Last night aw Dynamite, and boy was there 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:00.200 some great wrestling on that show. There's four tournament mans 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.520 and one of them was quick because they want to 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.480 kind of give you the impression that a match can 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.560 end at any time. But the rest of them were, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.000 I mean, they were great. So we'll talk about that 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.800 here tonight. And we've got matches coming up for Saturday 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.160 as well. We've got liners for SmackDown and Collision and 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.680 pretty much everything coming up.

Dave's 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.600 got a huge story up on the front page, which 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.200 actually was originally going to be a cover story for 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.160 an Observer, but there's no Observer this week, so you 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.160 can read that for all of the latest. Also got 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:56.080 updates on Jim Ross the NXT ratings from Tuesday. We're 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.440 not going to give spoilers for the Rampaide Show. People 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.440 getting mad about that, but there is definitely a match 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.520 that apparently you have to see on the Rampage Show 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.000 on Friday.

Mike 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.080 Simper VB also of Wrestling Observer dot com. Lots of 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.479 news to get into here today. There's a giant article 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:34.640 on the front page of Wrestling Observer dot com, which 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.479 is noted originally was going to be a cover story 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.160 in The Observer, but no new Observer this week, so 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.320 it's going up here, and it's all about. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:44.760 Raw. 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:51.200 Where is raw going? The WWE wrights renewals and the 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.760 a w rights renewals will end up being the two 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.760 most important prossing stories of the next year, Dave writes. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:01.640 From the start, Analyston believed NBC, which would be USA Network, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:08.520 Disney which would be FX, Amazon Prime, and WBD we're 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:12.160 all potential suitors for the show that starts its thirty 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.480 second year in a few weeks. WBD, due to its 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.320 affiliation with aw was always considered a long shot. Word 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.640 going around was AWBD was no longer in the game. 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:28.200 As of October, Cmpunk's signing with Open Doors up since endeavors. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.640 Mark Shapiro, along with Nick con and Paul Leveck had 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:37.960 a meeting with WBD on Monday morning. What report we 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:39.520 had was a PUNK was a major part of the 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.840 pitch id he'd be a regular on the Raw brand report. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.000 We had included pushing his merchandise sales, social media views 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.840 along with ratings of recent shows. Obviously, the situation is 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.400 back wide open. This greatly effects AW, which is also 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.680 been in talks with WBD a number of deals besides 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:02.480 just television rights renewals, including potential streaming. WBD gets a 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.440 cut of aw streaming pay per view through Bleacher Report. 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.840 While never acknowledge, there is the belief WBD owns points 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.480 in aw Dony Khon never denied it when asked, only 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.320 saying that he has one hundred percent of the voting 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.520 and decision making power. Now, we just talked earlier in 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:28.360 the week the WWE mlw antitrust lawsuit was settled, and 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:34.360 given that there was a lawsuit, given that it was settled, 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.960 I mean, on the surface, it would seem just wild 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.120 the idea that WWE would try to get Raw on 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:49.520 WBD as a way to get AW off WBD. Okay, Now, 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.120 some things have changed in the sense that the Vince 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:59.640 McMahon and the Vince McMahon family do not own WWE anymore. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.760 Endeavor does, and when Vince was in charge. Vince was 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.800 very specific about, you know, there have to be we 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.880 have to have an exclusive. We could be the only 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:15.520 pro wrestling program on USA, for example. And in fact, 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:21.680 the irony is the whole reason that UFC is where 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:26.480 it is today is because how long would it be? 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:32.400 Fifteen almost twenty years ago, UFC decided that they wanted 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:37.439 to do this reality show, The Ultimate Fighter, and it 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.800 was going to be on the USA network or was 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.640 it was it Spike then they might have been spikeing 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.880 with Spike, So they were gonna put on Spike and 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.480 they had to have Vince McMahon. Okay, this because Vince 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.480 had an exclusive, and Vince could have very easily said 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.880 that ain't gonna happen, and had he said that, I mean, 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.920 we may not even have UFC today, it maybe like, 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.839 you know, we'd be watching Pride shows or something I 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.920 don't know in Japan but not here. But for whatever reason, 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.760 Vince was like, all right, you can put it after Raw, 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.800 no big deal, And that was the beginning of the 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.719 explosion of UFC, which has continued to this day and 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.320 it actually has now led to UFC and WWE basically 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:26.079 merging as TKO. So that's ironic. But anyway, since Endeavor 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:34.120 took over, well, now you know UFC PFL, they have 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.640 no problem with PFL also being on ESPN or whatever 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.640 channel UFC will be on, So I don't. I mean 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.000 the belief is, and actually we kind of know this. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:48.920 Actually the CW deal with NXT that is not an exclusive. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.599 So the NWA, you know, they've got a show on 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.120 CW streaming, and who knows, they may end up with 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:02.720 a show on CW proper. So basically what I'm saying 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:09.120 here is if RAW goes to TBSTNT or a different 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.800 WBD property, like, that's not a guarantee that they would 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:19.880 not also negotiate with AW. Now the problem is if WWE, 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:25.240 if RAW goes to WBD, an exclusive may be irrelevant 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.120 because if they pay four hundred million dollars for the 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.600 rights for RAW, do they have any money left over 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.600 to offer AW eighty million dollars or whatever it would 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.400 take to keep AAW. So you know, whether there's an 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:43.839 exclusive or not, WWE going to TBS or TNT that 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:50.599 could absolutely have serious ramifications on AW in terms of 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.640 they may not be able to get on WBD for 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.160 this next deal and their deals coming up within a year, 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.240 so obviously you know there would be other options for 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.840 which to shop around, aw you. But that's the update. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:08.559 There are still discussions. And my guess is that you know, 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.240 my wild prediction is, what's that I'm going on vacation 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.079 next week, having to be gone the entire week. It 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.439 is surely going to happen at some point next week 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.200 when I am gone, That's my prediction. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.720 Will you be sitting in green sand here? 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.640 There isn't any probably not. 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.280 Dave exposed what Rocky was on, didn't he? But you know, 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.240 I gotta say, and I hate to be a dour 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:37.360 presence here, but you say there's other options for aw boy, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.240 I'll tell you what if WWE were and I don't 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.559 think that they will, but if they were to get 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:48.920 on WBD. The problem with AEW is every suitor that 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:55.520 wanted professional wrestling, that was open to professional wrestling, NBC Universal, WBD, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.880 they'll already have it CW. They are already gonna have that. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.640 You've already talked with CW and you said no to 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.720 them before, so you know it's going to be tough 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.880 to go back a second time around at that point. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.679 What that does to you is you have to use 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.600 every tool at your disposal to try to open up 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.880 Paramount and CBS and Showtime maybe to be interested. However 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.480 that conglomerate works at this point to maybe try to 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.000 get on there and maybe they can host your streaming service. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.520 Paramounts got really not a whole lot. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:31.160 Man. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.240 The AW library might look pretty good on there, but 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.360 from there it's Amazon Prime. They'll pay you. But again 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.800 there's a concern, at least in my eyes, over whether 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.199 that's a good move or not. I worry about it 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.600 for WWE visibility wise and interest wise. I worry about 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.080 it even more when it comes to AW. So it's 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:56.040 going to be really again, I don't think it's going 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.440 to happen, But say that were to happen and they 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.079 go with WWE and the other money they're spending is 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.199 on the NBA, it's gonna be a tough road to hoe. 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.400 And I don't want to be the secondary. I don't 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.240 want to be on Discovery, where all those executives in 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.120 that side of things already hates me anyway. I don't 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.160 want to be on True TV. Nobody takes True TV 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.880 seriously anyway. And then if WWE's on one. That's where 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.000 you're gonna get moved to. Because I tell you what, 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.480 Raw ain't gonna be on True TV, that's for sure. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.280 You know, DJ says before anyone panics, WBD paying that 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.080 much for one show is deeply unlikely. Well, it may 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.240 be the idea of three hundred and eighty to four 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.920 hundred million for Raw. Perhaps that is unlikely. But you 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:42.160 know the question is, okay, well, could they afford three 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:49.320 twenty and would WWE accept three twenty as opposed to 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.120 three eighty or four hundred if they felt that, Well, 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.720 we ain't gonna make what we wanted. But you know what, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.280 that may handle that aw problem. I don't know this 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:05.280 Nick conn this guy. Let me tell you this guy. Yeah, 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.360 and we'll know a lot more here soon. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.920 And I left Disney FX out of that conversation when 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.560 he came to Tony Kahn because I believe and I 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.800 got look, and I could be dead ass wrong here. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:21.120 I gotta believe that if Disney FX doesn't have WWWE, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.440 they the relationship that they have with ESPN, WWE does. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.680 I don't think they're gonna want to screw that up. 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.680 And I don't think that ESPN and Disney will necessarily 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.280 care if they don't have any wrestling on, considering they 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.160 haven't already, so I don't know it'll be interesting, although 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.200 again FX could definitely use something to jumpstart him a 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.000 little bit, and aw's numbers could do that. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.200 I get on with more Observer Live. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.320 You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.040 and Mike simper Vivi on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.360 Hey, sticky to the top of my Twitter at Brian 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:30.200 Albarez is a link to the Whale Scout guest host auction. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:34.160 If you'd like to guest co host this show, Filthy 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:38.120 for Daily, or any of the Brian and Vinnie shows, well, 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.240 you can bid right now.

X. 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.200 Well, let's talk about a little bit more here. We 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.639 got other news to get into. Jim Ross gave a 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.040 health update, hoping to be back by World's end December thirtieth. 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.760 Still has some health issues to address, says he's taken 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.000 a date at a time. I feel great. My leg 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.240 hurts all that stuff. That's nothing new. It's an open wound. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.640 It's been open for over a year, which is not good, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.920 he said. The suspected reason the leg hasn't healed is 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.639 due to having high blood sugar levels. He has been 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.640 taking insolent injections. Recently his levels have come down considerably. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.920 The medicines are working. Mentally, feels like he's back in 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.159 the hunt. No idea what the future is at aw 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.960 has no clue, very frank about it. He's not worried 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.040 about it. My work should stand on its own after 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:46.480 fifty years, he says. 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:47.280 It does. 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.240 Sometimes I worry too much, so, he said. He hoped 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:55.360 to be back by World's End, which is on the thirtieth, 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.320 and we're starting to get a card for World's End. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.440 We'll get to a little bit later as we do 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:04.400 the The Dynamite Report World Famous A world famous dynamite Report, 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.000 by the way, as noted earlier, no spoilers, but there 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.560 is a top flight Darius Dante and Action Andretti versus 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:19.200 Penta Commander and the Kingo main event on Friday night 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:25.959 that man I was told that like it was unbelievable. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.040 And keep in mind, keep in mind this is from 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.720 people that saw the rest of Dynamite last night. So 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.080 if you saw like the Moxley Swerve match and that 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.760 Mark Brisco match, I mean, there were so many great 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.400 matches on Dynamite, but this is the one that people 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.440 were like, you must see this match. So anyway, said 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.560 to be out of this world. So main events, they 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:51.560 do moves, lots of them. Oh they'll do moves, all right, 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.840 hope that's another spoiler. They will definitely do moves.

It might be 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:48.639 let's see if we've got an update on that. Actually, 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.879 all right, it's a final battle Friday night Honor Club. 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.520 Let's see if Russell Ticks is updated. It's always fun 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.400 to just do this on the air. 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:08.680 Absolutely no up.

So that is 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:33.520 the update. And then Friday we've got SmackDown, the Return 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.720 of Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:41.800 and Carmelo Hayes gets his shot in the US Title 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:48.440 Contenders Tournament Collision.

I'm sorry the Jesus. 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.880 By the way, I did like when you said when 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.200 he went into it was not NXT. How you said 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:50.800 it with Dave, it sounded like you said Sonata NXT 0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:53.760 and like that's the worst way I think you could 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:55.920 insult in a next show by saying it was a 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:57.040 Sonata NXT. 0:22:57.480 --> 0:22:58.960 Wow you like that guy? 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:04.680 Wow? I don't. I don't dislike Sonata. He's just fine. 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:07.200 He's fine. 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:09.280 He's missing mister average. 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:13.600 He basically is mister average. He can have well above 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.200 average matches, that's it. Yeah, But like other than that, 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.800 he's mister average. He's the look when they it's literally 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:21.360 just a guy. That's his gimmick. 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:26.000 When they talk about tangibles, when they have that it's blank, 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:29.560 that's who they introduce these guys. It's like these really 0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.280 aren't intangibles, Like the intangibles are the things that you 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:37.639 know guys like Unfortunately Sonata are missing. A lot of 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.520 people believe that about Jay Lethal, another guy that I 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.359 like that, a lot of people just don't, like, can't believe. 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:48.240 No one doesn't like, oh you look Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett. 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.400 There's a lot of people who over the years. 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.600 Oh my god, whoever said is Sonata in New Japan's 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:57.720 miss please? I mean, come on now, that's that's that's ridiculous, 0:23:57.840 --> 0:23:58.760 Come on, ridiculous. 0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:01.840 Ms never had an awesome main like a Sonata had 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:03.320 when he had the beard and the hair and he 0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:04.200 looked incredible. 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:09.399 Yeah, that's the other thing too, like he his his 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:14.000 new generic look. It's like, bro, what are you doing? 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.880 Like you had something that's stuck out for a while there, 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.560 like the only thing, but then you just got. 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:19.760 Rid of it. 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:24.440 The just five guys stable, it's like they were going 0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:28.320 to be presented as like this older group of gentlemen 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:31.520 essentially is what they were until they just recently introduced 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:35.240 Yuwu Mura into their camp. But like that was fine 0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.280 to do the change and give him the belt. But 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.320 it's like, Okay, this is a big sinker swim for 0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:43.919 him career wise because his legacy kind of like rests 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:48.800 on this. Can he get into the Naiato and Knakamura 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.720 in Tanahashi level or is he always going to be 0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.720 right here? And unfortunately for him, with the way this 0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.000 title reign went, he's always going to be right here. 0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:03.120
