WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.160
It's Tuesday night. You know what
that means. It's time for ignition with

2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.439
AW fan hub. I'm Kelson and
I'm here with Alex. I don't know

3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.280
how to even I don't even know
how to begin because it's so preposterous.

4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.679
Yeah, it's stupid, you know, it's it's aggravating. Look, I'm

5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:31.120
of course talking about the body shaming
and even the body worshiping of the wrestlers,

6
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.240
not only in AAW but everywhere.
I mean, it's it doesn't even

7
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.640
have to do with wrestling, it
could be anything. But Deanna Barrazzo made

8
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.880
her your debut on Collision against Red
Velvet, and look, I'm not going

9
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.880
to sugarcoat it was just a shit
storm. Would you agree with this?

10
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.960
I mean, I don't know how
to begin. Yeah, I think I

11
00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.359
guess what happened on Instagram was just
so many negative comments about Deanna Prott those

12
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.000
body or weight and I didn't even
see them. I just read about after

13
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:10.760
the fact that AW had to actually
shut down their Instagram comments and even Deanna

14
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.239
Parozzo had to respond to it.
Yeah, and I think it's just awful,

15
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.879
and it's she didn't have to respond
to it, and I respect her

16
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.480
for doing it, because it was
so stupid you shouldn't even give it the

17
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:29.400
time of day. Yeah, And
I thought her response was very you know,

18
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:36.000
it was almost like humorous, like
taken very well, taken in stride,

19
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.120
and she looked really good, I
thought her response to it. And

20
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:46.799
it's unfortunate that she even has to
respond. Frankly, Yeah, I mean

21
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.760
look ed. We're kind of narrowly
down to Deanna Parozzo here, and I

22
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.040
really don't want to do that because, let's face it, it's not even

23
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.159
a men or a women thing.
It's it's ghost to the men too,

24
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:06.439
because they get just as much flack. Look, you know, I'm just

25
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.000
so dumbfounded by this. I don't
know where to begin, So I'm just

26
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:15.599
gonna lay it out there. You
watch wrestling. I watch wrestling personally.

27
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.439
I watch wrestling for what wrestling.
I enjoy the stories, of course,

28
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.560
and I enjoy the wrestling. If
a wrestler could wrestle, I really don't

29
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.039
care if they have a pretty or
handsome face. I don't care if they

30
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:37.199
have an eight pack, six pack
or whatever. If they can wrestle,

31
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:43.719
they can wrestle. I don't understand
this. And then you have these people

32
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.000
to come onto the internet and look, they should just make Hey, if

33
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:53.039
you're gonna say something about body shaming
or body worshiping this because when I'm talking

34
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.840
about body worshiping, they people will
say, oh, I would love to

35
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.039
get that in this. You know
what I mean. I mean, like

36
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.080
you stand a shot in the world
of doing that. People should be required

37
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.280
to post their pictures or the naked
body when you make comments like that,

38
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.919
you see, you know what I
mean. It's ridiculous. Yeah, yeah,

39
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:19.439
And it's almost surprising from wrestling fans
because wrestling fans aren't generally I think

40
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.919
the popular kids in high school,
like you think they'd have a little bit

41
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.199
more common sense and be able to
look at themselves in the mirror and be

42
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.800
like, why am I holding other
people up to these unrealistic standards? Yeah,

43
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.560
I mean I made this. Look. We had an interview. It's

44
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:45.360
on the aw fan hub subreddit right
now. It was a post that I

45
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.199
made with an interview that somebody did
with Eddie Kingston, and I apologize for

46
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.680
not remembering who. But he deleted
his Twitter account not recently but fairly recently,

47
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.680
like within the last year, and
they interviewed him. They asked him

48
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:04.879
why deleted his account, and he
was specifically talked about the things that were

49
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:10.800
being said about ReHO. God,
yeah, you know. Now, look,

50
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.240
let me lay this out to you, and I'm gonna use myself as

51
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:21.399
this example. Okay, is Riho
smaller than I am? Yes? Okay,

52
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.000
she's small. She's small, Okay, And she's a lot smaller than

53
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:33.519
I am. That being said,
she is a better wrestler than I would

54
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:41.639
ever be. If you're coming down
and you're putting your opinion on Riho saying

55
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.839
she can't wrestle because she's too small
and she weighs under one hundred pounds,

56
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.519
get your ass in the ring against
Riho and see what happens. She'll run

57
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.199
circles around, You'll be exhausted at
about thirty seconds, and then she'll kick

58
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.920
you in the freaking face and it's
done. Yeah. Yeah. And And

59
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:08.319
I think taking that example of people
saying someone's too small, like you look

60
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.839
at Hook and Hooks wrestling Samoa Joe
and Hook's a smaller guy. But if

61
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.199
he can pick up Samoa Joe and
suplex him, then what does his size

62
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:25.079
matter at all? Like it doesn't. And if someone's you know, a

63
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:30.600
bigger person and they can last a
whole match. They have the agility,

64
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.879
like they have the ability. It
doesn't matter what someone looks like or it

65
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.639
just matters what they can do in
the ring. And I think we all

66
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.079
need to and I'm guilty of it
too. I think I've been a little

67
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.920
bit overly critical in my head sometimes
about Brian Keith just because he's a little

68
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.160
bit on the shorter side, And
I need to even remind myself, like

69
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.519
that doesn't matter if he can do
the things he does in the ring.

70
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.120
Like we need to stop judging people
based on how they look. There are

71
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.279
different types of wrestlers. You'll agree
with this on you know, you've got

72
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:14.519
technical wrestlers, You've got lucha libre
wrestlers. You've got the heavyweights. You've

73
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.600
got the guys that look like they
don't leave the gym but only to sleep.

74
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.360
Yeah, you know Brian Cage,
Tony Nice. Yeah, I'd even

75
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.120
put Ethan Page in that They're all
going to have different styles of wrestling.

76
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.800
You look at somebody like Keith Lee
and you just looking at him without seeing

77
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.720
him wrestle at all, just looking
at him, there is no way you

78
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.639
would I believe most people won't believe
what that man is able to do in

79
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.279
the ring, you know, But
it's as simple as that. But let's

80
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.040
say that Keith Lee couldn't do what
he does in the ring, and I

81
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:54.720
mean talking about jumping over the top
rope and all that crazy stuff that he

82
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:03.600
does. He's still a wrestler that
could squad pretty much anybody their wrestling ring

83
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:11.680
that makes these comments on social media. It's preposterous. These people are spewing

84
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.639
off at the mouth and they have
no wrestling knowledge other than oh, I've

85
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.199
been watching it on TV since you
know, I was twelve years old.

86
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:28.319
A big deal. You have no
training. M It's now. Sure there

87
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:34.199
are people that probably do have boxing
training or whatever, but guess what,

88
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:44.959
your opinion still doesn't matter because it's
it's far fetched. You look on behalf

89
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.399
of the internet wrestling community that has
two working brain cells. Anyone that has

90
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:55.800
more than two working brain cells will
know that what everybody said about Diana Parazzo

91
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.120
was totally wrong and preposterous. And
I hope that you agree with that.

92
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.959
I know you do, yeah,
yeah, absolutely, And it's just sad

93
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.399
and I feel bad for the wrestlers
that have to put themselves out there on

94
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.800
Instagram to try to, you know, build a fan base, but then

95
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:20.000
also at the same time they're subjecting
themselves to just stupid cowards who just stay

96
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.480
under the guise of anonymity like whatever
they think that they can get away with.

97
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.800
Uh. Yeah, it's it's sad. It's just sad. If you've

98
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.879
ever seen the movie Idiocracy, this
is what it reminds me of this kind

99
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:37.759
of talk. It's just yeah,
look, I don't want to talk about

100
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.720
this anymore because I'm just gonna get
more and more pissed off. You don't

101
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.440
want my med Italian to come out. Mm hmm. You know, it's

102
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.440
just one of those like so I'm
gonna take some deep breasts and Alex,

103
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:58.000
what do you want to talk about? Yeah, I guess maybe we can

104
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.679
just go through some highlights from the
weekend of wrestling from I thought they put

105
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.519
on a great show on Saturday with
Collision and Battle of the Belts. Sometimes

106
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.679
you don't know what to expect going
in, but I thought especially Battle of

107
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.200
the Belts really kind of surprised me. But yeah, I just thought it

108
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.759
was a great night of wrestling.
I think the first thing that I want

109
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.120
to talk about was the cope open. I don't know if you have any

110
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:31.279
thoughts about the cope open. I
really don't. I don't like it,

111
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:39.320
you know, I really I don't
like it because you're wasting cope. I

112
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.559
think to me, it's I imagine
that it was probably Adam Copeland's idea,

113
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.879
and I think it's like a way
to get him working with some younger guys

114
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.639
that otherwise he's probably not going to
have a chance to wrestle with. You

115
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.200
know, first week we saw Griff
Garrison kind of come out of nowhere,

116
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.039
and I thought giving him a little
mic time and a match, and I

117
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.720
thought he looked good and I thought
that was fun. Here here's my problem

118
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.559
with it. So Adam Copland thought
had a match against Lee Moriarty. Yeah,

119
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.320
is that right? Yeah? Shaneler
Promotions, Shane Taylor Promotions. It

120
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.720
was the opening match of the night, was it not? Wasn't? I

121
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.039
think it was the very I think
it started things off. Yeah, I

122
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.559
think you're right. I you know, having Adam Copeland come out that was

123
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.600
good. But I just can't see
people sticking around on TV with everything else

124
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.440
was going on to see Lee Moriarty
at Adam Copeland. I'm sorry when when

125
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:48.879
you're trying to build something your first
match, you can't put a squash match

126
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.919
in your first match. Yeah,
yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, I

127
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.840
see what you're saying, and I
think I even had the same thought.

128
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:05.480
Especially Yeah Lee Moriarity, he hasn't
been very successful in aw It's same with

129
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.840
Shane Taylor and having them both out
there, it's great that they get the

130
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:16.200
opportunity to try to do something.
But leading leading with that, I see

131
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.080
why you'd have a problem with that. I want to go back to what

132
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.200
you originally started this discussion off with. Was I got the impression and correct

133
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.960
me if I'm wrong, please that
you thought Battle the Belts was a better

134
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:39.000
show than Collision. Yeah. Like
I would say the last thirty minutes of

135
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.360
Collision was probably the highlight of the
night for me, because I love FTR

136
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.960
and I love the House of Black, and when I realized that they were

137
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.200
coming out with like thirty minutes left
and that they were going to get like

138
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.320
time to put on an awesome match, and I thought they completely delivered.

139
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.200
But other than that, I thought
up to that point it was kind of

140
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.799
like a mediocre show for me.
I mean, there was a couple,

141
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.080
so, I mean it was nice
with the ottoparazzo and red velvet. You

142
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.559
know. Yeah, it was a
cool match. It was a cool It

143
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.240
was a cool match. But yeah, the House of Black and FTR just

144
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.840
tore the place apart. That was
That was the best part. Yeah,

145
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.159
of collision, and then we went
right at the Battle of the Belts with

146
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.559
that street fight that actually took place
in the street for like pent of it.

147
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.240
I was like, you know,
I thought that match was just over

148
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.360
the top five. Yeah, like
any other night, that would have been

149
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.879
the best match. But I love
FTR and getting them did wrestle for thirty

150
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.399
minutes is awesome. But yeah,
that street fight was was wild. That

151
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:58.759
that spot with uh them wrecking Ret
Titus's car, well yeah, they're really

152
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.559
doing the whole windshield stick for bleeding
it for all the money it's worth,

153
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.519
aren't they? Yeah? Yeah for
sure. Yeah, no, don't park

154
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.240
your cars near an aw arena for
sure. How about that bump that Semi

155
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.519
Gafara took. Oh my god,
geez, I'm like, you go on

156
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.879
Twitter and you go on Instagram.
You know, whether you like Semmi Guevar

157
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.960
or not. You could tell that
people are like, hey, do you

158
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.639
do know that you just haven't had
had a kid. Why are you trying

159
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.639
to kill yourself? You know,
you know, it's just like people are

160
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.639
like really worried for Semi. Gafar's
like he said he was gonna take be

161
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.440
more careful. Yeah, well you
threw that out the window in his second

162
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.320
match back right. Yeah, And
like you know, they say to save

163
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.720
your big bumps for big moments,
and this is not, by any means

164
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.320
a big show. It's not a
pay per view, it's not even a

165
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.639
Dynamite. It's the hour after collision
on Battle of the Best. And he's

166
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:05.159
like, yeah, wow, he's
a wild man. Yeah. Well,

167
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.799
you know I will say this is
that the FDR and House a black match,

168
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.639
and the Texas not the Texas.
Everything seems like it's Texas at aw.

169
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.919
The street fight wasn't a Texas street
fight. It was just a street

170
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.440
fight. Those did seem like pay
per view matches to me. Those are

171
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.799
more more like pay per view matches
than most a lot of the matches that

172
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:31.559
were our World's End Yeah, yeah, for sure, Like and I was

173
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.759
disappointed at worlds End we didn't get
an FTR house. The Black Match and

174
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.399
they really made up for it,
like giving them thirty minutes just to go

175
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.519
out there and just tear the house
down. And that match just kept going.

176
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.840
It had like different valleys and peaks, and by the end, like

177
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.159
I had no idea who was gonna
win, and House the Black winning was

178
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.399
great, and yeah, I love
that match and Buddy Matthews got the pin.

179
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.240
Buddy Matthews is like to me,
I look at Buddy Matthews as this

180
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.559
great wrestler who has his duty is
to get this to eat pins. Whatever

181
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.960
the House of Black loses, it's
Buddy Matthews. It eats the pin and

182
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.120
he never gets the pit. He
finally got a pin. I was so

183
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.799
happy for Buddy Matthews. Buddy Matthews
is incredible, Like, yeah, he's

184
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.559
If I had to fight anyone in
ad W, I think the last person

185
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.120
I would want to fight is Buddy
Matthews. He's so strong and quick,

186
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:41.840
and he just doesn't look happy.
He haird that persona. I mean,

187
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.240
he's got his character down because he
always looks absolutely busible. I think he's

188
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.759
got a splitter on the bottom of
his foot. Yeah, and I think

189
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.159
he probably realizes he doesn't have the
tattoos that the other guys have, so

190
00:15:54.240 --> 00:16:00.879
he has to really double down on
looking bad or angry whole time. Your

191
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.000
word. Not the first person that
said that. Yeah, somebody said that

192
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.919
over the weekend in our live chat, going to make up. Yeah,

193
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.799
so let's what do you want to
talk about next, Alex, Let's keep

194
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.879
this ball rolling. Yeah? Sure, so so the next thing I prepared.

195
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:22.480
And I think faction has been a
big talking point, and and it

196
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.639
seems like the number of factions just
keeps on going up and up in aew

197
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:32.480
without any signs of slowing down.
And we've seen like Acclaimed and Bullet Club

198
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:38.759
Gold talking about the importance of factions
and then possibly joining ups Gang. Yeah,

199
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.759
yeah, Bank Bank Scissor Gang exactly. Yeah. I thought it'd be

200
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.000
fun if we Yeah, I just
went back and forth and picked out who

201
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:56.000
we think are the best factions in
ae W. Sounds good, so yeah,

202
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.919
I I I'm thinking we start off
you give me who you think is

203
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:06.240
the best faction and who you think
is your favorite faction. So the best

204
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.559
faction, like, who's the top
faction in ae W? But then who

205
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:17.160
is your favorite You know, there's
two factions really that stand out to me,

206
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:22.200
and they're kind of equal favorites.
But I will say, from top

207
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:29.119
to bottom, I'm going to go
House of Black as my number one pick.

208
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:33.200
The reason for that is, from
top to bottom, even Julia Hart,

209
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.440
she's a TBS champion. You got
these three guys and Julia that are

210
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:47.839
just good. My second would be
the Blackpool Combat Club kind of the same

211
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:52.000
thing. But I hate to say
this, but Wheeler Yuda is probably not

212
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.240
quite up to the standards of Julia
Hart as far as you know, the

213
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.519
success and the character and everything like
that. But I I do believe he

214
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.480
will get there. And that's not
a dig on on on you. I

215
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.119
just think that it. Uh,
that's it's all. I would go.

216
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.519
House of Black is number one,
and uh closely followed by the black Pool

217
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:18.440
Cowby Club. What about you?
Yeah, no, that's that is exactly

218
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.160
my two picks, because How's the
Black? I don't How's the Black.

219
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:30.319
I feel like they've been a bit
hard done by. They deserve so much

220
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.200
more in my opinion, and they've
been a little bit stop and start.

221
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.680
But to me, that's my favorite
three guys. Well, how Black can't

222
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.960
stay healthy? That's the problem with
House of Black. I guess. Yeah.

223
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.359
We had Brody King break his hand, and Malachi's had his back issues,

224
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.440
and Eddie had a toward muscle in
his calf I think was his most

225
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.519
recent of course. Uh, Buddy
Matthews had a separated shoulder. Oh yeah,

226
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.200
yeah. But I mean even if
one guy's injured, you just put

227
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.480
the other two guys in a tag
team and you still have Julia with them.

228
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.720
Like, and my favorite thing about
House of Black is just I don't

229
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.400
know how many songs they have,
three, four, maybe even five between

230
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.920
the four of them, right,
all of them I love, especially I

231
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.559
mean Malachi Black's original song that they
come out to. I think when it's

232
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.359
him and Buddy is a tag team
still yeah, yeah, but yeah,

233
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:32.680
for sure, House of Black's my
favorite. I don't think that they're they're

234
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:38.599
not the top team because I think
if House of Black faced the Blackpool Combat

235
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.000
Club in a three on three match, I would I would bet on the

236
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.240
Blackpool Combat Club to win, just
based on how the shows go, you

237
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:55.640
know, right, Well, my
reason for the back love for saying House

238
00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:02.799
of Black over to Blackpool Combat Club
is because I just enjoyed the dark psychological

239
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.960
warfare that they do MM which Black
Book Comback Club does it too, but

240
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:12.640
House of Black just takes it to
another level. Yeah, And sometimes we

241
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.559
get too much of the House of
Black talking and saying cryptic, scary stuff

242
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:26.319
and it doesn't lead anywhere. But
having the House of Black threatening Dax's daughter

243
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.519
and that stuff in playing better mind
games than I think we've seen them with

244
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:38.200
some of their other feuds. I
actually, you know, also the stuff

245
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.000
with Daddy Ass going back to their
feud with the Acclaimed, that was pretty

246
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.480
good too. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I mean I love House of

247
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.839
Black. They're for my top group
in AW definitely, but I just feel

248
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.319
like I want them to get the
opportunity to shine even more, like on

249
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.319
pay per view. They weren't booked
at worlds End, right, No,

250
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:04.279
they weren't. Well what about what
about? Uh? So we kind of

251
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.960
agree on House of Black and Black
Hole combat Club. That's the top two.

252
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.039
I mean, although you may put
in Combat Club at BCC ahead of

253
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:15.359
House of Black. Uh what about
the third? Who would you put at

254
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:22.640
three? Yeah? Okay, I
have I have two picks. I'm gonna

255
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.839
come at it from different angles.
I think in terms of how they've been

256
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.279
treated and how they've been shown in
storylines and how I think they're going to

257
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.920
be created going forward. I think
Undisputed Kingdom I say that they're not my

258
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:45.000
favorite. I I am a little
bit hesitant of how they're going to be

259
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:51.480
going down the end of the future. But I think Undisputed Kingdom is gonna

260
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.240
be featured heavily on TV and they're
going to be winning a lot of matches

261
00:21:55.359 --> 00:22:00.160
and winning some titles, especially once
Adam Cole is healthy. I think that

262
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:06.680
top three of like Adam Cole,
Wardlow, Roderick Strong is a strong top

263
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.799
three for a for a stable.
But yeah, what are your thoughts on

264
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:18.000
that? I wouldn't even list the
Undispeeded Kingdom in my top five. And

265
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.279
the reason why is they haven't done
anything yet. Well, he won,

266
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:30.279
he did lead us on for months
and months attacking MJF and under masks,

267
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:37.640
and they did win a championship on
one against an injured foe with help.

268
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.880
I'm sorry that just did not impress
me too much. They honestly, they

269
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.039
haven't done anything as individually. Yes, they have done stuff. Wardlow has

270
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.400
been on a run. Roderick Strong, well, not so much. He's

271
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:56.240
gotten his butt handed to them quite
a bit. Here lately too. You

272
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:03.720
know the Kingdom Bag team. Not
impressed, Just be honest with you,

273
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:10.200
not impressed. They're the weakest link. Goodbye anything. Uh No, I

274
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.880
wouldn't even put but you said you
had you said, but you said you

275
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:17.400
had another one too. Yeah,
So that that's kind of my my pick

276
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.720
based on who I think is gonna
end up featured heavily and pushed and winning

277
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:30.160
matches. But my my pick would
be the Don Kallis family. I think

278
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.599
those three guys are and I'm leaving
off will Osprey because I don't know if

279
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.880
he's actually going to be part of
them going forward once he actually shows up.

280
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:47.759
But Kyle Fletcher, Powerhouse Hobbs,
and Kenoski Takeshta. Those guys are

281
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.880
all like future World Championship level guys
in my mind. And having them lose

282
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:57.599
to sting in Darby, I do
think hurts them last Dynamite, But those

283
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:06.039
three guys, I just think the
sky's the limit for them. Yeah.

284
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:08.559
I do think that Will ospro well
Osprey is still on the painting. He

285
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:19.319
is so right now. Don Kallis
Family are not in my top five with

286
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.960
will Osprey because the reason they're not
in my top five. Because I can't

287
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:32.640
come up with the top five.
I can only say here's the thing without

288
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.599
will Osprey, the Don Kallas family
really isn't that impressive because they haven't really

289
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:41.680
been used that much. Did beat
Kenny Omega that's like a title, that's

290
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:47.599
almost like an a W championship in
my opinion. Yeah, but that was

291
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:53.400
how long ago? And what has
he done since? Nothing other than Jericho

292
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.680
with a bat. Uh, Fletcher
has done nothing. He won the uh

293
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:06.839
the Rig of Honor TV Champion TV
Championship. It was really good. And

294
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.200
man Commander another guy. You know, we go back to the whole.

295
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:17.240
If Rio is a man, it
would be Commander. And he killed me

296
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.960
in a wrestling ring. And yet
people's at he's too small and shut up.

297
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.319
Anyway. Look, my whole thing
is like, look, the Don

298
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:32.960
Collis family needs will Osprey or they
need something else to go for them.

299
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:37.680
Uh, you know, they need
something to happen. And it's you know,

300
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:44.200
the same thing with the Undisputed Kingdom. They haven't really done anything.

301
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.039
As a fact. I don't go
by individuals here. I'm talking about as

302
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:53.559
a faction, as a faction,
Blackpool Combat Club, House of Black Work,

303
00:25:53.680 --> 00:26:00.720
as a faction don Kallis Family,
They're they're not focused. I'll just

304
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:06.759
Peter Kingdom haven't had a chance to
do anything yet. Look, ball Club

305
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:11.319
Gold is missing Juice Robinson. If
they do team up with the acclaim that

306
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:18.799
Daddy hasn't make that Bang Bang Scissor
Gang faction that they that has potential,

307
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.559
but it hasn't been reached yet.
He hasn't even been formed yet. You

308
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:30.160
know. It's kind of like the
Outcasts. To me, Outcasts had a

309
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:34.920
really really interesting dynamic. They had
a lot of potential and they didn't do

310
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.279
anything at all with it. So
I can't give credit where credit is due

311
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:45.480
until they actually do something to earn
the credit. So house a Black Blackpool

312
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:51.920
Combat Club for me, and then
three four five six whatever is dot dot

313
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.359
dot fill it in when it happens. Well, I think the one and

314
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.039
one that we forgot to mention or
we haven't mentioned yet. And I I

315
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.400
feel like, based on your criteria
for what makes a good faction, you

316
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:12.279
might be a fan of theirs.
The patriarchy, Well, the patriarchy is

317
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:18.880
uh, let's face it is that
what you're gonna think. Christian Cage and

318
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:26.319
Shana Wayne, I've done more than
kill Switch and Nick Wayne combined. Well,

319
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.160
yeah, Nick Wayne, I don't
think he's had a match and I

320
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:36.160
don't know how long. But yeah, it's like it's the same kill switches.

321
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.039
I love kill I love the dynamic
between Christian Cage and kill Switch.

322
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.839
And I'm excited to see where that
leads. Yeah, but you know,

323
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.680
would you agree that they've it's time
to see where that leads. I mean

324
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.799
it's kind of got on for too
long. Yeah, it has gone on

325
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.960
for a long time, and it's
almost like it was going they were seeming

326
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.480
like they were pulling the plug and
then they just stopped it and now they're

327
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:07.680
hinting at it again. And yeah, it is a little bit of like

328
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.599
bitter get off the pot, right. Yeah, Like I said, I've

329
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:17.200
said it and I'll stick by it. Also, Black Black Book, Copy

330
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:21.920
Club to me, are the only
two factions of no right now. There's

331
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.119
others that have tremendous potential, but
they haven't either done anything at all,

332
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.279
or they haven't done anything in a
while. I think the Undisputed Kingdom could

333
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.640
be great. I think the Bank
Bank saysor Gang could be great, but

334
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.920
they haven't done anything yet. You
know, that's my point I'm going by

335
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.440
now, there's really only two factions
that are doing anything to me for me,

336
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.720
Yeah, I see where you're coming
from. I think I think factions

337
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:55.039
do just play a prominent role in
AW and I think saying that they haven't

338
00:28:55.079 --> 00:29:00.559
done anything is a little bit tough
on them. But I do agree that

339
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.599
there is a clear cut two factions
that kind of rise above everybody else.

340
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.519
And I agree with you. Like, and I'm not a huge Blackpool Combat

341
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:15.160
Club fan. I don't really want
to see Mocks and Danielson and Claudia win

342
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:22.039
against more exciting, you know,
younger guys, but it's undeniable that they're

343
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.799
they're kind of three main event level
guys that are, you know, holding

344
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:33.480
it down and and House the black
is just they're my favorite. What can

345
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.640
I say? Yeah, I mean
it's as simple as that. You know.

346
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:45.839
Let's let's move on. Let's talk
about dynamite real quick, because uh,

347
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:53.000
well there's some I don't know how
to put it. Somebody's matches seem

348
00:29:53.839 --> 00:30:00.799
odd on dynamite. I mean they
just seem I'm not saying they're bad matches,

349
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:06.240
they just seem odd. Let's look
right away at Samoa Joe versus Hook.

350
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:08.599
I mean, Hook is the FTW
champion. Of course, Samoa Joe

351
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:19.680
is the AW World champion. I
just I don't see how Samo Joe's not

352
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:23.079
going to lose the belt the Hook, we know that. I mean,

353
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:33.400
what so the only point in this
match is for something to happen beyond the

354
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.119
match, you know what I mean? I honestly, I hope that this

355
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.640
doesn't even end in a pinfaller or
submission. I hope they go back and

356
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:48.759
forth for a little while and then
maybe Hook does a fireman's carry on Samoa

357
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:56.920
Joe to show that he's not a
small weak wrestler, and Samoa Joe escapes

358
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.519
from the you know, red rum, you know, to show that he

359
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.039
can not only put on a submission
hold, but could also get away from

360
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:11.279
one. But you know, you
got Adam Page waiting in the back back

361
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.920
there. You've got Swerve Strickland waiting
in the back back there, both of

362
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:21.319
whom, in my opinion, are
more deserving of a title shot that book,

363
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:27.640
especially Swerve Strickland, because we're beat
Hagman Page. Let's look at facts

364
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:32.160
here. Yeah, but I don't
think this. I don't think this match.

365
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.119
I think it would be best in
my what I'm hoping for is for

366
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:41.519
something to happen with Swerve and Hangman
before Hook gets submitted in the ring or

367
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.720
destroyed, or maybe they do a
KFE injury and some Ojoe goes to beat

368
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.200
him down. I don't know,
but I just don't want to see this

369
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:56.640
match, and I wanted to see
it be a no contest. Yeah,

370
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:02.880
I can't really see that happen.
I feel like AW doesn't do a lot

371
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:09.720
of no contest endings, especially for
like a big main event title match.

372
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.640
I don't I think it could be
interesting if they did. And obviously,

373
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:22.480
you know, Samoa Joe versus Hook
is not their main event program going forward,

374
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:27.000
and I don't see Hook being the
champion, So it's pretty much a

375
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.680
foregone conclusion that Samoa Joe is gonna
win here. Well, can I let

376
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:34.359
me ask you a question? Yeah, because you're the same thought that I

377
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:38.240
am that Hook is not gonna win. Does Hook gain anything at all by

378
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:45.200
losing this match? I think if
Hook, Like, we haven't seen a

379
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:50.559
lot of long matches from Hook,
we haven't seen a lot of important matches

380
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:54.200
from Hook. He's just kind of
he's been there. It was kind of

381
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:59.640
in the beginning, it was Wow, this guy actually can do some things,

382
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:05.920
and then he's just kind of not
really done anything too exciting since then,

383
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:10.599
and I think this is an opportunity
to just have him in the main

384
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:19.279
event, put on a longer match, hopefully show something that gets people excited

385
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:24.000
for the future. That's kind of
what I see this as, just being,

386
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:29.440
you know, a rub for Hook, but obviously he's gonna lose.

387
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.440
Yeah, I mean, I don't
see a world, you know, if

388
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:39.880
the multiverse was a real thing,
I don't see the need to mention where

389
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:44.640
Hook wins this match, so it'd
be interesting to see what they come up

390
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:46.839
with to make it interesting. Yeah. One other thing I think about this

391
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.680
match is they've been talking about,
you know, wins and losses should matter,

392
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.680
and Hook's one of those guys with
a lot of wins and not a

393
00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:00.759
lot of losses. So I think
part of putting him in this spot is

394
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:07.839
just showing that they're acknowledging records again, whereas they maybe weren't taking that into

395
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:17.000
consideration for the past year or so. Yeah. Well, I what I

396
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:22.159
think is, I really don't know
what they expect from this, but we're

397
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:27.039
gonna hear from Foolipe at Francois,
you know, otherwise known as the Young

398
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:32.639
Bucks because they completely changed their looks. I mean they look they look like

399
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:40.119
they look like, you know,
up tight Fred Chefs. I don't know

400
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:47.920
about you, but you so we're
getting We're getting the box against stake A

401
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:52.920
Darbiel and a Revolution. What do
you think? Just putting on the spot.

402
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.679
I want to hear what you think
about this? Yeah, I like

403
00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:00.639
it. I I think there was
and I think I mentioned this on the

404
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:04.519
last podcast, but I was a
little bit worried we were going to get

405
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:09.840
Les Sex Gods Chris Jericho versus Sting
in his last match, and I was

406
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:15.880
worried about that. And I feel
like this is a much more exciting match

407
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.960
and the Young Bucks are really going
to make Sting look good and put on

408
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:25.400
a very fun competitive match, and
I don't appreciate it. Do you see

409
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:30.840
any world where stak In, Darby
Allen lose this match. No. I

410
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:35.800
think if it was against you know, Keno, Skate Takeshta and Kyle Fletcher,

411
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:38.559
then I could see them losing in
the last match. But if it's

412
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:43.440
the Young but Young Bucks don't need
to win. They're founders of the company.

413
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:47.760
They're one hundred time titled holders.
They don't they don't need to win.

414
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:53.960
And yeah, there's no way that
thing in Darby lose. Yeah,

415
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:58.239
you know, I'm looking at it. You know, I've got real excited

416
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.239
about this match, But then when
I think about it, there's really not

417
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:06.440
anybody that I could think of to
put against Darby Allen and Sting that I

418
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:12.360
would be excited about. No,
I don't know. I don't know another

419
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.559
way to put it. I heard
it suggested, you know, Sting versus

420
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.039
Darby Allen in the last match.
There's no sense in making Darby Allen a

421
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:30.239
heel on his Sting's last match.
No, and you watch Ding the last

422
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:35.559
maybe a few months or a few
handful of matches that he's had recently.

423
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:38.719
He does there's not too much that
he can do. He can do some

424
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:44.880
crazy jumps and stuff, but he's
he's this he's in his sixties right,

425
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:47.519
like he's he's up there, he's
sixty four. Yeah, but what do

426
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:52.159
you think do you think that the
Philip and Francois are going to do something

427
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:57.000
like a face move too on this? Like I can't think of anything that

428
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:01.079
some people wouldn't like to see more
than the Bucks put Rick Flair through a

429
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:09.719
table. I don't know Rick Flair
wants to be put through a table.

430
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:14.880
He said that in a couple of
interviews that I've listened to, So he

431
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.679
specifically says, I want to be
put through a table. Well, who

432
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:22.320
better to put him at the table
than the young Bucks. Yeah, I

433
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.800
don't think they would have any problem
putting him through a table. I don't

434
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:30.280
know if he can survive being put
through a table, but that's what he

435
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.199
wants. I just thought he was
like, I don't know. If they

436
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:36.800
do something, they need to do
it early in the match, have him

437
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.440
carried to the backs with that.
The attention is on Sting through this match,

438
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:45.559
and I hope Sting has a really
good match, and I hope the

439
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:52.679
fans enjoy it. And I kind
of look forward to what happens after the

440
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:59.159
match with the Bucks probably you know, paying homage to Sting. Darby Allen's

441
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:05.800
probably gonna and uh, and then
he'll cry and dive off the ring,

442
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:10.639
apron the steel steps and then and
then Sting will just uh, you know,

443
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.000
standing able to ring for ten minutes, waving at the crowd and getting

444
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:22.880
all all sorts of love which he
deserves. And that's that what you go

445
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.559
to questions for you about this?
So do you think this match goes on

446
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:30.239
last? I do think it'll be
the main event because the revolution is being

447
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.920
built around it. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's pretty much a given.

448
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.280
Who would you want to who would
want to follow that match? True?

449
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:43.159
Yeah, very true. And then
the other thing I'm wondering is do

450
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:45.760
you think it's gonna be like a
street fight? I know a lot of

451
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:51.960
strings things matches have been street fights
or hardcore matches, So do you see

452
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:57.840
this being a traditional tag or something
more hardcore? I think it's gonna be

453
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:01.519
Uh, you know what I'd like
to say, I'd like to see a

454
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:09.039
lumberjack match because it would get We
would have the opportunity for different wrestlers to

455
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:17.599
be around the ring and being able
to kind of pay homage to Sting where

456
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:21.960
the fans could see it. Yeah. Do you think I think that'd be

457
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:27.320
cool? Like wrestlers from things past? Even like that would be a really

458
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:31.559
cool idea. That would really be
a really cool idea. That's a really

459
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:37.360
neat idea, you know that is
I've never even thought of that that's a

460
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.679
good idea. Yeah, I just
I don't No, I'm not going to

461
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.440
say it's a good idea again because
I said it about twenty times already,

462
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.800
and so yeah, sounds kind of
dumb, but no, yeah, I

463
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:52.800
like it, like you know,
Rick Flair, I guess. But but

464
00:39:52.880 --> 00:40:00.639
also maybe some younger people who from
TNA or w c W guys who are

465
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.920
still around. Yeah, well,
everybody wants to see the disco inferno out

466
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:09.880
there, that's for sure. Love
to get the paycheck, but thank God

467
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:16.119
to give it off bag well and
uh, you know Lex Luger gets rolled

468
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:21.280
out sting lands in his lap.
I don't know, yeah, yeah,

469
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:24.079
just some I know Lex Luger was
the first one that popped into my mind.

470
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:30.079
But then it'd be kind of sad. I really I think that a

471
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.599
lumberjack match with I just came up
with that. I wasn't even thinking about

472
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:36.519
it. I think that's my idea. That your idea about who should be

473
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:43.199
there, and we need to call
Tony he tk. We have a heck

474
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.920
of an idea. How much how
deep are your pockets these days? After

475
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:54.679
citing Mercedes Bonde, do you have
anything left? Oh boy, let's move

476
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:59.559
on because this is a match that
I this is kind of like Samoa and

477
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.320
Joe to me, and that is
the Gates of Agaty at Bright Age against

478
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.159
Bullet Club Gold, which is Jay
White and Austin and Colton Gunn for the

479
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:17.000
Ring of Honor six Man Tag Team
Championship. This one kind of puts me

480
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:21.159
in between a rock and a hard
place. There is no way that the

481
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:25.400
Gates of Agaty Brian Cage should ever
beat Bull Club Gold, but the Bullet

482
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:34.519
Club Gold becomes the Ring of Honor
six man Tag Team Championship champions Where do

483
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.039
you go from there? And it
just doesn't make any sense to me.

484
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.599
This match is get another one that's
got I have to put it in a

485
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:45.880
no contest zone and hopefully somebody comes
out and attack the text Bullet Club Gold

486
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:51.360
and the Acclaim come out and save
them, and now we have the birth

487
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:58.960
of the faction. Yeah. To
me, this is leading to the Acclaimed

488
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:04.960
and Bullet Club Gold joining up.
And what this is my prediction based on

489
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:08.639
this match, and I seem to
usually be wrong, but my prediction is

490
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:15.039
that Bullet Club Gold wins. They
take the ROH six Man Tag Team Championship

491
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:22.880
and then now they challenge the Acclaimed
or the Acclaim challenge them to unify the

492
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:30.480
titles, because like the ROH World
six Man Tag Team Championship, probably the

493
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:36.400
lowest rung of titles maybe the ROH
Here Championship in AW. I don't think

494
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:42.760
there's a need for two prios titles
in AW or ring of Honor, So

495
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:50.400
it would make sense to consolidate those
bills belts and just just to only have

496
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:55.599
the AW Trios Championship. And it
also lets Bullet Club Gold go to the

497
00:42:55.679 --> 00:43:00.360
Acclaimed or vice versa and say,
hey, the winner has to join our

498
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:06.119
stable. So Bullet Club Gold,
if they beat the Acclaimed Acclaimed has to

499
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:10.639
join Bullet Club Gold, or if
the Acclaimed beats Bullet Club Gold, Bullet

500
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:15.800
Club Gold has to join the Acclaimed. That's that's where I see this leading.

501
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:22.480
Yeah, you know I when you
get we talk about the Trios Championship,

502
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.639
I'm just gonna keep saying this,
and I'm gonna keep saying it.

503
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:30.039
I'm gonna keep saying until people just
tell me to just shut up. A

504
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:36.159
W does not need a Trios Championship. They need to Trios Champion. I'm

505
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:38.480
talking about AW. I don't talk
about a I don't talk about r O

506
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:44.119
H you know at all really,
but they got these floating around too,

507
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:47.360
so it doesn't you you have to
agree it makes sense to at least get

508
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:52.000
rid of one. If they were
gonna get rid of one, you get

509
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.000
rid of the a W and leave
it on leave it, leave it at

510
00:43:55.119 --> 00:44:00.039
ring of honor and have them defended
on ring of honor. Tv AW needs

511
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:07.119
a women's tag belt. They don't
need a men's trios belt because it hasn't

512
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:15.679
been really any good. I mean, it's a good way to get wrestlers

513
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:22.039
out onto you know, when you
have a trios match, you got six

514
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.280
wrestlers out there at once, sometimes
more if you have more than two teams

515
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:30.840
out there. But the problem with
it is that the belt doesn't mean as

516
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.039
much. I am going to go
right out on the limit and say AW

517
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:39.119
has too many belts that don't mean
much and they have to add. And

518
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:45.159
what I mean by that is,
well, let's look at a battle of

519
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.079
the belts. And I don't know
if you agree with me on this,

520
00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:52.960
but Ricky starts a big bill er
singles champions that have tag team belt.

521
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:59.000
There's singles wrestlers that have a tag
team belt. They're not a good tag

522
00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:04.360
team. They won that match,
but did they really because the don Kallas

523
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:08.320
family helped them out on a couple
of occasions to save them from losing that

524
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:13.840
match. They got soundly beaten and
should have lost that match had it not

525
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:20.159
been for outside interference, which was
really never explained. And I guess we'll

526
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.119
get to that. But the tag
team belts right now are just total bunk.

527
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:30.480
The Trio's belts right now are total
bunk. I might even go out

528
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:37.840
and say that they need to pay
attention to more to belts when you look

529
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:45.599
at the belts that have been defended
since World's End, all right, which

530
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:51.760
was what one with World that was
it December thirtieth? Yep, yeah,

531
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:59.960
okay, okay, so we're now
two and a half weeks ago. Ponies

532
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:05.840
Storm has done absolutely nothing with that
woman's belt, absolutely nothing. I'm not

533
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.519
saying she's not a good champion,
but I'm just saying she hasn't been booked

534
00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:15.880
to do absolutely anything with that belt
that should be. You know, I'm

535
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:21.320
saying, you've got the men's championship. Some old Joe's out there, you

536
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:24.199
know, and great, and I'm
just gonna say this Tony Storm. I

537
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:28.000
love her character, but there's always
so much you could do with it before

538
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:31.760
it gets repetitive and boring. And
if you're only going out there and you

539
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:38.119
know, talking in black and white
about Chid's tits and shoes, then it's

540
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:43.039
just gonna get boring. It's repetitive. Well, I think they got they

541
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:46.119
got big plans for Tony and I
think she's been a good champion. And

542
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:51.360
I don't think when you're talking about
too many belts, I don't think the

543
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:53.760
woman's belt is the problem. I
feel like it. No, no,

544
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:58.480
no, no no. What I'm
saying is that they're concentrating on the wrong

545
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:02.840
belts they should be concentrating. And
I'm not saying in any way that Tony

546
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.320
Storm is not a good champion.
As a matter of fact, Diana Parozzo

547
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.440
and Anna Jay are having a match
on Dynamite tomorrow night, and Tony Storm

548
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:14.920
is going to be on commentary,
So that'll be interesting and I hope there's

549
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:19.480
some kind of confrontation there and that'll
be interesting. But you know, we

550
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:25.400
need to see the champions in matches. You know, look at you know,

551
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:32.599
Julia Hartz defended twice already, it
had a tag match after a World's

552
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:40.079
End, you know, so the
TBS belt is not you know, like

553
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:45.559
what are the top belts. Christian
Cage with the TNT title has done a

554
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:50.679
lot with the TNT title. There's
intrigue and interest behind it, you know.

555
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:57.039
And he's actually in a match tomorrow
night with Dustin Rhodes, which is

556
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:00.480
another interesting match that I don't understand. I guess they're doing just to get

557
00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:05.480
Dustin Rhodes out there, you know, in Charleston, uh, South Carolina.

558
00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:08.960
So but other than that, I
really don't understand why they're why they're

559
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:15.039
doing that match, because you know, there's gotta be other this Tomorrow night,

560
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:20.280
up and down the Line Hook and
Samoa Joe. There's got to be

561
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:27.199
something else that happens. Yeah,
Christian and I mean really Christian and Dustin

562
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:30.679
Road, something else has got to
happen the Gates of Bagadine and Brian Cage

563
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.719
against Bull Club Gold. Something else
has gotta happen. Beyonda Parazzo and Anna

564
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:39.719
Jay with Tony storm on on on
commentary, something else has gotta happen.

565
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:46.880
Yeah, I think I look at
that card for Tomorrow night and I see,

566
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:52.679
Yeah, I see a lot of
story that needs to happen, and

567
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:54.960
it's probably gonna happen to fill in
the gaps and kind of give us a

568
00:48:55.000 --> 00:49:00.079
clear picture of where we're headed for
either the next pay per viewer, the

569
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:08.199
next like Special Dynamite. Right now, I don't know, man, it's

570
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:15.360
it's something else. Let's let's make
our spicy predictions for tomorrow night. Let's

571
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:23.920
get into that. I'll go first, and I really don't know where to

572
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:30.119
begin, but I guess my main
spicy prediction will be that the acclaim that

573
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:35.719
Bullet Club Gold something's gonna happen between
them because I just don't see the reason

574
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:38.559
why Bullet Club Gold would ever beat
Gates of Bagatin and Brian Cage become Ring

575
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:45.840
of Honor Tag team champions or are
six man tag champions, and because it

576
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:50.519
doesn't benefit Bull Club Gold at all, So there's got to be something else

577
00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:54.159
that goes on. Maybe the Don
Kallis family gets involved, Maybe something else

578
00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:58.320
happens. I don't know, because
Donald Kallis family seems to be getting involved

579
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:02.519
in a lot of people's business.
So that's my prediction. I think that

580
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:12.199
something's gonna happen and Brian Cage leave
that match with the titles. I absolutely

581
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:19.280
most people want think that Bull Club
Gold is the better, more interesting team

582
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.960
and they should win. I just
don't want Bull Club Gold to win the

583
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:31.760
Ring of Honor six man Tag Team
Championship, and and uh and then it's

584
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:38.760
it's why. It's kind of like, you know, coming in second place

585
00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:44.239
at the Old Hart Foundation, who
cares? You know who came in second?

586
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:52.679
That's right, nobody knows who has
a ruby. So and I'm just

587
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:58.000
saying I was like, who knows, you know, who cares? You

588
00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:00.719
know, that's a you know,
that's a whole the other thing you do

589
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:06.079
to go on the heart and you
know, Willow wins and then it's like,

590
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:08.039
Okay, we'll see you next year
kind of thing. That's not a

591
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:15.840
yeah. But anyway, so what's
your spicy prediction for tomorrow night. I'm

592
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:21.760
gonna go I'm gonna say one hundred
percent Bullet Club Gold wins the ro Oh

593
00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:27.000
World Take Team one hundred percent.
I'm gonna yeah, I will. I'm

594
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:32.280
betting everything on it if I yeah, if Vegas legalized wrestling betting, I

595
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:37.400
would put a substantial sum on Bullet
Club Goal to win that. I just

596
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:43.440
think it only makes sense too.
We're gonna have to start at gofund me

597
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:50.320
for everything that you're gonna lose tomorrow
night. So well, we're definitely gonna

598
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:54.159
find out tomorrow night. I guess
yeah, yeah, I'll put my money

599
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:58.719
my mouth is, but yeah,
I'm pretty confident in that. Usually I'm

600
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:01.559
not so confident, but this one, it just it's the only thing that

601
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:09.239
makes sense and gets of Agany and
Brian Cage. I'm just who cares well,

602
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:14.320
they aren't a long they've they've been
there for a long time doing it.

603
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:19.639
I don't know, maybe maybe Lance
Archer comes out and destroys, you

604
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:22.199
know, when the gates Vagany and
Brian Cage come out to the rig,

605
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:27.159
maybe kates A Magani comes out,
Brian Cage comes tumbling down, with Lance

606
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:30.639
Archer following closely behind him. I
don't know, you know, I don't

607
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:34.440
know. I mean, I love
I love Lance Archer. I just think

608
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:38.800
he's just he's just still convincing to
me, you know, And I just

609
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:43.880
love watching the guy, you know, even if he does something stupid like

610
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:47.559
losing by count out the Orange Cassidy
on a pay per view. I'll never

611
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:57.000
forgive Tony Khan for booking that Tony. Okay, but anyway, God,

612
00:52:57.199 --> 00:52:59.840
that's still to this day that just
ticks me off. I'm like, you've

613
00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:05.400
got to be kidding me that poor
Lance Archer. Pin him in the center

614
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:07.199
of the ring or something. Don't
make him stand on the apron to get

615
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:13.840
counted out, My god, especially
in the track record that the track record

616
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:16.840
that the U a W referees have
had, you know, three blind mice

617
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:24.639
and all compassed one human being.
Oh my gosh. Anyway, so so

618
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:32.840
you're you are betting the bank on
Bulk Gold. Yeah, they can't lose

619
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:38.719
the match, and yeah, it's
I'm gonna go out out of the live

620
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:46.039
and say that, go out of
the limit and say that. I'm not

621
00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:50.960
gonna say that there's gonna be no
contest in this in this card to barn.

622
00:53:51.320 --> 00:53:55.920
But what I ha to say is
that this card with Samoa Jahook and

623
00:53:57.440 --> 00:54:02.119
Bull Club Gold and Gates of Baga
named Brian k and even like Anna Jay

624
00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:08.119
and Gianna Parazzo, Uh, there
are a lot of matches in this that

625
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:14.840
could could end in a draw or
no contest and it would make perfect sense.

626
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:22.400
I mean, we get over under
for for no contests tomorrow night zero.

627
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:27.400
I don't think there's gonna be any
draws or no contest tomorrow night.

628
00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.559
But look at the Hook and Samoa
Joe said it was a twenty minute time

629
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:37.280
limit draw on that and they fought
to a draw. That would be very

630
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:43.280
interesting. Yeah, I mean,
you could have Samoa Joe absolutely beat the

631
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:47.960
actual crap out of Hook all twenty
minutes but never get the pinner to submission

632
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:54.840
and it doesn't hurt Samoa Joan.
It legitimizes Hook. So that is my

633
00:54:55.039 --> 00:55:00.679
spicy prediction. I'm gonna make it
official. I'm going to take since you

634
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:05.159
made a spicy prediction about Bullet Club
Gold, I did too, but I'm

635
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:08.360
gonna changed my spicy prediction. I
am going to My spicy prediction is that

636
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:17.880
Hook and Samoa Joe ends in a
time limit draw. Is it? Is

637
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:22.760
it a twenty minute I don't know. If it's a twenty minute match,

638
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:25.079
it's gonna end in a draw.
If it's a you know, with a

639
00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:29.920
one hour time limit, no,
because I don't think. I don't think.

640
00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:34.920
I don't think either of those guys. Yeah, I guess we'll know

641
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:37.400
at the beginning of the match.
If they do a twenty minute time time

642
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:46.880
limit I don't know fast rules and
one other thing in uh in Bullet Club

643
00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:52.760
Gold's favor. Apparently they're debuting a
brand new song that is true. That's

644
00:55:52.800 --> 00:56:02.079
exciting. Yeah, I wonder if
it's gonna be Duran team Western theme.

645
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:07.400
Yeah, well it's bullet Club and
he got the guns mm hmmm. You

646
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:15.880
know, and you've got that famous
Australian Australian a Jay White, who's just

647
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:21.760
go with it. Yeah. I
thought that was hysterical what he said.

648
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:24.119
No, he wasn't. They said
he was from Britain. They said he

649
00:56:24.199 --> 00:56:30.840
was from the u K. Yeah, and he's from the It was a

650
00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:36.599
renakend. Piquett said, no,
he's He's from New Zealand. And Jay

651
00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:38.599
White's like, just just go with
it, just go with it. Yeah,

652
00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:43.320
that was that was really good.
That was maybe the best moment of

653
00:56:43.480 --> 00:56:47.280
j White we've gotten so far.
Yeah, I mean it's I think it's

654
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:54.840
cool the way they're making uh Billy
Austin called gun just to be idiots and

655
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:04.639
that's how they come across in Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, well we

656
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:09.119
will see. I mean it's going
to be a pretty good show, although

657
00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:15.800
it's going to be filled with chances
for no contest and time women draws mm

658
00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:21.000
hmm. I don't know, man, it's gonna be It's going to be

659
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:30.039
something, really, it will be
something for sure. Well that's ignition for

660
00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:36.639
tonight, Alex. Thanks for joining
and it was a great discussion. I

661
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:43.920
hope you didn't offend anybody. It's
nothing like you know, calling everybody six

662
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:50.119
scumbags at the beginning of a the
beginning of a of a podcast and and

663
00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:53.400
say, well, nobody is listening
right now because we've already But you know

664
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:57.800
what, I'm proud of it.
I own up to it. It had

665
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:00.440
to be said, it should have
been said. Nobody should be acting like

666
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:07.000
that. No, no, shame
on you all, same on you.

667
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:15.000
Shame, shame, shame. Boo
boooooooo. I tell you what I've just

668
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:20.519
dumbfounded over here, I really am. I'm just so pissed off at everything

669
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:24.960
because this has got to stop.
It's one thing not to like somebody because

670
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:29.360
they you just don't like their style, you don't like their wrestling, or

671
00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:32.000
you think they can't wrestle, but
not because of the way they look.

672
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:40.159
That has nothing to do with it. Swear to God, prothetic Boo boo,

673
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:45.960
You'll tell you what, jeez.
Anyway, that's the show for tonight.

674
00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:52.280
Thanks again Alex for for Alex.
This is Kelson. Good night everybody,
