00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.039
This is your aw all in preview and predictions edition

5
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:34.039
of s R T. You I am one after the show,

6
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.079
I am Jeff Peck joined every single week like host

7
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.960
only doctor Trey Franklin, Doctor Trey. Are you all in

8
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:46.679
in all in this year? My friend?

9
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.679
Uh, it's like the hockey pokey? Can I just put

10
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.560
my right foot in and take my right foot out

11
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:52.880
and then put my right foot back in.

12
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.000
Then I'll just take it all about and then you

13
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:55.960
do have the hockey pokey?

14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.520
Yeah yeah, but I mean, uh, I mean hokey pokey

15
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.560
hasn't been trademarked by other companies. I really haven't surprised

16
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.439
in my forty years of wrestling fan and that nobody

17
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.120
has come out to the hockey pokey song.

18
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:13.439
Hey, it's that is actually kind of surprising. Yeah, like right,

19
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.920
like that, there's no like mister Rogers. I guess like

20
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.319
Bray Whitt did a Mister Rogers the like thing, but

21
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:26.040
like a child educational gimmick, and that's like their theme songs,

22
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.200
the hockey Pokey.

23
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.840
That would I mean that or just you know some

24
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.120
like I don't want to say, like maybe the ice

25
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.280
like we had a clown, we never really had the

26
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.519
ice cream man, you know with his little like a

27
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.000
little truck with the music that plays like that would

28
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.519
be clever or something like that. But I know most

29
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.040
hardcore wrestling fans don't like gimmicks. They just want to

30
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.239
see their wrestling action. I'm like, no, I like, I

31
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:48.799
still like my.

32
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.239
Characters, which which is bizarre because this is gonna be

33
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.000
like completely aw focused. And I had tweeted about this

34
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.400
over the weekend. I was watching Collision and I'm a

35
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.079
big fan of top flying action in Andretti. I think

36
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.840
there's obviously a huge world upside there and those guys

37
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.520
are extremely talented and clearly like Tony Kahan likes them.

38
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.719
They added one of jade card gills, like like v Battie,

39
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.280
the one that wasn't red Velvet. I cannot remember the

40
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.280
name now for the sake of me, do you remember

41
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.680
that name?

42
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:21.479
Your name Laila something?

43
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.680
Yeah, Laylah Gray, Leila Gray. So they've added her and

44
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.919
she was like in this flight attendant gimmick, which is

45
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:33.639
like obviously like borderline like attitude Era working on a

46
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.360
sex appealed esque that they're doing with that character and

47
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.120
on collision freaking top flight in Action Andretti came out

48
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.639
in pilot outfits and I'm like, what the hell is this?

49
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.120
Like this a is this like a like a joke?

50
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.759
Like is this supposed to lead to something? It felt

51
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.000
so gimmicky to me, felt like so early nineties, and

52
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.120
it's just funny that you brought up like wrestling fans

53
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.879
don't like gimmicks. I'm like, why why are we doing this?

54
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.080
Like I can understand the Layla Gray thing, but then

55
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.120
putting Action and Ready and the Martin brothers in pilot outfits,

56
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.479
like whoa, this feels like ww to me.

57
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.879
Yeah, so funny thing because I thought about that this

58
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.000
I saw that, I was like, you know, for me,

59
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:17.719
like being I guess I'm older. I grew up in

60
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.840
that air a little more than everybody else did. Like

61
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.919
I didn't hate it because one of the things I

62
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.879
talked to a lot of the younger guys on the

63
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.120
Independence thing about is if you can do all the

64
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.240
moves and everybody's about the same height, the same build,

65
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.039
and they're all kind of doing the same moves what

66
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.039
makes you stand out And as corny or as cringey

67
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.800
as the outfits may have looked, everybody's talking about it.

68
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.879
So it has made them stand out a little bit. Now,

69
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.199
over the course of time, they'll get some fine tuning

70
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.960
and stuff to it, but it does kind of play

71
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.719
into the play, into the name, and it does make

72
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.879
them stand out now good or bad, you know it does.

73
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.000
Sometimes it doesn't matter, but it's it's making people take

74
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.319
notice of them and go, oh, man, Like I think

75
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.360
that match they had on Collision actually has more views

76
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.240
than any other match on Collision from the weekend.

77
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.840
So and you think it says they were in pilot offense.

78
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.960
I think people were like, man, have you seen what

79
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.759
these guys are doing? The gum and pilot outfits, and

80
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.680
people went to go watch. So it has drawn attention

81
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.639
to them. It's just now you want more eyes on you.

82
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.519
And then they go, man, these guys can actually really

83
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:32.279
wrestle despite the captain's outfits. Now you make a little

84
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.040
few more fans. So it does they if because I

85
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:37.839
used to have the issue now with them, so might well.

86
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.360
But like Private Party, all these smaller tag teams private party,

87
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.560
top Flight. They all kind of do a lot of

88
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.199
the same stuff, so at least this kind of stands

89
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.560
them out and kind of brands them a little bit,

90
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.439
and then hopefully they can kind of find tuna to

91
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.959
where it doesn't look so corny in a few months.

92
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.519
But it does make them stand out a little bit.

93
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.199
I just felt like they didn't need to do it,

94
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.600
And I think if in this day they've been rocking

95
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.160
with this whole, like every flight is a red eye

96
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:09.079
flight obviously head tilting a little bit towards four twenty,

97
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.560
I think if they did something more in that vein

98
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.639
and a little bit more acceptable in like twenty twenty

99
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.160
four wrestling, I think that would have been maybe the

100
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:19.879
gimmick that you would have gone with it rather than

101
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.160
the pilot outfits.

102
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.120
Downside is then if they go over like the rascals, Sorry,

103
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.279
if they go a little more that way, they're kind

104
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.000
of infringing on rascals territory. I people call them out

105
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.319
on it. So once again, what we did was when

106
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.240
was something that really nobody's done, Like, nobody's.

107
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:44.279
Done, nobody's been a pilot in wrestling. Yeah, so yeah,

108
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.199
that'll do it for this week. Position a sort of

109
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.959
you know, we just had a discussion about top flight.

110
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.519
That's all we're doing today. Good luck, enjoy all in

111
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.800
and we will check you out next week. Let's get

112
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.079
into it. This is gonna be extremely AW centric because

113
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.759
this is their WrestleMania and we're gonna be focusing a

114
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.160
lot on AW and all In this Sunday from Wembley

115
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.959
in London, England. And I'll start with obviously a nod

116
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.600
to we here, Doctor Trey. Does AAW all in have

117
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.720
a WrestleMania like feel to it? As we are days

118
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.199
away from the event taking place this Sunday, I.

119
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.600
Would say card wise and bringing out their star power. Yes,

120
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:33.120
maybe not promotional wise, like it's not I mean, I mean,

121
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.560
obviously they're not on ww's level for promotions and marketing

122
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.120
and stuff like that. But if you're looking at the

123
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.040
card and looking at the way things are laid out

124
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.000
and the way ticket sales are going, it does have

125
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.920
the WrestleMania vibe. I just I mean, you're not seeing

126
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:52.000
all of the AW guys on all of the talk

127
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.560
shows and media outlets and things like that as much

128
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.399
as you do see for WWE. But you know, for

129
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.360
a five year old company, it's a pretty solid layout

130
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.720
for their version of Wrestlemanidia Man.

131
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.560
That's a really great point you made there, because even

132
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:12.000
when you go back to WrestleMania one, the night before WrestleMania,

133
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.120
Hulk Hogan and Mister t hosted Saturday Night Live in

134
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.319
nineteen eighty five, and that at the time was one

135
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.040
of the biggest shows on television, extremely popular. As years

136
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:31.040
have gone on and Cancel Culture Rages on SNL isn't

137
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:32.519
as good as it used to be, which is a

138
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.000
show in itself. A whole nother day when Doctor Trey

139
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.560
and I do a non SRTU podcast, but it was

140
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.000
a big, big deal that w was doing that. And

141
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.680
I think that's a fantastic point because as far as

142
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.680
I know, I know they're making rounds in radio and podcasts.

143
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.720
I've seen that, but I haven't seen aw Land on

144
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.879
say ESPN. I haven't seen them land on major news

145
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.439
outlets promoting the show, and they're not. That is the

146
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.639
one thing that's lacking. The wrestling side is certainly there.

147
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.839
The card, the build has felt like the most Okay,

148
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.800
this is their biggest show of the year than any

149
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.839
other card they've done, but the marketing and promotion is

150
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.199
definitely not there, and I think that's a fantastic point,

151
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.079
doctor Try. That is the part that's probably missing from

152
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.319
making it a WrestleMania like feel, which is kind of

153
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.879
concerning because does AW ever reach that point where they

154
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.240
could reach those major news outlets and promote this show

155
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.679
in the future like we does WrestleMania.

156
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.480
I think I would put this point, like I was

157
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:38.919
thinking about it as you were answering that. I'm like,

158
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.519
you know, with with Tony and Chad, Conn's backing, like

159
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.399
they have the connections in media to get their guys

160
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:51.320
out there, and it may be something they're just they overlook.

161
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.960
I mean, it is one of those things where, like

162
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.440
you know, they've always tried to distinguish themselves as you know,

163
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.279
the opposite of ww either antiwwe like the the wrestling fans.

164
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.799
You know, it's where wrestlers go to wrestle type promotion.

165
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.080
But you always need to grow your product and I'm

166
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.000
kind of even simple stuff like getting on ESPN or

167
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.480
even the NFL network. When your dad owns an NFL team,

168
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:21.440
you should be able to get somebody on the network

169
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.840
to promote the show or even the tie ins to

170
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.159
the stuff with the soccer team in London and things

171
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.039
like that, like they have the ability to do it.

172
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.679
I just think it may be something they're overlooking right now,

173
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.000
just kind of relying on word of mouth and die

174
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.360
hard wrestling fans. But once again, there's no real celebrity

175
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.679
tie ins to this one a la WrestleMania. There's it's

176
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.120
not out there in pop culture. It's not out there

177
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.039
and you know, normal media where for everybody to see it.

178
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.960
So I think it's just an opportunity that they're either

179
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:53.840
overlooking or just missing out on right now.

180
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.960
So just to play devil advocate in that point, so

181
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.240
you're you know, you're bringing up grape ones. There there's

182
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.600
no worts entertainment entertainment value to it that we typically

183
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.120
see with w the pomp and circumstance and aw markets

184
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:12.559
itself as the wrestling promotion. Does that fit their ideology

185
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.039
on how they should be presenting themselves as a company

186
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.039
or is it a missed opportunity that they should be

187
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:18.960
taking advantage of.

188
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:21.679
I think it's a little both. I think that they

189
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.320
I mean, one thing we can say about AEW Jeff

190
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.080
is they're pretty stubborn at times. They are who they are,

191
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.559
they lean into what they do. And those guys that

192
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.200
are fervent in their belief about pro wrestling being pro wrestling,

193
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.279
you know, they kind of run that place. I mean,

194
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.679
you do have the Chris Jericho's of the world and

195
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.240
things like that that are you know, multifaceted and have

196
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.120
been in a variety of different entertainment venues. But one

197
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.360
of my things about AAW has always been like, if

198
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:55.159
you're not growing the product, you're getting stale and you're plateauing.

199
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.799
And for as much as Dieheart wrestling fans love so

200
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.159
strictly just use him as an example, why do you

201
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.480
not have Swerve out there in the media having people

202
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.720
take notice of it. It's your main event. Have people

203
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.320
find out who Swerve Strickland is. You know, you have

204
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.039
the MJF will Ospray match is going to be, you know,

205
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.200
one of the was talked about matches of the year.

206
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:22.480
Neither guys out doing media and these are the your

207
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.919
your building blocks for who your company is going to

208
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.039
be in five to ten years. They need to become

209
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.279
more household names. I mean, most fans know who you know.

210
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.519
Most people you know, they might have heard John Moxley.

211
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.840
They they you know, Chris Jericho, you know, even conservative

212
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.440
fans like know who O'Brian Danielson in. But your building

213
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.879
blocks your Darby's or Jack Perry's. The guys that your

214
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.639
your pillars, your foundations, your swerves. Those guys need to

215
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.679
be out there making the rounds right now to draw

216
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.120
in some new fans, some casual fans, just to take

217
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.840
notice of it. Be like, man, I really like the

218
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.360
way this guy was talking, or I really what this

219
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:57.919
guy said, or I really like this guy's swag or

220
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.120
whatever it is. You know, get those fans to buy

221
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.399
the paper even check it all out.

222
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.600
The last thing that I'll mention here, Doctor Trey, in

223
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:10.840
regards to this comparison of is it the WrestleMania of

224
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.919
aw wrestlemanna like feel to it? Is the fans perspective

225
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.559
going into WrestleMania. Personally speaking, I get really really hyped

226
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.840
for WrestleMania. It's it's the similar excitement that you feel,

227
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.360
as you know, heading into the Super Bowl and watching

228
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.240
the gameplay out. I feel like I was actually really

229
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.279
hyped for SummerSlam this year, which is very very rare.

230
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.120
It's it's rare that outside of WrestleMania, I get hyped

231
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.080
for shows. I'm excited for aw all in this weekend,

232
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.679
but I'm not hyped to the degree that it would

233
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.559
be for a WrestleMania Like last year. I think I

234
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.440
was more hyped because I was super excited that aw

235
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.360
was going to have over eighty thousand fans for a

236
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.600
promotion at the time that was forty years old, have

237
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.360
a major show for the first show in London, England.

238
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.039
I was really hyped for that. But outside of the

239
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.399
excitement that I have for the card, it's I don't

240
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.519
have that feel to it. So as a fan, do

241
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:08.600
you feel like it's a WrestleMania like promotion or event

242
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:10.120
this upcoming Sunday.

243
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.960
I mean, like, like I said, Earl, like based on

244
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:17.720
the card, I would say yeah, but some of the

245
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.399
things around it, like Okay, we're in Wembley Stadium again,

246
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.919
you know at this point, now this is the fourth

247
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:29.159
European pay per view event in the last year, so

248
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.480
it's kind of like, Okay, that's a little different. You know,

249
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.639
it's not the same as it was. It doesn't have

250
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.960
the newness has kind of worn off of it. Now

251
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.840
we're kind of like, okay, we're you know, it's not rehashed,

252
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.679
but it's you know, if WrestleMania did two in a

253
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.159
row from Vegas, you know, it's kind of like, oh well,

254
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.480
it's it's not anything different. We kind of saw this

255
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.159
and then once again like it just doesn't have the

256
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.360
hype factor in it as I mean, we were all

257
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.559
excited even though you and I sat here three months

258
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.960
before so Mania going. You know, Cody's gonna beat Roman.

259
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.320
You know, we we all kind of knew how that

260
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.799
was gonna play out. It still had, you know, the

261
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:09.960
wow factor to it. It's still had that you still

262
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.159
got excited about it. Like I'm excited for swerving Brian

263
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.480
Yanson because I don't really know how it's gonna go

264
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:19.279
and how it's gonna play out. But it just doesn't

265
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:23.159
have that umph to it like Cody and Roman had,

266
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.600
or even you know, Drew and you know, Drew and

267
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.559
Punk or anything else you know that we saw going

268
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:29.480
on to WrestleMania season, even though Drew and Punk did

269
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:34.600
in wrestle But it just doesn't have that Oh I

270
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.240
guess I'm trying to figure out the right word for

271
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.159
it just doesn't have that extra energy or hype that

272
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:44.600
a WrestleMania does. It's a fantastic card laid out, but

273
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.200
it just doesn't have that wow factor leaning into it

274
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.360
like a WrestleMania does.

275
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.919
Are you excited for this Sunday, I'm.

276
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.559
I'm pretty excited for it. Like I said, I think

277
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.039
like the one thing I'm missing is just that we

278
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.559
don't have like Wrestleman has got. I also gotten known

279
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.440
for having surprise appearances from either legends or people from

280
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.840
the past or things like that, and I don't feel

281
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.120
like we're going to see that. So it's like, I

282
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.159
maybe it's a little bit they're lacking some of the

283
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.279
nostalgia that you and I love in WrestleMania's true like it,

284
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.600
it just doesn't have that maybe layers to it that

285
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:19.480
Mania does.

286
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.039
I think what would help is and I feel like

287
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.360
I've seen this in like other marketing that they've done

288
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.440
when it comes to promoting the show, and I actually

289
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.639
think it was more in line with promoting All In

290
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.879
in Arlington, Texas next year is in print. I feel

291
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:36.840
like I've read recently like this is our biggest show

292
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.200
of the year. I would have loved that hyped so

293
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.080
much more on aw Television, on Dynamite Rampage and collision,

294
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.919
like this is our biggest show of the year, the

295
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.440
biggest match in AW history. And I mean there's times

296
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.440
with WWE's promotion, like the biggest WrestleMania Main event of

297
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.639
all time with Lesner and Roman Reigns that you kind

298
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.720
of scoff at it, or the greatest wrestling match of

299
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.960
all time between Orton and Edge and you scoff at it.

300
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.799
But nonetheless it's like your eyeballs go to it and

301
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.200
you get excited and they win you over. That way,

302
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.600
that is something I would have liked AW to do

303
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.919
is market this show as the biggest show of the year.

304
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.399
And I think maybe in aw's mind they don't want

305
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.960
to do that because they don't want to belittle all

306
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.080
their other shows. And when people are like going out

307
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.559
there to buy tickets, but you know, you're putting it

308
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.039
in Wembley, You're putting it in Global Live Stadium next

309
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.320
year where the Texas Rangers play. Over fifty plus thousand

310
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.519
will be in attendance or close to in Wembley this Sunday.

311
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:33.639
It could be similar attendance in Arlington, Texas next year.

312
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.240
It make it your big show, and again, I think

313
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.080
that's some things that they're missing out, but it's building

314
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.399
that way. It's funny because this is something doctor Trey

315
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.000
and I have been talking about forever. When it came

316
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.600
to AW launching, was you know, what is their Wrestlemanian

317
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.879
And we often debated it. It was, well, maybe it's

318
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:54.440
double or nothing, maybe it's all out. I sit here today,

319
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.960
Doctor Trey and I say, aw all in is their

320
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.399
WrestleMania based on the things that they've been doing the

321
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.840
last couple year. I don't necessarily know if if you

322
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.360
fully agree with that yet.

323
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:08.000
Oh yeah, I mean to to market it for Wembley

324
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.759
Stadium last year, this year and then already hyping up,

325
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.279
you know, for Globe Life. I think they kind of

326
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:17.880
have settled on all In being there WrestleMania and you

327
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.640
know that, but they still need to distinguish it from

328
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.680
everything else. And this is something we talked about last

329
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.759
year and this year they did kind of push all

330
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.079
out back a little bit. But last year we had

331
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:32.119
all in and then all out right after. You know,

332
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.880
WrestleMania might have backlash right after it, but it's not

333
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.680
a week or two weeks later. It's still on the

334
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.519
normal cycle. You know. One of the things that wa

335
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.400
does that is you know, you know we talked about

336
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.000
the road to WrestleMania. We as soon as the Rumble hits,

337
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.160
the WrestleMania sign is out, and even on the pay

338
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.680
per views leading into Mania, the WrestleMania sign is out there.

339
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:01.279
It does make it feel like from Rumble to Mania,

340
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.400
it's like the playoffs in sports, like you have to

341
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.119
get through this to get to WrestleMania. I think that's

342
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.640
one thing that AAW hasn't done. And you're absolutely right,

343
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.839
like part of it was for the first few years,

344
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:18.279
I don't think they knew what their WrestleMania type event was.

345
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.240
I think now they have settled on all In being it.

346
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.559
Just maybe next year we start seeing more of that

347
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.839
branding like you know, the road to all In or

348
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.799
the Path to all In or whatever. You know, Moniker,

349
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.680
they give it now, you've settled on it. Now, let's

350
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.880
kind of line it all up so that way people know, Hey,

351
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.039
we're trying to get to all In because that's our

352
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.720
big event, that's the one that the drive everybody to it,

353
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.400
that's the one we want everybody focused on.

354
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:44.440
Yeah, I think they've done some really they've done a

355
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.200
good job with taking those steps. I like that they

356
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.559
had the owen Hart Tournament as the winner of each

357
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.200
the male and female would would main event a title

358
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.079
match at all In. I hope they do that again

359
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:58.440
next year. I like the bill that they've done with

360
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.720
all In twenty twenty five and only to Texas, like

361
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:02.640
this is our biggest show of the year. And I

362
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:04.279
agree with you. I think that they need to start

363
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.519
having people cut promos. That's like I want to main

364
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.839
event all In. They need people to start hyping up

365
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.519
that they're on a quest to main event all In.

366
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.119
That's what makes it a big deal. That there's the

367
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.319
reason why the Royal Rumble is the way it is,

368
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.680
and everybody in WWE their passion and then their drive

369
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.839
is the main event WrestleMania one day, and that's what

370
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:25.000
we need to see with all In. And I think

371
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.720
they're taking the right steps. It's not there yet, but

372
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.200
it's not like this stagnant place. I do believe that

373
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.880
they're taking the right steps and making it a big deal,

374
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.599
their biggest show of the year and their equivalent to WrestleMania.

375
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.599
So really looking forward to the Son of the Card

376
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.440
is very strong. The build has been very strong. We

377
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.759
will preview and predict the entire card later on in

378
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.000
the show. Keeping with all of the wrestling, obviously, the

379
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.880
big thing right now is in regards to their television

380
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:55.200
deal with Warner Brothers Discovery. Their exclusive negotiating window has

381
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:59.000
since expired, so AW can theoretically be negotiating with anybody,

382
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.680
any channel, any network, anyone out there for the rights

383
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.039
to all of their television content. The most recent update

384
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:09.960
comes to us from fight Full Select reporting as followed

385
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.079
saying WBD sources of claim that WBD recently made another

386
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.839
offer that is in aw's hands. Those close to the

387
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.599
situation claim that previous officers were a quote at least

388
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.559
double aw's current deal end quote. This is also coming

389
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.039
off I believe a day ago Tony Kah did an

390
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:32.279
interview with Barstool Sports wrestling podcast called Wrestling with Brandon Walker,

391
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.680
and he was wearing a HBO Max or Max whatever

392
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.160
they call it now hat throughout the entire interview, it

393
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.799
would appear to me that AW does not want to

394
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:43.279
go anywhere else. Warner Brothers Discovery does not want them

395
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.000
to go anywhere else, and it would not shock me

396
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.000
Doctor Trey that if there is a major announcement during

397
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.240
AW all in where it is announced that AW has

398
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:55.079
re upped with Warner Brothers Discovery for the next five years.

399
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:59.000
And obviously the money value will come out through the

400
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:02.319
various news outlets, but it would not shock me here

401
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.079
in the next week or two we get an announcement

402
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:06.960
to AW and Warner Brothers Discovery have re upped. And

403
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.440
like we said about a month ago when we were

404
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:12.960
originally talking about this and negotiad she negotiated window coming

405
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.400
to an end, and some rumblings of Warner Brothers Discovery

406
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.400
maybe going in different directions with the NBA. We were

407
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:21.519
ruining this on. We were cheering this on. Warner Brothers

408
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:25.759
Discovery has a huge footprint and we need the number

409
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.480
two promotion in the United States to remain on a

410
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:30.839
really strong network. So this is a great thing for

411
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.799
professional wrestlings fans. Doctor Trey, how do you interpret this

412
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.960
latest news in regards to AW and their discussions were

413
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.119
Warner Brothers Discovery.

414
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.359
No, I think it's a it's a great move on

415
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.319
both parties fronts. I think they're both parties want to

416
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.559
make get a deal done. Warner Bros. Are of course

417
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.079
making that, you know, making that offer right before the

418
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:54.039
window expired, and then you know, AW kind of pushing

419
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:55.599
it off because that gives them a little bit of

420
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:57.359
a leverage to kind of tweak it a little bit

421
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.640
they want to, but neither party really he wants to

422
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.519
go anywhere. I mean, if you look at the numbers,

423
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.279
like aw's one of the highest rate of programs that

424
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:12.160
you know, WBD has out there. If they're making offers

425
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.400
that are quote quote you know double the last deal,

426
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.880
that shows that there's growth in the company and believability

427
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.680
in the company. So I think it's a good move

428
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.599
on both parts. And I think Tony con SamArt just

429
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.359
trying to you know, play you know, hold off on

430
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.920
the announcement to all in Weekend because once again, that

431
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:33.359
would be just more you know, media coverage on this

432
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.119
as well. If you're like, damn, they got five years

433
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.039
and three hundred and fifty million or some whatever crazy

434
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:41.440
number it is, people are gonna taking notice of that.

435
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.599
So and it's good for other wrestling companies too. You

436
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.000
look at the MLW's of the world, those other companies

437
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:50.400
that are the impact wrestling of the world. If AW

438
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:53.359
is getting this kind of money, that shows other networks

439
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.240
that's a viable product to put on their network to

440
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.319
draw more viewers in and that can help out everybody

441
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:01.039
else below AW as well.

442
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.759
Yeah, we need AW to remain on a strong network.

443
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.839
So I have a feeling that gets announced this this

444
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.319
Sunday Doctor Track. I feel like something's in the work here.

445
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.039
I don't think Tony Kom puts on a MAX hat

446
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:14.400
during an interview for no reason.

447
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.319
Yeah, it would be really really bad negotiating with, you know,

448
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.640
some other entity if you're wearing the competitions. It's like

449
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.599
the college kid trying to sign his letter of an

450
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.640
tent while wearing another college's hat. You know, you just

451
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:29.880
don't do that. And it's you don't take your wife

452
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.160
to dinner start staring at other women, you know, that's

453
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:33.440
kind of that would be kind of the thing. It

454
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:35.960
is like, I'm wearing the MAX hat, but I'm really

455
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:39.079
really eyeballing how good ESPN looks right now.

456
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:42.480
Yeah, exactly. It's Yeah, the news comes out that they've

457
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:47.960
signed with yeah another network, Home and Garden probably now,

458
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:49.440
and he was wearing a MAX act just to pay

459
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:53.039
tribute to them. That would be very weird. Over the

460
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:57.079
last couple of weeks, months, even years that are the

461
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:02.519
young Bucks are a very hotly discussed topic amongst wrestling fans.

462
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.000
You're either a Young Bucks fan or I feel like

463
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.359
a Young Bucks hater. I'm in the middle when it

464
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:10.920
comes to the Young Bucks, so I guess I'm the

465
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.279
anomaly in this entire thing. I feel like you either

466
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.519
ride with them pretty hard or you dislike them pretty hard,

467
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.640
especially basically what happened two years ago at Brawl Out

468
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.400
in Chicago Noise and there's been a lot of discussion

469
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.160
lately in regards to their contract. They have a, according

470
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.319
to reports, a similar deal like brack Lesner has where

471
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.519
they work a limited amount of dates, and aw was

472
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.799
keeping them off television for a period of time so

473
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:37.559
that they can keep those dates for the rest of

474
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.039
the year. I think Meltzer had a report out there

475
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.000
there or Alvarez had a report out there that they

476
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.400
would be basically wrestling every week or on the show

477
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.559
every week for the rest of this year, which doesn't

478
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.839
sound like a Lessner deal to me. Most recently, they

479
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:54.640
defended the tag team titles against the Acclaim on last

480
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.400
week's Dynamite, and that was the first time they defended

481
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:59.640
the titles since they won the championship. It was actually

482
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:01.640
the first time the AW tag team titles were defended

483
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.440
since Revolution in Sting's retirement match, which is just wrong

484
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.319
and bizarre, especially for a company that prided itself on

485
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.200
having a strong tag team division. Nonetheless, I saw an

486
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.119
interview with MGF recently where he said that fans should

487
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.319
appreciate the Young Bucks more, that if it wasn't for

488
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:20.079
the Young Bucks and obviously a cast of other characters,

489
00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:22.240
that there would be no AW, that there would no

490
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.519
be alternative. That wrestlers today want to be making the

491
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:27.160
money that they are, that the business want to be

492
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.359
as strong as they are, and that got me wondering.

493
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:31.839
Dutch trailer, I was like, all right, we're gonna be

494
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.559
headed into an AW all in podcast. We're gonna be

495
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:38.359
talking about AW for the entire show. With everything that

496
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.759
we've heard in the New Grapevine, the news we see

497
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:44.319
on the screen, their impact and professional wrestling. Where do

498
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.079
you stand when it comes to the appreciation level for

499
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.480
both Nick and Match Acts and the Young Bucks.

500
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.640
It's an interesting question. I've never really thought about it

501
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:59.680
until I saw THEMJF comments because I'm kind of with you,

502
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.880
kind of always been neutral on the Young Bucks, Like

503
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.519
because to me while when they first got on the scene,

504
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:09.000
I was like, Oh, they're kind of a Hardy Boys knockoff,

505
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.839
and then it was kind of like, Oh, they're They're cute,

506
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:14.880
they do some cool things. They do a lot of

507
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.400
things I dislike, but there's a lot of things I

508
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.559
do like about them. So I guess I'm with you.

509
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:21.839
Like I guess I'm an anomaly. I land kind of

510
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.680
in the middle of them. I will say that, you know,

511
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:29.400
for the younger tag teams coming up on the scene,

512
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:31.400
the young Bucks are a huge influence on them, so

513
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:35.519
I you know, and without them and Kenny and and

514
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:39.799
Hangman and Cody, we probably don't have an aw right now.

515
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:44.400
So like, I appreciate their contributions to the world of

516
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.480
professional wrestling, even though some of the contributions aren't really

517
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.359
my cup of tea. But for the most part, you know,

518
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:54.839
I don't think you know a lot of the wrestlers

519
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.039
that are out there in their early twenties, they're a

520
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:00.240
huge The Bucks are a huge influence on the who

521
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.759
they are as performers. So I got to give them

522
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:05.640
a lot of credit for that, for influencing a young

523
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:07.359
generation of wrestling talent.

524
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.119
So I appreciate them. I appreciate everything that they've done

525
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.039
for professional wrestling. I completely agree with them JF. If

526
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:15.720
it wasn't for them and the rest of the elite,

527
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:17.759
there would be no AW, there would no be all,

528
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.759
there would be no alternative. I don't think professional wrestling

529
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:22.599
would have been as hot as it is right now

530
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:25.039
if there was no AW pushing we to be better

531
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.400
and make some very important creative changes and the way

532
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:32.640
that they handle their product. So I do feel like

533
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.400
that they've revolutionized the business, and I think that they

534
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:38.799
know what is best for the business to a degree.

535
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:43.960
This is the part where the appreciation level for the

536
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.920
young bucks kind of gets a bit murky. So they

537
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.400
understand that we need a legit number two, that we

538
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:53.839
need a legit alternative and professional wrestling. However, when you

539
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.519
go back to brawl Out two years ago and that

540
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:01.319
situation takes place and it's all over the internets, highly discussed,

541
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:07.720
people are suspended, people are injured, and it puts a

542
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:12.000
spotlight on AAW in both the good and a bad sense.

543
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:13.599
I think more of a good sense because it's like,

544
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:15.599
oh man, I want to see what they do next now,

545
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:18.680
And I thought the entire way that AW handled that

546
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.319
situation from a wrestling perspective was incredibly poor. How once

547
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:27.200
cmpunk came back to the company that they did not

548
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:31.559
capitalize on the real life tension will forever irk me

549
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.960
in the way that WWE botched the Invasion angle in

550
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:41.559
two thousand and one. The best type of storyline feud

551
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:45.119
care for a match is when there's a little bit

552
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:46.720
of a gray area of whether or not are they

553
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:48.680
telling the truth? Do they really not like one another

554
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.519
or do they like one another? And to me, to

555
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.559
have that there would have made so much money for

556
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:58.200
the company capitalized on and it would have been what

557
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:03.359
is quote best for business. It's funny because two years later,

558
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.880
one of the best feuds, if not the best feud

559
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:09.440
in professional wrestling, is exactly what we were looking for

560
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.400
with the Elite and seem Punk and it involves c

561
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:16.160
and Punk and Drew McIntyre. There is reportedly in what

562
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.640
Drew McIntyre is saying in interviews and who knows if

563
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.599
this is kfab or not if it's legititer storyline legit

564
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:25.759
beef and hatred between the both of them, and it

565
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.440
seems like it's more obviously on Drew McIntyre's part rather

566
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:31.160
than CM Punk's part. I don't think Punk gives two shits.

567
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:34.640
But those two guys, including Seth Wrong's I'll throw him

568
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:39.119
in there as well, can put away personal animosity and

569
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:42.559
dislike and disdain that we believe on the outside looking in,

570
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:46.200
and that's a huge asterisk in this entire thing. Believe

571
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:49.000
that exists and have it portray it out on the

572
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.559
screen makes people so much more excited and intrigued to

573
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.079
take a look at it that way. And to me,

574
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:58.039
I think the biggest hit in the Young Bucks career

575
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:03.279
is obviously aw All in twenty eighteen, excuse me, twenty

576
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:05.519
eighteen running with that and the beginning of the birth

577
00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:09.119
of aw The biggest miss in their career will forever

578
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:11.839
be not capitalized on what took place of Brawl out

579
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.720
back in twenty twenty two. So while I appreciate them,

580
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:19.039
and I've always appreciated them, there are parts of me

581
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.720
that it's like, what's with these guys? Because were according

582
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:26.759
to what I see, Punk wanted to do business. The

583
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.519
elite did not want to do business. So it's like,

584
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.119
m there's a little bit of smoke, there's a little

585
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:34.920
bit of fire. You hear out there. You either ride

586
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.759
really hard with the Young Bucks behind the scenes or

587
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:40.200
you don't ride very hard with the Young Bucks behind

588
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:43.359
the scenes as well. So they are very similar to

589
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:49.240
seeing Punk a very intriguing element in professional wrestling Doctor Trey.

590
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:54.440
Oh wait, I mean, I mean probably the most polarizing

591
00:30:55.279 --> 00:31:01.079
tag team of all time. It's weird right now we're

592
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:03.559
here to have all in and we're having yet I

593
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.400
don't want to say another Bucks FTR match because the

594
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:10.799
acclaim was sprinkled into it. But the FTR was a

595
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:14.559
big part of all that stuff. When you know, Dynamite

596
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:19.079
and Collision were kind of split, and you know, you

597
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:21.079
had the Punk side and you had the Elite side,

598
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.000
and and we were sitting here going why can't they

599
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:26.559
put this together? And we get that six man tag

600
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:29.319
with Omega and the Bucks against Punk and FTR. But

601
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:31.920
yet here we are where we're having FTR in the Bucks,

602
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:34.720
and it's it is a huge myss that we never

603
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:38.640
got that. I mean, to me, it's it's reminiscent also

604
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:40.640
the fact that like we never got Becky Lynch and

605
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.480
Ronda Rousey won on one. You couldn't tell if there

606
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.480
was real life animosity or not, like it was that

607
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.799
gray area, Like is there a little bit of jealousy

608
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.839
on Becky's part or Ronda's part, Like the fact that

609
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:58.119
we never got that match, you know, is right there

610
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.400
with we've never Like I'll tell you that it's below

611
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:04.559
the fact we never got punk and Omega punk in

612
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:07.480
the Bucks any kind of combination of that following what

613
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.359
happened through after brawl out, Like it's a huge miss.

614
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.920
But and that's what I kind was saying earlier, like

615
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.279
there are things the Bucks have done that change the

616
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:20.799
industry for the better, you know, I mean really being

617
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.559
one of the first acts to get their T shirts

618
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:29.200
into major retailers without having the WW branding behind it

619
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:33.400
is incredible. Like the way they market it and merchandised

620
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:37.720
themselves is the blueprint for what all the independent talents

621
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:42.200
around the world are doing now. But I do feel

622
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:46.200
like sometimes that they get a little butt hurt and

623
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.240
they hold onto that, and they hold onto the animosity

624
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.039
like a little bit too long, like you said, like

625
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:55.519
maybe see I'm Punk and Drew McIntyre hate themselves or

626
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:58.559
hate each other, but I tend to think that they're

627
00:32:58.599 --> 00:32:59.839
able to work. I mean, if you're gonna a damn

628
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:03.279
sure match. You gotta trust the guy a little bit

629
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:08.160
not to really physically damage you. Maybe it's a work,

630
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:10.200
Maybe it's a shoot SETH and Punk, Maybe it's a work.

631
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.359
Maybe shoot. The fact that we knew there was real

632
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:14.680
life heat between the Bucks and CM Punk and the

633
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:17.519
Elite and CM Punk and to a degree, anybody who's

634
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.720
associate to see MP Punk and we never got to

635
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:23.799
see him play out just shows that, Look, they're grown men,

636
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.039
but in this industry at times, you can be a

637
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.440
little childish and not do what's best for business. And that's,

638
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.319
like you said, like that's the biggest miss I think

639
00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:35.720
they've had, because if they had ever had that match

640
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.880
or had some kind of combination of that, that would

641
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:41.599
have blown the roof off any these other shows that

642
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:44.319
we've covered over the last five years.

643
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:48.119
For AW, AW needed that period, They needed that storyline,

644
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.240
The fans wanted it to play out, and they never

645
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:52.680
capitalized it on a company, and they were think there

646
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.440
was so much animosity, legit animosity that it never played out.

647
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:58.559
I mean, Bret and Sean were able to do business

648
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:00.640
and there was a ton of animosity that played out,

649
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:03.039
and that's what brought so much intriguing to w ninety

650
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.759
six and ninety seven for that specific feud, and it's

651
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.880
like they really couldn't do business. And what's funny is

652
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:11.679
the only time they actually did business around that whole

653
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:15.679
Elite Cmpunk storyline, Doctor Trey was the tag team match

654
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:18.159
at Dynasty to crown the new champions, the ladder match

655
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:20.760
with FTR and the Young Bucks, and they aired the

656
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.119
footage with Jack Perry, and that brought Jack Perry back

657
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:25.519
like that was the only time. And that's why that

658
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:27.519
like left a really bad taste in my mouth because

659
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:29.360
one airing of that footage was so lame. It made

660
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.800
Jack Perry look like crap. And I still attest to

661
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:33.880
that one and two and it's like, this is so

662
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:36.519
lame that because he did an interview with Ariel Hllani,

663
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.119
you know, ripping the company apart, that now you want

664
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.199
to capitalize on a real life situation that could have

665
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:46.320
made you a ton of money that now everybody just

666
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.079
kind of like rolls their eyes at you that you're

667
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:48.920
doing this now.

668
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.079
Yeah, and not to mention like you do it right

669
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:56.360
when you're wrestling. Arguably the other the other greatest tag

670
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:58.280
team of the world in FTR who are friends with

671
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.360
them punk So then it's like you're just you're thumbing

672
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.159
your nose at some of your employees to spite somebody

673
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:08.119
who's no longer there. So it is a little The

674
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.400
pettiness at times that the Bucks have is their biggest drawback,

675
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:18.400
where their mind for wrestling and marketing is their biggest strength.

676
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:21.840
Yeah, I mean to give them credit, there were reportedly

677
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.840
they were saying that they did not want to do

678
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:26.920
that and thought like a sleeping dog should lie there,

679
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.320
but they still went through with it, and they said

680
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:33.719
what they did during promos, and obviously there is there's

681
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:36.679
some real life to it that played out. So the

682
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:39.199
appreciation level of the un Bucks that's there. I would say,

683
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:41.840
like I seventy five percent appreciate them, Doctor Trey, and

684
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:44.000
like twenty five percent, I'm like, yeah, these guys are

685
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:46.239
are kind of like jackasses.

686
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:48.960
Yeah, that's about where I'm at. Like I said, like

687
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:51.280
you and I kind of both land in the middle

688
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.480
when it comes to the Bucks. And but seventy five

689
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:56.000
percent positive, twenty five percent negative. I think they've done

690
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:58.639
way more good for the business than they have agreed

691
00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.880
bad things.

692
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:01.559
And I think a lot of people could sit there

693
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:03.840
on the same level. It's like see them punk as well,

694
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:07.199
so very polarizing figures. You know, there's always like, man,

695
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:08.960
I really really like these guys, and that's what I

696
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:10.960
like with the Young Bucks. But it's that man, they

697
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.320
could be dicks too or miss a lot of business.

698
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.039
And that was Shawn Michaels. That was Shawn Michaels back

699
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:20.000
back in the day as well. So appreciation level for

700
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.199
the Young Bucks. Feel free to chime in at SRTU

podcast on Twitter or Facebook dot com slash serialto show

702
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:30.360
excuse me x no no longer Twitter, rip Twitter. Finally,

703
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:33.159
Doctor Trey, Let's get to our aw all. In preview predictions,

704
00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:36.079
it comes to us this Sunday from Wembley Stadium in London, England.

705
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.679
As you and I record this, there are ten announced matches.

706
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:41.960
We will see if they will expand that card like

707
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.920
they typically do as time goes on. Let's get to

708
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.400
the pre show match here as Chris Statlander and Stokely

709
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:49.840
Hathaway take on Willow Knight and Gallant Tomo hero Ege.

710
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:52.920
The winning team will choose the stipulation of the match

711
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:55.360
between Night and Gale and Statlander at aw All out.

712
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:58.599
I like this build for this match because I think

713
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:01.519
it's hilarious the way that Sookely hath Way is reacting

714
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.400
to this all. Nonetheless, I'm gonna go with Nightingale and

715
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.519
Tomohroe getting the victory, and I just have a feeling

716
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.119
that like Stokely Hathaway is going to be dangling in

717
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:11.719
a shark cage above the ring or something.

718
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:16.800
Yeah, it's hard to pick against Nightingale and Ishi when

719
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:19.360
Stokely's a match, I will say, like, Stokely's one of

720
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:21.800
my favorite guys to watch. I love Stokely Hathaway and

721
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:24.679
I used to not like him, but you know, manager

722
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:28.800
appreciation love. I guess I'm taking Eeshi and Nightingale as well,

723
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:31.880
just because I do kind of want see Stokely hanging

724
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:35.000
above the ring or a in a cage somewhere and

725
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:37.199
just running his mouth the entire time.

726
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:40.119
Next match here is timeless Tony Store. I'm taking on

727
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:42.679
the Glamour and Ryan May for the aw Women's World Championship,

728
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:44.039
Doctor Trey, who do you like in this one?

729
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:48.480
Man? This one's tricky for me just because, like this

730
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:51.000
has been one of my favorite bills of a woman's

731
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:57.360
match in history. I've really enjoyed it adding in Mina

732
00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:59.199
into the mix again here at the end. It has

733
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:02.880
been made a little interesting as well. That I mean,

734
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:06.000
but from a I mean a turn standpoint, I mean

735
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.960
Mariah May with that turn that may have been one

736
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:14.719
of the greatest turns in women's wrestling. I think I'm

737
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.800
gonna take Mariah May. I'm this one's I mean, it's

738
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:20.360
literally flip of a coin for me, because I can

739
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:23.920
see Tony having a feud with Mercedes Monet down the road.

740
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.400
But I think I'm gonna take Mariah May and then

741
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:28.960
making her another main event player in the women's division.

742
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:30.280
So I'll take Mariah May getting the win.

743
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:33.440
I like you, I'm taking the glamor Maria May as well.

744
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.519
I think you don't do this build. You don't have

745
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.599
her win the tournament, you don't have this turn if

746
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.880
if your objective is not to make her a star,

747
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:41.239
and I think it would be a very big missed

748
00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:43.960
opportunity if they don't have her win the championship over

749
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:48.039
Mariah excuse me, over Tony Storm at all in to

750
00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:50.599
really capitalize and solidify her as a big name, as

751
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:52.599
a big stars, as someone to keep an eye on

752
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:55.719
moving forward, So I'm gonna take the glamor of Mariah

753
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.599
May get in the victory and also and win the

754
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.360
aw Women's World Championship. I thought this story line has

755
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:02.639
been very good the length of it. I thought it

756
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:05.760
started out once the turn happened, very very strong. I

757
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:10.079
would say since the turn, it's been a little bit stagnant,

758
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.000
and that's just because that turn was so red hot

759
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:17.360
and amazing that it kind of overshadowed everything else. I

760
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:20.199
really was hoping that it would continue to ascend upwards,

761
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:21.920
and I didn't feel like it went down. I just

762
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.280
feel like it just kind of plateaued and stayed the

763
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:27.760
same the whole way through. Next match, here is Jack

764
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.679
Perry defending the AWT and T Championship in a coffin

765
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.400
match against Darby Allen. There's been a lot of reports

766
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:35.960
about Darby Allen right now Doctor Trey that the expectation

767
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:41.679
he run the Royal Rampage match during Blood and Guts,

768
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:43.920
so he has a title match at AW Grand Slam

769
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.239
at the end of September. There's a lot of discussion

770
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:48.400
right now that he is set for an aw World

771
00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:51.679
Championship title run and that could take place as early

772
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:56.519
as Grand Slam where he wins the championship. I can

773
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:58.960
see him being AW world champion, I don't see it

774
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:02.679
right now, and he is undefeated in coffin matches. There's

775
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.280
reports out there that sing maybe making appearance at AW

776
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.119
all In as well. I'm gonna take Darby Allen to

777
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:09.239
win the T and T Championship.

778
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:13.440
Doctor try see im. This be one of the few

779
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:15.400
ones we disagree on. I think I'm gonna take Jack

780
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:18.559
Perry just because you know they're they're hyping out that

781
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:22.800
Darby's undefeated in these coffin matches. Darby's getting hyped up

782
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.559
for all time. I just don't think he needs the

783
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.039
T and T title, And I don't think you make

784
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:29.599
a big deal about Jack Perry redesigning it if you're

785
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:31.960
gonna take that belt right back off of him. So

786
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:33.719
I'm gonna take Jack Perry getting to win.

787
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:35.519
The only reason why I say that, Dot Tray, I

788
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:37.119
would agree with you if there was no pay per

789
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:38.880
view in two weeks. I would not be shocked if

790
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.480
this match happens at all out and he drops the

791
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:42.639
title back to Jack Perry.

792
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:46.159
Yeah, I mean it wouldn't surprise me either, but to me,

793
00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:51.039
like once again. You're trying to lift Jack Perry up

794
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:53.400
even more so let him win in the biggest event

795
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:53.760
there is.

796
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:58.000
Next match here is Mercedes Manet defending AWTBS Championship against

797
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.239
Doctor Bird Baker d m D Doctor Trey, who like

798
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:01.639
this one man there?

799
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:03.280
Once again, this is a kind of a tricky one

800
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:08.920
for me. Britt just got suspended. Mercedes maybe not worth

801
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:10.719
the money they paid her. So I'm kind of like,

802
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.840
I don't know who the lesser of two evils is.

803
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:16.639
This is like Trump and Harris for me, I don't

804
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:21.000
know which one is worse. So I think I'm gonna

805
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.840
take I think I'm gonna take Mercedes just because of

806
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:27.119
the Camil factor and that could be the excuse as

807
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:29.400
to why Brent loses. So I think I'll take Mercedes

808
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:30.159
Bonet right now.

809
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.639
I'm gonna take Mercedes Monet as well. And I'm gonna

810
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:34.360
use the old trick that we've done here in the

811
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:36.480
history of the Silrito Show, and that was the go

812
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.320
home show on Dynamite. Doctor Burt Baker got the upper

813
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:42.880
hand on Mercedes Monet. So I do feel like Mercedes

814
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:46.599
Bone retains the championship with aw all in and remained

815
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:50.760
the aw TBS champion next match. Here's the Casino Gauntlet

816
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:53.440
match for a future aw World Championship match. Orange Casside

817
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:55.519
as the number one spot, so I think he's the

818
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.159
last one in there. Kyle O'Riley, Mark Briscoe, Hangman at

819
00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:01.800
In Paige Evil Know, even though he was taken out

820
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:03.679
on Dynamite, They've all been announced for the match. I

821
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:05.559
guess seventeen other people are set to be in the match.

822
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:07.760
I think it's a twenty two person match. This is

823
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:12.079
a really fun match, the Casino Gauntlet match, going back

824
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:14.719
to the Dynamites that they've had this match, so I'm

825
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.679
excited for this one. I think Hangman Adam Page wins

826
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:20.039
this match Doctor Trey and wins a future aw World

827
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:23.039
Championship match, which I don't know if it's set for

828
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:25.599
all out or not, but I'm gonna have Hangman Adam

829
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:26.400
Page get the victory.

830
00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:29.280
Here is this hedging your bet for the main event.

831
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:33.320
For all out or the main event for all in? Yeah,

832
00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:36.400
potentially potentially.

833
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.800
Because I'm with you, I'm taking Hangman Page even though

834
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.679
Orange is coming in last, and that you know, typically

835
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:44.400
for me would be kind of like Orange doesn't lose

836
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:48.320
very often so, but I still kind of want see

837
00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:50.880
Hangman Page get back into the title picture because I

838
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.400
think this, this new version of him as a world

839
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:57.559
champion or World Champion contender is a much better version

840
00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:59.880
than the one we had a couple of years ago.

841
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.440
Next match, here is Christ Jericho defending the FTW Championship

842
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:06.840
against Hook in a last chance match for the FTW Championship.

843
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:10.280
If Hook loses, he can no lever no longer challenge

844
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:12.840
for the FTW Championship for as long as Christ Jericho

845
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.159
is champion. Doctor Trey, who do you like in this one?

846
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:16.519
Uh?

847
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:19.280
Well, let's see. I think I'm gonna take Hook just

848
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:23.360
because that's his dad's belt, So I think Tass still

849
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:26.920
actually has proprietary ownership of that belt. So I'll take

850
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:31.119
Hook because otherwise Tas may never get his property back.

851
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:33.360
Yeah, I'm gonna take Hook as well. I don't think

852
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:35.360
Jericho goes in this feud with a young star to

853
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:38.079
put himself over at aw all in and now if

854
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:40.920
he does win and it doesn't make sense, this clip

855
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:42.960
of me should be cut and we'll talk about on

856
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:46.840
next week's show. But I'm gonna take Hook winning back

857
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:50.079
the FTW Championship as well. Next match here is the

858
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:53.199
Patriarchy defending the AW World Trios Championship in a four

859
00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:55.760
way London Ladder match against the Bang Bang Gang, House

860
00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:00.840
of Black and POC, Claudio Cassagnoli and Willer Yuda. This

861
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:04.000
is potentially got to be a show sealer, Doctor Tray,

862
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.320
I'm really hyped for this one. I'm excited to build

863
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:10.519
for this has been pretty decent. Uh. With that said, Ladders,

864
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:13.840
Christian Cage, I'm going to take the Patriarchy to retain

865
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:15.519
the AW World Trios Championship.

866
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:19.079
That's interesting because I've been torn on this one because

867
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.440
I could also see them losing in him blaming kill

868
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:26.800
Switch for it because you know, mother Wayne has possession

869
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:30.719
of the third title. And by the way, is Pac

870
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.800
in the Black Is there still a Blackpool Combat Club?

871
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:35.760
And if so, is PUC in the BCC.

872
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:38.679
He is not, He's not in the BCC. They do

873
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:40.519
still exist. I just we're just I guess we're just

874
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:41.639
waiting for Max to come.

875
00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:45.840
Back, okay, and then I really want to pick the

876
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:50.079
Bang Banggang. So just just out of pure joy, I'm

877
00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:52.239
picking the Bang Banggang just because there's still one of

878
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.800
my favorite things to watch in AW even though House

879
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:57.920
of Black is right below them. So I just because

880
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:01.920
it's all in it's it's whim and Jay White's in

881
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:03.480
the match. I'm gonna take the Bang Bang Gang.

882
00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:06.440
Jay White's actually not in the match. It's Juice and

883
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:09.159
the Guns.

884
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:11.360
Jay White shows. Damn Still, I'm gonna take the Bang

885
00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:14.679
Bang Gang. Just be different, No, Jay White.

886
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:16.440
I guess it's supposed to be coming back from injury here,

887
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:19.360
so hopefully he's back here soon. Next match is the

888
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:21.800
Young Bucks defend the AW World Tag Team Championship in

889
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:24.679
a three way match against FTR and The Acclaim Doctor Trey.

890
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:25.800
Who are you liking this one?

891
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:28.920
I am taking the Acclaimed just because I think the

892
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:32.519
Bucks and FTR already established as top tag teams. The

893
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:36.119
Acclaimed the hottest act in pro wrestling like a year

894
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:39.039
and a half ago, and then kind of fell off

895
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:42.000
because of just the way the show's been booked. I

896
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:43.639
think this is a way to re establish him as

897
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:45.760
a top act and get the tag titles back on

898
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:47.639
the scene. So I'm taking the Acclaimed.

899
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:49.280
See, I thought this was going to be a shocking

900
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.119
mentioned by me, but I'm taking the Acclaimed as well.

901
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:54.239
I think that the forgotten tag team in this match,

902
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:55.679
and there's been a lot of focus on the Bucks

903
00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:57.559
in FTR, and this is a good opportunity for them

904
00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:59.719
to slide in and take the titles away from the

905
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:02.239
Young So I am taking the acclaim to win the

906
00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:05.400
AW World Tag Team Championship again. Then that takes us

907
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:09.840
to the AW American Championship matches. MJF Defense against will Ospray.

908
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:12.719
I'm really looking forward to this one. The build has

909
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.559
been really good. I think everybody is thinking it's gonna

910
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:17.719
be will Ospray in the home country. I'm gonna take

911
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:20.719
MJF to win and retain, and I think he wins

912
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:25.320
and retains thanks to Kyle Fletcher and Don Kallus. So

913
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:26.960
I'm gonna take MJF to win this one.

914
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:31.800
Doctor Try very interesting. I like that pick I was

915
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:35.079
playing on taking MJF. Anyway, I like your storytelling with it,

916
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.519
so it is a little sprided. I'm kind of riding

917
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:39.840
with you on this one. But you know my concern is, now,

918
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:42.559
that's what that'd be the three losses for Ospray in

919
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.199
like just in a short amount of time. But uh,

920
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:48.000
I think it makes sense. I think you have ospray

921
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:50.039
come back and get revenge later on. You got to

922
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:54.400
build up some more reason, uh more obstacles for the

923
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:56.920
for the good guy to overcome here. So I'm gonna

924
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:58.679
take MJF as well.

925
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:00.719
And that takes us to the main out here title

926
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:04.400
versus crew match for the aw World Championship Swerve Strickland

927
00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:06.920
defense against Brian Danielson. Who do you like in this one?

928
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:07.440
Doctor try?

929
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:10.239
You know, the funny thing was when this whole career

930
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:13.039
title thing came up, I didn't quite understand it because

931
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.320
you know, if Danielson loses, I mean Swerves the guy

932
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:20.800
that retired him. I then forgot that Swerves from Washington,

933
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.880
and so is Brian Danielson. So they've had a lot

934
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:25.840
of they have a lot of history from coming up

935
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:30.320
in the same area. I'm taking Swerve. I just don't think.

936
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.480
I don't see why you throw this out there. If

937
00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:35.079
if you're gonna have Brian Anson retained, and then from

938
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:37.840
everything we're reading, like, you know, he's so beat up,

939
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.639
he's he's very limited in the amount of appearances he

940
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:42.800
can do in the ring. Anyway, I think now is

941
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:44.880
the time to go ahead and kind of shut it

942
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:46.559
down for a while and at some point he'll get

943
00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:48.440
back in the ring. I don't care what anybody says.

944
00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:49.840
He's gonna get back to the ring at some point,

945
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.480
but for the time being, it makes sense to make

946
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:56.400
this move. So I got Swerve retaining the title as well,

947
00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:58.960
or maybe not as well. I don't know. I'm I

948
00:47:58.960 --> 00:47:59.679
have Swerve winning.

949
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.639
This is a really, really tough match to call. This

950
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:05.280
is a hard one to call, and I've been going

951
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.440
back and forth about this because the interviews that Doctor

952
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.280
Trey's pointing out, the articles that are coming out there

953
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:13.000
makes you think that Daniel Brian is retiring this Sunday

954
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.800
at Wembley Stadium. That's how he wants to write off

955
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:18.039
of the Sunset. He is set to have surgery. He

956
00:48:18.119 --> 00:48:20.679
is currently working without a contract with AW but he

957
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:24.719
insists that he'll be coming back. Prior to all this,

958
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:27.440
the reports were that Brian was going to come back

959
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:29.320
on a part time schedule, that he was just retiring

960
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:33.039
as a full time wrestler, not completely altogether going out

961
00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:35.199
on the way that he wanted to go. I do

962
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:39.119
believe that Brian Danielson does want to put over young

963
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:42.199
talent and up and coming talent like Swerve Strickland Swerp.

964
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:46.599
Strickland is really on an amazing climb over the last

965
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:48.280
year and a half to two years in AW and

966
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:52.760
it's been very, very fun to watch. However, the factor

967
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:54.480
that plays a role iness to me, Doctor Trey is

968
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:56.960
very similar to how Samo Joe won the championship at

969
00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:01.000
World's End last year over mjf Leave that Tony Kahan

970
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:03.920
wants to put the AW World Championship one way or

971
00:49:03.960 --> 00:49:06.800
another on Brian Danielson. I don't think that they want

972
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:09.039
him to retire on Sunday. I think they want him

973
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:10.639
to work a part time schedule when he can in

974
00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:14.800
twenty twenty five and beyond. I think Brian Danielson wins

975
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:18.719
the match on Sunday becomes the new AW World Championship Champion.

976
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:21.599
But I do think he has a short reign with

977
00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:25.880
the title, and I think that Rain potentially ends at

978
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:29.360
all out with Hangman Adam Paige if that match takes

979
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:30.800
place and that leads us back in the Swerve in

980
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:34.519
Hangman Page or he ends up dropping it at Grand

981
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:37.199
Slam against Darby Allen. I do think it's going to

982
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:39.440
be a short title. Rain. I don't think that this

983
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:41.400
is his last wrestling match that we ever see Brian

984
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:44.599
Danielson wrestle in, because if he is so beat up

985
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:46.559
as he is, then why are they letting him go

986
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:49.000
out there to wrestle on Sunday? Why would any doctor

987
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:51.559
allow that to happen. So I don't discredit that he

988
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:54.079
is banged up. I don't think he's as banged up

989
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:57.559
where his life's on the line. And this is a

990
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:01.719
very tricky situation. So I'm gonna go with Brian Danielson.

991
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:03.480
And the only reason why I'm going with Brian Danilson

992
00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:05.719
Doctor Trey is once again I think Tony Kahn wants

993
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:08.400
to put the championship on him. So we are split here.

994
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:11.920
Swerve Strickland, Doctor Trey has I Brian Danielson, and I'm

995
00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:14.000
really really looking forward to this match on Sunday.

996
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:17.480
No, I'm really looking forward to too. And everything you

997
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:20.400
brought up are great point and those are things I

998
00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:22.320
was concidered because I was like, man, it would be

999
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:25.280
really weird for Brian Danielson to retire and have never

1000
00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:29.440
won a title in aw even from going for even

1001
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:32.719
if it's from full time to part time. So it's

1002
00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:35.599
a valid reason if you're gonna do it make the switch,

1003
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:37.280
but you know, it's just one of these things. It

1004
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:40.760
was like, I don't know. It is a very This

1005
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:43.440
card has a lot of matches on it, at least

1006
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:46.320
that are basically fifty to fifty tossed ups that you

1007
00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:48.880
can see it going either way, which is one thing

1008
00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:51.000
you and I love about pro wrestling is when we

1009
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:54.559
don't know what's going to happen, we love it even more. Yeah.

1010
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:56.559
Absolutely, And that's a good thing that AW has done

1011
00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:59.440
is unpredictable matches heading into a big event. And we'll

1012
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:01.960
be looking forward AW all in as it takes place

1013
00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:03.719
this Sunday, and we will recap and review it for

1014
00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:06.719

1015
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:09.840

1029
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:47.519
Rocket City Championship Wrestling. They've had a big shows past Saturday,

1030
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:50.119
Spartan Championship Wrestling. They got a big show coming up

1031
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:51.920
this Saturday, which I'm hoping to be a part of

1032
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:56.639
foot permitting. But most importantly, just get out there and

1033
00:51:56.719 --> 00:52:01.159
check out your local independent wrestling scene. Because fifty percent

1034
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:04.440
of aw's roster was on the Independence like less than

1035
00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:06.800
five years ago, and then you look at NXT and

1036
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:08.519
a lot of those guys are on the Independence just

1037
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:11.639
three or four years ago. So get out there see

1038
00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:13.800
your local guys before they hit the big time, and

1039
00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:17.159
forget who you are and refuse to sign your poster

1040
00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:18.559
for less than twenty bucks.

1041
00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:20.199
So you go so for all the great things that

1042
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:22.599
support SRTU and spread the word about the stuffro of

1043
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:25.480
the show. Enjoy all in this Sunday. Thank you for

00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:28.039
