WEBVTT

00:10.460 --> 00:17.269
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome everybody to the fight game media AEW Revolution 2020 post show recap.

00:18.190 --> 00:20.052
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Jeremy Feinstein along with me.

00:20.072 --> 00:30.846
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Kyla Cash instead of Garrett Gonzalez because there's a lot going on in the media today and choices had to be made and some people shockingly do not choose wrestling.

00:30.886 --> 00:31.768
[SPEAKER_01]: It's their first priority.

00:32.128 --> 00:37.275
[SPEAKER_01]: However, we have people who do one of which Kyla Cash here with us.

00:37.795 --> 00:39.117
[SPEAKER_01]: Kyla, how are you tonight?

00:39.451 --> 00:40.515
[SPEAKER_00]: I am doing well.

00:40.655 --> 00:47.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I was one of the very few people that have split responsibilities between revolution and the Oscars.

00:48.800 --> 00:58.674
[SPEAKER_01]: I watch no Oscars, I watched no baseball, I watched entirely too much wrestling today, and I actually had a full shift at work.

00:58.854 --> 01:13.173
[SPEAKER_01]: And nothing I'm more thankful for in my life is a fantastic AEW show that as always, is a bit self-indulgent and way too bold.

01:13.894 --> 01:17.980
[SPEAKER_01]: So a little bit of the bad with a ton of the good.

01:18.685 --> 01:21.389
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was a very good show.

01:21.469 --> 01:28.338
[SPEAKER_00]: Revolution tends to be probably one of their top two shows of the year, and this show was no exception.

01:28.378 --> 01:43.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that up and down the card was some really exceptional professional wrestling, but as you always say, like the show does run a little bit long, and then you wonder, can we really appreciate how great a show is when we're here at what?

01:43.357 --> 01:46.311
[SPEAKER_00]: 10 o'clock your time, what a clock in the morning my time.

01:46.673 --> 01:52.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Can we really appreciate how great a show was when it runs that long that is always a debate.

01:52.958 --> 02:17.886
[SPEAKER_01]: I am I always appreciate these shows and I think that this in particular was probably one of the best shows they've done ever and maybe one of the best shows they've done in recent months and that's to say that they've had a lot of really good shows but I don't think that they've

02:17.866 --> 02:22.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Almost across the board there were a couple of matches that that missed on on the work rate.

02:23.014 --> 02:28.061
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you had all the returns, you know, like tonight, you had will all spray showing up again.

02:28.101 --> 02:30.124
[SPEAKER_01]: You had Copeland and Christian showing up.

02:31.006 --> 02:35.973
[SPEAKER_01]: There's other people that I'm already forgetting because they were there were coming at you hard and fast.

02:36.914 --> 02:37.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Who am I missing?

02:38.797 --> 02:47.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see a big one Jeremy, a big debut

02:47.701 --> 02:56.335
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the funniest thing about this conversation of we were having a conversation in the room.

02:56.996 --> 03:00.562
[SPEAKER_01]: Da, Dave Meltzer, myself, Trauma Rocka, a few other people.

03:00.923 --> 03:10.519
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're talking about what it would take to bring Ron around you there because Tony kind of stumbled at the last time around.

03:11.005 --> 03:19.824
[SPEAKER_01]: but man, Ronda Rousey is on a revenge tour right now and her number one target on her list for Kill Bill with TKL.

03:20.366 --> 03:20.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

03:22.244 --> 03:23.545
[SPEAKER_00]: at the very tipi top.

03:24.186 --> 03:25.107
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's two-fold.

03:25.147 --> 03:27.790
[SPEAKER_00]: You have C, W, W, Y, all the one in the same.

03:27.810 --> 03:29.371
[SPEAKER_00]: Y, I don't want to pay me.

03:29.411 --> 03:30.532
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't appreciate me.

03:30.552 --> 03:31.974
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to go where the money is.

03:32.034 --> 03:35.578
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's joined up for this fight for Netflix and May.

03:35.678 --> 03:41.303
[SPEAKER_00]: And now she is apparently aligning with A, W, for the double pay date and the promo.

03:41.884 --> 03:46.909
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that some fans hate it, but I think she is going to embrace being the villain.

03:47.089 --> 03:50.833
[SPEAKER_00]: And at some point, you're going to love the hustle sometimes, some way.

03:51.387 --> 03:59.279
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the idea of a match between Tony Storm and Ronda Rousey is fantastic, number one.

03:59.700 --> 04:18.829
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the tweet by Shayna Bayes were during the show in which he hash tag the number four and the two letters HW was very telling and if Tony and Ronda have come to an agreement

04:18.809 --> 04:27.734
[SPEAKER_01]: Then I think that spells a lot of stress and a crack in the door for WWE that they don't want.

04:28.677 --> 04:31.705
[SPEAKER_01]: And I will say.

04:33.203 --> 04:55.920
[SPEAKER_01]: The one problem with this that I think is that they were way too rapid fire with who came back and went because this happened almost like in sequence yet coping Christian you had all spray you you had wrong or rowsy and I I can't even remember this when you have so much of this stuff in this show and.

04:56.272 --> 04:59.702
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I got to go and credit you know, you get your money for us on these shows.

04:59.722 --> 05:09.893
[SPEAKER_01]: $40 versus like $30 a month for for WWE and you're getting four matches at the trickle story that they're doing versus like.

05:10.430 --> 05:21.186
[SPEAKER_01]: You're getting the grab bag of all grab that when you're watching at your W, the only thing is, you know, you're going to have a handful of blood again.

05:21.206 --> 05:36.049
[SPEAKER_00]: Literally, literally, figuratively all of that, but you're so right because, you know, when you're paying $40 for a paper view for me at W, you're going to get great matches, but you're going to get great surprises and you're going to get some moments that make you say, hmm.

05:36.029 --> 05:39.215
[SPEAKER_00]: they're taking a risk and they are hot right now.

05:39.276 --> 05:46.190
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's a funny little discourse on a social media about what is being hot and the disparity between new companies.

05:46.370 --> 05:52.943
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the disparity is right now, who is moving more tickets in terms of, I want to go see this show.

05:52.963 --> 05:57.312
[SPEAKER_00]: And for a revolution, they sew it out there building.

05:57.292 --> 06:00.478
[SPEAKER_00]: there were zero tickets remaining by the time the show started.

06:00.518 --> 06:05.067
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think for the buying public for AEW, I am invested.

06:05.087 --> 06:06.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go to your show.

06:06.991 --> 06:08.093
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to spend money.

06:08.113 --> 06:10.959
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to sit back, relax and enjoy a very long show.

06:11.420 --> 06:13.564
[SPEAKER_00]: But I know that I'm going to get my money's worth.

06:13.644 --> 06:15.268
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to be bored out of my mind.

06:15.288 --> 06:18.574
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to give me some surprises along the way.

06:18.554 --> 06:31.229
[SPEAKER_00]: that you didn't advertise, but I'm going to be surprised because you never know what you're going to get in a W and versus WWE when you get the 5 match special and you get lame surprises and you get stagnant storytelling.

06:31.349 --> 06:35.735
[SPEAKER_00]: It is night and day about the quality of what one company is giving versus the other.

06:35.775 --> 06:37.717
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

06:37.737 --> 06:43.684
[SPEAKER_01]: The other thing that I thought about distinctly during the show and I don't know if this

06:43.867 --> 06:49.154
[SPEAKER_01]: WWE Tonight WrestleMania is next month.

06:49.254 --> 06:52.358
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the next events on the calendar for wrestling fans.

06:53.179 --> 07:10.802
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I was watching this show, I felt like Tony Con just went for it in a way that like, yeah, you know, WrestleMania is coming, but we're going to make it to WrestleMania of really

07:11.609 --> 07:12.611
[SPEAKER_00]: It will not be the show.

07:13.091 --> 07:15.275
[SPEAKER_00]: If it does, I'll be amazingly surprised.

07:15.876 --> 07:18.239
[SPEAKER_00]: Either it's gonna be a flat resume in the air.

07:18.259 --> 07:20.242
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be like WrestleMania 19 and Seattle.

07:20.583 --> 07:22.986
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we're at exceeds expectations.

07:23.107 --> 07:24.669
[SPEAKER_00]: It is under appreciated for its time.

07:25.631 --> 07:32.181
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be pleasantly surprised if both nights was able to talk revolution, I don't think one night's gonna talk revolution.

07:32.201 --> 07:34.444
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't, I don't see it.

07:35.605 --> 07:48.297
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope this show like to fire under their ass, but I don't know, sometimes I think they just, they're going according to plan until they look around and say the plan is not working and then they panic.

07:48.778 --> 08:01.630
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not sure if they panicked enough or they haven't panicked enough or where they're at, but a company that really isn't panicking right now, really doesn't feel like AEW.

08:01.711 --> 08:05.083
[SPEAKER_01]: The core of their roster is the best it's ever been.

08:05.123 --> 08:07.692
[SPEAKER_01]: The match is up and down this show.

08:07.712 --> 08:11.586
[SPEAKER_01]: At least on the men's side was just

08:12.460 --> 08:18.090
[SPEAKER_01]: probably one of the best lineups of men on a roster ever.

08:18.551 --> 08:26.064
[SPEAKER_01]: The surprises on the women's side and the reliance on willow to due to matches, lean across due to matches.

08:26.585 --> 08:32.555
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a big ask, but at the same time, Tony Storm and Maria Schifier had a fantastic match.

08:33.296 --> 08:35.380
[SPEAKER_01]: And the teasing for the future,

08:35.360 --> 08:38.563
[SPEAKER_01]: really felt like there were big dates happening in the women's division.

08:38.703 --> 08:43.408
[SPEAKER_01]: So do you want to you want to get started with the recap here and get through these matches?

08:43.428 --> 08:47.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's late and we don't need to spend all night on the three cab.

08:47.532 --> 08:48.132
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't.

08:48.153 --> 08:49.073
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's get into it.

08:49.634 --> 08:49.874
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

08:49.894 --> 08:53.658
[SPEAKER_01]: So my confession to everybody that went over to Dave's house to watch a show.

08:53.958 --> 08:57.502
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought we would be able to sneak in a new Japan match from the New Japan Cup.

08:58.022 --> 08:59.363
[SPEAKER_01]: She said like watching your shows.

08:59.424 --> 09:05.029
[SPEAKER_01]: So we ended up watching you, you, we were a

09:05.009 --> 09:10.135
[SPEAKER_01]: But what we didn't count on was HBOMAP not performing up to task.

09:10.155 --> 09:11.076
[SPEAKER_01]: We tried to get in there.

09:11.216 --> 09:19.826
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we missed the boom and doom versus the infantry match where they defeated the infantry in seven minutes and 41 seconds.

09:20.306 --> 09:25.712
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we proceeded to try and purchase the paper view which was its own little bag and I'm absolutely finally made it.

09:26.213 --> 09:28.976
[SPEAKER_01]: And we got to the Will and I in Gale and we in a cross batch.

09:29.036 --> 09:34.122
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, when I was watching this, I thought, you know, you know,

09:34.372 --> 09:40.281
[SPEAKER_01]: that whoever's winning one is losing the other, but they managed to tie these two matches together.

09:40.321 --> 09:47.733
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought this was a strong showing for Lina on her own, and Willow played an edict ring general.

09:48.594 --> 09:58.129
[SPEAKER_01]: Willow won with a speaking bit of a roll up in the afterwards, Megan Bane and Wayne across attack Willow's left shoulder which played into the match later on.

09:58.270 --> 09:59.772
[SPEAKER_01]: What were your thoughts on this match?

10:00.865 --> 10:01.886
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt it was pretty good.

10:01.906 --> 10:15.344
[SPEAKER_00]: I figured that this match would not be the, we'll lead into the paper view match and I fully expect to willow to retain the title because as you said, you're gonna win one and most likely lose the other match I thought Lena Cross is very impressive.

10:15.384 --> 10:18.108
[SPEAKER_00]: And Willow is a fighting champion.

10:18.168 --> 10:20.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Good heat for this match as well.

10:20.612 --> 10:22.794
[SPEAKER_00]: Preditable outcome as I expected.

10:22.814 --> 10:28.442
[SPEAKER_00]: And then of course, the heels beat down Willow to weaken her heading into her second match.

10:29.536 --> 10:30.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

10:31.234 --> 10:33.437
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

10:34.767 --> 10:39.694
[SPEAKER_01]: It was interesting that they used the for two matches.

10:39.734 --> 10:41.637
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like, you didn't have Mercedes Monet.

10:41.657 --> 10:46.624
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't use the the brawling burns for a match.

10:46.644 --> 10:51.591
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that they really did rely on on using two of these talents packed back.

10:51.631 --> 10:54.456
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't really want them to in the future.

10:54.736 --> 11:02.327
[SPEAKER_01]: They've done that a couple of times recently with hangman page and Kevin, Kevin Knight especially.

11:02.307 --> 11:04.289
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope they refrain from that in the future.

11:04.309 --> 11:12.058
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that's a formula for pain and suffering for the fan because they're going to lose talents that way.

11:12.859 --> 11:18.066
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we've got the AEW National Title 21 Blackjack Battle Royal.

11:18.466 --> 11:29.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Blackjack part really threw people off because everyone I was watching with it actually thought it was going to be a casino gauntlet like Battle Royal where five people came out at a time.

11:29.459 --> 11:31.322
[SPEAKER_01]: And it wasn't really like that.

11:31.542 --> 11:34.146
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, uh, I got the list right here.

11:34.166 --> 11:56.597
[SPEAKER_01]: It, and I don't have it in any particular order, but we're going to go with ace Austin, Anthony Bones, Air Fox, Austin Gun, Don Castle, Daniel Garcia, Drillistico, Johnny TV, O'Clone, Juith Robinson, Shabbata, Commander, Lichesaurus, Rocky Romero, Trent

11:57.218 --> 12:09.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Jack Perry and Ricochet, the key takeaways were, most of the guys didn't really get an entrance and the ones that did were basically Jack Perry and Ricochet, Ricochet tried to come out with the games of agony.

12:10.353 --> 12:12.255
[SPEAKER_01]: They did not allow that to happen.

12:13.456 --> 12:14.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Jack Perry came out.

12:15.178 --> 12:20.704
[SPEAKER_01]: He came in with his drafts against press busts, which is sort of dropped him off.

12:21.205 --> 12:24.829
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks music played, he come out.

12:24.809 --> 12:28.434
[SPEAKER_01]: crowds just got their hands wave and they're going back and forth.

12:28.955 --> 12:42.453
[SPEAKER_01]: He stands up at the top of the ramp and he's like, look at the sky, you know, he told the promo how he used him and if dad went to the staple center and that where he got his lover wrestling and, you know, just the whole story and the whole deal.

12:42.613 --> 12:49.062
[SPEAKER_01]: And you couldn't see him, but you can almost tell that dude was having that bit of crying.

12:49.784 --> 12:56.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Just happy for him, you know, like all these guys that are kind of, you know, checking the boxes, good stuff.

12:56.830 --> 13:00.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, this was the match that we let into paper.

13:00.754 --> 13:05.738
[SPEAKER_01]: You're most of the guys got eliminated through the pre-show.

13:06.139 --> 13:09.081
[SPEAKER_01]: But we had about six to seven minutes of main current stuff.

13:09.642 --> 13:12.324
[SPEAKER_01]: Eventually it came down to Ricochet and Jack Perry.

13:12.665 --> 13:15.187
[SPEAKER_01]: They had an excellent sequence on the outside of the robes.

13:15.207 --> 13:19.791
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I don't remember exactly what the move he gave.

13:19.771 --> 13:29.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Like one of the, like a toe pay kind of thing where a spike Rick Shea on the head on the outside and Rick Shea fell through.

13:29.885 --> 13:31.848
[SPEAKER_01]: I honestly was surprised.

13:31.908 --> 13:34.391
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Rick Shea was going to kind of walk away with this one.

13:34.812 --> 13:38.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't love Jack Perry winning a title.

13:38.637 --> 13:49.371
[SPEAKER_01]: in a battle royal, it feels a little bit cheap, but I think the moment actually kind of took that all away as it means to an end, a nice start to the paper view.

13:49.832 --> 13:52.896
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you want to you're watching the zero hour, or you don't get to pay off.

13:52.956 --> 13:58.543
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, all right, who's going to win this thing coming in, pay your 40 bucks or 50 if it's not an NHB on that.

13:58.643 --> 14:01.667
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're off to the races and a fight start for the show.

14:01.727 --> 14:02.468
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you think?

14:03.089 --> 14:04.672
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was perfectly fine.

14:04.732 --> 14:06.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised about the outcome.

14:06.916 --> 14:11.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not expect Jungle Jack Perry to get the W and a battle royale.

14:12.327 --> 14:12.928
[SPEAKER_00]: It happened.

14:12.968 --> 14:16.675
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very odd that it happened on a pre-show to blend into the paper view.

14:16.715 --> 14:20.502
[SPEAKER_00]: You had to pay to basically see the finish of this battle royale.

14:20.522 --> 14:21.925
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, okay.

14:21.905 --> 14:31.602
[SPEAKER_00]: definitely a choice, but it's very difficult for me to care about this championship because it's like debt last in terms of importance in AEW.

14:31.662 --> 14:33.365
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how I feel.

14:33.426 --> 14:38.715
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like isn't an achievement for Jack Perry to appoint

14:38.695 --> 14:40.899
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not overly impressed by championship.

14:41.000 --> 14:48.214
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't care about and I totally understood the emotions too because I believe this is the seventh anniversary of his father's passing.

14:48.234 --> 14:53.003
[SPEAKER_00]: So all of that kind of rushed in in that moment for sure.

14:53.104 --> 14:57.272
[SPEAKER_00]: So it kind of, you know, add it some emotional wait to the victory.

14:57.593 --> 14:59.877
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, I don't care about this belt.

15:01.662 --> 15:08.552
[SPEAKER_01]: I asked Dave, I'm like, so do you think Jack Perry is going to other promotion and defending the title elsewhere?

15:08.932 --> 15:11.135
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, no, I'm like, okay.

15:13.639 --> 15:14.821
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fair enough.

15:16.643 --> 15:18.085
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know.

15:19.447 --> 15:21.951
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the second single title that Jack Perry's had.

15:21.991 --> 15:23.613
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.

15:23.673 --> 15:31.264
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope that he has a few substantial

15:31.666 --> 15:49.493
[SPEAKER_01]: At some point you were kind of looking at Jack Perry is a little bit higher than this and he's very comfortable in this middle of the midcard kind of top of that middle of the midcard thing you've not really upper midcard you want to argue that he is, but it just doesn't feel that way most of the time.

15:49.813 --> 15:59.648
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, yeah, that that gets us to the AEW tag team championship you have any other thoughts about this one.

16:00.623 --> 16:19.281
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I guess so I go back to the four pillars argument and how he was a pillar, Darby Allen's a pillar, Sam Gavaro was a pillar, M.J. F. S. Pillar and the only pillar truly left standing right now is M.J. F. Everybody else is down the card.

16:21.583 --> 16:29.331
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, M.J. F. will always be fed with the way that he helped.

16:29.530 --> 16:38.724
[SPEAKER_01]: Tony Conn built this company, but it just doesn't feel like Tony Conn relies on the other guys as much with all the influx of talented cat.

16:39.165 --> 16:46.295
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mentioned earlier, all of these guys that are in here, it's no, like, monthly to catch a strict one king.

16:46.315 --> 16:50.121
[SPEAKER_01]: All of these guys are above.

16:50.101 --> 16:50.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Jack Perry.

16:51.023 --> 16:54.369
[SPEAKER_01]: I would argue Kevin night Mike Bailey kind of above Jack Perry.

16:54.389 --> 16:55.110
[SPEAKER_01]: They are.

16:55.351 --> 16:56.733
[SPEAKER_01]: They know and mystical.

16:57.214 --> 16:59.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you know, definitely love Jack Perry.

16:59.719 --> 17:02.564
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to above Jack Perry.

17:02.584 --> 17:02.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

17:02.825 --> 17:03.125
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

17:03.366 --> 17:07.333
[SPEAKER_00]: Bandito above we can keep going on and on and they're all above him right now.

17:07.313 --> 17:11.120
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of those guys that you want to come you want to go great.

17:11.180 --> 17:24.586
[SPEAKER_01]: We got other guys on the roster that we could focus on and I don't know why he was away for so long for the last couple months, but he's back and I hope he's a valued contributing member of the roster.

17:25.227 --> 17:30.317
[SPEAKER_01]: But for the last couple of years he's kind of here and he's gone for a long time and he's kind of here.

17:30.297 --> 17:31.439
[SPEAKER_01]: coming on for the whole time.

17:31.819 --> 17:41.172
[SPEAKER_01]: And uh, there's a lot of hungry mouth to feed that perhaps focusing on that are there all the time might be the better play.

17:41.192 --> 17:45.498
[SPEAKER_01]: So we got the AEW tag team championship up next.

17:45.759 --> 17:51.006
[SPEAKER_01]: It was FTR, uh, defeating the young bugs in

17:51.678 --> 17:56.684
[SPEAKER_01]: could have been matched the night, could have been matched to here, could have been the flop match that people hated.

17:57.225 --> 17:59.708
[SPEAKER_01]: It goes all different places in this one.

18:00.109 --> 18:02.993
[SPEAKER_01]: I personally thought this was a fantastic match.

18:03.433 --> 18:06.397
[SPEAKER_01]: These two teams, there's no argument.

18:06.477 --> 18:08.420
[SPEAKER_01]: They are the two best tag teams in the world.

18:08.840 --> 18:10.943
[SPEAKER_01]: And they have been the two death tag teams in the world.

18:11.323 --> 18:20.335
[SPEAKER_01]: And when they get together in the ring, they may not love each other in real life, but they 100% know how to get the best out of each other

18:21.867 --> 18:28.020
[SPEAKER_00]: Well said, I did not think I was going to love the match as much as I did because we kind of saw it before.

18:28.060 --> 18:32.869
[SPEAKER_00]: First time five years ago, I really enjoyed a love letter, the tag team wrestling.

18:32.889 --> 18:35.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, can you top that in some way?

18:35.214 --> 18:39.262
[SPEAKER_00]: They did because they added a personal touch of the young bucks.

18:39.282 --> 18:40.585
[SPEAKER_00]: It's family.

18:40.565 --> 18:42.927
[SPEAKER_00]: getting the business from FTR.

18:43.368 --> 18:46.311
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you bring the family into it, it personalizes things.

18:46.371 --> 18:52.436
[SPEAKER_00]: And you get that more physical violent, emotionally driven match.

18:52.456 --> 18:59.723
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought both teams at a great job, as you said, they might not love each other, but they respect each other enough to go out there and put on a show.

18:59.764 --> 19:02.526
[SPEAKER_00]: And I love the Lakers and Celtic scholars.

19:02.686 --> 19:07.551
[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of makes sense for the venue and where they were last night at the Crypto Arena.

19:07.531 --> 19:08.473
[SPEAKER_00]: with the lakers.

19:08.854 --> 19:09.756
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what they play.

19:10.117 --> 19:13.985
[SPEAKER_00]: They won last night in that building in a nail biter against the nugget.

19:14.085 --> 19:16.050
[SPEAKER_00]: So it fits.

19:16.611 --> 19:18.555
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved everything about the match.

19:18.575 --> 19:25.270
[SPEAKER_00]: They just go out there and they just epitomize what it means to be the best hack teams on Earth.

19:26.009 --> 19:50.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Honorable mention to the children of the young but yes, who came out with the young buffs in their entrance, including I believe Nick Daughter, who managed to do a fantastic spontaneous hand spring, uh, whatever you want to call it, walked it down, uh, Dave said, that's Nick Daughter because there's no way that kids can do that.

19:52.486 --> 20:00.674
[SPEAKER_01]: That day, blocking and that I will put that down in the in the note for the show.

20:01.995 --> 20:20.232
[SPEAKER_01]: This was also the beginning of a trend tonight, where as much as the revolution fans there in Los Angeles were there for everything boy, this company broke their hearts over and over with their hometown favorites and the make a fat.

20:21.646 --> 20:25.551
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, in some ways, it was a WWE show, wasn't it?

20:25.971 --> 20:26.492
[SPEAKER_00]: It won't.

20:26.512 --> 20:28.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Town crowd is not get what they want.

20:29.396 --> 20:31.879
[SPEAKER_00]: And your main event ending was not what you expected.

20:32.700 --> 20:38.327
[SPEAKER_01]: The young bucks almost get the win with, I believe the milk's driving the BTE.

20:38.367 --> 20:46.717
[SPEAKER_01]: They do not FTR manages to turn it out with a, whoa, what's the super spatching machine?

20:47.238 --> 20:49.240
[SPEAKER_01]: Or whatever they're,

20:49.321 --> 20:49.882
[SPEAKER_01]: finishes.

20:50.002 --> 20:52.847
[SPEAKER_01]: They do it off the top rope, Kilmick Jackson.

20:53.388 --> 21:00.882
[SPEAKER_01]: He personally cut himself on the table and this dude blood buckets.

21:01.283 --> 21:07.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was the other theme of this night was the gallon bucket to blood that we got through the entire show.

21:09.197 --> 21:11.802
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I commented on

21:11.782 --> 21:27.040
[SPEAKER_01]: In the discord that you can join, the fake immediate discord, email GGF, fake immediate if you want to join and be participated in the conversations that we have during these shows and otherwise other topics and wrestling join there, but we were discussing is like,

21:27.020 --> 21:34.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, it's really great that we have all this blood before a death match of, you know, a 10th death match in the made event real great plan.

21:34.770 --> 21:36.352
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, they were not afraid of blood.

21:36.933 --> 21:41.519
[SPEAKER_01]: They were not afraid of doing one count kickouts to some tire show.

21:41.920 --> 21:46.025
[SPEAKER_01]: There was no fear in just going for it in every match.

21:46.386 --> 21:48.048
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if these agents talked to each other.

21:48.368 --> 21:54.917
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they cared, but they decided they were going to do whatever they were going to do in every match, and that

21:56.433 --> 21:57.815
[SPEAKER_00]: and they did.

21:57.875 --> 22:08.151
[SPEAKER_00]: It was blood ammonia and we had a main event that involved a lot of blood and go over this and know what, we're going to do it on most matches tonight and you're going to love it.

22:08.672 --> 22:10.875
[SPEAKER_00]: And it told different stories in various ways.

22:10.935 --> 22:11.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Jail enjoyed.

22:11.977 --> 22:13.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it get redundant?

22:13.880 --> 22:15.142
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it get numbing?

22:15.382 --> 22:16.384
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it does.

22:16.905 --> 22:21.432
[SPEAKER_00]: When you see so much blood, especially in the opening match, can you see more blood?

22:21.472 --> 22:23.655
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you feel more blood in the main event?

22:23.635 --> 22:24.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, you do.

22:24.956 --> 22:26.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you care about it as much?

22:26.598 --> 22:30.542
[SPEAKER_00]: That's always the question when you've seen it so much earlier in the show as well.

22:30.562 --> 22:37.529
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought because of the personal nature of the match, the bleeding made sense, is that the tone for the match and for the night.

22:38.511 --> 22:49.542
[SPEAKER_01]: I 100% believe that everything was forgiven by how

22:50.095 --> 22:57.584
[SPEAKER_01]: the creativity of the card and the matches and the fact that, you know, it might have been gratuitous, right?

22:58.045 --> 23:00.929
[SPEAKER_01]: It might have been over the top.

23:00.949 --> 23:02.330
[SPEAKER_01]: But it didn't feel cheap.

23:02.791 --> 23:04.133
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't feel shallow.

23:04.533 --> 23:14.806
[SPEAKER_01]: And it felt like everybody had intentionality in using it in their matches to make the match better, rather than just go nuts.

23:14.926 --> 23:15.687
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

23:15.787 --> 23:18.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it just, it felt

23:19.103 --> 23:24.469
[SPEAKER_01]: deliberate and thoughtful, and I'm not usually feeling that way about like the AEW blood.

23:25.290 --> 23:26.312
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there were too much.

23:26.752 --> 23:31.418
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I was going through the entire show again, more blood, more blood, more blood.

23:31.878 --> 23:40.508
[SPEAKER_01]: But I couldn't say that it wasn't necessary or that what they were trying to convey these matches would have been easier without blood.

23:41.309 --> 23:48.638
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope that they can exhibit some self-control, but for one night, for this night,

23:48.803 --> 23:51.163
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it worked.

23:51.224 --> 23:52.333
[SPEAKER_00]: It did, it did.

23:53.005 --> 24:23.012
[SPEAKER_00]: And for the same way that you do, as long as the blood makes sense in the context of the match and you're telling the story, then it's fine, as always we say, less is more when you're trying to make other matches feel as important when it comes to the storytelling of blood in your matches, but for this opening match, because of what FTR did the young bucks as family, yeah, let's get some blood in there.

24:22.992 --> 24:31.122
[SPEAKER_00]: We have to be a little bit more judicious on the car to justify blood elsewhere, but for this match and especially the main event, it makes sense to me.

24:31.743 --> 24:33.025
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree.

24:33.225 --> 24:33.546
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

24:34.547 --> 24:38.071
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the second match on the car to the fifth car, fifth match overall.

24:38.732 --> 24:40.815
[SPEAKER_01]: Tony Storm and Marina Schaffier.

24:41.916 --> 24:47.303
[SPEAKER_01]: And when 10 minutes, it felt like it went 15 in a good way.

24:47.523 --> 24:50.367
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like some time 15 and it goes long,

24:50.465 --> 24:53.410
[SPEAKER_01]: They managed to get a lot in that 10 minutes.

24:53.991 --> 25:02.043
[SPEAKER_01]: And the compliment that I'll give is that Tony Storm will absolutely develop as a main event act.

25:02.564 --> 25:12.700
[SPEAKER_01]: And she is made tremendous, headway in every aspect of her game since she joined AEW four years ago.

25:13.501 --> 25:17.788
[SPEAKER_01]: In addition to that, I am so impressed.

25:17.819 --> 25:35.269
[SPEAKER_01]: with what Marina Schaffier has managed to do with her time, her training, her skills and the fact that she looked at no points lost or unable to keep up or understand what she needed to do and how she and her poison what she needed to do in this batch.

25:35.810 --> 25:42.662
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a complete success to me and it was followed by Tony Storm winning

25:43.300 --> 25:49.754
[SPEAKER_01]: and crawling up the ramp in exhaustion, only do have run to Rousey into the ring.

25:49.774 --> 25:59.674
[SPEAKER_01]: An incredulous Tony Storm, then get up and confidently strolls down to the ring to face off with her.

26:00.155 --> 26:01.478
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we get,

26:02.032 --> 26:21.660
[SPEAKER_01]: What feels like the ultimate slap in the face to WWE and TKL, which is a redo of the Austin Mike Tyson pull apart from 1990s, WWE Raw, and which those two are ready to tear each other apart.

26:21.640 --> 26:27.386
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's cleverly broken up by Marina Schifier, uh, secretary punching Tony Storm to end the segment.

26:27.786 --> 26:36.955
[SPEAKER_01]: But we got, uh, Marina Schifier and Tony Storm and a no holds barred match in Fresno would not be surprised to see Ron der Rauzy there.

26:37.756 --> 26:42.781
[SPEAKER_01]: And Ron der Rauzy has a match with Gina Corona in May, May 16th.

26:43.241 --> 26:45.944
[SPEAKER_01]: So we can probably count her out of double or nothing.

26:46.384 --> 26:50.989
[SPEAKER_01]: We can probably count her out of the next paper view in a wrestling match.

26:50.969 --> 27:13.255
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would not be surprised if a double or nothing she appears in a non-rexeling role to set up something for all in with Tony Storm and in addition to that, the idea of the four horse women of MMA coming into AEW and perhaps we even get a runback of Mercedes and Ronda with a different finish this time.

27:13.676 --> 27:19.643
[SPEAKER_01]: I find utterly utterly fascinating and want to crack in the door

27:20.720 --> 27:25.393
[SPEAKER_00]: TKO's arrogance has gotten the best of them.

27:25.814 --> 27:32.192
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a bit get by AW and this is Rhonda's revenge tour to prove her point.

27:32.673 --> 27:33.596
[SPEAKER_00]: She's in great shape.

27:33.736 --> 27:34.579
[SPEAKER_00]: She looks amazing.

27:35.361 --> 27:35.742
[SPEAKER_00]: And

27:35.722 --> 27:47.838
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how the fans are going to receive her, the more she appears in a W, but as long as she embraces the booze and just embraces being disliked, then that will be to her benefit.

27:48.259 --> 27:55.689
[SPEAKER_00]: That at this point, any reaction is a good reaction for you and lean into it and be the villain and disembrace of what it is.

27:55.729 --> 27:58.573
[SPEAKER_00]: And this could be a seismic shift

27:58.553 --> 28:07.086
[SPEAKER_00]: for the AEW Women's Division because when Wanderrow is the landed in WWE, they were no female main events of WrestleMania before her.

28:07.567 --> 28:09.570
[SPEAKER_00]: And we've had it happen once after her.

28:10.090 --> 28:13.535
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think this is going to be a pivotal moment.

28:14.056 --> 28:21.928
[SPEAKER_00]: If she is committed to AEW short-term, long-term to get some key matches out of the way, and if you can get Jasmine Duke and

28:21.908 --> 28:30.742
[SPEAKER_00]: and Shayna Basler in the mix as well because I don't see her being an exti producer for long if it's not even a full-time game either way.

28:30.863 --> 28:32.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Shayna Basler if getting paid.

28:33.206 --> 28:41.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Bixler ever she goes her pay the amount of money she is going to be offered has massively increased just by the existence of Rotorouti.

28:41.500 --> 28:46.108
[SPEAKER_00]: exactly because it's going to make either TKO pay up or she's going to jump.

28:46.668 --> 28:48.572
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's like perfect for her.

28:48.692 --> 28:50.354
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm intrigued by this.

28:50.475 --> 29:03.576
[SPEAKER_00]: The reaction was interesting tonight because, you know, AW fans are not a big fan of Ronda Rousey, especially when they see her in WWE, but I don't care because wherever she goes, she creates a conversation.

29:03.556 --> 29:05.460
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just wanted to invest in care.

29:05.480 --> 29:06.822
[SPEAKER_00]: And I could tell that she cares right now.

29:07.223 --> 29:12.372
[SPEAKER_00]: She's got to act to grind with TKO, and she's going to grind that acts in a way she can wherever she can.

29:12.412 --> 29:14.857
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about you.

29:14.897 --> 29:21.970
[SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like if they put out a black shirt that said Rhonda, Death Rider, Route the on it, it will sell a lot of t-shirts.

29:22.372 --> 29:23.353
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so as well.

29:23.494 --> 29:24.495
[SPEAKER_00]: I do believe so.

29:24.515 --> 29:29.703
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that would I think that would make a lot of merchandising money and it would not go into TK's pockets.

29:30.023 --> 29:31.585
[SPEAKER_01]: It would just go into TK's pockets.

29:32.006 --> 29:35.331
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there would be a lot of people that would have to do with that course of development.

29:36.513 --> 29:38.936
[SPEAKER_01]: Q on before we move forward, let's go through some of these comments.

29:38.956 --> 29:40.378
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a lot of comments here.

29:40.719 --> 29:45.105
[SPEAKER_01]: Fernando Zayas is saying it, Boyddo Snowchist, Kila and Paul.

29:45.085 --> 29:48.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I will tell Paul that he then offered at a set high on that one.

29:48.668 --> 29:54.253
[SPEAKER_01]: Revolution will fire he says and he thought and Jeff and hangman and been denovers as L.D.

29:54.573 --> 29:54.793
[SPEAKER_01]: L.E.

29:54.813 --> 29:55.174
[SPEAKER_01]: to L.O.

29:55.554 --> 29:56.915
[SPEAKER_01]: were matched with the year candidates.

29:58.196 --> 30:00.158
[SPEAKER_01]: He else believes that Tony is a huge star.

30:00.999 --> 30:05.943
[SPEAKER_01]: David Valentine asked you, Kila, how do you feel about this being J.U.C.

30:06.023 --> 30:09.706
[SPEAKER_01]: last year under WWE and adjacent to AEW?

30:10.107 --> 30:13.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think you will see him in AEW moving forward?

30:13.790 --> 30:17.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's news to me, that's pretty news to me.

30:17.936 --> 30:21.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I don't, maybe it's happening maybe it's not true.

30:21.461 --> 30:25.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Who knows, but, um, the theme like rumors, rumor.

30:25.587 --> 30:26.489
[SPEAKER_01]: They're interesting.

30:27.009 --> 30:28.431
[SPEAKER_01]: Would he belong in AEW?

30:28.772 --> 30:30.875
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not with that whole family.

30:30.995 --> 30:34.841
[SPEAKER_01]: And the way they got set up in WWE, I don't think he's moving either.

30:35.281 --> 30:41.270
[SPEAKER_01]: But I wanted to make sure that I got to these comments because comments make our world go round.

30:41.290 --> 30:43.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Cuba is it does?

30:43.422 --> 30:49.254
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so we got our next match, which is the AEW Continental title.

30:51.679 --> 31:00.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Do John Maltzley defeated Knowskit Keshe in 23 minutes and 32 seconds, which quite frankly,

31:01.850 --> 31:03.052
[SPEAKER_01]: was a fantastic match.

31:03.413 --> 31:05.457
[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty much exactly what I expected.

31:05.778 --> 31:12.692
[SPEAKER_01]: I figured it was going to go over 20 minutes given everything about the concept of it.

31:13.092 --> 31:17.361
[SPEAKER_01]: It being a time limit draw the last time that they faced off.

31:17.341 --> 31:30.058
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that these two mesh incredibly well together, uh, I think Connecticut is so close to a faith turn that you can taste it.

31:31.080 --> 31:45.880
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think this loss is probably going to be a catalyst for his team, uh, his faction, the doghouse family to no longer be interested in his services moving forward.

31:46.585 --> 32:03.075
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was a great match shot out a W for showing restraint because they could clearly win over 20 minutes and then some and they just kept to three minutes over the 20 minute time and then which I appreciated and both guys are great to test as you said their face turn is coming.

32:03.055 --> 32:06.880
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's going to be one of the bigger faces in the company and people are ready for it.

32:07.401 --> 32:09.043
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been ready for it for months now.

32:09.704 --> 32:13.049
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just a matter of how he's going to get out of the Don call us family.

32:13.069 --> 32:18.456
[SPEAKER_00]: I smell an excommunication led by Ocata, who's been just dreaming to do this from months now.

32:18.476 --> 32:19.598
[SPEAKER_00]: So I look forward to that.

32:19.678 --> 32:24.565
[SPEAKER_00]: Mox, you know, in these high profile matches, anywhere on the card is going to always deliver.

32:24.625 --> 32:26.307
[SPEAKER_00]: And he did so last night.

32:26.528 --> 32:31.054
[SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately for him,

32:32.131 --> 32:33.052
[SPEAKER_01]: this was amazing.

32:33.854 --> 32:48.756
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll all spray return to after the match in a video in which some of Lucent, Lucisaurus adjacent, where he's in a laboratory, he's massively being healed and then he comes out to the ring.

32:50.221 --> 32:59.990
[SPEAKER_01]: It comes out to the stage, actually, and if music is playing, and everyone's looking their mind, and I'm losing my mind for a different reason, because it's been six months since he's had net surgery.

33:00.911 --> 33:12.141
[SPEAKER_01]: He proceeds to take off his jacket, and the audience is shouting, yes, yes, yes, they're losing their mind, and I'm shouting, no, please, no, don't do what I think you're going to do.

33:12.962 --> 33:19.047
[SPEAKER_01]: And he proceeds to live his jacket, sprint to the ring,

33:19.921 --> 33:36.654
[SPEAKER_01]: Engaging this to cuff an acrobatic assault an aerial type, much like we'll offer you a known for with the death writers in which Kila, he has surgery six months ago on his neck and he's coming back.

33:38.197 --> 33:38.217
[UNKNOWN]: I

33:38.703 --> 33:44.329
[SPEAKER_01]: cannot tell you the level of concern I have that he is coming back this early.

33:44.709 --> 33:52.898
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's fantastic if it's all going according to plan and everything is great and everyone has confidence he can move forward.

33:53.519 --> 33:54.920
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not share that confidence.

33:55.301 --> 34:05.892
[SPEAKER_01]: I think no reason to feel that confident and I feel like I'm going to be clutching my bot hole for the next three month

34:07.255 --> 34:09.298
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I love Willaw Spray.

34:10.880 --> 34:13.003
[SPEAKER_00]: I am so glad he's back.

34:14.024 --> 34:15.145
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was a great moment.

34:16.207 --> 34:18.590
[SPEAKER_00]: But you had next surgery six months ago.

34:19.031 --> 34:19.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.

34:20.072 --> 34:26.901
[SPEAKER_00]: And you have the temerity to go out there and test your neck with a flip dive and land on your neck.

34:27.472 --> 34:33.443
[SPEAKER_00]: You're first bump, you land on your neck to test it to say, oh, I can take it.

34:33.704 --> 34:39.956
[SPEAKER_00]: Then to know exactly what he's doing, Jeremy, he cranked his neck with his hands and said, yeah, it's good.

34:40.216 --> 34:48.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I am scared, I am terrified of the things he's going to do to test his limits with this surgically repaired neck.

34:48.953 --> 34:51.337
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that Tony says slow down.

34:51.357 --> 34:52.559
[SPEAKER_00]: Take a beat.

34:52.940 --> 34:54.422
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't test yourself too much.

34:54.803 --> 34:59.631
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't tempt fate because I don't want him to re-injure his neck.

34:59.651 --> 35:04.399
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen people come back and have setbacks immediately from an egg injury.

35:04.720 --> 35:06.503
[SPEAKER_00]: I do not want that for a lost spray.

35:06.984 --> 35:08.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Slow down.

35:08.326 --> 35:10.749
[SPEAKER_00]: You need to kind of modify what you do.

35:10.769 --> 35:12.291
[SPEAKER_00]: You can still do incredible things.

35:12.672 --> 35:16.336
[SPEAKER_00]: But please don't test your neck night one and get he did.

35:16.757 --> 35:19.160
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I have to put him in bubble wrap and definitely and pray.

35:19.801 --> 35:22.324
[SPEAKER_01]: They're putting him in the own hurt cup after double or nothing.

35:22.704 --> 35:23.305
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

35:23.365 --> 35:25.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know the happening at this point.

35:26.789 --> 35:31.696
[SPEAKER_01]: The story is going to be he's going to have a match in April or me, right?

35:32.196 --> 35:37.523
[SPEAKER_01]: And the match is going to be about this guy trying to take his neck out in some way

35:39.157 --> 35:47.850
[SPEAKER_01]: This is torturous and they better be so confident in this because if they're not.

35:48.421 --> 35:50.123
[SPEAKER_01]: This could go very, very badly.

35:50.163 --> 35:51.444
[SPEAKER_01]: So there go a lot of risk here.

35:52.385 --> 35:53.626
[SPEAKER_01]: I get the reward.

35:53.967 --> 36:15.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I get just making sure that you can put will in the world title at Wembley against MJF, although it doesn't feel right now that will then the continental title picture with John Malkley, which doesn't really seem like the greatest idea, but you know what I mean, like I just,

36:16.467 --> 36:30.440
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of question marks around the return of Will Offspray in March of 2026 and they're not good questions, even though it's good news and people are happy to see him.

36:30.460 --> 36:32.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I am just an exhibit caution.

36:33.483 --> 36:44.753
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not one of those surgeries that anyone has ever really come back from this amount of time and really truly had a long

36:45.813 --> 36:59.673
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think about 10 years ago, I know 11 years ago I should say now when Brian Daniels came back from the neck injury and he lasted a grand total of a few months until guess what concussions.

37:00.214 --> 37:07.664
[SPEAKER_00]: So if it's not gonna be one thing it could very well be something else if you tipped fate too much as a test or neck cause he did the same thing which pissed me off.

37:07.945 --> 37:13.693
[SPEAKER_00]: He tested his neck to say, oh, I can take bumps and I can do this and I can do that and look what happened.

37:13.673 --> 37:15.940
[SPEAKER_00]: He had to retire a year later.

37:15.960 --> 37:18.107
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't want that for real loss spray.

37:18.127 --> 37:21.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't test your neck because then it affects your head.

37:23.343 --> 37:24.126
[SPEAKER_01]: I have nothing to add.

37:24.487 --> 37:25.590
[SPEAKER_01]: I have nothing to add at all.

37:26.752 --> 37:27.534
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, that's it.

37:27.554 --> 37:42.222
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the, uh, the AW women's tag team title match, which was the runback of, uh, well night in Galen, Harvey Cameron, uh, losing the titles to lead me to cross and Megan Bane in about five minutes.

37:43.004 --> 37:47.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the story was of this was that Harley Cameron really couldn't keep, uh,

37:47.373 --> 38:05.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on to the title for the damage will nine gale that they managed to abuse over and over until they won the titles, I didn't get to see a whole lot of the match because there were a few things going on, if you have anything sub-concept to add to it before we move on to the match, the floor of your QA.

38:05.767 --> 38:11.476
[SPEAKER_00]: It was absolute domination by someone that I'm going to call out.

38:12.057 --> 38:13.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello, Jeff Hawkins.

38:13.519 --> 38:14.961
[SPEAKER_00]: His dream was manifested.

38:15.021 --> 38:15.763
[SPEAKER_00]: He wanted this.

38:15.863 --> 38:16.404
[SPEAKER_00]: He got it.

38:17.004 --> 38:19.268
[SPEAKER_00]: I will call them the skyscrapers and his behalf.

38:19.709 --> 38:23.475
[SPEAKER_00]: They got the W dominant lead decisively very happy for Megan Bane.

38:23.555 --> 38:25.458
[SPEAKER_00]: Why aren't they the mega-cliff powers?

38:25.478 --> 38:25.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

38:25.978 --> 38:29.744
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a clever name, a better name than mega-bad.

38:31.026 --> 38:32.128
[SPEAKER_00]: But here we are.

38:33.475 --> 38:34.036
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.

38:34.056 --> 38:34.957
[SPEAKER_01]: The megasus power.

38:35.638 --> 38:35.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

38:36.039 --> 38:36.579
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.

38:36.980 --> 38:37.981
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so cool.

38:38.602 --> 38:40.765
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm happy for Megan is long overdue.

38:40.805 --> 38:42.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy for Lena Cross to you.

38:42.628 --> 38:44.851
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm happy with Jeff Hawkins because he wanted this on site.

38:44.871 --> 38:45.512
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, you know what?

38:46.033 --> 38:47.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Get them as a tag team.

38:47.936 --> 38:49.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Just book them as champion.

38:49.298 --> 38:49.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Call it a day.

38:49.858 --> 38:50.940
[SPEAKER_00]: We love what I'll be forward.

38:51.000 --> 38:54.425
[SPEAKER_00]: But the money is in this tag team duo being done.

38:54.545 --> 38:56.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Bring them versus the brawling bird.

38:56.388 --> 38:56.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.

38:57.009 --> 38:57.930
[SPEAKER_01]: All in.

38:58.045 --> 39:00.549
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and have the ball and birds win all in.

39:01.030 --> 39:01.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.

39:02.412 --> 39:03.193
[SPEAKER_01]: That sounds great.

39:03.233 --> 39:07.520
[SPEAKER_01]: The, uh, brawling burn, the analog, can AEW to the British bulldog.

39:08.121 --> 39:08.722
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it.

39:08.962 --> 39:12.688
[SPEAKER_01]: And I will broke no argument that if anything other than that.

39:14.952 --> 39:20.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we got Swerve Strickland defeating Brody King, 1419.

39:21.164 --> 39:28.462
[SPEAKER_01]: This was a very good match, but it also felt like a main event of a dynamite amidst all these other matches on the show.

39:29.083 --> 39:30.126
[SPEAKER_01]: It was violent.

39:30.166 --> 39:36.642
[SPEAKER_01]: It was exactly what you would imagine the match would be like between these two hard hitting.

39:36.807 --> 39:48.585
[SPEAKER_01]: Brutal, they removed the turn buckle in one corner and use that as a bit of tease and such in the show in the match.

39:49.206 --> 39:51.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Other than that, we're struggling to feed it him.

39:51.510 --> 39:55.356
[SPEAKER_01]: We all kind of thought that was going to be the case, but Brody King.

39:55.336 --> 39:58.220
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, like they wanted to give him a little bit of love.

39:58.721 --> 40:01.004
[SPEAKER_01]: He is a fantastic talent.

40:01.324 --> 40:07.592
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just not that high on the totem pole right now and getting that opportunity in LA.

40:07.853 --> 40:14.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, yet another moment of heartbreak for a local LA talent in this show,

40:14.236 --> 40:20.928
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they had to swallow that disappointment, but then be re-tempered when it's where it was going to make it work for productivity.

40:21.650 --> 40:23.393
[SPEAKER_01]: And then one Kenny Omega came out.

40:23.834 --> 40:26.318
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was almost just everything up to that point.

40:26.739 --> 40:28.583
[SPEAKER_01]: If you were sad, it didn't matter.

40:29.044 --> 40:31.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Kenny Omega was here and everything was going to be okay.

40:32.871 --> 40:33.812
[SPEAKER_00]: He made the flight.

40:34.574 --> 40:35.215
[SPEAKER_01]: You did?

40:35.515 --> 40:37.720
[SPEAKER_00]: He pulled a hook a maniac, he made the flight.

40:38.401 --> 40:38.982
[SPEAKER_00]: He did it.

40:39.543 --> 40:43.732
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy that he made it to continue the feet with Swerve, as you said.

40:43.752 --> 40:47.279
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have a saying, this could have been an email.

40:47.340 --> 40:48.843
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not an email.

40:49.023 --> 40:54.334
[SPEAKER_00]: It just could have been on Dynamite on a Wednesday night as a main event and Kenny could have came back the same way.

40:54.314 --> 41:03.222
[SPEAKER_00]: but he did so on this show, which I totally understand because you're forwarding the sore few to continue this battle in this quest to also become a W role champion.

41:03.282 --> 41:08.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice spotlight for Brody King, but he's slotted right now in the mid-car, not too much elevation there.

41:08.667 --> 41:14.812
[SPEAKER_00]: And as we've said before during this show, violence blood does it apply in certain matches.

41:15.093 --> 41:24.321
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, because it is a battle between two guys who are declaring themselves the most dangerous

41:24.301 --> 41:24.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

41:26.461 --> 41:29.004
[SPEAKER_01]: Brennan of that mention, he called Kenny coming back.

41:29.664 --> 41:33.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Tip of the cap Fernando, you did a great job reading the room there.

41:33.508 --> 41:48.104
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder how many times Kenny dreamt the word capcom in his dream on his flight back after his calls playing his Alex in Street Fighter 6, shout out to the capcom tournament.

41:48.584 --> 41:56.232
[SPEAKER_01]: He probably intentionally bounced himself out just so he could show his love for the AEW fandom

41:56.212 --> 41:57.334
[SPEAKER_01]: everybody happy.

41:58.036 --> 41:59.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody happy.

41:59.959 --> 42:15.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, you know, we're a little bluffing about the quality of these matches, but one of the things I want to underline is that in a 13 match show, I think at least 10 of the matches were four, four and a quarter or higher.

42:17.592 --> 42:21.337
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why it does a very high quality show.

42:21.858 --> 42:26.465
[SPEAKER_01]: It can argument that this is now the new like, scope of the year to beat.

42:27.026 --> 42:32.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there are things about the Tokyo dome that made it magical and unbelievable.

42:33.615 --> 42:47.515
[SPEAKER_01]: But there was so much in here and so much good wrestling that if somebody wanted to say they thought that revolution 2020 sent us to show the air, I would argue with them.

42:47.680 --> 42:48.743
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think like that.

42:48.924 --> 42:50.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Nine must ago already.

42:50.187 --> 42:54.380
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, they've really submitted themselves as show of the year.

42:54.821 --> 43:00.839
[SPEAKER_00]: And we know at least all lens going to be in that running to whenever it takes place with the card was is unveiled.

43:01.381 --> 43:01.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

43:03.020 --> 43:11.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we had Kekla defeating Chris Dattlander in a best two out of three falls match.

43:11.509 --> 43:21.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Kekla stole the first pin with, uh, I think she had the she had grabbed the tight, but she did something in which the referee didn't catch it.

43:22.200 --> 43:24.682
[SPEAKER_01]: Dattlander was super upset about it.

43:25.303 --> 43:27.205
[SPEAKER_01]: The second.

43:27.185 --> 43:38.042
[SPEAKER_01]: pinfall with Chris Statlander turning tech was submission into her statter day night fever and then the final.

43:38.683 --> 43:40.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you remember the finish of the final one?

43:41.567 --> 43:42.870
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I do not.

43:43.611 --> 43:48.038
[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe that there was a bit of feeding in it.

43:48.598 --> 43:54.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Was the the stress

43:57.712 --> 43:59.915
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Tecla knocked out the referee.

44:00.675 --> 44:08.164
[SPEAKER_01]: He grabbed the belt for Paul Turner and proceeded to beat Chris Statwander with it.

44:08.845 --> 44:12.469
[SPEAKER_01]: Chris Statwander and the sisters of sin got into it.

44:12.869 --> 44:20.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Statwander got the belt and was about to proceed to beat Tecla with it when Paul Turner

44:20.932 --> 44:31.345
[SPEAKER_01]: Suddenly returned to consciousness, chastize that lander for doing so, Tecla took advantage and got the pin.

44:32.947 --> 44:36.172
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I'm glad Tecla got the W. It was a nice physical matchup.

44:36.832 --> 44:38.815
[SPEAKER_00]: Good spot on the car, considering everything.

44:38.875 --> 44:40.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Good heat for the most part as well.

44:40.777 --> 44:47.807
[SPEAKER_00]: Statlander, you know, she put up a good fight, but it was not enough against Tecla, and I'm glad that they're not going to hop to the championship with her right now.

44:48.267 --> 44:50.550
[SPEAKER_00]: She has the hot hand.

44:50.530 --> 44:55.620
[SPEAKER_00]: the charisma, the talent to stand out in a good way as a W women's champion.

44:55.660 --> 45:13.534
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know who's going to be the next opponent because a lot of things are a very complicated in the women's

45:13.852 --> 45:16.878
[SPEAKER_00]: you can't get another match out of this.

45:16.938 --> 45:19.442
[SPEAKER_00]: You're kind of done for now.

45:20.524 --> 45:22.528
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's two ways that you can go with this.

45:22.848 --> 45:24.992
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, first off, I think it's that lander.

45:25.073 --> 45:27.337
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to see better days ahead.

45:27.357 --> 45:35.151
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, this was not for best title run, but I think she's got opportunities in the future and she will get better.

45:35.350 --> 45:40.995
[SPEAKER_01]: And there will be women in the company that will help her get better and a per game.

45:41.195 --> 45:42.377
[SPEAKER_01]: I truly believe that.

45:42.497 --> 45:46.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Soon, when it comes to tech weather, two rounds that I think here.

45:46.340 --> 45:52.686
[SPEAKER_01]: One is the inevitable tech one Tony store.

45:52.706 --> 46:00.233
[SPEAKER_01]: Tech one Tony store for the title, I feel like if happening and it's probably who tech will drop the title two.

46:01.134 --> 46:04.497
[SPEAKER_01]: With that being said,

46:04.679 --> 46:17.920
[SPEAKER_01]: at double or nothing and then Rhonda meets to face off with her there or if that's the case that Rhonda do something like being the like the Owen Hart Cup for the women.

46:17.940 --> 46:18.581
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

46:18.621 --> 46:26.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Like does she do these quick matches and then make her way to facing Tony Storm?

46:27.578 --> 46:35.074
[SPEAKER_01]: at in Webley, is that would you do that or do you think that you do it at a different time?

46:36.067 --> 46:39.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I say, Wimbley, I think that'd be the perfect setting to do it.

46:39.172 --> 46:44.020
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to switch it out that long for me, I think that'd be the perfect thing to do that match.

46:44.621 --> 46:56.761
[SPEAKER_01]: And a few months time, do you think that it's the right delivery system to have Rhonda do a series of squashes in the queen of the ring, the Owen Hart cut, whatever you know what I mean?

46:57.242 --> 47:01.669
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you set that up for like the showdown or Tony Storm.

47:02.425 --> 47:04.067
[SPEAKER_01]: At when we, or do you know what I mean?

47:04.087 --> 47:14.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I almost think that doing a tournament is a perfect opportunity for Ron to do some squashes inside of a self-contained storyline.

47:14.978 --> 47:28.391
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we're not like, do you think we're going to match it on a rock through like there was an inflated inside this tournament, which is a definite vehicle for wrestling storytelling to do a win in a loss that doesn't play into the grand scheme of things.

47:28.992 --> 47:32.095
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost kind of want to see it.

47:32.294 --> 47:44.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Like remind people who run in and is by having her run through like three three women on the roster left a five minute like in a series of matches to get her tall and I think that's what you have to do.

47:45.541 --> 47:47.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't treat her like anybody else.

47:47.324 --> 47:48.866
[SPEAKER_00]: She's wandering around, Z.

47:48.886 --> 47:55.356
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can book squash matches in her bracket and have her be dominant and then get to all in and then she can be a bit more competitive.

47:55.917 --> 48:01.185
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you want to build someone up and paint them as someone that is unbeatable, that's how you do it.

48:01.226 --> 48:04.971
[SPEAKER_00]: You basically have her won the table, but it'd be dominant to size it with them.

48:04.991 --> 48:06.153
[SPEAKER_00]: You can run it all in.

48:06.173 --> 48:08.697
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to do a title change there, you can.

48:08.717 --> 48:13.725
[SPEAKER_00]: And that builds up the division even more in the quest to main event.

48:13.705 --> 48:20.074
[SPEAKER_00]: and the WPP review, because I bet you this, we got Juan de Rousy, you will be main eventing a paper viewing 2026.

48:20.295 --> 48:21.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Or 2027.

48:22.578 --> 48:32.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you what, if a AEW has run around here on that rock, they're not going to worry about paramount, not bringing an AEW, no.

48:34.115 --> 48:37.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Well listen, it's funny how things happen, isn't it?

48:37.961 --> 48:41.586
[SPEAKER_00]: It always comes back around.

48:42.612 --> 48:55.511
[SPEAKER_01]: The one thing that you have to say about Tony Con, if that dude knows how to make deals, he knows how to get people, he knows how to find the vulnerabilities people like, you may not like me, but you don't like this guy a lot more.

48:56.131 --> 49:07.708
[SPEAKER_01]: And so he's able to work with that and his caniness of working within the NFL, I think has done him a world of good in able to operate in the pro wrestling world.

49:07.688 --> 49:18.036
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have no doubt that he's had some hard lessons to learn over the course of the last few years, but, you know, business man Tony is pretty impressive sometimes.

49:20.935 --> 49:27.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Next one up, we got the AEW World Trade Title Match, Jet Speed with Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey and Mr. Co.

49:28.363 --> 49:33.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Defeat the Dawn Callos family of Casuchico, Callo Fletcher, Mark Davis.

49:33.048 --> 49:33.769
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna lie.

49:34.129 --> 49:36.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I did not think that this was gonna be a title change.

49:36.512 --> 49:46.943
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this was just gonna be a match where we're just gonna have a lot of cool shit happen and nothing was gonna be any different by the time the match was over.

49:46.923 --> 50:10.062
[SPEAKER_01]: This match with fantastic Mark Davis and VP of the match, he did so much work and they did so much to make sure that he got over and he got he got fed in the match because no one else really needed it as much as him and the amount of chances and opportunity.

50:10.042 --> 50:11.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything going on at this match.

50:11.504 --> 50:12.766
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot recommend it enough.

50:13.087 --> 50:29.853
[SPEAKER_01]: One of my favorite matches on the show and when the match was over and Mike Bailey Kevin Nate and Mystico after they had all worn matching Mystico matches and the Dawn cows family were their varsity jackets matching to the ring.

50:30.835 --> 50:32.117
[SPEAKER_01]: We got.

50:32.097 --> 50:47.642
[SPEAKER_01]: a video on the screen that announced that Mystico was now holy with the traditional Mystico music playing that got everyone nuts in the read a Metico and that one show and a daily center or whatever.

50:47.622 --> 50:48.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Magical stuff.

50:49.024 --> 50:49.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Magical stuff.

50:49.966 --> 50:50.847
[SPEAKER_01]: He is there.

50:50.867 --> 50:55.455
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it is going to be great for him.

50:55.475 --> 51:05.692
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Mascar Dorada has very quietly been assuming that role that Mr. Go has had and he is not really going to need to be at a rate of Mascar as much.

51:06.193 --> 51:08.437
[SPEAKER_01]: So him being in AEW is great.

51:09.178 --> 51:11.402
[SPEAKER_01]: It, uh, and they

51:11.703 --> 51:17.849
[SPEAKER_01]: piece in the warm between AAA and CMLL and W-W-E can't get them.

51:18.029 --> 51:21.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though, you know, he went there and they didn't know how to use them.

51:22.213 --> 51:27.038
[SPEAKER_01]: If the user or enough money people sometimes they go and now he can't go, they've got to manipulate you.

51:27.959 --> 51:28.900
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the play.

51:28.920 --> 51:31.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a great play.

51:31.963 --> 51:36.748
[SPEAKER_01]: And the only thing I will add for, no, I'll tell the story after you say your piece.

51:37.657 --> 51:44.807
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by this match in terms of the outcome, because I had the heels winning.

51:44.867 --> 51:51.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not see jet speed and mystical winning these trio titles tonight, but they did.

51:51.355 --> 51:59.366
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was happy for mystical reigning wrestler of the year has now signed with a WWE, I got to presume it's a dual contract with CMLL as well.

51:59.827 --> 52:02.871
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm very, very, very, happy for him.

52:02.851 --> 52:04.553
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fans understood the assignment.

52:04.633 --> 52:05.814
[SPEAKER_00]: They got into the song.

52:05.854 --> 52:07.335
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a great moment.

52:07.576 --> 52:11.219
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just puts a lot of faith in JetSpeed to you that you lose the championship.

52:11.259 --> 52:15.123
[SPEAKER_00]: So we could go get them back a week later with a different acting partner.

52:15.263 --> 52:20.909
[SPEAKER_00]: It's remarkable about where they've gone and where they're going to go as a tag team individually as well.

52:21.269 --> 52:24.873
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're a stock in JetSpeed and now they're new tag team partner, Mystico.

52:25.193 --> 52:27.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Congratulations to everyone in this match.

52:27.696 --> 52:31.980
[SPEAKER_00]: It was really really good.

52:31.960 --> 52:35.674
[SPEAKER_00]: Broken hand, K-Fabonol, just fantastic.

52:36.035 --> 52:40.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Kevin Knight, Mike Bailey, and Mr. Go, aren't unbelievable, high-flying team.

52:41.214 --> 52:43.523
[SPEAKER_01]: Just unbelievable.

52:44.228 --> 52:46.051
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very happy for all three involved.

52:46.111 --> 52:48.255
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very happy the Kevin night did not turn heal.

52:48.736 --> 52:51.661
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it was something that I was thinking was possible.

52:52.303 --> 52:55.769
[SPEAKER_01]: And no, so I'm at Dave's house.

52:55.829 --> 52:58.494
[SPEAKER_01]: Dave helps your house and we're all watching the show.

52:58.554 --> 53:05.747
[SPEAKER_01]: And last night, Dave said, hey, I got an extra ticket to this, uh, lucha revolution show that, uh,

53:05.727 --> 53:13.981
[SPEAKER_01]: that's happening in our town and I was like, I thought I might go, but because I had to work all day today and I had to show and I was doing the podcast tonight.

53:14.001 --> 53:20.952
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I cannot go out late last night and not be dead to the world today.

53:20.932 --> 53:25.517
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought about asking, oh, hey, I was the, I was the show, whatever.

53:26.538 --> 53:29.320
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, uh, he could go, yeah, that was great.

53:29.340 --> 53:29.861
[SPEAKER_01]: Go, Bob.

53:30.341 --> 53:33.685
[SPEAKER_01]: Later on if this match was going, he's like, oh, hey, check out what I go last night.

53:34.005 --> 53:38.530
[SPEAKER_01]: And he hands me this mask.

53:38.550 --> 53:40.311
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm looking at him like, I'm looking at it.

53:40.572 --> 53:41.392
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just like, oh, cool.

53:41.412 --> 53:43.915
[SPEAKER_01]: And about like five beat happened.

53:44.435 --> 53:48.019
[SPEAKER_01]: And I realized this is Mystico's mask.

53:49.788 --> 53:53.894
[SPEAKER_01]: that Dave got from Mystico last night.

53:55.195 --> 54:03.367
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm holding it in my hand and realizing how what's happening here.

54:03.807 --> 54:07.452
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's saying, oh, you know, Mystico gave it to me at the show outside.

54:08.073 --> 54:12.319
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I don't,

54:13.717 --> 54:20.593
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think about these things much in the way that Dave gets cool stuff, but all I could think of was, but I want it.

54:21.796 --> 54:26.106
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean, like, but I want, but I want this mask day.

54:26.373 --> 54:41.331
[SPEAKER_01]: And I attempted my speaking of strong style co-host, Stephen Conway, and I show him, and he asked me the question that I didn't think to ask Dave, and he's like, did he take it off of his head or what?

54:42.253 --> 54:51.604
[SPEAKER_01]: And I asked him, and he's like, no, he had spirits in his bag from all the five shows that he had the

54:52.715 --> 54:54.937
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's my mystical story, Kila.

54:55.558 --> 54:57.199
[SPEAKER_01]: I touched mystical math today.

54:57.619 --> 55:00.082
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was an amazing, as you would imagine.

55:00.963 --> 55:01.643
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet it was.

55:01.743 --> 55:03.645
[SPEAKER_00]: You just a holy girl of masks, sir.

55:04.205 --> 55:07.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And you had to touch the outside of the lining, like you touched the outside.

55:08.249 --> 55:14.435
[SPEAKER_01]: But you always want to feel like the inside feels like, because when you're like the fake math, they'll look like that leathery inside.

55:14.755 --> 55:16.917
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you actually wear an wrestling match?

55:16.977 --> 55:19.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it was just like, chief, nothing like that.

55:19.740 --> 55:21.321
[SPEAKER_01]: A very soft on the inside.

55:23.393 --> 55:32.236
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy for you that you got to experience that I know listen better than a sin car a mask.

55:32.256 --> 55:35.985
[SPEAKER_00]: That much I can't absolutely say better.

55:37.433 --> 55:55.511
[SPEAKER_01]: better considering where he came from and has come back better by a lot better by a lot is the description of and draw Dave career in 26 over 2025 as he defeated Bandito in 20 minutes to 55 seconds.

55:55.531 --> 55:57.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you like that pivot QA?

55:57.852 --> 55:59.054
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a great pivot.

55:59.074 --> 56:00.095
[SPEAKER_00]: That was super smooth.

56:00.115 --> 56:01.357
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

56:01.617 --> 56:02.858
[SPEAKER_00]: You understood the assignment.

56:02.898 --> 56:05.862
[SPEAKER_00]: You are very clever with your transitions in your pivot.

56:06.063 --> 56:06.443
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

56:06.523 --> 56:13.913
[SPEAKER_01]: I really appreciate that your faith in me as a podcaster is what keeps me going really.

56:14.253 --> 56:25.868
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

56:26.506 --> 56:38.646
[SPEAKER_01]: that have been 4.75, actually four matches in the last five weeks that have been 4.75 in the rest of the universe star rating, including this one.

56:39.788 --> 56:41.931
[SPEAKER_01]: Kenny Omega, right?

56:42.933 --> 56:45.477
[SPEAKER_01]: We have Yoda Succi.

56:46.503 --> 56:48.725
[SPEAKER_01]: from the New Beginning Show in New Japan.

56:49.346 --> 56:52.088
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the Maths Girl Dorada match from one day.

56:52.649 --> 56:58.153
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have this match for his bandito, which was unbelievable.

56:58.754 --> 57:00.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Just a fantastic match.

57:01.817 --> 57:05.640
[SPEAKER_01]: Bandito came out in a super dragon tribute.

57:06.181 --> 57:16.510
[SPEAKER_01]: There was an amazing wardrobe gap in the middle where Bandito really tried to match the energy of and draw a taking off his pants

57:16.490 --> 57:35.795
[SPEAKER_01]: But could not, and Andrade to save everybody's emberetment and credge just kicked Bandido in the stomach to end the moment, and then Andrade himself showed everyone how he was done in taking off his pants, revealing his trunk in Kila.

57:36.876 --> 57:38.138
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a comfortable man.

57:38.278 --> 57:42.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this.

57:43.085 --> 57:45.609
[SPEAKER_01]: make me feel bad about myself.

57:45.629 --> 57:48.053
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm just going to add that in that one right there.

57:48.774 --> 57:51.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Bandito also completely at Clinton this match.

57:52.179 --> 58:07.843
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the most amazing things that I think I saw on this match was later in the match as they were going back and forth and it was very, you know, given take match and driving it on the ground and Bandito's looking to do the 21 plugs.

58:07.823 --> 58:20.079
[SPEAKER_01]: And typically, when you're doing the 21 plots on an opponent, the opponent back is to Bandito if he runs the ropes and grabs the guy for a superccasysuini hits the ropes.

58:20.680 --> 58:24.025
[SPEAKER_01]: While Drottie wasn't on the ropes, he was on the ground.

58:24.525 --> 58:35.400
[SPEAKER_01]: So Bandito goes and does his sprint to the ring ropes, and then dead with and Drottie off the ground for the 21 plots.

58:35.380 --> 58:42.648
[SPEAKER_01]: for the pin, did not get it, but oh my god, Kila, that was one of the most amazing things I saw all night.

58:42.929 --> 58:51.719
[SPEAKER_01]: And no blood, none of the extra stuff it was just an amazing feat of athletic performance that just stuck with me all night.

58:52.500 --> 58:55.023
[SPEAKER_01]: And Droughta ended up defeating him.

58:55.083 --> 58:57.365
[SPEAKER_01]: These guys are going to run it back.

58:57.766 --> 59:03.092
[SPEAKER_01]: And Droughta is on the run of his life after he's left WWE,

59:03.072 --> 59:06.675
[SPEAKER_01]: wasn't able to wrestle there and and wrestle anywhere, frankly.

59:07.256 --> 59:08.677
[SPEAKER_01]: This was his last chance.

59:09.298 --> 59:16.364
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like this run right here, if he couldn't deliver, he'd be Alberto Del Rio wrestling in these in Mexico.

59:17.325 --> 59:18.446
[SPEAKER_01]: But this guy has got it.

59:18.826 --> 59:30.497
[SPEAKER_01]: He's on the run of this life, and I don't think he's ever had a run of matches as good as this as strong as this, as amazing as this all across the

59:31.338 --> 59:36.668
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot talk what you've said on Draw Day is on a roll right now.

59:36.708 --> 59:41.438
[SPEAKER_00]: Once he signed with the WWE, he's been on a hot streak, not a bad match to be found.

59:41.498 --> 59:45.706
[SPEAKER_00]: He just continues to elevate his game at this stage in his career.

59:46.086 --> 59:47.088
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not comfortable.

59:47.108 --> 59:51.557
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in the act of I would do whatever I have to do to still the show.

59:51.537 --> 59:57.728
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have top three best match on the card without question and last night was no exception.

59:57.788 --> 01:00:00.032
[SPEAKER_00]: And Bandito, we already know how great he is.

01:00:00.072 --> 01:00:02.116
[SPEAKER_00]: And he had a great showing last night.

01:00:02.136 --> 01:00:04.279
[SPEAKER_00]: It came up short, but this sunrise is time now.

01:00:04.780 --> 01:00:13.275
[SPEAKER_00]: And when I surprised me at all, if I'm draw any challenges for the AW World Championship this year, and possibly gets it.

01:00:13.255 --> 01:00:24.556
[SPEAKER_00]: at some point, potentially, as a cornerstone figure of the Don Calus family, because somebody said, oh, the family together went to Tetsuka and and Calfletcher defect at some point this year.

01:00:25.758 --> 01:00:32.732
[SPEAKER_01]: And draw it absolutely one of those factors that has made the main event team in the AEW roster better than ever.

01:00:33.293 --> 01:00:36.158
[SPEAKER_01]: The contribution he's made,

01:00:37.977 --> 01:00:40.300
[SPEAKER_01]: I get, like Tony let him go.

01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:42.942
[SPEAKER_01]: The dude has so much charisma.

01:00:43.383 --> 01:00:48.308
[SPEAKER_01]: I went to the dynamite show and the collision taping on Wednesday.

01:00:48.348 --> 01:00:55.136
[SPEAKER_01]: And I ended up up close near him for a brief moment during the show during one of the matches.

01:00:55.897 --> 01:00:59.200
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god, the charisma that this man had just dripping off of him.

01:00:59.801 --> 01:01:00.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlotte, I get it.

01:01:00.922 --> 01:01:04.626
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand now, like I get why it happened.

01:01:04.606 --> 01:01:09.232
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand why it didn't happen at the very end, but if dude, dude, it's correct.

01:01:09.552 --> 01:01:15.499
[SPEAKER_01]: Just the risk, the everything about it's like, okay, yep, I get it.

01:01:16.100 --> 01:01:16.661
[SPEAKER_01]: I get it.

01:01:18.443 --> 01:01:25.591
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't shame in that anybody who followed for the charm and the risk of one and Droughty, it is unbelievable.

01:01:25.992 --> 01:01:29.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Just right in a presence, like, okay, yeah, I get it.

01:01:30.257 --> 01:01:31.879
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no questions anymore, got it.

01:01:35.234 --> 01:01:35.915
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think more.

01:01:36.957 --> 01:01:37.618
[SPEAKER_01]: You got it.

01:01:38.180 --> 01:01:38.440
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

01:01:39.081 --> 01:01:43.409
[SPEAKER_01]: The, uh, the next one we had with the Hickman tag team tornado match.

01:01:44.011 --> 01:01:49.381
[SPEAKER_01]: Darby Allen or Cassidy and Roddick Strong versus the dogs of Cartconner's David Finley and Gabe Kid.

01:01:50.182 --> 01:01:55.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, fun little entrance for, uh, the, cooperation Darby Allen.

01:01:55.973 --> 01:02:06.894
[SPEAKER_01]: But the dog's entrance seemed vaguely out of their mind, including Gabe Kid with the ugliest grill that you've ever seen coming out to this match.

01:02:06.914 --> 01:02:10.701
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, this match was everything that I thought it was going to be.

01:02:10.741 --> 01:02:13.346
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a 12 minute roll.

01:02:13.827 --> 01:02:16.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Not really the blood baths that I thought, but

01:02:16.983 --> 01:02:27.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Bart Conner and Dave Finley and Gabe Kid came out there with something to prove in a bit of a violent almost like these are the shield level hate and the spike kind of guys.

01:02:28.522 --> 01:02:31.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Roger Strong looked really good in this match.

01:02:31.948 --> 01:02:34.452
[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like he was really motivated because.

01:02:34.432 --> 01:02:40.143
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the first matches I think I remember were he's one so facing Chris Jericho like three or four years ago.

01:02:40.203 --> 01:02:50.283
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm glad that he was back and, you know, given an opportunity here, I think better days are head for the dog in court corner of David Finley and Gabe kid.

01:02:50.303 --> 01:02:55.613
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the key sponk in the match that I think it's going to have real estate in my head.

01:02:56.285 --> 01:02:57.507
[SPEAKER_01]: is in the middle of the match.

01:02:58.208 --> 01:03:03.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Darby is jumping from inside the ring to the outside apron.

01:03:03.777 --> 01:03:12.752
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's getting ready to do a move when all the sudden court corners runs and spears him through the middle rope and they both go tumbling down.

01:03:12.813 --> 01:03:15.557
[SPEAKER_01]: And for a second there I thought they were dead.

01:03:16.058 --> 01:03:19.103
[SPEAKER_01]: The violence in which this man hit Darby out.

01:03:19.083 --> 01:03:26.150
[SPEAKER_01]: We all know Darby Allen is a rag doll and he very much was a rag doll in this moment.

01:03:27.191 --> 01:03:46.812
[SPEAKER_01]: But man, I think of all the moments in this match and that includes skateboards to the neck, the zip ties of Gabe Kid to the ring, you know, whatever Roddy's finishing move is on court

01:03:47.332 --> 01:03:55.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Quart Connor spirit is going to be the thing that, uh, stick with me here and of all the dogs.

01:03:56.510 --> 01:03:59.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Quart Connor has the highest ceiling of the three.

01:04:00.537 --> 01:04:01.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.

01:04:01.780 --> 01:04:02.140
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.

01:04:02.220 --> 01:04:03.463
[SPEAKER_00]: I see it for him as well.

01:04:03.523 --> 01:04:07.230
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting placement of this match on the card for sure.

01:04:07.480 --> 01:04:12.787
[SPEAKER_00]: could have been another dynamite main event match in a Wednesday, but it was perfectly fine.

01:04:13.207 --> 01:04:16.612
[SPEAKER_00]: And this spot, Roddy was committed to his team.

01:04:16.632 --> 01:04:19.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Do now work out the way they want it to.

01:04:19.636 --> 01:04:20.877
[SPEAKER_00]: But for me, the right team won.

01:04:20.897 --> 01:04:27.165
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess it got to build the dogs for another big time faction in a W that can give them a run for their money.

01:04:27.305 --> 01:04:29.889
[SPEAKER_00]: And cert, J White, whenever he returns.

01:04:31.371 --> 01:04:36.357
[SPEAKER_01]: I think J White is going to be a natural opponent for these guys

01:04:37.585 --> 01:05:01.332
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoyed the dogs annihilation stand by match that they did on collision not last week but the week before and I want to see more stuff from that from those guys, they really They really remind me of the shield and I don't know if that's deliberate or if they should lean into that more, but I think that AEW.

01:05:02.392 --> 01:05:11.987
[SPEAKER_01]: They've kind of neutered the death writer from that kind of badass killer faction and to more if you're like a shooter faction.

01:05:12.848 --> 01:05:25.026
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think the dogs have an opportunity to really be that hyper-violin group that just exists out of what I call the hate-spite factor, where they don't like anybody.

01:05:25.146 --> 01:05:26.048
[SPEAKER_01]: They just hate everybody.

01:05:26.549 --> 01:05:28.872
[SPEAKER_01]: They want to spy to everybody and then if what it calls you pain.

01:05:29.746 --> 01:05:37.515
[SPEAKER_01]: And if three people aren't enough, Kila, I've got a suggestion for a force, and I don't know if this is a good idea or not, I'm going to throw past your way.

01:05:38.837 --> 01:05:43.683
[SPEAKER_01]: If the dog were to add a fourth person, what do you think about Brody King?

01:05:46.607 --> 01:05:52.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, We are where we are, aren't we at this point, this juncture in time.

01:05:53.895 --> 01:05:55.197
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where we are.

01:05:59.142 --> 01:06:07.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I think brodicking might be a good addition to him because he's got the Bandino factor.

01:06:07.232 --> 01:06:18.467
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's a fan favorite, but it does feel like if they had like a super heavy in their group, they would be one of the most unstoppable factions of all of them.

01:06:20.101 --> 01:06:25.091
[SPEAKER_01]: We shall see just my kind of, hmm, maybe if they got creative, they can do something like that.

01:06:25.311 --> 01:06:28.116
[SPEAKER_01]: But as it is, I really like the dogs.

01:06:28.597 --> 01:06:36.793
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the straight porting from the NutriPant faction is gonna work out great.

01:06:36.993 --> 01:06:57.499
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... i'm glad david family choke and you go we got one more match feeling that we're all we're home free we've got the eight w world title ten six death match and if defeated at a page i believe it will go over forty five minutes uh... this match

01:06:58.762 --> 01:07:01.967
[SPEAKER_01]: It was indulgent, it was violent.

01:07:02.608 --> 01:07:11.823
[SPEAKER_01]: They needed to apparently get everything in the entire lineage of their entire interactions with each other.

01:07:11.843 --> 01:07:23.241
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was very, very good, but they could have shaved 10 minutes and they could have used more of an assertive agent in the match.

01:07:24.022 --> 01:07:26.085
[SPEAKER_01]: It was very, very good.

01:07:26.740 --> 01:07:29.713
[SPEAKER_01]: but it was a little short of great for me.

01:07:31.685 --> 01:07:32.986
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a lot going on.

01:07:33.907 --> 01:07:43.515
[SPEAKER_00]: They paid homages to previous matches, which I understand, but I think you want to make your death match stand out independently of other matches.

01:07:43.555 --> 01:07:45.197
[SPEAKER_00]: Too many callbacks for me.

01:07:45.637 --> 01:07:49.220
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Narlie, it was violent, they did some crazy shit, which I appreciate.

01:07:49.600 --> 01:08:00.730
[SPEAKER_00]: But as you said, less is more, less kind of cut things back by at least 15 minutes, and it would have gave the match space to breathe and add a bit more originality to it.

01:08:00.710 --> 01:08:04.894
[SPEAKER_00]: That was like, okay, you're taking me out of it this is so gnarly.

01:08:05.194 --> 01:08:09.718
[SPEAKER_00]: And then like the stuff coming out of the syringe, it just sprayed a gregously.

01:08:09.738 --> 01:08:13.141
[SPEAKER_00]: It just like dude, what is going on here?

01:08:13.602 --> 01:08:21.369
[SPEAKER_00]: But as always, I appreciate the effort from both men, but if you're going to do a Texas death match, make it your own.

01:08:21.889 --> 01:08:30.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Make it stand out for you guys and you guys alone.

01:08:30.393 --> 01:08:36.824
[SPEAKER_01]: a brawling a fight to bringing out a glass that they were both dragged through.

01:08:36.864 --> 01:08:41.291
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was the beginning of the major blood in the match.

01:08:41.812 --> 01:08:52.570
[SPEAKER_01]: The net stage event was really going up to the stage and fighting and teasing, falling off the side of the stage and going to the electronics on the pyro,

01:08:54.136 --> 01:08:57.601
[SPEAKER_01]: very creative, almost should have been the finish of the match.

01:08:58.563 --> 01:08:59.985
[SPEAKER_01]: They both survived that one.

01:09:00.566 --> 01:09:13.005
[SPEAKER_01]: At some point, hangman page brings out the dog color, which elicits the not again fear PTSD that MJF had from a dog color cage match with hangman page, which

01:09:12.985 --> 01:09:18.639
[SPEAKER_01]: or with CM Punk that Hangman Page also had history with CM Punk.

01:09:19.040 --> 01:09:29.205
[SPEAKER_01]: So there was a kind of a little bit of callback to there and Hangman almost got the victory with a beat down and the

01:09:30.603 --> 01:09:46.738
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... the where it uh... the book chart where it uh... maps got up with at nine he managed to counter uh... after getting yes cures in his head he flipped on the diamond diamond ring managed to

01:09:46.718 --> 01:10:02.596
[SPEAKER_01]: get a shot in on Hangman page, knock page over and then profited to choke him out over the ring ropes, much like he defeated Hangman defeated John Monkley, twice in Texas death with that same finish.

01:10:03.257 --> 01:10:15.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Kila, it appears that Hangman page will no longer be able to challenge for the AEW world title in AEW,

01:10:16.199 --> 01:10:18.979
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think that that stipulation lasts?

01:10:19.502 --> 01:10:22.463
[SPEAKER_01]: And if it's going to last, did they make a mistake?

01:10:23.590 --> 01:10:26.575
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a bossy move by a W to add a stipulation.

01:10:26.595 --> 01:10:29.100
[SPEAKER_00]: We call it the Cody step and hangman lost.

01:10:29.821 --> 01:10:30.823
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they adhere to it?

01:10:31.404 --> 01:10:33.869
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know because they learn the lesson from Cody.

01:10:33.969 --> 01:10:37.515
[SPEAKER_00]: I would hope from four years ago of how this could be a detriment.

01:10:37.976 --> 01:10:40.741
[SPEAKER_00]: It hinders your booking in terms of what you want to do with the character.

01:10:40.781 --> 01:10:43.606
[SPEAKER_00]: Hangman is a two-time champion.

01:10:43.626 --> 01:10:47.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that all he'll ever be in a W?

01:10:47.333 --> 01:10:48.054
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

01:10:48.275 --> 01:10:49.116
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there a work around?

01:10:49.176 --> 01:10:50.679
[SPEAKER_00]: I know people want to talk about the Owen.

01:10:50.739 --> 01:10:55.026
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Conne cannot offer Lupo's to hangman page.

01:10:55.367 --> 01:10:56.268
[SPEAKER_00]: That is my issue.

01:10:56.609 --> 01:10:57.430
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to be.

01:10:58.572 --> 01:11:01.097
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, he has to lift it.

01:11:01.538 --> 01:11:05.444
[SPEAKER_00]: He has to be the one to overturn this decision because there cannot be Lupo's.

01:11:06.085 --> 01:11:09.291
[SPEAKER_00]: There cannot be

01:11:09.271 --> 01:11:14.637
[SPEAKER_00]: The ON, there is no loophole for him to get through to get back in championship contention.

01:11:14.937 --> 01:11:24.948
[SPEAKER_00]: This has to be a hard out, you cannot challenge for this championship ever short of mgf saying, you know what, I feel a bit giving today.

01:11:25.389 --> 01:11:26.590
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's overturn this.

01:11:27.111 --> 01:11:39.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, it's a ballsy decision to make for sure to have this man never challenge for this championship, but you got it here to step.

01:11:42.177 --> 01:11:48.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a feeling to come to one day that Adam Page was losing this match.

01:11:49.375 --> 01:11:52.002
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a conversation that

01:11:52.893 --> 01:12:13.924
[SPEAKER_01]: A local radio DJ named Baby Huey had with Swarththrickland, where Swarththrink discussed what it would be like for Adam Page, and what would Adam Page be if he could not challenge for the title, if he could not be championed, what kind of Russell would Adam Page be and where would that journey take him?

01:12:13.944 --> 01:12:16.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it could bold decision to do this.

01:12:16.968 --> 01:12:20.233
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't love it, but I also see,

01:12:20.618 --> 01:12:30.747
[SPEAKER_01]: The pathway and the opportunity and the amount of different people who could hold that AEW world title unless they're really a scenario where

01:12:31.537 --> 01:12:33.479
[SPEAKER_01]: 20 different people get injured.

01:12:34.199 --> 01:12:52.296
[SPEAKER_01]: The reality is there's a lot of room with there's not a whole lot of room at the top for hangman page to be that champion again unless Tony decides like you're my guy and I'm running with you and based off of the last two world title racy has he doesn't really feel like he's his guy in running with him.

01:12:52.957 --> 01:12:59.383
[SPEAKER_01]: He feels like he's the guy to have the destination of a world title run but not the guy to have the world title run.

01:13:00.730 --> 01:13:28.223
[SPEAKER_00]: definitely given set up guy for next to line not to the long-term champion to build a division around to build a few to round like you are a nice stop gap to get to where I really want to go in and with some more Joe to mjf and if that is how we see hang if that's how we see his hangman I get it but I do think in some ways Tony under Val use hangman because you invested so much of his story two times over to be champion

01:13:28.203 --> 01:13:38.752
[SPEAKER_00]: that you kind of undervalue what he brings to your company in terms of we can tell various stories that people can latch on to connect with and have them buy in.

01:13:39.073 --> 01:13:40.534
[SPEAKER_00]: They go on this journey.

01:13:40.554 --> 01:13:50.302
[SPEAKER_00]: They see me when they want to see me when and at the same time you can let me kind of run this division and get other people over but that is not his role.

01:13:50.683 --> 01:13:56.708
[SPEAKER_00]: According to the Tony, you are a nice

01:13:56.688 --> 01:13:57.971
[SPEAKER_01]: He's good and creative.

01:13:58.331 --> 01:14:06.829
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of the top-level guys, but, you know, if you want to write them out of that and put them in, like, different scenarios, where it's tag team, where they're all different.

01:14:06.849 --> 01:14:15.626
[SPEAKER_01]: I get that hangman, if not a selfish wrestler, but at the same time, like, you kind of need to be to keep your company strong.

01:14:16.087 --> 01:14:16.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:14:17.444 --> 01:14:20.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Kira, when are you back again?

01:14:21.649 --> 01:14:24.893
[SPEAKER_00]: So I am back tomorrow night, hopefully with the rap has got young.

01:14:25.234 --> 01:14:31.061
[SPEAKER_00]: We're capping Monday night raw as the very long, Audress Road to WrestleMania continues.

01:14:31.502 --> 01:14:32.944
[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about the show.

01:14:33.004 --> 01:14:34.986
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about the brand you're in.

01:14:35.006 --> 01:14:38.811
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll turn on Smackdown to Cody Rhodes.

01:14:38.791 --> 01:14:51.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, ahead of their championship match of WrestleMania, so the plan is to go live tomorrow and I don't YouTube around 11 30 PM Eastern and we're going to talk about everything that's going on in WWE, heading into WrestleMania season.

01:14:51.447 --> 01:15:00.175
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome, and I will be back Thursday with Stephen Conway to discuss all things New Japan and they are in the middle of their New Japan Cup.

01:15:00.515 --> 01:15:09.063
[SPEAKER_01]: When we get to Thursday, there will only be the semi-finals in the final with a four and a two to rest or a left.

01:15:09.083 --> 01:15:19.733
[SPEAKER_01]: By prediction, I think show to him in those winning this whole thing, even though Chris Hamza and the sport

01:15:19.713 --> 01:15:30.043
[SPEAKER_01]: One, you, we Murrow, with almost 50% of the pool believing that he will win, New Japan Cup and by this time that's week, we shall all have an answer to that one.

01:15:30.183 --> 01:15:48.842
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Q, I want to thank you for staying up super, super late, and I don't know, hope you don't have to get up super, super early tomorrow, but anything else that you've got about to show any final thoughts, anything that you want people to walk away with is the takeaway of what you

01:15:49.092 --> 01:15:51.094
[SPEAKER_00]: Show of the year so far.

01:15:51.114 --> 01:15:53.176
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this might win.

01:15:53.196 --> 01:15:54.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Pay per view of the year.

01:15:54.738 --> 01:15:55.919
[SPEAKER_00]: We still have a ways to go.

01:15:56.440 --> 01:16:00.584
[SPEAKER_00]: But for me, this is the show of the year A, W is in a really good spot right now.

01:16:01.345 --> 01:16:15.260
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that this card up and down encapsulate that in a good way in terms of them saying that, hey, we got the hot hand creatively booking wise and to anyone else that thinks they're better than us right now.

01:16:15.761 --> 01:16:17.142
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a month to prove it.

01:16:18.691 --> 01:16:28.832
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, uh, this to me felt like AEW said, hey, you got recommended coming up beat this mothers and uh, I don't know if they can.

01:16:29.453 --> 01:16:30.435
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they will.

01:16:30.856 --> 01:16:36.227
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're just going to be happy putting on a show and business is usual and the money's already in their pockets.

01:16:36.207 --> 01:16:56.520
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got one company that is working really, really hard to win the fan retention and to get the acclaim and you've got another company that is working really, really hard to deliver moment and hoping that that will boost the fandom into more.

01:16:57.162 --> 01:16:59.886
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what the right approach is.

01:16:59.866 --> 01:17:18.263
[SPEAKER_01]: but it's going to be an interesting 2026 to see how the power line shift between AEW and WWE, but if AEW keeps putting out shows like they did on Revolution 2026, they're not going to have to worry about WWE because their own product is going to be good enough.

01:17:19.930 --> 01:17:22.294
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Kila, we're going to get out of here.

01:17:22.795 --> 01:17:23.717
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, everybody.

01:17:24.318 --> 01:17:30.087
[SPEAKER_01]: Who joined this in the chat for Nando, John Jordan from Canada.

01:17:31.310 --> 01:17:34.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Who said, bless you, Jeremy Kilo for state update and covering this great event.

01:17:34.956 --> 01:17:40.706
[SPEAKER_01]: No, bless you, Jordan, for coming in at the end of this show and giving us props, bless you.

01:17:41.126 --> 01:17:43.831
[SPEAKER_01]: And with that, we're out of here, everybody, and have a great night.

01:17:44.632 --> 01:17:44.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Goodnight.
