WEBVTT

1
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.160
It's Tuesday. You know what that
means. It's time for Ignition with AW

2
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:20.239
Fan Hobbs podcast team. This is
Kelson and this is Alex, and we

3
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:26.079
are going to talk about something that
I think we all thought was coming at

4
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:33.000
some point. I know I did. We're talking about releases, AAW's first

5
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:38.840
ever big batch of releases. I
think they've released a person here or there

6
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:44.280
before, but never like this.
It's kind of like what we've seen from

7
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.719
WWE in the past, like one
day of just ten, twelve, fifteen

8
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:56.600
people getting released, and now aw's
kind of done the same thing. But

9
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:02.439
you know what compare just a quick
question, Alex compared to a like a

10
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.799
W releases to w w's releases,
I just fell over my tongue like Mercedes

11
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:15.319
Bonet on Wednesday night. Compared to
a W releases to w DOT. I'm

12
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:23.079
gonna get this out one way or
another. To w W, I I

13
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:30.560
feel like that guy from Liberty Mutual
Commercials. It's not a star studded list

14
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.239
of releases, right exactly. There's
not that much of it. I mean

15
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.239
it's an impact, of course to
the wrestlers, But do you feel you

16
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:44.359
guys fields impactful to the shows themselves. Like I will say, I don't

17
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.680
think there's anyone that is looking at
this list and being like, oh wow,

18
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:56.920
w W he needs to pick up
gravity or right right, I don't

19
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:04.560
think is with the Triple A now
right he was there, people were saying

20
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.159
like, aw, put him on
loans, So maybe he's just there for

21
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:15.439
for good now or for an extended
time. Yeah, but what do you

22
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:23.879
say, I'm going to give the
for me. The people that I that

23
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.240
I think would be missed the most
that to me added the most to the

24
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.479
show, and not even ae W
because they're barely featured, was the Boys,

25
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.560
just because that's such a big part
of Dalton Castle. And I think

26
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.400
Dalton Castle's a guy that you can
I mean, he's mostly been on R

27
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.520
O H and probably the most entertaining
part of that show in a lot of

28
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.039
ways. And if you have him
on Collision or Dynamite, I think people

29
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.159
like to see him. So But
but I mean, they could be anyone.

30
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.599
You could have anyone be the Boys, So it's like it's a right,

31
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:05.360
yeah, yeah, I don't see
anybody on this list that you know

32
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.560
is going to make an impact anywhere. Yeah either either I mean they they

33
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.000
I mean, Gosha. I understand
people, you know, she messed up

34
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.080
or whatever a couple of times.
But that's the probably the biggest impact because

35
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.439
it's gonna change Saturday night. Other
than that, I'm sitting there going,

36
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.719
who are these guys? Okay,
and there's like eight of them and there

37
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:34.120
everybody's making it. Oh they're so
it made massive layoffs. Park of RDA

38
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.680
never really hit hit big and stuff. He uh, he was swore for

39
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.639
a while and he never went sailing
he was supposed to. Uh. And

40
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:49.199
the guy he was with, Slim
j H for the r O H guy

41
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:54.039
kind of had a weird gimmick.
So I don't see anybody boys were kind

42
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.479
of weird. But I could see
that because they're you know, they're not

43
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.360
needed. Uh yeah, because one
of the people, like Alex made the

44
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.599
point. I've heard other people make
the point that anybody could be the boys.

45
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:13.759
Yeah, you know, and like
what Sutton said about Dasha, I

46
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:18.040
mean, well, we made the
post about it on on the aw fan

47
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:27.480
Hub subreddit. By far, Dasha
and the Boys got the most oh no

48
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:33.120
responses. Of course Anthony Henry did
too, but by far the most went

49
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.759
to the boys and to Dasha.
And like with Dasha, you know,

50
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.040
people are like, why did she
well, aw did hire and I may

51
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.560
mess up her name and I and
I apologize? Where our Katie or Aura

52
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.839
or Aurora to be their new ring
announcer. They did that several weeks ago,

53
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.480
and I believe she has done some
work on Ring of Honor recently.

54
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.000
But you know, if you go
on our life chats, I mean we

55
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.000
were making comments all the time on
our live chats. Boy, Dasha really

56
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:11.240
is messing up, you know.
So, I mean it's as simple as

57
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.079
that. I mean, she really
was making some mistakes like calling wrestlers by

58
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.319
the wrong name and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, I mean that

59
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.399
one, that's the one that makes
me the saddest to think about it,

60
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.879
just because like I went to the
live show and you see her there and

61
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.600
she's like interacting with the crowd like
in between breaks. So she's really out

62
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.480
of all these people, like part
of the show the most. But right,

63
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.240
yeah, is she is she a
big loss? I don't. I

64
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.600
don't think so, Like, yeah, she's probably the most visible in the

65
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.319
live shows, right, but yeah, you know, look, why do

66
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.040
you think they did these releases?
I mean, obviously Tony Kahan has the

67
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.240
money, so he doesn't need to
cut people to save money. You know,

68
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.240
it's not like he was gonna go
under if he kept these people on.

69
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:05.600
What what reasons do you see for
the releases of these wrestlers and talents

70
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.600
I see. I saw an article
the first time I saw them saying about

71
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.439
it. They were saying, well, they and I didn't see who was

72
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.279
released. I just saw the releases
or that they had made releases, and

73
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.279
they were saying it was they wanted
to make room for allowing the talent who's

74
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.040
still there more time. I thought, after I saw the reason, I'm

75
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.639
going, wait a minute, these
guys, these people aren't even being used

76
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.199
on aw that makes no sense.
And I think it was uh, I'm

77
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.639
not sure which one it was I
saw, but I just it was just

78
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.360
weird. I think it's just I
don't know, maybe just to clear up

79
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.680
the roster a little bit of the
people that aren't being used, I guess,

80
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.399
mm hmm. Like they have a
lot of people in the roster,

81
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.879
and like some of these names you
look at, like Gravity, like they

82
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.720
had so many Lutra doors and then
they brought Gravity and like he wrestled and

83
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.279
he was clearly probably the worst of
the luchadors that they signed, and really,

84
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.480
yeah, like compared to like El
Hyo, Dovi Kingo and Bambando and

85
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.759
Ruche and Commander and like Andrade l
Idolo when they had him, like he

86
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:26.759
was clearly the worst of them.
I think he's Bandido's brother, and yeah,

87
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.639
like Joe's Jose the assistant. Like
did they really need him as a

88
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.519
manager as well? They have so
many managers? Yeah, it's yeah,

89
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.839
it's hard. Like clearly, I
think if they went backstage and they had

90
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.680
the management of AW and they're like, Okay, we're gonna rate the ten

91
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.879
worst people on a list, and
then they all compiled the other list,

92
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.879
it probably looked like this, And
like Stu Grayson, he's not the worst,

93
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.720
but he's not even he doesn't have
a visa to be in America,

94
00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:03.480
Like how can you keep him on
sore too? So uh yeah, you

95
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.079
know, I really feel like I
really feel like this is the this is

96
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.759
AW kind of testing the waters and
see how people will respond to these.

97
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.720
Uh. You know, for years
everybody would cry, moan and wail over

98
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:26.279
every single WWE release, and I
thinks to them saying, Okay, I

99
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.680
realized this is first of all business. And you know, my opinion,

100
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.320
this is good for Tony Conna started
doing because he needs to realize that not

101
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.399
everybody can be on the roster,
and then he needs to shorten down.

102
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.039
I could see a few months later
there's some more cuts, slowly but surely

103
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.759
weeding down the roster because it needs
weed it down. Uh you know,

104
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.039
but that's one of the biggest drives
about Tony is that he wants to keep

105
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.320
everybody. And I think he's finally
realized this is the business and he has

106
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.200
to do the right thing and kind
of cut out people. No, I

107
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.519
agree with you, but I don't
agree with what you said, Alex about

108
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.879
them cutting the worst. And I
know you didn't really mean that, but

109
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:11.399
like like you said it, but
you know, it's just that the ones

110
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:20.360
that are wrestlers in this list are
frankly their jobbers. And aw has a

111
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:28.000
wealth of jobbers and we always complain
about predictable job matches in our live chats.

112
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.679
Well, this may actually cut down
on jobber matches because you're paying these

113
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.759
people. You want to get them
into the ring and get your money's worth

114
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.159
out of them. But it's not
good for ratings. So, hey,

115
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.639
it is what it is, but
I want to move on because on collision

116
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.559
we saw Ricky Stark's which looked to
me like a clear audible take the pin

117
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.600
due to an injury, which he
later said that he's fine and there's nothing

118
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.720
to worry about. They were just
taking p cautions, which is a good

119
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.039
thing. I'm happy they did it. But from all from what I've seen

120
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.759
and heard, it looks like the
ending was audibled, and actually Ricky Stark's

121
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:20.799
A Big Bill were booked to win
that match. And now we've got you

122
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:28.639
know, Top Flight going on to
face the Bucks and FTR face Yeah.

123
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:35.039
Yeah, it's best best friends going
on to chain to take on the Bucks

124
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.879
and FTR and top Flight going on. So do you think that this kind

125
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:50.159
of changed the trajectory of the of
this tournament? Do you think that Ricky

126
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.720
Stark's A Big Bill, had they
won this match, would have gone on

127
00:10:52.799 --> 00:11:00.120
to the finals. No, No, Yeah, I think I think the

128
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.159
only thing it did was moved top
Light ahead one match, and I don't

129
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:11.279
think it's going to change the overall
tournament at all. Yeah, I'm I'm

130
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:18.120
pretty surprised. Yeah, yeah,
I'm surprised. That the plan was for

131
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.399
Ricky Starks and Big Bill to go
on and have a match with FTR again,

132
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:28.600
and I'm surprised. Yeah, Like
I feel like top play. It

133
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.320
makes more sense for them to go
on, and it makes more sense to

134
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.879
build up teams that are more interesting
because like Ricky Starks and Big Bill were

135
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.320
kind of a dud team in my
opinion. They didn't really do anything for

136
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.240
the Belts. They really like tankd
the Belts in a lot of ways in

137
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.240
my opinion. So I mean,
I'm happy that they're not going on,

138
00:11:52.360 --> 00:12:00.000
Like I like those guys independently,
but wrestlers, right, yeah, exactly.

139
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.840
And I've been getting a bad vibe
from Ricky Starks lately. I don't

140
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.080
know if I'm reading too much into
things, but it seems like his uh

141
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.559
eyeser on the door. I wonder
I wonder if him calling an audible is

142
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.759
even part of that, like maybe
a bad attitude and just not wanting to

143
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:26.399
participate finding it out in a bad
way. So I don't want to put

144
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:33.799
kindling into the fire. But that's
yeah, Like here's my conspiracy theory,

145
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:41.840
but I don't want to come up
with a conspiracy theory. Yeah, that's

146
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.200
the vibe that I get. So
it's yeah, I mean he's doing with

147
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.120
Cody, and I can see it
happening. I don't it wouldn't be a

148
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.120
huge devastating loss for him to go. I like when he puts out,

149
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:00.279
but he's really went downhill after a
while with his promos. Uh. I

150
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.480
just think he wants to be elsewhere, And if he wants to try to

151
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.679
shot at the other place, that's
fine. I don't see him going far

152
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.200
as he thinks he will, but
we you know, we'll, we'll,

153
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.039
we'll see. That's a great thing
about having two companies like that, they

154
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.000
can go back and forth, right. Yeah. And then and like you

155
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.720
said, Alex and okay, he
is he's not been the same. I'd

156
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:33.159
say he's not been the same since
the he was working with uh Well and

157
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.679
all those guys and working with Taz, and then once he got away from

158
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.840
Taz, he had a little bit
of good you know run there, and

159
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.720
then all of a sudden he just
they started having the rumors that he's leaving

160
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.159
and and and after that it was
just like, well, I I'm out

161
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.279
the door. I'm just gonna slide
by and see what I have to do.

162
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.159
And and go from there. So
and I honestly think that top Flight

163
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.480
is one of the better teams in
aw. Their problem is they've had injuries,

164
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.720
so you know, they haven't been
able to show what they can do

165
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:16.720
together for so long. So maybe
them. Yeah, well, you know,

166
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.440
here's the thing with Ricky Starks though, I mean, he's been the

167
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.879
victim of misfortune for the last god
six to eight months. I mean,

168
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.000
he was working with CM Punk and
Sampunk was doing a good job getting him

169
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.559
over and then sempunk. You know, whatever happened to CM punk and before

170
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.600
that, if I'm not mistaken,
he was I can't remember who he was

171
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.080
doing a program with, but that
person got injured as well. You know,

172
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.279
so every time that he got into
a some kind of story, something

173
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:56.159
happened to the story that was not
his fault. That's true. And yeah,

174
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.320
and that's that's the thing sometimes people
overlook is even like what exactly was

175
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.000
his injury? Someone I heard say
it was a stinger. That was a

176
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.200
way I get. I don't know, I've heard different things. Yeah,

177
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.919
But anyway, let's let's move on
kind of chipped gears here, because we've

178
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.799
got for Bidden Door coming up,
and we've got CMLL, and you know

179
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.120
that that aw sent the Matt Sidell
and Brian Danielson and John Moxley to Mexico

180
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:33.799
and they had a really really great
match in CMLL. And then you have

181
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:39.200
Stardom who sent me orship Mina Shirakawa
to the United States and she wrestled a

182
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.720
couple of weeks ago for Ring of
Honor, and now it's Super Card of

183
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:50.000
Honor on Friday night. We've got
an all stardom, three women, six

184
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:56.080
women tag match going on. And
well, the question is is that I'm

185
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.000
kind of excited about these Stardom women
coming into AW you And the other question

186
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:07.879
is who would benefit from a w
women going and wrestling and spending some time

187
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:17.200
in stardom. That's a good question. Yeah, well, you know,

188
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.080
I think it's a good showcase anybody
knew, just to get anybody out there.

189
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.879
But if we're asking who could go
to start them, I think,

190
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.519
along with Jack Perry, I think
Anna j should go over. I think

191
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.879
it would help her a lot and
give her an edge, teach her a

192
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.399
little bit more about what she needs
to know, and so you know,

193
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.840
if she's been stuck with different people, she's never really been by herself that

194
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:44.639
much. She was stuck in the
Jericho Appreciation Society and stuff, and Jericho

195
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.080
tried to work with her. But
I think Anna J is the main one

196
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.879
who I would send over. Okay, yeah, that's a good choice.

197
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:56.360
M Yeah, I definitely agree with
Anna J. Another one that comes to

198
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.879
mind and like, and I think
she's great already, but she's young and

199
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:07.920
could probably really benefit from more experience, would be like sky Blue. Yeah,

200
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.880
Like, I think she's great,
but I think having that like extra

201
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:18.640
seasoning and experience would be great as
well. And that's the thing Stardom is.

202
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:23.440
The that's what Stardom is. You
know, it's a women's wrestling company,

203
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:33.119
and anybody that's not involved in the
main aw stuff could benefit from going

204
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.640
over there, you know, it
doesn't I don't know. Those two are

205
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.839
great. I'm not sure there's anybody
that I could say after that it would

206
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:47.000
be like that would I mean,
you couldn't really say anybody that wouldn't benefit,

207
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.759
you know what I mean? Now, Well, have you guys watched

208
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.559
startup matches before? Do you have
experience more startups? I've seen like two?

209
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.519
Yeah, Well, in my opinion, Stardom is known for for a

210
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:06.799
couple of things. One is the
pageantry. I mean, they put like

211
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.039
they're on the level of Rick Flair's
robes. When they come out of the

212
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.920
tunnel and come to the ring,
it's an event kind of thing. You

213
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.480
know. They are really hamming it
up. They're really doing great jobs with

214
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:26.119
their entrances. The second thing is
is that they're surprisingly hard hitting. I

215
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.000
mean, I'm gonna put it to
you this way, I'd much rather watch

216
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.720
a Stardom match than an AW or
WWE match. I've not really seen a

217
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:44.079
CMLLL women's match, but Stardom just
blows AW and WWE bottom of water in

218
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.839
my opinion. So when I think
of ae W women that could go to

219
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.799
stardom, I look at that kind
of thing, who's hard hitting and or

220
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.039
has the pageant try. I can
think of two women that I think would

221
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:03.920
really benefit from stardom. One is
Abadon. She's the exact kind of thing

222
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.799
that stardom would thrive on with the
character. She would be a big hit

223
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:14.720
and start them with just her character
alone. The second person is Red Velvet.

224
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.839
I think Red Velvet would learn a
lot in stardom, and I think

225
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.440
she would actually shine and start them. And I do agree with you guys

226
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.079
with Ada Jay and if they can
send these women over on like a rotating

227
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.359
basis, that would be great.
I would love to see Stardom women come

228
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:36.480
on a rotating basis to AW.
I think that's the plan. I honestly

229
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.200
do, because they made not a
giant deal about it. But when they

230
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.920
you know, that was during Big
Business. They had the guy from Stardom

231
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.960
there, and I was looking forward
to them saying something on the show because

232
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.920
that, to me is kind of
an important thing that they're having a working

233
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.920
relationship with a company that has that
history, you know what I mean.

234
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.039
So, but they never were really
blew it up out of the water,

235
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:03.720
but I think it. I think
it's I think that's what their plan has

236
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:11.599
been, is to maybe even have
a bigger working relationship with Stardom than they

237
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.759
have with Light New Japan. Oh
yeah, definitely. I mean Stardom look

238
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:21.960
at Stardom, you know with a
Rossio Gowa or Gawa Rossi leaving the start

239
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.920
as old promotily didn't leave. He
got fired, but he is starting his

240
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:29.640
own promotion. And there are I
believe there was five women that left Stardom

241
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.799
at the end the marchiners. I
know Julia is leaving in the middle of

242
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:38.720
April to go on her own as
well, so Stardom's roster is definitely depleted

243
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.079
a little bit. Now. There
are a lot of these women that are

244
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:52.920
very much dedicated and loyal to Stardom, so they would definitely benefit from aw

245
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:59.880
Ring of Honor women going over to
Japan to participate in Stardom events. One

246
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.519
of the things about this match on
Supercard of Honor, there's a couple things

247
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.119
that I want to point out because
this is definitely a match that I am

248
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:12.319
looking forward to a lot. Because
these women hit hard. They just a

249
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:18.440
difference that you will see in this
match. They hit hard. Many of

250
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.880
these women are multiple time champions in
Stardom. These are not newbies. Even

251
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.119
though there are a couple that are
very young, like twenty one twenty two

252
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.240
years old, some of them are
seasoned veterans and champions. The other thing

253
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.759
that I wanted to put point out
on this is that on opposite sides is

254
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:45.119
Mina Shirakawa and sa Saya Kamatani.
I can't speak today. Two years ago,

255
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:51.400
Saya Kamatani hit Mina Shirakawa with a
phoenix splash, did not get the

256
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.920
pin, went back to the top
rope and here with this another phoenix splash,

257
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:02.319
and in a move that was reminiscent, very reminiscent of Sammy Guevara and

258
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:07.880
what happened between him and Jeff Hardy, Saya Kamatani came down on Mina Shirakawa's

259
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:15.799
face and literally caved in her mouth. Her teeth were dislodged, she was

260
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.160
bleeding profusely, and of course she
got the pin. And afterward Mina Shirakawa

261
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:27.519
cut an entire promo with her teeth
falling out. Oh God, I mean,

262
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:34.480
these women are tough. Mina Shirakawa
is a goddess to me. I

263
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:41.279
mean, just based on that alone, she is something to behold. I

264
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:49.680
Meankana Tamankano, I mean, she's
every bit as good as anything that aw

265
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.880
has. I mean, this is
one of the top women's wrestlers in the

266
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.599
world has better back. I think
she's ranked number five in the world in

267
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:03.119
p WI twenty twenty three, top
two fifty in women's When you look at

268
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.039
the top five, Julie was ranked
number two, Tam mcconno was ranked number

269
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:15.200
five. I mean when you've got
forty When you hold forty percent of the

270
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.039
top five women's wrestlers of the world, you're saying something, you know,

271
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:25.720
So this is I mean, if
you have not watched Stardom before and you

272
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:33.039
do have Honor Club, I highly
recommend tuning in on Friday night from Philadelphia,

273
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:38.680
Pennsylvania to watch this match because there's
there's gonna be some there's some great

274
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:45.160
matches on this card, and I
mean, this is a good card.

275
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:51.279
This, this Supercard of Honor is
a good card and very very much worth

276
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:56.440
watching. And speaking of worth watching, let's go right into our Dynamite preview,

277
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.599
DALAXI, which match do you want
to talk about first segment? Do

278
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:06.039
you want to talk about first Well, keeping with the topic at hand,

279
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:11.880
I guess thunder Rosa versus Mariah May. This is kind of a cool match

280
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.640
in two ways because I think it's
going to further the story. We're gonna

281
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.079
get a much clearer picture of like
what Tony Storm is going to be doing

282
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:26.680
at Dynasty, and it's also just
going to be a good match. Like

283
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:33.559
thunder Rosa versus Mariah May. I'm
leaning towards thunder Rosa most likely winning,

284
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.880
But but who knows and and it's
gonna be a really good showcase match for

285
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:45.240
Mariah May, right, I agree, And but it also has a lot

286
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:51.160
of potential for Shenanigans, let's say, because absolutely you know you've got you've

287
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:57.039
got the whole Mariah May super fan
of Tony and is she you know,

288
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.559
with the reaction that Tony's and having
you know, her character? For for

289
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:10.039
me, Tony Storm now is more
about her character than the title I don't

290
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.559
like, yeah, more than even
the wrestling. It's more about her.

291
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.319
It's it's I can't even think of
any way that this has been done in

292
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.480
the past, either where it was
the it's what she does in the ring

293
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:30.000
really doesn't matter, because you know, it's it's the the whole thing that

294
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.000
she's doing outside the ring. And
and to me, that's just kind of

295
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.880
weird because you know, you would
you would think you would want your you

296
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:42.039
would want your champion to be wrestling, and she puts on matches, and

297
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.400
she puts on decent matches when she
does. But how many times has she

298
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:51.160
defended the title since she's had it? Like three or four? Maybe?

299
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.480
Yeah, probably better? You know, it's kind of one of those it's

300
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.759
kind of one of those things where
it's like, Okay, Tony, you

301
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.319
you've got the title and you've got
this amazing character that you're using and you're

302
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:06.400
doing, but where's it going,
you know, I mean, if you're

303
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.279
going to keep the title and what's
the point because she you know, if

304
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:11.440
it's a character and you're not doing
much stuff in the ring, it's time

305
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.880
to move on. So this might
be the perfect opportunity for Tony too.

306
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.400
I'm kind of one thunder Rosa to
win, but I don't know that she's

307
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:29.839
going to because it sets up that
that ability to split those two apart and

308
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.240
put Mariah on her own. And
I was going to say about Thunder,

309
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.680
it's just like I said last week, we were talking about it. To

310
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:40.960
me, she's just she just didn't
seem to have gotten back fully yet,

311
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.680
you know what I mean, her
match last week, she seemed a little

312
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:51.000
hesitant. Lady Frost was amazing in
that match, But I just get that

313
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.640
like tentativeness for Thunder. And I
understand. I mean, she had a

314
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.880
back issue that kept her out for
over a year, right, you know,

315
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.920
So I still think that there's a
few of the more experienced people that

316
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:10.839
are coming back from injuries who are
easing in instead of going, you know,

317
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.119
right back to what they're they're they're
used to. Unlike like when Omega

318
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.319
was hurt, he came back out
and went crazy like he was before.

319
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.000
But I don't, I don't know. I just I would love to see

320
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.839
thunder Rose to get that title shot, but I don't think it is time

321
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.960
for that yet. Well, let
me ask a question before anybody else breaks

322
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.839
in. But because this was on
my mind, Mariah May does she come

323
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:38.920
out in her vintage Tony Storm harlequin
costume or does she come out in her

324
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:45.400
glamour costume? I think she's coming
out as hard as as the in this

325
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.799
match tomorrow. I think she's coming
out as the Tony Storm. Okay,

326
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.200
I think I think because that would
that would like I said, it's going

327
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:59.119
to depend on how they play it
out, but I think she continues that

328
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.839
until they have that match. Okay, Yeah, Will Did anybody else have

329
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:10.200
any thoughts on on this? Yeah? I think for sure we're gonna see

330
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.359
a few more Mariah May dressed as
Tony Storm. I think that that's like

331
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.039
just maybe peaking right now, and
then we're gonna get the fall from grace

332
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:25.319
and then feuding eventually maybe months down
the line is where I see it leading.

333
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.160
But yeah, I think we're still
in like the buddy buddy phase right

334
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:36.240
now. Yeah. So, you
know, the way I look at it

335
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.920
is, I personally think Mariame is
gonna come out as glamour. I think

336
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:44.640
she's gonna come out her glamor outfit
because she's one hundred focused on winning this

337
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:49.559
match, not being the lackey or
the doll of Tony Storm. And if

338
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:56.480
Mariah May comes out in her glamor
outfit, Tony Storm is gonna be unhinged,

339
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.039
and that's gonna be pure entertainment.
I mean, when you look at

340
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.720
this, the only time that Tony
Storm pays any kind of positive attention to

341
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:11.720
Mariah May is when Mariah May is
emulating Tony Storm. Right, So,

342
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.640
and let's keep in mind also,
you know, I kind of I kind

343
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.799
of agree with everybody that said that
thought der Rossa was going to win this

344
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:23.880
match. I would love it if
Mariah May did. Because Maria May's product

345
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:30.240
basically where she's had her most success
was in stardom, which is what we

346
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:37.559
were talking about, and Tony Storm
had many many great matches. It started.

347
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:40.839
A matter of fact, if you
go and just look up Tony Storm

348
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.000
stardom, you will see the huge
difference in the matches that Tony Storm had

349
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:52.119
stardom compared to what she's had in
aw There's no there's no similarities. Her

350
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:59.240
matches and stardom were so much better. They just they just were. Yeah,

351
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.240
And I I feel like Tony Storm
hasn't, like at least the last

352
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:07.119
couple of matches, hasn't gotten the
time needed to put on a really good

353
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.720
match. Like if you look at
the last match at the last pay per

354
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.599
view, it was like the shortest
match on the card was that match,

355
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:21.960
And I felt just when it started
to get going, it ended. Yeah,

356
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.839
And I think a lot of that
has to do with that Tony.

357
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:32.200
You can't really say much against her
for her ability, but I think some

358
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.599
of it has been that there has
been a lack with the lack of movement

359
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:41.720
with their push with the women's division. It's been one of those things where

360
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.200
it's you know, you have a
champion that's been in other places and have

361
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:51.200
been very very successful, but they're
using her to build her Her character is

362
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:55.559
more important than the wrestling right now, because they don't really with Thunder being

363
00:30:55.640 --> 00:31:02.160
out and with the other injury as
they have in the women's division, there's

364
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.920
top those you know, top people
haven't been there for her to have the

365
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.480
matches with. Now you've got Dean, when Deanna came in, and now

366
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.920
you've got Monet. There's people you
can put in there. But this whole

367
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.319
the way she's doing her character and
stuff, something's got to change. And

368
00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:25.480
I think that's where the Mariah nything
comes in. Right, So a wild

369
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:30.119
net has just appeared that what we're
talking about is Mariah May versus Thunder Rosa.

370
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.319
We had just talked about stardom,
and of course Mariah May had spent

371
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.759
some time to stardom. I had
a question that I asked, this is

372
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.799
to put you on the spot.
Do you think that Mariah May is going

373
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:47.920
to come out on this match wearing
her Tony Storm Harley you know Harlequinn outfit.

374
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:51.559
You know you're emulating Tony Storm.
Or do you think that she's going

375
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.799
to come out in her glamour outfit? How what do you see in this

376
00:31:53.960 --> 00:32:01.400
match? I think we're gonna actually
start to see Mariah May as herself.

377
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:09.880
So I think she'll come out in
her glamour outfit moving away from Tony Storm

378
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:15.519
ever so slightly. But I think
that she's gonna start to be more of

379
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:21.079
herself. I'm excited to see it. You and I are thinking alike.

380
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:25.680
Everybody else thought that she was gonna
come out in the Harlequins. Oh,

381
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.079
I think it's time. I really
do. I agree with you. Let's

382
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.960
move on to the next match,
Alex, what do you want to talk

383
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:42.279
about next? Yeah, let's talk
about Daddy Ass versus Jay White. Ass

384
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:49.440
Uh. I think Jay Wade's definitely
gonna beat Daddy Ass here, and that

385
00:32:49.559 --> 00:33:00.440
sounds weird, but yeah, watch
your mouth. I'm yeah. I guess

386
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.480
we didn't get to ce j Waite
for the past few weeks because we were

387
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.960
in Canada and he had visa issues. So now he's back. He's gonna

388
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.799
fight Daddy Ass. I think he's
gonna win. But I think there's gonna

389
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:20.000
be a lot going on outside of
this match. Curious of your guys thoughts.

390
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:23.000
Yeah, I'm not. I don't. I don't want to see this.

391
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:31.319
I just well, why not.
I think there's a better match out

392
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:37.680
there for j White than Daddy Ass. What He's just you know, he's

393
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:45.599
been there done that. Yeah,
but okay, let me ask you this.

394
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:49.119
I mean, j White is a
heel. Daddy Ass is probably one

395
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:54.559
of the most beloved babyfaces right now. If Jay White does something horrible to

396
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:59.559
Daddy Ass, it's gonna have a
bigger impact when you'd agree, yeah,

397
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:02.519
I agree at that, but I
mean, nless it's a total awkward beat

398
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:07.559
down then, I don't you know, yah him Him's on me toe to

399
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:12.159
toe, you know, back and
forth with a much older guy. I

400
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:17.840
don't know that's going to help him
either, But I just would rather than

401
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:21.960
I don't know. Maybe I'm being
negative on it. I don't know,

402
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.000
but it's not my sporte. I'd
rather people like that age stay away.

403
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:30.800
I think it has to do a
lot with the the It's going to further

404
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.320
the rift between the two, and
it's going to lead to even possibly at

405
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:44.519
Dynasty where they either combine the titles
or there's something a triple match there that

406
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:52.400
ends that feud, possibly leaves the
Daddy assids retirement. But it's or you

407
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:53.360
know, there's a there's a whole
lot of things they could do with it,

408
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:59.000
but I think that's the reason they're
having it. Well, this matches

409
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.920
We're we're going to be in Massachusetts
for Dynamite and then we're going right back

410
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:08.840
to Canada for a few more dates, right. I think that's what they're

411
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:14.480
doing pretty sure. So they got
to do something big with Jay White because

412
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:15.639
he's not gonna be able to go
to Canada. So they got to do

413
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:22.800
something over the top big here to
get him the exposure he needs heading into

414
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:30.159
Dynasty. What could I possibly do? Well? God, I have a

415
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:37.360
question about kind of about that.
I was wondering if this whole feud with

416
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:43.880
Daddy Ass and Jay White is somehow
going to lead to a surprise return of

417
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:50.840
Juice Robinson. Very possible. Yeah, I was wondering if that's what they're

418
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:55.880
leading into. Since Jay can't go
into Canada, I'm guessing that Juice Robinson

419
00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:01.880
can and maybe he will avenge Jay
White in Canada kind of or some something

420
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:07.760
like that. So they're not in
Canada until May. So so not until

421
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.320
after Dynasty. Okay. Oh,
I thought they said they were going in

422
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:16.280
again Vancouver or something like that.
Yeah, they go Winnipeg, Edmonton,

423
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:21.639
Vancouver, May first, eighth,
eleventh. Okay, I thought that was

424
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.039
coming up sooner. My bad,
But yeah, I love. I love

425
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:30.400
what you said about Juice Robinson because
you know, I need some Muppet Jesus

426
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:36.559
in my life. Oh oh god. So they've been selling the Juice Robinson

427
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:40.039
like cardboard cutouts, and I don't
think they've been doing it the whole time,

428
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:45.159
but definitely, Like when I was
at Dynamite, they were selling them

429
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.960
in Toronto, right yeah, And
I saw it on Collision and in the

430
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:53.039
back there the other day they sell
them. I think he's imminently returning.

431
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:59.679
It's kind of weird that they had
the cardboard white that they took everywhere when

432
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:01.519
Jay wasn't around, but they haven't
done that for Juice. That's kind of

433
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:08.639
odd to me. Yeah, maybe
there's some but and they did intimate intimate

434
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:15.119
from the uh that vacation thing.
The guy in the background was Juiced.

435
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:22.159
So yeah, I just I think
he'll be back sooner than later and could

436
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:30.320
really throw a serious fork in the
mix in this That could be huge,

437
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:37.639
Yeah, I could well. And
they also need to figure out, I

438
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:44.320
mean, how's this match going to
deal with the uh guns and you know,

439
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:49.440
him him facing their dad. Are
they gonna get involved? Are they

440
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:54.960
gonna do something right as well?
Well? Did we see. Uh,

441
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:59.079
the acclaims say that they're going to
be staying in the back, and they

442
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:00.719
said, if you had any guts, you would stay in the back to

443
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:08.079
to the to the guns. That
Anthony Jones's thing, that's a recipe for

444
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:10.920
disaster. That opens it up because
he said the gun should come out.

445
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.519
Juice Robertson can come out because he's
not the guns, right yeah, yeah,

446
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:22.760
okay, yeah, hmmm, could
be interesting. That could be really

447
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.199
interesting. I mean, you can
have Juice Robins come out. It doesn't

448
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:30.840
necessarily mean he has to be in
the match at at Dynasty if he's not

449
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.000
quite ready to get back into the
ring yet in that capacity. This would

450
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:37.519
just give him a chance to get
visible again, right right, yeah,

451
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:45.480
and start up some nonsense distract people
at ringside kind of thing, you know.

452
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:52.000
Yeah. Yeah, So what do
we want to talk about next here?

453
00:38:52.800 --> 00:39:01.920
What is Chris Jericho doing with Hooks
out hook manager? M Yeah,

454
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:09.960
makes sense the manager, It looks
like that direction. But but hook doesn't

455
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:20.159
trust him, Well he shouldn't,
no Jericho, but I think he's gonna

456
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:23.320
keep him at a distance. But
I think Jericho can help him a little

457
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:28.719
bit with his promos maybe and give
him some back and forth. I don't

458
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:32.639
see another I don't know. I
don't see another Jericho workers hook match up

459
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:37.880
less Jericho turns again. Uh.
But but then again, it may be

460
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:43.880
a very good way for Jericho to
slowly turn back heel, because that's what

461
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:51.800
Jericho does best. I don't like
face Jericho. I think I think it's

462
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.119
kind of interesting where when it comes
to Hook, how you hear him in

463
00:39:55.159 --> 00:40:00.480
the somebody was saying that. I
think it was I can't I remember which

464
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:07.400
one it was, but someone was
talking about how he's a product of the

465
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:10.159
task being there and he's getting the
nepotism and all that. But that's the

466
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:15.440
one good thing about Taz. I
think with tast thing out of anything to

467
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.400
do with with Hook, it shows
that that's not you know, that's not

468
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:22.239
what's going on. I don't know. It could be a real good thing

469
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.239
for Jay And I can't think of
any reason why he would call him out

470
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:30.599
other than to be his manager.
It doesn't make any sense. Oh,

471
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:34.119
he did bring it up, so
I gotta say something here. It's totally

472
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:37.360
kind of off topic, but it's
kind of it could be give me a

473
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:42.440
little bit of a giggle here when
I'm looking at the official Dynamite graphic.

474
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:45.280
You got a picture It says Chris
Jerco calls out Hook, and you got

475
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:52.519
a picture Chris Jericho baking his you
know, lion growling face. They didn't

476
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:57.320
even put Hook in the graphic.
They just put his Batman signal spotlight with

477
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:04.079
Hook. I don't know why that's
got me all. I don't know why

478
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:07.440
that's got me like laughing my ass
off, but it does. I just

479
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:12.760
it doesn't take much to entertain me
at all. Somebody fall on their face,

480
00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:17.000
you know, that's that? Oh
God? But yeah, that's all

481
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:22.920
the explanation I have, Alex is
that is that Jericho is gonna be like,

482
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.360
I'm not I want to be your
manager, which they could have done

483
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:29.519
four weeks ago and been done with
it, but no, they had that

484
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:34.159
matches at a backstage segment. Yeah. My quick prediction is they're going to

485
00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:40.360
bring Cook's going to turn down Jericho's
mentorship, and then Chris Jericho is going

486
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:45.639
to bring out Sammy Guvara and then
they're going to try to take that tw

487
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:54.480
title out away from Hook. Oh. I don't know if that's interesting running

488
00:41:54.559 --> 00:42:00.199
around, you know, for a
title that doesn't even is an't even legal.

489
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:07.719
That the hell of a lot,
it's even the day they talk about

490
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.480
it. I mean, it is
the most worthless title in a w that

491
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.400
nobody really cares about that I know
of. I'm sure there are people that

492
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:22.400
do care about it. It's like, yeah, yeah, at our fellow

493
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:27.679
podcaster Sleezy C who is not here, and I think it's the most prestigious

494
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:31.320
belt at all of a W.
But then again, this moron thinks that

495
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:36.480
Chris Jered, probably Chris Jero thinks
that Griff Garrison is the best wrestler in

496
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.679
a W so and we give him
hell about it all the time. We

497
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:44.199
love this Sleezy. We miss Opie. He's in college right now, so

498
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:49.679
he's not with us tonight, but
he will be with us soon and we're

499
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:52.159
gonna have to hear about the f
W belt and Griff Garrison. I think

500
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:57.039
if you were a doctor and someone
told you that you would you would try

501
00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.800
to get that guy in a mental
institution. I've been trying. I've been

502
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:05.440
trying, been trying for the last
six months. Maybe maybe you were successful.

503
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:13.760
And he just uses college's excuse.
He is absolutely certified insane. With

504
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:19.039
this group. Will Will a lot. You just don't know. If you

505
00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:22.000
go back and listen to our previous
podcast, he constantly talks about the ft

506
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:30.559
W title being the most prestigious title
in all of a W, where everybody's

507
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:32.440
like, oh God, here we
go. It's kind of weird. To

508
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:37.679
go back for a second, it's
weird that they're having the Supercard of Honor

509
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:45.320
in Philadelphia this week. Well,
and they're bringing the girls from Stardom,

510
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:51.559
the women from Stardom. I'm sorry, the women from Stardom, you know,

511
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:55.239
I'm and uh, it kind of
is. It's just when we start

512
00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:00.400
talking about the ft the ft W
title, it kind of reminds me that

513
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:07.159
e c W was from Philadelphia,
and with the women from Stardom being the

514
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.119
hard hit it kind of just I
don't know why. It just kind of

515
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:15.039
clicked for me that that's weird but
also very cool that they're kind of doing

516
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:19.320
that. Yeah, I mean,
I'm excited about that match, I really

517
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:22.639
am. I just gutted about it. But anyway, let's move on,

518
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.800
Alex, your dealer's choice. What
do you want to talk about next?

519
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:32.480
Let's talk about Powerhouse Hobbs versus will
Ospray. So I guess it's the last,

520
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:38.280
the last of the inter Will Osprey
versus Don Kallas fans. Yeah,

521
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:49.199
the Battle of Wills. That's battle
wa wah wah h. Yeah, it's

522
00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:53.480
gonna be a cool match. I
think it'll be. Uh, you know,

523
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:59.280
Will Osprey can't do all the things
that Takeushta and Kyle Fletcher can.

524
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:04.519
He's going to be taking like a
top rope, poison ron or whatever you

525
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.400
mean. Will Hobbs, right,
Will Hobbs, Yeah, yeah, but

526
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.360
yeah, it's gonna be a cool
match. I'm excited for it for sure.

527
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:15.840
Just anytime we get to see will
Osbury wrestle is awesome. I wonder

528
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:25.000
if they'll bring out the painting to
have the painting. I'm hoping. I

529
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:31.079
am really hoping, so oh my
gosh. I'm like, seriously though,

530
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:37.719
what this is the last match of
the don Kallis Family Civil War. I

531
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:45.559
guess what are they doing here?
Anybody? Yeah? I think the show

532
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:51.760
claim Osprey can do it on different
opponents. Uh, Like I said,

533
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:58.519
he he basically fought his equal in
my opinion, with potash Gar. He's

534
00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:04.079
uh, you know, he thought
his partner, who's the same type of

535
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:07.320
style, but Hobbs Hobbs, they
really shouldn't. They really haven't showed him

536
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.159
against a big guy, but I
think he's a good showcase for him to

537
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.559
go against Hobbes as well. And
you know, like I said this,

538
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:19.400
like it's been hinting that before.
I think this is going to be a

539
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:24.239
melting down because once he beats everybody
from from the Cloud's family, you know,

540
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:27.519
he's better than everybody else, So
why is he really need to stay

541
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:34.239
there? That's my thoughts exactly.
And we like we've had all these matches

542
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:38.239
and we haven't had any drama at
all in any of these matches so far.

543
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:42.840
That's what I'm saying. I mean, I don't know if anybody else

544
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.239
agreesily, but these matches, I
mean, the match against cleud Fletcher was

545
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:49.920
great, the match against Takesta was
all of this world fantastic for me.

546
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:52.960
But there's been nothing that came of
it, you know what I mean.

547
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:59.480
There's there's got to be something that
happens. Philosophy just going to be doing

548
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.639
this tour of Kallis family. I
kind of agree with what MK was saying.

549
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.800
I think that you know, they
never really gotten they never really said

550
00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:12.880
that the United Empire broke up.
They're still he's still using the hand sign,

551
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.960
and I think that Osprey is going
to be like you know, and

552
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:20.960
and for honestly, for this match. I think this match is going to

553
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:25.039
not just be great for Ospray and
showing him against the big guy, but

554
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:35.519
I think this might be Hobbes's most
I want to say, talented competition that

555
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.679
he's faced in AW. So it's
going to be a way for Hobbes to

556
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:44.800
show that he does belong in with
the best of them. I think he's

557
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:50.440
kind of the overlooked guy in this
group. But I think what this is

558
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.320
going to do is I think this
is going to give Osprey that opportunity to

559
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.760
go, Okay, I've shown what
I can do, y'all are beneath me.

560
00:47:57.199 --> 00:47:59.320
I'm moving on. We're going to
go back to what I want to

561
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:01.960
do and I don't really need callous, which then will lead Don Callous to

562
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:07.719
being Don callous. Well, well, you got to remember there, Hobbs

563
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.920
is the hot head, and I
could see Hobbs getting upset and stuff.

564
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:14.920
I'm kind of pushing and shoving after
the match, and maybe that'll start a

565
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:20.639
slow rift of they start taking side
because he's not want to be pushed around,

566
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:22.679
and he likes to showing people up
too, and he's a big,

567
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:29.480
bad guy. So I could see
Hobbs losing his temper and start what wanting

568
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.559
to show off a little bit.
Yeah, I totally get that. I

569
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:37.480
agree with you. That's going to
be something to look out for. Anybody

570
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:44.880
else have anything to say about this
match and we'll move on. Do you

571
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:53.719
have any predictions based on the painting? Wills is in the Judas position in

572
00:48:53.840 --> 00:49:01.159
the painting, so yeah, so
I haven't. I don't know. That

573
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:07.000
painting has been perplexing me for quite
a while before I brought it up to

574
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:14.719
you all, so I don't know. But but like you pointed out where

575
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:19.360
Hobbes is in the painting, perhaps
we're looking at things the wrong way.

576
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:25.079
And it's not Osprey who's going to
break up, so to speak, but

577
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:30.920
it's Hobbes who's going to say,
you know, I've had enough of being

578
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:37.519
overlooked and you know, undervalued,
and I'm going to go my own way

579
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:46.800
and beat everybody up on my way
out the door. If you follow lay

580
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:53.320
hands on the person on the painting
that impresses me the most, absolutely stunningly

581
00:49:53.559 --> 00:50:02.639
gorgeous to questa yes, it's true. Well, that's the sexiest woman I've

582
00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:07.800
ever seen a painting like that.
And if if he does that, I

583
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:12.320
would like to see him pull off
kind of like the Mark Henry kind of

584
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:17.280
move where he just beats the living
crap out at everybody. Yeah. Yeah,

585
00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:22.840
that's pretty much what that was saying, you know, not just in

586
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.599
that, not just in the callis
Family, but with everybody, come out

587
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:31.719
and do because because to me,
I think that a lot of what they

588
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:39.960
were trying to do with Wardlow exactly
was that. But putting Wardlow with the

589
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:50.159
United with the Undisputed Kingdom kind of
well quashed that. And as Will Hobbs

590
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:53.280
to me, is a better It
would be a better because if I compare

591
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:57.960
with Wardlow and Will Hobbs, by
far, Will Hobbs is the better of

592
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:04.599
the two because he's more well rounded, He's he has he just he just

593
00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:07.519
has that. There Wardlow, I
don't know, he just doesn't. I

594
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:10.639
love Wardlow. I think he could
be a great character. Are more athletic.

595
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:15.320
He might be more athletic, but
when it comes to the I don't

596
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:22.239
know, it just seems weird to
me with Wardlow being edge. Yes,

597
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:28.639
it definitely has an edge. He
kind of reminds me of what Club Lang

598
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:35.719
was in Rocky three the first time. Seriously, I mean analogy. It

599
00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:40.360
kind of puts me it would be
like it would be like Wardlow would be

600
00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:45.480
Rocky in the first fight than you. So he's got a couple of people

601
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:53.000
on our panel to think that powerhouse
hobbs can't do what Wardlow did but couldn't

602
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:58.320
finish. Is that what we're saying? Yeah, I do, really do.

603
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:02.519
I think really you look at him, has that edge and a growl,

604
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:06.920
the roughness of it, and he
has a look at someone who can

605
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:10.119
beat your ass. And you know, I used to watch Bte and he

606
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:14.920
would have the gimmick of going around
and taking people's stuff and looking at you

607
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:22.280
funny and you know, uh,
he he has that look and they let

608
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:24.639
us you know, he may not
be as athletic as what Wardlow is,

609
00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:30.519
but he has that dominant factor that
you know when he comes into the ring

610
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:35.440
that's gonna be big. Whereas Wardlow
comes in and doesn't put on the same

611
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:39.679
type performance. It's all about aura
and gimmick with him, and he's and

612
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:49.039
he has that bad ass Mark Henry
gimmick that really shows through all right,

613
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:51.639
Well, I want to move on
and I want to talk. You know,

614
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:53.960
look, we're gonna have a segment. We got to talk about it

615
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:58.639
because it's part of Dynamite where Justin
Roberts is going to be standing in the

616
00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:02.880
ring looking like a waxy replicant and
he's gonna use that stupid smile that I

617
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:06.920
don't trust. He's scarce to piss
out of me when he smiles like that.

618
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:09.880
I don't know what it is about
it. But he's gonna introduce Swear

619
00:53:09.960 --> 00:53:15.400
Strickland and Samoa Joe to sign a
piece of paper. How many times has

620
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:21.519
this been done? And has it
ever been entertaining? Sometimes? Yes,

621
00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:30.599
we're gonna see here's my spicy prediction. We're gonna see security get their asses

622
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:37.000
kicked yet again. Yeah. I
think Prince Nanna is going through the table.

623
00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:46.639
Maybe Hangman, Oh, who's that
Hangman? I didn't even think of

624
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:51.639
that that. Maybe Hangman will come
out and disrupt the whole thing and nobody

625
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:57.519
will sign anything because of of Hangman, and then they still have the match.

626
00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:02.440
But nothing was really agreed to.
So hm hmm. I've been looking

627
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:07.559
for a Hangman to pop up.
Yeah, but he was taking some personal

628
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:12.039
time. So I'm not sure if
that personal time was you know what I

629
00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:14.519
mean, that was why he was
gone, and he just kind of like

630
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:20.639
disappeared after it was over and really
didn't say much, you know what I

631
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:28.079
mean. That would be interesting,
definitely would be interesting. Mmm, we'll

632
00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:31.000
see, you know. I don't
want to see a three way between those

633
00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:46.039
guys again. No, And you
honestly could hear the and the it was

634
00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:55.599
Rocky money, it was like coming
out, what the hell? You could

635
00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:59.280
hear the MGF music come on too, and he could come out and say

636
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:04.880
something. I'm I mean, he's
he's the possibility. I mean, there's

637
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:09.840
so many different things that could happen
in that or the other. Maybe no

638
00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:15.360
signing, but it'll be saying thing
someone tosses over the table. You know,

639
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:19.800
there's a fight ensued. It's kind
of cliche at this point, but

640
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:24.480
uh, I want I want those
two knows to nose. And because those

641
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:31.559
are two two guys. I like
Joe, but something about Swerve has that

642
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:37.280
look of a villain to me.
He looks like a comic book villain coming

643
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:40.159
into life, and he has that
look, and I think those two knows

644
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:45.679
to nose and putting on a shot
and then eventually enough swerve, you know.

645
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:46.679
But it's but there's got to be
more. I don't know how many

646
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:55.320
more weeks of this towards till it
has to be more of the story.

647
00:55:55.400 --> 00:55:59.039
So that's what I'm hinging on,
is what's left for them to do?

648
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:02.239
Well, one of the things that
I think is left for them to do,

649
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:07.159
and this isn't a match, but
one of the things on this match

650
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:12.199
card that is absent is Mercedes Monette, who I just mentioned, And are

651
00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:15.519
we going to see her tomorrow night? Because she seems to be like the

652
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:21.639
face of Dynamite right now. Dynamite's
like her show where she's the CEO,

653
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:25.920
because she's not made any kind of
appearance whatsoever on Rampage or well except well,

654
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:31.719
she did make an appearance on Rampage
on that three hour show but in

655
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:37.039
Toronto, but she's not made an
appearance at all on Collision. Are we

656
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:43.079
going to see Mercedes Monet and in
what capacity? I mean, in my

657
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:47.000
opinion, Mercedes needs to get into
the ring, but she may not be

658
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:51.920
quite ready to get in the ring
on a one on one basis, So

659
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:57.760
she's gonna need either to do a
tag or a three way match that will

660
00:56:57.840 --> 00:57:00.400
give her some time to recuperate.
Would you put her in the match with

661
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:07.599
Julia Hart and Billow Nightingale? No, I think I think if she gets

662
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:14.039
involved at all, it will be
in that match with Thunder Rosa and I

663
00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:20.239
have a feeling that Tony might get
involved and Monette might come out during that,

664
00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:22.480
and that might set up her first
match as a tag with Thunder,

665
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:30.679
which is a possibility. They could
tag her and Monete Money and Thunder versus

666
00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:36.400
the Champ and Mariah May That would
be you know, something they could do.

667
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:42.400
Uh. So I think that you're
probably right, though, Kelson about

668
00:57:42.440 --> 00:57:45.119
her not being ready yet. Like
I said before, it seems like a

669
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:49.199
lot of the I mean, I
can understand where she where. She may

670
00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:53.639
not be completely ready to go one
on one right now, and I don't

671
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:58.400
know. It just depends on what
they do with her and the plans there

672
00:57:58.800 --> 00:58:04.599
are. It's going to depend on
how ready he is. Well. I

673
00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:07.360
will say this, this is I'm
gonna make a slight prediction here, Okay.

674
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:15.440
Uh We've got the stardom women in
you know, in in in the

675
00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:27.559
area for for Friday night Wednesday night
in Massachusetts, I kind of think maybe

676
00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:31.880
somebody remember, you know, Mercedes
Monday was n GPNJPW at Stardom, and

677
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:37.239
I kind of think this would be
a good opportunity for them to have a

678
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:46.519
face to face with Stardom and maybe
even have a match on Collision, because

679
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:52.840
look, with Collision being at eleven
thirty pm on Saturday night, if they

680
00:58:52.960 --> 00:59:02.159
made a match with say, I
don't know, Mina Shirakawa, No Saya

681
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:07.880
Kamatani and Tamna Kano, that would
be a great match, or Tamakano and

682
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:15.320
Asym might think would be a better
match against Mercedes Monet and Willow Nightingale.

683
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:22.079
That's the possibility. And the reason
I'm saying that is because you know,

684
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:28.559
look, we've got an opportunity here
to build on story with a random match

685
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:34.199
toward forbidden door, you know,
and it would be a you know,

686
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:39.719
Willow's worked in Stardom and n jp
W. I think it would be a

687
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:45.079
pretty decent match. I'm just you
know, spewing right now. So somebody

688
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:50.719
say no, I think that makes
sense because they're filming Collision Wednesday night,

689
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:57.840
so Sash or Mercedes Monee could just
be working. She can still work Wednesday

690
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:04.239
night do a collision match. They're
going against WrestleMania for collisions. So you

691
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:07.440
know, if Tony wants to go
all out and try to do something that

692
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:12.440
can bring in some viewers, then
I think that'd be a good, big

693
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:17.280
attraction, bringing in stardom women and
also you know, building that relationship.

694
01:00:17.440 --> 01:00:21.719
So yeah, I really like that
idea. Yeah, I mean, look,

695
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:25.679
I mean when does when does WrestleMania
stop and on just normally because I

696
01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:30.000
don't know, on Saturday night,
Yeah, probably like eleven or twelve.

697
01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:36.880
I'm not okay. So you put
Mercedes Monet in a match on a collision

698
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:42.119
and have her, you know,
attag match. That's I mean, look,

699
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:45.480
you spend all this money on Mercedes
Monet to have her sit there and

700
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:50.880
go that is good, you know, and thought it you know kind of

701
01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:55.280
thing. I mean, come on, I mean yeah, I was like,

702
01:00:55.599 --> 01:01:00.719
my god, it's like you thought
Kevin Kelly was bad. You know,

703
01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:05.760
I kind of agree with you.
They I see them throwing her in

704
01:01:05.840 --> 01:01:12.199
a match, even if it's a
one on one match on collision because of

705
01:01:12.519 --> 01:01:15.920
needing to make sure people tune in. And it doesn't matter if she wrestles

706
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:21.400
tiny tim you know, she's gonna
get people to come watch that show because

707
01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:29.679
people want to see her wrestle.
Yeah. Yeah, that's just and you're

708
01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:31.400
gonna you know, that's a whole
other thing to try to think about what

709
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:35.880
they would do for Collision, because
it is important that it's going to be

710
01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:39.400
such a late night show because you're
asking people to stay up from eleven thirty

711
01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:45.679
eleventh East Coast, eleven thirty to
one thirty. Yeah, and if people

712
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:49.840
have something for them to watch,
you know, they're going to DVR and

713
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:53.800
watch it later. Yeah. I'm
dreading the live chat because that time of

714
01:01:53.920 --> 01:01:58.599
night, after people have a few
drinks in them, that's gonna be rowdy

715
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:06.400
bunch be talking all there won't be
much uh talk of a w and that

716
01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:12.320
I don't think it'll be all yeah, well we won't be talking about WWE

717
01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:15.800
and the aw van have live chat
for Collision. Uh, but you know,

718
01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:19.159
hey, if people want to get
on there, you know, in

719
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:22.519
the chat early and talk to her
in WrestleMania, I don't have a problem

720
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:27.199
with it, to be honest with
you. Look, Uh, anybody else

721
01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:31.639
have any thoughts on Mercedes Monday and
what she might get involved with in on

722
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:37.199
Dynamite If anything. Well, I
don't know. I mean that musld be

723
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:45.800
something because she's depaying all this money, but there'll be a backsay have prior

724
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:49.760
commitments or something, so you know
what she does. Maybe they're taking the

725
01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:52.320
break, run her for a week
and letting her cool down because she's been

726
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.000
on there every week. And then
like the other thing you could always say

727
01:02:55.119 --> 01:03:00.480
is if Tony wants to pull one
over on WWE, who better to have

728
01:03:00.599 --> 01:03:07.039
in a match on Saturday night after
wressell Madia than Monette Exactly. That's what

729
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:08.800
I was saying. Yeah, that
would that would be I don't know.

730
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:12.119
I would love to see her in
a match, but I don't know.

731
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.719
Maybe there is some earlier tremendous but
like I said, it just seems like

732
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:20.599
there's there's It might just be me, but it seemed like lately anybody that's

733
01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:25.280
coming back from an injury has been
tendative to try to get in the ring

734
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:29.400
and go again. Except for Serena
Deeves. She came out and just went

735
01:03:29.519 --> 01:03:31.480
right at it, and that she
was never seen from again. But anyway,

736
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:36.440
let's move on, Alex. We've
got one more match to match left.

737
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:40.679
Yeah, the the Young Bucks versus
the best Friends. I guess I

738
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:45.840
kind of saved this one for last
because I think it's maybe the hardest to

739
01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:53.039
predict out of the matches. Like
on one side, we got the inevitable

740
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:57.679
Young Bucks versus FTR. But I
don't think they're going to go that direction

741
01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:02.519
for dynasty. Uh, which means
that maybe the best Friends are going to

742
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:09.639
actually beat the Young Bucks here.
I went left with them too. Uh.

743
01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:14.760
They're my that's my wild card pick
to win. You know, like

744
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:17.880
I've said before, lots of times, they have been here since day one.

745
01:04:17.960 --> 01:04:23.920
They've earned it. A lot of
people want Chuck team Chucky team involved.

746
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:29.000
I don't. I think Trent and
Orange Cassidy are the better too.

747
01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:32.960
You know, it gives Orange Cassidy
time to still have a title. I

748
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:38.039
know Kelson doesn't like that, but
you know, he's a guy who you

749
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:42.039
have to have in the ring and
people want to see. But the Young

750
01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:45.519
Bucks don't need it. I think
it's a great way to keep on a

751
01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:51.000
feud and after you know, uh
morts and machine guns, you know,

752
01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:56.079
last last time, I guess they
used their friends sure, which I didn't

753
01:04:56.119 --> 01:05:03.800
notice, and maybe that's a Maybe
that's a setup where those two that's private

754
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:11.639
party versus mostly machine guns at dynasty. Yeah, if I had to predict,

755
01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:18.239
i'd say, you know, whoever
wins a dynasty, they'll they'll have

756
01:05:18.400 --> 01:05:24.320
the modern City machine guns my much
mouth, but yeah, MotorCity machine Guns

757
01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:29.199
will come out after that, and
then challenge kind of whoever comes out the

758
01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:33.480
victors, if it's Young Bucks or
Best Friends or FTR. I just don't

759
01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:41.840
see a reason for Young Bucks to
have another title. But well I don't

760
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:44.119
need it. I mean, they
can do what they do without it.

761
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.519
Yeah, but there's a lot of
history, like with TNA and the Young

762
01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:55.519
Bucks and MotorCity machine Guns right,
yes, Yeah, they're the ones who

763
01:05:55.639 --> 01:06:00.159
kind of guided them through when they
first came and were Generation ME, and

764
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:04.199
then they kind of gazzled out in
DNA eventually and went on their separate ways.

765
01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:09.719
But there always been the other tag
team. If you mentioned the top

766
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:14.280
two, they always right there with
them. So they have lots of history

767
01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:20.760
within other organizations. Two I think, so could that lead to a two

768
01:06:20.840 --> 01:06:26.079
new members of the elite. No, I think they're going to go against

769
01:06:26.119 --> 01:06:30.079
them. Yeah, well, let
me ask. I just want to put

770
01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:31.800
every I want to put everybody on
the spot real quick. So we've got

771
01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:36.519
best Friends against the Young Bucks,
and then we've got the Top Flight against

772
01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:45.679
FTR. Who wins those two matches? I'm going to say, if you're

773
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:49.000
not going to have FTR and the
Young Bucks, what three or four or

774
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:54.440
five or whatever it is at Dynasty, Neither one of them need to win.

775
01:06:54.639 --> 01:07:00.199
Let's do two new teams, get
something different and have h I think

776
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:04.400
it's a better match if it's best
Friends versus top Flight. Okay, anybody

777
01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:15.559
else want to make a prediction here? You are best Friends versus FDR.

778
01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:19.920
You said go ahead that. Sorry, I'd like to see I'd like to

779
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:26.320
see top Flight and best Friends.
Okay, what about you, Alex.

780
01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:32.920
I'm gonna God it's hard, but
yeah, I'm gonna predict Young Bucks versus

781
01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:42.440
Top Flight in the finals and then
Young Bucks winning. Yeah. I mean,

782
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:46.519
look, I appreciate people that said
AFTERR. I mean maybe top Flight

783
01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:53.039
against whoever at after your best Friends
against whatever. But I said this last

784
01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:55.920
week and I'll repeat it this week. Best Friends is not going to sell

785
01:07:55.960 --> 01:07:58.960
pay per view, Top Flight isn't
gonna sell pay review. This is about

786
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:00.199
solid pay per view. Do you
only thing they'll sell the pay per views?

787
01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:04.320
Young Bucks versus FDR period. That's
it. Here's the question, though,

788
01:08:04.760 --> 01:08:10.679
So let's say that Young Bucks or
what the winner of this match.

789
01:08:11.039 --> 01:08:15.119
We can say Young Bucks beats best
Friends. You can say best Friends beats

790
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:23.720
Young Bucks. That leaves somebody without
a match on Dynasty. So there's gotta

791
01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:27.600
be something more because you're not gonna
have Orange Cassidy. I mean, I

792
01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:31.159
guess you could go without Trent because
it's been done before, but you can't

793
01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:34.880
have a pay per view without Orange
Cassidy. Well, here's the thing.

794
01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:39.880
Here's the thing. I understand what
you're saying about. Those two teams don't

795
01:08:39.960 --> 01:08:45.359
sell pay per view. The pay
per view sold already. It doesn't matter

796
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:49.039
who the tag team titles are.
That match doesn't have anything to sell in

797
01:08:49.119 --> 01:08:56.039
the match. Because you're gonna have
swear Stickman versus Joe that's gonna sell the

798
01:08:56.079 --> 01:09:04.000
pay per view. You're gonna have
You versus will Willow that's going to sell

799
01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:08.520
the pay per view. You don't
even have to have this as part of

800
01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:14.439
the pay per view. That title
match and that that that's the actual that's

801
01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:18.760
the actual pay per view seller.
There, let me rephrase this, okay,

802
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:26.199
compared to the pay per view.
Why would you have a bathroom match

803
01:09:26.279 --> 01:09:30.640
in the middle of it. Well, that's where I could be an amazing

804
01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:42.319
match. It doesn't necessarily that match
might be appreciate, they've done it before.

805
01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:45.920
It doesn't necessarily have to be part
of the main pay per view.

806
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:50.439
Let's let's face it. You got
limited to who you have. You either

807
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:55.760
have FTR and Young Bucks, which
everybody's seen a million times. You have

808
01:09:56.479 --> 01:10:00.159
Young Bucks versus Top Flight. I
don't know if they have any kind of

809
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:04.640
history, or you have best friends
versus FTR or type like you're you're you're

810
01:10:04.760 --> 01:10:08.680
kind of limited by the way they
did the tournament in the first place,

811
01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:12.680
you know what I mean, there's
not a whole lot of You've got a

812
01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:15.560
lot of tag teams that didn't get
in that should have probably gotten in and

813
01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:20.600
would have made it more exciting.
But it depends on how they handle this

814
01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:26.960
match tomorrow. We had talked about
before that if you know, you could

815
01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:33.640
have you could have interference tomorrow.
They could cost the Young Bucks, which

816
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:38.479
then you could then use the Young
Bucks in that match at the pay per

817
01:10:38.560 --> 01:10:41.119
view, because you know they're going
to have a match at the pay per

818
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:45.760
view regardless. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying. Well, here's here's what

819
01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:50.159
you might happen. Whoever loses this
match is gonna get called out by Hook

820
01:10:50.399 --> 01:11:00.600
and Chris Jericho. There's your match
right there, Ye Party versus Young Buck

821
01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:06.279
three, And I think, yeah, Private Party could could interfere in that

822
01:11:06.439 --> 01:11:11.239
match and set up that and then
be something that would sell the pay per

823
01:11:11.319 --> 01:11:15.119
view. Yeah, I'm just like, you know, it's kind of confusing

824
01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:19.520
because we're getting close to the pay
per view here and this is a very

825
01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:27.239
confusing tag team tournament. Yes,
and again I think he did it wrong.

826
01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:32.319
I hate when they do these so
small tournaments that you know what's going

827
01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:36.680
to happen, and that I think
that's the one problem that that Tony has

828
01:11:36.800 --> 01:11:45.439
sometimes is he makes tournaments predictable and
then doesn't throw a lever in the in

829
01:11:45.560 --> 01:11:49.680
the works to cause something. That's
why I think I personally think that if

830
01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:55.840
he wants to really change things up
and make it different, it's definitely the

831
01:11:56.119 --> 01:12:00.199
pay per view violent finale should be
Young but the Friends versus Top Flight that

832
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:04.479
would be something nobody expects that to
happen. But the thing is that Tony

833
01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:11.479
consistent. Yeah, Tony con is
consistent. He will make you think that

834
01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:15.239
he's going to do something different,
but he very very very rarely does.

835
01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:25.279
We're getting young bucks period. I
can see that match. I can't see

836
01:12:26.640 --> 01:12:32.279
top flight in a in that match, but I can see it. Yeah,

837
01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:38.039
I can see three combinations, but
I can't see best friends versus top

838
01:12:38.119 --> 01:12:43.960
flight any other combination. I think
they absolutely am Sorry, but they need

839
01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:49.199
to keep a belt off of out
of Orange Cassidy's back, because always keep

840
01:12:49.239 --> 01:12:56.399
a belt in orangeiack, they get
belt. Maybe they can put the f

841
01:12:56.479 --> 01:13:09.600
t W belt on Orange. Yeah, just no, no, they need

842
01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:15.800
to save that for Wembley. He
may have Orange Cassidy f t W title.

843
01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:26.680
Goodness Grison, I said it can
referee it? Oh god, oh

844
01:13:27.079 --> 01:13:32.800
man, I just I don't know. I don't go. There's a discussion

845
01:13:32.840 --> 01:13:35.840
to have one of these times.
We need to do one of these pay

846
01:13:35.840 --> 01:13:42.479
per views with the wildest, weirdest
matches you can think of. Yeah,

847
01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:49.840
yeah, party competent. Never go
for that. Never know, you never

848
01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:54.600
know, you never know because Tony, you know, he could surprise people

849
01:13:54.600 --> 01:13:57.199
a little bit. He might be
getting feeling a little pressure from some of

850
01:13:57.239 --> 01:13:59.720
the stuff that's being said. He
might say what the hell, man,

851
01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:03.479
let me suit, let me show
you what I can really do. Yeah,

852
01:14:04.039 --> 01:14:06.880
yeah, I mean, look at
the young bucks. They got tired

853
01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:12.680
of everybody talking so badly about them. They've gone off into the e VPS

854
01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:20.560
full force and just fully embraced all
the nonsense. So who knows they're using

855
01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:32.239
all that money they're making on spray
dan Oh yeah, man, and yeahs

856
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:41.479
bobless yeah, and the gum,
all that gum. You know they're not

857
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:45.600
going to win tomorrow night if they
come out with the diamonds, the diamond

858
01:14:45.640 --> 01:14:54.279
grills, both wearing pink suits with
bright pink shoes. I think that's obvious

859
01:14:54.319 --> 01:15:00.720
that they're gonna win with that.
They always lose, be honest. That

860
01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:06.920
and a few comes off. They
lose when the bell rings are not on

861
01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:10.760
the uh, they're not winning,
they always lose. There you go.

862
01:15:14.319 --> 01:15:19.319
Wow, Wow, I'll tell you
what. I'll be here all night anyway.

863
01:15:21.159 --> 01:15:27.880
Let's wrap this up again, guys. I appreciate you coming. We'll

864
01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:32.640
bet we'll be back tomorrow night for
wow. Just this time in my card

865
01:15:33.079 --> 01:15:38.680
on paper looks really really good.
Oh other than that pen, the paper

866
01:15:38.760 --> 01:15:42.239
thing that doesn't look really good,
you know, And I'm interested to see

867
01:15:42.319 --> 01:15:51.279
what Hook's Batman signal has to say
to Chris Jericho. I don't know why.

868
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:56.039
This graphic just cracks me up.
I don't know why they just okay,

869
01:15:57.039 --> 01:15:59.479
all right, we don't have time
to put Hook in here, so

870
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:03.199
we're just gonna put his coming out
in orange. He's coming out in an

871
01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:12.680
orange and brown or orange and black
Batman suit. I don't know whether they

872
01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:16.960
have that anything but on there,
but I don't know either. I just

873
01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:23.359
threw the day when the next Batman
movie comes out, and Warner Brothers says

874
01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:29.840
me, yeah, so we have
this great promo involving Hooks, you know,

875
01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:34.960
back signal entrance thing. We'll put
the actual bat signal on there and

876
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:39.119
Batman will come out. I'm like, don't do that. And then you

877
01:16:39.239 --> 01:16:42.640
have some skinny guy that weighs about
one hundred and twenty pounds come out dressed

878
01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:48.159
as Batman and everybody's supposed to buy
any There you go. The RoboCop thing

879
01:16:48.359 --> 01:16:51.600
was That's what I'm going for.
Yeah, you know that was great.

880
01:16:51.760 --> 01:17:01.760
That was a great bring bring break
back the Shaka got nast there. We

881
01:17:01.960 --> 01:17:06.479
want those soccer no, no,
no, you got to bring back to

882
01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:12.479
Gomedy Gooper. There is nothing better
