WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.080 It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for 2 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:16.239 ignition with the AW fan podcast team. This is Kelson 3 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:17.760 and this is Alex. 4 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.679 And there's a lot of news in the past week 5 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.719 since since we last had our podcast, and I think 6 00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.160 we're gonna start with the freshest piece of news, not 7 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.960 the most exciting, but the newest news in aew land, 8 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.759 which is they just announced the new show. I believe 9 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:43.200 it's starting on Saturday, after Collision, and it's ae w Overdrive. 10 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.759 He had t Overdrive And Okay, yeah, weird that they. 11 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.520 Named the TNT Overdrive, you know. 12 00:00:53.079 --> 00:01:00.759 Yeah, yeah, because it kind of implies that he is 13 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:09.599 trying to like synergize a little bit with AW. Imagine that, Yeah, 14 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.640 and I mean that. I think there was also a 15 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.920 little piece of news or maybe just reporting on the 16 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.480 fact that the month of July had passed, but that 17 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:26.319 aw's exclusive negotiating window with with TNT, well Warner Brothers 18 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.239 Discovery had passed. This kind of seems like, well, you're 19 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.239 announcing new shows, you know, that seems a little bit 20 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.599 promising for a continuation of their partnership. 21 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.680 But I think Warner Brothers Discovery is doing their quarterly 22 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.319 like not their I don't know how to explain it. 23 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:54.359 It's like they're quarterly figures. They're discussing their four quarterly 24 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.760 figures out of comfortence. So there is a chance that 25 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.280 we may hear news tomorrow. The call is at four 26 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.480 point thirty Eastern time. Oh, there is a chance that 27 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.960 we may hear some news about a new deal tomorrow. 28 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.919 I doubt it, but there is a chance. But back 29 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:19.039 to Overdrive, Yeah, this is this is you know, it 30 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.159 seems like from what I've understand, Alex, it's a show 31 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:30.199 that has like adrenaline clips, you know, people doing things 32 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.360 out of the ordinary, exciting adrenaline field and AW wrestlers 33 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.199 will be commenting on the clips as or after they're shown. 34 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:48.639 So that's where the AW park comes in. Originally, when 35 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.919 they announced it, it was kind of ambiguous the way the 36 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.280 announced them, you know, and it was like it was 37 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.280 gonna be AW wrestlers doing these adrenaline stuff. I'm like 38 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.960 Darby Allen basically, you know. 39 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.560 Yeah, but it's not that it's like people send in 40 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:11.520 clips are they gower YouTube for dangerous clips of people 41 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.840 almost dying? And it sounds kind of like a Spike 42 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.680 TV show from back in the day type of thing. 43 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.080 I wonder we'll have some original content made specifically for 44 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.800 it too. You know, that could very well happen. 45 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:25.439 That's gonna be weird. 46 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.439 Reminds me of an MTV show that with Rob Dearde 47 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.240 that he had clips and stuff and they all commented 48 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:34.960 on and stuff like that. That's what it kind of 49 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.479 reminds me. I don't know the name of it, but 50 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.280 it's Ridiculousness. 51 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:39.960 Yeah, that's it. 52 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:47.039 I'd be hi. No, I just thought that because the 53 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:49.159 never mind. 54 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.639 Yeah, it doesn't sound like a show that you're gonna 55 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.960 DVR or need to tune in for, but it also 56 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.280 sounds like something that you could have in the background 57 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.439 that I don't know. 58 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.000 You know, it's kind of weird. 59 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.439 It may be fun. It may be fun. 60 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.599 Hey, I love Ridiculousness. That was one of my favorite 61 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.599 shows for the longest time, and so I got rid 62 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.399 of my cable and now you can go on YouTube 63 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.319 and watch they have a. 64 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.319 Sometimes though, you'll find a. 65 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:30.240 Live version on YouTube that's just nothing but streaming Ridiculousness stuff. So, 66 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.480 you know, it could be a lot of fun. It's 67 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.879 just going to depend on where they get the clips 68 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.439 from and how over the top, they. 69 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:44.879 Go, well, yeah, people like Orange Cassidy commenting and stat 70 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.920 Land or people like that who are naturally funny commenting 71 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.000 on it. I think it'll be a good way for 72 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.040 people to get to know AWS was on a different 73 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:56.279 basis and just wrestling. 74 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.000 Yeah, m hm, and I guess just from TNT's perspective, 75 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.879 this is a good way to keep the AW audience 76 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.439 potentially watching another half hour hour of TV. 77 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.759 Well, the other more important thing is that these clips 78 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.720 individually can show up on YouTube. You know what I mean, 79 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.000 because look at shows like America's Got Talent or Canada's 80 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.319 Got Talent, you'll see individual auditions being put on YouTube, 81 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.240 and you can also put these individual clips on YouTube 82 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.480 with the AW wrestler's reaction. What does that do? It 83 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.920 gets people invested in AW wrestlers in a different light. 84 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.240 And we'll be talking about something later that has another 85 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.279 AW wrestler that's going to be doing something that you 86 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.800 can see them in a different light. But let's move 87 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.160 on because we do have some other stuff that we 88 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.720 want to talk about. One of the biggest things that 89 00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.959 I thought this was pretty interesting is that the news 90 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.879 came out from I believe it was Russell purist that 91 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.480 broke it that the Luca Brothers, Ray, Phoenix, and Pentam 92 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.800 will be leaving a W once there their contracts are 93 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:22.600 up and moving to WWE. Uh. But interestingly, and this 94 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:27.000 is what I found interesting, a W has a thing 95 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.800 that they do, and we discussed this a couple three 96 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.680 weeks ago, UH called a w timelines where they go 97 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.560 through an entire career of a w wrestlers. I note 98 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.879 that they've done, for example, Julia Hart and they covered her, 99 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.199 covered her from her first match ever in Darker Dark 100 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:52.920 Elevation all the way up until her last match. You know. 101 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.439 At the time of the release of the episode, well 102 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.560 today at noon Eastern time, they were lea East A 103 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:11.120 premiered live a timeline aw timeline episode of the Lucha Brothers. 104 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.720 And the reason why that's interesting is that they have 105 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.439 since taken that video down. It's now private. 106 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.560 Yeah, when it first came out, I was like, you know, 107 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.000 I even made a post about it on aw fan Hub. 108 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.199 I said, you know, why would they put this on 109 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:35.480 here if they're going to WWE. So frankly, when I 110 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.920 saw that episode, and I did watch a little bit 111 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:44.000 of it, you know, it was definitely there and like 112 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.920 I said, it's now gone. It's private, but you could 113 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.680 definitely watch it at New and Eastern time. I think 114 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.680 I started watching it about twelve fifteen. But anyway, why 115 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:58.839 would they put that episode on if they were going 116 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.439 to WW And I was thinking, well, that whole report 117 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.040 was just full of shit. And I was like, okay, 118 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.120 well the Luca brothers are staying because nobody stupid enough 119 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.000 to put it on on YouTube this big like a 120 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.319 these shows are like two and a half hours long, 121 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.680 you know, let's and then they took it down. So 122 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.680 I went from older, well they're definitely not going. It 123 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.959 was like, well, they took it down, so they're definitely going. 124 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.800 Now my question comes in is I've seen the same 125 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:34.279 thing from about fifteen different sources, but not one single 126 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:35.320 source that I would recall. 127 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:40.000 Relaable are the only one that I Brian Alvarez confirmed it. 128 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.840 Okay, because at first when I saw that, then I 129 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.159 saw that they had done some new trademarks. 130 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:48.639 You know, they went out and did some. 131 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.200 New That was last week they did that. 132 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.120 But I started thinking, well, are they basing this because 133 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.159 these guys went out and got some new names. Is 134 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.240 that why they're saying that so, like I said, I 135 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.000 didn't seen it, Brian, he was part of the only 136 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.240 one I haven't seen because I've seen it everywhere else 137 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.639 every time I go on to Reddit if somebody's got 138 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:09.039 something new. 139 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.000 Lucire Brothers are going to WWE, but I just I 140 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:13.399 don't know. 141 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.399 I just don't see a reason why they would want 142 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.840 to do that, because that limits them they can go. 143 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:19.639 Anywhere they want to go. 144 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.120 I mean, they won't be able to participate in the 145 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.679 in the LOOTA stuff they do now, they won't be 146 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.679 able to participate in Triple A or I don't know 147 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.679 they still is WW still working with the other group, 148 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.759 the other LUTI group from down in Mexico. 149 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.799 I look, they could work with Triple A. I don't 150 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:45.559 know if they are. 151 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.200 Yeah, I know that they were working with one of 152 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.440 them at one point in time. But like that's one 153 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.559 of the things that the Lucier Brothers are known for, 154 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.519 is going down and doing those other shows. And to me, 155 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.799 you know, I get the the fact that they want 156 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.440 to move on to something new that might be a 157 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:08.399 bit a step for them. But I from watching the 158 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.639 WWE and all the different things that we've seen them 159 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.399 and how they handle people. I think someone replied, I 160 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.600 don't know if it was you, keilsel or someone replied 161 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.039 to one of your posts about how they might have 162 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.720 seen how good Cody's doing in WWE and that might 163 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.039 want them to go there. 164 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.120 Not the same thing. They're Latinos. 165 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:32.639 Latinos in WWE are not well pushed in the first place, 166 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.480 So I don't know, this just seems like a really 167 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.159 weird thing. 168 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.519 Well, I don't. Look, here's the thing with in my opinion, 169 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.240 it's more about if they're going to WWE, they maybe 170 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.120 getting bigger bank you never know. And the other thing 171 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.799 is is that maybe they don't want to travel at 172 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.000 do these indie shows, and I think they own their 173 00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:00.679 own promotion or whatnot. Maybe WWE has made concessions to them. 174 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.600 Remember w W he is no longer owned by Vince 175 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:08.679 McMahon and run by John Laurinidis and Nick Kahn and 176 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.159 all that happy horseshit, you know. I mean, it's triple 177 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.960 H and endeavor, So we don't know how they're handling things. 178 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.440 I mean, look, they got Stephanie Veker, they got Julia, 179 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:25.960 so they're obviously doing something to draw people to the company, 180 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.159 which I think is fantastic, great, more power to them. 181 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.519 It's all about keeping the wrestler. Look, wrestlers are going 182 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.639 to wrestle, you know, and they're going to go out 183 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.879 and they're going to perform. And now you've got two 184 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.759 companies that are viable places for them to you know, 185 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:49.679 to perform, you know, and owner Craft and whatever. So 186 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.039 it is what it is. I mean, yeah, I'd. 187 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.759 Also say that like Lucer bros. Haven't been treated all 188 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.840 that well in the last year or longer in a 189 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.799 you know, Penta had that that now the international title 190 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:10.919 win by accident. He was not supposed to win that match. 191 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:16.480 I don't think you know Phoenix Phoenix, Yeah, sorry, that's 192 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.480 what I meant. Ray Phoenix. Yeah, he he had that 193 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.279 match where John Moxley got concussed and he ended up 194 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:28.320 winning the title. Tenta has pretty much been in the 195 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.440 the guy that loses matches on dynamite role for the 196 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.639 past year. LUs Phoenix has kind of been doing that 197 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:40.159 while he's not been injured. So if I was them, 198 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.320 I would see if I'm getting paid the same amount 199 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.840 to go into WWE, it might be like a fresh 200 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.399 start for them. I think Penta especially is a guy 201 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.559 that they could have done a lot more with in 202 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.799 a W in the time that they've had him, you know, 203 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.399 when they had that, like Penta oscuro thing and Alex 204 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.639 Abrahnt days dressed as the cripkeeper. I think things like 205 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.120 that are cool. Like in Luca Underground, he was the 206 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.399 guy that broke people's arms and he had he was 207 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.159 kind of the main character of that show in a. 208 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:11.799 Lot of ways. 209 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.120 And it hasn't really translated to AW as much as 210 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.600 I thought it would for him. 211 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:22.600 So I understand now, Alex, do you think that you know, 212 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.919 part of it has been Ray Phoenix has been injured 213 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.840 quite a bit the last year year. 214 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:28.240 And a half. 215 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:32.759 Yeah, I think that that is probably a big part 216 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.240 of it. That it's kind of been stop and start 217 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.399 for both of them because they want to do death 218 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.919 Triangle stuff and they want to do tag team stuff 219 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.240 with them and they can't because it's on and off. 220 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.639 But you know, Penta's been there for more and more 221 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.919 often than not, and it feels like he could have 222 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:53.159 done something in the meantime. You know, sometimes in AW, 223 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.399 they they have trouble pivoting when people are injured and 224 00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.000 they don't spline. 225 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.159 I have a question to ask everybody. Do you think 226 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:09.919 that the Luca Brothers potentially leaving has to do somewhat 227 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:16.159 with We've talked about this before, aw's total apathy towards 228 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:21.720 the tag team event. Well, look, who are the tag 229 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.679 team champions right now? The Young Bucks. What was the 230 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.039 last time you saw the Young Bucks defend the championship? 231 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:27.840 That they have never? 232 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.639 They haven't defended it yet, And yeah, you might be right, 233 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.799 that could be one of the reasons why they're leaving. 234 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.919 Although the tag team division in ww's not all that great, 235 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.879 they me would probably be the top tag team aid 236 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.840 in WWE immediately. 237 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.440 But again I will by saying I just want to 238 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.279 back that up by saying, you know that I have 239 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.519 the Greatness of Wrestling subreddit, which is more centered on WWE, 240 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.559 and there have been many posts just saying is it 241 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.960 me or is the w w E tag team division 242 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:07.559 total crap right now? So if you if you put 243 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:12.120 the two tag team divisions together, they've probably had more. 244 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.799 Any other kind of match matches in the last year 245 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.759 combined than tag team matches, and both of them combined, 246 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.200 there's just it's just not happening. But again, the injuries 247 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.799 have been a huge portion of this, and I'm not 248 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.840 sure you know, we can sit there and go, well, 249 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.200 they want to use them for the Trios, T team 250 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.960 with the Death Triangle or the tag team division, and 251 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:40.000 Pentom may not have wanted to be a solo guy, 252 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.039 but the problem he falls into then is he's just 253 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.720 one of how many guys do they have that are 254 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:49.559 that are capable of putting on massive shows or massive 255 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.120 matches and people are getting lost in the in the 256 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:54.919 in the shuffle unfortunately. 257 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.000 Yeah, I agree with that. I'm gonna say that I 258 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.279 think WWE fans will eat them. I think Cody put 259 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.519 in a good word for them Triple H, and I 260 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.120 think Triple H really looks to Cody's for some guidance 261 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:13.360 on people like that. But they'll do great. I don't 262 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:14.960 think they need to be a tag team. I think 263 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.879 Penta by himself is a star. I don't know that 264 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.080 Phoenix in in my opinion as much as Penta is. 265 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.879 But I think they'll do good. I hope they don't 266 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:28.519 get stuck in the Luke to Vortex that is Speed 267 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.279 Championship and stuff like that, but I think they'll do 268 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.840 just just buying over there. 269 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.200 And I'll throw one other thing out there. Look at Hologram. 270 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.919 He comes in and he is so much more over 271 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:43.840 that Ray, Phoenix and Penta are right now, and that 272 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.000 has to be you know, stabbed to the ego. The 273 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.480 new guy comes in and he's over. I mean it happens. 274 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.159 You know, the new toy is always going to be 275 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.120 the best toy until you get tired of the new 276 00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:01.200 toy and they just become an old toy. Yeah. 277 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.240 And that's what's kind of great about the fact that 278 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.039 we have these two companies because they could leave AW 279 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.680 and come back two years later, three years later and 280 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.319 they're better than ever. Everyone's super excited to see them again. 281 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:22.400 Yeah, yeah, absolutely saw Alex. Let's move on and what 282 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:23.839 do you want to talk about next? 283 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.960 Yeah, so, you know some of the drama and this 284 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.640 has been ongoing for the last week, but britt Baker 285 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:37.440 was suspended after an altercation with MJF backstage. Not a 286 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:43.359 physical fight, but I guess they were arguing and apparently 287 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:48.480 during MJF and will Osprey's hour long match, britt Baker 288 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.960 was in the female locker room talking trash about both 289 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.519 MJF and will ospray and take this with a grain 290 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.839 of salt. This is just you know, wrestling dirt sheet reporting, 291 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.240 So it could be completely false, but I think for 292 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.519 sure Britt Baker has been suspended. But anyway, so she 293 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.799 was talking badly about their match, their hour long match, 294 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:16.559 possibly because they were taking time away from other people 295 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:21.920 in AW. Mjf's girlfriend, Alicia Taut was also in the 296 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.519 woman's locker room hearing Britt Baker talk trash about MJF. 297 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:31.160 She ended up telling him afterwards, and then he confronted 298 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:37.039 brit Baker and after confronting her, ended up punching a 299 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.440 wall or something, and Britt Baker ended up getting suspended 300 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.279 because she was not Not only was she mad with MJF, 301 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.799 she was also mad at Alicia Teut I guess for 302 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.960 telling MJF. 303 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.079 It was mat at will Osbury too, according to reports. 304 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.319 But but and I'm going to say this is a 305 00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:02.000 big butt. Let me make two points here. Number one, 306 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.119 none of us were here, were there, So anything we 307 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.240 say about it as far as the opinions of MJF, 308 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:13.519 Britt Baker, will Osprey, Alicia Taut his total bullshit and 309 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.640 made up porseshit, honest to god. Second thing is is that, 310 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:20.880 according to the reports, a lot of people are saying, well, 311 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:26.039 why didn't MGF get suspended for punching a wall and 312 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.359 going into the women's locker room. The reports are that 313 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:35.000 MJF did punch the wall. No, he made a point 314 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.720 of walking down the hall where nobody was around and 315 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:42.799 he punched the wall. Back then at that time, when 316 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:46.599 he went into the women's locker room, he knocked. He 317 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:51.039 was invited in, so he didn't just barge in, you know. 318 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:54.359 So that is something that was in the reports. You know, 319 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:58.000 everything else that, like Alex said, is basically true about 320 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:03.480 what brit Baker allegedly said. Uh. And before we get 321 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:10.920 into everybody else's uh uh bit talking on Britt Baker, 322 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.480 which I'm sure it's gonna happen, totally off topic, but 323 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:20.960 uh also off topic breaking news that was just released 324 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:26.599 recently about Britt Baker. She is now part of the 325 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:31.640 cast on the final season of Cobra Tie on Netflix, 326 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:39.319 which is great news because again that gets aw exposure 327 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.759 in the mainstream, which is what is really needed. Okay, 328 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.920 so what is everybody else's opinion on the Britt Baker MGF. 329 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.759 Will Osprey is part of this too at Alice shuts 330 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.519 out thing. 331 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:54.319 So so my take on. This is the same as 332 00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.960 it's always going to be and it didn't change. 333 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.200 Okay, here's here, here's here's the reality of the situation. 334 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.559 Britt Baker, according to what I've read from everybody that 335 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.839 was the things that are going around, was complaining because 336 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.079 it's taking time away from her. Okay, she's pissed off 337 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.799 because MJF and them got a whole hour of a 338 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.480 show and she didn't get to be on TV, Which 339 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.960 comes back to what I've said about her from the beginning. 340 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.559 She has this attitude that she she believes the hype 341 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:31.559 that she is the women's division. She has no qualms 342 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:35.640 about claiming and believing the claims that she makes. My 343 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:38.440 argument for that is for a year she's been gone 344 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.799 and the division got five to ten times better than 345 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.720 when she was there. 346 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:46.599 That's fair. But I do want to point out something 347 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.759 to you that at no report that I read, she 348 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:55.799 was upset that MJF and will Osprey got an hour, 349 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.839 but she never said anything about that's taking a time 350 00:21:58.880 --> 00:21:59.519 away from me. 351 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.000 Well, she was gonna talk about it, That's what The 352 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.119 first the first report that I saw about this when 353 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.680 before we it came out last week, was that was 354 00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:13.000 what it was about. She was complaining backstage because she's 355 00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.039 unhappy that she's back and she's not getting any time, 356 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:20.079 which that's that's how she's always been. She thinks that 357 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.319 that's about her and that she's there she should be 358 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:23.960 above everybody else. 359 00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:25.440 But that's just how she's always been. 360 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:29.079 They had a what was the show they did for 361 00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:30.559 a little while after. 362 00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:32.079 Dynamite where they were. 363 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.160 Years ago? 364 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:42.240 Okay, the that is she made that show about her. 365 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.480 If you go back and watch that show, every show 366 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:47.000 was about Britt Baker. 367 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.319 And and that was one of the things. It all 368 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.640 came down to the same thing. 369 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.400 No bearing on what happened. She didn't get she did 370 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:06.279 not get. She did not get uh suspended for she 371 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:07.720 got two years ago. 372 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.319 She got suspended because she she got suspended because she 373 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.680 went up against the baby face of the of the company. 374 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.920 I'm gonna throw something out. I'm gonna throw something else 375 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.799 at you when I say you, I want to. I 376 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.559 want to make this clear that I want everybody to 377 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:30.640 hear this and everybody who have a chance to respond. Saturday, 378 00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:35.000 we had a w w E pay per view What 379 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:39.680 are ther Bigger Ones of the year Summer Slam what's 380 00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:42.480 the best way to take attention away from SummerSlam? Put 381 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:46.160 it on a w because a w knew that they 382 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.599 weren't going to get a whole hell of a lot 383 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.319 of exposure on Collision because they had it going on 384 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.759 the same day as Summer Slam at a horrible time slot, 385 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.039 you know, at five PM, you know, middle of the 386 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.279 afternoon on the web. You're not going to get any 387 00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:05.880 viewers that way. Matter of fact, when the ratings came out, 388 00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.240 they had one hundred and eighty nine thousand viewers, but frankly, 389 00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.759 I was expecting one hundred and fifty thousand. I was 390 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:14.240 kind of shocked that they got more than that. But 391 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:19.079 I will throw it out there that this was not 392 00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:23.680 a big deal and that any if AW people are 393 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:27.519 listening to this, you know, they're probably like, well, we 394 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:29.839 did our job, because they're talking about it. 395 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.240 Still. 396 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.000 I don't even think this even happened. I mean to 397 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.000 be honest with I don't think this happened. I think 398 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.160 this was something to take a little bit of attention 399 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:43.000 and put it on AW. Would they do they were 400 00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.839 going to get any attention on SummerSlam weekend because because 401 00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:52.200
