<v Speaker 1>Don't think you can say that, Well, we haven't for

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a while, but for a while we did the the

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>end of Tam Knockano's career.

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 8>Tom, Yes, sad I guess. I mean these Joe, She's

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 8>seem to have a shorter life span as far as

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 8>their inn ring time goes than most of the other

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 8>styles and competitors around the world. So it's not, you know,

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 8>uncharacteristic for somebody to go out while they're relatively at

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.559
<v Speaker 8>the top. But you know, tam Knockano has been around

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 8>for a while, and you know, now's the time. Now's

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 8>the time for her to leave. She's retired. But I

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 8>mean she's not the only person gone from stardom. Oh oh,

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.079
<v Speaker 8>there's a lot. So I mean Tam Knockao, sure, she's

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 8>gone from the wrestling world, but Stardom also fired the

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 8>Toxic Spider, Thekla.

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then who's going to be doing some dates

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>in America?

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 8>And then also it was announced Mayu Iwaitani, who fell

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 8>to shury the greatest female wrestler of all time, lost

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 8>the IWGP Woman's title to her. And now we'll be

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 8>departing stardom as well. She's been there since the very

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 8>first show in boy, can we fact check this twenty eleven? Maybe?

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.559
<v Speaker 10>And uh now now she'll be gone, Mike A.

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 9>NAT's it's an end of an era in a lot

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 9>of ways. It's gonna be interesting to see what Mayui

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 9>Watani does. Obviously she's got a relationship with rossi Ogawa

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 9>in the Mari Gold promotion, but it's going to be

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.439
<v Speaker 9>interesting to see if she has gotten all of branches

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 9>extended from the United States. There's been talk about her

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 9>following Kyrie saying and in Eo Sharai to WWE AW

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 9>I would be sure would have some interest in her

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 9>as well. The most interesting name to me though, is

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 9>Thekla because no offense to the other women, but she's

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 9>got a lot less miles on her career right now.

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 9>She's got a unique style, a unique look, and probably

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 9>is somebody who is going to be in demand down

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 9>the line. If these indie dates go well here in

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 9>the States that AWWWE wouldn't be looking at her because

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 9>she seems perfect for them.

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, last night Dave said that Mautani might end

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>up in WE or AW and a lot of people

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>got mad. I don't know it's going to be Mary Gold.

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>It could be Mary Gold. It could but you know what,

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>WWE and AW are paying a lot of money right now,

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money, and they would both want her,

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and I do not think that that is out of

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the question at.

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 8>All, Brian, if I were a company trying to make

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 8>inroads into other areas like it seems like WWE is

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 8>willing to do at this point. You know, they've already

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 8>worked with Marigold in the past, so you know, would

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 8>it really be out of you know, out of character

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 8>for my Ewaitani to be working for WWE but also

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 8>beyond these big Marigold shows, And the same could be

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 8>said for Decla Dekla is oh boy, Hungarian. Maybe she's

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 8>from somewhere in Europe. I probably screw that one up,

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 8>but I got the I got the stardom debut date right,

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 8>so maybe I did on that one as well.

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 9>But from Madan is where she's from.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 8>Mike, That's not a real place. I know there's a

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 8>lot of former Eastern Bloc countries with bizarre names, but

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 8>that is not a real place. She's European of some nature.

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 9>Okay, thank you.

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 1>God, I know what did you all the time? He

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>has a stickler for facts.

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 9>God, sorry to throw you off. Good start today, guys, Tom, you.

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't even know where she's from.

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 10>You guess from she's from Europe?

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>God? Anyway, what's your point.

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 10>Well, they're they're trying to get it to Europe as well.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, sure Austrian.

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 10>Sorry Austrian. Had they used to be the same country,

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 10>My bad.

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, supports. As Maya was mentioned in the past, she

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>dealt with homesickness in the past when she visited the US. Well,

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure she did. But you know you mentioned, you

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Austria. You know who else is from Austria? Gunther

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and uh and for years when he was Walter, he

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>also was homesick and said he would never he would

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>never move and uh and then one day he did

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and that was the end of that. So things change, guys,

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Things change. We shall see where everybody ends up. But

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>do not rule anything out, especially now with like you know,

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>both AW and WWE. I mean, they're heavy in recruiting

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>mode and they got a lot of money.

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, it gonna be a lot disappointed Japanese wrestling fans.

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 9>And I'm sure Adam and I when we do the

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 9>big Audio Nightmare tomorrow and talk about this. I brought

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 9>this up before about guys coming over here where you know,

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 9>it feels like Japanese baseball and American baseball now because

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 9>America can pay so much, to such a ridiculous degree

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 9>that there's gonna be a lot of people who end

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 9>up leaving New Japan and all of these other promotions,

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 9>maybe a lot earlier than their fans really want them to.

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 9>But you got to take the opportunities when they're there.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, we're on a way to the break. But you

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>hear Mina Shirakaw was now with Aw got her debut

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>on a Ring of Honor back in a moment Observer Live.

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>You are listening to wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 2>and Mike semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Trying to hold in my frustration.

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 9>All right, give me at least a genre. What has.

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>It's uh, but I'm moving on here. I don't want

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to get in this fight. It's wasting my time. It

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>makes people mad.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>So what else do we got?

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 9>Hey?

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Raw is tonight, Rhea Ripley versus Roxanne Perez. We got

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Seth Paul and Braun Breaker appearing as part of their

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>new faction. Pad McPhee will address the attack by Gunther,

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 1>which I presume sets of a match, and Becky Lynch

0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 1>will address the attack on Lyra Valcy as I like

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to call her. That's coming up tonight, and then tomorrow

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>is NXT with Ricky Saints versus Lexus King for the

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>North American title, Hank and Tank versus Briggs and Ina Mura,

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 1>which actually should be quite a slobber knocker. That's for

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the tag team titles, and Tony D and Stacks have

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a face to face.

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 9>I hope Hank and Tank are ready because they're going

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.120
<v Speaker 9>to get hit really hard.

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, they're ready. You don't think they're gonna hit, They're

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:29.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit.

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'll tell you what does it hit? According to Stacks,

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.600
<v Speaker 8>and that's Tony D's mom's risotto.

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 9>Oh that's fighting words.

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>That of my Wednesday has got Hangman Page versus Kyle

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher and the Owenehart Foundation Tournament's semifinals, which should be great.

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.400
<v Speaker 1>We got Every time I read this all star eight

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.640
<v Speaker 1>man tag I immediately think of like nineteen eighty nine

0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Survivor series. We got Kenny Omega, Speedball, Mark Brisco and

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Knight against the Young Bucks, Okada and Ricochet.

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.440
<v Speaker 9>If we had to give these teams and names, what

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 9>would they be?

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I have to think about that for you.

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 9>Omega's onslaught against you know, the Bucks.

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Versus the speed Balls. Don't know, Tony Storm will less

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>you a title eliminator open challenge. I can't imagine who

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>might accept that. Hurt Syndicate will appear live and MGF

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>will appear live, probably together. But they've listened that as

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 1>two different segments. So that's the lineup for the next

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>couple of days.

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:37.880
<v Speaker 9>There, Ramis, that's what sticked you off.

0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>No, it's nothing like that. Okay, it's people arguing with

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 1>me about common sense. Okay, I'm trying not to lose

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 1>it here. God alright, I'm trying to just like talk

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.679
<v Speaker 1>about something else, So I forget about it, Okay. Raymonds

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.359
<v Speaker 1>sterio surgery to repair the injury that force and miss

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Mania forty one. So I thought it was as groin.

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 1>It was actually as abductor, which is near your groin.

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been told. So he tore it. He's gonna be

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 1>out for a while. It was when he got yanked

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 1>out of the ring, just a normal bump, nothing weird

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>about it, and hurt himself. And by the way, I

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 1>don't really have an update on Leon Slater. If you

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>guys watched the TNA pay per view last night. Lord,

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 1>this guy did a cent on four p fifty onto

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:27.199
<v Speaker 1>about six guys, didn't hit one, not one of them,

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and splat on the ground. I thought he was dead

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 1>on a door nail. And he got right back up

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and kept working. But the impression that I got is

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>he definitely woke up sore, no kidding, I guess to

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 1>put it mildly.

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 9>Well, we now know why aj Francis played defensive line

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 9>at the University of Maryland instead of a tight end

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 9>because he's the biggest guy in the middle of that

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 9>pile of men who was supposed to catch him and

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 9>oops a little seven ten split there. I'm gonna ask

0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 9>both of because Brian, I know you have kind of

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 9>pushed back against this in the past, but dives from

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 9>a certain height, especially coming down doing four fifties on

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 9>top of somebody. Cody Hall, Scott Hall's son did get

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 9>injured while he was working with All Japan. I believe

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 9>that it was when somebody did a dive and he

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 9>didn't he was in the wrong position. But at some point,

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 9>I mean, aren't you putting guys necks and backs on

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 9>the line way too much? Because one slip of somebody

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 9>trying to get up to help you catch somebody, and

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 9>they push you over.

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, listen, I'll explain this.

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 9>Tell me why this is not insane.

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, i'll tell you it is insane a minute. But

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I spent too much time on Bryan and Vinnie last

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 1>night because I was formulating these things in my head.

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I have a much easier way to explain it now.

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 9>Okay, all right.

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 1>If you're jumping off something high, okay, where there's an

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>added danger to it because of the height, all right,

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you cannot do a vertical dive onto people standing vertically, Okay,

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 1>because what happened is it's just like you know whatever

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 1>now I'm seeing now I'm making.

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 10>It too force.

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 1>No, it's it's you're you're facing the same direction that

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 1>everyone else is facing, so you can just slide right

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>through them. It happens on Moon Salts, it happens on

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>as i Ez, It happens on Fourth. Anytime where you're

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>rotating on the vertical plane and people are standing vertically,

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you can like you can miss them. If you want

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to jump off something really high, you need to dive

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 1>horizontally onto people standing vertically. Then it's impossible to not

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.200
<v Speaker 1>catch you. Okay, Like there was a dive last night

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 1>when it was in that uh the street fight and

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.199
<v Speaker 1>who was it? Thing on all my notes right here,

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 1>it was Mustafa Ali went up onto like the second

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>level and he dove off onto Mike Santana and a

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 1>bunch of Ali's seconds. Okay, Well he did a high

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>cross and so like everybody caught him to the point

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>where nobody budged when they caught him, and then they

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:09.679
<v Speaker 1>all had to fall down, and it was it was silly,

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.879
<v Speaker 1>but it was safe. So going like vertically on a

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 1>vertical dude's fifteen feet in the air. I mean, it's

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 1>just it's too dangerous. He should have done a high

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 1>cross or like a torneo, a vertical torneo or something

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.400
<v Speaker 1>where like you can't not be caught. But like Charlotte

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>does the moon salt off the post. You know, people

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>miss her hangman.

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 9>More than ever. Now people hit that moon salt and

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 9>split people.

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Well they land on their feet now because they know

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to be caught, right because it's really

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 1>hard to catch that way.

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:44.439
<v Speaker 8>So anyway, well, also the angle he was going at

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 8>was not conducive to catching anybody. No, staying safe. No,

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.639
<v Speaker 8>as well. You know, like if you're jumping off of

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 8>a structure, you're not going straight down. You're usually running

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 8>and jumping, you know what I mean. So you're clearing

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 8>a greater distance and you're not coming at somebody from

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 8>the top at the top of their head. You're coming

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:05.400
<v Speaker 8>at them where you could.

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 10>See the person.

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 8>This was just dangerous on all all.

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the easiest catch makes it sick. Yeah. The easiest

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>catch is when you and your opponent are at ninety

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 1>degree angles, so you're vertical they come at you horizontally,

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 1>or you're horizontal and they come at you vertically or whatever.

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.119
<v Speaker 1>You never see a splash where like one guy's feet

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 1>are facing the turnbuckles and then you jump off and

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:29.119
<v Speaker 1>you squish them like this. You would never see that

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>be stupid.

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I don't want to give too much away, but

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 8>a lot of times, if I'm gonna catch somebody on

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 8>a moon salt, you know, I'll ask this person where

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:41.159
<v Speaker 8>do you want me to be? Do you want me

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 8>to catch you or do you want me to like

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 8>shoot underneath you so that you land over the top

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 8>of me and like smack on my shoulders. And it

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 8>seems as if nowadays that's the preferred method because people

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 8>cannot you know, you can't rely on somebody else to

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 8>catch you.

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, think about what the old moon salt even used

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:02.679
<v Speaker 1>to be. It used to be you would stand facing

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>away from your opponent and when you jumped, you would

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, you know, if they were gonna catch

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 1>you standing, you would jump and twist and would kind

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:13.199
<v Speaker 1>of be like a high cross. It wasn't. And if

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you were, if you were gonna do it onto the mat,

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you would be you know, you would do it normal

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and they would be horizontal to you. But it's recent

0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 1>where it's like I'm gonna do a moon salt and

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna catch me standing, but I'm gonna still commit

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you vertically. So all you see your knees, there's knees

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:32.040
<v Speaker 1>flying at your face, and you know, you just get

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 1>the heck out of the way and then they crash.

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, how do we even get into that? Oh,

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Leon Slater, Leon Slater was hurting this morning. God, that's

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>what's That's why it's nice to be twenty. Ryan Danielson

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>is not twenty. He's forty three, and he was asked

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.120
<v Speaker 1>about rustling again and he said, no inclination, no desire.

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:59.359
<v Speaker 1>He said, six months leading my last match were so hard.

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 9>My was so bad.

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 1>There's things I couldn't do, he said. Is One of

0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:07.359
<v Speaker 1>his final matches was Okada on October tewod Dynamite. The

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:10.159
<v Speaker 1>rules were Ocatta's Continental championship was on the line for

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>just the first twenty minutes. He said, the story should

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 1>be I'm pushing, pushing, pushing, trying to get the fall

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 1>downe in the first twenty minutes, but my legs couldn't

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>do it. So that was the point where I was like,

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not physically able to do some of the things

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>I should that this story requires me to do. He

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:31.439
<v Speaker 1>has not gotten next surgery. He's he's trying stem cells.

0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>He still may need surgery, but he wants to avoid it.

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 1>So I would not even expecting a lot of Brian

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Danielson matches down the road here. What about you, Tom?

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 1>What about you? And like stem cells or something. You're

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>very crooked.

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:53.360
<v Speaker 10>More whysically, emotionally, You're a little.

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Crooked in a lot of ways. But I mean, golly,

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 1>when we were hanging out in Vegas, I was like,

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>this guy looks like he's hurting.

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 9>He needs to go. What's the person you go to?

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not a chiro, Well he should start with just

0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a chiropractor and just try to like get straight.

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 10>And then you've seen the witch doctor before, No, you haven't.

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.119
<v Speaker 1>He'd take one look at you and he'd be like,

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I don't know. Do you have

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>one of those Oh yeah, you did show me. You

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>showed me your kids thing outside where you hang upside down?

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:28.919
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, You're like, oh, do you have the structure gimmick,

0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:34.679
<v Speaker 9>the backstretching gimmick by his legs? Right?

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:36.160
<v Speaker 2>All? Yeah?

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Does it help?

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 8>I don't think anybody wants to hear about this.

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 1>You mean you don't want to talk about it? Yeah, okay,

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:49.879
<v Speaker 1>just trying to help. Hul Cogan and Eric Bischoff are

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 1>allegedly reuniting for a new project with a mystery third man.

0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Why did I start this?

0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 9>At this point?

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I could talk about this for hours. Okay. First off,

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it's probably like a podcast or something. There's no way

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to start a wrestling promotion, like it's just

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:11.920
<v Speaker 1>number one, you know, Come on, Houlkin and Bischoff starting

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 1>a wrestling promotion. The very idea is preposterous. But I

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:18.840
<v Speaker 1>mean even if, like even if they had Vince McMahon

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 1>along with him and he had all this money, It's like,

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 1>where are you gonna get talent? You know what I'm saying?

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Like all of the best talent, for the most part

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>is like signed somewhere, and like if you're not signed

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to one of those two places, why would you go

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>with Hogan and Eric and not you know, wait for

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:35.200
<v Speaker 1>one of those other two places.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:36.399

<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Tom doesn't want me to make any mention of anything,

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:19.680

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about some stuff, but I'm not

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna maybe maybe later this week. Maybe later this week.

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 9>You know, you know what it is, Go ahead, you

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 9>know what it is.

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like I really want AW to succeed, and like

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I see these things that happen all the time, and

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like they're little things that add up. But I always

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 1>bang heads with these absolute hardcore AW fans who want

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>like nothing to change, Like everything is fine and everything

0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is good, and why do we need this is a

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 1>big one. Why do we need video packages? It's okay

0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>for the announcer to just say something, I don't want

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 1>video package. I don't want to be a hammer. It's

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 1>just like, God, come on, man, Like this is basic

0:32:04.080 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>common sense business to like have video packages on all

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 1>your shows in case people missed it. Okay, I know

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you who are arguing with me. Never misses a show.

0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I know you who are arguing with me. If you

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 1>do miss a show, you find some way to go back.

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:22.320
<v Speaker 1>And okay, that's not everybody, and that's not even most people.

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you understand this guy today? Now I'm off? He

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>says to me, are you ready?

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, because I was arguing about why we needed

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 1>video packages for like, you know, RAPONGI Vice apparently like

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 1>they reunited and turned heel and like, I missed one show.

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what's going on? And he says,

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 1>for God's sake, use your TV time to reward your

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:48.880
<v Speaker 1>viewers who are watching, not to catch up the people

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 1>who I may have missed the show because it was

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania week. Okay, bro, come on listen. First off, that's

0:32:56.560 --> 0:33:00.160
<v Speaker 1>that's passive aggressive behavior. Okay, So the promotion is to

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:02.720
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, you skipped our show for another show,

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Well screw you, We're not gonna We're not gonna tell

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you what happened. You know you should have watched our show.

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 1>That to me, as a fan, makes me feel like, dude, really,

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like there was a lot of shows that weekend. I

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 1>had other stuff. I'm not cheating on you because there's

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.680
<v Speaker 1>other stuff that I had to watch, dude, like if

0:33:20.720 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the angle's important, like do a replay or whatever. And

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 1>then the other thing is here's the thing about. Yes,

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you should reward your fans. You should you know your

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>loyal fans or loyal fans and everything like that. But

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you, this isn't wrestling, guys. This is business. Okay.

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 1>You own a business and X number of customers visit

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>your business regularly. Okay, they're regular customers. Okay, no matter

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 1>how well you treat them. If you have five hundred customers, okay,

0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>regular customers, over the course of five years, you will

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 1>not have those same five hundred customers anymore. Okay. Some

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 1>of them are going to die, some of them are

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>going to move. Some of them, no matter how loyal

0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 1>they are, they're going to find another store nearby. And so,

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:13.879
<v Speaker 1>no matter what business you have, no matter how many

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 1>customers or clients or whatever you have, you will always

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>slowly be losing them. And if you do not replace

0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:28.000
<v Speaker 1>them with new customers, you will go out of business.

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:31.959
<v Speaker 1>You will slowly trickle down and your business will die.

0:34:32.760 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 1>There's one at the bottom of the hill. It's called

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Right Aid. Okay, the same people have been going to

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 1>this Right Aid for seventy five years. I wandered in

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:45.239
<v Speaker 1>there the other day. There's no one there under the

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 1>age of seventy five. They're all the same old people.

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Right Aid is not getting new young people to go

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to their store. They're and you know what, the show

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>will The store will remain in business until tragically those

0:34:58.000 --> 0:35:01.400
<v Speaker 1>people die, and then they will have no other customers. Okay,

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't care how much you like aw You are

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 1>slowly going to lose viewers, and if you don't replace

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>them with new viewers, the show will trickle into death. Okay, Now,

0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 1>how do you get new viewers to watch the show? Well,

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 1>if they miss a show, you help bring them up

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 1>to speed. If they miss an angle, you help bring

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.760
<v Speaker 1>them up to speed. You don't punish them for missing

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a show. You don't say you know what, you should

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:34.080
<v Speaker 1>have watched over Mania weekend, or you should have flown

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:36.800
<v Speaker 1>home on Tuesday and found a way to watch collisions

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 1>so you know what happens. You don't act passive aggressive

0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:43.759
<v Speaker 1>to the people who are not the die hard fans. Yes,

0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:46.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're a hardcore fan, you can like give them

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a little extra or whatever, you know, treat them right.

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:53.760
<v Speaker 1>But you must create a new audience. You must presume

0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:57.799
<v Speaker 1>every show your goal is to create a new fan.

0:35:59.280 --> 0:35:59.600
<v Speaker 9>That's it.

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Why is this even an argument. There's a reason that

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:09.520
<v Speaker 1>WWE now is significantly larger than they were in twenty nineteen.

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:13.320
<v Speaker 1>They didn't just please the fans they had in twenty nineteen.

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:16.880
<v Speaker 1>In twenty nineteen, they were losing fans hand over fist.

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.920
<v Speaker 1>So they found a way to not only replace the

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>fans that they lost, but also create new fans on

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:28.400
<v Speaker 1>top of that. So if they had one thousand fans

0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just using an easy number, and they've lost five

0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred of them over the last six years, they not

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 1>only have got five hundred new fans to replace those people,

0:36:39.280 --> 0:36:42.160
<v Speaker 1>but they've created another five hundred new fans on top

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 1>of that, because now they have fifteen hundred fans. Okay,

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:51.080
<v Speaker 1>so how did they do that? Well, every show you're

0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>led by the hand because you may be a new

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:57.319
<v Speaker 1>viewer on any given day. I miss a show here

0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.040
<v Speaker 1>and there, like I missed I think I missed this

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 1>week's n XT. I think I missed a show, but like,

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I have no question what's going on because they told

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 1>me everything when I tuned in on the next show.

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:15.399
<v Speaker 1>Unlike aw were oftentimes I miss one show, not even

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Dynamite a collision. I miss one show, and then next

0:37:19.440 --> 0:37:23.279
<v Speaker 1>time I watched the show, I'm like, Trent's back, he's

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a heel. No, it's not enough to say Trent and

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Rocky reunited. They did. I even asked tamout, like I said,

0:37:30.520 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 1>what happened? He goes? They they got involved in a

0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:37.120
<v Speaker 1>match afterwards. I was like, against who he goes? I

0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:39.600
<v Speaker 1>don't remember it was against Uh, He's like trying to

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 1>remember what happened. They could have just showed just what happened,

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 1>unless it's not important, in which case don't. Okay, but

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:52.879
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to think that Raponkivice reuniting and Trent coming

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>back and being healthy enough to wrestle, and in Rocky

0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 1>turning heel and being a new tag team. Now, I

0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.760
<v Speaker 1>like to think that's important. So like, show me what happened.

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.800
<v Speaker 1>If I miss the show, I just feel like I

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.279
<v Speaker 1>argue the same thing over and over and I'm just

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.680
<v Speaker 1>like pushed back on. No, we don't need recaps. No,

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>we don't need recaps. It's up to the fans. It's

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 1>up to the fans to figure out what's going on.

0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:16.200
<v Speaker 1>It's up to the fans to like what is going

0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 1>on with Jeff, Jared and the oddities. I don't have

0:38:19.239 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>any idea. I have to make it up in my head.

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:25.080
<v Speaker 1>What's happening here.

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:28.080
<v Speaker 9>That doesn't seem ideal? And you know what, Rocky and

0:38:28.200 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 9>Trend are back together. There were pong Ice. Maybe you

0:38:31.120 --> 0:38:32.799
<v Speaker 9>ought to explain that to everybody who is.

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know how many people have never even heard

0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of her Pongkivice.

0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:41.080
<v Speaker 9>A lot look Kenny Omega and Kazuchko Okada. For a

0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:43.879
<v Speaker 9>lot of people who never saw Kazuchko Okada in New Japan,

0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 9>they cannot look at him in his aw form and

0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:48.600
<v Speaker 9>get the fact that he was one of the great

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:52.759
<v Speaker 9>wrestlers I frankly of all time. And frankly, Omega and

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 9>Okada together and New Japan were did amazing things. Like

0:38:57.360 --> 0:38:59.880
<v Speaker 9>you may need to explain this backstory a lot more.

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 9>Otherwise it's just this guy who is a complete cartoon

0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 9>who drops you know, the B word constantly. It's like,

0:39:09.200 --> 0:39:12.439
<v Speaker 9>you know, okay, Yeah, his reputation is there. Start showing

0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:15.160
<v Speaker 9>video packages, start hyping this thing up. It's supposed to

0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 9>be one of the cornerstones of your WrestleMania show coming up,

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.480
<v Speaker 9>and Okada is still playing goofball with Hangman Page. I mean,

0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 9>that's something you got to drive home to people that

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:26.040
<v Speaker 9>don't know about their story to try to make them

0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 9>care about it.

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:30.239
<v Speaker 1>See, I watched that TNA pl e. I went live

0:39:30.480 --> 0:39:32.560
<v Speaker 1>over Wrestlmingia weekend, went to TNA. I had a good

0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 1>time at a fun time. The next day, Joe Hendry

0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:38.680
<v Speaker 1>shows up at WrestleMania and whatever you think about the

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>whole thing, it's like, wow, you know there's a TNA

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>World Champion on WrestleMania. And so like this week over

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, you know, me, Vine and Craig, all of

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:49.760
<v Speaker 1>us were like, man, let's watch that TNA pay per view. Okay,

0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:54.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on. I don't watch TNA. Okay. So,

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 1>like I watched the pay per view, and I will

0:39:56.680 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 1>say they did a pretty good job. But as a

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 1>first time viewer, there were things where it's like, who

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:06.719
<v Speaker 1>is this woman running in and why? And then they

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:08.440
<v Speaker 1>like the best they did was they threw her name

0:40:08.480 --> 0:40:10.840
<v Speaker 1>out and I was like, that doesn't help. Who is she?

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Why is she interfering? And then you know, they kind

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:15.719
<v Speaker 1>of explained it there at the end, but like they

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 1>had video packages for all the matches, and I would say,

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I largely was kind of brought up to

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 1>speed by how they did things on the pay per view,

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but they could have done better. And yes, as a fan,

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 1>it does irritate me when WWE presumes they have a

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 1>new audience and Michael Cole goes into Michael Cole mode

0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 1>where he has to over explain everything. But you know what,

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 1>if I'm really a fan of WWE, then I will

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:46.440
<v Speaker 1>accept that because the point of it is to create

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>new fans and grow the product and the business so

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:54.919
<v Speaker 1>I can watch a show and see seventeen thousand people

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 1>there going haywire for everything that's going on, It's worth

0:40:58.239 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>it to me as a fan to suffer a little

0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:03.279
<v Speaker 1>bit with something that I find a little irritating if

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:05.879
<v Speaker 1>it's for the good of the entire company. And it's

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:09.719
<v Speaker 1>the same thing with a W and TNA and everyone else. Yes,

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you may not like recaps, that's fine, but do you

0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 1>like a W because if you're a fan, you should

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:20.600
<v Speaker 1>accept those because there's a reason for them, and it's

0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:27.600
<v Speaker 1>called growing your business. Golly, I'm sorry, everybody.

0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 9>Sorry, needed to be said. It needed to be said, boss.

0:41:32.920 --> 0:41:33.880
<v Speaker 9>These people need to know.

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 8>Enough said.

0:41:35.680 --> 0:41:39.040
<v Speaker 1>How'd you like SmackDown, Tom? You're a Smackdow reviewer.

0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:40.919
<v Speaker 8>I thought it was a really good show.

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 10>I mean that main event five stars, if you ask me,

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:46.920
<v Speaker 10>that was pretty awesome.

0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:53.360
<v Speaker 8>TLC match between the Street Profits DIY and MotorCity machine

0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:55.880
<v Speaker 8>Guns off the charts.

0:41:55.600 --> 0:42:02.359
<v Speaker 10>And no commercials, not even I will yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 8>Anyways, I watched it, you know, start to finish, and

0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 8>it was fantastic, Like I said, but it wasn't overly dangerous,

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:13.120
<v Speaker 8>you know what I mean. Sometimes some of these matches

0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:16.439
<v Speaker 8>rely on stuff that is just so over the top

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.400
<v Speaker 8>and violent, and this was not one of those. This

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 8>was creative. It hit all the right spots at the

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:26.920
<v Speaker 8>right times. And I think it's, you know, one of

0:42:27.000 --> 0:42:29.560
<v Speaker 8>the god one of the best tag matches of the year.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.120
<v Speaker 8>You don't think it's, Brian, Is this up there with

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:37.480
<v Speaker 8>your vaunted speed jet Take it on? The Young Bucks

0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:40.560
<v Speaker 8>from last week were the best tag matches of the

0:42:40.640 --> 0:42:41.359
<v Speaker 8>year in one week.

0:42:41.640 --> 0:42:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh It's like, who's the speed jet?

0:42:44.800 --> 0:42:45.360
<v Speaker 9>I got it.

0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was a great match, that Young Bucks match.

0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:49.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, you know, there was one difference

0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:53.359
<v Speaker 1>between the the Young Bucks match and that TLC match.

0:42:55.760 --> 0:43:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I like the aw commentary team a lot, but holyokes,

0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:04.160
<v Speaker 1>this Joe Testitur. I told you, bro, I told you. Hey, listen,

0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:06.440
<v Speaker 1>people think I won't admit I was wrong. Man, I

0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:08.480
<v Speaker 1>was wrong, Dude. I thought, oh my god, here we

0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 1>are bringing another guy from outside of wrestling. He has

0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:14.239
<v Speaker 1>a sports background. They've done this countless times. They come

0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:18.719
<v Speaker 1>and go. It's like, you know, but this guy is

0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:22.640
<v Speaker 1>not only great, but he is the best commentator in WWE.

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.320
<v Speaker 1>He's better than Wade Barrett. I mean, he's better than everybody.

0:43:26.480 --> 0:43:29.240
<v Speaker 1>He's better than Corey Graves. I know people love Corey Graves.

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Joe Testador is the best commentator in all of WWE.

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:36.360
<v Speaker 1>He is freaking awesome. He's miles better than Michael Cole.

0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:37.800
<v Speaker 1>He's just great.

0:43:39.160 --> 0:43:43.640
<v Speaker 10>Jiminey Christmas, you know, is this the strongest commentary team

0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:44.240
<v Speaker 10>they've had.

0:43:46.200 --> 0:43:50.160
<v Speaker 8>Bottom Definitely in a long time, I would say, But really.

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:53.759
<v Speaker 9>Your bench is essentially Corey Graves in NXT, who was

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:56.680
<v Speaker 9>fantastic at what he does. I mean, you know, you

0:43:56.760 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 9>see where they're at.

0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's he's something else, dude. And there's like no

0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:05.960
<v Speaker 1>bad commentators. Some people will say Booker t but like

0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:11.319
<v Speaker 1>he entertains me. He's not the sole commentator. He's he's

0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 1>like he's color commentary. What's color commentary supposed to be?

0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Brings some color to the show. I got a guy

0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:20.200
<v Speaker 1>calling all the moves and everything like that and telling

0:44:20.200 --> 0:44:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the stories, and then you got Booker saying shucky ducky

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:28.000
<v Speaker 1>quack quack here and there. It makes me laugh, makes

0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:31.759
<v Speaker 1>me mad. He brings emotion out of me much better

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:32.919
<v Speaker 1>than a robot.

0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:35.480
<v Speaker 9>Which is what you want out of these guys. Like

0:44:35.560 --> 0:44:38.280
<v Speaker 9>there's people that don't like Joe tessitur doing football, college

0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:41.320
<v Speaker 9>football and other things, but that's Gus Johnson is another

0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:44.040
<v Speaker 9>person who's a lightning rod. But you're also not going

0:44:44.120 --> 0:44:46.680
<v Speaker 9>to watch the game because they're on there. Pat McAfee

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 9>can be really annoying sometimes and maybe you know, it's

0:44:51.040 --> 0:44:52.799
<v Speaker 9>we'll see how it goes with the gun. Third thing,

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:55.320
<v Speaker 9>maybe they should give him some time off, you know,

0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:59.000
<v Speaker 9>before he comes back. But it's break time back in.

0:44:59.040 --> 0:44:59.960
<v Speaker 1>A moment Observer Live.

0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 2>You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez

0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:21.160
<v Speaker 2>and Mike simper Vivi on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network.

0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:26.720
<v Speaker 1>In the show, Brian Albarez here Wrestling Observer Alive, Lance

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:29.200
<v Speaker 1>texta he goes, I just watched a Bosh Legacy on

0:45:29.239 --> 0:45:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Amazon as a streaming series. Nobody is watching episode four

0:45:32.680 --> 0:45:35.759
<v Speaker 1>without seeing episode one. However, they do a previously on

0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:39.520
<v Speaker 1>recap before every episode just to remind you of important

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:41.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff on the previous show because people with a life

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:42.800
<v Speaker 1>can't remember everything.

0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:47.200
<v Speaker 9>Yes, yeah, yeah, some people shade, but it's true.

0:45:48.000 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 8>Guess what they do before every single fight in the

0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:54.080
<v Speaker 8>UFC They show you a little recap about the guy

0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:56.120
<v Speaker 8>because more than likely you don't know who the hell

0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 8>they are if throw on the undercard.

0:45:57.800 --> 0:45:59.120
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, but it helps a lot.

0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:01.839
<v Speaker 1>It does help a lot. Tom, what do you got
