Speaker 1: And nine Ignition.
Speaker 2: Ship five four three two one zero.
Speaker 3: All right, guys, well we're going to get started, and
let's just hope that I don't obliberate, obliterate. I couldn't
even say that I picked a word. It's hard to
say that I don't obliterate, obliterate.
Speaker 4: Liberty, mutual liberty, liberty.
Speaker 3: Ahead, go ahead, I tell you what. Can I crawl
into a hole and just come out of it again?
Speaker 5: Take two?
Speaker 3: I think this may take three. All right, so I've
already messed up apologizing for totally crapping the introduction last
week by crapping the introduction this week. So I'm going
to take a deep breath or we're going to go again. Ready,
here we go. It's Tuesday. You know what that means.
It's time for Ignition with the aaw Fan podcast team.
We've got a big show tonight. Kind of have to
speed this up tonight because there are a lot of
stuff to talk about. Hopefully we want to give the
time that everything deserves, though. We're not going to rush through.
But don't be mad at me if I say, hey,
moving on in the middle of a sentence, probably one
of my sentences. Anyway, We've got a big week. We've
got AW Dynamite and AW Collision, a three hour block
Wednesday night at eight pm Eastern time. Then we also
have we also have fair Way to Hell at eight
pm Saturday night. It's just a one hour show. I'm thinking,
who's going to go to a one hour show? Maybe
they have something else arranged, like a rig of honor
tapings some big matches. Is something to that effect. I
don't know, uh, but we'll see. But anyway, let's get
on with the show.
Speaker 2: This is Kelson and this is Barry. But I don't
see the graphics, so I'm just gonna go ahead and
plug the Discord Chat. Anyways, if you're looking for some
fun folks to chill around and chat wrestling Wednesday night
during dynam I, check out our Discord Live chat. It's
like sitting on the couch with your best friends chat
and wrestling. There's my dog, she's coming up there. It's
a little Charlie girl. It is a way to experience
wrestling like you've never No, I'm kidding, it's fun. Come.
We're good people. We keep it light and heavy, well
light and heavy. But see Kelson, you screwed me up
a whole shtick and the image came up and right
the good Yeah, the show goes as Kelson goes, Hey,
it's fun. We're easy going folks. We usually we got
a good crowd on there. It's a lot of fun.
And if you don't have anybody, watch Wrestling with the
First and join us virtually on the big old comfy couch.
Speaker 6: Switching to a bit of good sad news. Rebel received
a humongous outpouring of support after billing her terminal als
s I know, I'm pretty sure I can speak for
everyone up here. She has our full support, prayers with
her for you know, it's just it's I don't know
what to say about a disease like that.
Speaker 3: Man, It's the only thing you can really say is
we love your Rebel.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's really it.
Speaker 3: It's tough. This is tough.
Speaker 6: It's great. It was good to see how much support
she had.
Speaker 7: And by the way, this is Robins on this date.
Back in twenty twenty one, the Pinnacle defeated the Inner
Circle in the very first Blood and DUTs match. Also,
Julia Hart made her aw Dynamite debut, and Blood and
Guts has only gotten like a hundred times more violent
since this said.
Speaker 8: Match, Hey guys, this is your girls. So related to
Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston being released by w W,
Bailey posted this on Twitter related to Xavier, she said,
thank you for everything. I've shared a locker room for
you for the last thirteen years and you were always
there for us, made us laugh, reminded us of our worth,
and got us paid to have fun with our friends.
One in a million and I agree one hundred percent
with what she's saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Also, before we go any further, I did want
to give a shout out to Clown, who is a
regular over at the Everything Pro Wrestling podcast. They're doing
their Dynamite review tomorrow night. I guess, I don't know.
And he also says positive thoughts to Rebel and Jeff Canniball,
who was also battling ALS. That's that's just horrible and
and there is it, Meters. It seemed like the people
that are battling ALS are getting younger every day. It's
it's something I don't know, but look, let's move on
with the show because that's all we can do. The
first thing we're going to talk about kind of carrying
on with what Bailey has said new Day the new day?
Is it? Is it done new day or they just
go buy new Day.
Speaker 6: Yes, I think it's you can use either one.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yes it is, Yes, it is all right.
But anyway, they were not released and if rumors are true,
well reports are true, they were asked to take a
pay cut and they said no. They got their release.
It was a mutual release. Fifel is reporting that it
is not a clean termination and other words and other words,
they still have to go through their ninety day clause.
I don't want to call it, you know, a noncompete
because it's really not because they're still on the payroll. Yeah,
it's basically they gave their ninety day notice, but they're
still getting paid until the end of it. But do
you guys think that Uh Kofi Kingston by the way,
his real name is Kofe, his last name is not Kingston,
so he will be able to keep at least the
Kofee moniker. Uh.
Speaker 4: But uh Xavier Woods Woods, Yeah, Xavier Uh, Xavier Woods
is probably Xavier Woods is probably gonna go by Austin Creed.
What would mean if they came to a W we'd
have Austin Gun and Ace, Austin and Austin were just
they should just form a faction and take down to
don call family or joined the Don Kellen's family.
Speaker 3: Whatever. But anyway, do you guys think that they're a
good fit for AW What are your honest opinions on this?
Not as you know, oh yeah, we get a big name,
but you really see them fitting in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they would fit in well. I think
both are good workers, charismatic. You know, in the tag
team division it's strong, like, there's a lot of great
tag teams, a lot of good matches they could work.
I mean, I'd love to see them versus the Young Bucks,
the Goals them and FTR, you know, the Guns like
you mentioned the Dogs, Like, there's so many good teams
they could work with us. I think they'd fit and
work really well and being a nice new addition to
the division.
Speaker 3: Do you guys think that the New Day? I don't
know what they'd be called. Obviously they're not going to
be the New Day. They may not come together at
the same time. One may come, neither may come. One
may come first, but another may come to once down
the line. You never know what their personal plans are,
but you know, do you see them as remaining as
a team.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would keep them as a team, but we
did see back in twenty nineteen, Kofe got over as
a singles competitor, so you do have that. I'd love
to see them work with Swerve because you know how
we know that they have a friendship. Swerve even talked
about it in a press conference, I think after Dynasty
when he won the World Championship.
Speaker 5: So you have that right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah. By the way, on our chat, Clown came up
with a name for them, a new name, Better Tomorrow. Interesting.
I like it. Like that.
Speaker 2: I like that too, It's.
Speaker 3: Different than what I think it was. Andrewsiian made fun
of the way w W picks their wrestlers' names. It's
like they throw a whole bunch of stuff in a
hat and then they pull it out and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: This and that. It's usually a state and a disease
or something. I can't remember what they said.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like, you know, to Maryland the newest exactly
know I can read it.
Speaker 3: I was actually gonna say Klamydia Idaho, but you know,
which is actually quite a pretty name. My sister's dog
is named Klymydia.
Speaker 1: So but any I'm that dog is very in.
Speaker 2: Fact, That's what I said, Yeah, exactly what.
Speaker 5: I'm stealing your thunder and I don't care.
Speaker 1: So so I I really think that a that the
two are better together as a team. I don't want
to see him with Swerve. I don't think that's a reality,
but because Swerre needs to be by him. So but
those two, those two are great. I would want I
really want to know what's going on with Big E
and and if he's going to stay or whatever, because
those three together will remarketability out of the wazoo for
for a w and everything they do.
Speaker 3: So I think it's safe to assume that Big Ee
is never going to wrestle again.
Speaker 1: I don't want to wrestle, but I really do think
he could be a manager or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's got a cushy you know thing going
on at w W right now, So he's getting unless
unless they asked him to take at exactly yea, Vale,
I think you're just say something. I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I was like very surprised that they got released.
I thought they would be bound to WW forever and
ever and ever. But now they are released, I'm just excited.
I really want them to see with the young Bucks.
We have been teased and teased over and over and
over again, either on being the elite or you know,
when they were doing their video gaming stuff. You know,
I think I think AW is where they're where they're going.
I'm thinking that they would be a good fit with
Bobby Lashley and Sheldon and MVP and their Hurt Syndicate.
I'm seeing them in the group.
Speaker 3: You know, I was thinking the same thing and that.
I think it was MVP that came out said something
in an interview just this week just because wrestlers are
black doesn't mean that they're going to be in the
Hurt Syndicate. And he kind of took a little bit
of offense to it. And I don't know if he
meant that in a Kefabi kind of way or not,
but it does make sense. I mean, think about it.
The only person they've ever had in their group was
a big Hebrew, you know. So by the way in
our chat, Clown says keep them as a team, knock
out the dream matches, then do whatever feels right, and
that seems like a pretty good plan. That really does.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, especially since they're good comedy dudes. I'm just
thinking about them in the conglomeration. Initially to bring them in,
you can have their dream matches as babyfaces, and then
to your point, when it's ready, you turn them. And
that's what you actually run with from a storyline perspective
going forward, whether they're in a group or just heals
on there. But I think you bring him in his
baby faces and run through some dream matches first. Oh, yeah,
they're gonna get cheered, so don't bring him in. Don't
try to bring him in his heels.
Speaker 6: Uh, you look at Rickset. You know he was gonna
get cheered when he came in. They brought him in
as a face. They let him do his stuff build up,
and then when he turned heel, it took work perfectly.
And yeah, now one of the best heels.
Speaker 2: All these guys do comedy stuff perfectly in line with
what the conglomeration does. I'm just imagining them doing bits
with oc and stuff, and then you have them turn Coss,
Roddy or somebody you know something or other, and then
you're off for the races with them. But you know
they're gonna get cheered. Initially and just let the fans cheer.
Speaker 7: You know what I want FDR versus Young Bucks versus
Jet Speed versus New Day Ladder match all in.
Speaker 3: Well, that could be fun. They'll be definitely available the
available boil Boy.
Speaker 2: Somebody somebody say available.
Speaker 3: I said available. Liberty, mutual.
Speaker 5: Liberty, liberty.
Speaker 3: By the way, in our chat, Marcus the entertainer is
heres saying the best a W radio show. He's our fan.
Speaker 2: Hey, super Steed chiming one of the movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just have Yeah.
Speaker 7: By the way, Berry, I'm not saying like, have Swerve
and the Young and New Day form like a trio
and put them in the trios division. You can leave
Swerve in the singles division, but the three of them
together as like a faction or something that would be
musty television.
Speaker 6: Is you.
Speaker 7: We know how good Swerve is. We've seen how good
Tofi is.
Speaker 6: Xavier.
Speaker 7: I think with the two of them he can pick
game up. I think it would be.
Speaker 3: Awesome Marcus, and the chat says he's listening to us
on the road tonight. He further went on to say
something pretty interesting. I would like to see Creed and
Renee team back on some kind of Weekly Show.
Speaker 2: How's he texting and driving at the same time. That's
not safe.
Speaker 3: Well, you know they do have this thing that they
can press the button on your steering wheel.
Speaker 2: Okay, make sure don't text and drive kids.
Speaker 3: It'sous. Yeah, yeah, well it's dangerous probably the drive and
listen to us. You know, let's let's be real here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can be distracted, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do want to move on because yes, Liberty
Mutual doug that insurance.
Speaker 1: Once you're down listening to the show.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's hold off on sponsored by the way, these
guys are just insane.
Speaker 3: Okay, come on, let's let's move on. You know, the
joke has gotten stale, kind of like Eddie Kingston's career.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Like.
Speaker 3: Anyway, we're gonna do something that we've really not done
a lot of. We're gonna get a little tribalistic here.
I think we may not be, but it isn't my
opinion in the opinion of many others that TIKO is
kind of like obliterating professional wrestling wrestling their decisions that
they've made with the blood money stuff, with the you know,
just cuts or whatever cuts that there major cuts are
asking their wrestlers to take, you know, leading to releases
and whatnot. You know, frankly, do you guys see what
Tiko is doing now hurting aw in the long run,
it's certainly hurting wrestlers.
Speaker 6: No, I think it will help in the long run
because I think there's going to be fans that have
been you know, WWE for their whole life, but have
kind of looked at other places and might begonding kind
of like, you know what, I really don't like what
this company is doing. You know, I'm getting less and
less entertainment, and they're cutting people even though they're recording
record profits, Like like, how can you be record profits
and telling your wrestlers we need you to take a
pay cut, Like, I'm sorry. If you're losing money, you
can do that, but you can't do it when you're
making record freaking profits like they're just coming. I mean
you can, but if they're coming in three D scum
sucking buttholes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important to separate morals from corporatism, and many
of us are frustrated with the moral aspect, which is
valid with the corporatus aspect, and those things are going
to butt heads, which is why we get passionate as
fans because we feel and empathize for the performers when
this happens. But they are a company that is focused
entirely on profit, and it's a new era as a
pro wrestling fan to have a promotion that is so
hyper focused on that to the detriment of the experience
of fans and the performers that I think it's going
to be very strange to observe over the next few years.
But I do think it's important people keep those separate
from the morality playing the corporate display because they're not
necessarily related, and I do think some of these decisions
are difficult for them, but they still take the corporatis standpoint.
It's like it's a business. I have a number to
hit from my executives, I have to hit it. And
as somebody who has to lay people off specifically just
because they live in expensive state or city and I
can get somebody for forty percent less in another country
that does about as good of a job, that's the
type of decisions that I have to make on a
regular basis as well, and it sucks and it's not
easy to do, but that's that's something we haven't really
had to experience publicly in a professional wrestling organization before
and for fans, it's going to be new and uncomfortable
to go through.
Speaker 3: Got me, let me let me break in here because
I Cloud said something in chat and I want to
get I want to say what he said, and I
also want to get your reactions to this, everybody. So
let me put up what he said in chat. He said,
how can the head of KKO say he made sixty
plus million then say we can't pay you the agreed
upon terms of your contract.
Speaker 2: You need to take a pay cut because that's their target.
I mean, that's that's what the target is for their
for their budget. It's that simple that again, take the
more thing. It doesn't have to be moral. They were
given a number by the board. That's the number they
have to hit. Period. That's how they do.
Speaker 3: But but you know, it's beyond the morality. I don't
think it's a moral thing when you just flat out
say everybody on our roster is expendable, because that's what
they're basically saying, Yeah they are, So I got it.
Speaker 6: I gotta say the whole you know, take the morality
argument out of it. Why why can you not be
a good business and still be decent.
Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing with you. That's just their model.
Speaker 6: They don't that's just the fact the model.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we right. Can I just jump in about.
Speaker 8: The reason why I'm not watching w W anymore is
for I'm sorry, my sorry for the language, but for
shitty storylines and things like that, very very unpredictable that
is now becoming predictable. So who said that? Fans who
were WWE like they I've been watching WWE like I'm
probably like six seven years old, and for the last
five years I started to watch less and less and
less because I was getting bored by the storylines and
all the things that happened backstage. So ever since TKO
came in, I've never watched WrestleMania the last two or three.
The Royal Rumble last year was very predictable with the winners,
so I was like, I'm done. I'm really done, and
I'm so glad that I don't watch WWA anymore because
it sucks. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I want to cover something real quick, Kelson that's kind
of outside wrestling that I think goes into here, and
we'll explain some of what we're seeing and it starts
with rim Manuel, So if you're not familiar with Ari
em Manuel, he found an endeavor he worked initially cut
his teeth working for a CAA Creative Artists Association I
think our agency, which is a talent agency in a
literary agency in Hollywood. He came up and actually, if
you've seen the movie or the show Entourage, Ari Gold,
I think is the character is roughly based on Ori
Manuel and what CAIA did. They're referred to somewhat as
the Evil Empire, and this is where he cut his
teeth before breaking off to form his own talent agency.
Their model is much of what we're going to see
from WWE. In Hollywood, there is a constant stream of
people that want to come in to be writers, actors, directors. Right,
you're never going to run out of new talent. So
their model is they'll sign people. Somebody a hot script
or a great read, or a young actor or some
director out of film school has got an indie film
that makes it big. They'll sign them and they basically
get six months to two years to do something, and
if they don't, they just ghost them and they cut them.
And their model is they hope they'll bring in a
new crop of people. Constantly, constantly, they hope they get
a whale that they can land, and then that's who
they'll ride and make all their money off of. And
who that actor, that writer or that director or whoever.
All of the content the IP they produce, they get
a cut of all of that. In addition to that,
CAA and other talent agencies use something called packaging, where
they'll say, okay, yeah, you can hire this actor, but
you also have to hire these other actors. You have
to agree to bring on this director for this other
side project, and they package all of this stuff together,
and then they get fees off of that as well.
A lot of times the talent doesn't even know that's
going on, and there may be a deal that they
think is close that blows up because their agent's trying
to do a package too on something else. It doesn't go,
so they tell the the writer or director whoever, Oh,
that didn't work out. I have friends who used to
be with CIA, and they left specifically because the stuff
that they were working on took a couple of years
to get going wasn't fast enough for CIA. They cut them.
They went to a smaller boutique agency within six months
the deal the stuff they were working, they got off
to the races and they made their stuff. That's what
you're seeing in WWE. That's the model they're going to
start following. It's going to be the release and sign
model and promotion model we've seen from NXT every year,
much more aggressive. If you're not cutting it on the
main roster, they're going to try to negotiate you down
from what they initially signed you at because they don't
perceive your value. If you don't like it, they'll let
you go because they believe in their model. They're going
to bring somebody else in and they're going to get
a whale out of each class. They're going to get
a John Cena, a Rock you know, whoever, stone Cold.
They only need one of those, and they can milk
that person for ten to fifteen years from each class
and eventually that'll build. And that's the model they're going
to continue to follow. And that's that's what I see
happening with the WWE rosters.
Speaker 3: But Barry, would you agree that if you take a
whale out of the ocean or no longer whale, that's
the problem that you're running into with w WE, in
my opinion is because how let me let me let
me talk. If you take a wrestler out of a
wrestling ring, you're no longer a wrestler. Sure when you
write as much as you can. And then so there
was a meme that went around earlier, I think in
the middle of last week where w w E is
no longer rest World Wrestling Entertainment. It's just world entertainment.
I mean there's no wrestling involved in it anymore.
Speaker 7: I mean it's called WP world promo entertainment.
Speaker 2: That's basically what you know to your point on the
whale thing Tellson though, but they view this as taking
Roman Reigns into film. They view Jade Cardoll in the
film and TV like that's endeavor and the t k
O umbrella has their fingers in entertainment like, you're not
far off. So so yeah, they're.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I did a meme to answer that meme. I
put WWE and AW side by side. AEW said, ae
W where the best wrestle WWE. We'll be right back.
Speaker 6: They're not looking for they can turn into entertainers. They're
looking for entertainers they can turn into wrestlers.
Speaker 2: In some instances Yeah. Yeah, they pull from a lot
of different vectors. Go ahead, o' kick. It's not though
they're shuffling out the old They they believe in their
farm system so deeply that this is the model they're
pivoting to. Now, Oh, all of the older folks, you're
you're I If I am a woman on that roster
over the age of thirty five and I'm not on
TV on a regular basis, and sometimes even if I am,
I would be concerned. If I'm a man over the
age of forty and I'm not on TV or close
to forty on TV on a regular basis, I would
be nervous. That's that's the model they're going to follow.
There will be a constant stream of people they can
pull from from college, from CrossFit, from whatever they think
they can put through their camp and convert into a performer.
Most will fail. They only need the one or two
big ones to succeed out of each class, and that's
what they're going to keep cycling through.
Speaker 3: Marcus, the entertainer in our chat said, ww is part
of an umbrella with TKO and Endeavor. Now some WWE
profits go to depth debts of other enterprises in this umbrella,
which is the truth. And I mean that's no secret.
And uh, Marcus, I just got to ask you who
you're swerbing all over the road when you were typing that,
what did you pull over? Yeah? Look with TKO ww
WWE fans are not happy with TKO's there's a lack
of trust there. I see it all the time. I
see a couple people commenting about it all the time.
They don't know what to make of a t KO.
The fact that the matter is is that it's just, uh,
I got a mute. Whoever is unmuted? They could a
ton of noise, but anyway, Yeah, it's just there's a
lot of uncertainty. Are your favorite wrestlers or performers or
talents still going to be in WWE two weeks from now?
What's going on? You know, it's it's kind of a
tough time. You know. The good news is that there
is an AW and there is a stardom, and there
is a tjp W, and there is a new Japan
and MLW is doing really well with their signings, you know. So,
I mean there are options for these talents. They may
not make as much as they would have made. And
Marcus says that he's a passenger in the car, So, yeah,
well that makes sense. You should have not got to
begin with, jeez. But but my point is is that
you're not going to make as much money as you
probably would have in WWE or AW, but you may
make as much money as you would have in WWE
after they ask you to cut your salary.
Speaker 7: I think Backlash will be okay this weekend, but there's
not that one match that I'm like, oh my god,
I have to see that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, look, let's move on because we could go
in circles on that. I kind of want to talk
about some AW stuff the dub so let's talk about
Let's talk about MJF because he just lost the other night.
Kevin Knight didn't win the TNT Championship, but he's still
saying that it doesn't matter. He's going after the AW
World Championship. How does he get to that point other
than I mean, the only thing I could think of
is winning the owen Hart Tournament, which means that MGF
is gonna happen actually wrestles some matches like on a
weekly basis.
Speaker 6: I think the match happens at double or nothing. And
Darby said he had the perfect thing for Max to
put on the line. I'm I would be surprised if
it isn't. If I'll give you the match, but if
you lose, you can never challenge for the title.
Speaker 3: Again, I hope that's not it, because that's been overdone
now that you don't.
Speaker 5: Think what they did with Hangman.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what Max mentions every single freaking chance he gets.
So that's exactly why Darby will say that's what he
has to agree to. You know he's gonna get done
to him what he did to hang Man.
Speaker 3: I honestly don't think so. If anything, he would say, hey,
I'll give you the match, but if I win, Hangman
can challenge for the world champion.
Speaker 5: Tip again, I was gonna say the same thing.
Speaker 3: But you know what I think it's gonna be is
if Darby wins, he gets the lead role of Happy
Gilmore two son of Happy, it would be three three,
Well yeah, Happy go more three son of Happy Extreme Happy. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I do you have to say?
Speaker 7: This and the will Osprey story I think are not
just the two best stories in ae W, but the
two best stories across wrestling right now, Like.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll be getting into the will Osprey bit in
just a little bit.
Speaker 7: I know, but I'm just saying this and the will
Osprey story, I just find them both extremely interesting. We
think they're gonna go one way and then they don't.
Like I thought Max was gonna win the TNT Championship
and he was gonna put that on the line to
get get Darby to give him the rematch, but obviously
didn't happen.
Speaker 3: Rowlands, let me interrupt you because we're getting a lot
of echo from you. Yeah, everything, everything that's said is
coming right back at us. Yeah. And super Steve, you're
gonna have to mute when you're not talking because there's
a lot of static coming out of your end. Let's
look at the chat real quick. Let's see what he
Let's see what Clown had to say about this. He said,
so is I He said, Darby just has to say
I want to fight the best, So if you want
a shot, you gotta let Hangman challenge for the title
once again. That way, win or lose, Hangman is free
of the stipulation. Yeah, that's the only thing I could
think of. If Darby does go with him head to
head with MJF again, it's gonna be that.
Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's a waste of that
stip Yeah, MJF has to offer that, he has to
offer to let that oh, to get Hangman to do something.
I don't think a third party can should be the
person to get rid of that stipulation. I think that's
in their pocket for a bit.
Speaker 6: And especially why would Darby do that. It's not like
him and Hangman are the best of friends or anything
like that. Like maybe if it was a Kinny Omega
or you know, even were just for selfish reasons. But
Darby has no reason to do that. But he does
have a reason to want Max to never be able
to challenge for the title again.
Speaker 3: But now, if you remember back when this stipulation went
into effect and we were talking about how does MGF
and hang Man, how does Hangman get out of this stipulation?
I stated at that time, is that MGF is going
to need help. He may go to Hangman and say, hey,
if you help me get the title back, I'll lift
that stipulation him.
Speaker 6: It was a verbal one.
Speaker 8: It was never written in a contract.
Speaker 2: Right, It's a gentleman's agreement. That's why I'm Jeff's got
to be the one to release him from it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Jeff, Yeah right.
Speaker 7: The what I will say, though, Chris, is it was
Darby that helped Hangman in that Texas death match at
all in Texas to beat Moxley.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that was more about Moxley than it was Ham.
I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if that's what
Darby does. And I also say that because I think
is winning the title.
Speaker 3: Fact, we've got Peter Trand in the in the chat
and he says he Christopher. I don't know if you're talking.
Is Peter talking to Chris on the in the podcast team?
Do you know Peter Tran Chris, I don't believe so.
But okay, maybe somebody else in the chat is named Christopher.
But anyway, welcome, uh Peter, and we are going to
move on because we've got we've still got a ton
to talk.
Speaker 2: About, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but this this one is a pretty interesting
topic to me because Willow Nightingale come back Killer. I
have a graphic up with five women. If you're not
watching on YouTube and are listening to this on the
podcast channels, Britt Baker, Nila Rose, who just became the
aae W Tag Team Championship with Night Champion with Night Shade.
I believe it was Mercedes Monet ReHO and Ruby Soho.
Three of these women have been AW World Women's Champions.
Of course, Mercedes Monette has been the TBS champion, the
longest running TBS champion, and the greatest TBS champion of
all time. And Ruby Soho, well, she's just here because
she's never won a belt before. But somebody's got to
take down down will On nine Gale, and it's pretty
assured that it's going to be somebody that's on a comeback.
When you think so, do you think it's one of
these seven women or do you think it's somebody else
that's not in this photo?
Speaker 8: Well, my pick, I'm sorry, I know people won't be
okay with it, but my pick is Mercedes because I'm
a huge Mercedes fan. But if I don't pick her,
I would pick Ruby. I would pick Ruby one hundred percent.
I want her back in AW.
Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough, and I have no problem with Mercedes
either anybody else.
Speaker 6: I agree with the rollery there. I think I like
Ruby as the one to being the one to kind
of stop to come back kill her and win that
title and get her herself a big moment. But like
you said, all of these other women have had big moments,
not to you know, just because they have, they don't
deserve it again. But I think Mercedes is going to
focus on the world title when she comes back. Three hoo.
I love, but she's gone and then back and gone
and back so much. I don't know if they have
faith in her to be a champion. For a faker,
I think she's doing very well in her dentistry job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was that was That was bad.
Speaker 6: I was prod say something, No, you weren't. Yes, I
kind of.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Anybody else with any comments about this before we
move on, Steve.
Speaker 2: Do you guys think that, like, because I look at
Mercedes as the easy pick, and I'm wondering if some
of that is because they're trying to kind of establish
Mercedes and Willow as one of those longer term feuds.
So we've got Swerve and Hanger, m F. Darby with
their history. On the women's side, there isn't really there'sn't
really anybody that's got that long term feud you can
heat up at any time. Do you think there's a
chance that's kind of what they're going for.
Speaker 3: I don't know. You know. One other thing that I
can say is that we still have not heard anything
about what is ailing Tony's Storm.
Speaker 6: Which yeah, I was gonna say.
Speaker 3: I mean, even though they say it's been reported that
Tony Storm's not going to be back in twenty twenty six,
we've seen the alternate versions of Tony Storm recently, So
maybe she is coming back, and maybe this is where
she's going. I don't see Mercedes because she's already been
the TBS champion. Why would she go after that again,
She's got to go after Tekla.
Speaker 8: Win.
Speaker 6: I believe that would make her the first ever for
poke around champion.
Speaker 3: If she how do you figure she's only got one
championship at a W Why did.
Speaker 6: I think they won the Why did I think they
won the tag titles?
Speaker 3: Because you're just you're you're not thinking.
Speaker 6: I've Oh, I wanted them to win so much. I
guess I made it up in my mind.
Speaker 3: You convinced yourself. I do that all the time. I
look in the mirror and I totally, you know, lose
that whole Brad Pitt area that I thought I had
before looking in the mirror. But let's move on. I
do want to move on quickly, because again, we have
a lot to get into. I think we've said what
what needed to be said. Uh, Shane's not here, but Chris,
explain to us what happened with the United Empire in
New Japan. I know that, Andradi Alidolo won the i
w g P Global Heavyweight Championship and the United Empire,
which included will Osprey. Also what about care to explain.
Speaker 6: Yes, Andrade on at night one of Wrestling Down Taku
if he did Yokuki in a fantastic match for the
i w t P Global Heavyweight Title.
Speaker 3: Which is what I just said.
Speaker 6: And then night two, will Osprey, Great o'conn and Hanare
won the never Open Weight six man tag titles, and
Callum Newman retained the i w t P.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're not We're not. We're not going to go
into all the n W g j p W stuff.
Speaker 6: Because reunited him. You asked about United Empire.
Speaker 3: In relation to will Ospray. I don't care about anything else.
I'm sorry, but NJ to BW bores me to tears,
and I don't want to feel like falling asleep in
the middle of a podcast.
Speaker 6: That was a very interesting deal. At the end, after
Calum Newman's match, he was going to attack Shingo Chicagi,
who he had just defeated, and Osprey like no, and
Calum basically was like, this is who we are, like
you need to remember that. And Osprey was a little reluctant,
but he did blast him with the Hidden Blade and
knocked him the fl You know, one of.
Speaker 3: The things that I find interesting, Chris about this whole
thing is uh Is Andrades went over Yoda Yoda's Yoda Suji,
I did it again. Liberty liberty, Liberty, liberty. But yeah,
because Yoda was the or Suji was the one that
was really coming down hard on a W saying I
don't like AW. I don't like our relationship, meaning Nu
Japan's relationship with AW. So this is definitely something to
me that's setting up a matchup Forbidden Door, which makes
sense because because it's an IWGP title, so there is
a chance that Andretti will lose it at Forbidden Door.
If Andretta was fighting Yoda Suji for the I don't
know the TNT title, there's no way in hell Suji
would win it.
Speaker 6: You know. So originally this match was going to be
a Kid versus Yoga Suji, which added a whole other
layer because Game Kid before coming to AW was all
about New Japan, like I mean, he's a dojo guy,
like he was New Japan, New Japan. And then the moment,
I don't know if maybe he felt like they didn't
offer him enough money or a W offered him more
or whatever, he was just like F New Japan, F Tanahasi,
I'm all in with a W, and I think the
same result would have happened. Yeah, this is definitely build
up in a big way for Forbidden Doing.
Speaker 3: Now with the United Empire, is there a power struggle
for leadership and United Empire right now?
Speaker 6: You know it's interesting like United Empire they have that
great respect for willof Ray because you know he started it.
He you know, he brought back Great o'conn from his discursion.
He really gave Hanare a new les on life. But
when he left and they were a little directionless, and
Calum Newman has stepped up and brought him back to
what they were because Osprey was not always the happy,
smiling baby face. Do you think of he was an assassin?
He was I knew that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean he was a he was
he was a baby face I think when he first
came into AW, but quickly turned it into a heel
you know for quite a while don Koalas and all
that stuff. Yeah, sure, you know. So it's going to
be interesting to see what happens with with the United
Empire and a W, because, like I said, I really
don't care what United Empire does in New Japan because
I can't watch New Japan. It's like watching paint dry.
To me, it.
Speaker 7: Feels like this is a good two pronged story, like
they're doing from two different perspectives. In a W with
well a Spray, it's more of the mental aspect, whereas
in New Japan it seems like they're doing the n
ring stuff.
Speaker 5: And I kind of like how.
Speaker 7: They're gonna, m h, I guess weave the story together.
Speaker 6: And yeah, it was a I was gonna say that
was a lot of fun with the six man tag
title match, you know, him working with Great o'conn and
PINAI like they were definitely more vicious than he wanted
to be and had to be like, hey, this is
how we do things. Remember, Like that was an interesting
part of that match. It all adds to the Osprey
story for sure. There's definitely a lot there, and I
think Forbidden Door will be very interesting with that kind
of as a big focus.
Speaker 2: Oh how much of this is Will being influenced by
two different voices on his shoulders to be more intense
because Moxley's kind of trying to get to him in
the same way that United Empire might be.
Speaker 6: Well, so one thing, but when he was telling him,
when Callum Newman was telling Spray to hit Hingo Tokagi,
Osprey turned away, Allan grabbed him go go on death writer.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: The other thing we have to think about, though, Chris,
is if you remember on last week's episode of Dynamite,
Samoa Joe called out Will Ospray because he was saying, like,
we helped you get to the point where you are,
and so there's that aspect too.
Speaker 5: Where's that whole thing to go?
Speaker 6: There's so many elements of the story with Osprey that
make it so interesting, Like, like you said, yeah, it's
one of the best stories because it's not just it's
not about oh is he good enough? It's a redemption
art that's not a redemption art. Because like it. It's
just really interesting forward to say it.
Speaker 3: I want to go to the chat because we do
have some comments in there. Peter says, the war dogs
made Callum heel all the beaten he got in the past. Conrad,
is he just a low Conrad? Are you going to
if you wouldn't mind answering in the chat? Are you
going to be doing your Dynamite review show tomorrow night
after the three hour block if you let me know.
Shane is in the chat says what's up, folks, and
he also said sorry missed this evening, just woke up
from very much needed nap. Well, Loddie dah and Peter said,
Billy Death writer, and then Shane also said, by the way,
I was only joking with you. Shane said, speaking of
SMO Joe, he's heard he's gonna be making a retirement
and run sooner than later, which makes some sense, which seriously,
which makes which? Which makes sense? I mean I think
he did announce his that he was going to be
retiring suitor later a few months ago, wasn't that right?
And then Marcus the God said, this will Osprey angle
makes Forbidden Door the most interesting it's ever been. That's
not saying much. And uh and Shade said, Kel said,
I will break through that steelcage door. Yeah, yeah, just
like RoboCop. Yes, let's move Let's move on, because uh,
we do need to talk about.
Speaker 2: You're gonna talk, We're gonna talk.
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about dynamite, and uh, I guess the
first thing that we need to talk about about dynamite.
Conrad hasn't answered me yet, but normally after a Dynamite
Conrad Cushman and Derek Shelton hosts the aw Dynamite Review
show over on the Everything Pro Wrestling podcast that is
at EPW show on YouTube. It's a lot of fun.
I don't know if they're planning on doing it tomorrow night.
Maybe we'll get an answer by the time this podcast
is over, but Conrad just kind of peeked in and
poked in and said hello, I think. But anyway, if
they are doing it tomorrow night, it would be right after,
like ten minutes after the Dynamite Collision Block goes off
the air tomorrow night at eleven o'clock PM Eastern time.
Then then we would have a normal normal next week
with the two hour Dynamite. It would be right after
that Dynamite. So there you go. It's a lot of fun.
Go ahead and go over there and check them out.
But let's move on to talking about Dynamite and a
Dynamite preview, so to speak. Excuse me, and the first
one match we're going to talk about is Darby versus
Kevin Knight forty eight w World Championship. Does anybody see
Darby Allen losing this title tomorrow? I don't.
Speaker 6: Hell no, yeah I don't either.
Speaker 8: Seeing that match is gonna be a banger.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I've said this multiple times. Darby Allen title runs
are simple. He wrestles every freaking week, has great matches,
pulls off the victories until it comes pay per view
time where he loses to a big heel. It's it's predictable,
but not in a bad way at all, because the
matches are always so damn good.
Speaker 3: You know, And I've lost interest to Darby. Darby is
not World Championship material to me, and I just I can't.
I just don't understand it. I mean, you've got a
one hundred and eighty five pound guy out there being
the big man in aw and it's again, like I
said last week, it's reminding me way too much of
your Cassidy International thing, where he defended forty four times.
He had a match every week, and every match I
did the same way. Practically, it was unbearably boring to me.
I would rather see two mid carters than a Darby
Allen World Championship match every week. Now. If he was
doing it once every three weeks or something like that,
I would have as much of a problem with it.
But he's doing it even twice a week. I just
don't get it. I'm not enjoying it. I'm sorry, I'm not.
Speaker 7: You definitely make a valid point, Tellison, I do understand
where you're coming from. I'm personally enjoying this, not as
much as I enjoyed what Orange Cassidy was doing. And
I don't mean that as a troll. I just am
that big of a fan of Orange Cassidy. I want
to see him as AW World Champion at some point.
But in terms of this, I love that they're pushing
Kevin Knight this much. I've become a huge fan of his.
I think he will be AW World champion at some point.
Not coming out of this match, though, but these two
are gonna put on a really good match Rowlands.
Speaker 3: My concern is you're gonna have Darby beating He's not
beating like jobbers. He's beating contenders. And Darby is beating
all these contenders, which makes them invalid as contenders to
me for until they go and beat other contenders themselves.
So basically, you know, it's it is what it is.
I go on to the chat. Uh. Shane says, I'm
with Telson on this one. I don't hate Darby anymore,
but I think he's gonna run out of gas and
drop soon. It's clear that Osprey is gonna be the guy.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Connor Dad said, I like Darby's run, but it's not
long for this world. Doesn't have to be Conrad again.
Are you doing the Dynamite review show? After the three
hour Dynamite tomorrow night? Uh Peter says Darby is a
fighting champion. Of course he is. You know. My thing
is that you know what? Roland says, I was every
bit of a fan of Orange Cassidy when he was
the International champion. By the end of his International Championship reign,
I didn't care if I and I think I even
said this, I could go without seeing Orange Cassidy in
a single match for six months. You and I are different, well,
and I respect that rollins. It's just that's just the
way I feel. I mean, I was just burned out
on Orange Cassidy because his run was so freaking unbelievable.
Was just not And when I say unbelievable, that there
wasn't like, oh, that's unbelievable. Uh, that was it. Conrad
did say that it's going to be a Thursday review
this week instead of a Wednesday review, So there you go.
Speaker 2: I think this ends up in a clean finish. I
think last week's match between Kevin Knight and m JFF
set this up. I think we're going to see Kevin
Knight with a legitimate shot to win it, and I
think I'm Jab's going to screw him. I disagree that
winning over contenders makes them not contenders. I don't think
that's applicable to anybody else. I don't know why that
would be applicable if they lose to Derby, and Darby's
title run was always entitled or intended as a short
term run, and he is not. He is not losing
in the way. We don't yet, but I trust my
instincts on this. I don't see him going on a
forty match winning streak. I think he loses the spelt
sooner rather than later. And he's not winning the same
way that Orange Cassidy was winning. He is. He is
fighting these people to the death, and he's not necessarily
winning in a fluke win. He's winning with multiple finishers
to finish off large opponents and more athletic opponents. And
I think the tell is that he won the title
on fluke. He very much came into this title wing
and I'm on record as saying I think this was
a mistake.
Speaker 6: I was not.
Speaker 2: I don't think this was the right thing to do,
but I think they'd say that they're doing it the
right way. And to your point, Kelson, they have to
end it sooner ret later, or it will fall into
the tired trope. If this is a short term title
reign and he drops it too somebody at double or
uping or shortly thereafter, I think that's fine. If Darby's
not your your flavor, I think that's okay too. And
I understand it's going to be hard for people to
enjoy these matches if they're not a fan of Darby
or style to begin with. That's totally valid. Well, it's
not that anybody who thinks it's going to be like
a six month rain is.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not. It's not. Well, here's the thing
is that this is what Conrad in the chat asked
the question, I'll put it up again. He said, I
think something to think about is what is your all
in main event? If Darby is still the champion at
all in, it's a massive fail, massive fail.
Speaker 6: Massive.
Speaker 2: I don't think we need to look at that. The
ratings aren't there to support him as a drafts. He's
not drawing, he's not drawing ratings. This is a short
term thing because if they're gonna do it, this is
the period to do it. And they're doing it, and
it's fine, and I think it'll be over and it's
not going to be a big issue for folks who
don't like to go ahead.
Speaker 6: Chris, the all main event is JF will offer. But
I'm saying JF wins the title back and double or nothing.
It's just it makes sense, you know, he Darby, whatever
is put on the line is put on the line.
He could win, you know, because that's just who he is.
And then he goes on and you have the not
necessarily hometown, home country hero defeat the douchebag villain who
is terrorizing the company again by being championed.
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this, Chris. You said that
the all inmate event is going to be will Ospury
and MGF, which means which means that possibly it's going
to be will Osprey or MGF taking the title off
of Darby Allen unless it changes twice before then, which
is a possibility. But of the two of the two, Chris,
who would be your pick to take the title off
of Darby Allen?
Speaker 6: Like I said, winning a double or nothing. I think
that's the way the story is going. Like Darby, you know,
was able to get one over on him, then he
has this title run where he defends week after week
after week and MJF comes back at double or nothing
and is able to beat him like he's done almost
every time they faced off. Like Darby does not have
the Darby doesn't really have a great win lost record
against His big win came as MJF was done and
loaded when the ref had their back turn instead of
taking advantage, which Darby then did. So the story just
makes sense for MJF to take the title back at
double or nothing.
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah there is I got some I got some bad
news for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want to before you go. Rod Shane
just said that MGF picks it up, Osprey snags it
at all in. Conrad said love this pod. Thank you, Conrad.
I appreciate that. Go ahead, Wrongs, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: There is a rumor that aew is gonna be running
a pay per view in July at the Bell Center
in Montreal. Yeah, called Redemption, And I would imagine they're
gonna do that because one god is gonna win the title.
And maybe that's where you and that's how you set
up Penny Omega versus will ospray for the title in Wembley.
Speaker 8: You took the words out of my mouth.
Speaker 7: Rawlin.
Speaker 5: You're welcome, Val, You're welcome.
Speaker 3: All right. Well, look, I want to move on because
we still have a couple of things to go over
before we had the podcast, and we're kind of running
along already. I want to move on to pretty interesting
match Wrange Cassidy against Dax Hartwood. It's a double Jeopardy match.
If Orange Cassidy beats Dax Harwood, the conglomeration gets a
future AW World Tag Team title match. However, if Dax
Hartwood defeats Orange Casside, that means that DA's Hardwood, Cash Wheeler,
FDR and Tomaso Champa get a shot at the AW
World Trios Championship. So it's kind of a you know,
it's not kind of a it is a double Jeopardy
matcht Yeah, it is. It's a it's a cool little
stip on a match that otherwise may not have been
as cool to watch. You know, let's face it, you
know this is a pretty This adds something to the match,
and it's not predictable. So what do you guys think?
What do you think of the stipulation? And do you
guys have any thoughts on who may win this match?
Speaker 5: That is interested in this match?
Speaker 7: Sorry, I was interested in this match even without the stipulation.
Orange Cassidy has always been one of my favorites, as
I said earlier, and I like Dax Harwood as a
singles wrestler. There was a period of time where I
was saying he should get a bit of a singles run,
maybe give him the TNT Championship something like that. But nonetheless,
I think the stipulation just adds to it. I like
what you said, Kelson about making it more unpredictable.
Speaker 5: It feels like it Dax is gonna win just.
Speaker 7: Because they're building to double or nothing and the big
tag team match, so it makes more sense for Dax
Harwood to win. But if they want Orange to win,
I'm not gonna be upset about that either.
Speaker 3: Well said Ken. By the way, Rowlins in Chad Shane
just said that Rowlins and I are going to be
friends forever. I love him, so you keep that romance
going strong.
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm gonna go short and sweeten. I'm gonna pick Dak.
Speaker 3: There's really no wrong answer. I think that whoever wins
this match, the resulting match is gonna be fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and summed it up pretty good. This would be
a fun match without the stipulation, but the stipulation just
adds makes it a little more unpredictable. I'm gonna say
Jax windsay, all right, well.
Speaker 3: Go ahead. Like that.
Speaker 2: They're just doing these more often, these types of STIPs.
It's been nice on TV to have more significance to
some of these matches. So I was I was. I'm
pleased to see them do this here, and I like
they've been doing this more often.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like.
Speaker 5: Jack piggyback off of something.
Speaker 10: Let's go okay, So I want Dax to win, and
I want to see uh f TR and they're gonna
team up with uh Tomaso or that trio.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see.
Speaker 10: Them as a team and see how well they do
against the colomeration.
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, that's a Robins go ahead, buddy.
Speaker 7: So I just want to pick piggyback off of what
Chris was saying. If Dax is gonna win this match,
I don't think it'll be clean. So I agree with
you on that one. Just the way FTR have been
presented as heels, it feels like a clean finish wouldn't
make set.
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, look, guys, I want to move on to
talk about yet another match that's happening on the three
hour AW Dynamite, And we've actually got two more matches
to talk about on the AW Dynamite Collision Block. But
this one is also an eliminator match. John Moxley versus
Muppet Jesus Juice Robinson for the uh chance for Juice
Robinson to get a actual time shot at the AW
Continental Championship. This one could go either way to what
do you guys think.
Speaker 6: Moxley My heart, My heart says Juice, My head says Moxley.
You could have had really good masses against each other
in the past. So I'm looking forward to this one.
Regardless of the outcome.
Speaker 7: Moxley is going to use Moxley is going to use
this match to send a direct message to Will Osprey.
Speaker 2: I think where did we're did Ocatta debut? Mhm Ray?
W wasn't I thought it was?
Speaker 6: It might have been.
Speaker 5: Was Atlanta?
Speaker 2: You sure?
Speaker 5: I think it was Atlanta?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well if that's the case, never mind.
I had an idea.
Speaker 3: But well, Shane just had an idea. You said, uh,
juice rules, said do juice rule as Shane would say.
But he also said, but I've got money on this
possibility being a device to bring back Switchblade.
Speaker 2: That's where I was going. That's why I I hope.
So that's that's why I asked him. That's for Okata debut.
I think he did viewed in Charleston. I could be wrong,
but I think he did. But I was thinking, Okay,
if there's a history of tape user returns to Charleston,
which they can't Celtic it to save their life in
that market. I don't know why you said, but yeah,
I would. I would not be shocked if postmanchan Against
leads to switch Plake. Yeah, the guns versus death Writers.
Speaker 3: Charleston is going to be very much Okay, well let's
move on because we do have a couple more things
to talk about before we wrap it up for tonight.
Kind of there's so many things I want to talk out.
The women's match tomorrow night. This is a non title match.
This is basically a grudge match between Hakarushida and Chris Statlander.
And you know, these are two These are two teams
that don't have names. Very rare thing in the aw
women's division to have two teams facing each other that
don't have names. So I'm going to give I'm interested
to hear what you would say for Hakarlshida and Chris
Statlander what their name should be. I do have a
name for Amna Shira, Colin Harley Camra because they're such
good friends. And this is the only reason I'm saying
this is because they are good friends. I'm going to
name them bosom Buddies.
Speaker 6: I knew you were going there, so you know, I wasn't.
Speaker 3: I had considered boobs of wrath, but I thought that
was a little crass boy, And I didn't want to
say that with Valerie here because I'm a respectable old gentleman,
but I said it anyway. So it's about.
Speaker 5: The case.
Speaker 3: About sixteen minutes ago, I think I hit my sweet
spot and I but anyway, does anybody see this is
something that I really wanted to ask people because when
I'm watching, specifically Karoshida and Chris Statlander, everybody's saying, Karlsheeda
is gonna turn so fast. I don't think so. Now.
I think Chris Stantland, who just stands there just you
can practically see this steam coming out of her ears.
She is just so over the top mad all the time.
I think she's in a haul off and kill kill
Akaro Sheeta tomorrow night, just literally try to kill her,
you know. I think that's what it's gonna boil down to.
I think that a car has just found her voice.
A boy, she found her voice. You know, she's doing fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 2: That accent kind of softens up real quick there when
she gets heat, it doesn't it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it was you that pointed out
buried hellwhen not only She'da but all the Japanese women
when they're speaking English, they're saying these sweet kind things,
and then when they revert to Japanese they're vile.
Speaker 2: As I think it's Chris. I think it was Chris.
But like SHE'DA the last couple of promos she's done,
especially last week when she was heated and like her
accent softened pretty heavy, Menas is still thick. But I
think SHE'DA plays up her accent a little more when
she needs to, and she was pretty good on the
mic last week. I thought that that backstage she was
some of the best stuff she's done.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 3: She'da does speak very good English, but she still cannot
say the word woman, and I love that you can't
say the week because she says I'm gonna be the
Women's World Championship Champion again, and I can't help it.
I think that is the most adorable thing ever. And
I know she's doing that stuff on her There's no
way women.
Speaker 6: Both her and Mina play up the accent. Okada does
as well. Test I think his English is still pretty basic.
Speaker 3: Though so his.
Speaker 6: But yeah, all of them play up the accident a
little more. And yeah, I mean Japanese is a tonal language,
so like when they are fired up, it comes through
more because you put that emphasis on certain words and everything.
I will always root for Mina Shirakaga, like.
Speaker 3: Yes, whatever, you just whatever, you just I'm just gonna
tell you. Come on, you use that weird accent, you know, I.
Speaker 6: Use Japanese. Like I said, it is a total language.
Speaker 3: Yes, you have said that in the past as well,
that it is a total.
Speaker 6: Lan But yeah, Meeta shipal all the way.
Speaker 3: Was some buddies. Let's let's let's be adults here. I
can't do that. I could never pull that off anyway.
Let's move on to Saturday night, fair Way to Heaven.
There is a big match. Didn't didn't and and I
apologize because I've had a brain fart right now, But
didn't Jungle Jack Perry and Mark Davis have a recent
match already? Yes it was Dynasty zero Hour. Yes, yeah,
that's right, Yeah it was. I knew they had a
recent match. I just couldn't place it. It was driving
me crazy. Uh was Jack Perry the national champion in
that match?
Speaker 6: But you know what, the match was really freaking good,
and I can understand them play it back.
Speaker 3: So do you think that this is a match where
they're just trying to recapture that fire or you know,
in the past, when we've had rematches like this the
Challengers won. Do you guys see Mark Davis winning this match?
Speaker 6: I think so, don't think. I don't think it's likely,
but I wouldn't be stocked if he does. It's one
of those where I'm about like sixty five percent shore
Jack Perry is gonna win.
Speaker 7: Jack is the national champion, not the TNT champion.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 2: Davis needs a built on him.
Speaker 3: I did want to bring up something that Shange has said.
He said, I'll be right back, Folks, got to take
this call. It's TKEO. They keep talking about contract restructuring,
and I'm pretty sure I'm about to get a sweet raise.
Speaker 2: Get it.
Speaker 3: You should have here earlier when we were talking about TKO.
That's all I can say. I wish you would have
hopped onto the pods for that segment. All right, Well
back to Jack and Mark Davis anybody else. I think
that this title is going to change hands.
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna change.
Speaker 5: I really, I think it's gonna change.
Speaker 3: Oh, let me ask you specifically, why do you think
it's gonna change? Is there a reason? Is it just
a heart or gut feeling, or is there something you know,
you know other than that.
Speaker 8: Well, I I saw the match a Dynasty Live and
it was great. And I've seen the work that Mark
Davis put in with everything that's happened to him and
being paired up with Jake something I think it.
Speaker 11: Was his name, and then in TNA it was yeah, yeah,
and you know with everything with Kyle being injured and
everything that has been put towards him, and he stepped up.
Speaker 8: So I think he deserves a title. And the was
a trios champion, right he was, Yes, he was, and
it was not long. So I don't see why he
shouldn't be champion again as a reward for all of
this hard work.
Speaker 5: Well, it adds to everything with the don Callous family.
Speaker 2: Right, please don't mention down we.
Speaker 5: Don Callous. That's all done.
Speaker 2: I love him.
Speaker 3: Peters in the chat says, I hope Davis wins. Period
