Gig your tickets at aw tis dot com. 8 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.799 We're gonna talk about all kinds of aw news tonight, 9 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.119 but we're gonna start with double or Nothing because guys 10 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.719 help me out here. As far as I know, there's 11 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.280 only two matches set officially for double or Nothing, right. 12 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:57.079 Yeah, the Owen Cup Finals, right yeah. 13 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:01.000 Just on Hard Cup Finals, the only ones. So what 14 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.159 what are we doing here? What are we going to get? 15 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.920 It's base six anarchy. We're going to get anarchy, Kelson 16 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.200 anarchy and the arena or just anarchy in general. 17 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.359 Well the pun was in general, but I mean, I 18 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.159 think you're picking up what I'm putting down. It seems 19 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.200 like they're leading to an anarchy and arena five on 20 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:19.760 five match. 21 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.159 I'm saying, just put all the names on a wheel, 22 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.840 spin it, pick the opponents that send them out, and 23 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:26.280 let them go. 24 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:32.560 Let's well, Barry, well, let's explore that. You said a 25 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.840 five o five. What are the sides? 26 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.879 I think we're going to see some string alliances if 27 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.560 we go back to when was the first time the 28 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.760 Ops really made the running on the death Riders and 29 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.040 I think the elite was that two weeks ago in Dynamite. 30 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:48.840 It was pretty recent. Yeah. 31 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:54.200 Yeah, So I'm thinking the Ops Swerve and then one 32 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.280 more person against three of the death Riders and maybe 33 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.159 the Bucks if I remember how that was all set up. 34 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.159 So that's what you think, Like Swerve and the Ops 35 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.239 are going to be on one side of the anarchy. 36 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.120 The arena, Yeah, oh that'd be I mean, look at 37 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.719 a crater anarchy INDI arena is always fun to see 38 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:18.360 live because it's total anarchy, although I have to say 39 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.080 it's probably better to watch on TV because there's so 40 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.520 much going on all over the place it's hard to 41 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.000 keep keep up. Has Have any of you ever seen 42 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.360 an anarchy match or something similar. 43 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:38.360 Like that Live Love Revolution, That Revolution twenty twenty two, 44 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.319 whenever the Punk MGF Dog Collar Match was and Wardlow 45 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.120 won the ring, Sting and Darby had a tag match 46 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.199 against somebody and it was all over the arena and 47 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.319 on that one that was the one where Sting went 48 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.240 through the two stacks of tables from the corridor. That 49 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.879 was pretty cool. But to your point, Kelson, being there live, 50 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.919 I couldn't see half the stuff when they were in 51 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:02.759 the crowd. 52 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:04.599 Right they but they probably shout it out the big 53 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:05.759 screen as it was going. 54 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:10.159 On, right, not always production issues. No. The other time 55 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.439 there was the Bowen I think it was the Continental Classic. 56 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.280 The first one where it was the triple threat was 57 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:21.400 Swerve mox and j White. I think that that was 58 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.120 the December Pool World's End two years ago. I was 59 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.919 at that Dynamite. They brawled right in front of me 60 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.759 and they were all over the arena once they got 61 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.520 out of the ring, and that was awesome. But him 62 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.560 and Swerved went and that was to your point cause 63 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.560 and it was great having him right in front of you, 64 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.080 but once they got in the crowd and you couldn't 65 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.919 see him, it wasn't as fun. 66 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.400 Yeah. I mean, look, we've got job Moxley's the aw 67 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:50.879 world champion and he's fighting Samoa Joe on Dynamite, right, 68 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.280 so we don't really have the world champion booked for 69 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.000 a match it at double or nothing yet. 70 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.840 That's why I think they're doing the Ann Key because 71 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.319 they're doing the title match two weeks right before the 72 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:05.960 pay per view, and they're not going to do two 73 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.039 matches in a row. So my guess is that will 74 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.639 lead into either they'll screw Joe out or Joel. They'll 75 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.840 screw Joe out of it and they'll challenge the anarchen 76 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.800 Arene or something. I think that's how they'll build that, 77 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.360 or at least that's what it seems like to me, 78 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:18.879 something that. 79 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.399 I think it'll be. 80 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.040 I think it'll be, uh, there'll be a disqualification on 81 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.639 They're not there's not gonna I don't think Joe's gonna 82 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.720 get screwed. I just think it's gonna be a double disqualification. 83 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.600 I think everybody's going to get involved in a brawl. 84 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.959 And yeah, it would be no contests like the Yeah, 85 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.240 pretty much a no contest. 86 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.240 They'll both be disqualified because the Ops and the Death 87 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:43.720 Riders are all going to get involved. 88 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:44.439 And I kind of. 89 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.000 Agree with you that I think it's gonna be Swerve 90 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.839 and luckily, if if Hook's back, they'll have enough guys 91 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.759 with the Ops. 92 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:56.000 And Swerve all right, yeah Hook, because yeah, so yeah, 93 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.439 but that we've got on the other side, Tony Storm. Titless. 94 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.199 Tony Storm has no match yet, and I really don't 95 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.959 know who they would put her against at double or nothing. 96 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:07.720 Have you got any ideas here? 97 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:10.399 I don't know. 98 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.680 She had a chromo on Collision where she was basically 99 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.240 challenging the world. Is there anybody that could bring over 100 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.079 from Japan maybe or like a hot shot. 101 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.639 Well, you've got Mina Shirakawa, you know, debut Ring. 102 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.120 Of Honor, though I don't know if they'll bring her 103 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:27.519 back up. 104 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.759 Well that was that was a tape that wasn't a 105 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.879 live debut, that was taped a while ago. Okay, Mina 106 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:42.839 Shirakawa is actually wrestling this week end for if I'm 107 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.959 not mistaken, it's her an asm against Mercedes Monett for 108 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.079 the n j p W Strong Women's champion Ship. Yeah. 109 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.680 I'm kind of behind on the news because I was 110 00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:01.000 a little busy this weekend. So yeah, so Storm, I mean, 111 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:06.120 look a burning Scourge in the chat just said Queen 112 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.600 Amnautica challenge and that would be a really good challenge. 113 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.759 Another person that I've always said that they should have 114 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.399 go against Tony Storm is thunder Rosa. But I don't 115 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.680 like to build to this. I don't think that it's 116 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.000 the right time to do thunder Rosa against Tony Storm. 117 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.759 Because enough for anything, honest. 118 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.639 Yeah, I mean exactly. Yeah. I mean this has been 119 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.759 a complaint that I know, Sutton, You've had this complaint 120 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.480 about AW for a while. They just they don't build 121 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.879 towards the pay per views anywhere near enough time. I mean, 122 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.560 we've got two number one contenders matches in the owen 123 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:43.879 Hart Cup and that's it. 124 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.000 Some far and you got you got a little over 125 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.759 nineteen nineteen days. 126 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.879 Yeah, it's weird. It's every other pay per view, I 127 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.680 would say, every build, but like every other paper good 128 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.319 that builds great and double or nothing's one of their 129 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.399 big four. So this is the one I would have 130 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.839 expected for them to load up as opposed to the Dynasty. 131 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.879 They just said, but the build of Dynasty was better, 132 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:08.639 go ahead, go ahead. 133 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.959 I think that they are switching from making double and 134 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.519 nothing the big one to making all in the Big one, 135 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.519 you know what I mean, because like you said, there's 136 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.399 no there's absolutely no build to this none, and you 137 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:23.879 can't build the matches. 138 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:24.879 There's no building. 139 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.759 The finals were always slated for there, but not enough, 140 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:30.439 I think. 141 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.399 But you've got two matches out of you know, there's 142 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.079 going to be ten or eight, so that leaves you 143 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.360 six matches. They have no build for so so, and 144 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.560 I'll guarantee you they've they've been building more for all 145 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.959 In and talking about all In since December, so you 146 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.279 know they're like, Okay, we're gonna do this. 147 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.199 We're gonna all In is gonna be in Texas. It's 148 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:52.600 going to be you. 149 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.160 Well, the way I'm looking at it is this guys, 150 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:02.160 is that Tomorrow night on Dynamite. I guarantee you we're 151 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.600 gonna get at least four matches set up. They're gonna 152 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.360 have challenge. You know, the ship is gonna hit the fan. Basically, 153 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.480 you're gonna have I want you to look, we've got 154 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:14.000 guys like Kyle Fletcher that don't have a match, Kenny Omega, 155 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:18.480 Keno Takeshta doesn't have a match. You know what I'm saying. 156 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.639 You've got all these guys that are. 157 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:27.040 I'm sorry, yeah, no, hang In Hangman's Finals. 158 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:32.399 Yeah I'm a little behind, so I am. 159 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.679 Hangman Osprey and Mercedes Monett and Jamie Hayter. Those are 160 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:50.240 the two matches, and of course the week of uh 161 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.440 double or nothing we will do our uh prediction show 162 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.519 and pick the winners for that for those matches, but 163 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.320 right now hard to do. But you again, you got 164 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.879 Kyle Flettrick, you got Canoskate Takeshta, You've got Kenny Kenny Omega. 165 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.360 On the men's side, you know those are three big ones. 166 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:11.080 Of course, you got. 167 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.360 Kenny's gonna be in the he was the fifth. I 168 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.039 couldn't think of He'll be an anarchy in the arena 169 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.159 when they did that whole thing two weeks ago, Kenny 170 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.399 was the fifth guy. It was Kenny came out the end. 171 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.399 Okay. So then on the women's side, I mean, you've 172 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:28.200 got other big Tony Storm doesn't have a match, uh, 173 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:32.720 Queen Aminada, Julia hart Uh. I'm thinking because the week 174 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.240 before I believe Double or Nothing, the show is in 175 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.440 is emanating from Chicago, Illinois my career. That's right right. 176 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.799 Before Double or Nothing they do with Dynamite and Collision 177 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:53.279 in Albuquerque. Okayro you got Detroit. Then next week is 178 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.440 Beach Break. That's the Dynamite Collision tape at the Arena 179 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.919 in Chicago. And then the week before Double that one 180 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.759 day on Saturday is an Albuquerque. 181 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.399 I'm thinking next week in Chicago, you're going to see 182 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.679 you're gonna see the return of sky Blue, I mean honestly, 183 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.279 and then you're gonna see something You're you're gonna see 184 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.679 something with sky Blue betraying Julia Hart or teaming with 185 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.639 Julia Heart to go against somebody else. I surprise, I 186 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.320 wouldn't be surprised to see something going on where it's 187 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.279 going to be sky Blue and Julia Hart versus Penelope 188 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.720 Port and Megan Bain at double or nothing. 189 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.200 So I thought I just was having where you were 190 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.559 mentioning these tag teams for the women's side. 191 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.600 Possibility they could reveal. 192 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.200 Tomorrow or the next week that the women's tag team 193 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.799 division could have a tournament at double or nothing. 194 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:46.440 That would be good. 195 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.360 I mean, you know what I mean, because we've known 196 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.679 for a while that the rumor is that's coming. 197 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:55.919 So what's a better time to do it than when 198 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.399 you've got nothing else planned? 199 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:00.200 How would you do that? Whuen? Didn't you have have 200 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.159 like two semi final matches or two quarter final matches 201 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.679 like on Dynamite and Collision and then that No, no, 202 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.600 then you'd have to do the. 203 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.200 To be honest, to be honest with you if I'm 204 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.639 gonna do it, and I'm gonna do it big. I'm 205 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.519 gonna do it two semis and and I'm gonna have 206 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.000 three matches at all in I'm gonna have the two 207 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.279 semis committee in the final. 208 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.080 Let me let me break in here and ask you 209 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.240 guys a question. Well, first of all, the burning scores 210 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.799 and Chat said, what about Billy Starks and Harley Cameron. 211 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.639 Harley Cameron definitely, you know she's she's big right now, 212 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:38.919 she's getting the pops. She needs to be on this 213 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.639 pay per view. But look, here's here's the thing that 214 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.000 I wanted to bring up. A tournament for women's tag 215 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.879 would be great at least to get started here. But 216 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.080 wouldn't that take away from the owen Hart Finals doing 217 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.720 something like that? And I don't think Tony Kahn would 218 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:55.960 do that. 219 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.960 I agree. I think if you're gonna create titles like that, 220 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.440 make it a big deal and do it at all in, 221 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.720 give them, give them that six week you've. 222 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.639 Got to start. You know what they could do is 223 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.279 next week. I believe that's the one in Chicago's next week. Right, 224 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:18.360 announced the tournament this week and next week as sky 225 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.399 Blew with Julia Hart open it up. 226 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.679 Nelson, I think I think he nailed it. They announce it, 227 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.120 and then the next couple of builds where they say 228 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.200 it doesn't start until after double or nothing is backstage 229 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:31.480 segments with teams. 230 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:36.159 For me exactly. I liked when they did the look 231 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.759 remember when they did the blind Tag Team Challenge, and 232 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:46.159 that's how Adam Cole and MGF became partners and that 233 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.799 became let's base it. Maybe the devil storyline wasn't the 234 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.799 greatest and it kind of put some people off, but 235 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:59.159 the partnership itself was extremely good. It was extremely good. Uh, 236 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.320 and they I think they made it if I'm wondering 237 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.720 if Adam Cole did not get injured. If that, they 238 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.159 wouldn't have rushed it and they would have kept it 239 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.639 going because better than You Beabe was a hot commodity. 240 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.120 The crowd was over it got talked about everywhere, and 241 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:23.159 they sold the hell out of merch. So I mean 242 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.480 they need something like that. I mean, I'm not saying 243 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.559 that any of the women's tag teams put together would 244 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.080 do that, but can you imagine sky Blue coming out 245 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:42.080 to do a match in Chicago where she's from. She 246 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.399 always gets a big pop and remember when she was injured, 247 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.840 when she was injured and still on crutches. She was 248 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.919 injured and still on crutches. She came out all Out 249 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.519 last year because All Out was held in Chicago. I 250 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.600 remember she got, she got, she took a bump, which 251 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:06.240 I thought was I thought that was insane, having somebody 252 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.919 who was legitimately, legitimately injured getting squashed onto the onto 253 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.679 the ramp there. 254 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.519 That was kind of that's a good setup too, Like 255 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.759 when they're forming all the teams and you know, Tony 256 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.639 Shravanni or Renee or somebody can ask Julia and she 257 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.000 just smiles and she's like, I've got somebody in mind, 258 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.600 and then she goes off. But everyone wonders, who's your partner? 259 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.720 Who's her partner? And that's your mystery, return tells and 260 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:28.320 that works. 261 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.480 Well, yeah, that does you know. I I look, I 262 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.679 just want to see them do something that would get 263 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.960 talked about, you know, then you get talking points. Speaking 264 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:46.279 of talking points, wow, once again, Wwe released a ton 265 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.879 of wrestlers and some of them are some pretty big names. 266 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:57.240 And is there anybody on this on that list that 267 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:02.879 that you see that could be good pickups in a 268 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:05.720 situation for Ray W. 269 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:15.039 Sutton or Nut. You guys go first, you go first. 270 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.840 I really don't know. 271 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:23.159 I that's how little I pay attention to WWE, so 272 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.000 I don't know. I think AW really needs to fix 273 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.799 a couple of things before they add more people to 274 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.879 the roster. They already have enough people that we don't 275 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:40.919 see enough, and I think they need to concentrate on 276 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.879 what they have and really strengthen that before they start 277 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.559 adding more and more people. That's yeah, I feel about it. 278 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:54.360 You know, I agree with you. But there are some 279 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.200 people on the AW roster that arguably, and I don't 280 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.799 know because I'm not a booker, but they're not being 281 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:05.639 used for a reason, possibly because they're just not that good, 282 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.840 you know whatever. I mean, let's face it, AW just 283 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:19.559 UH mutually agreed to UH to release the Righteous. Now. 284 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:21.720 I did see reports, but it was very it was 285 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.159 very amicable, and the Righteous are open to working matches 286 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.559 for a w R o H. So I wouldn't be 287 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.960 surprised if we don't see them again. They're just not 288 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.240 on the roster anymore. And that's the way you do it. 289 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:34.080 UH. 290 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.840 Look, probably the biggest name out there that got released 291 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:43.279 on the men's side at least is broad Breaker, is 292 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.039 a Breaker or Strowman. I forget who was Strom. As 293 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:48.639 soon as I said Breaker, I knew I was wrong. 294 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.000 I think there's some issues outside of wrestling. Is why 295 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.320 he got released. 296 00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.919 Well, he's and he's injured a lot. I mean he's 297 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.559 not healthy prime Yeah, injured braun Strowman. 298 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:02.960 No. 299 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.480 On the women's side, Dakota Kai. 300 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:08.799 Yep, that's what I was thinking, So. 301 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.079 Go ahead, help, go ahead something. 302 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.640 If you're gonna bring all the people that were released 303 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:20.640 this time from WWE, the women's side is where they'll 304 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.400 pick up people, if they're gonna pick people up, because 305 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.200 Dakota Kai would be the best signing. 306 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.640 But there are some others who. 307 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.519 They might be, like on the fringe, and I don't 308 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.480 know a lot of them because I haven't watched WWE 309 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.200 in forever. But the women's side in aew although it's 310 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:42.720 a very strong roster, could use some more, yeah, because 311 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.200 the men's have got a ton of people. 312 00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.640 Yeah, you know, here's the thing. Now, I can honestly 313 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.240 say that I don't know many other than braun Strowman, 314 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.240 who I obviously think is broad Breaker from the same person, 315 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.279 But they're not but other than that. But on the 316 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:03.359 women's side, there are women in on that list who 317 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.680 did perform in AAW during the AW Dark and Dark 318 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:12.599 Elevation Day days. Here's the thing, a lot of these 319 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.119 people that were released or in their upper thirties, even 320 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.480 in their forties. Do AW want to bring more old people? 321 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:24.839 You know? I have twice their age and I'm calling 322 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.160 them old people, you know, but you understand what I'm saying. Yeah, 323 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:32.839 So here, go ahead, go ahead. 324 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.400 A couple a couple of things that I think we've 325 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:40.079 learned from some of the talent that's come from WWE 326 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.240 to AW, and I think they're going to keep a 327 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.680 bigger eye on this. There are individuals who will never 328 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.880 let go of wanting to go back to WWE. And 329 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.880 I don't remember who did the interview, but they talked 330 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:57.039 about the trauma of working there, and they didn't mean 331 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.079 traumas in like you come away and you're non functioning being, 332 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.039 But there's just an emotional way of thinking that they 333 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.559 get stuck so they leave. They will not lose anybody 334 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:09.160 or job to anybody who is in a former WWE talent, 335 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.519 And I don't know if that's the case for sure, 336 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.440 with mal Kai Black, but I know I never took 337 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.920 a pin from anybody who didn't work in WWE previously 338 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:20.119 the entire time he was in aw same thing, similar, 339 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.640 similar stuff with Ruscev, similar stuff with some other people. 340 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.400 If they bring folks in now, they need to bring 341 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.839 people in who are willing to invest the time to 342 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.200 reinvent themselves and look at it as a fresh run. 343 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.480 People like a Ricochet, people like an Adam Copeland who 344 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.920 wants to do something different for the last couple of 345 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.799 years of his career. That's why when I think of 346 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.720 younger talent like Coora Jaide, I would be I would 347 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.559 be maybe on the fence about her. I think as 348 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.000 somebody who came up through their system, she may never 349 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:49.720 let go of that. Are you're going to get somebody 350 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.160 who really wants to compete. She's young, so she's not 351 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:54.079 going to have the sway to refuse to job, but 352 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.079 I'd be concerned about that. D Koda Kai is the 353 00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:59.319 one that I'd focus on. Go ahead, Kelson, anyone, I. 354 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:01.599 Want to address your cor j a thing, because Cordjate 355 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.640 is who I wanted to talk about. Cord j Aid 356 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.079 is one of the women who did perform in AW. 357 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.000 She had two matches in AW, one a singles match 358 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.480 against Red Velvet, which he lost, and then a tag 359 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.400 team match against Red Velvet and somebody else and they 360 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.039 lost that too, and she lost that too. But cord Jade, 361 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.920 of course, when she did that, I think she was 362 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.440 eighteen years old or nineteen years old. She's very young, right, 363 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.000 court j AD's still young. She's twenty four. Now to 364 00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.799 your point, there's two things I want to bring up, 365 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.240 so bear with me. Or to your point, cord j 366 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.200 did come out after she was released from WWE and 367 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:44.279 did say that she was body shamed by producers, management, 368 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.519 whatever at WWE, which to me is preposterous. That should 369 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:55.200 never happen to any wrestler. By Okay, that's one thing, Okay, 370 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.400 I just want to put that out there so that 371 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.440 may put a little bit of a d emper on 372 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.319 your point that she wants to go back there. Maybe 373 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.160 that'd be like I wouldn't go back there or anything 374 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.359 similar to what Ricochet said saying that came out last 375 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:16.319 week and said basically, WWE killed my passion for professional wrestling, 376 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.319 AW rekindled it. The second point I want to make 377 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.720 is this cor Jade, who is now going by your 378 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.039 original name of Elena Black. Elena Black made a post 379 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:31.240 on Twitter asking her fans who she would like to 380 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:35.839 who they would like to see her wrestle, you know, 381 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.119 book just booker, and immediately, I think was the first 382 00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:45.839 response was Julia Hart and at her response was hey 383 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.599 at Julia Art. You know, she basically called her out, 384 00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.440 you know, so there may be something that the works 385 00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:57.000 with Corde. Of all the people that I saw on 386 00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.599 the list, cor j would be number one because as 387 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.640 people probably know about me, as far as who I 388 00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.599 think they should sign. I don't want a w to 389 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:15.160 sign somebody like Basler or any any of these older 390 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.680 older guys and older women, because we've got that already. 391 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.839 We got her Karasheta on the on the women's side, 392 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:28.839 you know, and ReHO that that they're not using sign somebody. 393 00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.640 If you're going to sign somebody, sign somebody like kor 394 00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:35.519 Jaide that you will use. Don't forget. We still got 395 00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:38.799 Rig of Honor over there. That Yeah, if you look 396 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.079 at the rig of Honor roster, it's not that deep 397 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:43.680 at a lot of the people that are on the 398 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:47.279 Ring of Honor roster are on the aw roster if 399 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:51.839 they signed somebody's young stars like Kor Jade Uh and 400 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:54.759 some of these other specifically the women that were that 401 00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:58.400
