00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:07.639
Welcome everybody to another AEW Collision full
review here on a WW podcast, brought

2
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.480
to you by the rest of Manche
Team Today myself Rocket Tea check it now

3
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.439
once again, and I brought with
me the heavy hitter, the Louisville slugger,

4
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.920
Michael Gross. What's going on,
buddy? Not a whole lot.

5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.280
Now. I'm just living life and
loving it right now, and I'm just

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.800
having a great time. And I'm
ready to really dig into this Collision because

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.000
this was a decent show. It
wasn't over the top, but they had

8
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.000
some really great highlights and there was
a couple of things that were kind of

9
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.679
some stuff that I think we need
to dig in. They left a little

10
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.880
bit on the table, so to
speak, when it comes to dinner.

11
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:43.240
So let's let's let's really dig right
into something that I want to talk about.

12
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:48.560
Do you feel that, with not
only the win and that amazing intro

13
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.679
that they gave Ricky Starks, that
he's finally been elevated the way he was

14
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:56.159
supposed to be when he worked with
Jericho. Absolutely yes. And we talked

15
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.679
about this on the first Collision episode
about how this going to be a nice

16
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.359
platform for those guys not getting the
time to this showcase, and Ricky Starts

17
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.920
was the guy at the top of
that list. They needed more TV time.

18
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.840
We knew he had the in ring
skills, we knew he had the

19
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.239
mic skills, but he needed the
TV time. And that's what he's getting

20
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.879
the one hard tournament when proves that
it doesn't matter how we won it,

21
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.079
We're gonna get to his words on
that and how he felt about that,

22
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.599
which I really liked what he said
this evening. Another part of what I

23
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.280
liked is just the way they opened
the show of the Acclaim, Rookie Starts,

24
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.159
Bullet Club, Short and Sweet.
All promos on one line were sentences.

25
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.719
Everybody had one line, and you
know, you knew the logs with

26
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:42.920
the guys that was going to be
featured on the show. So I really

27
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.560
liked the way they're opening this show. That was a great cold open.

28
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.359
I have to agree with you,
and I think that one thing Collision is

29
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.959
going to stress his tag team action. Now. Of course, you've got

30
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.159
the trios everywhere, because that's the
thing that the VP's love. Trios,

31
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.719
trios, trios, I get it. They got it from Mexico and you

32
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.640
know six man tag actions also big
in New Japan. But the fact that

33
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.759
we actually have a US promotion that
celebrates tag team wrestling, real tag team

34
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.919
wrestling, not just putting together two
single stars and waiting to split them up

35
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.759
to see which one's going to sink
and which one's gonna swim. So I

36
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.639
like the fact that we're really paying
attention and giving the tag teams they're due

37
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.039
in this in this industry mail Yeah, so Rookie starts coming out too with

38
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.080
the extra piro this week. I
know it's because of the way the tournament

39
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.280
win. I really enjoyed the piro. The entrance has always been a big

40
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.479
deal for me, especially when I
know when you're rating the match, you

41
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.319
know based on the stars of the
match, it's based on the storyline and

42
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.639
the any ring. Honestly, for
me, I've said this before. I

43
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.159
think on the mailbag, I give
the entrance at least half a star.

44
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.000
If it's the championship match, your
champion comes out second, challenger comes out

45
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.199
first. Everybody I want to hit
the queues or what the camera angles right,

46
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:00.960
what the pirro time? Like,
I'm very nipicky when it comes to

47
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:07.199
the insurance. So this insurance was
was soldest to me, but getting right

48
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.520
into it, gets in the ring. Tony Hivanni like the first question out

49
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.759
the gate, he puts him on
the spot and asked him about the hand

50
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.280
on the rope for the win in
the tournament. What do you think about

51
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.960
that? Well? I liked it. It's a great way to start off

52
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.000
the show. It's a great way
to just go right into Okay, you

53
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.039
want it, but it was kind
of crooked. It's setting up some kind

54
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.039
of tension that we need right now. Let's let's start off with a story

55
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.560
instead of well, congratulations you won. What exactly are you going to do?

56
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.759
What are your plans for the future? All that blah blah blah blah

57
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.759
blah stuff that we're kind of passed
at this point in pro wrestling, So

58
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.360
let's address the elephant in the room. I like that. That's where Chivanni

59
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.319
needs to view with these interviews.
And I mean, obviously it was probably

60
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.560
co written by him and for him, but it's a great way to start

61
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.840
it off, like, let's just
get into it. You wanted in controversial

62
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.000
fashion, what do you have to
say about yourself? Well to talk about

63
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.719
what he did have to say,
and I really really like what he has

64
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.719
to say. First thing, he
says that he got the job done the

65
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.840
only way he knows how to,
and that's by any means necessary. It's

66
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.400
not a great energy, and he
comes out to say. Next he goes,

67
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.919
don't talk to me, don't talk
to me about what's right and wrong,

68
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.560
talk to me about how sexy I
am. So energy, and then

69
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.240
he comes with that that you know
that liner at the end, and then

70
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:30.120
oddly enough, Sandpoint comes out with
no music. I like that. I

71
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.800
really like that. It added more
surprise factor, even though it wasn't a

72
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.519
surprised because you start to hear the
crowd go crazy and you look at him,

73
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.120
but it shows more of it's determined. Even though he took his time

74
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.240
getting to the ring, it shows
more determined, like don't need to bother

75
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.439
with the music kind of attitude of
his. So I really like that,

76
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.959
and I thought it was different,
let's not pop the crowd with the music

77
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.399
right away because we're going to play
the music later on in the night.

78
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.079
Maybe they're onto a formula here and
that could work and be a little bit

79
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.920
more symbiotic with wrestler's appearances. I
mean, it's kind of strange that every

80
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.720
time a wrestler surprises you by coming
back, their music plays. Now we

81
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.199
don't have to have that yet,
Casualty of War saying, oh, well,

82
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.439
we knew he was going to be
back the whole time. That's why

83
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.040
his tape was in the recorder ready
to go. You know what I can

84
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.920
see that. Um, I think
maybe for me, if he were going

85
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.319
to come out to know with no
music, maybe he should have come out

86
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.319
and talking on the mic right away. But the walk to the ring,

87
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.720
you know, says the anticipation,
So I can definitely see your side.

88
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.920
But the guys go back to back
and forth in the ring for a bit

89
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.439
and then uh, you know,
little jabs on the mic, and then

90
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.519
uh start mentions a little red bag
that Punk route a couple of weeks ago.

91
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.279
And what I really like is Punk
as him if he wants a shot

92
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.240
at what's in the bag. And
then cut back to the intrance that we

93
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.040
got Christian and Lujasaurus. So what
you think about their exchange and their ring

94
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.759
and then Christian and Luca coming out, Well, first of all, you

95
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.480
know, it's never really been us
what's in the bag, But you're supposed

96
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.279
to you're supposed to be led to
believe that it's it's the original aw World

97
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:11.800
Championship and they just created a new
belt for the next successor when he got

98
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.639
suspended, so that I think that's
that's what it is. It's kind of

99
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.199
like the whole Punk versus Sina,
who really had the championship, you know,

100
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.920
raising the belt's face to face,
so it's it's a nod and homage

101
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.240
to that. What I also liked
is that Ricky Stark springs out his Louis

102
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.839
the Toon bag and that was perfect. Okay, but here's my thing.

103
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.079
And I love the fact he's like, you want to know what's in my

104
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.079
bag? And the first thing that
that went through my mind is, do

105
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.199
you remember when Shane McMahon came out
about six years ago and he had the

106
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.279
box that could ruin Vince McMahon.
I would have loved it if Rickie Stark

107
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.439
said, it's the answer to what
Shane had. That's the thing that popped

108
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.480
into my head. I know it's
corny, folks, but honestly, I

109
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:59.360
really love the exchange, and I
really do like what they're doing with the

110
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.839
two and the fact that Punk's polarity
goes from baby face to heal he inserts

111
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.360
New Jersey Devils. I think that's
funny because obviously he's a Blackhawks fan.

112
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.800
I'm a diehard Rangers fan. But
it's it's like he's still a face,

113
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.519
but he's like Yester or your team
because they're they're getting on his back.

114
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.120
It's a way to re establish himself
with heel tactics as still a baby face.

115
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.920
But I've got a question for you
before we get to going to the

116
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.560
ramp. What exactly does this Owen
Heart belt mean to you? So we

117
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.879
talked at a little bit about this
last week, was mad and Martin Man.

118
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.439
Basically we kind of agreed that it's
pretty much long lines of Ken of

119
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:46.319
the Ring accomplishment, not participation in
trophy. But this is supposed to be

120
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.800
your next guy who's gonna be in
the title picture, the world title picture.

121
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.759
But he's not quite there yet.
But he's past the mid card,

122
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.560
but he's not a championship tier yet. So he's like right there. So

123
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.439
if they treat this the way that
the King of the Rings should be treated,

124
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.439
the way there's a old Heart tournament
should be treated, the way I

125
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.879
wanted to be treated, is that
Ricky you know, he was showcased.

126
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.879
He wins a tournament, he has
the belt as a trophy for now.

127
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:24.199
I would like him to continue on
a wooden street by hooker cook and charge

128
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.600
for the title. That's what it's
supposed to mean. It's supposed to mean

129
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.440
that I mean king of the ring
or best best in the ring and at

130
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.200
the moment upcoming star the rise.
That's pretty much how I feel about it.

131
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.159
I would like it is if it's
like a trophy, like you say,

132
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.519
like I like the cup, but
you can't lug a cup around,

133
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.159
so it's a belt. He never
has to defend. It's just he's the

134
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.399
the inaugural so he holds it and
then whoever wins next year gets a new

135
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.960
belt. So it's always evolving design
in the name of Owen Hart and basically

136
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.039
it's just yours to say that you
won it that year. So it's kind

137
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.639
of like the King of the Ring
like you're saying, but you don't have

138
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.519
to defend it. So now somebody
else is the Owen Heart Champion because you

139
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.240
have that's too many belts, now, that's way too many belts. Yeah,

140
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.120
but I definitely shouldn't be a title
that's acknowledged or recognized by any means

141
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.559
like that. So yeah, we
agree there, awesome, So let's get

142
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.720
to the top of the ramp,
taking away Boss. I just love Christian,

143
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.159
just I love heal Christian. He
comes out, it puts down the

144
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.120
city and it's hear to my eye
laughing when he said the punk what kind

145
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:43.320
of man walks around with the title
he didn't win? Yes, just im

146
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.639
just laughing so hard. Punk was
laughing so hard in the ring. I

147
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.320
think I think I played that back
a few times. Um, that's that's

148
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.360
just hilarious. I noted that myself. I noted in myself. Yeah,

149
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.639
because obviously they're alluding to the fact
that in the Red Bag is going to

150
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:05.360
be his original you know championships,
So um, that's that's just Christians basically

151
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.120
calling it out and solving the you
know, the pieces that are putting the

152
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.120
pieces of the puzzle together for everybody
in the audience. But it's just the

153
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.480
tongue in cheek because he said it
so serious. Yeah, it's and that's

154
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.320
what they had to pan away from
Punk in the ring because he was dying

155
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.720
laughing as we were dying laughing at
home. So it was it was well

156
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:30.200
worth the comment uh, just as
Christians. I guess he's just doing some

157
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:35.840
crew work now and the role that
he's in, and just I can't praise

158
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.360
a guy more than anything. I
just I love Hill Christian, I always

159
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.679
have. But shortly after Darby comes
out, snatches the mic from Christian,

160
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.480
they goes in the ring, talks
a bit, puts down Luksuris, and

161
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.159
then you know what do you think
was gonna have a tag matches set up

162
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.080
for the main events? So all
this took about about fifteen minutes I think

163
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:00.279
from open to until the end of
Derby talking, and so the opening was

164
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.840
a fifteen minute problem basically. So
overall, how'd you feel about everything?

165
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.559
With all the moving parts? All
the moving parts are good, except there's

166
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.919
a couple of snaffoos. First of
all, the TNT Belt, from what

167
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.480
I can understand, is supposed to
be like a TV title, which means

168
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.759
if the wrestlers on TV and not
in a tag team match, they should

169
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.639
defend it. However, the real
champions Lucasaurus. I really thought that Lucasaurus

170
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.480
was going to be in this match. Maybe he's nursing an injury, or

171
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.679
maybe they're really trying to build the
Christian cage tension with him, So either

172
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.919
way it works for me. It's
just I want them to define the stipulations

173
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.080
of that belt because I do believe
that it's supposed to be a not a

174
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.320
US title or an intercontinal which is
once a month defense but every time you're

175
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.919
on television or wouldn't be named after
a television network, come on. So

176
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.519
that's the only staff who I had
with it. But it was a great

177
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.480
setup. We kind of knew it
was going to happen. I was just

178
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:54.759
really surprised that it was Christian Cage
and not Lucasaurus. Agree, and I

179
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.000
have a few more points about this
duo or these tag team, but we'll

180
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.279
get to those questions and thoughts when
we talk about the main event. So

181
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.679
let's move on next next week,
get a pre tape of Andronni getting it

182
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.000
sported out of the arena. You're
in the day. Obviously this is tying

183
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.480
into the storyline with the House of
Black. Any thoughts on that. That's

184
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.519
I mean, it's it's just to
build tension for next week. Give the

185
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.480
guy a week off, you know, go spend some time with Charlotte,

186
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.519
which is okay, we can we
can deal with that we can deal with

187
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.080
him not being on there for a
week because they probably taped it last week,

188
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.960
and I'm fine with it. Really, I am to further storyline.

189
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.360
That's great because honestly, during House
of Black tonight, I really didn't want

190
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.080
to run in. I didn't want
any kind of interference. I just wanted

191
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.320
to enjoy a really great match.
And when we get there, we'll say

192
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.080
that I think that we enjoyed a
really great match tonight. And so to

193
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.279
take him out of the equation for
an evening, to have an excuse to

194
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.240
take him out of the equation for
the evening, to build tension and give

195
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.600
the guy a little bit of time
off to go see his wife, I'm

196
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.840
fine with it. And it's supposed
to build him as a one man wrecking

197
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.039
crew also, so you know,
if you're gonna believe that this guy can

198
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.320
take out Brodie King, who's one
hundred pounds heavier than him and probably a

199
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.559
lot stronger, um Alistair Black who's
the Dutches, Malachi Black, who's the

200
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.120
Dutches destroyer, Buddy Matthews, who's
just phenomenal. You know, if you're

201
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.039
if you're gonna be one man taking
on those three we have to have reasons

202
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.600
that, yes, you have to
be escorted off, you're too dangerous.

203
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:30.799
You know, give us those give
us those little little bits of anticipation so

204
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.360
that when we get the payoff it's
more believable. Yes, I believe you

205
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:43.519
agree and make it believable. Good
setup. And if Andredes and the Owen

206
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.799
Heart Tournament next year, then he'd
be my pick. I think he's been

207
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.840
and teena long enough. M paid
his due, so to speak, and

208
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.240
I think he should at least,
you know, get that we'll call consolation

209
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.559
prize. But yes, moving forward, Tag Team Action. Actually Andrew Day

210
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:11.799
and Darwis Martin, Ursus j Y
and Juice. Robin was said, did

211
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.639
you take this first? Juice Robinson
was amazing? How did WWE developmental miss

212
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.360
the boat on this guy? Did
you ever see his character in XT?

213
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.799
I feel like maybe once, because
when I saw him pop up on a

214
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.559
W I was like, this guy
looks familiar. Where have I seen him?

215
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.879
But I didn't do any worship research
on him. So I mean,

216
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.240
the guy lives in an alternate lifestyle. Okay, he's like, he's kind

217
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.000
of like a hippish. That's why
he's Juice Robinson. Okay, and uh,

218
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.360
it's like c. J. Park
or something like that. It was

219
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.679
his name. It's been so long, and he came out like as a

220
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.919
hippie, like seriously as a hippie
with like a sign that's like says hug

221
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.120
Trees or something. It was god
awful that he had the dreads in his

222
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.840
hair. And this guy is wrestling
at the top of this game. I

223
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.600
mean he went he had to go
to New Japan to reinvent his character,

224
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.559
but he hepped it with the roots
of who he really is, which is

225
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.200
like a new age badass hippie.
He's a hippie. You don't want to

226
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.960
fight in the streets. That's why
his tights look the way they do.

227
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.320
That's why his hair's all dreaded.
But his hair as it grows out,

228
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.559
he's starting to look like a miniature
bruiser. Brodie, have you noticed that.

229
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.200
I noticed that with some of them
Moosey did with the sanson, the

230
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:26.639
standing sanson and then the standing um
crossbody splash his Brodie. Yeah, it's

231
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.279
the way he lands with his elbows
and knees just flat along the opponent's landing

232
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.240
on the ground on the back,
and then he just drops with the belly

233
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:41.320
flat essentially. But yeah, the
hair, it looked like like Brodie said,

234
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:43.600
yeah, bruiser Brodie. Yeah,
Let's let's not think Brodie King.

235
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.559
Okay. Um, So J J. White, I've always known his amazing

236
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:54.080
I followed him since he was a
fledgling Ring of honor New Japan took over

237
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.919
his leader, Bullet Club. Um. One of the greatest things was that

238
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.200
d kick into the German suplex.
That was just brilliant. I love that

239
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.919
spot in the match. That was
awesome. These four really lifted up.

240
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.759
Now. I still see Top Flight
as kind of green, not green,

241
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:18.519
but still kind of indie too flippy
too. They definitely need to be carried

242
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.759
by a good dance partner. There
was no better dance partner than Juice and

243
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.919
Jay Wine. I mean the finish
to the match, multiple finishes, just

244
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.840
matation point on it. I could
deal with that, even though they didn't

245
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.559
have to. It's just to put
it over that we don't care and not

246
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.960
only were going to beat you,
we're going to destroy you. Of course,

247
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:42.679
the other intangibles to this match is
I just I think top Flight is

248
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:48.720
going to be They're about two years
away from really being a season team.

249
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.200
They got to get away from the
indie, the flippy the I mean,

250
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.240
look at Andretti, Like, wasn't
he supposed to be something big after he

251
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.519
beat Jericho. Now he's relegated to
this tag team, which is really weird.

252
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.759
He should have started to begin with. Um. The other thing is,

253
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.640
you know with the Gun Boys there, of course their last name is

254
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.480
gun Bullet Club. Hello, who
didn't see that one coming? Uh?

255
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.519
I just think that right now the
whole idea of the Bullet Club should be

256
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.480
left in Japan and Juice Robinson and
Jay White should become their own entity here

257
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.799
because that whole thing is not working
in America anymore. It was it was

258
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.200
novel when it happened, but it's
now jumped the shark in its past as

259
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.400
prime. But aside from that solid
match, a couple of small botches,

260
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.960
mostly on the on the sides of
well really only on the sides of top

261
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.880
flight. But aside from that,
it was it was we were pampered too

262
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.880
much with last week's match with with
Thin and Juice or excuse me with with

263
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.599
Jay and Yeah, so it was
it was to be pampered like that and

264
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.720
expect that same amount of action this
week. It's not fair to put it

265
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.480
on top flight like that, So
that's what really caused the disappointment. But

266
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.079
still a solid match, so I
actually didn't see it as a disappointment.

267
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.039
I know we were Yeah, we
were spoiled a bit with the match from

268
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.359
last week. Bullet Club takes a
loss, but they look phenomenal and the

269
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.160
loss, they come back with the
bounce back when this week, uh you

270
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.039
know with top flight, yeah they
are. They are still a green team.

271
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.519
So this is the perfect team for
bullet Club to get that. The

272
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.400
rebound went on something that I hadn't
seen before. I think action ANDRADI did

273
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.839
it. It was a springboard tornado
crossbody off the top rope onto I think

274
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.640
we leave. J White, I
hadn't seen this before, so that was

275
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.599
very That was very cool to see
a lot of good fast paced action to

276
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.960
start um start to match, bullet
Club takes over. They divide and conquer

277
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.200
and then uh during the during the
break, uh commercial break, bullet Club

278
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.039
maintains their advantage. H J.
White, I mean just juice. They're

279
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:55.119
just they're great, great heels,
They pose, they talked trash um.

280
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:59.839
You know that they get the crowd
of wild up. They're just these guys,

281
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:06.039
Um, do you well before I
go on, do you think there's

282
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:11.079
going to be an FTR versus B
the Club third match? Is there a

283
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.240
rubber match or did FTR I have
two wins over them. I honestly think

284
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.759
that there's got to be at least
one more. Their paths are not done

285
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.279
crossing. It's it's just it's in
the infancy of of collision. It's in

286
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:29.160
the infancy of h Jay White and
Juice being in in aw to begin with,

287
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.160
and the fact that they've got one
of the best tag team I mean,

288
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.319
it's a better tag team division than
WWE has by far. So to

289
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.079
see these guys rotate back in eventually, I'm fine with it. To see

290
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:44.440
uh, Juice and Jay split up
and go their own separate, separate ways.

291
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.960
I'm fine with two because they are
actually singles wrestlers. They just have

292
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:53.720
such incredible chemistry and such such um
split styles. It's it's we've got a

293
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:59.960
young bruiser, brody type who can
do some athleticism versus um, Jay White,

294
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.440
you could do you know a lot
of scientific and I mean he's very

295
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.799
much scientific with small elements of brawling. I love it. I love the

296
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.480
way they match, it's great.
But if they split them up, I'm

297
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.839
fine. However, they are going
to wrestle at FTR at least two or

298
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.200
three more times in the next couple
of years, and I'm all for it.

299
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.319
Well, I think the point of
the two out of three falls match

300
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.599
was to establish these guys as a
tag team. So now we know they

301
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.640
can hang with the best. They
can literally hang in the rim with the

302
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.640
best, and they can go to
distance. Like I said, this was

303
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.400
their their rebound match, just to
get back on the winning ways. He

304
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.319
showcase them again on Saturday Night.
But you know, halfway through the match,

305
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:42.200
Warin gets the hart it's the hot
tag and lead it some offense fans

306
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:48.200
based action picks up again. But
the tables returned and Dreda Martin that shotgun

307
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.559
Droppe that you were talking about.
That Oh my gosh, that was awesome.

308
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.519
That yeah, very very cool.
So I'll tell you who it reminds

309
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:59.160
me off if I could side bar
real quick. There was a tag team

310
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.759
in the Away a long time ago. I believe it was called Bad Company,

311
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:07.079
was Pat Tanaka and Paul Diamond.
They ended up coming to UH separately

312
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.279
at two different times in we UM
and they put Paul Diamond under a mask

313
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.680
because he was perennially an under guy, and they renamed him the Orient Express.

314
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.279
And they used to use a Butterfly
suplex, which is a variation of

315
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.839
the German and uh where some people
call it the dragon suplex. It depends,

316
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.039
actually, I think at whatever the
point is, I think it was

317
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.240
a butterfly. Pat Tanaka would lock
him in a butterfly soup plex and Cato,

318
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:30.480
which was Paul Diamond, would give
him a super kick to the chin

319
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.599
and then they bridge over into the
pin. So that's what that reminded me

320
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:40.039
of. But the intensity of that
shotgun drop kick into that was great.

321
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:47.440
Yeah, I love the stuff um, Like you had mentioned earlier, at

322
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:51.119
the end, they just they put
that information point on Juice Robinson hits that

323
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.519
uh that DDT that modified d and
I forget what he named it, and

324
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:03.039
then just with another cherry onto h
j Y hits the blade Runner one two

325
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.720
three. The only Creatida have by
this match is that when j Y hit

326
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:11.799
that Blade Runner, the camera panned
away from the impact. I know they

327
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:17.799
they show it on the replay,
but somebody loved up in the back that's

328
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.799
that's that. That's that patented.
Aw we must have borrowed it from TNA

329
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:26.079
production there. Okay, so but
all right, little let's keep it moving.

330
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:33.359
Uh. Next we have an FTR
montage of title victories and my points

331
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.640
you know, on their career.
Um, not letting us forget who they

332
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.960
are. But how could we have
to last weeks match? But they were

333
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.440
on the show tonight. But you
know, just here's a little package,

334
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.160
just gets the backstage things set up
with guys and Gurul and whatnot. Um.

335
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:56.240
And then we have mirror belief.
That's the mirror squash match. You

336
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:57.680
know, it wasn't really squash.
Here's my thing with it. First of

337
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:02.839
all, for me to be such
a decimator, the redeemer people are behind

338
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:04.480
him. Now here's my thing about
Miro. When he was russof he was

339
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.000
got awful, he was a kick
punch, put him in the camel clutch,

340
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.440
a body slam, and we're supposed
to be amazed. No, really,

341
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:18.599
that's just trash wrestling. That's that's
Vince McMahon's you know, slow I'm

342
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.599
a huge brick kind of thing.
It's garbage. And as Miro, he's

343
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.920
loosened up he's learned how to chain
wrestle a little bit. I enjoyed more

344
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.279
of his matches. Whoever, this
Nick Colorado was that his name? Some

345
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:34.039
of that dead He's from the q
T Marshals faction. I could never remember

346
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.839
his name, but yeah, it
was like the part of the monster Factory

347
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.799
or whatever. But yeah, he's
basically been a job or you know,

348
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.440
for a few years now. He's
a big boy. I like the fact.

349
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.440
First of all, let let me
get to Mirror's entry. For this

350
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.680
guy to be such a badass,
why does he have the lamest little pyro

351
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.160
and just look goofy up there screaming. You talk about intros. That's a

352
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:02.839
negative star to me. But then
going forward, so this this nick guy

353
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.000
attacks him from the back. Okay, show some gumption. Obviously he went

354
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.480
to you know, the University of
Colorado because he had those colors and his

355
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.000
last name was Colorado. I tend
to be kind of a smart guy here,

356
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.960
all right. You know it's basically
he's you know, he's beaten Miro

357
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.839
pillar to post until they get down
to the ring, and then Mirror turns

358
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.480
the tables and then they get in
the ring, and did you see how

359
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:30.839
sloppy. That Fireman's breaker was that
he almost dropped Mirro completely backwards. Yeah,

360
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.920
I did, And that's why I
said, this guy's while he's the

361
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.079
job. Yeah, he's got the
size, he's got a kind of unique

362
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.839
look, being as harry as he
is. But yeah, I don't know

363
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.519
if he was just excited or I'm
just trying to remember what to do next,

364
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:51.680
but it was it was sloppy.
I percent agree. And the thing

365
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:53.319
is, I think it was one
of those deals where mirrors like, Okay,

366
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.519
let's get this over quick. So
we wrestled like Russov kick punch,

367
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.640
body slam, kick accolade. That's
a you know. So it was as

368
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.599
forgettable as you know. We blinked
and maybe I wiped my mouth off and

369
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.920
eat my sandwich and all of a
sudden it was over right. So I

370
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:17.160
had an interesting thought when Miro flexed
after the win. Okay, I think

371
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.400
it was this past um, this
past current state with Matt and Anthony.

372
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.079
They were talking about who's going to
be the guy to take the belts off

373
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.680
of Roman, Who's the guy?
Who's the guy? Whenever it's do we

374
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.680
even have the guy on the roster? Now? While I'm watching a deep

375
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.680
When I saw Rooster, I'm like, this guy looks believable to be Roman.

376
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.559
That was my thought. This guy
looks believable to be Roman. He

377
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:47.480
looks as fast, as strong as
believable. He doesn't have two credentials,

378
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:53.039
but he's got so I was starting
to think if there was like a fantasy

379
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.079
booking world, who could reach at
least, you know, besides Cody,

380
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.079
who else could at least return,
if not to be Roman, but because

381
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:06.079
at least return to challenge Roman.
If he keeps the belt for another year,

382
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:07.799
two or three year, who knows
how far they're gonna go be done

383
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.039
this run. But that was my
thought, like I know you, you

384
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:18.559
know you're not with the Rouster character. I get the punch, kickslam,

385
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:23.839
body slam formula of wrestling. But
before the debacle with feeding him to John

386
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:29.279
Cena, I was on the Ruster
train. After that it was downhill with

387
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.200
the loss of Sena. But Miro, the name is, the way he's

388
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.240
been presented in a makes makes me
believe in any ways that if built the

389
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.160
right way, he could at least
be a very believable challenger to Roman.

390
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.960
If you were ever to jump backship, I don't. I think there's a

391
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.640
personal issues there why he wouldn't,
and I don't know the details of them,

392
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.599
but he just looked believable to me. So I guess the question is,

393
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:57.720
can you see what I see or
do you see anybody else who would

394
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:03.440
at least present a challenge a woman, just a big name, big name

395
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.680
signed from AW to jump Shot.
I think if they didn't screw it up

396
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.440
Powerhouse Hobbs, do you just have
to build him now? You can't screw

397
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.480
him up. But I mean he
was never there before. However, I

398
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.000
think he actually was in developmental and
they cut him loose, so technically it

399
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.599
would be a return. But the
momentum he's building, the story that you

400
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.720
could have behind him, the terrible
youth, everything else. Powerhouse Hobbs,

401
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.279
he's got the look. He's he's
about a year and a half. He's

402
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.640
ahead of his curve because he's basically
learning and cutting his chops every day and

403
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.279
he gets better and better and better. And the guy looks his role.

404
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.400
So yeah, Powerhouse Hobbs. And
people are gonna disagree with me. Look,

405
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.079
I can pick a star. I
knew the second Ryback came out,

406
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.400
he wasn't going to be anything.
I knew the second Russo came out he

407
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.039
was going to be nothing but sena
fodder. I can predict this stuff.

408
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.799
I'm really good at it. I
don't want to blow my own horn,

409
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:57.079
but dude, So with that being
said, powerhouse Hobbs, I could see.

410
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.240
I mean, if Punk ever went
at he's passed his prime. But

411
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:04.799
you can believe it because you see
him Punk, John Moxley, John Moxley,

412
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.240
if he doesn't bleed all the one
right, that's the one you and

413
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:12.319
of course m JF even though because
he was there as as a security guard

414
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:18.200
once for samo Joe or samo Joe, that's basically it. At this point.

415
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.839
John Moxley would be the of course, the one with the story or

416
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:32.720
what he built in so you hear
you know that guitar strum from his music

417
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.480
as a return and you know why
he's there right exactly. But that's just

418
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.640
a fantasy stuff. We don't know
wherever you get that, I believe earlier.

419
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.240
I think this year he just extended
his contract for three years. I

420
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.160
believe. I have to fact check
that, but I think he just resigned

421
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.720
for three plus years. Hey,
as long as he can get as long

422
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.400
as he can get paid to bleed
piece. Fine, but let's not straight

423
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.480
from our topic too much. All
right, Yeah, because that happens,

424
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.119
right, Yes, Julio title match
a claim and Daddy has versus House of

425
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:08.279
Black. You know what you'd take
this one. Let's talk it to you.

426
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.640
First of all, both these teams
have a lot of talent, and

427
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:22.559
I basically hands down House of Blacks
way more talent. Okay, people don't

428
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.119
know what Brody King can do,
but I can do because I followed him

429
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.160
when he was in Ring of Honor
back in twenty eighteen. Okay, so

430
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:32.359
I know what he's capable of,
and he's actually dialing back what he's capable

431
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:38.960
of. Buddy Matthews is arguably the
most talented person they have on that roster

432
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.079
as far as what he can do
in the ring might not be able to

433
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.160
cut a promo and have a liquor
charisma, but that can grow on him

434
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:51.079
if he just works with people.
As far as as Malachi slash Alister Black

435
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.319
slash Tommy End whatever you want to
call him from his past or present,

436
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.200
he's got everything. He's got a
complete, total package. In fact,

437
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:00.960
he's another one who could go after
Roman if build him up right. So

438
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:07.000
the beginning of that match, Max
Caster had it coming. Was that kick

439
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.359
amazing? Was that kick amazing?
Was it a kick or a knee?

440
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:14.799
I thought it was a knee.
It could have been either. I it

441
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.559
was just so amazing. I blinked
and I was like, what the hell

442
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:22.880
just happened? That was great the
dominance by House of Black the match all

443
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.640
the way around. Of course,
you had Julie Gross on the I mean

444
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.200
Julie Hard on the outside and doing
your thing. I love the presentation of

445
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.000
the mask in the beginning. By
the way, I don't want to take

446
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.240
away from that because you're still building
another story, but you had a sub

447
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.960
story in the ring tonight. That's
what AW is doing really well, is

448
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.519
that we've got a story with Andrade, but we also have a sub story

449
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.640
of the way that the match finished
tonight. And that was the best part

450
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:53.559
is the fact that the chemistry between
everything House of Black did was amazing.

451
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:59.240
Of course, they claimed work well
as far as as far as being a

452
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.319
tag team, but they don't have
the chemistry in the years under their belt

453
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:04.680
that all the wrestlers that are in
the House of Black do. I mean

454
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.079
Matthews has been in the industry a
lot longer than what people think, just

455
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:15.200
with his NXT tenure. Of course, I mean Alister, you know Malchai.

456
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.319
Alister Black was Tommy end for ten
years before he ever signed, and

457
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.599
Brodie King's been around for at least
seven or eight years. So these guys

458
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:27.079
gel they belong together. They are
so amazing and it's like a new version

459
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.519
of the Brood, except you don't
know who the leader is. We know

460
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.160
that Black is supposed to be the
leader, but any one of them could

461
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:37.119
take that role, so it's really
awesome. The things that that got me

462
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.119
is I love the fact that Nigel
was it Nigel or Ian Ricabani who Ian

463
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.079
Ricabani is a great commentator, by
the way, he's the old Ring of

464
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.240
Honor commentator. He's just as good
as Jr. Just younger. He just

465
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.039
doesn't have that southern flair, that
little come get you but you listen to

466
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.480
him and he's fluid, so I
love it. You could tell that Billy

467
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.480
looked tired in this, and he
took the beating on purpose and at the

468
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:06.200
end surprised me. When you know
the you know, the the Dutch Destroyer

469
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.880
takes him down. But then you
saw that moment and they even I didn't

470
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:12.920
know why, they acknowledged it on
camera. They said, what did he

471
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.480
say to him? And I believe
that this retirement was the real retirement in

472
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.240
the ring. I don't think it's
a storyline, or he wouldn't he wouldn't

473
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:22.400
have whispered in his ear like that. The commentators just didn't have to call

474
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.400
it out, you know. That's
that was the thing. And then when

475
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:28.359
he took off his boots and left
it there in the ring, I was

476
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:30.960
like, we're watching a bit of
history. Sure, this isn't you know,

477
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:34.880
Stone Colt's first title reign or anything, but we're watching history. We're

478
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.880
watching a man who's been in the
industry for thirty years retire and leave his

479
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.119
boots in the middle of the ring. This is on Mark Henry's fake speech,

480
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:45.759
so um, it's fake retirement speech. Yeah. That that touched me.

481
00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:50.440
I noticed that. I was like, where where's they claim? And

482
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:54.319
why? Why? Why is that
he has taken off all the punishment and

483
00:32:54.359 --> 00:33:00.839
then boom blink and then the kid
once two three, and then he embraced

484
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:02.279
them. I was like, whispered, I thought, sam thing I was

485
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:06.680
there we about to see him,
but I honestly had to dog, are

486
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:10.440
we want to see him retire?
And sure enough? Um, well,

487
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.200
I want to say obviously, but
we can assume he was thanking him for

488
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.519
his time in the ring and thank
you for you know, basically letting me

489
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.400
be the last guy to depaying you
on your way out. Um but do

490
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.279
you think we'll get an exclamation from
him or do you think he'll just go

491
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.880
off TV? And I think that
they might do one follow up interview and

492
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:32.960
he'll just say, hey, it
was time he realized that he lost a

493
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.440
step. He's getting a little bit
older. I think I think it's been

494
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:40.960
I don't want to say a long
time coming. But this way the gun

495
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.960
Boys can be their own entity for
a change. There's no more scissor Me

496
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.880
daddy. So the Acclaim we'll have
to obviously reinvent themselves, but they're good

497
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:54.559
at doing that, so I think
that the Acclaim will be fine without him.

498
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.279
In fact, what fun is the
acclaim finding a new coach or a

499
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.920
new manager to you know, kind
of be their mentor so to speak.

500
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.079
So I really like where this went
as far as it. I do believe

501
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:13.199
that this is a real retirement,
and I know for a fact that I've

502
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:16.360
seen it many times where you remember
when the Undertaker retired, they had his

503
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:21.800
boots in the ring with his hat. When Kurt Hennick died, mister Perfect

504
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.440
for all of you, he was
wrestling in TNA. They went to a

505
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:25.559
commercial break, they come back,
his boots are in the middle of the

506
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:29.400
ring when he passed away. They
do that a lot for wrestlers, so

507
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.599
this was a very tasteful way to
do it, and especially with Black being

508
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.400
the one to whisper in his ear, you know, for them to recognize

509
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.920
it on air, that makes it
even more realistic. I really think this

510
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.239
is real. I just wish they
wouldn't have acknowledged the whisper. And the

511
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:46.079
last thing I want to say about
it is you've got to realize that Billy

512
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:52.760
Gunn picked Malachi Black to retire him. That's pretty honorable. That's a lot

513
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.320
of honor right there. You should
feel really good about that. Yeah,

514
00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:00.719
I'm sure it does. And that's
what the embrace was about. You mentioned

515
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:01.920
them about the boots in the ring, so I just two years ago with

516
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:07.280
Triple Him was a mania. Had
you ever seen a wrestler take off his

517
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:12.159
boots after the match, like Bill
he did today, And as I signed

518
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:15.079
up their retirement, I knew it. I knew he was retiring when he

519
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:21.039
started taking him off, because it
made sense somebody. No, No,

520
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.440
I've never seen anybody stripped the boots
right there in the ring. That's the

521
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.159
only thing that that got me a
little bit speculative of it. But I

522
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.039
really think it's legitimate. You don't. You don't whisper in someone's ear after

523
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:35.119
you just whooped them, you know, and you've got like this great storyline

524
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.239
going and all of a sudden,
you know, you don't whisper thank you

525
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.440
to him? And like I said, it's a commentary box to be like,

526
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:44.079
what's he saying to him? So
I wish that's the only thing I

527
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:46.199
wish that they wouldn't recognize. But
aside from that, I've never seen anybody

528
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:51.119
do that. So that's pretty cool. All right, whoa, whoa,

529
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:54.159
Um, we'll do you see how
this unfolds it. There's anything and left

530
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:59.280
to it. So moving on.
Uh FDR comes out. We get the

531
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:06.320
promo. I know these are your
guys up about it. This was not

532
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:09.320
a good promo. They made their
point. It was not a good promo.

533
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:15.320
It was very choppy, it was
very um forced. It was I

534
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:16.440
think it was just, hey,
like, we got to put in our

535
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.760
minutes for tonight, and they're not
those kind of guys. But I just

536
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.920
think that the crowd was against them
for some reason and they just kind of

537
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:27.400
wanted to make their point and get
out of there. And it's it's not

538
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.039
their fault. I maybe they're just
worn and tired from everything that they've done

539
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:32.559
over the last week. But you
could tell that they were in street clothes.

540
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:37.079
They weren't there to wrestle, So
let's just cut this promo. Let's

541
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:38.519
get out of the ring. It
wasn't like them to cut a promo that

542
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:42.280
bad. Usually they're on fire and
they make a lot of good points and

543
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.000
they have a little bit of jabs
here and there. They're back, you

544
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.199
know, backwash politics and you know, a little insider stuff that only people

545
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:53.199
like you and I would catch.
But in this it was just I don't

546
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:57.320
know, I don't want to say
stammering through the promo, but it just

547
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.880
didn't fit right. Something was off. You know, that's that's the website.

548
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.679
Yeah, me too. I just
felt like they didn't want to be

549
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.519
there. They were tired from last
week. They probably wanted the night off

550
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:08.440
and they're like, no, we
need you on TV. UM somebody who

551
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:13.519
probably wrote these lines for them and
they maybe had to memorize them last minute

552
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:17.320
or just going through the motions.
Um. I was just in my head.

553
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:20.679
I was just like, I get
this guy's a break, Like they

554
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.239
have a tag Tile to match next
week. Keep them off camera, you

555
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:28.280
know the saying goes absence makes the
hard grow fonder. Give them a week

556
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:32.440
off. Yes, you know this, This could have been filmed last week

557
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.840
before their match in street close.
Then they have their match and then they

558
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.599
could have just been put up on
the big screen. Yeah, that would

559
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:44.039
have made more sense while you know, like going to break, like okay,

560
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:46.880
we've got this message from FTR in
the back, have Chivanni or whoever

561
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:51.320
back they're talking to them. They
would have a lot more life in them,

562
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:53.119
you know, before before a grueling
match like they had last week.

563
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:55.039
It's like you said, give them
a week off, man, the guys

564
00:37:55.039 --> 00:38:00.239
are tired, just pay up some
time with their families. So after that

565
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:05.880
we get a blood and guts highlights. Did you catch that match? No?

566
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:09.079
I did not. This dreaded thing
called work keeps rearing its ugly head.

567
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:14.320
But I saw those highlights and I
was like, guys, I love

568
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:16.920
stuff like war games because it was
brutal, But I don't need people being

569
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:22.039
body slammed onto a bed and nails
thumbtacks being rained from the tight That was

570
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:25.440
too much. There's a point where
I needed in wrestling. But when every

571
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:29.880
human being in the match is bleeding
and then the people who are obviously the

572
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.760
weaker team wins, I don't.
I don't see anybody in the lead,

573
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:35.519
minus Page, being able to fight
their way out of a wet paper box.

574
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:37.920
I mean, Kenny's a good performer, but he doesn't exactly scream mister

575
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:43.239
tough. I mean Moxley bleeds for
a living. I believe that Moxley could

576
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.679
punch through a pane of glass,
slice himself open, and keep going.

577
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:50.239
You know, it's it's not just
persona. Claudio, of course, is

578
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.519
one of the strongest guys out there. I don't believe that one of those

579
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.199
guys are gonna win to fistfight against
him, let alone, he could stretch

580
00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:00.159
um. Daniel Bryan's Daniel Bryan and
a lot of people give Wheeler Utah a

581
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:04.360
lot of flack for being a nobody. But the guy has proven himself.

582
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:07.199
I'd still take him over any one
of the bucks in a fist fight any

583
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:09.599
day. And yet those guys win. Please, just the silliness of it,

584
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:14.719
and it's not just who won and
lost, but the amount of bloodshed,

585
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.920
everybody bleeding, the amount of gimmicks, the amount of weapons, the

586
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:21.639
amount of silliness. That's just too
much. If you want blood and guts,

587
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.960
like, okay, throw like one
or two weapons inside of a steel

588
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:27.559
cage. I can deal with that. Give me war games. Throw.

589
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:30.719
My brother had a really good idea
for a match called a prison prison cell

590
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:37.360
match, where it's a double steel
steel cage. Okay, but every four

591
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:39.360
feet there's a window big enough for
so and stick their arm through, so

592
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:44.119
there's at least like one person with
a weapon. Like you're fighting inside a

593
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.960
prison and the prisoners can actually hit
you. That's kind of different. I

594
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:50.000
could deal with that, because you
have to be thrown into the ropes,

595
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:52.039
so you're trying to keep all the
action into the center of the ring as

596
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.519
much as possible so you don't get
whaxed. I would take something over that

597
00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.519
over this blood and guts. Every
weapon known to man? Why don't they

598
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:04.119
just bring out a loaded shotgun.
I mean, seriously, that was just

599
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.400
too much. That's my thought.
Well I think about it is that they're

600
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:10.320
making an annual thing instead of once
in a wild thing when it's called for.

601
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:15.239
So it's now it's gonna be what
we dreaded inw with the head of

602
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:20.079
the Cell. Eleminations of matches.
So yeah, from a year of the

603
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:25.199
year they're trying to I'll blood themselves
or I'll do themselves. And just I

604
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:29.320
did like the dumb tacks raining from
the top. I did not like the

605
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:34.440
better nails. I thought that was
way too much. But they're just going

606
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.360
all out for it. So anyways, the highlight reel there from last week's

607
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:43.599
match moves on into our female match
of the night. It's gonna feature Sky

608
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:49.400
Blue and Tayyer Valkyrie. Tyro's off
a loss from the Battle of Belts.

609
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.119
She had a title shot of get
Stormed last week, but she failed in

610
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:59.559
her attempt there. Mark had mentioned
Mark Marks so funny he had mentioned and

611
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.519
he's like, mister Morrison, don't
come at with me. But Tyra Bakery

612
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:06.719
is kind of a hot, hotter
version of ODB. What did you think

613
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.559
it's a rather well fed tie of
Valkyrie's. She's a great performer when she's

614
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:15.559
on. Here's what I got out
of this match. It was a snoozer

615
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:17.599
before the commercial break, and then
when it came after it came back after

616
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.760
the commercial break, it's like they
both suddenly remembered how to wrestle. They

617
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:24.519
had a couple of what I call
soft spots, like they bump into each

618
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:28.119
other and both raised their arm at
the same time. It's not necessarily a

619
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:30.440
botched just like, oh, were
you supposed to take a bump? Was

620
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:31.880
I supposed to? And then they
take like a soft bump off each other

621
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:36.519
and it's like, okay, that
does the snow favors. You just exposed

622
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.639
the business And it was just kind
of weird like that. Then they go

623
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:45.000
to commercial break. When they came
back, it's like it's almost like commercial

624
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:46.800
like the director was like, cut
you guys, suck start over again.

625
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:50.960
And when they came back, it
was a great match, great match.

626
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:54.400
Yeah, start off with backham tree
and they finished up kind of strong.

627
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.639
This is which is the rebound victory
for a Valkyrie. I'm not much else,

628
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.079
but I guess, yeah, this
is the story telling to what happened

629
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:12.000
after and that was the challenge to
my doctor DMPT. Yes, yes,

630
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:15.360
I love that woman there. Yeah, so she challenges to a match next

631
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:21.000
week. I'm a little lost on
the storyline here because I don't get to

632
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:25.159
watch Rampager Diamonde as much, so
I don't know what the backstory is here,

633
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:30.599
but I'm not sure to see it. I mean, I I honestly

634
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.320
think it'll be a really good match, um, because I think that Britt

635
00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:38.039
Baker operates on a much higher level
than sky Blue and nothing against sky Blue.

636
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:42.840
I honestly think that, um,
she did really well. Like I

637
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:45.519
said at the beginning of the match, was terrible, but she really held

638
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:50.199
herself um as the person going under
tonight, and she I think she looked

639
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:53.480
I don't want to say stronger defeat, but she looked stronger in defeat,

640
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:57.159
meaning that she has potential down the
road. It's just going to be a

641
00:42:57.199 --> 00:43:00.639
slow build for her, getting rid
of some those like little green steps like

642
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:04.199
the oh was it your bump or
my bump? Oh, let's have a

643
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:07.280
little weak spot here and there.
Give her, give her some time,

644
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.400
and I think that she's going to
be good, and I think tonight was

645
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.960
like a little bit of a test
to say, hey, you like,

646
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:16.119
should you be on TV or should
you be on like a darker platform or

647
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:20.039
should we ship you off the Ring
of Honor for a while and keep you

648
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:23.000
off like network TV until you're ready. So but it was, you know,

649
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:25.880
like I said, startouse as soon
as he ended up really strong.

650
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.440
And I love that slide to the
outside stuck on the rope's power bomb thing

651
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:32.559
that that Tyer does. That's a
great spot. She does it probably better

652
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:37.079
than any guy does it, to
be honest with you, So you know,

653
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:39.119
Tyer looked good tonight. She looked
good once they shook off the cobwebs.

654
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:44.840
YEP, I totally agree. So
we'll see what the match next week.

655
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.599
If they the closes out, I'm
sure there's gonna be two or three

656
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:51.159
part match there, so we might
get one of these matches on a division

657
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:54.679
in the future. So let's go
ahead and move on into the main event.

658
00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:00.719
Did I miss anything before the main
event, because we don't think so,

659
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.000
you know, just commercials. No, No, because at that time

660
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:07.519
that's whenever I was, uh,
we were getting food and then I was

661
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.400
coming back, so I was like
watching and then eating and watching that.

662
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:13.760
I just brought the brought the tattle
to the table, like I need to

663
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:17.199
finish this so we could record on
time this week. You're good, You're

664
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:22.039
good. Yeah, you know.
I'm glad that you were free. Um,

665
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:24.639
you know, Mark has something going
on and Mat was not even gonna

666
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:28.719
be able to watch today or tomorrow, so he was able to record it

667
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:31.719
all this week. So, um, just a little bit of magic happened

668
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:36.920
and us till were available. It's
perfect. It's absolutely perfect. So main

669
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:43.920
event time Starks and Christian versus Punk
and Darby. So first question, how

670
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:46.119
long do you think Ricky Stark is
gonna keep coming out with that belt?

671
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:51.280
How many weeks in a row?
I mean, with with the belt?

672
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:53.679
If it's seriously supposed to be like
a trophy, I hope the whole year.

673
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:57.199
As dumb as it sounds, but
I want him to wear it,

674
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.119
not slinging over her shoulder, like
come there, taking off and show it

675
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:01.840
off, be proud of it like
Owen was his slammy, you know,

676
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:07.119
just like show it off like I
am the first Owen Heart Memorial Champion.

677
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.119
And that's that's like I said,
I wanted to be an ever evolving belt

678
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:15.760
looked different each year, and it
being something not like the King of the

679
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:17.800
Ring, where only the King of
the Ring was traded once or twice.

680
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:23.239
I was like from Harley Race to
Hako, and I think Hako to Jim

681
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:27.920
Duggan, and then after that it
became like part of the art. I

682
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.599
think maybe dug into Macho Man.
But after that it was it was more

683
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:32.760
of the tournament. But the tournament
was underground for a long time. We're

684
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:35.679
not going to get into that.
That's not the point. The point is

685
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:40.280
it's supposed to be something too.
It's supposed to be just and all eyes

686
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:44.800
on me. I'm the next guy
too. I am the next guy to

687
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.800
be elevated. Pay attention to me. I won something very important. If

688
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:52.039
you look at the people who participated
in that tournament, I would be proud

689
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.480
to win it definitely. So I
think he should wear it all the time.

690
00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:59.320
I think he should always wear it
to the ring, show it off,

691
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.320
to celebrate it, always announced who
he is with it. It's also

692
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:07.840
going to get under people's skin to
say yeah, So that'll we'll get to

693
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:13.480
that in a second. So second
question, real quick, how great is

694
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:19.800
it that Christians wrestling in the Dickey. Oh my gosh, I love it.

695
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:24.039
It's um it's a reverend Christian Muson
and just I don't know, he

696
00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:29.360
just he wears it. He wears
it really well. But uh, what

697
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.159
were you having to say about it? Real quick? Didn't Nigel call it

698
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:38.639
the turtleneck out there? I don't
know, Like I said, this guy's

699
00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:43.360
just he's so good. But um, so back to the previous comment,

700
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:46.559
Um starts. Yeah, he's supposed
to get under your skin, but so

701
00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:51.719
to me, he's a face.
But on camera to night he was on

702
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.800
the heel team. Starts kind of
starts, kind of gives me like La

703
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:00.760
Night vibe. She's confident, super
great on the mic over with the crowd,

704
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:05.519
but still categorize as a heel.
But he's getting cheered like a face.

705
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:09.760
So starks were will tweener from me
right now? And I thought I

706
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:15.039
thought when he turned on Hobbs split
from there was his baby face push?

707
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:17.320
Am I am I wrong in thinking
that? No? I mean I think

708
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:22.480
I think we all thought that,
especially to work with Jericho. Yeah yeah,

709
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:28.280
so this is I mean, it
wasn't shades of heel until you know

710
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:31.280
he did the shady things against punk
and then he's endorsing the fact what he

711
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:34.880
did. You know what I see
more in this than than I do.

712
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:42.440
I see a little shade of Eddie
Guerrero. Yes, I did what I

713
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.639
had to do to get the job
done. It's not necessarily live, cheat

714
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:47.599
and steel because everybody laughed at it, because Eddie had a way of making

715
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:51.199
it work. It should have been
with Eddie, should have been a heel,

716
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:53.119
but everybody loved it and he was
a face. And even when they

717
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.960
tried to make him heal, he's
still people cheering it. Where Starks it's

718
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:02.400
starting off very deep rooted as a
heel and people are they're getting behind him.

719
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:07.840
And the thing is when they made
that's when he made that statement earlier

720
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:09.880
about oh, you should be one
of the pillars. He's like, I

721
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:14.159
don't want to be a pillar.
I want to be me. And that's

722
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:17.599
like really awesome because you look at
like Sammy Gavara and Darby and everybody else

723
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:22.400
who are the so called pillars.
Jungle Boy, I'd take Starks above the

724
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:27.440
only one that MJFF is, the
only one that really realistically is a better

725
00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:30.079
performer inside and out. I mean
Darby Allen's a daredevil and he's crazy and

726
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:35.119
he's amazing, but one one botched
move and he's in a wheelchair for the

727
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.880
rest of his life. Not to
mention the fact I can't see him as

728
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.760
AW World champion anytime soon, but
Starks, I could see it in a

729
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:47.760
year. And I could also see
if something happened to Starks, like a

730
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:53.800
kfevee injury kept him off TV for
like two or three months, just getting

731
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:57.320
time to work out, put a
little bit more muscle on, which he's

732
00:48:57.360 --> 00:48:59.880
not bad looking. I mean,
guy's really chisel, but he's a little

733
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.239
in And somebody announced that their their
mystery opponent. You know, they're gonna

734
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.159
have a mystery tag team partner against
MJF And say Adam Cole and they say,

735
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:12.440
yes, it's the winner of the
first Owen Heart Memorial. The place

736
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:15.000
is gonna erupt. He's gonna come
out instant baby face wearing that title,

737
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:20.360
and just whoever he's tagging with,
it's gonna take that rocket, put it

738
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:22.320
on his back and he's gonna go
straight to the moon and carve out a

739
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:27.599
piece of cheese. Well they should
do that now or in the next month

740
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:34.079
too. We should do that now
that now that now have this story with

741
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.880
Adam and MJF play out with the
tag titles. However, they're gonna do

742
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:42.920
that keep Stark off camera for a
month or however long till the end of

743
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:47.519
the year, assuming that MJF jumps
shit. So if you're gonna do that

744
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:52.760
storyline that you just suggested, it
would need to be take effect. Now,

745
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:57.239
yes, yes, it's well,
the thing is with him just winning

746
00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.000
the title, that we can't take
him off TV and I will. We'd

747
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.320
have to have a major beatdown,
and that that major beatdown would have to

748
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:07.920
be at the hands of a couple
of baby faces, So you're automatically turning

749
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:09.400
people. So it's one of those
where you got to put it on a

750
00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:15.119
wheel and see where's the wheel stop? Or you have two heels who are

751
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:19.920
have Adam cole and and m JF. You know, just see him flaunting

752
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.800
everything backstage and they beat him down, They beat him ridiculous and they just

753
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:25.000
say, you know, you're not
in our league kids, something like that.

754
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:29.679
Take him off TV like that,
that could work. That's the only

755
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:31.440
way it could work, because the
only way you out heel a heel is

756
00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:37.840
by taking the devil himself and his
best friend and making them do the dirty

757
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:43.199
work of the baby faces, so
no one has to risk turning that stark

758
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:46.920
Scott. I like his moveset I
do. He's got so much potential.

759
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:50.719
Yeah. I like when it goes
on the top rope and does the tight

760
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:57.239
rope rock like Michael Jackson. Yeah, yeah, like that's going to kick

761
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:00.519
out of that um. So during
the match, they pan over to Scorpio

762
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:05.559
Sky and Skybox. What do you
think? I mean, we know he's

763
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:08.679
coming back, but he's eyeball and
everybody any ideas what they're gonna do with

764
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:13.239
them. I don't care what they
do with them as long as they showcase

765
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:15.440
and that man is so incredibly talented. You know, I didn't even think

766
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:20.440
about that Scorpio was in the sky
box. That's hilarious. I didn't even

767
00:51:20.440 --> 00:51:23.079
think about that. Yeah, And
I liked when they looked at him all

768
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:25.599
of a sudden, he just started
doing their shifty eyes, like, Hey,

769
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:29.320
what's going on here, guys?
I noticed you saw me up here.

770
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:35.000
Scorpio Sky to me is an incredibly
talented, underutilized performer, and I'd

771
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.239
like to see a lot more with
him. And I really think that they

772
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:40.480
have done a great job of making
the T and T title means something.

773
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:47.000
And so because I got it,
took forever for WW to re establish the

774
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:52.360
intercoontinental in US titles. So to
me, T and T title has meant

775
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:54.840
something since the beginning, especially when
you go back to like Cody and Brodie

776
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:00.159
Lee and those chain dog collar matches. I mean, you felt like that's

777
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:07.400
really the second most prestigious title in
all the aw And that's what I mean.

778
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.760
Theoretically it should be the mid Atlantic, but we don't even want to

779
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:17.320
talk about that. It's the International
Championship. Now. That's yeah, that's

780
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:22.800
right. It's so basically Pockets has
that, or I should say Orange Castie,

781
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:25.159
I'm just yeah, that's just a
yeah, yeah. I mean seriously,

782
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:30.920
he's just no. And so here's
the thing. I love the Scorpios

783
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.199
guy, uh sighting that tells us
that he's going to come back, probably

784
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:37.039
as a baby face, to keep
that that title on Christian Lucasaurus. I

785
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:45.000
also want to say that Darby Allen
hit the best most crisp Canadian destroyer I've

786
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:47.039
ever seen in my life. Did
you see how fast he locked that on?

787
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:52.800
It went over? Yeah, But
I guess I'm kind of getting used

788
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:57.519
to the Canadian destroy in a kind
of starting to blend together from now I

789
00:52:57.639 --> 00:53:00.360
know. But just the fact that
he made it look believable, like the

790
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:02.760
person didn't have to jump and everything
else, like it wasn't assisted. He

791
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:06.840
made it look like he used his
own momentum, which was a difference to

792
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:09.880
me because I've been seeing it since
what was it, Pete Williams invented it

793
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:17.239
in Tnay. So oh, now
here's the thing. Did you notice that

794
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:24.360
after Punk delivered that that grandy savage
elbow to Christian, that when Christian Cage

795
00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:28.480
started to get up, and especially
also at the end of the match on

796
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:30.320
the ramp, that his hair was
starting to look like Bill Murray and in

797
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:35.480
Kingpenn when he's losing it in the
bowling match at the end. Uh No,

798
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:37.480
I did not. You gotta look
back at that hair, man,

799
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:45.320
it's going crazy. Way I did
notice was that the match he didn't have

800
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:51.119
some good flow, but not as
much connuity that I would like. It

801
00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:55.519
seemed. I say, I'll beat
there for a second. Um. When

802
00:53:55.559 --> 00:54:00.239
Punk gets the hot tag, he
started still lose some offense, and when

803
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:01.880
he had both the guys in a
corner and he does the knee strike.

804
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:07.280
They just they look have just have
done that. They didn't look right.

805
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:12.159
Yes, yes, I noticed that. I don't know if he's I mean

806
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:16.920
they're trying to be careful or just
going through the motions himself, or I'm

807
00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:21.599
seeing Punk and I can do no
wrong. I don't know. But one

808
00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:24.039
other things to stick out to me, and I was wondering Garby Allen does

809
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:30.599
a suicide dive outside into Lucastors and
he kind of showed the tackles them.

810
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:32.639
Yeah that should have that should have
been a DQ, don't you day?

811
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:37.559
Yes, I did some of the
stuff like I mean, it's pro wrestling

812
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:43.039
and it's one of those steals.
Yeah, I hate that. Whoever's in

813
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:45.480
the ring is whoever we let it
slide for it. As far as Punk

814
00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:47.480
and those knee strikes go, I
agree with you on that. I see

815
00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:52.639
it as twofold. One. We
all know that WWE has the best production,

816
00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:54.320
so they know what angle to hit
it from, so it looks better

817
00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:59.159
and more believable. Two the guys
is almost as old as me, so

818
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:02.239
he's put on some weight since he
first came in. But I mean he's

819
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:07.239
forty five you know, father time
is gonna catch up. Now. Maybe

820
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:10.159
if he kept up all those years
and didn't take all that extended time off,

821
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:13.920
that he looked just as crisp as
he did in twenty thirteen. But

822
00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:17.599
I mean the guys still, you
know, you wrestle for a few months,

823
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:20.519
then you get injured and you're out
a few months. It's like,

824
00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:27.000
how can you ever completely shake off
ring rust? And with time compiling on

825
00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:30.400
top of that, you know,
and then you throw in some camera guys,

826
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:32.119
who, Hey, Jay White's gonna
do a cool move, Let's go

827
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:37.280
to the audience. What you know? So that's that's it's it's all a

828
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:40.119
factor of three things. I think
in my opinion, Yeah, punks,

829
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:45.000
he's still got a stamina, but
yeah he's low loss on his agility,

830
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:49.320
and maybe he's taking a loss on
the strength call him. Yes, I

831
00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:52.039
still has a star factor. He's
still gonna put the butts and seats,

832
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:57.199
and he's gonna sell merch so um. But one day he will sell March

833
00:55:57.280 --> 00:56:00.239
again for the W because he's got
a return on a w W coun check

834
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:02.360
everybody does. He won't be able
to pass out to paycheck. I don't

835
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:07.760
think the ego will be able to
pass up the ring and just the legacy

836
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:13.679
Barker and being in the hall.
But um another roadgrad for the victory.

837
00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:16.639
Ricky Starks, what you think about
that? Loved it. I'm like I

838
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:22.079
said, Uh, if I were
to pick my pillars when they started out

839
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:25.119
the company, people would say I
was crazy if I said Powerhouse Hobs.

840
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:30.960
But I would have said Powerhouse Hobs
Ricky Starks of course, MJF. And

841
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:38.920
then that that fourth fourth pillar.
Um, you know, talk about young

842
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:43.119
talent like the future. You're gonna
laugh at me when I say this,

843
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:46.039
but I'm gonna shoot on it anyway. Wheeler Utah because he does nothing but

844
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:50.559
get better all the time. And
he was one of the few people that

845
00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:54.400
not only did William Regal and few
others say it, but he listens to

846
00:56:54.559 --> 00:57:00.400
veterans and they would talk about before
matches or before they would set up,

847
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:04.400
that William Regal would set up in
the ring. And you know, if

848
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:07.079
any young talent wanted to talk to
him, they said he was there all

849
00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:12.320
the time. It was like him
Starks, not Kavara. The other guy

850
00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:17.519
I can't think of his name,
Garcia Garcia, Yeah, Daniel Garcia they

851
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:22.079
said they were always there paying attention. And this has nothing to take away

852
00:57:22.119 --> 00:57:25.280
from Cavar as far as being a
pillar. But he's just too immature.

853
00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:30.119
He's just way too immature. And
then, guys, I see that while

854
00:57:30.119 --> 00:57:32.800
the long term future, that the
mid term future is going to be your

855
00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:37.679
your Malchi Black, it's gonna be
your Andrade, it's gonna be hopefully Miro

856
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:42.159
if he wrestles like Miro, not
like Russev, it could be a Christian

857
00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:45.440
cage or he's not, excuse me, a Brian cage, if he could

858
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:50.519
just get over his ego and stop
working like a madman. So I see

859
00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:53.320
a lot of potential in what they
have. It's just okay, here are

860
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:58.239
the tears. Here's the guys we
have right now. This is the mid

861
00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:00.519
card that's coming up really fast.
And then we have these so called four

862
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:06.599
pillars that will really be the ones
that are the future that we base everything

863
00:58:06.679 --> 00:58:09.599
upon. So that's where I see
all the people right now, or the

864
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:12.880
way if I could rewrite history,
the way I would have done it.

865
00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.679
Good points, good points. Uh, let's get some thoughts on Collisions.

866
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:23.239
Main event for next Saturday night with
our tag team match featuring FTR defending against

867
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:28.519
Adam Cole and m J. Are
we gonna get a clean finish? Are

868
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.000
we gonna get a finish at all? What do you think? I don't

869
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:36.280
think we're gonna We are not going
to get a finish at all. This

870
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:40.159
this one reeks of something something fishy
in the air, so to speak.

871
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:45.559
Okay, as as Scooba and the
gang would say, there's something fishy here,

872
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.519
I think I need a clue,
and um, I think I found

873
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.679
a clue because they're already starting the
descent. Can you can you trust this

874
00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:54.760
person? Can you trust that person? Are you guys really friends? Were

875
00:58:54.760 --> 00:59:00.440
you guys feuding like a month ago? I see runs, I see what

876
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:05.199
I What I honestly see is like
interference maybe by the Bucks or something like

877
00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:09.559
that. And it also tells you
with with um, well, I wouldn't

878
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:14.360
say the box, but I can
see somebody, somebody you know, being

879
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:17.400
an X factor in all of this. That kind of causes the gquh.

880
00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:21.039
Didn't they also say that there's going
to be a ladder match next week?

881
00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:24.119
I might have missed that part.
Who's featured in it? I think it's

882
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:30.360
Buddy Matthews and uh Andrade? Why
not. I knew they were going one

883
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:32.039
on one. I saw that,
but I didn't read there. We didn't

884
00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:36.039
read decaption. Is there a letter
match? I don't know. Let me

885
00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:39.079
let me research it real quick.
Yeah, research that real quick. So

886
00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:45.679
Adam Cole and M and jf are
they? I mean I was watching the

887
00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:52.960
tack the tag match for the Blind
Tag Team Eliminator tournament, and just I

888
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:54.440
can't, I can't. I can't
get with the program with these guys.

889
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:59.679
I just I don't like the way
they're buddy buddy all of a sudden there

890
00:59:59.719 --> 01:00:04.239
Ben into the crowd, and just
the way Adam Cole is kind of playing

891
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:08.920
taken fiddle to this guy. And
I don't know, I just it kind

892
01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:14.280
of seems like they're trying to beat
baby Face. But who's gonna be the

893
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:16.400
Are we having a baby Face where
his baby Face tag match next week?

894
01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:20.400
I mean, we know FCRs is
gonna be Face, but these guys coming

895
01:00:20.440 --> 01:00:22.000
in as the heels, are they
trying to be baby Faces? I don't

896
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:27.320
know, Just I just just just
something that with these two guys. Um,

897
01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:30.480
yeah, I can kind of see
the camerastry there, but it just

898
01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:36.440
it's not working for me. You
know I can't find it right now,

899
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:37.639
so I wouldn't quote me on the
ladder match. I could have swore they

900
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:42.960
said that, but I don't want
to get our listeners um all riled up

901
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:45.159
if I'm wrong about that. I
just maybe I don't know. I mean,

902
01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:49.800
I am an old man, so
you know, I'm not perfect.

903
01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:52.360
I might might have made a mistake. But I could have swore they said

904
01:00:52.400 --> 01:01:00.559
that. Uh, let's see true. Let see if I can find any

905
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:07.360
announcements because it was funny they announced
halfway through the show what the what the

906
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:09.119
matches were for next week, and
then when they came back from a commercial

907
01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:12.519
break, that's what they said.
Well, we had a special you know

908
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:16.440
announcement that I guess it's Matthews,
Um, Matthews one on one with Okay,

909
01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:21.800
what's up? Match? Oh,
I am so good, and that

910
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:25.119
Brodie Brodie King is going to be
banned from the building or something like that,

911
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:31.599
and the match is for Dreda's mask. Yes, so this I think

912
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:36.639
that's actually gonna be Match of the
night. And unfortunately I will not be

913
01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:38.760
able to be on next week because
I had to do a shift in my

914
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:44.280
work schedule. But aside from that, like I know you guys are gonna

915
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:46.000
cover it. I'm gonna have a
DVRD so when I get home and pop

916
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:50.400
in my sling, I can watch
it and see what happens. Really excited

917
01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:52.599
to see what the action is going
to be like. If you want to

918
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:57.079
text me in real time, let
me know, because we're friends like that.

919
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:02.159
But yeah, all at all tonight, I give it a a B

920
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:07.360
minus show only because of sloppy camera
angles. I give it a B minus

921
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:13.440
just because I just think that things
just could have been a little bit more

922
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:16.679
crisp. The mirror match was very, very much a disappointment. The slight

923
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:22.880
boxes here and there kind of were
kind of a detractor h The FTR interview

924
01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:28.159
was just kind of a kind of
a letdown. And the indifference of the

925
01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:30.880
crowd. Every time you have punk
out there, you're gonna have indifference.

926
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:35.000
And obviously with Ricky Starks getting hot
and eventually going to become a baby face

927
01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:38.760
someday, you're gonna have indifference.
So those are some some I wouldn't say

928
01:02:38.800 --> 01:02:44.159
issues, but reasons that you can't
get a solid reaction from your people.

929
01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:52.920
So B minus potential to be a
B plus, not an A match.

930
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:57.280
The night to me, obviously had
to be House of Black just doing their

931
01:02:57.280 --> 01:03:00.519
thing, Billy Gun retiring that.
You know what, We're gonna take that

932
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:02.440
B minus to a solid B.
Just if if it's true, then we

933
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:06.760
with this history tonight. So that's
a solid B right there. I'm really

934
01:03:06.800 --> 01:03:09.360
glad I got to see that live. Um, you know, you can

935
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:14.199
only get so much from on YouTube
highlight. So seeing this live, it

936
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:16.639
was, what are you touching?
It's if it's true, and I do

937
01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:20.760
believe it is. I agree with
you on the letter grade for the show.

938
01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:23.880
But that's kind of what a collision
seems to what it's gonna be.

939
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:28.679
It's gonna be you know, great
C Puss to a B puss show.

940
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:31.599
Um, you probably always didn't get
at least one title match. Um,

941
01:03:31.639 --> 01:03:37.000
it seems like Punk and Bullet Club
have been featured every week so far on

942
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:42.480
these Collision shows. So we'll see
what the future brings. Buddy, we

943
01:03:42.519 --> 01:03:45.360
are pushing an hour here, and
I'm pushing it. We are past the

944
01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:49.519
line. So um, we went
an hour talk for a two hour show.

945
01:03:49.639 --> 01:03:52.119
But you know we can do that
because we're in charge. Hey,

946
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:55.599
we're wrestle magic. Can I throw
a couple shout outs real quick. Yes

947
01:03:55.639 --> 01:04:00.000
you read my mind, Please do
it. Okay. So, living here

948
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:02.079
Louisville, there's a nice place I
like to go to called the Dundee Tavern

949
01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:04.599
that has one of the most amazing
menus. If you just want to sit

950
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:08.480
down and have a nice tea and
an amazing sandwich or any kind of thing

951
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:11.119
that you can eat with a fork, they have it. And so today

952
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:13.960
I met this guy named Kurt who
was just sitting there. We struck up

953
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:15.280
a conversation. Real nice guy.
I told him what I do as far

954
01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:17.559
as the podcast goes, and I
told him I give him a shout out

955
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:20.639
tonight. So he said he would
become a new listener if I did it,

956
01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:25.360
which I think is really cool.
The second shout out I want to

957
01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:30.159
give is to a friend of the
mail bag everybody knows is King Scully.

958
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:33.880
He and I had a conversation earlier
tonight on Skype, and it looks like

959
01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:39.360
he might be joining the Wrestle Magic
team here and there for a few episodes

960
01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:43.840
coming down the road. We're gonna
keep that under wraps, but Rocky and

961
01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:45.559
I've discussed it. We're going to
be doing some stuff with King Scully.

962
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:48.960
And so that's my shout out to
you, big guy, And if anybody

963
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:54.000
wants to reach me, it's at
one four excuse me at one four four

964
01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:58.000

965
01:04:58.119 --> 01:05:01.039

973
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:31.199
out to you, buddy, just
for making it on today. You know

974
01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:34.840
how our schedules can be. I'm
glad I got to do this two weeks

975
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:38.000
in a row. I was on
the first two weeks, I was off,

976
01:05:38.039 --> 01:05:40.440
two weeks I went back on.
So I'm gonna trying to keep that

977
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:45.400
chain rolling for everybody. Everybody,
don't worry. Wrestle Magic we've got some

978
01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:46.960
stuff cooking. We got a couple
of irons in the fire. We didn't

979
01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:51.599
have to put two of our episodes
on the back burner just due to life,

980
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:55.480
so we won't get too much into
that. Like Michael said, we're

981
01:05:55.480 --> 01:06:00.679
working with Keen Scully to collaborate on
a topic covering wrest in the UK.

982
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:02.239
We don't know what the time was
gonna be yet, but it's coming.

983
01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:08.639
Also in the works titled and I
quote not everybody can be a top guy.

984
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:12.000
This um is brought to you by
your nephew, Maverick. He came

985
01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:14.920
up with this idea, so meet
him a workshop with that. So that

986
01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:19.079
episode is coming soon and I think
that does it for me honestly. Um.

987
01:06:20.440 --> 01:06:25.840
So if you had anything else to
say, now it's time. Oh

988
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.840
yeah, yeah. To to my
friend PJ. I'll be talking to you

989
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:31.559
soon, Rock, you will be
talking to you soon. And to a

990
01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:38.400
very special girl in Arizona named Jennifer. Thinking about your baby, thinking about

991
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:41.719
your two can even though you're just
in the other room. But that's my

992
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:48.320
lady, that's missus Rocket Tum.
Oh, and don't forget m August first,

993
01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:54.280
Rocket will be on the Raw Review
Raw for the go home show of

994
01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:58.400
summer. Sam is in my hometown
and we got our tickets taking my son

995
01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:01.599
to his first show. So we'll
be doing the Wile review with Matts the

996
01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:06.639
morning after and it will be posted
August first, so ay, keep a

997
01:07:06.760 --> 01:07:11.320
look out for that. And sorry, mister melback next week, but I'll

998
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:15.239
be back on next weekend going forward
into the future. So with all that

999
01:07:15.320 --> 01:07:18.480
said, um, good talking to
you buddy. As always, we'll be

magic happening. Sounds great, but see

1001
01:07:24.880 --> 01:07:31.320
laire all right bye. That's not
just the coolest and that's not just the

1002
01:07:31.400 --> 01:07:38.800
best. That's wrestle magic. Now
that, my friends, is just incredible.
