Trey Franklin. Doctor Trey. Do you

7
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:52.399
think you know him? I mean, there's the guy in NXT that calls

8
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.960
himself him or talk about him,
or he's some mother him. Do you

9
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.079

ever really know him? Stay tuned, folks, universal question, Stay tuned.

12
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.319
Welcome to this week's edition of sr
TU lots to discuss Doctor Trey.

13
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.680
Let's start it off with NXT No
Mercy recap in review was this past Saturday

14
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.359
from the Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California. Uh the pre show match

15
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.239
here at Blair Davenport defeating Colonnie Jordan. We did not predict this one.

16
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.439
Colonie Jordan looked good. Blair continues
the uh the storyline with Gigi Dolan.

17
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.920
They carried over to Tuesday's an XCTV. Anything to say here about the pre

18
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:45.879
show match. I didn't know who
Colonie Jordan was so good performance from subody

19
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.400
to who was? But oh I
thought it was. It was an okay

20
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.159
endeavor. Uh. Nothing really outside
of the continuing storyline with Blair and gg

21
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.159
nothing really. It's right Homan out
about I do say, I do not

22
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.599
like the name Klan because you had
a C to the end of her name.

23
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.280
It's kind of gross. Yeah,
no, true, yes it is.

24
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.360
It all sounds like a drink.
Hey, she's very impressive. She's

25
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.240
in the Breakout Tournament. I'm a
fan of Klonnie Jordan. If you've not

26
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.520
had a chance to check her out
in the ring, there is a lot

27
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.360
of upside there. Onto the main
show, Baron Corben defeats braun Breaker.

28
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.560
We both had broun Breaker again the
victory. This is a good physical match.

29
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.960
Braun Breaker is definitely getting better in
the ring, and I liked how

30
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.439
they have been booking braun as someone
who could come back for being slammed on

31
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.319
a car or throw an announced table. The interference of mister Stelle makes sense.

32
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.800
It helped cost Breaker the loss,
which didn't affect Braun's character negativity at

33
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.400
all, and Baron Corman got a
nice win. Your thoughts here, Corbyn

34
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.639
defeats Breaker. It reminds me a
little bit when Goldberg was a heel for

35
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.879
that little bit time, and not
in a bad way. Just even in

36
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.000
a loss, he can still look
like a legitimate monster slash badass. So

37
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.960
it's good for Braun. It's good
for Baron to get a win kind of,

38
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.520
you know, at least give him
a shot when people see him in

39
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.120
a match, like, give him
a little bit of credibility that he actually

40
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.639
wins something. So I thought it
was pretty good for both guys, and

41
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.960
once again tied into tight end with
the von Wagner stuff. So I'm also

42
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.639
still confused. I don't know who's
supposed to be rooting for in all these

43
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.879
fair it is, yeah, two
heels, And I felt the same way

44
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.120
on Tuesday's NXT when Baron Klebern was
still acting like a jackass, as was

45
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.360
bron Breaker. It's like, how
do the fans cheer on a heel versus

46
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.000
heel? Match, and Vaughn is
also a heel, so there's a street

47
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.639
heel. He's been more of a
babyface lately, he has been. He's

48
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.280
been accepting the fan base with his
with his storyline, with his medical condition

49
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.840
upbringing, but he's been more of
the babyface. I hope Braun and Vaughn

50
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.479
become a tag team at some point, just because the rhyming of it would

51
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.599
be so much fun. Yeah,
that would be cool. It would be

52
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.319
like an eighties or early nineties tag
team. Trick Williams defeats Dirty Domsteria to

53
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.759
win the NX North American champion with
a Dirty Dom getting the victory. Surprising

54
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.960
result of Dirty Dom dropping NX North
American Championship to Trick Williams, who was

55
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.479
originally not supposed to be in this
match, but the change was made after

56
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.719
Mustafa Ali the original opponent match was
shocking the release. I was happy for

57
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.520
Trick, who had some good momentum
as of late and his in ring competitiveness

58
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.639
has really improved. However, as
we learned, he dropped the championship on

59
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.639
Tuesdays NXC to Dirty Dom. Your
thoughts on the NXC No Mercy match as

60
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.879
well as the matter took place on
Tuesdays NXC Doctor Try. I was happy

61
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.319
for Trick, but I don't like
the hot shotting of the title. It's

62
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.319
almost like they they did it just
to give him a little bit of credibility,

63
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:40.319
because really, for the majority of
his running XST Trick has not looked

64
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.839
great. And it gave a little
credence to the reports that they were making

65
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.680
Rea the official leader of Judgment Day. So you know, I was happy

66
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.279
for me that regard, but then
it's around and take the belt right back

67
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.199
off. I almost feel like this
is just they were like, hey,

68
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.079
we had Mustafa book to win,
so let's go with that and then we'll

69
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.519
just figure it out after this.
It was a good match and really enjoyable.

70
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.160
It was, and I popped really
hard for a way to when Trick

71
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.720
won. But to turn around to
take the belt right back off them,

72
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.319
I thought was kind of U was
kind of low. Yeah, it was

73
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:15.319
interesting and interesting and peculiar move by
by NX Creative. It makes you think

74
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.240
if there if this adds to the
Carmelo Trick storyline. I don't know.

75
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.560
It's strange if they're concerned about ratings
with Tuesday's aw NXC head to head.

76
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.759
I don't know. Strange move there. The D'Angelo family defeats OTM, the

77
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.959
Creed Brothers in Amberta Career, and
Angel Guards in a fatal four way match

78
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.879
to retain the NXC Tag Team Championship. We both had the di Angelo family

79
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.000
winning a good fatal four way match. Not sure I feel about the injury

80
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.600
angle from Tony d though the finish
also came out of nowhere, as there

81
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.079
was little bill or acknowledgment of their
finisher for the win. The d' angelo

82
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.639
family retains Doctor Trey. Yeah,
I thought it was okay, but you

83
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.759
know, like you rustling points there, I'm still trying to figure out what

84
00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:00.600
out the mud means. Were they
pigs in a past life? I don't.

85
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.160
I don't really get it, but
I'm sure at some point they'll do

86
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.639
it. Vig Yet explained a little
bit more. But uh, I saw

87
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:11.160
those guys, they're they're big dudes, Like they're way bigger than I thought

88
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.480
they were. So, you know, it just kind of led some more

89
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.360
depth to the tag ting division.
But seeing the di' angelo family come out

90
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.600
on top just give them a little
more credibility as well. So I thought

91
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.959
it was Okay, just the finish
was odd. That injury angle. We've

92
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.319
been there, kind of done that. I hope it's I hope it's not

93
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.240
legit because I like Tony D.
But you know, if it is storyline,

94
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:36.120
why because Tony D has been in
jail and injured and everything else.

95
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:41.120
Like it is two years at NXC. Next match is no Am Dar defeating

96
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.079
Butch to retaining NXC Heritage Cup.
We both at Butcherkin and the victory.

97
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.680
I like the concept of the Heritage
Cup and the British rounds rule matches,

98
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.920
but I'm not sure how it's playing
out in front of the live crowd.

99
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.519
The last several times they've done these
matches, it's been met with the response.

100
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.040
With that said, this match was
good to know. I'm Dar has

101
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.920
been fantastic. So it's coming back
to NXC and the United States earlier that

102
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000
year. Obviously, we we got
to see Butch stick around a little bit

103
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.839
longer as he and Tyler Bait did
take on Gallas on Tuesday's NXT, who

104
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:11.639
interfered in this match. No Mdar
retains the NX Heritage Cup. Doctor try.

105
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:17.759
Yeah. It reminds me of when
Impact had their their their Championship there

106
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:23.560
there was that that weird title they
had kind yeah talking about they had judges

107
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.519
and everything. Yeah, and you
would have like Lastly and McIntyre in a

108
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.759
match and the crowd just be like, we don't know what's going on,

109
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.279
and you and I talked about this
back way x UK was going on that

110
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.800
although the in ring work is fantastic, it is kind of a scoring mentality

111
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.040
as well. It's just kind of
like it's just, you know, it's

112
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.959
hard to have a consistent match when
you have breaks. It's weird. It's

113
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.199
it's hard to build up that anxiety
over what's going to happen next. So

114
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.000
it's I think the I think every
time there's a pinfall or that, the

115
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.720
crowd loses a little bit of interest
in a way. So it's a just

116
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.199
of your I know, friends of
mine from the UK loved the concept because

117
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.279
it's very very old school and traditional
and they're in their realm. But for

118
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.439
Americans, we typically don't like adjustments
unless you're gonna give us some more crashes

119
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.240
basically, So uh, it's just
it's I think people just have to get

120
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.560
used to it, because I mean, really the titles liman feature on NXC

121
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.240
television on the in the States now
for about nine months, so it's not

122
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.600
even a year old in the eyes
of the w B famous next match here

123
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.879
is Elily dragon Off defeating Carmelo Hayes
to win the NXC Championsip Eyed Elia Doctor

124
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.480
Trade Carmelo. Great physical match.
I thought this was the right move because

125
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.600
Ely is a main event player in
NXT and could not afford another loss for

126
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.679
the title. It also adds to
Carmelo and not being able to win without

127
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.519
Trick and leave Bakersfield without the championship
while Trick had a title of his own

128
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.840
previously. I would love to see
Carmelo Elia three happen in the near future,

129
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.919
and the rivalry slast matches reminds me
of the Black and Gold era of

130
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.320
NXC. Really enjoyable match here,
Doctor Trey Eliot Dragonoff is your new NXC

131
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:05.279
champion. Ilia Dragonov is so polarizing
to me because I love Ilia Dragonov.

132
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.279
But in my head I'm like,
it's great for Este, but then is

133
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.600
he a main car main event guy? I mean he is like one hundred

134
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.519
and eighty pounds. He's like the
Russian Darby Allen in a lot of ways.

135
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.440
So uh the match himself, that
was fantastic. I really enjoyed it.

136
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.480
I love, like I said,
I love watching Ilia wrestle because everything

137
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.399
he does has intensity and purpose.
Carmelo's just so smooth. There's a nice

138
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.320
contract contrast and styles and if they
have matched three, I'm all for it.

139
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.519
I just long term, does Ilia
like to me, the NXT nx

140
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.039
T should be helping build your main
event stars, like the NFC Championship should

141
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.559
be a priest cursor to being a
main event star on Raw or SmackDown.

142
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.879
And I don't know if Ilia is
a main event kind of guy for Raw

143
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.399
or SmackDown. Yeah, I don't
know either. I have been an Ilia

144
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.080
fan for some time and I thought
this was the right move, and they're

145
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.960
given the opportunity with the ball to
run with it. So he's the new

146
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.039
NXC champ. We will see where
things go from here with the Mad Dragon

147
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.360
of NXT. Then the main event
here, Becky Lynch defeats Tiffany Stratton in

148
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.960
an extreme rules match to retain the
NXC Women's Championship. I had Becky Lynch

149
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.960
Doctor Trey at Tiffany Stratton a good
match. Stratton continues to take big leaps

150
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.720
forward in her inring abilities. I
would have liked to see some more physicality,

151
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:28.480
violence, toughness from Tiffany Stratton,
like a llah Randy Orton from his

152
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.600
match with Cactus Jack back in two
thousand and three two thousand and four Backlash

153
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.679
when he was breaking out, but
it was still a solid performance. Becky

154
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:41.559
is really helping Tiffany elevate her game, and Tiffany is delivering great match Doctor

155
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.759
Trey Becky Lynch wins. Yeah.
Sometimes I watch these matches and you go,

156
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.039
wait, she hasn't been great against
other people. Now she's wrestling like

157
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:54.519
a legitimate main event star. Is
she getting better or is the star carrier

158
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.799
this one? I actually went,
oh, she's actually getting better, so

159
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.240
she's actually stepping her game up.
I am still a little bit confused about

160
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:09.039
the result, Like, what's the
upside of keeping Becky as NFT champion unless

161
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.559
he was trying to help her,
unless she's just trying to help build everybody

162
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.279
up and being But if she's still
on the road with Raw, it's not

163
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.279
like she gets the AEW or Impact
schedule where she gets to kind of just

164
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.440
stay home after the shows. To
me, this is also like let's say

165
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.480
we're like, Okay, Tiffany needs
back up. You know, Tiffany needs

166
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.399
some you know, some some stooges, so to speak, and in her

167
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.600
ranks, because when you have a
match like this, this is the perfect

168
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.480
opportunity for the heel to get the
win and not damage a babyface. And

169
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.960
they didn't pull the trigger, So
good work by the ladies. Just a

170
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.279
little confused by the booking results because
this was the chance to kind of take

171
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.039
the belts off of Becky, put
it back on Tiffany, and give Tiffany

172
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.919
legitimacy by saying, Hey, I'm
the one who beat Becky Lynch, which

173
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.360
nobody else on that roster could say. Addiction record, I went three and

174
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.799
three, Doctor Trade, one and
five. Coming out of this pay per

175
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.759
view, I was nineteen thirty five
Doctor Trey eighty five and forty event rating

176
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.279
and match of the night. I
gave NXC no Mercy a solid three point

177
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.919
six. My match of the night
was Carmela Hayes and Eely dragonoff Doctor Treyer.

178
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:18.279
What say you yeah? How was
there a three point four? I

179
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.039
thought it was a solid show.
Still, like just you know, the

180
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.120
Tony d thing was weird. I'm
so a little confused by the trick Williams

181
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.080
win. It was just kind of
like it was an odd booking show for

182
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:31.360
me. So maybe that's why I'm
a little bit more down on it.

183
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.879
But my match of the night was
Ilia and Carmelo. Just those guys have

184
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:41.039
great chemistry. It's kind of watching
Drago and Apollo Creed fight, just without

185
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.519
the death. I like that.
That's a good comparison. It's a really

186
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.720
good rivalry and they have really good
matches. And again, like I said

187
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.240
earlier on, it reminds me a
lot of that black and Gold era of

188
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.399
NXT where you want to see more
from these two. Yeah, next night,

189
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.559
aw Russell Dream Recap review Past Sunday
from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle,

190
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.519
Washing. There was one, two, three, four pre show zero

191
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.279
hour matches that we did not preview. Originally we did not predict either,

192
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.480
So I'll just quickly mention them here, Doctor Trey, and if there's any

193
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.200
that stood out to you that you
want to cover, when I get done

194
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.519
quickly recapping the results, we can
talk about it because I have maybe one

195
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.159
or two matches i'd bring up here. Sotoshi Kaji McKeith Lee Athena and Billy

196
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.960
Starks defeated Shane Taylor, Lee Mariotti, Mercedes Martinez and Diamante. In an

197
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.639
eight person tag team match, Claudieu
Casignoli defeated Josh Barnett, Lucasaurus defeated Nick

198
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:39.240
Wayne and the Acclaimed, and Billy
Gunn defeated Shane Hast, Mikey Nichols and

199
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.919
Bad Due Tito of the Mighty O'Neil
TMDK to retain the aw World Trios Championship.

200
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.480
Any of those pre show matches you
wanted to bring up here and discuss

201
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.559
anything that stood out to you,
Doctor Try all right, an eight person

202
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.799
interjender match is god awful. Don't
ever do it again. It just the

203
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.879
flow, It just doesn't flow.
The six man's hag. I really enjoyed

204
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:07.759
that match. I forgot how entertaining
Shane Thorne or Shane which is yes,

205
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.519
I just forget how entertaining he was, Like, yeah, he can be

206
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.320
kind of charismatic and and goofy at
times. And I forgot how good TMDK

207
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.120
is when they're attacked. Me adding
big bad dude Teeter that makes it was

208
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.679
really cool. I haven't seen them
in such a I mean, god,

209
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.080
this is what the early days of
Black and Gold when they were a tag

210
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.679
teams and see them together at wrestled
Dream was pretty cool. And then the

211
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.559
Lucasaurs Nick Wayne stuff is pretty interesting
giving how the ending of the show went.

212
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.080
So those are the kind of things
that might takeaways. Yeah, I

213
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.879
guess the one match that you did
not cover there in your little recap is

214
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.559
I thought Claudia cast and only Josh
Barnett was an extremely fun chain wrestling match.

215
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.480
I would go out of your way. If you haven't, go out

216
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.279
of your way and watch that one. If you enjoyed chain wrestling, check

217
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.200
how Claudia and Josh Barnett. But
the pre show matches, it's it's now

218
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.399
an hour and a half pre show
for aw show. I mean it's it's

219
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.960
basically a dynamite it's taking place nowadays
where you have like that many matches taking

220
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.399
place before the show. Crazy thing
for me was I had never seen Josh

221
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.000
Barnett wrestle. Yeah, I hadn't
either, and I enjoyed it. Yeah,

222
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.559
And I had heard he was really
good, and then you got Moxley

223
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.759
on commentary putting him over and everything
else. Like I thought that was actually

224
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.279
the most enjoyable match on the pre
show. It's just one of these was

225
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.120
like, it was just a really
good wrestling match, and with all the

226
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.159
other things going on, it just
you just kind of go, oh,

227
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.120
yeah, it was a really good
match. Just that one was weird.

228
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.399
This thing was weird, and this
was weird. But that was a really

229
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.360
good match. Yeah, I agree, that was a really good match on

230
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.399
main card. Here, MJF representing
better than You Bebey defeats the Righteous Vincent

231
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.399
and Dutch to retain the ROH World
Tag Team Championship in a two to one

232
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.840
one handicap match. We both had
better than you beabey A getting the victory

233
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.960
entertaining match. I hate to see
this loss come at the expense of an

234
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.360
actual tag team with high upside and
the Righteous, but I feel like this

235
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.600
payoff for the whole current MGF storyline
will be worth it. I do find

236
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.799
salce and knowing that Ossie Open loss
last month at all and got rewarded a

237
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.919
month later with an aw tag team
champion match later in that same night,

238
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:11.960
entertaining match doc to trace MJFF wins
retains. Yeah, it was entertaining for

239
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.480
the shenanigans in the match, like
the matchic stuff. I'm like, I

240
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.360
mean really there were points in the
match where MJF Wight It's at John Cena

241
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:26.120
mode. It was like super MJF. Maybe since I was I'm just a

242
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.559
big fan of Dutch and Vincent in
the Righteous. I just think those guys

243
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.960
are are really talented guys. I
just hate seeing a legitimate tag team lose

244
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.440
in a two on one handicap match. And then just you know, I

245
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.240
don't know, the body slam bit
the head of the ass thing was kind

246
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.600
of funny, but it's just I
don't know, I would have wanted to

247
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:48.519
finish, to be even more sneaky, like have him escape and he actually

248
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.639
kind of I don't say, one
clean, but one decisively. So that's

249
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.960
maybe that's my only thing. Because
especially I love MJF. He is only

250
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.639
like five foot eight, so it's
just like he's a little guy doing Super

251
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.440
Senior, which is a little weird
to me. Yeah, it was.

252
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:07.640
It's it's sports entertaining, right,
Yeah, yeah, it was entertaining,

253
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.680
but on a like you know,
the aw preaches like on how their high

254
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.920
quality of matches, but then they'll
have the entertainment aspect too. It's like,

255
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.559
Okay, are you wrestling or are
you entertainment because MJF is entertainment and

256
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.640
then the rest of the show is
kind of wrestling. So I think there's

257
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:23.799
a good I think there could be
a good mix of that. To be

258
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.759
honest, I thought this was a
good way to open up the show with

259
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.279
what they're doing. I just don't
like seeing at the hands of an actual

260
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.440
tag team. Yeah, they don't
portray themselves as an entertainment company. They

261
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.920
portray themselves as a wrestling company.
So that's the dichotomy with it is like,

262
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:44.720
Okay, jf's entertainment. It's funny
because your top stars either entertaining guys

263
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.359
or guys that came from the wrestling
entertainment company. Well, you can make

264
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.359
case they began with entertainment, ended
with entertainment. There you go. Next

265
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.559
match here, Eddie Kingston defeats Kati
Orshabauta to retain the ROH World Championship and

266
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.559
njp W Strong open Weight Championship.
We both had Eddie Kingks again the victory

267
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.759
solid Japanese style match fun watch between
Kanks and Shabbata great win. Telpailled Eddie

268
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.720
as the ROH World Champion. Kingston
retains Actor Trey Yeah, and on was

269
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.880
the end. I had not seen
Shebata other than on tape of seeing Sabata

270
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.839
in the ring. I know he's
wrestling aw That's why he's a pure champion

271
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.880
everything. I just somehow always missed
him. Very various any match, very

272
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.519
very hard hitting match. And it
was also kid of the launch of how

273
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.200
many abdominal stretch octopus holds can we
get in one card in one night.

274
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:37.039
The next match is Chris Statlander defeating
Julia Hart to retain the AWTBS Championship.

275
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.559
We both had stat Lard again the
victory. Stat Lander and Hart put on

276
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.359
a great match. I said last
week when we were previewing this, how

277
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.000
much Julia Hart has improved in the
ring, and it shows as I feel

278
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.759
like she is breaking out right now. Julia Hart may also have the best

279
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.400
top rope moonsalt in all of wrestling. Fun match here, Doctor Trey Statler

280
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:59.079
Lander retains. Yeah. I watched
this match, and I don't know if

281
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:04.720
I do. I compare young wrestlers
to other wrestlers, and Julia Hart I

282
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:10.720
compared to Alexa Bliss because of the
gymnastics background and similar build and similar skill

283
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:15.039
set, and then Statlanders just is
coming off more and more rear Ripley issue

284
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.720
in a lot of ways, and
so much as match and like this is

285
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.599
actually pretty good and pretty compelly.
The only thing I didn't like, like

286
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:26.200
I thought the match was really great
for an aw women's match, is they

287
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.240
kept typing up Julia's twenty eight match
win streak, and also the fact that

288
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.480
stat Lander has been the person who's
beating her the last several times. I

289
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.759
just kind of thought Julie would get
maybe a little bit more offense and and

290
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.039
get a maybe a couple more near
falls. It seem like the time that

291
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.480
she had the most offense was when
they were on the floor fighting. So

292
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.000
that was my only takeaway from it. Like I just said, always Julie

293
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.279
had a little bit more offense to
kind of create that threat. But for

294
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.200
a women's match with two very young
women's wrestlers, was really really good.

295
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.000
Yeah, it was a fun one. It was a really fun one.

296
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.559
And it's not a match that I
figured would be on my radar as a

297
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:04.279
match that would surprised me, and
it did. Statlander and Julie Hart was

298
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.759
a lot of a lot of fun. Next match was the Young Bucks defeated

299
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.000
the Guns Luca Brothers and Orange Cassidy
and Hook in a four way tag team

300
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.680
match to win a future AW World
Tag Team CHAMPIONI match. I had Orange,

301
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.480
Cassidy and Hook, Doctor Trey had
the Guns. Good match. I

302
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.960
just think it would have been nice
to see another tag team not named the

303
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.079
Young Bucks in in an AW Tach
Team Championship match. But it looks like

304
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.240
AW wants up another FTR Bucks match
again soon, Doctor Tray the Bucks are

305
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:32.440
the NORM one contenders again. Yeah, I mean this was a fun match,

306
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.359
you know, got I mean,
other than the Ray Phoenix injury,

307
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:38.480
Like, it was really really,
you know, pretty irritating. I'm a

308
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.720
huge Guns fan, like those guys
have I have won may over. I

309
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.039
mean, they are literally trying to
be all four members all like all five

310
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.880
members of d X at one time. So I gotta get those guys credit.

311
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.119
But I mean me, I would
have held off on, you know,

312
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:59.039
setting up Bucks FTR four maybe a
little bit longer out the Guns still

313
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.880
have unfinished business with him. You
could have gone loot your bros as well,

314
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.599
But I mean I can't really go
wrong with FTR and the Bucks just

315
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.440
because everybody's continue to watch because they
know that it's gonna be a damn good

316
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:15.319
match. Next match is Swerve Strickland
defeating Hangman Adam Page. I had Swerved

317
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.920
had Hangman, great match. I've
been so happy for the building success of

318
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.799
Sturve Strickland since coming over to AW. He has put on some size,

319
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.960
his in ring remains great, and
he has one of the most compelling characters

320
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.799
on AW television. This was by
far the biggest win of his career thus

321
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.359
far, and I'm really looking forward
to see how AW Cree have capitalized on

322
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.279
this win for Swerve. Swerve Strickland
defeats the Hangman. If you had told

323
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.480
me a year ago that Swerve strictly
would be a bigger star in AW than

324
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:42.720
Keith Lee, I would have said, you're nuts. But that's where we're

325
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.039
at right now. Like Swarve,
this was a fantastic match and had me

326
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.480
into it. I loved the contrast
in Hangman kind of having to play the

327
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:57.759
heel because they're here in Seattle,
Prince Nana as have fun watching him dance

328
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:03.079
the entire the entire match and everything
else. Just a fantastic match. And

329
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.240
then just the elevation of Swerve just
shows how much faith they have in him

330
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:10.519
right now, because you don't give
victories or a former aw world champion very

331
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.160
often if you're kind of the quote
unquote mid card guy, and Swerve got

332
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.519
it done. So kudos those guys. It was. It was a damn

333
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.200
damn good match. We did not
predict the next one here is Ricky Starks

334
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.920
defeats Wheeler. You'd it was announced. I believe on collision, good match.

335
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.680
Ricky Starks remains on fire. I
do love the Big Bill Ricky Starks

336
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:33.559
pairing as it reminds me of an
HBK Diesel pairing. Ricky Stark's work wins

337
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:38.440
again Doctor Trey and defeats Wheeler Da
so as Stark's a heel again ers you

338
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:44.640
a baby face because I'm still confused
on what Blackpool Combat Club is, so

339
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.119
I think they're back as babyfaces.
I can understand the confusion though, yes,

340
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.519
okay, because there wasn't. It
wasn't really because even in the backstage

341
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.000
segment you had kind of come came
off as a dick. So it's still

342
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.960
a little confusing, but uh,
really good match. I love Moxley.

343
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.880
Moxley on commentary. Saved Youda in
this match because he kept saying like,

344
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.240
hey, this is Youa's first pay
per view match as singles match. I

345
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:10.759
don't care if he wins or loses. It's all about building him up for

346
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:15.480
five years from now. So it
was a way of Moxley saving the character

347
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:21.920
of Wheeler DA in a losing effort
to Ricky Starks and I like Ricky,

348
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:23.000
but I think he's got to put
on a little bit more size. He's

349
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.160
got to get on the Sward Strickland
die. He's got to put on about

350
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.119
twenty four pounds of muscle to do. It'll be a main eventor I actually

351
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.200
have a note about Moxley on commentary
For the next match, here is Brian

352
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:37.440
Daniel Danielson defeats Zach Saber Junior.
We both had Danielson get in the victory

353
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.680
here. It was a technical wrestling
masterpiece that was expected between these two greats

354
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.319
and they delivered. I hope Dragons
ZSJ do it again sometimes soon. Sidebar

355
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:51.960
and this entire thing. Moxley surprisingly
great on commentary for both Starks and DA

356
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:56.240
and Danielson ZSJ. But this match
was phenomenal. Doctor Treys. Danielson defeats

357
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.480
ZSJ. I have a note on
commentary for this one as well, But

358
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.759
yeah, fantastic match. It was
everything I thought it would be. I

359
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.640
love Zach Saber Junior's blonde hair.
I don't know that's a recent thing or

360
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:15.720
fairly since he left his last stable
there. It's it's like he went to

361
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.240
the Cody Roads. He went to
the barbershop and said give me the Cody

362
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.200
Roads and that's what they were like, Okay, yeah, we can tell

363
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:26.000
you do that. So and I
love the pairy with TMDK because I'm a

364
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.160
big fan of those guys. So
over like fantastic match. Commentary wise,

365
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:37.599
if you're listening to commentary, is
are they setting up Nigel to potentially get

366
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.799
back in during with Brian Dangleson,
Nigel has been pushing that he wants one

367
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.720
more match with Danielson, and he's
been pushing that a lot on commentary.

368
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.279
I would imagine it's happening because according
to reports and I think his own like

369
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:55.640
Instagram, Nigel is training to become
a wrestler again at the very least,

370
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.359
or to wrestle at the very least
put him put him as the mouthpiece for

371
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.279
TMDK eight, you know, like
that at the very least on me.

372
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:06.039
Well, if they're there regularly,
right, Yeah, so if they're gonna

373
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:08.440
be around, put Nigel with them
or let you know, if Will Ospray's

374
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.839
with Don Kallis slide Ozzie open over
them as well and just put them all

375
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.079
together, like all the all the
Australians and British go to Nigel. That

376
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.480
should be the rule. And I
could literally if you just took ex Caliber

377
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.160
out of the broadcast move of that
one, I could literally just listen to

378
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.599
Nigel and John Moxley go back and
forth. They were great. It was

379
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:32.359
good. It was really freaking good. Yeah, commentary on this entire show

380
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.400
overall, outside of Taz screw some
stuff up and Nigel calling them on it

381
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.319
which actually made it entertaining. H
was really really good the entire night.

382
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.680
So yeah, no, they they
were great. I love the aw commentary

383
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.400
teams because they sound like they're having
like a lot of fun. Like they

384
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:52.759
always cracked me up. The Taz
Shavanni excliber one always cracks me up.

385
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.000
I just think it's it's very hard
to do because they keep changing out people.

386
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.359
Yes, you know, your rotate
Savanni, Tazz and Jay Are.

387
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.799
It's not easy to get in a
rhythm and for that going on, those

388
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.359
guys did a fantastic job. I
mean it made leonary for what five and

389
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.319
a half hours, So yes,
yes, it was Yeah. The don

390
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.000
Colls family, Kenoso Get Takeshka Samy
of Arnwell, Osprey defeat Christ Jericho and

391
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.799
the Golden Lead of Kenny Omegan Cooto
Obushi in a trios match. We both

392
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.880
had the don Kal's family winning.
This match is really good until the finish

393
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.359
when it took forever for the interference
spots, only for Don Cows to roll

394
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:32.319
out of the ring in eyesight of
the ref and Osprey being able to hold

395
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:37.680
off Coda and Omega while Takeshka was
doing nothing to preserve the pin to the

396
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.079
very slow three count, which is
typically a reserve for injured refs, which

397
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.759
Aubrey was not for the end,
ninety five percent of this match was great.

398
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.680
The final five percent was not.
Don Kalle's Family wins. Doctor Trey.

399
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.759
You know, for all the time
a couple of weeks ago about the

400
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:57.640
the Mockley Phoenix missed three count spot, Aubrey Edwards is the worst referee in

401
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:06.119
aw WHOA, she's she's got awful
like she like the rep's job is to

402
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:11.240
not be noticeable, and she is. In every match she does something,

403
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.200
whether it's like in this match,
the kicking the with the when they're doing

404
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.960
the four way stretch on the abdominal
stretch with the Don Couch family and she

405
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:23.000
runs in to kick the arm and
then all that stuff. She's always noticeable,

406
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.079
like she's just not good. I
mean, the at least the women

407
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:33.079
in it WW the two Feopble reference
they have there don't typically get involved.

408
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.240
So but this match that he said, I love, this match I thought

409
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.599
was really good, really, you
know, top notch, but yeah,

410
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.039
the finishes weird and I literally,
as will Osprey is holding two grown men

411
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.480
with one arm each from getting into
the ring, I went, well,

412
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.559
I did tell Jeff about four years
ago, if will Osprey put on about

413
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.960
thirty pounds of muscle, he'd be
a main event guy. And will Osprey's

414
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.519
just showing off. They put on
thirty pounds of muscle. Takeshka. Man,

415
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.720
he's he's he can be so good, but he's still green. And

416
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:06.400
you see it in a couple of
spots in that match where right there Ospra

417
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:10.119
has to cover for him not being
there to hold a leg or you know,

418
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:14.880
the finish, when he's just kind
of hunched over in the corner waiting

419
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.200
for something to happen, waiting for
Cal's interfere. It's just like, you

420
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.960
know, he's gonna be a he's
gonna be a huge star. The guy's

421
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.440
gonna be a potential. You know, if he goes back to New Japan,

422
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.319
he'll be a new Japan heavyweight champion. But right now he's still a

423
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.519
little raw, and when you got
everybody else in there, it kind of

424
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.359
shows out. But sorry, the
matter with me was saman Gavar. Saman

425
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.160
Gavar is having so much fun fighting
Chris Jericho, Like you just feel how

426
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.839
much joy he was having. It's
a shame he got apparently concussed during that

427
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.480
match, but even celebrating wise,
you couldn't sell he was concussed because he

428
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.839
was still making jokes and everything else. So just top match match is a

429
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.839
little clunky on the finish. Next
rat year was FTR defeating Ossi Open and

430
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.720
retaining aw World Tag Team Championship.
Both an FTR again the victory great tag

431
00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:59.480
match. I thought This was a
statement match for OSSI Open to the American

432
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.400
audience at they are a great tag
team, as they seem to lead most

433
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.160
of the match and looked poised to
beat FTR. I've got your performance from

434
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:10.160
Mark Davis of OSSI Open battleing through
with a broken wrist. The super Shadow

435
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:14.480
machine was a cool spot FTR retain
over OSSI Open Doctor Try Yeah, but

436
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.960
then they just did a super shadow
machine during the Young Bucks match. Did

437
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.680
they do that all in? Probably? Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did

438
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.680
it all in because I think you're
right yeap, So here's a cool spot,

439
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:26.319
Like I love the match, but
then when it came to the fish,

440
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.000
I'm like, wait, did I
just kind of see this match it

441
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.240
all in? Like it was almost
copy and paste for a lot of a

442
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.880
lot of the spots for FTR Ozie
Open look great, which tells me that

443
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.839
FTR is very a very giving tag
team that they'll whoever they're the ring with,

444
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.599
they're gonna make them look like stars. So great perforce for Ossie Open.

445
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:49.079
I hope you know, Mark Davis
gets back soon because it just sucks

446
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:52.000
we have a breakout match and then
you break your wrists because then you might

447
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.759
get shows the pretty deadly syndrome,
you know, like you're getting a push

448
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:59.440
and then one guy gets injured and
then you're just off TV for a while.

449
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.279
So up an FDR when they were
back in wa Yeah. So but

450
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:04.680
for those guys, I mean,
it was a great match. I just

451
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:10.039
to me once again, like it's
Aussie Open doing FTR shadow Regine. Well,

452
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:11.799
we just saw that the Young Bucks
match. There's a lot of the

453
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.799
similarity between this match and the Young
Bucks match. But that match was fantastic.

454
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.279
So if you're on copy something that's
fantastic, it's probably gonna be fantastic

455
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:23.680
again. So there you go.
Next match was Christian Cage defeating Darby Allen

456
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:27.519
in a two out of three falls
match to retain the aw t NT Championship.

457
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:32.279
We both had Christian Cage getting the
victory. Very entertaining, compelling match.

458
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.680
The falls made a ton of sense
that they and they played to each

459
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:38.519
wrestaureran on how they were executed,
from Darby using the turtleneck to outsmart Christian,

460
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:42.480
to Christian's count out victory, and
then finally Nick Wayne turning on Darby

461
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:45.519
for the final three. It was
an all around great match and the finish

462
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:51.839
of Adam Edge Copeland making his AW
debut was really well executed, but more

463
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:53.759
on him on a bit in a
bit here, doctor Trey, your thoughts

464
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:59.839
here. Christian Cage defeats Darby to
retain you forget sometimes how good Christian Cage

465
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:03.440
can beat her right match, and
I'm like, man, like, this

466
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.680
is so much of his time in
WW mix with what he wants in you

467
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:12.640
in a ring like typical traditional wretches. The wrestling matches don't get the turtle

468
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:17.519
deck spots, you know, but
it made sense in this avenue. You

469
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.079
know, you don't get that.
The brutality of those moves on the steps.

470
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.519
I'm like, like, dark,
I swear to guy like Christian was

471
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.640
gonna do that soup plexit, went
this might kill Darby, let me go

472
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.559
do it on the floor, and
then the weird body slam on it.

473
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.759
I was like, that's him protecting
Darby and not taking us their wrists.

474
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:40.119
Like this match was was really really
good. The Nick Wayne turned I think,

475
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:41.720
I like I saw it, I
kind of saw it coming, but

476
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:47.960
I'm kind of over Nick Wayne's mom. I don't know what it is,

477
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.480
Like this just too of her in
that match, like she had more screen

478
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.640
time than almost anybody else in that
match. Just seemed like I was like,

479
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.839
somebody just loves that blondheaded woman over
there in the corner. Okay,

480
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.240
but you know it made sense for
the finish. You saw her being upset

481
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.279
with Nick turning on her and turning
on Derby and siding with Christian Cage.

482
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.240
I'll tink right now, I'm stealing
the Patriarch gimmick. I don't know if

483
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.839
that's gonna be his actual nickname that
Nigel gave him to that metch, but

484
00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.039
if not, I'm taking it.
I will I will call myself the patriarch

485
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:20.759
and the daddy of every wrestling company
I work for ever in the future again.

486
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:23.400
So I'm totally stealing that. But
just a really really good, fun,

487
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:28.079
entertaining match real quick, before we
give Masha the Knight an event rate

488
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.000
and recap pay for reprediction record.
Just want to add this because I don't

489
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.559
know how else we're gonna address this, but Doctor Trey missed opportunity by aw

490
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.119
not addressing why Nick Wayne did what
he did on Wednesday's Dynamite. I think

491
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.960
so a little bit like they should
have done the little like Cage in the

492
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:46.039
ring Nick within there explaining what he
did. Give a little more. I

493
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:50.799
mean, I know on commentary they
try to explain it how like Darby trained

494
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:54.519
at his dad's school and Nick grew
up watching Derby in there, and they

495
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:59.720
tried to allude to, you know, Christian being the father figure now for

496
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.480
Nick with him not having one.
I know they try to cover, but

497
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.960
it'd be nice to hear from the
horse's mouth and give a little more depth,

498
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:13.000
even if it's just Christian doing it
for him. You know, to

499
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.880
me, this is really reminiscent of
you know, I think I told you

500
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.799
off air like last week about this
where I kind of felt like Nick would

501
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.720
turn because Christian Cageon needed a new
jungle boy. You know, you need

502
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:28.480
that young guy to kind of mold
into your own image. And by god,

503
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.920
Nick Wayne could fit the Christian character
to a t if this is the

504
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:36.359
career path he wants to go.
Hopefully, they addressed it on Rampage or

505
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.000
Collision, so they still have a
lot of programming to do this, but

506
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:44.720
they did not immediately address it.
On Wednesday, Dynamite paperbreew prediction record for

507
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.480
a W. Russell Dream I went
eight and one Doctor Tree went seven to

508
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:50.559
two. Coming out of this pay
per view, I'm at ninety eight thirty

509
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.799
six Doc to Train ninety two and
forty two Match of the night in event

510
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:58.559
rating, I gave Wrussell Dream a
four point one, very very enjoyable show,

511
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:00.640
and I gave my Match the Night
to Danielson and Zach Saber Junior.

512
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.599
I was at a four point too. This is actually my one of my

513
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.880
more favorite AW papers. There really
wasn't a outside of the pre show.

514
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:14.840
There really wasn't a clunker match on
here. And maybe it's because almost every

515
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:19.920
single match featured a former ww guy
leading the match in some way outside But

516
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:22.519
my match of the night, my
surprise you. I gave it to Swerve

517
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.679
and Adam Page, Like, I
just really loved that match, and and

518
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.480
can we get all the Adams onto
one tag team and just call him like

519
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:35.280
the Adam Smashers or you know,
the three man Adams or something of that

520
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.719
coming in. Whether there's Cole Copeland
Page, Am I missing any of the

521
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:45.800
other Adams, Ali, Alex Abrahontes, Yeah he's not. He's not an

522
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.239
Adam though, but we just Adam
because he's an Alex. Oh, okay,

523
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:54.199
just changed his name to Adam Adam
Abrahontes after this, there's a lot

524
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:58.440
of there's a lot of Adams in
this company right now, and Alex Marvaz

525
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.760
Ah yeah, and then or you
do Brian Cage and Christian Cage. True.

526
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:05.960
True. If this was WWA,
they would not be liking this right

527
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.039
now. So there you go.
Actually that fits, Doctor Tray. This

528
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:15.199
was your highest rated AW show so
far this year. Sometimes I pay attention

529
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.599
to what we do here. Here
you go, Yeah, highest rated awshow.

530
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:22.679
It was a very, very solid, good show from all Elite Wrestling

531
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:27.159
this past Sunday night. The big
news coming out of the show, Doctor

532
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:32.840
Trey was the debut of Adam Edge
Copeland. We talked about this a couple

533
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:39.760
of weeks back after Adam Copeland,
It's gonna be weird saying this now had

534
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.800
his final match in w again Seamous
on SmackDown, celebrating twenty five years.

535
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:49.239
There's a lot of rumors in reports
suggesting that he was on his way to

536
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.360
awwfelt he was on his way to
AWAW felt he was on his way to

537
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:57.559
AW. We discussed it at the
time. We were not in favor of

538
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:01.320
the idea. We felt that Adam
Copeland was a guy edge needed to stay

539
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:10.199
in wa well with one appearance and
then watching the post media scrum, the

540
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:15.840
post show media scrum, reading a
couple of interviews he's done, watching some

541
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:22.159
more videos exclusives, and reading his
tweets. This was the right move for

542
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:28.920
Adam Copeland. I am not a
person who is a tribalistic fan of wrestling

543
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.559
where I'm on team WE I hate
AW, or I'm on team AW and

544
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:37.880
I hate WE. I like both
companies equally. I do think that there

545
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.199
are some wrestlers that are just AW
stars and WE stars, and they should

546
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.239
have remained with those companies. I
did think that Adam Copeland was one of

547
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:50.320
those people. I am wrong.
You hear what he had to say.

548
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:53.280
He has nothing but amblicable and nice
things to say about his time in WE.

549
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:59.840
He felt that he and w WE
had outgrown one another creatively, that

550
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:06.000
AW spoke to him more, and
it gave him an opportunity to wrestle with

551
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.440
his friends and be with people that
he has never wrestled with. Have a

552
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:15.239
blank canvas and whenever you hear Adam
Colplan speak like it's legitimate, it's authentic,

553
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:20.199
and it's just rejuvenating to hear,
because you don't hear many people say

554
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:24.199
that, and his radiation on the
screen of how exciting it was was that

555
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:29.039
he was really really spoke to me
as a fan, and you can't do

556
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.000
nothing more than just be excited and
happy for him, Doctor Trey. And

557
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:38.519
I mean, I think I've always
kind of underappreciated Edge as a whole.

558
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:43.320
I've never been a huge Edge guy, But the more I've seen him over

559
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:45.960
these last couple of years, you
really start to appreciate him, especially being

560
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:51.039
the fact that he was away for
almost ten years. I'm super excited for

561
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.119
him, Doctor Trey. I think
this was a great pickup for AW.

562
00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:01.000
It is a pickup that can fill
the void of what CM punk was potentially

563
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:07.480
supposed to do with AW and and
b uh somebody that can can be a

564
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:13.039
leader in a locker room and be
a sounding board for the company and also

565
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:16.159
represented proudly on television each week.
This, to me, is is the

566
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:22.280
perfect move for both AW and Adam
Copeland. Adam Copeland is all elite doctor

567
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:27.800
try Yeah, So like from an
AW perspective, it's a great move.

568
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.639
It immediately fills the CM punk boy
and you're filling it with somebody who I

569
00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:36.679
have never heard anybody really say a
bad word about Edge. No, it

570
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.719
all my years of wrestling, you
know, and fandom and then being in

571
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:42.639
the business a little bit like,
No, he's ever had a bad word

572
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:46.159
to say. I mean literally,
like there are other there Edge and Christian's

573
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:51.079
best other best friend of sind body
who comes to Rocket City quite frequently,

574
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:54.719
and I mean, you've never heard
a bad thing about those guys. Edge

575
00:38:54.760 --> 00:39:00.599
is the consummate professional, Like he
understands you don't Burnbridge hell, you know,

576
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.760
when he's sixty five, he may
want that WW Legends deal. So

577
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:07.920
you don't say anything bad. You
don't say anything bad about the burn Bridges.

578
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:12.480
From a personal aspect for Adam Copeland, it's a great move. Like

579
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:15.400
we just said, Christian Cage is
like, you know, lifelong best friend

580
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:22.840
FTR are his best friends. Uh. Like I was laughing about it as

581
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:23.840
I watched the show, because you
know, you and I were talking about

582
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:27.719
like CMFTR when Pug was I'm like, okay, cool. Now we get

583
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.559
rated FTR or ft rated R,
like we get some kind of combination of

584
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:35.760
that. That'll be fun. Yeah, getting to work with Jericho and Omega,

585
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:39.239
all these guys that, all these
Canadians you know that he's either been

586
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:44.039
friends with, been into business with, or helped kind of mold, you

587
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:49.079
know, is great for him.
I'm not entirely sold on AW bookings,

588
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.920
so I always say this, I'm
cautious. This is one of our great

589
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:57.800
catchphrases here. I'm cautiously optimistic about
how they book edge in AW. Like

590
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:01.119
some of the people have come over
WWE that we were super excited about,

591
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:05.119
thought they'd get a great opportunity,
have kind of fallen by the wayside,

592
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:09.119
and then we get other people that
shine. I'm causually optimistic that he'll get

593
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:15.199
a great push, that he'll get
a great run. God knows, there's

594
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.599
seventy five titles in AW, so
he'll probably have one within three weeks.

595
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.960
But from a personal level, which
is what wrestling really does come down to,

596
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:28.480
this is the best move for him
personally, for his career and for

597
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:34.000
the next you know, like he
said, for eight twelve years, for

598
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:36.679
as long as he wants to be
wrestling, this is the best spot for

599
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:40.360
him. I'm with you. I
thought the same thing there. It's creatively

600
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:45.000
with AW. It can be hit
or missed sometimes they are hitting on all

601
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:46.519
strides and it's a lot of fun, and then there's times where it's like,

602
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:51.679
man, they've kind of forgotten about
this angle in the storyline. I

603
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:53.880
guess the saving grace here, Doctor
Trey is and correct me if I'm wrong

604
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:58.320
if you feel otherwise. When it
comes to AW Creative right now, he

605
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:04.159
is injecting himself into to what is, in my opinion, probably the number

606
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.679
one best storyline in AW right now
with Christian Cage, which is or as

607
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:12.239
Nick Wayne Darby Alenstin whoever like this
is to me, I think this is

608
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.360
some of the best stuff they're doing. I think it has surpassed the MJF

609
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:21.360
Adam Cole stuff because of Adam Cole's
injury. But I would say that the

610
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:23.840
saving grace here is, while I
agree with you on the AW Creative Edge,

611
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:30.599
is entering into maybe the best creative
storyline in all lead wrestling right now.

612
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:36.079
Uh. I will say, yes, the Adamical injury dampened the better

613
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:40.320
than You Babe storyline. I think
we're for guys like you and me.

614
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:47.280
The interjecting himself into the Cage derby
Nick Wayne storyline is great because we have

615
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.559
history like you know, if Edge
and Christian Cage are working together, it's

616
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:57.719
going to be good because they've got
twenty years of proof that it'll be good

617
00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:59.960
and it'll be entertaining. I mean, hell, we can go back.

618
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.800
I can. Is the Edge Christian
show still around that we can watch on

619
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:06.599
Peacock, you know, I think
it is. That is such an underrated,

620
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:09.239
amazing show on the network. But
just the fact that you can go

621
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:14.960
see their comedic timing and how well
everybody else played off of them and went

622
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:19.559
along with their stuff, and Edge
lends instant credibility to any storyline if he

623
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:23.320
goes to two. Like if if
MGVIND walked out and said, hey,

624
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:28.360
I got somebody to night to help
me since Adam Cole's out and Edge had

625
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:32.280
come out to be mjf's partner in
that match against the Righteous and interjected himself

626
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:36.280
into the storyline with MGF and Adam
Cole. You and I've been like,

627
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.400
oh my god, that's it,
Adam Adam Copeland, mgf's a dream match,

628
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:43.039
Adam Copland, Adam Cole, that's
a dream match. We probably would

629
00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:47.039
have felt very similar, but the
fact that it's Adam Copeland and Christian Cage,

630
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:52.159
you get that extra layer of credibility
built onto it to even hype it

631
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:57.239
up even more. I thought there
was an interesting point made by Edge resa

632
00:42:57.320 --> 00:43:00.400
they had outgrown one another he and
w w WA. Do you do you

633
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:06.199
agree with that? Because when you
look back at the creative for Edge,

634
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:12.400
since he's come back right, very
intermittent here and there, comes off like

635
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:15.719
a part time star because he was
booked that way and his contract, I'm

636
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:20.320
guessing was that way at a certain
amount of dates, and then he wants

637
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:22.760
to go to aw and work a
full time schedule, which is kind of

638
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.800
strange because it's like, okay to
them, why didn't you do that?

639
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:30.639
In w WA? Is he right? Do you think did he and w

640
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:35.440
WE outgrow one another? Because I
feel like they kind of have taken him

641
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:39.039
for granted ever since Wrestle Many thirty
eight or Wrestle at thirty nine closed out

642
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:43.039
back in his match of the Hell
of Sell match with with Finn Ball,

643
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.599
or maybe they knew he was on
his way out. I just felt like

644
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:47.920
it was it was a weird ending
and maybe weird creative for some time with

645
00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:52.639
Edge. I think on one hand, they looked at it and went,

646
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:58.000
we've had ed and Rowan reigns.
We've had Edge and seth Rawlins, We've

647
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:02.000
had Edge and Finn Balor, We've
had Edge and Randy Orton. There maybe

648
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:08.519
in their minds there wasn't enough people
deserving of the EDGE rub, so to

649
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:13.000
speak. And we've seen this with
We saw it with Page, we saw

650
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:16.199
with Daniel Bryan. With the people
who are coming back from like long term

651
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:21.199
injuries, they don't put them on
a full time schedule. They do put

652
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:23.719
them on a part time or not
at all type schedule, and then when

653
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:30.199
they go to AW, they wrestle
way more frequently. So I think Edge's

654
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:36.519
limited usage in WW is more health
related and the W doctor is kind of

655
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:39.920
airing on the side of safety.
I guess I don't want to say safety

656
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:44.480
beause that makes it sound like AW
is not safe, but let's wear and

657
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:49.679
tear and kind of kind of like
in the NBA where Lebron will take four

658
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:52.559
nights off to come back and play
a big game, you know on the

659
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.360
weekend, you know you want to
save him for the playoffs. I kind

660
00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:58.800
of feel like W did that with
Edge, where they were saving him for

661
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:04.159
the big sp and using even those
roles where AW can look at and go,

662
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:07.480
Hey, we can put you on
Dynamite Collision. If you want to

663
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.239
be on Rampage, We'll put you
on Rampage. Hell if we stop another

664
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:14.719
YouTube show, we'll put you on
there. Like they're going to maximize on

665
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:19.000
the value that Adam Copeland brings.
Where WB has so much value built in,

666
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:24.599
they don't need an Adam Copeland where
I think AW given the cmpunk situation,

667
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:30.639
desperately needed a guy of Adam Copeland's
name value to bring in. So

668
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:35.480
will this be successful? Doctor Trey
right, that's stand all be all here?

669
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:40.079
Is this going to be a successful
new relationship for both Adam Copeland and

670
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:44.719
Ali Rustling? I think it is. I love this move, to be

671
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:46.800
honest with you. I think it's
a great move also just and like we

672
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:53.480
talked about earlier. To me,
it's the professionalism and the mindset that Adam

673
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:59.159
Copeland has where everybody that roster's gonna
love the guy. Like like I said,

674
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:04.800
you never heard anybody say a bad
thing about Adam Copeland in all that

675
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:08.760
time in WWE, where he can
come in and he can fit in with

676
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:14.639
anybody on this rostery He's got you
know, for all the X we guys.

677
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.199
He's got store backstorylines built in for
all the young guys. It's similar

678
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.400
to what they were going to see
him punk. You know, he can

679
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.239
fit across all the boards. And
the other thing is he's another great recruiter.

680
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:28.760
We heard about Cody recruiting and Jade
Cargill. You know, if if

681
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.880
somebody's contracts up a WW and you
get a call from Edge, who was

682
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:35.880
just there, why would you not
pick up that phone call and listen?

683
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:38.159
So this is kind of like,
I don't want to say it's it's reminiscent

684
00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:40.480
of the Monday Night Wars, but
it's a little bit tipped for Ted.

685
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:44.960
Hey, we took Cody and Jade. You guys took you know, Brian

686
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:49.199
and Uh and Edge from us.
They took they took a lot from w

687
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:54.000
to be honest, that's true.
Adam Coles, Oh yeah, I mean

688
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:58.119
you can run down the list,
but I mean it's a great I mean

689
00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:01.000
to counter I mean the most too
recent ones have been you know, Jade

690
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:06.440
and Cody. This is a great
counter for Jade and Cody. I was

691
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:08.840
recently just thinking about that. We'll
get to preview and w fast line preview

692
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:14.480
predictions. Hem romentarily. I was
just thinking recently, like I was watching

693
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:20.639
Dynamite and it was that opening segment
with with Renee, Omega, Jericho and

694
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:23.639
Edge, and I'm sitting there and
I'm like, and I thought this the

695
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:28.000
night before too, when I was
listening to Nigel on commentary. There are

696
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:31.920
so many people that w we have
let walk that are so talented and it

697
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:36.519
makes you really scratch your head because
I'm listening to Nigel do commentary and I'm

698
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:40.960
thinking to myself like why why was
he just you know, why wasn't he

699
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.920
elevated for NXC when it was him
Mari, ernardlo And and Beth Phoenix like

700
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:50.800
that was a really good commentary team, even Percy Percy Watson, Like why

701
00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:54.199
was he relegated to I think like
two of five Live at the end and

702
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:58.639
maybe it was a little bit of
NXC level up? Why was this guy

703
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:01.199
on Ron SmackDown? He's so good? Renee backstage, It's like, why

704
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:07.800
why isn't she working the microphone in
raw or smack Down or hosting the show

705
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:13.239
for w A. All these talented
stars, Danielson, Adam Cole, Edge,

706
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.599
like all these guys like what why, why would you leave w or

707
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:21.119
why would w WE let you leave? But I think all those people have

708
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.519
made the right career decisions by going
all lead wrestling, And it just made

709
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:28.039
me like scratching my head a little
bit. I had just like this moment

710
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:30.679
of clarity on Sunday for a little
bit and then watching the show on Wednesday's

711
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.920
time, and I'm like, there
are so many talented people that w was

712
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.239
like, all right, we're ready
to move on from you that have been

713
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.639
so much more successful now in all
lea wrestling. Swarre Strickland is another one,

714
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:45.360
Like what Swarve Strickland has been one
of my favorite wrestlers this year's He's

715
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.960
on the rise. There's so much
upside there, Like why why couldn't w

716
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:52.559
W figure this out? I don't
know, just a weird, weird little

717
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:55.360
thought that went through my head.
Doctor Trey Well as I've been watching AW

718
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:59.920
last couple of days, but I
was like, man, WW really fun

719
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.920
up with some of these guys and
girls. It to me is a little

720
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:07.360
bit of a you're a Northeastern guy. It's a little bit of Bill Belichick

721
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.960
mentality. In w W they'd rather
let a guy leave too early than too

722
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:15.800
late. I'm also a Packers fan, so I'm used to that, I

723
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:17.679
know, but it's a little bit
of like, hey, you know,

724
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:22.840
do we hang on to these guys
and basically milk them for everything they have?

725
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:24.400
And we've seen them do that back
in the nineties and they kind of

726
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:30.840
backfired. And I think Vince and
you know the other higher ups have just

727
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.920
been conditioned to, hey, we're
you know, let's keep building on the

728
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.280
future, keep building in the future, and then it ends up happening.

729
00:49:37.280 --> 00:49:38.079
If you get a show, you're
like, crap, we got to bring

730
00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:43.000
in a Sena or a Lessner or
somebody like that, just because maybe the

731
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.960
our younger guys don't have the name
value. But you know, with aw

732
00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:50.400
once again, it's a much You
also look at the travel schedule for some

733
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.840
of the stuff with some of these
older guys, like, you know,

734
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:55.960
could they keep up working three hundred
and twenty or three hundred days of year

735
00:49:55.960 --> 00:50:00.639
and actually I think he's probably down
about two fifty, but eight w works

736
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:04.519
one hundred and twenty. You know, it's still a you know, half

737
00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:07.360
the schedule for this, you're roughly
the same amount of pay. You know,

738
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:10.119
if you're an older guy, why
wouldn't you make the jump. And

739
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:13.719
for all the successes that they these
guys have had, you know, we

740
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.679
mentioned I mentioned the b show.
Keith Lee's on the pre show. You

741
00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:20.039
know, this is a guy that
you and I like. This Gid was

742
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:22.519
a guy that was punching Roman Reigns
in the face at Survivor series just a

743
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:25.280
couple of years ago. And we
all have to be a ban event star.

744
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:29.719
And he's on the pre show of
AW had an inter gender eight man

745
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:32.480
tag match. No Mirror on this
show, No Malachi Black on the show,

746
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:37.960
now Idelo on this show. So
for all the successes we've had,

747
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:42.239
we've also seen it, you know, like Robert Strong's in a great storyline,

748
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:45.679
but Bobby Fish is already out of
the company, you know, like

749
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:50.679
and Kyler Riley's been hurt for the
last year, it seems like. So

750
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:53.760
for all the great successes, there
are still some people that can't find their

751
00:50:53.760 --> 00:51:00.679
way. So I think W takes
educated bets on what's somebody will do,

752
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:05.760
and that is up to those guys
to either follow through and increase their value

753
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:09.199
or kind of spread water and fall
by the wayside. Threw that W was

754
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:14.119
right about them. Yeah, it's
strange. Yeah, there are some opposite

755
00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:16.360
are some downs, even like Tony
Storm recently, I saw her on television

756
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:21.519
like Matt highly entertaining, but maybe
they need a company like AW do unlock

757
00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:24.320
that creativity. It's strange. It
makes you think a little bit. Some

758
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.400
people do really well on the landscape, some people do really well in the

759
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:31.199
AW landscape. Some people do really
well in both landscapes. I fully expect

760
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:35.840
that Adam Edge Copeland will do very
well in All Lead Wrestling. It's a

761
00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:37.960
great signing, it's a great move. I'm very excited for Adam Copeland and

762
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:43.159
really look forward to see this run
in All Lead wrestling. Let's wrap up

763
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:45.280
this week's edition of the show with
the w W Fastlane preview predictions. It

764
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:50.159
comes to us this Saturday from the
game Bridget Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

765
00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:54.039
First match here is the Judgment Day
Finn Balor and Damian Preese defending the Undisputed

766
00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:59.760
Tag Team Championship against Cody Rhodes and
Jay Usso I've got the Judgment Day retaining

767
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:01.599
on this one, Doctor Trey,
what say you? Yeah, I've got

768
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:05.960
the Judgment Day retaining to set up
the Survivor Series match we talked about a

769
00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:08.400
couple weeks ago. But wait,
do you only have five matches? I

770
00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:12.199
only have five matches? Yeah,
okay, I looked it up. I

771
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:14.400
was like, I only see five
matches in the show. So going from

772
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.719
a five and a half hour pay
per views to some basically you do in

773
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:20.559
an hour and a half if you
really wanted. That's one thing here.

774
00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:23.320
Let's take a quick pause. Aw, if they're doing twelve shows a year

775
00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:28.360
or more, they have got to
lower the time on these cards. It's

776
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:30.840
it's way too fucking long, Doctor
Trey. Well, I mean, then

777
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:36.559
again, you can look at it. WW is basically running NXT and a

778
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.400
pay per view every single month.
You're still kind of getting about the same

779
00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:43.559
amount of time. They're just splitting
it up over two weekends. Well,

780
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:46.159
I mean NXC just ran the show
this past weekend, and then then our

781
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:50.119
next show is in early December,
so I wouldn't say it's like every month.

782
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:54.360
Yeah, but the Survivor Series is
the end of November, so it

783
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:59.199
could be possible that you do Survivors
Series and nxts on back to back weekends.

784
00:52:59.239 --> 00:53:01.119
Again, are you ending the five
and a half hour a W pay

785
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:05.000
per views? No? No,
No, I'm wishing they would break it

786
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:07.039
up. Do too nice. If
you're gonna do six hours, at least

787
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:12.079
do WrestleMania. Like we literally just
talked about Keith Lee in a pre SCIOW

788
00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:14.400
match that made no sense at all, Like, what are we doing?

789
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:21.159
Just giving him a paycheck? Holler
holler, holler? All right, next

790
00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:24.719
match, you're l w O,
ray Masteriro Santos Escomar and maybe either Jacques

791
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:30.039
Wild or Cruise Del Toro taken on
Bobby Lashley in the Street Profits. They

792
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.159
haven't announced the third person for l
w O. I seem to think that

793
00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:37.519
this will be oh God, Dragon
Lee and n next. I just have

794
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:42.480
that feeling, Doctor Trey, who
do you like in this one? Uh?

795
00:53:42.519 --> 00:53:45.079
Well, I'm taking the street prop
or the street business. Can I

796
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:50.880
call them street business or the hurt
profits? What I like hurt profits?

797
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:53.840
I like the hurt profits. I'm
thinking this, guys, what is Carlito?

798
00:53:54.400 --> 00:54:00.079
Because good call? But uh how
about a great call because he's under

799
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:04.000
contract? Yeah, because I keep
seeing them go, oh, it could

800
00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:06.599
be Cruise Del Toro. I'm like, like, really, that'd be a

801
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:08.239
letdown if it's Cruise or uh no, no, no, you're right,

802
00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:12.519
this is the time to bring back
Carlito, who's reportedly under contract. I

803
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:15.760
like that call, good call.
I've got Bobby Lashley in the street profits

804
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:19.400
as well. Next match is the
triple Throat match for the WA Women's Championship

805
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:22.320
EO Sky Defense against Oscar and Charlotte
Flair. I've got Io retaining Doctor Trey.

806
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:28.119
This one's hard for me, like
I've literally I can. I literally

807
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:30.239
start off this week thinking Charlotte's gonna
win, but I was like, no,

808
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:37.119
she's not gonna break her dad's record
at fast Lane, and then I

809
00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:39.639
was with EO, and then I
was also with Oscar. So it's really

810
00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:44.400
hard because I like EO, but
I think, to me, EO and

811
00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:47.039
Bailey is the more compelling path.
But Bailey kind of set this match up,

812
00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:51.239
so you need her to cost EO
the title. So I'm gonna take

813
00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:55.840
Oscar regaining this backdown win this championship. Oh interesting. Next match is john

814
00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:59.599
Seen in LA and I take it
on the blood Line Jimmy Usso and so

815
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:05.880
Lit's co Doctor Trey. Who do
you like this one? I just don't

816
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.519
see how you have l A Knight
and Johnson to lose this match because Roman's

817
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:13.119
not in it, and this also
sets up tension with Romans Solo and Jimmy

818
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.119
if you want to go that route. So I'll take uh, Sina Knight

819
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:19.280
Night, Sena Night moves that you
can't see me at night? Oh,

820
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:23.000
I like you can't see night.
Yeah, I'm gonna take Johnson and l

821
00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:28.159
A Knight as well. Uh.
And then Seth Freaking Rollands takes on Shin

822
00:55:28.239 --> 00:55:31.599
to say knock amore in a last
man standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

823
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:36.480
I've got Seth Freaking Rowlands retaining this
one. Doctor try yeah, over

824
00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:40.440
under on octopus holds or abdominal stretches
in this match, over under on those,

825
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.440
I will say at what, like, what are you making the mark?

826
00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:46.559
Or do you want me to make
the mark? I'll set it at

827
00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:49.880
two. Okay, I was gonna
say two and a half, So I'll

828
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:52.880
take the over. Okay, I'm
gonna take the under on this one just

829
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:55.880
because of the tie into a.
Ok because Dear, with the back injury,

830
00:55:55.960 --> 00:55:59.880
you think, yeah, I think
you'll get one good one, but

831
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:05.079
I think you may get more backstabbage
of this mass abdominal stretches. I don't

832
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:07.239
know. I don't know if I
don't know if WW still likes to do

833
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:10.280
abdominal stretches anymore. I don't know
that that was. I saw more abdominal

834
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:15.079
stretches in one show at Wressell Dream
that I think I had seen in the

835
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:21.039
entire year of professional wrestling prior.
So they should just call it Wressell Octopus

836
00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:28.039
stretch Octopus Abdominal Dreams, Abdominal Dreams. Yes, I like that better.

837
00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:30.880
So we both have taken Seth frank
and ronalds on this one. Yeah,

838
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:34.000
taking Seth as well. All right, there you go, WWE fascinating.

839
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.079
We will recap and review it on
next week's edition of sr TU. Would

840
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:39.199
that said, let's get a couple
