Speaker 1: And nine cognition sequence sty six five four three two
one zero, All engine running.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for
ignition with the aw Fanhub podcast team. This is Kelson
and we've got a full house with us here tonight
and this is our AW Redemption preview and prediction show.
Before we get on with the preview on predictions, I
do want to make a couple of announcements really quick.
First of all, come chat with us tomorrow night or
Wednesday night, AW Dynamite, Saturday, AW Collision, and of course
Sunday for AW Redemption on both the aw fan Hub
subreddit and on the Everything Pro Wrestling Hub discord. They're
both a lot of fun, very active, a lot of
cool people. Make some friends, you know, don't watch these
shows alone. Make some friends. That's pretty much it. Of course,
we have ae W Dynamite Wednesday night. This match card
is up on the screen right now. If anybody and
the podcast team wants to be to put the Dynamite
match card back up because there are some matches that
possibly will have some you know, uh, well, what's the
word I've looked for? You know what I'm saying, Implications
I guess yeah, because yeah, you know, something to that effect.
For redemption and of course after after Dynamite, be sure
to join our friends Conrad Kushman and Derek Shelton over
at the ep W show YouTube channel that's Everything Pro
Wrestling at EPW Show on YouTube for their Wednesday night
AW Dynamite review show. It's a lot of fun, very interactive,
and like I said, it is, it's a lot of
fun and I think you'll enjoy it. I know. We
have a few people here that have been on the
show before and they do they call you out. And
if you're listening to the show right now we're watching
us live on YouTube, be sure to participate. Let us
know what your predictions are. And speaking of the predictions,
we have a AW redemption prediction pulls up on the
AW fan Hub subreddit right now. It's running all the
way until literally one minute before Redemption starts, since there
are no zero hour buy in matches made as of yet,
there's none of those. But just look at the top
of the subreddit you will see the graphic that you
see basically up on the screen. You just click on
those little icons and it'll bring you to the poll
for that match. Vote the polls. All right, guys, Speaking
of polls, we did a poll also for what do
you think will be the main event at AW Redemption,
And I, being the clearvoyant person that I am, came
up with the graphic for what I think should be
the main event paid Maker versus Tamaso Champa nor you
know what? No, okay, I'm just saying, okay, here's the
actual results of the main of the of the poll.
As you can see, with forty nine percent people think
Kenny Omega versus Kevin Knight should be the main event.
Twenty nine coming in second twenty nine percent Tecla against
Willow Nightingale. Now, I did this graphic pretty early this morning.
There was already five hundred and seventy two votes, so
it's probably creeping a little bit closer, like six hundred
or six twenty five now, but I'm sure you know well,
throughout the entire voting process, these percentages of pretty much
stayed the same, you know, But every match got a vote,
although I will say with the Tomasso Champlain Painmaker Chris
Jericho match, somebody did say I voted for it because
I felt bad, But anyway, it was a sympathy vote.
You know, yeah, so, but I don't know whether you
guys voted in the poll or not. But I want
to hear from you, which which are these matches that
are on the there's eight matches on the redemption card.
Which ones are? Which match do you think should be
the main event?
Speaker 3: And why? I no, no, okay.
Speaker 2: No no no no go no no go no no
go go ahead, go ahead, Jess.
Speaker 4: My brain says Kenny Omega versus Kevin Knight, but my
heart wants Techla versus Willow. Every time I see Tecla
on my screen, I just love her a little bit.
More like if something doesn't happen soon, she just may
in croach on Tony Storm's place as number one best girl.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what wins Jess the head or her heart?
Speaker 4: I know, probably probably my head, Probably Kenny.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Chris, go ahead.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say I did vote in the poll, and
I did vote for Kenny versus Keaven as the main event.
I love Techla, I love Willow. Just said tech was
just insanely entertaining and fun to watch. But the story
just isn't fair on that match. You know, it's there's
not been a whole lot of great build for it.
I'm not gonna say there's been a whole lot of
great build for Kenny versus Kevin either. But traditionally, the
Men's World Heavyweight Title main offens the show unless there
is a match where the story demands it, and in
this case, there isn't a match like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to let's see rollins, let's see what
you have to say.
Speaker 5: So, just to touch on Chris's points super quick, like,
I think it was at Russell Dream where the I
quit match Maine evented the show over the world title.
I believe that was the case if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, that's happened.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: But anyway, the match I would want to main evate
is actually John Moxley and Will Ospray versus the Young
Bucks because Will Osprey is going to be challenging for
the World Championship at w and he's gonna be involved
with the Death Riters and John Moxley, but he has
history with the Young Bucks, So to me, that match
has a lot going into it, so to me it
should be in the main event. Plus Osprey against the
Box is just.
Speaker 2: So that's is that I don't want to go and
I don't want this segment to be a half hour long.
Is that your pick for the main event?
Speaker 5: No, but my pig is actually Kebby versus Kevin Knight
because it's for the world title.
Speaker 2: Okay, Net, let's go to you.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be.
Speaker 7: Kenny versus Kevin Knight, but I think the Bucks versus
Mox and Osprey is actually gonna steal the show.
Speaker 2: Okay, Val, I know what you're gonna pick. So I
don't even know why I called your name.
Speaker 8: Well, since I'm gonna be at the show.
Speaker 2: You're going to be at the show, not on the show.
Speaker 8: I will be at the show. I will be at
the Bell Center. I will be I will be there.
Speaker 9: So I want to see Kevin versus Kenny for the
main event and it has to be.
Speaker 8: And I agree with Nett on the young.
Speaker 9: Bucks versus Marx and Osprey stealing the show, and I
predict that they will open the show.
Speaker 2: Okay. And if you look at the graphic next to
Techlan willanot Nightingales twenty nine percent, you'll see a little
reddick guy next to the twenty nine percent that's because
that's what I voted for Techland. Willow Nightingale absolutely should
be the main event of the pay per view, I
do understand, and a lot of people did say this
in the comments section that and I believe somebody even
said it here. I think it was Chris. The main
eventtion always be the Men's World Championship. I call that bullshit. Sorry,
it is the most meaningful match would be the main event,
and I'm sorry, but we'll get into it because we're
going to do our predictions right now. Are you ready.
I'm stalling because I'm on the wrong screen and I
don't have the graphics up.
Speaker 7: I thought you were making's voice and.
Speaker 3: What I still have called so.
Speaker 2: So my voice will go really low like this, and
what that is is just flim Yeah you, so, so
let's go. Let go ahead.
Speaker 4: When people tell you who they are, you should believe.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, well let's get with the actual predictions.
By the way, when it comes to the predictions, I
want everybody to keep in mind we're not only picking
the winner to losers. We want to also think about
how the match themselves develops the story, because sometimes the
match the story development is more meaningful than the match,
and you know what I mean. And also keep in
mind that there may be debuts and returns during some
of these matches, so keep them in mind as well.
So let's get on with the main event. That was
not flem, that was just me doing a announcer's voice.
It the main event, yes, and that's gonna be Kenny
Omega versus Kevin Knight. If you are looking at the screen,
I actually have the results eyes of right now, actually
as of earlier this morning. On all these screens you'll
see the results from earlier this morning. Again, these prediction
polls will be going on literally until six fifty nine
pm on Sunday evening. But right now, Kenny Omega has
ninety seven percent of the vote and three percent of
the votes are for Kevin Knight in what people are
saying is going to be the main event of AW Redemption.
What are your predictions for this match?
Speaker 4: I think Val will be happy with the result, but
not surprised. I agree with the fact that Kenny is
not losing this one in any way, shape or form.
But I will say as an addendum that I think
the story that's sort of cropped up around this has
become very interesting. There seems to be a battle brewing
for what's left of Kevin Knight's soul. Kenny seems to believe,
as does Speedball, that Kevin can still be redeemed. But
Darby and Max who says you should believe people when
they tell you who they are, I do not think so,
and believe he should be put down like the rabbit
dog he is.
Speaker 2: You know, Jess, I want to break in here because
you said something that really really makes a lot of
difference in these predictions. You said that Speedball and who
else Osprey or who are Kenny Ken? Kenny Omagan thinks
that Kevin and I can still be redeemed. The name
of the pay per view is redemption. And I'm sure
you probably said that purposely, but I want to keep
you know, that's part of the story, so that that's
a very good point, Jess, all right, who else had
who wants to predict next?
Speaker 3: Well? I was part of that nine who predicted Kenny
would win, and I stick by that. I think this
match is going to be a sort of a coming
out for Kevin Knight, like because I do think it
will be the main event. It will be like, okay,
even if he doesn't win the match, which I don't
think he will, he if he has an amazing match
with Kenny in the main event, it shows, Okay, he
can be that he can be that main event talent
in the future.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you're not alone in not thinking he's gonna
win this match. After all, ninety seven percent of the
people don't think he's gonna win the match.
Speaker 7: What's go next, I'll go I think Kenny is going
to win, but I think it's going to be very,
very good. Kevin Knight is a good wrestler. But I
have a feeling about this match that somehow Darby Allen
is creeping around and he is going to harass the
heck out of Kevin during this match to you know,
even if it's just distracting him, and I think somewhere
down the line, Kevin is going to use that to
have a rematch with Kenny, you know, by saying I
would have won if it wasn't for Darby Allen. And
that may even kick off a little bit of a
feud between Kenny and Darby because I as I watch
wrestling in general, it seems like no one really loves
Darby Allen in the wrestling, you know, the other wrestlers,
they kind of tolerate him, and that's just how he
comes off to me. He gets on everybody's nerves at
one point or another, and they kind of tolerate his
interference and all the things that he does.
Speaker 6: But there nobody's really a big.
Speaker 3: Fan of his.
Speaker 7: And I think he's gonna stir up some stuff and
he's gonna get both Kenny and He's good and rage
Kevin Knight to a point we've never seen before. So
I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 6: I think Darby Allen is really funny.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think Kenny is definitely gonna win this,
but Kevin's gonna get to show his stuff.
Speaker 2: I want to break in here just to give a
shout out to the people in the chat. Sorry for
not doing this earlier. Fly Way Rex says, where's my
secos at? And then of course Jocelyn is here again.
How you doing? Jocelyn says, hey, y'all, and our good
friend Wolf with probably my sentiment exactly, he says, if
Kevin Knight wins, I'll eat a squirrel. I'll help you both.
I'll eat two squirrels. Yes, well, Rawlin's go ahead.
Speaker 5: First of all, Net, it's interesting you bring up Darby
because he's facing Kevin Knight Tomorrow night on Dynamite for
the TNT Championship. So is Kevin Knight even gonna be
the TNT champion going into Redemption on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yes, he is. Walls. Also keep in mind there is
no Darby Allen on this card yet for redemption. It
just wanted to say that there's a.
Speaker 7: Running around in the dirt.
Speaker 5: There's also no Speedball on this card yet either, which
is very interesting and very peculiar. Might I say, because
I thought he was gonna be the one facing Kevin
Knight for the TNT title and that would be Speedball's redemption.
But in terms of this, I think they're using this
to see if Kevin Knight is ready to be a
main eventor ah like, if he can put on a
good match with Kenny where he has some believable uh balls,
I think the right word. Then I think that that's
more what they're using this match for.
Speaker 2: Rollins. But don't you already think that Kevin Knight has
already proven that he's a good main eventor because he's
main evented recent Dynamites like he challenged for the AW
World Championship when Darby Allen.
Speaker 6: Held it, you're not wrong, calls him.
Speaker 5: But to me, there's a difference between maine eventing an
episode of Dynamite and main eventing a pay per view.
Speaker 2: That's fair enough.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was gonna say the exact same thing once
when tells him said, it's like because he's main event,
it's a whole different bull game being able to main
event a pay per view.
Speaker 5: Granted, I will say Kevin Knight did close out double
or nothing with the heel turn, but that's not the
same thing as actually being in the main event.
Speaker 2: Let me let me give it a opinion real quick here.
Isn't it fair to say that, with Kenny Omega in
the aw fano predition polls getting ninety seven percent of
the votes and Kevin Knight only getting three percent of
the votes, that the aw fanhoub community at least doesn't
think Kevin Knight is ready for the main event in
a pay per view.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that me either, Okay.
Speaker 2: Val, I mean who hasn't who hasn't given their opinion yet?
Just Val, Chris, you've given yours, Okay, Val, break out
those pomp Poms. Miss Omegafan the.
Speaker 8: Pomp Poms already. So yeah, uh well, it's obvious that
Kenny is gonna win.
Speaker 9: I mean, I could he not because the rumors were
that he was supposed to win in Montreal against MJF.
Speaker 8: So since the match got pushed like two weeks ago,
I was hoping.
Speaker 10: To see him in Montreal, and now that he is,
I'm super, super super happy, and I'm super happy that
I'm bringing my daughter with me so that she can
witness how great he is.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, and I hope you have a
really good time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's so great.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a graduate it's a graduation present that I
that I got hers.
Speaker 3: That's so sweet.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 9: She's seventeen and it's like her second time that she
ever went to a wrestling show, so it's it's gonna
be fun. So everyone was going to my opinion, Oh yeah,
Kenny's gonna win, and I agree with everybody else.
Speaker 8: There's no Speedball on the card. There's no Derby on
the card, so I'm hoping that I'm.
Speaker 9: Seeing something something with them, maybe interfering, probably more Speedball
than Dark.
Speaker 8: I'm crossing my fingers for more Speedball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean, if I can add something,
because it's basically it's sort of been rolling around in
my head since something rawlins, since Land.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of there's a lot of stuff that's
rolling around your head quite obviously.
Speaker 3: Jess, ha ha ha ha ha ha. No, it's ha No.
Speaker 4: I think mentioned the possibility of Darby interfering in this match. Yeah,
what if Speedball like it runs interference on Darby's interference.
Remember he still thinks that Kevin can be redeemed. So
if Darby like runs in trying to mess things up
for Kevin, I can see Speedball maybe running in to
neutralize him.
Speaker 7: One thing I had that idea. I agree with you.
But you know what I kind of think is gonna
happen with Speedball. I think he actually is going to
get his hands on Don Kallas. Yeah, and that's what
I think he's going to do, because if you remember,
he's at home too, and Kenny already hates Don Kallas
like a thousand suns. I think that Speedball is going
to actually put hands on Don Kallas. That's that's my
interesting I see, I would too. Let's hope Finger's cross.
Speaker 2: I do want to go to the chat. I want
to go to the chat real quick, you know, because
Jocelyn has made some pretty good points here. She says,
we know Kenny's winning, Kevin's being pushed to be the
next star. I've seen negative comments about this match, but
like Conrad said on his show, you Not, you can't
complain that there aren't any new wrestlers being pushed, but
then complain about Kevin Knight being in the main event. Chris,
you had something you wanted to say.
Speaker 3: I was gonna kind of mention the whole Speedball, like
just the whole soul of Kevin Knight, you know, can
he be redeemed or is he too far gone? Has
been a deal? I kind of think maybe there's going
to be a point where the rest gets knocked out.
Don Kallas gives Kevin the screwdriver, but he's kind of
like he's he's gearing up for it, but he's kind
of holding back. I think Speedball will come down and
you know, try to talk him out of it, and
it'll end up leading to some confusion. B trigger one Wing,
d Angel done stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I want to give you my opinion on this now,
my prediction. I really don't have a prediction for this
match because I don't believe this match should even happen.
It's a very poor match. I'm sure that it will
be a banger, don't get me wrong, but you can't
have banger just for the sake of heaven bangers. I
hope that at the end of this match there is
a big story, a big something that happens, because this
match is awful. I don't believe this match would happened
if it was me. I put Kenny Omega with the
Young Bucks against John Moxley and oh Will Osprey and
somebody else, Daniel Garcia, Daniel Garcia, Wheeler, you'd to whoever
you know or somebody else from the back. But this
match is meaningless and Kevin Knight is going to lose
this match, which I hope that he doesn't lose it
cleanly because of clean low. He's already lost in the
main event recently to Darby Allen for the aw World Championship.
This is hurting, this is not helping him. Darby Allen
did not help anybody in his championship run, which was
preposterous in my opinion, and I think that this is
just a poor thing to do to Kenny Kevin Knight.
I'm a Kevin Knight fan. I mean Keviny Kenny omegafan too,
but this match should just not happen in my opinion.
That's my opinion. So I don't really have a prediction
on this. It's going to be a banger match, but
I don't care wins, to be honest with you, because
it's a match you shouldn't happen.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I kind of agree with what you said. What
you said, Gelson, because when I watched last week the
promo between Kenny and Kevin, Kevin in the MICM not
buying it one bit.
Speaker 8: He's not at the level of promos as Kenny does.
Speaker 6: What are you talking about?
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no, no, I didn't
buy it. I didn't buy it.
Speaker 6: You're kidding me, right'.
Speaker 3: I'm not what promo bet a face that?
Speaker 6: No, no way. He's a great since Turny Deel, I
think his since he's turned heel, he has skyrocketed and
I think this is just gonna keep helping him. I
am way more invested in him as a heel. Actually
he's been. I've quickly become a Kevin Knight fan since
he came into a w when he turned heel. I
was like, yes, this is what you need.
Speaker 2: Ros. Let me ask you this, Rowins. Do you think
that Kevin Knight has a bit of a swerve Strickland
kind of swagger to him.
Speaker 6: Yes, if those I think you should have put him
with Swerve, not the Don Kallis family. His swerve is
great at what I I would say is being a chameleon,
like he's not a true based, not a true heel.
Why he's great at you know point whatever role like
in is sewed with Kenny Swerve was the true heel.
Kevin Knight, I think could do that same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, well let me just break in real quick
because Jocelyn and the chat says, ooh, no one is
thinking that Kyle may interfere. Of course she's referring to
Kyle Fletcher. Ye so, and Flyboy Rex says, why would
he interfere? But Jocelyn has an answer to yet, So
I will break in with Jocelyn's answer. If she does answer,
go ahead, I'm sorry, nett Oh.
Speaker 6: That's okay.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 7: I was thinking along the same lines that if Kevin
Knight is like anyone in my opinion, He is a
lot like Kyle Fletcher.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 7: Boastful about himself and his wrestling abilities. He kind of
carries himself the same way. He keeps calling himself Kevin
two belts. I would say if he is like anyone,
I would more so compare him closely to Kyle Fletcher
than Swerve.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't see him and Swerve being very similar.
Speaker 2: That's and I do want to move on because I
don't want to spend the rest of the show talking
about this one match that is ninety seven percent to
three percent for you know, it's weird. Jocelyn did answer,
He says, She says that I watched the rest of
the family when Don talks about Kevin, Kyle's been making faces. Well, Jocelyn, yes,
he has, But Kyle always makes makes faces. He looks
like he's a perpetual constipation.
Speaker 6: And I was fine to use super quoi about Batkelson.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 6: So if you watched during that segment with McK foley
and all that on Beach Break, when Kevin Knight came out,
Kyle Fletcher is just staring in a hole through him
while Stan while Stan while they're like basically in back
of each other.
Speaker 2: Okay, but again Kyle Fletcher stares holes through everybody though.
Watch him. He's just not a good guy. He hates
his teammates, he hates his family, he hates everybody. How
you know, how you know, Let's move on, because again
we need to talk about actually one of the actual
decent matches. Uh Tecla defending the AW Women's World Championship
against Willow Nightingale. In the AW Fanheart Prediction poll, Teclas
sixty percent to Willow Nightingale's forty percent. But a lot
of these boats this poll has been up for a while.
Keep in mind at Tecla is now. I voted for Tecla,
you know, but uh now, Tecla and the Sisters of
Sin are the Artist of Stardom champions, and I think
that throws a little bit of a wrench into things.
But I want to give you guys opinions. Who do
you think is going to win this match? Do you
have any do you have any you know, story predictions.
Speaker 6: I hope Willow does not win this match. I don't
want to see another Willow versus Mercedes match. I've seen
that enough. I agree, it's not interesting to me. Same
Tacla versus Mercedes, please and thank you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would agree with that, but I would like
to have a match with Tecla where if she loses,
she can no longer run around saying dumb bitches. You
I'm really tired of her calling everyone that she got
me one time when all the women were in the
ring and she said, there are a lot of dumb
bitches in the ring. Okay, that was funny, but I
mean they need to have a match where they make
her retire that phrase. It's it's good that she says it,
but it would drive her crazy if she couldn't say
it anymore.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, no, she was called them all dumb bitches,
but she also called half of them hot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, motivated men, Sira Cola.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, Well who else? Who else has a
prediction for this match?
Speaker 3: I think you're You're mentioning that they won the Artists
to start him championship is a good point. And I
won't Techu to win this match, not because I just
like Willow. I loved she is awesome to pave with
the power. She freaking rules like I love Willow, but
Techle versus Mercedes is the more interesting match to me.
But like you said, than winning the Artists of Theradim
Championships has me, you know, really unsure now right?
Speaker 2: Flyboy Rex made a comment in the chat, and I'm
gonna hold off on saying what he said in the
chat until I speak because I agree with you, fly Boy,
So when we get to my portion of this, I
will say what you said. Who else?
Speaker 6: What's up?
Speaker 4: Bitches?
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: I am?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not a bitch. Though I'm a biscuit.
Speaker 4: Eater, I am totally proteckling in this match. I agree,
like I love Willow to death, but she just got back.
Let somebody else have a turn, and we really don't
need to see her versus Mercedes again. Uh, Techla versus Mercedes.
Like I can just imagine the lead up to the match.
This is gonna be so much fun if it happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody else that is there anybody that hasn't given
their opinion yet?
Speaker 4: I haven't go for it.
Speaker 9: Well, it's Techla Techla versus Mercedes at all?
Speaker 8: In please thank you? That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 2: Anybody else before I give my opinion? Is anybody else
not gone? Okay? So I'm with everybody, I voted for Tecla.
I do not want to see Mercedes versus Willow. And
I've said this, I believe I said it last week.
Is that I think this is kind of stupid because
Willow Nightingale gave up, vacated the TBS Championship because of injury.
The TBS Championship was decided on July first, and then
one week later Willow wins the Casino was it the
Casino Gauntlet? Yeah, and one week later she wins the
Casino Gauntlet to become to you know, to get this
championship match of redemption. It just does not make any
sense to me. And I'm big on logic. You know,
you vacate a championship that they could have just let
her sit on her butt and get healthy or whatever.
This is just this is just a kpe a way
of getting the belt off of her without her losing,
in my opinion, getting the TBS title off of her
without her losing. And I think it's terrible. What I
will I will say is I do believe now that
because Tecla and the Sisters of sinnate an Artist to
Stardom champions that Willow is in fact going to win
this match. As I said earlier, Liboy Rex made a
comment in the chat and this is what he said
that I completely agree with. Tecla is money carry Cary
is going to debut during this match, and I absolutely
agree with that. Friday Friday, Kyrie saying's urk is. It's Carrie.
It's Carrie saying but I call her Kari for whatever reason.
Kyrie saying is is actually the right way to pronounce it.
But her her ninety days is up on Friday, so
she definitely can be signed and ready to go for Sunday.
So I think you're going to see somebody come out
and in a hoodie. It may have an AW emblem
on it, it may have a Stardom emblem on it,
it may have both emblems on the hoodie, but it
is going to be Kyrie saying she is going to
interfere in this match. She's going to cost Tech with
the AW Women's World Championship will all We'll go on
to all in as the as the Women's World Championship
face Mercedes, Monette, Tecla and the Sisters of Sin will
go on to all In to defend the Artist of
Stardom Championship against Kyrie, saying and uh and probably two
of the cosmic angels. Hopefully that's the points and sorry
I knew, but we don't know. The one thing that
I do not like about that scenario that I just
outlined is that there's just seems to be like there's
too much fan service going on all in and it's
gonna be a really predictable fan service show. And I
don't think that's the way they need to go. I mean, yes,
Willow is popular, she's gonna get a pop. You've got
to go for good story and not for the pop.
And I think Techla as the world champion going all
in against Mercedes is the better story.
Speaker 6: I feel like her train as being as great as
I wanted it to be, at least for me personally,
it feels like she has it had that one big
feud For me, I really get investigate. It's like, oh,
she's having a title defense at this pay per view, okay.
Speaker 2: But the thing that with Tecla, though, rawlins, is that
the thing with Tecla is that she's made the aw
Women's World Championship entertaining, and also she has made a
point of in my opinion, elevating mid carters, which is
really needed, same thing that I admire Mercedes for doing
when she was a TBS championship.
Speaker 6: I agree, I still feel like she hasn't had that
one major feud for me to truly.
Speaker 2: No, No, I can understand what you're saying, but that's
not Techla's fault. That is definitely a booking club, and.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure at Techla's fault either. That's not I'm
not holding that against her specifically. I'm just saying that's
my criticism of her title reign.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, Chris, you were gonna break in with something here.
Speaker 3: A few things I will saying. You know, I kind
of agree with Rollins. There hasn't been a few I've
really got invested in, but I've got invested in tech Club.
The character of the Gammack agree, the swagger, the aura,
Like I'm invested in tech Club. I want to see
frickin' tech Club like she is so entertaining, so great,
like her matches are always good. I was also gonna
say I want Techla to win because I don't want
either a transitional champion or Mercedes Bonett losing the title match.
It all in for a second year in a row.
Although I think you are one hundred percent right on
what will end up happening with the whole tyrie saying
and the artists for Stardom titles and all of that,
but I want tech little win. You know.
Speaker 2: I mentioned it on the subreddit with the artists of
Stardom titles, and it's like people are saying, why would
a W defend a Stardom championship at all? In why
not elevate stardom? Startum is fantastic. Startum is elevating AW.
They come in, they lose to a W in the
Forbidden Door, the Casino Gauntlet, and in the and in
the Owen Hart don't forget they were in the own Heart,
and then they allow AW to come in and take
one of their championships. Here's the end game with that
for me, and I do want to move on. But
the end game to that for me is for my
a W to start to start showing Stardom pay per
views on MYW and that would that would that would
get some much needed uh exposure to start them. And
I think people if they watched Stardom, they would fall
in love with it because it's that damn good. It's
a little bit exhausting though, because they run three to
five shows a week. But uh, and there's no set
schedule like aw has, you know, Wednesday, Dynamite, Saturday Collision.
They just throw stuff at the wall and they're all fantastic.
I we do believe that let's move on for no
titles whatsoever. A tag match between Will Ospray and John
Moxley against the Young Bucks. If you look at the graphic,
sixty uh. But there's a sixty three percent of the
people pick Ospray and Moxley, where thirty eight percent picked
the Young Bucks. Uh. Apparently they don't do math real
well on this, because that comes to one hundred and
one percent and there's no such thing. I'm sure there
was a decimal point there that probably got missed. But again,
as I said earlier, I personally thought that Kenny Omega
should be with the Young Bucks in this match, and
that somebody like Daniel Garcia, wi overe It or even
somebody else should be with John Moxley and Will Ospray
in this match. Two reasons for that, because first, personally,
Osprey and and Omega are going to be in the
main event, or at least ninety seven percent of people
are sure it is going to be in the main
event at all in as you know, they're both going
to be at the main event of all in a
three on three match kind of you know, makes it
a safer match. I guess it's the best way to
put it. Does that make sense? But I'm interested to
hear what your opinions are on this match.
Speaker 3: I am one of the thirty eight percent who thinks
Young Bucks will win. I think it'll be an amazing match,
but there will just be one slight moment of miscommunication
between Moxley and Osprey because what they've done a couple
of six man tags so far, Like, I think this
will be the first time they've done just a straight
up tag match, and they're going again one of the
greatest tag teams of all time, a pair of brothers
who have been tag partners for three hundred and eighty
seven years at this point, wrestler Mask. So yeah, I
think the Young Bucks are winning this, all right?
Speaker 2: Who wants to go next?
Speaker 6: Chris? I have to correct you, because Moxley and Osprey
have been doing straight up tag team matches. They've based
the Workhorsemen on Dynamite a couple of weeks ago. They
had another tag team match either last week or a
few weeks ago. So they've been doing straight straight up
tag team matches, not six man tags.
Speaker 8: But they're doing one tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Yes, tomorrow is a six man tag, but I gotta
say it, straight up match of the Year contender incoming
with this. This match is going to absolutely tear the
house down.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you that.
Speaker 3: Let me.
Speaker 2: Present this to Rawlins, but I want everybody answer this.
I think we can all agree that this is probably
gonna be a banger, right, but it doesn't matter. But
doesn't matter. It's a totally meaningless match.
Speaker 6: Me, I don't matter.
Speaker 2: I don't see I don't see how it matters. The
I way it that matters is if John Moxley turns
the Beast the crap out of Will Osprey. That's the
only way it matters. What First of all, First of all,
it's a meaningless match. There's no title. We know that
Osprey and Will Osby are not going to carry on.
The only thing that could possibly happen is Motorcedy's machine
guns coming and and interfere. Yeah, that'd be great, which
I personally all the people that are free agents. I
don't want to see most MotorCity machine guns in AW.
Speaker 3: The match matters because it will be another big win
for the Young Bucks and get the one step closer
to regaining the tag team title.
Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, And well, no, no, no, no no,
I got to disagree with you on that, Chris, because
one thing that Tony Kahn has done right. Whether win
or lose in this match, for the Young Bucks, they're
gonna get an AW tag team title shot because Tony
conn doesn't care if you win a match or not,
Jesus gonna put you in a title shot. Look at
Ken Knight, He's a TNT champion. He's not defending the
TNT championship. He's lost it is in a very recent
world championship thing match, and he's still getting a title shot.
Kevin Knight doesn't deserve a title shot, oh my lord.
Speaker 6: One. This match gets the Bucks closer to earning a
tag team title match again.
Speaker 2: How whether they win or lose, they're gonna be close
to where habit that tag team title match.
Speaker 6: And also I think it helps to advance the story
between John Moxley and Will Osprey, which at some point
they are going to clash again. Moxley is going to
turn on Osprey and this is just gonna add more
fuel to the fire.
Speaker 7: You know what, I think it did. I didn't hear
what happened, but I saw Nick Jackson's facial expression. I
think that this is reigniting a passion in the young
Bucks that they are not sitting back and resting on
being one of the greatest tag teams ever. That they
are really going to get fired up and get out
there and really just start beating the crap out of people.
Mocks and Osprey included in that. And they're going to
start having some because they've they've been kind of quiet,
I think. And I don't think that they are going
to reignite with or reunite with Kenny. I think they're
cool with Kenny and it's great. I actually think they're
going to reunite with Hangman and they are just going
to run through everybody again and we're going to get
some really really good matches out of this. I could
be wrong, but I don't think I am.
Speaker 3: Hung Bucks per life.
Speaker 6: There you go, you know what I think?
Speaker 4: No, go ahead, Are you just gonna be a smart
ass with me all like Kells?
Speaker 2: Yes, you're drunk. So oh yeah, she told She told
us before the show that she was drinking a half
a glass of wine. Half a glass of wine, so
I was I've been teasing.
Speaker 4: I am completely sober. No, what I think is, I
don't care if this match means anything. This is one
of my favorite tag teams and literally my two favorite
wrestlers right now. Who cares if it means anything. I
just want to see them have a really good match
because I love that.
Speaker 6: So can I add something to what you just said,
Jess and whatever partner against the Young Bucks equals breaking magic.
Just go back and watch. I'll tell you this. I've
gone back and watched the tag team match between the
Young Bucks against Swerving Osprey at all in last year,
at least ten times because that match is just that good.
And Moxley against the Young Bucks, yeah, that's always going
to interest me. Whether they're allies or enemies, I want
to see that.
Speaker 2: So that's all I need right Well, look, with the
Young Bucks, it really doesn't matter whether you like them
or not. Everybody has to admit when it comes to
pay per views, their machines, they always put on the match,
and it could be that I think was rawlins It
said that this may be the match of the night,
Match of the year, matching the year. I don't know
about that, you have they have a lot we're talking
AW here, match of the contender, maybe a contender. But
let's move on to another match and maybe a Match
of the Year contender, and that is for the AW
International Championship. Kyle Fletcher versus Bandido. Aw fan Hub prediction polls,
Soyle Kyle Fletcher, I tipped over my tongue Kyle Fletcher
ninety percent to Bandido's ten percent. Obviously, the aw fan
Hub community doesn't have a lot of faith in the
title change here. But what do you guys think?
Speaker 4: Well, first off, excuse me, you will say his full name,
the proto Star, the proto Star, Kyle Herbert Walker, Kennebunkport,
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Fletcher.
Speaker 2: Junior Junior got out of Junior Junior.
Speaker 3: You forgot to say aw International Champion. Now you got
to do the whole thing over again.
Speaker 2: No, let's not really. We literally have ten minutes to
finish the show.
Speaker 4: So no, I think people may be selling Bandido a
little short, and that kind of makes me sad. But
I sadly also have to agree with them. I didn't
Kyle just win this belt back. I don't think he's
gonna lose it so soon, right.
Speaker 2: I don't think people are going are selling Bandido short, Jess.
I think it's just a basic thing where Kyle just
won the belt and Bendido has a belt. You know,
it's this is just for about lack of better words,
this is an exhibition match. It's going to be a banger.
But I think everybody knows if Fletcher's winning here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know last week in our chat on our
great subreddit and on the Discord chat and on the
EPW Dyna my post show, I said, whenever AEW needs
a pay per view challenger for a title that can
have a great man and take the loss without losing anything,
they call bandido. That's what this is. It's gonna be
a great match. It's gonna be awesome. Kyle Fletcher's gonna win, right.
Speaker 9: I kind of I kind of agree, and I'm gonna
jump in because I didn't jump on the last on
the last segment with the Young Bucks and Osprey and Max.
I'm excited to see Kyle Fletcher Wreussell live for the
first time ever.
Speaker 8: I missed him at Dynasty because it was injured.
Speaker 9: Thank God, he's come back and he's come back stronger
than he ever was. And I'm predicting a certain cowboy
to maybe show up after the.
Speaker 2: Map interesting, and I wonder why I was wondering when
somebody would bring up the Cowboys. I'm glad that you did.
But that makes perfect sense to me, it really does.
Speaker 7: I brought him up when we were talking about the
Young Bucks, did you Yeah, yeah, yes.
Speaker 6: She did, she did.
Speaker 2: I apologize.
Speaker 3: I like idea a lot, and that would be a great.
Speaker 2: All it would be.
Speaker 6: But I think there's a little bit of a different
direction for all In when it comes to Kyle Fletcher,
and it involves a certain rainmaker, not just him, but
also the guy he took the belt from. He's in
the know, he's in the g one right now. But
I think we're heading for that triple threat match at
all agg I would do a Kyle f You could
put hang Man in there. I don't care. But regardless,
I think it's gonna be uh Kyle Fletcher Versuska Testa
versus Canoe. I almost said test again, No, let me
try that again. Kyle Fletcher versus Kazutsko Kada versus the
Tatashia Triple Threat International Championship.
Speaker 2: How you know that would be interesting? Or is there
anybody that hasn't had a chance to speak on this
match yet? All right, then let's move on to a
match that I personally am looking forward to, but again
it's got quite a skewed vote. I'm talking about the
AW National Championship Champion Mark Davis against Andradi Lda low
ninety say that Andrade is going to be your new
AW National Champion. Of course that means that ten percent
think that Mark Davis is going to retain. What are
your guys thinking about this match?
Speaker 9: Androte Androtte androde all the way?
Speaker 3: All the way you are?
Speaker 6: I have a question for you?
Speaker 2: How you not to say something right now? That is
the dumbest catchphrase I've heard in a long time. It
makes hilarious, It makes no sense at all.
Speaker 6: Fun about it. We have to make for the show.
Speaker 3: Wrestling doesn't have to make sense.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't have to make sense.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like half the people on this podcast,
that's including me.
Speaker 4: No, it's like the probably the best moment of like
one of the best moments of Dynamite last week is
when he's like standing there with a denonator clearly in
his hand and they're like accusing him of setting these
fireworks with pirates.
Speaker 3: How you know?
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's get to the actual match at Redemption.
Let's get to the match of Redemption. What are you
guys thinking about the Match of Redemption?
Speaker 3: It'll be a good match. On Rade Win. I love
Mark Davis, like he is a great just like he
is a ho and I like, I like those kind
of wrestlers. But uh yeah, on Drade wins, and I
think we get back to the Davis the Oil tag team.
So I would love to see Davis, Doyle and Tate
takes the trios titles and just run rough shot over that.
Speaker 2: Okay, anybody else I want?
Speaker 8: I want to see again Andrott take take his pantcil.
Speaker 2: Well you're gonna be sitting ring side, so maybe you'll
be able to get a selfie with a pantsless androdi Ellio.
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, ringside ring sign. I will be like
a section up, but I will have a clear view.
Speaker 3: So let's take pictures.
Speaker 7: Take pictures.
Speaker 2: There you go yet, take pictures, post them on the
discorder on the and so we can see where you're sitting.
Always enjoy those. Anybody else, let's talk. Let's let's stick
with and Mark Dave. We're running out of time, So
anybody else with any thoughts on Androddy and Mark Davis.
Speaker 6: Isn't Grand Slam Mexico coming up soon?
Speaker 2: Very soon? By the way, I did mention MotorCity machine
Guns earlier. The Dynamite after Redemption is taking place in Detroit,
So just pointing that out, that's what they may if
you want to get some you know, traction in Detroit.
Have them showed their faces at Redemption, but have them
debut in Detroit in Detroit exactly. Chris, all right, let's
move on. I want to move on because I don't
think anybody's got anybody anything other than different opinions? Am
I right? Or Am I wrong about that? ANDREI l alone,
Mark Davis. Please don't say that because it's dumb. It's dumb.
Speaker 3: We all agree.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Can I just ask your questions super quick?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 6: Is this Mark Davis Davis's first singles match on pay
per view?
Speaker 2: No, I think he's spent at least on a zero
hour match on a.
Speaker 8: PAPI yeah, Dynasty was at the zero or against Jack Perry,
and I was.
Speaker 6: The Okay, let me rephrase on the main car.
Speaker 2: It could be, it could be, It could be. But
keep in mind that up until recently, it wasn't known
as a singles wrestler. He was mostly you know, OSSI open,
you know. All right, Let's move on to the next match,
which is forty ae WTBS Championship Pakarlshida versus Mina Shira Kwa.
I mean my world same thing, because my world has
a twenty eight percent chance of winning. Karlshida has a
seventy two percent chance of winning. My biggest worry in
this match is that I really hope my world wins,
by the way, but is my world the next Mina
Sheir Kala is she's the it girl, is going to
lose every championship match that she has, you know she like,
is that? Is that what's gonna happen? I mean, I'm
I kind of like I'm gonna be watching this match
with my high squint did because it doesn't hurt Carr
Car she'da lose this match, but it really really really
would help Maya World to win it. And I really
want to see my Aworld to win it, and I
just don't think she is. What does everybody else think?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Head says the car Iseta, heart says myle World,
But I'm going with my head on this one though.
I do think my A World will win the r
O eight Swomen's title with death before Dishonored because it
took it was the third singles match against Athena in
aw and r O eight where she finally beat Athena.
Her third pay per view title defense title match will
be when she wins her singles title match will be
when she finally when she wins the title.
Speaker 2: I disagree with you, but that's neither here nor there,
because that's not the pay per view we're talking about.
But I understand what you're saying. I hope so, but
I just don't think so. I think she's meaness yourii
Kawa all over again? Anybody else?
Speaker 4: Now, I completely agree with you Kelsen for once.
Speaker 2: It's the wine talking.
Speaker 4: No, I you hit the nail right.
Speaker 2: On the head.
Speaker 4: I would very much like to see Maya win this
like pull another. It'd be cool if she became known
for surprise upsets. I'd be like something fun to run with.
Speaker 3: For a little bit.
Speaker 4: But yeah, she can lose this. But the more Maya loses,
the more she does. And I hate saying this because
I love her so much. Does risk becoming and the
other mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the only thing about that Jess is that,
you know, Mina shir Kawa is what is she thirty seven?
Thirty eight years old? Now Maya World significantly younger?
Speaker 4: What is she?
Speaker 2: Twenty three? So Maya World has only been wrestling for
like two years? I think I can't remember, but she's
not that that experience, but she's so talented already. I
think that you know, they're using her possibly to be
you know, just cannon fodder. At this point, I would
love to see Maya World, you know, pull a Julia
Hart and be a young champion in AW.
Speaker 3: On the women's side, Maya is twenty three years old
and she started wrestling mid August of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so not not doubt, not that experienced four years? Right,
who else has any thoughts about this match?
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be super short.
Speaker 9: I'm super excited the Seasheta in Montreal, So I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2: With fair enough anybody else all right, then we'll move
on to the AW Men's Tag Team Championship, Cage and
Copeland against Pack and Claudio Castignoli. This one is another
one of those lopsided ones. In the aw fan Hub
subreddit prediction poll, Cajun Copeland have a ninety seven percent
chance of winning. Fans only gave Claudio and Pack a
three percent chance of winning. What do you think?
Speaker 3: I think that's right. I predicted this match being booked
before it happened, and I think it'll be a really
fun match. Speacon, Matt, Claudio and paulk work well together.
You know they're great wrestlers, but Cage and Pope are
keeping it until the crazy multi team ladder match at.
Speaker 6: All with agree?
Speaker 3: Agree?
Speaker 6: I think I think the story of this match is
more would be about the Dogs and the rest of
the death Riders.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because you could be right, but the
dogs of what I mean, the dogs need to do
what the dogs do on their own and not in
you know what I mean. Their their last I don't
know if you saw their vignette, but their last vignette
was actually pretty good where they weren't just screaming at
the UH at the uh at the screen. They were
actually doing some good mic work. But yeah, anyway, anybody
else want to give their thoughts about this match.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna see some shenanigans from from the Dogs and
the Bang Bang Gang, and they're gonna help Adam and
Christian to retain I meaning the Bang Bank Gang is
gonna help.
Speaker 6: Jay Whites can have some sort of interaction with Christian
Cage during that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's honestly what I'm more interested in with this match,
not the actual match. I want to see what happens
with j White and Christian Cage.
Speaker 3: To hit David Finley before Finley can hit Christian David.
Speaker 2: David Fidley needs David Findley needs to needs to get
a weapon that people could spell. I'm just gonna say
that right off the bat. I can spell, don't show off.
I could spell it not correctly, but I could spell.
Speaker 7: I can spell it wrong.
Speaker 2: It's s h A lay Ley right sha.
Speaker 3: S x A y l A y l A Y.
Speaker 4: No, it's it's l E I G H is what
it ends.
Speaker 3: I know that wherever it is.
Speaker 7: I'm tired to him.
Speaker 2: Just whatever.
Speaker 3: If Adam another one, we all agreed. Taytan Cope.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've had him Copeland and Dan Christian kids get chilelaid.
Speaker 1: So be it.
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the well we almost talked about
it earlier. Arguably the biggest match of the night. I
say that with tongue firmly in cheek. The Painmaker Chris
Jericho versus Tomaso Champa.
Speaker 3: This is a what is it a?
Speaker 2: Is it a no holds barred match?
Speaker 6: I think it is, yes, I believe so.
Speaker 2: In the aw fan out prediction polls, it's uh Tomaso
Champa with sixty eight percent of the vote, Christi with
thirty two percent of the vote.
Speaker 9: I will thirty two of the vote, and I'm gonna
go with the Painmaker this time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, part of that thirty two percent who voted for Kerrco,
I think Jericho wins this, especially since Tomasso Champea won
the first I am.
Speaker 4: Going to agree with the majority just because I love
Tomaso and I hate Jericho.
Speaker 8: So sing Judas again.
Speaker 2: So there you go. I think this is going to
be an entertaining match. I really don't care who wins,
and I don't remember who I voted for, So that's it.
Speaker 7: It's going to be fun.
Speaker 6: I think Tampa wins and the feud is over after this, all.
Speaker 2: Right, then well if nobody has does anybody else have
any thoughts on this match?
Speaker 4: Just that I know, I hope that's what happens. I
hope Chiampa gets out of the Jericho vortex and moves
on to something better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can agree with you. Well, that's going
to be the it for the show again. AW Redemption
is Sunday, July twenty six. You can vote in the
AW fan hub subreddit prediction polls right up until six
fifty nine pm Eastern time. That's one minute before the
show starts. I hope you have a great time in all.
Speaker 9: Before we go, can I just give you some numbers
that I found online about the ticket sales for Montreal.
Speaker 2: Oh, for the ticket sales, I thought you were gonna
say stuff like six natural, which is my favorite number,
but go.
Speaker 3: Ahead, okay.
Speaker 9: So the current setup what I saw online is that
it's supposed to be six thousand, eight hundred and forty six.
They have sold five thousand, eight hundred and ninety nine,
so there's nine hundred and forty seven left. There was
a dynamite at the Bell Center on December sixth December sixth,
twenty twenty three, and they sold four thousand, nine hundred
and ninety four.
Speaker 8: So they've done better with the pay per view than
on Dynamite and.
Speaker 2: Reason you should be expected.
Speaker 11: Yeah, personally, I would have lied that the show be
at class Bell better than the Bell Center.
Speaker 8: That's my opinion.
Speaker 9: But it's gonna be a great show and they're gonna
also do a little celebration for the Rugel family. There
are big, big names in Montreal and just just for information,
the mayor of the town that I live in is Raymond,
So the mayor of my carry, the mayor of my
town is going to be celebrated again with his brother
and the rest of the family.
Speaker 8: So kudos to AW to do that.
Speaker 9: I'm very very happy for them, and I'm very very
proud to be part of the Quebec Wrestling Family Club.
Speaker 2: Okay, So our stream is going to end in literally
one minute, so.
Speaker 4: Again I'm trying to show.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna take great pictures and we're gonna talk about
it next week.
Speaker 2: Okay, so make sure you come to the aw fan
ub subreddit to do your predictions. We're also doing live
chats during Dynamite during collision and during Redemption at the
aw fan Hub subreddit and the Everything Pro Wrestling hob discord.
The links for both of them will be in the
description of this podcast, and that's it. Are we doing
bingo on the subreddit, not on problem all in, not
for redemption? Okay, So anyway, for the aw fanub podcast team,
this is Kelson. Good night, Eddie Kingston.
Speaker 7: Good night, Eddie.
Speaker 3: Good night.
