Speaker 1: Battle and Ela.

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: You know what really sucks. The bad thing about technology

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 4: With the amount of money to pay, you think it's

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: gonna work every time, but it doesn't.

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: You think it's gonna work. And that's what kind of

32
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: happened with the episode that was supposed to drop Monday

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: morning at ten am, but we had some technical difficulties.

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: But we are re recording the episode. We got about

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: twenty minutes into taping the Battleground podcast, which is a

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: weekly podcast all about professional wrestling. We got about twenty

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: minutes in and everything just kind of like went to shit,

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: and it's like good, kind of like a McDonald's drive

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: through speaker.

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, or the or the McDonald's ice cream machine.

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Well that too, but yeah, so we are re recording

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: the show. We got a lot of talk, a lot

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: of things to talk about. Of course, we're not going

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: to go into too much details about what happened over

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: the weekend with Tesla Blencher. We're going to kind of

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: talk about a little bit about it, but we really

47
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: want to talk about the big news of the facts

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: that Nick Aldas showed up at Ring of Honor. Over

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: the weekend, Marty Scroll and his new deal with NWA

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: and Ring of Honor and all of them that he

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: can do now with Ring of Honor, and kind of

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: something that was a very interesting thing that happened during

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: Hard to Kill, which we weren't really going to talk

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: about this because we were recording the show before Hard

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: to Kill. But during Hard to Kill they announced that

56
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: Brian Cage and signed with a W and then Brian

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: Cage shocked the world afterwards, and we'll kind of talk

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: about that, but yeah, welcome to the show. I will

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: start the introductions even though we've parready.

60
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a good intro.

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Well, we'll do the introductions now. This is the Battleground Podcast.

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: This is a podcast and I'm your host Battle along

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: with my tag team partner Eli. Hello, and we're here

64
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: to talk about wrestling and what's going on in the

65
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: world of professional wrestling. So let's just kind of jump

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: right into it. Like I said, we're not gonna spend

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: too much time on this situation. But if you didn't know,

68
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: or if you've been living under a rock, over the weekend,

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: there was a big thing happening. Tessa Blanchard was wrestling

70
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: for the World Heavyweight title Sunday night, and over the weekend,

71
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: she had sent out a tweet saying, hey, women, try

72
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: supporting one another. Cool thing's happen. And the next thing,

73
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: you know, that literally opened the floodgates and everybody started

74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: coming out after her.

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: It was a wild weekend.

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was like we were sitting there scrolling

77
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: through Twitter and I was like, why is Tessa Blanchard trending?

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: I was thinking, Okay, well, maybe they're hyping this up

79
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: because I mean, Impact has been spending a lot of money,

80
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: and there was like tea, there was radio commercials running

81
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: all NonStop about this match, and then it was that

82
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: and I look and it's like Chelsea Green was like,

83
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: you've constantly put down bullyt belittle countless female workers, including me,

84
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: and is that support? And then the thing, I guess

85
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: the shot heard around the world was Alison k who's

86
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: the current NWA champion, sent out a tweet right after

87
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: Tessa's was and it was like, remember when you spent

88
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: in a black women's face and called her The inward

89
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 2: in Japan was that you? And then quotations supporting women.

90
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: The audacity of this tweet.

91
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's it's like we were saying in the

92
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: aborted episode we started to record before the technology brought

93
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: us down. You know, these aren't just fans speculating, and

94
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: it's not like I was at this show and this

95
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: is what I saw. I mean, like, these are people.

96
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: And it's not some indie wrestler trying to out there.

97
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: No. I mean Chelsea's was an impact. She was the

98
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: women's champion. She's now in NXT, she's engaged Zach Ryder

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: Alison k We worked an impact, She's now the WA

100
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: women's World champion. I mean, these are like a big

101
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: swoll got involved in it. She was name. Yeah, I

102
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: mean I think that's kind of what added so much

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: fuel to the fire, was it these were established, known people,

104
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: you know, so you know, in case you're also living

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 4: under rocks. Uh. You know she did win the world

106
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: title last night. Technically Lucha Underground did it with Sexy Star.

107
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: You know, she's been blackballed from the industry because she

108
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 4: tried to injure somebody while she was in a match.

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 4: So I never really classified luc Underground as like a

110
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: you know, like a I don't know, like a real

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: federation like they didn't travel, they didn't do house shows.

112
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: It was more of a TV show. And I'm not

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 4: taking anything a roster. Oh, I'm not taking anything away

114
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: from Like when I got back into wrestling about five

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: years ago, I saw like three episodes of that and row.

116
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 4: I had the l Ray channel and that's the channel

117
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: it came on. And I mean I had seen things

118
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: that I had never seen before in a wrestling ring,

119
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: like I I mean, just blown away.

120
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: It was crazy. Love was the the Vamparo deathmatch, and

121
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: I can't remember it was like maybe his disciple or

122
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: somebody videos maybe, Oh it's him and Pentagon. And that's

123
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: how I figured out who Pentagon was because there was

124
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: that whole storyline with those.

125
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: Two and it was well why it was basically you know,

126
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: Impact guys, Ring of Honor guys and then some new

127
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 4: Japan and Mexican you know, like AA guys, and they

128
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: were all just on the rock, Like Jeff Cobb was

129
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: on there, Joey Ryan Cage, Willie Macko to Ricochet who's

130
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: now in w W uh Ray mysterio, uh I said,

131
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: Jeff Cobb.

132
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Luca brothers were there.

133
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: Luca brothers, both of them were there. The Jack Evans and.

134
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: I mean they had a who's who of like your

135
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: big name Indie Gads.

136
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean it was incredible. I mean, I

137
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: never I'm not taking anything away from from the program.

138
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: I wish it would I don't know if it's officially canceled.

139
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: I think it is canceled, though, but I wish it

140
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: would expanded. I wish it really would have became a

141
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: real organization that traveled, did house shows and stuff. But

142
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: it just seemed like it was just a TV show.

143
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: So not knocking them or anything, but for most practical purposes,

144
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: this is the first time a woman has won the

145
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: world title in a big wrestling company. So even though

146
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: Lucia did at first, I still wouldn't classify them as

147
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: a big company. So it is historic. I mean, it

148
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: is something we're going to be talking about for you know,

149
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: the next ten, fifteen, twenty, fifty hundred years. Unfortunately, this

150
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 4: does have a little bit of a black cloud over it,

151
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: and you know, it's a I'll kind of paraphrase what

152
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: I was saying in the aborted episode we had to cancel,

153
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: but uh, you know, part of it is this whole

154
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 4: the me too movement and all this that's happened in

155
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: the last you know, three to five years. But you know,

156
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: I'm always going to believe the victim. You know, there's

157
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 4: so many reports and studies out there that just show

158
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 4: how many people do not report stuff and they're scared

159
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: to and this and this and this, and so for

160
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 4: the people that are brave enough to come forward, whether

161
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: they're lying or not, I'm still gonna like listen to

162
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 4: them and believe them. You know. On the other hand,

163
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: I'm not a big fan of the you know, the

164
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: cancel movement, I guess is what they call it where,

165
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: you know, so it says canceled or whatever. I'm not

166
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: talking about serial killers and rapists, and I'm not talking

167
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: about that kind of stuff. I'm talking about people growing

168
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 4: and maturing and having a second chance. And you know,

169
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: I don't believe short of those people obviously i'm referring to,

170
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 4: but I mean, I don't believe, you know, there isn't

171
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: redemption and that you can't grow from this and learn

172
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: from this. And you know, obviously impact has a very

173
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 4: big you know, they're they're they're hitching the wagon onto her,

174
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: and she's had offers from aw and I'm sure wwe

175
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: wants her, and you know, there is some positives that

176
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: can come from this. I believe she's only I think

177
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: twenty six or twenty seven. I mean, you know, I'm

178
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 4: not the same person I was when I was twenty

179
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 4: five or twenty six, you know.

180
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: And right, and that's when you kind of give you know,

181
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm not saying what I'm not like defending or anything,

182
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: but it's like you give them the benefit of the

183
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: doubt that when you're younger, you say and do stupid things.

184
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: But the one thing is like the history behind that word.

185
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 2: And we're not gonna get political, Like I don't I'm

186
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: not trying to get political, but the history behind that word,

187
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: and you know, depending on how she said it or this,

188
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: that and the other, it's it's not something that should

189
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: come out no matter what. The heat of the moment is.

190
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 4: Right, and that's and that's what we were saying, is

191
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 4: just like you know, say say it is like, oh,

192
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: I was just in the heat of the moment and

193
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: that's what I said, and like I get that, but like,

194
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: you know, the person she said that to was African

195
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 4: American and so I I mean, I don't know, just

196
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 4: my brain and I don't have the best brain in

197
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: the world. But I mean my brain, I can think

198
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 4: of fifty other words to say right now, you know

199
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: what I mean. Like, it's just it's there's a lot

200
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 4: of stuff. Oh yeah, I mean there's just odd I mean,

201
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: even the standby just calling her a bitch, you know

202
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: what I mean. Like, I think there's a lot of

203
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: things you could have said in lieu of that in

204
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: the heat of the moment. And I get it, you're

205
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: you know, you lose your temper and blah blah blah.

206
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: I get it. But it's it is a head scratcher

207
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: based on you know, she did she did date African

208
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 4: American and now she's dating.

209
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: A is he I think he's Hispanic?

210
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: Hispanic?

211
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so engaged, I believe.

212
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. So she's obviously not dating white people. And you know,

213
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: again that doesn't necessarily mean she's not racist. But you know,

214
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: you've got people like Tommy Dreamer going to bat for

215
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: and uh Scorpio skyposted something and they're both just class acts.

216
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: You know, we interviewed them both last year, and I

217
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 4: mean they're both.

218
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: Just moves going for to bat and you know a

219
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: lot of people are not you know, the wrestling community

220
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: is kind of an interesting community because I mean, who

221
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: Cogan when he said it, they pretty much crucified him.

222
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: But you know, Hogan used it more as in a

223
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: regular conversation, not a I'm pissed off at you kind but.

224
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, hey, what do you want on

225
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: your pizza? Chicken? You know, I want a chicken bacon

226
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 4: ranch also f the ends, you know, like it was

227
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 4: just a casual conversation, right, It wasn't in the heat

228
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: of the moment or anything, so definitely, and it's you know,

229
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: I think I think that's the point, is just every

230
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 4: situation needs to be handled on a situation by a

231
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: situation basis, and it's not a it's not just a

232
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: net over everything, like oh you did this, You're done.

233
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 4: I never want to see you wrestling again. I never

234
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: want to see you on TV. And I don't think

235
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: that's fair, you know, I you know, you kind of

236
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: go back to a sin as a sin is a sin,

237
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: and I don't think so. I mean, if I'm speeding,

238
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: if I'm doing fifty five and a forty, that's not

239
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 4: the same thing as calling someone an African American the

240
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 4: inward to their face. That is completely not the same

241
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: thing whatsoever. So so we'll see, you know we again.

242
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 4: Like you said, I'm not trying to get political, and

243
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: you know, we I'm not, We're not making a stance

244
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: or anything. It's just you know, we I think we're

245
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: we're all hoping that there's a positive out come from this.

246
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: And I hope that you know, them putting the belts

247
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 4: on her and then putting the trust of the company

248
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: doesn't get overshadowed by this, you know all.

249
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: That, right, And you know, we kind of went back

250
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: and forth over it, and it was like, you know,

251
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: I was talking to a buddy of mine and we

252
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: were talking about, you know, what's the feeling like, because

253
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: you know, I've got a friend that does some stuff

254
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: with them, and you know, it's like, it's just this

255
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: weird feeling. It came at a pretty bad time and

256
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 2: all this other stuff, and you know, me and you

257
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: kind of went back and forth texting about it, and

258
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, they're gonna have to squash this

259
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: match because they don't want the negativity behind it if

260
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: she wins the match, because there's that asterisk next to it.

261
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: And like I went back and just watched that match

262
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: and I'm sitting there watching the beginning and Sammy Callahan

263
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: like gets her that pal driver and I was like,

264
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: holy shit, like they're literally about to do this right now,

265
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 2: and she's literally about to lose this match within the

266
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: first ten seconds and the match and I sent it

267
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: out on Twitter that that match right there lasted about

268
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four minutes to give or take. I was like,

269
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: that match had potential to be Match of the Year

270
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: and we're only you know, thirteen days into January. A

271
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: lot of false finishes, everybody was on their seat and

272
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: you know, people were behind Tessa, and you know, once

273
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: the match was over, like I didn't see anybody sitting down.

274
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: I didn't see anybody leaving to go time to go

275
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: home kind of thing. And she made a speech afterwards

276
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: about the thing. But you know, with the situation, she

277
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: she'll probably wait and let everything kind of like cool

278
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: down and then come and say something kind of like

279
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: Corey Graves did when everybody was busting his balls about

280
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: him and Camilla Kamela whatever, and like you were an

281
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: adultery blah blah blah got accused. Three days later, he

282
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: finally came out and was like, this is what happened.

283
00:14:53,120 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I mean we were talking about maybe you

284
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: know what is ov ohio versus everyone. You know, maybe

285
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: maybe there's a segment where they jump her backstage and

286
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: then they're like, oh, she's not medically cleared, so we're

287
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: gonna throw in Ken Shamrock whatever. I know he fought

288
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: somebody else, but anyways, you know, just somebody in or

289
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: just have Ove cost her the match or something.

290
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: But that way she didn't lose clean still protect her.

291
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: But then yeah, so, I mean I guess they're just

292
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 4: full steam ahead, you know, like this has been a

293
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: long time coming, and they planted the seat and I

294
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: have to say, this is something we were talking about

295
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: before the feed went down. But I mean they built

296
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: up this rivalry perfectly. I mean, I don't know who

297
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: was booking it. I know Dreamers doing some stuff booking

298
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: and some other people w w NS take notes like

299
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 4: this was perfect. This was a better build up to

300
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: this happening than Becky uh and Ronda at WrestleMania last year.

301
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 4: I mean, it was awesome.

302
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: So and by no means do we want to see

303
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: Becky go up against like Roman or brock Lesner just

304
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: saying that, but I mean, she's she could the Vince McMahon.

305
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: This is good ship.

306
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: Let's do it a lot of meat in the ring tonight.

307
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, we don't want to see that. But Impact

308
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: did an amazing job at that and they did a

309
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: really good job handling it and everything will kind of

310
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: see what's going to happen. But another thing that kind

311
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: of happened, and this can be a good transition to

312
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: the next topic we're going to talk about, is Brian Cage.

313
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: So that night, Brian Cage wrestled RVD and right that

314
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: was his last match under the Impact contract, and literally

315
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: after that match was over, within the pay per view,

316
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: every dirt sheet out there reported, uh, Brian Cage had

317
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: signed with AW And I'm like, dude, didn't even have

318
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: time to like go get stitched in the back, like

319
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: busted his lip open. The reports were already that he

320
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: had signed with a W and that he's leaving. And

321
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: then of course, now then me and you were kind

322
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: of going back and forth. Speculator was like, Oh my god,

323
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: how awesome is it gonna be to see him and

324
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: Kenney Omega to finally fight after that photo happened, or

325
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: maybe him and pot go at it and then like

326
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: that pretty much kind of like took a little bit

327
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: of this steme out of hard to kill because that

328
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: was all that anybody was talking about.

329
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I agree, like and then of course he

330
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 4: made a comment about he hadn't sign anything, and then

331
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: his wife popped up and said he didn't sign anything.

332
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 4: So now we're just kind of like, okay, so you know,

333
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if

334
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 4: he goes somewhere else, him and him and his wife,

335
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: she was also on Looch Underground. They just had a kid,

336
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: I think last year or the year before, And I mean,

337
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 4: if you're gonna go somewhere with more money or the

338
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: same money but less states or something bigger audience, whatever,

339
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 4: I mean, like, why wouldn't you do it?

340
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: So especially him having a kid, because remember I did,

341
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: and this could be maybe one of those unreleased tapes.

342
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: I did an interview with him when and when he

343
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: was wrestling Johnny Impact at the time the title last year. Yeah,

344
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: and they were doing radio interviews and I called him

345
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: and he's like he called us at the studio phone.

346
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: He's like, hey, man, I'm at Disney with my family.

347
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 2: And I was like, Okay, well this is you know,

348
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to take up too much time. I

349
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: think it was like a three minute interview because I

350
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: was like, I don't want to ruin Disney vacation. So

351
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: he's a family guy, and I'll understand, you know, him

352
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: taking some time off to be with his family and

353
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: kind of thinking, you know, less dates, be there for

354
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: more things with my kids. Kind of like Chance the

355
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: Rapper canceling his entire tour because he wants to be

356
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: with his kids. Like I get that, having two kids,

357
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: you want to spend time with.

358
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 4: Them, right, And if it's like you know, I think

359
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 4: they're based in Florida, and then AW the unofficial headquarters

360
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: is Jacksonville. And then technically right now, they're doing one

361
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 4: show a week with AW so that he'll still be

362
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: able to do indies. So I mean, if he wanted to,

363
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 4: you know, do four shows one month and just do

364
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 4: the AW tapings, and then the next month do ten

365
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: or twenty, and then the next month four, I mean,

366
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 4: he'll have a lot more freedom to kind of do

367
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 4: whatever he wants to do. So which Impact lets them

368
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 4: do other dates too, but you know, still.

369
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: Right, and I want to say Impact that I want

370
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 2: to said that they do kind of like the old

371
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: Ring of Honor and they like take two three episodes

372
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: in a sitting, give or take.

373
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that's I think I think that's

374
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 4: the model they've moved to socause.

375
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of what everybody does, like NWA Ring

376
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: of Honor, you know, Impact and you know, I think

377
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: I can't remember who it was we we talked to,

378
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: but I know with a E w's travel schedule, they

379
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 2: literally fly in the day before the event, they're in

380
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: town and then they you know, hang out Wednesday, wake

381
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: up Thursday, and fly out and then they're done.

382
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it makes sense.

383
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: I think that's uh, just a great schedule for them.

384
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think, uh, I mean historically, I think

385
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: that's how they did you know, tapings, TV tapings and stuff.

386
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: They do several at one time and do it that way.

387
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 4: So but yeah, I mean we'll be watching and see

388
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 4: where he ends up. I think he's had a good

389
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 4: run with Impact. He was the former champion and but yeah,

390
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 4: and then I guess now we can move over to

391
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: the Marty news.

392
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Yes, so everybody was so pissed off with Marty because

393
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 2: it was like, finally he's in a W and you

394
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: see all these reports of like Ring of Honor throwing

395
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: him WWE main event money, and how you know, Ring

396
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 2: of Honor looked like I think I saw a run

397
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: report that they were like Ring of Honors doing anything

398
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: and everything to keep Marty. They look like the crazy

399
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: ex girlfriend kind of thing. And you know, finally it

400
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: comes out, Marty signs the deal. And the cool thing

401
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: about his deal is he is now part of the booking.

402
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's And I mean if you're listening to a

403
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 4: wrestling podcast and you don't know about this stuff, I apologize.

404
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: But when you're the one of the head bookers, you

405
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 4: basically determine the matches, like you pick who's fighting who

406
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 4: you determine. Hey, you know Tavan and jay Lee though

407
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: I need you to do ten minutes, Taven goes home.

408
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: You know he's the winner. Whatever. So I mean, like

409
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: to give you an idea that the head booker and

410
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: WW is Vincementpan, you know what I mean? Like, right

411
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 4: in a W I believe it's Cody and the Bucks

412
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: and Kenny and and then Tony Kahan. So he's gonna

413
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: get you know, the main event money he's going to

414
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: get I think less dates he has to work, and

415
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: then he's he's going to be allowed to work with

416
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: n w A and he's gonna be allowed to work

417
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: with New Japan UH. And then then he's also head

418
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: of head of booking, which is right crazy, That is

419
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 4: a crazy deal for a wrestler. I mean, I don't

420
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: I don't really remember. Maybe according Kevin Well, probably Hogan.

421
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 4: Probably Hogan when he got to WCW. I don't think

422
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 4: he was the head booker, but he had creative control

423
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 4: and he's like this what I'm doing, Kevin Nash. They

424
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 4: actually made one of the bookers one of the producers,

425
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: so that was pretty unprecedented.

426
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: And according to I guess p W Insider, they also

427
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: report that Scroll will be taking on UH actually be

428
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: sharing the position with Delirious Hunter Johnston, who's actually going

429
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: to still remain the executive producer for Ring of Honor,

430
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: So they're going to be working together in the creative

431
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: process and Delirious knows the TV side and producing process,

432
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: and Marty will focus on bigger things and a new

433
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: creative vision.

434
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 4: Yeah. So it's pretty wild because I was like in

435
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 4: the in the the crashed version, of this episode. You know,

436
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: it'd be wild if if this whole time we were

437
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 4: all like, oh, he's going to a w he might

438
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 4: end up in n XT YadA, YadA, YadA, and then

439
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 4: it'd be weird if he's the he ends up being

440
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 4: the glue that kind of like unofficially unites Ring of

441
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 4: Honor in w A in the New Japan. You know. So,

442
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 4: But anyways, speaking of the NWA, I didn't know. I didn't.

443
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't know. If you want to do it,

444
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: I'm so out of it today because I'm running on

445
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 2: no little to no sleep. But yeah, so n w A,

446
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: there's always been reports like they weren't ever going to

447
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: do anything with Ring of Honor and all this other stuff.

448
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: And I want to say, when we talked with Billy,

449
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: he said, you know, they're not shutting the door on it,

450
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: but at the moment, they weren't do anything. I think

451
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: I believe he said that.

452
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Basically last year they were working together. I mean,

453
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 4: Marty was at the Crockett Cup and that's when him

454
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: and Audus fought the first time, and that's when Villain enterprises,

455
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: when they tacked titles in the tournament, and then shortly

456
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 4: after that, like within six months, they said that that

457
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 4: partnership was over, and then that next whenever it was,

458
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 4: that's when Villain Enterprises dropped those belts. So I think

459
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 4: it was just a temporary alliance kind of a deal.

460
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 4: And now that Marty's back in the fold, I guess

461
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: he's like, hey, I see potential in this. I'm resigning

462
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 4: with the Ring of Honor and blah blah blah, and

463
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 4: now that door is back open again. But it was, Yeah,

464
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: allus showed up at the event Saturday night, attacked Marty

465
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 4: and then I guess they were doing a taping Sunday night,

466
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: and I guess all, I guess all the Villain Enterprises

467
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 4: came out and like tried to attack Nick Audis.

468
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: I think, yes, son Nick was standing there along with

469
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 2: Camille and what is it the wild Ones? Is that

470
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: the wild Cards? So they were all there and then

471
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: they all started fighting. But then I think, I want

472
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: to say I saw something like the wild Cards were

473
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: already supposed going to wrestle that night to begin with.

474
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 4: On the card I.

475
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: Think, yeah, but I mean just scrolling through Twitter because

476
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now, So yeah, the wild

477
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: Cards were out there and Uh, it looks like that

478
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: Josh Woods guy, the guy that was like a former

479
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: MMA fighter, was like fighting them and pushing each other

480
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 2: and all this other stuff. So this, you know, this,

481
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: this could be a good thing for both Ring of

482
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: Honor and n w A And like you said, I mean,

483
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: Marty could be the glue that gets all three promotions

484
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 2: together and then you know, boost those pay per views

485
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: and have the you know, the big things that happen,

486
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: because I mean I would like to see you know,

487
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: uh Pco go against Nick Aldus would be a fun

488
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: man to watch, be a champion versus champion.

489
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 4: Kind of thing.

490
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't ever see like a title getting unified, but.

491
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean I think with them

492
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 4: both having the door open for New Japan. I mean,

493
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: arguably New Japan is the best wrestling promotion on the

494
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 4: planet right now. Arguably. I mean they mainly focus on

495
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: the wrestling side of things and not the stories and

496
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. And you know, so having

497
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: access to you know, go have the NWA titles defended

498
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: in New Japan, or having you know, Okada come over

499
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 4: and wrestle in NWA program. I mean, you know, there's

500
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 4: just all kinds of possibilities. They could even do a

501
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 4: World's Collide kind of deal where it's a shared pay

502
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: per view where they all fight each other and stuff.

503
00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 4: So so yeah, definitely surprising. I don't think we anticipated.

504
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 4: You know, Marty coming to NWA made sense because his

505
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 4: contract was up, but NWA going to Ring of Honor

506
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 4: didn't make sense. So I think we were both pretty

507
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 4: surprised with that.

508
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, and a lot of people were because I mean,

509
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: kudos to Marty for sticking with the people that you know,

510
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: didn't screw him over and can I mean, everybody kind

511
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: of ruled out. And we've even talked about it on

512
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: the show that if Marty ever left Ring of Honor

513
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: that was probably the final nill and the coffin on

514
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: that one.

515
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's but you know, I think people you

516
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 4: know need to remember too, is he most likely did

517
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: not sign like a lifetime deal, you know what I mean.

518
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he could be there for three to five

519
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 4: years and then good adw I mean I think he's thirty.

520
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 4: I mean, he hasn't even really had his prime yet.

521
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 4: So and you know, for some people that look at AW,

522
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 4: they're just like, well, yeah, it's new and they've got

523
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: a TV deal and they're paying people good and blah

524
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: blah blah. But I mean there's definitely some areas that

525
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: can be improved. So like I mean maybe one of

526
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 4: those where like you know, let me hollarch in two

527
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 4: years or something, you.

528
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: Know, right once they kind of get more established, because

529
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: I mean I don't see AEW going anywhere anytime soon.

530
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got a lot of money behind them,

531
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,239
Speaker 2: but there's still a few things that they need to

532
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: iron out, just building that roster that they.

533
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: Have, yep. So so I can see how somebody liked

534
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: that would be hesitant, you know. I mean if you

535
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 4: go over there and you have you know, Jericho Omega,

536
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: Cody Bucks, Hangman Park, you know, scu Orange Cassidy, I mean,

537
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: you know Joe Janella. I mean you have all these big,

538
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: big dudes, and then you come in and it's like, well,

539
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: where do you fit in the mix? You know, is

540
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 4: he going to be in the middle of the pack?

541
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: Is he the top dude? You know, I think you

542
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: ring an honor, He's going to be the top dude.

543
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 4: I think if he goes to NWA, he's gonna be

544
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: treated like a top dude. So like, I mean, I

545
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 4: get that too. I get that from a you know

546
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 4: position standpoint too. I can't fault same thing with Cody

547
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 4: and the Bucks in Omegan Tony Kahan, Like, I mean,

548
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: props to them. They weren't satisfied with the product that

549
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: they were whatever producing or being offered and YadA, YadA, YadA,

550
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: so they just created their own company, So kudos. That's incredible. So,

551
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 4: you know, I think everyone's goals and aspirations are different,

552
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 4: and it's not all the time monetary, you know. So

553
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 4: you know, I think this deal is the best deal

554
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 4: he was going to get anywhere, So I can't I

555
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 4: can't really fault him for it.

556
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: No, it's it's good for Ring of Honor, which, by

557
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: the way, a Ring of Honor will be in Nashville

558
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: in February, which boom. We're working on some stuff with

559
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: them or just kind of locking everything down to give

560
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: you guys something really cool for being fans of the show.

561
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: So we're working on that. And yeah, so RAW is

562
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: happening tonight. Is anybody gonna watch it? Probably not, I don't.

563
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

564
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 4: It's in the National title game. That'll probably be what

565
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: most people watch.

566
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: I think the National Title game will will crush it.

567
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: But one thing I do want to talk about because

568
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: we haven't really got to talk about WWE, is over

569
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: on our Instagram right now. Battleground Podcast. We put out

570
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: a thing yesterday that has everybody flipping out at the moment.

571
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: So we found online that somebody had posted a photo

572
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: of the I'm doing finger quotes leaked WrestleMania card and

573
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: what the matches are going to be, and of course,

574
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: you know it's it's kind of crazy and people, you know,

575
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: I noticed a lot of stuff, and you notice some stuff,

576
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: and people started pointing out, like they didn't spell Florida

577
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: and they spelled it f L O R I A,

578
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: and they weren't saying real names. But according to finger quotes,

579
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: this rumored card, we're gonna have Rock Lasner versus Tyson

580
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: Fury for the championship, Bray White versus Roman Reigns versus

581
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: Daniel Bryan for the Championship, Becky Lynz versus Shana Basler

582
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: for the Raw Women's Championship, Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens, Big

583
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: Show versus seth rawlins an AOP, and a hardcore tag match.

584
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna have Randy Orton versus aj Styles, Bobby lash

585
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: and Lana versus Russeph and live mixed tag team match,

586
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: and that was just the six matches right there. And

587
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: of course they're still missing the pointless battle royals that

588
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: nothing really comes out of it except for you have

589
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: a big trophy that you just stand next to and whatever.

590
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: But I mean, no Intercontinental, no Raw tag team, no SmackDown,

591
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: no women's team.

592
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 4: You sell the Andre statue on eBay becas it can't

593
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 4: fit in your house.

594
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, and so a lot of people, you know,

595
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: chimed in and I'm looking over some of the comments

596
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: and it's like bloody Stephen was like, I'm so happy

597
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: I decided not to go this year. If that's the

598
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: way it's headache.

599
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a lot of it is a head scratcher,

600
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 4: like the the seth Rawlins tag match, Like that's like

601
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 4: we just saw that last week on roll so like

602
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 4: why would we want to see it in four months and.

603
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: We're going to see it tonight as a fistfight.

604
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know. And then I hadn't heard anything about

605
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 4: brock Lesnar and Tyson Fury, like not one peep at all.

606
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: So especially because he's got his boxing match coming up.

607
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: This way, right, so like that's very strange. The rumor

608
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 4: is now that Kane Velasquez is gonna getting the Royal

609
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: Rombol and he's gonna be the one to put out Brock.

610
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 4: Now whether or not that means there'll be a match

611
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 4: at WrestleMania, I don't know. Uh, the first match wasn't

612
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 4: that great, so hopefully not, But that's the rumor. I

613
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 4: like the idea of Roman Bray and Daniel Bryan as

614
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: opposed to just Roman and Bray that way break and

615
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 4: lose the title and be protected. You know, Roman can

616
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 4: pin Daniel Bryan, right, don't. I don't like the fact

617
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 4: that they're putting the belt back on Roman, but.

618
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: You know, I mean things could change. They could put

619
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: it on Daniel who knows. Yeah, but yeah, there's still

620
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 2: a lot of other stuff that's missing on this. But

621
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, if that's the way it is. And I

622
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: don't know how I feel about the WrestleMania, but everything changes,

623
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: I know, the one thing that we all want to

624
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: see and Matt Riddle has even voiced his opinion that

625
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: he wants to be in the Royal Rumble and be

626
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 2: somewhere near Brocklesser, Like, I think I would pop and

627
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: mark out if there was a moment that Matt Riddle's

628
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: music hits, brock Lessner's demolished everybody in the ring, and

629
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: those two look at each other and they face off

630
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: in the middle.

631
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, knowing the company, they would you know,

632
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: brock would just throw him out in two seconds and

633
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 4: then they'd be like, Okay, you had your moment, shut

634
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 4: up kid, you know, like, I don't think they're going

635
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: to treat it like a real thing.

636
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: No, And I don't think they'll ever let that match happen.

637
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know, man, he jopped. He dropped to

638
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: Goldberg twice. Yeah, true, unless it was just like his

639
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 4: last match, like he's like, I'm I'm really really done now,

640
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: like there's no amount of money. Yeah, and then he'll

641
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 4: go he'll go out on his back like Kurt Engle did.

642
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 4: But as long as they don't do Matt room and being.

643
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: Like, oh's wound it pinned, you know, Kurt Ingle and

644
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: ruined his career. Yeah, but anyways, that's beside the point.

645
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, so this is uh, this is the end

646
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: of the show. So talked about all that bash of

647
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 2: the Beach is Wednesday night. It's gonna be kind of cool.

648
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be in Uh, I'll be in Los Angeles,

649
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 4: so I've probably missed that, but we'll see. Who knows.

650
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 2: We are working on a guest. We're in talks. We're

651
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: just kind of locking everything down. But ODB will come

652
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 2: on the show and talk. She wrestled, you know, Sunday

653
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: night for the women's knockout title. She's also wrestling in

654
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: wa and she's got a new food truck and so

655
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 2: she'll talk about that, and she does a really cool

656
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: thing where it's like meet and greet because I think

657
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: her truck is barbecue, so it's like m E A

658
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: T not m E E T. So she does like

659
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: a meet and greet before the show kind of thing,

660
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 2: which was really cool on her end. So we're working

661
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: on getting her on the show so she will be

662
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: our second female of second female guests, which we're gonna

663
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 2: do have more female guests on the show. That's that's

664
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: the goal for twenty twenty.

665
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's harder than you think because if we message

666
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: someone in their DMS, it's automatically like what are these

667
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: creeps doing?

668
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's very creepy when you're like, hey, I'm

669
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: a big fan, can you And that's all you see

670
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: is the tie the subject line, And I'm like no, no, no,

671
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: no, no no. That's when you start off with like, hey,

672
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 2: my name's bad Oh and I host blah blah blah.

673
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 4: I've started like I've started starting them out with like

674
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: hey little shorty.

675
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. See how long that gets us? Because it's like,

676
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, some people, some people have responded back, some

677
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: people looked at it. I did DM John c you know,

678
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: when he followed me on Twitter and I was like, yo, John,

679
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 2: you want to come on the show? No no response back,

680
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: but we're still hoping on that.

681
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 4: I mean, the problem is we can't see him, we

682
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 4: can only hear him.

683
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, so maybe he just didn't see my tweet.

684
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking. He didn't see my tweet. So

685
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: maybe I'll just DMM again, like tweet him and be

686
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 2: like John, Hey, John, I need you check your DMS

687
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 2: kind of thing.

688
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 4: We follow each other, bro, come on.

689
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we're we're doing that. We're looking at adding some.

690
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: Some new stuff to the show for twenty twenty and.

691
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we do have t shirts.

692
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 2: We do have T shirts. We have three T shirts

693
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: to be exactly. We have one really cool one with

694
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: the Battleground logo, and then we have two T shirts

695
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: of us as Funko Pops, one in the box and

696
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: one outside the box. You could buy all of them.

697
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: Then you can get him at Territory Wrestling Teas dot com,

698
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: which will put a description in a link where you can.

699
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 4: Buy them at and they will probably be available for

700
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 4: purchase at the next Tried and True event as well,

701
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 4: which we will.

702
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: Yes, which is happening next month, which we're super excited.

703
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: They announced that Sid Vicious will be there, which is

704
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: really awesome.

705
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. So if you're if you grew up in U

706
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 4: watching the Memphis stuff, I mean he was on Memphis

707
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 4: Wrestling and.

708
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 5: Then WCW and then WWE and then back to WCW,

709
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 5: and I mean he's I know a lot of people

710
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 5: don't like him because of like a lot of his

711
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 5: post career stuff.

712
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 4: He's like, no showed some dates and you know, last minute,

713
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 4: made a promoter pay for a plane ticket and you know,

714
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 4: like some kind of shady stuff. But as far as

715
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: his career goes, I think he's super underrated as a

716
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 4: big guy defintely. I mean when he started WCW's in

717
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 4: the skyscrape him and dangerous Dangerous Dan Spivey, and then

718
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 4: when he left, it was him and Mark Kallis who

719
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 4: was the undertaker, and they were just big six foot eight,

720
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 4: six foot nine dudes and they did power bombs and

721
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 4: just big boots to people and it was awesome and

722
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 4: that was all they Yeah, and then you know, he

723
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: went to WW was said justice for a little bit,

724
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 4: then he was said vicious, and I mean he was

725
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: the world champ for a while. I mean he fought

726
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 4: Hogan at WrestleMania with the belt, and he fought I

727
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 4: think Brett and Shawn Michaels both for the title, and

728
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: then he was the world champion and undertak thirteen and

729
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 4: then when he went back to WCW, he won the

730
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 4: world title at some point and then he had that

731
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: gnarly leg injury. I think that's what ended. Yeah, And

732
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 4: I think he sued them and won because they made

733
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: him do the move that he had never done before,

734
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: and obviously the worst case scenario happened.

735
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: So but I was watching that live and I cringed.

736
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I were think I was watching it too.

737
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 4: Is it's rough, but yeah, so tried and true. And

738
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 4: then yeah, they'll probably have our stuff, our shirts there

739
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 4: if you want to buy them in persons.

740
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: So it was I just want to make sure that

741
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like a dumb ass. But it was

742
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: the Undertaker and said Vicious at WrestleMania thirteen. Nice because

743
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: I remember the very first Monday Night Raw I ever

744
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: went to, and I'll probably talk to him about this too,

745
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: was the night that China debut when she hopped over

746
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 2: the guard rail and swung Terry Runnels around like a

747
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 2: rag doll. But the main event was Brett Hart versus

748
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: Sid Vicious. Stone Cold kept jumping both of them in

749
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 2: the back, and it never the match didn't really get

750
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: to happen.

751
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 4: You see that there it is.

752
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: There's a little history lesson for you, boys and girls.

753
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: So you do the math and figure out when that

754
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: match happened and when that night happened, and you can

755
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 2: figure out how old I was, Well you didn't say

756
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 2: your age.

757
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 4: You could have been there as an as an infant baby.

758
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: I could have been there. Yeah, there's been some interesting

759
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: wrestling shows I've been too, and.

760
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 4: We're going to It could have been one of those

761
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 4: little nuggets with the headphones on.

762
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 2: You know, yes, maybe I could have been.

763
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 4: You could be twenty five for all we know.

764
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 2: Man, I could be you didn't have her, know, you know,

765
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm actually looking at this wrestling at thirteen card and man,

766
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 2: it was actually a pretty good card. Billy Gunn defeated

767
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: Flash Funk, The Headbangers defeated Doug Furnace and Phil Lafone,

768
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:34,120

785
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 4: was something. Yeah, that was the big one. Yeah, I

786
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 4: mean that. I think that card was better than the

787
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 4: one I went to New Orleans.

788
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,480

Speaker 2: not thirty thousand matches.

790
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 4: There is a rumor that they're cutting back on the

791
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 4: matches this year, and they the last I don't remember

792
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 4: his Survivor series or TLC, but it was purposely like

793
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 4: they cut it, cut it back on time. So it

794
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 4: was like one of those where we're all like, God,

795
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 4: do we hate these four hour pay per views and

796
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: then they do a three hour one of what's going

797
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 4: on was you know, it's just I'd much rather have

798
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 4: shorter I'd rather have a shorter with quality matches. Then

799
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 4: longer cards will just filler because it just seems like

800
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 4: there's a lot of filler. Yeah, well, we'll.

801
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: See what happens once more stuff, because after the rumble happens,

802
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: that's when you can kind of start putting pieces together

803
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 2: of you know who's wrestling at WrestleMania and you know whatnot.

804
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean it's already started off good. I

805
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 4: mean New Japan we went over that, and then the

806
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 4: Rumble starting, and then we've got then Toba pay per

807
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,800
