Speaker 3: kind of went back and forth through some text messages,

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: and it's been very hard to kind of keep up

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: with the current product, especially with the way it's been going.

22

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: And we're still gonna talk about wrestling, and we're still

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: going to talk about if current stuff is going on,

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: what it's cool, what is what do we like and

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. But for the most part, it

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: is uh just kind of be you know, whatever we

42
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: decide to talk about, right.

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we can talk about wrestling without talking

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 4: about the current stuff exactly, and we won't talk about

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: any current stuff.

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, and we won't we'll still talk about the

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: current stuff.

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: We will still have current wrestlers arm We'll still do

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: all that stuff, but right now it's just we we've

50
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: we've kind of sat here and it was like, Okay,

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: what what is out there that, you know, do we

52
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: want to talk about? And each week, I mean we've

53
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: all seen it on Twitter and Instagram and everything else.

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: Raw hasn't been that good. AW has has still been

55
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: putting out good product, but then there's times you're like,

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. And to be completely honest,

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: I've kind of forgotten the past couple of weeks. And

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: it's moved to Friday night because of the NBA.

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people did, as evidenced by

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: the ratings. Yeah, and it's like I watched I Guess

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: Dark last week and that was well, that was Ziggy

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 4: Dice Yeah, and then was it oh uh Megan Baine

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: from oh v W. Yeah, one of the El snow girls.

64
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: I think she's got a bright future. I think she's

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: got a good look, kind of kind of in the

66
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: Camille kind of yeah, you know, cut from that clall.

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: But I mean, like it's a lot, man. I mean,

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: they're they're they're getting like fourteen seventeen eighteen matches every Tuesday,

69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: and I mean it's just it's a lot to digest.

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I understand it's like a smaller show or

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: the B Show or whatever, but I mean it's just

72
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: it's crammed. And I think some people like that, but

73
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: I didn't. And then it's just kind of I mean

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: there's been a few exceptions, but pretty much when they

75
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: when they bring in an indie or somebody unknown to dark,

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: I know they're gonna lose, you know what I mean.

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: You know, if they're fighting Brian Cage, Cage is one.

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: If they're fighting Ricky Stars, Ricky starts one. So like,

79
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'm kind of hoping that like the

80
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: product kind of like balances out and that may not

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: happen until they moved to TBS and everything is kind

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 4: of you know, like the Big Show is on this show,

83
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 4: and Mark Henry's on this show, and you know, I

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: think once they kind of streamline in a little bit.

85
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: But but yeah, it was I mean, you know, I

86
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: just felt a little like, oh my god, there's more

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 4: and there's another match, there's another match, Like it just

88
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: is it's a lot.

89
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on.

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: And I was recently on the Turnbuckle Tavern podcast, and

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: we kind of talked about predictability on the show, and

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: we debated some other stuff, and I brought to the

93
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: topic is aew following in the early TNA days with

94
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: Jeff Jared. Now we can have this debate on here

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: all day long because we kind of witnessed both of them,

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: and I was there for the TNA days. I think

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 3: a lot of people are comparing Jeff Jared and Cody.

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: But here's the thing is, Cody's not putting himself over

99
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: as much as Jared was in that TNA days. Like

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: Jarrett won the nw A title literally the next night

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: after Shamrock won it. And so I mean you can

102
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: do some comparisons and I'm not I'm not talking bad

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: about either one of them.

104
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had them both on the show.

105
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, so everybody, it's it's pretty interesting to see people

106
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 5: turning on Cody, you know, I think it happens at

107
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 5: some point, you know, I mean even Hogan and his

108
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: you know, before he left and went to the w

109
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 5: CW and turned Hill properly, I mean he would get booze.

110
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: Ultimate Warrior got booze. Oh yeah, I mean, you know,

111
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: people are gonna turn on people at some point. But

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 4: you know, just seeing the fallout from him leaving WWE,

113
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: you know, he kind of went down predictable path of

114
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 4: he he did go to impact to start and then

115
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 4: he's like, no, I you know, I want to grow

116
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: as a performer. And then that's when he started going

117
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: all over and where he got in with the lead

118
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: and that's where AW came about. But the last it

119
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 4: just seems like the last three months like that, you're

120
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: just starting to get this growing swell of like here

121
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: we go again, here's another pro you know, and it's

122
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 4: just I don't know, it's been it's been pretty surprising

123
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: to see. I mean that, I mean that was quick.

124
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: That was in less than three years. I mean he's

125
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: from here, and i mean he's dropped pretty pretty far.

126
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 4: So I'm hoping, you know, once uh, once they have

127
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: the kid, maybe he's off TV for a while and

128
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 4: kind of makes a big return or whatever. But uh yeah,

129
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: So anyways, I don't know how we keep getting on

130
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: these side tangents.

131
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 3: But but that's the thing is though, is like that

132
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: that's the one thing about if you've ever listened to

133
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,200

145
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: went to Walmart and it was just miserable. Oh I.

146
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 4: You know. The sad thing is is it's not even

147
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: officially summary yet.

148
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: I spent the past couple of days in Cincinnati and Cleveland,

149
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: and I came back here and I was like, fuck this,

150
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: Like give me back Cincinnati and Cleveland. I will say

151
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: this and this could be a hot take if anybody's

152
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: listening for Cincinnati. I tried Cincinnati Chili. We went to

153
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: Camp Washington, absolutely disgusting.

154
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 4: I thought they're known for their chili.

155
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 2: It's there was two places.

156
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: They said, either Camp Washington or go to Skyline, and

157
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: we chose sky Camp Washington because they said Skyline is

158
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: kind of like the Hattie Bees.

159
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: Everybody goes to Skyline.

160
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: Camp Washington is like your Prince's Hot Chicken for those

161
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: of you that are not in Nashville.

162
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: That's where hot Chicken came from. For just for everybody's

163
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: you know, knowledge.

164
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: But we went and literally there was like a mound

165
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: of cheese on top of it, and I was like, okay, cool,

166
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: cool cool, And then they put cinnamon in their chili

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: and so like it was this weird taste and I

168
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know how I.

169
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: Feel about this. Is it good? Is it bad?

170
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: And but they did have some awesome pink lemonade, so

171
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 3: I'll give them that much.

172
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: It's like people will put raisins in their salad.

173
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 3: No raisins or yeah, raisins, don't go on this out.

174
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 3: Maybe that could be another debate for the show, but

175
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: uh yeah. So Smith the past couple of days and

176
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: came back here and I was like, this is just

177
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: miserable and this is this.

178
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: Is what we're gonna get to for the rest of

179
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: the year.

180
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: So, uh, if you want to stay nice and cool

181
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: in the summer, make sure you grab a Battleground podcast,

182
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: Tank Top, what amanoeuver dot Net. But kind of getting

183
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: back to the wrestling thing, Yeah, it's very weird to

184
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: see how fast people on the iw C turn on Cody.

185
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: Now.

186
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: Granted, we've sent some stuff on our twitters about Cody

187
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: and how he's putting himself over over and I mean

188
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: the dude was, uh, what's what's the guy from the Boys?

189
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: Is it the Captain America? Want to be guy?

190
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: Oh Homeland?

191
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so everybody was comparing.

192
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: I was, I was thinking of Ring of Honor. I

193
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: was like the Boys from like Dalton Castle, Like.

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's that's Cody. He's gonna have the Boys soon.

195
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: H I mean coming out doing the US A thing

196
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: and basically like, oh at USA versus UK, why is.

197
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: This such a big deal? Because we're all friends.

198
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: So that and of course the whole situation of like

199
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: and we never discussed this about Cody coming out saying hey,

200
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: I have a study group and the focus group that

201
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: looks at my promos and tells me what to do.

202
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: That was a bad idea.

203
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean it's just you know, we won't

204
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: get political. But I mean, you know a lot of

205
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 4: people do not think America is great, you know, the

206
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 4: whole the American dream. I mean, we haven't had that

207
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: in our lifetime. I mean, it's you know, I mean,

208
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 4: you can go back to you know, my grandparents. My

209
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 4: granddad worked, my mom, My grandmother stayed at home and

210
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 4: raised the kids, and they had a house. They had

211
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: you know, my on my mom's side, she had nine

212
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: brothers and sisters and there was one person working in

213
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: that household that you never happened nowadays, you know what

214
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: I mean, And it just kind of seemed a little

215
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: tone deaf, you know, especially with everything going on. I

216
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: think American twenty twenty is gonna be a case study

217
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: for the next one hundred years, you know, yeah, what

218
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: not to do, what not to do. But yeah, I

219
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: don't know. I mean, you hear all these stories online

220
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 4: and you don't know if they're true, and you know

221
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: it could be some of them's based in reality but

222
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 4: they're exaggerated or whatever. But uh, yeah, it's uh, I

223
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 4: don't know, head scretcher. But anyway, and.

224
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: It's it's very tough when you because I mean, we

225
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: all do this, and we all look at the dirt sheets,

226
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: and over the past couple of weeks, we have seen

227
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: a lot of these wrestlers going after the dirt sheets.

228
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: You had Alistair Black going after certain people in the

229
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: dirt sheets for their stuff. Yeah, a lot of people

230
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: going after Meltzer and a bunch of other stuff.

231
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: So it moves too.

232
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the thing is, like, you know, you

233
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: see both sides, and you had this conversation that Glad

234
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: that we don't work in the dirt sheet side of

235
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: the wrestling.

236
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: We just kind of call it like it.

237
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: Is because I mean, yes, they get paid and that's

238
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: their job to do that and to find those stories

239
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: and to find this and find that. But then it's

240
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: like then it comes really bad if you're wrong, because

241
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: once one thing is wrong, then it's like a snowball effect.

242
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 3: And it was kind of like, you know with what

243
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: happened with Alistair and I believe that he kind of

244
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: went after Sean Ross's sap and one of the tweets,

245
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: I believe, and then Sean was like, hey, look this

246
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: is part of my job and all this other stuff,

247
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: and and you know a lot of people started kind

248
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: of going after Sean, but a lot of Sean's people

249
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 3: came for him and you know, said something, and being

250
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: in radio, I know how that is. If you report

251
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: the wrong thing or if you get your facts from here,

252
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: but over here is they're saying, no, no, no, no, this

253
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: is what really happened. But it's like you have a

254
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: reliable source of what's going on. And then as of late,

255
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 3: it was like the authors of Pain said they retired,

256
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, now they said, we're

257
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: not retired. And then more people started coming after the

258
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: Dirt Sheets and they're like, look, when we reached out

259
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: whoever we talked to, whatever the source was, said that

260
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: they're out of wrestling, which basically means they're done.

261
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And then there's been a lot of and

262
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 4: I think it. I think it happens with everyone, but

263
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 4: I noticed it recently with aw I think it was

264
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 4: the two instances that I remember right off the top

265
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 4: of my head, but I know it was MJF and

266
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: then it was it might have been actually from the

267
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: All Elite Twitter or the you know, aw on TNT

268
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 4: whatever that run, but they basically posted sorry little Hair.

269
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 4: They posted other people's art or content, or whatever, it

270
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: didn't credit them, and I mean hundreds like, hey, can.

271
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: You that caused a shit storm? If I had seen one, Hey.

272
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 4: Can you can you credit them? Can you credit like it? It? Literally?

273
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: And I mean I can't say that I've never done that,

274
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: but if anyone brought it to my attention, like hey,

275
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: this is the creator, instantly put credit on. That's it, right,

276
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: And Chelsea Green did it too, and it's just like

277
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, like that is such a shitty thing

278
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: to do, you know, And you know, there's certain protections

279
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: for you know, like if I got back into music

280
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: and I wrote a song and I put it up

281
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: and then Chelsea Green stole it and put it on

282
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: YouTube and used it on her thing, like there would

283
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: be a trademark thing and it would be pulled down,

284
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. There's not really something like

285
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: that for artwork and graphics and anything like that. So yeah,

286
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: So I mean like there's been a lot of like,

287
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: you know, just kind of crappy stuff, you know what

288
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: I mean, like not positively, like you know, no.

289
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: And that's and that's like a very slipper slippery slope

290
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: because like you know, the wrestlers weren't crediting the person

291
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: who created the artwork, and then it came into well,

292
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 3: the person that created the artwork didn't credit the person

293
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: who took the photo of said wrestler in the thing,

294
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: and then it was just a kind of like a

295
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: pointing fingers and kind of like that scene in Spider

296
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: Man where you're like both pointing at each other, you know,

297
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: And that's and that's the tough thing is like everybody

298
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: went after Chelsea Green when that happened.

299
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: And now it was kind of like.

300
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: If if, for example, we post something on our Instagram

301
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: and it's from another whether it's WWE or whatever, I

302
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: put the caption and then I put either I tagged

303
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: him in the photo or I put like the little

304
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: camera emoji Simmy Colin at blah blah blah, just so

305
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: it credits where we came from. So that's you know,

306
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: I'll same thing with the Shaan Michaels post. I credited

307
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: the YouTuber that put it up there on there. So

308
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: that's another slippery slope with with the crediting thing, because.

309
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: It's it's weird.

310
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,040

314
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: at Battleground podcast, Twitter's Battleground I hr. But yeah, it's

315
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: it's it's interesting with everything going on. And I did

316
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: watch in Your House briefly as I was traveling back

317
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: from vacation over the weekend, and the first match to

318
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: kick off, I I like the winner take all stipulation

319
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: where it was MSK and why am I.

320
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: Drawing a blank on the other guys?

321
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: Yes, Bronson Reid versus the other three guys, which is

322
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: once again trying a blink on their name. But I

323
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: like the winners take all stipulation of course Bronson and

324
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: MSK one. And I watch the the Million Dollar Belt

325
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: Ladder match, and I really thought Cameron Krimes was gonna

326
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: win that, just because as much as they've hyped it up.

327
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's that kind of rubbed people the wrong

328
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 4: way of that match really well, based on what I

329
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 4: was seeing on Twitter. I don't know if it was

330
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 4: a combination of just you know, they're bringing this belt

331
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 4: back again, and you know, I mean, I get it,

332
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: but it's like it's not a real belt. It was

333
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 4: just from Ted Dibiassi. I mean even when they brought

334
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: it out and Steve Austin had it, I was like, oh,

335
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: this is stupid, you know, right, and it's just a prop.

336
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 4: And I mean, you know, when when when, especially when

337
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 4: you have people Jim Cornett or other wrestlers, when they're

338
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 4: like belts are just props. They don't matter, like well yeah,

339
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 4: but they're presented as if they matter, you know, like

340
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: the ten pounds of gold is presented as like this

341
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: has been around seventy five, seventy three years, whatever, you know,

342
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: so to the fans it's real. But the million dollar belt,

343
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: that's I mean, that's a prop for the million dollar man.

344
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I thought it was kind of

345
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 4: dumb to begin with, but I guess a lot of

346
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 4: people were upset that, Uh, Eli Drake, I don't I

347
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 4: don't call him by his new name. It's stupid. I

348
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: mean sounds like a combination of British Knights and La gear, so.

349
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: Right, and I think that's like a combination of like

350
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: he said, the reason behind it and I can't remember

351
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 3: what it is, but I think.

352
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: He just went for the dumbest name he come up

353
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 4: with You know.

354
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: I wonder if WW just has like a bill a

355
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: bulletin board of like names and be like, all right,

356
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: so here's the names we got for you. Excuse me,

357
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: you just have to pick one of them and then

358
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: we take it off the board.

359
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: And just leave it up there for the next person

360
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: that comes in.

361
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 4: Pretty much. Yeah, And they also have a bank of

362
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 4: theme songs, and like the aj Styles theme song was

363
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 4: supposed to be for James Storm and then when he

364
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: didn't end up staying around, they gave it. Yeah. So

365
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 4: but yeah, I don't know. It just seems like there's

366
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 4: a lot of people upset either that Eli Drake wonted

367
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 4: or just the match happened at all.

368
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, but it it is weird, and it's like

369
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: is it gonna get defended and whatnot. But you know,

370
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: once again, like I said at the beginning of the show,

371
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: we really haven't been watching current product. That was I

372
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: was on the road last night, so I was like, Eh,

373
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: my wife was driving, so I was like, I'm just

374
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 3: gonna kind of see what's going on and just watch

375
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: for a little bit.

376
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: And for the most part I just kind of follow

377
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: along on Twitter. But I mean I a.

378
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 4: Little bit here. Recently, I watched, Uh, I watched the

379
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 4: NBA pay per view. I thought I was watching the

380
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 4: Impact pay per view, but uh, the Boss had other

381
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 4: plans for that. But I've watched some dark I watched.

382
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: I actually checked out MLW because I get vices on

383
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 4: my TV package because of how I watched dark Side.

384
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 4: And I've watched some of those, a few of those,

385
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 4: and they've really like their their productions really improved. And

386
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know what the difference is.

387
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: It just seems like I don't know, and I don't

388
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: want to say this, and I don't mean it insultingly,

389
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 4: but it just it's it's it seemed it it appeared

390
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 4: and like felt more professional, you know, and.

391
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't like old E c W days, right Yeah.

392
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 4: And you know, they've got some pretty interesting storylines going

393
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: on right now. And uh, they've got a good mix

394
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 4: of you know, a lot of indie guys. And then

395
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 4: you know, Steve Richards from Impact just signed with him.

396
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 4: He was the Eddie Edwards guy, right him and him

397
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: and America that. Yeah, So I mean they've got a

398
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 4: pretty good mix of talent.

399
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: I say, I really like that they're bringing back the

400
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: Luca Underground thing.

401
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 4: That's gonna be so good. I mean, like, if it's.

402
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: Done right, you can go ahead and just count everybody

403
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 3: watching that. Because our friend KB those Luca Underground things

404
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 3: on her Twitch.

405
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad she finally got home to that because

406
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 4: I mean right after we met and we started in

407
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: music see Horror, we obviously met through wrestling, and but

408
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: I was instant like, do you do you check out

409
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 4: luc Underground And I think she had heard of it,

410
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: but she never watched it. I was like, dude, you

411
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: got to check this out. And now she's doing it

412
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: every week. But that and NXT was what got me

413
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 4: back into wrestling. I happened to my provider at the time,

414
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 4: had l Ray, and I was just excited because they

415
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 4: played Freddy's Nightmares on reruns, which if you don't know,

416
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: Nahmarron Alman Street had a TV show in the eighties. Yes,

417
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: it was incredible, and I hadn't seen him in fifteen years,

418
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 4: twenty years. I was like, this is awesome. And then

419
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: I happened to be floating through and it's like Luke

420
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: Underground's like, okay whatever, and I what the very first episode,

421
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: I was like holy shit. And that was the I

422
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: think the first time I had seen a Canadian destroyer,

423
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 4: or it had been ten years since I've seen one,

424
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 4: and it was just hotly crap. But it was just

425
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 4: like every week I was seeing things I'd never seen before,

426
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 4: you know, between the Luca style and some strong style

427
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 4: and just all the different stuff. And then they had

428
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 4: the little vignettes and I mean they were filmed like gritty.

429
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it was just like I'd never seen anything

430
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: like it.

431
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 2: I mean, it was and then we're watching a movie.

432
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: It was it was like little movies. Yeah, and I

433
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: really liked that it kind of played up the you know,

434
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 4: kind of the tradition of luchadors and and you know,

435
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 4: it was just in this dirty, grimy warehouse and I

436
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: mean it was just I loved it. I understand they

437
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 4: kind of screwed their performers and that kind of sucks,

438
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: but I think if they do it, like you said,

439
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 4: if they do it right under new management, I mean,

440
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: sky's a limit on that. I'm really exry to do

441
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 4: what they do with that.

442
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 3: And it's of course you're not going to get back

443
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: some of the people because a lot of them are

444
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: different places.

445
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: But I mean, there was.

446
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: The rumor of you know, WWE and MLW working together,

447
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: so maybe maybe this is the point that we get

448
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: Prince Puma. I know Rickochet said he'll never put the

449
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: mask back on, but bro get off the main event

450
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: and come to the Lucha Underground remake two point zero. Yeah,

451
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I imagine if that happened, him and Morrison

452
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: going back at it again.

453
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 4: I think the only I don't know. It's always one

454
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: of those where when you when you start having these

455
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 4: companies working together and all that, like, I just don't

456
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 4: I don't see the benefit of it for m ILW.

457
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: And you can even go back, like right before you

458
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: started hearing rumors about that, Triple H was on a

459
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 4: conference call and he's like, the door's open, It's always

460
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 4: been open. We're always open for business, and if it's

461
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 4: something that's beneficial to us, we're all here. And that

462
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 4: was the key right there. If it's beneficial to us,

463
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: right and WW is not going to do something that

464
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 4: screws WW. It doesn't I don't care if it's New Japan,

465
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 4: I don't care if all the majors are under one

466
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 4: banner and they just have to get w W like

467
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. W W is gonna be They're gonna

468
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 4: come out the best.

469
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: And then their guys are gonna job either.

470
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 4: No, and with MLW they're not big enough. Like if

471
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: if WW went to them and said, hey, we'll do

472
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: four pay per views where it's a crossover and blah

473
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: blah blah, every single person on MLW is gonna lose.

474
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 4: Like there's no there's nothing. But I think if they

475
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 4: were doing the Luca Underground and brought in Prince Puma

476
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 4: or even Ray Ray Masterial was there for a while,

477
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: Johnny Well now Moondo.

478
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

479
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: I was about to say Johnny Impact, but that was

480
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: just when he was an impact.

481
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: That's all I got away with. A lot of it

482
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 3: was Johnny whatever the promotion is.

483
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, but him and his wife were both in WW.

484
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 4: Now they were in lucha. Brian Cage is in AW

485
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: thunder Roses all over the place. Joey Ryan's disappeared hopefully

486
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: I haven't. Yeah, so they're I mean, there's a lot

487
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 4: of people they won't be able to get. But I

488
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: think it would be if they use some of the

489
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: w W or n x T people and m LW.

490
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: You know, maybe maybe that's the working relationship. Maybe they're

491
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: both going to be in the New Underground.

492
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: But.

493
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 4: That one I just don't see. Like to me, m

494
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 4: l W and NDBA would make more sense, like I think,

495
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: I think that's the same level, you know, but I

496
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know that that one was a

497
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: head scratcher. Now I think court count is it counter

498
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 4: court court power count.

499
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: Court court bound count Bauer. We're friends on LinkedIn. I

500
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: know that much. Court Possibly.

501
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: I think he uh, I think he used to work

502
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 4: for WWE, so I think he's got a good relationship

503
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: or at least knows them or on a first name

504
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: basis or something. But I don't know. I I think

505
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 4: I I think we. I don't know when how we

506
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: Go brought up, but I was, I was. I'm engine

507
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 4: to you if I was, if I was Tony, and

508
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: they're like blank check. Obviously he's got blank checks.

509
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: I mean he signed Tim Tebow, So yeah, I would.

510
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 4: I would buy the nw A and I would buy GCW,

511
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 4: and the nw A would act as my I don't know.

512
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 4: I don't want to call it legend brand, but I mean,

513
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 4: you know, if it was one of those like whatever

514
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: the Dudley Boys, you know, and it's where.

515
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: The big legends that still can go can go there

516
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 3: and bring young talent.

517
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 4: And if you don't want the Dudley's on Wednesday nights

518
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 4: headlining against the Bucks, they go to the n w A.

519
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 4: And I think there's enough young talent. There's people from

520
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: Tried and True, you have the workings there now rock

521
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: and rolla Express comes out every so often. I mean,

522
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 4: I think there's enough there that you could designate that

523
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 4: as the legends. For sure, AW is still the main focus,

524
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 4: that's the main stars or whatever. And then GCW is

525
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 4: kind of the the indie slash crazy x NXT on steroids,

526
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 4: And I think the cool thing with that would be,

527
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 4: you know, if if they needed a rub, have moxleyg

528
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: over GCW and do AW branded GCW Matt, you know,

529
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 4: and I think like that would I just think that

530
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 4: would be something we've never seen before. I think it

531
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 4: would elevate all the brands. I think it would give

532
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 4: Tony access to hours and hours and hours of video content.

533
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 4: So when they eventually launched a w app or whatever

534
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 4: they're gonna do, they got a bunch in the vault.

535
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: So but that's just me spitballing. That's that's just and

536
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 4: I think fantasy.

537
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: I think maybe you had sent me the article or

538
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 3: maybe I just found it online. But it was like

539
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: Billy Corgan maybe he was on Talk as Jericho or

540
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: maybe he was talking about it open, but he was

541
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 3: talking about how NWA went to WWE was like, hey,

542
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: do you.

543
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: Want to buy this?

544
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: Like this could all be yours? And ww is like nah,

545
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: we're good.

546
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: Like yeah they I don't remember where it got to,

547
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: but it ended up getting to the person that owned

548
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: the rights then way, it was just like a like

549
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 4: a business owner, like a guy that owns a car

550
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: lot or something. And he ended up with the rights

551
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 4: and and I think he sold. He was trying to

552
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: sell it for pretty cheap. I think he sold. He

553
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: was willing to sell it for less than what Billy

554
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 4: paid for it.

555
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: You know, but that was kind of a head scratcher

556
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: when I saw it.

557
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, WWE, like this was the perfect opportunity

558
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: for you to buy this and own all the library

559
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 3: of what began WWE in a way like you own everything.

560
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 4: The WWWF was in the NWA back in the day,

561
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 4: right they were an NWA territory. And then I guess

562
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: it yeah, I guess it has been some Man Senior.

563
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: I was about to I was about to say shan

564
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: Shaneman Man Sor, but I was like, that's not Vincent

565
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: Man Senor. He slowly just started booking his own stuff

566
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: and he eventually broke away from the NBA. But yeah,

567
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 4: I mean, why wouldn't you, I mean why wouldn't you?

568
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: I mean the video the catalog alone for them to

569
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: put on the network, go through everything.

570
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: Now.

571
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 3: I know that they have like the old you know,

572
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: Georgia Championship Wrestling and all the old stuff, but they

573
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: don't have like the like old old old like from.

574
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: The fifties and sixties and seventies. I mean, I think

575
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: the value there would be from about seventy five to

576
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: ninety like whatever they don't have access to now with

577
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 4: Flair and Dusty Rhoads and you know, that's kind of

578
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 4: like the classic error for the next right. I mean,

579
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 4: they have most of the big stuff, but like you said,

580
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: if they just wanted to buy it all and be

581
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 4: done with it. And also, I mean that's just more merch,

582
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 4: that's just more or. You know, you can put out

583
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 4: those belts, you can put out NWA Classic toy lines.

584
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 4: I guarantee you people are gonna buy those, you.

585
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: Know, like exactly.

586
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: I mean you probably would end up getting some of

587
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 4: their talent too, you know, Like I don't know, it's uh,

588
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: you know, it's like every ten years they try to

589
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 4: do a restaurant, you know, and it just fails, and

590
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 4: it's like, bro, just buy that.

591
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: And be done with it, you know, like exactly.

592
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: And you know, we're not saying anything bad about how

593
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 3: NWA is now or anything like that because I mean,

594
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 3: you know, like most things happened. They had a very

595
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: small staff, and the pandemic kind of hit them pretty bad,

596
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 3: and you know, one of the guys was involved in the.

597
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: Speaking Out movement, and.

598
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: You know, they put a lot of stuff on the

599
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: back burner and then they came back pretty strong, and

600
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: they had a couple of things with what is the

601
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 3: Championship of Hollywood Championship Wrestling or whatever.

602
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 4: I want to know when we're going to figure out

603
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 4: what's going on with them and David Marquez, I like, doll,

604
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: I don't understand. I mean, like me and you talked

605
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: about it, the whole Championship Wrestling from Hollywood thing, So

606
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 4: like they they had that show and I guess it

607
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 4: was an official n w A show. I don't know.

608
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: And that's where like Tim Storm was and that's how

609
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 4: him and Autist got started. And yeah, I think, uh,

610
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: I even think David Arquete fought on that show when

611
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: he was coming out and doing his stuff. But when

612
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 4: they relaunched in the fall, and you had like Nick

613
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: Allis defending against whoever was it, Mike Ites Mike Bennett. Yeah, yeah,

614
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: because it was right around when we interviewed him, and

615
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: you had like Chris Dickinson, and I mean you had

616
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: some names and stuff, but it wasn't an n w

617
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 4: A show, and uh, and then that kind of like stopped,

618
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 4: and I don't really know what the deal was with that.

619
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 4: And then they're like cool powers back and and then

620
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 4: you know, Dave is not involved, and then he starts

621
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 4: kind of spilling this tea and then he just they

622
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 4: just booked to uh record at the new studio or

623
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 4: the original studios that they used to use for like

624
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 4: WCW Saturday Night and all that, and I mean that's

625
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: right up the road from where NWA tapes, and it's

626
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: just like there's got to be something going on, you

627
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 4: know what I mean.

628
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: And like if you if you see it on Twitter,

629
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: and I mean I've we've gone back and forth sending

630
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: each other's shots of you know what people are tweeting,

631
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: and it's like, Okay.

632
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: Is this a work? Is this not a work?

633
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: MARKU has just got you know, all the paperwork to

634
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: start doing shows in Atlanta, and then he just booked

635
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: this venue that's way bigger than where the NWA's performing,

636
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: and like.

637
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 4: I don't know how he's gonna pull it off, honestly,

638
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: because I mean, I mean, they don't have the drawing

639
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: power that the WA does, and I just mean that

640
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: from a name standpoint, and I just I don't know

641
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 4: how they're gonna fill that venue. And I really hope

642
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 4: it's just not leading towards like an invasion angle, because

643
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: those things.

644
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: Are I think invasion angles are just kind of tiring. Now,

645
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: Like if it's done right, it could be good, but

646
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: now it's just like everybody's kind of doing it now

647
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 3: that this aw forbidden door is open.

648
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 4: Well, and it's happened so many times, you know, Like

649
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, even you know, everyone kind of

650
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 4: points to when Turner sold to the McMahon's and that

651
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 4: became their company or whatever, and then they did the

652
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 4: worst invasion ever and they didn't even have the big

653
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: stars and all that stuff. But I mean they did

654
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: an NWA invasion in like ninety seven, like Dan Severn

655
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: was there and Jim Cornett, you know, we talked about

656
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 4: it when Dan Severn was on the show, and you know,

657
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: I mean like they'd already done that like three years

658
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 4: before they did it again. And it's just like you know,

659
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 4: and so I don't know even I mean even to

660
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: an extent nexus when they got called up that was

661
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 4: kind of an invasion the Shield, that was kind of

662
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: an invading I mean, like done this just constantly.

663
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: And but and here recently when they did the Brands

664
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 3: versus Brand and they had NXT showing up and in

665
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 3: the d X esque you know, military things and road.

666
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 4: Do Survivors series was awesome like that.

667
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: We don't know why they don't continue doing it.

668
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 4: They didn't do it last year. Yeah it was stupid,

669
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 4: but yeah, I don't know. And I don't mean this.

670
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 4: I don't mean it to sound this way. It's gonna

671
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 4: sound meaner than I mean it. But they just you know,

672
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 4: if if they invaded the w A, I think the

673
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 4: WA would just be like, who the fuck are these people? Like,

674
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't even think they would, you know

675
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like, I mean the n w A

676
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: struggling to get big, big names right now, much less

677
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 4: championship wrestling of Bollywood in Georgia.

678
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and you know, as much as we love

679
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 3: the n w A, it's it's it's kind of one

680
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 3: of those things you sit back and look at it

681
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 3: and you're like, Okay, if they didn't take off last

682
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 3: year because they were at high momentum last year at

683
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: the pandemic, and then right as soon as crocket cut

684
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: happened and all the other stuff that happened, it just went, yeah,

685
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 3: went down.

686
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't take long to lose momentum. I

687
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 4: mean that's the that's the drawback. I mean when this

688
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: isn't even in the same comparison. But my old band

689
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 4: we released a single then it was just going and

690
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: going and going and going and going, and we got

691
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 4: up to I'd have to look it up either like

692
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 4: forty six or forty four on like the Alternative charts

693
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 4: or whatever, and then our label's like, okay, well let's

694
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 4: go to the next thing. I was like, why wouldn't

695
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: let it breathe, right, It's like we're not touring, we

696
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 4: haven't really done anything, and we're already almost into the

697
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 4: top forty, Like why would you stop momentum like this?

698
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 4: And I mean, I mean within two weeks we were

699
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 4: out of the top one hundred. You know, I took

700
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: no time. And same kind of thing. I mean, if

701
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 4: you're building and building and building and you've getten big

702
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 4: names from WWE impact indies, you know, there's just a

703
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 4: positive buzz and then just to pull the plug on

704
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 4: that for a year, maybe longer. I mean, it's just

705
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: I will say though. I mean, I think they're bouncing

706
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 4: back pretty well. That pay per view was pretty pretty decent.

707
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 4: I think they've got a good mix of indie people,

708
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 4: or at least people I'm not familiar with, you know,

709
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 4: and a lot of the people that kind of come

710
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 4: through Nashville, they're kind of like your GCW guys, and

711
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 4: so if they get someone that's not kind of in

712
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 4: that world, I mean, it's kind of a shock because

713
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 4: it's like, Wow, I didn't even know who this person is,

714
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: you know. But I think they need a couple more

715
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 4: kind of those marquee names you know or I don't

716
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 4: know why Billy Corgan hasn't worked out something to where

717
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 4: you know, thunder Rosa went from there tot AW. Why

718
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 4: don't you bring someone you know, Ricky Starks, you know,

719
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 4: bring or Sammy Goobar or whatever, bring a name from

720
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 4: there over to NWA to kind of help, you know,

721
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 4: scratch that back a little bit, you know.

722
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: And I don't know.

723
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 3: And I mean we had Billy on the show, what

724
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 3: was it about two years ago, so I don't know.

725
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 3: And at the time he said, you know, things were

726
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: good with him and Impact Wrestling the current well sort

727
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: of the new stable that's there.

728
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: So I don't see why.

729
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you're you have this, you have the a

730
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 3: W and an Impact relationship. Why not have like you know,

731
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 3: Camill show up at Impact or you know, will and

732
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 3: Camille said this on different things that you know, if

733
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 3: they want me at AW, you know where it's at,

734
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: you know.

735
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think Camille is just as

736
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 4: marketable as thunder Rosa, you know exactly. I mean, I

737
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 4: think under Rosa probably has more wide appeal just because

738
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 4: her background. She's got the Mexican community and you know,

739
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 4: the United States. But I mean Camille is one of

740
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 4: those kind of like China kind of lightning in a bottle. Yeah,

741
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, she just doesn't come around very often.

742
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: And you know, I could just see her going to

743
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 4: AW and kind of being the bully against brit and

744
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: being like, oh, you're a world chavon. That's cute, you know,

745
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 4: and it's just like exactly, or or if Jade beats

746
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 4: her and then you have Jade and Camille and that's

747
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 4: just too free to.

748
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 2: Pay for that money.

749
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 4: I mean, that's almost kind of like Hogan Warrior at

750
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 4: that point, you know what i mean. Yeah, So it's

751
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 4: very interesting because you know, NWA has worked with Ring

752
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 4: of Honor, Ring of Honors obviously worked with the Elite

753
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 4: and the Bucks and everybody. AW has got New Japan

754
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 4: right now, NWA and Impact Impact is working with Triple A.

755
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 4: Aw's working with Triple A Impacts kind of working with

756
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 4: New Japan.

757
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: And a little bit with a W.

758
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 4: Yeah. And then so like it's it's kind of like

759
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 4: they're all in the same sandbox, but it's just like

760
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 4: they're not all in all in different corners. Yeah. Yeah,

761
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 4: And so I I keep saying it and I've I've

762
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: mentioned it to guests. I mean, I still think we're

763
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 4: heading to a super show, you know, in the next

764
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: five years where it's kind of like everyone but the WW.

765
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 4: So I don't know, but.

766
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 3: I know that they did and I'm looking at it

767
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 3: right and I'm looking it up.

768
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 4: Way to do that. I'll say congrats to former guests

769
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 4: Mickey James for she did sign with NWA and she's

770
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 4: producing the first NWA Women's pay per view. And I

771
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 4: know Chelsea Green came out and was like, I want

772
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 4: to headline it, you know, And so I think Mickey

773
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 4: she's one of those like just super respected talents, you know.

774
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 4: I mean Tommy Dreamer, I think when we interviewed him,

775
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 4: he was like, that was the first one. We were like,

776
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 4: who's who's the most underrated or who who doesn't get

777
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 4: the recognition and he was like Mickey James, I mean,

778
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 4: that was like right off the top of his list,

779
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 4: you know.

780
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: And that's that's the way a lot of guests have

781
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 3: been on. And we we've had several female wrestlers on,

782
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 3: and every time we've asked them like who would you

783
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: want to wrestle? Who's on your Mount Rushmore, it's always

784
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 3: Mickey James and there for her to get this spotlight

785
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 3: being executive there, me and you have gone back and

786
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: forth texting like it's freaking Mickey James.

787
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 2: Who is gonna say no to Mickey James.

788
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like you said, there, you know, there's a

789
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 4: video of Medusa online and being like, hey, don't don't

790
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 4: make me come out of retirement. I think that's a

791
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 4: little bit of a stretch. But I wouldn't be surprised

792
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 4: if Mickey Poll's bigger names than people are realizing. I'm

793
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 4: talking about like Alita or Trish or you know, Molino

794
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 4: will be there obviously, but I mean, I think she'll

795
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 4: be able to pull some people from.

796
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: WWE, Stacey Keebler, I mean.

797
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 4: People from Impact. I mean, like, I think people are

798
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 4: gonna want because I don't remember everything about Evolution, but

799
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 4: I don't believe there was a ton of women producer

800
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 4: like TJ. I think TJ produced a lot of matches

801
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: which he's he's awesome. A lot of his working matches

802
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 4: are just freaking ridiculous, and.

803
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,959
Speaker 2: That somebody else we're working on getting onto the show soon.

804
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, him and Natty obviously you're awesome team

805
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 4: behind the scenes there, Well, she's one of the tach

806
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 4: team champions. But anyways, so I think I wouldn't be

807
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 4: surprised if the NWA Women's pay per view is a

808
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 4: bigger event that weekend than the seventy third anniversary, which

809
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 4: it is cool. They're going back to Saint Louis. It

810
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 4: is cool that, you know, they hadn't been there in

811
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 4: a long time. A buddy of mine who's from Saint Louis,

812
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 4: we may drive up to that show or those shows.

813
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 4: But anyways, congrats to her. That's that's a huge accomplishment.

814
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, super excited for that. And of course we'll probably

815
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 3: give away coach to watch that. So make sure that

816
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 3: you're following us on social media, uh.

817
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 4: On the show closer to time too.

818
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Twitter is Battleground, IHR, Instagram, Battleground podcasts and

819
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: uh so what I was looking up and uh this

820
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 3: was Hell by Nature reported this about five months ago

821
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: and it was all Elite Wrestling filed trademark for the

822
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: term Battle of the Belts with the United States Patent

823
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 3: and Trademark Office. So maybe maybe this could be that

824
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 3: super show where it's like, okay, it's n W a ring. Well,

825
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're doing much with Ring of Honor.

826
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: I know Ring of Honor announced that their first live

827
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 3: show is coming in July with fans, but you know,

828
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: maybe it is Ring of Honor nw A impact and

829
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 3: aw you and it's like, you know, who reigns supreme?

830
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 3: Who's the best of the best. I mean, you think

831
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 3: about it right now. I don't know who currently is

832
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 3: the women's champion in r o H, but you think

833
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 3: you think, uh, Britt Baker versus Camille versus Deanna and then.

834
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: Bring him on. Let me pull this up right now.

835
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 2: This is kind of bad.

836
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: I'm going to figure it out.

837
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: See that's the that's the first thing that pops up

838
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: on Google.

839
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 4: Uh oh, they don't they that's right, they they it

840
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 4: was defunct after Kelly Klan.

841
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 2: That's right.

842
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I think they're tournament, that's right.

843
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, Alison Kay, she's she was announced that she's going

844
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 4: to be in the tournament.

845
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: That's right.

846
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 3: So just let's just say Alison k is gonna win it.

847
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 3: Just think about that match for a second. Uh, think

848
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: about your tag team championship match. I mean, right now,

849
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 3: your tag team is Rhett Titus and Tracy Williams and

850
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: Ring of Honor and then the Good Brothers or no

851
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 3: it's destruction, uh and.

852
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 4: Impact Violence by Destruction it's Eric Young's group.

853
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 3: And then yeah, and then you think of the n

854
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 3: w A Tag Team Champions. Hopefully by then it'll be

855
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: war Kings.

856
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:22,959
Speaker 4: Teams.

857
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 3: It's it's a very weird tag team, but I mean

858
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 3: you think of the greatness of that, and then you know,

859
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 3: whoever is the book the box going against that? And

860
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: if end up, if r O eight or not r oh,

861
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 3: if a W gets that six man tag, I mean,

862
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: give me Shane Taylor Promotions against Death Triangle. I'm just

863
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 3: gonna go ahead and say that they're gonna be the

864
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 3: six man tag if that happens.

865
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 4: So you think, I thought it would be interesting if

866
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 4: you did, which it kind of defeats the purpose because

867
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 4: the n w A kind of this that was their

868
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 4: whole point. But if you had a you know, kind

869
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 4: of had like a unifying almost like a like a

870
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 4: like a pw C, like a Pro Wrestling Congress or something,

871
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 4: you know, like basically making it an organization that was

872
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 4: like neutral and so like you know, cause it's it's

873
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 4: kind of one of those things where like you know,

874
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 4: like when thunder rosa came to a W and was like,

875
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna face Sheda, Like I had no question about

876
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 4: about it. Thunder Rose was not going to win that,

877
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 4: you know. And it's like so when they come to

878
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 4: like a w's like you kind of know AW is

879
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 4: going to go over, you know, or if they go down,

880
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 4: you know that kind of a deal. And so you

881
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 4: could even do up like whatever Pro Wrestling Congress World

882
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 4: Belts and you know, have it, you know, but just

883
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 4: have it like a neutral area and just being like,

884
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 4: you know, this isn't a w's territory, this isn't impact like,

885
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 4: this is the neutral zone, and you know kind of

886
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 4: like you know, the booking doesn't automatically leaned towards the

887
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 4: home field or you know whatever. But yeah, I think

888
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 4: I think it's I mean, you you go back to

889
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 4: looking you look it all in when it first launched

890
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 4: and it was you know, the biggest indie show of

891
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 4: all time, and I mean there was no federation involved.

892
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 4: It was just stars, you know what I mean. And

893
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 4: I think if they if you actually got the promotions

894
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 4: together and did something, I mean that I mean a

895
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 4: basketball arena at least, but I mean that you I mean,

896
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 4: at one point you probably could get to like a

897
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 4: football team, you know.

898
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you create that as the big thing, and

899
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 3: that's your that's your WrestleMania.

900
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 4: And then it's on top of it, it's something people

901
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,479
Speaker 4: hadn't seen in at least thirty years, you know, and.

902
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 3: It's and that's you know, it sucks because like growing up,

903
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 3: ww F, WWE was the thing, and now it's like

904
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 3: you sit here and you've got so many options.

905
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 2: And I think it was like the other day.

906
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 3: On the media calls for NXT, you know, in your house,

907
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: like I don't know what was going on, but just

908
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 3: like reading reports of like Triple Ah just kind of

909
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 3: downplaying the whole women's pay per view and you know,

910
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 3: all the best talent in the women's wrestling world is

911
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: in ww And I'm like, bro, do you not look

912
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 3: out there and see like the fact that Thunderosa has

913
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 3: her own wrestling company dedicated to women's wrestling and they

914
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 3: put on hell of the shows and it's her and

915
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: Jazz doing it.

916
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you've let you know, Lana Ruby Riot,

917
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 4: did liv Morgan get released to No, She's still there, Okay.

918
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 4: I mean there have beenonics iconics. Chelsea Green Santana. I

919
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 4: mean there's so many people that they let walk take Conte.

920
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 4: She's killing it in aw right now. I Mean there's

921
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 4: so many people that either you know, got tryouts and

922
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 4: didn't get called or they got released or whatever, and

923
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 4: it's just like, I don't know that. I think that's

924
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 4: part of what irritates a lot of people with the

925
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: WWE is just like they're in this bubble, you know.

926
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 4: And it's not just Vince obviously reading you know, going

927
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 4: back and reading the comments that Triple H made. You know,

928
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 4: they did one pay per view in twenty eighteen and

929
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 4: no mention of it ever again. And I mean you

930
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 4: go back, Impact did it in what twenty eleven, twenty twelve.

931
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 4: I mean they did it years before they did it.

932
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 4: There's been I know there's been like well Shimmer obviously,

933
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 4: but there's been other promotions that have done something similar.

934
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 4: So I mean they're not the they're not the first.

935
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 4: It wasn't the best, you know, and I don't know

936
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 4: it just a lot of times their attitude is just

937
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 4: like we're the best. Fuck it, you know, and it's

938
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 4: just like and it's it's just you're not killing almost

939
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 4: any level. You're not the best anymore.

940
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: When we've had since Evolution happen, We've had numerous female

941
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 3: talent from WWE and people that were a part of

942
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 3: that show that were no longer with WWE, and we've

943
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 3: always asked them about it, and I think Charlotte was

944
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 3: kind of like, shoot, I have to you can go

945
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: back and listen to our interview. But when we asked

946
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 3: her about it, it was kind of like we did

947
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 3: it once, we don't have to do it again.

948
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean it's like it's almost like he equated

949
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 4: it to a crying kid, you know, like, well, they

950
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 4: are crying. I gave him a sucker, so we're good now,

951
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 4: Like yeah, no, Like this is like there's demand for this,

952
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 4: Like people want this, you know.

953
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 3: I think also he made the comment about, like, you know,

954
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 3: how would you people feel if I just did.

955
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 2: An all men pay per view? Well, bro, if you

956
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 2: go back and look.

957
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 4: You mean what you do almost every single month? Okay, Yeah,

958
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 4: I mean there's I mean there's been within the last

959
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 4: three years there's been pay per views where there were

960
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 4: no female matches on the card whatsoever.

961
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 3: And they almost screwed the Pooch and almost did it

962
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 3: make the Bianca and Sasha Banks main event WrestleMania, and

963
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 3: it was one of those ones like the day before

964
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 3: they announced breaking news Sasha and Bianca headline WrestleMania, and

965
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 3: I'm like that should have already been known that that

966
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: was the headliner because for one, Bianca won the Royal Rumble.

967
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 2: You win the Royal Rumble, you main event WrestleMania.

968
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, it's I don't know. I we

969
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 4: we talked, well, we might have just talked about it

970
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 4: right now, I don't remember. But there was a lot

971
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 4: of people I was seeing. It just seems like the

972
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 4: some of the talk on Twitter and stuff was the

973
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 4: like the takeover last night was one of the worst,

974
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 4: and it seemed like it was over since I turned

975
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 4: it on. Yeah, well, I think a lot of it

976
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 4: was just like the mentality is just like this, this

977
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 4: is nowhere what it how it used to be, you know.

978
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 4: I mean, it just felt like at one time, every

979
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 4: time you turned on an NXT show or or a takeover,

980
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 4: it had potential to be the pay per view of

981
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 4: the year. And that was like every two months, every

982
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 4: three months when they did one, you know what I mean.

983
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 4: And I don't know, it just seems like, I don't know.

984
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's like kind of a similar

985
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 4: to the Cody thing where people are kind of turning

986
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 4: on it or just I don't know, but it just

987
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,959
Speaker 4: seems like they've they've kind of lost some luster two

988
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's you know, moving to

989
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 4: USA and trying to compete with AW and all that

990
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 4: mess that that's happened. But yeah, I don't know, it's it's.

991
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 2: Gonna be interesting.

992
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 3: And of course, uh, like I said at the beginning

993
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 3: of this, we're gonna be back and you know, if

994
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 3: we watch the current stuff, we'll talk about the current stuff.

995
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 2: If we're not watching it.

996
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 3: We're gonna tell you completely up front, and of course

997
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 3: we'll still have guests coming on the show. We'll also

998
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 3: talk about the historical moments in wrestling. So the Battleground

999
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 3: Podcast does continue regardless of you seeing the video of

1000
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 3: Sean Michael saying I lost my smile and we kind

1001
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 3: of did lose our smile for a little bit. Just

1002
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 3: full full disclosure, I guess it full Is that.

1003
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 4: The right word?

1004
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 2: Full disclosure?

1005
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 4: Full? Anyways, Yeah, I think that's right.

1006
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 3: We were kind of at the point where it was

1007
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, we weren't watching the current product,

1008
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 3: which means we weren't really putting out episode because if

1009
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 3: we weren't gonna watch the product, we weren't gonna get

1010
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 3: on here and act like we're watching it and.

1011
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: Be like, oh, did you see this? Did you see this?

1012
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 3: So we're we're just gonna get back to what we

1013
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 3: did before, where we just talked about kind of what's

1014
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 3: going on, what we've been doing, and we could talk

1015
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 3: about those iconic moments that happened in wrestling history, because

1016
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 3: we know a lot about that, and of course if

1017
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 3: you want to, we'll what we'll do is we'll let you,

1018
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,520

1019
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,600

1020
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,920
