It's Tuesday, and you know what that means. It's time for Ignition with
ae W Fan Hub and Winter is coming from Arlington, Texas, and you
know what that means. We're in Texas, which means are we going to
see thunder Rosa this week? Hmm. But I'm here with Sleazy C the
Professional and Renee and we are going to get this thing kicked off with.
Well, we're going to look back and see what happened over the weekend.
And I think one of the biggest stories over the weekend, and it's been
this way for the last couple of weeks, is the Continental Classic. How
about that match between Androdi Ledlo and Brian Danielson That was just a privilege to
watch. These matches have been pretty dark good. So we've got a pretty
big match coming up tomorrow night, and we're going to talk about that,
the Swerve Strickland and John Moxley match, and we're going to talk about the
other two matches in the Continental Classic. But one of the things that I
wanted to point out is that, you know, with how many people do
we have in the Continental Classic. We have twelve wrestlers in the Continental Classic,
and some of them are big superstars that you expect to be there,
but some of them aren't. I mean, you've got Daniel Garcia and Brody
King and maybe even Mark Brisco is more known to be a tag guy,
you know, and a trios guy more than a singles wrestler. Ruche just
came into his own. But the question I'd like to ask everybody, and
we'll start with Sleazy, is who would have odd of these twelve wrestlers in
the Continental Classic, do you think is getting the most benefit out of the
Continental Class? Who's get the biggest push? Well, here's the deal.
I really hate the Continent Classic. Stupid doesn't make any sense. But if
we're if I have to talk about who's getting the rub here, I will
I personally believe. Well, as we're looking at it right here, it's
pretty clear for the past few weeks that Swerve has been getting the biggest rub
out of all of this, and he's been needing it. You remember when
I was calling him the leader of the Factory two point zero. Yeah,
he's pretty much change now into what's seeming like a legitimate threat, albeit in
a garbage tournament. You know, he's getting the biggest rub here in terms
of anybody from the Blue League, I mean it's hard to say. And
even then that's stilled with more of the established superstars. Daniel Garcia just got
eliminated, so he ain't getting the rub. Eddie Kingston's already roh and new
Japan Open strongweight champion Claudio I mean he's already established. Brody King, I
mean, I'm not sure what rub he needs. And then I guess and
raw Day you could say he's getting benefit out of this, but in the
Blue League, there's not really a lot of guys who are getting that rub
that they need out of this. But well, you don't think that Brody
Kings. I mean, look, Brody King has been you know, Trio's
champion. He's not really known for his singles work, and you don't think
that, Uh. I think the last match that Brody King had that was
singles, don't get me wrong, before the Continental Classic was his, wasn't
it the Coffin match Arbi Allen. I mean, I don't know, it's
been so long. I don't know. Well, I mean, in that
sort of context, if we're really trying to push him away from House of
Black and push him more in a single direction, then maybe it seems like
he's getting the rum here, but personally I'm not really seeing it. And
plus on Driday probably needs to put probably needs his way more badly than Brody
King, although then again they're fighting in a garbage tournament, so I don't
really see the benefit for anyone. But you don't like this tournament, that's
just. But since I have to, you know, and cuose here,
I go with the facts, and I'm not lying to myself. I'm telling
myself the truth. Uh so I'm passing it off to duff professional. What
is your professional opinion? So my professional opinion, I would have to disagree
with your I guess outlook on the Communal Classic. I think it's fantastic.
I think it's a great reset for ad w H to get back to its
kind of sports based field roots. But the answer the question of who I
think is getting the biggest rub, I'm actually gonna go with Brody King.
I kind of alluded to it last week, but I think that this is
this tournament has been fantastic for him. I didn't think about that going in,
but once he got that upset over Eddie Kingston, he kept that momental
rolling. It's another win, He's got six points. Now, I think
he has the biggest rub out of everyone that's both on a Blue and the
Goat League, just because he's not a main event talent like Brian Danielson or
John Moxley or even swear to Strickland, but he can benefit the most from
a push from this particular type of tournament. So I think he's having a
great, great time right now with his matches. I don't see him winning,
but again, I think that he is getting the biggest rub out of
everyone within this tournament. Well, let me ask you this. I mean,
when you look at Brody King, what does he have left? He's
got Brian Danielson that he has to wrestle, He's got Androdi led a load
that he has to wrestle, and Daniel Garcia that he has to wrestle.
Do you see him getting one or two wins out of those three matches?
Well, I can win against Daniel, Guys see him because I believe that
that's gonna further the storyline of him, you know, having you know,
issues with Hey, can I let go of being a sports entertainer or just
go full on wrestler In regards to ANDRAI, I don't know if he beats
him. Giving that, Andredilo just got an upset win over Brian Daniels,
and so I don't think he beats Andrade. When it comes to Brian Danilson,
I don't know if he beats him either, and that that kind of
sucks. Had it out loud, because he's got some great momentum right now,
but I think it can be halted with both and I and Brian Danielson.
Okay, so let's go to Renee. Renee, what are you thinking
who's getting the biggest robber push out of this tournament? That's hard to say
it. To be honest with you, I I do like this tournament,
you know, I really do. It's just because you want to see that
you know who's gonna step up and show out on both sides, right?
Absolutely? Yeah, And as you mentioned the intro of this topic, there
is you know, the com the common note wrestlers are there like Moxley Danielson,
right. I just I don't know. I I do feel somewhat bad,
like you know, with Mark Frisco. I know he's the mostly attack
team wrestler, but I just I don't know those last few matches that he
was in, I thought he had it, you know, yas, and
he had a chance to win. And and call me crazy, I felt
also a little simp effect towards Daniel Garcia as well in his matches, you
know, because I thought he had a chance to win that too. But
seriously, for the biggest push, when anyone disagree with the fact about broy
Kate might be the guy that gay matts, I'll pass it on to the
next person. Yeah, well, you know, I mean when you look
at it, Brene, you made a really good point here, and the
point that you made that I like a lot is that when you look at
each of these mat I mean, Daniel Garcia put on a good match.
He's put on good matches. Mark Briscoe has put on good matches. When
you look up and down the line at this tournament, there isn't like what
usually happens in aw booking, where you look at a match and say,
ninety nine percent of the time you know who's gonna win the bout before the
match even begins. With this, you're kind of like dumbfounded. I'm looking
at this and I'm saying, okay, brody King has six points Daniel Garcia
has zero points, and I kind of think that maybe Brody King is gonna
lose to Daniel Garcia. I mean, and the same thing can happen with
uh with Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscow has to go against Jay Lethal and Jay
White. I mean, Jay Lethal has how many points does Jay Lethal have?
We got both, you know, Jay Lethal has Rouche and Mark Briscoe,
and Mark Briscoe has Jay Lethal and Jay White. Somebody's gonna win.
I don't think that. I think you're gonna see some spoilers coming up here,
but you know, that's what the interesting part about this Continental Classic is
is that there's no clear cut winner in any match. And even these guys
like Mark Briscoe and Daniel Garcia Jay Lethal have zero points, they have nothing
to lose, you know, so if this was real life, they'd probably
approach it like they have nothing to lose. I don't think Tony con gonna
have anybody finished with zero points. I really don't somebody's And let's keep in
mind also that there's draws in this tournament, which yet and it hasn't happened
yet, but I think that it's a very strong possibility that something's gonna happen
and it ended a draw. One of these matches that ended a draw,
and it's just gonna cause all kinds of hell with the with the scoring and
stuff like that. It's it's pretty interesting to be and sleazy. I don't
know, I don't like it, but I respect your opinion. Let's move
on. We did a uh we did a poll in on the aw fan
Hub sub reddit and I'm kind of shocked at the results of this poll,
and I wanted to get your opinions on this. The question that was asked
is does the Trio's Division having matches in a Trio's Division take away from the
tag team division because you've got tag teams wrestling like the Acclaimed Added Daddy Ass
and now they I mean, you claim the are former tag team champions,
Okay, and they went and they wrestled Added Daddy Ass and they're in the
Trio's Division instead of when's the last time you saw the Acclaim in a tag
team match? I can't remember, and you got this. So there's there's
a lot of the wrestlers that are tag teams are wrestling in the Trio's Division.
And the poll was is it is the Trio's division holding back or hurting
the Tag Division. And the answer is, according to the community, it
split dead even equal amount of votes, yes and no, so sleazy.
My question to you is, is the Tree Division actually hurting the Tag Division?
Well, I personally believe and absolutely I don't really think it's hurting it
too bad. I think it's actually maybe benefiting the Tag Division because here's the
thing, right we're getting newer tag teams right now. Man. We got
Ricky Starks and Big Bill, and then we got Golden Jets right now,
and all these other factions that used to be tag teams like Darius Martin,
the other guy in Dante White, Top Flight and Action Andretti. That's gonna
help Action Andretti, you know, help them go up the card. And
if Action Andretti turns on them or for some ungodly reason they break up,
then you know, it could either split into a tag division or something like
that. And then with the acclaim, they turn into a trio. Specifically
to give Billy Gunn the respect he deserves as you know, better and professional,
because if there's something that AW is really good at doing is respecting their
veterans. So a Trios Division just tends to benefit everybody, including the Tag
Division. Now, sure, you know you might have some booking mistakes here
and there with some tag teams turning them into factions, which is ungodly amount
of stupid. But the fact of the matter is a Trio's division ain't really
hurting it just by its plain existence. You know, it just benefits everybody
in my opinion. But now, professional, what is your professional opinion on
this? So? I think it is actually hurt the Tag division, but
I think it's due to there being another Trials belt for all age. I'm
really confused of why we have that. I didn't necessarily think that the Trios
built needed to be at it. I'm okay with it, but it is
still kind of confusing given that there's an r H six man Attack Championship and
there's really no distinction in the I guess the challengers so I mentioned top Flight
with Action ANDRETTI, I mean they can also challenge for ROH six man Attack
Team title. So I just don't know why we have belts for both.
I guess maybe they can look to merge the belts or unify the belts,
but I do think that it is hurting. But it's from that standpoint given
that there's two sets of even though they are called differently, but they're both
Trio Tag Team Championships, it just presents a lot of confusion and I kind
of don't care about the trio's division. I love their claim, but it
just makes me not care. Well, here's something to think about too.
You know, you brought up a good point in that Top Flight Action Andretti
easily go over to R O H and battle for their Trios Championship. We've
got final battle from Ring of Honor coming up on Friday at seven o'clock on
Honor Club and Blackpool. Who whoold? I can't remember the match off the
top of my head. Does anybody know the match for Honor Club? What
is it? It's it's BCC and who f t R Brisco. There you
go. So there's two more aw teams that could literally go and wrestle it
in me Ring of Honor. Like you were saying, the professional h So
Renee, let me get your take on this. What the what do you
think about what the professional said? And and what what what the original question
was? You know, due to trios titles hold back the tag titles in
aw I don't think so it's britto because you know what I mean, I
know what you mean. Yeah, it's like it's okay, I'm I'm gonna
try to make make sense to this too. Where okay, as so as
far as as so far we all know, like a dog has these different
belts, right right, like the deal the world had was it the top
one is the world headweight belt, and so forth down the line. Okay,
So the reason why I said no is because you know, it's it's
different, it's a different belt, just one. Like it's just that we
haven't really seen a tag team match in a while. Like if anyone can
answer one the last one that you saw, shout it out, because otter
than that, I've seen the Acclaim do their thing, right, you could
probably include the House of Black, you know, doing their thing. I
can't think of anybody else, honest, Well, actually a few tag team
matches, but none of them. I mean, what's the last time you
saw a Big Bill and Ricky Starks in the match? The last time my
MEMORYO and so mains with me, guys is that when they apparently did the
beat down to FDR, which I never thought ever is going to happen between
that them. But it is what it is. So but I yeah,
I should just actually just let me finish. The only ones I could think
of for taxing taxing partners is go Jets and maybe Young Bucks but f t
R but I and okay Starks and Starts a Big Belt if you pull my
finger on that one. But again, there's no one else that's really standing
out to me. And tag team. No, That's what I'm saying is
that it's kind of the tag team in trio's division is kind of being buried
right now. Yes, we've had trios matches, Yes we've had tag matches,
we even had it, but we haven't had the right ones the Acclaimed
if not wrestle the trios match since god knows when, and either a Big
Bill and Ricky Starks. So what are we doing? Why we have the
trios and tag belts? You know, in the past, if somebody wasn't
able to wrestle, they would just have a in term. Why not make
the BCC and the FTR versus and Mark Brisco match on Final Battle? Why
din't they just make that for the term trios belts? Because the acclaims certainly
aren't are defending. I don't understand the logic. Here. Another thing I
want to bring up, and everyone can take their two cents on this makes
sense to do a tournament like you know, like not now, but down
the line right and then crowd an actual champion or maybe a new champion.
I want to see it. There's a lot of possibilities, just like you
can even like like make it wide open. Okay, you can even bring
few of them, are all right from R O H shop be part of
it, you know, like seeing the case. I'm just I'm going outside
of this. No, but what you're saying, I'm better give an answer
to your question and I I'm gonna but I'm gonna stup double it aside.
At the same time, do what I want to see a tournament to crown
a new tag team champion. Absolutely yes, but not the men's championship the
women's tag team championship. So that's what's missing in your opinion. I don't
think that a tag team Championship tournament for the men would be viable because Ricky
Starks and Big Bill won the championship and they are to defending and reigning champions.
They just need to. They just need to wrestle. You know.
If they're not going to wrestle, then they need to take the tag team
champions off of them, championship belts off of them. I don't know what's
going on why they're not wrestling. Let's move on because winter is coming and
we've got that. I alluded to this earlier, and this isn't even in
our outline, but I wanted to bring this up. Is that the next
three shows I believe are in Texas. We've got Arlington, Garland, and
San Antonio. Those are those are the shows now? I don't know.
I know Arlington is dynamite, san Antonio is probably a collision. Yeah.
Where's Garland? Is that dynamite rampage? Probably they probably do? And Final
Battle Okay? Is that right? I think Final Battle and Collision? Okay,
So you know, I mean, look, you know, we've got
shows in Texas, and Texas crowds are hot, you know, and we've
got these big matches coming up. We've got three Continental Classic matches and I
don't want to get into all of them, but I do want to get
into a couple of them. One is the big match we're Strickland and John
Moxley. I mean that is I don't even know how to explain that match.
That is just gonna be complete carnage because they're so similar in what they
they do. It's leazy. They both got nine points. The winner of
this match is likely going to the semi finals. Matter of fact, if
they do have a winner, keep in mind, they could go to a
draw, and that could really throw a lupid to it, especially with Jay
White lurking right around the corner. Sleazy, who do you have the John
Moxley Swear Strickland match? Do you think that this is the one that's gonna
end in a draw? Well in the Continental trash Pile Tournament. Uh?
I astdally think like if we're if it's supposed to be the thing, we're
supposed to be the complete reset, and we're not supposed to know what's gonna
happen, So we're ever supposed to win. Okay, we expect to draw,
we expect Swear to lose. If he wins, then boom, we're
back to unexpected eight of where everything is unexpected. Whoa, oh my god,
but guess what it doesn't Bru's my point at this tournament sucks but yeah,
I think Sworth taking a win that profession no professional opinion. Yeah,
so I actually think John Moxley is gonna take to win here in the Fantastic
Condle Classic tournament. I want to see. I'm really interested in how they're
going to handle Swurve because I do not think he's gonna win this tournament at
all. But he's got a lot of momentum. I mean, he was
just talking with the commissioner of the National Football League on the sidelines, Roger
Goodell. I mean, for Tony Conne even put him in that position.
He sees a lot of big things in him. But I don't think he
sees him winning the Classic, and neither do I and I just want to
know how they handle that. And I think this would probably be the first
loss for Swerve, and I just want to I'm really excited again to see
how that is handled. I'm also excited to see how John Moxley is handled
because he kind of alluded to it like he's really banged up. He is,
he needs some time off, So how are they gonna handle that.
Last week I was really focused on the story and after the match with some
matches, and that's the case here for this match. I've got John Moxley
went in, but I want to see what happens to both after this match,
so I'll throw it over to Renee. I with you on on that
one. Marx will win. It's I just he'll find a way to win.
If it means that that's the cat sorry decapitates worse ricklet Well, we
want to see that. Oh my gosh, Well I don't. Well you
see what he lariat does. He does like I swear to god, it's
like it's gonna take Son's head off. Did that? Hang man? That's
true? Yeah? Right, So yeah, that's what I partict. I
wrote down the winners somewhere on the dampoud so I'm sticking to it, and
I'm and I'm not going to budge come come match day on it. So
well, you know, look, I really do believe that if there was
any match it was gonna end in a draw, it's gonna be John Moxley
and Square Strickland. Look, Jay White was kind of embarrassed by losing to
a crippled you know, MJF at the pay per view, and he's hanging
in right there. If if we have John Moxley and square Strickland go to
a draw that leaves them both at ten points, and Jay White beats Mark
brisco That puts Mark Briscoe and puts Jay White at nine points, one point
behind. And you know what that means. It means that Jay White has
a shot because who does J White Russell rush right, Jy Yeah? J
White beaches beats Roused, that he's one point behind John Moxley and squares Strickland.
That means that the last match in ja Ja White has is against John
Moxley, I believe, And well, the winner of that match goes to
the semi finals. So that sets it up. But then you also have
to look there's so much going on because again Mark Briscoe, I don't think
he's gonna go winless, and I don't think that Jay Lethal is gonna go
winless, So you gotta look at it that way. I don't think that
Tony Kahn is gonna throw Briscoe and Lethal to the Wolves. Put it that
way, so brisco will win one of his last team matches Jay and so
Wild Jay Lethal. I don't think that Ruche is gonna pass, is going
to pass. I think he's gonna He's anna win, but he's gonna come
up short. He's gonna come up just out at the top. So yeah,
so let's look at the just a quick overview of the last two matches.
We have Rouche against Jay Lethal and we also have J White against Mark
Briscoe. Now I've already said that I think Rush is going to beat Jay
Lethal and I think Jay White is gonna beat Mark Mark Briscoe. Sleazy,
give us, give us predictions real quick on those two matches. I'm sorry,
what were they again? J? J. White against Mark Briscoe and
Ruche against Jay Lethal. Well, obviously, as I think you just said,
did not throwing Mark Risco under the bus. But they're certainly throwing Jay
Lethal off of the bus. I mean, come on, he's been in
all years. He's gonna lose again, as simple as that. Okay,
So you have Rush over Lethal and what about Mark Briscow and Jay White.
Yeah, Mark Mark Briscoe is going over in the Continental Trash File. You
think Mark Briscow is gonna be Jay White in this match? Yes, okay,
let's move on to the professional What are your predictions on these two matches?
Yes, I'm gonna actually have to agree with Sleazy for j brisco and
Jay White, I think this is going to further the storyline with Big White
just you know, not losing his mind, but just I'm not really happy
about his performance and their commental classic, which is great. By the way,
I don't see Mark Briscoe going winless, as was mixing earlier. I
don't think some ony's gonna have anybody finished with zero points, so I think
this is the way for Mark Briscow to get that win, and you know,
again it helps further that story for Jay White in regardless to Rouge and
Jay Leith, though I'm kind of tormenting this because to Sleazy's point, Jay
Lethal has been losing all year. But also, like I just mentioned and
was stated earlier, I don't think Tony KLA's gonna allow anybody to have zero
points, so this could be a great way for j Lethal to have that
history points with the winning over Rouge. However, I think that could perhaps
hurt Rush as well, so I just don't know. With that match,
I'm leaning more towards Rouge, but I wouldn't be surprised if J Lethal also
won this match, So I'll throw it over to Nick Aver weighing in,
I mentioned Maxley was gonna win it, and also I have Bresco winning it.
I figured I left out Okay, who's Lethal facing again is going against
Ruche. Okay, so my bad. So I basically cover all bases on
gonna win those matches. Okay, you know I I've already made my picks.
I do think that Jay White's going over Briscoe, and I do think
Rush is going over Jay Lethal. I just don't see how they could possibly
get around it. But I want to move on because I found this to
be very interesting. We had two champions won the r OH Women's World champion
Athena. She was on Under the Ring podcast and she said that after her
match where she will retain the Ring of Honor World Championship over Billy Stark's at
Final Battle on from at seven o'clock on on her club, she wants to
go after both Julia Hart and the TBS Championship and Tony Storm and the AW
World Championship. Earlier this week on Instagram, ReHO did a question and answer
session with her fans and somebody asked her if she was going after Julia Hart
and the TBS Championship and Rio's answer was that she is very interested in Julia
Heart and the TBS Championship, but right now she's focusing on the AW Women's
World Championship. So basically, we've got ReHO and Athena both coming out and
saying they're going after all the gold, especially on Athena's part. So the
question here is we've got Rio in a match against poor Ruby Soho. Let's
all take a couple of seconds. And yeah, I mean Ruby Soho for
those of you that don't know, and I brought this up before in our
podcast. Ruby Soho of course was Ruby Riot at WWE, and then she
came over to AW and she's been at AW for past what two years now?
I think something like that. Ruby Soho has never won a championship belt
in either WWE or AW. She's beltless. She is literally the queen of
the jobbers. She does well until it gets to crunch time, and then
she's basically used to be the one to lose and give somebody else the belt,
you know, And that's what's gonna happen here. So Ruby Soho is
going against Rio on uh on Winter's Coming Dynamite tomorrow night. The question here
is does anybody see There's there's a two part question, does anybody see Ruby
Soho beat Rio tomorrow night? And the second question is is because I just
want to know who's crazy and who's who's got working brain cells? And the
second most important question is based on what Athena and Rio said about going after
the TBS Championship and the Women's World Championship. Of course the focus is more
on Tony Storm and the Women's World champion chip. Which those two women do
you think would be better off getting the belt? If any of them,
either of them Athena or Riho. Let's go sleezy. Let's just say this,
Ruby Soho's career is just as day as the wwi WE Lightweight heavy Lightweight
Championship. So yeah, right back. So so anyway, yeah, Ruby's
taking the last look. I'm sleazy, not crazy. There's a big difference.
But anyway, in terms of like, this is not a question of
who would be better off with the belt since Athena brought it into the Roman
possibility. It might be a question of who would be better as a belt
collector. It's like we've seen the bell collector with Kenny Omega, but we
haven't seen anything like that in the women's division. Something something like that would
be absolutely crazy. Now here's the thing. Rio's a babyface and the fact
of the matter is her current character work. I'm sorry, I just would
not work as a bell collector championship hell yeah, but as a bell collier
that that's just not gonna work now with Athena. She's a heel right now.
So I mean, I know I talk on heels getting all the success
all the time, but for once, I'm going back on that for once,
because this actually makes the most sense for Athena to be a belt collector
right now. I mean, she's she's been on an undefeated streak for god
knows how long, even longer than even longer than that certain hair with those
woman with the white hair. Yeah, and it's actually good. So yeah.
So in the realm of possibility, she could be the belt collector,
and it would make sense for her to be a bell collector. But let's
pass it off to the professional for his professional opinion. You know, I
like your idea about Athena being a bell collector. However, I think it'll
only work if it was across three separate promote that weren't related to a W,
similar to like how can you then can Omega did when he had the
Impact World Championship what it was at the A Champion Mega Championship or whatever it's
called, and then a W world title. I don't think it would work
if she had three belts within a W or under the AW umbrella, but
I think that would be pretty awesome, and it would also help solidify even
though it is solidified, but even further solidify women's wrestling in North America.
I actually really really do like that idea there, and it actually took me
away from the original question because there was such a good idea. So Kelson,
can you run by that original question again? I just want to make
sure that we stay on top of well the original question for us, do
you think Ruby so stands a snowballs chance at I don't, I don't,
I don't. I think it was a two part question I remember correctly,
But the other part. The second part was the belt collector thing. Which
are the two would you prefer has the best chance? If either of them?
You could have said Ruby, I mean, you could have said Rio,
you could have said the THEA. You could have said hell no,
none of them I mean, I'm with the Theata like I had mentioned before.
But going back to Ruby Soho and real, No, I don't think
she's gonna beat I don't think Ruby's gonna beat Riho for a number of reasons.
One, she is the queen of jobbers like you had mentioned it,
and two she has his ongoing story with that I can't remember his name now
guy, Yes, yes, exactly, She's got that ongoing story. And
then you also got that you know on the side with uh with what am
I? Why am I calling her page? But you know what I'm talking
about. Yes, so Riah, So, I don't think she's gonna win
here, and you've got Rio coming back. Of course she's gonna win this
match, but you know, it kind of does stuff for Ruby. I
mean yeah, for Ruby because he hasn't want to go in any promotion,
but it's not gonna change with this match. So yeah, I don't see
Ruby Soho winning this match. Well, Renee, let's go to you.
Let's see what we've Let's see if you are going to be a little bit
different like me, or if you're gonna kind of stay the course. What
do you think is? Does Ruby Soho have a snowballs chance in hell beating
Rijo? And of Athena and Rio, which one do you think has the
better chance of being a belt collector? Or? Do either state a chance
to be a belt collector? I have to agree with the professor. I
think it was it's last book a professional professional. Sorry my bad, because
like she's gonna be too distracted with Angela Parker smooching her all the time in
that ring, and that's gonna cost her when it would all takes just a
quick roll up Rio, you know, and and ask for uh the belt?
Who should get the belt or beat the belt collector? Is that the
question? Yeah? Should should Rio be the belt collector? Should a Tha
be a belt collector? Should neither of them be a belt collector? Can
you imagine? I'm really serious, guys, can imagine a being that person?
Like she just gonna do more violence that you can that she ever does,
Like I can't sorry to go back to the past, but look at
her. Matt pass backs even on dark, dark elevations against nobody's Like,
it doesn't matter if it's nobody or an actual old wrestler. Right, do
you want that type of person to be a champion? I don't. I
know that everyone like Satina and all that, that's fine, but me,
it's like last thing one. It's like someone who's just gonna doesn't give a
damn it, just all cares about herself. That's it. You know,
Rio is this it's just something nice to see you. Oh. I'm like,
I'm gonna assume that Rio never won a belt before. Right, Rio
was the first aw world champion. Okay, my apologies, but I probably
yeah because I caught I caught on an w probably like a year two.
So yep, she was the inaugural women's champion in a w Okay. Yeah,
you know, let me start with the first question, and that's does
Ruby. So no, she does not stand in a snowball's chance. Now
being real, tomorrow night, I really do hope that Angela Parker comes out
and they create a baby tomorrow night, because it's the only thing that she
could probably possibly do, right, you know, I mean it's serious.
I mean I want to see her at least has some fun, you know,
because she's just gonna get the stop beat out of her tomorrow night,
you know, and it's not going to be pretty. But when it comes
to ReHO and for Athena. I really do want to see Athena back at
AW. She's too good for Ring of Honor and she's being wasted on a
show that nobody watches. And frankly, she is the star of aid of
Ring of Honor because she's the only one that's the mainstay there. Everybody else
in Ring of Honor comes over to AW and fights at AW. You know,
so I got to give it to a theater. She's basically stayed in
Ring of Honor and has been the anchor to that. She deserves a title
shot. Do I think she's a belt collector? No? Do I think
Rejo is the belt collector? No? I think that they may each get
a belt. I could see Rio maybe taking the belt off of Julia Hart.
I could see athenambing the women's World Champion, and I be fine with
that. Do I think it's going to happen, No, but I could
see it. I don't know if you understand the distinction there. But it
brings up another interesting point, you know, because there's two women that are
out there that are really being talked about, you know, going to either
AW or WWE. Mostly talked about going to WWE, So it could be
a boot point, and there's also a third or. But you've got Mercedes
Monet who is going to be going somewhere soon, Julia from Stardom, who,
in my opinion, is probably one of the top five wrestlers in the
world right now. I didn't say women's wrestlers. I mean it, she's
one of the top five wrestlers period in the world right now. Got Deanna
Perrazzo also that's available. I mean, I think more than likely you're going
to see Parazzo coming to AW. Unfortunately, I think that Mercedes and probably
Julia are going to go to w W, although frankly I think they'd both
be smarter to stay and stardom and then to go there. But that's my
thing. I think that if you're going to have a belt collector, one
of those three winner's going to be your belt collector. Not what we've got
now, it's scary. What do you think about the status of the aw's
women's division is as good as it's gotten. If AW can somehow score all
three of those women, forget about it, best women's division in the in
the world automatically with those three women. I mean, I believe Mercedes' contract
is you know, she's a free agent. I believe Pazzo is a free
agent and Julie, I think is a free agent come March, and she
has stated she wants to come to the United States, so that's going to
be interesting to see. And speaking of spiky spicy predictions, let's go with
our spicy predictions for the week. These could be something about the matches that
are coming up tomorrow night. It could be a storyline that we haven't talked
about yet that maybe what are you thinking here? It didn't even talk about
the Devil tonight? Unbelievable, but anyway, it's leazy. Do you have
a spicy prediction that doesn't include you know who and you know who about you
know what? Good times? So uh, I do have a prediction here,
and that's with the Golden Jets. I think, what's gonna happen?
They're gonna challenge for the tag titles and then you know, Ricky Starks comes
in and looks like an absolute idiot while Big Bill comes in looks like an
absolute chad, and then you know they're they're gonna have the match, and
then that leads to a later prediction. I think the Golden Jets are gonna
be your new tag team champions soon and then Big Bill is going to be
a Chad and dumped the Virgin Ricky Starks. Oh you forgot the he start
for the Virgin. He's Vanilla, Yes, Vanella Rock, Ricky Starks Virgin
Vanilla Rock. Rudy so professional. What's what's your spicy predictions? Yeah?
I know this is probably gonna be a weak early, but I think that
thunder Rosa is gonna return soon. Oh, I don't know if it's a
week early. It's the San Antonio show next weekend or is that the Saturday?
No, yeah, it's next Saturday. Yeah. I think thunder Rosa
is gonna return at that show. It makes so much sense. She's ready,
she's been getting her name out there with just various interviews at the timing
is right. I just don't know who she I guess interrupts or maybe it's
a Tony Storm. But I am predicting a thunder Rosa return next Saturday at
Collision in San Antonio. So I will throw it over to with men.
All right, thank you, thank you. A wow, that's a tough
one for me. Good but all right, I'll give give one out.
I'm gonna say the final bat there's a match that was that no one has
been talking about, Shane Taylor versus Keith Lee. Oh yeah, meat on
meat, just like the other match there, match I saw on the Otter
Otter brands, which I will not mention to who we are, but if
you do, do you know my watching google it? Okay? Anyways,
So besides BCC versus H versus Brisco and FDR, I'm but my prediction is
gonna be Lee will win on top. I don't like Shane Taylor, never
had never will makes me feel good when someone can take him down because the
last time I seen Shane taking an l was ar Fox and that and we
know what Fox can do when he's on, so he's his quickness and everything
else. Take League, take a tear. So I don't know, well
that's gonna go. But I just know, like like some people will say,
it's gonna be a banger. That's my Spice prediction. Taylor will lose
Delee fair enough. I can't argue that one either. That's that's a pretty
good prediction. I'd go back to the professional here with my prediction because my
prediction also has to do with thunder Rosa. Thunder Rosa was actually on a
Texas morning like you know morning show this this week where she was plugging the
shows coming up and in Texas, specifically the San Antonio show. I'm going
to disagree with you just a hair on this the professional I think, Tony,
I think that thunder Rosa shows up before the San Antonio show next week.
I think she shows up this week either on MT or Rampage or whatever,
and issue is a challenge for next week because she's back and she's ready
to go. Just don't come out. I mean it makes sense if you're
gonna have her go out, have her go out with and have a match,
don't have her just go out and wave at the crowd and and whatnot.
She's gonna get The pop question is well she get a world title shot,
you know, two weeks before. It makes a lot of sense because
you can use that to sell tickets as opposed to, like you just said,
of Wave pretty much opponent for worlds in. Yet I don't. I
don't even think they like hinted at her even having a match that world in.
I mean they not really you Mariah May just standing around looking cute.
I mean, I think the only championship match we have set for World's End
is mg F and Samoa Joe right, that's correct, Yes, a Big
Bill and Ricky Starks. Nothing, Tony Storm nothing, Julia Hart nothing.
I think she is going to fight Abadon, but I don't think they're going
to keep that. That's not a pay per view match. That's a ram
page match. If he asked me with Julia r Da like a you know,
these a zero hour match, if you will, Yeah, it's between
Abdon and Heart. Yeah, but you know, Heart has already proven.
I mean she spent in the last proper pay per views and did really well
and you know, gotten really good reactions, really good match ratings for women's
matches. The Heart match, as a matter of fact against stat Lander was
rated much higher, and the Tony Storm went over what the hell did Tony
Storm beat Sorea? I think so I can't remember who the champion was,
sore because remember like Kelson that oh it was a car. Oh sorry Sia,
my my bad. But no, I mean it was That's what I'm
saying. It was so inconsequential I could remember it. I mean I had,
you know, rain cramp. I just couldn't remember who the who the
champion was that Tony Storm took it off of, you know, right well,
but I also still don't remember too where Sara was when the belt that
you know, all in London how become a sensation over the country too,
that that matters, but just it's just that's one thing possed in my mind
for twenty twenty three. Yeah, moments of I mean, I mean when
you I mean, when you look at it, I mean, we were
doing some stories, that's not the problem, but they're you know, look,
the Continental Classic is going to culminate at World's end, and that is
a titled belt right there. So so the World MGS title defense against Mojo
is not the only title up for grabs right now. We already know that
the Continental Classic title is going to be up for grabs, so, you
know, and that's a I think they're making a big deal out of that,
and I think that they're holding off on any other championship bounts just so
that it doesn't take away from the prestige of the Continental Classic that I know
that Sleezy is just dying to see. But anyway, that is good to
be our show for tonight, I wanted to thank Sleezy the professional and Renee
for coming out and chatting with us. We are AW fans, all of
us here a W fans, and we do this for AW fans, and
we do it for ourselves because we just like hearing our voices. That's the
best way to put it. So moreverda and for a professional and sleazy this
is Kelson. Good night, everybody,
