1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: I gotta throw this out there first because they're worthy

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: of criticism. But now that Mjf's back, give all this

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: stuff some time, Give them time to organically slip into

4

Speaker 1: of y'all. So with me is Jeff and I and

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: we're going to start right now. Okay, Now, I gotta

11
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: throw this out there first because they're worthy of criticism.

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: But now that I'm j back, give all this stuff

13
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: some time. Give them time to organically slip into a story,

14
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: A story that means something, A story that makes you

15
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: want to watch. I'm not saying you're like, I can't

16
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: miss what's going to happen with Samoa Joe's tutelage of

17
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Hook and Shabbata and how they're going to bring him

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: into this extoruld I happen to like that story. I'm

19
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: not saying it's compelling enough for you. The wwe only

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: fan to watch, but you know, the MJF stuff was

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: good and he's back. I'll start with that and then

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: we're going to come back to it. But we're going

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: to start with a W and the main story, which

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: isn't even really a story because it's real quick, which

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: is Swerve Strickland, the aw world champion, heavyweight champion, and

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the international champion Will Ospray, who everybody loves, is starting

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: to heat up as quickly as they can heat this up.

28
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: The match I think is this weekend actually, so they

29
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: haven't had much time to make this mean something. So

30
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: here's the story that they're trying to tell. It's friends

31
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: that respect one another and have to wrestle each other. Okay,

32
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: that's not that exciting. So one of them has to

33
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: cross a line, right, one of them has to cross

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: a boundary that normally friends wouldn't cross. If Jeff and

35
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: I were in a conversation, we got in an argument

36
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like he said something about

37
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: my marriage, I'd be like, YO, whoa.

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: WHOA, what the fuck?

39
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: Why are we trying to talk about that instead of

40
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: the problem at hand here? And that's what the champ

41
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland has done swerve. I'll say on the promo,

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: a seven right in the ring, A ten aspray in

43
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: the ring, A ten onto mic, a freaking ten. At

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: least since he's gotten to AW I don't know his

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: promo work outside the company, So if you if you

46
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: think I'm overstating it, that's that's fair. But from what

47
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I've seen, the guy effectively commutes communicates a message each

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: and every promo he has. He establishes who he is,

49
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: what kind of man he is, what his goal is,

50
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: and what's the obstacle standing between him and his goal,

51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: and he executes that, and how he's going to approach

52
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: the obstacle. Is he going to go over it, around it,

53
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: straight through it? Is he going to cower and run away? No,

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: he's not a bitch ass heel, He's a babyface. He'll

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: never do that. So that's kind of how a scene

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: is built, and that's how a proper promo or monologue

57
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: should be built as well, and he's always done well

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: with that. That said, they have had no time, no

59
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: time to make people care about this match. Now. I

60
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: know I'm talking a lot, Jeff, bear with me. I'm

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: going back to what I said at the beginning with

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: MJF we saw them a couple weeks ago. When I

63
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: say them, I'm talking about Will Ospray and Maxwell Jacob Friedman.

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Will ran out there to help out in a situation.

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: They ended up back to back, turned and almost fought

66
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: each other. That's the they're telling you what the future

67
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: story is right there. You know they're not going to

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: let will Ospray have both titles this quickly without a

69
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: real storyline. That can't be the plan. No matter what

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: if it is, I'll be a son of a bitch

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: and and ever no will be more disappointed than me.

72
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: And I love will Ospray, I love professional wrestling. I

73
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: want all these places to succeed, But you can't put

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: the title on him that quickly. The International one doesn't

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: mean anything yet, but that's the key Yet. I think

76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: the next storyline is gonna be Will Ospray and Maxwell

77
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: Jacob Freeman, and those two men have the potential to

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: make the International Championship mean more than the damn World's

79
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: Championship because of how great they are in the ring,

80
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: and because of the stories they can both tell on

81
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: a microphone, and because of the history that MJF has

82
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: had and the successful history of telling stories in the ring,

83
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: not just monologues, but stories and spreads, spread out stories,

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: the Wardlow story, the cmpunk story, long term stories. He's

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: real good at that, So I would say give them

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: time now that the homeboy is back from injury. He

87
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: had the little thing with Ruche just to remind you

88
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: that this dude can still wrestle his ass off, And

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: it's nice to give Ruth some shine too, because that

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: fool is pretty good in the ring, and you forget

91
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: about him because he never has a reason to fight.

92
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: They just put him in matches and he loses. But

93
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: that was fine. It is what it is. But they

94
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: hinted at what the story's gonna be. I think that's

95
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: the future storyline. I don't think it's gonna be for

96
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: the World Championship. They'll figure someone else for Swerve, and

97
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a storyline that's up there with

98
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: the top with the top MJF stuff, just because of

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: what Will Osprey can bring to the table as well.

100
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: That was all in one breath, Jeff.

101
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: I agree, I think and people are gonna not be

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: happy about this because I think real wrestling fans love

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: a w and they love AAW because it's it's this,

104
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: It's it's the indies with a better budget. It's the indies.

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: It's like a it's an indie wet dream in a

106
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: lot of ways, like you have all the guys now,

107
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: I think, like I said, it's not popular. I think

108
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: aw's gonna have to reinvent itself a little bit. I

109
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: think they're doing all the right things. When you watch AW,

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: go this is good. It's good stuff. They've got a

111
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: lot of they got the best names right like Osprey, MJF, Moxley,

112
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: You like, you can go down the list and go, wow,

113
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: they have. They have just as good of a roster

114
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: when it comes to like wrestling as any other wrestling thing.

115
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: But what I'll say is like they've got to reinvent themselves,

116
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like like when when when

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: WWE is having like bad ratings or something there, they'll

118
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: try a thing. They'll try like a big crazy thing.

119
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: At least that's what it seems like to me When

120
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: I watch, I'm like, oh, now they're doing this kind

121
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: of storyline or now they've kind of got this thing,

122
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: or they're trying like weird they're not out there. They'll

123
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: take big swings and sometimes they'll miss, but they take

124
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: big swings, whereas I feel like a W is just

125
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: this kind of steady, great glorified indies thing. And so

126
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: whenever there is a big swing that hits a home

127
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: run in the WWE, all aw's ratings go down. And

128
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't know why that is, but they had the

129
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: lowest ratings in record history this last week. And I

130
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: don't think it's a coincidence that they had record ratings

131
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: when WB had the best SmackDown and the best raw

132
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: that we've seen in a really, really, really long time.

133
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: So I think I don't have an exact answer, because

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: what the hell do I know? But I will say

135
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: that I think AW should be nervous and they need

136
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: to really reinvent themselves and and put something on that

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: everybody's talking about that would rival a WYAT six or

138
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: a Drew Punk you know, feud or.

139
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Something like that.

140
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, they're gonna have to

141
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: do something, and I think that it can't just be oh,

142
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: we have you know Sasha Banks now that we're never

143
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: gonna use, Like, you've got to figure out a way

144
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: that people are going, oh, have you seen what they're

145
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: doing over there, like like you're not You're too young

146
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: of a company to just coast on being the indie guys.

147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm considering a lot of the first half of what

148
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: you said. I still need time to consider all that

149
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: because I think it. My first reaction was I think

150
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: it's better than glorified indies, but you could be right.

151
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: I just need more time to sit on that. But

152
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: the other stuff is pretty I made pretty dead on

153
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, their ratings dropped over two hundred thousand viewers

154
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: when MJF got hurt. We consistently, so I think you

155
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: have to give it a little bit of time for

156
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: people to know he's back and being a story that

157
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: means something, and then they can start getting some numbers

158
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: back and then hopefully find somebody. I'll say this, they're

159
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: trying to find people. They're trying to see if Nick

160
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Wayne's going to be their young start. You know, they

161
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: put him in there with Christian who's a frigging genius

162
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: on the microphone and wizard in the ring. He knows

163
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: everything there is to know about the business. So they

164
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: they're giving Hooks Samoa Joe and for storytelling and Shabbata

165
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: for work, and you see the kids work getting better

166
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: in the ring quickly, so they're they're trying to bring

167
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: this next group up. But they had bad luck with

168
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: at him Cole. He got hurt multiple times, may still

169
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: be hurt. They have bad luck with MJF because he

170
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: ended up getting injured too, because the whole company was

171
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: practically on his back or his shoulders, and I think

172
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: his shoulders went on him. So it takes time. They

173
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: haven't given Swerve a story that meant anything, like the

174
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: Christian thing was not drawn out. It was quick, it

175
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: was less just show Swerves the champ. Then his return

176
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: on delivering on his promise was met with weak response

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: because of the way it was booked. So it's it's tricky.

178
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: But Mjf's back. We trust an MJF. We trust an MJF.

179
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: I voted for him for wrestling commissioner, and he's gonna

180
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: win and then he can kind of take over the

181
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: story part and and kick butt and give them a chance.

182
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're going anywhere unless Tony runs

183
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: out of money, and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

184
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: So as far as the reinvention goes. Maybe your boys

185
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: got plans on that. Maybe your boys trying to reinvent

186
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: some stuff and come out with his own shit, you

187
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So maybe let aw do their

188
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: thing and don't give anybody any good ideas except your brother.

189
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Instead of on a podcast that's listened to all over

190
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: the world.

191
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: We got we already got the wrestling thing that we

192
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: want to succeed the federation. But I will say, uh,

193
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: when I say reinvent themselves, I mean instead of going

194
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: and looking for a new shining toy, like what if?

195
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: What if? You know? Seth Rawlins returned and he came

196
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: to a W. That's still not an answer. You've got

197
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: all these pieces at a W like you just said,

198
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: swerve you ospray MJF so Samoa Joe mox like it

199
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: is just such a long list, use it. Figure out

200
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: how to use the good stuff you got instead of

201
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: going for the easy pops of healed turns. And you

202
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: know we got so and so from what's its face? Oh,

203
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: here's a Japanese guy that everyone is so excited that

204
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: he came over and now it's been a week and

205
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: that we're not even using him. So I was just saying, like,

206
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: find a way to use the pieces. You got to

207
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: hear you.

208
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: I hear you, dude, all right. The other story in

209
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: AW is the Women's World Championship and there's a there's

210
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: a tragic love triangle going on Jeff that sometimes gets

211
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: pretty sexy. And it's Tony Storm, the Women's World Champion,

212
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: great wrestler. She's awesome in the ring. Mina Shirakawa from Japan.

213
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: I don't know much about her, but she's got a

214
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: great look. She seems really cool, her matches are cool.

215
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: She seems like a chick I would I would dig

216
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: and party with and have fun and like the person

217
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: you want to show you Japan like would get you

218
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: into the clubs that the American wouldn't be allowed into.

219
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: That's what she seems like. And then in the middle

220
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: of this triangle is Mariah May from England and she

221
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: wrestles like a Japanese dude. I really like her works

222
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: and she seems like she's pretty good on the mic

223
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: the character stuff, not as good as her real self,

224
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Like when she was speaking on the mic for the

225
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: contract sign and I was like, oh, she knows how

226
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: to carry herself. Wait way more than I originally thought.

227
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: I know where this story's going. I think everybody does,

228
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: because eventually we want to see Mariah May as a champion,

229
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: and that would conflict with the relationship she's having with

230
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: Tony Storm. I don't know if if Forbidden Door is

231
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: the match where she's going to turn on Tony Storm,

232
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: but I think there could be a mistake that's made

233
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: by Mariah May that pisses Tony Storm off, but Tony

234
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: is able to overcome the mistake and retain the Women's

235
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: World Championship. However, it will put a wedge in their relationship,

236
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: for a wedge between her cheek and the bosom of

237
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Tony Storm, which is where she likes to press people's

238
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: cheeks these days. So does mean to Shirakawa by the way,

239
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: that said, I genuinely think they have something in Mariah

240
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: May and I don't. I hope it's sooner than later,

241
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: but I know she's going to be a champ, and

242
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: I kind of am looking forward to it every week.

243
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, I'm not just tripping like she's good.

244
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: She knows what the hell she's going on, what's going

245
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: on in there, she knows what she's doing and the

246
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: more opportunity they give her on the MIC, the more

247
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: experience they give her on TV, the more she's handling it.

248
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: So I think there's something there. Dude, What about you, sir?

249
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: I've had zero reason to care about the about the

250
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: a lot of the women's stuff in AEW in general.

251
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: But I like Miriam for the one thing that you

252
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: just said. She fights good. She's a good wrestler, and

253
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: that's what I care about. I mean, if I wanted to.

254
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: Fights good, that's the that's the by the way, that's

255
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: a great good. She fights good. If I wanted to

256
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: see hot chicks, I'd go to Instagram. I want to

257
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: see good wrestling. So yeah, you bring out some girl,

258
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: I go, we have very pretty, but where's the wrestling.

259
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: So I like Miriam because she fights good.

260
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: And so any of those, any of those wrestlers that

261
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: like you can defend their wrestling and not their their looks.

262
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: All right, you guys know this the reviews this week.

263
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: But give us those reviews. I will read them on there.

264
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: If you want to get shut out that, I'll even

265
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: say your name too. Just make sure you put it

266
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: in there and not just like a username, because sometimes

267
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: those are weird and hard to say, and they're just

268
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: letters and numbers. Outside of that, Thank you for listening,
