Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out! Ep. 99

Mar 13

AEW Revolution 2026 Preview & Predictions | Hangman vs MJF, Young Bucks vs FTR

AEW Revolution is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable cards of the year, and Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams are here to break it all down. On this episode of Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, the hosts preview the stacked pay-per-view and try to predict what might happen when the stakes couldn’t be higher. Hangman Page faces MJF in a match with enormous implications—if Hangman loses, he may never challenge for the AEW World Championship again. Is that outcome even possible, or is Revolution set up for a major turning point?

Elsewhere on the card, Thekla’s shocking Women’s World Championship reign already faces serious questions—could she really be a three-week transitional champion? And the deeply personal rivalry between The Young Bucks and FTR reaches a boiling point in the Bucks’ hometown after weeks of disrespect and escalating attacks. With emotions high and outcomes far from certain, Blade and Books attempt the impossible: predicting AEW Revolution and deciding which stars might walk out victorious.

00:00:01.070 --> 00:00:02.870
Sicko's Club!
2
00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:09.190
Hey, come here. You like pro wrestling?
3
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:11.530
We got a little sum-sum for ya.
4
00:00:11.930 --> 00:00:14.290
Two fans, 3,000 miles away.
5
00:00:14.710 --> 00:00:17.210
We've each been watching for more than 30 years.
6
00:00:17.630 --> 00:00:18.870
Celebrating the art form.
7
00:00:20.950 --> 00:00:22.690
The homoeroticism.
8
00:00:23.270 --> 00:00:24.370
We hate great magic.
9
00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:26.370
We hate analyzing stories.
10
00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:27.910
We hate experts.
11
00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:32.890
We just sit down, shut up, and mark.
12
00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:44.720
Hello, everybody, and welcome to yet another edition of Sit Down, Shut Up, Mark Out!
13
00:00:44.980 --> 00:00:47.660
It's a pro wrestling podcast about pro wrestling.
14
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:55.020
My name is Blay Daily, and I am rejoined once again by the woman who broke my heart last week,
15
00:00:55.740 --> 00:00:59.120
left me hanging, high and dry, but she's back!
16
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:05.319
She's back after a lot of groveling, a lot of apologizing for things I didn't even know if I did.
17
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.540
Apologize or did you apologize?
18
00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:12.560
I don't know. I don't know. I was so busy.
19
00:01:12.860 --> 00:01:17.640
I was loudly apologizing, and your mouth was moving, but I was so loud I couldn't hear you.
20
00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:20.160
Oh. Okay. Well, I did apologize.
21
00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:21.780
Oh, okay. All right. All right.
22
00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:24.860
And both of us apologize for reasons that are unclear.
23
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:27.720
Yeah. We don't know what happened.
24
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.240
That's friendship. You know what I mean? That's friendship.
25
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.860
We're like, we don't even know what we're apologizing for, but I'm sorry.
26
00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:36.320
We're just apologizing.
27
00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:38.320
Yeah. There we go. Profusely.
28
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:43.020
Profusely. Well, folks, you are in for a whopping good time.
29
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.700
We are going to talk some pro wrestling grabs with you, specifically of the AEW Variety.
30
00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:52.160
We are going to dive in. Books, you ready? You feel ready?
31
00:01:52.460 --> 00:01:53.740
I'm ready. I'm ready.
32
00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.860
All right. Well, first thing I want to talk about is last Friday,
33
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.720
I had the pleasure of watching CMLL's Amazon show.
34
00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:08.479
Okay. Last weekend, Eve, Pro Wrestling Eve had two different shows that both looked incredible.
35
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.699
I haven't seen either of them yet, but I'm going to.
36
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.020
I have them. I'm going to see them.
37
00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:15.040
I have them too. I just haven't watched them yet.
38
00:02:15.220 --> 00:02:18.640
Well, one of them, Wrestle Queendom is like four hours long.
39
00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:21.900
So it's, I mean, it's a big show, but I heard it was fantastic.
40
00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:23.720
So I can't wait to see it.
41
00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:27.000
Yeah. There's not enough hours in the day for wrestling.
42
00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:31.220
There really isn't. That's why people should pay us to just talk about wrestling.
43
00:02:31.220 --> 00:02:32.200
You know what I mean?
44
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:34.300
Yes, I would love to quit my day job.
45
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:38.060
So let's get Veda Scott on and bring some attention to the show.
46
00:02:38.940 --> 00:02:41.300
And, you know, speaking of Veda Scott,
47
00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:47.420
she was on commentary for CMLL on Friday for the Amazon show, which was fantastic.
48
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:49.800
It was absolutely incredible.
49
00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:54.180
She's so good. And I don't understand why they have not hired her yet.
50
00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:57.380
Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, really, AEW.
51
00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:58.440
By they, I mean Tony.
52
00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:01.500
Yeah, AEW could definitely use her. Absolutely.
53
00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:06.500
Persephone beat Mercedes-Manet for the CMLL Women's World title.
54
00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:07.900
And it was...
55
00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:09.420
I want to clap, but I also want to cry.
56
00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:12.280
It was so good. It was such a good match.
57
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.260
And really, you know, for as maligned as Mercedes-Manet is,
58
00:03:20.540 --> 00:03:24.400
this lady makes a lot of people look really goddamn good.
59
00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:26.440
Really goddamn good.
60
00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:30.060
It's crazy how everyone's best matches are against Mercedes,
61
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.940
but people still think Mercedes sucks.
62
00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:36.920
It's kind of crazy how that happens.
63
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.040
And they'll call her Mercedes-Hogan, which is really kind of a trick.
64
00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:41.960
But she's losing.
65
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:43.820
Even though she loses.
66
00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:49.640
She's traveling to all these countries and losing.
67
00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:51.780
Yeah.
68
00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:56.780
And also, I thought it was kind of interesting because they had in
69
00:03:56.780 --> 00:04:00.300
that match, Megan Bain was cornering Mercedes.
70
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:01.760
She was in Mercedes corner.
71
00:04:02.220 --> 00:04:07.200
And it got me thinking like, huh, that would be kind of cool.
72
00:04:07.420 --> 00:04:08.860
Like that would be kind of dope.
73
00:04:08.940 --> 00:04:15.080
Like Megan wrestled her match and then threw on just like a
74
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.940
sweatshirt and then cornered Mercedes.
75
00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:18.060
It was crazy.
76
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:24.320
But Megan and Olympia had an epic, unbelievable fucking match.
77
00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:28.500
It was like the female equivalent of like watching Lesnar and
78
00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:28.960
Goldberg.
79
00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:34.160
It was so meaty and beefy and awesome.
80
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.540
And they threw each other the fuck around.
81
00:04:36.820 --> 00:04:38.720
Olympia threw Megan the fuck around.
82
00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:42.800
Megan did a top rope Frankensteiner to Olympia.
83
00:04:43.200 --> 00:04:44.240
Like unbelievable shit.
84
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.100
It was awesome.
85
00:04:45.320 --> 00:04:45.980
So good.
86
00:04:46.300 --> 00:04:46.900
So good.
87
00:04:46.900 --> 00:04:48.820
I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.
88
00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:49.520
Yeah.
89
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.120
You're probably watching this show, right?
90
00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:56.360
Actually, yes, I'm going to get it downloaded.
91
00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:58.500
Did I sell you hard enough on it?
92
00:04:59.060 --> 00:05:00.580
I was already going to watch it.
93
00:05:00.580 --> 00:05:02.440
But yes, you really you nailed that.
94
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.500
I'm going to watch it sooner rather than like later.
95
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:06.040
Yes.
96
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.340
Like I might watch it tomorrow now that we're doing this tonight
97
00:05:09.340 --> 00:05:10.300
instead of tomorrow.
98
00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:12.120
So it all works out.
99
00:05:12.140 --> 00:05:13.480
See your buddy.
100
00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:15.300
Your buddy Blades always looking out for you.
101
00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:17.440
Look, look at that.
102
00:05:17.620 --> 00:05:18.560
It's true.
103
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:19.120
Yes.
104
00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:21.640
So that all leads me to this.
105
00:05:21.780 --> 00:05:23.060
AEW and Tony Khan.
106
00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:24.220
It is time.
107
00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:24.880
Okay.
108
00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:28.380
Like women's wrestling is exploding worldwide.
109
00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:30.480
Did you see this line last night?
110
00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:31.180
Did you see the sign?
111
00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:31.760
I did.
112
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:32.520
I did.
113
00:05:33.140 --> 00:05:34.260
It's been time.
114
00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:34.960
Okay.
115
00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:36.400
And now it's past time.
116
00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:38.560
We need an all women's show.
117
00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:43.760
The fact that WWE did one recent like in the last year and
118
00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:45.060
AEW hasn't.
119
00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:46.240
Yeah.
120
00:05:46.580 --> 00:05:48.160
Unnoise the crap out of it.
121
00:05:48.820 --> 00:05:53.160
Can you imagine an AEW branded all women's show with women
122
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.000
from all the partner promotions?
123
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.980
AEW by far has the biggest reach.
124
00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:03.480
They can introduce so many people to so many wrestlers,
125
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.160
to AEW fans that they've rarely seen,
126
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:07.260
maybe never seen.
127
00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:08.940
It's time, Tony.
128
00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:11.480
It's time to make dreams come true.
129
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:16.480
Like the connection to Eve and Rev Pro and
130
00:06:18.460 --> 00:06:19.580
CMLL stardom.
131
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.120
Why haven't we done this yet?
132
00:06:22.580 --> 00:06:23.060
Yeah.
133
00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:26.620
You have access to like most of the best women's wrestlers
134
00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:27.600
in the world.
135
00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:29.740
So like make use of it.
136
00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:30.000
TK.
137
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.180
Do something.
138
00:06:31.460 --> 00:06:32.620
Do something.
139
00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:35.200
Book it.
140
00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:35.540
Books.
141
00:06:35.700 --> 00:06:38.520
There was a lot of stupid chance recently at AEW shows.
142
00:06:38.700 --> 00:06:40.280
I'm not sure if you noticed.
143
00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:44.460
It's what I call dumbness amongst the fan experience.
144
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:46.700
And like last week,
145
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.280
I brought up that Kevin Knight was booed in El Paso.
146
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.440
Then last weekend on collision,
147
00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:56.840
the crowd was chanting what during a Tecla promo.
148
00:06:57.380 --> 00:06:59.680
And I thought it was great because I don't think Tecla
149
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.100
understands what what is.
150
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.720
And she did not give a fuck at all.
151
00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:05.540
It just motor through him like a badass.
152
00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:11.680
I don't even want to get onto how slightly racist
153
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.560
doing a what chant on someone with an accent is.
154
00:07:16.180 --> 00:07:18.000
So I'm just going to leave it at that.
155
00:07:18.340 --> 00:07:18.660
Yeah.
156
00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:19.060
Yep.
157
00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:22.740
It's it's just what what are we doing?
158
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.540
So some I think is worth bringing up is that is
159
00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:29.240
annoying as it is.
160
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.240
Obviously people have the right to do whatever they
161
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:32.300
want within reason.
162
00:07:32.460 --> 00:07:33.020
Right.
163
00:07:33.020 --> 00:07:35.040
So if you want to chant something,
164
00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:36.160
you ought to take it fine.
165
00:07:36.940 --> 00:07:40.380
But a lot of new people are watching AEW right now.
166
00:07:40.380 --> 00:07:42.840
I see posts about it constantly on threads.
167
00:07:43.780 --> 00:07:45.300
And this, unfortunately,
168
00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:47.760
is part of the trade off that comes with it.
169
00:07:47.780 --> 00:07:50.960
So you may not be reading as much that AEW is
170
00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:53.320
dying every other day anymore.
171
00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:55.560
OK, which is great.
172
00:07:56.020 --> 00:07:59.040
I got that was just so boring and old anyway.
173
00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:02.460
But AEW is now kind of trendy.
174
00:08:02.460 --> 00:08:06.820
And a lot of WWE fans are possibly just laps fans who
175
00:08:06.820 --> 00:08:09.140
saw the fuck ice stuff and got curious or whatever.
176
00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:11.600
They are watching and attending the shows.
177
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.560
And these are their reference points.
178
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:15.600
And as the core audience,
179
00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:18.600
I believe it's up to us to demonstrate what we're
180
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.600
about without shitting on people too much,
181
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.520
because we actually don't want them to leave.
182
00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:24.360
We just want them to like learn how to act right.
183
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:25.060
You know what I mean?
184
00:08:25.260 --> 00:08:25.740
Yeah.
185
00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:26.000
Yeah.
186
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:32.440
We say fuck on Cal fuck Don Callis and fuck ice too.
187
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:32.940
Yes.
188
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.520
And we we we don't do what?
189
00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:37.240
Like that's all.
190
00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:38.299
Yeah, exactly.
191
00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:39.320
We don't do what?
192
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.620
Join us for the fun chance.
193
00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:42.240
Right.
194
00:08:42.419 --> 00:08:43.880
We have a lot of fun chance.
195
00:08:43.940 --> 00:08:47.420
Like bald, like bald instead of what?
196
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:48.080
Right.
197
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:48.860
Right.
198
00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:50.580
Like if Tecla had been talking and people have
199
00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:52.060
been chanting bald, it would have been weird,
200
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:53.940
but we would have looked past it.
201
00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:55.280
Probably would have been easier.
202
00:08:56.700 --> 00:08:57.180
Yeah.
203
00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:57.700
Yeah.
204
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.880
So Veda Scott come on the show.
205
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.840
This is, you know, we're getting we're getting close to the
206
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:04.780
to the preview part.
207
00:09:04.900 --> 00:09:07.660
You know, there's a there's just a little bit of quick hits
208
00:09:07.660 --> 00:09:10.940
I want to do real quick just to make sure we've covered our bases.
209
00:09:11.280 --> 00:09:13.120
Tommaso Ciampa has gone full psycho killer.
210
00:09:13.660 --> 00:09:16.980
He turned on Mark Briscoe on collision and aligned with FTR,
211
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:21.920
which if you saw Ciampa in in black and gold NXT,
212
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.140
how far fetched that would have been.
213
00:09:24.380 --> 00:09:24.600
Okay.
214
00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:25.300
Pretty crazy.
215
00:09:26.180 --> 00:09:31.160
I still think it's temporary and that he might be waiting
216
00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:33.020
for someone to join him.
217
00:09:33.020 --> 00:09:33.700
Could be.
218
00:09:34.380 --> 00:09:34.820
Could be.
219
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:38.100
I know you're talking about Aleister Black, right?
220
00:09:39.380 --> 00:09:39.640
Yeah.
221
00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:40.220
How'd you know?
222
00:09:41.260 --> 00:09:42.760
I just it was a feeling I had.
223
00:09:44.020 --> 00:09:48.080
The other thing that I was going to say is Tecla's promos are so good.
224
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:50.460
So good.
225
00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:51.360
My God.
226
00:09:52.140 --> 00:09:55.340
My God, this her energy is amazing.
227
00:09:55.660 --> 00:09:56.680
Like it's just amazing.
228
00:09:56.740 --> 00:10:00.840
Like she just has this star presence that just swallows the camera
229
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.480
when she's on like, you know, like you just want to see more of her.
230
00:10:05.780 --> 00:10:09.040
She just kind of has this rock star vibe to her.
231
00:10:09.540 --> 00:10:14.500
That's really, really hard to quantify, I guess.
232
00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:17.780
But it's an intangible thing that not everybody has, you know,
233
00:10:17.780 --> 00:10:20.080
and you see why she's the champion.
234
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.360
I think that's a perfect way of putting it.
235
00:10:21.380 --> 00:10:22.420
She's a rock star vibe.
236
00:10:23.060 --> 00:10:23.500
Yes.
237
00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:24.180
Yes.
238
00:10:24.520 --> 00:10:26.820
Len Gott says that was a really good show across the board.
239
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.980
I originally got it for Mercedes Persephone.
240
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:30.980
But yeah, amazing show by the women.
241
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.620
That was that CMLL show we were talking about.
242
00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:36.940
Len also added that I said this last week when I saw it,
243
00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:39.280
Mercedes and Megan, they just work.
244
00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:40.300
Absolutely.
245
00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:45.940
You know, I could see that as kind of like a faction.
246
00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:48.080
Like imagine Megan Bain being Mercedes heavy.
247
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:49.400
That would be kind of crazy.
248
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.160
But you also have Lena Cross and you also have Penelope,
249
00:10:55.160 --> 00:10:58.200
like talking like four horsewomen kind of thing right there.
250
00:10:58.780 --> 00:11:01.880
You know, kind of Mercedes handing off the reins.
251
00:11:02.400 --> 00:11:02.920
Yeah.
252
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.120
To a new group of.
253
00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:04.860
Yeah.
254
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.620
To a new group of baddies, you know, basically.
255
00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:09.380
Yeah.
256
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.000
The most extra woman in the history of pro wrestling,
257
00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:16.920
Mercedes with her giant headpiece and her.
258
00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:21.960
It was like cheetah print and and teal.
259
00:11:22.540 --> 00:11:24.980
It was so awesome looking like she looks so amazing.
260
00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:28.800
Anything I've seen from that looks so friggin amazing.
261
00:11:29.020 --> 00:11:29.360
Yes.
262
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:30.020
Yes.
263
00:11:30.420 --> 00:11:30.900
Yes.
264
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:32.120
You know, Larry Line seven.
265
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:36.160
I can't believe Mercedes is bullying promotions to pay her $25,000
266
00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:38.100
and make her lose.
267
00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:39.000
That's so rude.
268
00:11:39.260 --> 00:11:40.560
It's so disrespectful.
269
00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:43.260
$25 is my rate.
270
00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:44.400
That's what I charge.
271
00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:45.080
Oh, that's right.
272
00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:45.880
Yeah.
273
00:11:45.880 --> 00:11:48.580
And if you're local, I'll do it for free or maybe pay you $20.
274
00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:53.100
You know, so you're in the Seattle area and you want me to appear on your show
275
00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:55.700
like super, super easy.
276
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.100
We're not to move on, folks.
277
00:11:57.140 --> 00:11:59.520
And it's it's time to get down to brass tacks.
278
00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:05.040
It's time to talk about people getting really worked up last night
279
00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:07.080
about the press conference segment on Dynamite.
280
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.120
Now, I will say I didn't think it was a great segment.
281
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:11.520
OK, like it was all right.
282
00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:13.800
It was fine for what it was.
283
00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:15.300
They experimented.
284
00:12:15.300 --> 00:12:17.660
OK, they did something backstage live.
285
00:12:18.680 --> 00:12:20.940
Probably wouldn't recommend they do that again.
286
00:12:21.140 --> 00:12:22.800
No, I think that was my biggest complaint.
287
00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:26.300
The crowd was loudly chanting, like boring.
288
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:27.960
They were booing.
289
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:28.940
Not the greatest.
290
00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:30.140
It did not look good.
291
00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:30.760
Yeah.
292
00:12:30.780 --> 00:12:33.300
So that's maybe a pre-tape thing you do next time.
293
00:12:33.300 --> 00:12:35.380
And I think they probably learned that.
294
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:40.340
But had I just watched it with nothing around me,
295
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.820
I would have probably been like, oh, that was cool.
296
00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:47.220
I probably wouldn't even honestly have noticed the crowd as much.
297
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.280
But I was watching in a big group chat and it was being pointed out
298
00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:51.940
pretty distinctly.
299
00:12:52.040 --> 00:12:52.900
It was hard to miss.
300
00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:55.940
I'm not trying to try to make it sound like it was no big deal.
301
00:12:56.260 --> 00:12:57.980
It was audible, very audible.
302
00:12:58.340 --> 00:12:59.280
It was audible.
303
00:12:59.580 --> 00:12:59.900
Yes.
304
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.600
But then they brawled through the crowd in this group chat.
305
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.140
We're like, yeah, they're going to end up brawling into the crowd.
306
00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:08.920
You know, like we we called it right down to the letter.
307
00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:09.540
OK.
308
00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:11.020
And the brawl was fun.
309
00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:12.700
The episode ended well.
310
00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:13.860
It was fine.
311
00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:15.780
Mm hmm.
312
00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:17.340
Went on some social media.
313
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:18.920
Mistake.
314
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.660
I saw people calling it the worst segment of the year.
315
00:13:22.540 --> 00:13:25.880
I saw people say that it was the worst segment.
316
00:13:26.060 --> 00:13:29.480
I saw one person say it's one of the worst segments they've ever seen.
317
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:30.840
Ever.
318
00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:33.380
I'm sorry.
319
00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:33.920
Ever.
320
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.980
They did a who is that?
321
00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:41.800
After what happened on Raw with the mouse men and the.
322
00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:42.080
Right.
323
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:43.500
They're all circling each.
324
00:13:43.640 --> 00:13:43.800
Right.
325
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:45.700
That this was the worst segment.
326
00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:46.360
Right.
327
00:13:46.560 --> 00:13:47.680
That was Monday.
328
00:13:48.660 --> 00:13:53.320
This past Monday, that segment happened and it was seemingly replaced.
329
00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:58.120
Maybe maybe, you know, and it could just be people who don't want people talking
330
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.280
about the mass bend thing and they're trying to change the subject.
331
00:14:00.280 --> 00:14:01.060
I don't know.
332
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.880
But I definitely saw some YouTubers with the click baity like this was a fucking
333
00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:06.800
disaster.
334
00:14:07.580 --> 00:14:10.360
To me, if you didn't like it, that's fine.
335
00:14:11.180 --> 00:14:12.520
They tried something new.
336
00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:13.780
It maybe didn't work.
337
00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:14.200
Fine.
338
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.880
Like it's not the end of the world.
339
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:16.940
Like eight.
340
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.940
What makes a W different right now is that they're willing to try these
341
00:14:19.940 --> 00:14:22.500
different things and see what works.
342
00:14:22.660 --> 00:14:23.180
Yeah.
343
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:23.660
Yeah.
344
00:14:23.660 --> 00:14:30.940
Like I would rather them try to stupid shit like a roulette of mass men
345
00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:32.080
in a.
346
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:32.380
Yes.
347
00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:36.020
When you already know who the nevermind.
348
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:39.400
Yep.
349
00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:42.920
So that was that was something that occurred.
350
00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:47.320
And we'll talk a little more about that when we cover that match later for
351
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:47.780
revolution.
352
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:52.540
But overall, you know, it felt like kind of a bit of an overreaction.
353
00:14:54.640 --> 00:14:56.740
Someone gave birth to a hand.
354
00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:58.360
And this was the worst.
355
00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:03.840
Guys, I watched a match that was sponsored by a Batista movie that was
356
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:08.800
coming out and zombies came out and ate the Miz and John Morrison.
357
00:15:09.640 --> 00:15:10.920
During a match.
358
00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:16.340
Like that was one of the last times I think I ever watched WWE.
359
00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:18.860
But I saw that that did happen.
360
00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:22.120
That this broke me.
361
00:15:22.280 --> 00:15:24.520
A.W. has done worse things than this.
362
00:15:24.540 --> 00:15:29.320
I mean, there was the Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy chainsaw massacre
363
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:29.820
match.
364
00:15:29.880 --> 00:15:34.880
Remember that or the MJF of Jeff Jarrett's slut shaving promo.
365
00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:35.700
That was worse.
366
00:15:35.800 --> 00:15:36.720
I don't know.
367
00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:37.600
That was a lot worse.
368
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:38.260
I don't know.
369
00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:39.620
This broke me.
370
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.720
Honestly, like, A.W. needs to up their game.
371
00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:46.420
Like, if you're going to do something bad, make it the worst thing.
372
00:15:46.540 --> 00:15:46.960
You know what I mean?
373
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.380
We could do worse than this.
374
00:15:48.540 --> 00:15:49.980
And I'm a little disappointed.
375
00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:51.180
Let's see.
376
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.620
Yeah, I wouldn't be against that.
377
00:15:52.660 --> 00:15:53.940
Never happening again.
378
00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:54.700
Dynamite.
379
00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:55.200
You know what?
380
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.900
That's a reasonable reaction.
381
00:15:57.300 --> 00:15:57.560
Len guy.
382
00:15:57.580 --> 00:15:59.440
That's a reasonable reaction.
383
00:15:59.880 --> 00:16:03.400
I or they try something different, but like.
384
00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:08.420
If they if they pre taped the if they pre taped the press conference
385
00:16:08.420 --> 00:16:10.820
thing and you couldn't hear the audience, like it would have been fine.
386
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.920
People said, why didn't they do it in the ring?
387
00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:16.220
And I think it's because there were only a few actual media members
388
00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:17.860
there and a bunch of A.W. extras.
389
00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:20.620
And so you couldn't do that in the ring.
390
00:16:20.760 --> 00:16:22.840
What was Dave?
391
00:16:23.560 --> 00:16:27.620
I kind of stopped listening because I got distracted by the chanting.
392
00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:32.600
Dave Meltzer actually asked a question.
393
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.620
I don't think he did in the audience.
394
00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:35.780
He was just in the audience.
395
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.720
Dave lives in San Jose, I believe.
396
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.640
So I think I think that's all it was.
397
00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:41.340
Too fat to cook.
398
00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:43.400
A bunch of guys in mass and hoods was cool.
399
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:44.120
Right.
400
00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:45.100
Right.
401
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.700
I have.
402
00:16:47.180 --> 00:16:50.500
It took me a solid 24 hours to realize that was Dave Meltzer.
403
00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:52.680
By the way, I went, who the fuck is that?
404
00:16:52.680 --> 00:16:53.900
And why does he look familiar?
405
00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:56.740
And then someone pointed it out.
406
00:16:57.160 --> 00:17:00.600
Yeah, I think there's probably been a lot worse in last night's presser.
407
00:17:01.900 --> 00:17:06.119
I appreciate y'all having a way in having a way in the scare glow.
408
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.619
I didn't have a problem with the last segment.
409
00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:10.319
Trolls are just waiting for A.W. to stumble a little bit.
410
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.099
If they were happy in their own fandom, they would be over there
411
00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:13.880
enjoying their own product.
412
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.880
I absolutely agree.
413
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:17.099
Okay.
414
00:17:17.819 --> 00:17:21.300
I really don't spend that much time thinking about what WWE is doing
415
00:17:21.300 --> 00:17:22.079
because I'm happy.
416
00:17:22.540 --> 00:17:22.880
Right.
417
00:17:23.060 --> 00:17:24.680
I don't like watching A.W.
418
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.540
pay per view and go like WWE sucks.
419
00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:29.180
I don't even care about WWE.
420
00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:31.420
Like, A.W. is just awesome.
421
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.460
Like, that's all I think about.
422
00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:37.420
Any more to contribute to that topic books?
423
00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:40.660
No.
424
00:17:41.800 --> 00:17:43.800
Guys, I think we have a problem on our hands.
425
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.980
And it's going to be a serious problem.
426
00:17:48.120 --> 00:17:53.360
On collision this week, Mike Speedball, Mike Bailey's backstage
427
00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:55.620
talking about how Kevin Knight almost had MJF.
428
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.300
And then from the distance, you hear a voice go,
429
00:18:00.300 --> 00:18:01.660
then why didn't he?
430
00:18:02.540 --> 00:18:08.120
And from out of the shadows, Swerve shows up and tells Kevin,
431
00:18:09.260 --> 00:18:11.040
basically, you don't have any killer instinct.
432
00:18:11.360 --> 00:18:13.120
That's why you're not winning any of these matches.
433
00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:15.200
That's why you'll never make it to the next level.
434
00:18:15.320 --> 00:18:20.280
If you want to be called a killer, you need to be a killer.
435
00:18:20.580 --> 00:18:21.360
That's the line.
436
00:18:22.120 --> 00:18:23.040
Swerve's recruiting.
437
00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:27.000
And he's going to turn Kevin Knight heel.
438
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:30.200
And I don't know if I can handle this.
439
00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:31.580
But I'm also going to love it.
440
00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:35.020
I think Revolution is going to be real interesting.
441
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:40.060
And when we come back on the other side of this great music break
442
00:18:40.060 --> 00:18:41.920
that the live audience isn't even going to hear.
443
00:18:44.540 --> 00:18:47.120
I'm just going to do some acapella singing for you guys.
444
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.540
For the audience at home, they're going to hear some dope beats.
445
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.120
Then we're going to come back and talk about AEW Revolution
446
00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:57.580
and what we think is going to happen that we're probably wrong about
447
00:18:58.040 --> 00:18:59.460
when we come back.
448
00:19:16.110 --> 00:19:18.430
Books, it is time to talk AEW Revolution.
449
00:19:18.590 --> 00:19:21.130
It is time to get down to brass tacks, OK?
450
00:19:22.330 --> 00:19:23.030
I'm ready.
451
00:19:23.390 --> 00:19:23.830
All right.
452
00:19:24.250 --> 00:19:25.430
On the zero hour.
453
00:19:26.770 --> 00:19:28.950
TK, like a madman, announced a bunch of shit last night
454
00:19:28.950 --> 00:19:29.730
like we knew he would.
455
00:19:30.010 --> 00:19:33.170
God only knows if he's going to introduce more shit on Collision.
456
00:19:34.050 --> 00:19:35.530
Yeah, we know he is.
457
00:19:35.690 --> 00:19:37.530
There's 12 matches announced now.
458
00:19:37.530 --> 00:19:40.170
So I think we're getting to kind of like where we're good.
459
00:19:40.630 --> 00:19:41.430
You know, we're good.
460
00:19:41.990 --> 00:19:43.390
Match that was made last night.
461
00:19:43.590 --> 00:19:48.290
Lena Cross versus Willow Nightingale for the TBS title.
462
00:19:49.490 --> 00:19:51.170
The match was made on Dynamite.
463
00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:54.050
Willow said she'd defend both the TBS title and the tag title
464
00:19:54.050 --> 00:19:55.010
and called out Lena.
465
00:19:55.630 --> 00:19:57.350
Kind of seemed a little arrogant.
466
00:19:58.130 --> 00:20:01.750
You know, if you ask me a little, which she even today,
467
00:20:01.770 --> 00:20:06.030
her story said two matches, which I think she's winning this one.
468
00:20:07.030 --> 00:20:11.430
But I think she's going to be tired and then lose.
469
00:20:12.030 --> 00:20:18.410
Well, and I think that, you know, they were planning for them
470
00:20:18.410 --> 00:20:20.970
to lose the tag titles to Penelope and Megan.
471
00:20:21.770 --> 00:20:27.690
And the unfortunate things happened and they happened.
472
00:20:27.710 --> 00:20:31.030
And we just had to suck it up and move on.
473
00:20:32.210 --> 00:20:32.530
Yes.
474
00:20:32.810 --> 00:20:35.010
But Lena Cross, I'm looking forward to seeing this
475
00:20:35.010 --> 00:20:38.050
because I haven't seen a wrestler singles match in AEW
476
00:20:38.050 --> 00:20:41.250
since she got squashed by Chris Datlander in like a minute and a half last year.
477
00:20:41.810 --> 00:20:43.290
But now she signed.
478
00:20:43.490 --> 00:20:47.570
Got to say, we'll talk more about it later on.
479
00:20:48.250 --> 00:20:50.630
But the two of them walking out together.
480
00:20:50.870 --> 00:20:51.850
Holy fucking shit.
481
00:20:51.850 --> 00:20:52.910
Talk about presence.
482
00:20:53.210 --> 00:20:54.310
Talk about aura.
483
00:20:54.590 --> 00:20:55.070
Yeah.
484
00:20:55.070 --> 00:20:56.050
Lena Cross and Megan Bain.
485
00:20:56.310 --> 00:20:57.570
Holy fucking shit.
486
00:20:59.170 --> 00:21:00.190
Like, wow.
487
00:21:00.850 --> 00:21:01.150
Yeah.
488
00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:02.510
What do you got on this one?
489
00:21:02.530 --> 00:21:03.310
What do you got on this one?
490
00:21:03.310 --> 00:21:03.510
Chat.
491
00:21:03.530 --> 00:21:04.510
What do you got on this one?
492
00:21:04.710 --> 00:21:05.110
Books.
493
00:21:06.290 --> 00:21:07.570
I have Willow.
494
00:21:07.830 --> 00:21:08.530
I agree.
495
00:21:08.810 --> 00:21:09.850
I think it's going to be Willow.
496
00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:15.990
I think she retains, but maybe she gets attacked after the match
497
00:21:15.990 --> 00:21:20.450
or maybe Lena Cross beats her ass royally in the entire match
498
00:21:20.890 --> 00:21:23.850
and she just ekes out a win by the skin of her teeth.
499
00:21:25.750 --> 00:21:26.150
Yeah.
500
00:21:26.490 --> 00:21:27.190
She's going to win.
501
00:21:27.210 --> 00:21:28.190
She's going to win this one.
502
00:21:28.250 --> 00:21:30.730
She's going to win at least this match.
503
00:21:33.050 --> 00:21:33.490
Yeah.
504
00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:34.970
I think you're right.
505
00:21:35.210 --> 00:21:39.070
I think Willow takes this one in the pre-show.
506
00:21:39.430 --> 00:21:43.270
And then it's like, how is she going to defend it during the pay-per-view?
507
00:21:43.950 --> 00:21:44.390
Yeah.
508
00:21:44.930 --> 00:21:47.730
There's going to probably be a very different result after that.
509
00:21:48.250 --> 00:21:48.830
So let's see.
510
00:21:50.010 --> 00:21:51.930
Blurry line adding to our Kevin Knight discussion.
511
00:21:52.010 --> 00:21:52.530
Not going to lie.
512
00:21:52.550 --> 00:21:54.010
I don't really want Kevin to be a heel.
513
00:21:54.310 --> 00:21:57.910
Basically, all the AEW heels have some proven kind of charisma
514
00:21:57.910 --> 00:21:59.370
that I don't know Kevin has yet.
515
00:21:59.370 --> 00:22:01.850
But obviously, there's only one way to find out if he does.
516
00:22:02.250 --> 00:22:05.510
I have to beg to differ on that one because I have heard this man
517
00:22:05.510 --> 00:22:08.710
give interviews on podcasts and do some real talking.
518
00:22:09.010 --> 00:22:10.870
And my God, he's actually very funny.
519
00:22:12.250 --> 00:22:14.950
And he's got a bit of a swagger about him.
520
00:22:15.050 --> 00:22:17.530
He's very dry and sarcastic.
521
00:22:17.750 --> 00:22:19.650
And he's very much my sense of humor.
522
00:22:19.870 --> 00:22:21.410
So it's pretty cool.
523
00:22:21.930 --> 00:22:28.270
I also think someone like Swerve can really bring out another side of him.
524
00:22:28.810 --> 00:22:29.290
Yeah.
525
00:22:29.410 --> 00:22:29.890
Yeah.
526
00:22:30.490 --> 00:22:30.650
No.
527
00:22:30.830 --> 00:22:35.050
I mean, look, Kevin Knight could be the biggest baby face in the company
528
00:22:35.050 --> 00:22:37.590
if they wanted to make him that.
529
00:22:38.230 --> 00:22:43.070
And for them to turn him heel, if that's the plan, that is diabolical.
530
00:22:43.370 --> 00:22:47.170
That's like you feel so secure with the top of the baby face side
531
00:22:47.910 --> 00:22:52.290
that you're willing to take another guy who could join them momentarily
532
00:22:52.290 --> 00:22:53.610
on a moment's notice.
533
00:22:55.570 --> 00:22:57.570
And that's confidence is what that is.
534
00:22:57.570 --> 00:23:01.630
Lengott, Willow retains the TBS title, but likely loses the women's tag titles.
535
00:23:01.670 --> 00:23:03.310
They've avoided this for a bit now.
536
00:23:03.330 --> 00:23:04.790
And I think their luck runs out this weekend.
537
00:23:05.090 --> 00:23:07.310
Megan gets her first AEW gold on Sunday.
538
00:23:07.930 --> 00:23:10.450
Lengott, that's exactly what we're thinking, too.
539
00:23:10.930 --> 00:23:13.170
I think we have unanimous consent.
540
00:23:13.310 --> 00:23:14.570
The booking decision has been made.
541
00:23:14.670 --> 00:23:15.910
Tony Khan, you have your mission.
542
00:23:16.710 --> 00:23:17.210
All right.
543
00:23:17.550 --> 00:23:24.970
Next is the 21-man Black Jack Battle Royal for the AEW national title.
544
00:23:24.970 --> 00:23:27.170
Now, this is a really hard match to predict
545
00:23:27.170 --> 00:23:29.770
because we don't know who all is actually going to be in it.
546
00:23:31.030 --> 00:23:34.050
And my question is, how is a Black Jack Battle Royal
547
00:23:34.050 --> 00:23:37.390
different than the casino battle royals that they used to do
548
00:23:37.390 --> 00:23:39.690
where people came out by suit number or whatever?
549
00:23:40.410 --> 00:23:45.050
Is it different or is it the same concept with a new name
550
00:23:45.050 --> 00:23:49.270
because they have the casino gauntlet now, which is a different thing?
551
00:23:49.410 --> 00:23:51.950
Based on the almost no information that I have,
552
00:23:52.710 --> 00:23:55.090
I'm going to say it's either Ricochet or Jack Perry.
553
00:23:56.010 --> 00:23:57.410
That would be my guess.
554
00:24:00.390 --> 00:24:03.610
I want to say I think Ricochet will retain here,
555
00:24:03.610 --> 00:24:06.950
and then it'll lead to Jack Perry and Ricochet.
556
00:24:08.930 --> 00:24:09.450
Yeah.
557
00:24:09.930 --> 00:24:11.770
And a singles match for it.
558
00:24:12.310 --> 00:24:13.090
That's what I'm thinking.
559
00:24:13.310 --> 00:24:14.210
I don't know.
560
00:24:14.490 --> 00:24:18.270
They've implied a bunch of times that there's a deeper feud
561
00:24:18.270 --> 00:24:20.130
that's going to happen with Jack Perry and Ricochet,
562
00:24:20.130 --> 00:24:22.770
especially with Luchasaurus out.
563
00:24:23.950 --> 00:24:24.190
Yeah.
564
00:24:24.410 --> 00:24:26.950
I think this is going to be kind of the catalyst
565
00:24:26.950 --> 00:24:30.590
to really start that feud, is what I think.
566
00:24:30.650 --> 00:24:32.450
But I think Ricochet is retaining right now.
567
00:24:32.670 --> 00:24:33.070
Keep it on.
568
00:24:33.070 --> 00:24:34.270
Ricochet is too good.
569
00:24:34.850 --> 00:24:36.550
Keep it on Ricochet for a little bit longer.
570
00:24:36.670 --> 00:24:36.990
Yeah.
571
00:24:37.290 --> 00:24:37.830
No, agreed.
572
00:24:38.310 --> 00:24:38.790
Agreed.
573
00:24:38.950 --> 00:24:41.030
Ricochet has been fantastic.
574
00:24:41.570 --> 00:24:44.270
He is one of those guys who I've realized
575
00:24:44.270 --> 00:24:46.230
he never needs to win a world title.
576
00:24:46.430 --> 00:24:46.830
Never.
577
00:24:47.570 --> 00:24:48.510
No, he doesn't need it.
578
00:24:48.510 --> 00:24:51.490
He's so good at what he's doing,
579
00:24:51.770 --> 00:24:54.750
which is he seems to love just being this mid-card
580
00:24:54.750 --> 00:24:55.970
slimy little shit.
581
00:24:56.970 --> 00:25:00.010
And I can't think of anybody better at it.
582
00:25:00.070 --> 00:25:01.310
He's just so good at it.
583
00:25:01.410 --> 00:25:03.330
And we need people like Ricochet,
584
00:25:03.710 --> 00:25:06.290
because everyone always assumes being a mid-carder
585
00:25:06.290 --> 00:25:08.270
is a bad thing, and it's not.
586
00:25:08.670 --> 00:25:09.890
You need mid-carders.
587
00:25:09.890 --> 00:25:11.510
You need the lower cards.
588
00:25:11.550 --> 00:25:13.150
You need the enhancement talent,
589
00:25:13.150 --> 00:25:15.630
because that's how you move.
590
00:25:16.670 --> 00:25:17.070
Yeah.
591
00:25:18.630 --> 00:25:19.510
Wrestling succeeds.
592
00:25:20.030 --> 00:25:21.570
And you need more people like Ricochet
593
00:25:21.570 --> 00:25:22.950
who love being in that position
594
00:25:22.950 --> 00:25:24.350
and don't feel the need to,
595
00:25:24.610 --> 00:25:26.930
if I'm not a mid-carder, I can't be a mid-carder.
596
00:25:26.950 --> 00:25:28.330
I need to be top of the thing.
597
00:25:28.590 --> 00:25:30.110
Not everyone's going to be a top-biller.
598
00:25:30.490 --> 00:25:30.770
Sorry.
599
00:25:31.310 --> 00:25:32.250
Reality check here.
600
00:25:32.470 --> 00:25:34.030
It's not going to happen now like I'd like.
601
00:25:36.250 --> 00:25:37.650
Blurry Line 7 makes a good point.
602
00:25:37.830 --> 00:25:39.450
They did announce that Tommaso Ciampa
603
00:25:39.450 --> 00:25:41.390
would be in this battle royal last night.
604
00:25:41.390 --> 00:25:43.310
He's the only other person I heard him announce.
605
00:25:43.950 --> 00:25:45.970
So basically out of 21 people we know,
606
00:25:45.970 --> 00:25:49.350
Ricochet, probably Jack Perry, and Tommaso Ciampa.
607
00:25:49.650 --> 00:25:51.510
But he would look incredible with that belt,
608
00:25:51.510 --> 00:25:54.350
but I think it either has to be Jack taking it from Trev
609
00:25:54.350 --> 00:25:56.090
or be the reason he can't retain.
610
00:25:56.870 --> 00:25:57.730
I can see either.
611
00:25:57.890 --> 00:25:58.510
I can see either.
612
00:25:58.590 --> 00:25:59.390
I think you're on to something.
613
00:25:59.390 --> 00:25:59.770
Yeah, I can see either.
614
00:26:00.170 --> 00:26:00.570
Yeah.
615
00:26:00.990 --> 00:26:02.710
Hey, the Scare Glow makes a great point.
616
00:26:02.730 --> 00:26:04.410
I'm looking at Sicko's Club merch for the first time.
617
00:26:04.450 --> 00:26:05.310
It's really fun.
618
00:26:05.830 --> 00:26:07.290
I'll probably just order online.
619
00:26:07.510 --> 00:26:09.210
It would be awesome if you sold some at Dynasty.
620
00:26:09.330 --> 00:26:09.890
I'm Canadian.
621
00:26:09.890 --> 00:26:11.450
I think my friends would be into it.
622
00:26:11.810 --> 00:26:14.110
I don't think they're going to let me anywhere near the building
623
00:26:14.110 --> 00:26:15.250
with Sicko's Club merch.
624
00:26:15.550 --> 00:26:17.330
So it's probably best to order online,
625
00:26:17.350 --> 00:26:19.030
but our shipping rates are very reasonable.
626
00:26:19.370 --> 00:26:20.950
That's what I have to say about that.
627
00:26:21.070 --> 00:26:21.950
And thank you very much.
628
00:26:22.050 --> 00:26:22.990
Thanks for checking it out.
629
00:26:23.290 --> 00:26:25.730
I'll talk to Loverboy.
630
00:26:26.870 --> 00:26:27.750
Holy shit.
631
00:26:27.810 --> 00:26:28.870
Too fat to cook.
632
00:26:29.010 --> 00:26:29.630
Hot Take.
633
00:26:29.710 --> 00:26:30.190
Macho Man.
634
00:26:30.350 --> 00:26:31.110
Greatest Mid Carter.
635
00:26:32.010 --> 00:26:32.450
What?
636
00:26:33.490 --> 00:26:35.550
Macho Man was no Mid Carter?
637
00:26:36.770 --> 00:26:37.430
Oh my God.
638
00:26:37.970 --> 00:26:38.470
Too fat to cook.
639
00:26:38.470 --> 00:26:40.470
I think what you will.
640
00:26:41.650 --> 00:26:42.910
But Books of Body Slams,
641
00:26:43.710 --> 00:26:45.870
watch Macho Man for the first time with me.
642
00:26:46.670 --> 00:26:49.810
And her comments about Macho Man live with me still.
643
00:26:50.570 --> 00:26:53.250
She will be a guest on our next show, Pro Wrestling Forever.
644
00:26:53.390 --> 00:26:55.710
Professor Degree and I are cooking up
645
00:26:56.490 --> 00:26:58.490
because we want to watch old wrestling
646
00:26:58.490 --> 00:27:02.890
with newer fans who don't have their sacred cows that we do.
647
00:27:03.010 --> 00:27:03.670
You know what I mean?
648
00:27:04.150 --> 00:27:04.970
So anyway.
649
00:27:05.550 --> 00:27:06.690
Listen, it was just his voice.
650
00:27:06.890 --> 00:27:07.210
Okay.
651
00:27:07.210 --> 00:27:09.710
You're like, why the hell did he talk like that?
652
00:27:12.570 --> 00:27:14.010
I got enough shit for that.
653
00:27:15.830 --> 00:27:16.350
Good shit.
654
00:27:16.890 --> 00:27:18.490
I stand by what I said.
655
00:27:19.390 --> 00:27:20.850
Moving on to the main card.
656
00:27:21.730 --> 00:27:28.230
We have Toni Storm and Marina Shafir with no one allowed at ringside.
657
00:27:30.120 --> 00:27:31.760
No one.
658
00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:32.520
No one.
659
00:27:32.820 --> 00:27:35.020
It's a match that's been hinted at like forever.
660
00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:38.400
Like since back to blood and guts.
661
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:39.860
Yeah.
662
00:27:40.280 --> 00:27:42.960
And they never made it like a real focus of the show.
663
00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:46.560
It just felt like they thought they had a good time to do it
664
00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:47.920
and then they kept punting on it
665
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.600
and decided to finally do it at Revolution.
666
00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:53.460
It does feel like it's gone on a little long, the build.
667
00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:54.620
Yeah, it's time.
668
00:27:55.040 --> 00:27:57.320
So with no one being allowed at ringside,
669
00:27:57.320 --> 00:28:00.020
do you think that's going to be a wink wink cute kind of way
670
00:28:00.020 --> 00:28:02.700
of getting some kind of creative interference
671
00:28:02.700 --> 00:28:05.800
from either the Death Riders or Mina or Luther?
672
00:28:08.540 --> 00:28:09.360
Do we think so?
673
00:28:09.360 --> 00:28:10.240
I don't know.
674
00:28:10.540 --> 00:28:13.440
Because I don't think Toni would do anything,
675
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:15.100
but Marina definitely would.
676
00:28:15.800 --> 00:28:16.000
Right.
677
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:19.380
But I can also see Marina being like,
678
00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:24.500
I need to prove on my own that I could do this.
679
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:29.920
Well, I kind of think maybe Marina kind of needs to kill Toni in this match.
680
00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:30.640
She does.
681
00:28:31.020 --> 00:28:34.860
I think this is how you make Marina a standout star.
682
00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:37.180
This could be a career making match for her.
683
00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:39.600
This could make her entire career.
684
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:45.080
And I think it would elevate her so quickly to something bigger.
685
00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:48.240
And Toni Storm can absolutely take a loss.
686
00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:51.760
Like, absolutely nobody will care if Toni loses.
687
00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:56.900
I want a Toni crash out, so have her lose.
688
00:28:58.500 --> 00:29:03.540
We didn't really get a crash out when she lost to Mariah, right?
689
00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:05.200
She just disappeared.
690
00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:11.140
So have her go all crazy Hollywood starlet.
691
00:29:11.520 --> 00:29:15.560
That could be such an interesting move for that character.
692
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:19.540
Yeah, or go back to the tag division with Mina.
693
00:29:20.020 --> 00:29:22.200
I mean, there's so many ways it could play out.
694
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.620
Lengott.
695
00:29:23.620 --> 00:29:24.060
Yeah.
696
00:29:24.060 --> 00:29:24.900
Bold, bold.
697
00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:26.840
Calling it now, Marina gets the win this weekend
698
00:29:26.840 --> 00:29:28.580
and gets a title match next month at Dynasty
699
00:29:28.580 --> 00:29:31.020
against either Tekla or Willow.
700
00:29:31.340 --> 00:29:36.110
I think I'd rather see her versus Willow
701
00:29:36.110 --> 00:29:38.130
because that's just a better matchup,
702
00:29:38.130 --> 00:29:40.230
just like a more compelling matchup,
703
00:29:40.450 --> 00:29:43.550
because I think Tekla and Mina would be a weird,
704
00:29:44.290 --> 00:29:46.110
two heels, you know, a little weird.
705
00:29:46.650 --> 00:29:50.850
But two facts to cook says Marina clean pin.
706
00:29:51.330 --> 00:29:54.530
And I say, yeah, that's what I think is going to happen.
707
00:29:54.750 --> 00:29:57.010
I think this is Marina's time.
708
00:29:57.570 --> 00:29:59.210
They've let her lose a few times,
709
00:29:59.210 --> 00:30:01.130
but I think this would be a great way
710
00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:04.410
to just show the audience who has grown very attached
711
00:30:04.410 --> 00:30:06.730
to her through the death writers thing that she's legit.
712
00:30:07.570 --> 00:30:09.670
Put Marina over clean.
713
00:30:10.070 --> 00:30:12.790
I don't think you need any shenanigans.
714
00:30:13.150 --> 00:30:15.190
Again, Toni Storm can take,
715
00:30:15.510 --> 00:30:17.410
she could lose the next 15 matches in a row
716
00:30:17.410 --> 00:30:20.330
and still be over because she's bulletproof.
717
00:30:20.650 --> 00:30:22.510
She's fantastic and we all love her.
718
00:30:22.630 --> 00:30:24.670
I'm as big a Toni Storm fan as there is,
719
00:30:25.930 --> 00:30:27.110
and that's not true.
720
00:30:27.110 --> 00:30:29.710
There was a woman who does Toni Storm cosplay
721
00:30:29.710 --> 00:30:31.850
at some Dynamite shows that I've been to
722
00:30:31.850 --> 00:30:34.770
who might be a bigger fan, but she's the only one.
723
00:30:34.770 --> 00:30:35.750
She's the only one.
724
00:30:35.750 --> 00:30:36.570
Toni, I love you, baby.
725
00:30:36.870 --> 00:30:37.590
Toni, I love you, baby.
726
00:30:37.730 --> 00:30:38.610
Don't ever forget.
727
00:30:39.110 --> 00:30:41.270
I'd wake up much easier if my alarm was Tecla
728
00:30:41.270 --> 00:30:42.790
calling me a big dumb bitch.
729
00:30:43.650 --> 00:30:44.690
Yeah, I think we all would.
730
00:30:44.950 --> 00:30:45.610
I think we all would.
731
00:30:45.790 --> 00:30:47.230
I'd wake up a lot faster.
732
00:30:47.450 --> 00:30:49.870
I think we'd wake up a lot faster.
733
00:30:50.410 --> 00:30:52.070
Lengott, I can see Toni getting caught slipping
734
00:30:52.070 --> 00:30:52.650
against Marina.
735
00:30:52.730 --> 00:30:54.290
Toni can't get out and she goes to sleep.
736
00:30:54.550 --> 00:30:56.870
That's probably the most likely scenario is,
737
00:30:57.650 --> 00:30:58.950
you know, that finisher,
738
00:30:58.950 --> 00:31:01.270
it kind of insulates you from looking bad
739
00:31:01.270 --> 00:31:02.870
because you just pass out in it.
740
00:31:02.870 --> 00:31:07.530
So, you know, it looks like the hug from death
741
00:31:08.230 --> 00:31:11.770
and, you know, mother's milk, baby.
742
00:31:12.230 --> 00:31:13.670
Okay, next match.
743
00:31:15.090 --> 00:31:17.170
Darby, Orange Cassidy, and Roderick Strong
744
00:31:17.170 --> 00:31:21.090
against the Dawgs in a Tornado Trios match.
745
00:31:21.470 --> 00:31:23.990
On paper, might not look like that significant
746
00:31:23.990 --> 00:31:25.590
of a match, but this is going to be fun.
747
00:31:25.950 --> 00:31:26.430
Okay.
748
00:31:26.590 --> 00:31:27.990
Oh, it's going to be amazing.
749
00:31:28.530 --> 00:31:29.610
So, Books, let me ask you,
750
00:31:29.610 --> 00:31:32.190
what is your impression of the Dawgs so far?
751
00:31:32.910 --> 00:31:34.070
I love them.
752
00:31:34.310 --> 00:31:35.970
Listen, I still cannot believe
753
00:31:35.970 --> 00:31:38.630
that after it basically feeling confirmed
754
00:31:38.630 --> 00:31:40.830
in the dirt sheets,
755
00:31:42.870 --> 00:31:44.350
Finley is here.
756
00:31:44.570 --> 00:31:45.690
Like, I have not accepted this.
757
00:31:45.810 --> 00:31:46.670
Every time he's on my screen,
758
00:31:46.750 --> 00:31:48.290
I go, he's supposed to be in WWE.
759
00:31:49.630 --> 00:31:50.930
Like, they've all but confirmed.
760
00:31:51.210 --> 00:31:52.950
Like, it was, it all felt confirmed.
761
00:31:53.490 --> 00:31:54.890
So, I'm just over the moon.
762
00:31:57.380 --> 00:32:00.620
I see the potential storylines with these three
763
00:32:00.620 --> 00:32:07.570
and like, let's say, the elite, the bang, bang, gang.
764
00:32:07.970 --> 00:32:10.330
There is a lot that can happen here.
765
00:32:11.190 --> 00:32:14.470
And I just, give me, I don't like Gabe Kidd
766
00:32:14.470 --> 00:32:15.770
coming out like a dog, though.
767
00:32:16.110 --> 00:32:18.190
It just looks silly.
768
00:32:18.410 --> 00:32:19.290
I think it's the problem.
769
00:32:19.390 --> 00:32:20.050
It looks silly.
770
00:32:21.490 --> 00:32:23.330
But did you see the quotes
771
00:32:23.330 --> 00:32:26.330
from the Sports Illustrated article that they did?
772
00:32:26.950 --> 00:32:29.550
Gabe Kidd said last year was all,
773
00:32:29.550 --> 00:32:30.390
fuck AEW.
774
00:32:30.630 --> 00:32:31.290
Well, not anymore.
775
00:32:31.390 --> 00:32:33.110
Now it's all, fuck New Japan.
776
00:32:33.590 --> 00:32:36.430
Finley said the best thing that ever happened to my dad
777
00:32:36.430 --> 00:32:38.590
is when I came out of his nutsack.
778
00:32:38.930 --> 00:32:41.490
Did you, some people are very upset over that.
779
00:32:41.490 --> 00:32:43.690
And I'm like, he doesn't actually hate his father.
780
00:32:43.810 --> 00:32:46.770
He's doing it in kayfabe fucking dopes.
781
00:32:47.050 --> 00:32:48.270
Jesus Christ.
782
00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:50.430
It's just a great kayfabe interview.
783
00:32:50.490 --> 00:32:51.950
But it was a great read.
784
00:32:52.510 --> 00:32:53.330
If you haven't yet,
785
00:32:53.450 --> 00:32:56.070
go find the dog's interview on SportsSI.com.
786
00:32:56.070 --> 00:32:58.670
It's really, really fucking good.
787
00:32:59.690 --> 00:33:01.390
Bleary Line 7, heck and bad puppers
788
00:33:01.390 --> 00:33:03.330
are gonna win by way of Shalali.
789
00:33:03.930 --> 00:33:05.230
Very likely, I agree.
790
00:33:05.670 --> 00:33:06.870
They are going to win.
791
00:33:07.210 --> 00:33:07.830
Very, almost.
792
00:33:07.870 --> 00:33:08.630
They are gonna win.
793
00:33:08.790 --> 00:33:09.010
Certainly.
794
00:33:09.190 --> 00:33:11.910
There's no point in Roderick Strong
795
00:33:11.910 --> 00:33:14.150
and Orange Cassie and Darby winning.
796
00:33:14.230 --> 00:33:14.870
There's no point.
797
00:33:15.510 --> 00:33:15.950
Yeah, no.
798
00:33:16.370 --> 00:33:19.290
And they're gonna have the trios belts on them
799
00:33:20.570 --> 00:33:21.470
very soon.
800
00:33:21.910 --> 00:33:24.670
You're gonna push those three to the moon right now.
801
00:33:24.670 --> 00:33:27.570
And that squash match that they did
802
00:33:27.570 --> 00:33:29.190
on Collision this last week.
803
00:33:29.710 --> 00:33:30.370
I'm not kidding.
804
00:33:30.590 --> 00:33:32.890
As good as all of the wrestling was on that show,
805
00:33:32.930 --> 00:33:34.090
that was my favorite match.
806
00:33:34.490 --> 00:33:38.070
Because they looked so dominant and so terrifying,
807
00:33:38.690 --> 00:33:40.930
the dogs just killing those dudes.
808
00:33:41.930 --> 00:33:43.550
They all looked so badass.
809
00:33:43.830 --> 00:33:47.630
They looked just like 10 times more badass
810
00:33:47.630 --> 00:33:52.110
than the war dogs ever looked in New Japan.
811
00:33:52.370 --> 00:33:54.450
They just, none of them talked.
812
00:33:54.450 --> 00:33:56.170
I think that's a big part of it.
813
00:33:56.270 --> 00:33:57.410
There's no talking.
814
00:33:57.770 --> 00:33:58.470
Finley's not talking.
815
00:33:58.610 --> 00:33:59.250
Thank God.
816
00:33:59.770 --> 00:34:00.070
Okay.
817
00:34:00.410 --> 00:34:02.450
He's so much better when he's a silent killer.
818
00:34:04.090 --> 00:34:06.710
They'll have to speak eventually, but.
819
00:34:06.850 --> 00:34:08.170
Eventually, but for now.
820
00:34:08.370 --> 00:34:09.710
Let's keep him as quiet as possible.
821
00:34:09.889 --> 00:34:11.150
Just finito.
822
00:34:11.150 --> 00:34:11.550
Quiet.
823
00:34:12.050 --> 00:34:12.909
Bring it down.
824
00:34:13.330 --> 00:34:14.190
Library talk.
825
00:34:14.690 --> 00:34:17.270
Finley in AW is a much better match,
826
00:34:17.350 --> 00:34:19.070
and it continues his progression from New Japan
827
00:34:19.070 --> 00:34:20.090
since they share lore,
828
00:34:20.330 --> 00:34:22.270
and it just continues to be a natural progression.
829
00:34:22.270 --> 00:34:26.230
David Finley also kicked Jay White out of the Bullet Club.
830
00:34:26.510 --> 00:34:27.570
Do we not remember this?
831
00:34:28.230 --> 00:34:29.270
Bullet Club.
832
00:34:30.550 --> 00:34:32.489
So when Jay White comes back,
833
00:34:32.489 --> 00:34:35.370
you get the bang bang gang and the dogs like immediately,
834
00:34:35.370 --> 00:34:37.409
you know, and.
835
00:34:38.130 --> 00:34:38.389
Oh God.
836
00:34:38.590 --> 00:34:39.409
I can't.
837
00:34:39.429 --> 00:34:41.150
I cannot wait.
838
00:34:41.489 --> 00:34:42.530
That's going to be so fun.
839
00:34:42.989 --> 00:34:46.409
Like we also have the elite who are very much still like
840
00:34:46.409 --> 00:34:47.830
full lovers of the Bullet Club.
841
00:34:48.330 --> 00:34:51.070
And Kenny still has his issues with Gabe Kidd, right?
842
00:34:51.070 --> 00:34:53.570
There is so much potential here.
843
00:34:53.590 --> 00:34:54.070
Yeah.
844
00:34:55.110 --> 00:35:00.390
I'm so happy he decided he knew his worth
845
00:35:00.390 --> 00:35:03.710
and his worth was not a C tier show.
846
00:35:04.290 --> 00:35:04.890
Right.
847
00:35:05.070 --> 00:35:09.490
Well, and the thing is like NXT does not pay well to a lot of people.
848
00:35:10.010 --> 00:35:14.370
And if you get an offer to be on prime time,
849
00:35:14.370 --> 00:35:18.450
you know, on the main show of a promotion on Dynamite,
850
00:35:18.450 --> 00:35:23.350
or you get to be on the C show for WWE with no guarantee that you're ever coming up.
851
00:35:23.410 --> 00:35:25.330
Ricky Starks, Saints, whatever.
852
00:35:25.610 --> 00:35:26.910
He's still in NXT.
853
00:35:27.610 --> 00:35:29.610
Blake Monroe is still in NXT.
854
00:35:29.850 --> 00:35:30.310
Yeah.
855
00:35:30.430 --> 00:35:31.530
And Paige goes back and forth.
856
00:35:32.750 --> 00:35:34.470
They're being called up.
857
00:35:34.830 --> 00:35:35.290
Yeah.
858
00:35:35.630 --> 00:35:36.070
Yeah.
859
00:35:36.090 --> 00:35:38.750
So it's like you're just kind of toiling.
860
00:35:38.770 --> 00:35:42.830
So why would you do that and not go to AEW where you can make just as good money,
861
00:35:42.830 --> 00:35:45.390
if not better in a lot of cases,
862
00:35:45.390 --> 00:35:48.530
I think people have a hard time believing that AEW pays more,
863
00:35:48.970 --> 00:35:50.330
but it's been proven that they do.
864
00:35:50.330 --> 00:35:54.210
WWE pays more now because of AEW.
865
00:35:54.610 --> 00:35:57.550
They had to compete with them and getting wrestlers.
866
00:35:58.010 --> 00:36:00.610
Like, why do you think WWE is paying what they are now?
867
00:36:01.170 --> 00:36:02.730
It's not the goodness of their hearts.
868
00:36:02.850 --> 00:36:10.090
They signed Gallows and Anderson to like $750,000 contracts just so they wouldn't go to AEW.
869
00:36:10.190 --> 00:36:11.150
Go to AEW.
870
00:36:13.090 --> 00:36:16.450
So Scare Glow, a bit of a contrary opinion.
871
00:36:16.570 --> 00:36:18.290
I love that Gabe Kidd comes out like a dog.
872
00:36:18.430 --> 00:36:20.430
It does seem like what a madman would do.
873
00:36:20.490 --> 00:36:22.530
I'm a madman, you know, my madman.
874
00:36:22.670 --> 00:36:23.150
That's true.
875
00:36:23.150 --> 00:36:23.610
It does.
876
00:36:23.910 --> 00:36:24.730
That's true.
877
00:36:26.470 --> 00:36:28.690
I have a theory on this match, by the way,
878
00:36:28.690 --> 00:36:31.870
and I think it's just because I really want Jay White to return.
879
00:36:32.410 --> 00:36:34.010
I don't think it's Roddy.
880
00:36:34.710 --> 00:36:37.990
I don't think it's Roddy that's going to do anything.
881
00:36:38.110 --> 00:36:39.270
I think it's going to be Jay White.
882
00:36:40.010 --> 00:36:45.170
Like he comes back and I think the dogs are going to win.
883
00:36:45.230 --> 00:36:51.310
But I think that like they're going to like keep going and trying to beat them up.
884
00:36:51.790 --> 00:36:53.970
And Jay White comes out as like no bitch.
885
00:36:54.570 --> 00:36:54.650
Yep.
886
00:36:55.150 --> 00:36:55.390
Yep.
887
00:36:55.650 --> 00:36:56.610
I could see that.
888
00:36:56.610 --> 00:36:59.670
I mean, I don't know what Jay White status is.
889
00:36:59.670 --> 00:37:00.850
I have no idea.
890
00:37:00.990 --> 00:37:08.830
But if it were possible, there's no update in that crazy music of his hits that like crazy string music and shit.
891
00:37:08.830 --> 00:37:11.410
And it's the New Japan Jay White music.
892
00:37:11.410 --> 00:37:12.410
And he comes out.
893
00:37:13.310 --> 00:37:13.790
Yeah.
894
00:37:14.030 --> 00:37:17.490
So they asked these guys in this interview, why didn't you call yourselves the War Dogs?
895
00:37:17.510 --> 00:37:20.230
And they were like, we don't want to have to fucking pay New Japan a royalty.
896
00:37:20.230 --> 00:37:20.950
Fuck that.
897
00:37:22.450 --> 00:37:24.290
So that's why they're the dogs.
898
00:37:24.930 --> 00:37:28.510
Which makes me think they actually left New Japan on good terms.
899
00:37:28.570 --> 00:37:29.250
Oh, I think so.
900
00:37:29.250 --> 00:37:30.110
I don't think that.
901
00:37:30.210 --> 00:37:30.670
No.
902
00:37:31.030 --> 00:37:34.010
Like I think Forbidden Door is going to be interesting right now.
903
00:37:34.770 --> 00:37:35.610
I mean.
904
00:37:35.610 --> 00:37:39.370
So I mean, they blew up Bullet Club and now they're here.
905
00:37:39.790 --> 00:37:45.370
AW could do a New Japan AW Forbidden Door without using any for New Japan talent at this point.
906
00:37:47.030 --> 00:37:49.430
There is a lot to do, says Leng God.
907
00:37:49.630 --> 00:37:51.110
Osprey still has history with Finley.
908
00:37:51.590 --> 00:37:52.750
Jay can settle up with Finley.
909
00:37:52.790 --> 00:37:55.390
Finley and Mox is going to be interesting when that time comes.
910
00:37:55.830 --> 00:37:57.970
Gabe is very tight with Mox.
911
00:37:58.590 --> 00:37:58.830
Yeah.
912
00:37:59.250 --> 00:38:03.070
No, there's a lot out there for the dogs to do.
913
00:38:03.070 --> 00:38:06.210
So I never thought I would be one of the people.
914
00:38:06.210 --> 00:38:09.270
Gabe Kidd vs Kenny Omega round two.
915
00:38:09.670 --> 00:38:10.190
Hello.
916
00:38:11.190 --> 00:38:12.870
I never thought I'd be saying this.
917
00:38:13.990 --> 00:38:16.730
But I am loving the dogs in AW.
918
00:38:17.330 --> 00:38:19.270
I really wasn't that excited about it.
919
00:38:20.150 --> 00:38:26.710
And I'm very happy they kept the announcement that they signed till they were able to announce all three of them.
920
00:38:26.730 --> 00:38:32.420
Because I think that just hit.
921
00:38:32.420 --> 00:38:34.740
Like that was.
922
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:35.560
Blurry Line seven.
923
00:38:35.640 --> 00:38:38.380
All dog faction names that aren't British Bulldogs are bad names.
924
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:41.500
I think you might be slightly biased in this, my friend.
925
00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:46.080
You might be slightly biased player line from the UK.
926
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:48.860
Leng God.
927
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.060
I'd like for Jay to make a beeline for the AW world title when he first comes back.
928
00:38:52.080 --> 00:38:57.760
It's also worth noting that a few years ago when Finley attacked Will and Mox, Mox wasn't really that upset.
929
00:38:58.940 --> 00:39:18.340
So, yeah, you know, is there going to be like, I think maybe the bigger thing for the dogs to do if Jay White's not ready would be to attack the death riders and like, like declare beef, like formal declaration of beef, like bring a pound of beef into the ring and throw it on the ground.
930
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:19.480
Like beef has been declared.
931
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:21.620
And then go for it.
932
00:39:22.540 --> 00:39:24.520
Because that'd be really disgusting.
933
00:39:24.520 --> 00:39:26.140
And then people have to wrestle on that later.
934
00:39:26.140 --> 00:39:27.360
So that's gross.
935
00:39:29.600 --> 00:39:31.700
Swerve Strickland versus Brody King.
936
00:39:34.740 --> 00:39:35.420
Here's the thing.
937
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.880
Three weeks ago, this match was like an intriguing idea like on paper.
938
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:40.980
That's a cool idea.
939
00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:47.020
I think they've done a pretty good job building it the last in a very short period of time by making it feel very personal.
940
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:52.920
Oh, God, I cannot decide who I want to win here.
941
00:39:53.740 --> 00:39:54.580
It's crazy.
942
00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:56.700
My answer has changed every hour.
943
00:39:56.700 --> 00:40:00.340
I know who I want to win and I know who I think is going to win.
944
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:01.920
And they're not the same thing.
945
00:40:03.560 --> 00:40:09.520
So in my dream world, Brody is going to win in his hometown.
946
00:40:09.940 --> 00:40:15.500
He's going to beat Swerve because Kenny Omega makes a triumphant return and fucks over Swerve.
947
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:18.240
OK, not sure that's going to happen.
948
00:40:18.820 --> 00:40:20.340
I'm not sure that's going to happen.
949
00:40:20.340 --> 00:40:26.840
I love that because it will then set up Kenny versus Swerve again, which we all need injected into our daily lives again.
950
00:40:27.060 --> 00:40:31.120
I also need it to be a dynasty because I'm going to that show and I want to see that match in person.
951
00:40:31.620 --> 00:40:33.760
OK, so guys, fingers crossed.
952
00:40:33.860 --> 00:40:34.680
All right.
953
00:40:35.540 --> 00:40:41.560
I also think that Brody really needs a big win like this.
954
00:40:42.220 --> 00:40:47.380
And even if it's shenanigans that get him there, it's still a big win.
955
00:40:47.380 --> 00:40:50.820
You know, and beating Swerve would be huge for him.
956
00:40:51.120 --> 00:41:00.680
Yeah, so I, you know, I think it probably the more likely scenario is that Swerve is going to win because Swerve is definitely feeling like the main man right now.
957
00:41:00.680 --> 00:41:03.280
Like he is holy shit.
958
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:06.840
He is back on the crazy shit.
959
00:41:08.860 --> 00:41:13.280
But does Swerve losing is what starts the embassy again?
960
00:41:13.980 --> 00:41:17.060
Well, so there's two ways you can go with that.
961
00:41:17.060 --> 00:41:18.120
So like.
962
00:41:19.040 --> 00:41:24.060
I have a prediction for the main event that bleeds from this, but.
963
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.380
Nana's got that embassy towel.
964
00:41:26.600 --> 00:41:32.040
We know that they just signed one of the dudes from Hit Row just signed.
965
00:41:33.560 --> 00:41:38.540
So people with history with Swerve are signing to the company.
966
00:41:40.120 --> 00:41:42.320
It really feels like anything could happen.
967
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:44.400
You know, it really does.
968
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.240
And then I think that.
969
00:41:47.680 --> 00:41:53.880
Yeah, so I think the more likely thing is that Swerve will win just he's a made of he's an established made event or that's on the upswing right now.
970
00:41:53.960 --> 00:42:02.040
You know, on his way to top heel status again, MJF better be watching his ass because Swerve is coming right up behind him.
971
00:42:02.620 --> 00:42:10.660
Yeah, but Swerve has been so loud about, hey, look, if this is business from now on, I want the world title.
972
00:42:10.680 --> 00:42:11.900
That's all I care about.
973
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:16.460
He already said that his apology to Hangman that he took it back.
974
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:20.300
So yeah, I don't know.
975
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:28.120
I why I go back and forth on this is because one, I think Brody needs to win.
976
00:42:28.120 --> 00:42:33.500
Yeah, Swerve does not, especially because I'm 100 percent convinced.
977
00:42:33.500 --> 00:42:38.500
I know who's winning the main title because you've already kind of set up.
978
00:42:38.500 --> 00:42:45.600
And I know I had a crash out when Hangman lost the last time, but I think it would be funny if Hangman's reigns are all short.
979
00:42:47.700 --> 00:42:48.720
It just keeps losing.
980
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:54.020
They're short in terms of time.
981
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:57.480
They're long. He has a lot of defenses in short periods of time.
982
00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:02.880
Yeah, but I think it'd be funny if he if he wins and then immediately loses to Swerve.
983
00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:10.420
So yeah, I have some mixed feelings about who could win the main event, but I'm going to be bold.
984
00:43:10.560 --> 00:43:16.200
I'm going to predict that Kenny Omega somehow makes his presence known and costs Swerve the match.
985
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:21.460
I think that would definitely be literally I think the Capcom thing is over.
986
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:24.080
Well, yeah, yeah.
987
00:43:24.100 --> 00:43:30.400
And Kenny's also a worker, so it's highly possible that one, he was never going to be there on the day of revolution.
988
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:33.780
And he's just been fucking with everybody because that's what Kenny likes to do.
989
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.160
Or two, he realized the writing's on the wall.
990
00:43:37.160 --> 00:43:38.060
You've got to be there.
991
00:43:38.560 --> 00:43:40.820
You've got to be there.
992
00:43:42.120 --> 00:43:43.840
Like got Brody beating Swerve would be amazing.
993
00:43:43.860 --> 00:43:44.980
But then what for Brody?
994
00:43:45.080 --> 00:43:47.340
I mean, that's that's the million dollar question.
995
00:43:47.820 --> 00:43:52.400
If Max is still champion, possibly that if.
996
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:56.060
Yeah, but there's you know, there's other top heels for him to wrestle, too.
997
00:43:56.700 --> 00:44:04.720
So, you know, I mean, him beating Swerve definitely feels like, you know, you should be the number one contender with a win over Swerve.
998
00:44:05.100 --> 00:44:06.300
But who's to say?
999
00:44:07.020 --> 00:44:07.440
Blair line.
1000
00:44:07.740 --> 00:44:09.900
I mean, either Andrade or Swerve has to lose.
1001
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:15.380
I don't think we can have both of those heels win because they would both have claims to being the top heel first contender.
1002
00:44:16.600 --> 00:44:17.000
Agreed.
1003
00:44:17.780 --> 00:44:18.180
Agreed.
1004
00:44:18.780 --> 00:44:19.500
Tony Montoya.
1005
00:44:19.600 --> 00:44:21.120
Swerve needs to say on the straight.
1006
00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:24.080
Tony, that's such a bad joke.
1007
00:44:24.180 --> 00:44:25.300
That's such a dad joke.
1008
00:44:25.300 --> 00:44:26.540
Swerve on the straight and there.
1009
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:27.300
Oh, my God.
1010
00:44:28.060 --> 00:44:29.220
I just got that.
1011
00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:31.780
Tony Langott.
1012
00:44:31.780 --> 00:44:34.400
Swerve said he regrets nothing that he did because it got rid of the top.
1013
00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:38.280
That said, I think we're going heading for Swerve and Page for the title.
1014
00:44:38.460 --> 00:44:41.040
Enough time has elapsed since our last fight and it's time.
1015
00:44:43.110 --> 00:44:45.150
I will explain to you why I think that may not happen.
1016
00:44:46.090 --> 00:44:47.090
Blair line seven.
1017
00:44:47.350 --> 00:44:48.250
Kenny can be home in time.
1018
00:44:48.370 --> 00:44:52.610
In my honest opinion, there was like zero doubt and the story being leaked to Fightful was on purpose.
1019
00:44:53.030 --> 00:44:55.110
I think that's highly possible.
1020
00:44:55.230 --> 00:44:56.290
I think that's highly possible.
1021
00:44:56.290 --> 00:45:03.690
I think they I think they forget that A.W. fans are pretty on it.
1022
00:45:03.730 --> 00:45:04.990
Clued in on it.
1023
00:45:05.050 --> 00:45:12.930
And like we can easily like, oh, you know, you're I feel like it was it was done on purpose.
1024
00:45:13.090 --> 00:45:18.110
I watched Kenny do an entire interview with Sean Ross Sapp where all he did was lie.
1025
00:45:18.350 --> 00:45:19.790
All he did was lie.
1026
00:45:20.270 --> 00:45:21.490
I'm not OK.
1027
00:45:21.610 --> 00:45:22.870
This is going to be it.
1028
00:45:22.890 --> 00:45:24.710
Yeah. Oh, God, I'm not on my game.
1029
00:45:24.710 --> 00:45:33.870
It was before the match with Gabe and he literally acted like they really hated each other, like they really didn't like each other.
1030
00:45:33.910 --> 00:45:35.870
And he never broke the entire time.
1031
00:45:36.110 --> 00:45:36.830
He never smiled.
1032
00:45:37.150 --> 00:45:38.710
He never winked at the camera.
1033
00:45:39.730 --> 00:45:41.290
He took it as a personal challenge.
1034
00:45:41.490 --> 00:45:42.690
Give him enough credit.
1035
00:45:43.010 --> 00:45:45.530
Like we always talk about MJF constantly being in character.
1036
00:45:46.310 --> 00:45:46.490
Yeah.
1037
00:45:46.930 --> 00:45:49.070
Kenny Omega does not break character.
1038
00:45:49.490 --> 00:45:50.230
No, no.
1039
00:45:50.430 --> 00:45:51.630
Kenny is a worker, man.
1040
00:45:51.870 --> 00:45:53.010
He is full of shit.
1041
00:45:53.010 --> 00:45:53.950
And I love it.
1042
00:45:53.950 --> 00:45:55.570
I love every minute of it.
1043
00:45:55.910 --> 00:45:56.090
Yes.
1044
00:45:56.210 --> 00:45:57.230
Well, it's great.
1045
00:45:57.250 --> 00:45:57.850
They brought this up.
1046
00:45:57.850 --> 00:45:58.570
The scare glow.
1047
00:45:58.650 --> 00:45:59.870
I'm excited for a ton of matches.
1048
00:46:00.030 --> 00:46:02.350
But Andrade versus Bandito is going to be hard to top.
1049
00:46:02.770 --> 00:46:04.810
So, Books, do you think it's going to be Brody then?
1050
00:46:06.690 --> 00:46:07.530
I don't know.
1051
00:46:08.310 --> 00:46:09.510
I think so.
1052
00:46:09.690 --> 00:46:11.290
But then I don't want Bandito to lose.
1053
00:46:11.310 --> 00:46:12.970
I don't think they're both going to win.
1054
00:46:14.670 --> 00:46:14.970
Yeah.
1055
00:46:14.970 --> 00:46:16.450
I don't think they can both win.
1056
00:46:17.710 --> 00:46:21.830
So because I think that I also don't want them to break them up.
1057
00:46:21.830 --> 00:46:26.190
So I don't want there to be one wins and the other one loses.
1058
00:46:26.190 --> 00:46:27.130
There are going to be issues.
1059
00:46:27.990 --> 00:46:29.370
But I think.
1060
00:46:31.350 --> 00:46:36.910
Or they both win and then they have to face each other to figure out who's going to be the number one contender.
1061
00:46:36.970 --> 00:46:37.310
Which I don't want.
1062
00:46:37.310 --> 00:46:37.530
I don't want.
1063
00:46:37.970 --> 00:46:38.770
I don't want that.
1064
00:46:38.770 --> 00:46:45.590
They are not going to have the guy who says fuck ice on his Mexican friend.
1065
00:46:45.670 --> 00:46:46.810
They are not going to do that.
1066
00:46:47.070 --> 00:46:48.270
It's just not happening.
1067
00:46:48.830 --> 00:46:50.410
That would be insane, suicidal.
1068
00:46:50.710 --> 00:46:52.450
Don't do that at all.
1069
00:46:52.450 --> 00:46:54.510
Like Brodito is for life.
1070
00:46:55.450 --> 00:46:56.050
Yeah.
1071
00:46:56.750 --> 00:47:03.790
I want to say I think they're going to kind of pull like a WWE move here.
1072
00:47:03.790 --> 00:47:05.830
And they're going to keep pushing Andrade.
1073
00:47:06.590 --> 00:47:15.290
Especially after this whole we're going to make you have not compete for a year because we fired you.
1074
00:47:15.430 --> 00:47:15.850
Yeah.
1075
00:47:16.110 --> 00:47:16.670
Basically.
1076
00:47:17.430 --> 00:47:18.110
Well so.
1077
00:47:18.350 --> 00:47:20.770
So I think Andrade is being skyrocketed.
1078
00:47:20.770 --> 00:47:24.550
So my guess is Brody and not then Andrade.
1079
00:47:25.870 --> 00:47:29.910
So that's the next match we're going to talk about is Andrade versus Bandito.
1080
00:47:30.650 --> 00:47:33.290
I agree with the scareglow on a pure athletic level.
1081
00:47:33.430 --> 00:47:35.410
This is the match I am most excited to see.
1082
00:47:35.790 --> 00:47:41.450
I think these two could do some generational shit in a match.
1083
00:47:41.690 --> 00:47:43.350
Like it's going to be unbelievable.
1084
00:47:43.830 --> 00:47:47.690
I am such a Bandito mark, but I am such an Andrade mark.
1085
00:47:47.690 --> 00:47:48.690
So it.
1086
00:47:49.410 --> 00:47:49.650
Yeah.
1087
00:47:50.250 --> 00:47:54.650
You know, like what Warrior versus Hogan at WrestleMania 6 was to some kids.
1088
00:47:54.670 --> 00:47:55.790
This is to me.
1089
00:47:55.970 --> 00:47:56.290
Okay.
1090
00:47:56.510 --> 00:47:58.150
Like I don't make me choose.
1091
00:47:58.150 --> 00:47:58.650
All right.
1092
00:47:58.650 --> 00:47:59.370
Can they both win?
1093
00:47:59.690 --> 00:48:01.030
Is there a way to do that?
1094
00:48:01.030 --> 00:48:01.890
Can they both win?
1095
00:48:02.050 --> 00:48:02.250
Please?
1096
00:48:02.810 --> 00:48:03.250
Yes.
1097
00:48:03.570 --> 00:48:04.010
Yes.
1098
00:48:04.310 --> 00:48:04.930
Tony Montoya.
1099
00:48:04.950 --> 00:48:06.670
I have heard that Kenny likes to fuck with people.
1100
00:48:06.670 --> 00:48:07.730
Lying is a strong word.
1101
00:48:07.990 --> 00:48:08.650
It's true.
1102
00:48:09.090 --> 00:48:09.550
It's true.
1103
00:48:09.670 --> 00:48:10.030
Tony.
1104
00:48:10.430 --> 00:48:15.750
Bleary Line 7 says Kenny Omega loves lying and does like a very smarmy smile when
1105
00:48:15.750 --> 00:48:16.850
he's lying, which is always.
1106
00:48:16.850 --> 00:48:20.910
And then Bleary Line says if Brodito breaks up, I will fight Tony Khan in London.
1107
00:48:21.110 --> 00:48:22.330
I've walked past Craven Cottage.
1108
00:48:22.410 --> 00:48:23.470
I know where to find him.
1109
00:48:24.170 --> 00:48:25.330
You heard it.
1110
00:48:25.330 --> 00:48:25.790
You heard it.
1111
00:48:25.790 --> 00:48:26.130
TK.
1112
00:48:26.190 --> 00:48:26.670
It's true.
1113
00:48:26.670 --> 00:48:27.710
You can't break up Brodito.
1114
00:48:27.810 --> 00:48:28.630
You just can't do it.
1115
00:48:28.630 --> 00:48:29.230
It's not right.
1116
00:48:29.230 --> 00:48:30.050
You can't.
1117
00:48:30.130 --> 00:48:31.110
No, no.
1118
00:48:31.350 --> 00:48:36.830
I would say that Andrade and Bandito have both been pushed super hard and
1119
00:48:36.830 --> 00:48:40.010
it's obvious TK sees both as potential main eventers.
1120
00:48:40.310 --> 00:48:44.830
When MJ, I've said after that title match, Bandito will be a world champion
1121
00:48:44.830 --> 00:48:45.230
someday.
1122
00:48:45.790 --> 00:48:49.050
I take that as like Tony Khan telling the crowd.
1123
00:48:49.130 --> 00:48:52.350
Don't be too bummed that he lost this match because he is going to be a
1124
00:48:52.350 --> 00:48:52.610
champion.
1125
00:48:52.730 --> 00:48:53.210
Yeah.
1126
00:48:54.330 --> 00:48:56.670
So Bandito is still pretty young, isn't he?
1127
00:48:56.930 --> 00:48:57.970
I think he's like 30.
1128
00:48:58.830 --> 00:49:00.470
Yeah, he's pretty young.
1129
00:49:00.710 --> 00:49:00.790
Yeah.
1130
00:49:00.970 --> 00:49:04.370
I think right now they're going to push the talent they know is a
1131
00:49:05.230 --> 00:49:07.010
little aging out.
1132
00:49:07.490 --> 00:49:07.970
Yeah.
1133
00:49:08.010 --> 00:49:08.230
Yeah.
1134
00:49:08.330 --> 00:49:08.810
Unfortunately.
1135
00:49:10.330 --> 00:49:15.030
And then they're really building up that next main event scene too.
1136
00:49:15.030 --> 00:49:18.490
I'm doing a really good job at both right now.
1137
00:49:18.550 --> 00:49:19.030
Yeah.
1138
00:49:19.270 --> 00:49:23.050
I think there's a chance Andrade wins because this isn't for the ROH
1139
00:49:23.050 --> 00:49:23.490
title.
1140
00:49:24.150 --> 00:49:25.890
Andrade has gotten some huge wins.
1141
00:49:26.050 --> 00:49:28.250
He's beaten Kenny and Swerve.
1142
00:49:28.550 --> 00:49:30.270
But Bandito has beaten some huge people.
1143
00:49:30.330 --> 00:49:34.050
He's beaten Takeshita and even Pindokata in a tag match last year.
1144
00:49:34.730 --> 00:49:36.350
So it's hard to tell that way.
1145
00:49:36.350 --> 00:49:39.550
But I think the ROH title not being a part of this kind of maybe
1146
00:49:39.550 --> 00:49:40.910
gives away a little bit of the ending.
1147
00:49:41.650 --> 00:49:43.270
I'm still going to choose with my heart.
1148
00:49:43.270 --> 00:49:46.650
And I'm picking Bandito because I do.
1149
00:49:46.790 --> 00:49:49.450
This is why you don't get your predictions right.
1150
00:49:49.470 --> 00:49:50.710
You let your heart speak to me.
1151
00:49:50.710 --> 00:49:51.050
I know.
1152
00:49:51.050 --> 00:49:51.710
I'm an idiot.
1153
00:49:51.890 --> 00:49:53.950
I mean, I think that's been well documented.
1154
00:49:54.090 --> 00:49:56.650
I have a podcast where every week you don't listen to me be wrong.
1155
00:49:57.530 --> 00:49:58.890
But I'm rolling with it.
1156
00:49:58.950 --> 00:49:59.130
Okay.
1157
00:49:59.150 --> 00:49:59.830
I'm rolling with it.
1158
00:49:59.830 --> 00:50:02.730
I mean, we've got people listening still for now.
1159
00:50:02.930 --> 00:50:03.330
Len Gott.
1160
00:50:03.450 --> 00:50:06.370
One thing that is hitting me while I watch ROH is that Bandito
1161
00:50:06.370 --> 00:50:07.990
and Athena have held their titles long enough.
1162
00:50:08.030 --> 00:50:11.150
It's time to get those titles off of them and get them onto
1163
00:50:11.150 --> 00:50:12.310
AEW TV now.
1164
00:50:12.310 --> 00:50:14.810
I could not agree more, especially in the case of Athena.
1165
00:50:15.390 --> 00:50:15.830
Yeah.
1166
00:50:15.850 --> 00:50:17.570
Bandito is pretty much in AEW.
1167
00:50:17.790 --> 00:50:19.510
I mean, you know.
1168
00:50:19.850 --> 00:50:24.750
And it feels like they're holding off for the official TV announcement
1169
00:50:25.290 --> 00:50:26.010
for ROH.
1170
00:50:27.530 --> 00:50:30.530
And I don't know if they know who is going to beat Athena.
1171
00:50:31.690 --> 00:50:32.930
I think it's Billy Starks.
1172
00:50:33.130 --> 00:50:34.450
I think that's always been the plan.
1173
00:50:35.490 --> 00:50:38.750
Tony never changes his mind about this shit once he makes it up.
1174
00:50:39.630 --> 00:50:41.130
Once he's like, this is it, this is it.
1175
00:50:41.130 --> 00:50:46.610
But I don't think Athena is coming until Mercedes is back
1176
00:50:46.610 --> 00:50:47.910
and wins the women's world.
1177
00:50:48.150 --> 00:50:48.670
Yeah.
1178
00:50:49.150 --> 00:50:49.550
Yeah.
1179
00:50:50.250 --> 00:50:54.770
And that's when Athena will lose the ROH and come back to the
1180
00:50:54.770 --> 00:50:55.930
AEW roster.
1181
00:50:57.990 --> 00:50:59.230
Len Gott with the point of the night.
1182
00:50:59.470 --> 00:51:00.390
Bandito can't break up.
1183
00:51:00.550 --> 00:51:02.310
No, not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
1184
00:51:02.950 --> 00:51:05.570
Andrade Bandito is lucha graps at its absolute finest.
1185
00:51:05.790 --> 00:51:08.030
Now, honestly, good with either outcome.
1186
00:51:08.430 --> 00:51:09.210
So am I.
1187
00:51:09.210 --> 00:51:11.210
Honestly, I will be sad a little.
1188
00:51:11.630 --> 00:51:14.570
A part of my inner child will cry a little bit if Bandito loses,
1189
00:51:16.050 --> 00:51:18.510
but I'm OK with it because I love Andrade.
1190
00:51:19.210 --> 00:51:19.650
I can't wait.
1191
00:51:19.710 --> 00:51:22.290
Those are the only two where, like I said, I keep going back and forth.
1192
00:51:22.390 --> 00:51:24.350
So I'm like, whatever happens, whatever happens.
1193
00:51:24.470 --> 00:51:25.830
Like, I'm not going to be upset.
1194
00:51:26.030 --> 00:51:29.650
Like, I'm not going to have I'm going to have butterflies, but not like the,
1195
00:51:29.790 --> 00:51:32.030
oh, my God, this person's definitely losing butterflies.
1196
00:51:33.090 --> 00:51:35.070
Oh, my God, I don't care which way this goes.
1197
00:51:35.770 --> 00:51:36.170
Yeah.
1198
00:51:36.170 --> 00:51:39.450
And it has a really basic story, which is that, you know,
1199
00:51:39.590 --> 00:51:42.310
Bandito admired Andrade while he was coming up,
1200
00:51:42.650 --> 00:51:43.590
watching, watching Andrade.
1201
00:51:43.950 --> 00:51:46.890
And Andrade is an arrogant dick who thinks Bandito is a nobody
1202
00:51:47.930 --> 00:51:51.110
and not worth kissing his boots, you know.
1203
00:51:51.930 --> 00:51:57.210
So Okada and Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis,
1204
00:51:57.990 --> 00:52:02.330
who colloquially I call Mark Protokada.
1205
00:52:02.490 --> 00:52:04.130
Mark Protokada is what I call them.
1206
00:52:04.130 --> 00:52:06.370
I just think that's a great name.
1207
00:52:07.010 --> 00:52:10.410
Are going to face Mystico, Speedball Bailey and Kevin Knight.
1208
00:52:12.670 --> 00:52:15.970
I think this match could go either way, but I have one outcome
1209
00:52:15.970 --> 00:52:17.010
that I think is most likely.
1210
00:52:18.210 --> 00:52:19.890
I think I agree with your outcome.
1211
00:52:20.990 --> 00:52:24.310
I think Mystico and Jet Speed are going to lose.
1212
00:52:24.870 --> 00:52:27.170
And Kevin Knight is not going to take it very well.
1213
00:52:27.990 --> 00:52:29.850
Swerve's gotten into him.
1214
00:52:30.530 --> 00:52:31.590
He's shaking him up.
1215
00:52:33.050 --> 00:52:34.410
And Kevin Knight.
1216
00:52:35.410 --> 00:52:36.710
It's in his head now.
1217
00:52:37.090 --> 00:52:44.080
You know, I'm not suggesting he will turn on Speedball right
1218
00:52:44.080 --> 00:52:44.700
then and there.
1219
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:47.200
I just think he's going to be really pissed.
1220
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:48.820
I think.
1221
00:52:48.980 --> 00:52:52.040
And I don't necessarily know how they're going to break them
1222
00:52:52.040 --> 00:52:58.440
up, but they've kind of been hinting at it a little bit
1223
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:01.420
since the Continental Classic.
1224
00:53:01.420 --> 00:53:01.880
Yeah.
1225
00:53:03.900 --> 00:53:05.980
So I agree there.
1226
00:53:08.710 --> 00:53:11.830
And because I think also going forward, the better match
1227
00:53:11.830 --> 00:53:17.470
to put the trios onto the dogs are dogless families.
1228
00:53:19.290 --> 00:53:22.050
Because again, there's history with.
1229
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:25.940
They're all New Japan, right?
1230
00:53:27.080 --> 00:53:30.020
So there's a lot of history there.
1231
00:53:30.940 --> 00:53:33.220
Blair Alliance says, I think the most logical booking is
1232
00:53:33.220 --> 00:53:35.680
Kenny Koss Swerve setting up Kenny and Swerve.
1233
00:53:35.980 --> 00:53:38.240
Brody getting his big win back after losing to MJF.
1234
00:53:38.380 --> 00:53:41.060
Then Andrade beats Bandito to be the first heel challenger
1235
00:53:41.060 --> 00:53:42.500
in line for Hangman.
1236
00:53:45.860 --> 00:53:46.800
That's what I see.
1237
00:53:46.940 --> 00:53:50.200
I think the winner of Bandito and Andrade will tell you
1238
00:53:50.200 --> 00:53:54.340
a lot about what's going to happen with Hangman and MJF.
1239
00:53:54.940 --> 00:53:55.300
Yeah.
1240
00:53:55.520 --> 00:53:58.860
I say that about every about a match on every show.
1241
00:53:59.040 --> 00:54:00.020
And I'm always wrong.
1242
00:54:00.020 --> 00:54:02.400
I mean, so I said that is probably wrong.
1243
00:54:03.300 --> 00:54:05.840
And that's just for me reading somebody else's idea,
1244
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:07.600
which is now wrong because I read it.
1245
00:54:08.420 --> 00:54:09.720
So sorry, Blair Alliance.
1246
00:54:10.240 --> 00:54:12.220
Mark Protocotta sounds like a business studies teacher
1247
00:54:12.220 --> 00:54:13.240
from New Zealand.
1248
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:18.140
My name is Mark Protocotta.
1249
00:54:18.640 --> 00:54:20.160
I'm here to teach business.
1250
00:54:20.500 --> 00:54:23.360
By the way, how wild is it that Okada and Ozzy Open
1251
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:25.920
are the reigning AEW trios champions with Okada
1252
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:29.080
and Kyle is double champs with Okada hating Takeshita
1253
00:54:29.080 --> 00:54:31.360
and Kyle besties with Takeshita.
1254
00:54:31.660 --> 00:54:33.160
I just can't wait to watch.
1255
00:54:33.300 --> 00:54:34.880
We all know how I feel about Don Callis.
1256
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:39.340
I cannot wait to watch the downfall of the Don Callis family.
1257
00:54:41.100 --> 00:54:44.200
And he's playing with fire here.
1258
00:54:44.200 --> 00:54:49.100
And it's going to be glorious when the fire starts to burn him.
1259
00:54:49.520 --> 00:54:53.620
Well, we're edging towards that and edging.
1260
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:54.540
I can't wait.
1261
00:54:54.540 --> 00:54:57.280
Yes, we are definitely edging happening.
1262
00:54:59.560 --> 00:55:01.900
All right, next match, Babes of Wrath versus Megan Bain
1263
00:55:01.900 --> 00:55:04.000
and Lena Cross for the AEW Women's Tag titles.
1264
00:55:04.040 --> 00:55:04.960
We talked about this earlier.
1265
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:06.140
I think the chat agreed.
1266
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:09.340
Willow is going to be tired out, all tuckered out
1267
00:55:09.340 --> 00:55:11.340
from defending as Lena Cross.
1268
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:15.100
Harley Cameron got choked slammed on a giant crate
1269
00:55:16.180 --> 00:55:18.000
on collision, I think it was.
1270
00:55:18.580 --> 00:55:21.260
So to me, the outcome of this one feels kind of obvious.
1271
00:55:21.320 --> 00:55:23.940
There's no reason for the Babes of Wrath to win this.
1272
00:55:23.940 --> 00:55:28.000
Honestly, I'm tired of the double champ thing they needed.
1273
00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:30.820
We have too many double champs right now.
1274
00:55:31.380 --> 00:55:35.120
I love that Willow is defending both titles,
1275
00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:37.780
but I'm fucking done with it.
1276
00:55:39.300 --> 00:55:41.160
Especially in the women's division, I'm done.
1277
00:55:41.560 --> 00:55:44.620
Well, it's kind of funny because I had bitched
1278
00:55:44.620 --> 00:55:46.780
about the double champ thing last year a lot.
1279
00:55:47.340 --> 00:55:48.960
And then Tony just went harder on it.
1280
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:50.240
It was like he's listening to my podcast,
1281
00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:52.220
like, fuck you, Blade, fuck you, Blade.
1282
00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:56.960
But you have enough people.
1283
00:55:57.060 --> 00:55:58.940
You have this gigantic fucking roster.
1284
00:55:59.020 --> 00:56:01.060
There's no need to have any double champions.
1285
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:04.480
If you're a champion, your first priority should be
1286
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:05.800
to defend your title.
1287
00:56:06.340 --> 00:56:07.080
Your title.
1288
00:56:07.160 --> 00:56:09.440
And I think now they've built up the women's tag team
1289
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.640
enough where I also don't think,
1290
00:56:11.740 --> 00:56:13.140
I know everyone's like, oh my God,
1291
00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:15.900
I always want to call them the iconics.
1292
00:56:16.900 --> 00:56:18.060
The inspiration, yeah.
1293
00:56:18.580 --> 00:56:19.360
The inspiration.
1294
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:22.300
I know they lost in like basically a squash match,
1295
00:56:22.340 --> 00:56:25.200
but obviously that is leading to a rematch
1296
00:56:25.200 --> 00:56:29.160
between Megan Bain and Lena Cross versus them.
1297
00:56:32.210 --> 00:56:35.770
And what better way to put that title on them
1298
00:56:35.770 --> 00:56:40.780
and then have that be the rematch.
1299
00:56:41.860 --> 00:56:42.240
Yeah.
1300
00:56:42.560 --> 00:56:47.880
I think when I saw those two walk out together
1301
00:56:48.660 --> 00:56:52.540
with the matching gear, Lena Cross and Megan Bain,
1302
00:56:53.260 --> 00:56:56.560
it's like that's like the skyscrapers from WCW
1303
00:56:56.560 --> 00:56:58.840
back in the day with Sid and Dan Spivey.
1304
00:56:59.940 --> 00:57:02.460
They have aura that's just like,
1305
00:57:02.640 --> 00:57:04.040
they're the fucking road warriors.
1306
00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:06.880
They are dominant.
1307
00:57:07.700 --> 00:57:08.520
They should kill everyone.
1308
00:57:08.560 --> 00:57:11.980
I feel like if Penelope Ford didn't get injured,
1309
00:57:12.620 --> 00:57:14.140
I said from the beginning, I said,
1310
00:57:14.200 --> 00:57:17.500
I was like, Megan Bain and Penelope Ford
1311
00:57:17.500 --> 00:57:20.980
were the only two matching for the longest fucking time.
1312
00:57:21.700 --> 00:57:24.280
It was clear where that was going.
1313
00:57:27.490 --> 00:57:30.830
So it sucks that it can't be Penelope Ford,
1314
00:57:30.890 --> 00:57:33.350
but I think Cross makes more sense right now.
1315
00:57:34.010 --> 00:57:35.070
You know, they just got to go,
1316
00:57:35.270 --> 00:57:36.510
they can't wait anymore.
1317
00:57:38.170 --> 00:57:40.490
And I want those tag titles to mean something.
1318
00:57:40.570 --> 00:57:43.210
What happens when you have double champions
1319
00:57:43.210 --> 00:57:45.670
and especially when you have more than one
1320
00:57:46.710 --> 00:57:50.230
is it really diminishes the value of all the titles they hold
1321
00:57:51.770 --> 00:57:54.070
because it's not like,
1322
00:57:54.670 --> 00:57:56.850
I personally feel like if as a wrestler,
1323
00:57:56.950 --> 00:57:58.010
when you hold a title,
1324
00:57:58.070 --> 00:58:00.570
that should be your goal is to retain that title,
1325
00:58:01.190 --> 00:58:04.590
not to keep going and getting more titles within the same company.
1326
00:58:04.670 --> 00:58:07.430
You know, Mercedes, that was kind of its own thing, you know,
1327
00:58:07.670 --> 00:58:10.410
but like, there was a point to it.
1328
00:58:10.450 --> 00:58:12.710
There was a story, an overarching story.
1329
00:58:12.890 --> 00:58:14.990
Yeah. And she's still wrapping up, you know,
1330
00:58:14.990 --> 00:58:15.850
losing all those.
1331
00:58:15.990 --> 00:58:18.810
And I don't necessarily mind with the men,
1332
00:58:18.810 --> 00:58:23.710
like, because having a double champion
1333
00:58:23.710 --> 00:58:25.430
that is also a trios champion
1334
00:58:25.430 --> 00:58:27.410
means that the trios is being defended
1335
00:58:27.410 --> 00:58:30.230
while you still see those other two championships,
1336
00:58:30.330 --> 00:58:32.550
but that also leaves room for,
1337
00:58:32.710 --> 00:58:35.410
we have three women's matches on this pay-per-view.
1338
00:58:35.430 --> 00:58:37.190
Yeah. Yeah.
1339
00:58:37.710 --> 00:58:40.910
No, four. Four? Tony.
1340
00:58:41.310 --> 00:58:43.370
Willow and Cross,
1341
00:58:43.370 --> 00:58:47.350
Tony and Marina, the tag team and the women's world.
1342
00:58:47.630 --> 00:58:49.870
We have four women's matches
1343
00:58:49.870 --> 00:58:52.530
on every single women's championship
1344
00:58:52.530 --> 00:58:54.850
plus another one is being defended.
1345
00:58:55.070 --> 00:58:55.670
That's pretty cool.
1346
00:58:56.290 --> 00:58:57.110
That's pretty cool.
1347
00:58:58.190 --> 00:58:58.930
That's, you know.
1348
00:58:59.130 --> 00:59:01.330
I put more double championships on the men.
1349
00:59:01.510 --> 00:59:02.350
I take it back, Tony.
1350
00:59:02.710 --> 00:59:04.950
Keep the double championships on the men.
1351
00:59:05.250 --> 00:59:07.870
If it means that we get four women's matches on a pay-per-view.
1352
00:59:08.670 --> 00:59:10.930
Blariel on the Penelope Erasure going on.
1353
00:59:11.290 --> 00:59:12.430
Hey, I'm not a racing her.
1354
00:59:12.430 --> 00:59:16.510
Okay. It's just they've got to get these titles off the waves of wrath.
1355
00:59:16.910 --> 00:59:18.110
It's time. It's time.
1356
00:59:19.290 --> 00:59:20.570
No, I love Penelope.
1357
00:59:20.590 --> 00:59:21.930
I was so bummed for her.
1358
00:59:22.730 --> 00:59:23.730
So, yeah, that's my prediction.
1359
00:59:23.850 --> 00:59:24.750
I think Bain and Cross,
1360
00:59:24.810 --> 00:59:26.870
I would have them win in a dominant way.
1361
00:59:26.870 --> 00:59:28.210
I would just have them kill.
1362
00:59:28.650 --> 00:59:29.630
Just murder them.
1363
00:59:30.310 --> 00:59:32.650
Well, especially because Willow is going to be tired
1364
00:59:32.650 --> 00:59:36.790
and we already know Megan Bain is able to crush Harley.
1365
00:59:36.830 --> 00:59:38.390
I don't want to see Harley crush,
1366
00:59:38.630 --> 00:59:39.710
but I'm also like,
1367
00:59:39.710 --> 00:59:45.030
you literally can just have them not let her tag out and crush her.
1368
00:59:45.230 --> 00:59:46.070
Right. Right.
1369
00:59:46.190 --> 00:59:49.870
And Willow just is too banged up to, you know,
1370
00:59:50.390 --> 00:59:52.270
help her out as much as she needs.
1371
00:59:53.630 --> 00:59:54.070
Next match,
1372
00:59:54.190 --> 00:59:57.730
we got Kenosuke Takeshita versus John Moxley for the Continental title
1373
00:59:57.730 --> 00:59:58.910
with no time limit.
1374
00:59:59.790 --> 01:00:03.730
I had said on the show last week that this match was not built well.
1375
01:00:03.970 --> 01:00:06.550
They announced it was one of the first three matches that got announced.
1376
01:00:07.670 --> 01:00:09.590
And I supported that.
1377
01:00:10.070 --> 01:00:12.870
And then they just kind of didn't do anything with it
1378
01:00:12.870 --> 01:00:14.550
for several weeks after that.
1379
01:00:15.570 --> 01:00:18.010
But on Collision and then on Dynamite,
1380
01:00:18.050 --> 01:00:20.450
I felt like they went a ways forward with it.
1381
01:00:20.450 --> 01:00:21.970
And I'm happy to see that.
1382
01:00:22.310 --> 01:00:23.990
I'm happy to see that they might.
1383
01:00:24.230 --> 01:00:26.230
The point I made last week on the show is
1384
01:00:26.230 --> 01:00:28.590
who is Kenosuke Takeshita right now?
1385
01:00:28.830 --> 01:00:29.510
You know what I mean?
1386
01:00:29.910 --> 01:00:32.390
You can't do the silent killer thing with him anymore
1387
01:00:32.390 --> 01:00:34.770
because it's obvious he's about to turn baby face.
1388
01:00:35.530 --> 01:00:36.490
So why?
1389
01:00:37.070 --> 01:00:38.170
How has he changed?
1390
01:00:38.570 --> 01:00:40.890
How is he now not compatible with Don?
1391
01:00:41.230 --> 01:00:42.950
How is he now not compatible?
1392
01:00:43.410 --> 01:00:45.370
And with just a few simple things,
1393
01:00:45.370 --> 01:00:46.910
they made it very clear.
1394
01:00:47.710 --> 01:00:49.630
So thank you guys for listening to the show last week
1395
01:00:49.630 --> 01:00:50.410
and taking my advice.
1396
01:00:50.570 --> 01:00:52.510
Obviously, that's what did it.
1397
01:00:53.410 --> 01:00:54.150
I'm kidding.
1398
01:00:54.410 --> 01:00:54.750
I'm kidding.
1399
01:00:56.450 --> 01:00:58.530
But, you know, Takeshita telling Hedgesero,
1400
01:00:58.590 --> 01:00:59.370
I don't need any help.
1401
01:00:59.470 --> 01:01:00.390
I don't want any help.
1402
01:01:00.390 --> 01:01:04.090
You know, clearly shows Takeshita wants to beat Moxley
1403
01:01:04.090 --> 01:01:08.790
on his own by his own merits, right?
1404
01:01:09.390 --> 01:01:13.370
So I think that's a good thing.
1405
01:01:13.590 --> 01:01:15.150
That's some good character development.
1406
01:01:15.790 --> 01:01:17.970
We also know Takeshita is about to get bounced
1407
01:01:17.970 --> 01:01:20.410
from the Don Callas family in a very painful way.
1408
01:01:21.030 --> 01:01:23.030
Him turning down the Don Callas family
1409
01:01:23.030 --> 01:01:26.930
and their help was not a sign for good health
1410
01:01:26.930 --> 01:01:28.230
for Takeshita going forward.
1411
01:01:28.870 --> 01:01:30.870
Now we all know in the Continental Classic
1412
01:01:30.870 --> 01:01:32.410
that if you interfere in that match,
1413
01:01:32.450 --> 01:01:34.050
you could be suspended if not fired.
1414
01:01:36.370 --> 01:01:38.410
So I don't think that's what's going to happen.
1415
01:01:38.410 --> 01:01:39.970
I don't think there's going to be rampant interference
1416
01:01:39.970 --> 01:01:40.510
in the match.
1417
01:01:41.530 --> 01:01:45.010
I think Takeshita will either win or lose on his own
1418
01:01:46.410 --> 01:01:48.130
and he will decline to celebrate
1419
01:01:48.130 --> 01:01:49.370
with the Don Callas family
1420
01:01:49.370 --> 01:01:52.430
and will get his ass kicked for it.
1421
01:01:53.710 --> 01:01:55.950
Which then leads to Okada versus Takeshita.
1422
01:01:56.310 --> 01:01:57.450
Right. Right.
1423
01:01:57.450 --> 01:02:00.450
And the question for me is like,
1424
01:02:01.270 --> 01:02:03.010
does Takeshita win this?
1425
01:02:04.130 --> 01:02:04.490
Yeah.
1426
01:02:04.490 --> 01:02:06.370
Or does the Don Callas family try to help him
1427
01:02:06.370 --> 01:02:07.370
and they fuck him over?
1428
01:02:08.450 --> 01:02:09.990
No, he's going to win
1429
01:02:09.990 --> 01:02:12.790
because then I'll be Okada versus Takeshita
1430
01:02:12.790 --> 01:02:14.210
for the Unified Championship
1431
01:02:14.210 --> 01:02:15.810
because what the fuck was the point
1432
01:02:15.810 --> 01:02:17.730
of the Unified Championship?
1433
01:02:19.290 --> 01:02:20.710
Yeah, Books, I feel like I broke your brain
1434
01:02:20.710 --> 01:02:21.310
with that one.
1435
01:02:21.330 --> 01:02:23.690
I feel like I was the one going,
1436
01:02:23.850 --> 01:02:25.670
why the fuck did they do this?
1437
01:02:25.670 --> 01:02:27.390
And then everybody told me to calm down
1438
01:02:27.390 --> 01:02:29.210
and then they took a minute to think about it themselves.
1439
01:02:29.430 --> 01:02:30.850
Now everybody else is like,
1440
01:02:30.870 --> 01:02:32.610
why the fuck did they do that?
1441
01:02:33.390 --> 01:02:34.750
It's true though.
1442
01:02:35.190 --> 01:02:35.810
It's true.
1443
01:02:35.850 --> 01:02:36.570
Why the fuck?
1444
01:02:39.170 --> 01:02:43.530
You know, consolidate two titles.
1445
01:02:45.270 --> 01:02:46.490
The only time Okada has defended
1446
01:02:46.490 --> 01:02:48.430
the international title recently
1447
01:02:48.430 --> 01:02:51.130
was in ROH last week.
1448
01:02:51.650 --> 01:02:52.650
What the fuck?
1449
01:02:53.310 --> 01:02:55.510
It's like they're already planning for Okada to lose.
1450
01:02:55.750 --> 01:02:58.510
We should make Okada a fucking crazy person.
1451
01:02:59.310 --> 01:03:00.570
Okada doesn't need a title.
1452
01:03:00.910 --> 01:03:02.350
I'm sorry, he doesn't.
1453
01:03:02.930 --> 01:03:04.650
Yep, yep.
1454
01:03:05.030 --> 01:03:06.370
Larry Line, I find it weird that Tak
1455
01:03:06.370 --> 01:03:08.150
is a heel who's the babyface in a feud
1456
01:03:08.150 --> 01:03:10.110
with the faction of heels where the leader he's facing
1457
01:03:10.110 --> 01:03:12.250
is a babyface but is the heel in this feud.
1458
01:03:14.790 --> 01:03:16.630
That's the nicest way to put it.
1459
01:03:16.670 --> 01:03:17.910
That is pretty much...
1460
01:03:17.910 --> 01:03:20.770
I also don't want Jon Moxley to be a babyface.
1461
01:03:21.570 --> 01:03:25.430
Well, I don't think there's any turning back on that.
1462
01:03:25.650 --> 01:03:28.210
I don't think the Death Riders are going to...
1463
01:03:28.210 --> 01:03:29.630
I think something's still...
1464
01:03:29.630 --> 01:03:31.590
I think they're kind of waiting for us to forget
1465
01:03:31.590 --> 01:03:33.430
that we expected them to turn
1466
01:03:33.430 --> 01:03:35.110
and then they're going to turn.
1467
01:03:35.610 --> 01:03:36.890
I never, because I need something...
1468
01:03:36.890 --> 01:03:38.770
I need Claudio to do something meaningful.
1469
01:03:40.310 --> 01:03:42.470
And that's to leave the Death Riders.
1470
01:03:43.150 --> 01:03:44.390
Yeah, yeah.
1471
01:03:44.430 --> 01:03:46.250
No, I think Mox might lose
1472
01:03:47.510 --> 01:03:49.950
sometime, someday,
1473
01:03:50.650 --> 01:03:51.170
be turned on.
1474
01:03:51.270 --> 01:03:51.850
I don't know.
1475
01:03:52.230 --> 01:03:55.950
I'm done predicting the downfall of the Death Riders.
1476
01:03:56.990 --> 01:03:58.230
I did that for too long
1477
01:03:58.230 --> 01:03:58.950
and it got me nowhere.
1478
01:04:00.130 --> 01:04:01.770
At least in the last year
1479
01:04:01.770 --> 01:04:03.630
they've made the Death Riders interesting again.
1480
01:04:03.890 --> 01:04:04.570
So good job.
1481
01:04:05.890 --> 01:04:06.110
Yeah.
1482
01:04:07.370 --> 01:04:10.270
Lengott, I think we're in the same boat here.
1483
01:04:10.350 --> 01:04:11.250
I can see Takeshta winning
1484
01:04:11.250 --> 01:04:13.070
and Kyle celebrating with him the weeks to follow.
1485
01:04:13.230 --> 01:04:14.310
We'll see Don running interference
1486
01:04:14.310 --> 01:04:16.650
trying to keep Takeshta from going after Okada's title.
1487
01:04:17.070 --> 01:04:17.910
He will fail.
1488
01:04:18.670 --> 01:04:20.310
Yes, I believe that is
1489
01:04:21.150 --> 01:04:21.990
perfectly correct.
1490
01:04:23.070 --> 01:04:24.110
It's not a unified title.
1491
01:04:24.330 --> 01:04:25.570
It hurts my brain.
1492
01:04:25.630 --> 01:04:27.690
When a belt is lost, why would they do this?
1493
01:04:28.370 --> 01:04:30.530
You know, I was talking with KFabK about this
1494
01:04:31.090 --> 01:04:32.050
and she was like,
1495
01:04:32.050 --> 01:04:34.010
yeah, well, I think the winner of the C2,
1496
01:04:34.050 --> 01:04:35.070
if it's not Okada,
1497
01:04:35.690 --> 01:04:36.930
we'll have to challenge Okada
1498
01:04:36.930 --> 01:04:40.330
and whoever wins that will be the new unified champion.
1499
01:04:40.350 --> 01:04:42.230
And I'm like, I don't think that's what they're going to do.
1500
01:04:42.230 --> 01:04:44.510
And it was not what they did.
1501
01:04:45.850 --> 01:04:46.950
Tony Khan just thought that
1502
01:04:46.950 --> 01:04:48.690
people, much like Tony Khan
1503
01:04:48.690 --> 01:04:50.630
thought we would approve
1504
01:04:50.630 --> 01:04:52.950
of lineal champions
1505
01:04:52.950 --> 01:04:53.730
and
1506
01:04:53.730 --> 01:04:55.970
what do they call that?
1507
01:04:57.610 --> 01:04:59.050
When somebody gets injured,
1508
01:04:59.810 --> 01:05:00.070
they win,
1509
01:05:00.150 --> 01:05:02.450
they become the
1510
01:05:02.450 --> 01:05:03.430
replacement champion.
1511
01:05:04.090 --> 01:05:05.010
I forget.
1512
01:05:07.350 --> 01:05:08.810
Nobody liked it.
1513
01:05:08.970 --> 01:05:10.050
Nobody liked it at all.
1514
01:05:10.050 --> 01:05:12.150
And so, don't do that.
1515
01:05:12.870 --> 01:05:13.310
Don't do that.
1516
01:05:13.410 --> 01:05:15.830
Nobody likes this un-unifying of a title.
1517
01:05:17.870 --> 01:05:18.350
Lineal
1518
01:05:18.350 --> 01:05:19.090
and interim.
1519
01:05:19.590 --> 01:05:20.650
Thank you, Larry Lyne.
1520
01:05:21.510 --> 01:05:24.070
There should be no interim champions.
1521
01:05:24.130 --> 01:05:24.670
Fuck that.
1522
01:05:25.050 --> 01:05:28.090
Just strip people of the title if they're going to be out for a long time.
1523
01:05:29.370 --> 01:05:31.630
Do what Tony does and just don't talk about the title
1524
01:05:31.630 --> 01:05:33.810
for a really long time until somebody comes back.
1525
01:05:34.350 --> 01:05:35.890
Like the ROH television title
1526
01:05:35.890 --> 01:05:37.650
that Nick Wayne is still the champion.
1527
01:05:40.050 --> 01:05:42.470
I think my heart says to Kesha
1528
01:05:42.470 --> 01:05:43.270
has to win this.
1529
01:05:43.590 --> 01:05:45.590
I don't want John Moxley to win this.
1530
01:05:47.170 --> 01:05:48.310
John Moxley doesn't need
1531
01:05:48.310 --> 01:05:49.050
a championship.
1532
01:05:49.710 --> 01:05:51.150
He's John Moxley.
1533
01:05:54.700 --> 01:05:56.200
I think John Moxley
1534
01:05:56.200 --> 01:05:57.380
wants to Kesha to win.
1535
01:05:57.720 --> 01:06:00.380
I think John Moxley is also very much about pushing the future.
1536
01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:06.540
Len Gott, I actually like the modern Triple Crown
1537
01:06:06.540 --> 01:06:08.340
and I'm glad that Eddie Kingston got to do it
1538
01:06:08.340 --> 01:06:10.460
given his lean toward all Japan OGs.
1539
01:06:10.460 --> 01:06:12.280
I agree. I liked the concept
1540
01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:14.200
and then it was over so fast.
1541
01:06:14.660 --> 01:06:16.480
Like it just stopped
1542
01:06:16.480 --> 01:06:18.500
happening within like a couple
1543
01:06:18.500 --> 01:06:20.620
of months and Tony kind of made a big deal about it when they
1544
01:06:20.620 --> 01:06:22.580
announced it and then barely talked about it
1545
01:06:22.580 --> 01:06:24.580
after that and then Eddie lost all three
1546
01:06:24.580 --> 01:06:26.220
belts like so shortly thereafter.
1547
01:06:26.220 --> 01:06:28.820
It was like, you know,
1548
01:06:28.820 --> 01:06:30.640
one thing that I think
1549
01:06:30.640 --> 01:06:32.320
the only thing, the only mistake
1550
01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:34.380
I think has been made in Okada's booking
1551
01:06:34.920 --> 01:06:36.840
since he's been in AEW
1552
01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:38.460
is the fact
1553
01:06:38.460 --> 01:06:40.320
that he never defends any of his titles.
1554
01:06:40.500 --> 01:06:42.900
He just never does. Like
1555
01:06:42.900 --> 01:06:44.440
that international title's probably
1556
01:06:44.440 --> 01:06:46.500
been defended like four times since he won it
1557
01:06:46.500 --> 01:06:48.380
like a year ago
1558
01:06:48.380 --> 01:06:49.380
almost, you know.
1559
01:06:50.420 --> 01:06:52.340
Didn't Kenny, Kenny had more defenses
1560
01:06:52.340 --> 01:06:54.000
than his short reign. I think he did.
1561
01:06:54.300 --> 01:06:56.340
I think he did. And I think the
1562
01:06:56.340 --> 01:06:58.340
unified title only got defended like two or three
1563
01:06:58.340 --> 01:07:00.260
times. It was like Swerve
1564
01:07:00.260 --> 01:07:02.640
at Forbidden Door. I think Speedball
1565
01:07:02.640 --> 01:07:04.160
he defended it against
1566
01:07:04.160 --> 01:07:06.600
and maybe one other time but I mean he barely
1567
01:07:06.600 --> 01:07:09.340
defended it. So
1568
01:07:09.340 --> 01:07:10.080
yeah.
1569
01:07:10.740 --> 01:07:12.920
And I love Okada but it's time. Okada doesn't
1570
01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:14.800
have Okada be a menace.
1571
01:07:15.060 --> 01:07:16.440
Have Okada go after
1572
01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:18.880
Hangman if Hangman wins the title. You know what I mean?
1573
01:07:19.300 --> 01:07:20.600
Yeah. I want to see Okada
1574
01:07:20.600 --> 01:07:22.660
with an AEW world title reign. God
1575
01:07:22.660 --> 01:07:24.360
damn it. Even if it's short.
1576
01:07:26.040 --> 01:07:26.380
Alright.
1577
01:07:26.640 --> 01:07:28.580
Moving on to the match everybody's really excited
1578
01:07:28.580 --> 01:07:30.580
about if you look online is FTR
1579
01:07:30.580 --> 01:07:32.620
versus the Young Bucks for the
1580
01:07:32.620 --> 01:07:34.620
AEW men's world. I don't know. I'm
1581
01:07:34.620 --> 01:07:36.680
actually excited for it. I know.
1582
01:07:37.620 --> 01:07:38.980
It's been like three years
1583
01:07:38.980 --> 01:07:40.620
since the last time they were in a match together.
1584
01:07:40.840 --> 01:07:42.300
People are like again?
1585
01:07:42.940 --> 01:07:44.640
It's like they've had four matches
1586
01:07:44.640 --> 01:07:46.760
in five years. We had
1587
01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:48.680
seven Kyle Fletcher versus Mark
1588
01:07:48.680 --> 01:07:50.660
Briscoe matches in one year.
1589
01:07:51.500 --> 01:07:52.040
One.
1590
01:07:53.500 --> 01:07:54.480
Only two of them were steps.
1591
01:07:56.580 --> 01:07:58.640
We also had Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns
1592
01:07:58.640 --> 01:08:01.460
like seven times. Yeah. Yeah.
1593
01:08:01.720 --> 01:08:02.900
They fuck over it.
1594
01:08:02.900 --> 01:08:04.380
They're two of the best tag teams in the world.
1595
01:08:04.600 --> 01:08:06.720
Doing what two of the best tag teams do.
1596
01:08:06.980 --> 01:08:08.960
Oh my god. Two of the best tag teams do.
1597
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:11.160
And that's put on a fucking great match.
1598
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:11.840
Yeah.
1599
01:08:12.940 --> 01:08:14.360
And beat the shit out of each other.
1600
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:17.020
The Bucks are in their hometown.
1601
01:08:19.520 --> 01:08:20.960
They have to avenge their
1602
01:08:20.960 --> 01:08:22.840
brother. Malachi.
1603
01:08:22.939 --> 01:08:27.609
Yeah. Do the Bucks win?
1604
01:08:27.710 --> 01:08:29.390
Is there any way they could lose?
1605
01:08:29.890 --> 01:08:31.149
I don't think so. No.
1606
01:08:31.510 --> 01:08:33.689
In the beginning I thought
1607
01:08:33.689 --> 01:08:34.689
FTR would win.
1608
01:08:35.930 --> 01:08:37.689
And now I've come around.
1609
01:08:37.790 --> 01:08:39.729
Once they pile drove Malachi I was like
1610
01:08:39.729 --> 01:08:40.590
they can't lose.
1611
01:08:41.470 --> 01:08:42.649
That's just not a good look.
1612
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:47.200
Also the Bucks have been
1613
01:08:47.200 --> 01:08:48.979
very vocal in that
1614
01:08:48.979 --> 01:08:50.500
this is their last contract.
1615
01:08:51.420 --> 01:08:51.880
Yeah.
1616
01:08:53.960 --> 01:08:55.319
So I
1617
01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:56.040
think
1618
01:08:56.800 --> 01:08:58.899
they're going to
1619
01:08:58.899 --> 01:09:01.100
they're going to win. But I also
1620
01:09:01.100 --> 01:09:02.100
think that
1621
01:09:03.439 --> 01:09:03.899
I
1622
01:09:03.899 --> 01:09:06.300
my prediction is this is
1623
01:09:06.300 --> 01:09:08.060
the Young Bucks last hurrah as a
1624
01:09:08.060 --> 01:09:09.640
tag team. They're going to win.
1625
01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:11.920
And then we're going to get a trios run.
1626
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:14.220
But
1627
01:09:16.060 --> 01:09:18.359
but I also think they're not going to win cleanly.
1628
01:09:18.660 --> 01:09:20.080
Yeah. I think they're going to
1629
01:09:20.080 --> 01:09:20.899
have some help.
1630
01:09:22.220 --> 01:09:23.140
Yes. Well
1631
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:26.120
you know a certain cope and Christian have been gone
1632
01:09:26.120 --> 01:09:27.899
a very long time now.
1633
01:09:28.180 --> 01:09:30.040
Very long time. And the last time
1634
01:09:30.040 --> 01:09:31.899
we saw them
1635
01:09:31.899 --> 01:09:33.979
Beth took a fucking spiked pile driver
1636
01:09:33.979 --> 01:09:34.740
from FTR.
1637
01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:38.040
So they've got to do something pretty dastardly.
1638
01:09:39.819 --> 01:09:40.279
Cope is
1639
01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:41.979
done filming and or if he's still filming
1640
01:09:41.979 --> 01:09:44.859
at least it's in LA. Right. Right.
1641
01:09:45.220 --> 01:09:46.040
Len Gott the death
1642
01:09:46.040 --> 01:09:47.979
writers are a brotherhood unless Claudio decides
1643
01:09:47.979 --> 01:09:50.120
to prove Eddie right with what he tried
1644
01:09:50.120 --> 01:09:51.520
to tell mocks three years ago.
1645
01:09:51.540 --> 01:09:53.540
I don't see them splitting at any point.
1646
01:09:53.979 --> 01:09:55.880
But what if he did prove him right?
1647
01:09:56.100 --> 01:09:57.880
What if what if Claudio becomes
1648
01:09:57.880 --> 01:10:00.240
the contemptible heel that
1649
01:10:00.240 --> 01:10:01.780
I would love to see him be.
1650
01:10:02.580 --> 01:10:04.100
I want a
1651
01:10:04.100 --> 01:10:05.800
heel Claudio. Yeah.
1652
01:10:05.940 --> 01:10:07.740
Like he was at the beginning of the death writers
1653
01:10:07.740 --> 01:10:09.080
where he was like scary.
1654
01:10:09.540 --> 01:10:11.360
I want scary. Yes.
1655
01:10:12.020 --> 01:10:13.880
I want scary Claudio. Give me scary Claudio.
1656
01:10:16.180 --> 01:10:17.780
Bucks versus FTR is guaranteed to be
1657
01:10:17.780 --> 01:10:19.880
incredible scare glow. I don't think it's possible to
1658
01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:21.900
not blow people's minds. Totally agree.
1659
01:10:22.520 --> 01:10:23.720
Totally. Yeah. They
1660
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:25.820
literally put on the best tag
1661
01:10:25.820 --> 01:10:26.900
matches at like.
1662
01:10:27.800 --> 01:10:29.440
When you think of the best tag matches,
1663
01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:31.600
it's FTR in the
1664
01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:33.620
Young Bucks or the Young Bucks and Lucha
1665
01:10:33.620 --> 01:10:35.440
Bros. But yeah. Right.
1666
01:10:35.660 --> 01:10:37.600
Or it always has the
1667
01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:39.340
Young Bucks in it. The barely departed
1668
01:10:39.340 --> 01:10:42.000
Lucha Bros. RIP.
1669
01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:43.380
Len Gott
1670
01:10:43.380 --> 01:10:45.500
Rod and Todd winning back the tag titles feels like
1671
01:10:45.500 --> 01:10:47.520
a given. It kind of does. Kind of does feel
1672
01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:49.280
like a given. Think of how quick this
1673
01:10:49.280 --> 01:10:50.620
baby face turn happened.
1674
01:10:52.930 --> 01:10:55.010
Okay though. Their downfall was
1675
01:10:55.010 --> 01:10:57.150
a year ago. We got to be real.
1676
01:10:57.650 --> 01:10:59.450
The Bucks are boring
1677
01:10:59.450 --> 01:11:00.710
as baby faces.
1678
01:11:01.030 --> 01:11:03.190
And like I can handle it for
1679
01:11:03.190 --> 01:11:04.530
a short period of time.
1680
01:11:05.550 --> 01:11:07.350
I wish they would retain
1681
01:11:07.350 --> 01:11:09.010
part of the dickishness
1682
01:11:09.010 --> 01:11:11.290
of their heel characters
1683
01:11:11.290 --> 01:11:12.910
as baby faces.
1684
01:11:12.910 --> 01:11:15.090
But trying to do better. Like they
1685
01:11:15.090 --> 01:11:17.030
first did on being the elite when they were still mean
1686
01:11:17.030 --> 01:11:18.130
to Brandon. Yeah.
1687
01:11:19.890 --> 01:11:20.930
But they don't
1688
01:11:20.930 --> 01:11:22.950
talk. They haven't been giving many
1689
01:11:22.950 --> 01:11:24.870
interviews. They're barely on
1690
01:11:24.870 --> 01:11:26.890
I think they're gearing up. I think
1691
01:11:26.890 --> 01:11:29.310
they're gearing up for something. I hope so.
1692
01:11:29.590 --> 01:11:30.970
I hope so because I think
1693
01:11:32.310 --> 01:11:32.990
I think
1694
01:11:32.990 --> 01:11:35.070
they're going to win. They're going to get some of their dickishness
1695
01:11:35.070 --> 01:11:36.810
back. Because don't forget Kenny is
1696
01:11:36.810 --> 01:11:38.590
borderline gray too right now.
1697
01:11:40.090 --> 01:11:40.570
So
1698
01:11:41.290 --> 01:11:43.010
and that's when
1699
01:11:43.010 --> 01:11:44.930
the three of them are at their best
1700
01:11:44.930 --> 01:11:47.190
is in that gray area. So
1701
01:11:47.190 --> 01:11:48.970
I think them winning
1702
01:11:48.970 --> 01:11:50.950
and kind of like
1703
01:11:50.950 --> 01:11:53.050
keep super kick party. Right?
1704
01:11:54.350 --> 01:11:55.070
Like keep
1705
01:11:55.070 --> 01:11:57.010
the tassels. Keep all that makes them like
1706
01:11:57.010 --> 01:11:59.350
a good face team
1707
01:11:59.350 --> 01:12:01.410
while bringing back some of that attitude.
1708
01:12:01.530 --> 01:12:03.110
Yeah. And I think
1709
01:12:03.110 --> 01:12:05.010
Kenny going to be on a little bit
1710
01:12:05.010 --> 01:12:06.110
of a mission. Yeah.
1711
01:12:07.450 --> 01:12:08.890
Is going to help
1712
01:12:08.890 --> 01:12:10.630
turn them back into a little bit of an asshole.
1713
01:12:10.830 --> 01:12:13.090
I agree. Lengat, I'd be
1714
01:12:13.090 --> 01:12:15.610
fine with Claudio going full heel if it means we got
1715
01:12:15.610 --> 01:12:17.190
Mox and Eddie back on the regular.
1716
01:12:17.350 --> 01:12:18.870
Yes. Your comment
1717
01:12:18.870 --> 01:12:20.970
actually gave me that same idea and
1718
01:12:20.970 --> 01:12:22.870
that's why I kind of started talking about
1719
01:12:22.870 --> 01:12:25.050
yeah, no, make Claudio the lying
1720
01:12:25.050 --> 01:12:27.270
bastard that Eddie always said he was.
1721
01:12:27.890 --> 01:12:28.650
And then
1722
01:12:28.650 --> 01:12:30.950
because they never did like shake hands and
1723
01:12:30.950 --> 01:12:32.970
be friends, you know, like they still
1724
01:12:32.970 --> 01:12:35.470
hate each other in K-Fabe. So
1725
01:12:35.470 --> 01:12:36.730
that would be great.
1726
01:12:37.030 --> 01:12:39.030
That would be fantastic. And Mox
1727
01:12:39.030 --> 01:12:40.970
with Eddie again would be fantastic.
1728
01:12:41.650 --> 01:12:43.070
Yeah. Because I don't think Mox
1729
01:12:43.070 --> 01:12:44.850
is turning hard heel
1730
01:12:44.850 --> 01:12:46.930
anytime soon. No, no.
1731
01:12:47.770 --> 01:12:49.210
And despite what people think
1732
01:12:49.210 --> 01:12:51.210
when you watch back a year ago
1733
01:12:51.210 --> 01:12:53.110
and everything, John Moxley was
1734
01:12:53.110 --> 01:12:55.090
always over. Yeah. Oh, big time.
1735
01:12:55.250 --> 01:12:57.290
Yeah. Like his boos and middle
1736
01:12:57.290 --> 01:12:59.250
fingers were not because he was a heel.
1737
01:12:59.510 --> 01:13:01.270
It's because that's what you did to
1738
01:13:01.270 --> 01:13:03.050
the Death Riders. He was
1739
01:13:03.050 --> 01:13:04.430
still very much over.
1740
01:13:07.010 --> 01:13:07.690
Next match.
1741
01:13:10.480 --> 01:13:12.700
So I do think the Bucks are going to win. I think
1742
01:13:12.700 --> 01:13:14.640
Cope and Christian come back. I think FTR is in
1743
01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:15.820
deep shit.
1744
01:13:16.940 --> 01:13:17.880
Next match
1745
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:20.020
for the Women's World Championship.
1746
01:13:20.260 --> 01:13:21.680
Best two out of three falls.
1747
01:13:22.160 --> 01:13:23.620
Chris Stetlander versus Tecla.
1748
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:27.560
I think this match is going to be excellent.
1749
01:13:28.120 --> 01:13:29.480
I think it's going to
1750
01:13:30.080 --> 01:13:31.760
you know, Tecla has looked
1751
01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:33.720
incredible in everything she's done.
1752
01:13:34.300 --> 01:13:35.900
And she's really hit her
1753
01:13:35.900 --> 01:13:37.160
stride the last few months.
1754
01:13:37.700 --> 01:13:40.060
In like a huge way. And
1755
01:13:40.060 --> 01:13:41.800
I'm very excited to see
1756
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:44.160
what comes next for her. But
1757
01:13:44.800 --> 01:13:47.160
I think Tecla has to win this match.
1758
01:13:48.120 --> 01:13:48.960
I do too.
1759
01:13:49.080 --> 01:13:49.920
I think she'll win in three falls.
1760
01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:52.000
As much as I would love Stat Daddy. Yeah.
1761
01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:54.300
To be champion again, it's just
1762
01:13:54.300 --> 01:13:55.560
it's not Stats time.
1763
01:13:56.340 --> 01:13:58.200
There is no way in
1764
01:13:58.200 --> 01:14:00.300
their right mind I think they could have Tecla
1765
01:14:00.300 --> 01:14:02.440
drop the title right now. She's organically
1766
01:14:02.440 --> 01:14:04.320
over. And I honestly
1767
01:14:04.320 --> 01:14:06.360
I think Stat would be booed if she
1768
01:14:06.360 --> 01:14:08.340
won. And I don't think you want
1769
01:14:08.340 --> 01:14:09.580
that. You don't want that.
1770
01:14:10.500 --> 01:14:12.320
So I think you got to stick
1771
01:14:12.320 --> 01:14:14.740
you got to stick with Tecla and have her
1772
01:14:14.740 --> 01:14:16.660
be the hill to climb for whoever comes
1773
01:14:16.660 --> 01:14:17.300
next.
1774
01:14:18.660 --> 01:14:20.140
That could be Toni Storm.
1775
01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:22.320
That could be
1776
01:14:23.440 --> 01:14:24.820
could be Willow.
1777
01:14:24.940 --> 01:14:26.660
It could be any number of people.
1778
01:14:28.300 --> 01:14:29.960
Mercedes. Yeah.
1779
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:32.300
And maybe you get Tecla versus Mercedes
1780
01:14:32.300 --> 01:14:33.700
at all in.
1781
01:14:34.460 --> 01:14:36.060
How fucking cool would that be?
1782
01:14:37.740 --> 01:14:38.580
Yeah, I think Tecla
1783
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:40.460
to echo
1784
01:14:40.460 --> 01:14:42.280
one guy here. I mean, Tecla is a revelation
1785
01:14:42.280 --> 01:14:44.340
has been amazing. Yeah.
1786
01:14:44.620 --> 01:14:45.920
I mean, she is
1787
01:14:46.460 --> 01:14:48.680
she is so ready for where she's at.
1788
01:14:48.980 --> 01:14:50.400
Like she was so she walked
1789
01:14:50.400 --> 01:14:52.520
in ready. And
1790
01:14:53.240 --> 01:14:54.480
yeah, the way she carries
1791
01:14:54.480 --> 01:14:56.600
herself, you know, I always call her the five foot
1792
01:14:56.600 --> 01:14:58.600
giant because she is she carries
1793
01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:00.520
herself like she's fifteen
1794
01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:00.780
feet.
1795
01:15:02.100 --> 01:15:04.680
She carries herself like she's Megan Bain type.
1796
01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:05.880
Yeah, exactly.
1797
01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:08.520
Exactly. Like and to their
1798
01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:10.420
credit, you know, Jamie Hader really sold
1799
01:15:10.420 --> 01:15:13.040
for her when they wrestled and it
1800
01:15:13.040 --> 01:15:14.540
made it gave her a lot of
1801
01:15:14.540 --> 01:15:16.540
credibility. I do think Tecla actually lays
1802
01:15:16.540 --> 01:15:18.140
her shit in pretty good, too.
1803
01:15:18.400 --> 01:15:20.360
So you don't really have a choice of selling
1804
01:15:20.360 --> 01:15:21.380
for her because it hurt.
1805
01:15:22.120 --> 01:15:22.140
Yeah.
1806
01:15:26.320 --> 01:15:28.100
BlurrryLine says Tecla's promos have been awesome.
1807
01:15:28.140 --> 01:15:30.340
I feel sad that the live crowd doesn't seem to treat her
1808
01:15:30.340 --> 01:15:31.580
like the online crowd does.
1809
01:15:32.140 --> 01:15:33.480
It just takes time.
1810
01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:36.260
I think, you know, people are still learning who Tecla
1811
01:15:36.260 --> 01:15:37.820
is when she has a live mic
1812
01:15:37.820 --> 01:15:40.080
and that's that's all it is. But
1813
01:15:40.080 --> 01:15:41.480
I think they're going.
1814
01:15:42.140 --> 01:15:44.280
She's, you know, still when
1815
01:15:44.280 --> 01:15:45.600
she said to Thunderosa
1816
01:15:46.260 --> 01:15:48.380
and the stupidest or the
1817
01:15:48.380 --> 01:15:50.280
dumbest bitch alive.
1818
01:15:50.600 --> 01:15:52.460
Like that's legendary.
1819
01:15:52.780 --> 01:15:54.160
That's like legendary shit
1820
01:15:54.160 --> 01:15:56.100
in my mind. Legendary.
1821
01:15:56.260 --> 01:15:58.180
Yeah, I think Tecla wins and three falls probably
1822
01:15:58.180 --> 01:16:00.260
by cheating, but I'm totally fine with that.
1823
01:16:01.220 --> 01:16:01.780
Yeah.
1824
01:16:02.260 --> 01:16:04.420
All right. She's a heel. She can't beat.
1825
01:16:04.420 --> 01:16:06.440
Heels are supposed to cheat. That's what they do.
1826
01:16:06.500 --> 01:16:07.120
That's what you do.
1827
01:16:08.660 --> 01:16:10.560
Okay, books. We're here.
1828
01:16:12.500 --> 01:16:14.780
Hangman page versus MJF after the
1829
01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:16.600
greatest segment
1830
01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:18.000
of all time last night.
1831
01:16:20.220 --> 01:16:21.940
The press conference.
1832
01:16:22.840 --> 01:16:24.480
I'm going to say they have
1833
01:16:24.480 --> 01:16:26.560
done a great job building this match.
1834
01:16:26.800 --> 01:16:28.460
I don't think I didn't think
1835
01:16:28.460 --> 01:16:30.400
I'd really care that much about an MJF
1836
01:16:30.400 --> 01:16:32.760
versus Hangman match because they had two of them
1837
01:16:32.760 --> 01:16:34.500
like within the last year
1838
01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:36.640
on pay-per-view no less.
1839
01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:38.660
But they've added
1840
01:16:38.660 --> 01:16:40.720
so many stakes to
1841
01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:42.620
this match and the promos have been
1842
01:16:42.620 --> 01:16:43.500
so good.
1843
01:16:44.540 --> 01:16:46.660
The entire future of not only
1844
01:16:46.660 --> 01:16:48.620
Hangman but AEW kind of feels like it
1845
01:16:48.620 --> 01:16:49.640
hangs in the balance.
1846
01:16:50.360 --> 01:16:52.540
And in kayfabe and to a lesser degree
1847
01:16:52.540 --> 01:16:53.780
even in real life.
1848
01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:56.320
And I feel that way
1849
01:16:56.320 --> 01:16:57.280
because
1850
01:16:58.420 --> 01:16:59.900
if Tony Khan
1851
01:16:59.900 --> 01:17:01.560
is insane
1852
01:17:01.560 --> 01:17:04.580
and wants to make the biggest gamble of his life
1853
01:17:05.460 --> 01:17:07.880
having Hangman lose and lose the
1854
01:17:07.880 --> 01:17:09.720
right to challenge ever again for the
1855
01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:14.320
AEW title is
1856
01:17:15.660 --> 01:17:17.160
like you are risking
1857
01:17:17.160 --> 01:17:19.240
all the progress with the fan base that you've made.
1858
01:17:19.420 --> 01:17:21.400
Hangman just won this title
1859
01:17:21.400 --> 01:17:23.300
at all in.
1860
01:17:23.940 --> 01:17:25.160
In the biggest storyline
1861
01:17:25.160 --> 01:17:27.450
payoff ever in AEW history.
1862
01:17:29.200 --> 01:17:30.960
Having him lose feels crazy to me.
1863
01:17:32.660 --> 01:17:35.000
And yet I see ways
1864
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:35.740
they could do it.
1865
01:17:36.820 --> 01:17:37.640
What do you think?
1866
01:17:40.300 --> 01:17:41.980
I still hate this stipulation.
1867
01:17:43.060 --> 01:17:44.720
And I'm still very mad.
1868
01:17:45.500 --> 01:17:46.960
And if Hangman loses
1869
01:17:46.960 --> 01:17:48.920
I may boycott for a week.
1870
01:17:49.300 --> 01:17:51.140
Because I hate this stipulation.
1871
01:17:51.220 --> 01:17:52.900
I think that's a very real possibility.
1872
01:17:53.240 --> 01:17:54.720
That's a very real
1873
01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:56.280
possibility. Now
1874
01:17:57.220 --> 01:17:58.540
with that said
1875
01:18:01.420 --> 01:18:03.960
we are all going to be clenching
1876
01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:05.460
so tight watching this match.
1877
01:18:06.440 --> 01:18:07.640
I honestly may
1878
01:18:07.640 --> 01:18:08.940
walk out of the room for this one.
1879
01:18:09.100 --> 01:18:10.420
I don't know if I could watch.
1880
01:18:10.900 --> 01:18:13.640
I'm not joking when I say I fucking hate
1881
01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:14.440
this stipulation.
1882
01:18:15.100 --> 01:18:17.500
I see ways out of it.
1883
01:18:18.080 --> 01:18:19.540
Don't get me wrong. I don't think they're
1884
01:18:19.540 --> 01:18:21.020
going to fucking Cody this.
1885
01:18:23.260 --> 01:18:23.620
But
1886
01:18:23.620 --> 01:18:25.660
Cody destroyed
1887
01:18:25.660 --> 01:18:27.600
any good faith I have in this
1888
01:18:28.340 --> 01:18:29.540
stipulation because he
1889
01:18:29.540 --> 01:18:30.640
fucking Cody'd it.
1890
01:18:32.100 --> 01:18:33.140
That I just
1891
01:18:33.700 --> 01:18:35.120
any way I see out of it
1892
01:18:35.120 --> 01:18:37.240
I'm just it's my glass is half
1893
01:18:37.240 --> 01:18:38.440
empty instead of half full.
1894
01:18:41.120 --> 01:18:41.560
So
1895
01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:43.380
Blurry Line 7, I think Hangman loses
1896
01:18:43.380 --> 01:18:45.040
the crowd if he loses. I agree.
1897
01:18:45.360 --> 01:18:46.700
And I think A.W.
1898
01:18:46.700 --> 01:18:48.420
It's going to be the worst thing.
1899
01:18:48.420 --> 01:18:50.900
It's going to be the worst thing for the company
1900
01:18:50.900 --> 01:18:52.500
right now. He
1901
01:18:52.500 --> 01:18:54.720
first of all he's like on a fucking on one
1902
01:18:54.720 --> 01:18:56.960
constantly yelling at HBO for
1903
01:18:56.960 --> 01:18:59.240
ice ads. And
1904
01:19:00.860 --> 01:19:01.460
like
1905
01:19:03.180 --> 01:19:05.740
He is the main character of A.W.
1906
01:19:06.160 --> 01:19:07.740
When you think of A.W.
1907
01:19:07.860 --> 01:19:09.320
a lot of people think of Hangman
1908
01:19:09.320 --> 01:19:11.500
and he brought in good
1909
01:19:11.500 --> 01:19:13.700
ratings. He brought in attendance
1910
01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:15.720
that entire
1911
01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:17.400
arc of his last year
1912
01:19:17.860 --> 01:19:19.260
brought people back.
1913
01:19:19.740 --> 01:19:21.500
You know like that's what got people
1914
01:19:21.500 --> 01:19:23.200
talking about A.W. again.
1915
01:19:24.100 --> 01:19:25.440
The show was improving before that
1916
01:19:25.440 --> 01:19:27.260
story started. But
1917
01:19:27.260 --> 01:19:29.520
it really picked up steam after he
1918
01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:31.140
became Moxley's heir apparent
1919
01:19:32.460 --> 01:19:32.900
challenger.
1920
01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:35.460
But Blurry Line makes a great point
1921
01:19:35.460 --> 01:19:37.340
that he would lose the crowd because from
1922
01:19:37.340 --> 01:19:39.200
a character standpoint he did this to himself
1923
01:19:39.200 --> 01:19:40.480
for no reason.
1924
01:19:42.020 --> 01:19:43.260
There was no reason for this
1925
01:19:43.260 --> 01:19:45.340
deflation. Right. Right.
1926
01:19:45.660 --> 01:19:47.420
Other than to get MJF to
1927
01:19:47.420 --> 01:19:49.300
do a Texas death match.
1928
01:19:50.180 --> 01:19:50.900
Len Gott
1929
01:19:50.900 --> 01:19:53.240
says MJF is in too deep this time. Last
1930
01:19:53.240 --> 01:19:55.280
March he broke down when he couldn't keep Page down.
1931
01:19:55.280 --> 01:19:57.600
Page is a whole other demon when it's Texas
1932
01:19:57.600 --> 01:19:59.400
death. His track record speaks
1933
01:19:59.400 --> 01:20:01.660
for itself here and Page will win.
1934
01:20:02.920 --> 01:20:03.400
So let
1935
01:20:03.400 --> 01:20:04.780
me give you
1936
01:20:07.440 --> 01:20:08.440
the macabre
1937
01:20:08.440 --> 01:20:09.420
terrible version
1938
01:20:09.420 --> 01:20:10.360
of this ending.
1939
01:20:13.120 --> 01:20:13.620
Swerve
1940
01:20:13.620 --> 01:20:14.260
Strickland
1941
01:20:15.160 --> 01:20:17.360
because he's all business and all about himself
1942
01:20:17.360 --> 01:20:19.400
now. Sees
1943
01:20:19.400 --> 01:20:21.100
this as a practical means to an end.
1944
01:20:21.700 --> 01:20:23.510
You get rid of Hangman and he'll take the
1945
01:20:23.510 --> 01:20:25.510
rest off MJF. And then Hangman can't
1946
01:20:25.510 --> 01:20:28.870
challenge him. Well I wonder
1947
01:20:28.870 --> 01:20:30.790
if that's an out.
1948
01:20:31.610 --> 01:20:32.330
If Swerve
1949
01:20:33.630 --> 01:20:34.670
interferes and
1950
01:20:34.670 --> 01:20:36.610
Hangman didn't lose cleanly. It's
1951
01:20:36.610 --> 01:20:38.330
Texas death. If that's an out.
1952
01:20:38.370 --> 01:20:40.130
It's Texas death. It's true. It's a Texas death.
1953
01:20:40.210 --> 01:20:42.290
No DQ. No. They're fucking coding this.
1954
01:20:42.530 --> 01:20:43.650
They're coding this.
1955
01:20:45.070 --> 01:20:46.690
See? Anyway I see out
1956
01:20:46.690 --> 01:20:47.790
it's gonna be coding.
1957
01:20:48.710 --> 01:20:50.790
The only thing they could do
1958
01:20:51.910 --> 01:20:52.570
to up
1959
01:20:52.570 --> 01:20:54.990
the stakes even more for Hangman to lose.
1960
01:20:55.150 --> 01:20:56.730
And I'm just talking possibilities.
1961
01:20:56.790 --> 01:20:58.910
I don't know. At all.
1962
01:20:59.070 --> 01:21:00.150
I don't have a strong feeling.
1963
01:21:01.030 --> 01:21:02.070
One way or the other.
1964
01:21:04.890 --> 01:21:06.510
Kevin Knight turns on Hangman
1965
01:21:06.510 --> 01:21:08.870
to help Swerve cost him the match.
1966
01:21:10.890 --> 01:21:11.490
And
1967
01:21:11.490 --> 01:21:12.770
these two
1968
01:21:12.770 --> 01:21:14.890
like join like infamy
1969
01:21:14.890 --> 01:21:15.550
forever.
1970
01:21:17.630 --> 01:21:18.830
Like permaheal.
1971
01:21:18.970 --> 01:21:20.570
Like you never recover from that.
1972
01:21:21.530 --> 01:21:22.830
You know it also is gonna happen
1973
01:21:22.830 --> 01:21:23.830
if Hangman loses.
1974
01:21:25.450 --> 01:21:27.050
Hangman to WWE
1975
01:21:27.050 --> 01:21:27.690
confirmed.
1976
01:21:28.130 --> 01:21:30.490
Oh my god. Oh my god.
1977
01:21:32.530 --> 01:21:32.970
You know the more
1978
01:21:32.970 --> 01:21:34.550
you talk the more I'm like there is.
1979
01:21:35.170 --> 01:21:36.650
I know. I know. I know.
1980
01:21:36.750 --> 01:21:38.290
Hangman is not gonna go to WWE.
1981
01:21:38.330 --> 01:21:40.510
He is way too
1982
01:21:40.510 --> 01:21:42.610
left leaning to go work for
1983
01:21:42.610 --> 01:21:44.730
World Mega Entertainment. Also he likes his children.
1984
01:21:45.170 --> 01:21:47.250
Like there's no fucking way he's gonna do that.
1985
01:21:48.050 --> 01:21:48.550
But
1986
01:21:49.350 --> 01:21:50.850
oh my god. It's gonna be
1987
01:21:50.850 --> 01:21:52.170
so fucking annoying if he loses.
1988
01:21:52.970 --> 01:21:55.050
Don't be surprised if he loses if I'm not on the
1989
01:21:55.050 --> 01:21:56.990
internet for a week because I am not gonna deal with the fucking
1990
01:21:56.990 --> 01:21:57.730
vid cells.
1991
01:22:00.130 --> 01:22:02.050
Blurryline7 I think of the step was can't challenge
1992
01:22:02.050 --> 01:22:04.410
Wylst MJF as champion. It would have gone down
1993
01:22:04.410 --> 01:22:05.930
better in case you couldn't tell.
1994
01:22:05.930 --> 01:22:07.270
The Blurryline is from the UK.
1995
01:22:08.110 --> 01:22:09.590
He said Wylst.
1996
01:22:09.830 --> 01:22:11.690
But they made it very clear this is not what's happening.
1997
01:22:11.950 --> 01:22:12.390
They did that.
1998
01:22:14.870 --> 01:22:16.430
Like you could have easily saw
1999
01:22:16.430 --> 01:22:17.070
the out.
2000
01:22:18.950 --> 01:22:20.190
Because it's no
2001
01:22:21.250 --> 01:22:22.630
majority of fans did not
2002
01:22:22.630 --> 01:22:24.550
like this. And then you go and
2003
01:22:24.550 --> 01:22:25.890
double down on it.
2004
01:22:26.550 --> 01:22:28.190
Lengott says here's one. What if Swerve
2005
01:22:28.190 --> 01:22:30.410
corrupts Paige to the point where Paige not only
2006
01:22:30.410 --> 01:22:32.230
regains the title but does it in a way that
2007
01:22:32.230 --> 01:22:34.350
actually has fans feeling bad for MJF.
2008
01:22:34.710 --> 01:22:36.530
Paige gets the title MJF
2009
01:22:36.530 --> 01:22:38.270
gets fans like turns baby face.
2010
01:22:39.790 --> 01:22:40.710
I'm not
2011
01:22:41.850 --> 01:22:42.310
sure
2012
01:22:43.650 --> 01:22:44.570
if that's
2013
01:22:44.570 --> 01:22:46.070
possible. But I can also see.
2014
01:22:46.690 --> 01:22:48.410
No I can see that because don't forget
2015
01:22:48.410 --> 01:22:50.710
MJF was getting close to baby face with everything
2016
01:22:50.710 --> 01:22:51.990
with Adam Cole.
2017
01:22:52.190 --> 01:22:54.550
That's true. But then
2018
01:22:54.550 --> 01:22:56.170
you're like turning
2019
01:22:56.170 --> 01:22:58.590
your two top baby faces
2020
01:22:58.590 --> 01:22:59.030
heel.
2021
01:23:03.410 --> 01:23:05.470
It's better. It's more fun being a heel.
2022
01:23:07.490 --> 01:23:09.130
Because these two are mirror images
2023
01:23:09.130 --> 01:23:10.670
of the other to a point.
2024
01:23:11.110 --> 01:23:12.910
Paige has the fans not the resume. MJF
2025
01:23:12.910 --> 01:23:14.330
has a resume and not the fans.
2026
01:23:14.770 --> 01:23:16.990
MJF wants the fans to love him the way
2027
01:23:16.990 --> 01:23:18.830
they love Paige. Very true.
2028
01:23:18.830 --> 01:23:21.190
I can also see MJF
2029
01:23:21.190 --> 01:23:23.150
paying someone to have himself
2030
01:23:23.150 --> 01:23:27.770
loose. How do you Cody
2031
01:23:27.770 --> 01:23:29.330
something? Is it a weird sex act?
2032
01:23:29.370 --> 01:23:31.250
Tony? No.
2033
01:23:31.830 --> 01:23:32.610
It's not.
2034
01:23:33.550 --> 01:23:35.730
My cousin everybody. All right.
2035
01:23:36.510 --> 01:23:37.110
So
2036
01:23:38.310 --> 01:23:39.770
I think it's too big
2037
01:23:39.770 --> 01:23:41.830
a gamble for Tony Khan to take
2038
01:23:42.710 --> 01:23:43.910
and end this
2039
01:23:43.910 --> 01:23:44.870
like
2040
01:23:46.750 --> 01:23:48.010
Return of the Jedi
2041
01:23:48.010 --> 01:23:48.790
like fucking
2042
01:23:48.790 --> 01:23:51.530
or not Return of the Jedi like the Empire Strikes Back
2043
01:23:51.530 --> 01:23:52.890
like the darkest
2044
01:23:53.950 --> 01:23:55.370
most horrific ending
2045
01:23:55.990 --> 01:23:57.450
and let that just hang
2046
01:23:57.450 --> 01:23:58.130
till Wednesday.
2047
01:23:59.310 --> 01:24:01.150
I just can't see him doing it.
2048
01:24:01.810 --> 01:24:02.910
I can't. I can't.
2049
01:24:03.210 --> 01:24:05.330
There's too much goodwill right now.
2050
01:24:06.230 --> 01:24:07.530
And hangman losing will destroy
2051
01:24:07.530 --> 01:24:09.230
the goodwill. I think so.
2052
01:24:09.390 --> 01:24:11.350
You have way too many new fans
2053
01:24:11.350 --> 01:24:13.350
coming in and like I love
2054
01:24:13.350 --> 01:24:14.930
that they're not necessarily catering
2055
01:24:15.710 --> 01:24:17.530
to the new fans like
2056
01:24:17.530 --> 01:24:19.050
the way they were in like say
2057
01:24:19.050 --> 01:24:19.750
2023.
2058
01:24:21.310 --> 01:24:23.330
But they are trying to appeal
2059
01:24:23.330 --> 01:24:25.290
to the newer fans and
2060
01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:28.360
having your like
2061
01:24:28.820 --> 01:24:30.780
I don't want to say John Cena because hangman
2062
01:24:30.780 --> 01:24:32.580
is better than John. No, he's
2063
01:24:32.580 --> 01:24:34.680
I can't. I can't even say those words because it's John
2064
01:24:34.680 --> 01:24:36.880
Cena and hangman. They're two different
2065
01:24:36.880 --> 01:24:38.700
creatures. But you have your version
2066
01:24:38.700 --> 01:24:40.240
of John Cena, right? Yeah.
2067
01:24:40.580 --> 01:24:42.800
You're not going to have him lose like that.
2068
01:24:42.820 --> 01:24:44.440
He's the he's the
2069
01:24:44.980 --> 01:24:46.840
gray-hatted hero. You know what I mean?
2070
01:24:46.840 --> 01:24:48.380
Like he's smart
2071
01:24:48.380 --> 01:24:50.840
and he's also
2072
01:24:52.060 --> 01:24:53.050
fallible and
2073
01:24:53.700 --> 01:24:54.600
and he's
2074
01:24:54.600 --> 01:24:56.600
fucked up. But he's also
2075
01:24:56.600 --> 01:24:58.420
the most
2076
01:24:58.420 --> 01:25:00.840
he's got more integrity than everybody else.
2077
01:25:01.020 --> 01:25:02.880
You know, yeah, that's why I can
2078
01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:04.620
see MJF doing something shady
2079
01:25:06.570 --> 01:25:08.890
to ensure hangman
2080
01:25:08.890 --> 01:25:10.930
might win making MJF
2081
01:25:10.930 --> 01:25:12.710
sympathetic and getting the fans
2082
01:25:12.710 --> 01:25:14.490
which I think long term story wise.
2083
01:25:14.510 --> 01:25:16.650
That could be an interesting story.
2084
01:25:16.650 --> 01:25:18.770
Larry Lyons says I genuinely think
2085
01:25:18.770 --> 01:25:20.710
hangman having the Cody step is the dumbest
2086
01:25:20.710 --> 01:25:22.670
possible decision. It makes the fans think of
2087
01:25:22.670 --> 01:25:24.190
Cody who they chose to reject.
2088
01:25:25.110 --> 01:25:26.570
I have a counterpoint to you there.
2089
01:25:27.150 --> 01:25:28.750
That's a great point.
2090
01:25:29.550 --> 01:25:30.670
And that
2091
01:25:30.670 --> 01:25:32.430
could be correct. However,
2092
01:25:33.190 --> 01:25:34.270
Cody did lose.
2093
01:25:34.790 --> 01:25:36.590
So it puts the outcome
2094
01:25:36.590 --> 01:25:38.830
in some doubt, right? Like serious
2095
01:25:38.830 --> 01:25:40.710
doubt because they
2096
01:25:40.710 --> 01:25:42.790
did this once before and it was
2097
01:25:42.790 --> 01:25:44.390
almost certainly a huge mistake.
2098
01:25:46.210 --> 01:25:46.650
And
2099
01:25:46.650 --> 01:25:48.550
this is almost like Tony
2100
01:25:48.550 --> 01:25:50.550
Khan taking a page out of Vince
2101
01:25:50.550 --> 01:25:52.230
McMahon's book because
2102
01:25:52.230 --> 01:25:54.630
the last like 15 years of Vince
2103
01:25:54.630 --> 01:25:56.430
McMahon's booking was like
2104
01:25:56.430 --> 01:25:58.530
do you think we'll do the dumbest thing we could
2105
01:25:58.530 --> 01:26:00.110
possibly do? Do you
2106
01:26:00.110 --> 01:26:02.430
think we'll do it? You got to pay money to find
2107
01:26:02.430 --> 01:26:04.310
out. And then people would go
2108
01:26:04.310 --> 01:26:06.390
here's your money. I hope you don't
2109
01:26:06.390 --> 01:26:08.530
do the dumb thing. And then they would do the dumb
2110
01:26:08.530 --> 01:26:09.950
thing, right?
2111
01:26:10.970 --> 01:26:12.770
And this is like
2112
01:26:12.770 --> 01:26:14.950
Tony's built up so much goodwill the last two
2113
01:26:14.950 --> 01:26:15.590
years.
2114
01:26:16.730 --> 01:26:18.590
He wouldn't possibly do this, right?
2115
01:26:20.110 --> 01:26:20.850
I would hope so
2116
01:26:20.850 --> 01:26:22.890
because I will, if Hangman loses
2117
01:26:23.490 --> 01:26:24.550
I'm not joking.
2118
01:26:25.050 --> 01:26:26.570
I will ask for a refund
2119
01:26:27.950 --> 01:26:28.390
because...
2120
01:26:28.390 --> 01:26:30.750
TK doesn't have the type of buy-in
2121
01:26:30.750 --> 01:26:32.710
from the media to have Paige lose and not get
2122
01:26:32.710 --> 01:26:34.770
torn to shreds for it. Fans may revolt in a
2123
01:26:34.770 --> 01:26:36.670
big way. I also think Paige regaining
2124
01:26:36.670 --> 01:26:38.550
the title but uncomfortably works.
2125
01:26:39.270 --> 01:26:40.790
The stipulation is one thing, but the
2126
01:26:40.790 --> 01:26:42.750
match is literally Paige's specialty because Paige
2127
01:26:42.750 --> 01:26:44.610
has only lost one Texas death match.
2128
01:26:44.830 --> 01:26:46.810
And that's a Brian Cage helping Swerve to make
2129
01:26:46.810 --> 01:26:47.430
it happen.
2130
01:26:49.150 --> 01:26:50.830
That's a really good point,
2131
01:26:50.990 --> 01:26:52.830
my god. That's a really good point.
2132
01:26:54.490 --> 01:26:54.930
Blurry line.
2133
01:26:54.990 --> 01:26:56.730
I will counter your counterpoint by saying that
2134
01:26:56.730 --> 01:26:58.610
taking one of your worst booking decisions
2135
01:26:58.610 --> 01:27:00.710
and saying I might do it again, just watch me
2136
01:27:00.710 --> 01:27:02.590
is not a good pay-per-view sales pitch
2137
01:27:02.590 --> 01:27:04.230
even though I am excited.
2138
01:27:05.650 --> 01:27:06.850
That's what I'm saying. That was
2139
01:27:06.850 --> 01:27:08.090
the classic Vince thing.
2140
01:27:09.130 --> 01:27:10.410
I'm not joking.
2141
01:27:11.390 --> 01:27:12.270
I have debated
2142
01:27:12.650 --> 01:27:14.810
whether I still have not bought this pay-per-view
2143
01:27:14.810 --> 01:27:16.430
because that's how much I hate this fucking
2144
01:27:16.430 --> 01:27:18.590
stipulation. And I'm like,
2145
01:27:19.110 --> 01:27:20.430
do I really want to watch it live?
2146
01:27:20.810 --> 01:27:22.390
Because that's how much I fucking hate
2147
01:27:22.390 --> 01:27:24.550
this stipulation. This is what
2148
01:27:24.550 --> 01:27:26.410
Tony Khan has done. I am the biggest
2149
01:27:26.410 --> 01:27:28.350
AEW shill. I am the biggest
2150
01:27:28.350 --> 01:27:29.810
AEW mark. And I'm like,
2151
01:27:30.110 --> 01:27:31.710
you've pissed me off too much.
2152
01:27:32.190 --> 01:27:33.450
You're lucky there's other good matches.
2153
01:27:34.070 --> 01:27:36.770
So I'm 99.9% going to
2154
01:27:36.770 --> 01:27:38.770
buy it. But I'm going to wait till fucking
2155
01:27:40.730 --> 01:27:41.210
903
2156
01:27:41.210 --> 01:27:42.370
Sunday morning.
2157
01:27:43.030 --> 01:27:44.750
Well, I bought it. I bought it.
2158
01:27:44.750 --> 01:27:46.670
I was excited to buy it. I think
2159
01:27:46.670 --> 01:27:48.770
the show is going to be fantastic.
2160
01:27:49.890 --> 01:27:50.750
I think.
2161
01:27:52.650 --> 01:27:54.850
No, it is. It's going to be really good.
2162
01:27:55.150 --> 01:27:56.370
Books, you can testify to
2163
01:27:56.370 --> 01:27:58.110
what I wrote down for my prediction.
2164
01:27:59.450 --> 01:28:00.070
I've changed
2165
01:28:00.070 --> 01:28:02.110
my mind. You guys have changed my mind.
2166
01:28:02.130 --> 01:28:04.150
I actually had Swerve costing Hangman.
2167
01:28:04.390 --> 01:28:06.270
Just so everyone you know, he wrote
2168
01:28:06.270 --> 01:28:08.470
that Hangman was going to lose.
2169
01:28:09.330 --> 01:28:10.870
Because he hates
2170
01:28:11.410 --> 01:28:11.890
me.
2171
01:28:12.210 --> 01:28:14.070
No, I don't. I don't. I don't hate you.
2172
01:28:14.590 --> 01:28:16.490
I think I hate
2173
01:28:16.490 --> 01:28:18.030
myself. And that was
2174
01:28:18.610 --> 01:28:20.330
I think I only deserve
2175
01:28:20.330 --> 01:28:22.490
suffering and pain. The Scare Glow,
2176
01:28:22.610 --> 01:28:24.270
I think Tony is rewriting a past mistake.
2177
01:28:24.490 --> 01:28:25.850
I think that might be true.
2178
01:28:25.950 --> 01:28:28.110
I think so too. I think having
2179
01:28:28.110 --> 01:28:30.510
Hangman win is. And because Cody lost,
2180
01:28:30.690 --> 01:28:32.610
it's believable to think somebody else might lose.
2181
01:28:32.810 --> 01:28:34.390
And MJF was involved in that one
2182
01:28:34.390 --> 01:28:36.790
as well. If you recall, he threw in the towel,
2183
01:28:36.790 --> 01:28:38.610
right? And then he kicked Cody in the balls.
2184
01:28:40.010 --> 01:28:40.370
So
2185
01:28:40.370 --> 01:28:42.290
that was a good moment, though. I mean,
2186
01:28:42.390 --> 01:28:44.490
that was MJF's true like heel turn.
2187
01:28:45.050 --> 01:28:46.310
So like where he
2188
01:28:46.310 --> 01:28:47.550
revealed himself to be a heel.
2189
01:28:48.330 --> 01:28:50.310
I will say that if
2190
01:28:50.310 --> 01:28:52.510
Cody didn't go on and whine about that decision
2191
01:28:52.510 --> 01:28:54.330
for the last, I don't know, five, six
2192
01:28:54.330 --> 01:28:56.330
years, however long it's been, I probably wouldn't
2193
01:28:56.330 --> 01:28:58.130
hate it as much.
2194
01:28:58.510 --> 01:29:00.370
But Cody made it his personality.
2195
01:29:01.830 --> 01:29:02.450
I agree
2196
01:29:02.450 --> 01:29:04.070
with you, Len Gott. There's only been one
2197
01:29:04.070 --> 01:29:06.270
AEW pay-per-view where it ended, and I can say
2198
01:29:06.270 --> 01:29:08.070
I was glad I didn't order it. That was Full Gear
2199
01:29:08.070 --> 01:29:10.230
2023 where Jay lost to MJF.
2200
01:29:10.350 --> 01:29:12.490
I trust TK did not screw this
2201
01:29:12.490 --> 01:29:14.530
up to an indefensible degree. I
2202
01:29:14.530 --> 01:29:16.350
agree as well. I don't think he will.
2203
01:29:17.170 --> 01:29:18.670
I think you guys have convinced
2204
01:29:18.670 --> 01:29:20.230
me Hangman is going to win, and that honestly
2205
01:29:20.230 --> 01:29:22.310
makes me feel better because I just
2206
01:29:22.310 --> 01:29:24.470
I don't think this guy should
2207
01:29:24.470 --> 01:29:25.690
have this hanging over him
2208
01:29:26.190 --> 01:29:27.410
the rest of his career.
2209
01:29:28.250 --> 01:29:30.570
I just don't think it's wise from a booking
2210
01:29:30.570 --> 01:29:31.230
perspective.
2211
01:29:32.730 --> 01:29:34.470
He's still young enough
2212
01:29:36.490 --> 01:29:38.470
that you should not have
2213
01:29:38.470 --> 01:29:39.090
someone
2214
01:29:40.310 --> 01:29:42.030
that you are
2215
01:29:42.030 --> 01:29:44.290
skyrocketing to the, like, who is literally
2216
01:29:44.290 --> 01:29:46.110
the top of your men's division
2217
01:29:46.970 --> 01:29:48.410
to never challenge
2218
01:29:48.410 --> 01:29:50.290
again. This is not
2219
01:29:50.290 --> 01:29:51.990
Hangman's last contract, you know
2220
01:29:51.990 --> 01:29:54.110
what I mean? Like, he's only 34 years
2221
01:29:54.110 --> 01:29:56.110
old. His butts may
2222
01:29:56.110 --> 01:29:58.010
be out, but he's 10 years younger than
2223
01:29:58.010 --> 01:29:59.930
his friends. Right, right. He's
2224
01:29:59.930 --> 01:30:01.750
practically 10 years younger than Kenny Omega.
2225
01:30:02.250 --> 01:30:03.970
So, like, he's going to
2226
01:30:03.970 --> 01:30:05.450
be around, you know?
2227
01:30:05.890 --> 01:30:08.250
Yeah, he has another 10 years. Like, I mean
2228
01:30:08.250 --> 01:30:09.790
And maybe that maybe we get
2229
01:30:09.790 --> 01:30:12.010
Swerve and Hangman at all
2230
01:30:12.010 --> 01:30:13.850
in, you know, and maybe that's
2231
01:30:13.850 --> 01:30:15.810
they do it again and Hangman
2232
01:30:15.810 --> 01:30:18.010
finally beats Swerve, you know?
2233
01:30:18.010 --> 01:30:19.910
Yeah. Who knows? And then Ospreay comes
2234
01:30:19.910 --> 01:30:20.630
in.
2235
01:30:23.400 --> 01:30:25.840
All right. Well, guys, this has been
2236
01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:27.800
the show. Till next
2237
01:30:27.800 --> 01:30:30.300
time. Till, so on Monday
2238
01:30:31.540 --> 01:30:33.600
Professor Degree, K-Fape K and I
2239
01:30:33.600 --> 01:30:35.240
will be recording a review
2240
01:30:35.240 --> 01:30:37.480
of this show. Hopefully we won't be crying.
2241
01:30:37.560 --> 01:30:39.480
K-Fape K is going to be
2242
01:30:39.480 --> 01:30:41.380
at the show live.
2243
01:30:41.720 --> 01:30:43.300
I have her first.
2244
01:30:43.900 --> 01:30:45.580
I know. She's going
2245
01:30:45.580 --> 01:30:46.880
to be on books and books
2246
01:30:46.880 --> 01:30:49.520
on books and Becks next. I was telling her, you
2247
01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:51.180
just getting around. You just
2248
01:30:51.180 --> 01:30:53.480
you know, name ID just
2249
01:30:53.480 --> 01:30:54.000
exploding.
2250
01:30:55.300 --> 01:30:57.440
If you don't know who K-Fape K is, she makes
2251
01:30:57.440 --> 01:30:59.520
awesome pro-wrestling themed
2252
01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:01.080
nails, press on nails.
2253
01:31:01.760 --> 01:31:03.560
She's also the co-leader
2254
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:05.540
of the Church of Omega. That's
2255
01:31:05.540 --> 01:31:07.520
yes. Yes, she is. She is
2256
01:31:09.060 --> 01:31:09.540
way
2257
01:31:09.540 --> 01:31:11.300
into Kenny. Okay. So
2258
01:31:11.300 --> 01:31:13.560
till next time. You just wish you were
2259
01:31:13.560 --> 01:31:15.480
part of this church in a position
2260
01:31:15.480 --> 01:31:17.720
of leadership. I do.
2261
01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:18.980
I do. You're right.
2262
01:31:19.560 --> 01:31:21.500
You're right. I do. I do. I do worship
2263
01:31:21.500 --> 01:31:23.060
at the ground Kenny walks on. That is true.
2264
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:25.520
Okay. Well, if
2265
01:31:25.520 --> 01:31:27.520
you just, if you just owned on, we
2266
01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:29.760
can talk. Okay, come on. Can't do that.
2267
01:31:29.900 --> 01:31:30.700
Don, I love you, bud.
2268
01:31:31.520 --> 01:31:33.660
Love you, man. Congratulations on whatever happens
2269
01:31:33.660 --> 01:31:37.290

01:31:37.290 --> 01:31:39.190
