WEBVTT

1
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.400
It's Tuesday night. You know what
that means. It's time for Nisson with

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:13.119
aw Fanha. This is Kelson and
this is Alex and yeah, let's get

3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.519
right into the talk. We have
some more folks with us today that will

4
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:22.960
be introducing shortly, but I want
to start things off with talking about Collision.

5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.679
We did not have a Collision last
week, so this week was by

6
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:39.560
default better than the last episode.
Yeah, yeah, better rating just mathematically.

7
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.079
So yeah, I think you know, we had talked about a few

8
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.920
things. I think Kelson, you
said you're gonna sleep or not watch Brian

9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.880
Danielson versus Junakiyama. I thought this
match of the you know, different older

10
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:03.560
Japanese guys that they brought in,
Eugenagatta, uh, even Mineral Suzuki,

11
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:10.680
I thought Ju Nakiyama was kind of
my favorite of of the Japanese wrestlers that

12
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.719
they brought in, and I thought
him and Brian Danielson put on a really

13
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:18.040
great match and it had a really
great ending. In my opinion, that

14
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.480
made me a lot more excited for
Eddie Kingston versus Brian Danielson than I was

15
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.359
going into Collision. Well, you're
saying Akayama was not just a grandpa.

16
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.439
He was a great grandpa. Oh
God, that was bad that that just

17
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.319
didn't sound good. It sounded good
when I thought of it, but it

18
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.959
didn't sound good what I said,
Well, what's the opposite? He was

19
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:49.680
like a father? He was he
was a father moving back in age because

20
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.920
ju Nakaiyami, he he moves like
a guy that hasn't had a lot of

21
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:04.200
issues, like like when Minoral Suzuki's
moving around or yuj Nagada, like they

22
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.360
seem like old guys. And I
thought like Junakayama seemed kind of limberate.

23
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:13.680
He was moving quick, so that
was kind of a nice change. Yeah,

24
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.719
okay, yeah, yeah. Anyone
else want to chime in on this

25
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.800
match? Sutton, You're here with
us tonight and I'm wondering what you thought

26
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.879
about it. I thought it was
a good match. I don't know.

27
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.199
I I just he all the guys
that come in from Japan, the knew

28
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:36.639
japan guys, whether it be Minor
Susuki or any of those guys, it's

29
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.680
such a they do things so different
there that they're always gonna look weird to

30
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.719
me in the ring. In what
you see in American wrestling, it's just

31
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:50.560
they're they're just it's always so different. So I yeah, I liked it.

32
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.800
I have never seen him before Saturday, but I thought he was I

33
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.800
really enjoyed that match. I thought
it was a really good match. Mm

34
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.800
hmm. Yeah, And what did
you think of the batch? I thought

35
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:09.719
it was really good. I like
a lot of the Japanese wrestlers Japanese wrestling,

36
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.639
so I enjoyed seeing him. Unlike
a lot of people, I'm not

37
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:22.240
a big Danielson fan, but overall, I thought the match was really good.

38
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.479
I enjoyed it. Yeah, Like
I think, when Danielson's good,

39
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.560
and when he has a good opponent, it's good. But yeah, when

40
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:36.800
when he's with someone that I'm not
so interested in, I do find him

41
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:42.439
kind of boring sometimes. Yeah,
man, that's fair enough. I mean,

42
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.000
if you watch it the you know
you're watching it to enjoy the wrestling,

43
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.599
and if you're not watching somebody that
you're not particularly enjoying, there's no

44
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.479
sense to watching it. And one
thing that I loved was the promo that

45
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.599
Danielson did before the match where he
was making fun of Eddie Kingston and how

46
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.080
he cuts promos like saying, oh
blah blah, blah, the boom,

47
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.719
mic, the light. Yeah,
why what are you even doing here?

48
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.480
Well, let's go to mkay.
What were your thoughts on this? Uh,

49
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:21.319
this match, buddy, I honestly
don't get a chance to what.

50
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.800
I forget it's gone. I wish
it was a better time. I usually

51
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.920
don't pay attention to the Japanese wrestler. I don't know much of him,

52
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.839
so I don't pay attention to him. It has to be a done good

53
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.519
match for me to catch up on. I just wasn't interested in that match

54
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:46.199
at all. Yeah, you know, Alex had alluded to this. I

55
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.079
predicted that I would fall asleep before
this match even started. I had no

56
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:57.920
interest in this match whatsoever. Be
honest with you, I did uh le

57
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:06.439
mean, I AAW's where Japanese wrestlers
come to lose, especially old Japanese wrestlers.

58
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.560
But anyway, so I just turned
off the TV before this even started,

59
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.720
and I caught it on YouTube,
which MK, that's a good thing

60
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.439
to do because they do have the
highlights at least of the matches. They

61
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:24.279
can catch up on All Collision on
YouTube on the All the Wrestling's YouTube,

62
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.720
and you can. They usually post
it the same night you know, so,

63
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:38.279
you could actually watch the two hour
Collision show every match of worth well

64
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:44.480
that they deem them worthy. It's
probably a twenty five minutes you know,

65
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.439
so, and you get the gist
of things. But anyway, yeah,

66
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:54.040
look, my overall thoughts on Collision. I love the Sammy and Hobbs match.

67
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.319
I mean, other than the fact
that aw blew their entire budget for

68
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.720
tables in a fifteen minute match.
They can't buy any more tables now for

69
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:10.279
the next two quarters of this year. But after that match, it was

70
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.560
no sorry, yeah yeah, that
that was my next thing I wanted to

71
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.319
talk about was my favorite match of
Collision, and that was by far the

72
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.360
Sammy Guvara Powerhouse Hobs match. And
I think I counted seven tables that were

73
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:32.319
used in that match. It was
insane they all. I thought they used

74
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:39.079
spot. I might have missed a
couple though. Yeah, I counted five,

75
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.079
But then I thought there was two
that that were broken when I wasn't

76
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.720
looking, when I had my head
turned, so they used to they used

77
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.079
one twice or two twice. Okay, I can't do this new math.

78
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:56.519
Yeah yeah they broke yeah, yeah, there was four tables used in two

79
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.399
spot to two per spot that was
that was a little bit of a board

80
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.720
on the on the the tables,
I think, just a little bit.

81
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.680
Yeah, but sud, did you
have any other matches that you thought were

82
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.480
better than the Cobbs and send Me
guvar match? No? Really, if

83
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.680
you took every other match out and
just left it save me and Hobbs and

84
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.800
then uh Danielson in and you and
you would have had a perfectly good card,

85
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:27.879
because uh, I did like Okay, I will say that the Lady

86
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.480
Ice is always they call her.
Is that what her name is? Lady

87
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.040
Frost. I did like her match. I guess that was the other match

88
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.319
because that match was pretty decent from
her. I like her a lot.

89
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:45.319
I'm kind of over the Tony Storm
thing. She's I get it, but

90
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.839
it's just I don't know, I
just it's just not working for me.

91
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.720
But I did like thought she was
really good at what she was doing.

92
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:01.839
What about anybody else have any matches
that did you guys think that that the

93
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.120
Sevin Gavara and Powerhouse Obs match was
the best match in the night? If

94
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.920
not? Was there another match he
thinks stood out that was a Malachi Black

95
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:18.399
Matt Were you asking how was it, I would say, Yeah, it

96
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.959
didn't do anything for me. And
I used to be before Malachi Black stopped

97
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:30.079
wrestling singles matches, he was like
my favorite wrestler, and yeah, it's

98
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.840
just not exciting for me seeing him
face Brian Heath because you know, Brian

99
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.200
Heith's gonna lose. The match was
just a little bit boring for me.

100
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:46.720
Yeah, my match, well,
Malachi, how do I put this?

101
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.960
Brian Keith wasn't very good and neither
was Malachi. I don't know whether it

102
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.919
was a lack of chemistry or a
lack of athleticism, one of both parts,

103
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.360
you know, coming back from injuries
whatnot. It just was it kind

104
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.960
of kind of plotted, you know, it was slow and and meticulous match

105
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.519
net Did you think that? I
mean, do you agree with that?

106
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.360
Yeah? I wasn't that interested in
it, and I like Malachi Black a

107
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:24.840
lot, but it just it didn't
have any flair to it. It just

108
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.759
seemed very boring, almost like a
time filler. They didn't have a lot

109
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:39.080
of chemistry. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't enjoy it. Yeah,

110
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:45.279
I'm with you. If I wanted
to see Malachi Black wrestler Bran Heath,

111
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.159
I want to see him just beat
Brian Heath in like two minutes. I

112
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.840
just want to see do his greatest
hits. I think Blakeith is more of

113
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:01.120
an r O each would be better
off in r O each because he just

114
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.360
puts me. He just puts me
in mind of what someone from rh would

115
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.200
be, you know what I mean. Well, considering that he's never won

116
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.240
an AAW singles match, he definitely
is doing better at r OH anyway.

117
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.120
Yeah, so Alex, let's let's
move on from collision. What do you

118
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:22.200
want to talk about next? Yeah? The next thing I wanted to talk

119
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.120
about was so we I don't know
if it's been officially announced by AEW,

120
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:33.240
but we have confirmation that Forbidden Door
three is going to be taking place at

121
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.919
Arthur ash Stadium this year. Yes. I think we also at least rumblings

122
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:46.159
that not only will New Japan be
involved, but also CML we've seen there

123
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:54.159
partnering with AW. Yes, so
it's interesting. I think there's two there's

124
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.720
two interesting parts about Forbidden Door this
year. One part is that probably the

125
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:05.759
two biggest names from New Japan are
now members of the AW are about to

126
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:11.759
be members of the AW roster.
Okada and will Osprey, So that kind

127
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.559
of takes away two of the biggest
matches for the Forbidden Door pay per view.

128
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.039
So yeah, I don't know if
anyone else has any predictions for what

129
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.000
a big interesting match. I know, net I think you said you like

130
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.080
Japanese wrestling, so I wonder if
you have any thoughts. I don't know

131
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:41.600
what they're gonna do. I've been
wondering that since AW got Okada, exactly

132
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.360
what direction they were going to go
in with forbid in Door. I'm I

133
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.360
have no idea. I'm I'm excited
to see it, but I don't I

134
00:11:52.360 --> 00:12:00.919
don't know, Yeah, I mean, sorry, don't got so yeah,

135
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:07.320
one thing that I noticed with like, so Kada left and there's kind of

136
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.879
rumblings that he didn't leave in the
right way because he didn't he won basically

137
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.519
a multi man tag match. He
didn't end up putting anyone over on his

138
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.159
way out of the door. So
I wonder if that is a way to

139
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.840
set up him fighting one of the
younger guys from New Japan that's like not

140
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:31.000
as established in Okata representing AW now
and he's fighting a New Japan guy.

141
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:37.720
So I thought that's one angle that
I can imagine seeing so New Japan has

142
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:43.559
has new additions? Do they not
nick name it? Oh? Yeah it

143
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.240
is there? And Jack Perry,
Yeah, I think that's a concept.

144
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:56.759
And who they would who? I'm
hoping that the MLLL will bring some people

145
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.159
in a note I thought I seen
where the King goes hurt, but he's

146
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:07.600
with Pop anyway. The guy who
thought that the that's keep a star who

147
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.840
thought mostully I think will be a
good match with somebody I don't know who

148
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.279
put them with. But I'm hoping
they bring it because I remember the kid

149
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.080
loving watching that style. So hopefully
they bring a little bit. But I've

150
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.360
never really paid attention to Forbidden Door, But if they get more loops of

151
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.679
people in there, I might take
a look at it. Yeah, and

152
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.519
yes we won't. Alex and I
decided on a previous podcast that, uh,

153
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:43.639
we want to have et Cera's baby. Oh wow. The one thing

154
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:50.279
that about one thing that worries me
about Forbidden Door is is New Japan going

155
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:56.960
to survive to Forbidden Door? Because
with them having so many issues within their

156
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.600
company now, I don't know,
I don't know how that's gonna you know

157
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:05.080
what I mean? They lost to
Kata they lost Osprey, there's talk of

158
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.039
I don't even think I've heard talk
that Jack Zaber Junior is not going to

159
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.919
be there very often. Then I
hear he's gonna be either gonna build it

160
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.080
around. So I think it's all
gonna come down to for the forbidden door

161
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.639
that they made up. You're right, I don't really know. You know,

162
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.919
I don't watch enough of Japanese wrestling
outside of what they do in a

163
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.720
w Yeah, you know, I
can't say, well, you know,

164
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.480
you've got this guy, this guy, and this guy. It's just one

165
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.159
of those things where they're they're you
know, you got the chance for like

166
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.639
the original Bullet Club to come over
and have problems with Boot Club Gold.

167
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.679
You could have that kind of an
angle in there is the Jack Perry one.

168
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.519
Is that true that he is there? Or is this an excursion kind

169
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:52.000
of thing that they're working? You
know what, I think it's work because

170
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.000
uh, nobody's talking about it right
Let me ask. Let me ask a

171
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.519
question to you, Saw, and
then I want MK and NET to also

172
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.360
tackle this question. Of course,
Alex too. I previously said, and

173
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.559
it's the truth. Nobody could argue
this that forbidden Doors where Japanese wrestlers come

174
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.519
to lose to AW wrestlers. Down't
they bringing CMML wrestlers. I kind of

175
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:26.279
would look forward to seeing a match
between two CMML guys and two New Japan

176
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.120
guys and give a w guys a
rest. Let's have a match that we

177
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:37.919
literally don't know who's going to win
this thing? Would I think that would

178
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.919
be I think that would be a
cool idea. But then again, you

179
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.519
Yo and I both know that's not
what it's about. You know, that's

180
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:50.080
what would be great to see,
But it's about getting and I don't know,

181
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.120
it would be awesome to see something
like that. Maybe throw in an

182
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.840
extra like one match between say Okata
and some young kid coming from New Japan,

183
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:06.759
or offspring and some kid coming from
New Japan or CMMLMML. But I

184
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.039
you know, it would be great
to see it that way, but we

185
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:12.919
just never probably going to get that. I just say CMML CMLL fast that

186
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.840
way. If I mess up,
nobody realizes it. Net. I mean,

187
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.279
what did you think about that idea? Would you like to see CMLL

188
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:27.039
fight matches against New Japan? I
would? I think it's a good idea.

189
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:33.200
It's a good opportunity. I don't
think it can hurt. I mean,

190
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.600
you know, it's it's more for
everybody. It's it's more wrestling for

191
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:45.720
everyone. So I think it would
be pretty nice. Yeah. Well,

192
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.159
you know, here's the problem though. And I can't remember who said it.

193
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:53.039
It was either Sutton or MK,
but they said that they're not interested

194
00:16:53.679 --> 00:17:00.159
because they don't really are not really
familiar with New Japan. Was a one

195
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.360
if you just said that, or
both of you that said that. Oh

196
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.119
I didn't I like it all.
I mean, for me, anything that

197
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:10.680
happened. I used to be a
giant the other company SPAN until they started

198
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:12.319
screwing that up. And this is
kind of to me, it's like what

199
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.680
it was when WCW started. I
love AW. I watch everything that has

200
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:22.079
to do with AW. My son
watches all the New Japan stuff. He

201
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.359
stays up till late at night to
watch the Super Cups and all the stuff

202
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:29.000
they do. I usually don't have
time to watch that stuff. I would.

203
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.559
I think the first one I watched
was I watched it the second year

204
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:40.559
of AW when it was during the
pandemic. I watched the one in the

205
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:45.720
Tokyo Dome that year myself. Yeah, Russell Kingdom. That's the first one

206
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.079
I really watched. I knew who
you know, everybody knows growing up,

207
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:55.160
you know what New Japan is,
but you don't see anybody, right if

208
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:59.000
I had the opportunity, but I
just don't. So okay, So you

209
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.279
were the one that said so you're
not familiar with Japan, then right?

210
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:10.200
Yes. You know. One thing
I've said the aw doesn't do very well

211
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:18.400
is introduce this to people and little
just little vignettes of you know, people

212
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.000
before they come out would be great. But you know, I would love

213
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:27.640
to see black tourists versus Okata,
just different types of people. I remember

214
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.480
growing up and watching Ultimate Dragons versus
some of the luca ly bred people and

215
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.480
that was fun to watch. Just
different styles clashing and turning out how to

216
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:45.839
do matches, and uh, that
excites me. I think the main thing

217
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:52.000
for the first Forbidden Doors was just
to get them for the rest was known,

218
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:57.319
and it should be great just to
have different matches of different people and

219
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:04.039
not always have the same winner.
Yeah, and one last thing about Forbidden

220
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:12.119
Door. We do have John Moxley
competing for the New Japan title, the

221
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:18.039
heavyweight title at the Chicago show.
That they're doing, so there is a

222
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:23.160
small chance that John Moxley actually walks
into Forbidden Door three as the new Japan

223
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:29.119
Champion to kind of set up them
taking their title back. So I just

224
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:34.720
thought that's maybe the last interesting angle
for Forbidden Door three. Yeah, you

225
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:40.240
know what if I thought that somebody
from New Japan could actually win a meaningful

226
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:44.920
match and Forbidden Door and actually probably
by Forbid Door. But I have not

227
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:49.680
purchased or some for Britten Door yet, and I do not feel like I've

228
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:56.119
missed anything. I could see great
wrestling matches on regular TV from AW.

229
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.240
I don't need to buy a pay
per view to see a meaningless but great

230
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:07.039
match. Yeah, fair enough,
it's not continuing the AW storylines and developing

231
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:12.680
that we've had a thing in a
past where we've talked about Forbidden Door where

232
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.279
we consider some of us do not
all by far, not all, but

233
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.319
some of us have said that Forbidden
Door is not only were Japanese wrestlers cut

234
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:27.599
the lose to AW wrestlers, but
it's the great momentum killer of AW.

235
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.839
Yeah, I think you know,
I liked Forbidden Door two more than Forbidden

236
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:40.039
Door one, But I just I
like the idea that we have this kind

237
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:45.519
of weird thing where we get these
cross promotional matches. I agree that that's

238
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.880
kind of kill things, but I
enjoy it. I'm happy, and I

239
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.039
hope they keep doing it year to
year. I guess it's not for everyone,

240
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.559
but I think it probably brings in
some other fans to make up for

241
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.920
the I heard AW fans that aren't
following. Right. Well, I think

242
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.119
it's a dream come true. You
know, we've grown up. When you

243
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:11.319
had WCWAWW, you wanted to have
them go against each other. It never

244
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.640
happened, never was gonna happen.
But now you actually have it where someday,

245
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.279
you never know, with things that
are going on in any other company,

246
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.680
you know what I mean, there
could be a time when that's included

247
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.920
too. Yeah, but sut Sutton, let me break in there, because

248
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:32.279
what you just said was really really
true. When WWE and WCW were going

249
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.079
it going against each other, you
wanted to see them go against each other,

250
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.079
right, you know, literally in
the ring. Well, guess what

251
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:45.319
happened. WWE bought WCW and they
did go against each other, and WWE

252
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:52.440
absolutely squashed every single thing that WCW
had Okay, right, and that's the

253
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:53.839
way I look for bid door.
And I'm gonna tell you another thing.

254
00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:00.359
When wc W was purchased by WWE, I immediately started watching w W because

255
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:06.039
I was a w WCW fan.
When I saw what WW was doing to

256
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.839
WCW, I stopped watching wrestling for
fifteen years. Yeah, I didn't watch

257
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.720
it for Yeah, I didn't watch
it either. I Mean. The thing

258
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.119
that's different about that that is now
compared to what it would have been done

259
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:26.119
is Tony Caughton is he's so much
different than Vince was. Vince was an

260
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.039
asshole. Sorry he was, and
he always would have been. And what

261
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.359
he did was because he didn't know
that he If you sit back and think

262
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:41.480
about what could have been had they
actually gave WCW WWE own show, give

263
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.519
it its own show and let it
go, well, it could have been

264
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.720
he could have had They could have
conquered everything because you could have still had

265
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.920
their brand. He had a brand
split, you know what I mean.

266
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.480
But they didn't do that because Vince's
problem was you were never I don't care

267
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:56.759
who it was when he was in
charge. If his man ain't win and

268
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.319
it ain't doing it, period in
the story, right, because that's why

269
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.759
I'll be bringing that. You wanted
to say something, go ahead, Oh

270
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.559
no, I was just saying,
Kelson. That happened to me when I

271
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:17.400
watched w CW and it was destroyed. I stopped watching wrestling for a long

272
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:26.599
time, and when a w came
along, I was so hopeful that I

273
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.319
would see the wrestling that I had
loved, and I've seen it so far,

274
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:36.240
and that's why I'm glad to see
a lot of the Japanese wrestlers,

275
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:44.720
a lot of the Lucha doors because
it's wrestling and it's it's just great.

276
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:51.880
It's great to see it this way. So yeah, yeah, yeah,

277
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.640
And in defense of the cross promotion
stuff like yes, Ocata came to a

278
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.480
w and lost to Brad Danielson,
but then later Brian Danielson went to New

279
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:07.920
Japan and lost to Okada. So
it is a lot more give and take

280
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.680
than yeah, it's given, give
or taken take. It's not give and

281
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.480
take, you know, but it's
you know, you get my wrestler will

282
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.279
go to Japan and lose to your
guy. Your wrestler comes to America and

283
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.839
loses to our guy. Yeah,
but if they do that for two years

284
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.319
straight. I'm sorry it's boring.
Well, we also had Sonata beat Jungle

285
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.920
Boy. You know, the Japanese
guys did win matches at the show,

286
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.559
the big ones. Yeah, they're
not gonna win the AW title, and

287
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.759
and that would be kind of cool
if that did happen. Yeah, that's

288
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.240
what I want to see. I
want to see matches, meaningful matches in

289
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:56.640
doubt, that's all. Yea,
you know there's not so Alex. What's

290
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.839
next on the agenda for this evening? Yeah, but before we get into

291
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:07.559
the Dynamite match, the singular match
that's been announced, I think, I

292
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.240
mean there's two, there's two pretty
big things happening on this Dynamite episode.

293
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:18.920
But the biggest thing in my mind
is it is Sting's final Dynamite, well

294
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.559
at least his final Dynamite as an
active wrestler. I think Tony Kahn's hinted

295
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:27.000
at thing. You know, he
might show up again in the future,

296
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:33.720
not wrestling, but he's still part
of the AW family going forward. But

297
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:40.119
yeah, this is going to be
Sting's last match or last Dynamite. And

298
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:45.480
I know we were speculating on Sting
the road to Revolution. We've seen him

299
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:51.920
bring in Rick Flair already. I
think we've also heard rumors that Lex Luger

300
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:57.920
will be appearing at the Revolution event
or Lex Luger's talked about it. So

301
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:00.920
yeah, I guess I'm one.
I have a couple of names I wrote

302
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.920
down, But uh, Natt,
do you I'll put you on the spot.

303
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.039
Do you have any ideas of who
who else might we see? And

304
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.480
I know you're a WCW fan,
so you might have some good ones.

305
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.720
Oh, I don't know. I
you know, I haven't thought about it

306
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:29.279
because I have wanted to be surprised. I almost feel like a little kid

307
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:37.240
again waiting for Saturday Morning Wrestling,
and I have really wanted to be shocked

308
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:42.720
and surprised at who is going to
come to Sting's final match, and also

309
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:49.519
which thing are we going to see? I've been wondering that too, So

310
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:56.480
I don't know. Any's made quite
a few friends in the in the wrestling

311
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.799
business, and I don't know who's
gonna show up. I hope everyone,

312
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:07.480
honestly, So, Nat, do
you have any predictions of what thing we're

313
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:14.599
gonna see? Is it going to
be the old Surfers thing? I was

314
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:18.960
hoping for the Surfers thing. Honestly, I was hoping that Sting would kind

315
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:26.119
of throw it back to his old
fans. A couple of my friends were

316
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:33.319
saying that they think it's gonna be
jokers thing, But I'm hoping that he

317
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:41.480
does the real throwback to to the
beginnings of I would be of it.

318
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.680
Hm, that would be awesome.
Yeah, I have a spicy prediction about

319
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.160
that. But let's go to m
K. I want to hear what MK's

320
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:53.440
thoughts are. Who do you think
that may show up for Sting's final match

321
00:27:55.039 --> 00:28:00.039
to support him. The problem is
a lot of his friends are tub mainstays

322
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:06.559
right now like Booker t I would
and and Nasal state he can't go.

323
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.599
Uh. But I would really love
for Mick Foley to show up. Those

324
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:17.599
who have a history the Steiner brothers
have a history with him. Uh,

325
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.720
just name names like that. I've
heard names battered around like Mudha since he

326
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:27.799
was part of his retirement. I
could see mooda show, you know.

327
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:33.720
But as for Sting coming out,
we we know he's not gonna do blonde

328
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.200
hair or anything for it. But
I could see, you know, the

329
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.920
black and white surfer Sting doing the
woo's and the different maybe colorful tights,

330
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:47.920
you know, like we seem a
little bit in uh in TNA when he

331
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.920
was in there for a little bit. But this is big for me because

332
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:59.119
I grew up as a little stinger. I watched him a surfer Sting ninety

333
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:00.880
seven and stuff. When he croasting, I had him as a birthday cake.

334
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.960
Uh. I've a little singer for
my whole, nearly half my life.

335
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.640
So I enjoy watching him and like
another person said, I really will

336
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:17.440
be a kid again watching it.
I hope there is some interference in both

337
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.359
with I hope they do. I
would really love for the rest, if

338
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.200
not, stay in their seats a
little bit and have some fun with the

339
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.680
match and do some stuff. I
hope they don't do the classic flare turning

340
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:33.640
on sting angle, but but it
seems like after Tulsa they may. I

341
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.759
don't know what they're doing with that
either, but I just love stinging,

342
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.720
so it's gonna be an event for
me. Well, Sultan, what do

343
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.920
you? What are your thoughts on
this, buddy? I I kind of

344
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:52.359
agree with christ m m K.
Yes, yeah, okay, I kind

345
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.119
of agree with him that you're probably
not going to get to see the circus

346
00:29:55.160 --> 00:30:00.160
thing unless there is a way that
they could do that, and because there

347
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:04.039
is a Texas Tornado match, they
could start him out in the sting current

348
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:08.160
thing and then through camera tricks or
whatever you want to call it, however

349
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.559
they want to do it, they
could progress him back if they wanted to.

350
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.799
And then you wouldn't play anything past
these guys because they want to make

351
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.319
this the most memorable thing that could
happen. As for the people who come,

352
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:25.240
h I figure you'll see lex.
I figure you'll see uh maybe,

353
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:29.200
I'm pretty sure you'll see Muda.
Even if they don't announce him, he'll

354
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:30.759
be there. I mean Muda.
He was there for Muda, so I'm

355
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.960
assuming Muda is going to be there
when it comes to the Rick Flair thing.

356
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:40.000
I don't. We had this discussion
the other day, Kelson and I

357
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:42.000
don't. I don't. I don't. I just don't see them. I

358
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:47.000
don't see them losing that them titles
tomorrow or Sunday. I see them keeping

359
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:51.319
the titles and then him appearing because
when you're I know this is going to

360
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:56.680
be his last Dynamite tomorrow night,
but it's not his retirement yet, So

361
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.119
you wouldn't want to have like everybody
come out and say farewell to him.

362
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:07.839
So I seen him coming out on
the following week before Big you know,

363
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.319
the week before Big Business, and
having him say his goodbyes and the ring

364
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.400
to everybody and then either relinquishing the
titles or picking a partner for Darby.

365
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.440
That's just how I see it going. All right, Well, we will

366
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:26.319
be talking about our final Revolution predictions
on All He Talk tomorrow night at the

367
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:33.279
podcast. I have a spicy prediction
though, for what's going to happen with

368
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:40.880
the guest. Alex has brought up
Surfer Sting. I do believe that Surfer

369
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:45.680
Sting is going to show up at
Revolution. But it's not going to be

370
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:55.599
our retiring Sting. It's going to
be his younger son. He's gonna he's

371
00:31:55.640 --> 00:32:00.799
gonna come out, and I do
believe I would be surprised if either Rick

372
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:08.839
Flair or somebody like that does turn
on Sting and Sting song. Surfer Sting

373
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:16.039
comes out and takes care of him
and that's it. Just a stork little

374
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:20.519
tribute to Surfer Sting, and that's
the way they could do it. And

375
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.519
it would make sense that his son
does look a lot like he did when

376
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:29.119
he was younger, you know,
like he did. Yeah, that's what

377
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.839
I never thought about that, you
know, go ahead, go ahead that

378
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:39.039
No, I think that's a really
that's a good idea. And well,

379
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:50.119
while we're talking about this, when
our glorious EVPs attacked Sting's son, I

380
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:54.559
said to myself, this sets up
that long term storytelling that I know and

381
00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:05.519
love because there can be a point
down the road somewhere where sting sons and

382
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:14.759
the EVPs actually have matches and actually
have a feud with each other. So

383
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.920
what better time than you know,
Stingh's retirement to kind of kick that off

384
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:25.039
and you're not at the stage for
it. Yeah, not the squasher idea,

385
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.440
net. But they did have an
our interview with Darby Allen. They'll

386
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:36.359
take this for what it is because
it could be a swerve, as most

387
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:39.640
things in wrestling tend to be.
But Darbiella did state the recent interview that

388
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:45.680
Sting's sons have absolutely no interest in
professional wrestling. Yeah, I don't believe

389
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:52.079
that. And to add to her
idea, you could have one do surface

390
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:57.599
thing and one do Crowsting. That's
that's also true, you know, because

391
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.359
they both look liking they both could
pose as a so you do with that.

392
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.680
That's a great idea. That's a
that's great right there. That would

393
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:09.039
really be It's gonna be big.
I could see the Bucks messing with Sting

394
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:16.519
and dressing up as Sting clones as
well, and they look so I could

395
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:22.000
see them dressing up in some sort
to mock him and stuff. Uh,

396
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.920
you know, I thought that Sting
was going to lose, but when the

397
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:32.079
Tulsa the promo, he did a
Tulsa. I can't definitely say that now

398
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:38.920
because now they've involved the siblings and
the kids and stuff. So I really

399
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:43.119
feel like, I don't know,
it's a toss up. I don't know

400
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:47.159
how they're gonna do it. Maybe
they have have another tag tag team tournament

401
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:50.880
and stuff. I don't really want
to see the young Bucks with the titles,

402
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.039
right, Yeah. I don't think
anybody else does either, And honestly,

403
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.559
I don't think that's the whole I
don't think that's the plan, don't.

404
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:06.599
Yeah, I don't think so it's
going to be very interesting. I

405
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:08.280
think that the Bucks are gonna win. But anyway, Alex, did you

406
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.559
actually I can't remember did you?
Did you? But take this with a

407
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:17.519
great assault because I suck at making
predictions anyway, Alex did you did you

408
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:23.360
make your Yeah, I had two
people and they were both mentioned. I

409
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:28.159
had Great Mooda because of the retirement
stuff, like he's already been involved with

410
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:31.079
his retirement. And I had McK
foley as well, because he was involved

411
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:37.079
with staying not only way back in
the day in w c W as Cactus

412
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.119
Jack and we've also and they had
some matches in TNA, I believe.

413
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.199
And I don't know if McK foley's
ever been part of a W at all

414
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:50.440
in the past, but yeah,
I you know, it might be establishing

415
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:55.480
him as somebody we might see a
little bit more so. Yeah, to

416
00:35:55.519 --> 00:36:02.159
the fact that he wants to wrestle
a retirement match for sixtieth sixtieth birthday match,

417
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:06.000
I think is what he said,
and he doesn't want it to be

418
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:09.360
in WW well, I would think
way out. Just think if this happened,

419
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:15.760
what if they had to work like
a video package with guys like you

420
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:23.039
know, Buff bag Well and Disco
Inferno and Kevin Nash, And what about

421
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:30.880
if they had Triple H or somebody
like that from wwe actually make a statement

422
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:37.000
and break down that stupid barrier that
frankly, I think that would be the

423
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.360
best thing to do, a classy
thing to do, and then aaw can

424
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:46.760
reciprocate down the line, you know, for WWE and have some of their

425
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:52.880
guys participate in just a simple,
you know, video package. I would

426
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:58.719
not has done that. I think
in the past they've let their wrestlers,

427
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:07.280
particular certain on certain documentaries they have. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've

428
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.480
They've done it with a lot of
them for their their things, and and

429
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:13.480
that's of this before. That's why
I was saying we were talking about the

430
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:16.519
forbidden or earlier, there's gonna be
a day when that happens. It just

431
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:22.079
is gonna happen. If if Trip
staysn't in charge, or if some other

432
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:25.119
fallout comes out of it and somebody
else can, it's eventually going to happen

433
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:30.519
because it makes it just makes too
much. Everybody talks about how wrestling is

434
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:35.119
about the money. That's money.
You ain't making more money than that,

435
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:37.519
you know what I mean. I
mean, you listen to you listened to

436
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:43.320
interviews with a w w WE wrestlers, and none of them are saying that

437
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:46.079
they hate the other company. All. The most thing they say is that

438
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:52.320
there now that there's more jobs,
more wrestlers can eat. Tribalism does not

439
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:59.199
exist among the wrestlers, or it
exists among the fans. Now, we're

440
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:04.800
a WAN, so we're AW specific, but that doesn't mean that we don't

441
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:10.199
have AW fans that watch WWE,
and it certainly doesn't mean that we look

442
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:17.639
down upon AWW. What it means
is that we are laser focused on AAW

443
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:23.000
There are plenty of other places that
are laser focused on WWE, CMLL,

444
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:28.960
New Japan, stardom, you name
it, there's places for it. We're

445
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:34.440
just a place for AW where the
AW fan of tribalism has no place in

446
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.920
the community. And I think that, you know, we have to kind

447
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:43.320
of walk a fine line between tribalism
and just being AW fans. It's kind

448
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.679
of sometimes hard to discern between the
two, you know, but you can

449
00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:51.519
be a fan of wrestling. You
don't have to be a fan of one

450
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:54.440
company. It's just so hardens Like
I said, that we are AW fanom

451
00:38:54.519 --> 00:39:01.039
that's what we are. So aw
Unfortunately, there are way too many people

452
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:05.559
that still have that mindset. I
mean, you see it every day.

453
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:07.800
There are a lot of people that
just have that mindset where if it's not

454
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.440
WWE, it sucks. If it's
not AW it sucks. If it's not

455
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.280
New Japan, it sucks. And
you're gonna have that for a long time

456
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:19.800
because they see that as for they
perceived that's the way it is for the

457
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:23.679
people in the and that comes a
lot from what Vince was like, Yes,

458
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:29.320
it certain that WWE fans hated everybody. If it wasn't WE, it

459
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:31.559
didn't matter, and that's gonna take
a lot longer for it to go.

460
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:36.519
Wait and then you know what I
mean. Well, w CW didn't help

461
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:38.239
with that either though, because they
did a lot of stuff you know,

462
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:43.519
but do so throwing the belt of
the Trash, the WW Belt the Trash

463
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:49.800
live on TV. WD w CW
were given spoilers when they were taping smack

464
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:53.960
Down w CW. I love WCW, but they did some shady stuff.

465
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:59.920
But anyway, Alex, I know
you're chomping at the bit to get it

466
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:12.159
to the match preview for Dynamite.
Yeah, okay, so we got Eddie

467
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:17.559
Kingston teaming up with FTR versus the
Blackpool Combat Club. I love FTR.

468
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:28.039
I don't hate Eddie Kingston like some
other co hosts of this podcast and Blackpool

469
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.480
Combat Club, I can kind of
take it or leave it. I didn't.

470
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:37.119
I wasn't super thrilled with the FTR, Blackpool Combat Club Last Dynamite,

471
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:43.800
but I'm intrigued by this match.
I think Eddie Kingston and FTR are kind

472
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:47.360
of a weird pairing. I feel
like Eddie Kingston may not be a fan

473
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:53.880
of FTR, so yeah, I'm
just I'm mostly intrigued by how they work

474
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:59.159
together as a team and just kind
of what the vibes are, right,

475
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:06.960
Yeah, I guess be weird.
Oh and it'll be an hour and a

476
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.400
half. They still got to get
fifteen minutes for well Osprey, fifteen minutes

477
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:15.400
for staying well. You know they're
gonna throw like Wardlow against you know,

478
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:22.039
some local talent. Then they're gonna
have Red Velvet probably against I don't know,

479
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:28.559
Queen Amanada again. You know,
it's tough on these go home those,

480
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:32.480
you know, it's essentially Dynamite Collision
this week or go home shows,

481
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.880
and it's tough going into a pay
per view. But nett uh, what

482
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:43.239
do you think about this match?
You excited for this match? For which

483
00:41:43.320 --> 00:42:00.360
one the only one alread Eddie Kingston
against the Black Bull Comeback Club that I

484
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:09.280
guess that fell off a chair.
We'll go back to that if h let's

485
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.039
okay, you there, Yeah,
I'm here. I'm sorry, I love

486
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:23.320
Okay. So what do you think
about this match? Well? I am

487
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:30.679
a big Eddie Kingston fan, so
I think I'm I'm choking. I'm choking.

488
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:43.440
Wait a second, Okay, I
bet I don't. I don't know,

489
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:46.920
I am. I can take it
or leave it, though, I

490
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:59.679
mean f TR is angry, upset, and I'm I don't know. They're

491
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:05.639
always yeah, well sometimes they have
a little a little kindness and a little

492
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:08.159
soft spot. They're talking about,
you know, fighting like eight year old

493
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:13.239
girls. You know, they get
all stuff. But yeah, you know,

494
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:16.000
but after Revolver, Eddie Kickson's not
known for being you know, like

495
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:22.320
the most mild mannered personal world and
Black Book Compa Club's always pissed off.

496
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:29.079
Yeah, yeah, I don't know
though it mm hmm. It doesn't seem

497
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:35.199
like they're I don't know, like
they're really really fired up. To me,

498
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:40.639
it just seems like everybody's kind of
mad. Maybe they'll get really mad

499
00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:49.400
at this match and this will be
you know, like the powder keg I

500
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:54.360
don't know. M Yeah, okay, what are you thinking about this match

501
00:43:54.400 --> 00:44:06.719
here? I am I do not
like Eddie Kingston really. In my opinion,

502
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.960
f TR has become a catch all. They've had you know this,

503
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:15.920
Daniel Garcias with them, and then
they have a match with uh now,

504
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:21.039
Eddie Kingston. They've had one with
Adam Copeland. I just think them become

505
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:25.679
a catch off for all different people
to work with. I'm I don't mind

506
00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:31.880
the Blackpool Combat Club, but I
really do feel like they need to work

507
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:38.039
with some different people or add some
people or something to make them less less

508
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:42.840
still. But Eddie Kingston, to
me, I was disappointed that he won

509
00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:49.800
the Continental Classic. I was hoping
someone else would win. I'm thinking hopefully

510
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:52.519
the pay per view that that that
that that belt will get taken off of

511
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:57.920
by Brian Danielson. But I just
I'm not interested in that match at all.

512
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:02.480
I like FTR as a tag team. I was at Tulsa and that

513
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:08.599
match was I thought was pretty good
and the crowd liked it. I didn't

514
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:15.760
like the ending necessarily, but uh, you know, Eddie kicks up with

515
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:21.760
anybody is a snoozer for me.
So well, Elf, I mean,

516
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:25.920
yeah, all of sudden, What
are your thoughts on this match? Uh?

517
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.920
You know what. To me,
it just seemed like it it's thrown

518
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:36.559
together. It doesn't make any sense. I get what they're doing for because

519
00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:38.440
it is to go home showing.
It puts the combatants for the two matches

520
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:43.400
together. But honestly, when they
first started, when I first thought they

521
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.079
were gonna do it, I thought
it was gonna be with with Run.

522
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.519
I thought it would be him an
f TR because Eddie really didn't have anything

523
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:53.159
involved in it. What I mean, he was inside, he was sitting

524
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:55.519
on the side and he was watching
a match, but he didn't get messed

525
00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.840
up in it. It was FTR
and Ryland or whatever name is. And

526
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.079
that's what I thought it was gonna
be. And they said, Adie Kingston,

527
00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:06.679
I'm like, okay, I get
it. So you know we're gonna

528
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:12.920
see We're gonna see Moxley versus FTR, and then uh Claudia versus FTR,

529
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.599
and it's gonna be Daniel Cin and
Eddi and they're gonna beat the crap out

530
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:17.400
of each other for a bit,
and it's gonna be one guy does one

531
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:20.480
move then the next day and it's
just gonna be the same thing again.

532
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:23.360
To me, it really is a
waste of time to do that kind of

533
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:28.079
a match, especially, you know, when it's everybody knows what's gonna happen.

534
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:34.079
They're probably gonna have the Blackpool called
back Club beat somebody from str and

535
00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.239
it just goes on. I I
don't know. It's to me, it's

536
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:39.920
not really gonna make or break the
show. It could if they didn't have

537
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:43.880
it, you know, if they
had some other show, if they had

538
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:47.719
some other matches announced, it might
make it more interesting, but as of

539
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:52.039
right now, that's the only match
we got. Yeah, Alex, I

540
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.239
mean, what are your thoughts.
I'll I have something that I want to

541
00:46:55.280 --> 00:47:02.519
say specifically about this, But yeah, I'm happy to see FTR wrestle at

542
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:07.559
all. I just love FTR,
so put him out there with anyone,

543
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:12.440
I'm happy. And I just like
the weird matchup of Eddie Kingston and FTR.

544
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.280
I don't know if he's actually going
to get along with them. I

545
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:21.320
could see him or them, you
know, fighting with each other. So

546
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:24.840
yeah, I think it's it's kind
of a nothing match, because yeah,

547
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.960
it is just a match to set
up the pay per view, But I

548
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:32.039
think it'll be fun, more fun
than some of the other things that they

549
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:37.280
could throw out there. Yeah,
well this is to come a little bit

550
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.639
out of left field, but I
promise that there is a point related to

551
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:49.159
this match. Did you guys see
the backstage picture of QT Marshall at Collision

552
00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:54.639
from last week? Yeah, the
guy looks like he's chiseled out of granite.

553
00:47:54.719 --> 00:48:00.679
Now he has done a completely different
change. I can't remember who's training

554
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:06.360
him, but he is going through
extensive training and this same trainer is working

555
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:16.440
with Eddie Kingston. CA Yeah much
for a w dark wrestler. Yeah,

556
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:22.480
so anyway, he is training Eddie
Kingston. So hopefully, uh, over

557
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:30.320
the next several months, Eddie Kingston
will get you know, some agility and

558
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:36.199
muscle and wrestling ability and be able
to actually go out there and perform.

559
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:42.599
So but my opinion on this is
the same opinion I have, you know,

560
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:46.840
frankly and every Eddie Kingston match ever, as soon as Eddie Kingston's little

561
00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:53.559
music hits when he comes to the
ring, the TV gets a nice channel

562
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:58.519
change. But I do pay attention
to the live chat because because it's kind

563
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:00.960
of funny saying, oh, a
chop, another chop, another chop,

564
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:06.639
another chop. Imagine that chops from
Eddie Kingston, who do and then a

565
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.239
surprise roll up win And then I
know, once the count of three has

566
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:15.599
happened, I could turn a TV
back onto AW would watch. So there

567
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:22.239
you go. Question, is it
what is it that so many people,

568
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:29.880
some of you all included, have
against Eddie Kingston Kelson? I know with

569
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:34.639
you, but what is it that
you all don't like about Eddie Kingston?

570
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:38.519
Well, I will say what I
will go to the others, but I

571
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:45.519
will say my part because it's very
simple. I watch AW primarily for the

572
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:53.800
wrestling, and Eddie Kingston can't wrestle
period. Yeah, And I like Eddie

573
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:59.639
Kingston like I don't love him.
I was happy to see him win the

574
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:04.800
turn Man. I wanted him to
win more than Danielson or Moxley. But

575
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:07.960
I kind of like Eddie is like
an underdog a little bit more. I

576
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:12.840
don't hate his chops because I feel
like, if you're gonna chop, you

577
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:19.719
should hit guys hard, and he
does hit guys very hard. Have you

578
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:24.559
seen the machine gun chops? The
machine gun chops not included. I think

579
00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:34.079
that's just yeah, Eddie Kingston is
obsessed with nineties Japanese wrestling Junaki Yama like

580
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.920
Masawa Kobashi, so he kind of
copies that stuff, and I don't really

581
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:43.719
love that. But I think Eddie
Kingston as a wrestlers maybe not my favorite,

582
00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:46.880
but I think he's good, and
I think he's a great character,

583
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:50.960
and I think he cuts great promos. So I like Eddie Kingston. I

584
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:54.519
don't hate him as much A million
times I love I love Eddie Kingston's promos.

585
00:50:54.559 --> 00:51:00.199
But if he wants to wrestle Kiobasa
or whatever, go to Japan and

586
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:02.920
uh yeah and do it. Not
an eight of you. It's no place

587
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:07.960
for it there. You've seen once
one Eddie Kingston match. You've literally seen

588
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:14.679
every single match for the last fifty
years exactly. Eddie reminds me of your

589
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:22.440
crazy uncle who tries to get into
wrestling. Uh. He just picks and

590
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:25.880
and he's just all over the place. The machine gun chops are cool ones,

591
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:30.079
but he keeps on doing them,
and I just I don't they don't

592
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:34.800
seem like they hurt. I thought, Uh, you know, he didn't

593
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:38.880
do the crispin wall type where he
just leaves. He's just not interested.

594
00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:43.599
To me, he just you know, your old crazy uncle who thinks he's

595
00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:49.360
a wrestler and wants to fight all
the time, and he does do good

596
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:52.280
good promos. I will give you
that, but he's just not my cup

597
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:55.320
of tea. And like I said
before, I would have rather him not

598
00:51:55.400 --> 00:52:00.039
want to count no Classic. I
think they're giving him and all a branch

599
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:04.320
and just want him to do it. But I don't think I don't understand

600
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:12.599
his popularity the fan base. But
that's just me, all right. I

601
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.360
think the popularity, I think the
popularity that Eddie Kingston comes down to the

602
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:23.079
fact that he does try to emulate
eighties and nineties wrestling because he's the link

603
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:28.679
to the older folks that are wrestling
watching wrestling now that aren't being set because

604
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:30.519
you don't see that in the other
place. You don't see it at all.

605
00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:32.400
You don't see any of that.
And like FTR, I see where

606
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:36.760
they can mesh them because FTR tries
to do the same thing, or that's

607
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:38.400
what they used to be when they
first came in. They wanted to be

608
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:42.400
you know, we're the tag team
that does things the way you're supposed to

609
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:45.519
hold the tag groupe. Yeah,
you know, that was what they were.

610
00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.760
They're gone, I can see.
I don't mind Eddie. I mean

611
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:52.440
I kind of figured when it gave
the when he put the two titles up,

612
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:55.239
that he was gonna win him again
in the Continental Classic, which kind

613
00:52:55.239 --> 00:53:00.639
of took away from the Continental Classic
for me because it was pretty much was

614
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:04.360
preordained as soon as you got how
many matches did they have? Twenty five

615
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.519
matches, but you all know that
he's gonna win. So that kind of

616
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:12.519
was a you know, next year
they're gonna have it so that the aw

617
00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:16.880
champ, whoever they aw champ is, is in the tournament. That's that's

618
00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:20.039
what they said they're gonna do.
I don't know. I like, I

619
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:23.360
don't mind Eddie. I like his
promos because and that's the other thing he's

620
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:27.840
kind of like to me, he
kind of reminds me of what like,

621
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:34.639
uh, Dusty Rhodes was he does
there his promos don't try to over impress

622
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:38.280
people. He just he's trying to
be that blue collar work guy and trying

623
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:42.840
to hit the ish, and I
think that's what he does. He's a

624
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.639
popular guy. I mean, there's
no denying that people love Eddie. They

625
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:50.119
love him, But you know,
I don't know. I wasn't really that

626
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:53.480
big a fan of FTR when they
first started either, but they've kind of

627
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:57.719
grown on me a little bit.
Yeah, you know the thing here,

628
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:02.239
Look, I say earlier in the
show that I suck at predictions, but

629
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:07.239
I I picked Eddie Kingston to win
the tournament, and I also predicted him

630
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.960
to lose his first match in the
tournament. I did not. I took

631
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:15.719
me to my surprise that he lost
the second match in the tournament, the

632
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:22.719
Continental Classic. But yeah, I
mean it was just written on the wall.

633
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:28.440
And you know, I'm Brian Danielson's
blood that that Eddie Kingston was goin

634
00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:34.320
that tournament from the very get go. I just I don't know if I

635
00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:37.719
want to spare Bessy Rose myself,
that's a long shot, But I was

636
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:45.000
I remember watching in the eighties and
I don't remember wrestler's acting like wrestling the

637
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:50.320
same way that Eddie Kingston did,
So I don't know. You know,

638
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:54.719
Eddie Kingston has a look of an
eighties wrestler or the late seventies early early

639
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:59.079
eighties wrestler. But here's the point. You know, this is one thing

640
00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:02.840
you said that that you know he
was like a throwback to the eighties wrestlers.

641
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:07.079
No, he isn't, because there's
eighties wrestlers that are on the aw

642
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:13.559
roster all a lot better. You're
right, But there's one thing. But

643
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:15.800
one thing I gotta say about that, though, is this he is still

644
00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:20.480
a throwback because think, go back
to the eighties, you had a you

645
00:55:20.719 --> 00:55:22.679
were playing a character. He's playing
a character. He's not. I mean,

646
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:28.880
he's playing himself, but he's almost
a larger than life character street guy.

647
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:32.159
That's where he's supposed to be.
And there were more guys like Eddie

648
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:37.039
in the eighties than there were guys
that were superstars like and even like the

649
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:42.119
superstars like Cogan. Hogan couldn't wrestle
to save his ass. He had four

650
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:47.480
movies. Well so does Kingston,
but Kingston's. But the difference is Kingston's

651
00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:52.079
kind of like your jobber who got
lucky. He's kind of like a bawler

652
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.280
they gave a title to. I
mean exactly, that's that's who we reminded

653
00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:59.880
me of. It was the Brooklyn
Brawler. Yeah, I can see that.

654
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:05.800
Yep, answer your question that.
I'm sure you're glad that you asked

655
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:10.440
it. Yeah, Yeah, I
like to know the other side of the

656
00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:15.519
fence. So yeah, I am, I am glad, and I appreciate

657
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:22.880
everyone's opinions. I think you all
are wrong. But heyt List, you

658
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:31.280
didn't calls idiots. No, I
that's that was good. I like that.

659
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:36.239
That was funny. I'm a man, damn it. I'm preordained to

660
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:40.000
be wrong, especially when a woman
asked me a question. Oh, it's

661
00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:47.840
like I can't I succumb to the
pressure. Well, look, Alex,

662
00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:52.559
let me ask you a question.
We got will Osprey coming to make an

663
00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:57.840
appearance tomorrow night. Let's just do
a short prediction here. We have a

664
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:00.440
we have a topic on the a
w fat up subber adit right now,

665
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:07.039
and basically the question is is will
Osprey going to turn on the don Cows

666
00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:12.440
family? And it just seems almost
use this tarb again preordained that he is,

667
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:15.960
uh, But then some people are
saying that maybe he won't and Taqushta

668
00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:22.119
will turn on the kylis Hemily.
Now we know that Takeshta and Ausbury are

669
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:25.079
going to have a match at Revolution, but we're not going to talk about

670
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:29.159
that right now. We're going to
talk about tomorrow night. Do you think

671
00:57:29.199 --> 00:57:34.000
that we may see signs of him? Maybe a face turn from will Osprey

672
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:37.960
tomorrow night. Yeah, I think
yeah. Like that's the big question is

673
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:45.320
when he shows up, is he
telling the crowd off. I think we

674
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:52.039
saw him on Twitter he said he's
coming to Huntsville but with the c Yeah,

675
00:57:52.639 --> 00:57:59.760
so that that implies that don't play
hell yeah, that's play yield turn.

676
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:04.679
Uh yeah. So I think,
yeah, we're going to see some

677
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:13.039
heel tendencies from him coming in tomorrow
night. But I think I can see

678
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:17.239
that quickly going the other way and
him becoming more of a faith So that's

679
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:22.880
kind of my prediction. Yeah,
I mean like that. Would you agree

680
00:58:22.920 --> 00:58:30.199
that with the popularity and the anticipation
of will Osprey that is good. This

681
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:32.000
is what a lot of people are
saying, you know, in the community,

682
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:37.920
that having will Osbury come in as
a heel would be a missed opportunity

683
00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:45.000
for some excitement. I don't think
so. I think he can be exciting

684
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:52.480
as a heel. I mean,
and it keeps you wondering what he's going

685
00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:55.239
to do next. You know,
is this going to be the week that

686
00:58:55.440 --> 00:59:01.280
he betrays someone? You know?
Is is this the week he's going to

687
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:07.079
show what he's really up to?
It? No, I I think he'd

688
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:12.079
be fine as a heel coming into
it. I think he can pull it

689
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.280
off. Okay, so you think
he could pull it off, But do

690
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:24.159
you want him to be a heel? I wouldn't mind it, Okay,

691
00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:29.719
I wouldn't mind it. Yeah.
I think the one thing to me is

692
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:35.199
that we have a lot of heels, and especially like top of the card

693
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:42.360
heels in a w like this,
this triple threat match Samoa Joe Adam Page.

694
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:49.480
If if he's there and swerve,
they're basically all heels right them right

695
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:55.960
now. And he just like broke
into someone's house and threatened Adam Page's house.

696
00:59:57.159 --> 01:00:01.719
I don't call him less of a
heel, but yeah, so there's

697
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:07.639
really room for will Aspray to be
a big time facing aw. That's just

698
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:15.880
kind of how I'm seeing it right
Well, you know, go ahead,

699
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.159
that go ahead. Oh. I
was going to say, Hangman isn't quite

700
01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:27.199
a heel yet either, So I
don't know. Hangman is still kind of

701
01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:31.000
on the fence, and I think
he doesn't. He have an announcement tomorrow.

702
01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:37.320
Yeah, we'll talk about that.
We will talk about that. I

703
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:39.639
wanted to ask Sutton a question because
Sutton and I are of the same age,

704
01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:44.519
and he watched a lot of the
older wrestlers. And I don't know

705
01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:47.559
if you had the same experience as
I do, but back when I started

706
01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:52.960
watching wrestling, you could have eight
championship belts in a promotion, and the

707
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:58.760
heels had pretty much all eight of
them. It was a heel dominated world.

708
01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:02.079
And for the longest time in AW
you would have with the I think

709
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:06.880
seven championship belts at AW has.
I may be wrong there it was only

710
01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:10.920
like two heels that had belts,
so well, I'm of the mind you're

711
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:14.440
right that was what it was like. I mean, you had Okay,

712
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:17.920
I can think back to those days
when Bruno San Martino was a face.

713
01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:25.360
You know, there's that's pretty much
the only one that had a belt forever

714
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:30.920
that was a face. Back in
those days, you had Harley Race probably

715
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:36.440
next to Flair, was probably the
second most dirtiest player in the game,

716
01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:42.320
and Race held it was everywhere.
You know. My problem with AW and

717
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:44.760
my son and I talk about this
all the time, there are way too

718
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:50.480
many heels in AW. You have
you have eighty five percent of the roster

719
01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:55.239
or heels, and you can't you
can't keep putting on good shows if everybody's

720
01:01:55.280 --> 01:02:00.519
a heel, because if you have
so many heels, then you start having

721
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:02.760
the people really get by. Like
the only person I can think of that

722
01:02:04.039 --> 01:02:07.679
actually pulled it off the best was
Stone Cold. He was healed, but

723
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:13.079
everybody treated him his face. He
was still over. But when you've got

724
01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:15.480
like at the time you were talking
about, you had Jade car Gill,

725
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:22.679
you had Britt Baker, you had
uh trying to think of the back when

726
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:27.679
those two were champions, who was
the tag team champions? But in the

727
01:02:27.719 --> 01:02:32.079
women's division, they kind of did
that with those two as heels. They

728
01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:36.199
weren't good at it and it kind
of ruined those titles for a little while.

729
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:39.199
And then you know, if you
have so many, that's just like

730
01:02:39.239 --> 01:02:43.679
the whole thing with the tag team
titles. I don't see them. You

731
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:45.679
know, nobody wants to see the
Bucks happening because the Bucks don't need them

732
01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:50.960
putting. Like normally, if you're
retiring, you want to wrestle somebody that

733
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:53.639
you that needs put over, to
put them you know, get that last

734
01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:58.480
loss, put them over and move
on. There's nothing gained in that.

735
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:02.039
If anybody, anybody that the Bucks
wrestle is going to be put over though,

736
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:06.199
that's what they do. No,
no, no, I'm saying that

737
01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:09.360
you don't have any reasons for Sting
to lose to the Bucks, right,

738
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:13.119
you know what I'm saying, Yeah, you don't they they Sting doesn't need

739
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:15.920
to lose to put the Bucks over. The Bucks are already over regardless of

740
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:17.800
how you run them. Now,
if he was going up against Starks and

741
01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:22.480
Big Bill, I can see him
losing that match because that puts Starks and

742
01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:25.960
Big Bill over and go from there. But you're I disagree with you because

743
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:32.199
if Stark's a big Bill win that
that match, they're nowhere near as good

744
01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:37.320
as the Bucks. And the Bucks
could then put anybody that challenges them over,

745
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:40.639
whereas Starks a Big Bill simply would
not be able to do that.

746
01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:46.280
Yeah. I get that, but
yeah, I'm not thinking ahead of that

747
01:03:46.360 --> 01:03:50.519
match. I'm just thinking that last
match. But you're right about the number

748
01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:53.320
of the Heels being champions. I
mean, Chris Jericho, second guy to

749
01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:57.639
win, was a Heel. He
wanted he wanted to. He won the

750
01:03:57.639 --> 01:04:00.920
original aw championship. He was the
first. So you had a Heege champ

751
01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:05.639
from the beginning. And then you
know Keny Omega is kind of a tweener.

752
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:10.320
The Bucks, depending on which way
they want to go, are tweeners.

753
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:15.159
I mean it's a lot different now
than it was back then, right

754
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:17.880
because back you were cut, you're
either he or face. There wasn't no

755
01:04:17.960 --> 01:04:21.639
in between. Right. Let me
let me let me go ahead and get

756
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:26.199
m K in here so he can
get his two cents in. I don't

757
01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:32.159
need lit Osprey to be a John
Cena baby pace, but I think you

758
01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:41.159
could prow the line of like MJS
did and be a Marmie jerk or whatever

759
01:04:41.960 --> 01:04:45.960
word that they would use over there
in England. But uh, you know,

760
01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:48.920
he's good enough that he would say
I'm good enough, you know,

761
01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:51.360
prove it in the ring type of
guy. But he doesn't need to be

762
01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:57.079
a John Cena baby face. The
baby face run for him and kind of

763
01:04:57.119 --> 01:05:01.800
breaking away in like United Kingdom or
or whatever it called his group, UH

764
01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:11.880
run with him and break away from
uh Pallas would be great. Yeah,

765
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:15.599
okay, So the last thing on
the agenda to talk about tonight, I

766
01:05:16.360 --> 01:05:19.719
want to I want to try to
wrap this up pretty soon. So we're

767
01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:23.760
just going to skip ahead too,
and Adam Page is going to make his

768
01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:28.840
announcement of his intentions or his status
for Revolution, if you guys aren't aware

769
01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:34.719
of it. He hurt his ankle
in his last match, was reported that

770
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:40.519
he was fine, and the reason
why he hurt his ankle was because some

771
01:05:40.679 --> 01:05:46.320
kind of personal issue may have may
preclude him from participating in Revolution. Frankly

772
01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:53.719
speaking, whenever they do this,
Alex, it usually means that he's gonna

773
01:05:53.719 --> 01:05:57.440
announce that he's not going to be
there. What do you think, uh

774
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:02.000
Kelson? I think I would be
really disappointed if he's not in this match,

775
01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:06.679
because you know, they've been setting
up the whole Swerve versus Hangman.

776
01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:14.360
Hangman's like so angry at Swerve for
all the horrible things he's done to him

777
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:17.119
and now he wants to cost him
the title. It all, by all

778
01:06:17.119 --> 01:06:23.440
means like that's kind of the whole
reason for this world title feud. So

779
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:28.480
if Hangman's not a part of it
and it's just Swerve versus Samoa Joe,

780
01:06:28.559 --> 01:06:32.199
that's still like a cool match and
maybe Swerve wins, but I don't know,

781
01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:35.360
just take a lot away from the
match. So I'd be pretty disappointed.

782
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:47.599
I can see sorry that throw me
off a second. I can see

783
01:06:47.840 --> 01:06:55.679
I can see Hangman taking an injury
and then coming back in the match and

784
01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:59.960
Austin for the match because he said
he will do it anything in all costs

785
01:07:00.039 --> 01:07:05.519
to make sure. So if he's
taking an injury or or whatever, I

786
01:07:05.519 --> 01:07:12.599
could see him do that as well. Yeah, I can. I can

787
01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:19.320
say that. What about you,
Nett? Yeah, I think Hangman is

788
01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:29.000
going to do something to Swerve.
I think Swerve is his target, and

789
01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:33.039
yeah, I think he he may
act like he's not going to participate in

790
01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:41.559
that match and just come out of
left field and maybe call cost Swerve the

791
01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:46.840
match against Samoa Joe. But I'm
I don't know. It's been hard to

792
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:56.320
tell with with Hangman because he seems
to be going through something so right,

793
01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:01.400
I don't know, he's he's emotional. Yeah, an AA meeting that night,

794
01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:05.760
and he may not be able to
make the show. Oh lord,

795
01:08:10.039 --> 01:08:14.880
it's true anyway, it could be
true. SD. What do you got

796
01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:19.239
for us, Bud? I don't
know. Uh, I'm not really liking

797
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:24.680
the way they're going with Hangman.
I just don't like the character the direction

798
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:27.600
of his character is going. But
I do think that's that's a very big

799
01:08:27.640 --> 01:08:30.600
possibility that he's going to come out
tomorrow night. You say, I've heard

800
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:33.199
my ankle. I got to do
this, and then on Sunday he's going

801
01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:41.680
to show up and screw uh in
the match. If he's not in the

802
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:46.640
match, I swear winning. Yeah. Well, we will talk about our

803
01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:53.600
predictions for the full card, because
I'm hoping that they announce more matches tomorrow

804
01:08:53.720 --> 01:08:58.920
night for a Revolution, especially like
I really do think that what match is

805
01:08:58.920 --> 01:09:02.319
a possibility actually for something like zero
hour would be Brian Gage against Hook for

806
01:09:02.439 --> 01:09:06.760
the FTW title. So, but
we're gonna wrap this up, but before

807
01:09:06.800 --> 01:09:10.960
we go, I did want to
take a couple of minutes to make it

808
01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:16.119
a little bit of a personal statement. Yesterday we lost a true legend in

809
01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:20.520
the wrestling ring. Ole Anderson passed
away at the age of eighty one.

810
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:29.720
He was for this old guy.
He was a mainstay on my TV on

811
01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:36.079
Saturdays on TBS when I was watching
Georgia Championship Wrestling, a great heel,

812
01:09:39.119 --> 01:09:45.119
a good promo in the years when
promos just were everything because they just didn't

813
01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:53.079
wrestle that much back then. And
you know what, I love to hate

814
01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:59.039
Ole Anderson. I love to hate
Oi and Gen Anderson and Lars Anderson and

815
01:10:00.119 --> 01:10:05.159
arn Anderson. I love to hate
the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. I loved Larsen,

816
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:13.239
loved Ollie Anderson, and as a
wrestler, there was none better what

817
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:17.000
he did. You may or may
not agree with what he believed in inside

818
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:25.279
his own home, but in the
ring he was a master. Thank you,

819
01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:30.760
Olie. You'll be missed. And
that is how we're gonna wrap things

820
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:36.560
up on Ignition. Thank you guys
for coming. We'll see you tomorrow night.

821
01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:44.239
So for this episode, this is
Kelson Alex. Good night, everybody,

822
01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:47.319
good night, good night.
