51:47.080 --> 00:51:48.860
on the outside.
1511
00:51:49.500 --> 00:51:50.820
There was a lot
1512
00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:52.560
of great moments in the match.
1513
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:54.780
The cover art for this episode is that double
1514
00:51:54.780 --> 00:51:56.420
Spanish fly to Ricochet.
1515
00:51:57.360 --> 00:51:58.680
I was so happy
1516
00:51:58.680 --> 00:52:00.900
when they did the replay because I was like
1517
00:52:00.900 --> 00:52:02.890
I need to see that again.
1518
00:52:08.110 --> 00:52:09.130
Larry Lai with
1519
00:52:09.130 --> 00:52:11.690
the comment of the night so far.
1520
00:52:12.150 --> 00:52:13.490
Malachi Buck already contributing
1521
00:52:13.490 --> 00:52:15.270
more to AEW than Malachi Black.
1522
00:52:15.810 --> 00:52:17.310
So true.
1523
00:52:18.410 --> 00:52:19.650
Malachi Buck doesn't
1524
00:52:19.650 --> 00:52:21.170
mind getting on his back either.
1525
00:52:21.750 --> 00:52:22.430
Yeah. Yeah. No kidding.
1526
00:52:23.910 --> 00:52:25.110
But yeah.
1527
00:52:25.210 --> 00:52:27.010
So that was just an incredible match.
1528
00:52:27.310 --> 00:52:29.170
And just it didn't even start
1529
00:52:29.170 --> 00:52:31.390
till like there was two minutes left in the regular
1530
00:52:31.390 --> 00:52:33.210
show and then it goes for like 20 minutes.
1531
00:52:33.470 --> 00:52:35.410
It's just a spectacle.
1532
00:52:35.610 --> 00:52:37.390
I just think at this point make Dynamite
1533
00:52:38.090 --> 00:52:39.650
till 1030. Make it two and a half
1534
00:52:39.650 --> 00:52:41.650
hours because almost every
1535
00:52:41.650 --> 00:52:43.670
night and almost every week we've pushed it to almost
1536
00:52:43.670 --> 00:52:45.470
1030. Just make it official.
1537
00:52:45.650 --> 00:52:47.330
They have carte blanche it seems like.
1538
00:52:47.470 --> 00:52:49.710
Because they're going to get better ratings than whatever comes on
1539
00:52:49.710 --> 00:52:51.550
next anyway. So like
1540
00:52:51.550 --> 00:52:52.730
why not?
1541
00:52:54.090 --> 00:52:55.630
But I also love
1542
00:52:55.630 --> 00:52:57.570
Tarzan Boy being the song that they played
1543
00:52:57.570 --> 00:52:59.570
on repeat. I love that.
1544
00:52:59.570 --> 00:53:01.990
I knew we were in for a good night
1545
00:53:01.990 --> 00:53:03.750
because I was like oh this is giving
1546
00:53:03.750 --> 00:53:05.930
anarchy in the arena vibes and we're getting
1547
00:53:07.010 --> 00:53:07.890
a song
1548
00:53:07.890 --> 00:53:09.290
playing into the match.
1549
00:53:09.550 --> 00:53:11.650
I love Jack Perry coming out and
1550
00:53:11.650 --> 00:53:13.550
immediately getting ambushed by the entire
1551
00:53:13.550 --> 00:53:15.550
rest of the next of the other team
1552
00:53:15.550 --> 00:53:17.410
who hadn't even come out
1553
00:53:17.410 --> 00:53:19.090
officially yet. And so
1554
00:53:19.090 --> 00:53:21.710
this was obviously the way to get Tarzan
1555
00:53:21.710 --> 00:53:23.750
Boy to be the song that played. And when it started
1556
00:53:23.750 --> 00:53:25.890
over that was hilarious.
1557
00:53:26.670 --> 00:53:27.370
Tarzan Boy.
1558
00:53:27.370 --> 00:53:29.110
This isn't fucking wild thing.
1559
00:53:29.590 --> 00:53:31.470
This isn't you know some rip
1560
00:53:31.470 --> 00:53:33.470
roaring fucking thing. This is bodies hit
1561
00:53:33.470 --> 00:53:35.630
the floor. This is Tarzan Boy.
1562
00:53:36.190 --> 00:53:37.570
That was so fucking
1563
00:53:37.570 --> 00:53:38.010
funny.
1564
00:53:39.410 --> 00:53:41.490
It's funny because like I feel like Tarzan Boy
1565
00:53:41.490 --> 00:53:43.310
coming back is that first real nostalgia
1566
00:53:43.310 --> 00:53:44.370
pop for AEW.
1567
00:53:45.330 --> 00:53:47.410
For a company that's six years old the fact that they can already
1568
00:53:47.410 --> 00:53:49.370
have a nostalgia pop is pretty incredible
1569
00:53:49.370 --> 00:53:50.730
and that's Tarzan Boy.
1570
00:53:52.050 --> 00:53:53.270
Super kick party.
1571
00:53:53.710 --> 00:53:55.450
My very good friend said
1572
00:53:55.450 --> 00:53:57.610
one of the big mile markers for
1573
00:53:57.610 --> 00:53:59.510
AEW will be when somebody leaves
1574
00:53:59.510 --> 00:54:01.590
goes to WWE and comes back
1575
00:54:01.590 --> 00:54:03.610
to AEW. So
1576
00:54:03.610 --> 00:54:04.130
Andrade.
1577
00:54:05.230 --> 00:54:07.630
That was a big marker pose this
1578
00:54:07.630 --> 00:54:09.630
year. And it really shows you the health of
1579
00:54:09.630 --> 00:54:11.710
the business overall that there are so
1580
00:54:11.710 --> 00:54:13.770
many ways to like move around
1581
00:54:13.770 --> 00:54:15.490
and keep yourself fresh as a performer
1582
00:54:15.490 --> 00:54:17.570
now. You know you don't have to
1583
00:54:17.570 --> 00:54:18.770
stay in one company forever.
1584
00:54:19.430 --> 00:54:21.550
And just like
1585
00:54:21.550 --> 00:54:23.390
you would in a regular job moving
1586
00:54:23.390 --> 00:54:25.210
around is healthy. It is.
1587
00:54:26.350 --> 00:54:27.110
It is.
1588
00:54:27.270 --> 00:54:29.430
Unless you leave because you think the grass is going to be
1589
00:54:29.430 --> 00:54:30.990
greener. Yeah. Right.
1590
00:54:31.990 --> 00:54:32.790
It's not.
1591
00:54:33.250 --> 00:54:35.530
Looking at you a lot of you who
1592
00:54:35.530 --> 00:54:37.690
left. A lot of you. Great Phoenix.
1593
00:54:37.790 --> 00:54:39.010
Who will remain nameless.
1594
00:54:39.430 --> 00:54:41.310
Yes. Yes. We're going to hit
1595
00:54:41.310 --> 00:54:43.330
the music when we come back. We're going to
1596
00:54:43.330 --> 00:54:45.310
talk about the new matches that have been added to
1597
00:54:45.310 --> 00:54:47.430
Revolution. Kind of the build that they did for
1598
00:54:47.430 --> 00:54:49.350
some of the matches at Revolution. We're going to do
1599
00:54:49.350 --> 00:54:51.470
some quick hits and then we're going to get the hell out of here.
1600
00:54:51.470 --> 00:54:53.630
Sound good? Sounds good. All right.
1601
00:55:14.070 --> 00:55:16.570
Okay. We're back and we
1602
00:55:16.570 --> 00:55:18.550
are now talking about matches
1603
00:55:18.550 --> 00:55:20.550
happening at Revolution and matches
1604
00:55:20.550 --> 00:55:22.550
that haven't officially been announced but seem
1605
00:55:22.550 --> 00:55:24.830
like they're going to be very soon.
1606
00:55:26.390 --> 00:55:28.470
Hanger and MJF had what I considered a great
1607
00:55:28.470 --> 00:55:30.570
segment this week where MJF
1608
00:55:30.570 --> 00:55:32.250
did the very old school
1609
00:55:32.250 --> 00:55:34.690
top territory heel shit.
1610
00:55:34.690 --> 00:55:36.610
Pulled some basic like
1611
00:55:36.610 --> 00:55:38.550
I tried to cheat with a
1612
00:55:38.550 --> 00:55:39.930
double sided coin.
1613
00:55:41.230 --> 00:55:42.530
Question. Did you see that
1614
00:55:42.530 --> 00:55:44.590
coming? Because I knew immediately as he said he had a
1615
00:55:44.590 --> 00:55:45.930
coin. Oh, I knew immediately.
1616
00:55:46.690 --> 00:55:48.750
No, I think everybody did.
1617
00:55:48.930 --> 00:55:50.710
And I think that was kind of part of the gag
1618
00:55:50.710 --> 00:55:52.030
was like. It was.
1619
00:55:52.270 --> 00:55:54.590
It was like everyone knew what was coming.
1620
00:55:54.990 --> 00:55:56.550
They even let Hangman
1621
00:55:57.410 --> 00:55:58.790
like let you think
1622
00:55:58.790 --> 00:56:00.430
that Hangman didn't realize it.
1623
00:56:00.450 --> 00:56:01.910
And then he's like, wait a minute, Max.
1624
00:56:03.130 --> 00:56:04.650
If I'm going to do this
1625
00:56:04.650 --> 00:56:05.950
like let me see that coin.
1626
00:56:05.950 --> 00:56:07.390
You know, let me see that coin.
1627
00:56:09.030 --> 00:56:10.010
And Max played
1628
00:56:10.010 --> 00:56:11.630
his part very well.
1629
00:56:11.950 --> 00:56:13.310
So Max wanted to have
1630
00:56:14.130 --> 00:56:15.650
a one sided no
1631
00:56:15.650 --> 00:56:17.970
DQ match where if anything
1632
00:56:17.970 --> 00:56:20.170
Max did wasn't illegal and
1633
00:56:20.170 --> 00:56:21.850
everything Hanger did would be illegal
1634
00:56:21.850 --> 00:56:24.050
if he used a weapon of any kind.
1635
00:56:24.290 --> 00:56:25.390
Anything like that.
1636
00:56:25.550 --> 00:56:26.690
I thought it was a cute
1637
00:56:28.850 --> 00:56:30.010
wrinkle to add to
1638
00:56:30.010 --> 00:56:30.730
the whole thing.
1639
00:56:32.230 --> 00:56:34.130
So MJF gets caught
1640
00:56:34.130 --> 00:56:35.110
obviously cheating.
1641
00:56:36.610 --> 00:56:38.130
He tries to leave and
1642
00:56:39.930 --> 00:56:40.410
Speedball
1643
00:56:40.410 --> 00:56:42.290
and Kevin Knight both stop
1644
00:56:42.290 --> 00:56:44.170
him. He tries to go the other way
1645
00:56:44.170 --> 00:56:46.190
and Brody and Bandito stop him.
1646
00:56:46.190 --> 00:56:48.270
And I think that's telling you something about all
1647
00:56:48.270 --> 00:56:50.490
these guys and where they're seen kind of in the
1648
00:56:50.490 --> 00:56:52.330
in the main event scene right now.
1649
00:56:53.410 --> 00:56:54.230
Kevin Knight might be a main
1650
00:56:54.230 --> 00:56:56.030
event or by the end of this year.
1651
00:56:56.350 --> 00:56:58.130
100% they are pushing him.
1652
00:56:58.950 --> 00:56:59.210
Yeah.
1653
00:57:00.730 --> 00:57:01.570
No doubt.
1654
00:57:01.570 --> 00:57:03.470
Yep. So MJF
1655
00:57:03.470 --> 00:57:05.670
is exposed as cheating and Tony
1656
00:57:05.670 --> 00:57:07.630
Khan just announces that the match they're going
1657
00:57:07.630 --> 00:57:09.550
to have at Revolution will be Texas death.
1658
00:57:10.570 --> 00:57:11.650
We kind of all I think we
1659
00:57:11.650 --> 00:57:12.810
all kind of saw that coming.
1660
00:57:14.690 --> 00:57:15.690
Because hang man
1661
00:57:15.690 --> 00:57:17.470
doesn't just go Texas
1662
00:57:17.470 --> 00:57:19.330
death. And then they
1663
00:57:19.330 --> 00:57:21.570
pick a different stipulation. That's not
1664
00:57:21.570 --> 00:57:23.610
going to happen. So at least
1665
00:57:23.610 --> 00:57:25.650
I was right about one thing and it was that
1666
00:57:25.650 --> 00:57:27.050
thing. So I was
1667
00:57:27.050 --> 00:57:27.230
right.
1668
00:57:28.190 --> 00:57:29.490
Yay. Good job.
1669
00:57:30.210 --> 00:57:31.370
I really have no
1670
00:57:31.370 --> 00:57:33.370
this match could go either way. I
1671
00:57:33.370 --> 00:57:35.370
really don't know where it's going to
1672
00:57:35.370 --> 00:57:37.150
go. I think everything
1673
00:57:37.150 --> 00:57:39.320
was swerve. I'm leaning towards
1674
00:57:40.030 --> 00:57:41.030
a hanger
1675
00:57:41.030 --> 00:57:43.330
hanger. I'm leaning towards
1676
00:57:43.330 --> 00:57:45.650
I think I'm leaning towards hanger because I think
1677
00:57:45.650 --> 00:57:47.730
just even the tease
1678
00:57:47.730 --> 00:57:49.270
of hang man not being able to challenge
1679
00:57:49.270 --> 00:57:51.630
for the belt would be really
1680
00:57:51.630 --> 00:57:52.850
that was not taken well.
1681
00:57:54.290 --> 00:57:55.310
So I
1682
00:57:55.310 --> 00:57:57.410
think they know they need to. I don't know
1683
00:57:57.410 --> 00:57:59.330
if they would let it play out. You know what I mean?
1684
00:57:59.390 --> 00:58:01.490
I just don't know. I don't even think they really
1685
00:58:01.490 --> 00:58:03.270
mentioned it this week. I don't recall
1686
00:58:03.270 --> 00:58:04.930
hearing it because I was listening. Hanger did.
1687
00:58:05.270 --> 00:58:07.230
Hanger said it in the book. Oh he did? Yes. He said
1688
00:58:07.230 --> 00:58:09.630
like if I'm going to put you know
1689
00:58:09.630 --> 00:58:11.450
my ability to ever challenge for
1690
00:58:11.450 --> 00:58:13.610
this again on the line, you know
1691
00:58:14.530 --> 00:58:15.430
I need to see
1692
00:58:15.430 --> 00:58:16.870
that quarter or whatever it was.
1693
00:58:17.310 --> 00:58:19.310
So Hanger mentioned it but it wasn't
1694
00:58:19.830 --> 00:58:21.390
there wasn't as much made about it as there
1695
00:58:21.390 --> 00:58:22.330
was last week. Yeah.
1696
00:58:23.130 --> 00:58:24.870
But also MJF did
1697
00:58:24.870 --> 00:58:26.810
invoke something that I thought was worth mentioning
1698
00:58:26.810 --> 00:58:28.310
is like he was intimately involved
1699
00:58:28.310 --> 00:58:30.910
in the Cody match where Cody lost as well.
1700
00:58:31.190 --> 00:58:32.610
That's where MJF turned on
1701
00:58:32.610 --> 00:58:34.150
Cody. So
1702
00:58:34.150 --> 00:58:36.930
it was kind of after the match but you know
1703
00:58:36.930 --> 00:58:38.210
he threw in the towel
1704
00:58:38.770 --> 00:58:40.610
for Cody. That's what ended the
1705
00:58:40.610 --> 00:58:42.310
match and
1706
00:58:42.310 --> 00:58:44.630
made it so that Cody could never challenge and then he
1707
00:58:44.630 --> 00:58:46.610
kicked Cody in the balls immediately afterwards.
1708
00:58:47.550 --> 00:58:48.710
So MJF's been involved
1709
00:58:48.710 --> 00:58:50.250
in both times these
1710
00:58:50.250 --> 00:58:52.650
stipulations come up. So
1711
00:58:52.650 --> 00:58:54.210
it's going to be interesting.
1712
00:58:54.550 --> 00:58:55.290
It's going to be interesting.
1713
00:58:56.450 --> 00:58:58.590
But so I'm loving that
1714
00:58:58.590 --> 00:59:00.490
FTR and Bucks has a lot more
1715
00:59:00.490 --> 00:59:02.350
heat behind it now. I'm certainly
1716
00:59:02.350 --> 00:59:04.530
suspect the Bucks are going to win like I said.
1717
00:59:05.050 --> 00:59:06.410
I do too. I think they're
1718
00:59:06.410 --> 00:59:08.470
going to win and I think that's a great idea.
1719
00:59:08.530 --> 00:59:10.370
Why not? Like they're so
1720
00:59:10.370 --> 00:59:11.730
over right now. Like
1721
00:59:12.250 --> 00:59:14.330
the way Jack Perry and the Young Bucks have gotten
1722
00:59:14.330 --> 00:59:16.250
over strictly for going back
1723
00:59:16.770 --> 00:59:18.150
to their roots.
1724
00:59:18.150 --> 00:59:18.610
Yeah.
1725
00:59:19.790 --> 00:59:20.310
Yeah.
1726
00:59:21.870 --> 00:59:24.270
We have Moxley and Takeshita. No time
1727
00:59:24.270 --> 00:59:26.370
limit. We can't get a title
1728
00:59:26.370 --> 00:59:28.370
change every match and so far that's what I
1729
00:59:28.370 --> 00:59:28.850
predicted.
1730
00:59:30.310 --> 00:59:32.370
But based on what we know it really does feel like
1731
00:59:32.370 --> 00:59:34.250
Takeshita could do more with the Continental title
1732
00:59:34.250 --> 00:59:34.950
than Moxley.
1733
00:59:35.650 --> 00:59:38.510
It also just leads more into the Okada
1734
00:59:39.210 --> 00:59:40.150
drama. So
1735
00:59:40.150 --> 00:59:42.150
I do think it's going to be
1736
00:59:43.410 --> 00:59:43.930
Takeshita.
1737
00:59:44.490 --> 00:59:44.690
That's
1738
00:59:46.270 --> 00:59:46.750
I'm
1739
00:59:46.750 --> 00:59:48.750
story-wise to me it just makes more sense.
1740
00:59:48.970 --> 00:59:50.570
Yeah. I mean we are predicting
1741
00:59:50.570 --> 00:59:53.010
three title changes in three title matches
1742
00:59:53.010 --> 00:59:54.630
but at the same time
1743
00:59:55.130 --> 00:59:56.990
that's what seems most likely
1744
00:59:56.990 --> 00:59:58.990
probably one of these. We haven't had a
1745
00:59:58.990 --> 01:00:00.630
pay-per-view in three months. Yeah.
1746
01:00:00.810 --> 01:00:02.670
That's true. It's a title
1747
01:00:02.670 --> 01:00:03.810
change for every
1748
01:00:04.590 --> 01:00:06.610
month without a pay-per-view. For every month we haven't
1749
01:00:06.610 --> 01:00:07.430
had one.
1750
01:00:08.810 --> 01:00:09.770
And then
1751
01:00:10.610 --> 01:00:12.970
after the match with Mark Davis Brody King
1752
01:00:12.970 --> 01:00:14.930
told Swerve like
1753
01:00:14.930 --> 01:00:16.990
bro you I'm laying out the challenge
1754
01:00:16.990 --> 01:00:18.910
I don't got anything for
1755
01:00:19.630 --> 01:00:20.910
I don't have anything
1756
01:00:20.910 --> 01:00:23.010
for a revolution right
1757
01:00:23.010 --> 01:00:25.250
now. And if you're the most dangerous
1758
01:00:25.250 --> 01:00:27.110
man well I'm the most dangerous man.
1759
01:00:28.070 --> 01:00:28.590
So
1760
01:00:29.850 --> 01:00:31.090
you know we're going to fight
1761
01:00:31.090 --> 01:00:32.550
to see who is.
1762
01:00:33.050 --> 01:00:35.170
That match has not officially been confirmed but
1763
01:00:35.170 --> 01:00:36.550
duh they're not going to do this.
1764
01:00:37.150 --> 01:00:39.290
You know what never mind Swerve's going to wrestle
1765
01:00:39.290 --> 01:00:40.090
like fucking
1766
01:00:40.090 --> 01:00:42.450
No that makes the most sense.
1767
01:00:42.770 --> 01:00:44.390
Yeah. Like because it's going to also have the most
1768
01:00:44.390 --> 01:00:46.350
hype. You have two
1769
01:00:46.350 --> 01:00:48.190
very over men
1770
01:00:48.190 --> 01:00:50.030
in two very different ways.
1771
01:00:50.030 --> 01:00:52.350
Right. And what if
1772
01:00:52.350 --> 01:00:54.070
what if
1773
01:00:54.070 --> 01:00:55.650
you had
1774
01:00:55.650 --> 01:00:58.230
Kenny make a surprise return
1775
01:00:58.230 --> 01:01:00.210
and cost Swerve match with Brody
1776
01:01:00.210 --> 01:01:00.950
in LA.
1777
01:01:02.070 --> 01:01:04.190
I think that would happen
1778
01:01:04.190 --> 01:01:05.830
but I also
1779
01:01:05.830 --> 01:01:08.110
see Kenny also making a sure neither
1780
01:01:08.110 --> 01:01:09.210
one of them win.
1781
01:01:10.110 --> 01:01:11.610
Who knows who knows.
1782
01:01:12.070 --> 01:01:13.810
But yeah
1783
01:01:13.810 --> 01:01:15.910
I mean so the stage is set
1784
01:01:15.910 --> 01:01:17.670
for some really really cool stuff.
1785
01:01:19.230 --> 01:01:19.950
Yeah.
1786
01:01:20.890 --> 01:01:21.610
So
1787
01:01:21.610 --> 01:01:24.150
there's that and then Bandito
1788
01:01:24.150 --> 01:01:25.710
is out with Brody and he goes
1789
01:01:25.710 --> 01:01:27.110
I want to fight.
1790
01:01:29.180 --> 01:01:32.040
And I was like what? And then
1791
01:01:32.040 --> 01:01:33.400
Andrade's music hits.
1792
01:01:34.460 --> 01:01:35.640
We're clearly getting
1793
01:01:35.640 --> 01:01:37.600
Bandito versus Andrade folks.
1794
01:01:37.600 --> 01:01:40.200
I don't know why but I need
1795
01:01:40.200 --> 01:01:42.900
that. This fucking
1796
01:01:42.900 --> 01:01:44.320
madman who runs
1797
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:45.920
AEW. He is insane.
1798
01:01:46.020 --> 01:01:48.320
He's insane. He's insane. And like the best
1799
01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:50.640
you know I tell him this daily. I said
1800
01:01:50.640 --> 01:01:51.900
Tony you're
1801
01:01:51.900 --> 01:01:54.240
insane. You're giving these people
1802
01:01:54.240 --> 01:01:55.940
way too much. Yeah.
1803
01:01:55.940 --> 01:01:57.880
And then you charge them pennies on the dollar
1804
01:01:57.880 --> 01:01:59.960
for a pay per view. Yeah. Yeah.
1805
01:02:00.100 --> 01:02:01.960
And you wonder why they
1806
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:03.840
worship you. Bandito
1807
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:05.600
versus Andrade has big
1808
01:02:05.600 --> 01:02:07.620
like steal the show vibes.
1809
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:09.380
Like yeah.
1810
01:02:09.620 --> 01:02:11.600
Because they're both so
1811
01:02:12.120 --> 01:02:13.200
fucking good. Yeah.
1812
01:02:13.200 --> 01:02:15.560
I don't think I've ever liked Andrade
1813
01:02:15.560 --> 01:02:17.220
this much in Ring.
1814
01:02:17.700 --> 01:02:20.000
Than I do now. And it's very
1815
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:22.020
clear that
1816
01:02:22.020 --> 01:02:23.620
everything else that was happening
1817
01:02:23.620 --> 01:02:25.460
kind of inhibited like
1818
01:02:25.460 --> 01:02:27.600
Andrade from being like
1819
01:02:29.460 --> 01:02:31.600
or him being able to give it his all.
1820
01:02:33.040 --> 01:02:33.440
Because
1821
01:02:33.440 --> 01:02:35.460
holy fuck right now. Yeah.
1822
01:02:35.460 --> 01:02:37.400
He wasn't fully present the first time he was
1823
01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:39.460
in AEW. Like it's just no no
1824
01:02:39.460 --> 01:02:41.240
he wasn't. You know I think
1825
01:02:41.240 --> 01:02:43.340
his personal life his wife worked
1826
01:02:43.340 --> 01:02:45.560
in WWE and it was a very
1827
01:02:45.560 --> 01:02:47.020
notable person in WWE.
1828
01:02:47.520 --> 01:02:49.480
The only time before this that I really
1829
01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:51.460
saw Andrade click was in
1830
01:02:51.460 --> 01:02:53.460
NXT when he was the NXT champion.
1831
01:02:54.060 --> 01:02:55.480
He had some crazy good
1832
01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:57.460
matches and I've been like a fan ever
1833
01:02:57.460 --> 01:02:59.380
since then. Just waiting for that guy
1834
01:02:59.380 --> 01:03:01.420
to come back. When he first showed up
1835
01:03:01.420 --> 01:03:03.500
in AEW the first time I was like fuck
1836
01:03:03.500 --> 01:03:05.460
yeah. And then it was just kind
1837
01:03:05.460 --> 01:03:07.420
of disappointing. It was very
1838
01:03:07.420 --> 01:03:09.320
disappointing. This was the guy I was
1839
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:11.340
hoping for. Yeah. And this is one
1840
01:03:11.340 --> 01:03:13.140
we have now. And I definitely think this is a match
1841
01:03:13.140 --> 01:03:15.320
because obviously Bandito is in it. That will make
1842
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:17.400
grown men cry again. Yeah.
1843
01:03:18.640 --> 01:03:19.500
And the
1844
01:03:19.500 --> 01:03:21.260
minute Andrade hits that spinning
1845
01:03:21.260 --> 01:03:23.220
elbow thing on Bandito and Bandito
1846
01:03:23.220 --> 01:03:25.200
does like a triple flip.
1847
01:03:26.620 --> 01:03:27.080
Because he
1848
01:03:27.080 --> 01:03:29.040
sounds like crazy.
1849
01:03:30.260 --> 01:03:32.380
There's multiple match of the night
1850
01:03:32.380 --> 01:03:34.460
match of the night match of the year
1851
01:03:34.460 --> 01:03:36.020
contenders in one
1852
01:03:36.020 --> 01:03:38.160
pay-per-view. We have yet
1853
01:03:38.160 --> 01:03:39.720
to announce what Tekla is even doing.
1854
01:03:40.420 --> 01:03:42.000
We have yet to announce
1855
01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:44.080
do they do a tag title
1856
01:03:44.080 --> 01:03:45.920
switch still before Revolution
1857
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:47.480
so that both titles can be defended?
1858
01:03:49.200 --> 01:03:50.140
Do they put
1859
01:03:50.140 --> 01:03:52.340
Lena Cross with Megan and they do that instead?
1860
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:54.020
Do they, who
1861
01:03:54.020 --> 01:03:56.340
knows? Or do they bring in the
1862
01:03:56.340 --> 01:03:57.960
Iconics earlier? Yeah.
1863
01:03:57.960 --> 01:04:00.100
Do they bring in the inspiration? Yeah, that's a good point.
1864
01:04:00.160 --> 01:04:01.700
Oh, inspiration. That's a good point.
1865
01:04:02.060 --> 01:04:03.760
No, good point. Point well taken.
1866
01:04:05.560 --> 01:04:06.180
But yeah,
1867
01:04:06.180 --> 01:04:08.000
I think that
1868
01:04:08.660 --> 01:04:09.540
Andrade looks
1869
01:04:10.140 --> 01:04:12.320
as good as I've ever seen him. He's in his
1870
01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:14.100
mid to late 30s now.
1871
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:16.120
So dude, if you're going to have
1872
01:04:16.120 --> 01:04:17.480
if you're going to be a legend,
1873
01:04:18.500 --> 01:04:19.460
now's the time.
1874
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:22.160
Now's the time, yeah. I honestly really
1875
01:04:22.160 --> 01:04:23.880
thought this would be when Mercedes returned.
1876
01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:25.920
But I don't. I think Mercedes
1877
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:27.680
is going to be an all-in return
1878
01:04:27.680 --> 01:04:31.360
based on how things
1879
01:04:31.360 --> 01:04:32.940
are looking. And she
1880
01:04:32.940 --> 01:04:35.260
very well deserves her time off
1881
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:37.400
like a six-month
1882
01:04:37.400 --> 01:04:39.460
leave. I could see her
1883
01:04:39.460 --> 01:04:41.320
returning. I could
1884
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:43.620
see her returning after
1885
01:04:43.620 --> 01:04:45.340
Revolution. I thought she would come back
1886
01:04:45.340 --> 01:04:47.460
at Revolution and now I'm kind of doubtful.
1887
01:04:48.520 --> 01:04:49.360
Yeah, I'm even
1888
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:51.140
doubtful then based on
1889
01:04:51.140 --> 01:04:53.400
like all the other stuff she's
1890
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:55.520
doing. Like, I think she's
1891
01:04:55.520 --> 01:04:57.720
I think the plan is to have her lose at all the
1892
01:04:57.720 --> 01:04:58.640
other promotions
1893
01:04:59.260 --> 01:05:01.000
and then have her come back.
1894
01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:03.500
I think she's very much focused on the indie stuff
1895
01:05:03.500 --> 01:05:05.500
right now, which is why I'm
1896
01:05:05.500 --> 01:05:07.180
thinking, because
1897
01:05:07.180 --> 01:05:09.840
don't forget the first time she was at AEW
1898
01:05:10.700 --> 01:05:11.880
was all in
1899
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:12.660
Wembley.
1900
01:05:13.220 --> 01:05:15.800
So I think that would be an epic
1901
01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:17.460
return. It would be.
1902
01:05:17.660 --> 01:05:19.580
It would be. Because that's when
1903
01:05:19.580 --> 01:05:21.660
all the speculation started. That's true.
1904
01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:23.760
I remember her being in the crowd at the first
1905
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:26.220
one, you know. They panned to her.
1906
01:05:26.420 --> 01:05:27.780
It was a huge deal. Yeah, they kept
1907
01:05:27.780 --> 01:05:29.940
showing her. Inject this
1908
01:05:29.940 --> 01:05:32.040
card into my veins the way it is
1909
01:05:32.040 --> 01:05:34.140
lining up so far. Like I said,
1910
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:35.900
who's Willow going to fight
1911
01:05:35.900 --> 01:05:37.360
for the TBS title?
1912
01:05:37.720 --> 01:05:39.760
Are the tag titles going to switch hands before?
1913
01:05:40.520 --> 01:05:41.860
I had a couple quick hits
1914
01:05:41.860 --> 01:05:43.860
that I just wanted to get in here before we
1915
01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:45.720
skedaddle.
1916
01:05:46.600 --> 01:05:47.780
Because I'm 50 years old.
1917
01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:49.680
50 year old men say skedaddle.
1918
01:05:51.100 --> 01:05:51.540
LClone.
1919
01:05:51.540 --> 01:05:55.210
Okay, Kenny. Kenny uses
1920
01:05:55.210 --> 01:05:56.930
words that I use all the time.
1921
01:05:57.050 --> 01:05:59.110
I mean, that's
1922
01:05:59.110 --> 01:06:01.150
what I love about Kenny. He makes me feel
1923
01:06:01.150 --> 01:06:03.150
like I have a spiritual brother out
1924
01:06:03.150 --> 01:06:05.110
there somewhere, you know, like he's
1925
01:06:05.110 --> 01:06:06.310
just the greatest wrestler.
1926
01:06:07.670 --> 01:06:09.070
You're betraying Don
1927
01:06:09.070 --> 01:06:11.230
like every week now.
1928
01:06:12.330 --> 01:06:13.170
Because I'm a
1929
01:06:13.170 --> 01:06:14.830
bad influence in me getting you talk nice.
1930
01:06:14.890 --> 01:06:16.890
You really have dragged me down.
1931
01:06:17.470 --> 01:06:19.070
You really, I mean, like
1932
01:06:19.070 --> 01:06:21.170
Josie G is leaving threatening messages for
1933
01:06:21.170 --> 01:06:22.690
me regularly.
1934
01:06:22.890 --> 01:06:25.110
Not to me. She sends me very nice messages.
1935
01:06:25.130 --> 01:06:27.150
Yeah. So unfair.
1936
01:06:29.060 --> 01:06:30.360
But I got to talk.
1937
01:06:30.420 --> 01:06:32.540
We got to talk about LClone and Mark Davis
1938
01:06:32.540 --> 01:06:33.980
for a minute. Both of these guys.
1939
01:06:34.940 --> 01:06:36.740
So they are so good.
1940
01:06:37.100 --> 01:06:38.520
Yeah. And Mark Davis
1941
01:06:38.520 --> 01:06:40.580
drew the short straw when Jake
1942
01:06:41.500 --> 01:06:42.600
Doyle got hurt
1943
01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:44.660
about a month
1944
01:06:44.660 --> 01:06:46.180
ago out of the blue.
1945
01:06:46.980 --> 01:06:48.640
They're this badass
1946
01:06:48.640 --> 01:06:50.520
tag team. Amazing tag team.
1947
01:06:51.860 --> 01:06:53.020
But Mark Davis
1948
01:06:53.020 --> 01:06:54.560
has been on TV having
1949
01:06:54.560 --> 01:06:56.940
banger matches every single
1950
01:06:56.940 --> 01:06:58.720
week and proving why
1951
01:06:58.720 --> 01:07:00.680
he's there. Yeah, I'm really
1952
01:07:00.680 --> 01:07:02.720
glad Tony is starting to utilize more
1953
01:07:02.720 --> 01:07:04.340
people in the Don Callis family
1954
01:07:04.340 --> 01:07:06.320
because we've already seen Fletcher and
1955
01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:08.180
Takeshta elevated.
1956
01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:09.920
Now it is time to get
1957
01:07:10.500 --> 01:07:12.440
like, I don't really think Andrade needs to be
1958
01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:14.620
elevated because I think he was already
1959
01:07:14.620 --> 01:07:16.860
like a big name. But now it's time for the Mark Davis's
1960
01:07:16.860 --> 01:07:18.540
for the LClones. The
1961
01:07:18.540 --> 01:07:19.780
Jake Doyle when he returns.
1962
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:22.020
Let's push these guys.
1963
01:07:23.660 --> 01:07:24.400
So I'm
1964
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:25.960
very proud of Tony for this.
1965
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:28.460
Yeah. Yeah. And you know
1966
01:07:28.460 --> 01:07:30.440
that Bandido has a premier
1967
01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:32.380
singles match on a pay-per-view.
1968
01:07:32.540 --> 01:07:34.800
Brody has a premier singles match on a pay-per-view.
1969
01:07:35.300 --> 01:07:36.620
That's all very
1970
01:07:36.620 --> 01:07:38.540
smart business. Yeah.
1971
01:07:38.560 --> 01:07:40.580
Very proud of them.
1972
01:07:41.160 --> 01:07:42.300
Yeah. Yeah.
1973
01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:44.460
Yeah. So it's really
1974
01:07:44.460 --> 01:07:46.100
cool. And then LClone
1975
01:07:46.100 --> 01:07:47.800
has a match with John Moxley.
1976
01:07:48.420 --> 01:07:50.200
Every time I've seen this guy do
1977
01:07:50.200 --> 01:07:52.240
anything, he blows
1978
01:07:52.240 --> 01:07:54.220
me away. I really
1979
01:07:54.220 --> 01:07:56.240
can't wait for hologram to be clear.
1980
01:07:56.660 --> 01:07:58.420
To watch them together
1981
01:07:58.420 --> 01:08:00.440
is going to make me cry.
1982
01:08:01.540 --> 01:08:02.180
I think
1983
01:08:02.180 --> 01:08:04.420
some people don't like the hologram gimmick.
1984
01:08:04.480 --> 01:08:06.260
I do. Just to
1985
01:08:06.260 --> 01:08:08.020
give you an example of some of the lore
1986
01:08:08.600 --> 01:08:09.920
behind Lucha Libre,
1987
01:08:10.140 --> 01:08:12.320
some of the characters. This is a classic Lucha
1988
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:13.860
Libre angle. Okay.
1989
01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:16.120
Modernized. So
1990
01:08:16.939 --> 01:08:18.040
the original
1991
01:08:18.040 --> 01:08:18.660
Pentagon
1992
01:08:20.620 --> 01:08:21.740
in Mexico
1993
01:08:22.500 --> 01:08:24.140
didn't really amount to shit.
1994
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:26.080
Okay. But you know who his
1995
01:08:26.080 --> 01:08:28.020
main rival was? Who he was created
1996
01:08:28.020 --> 01:08:30.180
to oppose was Octagon.
1997
01:08:31.180 --> 01:08:31.740
So
1998
01:08:31.740 --> 01:08:33.859
you got two guys named after shapes
1999
01:08:33.859 --> 01:08:36.560
that were fighting each other. And
2000
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:38.000
the original Pentagon
2001
01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:39.840
didn't end up doing much.
2002
01:08:39.880 --> 01:08:42.020
And it wasn't for like 30 years that they created
2003
01:08:42.020 --> 01:08:44.279
another one who you guys might be familiar
2004
01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:45.779
with. His name's Penta. Yeah.
2005
01:08:46.859 --> 01:08:48.240
But Octagon and Pentagon
2006
01:08:48.240 --> 01:08:50.399
were just contrary shapes
2007
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:51.760
that had a fucking feud.
2008
01:08:52.840 --> 01:08:54.200
And they were created
2009
01:08:54.200 --> 01:08:56.160
to go together. And that's what hologram
2010
01:08:56.160 --> 01:08:57.100
and Elclon are.
2011
01:08:58.020 --> 01:09:00.380
I see people saying they like Elclon better.
2012
01:09:00.899 --> 01:09:01.939
And you know what? That's hard.
2013
01:09:02.819 --> 01:09:04.279
I'm not going to argue with you about that.
2014
01:09:04.359 --> 01:09:05.580
I mean, Elclon rules.
2015
01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:08.160
The match with Moxley that
2016
01:09:08.160 --> 01:09:10.020
he could hang with a guy like Moxley and
2017
01:09:10.020 --> 01:09:12.020
look believable with Moxley.
2018
01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:15.760
Stock goes way up for me.
2019
01:09:15.819 --> 01:09:18.380
I can always tell who
2020
01:09:18.380 --> 01:09:19.740
AEW is going to start pushing
2021
01:09:19.740 --> 01:09:21.920
because they have matches against John
2022
01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:23.279
Moxley and Kenny Omega.
2023
01:09:24.540 --> 01:09:25.819
Because those are the two people.
2024
01:09:25.979 --> 01:09:28.080
Those are your two guys that are going
2025
01:09:28.080 --> 01:09:30.060
to be like, this is the
2026
01:09:30.060 --> 01:09:31.779
future. Let's push them.
2027
01:09:32.540 --> 01:09:34.660
Yeah. Yeah.
2028
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:35.319
Blurry line.
2029
01:09:35.859 --> 01:09:37.920
If you want to become a stud, you sign up to the
2030
01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:39.680
John Callis Fallis Palace of Malice.
2031
01:09:39.840 --> 01:09:41.260
Have you seen those paintings?
2032
01:09:44.210 --> 01:09:46.189
I learned something new. I didn't know that about Pentagon.
2033
01:09:48.050 --> 01:09:48.350
Yeah.
2034
01:09:49.550 --> 01:09:49.910
Yeah. Tino,
2035
01:09:50.170 --> 01:09:51.950
thank you for the historical perspective.
2036
01:09:52.529 --> 01:09:54.109
Seattle Miedo literally
2037
01:09:54.109 --> 01:09:56.050
comes from everyone telling Pentagon good luck
2038
01:09:56.050 --> 01:09:57.830
because that gimmick had always failed before.
2039
01:09:58.450 --> 01:09:59.890
So yeah, it had.
2040
01:10:00.130 --> 01:10:02.270
The original Pentagon did nothing.
2041
01:10:03.230 --> 01:10:03.770
All right.
2042
01:10:04.590 --> 01:10:06.290
So anyway, Mark Davis
2043
01:10:06.290 --> 01:10:08.030
and Elclon have really, really
2044
01:10:08.030 --> 01:10:10.030
stood out lately. I think that
2045
01:10:10.550 --> 01:10:12.190
Tony, just
2046
01:10:12.190 --> 01:10:14.130
proving he's got the
2047
01:10:14.130 --> 01:10:15.970
deepest roster I've ever seen.
2048
01:10:17.210 --> 01:10:18.170
And there's no
2049
01:10:18.170 --> 01:10:19.890
one has a roster like this right now.
2050
01:10:20.430 --> 01:10:22.030
Maybe an uncontroversial
2051
01:10:22.690 --> 01:10:23.010
opinion.
2052
01:10:23.650 --> 01:10:26.070
But if you go back and you look at like
2053
01:10:26.070 --> 01:10:28.130
the ruthless aggression era
2054
01:10:28.130 --> 01:10:30.310
of WWE, like they were
2055
01:10:30.310 --> 01:10:32.110
stacked to the gills roster
2056
01:10:32.110 --> 01:10:34.190
wise, but they didn't use everybody well.
2057
01:10:35.030 --> 01:10:36.070
And like, yeah,
2058
01:10:36.070 --> 01:10:38.130
they use some people terribly, you know,
2059
01:10:38.170 --> 01:10:40.130
like, or not at all. Like Raven
2060
01:10:40.130 --> 01:10:42.010
was a fucking jobber. Like
2061
01:10:42.010 --> 01:10:44.110
it was pathetic the way they use some
2062
01:10:44.110 --> 01:10:46.070
of these people. They still push the
2063
01:10:46.070 --> 01:10:47.790
same people they push during the Attitude era.
2064
01:10:48.950 --> 01:10:50.330
So that's the difference.
2065
01:10:50.810 --> 01:10:51.850
Next bit of news,
2066
01:10:52.130 --> 01:10:54.190
we hear that Ring of Honor is having
2067
01:10:54.190 --> 01:10:56.470
a studio taping.
2068
01:10:56.550 --> 01:10:58.330
I'm very excited about these books.
2069
01:10:58.690 --> 01:11:00.150
Good sign. Good sign for a Ring
2070
01:11:00.150 --> 01:11:02.870
of Honor. I think
2071
01:11:03.410 --> 01:11:04.570
Tony kind of has done the right
2072
01:11:04.570 --> 01:11:06.550
thing and getting AEW to where it needs to be
2073
01:11:06.550 --> 01:11:08.870
right now where it is like on this
2074
01:11:08.870 --> 01:11:10.510
60 week god level run
2075
01:11:11.330 --> 01:11:12.530
of amazing
2076
01:11:12.530 --> 01:11:14.010
episodes. And now
2077
01:11:14.870 --> 01:11:16.490
he can kind of put ROH
2078
01:11:16.490 --> 01:11:18.810
back on the forefront for himself. But I do
2079
01:11:18.810 --> 01:11:20.790
hope he does
2080
01:11:20.790 --> 01:11:22.550
bring someone in to fully
2081
01:11:22.550 --> 01:11:24.650
book ROH for him if they're
2082
01:11:24.650 --> 01:11:26.570
going to start doing
2083
01:11:26.570 --> 01:11:28.570
studio tapings again. And it's not like
2084
01:11:29.790 --> 01:11:30.710
a dark
2085
01:11:30.710 --> 01:11:31.670
type match.
2086
01:11:31.670 --> 01:11:34.410
I would love it if they could do
2087
01:11:34.410 --> 01:11:36.110
Ring of Honor as
2088
01:11:36.110 --> 01:11:38.130
something, make it look
2089
01:11:38.130 --> 01:11:39.890
and feel different. Make the show feel
2090
01:11:39.890 --> 01:11:42.150
different. You know, different production,
2091
01:11:42.490 --> 01:11:44.090
different look to the
2092
01:11:44.090 --> 01:11:44.590
presentation.
2093
01:11:45.630 --> 01:11:47.930
Fuck classic ROH. You don't have to make it feel
2094
01:11:47.930 --> 01:11:49.870
like that because if you don't watch it,
2095
01:11:49.890 --> 01:11:51.490
it looks like shit now.
2096
01:11:51.870 --> 01:11:54.410
But like don't make it
2097
01:11:54.410 --> 01:11:55.770
feel like AEW dark.
2098
01:11:56.130 --> 01:11:58.090
You know what I mean? Like the last time they did studio
2099
01:11:58.090 --> 01:11:59.910
tapings, I remember Kenny Omega actually
2100
01:11:59.910 --> 01:12:02.870
wrestled on one of them. And
2101
01:12:04.050 --> 01:12:06.050
it just felt like smaller
2102
01:12:06.050 --> 01:12:08.130
AEW. And I don't think you want that.
2103
01:12:08.610 --> 01:12:10.070
No, we want it should
2104
01:12:10.070 --> 01:12:12.110
be something different. It should be treated different.
2105
01:12:12.350 --> 01:12:13.930
Even if you have the wrestlers coming
2106
01:12:13.930 --> 01:12:14.710
and going.
2107
01:12:16.050 --> 01:12:18.210
Treat it like a separate entity so it kind
2108
01:12:18.210 --> 01:12:19.850
of lets you truly
2109
01:12:19.850 --> 01:12:22.110
believe that the ROH
2110
01:12:22.110 --> 01:12:25.730
talent, like the ROH
2111
01:12:25.730 --> 01:12:27.610
belt are ROH versus
2112
01:12:28.550 --> 01:12:29.090
AEW.
2113
01:12:29.090 --> 01:12:31.350
Yeah. Well, I think I think that
2114
01:12:31.350 --> 01:12:33.470
that's, you know, and Bandito is absolutely
2115
01:12:33.470 --> 01:12:35.190
somebody that you build ROH around.
2116
01:12:35.850 --> 01:12:37.270
And Athena, same thing.
2117
01:12:37.310 --> 01:12:39.230
I think they've been meaning to build this
2118
01:12:39.230 --> 01:12:41.250
promotion around Athena this whole time. And now she's
2119
01:12:41.250 --> 01:12:42.710
been champion for almost three years.
2120
01:12:43.710 --> 01:12:45.090
It's, you know, it's
2121
01:12:45.850 --> 01:12:47.090
you know, kind of like
2122
01:12:47.630 --> 01:12:49.210
put up or shut up time. But
2123
01:12:49.210 --> 01:12:51.590
I think if they had the right
2124
01:12:51.590 --> 01:12:53.150
unique kind of studio
2125
01:12:53.770 --> 01:12:55.210
feel in production, not
2126
01:12:55.210 --> 01:12:57.270
like a total throwback like
2127
01:12:57.270 --> 01:12:59.350
NWA Power. But I did
2128
01:12:59.350 --> 01:13:01.270
like what NWA Power was trying to do in
2129
01:13:01.270 --> 01:13:03.310
the beginning when it felt like an
2130
01:13:03.310 --> 01:13:05.330
old Crockett show from back in the day.
2131
01:13:05.570 --> 01:13:07.370
Because I grew up with that shit. I love studio
2132
01:13:07.370 --> 01:13:09.210
wrestling. I want to see studio
2133
01:13:09.210 --> 01:13:11.330
wrestling. Ring of Honor is perfect for it.
2134
01:13:11.630 --> 01:13:13.350
But just give
2135
01:13:13.350 --> 01:13:15.090
it something modern. And I know they will.
2136
01:13:15.450 --> 01:13:16.450
Like I don't...
2137
01:13:17.110 --> 01:13:19.370
Listen, I may have a lot of
2138
01:13:20.350 --> 01:13:21.310
half empty
2139
01:13:21.310 --> 01:13:23.390
on other things. With this, I'm very much
2140
01:13:23.390 --> 01:13:25.010
half full. I think Tony knows
2141
01:13:25.010 --> 01:13:26.750
what he's doing here.
2142
01:13:27.190 --> 01:13:28.210
Yes, yes.
2143
01:13:29.450 --> 01:13:30.770
In other news, Dan
2144
01:13:30.770 --> 01:13:32.470
Hausen appears to...
2145
01:13:32.470 --> 01:13:35.130
He posted some silly picture
2146
01:13:35.130 --> 01:13:37.250
of Aladdin's Genie
2147
01:13:37.250 --> 01:13:38.770
being released from...
2148
01:13:38.770 --> 01:13:40.910
Oh, and two songs that were about freedom.
2149
01:13:41.370 --> 01:13:42.950
Yeah. So
2150
01:13:42.950 --> 01:13:45.050
he is... They're saying he is believed
2151
01:13:45.050 --> 01:13:46.810
to be the guy in the box
2152
01:13:46.810 --> 01:13:49.030
in WWE, which
2153
01:13:49.030 --> 01:13:50.230
makes perfect sense.
2154
01:13:51.190 --> 01:13:52.290
And it's hilarious.
2155
01:13:52.290 --> 01:13:53.910
Also, have they not...
2156
01:13:53.910 --> 01:13:56.330
This isn't going to sound bad. Have they not seen
2157
01:13:56.330 --> 01:13:57.170
him wrestle?
2158
01:13:58.010 --> 01:14:00.710
Right. I...
2159
01:14:00.710 --> 01:14:01.970
I love Dan Hausen.
2160
01:14:02.130 --> 01:14:04.150
As a character. As an
2161
01:14:04.150 --> 01:14:05.010
in-ring wrestler.
2162
01:14:06.470 --> 01:14:07.130
I admire
2163
01:14:09.070 --> 01:14:10.310
Dan Hausen's
2164
01:14:10.310 --> 01:14:12.130
ability to
2165
01:14:12.130 --> 01:14:14.250
become filthy fucking rich
2166
01:14:14.250 --> 01:14:15.270
doing what he's done.
2167
01:14:15.910 --> 01:14:18.410
He was rich when he came to AEW.
2168
01:14:18.590 --> 01:14:20.410
He was well known.
2169
01:14:21.010 --> 01:14:22.790
They wrote a piece about him
2170
01:14:22.790 --> 01:14:24.210
in the weekend New York Times.
2171
01:14:25.870 --> 01:14:26.470
Like, yeah.
2172
01:14:27.070 --> 01:14:28.410
Like, Dan Hausen is
2173
01:14:29.370 --> 01:14:29.770
huge.
2174
01:14:30.430 --> 01:14:32.670
I don't think WWE is going to have any idea
2175
01:14:32.670 --> 01:14:33.690
what to do with him.
2176
01:14:34.210 --> 01:14:36.410
It wouldn't surprise me if he is
2177
01:14:37.550 --> 01:14:38.730
just another one of those
2178
01:14:38.730 --> 01:14:40.490
signings that's a big deal for a minute and then
2179
01:14:40.490 --> 01:14:42.390
he's off to the side. They use him to sell
2180
01:14:42.390 --> 01:14:43.370
merch and that's it.
2181
01:14:43.870 --> 01:14:46.130
That's what it's going to be. It's going to be a quick
2182
01:14:46.130 --> 01:14:48.530
like, oh, look, we got one over on AEW
2183
01:14:48.530 --> 01:14:50.650
because we have Dan Hausen.
2184
01:14:50.850 --> 01:14:53.630
Yeah. Who hasn't been on AEW for
2185
01:14:53.630 --> 01:14:54.310
a year and a half.
2186
01:14:54.310 --> 01:14:56.690
And then Dan Hausen's going to be sitting in catering
2187
01:14:56.690 --> 01:14:58.590
and he can't even take indie dates.
2188
01:14:59.850 --> 01:15:00.190
Yeah.
2189
01:15:00.430 --> 01:15:02.590
He's better off being on the indies than making
2190
01:15:02.590 --> 01:15:04.410
a shit ton of money that way. But
2191
01:15:04.410 --> 01:15:06.650
I don't know. Call me crazy.
2192
01:15:07.170 --> 01:15:08.670
In my opinion, Dan Hausen
2193
01:15:08.670 --> 01:15:10.530
works best as
2194
01:15:12.630 --> 01:15:14.590
Dan Hausen works best on
2195
01:15:14.590 --> 01:15:16.450
the indies where you see him occasionally
2196
01:15:16.450 --> 01:15:18.630
but not all the time, because the more you see him
2197
01:15:18.630 --> 01:15:20.010
the gimmick just gets old.
2198
01:15:20.690 --> 01:15:22.150
The more you see him.
2199
01:15:23.430 --> 01:15:23.850
To me.
2200
01:15:24.350 --> 01:15:26.370
I think I said this in the Discord. I said
2201
01:15:27.230 --> 01:15:28.650
he's better when he shows
2202
01:15:28.650 --> 01:15:29.570
up randomly.
2203
01:15:31.050 --> 01:15:32.450
And he's not weakly.
2204
01:15:34.810 --> 01:15:36.610
Because it gets boring. It gets
2205
01:15:36.610 --> 01:15:38.410
tiring. What's he going to do?
2206
01:15:38.650 --> 01:15:40.350
Give me all your teeth, Cody Rhodes.
2207
01:15:40.690 --> 01:15:42.030
So see him punk and win.
2208
01:15:43.350 --> 01:15:44.890
Yeah. Is he going to
2209
01:15:44.890 --> 01:15:47.110
curse Roman Reigns? Do you really think
2210
01:15:47.110 --> 01:15:49.230
that they're going to do that? I don't think so.
2211
01:15:49.990 --> 01:15:51.050
It's not going
2212
01:15:51.050 --> 01:15:52.990
to work with that
2213
01:15:52.990 --> 01:15:53.750
audience.
2214
01:15:55.730 --> 01:15:57.210
The audience is too casual
2215
01:15:57.210 --> 01:15:58.890
to even appreciate
2216
01:16:00.450 --> 01:16:00.990
Dan
2217
01:16:00.990 --> 01:16:02.970
Hausen because he's never been on
2218
01:16:02.970 --> 01:16:05.010
WWE television. Most of the
2219
01:16:05.010 --> 01:16:06.970
WWE audience doesn't know who Dan Hausen
2220
01:16:06.970 --> 01:16:08.890
is. They're not
2221
01:16:09.430 --> 01:16:10.650
hardcore to that degree.
2222
01:16:12.350 --> 01:16:13.650
Half of them didn't even know
2223
01:16:13.650 --> 01:16:15.630
AJ Styles had a match with Kenny Omega
2224
01:16:15.630 --> 01:16:17.130
in New Japan.
2225
01:16:18.190 --> 01:16:19.850
Right. Yeah.
2226
01:16:20.550 --> 01:16:21.770
So like, we're really
2227
01:16:21.770 --> 01:16:23.750
going to expect them to know who Dan Hausen is.
2228
01:16:24.730 --> 01:16:25.610
Yeah. Yeah.
2229
01:16:26.790 --> 01:16:27.730
They're not even pushing
2230
01:16:27.730 --> 01:16:29.610
the Wyatt Six anymore. Like when was the last
2231
01:16:29.610 --> 01:16:31.550
time the Wyatt Six were on? I don't hear
2232
01:16:31.550 --> 01:16:33.650
anything about them. No, I don't either.
2233
01:16:33.770 --> 01:16:35.670
I never liked the Wyatt Six idea to
2234
01:16:35.670 --> 01:16:37.830
begin with. It felt like. No, they should have just let
2235
01:16:38.450 --> 01:16:39.330
his legacy
2236
01:16:39.330 --> 01:16:41.790
Let Bray Wyatt's legacy live on its own.
2237
01:16:41.790 --> 01:16:43.850
You know, it's going to generate buzz
2238
01:16:43.850 --> 01:16:45.970
for a minute. And I think it will
2239
01:16:45.970 --> 01:16:47.710
do most like most things WWE
2240
01:16:47.710 --> 01:16:49.910
has done lately. It will
2241
01:16:49.910 --> 01:16:51.470
quickly fade into the background.
2242
01:16:52.830 --> 01:16:53.950
But books, the people can find
2243
01:16:53.950 --> 01:16:55.550
you books and body slams,
2244
01:16:55.550 --> 01:16:57.710
username pretty much anywhere.
2245
01:16:58.530 --> 01:16:59.790
But mostly Instagram,
2246
01:17:01.770 --> 01:17:02.290
threads,
2247
01:17:02.790 --> 01:17:03.470
blue sky.
2248
01:17:04.250 --> 01:17:05.890
I'm trying to be better about posting on
2249
01:17:05.890 --> 01:17:07.650
blue sky. Yeah, I'm trying.
2250
01:17:08.230 --> 01:17:09.410
Blue sky has its charms.
2251
01:17:09.410 --> 01:17:11.730
You know, I'm Blay Daily, and
2252
01:17:11.730 --> 01:17:13.610
I think you guys all know that and love
2253
01:17:13.610 --> 01:17:15.290
that. Is that you?
2254
01:17:15.990 --> 01:17:17.390
Most of the people in the chat love
2255
01:17:17.390 --> 01:17:18.210
that.
2256
01:17:19.670 --> 01:17:21.770
Is that your name? I didn't know that.
2257
01:17:21.910 --> 01:17:23.490
Blay Daily? Yeah.
2258
01:17:25.130 --> 01:17:26.930
Well, you're about to know it again.
2259
01:17:27.250 --> 01:17:29.630
Because until next time, I'm Blay Daily.
2260
01:17:29.830 --> 01:17:31.570
