It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for ignition with AW
Fanhubb, this is Kelson, and this is Alex and we're gonna get right
into it. We have our first topic for tonight, which is does AEW
have the best roster in wrestling? Period? And this is across men's roster,
women's roster. Just does AW have the best roster? Maybe? And
I feel like, you know, I consider the women's roster and the men's
roster separate in terms of thinking about do they have the best roster? I
felt like aw's had the best men's roster for a long time, and the
women's roster, I feel has kind of been behind, especially in terms of
like some other companies. Yeah, WWE stardom, but now we're adding we'll
lost Briantocada on top of what I've already thought was probably the best men's roster
in wrestling, and now they're bringing in Mercedes Monae to kind of pop things
up. I don't know if the women's roster's up there for me, but
like I said, I think the men's roster has already been the best men's
roster and wrestling. Sutton, what are your thoughts on that. I have
to agree with you on that men's roster is unbelievable. I can't I don't
think I can ever remember a time in the years that I've been watching wrestling
that a roster has been that packed with. I mean, you have fifteen
guys that could be main inventing and holding a title right now, and you
don't have to wait for anybody to come back off injury. The women's side,
I think that's the biggest problem they've had from the beginning of aw They've
had too many people hurt too much much. I mean, when uh,
Chris got hurt, and then you know, and then and then uh no,
shoot, I can't think of her name. Uh she's tagging up.
Uh, well, Hater got hurt, and then Baker Julia Hart was hurt
for a while there. Yeah, line Leila Hirst was hurt. I mean,
everybody's been hurt, and now the only ones that are really missing is
Baker and Hater. Julia's back in the ring. Uh, you've got who's
teaming up with h Diana tomorrow night. Thundorsn Rosa. That was probably the
one that hurt them the most at the time. It happened because she just
became champ and didn't really get to do anything with it at all. So
I think, if you get her and Hater and and she's back, but
she really hasn't done a whole lot yet. But if you get her and
you get Hater back in, and you get the roster back to where it
can be. I don't see another roster for any women's rosters that beat AW
either, because WWE has a few, but they don't have them like I
mean, They've got Bailey and they've got Flair and on the main roster.
Those are the main two right now where you're ripley. But AW has again
five or six women at this point in time, they could hold the title
and run with it. So you know that's I think it's the best overall
roster anywhere. What do you think, MK, I don't know. I
really I really feel like let me think. Sorry, it's tossed up for
me, but UH really do feel that the man's roster are better. I
think the women's better honestly right now, because not only the people you guys
mentioned, but I really feel like there are a lot of upcoming people like
Miama, who is very good Megan Vannon, who's going to be coming in
out I win. You know, there's a lot of upcoming people from other
companies that are coming up that we haven't seen on screen yet. So I
think the women's roster is better. It's a toss up for me on on
the men's roster though, hmm interesting, So so MK, you think that
the women's roster is the best out of any company and the men's roster is
maybe not. The men's roster is getting there, but you know, WWE
has a lot of great talent, Seth Rowland, Drew McIntyre. The roster's
pretty deeper than men's, but the women's is it's not you know, they
have a few, but I think there are more talented women out there that
are coming up for AW and thunder Ross has been around a while. But
like I said, I remember watching Megan Bannon on Dark a few matches and
she has a look and she has she has it, and I think she'll
be coming up. Mariah May of course, there's a lot of things going
on with her, so I think she is there as well. So they're
coming up, and you know, when Britt Baker comes back, I don't
like her but she's an attraction for a lot of fans. You know,
if we get is it Camilla from from Uhil, She's very good. I
like Lady Frost's look. So there's a lot of young people coming up that
I think could be bigger given a year. So in a year, you
know, we're being on fire for the one this division mm hmm. And
Nett, I guess you're joining us now we're talking about who has the strongest
division in all of wrestling, Like who's who has the strong is men's roster
and women's roster, not just the AW but you know, comparing AW to
other companies even so, yeah, what are your thoughts on that? Let's
see who has the strongest roster? Mm hmm. I'd have to stick with
Let's see, I'd stick with ae W. They have a lot of good
people on both sides, and Ring of Honor kind of feeds into that.
I think that in the men's division, people like Malachi Black and of course
Brian Danielson Penny if he comes back. Uh, there's a few others.
I'm kind of spacey, but and then in the women's division, of course,
I like Chris Stantlander. I think she's really strong and and Ruby Soho
is actually really good. She gets overlooked a bit. She's kind of lost
in that storyline at the moment. And yeah, so I would have to
say AAW. Yeah. You know, for me, it's basically what are
you looking for? What you say, who has the best roster pro wrestling?
It really depends on what you're looking for on a roster. Look as
far as wrestlers go, I think it could be very much an argument that
AW has the strongest men's in women's division. But then again, if you're
going by story and promo work, maybe not. You see what I'm saying
there. I mean you also can't discount things like CMLL and GCW, New
Japan, Tokyo Joshi pro Stardom because look, even though AW has a great
women's division, if you put them against last year's Stardom early last year's stardom
division, Stardom had him beat by a mile. You know, they've unfortunately
lost to quite a few wrestlers from their roster. And now Rossi Agala is
going to be creating a new promotion and that could very well be the strongest
based on people that are loyal to him. I mean, it's dynamic.
It's always going to change. One thing that could possibly be said is that
looking at the names, AW may have the strongest male roster and the strongest
female roster, but okay, it remains to be seen. Well, we'll
have to see. I mean, you've got a lot of people like Osbury,
Mercedes, Monet, Okada. They haven't done anything really in AW yet
except have a couple of really good matches. I mean, I think we
can all agree that the best is yet to come, or possibly the worst.
We'll have to see. It's a wait and see. M keep that
title for a long time. What was that, buddy Adie can keep that
title for a long time? Oh god, tomorrow, Okay, on tomorrow.
That's twenty four hours. So so so now you know. Look,
AW has this thing where a w does a lot of dream matches, And
what we're gonna do is the dream matches to me, are are they dream
matches for the fans or the dream matches for the wrestlers? Like when you
look at Brian Danielson, for example, I have a feeling that those are
dream matches for Brian Danielson, not necessarily the fans, at least not for
me. I don't know how you guys feel about it, But what are
our dream matches? And I'm gonna give you mine. We talked that,
you know, if we talked about overlooked wrestlers, you know, like Ruby
Soho. My overlooked wrestler is Riho, and Riho is part of my dream
match. My dream match is Riho against Jim Cornett because I want to see
Rio once and for all pick the living ship out of that effort. God
damn it, where to God? You know? Just Rio, just do
your business and special guest referee Bcky you know in that match? Oh God,
And I wanted and I wanted to be like just all out, Just
Rio, do whatever you want and just show that asshole whatever you need to
do. Because does anybody doubt that Rio could kick Jim Cornett? She could
kick my ass. She could probably kick everybody hear his ass. Sure she's
small, but you can She'll exhaust everybody out thirty seconds and they kick everybody's
ass. I don't doubt that one bit. She's she's been wrestling longer than
most of the Rocks has been alive. If you think about it. Yeah,
ever, she's also look if you take away her size, which is
what everybody, nobody ever says she can't wrestle. They say she looks like
she's too tiny, right. You know what that tells me is that if
she was the size and say somebody like, you know, if she was
rehobed, but she was the size of Chris Statlander, she would be the
best wrestler in the world because she's already a pretty darn good, great,
fantastic technical wrestler. That's the point. And Jim Cornett, who sits there
with a tennis racket that he's never used, just like Jeff Jarrett has the
guitar that he never plays. You know, shut the hell up and let
her kick your ass just once. I want to see it. That's my
dream match. What is your dream match? Wow, I'd be honest with
you, there are so many that would be awesome to see. I I
kind of I kind of agree with you a little bit on that, where
you know, are we talking about the man that the people who are in
the match or the people who are watching it, Because I'm I'm really sure
that a lot of the wrestlers are going to have a different list of what
we want to see. If I had to choose one match from right now
I would love to see, Honestly, I would love to see like Orange
Cassidy versus I. Honestly, I really haven't been able to come up with
just one, but Orange is one of my favorite wrestlers on the roster,
because I mean not just one. Three. You haven't said anything yet.
Yeah, I would love to see h Honestly, I would like to see
somebody like Daniel Bryan versus Zach Saber Junior on ours. I know Zach's not
part of our roster, but he is part of New Japan and they work
with each other. That would be one of my dream matches to see Daniel.
Who's Daniel Bryan. Oh yeah, yeah, Brian Danielson. Oh that
guy? Okay, that guy. You know what I'm talking about, you
know, But there there's just like it came to me when I was watching
the match on Saturday when he wrestled Shibata, and they said, Tony said,
you know, this is a dream match, and I got to thinking,
good God, the number of people I would love to see, like
MJF versus h will Ospray. You know, some there's just it's it's the
point where there are so many guys and girls. I mean, I would
love to see Chris versus Jamie Hayter, or versus our champion or any of
those girls that she hasn't had a chance to go up against yet, because
Chris Stadler is my favorite woman's wrestler. But it's is there. It is
really hard to come up with. Say I would have to take a bout
a month to sit down and look at the whole roster and go yeah,
but they did not and come up with a good you know what I mean,
It would be hard for me to do that. Let me let me
ask you a question. Suddon. Talk about Brian Danielson, and he's had
several dream matches. Now, of course, he did have one on a
pay per view, which I'm but I'm talking. I want to talk specifically
about on free TV. Would you say that the match between Danielson and Shabbata
on free TV that took place on what was a collision, was that the
best dream match so far for Danielson? No, No, which one did
you pick? I would say it would have been uh, he wrestled he
wrestled Osprey before that match was off the hook? That was that was?
That was that we're doing that was that was our pay per view? I
think that was it. Uh, it was on though, No, not
with New Japan. Yeah, I'll talk about I mean, he wrestles,
He's wrestled most of everybody that he needed to wrestle. I don't think he
really has a whole lot that he has to do. But with it being
in a W, the Osprey match with him would probably be if it was
on free TV, that would be the ultimate one. Yeah, t Qustia,
I mean there, Jay White, Uh, you name anybody that's in
the the uh in the main event area of the a W roster is a
dream match with with with Danielson because I think he's probably along with Ta Kestia
and Osprey, they're probably the three top guys in a W when it comes
to putting on superior matches. Kenny can put one on. But he hasn't
wrestled for Salon because he's been hurt, and he was hurt forever and then
he came back in and he's got the AIS and he's no way nobody knows
if he's coming back or when, so you know, you kind of can't
really count him in there. But I think that if he comes back and
comes healthy, him and him and uh, him and Danielson would be a
great match too to watch. So you know, there's just so many that
you could you could ray down. You know, I'd love to see in
the tag team division. I'd like to see uh the uh. I would
like to see the f t R versus the acclaim. That would be an
awesome match to have. Uh My, one of my favorite matches of the
that they've had in a W was a dream match when it was the first
ladder match between Nicholas and Matthew and uh the Lucher Rose. That was one
of the greatest, you know, ladder matches of all time. And it
was on free TV, So you know, they that's the nice thing about
aw Tony's not afraid to put those kind of matches on free TV. He
doesn't hoard them all for the pay per views. Because he could have held
that ship, that match between Shabata and Danielson, he could have put it
on a pay per view, but he gave it to us for free.
Mm hmm. Yeah, so he gave us about ten potential matches. That's
one, but you wouldn't you went above and beyond. That's great. Okay,
I'm sorry, I'm just playing with you. MK. Well what do
you what are your thoughts on what is your dream match or dream matches?
M hm, there you go. Uh my big one I really want to
see is it is is Ray Phoenix versus will Ostprey those those to create matches
together. And also I want to see versus Osprey is nobody but me want
to see ReHO and Jim Cornett, Well yeah, dream Cornett's not yet signed
to a W, so once that, once he gets that, Jim Cornett
is all elite forbidden door Come on, what can be more forbidden than Jim
Cornett in a W Come on? That's true? Oh man, okay,
Throughnett, what what do you have in terms of dream matches? Dream matches?
I would love to see my good good commentator Nigel Russell, Ryan Dan,
you'll send in a Texas deathmatch? Oh wow, I would love to
see it. Well, that would never happen with Dijel he b. But
they can have a clam digging contest. Yeah there you go, yeah something,
give us something and and almost to the point of the they do an
I quit match because they're they're dislike of one another. Is just epic.
I'm trying to think who else would I like to see as far as I
have. Honestly, I feel like I've seen a lot of dream matches,
a lot of things as a fan that I've wanted to see. And I
think that might come from Tony Kahan being a wrestling fan and he's kind of
a part of my generation, so he and I seem to have very similar
tastes in a lot of wrestlers. And yeah, let me start a question
out to you and and everybody else can answer this too, but we aw
just signed Mercedes Monette. Yeah, what's a dream match? Whether within the
a w roster or forbidden door? What's a good dream match for Mercedes spot?
Oh? I don't know with her, geez, that's a tough one.
You know who I like to see her? Russell is Britt Baker.
Okay, that makes sense? Yeah, well just you know how to uh
just threw up a little in his mouth. But I don't say that I
don't like to I'm no Britt Baker fan, but I I would like to
see her Russell Britt Baker. If if I could see anything, I would
I would like to see that one. That would be the one I'd like
to see. Does anybody else want to answer that question? From? For
me? From Mercedes? I didn't want her much in the other place.
I didn't want your in w W e very. I mean, I knew
who she was because everybody you know, you know that, you hear it,
you see it from other places. But I don't really I have to
see her in the ring and how she is now, you know what I
mean, Because you come back from an anchoringery when you've missed almost a year
not going to be an easy thing. Okay, let's just say. I
mean, you know how big her name is. What's a good name for
her to wrestle? That would be a dream match in a w or Forbidden
Dorish Jami Hayter or Julia Julian from Stardom not Julia, yeah, Stardom.
Okay, yeah, I want to hear go ahead against Rosa. I think
thunder Rosa and her have the same style, same aggressive attitude. You got
are three indeed? Right? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? For me,
I want to see Mercedes versus Statlander because to me, Statlander is kind of
someone that I've seen that's kind of like Charlotte Flair in w W E and
I want to see and and in Mercedes. When she was in WW,
she had tons of matches against Charlotte, So I want to see what Statlander
looks like inner match with Mercedes. For that reason, just throw it in
there. I want to see uh, Mercedes and Julia as well from stardom
mm hmm, yeah, I guess. And then for my my dream mad
that I'm I'm been thinking about. Like first, you know, there's obviously
Will Osprey versus every single person in the roster, oh kind of versus everybody.
But the thing that I really wanted to see, and I've been thinking
about this for a while since the Young Bucks debuted their new personas is Young
Bucks versus Christian Cage and Adam Copeland. And I'm thinking, yeah, doing
that at like All Out or yeah, the big Wembley Stadium pay per view,
I think mm hmm. And maybe for some extra flavor, make it
a three way tag match like a TLC type of match and throwing FTR as
well, But that might make it be making it too complicated. Yeah,
see that's where that's where with the like having Matt and Jeff there, I
wish they were as healthy and able to go a little more than they can
because you have the innovators of the ladder match, the Hardy's Christian Edge or
Christian and Cage. I mean you know what I mean that would be and
you throw it in the Young Bucks and and the Luci Bros. Oh my
god, what a four way match that could be if they were able to
do it. Yeah, go to a four way match. It comes too
convoluted, and just keep it a one on one team against another team.
But then you could do a tournament even if you wanted to. Just don't
put four way because that totally ruins the whole purpose of it. I wish
Tony Con. In my opinion, that's the biggest weakness with AW is that
twenty con puts on some good matches that would have been good matches if you
would have kept them one on one or two on two instead of sticks on
six. You know, they just become convoluted. True. Yeah, Okay,
I guess we'll change topics. I know, m K. You had
a topic you wanted to bring up from the legend al Snow. Yes,
legendary Al Snow. Uh. Yeah, you know it's been talked about,
not only but him by Ray had a comment about it too. Uh yeah,
I posted this on ah on the on the Red on the subreddit and
Stephan Att had a poll about it and said overwhelming people will disagree with me,
but I feel that a W wrestlers are a few dangerous for their own
goods sometimes. And uh, just like the Last Dynamite, I felt like,
you know, I felt that Darby Allen did not need to do some
of the movies. He's he's he's done, and he injured himself just to
the fact that injure himself. You know, the scissor lift fiasco with Sammy
Guevara and uh and Matt Hardy was another one that I felt, you know,
why even have that matches? Why do we need to do things sometimes?
Tony Kah needs to sit down these guys and say, hey, we
need to play safe. Maybe it's me from an older age of being,
you know, you want the rest of to be safe and do it right
and not hurt each other. And why I'm mean to hear what you guys
think, but I just want people to be safe and have a good long
career instead of being a human wrecking ball. But uh, Alice, what
do you think about that? Uh? Yeah, Lake, I'm an ECW
kid. That was like my number one promotion back in the day, So
yeah, I do like seeing the riskier moves. That's what makes me love
Darby Allen is the fact that he's doing these crazy things. And I feel
like wrestlers are a little bit more like they're safe in a way. They're
not using drugs and stuff, but they are aching these horrible bumps that are
are pretty crazy, and it does escalate over time, like you gotta climb
a higher and higher ladder. Darby's jumping through a table, but then he's
jumping through just chairs, and now he's jumping through glass into chairs. So
it does make me worry for these guys. I don't know if I agree
with Al snow saying someone's gonna die in the ring, but I do think
it is dangerous, and on one hand, I like to see it because
that's something that I've always enjoyed as a wrestling fan. But I don't know,
I do want it to be done safely. I'm Sutton, what are
your thoughts on that? Well, I don't know. I agree they do
a lot more dangerous things than they used to, but growing up watching wrestling
as long as I have. I come from the air. When they started
out with they started having the scalfiting, scalfiting scoffolding scaffold match. Yeah,
you know, you got those guys twenty feet in the air beating the living
crap out of each other, and as somebody falls to the table. I
watched. You know, we've all seen it a dozen times when Undertaker through
Mick Foley off the top of the cage. I mean, there's always been
a bit of danger in the sport because unbeknownst to everybody that thinks it's real,
not real, it's real. I'm sorry Darby went through the glass for
real. I mean, you know he knows what he's doing. I think
that I think that, you know, there is some safety concern if you
give you have to have a limit. You can't keep going to the top
of the building, you can't go that far. You have to have a
limit. Somewhere should have a limit. But with the general way they're doing
things, I just think it's the evolution of wrestling. What do you think
that. I think that nowadays, I think wrestling is a lot safer than
it used to be, and I like that excitement with a little hint of
you know, is it dangerous, what's going to happen? Like when Darby
went through that glass. I was absolutely amazed that he did that. And
I think that they take precautions to make sure that they're as safe as they
can be. People don't always talk about the things that have actually happened in
wrestling, where people have actually died, and they shy away from that.
I don't know if it's because it's just a tragedy and you just don't want
to talk about it, or if it adds to the well wrestling isn't real.
None of you know that can't be possible. But I don't know.
I feel like wrestling is as safe as it can be. And if you
if you want to get into stuff that is really dangerous. If you want
to see really dangerous wrestling, go see death matches. Those are dangerous and
those make me question the sanity of a lot of people, including myself.
So so, oh, we all know you're crazy. Yeah, see,
you guys know. I think they're as safe as they can be. I
don't I don't think anybody's taking unnecessary risks just for the sake of, say,
of taking them. I don't think so I think it's pretty pretty safe,
and it's you know, nothing horrible has happened in a w at least
that I can think of where somebody has really really been hurt on live TV,
for example, and you know I have to stop the show. So
I'm I don't, I don't know. I like the risk. Yeah,
I mean, Look, the way I look at it is this is like,
compared to WWE or AW more susceptible to injuries than WWE wrestlers. Yes.
The reason why is because AW TV shows, the two hour TV show
Dynamite has far more wrestling than a three hour show on RAW. You know,
you're looking at just the body of work. You know, have there
been stupid injuries? Yes, you know throughout wrestling one that I could think
of. Look, you don't put wrestlers in a situation that opens them up
for injuries because it's out of their realm. The best example of that I
can tell you is that top rope jump from Sid Vicious in w c W
whare he It was a very simple move for most wrestlers in ae W that
are able to do top rope stuff. Sid Vicious couldn't. He landed on
his feet and his leg just broke, you know, you know, you
know that was it and it was not and he should he had no business
doing that, and everybody was said that at the time. You know that
I saw, yeah, And then you know, then again, then you
look at Dante Martin and the Ring of Honor when he broke his leg last
year. That was just an a fortunate accident. It was well within his
realm of his abilities and the abilities of the wrestlers he was fighting against.
It was just an unfortunate accident. Then you look at the staying Great Muda
and Buddy Matthews with Julia Hart on the apron. Julia Hart got bumped by
Matthews. She completely missed the table table and planned it on her back and
on her head on the floor. She should have never been put in that
position. She's not, you know, that type of person. But to
her credit, she heeled up, she came back, and then she took
a V trigger in the same fashion from Kenny Obega, so got to give
it to her. So you know, it's just like, what are you
doing here? But you know, look, I've you know, the women
in a w Russell Morton, women in a INWWE, the men in a
w Russell Mord and the women in WWE, the women in Start of Russell
a lot more than the wrestlers in AW and w CO mine probably, you
know, So, I mean you just got to look at it that way.
And you know, look, we all saw the match where Sammy Gaevara
broke the nose of Jeff Hardy. Well, that was an accident. You
know, nothing will convince me otherwise it was an accident. Now, some
people will say that Semi Gafara is a botch machine and that he shouldn't be
doing this stuff, but that's Semi Gavara's style wrestling. And if you get
in the ring with Semi Gafara, you're taking that risk. You know,
It's as simple as that. You know, look at the same move was
done and start him on Mina Shirkawa, and Mina Shirkawa took the bump and
got the need of to face it. Not every single one of her teeth
in her lower jaw completely loose. It looked like, you know, and
she was out for a long time. You know, so accidents to happen,
But if you're in a ring with somebody who's known to do that,
when you're asked to go into that match, just say no, you got
to agree, you know, to rest that person, or you got to
agree to a spot. Hardy agreed to that spot. Sammy got suspended not
because of that particular spot. It was because of he did his g go
to Sleep finisher after he was told to bring it home because of a concussion
protocol, and he still did a finisher like that and that's why he got
suspended. So you know, you got to be smart. That's all there
is to it. That's it. And speaking of concussions, like nowadays,
if you get a concussion in a match, and there's been some high profile
ones with John Moxley and Jeff Hardy just now, but after they get the
concussion, they don't wrestle again for a while, whereas they used to just
they would just keep wrestling and wrestling, and then they'd have a concussion every
single match, like a little one, and those are what really piles up
on you. And they're way smarter about it these days, so that's a
positive. Well, how many times has Dormy done that move that he got
hurt on on Wednesday last week? He dies out the ring like that every
time he wrestles and this one time he landed wrong. Accidents happened exactly.
So you know, look, we've got a w Dynamite coming to live Wednesday
night from Toronto, Canada in a venue and an evening where Rampage is also
live. Right after Dynamites, we have three hours of wrestling. Our good
friend here, Alex is going to be in attendance tomorrow night in Toronto.
Uh so if you're watching on TV tomorrow, he'll be the naked guy doing
jumping Jackson the second row. Yeah. Oh man. Anyway, I'm sure
wet shirt naked otherwise, yea naked otherwise, but an FDRs or Charlie Brown.
So we've got this this card. I mean, there's some really good
matches on this card, even on Dynamite and Rampage have they both have good
matches or interesting matches. There's a couple of clunkers. I would say,
Uh, it's one that I'm really worried about. But uh, let's get
a preview of the next Tomorrow night's Dynamite going. And I'm gonna talk about
I don't know, I don't really have a lot to say about this,
but I do want to get everybody's opinion about Chris Jericho and hook Uh Sutton,
I'm gonna go right to you because I literally have nothing to say about
this match, and that should be a testament what I'm how much I'm looking
forward to this match. Do you see any we're giving value with this match
at all? Not? Really? I mean, I get what Chris is
saying. I listen to the to the you know, he said he wants
he likes to know. He can't learn everything he wants to about somebody by
wrestling with them. He has to wrestle against them, and I get that,
but in general, like most people think it's unnecessary, there's no reason
for this match. It's not leading to anything. If they're going to be
a tag team, they're going to be a tag team. What does it
matter if he can beat him or not. Well, let me ask you
this. I want to break in because Chris Jericho has gone on record saying
that he's he likes getting the younger guys over, and he has done a
really good job about getting younger guys over. But at some point, if
you're constantly getting younger guys over and you're not winning yourself, because let's face
it, Chris Jericho hasn't been winning a whole hell of a lot lately.
Are you really getting younger talent over when everybody else has beaten you anyway too?
You know, well, I mean it is it is Chris Jericho.
He's arguably one of the greatest of all time. He's done this for nearly
forty years. He's wrestled everywhere. He's had a great career, So you
know, it's it. It would be. I think he puts he gives
them something. I don't know if it's as much as he thinks he does.
But you know, there's gonna come a time where you have to move
away from that, you really do, because it's not doing anything, it's
not doing enough for them. Hook's over. I don't know how much moreover
you can make Hook, you know what I mean. He is theot.
He's probably one of the most over guys on the on the roster right now.
So you know, there's there's this is basically for Jericho to get a
match with Hook. It's MK. What are your thoughts on the Jared ko
versus Hook match. I think it's a good matchup for him. You know,
he needs to go against veterans who have been there, done that,
and learn how to style his matches better and get him moved different move set
and get him out of the minds mindset he's in right now. I like
Hook. I don't get the popularity for him. I think he's a nepotism
higher that has gotten over himself over And that's fine. But if you want
to, as Rick Clair says, to be the man, you have to
beat the man, and you have to be able to go with veterans and
they know how to put on a match and like it or not. Chris
Jerrich who could put on a good match. I don't know where it's going.
I assume somewhere, I don't. I don't know, but for sure
with one guy, I if I had to have a match with some buddy
and knew he would take me places, and I would trust him enough to
put on a good match and make me look good. Mhm and Nett,
what do you think about this match? I love Chris Jericho, but even
I am getting a little bit tired of seeing Chris Jericho, and I don't
think it's really a necessary match. I think Cook is doing fine on his
own. He's handling business. It's almost like Chris Jericho keeps attaching himself to
whoever is the most popular person at the moment, and that's getting a little
bit stale. So I'm not that excited about it. No, I'm not
really looking forward to it. Oh nope, Yeah, I'm curious, like
I'm going to be there and it's lying her Chris jerichos so we're not getting
a Judas sing along and they're in Canada, so like that choice seems a
little weird to me, first of all. And I guess I'm also not
fully sold on Hook. There's something he just feels young and inexperience to me,
and obviously he is young and inexperienced, but just the way he moves
in the ring for me, maybe I'm being too hyper critical, but he
always seems kind of a little bit hesitant. So I'm still waiting for Hook
to really fully sell himself to me. And it is just kind of a
weird feud. And I imagine they're setting up maybe a Chris Jericho heal turn
or some feud with someone else. I don't know. Yeah, it is
a little strange. And Kelson, I guess you have no thoughts on this
match still, you just thought of any No, I mean I really really
don't. This is just this is a jobber match to me. I mean
honestly, I mean it's just like tak it. I just hope it's a
good match. But as far as who wins, who cares? Yeah,
I think for sure Hook's gonna be winning. But yeah, it's not.
It's not like beating Chris Jericho means what it did a year ago or two
years ago. Yeah, you're right, he has been losing a lot,
so it's just another one of those matches. Yeah, and I'm still mad
that he beat Kyle Fletcher like the way. Yeah, he puts over Takeushta,
but then he's still beating all the other guys. It does kind of
annoy me. That's a good point. So what match do you want to
talk about, Alex? I think, yeah, I'm really excited for this
woman's match, Tony Storm, Riam versus Deanna Parrazzo thunder Rosa. It's exciting
that I get to see all the dumb wrestle in person. Yeah, it
was really shocked. I thought they were gonn to get a Canadian woman to
wrestle with Gianna Parozzo. I thought maybe we'd see her return of the Bunny.
But I I guess I'm pleasantly surprised that it's going to be thunder Rosa
with her. But yeah, and Ryan May Tony Storm. Have we had
them as a tag team? But I think we did once? Right?
Did we just have them as a tag team on your collision this past week?
I was okay, they took they took out Minion number one a minion
number two. Yeah, I remember one was l M k oh yeah yeah
and Kathleen yeah. The other one was the other one mm hmmmm yeah,
yeah. I think this is an exciting match. Stutton, what are your
thoughts on this? It could be it'll be an opportunity to see how they
work together as a team. I I guess it's just are they are they
using this to continue the Leanna Pirazzo versus the Champ or are they going to
do something else with it? I mean there's other than that. It should
be a pretty good match. I just don't know. I mean, I
don't know. It just it doesn't seem like it's it's it's going anywhere for
me. What do you think? MK, I'm I'm having a battle with
this. I think n versus mute Button's gonna get old quickly. I really
think that this is a good chance for thunder Rosa to show up and show
out a little bit. I really, you know, kept me if I'm
wrong, but it was when thunder Ross went out, it was Tony Storm
who got the belt, right, So this is a chance really to show
her that they can still hang and that she gonna work together. I don't
know how many matches she's had on her way thunder Russell has had sn't she's
been out, but uh, this is a chance for her to get her
popularity back a little bit. And I loved her. I love I like
the match that she's put on with Britt Baker. Most of them were good.
The cage match wasn't as good as the lights out match, but that's
a good thing. It's a good thing seeing Tony and Tony and Mariah May
together. But uh, all together, this is phil was great excellent wrestlers
who are definitely gonna put on a good match. So there's you know,
this will be one of the better women's matches we've had in a while.
I think, mm hmm. Yeah. And one thing I like about it
is you don't know who's gonna win. It's not predictable. Net. Do
you have any thoughts on this match. I liked thunder Rosa. I'm excited
to see her wrestle in general. I think she has a plan where she's
going to, I don't know, do something because she's still after that belt.
Because if you remember, at the end of the announcement of her she
said something about, yeah, the belt I never lost. So I'm wondering
if she's going to turn on Palazzo or you know it, if she's up
to something more than just this match. So I'd like to see what comes
of it. Yeah, fantasy booking this match for me has been actually kind
of fun because the way I look at it is, first of all,
you have a Rio May and Tony storm together and if you ask me,
and nobody did, but I'm gonna get my opinion anyway. Ria May right
now is a far better wrestler than Tony Storm right and it's not even close.
Okay, Tony Stormer is just not doing it for me. Her character
is great, her wrestling has been really bad. Anyway. Then you have
Dianna Parozzo, who beat Tony Storm at the pay per view, but the
referee didn't see it, so she didn't get to win and eventually took the
loss. Thunderosas Net said, is not did not lose that belt Tony Storm
way back when, so she has every bit of claim to being the real
women's champion. Gotta hated that belt anyway. So I think that Tony Storm
and Maria May will lose, and I think there'll bey be a little bit
of a dissension in between them because Maria May doesn't see her maybe begin that's
not see yourself as a protege anymore, and then you'll have maybe after the
match, Thunderstorm and Parozzo will win. Maybe Parozzo gets on the mike and
challenges, you know, Storm to a title shot, and Rosa steps in
and says, hey, wait a minute, I deserve that shot. I
think the next match we're going to see is going to be between Rosa and
Parazzo for the right to challenge for the for the championship. And that's my
that's my thoughts here. So let's moving on U to the Oh God,
So we've got look, we talked earlier in the show about AW possibly having
the best men's rosters, So what do you do with the really really superior
men's roster. You take him down a notch and continue the AAW Continental Championship,
wrecking the the reputation of great wrestlers score. You have Eddie Kingston defending
his continental championship, but I believe this is only the continental belt up for
grabs Toda on Wednesday night. The R Japan Belt is okay against the rain
MAKERSA Chika o kata. I love say Kazuchika, even though I know that's
not how you pronounce it. It sounds sounds slutty anyway, it does.
You know who's that girl over there dancing in the rain with no clothes on?
Oh, that's Kazuchika, you know. I just I just that's what
I think about it. You know, the Rainmaker. That's not what he
was going for anyway anyway, So I will put it this way. Two
things I will say about this match. One, I probably won't watch it
because I very very rarely watch any caston matches. But I do think that
Kazuchika is going to win the match, because if he doesn't, what's the
point of happened to Aw's wrestling anymore? I mean, Eddie Kingston really winning
matches against all these absolutely far superior wrestlers is getting a little bit old.
It's getting to the point where, I mean, if Akanda doesn't beat Kingston,
who's going to beat Kingston? They're gonna wheeler you to come out and
beat him one day or something. You know. I'm just saying, it's
like he's gone through between the Continental Classic, which had a bunch of great
wrestlers that he prevailed over his subsequent defenses, that he's deamrolled these people,
you know, these far I'm sorry, nobody will ever be able to tell
me that everybody he's beaten hasn't been a superior wrestler to me, because I
personally think that I've said it before and I'll say it again, Eddie Kingston
is the worst wrestler on the AW roster. Well, I mean, and
I mean in ring wrestling. There's no doubt about it to me. Okay,
so what are we talking about? If Alcada does not win this match,
it just renders a w pathetic to me. I'm sorry, that's the
way I feel. You know, love me or hate me, I don't
care. But Ifalkada doesn't win this match, Aw's dirt And I really mean
that sucking go ahead. Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with
you, but for different reasons. I think it's time Eddie's Eddie loses the
titles. I think he's losing this one tomorrow. He's losing the ROH title
to the at the next pay per view for them the first right, who's
you wrestling Risco? Yeah, Brisko Mark, He's going to wrestle him.
So I definitely see the downfall of Eddie. I still disagree with everybody that
said, oh no, they were never supposed to be Risk wrestled together.
They made this triple Crown in the beginning to be a triple Crown match.
That's what wanted it to do. But I think they've come to the conclusion
that they can't keep it together because next year they're including whoever happens to be
the a W champion in that match in that tournament. So you're kind of
got to separate him sometime, and I think this is the best way to
do it. I think you brought up you brought up him losing the the
r o H Championship, you brought him up losing the Confidental Championship. Here's
my question. He's held that do Japan Wrestling Championship for a long time now.
I mean, Japan wants their back. I'm sure they do, but
that'll probably won't come until uh either forbidden door or he'll have to travel for
that to happen. I would love to see them bring somebody over and take
it from him. I mean, but I just I disagree with the the
worst person in the on the roster. But I just think that, you
know, let me stop you. I'm interested. Now, who's the worst
wrestler ton Eddie Kingston. Britt Baker, She's the worst wrestler in wrestling period.
She she's not good in the ring. She could not win a match
against anybody by herself. She never want to see that. Well, yeah,
but the only thing that I discount you on that though, is that
Britt Baker does know, you know, separate wrestling moves. She knew,
She's She's kind of like had that someone earlier when they had had compared uh
that lander to Flair. I was thinking, oh my god, what is
wrong with you? Because I don't I don't think Charlotte Flair is a good
wrestler. She has four moves too. You have a bunch of these wrestlers
that have come along in the last few years that have those four move sets
that people have made bigger than they truly are. Look at Jay Cargio.
She's gone. She's probably never going to wrestle again. Maybe she should,
you know what I mean. She's said that herself, she doesn't want to
wrestle again. But going back to this, I just I just think that
I think it. He's held the R O H title longer though. I
think that's the one he's had the longest, because I think he was the
good news is that britt Baker probably won't be challenging Eddie Kingston for the Continental
Championship because you know the whole you know so, but you know, you
brought up your breaker. I'm not going to disagree with you there, But
did they bring up somebody that Eddie Kingston may actually wrestle? But I think
you lose this too. I have no idea who's on the R on the
the Strong Championship. I have no idea who's in that they would challenge him
for that, So you know, I can't who's that Jack Berry? Yay,
you never know, that could happen, but I see him losing it.
I think is going to beat him. You got to give the title
to the new guy. What do you think, mk? I I really,
you know, I'm just watched for alctdor to to just beat the crap
out of Eddie Kingston. Is what I want to see that this just show
him up completely. Uh, you know, I don't understand this hard on
that Tony has had for for Eddie. I mean, as as Kelson has
said, he's beaten a lot of good quality people that he has no utter
business of even beating. I mean, Danielson is considered one of the best.
Uh you know, they're pushing this guy as one of the highlight guys.
I just I don't see the need for him to be when you have
so many, so much young talent that can be pushed out there. And
that's why it's against him winning this Continental Classic thing in the first place,
is because he's a schlub compared to a lot of these other guys. You
know, will Osprey is leaps and bounds bigger than better than him. But
yet they chose, they chose a guy who does not look the part,
not rest with the part, but they made him one of their crowning one
of their crowning people. Uh well, let me ask you a question,
though, would you say that the appeal of Eddie kinks that isn't his wrestling,
but it's his underdog status. I mean, he is the he is
very very good at doing underdog promos and putting himself out there as the underdog.
Do you think that's the appeal? You know, because I agree with
you. I mean, frankly, he should have lasted thirty seconds and any
of the matches that he's won, yea, even appeal his promos only.
I don't care about the underdog underdog thing. He's just you know, you're
you're drunk uncle who these parties is much and likes to run his mouth and
people connect with that. His his average person, you know, kind of
like Dusty Rhodes would. But I'm not going to compare the talent skills of
the two together. But that's who he kind of reminds me of, is,
you know, just the average guy who thinks who he was no more
average, but people like him because his promos and his heart and his promos
just just to break in again here, I grew up in when Dusty Rhodes
was in his prime, you know, back in the Georgia Championship Wrestling stuff.
And I had the same thoughts about Dusty Rhodes as I did about Eddie
Kingston. I listened to Doc couldn't stand to watch him in the ring fair.
How do you think? Oh did you ask me? Yes? I
did. I'm sorry, I'm sorry I was coughing. Well, I'm I'm
an Eddie Kingston fan and I just heard I know, I heard Kelson say
something that made me think it's it goes back farther because I was a big
Dusty fan. So I don't I agree that Eddie has wrestled some people that
are better than him at the art of wrestling. I don't know exactly why
he seems to beat everyone that he comes in contact with. I mean,
you know, he's he's not that good to to just be beating everybody,
and even even the best people lose sometimes. So I don't know where they're
going with Eddie. I'm I keep waiting for some kind of big story or
some kind of ending to this. What exactly is the endgame? What are
what are they doing? And I think he will lose that title to Okada.
I think that Okata is somebody that can go and represent that title internationally
in more places, and I think that's probably something that they're looking to do
with that title, to bring more eyes on a w from all over the
place. And yeah, I just I wonder what what's next for Eddie,
because you know, I like Eddie and I'd like to see him more.
So I'm wondering what they're gonna do with him. I don't know, we'll
see, we will will be watching doing something else. I think I really
do expect Ocatta to win this match, so I'll probably be at the very
least listening to it and then rejoicing when the wrestler actually wins. But Alex,
we haven't heard your opinion on this. Yeah, I think I think
the fact that it's for only the AW Continental Championship, that's pretty clear giveaway
that Ocott is probably winning this match, and I think that's the right decision.
I'm not gonna hate on Eddie like a lot of you guys do Eddie.
You are not allowed to hate on aw. Okay, the machine gun
chops they're kind of goofy, but the rest of his chops I think look
good, and he really hits people hard. I think Eddie as an underdog
wrestler, like he had matches in Ring of Honor versus Claudio, matches against
uh like see him punk and stuff early on, Like he's had a lot
of matches that I really enjoyed his recent match with Danielson, Like seeing Eddie
overcome challenges I think is entertaining. And I really feel like we missed out
on the Eddie versus n JF for the World title feud just like promos alone,
I thought that would have been a really great feud. Uh yeah,
like because I think it's about the chase for the title. I think having
Eddie is the champion. Yeah, that's that's not his bread and butter.
So yeah, he's he's gonna lose. Okada's like one of the greatest wrestlers
of all time, really, and he's in his prime. It's gonna take
some time to get him used to the American English speaking audience, but he's
his English has been pretty good. Uh oh, yeah, he has done
well, hasn't he. Yeah? Yeah, I think he's really getting like
his personality over in the few instances that we've seen, and and it is
weird that they're splitting up the title like it's but at the same time,
I'm happy because I do think the ROH title deserves a lot better than it's
gotten these last few months. And if Eddie loses the Mark Briscoe as well,
that'll be good for the title itself, because I think that is an
important title. We've seen a lot of good ROH World Heavyweight champions, and
people use that as a stepping zone in the past. I know it's not
really the same as it is now, but I think it's important to treat
that title with respect. Yeah, I agree. You know, I thought
of something and I'm probably gonna get boot out of this, but I will
say this. You know, if somebody were to if somebody asked me to
describe Eddie Kingston, I would say, you know, likes somebody who watched
WCW and all those old things are new to WAW. What is Eddie Kingson
like? And I would say, if Tony Siavanni was a wrestler, he
be Eddie Kingston. No, no, no, I really think that.
I really think that Tony Shavani could beat Eddie Kingston. I think anybody could
beat Eddie Kingston would die. I would love to get into a fight,
a real fight with Eddie Kingston because i'd freaking destroy him, plan and challenge,
just sweep the leg and he's done. That's it. Haven't you seen
Eddie doing all his working out with Caesar Bonone. I was watching that and
I hope that he does actually get in shape and be able to move,
you know, so that maybe he could do you know, I don't know,
a backflip, not I mean, you know, a headlock or something,
because he doesn't have that in his repertoire yet. Maybe he's gonna lose
his titles and he's gonna go off on that that sad depressed wrestler away thing
for a while and he's gonna come back new Eddie and ready to fight everyone.
He should go to a wrestling school in Nepal. Yeah, him and
Caesar Banone. Yeah, because Caesar. But he does really great work.
And I when I heard about that, I was like, this is really
good for Eddie because Eddie really does need it, because let's face it,
Eddie is not a spring chicken. He's only you know, if he keeps
going down this path that he's going as far with this physique because he's getting
bigger, bigger, at bigger at least he was, I mean, and
he's slower and slower and slower and sloppier and sloppier and sloppier. His career
has got three years pops of mediocre wrestling in it, you know. So
all right, Alex, what do you want to talk about next? Because
I know that there's a all Canadian match and I know that you're probably drooling
over. Yeah, for sure. Uh. I think I'm looking forward to
the Eddie Kingston Ocado match more for some reason, just because maybe that's gonna
be more my style of wrestling. But yeah, the Canadian boys, they're
both from. They're not really from Toronto, I would say. I think
they're from like Orangeville, which is sort of close to Toronto, but they've
always said that they're from Toronto. Yeah, this match is gonna be wild,
I think because this is they're kind of building this as like the last
match between these guys, and I feel like it's gonna set up maybe them
tagging together. Maybe we get to see what I picked as a dream match,
young Bucks versus these guys that at Wembley. Oh wow. Let me
let me ask you a question though, Alex, because we saw Copeland bring
out Spike, you know, the little bat with the nails in it from
the box. Uh? Is this a no holds barred, anything goes match?
Because what's the point of bringing spike out when he can't use it without
getting I think an I quit match just means that it's kind of a no
DQ match by default. So yeah, I think there's gonna be tables,
ladders, chairs, spiked bats, maybe someway. I mean, they use
thumbtacks every single hardcore match these days, so we'll probably see that. Or
glass Yeah yeah, I guess glasses on the table. Now, maybe some
fire. I was just thinking fire. Maybe snakes, yeah, I mean
he mentioned might get a Mick Foley appearance. O god, that would just
talk about a plot. Yeah wow yeah, and I'm hoping. I'm hoping
it spills out into some area close to me and I can get some video
of them right next to me. Maybe get some blood on me, that
would be cool. I want to get some blood on me. I don't
know if they actually do, but when you're on camera, you gotta like
slowly lick it off, you know, like that a lot. Yeah,
as long as it's not Nigel's but yeah, oh god, he went there.
That was for anybody listening. His name is spelled A L e X.
That's Alex. I just I just learned that he had You can you
can email him at a w at How about gmail dot com? Tell him
what kind of an asshole he is for saying that. Well, I think
that that's the thing about be saying stuff about Eddie Kingson is I know somebody's
gonna say something worse than I did. Thank you, Alex for I did
it without even train. All right, let's quickly change topics. Well,
this match, I think it's gonna be a great match. The capability of
these two could put on I'm not really I've never really seen Christian is the
main guy. He's just it's never been that way for me. I don't
like what he's doing now. It's just I can't stand the character anymore.
I'm tired of listening to the the uh disrespecting everybody's family. That just doesn't
go over with me. Uh. Somebody say, I think it was ned
said that mother Wayne will be involved, and I'm I'm I'm really hoping that
they turn on him tomorrow, that they do what they had planned to do
before and and and he loses the title. And it, and it has
to do with his proteges as much as it does with with Copeland. Yeah,
with Copeland, I really hope that happens. I think I think it
might. I think it might. I agree with you there because I mean,
they talked about it. They talked about it being with Jungle Boy coming
back. But when they went with the other thing of him doing now,
I thought, well, maybe they could use Daniel Garcia there, because that
would be a great replacement for that. Bring him into the fold as another
young guy and then have him turn. But they can do it without that.
They don't have to have an extra element to have them turn and her
start something of a matriarchy instead of the patriarchy and taking a different route.
That's what I'm hoping will happen. What do you think, MK, I
have to totally disagree with you, but on a lot of points. As
a matter of fact, I really feel you know, Christian's best work has
came outside of WWE. His teen eight Days, he was phenomenal. He
is that guy and everybody who rests him says that they make him better.
I love the patriarchy, love what they're doing. I think it's too soon
to have it turning insto him quite yet, but this match has to be
have Edge winning. I don't think Edge necessarily needs a title, but he
has to end the feud and this will help him take on some new people
and get some more talent over. But I think I want to see Christian
fall some more and just be in disarray and then they finally start leaving him.
I want the dissolving of the patriarchy needs to be a slow burn rather
than something real quick. So that was my opinion of it. NET.
What do you think? M hmmm, I think it will. I think
they're gonna rip the band aid off if they do it, I think it
will be fast. And and you know, you know that if if either
Nick or Mother Wayne turn on him, the other person is likely going to
turn on him. So if Mother Wayne leaves him, Nick is likely going
to leave him too. So and I don't know what they're doing with Lucasaurus
kill switch. He's just kind of in the mix. But I think that
if if they do turn on Christian, it's going to be fast. And
I'm I'm wondering what is next for him? What is he going to do
next? I'm also wondering what Copeland is going to do next, because it's
supposed to be an I Quit match. Is somebody really going to quit?
It seems like they both are having pretty good runs, and I can't see
either one of them just completely and totally walking away. It's not that kind
of equipment. It's just that the only way you win is by making them
say I quit. But it doesn't mean anything other than they quit the match.
Yeah, gonna quit quit because they were getting on one another everyone else
just to determine the winner to match. I will say this, Yeah,
the last time I saw Copeland in an I quit match was as Edge.
Probably the last w W match I ever watch watched it was an I quit
match. I can't remember who he wrestled. Was at a pay per view.
I want to say it was Bobby Lashley, but I don't think it
was. I don't remember. But anyway, Copeland did quit because Beth Phoenix
got into the ring and she was about to get slaughtered and they were holding
Copeland back and he said I quit to save his wife. But I don't
think Beth Phoenix is going to show up tomorrow night, although it would be
interesting. But look, here's the thing with this is that I really,
I don't mean this in any disrespectful way at all. I really don't care
who wins this match. It's more about the story and the match itself for
me. But ultimately, I think the end goal, the light at the
end of the tunnel, the means to the end, is for Copeland and
Cage to get together form a tag team again. And let's face it,
they can't. They can't put this slow burn it too much because you know,
you know, you don't want them coming out to the ring and walkers,
you know, I mean, you just seriously, and you want to
take advantage of them. Why they're both very still, very good wrestlers.
And I don't know whoever said who said this, but you know I was
watching WWE when Edge and Christian were a team, and Edge is nowhere,
I mean, Christian is nowhere near the wrestler as he was back in those
days, meaning that he has improved in every aspect of his wrestling so much,
you know, so you know, for ww fans coming to watch this
match, you know, at even at this point of time in his career,
which you know is in the twilight of his career, Let's be honest,
he's he's he's not going to be around that much longer, you know.
But you know, as far as wrestling goes, I don't I've doctors,
you know, predicting a demise or anything like that. But he's he's
better now than he ever was before in my opinion. So don't discount Christian
Cage because of his age and whatnot. He is a good professional wrestler and
and and what I mean I emphasize good. I don't mean just he's good.
I mean he's good. So that's that I want to move on.
Here's one of the things about this match that I'm interested in, because this
is kind of a pretty I don't know, it's kind of a full you
know, we got four matches announced. Bercedes Money on Dynamite is also going
to speak. There'll probably be a couple Jobber matches thrown in because Tony Khan
does love his Jobbers and uh but anyway, so I think there may be
a because Rampage is on right after Dynamite, don't be surprised if it overruns
into Rampage because there's only two matches announced for Rampage. You know, that's
an hour two matches, but one of the matches is and I don't know
about you guys, but I don't really want to talk about Orange Cassidy Trumperetta
against the don Kallis family, Homs and Fletcher. If you guys to talk
about it, that's fine, But I want to go right to the women's
match because this one intrigues me because this could be either the biggest disaster of
the night or it could be the match of the night. We all remember
two years Bash when the women had a street fight a few years ago and
everybody was talking about that that match, and this match is kind of weird
because you got Chris Statlander and Willow Nightingale against Julia Hart and sky Blue.
Now, Chris Statlander and Willow Nightingale are bigger, stronger wrestlers than sky Blue
and Julia Hart. Julia Hart and sky Blue are far more quicker and more
athletic than Statlander and Nightingale is a team. Statlander is very athletic, but
Dightingale, let's face that she peters out after five minutes. If you watch
her last match that she had on TV, she basically stood in the middle
of the ring and just spun around while while Rijo did all the work running
back and forth all over the ring, and just go back and watch it.
Willow Ningale probably move fifty feet that entire match because she gets winded too
fast. So having a street fight, I don't know. The street fight
is could actually be a street fight because it's gonna be sub freezing in Toronto,
which kind of means they're gonna be freezing ther kulos off out there.
That's Italian for nos and uh, you know, Alex, you could.
I mean, it's gonna be cold there tomorrow night. Right, I am
checking the weather because I I think it's gonna be it'll it'll be freezing probably
in the Yeah, just a little bit. I looked at the weather this
morning and it was like at eight o'clock at show time. It's at eight
o'clock dynamite time. Remember this is a rampage match live, so to be
after ten o'clock, I mean at eight o'clock I think it was schu supposed
to be twenty nine or thirty degrees fahrenheit in Toronto. But anyway, but
anyway, so here's the thing. I mean, this is a street fight.
Of course, that means there's gonna be a lot of weapons and other
kind of things going on. There may be blood, which I honestly don't
believe I've ever seen any of these women bleed before. It's just gonna be
interesting to see how they pull this off again. This could be a complete
and utter disaster, and I'm holding my breath hoping that that doesn't happen.
This could be the match at a night And of course you could also say
somebody could get injured, which why would you do this match? You know
with people that this is not I don't know how you guys feel about it,
but this doesn't seem like it's at the wheelhouse. Street fight doesn't seem
like it's at the wheelhouse of Willow stat Julia and Guy. I don't know.
I'm all over the place in my thoughts. This is just, you
know, wrap it up for me here, buddy, because I have no
idea something. I mean something, What are we doing here? I kind
of agree with you. I don't understand why a street fight, but it
just seems that, like when they get to that third match in a or
after they've had a couple of matches between the team, they have to do
something. It has to be some kind of street fight or or you know
something like that. Yeah, I don't see them going outside, and I
kind of agree. I don't see this there's there's really I get what they're
doing it for to get the match in, for them to have another match
to keep their storylines going. But it would have been better to have I
don't know, any other kind of fight tables match, something like that,
something that you didn't have to leave them and they don't have to necessarily go
outside for it to be called a street fight, you know. So I
I really don't think there is a real reason to have this match other than
it it keeps the battle between the four of them going, So you know,
it's one of those things. Well, let me ask you this.
I mean, of these four women, I know that Julia Hart has gone
through tables before. She's been on a no holds barred bat, no holes
larred match. Yes, I just fell over my tongue. Excuse me why
I picked myself off or wipe myself off? Does he if the other women
in your your dollars been in a like a brawl before? Was that when
she came back from her first injury was involved in that match with it wasn't
her match, but she was involved in the one where she came out of
the toy thing, so I mean, but I don't think they have been
I mean Willow Willow has Willow probably somewhere and Ruby soho versus. Yeah,
I remember to kill Dana j with like, Yeah, she was barely in
that match, and that's one of the things with this kind of a match
though, with Willow having not so strong of cardio, they can do that
where she can be attacked, put down, she can stay out of it
for a bit, bring it back to the ring, she can do her
pounce, and you know, they can keep it where because I believe stat
Lander. For me, she's the best woman overall woman's roster member that we
have. She's the strongest of all of them. She can do almost anything.
I think she'll succeed in this kind of a match regardless. It's always
got to be a first time for you know, there's the first time for
everything. I think that when Baker and uh they had that lights out match,
I think that was probably one of the first times she was in a
match like that, and they they get I mean, that's one of the
most talked about matches ever, So you know, I just I don't know,
I just don't I just see this as like getting to the point where
it's starting to be oversaturation for these four. If you're gonna put Willow up
against Julia for the title, let her do it, move it on him
somewhere else, because this will be like the fifteenth time or fifteenth week in
a row, we've seen one of these four groups, these four people wrestling
one or the other. So it's kind of getting, you know, a
little redundant. So yeah, it could be like you said, it could
be a great match, and then it could fall apart because if you lose
Julia to an injury or we you know, or or or uh Willow gets
hurt or stat gets hurt or Scott gets hurt, you're taking out a good
competitor for absolutely no reason. Exactly what are your thoughts, MK, This
is a toss up for me, you know, like you said, I
really think that this gives a Willow a chance to wrest at some period,
be out for a little bit, come about, pounce somebody off the stage
or or whatever. But three out of the three out of the four are
kind of inexpect and experienced wrestlers and there's I don't know how to say this
better, but there's too much green involved in this match, and that's what
worries me a little bit. With a match, you know with thunder Rosa.
You know, thunder Rosa helped Britt Baker make that match, And the
longer you've been in the business, the more you know you could put together
a good a good match. But I'm I'm just not of I hope a
bos Will. I think it will go well, but I really feel like,
uh, this is the time to put this to bed. I don't
really want to see Willow with a TBS title. I don't think she's ready
with her cardio, her as a performer, but I just don't want to
see her right now until she gets in better shape and can put on better
matches. I don't want to see her at the Champion Net. What do
you think? I also am tired of seeing them all wrestle each other,
so I would like to see something new and something fresh. Maybe this is
the turning point. I'm really not sure, because honestly, I've kind of
checked out with them and stopped paying his close attention because I'm tired of seeing
them and Statlander is my favorite wrestler, So I just kind of hate this.
It almost seems like they're all stuck in a loop and there are a
lot of women on the roster that everybody could be wrestling everyone. So I
don't know why, you know, we're using the same people every show.
There needs to be some change, and hopefully this is the start of it.
That's that's my opinion. I don't know. Yes, yeah, I
think I'm probably the most excited out of anyone for this match. I'm I
think, yeah, personally because I'm gonna be there, and I have a
friend going with me who I don't think he's watched much, if any aw,
so this is gonna probably be his first time seeing a woman's match like
this because we've seen them do this and they pull out all the stops and
then there's you know, online backlash about women bleeding and all that crap.
So I feel like, yeah, they go out there in these matches and
they really feel like they have something to prove and they're gonna go all out,
and I'm excited to see it. And I like all four of these
women wrestlers. I'm not particularly tired of seeing them. I think this was
probably like the end, and we'll see what's gonna happen with Stokely and maybe
it'll set up whatever Julia Heart's matches at Dynasty. So yeah, I'm excited.
I think partially just because I'm gonna be there and I get to show
my friend some crazy, bloody women's wrestling match. But yeah, I'm excited.
So Alex, let me ask you something and everybody I want to get
just your quick take on this. But of the four women here, I
mean, it's a screen fight, you gotta have blood, whether it's bleeding
or blood capsule. Who do you think would be the one that you would
expect to bleed? I feel like Julia Heart bleeding would just create a good
image with her, you know, black attire and looking crazed and just really
like suit her gimmick. So yeah, I'm picking Julia for the like iconic
bloodied person in this match. Yeah, suck, what about you? What
do you think would be I gotta think the same thing. Being of the
House of Black, it kind of fits that personality. Maybe Skott because she's
she started to read sometimes she's somewhere in between. She's kind of like dark
but not quite dark, so she could too. I don't know. I
don't I don't think Willow will but maybe stat but I think probably Julia.
Kay, I'm really you know, I would like to see Willow bloody a
little bit just for her maybe too. Maybe that'll help her a little bit
darker and reach down deep and do something she normally doesn't do. And maybe
that's a good way for her to turn heel nett Oh, I agree with
you. I think that's a good way for Willow to reach into her to
her dark side. I think with Julia it's expected and I think everyone wants
to see it because she is with the House of Black. She does have
that dark persona. But yeah, I would pick Willow. I'd like to
see Willow really come out of that nice girl shell and start to be mean.
So yeah, now Willow is a really good choice. But you know,
when you look at the visual of Julia with the you know, light
almost white hair, you know, and her can you imagine her just go
full carry, you know, just to be drenched in blood and just just
you know, have nails and shit, just fly it all over the place
and paling everybody in the audience. You know, Sorry, Alex, but
uh, you know, just like you. Just just I it would just
seem like almost supernatural with Julia. But I do agree with Willow too because
that could be very interesting. So look, you know, Alex, you
know, I hope you have a really, really really good time tomorrow night
there with your friend. And watch out for flying nails. You know that
Julia Summons. You know, so because you know Julia with those spikes,
you know, she she figures how to make them fly through the air.
I mean, she's gonna be world champion. I mean there's just no doubt
about it. I mean, you just pit everybody to the ground with nails.
You should have got to cover them. So anyway, that's the show
for tonight. Thank you for listening to Ignition. Thank you to everybody,
uh Sutton and net and MK for coming and sharing your thoughts with us.
And again, Alex, I hope you have a great time tomorrow night at
aw Dynamite in and Rampage in Toronto for the whole team. This is Kelson,
This is Alex. Good night everybody. By night Night
