It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for ignition with the
a W fan Hub podcast team. This is Kelson and Alex is away today.
He may come back sometime during this podcast, but for tonight, it
looks like it's just me as the host instead of being a co host.
But anyway, what we're gonna do tonight is we're going to talk about the
two hundred and fiftieth episode of Dynamite. It's hard to believe that two hundred
and fifty episodes have already been you know, it just seems like fifty weeks
ago that we just had the two hundred wah wah Wahway. Well, look,
I want to get into the matches, no preamble, Let's get into
the matches. I want to hear your thoughts, the podcast team's thoughts on
the matches. And we do have a new podcaster with us, and that
is Red. Why don't you introduce yourself, Red? Thank you for having
me. Kelson. I weekly reviews of AW Dynamite. I've been to AW
fans since the beginning. I started watching Dynamite weekly in twenty twenty, and
I watched it ever since. I'm super excited to join the crew. Thank
you all for having me. Oh, we're happy to have you. So
I'm gonna ask this question and Red, I'd like to hear your thoughts first.
Let me get the My way of answer asking questions is very long winded.
So I made a poll on the aw fan hub subreddit and on the
aw fan hub YouTube channel asking who is going to win the International Championship match
between will Ospray and MGF. Obviously, one of the choices was will Ospray.
One of the choices was MJF. But a third choice was already on
there too, and that was a no contest or a time limit draw.
I kind of group them both together. At the end, I will give
the results of those polls because we have quite a number of people. Answer
to Paul, but what do you think? Red? What do you think
is gonna happen? By night? And the will Ospray at MGF match.
MJF has a particular flow he likes to use when he's building a program,
and it's it follows simple story structure. It's rising action cimax falling action solution.
Right now we're in the rising action where we're reaching the zenith of this
for MJF. Typically that's like a match on television. People bemoan that he's
giving away a main event or a pay per view match, and he's probably
gonna win by using some underhanded method and take that title from Osprey, So
that that would be my prediction, and I think it'll give Osprey something to
rustle for at in Wembley at all in, so well, you do think
that m JF is going to win there in a national title tomorrow night?
Boy almost said that where it was legible almost, Yeah, I think he
is. I think he's going to win tomorrow night, and I think Osprey's
going to his win back it all in, so well, that's what you
think is destined to happen. What about everybody else it's gonna I think it's
gonna come down to what they plan to do for all in, I don't
necessarily think that that. I mean, I could see what Red say happening,
but I'm not sure that that's going to happen to Tomorrow. It's a
big enough show to happen on I just don't know if they're going to run
it back that like that at all in. I agree with Red myself.
I think Will is better off chasing that title and taking it back from from
MJF, expectally getting it back when he goes back to his home country.
It'll be a spectacular Matt, and I think he's gonna use either as five
head law like he likes to do, or he is going to use that
ring. Okay, what about you, Dad, what do you see happening?
Because I do have a follow up question for everybody here. I think
MJF will use his underhanded ways to win this, and I actually hope that
he does win because I'd like to see Osprey chase for his title back or
the title back, and maybe Osprey show us a little bit of his bad
side, get angry and all fired up, and it will be great.
If he goes home and beats mj and gets that back, it will be
all all the much better. So I think MJF will likely win this tomorrow
night, and it's gonna set up some really good storytelling, and as you
all know, I love storytelling, so I'm looking forward to it. Well,
one thing that nobody here mentioned, and it's directly related to what happened
last week with will Osbury. Remember last week, Will Ospray left to Don
Kallis family. So Don Kallas and the family, I mean, even Kyle
Fletcher was looking a little miffed. So do you guys think that the Don
Kallas family will somehow get involved in this match tomorrow night? I don't think
it'll be Don Kallis's family. I think it's gonna be Daniel Garcia. Really,
Okay, that's interesting. I think that if they don't have MVF win
the title tomorrow night, it's gonna be because he's attacked by Daniel Garcia.
Because Daniel Garcia he left him beating up pretty good. So well, the
only thing with Daniel Garcia, you know, and I don't know if you
guys will agree with this, is that Tony Kahn is well known to have
a slow burn booking style and Daniel Garcia just left so to be compialescing if
you will, and maybe it's too soon, and what else does everybody else
think? Well, maybe Daniel Garcia will come back and he's just that angry,
but he won't be that healed. And if the Callous family does try
to intervene, it's possible that Daniel Garcia pop up from somewhere, even not
at one hundred percent and keep them from, you know, messing with Osprey.
So I think anything is possible. I think Garcia needs to still that
meeting a little bit more before he comes back. I have to agree with
you. Let me throw another name out there. Maybe Redd wants to address
this. You know, we've talked about Daniel Garcia. What about Ricochet?
Ooh, I Ricochet may be coming out to help Osprey or well, in
my in my thought Red is that Don Callus family is going to get involved
in some way, whether it's the entire group or maybe just Kyle Fletcher,
maybe it's somebody else TAKESHTA or whatever. You know. Of course attacking will
Ospray, why not have Ricochet come out the way will Ospray and it's dynamite
two fifties. So something may happen. I mean, you got to give
it to Tony Kahn. He does know how to do a special show.
MJF has been known to solicit the services of other factions and not necessarily align
himself with them, So it's possible he could have hired Don Callis to come
help him that. I think that would be maybe something he would do.
I in terms of Ricochet, I think what I expect to happen. Is
I think they're gonna pretend like Hologram is Ricochet for a while. That's what
I would expect, But it's hard to say. I mean, I definitely
think nothing just canna win clean up with it that way. I don't know
if anyone's getting inter fear. I mean, he could use the ring,
he could use brass knuckles, a blow that he could use it for an
object under The ring doesn't have to come from outside or red. Did you
see Collision on Saturday night? I did, yes, Well, you know
that they did say that Hologram is going to debut well this week. They
didn't say whether it was going to be Dynamite or Collision, but I'm going
to assume that they meant collision because it seems like Hologram is going to be
a collision guy. Uh. They may very well make it to where Ricochet
is teased somewhat as Hologram, but pretty much everybody knows that it's aramis from
U Triple A. That is that is Hologram. So and I'm excited about
that because he's a he's a special town. I would personally like to say
the Arabys or hologram paired with Commander. He's Erbis is a little bit bigger
than Commander. He's like two inches taller, about maybe fifteen to twenty pounds
heavier, but they have very similar styles that I am a big Commander fan,
and he has jobbed so much. He's done, He's done the job
so much for AW I'd like to see him get a push because he's so
damn good. I agree, there, Calson, he deserves a push.
He's very good. You need to see more from him. He's Commander,
the one who does the rope ju He's the one who does the rope walks
and does the flippity floppity ship. Yeah, I don't like more power to
him. Wow, do you have something in sudden No, it's just the
flippity floppity shit. No, I mean I can see, so that's to
call it. I guess that's what it's cold. I mean, that's that's
I guess that's what it is. But the good thing about it is being
that it is dynamite two fifty. It is something that is I think most
of the matches have a little bit of uncertainty to them, so well,
No, I'm just saying that. That's why there's there's so many different things
that could happen in this match. You know, you could there's like we
we said, you know, maybe ricosiate come out and help. You've got
Don Callus maybe coming out. Maybe Don Callous will show up before the show,
before the match and try to make it look like he's working with MJF.
Who knows. I mean, that's the really awesome thing about tomorrow night.
It's gonna be one of those shows. Maybe it's just a draw,
time limit draw. Well, let's let's delve into the results of the polls
that we did on YouTube and and Reddit. When it comes to picking the
winner between MJF and Will Osprey was dead even it was fifty to fifty.
It fluctuated a little bit. It may be fluctuated now, but as of
beginning of this podcast, it was dead heat. But those two only got
thirty three percent of the vote. Sixty six percent of the people that voted
said it was going to end up in a no contest or draw. So
I think people were either expecting a time limit draw or some kind of outside
interference. That means that this batch ends in a no contest, which I
think is interesting because that's what's expected. Let's see what Tony Kahan has up
his sleeve. So let's I mean, I want to move on now because
we have a couple of really interesting things going on here. We have swer
Strickland versus and I know I say it wrong, but I have so much
fun saying it that I gotta say it the way I say it. Kazu
Chica Okata bitch? Did I say bitch out loud? Oh? Man?
Wow, Wow, you've bet up this podcast for all these munch and you're
surprised. No, it's not that. It's just that the bitch has infiltrated
our podcast and now it's being said every week. He's gotten to you.
Man, Well, look at my break capacity. This is true. This
is true. Don't agree with them, don't agree with me, So go
ahead and that save me. Where there's wrestling fans everywhere. Like I meet
a wrestling fan at work in a doorway, I say can I help you?
So? Or somebody opens the door for me, I say, can
I help you? So? It's not just the bitch. I'm glad somebody
doesn't hold the door open to you. As you walk by, you say
bitch. But anyway, that's this is a champion versus champion match, but
there's no belt or anything up for grabs here, so it's more like a
battle for pride. What do you do? Do you have any idea?
What's something's got to give in this match? I mean, there's got to
be a purpose behind it. Obviously, swear Strickland did you know, put
his name in the hat as part of Team A W four Blooded Guts,
which is next week, isn't it? And so obviously we're gonna probably get
some kind of interference between Elite and maybe somebody else comes out to confront the
Elite when they come out to confront Swerve Strickland and possibly Mark Briscoe at the
same time, and they declare for Team A. W uh, Because Team
Elite has already filled out, we still got what two empty slots, well
three technically, but I think everybody kind of expects Darbi Alla to be to
be one of them. So what are you guys thinking about this match?
I mean it seems to be like the purpose of this match is just to
set up blood and Guts. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I was
gonna say the same thing. I'm assuming Darby will come out because it's two
fifty. He'll be there. The Cleian haven't aligned with this yet. For
Blood and Guts, they not officially. Okay, not officially because I wouldn't
see them not being in it since it's the tag. Well yeah, because
of the tag titles. But yeah, it's gonna be interesting. I think
it'll be a hell of a match if it goes to the distance. And
I don't know. A Car hasn't lost yet, has he? I don't
believe, so this will be his first loss. I think it'll be his
first loss. I think this is gonna end up in a brawl. They're
all going to try to uh, they at least gonna try to keep their
way into winning it. I don't see a purpose of having Ocauda's first loss
be on a regular Dynamite. I think his first loss needs to be in
a pay per view and be in a big way. So I'm wondering who's
going to be on Team a W I know, I thought I saw where
SDR was back, so I don't know who's all joining. I know Darby,
But then if they do that, it's just going to be a remix
of what they had last time, so I was hoping for new people,
So I don't know what's gonna happen. Yeah, I mean, do you
claim who have thrown their ring? You know their hat in the ring.
But now FTR is back? Who would you rather see? MKA? Would
you rather see FDR in this match with you know, meaning blood guts?
Or would you rather see do you claim I would rather see they claimed?
I love FDR, don't get me wrong, but I've seen f tr rthy
jumbucks so many times that I want to beat my head against the wall,
So I think the faces in there would help. What about you, Red?
Would you rather see f t R? Would you rather see the Acclaimed
in this match? And what are your thoughts on this match? Definitely rather
see the Acclaimed? I think you know shy have Mark Briscoll obviously. I
think we all expect Darby to join again sort of kind of a new team
a W or all younger wrestlers other than Mark Briscoe, who you know.
I mean, he's new to a new ished a W I suppose, right,
but I think you know you expect to see people swerve his wrestled with
before he's worked with the Acclaimed, He's worked with Darby Allen, so I
think it would fit for the sort of story arc he's been going on.
In terms of the match this week against Okada, I think Darren belts on
the line, so you'd think that that means Okada might win. That's I
think what conventional booking would say. Tony Kinson always a conventional booker, but
I think it's probably more likely this ends. Uh, this match is thrown
out. It's going to become a fuster cluck if they claims you're going to
come in. I think the young bucks are going to come in the ring.
I think Jack Perry is going to enter the ring. I think Darby's
going to enter the ring and probably hang in in. Mark Briscoe, uh,
and Richter, don't forget Cindy there you go? Yeah, yeah,
I mean that. What are your thoughts? I don't know. I think
that as far as Swear been Okada go, I'm I don't know where I
am with that one. I really don't know who's gonna win there. I
mean, I like them both, but I don't know. I kind of
think that Swerve might come out ahead and that they're saving Ocada's, like someone
else said, saving Ocada's loss for somewhere down the line or I don't know,
but I think with the with the Young Bucks that they are probably planning
some kind of big, ridiculous celebration considering, you know, they haven't really
celebrated their belts and maybe when they're you know, coming out there and talking
about themselves, they'll get jumped by either FTR or more than likely the Acclaimed.
I would rather see them and the Acclaim go head ahead. I'm very
tired of FTR at this point. I think Darby Allen is gonna get involved,
and that's gonna make Jack Perry get involved. So I don't know.
It leaves me with a lot of questions. I'm just looking forward to it
to see what happens. Yeah, I'm surprised that they didn't announce Jack Perry
versus Darby Allen match for tomorrow night. I do want to move on because
we've got more champions and matches. We've got Mercedes Monett, who's this two
belts right now against forber aw Women's World Champion Nyla Rose. Now, the
TBS title is up for grabs on this match, and that's the only title
that's up for grabs in this match, and you know what, I haven't
seen it out on it. It would make perfect sense for Nyla Rose to
win this match. But then again, for me, it made perfect sense
for me to sheer Kawa to win her match at Forbidden Door. That didn't
happen. But it does make sense that Nyla Rose can win this belt,
and I actually would like to see that happy because as everybody knows, I
am not a fan of a wrestler holding two belts. I really am not,
and Nyla Rose would be a terrific a w TBS champion. What do
you guys think about that? I miss Nyla Rose. I'm not gonna lie.
Uh. He's fantastic face. Uh, fantastic deal. He makes me
laugh quite a bit. And I don't think the Britt Baker uh Monette needs
a title belt and balld, so I think that could be a benefactor to
a benefit to Nyla and maybe have h Britt Helper out and win. I
don't I don't know, very unlikely to me that she probably will win,
but I would have no problem with Nyla winning go ahead. In all honesty,
I really don't see now how Nila loses this match because she is.
To me, she's such a better wrestler than Mercedes is. And I've said
it before and I'm not going to keep saying it, but it makes no
sense for for for Mercedes to win a match that she's out matched. She
doesn't have the power. There's there's absolutely no she has no way of defending
against now the power, and it would be nice to see now to win
the title. And we have a wild Alex just arrived at the chat.
How you doing, Alex? Yeah? Great, I arrived perfect time to
hear Elf trashing Mercedes on that I it's literally been doing it for the last
half hour. I'm glad you came here to shut them up. Anyway.
I thought that was being nice because you know, even though we normally don't
do this, because it's died of my two fifty. We are going through
the matches. You've already talked about the swer Strickland and Cousin Chico Kata match,
We've already talked about the NJAF and Will Osprey match. We are currently
talking about the Mercedes Monet and Nyla Rose match, and Alex, I'll just
throw it to you. Do you see any chance whatsoever of it's for the
TBS Championship only. Do you see any chance whatsoever Nyla Rose walking out of
this match with the TBS belt tomorrow night. No, I think there's like
a zero percent chance. I like Nyla, She's a lot of fun,
but yeah, it seems like they don't really care about her. They don't
feature her. She gets she shows up every few months on TV, it
seems, and loses a match or wins the match, and then loses a
title match right after. Yeah, I think there's zero percent chance in Nyla
winning here. Does anybody else have any opinions on this? I guess not,
So let's us move on. I'll just take care of this entire segment.
Alex, you can kind of look and see what you want to talk
about next. Let's move on to the Mariah May speaks. I mean,
we just had. As Alex said last week, he gave him chills what
happened at the end of Dynamite last week, and now we're finally going to
hear from Mariah May. I hope that Mariah May comes out and only Mariah
May comes out, because I really want to hear Mariah May talk. I
want to see what she can do. I want to hear what she can
do. I want to see we already know she makes great faces and she
gives good bosom. So what do you expect? What do you want to
see from Mariah May tomorrow night? I think yeah, like exactly like you
said, I don't want it in like her starting to speak and Tony Storm
comes out. You want to see a good five to ten minutes of Mariah
May just telling us why she did what she did, laying out her evil
plan. Yeah, I'm really excited for this. This is was such a
great way to end Last Dynamite, and I think this, even with the
awesome matches that we're getting tomorrow, this is kind of what I'm most excited
to see. Really, Okay, fair enough, Yeah, I think it'll
be interested. Go ahead, Okay, So I'm interested in seeing where Mina
Shirkkawa place in this, if she was helped behind it, or if she
or if she stands with Tony a little bit and she's surprise. I know
on Twitter she well or one of the platform she was surprised by it.
But I want I want Mariah's pet fire basically and say why she did it?
You know, the old villain, the old villain soliloqually type thing,
and she really needs to stand out and I think she has and I think
she could. Yeah, she does a great promo. I think she's well
on her way to being World Women's Champion. There's there's no stopping here at
this point. It's her to lose. She has the momentum, right,
but what do you got? Yeah, so you know, I expect her
to come out do all that, and then you know, Tony is gonna
come out tomorrow night. Hopefully we can get it a good ten minutes,
but she's got to come out. But it'll be interesting to see what she
looks like when she comes out. Is she gonna be stitched up? Is
she gonna be wearing a bandage? Is this going to affect her demeanor?
Is she gonna start down that dark path to the darkness that we all expect
her to in the end. So, I mean it's gonna be a very
interesting thing. It's one of the ones that I'm looking forward to tomorrow too.
Well, right, what do you expect from Ariah May tomorrow night?
How do you expect Tony Storm to also show up? Or do you think
it'd be better. Maria Age was alone oftentimes in wrestling, less is more,
so I think you just you let her go out there five to ten
minutes, let the segment breathe, let her live on its own, let
her explain her motives, what she's been doing, why she's been doing it,
and obviously the end goal is all in, so address that. And
I think, you know, we have I think six more episodes of Dynamite
after two fifty until all in. That's plenty of time to grow in Mina
Shirkawa, let Tony Storm respond and go on from there. So I hope
she comes out tomorrow and has her moment five ten minutes and gets to just
got a great promo because she's capable of doing that. Red. There was
a question that I asked last week on the podcast, and I want to
present it to you because you weren't here last week, and I want to
see what your thoughts are on this. Mariah May has Mina Shirakawa in her
corner. I really believe that. I don't think that that is going away.
I think Mina Shrikala will be in Mariah May's corner as her friend.
Who does Tony Storm have? Do you see anybody coming to Tony Storm's a
not even physically, but even as just a motivation. No, I don't,
because Tony Storm has made nothing but enemies, whether that's Thunderosa when they
were friends, whether that's the outcasts. Uh, She's made nothing but enemies.
And I think she's only trajectory and has been that. She's a starlet,
and I think the Crash is going to be as great as the Rise
was, and I think I do expect her to lose that title, and
I think that she's going to be alone, and I think we're going to
see her evolve into someone who's even crazier than she's been so far. And
I think it's going to be great. Right, Yeah, we're all looking
forward to the meltdown, which I think is inevitably coming. Matt, what
do you think on this? What are you looking forward to Mariah May doing
tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to her explaining why she did what she did
and talking about where she is going to go from here. Is she just
going to be more censored on herself? Does she plan on joining Mira and
becoming you know, women's team partners? But I I mostly want to hear
why she did what she did, and and why she chose that moment to
do that to Tony because there were a couple of other times where I thought
that she might turn on Tony and she didn't. So I was starting to
get the feeling that she was never going to and I was surprised that she
actually did it. So I'd like to hear about the why and the how.
And I also would like her maybe to just go wild and threatened Nigel's
life once and for all. So, oh that would be sweet. The
threatened Nigel. We don't want Yes, I'm the biggest. Well, this
will get him involved in a story. Yeah, see, it'll be good
for us all and the versus Nigel will get Mariah May versus Nigel all out.
Oh god. But look, so there's only one section segment left in
uh Dynamite, and we'll just briefly cover that, and that is the learning
Tree. Sorry, guys, that's the end of the segment. We've got
to move on. That was the horn, Alex, what do you want
to talk about next? Oh? Man, that was the last segment.
I can see. Well, no, Darby Allen promised that he had something
planned for Jack Perry and the elite. I guess that segment. Yeah,
we already talked about. Okay, so the Learning Tree. Yeah, I
just hope book somehow is not involved. But I don't know. I don't
have a lot to say. I do like the Learning Tree, but I
just want them to be doing different things instead of the FTW hook Taz drama.
Yeah, but if it is another reason to keep Taz off commentary and
replace him with Nigel another week, I'm all for that. No for goes
off again. Oh gosh, anybody else have anything to say about the Learning
Tree? I was I thought it was cool how they how they took out
Samoa Joe and a nice way for him to go do his twisted metal stuff
again. It's a good segment. I just once again, I want to
er annoy that I'm tired of the FTWI belt and hook not needed again.
They need to find a way to get rid of it and make I don't.
I just don't like the belt. I never have and it's a waste
of time to me. Wow. Yeah, anybody anybody here to like the
FDW belt? I mean, Red, We've not heard from your your thoughts
on the FDW belt. I think it's kind of safe to say that we're
not like you don't. Some of us may not hate it, but some
of us don't think it belongs. I guess the title doesn't mean anything unless
it's being used effectively and being held by someone who's doing great things with it.
I think when Ricky Starks had it, it was I'm not going to
say prestigious, but it was interesting because it gave him a good reason to
wrestle good opponents. I fortunately, while I love Hook and I love his
character in the way he's portrayed, he's not the best inn ring worker.
He's very limited. He's got like five moves that cannot be used in rapid
succession, so it's hard for him because he can only work with so many
guys, and often he's been putting on rampage and things like that. So
I don't know if Jericho's the that I would have hold it because he's pediatric,
but he's not gonna. I'm not gonna say we should throw it in
the garbage, because I think it could be used effectively. I think if
someone got it and said that this is a world title and tried to make
it seem like it was important, that'd be interesting. But mm hmm,
anybody that could do that. Okay, I said, isn't that what Jeric
was trying to do is make it a little more relevant? I mean no,
no, not at all. He's making fun of it, I think
more than he's made than he's trying to make it relevant. But I don't
know. There's a bunch of guys I could think that they could do Wonders
with that title, and and I kind of agree with Red. It was
great back before Hook got involved with it, and then that kind of it
kind of dimmed it down and took away from its momentum. I have no
with the FTW belt as long as it's on somebody that can use it.
I would like to see someone like big Bill maybe get it and then have
him go up against some of the bigger guys that aren't really being used a
lot. The only way that I think that the FTW bell could be relevant
is we put it on MJF and that would be stupid. So I I
kind of like it as the trash like not trash, but it's like it
is the lowest wrong belt that there's a place for that. It's always hardcore
matches. That's fine, it's just just it just has to be Hook and
Taz and them involved in it so much as that's what I don't like about
it, Like, if they were going to get rid of a belt,
I would rather one of like the Internet International or Continental. Those seemed kind
of redundant at least the FTW belts just the hardcore low cart belt. Well,
we're Alex. Let's let's move on. I know that you had a
topic that you had said that you wanted to talk about, So let's talk
about that. What do you have Forrest Bell? Yeah? So Willow Nightingale
is the new CML Women's Champion, and it's pretty wild that she kind of
came out of nowhere to do that, being as that we saw Stephanie Vacour
I think just two or three weeks ago on Forbidden Door she was the champion,
she had a match against Mercedes Monet and now and we discussed i think
last week at one of our podcasts about her potentially joining aw Now we know
that's not the case. She's joined WWE, and there was a lot of
drama around that because how it happened, and I know there's there's definitely been
some backlash towards Stephanie Vacour from CMLL in New Japan for not leaving on the
best of terms. But then there's also this all this drama with Stephanie Vacour,
And I know I'm brutalizing her name. I think I've heard of say
it said many different ways. Yeah, and I know I'm not doing it
right, but probably not the worst rendition anyways. So she left CMLL not
on the best terms, but there's also all this drama with her, an
abuse of X who's now in jail in Mexico, who was an ex CMLL
wrestler. He has friends in CMLL, his friends even in AEW that we
know of. So it's tough to blame Stephanie Vakour for leaving CMLL, knowing
that there's probably a lot of backstage tension and maybe it's a toxic environment for
her. So the fact that she wanted to get out of there quickly,
I don't think we know enough to get upset with her for maybe handling things
that way. And now she's joined WWE, so I'm happy for her.
And it's also nice that AEW is able to lend out Willow Nightingale in this
situation and help them out and give them someone at last minute to carry that
title in the interim. Yeah, because well, if you look at the
CML roster to women's roster, they really don't have a huge women's roster and
so and when you look especially when you look at it with the New Japan
women's roster, because New Japan of course also own stardom, so they've got
that huge and talented starting roster with them. But CMLL is hurting just like
New Japan's men's roster. I wouldn't say it's hurting, but they're nowhere near
as solid as they were in the past. So it's interesting to see.
I'm really interested to see how Willow Nightingale is handled, how long she holds
the title, and if like CMLL, wrestlers come to AW to challenge Willow,
and if Willow goes to CMLL. And we've already seen Willow go to
Japan fairly recently, like three or four weeks ago, so could she go
to Japan and defend the cm CMLL title there Because CMLL and New Japan also
have somewhat of a good partnership going through AW, so this could really help
CMLL. James Notoriety in their women's division. Yeah, and to mention,
like, we've seen aw stock up on a bunch of men's free agents,
but we've also seen Stephanie Vcour and Julia recently sign with WWE, So they've
really been stalking up on the high end women's free agents. Right. Having
Willow with this belt, it's like, you know, now New Japan,
CMLL AW the women's division can all team up to make those divisions stronger,
just like you were saying. So it's interesting. It is like an arms
race on either side. Does anybody else have anything to say about the Willow
Nightingale with the CMLL title. I'm hold my tongue on this one. Nobody
anyone, But the only thing I can say is is I have no problem
with what the record chose to do. That's on her and that's nothing to
do with what happened. As for the use of these the people that have
gone to WWE's Julia hasn't been used very much. Well, she spent injured.
She just had batch back from injury this past week, okay, So
hopefully hopefully they'll use them better than because to me, the WWE's women's division
is not even close to the aw one. Well, that's arguable. Yeah,
I always I feel like their women's division is strong. Well, the
thing about it is they have well I guess Tony Conston is too, but
they have like four women that get all of the stuff. They get all
the matches on the main show. They may have a better one in NXT,
but it's not it's not the same thing. But again with Mercedes,
she can't from there. And like I always say, she has impressed me
as much as a W W E trained woman as it would be impressive in
the A A W the a W roster. I just she's not that impressive
to me. She's not here we go with some just we're talking about Willow
and all of a sudden with Willow. With Willow, she's been getting shoved
down everybody's throat lately. She's been given all these matches and I get that
that that they want her to be a star, but I just don't see
her that way. Well, the one thing that you have to give to
Willow, and I don't know if everybody else will agree with me on this,
is Willow has a tremendous worth work ethic. I was very vocal about
this when Willow was gearing up to her for her match with Julia Hart because
Willow seemed like she was getting gassed really really early in her matches, and
she has not been that way for several months now. So Willow has done
the work, and it's noticeable to me anyway, because she's able to have
a consistent match throughout the matches now and she's good. I mean, look,
we all know that everybody has different tastes. You know. There are
wrestlers that people like that I don't particularly care for Eddie k. Yeah,
and there are people that get paid a lot of money that Sutton doesn't like,
you know, Mercedes Bonet, and there are people and there are people
that everybody loves universally. Of course I'm talking about Sir Petico and you know,
and I just thought, I'm still waiting for Tony conn the book.
Sir Peteco all in, you know, should instead of zero hour zero Hour
Battle Royalit, Yeah, come out every big match and do his little finger
thing with the the Confettian just set it all off. Yeah, that they
should open the show with Sir Pentago every every week, but that would tick
off orgs Cassidy at John Moxley to no end, because I think they're contractually
obligated to share the opening match or opening segment in ninety percent of the shows.
So anyway, get him a great theme song? Be it all weird?
Well, I think Jane is available now. That would be very confusing.
Sir Pentico is very confusing to begin with these, John Cruise and Sir
Petico. Hey, you know what, his partner might be back soon,
because if if our women's champion goes off the deep ense, she might just
fire him, and Sir Pentacon might have his long lost buddy back. I
don't know. Poor Luther, Yeah, Luther, Luther. Luther is the
best butler on TV right now. You have to say wow. But anyway,
I digress. Does anybody else have anything to say about Willow Nightingales run
as a CMLL Women's World Champion? I'm sorry, I hope she gets to
work with thunder Rosa, who's expressed a lot of interest in working at CMLL.
When do you say work with thun Rosa? Do you mean as maybe
you know, versus thunder Rosa, or as a tag team partner with thunder
Rossa. Oh no, against thunder Rosa for the title. I was kind
of amazed that thunder Rossa was not the one to go to CMLL. I
mean, well, that's kind of a stereotypical thing to say, but maybe
they have bigger plans for a thunder Rosa. She's mentioned that she wants to
work in CMLL, something she's expressed interest in uh this year, and I
can't imagine they have answer her to be in a title picture. But I
could be wrong. Maybe she'll work with Maria made Well, you never know,
could have been visa issues even true true, you know, you just
never know. But anyway, you know what, I think that's gonna be
offered, and I think we'll wrap it up on that note. So you
know, glad that Alex got to get in here for a little bit red.
We loved having you, and uh, we will see you tomorrow night
for all the talk right after Dynamite. We're gonna see if any of the
stuff that we talked about for Dynamites two hundred and fifty episode actually comes true.
See who's been who is right in some of the things we said,
and who was way off? And of course when I say who is way
off, I am talking of course about myself, because when it comes to
predicting anything that has to do with wrestling. I am the worst. No
no, no, no, no, You're not worse than your buddy.
They can't pick the women's well, yeah, what ration binds picks a woman's
match? You just know who's gonna win because the opposite uh is have they
have they have they Nason over run tonight Tomorrow night. Yet it just seems
like they don't even have to announce it anymore. It's just gonna happen.
It's inevitable. I'm assuming that, I'm assuming that the Osprey uh I've caught
a match will be the final match there, Osprey and I caught a word
match will be the final man. I would assume that, you know,
I mean, yeah, although it could be Mercedes and Nyla Rose. If
Mercedes and Nyla Rose is the final match, then something's gotta happen. So
I'm just interested to see if, like there's got there's not that many matches
or segments already announced for Tomorrow night. I think we're gonna see some surprises
tomorrow night. So hold on to your hats, you know. That's all
I can say. I mean, it's gonna be an interesting night tomorrow night.
I can't wait but watch tomorrow night. I can't wait to do all
Lee Talk with everybody tomorrow night because I have a feeling we're gonna have a
lot to talk about tomorrow night after Dynamite. So for all Leak talk,
for all he talk, for Ignition and the aw fan Hub podcast team,
this is Kelson. H. Good night, everybody, Goodbye everyone, good
night, good night. H.
