Speaker 1: out of twenty twenty? Because I, me and you have

71
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: had these conversations. It's just not been a fun year

72
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: for either of us.

73
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: It's like I almost like don't like telling people, you know,

74
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: it's like what's going on? Or like, how how's your

75
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty going? Like it almost sounds like I'm making

76
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: everything up, you know, like with health stuff and family

77
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: members sick, family members passing away, losing pets, you know,

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: just it just seems like every time, you know, I

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: caught up with a buddy the other day. It was

80
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: actually my friend Josh. He's the one I went to

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: WrestleMania with two years ago and we hadn't talked since

82
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: I think September, and so you know, I've gone to

83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: the er since then. Had a grandmother and the family

84
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: passed away. I have another one that got hospice called

85
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: in on like it just you know, it just seems

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: like every time I update people, it's like I'm making

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: you know, you know, making stuff up. So yeah, if

88
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: we can limp into twenty twenty one, I think things,

89
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: I think the times won't be turning. But it's, man,

90
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: this this year has been rough pretty much everyone.

91
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's you know, like you said, I mean,

92
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: with the stuff going on with you and then I

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: just you know, recently lost my grandmother to COVID and yeah,

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: and then of course here in Nashville on Christmas morning,

95
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: you had the bomb that went off on Second Avenue,

96
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: and it's just like, Okay, like you said, the tides

97
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: are kind of turning. Maybe we'll we'll limp into twenty

98
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: twenty one. I mean, we'll probably crawl in there, but uh, you.

99
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Know, bruised, but I think, you know, there's got to

100
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: be a light at the end of the tunnel.

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, you know, kind of kind of what

102
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: we we I had like a list of kind of

103
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: stuff that we were going to talk about because we

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: took last week off just because it was Christmas, and

105
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, we just wanted to kind of recrup and

106
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: just kind of start fresh again this week, and we're

107
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna have some people lined up, but of course, it

108
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: being Christmas in New Year's we're going to push those

109
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: back to January first. But uh, you know, over the weekend,

110
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: we we got the shocking news and it literally stunned

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: the entire wrestling community. But the passing of Brodie Lee

112
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Luke Harper, you know, it was one of those things

113
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: that I was scrolling through and I saw it and

114
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: I was like, what just happened? Like is this you

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: know it? Did it whatever? Like John Huber is his

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: real name, And I thought at first, well is this

117
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: part of you know when they posted that, I thought, well,

118
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: maybe because he's been off TV, maybe this is like

119
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: something that they you know, did, like how Sean Spears

120
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: has taken himself off of everything. So I thought maybe

121
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: this was kind of the storyline until I saw and

122
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: read everything.

123
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, anytime someone passes, that's you know, in

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: the wrestling business, you're always going to have the tributes

125
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: come out and all that stuff. And this one's a

126
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: special especially, I would say bittersweet, just because I mean

127
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: he was an act of wrestler, you know, I mean,

128
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: he made his debut this year, they put him up

129
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: the the dark order. He beat Cody for the TNT title.

130
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: I mean like he was really kind of I mean

131
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: kind of for the first time really you know, being

132
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: presented in the right way. You know, he was. He

133
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: wasn't like, you know, relegated to you know, Bray Wyatt's

134
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: Hinchman or some random TAC team. I mean, he was

135
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: he was kind of like legitimate, you know.

136
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

137
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: I mean even his match with Moxley. You know, he

138
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: didn't win obviously, but I mean definitely put a lot

139
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: of eyes on him. And you know, the I think

140
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: the overwhelming sentiment is just like how good of a

141
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: dude he was, and then also like how you know,

142
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: how important his family was. And I know, you text

143
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: me last week and you're like, Kenny Omegan dropped the

144
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: bell and I was like what yeah, And I was like,

145
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: I haven't watched since the Dynamite were he he beat

146
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Moxley and Steam debut. That was the last Well. I

147
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: watched the last part of Impact the next week when

148
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: he was on there, But I mean I haven't watched

149
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: wrestling in like three weeks, and so I kind of

150
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: wasn't paying attention. I was like what and you're like, yeah,

151
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: he like pinned Bradie Lee's kid or Bradie Lee's kid

152
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: pinned him and won the title and ever. And it's like, oh,

153
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: that's okay, that's really weird. But now like that that,

154
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: you know, that has more gravity, that makes a lot

155
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: more you know, they're kind of doing something special. And

156
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: I you know, I think one of his kids is

157
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: actually named Brody, so I think he took that name

158
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: uh in aw to kind of you know, pay tribute

159
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: to that. So but yeah, I mean it's I don't

160
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: know it was. You know, he's he's been out for

161
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: a little bit and they're now saying it's a non

162
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 2: COVID related lung issue. You know, they could be a

163
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: million things from lung cancer to I don't know, SNOPD.

164
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know. I think that's what Jake

165
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: Roberts has right now. So yeah, it's really sad. I

166
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: mean he you know, when he did have his few

167
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: little moments to shine over in WWE, it was kind

168
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: of like the cizarro thing, like, God, why aren't they

169
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: using this guy? You know, I know when he I

170
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: think when he broke away from the Wyatt family and

171
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: I want to say that's when he won the Intercontinental title.

172
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: But he had like, he had some singles matches that

173
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: were just like top notch, and I know he did

174
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: like the kind of he was outside the ring and

175
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: he kind of did the over the top rope syn

176
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: on and everyone's like, holy crap, Like I can't believe

177
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: this big dude could do that, you know, and it

178
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 2: just sucks that he didn't, you know, like a lot

179
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: of people he did. He didn't get his full recognition

180
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,119
Speaker 2: and you know, being in the being in the WWE

181
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: cycle as long as he was, he was mid carter

182
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: or lower, you know.

183
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: So, but and it makes I mean think like, ww

184
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: did they did they squander that? Because I mean you

185
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: saw how much potential a handful of matches that he

186
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: had in AW and it's like he could talk on

187
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: the mic, and Vince probably just was like, oh, he's

188
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: just some redneck yoka. We're not gonna let him talk.

189
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: But when you hear him in ADW, it's like the

190
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: mic skills are phenomenal.

191
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there was some you know, people were thinking

192
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: he was kind of I guess poking fun at Vince

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: or imitating him or whatever. But I didn't take it

194
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: that way. I mean, to me, it was just like

195
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: he had said it in an interview. It might have

196
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: actually been on Jericho's show, but I guess ww they

197
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: wanted him, they didn't want him to use his regular

198
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: voice or whatever. And so when he got over to

199
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: AW and he just was talking normally, everyone was kind

200
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: of like whoa. And so I didn't take it as

201
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: like he's copying Vince. I took it as like that's

202
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: how he talked, you know, that's how he's supposed to

203
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: sound and stuff. But but I mean, if nothing else,

204
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he definitely to me, when he joined up

205
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: with the Dark Order, that's really when it kind of

206
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: like started making sense to me. You know, like how

207
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: how I feel about Retribution is how I felt about

208
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: Dark Order when it started, Like this is garbage. It'll

209
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: be over in three months, you know, like there'll be jobbers.

210
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care, I don't care. And

211
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: then when he came on as the leader, and you know,

212
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: they got Anna j and kind of cold, I guess,

213
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, or you know.

214
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: John Silvera is probably the bright spot of Dark Order

215
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: right now.

216
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they've kind of brand It almost reminds

217
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: me of it almost reminds me of the Empire from

218
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Star Wars in the sense that you have or I

219
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: should say, you know, someone like Brodie Lee, who's kind

220
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: of like the Darth Vader. But then the other people

221
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,359
Speaker 2: in the Dark Order were kind of like the Stormtroopers,

222
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: and so you would have some some of it would

223
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: be kind of like comic relief, and you know, but

224
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: they could be menacing if they needed to be. So yeah,

225
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: it was kind of funny to see like the super

226
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: serious side of it, but then also kind of the

227
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: comic side of things too. But yeah, I mean, he

228
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: put he he made that group legitimate, at least to me.

229
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: And you know, like you said, I mean obviously another

230
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: talent that Vince squandered, and you know, it was, if

231
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: nothing else, it was just you know, a bittersweet that

232
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: he at least got some recognition this last year of

233
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: his life.

234
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, and you know, scrolling through social media, we

235
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: tried to retweet as much as possible and you know,

236
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: post some stuff. And I think the one that kind

237
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: of that stood out to me, which was actually kind

238
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: of a cool thing that Brody King actually tweeted about.

239
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: Brody and Brody was like, when I started wrestling, I

240
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: picked the name Brody not only for bruiser Brody, but

241
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: also because of Brody Lee. He was someone that truly

242
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: pushed the boundaries of a big man wrestler. Though I

243
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: never got to meet him, I looked up to him,

244
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: and not only as a wrestler, but also as a

245
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: family man.

246
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one, and then obviously the bray Wyatt one. Yeah,

247
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: we're both pretty uh, pretty hard. So yeah, I mean,

248
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: it's just I don't know. I think it was just

249
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: a combination of you know, obviously it's twenty twenty, so

250
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: of course, and then so close to the holidays. I

251
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: had a buddy from high school that passed away from

252
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: COVID the day before Thanksgiving, and I know his wife,

253
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: and you know, now she's a widow and they have

254
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: two kids, and it was just, you know, it was

255
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: kind of devastating to think about that that happened before Thanksgiving,

256
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: when you're supposed to be thankful and spending time with

257
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: your family and stuff, and they're having to think about

258
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: funeral arrangements, you know. Yeah, And and then also, like

259
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: we said, I mean, he was an act of wrestler.

260
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: It wasn't like, you know, I think that was the

261
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: The other guy that passed away Dan was Danny Hodge.

262
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: I think, yes, but he was like eighty one eighty

263
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: eight or I mean you know that that's kind of

264
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: typically when someone you know is supposed to pass away,

265
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: or you'd think about someone growing old and passing away.

266
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: So at forty one years old, I mean he was

267
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: that was half his life. I mean he still had

268
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: half a life to live, you know. So so yeah,

269
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: very very tough. I imagine next week's Dynamite's gonna be pretty emotional.

270
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: And because I think I think that's the one where

271
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: Brodie's son wins the title because it was like kind

272
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: of shot as like an ending, and they according to

273
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: the reports, either it's gonna they think it could be

274
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: on being the Elite or it could have been used

275
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: for excuse me, uh, the upcoming Dynamite show, because I

276
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: think they've taped the rest of the year, I believe, Yeah.

277
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: That makes sense. So that'll be pretty cool to see

278
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: whenever it does finally get released.

279
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, and it's you know, it's it's it's still

280
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: kind of a shocking thing and it just goes to

281
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: kind of show you like how big rest the wrestling

282
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: community is, and I know that we sit here and

283
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: we we the as we like to call I'm gonna

284
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: call it the i w C, the Internet Wrestling community.

285
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: You know, they're very vocal when it comes to certain

286
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: things when they don't like it, when they do like it.

287
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: But the wrestling community regardless, at the end of the day,

288
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all together, and it's like you look

289
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: at just the outpouring love that everybody had for Brodie Lee,

290
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: and it was it was kind of one of those

291
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: things like you know, they they they kind of did

292
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: go off on WWE because like aw reported it, but

293
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: then you know, it took almost maybe an hour for

294
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: WWE to post anything about Brody and of course fans

295
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: went after WWE. But it's like, you know, you gotta

296
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: let kind of the dust settle. And at the at

297
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: this point in time, it's not a oh, WWE sucks

298
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: because they haven't posted it. It was just, you know,

299
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: it's it's whatever, especially working in the media industry, you've

300
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: got stuff scheduled and whatnot. But I mean they could

301
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: have posted it out quicker than normal.

302
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was that was a head scratcher. But

303
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: you know, it is sticky because they did fire him,

304
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, and so it could have just been

305
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: a you know, they they might use the scheduler for

306
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: their posts, you know, like we we do from time

307
00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: to time.

308
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so the.

309
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: Person that was in charge of it might not have

310
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: been available, even though you can just do it from

311
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: your phone. So so, I mean, I wouldn't put it

312
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: past you know, I'm not surprised that that happened. I

313
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: also wouldn't have been surprised if they hadn't said anything

314
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: about it at all, you know.

315
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

316
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, so you know, obviously our hearts go out

317
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: to his wife and kids and and all the all

318
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: the people in aw he worked with, and yeah, it's

319
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: gonna be a it's gonna be a big hole to fill, for.

320
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: Sure, exactly. And uh, I was actually I saw this

321
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter just now and I'm trying to go back

322
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: to find it. But a guy, let's see, he actually

323
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: did a really interesting thing and he just posted this

324
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: out and it's uh John Alba, who is a big

325
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: sports guy, and he actually tweeted Tony Connie said Annual

326
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: Tournament determined the number one contender for the T and

327
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: T championship, the Brodie Lee Invitational.

328
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see them doing something to honor him, because

329
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: I think it was especially an active performer. But I

330
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: mean I think this was their first, you know, really

331
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: big loss as a as a company, and I know

332
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: Cody posted that. I guess technically he had his final

333
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: match with Cody. I guess that dog collar.

334
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: Match, which was phenomenal.

335
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's that's gonna be your last one,

336
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: I guess, you know. But I see them doing something,

337
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: you know, either a tournament in his name or a

338
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: tournament and then you win the Brodie Lee Trophy. You know.

339
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: I think they're going to do something to remember him,

340
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: for sure, But that would be a really cool idea,

341
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: especially since he was the second one to hold that title.

342
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, And of course, when we had Anna Jay

343
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: on she she was a few weeks ago, she was

344
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: very vocal about Brodie Lee and her how he helped

345
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: her through this character and the Dark Order and everything,

346
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: which you can go back and listen to that interview.

347
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, we kind of want to spend at the

348
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: first part of the show just kind of remembering Brodie Lee.

349
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: And I mean it's forty one years old and man,

350
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: just an amazing person. And of course as a father myself,

351
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: just seeing videos of people showing him at like having

352
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: his kids backstage and having him there with him, and

353
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: like you know that it's it's heartbreaking. And like you said,

354
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: our thoughts and condolences are out to Brodie's families and

355
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: loved ones, and you know, we're lucky to have the

356
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty run of Brodie Lee. He had a hell

357
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: of a run in aw and of course, like you said,

358
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: the last match being that dog collar match. When that happened,

359
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I was like glued to my

360
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: couch just watching that match.

361
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and this is no disrespect to broun Strumman,

362
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: but I mean I would have picked you know, if

363
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: you go back three or four years, you know I

364
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: would have picked Brodie Lee Luke Harper at the time.

365
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: I would have picked him to be in Brown Struman's spot,

366
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, I would have picked

367
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: him to be the breakout. Obviously not over Bray White,

368
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: but out of the other three from the Wye family,

369
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: I would have picked him to be the breakout. So

370
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: and then you know, he branched out into acting too.

371
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: He'd done some TV shows and you know, just a

372
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: well versed guy, and you know, unfortunately the bulk of

373
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: his career was spent with Vince, who underutilized him. And

374
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: you know, it's really unfortunate because I think the last

375
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: ten at least this last decade, maybe even further back

376
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: even to like the last fifteen years. I think the

377
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: way that WWE has just hoarded talent and then not

378
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: utilized them, I think that's gonna be. I think that's

379
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: gonna be up there with like the steroid scandal from

380
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: the nineties with Vince. I think it's gonna be. I

381
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be kind of an asterisk on his

382
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: record and his accomplishments and stuff, because I mean, you

383
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: just have so many incredible people like Brady Lee, like

384
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: we're discussing now obviously, who just never got the chance

385
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: to shine. And you know, if you're not in the

386
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 2: top five percent, you're not getting booked, you're not on TV.

387
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: And it's really unfortunate because they really have some incredible talent.

388
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: Most people will argue it's the best. You know, they

389
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: have the best roster on the planet if you screw

390
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: you know, going across all brands, and you know, The

391
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: amount of people that just don't even get looked at

392
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: or acknowledged is just really disappointing. So unfortunately, it takes

393
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: things like this to really put the microscope back on

394
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: events and them and be like, why don't you use Cizarrow,

395
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: Why don't you what did you do with Knockamore? Why

396
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: is Alistair Black not even in conversations? What are you

397
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 2: doing to Ricochet? Why don't you give Apollo cruise? I mean,

398
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: like the list goes on and on and on and on,

399
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 2: you know. So it's really unfortunate that we only got

400
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: basically part of you, i mean, half a year from him,

401
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, but that just shows you how how incredible

402
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: he was, that he you know, was able to make

403
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: the most out of such a small amount of time,

404
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: you know, in aw So, So anyways, we don't want

405
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: to have a full DeBie Downer. No, no, no, it's

406
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: it's been a it's been a rough week for Nashville

407
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: and now this and so uh yeah, I think you

408
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: said it. So we just we at least wanted to

409
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: acknowledge it. He was on our list of people we

410
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: wanted to talk to, and you know, especially after talking

411
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: to A. A. J. A. Couple months ago, and yeah,

412
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: it's just a really big loss.

413
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, so like you know, like like I just said,

414
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: we don't want to be a Debbie Downers the entire show.

415
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: We you know, we kind of wanted to address that

416
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: at the beginning, and now we're gonna kind of talk

417
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: about wrestling, and you know, I get paid to talk

418
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: for a living. That's part of my job. Hey, it's

419
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: battle And there's one thing that always is it's very

420
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: interesting when it comes to drinking water. Now, of course

421
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: I've got tattoos. I do a rock show and then

422
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: we do the wrestling show, and I don't need a

423
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: bottle of water with flowers or goldfish. I need something

424
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: that's going to reflect my inner rock star. Let me

425
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and tell you about the water that I

426
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: have found. I'm talking about lake with Death. Now you've

427
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: probably scrolled through Instagram and you've seen some of the

428
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: videos of liquid death, and now you're hearing me talking

429
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: about liquid death. And it's amazing because right now I'm parched,

430
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: and it just so happens that I have a can

431
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: of liquid death with me right now. So please hold

432
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: that for a second and let me grab a drink

433
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: real quick. Okay, Now let's talk some more about liquid death.

434
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: They're bringing death to plastic and the best part about

439
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: souls over to liquid death. That can't happen for me

440
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: because I'm a ginger, so I have no soul. But

441
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,200

Speaker 1: of course at all Whole Foods. You know, we haven't

447
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: had the chance to sit down and actually just kind

448
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: of talk about the elephant in the room, about the

449
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: whole aw an Impact, because we've just we've had guests

450
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: on ret Titus and a couple other people here over

451
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, so we kind of wanted

452
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: to sit down and you know, discuss the relationship sort

453
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: of with Impact and aw and how it's brought more

454
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: eyes to the brand, because it's what's surprising is that

455
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: they're sending Kenny Omega to Impact on Tuesday night when

456
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: they have aw Dark. And that was the first thought

457
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: in my mind was like, Okay, well, how is this

458
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: going to affect Dark if you're having people to watch

459
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: Impact on Tuesday nights?

460
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: But yeah, and then you have those commercials where just

461
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: Draight Berry, Oh, they're the best, which I think, I mean,

462
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 2: I know the way it traditionally works, and you do too.

463
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: I mean, like, if they're buying ads, they're buying ads

464
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: with Access, They're not buying ads with Impact, right, which

465
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: I guess technically the company owns both of those. But

466
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: I mean still, I mean, if if Aw's like here's

467
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 2: two hundred grand, we're going to run this episode this commercial, like,

468
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 2: who's going to turn that down? You know? So, and

469
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: I think it's ingest obviously, I mean, they they wouldn't have,

470
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: you know, they wouldn't have Don Callis coming over multiple times,

471
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: and then they would and send Kenny and Meg over

472
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: and now Kenny's wrestling on their pay per view, like

473
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: obviously they're they're working together. But it's just it's funny

474
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 2: that Tony and Tony are doing these commercials and just oh,

475
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 2: it's every chance they.

476
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: Can it is, I mean, and it's the best part

477
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: about these commercials is like there Tony, Tony is going

478
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: like Tony Khan is going full heel right now, and

479
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, people say that I want to

480
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: buy Impact Wrestling, and you know, I've got the money

481
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: I can. We're in Nashville, and I didn't realize Tony

482
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: Khan had a hand in the Virgin Hotel here in Nashville.

483
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: I learned that one of the promos that they cut.

484
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's it's funny because it's it's bringing

485
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: more eyes to Impact, which we all knew. Impact had

486
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: a great product, and they were smart with doing Twitch

487
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: on Tuesday nights, and they were very, very innovative when

488
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: it came to getting people access to watching Impact because

489
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: no offense. I mean, I couldn't tell you what channel

490
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: Access TV is on here in Nashville, Like, I don't

491
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: know what it would be.

492
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: I don't even think it's on my Actually I think

493
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: it is on my TV provider. Yeah, because the other night,

494
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: I think it's Christmas Eve was slipping through and they

495
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: were showing all kinds of like rock concerts, but I

496
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: don't I don't know if there's a channel number anything,

497
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: but yeah, but I mean yeah, I mean Twitch is

498
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: how I usually watch on Tuesday night. I just launched

499
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 2: the app, and that's how I've watched since they've moved Access.

500
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: And I think that was the smart move on IMPACT's

501
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: part is because we've had you know, several Impact wrestlers

502
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: on over the past, you know, several weeks, several months,

503
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: and they all kind of like echo it that having

504
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: the show on Twitch has been so beneficial for them

505
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: because you can watch it anytime you want. You don't

506
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: have to have Access TV. All you have to have

507
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: is a cell phone and access to Twitch, which is

508
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: a free app, and you know, you can comment as

509
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: things are going live, and it's it was kind of

510
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: funny watching the first night of Kenny Omega being an

511
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: Impact and the entire chat room, which you're just like,

512
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, AW fans, like we're here for AW blah

513
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, and then like poor Josh Matthews.

514
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: They kind of ripped Josh and some of them it's

515
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: like this is the this is your commentator. But you

516
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: know we've had Josh on the show. Awesome guy, and

517
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: it's just I just love the wrestling community when it

518
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: comes to stuff like that because they will be the

519
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: first to tell you if something sucks.

520
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess by extension with Josh, I guess

521
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: we'll send a congrats out to his wife, Medicine Range.

522
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: She initially the announcement where she was being taken off

523
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: the commentating team, so that was like, that's weird, but

524
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: now it's I mean, she's leaving Impact altogether. She went

525
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: back to school and finished her degree and so she's

526
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: got a job outside of pro wrestling. So has someone

527
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: who did that as an adult went back to school

528
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: later in life. I appreciate that. So congrats to that.

529
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's you know, it's it kind of reminds

530
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: me me and you have been kind of like our

531
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: our imagination has been kind of running wild with a

532
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: lot of this stuff. But it's, you know, it reminds

533
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: me of like the supercard stuff in the late eighties,

534
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: like the c WA, the aw A and w CCW

535
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: all joining forces and you know, they had the they

536
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: had a unification match and Jerry Lawler that he was

537
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: the unified World champion, and you know, I think it

538
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: was just maybe just a little too late because at

539
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: that point they had already you know, at that point,

540
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: they'd already had WrestleMania three. You know, We're Hogan slammed

541
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: Andre and ninety million people or whatever. So you know,

542
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: I think that's the I think they did the Supercard

543
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: the year after that, and it's just like you can't

544
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: compete with you know, ninety thousand people in a stadium

545
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: with all the pay per view byes and all the

546
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: media that's got Like, it was just too late, you know,

547
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: if they'd have got it in a year too earlier.

548
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: You know, there's really no telling what the landscape may

549
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: look like right now. But I don't know. I mean,

550
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 2: I think it'd be cool if there was like a

551
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: an organization that like companies could wrestle under the banner

552
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: and that way it would like not be like a

553
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: biased thing because yeah, you know, one of the big

554
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, like, yeah, I don't think we're going to

555
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: do an official like Best of twenty twenty. But you know,

556
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: one of the biggest moments of the year was when

557
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: thunder Rosa showed up on aw you know, and she

558
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: had the NBA belt, they referred to it, they used

559
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: it in sentences. I mean, it was but you know,

560
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: when she went to the AW pay per view, no

561
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: one on the planet assumed she was going to beat Sitah.

562
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: No.

563
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: But she did give her a run money right, and

564
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: it was a great matches, you know, probably one of

565
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: the five best women's matches of the year. But no

566
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: one assumed, you know. And it's the same thing like

567
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: if you know, say Impact, lets Sammy callahan come over

568
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: and challenge Cody for the TNT title or Darby for

569
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: the TNT title. I don't assume Sammy K. Callahan's gonna

570
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: win that belt. No, He's on an AW pay per view.

571
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: So if they had an organization like whatever, Pro Wrestling

572
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: International Congress, whatever, just something where it's like a neutral

573
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: ground and then all I mean, you can get GCW,

574
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: you can get NWA Ring of Honor like basically everyone

575
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: that's not WWE, and then do like a supercard once

576
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: a year, like a December kind of like Star Kate

577
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: used to be.

578
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: Or you have the American version of the g One

579
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,479
Speaker 1: and Gay.

580
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know any wrestling

581
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: fan that would not be freaking stoked about that.

582
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, imagine, imagine if they got all

583
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: these promotions to do it, like WrestleMania Weekend. I know

584
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Vince is trying to kibosh that, but just imagine if

585
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: that happened.

586
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: So, you know, I think at least since twenty seventeen,

587
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: Impacts really been on an upward swing. There's been some hiccups,

588
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 2: obviously the whole Tesla Blancher stuff, and you know, a

589
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: bunch of the what you know, people got released and stuff.

590
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: You know, we won't get into all of that, but

591
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: I mean, just from a talent standpoint, I mean, they've

592
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: been killing it, and you know, you do have some

593
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 2: big stuff happening. I know Ethan Page's contract expire. I

594
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 2: think like in the next couple of days, what he's

595
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: done with the North and then also focusing on his

596
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: you know, fitness and health and just getting in the

597
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: best shape he's ever been in. I mean, he's gonna

598
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: have offers, you know, and he could just stay with Impact.

599
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: You know, there's not to say he won't, but I

600
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 2: think it's like I think he's thirty one or thirty two.

601
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: I think, like if he's gonna make a move it's

602
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: probably now so, but I mean, you know, their rosters

603
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: freaking stacked, and it was almost like somebody was saying

604
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: when AW launched, it would have been incredible if Tony

605
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: Kanna just Impact and then added the Elite because a

606
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: lot of the heavy hitters, you know, the Lucher Brothers,

607
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 2: Lax Brian Cage. I mean, they had a lot of

608
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 2: people that were with Impact that are now you know,

609
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 2: kind of like main event people in a W. But

610
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 2: I mean I think that would have I mean that

611
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: that would have been that would have been incredible. But

612
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think it really hurts anyone. You know,

613
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: I think if if two companies have worked out a

614
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: way to do things together, you know, I don't, I don't.

615
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's nothing but positive really. I mean, it

616
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: helps grow the business, that it entertains fans potentially, you know,

617
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: opens up match opportunities no one ever thought you could see.

618
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just kind of like a win win

619
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: win with but I you know, I just have this

620
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: vision of like a supercard happening in the next five years,

621
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: and you kind of see it with GCW. To be honest,

622
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: they bring in I know, Rich Swan's wrestled for him.

623
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 2: He's the reigning Impact you know, world champion. Chris Bay

624
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 2: has been over there. I know the Rascals have wrestled

625
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: with him. I don't know if Brian Cage wrestled with him,

626
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: but I know he did. He did some stuff with

627
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: the Warrior Wrestling.

628
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think he was the champion because Brian Pillman

629
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: beat him for it, yeah or no, Yeah, and then

630
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: Trey beat Brian Pillman for the title.

631
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's so. It's definitely interesting. I guess I'm just

632
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: surprised that Kenny won because of interference from Callous. I

633
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: didn't think it was gonna be you know, kind of

634
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: that literal you know, like that on the nose, like

635
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: this Impact guy helped him in the world, you know.

636
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was gonna go that far. I

637
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: also didn't think that we would see this kind of

638
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: crossover this early into aw Yeah, because we're I guess,

639
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: in like less than a week, we're we're almost at

640
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: the two year anniversary of them announcing aw SO because

641
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: I think it was I think it was New Year's

642
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: Day twenty nineteen is when they formally announced it, and

643
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: then they did the press conference after that but so yeah,

644
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: I mean it's you know, kind of weird how it happened,

645
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: and you know, to me, it does seem a little soon,

646
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: but I mean I'm all for it.

647
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, kind of going back to what

648
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: you were talking about of like the Elite and all

649
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: of them being on Impact Wrestling. It was kind of

650
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: kind of like a slap on the face in a

651
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: way because I was watching this past week and they

652
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: had Kenny and Don doing a thing with Alex and

653
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: because I think Kenny's right sling Ray Phoenix this week

654
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: and Kenny was like, you know something about Ray always

655
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: being injured and blah blah blah, and Don was like, yeah,

656
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: we had uh Ray in an Impact. We much rather

657
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: liked his brother, because well, I don't think we'd ever

658
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: take Ray back to Impact because well we let him

659
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: go for a reason. Kind of kind of like a

660
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: backhanded slap comment in a way. And I was like, yikes,

661
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: like you know, but it's it's there.

662
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

663
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: That was when I when he said that, I was like, damn,

664
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: like that is brutal, Like Don Kallas is Don callous

665
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: And you know, kind of going you know back to

666
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: I guess a couple of months ago, I jumped on

667
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: the aw media call with Cody and we I asked

668
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: him about, is there a possibility of like kind of

669
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 1: like what you had mentioned, the clash of a champions

670
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of deal, whether it be with n w A

671
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And it seems like everybody we've had on

672
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: the show has wanted that, Like the Good Brothers have

673
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: wanted it, you know, FTR has wanted it. But Cody,

674
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: on the other hand, he was he was kind of like,

675
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want that. I don't think it's

676
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be happy to have people come over here,

677
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: but we're not going to have like a super show.

678
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: So I think I take that as like two things.

679
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 2: Either that could have literally like that could have been

680
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: just him being honest, you know, just you know, if

681
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: you ask me, are you hungry, Yes, I'm very hungry

682
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 2: right now, you know, like it just that's just what

683
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 2: popped out. But you know, he could have easily been

684
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: overridden too. You know, it could have been you know, him,

685
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: Kenny the Bucks and Tony and everyone wanted it except him.

686
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: So forgan's one kind of a deal. Also, you know,

687
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 2: I think Cody, I think he leans into k fab

688
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: more than I think people realize because you know, I

689
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: don't know if it was that call or it was

690
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: a different one, but he was also I think it

691
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: was that same one you were on, but he's like,

692
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: I'm not using Cody Roads in the ring. That's for

693
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: other things. And then the very next week he was

694
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: announced as Cody Roads. So you know, I think some

695
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 2: of it is the old you know, we got to

696
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: remember his dad's Dusty Roads, so I mean, you know,

697
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: I think some of it is him playing stuff safe

698
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: to you know, close to the chest and not announcing everything.

699
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a surprise because I think, you know,

700
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: when Kenny won the belt, I think that arguably the

701
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 2: most shocking thing was them saying them running out of

702
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: the arena like cool, catch us on Impact, like what me?

703
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: That was as shocking, if not more shocking than the

704
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: fact that he, you know, not only cheated to win,

705
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: but don Callus of Impact helped him cheat to win

706
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: and he won the world title from seemingly superman John Moxley. Yeah,

707
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 2: but so yeah, I uh, you know, and you know,

708
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: it could have been one of those where this was

709
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: Cody's plan from the jump, but he's just playing playing

710
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: you know, playing koy and not trying to throw all

711
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 2: the cards out at once or whatever. But yeah, I

712
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: you know, I think you you might have mentioned it,

713
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: but you know, I don't know why. I don't know

714
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: why Tony Kahan doesn't buy a w A, you know,

715
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 2: just if nothing else for the name and the lineage

716
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: and the footage you can get and the belts.

717
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: And all that stuff, and you keep it away from WWE.

718
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And it would be because if if they

719
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: made a move, you know, I mean, I'm not I'm

720
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 2: not trying to throw it out there anything. But with

721
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 2: the kind of resources the con family has, he could

722
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: buy Ring of Honor Impact and nw A by by

723
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: the end of next week.

724
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, And and I mean like they.

725
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 2: Would be like healthy deals. It wouldn't be like Vince

726
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: buying WCW for two million dollars. I mean he would

727
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 2: he would, you know, pay fair prices for it, and

728
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, right off the bat, you would you know,

729
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: triple the roster generally, and then you would also have

730
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: all of those video libraries that Vince wouldn't have, so

731
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: you kind of beat beat Vince at his own game there.

732
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: And if he did buy Impact. They already have the

733
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,919
Speaker 1: app and the Impact plus whatever that you could watch

734
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: stuff on yep, so the app's already there. You just

735
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: migrate all your aw content because there's a lot of

736
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: stuff you can get on there. I mean you could.

737
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: You could also put Being the Lead on there, and

738
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: I know they have the YouTube channel for that, but

739
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean you could also put that on there. You

740
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: could put the past pay per view.

741
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: Premium version of Being the Elite, you know, do a

742
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: ten minute free version in the fifteen minute versions if

743
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: you have the app or something, you know. Yeah, so,

744
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: and then you can put all the like the podcasts

745
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: that they're starting to do, mm hmm, just make them

746
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 2: videos instead of you know, I don't think they could

747
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 2: get Jericho's podcast because I think he's got I don't

748
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 2: know if he's on Westwood one.

749
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got He's got Westwood one and a couple

750
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: and Shirvanni's is on Westwood one, and so is Jim Ross's,

751
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: I believe.

752
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: So I guess the should the Shavanni and Aubrey one

753
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 2: that's just exclusively the a W one. Yeah, I guess

754
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 2: it's because I guess Conrad's got them, and then he

755
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: does the Westwood one one. So yeah, but but I

756
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: mean that's you can't do it. Yeah, I mean that's

757
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: not to say you can't do another show. You could

758
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: do keep the Jericho show the way it is, and

759
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: he just interviews non wrestlers, but then he creates an

760
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: a w one where he only talks to wrestlers, you know, right,

761
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 2: So I think there's a lot of potential there. But

762
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 2: you know, again, I'm not going to tell a billionaire

763
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: how to spend his money.

764
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: So now, but if you'd like to buy our podcast,

765
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: we're available.

766
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: I have about him, I gut. But yeah, I mean,

767
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: you know, he could spend I don't know what they'd

768
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: be asking for, but I mean he could spend fifty

769
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: to seventy five million dollars and buy all these groups

770
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: and their video libraries and all the contracts and everything,

771
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 2: and then you know, you don't really have to do

772
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: this whole. You can just make it an aw paper

773
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: if you don't have to do this like supercard thing

774
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: or something. No, So I don't know, I mean I

775
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: think it's it's just so it's so wild to me

776
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 2: to like see you know, like to us growing up,

777
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 2: it was situations like you know Rick Rude taping an

778
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: episode of Roll and then him leaving and then showing

779
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: up on the live Nitro and they are on the

780
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: same time, and that's kind of you know, that's one

781
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: of our big examples of you know, two people, you know,

782
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 2: some someone showing up on the same two different programs

783
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: or whatever. And so to see all these companies working together,

784
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 2: whether it's you know, Ring of Honor going to n

785
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 2: w A and w A going to Ring of Honor,

786
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: Impact the AW and w A and AW, I mean,

787
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 2: it's just it's just crazy to see all these companies

788
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 2: working together. And you know, I'm sure thumb and the note,

789
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: you know, thumbing the nose up at Vince is kind

790
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: of you know, icing on the cake. But I mean

791
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 2: it really is just for to make the best product possible,

792
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: you know.

793
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.

794
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 2: I definitely think this benefits everyone, you know, it does. Yeah,

795
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it puts more eyes on all the individual companies.

796
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 2: Obviously the audience is you know, they get the benefit

797
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 2: of all these dream matches and everything. So yeah, so

798
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: I think it's an interesting time for non WW companies.

799
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: And I don't know, twenty twenty one is gonna be wild.

800
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to see because hopefully with this

801
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: vaccine and everything, hopefully we'll get back to live shows.

802
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: I know that they're talking about concerts kind of slowly

803
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: trickling back in in spring, and they're going to kind

804
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: of see how things go. We'll probably not go in

805
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: Nashville because we're number one in the world of COVID cases.

806
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: But that's a different story and we're not talking about that.

807
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: But I think twenty twenty one is gonna be an

808
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: awesome year, especially for wrestling fans. And as I was

809
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: doing a little digging over here, I was trying to

810
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: figure out who owned Impact Wrestling, and it's Anthem Media Group.

811
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: They and this is an interesting thing. So they're based

812
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: out of Toronto, Canada, Ontario, Canada. Anthem Medium Group has

813
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: sixty total employees across all of its locations and generates

814
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: eleven point nine million dollars in sales. And there are

815
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: six companies in the Anthem Medium Group incorporate family. So

816
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: it makes you think, because it's a TV broadcasting station media,

817
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 1: I wonder if Tony would try to just either buy

818
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: them and just be like, we're gonna runt all the

819
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: you know, all the soccer games and AW and blah

820
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah on that. But I mean, like

821
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: you said, it wouldn't put it pass them to buy

822
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: because Tony, I don't see Tony being like Ted Turner

823
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: and being just buying up wrestlers and giving them, you know,

824
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: open check books and blank checks and just be like,

825
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: but whatever you want, Hogan, here you go. Because you know,

826
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: Tony and Cody have been very vocal that they're not

827
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: just signing anybody and everybody. They're like doing research and

828
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: even if they are a big name. Hence why Tessa

829
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: Blendra hasn't been there because there's a lot of controversy

830
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: behind her. But I mean if there wasn't controversy, could

831
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: you see her in AW Definitely you could see her there.

832
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was at all in in Chicago.

833
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah.

834
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: I mean if they bought Anthem, then they would own

835
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: access because Anthem boat bought access, and then I guess

836
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 2: they have stations in Canada, So if they don't show

837
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 2: a W in Canada, then that would obviously be an

838
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: instant access, no penitent to the Canadian market. So yeah,

839
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I don't know if it's

840
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: one of those. I don't know if Anthem would just

841
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: sell Impact by itself or they would try to do

842
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 2: a big deal or you know, if you want them,

843
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 2: you just kinda buy the whole company kind of it.

844
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like pocket change of the cons Oh, yeah,

845
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: for sure. Although I would be interested in and I

846
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: saw this on social like what happens if the Jaguars

847
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: ever win the Super Bowl? Like, do you think WW

848
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: will give them the w W Championship for the Super

849
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: Bowl winners of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

850
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: I don't think we have to worry about that happening,

851
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 2: but if it does, I mean, well, I mean I

852
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 2: hate to say it, but at this point that when

853
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 2: that happens, Vince will probably be long gone. So I

854
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: don't I don't see triple HB and that petty. I

855
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 2: think they I think they'd send them.

856
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they'd send them one.

857
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: But I don't think they've gotten close to the Super

858
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 2: Bowl since seven.

859
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: It's been a while. And I think they're gonna get

860
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: Trevor and now we're driving into the football world. I

861
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: think they'll get Trevor Lawrence with a number one pick

862
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,959
Speaker 1: because the Jets somehow screwed that up by winning a game.

863
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: But anyways, we're gonna get back to wrestling, so that

864
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: I guess it kind of does it for us. Of course,

865
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: this is a New Year's Week and we've got some

866
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: amazing guests that have been lined up for twenty twenty one,

867
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,320
Speaker 1: and of course some amazing guests this past year. You

869
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: could check out the Nick Alias interview. Speaking of good

870
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: old Nick Aldis, he actually joined a milestone again joining

871
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: the eight hundred club with the NWA and now he

872
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: is only eight of eight people that have reached eight

873
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: hundred days holding the NWA title. So congrats to Nick

874
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: Aldis on that. But you can check out that interview.

875

Speaker 1: You can check out with Mickey James.

Speaker 2: And a Jay.

877
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: Jack Knu Jack. Yes, that I keep that one right there,

878
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: That one right there was a very interesting interview. That

879
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 1: was one that I never would have thought we could

880
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: have got on this show. But definitely check out our

881
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: episode with new Jack. If you haven't checked it out,

882
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 1: definitely do yourself a favorite because there's some interesting stuff

883
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: in that one and he held literally nothing back.

884
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's so wild because like I think

885
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 2: our first interview this year was the New Japan with

886
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 2: Rocky Finley and Juice and and then when you know,

887
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: we got to go over to the event at World Memorial.

888
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: That feels like two years ago, it does, you know.

889
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it the other day because Rocky's

890
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 2: doing stuff with the Good Brothers and the Talking Shop

891
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: and all that, and I think he was the one

892
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 2: that confirmed that Adew's kind of talked to New Japan.

893
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: So so that was that was awesome. Obviously, we you know,

894
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 2: we had Seamus in the studio that was right before

895
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 2: everything kind of shut down, and then we were you know,

896
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,479
Speaker 2: we had the Good Brothers. I mean, we've been really lucky.

897
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: We've got some really big names. There's obviously a couple

898
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: more on our checklists we're dying to talk to. But

899
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 2: I was trying to think FTR.

900
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: James Storm, Cowboy, Oh Cowboy, which I think I'd like

901
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: to see him in a w I know he's a

902
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: free agent with n w A. Zicky Dice is a

903
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: free agent in a couple of days. So twenty twenty

904
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: one is gonna be a very interesting year for wrestlers.

905
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 2: So and I know everyone keeps talking about James Storm

906
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: was supposed to be an or WW this year. I

907
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 2: guess uh he was dropping the title the tag titles

908
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 2: earlier in the spring, and then with the COVID craft

909
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 2: that didn't happen, and they were bringing him into WWE.

910
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: I think it was like right after the rumble.

911
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that doesn't mean they won't bring him in

912
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 2: next year, you know, but I could also see AW

913
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 2: making a move toward, you know, bringing him into I mean,

914
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: it's always good to have good veterans that you know,

915
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 2: know how to work and put people over and stuff.

916
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, but yeah, so.

917
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 2: I don't have much else to say about twenty twenty.

918
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't either, So we're gonna wrap it up because

919
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: this is the final episode of twenty twenty and we've

920
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: had one hell of a year. We're looking forward to

921
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,640
