00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:46.240

I? All in? And I'm
not in. I'm not in a rush,

8
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.880
I'm not in a hurry, I'm
not in any kind of jelly or

9
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.159
jam and I'm and I'm not in
England, So I guess I'm kind of

10
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.799
in kind of in. That could
be the next the follow up to all

11
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.280
in or all out, just so
you do all in all out and then

12
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.120
another week later you do kind of
in. How about that? Well,

13
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.920
I think I think you do all
in all out. Then you do shake

14
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:17.599
it all about and then the follow
up that is aw hokey poke Okay,

15
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.359
yeah, just four back to back
to back pay per views like that?

16
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.480
Actually a hokey pokey sounds like maybe
an impact pay per view. Okay,

17
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.159
yeah, they do a little bit
more like hardcore wrestling for hokey pokey,

18
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.840
I mean, but then again,
w to do Great Balls of Fire so

19
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.959
you might see WW hokey pokey.
All right, we have to reset the

20
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.000
clock now it has been now the
record was twenty eight days since we last

21
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.359
reference Great Balls of Fire. Now
we're back down to zero. So for

22
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.120
a throwaway podcast, and like July
or excuse pay per view in July twenty

23
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.040
eighteen, we do reference that show
quite often. Do you remember what the

24
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:04.920
main event was for that show?
Was it Joe and Brock, Joe and

25
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.759
Braun? I believe Braun. Okay, yeah, let me make sure I

26
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:14.159
got that right. I know it
involved large men flapping meat at Great Balls

27
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.520
of Fire? Was that how he
teased it? Braun? I don't know,

28
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.319
but I just took the big E
reference and ran with it right there

29
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.000
because it made a lot of sense
and the pun was intentional. July twenty

30
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.240
seventeen. And I believe you're right. It was Brock and Samoa. Joe

31
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.000
was the headline. I was Ron
and Braun. It was Braun versus Roman

32
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:35.639
in an ambulance match that Braun Stroman
actually defeated Roman in and then I think

33
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.639
we came back and they did Joe
Braun and Brock. They did some kind

34
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.560
of three way or four way of
those guys too, either right before that

35
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.879
paper view, were right after that
paper view. Next paper view was battle

36
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.840
Ground. Let's see here. Battle
Ground was headlined by Gender Mahal defeating Randy

37
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.639
Orton in a Punjabi prison match.
That was the next show. July two

38
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.599
was a SmackDown branded show. Yeah, okay, that's right, brace Split

39
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:06.919
yeah yeah yeah yeah. So then
wait, so then I'm looking at next

40
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.960
show would have been Summer Slammer Slam. You may be right on that one.

41
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.080
Yep, brocka go ahead. That
curs w. We had a match

42
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.159
where it's like three large men fighting
each other, which was like a basic

43
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:25.960
man you know dream Brock versus Braun
versus Roman versus Samoa Joe at Summer Slam

44
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.599
twenty seventeen. All right, I
was in the ballpark. I forgot Romans

45
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.000
considered a big man compared to Joe, Braun and Brock. Good memory,

46
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.120
Good memory there, Doctor Trey so
Brock and Samoa Joe was one of headlined

47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.599
that Great Balls of Fire paper viewer
reset. I think Great Balls of fire

48
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:46.599
referenced clock here on SRTU have a
Little Fun Too to kick off the show.

49
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.639
But unfortunately, a couple of hours
ago, we did receive news that

50
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.639
w WE Hall of Famer Terry Funk
had passed away. I mean, one

51
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:05.199
of the most influential wrestlers I feel
like of all time, doctor Trey.

52
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:13.599
I mean, he was a regular
professional wrestler that dabbled into brawling, that

53
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.040
dabbled into hardcore wrestling, revitalized his
career at several points. Really is one

54
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.319
of the reasons why ECW got so
big in the late nineties was the inclusion

55
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:31.040
of Terry Funk. Truly, truly, truly a one of a kind talent.

56
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.120
I mean, very sad news tonight
do Tray Too to kick off the

57
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.199
show here, as we learned that
Terry Funk had passed away. Sadly,

58
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.120
Yeah, I heard about it on
my drive in from Tennessee today to get

59
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.839
back home, and it wasn't surprising. The last pictures we saw Terry,

60
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.480
he wasn't in great shape. And
you know, like I'm for being a

61
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.279
wrestling fan for forty years, I
didn't get into Terry Funk, and really

62
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.639
the appreciation of Terry Funk until much
later in his career. Like my first

63
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.560
memory of Terry Funk is the back
to back matches he had with Rick Flair

64
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.439
at WCW when they brought him in
as a basically a play by play guy,

65
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.839
and then he attacked Flair after the
Steamboat trilogy. Pile drove up to

66
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.560
the table and I was like,
ooh, I hate that guy. And

67
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.279
then my dad is the one who
taught, you know, told me more

68
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:27.160
about Terry Funk. We saw him
in Roadhouse and then ECW launch and I

69
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.360
learned more about him. And then
you know, you're just like, oh

70
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.120
my god, Like this guy's influenced
with me people, and you know,

71
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.240
kind of a technical wrestler and then
a brawler. And then you know,

72
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.639
we saw this stuff in ECW and
this stuff, you know, started catching

73
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.240
the videos of stuff with him and
Captain's Jack and Japan, and then you're

74
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.279
like wow, and then you know
the attitude are he reinventing himself again and

75
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.680
putting on panty hose and then all
the way through now like the man is

76
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.959
legitimately that there will never be another
guy like Terry Funk. I mean,

77
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.519
the man, the man was Middle
Asian crazy, for fifty years, So

78
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.360
I mean, I mean, I
don't know about you. The closest thing

79
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.319
we have to a Terry Funk right
now is maybe a John Moxley. But

80
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:13.360
you know, his influence throughout wrestling, whether it was the Texas guys or

81
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.920
you know, the Fucking Nojo or
the hardcore wrestlers, their deathmatch wrestlers,

82
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.759
or the gimmick wrestlers. Like,
his influence spans so many styles of wrestling

83
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.600
that it's really really incredible to see
how much I don't say paved the way

84
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.279
for guys, but like really just
opened doors and open up eyes to different

85
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:39.480
styles of wrestling. So just one
of the most well rounded wrestlers in the

86
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.959
history of our business. So from
a personal standpoint, I had the absolute

87
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.720
pleasure and honor to interview Terry Funk
about thirteen years ago. When I heard

88
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.399
the news, I immediately thought of
that interview and everything that led up to

89
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.160
it. So at that period of
time, I was on this podcast called

90
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:06.639
The Wheelhouse with Mike Bower and Chris
Cause and we've made available this podcast as

91
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.759
well, which I'll get to.
And we had a fantastic relationship with Ring

92
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.759
of Honor Wrestling with Kerry Silkin when
he owned the company. I was going

93
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.639
to like every New York City show
in two thousand and nine, twenty ten,

94
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:23.360
and then into two thousand and eleven
before they sold to Sinclair Broadcast Group.

95
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.680
So for every one of their shows
in New York, they would always

96
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:32.199
be so kind to give us some
sort of wrestler to interview, and I

97
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:42.639
would interview Claude Doocasticnolie, at one
point interviewed Roderick Strong. Had this opportunity

98
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.480
time and time again, and then
we were pitched the opportunity to interview Terry

99
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:53.560
Funk, who for Glory by Honor
I believe it was nine in two thousand

100
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:58.959
ten, he was acting as the
special enforcer outside the ring for the Tyler

101
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.399
Black rogeris Wrong match for the ROH
World Championship. Tyler Black now known as

102
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.800
Seth Rons. It was his last
match of ring Vroon and Wrestling before going

103
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.480
to WW and Terry Funk was involved. So we had the opportunity to interview

104
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:16.879
Terry Funk to promote the show and
leading into it, like Roh gave me

105
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.839
his home phone number and him and
I played phone tag and it was on

106
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.120
my old phone. I wish I
still had it, but Terry Funk like

107
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:30.360
leaves me this voicemail and it was
like him asking his wife, like,

108
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.919
you know, do I leave a
message. It was like listening to this

109
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.759
elderly man who wasn't up on technology
but was also a wrestling legend, like

110
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:48.600
leave this very funny, like grandpa
esque voicemail on my phone. And it

111
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.480
was so cool. And then we
led into interviewing him days later. That

112
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:01.240
day later, and it was one
of the first real big interviews we ever

113
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.480
had on our podcast, and it
was Terry Funk, and I think we

114
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.080
talked to him for like thirty to
forty five minutes. And to make a

115
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.519
long story short, we we we
actually interviewed him on August twenty fourth,

116
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.159
twenty ten, nearly thirteen years the
day where he passes away ago, which

117
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.639
is insane that it was a raid
around this time as well, and the

118
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.720
day that this podcast drops is on
August twenty four, twenty twenty three,

119
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.679
thirteen years later. That we've made
this podcast available. Right now, it's

120
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.240
up on realgutrader dot com. By
the time that this podcast drops, it

121
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.399
should be up on our subscription feeds, up on iTunes and everywhere else,

122
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.600
and I encourage everybody to listen to
it. Obviously it's a bit dated.

123
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.039
You'll hear us be talking about stuff
that was going on woe at the time,

124
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.600
but it was so cool to talk
to Terry Funk about his career.

125
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:56.279
It's it's a broadcasting highlight doc tray, and it was like the first real

126
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.159
instance that I got to interview somebody
that like I knew and it wasn't some

127
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.960
sort of blogger or anything like that
that we were doing at the time.

128
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.679
It was Terry freaking Funk, who
was a deb WE Hall of Famer,

129
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.000
a wrestling legend, and it was
such an honor to speak with him,

130
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.240
and I had that honor and I'll
remember it forever and I'm looking forward to

131
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.440
listening back to that podcast. I
immediately went back and I found an article

132
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.519
that quoted our show, so that
I went back into my old archives,

133
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.720
got the podcast center over to Bauer. Bauer put it up on the website

134
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.559
and has made it available for download, So it's gonna be a lot of

135
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.799
fun to go back and listen to
that. And again, I just it

136
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.559
was an honor, it was an
honored privilege to talk to him and I'm

137
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.960
very sad and about the news today. But the career in the life of

138
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.279
Terry Funk was was one of a
one in a million doctor Trey. He

139
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:52.440
was a one in a million person. Yeah, I mean it's amazing me

140
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.840
because you know, we talked about, you know, we spent a lot

141
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.519
of time over the past few years
talking about the bloodline, the usos,

142
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.000
you know, other family or blood
you know relations, and a lot of

143
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.600
those guys are very very similar in
their styles. And then you look at

144
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:13.279
Terry Funk and Dory Funk Junior as
professional wrestlers in the early days, they

145
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.320
were very similar. But you know, the path that Terry went down was

146
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:24.240
so different from his older brother,
I mean just two almost completely polar opposite

147
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.559
personalities and everything else. And you
know, by all accounts, like I've

148
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.000
had an outpouring of people from you
know, the independent scene here in Tennessee

149
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.720
talking about like appearances Terry made and
you know what a great guy was.

150
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.840
Actually one of my one of my
friends that was in wrestling before I got

151
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.440
in in Arkansas was telling the story
about how he had worked a show and

152
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.600
then had to drive straight from the
show to the airport to pick Terry Funk

153
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:54.720
up and he was still basically in
his wrestling gear and you know, throwing

154
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.279
a pair of shorts and a T
shirt over, like one of his own,

155
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.759
like you know, T shirts from
his merchable. It gets to the

156
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.559
airport, he's all stressed out because
it's Terry freaking Funk. He gets there

157
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.039
for realizes Funk's plane got in five
minutes earlier than schedules, so he's stressing

158
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.840
that Terry Funk's been waiting on this
young independent wrestler. And he walks,

159
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.200
you know, he walks in,
looks around, he sees Terry Funk,

160
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.720
and he goes he didn't have to
call out to him, like Terry just

161
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.799
looked at him. That's a wrestler. He just walks right up to him,

162
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.519
introduced himself. They got in the
car, and then a two hour

163
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.200
drive from the Little Rock Airport or
a Little Rock Airport to Batesville, Arkansas.

164
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.399
He's like the highlight was literally him
just talking to Terry Funk the entire

165
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.159
time. And he was supposed to
be in a tag match with him and

166
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:46.039
Terry against Brian Christopher and Rakishi and
Rikishi no showed or not no, but

167
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.879
just couldn't make it, and they
moved Terry Funk to be in the special

168
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.159
guest referee. He's like, that's
just one of those memories I will never

169
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.320
ever forget, just because of how
gracious and how willing he was to do

170
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.200
whatever the promo her ass And that's
one of those little life lessons as a

171
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.480
young wrestler. He took away from
it was, Hey, you're never too

172
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:11.519
big for this sport. And I
think he's always he always retained that it

173
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.320
was appreciative to everybody came in contact, whether they were you know, top

174
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.639
of the car main event and one
of the major promotions, or you know,

175
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.759
a green guy in his second year
of wrestling. He's just you know,

176
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:24.600
like we've talked about years ago with
Tracy's mothers, he's just one of

177
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:30.240
those guys that just seems universally loved
and revered across the board about you know,

178
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.799
with everybody who came in contact with
him. Yeah, that's such a

179
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:37.039
cool story. He was such a
nice guy and just my very small interactions

180
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.840
with him, and he didn't need
to be I mean, he's he's a

181
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.480
living legend. And it was like, listened back to the podcast that we

182
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.639
made available. It's like talking to
an old friend that's talking about his career.

183
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.240
Talking to him on the phone when
we were setting up the interview was

184
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.159
he could not have been more nice, you know, and it was just

185
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.840
it was just a really cool experience
and it's one that I'll never forget.

186
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.080
I mean, it was legit,
like the It was the first big name

187
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.919
I ever interviewed in my entire broadcasting
career. And I'm so happy I found

188
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.399
the podcast to make available and pay
tribute to Terry Funk, who sadly passed

189
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.200
away today. It's a it's a
sad day, but we remember an honor

190
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.159
the life and career of one Terry
Funk, because I mean, things would

191
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.240
not be where they were today if
it wasn't for Terry Funk, his battles

192
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:35.559
with Rick Flair, the way that
he helped carry ec W forward, just

193
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:43.240
being always a wrestler's wrestler. He's
one of a kind and we'll be missed

194
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.720
and we send our condolences to all
the family, friends, and of course

195
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:54.559
fans of Terry Funk and his passing
today. Rest in peace, Terry Funk.

196
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.519
There's no easy way to transition out
of paying tribute to a legend other

197
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:07.480
than talking about a legend whose potential
WWW career ended. This past Friday on

198
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.480
SmackDown, Edge in a match with
Shaymiss to celebrate twenty five years in the

199
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:20.320
WWW in his hometown of Toronto,
Ontario, Canada. His contract is expiring

200
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.600
soon. We don't know if he's
gonna stick with w he says he doesn't

201
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.399
know. We don't know if he's
going to completely retire, if he's going

202
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.879
to go somewhere else, to a
or like an AW. Well, we

203
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:37.200
might have gotten some lightshd on the
story today as PW Torch is reporting the

204
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.240
following and this comes straight from their
article stating Edge wrestled his last match on

205
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.840
his current w WE contract on Friday. His contract expires, according to Edge

206
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.120
on the Fan Morning Show at the
end of September. It's not known if

207
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.080
he has any non compete period afterward, but there's a lot of buzz that

208
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.840
he is a W bound. PW
Torch has learned that Adam Copeland aka Edge,

209
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.600
presented to w W what would take
to retain his services, but WWW

210
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:06.600
declined to meet his requests. This
is sparked to believe within WW that he's

211
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.519
probably headed at AW and new at
the time what AW could offer him,

212
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.399
based perhaps on conversations with other wrestlers
of a star power about AWPA. Tony

213
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.879
Khn is a big fan of Edge, it certainly would value adding him to

214
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:19.840
the roster, either as a wrestler
or in some other role. Also,

215
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.919
Christian Cage is a longtime friend of
Copeland and is prominently featured on AW television,

216
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.879
so linking it together in some way
on TV would be natural. Edge

217
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:33.000
received the big celebration of his w
here on Friday SmackDown because he's well liked

218
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.639
within WWE management doesn't resent the possibility
to go to a w and that's what

219
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:47.600
PW Torch had reported today Wednesday,
August twenty three, as we record on

220
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.639
Wednesday night while AW Dynamite is airing. So lots of speculation here Doctor Trey

221
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.919
that Adam Copeland Edge could be AW
bound prior to him returning in twenty twenty.

222
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.399
I believe in late two and nineteen
he was approached by Tony conn and

223
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.400
AW. He never just come out
fully and said that, but he basically

224
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.039
alludes to. I believe there was
like a W twenty four on Edges return,

225
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.480
and that's what led to him going
to he was made an offer and

226
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.440
he went to w w WE and
said, well, you know, I

227
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:22.799
owe it to them. Let me
see if if they'll match it and bring

228
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.519
me back as a professional wrestler.
W WE didn't match it, brought him

229
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.200
back, and then obviously the rest
is history because he's been with the companies

230
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:33.440
since two thy twenty, returning out
to the Royal Rumble in January twenty and

231
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.960
twenty, and here he is now
potentially on his way out of WWE,

232
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.599
possibly had an AW Doctor Trey,
how do you how do you take all

233
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.519
in all this news here? Do
you think we last we watched Edges last

234
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:52.640
match in w WE? Uh,
I'm gonna say yes. And that's that's

235
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.039
what he cut with the cava that
the wrestlers are wrestlers, and and you

236
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.119
know, guys like Edge and Christian
and you other guys have been rather as

237
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.599
a long time ago how to use
leverage when an issue. But you know,

238
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.960
when you when you look at the
AW schedule and you look at basically

239
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:12.359
guaranteed pay and you look at you
know, not only is one of his

240
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:17.119
best friends there, but he also
has history with Don Callis as well.

241
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.559
You know it does make a lot
of sense for him to you know,

242
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.240
make a move and go over there. And you know, if he presented

243
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.799
an offer WB and they declined to
meet those demands, I think they kind

244
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.160
of know that that, you know, the possibilities there. So uh,

245
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.799
right now, I'm gonna say,
yeah, that was probably his last match

246
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.039
in WWE, because if he does
go to a w I just don't think

247
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.480
by the time that contract would be
up that he would. I just don't

248
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.599
see Adam Copeland being that, you
know, I don't I don't see him

249
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:52.359
being staying and wrestling at sixty.
So you know, for a guy in

250
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.160
his early fifties, that this might
be a chance for him to go out

251
00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:00.319
there help some younger guys and you
know, potentially get another edge Christian argue

252
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.359
boy matchup, edge Christian young buck
matchup, things like that. I that

253
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:10.279
seems like really fun, you know, matches for you know, Adam Coplan

254
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.920
to get involved with and really wind
his career down doing some fun stuff like

255
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:17.359
that with guys he's probably never wouldn't
have the chance to work with. If

256
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.039
he stays in WWE. Where would
you prefer to see Himenda Square? Would

257
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.240
you prefer to see Himenda Square in
ww or in AW. I mean I

258
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.559
prefer see WWE because I just don't
know what the name Adam you know,

259
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:33.279
you know, coming from Toronto,
Kata Adam Copeland has the same ring to

260
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.920
it as Edge, you know.
But I mean obviously most of these guys,

261
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.319
like the lifers, like Edge has
basically been a lifer, like he

262
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.119
really after he first on the senor
ww he's never been anywhere else, And

263
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.000
so those guys when they go to
other promotions, it just feels odd.

264
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:55.119
Like I still can't wrap my head
around Bret Hart wc W. Like it

265
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.079
doesn't you go back and watch those
old videos. It doesn't look right.

266
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.599
Can you wrap your head around staying
to would be? Wait? No,

267
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.079
Like it just doesn't look right,
you know, it's weird, like and

268
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:10.039
it may be the way that I'm
but use the phrase it's the light I've

269
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.799
always seen them in, but it
is the production lighting and like how they

270
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:18.279
look like it just looks off,
you know. So yeah, I mean

271
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.200
I almost forget this thing. I
mean we've talked about the show, but

272
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.720
I almost forget this thing was in
WWB because it was kind of like that

273
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.039
year long cup of coffee. So
to speak, it's kind of the same

274
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.839
thing with you know, like I
said Brett Hart WCW, it took me

275
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.440
a long time to get you seeing
Hulk Hogan in WCW when he jumps over

276
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.720
there, or Rick Flair when he
first came to w W E. You

277
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.200
know, like Macho Man in w
W two was weird. It kind of

278
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.200
took them to actually change their entire
look. Like when Hogan went to Hollywood

279
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.319
Macho Man star doing the black and
white stuff. I'm like, all right,

280
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.359
that seems like a different character.
I can kind of see that separately

281
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.240
from the red and yellows. But
then even when Hogan came to w E

282
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.799
as nWo Hollywood, I'm like,
that doesn't look right. It's just it

283
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.599
always seems kind of living off for
a while. So you know, it's

284
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.839
like, you know, seeing your
favorite baseball player or NFL player. It's

285
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.920
like Jet, You're gonna go through
this year, Aaron Rodgers as a jet,

286
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.440
Yeah, you know, Brett Farve
as a jet. You know,

287
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.680
me seeing Joe Montana as a chief
or Jerry Rice as a raider like it,

288
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.960
or Trey Lance is the third string
quarterback. No that I'm okay with,

289
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.079
But it's just you see these things. You're like that it just doesn't

290
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.960
make sense. And it's Smith as
a cardinal, Like you're just like,

291
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.400
it's almost it's almost don't want to
say it's sad, but it is kind

292
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.960
of like a little bit of a
disappointment at time when you Bronco he got

293
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.640
a Super Bowl though, so like
he did Tom Brady as a Buck.

294
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:47.240
Yeah, but you know, it's
just it's just things you see. You're

295
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.200
like, that's odd, especially when
you first see now when you got to

296
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.680
Brady year three as a Buck,
you're like, all right, yeah,

297
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.640
I'm kind of used to it now. But wrestling is a different a different

298
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.119
animal a lot of ways. Like
you see you guys, like I mean,

299
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.200
seeing Moxley in AW the first time, you're like, whoa, that's

300
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.759
kind of odd. Now that he's
been there for three years, say with

301
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.920
Chris Jericho, the first time you
see, you're like, that's kind of

302
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.960
weird looking, and then now you're
like, all right, it makes sense.

303
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:14.319
Cody, when he came back to
WWE with the AW gimmick, it's

304
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.799
like, it's cool, but it
takes a little while for your brain to

305
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.880
process it and make it normal.
I guess yeah. It's it's We're so

306
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.200
used to it in wrestling, but
I just feel like there are times where,

307
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.759
especially towards the later end of the
career, it's funny you bring up

308
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:34.200
Jericho, like Jericho in AW it's
it's been forty years now and he's a

309
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.400
main staying AW a former AW World
Champion. But there is a huge part

310
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:41.640
of me, as a Chris Jericho
fan that wants to see one last match

311
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.519
in WWW, like that's where I
believe his career should end. And I

312
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:52.359
don't think that will ever happen now. I don't forever foresee Chris Jericho leaving

313
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:59.160
AW and going to w W because
the allure of joining a company that is

314
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:03.519
a little bit more lax than the
grind of WWE is what's a very which

315
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.079
is very appealing to wrestlers, and
that, to me, is is why

316
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.799
potentially Edge is making that jump.
And I think edgees is making that jump

317
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:18.160
because there's more or potentially making that
jump because there's more opportunities for him that

318
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.920
he would like to accomplish to close
out his career. I mean, you're

319
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.799
you're talking about tagging with Christian again. I didn't I don't think Christian is

320
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.119
going to come to Towe anytime,
seeing the Hardys are both in AW.

321
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.400
If they want to have a Edging
Christian Hardy's match, that's going to have

322
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.680
to happen in AW now, Edging
Christian versus FTR, Edging Christian versus the

323
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:45.200
Young Bucks, Edge Wrestling in New
Japan, Edge Wrestling, MJF Adam Cole,

324
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.200
whoever see him punk again, will
Losspray, whoever Kenny Omega like?

325
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:56.559
There just seems to be more opportunities
in AW for a professional wrestler than there

326
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:03.440
is in WWE. Like w E
is the global corporate conglomerate that it has

327
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.319
WrestleMania, SummerSlam, the stadium shows. But if you're a wrestler who's accomplished

328
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:12.920
all that and your itches to wrestle
some of your friends and accomplish some dream

329
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:18.400
scenarios like look at the path that
Brian Danielson took by leaving WWE, AW

330
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.680
is more appealing. So it's a
tough pill to swallow because to me,

331
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.519
again, Edge should finish his career
in w WA. There should not be

332
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.319
a period of time where Edge had
left w to go wrestle in AW.

333
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:36.440
In my opinion, as a fan, it just seems perfect that he is

334
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.160
with the WE family and that's where
he finished his career. Some people are

335
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:45.119
w WE guys, some people are
AW guys, And I just feel like

336
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.680
at this part important his career,
I don't I don't want to see him

337
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.960
go to a W Obviously we'll get
used to it, but it's a it's

338
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:53.559
a tough pill to swallow as an
EDGE fan, because, you know,

339
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:59.400
do we want to run where he's
recognized as Adam Copeland? Does he work

340
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.880
out something with w W where he
could use the name Edge? Is he

341
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.240
the Edge? Is he like something
stupid like Edge Copeland? You know I

342
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:18.200
would what's that? Adah Adam Edge? Like? I don't know. I

343
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.400
got the feeling that his career was
ending this past Friday on SmackDown, not

344
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.759
potentially continuing in AW. But this
report is seems pretty like a fore gone

345
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.920
conclusion to me that in two three
months from now we have Edge in AW.

346
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.279
There's a lot of dream match scenarios
that we'll see play out. It's

347
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.759
just a matter of do we want
to see it play out at this point

348
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.160
in his career, Like, this
is not an Adam Cole jumping from w

349
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.839
e too. You know a w
this is a guy who only has a

350
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.839
couple more years left under his belt. And where do we want to see

351
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.640
that final match take place? Is
my thing? And I think for a

352
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:56.519
guy like Edge, it should happen
in w W. A yeah, I

353
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:57.920
agree with that then, And then
I thought as you were talking, I

354
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.720
thought about the concept and a couple
of things though. One is if if

355
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.480
he does go to WWE, does
that mean that when Beth's contracts up,

356
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.680
she might make appearances in a AW
and then we might get Beth and Brett

357
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.759
Baker or Beth and Edge against Adam
Colin Brett Baker, Like there's there are

358
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.720
some dream matches for Beth Phoenix in
AW as well if she decided to go

359
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.759
that path of good thing. And
this is a topic for our show maybe

360
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.079
on a on a week or we're
a little bit slower. We don't have

361
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.119
like a five hour pay per view
coming up, but a couple of those

362
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.519
coming up. Now. Yeah,
when when you talk about guys making that

363
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.799
jump, these guys and they're older, stay just making that jump to AW.

364
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:40.119
And we've had this conversation on the
show about has AW ever built you

365
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:44.359
know, has a TOW built up. Any homegrown stars outside of baby MJF

366
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:49.279
that are over with the crowd,
maybe a yeah, But is it you

367
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.359
know, for the law of the
I mean, those were guys that were

368
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.400
like kind of on that pillar thing
when they moved over. But you look

369
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.240
at, you know, some of
the other guys that are maybe a little

370
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:02.880
bit lower, you know, a
private party, are they really over to

371
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.160
the other guys that they've brought in. But those guys who are over,

372
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:07.720
they can go anywhere they want to
and they're gonna get a crowded reaction.

373
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.680
So the allure of AW when you're
already over and don't have to work as

374
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.720
hard, is really compelling. But
if you're a younger guy and you're still

375
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:22.079
trying to establish yourself, maybe going
to NXC is the right route because they

376
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:25.119
can kind of teach you how to
get over, maybe better than what aw's

377
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.720
done. I look at a guy
like Brian Pillman Jr. Who's making that

378
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.920
jump over to WW here the next
month or so, we'll see him in

379
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:36.039
NXC. But some of those guys
that are younger and got that contract,

380
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.839
having established themselves, and if you're
not getting over on AW, are you

381
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.359
average you're gonna be able to get
over anywhere else. Interesting point. Yeah,

382
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.359
so we'll see here Edge possibly wrestling
his last WE match in his career

383
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:56.000
and could very well be on his
way to All Elite Wrestling. Speaking of

384
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.720
AW doctor Trey, we will pre
if you predict aw all In here in

385
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.799
momententarily, but let's talk about it
before we get into the show itself.

386
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.519
How important is this AW all In
show for the future of the promotion and

387
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:14.400
this Sunday over eighty thousand people Wembley
Stadium, London, England, they revived

388
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.680
the all In brand for All Elite
Wrestling. Will be the first time that

389
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.920
AWS ran an all in show and
they're doing it. They're promoting it as

390
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:26.880
the biggest wrestling crowd in history.
I know they are approaching the WRESTLEMANE thirty

391
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.240
two record, which was over I
believe eighty two eighty three thousand. So

392
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.720
it's very well possible little week from
now that this show has surpassed that and

393
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:41.920
will be recognized from an attendance standpoint. Sorry wrestlemany three that it was the

394
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.160
biggest wrestling show attended in history,
which is kind of a surprise because up

395
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:51.240
until the last couple of months,
Aw's creative has not been that great,

396
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.880
so it is the allud just to
create history and be there for the first

397
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.960
debut show over in London, England. They've been good as of late,

398
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.720
but sometimes when you look at the
card, people are like, I don't

399
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:06.799
know about this doing back to back
shows as well. There's been a lot

400
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:08.880
of back and forth about that.
But nonetheless, taking a step back from

401
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:14.839
all that again, I asked the
question, how important is all in this

402
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.000
Sunday for the future of the promotion? By the way, I think it

403
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:19.519
was named another pay per view for
them. They could do all in,

404
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.400
all out and then all that there
you go. Okay, a little nod

405
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:29.000
to the Nickelodeon show, Yes exactly, But I think those shows really really

406
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.039
important to them. And I don't
want to say it's like a turning point

407
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.599
or a fork in the runners like
that, But when you're gonna have this

408
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:41.400
many eyes on your product and you're
going out there, you're saying, hey,

409
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.160
this is gonna be the largest wrestling
crowd in the history of wrestling,

410
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:51.039
You're gonna get some mainstream attention from
that as well, and so from that

411
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.160
alone, you want to make sure
you're on point. I mean, if

412
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:59.880
we have you know, production gaps
or pyro gaps or things like that,

413
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.880
it's going to be even more magnified
on this stage where you know, you're

414
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.039
casual. Like the one thing we
talked about, you have to get the

415
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.599
eyes of the casual wrestling fans on
your product in order to grow. You

416
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.160
can't just stay tied into the diehards. Here's your chance to grab some those

417
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.240
casual fans because they're gonna hear about
on ESPN, they're gonna hear about on

418
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:27.240
CBS Sports, they're gonna hear about
different outlets that about how big this show

419
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:33.759
is and everything else. If you
have a pyro incident like you have with

420
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:36.400
you know, the barbed wire match, or you know any of these other

421
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.720
like weird things that have happened,
and we just go, oh, like

422
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:42.599
we just kind of grow because grown, because it's a growing pain. On

423
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.720
this stage, it's gonna get magnified
even bigger. So it's an opportunity for

424
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.920
them to grab some more casual fans
and bring to their product. But at

425
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.359
the same time, you just don't
want those huge mistakes that make you look

426
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.880
like a minor league team playing a
major League stadium, so you's got to

427
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.920
be mindful of that as well.
Looking at the overall card right now,

428
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.960
touch train and I know you don't
have at top of mind right now.

429
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:14.319
We'll run through it here momentarily.
But there is a lot of social media

430
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.119
chatter that the build for this show
has been lackluster. I mean, AW

431
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:23.000
is right and rightfully so ramping this
up in a huge way as a massive

432
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.880
turning point for the promotion, And
there is a lot writing on this Sunday

433
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:32.559
show, and rightfully so, like
I'm very happy for AW to accomplish what

434
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.559
they have and all wrestling fans should
be voting for rooting for that as well.

435
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:38.920
The tribalism of being like that I
hope they fail and all that shit,

436
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:42.839
it's just ridiculous, because this is
good for wrestling. That a promotion

437
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:48.039
not named WWE is able to get
over eighty thousand people in a stadium in

438
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.200
a country that they have never been
to before. This is a huge accomplishment

439
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.839
and the success of the show is
tenfold important for the future of the AW

440
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:01.720
promotion because this could be the end
of the first chapter of a w and

441
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.160
taking it to the next chapter and
helping it get closer and closer to a

442
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.039
you know, a one B or
one A. However, you want to

443
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:15.119
look at it as an equal to
a WE in the eyes of everybody around

444
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:21.359
the world, rather than a quote
secondary promotion. Nonetheless, the card has

445
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.680
been chastised in a way. What
do you think of the build? What

446
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.200
did you think of the build?
What do you think of the formation of

447
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:32.119
it? Are you getting what you
want to see this Sunday during this historic

448
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:37.920
show. I mean I'm getting some
of what I want. I mean,

449
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:42.720
MJF Adam Cole on papers a match, I would want to see the build

450
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:49.720
for this match in this setting I
think is different. I mean, usually,

451
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.039
if I'm heading into a show where
I know we're going to put sixty

452
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:58.039
seventy thousand people in the stadium,
whether it's a Wrestlingmania, Summer Slam,

453
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:01.839
something like that, you know something
this magnitude, I want that main event

454
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:06.400
to feel like it's going to be
a fight. I want that. I

455
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.359
want those casual fans. I want
those people that, for lack of a

456
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:15.279
better term, think it's still real
to them. I want them to buy

457
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.079
into the animosity and this is kind
of like that they've done the whole friendship

458
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.799
angle leading into this match, and
I'm like, okay, so we're playing

459
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:28.319
the competitive friend angle instead of the
animals angle. So that makes me a

460
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.119
look at Leary, you look at
the Stadium Stampede match, like those are

461
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:38.039
fun matches and enjoyable, but you
know, would I rather see you know,

462
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.680
Omega and Orho. I rather see
you know, a singles match or

463
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:49.359
a tag match with animosity and anger
and victual build to it. So to

464
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:52.279
me, something like this, some
of these matches had a one week build

465
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.880
or a two week build, and
they've never really gone face to face with

466
00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:02.160
stuff like it's not it feels like, for lack of a better term,

467
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:08.000
like when a kid tries on his
daddy's shoes. It's huge and it's fun,

468
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:13.039
but it's not the same as when
dad puts his shoes on and goes

469
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:16.800
to work, and it almost feels
like it's the indie show trying to be

470
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:22.639
WWE in the presentation, but the
build is not on the level of what

471
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.559
we get to for a SummerSlam or
Amania or a Rumble for that matter.

472
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:31.159
So that's where I think the difference
is. I think that's where the backlash

473
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:35.400
has come from. Folks on the
build up to this, to this show.

474
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.039
Yeah, and I think maybe this
is a reflection of a promotion that

475
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.840
is not used to this opportunity,
doctor Try. I mean, it's that

476
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:45.519
fair to say that, Like they're
there. They don't have the record of

477
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:52.199
being able to build towards massive stadium
shows like this like WWE has with Wrestlemanian

478
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:58.960
SummerSlam, and you're kind of seeing
that newer promotion, you know, less

479
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.199
than five years. I think that's
a fantastic points something I have not thought

480
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:06.599
about until you said it as the
reason why the build for a show like

481
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.800
this has not been up to snub
to the level of promotion that AW is

482
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:15.000
giving it. Yeah. I mean
and once again, like you and I

483
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.880
after this show, like when you
look at the AW calendar, what is

484
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:23.039
their big build to show every year? Yeah? Is it all out?

485
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.400
Is it's you know, one of
the other one, Like is it?

486
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.280
What's what are you building towards?
I mean you look at WWB, they

487
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:36.000
were always building towards SummerSlam. Stark
I mean w W E or WCW NWA

488
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.840
for years. There's always buildings.
A stark impact is bound for Glory Ring

489
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:45.159
of honor final Battle, you know, or you know, like we always

490
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.639
had penultimate shows that you were building
towards. I don't think AW does that,

491
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:52.119
and I'll one hand it is I
don't want to say lack of experience,

492
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:57.199
but it is almost like a cocky
attitude, like, Hey, we're

493
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:00.599
gonna keep doing what we're always doing
because it's been working for us. But

494
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:06.559
this is a different setting than what
you're typically in and you've had I mean,

495
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:07.760
how long ago was the Women we
same show now? It's like four

496
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.079
months ago? Five months? Yeah, April? Yeah, So why have

497
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.880
you not been building now since April
to get to this? Like all storylines

498
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.760
lead to this show knowing you're gonna
have more eyes on the product than you

499
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:29.039
typically do. So it's almost either
inexperience or bravado that they really haven't changed

500
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.559
their modus operati leading into it.
And dear God, I just used a

501
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:36.679
lot of big words that so I
used ten ultimate most operatic, Jesus Christ,

502
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:38.239
what the hell's wrong with me today? And Doctor Trey's doing Mortal.

503
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:45.760
I feel like they went into this
show building didn't like they do any other

504
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:51.119
normal pay per view, and I
think that is where they were wrong.

505
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:57.519
In that sense. I have loved
the MJF Adam Cold storyline, Like I

506
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.599
think it has been a lot of
fun and enjoy to watch, and it's

507
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:05.440
gone in a direction I did not
think it was going to go and making

508
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.760
MJF a baby face, and I
think to this point that he is barring

509
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:14.039
a turn going to be a baby
face moving forward. So that was really

510
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:15.920
cool. But you think about that, I mean, that's the main event

511
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.840
match, and I'm very happy and
proud for those two guys, But you

512
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:23.599
asked yourself, It's like, was
that build and this match the one that

513
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:30.960
should be headlining all In? And
I don't know the direction of this build

514
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:35.440
for all In. Maybe this shouldn't
have been used for this type of show,

515
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:38.000
Maybe it should have been something bigger. I still say, and maybe

516
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.159
this is what's the hang up for
me, the fact that we're not getting

517
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.440
CM Punk and FTR versus Kenny Omegan
the Young Bucks in a main event at

518
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:50.280
all In. It's just very telling
about how bad the backstage Jerry is in

519
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:57.239
aw right now. Like the fact
that's not happening is like atrocious. I

520
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:00.800
mean that was the moneymaker. You
guys could not put your your differences are

521
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:08.440
that bad that you could not headline
this show, of all shows where people

522
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:15.280
want to see those two groups feud
because of the real life beef between them,

523
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:19.360
especially see them Punk in the elite. They couldn't come to do it

524
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.079
is like mind boggling to me.
Maybe that's where it's a personal hang up

525
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:24.679
for me. But I mean,
as I look at this card and we'll

526
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:30.000
preven predict it here, it just
doesn't I don't think it does it for

527
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.119
me? Doctor Try. I gotta
be honest. I wish there was some

528
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.599
better build for a lot of these
matches. Yeah, not to mention,

529
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:46.480
you could have done a WrestleMania rematch
on this show that actually had a little

530
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:51.199
bit of backstage anamossa. You could
have done Jericho and Punk yep. I

531
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:57.400
was just thinking that. And we
know after brawl Out that there was some

532
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.480
contention between Jericho and Punk and they've
said that they've kind of hashed that out.

533
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.639
But you could have done that.
You know, you look at the

534
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.239
stuff with what's his name talk,
I can't pronounce his name, Takashita,

535
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:15.760
Canosia, Takeshka, t Keshka,
are we doing it? Takeshka and Omega

536
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:21.400
at all at the show we are
where they're doing this sex man tag team

537
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:25.000
match, but once again, it's
not a singles match, and that was

538
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:28.960
one of the most brutal beat downs
we saw a few months back, and

539
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:31.920
they still haven't done a singles one
on one match to play off that.

540
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:36.880
But we're getting in this six man
It's like, guys, some of this

541
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:40.760
stuff is basic wrestling, Like like
you said, I love the MJF Adam

542
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.639
Cole storyline, I really do,
but this build up feels like you're building

543
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:52.039
to a secondary pay per view to
get the turn of one of these guys

544
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.400
on the other to then lead to
the bigger show. And that's one of

545
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.800
the things that means always done really
well is like, hey, if it's

546
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.960
a B show, hey we made
do a turn post match to then lead

547
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.199
to we just thought a Summer Slam
for crying out loud. We saw,

548
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:12.719
you know, Jay Usso turn on
Roman. They beat up as brother to

549
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:16.440
build a Summer Slam, and that's
how it's done. I mean, you

550
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:21.159
look at Russellmania like outside, I
mean, Roman Cody was not in that

551
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.880
same area of says, but look
you look at Sammy and Kevin against the

552
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:30.400
USO's like, you're building that contention
to pay off at your bigger events,

553
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:35.599
And I think that's one thing they
haven't done very well is lay out to

554
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:37.320
the fans, Hey, this is
our A show. These are our A

555
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:43.039
shows, these are our B shows
on pay per views, So that way,

556
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:46.960
you know what you're kind of getting
into. Like, I love that

557
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.400
their storytelling for the most part on
a lot of this stuff, it's been

558
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.320
great. But even FTR and the
Bucks, you and I talked about a

559
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:58.159
couple of weeks ago, like it's
a great matchup, this is the what

560
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.599
the rubber match or the second match, third match rubber matchup, But once

561
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:06.840
again, play back into this,
like, have some actual interactions between these

562
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:12.480
guys, have some back and forth, even if it is friendly competitive battle

563
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:15.639
between two the top tag teams in
the world, you know, have something

564
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.280
go back and forth other than just
like you know, a little bit of

565
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.079
appointing, a little bit of a
slight no like build up a little bit

566
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:25.800
of stuff in there to make me
feel like, hey, these guys have

567
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.039
a personal issue, not just a
competitive issue on who's the best tag team

568
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:35.079
in the world. Like just those
little subtle tweaks would be fine, but

569
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:39.519
we get a lot of like last
second booking for this show and some storylines

570
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:44.960
that are great, but maybe for
you know, a Fighter Fast or you

571
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.599
know one of the other pay per
views that you know are kind of down

572
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:51.280
down the pipe a little bit to
get to this. I mean, it's

573
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:53.559
just they have so many things they
could have done that would make sense.

574
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:59.119
I mean, you put Jericho and
Punk in Wembley Stadium. Hey, there's

575
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:01.719
your headliner. Well, so like
the diehard fans, yeah, Adam Cole,

576
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:06.119
MJF We're buying into. But those
casual fans, if they're like,

577
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.239
hey, we got Jericho and Punk, which is a WrestleMania rematch in Wembley

578
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:14.079
Stadium in front of ninety thousand people, and that was one of my favorite

579
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.280
WrestleMania matches because it's underrated because it
was so stiff and hard hitting with some

580
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:22.639
real life trauma behind it exactly,
you know, like pay that off,

581
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:24.880
bring that back up, and that
way you're still not that way, you

582
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.960
can still save Punk and Kenny Omega
for another show, and you and I

583
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.559
aren't complaining about it, because hey, we can look at that real life

584
00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:37.400
drama they had, plus their history, and I'm on board with that match,

585
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:42.920
and that's just to me, match
making, simple building one on one,

586
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:45.559
and it just kind of frustrates me
when I look at it, like

587
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:52.039
they're still booking super indie shows on
a setting that is a WrestleMania type setting

588
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:58.079
for a potentially turning point show in
their company history. Last question I want

589
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.079
to ask you before we preven predict
how much is the All Out Show a

590
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:06.000
week later taken away from this card
in your mind? If anything, I

591
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:09.320
didn't even know there was one,
Like I think y'all out show? I

592
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:14.000
mean, if I'm putting a show
on it for a ninety thousand people and

593
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.559
I might have a show right after
it, Like, how can I possibly

594
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:24.440
make that an event worth watching?
Like unless you do something crazy, unless

595
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:29.280
you have a Bash at the Beach
moment or something of that ilk where we're

596
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:31.039
like, holy cow, I can't
believe that happened. Now I have to

597
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:35.920
watch All Out? But what are
you gonna build? What are you gonna

598
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:40.000
what storylines are you building for All
Out? This short returnaround time. It's

599
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:45.039
just it's completely baffling to me the
way they're setting this up. And it's

600
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:49.360
like, now, next year when
you don't have all in and you're doing

601
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:53.519
it all out? Are you also
damaging the brand name of all out by

602
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:58.000
putting it so close to all in? It's it's a it's a weird dichotomy.

603
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:00.280
I would have never done it.
Well, see how it plays out.

604
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.840
You know, two weeks from now
we'll be talking about the all out

605
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:08.199
All in aspect to this entire thing
and how it plays towards the future of

606
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:12.400
AW I wouldn't have played it this
way, but it's very well possible.

607
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.000
Even with the way that the card
is looking. Then a week from now,

608
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:16.360
Doctor Trey and I sit here and
go, this is a fantastic show,

609
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:19.639
one of the best the year,
such a great atmosphere, a lot

610
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:23.599
of fun to watch, and we
forget about the build. But heading into

611
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:28.280
it, it's like, man,
you have this amazing opportunity in the build

612
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:32.199
has been lackluster and last minute,
and that's what's disappointed. As a wrestling

613
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:37.000
family, wants to see some good
long term storylines that bringing all together,

614
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:42.239
So we'll see where it goes.
This Sunday All in London, England,

615
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:45.599
Wembley Stadium, expecting over eighty two
thousand people to be in attendance. It's

616
00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:52.000
being build as the biggest event in
wrestling history, Doctor, and might I

617
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.960
add Doctor Trey and I are recording
this during Dynamite, so it's very well

618
00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:00.519
possible that matches on this card could
be changed. Let's start with one that

619
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:05.760
could be changed. It's the pre
show match as Aussie Opened defend the ROH

620
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:08.760
World Tag Team Championship against MJF and
Adam Cole. Aussie opened his due to

621
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:12.119
be taken on the Hardy Boys.
As Doctor trying to record this, we

622
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:14.800
have no idea who's won that match, so as possible, could be the

623
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:16.599
Hardy Boys versus m Jeff and Adam
Cole. Wish to me would be more

624
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:21.320
of a all in match than the
one with Assie Open, and I'm a

625
00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.800
big fan of Aussie Open. With
that said, I really like this idea

626
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:29.320
of the main event battling for the
tag team Championship and the pre show.

627
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:31.760
This is also a way to get
fans in their seats. You could tell

628
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:36.559
great business by aw here that there
is concerned that fans will not be in

629
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:39.159
their seats for the start of this
show. That's why they're putting MJF and

630
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:42.440
Adam Cole on the pre show because
they want fans to check it out.

631
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:44.840
With that said, I'm gonna take
m jeff and Adam Cole to become the

632
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.000
new ROH World Tae Team Champions.
Doctor Try. By the way, it

633
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:52.000
also gives Adam Cole at MJF five
hours to recover. He gives them time

634
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.800
to recover for the main match matches. I am going this is where I

635
00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:02.599
think we're going to differ a little
bit. I am going to take Aussie

636
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:07.159
Open to retain their tag teams holes
by disqualifications. I think MJF and MCLE

637
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:12.239
get the win by DQ, but
I can't see them putting the Ring of

638
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:15.039
Honor Tag Teams titles on those two
guys when they're fighting for the world title

639
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:19.519
and then you have nothing on that
Ring of Honor brand for tag teams.

640
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:23.000
So I just can't seem MJF and
MCLE being on a Ring of Honor YouTube

641
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:28.440
show. So I will take Assie
Open to retain their tag titles by disqualification.

642
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.440
Next match here is for the AW
World Tag Team Championship is FTR Defense

643
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:36.000
against the Young Bucks. I'm going
to take the Young Bucks in this one,

644
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:39.159
Doctor Trey. I think with Cash
Wheeler's recent arrests, and potential legal

645
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:44.000
troubles. They may look to get
the titles off of FTR rather than keep

646
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:45.360
them on them when this is going
on. So I'm gonna take the Bucks.

647
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:50.360
I'm taking the Bucks for the cash
wheeler thing. And then also,

648
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:53.440
like, if you're going to get
to a point where we do the elite

649
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:58.159
versus c mftrs, that what you
called them left, that's right, that's

650
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:02.360
where they go by c MFTR,
CMFDR. Somebody's gotta played the bad guy.

651
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.000
So if the Bucks win, FDR
gets mad. Now you can have

652
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:12.440
FDR, the FDR and CM punk
to play the heels against the elite.

653
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.679
Get more buy in for that,
and it makes it more compelling. So

654
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:17.559
I will take the Bucks to win
the World Tag Team title as well.

655
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.880
Next match, here's a car Sheeta
versus Tony Storm versus Sorea versus Doctor Burt

656
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:25.559
Baker dm D in a four way
match for the aw Women's World Championship across

657
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:30.320
sheet of defending Doctor Trey. Who
do you like in this one? I

658
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.559
am taking Sirea to win because I
think if she has the belt, then

659
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.199
she can have the outcast kind of
play buffers. That way, she doesn't

660
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.400
have to work as much. I
think this was their idea to transition the

661
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:44.280
belt off Tony Storm and put it
on Sorea to get more eyes on the

662
00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:46.440
product. Plus, then you can
build to Britt Baker and Sorea again.

663
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:52.239
So I will take Sirea winning the
world title. Women have women's title in

664
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.360
her homeland of England as well.
I love that call, Doctor Trey.

665
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.239
I would love to go with Sorea, but I'm gonna go with doctor Burt

666
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:00.840
Baker. Dm D. I think
they gotta put the championship back on her,

667
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:04.880
But I love your pick for Surrey. You almost convinced me to make

668
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:07.800
a switch, but I'm gonna stick
with my pick here with Doctor Burt Baker.

669
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:12.079
Next match is Darby Allen and Staying
taking on Swerve Strickland and R Fox

670
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.280
of the Mobile Embassy and a tag
team coffin match. I'm so happy for

671
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:17.440
swarving r Fox getting this opportunity.
Dat straight, Who do you like in

672
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:22.519
this one? By the way,
why do the baby Faces go attack somebody

673
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:27.519
in their building because they were they
attacked Nick Wayne? Yeah, but you

674
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:31.039
that's basically got home invasion and baby
Faces don't do well other than Steve Austin.

675
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:35.599
I thought it was eye for an
Eye. I liked it. To

676
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:37.880
me, it's was it's one of
It's just old school me. I'm taking

677
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.000
Stinging Darby Allen because Sting doesn't lose
in AW so I take Stinging Darby Allen.

678
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:45.760
There are rumors that this could potentially
be his last match, staying Darby

679
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:50.800
Allen or with Sting. Excuse me, I'm gonna take Singing Darby Allen and

680
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:53.440
get the victory as well. By
the way, is that all letdown for

681
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:57.840
you? If this is Sting's last
match, that it's And notice I think

682
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:01.000
the survn aar fox. But if
this is things less match, would you

683
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:06.880
want to go out and kind a
bigger, bigger match. Yeah, But

684
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.000
I guess maybe the stage is what
they're thinking that this could be his last

685
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:13.599
match on I mean, this is
just pure speculation, but I agree the

686
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:17.000
match. No, I think Darby
Allen versus Sting would be a great way

687
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:20.760
for him to go out. But
I think they're just thinking at the stage

688
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:24.639
of Wembley Stadium, eighty thousand is
a potential here. Okay, it's Corbyn,

689
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:28.239
It's Barren Corbyn. Kurt angle to
me what it is? Yeah,

690
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:30.559
No, I hear you. Next
match is the Golden Elite Coda Boushi,

691
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:34.920
Kenny, Omegan, Hangman and and
Paige checking on Cano Skate Takeshka, j

692
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.719
White and Juce Robinson, all those
two of Bullet Club Gold and a six

693
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.239
man tag team match. I'm going
to take the Golden Elite Coda, Kenny

694
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.360
and Hangman. Yeah, I'm taking
the Golden lead as well. You don't

695
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:46.599
have Cod to come in and with
d have Cod to lose, even though

696
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:52.320
I do like Bullet Club Gold,
but just on this stage, and plus

697
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:54.239
it can always build up to Omega
and to Keshka as well, So I'll

698
00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:59.119
take the Golden and Elite getting the
win. Next match here is the Stadium

699
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:01.679
Stampede match. Just Eddie Kinkson Orange, Cassie, Chuck Taylor, Trent Breta,

700
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:06.360
Penta El, Sarah Mieto, and
to be announced because Ray Phoenix is

701
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:09.360
reportedly injured. They'll be taking on
John Moxley, Caudiocass and Only Wheeler.

702
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.280
You to the Blackpool Combat Club and
three mystery partners. Again. They may

703
00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:19.760
have announced the rest of this match
while we're recording this, so we don't

704
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:22.800
know. But Doctor Trey, who
do you like in this one? Somebody's

705
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:24.239
getting Mirro in this match. That's
all I can think of right now.

706
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:29.599
Mirro's on one side again or the
other, because he doesn't really have anything

707
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:34.360
on this on the show today.
So I'm taking Blackpool Combat Club because I

708
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:37.320
just don't think you can have them
lose two best friends, and as much

709
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.599
as I love Chuck and Trent,
they're just not on the level of the

710
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:45.400
rest of Blackpool Combat Club. I
like him taking Blackpool Combat Club and the

711
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.559
three Mystery Partners to get the victory
in Stadium Sampane. This is gonna be

712
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.480
a lot of fun. I love
that they're doing this match at Wembley.

713
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:55.440
Next match is a dream match of
sorts, depending on if you think it's

714
00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:58.559
a dream match. I think it
is. I don't know if Doctor Trey

715
00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:01.559
feels the same way, but we'll
lost taken on Chris Jericho. I'm gonna

716
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:07.199
take will Osprey getting the victory.
Yeah, I mean it's a dress.

717
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:09.280
Sorry, I was thinking about who
I picking this match, but yeah,

718
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:15.440
on paper, it's a dream matches
is like generational type stuff and two guys

719
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:19.199
that have kind of came up very
similar the business being high flyers then putting

720
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:23.360
on some size and getting a little
bit more brutes. Yeah, I really

721
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:27.679
want to pick Jericho's I think he
needs a win, not that for legacy,

722
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.840
is just for his standing in AW. But once again, it's will

723
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:32.760
Osprey in the United Kingdom that crowds
would go nuts for him. So I'll

724
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:37.119
take will Osprey as well. Next
match, here's for the real World Championships.

725
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.400
See him Punk defends against Samoa Joe. I'm gonna take see him Punk

726
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:44.159
in this one, Doctor Trey,
because I feel like he challenges for the

727
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:50.559
AW Championship a week later at All
Out in Chicago. Yeah, I'm same

728
00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:52.519
thing for me as much as I
love. By the way, have you

729
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.800
watched sust the medal yet he take? No, I've heard it's very good.

730
00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:59.039
It's very good, even though Joe
doesn't talk, which is disappointed because

731
00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:01.280
his voice would be great in the
role. But it's it's it's really entertaining.

732
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:06.400
I'm taking Cmpunk as well because I
don't know the last time Joe beat

733
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:08.400
CM Punk was it was probably a
ring of honor then, right yep?

734
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:14.960
Yeah yeah, Sampunk did not ever
defeat Samoa Joe until recently the Ownhart Tournament

735
00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:16.920
in a w sows. I think
it was Owen three in his career.

736
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:21.280
Okay, so I'll take Sampunk as
a guy to get back to even so

737
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:24.320
to massages ego a little bit,
and then finally the main event for the

738
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:30.599
AW World Champion, Doctor Trey MJF
defends against Adam Cole. Uh. This

739
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:31.679
one, This one, I don't
know about you. This one's a little

740
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:35.119
bit hard for me because I've kind
of been going back and forth on it

741
00:52:35.239 --> 00:52:37.199
because I could see it going both
ways. I could see either one of

742
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:44.239
the guys turning on the other guy. I'm gonna take MJF to retain because

743
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:49.079
I don't want to say it's a
been a lackluster title run, but I

744
00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:53.159
think he needs some signature title wins
to really establish his legacy as champion,

745
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:59.440
So I'll take MJF getting the win
at all Out. I don't think there's

746
00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:01.920
any wrong with you saying that it's
been a lackluster run, because I would

747
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:06.480
agree with you. It's not where
I thought it would be so far,

748
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:10.800
it's been below my expectations, slightly
below my expectations. With that said,

749
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:16.639
I'm going to take MJF to retain
and take on CM Punk a week later

750
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:21.239
at All Out so both of us
taking MJF dot I'm kind of surprising that

751
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:24.719
not to mention, and once again, this is that near sightedness of AW,

752
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:28.559
like, we're going to get if
that, if that comes through first,

753
00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:32.440
we're getting in JF and Punk within
a week. It's the World World

754
00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:37.239
Championship stuff. That's the It's like
it's predictable in that sense, which which

755
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:40.920
one makes it, which match gets
lessened by the other one. That's the

756
00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:45.599
like, are we so like after
the show? Are we like, oh

757
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:47.599
my god, MJFLE is great,
Oh yeah, we got to see him

758
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:52.039
Punk match coming up? Or are
we like I can't believe they're doing this

759
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:55.400
because that CM Punk MJF match based
on their history would be amazing. But

760
00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:59.880
we've had less than a less than
a week build up to it, so

761
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:02.360
it's gonna be like they're kind of
shooting themselves in the foot for all out

762
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:06.559
based on having all in so soon. Yeah, I would love to know

763
00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:08.760
behind the scenes, like how did
this? Why is all in and all

764
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:12.639
out around the same time. I
don't know if there's a story out there

765
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:15.559
right now. I felt like I
had read at some point that this was

766
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:19.440
one of the only weekends that AW
could have Wembley Stadium, and I may

767
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:23.719
be incorrect in that, but I
would have never done the biggest show in

768
00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:29.920
the history of your promotion then a
week later doing another show that you know.

769
00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:32.119
Doctor Trey and I debate all the
time, like is this the Kuda

770
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:37.119
grah for aw or is it double
or nothing? I don't believe it's revolution.

771
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:39.320
I don't believe it's full gear.
I feel like it's either all out

772
00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:44.360
or double or nothing. Which one
is their WrestleMania. I don't know,

773
00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:49.159
it's it's a it's a scenario we
never have seen really play out all that

774
00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:51.880
much. Ww we did it once
in recent memory that I could think of.

775
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:53.760
I think they did Summer Slam one
week and then a week later.

776
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:58.159
They did Payback in twenty twenty,
but twenty twenty was really weird and fucked

777
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.000
up, so maybe that's why they
I did it. Here we are three

778
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:04.920
years later, and they did not
have eighty thousand people in attendance for summers

779
00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:07.119
them. They had like ten,
and those were production workers and then people

780
00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:13.440
on a screen in Devinwi. So
I don't know. I'm Nonetheless, I'm

781
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:15.440
excited, Dr Trey. I'm excited
to see this crowd. I'm excited to

782
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.840
see the energy. I'm excited to
see the audience. I expect it to

783
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.920
be a very fun and entertaining show. I hope a week later we're sitting

784
00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:29.360
here going man, all in exceeded
expectations and then some. Despite the poor

785
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:31.960
built it's weird. I have to
kind of preference myself when I watched the

786
00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:37.880
show and knowing that, look,
if this crowd is anything like Cardiff,

787
00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:42.280
it like you and I are.
Theorisaid it was a fantastic show because the

788
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:45.840
crowd energy will pump it up,
just like the show in Puerto Rico.

789
00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:52.199
Like on paper as solid show,
but then the crowd energy just brings it

790
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:55.239
up even more. So I kind
of like, I always want to watch

791
00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:59.559
the show with no crowd volume,
Joe, so I can see all right

792
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:01.199
on my or not, because I
know the crowd's gonna hype me up even

793
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:06.199
more. So I'm really really looking
forward to that as well, Like it's

794
00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:12.880
gonna be a great environment. The
UK deserves this so much and I really

795
00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:17.760
just hope that it hits all of
their expectations because this is you know,

796
00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:22.199
all hands on deck, all eyes
on the product, and you're gonna have

797
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:25.480
more fans checking this out for AW
than they've had on any other show,

798
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:30.079
So you got to bring your A
game and then follow up with another A

799
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:32.760
game because you have All Out a
week later. Yeah, and we will

800
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:37.199
recap and review All In on next
week's edition in the podcast on August thirty,

801
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:40.599
first episode seven h seven will recap
interview all In, and then we

802
00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:45.639
will also preview predicted WWE Payback and
AW all Out. So there's a lot

803
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:51.239
going on heading into this Labor Day
holiday here in the United States. I

804
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.199
expected to be a very fun and
historic weekend for all the wrestling. I'm

805
00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:57.519
excited for them. They deserve this. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

806
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:00.360
I'm excited for the UK fans and
recap and review at All for you
