I am One After Show. I Am Jeff Pack, joined

9
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.920
Trey Franklin. Doctor Trey has John Moxley brought you back,

10
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:45.960
my friend.

11
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.200
Ooh uh, brought me back. Let me see, having like

12
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.399
a refund. So I brought back, like am I getting exchanged?

13
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:55.880
Brought you back from life to life.

14
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.640
I don't know my evan essence now, like that's an

15
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.719
old reference, but I like John Moxley.

16
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:04.200
He's uh.

17
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.159
I think somebody once called him recently the modern day

18
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:12.439
Terry Funk. So yeah, I'm intrigued. I'm playing along. I mean,

19
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.079
I'm I'm in the game, but I don't know if

20
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:15.680
I'm all in.

21
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.840
So let's talk about it. Blackpool Combat Club storyline is

22
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.480
really taking over aw It is transcending multiple shows, whether

23
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.799
it be Dynamite Collision Rampage. From time to time, they

24
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.079
are really pushing their foot on the gas on this.

25
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.879
There was a report out earlier or late last week.

26
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.000
I should say that the original plans for Brian Danielson's

27
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.560
world title run, which we had heard, was he's got

28
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.480
to win the title all in and then drop it

29
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.439
to Darby Allen at Wrussell Dream Tacoma Hometown Boy, give

30
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.359
it to Darby Allen a run with We had heard

31
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.959
rumblings about that, I think leading into all In, that

32
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.439
that was what AW was potentially thinking about. Maybe it

33
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.400
was post all In. After Danielson won, they obviously changed

34
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.519
it around. Darby lost the title shot at Grand Slam

35
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.159
to Moxley. Moxley wants the title at Russell Dreaman. Now

36
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.599
we're foot on the accelerator with this Blackpool Combat Club storyline,

37
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.360
and the reason why the change happened is because AW

38
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.360
reportedly wants to gain some more interest into the product,

39
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.360
and they're pushing this Blackpool Combat Club storyline to the

40
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.080
forefront to re engage some fans that may be on

41
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.439
the fringe or those that are on I guess life

42
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.479
supporting a way which I think I can almost put

43
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.879
myself in that basket at times. So the question asked

44
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.479
doctor Trey Aw is really trying hard. We cannot deny

45
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.439
that at all. Are they doing a good job sucking

46
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:41.800
you back into their product? Though?

47
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.960
I mean it's got my interest and I think we've

48
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:48.400
talked about it. I think I talked about with you

49
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.400
like one last CO show, like you and I being

50
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:58.360
lifelong wrestling fans, love invasion takeover angles because you see

51
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.240
some alliances you thought you never see. You see some

52
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.840
intriguing matchups you thought you'd never see. Plus there's always

53
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.520
mystery involved, whether it's you know, nWo, who's bankrolling the nWo,

54
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.599
the WCWECW invasion angle, whether it's even like the Ministry

55
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.479
of Darkness stuff, who's the higher power?

56
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.080
Like, we love this type of stuff.

57
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:26.039
It's what makes wrestling fans cross over that storyline, suspension

58
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.520
of disbelief with the athleticism professional wrestling.

59
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:29.919
We love this stuff.

60
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.759
So when something's being done and it is being pushed

61
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.000
to the forefront, yeah, it's gonna get my attention. It's

62
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.759
going to kind of grab me and go, Okay, where

63
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.120
are we going with this? Who's involved? Who are the players?

64
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.319
Where the chess pieces going? So I'm engaged in it,

65
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.680
But like we've said, we've seen them do so many

66
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:53.360
start and stop storyline pushes that it makes you nervous

67
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.639
that this one might fall flat on his face. I mean,

68
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.280
we're probably what six weeks into this. They've done a

69
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.120
good job for the most part, but I'm still waiting

70
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.520
to see some bigger pieces fall into place, because you know,

71
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.319
as much as we love the orange cassidyes in the

72
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.319
Darby Allens of the world, Like when I see a

73
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.560
bunch of good guys outside waiting to fight them, and

74
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.319
I see John Silver all five foot five of them

75
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.000
right there at the forefront, I'm like, is that well

76
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.279
the top three or four baby faces we have, Like

77
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.800
that just kind of seems kind of weak if he's

78
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.040
the guy fighting the good fight. That's like when I've

79
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.160
referenced nWo last week, I was like, you know, that's

80
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.199
the l Dandy, the Silver King, you know, those kind

81
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.199
of guys when the nWo was kind of taking over

82
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.160
WCW that you really didn't care about if they got

83
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.160
beat up and destroyed.

84
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.279
Yeah, you know, it's funny that you mentioned that, And

85
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.079
that was one of the arguments that we had, was like,

86
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.920
these are the baby faces that they chose, And I

87
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.120
was just looking up some numbers that I wanted to

88
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.199
discuss in regards to viewership when it comes to aw Dynamite,

89
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.480
and I came across a tweet from Daniel Garcia. He

90
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.720
had subtweeted Russell Pure on Twitter, which is an account

91
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.399
I always follow for a lot of news notes coverage

92
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.399
of professional wrestling. Highly recommend them to everybody. And it's

93
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.879
just the video of everybody at the beginning of Dynamite

94
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:18.879
waiting for the Blackpool Blackpool Combat Club and Daniel Garcia,

95
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.279
which is something we talked about in the show, and

96
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.680
Doctor Trey just mentioned subtweeted that and said, quote, say

97
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.959
what you want about this group, but we're the ones fighting,

98
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.120
And then he could put in quotes, but what about

99
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.480
dot dot dot question mark another quote, whereas dot dot

100
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.399
dot question mark, that's a question for them. They should

101
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.800
care more. I like that Garcia is addressing that on Twitter,

102
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.319
but that's what they should address. Storyline wise, it well

103
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.360
like have Daniel Garcia walk in the hallways, he passes

104
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.639
by sort of Strickland swerve of why aren't you joining us?

105
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.079
Like what do you? I thought you were mister Elite wrestling.

106
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.360
You know they're doing that right now with the elite,

107
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.680
and you're kind of seeing the young bucks teasing, going

108
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.839
back and forth like they want to help. I think

109
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.800
Nicholas Jackson had another line. He's been like these this

110
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.160
guy for subtle lines during this entire thing. He's like,

111
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.120
should we go help? Like you hear or maybe it

112
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.079
was Matt, I don't remember which one. I'm pretty sure

113
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.800
it was Nick, but anyway, you hear them say should

114
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.240
we go help? And I think the camera cut out

115
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.879
and Jack Perry's the one that's being like, no, no, no, no,

116
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.439
does let it go? But that is something that dismissing

117
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.519
the storyline, like I like the top Flight, I like

118
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.000
the Dark Orders doing this, but up until this point,

119
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.560
why should I give a damn? And then you've got

120
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.639
Private Party threatening to split up if they lose their

121
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.680
tag team title shot. And they're the ones that are

122
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.759
kind of in the forefront of all this with Dani

123
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.480
Garcia along with Orange Cassie, like those are some of

124
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.439
the recognizable names. It's basically not a who's who, It's

125
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.879
a bunch of people that typically get some time on rampage.

126
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.519
Lord love them, longtime people in aaw like the butcher

127
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.160
I saw the other night, But you know Captain Sean

128
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.040
Dean Lord love him, but I'm not thinking he's going

129
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.600
to be defending aw's hon or over the BCC. And

130
00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.759
to me, Doctor Trey, and we do this a lot

131
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.560
with the Invasion Angles. We mentioned it in the description

132
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.839
of it. Yes, we love Invasion angles and professional wrestling,

133
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.639
but sometimes I feel like it gets to be so

134
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.560
repetitive that it loses a little bit of luster, because

135
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.800
I think you can make a case back in April

136
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:19.319
that the Elite storyline was a takeover of AW, and

137
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.360
then they're redoing it again but with a different group

138
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.879
this time, so that's a concern. I'm gonna sound like

139
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.160
an old head here, but this, to me, Doctor Trey

140
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.480
reminds me so much of the way WW handled the

141
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:40.600
nWo angle. It's a bunch of mid tier, not your

142
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.160
top talent stars defending the honor of the promotion while

143
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.519
the top talent stars are nowhere to be found and

144
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.439
hopefully get integrated into it soon. This is one of

145
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.839
the closest early stage nWo storylines I could remember in

146
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.360
some time. I mean, it really really mirrors it, and

147
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.480
we really don't have justification as to why the BCC

148
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.120
is doing it. Other than the fact that they're like

149
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.319
second tired of all elite wrestling the way that it's gone.

150
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.839
But there are some holes in this right now. It's intriguing,

151
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.439
but there are some holes in this. And because of

152
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.319
past practices, whether it was who is behind the Devil

153
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.879
Mask or are the elite taking over? Aw, there is

154
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.920
some optimism and pessimism when it comes to as E

155
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.480
as a fan, Should I get really invested into what

156
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.600
they're doing right now? Yeah?

157
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.639
You actually mentioned a great thing there when you're talking

158
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.120
about the nWo and all thats of in the elite

159
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.759
and this whole thing with the BCC and the elite.

160
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.360
If you remember when the nWo took over, the Horsemen

161
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.360
were still there and they were kind of the heel

162
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.840
faction and you.

163
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.000
Didn't it was them in like the Dungeon of Doom.

164
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.080
Yeah, and you didn't know where their allegiance was going

165
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.879
to fall, like were they going to side with the

166
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:52.799
NW or are they going to stick out for WCW.

167
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.279
That's kind of where we're at with this storyline as well,

168
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.600
where where does the elif fall in? But you know

169
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.919
it is questionable because I mean, at least when the

170
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.840
nWo first kind of came in, there was stinging Luger around,

171
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.799
and then you had the Harlem He's so there were

172
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.360
still some of the big, the top guys. But this

173
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.200
is literally, I mean, I guess you can call Darby

174
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:19.559
Allen a top guy in the company. Think Orange Cassidy's

175
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.840
upper mid card, you know, top of the mid card,

176
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.000
you know, food chain.

177
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.240
Daniel Garcia is up.

178
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.000
There a little bit too, But everybody else, I mean,

179
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:32.120
it's like the BCC against aew Dark for the most

180
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.679
part here, Yeah, I mean, there's no there's no Rickochet,

181
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.440
Like Ricochet has nothing going on.

182
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:39.919
Why is he not involved in this?

183
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.679
Well he's going off for Takashka.

184
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.759
Okay, But still, like if if darb I mean, if

185
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.639
if Daniel Garcia can fight MJF on one side, you know,

186
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.720
half heartedly, that fuse kind of a little bit over

187
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.480
because we moved MJFF and Cole, but you got Garcia

188
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.240
over here. Private party is challenging for tag Belts and

189
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:58.679
they can still be involved in this.

190
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.039
Why can't ricks sh they do both sides?

191
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:01.600
You know.

192
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.039
Why can't FTR, who's doing nothing, you know, be involved.

193
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.759
Why can't the outrunners be involved? Why can't we see

194
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.559
some more of these top you know, upper upper mid

195
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.759
card moorderline Maine event talents get involved. Now once again,

196
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.519
the BCC's only got four people. If you camorn a five,

197
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.120
it's five people against the entire roster. That's why it

198
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.399
does give you very much early nWo vibes because so

199
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.960
far those five people are beating the crap out of everybody.

200
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.080
So it does make you a little nervous, but it

201
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.919
does have those shades of NW And especially if we

202
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.639
get you know, Seae McMahon or Ted Debiossi to show up,

203
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.159
then we'll we'll be really right there.

204
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.240
I think that's like the thing that to the sea

205
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.600
mcman point, Like, that's the thing that I'm really like

206
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.440
banking on right now because outside of anything that's going

207
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.840
to shock me surprise me, like making a holy crap,

208
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.679
I can't believe this happened. This to me is just

209
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:02.639
a solid storyline to help build the next wave of

210
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.840
top stars in AW. Obviously, right now the focal point

211
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:11.000
is Orange Cassidy. That is the focal point. It would

212
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.840
but I would be under the impression right now that

213
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.320
Orange Cassidy is going to be the title contender to

214
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.440
John Moxley at full gear in late November. Like, that's

215
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.960
the direction things are going. They're working on building Orange,

216
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.519
They're working on building Darby Allen, maybe Daniel Garcia. Like

217
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.440
that is the point of this storyline. And that's great,

218
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.600
and it's it's engaging, but you gotta you gotta do

219
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.960
these little things that make me go, man, this is

220
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.840
this is intriguing. I think there are some intriguing things

221
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:45.679
about the storyline. The Orange Cassidy. Everybody wants him to

222
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.799
be a leader, but he doesn't see himself as a leader.

223
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:49.480
Every time he gets in with the best in the ring,

224
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.759
with the BCC, he becomes a changed person. He doesn't

225
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.799
really want to do this, but they keep like taking

226
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.080
shots at his armor, taking out Chuck Taylor. And you

227
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.480
saw his reaction at the end of dynam I thought

228
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.559
was really good. I'm a big Orange Cassidy fan and

229
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.679
believer in him. The other thing is, and I only

230
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.840
noticed this on X the next day, and I did

231
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.720
not notice this during the actual viewing of Dynamite when

232
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.799
I was watching it on Live on Wednesday night, is

233
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.000
as I was more focused on Claudio Wheeler. DA puts

234
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.240
the steel chair on Chuck Taylor's ankle, which we all

235
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.360
know his careers would presume to be over. He's now

236
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.159
working backstage and his ankle is the reason why puts

237
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.840
it on the ankle for them to smash it. Claudio

238
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.360
takes it out, puts the chair on Chuck Taylor's neck,

239
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.639
and Wheeler Youda is going back to this conflicted person.

240
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.200
He's like like freaking out a little bit, putting his

241
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.399
hands on over his head. They obviously smashed the chair

242
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.639
over or close the chair shut. With the stomp on

243
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.320
Chuck Taylor injures his neck, and Wheeler da is very,

244
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.960
very conflicted, And I wish commentary picked that up a

245
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.480
little bit more. I don't know if that is supposedly

246
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.600
supposed to or supposed to be an easter egg for

247
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.759
us to notice and then discuss and be like, hey,

248
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.440
Wheelers not fully on board with all this right now,

249
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.840
but they're not. Like I wouldn't notice if it wasn't

250
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.480
for X or the next day. I was too focused on, uh,

251
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.080
you know, Claudio doing this thing. I did not notice Wheeler.

252
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.240
And that is the point where like commentary should potentially

253
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.279
say something like, hey, does Wheeler look conflicted right now?

254
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.799
Those are some subtleties that that I'm digging right now,

255
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.679
Doctor Trey. Outside of that, I like the vignettes. I

256
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.879
like the stuff that's starting on Dynamite and Rampage and Collision.

257
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.360
I like the weird, crazy music. I like where they're

258
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.960
putting them out in the desert and riding in the

259
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.720
pickup truck. The riddles of John Moxley. Sometimes they go

260
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.440
a little bit too far off the range for my liking.

261
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.360
But those are some things that I'm like, Okay, this

262
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.480
is good. Can I can I get behind it? I'm

263
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.759
still like kind of dangling on my foot above the

264
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:56.519
pool a little bit.

265
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.440
Yeah, when you mentioned some of John Moxy's is going

266
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.200
off the rails, all I can member is that he'll

267
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.600
run when he had the gas mask. Yeah, Like, Okay,

268
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.159
there was some meandering ramblings there, and that was again

269
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.720
like who else would be a really intriguing higher power

270
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.759
for this group? And I'm like, wouldn't be really awesome

271
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.200
if they revealed that Renee Puckhead is the person behind

272
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:17.919
this whole takeover?

273
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.080
Yeah? It was me, Tony was me all along.

274
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.080
It was me all along, Marina, Like Roderick Strong's like

275
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.679
right there with his wife now too, you know, but yeah,

276
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.480
like I'm enjoying it. I like the way they're shooting

277
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.080
some of this stuff. I like some of their placements,

278
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.440
Like it's not always right at the beginning, it's not

279
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.639
always right at the end, but there's always some kind

280
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.399
of impact, which then makes you want to watch the

281
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.840
entire show to see when it's going to happen, which

282
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:45.279
is smart on their part. That's one of the things

283
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.600
I've knocked them about for the betterment of four and

284
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.440
a half years is placement of stuff on the show,

285
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.120
because it is a television show at the end of

286
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:57.399
the day. But yeah, the Wheeler stuff, I caught that

287
00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:58.879
cause I was like, oh, yeah, I remember Wheeler was

288
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.799
in Best Friends, and that's why I think he would

289
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.919
be conflicted. But you know, right now you got this

290
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:10.399
is Trent hurt or just not being used right now.

291
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.279
We really haven't gotten full yeah.

292
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.320
Because we saw this on a Trent and Don Kallis

293
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.519
and then Trent disappeared, and I think the question mark

294
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.360
meant where is he?

295
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.559
We don't know where he went, but to.

296
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:28.759
Me, it's still you're you're needing that next person on

297
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.799
the baby face side to get involved. And Swurst tied

298
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.000
up with Hurt Syndicate, Slash Business, slash LLC. I don't

299
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.960
really know what their name is right now, you know.

300
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.120
So you got Osprey and Fletcher tied up. Adam Cole

301
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:49.360
now has this whole United Kingdom uh a disputed Kingdom.

302
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.519
The thing, you know, whatever it is with m JF

303
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:53.039
So like.

304
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.120
You Yeah, one minute he says I've got to cover

305
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.879
the next minute, undisputed Kingdoms.

306
00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.759
Out the next week, you know.

307
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.279
And and Adam Copeland still her the Blackpool Combat Club

308
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.360
are not gonna be the house of Blacker if you

309
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.240
thought for baby faces buddies calling out Adam Colet so like,

310
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.960
I don't really, I mean, it's just you have a heel.

311
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.159
Faction and and the purpose of this and you can.

312
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.000
Go back to the old, the old uh wwf uh

313
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.519
oh what was that show they had where they had

314
00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:22.159
the Legends of the Ring.

315
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.279
Thing uh at the round Table?

316
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:25.240
Yeah?

317
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.720
And National Wrestling Yeah.

318
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:30.720
And but you know, Kevin Nash said the purpose of

319
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.519
the nWo was to build baby faces.

320
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.559
And that's the.

321
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.919
Purpose of any heel group is to build baby faces.

322
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.320
And now you have a heel faction that is borderline

323
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.559
the cool kids, much like the NBO was but this

324
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.120
is your chance to build up baby faces, and they're

325
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.159
starting it with you know, their pillars, so to speak.

326
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.159
But we also need some meat, we need some of

327
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.080
the With the top guys get involved in this, I

328
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.720
think that's when you'll see it come to full fruition.

329
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:02.039
But right now, I mean argue, your top five baby

330
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.359
faces in the company are off doing other stuff. You know,

331
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.039
maybe Darby's exception, but really, I mean when you look

332
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.799
at the other the Swerves and the Ospreys and the

333
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.400
Ricochets and the O'shay's and the you know whatever, they're

334
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.799
all off doing other things and kind of ignoring this

335
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.000
whole BCC thing. And then with Jack Perry keeps stopping them,

336
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.359
does that somehow put Jack Perry.

337
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.640
Into the BCC at some point too?

338
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.759
If if he's the one that keeps the elite from

339
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:31.400
getting involved and we find out that maybe it's Jack

340
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.279
Perry behind.

341
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.920
All of this, oh god, yeah, that would be like

342
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:37.839
my mind would be blown if it was Jack Perry

343
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.960
and Shane McMann. It was basically be everything that I

344
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.799
don't like. So should it have been? Like I dig

345
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.920
that they're trying to establish some new top level talent,

346
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.559
and I think the ones that they're identifying here is Orange, Cassidy,

347
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.480
Darby Allen, and Daniel Garcia. They want these guys to

348
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.680
be elevated from the storyline, and I'm totally down and

349
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.440
dig it with that. But I think the one thing

350
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.000
that we're having our trouble with, because we keep going

351
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.759
going back to it, Doctor Trey, is should they have

352
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.960
started this all out with a very well established babyface.

353
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:09.400
You can make a case that that was Brian Danielson.

354
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.480
He was put on the shelf, but should have someone

355
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:18.640
else who was more established, whether it be Swert of Strickland, MJF.

356
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.160
Jay White, whoever. Should they have been the ones that

357
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.200
carried the flag to begin with, and then maybe they

358
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.000
passed it down the line to Darby, Orange, Daniel Garcia.

359
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.640
See, I think I'm okay with this with the way

360
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.880
they've done this so far, because with the start, because

361
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:40.359
of the fact that you know it's Moxley, it's Danielson,

362
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:43.480
you have the Wheeler turn involved there. I'm fine with it.

363
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:47.359
What I didn't like was they didn't really have I mean,

364
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.640
you had a little bit of the Darby stuff, a

365
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.960
Darby losing the title shot, but like there wasn't anybody

366
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.759
really in place to kind of jump it up to

367
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.400
the next level. I mean, you literally ended the career

368
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.440
of Brian Danielson. That's a pretty big thing, and your

369
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:05.720
follow up is Garcia and then and taking out Chuck

370
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.839
Taylor like that feels like a drop off to me.

371
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.880
So I felt like they should have built upon it,

372
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:13.480
and instead they kind of it kind of went down

373
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:17.400
a little bit on who they're going after, because going

374
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.839
after Danilson is kind of like you know, being uh,

375
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:22.799
you know, your eating your own. It wasn't really like

376
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:24.799
they were taking out an aw guy. They were kind

377
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:28.599
of taking out one of their own guys. So I

378
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.240
wish they'd had somebody else in line to take up

379
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:35.559
the flag that was maybe a little higher on the

380
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:37.799
food chain than what we're getting right now. Like to me,

381
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.480
this is kind of like, I guess the appetizer before

382
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.240
we get to the main course. I just don't want

383
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.720
my stuffed kept mushrooms to be too slimy that I

384
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:48.400
don't really I lose my appetite.

385
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.640
So speaking of programming, speaking of wanting to keep us

386
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.839
locked in on dynamite rampage collision. This is the main

387
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.799
storyline of all the wrestling right now? Is it getting

388
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.160
us invested, is it keeping us around? And how are

389
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.200
they building the rest of the show out? And I

390
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.920
think that's kind of a little bit of the concern here.

391
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:09.279
So I look at viewership for AW Dynamite on Wednesday

392
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:12.960
night and it was six hundred and thirty seven thousand

393
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.319
viewers tuned into AW Dynamite last night. Eighteen to forty

394
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.240
nine age group was at zero point one nine rating

395
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.359
NXT the night before seven or and two thousand, so

396
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:29.240
more viewers obviously tuned in overall for NXT the eighteen

397
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.079
to forty nine point one six, so a little bit

398
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.400
lower than AW Dynamite, but more viewers tuned into NXT,

399
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.880
and usually a year ago at this time those numbers

400
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.160
and prior to all this were reversed in AW Ninamite

401
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.440
was typically like in the eight hundreds. So they've seen

402
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.480
a considerable drop off, and they're doing the storyline, they're

403
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.599
changing their stuff up, they're giving it a shot. I'm

404
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.519
noticing that they're acknowledging that the current climate of all

405
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.160
lee wrestling is not good. There are plenty of photos

406
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.279
in social media that notice at any point where it's

407
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.599
the building is half full. I saw, I saw a

408
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.880
picture from and video of last night's AW Dynamite, and

409
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.480
I mean it wasn't it wasn't even like three quarters full.

410
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:16.039
I mean it was really really bad. They were very,

411
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.839
very scattered all over the place. People are pointing out

412
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.640
the Adam Cole, mjf rogerck Strong segment where there was

413
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.079
like a lack of reaction at the end of it,

414
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.960
and they are absolutely right. You could have heard a

415
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:31.559
pin drop in that that is concerning AW is pushing

416
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:34.720
tickets for upcoming events during their show a lot more

417
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.200
or at least a lot more noticeable than I could

418
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:38.960
ever remember prior to that. It would just be like,

419
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.319
you know, we have some upcoming events on AW tick

420
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.559
ticks dot com. Go down below and you could scan

421
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:46.599
the QR code and join us. In a couple of

422
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.160
weeks now they're running like thirty second spots on Dynamite

423
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.559
Collision Rampage to tune in, and you're also noticing that

424
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.519
they're promoting upcoming match and for future matches for future

425
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.640
Dynamites Rampages Collision. The amount of times I heard about

426
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.920
Shelton Benjamin Versus of strigling a week from tonight on

427
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.079
Friday Night Dynamite. I think they added another match as well,

428
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.279
Private Party in Young Bucks, which I like. That's well good.

429
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.279
That goes back to like the old days of AW.

430
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.279
They're promoting matches two weeks out. I think first Atlanta

431
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.400
Morra and Mercedes Monett or No Camill is going to

432
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.880
take place in a couple weeks, Mariah May and Anna Ja.

433
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:24.839
It's got to take place in a couple of weeks.

434
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.799
So they're really doing this. They're acknowledging this from a

435
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.799
storyline standpoint, they're acknowledging this from a promotion standpoint. Is

436
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:36.559
it desperate, Doctor Trey or do we applaud them for

437
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:37.160
doing this?

438
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:38.759
See?

439
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:40.400
I applauded for this because that's something else that we

440
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.240
had brought up like a month ago, was the promotion,

441
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.279
Like you don't see the AAW guys out on any

442
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.440
of the mainstream media stuff. You don't really see other

443
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:54.920
than the occasional Facebook posts about upcoming shows, like you have.

444
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:55.599
To go to the website.

445
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.559
Most wrestling fans, I hate to say this is going

446
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.839
to sound crass, but are kind of lazy. Just let

447
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.079
me know when you're gonna be in my town at

448
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.359
some point where I don't have to go to I

449
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.160
don't have to go on your website and search when

450
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:09.119
you're gonna be in my area.

451
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.599
Let me know when the upcoming shows are.

452
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.640
That was always a staple of w CW, Nitro and

453
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:16.440
even WW back in the day, was Hey, next week,

454
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:18.400
we're gonna be here. In two weeks, we're gonna be here,

455
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.160
in three weeks, we're gonna be here. Tickets are still

456
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:22.400
on sale, and you'd be like, oh crap, this show's

457
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:23.039
been pretty good.

458
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:25.039
I'd like to go check it out in person.

459
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.240
You know, you kind of got to hit a lot

460
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:32.000
of wrestling fans over the head with information, like, you know,

461
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:35.119
the diehards, Yeah, the ones who watch being the elite

462
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:38.720
and we're watching Dark and you know everything else, and

463
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:41.200
the ones that's stuck around have stuck around for rampage,

464
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.400
Like those people are always going to be in the note.

465
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.079
But your casual fans just kind of want it laid

466
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.799
out in front of them, simple and easy when you're

467
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:50.400
gonna be out there. I think it's a good move

468
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.160
on their part, because, hey, if you're telling me Swerve

469
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.440
and Shelton's and you know, next week, do we get

470
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:58.920
the debut of Bobby Lashley also liked, might have to

471
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:02.640
tune in to see that. If you're a Chris Statlander

472
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.519
fan or a Camille fan, and you know that they're

473
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.079
gonna be going in.

474
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.039
Those are two big, strong women fighting it out. Hey,

475
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.960
i'mot to check that out.

476
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:13.240
So I think it's smart on their part to announce

477
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:15.799
stuff like that, you know, Anna Jay and Mariah May. Hey,

478
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:17.519
I think I may I might even sit by the

479
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:18.440
bay and.

480
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:19.119
Watch this play.

481
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.960
These are all good things for them on the marketing

482
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.319
end to kind of put it out there instead of

483
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.440
just you know, waiting around. I mean, we still see

484
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:31.680
raw do that Like, Hey, next week, we're gonna you know,

485
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:33.960
during the show next week, you and I head to

486
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.279
head toe to toe. You know, stuff like that that's intrigued.

487
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.359
It's creating that hook to keep the viewership around and

488
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.440
have them coming back for more.

489
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:44.640
So I like what they're doing. I like that they're trying.

490
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.079
The one thing that I noticed on this past week

491
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.799
loop of when we last spoke about aw programming, Doctor Trey,

492
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.000
is if you want me to tune into your show,

493
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.079
and you want me to be invested, if you want

494
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:01.000
me to pay my hard earned money to sit down

495
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:03.200
in your show. When you come into my town and

496
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:09.359
support aaw you cannot run multiple matches with jobbers like

497
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:12.599
you just can't. I'm pretty sure. And everything kind of

498
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.599
blends together when it comes to a W programming, which

499
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:21.799
sometimes is not a good thing. Brian Cage and Lance

500
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.759
Archer had a tag team match against two jobbers. The

501
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.160
House of Black had a trios match against three jobbers.

502
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:33.480
There is nothing outside of the Action Andretti Christ Jericho

503
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:35.960
match that makes me ever think that I want to

504
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:37.599
sit down and tune in and watch the House of

505
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.319
Black destroy three job jobbers or Brian Cage and Lance

506
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.319
Archer beat up two jobbers like that to me does

507
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.720
not do anything for me. There's other talent on the roster,

508
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:51.759
and maybe they're doing this doctor Tree because of the

509
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.920
babyfacenario with the BCC angle that can be better utilized

510
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:59.440
in the spot like make it worth my time, make

511
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:01.839
it worth my my interest. Do you want to do

512
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.319
a jobber match here and there? Fine, but to do

513
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.799
it on Rampage, Collision and Dynamite This past week multiple times,

514
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:11.799
I'm like you, what are they doing? I mean, they

515
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:14.680
have a roster of one hundred and fifty people. Why

516
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.720
am I getting this jobber match? And especially with a

517
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:21.000
tendance down and viewership down, that to me in twenty

518
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.680
twenty four doesn't make sense. And you and I grew

519
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:26.319
up on nothing but jobber matches on television, and we

520
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.000
may disagree on this, but I'm like, at this point

521
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.000
when I watch Raw, NXT and SmackDown, there is value

522
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.720
to nearly every single match that takes place on one

523
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.599
of those three shows in WWA, and that is amazing

524
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:43.920
and hard to come by. And why is an AW

525
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.039
doing the same thing? So that is a problem that

526
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.240
I've had with AW programming as of land. I'm like,

527
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.759
why are they doing all these jobber matches knowing viewership

528
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.200
and ticket sales are down?

529
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.400
Sorry, my wife's laughing. I think we just invented the

530
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.799
first drinking game. One answer to you, I think you

531
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.359
say jobber like twelve times perfect.

532
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:03.079
Perfect.

533
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.519
So now we have a jobb or drinking game. So

534
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:07.160
anytime we throw out the word jobber, take a.

535
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.000
Drink, ye chop squad, does that count.

536
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.119
A little bit?

537
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.039
Uh So when it came to those squash matches, see

538
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.720
I went in there when squashed out jobber, I didn't

539
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.880
mind the archer Cage one because that was one of

540
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.599
the I mean, they're they're gonna try to build them

541
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.519
up as a tag team, so you got to try

542
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.799
to show them just doing like crazy ridiculous power moves

543
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:31.480
to get fans going, oh crap, that these guys should

544
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:35.680
be pretty cool. House of Black though, Like we don't

545
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:39.039
need a trio It was a trios match against three

546
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:41.519
no names to lead to a Buddy Murphy singles match.

547
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:44.680
Makes no sense there if that worst case there, put

548
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:46.880
Buddy Murphy and getting in Leo Russian there and let

549
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:50.000
Buddy Murphy beat Leo Russia then challenge Adam Cole to

550
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.480
have them do a jobber match like that, like doesn't

551
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:55.960
make sense to me. It's just kind of a waste

552
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:57.599
of time. We're just have Buddy Murphy come out and

553
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.839
call out Adam Cole backstage somewhere. It's kind of a

554
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.920
waste of time. Like I get it if you're trying

555
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.160
to establish something new for a kind of a new

556
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.599
character or a new team or something like that, But

557
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:12.960
what's this established team and they've been around your show

558
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.400
for two three years.

559
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:16.319
It's it's it's just.

560
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:19.400
Complete waste and those that's when you get frustrated. Like

561
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.359
Raw will have them occasionally, but if they do it,

562
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.480
it's because they're trying to build up a new character,

563
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.640
new team something like that. You know, think when bron

564
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.559
Breaker debut or when you know, Goother or came to

565
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:33.799
the main roster, some of those guys, you know, it's like, oh,

566
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:36.200
we're having them beat up some note name guys and

567
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.319
some Kira tizauas of the world, So going to kind

568
00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:41.839
of get them over, Like that's that's what the bottom

569
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:44.359
of your roster is for, is to be the filler

570
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.240
to sell their ass off for the big monsters, to

571
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:50.599
make them look even more impressive. So it's to me,

572
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:52.599
it's just like it's almost like when they do some

573
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:54.960
that like that. The House of Black one really pissed

574
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.559
me off because I'm like, did somebody like not make

575
00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:59.279
it to the venue in time and we just had

576
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:01.400
three guys and catering. We're like, hey, you guys got

577
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:02.839
there and fight House of Black real quick.

578
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:03.680
Uh.

579
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:05.759
It just it just doesn't make sense to me for

580
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.359
those guys Archer and Cage or as I saw Shane

581
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:14.359
Helms call them on Twitter, Cage against the Machine, which

582
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.480
I actually dug that name. I didn't mind that one,

583
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:19.599
but House that House of Black one was just just

584
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:21.400
ridiculous and there's no need for it.

585
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.960
You know what's wild is that AW was the ones

586
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.720
that put so much thought and effort from one show

587
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:29.880
to another back when it was just dynamite, And maybe

588
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.240
that's the case here. Do you think AW is just

589
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.559
overall creatively exhausted, Doctor Trey?

590
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:39.839
I think they have kind of spread themselves too thin

591
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:41.680
where there's not.

592
00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:45.559
Kind of a direct building program.

593
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:47.799
You know, you see in w W you have NXC,

594
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.720
the guys get built at NXT, they come to the

595
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.920
main roster, they get a chance to establish themselves, see

596
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:54.960
if they're if they can get over. If they can, great,

597
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.359
we're gonna keep pushing you. If they can't get over, okay,

598
00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:58.880
down to the you know, kind of the middle to

599
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:02.119
the bottom of the roster. There's not really like a

600
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:07.039
set roadmap for AW establishing talent. And then plus, when

601
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.319
you're putting guys on two and three different shows a week,

602
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:14.200
you're going to run out of stuff for them to

603
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.519
do a times that you know makes sense and keeps

604
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:20.400
the creative fresh. Otherwise it's just you get kind of

605
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:23.000
burned out, Like Okay, well, House of Black has been

606
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.119
all over the map, you know, in their time on

607
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.759
the roster, they've been healed, they've been babyfaces. You had

608
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:33.440
the great stuff with you know, Anna Jay and oh

609
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:34.160
what's her name?

610
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:36.279
Sky sky Blue?

611
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.799
That was that was some fun stuff, you know, not

612
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:41.599
Hannah Ja, it was sky Blue and Julia Hart.

613
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.640
Julia Hart.

614
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.200
Yeah, they have some great stuff there and then they

615
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:46.799
kind of it's kind of falling off the map. And

616
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:48.799
then you see one week you see Brody King fighting

617
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.519
with Darby Allen and and shaking hands with him. But

618
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:54.319
then you know, Buddy Matthews and they comes down and

619
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.920
calls it Adam Cole, who's another baby face? Like, I

620
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:00.519
don't think they have a set game plan all the time.

621
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.240
Where I think that's where WWE is always ahead of them,

622
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.359
is that there's always a plan in place for stuff.

623
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:08.799
I think AAW's lacking in that foresight.

624
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:11.400
If you told us a month ago that Chris Stallion

625
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.279
or Adam Cole would be babyfaces on the AW roster,

626
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:17.079
I think we would have like been like, you're crazy.

627
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.920
But that's the world that we live in right now.

628
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:23.200
The amount of back and forth on babyface to heal,

629
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.359
Heal the babyface and no rhyme nor reason anymore. It's

630
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:31.799
like this really hokey, herky jerky type of creative. It's

631
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.519
been bad for aw really, it really has been bad.

632
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:40.880
And I like that they're acknowledging some things, but that's

633
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:43.279
like one thing you need to tighten up. There is

634
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:48.440
pleased and do not have any more squash matches on

635
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:54.000
your programming, Tony Kahn, sincerely, Jeff and Doctor Trey speaking

636
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:58.039
of storylines that are progressing rather well. Doctor Trey is

637
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:01.200
on SmackDown right now. Also carried It's over to Raw

638
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:05.319
on Monday. I wrote down this note after watching SmackDown

639
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.680
where I was like, Okay, I want to talk about

640
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.480
this on the show because as of right now it's

641
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.960
not making sense. And then Monday happen, I'm like, oh,

642
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:17.480
it's starting to make sense. I was going to sit

643
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.680
here and ask you does the Roman reigns Jimmy Uso

644
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.680
storyline with jay Uso make sense so far? And I

645
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:28.519
thought coming out of SmackDown really didn't because why would

646
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.440
jay Uso listen to his brother after they had a

647
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:36.079
few rustle Mania match Why would he give him the

648
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:39.599
time of day? And they have that backstage vignette with

649
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:43.680
Jimmy and Roman arriving to the arena where Jay smiles

650
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.799
at his brother, turns to Roman and straight face and

651
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:48.720
then Roman says, you know, we're all proud of you,

652
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:52.359
and you know, Jay says, no yeat and then walks away.

653
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.680
And he had a great segment with Solosaka to start

654
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:57.839
on the show, but it was like, why is Jay

655
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.319
involved at any point right now? Then you fast forward

656
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.599
to Monday and the New blood Line costs Jay Usa

657
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:07.519
the Intercontinental Championship, with bron Breaker now retaining that championship

658
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.160
for a second reign, and I'm like, oh, We're We're

659
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:14.440
getting somewhere right now. So I have answered my own

660
00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:17.039
question here based on what we're seeing, but I want

661
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:18.960
to get your thoughts on this. From what we've seen

662
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:22.000
right now with Roman reigns, Jay Uso and Jimmy Usso,

663
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.920
is the storyline that is building towards some sort of

664
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.759
rekindling reunion of the original blood line to take on

665
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.440
the new blood line? Is it making sense so far

666
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:34.880
based on everything that got Jay Uso away from the

667
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:36.319
old blood line.

668
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:41.240
For me, not really, because I got the stuff on

669
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:43.079
SmackDown made sense to me, Like he.

670
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.480
Didn't really want to interact with his brother, you know

671
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.440
that much. He didn't want to be a part of it.

672
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:49.400
I didn't even understand why he was on the show

673
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.160
because he's the Interconinal champion on Raw, so why is

674
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:52.880
he on SmackDown?

675
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:53.920
So that bothered me.

676
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:58.200
The Solo stuff, I was like, Okay, I mean everybody

677
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.960
points out Jimmy and Jay are twin, but Solo is

678
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.119
his little brother. So I mean I could get why

679
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.119
he'd be torn, but then to come back on Raw

680
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.280
and have the new bloodline costs in the arcndent title

681
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:13.039
and that be the reason why he decides to join

682
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.639
back up with Rome and Jimmy doesn't make any sense

683
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:19.360
to me because then that means to me, the Intercontinental

684
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.440
title is more important to him than anybody in his family.

685
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:28.239
So I'm a little just off centered here with this,

686
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.320
Like it just doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

687
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:34.719
For Jaden, Now go, yeah, you know what they caused

688
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.440
me an oc intercondinalent title, so I'm back with you guys,

689
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.760
Like that just doesn't seem like a thing somebody would

690
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.159
do for family. You know, if he could say, if

691
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.760
he comes out and says, look, I'll help you guys,

692
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.800
because I owe them, but don't forget I owe you guys. Also,

693
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.480
if he does it like that, that'll hook.

694
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:53.960
Me a little bit better.

695
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.320
But if he just, you know, pretends like all is forgiven,

696
00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:58.159
then I'm gonna have an issue with it.

697
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.239
So I get your points. And I think that this

698
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.199
is like the first storyline in WI in sometime where

699
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.800
there's a little bit of criticism that can go its

700
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:11.320
way because of the things that you're saying, because there

701
00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:13.039
is part of me that's like, okay, I could see

702
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.480
it making sense, but there's part of me that's going,

703
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:19.119
why does Jay Uson want to integrate himself in this

704
00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:23.239
entire thing? Like what's it matter to him? I would

705
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.360
have liked to see in a little bit of a

706
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:27.159
deeper build going to it. And I think I'm coming

707
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:30.599
from the position Doctor Tray. Today is October twenty fourth.

708
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:34.199
I'm thinking that this is leading towards wargames in about

709
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:35.880
a month's time. We've talked about this for some time,

710
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.239
and maybe I would have liked to seen a bit

711
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.519
of a little bit of a longer stretch here. Friday

712
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.400
SmackDown will be intriguing. If Roman Jimmy and Jay and

713
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.440
the new Bloodline are all there to see if this

714
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.960
carries forward again. If there is no pickup on SmackDown,

715
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:51.960
that'll be disappointing because okay, what was the point of Monday.

716
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:56.480
I tend to believe that there will be. I don't

717
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.880
know if they have enough time to try to convince

718
00:35:59.920 --> 00:36:03.599
it one right now dot true, because I can't theoretically

719
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:07.800
think of a situation where I'm like, Okay, they got

720
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.199
me on this one, they got me on the Union.

721
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.559
I'm pumped, I'm psyched. This makes sense other than like,

722
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.639
and this is gonna sound so extremely lame, but I

723
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:22.800
guess Jimmy and Roman need to almost apologize to Jay

724
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.960
or maybe this brings back Paul Hayman. There has to

725
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:31.119
be some sort of acknowledgment that what took place previously

726
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:33.639
was a mistake. They made a mistake, and at the

727
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:35.599
end of the day, they're bonded by blood and they're

728
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:39.119
the original bloodline and they need to defend their families honor. Like,

729
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:41.840
I don't know if what I'm positioning you can get

730
00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:44.000
us there. But this is some a little bit of

731
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.079
uncharted waters for WWE right now, because they've got a

732
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:50.639
storyline that fans can really you know, like you and

733
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:54.280
I criticize basically, so.

734
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:57.519
I got a little bit a fancy booking idea that might.

735
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:00.679
Let me ask you you have a jobber involved?

736
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:03.840
Uh kind of.

737
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:09.119
He did lose recently, so SmackDown comes out new blood

738
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:15.559
lines in the ring. Jay comes out by himself basically, hey,

739
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:17.440
you guys, coustmond your cons I don't I want some

740
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:21.039
revenge you know, I want to fight youah blah blah blah.

741
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.960
They'll basically say, hey, you know me and you know Solo,

742
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:26.719
me and Jacob or you me and Jacob Fato against

743
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:29.039
you and whoever you want to bring whoever you want

744
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.079
to be your partner, thinking that's gonna be Jimmy, think

745
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:35.639
it's gonna be Roman. Whatever goes backstage, Jimmy approaches him,

746
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:37.719
Jay's like, no, I don't need your help.

747
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:38.280
I got this.

748
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:42.199
I don't trust you guys that his mystery partner, Sammy's ain't.

749
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:46.239
So he gets Sammy and Jay against Solo and Jacob,

750
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.840
and then Sammy becomes the voice of reason and tells Jay, look,

751
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.199
at the end of the day, those two guys are

752
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:52.800
your family.

753
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:55.000
We need to patch this up.

754
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.719
And then that you kind of go from there where

755
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.679
it's Sammy and Jimmy or see me Sammy and Jay

756
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.920
kind of aligning with them early on, like kind of

757
00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:08.320
rekilling the alignment with them, because Sammy's the voice of reason.

758
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.440
Sammy's the one who I mean, seriously, how many times

759
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:12.239
has Ko turned against him over the years and Sammy

760
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.800
Dewai always ends up forgiving him. So Sammy would be

761
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.719
the one to kind of pull all this back together

762
00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.960
as the voice of reason because you know, he's still

763
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:23.880
the honorary OOZ true.

764
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:27.400
That is true. So I like it. I like that

765
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:32.639
there's some fantasy booking involved there. It's strange because this

766
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:36.840
is the Bloodline storyline has been so good, right Doctor Trey,

767
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.400
that the split that took place, whether it be Sammy,

768
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.079
whether it be Jay, Jay and Roman and Jimmy and

769
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:45.119
all this stuff, it made always made a ton of

770
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:48.320
sense getting them all back together, even when take back

771
00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:51.039
one like Jimmy was the one that convinced Jay to

772
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.519
turn on the Bloodline and then Jimmy turned on Jay

773
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:56.280
and reunited with the blood Line. That was a part

774
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:59.480
of the Bloodline storyline that never really made a lot

775
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.440
of sense. And I think every time that there is

776
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:05.719
a rekindling or reunion. The fans will want to see it.

777
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:08.679
They will pop, they will go absolutely crazy. But from

778
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.280
a storyline perspective, I think we sometimes creatively puts themselves

779
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:14.960
in a corner where it's a little bit tough coming out.

780
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:18.639
Of Yeah, I mean, but at the end of the day,

781
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:23.800
like for us, nostalgic kind of wins out in the

782
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:25.760
sense of we want those We want see those four

783
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:29.480
guys back together at some points, so we'll suspend our

784
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:32.719
disbelief on the story just for the sake of the

785
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:33.639
good that comes out.

786
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:34.880
I mean, you know that.

787
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:36.639
What you just said reminds me of I hate to

788
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.880
cut you off. Go ahead, because I just saw this

789
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:40.599
recently online. I don't know if it was like an

790
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:43.519
anniversary of the moment or something like that, but from

791
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.280
like two thousand and two to two thousand and five,

792
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:51.880
Triple H and HBK had feuds back and forth over time.

793
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:54.920
On Monday Night Raw in two thousand and six, they

794
00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.480
reunited as Degeneration X, and everybody didn't give a shit.

795
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:01.320
They didn't blink an eye because they wanted se DX reunited.

796
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:03.599
That's what this reminds me of. For what the example

797
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:05.360
you're trying to say were where it's like, yeah, we

798
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:07.360
forget all that. I love the nostalgic act.

799
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:10.199
Yeah, I mean, but they I think they kind of

800
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:14.519
reunited over their common enemy. Yeah, common enemy. And you

801
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:15.880
could kind of do the same thing here where the

802
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.880
enemy of my enemy is my friend, where Jay is

803
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:22.639
now an enemy of Solo, Roman and Jimmy are an

804
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.239
enemy of Solo. So you know, you kind of put

805
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:26.480
that in the riverw I mean, we saw that with

806
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:29.320
the nWo. We were front NW a lot with the BCC,

807
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:32.440
But how many times do we see you know, the

808
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:34.800
giants get kicked out and then rejoined.

809
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:36.360
I mean Randy.

810
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:38.960
Savage got turned on a bash at the beach and

811
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:43.039
never once came after really came after the nWo afterwards,

812
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:44.880
and just all of a sudden, he's like, huh, yeah,

813
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:46.280
I'm I'm team Hollywood.

814
00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:47.119
That's fine.

815
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:51.880
You know the finger Poke of Doom reunited wolf Pack

816
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.519
in Hollywood. Yeah, I mean, we've but it was for

817
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:56.280
the sake of like, oh yeah, let's put the band

818
00:40:56.280 --> 00:41:00.280
back together, so to speak. So we will suspend commons

819
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.920
and storytelling at times if it makes us feel.

820
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:04.280
Better about what we're seeing on TV.

821
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:08.800
So if you end up with Sammy and Jay against

822
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.239
say Toma, Tonga and Togolo for the SmackDown titles, and

823
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.840
you got Jimmy and Roman and Solo and Jacob going

824
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:17.519
at it. Well, then the four of those guys and

825
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:19.239
the four of those other guys they should all hate

826
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:21.800
each other and it kind of blends together, so there

827
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:24.960
are ways of kind of patchworking it. And then once

828
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:27.960
you get to war games, I mean, once again, the

829
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:33.159
ultimate trump card that nobody's referenced, Solo takes out Rakishi,

830
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.440
which then puts Jimmy and Jay back together to go

831
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:37.960
after the little brother for taking out their dad.

832
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:40.840
That would be interesting, That would be interesting.

833
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:45.639
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tries me to peace maker between three boys.

834
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:48.400
And he did it for the Rock, Yeah, exactly.

835
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:51.800
Solo did it for the Rock, the Rock's final boss yep,

836
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:53.960
when he asked, why did you take out dad? I

837
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.239
did it for the Rock. That would be actually.

838
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:59.800
Money really for us, for us old guys, we would

839
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:03.480
all get it. The younger fans will be like, what, huh.

840
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:06.559
Did it for the Rock? You don't the entire thing

841
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:09.800
that as we're talking about this, something that just came

842
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.960
to my mind here is, you know, adding Jay adding

843
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:17.639
Sammy into the storyline. The thing that we're tending to

844
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:20.920
forget here is they don't they don't need this, Like

845
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:23.880
this is kind of beneath them. They're they're big stars

846
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.960
right now. Like is it a step back for Jay

847
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.800
and Sammy. Let's just talk about Jay because we don't

848
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:32.000
know about Samy, But is it a step back for

849
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:34.559
Jay to be involved in a storyline like this?

850
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:38.519
Character wise?

851
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:43.079
Probably a little bit, because I don't know if the

852
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.280
New I can't I haven't really been able to gauge,

853
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:49.519
like we knew when the og bloodline was over with

854
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:52.559
the fans, like we knew, like they're like the fans.

855
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.199
Everybody hated them, but they're still throw up the ones

856
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:59.559
you know you're over. Then, I don't know if people

857
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:02.119
look at the New bloodline and you can say they're

858
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:06.559
over with the audience like I think people I don't

859
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:09.280
know if people are if Solo's actually over with the

860
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:13.079
crowd has the top villain on the show. I think

861
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:16.840
people are fascinated by Jacob Fatu, which then makes it

862
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:20.599
hard to boo him because the dudes of freak athletes

863
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:25.079
and then Toma Tonga and Togoloa like for diehard fans. Yeah,

864
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:26.800
we know who the Girls and Destiny are. We know

865
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:30.119
what a great tag team they are. Does the WWE

866
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:34.599
audience understand what they have? I don't know if that

867
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:39.000
group is perceived on the same level as equal opposition

868
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:41.920
to it a reunited og bloodline would be, or even

869
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:45.079
Jay Uso on that level, because Jay, we know is

870
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.800
super of the fans because I mean, hell yea shirts

871
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:50.159
are like the number one or number two sellers on

872
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:51.159
WWE right now.

873
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:51.760
It's crazy.

874
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:56.079
So it probably is a step backwards, but for the

875
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:59.800
sake of elevating family, I think it's the right move

876
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:00.239
for him.

877
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:04.599
Interesting. Interesting what storyline are you digging right now? The

878
00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:06.440
most of professional wrestling.

879
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:12.800
Probably BCC just because the mystery involved as to who

880
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:14.000
the person is behind it.

881
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.800
Well, that's what we're assuming, right Yeah.

882
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:19.360
And then well, I mean he's still his his that's

883
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:20.440
our hope.

884
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:22.199
That's our hope. Uh.

885
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:25.920
And then he does have vague allusions to something somebody

886
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:27.320
else being involved.

887
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:33.320
Does he I can't tell? Sometimes with mox like, what

888
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:34.960
what the hell did he say? I mean, he's making

889
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:37.400
Lord love him and God rest his soul, is making

890
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:39.960
some of the Brave White Stuff look sound like something

891
00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:40.559
I could follow.

892
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.079
I am intrigued now by by the way, you mentioned that,

893
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:46.559
I am intrigued by saying Final Testament why six.

894
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:48.519
Yeah, I'm happy they're back on TV.

895
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:53.239
Miss and Miss being a darker version of Miss, Like

896
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:56.239
it's kind of a weird thing. But I'm like, we've

897
00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:59.199
never seen Mis go like but horror Hollywood.

898
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:02.440
But that and Xavier Wood stuff is really good.

899
00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:04.360
Yeah, I mean it.

900
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:06.719
Plus i mean how cool, like like when our Truth

901
00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:08.639
by the way, I know we're kind of ex side step,

902
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:10.760
is our Truth coming out to help out the New Day.

903
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:13.360
I'm like, why have we ever seen our Truth with

904
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:16.079
the New Day? Like that just seems like a match

905
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:19.800
made in Heaven to put those guys together, because the

906
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:21.960
comedy from those guys will be great. But this new

907
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:28.639
dark Exavier Woods is still a cool twist. But yeah,

908
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:31.000
I'm really I just want Carrying Cross. I'm a big

909
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:33.440
Carrying Cross fan. I'm just wanting to see something good

910
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:36.800
for Carrying Cross. You know, like he really has anything,

911
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:39.119
had anything really good. He had the Strap few, the

912
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:42.360
Strap match with Drew McIntyre when he first came back.

913
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.679
Outside of that, the NXT run and really nothing else

914
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:50.880
has been really aviodated. But I love cultish type characters,

915
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:52.920
so I'm on board with this.

916
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:55.000
I thought you you were all on board with the

917
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:57.559
Gladiator costume carrying cross at one.

918
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:01.320
Time, only because I was hoping for a wardrobe malfunction

919
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:02.440
from him or Scarlett.

920
00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:05.199
Interesting, fair enough, fair enough for me. It's it's the

921
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:07.760
Kevin Owen stuff. But that's I mean, that's easy. I'm

922
00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:10.679
I'm like, Okay, where is this going. The Kevin Owens,

923
00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:13.480
Cody Roads, Randy Orton stuff right now, I think is

924
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.679
really good. And that's an offshoot of the stuff that

925
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:18.119
took place with the Bloodline. I'm like, this is a

926
00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:20.800
little bit more modern day. We're really well thought out,

927
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:22.760
and I like how it's playing on television right now.

928
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:25.239
So that's that's mine. But that's probably because I'm a

929
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:26.320
huge Kevin Owens fan.

930
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:28.480
Wait, I was, as I was gonna ask you a

931
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:30.599
question by this, who does Randy who do we see

932
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:32.760
Randy Orton talk to on SmackDown this week to get

933
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:33.440
the Magic.

934
00:46:33.159 --> 00:46:35.880
Crown jewel against Kevin Owens.

935
00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:38.960
Yeah, because Nick All just said it's above me.

936
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:41.840
That's what he's talking about, right.

937
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:44.199
Yeah, that's what everybody thinks.

938
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.679
But who do you think you talk to, Sean Michaels.

939
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:48.079
I don't know.

940
00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:50.159
That's the thing is like, do we see Triple H

941
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.360
on SmackDown and a Triple Ah Randy orton segments?

942
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:57.280
Yeah, I think yeah, that would be that would make sense.

943
00:46:58.199 --> 00:46:59.719
I think that's who they were alluding to. It would

944
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:01.880
be really funny if it like, hey, can I have

945
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:04.199
this match and they like the camera pans and it's

946
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:08.639
it's it's I don't know, the returning Reggie or something.

947
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:13.679
They it's it's ak he goes to Stephanie instead.

948
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:16.119
M Yeah, they have they have a history. But I

949
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:18.760
thought that was I thought that basically was alluding to

950
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:19.360
Triple H.

951
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:21.320
Yeah, I know, but I just I was just like,

952
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.159
but I mean, I know, we call him like, we

953
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:27.480
call him by his title on TV, but we haven't

954
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:31.000
seen him actually come out and make a match happen.

955
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:33.559
So that would be a different take on it.

956
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:35.119
That's so that's why I was wondering if they were

957
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:37.159
gonna go bra because I'll forget.

958
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:38.920
Well, they're playing it up as if it's a real

959
00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:41.920
thing that they're banning, like Kevin Owens from being in

960
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:45.039
the arena and and doing these these videos even though

961
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:46.639
they did air the video on SmackDown.

962
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:49.440
Yeah, but and Ko is a Triple H guy, so

963
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:52.000
you know it's it's and everybod kind of knows that

964
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.280
because that was the first uh you know Triple H

965
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:58.000
really with the Triple H helping Ko win the title

966
00:47:58.039 --> 00:47:59.800
overset that one time in the in the Fatal four

967
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:01.519
Way talking.

968
00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:04.000
About Triple H sidebar here before we get into Halloween Havic.

969
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:06.159
Anybody ever think it's weird that they referred to him

970
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.039
on television now as Paul Triple H Levec.

971
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:10.239
It freaks me out with it when every time I

972
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:11.519
hear so you say, I gotta go talk to.

973
00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:15.239
Paul, Yes, that that freaks me out because Triple H

974
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:17.840
means hunter Hurst Helmsley. So if it's the full name,

975
00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:20.639
is he Paul hunter Hurst Helmsley Levec.

976
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:25.280
Which sounds so fancy, But then I gotta go talk

977
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:29.679
to Paul, I think and Hayman and Hangman, So it

978
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:31.119
throws me off every time.

979
00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:33.239
It's the old school fan me. They're not like, here's

980
00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:38.039
Mark the Undertaker Callaway, which, by the way, Undertaker interviewed

981
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:39.400
a former president.

982
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:41.280
Yeah, it's crazy.

983
00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:42.320
What a world.

984
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:44.079
And by the way, nobody ever says, I gotta go

985
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:45.440
talk to Higginbotham.

986
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:47.960
True, Yeah, I gotta, I gotta go talk to Mike

987
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:55.519
who Michael hbk Hickebottom here he is? Uh? Or yeah? What?

988
00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:57.599
I don't even know what Booker T's real name is,

989
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:02.000
so Booker you're right, yeah, Booker T. Huffman.

990
00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:04.360
I guess, yeah, I think I think it's a Booker T. Huffman.

991
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.320
You know, it's just little things are driving nuts, like

992
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:11.639
Lexus King can't be known as Brian Pillman, Charlie Dempsey

993
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:15.480
can't be known as Charlie Regal, but we're gonna call

994
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:16.719
Paul triple h Levec.

995
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:19.679
It's like, yeah, but Saban and Shelley get to keep

996
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:20.079
their names.

997
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.480
Yeah, they do everything. They get to keep everything. Which

998
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:26.599
any thoughts there? Do you like the the tagline on

999
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:31.840
their on their Titan Tron of rat a tat tat sure?

1000
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:35.719
I mean what what, I don't know. I'm happy for them.

1001
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:37.920
This is this is great. I mean, these this is

1002
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:41.239
long overdue that they got the opportunity in this position,

1003
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:44.559
and it's it's it's got me excited for the Tag

1004
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:48.800
team division at least on SmackDown. But yeah, I mean

1005
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:51.440
they're they're getting a lot of pub on on a

1006
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.039
return and on coming to w w A and rightfully

1007
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:55.639
so I'm digging at Doctor Trey.

1008
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:59.239
I thought the crowd reaction though, was really light.

1009
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:04.440
I mean, they're not like extremely well known.

1010
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:07.239
Right, yeah, did they have I can't remember.

1011
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.280
I know they should have done vignettes like explaining who

1012
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:13.360
they were beforehand, I think, but and not just the

1013
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.159
weird video did that didn't show them at all?

1014
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:18.440
Like show some you can get TNA to give you

1015
00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:19.079
some highlights.

1016
00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:22.039
Oh, absolutely you can, especially with the relationship right now.

1017
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:26.760
So but I know we had the American Wolves in

1018
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:32.239
NXT did like one time? Did we get I thought

1019
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:34.639
there was another tag team that they fought like the

1020
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:36.719
week but like because who was who was the champion

1021
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:37.000
of the time?

1022
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:41.039
Was that time splitters out of match or two because

1023
00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:42.199
Shelley did?

1024
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.679
Who did? Who did? Who was it that the Wolves wrestled?

1025
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:49.599
There was uh Connor and Victor the Ascension?

1026
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:50.639
The Ascension.

1027
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.280
I thought there was another tag team at the time

1028
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:55.360
that they had the week before.

1029
00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:59.519
I know the Brisco has got a couple of dark matches.

1030
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:02.280
Sworn it was the it was MotorCity. I thought Motorsman

1031
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:04.599
Machina has had one match in NXC beforehand.

1032
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:08.159
No Shelley wrestled with Kashida. I don't believe Saban ever

1033
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:10.840
wrestled in w A.

1034
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:12.320
All right, but either way, like, I'm happy for them.

1035
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:14.400
I'm glad they're getting the chance. I'm looking forward to

1036
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:15.960
seeing them in d I Y because that should be

1037
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:18.400
a hell of a tag match. That's a borderline dream

1038
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:21.280
tag match, so that'll be really, really, really fun.

1039
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:25.199
But uh, you've got a lot of talented tag teams

1040
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:30.800
starting utilizing them, like Anderson and Gallows are on there, Dall.

1041
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:34.159
Mysterio and Dragon lead team up in the number one

1042
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:36.800
Contenders tournament because they've never seen before, but they should

1043
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:37.760
be number one contenders.

1044
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:40.360
I hope that that's leaning towards war Raiders Doctor Try.

1045
00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:42.800
I am too, so I'm not gonna lie.

1046
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.159
Lots of good stuff, And I'll just add one more

1047
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:47.199
thing on the MotorCity machine guns, because we talked about

1048
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:48.920
AW at the top of the show. I do think

1049
00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:52.559
it does speak some volumes here, that MotorCity machine guns.

1050
00:51:53.440 --> 00:51:55.199
I mean, it just seemed like a foregone conclusion. We

1051
00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:59.920
go to a w Stephanie Vakor went to we those

1052
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:02.559
some things that, like people are noticing that maybe my

1053
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:04.760
career isn't going to be as postful in AW as

1054
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:05.800
it would be in WWA.

1055
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:11.400
Well, I still think for a lot of wrestlers, especially

1056
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:15.719
longer term like longer tenured wrestlers and wrestlers from overseas,

1057
00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:18.920
WW is still the place to go. Like, it's still

1058
00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:22.400
the dream to have a wrestle media match. So somebody

1059
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:24.840
like Stephanie Vaccor who grew up watching ww and what

1060
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:27.920
grew up watching WRESTLEMDIA has it and hurt like lursy

1061
00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.599
machine guns. I mean, those kids grew up on WWE,

1062
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:33.000
so it makes a lot of sense the younger kids,

1063
00:52:33.239 --> 00:52:34.440
maybe AW.

1064
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:35.480
Is the place for them to go. But to me,

1065
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:36.719
it's like if.

1066
00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:39.039
You're a tenured veteran and you're like, man, I got

1067
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:41.719
one less good run in me, I gotta take my

1068
00:52:41.719 --> 00:52:42.760
shot at WWE.

1069
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:45.440
Yeah. These are two guys in their forties and they've

1070
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:48.039
been wrestling for over twenty years and here they are

1071
00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:51.159
finally making their shot in w WA. Modersoton machine guns.

1072
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:55.239
Let's preven predicted NXC Halloween Havoc taking place to Sunday

1073
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.639
from the Giants Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. First match on

1074
00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:00.599
the car here, Doctor Trey's an ambulance match against Ridge

1075
00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:03.159
Holland and Andre Chase. This is a hard one to pick,

1076
00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:05.119
but I'm gonna go with Andre Chase because Chase h

1077
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:07.000
has just been destroyed by Ridge Hall in the last

1078
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:07.880
two to three months.

1079
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:09.840
Yeah, I'm taking Andre Chase as well.

1080
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:12.039
I just feel like you'll see, you know, something like

1081
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:15.280
Duke will be driving the ambulance and you'll see, uh

1082
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:19.400
thea Hale in a nurse's outfit. I just the ambulance

1083
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.360
match means like anything goes kind of thing, So I

1084
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:25.320
can see Chase Young getting involved to all get their revenge.

1085
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:28.159
On Ridge Holland. Chase Young from the New Orleans Saints Young,

1086
00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:29.159
I mean Andre Chase.

1087
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:31.599
Sorry, yeah, Chase Young. I've I've been playing a lot

1088
00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:34.079
of football on my on my PS five, so yeah.

1089
00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:37.360
Yeah, he could definitely spear like bron Breaker does Calonne

1090
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:40.760
Jordan defense against either Fallon Henley, Jacy Jane or Jasmine

1091
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:44.000
Nicks in a Spinner's Choice match for the NXC Women's

1092
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:46.199
North American Championship, Doctor Trey, who do you like in

1093
00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:46.679
this one?

1094
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:50.559
I got momentarily confused when I saw Spinner's Choice because

1095
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:52.360
I was like, wait, are we putting the spinner on

1096
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:53.679
the North American title for the women?

1097
00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:55.519
Like that would be horrible.

1098
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:58.519
They just and it's just that I a jeweler. They

1099
00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:01.280
just pick which spinner they select. That's the match.

1100
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:05.679
I'm taking Kilani because I think I don't know what

1101
00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:07.360
her new name is, but her old name was Delta.

1102
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:09.360
I think she gets involved to help her out in

1103
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:10.079
this match.

1104
00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:12.639
I'm going to go with Fallon Henley. I think you

1105
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:15.159
gotta do some with this. Is it Fatal Attraction that's

1106
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:18.719
their tag name now, yeah, trio name. I'm going to

1107
00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:20.480
go with Fallon Henley in this one because I think

1108
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:24.280
they could use a little bit of some firepower for

1109
00:54:24.320 --> 00:54:26.639
their group moving forward. So Doc Tray is Kolanie. I'm

1110
00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:28.400
gonna go with Fallon Henley to be the winner in

1111
00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:31.760
this one. Next match is Roxane Perez and Cora Jay

1112
00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:34.519
taking on Julia and Stephanie vakor Doctor Trey. Who do

1113
00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:35.280
you like in this one?

1114
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.360
I guess Julia and Stephanie vack Or just because of

1115
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:40.280
the tag match, the titles and not on the line, so

1116
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:41.760
I think they can afford to get a win to

1117
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:43.920
kind of boost them up. This is gonna be fun though,

1118
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:46.480
because I'm really interesting how this Korra Roxan thing works out,

1119
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:51.679
because if I remember correctly, they were partners and then

1120
00:54:51.800 --> 00:54:54.719
feuded and then kind of made up and then got hurt.

1121
00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:58.639
So I'm gonna say Julia and Stephanie Bucker though, because.

1122
00:54:58.400 --> 00:54:59.920
They kind of need the win to kind of pump

1123
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:00.440
them up.

1124
00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:03.960
I like you, I'm gonna take Julian stephaniebau Chorus as well.

1125
00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:08.000
Tony D'Angelo defends the NX North American Championship against Obafemi

1126
00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:11.400
and a tables, ladders and scares match. Uh, this is

1127
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:13.800
a tough one to call. I'm gonna go with Obafemi

1128
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:14.760
in this one, Doctor Trey.

1129
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:16.880
Uh.

1130
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:20.679
I think I'm taking Tony d to retain, and I

1131
00:55:20.679 --> 00:55:22.960
think you see Obafemi move up to the heavyweight title

1132
00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:24.039
in the next month or two.

1133
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:27.840
And then finally the Devil's Playground match for the NXC Championship,

1134
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:30.079
Trick Williams defense against Ethan Page. I'm gonna go with

1135
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:30.880
Trick Williams.

1136
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:33.039
Yeah, I'm going with Trick Altar because I think Trick

1137
00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:35.320
and Oba is the next big feud for Trick, So

1138
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:36.559
I'm gonna take Trick retaining.

1139
00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.440
So there you go. We will recap and review NXC

1140
00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:43.199
