1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the battle Ground Podcast. This

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: is a podcast all about professional wrestling. Joined Battle and

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Eli as a breakdown what's going on in the world

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: of professional wrestling with special guests, including some of your

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: favorite wrestling superstars. You never know who's gonna stop by

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: now making their way to the microphone. Give it up

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: for the greatest podcast team in the world, Battle and Eli.

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, what is up to

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: you guys?

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: AT's time for another episode of the Friendly Neighborhood Pat.

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: I really completely just messed that entire intro up, but

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: I'm just still gonna roll with it.

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I liked the homage to Spider Man. It

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 4: was a good start.

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: And then I just completely just fumbled the ball and

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: then like Melvin Gordon did in the Titans game, that

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: cost the Chargers the football game.

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: Just then Titans win. That's a call.

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good call.

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is a Uh, this is Battleground, the

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: podcast about wrestling, not about football. I am your host

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Battle along with my tag team partner.

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: Eli and Uh.

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna have some fun today.

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: There's a lot of stuff that we got to get to,

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's.

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: Interesting the Titans actually won.

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: I'm kind of shocked, and I know this is a

29
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: wrestling podcast, but I'm just shocked because I'm a Tennessee

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: Titans homer and the fact that they finally won a

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 3: game and Ryan Tannehill actually looked pretty decent, which I

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: was a big Mariota fan.

33
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening anymore. He will be here.

34
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that kind of signaled the end for

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: his tenure with the Titans. And it's not entirely his

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: fault obviously. I mean, he's had several different coordinators come

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: and go and head coaches and YadA, YadA, YadA, so

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: there hasn't really been stability. But no, at the end

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: of the day, you know, it is a business. I mean,

40
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: it's it's it's price.

41
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if he decides to walk away, he's going

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: away with like forty plus million dollars plus all of

43
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: it endorsement fees. So he can just go back to

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: Hawaii and just kick it and chill for you know,

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: the rest of his life and it'll be fine.

46
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: But I'm sure doing so. Yeah, let's talk wrestling.

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: Now that we've kind of talked football, We're just gonna

48
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: throw everything at you at the very beginning of this episode,

49
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: which speaking of at the beginning of the episode, which

50
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: we should do is let you know that we are

51
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: on social media. It is a Battleground podcast on Instagram,

52
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: Battleground IHR on Twitter, and then you just search Battleground

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: podcast on Facebook and you could like us.

54
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: Let's just go.

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: Ahead and jump right into a very interesting thing that happened.

56
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: Kenney Omega became the Triple A Mega Champion and we

57
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: were kind of talking before we started recording that there

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: was an interesting thing. What really the I guess Triple

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: A Mega Championship is.

60
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it's kind of the equivalent of I

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: guess it's their equivalent of kind of the IC title

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: or the US title. So I guess it's not the

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: grand title, the biggest one that they carry. But still

64
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: the fact that someone from AW won their title after

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 4: the Bucks won their tag team championships, you know, it

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 4: was interesting. But but yeah, I mean that's part of

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: the I guess appeal of AW is they're going to

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: allow people to wrestle other places. Obviously they've had a

69
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: good relationship with Triple A. It's interesting that they're like

70
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: kind of purposely not uh, you know, they're not being

71
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: involved in New Japan. They're not being involved Ring of Honor,

72
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: which kind of seems like obvious choices because of the

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: roster and where they you know, they.

74
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: All use their background in history. Yeah.

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, so I think you know people online and

76
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: I think you mentioned it too. Uh you know, is

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 4: it a good idea? Is it bad? What happens if

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: Kenny Omega gets hurt? You know?

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: Just I mean we've talked about on the show before.

80
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: Like prime example, right before the Lucha brother and the

81
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: Bucks had that ladder match, Phoenix got hurt and his

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: knee got jacked up.

83
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: Right before what pay per view?

84
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 5: Was it?

85
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: Was it the fighter was it fighter Fest or was

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: it all Out? It was the pay per view right

87
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: after Fighter Fest when that all happened. But yeah, I mean,

88
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: when will they stop saying, Okay, guys, you can't go

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: to Triple A, you can't do this, you can't do

90
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: the indie show. Like I know that for certain of

91
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: the wrestlers that we've reached out to, we now have

92
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: to go through like a like a kind of an

93
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: agency to book them. Before it was just like yeah,

94
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: I'll come on. So they're kind of going in the

95
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: aw's kind of going in the right direction of like

96
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: keeping their talent, you know, in line. But it's like

97
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: when do you stop having them go to other promotions.

98
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of it is just, uh,

99
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 4: you know, our conditioning. You know, we we grew up

100
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: watching WCW ANDWWE at the time, WF and I mean

101
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 4: those guys were on Lockdown. I mean, they weren't wrestling

102
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 4: you know, other promotions or indies. I mean, if you

103
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 4: signed with them, that was a full time job. And

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: you know, I don't think WWE will ever you know,

105
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: slide on that They've got, you know, a little bit

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: of a working relationship with Evolve, and obviously they've had

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: some dealings with some of you know, for like the

108
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 4: n X t U K, They've they've allowed some of

109
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 4: those guys to do stuff. But I mean, you know,

110
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 4: we would never see uh you know, John Cena go

111
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: work Triple A or so you know what I mean,

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: Like it's just never gonna happen. So I think I

113
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: think it's just one of those like forward thinking clauses

114
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: or principles that they believe in as a company. And

115
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 4: you know, I think it's more of a I think

116
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: it's more of an artistic thing. So like if you're like,

117
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 4: if you feel the need, like you've got to go

118
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: do this, if you've got to go wrestle in Mexico,

119
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: go do it. You know, we're not gonna be the

120
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 4: ones clamping and you know, tightening the noose and stuff

121
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: like that, so I'm.

122
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: Not making a little extra money on the side.

123
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I mean, you know, for me, just growing

124
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 4: up in the different atmosphere, it seems strange. But I

125
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: think for this last decade you've really seen a lot

126
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 4: more of that, even with you know, Ring of Honor

127
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: letting people go to New Japan and Impact now letting

128
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: people do indies, and you know, they also control their

129
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: copyrights to all the characters and stuff, So I mean

130
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: it's it's just a you know, just another kind of

131
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 4: advantage for signing with them. They're like probably I don't know,

132
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: maybe right now, probably the biggest company on the planet

133
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: that lets you do that kind of stuff.

134
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: So you know, yeah, and you kind of see like

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 3: Impact Wrestling their rosters are doing indie shows as well.

136
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: Like I can't tell you how many times I've seen

137
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 3: like Brian Cage is doing something or Callahan. Tessa Blanchard's

138
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: all over the place, because she's probably one of the

139
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: hottest you know, wrestlers in the moment and right now.

140
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: And when I say hottest, I mean not by looks,

141
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: I mean like you know, match one buzz wise, buzzwise, yes,

142
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: because I did feel very weird when I said that about.

143
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: Camille, was like, this is the hottest wrestler right now,

144
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: and I'm.

145
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: Like, and you said it directly to her face. So yeah,

146
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 4: in the fact that she was okay, I think she

147
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: got what she meant.

148
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: So I was just like, oh, I hope she thinks that.

149
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm not like that creepy thirty year old dude saying,

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: oh man, she's so hot and this dude's married right here.

151
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. Anyways, but.

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: That's the thing is like, it's it's gonna get to

153
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: the point where they will probably have to lay the

154
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: hammer down because let's just you know, I mean, Jericho's

155
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: not going out doing an indie show. The only thing

156
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: that he's going out doing is you know, his music

157
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: and his tour, which I think I don't think they're

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: on tour at the moment.

159
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: I don't think so. Now he does have a claw.

160
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: He is going to wrestle in Japan again, though, so

161
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: right now. I mean even when he had them, was

162
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: he the inter cotton Yeah, he was the new Japan

163
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: Intercontinental Champion. Even when he had that, I think he

164
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: wrested form like three times or something. So it's definitely

165
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: gonna be a smaller you know, it's you know, one

166
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: or two appearances or whatever. But you know, I think

167
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: what you're probably getting to and maybe I'm just reading

168
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: your mind, I don't know, but you know, if they

169
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: get up to that, it's kind of hard to describe

170
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: them because, you know, if you just talk to them

171
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: at face value, they're a wrestling company that's valued at

172
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: billions because of their owners and stuff. You know, you

173
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: would assume that they're just this juggernaut, and they're not

174
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: yet really. I mean, they're they're beating NXT every week,

175
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: but they're not to that WWE level. You know. I

176
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: think if they get up to that next step and

177
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: they're selling out you know, hockey arenas two and three

178
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: times a week and the TV deal, you know, they

179
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 4: keep growing the audience and maybe they introduced a second show.

180
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 4: You know, I think once they get up to that

181
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: next level, you know, probably what WCW was in the

182
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: early ninety you're probably gonna start seeing it get wheeled

183
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 4: in a little bit more, you know. But uh, and

184
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: then you know, it's also the same thing. Uh. You know,

185
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: Cody got injured in an aw ring with his his

186
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: own booking, you know when when shown spears hit him

187
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: with the chair, and you know, so what's the matter.

188
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: You could get hurt in your own ring, you get

189
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 4: hurt in Mexico. I mean, it's it's all the same difference,

190
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: I guess. So yeah, but yeah, I think, you know,

191
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: I think Impact did it a couple of years ago

192
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: to really just kind of like get more talent in like, look,

193
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: just sitting exclusive you can wrestle whatever, blah blah blah.

194
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think at some point they're gonna have

195
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: to kind of wheel it in and be like, look,

196
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 4: this is you know, this is what we're doing. We're

197
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: not gonna let out you know, outside bookings or whatever.

198
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: Right, And it's it's one of those things that and

199
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna I'm just kind of spitball in this. But

200
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, you sit here and let's just

201
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: say you have a huge match coming up, and it's

202
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: like the one that you're banking on, like your main event.

203
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: And let's just say that it's Kenny Omega and he's

204
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: doing something and he goes to like one of these

205
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 3: one random off events, right, and you've been hyping it

206
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: up for months, and he goes to a excuse me,

207
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: a local thing and gets hurt. Then you're gonna have

208
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: to scramble to figure out, Okay, what are we gonna do?

209
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: What's next in line? Since he's out six to eight

210
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: months or you know. And that's cool that they're going

211
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: off this ranking system, so they could easily just you know,

212
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: implement Okay, the next person in line is.

213
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: So and so.

214
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's like it's a scary thing because you're

215
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: playing with fire because like, you know, you don't see

216
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: like you said, you don't see Roman Reigns doing you know, Bizmarck,

217
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,359
Speaker 3: you know whatever, or being in Missouri or Japan wrestling

218
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: for thousands of people and then coming back to SmackDown

219
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: Friday night.

220
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, or even worse, uh, you know, wrestling at a

221
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 4: high school gym for one hundred people or so, you

222
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like, you know, some of these

223
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: indie bookings are very small, you know, so, but yeah,

224
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, I I can kind of see,

225
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 4: you know, why they're allowing everybody to do it, but

226
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: it's just, you know, I'm one of those. It's just

227
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: there's so much that could go wrong, you know. But anyways,

228
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 4: I think I think the other thing we're going to

229
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 4: mention about he dad was Jake Hagar.

230
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's so funny because it's Hagar Hagar however

231
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: you say it.

232
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: It's like when, yeah, I was calling him Jack Jack

233
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 4: Hager and I was like, that's that's not his first name.

234
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: That's always be Jack Swagger to me.

235
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jake Jack. That's so Yeah. But yeah, someone mentioned

236
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 4: online about him not wrestling, and I guess it's due

237
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 4: to his commitments with m M A and I guess

238
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: he's got a match. I guess this this weekend. I

239
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 4: guess twenty fifth or twenty sixth or something. Yeah, So

240
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: I think it was just, hey, I'm already signed up

241
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 4: for this, but I I just signed with AW I'm

242
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: not gonna really wrestle. So he's done a few, you know,

243
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: like clothes lines and stuff, but he's not really getting

244
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 4: that physical and so yeah, so the theory is that

245
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: once that's that match is done, then uh, he'll you know,

246
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: he'll obviously be in ring. And it's funny because Jericho

247
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 4: wanted him in the role that he's in in WWE,

248
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 4: and everyone shot it down. They're like, this is stupid.

249
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: You know, he's not a I can't remember if he

250
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: calls him the heater or the cooler or whatever, but

251
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 4: he's like he's that's that's not gonna work and brings

252
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: him in and obviously it's working out pretty well so

253
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 4: far so.

254
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: And I mean just listen to that crowd light up.

255
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: In a course, Jericho made the comment of like when

256
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: everybody was doing the we the people chant and whatnot,

257
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: and Jericho ripped into that thing and you could kind

258
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: of see, you know, Jake's face kind of like trying

259
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: not to laugh.

260
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 4: He held it together pretty well.

261
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: But I mean, when he comes back, it's gonna be

262
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna be awesome. And this whole Inner Circle thing

263
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: is phenomenal what they're doing right now. And seeing Lax

264
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: go up against the Young Bucks and is it full gear,

265
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: full circle, full gear, full gear something full you know

266
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: that match is gonna bring the house down.

267
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean Lax and Lucher Brothers fault at

268
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 4: the Impact pay per viewerlier this year, and that's there

269
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: in my top five for the year as far as

270
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: Matches goes crazy, I mean just on a different level.

271
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 4: That to me really put the kind of the bulls

272
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: eye on Lax. I was like, well, they can hang

273
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: with Lucha Brothers, who considered you know, the best in

274
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: the world, with the young bugs. And then you know,

275
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: once you start hearing like, oh well there deals up

276
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 4: in March or whatever, and I was like, oh, well

277
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: that's a no brainer. They're gonna go somewhere else. I

278
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: think it's I made a joke the other day about

279
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: I like all the members of Inner Circle, Jericho, Hagar

280
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: l a X, Gaverro and then Gaverro's tongue because he

281
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: can't keep it in his skull. But but no, I

282
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: think it's a cool uh cool stable and you know,

283
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: obviously pairing them with the world champion and probably the

284
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: most recognizable person on the roster, which is why he

285
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: got the belt. I you know, I just think it's gonna,

286
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 4: you know, cause everybody else to blow up around him.

287
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: Really, so yeah, and something else I kind of want

288
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: to talk about since we're gonna stick on this aw thing.

289
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: So watching Wednesday.

290
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: Night, uh, let's see, the Lucher brothers came out and

291
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: attacked SCU, which set up up for a different thing

292
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: we'll talk about here in a little bit.

293
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: But going back and watching.

294
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: Pentagon Powered or Pile Drive, Christopher Daniels like, there was

295
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: a little bit of the top of his head hit

296
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: that ramp and I was like, okay, maybe this is

297
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: a work And then all of a sudden there was

298
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: the and I'm trying to find it, but there was

299
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: a I guess Christopher Daniels posted up a photo of

300
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: him in the hospital and they were talking about this

301
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: injury and I can't find it. It was somewhere on

302
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: Let's See.

303
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: Here we Go, Here we Go.

304
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had posted a photo of him sitting in

305
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: the hospital and it says injuries are the worst. They're

306
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: like a tunnel where you don't know the link, you

307
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: don't know when you'll see the daylight again. But it

308
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: didn't come this far to just fade away, especially since

309
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: I have unfinished business to attend to.

310
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

311
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: SCU soon, So that kind of made me think of like,

312
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: did you know, was he already hurt and this was

313
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: just kind of a way to write him out of

314
00:15:59,320 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: the tournament?

315
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: Or did that palle.

316
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: Driver like, was that the injury that's putting him out

317
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: because they've already lost lutrasaurce because I think what there's

318
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: like three there's three to eight weeks or six to

319
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: eight weeks.

320
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's kind of funny because like, I don't know,

321
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: like after I sent you that thing about Lutrasaurus, he

322
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: posted something about almost like downplaying it, like, oh, yeah, well,

323
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: you know I had an ankle injury in twenty twelve

324
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 4: and everyone said I was done and I'm back or something.

325
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: I don't know if he like if it's like a

326
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: real thing or he's just downplaying it or like I'm

327
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: not sure, but yeah, when we were watching the Wednesday

328
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 4: Night thing, I didn't see them come out with the X.

329
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: I just saw I just saw the attack, and you know,

330
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 4: I kind of wasn't paying attention. So you you saw

331
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: the official do the X, so it sounds like it

332
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: was actually real. I thought it was a work obviously. Yeah,

333
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 4: he must they.

334
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: Use the X as it's a work, because yeah, there's

335
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: got to be a new code for like rub your

336
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: eyebrow or something that there's like secret code because everybody

337
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: knows what the x mes.

338
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: So but yeah, once you saw the replay, you did

339
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 4: see it kind of he did make contact, so maybe

340
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: he just I'm hoping it's just a sprain, you know,

341
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 4: like it happened so quick that he just kind of

342
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 4: his head bounced off. But maybe when he like rolled

343
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 4: over with Pentagon, maybe he kind of like strained his

344
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 4: neck or something. So maybe it's not serious. He just needs,

345
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: you know, a little little bit of time off. So

346
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: but yeah, that'll be interesting.

347
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: But kudos a Scorpio for stepping in and you know,

348
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: wrestling and jeans and some Adidas and there was I

349
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: guess a video. I guess he got really hype during

350
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 3: the match and through his shoes in the crowd and

351
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: a fan through his shoes back so he could put

352
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: him back on.

353
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah that's uh to And you know, again it's hard

354
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 4: to tell if it's real or not, but I mean

355
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: it seems like that part was not planned obviously because

356
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: he was in street clothes. But to do the bulk

357
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: of the match bear, you know, with no shoes on, almost

358
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 4: pretty crazy. But yeah, I think this. I think the

359
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: tag Tournament's just going to be crazy as we go along,

360
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, but yeah.

361
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: And this is this is what I'm kind of hoping

362
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: to see.

363
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 3: Like when I thought, you know, Lucre's source was going

364
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: to be out, I thought that maybe Marco and Jungle

365
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: Boy were going to beat the Luca brothers and be like,

366
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: I knew it was going to be a huge upset

367
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 3: if it happened, because it seems like aw is so

368
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: high on what are the Jungle Express is that their

369
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 3: stable name? It seems like they're so high on So

370
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: I was thinking, Okay, you know, Lucha's out, maybe they're

371
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: going to put Marco in. Maybe the plan is for

372
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: them to win and then Lucas Horse comes back and

373
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: they kind of go like a New Day status or

374
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: a Freebird rule, And of course they got murdered. During

375
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: the match, Marco looked amazing, and of course all the

376
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: the wrestling community that's not a wrestling fan was just

377
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: ripping him on his size.

378
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: But I mean, which is just.

379
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 4: Kind of like the most obvious thing you can do.

380
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's like you know, going up.

381
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: When it's not Rijo it's Nia Jackson or Nyla Rose.

382
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: They just you know, they see the obvious and that's

383
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: all they think.

384
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: Or back in the day, yo Kazuna or something. Yeah,

385
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 4: it's just like, okay, so all you're gonna do is

386
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: make a fat joke, like that's the best you can do.

387
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: And you know, oh, you're gonna tell the guy that's

388
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 4: five to two he's short, Like he doesn't know that

389
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 4: by now, you know. It's just I don't know, but

390
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: I mean, seeing Marco Russell in Nashville for as long

391
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 4: as I have and then you know, see him blow

392
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 4: up almost overnight and then you know, get signed to

393
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: a huge company like this, it's just been awesome. And

394
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 4: he's like a good dude, and you know, his younger

395
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 4: brother wrestles with him. He's not an aw obviously, but

396
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 4: you know, indies and they'll bring their family out and stuff.

397
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: So I mean, it's just, you know, it's it's just people,

398
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: literal idiots, especially when he can go, you know, and.

399
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: And clearly in that match he can go, especially going

400
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: against the brothers.

401
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you have Jericho coming news Defense and

402
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 4: you know, obviously they're they're high on him or they

403
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 4: wanted to sign to him, you know, so, but I

404
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 4: think you and I mentioned I think we talked about

405
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 4: the Darby Allen match last week. Yeah, last show. Yeah,

406
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: so we don't have to talk about that, but no, no,

407
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 4: but yeah. But then other than that, I think another

408
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 4: pause positive is the NWA weekend in Atlanta. I know,

409
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 4: the pay per view sold out December fourteenth.

410
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: And I didn't even see that the tickets were on sale,

411
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: and I followed the entire thing and all of a sudden,

412
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 3: I look and it's like sold out, and I was like,

413
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 3: wait a second, what.

414
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. I signed up on their website and it clearly

415
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: says for ticket information or you know, access to relief

416
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 4: tickets whatever, put in your email dress and I did

417
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: that and I never got any any notice or anything

418
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 4: about it.

419
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 3: And I'll do the same thing and never saw anything

420
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: unless it goes to my junkie now.

421
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 4: Yeah. But so it's kind of bummed because they are

422
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 4: doing it in the same place they record the TV show.

423
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 4: But you know, that's not really the best place for

424
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: a pay per view. You know, it's a smaller setting,

425
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 4: so it's gonna fill up really quickly. And then they're

426
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: doing TV tapings the Sunday and the Monday, and I

427
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 4: just don't think I can swing that for work, so

428
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 4: that's unfortunate. But one of these days, uh, you know,

429
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 4: we have been talking to NBA behind the scenes and

430
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: hopefully we'll get some people on to kind of help

431
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 4: with their resurgence. I've enjoyed the shows so far on Tuesdays.

432
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 4: They've been really good so far. And you know, we

433
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: mentioned several you know, the Rock and Corey Graves and

434
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 4: all these other big guys that are singing his praises too.

435
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 4: So it's cool to see. You know, I want to

436
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 4: see where they're aut a year from now, you know,

437
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: are they Are they going to move over to a

438
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 4: real like an actual TV show on a broadcast or

439
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 4: keep it on YouTube or you know, it'd be interesting

440
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 4: to see where they go from here. But I think

441
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 4: they're on the right track right now. Man, They're really

442
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 4: they're doing some cool stuff with it.

443
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's really cool to watch it because

444
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: it's got that old school vibe.

445
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: Docin is doing the theme song.

446
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: You know. It's like eight commercials too.

447
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: They're pretty cool, yes, like Tony Fowks Tire and or

459
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,959

Speaker 3: can watch it on YouTube and the thing is you

465
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: see like how many people are actually watching it and

466
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: you can you don't have to, like I like to

467
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: watch it live, but there's times that I could, you know,

468
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 3: if I can't watch it, I don't have to worry

469
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 3: about did I DV are it?

470
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: Is this going to be there? Like just pull it

471
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 2: up any time.

472
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 4: And it doesn't feel like a chore, like like it's

473
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: a you know, it's an hour long, but like it's

474
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 4: it's like a good hour, like I don't feel like, fuck,

475
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 4: I wish this was two hours. Like it feels awesome.

476
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 4: It's not a chore to me, like SmackDown was on Tuesdays,

477
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And it's and and what

478
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 4: you just said also plays into that, like it's you know,

479
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 4: I don't have to watch it right at turner tip

480
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: turner time, but it's cool if I can. But you know,

481
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 4: I I think a lot of people, I mean I

482
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 4: miss those hour long shows. You know, I miss Saturday

483
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 4: you know w CW Saturday Night main event, and I

484
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 4: mean they it seemed like to me that I remember

485
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 4: at various points there was like a Saturday morning show.

486
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: There was like a ten am thing. There was a

487
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: Saturday night thing which was the six o five, and

488
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: then sometimes on Sundays they would do like a five

489
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 4: oh five or six oh five thing, and you know,

490
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 4: most of the times those were just hour you know,

491
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 4: little things, and they do you know, four matches and

492
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 4: then like three or four interviews and that was it.

493
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: And I don't know, I think it's just when you

494
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: look at the the bloated Monday Night Raw every week

495
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: and just how much crap they used to have to,

496
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: you know, cram in there. And it's funny that they

497
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 4: have that much time. But then there's so many people

498
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: that aren't on TV. You know. But anyway, another another

499
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 4: talk for another day. But you know, I'm really I'm

500
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 4: really digging into b A I've been. I've been excited

501
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: about well about a year before Billy Corgan fought or

502
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 4: bought them. Excuse me, it must have been right around

503
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: the time Tim Storm won the belt or not long

504
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 4: after something. I was just shocked that the n WA

505
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: was still round, Like I didn't even you know, I

506
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 4: was one of those people. I thought that when Turner

507
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 4: bought whatever and turned you know it it went from

508
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: NWA one day to w CW the next day. I

509
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 4: assumed that they bought the NWA because you know, Flair

510
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: went over and they used they had a big gold

511
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: belt that they had with the NWA, and then when

512
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: it became WCW, that went away. But but no, they never,

513
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: they never went away. They just kind of I guess technically,

514
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 4: Ted Turner bought Jim Crockett Productions and that's the bulk

515
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 4: of the talent. And then but NWA just kept going

516
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 4: all this time, and they had the infamous Shane Douglas

517
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 4: episode he won the title in ninety five and threw

518
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 4: it down and said ECW for life whatever. And but

519
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: but yes, I mean I've I've been really excited to

520
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 4: see you know, this resurgence. And then when Billy Corgan

521
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 4: bought them, I know a lot of people were like

522
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 4: rolled their eyes and grown. But I mean he's got

523
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 4: the passion and obviously the money, but I mean he

524
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: was trying to buy Impact and all that fell off,

525
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 4: you know, the wheels fell off with that. And so

526
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 4: to see him be able to buy this brand with

527
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 4: this kind of legacy and kind of go from there,

528
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: it's been really really awesome. So we're as a podcast,

529
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: we're big fans, oh.

530
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: Most definitely big fans of that show.

531
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 4: I can't wait for the next NWA in Nashville a bit.

532
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 4: I think that's gonna be huge.

533
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: I think that'll probably be the next I mean, I

534
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: like the idea of staying in Atlanta because the heritage

535
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: and stuff, but I mean I would like to see

536
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: them kind of like they don't even have to like

537
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 3: make it as part of power, but just kind of

538
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: take it around and just keep it in like the

539
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: Southern territory, like the old days.

540
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, NWA is phenomenal.

541
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: And like you said, it's an hour, it's not are

542
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: and there's not all the stupid commercials of like the

543
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 3: normal commercials you have to watch. It's like the funny commercials.

544
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 3: And it's an hour and you could pause it, start it,

545
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 3: and if you see something really cool, you could, you know,

546
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 3: share the link with somebody. You can't really share your

547
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: DVR with somebody after watching something. Yeah, So and that's

548
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: the cool thing I like about NWA.

549
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: Let's see where are we at. We're just kind of

550
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: breezing right through this episode.

551
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we were gonna mention Crown Jewel, but

552
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 4: I mean we've got I think we'll record, like to

553
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 4: at least two more times before then, so we might

554
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: hold that off till an episode closer to time. Yeah.

555
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 4: The only other thing that I can think of we

556
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 4: talked about was Ethan Page mentioned that they're bringing back

557
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: actual the TNA name and brand and some kind of

558
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: pay per view during WrestleMania.

559
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: That is very smart.

560
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's cool, you know, especially like we

561
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: just talked about the wa and all the nostalgia factor

562
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 4: that's you know, feeling that. I mean, I think I

563
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 4: think Impact slash TEENA has been around long enough now

564
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: to where you can kind of start looking back on

565
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 4: some of that stuff. And then right after that, the

566
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 4: Young Bucks posted a picture of when they were there,

567
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 4: and then one of the vps or maybe the president

568
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 4: of Impact invited them to come wrestle. I sent it

569
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 4: to you. I think we both think it's a long shot.

570
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 4: But again the start of the show we mentioned how

571
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 4: they're not exclusive, but you know, I think Impact is

572
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: still a direct competition, so like I would, I don't

573
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 4: think I don't expect the Bucks to go like wrestle

574
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 4: there or WWE or Ring of Honor. You know, I

575
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: think I think as long as it's not a direct competition,

576
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 4: they'd be open to it. But I mean, stranger things

577
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: have happened, you know, so.

578
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: Who Impact Impact has done, like co branded Triple A

579
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 3: shows m So it could be one of those things

580
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: that you know, a year from now, they could be

581
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: doing something in partner up, you know, and be one

582
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: big conglomerate. Now I don't see, you know, after they

583
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 3: just bought you.

584
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: Know, that television network.

585
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: I don't see that happening, but stranger things have happened

586
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: with impact, and but I just I would. I think

587
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 3: it would be a cool thing to see, you know,

588
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: young bucks And was it motor City machine Guns going

589
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: at it again?

590
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: Was the thing?

591
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

592
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: I think so, Yeah it could. I I mean, stranger

593
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: things have happened. It's it'll be wrestlming a weekend. All

594
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: eyes will be on what aw is gonna do that weekend,

595
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: not like all eyes are on this guy's tattoo that

596
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: says aew on his hand.

597
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah that was Yeah.

598
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 3: I mean I don't I don't think there's any brand

599
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: or anything that I would get tattooed on me. But

600
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: then again, I've got a bunch of random tattoos, but

601
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm not going out and getting like a WWE logo.

602
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's one of those

603
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 4: where I mean, I've I've tried to really kind of

604
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: you know, I guess think before I speak, and you know,

605
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 4: it's just kind of one of those like, you know,

606
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 4: we've only got one life and at the end of

607
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 4: the day, we're just trying to get through it. So

608
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: if you don't like wrestling, don't watch wrestling. If you

609
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 4: like wrestling, watch it. You know, there's tons of stuff

610
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 4: to watch. If you love it so much that you

611
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 4: want to get it inked on your body, go crazy, buddy,

612
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: how about it?

613
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

614
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: I mean I know I've seen you know, I've seen

615
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 4: people get Ultimate Warrior tattoos. I've seen people get Macho

616
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 4: man tattoos. I mean, who cares, you know.

617
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: So always close to getting a whole coking tattoo before

618
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: the scandal. Yeah, yeah, that was like dodge the bullet

619
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: on that one. Let's just get a baby Jason Crawn

620
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: with a machete. That's the way we were going.

621
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: Well that's probably cooler anyway, but I did. I think

622
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: i'd have to try to I don't know where this was,

623
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: maybe a decade ago, but I want to say I

624
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 4: think I remember somebody getting they got the WrestleMania six

625
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: poster tattooed and on left the left side was the

626
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 4: Warrior and the right arm was Hogan. Oh.

627
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: I have seen that one, and I was like.

628
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: Well, that's fucking incredible. I mean, I hate to say it,

629
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: but but I mean, yeah, it's Yeah, the people obviously

630
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 4: have just went after this guy for it, and I mean,

631
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 4: I just think it's stupid. I mean, if you like it,

632
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: do it, if you don't whatever. I mean, I collect

633
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: wrestling belts, so I mean what I'm figures, right, So

634
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 4: I mean here we judged.

635
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: Just to be clear, I wasn't ripping the guy's tattoo

636
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: at all. I'm just saying that it was a very

637
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: bold move.

638
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: Oh totally yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't take it as

639
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 4: you were ripping it. Yeah, I mean, I mean, no offense.

640
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 4: But the company is only a year, not even a

641
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 4: year old, So yes, it is very I guess I

642
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 4: would call it fanatical, and I don't mean that in

643
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 4: a bad way, just mean being a fan of in nature.

644
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: I guess, I don't know. I don't know what I'm

645
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 4: getting at, but you know, it's you know, if it

646
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: was a WWE logo, at least they've been around sixty years,

647
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: seven years, whatever, nwa whatever.

648
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: But and if it was a WB it would be

649
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: the old school w w F logo. Of course, tattooed

650
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: on me. Of course knew whatever that is.

651
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: But that is yeah. So but hey man, more more

652
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: power too.

653
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do want to talk about this though, because

654
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: I remember we talked about possibly doing a Halloween Havoc show,

655
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: so that might coincide with the Crown.

656
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: Jewel episode week.

657
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: But anyways, the one thing I do want to talk

658
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: about for a brief second is the fact that I

659
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 3: think that I've called it that we will see Rick

660
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: Flair and Hulk Hogan wrestle in that match.

661
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to give you credit. I think you

662
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: did call it, which, as you can tell by my voice,

663
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 4: I'm not too happy about it. I mean, Jesus Christ, dude.

664
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 4: Flair just turned seventy this year. Hogan's sixty six, I

665
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 4: think sixty six, sixty seven, and I know they just

666
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 4: did a report. He's wanting to get one more match,

667
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 4: and I I mean.

668
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: But with who, Like, nobody wants to be that guy

669
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 3: unless you put Baron Corbyn and just continue down that path.

670
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 4: Because the problem is is Hulk doesn't want to do

671
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 4: the traditional thing like we saw kurd Angle do, which

672
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 4: is your last match, you go down, you go you

673
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: put somebody else over. And he's not gonna do that.

674
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: No, he wants to go out on top.

675
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 4: And I mean I get his point in the sense

676
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: that he's like, look, man, my last match was impact.

677
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: I'd rather not be I'd rather be in wwant to

678
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: go out with the company, right, you know, I get that,

679
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 4: but you're also fucking sixty seven, sixty six years old.

680
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: No one wants to watch that, you know. I mean,

681
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: people are ripping Undertaker, who's ten or fifteen years younger

682
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: and way more agile and can go better in the

683
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 4: ring than them two and so I don't know, the

684
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: only thing I can think of is just if they're

685
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 4: if they're going to do a big payday like they

686
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 4: did for Tyson Fury, you know, like I because evidently

687
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 4: some I think the first time they did the Saudi

688
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 4: Ready to be a crap for the blood money was

689
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 4: they were asking for people they were like dead, like

690
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 4: they were asking for like Macho Man and you know

691
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 4: all these people, and it's like, yeah, we're gonna have

692
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: a hard time getting him here.

693
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: But watch him on the new WW two K game, yeah.

694
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 4: Which has terrible graphics, but but yeah, you know, so

695
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 4: I'm sure that Flair and Hogan and you know, probably

696
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 4: like Ricky the Dragon steam Boat. I bet you some

697
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 4: of these guys are on that list because they're like,

698
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 4: we want to see these people, so I'm sure you know.

699
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: If they're like, look, Hulk will give you ten million

700
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 4: bucks to do this one match. Flair will give you

701
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 4: ten million bucks do this one match. I mean something

702
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 4: like that, I'm sure they're gonna do it. But no

703
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: one wants I mean, I don't want to see this

704
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 4: pay per view at all. Oh well, okay, we'll save it. Yeah,

705
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 4: I mean, no one wants to see this pay per view.

706
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: And then on top of that, if they make that

707
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 4: match happen, it's just gonna be awful. I mean, just

708
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 4: a new level of awful.

709
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: So and here's what I don't get it.

710
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 3: So like Hulk Cogan's I was like, understand the champ,

711
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: Rollins needs to do what he's got to do. Defending

712
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 3: the title gets bray White is what champions do. Don't worry, Nah,

713
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: I got an idea for Team Hogan brother WWE Crown

714
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: Jewel HH, which means he was the one that tweeted that.

715
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 3: And then Rick Flair decides to jump in, which literally

716
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 3: was like, well here we go. He was like, I

717
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 3: know teams, I know factions, the Horsemen Evolution, I created

718
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 3: some of the best.

719
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: Never got one up on Nah Flair.

720
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, fair and square. I don't know why I couldn't

721
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 3: read for a second. It's that metro education right there.

722
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 3: Hard and then he's like, and if we did it

723
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 3: one on one today, it would be a figure for

724
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 3: and the bell for you Hogan wo hashtag WW crown

725
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 3: jewel hashtag sixteen times, which led me to believe.

726
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 4: I mean they're hinting at it really hard.

727
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen.

728
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: And like I told you, I said, it's just gonna

729
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: be Flair chops Hogan doing his you know, hulkster thing.

730
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna to get a leg figure four and we're

731
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 3: gonna get a leg drop.

732
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it was quick like that, like like Flair

733
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 4: gets out to the lead on the front, tons of chops,

734
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 4: you know, gets the fog or four end, he reverses

735
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 4: it or grabs a rope and then he hulks up

736
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: leg drop into story. I mean, if it's like a

737
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 4: five or to seven minute match, you know, I guess

738
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 4: I could see that. But I mean they're gonna have

739
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 4: to pay the Flair to fly that far to job

740
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 4: to Hogan again for one match.

741
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: Flair has to bring his wife and the rest of

742
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 2: his family.

743
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: Well, she won't I don't think his wife will be

744
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 3: able to Well, she could beat there to watch.

745
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 4: She might be able to attend, Yeah, but I don't.

746
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: Know she could do.

747
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 3: But anyways, Yeah, and something else because we're coming towards

748
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: the end of the show. H something we haven't done

749
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: on a Monday episode in a while, just because it's

750
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: we've just been trying to jam pack everything.

751
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: Is a weekly challenge.

752
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's correct.

753
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 3: We have a few in mind that we have in

754
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 3: our brains. At the moment, we're kind of going back

755
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 3: and forth, back and forth. So by the time that

756
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 3: this episode is ending, you should be able to see

757
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 3: who are weekly challenges on our Instagram, which is Battleground

758
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 3: Podcast Boom.

759
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've were kind of finalizing. I think we've got

760
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 4: the one participant, but we're just trying to, you know,

761
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 4: figure out the who the opponent is for that one.

762
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 4: I was trying to think because I think we did.

763
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just scrolling through our Instagram feed instead

764
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 4: of focusing on the show.

765
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: This just goes to show how professional we are because

766
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: I'm literally on the Battleground Podcast Instagram.

767
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 4: I guess we did not do the You mentioned two

768
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 4: gentlemen and one of them is a WWD wrestler. I

769
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 4: don't think we did him. Okay, well, we won't spoil

770
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 4: just in case something changes, but yeah, it'll probably be.

771
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: I guess both these guys have been in the headlines

772
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:14,800
