Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for
Speaker 1: Ignition with the AW Fan podcast team, and tonight we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about some hot topics related to All
Speaker 1: Lead Wrestling. I want to get your thoughts on, well,
Speaker 1: the misrepresentation of wrestling news.
Speaker 2: I think it's a crap for everybody regardless. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's getting to the point where these news people who
Speaker 2: want to be the IWC all are becoming they're doing
Speaker 2: the same thing as every other social media where they're
Speaker 2: posting things to get views and that's all they care about.
Speaker 2: They don't give a shit if it's correct, they don't
Speaker 2: care what they say. They just want the views, and
Speaker 2: that's what people were doing.
Speaker 1: Oh. I think that's unfair a little bit, And I
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, but I think you have to
Speaker 1: distinguish between legitimate wrestling news uh journalists. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: talking about news. When I look at wrestling news journalists,
Speaker 1: sudden I look at it as like, are they at
Speaker 1: the media scrumbs for example? For AW you know, do
Speaker 1: they have interviews with AAW talent? Do they actually talk
Speaker 1: to people in AW? Now? Sometimes they say our sources
Speaker 1: within AAW state without naming names. But there are times
Speaker 1: when you have actual AW people on camera talking to
Speaker 1: them in interviews, you know what I mean. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you look at these wrestling journalists should not be confused
Speaker 1: with engagement farmers.
Speaker 2: Right, But there are so many more of them now
Speaker 2: are the journalists? I mean? Like like when I first
Speaker 2: saw the thing about Britt Baker, I can't remember who
Speaker 2: I saw it from or where I saw it, but
Speaker 2: I could have support it with Brian Alvaras that passed
Speaker 2: along That someone had passed it along from. It might
Speaker 2: have been somebody saying he.
Speaker 1: Said, Brian Alvaraz is actually the one who debunked it.
Speaker 2: Right, But you know, I don't take anything serious that
Speaker 2: anybody says anymore because you can't. You don't know what
Speaker 2: it's like. It's like with the AI in pictures. You
Speaker 2: never know what the hell you're looking at. You know
Speaker 2: that picture that that dude posted. Yeah, they're they're they're
Speaker 2: doing exactly what I said. They're trying to get their
Speaker 2: a troll, trying to get anger or hate and heat
Speaker 2: from hating on AW when it was a blatant lie.
Speaker 2: But you can do that with anything anymore. I could
Speaker 2: take a picture of I can get a picture offline
Speaker 2: that has uh anybody, doesn't matter who it is. Could Beber,
Speaker 2: could be Uh, it could be uh, Lucas, could be anybody,
Speaker 2: and I could get a picture of me and I
Speaker 2: could splice them together and nobody would ever know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you're no, You're right. You know. The
Speaker 1: point is is that it's typical because I like to
Speaker 1: shared news that's posted, and I've gotten fulled a couple
Speaker 1: of times. I fully admit that where I posted something me,
Speaker 1: you know, where I posted something and somebody has called
Speaker 1: me out and said, I don't think that that's a
Speaker 1: reliable source. And I go back and I do a
Speaker 1: little bit more research. I'm like, no, you're right, I
Speaker 1: take it down. I mean, I look for interviews. I
Speaker 1: look for actual quotes, you know, from the actual people.
Speaker 1: I look for reputable journalists. You know. Now, there are
Speaker 1: people that I consider reputable journalists. When I say reputable journalists,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that I necessarily hang on their every word,
Speaker 1: but they provide sources most of the time. And when
Speaker 1: they don't, you know that they're not providing sources because
Speaker 1: the source doesn't want to be named. You can tell
Speaker 1: that not making it up. Do they get things wrong, sure,
Speaker 1: because sometimes the sources give them bad information, you know,
Speaker 1: but it's a far cry from getting some things wrong
Speaker 1: compared to just well, do you use a quote from
Speaker 1: today or yesterday throwing shit against the wall and seeing
Speaker 1: if it sticks rawlins. Had you said that you had
Speaker 1: been fooled by stuff earlier as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been fooled by that type of stuff. It's
Speaker 3: hard to know these days on when you see stuff
Speaker 3: on Twitter about a W or WWE, what's real and
Speaker 3: what's not. I mean you have all these different you know,
Speaker 3: YouTubers and stuff now like call to haulwagg and what
Speaker 3: Culture just to name a couple, and they're like getting
Speaker 3: their news from these various sources. And with all this information,
Speaker 3: you're like, well, how do I know what you're telling
Speaker 3: me is real or not? So it's like it's hard
Speaker 3: to differentiate what's rio and what's fake.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Well, as I said earlier, it was a
Speaker 1: slow newsweek really for a w in particular. There wasn't
Speaker 1: a lot of rumors or news coming out. Uh So.
Speaker 3: For the fact that real war nothing is not is
Speaker 3: probably not.
Speaker 4: Going to be in Las Vegas this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll talk about that a little bit later.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll use that somebody can bring that up in
Speaker 1: the potpourrie. Uh. But you know, look, a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Uh, there were reports that Malachi Black was
Speaker 1: probably done with a w now the thing about and
Speaker 1: I brought this up on our podcast a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago when this came out. Malachi Black has always
Speaker 1: been the type of guy that is upfront with the fans.
Speaker 1: He's had to go on Instagram and do Instagram reel
Speaker 1: saying I don't know why this is happening again, but
Speaker 1: this is the real story, you know. And he's been
Speaker 1: very upfront. So I've always looked at Malachi Black and
Speaker 1: anything that is said about him, and I said it
Speaker 1: multiple times before in the past that I believe what's
Speaker 1: said about Malachi Black when I hear it from Malachi Black.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I agree with that, and I feel the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So but here's the thing. Malchi Black has been
Speaker 1: pretty good about quickly pulling the trigger into bunking stuff
Speaker 1: or clarifying stuff if need be. He hasn't done that yet,
Speaker 1: and so I am now inclined to believe based on
Speaker 1: everything else that has happened with Brody King filing two trademarks.
Speaker 1: He filed trademarks for the Hounds of Hell and Cerebrass.
Speaker 1: I can never pronounce that right, get the brain part
Speaker 1: and the dog part, the three headed dog part mixed up.
Speaker 1: And Buddy Matthews also did it file the trademark UH
Speaker 1: for hell Hounds. So we have three trademarks from the
Speaker 1: I guess now the former members of the House of Black.
Speaker 1: We have Hounds of Hell, hell Hounds and Cerberus. Now
Speaker 1: why would they do that if nothing was happening with
Speaker 1: the House of Black and Malachi Black and Part. So
Speaker 1: I'm inclined to believe that Malachi Black is done with
Speaker 1: a wh Reports has said that he may not be
Speaker 1: going to w W. He may be just done being
Speaker 1: in a wrestling company. He may take in the dates
Speaker 1: here and here and there and and maybe take some
Speaker 1: what is it what is his uh? Is it jiu
Speaker 1: jitsu that he's oh yeah, or Muay Thai? Maybe I
Speaker 1: think your guys are right. But he could be doing
Speaker 1: some fights, he could be doing some instruction. He may
Speaker 1: be wanted. You know, hey, it's his life. Whatever is
Speaker 1: whatever makes him happy, whatever makes any wrestler happy. I'm
Speaker 1: for it. You know, he gave what he had to
Speaker 1: give and I think he did a pretty good job
Speaker 1: of it. I can't look back at Malaki Black and say, oh,
Speaker 1: that was a bus Was he booked correctly? Maybe not
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, not for his fans, but
Speaker 1: we don't know the backstage contracts and everything else like that.
Speaker 1: So so well, So now we have Buddy Matthews, Brody King,
Speaker 1: and Julia Hart from the House of Black. I guess
Speaker 1: now they're the pounds of Hell, which I think is
Speaker 1: cool as hell. By the way, what is next for
Speaker 1: these guys? Let's start. You know, Buddy Matthews, he's from Australia,
Speaker 1: he's got a Yeah, we've got what is it, Grand
Speaker 1: Slam Australia coming up next month. I mean it seems
Speaker 1: pretty I don't want to say obvious, but a pretty
Speaker 1: good bet that he's going to be at that show wrestling.
Speaker 1: What do you see, guys, what would you like to
Speaker 1: see Buddy Matthews doing.
Speaker 3: That's a hard one because you had Following their match,
Speaker 3: Will Osprey caught a promo which where he basically sang
Speaker 3: the praises of Buddy Matthews right. He kind of made
Speaker 3: it sound like he might be a new Malachi Black.
Speaker 3: That's kind of one of the big takeaways I got
Speaker 3: from that promo.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you did Wells.
Speaker 1: Did you also see the promo that well Adam Copeland
Speaker 1: did with Brody King and Julia Hart, which he yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Did see that. But where I was going was, if
Speaker 3: it wasn't for this Kenny Omega stuff, I would have said,
Speaker 3: maybe do a rematch a Grand Slam between Ospray and
Speaker 3: Buddy Matthews because I thought their match on Dynamite a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago was tremendous and if you were
Speaker 3: to do that rematch in Australia, I think it would
Speaker 3: be ten times better not to Again, not to say
Speaker 3: their match a couple of weeks ago was bad, because
Speaker 3: it certainly wasn't.
Speaker 4: But that was my thought process.
Speaker 1: Okay, anybody else have any thoughts of what they could
Speaker 1: possibly do with Buddy Matthews at at Grand Slam.
Speaker 5: I was wondering if there are Australian wrestlers that you know,
Speaker 5: I'm unfamiliar with that may be featured at Grand Slam
Speaker 5: and Buddy Matthews kind of take everybody under his wing
Speaker 5: and just run wild through a couple of different matches
Speaker 5: with a lot of different people that he's behind. He
Speaker 5: himself rests a lot more. Just a really strong singles wrestler.
Speaker 5: That's where I'd like to see him anyway. I think
Speaker 5: he really stands out on his own. So maybe something
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, anybody else have any ideas about Buddy Matthews a
Speaker 1: Grand Slam, because I certainly do have an idea.
Speaker 3: Maybe when they maybe I don't know, maybe he could
Speaker 3: go for the TNT title.
Speaker 1: That would be good. I'd like that. I'd like to
Speaker 1: see that a lot. Actually, do you think that that
Speaker 1: Matthews and Daniel Garcia would be a good good match? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or is that too soon? I feel like it is
Speaker 1: too soon, but I agree, but yeah, you never knew
Speaker 1: what they're they'll do. Any thoughts.
Speaker 2: I personally don't think many Black's leaving. I think he
Speaker 2: might be going on vacation for a while, taking some
Speaker 2: time for himself. But uh, with the with the cerebras, cerebras, Yeah, cerebras,
Speaker 2: and like we're getting together.
Speaker 1: Eventually, but it's not exactly right.
Speaker 2: The three Hitded Damn Dog okay from whatever ancient Greek
Speaker 2: or Roman or whatever it was. With that, with that
Speaker 2: being filed, I look for those two to be tag teaming. Still,
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to separate. I kind of
Speaker 2: think Julia is gonna go her own way. Maybe we
Speaker 2: talked about that before too, but until it takes bigger shape,
Speaker 2: it's kind of a I would like to see it
Speaker 2: happen kind of thing. But uh, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Buddy could go for anything. I mean, he's got the
Speaker 2: talent to be the number one guy if they really
Speaker 2: truly want him to be.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna make a really strong I'm sure
Speaker 1: this is going to happen prediction. And this is my
Speaker 1: prediction because I was thinking about it kind of along
Speaker 1: the lines of Buddy Matthews is going to have a
Speaker 1: singles match at Grand Slam, and frankly, he's not set
Speaker 1: up to be a singles wrestler. I mean, he's a
Speaker 1: great singles wrestler, but if you're gonna do the Hounds
Speaker 1: of Hell, you know the three headed dog, you need three.
Speaker 1: So here's my prediction. At Grand Slam, you are going
Speaker 1: to have a three way trios match for the a
Speaker 1: W Trios Championship. The champions Pack Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler
Speaker 1: Yuda is one team. The second team is rated FTR
Speaker 1: with of course Adam Copeland and FDR that's our word
Speaker 1: to cast Wheeler. The third team is Buddy Matthews, Brody
Speaker 1: King and Will Ospray, and that is going to be
Speaker 1: where Will Ospray, Buddy Matthews and Brody King recapture the
Speaker 1: AW Trios titles, because let's face it, I don't think
Speaker 1: those Trios titles have been defended this year yet. I
Speaker 1: don't think they were defended in December. I think it's
Speaker 1: been since November since they were even defended because the
Speaker 1: Death Riders has kind of superseded the Trios titles, so
Speaker 1: there's really no reason for ay W the Trio's titles
Speaker 1: to be on Pack Wheeler you To and Claudio Castagoli anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but here's the thing, I don't think Will Osprey
Speaker 3: would be involved in that match because they're clearly gonna
Speaker 3: do him and Kenny Omega against probably Kyle Fletcher and
Speaker 3: Kenosgate to Cashdag and that's clearly the direction they're going in.
Speaker 1: They've got to say something because look Grand Slam is
Speaker 1: a two hour show, and you're gonna have You are
Speaker 1: definitely gonna have Tony Storm versus Mariah May. You're definitely
Speaker 1: gonna probably have to have. You're gonna have to have
Speaker 1: Buddy Matthews on there some way, some in some way,
Speaker 1: shape or form. Look, I mean, in a two hour show,
Speaker 1: you've got the you don't have much to do, you
Speaker 1: don't have many matches to deal with.
Speaker 2: Take takes that, take us breant of that, and put
Speaker 2: Will Hobbs in there.
Speaker 1: No, because I honestly think that Will Hobbs may get
Speaker 1: another shot at John Moxley at Grand Slam.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna come into pay per view.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I really just you're.
Speaker 4: Gonna do Moxley at the pay per view and it's
Speaker 4: so obvious.
Speaker 1: I I just don't see Bobs standing a chance. I
Speaker 1: really don't. I hate it because I think that Toms
Speaker 1: would be a wonderful a W world champion. I really do.
Speaker 1: H But don't forget you've got uh m JF waiting
Speaker 1: in the wings.
Speaker 6: When you're looking at please yeah, get that's another one
Speaker 6: for Grand Slam, Jeff Jared against m j F.
Speaker 1: Get that out of the way, get MGF his win
Speaker 1: and then have MGF uh challenge uh John Moxley for
Speaker 1: the next paper. What is the next pay per view?
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it double or nothing? March Revolution, that's
Speaker 1: the one, March ninth Revolution, John Moxley against m JF.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gonna be Adam Copeland.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I just I just
Speaker 1: don't think so it would be a mistake for I'm talking.
Speaker 2: So if it's if, it's if you don't have it,
Speaker 2: because they're setting up Cope more than anybody else right
Speaker 2: now to be that challenger. If you're not gonna do
Speaker 2: it at the pay per view versus Copeland, you can't
Speaker 2: do it against MGF because there's no time. That would
Speaker 2: mean you'd have like two weeks or less to skeet
Speaker 2: to do and it's gonna be one of those it's
Speaker 2: gonna be, well, why the hell did they do this
Speaker 2: for two weeks? You don't want to set up Moxley
Speaker 2: versus MGF in two weeks, So haven't been.
Speaker 1: Right now They've got six weeks, seven weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but when's when is uh? Oh, when is
Speaker 2: the event in Australia.
Speaker 1: That's not a pay per view.
Speaker 2: It's and it was not a pay per view, but
Speaker 2: they're going to play it like a pay per view
Speaker 2: on regular TV. They're gonna set that it's just like
Speaker 2: they do all the other times. It's gonna be pay
Speaker 2: per view quality matches.
Speaker 1: So may they may have Copeland and Moxley at that show, but.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be a pay per view match.
Speaker 1: I just I just think that we're getting off track
Speaker 1: because we're talking about the former Remembers at the House
Speaker 1: of Black here. But we can talk about this further.
Speaker 1: But I just because we're repeating ourselves as well. So
Speaker 1: I mean, we've already given our opinions on this and
Speaker 1: just be interesting to see how that pays out. You know,
Speaker 1: play pays out now talking about the form remembers House
Speaker 1: of Bad Black. There's but there's brody King as well.
Speaker 1: Now in my scenario, brody King teaming with Will Osprey
Speaker 1: and Buddy Matthews at Grand Slam. That gives brody King
Speaker 1: something to do if that' stopped. Obviously, you guys, some
Speaker 1: of you guys don't agree with me, so what would
Speaker 1: you think. I mean, look, they're pushing Brody King, so
Speaker 1: they got to give him something to do. They're they're
Speaker 1: all the members of the House of Black.
Speaker 2: The problem is, we don't know what their new gimmick's
Speaker 2: going to be. Are they going to be turning away
Speaker 2: and going back to a darker kind of thing, are they?
Speaker 2: I mean, the names suggest being to the evil side
Speaker 2: of things, But until we find out what they're actually
Speaker 2: going to use those for, it's all up in the
Speaker 2: air guessing what they're gonna do with them, because we
Speaker 2: don't know how they could come out Tomorrow night and
Speaker 2: get involved in a match to set something up. I mean,
Speaker 2: until they really come out with what they're gonna do
Speaker 2: and how they're gonna take this from now on, it's
Speaker 2: kind of hard to decide what they're gonna do with them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I agree, they could have like for tomorrow night, and
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that the Herdson to get wins the titles
Speaker 2: the tag titles tomorrow night, and you can have those
Speaker 2: guys come out and take them on. That would be
Speaker 2: one a hell of a matchup shown Benjamin and uh
Speaker 2: Bobby Lashley versus Brody and and that would be crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But then you've also got FTR you've got the
Speaker 1: young Bucks sitting there.
Speaker 2: Waiting yet, and the young Bucks you're gonna be involved
Speaker 2: with the tag Totals for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean it's it's gonna be. What what
Speaker 1: I'm interested in tomorrow night is we've got Julia Hard
Speaker 1: versus Jamie Hater too tomorrow night, And of course I
Speaker 1: personally think that Hater should winnes match unless they're doing
Speaker 1: something with the Hounds of Hell. So the most telling
Speaker 1: thing if you noticed when Julia Hart had a match
Speaker 1: what wasn't on collision against Harley Cameron, she was still
Speaker 1: using her old music or same muse for same music,
Speaker 1: harder heart and was honoring the House of Black. If
Speaker 1: that is put to an end tomorrow night and there's
Speaker 1: new music and there's a new entrance, so to speak, Ah,
Speaker 1: then I don't think that there's any way, shape or
Speaker 1: form in hell that Jamie heter is gonna be win
Speaker 1: that match, because it wouldn't make sense to do all
Speaker 1: this work, get them all these new stuff, you understand
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and then have the member come out
Speaker 1: and get beat. So, h that's gonna be the most
Speaker 1: telling thing to me tomorrow night is Julia Hart when
Speaker 1: she's announced, you know, when her music hits, what what
Speaker 1: is the music gonna be? What is the big board
Speaker 1: gonna say? You know what's you know, She's not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to sing the House always wins because the
Speaker 1: house doesn't exist anymore. I mean she could be the
Speaker 1: Hounds always win. I get that's, you know, because Cerberus
Speaker 1: is a three headed dog.
Speaker 2: I mean, she doesn't have to be part of that anymore.
Speaker 2: She could stay with the.
Speaker 1: Does she She's definitely, in my opinion, going to She's definitely,
Speaker 1: my opinion, going to branch out a little bit, but she's,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, season to still be a Hound of
Speaker 1: Hell basically, if that's what they're going to be. I
Speaker 1: don't think that she's going to give up on Brody
Speaker 1: and Buddy. They've alluded to that. When Adam Copeland came
Speaker 1: out and paid his respects, he pointed out and Julia Hart,
Speaker 1: I respect you, you know too, So you know, I
Speaker 1: think that those three are going to remain together. It
Speaker 1: would not surprise me. I called it a coven, but
Speaker 1: it would not surprise me if Julia Hart acquired people
Speaker 1: for her coven. She spit recently on who has she
Speaker 1: spit on Jamie Hater. Yeah, you know, and I've actually said,
Speaker 1: you know. Look, I mean, if you look at it
Speaker 1: this way, Julia Hart would be in her cove, and
Speaker 1: Julia Hart would be in the Malachi Black role as
Speaker 1: far as in her in her group. Jamie Hayter would
Speaker 1: be a perfect person to step into a Buddy Matthews role.
Speaker 1: I think Harley Cameron, not so much as in a
Speaker 1: wrestling role, but you would be kind of like the large,
Speaker 1: lighthearted and she would probably be the best mouthpiece that
Speaker 1: they could have and be just kind of frustrating for
Speaker 1: Julie and everybody else. I think when I look at
Speaker 1: who could who could step into the brody king role?
Speaker 1: To me, that's Meghan Bain, who just to just returned.
Speaker 1: Why have Megan Bain come in? If she was is
Speaker 1: going to do something and they did say that she's
Speaker 1: going to be on TV, this would be the perfect
Speaker 1: spot because she is by far the big I mean,
Speaker 1: did you see how she made she made Chris Statlander
Speaker 1: look like a little strip.
Speaker 5: I love her. She's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 5: I love to see more of her.
Speaker 1: I did I would too. I mean, she's a she's
Speaker 1: she's talented. She's a very talented. I love her presentation.
Speaker 1: You know what what makes what makes you like her
Speaker 1: so much.
Speaker 5: I've watched her in the Independence quite a bit, and
Speaker 5: she's a strong wrestler. She also wrestles men quite a bit,
Speaker 5: takes them to task. She's just nice and nice. She's
Speaker 5: nice to her fans, she's personable, and most of all,
Speaker 5: she brings a man that I am madly in love
Speaker 5: with around, which is Joey Janella. And I don't know
Speaker 5: about anybody else, but I can't get enough of Joey Janella.
Speaker 5: So he hinted that he was willing to work with
Speaker 5: a w again and I would love to see him back.
Speaker 1: So that's that's that's a good point.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, that's see.
Speaker 1: Well, Like I said, but I mean, when you think
Speaker 1: of a woman that could be commiserate to Brodie King,
Speaker 1: I would say, ma get paid. I mean, there's you know,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to say that I'll call her
Speaker 1: a unit. Let me put it that way, because he
Speaker 1: is she's a unit. But you know, she's she's she's
Speaker 1: just like I think she's beautiful. She is, you know,
Speaker 1: and I just she's got the presentation and maybe I've
Speaker 1: not really heard her on the mic, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, because she you know, I haven't heard her.
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen her too much in the Indies,
Speaker 1: mostly where I've seen hers in stardom where she wasn't
Speaker 1: required to speak, and that was weird and starting because
Speaker 1: of course, the startup ladies are significantly shorter for the
Speaker 1: most part than the aw ladies, and so she stood
Speaker 1: out like a store thumb more so than you would
Speaker 1: in AAW I mean, I mean again, Chris Tatlerer is
Speaker 1: what five ten, and then Megan Baine six y one.
Speaker 1: You know, Julia Hart is five seven and has bean
Speaker 1: has five inches on her. You know, it's it's just
Speaker 1: she's just a different type, and she's the brody king character.
Speaker 1: But again, I think tomorrow night, when this heart versus
Speaker 1: Hater two match happens, I'm really more interested, not more interested,
Speaker 1: but I'm really interested in seeing the presentation of Julia Hart.
Speaker 1: What I would do, even if they're not ready with
Speaker 1: the music yet. One of the tabletale signs is to
Speaker 1: have the lights go out and then the lights come
Speaker 1: back up and Jamee, because Julia Hart is introduced first,
Speaker 1: and have just have when the lights go out, Jamie
Speaker 1: Hater immediately starts attacking Julia Harper. Where the lights come
Speaker 1: out and they're already in a fight, so there is
Speaker 1: no music, there is no introduction and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Something like that would be telling to me as well,
Speaker 1: you know, so you know we'll see I mean, this
Speaker 1: whole Malachi Black thing. And sudden you said that you
Speaker 1: didn't think Malachi Black was going anywhere.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's been what a month, not even a month
Speaker 2: since he was last came out and said I'm not
Speaker 2: going anywhere because there was rumor right two months. It's
Speaker 2: been two months, and he seems to have to do
Speaker 2: that every three four months he's got to stop a
Speaker 2: rumor follows him. I wouldn't say nothing either, because I'd
Speaker 2: be tired of it. I mean, you immediately because something
Speaker 2: because people say something or do something for a story,
Speaker 2: they immediately think that it's going to he's gonna he's leaving.
Speaker 2: As soon as that's the first thing any think. They
Speaker 2: don't think maybe he's taking some time off. They immediately
Speaker 2: think he's leaving. WAW. Immediately, that's the first thoughts everybody has.
Speaker 2: They're talking, you know, we're talking about them making the
Speaker 2: three hitted dog. They don't have to have him go.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to not be part of that. They
Speaker 2: could be just changing the gimmick because they feel that
Speaker 2: because they feel that the House of Black is running
Speaker 2: its course. I don't personally think Julia is going to
Speaker 2: change the name because she's been being called the Queen
Speaker 2: of the Black Heart or the Black Throne. Well princess, Okay,
Speaker 2: she gets promoted. Man if Mala Kanem disappear from the
Speaker 2: Black Throne, she could be called the Queen of the
Speaker 2: Black and then you throw the other three in there
Speaker 2: with her and you have your own. But I've thrown
Speaker 2: without having to have that big of a change. That's
Speaker 2: just I just don't see that. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: just don't see her changing her character because she's so
Speaker 2: good at that character.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not necessarily gonna be a change though, just
Speaker 1: a name change.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But also last night on Monday Night Raw, there was
Speaker 3: a backstage segment between Chad Gable and Dominic Mysterio and
Speaker 3: Dominic Candid Chad Gable like a paper, and it was
Speaker 3: kind of insinuated that maybe Malachi Black is going to
Speaker 3: show up on Monday Night raw at some point.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw that segment or not.
Speaker 2: No, I don't watch his contract's not up yet. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I didn't see it. And that.
Speaker 1: Does bring up another interesting thing because I did see
Speaker 1: somebody post this, and I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: a journalist or just somebody. But look at the way
Speaker 1: Malachi Black has handled this compared to the way some
Speaker 1: other people have handled wanting to leave, like Penta and
Speaker 1: Ray Phoenix. Okay, uh. Malchi Black has always been the
Speaker 1: type of person in my opinion. Of course, I don't
Speaker 1: know Malachi Black, you know, but in my judge of character,
Speaker 1: Malachi Black has always been the type of person that
Speaker 1: seems like he would be upfront and honest with Tony Kahan.
Speaker 1: You know, he may go to have gone to Tony
Speaker 1: kN sant Tony, I just miss my wife. I want
Speaker 1: to go be with my wife. I'll give you everything
Speaker 1: I have that you want me to do until my
Speaker 1: contract is up, and then I want to go be
Speaker 1: with my wife. And Tony Kahn strikes me as the
Speaker 1: type of person that if you're upfront with him, he's
Speaker 1: gonna let you do that and he's not going to
Speaker 1: hold it against you, and I believe that is exactly
Speaker 1: what's going to happen Malachi Black is. I really do
Speaker 1: feel that Malachi Black, if he does go to WWE,
Speaker 1: it will be on an extremely part time basis. I
Speaker 1: don't believe that he's going to be a full time
Speaker 1: wrestler much longer. I really do see him training people.
Speaker 1: I think that's what he wants to do. Just listening
Speaker 1: to him and seeing him carry himself. Of course, I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's just total speculation on my part. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: Malachi Black, if you stay in AAW, I'm thrilled. If
Speaker 1: you leave AW and you do something that pleases you more,
Speaker 1: then I'm happy for you and I wish you the
Speaker 1: best of luck. And I don't think that anybody here
Speaker 1: would say anything different. Well, let's move on. Did anybody
Speaker 1: watch all the stuff that happened with TNA this past week?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I watched one episode. I watched the episode before the
Speaker 1: pay per view? Okay, yeah, did anybody watch the pay
Speaker 1: per view? No? Yeah, I mean, look, I can honestly say,
Speaker 1: I can honestly say that I have never watched TNA once. Ever,
Speaker 1: I have zero experience with TNA, although I do know
Speaker 1: of some TNA wrestlers and it was something. I mean
Speaker 1: you had of course, Jordan Grace dropping her title to
Speaker 1: Tessa Blanchard, who got she's a racist chance, Well she
Speaker 1: was in the ring. Uh you saw Ali Catch get
Speaker 1: I believe wasn't it at DNA that she got? Oh
Speaker 1: that was g c W. I mean there's there was
Speaker 1: so much going on this week and I'm getting mixed up,
Speaker 1: but I think that's relevant. I mean Ali Catch got,
Speaker 1: you know, her leg broken in two places. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: set up a gofund me for there were a couple
Speaker 1: of wrestlers like Will Osprey that did donate to it,
Speaker 1: and her surgery was a success. I mean, these indie
Speaker 1: wrestlers they this when they get an injury like this,
Speaker 1: it's devastating.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Ali, I mean we're rooting for you, you know,
Speaker 5: come on, Allie.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I really can't. That was just now
Speaker 1: you had. Was it a TNA or g c It
Speaker 1: was a g c W where oh I can't even
Speaker 1: remember the wrestler's name, just beat the ship out of
Speaker 1: the title belt that he had. Oh God, it was
Speaker 1: It's just.
Speaker 5: I think that was TNA.
Speaker 1: That was I think so like I said, there was
Speaker 1: so much wrestling going on this weekend that I could,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't. I was really, really, really busy in
Speaker 1: my personal life this weekend, and frankly, I didn't really
Speaker 1: get to watch Collision Better Yet, TNA or and and
Speaker 1: the g c W Show. But my god, you know,
Speaker 1: Josh Alexander has left. Where was he at TNA? Yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: you know, and O there's bensal talk about him coming
Speaker 1: to a w He would definitely fit in a W
Speaker 1: with the style that AW runs. Gosh, it's just where
Speaker 1: do you put these guys? Honestly, where do you put them?
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got a big roster, now.
Speaker 5: Do you?
Speaker 1: Are you releasing people?
Speaker 2: I mean, well, the rumor is, the rumor is a
Speaker 2: lot we're going to go to WWE because WWE now
Speaker 2: has a working relationship with TNA, right, so they're talking.
Speaker 2: I've seen again it comes down to, like everything else,
Speaker 2: it's all rumors. But the things I saw were that,
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of the people are pulling away,
Speaker 2: they don't like the relationship, they don't like the fact
Speaker 2: that they're working with WWE. Then you hear that people
Speaker 2: are going to go to WWE, and they're going to
Speaker 2: quit TNA. So it's one of those things where you know,
Speaker 2: it could be sixty things going on and we have
Speaker 2: no idea knowing. Yeah, you know, I think that Josh
Speaker 2: Alexander though, that's been talked about for a while.
Speaker 1: Though, that's yeah, his name has been tossed around for
Speaker 1: a while, but it's never happened. Well, look, yeah, pet
Speaker 1: are going to Pete went to a w W. Obviously,
Speaker 1: You've got Ray Phoenix going to w W, Alchi Black
Speaker 1: leaving possibly, and you've got well Ricky Starks. That is
Speaker 1: completely up in the air. So look, is there room
Speaker 1: for Josh Alexander on the a W roster? Technically yes,
Speaker 1: but is there room in the story? That's the that's
Speaker 1: the big thing. Yeah. I love him. He's a really
Speaker 1: good wrestler. Don't forget speedball. Speedball. Mike Bailey is supposedly
Speaker 1: coming to a W as well shortly, so I.
Speaker 5: Wish they'd hurry that up, get him in there. He
Speaker 5: needs to move along.
Speaker 1: Where is Mike Bailey from Canada?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Canadian. I'm not sure Mike Bailey. I've
Speaker 5: heard use they pronouns. I don't know if Mike also
Speaker 5: uses he so just in case we don't miss pro
Speaker 5: miss identify someone.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, thank you, because I've never heard that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not as familiar with s Peopbouk Mike Bailey as others.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not sure if if Mike uses he I
Speaker 5: know he used or they use they, but I'm not
Speaker 5: sure if he also Just.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, So that's something to keep in mind
Speaker 1: for future conversations.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's happening? We could talk Rawlins. Probably he's
Speaker 1: gone now, but Rawlins had brought up something interesting where
Speaker 1: Uh it's been reported at double or Nothing is not
Speaker 1: going to be held in Las Vegas this year. Uh
Speaker 1: kind of like that, be honest with you. Ah, So
Speaker 1: if it's not in Las Vegas, where do you think
Speaker 1: it should go?
Speaker 2: Not Chicago?
Speaker 1: Well, not Chicago. Still double or nothing. So you got
Speaker 1: to go to a gambling you know, wait, Reno, Atlantic City.
Speaker 1: Atlantic City would be a good place. Uh they are
Speaker 1: gambling in Salt Lake City.
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. How about Michigan? Yeah, how
Speaker 5: about somewhere in Michigan?
Speaker 2: No, I mean a lot again, a lot of states
Speaker 2: have places to gamble now not necessarily known for gambling, right, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, you know city, Mississippi.
Speaker 2: I mean you could go to you anywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think you do have to keep up
Speaker 1: with the theme at least a double or nothing. I
Speaker 1: mean you could definitely put double or nothing in the
Speaker 1: Forum or the former Staples Center in Los Angeles or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, but that kind of doesn't make sense, you know.
Speaker 2: Why they were moving?
Speaker 1: No, No, I didn't hear anything. I'm sure there's a reason,
Speaker 1: but no, Uh what, I personally don't like the the
Speaker 1: idea of having a pay per view in the same spot.
Speaker 1: I I you know, like if AW had all In
Speaker 1: in Wembley for three, four or five years in a row,
Speaker 1: it would wear off, you know, so I would you know,
Speaker 1: I would personally, you know, when it comes to uh
Speaker 1: forbidden door, I would love to see it in Cardiff.
Speaker 1: Just the Bill, just a big Bill could have a
Speaker 1: match because he's the most over wrestler in all of Cardiff.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and go to our pot pourri. Does
Speaker 1: does anybody have Eddie potpourri? Well?
Speaker 2: Woltan mentioned something in the chat about the that AW
Speaker 2: hasn't been advertising dates and venues in advance like they
Speaker 2: did last year because he says that they're hoping to
Speaker 2: supposedly hoping to not allow a w WW eter run
Speaker 2: house shows in the same weekend or week I mean,
Speaker 2: I get that. It kind of reminds me a lot
Speaker 2: back in the old days with w cw WW was
Speaker 2: doing the same thing. And it's just, you know, I'm
Speaker 2: not a big guy. I'm not big on you have
Speaker 2: to choose one or the other. You you're if they're
Speaker 2: having a weekend show and you want to go ce WWE,
Speaker 2: you're gonna go c WW. If you want to see AW,
Speaker 2: you're gonna go see AW.
Speaker 1: I agree with that, and I and I think that
Speaker 1: AW should announce shows well ahead of time so the
Speaker 1: fans can prepare to go to those shows. For the
Speaker 1: same reason you just said. If AW fans are going
Speaker 1: to watch anything but AW, then AW needs to work
Speaker 1: on itself, because WW fans are going to watch WWE,
Speaker 1: and AW fans should be watching AW, right man. And
Speaker 1: I'm saying that in a general term, because there are
Speaker 1: plenty of WWE fans who also watch AW and vice versa.
Speaker 1: You know, so as a matter of fact, I will
Speaker 1: say a lot of people that watch AW watch WWE. Again,
Speaker 1: you can't go by the representation of Reddit and Twitter
Speaker 1: because that is a very small percentage of the people
Speaker 1: who watch these shows weekly. So it is what it is. Natt,
Speaker 1: you had mentioned something about, you know, in our discussions
Speaker 1: where you felt like the women's division was looking up. Well,
Speaker 1: what did you mean by that?
Speaker 5: Oh, I was just noticing that they are putting more
Speaker 5: women's matches on TV, for one thing, and just I
Speaker 5: like the women's Gauntlet match that they they had going there.
Speaker 5: I see a lot of a lot on the horizon
Speaker 5: with Harley Cameron. So it just it seems like the
Speaker 5: women have maybe turned the corner a little bit and
Speaker 5: are starting to get a little more traction, and I'm
Speaker 5: looking forward to it. I hope that they continue and
Speaker 5: build and have a really diverse women's division going on.
Speaker 5: You know, I hate when things start to be the
Speaker 5: same and everybody looks the same and all the matches
Speaker 5: feel the same. So I hope there's there's some good
Speaker 5: stuf us developing there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you brought up Harley Cameron, and this
Speaker 1: is something interesting. I don't know if you guys saw
Speaker 1: the post I made on the aw fan Hub subreddit,
Speaker 1: but I asked a question, which AW wrestler in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four and all matches, all match types combined in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four had the most losses in A Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: And the four choices were Dante Martin, Beast, Mortos, Commander,
Speaker 1: and Serpentago. Yeah. And did anybody know who had the most?
Speaker 2: I would have to say Beast, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Same.
Speaker 5: I picked Dante Martin.
Speaker 1: Okay, great. And this is why this is such a
Speaker 1: good question, because the answer is Commander, really, you had
Speaker 1: the most losses at AW last year. Of course, he
Speaker 1: paid his dues, he did the work, he did the job,
Speaker 1: and he got the Ring of Honor Television Championship toward
Speaker 1: the end of the year. So, and the reason I
Speaker 1: bring this up is because on the women's side, on
Speaker 1: the women's side, Harley Cameron had the most losses in
Speaker 1: four and she's carrying on that tradition now. But my
Speaker 1: point is is that I have every reason to believe
Speaker 1: that whether it's an AAW or Ring of Honor sometime
Speaker 1: this year, I really do believe that Harley Cameron's gonna
Speaker 1: get her flowers abs Champ. I don't think I think
Speaker 1: she's gonna more than likely get get something like the
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor Television Women's television.
Speaker 2: Jack there's a champion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ve Red Velvet is the oh yeah, okay, so
Speaker 1: you know, I I do look at that. So that's
Speaker 1: an interesting thing. Staying in the women's division, Ah, Mercedes Monette,
Speaker 1: who I feel has done a lot better in the
Speaker 1: last several months. But the thing is is that who's
Speaker 1: your next challenger? There's nobody. It's kind of like and
Speaker 1: I understand as far as the TBS Championship was always
Speaker 1: intended to be an open challenge belt, but you know,
Speaker 1: when you look at at it, the only person that's
Speaker 1: challenged Mercedes Bonett is Mina Shirakawa again. And I said
Speaker 1: this last week. I really don't want to see Mina
Speaker 1: Shirakawa lose again the Mercedes Bonette, you know, or anybody
Speaker 1: else for a title match. I mean, Mina Shirka has
Speaker 1: been used as the you know, Japanese jobber. I hate
Speaker 1: to say it like that, but it's the truth, you know.
Speaker 1: So Christatlander never got pinned to lose the TBS Championship,
Speaker 1: but she got a couple of shots. Julia Hart lost
Speaker 1: the TBS Championship because of injury. Basically, they had to
Speaker 1: get get it off of her, and they put it
Speaker 1: on Willow Knighting Gale, which was a good move because
Speaker 1: Willow knighton Galea and Mercedes Bonet had a little bit
Speaker 1: of a unfinished businesses. I think they pushed put it
Speaker 1: so I really do believe that I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: Julia is gonna win the title off of Mercedes Bonett,
Speaker 1: but I honestly believe when Mercedes Bonette came into the
Speaker 1: to AW that it was intended from the get go
Speaker 1: for it to be Mercedes Bonet versus Julia Hart. We've
Speaker 1: already talked about what's gonna happen with Buddy Matthews and
Speaker 1: and uh Brody King, but with Julia Hard, I really
Speaker 1: do think that it's gonna be sometime down the road,
Speaker 1: maybe revolution even a match against Mercedes bone for THEDBS Championship.
Speaker 1: She canna win, probably not, but I think they have
Speaker 1: to wrap that up. I think tomorrow night it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a really interesting night. I mean, we've got a
Speaker 1: face to face between will Ospbury and Kenny Omega. We've
Speaker 1: got Julia Hart and Jamie Hayter going at it, which
Speaker 1: I really do think something's gonna happen in this match
Speaker 1: of course, the Private Party versus Hurt Syndicate Tag Team
Speaker 1: Championship match, Samoa Joe versus Nick Wade, that could be interesting,
Speaker 1: really could be interesting.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna miss Nick Wayne.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, of course you have Adam Copeland versus Pack,
Speaker 1: which should be a good match, although it's total, completely meaningless,
Speaker 1: you know it'll be Copeland will end up getting hit
Speaker 1: by a briefcase at some point during the match, but
Speaker 1: it is what it is. As before we leave, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to get props today the little man who
Speaker 1: beat the crap out of Brian Keith on that collision.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the match, but that that clip was everywhere.
Speaker 1: Did you guys see it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, the little guy, the little.
Speaker 1: Guy, you know, you know what, that chop was pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: I mean you knocked you knocked Keith on his ass.
Speaker 1: I just kind of wish that he would have gotten
Speaker 1: two chops in so I could definitely say, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I miss Eddie Kickson because of reminded in the I
Speaker 1: love Eddie Kingston.
Speaker 5: Everyone loves Zadi Kingston.
Speaker 1: Everybody should, whether they know it or not. There you go,
Speaker 1: and with that we will say good night, see you
Speaker 1: tomorrow night on I'll le Talk right after Dynamite or
Speaker 1: Dynamite review show for Kelson. Well, I am Kelson, so
Speaker 1: I can't say fort Kelson boy, so I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with it fort Kelson. This is Kelson. Good night everybody.
Speaker 5: Good night guys, good night everyone,
