Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It's time for
Ignition with the aw fan podcast team. We are one
evening away, one sleep away from aw Dynamite Summer Blockbuster.
There's a lot going on. We're going to talk about everything,
well not everything. That would take well forever right if
we talk about everything, but we'll talk about a lot
of stuff. Let's get started. This is Kelson fan Hub.
Speaker 2: This is Tucci on TikTok. Julia Hart posted to raise
awareness for the eating disorder our FID. Julia says she
was diagnosed with URFID in November and has been in
therapy for a few months. The disorder is not driven
by concerns over body weight, shape, or fear of getting fat.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 4: This is Chris three, who is scheduled to wrestle on
Summer Blockbuster. Says she is questionable for her Owen Heart
Foundation match. If she is a able to perform the
tag team partner to whom Iroja will wrestle in her place.
Speaker 5: Bojul Greetings from Montreal.
Speaker 6: This is vow So Startum President Taro Okada has announced
that Stardom is sending four of its wrestlers to the
United States on excursion.
Speaker 5: For the months of July and August.
Speaker 7: None of the women will compete in the five Star
Grand Prix Tournament and they are from less to right,
Rana Yagami, Shuri Azuki and four.
Speaker 8: Watch on in Bojeou from beautiful Orlando, Florida. This is
the one and only, bury My triumphant return of the podcast.
We got some fun news coming up. We got a
fun little contest. We're gonna be doing AW Bingo, So
if you're interested, here's how the rules work. You can
get your bingo hard. It generates automatically for you from
the AW fan Hub Reddit. It's the only place you
can get it, so you do need to go there
if you want to participate. You don't need to post
and do any other crazy stuff if you're not into Reddit,
but you do need an account to get the bingo
card there. It will be generated for you automatically and
follow your account, and then to play, you just have
to watch AW Dynamite Collision and AP pay per views
broadcast on and after June tenth. So we're going to
start tomorrow on the tenth, and when something happens under
Bingo card, you're going to market. You just got to
click on it and it'll store that forever. Bingo is
achieved when you complete a straight line, vertically, horizontal, or diagonally.
It may sound stupid that we have to explain how
bingo works to people, but you'd be surprised how many
people have no idea how bingo works. The card is
going to be four by four. I know you're used
to five by five, but we're going to do four
by four for the first time out. And when you
get a Bingo, you just have to post bingo in
our aw fan hub subreddit live chat, or you can
also do it on the discord and just let one
of the moderators know and we can help you out
there as well. After you claim your bingo, you need
to post a screenshot of your completed Bengo card on
the live chat or DM the screenshot to Kelson on
the aw fan hub subreddit. We're going to try to
call out when bingo events happen in the live chat,
so be sure to follow and participate in either of those.
If no one reaches Bingo during Dynamite, the game continues
and carries on over to collision, and then we keep
moving until somebody gets bingo so hopefully it doesn't take
more than a week, but if it does, we'll keep rolling.
The winner is going to be contacted via Reddit via
direct message, and once you are a winner, you get
to go to the shop aw store, take a screenshot
of the T shirt you want, and please make sure
you please make sure to check that the size is
available first. We can't order a T shirt for you
if it's out of stock, and then we'll need your
shipping information and we will send the winner of Bingo
a free T shirt from shop aw. We're going to
continue to do these giveaways all the way through all
in whether that's monthly or whatever. Work out those details.
We want to continue this going forward, and we're hoping
it brings a lot of fun to the people who
have been loyal viewers and listeners and participants on the
subreddit and on our discord. Keelson back to you, buddy.
Speaker 1: Thanks Barry. You know, we've already got eighty three people
playing bingo, so it's going to be some fun. And
you know, hopefully the live chat is lively, both on
the subreddit and on the discord. And speaking of the
live chat, some interesting news is that Reddit has a
monthly moderator newsletter and aw fhanhubs live chat was featured
on the newsletter, So aw fhan Hubs getting a little
bit of recognition. Thank you, Reddit and the Redditive Men's
do you know posted this for us. The other was
one other person before we get with the show, there's
one other person that I want to think, and I
made a post on our aw fan hub x account,
so please follow us there at aw fan hub, I
made a post about Hazuki and her what I considered
kind of a surprise win, you know. I said, we
can't say that we predicted Hazuki to defeat Persephone, but
we predict a Match of the Year contender when Azuki
gets a rematch against Mercedes Monet. And it was liked
by Tony Kahan, and as far as I can remember,
that is the first time ever that Tony Kahan has
liked anything that we've ever posted, and we've made thousands
of posts. So thanks Tony, You're our hero. Speaking of
other heroes, before we get into our into the show,
our friends over at EPW Show. At EPW Show, that's
the Everything Pro Wrestling podcast, they are doing a Dynamite review.
Shortly after Dynamite goes off to the air tomorrow and
just join them. It's a fun interactive show. Speaking of which,
one of their people that are in their live chat
constantly clown. Good to see you, brother, after he says,
afternoon everyone, and he then went on to say, I'm
an old member. I'm old. I remember, I'm an old member.
He says, I'm old. I remember my grandma and mom
played Bingo and had a whole bag of dobbers, all
different colors. I think you bet colors not all different clothes.
Did you beat clothes? Clown? Are you clown on us?
And is that what those little things are? Dobbers? I
don't know. I'm old and I never played Bingo in
my life, so whatever, But anyway, let's get on with
the show tomorrow night. AW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster. I think
the biggest matches that I'm looking forward to are the
owen Hart Foundation matches. We've got Swerve Strickland versus Brody
King in the men's tournament semi final. Who is going
to be the most dangerous man in AW Guys? Is
it going to be Swerve keeping his ground or do
you think Brody's gonna come through for us?
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Swerve.
Speaker 1: Okay, is there a particular reason?
Speaker 6: Well, I want to see Swerve versus Ospray in the final,
so probably everybody's gonna say that. But it's the rematch
from Revolution, so that that match was very, very good,
So I'm expecting another banger match from D two.
Speaker 5: I love brody King.
Speaker 6: I've been a fan since he debuted was the House
of Black.
Speaker 5: I don't know what, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I love him.
Speaker 6: I love him, But sorry, Brody I'm gonna go with Swerve.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it makes sense. Anybody let me ask this,
Is there anybody who gives brody King a chance in this?
Is there anybody who's going to brody King?
Speaker 8: Way?
Speaker 1: Is christ go ahead?
Speaker 4: I I think Swerve is gonna win, But it's one
of those where it's like fifty one nine, like Brodie
King could absolutely win this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this feels like a could go either way.
Speaker 4: Swerve is more likely, but we all thought for Sephanie
was gonna win, and as Lukey came out with the win.
Speaker 3: So you know we've already been proven.
Speaker 4: Wrong, so to say once it could easily happen again.
I mean, brody King is a big Bad Mother, and
that's where I'm gonna myself off.
Speaker 1: Well, I thank you for that. You know you said
that everybody expected Persephone to win. That's not exactly true,
but it's close to true. Look on the AW fanhub subreddit,
we do prediction polls. We have a prediction polls up
right now for the I believe five matches in the
AW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster for tomorrow night. You can go
vote in those prediction polls until seven fifty nine, one
minute before the show starts. We did the prediction polls
for the Persephone and Azuki match, and I think Hazuki
only got thirteen percent of the vote since she came
away with the victory. So I'm going to put people
on the spot. We're going to future book here since
everybody kind of for everybody's silence, I guess everybody thinks
we're strictly is going to win this match. Let's look,
let's look forward Forbidden Door in the finals. First impressions,
Who do you think? When's this the finalt Yeah? Will Ospray,
I mean swear Strickland.
Speaker 8: The narrative is is Will's going to be the guy
this year. So I think they're coming back to this match.
They've got the history with Swerving Brody for the most
dangerous man, you know, that's kind of their little mini feud,
so they'll continue that. But the biggest match for the
pay per view is is Swerving Osprey, and Osprey is
going to be the guy. That's what the big narrative
is about, and that's the crown this year. And so
unless or barring injury, I don't see how Will doesn't
win at the pay per view either.
Speaker 1: Oh, barring injury from Will and from swear Strickland. Does
anybody have any different insights into this match?
Speaker 4: No, I think Osprey wins it. I think it is interesting.
Was it two years ago? Weren't they the title match
that Forbidden Door? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 8: They had a singles match. It wasn't for a belt though, Okay.
Speaker 4: For some reason I thought it was was champed.
Speaker 8: Well, maybe you're right, I think so, but I could
be wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go against the grain here. Look let's
look at Persephone and Azuki. Yeah, a vast majority of
people thought that that uh Azuki was not going to
win that match, and yet she did. A vast majority
of people assumed that will Ospray from the very beginning
of the owen Hart tournament, assumed that will Osprey was
the final boss going to you know, to to all
In as the champion. I'm picking Swerve in this match,
and I'm going to tell you why. John Moxley is
the reason why I believe that John Moxley is going
to cost will Osprey the match in the finals at
Forbidden Door between swear Strickland and and uh will Osprey
and cost will Osprey this match, and so the big
match at all In will then be John Moxley and
Will Ospray for the continental title. So that's my thought.
Speaker 8: They're not going to take the chance to crown will
as the champion for the first time in London and
possibly the only chance they're going to get for the
foreseeable future to do that.
Speaker 1: Well, let me put it this way, swear Strickland is
so swarmy that one of the things and you never
know what's gonna happen. This match for the continental title
may be earlier in the show, and swear Strickland and
mjf who were just two of the just vile people
they can be, you know, in k Fabe in wrestling,
they may say, hey, Will Osprey, you beat John Moxley
and you can and you can enter the title match
as a three way. We I would like to see,
if anything, I'd like to see Osprey come out of
all In with two titles. How would that be?
Speaker 5: You mean put two titles?
Speaker 1: You mean John puts John John Moxley against Will Osprey
for the Continental title. Osprey wins, and then Osprey joins
the World Championship title match in a three way he
wins that, and and Will Osprey is now the continental
and world title.
Speaker 4: Okay, hold on, who are you? And what it can
do Withlon because we all know Helston hates double champions.
Speaker 1: I do hate double champions And so then Kyle Fletcher
will then come out and murder Will Ospray.
Speaker 3: He's gonna do that anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just know that that's gonna happen, everybody.
Speaker 8: I was talking with a buddy of mine and we
were kind of going back and forth of predictability, and
he the gist of it is some people are frustrated like, well,
you know, we know predictability and blah blah blah. And
I just kept thinking, when you watch a movie, you
know the good guy is going to win in the
end unless it's a horrifleck and so it's not about predictability.
And Meltzer brought this up on one of his shows
on Observer Radio not too long ago last week. I
think predictability isn't necessarily bad good pro wrestling. If you
look even back to the Territory days, it is relatively predictable.
The key is the journey, and I think what Kelson
just highlighted there is a unique journey to still get
to the predictable outcome that we expect, which is Will
winning the championship. And Kelson, what you outlined is a
very unique way to get there while adding in some
some swerves for a little wink wick non cliche or
what's the pun there?
Speaker 1: Well, you know I got to say something barry to
you right now. I really appreciate you using the word
unique instead of the words ridiculously demented. I really do
appreciate that. Thank you, pal.
Speaker 8: You know, two sides of the same coin. Go ahead.
I'm gay.
Speaker 9: I just feel like no one's forcing Will will end there.
He doesn't have to win it in his home country. Yes,
it would be great, but remember that if Word wins,
MJF could get a hold of of Adam Page to say, hey,
can you help me beats where because I want to
keep my title. The lots of opportunities.
Speaker 3: Besides, besides, besides that, just.
Speaker 9: Because we want Will end the finals doesn't mean he
has to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I understand that. Look, my fantasy booking
is I'm just trying to like Berri's. I'm just trying
to be unique because this so telegraphed that if Will
Osprey wins it, it's like, okay, you know, I don't
see how people can get fired up over it if
he just wins it by just winning it, you know,
I that's all I'm saying. I want. I say winning it.
I mean at all end the World Chip Championship. Yeah,
the people in London will go crazy, but everybody he
expects it. There's gonna be nobody in the crowd and
nobody watching the pay per view at home or wherever.
At a bar that's gonna be like, oh, well, Washbury
lost that match. Huh, that's a surprise. Everybody's gonna think
that he's gonna win.
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's a bad thing.
Speaker 2: I just kin't know, watching Back the Swerve, watching back
the Swerve and Osprey match from last year's Blockbuster. I
mean they could do so much with that already and
their match at two years ago Forbidden Door. There's so
much to do there that I agree with. The predictability
is not a bad a bad thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, to Barry's point, using Barry's words,
you know, fan service is not necessarily a bad thing,
and this would be the ultimate fan service.
Speaker 8: Well, look too, like like this past week, and Nett,
I don't want to keep talking because I know there's
some other folks that want to chime in here, and
I want to be take But I look at Dynamite
this last week. I don't think anybody expected Dunk still
a win. So how do you make that match entertaining
and keep people on the edge of their seats? And
there were multiple times in that match where I was
just like, I maybe he's gonna lose, And it's like,
that's all you gotta do. You got to make that
doubt believable to kind of just reward the payoff. We
all know that it's coming a little bit better. And
you look at the Marvel movies, like everybody knew the
good guys were gonna kill Fanos, they knew they were
going to get the revenge, but we did. Yeah spoiler sorry,
But like the end of Infinity War was pretty shocking
to see Thanos win at that point, he dusted heroes
we didn't expect. And then the journey and endgame was
how do they regroup and get back at them? And
that's kind of what I saw happen on Wednesday, And
that's the kind of stuff you need to do. And
that's kind of like when you were saying Kelson with
the unique way to still get there, Like the moment
to crown will Osprey is at Wembley, it all in.
This is the last chance. This is the only chance
they're going to get to do this the first time
for him and make him the guy. So like that's
an okay moment, Just like we all knew for WWE,
Cody was going to finish his story at some point.
This is that equivalent here, But how do you get
there and keep it interesting? And having seen the way
they did Dynamite last week, I have a lot of
faith they're going to do some fun stuff. Maybe it's crazy,
like when you suggestin Kelson but I got some faith
it's going to be a fun ride here, and that's
really what I'm interested in.
Speaker 1: Anybody else want to chime in on this, on this
match and the future after this.
Speaker 2: Match, a little bit of the future. More so about
the future of the owen Hart tournament. I think there
was so much that could have been done to be
an overall unpredictable tournament by putting some main event players
in this tournament. I personally didn't like Jack Perry versus
Dunk Sila as somewhat of a filler match to eventually
put Mark Davis against Osprey. I didn't necessarily like Claudio
and Brody King just to set this matchup. It kind
of gave us two Really, since the start of the tournament,
we've been talking about Swerd versus Osprey, and I feel
like all the matches were just used as a vessel
for this with so many people to truly keep a
tournament unpredictable, especially an eight man tournament, that would be
something I want to see from a future owen Hart.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I get it because in the past on this podcast,
during the owen Hart tournaments, and the men were kind
of predictable, the women were not predictable, and we're going
to talk about the women's match, and right now we've
got sky Blue versus Sirie in the quarterfinals. I have
my own fantasy booking for this too, but I want
to hear what you guys think and who's going to
win this match?
Speaker 6: First?
Speaker 3: Well, if it is the ring, that's the big deal,
you know, like and she's still not.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: I think that probably a little.
Speaker 4: Hey fabe and she will end up in the match
and I think she'll win it. But this could be
one of those where they kind of use that and
sky Blue gets a big win. This is another one
where I think I know who's gonna win, but I'm not.
Speaker 3: Gonna be shopped if they don't.
Speaker 4: Like both of the owen Hart Tournament matches are is
probably going to go this way, But what if it doesn't.
Speaker 1: I get you anybody else with opinion.
Speaker 2: I think the women's owen Hart Tournament is exactly the opposite,
where there's someone from each quadrant that brings something to it,
and I feel like it has a lot more room
for discussion rather than just oh we're gonna see Osprey
and Swear, especially with Mercedes coming in as the wild card.
I don't think whatever the left bracket was gonna I
guess lead up to. I think the left side bracket
is a total audible and I love that side. Now
with the Azuki win and Mercedes coming back.
Speaker 1: All right, anybody else with any thoughts predictions on the
sky Blue and Surren match and what happens going further
in the future with the owen Hart on the women's side, here,
I'm gonna.
Speaker 5: Go and I'm Surrey for me.
Speaker 6: I've never seen her wrestle, so I don't have any
opinion on how she is.
Speaker 5: But I know you Kelson. You you know her and
you think she's extraordinary.
Speaker 6: So if she wrestles tomorrow and I see her, and
I will make my own opinion.
Speaker 5: But for my sake, I will go on another direction.
Speaker 6: And I'm going to give sky Bleu a chance, and
I'm gonna says she went Valerie.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a little bit of insight on Suri.
When Pro Wrestling Illustrated comes out with their you know,
Women's two fifty every year. I don't remember where SuRie
was ranked on that, but I know she was pretty high.
But whenever you rank those, when you know you post
a rank, you're gonna have fans. They're going to say,
you know who they think should be at the top five.
Had a lot of fans at Seria in the top five.
Some of them even had her number one, and it's
hard to argue with it. She is that good.
Speaker 2: I been going along with that. The Sire Athena is
the match to see. I mean that alone is pay
per view level. Nothing against Sky, you know. I just
it's uh Sis just crushing it in Japan, and I
want to see Athena. So I'm picking Seri in this.
Speaker 1: Well. Athena's got her hands full coming up on Global
War Cincinnati, which probably would be taping either to either
Tomorrow night or Thursday night because she's facing IWGP Women's
World Champion Shuri for the Ring of Honor World Championship.
So and that Global War Cincinnati will air on June
eighteenth on on her Club. Just to throw that out there.
Promo promo, Tony con.
Speaker 8: Give us a like I had, I had a chance to,
I'd seen a match to Sari and start him. I
think Helson you maybe suggested it. And I had a
chance to see Serie Russell Alex Windser live at the
Lakeland Collision taping a wild act and if I posted
a link in the discord, but it's that matches up
on YouTube. So if you want to be introduced to
what Suri brings to the table, just google Sire versus
Alex Winsor or put it in YouTube and that match
will come up and you'll get an idea what she
brings to the table. And I think you're really going
to be happy assuming she's able to wrestle. They're playing
up that that neck thing, so I actually could see
assuming it's k Fame Sky winning because Surree's quote unquote
neck is hurt, and then them running back a rematch
after Sky loses later in the tournament at Forbidden Doors,
one of the Forbidden Nor matches kind of a revenge match.
I would be shocked if Sky goes over, But a
good introduction to Surrey if you want to see what
she does with some American tanelents her and that Alex
Windsor match. It was a ring a Monor match, And
like I said, it's up on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for my fantasy booking on this one?
Because I have something to say, Yes, go what When
I first saw this match show up in the brackets,
and this had I don't know why, but I I
have never thought that Siree was going to beat sky Blue.
Some of it was based on sirie is not wrestled
in a month, she has a neck injury. The Takumi
thing kind of is playing up that angle with the
neck injury. Of course that that just came out really yesterday,
so that had no bearing on what I thought. But
I've always thought that sky Blue is going to win.
Now I'm even more convinced. Aw On TV's account on
Twitter or X revealed that Trigon Lamandness will be appearing
at aw Dynamite tomorrow night. Of course, Redee Piquette, I'm
sure you've seen her close up videos where she interviews wrestlers.
A couple hours ago, they released an interview with sky Blue.
Why would you do an interview with somebody that's destined
to lou a big match, you do an interview with
somebody who's destined to win. At least that's my opinion.
What I think is gonna happen is that the Triangle
of Madness will Ceree is probably gonna do something, maybe
an angle where she's say, maybe I shouldn't wrestle my
neck hurts kind of thing. But the Triangle Madness take
out Takumi and it kind of forces Serena to go
out there and she can't beat sky Blue, even though
she is a superior wrestler. I think sky Blue would
even admit that because Saria is a fantastic rush She's
a technician, she's everything that you want to wrestler to be,
especially a woman's wrestler to be. But I think sky
Blue wins, and I think sky Blue beats Athena and
goes to the finals. I think this is sky I
don't think she is going to win the finals, but
I think that the sky Blue story, being that sky
Blue is in the Triangle of Madness, she's going to
go on a collision course with stardom wrestlers, and I
think the finals, I think on the other side, I
think Azuki is going to beat Mercedes Monet and it's
going to be Azuki and sky Blue in the finals.
And it's probably not the biggest marquee match in the world,
but the story makes it better. And don't forget it
is forbidden door. You probably have to have either Siri
or Azuki in the finals. It's one or the other.
And I think the more logical choice right now would
be Azuki because she's healthier. So that's that, don't forget earlier,
earlier on we talked about these other women coming in
to the United States now, like Rona has already been
booked for Produce Wrestling, but I think that's on July seventeenth,
I'm not sure. But anyway, my point is is that
I think that a W is really going to be
building up this Tecla and by default the Triangle Madness
against Stardom Angle, and so I think you're going to
see a lot of sky Blue Julia Hart and of
course Tecla it matches against Stardom wrestlers over the next
several weeks. And that's my fantasy booking for this particular
particular match and the Owenhard anybody else have any thoughts
on the sky Blues rematch before we move on, Well,
we're gonna move on then to the next match, which
is the Continental Championship match from John Moxley with John
Moxley versus Shane Taylor. I've already done some fantasy booking
that's kind of out there. I'm about to drop a
bomb on you right now, are you ready. Shane Taylor
has absolutely no chance of beating John Moxley in this match. Oh,
come on, zero, there's nothing. John Moxley will get the
crap beat out of him for a brief out of time,
but he will probably submit.
Speaker 5: Shane Taylor, I kind of agree, you kind of agree,
or would I? I I agree with you. Shane has
no Oh I was about to curse. No chance, no
chance at all.
Speaker 1: He's a He's a good guy, he's a good wrestler,
but he's a rig of hoter talent. You just don't
have a rig of water talent just come in and.
Speaker 5: Suddenly beat Yeah, and the group that doesn't do it
for me?
Speaker 8: You know, I actually really enjoyed the little mini feud
they've done with the Death Writers. I think it's a
fun way to kind of bring up a lower card group,
and Shane's big enough that you buy him being physically intimidating,
being able to go toe to toe, even though you
know we know John's gonna win. That's his character. But
I've enjoyed this little mini feud. I like when they
kind of do little stuff like this. The group has
been fun and Shane Tayler promotions in the what's the
not the armory? What are they called the infantry? The armory? Jeez,
that's the armory is where like independent promotions run. That's
the other guest, the infantry. I've enjoyed it. It's been
a fun little way to to to elevant to bring
up some some mid card guys for some fun stuff.
Speaker 4: I am a big fan of sane favorite promotions. That's said,
Shane Taylor is probably my fifth favorite person with in
his own group. Uh, I think this would be a
good entertaining massion. Like very said, Shane is big enough
you believe that he can, you know, go toe to
toe and maybe even beat Moxley. But yeah, in the end,
Moxley is gonna scratch, do whatever he has to do
to get the win.
Speaker 1: Not I think you were trying to chime.
Speaker 10: In, Oh, I was just thinking about it. I think
that it actually is going to be a good match.
I think Shane Taylor is going to get some He's
gonna get over on Moxley just a little bit. That
kind of makes us question if he can really do
it or not. And honestly, last week I thought that uh,
what's his name, Lee Moriarty was going to beat Moxley.
For some reason, I just thought that he was going
to He's not a bad wrestler at all, and I
just I just had that feeling, and I like to
see all of them fighting outside of the ring. So
I think that Shane Taylor and Moxley are going to
put on a very very good match that it makes
you wonder who exactly can beat Moxley because I, for
some reason, I think that it can come pretty close
between the two of them. I don't know why, but
I just have that feeling. So I'm I'm kind of
excited to see this one. Usually, and I know I'm
in the minority, but usually I don't like seeing John
Moxley on screen, but this one I'm kind of excited
to see. So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: I mean, you go ahead, Shane Taylor on my bingo card.
Shane Taylor winning is not on my bingo card.
Speaker 10: Suppose he does win and surprises us all the stranger
things have happened.
Speaker 1: But where do you go from there? I mean, who
wasn't that said that. I think it was Chris and
said he's the fifth best performer or whatever in his
own group. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I want not where I think he is like
as a wrestler, anythinks just I'm a big fan of
Lee Moriarty, I really like the infantry.
Speaker 3: I think Pershadora is incredibly underrated. That's why he's a
damn good wrestler. And this will be a great mess.
Speaker 4: I just I didn't want to say like I was
trying to rank him by wrestling ability or anything like that,
just personal personal opinion.
Speaker 1: Well, I will say this, and I was mean in
the live chat on the subreddit last week. I said it,
I quote, Shane Taylor is a charisma vacuum, and really,
you know, absolutely I have. I just do not enjoy
Shane Taylor because I literally like everybody else in this
group better than him, and and I just I don't know.
It's not to be mean here, but it's just that
I enjoy everybody else in his group better than him.
I would much rather see Tricia Door against John Moxley
than I would Shane Taylor against John Moxley.
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess if you favor others, I get that.
I don't know if I would say I can't let
me rephrase that. I cannot say that Shane Taylor is
what it was the term you use a charisma vacuum or.
Speaker 1: What was charisma?
Speaker 8: I think Shane Taylor is incredibly charismatic. One of the
reasons I enjoy him as a performer is because you
can plug him in with anybody and he's He's just
an intense fella. He cuts a pretty good promo. He's big,
he can move unusually fast and well for his size,
and he makes his power moves look great, and he
makes whoever he's in there would look great. So I
enjoy the guy, but I can totally see how folks
would prefer others in the stable, and that's fine. But
I don't know if I would say he's a charisma vacuum.
I think he's I think he's quite personable, even if
he may not be some folks favorite.
Speaker 1: And I don't not saying that that I don't like him.
I'm just saying that I just want to And when
I say charisma of vacuum, it's like he I believe
he does take away from the other members of the
group because he's just not as charismatic, and in my opinion,
I don't enjoy him as much as the other members
of the group. All Right, Well, let's move on. Before
we move on, I want to issue an official apology,
and that apology is going to go to the bastard
Pa pac Man, because most of the people in this
in this podcast are going to call Pack Pak for whatever.
Pac Man. He's pac Man, He's not pac Man. There's
no such thing as pac. It is Pack. I apologize
to Pack. Do we need to apologize to Mark Briscoe
for getting his face caved in and Bypack? That's the question.
Anybody thoughts?
Speaker 4: Uh, this is an interesting Max because you know, Pop
and the Death Writers had their whole thing with the
conglomer but that's been long gone, and like, I don't
really know where this match is coming from, but it
should be a lot of fun. Both of these guys
are really good in the ring. They I think their styles.
Speaker 3: Will interact well and it.
Speaker 4: Feels like a random match, but one of those that's like, Okay,
I'm really going to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: This seems like the first match in a long time
feud to me, would you kind of agree with that? Chris?
Speaker 4: I could definitely see that happening. Yeah, I could definitely
lead to more. It's yeah, one of those things. This
could be a one off. It could be a long
term feud. You bring that up, it desperately adds an
extra interesting level to the match.
Speaker 1: I do agree with you, Chris that their styles, even
though they're light and dark, I guess is the best
way of putting it. But they compliment each other. I'm
really looking forward to this match. What about everybody else?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it should be a fun match, so I'm looking
forward to it, but I'm gonna go with Pack.
Speaker 8: I disagree.
Speaker 9: I really think this is the set up Brisco beating
Park so that he can say, look, I'm beating these people.
W's time for m JF to give me a match.
Speaker 10: Oh that's a good idea. I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1: That is a really good point. And who else was
somebody else was going to talk? I believe? Was it Toucci?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think Pack's really good against very
eccentric and kind of out there opponents. I match with
Leo Rush and Darby Allen also, But uh, that's just
me saying I think this will be really fun. I
give it to Mark Brisco just because of his build
up to whether it's a little filler feud or a
longer feud with m JF, but I think it's him almost.
You might even call it a tune up match, you.
Speaker 1: Know, Tucci. Speaking of Leo Rush, He's actually going to
be wrestling Shatzi, Blackhart and g c W soon. That
match has been booked. That's a match I could feed kittens,
really cute kittens up. I'm actually looking forward to that.
Speaker 3: Black Heart versus black Heart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, black Art versus Black Art. I mean, Shatzi is
absolutely incredible. I don't do kabe. I say what's on
my mind and I mean it.
Speaker 6: Well, sorry, sorry, guys. Do you want to know a
funny story about Shatzi.
Speaker 5: I met her last year, go for it. I went to.
Speaker 6: Maple Leaf Pro in Lavalle last year and before the
show they had a meet and greet with all of
the wrestlers, well some of them, and she was there
and I completely forgot to bring cash and was Canadian dollars,
so I completely forgot. So I went to see her
and she had her cast on because she broke her
arm tinged thanks to Mark, to Matt Cardona and I
just I just told.
Speaker 5: Her, I mean, you are fantastic.
Speaker 6: I love you, and keep doing what you are doing
and I said.
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry, I don't have any money on.
Speaker 6: To take a picture, and she said, screw it, we're
taking a picture. And I took a picture with her,
and she made my whole day.
Speaker 5: And it was a lot of fun, a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: What color was her hair, she was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she had green hair.
Speaker 1: She may be the only woman alive that I can
honestly say it looks good and green hair.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And I mean she's gorgeous with all of her tattoos
and you know. And I asked her about the arm
and I said, I really, I saw the video online.
Did he really broke her arm? And she told me yes,
he did that s sob.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but she got it back. She used that
cast to give him a lot of nutshots over several matches.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I still had a picture.
Speaker 5: I still have the picture with on my phone. And
it was amazing. And she she she was amazing to
just to give me.
Speaker 6: That that feeling of it's okay, let's take a picture
and you go, girl, let's have some fun.
Speaker 5: And and she she she she was.
Speaker 6: Great in the match that she had at the show
in Leval that was on pay per view, So it
was great.
Speaker 8: I sat behind her on a flight back from London
to Orlando. I think it was not too long after
she'd been released. She had done headed in one of
her first matches. What's the promotion ref? Maybe REF Pro
or black Leybell Pro. I'm not sure which of the
promotions in the UK she had wrestled for. But I
see a lot of dudes, you know, like a lot
of male wrestlers here in Orlando. They kind of fall
out of trees. But I don't see a lot of
the female wrestlers. And it always strikes me when I
do how tiny they are. She seems much. She has
a much she has a much bigger presence on screen,
and I was surprised. It's not tiny she was, but
she was incredibly notice I didn't talk to her on
the flight excepten we were getting up for get the
bags and stuff. But she was very, very pleasant, and uh,
she's just she's a.
Speaker 1: Small Let's let's face it. Some women are smaller, some
men are smaller. Darby Allen's world champion. He's a small
but I think it's maybe the second or third smallest
guy in aw Right. Well, well, look tackler is what
is she books tea?
Speaker 8: But you see on TV like you see actors, Yeah,
you see him. You don't have have that reference. But
in real life, like the rest, the male wrestlers are
huge on TV in their huge in real life, but
you don't really have the reference for the women. And
that always strikes me just how.
Speaker 1: Like movies they can book people to be that size,
you know what I mean, you know, like Tom Cruise
is a good example. He's playing Black Joe, Mission Impossible,
Jack Reacher, all that stuff, and he's tiny. He's not
a big guy.
Speaker 8: Male wrestlers tend to be enormous, though.
Speaker 1: I wonder how I cannot remember what we got on
Shatzy Black Art from packing Mark Brisked. Yes, we always
we stay on target and on topic. Right here on
a w fat hubs ignition.
Speaker 10: Yesterday before I forget to tell you all, somebody mentioned
Darby Allen yesterday. I was in Seattle. I swear I
saw him, but there are people in Seattle that dress
like him, so it could have been anybody. I thought
it was him. I was in a in an uber,
so I didn't have a chance to, like ask if
that was Darby ol actually Darby Allen or not, But
it could have been I've never seen him in person before,
so I'm really not sure.
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing that you said that, because I
was in the city last yesterday afternoon and I was
I saw a bus at the door open, and I
swear to you I saw John Cen Invisible Stand get out.
Speaker 10: Oh my god, how did you know it was them?
Speaker 1: Intuition?
Speaker 3: Intuition or you couldn't see either of them? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Christ Chris got the joke. I'm so proud.
Speaker 3: I'm so smart. And Marti okay, So.
Speaker 1: Does anybody else have anything to say about Pack and
Mark Briscoe now that we got to Invisible Stand John
c you know, Jauzi black Art at Leo Rush.
Speaker 10: Uh, it's gonna be good.
Speaker 1: I think somebody's gonna bleed in this match.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean Mark maybe Match of the night
over Swerve brodyt.
Speaker 1: Give a spoiler alert here. In our bingo game, one
of the two one of the events is orange Casside
lands an orange punch and androdi Aledol has a babe
in the crowd flirt with him. I kind of think
somebody is gonna be able to cross that off their
bingo car tomorrow night, because Andre Alita Low is going
to face Orange Cassie. This is another match that I'm
I'm actually looking forward to.
Speaker 8: Did you just call him Andre?
Speaker 1: Andre?
Speaker 10: He did?
Speaker 3: He?
Speaker 8: He? That is like heavier out of shape.
Speaker 1: Brother. Hey, hey, hey, I'm gonna say something to you
right now. You're lucky that I'm. I just got run
over by a lawnmower. So you know, you know you're
fucky run over Overah, there you go, Yes, you said it.
Speaker 8: I said, take care of that real quick.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Uh. Yeah, so I am. I
have been pretty loopy for the last several days, because
that is the truth. I did get run over by
a lawnmore and dragged around in circles by a lawnmower.
So yeah, so I am not at one hundred percent
right now. Well, let me put it this way. Usually
I met eighty percent. You know my mind, I'm at
about fifty percent right now. So anyway, Andrade satisfied, and
I alo against Orange Cassidy again. I'm looking forward to
this match. This is one of those matches, however, where
I don't really care who wins the match. I care
that it's a good match, and I mean that respectfully.
And you know, nothing negative about that. I'm just really
looking forward to a, you know, a really great match.
If they go for forty minutes, I'm like, I'm all
for it if they have a great match, because these
two guys could go. I'm a big fan of Andre
DII Ledlo. He may be my favorite AW wrestler right now.
I really really enjoy watching his matches, and Orange Cassidy
gets the crap beat out of him in any match
that he's in. He could be going against Sir Pentago
and get the snot knocked out of him for a while.
So ANDROTI is gonna get his licks in and it's
it'd be great. Yeah, but you know.
Speaker 8: How you know, yeah, how you know?
Speaker 3: I know, I'm kind of the same boat with you.
Speaker 4: I I'm probably gonna root for Orange Caciity, but I'm
good with whoever when This is another one where I
think their styles will compliment.
Speaker 3: Each other really well and really make.
Speaker 4: For an interesting story with you know, Orange Cascity being
kind of lazy.
Speaker 3: But then you have you know, Andrade.
Speaker 4: Then so they both kind of got they've got that
laid back attitude but in very different ways. All I'm
really hoping for is Andrade goes out, does the selfie,
and Orange just kind of pops up, slides in and
gives the weak thumbs up, like kind of photo bonds it.
I just want that to be a spot that happens.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't have that in the bingo so what.
Speaker 8: If it's easy or the wig on?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, he's standing there with his bag.
Speaker 8: He turns around, is good?
Speaker 1: What made you think of in a wig.
Speaker 8: Because he's in the conglomeration man?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, but and it's funny. It would be funny. I
did it. I've told you. I've mentioned this before, Like
that's the gag. Sometimes people show up in wigs. Give
him a kiss, give him big kiss, mooches.
Speaker 1: I would I would actually love to.
Speaker 8: Yes, that's right, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, it's getting late. What about everybody else? Anybody
else have anything that they want to see happen in
this match? Anybody you want to see kissed or in
a wig?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 5: I want to kiss.
Speaker 6: I want to see ocdu the super the Superman punch
because I have my Bingo card and he's on it.
Speaker 1: There you go. I think he's actually on my Bingo
card too.
Speaker 8: It's now Fantasy football for wrestling. With the Bingo card stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I did to Bingo, I tried to put
stuff that are kind of common, you know, like orange
punch and stuff like that. But there's some kind of
wacky stuff in there too, you know. So maybe you'll
say in a wig is not on there, but I
guarantee you come all in. It will be.
Speaker 8: If if if he shows up in a wig. I
need I need you to give me a special graphic
on the show last next week with an award.
Speaker 1: Oh, I will definitely do that. So basically, what I
need for you to do is go to the store,
uh preferably a high end store, buy a wig, and
I will put a picture of you wearing set wig
on a graphic for next week.
Speaker 8: My wife great. My wife has great hair, so I'll
just superimpose my face over a picture of her.
Speaker 1: Because her hair is I have seen wife, Yes she does.
Speaker 8: She has amazing hair.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. When I saw a picture of your wife,
was like, that woman has amazing hair.
Speaker 8: And the.
Speaker 1: Berry is very tall. And buy shirts that are three
times too big.
Speaker 8: For three times too big, oh god? Yeah. Pro tip
the hat w T shirts on Amazon the storefront. They
run large and I'm a pretty big dude, and they
run at least two sizes too big.
Speaker 3: They have fat eye sizes.
Speaker 8: They have enormous sizes.
Speaker 4: I always struggle. I always have I'm always like, do
you have fat guy sizes?
Speaker 8: I put on? I felt like I was wearing a tarp.
Speaker 1: So you're saying I should go to Amazon and buy
my condoms.
Speaker 8: You wear a W T shirts is robber? No, I
wear a W BREAD There's holes in there. I don't
think that's going to protect you from chafing.
Speaker 1: And yeah, well well fortunately they also come with.
Speaker 8: Can that word?
Speaker 1: Choice of words? Can we? Oh God? As soon as
I said that, I was like, should I say that?
What I was what I'm thinking about saying? And then
I said yeah. And then I want Yohn versus Orige Cassidy.
Speaker 8: When and and and everybody gets horny? I mean that's
just what It's just he gets everybody.
Speaker 1: And is that like that O T if you show
what was it Felicity?
Speaker 8: Is that Felicity's favorite TV shows Felicity and Androsity.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 10: I know something I came up with the other day
when I was just randomly daydreaming. You know how Don
Callous's teeth keep trying to get away from him. I think, well,
I think that is the actual reason that he hates
Mark Briscoe, because Mark Briscoe is not afraid to be
who he really is and embrace it, and I think
Callous hates that about him. And I wish they would
kind of make that into like a little joke, you know,
kind of because you don't want to offend anyone or
hurt anyone's feelings, but it could be kind of a
little side joke about the real reason that Callous doesn't
like Mark Briscoe.
Speaker 1: Think that Callous is going to be on commentary tomorrow night,
which by the way, is also on the Bingo list.
So this, this match alone could really fill up a
Bingo card.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: But I think Callous is going to try to get uh.
I think and Andre Andrade, I was saying his name right.
I caught him. I caught myself saying his name right.
You guys are killing me. I think Androdi is going
to gain a measure of respect for Orange tomorrow night,
and he's gonna have fun with the match, and that's
going to be part of the story, is that Androde
is having fun fighting Orange Cassidy and when Don Callas
comes out hands on you know, androde a screwdriver or
his teeth or whatever as a weapon. Uh, ANDRETTI is
gonna refuse because that Andre is another one that that
really isn't all about them. Sorry, I think door Dash
just knocked on my door. Yeah, buddy, Yeah, somebody talk.
Speaker 8: Let's talk about who has the best hair in a W?
Is it Andre Da or it's Clark Connor's.
Speaker 9: Right, Yes, Connors looked like a shampoo commercial. Yeah, person, Yeah, and.
Speaker 5: He has the most beautiful hair I've ever.
Speaker 8: Seen Kenny's hairs falling out. Clark Connors is full and
luscious and well conditioned.
Speaker 10: Remember they call it Clark Connors the t MoU hangman.
Speaker 8: That was so good, such a line.
Speaker 10: I have to say, Hook Hook has beautiful hair better.
Speaker 8: Than Clark Connors, I think, so.
Speaker 1: I said he's he has the best hair. Oh god, I.
Speaker 3: Could not agree more. How about Jungle.
Speaker 8: Carry And this is across all of a W including
the women.
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh well then she does. She does have
great hair.
Speaker 10: I'd have to say Willow.
Speaker 8: Willow's got a good luscious thing here too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Harley Cameron has nice hair. On the men's side,
it's got.
Speaker 8: To be extensions though, so many extensions. Who is the
man for the extensions?
Speaker 5: Red Mercedes?
Speaker 8: Right, that's right?
Speaker 1: And they lived out.
Speaker 10: You said Mercedes, Valerie.
Speaker 6: Yes, I I said, I'm a fan of Mercedes wigs.
Speaker 5: I I want one, yeah, so much.
Speaker 8: I want to have to be expensive.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know last week she was stunning.
Speaker 8: Yeah, anybody see the sign that said I like Mercedes
because she knows Grogu the guy on the entrance ramp.
Speaker 1: I will say, I will say Valerie that. In the
in the light chat on the Reddit, I was like,
Mercedes Gear. I actually said this, which is weird coming
from a guy. I was like, Mercedes is Gear is gorgeous?
Speaker 8: Yeah, dark, her whole vibe, her whole vibe. The dark
Mercedes vibe was awesome. You're right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And she changed and and I didn't realize it until
I saw a video.
Speaker 5: The day after.
Speaker 6: She changed her music. It's a little bit darker, but
it's still.
Speaker 5: Her singing her thing song rapping.
Speaker 6: But I love it.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 1: I think they took out a lot of the introduction before,
you know, because it was quite a lead up before
it got to the CEO chant. So yeah, it gets
right to business. You know, that's the way it goes.
Speaker 8: Right after the show, the guy who did the mix
posted on YouTube how he put it together track by
track and mix it. I think he used pro tools.
I could be wrong. It's really worth checking out. I
posted the video, but if you search for it on
YouTube you can find it as well. It's really cool.
He splices up her initial theme and pitches it down
and does a lot of really really cool stuff. It's
worth checking out.
Speaker 1: You don't know if it was Mikey Ruckus, do you?
Was it Bikey?
Speaker 8: No, it was not Mikey Ruckas. It was one of
the artist the other artists that they work with. Mikey
does most of the music, but it wasn't Mikey.
Speaker 1: All right, Well guess what, guys, that's the end of
the show. We've covered so many topics like Shazi, blackcar
Leo Rush and on andre Idelo.
Speaker 8: And hair, best hair and.
Speaker 1: Best hair, just so much stuff that you probably you
our listeners did not expect. Join aw fan observe brought it.
If you already haven't done so, be sure to like
this video, subscribe, and you know, let's just do this
bingo thing and have some fun and hey, maybe you'll
win an aw T shirt of your choice from Shop
aw tomorrow night. We'll be back next week on Tuesday
at eight forty five pm Eastern time. I have a
funny feeling we're gonna know a lot more about Forbidden
Door come the podcast next week than we do right now.
Speaker 8: So I feel like this's a big week to set
up a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 1: Is and I'm I'm also looking really forward to seeing
if they are taping Ring of Honors Global War Cincinnati
during Dynamite and Collision and UH, and see what kind
of matches her up on there, because I actually read
that New Japan Pro Wrestling really is not participating as
much in some of these things. I think that Forbidden
Door is going to be pretty women heavy, that's my prediction.
I think we're going to see a lot of stardom
and a lot of CMLL women in uh Forbidden Door.
And I think we're gonna see quite a bit of
CMLL men in Forbidden Door.
Speaker 8: And I think I need more Lucases.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 4: I was going to say one thing to note with
New Japan. They just wrapped up Best of the Super
Fun Years this Sunday this past Sunday and this Sunday
coming up, they have Dominion, which okay, test to and
then Andre da Alitolo or both fallen. So I think
we might see a little more involvement from them after Dominion.
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's fair enough.
Speaker 4: Their titles, uh Test is defending the TV title against Sonata,
and Andrade is defending the IWTP Global title against Chota
Umino and Drill and Maloney.
Speaker 1: Cool Tucci, I think you had something you wanted to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious how the Bougie Road sale of New
Japan will affect the partnership. I know they've said it won't,
but you know, who knows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. I mean there's a lot of things
that Bouchie Road did not sell stardom as of yet,
so Starnham is still its own own anty under Bushie Road.
That's gonna be interesting and I think that that could
be something that we get clarification on very soon. But anyway,
that's the show for this week. We will see you again.
As I said earlier Tuesday night at eight forty five, guys,
be sure to go in and get your Bingo card.
Join our live chat both on the subreddit and on discord.
Let's have some fun. It's just a fun way to
make watching aw a little bit more interesting. No bathroom
breaks allowed, because you never know what's going to happen.
So for the aw FANA podcast team, this is Kelson.
Good night everybody. Good night, Kenny please, good night, good night.
