Speaker 3: of the company.

39
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,280

40
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: because I got hurt during an interview?

41
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: So no.

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,000

Speaker 4: to see, you know, Texas Oklahoma that rivalry, but it

59

93
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: to kind of like to listen to old wrestling matches

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,839

Speaker 4: subtle hints of taking it back to the pass as

162
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: a wrestling fan, we noticed that kind of stuff, and

163
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: that was I kind of marked out for that, no

164
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 4: pun intended.

165
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: I mean I always say that's what I do, but

166
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: like I realized what it takes to tie things together.

167
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Because I want to entertain the people. My purpose is

168
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: not to go out there and glory, like go out

169
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: there and be a glory hounds like I'm going to

170
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: perform for the people exactly to get your money's worth.

171
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: And if you come to Garland. I promise you you

172
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: will get your money's worth the AW shows.

173
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: They're not selling out for no reason.

174
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: They're selling out because people know that they're going to

175
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: get quality entertainment, that they're going to be a part

176
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: of something that's.

177
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Building into what could be the number one company in

178
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: the world one day for sure. Don't you want to

179
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: be a part of something that grows? Don't you want

180
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: to be a part of.

181
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: Something that has fire and flared to it like AAWS.

182
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: Where is that? Yeah?

183
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: And I mean you've seen and we've all seen it

184
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: as fans because we were at one of the first

185
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 4: AW Dynamite shows when it first started, before the pandemic happened.

186
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: And you know, having seen a lot of AEW growth

187
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 4: from the outside, looking at and now as an employee,

188
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: what are some of the areas there's still areas of

189
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 4: opportunity for AW to improve and grow up on because

190
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: right now it's you look at ratings every week astronomically

191
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: they're excelling every week, selling out venues. I mean, you're

192
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 4: going to a tennis stadium and I was looking at

193
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: tickets for that and there's not very many left for

194
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 4: those either.

195
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, and we've already sold fifteen thousand plus there's

196
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: only two thousand tickets left.

197
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: You know, there's not going to be enough tickets for

198
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: walk up.

199
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so in the next a month people need to

200
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: get those other seventeen eighteen hundred tickets.

201
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: Otherwise you'll be watching on TV what we say in

202
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: in the wrestling builds, you'll be all out, all out

203
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: rather than all in.

204
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: So I'm the number one thing that I would have

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: to put put up there is this is we have

206
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: to do more of this marketing and creating relationships with media,

207
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: not just the big media, but the grassroots media, the

208
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: podcast the companies that are interested in pro wrestling, not

209
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: only to market but also just fans and community involvement.

210
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:59,800

211
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,000

Speaker 5: And so it's.

222
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: Like we're gonna touch everything that we can in the

223
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: communities that we'll go to to let people know that

224
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,679

227
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: For sure, do you ever I mean, I think this

228
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 5: is kind of an obvious answer, but do you see

229
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,520

230
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,280

231
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,920

232
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 5: kind of a fan experience, kind of like what WW

00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 5: does with like a kind of a week long event

234
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 5: leading up to the big pay per view and maybe

235
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 5: you know, eventually a Hall of Fame, but also just

236
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 5: the fan experience you get when you do the big,

237
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 5: huge shows like the WrestleMania. Do you see that kind

238
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,720

Speaker 5: the sense that with a W there's really no doors

258
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 5: in the sense that they're working with a lot of

259
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 5: different companies. Looking back on your w W career and

293
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: You know, one cool thing is you see a lot

294
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: of the companies working together. This past weekend we were

295
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: at Slammiversary, amazing show. Kenny Omega absolutely crushed it. Thunder Rosa,

296
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: who's seen on a w And of course with Jay

297
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: White showing up, what was your first thought when you

298
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: saw all these companies He's working together and it all

299
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 4: centered around a W I.

300
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: Thought, what a novel concept. Give the fans what they

301
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: want and not have it be one sided. And I

302
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: think that coming up, it's gonna be real interesting to

303
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: see a relationship between Jay White and Kenny o'meaker.

304
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen?

305
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 6: Uh?

306
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: Jay White pretty much rank Kenny out.

307
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: Of the Bullet Club and out of Japan and now

308
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: here they are back in America where people can see

309
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: him on a week to week basis at Impact.

310
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: So, uh, this is gonna be good, man. It's gonna

311
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: be good for pro wrestling.

312
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 3: Because I mean when we were sitting.

313
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 4: There and we saw, you know, the Bound for Glory

314
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 4: thing and the first logo that showed up was ae W,

315
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: I was like, as a wrestling fan, this is the

316
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: greatest thing in the world because it all centered around

317
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: one person and that's Tony Kahan, which is a great

318
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: because growing up as a wrestling thing, you didn't see

319

Speaker 4: that until you know, the invasion happened back you know,

00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,360

326
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,720

328
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: And there are a lot of guys that are at

329
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: that action that are not doing they should and just

330
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: be a complete, a true independent contractor and go to

331
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: ae W and WWE and New Japan and tripa A

Speaker 5: Yeah, and then.

336
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: To speak the pro wrestling gospel to the big networks

Speaker 2: in Hollywood so that we all get to eat for sure.

338
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 5: And I've been I've been throwing this out to like

339
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 5: every guest. So I'll see what your opinion is. So,

340
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: you know, late eighties there was a Supercard. You know,

341
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 5: there was a huge event. Well it ended up not

342
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 5: being huge, but there was a huge event that was

343
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: trying to go against events, and you had like AWA, CWA,

344
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 5: w CCW, you know, you had all these federations that

345
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 5: banded together and had one big super show. Do you

346
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 5: think that there the climate today would work for that,

347
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 5: like a mutual you know, aw Ring of Honor, Impact

348
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 5: New Japan, Like just have a super show and just

349
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 5: give the fans every you know, every fantasy match they've

350
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 5: ever wanted kind of a deal.

351
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't know, I think that a

352
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: W is doing it on his own.

353
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know, we don't we don't really need

354
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 2: anybody else to do that. But it's cool to have

355
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: the forbidden door and to be able to work with

356
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: impact and power and and and as far as organized

357
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: and something that's a collective. I don't necessarily think that

358
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: it's needed because we're already doing it.

359
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. That's a good point. Well, now that

Speaker 5: We'll do all of.

408
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,359

409
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: point where she can wake up at four o'clock in

410
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: the morning and if somebody grabs her in the headlock,

Speaker 2: In the industry, Uh, there's a lot to learn, and

414
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: you want to learn it on a good clip, but

415
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: you don't want to do it so fast that you

416
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: get injured and that kind of thing. And she has

417
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: tried to do things that she probably shouldn't be doing

418
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 2: yet and she's gotten injured. So we're gonna slow down,

419
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: work the fundamentals and let her evolve. Uh it took

420
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: me three years, she's been in less than one. Yeah,

421
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 2: So the Jade Cargill that we're going to get in

422
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: three years is going to be one of the main

423
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 2: event players on the show.

424
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: She's already must see TV.

425
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: But man, we'll be talking about her like we talked

426
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: about Kenny Omega in three years.

427
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 4: That's that's right, been strong write that down as of

428
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 4: you know July.

429
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did.

430
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 4: So there's a huge show taking place in Garland, Texan

431
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 4: on the twenty four Texas aw invades the Lone Star State.

432
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 4: Of course, you can still grab tickets right now a

433
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 4: w ticks dot com. Let me ask you this mark.

434
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: How important is Texas to the history of pro wrestling?

435
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: Oh, it's very important. Uh, Texas has historically been really

436
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: hardcore wrestling. Every state or every city in the Great

437
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: State kind of adopts a by this Texas tough guy,

438
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: tough girl philosophy.

439
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: Wrestling is not meant to be to the fame of heart.

440
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: Here you're gonna see blood and guts, and you're gonna

441
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: see endurance matches. You're gonna see people wrestle for thirty

442
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: minutes an hour, like Texas Wrestling is different. So we're

443
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: the bigger and the better brand of wrestling in the country.

444
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: So I see a w every time that we come

445
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: to Texas. We try to give Texas fans what they want,

446
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: what they've seen for one hundred years, and I don't

447
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 2: I don't think there's gonna be any different.

448
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: A w is is open to.

449
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: Historical references in pro wrestling, and I know that we're

450
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: going to get it done for sure.

451
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 5: Did you did you watch World Class growing up or

452
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 5: was there another wrestling I did?

453
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: I watched World Class. I watched Mid South every now

454
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: and then, you know, you get Paul Bosh as well

455
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: as Fridsvine there. You know, we get Dallas, Houston, and Louisiana.

456
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: Uh in the little area where I was nice.

457
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 5: I think I watched more Mid South because it was

458
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 5: from Memphis, so you'd have some Memphis guys going to

459
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 5: Texas and Texas guy's going to Memphis. But we eventually

460
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 5: got world class towards the end of their run, like

461
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 5: when they like the last two years, just when they

462
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 5: kind of went huge and then they kind of sank.

463
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: But uh, yeah, you're you're right. It's a different breed

464
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 5: of of wrestling and mentality down in Texas for sure.

465
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 5: So we have a fan question and maybe a little random,

466
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 5: but we just said we'd ask it. It's our listener

467
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 5: James Biscardi, who is Jim Biscardi on Twitter. He wants

468
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 5: to know, if you ever returned to the ring, would

469
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 5: you wear a dark Side inspired year of DC comics.

470
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: Mark already knows where this is going. That look right

471
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: there set it all.

472
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: I love dark Side.
