12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: and I'm Battle And there might be a little delay

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: or something because neither one of us are at the studios.

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: We are all doing this from our house at the

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: moment because for one, it was a short work week

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: for both of us, and number two, it's America's birthday.

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you have the option, well for me,

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 2: you know, do you want to drive thirty forty minutes

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: to the studio or do you want to do this

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: at home. I'm probably gonna pick it home. But yeah,

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: so it actually is July fifth. We are recording this

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: after the fourth. So, yeah, I had a little remembrance

23
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: of Lex Luger slamming Yo Kazuna.

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 3: Yes, had to put that in there.

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I always remember the Great American Bash, which

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: I don't think happened on the fourth. But Sting was

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: basically a walking American flag, so that was you know,

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: that came out and that was nineteen ninety, so it's

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: another kind of a fourth memory.

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: And I think the fun thing about it was like

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: the memes that came out yesterday of like the Sting

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: is like your friend, don't show up too patriotic to

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: the barbecue, and then it was like a photo of

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: Sting and yeah, uh who will forever be a meme

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: in our book when it comes to America?

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: Of course, of course.

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: Uh So let's just go ahead and jump right into it.

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: Normally we released the show on Friday at ten am,

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: but like we just said, we've been celebrating in short

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: work week and everything else, so we are recording this

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: on Friday, and as soon as this is done, it

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: is literally going up on the website. So let's just

43
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: go ahead and jump right into it. We're going to

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: recap fighter Fest from last weekend, so let's go.

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, aaw was a free event. Well it was free

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: to watch. Obviously, the tickets to the event weren't free,

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: but it wasn't a pay per view in the traditional sense,

48
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: so that was.

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 4: That was good.

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: There was a lot of people that complained about double

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: or nothing and the price, and you know, my reactions,

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: where were you the last twenty five years where you know,

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: you had to pay forty or fifty bucks every single

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: month for a pay per view?

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's one of those things that

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: people just have now gotten so accustomed to the network

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: being like ten bucks and you're getting all those pay

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: per views, and then all of a sudden, it's like

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: you got to pay fifty bucks for a wrestling paper

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: view and everybody's like, what hell.

61
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think it's going to be an adjustment.

62
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: I think for the least in the first two to

63
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: three years. I think the pay per view model is

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: really going to be a big source of revenue for

65
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: the company. So you know, I think I think if

66
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: they do this on a permanent basis, like they do

67
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: a big pay per view and then they do a

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: card that's free, you know, kind of spread it out

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: a little bit, and you know, I think that might

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: have a better reaction. But I'm also not running a

71
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 2: wrestling company.

72
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: So you know, we're just two guys talking about a

73
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: wrestling company, right I just like to talk about it,

74
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: all right, So let's go ahead, because I know that

75
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: you've kind of broken down the matches and given your

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: opinion on them, So let's let's go ahead and start

77
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: with the first match of the night.

78
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: All right.

79
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a triple tech team Private Party versus

80
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: SEU versus best Friends. So I think that Private Party

81
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: is going to be one of the biggest teams or

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: factions or stars or whatever in a w Mark Quinn

83
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: of Private Party is a freaking superstar, like right now,

84
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: I mean.

85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: I was.

86
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: I was just shocked at how athletic both those guys were.

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 2: I think they might have stolen the whole entire show.

88
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: And it's surprising that they were the very first match.

89
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: I thought all three teams had pretty good spots. You know,

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: it's when you kind of get outside of the WWE

91
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: bubble and you kind of look at a lot of

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: these international superstars. They don't have the exact same set,

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: move set for every single match. So you know, even

94
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: though we just saw a cu At double or nothing,

95
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: I mean, they were still doing a couple of little

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: different stuff and same thing with best Friends. So the

97
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: one thing I did kind of pay attention to is

98
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: that unlike the the the three man or the six

99
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: man tag at the end of the the card, Basically

100
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 2: the ref was keeping order throughout the match, so you

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: did have it. You know, the two legal men were

102
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: in there for the majority of the match, and you know,

103
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: they were kind of able to keep it balanced, and

104
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't really just a free for all.

105
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: So I'm surprised Private Party didn't win just because of

106
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: you know, it's almost like they're coming out party kind

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: of a deal. But I'm fine with the best friends

108
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: winning it. So I gave that one to B plus.

109
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: It was a really solid match. I'm not I'm not

110
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: a huge fan of multiple teams at once.

111
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: Usually attack team.

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: You know, two tag teams is all you need, so

113
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: I'm not the biggest fan of that format, but I

114
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: mean it was it was pretty solid.

115
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: It was a really good, uh you know, kick off

116
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: to the show.

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: And you know, it's it's one of the ones that

118
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: the match did have some big stipulation in it because

119
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: they got to they earned a buy in the tag

120
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: team tournament, and you know, you look at at it

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: and you know, SEU, it's like, do you really want

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 3: them to go ahead and win that buy in the

123
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: tournament or do you want to put them up because

124
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: I mean because Arian and Daniels and you know, and

125
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: uh Scorpio, they're they're great, and they're they're the kind

126
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: of team that puts somebody over when they need it right.

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: And I think it's at least to me, you know,

128
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: I think AW has to be careful that, you know,

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 2: the young Bucks aren't automatically the tag champs, and Cody's

130
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: not automatically the world champ or Kenny's not automatically the

131
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: world champ. You know, like they don't want to have

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: a perception. I mean you look at WWE that they

133
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: have that perception with Triple H. Triple H married the

134
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: boss's daughter and then boom, he was, you know, if

135
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: not the top guy, one of the top guys for

136
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: over a decade, you know, yeah, I mean he just

137
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: he was just world champ within the last year or two.

138
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: I mean, and he's in his forties, you know what

139
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 4: I mean.

140
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: So that to me was part of the reason I

141
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: was okay with Jericho going over Omega and then him

142
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: being set up to fight Hayman. Paige Hayman Page is

143
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: in the elite, but he's not one of the executive

144
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: vice Presidents, so it's a little bit, you know, there's

145
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: a little bit of space there. But yeah, I and

146
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: same thing with that SEU. They're they're part of that

147
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: core group, but again they're not they're not the set

148
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: of the e v P. So I think there's some

149
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: you know, some space there. But you know, Tony Kahn

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: was saying on the Steve Austin Show that they they're

151
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: really going to focus on the.

152
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: Tag team division.

153
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: And obviously a lot of people say the Young Bucks

154
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: are the best in the world, but I mean those

155
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: three that opened the card. I mean, if that's what

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: we have to look forward to, I think they might

157
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: have the premiere you know, tag team wrestling in the

158
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: near you know, for the foreseeable future, right.

159
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it's gonna be fun to watch everything as

160
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: it as an unfold. So let's let's go to the

161
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: next match. It was Ali's debut at ae W.

162
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I text you because I was like,

163
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: I was surprised that she didn't debut last double or nothing,

164
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: just because I mean, she is a recognizable name. You know,

165
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:34,479
Speaker 2: she was the women's champion Impact and when she departed,

166
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 2: she was still one of their top you know draws

167
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 2: or top faces, however you want to look at it.

168
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: So I was.

169
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: Again kind of surprised that she wasn't at the bigger

170
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: card of the two, but I was glad she premiered.

171
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 4: Here.

172
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: They've got this whole like different people have popped up

173
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: on being the elite, and they were the librarian, and

174
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: I guess they're gonna going to be two of them now,

175
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: Peter Avaline and then Leva Bates they're both the librarian.

176
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: It looks like they're gonna kind of position her as

177
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: a heel, which I guess makes sense. You know, as

178
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: soon as she hits the arena, she can do the

179
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: you know, and everyone's gonna be pissed off. So of

180
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: those two, Ali seemed just so much more polished than Leva.

181
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: To me, the match came off a little flat, Yea.

182
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: I think Ali carried a lot of that you know good.

183
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: I think the overall takeaway from this one is just

184
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: at ali debut, and I guess she's fighting Brandy Rhodes

185
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: at the next thing and fight for the fallen. So

186
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: that one I gave a C plus, you know, it

187
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: was I don't know, it was a little flat to

188
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: my you know, to my liking.

189
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, and that was one match that I didn't watch.

190
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: I just kind of skimmed over it.

191
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 4: Mh.

192
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: And uh, I mean I'll go back and walk again.

193
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: But I mean I've seen Ali perform, so I know

194
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: that hand down, she's gonna do a great job to

195
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: begin with.

196
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

197
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, if nothing else, they're still slowly

198
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: introducing the roster, so I mean, like, you know, setting

199
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: up leave against somebody like Ali, that's definitely a good

200
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, put her in the spotlight and they're in

201
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: a good way. Evidently the librarian gimmick was better in person,

202
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: so it didn't translate quite as well in on TV.

203
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: So we'll just have to kind of wait and see

204
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: how that develops.

205
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's gonna be fun to watch. And it's

206
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: like when we had Bricks Run and he kind of

207
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: talked about him doing the library and then going a

208
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: separate way, which, by the way, definitely go check out

209
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: that episode on past episodes if you haven't heard it yet.

210
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, so one match that when I finally got

211
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: home and tuned in, I got into the hardcore match

212
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: and I was like on paper in at it didn't

213
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: ring a bell when I first saw and I was like, okay,

214
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: cool hardcore match. And then once I started watching it,

215
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 3: I was like, this isn't really much of a hardcore match.

216
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I My note was this was the only

217
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: true hardcore match on the card because a lot of

218
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: people were kind of complaining about the Moxley Janella main event.

219
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: That was an unsanctioned match, so it is a little

220
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: bit different than a hardcore match.

221
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: This one was.

222
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: It's Michael Nakazawa versus Alex Jabailey. That one, quote unquote

223
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: was the hardcore match.

224
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. To me, this one was a time filler.

225
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: It was to me, it just seemed like, hey, let's

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: throw this together, and they were just trying to accent

227
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: the more of the comedic elements from Knacazaua, like with

228
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: the baby oil and all that. Obviously, Jim Cornett hates

229
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff, so he hated the match. He

230
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: had double nothing. I'm sure he hated this match. So

231
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: I gave this a D just because it wasn't really

232
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, it didn't really strike me as like

233
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: a real match. It was just kind of a you know, hey,

234
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: do this to be funny and whatever.

235
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: So oh man, very interesting match because after watching it

236
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: and the legos coming out and all the other stuff,

237
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: it's just kind of like, Okay, let's go to the

238
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: next match.

239
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think this one.

240
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: I was kind of I started losing interest and I

241
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: was eating my dinner, so I wasn't really paying attention

242
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: and kind of picked this one back up when the

243
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: card actually started.

244
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: Right, all right, what do we have for the next match?

245
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: So the next one, this was the actual start of

246
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 2: the card. It was Chris Daniels versus Sema. I think

247
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: I text this to you, but Daniels reminds me of

248
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: Sean Michaels when he came back to the WWE for

249
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: his second run. You know, he's just doing things that

250
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: most people at forty nine should not be able to do.

251
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: You know, he still tells a story, he still puts

252
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: people over when he needs to.

253
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 4: Believable.

254
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I everyone kind of assumed he

255
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: was retiring because of like the way everything went down

256
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: with Ring of Honor, But I mean he could go

257
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: another five or ten years, it looks like to me.

258
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: So this was kind of a continuation of the tag

259
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: match from Double or Nothing, it was SEU and then

260
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: whatever the group name is that Sema was in. So

261
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: that was kind of a good continuation of that. It

262
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: was a lot of good spots. Again, they're both incredible athletes.

263
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: I'm somewhat surprised that Sema won. No particular reason why.

264
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: I just assumed Daniels would win, just because he's more

265
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: of the name recognition. But I mean, pretty solid match,

266
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: especially to start a card. So I gave that one

267
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: a B plus.

268
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that you know, watching it, it was I

269
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 3: thought it was a really good match. And like you said,

270
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: Daniels is the guy that you can put up against anybody.

271
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: He's going to have a phenomenal match regardless of how

272
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: old he is, and he's going to be that guy

273
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: that's gonna help put that young talent over.

274
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

275
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: I mean he's kind of in that Sean Michaels you

276
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 2: know fabric or AJ styles.

277
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 4: You know, maybe they just have good matches with everyone.

278
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, and how and it's like when we went

279
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: and saw you know, SEU versus the Rock and Roll Express, uh,

280
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: several weeks ago at the Overdrive Wrestling event, Like you

281
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: could see that Daniels had like that limp, but it

282
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: still didn't affect the way the match was.

283
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, totally.

284
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: And I don't know if I've ever got like a

285
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: clear answer on what that is. If it's just like

286
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: a nagging thing or if he you know, if you

287
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: need surgery or he had surgery. Like I'm not sure

288
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: what officially that is. But yeah, if you if you

289
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: just looked at the match, I would not have guessed

290
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: that he was hurt or limping or whatever.

291
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: No, I mean you could look and it's, like I

292
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: pointed out to you in that text message when we

293
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: were texting about it, you could see like his one

294
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: of his knees is like heavily padded and he's got

295
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: a little giddy up in his step. But I mean,

296
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: there's nothing that we've seen out there that shows what's

297
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: going on. What's wrong? I, like you said, is he

298
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: gonna need surgery or what?

299
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

300
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: So so adding that to it, it was also surprising

301
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: just because of how good he performed.

302
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: It's supposedly heard or at least limping.

303
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, what's what's next? And this is

304
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: this is the I guess, the the second women's match

305
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: of the night.

306
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was the triple thread there. It was Rehoe

307
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: versus Nila Rose versus Yuka Zukasaki, so Nyla obviously besides

308
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: her the obvious implications, I think she's going to be

309
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: a pretty big star with AW. I think I even

310
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: text you this. She reminded me of a more more

311
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: skilled and more mobile version of Nijacks, So I think

312
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: she can play that, like you know, the big Bully roll.

313
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: Then she also just is more mobile and has I

314
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: don't know, better set you know, move sets or whatever.

315
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: The actual the actual match itself was kind of sloppy.

316
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: There were some you know, one of them jumped up

317
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: on the top rope and missed, you know, almost missed it,

318
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: and you know, just some couple of little things like that.

319
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: But I think that the actual spots themselves, and as

320
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: far as like the storytelling goes, it.

321
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 4: Was, you know, pretty sound. Rijo won the match.

322
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: I don't remember if there's any kind of implications to

323
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: this match, like if the winner wins somebody, they get something.

324
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't remember if they had that or not. But yeah,

325
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: I mean pretty solid. I gave it like a B minus.

326
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't spectacular, but you know, I think

327
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: there was enough there to to make it a decent match.

328
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was a really good match. And like

329
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 3: you said, I think the things that kind of stood

330
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: out was a couple of the miss cues and you know,

331
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 3: the one spot where she did kind of miss the

332
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 3: top row, but I mean recovered like a champ, you know,

333
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: on a couple of times that there were some some

334
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: botched moves. I mean they made up for it real quick.

335
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: And we could talk about another botch move that happened

336
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: in another match later in the card that still recovered miraculously.

337
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: And that's the thing with this group of wrestlers is

338
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 3: that if they do happen to miss something, they follow

339
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 3: up with something even bigger to make up for.

340
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: That miss, right, Yeah, And that's just you know I think,

341
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: I mean maybe even up until all out next month,

342
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: you know, I think this is still their coming out party.

343
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: So you know, I think some of this town and

344
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: hasn't really performed in fifteen twenty thousand seed arenas, and

345
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: you know, they haven't been on a I'm using the

346
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: word pay per view lightly, but you know, on a

347
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: pay per view where millions of people are watching. So

348
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: I mean some of it's gonna be nerves. Some of

349
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: it's gonna be just miscommunication. At the end of my review,

350
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 2: I'll say something about that. But anyways, but yeah, I mean,

351
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: you know, I it was still solid. You know, it

352
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: was just there's just a few little drawbacks, but I mean,

353
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: it's just the way it goes.

354
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Another interesting match took place right after this. It

355
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: was Hangman Page versus MJF, Jimmy Havoc and Jungle Boy.

356
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: Yep, so this one I have this one tied as

357
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: the best match on the card. My notes are, aw

358
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: did the smartest thing they could possibly do and give

359
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 2: MJF the MIC. So MJF is absolutely correct when he

360
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: says he's going to be the face of the company.

361
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 2: I mean, what he's doing at freaking twenty seven, twenty six,

362
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: twenty seven years old. It's one of those where it's

363
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: almost kind of like the whole Cogan thing where you know,

364
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: obviously Hull Cogan wasn't the best worker in the world,

365
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: but I.

366
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 4: Mean you couple what he could do with his.

367
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: MIC skills and that's what blew him out of the universe,

368
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: And same thing with the MGF. MJF obviously is a

369
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 2: much better worker than Hul Coogan. That might not have

370
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: been the best comparison, but I mean he is a

371
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: really good in in ring performer. You know, he may

372
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: not be like an AJ Styles level or anything like that,

373
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: but I mean he's really solid. But I mean his

374
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: mic skills, I mean he's in the top one percent

375
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, it's just it's unbelievable.

376
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 4: The match was. I think it was a good opportunity.

377
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: For all four of these guys to kind of show

378
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: off after the Battle Royal last month, that double or nothing,

379
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: so they all kind of had their own little spots

380
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. I think all four of these

381
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: guys are going to be, you know, really important parts of.

382
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: The roster, you know.

383
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 2: I think, uh, Jungle Boy can kind of do the

384
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 2: the Ray Mysterio you know, the smaller you know, build

385
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.

386
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: Jimmy Havoc, you know, he's more of the hardcore guy.

387
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: I think he can kind of blur the lines and

388
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 2: you know, he can do a straight match like this

389
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: and then also do the hardcore stuff. I was actually

390
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: kind of bummed at page one only because he's already

391
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: got a title shot next month. I think it's against Jericho,

392
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: So like I think that like if it's like say

393
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: mg F had won that match, like he would have

394
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 2: hung that over Hangman's head.

395
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 4: No, no pun intended.

396
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: So like that's I don't know, I mean, that's gonna

397
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: be a coin, you know what I mean. If you

398
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: if you listen to like stone Cold, he's you know,

399
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: he's super high on Hangman page. He thinks he's gonna

400
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: be a really big star. So I can't you know,

401
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: I can't blame him. Maybe it's one of those where

402
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: they let him win and then that kind of throws

403
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: off the fact that he's gonna lose next month or something,

404
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: you know. But but yeah, I gave this one an a.

405
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: I thought it was solid across the board.

406
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, and you could you could tell just by

407
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 3: kind of looking at certain stuff with a w that

408
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 3: these four guys they're very high on I mean that

409
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: they're posting they've been posting a lot recently of Jungle

410
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: Boy on their Instagram page. They'll post a photo of him,

411
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: or they'll post a photo of him and Lutrosaurus, and

412
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: so they're obviously high on him. And I don't think

413
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: it has anything to do with the fact that, you

414
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: know who his dad was. And what recently just happened

415
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: mm hmm, But yeah.

416
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was a solid match. Again.

417
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: I a lot of times these like multi people matches

418
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: and they kind of turned into free for alls, so.

419
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 4: You know, but this one I thought was done exactly

420
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: the way it needed to be done.

421
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 3: So oh man, it's the whole match itself, Like you said,

422
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 3: great stuff, and you know, it kind of makes you think, like,

423
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: and maybe this could be set up for a potential

424
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: weekly challenge, Like what would happen if you put MJF

425
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: in his prime, which is right now against Piper in

426
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 3: his prime? Just imagine?

427
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: Yeah that, Uh, I think we talked about that that

428
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: might be the next weekly challenge. Yeah, because I mean

429
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: you have two you know, they're known more for their

430
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: mic skills than their in work. And that's not to

431
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: take anything away from your in work, but their mic

432
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: skills are just on another level. So yeah, that one

433
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: would be That would be an incredible dream matchup.

434
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: I think, I mean, that would be a phenomenal match.

435
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 3: And probably if somebody from WW is listening to this,

436
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 3: they're probably gonna be like, oh, let's put this in

437
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 3: our thing for next month or whenever they try to

438
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 3: sign MJF because you know they're going to eventually try

439
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: to pry him away from AE. It's only a matter

440
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: of time.

441
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

442
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny that you know, if you go back

443
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: and listen to the Joey Janella when he was on

444
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: the Steve Austin Show, this was maybe last year.

445
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was last year.

446
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: I think it was around Mania or right after Mania,

447
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: because they were talking about spring break, which was wrestlming

448
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: the weekend. I mean, he said his goal is WWE.

449
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: You know, he's like, that's andy. There's a little documentary

450
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: on YouTube called Don't Die Joey Janella.

451
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 4: It's like forty minutes long.

452
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: And in his in his room, he's so has all

453
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 2: ww stuff, posters and toys and just all kinds of stuff.

454
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 4: So for a lot of those guys, that was the goal.

455
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: But now you have a clear number two alternative that's

456
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: probably paying. I imagine they're probably making more at ad

457
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: W than they would starting out at WWE. So's it's

458
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: kind of curious to see if these guys are still,

459
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: you know, in three to five years, if they're going

460
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 2: to jump ship and go to WWE, or you know,

461
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: if they're gonna stay here and and really try to

462
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: build up this brand.

463
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's interesting, we'll see.

464
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah it should, and I mean it just gets more

465
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: and more exciting every day because you never know who

466
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: AW is gonna post and say just sign with a

467
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: W and then you know, and one one person who

468
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: is going to have a bright future has got to

469
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 3: be Darby Allen. I mean just think of that match

470
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: him and Cody.

471
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the next one on the card. So

472
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: Marco Stunt last year just blew up in like a

473
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: thirty to sixty day period, and I equated that to Darby,

474
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: Like Darby has had a crazy thirty days. He he

475
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: wrestled John Moxley. That was the one where Moxley tied

476
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 2: his hands behind his back, but Darby was still like,

477
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: you know, jumping off the second rope and doing court

478
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 2: screws and then he did like suicide dive through the

479
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: ropes and just you know, it went viral. You know,

480
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he really the attention really kind of turned

481
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 2: on him. And then he gets this match with Cody,

482
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 2: solid match. I thought it was cool the way they

483
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: ended it and time limit draw. That just kind of

484
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: shows that like he's you know, he's an equal pairing

485
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 2: with Cody. It wasn't just a squash match. He had

486
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: a couple like crazy spots in the in the match.

487
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: Uh.

488
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: And then of course everyone talked about the former Tie

489
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: Dillinger mister Shelton. Sean Spears came out with the chair shot,

490
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: you know, obviously leveled Cody. He had to get staples.

491
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: He turned heel on the process. So yeah, so, I mean, like,

492
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing with Cody is I mean,

493
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: he's really turning into a storyteller. You know, he's really

494
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: turning into you know, the Dusty Roads. I mean, I

495
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: hate to use that comparison, but the Dusty Roads of

496
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: this generation or the rig Flair, where you know, the

497
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 2: story is just as important as the moves and all

498
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. And you know, he took that

499
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: unprotected chair shot to further the story and really cement

500
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: Spears as a heel and all that. So so yeah,

501
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: so I gave you that one an a minus, not

502
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: quite an A or an A plus, but I you know,

503
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: gave an A minus a really solid match, and really

504
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: that was kind of just a it was a fatigue

505
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: from the Cody Dustin match last month.

506
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 4: I mean that was just.

507
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: Twenty stars, you know, so it was really kind of

508
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: hard to come down from that. But I mean they

509
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: they executed. It was a really good match.

510
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like you said, I mean Darby hitting those

511
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 3: like several big spots. And I think the one thing

512
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: that stood out to me and a lot of people.

513
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: He took some of that video and there's a guy

514
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: that's on YouTube that I went down a rabbit hole

515
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: and I guess he's like superhuman. I don't know what

516
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: his YouTube name is, but he does all these wrestling

517
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: stuff and he does like for the jigglos and jigglets.

518
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: But anyways, the spot where Darby jumps off the top

519
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: rope just back on the apron, Like, that's the one

520
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: thing that stood out to me in that match is

521
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: this kid has, you know, no concern for his body

522
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: and he's gonna go lay it all out on the

523
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: line and give you everything he's got.

524
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he like did something with the.

525
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: Like he's he's stood on the back of the turnbuckle

526
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: or something like he didn't just stand on the top rope.

527
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: He kind of got on the back of it or something,

528
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: and then he just kind of turned and you know,

529
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: Cody moved obviously, and he landed just And of course

530
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: if you watched WW, you know that that's the hardest

531
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 2: part of the ring. That's that's one of Michael Cole's

532
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: favorite things to say. So, but yeah, it was I

533
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: was not expecting that.

534
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 4: At all. No, not at all.

535
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: But I think the crazy thing is just that's something.

536
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: I mean, he's like twenty two years old or something.

537
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's just crazy how Aw's found

538
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: all these like young kids that are just like on

539
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: another planet, you know.

540
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that match was ridiculous, and you know,

541
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: Cody just taking that unprotected chair shot like it was nothing.

542
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: And you know, me and you went back and forth

543
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: texting about it, trying to figure out where Cody bladed himself.

544
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 3: But I mean it was just it looked rough watching

545
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: it on replay from multiple angles.

546
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I guess I guess we were wrong.

547
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: I guess he didn't blade himself. They released that picture

548
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: and evidently the chair was a gimmick chair, but the

549
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: way that he hit him, his head went like between

550
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: the back, so the back of the chair is what

551
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: scraped his head, and you know, really did a lot

552
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: of damage. So so if you if you listen to Tony Kahan,

553
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: he's he's not a fan of like that stuff. He

554
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: doesn't like the death matches and he doesn't like that

555
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: like unprotected chair shots. And I think he even mentioned

556
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: something this week about they're not going to do like

557
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: intergender fighting, which you know some people have various various

558
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: opinions about. So I think that kind of stuff is

559
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: gonna be few and far between, especially for one of

560
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: the vice presidents.

561
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: But you know, like I.

562
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: Said, it definitely put Sewn spears over. I mean, he's

563
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: he's gonna be a monster heeling now.

564
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, and it's I can't wait to see the

565
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: storyline that's gonna play out because I mean, I'm pretty

566
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: sure that that's gonna set up him and Cody, and

567
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: it could be one of those I don't ty Dillinger,

568
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: if I remember correctly, he was he coming up in

569
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: NXT when Cody was a big name in WWE.

570
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he I don't know when they crossed the

571
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: paths and then maybe one of those where you know,

572
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: all the NXT people know all the main roster people

573
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: or whatever. But I don't think they're in nx T

574
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 2: at the same time, but they their friends somehow, so

575
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: they must have he must have went to the performance center.

576
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: I don't know whatever. So and I think you and

577
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 4: I have talked.

578
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I wasn't the biggest Tai DYLLINGR fan. Whenever

579
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: NXT came to town, everyone is doing the ten ten

580
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: ten thing, and I was like, okay, that's kind of cool.

581
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: And then he came out and you know, didn't blow

582
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: me away or anything. And then he got called up.

583
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: And I mean I only saw him wrestle on TV

584
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: like two or three times, Like I don't know, I

585
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: don't know why they called him up, But anyways, he

586
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: does get to go home to Peyton Royce every night.

587
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: Well there's that there, yeah.

588
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: I mean, like that one, that one thing just having

589
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: him chair shot Cody.

590
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's all it took.

591
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, well we'll be curious to see how they

592
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: use him in that company.

593
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 3: So all right, we're almost closing down to the final

594
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 3: stretch of the review of this, so let's see Matt Jackson,

595
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: Nick Jackson, and then of course their surprise partner Kenny

596
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: Omega taking on the Luca Brothers and Laredo Kid. The

597
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 3: one thing I liked. Was not only the fact of

598
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: the the outfit choosing for the guys, was the fact

599
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: that once again there was a little hint of a

600
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: shot at WWE with the guy running up right before

601
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: they brought Omega out and doing what back in the

602
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: day did that they had some guy do in front

603
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: of Batista if you remember that.

604
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and me and you were talking about it. We

605
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: couldn't tell if it was real or not. And it

606
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: was real. I mean the security would have tackled him instantly.

607
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: They wouldn't have like turned the lights off, and then

608
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: he's laying down stuff. So but yeah, I didn't actually

609
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: know that it was a dig, you know, or playful

610
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: dig or whatever until you and I have talked about it.

611
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, that was that was pretty interesting.

612
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: And I kind of want to see because you know

613
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: that there's gonna be these subtle little shots that they're

614
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 3: going to fire back and forth between each other. I mean, yeah,

615
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 3: you look at even though Cody said it wasn't a

616
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 3: dig at Triple H. We all know the skull and

617
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 3: the throne, and I mean we all knew it was

618
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: a dig at Triple H.

619
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

620
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's it's funny because if you you know,

621
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: most of these guys, it sounds like they were a

622
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: bigger WCW fans than they were you know, WWE, and

623
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: they talk about you know.

624
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: Whatever.

625
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: Tony conn was on Steve Austin Show and they talked

626
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: about war games from like ninety three Stings Squadron against

627
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: whoever it was, and Dustin Rhodes was on Sting's team,

628
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: and you know, they remember specific things about it, and

629
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: it seems like they're more WCW prone. So it's just

630
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: kind of funny that they're kind of going after WWE

631
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: when they're not really I don't know. They keep saying

632
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: they're not competing with them, and I get it, but

633
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: it's I don't know, I think they'll keep chabbing at

634
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: each other.

635
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 3: So and you know, speaking of WCW, it's a very

636
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: interesting thing. When I was sitting there watching and the

637
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: one person that stood out after they walked Cody back

638
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: after his chair shot and I know we're going back,

639
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: was Dean Malinko was right there like carrying him back.

640
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 4: Yeah.

641
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's weird because MJF was the first guy

642
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: out there, and they're kind of blurring the lines because

643
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: on paper, you know, Cody quote unquote is a heel,

644
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: but he always it's cheered, you know, and MGF is

645
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: a heel, but he also gets a lot of cheers.

646
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: And then you had Sean Spears who did that to

647
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: Cody and that made him a heel. But then it's like, well,

648
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: how many heels are in this equation, you know, like

649
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: it's kind of but but yeah, Deananlinko, I think that's

650
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: the humongous get for them. I think eventually, unless arn

651
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: Anderson they patch up the bridge with w W, I

652
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if he's an a W soon. So

653
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: they've definitely got that w c W connection I think

654
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 2: from there. But but yeah, going back to the tag team,

655
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: so this was there was a similar match with like

656
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: this at p w G last year. It was just

657
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 2: Ity didn't have a Laredo and at somebody else. So

658
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: it was the Young Bucks and Omega against Lucher brothers

659
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: and whoever.

660
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 3: That was.

661
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 4: Like you said, the street Fighter gear was incredible.

662
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: They had a lot of awesome spots obviously, but one

663
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: of them basically got tossed over the rope and then

664
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: over the post to the outside, and that was insane.

665
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think I've seen anything like

666
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: that before. Sadly, I might get might get some heat

667
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: for this. I have to agree with j R. He said,

668
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: it was really hard to keep up with who was

669
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 2: legal in the match. It seemed like the normal rules

670
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: of Tech Team did not apply, and and it did

671
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 2: appear just to be a spot fest. A lot of

672
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 2: people call the Young Bucks spot monkeys, and you know

673
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: that stuff.

674
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 4: It was. I mean, it was an amazing spot fest.

675
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: I mean, like I just told you the over the

676
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: rope post thing was insane, but it was it did

677
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 2: feel like a spot fest. Nonetheless, I mean there'd be

678
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: three and four and five people in the ring at

679
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: one time, and the ref is just standing there.

680
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it was like because like when they first

681
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: started the match, it was like it seemed like everything

682
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 3: was in control, and then all of a sudden, when

683
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 3: all three of them got in, that was when just

684
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 3: kind of everything went out the window.

685
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: And and and that's that's a that's a criticism that

686
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: the Bucks have had and they are going to continue

687
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: to have throughout their career.

688
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: That's just you know, they're not really wrestling matches.

689
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 2: They're just setting up these spots, and that's all they're doing,

690
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 2: They're just doing these spots over and over and over,

691
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: and unfortunately, I don't think that the the I don't

692
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: think these kind of matches are going to contribute to

693
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: the long term success of the tag division. I mean,

694
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: I think they are going to have to have tried

695
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 2: and true, structured tag matches in order for it to succeed.

696
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: So I unfortunately I gave this one a C plus.

697
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it was it was a good match, but

698
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: when you break, you know, when you take away the

699
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: rules of rest of pro wrestling, and you know, you're

700
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: just kind of thrown that by the wayside. Just to

701
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: have all these spots that are you know, flippy and

702
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 2: all that stuff, I mean, I think it does take

703
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: away from it unfortunately, So you know, compared to a

704
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: match like the very first tag match, compared to that one,

705
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just they're just different beast altogether.

706
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 4: So I didn't hate it.

707
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: I just again, I I hate to agree with all

708
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: the people that aren't young Buck fans, but it did

709
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: just kind of come off as like a spot.

710
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 4: Fest to me.

711
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 3: And you know, there was there was one moment in

712
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: the match that completely shocked you. And I texted you

713
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: and I will definitely probably get so much heat for this,

714
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 3: but that was the very first time I ever saw

715
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 3: Kenny Omega wrestle.

716
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean it's nobody's fault. I mean, I

717
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: think that's part of the you know, I think that's

718
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: part of the allure of this company now, is that.

719
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 4: You know.

720
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: I think even if you're not a you know, I

721
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 2: don't know if you and I are hardcore wrestling fans,

722
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 2: but we watch it on a regular basis. But it's

723
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: not like we watch every single thing that it's out there,

724
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: you know. But even if you're not a casual watcher

725
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: or hardcore watcher or whatever, I think most people know

726
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 2: who Kenny Omega is by now. You know, you've heard

727
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: the name, you know he's in Bullet Club, whatever. So

728
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: whether or not you've seen him or not, you know,

729
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 2: you at least you're familiar with him. So I think

730
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: that's a lot of you know, especially like with all

731
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 2: out or all in, all out and double or nothing.

732
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: I think a lot of this is like just getting

733
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: these people introduced to American audiences, because I'm not sure

734
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: how many people that had heard of him went out

735
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: and looked for the new japan stuff and some of

736
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 2: the indie.

737
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 3: Stuff, you know, right, and it is a really great match,

738
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: and you kind of figured when you're sitting there watching it,

739
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, we're pretty much know who's going to

740
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: win the match, and you know, with Omega and the

741
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 3: Young Bucks getting the win and Omega getting the pen

742
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: at the end, it's it's I guess, I don't want

743
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 3: to say it's something that sets them up since the

744
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 3: Young Bucks lost to the Lucha Bros. Last time, right,

745
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 3: but it definitely was a good match. And then I

746
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 3: do like the aspect of when Justin Roberts came out

747
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 3: and did the whole spill of the lights are about

748
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: to go off. When they go off, now we're setting

749
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 3: up for the final match of the night, and he

750
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 3: was like, the lights go off, that means the show's

751
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: officially over. But when the lights come on, there's one

752
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 3: more match or whatever. But you know, with it being

753
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 3: a non sanctioned match, what threw me off was the

754
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: fact that there was still a referee out there.

755
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, And.

756
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 2: I don't know, I guess it's like they had to

757
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 2: give the illusion of like they had to have somebody

758
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: out there to protect the wrestlers or something. I don't know,

759
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: but yeah, so that was John Moxley versus Joey Janella

760
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: in an unsanctioned match, which for those that don't know

761
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: that is different than a hardcore match, not an official

762
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: like Moxley won, but it's not going to be an

763
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: official win in his record book or whatever. So yeah,

764
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: so it's it's it's it's just crazy to see Joey

765
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: Janilla in this position after you know, he's really grown

766
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: to being like one of the king of the Indies.

767
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 2: I've seen him here in Nashville. I as saw him

768
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 2: at spring Break last year in New Orleans.

769
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 4: I actually saw him twice in Nashville.

770
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: They did the Dojo pro thing for the Ring of Honor,

771
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: and I went to one of the tapings and he

772
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: was there. But yeah, I mean, obviously they both had

773
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 2: crazy spots. It's funny someone did a meme of the

774
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: Rollins quote about Loxley couldn't cut it and he took

775
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 2: his ball and went home, and then it's just a

776
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 2: picture of him getting thrown into the table with barbed

777
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: wire and it's like, yeah, he probably did more in

778
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: that one match than he did in six months at

779
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: ww's the Janella off the ladder, which he has done before,

780
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: but I mean that got a huge pop. Obviously, Moxley

781
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: getting the thumbtacks out that probably had the biggest reaction

782
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 2: of the whole night. And once once you start taking

783
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 2: Janella's shoes off, you're like, oh shit, and so so

784
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: yeah win from Oxley. Then Omega comes out, gives a

785
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 2: little payback from Double or Nothing, sets up all out

786
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: contest a little bit more.

787
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 4: I thought it was a solid end of the show.

788
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge hardcore guy, which again this is

789
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: more unsanctioned, but I'm not a huge deathmatch kind of guy.

790
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: Those two are obviously that's their background. But I gave

791
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 2: it ah. I gave it that one an A as well.

792
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 2: I had that one tied with the four way with

793
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 2: m JF and Page and Havoc and Jungle Boy, so

794
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 2: I thought that one was a little bit better than

795
00:41:54,400 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: the Darby Allnch versus Cody match. My final thought on it. Overall,

796
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: I gave the whole pay per view a B minus.

797
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 2: It's probably still better than any WW pay per view

798
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: I've seen in the last two years, which I mean

799
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: that might be shots fired, but I mean it is.

800
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: I've actually been to some of the pay per views,

801
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: and I mean this one, even this one which was

802
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: a free one, almost like a throwaway, it was still

803
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: better than any of the reviews I've seen in at

804
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 2: least two years.

805
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 4: It wasn't quite to the same level its double or nothing.

806
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: So you know, if they carry on with this, you know,

807
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 2: an actual pay per view that you buy and then

808
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: a free one, you might see.

809
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 4: The quality drop a little bit on the free ones.

810
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 2: But Fight for the fallens in a few weeks and

811
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: then we're a month out from all out, so it

812
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: be interesting to see how they keep the momentum going

813
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: and they kind of like further some of these storylines

814
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: and tie in some some things that they've got out

815
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: there right now.

816
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like you said, overall right there with you,

817
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: I give it about a B. But you know, like

818
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 3: you said, it has been probably the best wrestling product

819
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 3: that I've seen in months after watching all the w

820
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 3: W pay per views in WrestleMania, and it's just you

821
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 3: could tell that the people at a W are putting

822
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 3: their heart and soul into this and you know, giving

823
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: the people what they want, and they're not gonna you know,

824
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 3: bullshit you with gimmicks and storylines, and you know, like

825
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 3: Ken Shamrocks said a couple of weeks ago, you know,

826
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 3: they're not They're going to give you real wrestling. They're

827
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: not going to give you somebody running around backstage with

828
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 3: a belt trying to hide and dress as a woman.

829
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I you know, I think so far, I mean,

830
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: we're too you know, two pay per views in and.

831
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 4: I mean it's just it's growing, you know.

832
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: I mean it was a trending you know, topic on

833
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: Twitter when this air and you know, obviously pro Restentees

834
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 2: has kind of turned into their own personal store. But

835
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, all the aw stuff is pretty

836
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: much the top selling stuff on their website. And I think,

837
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: you know, I think they hit it on the head

838
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 2: that they're you know, there's people that want something different,

839
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: and I mean it this is definitely not WB. I

840
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: mean I've I've I've been more entertained with these two

841
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 2: shows than I've been with w W in a long time.

842
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 2: And when I went when I talked about WDV, I

843
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 2: don't include n x T obviously, just because that's that's

844
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 2: their best product.

845
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 4: But it's not a it's you know, it's not a

846
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 4: weekly thing.

847
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: Well it technically is, but they tape it in advance,

848
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: so it's not a live weekly thing, kind of like

849
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 2: Raw and SmackDown is. So so yeah, it'll be interesting.

850
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: I guess this kind of ties into the next thing

851
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about. But this week on Raw

852
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: and SmackDown, you kind of started seeing some of the

853
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: PG their elements being pulled away and kind of heading

854
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: more towards the Attitude.

855
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 3: Era, right, And then you know, last week they made

856
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 3: the big announcement about Paul Hayman and Eric Bischoff coming back,

857
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 3: And I was looking at this article right now on

858
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 3: Forbes and they said that Monday Night, Monday Night's edition

859
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 3: of Rawl saw an impressive ten percent boost in viewership

860
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: after the announcement of Paul Hayman.

861
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.

862
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's there's there's obviously, like conflicting reports.

863
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 4: I read that.

864
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 2: Right after they got announced that they're not going to

865
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: be in charge for a while, that it's going to

866
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 2: be an easy end process. But I mean, RALL felt

867
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: like a whole completely different show, you know. The you know,

868
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: I mean you've kind of seen things like that before,

869
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: like Bronze Strowman spearing Bobby Lashley through the LED screen,

870
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: but Corey Graves dropping the as bomb. I don't think

871
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: that was an accident. And you know later on either

872
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 2: I don't remember if it was a Raw oral smack down,

873
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 2: but Kovee flipping off some ojo and.

874
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 4: You know, you're definitely getting more of an edge.

875
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 3: And the one the thing that I thought funny was

876
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 3: about that was when they showed Kofe flipping off some mojo,

877
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 3: the screen went black for like all of like two

878
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 3: or three seconds and then came back.

879
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 4: M Yeah, I didn't see that, but it's.

880
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 3: It's interesting, like reading reading more into this article that

881
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: Forbes did, they were talking about, uh, some things that

882
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 3: you could find from Raw that had Hayman's hands on.

883
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: It was Maria announcing that she's pregnant, so there's that

884
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 3: storyline like he did with Beula and E c W.

885
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 3: And then they also talk about the in this art

886
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 3: the prominent exploitation of black stereotypes with their all debut

887
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 3: of the street profits like the gangsters in E c W.

888
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I I I think even text you about this,

889
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 2: like I have no idea what they're doing, Like why

890
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: would you give the street profits the NXT titles if

891
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 2: you're just gonna call them up like a month or

892
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 2: two later, Like, I don't understand, because they just had

893
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: this with the war Raiders. Yeah, and when they got

894
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 2: called up, which I don't know.

895
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 4: I don't even know where they're at. I haven't seen

896
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 4: them since they debuted.

897
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: They are I think they wrestled maybe Monday night or

898
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 3: Tuesday night and I want to say, oh somebody or

899
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 3: maybe in the New Day.

900
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I mean it's just so I couldn't

901
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 2: tell if they were officially called up, and if they were,

902
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 2: why did they have the NXT belts with them, because

903
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 2: they're obviously not going to bring those with them, So.

904
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

905
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: That was kind of a head scratcher. But I mean

906
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: a lot of what WW does as a head scratcher.

907
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 4: So but.

908
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: I mean it's one of those like I don't want

909
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 2: WW to fail, but you know, maybe they're declining ratings

910
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: plus new competition. I mean, maybe they just needed a

911
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: kick in the butt to you know, start bringing in more.

912
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 2: You know, the PG stuff is not for everybody, especially

913
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 2: with the people that have grown up watching it, and

914
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 2: we've seen mankind thrown off a cage and you know,

915
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 2: I mean we're used to the edge of your stuff,

916
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: so you know, turning it into Disney World is not.

917
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 3: Going to be for everybody, you know, Yeah, And I

918
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 3: think that's you know, I was watching I figure was

919
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 3: yesterday on YouTube. Maybe it was TMC or somebody. They

920
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 3: were talking to stephan and man as she left than

921
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 3: they were talking to her about what she thinks about

922
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 3: XFL blah blah blah, and then the guy like just

923
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: straight out asked her what does she think about AW

924
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: and she didn't give the corporate response. She was like,

925
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 3: you know, I hope that they do well. There's a

926
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 3: lot of great people over there. And she was like

927
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 3: giving them high praise. And the guy was like, are

928
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 3: you excited that there's more competition or what She's like, No,

929
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 3: she basically said what you want to hear of. You know,

930
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 3: having them there gives people more access to wrestling and

931
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: not just one product. And it was kind of a

932
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 3: shocking thing that Stephanie said that when you know, being

933
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 3: a McMahon and WWE, but it's I don't think it's

934
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 3: one of those ones where they're going to try to

935
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 3: take them down because it's giving them a different I mean,

936
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 3: wrestling is a wide variety now that you can get

937
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 3: wrestling in so many different forms and it's not just

938
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 3: WWE like it was in the nineties.

939
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's gonna be one of

940
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 2: those you know, they they can't really.

941
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 4: Ignore them, you know. I mean, it's it's just one.

942
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 2: Of those where they're the hot item right now, and

943
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: so there's so many people talking about them and you

944
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 2: know whatever. So I think it would be one of those,

945
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: you know, they I think they have to acknowledge them,

946
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 2: you know. I don't think it's going to be smart

947
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 2: to just keep on ignoring them and stuff.

948
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 4: But I mean, she's absolutely right.

949
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the reason that WWE got to

950
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 2: the level that they got to is because the WCW

951
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: got hot.

952
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 4: You know.

953
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 2: And if w CW hadn't got hot and everything had

954
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: stayed the same, we probably would be in the same.

955
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 4: Boat we were twenty years ago. We'd still have a WCW,

956
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 4: we still have WWE.

957
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 2: But when they were pushing each other to these levels

958
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 2: that have never been seen before and we probably will

959
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 2: never see again, that's when the floodgates open and McMahon

960
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: was a wash with cash and that's how he's able

961
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: to buy him and stuff. So so yeah, I mean

962
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think AW keeps saying the

963
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: right thing. They're not really trying to you know, take

964
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 2: WWE down or whatever. I mean, they're just they're going

965
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: to be an alternative, you know, And I think that

966
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: sets them apart from like TNA, because TNA wasn't really

967
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: like they were the same thing, you know, they weren't

968
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 2: really trying to do anything different besides the sixth sided

969
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: ring or whatever. So I think, yeah, I mean, we'll

970
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 2: see if nothing else. I've been super entertained with the

971
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 2: ADW product so far, especially when I turn on RAW

972
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 2: on Mondays and I'm just like, I cannot believe this

973
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 2: is what story they're doing right now.

974
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, it's it's gonna be uh, quite the

975
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 3: spectacle over the next several months, once things start picking

976
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 3: back up and with Bischoff and Paul Hayman back on

977
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 3: their perspective brands. Like we were talking yesterday, I was like,

978
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind seeing, you know, an invasion within the

979
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 3: company like Hayman sending people to the SmackDown to screw

980
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 3: around SmackDown sending to Row and maybe that's why they

981
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 3: implemented this wild card thing to do that. But you know,

982
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 3: it's gonna be fun to watch and it will be

983
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 3: definitely a thing to see when XFL starts getting up

984
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 3: and going, because even though McMahon said that I'm not

985
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 3: gonna have much to do with it, we all know

986
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 3: that he's gonna have his hands in this.

987
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's you know that launches. It

988
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: could be one of those where, you know, for him

989
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 2: to get it to where he wants it to be,

990
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 2: he will have to give up something, you know, So

991
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 2: it could be one of those where he's still a

992
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 2: hands on deck for like the first two or three

993
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 2: weeks with the XFL, and then it's like, shit, I

994
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 2: can't do all of this. So but yeah, and I

995
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: don't know how many people are MLW fans. I've just

996
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: started kind of getting back in like watching some of

997
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: their stuff because they have a really good roster. I

998
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 2: mean some of the like some of the biggest indies

999
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: out there right now that are not on aw they're

1000
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 2: in the MLW, but they are doing they're doing their

1001
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 2: first pay per view. Let's see, Sorry, where is this yep.

1002
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 2: So they're doing their first pay per view November second.

1003
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 2: It's called Saturday Night super Fight and it's gonna be

1004
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine. So that's a that's a pretty good

1005
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 2: price for the wrestling pay per view. So so yeah,

1006
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 2: So again that's another federation that's given some competition. They're

1007
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 2: definitely kind of a ring of honor. You know, they're

1008
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 2: much smaller than what a AW is trying to aspire to.

1009
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 2: But I mean they've got it. Like I said, they'd

1010
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 2: be an incredible roster. So we'll see, we'll see what

1011
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 2: happens with them.

1012
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know something else to look forward to

1013
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: is and this is going to transition into what's going

1014
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:35,439
Speaker 3: to happen, we are going to be giving something away

1015
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 3: on the podcast.

1016

1032
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 3: We don't want to say anything, but he is a

1033
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 3: part of a wrestling organization that just announced a huge
