00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.039
It's Tuesday night. You know what
that means. It's time for Ignition with

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:16.359
aw fan of I'm your host,
Kelson. We've got Dynamite from Daily's Place

3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:25.559
and looking anybody has ever watched any
of the historical Dytamites rampages from Daily's Place.

4
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.320
One thing's for short, it's gonna
happen tomorrow night. Two things are

5
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.960
for sure that's gonna happen tomorrow night. One is that Sting for sure is

6
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:41.920
going to wrestle tomorrow night and retire
at Revolution two. There's a very good

7
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.840
chance we're going to see a debut
or a return or some kind of listed

8
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.159
a story that we didn't see coming. Well, we're going to talk about

9
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.320
that later. Before we get to
that, I do have something that I

10
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.240
wanted to share with the community.
After die, we do a podcast called

11
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.480
All Lait Talk, and for the
first time in a really long time,

12
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.319
we're taking it to open mic.
So join us for All Lead Talk right

13
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.439
after Dynamite, right here on the
discord. We'll put the link and everything

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.120

night, right after Dynamite and let's just

16
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.560
have some fun. Let's just open
up the mic and let's talk aw with

17
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.920
aw fans. That's what this aw
fan hub is all about. So let's

18
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:45.200
get started. I'm here with Sleazy
C and our brand new member of our

19
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.040
podcast team, Alex. And guess
what I'm gonna throw Alex right at the

20
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.519
fire, Sleezy. What do you
think? What do you think? Yeah?

21
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.840
I can tell by boys. Let's
see. Let's see how good Alex

22
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.079
is. Alex couple things, a
couple of things wanted to talk about it,

23
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.640
So talk about it. Let's get
this going. Let's get this show

24
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:13.840
on the road. First thing that
I'm really intrigued about has been the the

25
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:19.919
meeting between the Acclaimed and Bullet Club
Gold. I know on Dynamite last week

26
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.439
we saw Bullet Club Gold get interrupted
or sorry the other way. The Kingdom,

27
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:30.759
the Undisputed Kingdom in Adam Cole.
They got interrupted by Bullet Club Gold.

28
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.199
Jay White. He was out to
get revenge for the attack of the

29
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:43.159
Devil and his goons from a few
weeks prior or months prior, and they

30
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.719
he brought out the ass Boys,
who we hadn't seen for a while because

31
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.960
of the Continental Classic with Jay White. They made their way to the ring

32
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:57.319
to fight with the Undisputed Kingdom and
the numbers Game caught up to the Bullet

33
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.319
Club Gold. Ward Low and the
to the Undisputed Kingdom were beating them down

34
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.240
and then the Acclaimed made their triumphant
return, who we hadn't seen them since

35
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.520
they were beaten by the Devil and
his goons and Anthony Bowens was thrown through

36
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.280
that glass window. So yeah,
they came out. They made the save

37
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.960
for Bullet Club. The Undisputed Kingdom
was outside of the ring. The Acclaimed

38
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.879
and Bullet Club Gold were all in
the ring together. The crowds started chanting

39
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:38.319
for Scissor Scissor Yes, and it
was an awesome moment. And then the

40
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.280
heel Bullet Club Gold just kind of
looked at the Acclaim and left the ring.

41
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.960
Yeah, yeah, and I thought
that was an awesome moment. Yeah,

42
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.280
it was an awesome moment. But
do you think there's a future with

43
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.599
that? And so why why do
you think there may be a future with

44
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:01.840
a team with Bullet Club Gold and
he Acclaimed? Well, I think yeah,

45
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:10.159
we saw on collision kind of the
continuation of that and Anthony Bowen's in

46
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.599
a backstage segment basically said to the
Bullet Club Gold, Jay White and the

47
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.560
Ass Boys, He said, you
know, there's factions are a big part

48
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.480
of aw and having people behind you
is a big way to get ahead,

49
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.480
so you know, maybe we should
join forces. And Jay White seemed to

50
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:34.279
kind of scoff at it. But
Austin Gunn was like, said to Renee

51
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.439
afterwards, He's like, you know, maybe that was a yeah, yeah,

52
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.680
and yeah. I mean these two
groups they have a lot of history

53
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.800
and I didn't think of that when
when it first happened on Dynamite, but

54
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.480
there's a lot of history between you
know, the Acclaimed and Bullet Club Gold.

55
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.519
So Alex, yeah, we had
Bullet Club Gold and the Acclaimed out

56
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.720
there, and you know what,
it does make a little bit of sense

57
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.720
because they do have one thing in
common. Juice Robinson is not there because

58
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:11.120
of an injury, and Daddy Ass
is kind of not there because he's basically

59
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.000
on the road to retirement. He
he's not interested in traveling anymore. He

60
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.000
doesn't want to be that guy that
spends time away from his family, you

61
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:25.319
know, and his home life.
It's fortunate there his two sons, but

62
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.480
it would be neat if him and
his sons kind of got back together for

63
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.600
a run here, because honestly,
I don't see Daddy Ass being with the

64
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:40.000
company two years from now. You're
at least not in the in the in

65
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:46.199
the active rig presence in championship matches
where I do see Austin and Colton being

66
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.160
in there. You know, do
you kind of agree with that? Yeah?

67
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.920
No, absolutely, Yeah, I
don't. I see Daddy Ass having

68
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.959
you know, a good year left. And I think he does want to

69
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.720
be there with his son and I
think he's proud of them and wants to

70
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.759
be there with him, but also
probably not too close, like he wants

71
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.480
to let them do their own thing. He'd his shot. Yeah, he

72
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.199
doesn't want to live vicariously through his
sons, and I think that's one of

73
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.519
the points why he's with the Acclaimed
is because he would have overshadowed his sons

74
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:24.519
in every way, shape or form. Another thing. I just think that

75
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.839
Bullet Club Gold has been a bit
stagnant in terms of you know, they

76
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.680
they haven't reached that next level that
I do think they can because I think

77
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.399
everybody in Bullo Club Gold is great
and I think the Acclaimed after winning the

78
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:44.160
Trios titles, They've just kind of
been meandering and not doing a whole lot.

79
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.639
So I think putting these two groups
together, in my opinion, is

80
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:55.720
just potentially unlocks so much more for
both these groups. And I could see

81
00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:00.759
them being like the biggest stable in
aew if they put them together, just

82
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.439
because everyone in that group is so
much fun. They say crazy things like

83
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.920
Max Caster with his raps, Juice
Robinson with his ad libs. I just

84
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.920
think there's so much potential with that
parent right, Yeah, I mean,

85
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:20.000
would you agree to bulla club Gold
is missing Juice Robinson's presence right now.

86
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.279
Absolutely, He's a huge part of
what makes them fun. I think Jay

87
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.160
White's kind of dry just on his
own. Yeah, I mean, he's

88
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.600
not meant to be He's meant to
be the leader, I guess and the

89
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:46.319
mouthpiece in a serious tone for the
group, whereas Austin and Colton and especially

90
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.639
Jus Robinson are meant to be the
entertainers, where that's not not the role,

91
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.120
I guess is the best way to
put it at Jay Whites in Yeah,

92
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.639
but I feel like he has that
in him, Like if there's instances

93
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.560
you can watch on YouTube where he's
doing like press conferences with for Wressell Kingdom

94
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.160
or for like New Japan, where
there's no filter and they just say whatever

95
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.480
they want. And he's pretty crazy
and pretty funny and just as out there

96
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.920
as Juce Robinson is. But you
haven't really seen that side of him in

97
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:24.920
ae W and he has been kind
of you know, generics maybe not the

98
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.759
right word, but pretty pretty,
you know, straight laced. Yeah,

99
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.639
So I have to say something here
is that I'm very proud of myself because

100
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.879
I actually called Juice Robinson by his
name, which I don't normally do.

101
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.440
No. I I came up with
the dick daved like as soon as he

102
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.559
debuted, as soon as Juice debuted
in AW, and I never call him

103
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:58.240
Juice Robinson anymore. I have Nick
David, Juice Robinson, Muppet, Jesus

104
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.200
muppet. Okay, when you look
at him, you would look like if

105
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:11.879
Rover and Jesus had a baby,
it would look like Juice Robinson. So

106
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.799
that's just the reason. I just
have to bring that up because I'm because

107
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.600
people that have listened to this podcast
before and are like, what is he

108
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.919
talking? What is Kelson talking about
Juice? Who? Oh yeah, muppet

109
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.519
Jesus, that guy. Yeah,
I mean I've even put Muppet Jesus in

110
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.679
our videos and stuff like that,
so you know, it's just he's Muppet

111
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.559
Jesus to me, and that's that. And I'm going to keep saying it

112
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.080
till it catches on. Muppet Jesus. Yeah, I don't want to say

113
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.879
some of the nicknames that I have
for wrestlers in case it did catch on

114
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.919
and then they heard about it and
came after me, because well, look

115
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.720
at it this way. If you
came, if I wait for the Muppet

116
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.480
Jesus a w branded T shirt,
and I'm gonna make I'm gonna say,

117
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.559
look, this is looking listen to
our podcasts. I dubbed him up at

118
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.200
Jesus back in July of last year
or June of twenty twenty three. I

119
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.000
deserve a take on this. You
give me one cent for every ten churchs

120
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.159
you sell, and I'll take my
ten dollars and I'll leave. And I'm

121
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:20.279
imagining, I'm imagining someone puts together
like a photoshop picture of Rover with like

122
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:26.200
Jesus's hair and robes. I would
do it, do that for you,

123
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.000
Yeah, I would do it.
Anyway, Let's move on. You know

124
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.080
what I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it
the Sleazy for his one of his segments

125
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.039
here, Sleazy because you had something
that you wanted to talk about, So

126
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.720
let's have you talk about it and
we'll talk about it. Yeah. So

127
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.039
there's something really important that people tend
to not talk about in the world of

128
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.960
AW and that's the importance of indie
reps. Here's the deal. Some of

129
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:01.840
these wrestlers they just get signed with
no indie reps. I've made I've put

130
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:07.679
together a list here of all the
wrestlers who I believe right now they need

131
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.080
more indie reps. So the first
one and the most necessary, number one

132
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:22.000
priority for indie reps is Parker Boortdoa, the former law the former member of

133
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:30.559
the totally successful faction of Trustbusters.
He has he was only in the WWA

134
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.919
for like five seconds, then he
was in AW. He's been nowhere else.

135
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:41.279
He needs those reps desperately, especially
after the last match he had where

136
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.240
it sounded like he injured himself,
he injured his tag partner and almost injured

137
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.840
the people who they were facing.
Uh. Now, I'm just gonna go

138
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.559
down the list here a bit fastcause
you know, we can't talk about this

139
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.639
for eight hours. Hook, Nick
Wayne Abdon, Kiera Hogan, Layla Hirsch

140
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.200
and and one of aw's newest signs. And this might be a bit controversial,

141
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.039
but I think Mariah May needs more
indie reps. I know, she

142
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.559
had that crazy run in stardom where
I check age match, she had ninety

143
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.759
nine matches in stardom. But just
because you had ninety nine matches in one

144
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.919
company, that does not mean you're
ready. Okay, get you got to

145
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.240
get out there with more indie companies. You know, travel around, see

146
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.279
see what works, see what doesn't. You know. So those are the

147
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.799
people who I believe need the indie
reps right now at the moment, and

148
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.039
then they can come back to TV
and then they'll be a lot better than

149
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.399
they are now. That was kind
of surprise that you said. Hook.

150
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:48.159
Yeah, speaking speaking of which,
I feel like I need to explain what

151
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.480
is the moment? Why is indie
reps so important? First off, it

152
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.240
gets you the thing you need the
most ring experience. If you're on like

153
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.720
let's say you're signed to AW free
example for a real quick example, you're

154
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.200
signed to AW, but they're not
putting you on television I mean, at

155
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.240
least in AAW you have the opportunity
to at least go to some and go

156
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.480
to indie shows whenever you want,
with few exceptions, because it deals with

157
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.799
whatever, and the fact of the
matter is you need to take advantage of

158
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.080
that time to get those indie reps
in and improve your ring work. Maybe

159
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.279
face against like let's say you're a
regular brawler wrestler or whatever. Take the

160
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.879
chance to work with some lu cha
doors, take a chance to work with

161
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.720
some technical wrestlers. Take a chance
to maybe go to All Japan Pro Wrestling

162
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.799
and wrestle against guys over there.
You know, being able to get out

163
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.120
in the indies and wrestle plenty of
wrestlers with plenty of different styles will teach

164
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.080
you what you need to know in
the ring. And more importantly, it'll

165
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.840
because like here's the other thing,
AW right now has had a bit of

166
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:56.399
a problem with injuries, and having
more experience in the ring with all those

167
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:03.080
styles, given how diverse the AW
roster is, will definitely help decrease the

168
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.320
amount of injuries. It's not gonna
permanently stop them, because of course,

169
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.840
it's it's a business, you know, wrestling injuries happen all the time.

170
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.039
Yeah, but that kind of wrestling
experience is needed now. The other thing

171
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.720
is, you know, you might
be able to learn how to tell a

172
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.320
good story to the point where you'll
be able to get up into the car

173
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.159
or maybe find a good place where
you are. You know, just indies

174
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.080
help raise your stock unless you're in
the WWE. But other than that,

175
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.600
you know, in these can can
help raise your stock. Like let's say

176
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:39.639
you had a really good run with
the CMML CML Mexican National Heavyweight Championship,

177
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.519
which, by the way, is
the oldest championship in the history of professional

178
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.000
wrestling, like the oldest active one, older than NWA nineteen thirty three.

179
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.279
So anyway, the fact of the
matter is like, let's say you had

180
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.080
a crazy run with that. With
that, everyone went, whoa, that

181
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.919
is so cool? In awc's that, I'm like, you know what,

182
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.639
this guy's been working pretty hard.
Sign him and then you get and then

183
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.360
you get all that opportunity and stuff. But that doesn't mean to stop going

184
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.120
to the indies as soon as you
get aw Yeah, I'm do you go

185
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.000
to indie shows, Alex? I
mean, what do you think about this?

186
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.120
It's been a while since I've been
to an indie show. I have

187
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.240
been watching. I signed up for
Fight Plus they had a boxing day deal,

188
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.639
so I have been watching some more
GCW and MLW. Yeah, I

189
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:33.440
definitely agree with some of the names
you listed, Like abd On, I

190
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:41.080
think it's pretty apparent that she could
get some more reps under her belt.

191
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.279
Same with Layla Hirsh a couple of
names that like Nick Wayne, I find

192
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.000
that a little surprising because he's like
an indie darling in my mind, and

193
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.639
he's had years and years of indie
reps. I feel like, like since

194
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.960
he's been old enough to legally wrestle, So I find that a little surprising.

195
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.799
And I'd be surprised if he's not
actively on the indie So maybe he's

196
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.759
taking a break, I guess.
Yeah. The other name that comes to

197
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.519
mind when you're talking about indie reps
is Jade Cargill, And I know she's

198
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.679
not with the company anymore, but
that's somebody who you like, who stands

199
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.720
out as someone that really would have
benefited from indie reps. And I think

200
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.799
now that she's gone to the other
company that they they feel like she needs

201
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:33.200
more time in the oven. Yeah, I mean that's one of the problems,

202
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.320
especially with the women's division, that
I think Tony Kahn has run into

203
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.559
is that he was using AWTV as
indie reps for his wrestlers. Let's face

204
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:48.279
it, I totally agree with what
s Leasy about abad On. You can

205
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.759
also say the same thing. Not
currently maybe, but they could have used

206
00:16:52.799 --> 00:17:00.120
it when they had the opportunity to
use it. Anna j Julia Hart know

207
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.000
there. You know, I think
Julia Harden especially is has reached the point

208
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.960
where she's a a a good professional
wrestler right now. I mean, she

209
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.119
can hold her own. Added j. I doesn't. I don't think Anna

210
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:17.839
Jay gets the credit for how good
she is. Kiera Hogan there's another one

211
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.480
that's definitely used. You know,
uh when Kiera Hogan's on when she did

212
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.799
her r OH run, I mean
she was really good at r o H.

213
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.480
But you know, then she comes
to AW she gets jobbed out.

214
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.960
Kind of a weird thing because Athena
is the same way she's doing fantastics.

215
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.160
She's a champion, she's she's busted
up chops all over AW. She comes

216
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.680
to all over r o H.
She comes to AW and she gets beat.

217
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:48.319
Let's just face it, aw AW
uses Athena as Kennon fodder. I

218
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.279
think I feel like Athena is going
to be treated better next time she comes

219
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.680
up, because yeah, she's made
herself undeniable and ring of honor, and

220
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.359
I think all the fans realize that. And when she does show up again

221
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.200
on actual AW proper, you're gonna
get treated a lot better for sure.

222
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.279
Okay, moving right along, Sleazy, there was another topic that you wanted

223
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.759
to talk about. Yes, I
want to talk about the current state of

224
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.960
commentary. You know, as we
enter Aw's I believe fifth year, you

225
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.559
know it's good to maybe take a
bit of stock at the current state of

226
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.200
the commentary because commentary, you know, it's a very important part of the

227
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.720
show, and if you don't have
good commentary, then you're not really gonna

228
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.759
either get excited for what's going on
or you might not even understand what's going

229
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:40.319
on. So first, I want
to review the current commentators. And I'm

230
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.079
specifically talking like people who are consistently
on the table, So no Mark Henry,

231
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:55.440
no Ian Roccobby or whatever he's down
Bomby. I'm specifically talking collision rampage

232
00:18:55.559 --> 00:19:00.400
in Dynamite. First off, Jr. He's I'm gonna be honest, he's

233
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.599
being kind of non existent un commentary. Oh yeah, it's JR. For

234
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.000
a few seconds, and then he
doesn't really seem to add much anymore.

235
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.200
I Mean, the dude's seventy two's
and he's on the He has to be

236
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:21.680
on the tail end Man second off
ex Caliber. He is essential to the

237
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.920
AEW experience. Okay, when I
think of AW commentary, one of the

238
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.559
first people I think of is Excalibur
Man. He is the play by play

239
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:36.319
guy, especially way back during that
specific All Out twenty twenty two, or

240
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.440
at least the build up to it, when he had to do the you

241
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:45.039
know, play by play trying to
say all the matches for that pay review.

242
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.200
He literally lost his breath halfway through. But it was a valiant effort

243
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.480
just to try and you know,
play by play all the matches that are

244
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.319
going to be happening on All Out, you know. So for a play

245
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.960
by play guy to nearly get through
all the matches before losing your bread,

246
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.960
especially in the experience he has,
that's pretty impressive. He sounded like he

247
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.680
was about to give himself an aneurysm. You know, he just he would

248
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.599
not take a breath. He was
just he was running on fumes. Put

249
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.720
it that way. Yeah, but
it was admirable how he tried. So,

250
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.319
now here's this guy who's carrying commentary
right now. It's Tats. It

251
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:27.839
is clearly tas. His voice is
just you know, it's it's clearly heard.

252
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.599
He's always trying to, you know, be a professional about things now,

253
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:36.640
even with you know, the certain
biases to a certain belt. But

254
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.680
anyway, other than that, you
know, he's very analytical and keeps the

255
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:48.000
whole table together. He is carrying
the booth right now. Then we have

256
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:51.759
Tony Schiavanni. He's pretty much the
work course of everything. You know,

257
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.200
he's there, he's you know,
we see him as a bit of a

258
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.680
punching bag. But except for the
times where he's like, all right,

259
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.240
listen up, you pricks, you
know, but other than that, you

260
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.640
know, he's pretty much the workhorse
of aw. I love Tony Schavanni,

261
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.519
but I also hate him on commentary
and that like a lot of the things

262
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:17.839
he says are just He's often saying, oh, that's the first time I've

263
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.000
seen that, and then it's something
I've seen like a week ago or two

264
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.559
weeks ago, and I know he
was on commentary. It's like, I

265
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.799
feel like almost ninety percent of the
things that Tony Schiavanni says is like,

266
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.319
I'm just my jaws on the floor, like what is this guy talking about?

267
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.880
But I love him and he is
just like in the woven into the

268
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:44.559
fabric of aew and special shout out
to when he's in the ring doing those

269
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:49.000
in ring interviews and the person's inevitably
mean to him and the way that his

270
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:56.160
body just kind of like ring,
which is pretty good. Yeah, I

271
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.920
will finish your list, all right. So the final on my list is

272
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:07.759
Kevin Kelly. He's just quiet and
all. Honestly, I'm not saying that's

273
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.119
a bad thing. You know,
quiet commentators, you know, as long

274
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.039
as they're with the right mix of
commentators, can be a good thing.

275
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.319
You know, they're they're they're quiet, but you know they also say stuff,

276
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.519
and you know you always need the
guy who's quiet but also says stuff

277
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:26.920
in a commentary table like in Aw's
company. Right now, So that's the

278
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.160
list. Now what I need to
talk about is the future. Here's you,

279
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.480
miss Nigel. Did you mention Nigel
Mcgainno, No, he didn't mention

280
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:45.519
Nigel. Oh he's the number one
with a silver bullet. Oh well,

281
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.359
okay, look before things get a
bit off the rails with that, I

282
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.799
need to mention the other point of
commentary that I needed to bring up tonight.

283
00:22:55.279 --> 00:23:00.240
It's the future of AW commentary.
Let's face the facts, okay.

284
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:07.559
Ian is their youngest commentator at age
thirty six, Tony Shavani is sixty six,

285
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.920
Jim Ross is seventy two, Kevin
Kelly is fifty six. So you

286
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.160
know, it's it's quite clear,
you know, you need to start prepping

287
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:22.000
potential new guys to maybe you'll come
in and you know, start speaking on

288
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.960
the speaking on the booth too.
And there are plenty of candidates as we've

289
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:32.920
seen last week during Dynamite, like
Eddie Kingston and Matt Minard and you know,

290
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:40.160
but even before this when AW Dark
and Dark Elevation Worthing, Paul White

291
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.960
and Matt Minard were burning it down
on commentary, everybody loved it. I

292
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.519
know, I want the ones to
love that. They were great together.

293
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.279
They just had they had a report. It just could be beat. Yeah

294
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.880
exactly. You know, so I
think right now AW definitely needs to start

295
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:03.640
preparing future commentators on the commentary table
is it's very important, especially given what

296
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.279
I just said about those ages man, especially Jim Ross. I mean,

297
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.559
it's not like he's gonna be gone
from aw entirely, as he still has

298
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.400
plenty of the bring to the business
in general. But the fact of the

299
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.359
matter is, you know, in
terms of the commentary booth, there's gonna

300
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.799
be a time where he has to
take a swig of barbecue saw us lay

301
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:32.079
down the hat and loop off into
the Cowboys sunset and be like bard Well

302
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:36.440
sleazy. Based on what you said, you're the gist that I get of

303
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.319
it is you think the TAZ is
the MVP of the the commentary team right

304
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:44.200
now? Yes, I honestly think
he's the MVP carrying right now. That's

305
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.559
that's not to say that everybody else
sucks, you know, He's just he's

306
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.359
just carrying the booth and bringing it
and bringing it to New Heights this year

307
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:56.160
and in the tail ends of last
year too. Alex, who do you

308
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:03.559
think is the MVP right now of
the of the commentary team. Yeah,

309
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.079
for me, it's it's definitely been
Nigel McGinnis. I just think he's like

310
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:14.720
found himself as the heel commentator.
I love all his bits with like worshiping

311
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:19.480
Christian Cage. He's just been so
much fun and clam digger Brian Danielson.

312
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:26.519
All yeah, that's great, never
never missing an opportunity to put Brian Danielson

313
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.960
down. I love it. Yeah. I mean, here's my opinion.

314
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:37.240
When you look at somebody like Excalibur
and Tony Shavani, I could also throw

315
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.359
Taz into that mix as well.
The one thing that they give you is

316
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.880
consistency. They're gonna have their off
nights, sure, but more often than

317
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:52.519
not, they're on their game and
they're good. I don't feel like Nigel

318
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:59.039
has that yet, but he's getting
there. Kevin Kelly left his commentary duties

319
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:04.599
for n JPW a few months back, and somebody on the aw fan hub

320
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:10.960
subreddit started a pretty interesting conversation saying, shout out to Kevin Kelly for the

321
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:17.240
work he's been doing. That's helped
him a lot leaving NJPW because he's been

322
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:22.200
doing a lot better. He could
talk about the wrestlers with more knowledge now.

323
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:29.400
Because he's not traveling eighteen hours every
week back and forth to do these

324
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:33.559
different shows, he's able to study
the product. He is more knowledgeable now

325
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.519
about the wrestlers and the product that's
being sold into the ring. In the

326
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.880
ring, he's actually gotten a lot
more funny. And I really do think

327
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:48.759
having the third man on collision,
Tony Shavanni on collision, has helped Kevin

328
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:53.119
Kelly a lot because Shavanni has been
able to shoulder a lot at the load

329
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.799
that Kevin Kelly just couldn't do,
you know. And that's fine. I

330
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.400
mean, I prefer a three man
team because the dynamic between Kevin Kelly,

331
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:07.240
Tony Shavanni and Nigel are is working
right now. Where Kevin Kelly and Nigel

332
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:14.279
didn't work. Ian Ricabonni was better, you know. But Ian Ricabonni he

333
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.119
doesn't want to do all that traveling. So yeah, I tho's what it

334
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.880
is. My favorite was, Yeah, Ian Ricabonni and Nigel. I just

335
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:27.920
thought that was spectacular. But yeah, I think I think everybody would say

336
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:34.359
that they especially at the beginning collision. Ian Rickabonni was the man. He

337
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:40.400
was. He just did a fantastic
job. As I alluded to earlier in

338
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:45.680
the podcast, we are having Dynamite
from Daily's place this week, and if

339
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:52.119
you've looked at the history of Daily's
place. We've had so much going on

340
00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:00.720
at this particular venue. FTR,
I believe was debuted at Daily's places.

341
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:07.200
FTR debuted at Daily's place. Sting
debuted at Daily's place, and I want

342
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:22.119
to I mean, we're talking and
the man that dynamite is being produced for

343
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:30.720
as a tribute to tomorrow night in
memory of the Exalted One, mister Brodie

344
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.559
Lee, Rest in peace, Rest
in peace, brother, miss you a

345
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:41.480
lot. There's a really good video
on YouTube right now, produced by All

346
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.000
EAT Wrestling, so you can see
it on the All Eat Wrestling YouTube channel,

347
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.920
and it's like over an hour,
and it's like an hour and forty

348
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:55.119
nine minutes long, and it's basically, well it's not basically it is a

349
00:28:55.279 --> 00:29:02.119
retrospect of AW at Daily's place.
And it's definitely worth the watch because you

350
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:08.440
look at some of the most important
things that have happened in AAW have happened

351
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:15.519
at Daily's place. Like I said, returns, debuts, just stories,

352
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:21.640
literal stories have happened at Daily's place. So that brings us to this.

353
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.599
I have the match card up on
the screen, fellows, so you can

354
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:33.640
look at it, and there are
a few matches on here that don't look

355
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:40.920
like they're special at face value,
but when you dig a deeper dive into

356
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:48.319
it, there is some kind of
really interesting Daily Place esque value to these

357
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:53.599
matches. Does anybody see anything in
these matches that stands out to you right

358
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:59.160
away? Or do you want me
to point one out? The one thing

359
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:03.759
that stands out to me is that
men's four way match. Yeah, and

360
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.480
I did see it mentioned on Reddit, so I think that's what put the

361
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:12.440
idea in my head. It's not
entirely original, but you see Preston Vance

362
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:18.440
in the Yeah, yes, and
he one thing I know about Preston Vance,

363
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.279
and I'm sure we all know,
is that he's very closely tied with

364
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:29.880
Minus one, Brodie Lee's son,
and that match it does look like who

365
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.839
would have put all these guys together. I don't know if it was Tony

366
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:40.279
Kahan, maybe it was booked by
Minus one. It was definitely Tony Kahn,

367
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.240
but I think he edited mine.
Maybe he went the negative one and

368
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.519
asked him like, who do you
want to see in this match? And

369
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:52.200
I feel like those four guys Edge
Orange Cassidy sort of Adam Copeland, Orange

370
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:57.640
Cassidy, Dustin Rhodes Preston vanced.
I feel like those four guys were put

371
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:03.279
together by by a negative one.
I mean, at first I was gonna

372
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:06.799
say, wait, you do know
that Preston Advance isn't in the dark order

373
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:10.519
anymore? Right, But then you
meant from an IRL perspective, I was

374
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:12.480
like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. So

375
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:19.079
anyway in terms of me, you
know, probable unpredictability within the card,

376
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:25.079
I mean, I'm gonna have to
go with the Klonio and Hangman thing.

377
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:30.279
It's like, what the Heck's going
on there? As the BCC versus Hangman

378
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.359
Adam Page thing being rekindled, or
is it just further descent into this new

379
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:40.559
story arc of Hangman where he's just
crazy and wants to beat the crap out

380
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.920
of everyone always missing as an exploding
barbed wire death match to fix it.

381
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.079
You know. So the fact of
the matter is what the heck is?

382
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:56.039
Where the heck is his storyline going
to be going from here before the match,

383
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.240
during the match, after the match, you know? But yeah,

384
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:04.720
yeah, but this whole card,
you know, it does present aw continuing

385
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:10.960
to blur the lines of where people
are in their islands of their story pockets

386
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:15.240
and instead, it's just all one
island and everyone's beating the crap out of

387
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.880
each other, and I love it. Well, I want to revisit the

388
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:23.880
eight man tag match because there's a
couple of things that people have been pointing

389
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:30.119
out on social media that is very
true. We're talking about a show that

390
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.480
is meant as a I wouldn't say
a tribute, but it is a memory

391
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:40.599
of the Exalted One, mister Brodie
Lee. And if you look at this

392
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:46.680
card, there's no Dark Order members
on this card. I was just about

393
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:55.519
to say so, but then you
have a former Dark Order member who is

394
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:02.200
a member of l FI currently who
have not been on the screen at all,

395
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:10.240
you know, But you have a
former Dark Order member in this eight

396
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:15.160
man tag match, and he's kind
of like one of these things doesn't belong

397
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:22.240
here because Preston Advance is a heel
and he's on the team with three of

398
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:30.920
the strongest babyfaces, pure babyfaces in
aw's Men divisions right now. So here's

399
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:37.279
my spicy prediction is that we're going
to see Dark Order during this match.

400
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:45.440
We're going to see Negative One during
this match, and I think you're gonna

401
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:53.640
see an emotional moment between prest Advance
and Negative One. And my spicy prediction

402
00:33:53.799 --> 00:34:00.319
of this match is that before before
Preston Vance goes to the back and goes

403
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:06.920
into the locker room, he's going
to do two things. He's gonna hug

404
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:13.559
and apologize to Negative One, and
before he goes to the back, he

405
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:19.000
will be wearing his mask again.
And the Dark Order is going to be

406
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:28.639
complete and they're going to start seting
Belign another storyline for new members of the

407
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.679
Dark Order to come in, because
you can't talk about Daily's place in AW,

408
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.480
especially the early days of AAW without
talking about Dark Order. Yes,

409
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:44.639
and have a have a show and
memory of Presst Advance without Dark Order involvement

410
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:52.320
is preposterous to even consider. So
I'm very in that prediction. I am

411
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:54.760
very confident and most that most of
my prediction is going to come true.

412
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.480
Do you guys have any thoughts of
things? Yes? So do you think

413
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.840
that Preston V is going to continue
to be a member of the Dark Order

414
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:09.400
after that? I think that the
storyline is going to point in that direction.

415
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:15.880
Now, whether it comes true or
not is well, let's face it,

416
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:21.679
Preston Advance was doing very well with
Dark Order when they was allowed to

417
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.519
do something. He's not really done
anything with LFI, and he kind of

418
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:30.199
looks like an outsider with LFI where
he looks like he belongs in Dark Order

419
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:36.559
and Negative One. He's you know, he's getting up there at age what

420
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:43.480
is he thirteen? Now? You
know he's going to start getting involved a

421
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.880
little bit more as time goes on. I mean, he's not traveling with

422
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.880
them every week, but he's going
to show up, you know, from

423
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.400
time to time. And this is
a perfect time to bring Preston Vance back

424
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:55.000
into the Dark Order. And I
honestly believe that that's going to happen.

425
00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:00.679
Mm hmm, yeah. I know, like Russia is injured and so he's

426
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:05.519
going to be off TV for a
while. And agree that Preston Dvance doesn't

427
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.679
really fit in LFI. It's kind
of like a square peg in a round

428
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:13.960
hole. So yeah, I do
like that idea. And Stu Grayson he's

429
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:16.840
been MIA, so maybe that's an
opportunity for him to show up again.

430
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:22.480
I like it. I'm I would
be happy if what you predicted happened.

431
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:27.280
All right. So then there's another
match that a lot of people are talking

432
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:34.039
about on social media. That's the
Women's eight Women Tag Match. Look at

433
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:39.800
this and tell me that this is
not intriguing. You've got thunder Rosa,

434
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:45.639
Chris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, and
Anna j of all people, kind of

435
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:51.760
similar to similar to prest Advance.
Anna Jay is kind of the odd woman

436
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:54.280
out in there. She's been a
heel, but here she is on the

437
00:36:54.760 --> 00:37:00.800
babyface team. And then you got
Julia Hart, Sky Blue and Ruby Soho.

438
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:05.320
Now keep in mind a couple of
things. Did we or did we

439
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:10.119
not see Anna Jay kind of paling
around elbow to elbow with Sorea for a

440
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:17.360
few weeks there until Harley Cameron stepped
in. We did, And don't forget

441
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.960
with the you're gonna probably see Harley
Cameron with the heel team on this one.

442
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:30.039
Obviously, hope Stokely Hathway has been
involved or trying to get involved in

443
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:36.159
the storyline with Chris Statlander. So
I think you'll see Stokely Hathway for sure

444
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:43.239
tomorrow night. Maybe there's gonna be
a rift between Statlander and Willow Nightingale.

445
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:50.039
There's we know that we've seen it
that it looks like Sire is about the

446
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:54.320
backstab Ruby Soho. So that's another
angle that you're looking there's so much going

447
00:37:54.360 --> 00:38:00.559
on here that Lander lost her title
to Julia Hall Art the TBS title to

448
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:07.960
Julia Hart, who did not pin
stat Lander. You have two former women's

449
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:15.199
World champions, Soireya and thunder Rosa
in this match, I fully expect.

450
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.920
I mean, there's so many things
that could happen after the badge or even

451
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:27.519
during the match. Yeah sorry,
Jelo Parker, Angelo Parker appearance or one

452
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.920
of my wife's personal favorite angles going
on right now. Yeah, well,

453
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:35.920
everybody loves a good romance, and
you know, you know, so between

454
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:39.760
this Angela Parker, Ruby so and
Samy Guvara and Chris Jericho, the romance

455
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:45.280
is in the air because, let's
face it, the romance between MGF and

456
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:52.679
Adam Cole is over now why rest
in peace? But anyway, here's the

457
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:55.599
thing, I mean, not only
just looking at the combatants in the match,

458
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.239
there's so many things that make sense
to happen. You could have Tony

459
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:07.280
Storm come out and confront Soirea and
Ruby Soho for the obvious to portrayal that's

460
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:13.760
going on there with Harley Cameron and
whatnot. Thunder Ross probably ticked off at

461
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:19.880
at Tony Storm because remember Tony Storm
won the tournament to win the end at

462
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:25.360
the time, the interim Women's World
Championship that thunder Rosa never lost. So

463
00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:30.639
we can go the whole I am
the real Women's World champion thing. We

464
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:39.440
can go that route. I don't
know, I don't well, it'd be

465
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:44.920
a pink X but you know,
but it's the kind of storyline that Tony

466
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:50.360
Khan probably would want to go go
do because he just told me, right.

467
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:57.719
And and then you've got Diana Parozzo, who I would see all this

468
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:01.239
and say, no, I'm calling
out Tony's you know, and you know,

469
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:07.840
Chris Statler's out there and she's saying
I'm a world championship contender as well,

470
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:12.519
and will Nightingale probably say what about
me? But I'm the former TBS

471
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.559
championship. You just had the ohen
you know kind of thing. So I

472
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:21.760
think you can see a rift between
Dan Lander and uh Willow developed last Tomorrow

473
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:25.639
night. And then of course you
have every opportunity if Mercedes Monett is going

474
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:30.400
to come out, Daily's place is
the place that it's going to happen at,

475
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:37.840
because that's what Tony Kahan does.
So there in this match alone,

476
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.719
there is it's a convoluted mess.
And don't forget Mariah Bay will probably be

477
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:46.039
out there with Tony Storm, so
there can be I mean, you're looking,

478
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:50.880
there's eight women in this match,
four on each team, but there's

479
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:55.280
literally sixteen women in this match.
It seems like because it's doubled. Yeah,

480
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:59.880
you know what I mean, it's
there's so much potential. I'm not

481
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.000
saying that every one of these storylines
by far, I'm not saying every one

482
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:07.440
of these storylines is going to pan
out. But what I am saying is

483
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:13.760
that there is a potential to do
so much with the women's division tomorrow night.

484
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:17.920
It's preposterous. Yeah, yeah,
I love that. And I can

485
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:23.199
just imagine in my head, you
know, all these things happening, chaos

486
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:30.199
in the ring, and then Mercedes
Monet's music hits and she comes out and

487
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:38.639
everyone's just like Wow. There's people
that are excited by about Mercedes Monet,

488
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:43.519
and there's people that are not excited
about Mercedes Bonett. I'm not excited.

489
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:45.480
Well, you know, she's a
big star. It's a big deal.

490
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:52.679
You know, Mercedes Monet, she
is probably one of the two or three

491
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:58.719
women in the world who are most
responsible for what women's wrestling is today.

492
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.079
That's a fair statement. Yeah,
and I think that that means something and

493
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:07.320
it would be a big deal if
she goes up. There's a few matches

494
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:12.559
on this card that they've kind of
make sense. They kind of don't look

495
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:16.280
at like Sabbi Gavar and Ricky Starks. Who benefits from winning this match and

496
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:23.079
who who shouldn't can't afford to lose
this match. I don't think either of

497
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:29.280
them benefit or lose anything by winning
or losing this match. This is just

498
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.679
a match. I don't think it
really matters because they're still gonna be Semi

499
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:38.920
Gavar and Ricky Starks. Again,
this may be a match that has some

500
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:43.920
connotations to it. We've already took
you know, Claudio casting you Only in

501
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:47.119
Hangman Adam Paige. That's a fairly
random match with something that's going to happen

502
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:53.760
there Claudio and casting only versus Adam
Paige. That match, to me feels

503
00:42:53.800 --> 00:43:00.079
like Adam Page getting a win before
he loses this we're of Strickland. That's

504
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.360
what I see that as. But
I could be wrong. It could go

505
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.960
differently, but I feel like definitely
out In Page is gonna win that.

506
00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:13.239
Then you have the what appears to
be the main event, which is stacking

507
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:22.000
Darby Ellen against Kenoski Takeshta at Powerhouse
Hobbs. But it's merit. I don't

508
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:24.760
see this as a main event match, you know, but because it's daily

509
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:29.159
place, it may be a main
event match. Look, you know,

510
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:34.400
here's the thing about this card.
To me, You've got some really big

511
00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:37.199
names in this card. What about
you, guys? Is there anything that

512
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.840
stands out in this card that you're
looking forward to the most or something that

513
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:49.000
you're like, I'm not really looking
forward to this that much. Well,

514
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:53.159
I mean, if I'm being completely
honest, I mean nothing is jumping down

515
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:58.119
at me per se. But you
know, I mean it is interesting throughout

516
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.920
the entirety of the card, and
you know, it's an interesting Dynamite that

517
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:07.880
I'm gonna catch this Wednesday night on
Dynamite, right, And I'm I'm excited

518
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:15.119
for Ricky Starks versus Sammy Guvara.
I think that's an exciting matchup. Well,

519
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:21.519
I think they're two young aw Originals
who are up and comers, and

520
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:25.719
you know, Ricky Starks I'd like
to see him go over, but I

521
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:29.960
don't know. I think it's gonna
just be an exciting, fun match.

522
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:37.840
Well, that's fair enough. And
then the Kenoski Takeshta and Powerhouse Hobbs versus

523
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:42.119
Stinging Darby Allen. I think that
match to me, just to get that

524
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.960
follow up from Dynamite, that like
amazing match between Takeshta and Darby Allen.

525
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:52.960
Just to see them in the ring
again is gonna be awesome. And I

526
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:58.239
guess unfortunately Stinging Darby Allen have to
win just because thing never loses. But

527
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:00.719
yeah, I think it'll be a
good match just for in ring action.

528
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:05.239
I don't know about the story coming
out of it, but I'm excited for

529
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.039
that as well. Do you think
going into Revolution that they're going to plant

530
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:12.639
the seed of doubt on that and
go ahead and give him his first loss

531
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:15.519
heading into that? Do you think
his shoulders are going to be on the

532
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:19.480
map for a one two three at
any time before a Revolution? No?

533
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:23.760
I don't think so. Now what
about you, Sleezy, No, No,

534
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:30.199
I think it's better if this story
is being came in undefeated and left

535
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:34.800
undefeated. I think that's fair enough. And then we have Samoa Joe coming

536
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:38.320
out, you know, and we'll
hear from Samoa Joe, So we have

537
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:44.920
no anything on that. Yeah,
yeah, I guess they could be leading

538
00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:50.159
to him talking about Hook or maybe
setting up a new feud for the next

539
00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:52.400
pay per view. I don't know. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see

540
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.079
where they're going with that story,
you know, what's interesting to be And

541
00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.239
it goes back to what Sleezy said
earlier. We saw a Hook call out

542
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:07.039
Saboa Joe for a AW Men's World
Championship title, you know match, and

543
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:15.440
yet then Sleazy says that Hook can
use some indie reps. So Sleazy,

544
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:22.760
are you saying there that you're kind
of like me and looking at the Hook

545
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:29.920
and Samoa Joe prospective match with a
what kind of attitude? It's not with

546
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:34.079
the what kind of attitude? It's
more of a oh god, Hook needs

547
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.920
indie reps. He's not ready kind
of outlook, you know, because I

548
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.239
mean, don't get me wrong,
he has the FTW Championship, but the

549
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:45.679
fact of the matter is he still
needs those damn reps and he's not ready.

550
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:52.199
If AW is planning on Hook versus
Saboa Joe for revolution, is that

551
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:57.840
a smart move or a bad move? And that is not the correct move

552
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.519
to do. All right, What
about you, Alex, what you think

553
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:05.079
of that? To me, that's
that's like a dynam My main match.

554
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.719
That's not a pay per view match. I really hope they don't, right,

555
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:10.360
I agree with you. I mean, I have nothing against Hook,

556
00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:15.719
you know, but he's not a
main eventor yet. If you're gonna have

557
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:21.320
Samoa Joe be a viable world champion, you gotta put him with main eventors

558
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:25.639
Adam Copland. You know, it
is a good face to face him,

559
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.760
even Darby Allen, if you want
to go that route. And that's actually,

560
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.480
yeah, you bring that up.
That's kind of one a thought that's

561
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:39.800
been in my brain because this is
the big thing revolution pay per view and

562
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:47.320
having that main event was Sting in
Darby Allen's corner after whatever Sting matches earlier

563
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:52.719
in the night, and Darby Allen
winning the title off Samoa Joe and they

564
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:58.920
have history too, that could be
like an awesome moment things mentorship like realized.

565
00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:04.480
I have a funny suspicion. I
have a strong suspicion that we're gonna

566
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:09.199
be enlightened tomorrow night with several things
that maybe some of us didn't even see

567
00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:15.079
coming. Because it's looking at this
card. It just it. It's an

568
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:19.119
odd card, and I don't mean
that in a bad way. I'm just

569
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:23.519
like, looking at Preston Vance on
on the baby Face team and Anna j

570
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:31.199
on a Babyface team, I wouldn't
be surprised if we didn't see Preston Vance

571
00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:37.519
and Anna Jay rejoined the Dark Order
tomorrow. All right, then, Well

572
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:45.840
for Sleazy C and for Alex,
this has been Ignition with aw fan Hub.

573
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:49.599
Good Night, everybody,
