WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:10.480 It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for addition with the 2 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:18.519 AAW fan Hub podcast team. This is Kelson and this is Alex and the 3 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:23.239 first bit of news I think we're gonna talk about tonight. Going back to 4 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.039 last week, we talked about Becky Lynch notable free agents in the wrestling landscape. 5 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.399 Last week, we mostly all agreed there's like a zero point one percent 6 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:42.240 chance of Becky Lynch ever showing up in AW. But there's a new name, 7 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:50.880 Ricochet, who I think I would put it at like ninety nine percent 8 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.119 chance. Maybe maybe not that high, maybe seventy five percent chance, but 9 00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:00.159 I think there's a really high chance that he shows up in AW. I 10 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:08.959 think he's like a Tony Kahan guy. He's you know p WG New Japan 11 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:17.120 Dragon Gate Kakara back in the day. You know, He's like an indie 12 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:23.719 guy that that Tony Khan I think has an affinity for Andy of the style 13 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.959 that I think fits in well with a lot of the AEW guys, specifically 14 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.599 Will Osprey, who I think is mentioned Ricochet specifically is the guy that he 15 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.719 wants to work with again. Yeah, yeahs have you ever seen Ricochet? 16 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:45.319 Russell Alex. Yeah, I have. I've seen I saw that. There 17 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.079 was I think twenty seventeen or maybe even twenty fifteen where he fought Will Osprey 18 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.640 in New Japan. I've seen that whole match, and that matches funny because 19 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.480 it caused a big stir at the time with like older wrestlers coming out and 20 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.359 saying, this isn't real wrestling, it's just you know, acrobatics in ballet, 21 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.000 and it ended up leading to a match between will ospran Vader because Vader 22 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:15.240 with outspoken about that match in particular. But yeah, I've seen a few 23 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.960 matches, indie matches. I haven't actually seen any of his matches in WWE. 24 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.199 I don't think, Yeah, what about you something. Have you seen 25 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.120 Richochet in action? I've seen him a few times. I mean, he 26 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.120 would fit in with a lot of the younger guys, and you know, 27 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:37.800 he's a high flyer. He would. I'm I'm not that sold on him. 28 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.680 Uh, he just I don't know he would. He definitely would fit 29 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.039 in with him, but I don't know so much to He's somebody that I 30 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.680 would look forward to coming in, but you know, new Blood, Yeah, 31 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.240 I'm gonna be honest, with you. I've never seen that dude wrestle 32 00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.319 once in my lifetime. I saw the match posted with him and will Osprey, 33 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.199 but I just didn't look at it. He was a guy like back 34 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.759 in the day when YouTube was kind of early on and you would watch wrestling 35 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.000 videos that it was like the top ten moves of this wrestler and top ten 36 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:20.039 moves of like Kevin Stein and he would do like the package pile driver, 37 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.159 and then you'd watch the ricochet one and he would do like a double moon 38 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.159 salt off the top ropes where he's flipping backwards twice, like he had some 39 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.000 crazy stuff. So that's kind of I think where I was first exposed to 40 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.560 him, But he was being in Luca Underground too. He was kind of 41 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.319 the main babyface Prince Puma, so he's definitely been around. Did they still 42 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:49.000 make those top ten moves of you can still find them? Any new ones? 43 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.000 Maybe not something that we could do like the top ten moves of Eddie 44 00:03:53.080 --> 00:04:00.319 King never mind, Yeah, no, I those those were the best video 45 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.319 back in the way. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't do it anymore, 46 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.680 and I'm sure it's like copyrighted and blah blah blah, but yeah, you 47 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.400 could definitely do some good ones for like Brian Cage and stuff like that. 48 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.920 Yeah, maybe, uh yeah. You know, it's interesting because we posted 49 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.759 there was well we didn't post about. Other people posted thoughts about Ricochet on 50 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.000 aw fan up subreddit and on the Greatness of Wrestling subreddit and pretty much everybody 51 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.160 was that gooing. You were saying, Alex is that Ricochet seems to be 52 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:40.920 a little bit more suited to the aw style because he was kind of lost 53 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:47.000 in you know, in WWE. Yeah, he just fit. He He 54 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.480 is like a bad promo. I know, I don't know if he's gotten 55 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:56.600 better because I really haven't been watching WWE, but like I've seen some of 56 00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.920 his promos and he's like among the worst I've ever heard. That's why everybody 57 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.279 wants him to come back. Is Prince Puma all masked up so he don't 58 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.519 talk m and there's a lot of managers in ae W and and stuff like 59 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.079 that that they can lean on. It's not it's just a different atmosphere than 60 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:21.319 WWE, so he can do he can play to his strength I think a 61 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:27.040 lot better. But and another thing about him is he is older for a 62 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.560 high flyer, Like he's thirty five, I think, And yeah, that 63 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.639 kind of style is rough on your knees and your body, So you know, 64 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:44.000 I think I think he'll be an interesting addition, if you know, 65 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.800 he can build on what I've heard a lot of same stuff too, you 66 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.839 know, and that's it's just one of those things where he never really got 67 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:58.800 a break in WWE because he just didn't fit in and you know, he 68 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.560 had nothing. They they got got him the Speed title. He's the first 69 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:11.120 Speed title champion, which okay, so you know, it's one of those 70 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.639 things. But yeah, he's always been I've always heard people say he's a 71 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.439 great wrestler, but he just was never used. All right, so let's 72 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:24.079 move on. We had a little bit of a video yesterday that that's Hardwood 73 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:31.360 posted on Twitter or X. I still can't call it X no, it 74 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.680 sounds like a half baked porno X No. It should be triple X. 75 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:44.560 You know, it's just it's a oldie. Yeah. So anyway, that's 76 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:50.839 Hardwood posted that he's been wrestling for the last a few months with a lower 77 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:57.199 back injury that he kept to himself. I assumed he didn't even tell Cash 78 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:04.240 Wheeler about it, and it just got so bad over the last well, 79 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:10.120 it shut his bed bad, but it's gotten unbearable and he finally came clean. 80 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:15.160 So Dax Hartwood is out of action. Uh, And then of course 81 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.639 we had the the Twitter war of sorts, I guess between Dak's Hartwood and 82 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:34.959 the incomparable Disco Inferno. Geez, just irrelevant, mister, Yeah. You 83 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.319 you only hear about him when it's something bad. I don't know if he 84 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:46.040 has if he's part of like Busted Open Radio or he has his own podcast. 85 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.199 Yeah, and he's trying to get his cred. He tries to make 86 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:55.120 it seem like he was important. And that's every time he says something. 87 00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:00.639 He has an opinion, and then he specifically looks for and hunts for things 88 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.680 to back that up and normally takes everything out of context. For example, 89 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.639 the whole Dax thing, he's saying that if he was rustling, he said 90 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.600 basically, if he's wrestling hurt, and then it's that's bad back that's bad 91 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.240 back backstage, and he's not taking care of his people. And even though 92 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.839 Dak said he didn't tell anybody, you know, so he's he tries to 93 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.480 turn everything and manipulate it so that he sounds like a genius. He's a 94 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.799 he's the younger Jim Cornett that could dance. He's not. He's not He's 95 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.679 not as talented as Jim Cornett. That's yeah, Like, like, are 96 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.120 they supposed to force every guy to go through like a X ray scanner after 97 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.879 every match or something? Yeah, you can't know and let someone reports it. 98 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.000 So it's just stupid. It's interesting, it is. It's stupid, 99 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.200 you know, but it was stupid on the point part of Dak's hardwood too, 100 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.639 that was Yeah, that's inexcusably inexcusably stupid. I mean, what are 101 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.000 you trying to do? Man? You know, hurt, there's nothing wrong 102 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:13.679 with being hurt. Dax gets a lot of flak because he's one of these 103 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.960 guys that just says every single thing that comes to his mind. He wants 104 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.360 it all out there, like there's no reason for him to go out and 105 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.480 tell the world that he hid an injury and all this stuff. But he 106 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.399 just doesn't know how to operate any differently. So I love him for it. 107 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.200 But yeah, it's like he's a little bit of a The league ultimately 108 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:41.039 top guys out, Yeah, yeah, and maybe we get some singles matches 109 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.840 with Cash Wheeler. I think he's really awesome as a singles wrestler, and 110 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.559 we never get to see it. U he has a dive that puts that 111 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.879 rivals Darby Allen's own. So yeah, hopefully we see some of him while 112 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:01.480 Dax's is out, but probably not. Yeah, well, you know, 113 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.559 let's move on because well, go ahead, Alex, what do you want 114 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.120 to talk about? Yeah, we were coming up to the one year anniversary 115 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.840 of Collision next week, so they've announced it. Yeah. I was at 116 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.360 I think the second collision or maybe the third, just because they were in 117 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.080 Toronto last year for Forbidden Door and it was one of the early collisions. 118 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:33.200 Collision has been an interesting I don't know if it's an experiment or what you'd 119 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.600 want to call it. I think they's had its highs and its lows. 120 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:45.360 I know we were kind of dumping on last week's episode. I think Kelson, 121 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.039 you said it was the worst that you'd seen. Well that was two 122 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.519 weeks ago. This past week was actually pretty good. Yeah. I thought 123 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.919 this week was a big improvement. I'm talking about the I even came down 124 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:07.320 hard on the collision that was Leo Rush Roderick Strong. Yeah. So I 125 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:13.080 mean, I will give this to a w I mean, as of yesterday 126 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:22.639 we already had six spots already advertised for Dynamite, which is amazing, and 127 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:28.600 we actually had four of the spots for Collision are filled in now. We 128 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.480 haven't had added anything else since then. But I like seeing AW promote their 129 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.480 shows well at you know, well in advance. Mm hmm. But is 130 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.639 there anything else? Is there anything in particular? I mean we can well, 131 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.879 you know what, let's just go over, uh what what stands out 132 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.240 of what's been already announced? What's what are you looking forward to the most? 133 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.600 Well, what I'm looking forward to the most is the return of the 134 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:05.519 House of Black. We've had two Collisions now without them since Double or Nothing, 135 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:11.320 and I've missed them tremendously. I think especially that little episode that you 136 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.879 really didn't like and that I didn't feel too strongly about, they would have 137 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:20.039 definitely helped that show a lot. And I think, yeah, I think 138 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.559 they really help Collision. They make that a show that's worth seeing just because 139 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.600 you know, you get the see House of Black all right. Yeah, 140 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:35.399 looking forward to them coming back, and I'm hoping that they're doing something interesting, 141 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:41.840 like maybe Malachi gets added to the TNT Championship qualifying match or something like 142 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.679 that. Like I'd like to see them doing something at Forbidden Door or maybe 143 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.519 even feuding with some Japanese talent or something in a zero hour match, just 144 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.399 something for them to do. Yeah, well, Sudden, is there anything 145 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.279 that stands out for you about the Collision card that's already been announced. I'm 146 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.080 kind of looking forward to the same thing. Uh, I don't know Collision. 147 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.960 You said, Collision has been up and down. I think the problem 148 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.919 came in is when they tried to make it see him Punk's show and he 149 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.720 left, they kind of floundered. They didn't have that. They didn't have 150 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:24.559 that like top person again. So instead of saying, Okay, let's make 151 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.799 this, let's make House of Black Domain or even Christian or you know, 152 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.919 something like that, they've kind of been stops foundering on that. Yeah, 153 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.799 they tried to do it with like Adam Copeland. I think they tried to 154 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.120 kind of have They never said it, but they He was heavily featured and 155 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:43.480 he's kind of an old time babe, I guess, but it just it 156 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.879 didn't seem the same, you know what I mean. He was on both 157 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.240 I mean, he was on both shows, he did stuff on both shows 158 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.279 instead of just being on Collision. It just didn't feel the same because well, 159 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.679 originally it was like, well everyone hates see him punk, but he 160 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.799 has these guys that like him, so we'll put these people only on Collision. 161 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.120 It's such a stupid reason for why they did it, but yeah, 162 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.000 that's why. Yeah, and now they don't have that problem theoretically anymore. 163 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.639 Maybe like when Andrade was still around, maybe to keep them away from Sammy 164 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.840 still and I don't know, but there's less drama. But it also does 165 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.120 kind of hurt Collision because now you don't have a reason to keep guys only 166 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:35.399 on Collision, right. Well, from my point of view, the the 167 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.080 I think the one that I'm looking forward to seeing the most is Deanna Paranzo 168 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:45.200 and thunder Rosa and no d Q match. Now, if you remember when 169 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:52.559 when thunder Rosa beat Britt Baker in for the for the a W Women's Championship, 170 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:58.720 it was a no DQ. Wasn't it a steel cage as well? 171 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:07.759 Yeah, it was still ky and thunder Rosa is not shy about using stuff 172 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.279 like thumbtacks and getting in there and of course sprint. Baker is also not 173 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.679 shy about getting in there and getting dirty. I'm not really sure about Diana 174 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.159 Parozzo, but you know, I'm looking at this match is like, this 175 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:31.200 could be a really good banger of a match. I'm looking forward to Dynamite 176 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:37.240 tomorrow night to see if they do any kind of promo leading into Collision, 177 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.279 because I'm waiting to see both of these women say we're throwing caution to the 178 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.759 wind. Basically, the only thing that I could say is like, look, 179 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.600 I think the thumbtacks are really cool. They're better than the shards of 180 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.200 glass thing. I prefer to shut thumbtacks. But if they really really want 181 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.159 to up the ante, they put legos in that bag, because holy hell, 182 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.279 that's just I can't imagine. I mean, I don't think that there's 183 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:10.519 any wrestling company that's stupid enough to use legos. However, I did see 184 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:15.240 a New Japan match where they did use legos in a four way match, 185 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:21.080 and that match basically they put the legos at the very beginning in a match 186 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:26.559 in the center of the ring, and then they tried to maneuver toward each 187 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.720 other. They all stepped on legos. Next thing you know, everybody is 188 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.399 outside the ring crying, so that didn't really work out really well. It 189 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.399 was hysterical, it was very funny. But okay, so now let me 190 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.000 ask you guys, and I guess we'll start with Alex. So we have 191 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:49.440 Christian Cage doing his father to you know, Father's Day special? Is it 192 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:56.600 his Father's Day weekend? We have Lee Moriarty and Dante Martin in a qualifier 193 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.440 match for the T and T Championship Ladder Match. We've already mentioned a House 194 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.839 of Black, and we've also already mentioned Thunder Rosa and Diana Parrozzo. There's 195 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.599 only four segments in a two hour show. Is there anything else that you 196 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:15.160 kind of would like to see added to this? I think like I'm thinking 197 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:21.079 of like historically some of the biggest matches they've had on Collision in the last 198 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:25.240 year, and there's like FTR versus Bullet Club Gold the two out of three 199 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.279 falls, but FTR is injured, so now they can't really have a match. 200 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:36.400 I would love man like if they want to really pull out some something 201 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.319 big for this night, like having an MJF match. It doesn't have to 202 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.119 be against Rouche, but it could be against like Pressed advance. But you 203 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:52.839 know, something like that could be really interesting for this show. Yeah, 204 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.000 I think yeah, MJL would be my my notmbe JF. What about you, 205 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.200 Sutton, Yeah, I would love to see some of their turns. 206 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:07.119 Other than like, you know, people coming back when they they almost always 207 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.920 come back on Dynamite or pay per views, I'd like to see some of 208 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.480 the people who are there, even if it's Britt Baker somebody, you know, 209 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:21.039 to surprise people with. I like the fact that the last couple of 210 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:26.079 weeks have had surprise matches that nobody was expecting. I think that added a 211 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.359 little bit to it, made it a little bit more fun. So, 212 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.640 you know, I really don't. I can't. I don't know. Maybe 213 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.920 a Jack Perry match, since he hasn't wrestled since he came back yet. 214 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.519 Oh he's wrestling on Wednesday. He's wrestling tomorrow night. Oh that's right, 215 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:45.000 isn't it. Yeah, that's right, he's wrestling tomorrow night. My thing 216 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.480 is very similar. It's like I listened to both of you and knew what 217 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.000 you were going to say, and I combined them. Alex said he wanted 218 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.559 to see some kind of like his historical kind of thing going on and Suton 219 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:02.559 wanted to see returns. I got three segments that I would add. Last 220 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:11.000 year, when Collision debuted, we had three things that happened that would basically 221 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:18.319 be a return for Instane. One of the things that happened last year was 222 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:23.119 Miro made his return. Wouldn't it be great to see Miro make a return 223 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:27.759 this probably not into the ring, but at least coming out and saying that 224 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:34.519 the Redeemer is back and that you know, don't don't count me out yet 225 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.200 because I'm not going anywhere, you know kind of thing. Now, he 226 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.039 may be ready to return, I don't know. And they may have been 227 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.200 waiting for this, because you know how Tony Kahn is, he gets something 228 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.559 in his mind. Miro could have been ready three weeks ago. No, 229 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.440 we're gonna say three months ago. No, we're gonna save him for the 230 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.960 for the one year anniversary of Collision. The second person, now we saw 231 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.039 him last week, so maybe we can even see him in the ring this 232 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:08.680 week on Collision is Scorpio Sky. Yeah, you know, and the third 233 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:17.519 person. And on the very first episode of Collision, this wrestler came out 234 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:23.319 and he said that he is going to throw his hat in the ring for 235 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:33.359 the Owen Hart Cup Foundation Tournament. Ricky Ricky Starks the eventual winner. So 236 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:42.359 that's three different things that I can see realistically happening. Yeah, those are 237 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:48.440 pretty good ideas. Yeah, in collision, does need something like that, 238 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:53.720 like a spark, something interesting that we we don't really get usually on Collision 239 00:20:53.759 --> 00:21:00.680 it's, as Sutton said, there's not a lot of surprises typically. Yeah. 240 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.279 I mean, as far as I'm concerned, those are really, like 241 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.160 I said, I think those are realistic things that they can do. I 242 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.240 mean, I like, something's suggestion that Britt Baker coming back, but I 243 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.559 don't really think that's realistic, not on Collisions. You know, I don't 244 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.720 know. You know, they've been talking about it. They've been talking about 245 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.640 it so much. How she's been she's she's been talking about wanting to come 246 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.599 back, and they've got all these other people that are out. I mean, 247 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.119 she's just one example that I could think of right off the top of 248 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:37.920 my head, maybe something. Have you seen the videos of her working out? 249 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.720 I have not seen work I gotta tell you, Britt Baker has always 250 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.599 had I want to phrase this correctly because I don't want it to come out 251 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:52.519 sound and creepy. Britt Baker's always had a really good wrestling body. She's 252 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:57.160 got a great physique. I don't mean about her girlish figure. I'm talking 253 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:03.400 about she does have that rustler physik tour. I just saw a video of 254 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:10.680 her this week. She is strong. He's jack she is she is jacked. 255 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:17.599 She is really jacked. He's been out so long and apparently been healthy 256 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.640 this whole time, or a fair bit of it that it's kind of weird 257 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:26.160 and maybe it is one of these Tony Kahan just waiting for that exact right 258 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.720 time to the point of absurdity. But yeah, with her, she was 259 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.839 hurt, but then also she was taking care of her man. That was 260 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:40.839 the reason that I'd seen people saying that she wasn't back yet or she wasn't 261 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:44.400 coming back. Was this she was taking care of crutches, Like what does 262 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:55.119 he need to spood for him with? That's I'm just repeating. With so 263 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.359 a lot of people say, hey, where's Britt Baker. I wanted to 264 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:03.119 go because for whatever reason, she has got everybody that has watched a w 265 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:10.599 from the start thinking she's the greatest women's wrestler and she's not. She just 266 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:15.960 isn't and I don't like her. She's polarizing. I much prefer on Mike 267 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.759 that I do will in the ring that didn't really work out too well either 268 00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:26.160 with her whole little Doctor's Visitor officer whatever the hell it was called. That 269 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:32.319 didn't last long but suck. And I will say this the perfect time for 270 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.000 Britt Baker to come back, and she does come back on TV would be 271 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:41.119 the one year anniversary, during or after or whatever. The Diana Frazzo at 272 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:48.000 the that's there exactly, and that's one of those things that you know, 273 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.519 like I said, it would be cool to see that, just because honestly, 274 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.640 the the the issues I had a couple of weeks ago with the women's 275 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:02.240 division, there's they're having more women matches, but they're the same matches over 276 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:07.000 and over and over again. They're not doing different matches. They're having either 277 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.160 you know, getting Serena Deeves in a couple of matches, but it's always 278 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:18.359 May and Tony and you know, Willow and there's nobody that They've got so 279 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.839 many of the women, they're just not using them. And it would be 280 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.480 nice to see some of those kind of matches too. On Collision if You're 281 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.880 not gonna put them on Dynamic put them on Collision. Yeah right, And 282 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.880 yet Deanna Parozzo and Britt Baker are apparently behind the scenes like best Friends and 283 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.920 thunder Rosa and Britt Baker on TV or Mortal Enemy. So oh yeah, 284 00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:47.160 that's a really interesting. Yeah, that could be really interesting. Yeah, 285 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.279 addition to that match. Yeah. Well, well let's move on to the 286 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:59.440 Dynamite preview because we already have six six segments I guess already advertised, and 287 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.400 I'll just started from the bottom up, and I mean the true bottom the 288 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:10.880 US guys. Hi, guys, it's uh tevy time with Chris Jericho with 289 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:18.920 the special special special guests Private Party. And my opinion on this is what 290 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:29.759 is your opinions? Okay, God, it's the public party with Private Party. 291 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.599 My opinion on this is okay, it's weird that he's now entering this 292 00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:42.000 feud with a tag team. So so I don't know. My thoughts are 293 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:49.920 is this this is either leading to Private Party joining the Learning Tree because you 294 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:56.640 know Inner Circle Jericho Appreciation Society it always had like that core five guys, 295 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:03.599 and I guess adding an a Jay later to the Jerical Appreciation society, But 296 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.119 they do kind of need a tag team here if it's the typical Jericho faction 297 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:14.720 side. So either Private Party joins them or some other tag teams going to 298 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:19.480 come into feud with Private Party. But yeah, that's my thoughts on this. 299 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:32.799 Well, sutinly have this. I honestly, I hope they don't do 300 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.720 that the Private Party. Private Party has been like for the longest time. 301 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.480 You know, they started out being on their own, and they got hooked 302 00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:45.920 in with Matt Hardy and they were I think that stifled them more than it 303 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.559 helped. And they need to be a tag team on their own because they're 304 00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:55.720 not that bad. They actually could be really really good. But teaming them 305 00:26:55.799 --> 00:27:00.440 up with another group just don't make any sense to me. I think it 306 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.559 would be a lot better than teaming them up with Matt Hardy because he was 307 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.359 doing no one any favors. No one that ever teamed up with Matt Hardy 308 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.319 was better off. But yeah, I see what you're saying, Like, 309 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.839 we haven't really got a good run of Private Party just as a tag team 310 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:22.079 wrestling consistently week in and week out, because it seems like Mark Quinn always 311 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:27.039 just gets injured. Yeah, well, we have broken a record on the 312 00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:32.839 on the podcast because we just talked about Private Party for four minutes, which 313 00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.880 is three minutes and fifty seconds longer than we've ever spoken about Private Party on 314 00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.640 this I didn't mention Jericho except in the beginning. Well there's no reason. 315 00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.160 Yeah, I mean, I honestly think it's gonna end up. I'm thinking 316 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:49.759 that Tomorrow night is gonna end up him putting a tag team match between Private 317 00:27:49.759 --> 00:28:00.200 Party and Bill and the other guy, the Bad Apple Bryan Keith. Think 318 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:06.880 it'll be really forgot about Brian Keith. I think, yeah, this has 319 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:12.240 been good for Brian Keith. Maybe it'll help Private Party. Well, we'll 320 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:17.480 see, we'll see. Just could be like a ws AT w O, 321 00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.720 except we call it the Nope w O or whatever, Nope World Order God, 322 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:29.359 the weakest faction in the history of wrestling. I honestly don't think Jericho 323 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.680 is looking to make a faction like before. I think he's just gonna keep 324 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:37.000 it where it's at him the Big Bill, and maybe uh, keep the 325 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:44.680 Bad Apple around just to continue the Hi guys, irritation of Kilson. I 326 00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.440 think, guys, let's move on. Alex, what do you want to 327 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.079 talk about next. Yeah, moving up the card, we got Mark brisco 328 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:59.160 Kyle Rally, and Orange Cassidy versus Kyle Fletcher, Roderick Strong and Knoski Takeshta. 329 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:07.680 I really liked seeing Kyle Fletcher and Trent Barretta at the end of Collision 330 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.960 the other night beating up Orange Cassidy. They looked good together. I don't 331 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.359 know why Roderick Strong has to be in this match and we don't get Trent 332 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:22.559 Peretta in there instead. Yeah, so that's a little disappointing to me. 333 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:30.079 I guess they're kind of keeping Kyle O'Reilly Roderick Strong or feuding again. I 334 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.640 don't know how Mark Briscoe found his way into this match, but there he 335 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:40.240 is. I don't know it'll be an interesting match because there's different storylines at 336 00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:45.599 play, but it's a little confusing. Yeah, I mean, look, 337 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.400 the only thing I could figure out is that Trumperetta was had with a rest 338 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.240 warrant out for him in Iowa. I mean, it just doesn't make any 339 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:57.319 sense for Roderick Strong to be in there. Of course, I'm biased, 340 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:06.440 because look, this match is not one that I'm looking for to look, 341 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:12.599 you know how I feel about Roderick's strong, the absolute most boring human being 342 00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:19.160 on the planet. He makes Eddie Kingston look like Elvis to me. Oh, 343 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.000 Elvis couldn't wrestle either. Uh, just so you know, obviously at 344 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.799 trouble, I mean obviously been at trouble over to the bathroom, right, 345 00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:37.079 but anyway, that was too soon. But you know, on the same 346 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:42.559 side, what I look at it is, I'm kind of getting a little 347 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:48.359 sick and tired of seeing Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy every single week. Now, 348 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.920 let's give somebody else a chance, you know, I mean, come 349 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:59.279 on, mm hmmm. Yes, I love Kyler rally, but yeah, 350 00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:04.920 it us feel like he's on every single show like Collision Dynamite, Collision Dynamite. 351 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:08.920 Yeah, I mean, I love his work rate, and he's a 352 00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.839 good guy, you know, and he's a talented wrestler. But too much 353 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.680 of a good thing is too much of a good thing. And that's the 354 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:23.440 same thing that happened with Orange Cassidy last year when he started his International Championship 355 00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.960 run. I was like, oh boy, it's Orange Cassidy. It's Orange 356 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:33.559 Cassidy. It's Orange Cassidy. It's Orange Cassidy. God it's Orange Cassidy again. 357 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.079 For the love of God, will you keep Orange Cassidy off my TV? 358 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.599 Every freaking week? And it was the same match every week, you 359 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.759 know. So look, this is what I'm talking about. We've got this 360 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:52.880 loaded roster. Let's let's if you want somebody to be elevated, if you 361 00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:59.920 want somebody to be important, if you want somebody to be meaningful, you've 362 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.039 got to put him in meaningful matches. This would have been a meaningful match. 363 00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:09.759 But it's not. It really isn't. This match makes no sense to 364 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.359 me whatsoever. Yeah, I'm excited to see Mark Brisco, I like to 365 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:20.279 see Kyle Fletcher, I like to see Takeshta. But you know, I 366 00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:25.200 could do without another match with Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy. 367 00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.160 Yeah, it's just overkill at this point. Yeah. Yeah, if you 368 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:35.039 just swapped out Roderick Strong and Trumperetta'd be like, Okay, now we get 369 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.160 to see the Don new Don kallis family kind of together for the first that 370 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:44.160 makes sense. That's interesting. But yeah, now they had to get Roderick 371 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.559 Strong in there. I think he's Tony Kahan's favorite wrestler. Right now. 372 00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:52.400 I don't know why, but I have no clue. Maybe so maybe Tony 373 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.559 Kahan is like Genghis Khan and he just likes torturing people. I don't know. 374 00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.680 Maybe I'm so of myself for coming up with that. At the top 375 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:07.440 of my head. I got to write that ship down. Oh lord, 376 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:14.000 I think I think, I think that this match should not There's no reason 377 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:19.759 for this match if you're not going to include Trent burretta because uh, you 378 00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.799 have you have, I mean Orange Cassidy being in it. I mean other 379 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.599 than the fact that they beat him up last week, but that was to 380 00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:29.720 help out their buddy, their new guy, who's not even in the match. 381 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.680 I think the biggest problem right now is that that the Callous family has 382 00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:38.920 way too many undecided things that they're trying to get. They're trying to figure 383 00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:44.480 out what to do. They're almost like forcing it and it don't it just 384 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:50.640 it's it doesn't have any cohesion anymore. I mean, he's you know what 385 00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.920 I mean, it's just weirdest. The most interesting thing in the Don Callis 386 00:33:54.039 --> 00:34:00.599 family is their relationship with will Ospray, and it's like, yeah, waiting 387 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.359 for that to play out down the road or something. But they're just ignoring 388 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:14.239 it. The torture, I'm telling you. Yeah, So I really do 389 00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:16.400 think Tony Kahan looks at stuff like looks at the calendar. He said, 390 00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:22.519 you know what, I could do this on Saturday, but I'm gonna wait 391 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:27.400 until double or nothing twenty twenty five to do it just for the you know, 392 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:35.920 because he just Yeah, everybody expects from day one. From day one, 393 00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:40.320 we were all expecting or Will Osprey to leave the don Kallis family and 394 00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:45.400 it's not happened yet. And it's not like they've been he's been part of 395 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:51.760 the family at all. If anything, he's been funning them. I don't 396 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.559 like they're not telling a story where it's like, oh, he doesn't get 397 00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:00.599 along. Oh, now they're getting along a bit better. It's Yeah, 398 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.199 I think the problem came into that there's been some injuries they didn't count on 399 00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:10.320 that. I think I think Tony has a problem with when the injuries come 400 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:16.480 up, like, uh, you know, Hobbs got hurt and that one's 401 00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:20.840 but you know that that kind of threw things out of whack with that, 402 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.559 and then now you've got FTR hurt. Sometimes I think Tony has a problem 403 00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:30.480 with being able to call an audible, which you know, being the owner 404 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.880 of the Jacksonville Jaguars, he should be able to do this. But it 405 00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.920 just seems like sometimes when he has injuries that probably out of nowhere, that 406 00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:43.880 he doesn't have a way to yeah, go with a different plan. He 407 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:45.639 hasn't set up the way he wants to have a set up. I think 408 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:51.000 he does this ship too six months to a year ahead of time, and 409 00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:53.000 then when something happens to stop it, he goes, what am I supposed 410 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:57.199 to do now? And it takes him a minute to catch up. Yeah, 411 00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.199 there's that like one time with Chris Statlander where he was kind of the 412 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:06.400 inevitable winner of OR One to beat Jade Cargill, but then she got hurt, 413 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.880 so that j Cargill was just champion for like six more months, the 414 00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:19.119 longest most worthless title reign in any wrestling company ever. Mm hmm. Well, 415 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:24.480 let's move on because you know this next segment I'm actually kind of looking 416 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:30.960 forward to. All it says is Rusian action. Well, when you mentioned 417 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:34.840 the name Rouche, based on what happened last week, it's probably going to 418 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:40.199 involve MJF in some way, shape or form, we saw MGF last week 419 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:44.800 and rooshe came out. Is we're gonna are we going to see Roos this 420 00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.960 week and MGF comes out or at least as a package. On another note, 421 00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:54.880 AW has this thing about Rusian Action, MIRO and Action, MJF and 422 00:36:55.000 --> 00:37:00.320 Action. They always do, you know, whoever in action, And I 423 00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:07.440 was thinking about it, and that must make Action Andretty really uncomfortable because he 424 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.719 has more people in him than any person has a right to anyway. Anyway, 425 00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:22.239 that's that's it. I'm just looking forward to see that. I just 426 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:29.519 thought it was. But honestly, you know when you see somebody in action 427 00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:37.679 that there's going to be extracurricular activities local more local. Jobber is going to 428 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.320 get beat up. You know what means well? You know, I mean 429 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:47.159 sometimes it's somebody runs the ring, or sometimes we just get a impassioned promo, 430 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:54.440 in Rush's case, passion promo that very few of us would understand. 431 00:37:55.039 --> 00:38:00.920 I mean, they really begin to come up with a you know, post 432 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.559 captions because when he gets I understand him, what fine, when he's talking 433 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.920 normally, but when he gets excited, I lose it. I I can't 434 00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:15.760 understand him. Well, at least m JF is on the same page. 435 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:21.400 Yes, well he's obviously we found out last week that MGF has a mastery 436 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:27.559 of the of Spanish. I can't repeat what he said, but he said 437 00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:36.639 it. Yeah, it was something about his mother. Yeah, filled the 438 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.760 blank. Yeah, I love I like. I think he's had like maybe 439 00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:45.440 one or two matches like on Collision only since he's been back. We don't 440 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:52.000 know what's going on with both gubernobylis faction whatever. However, you can't say 441 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.920 it. I don't. I just say I because I can't say it. 442 00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:00.719 Yeah, I need to see it written. I fall over my talk wards 443 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.199 the mer Citi Sponde and a promo. Yeah, it'll be interesting because I 444 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.960 I kind of thought maybe we're gonna see, you know, lf I join 445 00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:13.280 up with Rush and then and Jf's gonna have to get some back up on 446 00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.840 his side, and maybe that would be FTR. But that's definitely not gonna 447 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:22.199 be FTR now. But yeah, I expect we'll see MJF involved in some 448 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:29.639 way, maybe just on the Titan Tron after the match. If we don't 449 00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:34.199 see MGF tomorrow, and I do predict that maybe Ruschel throw his hat at 450 00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:38.559 the rank for the Owen Harcop Foundation. Yeah, I like, have they 451 00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:44.280 been doing that? They they've had They've really made that feel a lot more 452 00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:47.679 important than it did last year and for and really like even the first year 453 00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:53.000 because it wasn't for anything, and now because it's for a title opportunity, 454 00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:58.119 it's it just feels like a bigger deal. Yeah. I agree, but 455 00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:02.840 they've got to get the ball rolling because I believe the uh, the finals 456 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:10.039 are July tenth, which is basically a month from now, so so you 457 00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:15.000 know, let's go guys. Yeah, for sure, it'd only be like 458 00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:20.480 a few weeks if they started after for Bidden Door. So yeah, but 459 00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:23.239 from now until July tenth, we're gonna probably be loaded with one, two, 460 00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:32.440 three all on Hart Foundation Cup matches, you know, so a week, 461 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:37.000 don't forget. You got the men and the women. So that's gonna 462 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:44.280 be interesting. So what's next on the agenda? Next, we got Jack 463 00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:51.239 Perry versus Dustin Rhodes in a qualifying match for the TNT Ladder match for Bidden 464 00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:58.960 Door. I'm not I know most of you guys really like and respect Dustin 465 00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:01.800 Rhodes. I've never really been a huge fan, just because I think I 466 00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:07.360 favor younger talent and like he doesn't have a lot of upside in my mind, 467 00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:13.440 but he is a good wrestler and it'll be fun seeing Jack Perry have 468 00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:20.360 his first singles match since since Wembley. I guess it's almost been a year 469 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:25.480 for him. I mean, Jack Perry definitely has a uh I mean, 470 00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.079 Dustin Rhodes is an older, older guy, and he knows it. I 471 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:34.000 mean, he would got onto what he'd say, a boy by getting old 472 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.000 when he was in the ring last time, you know. And so hey, 473 00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:40.920 look, I'm all forgiving Dustin Roads as flowers. He can still go. 474 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.760 He can still go, you know, and he's good and he he 475 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:51.639 really works hard to put whoever he's in the ring with over and I appreciate 476 00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:55.679 that. And of course Jack Perry has a real glass ceiling. So you 477 00:41:55.719 --> 00:42:05.880 know, I think that obviously Jack Perry's gonna win this match. But there 478 00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:10.199 are some people that I've seen that have said that Dustin Rhodes may surprise people 479 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:15.760 and win this match. I just don't see it. Yeah, that would 480 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:22.280 be kind of crazy. This whole tournament exists for Jack Perry. It could 481 00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:28.800 create like an angry Jack Perry who's out to get revenge and and give him 482 00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:34.840 an angle. But seems like that that would probably play out at Forbidden Door 483 00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:42.199 if he were to lose. Yeah, what about you, So do you 484 00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.840 have any thoughts on this match? I mean, I like watching Dustin work. 485 00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:50.960 I mean I've been watching him since he was a rookie, and he 486 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:59.440 still does have some innering ability. I I'm looking forward. I'm really looking 487 00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:07.280 forward to possibility of maybe MGF throwing himself into this match too, into this 488 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:12.119 into the tournament to try to get a shot at that title again. Something. 489 00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:16.480 Yeah, that could be a because in the end, if you really 490 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:21.599 really really want to have this come down to something for everybody and make it 491 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:25.480 exciting, the final gotta be Jack Perry versus MGF. Two of the pillars 492 00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:37.320 is uh at in the ring and oh god, no, no, no, 493 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:44.559 please god, yeahbody, somebody do I mean that would that would come 494 00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:47.719 down to be the final? Roderick Strong versus Jack. You might as well 495 00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.239 do the finger poke of death right then, because you know that that's just 496 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:57.920 way too but you got to make it something interesting so that that's I mean, 497 00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.079 it's gonna be a match, and you know who's gonna win, just 498 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:06.880 because Jack Perry's not gonna get in this match and not win it. So 499 00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:08.599 it's kind of one of those matches. But it should be a good match. 500 00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:15.440 We'll be entertaining. I do think it'll be an entertaining match. So 501 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:21.960 let's move on to probably what I would consider the most controversial match in this 502 00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:28.239 based on what I've read on the aw Fano subreddit, and that's TBS Champion 503 00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:35.440 Mercedes Monet against Zeusis from CMLL. Now, a lot of people are saying, 504 00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:42.280 why is Zusi or Zeusis getting a TBS Championship match, Well, it's 505 00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:49.239 for story reasons. Yeah. She is currently one half of the of the 506 00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:58.679 Mexican Women's Championship Championship team and the other half is Stephanie Packer. She's Stephanie 507 00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:02.800 Becker's partner. So what I'm hoping is that we see a good match, 508 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:07.239 which we should. Marcedes Monet is probably gonna win the match, not probably 509 00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:14.599 almost one hundred positive she's gonna win the match, but we'll probably see some 510 00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:19.280 kind of involvement, involvement from Stephanie Vecker, right, because we've got to 511 00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:25.079 I mean, we've got to get Stephanie in the ring as well. In 512 00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:30.159 a match I'd say, dynamite, what next week or something to that affects 513 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:40.840 so American audiences who are not familiar with her because she is the IWGPUH Strong 514 00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.239 Championship. It is strong, right, Yeah, yeah, I think it's 515 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:50.800 strong. And she is the Mexican so she's definitely a decorated wrestler. But 516 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:55.840 unfortunately she's not been on American TV all be come a lot, you know, 517 00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:01.679 especially not in the wrestling capacity. So I'm kind of looking forward to 518 00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:07.519 this match just so that we could possibly see a great match between Monett and 519 00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:15.400 Zeuxis, but also the emergence of Stephanie Vacker. The question I have is 520 00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:24.159 that if both zeuss and Stephanie Vacker are beating down on Mercedes Monet, who 521 00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:35.280 comes out on Mercedes Bonet's behalf will help her out? Wow? I don't 522 00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.400 know, I think I don't think that I was thinking the same thing something. 523 00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:43.599 But look, Willow's got her own program going on with Chris Statlander right 524 00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:47.440 now. I kind of don't think that they want to pull Willow in different 525 00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:52.679 directions like that. Well, I mean it would be I wouldn't put it 526 00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.440 past them. They do that with everybody. It seemed like something, But 527 00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:59.559 you gotta figure it's got to be somebody she can team up with, because 528 00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.360 you know if these two start beating her down tomorrow night, that it's going 529 00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:06.719 to lead to the next time we see them in the ring, it will 530 00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.719 be a tag team match. That's almost always how they lead up to this. 531 00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:15.599 They have her come out beat on Monett with her partner, and since 532 00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.960 they're already partners, it'll have to be somebody that that Mercedes can team up 533 00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:25.000 with next week in a tag team match. So what about, like a 534 00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.320 fantasy kind of thing, what if we bring in What if what if we 535 00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:37.840 have a beatdown between UH with Zeusis and UH and UH, Stephanie Vacker, 536 00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:50.000 Mercedes Monet and somebody like Camille or or maybe Began Baine come out to make 537 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:54.400 the same. Yeah, they're they're both apparently ready to go. And then 538 00:47:54.440 --> 00:48:00.559 another in another two names that come to mind that wouldn't be a debut, 539 00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:07.960 but Hakarushida or Rijo. They're both pretty proud Team A w wrestlers, and 540 00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.639 they're big deals and they haven't been seen in a while, so I think 541 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:16.280 they could make sense there. Yeah, I don't know that that's a really, 542 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:27.039 really interesting proposition because I can even have that match on Saturday if they 543 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.840 could get because at the ball. Although it doesn't seem like Mercedesprene is really 544 00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:35.039 at the wrestling on Saturdays, I don't think she's ever been on Collision yet. 545 00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:38.960 Other than I did notice that they did add her to the to the 546 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:45.360 place, the the the when they do the whole intro, they did have 547 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:50.280 her in that. Now she's in the intro video, okay, which I 548 00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:54.440 don't think she was before. So I think I I don't remember seeing her 549 00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:59.679 before. It just happened. I know, I looked up and I saw 550 00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:01.719 her this time. I'm thinking, wait a minute, that's new. But 551 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.639 yeah, I mean anybody that she could get involved in, that would be 552 00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:13.719 an awesome thing to do. Even possibly make it so that there's a reason 553 00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:16.280 for Zekes sister or however you say her name, to have a match at 554 00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:24.519 Forbidden Door. Marie. It could be Mina, sir Cowa sure I was 555 00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.159 already has no no, I meant I meant to come out and help her, 556 00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:34.760 just to keep people involved in the Forbidden Door matches, give them music. 557 00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:38.480 You're crossing the storylines up. It doesn't make sense to have somebody that's 558 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:45.679 in Mariah May Tony Storm. That doesn't make sense to bring you. You're 559 00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:49.320 the one who was saying they need to do some something new and to keep 560 00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:52.639 rehashing the same thing over and over. You know, you know, you 561 00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.840 know, you know, now that I think about it, that might be 562 00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:02.719 the perfect time if Britt Baker's raised go to bring her out as kind of 563 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:09.920 a because they're gonna have something between her and Mercedes eventually. That was the 564 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:14.199 talk when they first when I first heard about them bringing in Mercedes, they 565 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:17.400 were talking about how they wanted to have her go against Britain. I'm thinking 566 00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:23.360 to myself, why, But you know, with the whole CEO and DMD, 567 00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:27.119 they that whole thing is going to be an issue down the road. 568 00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:30.519 That could be where she could come back and help her out and maybe get 569 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:34.519 that return that I want to see just because I want to see somebody come 570 00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:38.280 back. Yeah, yeah, it makes sense because, yeah, if someone 571 00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:42.920 teams up with her, they're either like it could be Camille and it could 572 00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:49.159 be just there with Mercedes kind of as her stooge or heater, or it's 573 00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:53.280 someone that's gonna feud with her after helping her out. But yeah, that's 574 00:50:53.320 --> 00:50:58.360 all interesting, and I'm just curious. So people are complaining about this match 575 00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:05.559 because it's for the championship. They don't understand why Zeuxis is getting a championship 576 00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:09.599 match. If I'm looking at this is like, okay, I don't look 577 00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:12.519 at it that way. I look at it. It's like, it makes 578 00:51:12.599 --> 00:51:16.199 perfect sense why Zas is getting this match, because it's a story. What 579 00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:20.719 I don't get is why in the hell as Mercedes Monet still being called the 580 00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:24.880 CEO. What the hell is she the CEO of her business? That's what 581 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:35.039 she's see the CEO of See Okay, she's a small company. It's a 582 00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:39.079 play on it's a play on her character as she had in WWE, she 583 00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:47.280 was known as the boss. She she's it's about her. Uh, it's 584 00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:52.119 about her her. You know how you always hear about people with like you 585 00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:55.679 have your own brand. She's her brand. Everything she does is about I 586 00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.320 think about all these different times. Here, you've got a thing. You 587 00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.320 can look that on the TV. You can follow me wherever I'm going. 588 00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:09.239 She's building her brand. So she's the CEO of the Mercedes. Who the 589 00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:17.480 hell else would be? But that's the whole thing I see Kelson, that's 590 00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:23.639 stupid, but that's how she did it w w E. So they're kind 591 00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:28.159 of doing it here now in a little bit different way because then she was 592 00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:31.480 just called the boss and they made a big deal about her being the boss 593 00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:35.519 and she was the the thing. Now she's here, so now instead of 594 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:39.119 being the boss and caught being the w w E, she's now doing CEO 595 00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:45.519 and that's that's just the you know, the bigger boss that but that's what 596 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:52.559 it is. It's wrestling. You can want to be a dick, but 597 00:52:53.320 --> 00:53:00.840 well, unfortunately, I don't ever want to be just your more to people 598 00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:07.639 complaining about championship title shot, who cares? And has there ever is made 599 00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:14.400 a t n T or a TBS title match almost every week? I think 600 00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:20.960 if you're if you're for the faith and she's willing to defend the title, 601 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:24.280 so it's up who the hell cares who it is? It could be generally 602 00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:28.760 speaking, when you look at the t n T, what did Adam Copelott 603 00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:32.639 have? What he was TT champion Cope opened, Julia Hart, Jade Carr 604 00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:37.039 Gill always open challenges. It's g n T and t B S titles are 605 00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:45.199 open challenge titles, So Look, I'm gonna say it. The people are 606 00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:53.079 complaining about zekes Is getting a title shot. Shout app Okay, that's agree, 607 00:53:54.480 --> 00:54:02.199 and it gives him something to complain about. Yeah, I'm gonna have 608 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:07.920 to go find some of these posts and have some fun. Yeah, oh 609 00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:16.920 boy. We have one one match left unless something's been announced while we've been 610 00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:23.840 doing this podcast. But Ray Phoenix won a championship opportunity to challenge for the 611 00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:31.280 international title against Will Osprey. This could be a really awesome match because Ray 612 00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:38.159 Phoenix is maybe the best high flyer or one of the best high flyer wrestlers 613 00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:44.519 in the world, and Will Osprey is right there alongside. Will Osprey is 614 00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:49.119 not like solely a high flyer, but he is. He can do all 615 00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:52.760 those things as well. I think this could be a fantastic match, and 616 00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:59.039 I'm sure will Osprey will win. But yeah, I'm excited for this. 617 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:06.960 I agree. I mean, Ray Phoenix is superb. There's no other way 618 00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.760 to put it. He's superb. It's kind of unfortunate that he's putting in 619 00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:14.559 a put in a situation where he's gonna take the obvious loss. I just 620 00:55:14.639 --> 00:55:20.599 don't see, you know, Phoenix in any situation. Winning this match, 621 00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:25.239 it's like a one loss for Phoenix win for a Ostbury. But this is 622 00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:28.480 one of those matches you just sit back and you go like, Okay, 623 00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:31.239 I'm gonna enjoy the match because they should put out a really good banger. 624 00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:37.480 So yeah, this is definitely gonna be probably the match of the night. 625 00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:43.679 I'm hoping it's not the first match. I hope it's actually the main event, 626 00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:46.119 because there ain't nothing else on the show right now that would be main 627 00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:50.920 offen status. So well, stut, if you look at the card, 628 00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:55.320 you've got Orange Cassidy's face sitting right there. He's gonna be the not trios 629 00:55:55.360 --> 00:56:00.000 match is gonna be the first match, I hope. So what I'd like 630 00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.440 to see the first match is Dustin Rhodes and Jack jack Berry. Yeah, 631 00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:14.119 but if they were smart, they would do Mercedes Monday and Jusas. Yeah, 632 00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:15.400 that could be good too, because they always want to get like that 633 00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:22.719 catchy song either John Moxley, Orange Cassidy, but Mercedes Monette could fit the 634 00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:25.960 bill. Oh you know what that means, it's TV time, that's what 635 00:56:27.039 --> 00:56:37.480 we're doing. That might be there. He can't we didn't get the tree 636 00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:45.039 last week. Hopefully this week it'll be in the ring. Yeah, so 637 00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:51.239 real looking? Make that for him? I hope it's the same one that 638 00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.199 they've folded down and now they've brought back with them two weeks later. Yeah, 639 00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:58.760 it looks like in a bad shape as uh card Blade. Yeah, 640 00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:02.559 yeah, he was. He was kind of haunched. Hey. I don't 641 00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:06.320 know if y'all have seen some of the segments he's done on other shows, 642 00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:08.079 but when he did the one, I can't remember who it was, but 643 00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:14.480 he puts somebody said through a TV in WWE. Who are you talking about 644 00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:23.639 Jericho? Okay, yeah, you're talking about he He's always had a show 645 00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:28.840 like this and an interview show or something like that. Everywhere he's been, 646 00:57:29.159 --> 00:57:32.199 he's always had something like that, and it's always ended up coming to a 647 00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:37.920 point where it has a meaning and something. I think it might have been 648 00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:39.199 Sean. Was it Seawan Michaels? I think I Sean Michaels. He put 649 00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:44.000 through the TV. But he puts somebody through a TV. Okay, Well 650 00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:47.360 back up to Well Osprey and Ray Phoenix. Does anybody have anything to say 651 00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:52.679 about this that it's going to be a good one, because I really don't 652 00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:54.119 want to talk about Chris Jericho at all, because I don't give a shit 653 00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:58.159 about you, Chris Jared. Didn't we talk about him already? We did, 654 00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:04.639 and we talk about him with w w ee. Okay, how did 655 00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:08.559 we get back to Jericho? I don't know, but yeah, it is 656 00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:14.840 unfortunate about this Will Osprey Ray Phoenix match that we that it's so obvious that 657 00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:20.159 will Osprey is gonna win. I mean, now there there's maybe a small 658 00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.000 part of me that's like, well, you know, they could take the 659 00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:29.079 title off will Osprey here to free him up for the world title, but 660 00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:32.360 I mean that's probably not what we're going to see. Or they can just 661 00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:37.159 have a rematch two weeks from now and have Osprey went it back. I 662 00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:42.360 don't know, uh huh, or will Osprey could get concussed and Ray Phoenix 663 00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:49.320 will well yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just saying that's how Ray Phoenix 664 00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.360 has won titles in the past. There you go. Well, then he 665 00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:55.880 also lost the title more is the second time because he was hurt. Yeah, 666 00:58:55.960 --> 00:59:00.719 So it happens both ways every healthy whether it's k fab or not. 667 00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:07.960 Right. All right, guys, well that's our show for tonight. We 668 00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:13.199 will be back tomorrow night for a review of Dynamite, which I am really 669 00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:16.440 thinking that we're gonna have a really fun Dynamite tomorrow night.
