1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: It's a Battle.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 3: Brown, Battle Brown, Battle Brown podcast. You know, I got

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 3: to sit here and reflect for a second before we

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 3: get into our interview with Tony Kahan.

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: Hey, what's going on? It's battle Uh here we are.

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: This is episode number three hundred and fifty five. Now,

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: I will tell you when I started this podcast back

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen, I didn't start it as a wrestling podcast.

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 3: I started it as a podcast to just put up

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: interviews from my radio show. And you know, we've had

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 3: when we first started out, like Hangman Adam Page was

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: the first guest we ever had, and at the time

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 3: he was the Ring of Honor six man tag champ

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: with the Young Bucks. And then it went from Hangman

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 3: Adam Page to God Rest his Soul, Rip, Bob Saggatt

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: to John love It. I mean, we had everybody on here, right,

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: and then eventually we're like.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: Hey, let's just stick to wrestling.

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: And obviously it's turned out pretty well because here we

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: are episode three hundred and fifty five.

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: Which is just crazy to think about.

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: That Royal rumble over the weekend. Yeah, that was interesting.

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: I saw where ww's like, we're not gonna put led

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: lights on our seats anymore. I will say that it's

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: cool of a concept as it is. I don't know

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: if I would have put the lights on it, because

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: it did look very empty in the stadium. Now we

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 3: all saw the photos of everything, and there were people

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: there the lights.

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: It was not good on TV.

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, obviously Royal rumble over the weekend, Lived Morgan

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: winning it for the women, Roman Reigns winning it for

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: the men's, So it should be fun to see how

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 3: that all plays out. Of course, so we're getting Roman

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: and seeing Punk at WrestleMania, which will be fun. And

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: of course I think there was like some reports out

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: there saying that they're not gonna do the whole theatrical thing.

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: They're gonna go old school where they're actually gonna show

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: up on.

41
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: Raw every week and cut promos on each other, which

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: to be completely think that's what we need. So it'll

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: definitely be fun to watch those two go at it

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: on the MIC and then seeing them headline WrestleMania. Also

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: another news last night, former guests of the show Joe

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: Hendry picking up a big win, winning the vacated NXT

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: Championship in that brutal ladder match it was down to

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: him and Ricky Saints, and he shoved Ricky Sanks Saints

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: off the ladder and Joe Hendry picked up the win

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: last night. Although I did say his name, he hasn't

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: appeared just yet, but if you go back a few episodes,

52

00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 4: thanks for having me on today. It's gonna be a

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 4: great AW Wednesday night, Dynamite tonight. I'm very excited and

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: it's always great to be on your show.

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: It's always great to have you and of course aw

67
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: Dynamite tonight. I mean you look at the photo right

68
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: there behind you. That's obviously a dream match. A lot

69
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 3: of people want to talk about what's it like now

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: being able to have Andrade back on TV and being

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: able to put him in matches like this with Kenny tonight.

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: This is a huge match with massive stakes. I'm so

73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: excited for tonight's show. It is so great to have

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 4: Andradi Ledlo back in AEW. I think Andrade is better

75
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 4: than ever right now, and it's so great to have

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: Kenny Omega in top form. When Kenny Omega is firing

77
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: on all cylinders, Aw's at its best, and it's great

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: to have Kenny at his best, Androtti at his best,

79
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be an awesome dynamite. There's a lot

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: of really great things happening in AW right now, So

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: it's a great time for me to come back to

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: the Battleground with a huge Wednesday night dynamite plan for tonight.

83
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you talk about the best, and we all

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: know that AWS were the best wrestle and one of

85
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: the big signings that you recently got to Maso Champa

86
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: which shocked everybody coming to AW and literally second night

87
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: there when's the TNT title, So quickly walk us through it.

88
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: How did it all come together?

89
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: Kind of behind the scenes, pulled the curtains back and

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: why put the title on him so quickly?

91
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: I thought it was a very exciting thing. It was

92
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 4: an awesome collision this past Saturday. After a really great

93
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 4: Dynamite last Wednesday, I thought we followed up with a

94
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: really tremendous live collision. It was our last collision in

95
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: the Dallas residency. We were in Arlington around the Dallas

96
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: Metroplex and we'd had these great events and because Dallas

97
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: had been hit hard with the weather and the fans

98
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 4: were unable to come out, you know, a lot of

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: events got canceled, and for us, we ended up moving

100
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: the Collision show two saturdays ago.

101
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: So I wanted to give the fans something really really special.

102
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: And when Champa became available, I thought that was such

103
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 4: an exciting development. He's such a great wrestler, he has

104
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: great history and ring of honor, and he's never been

105
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 4: in AW and talk about somebody who is a fantastic wrestler.

106
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: AW is where the best wrestle.

107
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 4: So when the top free agents become available, I've always

108
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: wanted to sign them, whether it's somebody who's never wrestled

109
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 4: in AW before, like Tomaso Champa the new TNT Champion

110
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: after this fantastic match he had versus Mark Briscoe for

111
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: the TNT title.

112
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: I thought that was just outstanding.

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: And whether it's a new free agent, somebody that's never

114
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 4: been here like Champa, or somebody coming back like Andradi

115
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: Ledlo making his return to aw and somebody that's wrestling

116
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 4: I believe again better than ever going into their match

117
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: against one of the best wrestlers ever. In my opinion,

118
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 4: Kenny Omega and I cannot wait for this Dynamite Tonight.

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a fantastic show. We're coming off this

120
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: great collision. Like you mentioned, we have a new TNT champion,

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: and tonight on TBS and you can stream it on

122
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: HBO Max. This is the kind of wrestling show I've

123
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: always wanted to put on TBS, to have such a

124
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: stack lineup of big matches like we have tonight, And

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: certainly when you talk about huge matches, I'm so excited

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: for Kenny Omega versus Andrade Ledelo and a lot more

127
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 4: to talk about, a lot more to look forward to

128
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: on Dynamite Tonight. And I always love being on the

129
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: show with you, Tim, Thanks for having me on. You've

130
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: always been somebody that's given AW great coverage and give

131
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: us a chance to talk about why all elite wrestling

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 4: is where the best wrestle and even coming to the

133
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 4: show with your son and sit in ringside as a

134
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: fan and making a fan out of your son. I

135
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: always love being on your show. So thanks for having

136
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: me on to talk about AW tonight.

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we always love having you on here, and

138
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: it's always always great getting to talk with you. And

139
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: you know, we've talked about this and everybody from the

140
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: roster that's been on, they have hammered it home. AW

141
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: is where the best wrestle and one of the best

142
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: wrestlers I would say of all time.

143
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: You and I both could probably agree. Is Sting?

144
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: Something really cool recently that I saw on social media

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: is Sting's son, Steve Borden using Sting's old WCW theme

146
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: song that Tobo charged. How did that come about and

147
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: who made that call?

148
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to use that song. It was my idea.

149
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: It's a song that was in a library and we

150
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: made a deal to get a certain number of plays.

151
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: We haven't used it on air yet, but we have

152
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 4: a deal to use turbo Charge which is a track

153
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: that was available through a music library, and I love

154
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: licensing great music and that's one of my favorite songs

155
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: for my childhood. I think about it all the time,

156
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: and I thought it would be really cool for Steven

157
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: to come out to it. And Steven still has never

158
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: been on a you TV. But he's somebody we're developing,

159
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: and I have so much respect for Steven. He's a

160
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: rising young wrestler. He played college football at Kentucky. I

161
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: followed his football career and now I'm proud to say

162
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: we're working on developing him as a pro wrestler for

163
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: AEW again. AW we have the greatest wrestlers in the

164
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: world and one of the all time greats. Somebody who

165
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: was undefeated in AW is sting and absolutely Stephen in

166
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: developing him for the future is a huge priority to

167
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: me and everyone in AW.

168
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely for sure.

169
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: And you talk about developing that young talent, and of

170
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: course you know there was talks about you know, Edge

171
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 3: or Adam Copeland and FTR kind of opening up a

172
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 3: school in the Carolina.

173
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: Is some other stuff.

174
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: How does one develop, you know, an up becoming wrestler

175
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: if you don't have like kind of like a home

176
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: base like a training facility.

177
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 4: Well, we have training facilities, and we've had Steven stay

178
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: for extended periods. There's great aw First of all, that

179
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: Adam Copeland and FTR school. I've always been really excited

180
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: about the idea of that. It's a really personal set

181
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 4: of differences that's happened with FTR and Adam Copeland. When

182
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: you bring somebody's family into it, when you attack someone's family,

183
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: that changes things. And there's a lot of animosity between

184
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: FTR and Adam Copeland, so that really makes it untenable

185
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: for them to go do this school, which I was

186
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: so excited about. I think that would be another great

187
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: place in Ashville, North Carolina where we have these great

188
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: wrestlers if they could ever get back on the same page.

189
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: Right now, I don't know if that'll ever be possible,

190
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: but certainly you have these great wrestlers there in that base.

191
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 4: In the New York area, Pat Buck is a great trainer.

192
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: In Atlanta, QT Marshall trains, Dustin Rhodes is training wrestlers

193
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: in Texas. We have some of the best trainers developing

194
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 4: wrestlers in the different areas. So absolutely the wrestlers have

195
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 4: gone there. Benefited. Steven's done a lot of training and

196
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 4: development work with US in Texas, but also in going

197
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: Georgia in the Nightmare Factory and working with Qt's wrestled

198
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: against QT, and for me, absolutely, I think that having

199
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: a base is important, but that's also why it's important

200
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 4: to wrestle in front of crowds and different crowds. So

201
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: we've had Steven wrestling dart matches right now and working

202
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: on building him for the future because he's somebody I

203
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: think has tremendous star potential, certainly the great genetics, but

204
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: somebody I followed as an athlete. Again going back to

205
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: when he was a college football player, he played tight

206
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: end at Kentucky.

207
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: He was very good in the blocking.

208
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: They didn't give him chances in the past game as

209
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: much because they didn't throw the ball back then to

210
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 4: the tight end as much. But there's some great people

211
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 4: there at University of Kentucky, at the program at the time.

212
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: There's been some great people since, including Liam Cohen, head

213
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: coach of the Jeguars. And Steven certainly was a great

214
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: football and that's actually when I first met him with

215
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 4: scouting football and have stayed in touch with him over

216
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: the years, and he's a tremendous athlete, and I'm really

217
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: glad that he wants to get in the ring and wrestle,

218
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: So something I'm excited about for the future of AW.

219
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

220
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think we're all excited, especially with that lineage

221
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: of who his dad is. Obviously, it's gonna be fun

222
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: to watch him come into who Steve Borden is and

223
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 3: jump out of his dad's shadow for sure. Now when

224
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: you look at the roster for aew, it's stacked from

225
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: top to bottom, both men and women's division, and you know,

226
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: as as the guy that holds the pencil to try

227
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 3: to figure out who gets what TV time. I know

228
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: that you have said before and everybody's asked about about

229
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: Britt Baker's return at some point soon, just trying to

230
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 3: kind of get her into the fold with a lot

231
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: of storylines that are going on right now. Any any

232
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: update on potentially when we could see her back or

233
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: you asked, I really like Britt a lot, and I

234
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: think there's there's so many exciting things happening in the

235
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 3: women's division, So Britt somebody I really like and respect

236
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: a lot and definitely think.

237
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: As we've evolved with more tag teams and singles wrestling

238
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: opportunities now across multiple shows. Now that we have four

239
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 4: hours of TV with Dynamite and Collision, I think there's

240
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: gonna be more and more opportunities. You're seeing them signing

241
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: a lot more young wrestlers, and BRIT's still somebody very

242
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: highly regarded and respected here in AW. So I would

243
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: expect to see Britt back in AW. I just don't

244
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: want to say when.

245
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: Well, we'll just have to tune into AW every week, Dynamite, Collision,

246
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: everywhere else in between, because you never know when she's

247
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: gonna pop up, Because I mean, Tony's not gonna tell us, hey,

248
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: BRIT's gonna be there tonight.

249
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: You just have to watch the programming.

250
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: It's good to be a good thing for everybody when

251
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 4: Britt returns, and I think it's going to be very

252
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 4: very good in terms of for AW right now. When

253
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 4: you look at how the roster has evolved, there's more

254
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 4: and more fresh matches, there's a lot more people to

255
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: wrestle and fresh rivalries, chance to revisit old rivalries. But

256
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: certainly the women's division, I think we've grown so much

257
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: and added new stars in the past year alone. So

258
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: many great young wrestlers that have come into AW. So

259
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: I think there's going to be more fresh matchups and

260
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: rivalries and Britt somebody I would absolutely love to have

261
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: back in AW soon.

262
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 3: Oh man, It'll be an exciting time for sure. I

263
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: can't wait to hear that pop on TV when it happens.

264
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: You know the Fight Forever game that was a big

265
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: cultural win for AEW putting a wrestling video game out there?

266
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: Is there any talks because I knew that there was

267
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: some rumblings online. Is there talks for maybe another AW

268
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: video game or is it kind of more focusing on

269
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: the real wrestling and not the video game wrestling?

270
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: Well, at some point I would like to have more games,

271
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: and we have released games on different platforms, mobile games,

272
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: and I think that absolutely there's going to be more

273
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 4: and more opportunities.

274
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: I really your point.

275
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: I try to focus as much as possible on the wrestling.

276
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: It's a wrestling show. We put on wrestling shows, live

277
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: events and TV every week, including tonight eight pm Eastern,

278
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: seven pm Central. Where you're located, tim It'll be on

279
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: tonight hours from now and every Wednesday night and Saturday night.

280
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: We always try to put on the very best show,

281
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: and I think we're off to a great start in

282
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: twenty six, and by focusing on the wrestling and really

283
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: making that the thing I care about the most, the

284
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: thing I look at the most. Making the shows good,

285
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: the rivalry strong, and putting on great pay per view

286
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: events is something we've always really succeeded at, and our

287
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 4: TV shows I think have been more consistently excellent in

288
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: the past couple of years than ever before. Now that

289
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: we have this really great thing with Wednesday night TBS

290
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 4: and Saturday night TNT and all the shows being available

291
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: on HBO Max, we've really settled in this past last

292
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: year and the accolades that have poured in for twenty

293
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: twenty five here in the beginning of twenty six, it's amazing.

294
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: It's such an incredible thing. And to have.

295
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: Huge outlet like Sports Illustrated choose AW as the best

296
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 4: pro wrestling promotion in the world, and to have the

297
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: top outlets like ESPN, Sports Illustrated and Yahoo all picking

298
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 4: AW events as their favorite event of the year. But

299
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: then you've got for just as an example, ESPN said

300
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 4: they thought the best wrestling show all year was AW Revolution.

301
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 4: We've had Sports Illustrated and numerous outlets saying that they

302
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: thought the best event all year was Double or Nothing,

303
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: and then we've had the New York Post, Yahoo Fight Full,

304
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: so many wrestling sources saying aw All in Texas was

305
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 4: the best wrestling event of the year. So for me,

306
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 4: I think that really the kind of coverage and the

307
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: kind of success we.

308
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: Had in twenty twenty five.

309
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: Being so positive, I think that in twenty twenty six

310
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: we set a really high standard for ourselves, and so far,

311
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: I think we're off to a great start. Revolution is

312
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: going to be an awesome show March fifteenth on pay

313
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: per view. We're heading to Grand Slam Australia coming up

314
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 4: in a few weeks, and tonight we've got this massive,

315
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: massive show.

316
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: It's a stack lineup.

317
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 4: In addition to the Kenny Omega Andreda Alitolo match we

318
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 4: talked about, I'm very excited to have MJF in an

319
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: eliminator match against Brody King tonight. That's going to be

320
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: tremendous and a lot more to look forward to on

321
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: this show as well.

322
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: I have to say.

323
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: Tim coming in since I saw you very recently, just

324
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: in the past couple months in person at the show

325
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: and that was I believe Thanksgiving Eve Boy. There's been

326
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: a lot of them amazing stuff since then. It's you know,

327
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 4: it wasn't that long ago that I saw you around

328
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 4: the holidays, and think about all the great things that

329
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 4: have happened. John Moxley was victorious and what I think

330
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: might have been the greatest wrestling tournament I've ever seen

331
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 4: in my life, the Continental Classic. In twenty twenty five,

332
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 4: we've got this fascinating World Championship scene MJF tonight in

333
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: the eliminator match with Brody King. Everybody's chasing this opportunity

334
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 4: to go to Revolution and fight whoever the champion is.

335
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: MJF.

336
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: Possibly could be Brody King getting a title shot after

337
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: tonight as well. So many things happening in AW and

338
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 4: big time rivalries, big time matches, And I have to say, Tim,

339
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 4: you've been here ringside literally at times and certainly figuratively.

340
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 4: I think I've probably been on your show more times

341
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 4: than any other guest over the years, and I really

342
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 4: appreciate that. I think that you've always been so kind

00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 4: kindness to you. I'm really grateful for the chances you

345
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 4: give me to talk about our shows, including the one

346
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 4: tonight on TBS.

347
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it's always, like I said, always an honor

348
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: or privilege to have you on the show. I mean,

00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: AW has been in here.

351
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: And you know, and and you're always good.

352
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: And Liam's always asking about, you know, what's Tony doing?

353
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: And he like tells me, if hey, can you can

354
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: you email him I have an idea for a match,

355
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 3: And I'm like, sure, I'll eat My nine year old

356
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: wants to email Tony a match idea, so I'll tell

357
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: him that he's been practicing with his wrestling figures.

358
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: But again, we thank you for for everything that you

359
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: do for us.

360
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: And you know, with with with all this new content, Dynamite, Collision,

361
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: pay per views, everything, how do you balance giving you know,

362
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: legends their due while making space for fresh stars.

363
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 4: I think every week we're trying to constantly give opportunities

364
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 4: to the very best wrestlers, which is the AAW roster.

365
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of great people here and absolutely

366
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: every week I'm trying to put on a great show

367
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: but also build matches for the future and keep a

368
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 4: lot of wrestlers in the mix. I think over the

369
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 4: past year you've seen so many great matches on AWTV,

370
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: featuring so many different women and men, and in twenty

371
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: twenty six, you can expect that to continue. We have

372
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 4: a really deep roster and we're building exciting rivalries, some

373
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: new teams being formed, and that is also one of

374
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: the reasons I'm really excited about the women's tag team

375
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 4: division now giving us more opportunities to feature more women

376
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: in more exciting matches. And also we already have the

377
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 4: best tag team wrestling in the world. We have for years,

378
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: great teams that have been around, like the Young Bucks

379
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: and FTR, new teams like Broddo one of the best

380
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 4: teams of the year, and absolutely now with some of

381
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: the top women's tag teams as well.

382
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: So singles and tag teams.

383
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 4: Aw is where the best wrestle and I'm excited about

384
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: giving more and more young wrestlers these opportunities. So I've

385
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: tried to add a lot of great young wrestlers to

386
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: the roster in the past year and particularly in recent months,

387
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 4: and we're giving them opportunities, but also giving great chances

388
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 4: to the veteran stars, including some of them that have

389
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 4: been in aw from the very beginning.

390
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: Right absolutely, And of course you said you've got You've

391
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: got multiple times a week that you can watch wrestling

392
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 3: when it comes to aew.

393
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: You got Wednesday night Dynamite.

394
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: Would you can watch Tonight eight seven Central TBS, HBO Max,

395
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: you got Collision on Saturdays. You've got ROH during the

396
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: week as well. Is there any update that you could

397
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: give us about possibly an ROH TV deal? Is that

398
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: still kind of in the works or is that anything

399
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: you want to say.

400
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: I definitely am still evaluating the best opportunities for a

401
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 4: w and ROH strategically and trying to put on exciting events.

402
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: ROH has had so many great matches, even recently, I'm

403
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: excited about the upcoming Global Wars.

404
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: ROH Metroplex show.

405
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: We filmed some great stuff for ROH that's going to

406
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: be airing in the weeks to come. We have top

407
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 4: champions there, and I'm really proud of what we did.

408
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 4: I think twenty twenty five it was my favorite year

409
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 4: start to finish of all the ROH The first year

410
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 4: we had three excellent pay per views with some of

411
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 4: the best wrestling matches I think ever, including to me,

412
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 4: the FTR versus the Brisco's trilogy, probably the greatest tag

413
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 4: team wrestling trilogy ever and one of the greatest wrestling

414
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 4: trilogies I think ever, And what a great privilege it

415
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 4: was to work with the late great Jay Brisco as

416
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 4: well as Mark Brisco and of course FTR, the AW

417
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 4: World Tag Team Champions and doing these ROH shows. I

418
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 4: think this year we put on great pay per views

419
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 4: and also had great TV events. We had Global Wars

420
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 4: Mexico and huge matches all over the world, so we

421
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 4: did some really exciting things and the people who watched ROH,

422
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: I really believe, would tell you that a lot of

423
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: the best wrestling in the world this past year and

424
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 4: best events came in ROH. So I can't say exactly

425
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 4: when and how we'll be showing the TV to more people,

426
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 4: but there's a great platform right now with watchrooh dot

427
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 4: Com that's does well for us, and that's why I've

428
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 4: stuck with that for now until I figure out the

429
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: best solution that works for everyone, including AW. And I

430
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: think there's a lot of exciting opportunities for AW and

431
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: ROH coming up absolutely.

432
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 3: And of course again tonight, AW Dynamite Stack Card You've

433
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: got Kenny Omega Andrade Alilalo, you got MJF and Brody King,

434
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: and you know, at the end of the day, we're

435
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: all wrestling fans. I know you're a wrestling fan. And

436
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: recently we saw the retirement of one AJ Styles, who

437
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: has a lot of history with a lot of the

438
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: roster that you have there with them. This is somebody

439
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 3: like AJ Styles mean to wrestling in general.

440
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm a huge fan of AJ Styles. I think

441
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 4: he's incredible. He's had great matches all over the world.

442
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: We were just talking about ROH. He did some incredible

443
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 4: things in ROH that are a part of our library,

444
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: and also with our partners at New Japan Pro Wrestling,

445
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 4: he was involved in some of the all time greatest matches.

446
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 4: His match with Minoro Suzuki is one of my all

447
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 4: time favorites, and he's had great matches with multiple companies

448
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: all over the world. He's never been in aw before,

449
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: but he certainly with a lot of the promotions we

450
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 4: work with, and of course in ROH. He has a

451
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: great history and for me, he's one of my all

452
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 4: time favorites. Just personally in my opinion, I think he's

453
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: one of the greatest wrestlers ever, so I have only

454
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 4: the highest praise for AJ styles.

455
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: Thanks for asking.

456
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely well, Tony.

457
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,800
