00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.240
am one after the show. I
am jad pect who joined every single week

5
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.799
my coast one only, Doctor Trey
Franklin, Doctor Trey, did the footage

6
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:48.000
change your mind? My friend?
I mean, I still think Bigfoot's real.

7
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.840
I'm sorry the footage of the young
bucks. No, no lockness monster?

8
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.079
Oh yeah, see the so lockness. I don't believe it. But

9
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.480
I did come across a trailer for
a movie that's all about sasquatches, so

10
00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:08.000
that that's a documentary. Probably I
think so, but uh not sure.

11
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.959
But I'm all in on Sasquatches.
Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough.

12
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.719
Welcome, everybody, Welcome to this
week's this thist rialto show more on

13
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.359
Sasquatches, lockness, monsters, and
Bigfoot later on in the program. Lots

14
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.560
to cover here, obviously, AW
Dynasty this Sunday on pay per view,

15
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.159
Doctor Trey, we need another long
pay per view in our lives. I

16
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.239
was confused. I thought Dynasty was
was an eighty soap opera. You know,

17
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.040
I did not know if I was
going to reference that, but I

18
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.120
think you and I have dated ourselves
because now we're gonna I was gonna do

19
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.159
a Linda Evans reference, but I
was like, nobody will get to Linda

20
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.519
Evans reference. That would definitely bury
it at that point. So yeah,

21
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.159
no, it's a reference that I
was like, hmm, I wonder if

22
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.400
anybody connects with the old soap opera. It was like, probably not,

23
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.920
maybe doctor Trey, maybe coming the
couple of people that are over what thirty

24
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.480
five? Is that fair? Even? Did? I think? I asked

25
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.479
my wife if she knew it was. She's thirty six, and she was

26
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:09.599
like, I've heard of it,
but I don't know what it is.

27
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.840
I mean, I'm thirty seven.
I did not watch an episode. My

28
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.719
grandmother when she would watch us is
more of a days of our lives than

29
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.560
I think? Was it? A
Different World? Was another soababera. No,

30
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.039
you're thinking of another world, another
world, that's what it was.

31
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.120
I think a different World was like
a ninety sitcom Cosby Show spin off.

32
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.240
That's what it was. Yes,
yes, yes, so I'm blending my

33
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.639
young adolescent TV viewing here all in
one you know, programming where I'm actually

34
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.280
covering professional wrestling, which I watched
as a young adolescent as well. So

35
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.439
yeah, I did not know if
the Dynasty reference would connect with a lot

36
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.080
of our fan base and our listeners, but hopefully for those over forty.

37
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.000
Is that fair? If you knew
what the show Dallas was, you knew

38
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.039
what the show Dynasty was, Okay, fair fair enough? So if you

39
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.319
watched it at Nicked Night or like
soap TV, I guess this is for

40
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.039
you guys. So yeah, yeah, those are those references. But yeah,

41
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:16.680
we were going one weekend like a
normal life without a wrestling pay per

42
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.759
view, and now we're going back
into another weekend with another wrestling pay per

43
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.560
view, and then I think there's
a week weekend off without wrestling pay per

44
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:30.080
view, and then Backlash in France
in early May is the following weekend.

45
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:37.039
I got admit doctor Trey and we
talked about like trying to get your life

46
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:42.199
back together everything like that following WrestleMania. I shit, you not everything that

47
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.680
I was trying to get caught up
on, like when it came to leisure

48
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:51.280
stuff, television shows, podcasts,
what have you. I legitimately got caught

49
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.639
up this morning. So Thursday morning, as you and I record this Thursday

50
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.840
night for a Friday download, is
when I legitimately got caught up from everything

51
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:04.639
that I was behind on thanks to
WrestleMania weekend. Wait, so now I'm

52
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.520
curious because so, like, I
guess, I guess I don't watch that

53
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:15.159
that much television. I guess anymore
because I like, I just found the

54
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.519
show Ballers like I had heard about
it. So I'm like, all right,

55
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.839
I'll watch this for a little while. And I just watched all season

56
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.120
one last night. So how many
shows do you have for like must see

57
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.000
viewing that you were behind on?
So what? Like? So what I

58
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:34.160
prioritize is the weekly wrestling shows,
so from Raw, NXT, Dynamite,

59
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:42.959
SmackDown, Rampage, Collision. I
will always prioritize for the podcast. The

60
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.480
other stuff that I and I will
say that that's from the wrestling side of

61
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.279
things. What I have prioritized as
well, which adds to this, is

62
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.120
watching Yankee games. I always will
try to. I'm trying to watch more

63
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:02.160
baseball. Now I've got dot TV. Shout up. My brother who has

64
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.120
t mobile and like gave me his
account, so thank you to my brother.

65
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.879
Try to watch a lot more baseball. So then the secondary stuff that

66
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.600
I try to get caught up on
is NXT level Up. I still watch

67
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.120
that legitimately because I like to see
like people before they make it on the

68
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.720
NXT level So like Jadeveon and Evans
who's been on NXTV lately. I always

69
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.480
remember Tiffany Stratton before she started having
her beginning vignettes, and Trick Williams was

70
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:38.800
even getting a lot of love on
NXC level up Dark Side of the Ring.

71
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.480
I've been watching love that show.
I don't know if you've been watching

72
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.720
it. Doctor Trey highly recommend the
A and E biographies for w A.

73
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:56.399
I'll watch. They just brought back
Most Wanted Treasures rivals from we and I

74
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.279
will from time to time try to
watch some new Japan stuff as well.

75
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.360
So it's like the secondary wrestling watching. And then there's obviously the stuff that

76
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.959
I watch with like my wife,
whatever we're trying to watch on a binge,

77
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:14.319
watch with Disney Plus or say big
fan of the show The Challenge,

78
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.120
which would probably be a podcast in
itself, a MTV Challenge. It's like

79
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.199
the fifth sport in America. So
those are the things that I watch.

80
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.920
I hopefully that didn't. You know, I give everybody my TV guide right

81
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:29.800
there. So I was curious because
being you know, you're I guess you

82
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.319
guys are kind of out of the
honeymoon phase of marriage. You know,

83
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:36.360
we have we've been together for thirteen
years, so yeah, yeah, but

84
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:43.839
you're also newly newly wettish. You
know. I didn't know if yours and

85
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.240
your wife's viewing habits started to have
now started to trump some of the wrestling

86
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.319
stuff where she was like, look, I know you watched WrestleMania, but

87
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.199
we got three episodes of The Bachelor. We catch up. I do know

88
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.519
what I do. Not That is
like, okay, so she's got her

89
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.439
shows that she watches, whether it
be The Bachelor or Dance the Stars of

90
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.879
American Idol, that type of stuff, and then that would be the other

91
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.759
side of that would be all the
wrestling. So I think she always enjoys

92
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:13.000
that I watch wrestling because she can
get caught up on her stuff. Gotcha,

93
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.279
gotcha, by the way, So
the funny thing is about either show

94
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.920
ballers obviously started the Rock sat down
and watched it, and my wife goes

95
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:25.319
Oh, that's the that's Doulay Heel
from Psych. I love Psych, and

96
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.439
so that is what hooked through watching
Ballers with me last night was because there

97
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.560
was the guy from Psych in that
show. Naturally, naturally when people love

98
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.480
that show. I have never watched
Psych, but I've heard that shows great.

99
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.680
I've heard that and like Suits is
like the Mussy shows. It's weird

100
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.959
because it's so I know we're sidetracking
in the toevision, but it's really big

101
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.160
on Netflix right now because like now
will have all the old USA shows,

102
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.439
White Collars, Suits. They're actually
doing a spin off of Suits. I

103
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.000
think it's coming out next month as
well. But those shows are really good.

104
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.600
But yeah, no, Psych.
If you love just like fun comedies,

105
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.720
like sitcom comedies, is a great
show to watch, and that has

106
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.360
been your fun sitcom comedy with Doctor
Trey and Jeff Beck. Let's switch gears

107
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.600
to professional wrestling, something that I
wish was a sitcom with some of the

108
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.759
decision making that aw has been making
as of late. We're coming off of

109
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.480
a dynamite from last night as we
record this Thursday night, handing a Dynasty

110
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.560
that was really good, very solid, great crowd, great opening, speech

111
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.279
from John Moxley the week prior,
I think is being discussed as one of

112
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.960
the worst dynamites of all time from
several different viewpoints, whether it would be

113
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.039
the matches that they had, the
segments that they had, or more importantly

114
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.960
the airing of the aw all out
backstage footage. So I don't know if

115
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.799
we mentioned this or not in the
podcast, but last week we literally delayed

116
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.120
our recording because I was watching.
By the time it lined up, I

117
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.679
was watching the aw all Out footage
and at that point dot Com Troy had

118
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.559
not seen it, so I figured
we will talk about it a week later,

119
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.639
watched it, had my quick thoughts, rewatched it again, had very

120
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.960
similar thoughts. Do not know where
Doctor Tray stands on this, but obviously

121
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.519
everybody knows the backstory. Ciampunk had
his interview with Aaron Halani on The MA

122
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.720
Hour. Gave the first account of
anything from Brawl Out, what happened in

123
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.840
All Out with Jack Perry, what
have you? First time we had heard

124
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:31.200
anything with all this ndabs and professional
wrestling is filled with backstage drama stories.

125
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.360
I mean literally, they have a
show called The Dark Side of the Ring

126
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.679
because of stuff like that. So
we were desperate for it. AW decides

127
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.840
that they're going to air the footage
get some eyes on it. They make

128
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.879
that announcement on collision during WRESTLMANI a
weekend. I've seen the footage, Doctor

129
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:54.000
Trey. I assume you have seen
the footage. Yeah, I mean,

130
00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:00.840
first and foremost terrible move by AW. Okay, I guess I should say

131
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.320
from a before standpoint, before we
see anything good move because people want to

132
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.440
see it, they get to bump
the ratings bump. People will tune in

133
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.559
airing the actual footage, and what
I saw and cmpunk's account just being confirmed

134
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.679
looked utterly ridiculous. I don't know
why AW aired the footage. Well I

135
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.279
do, because they wanted a ratings
bump, but they did nothing to help

136
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.159
their brand. They did nothing to
help their product. They confirmed what cmpunk

137
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.240
said in the interview. Why the
hell did they air this footage? Umm?

138
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.840
And maybe you feel different than me, I mean this is the first

139
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:45.080
we're talking about it. Yeah,
so I'll say overall, I agree with

140
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.960
you. To me, the funny
part was kind of being on social media

141
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.799
and immediately it was like ninety percent
of people I saw agree with us,

142
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.600
and then the ten percent that were
just you know, being contrarian for the

143
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.679
sake of being contrarion short as it
was literally a try to get a rating

144
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:07.720
spike heading into the WrestleMania weekend,
and then apparently somebody thought this is a

145
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.159
good way to tie it into a
storyline. And I'm like, like,

146
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:20.399
this is where sometimes having actual writers
on staff or having no people somebody to

147
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.440
say no, ye, like this
is not a good idea. It's it's

148
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.960
similar to you know, we always
talk about how great the Attitude era was

149
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.759
for the most part, but then
there were certain things that happened that were

150
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.600
like, yeah, that was cridgeworthy, but we just to say, like

151
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.960
there nobody would tell Vince no.
And I feel like this is a situation

152
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.240
where somebody had this idea, Tony
Cohn goes, yeah, that that'd be

153
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.279
a great idea, and nobody had
the guts to say no or didn't know

154
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.480
about it enough to tell him no. Like I once again, when you

155
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.799
watch the footage, like there's no
upside for them in this, because,

156
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.399
like you said, it makes CM
punk look like he was telling the truth.

157
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.799
M you know, Tony Kahn saying
he feared for his life. What

158
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.200
in there did I see that made
somebody fear for their life, and it

159
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:20.440
made one of their under contract wrestlers
look even worse. So I and then

160
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.000
you get the crowd channing cm Punk, the crowds channing for a guy that

161
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.159
you guys no longer have under contract, which is gonna make any casual viewer

162
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.639
go, oh, I wonder what
he's doing this weekend. Oh yeah,

163
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.879
it's wrestle MANI weekend. I should
probably make sure I watch that. So

164
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.480
I don't see what the upside of
this whole situation was for them, unless

165
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:52.639
it is just too Eventually reintroduced Jack
Perry to the AEW crowd and further along

166
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:58.120
a storyline that's unnecessary for a show
that says they don't need storylines for compelling

167
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.480
matchups. To create this storyline,
FTR Young Budgs matchup is maybe one of

168
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:09.200
the dumbest decisions since Cain had coffee
spilled on it by Chris Jericho or the

169
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.759
Was it the shampoo commercial with Booker
T and Edge. Yes, Yes that

170
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:20.559
led to a WrestleMania match, the
shaving of the backs between FTR and USOS

171
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.159
Hey. They even referenced that,
yeah in their promo following that segment.

172
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.360
Yeah, I mean, there's easier
ways to reintroduce Jack Perry than airing that

173
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.840
footage. If that footage aired and
it was like Jack Perry putting CM Punk

174
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.639
in a choke hold, it made
CM Punk look like a liar. I'd

175
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.240
be sitting here with a different tone
of voice being like, oh you know,

176
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.480
I mean that made Punk look really
bad. And he went on Halani

177
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.519
and said that he controlled the situation
for them to air footage, which was

178
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.120
funny because Halani actually had posted a
on the top of the video that I

179
00:13:54.159 --> 00:14:01.039
saw like maybe thirty minutes after the
video aired on Dynamite last week. They

180
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.600
have Punk telling his side of the
story, and right below the video is

181
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.919
the actual footage. Aw did a
copyright refrigement and remove that video even though

182
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.440
it's close captain television, which I
believe is illegal to do in like certain

183
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.720
countries. People were saying online like
you can't do that because in the UK

184
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.639
it's public access or what have you. Anyway, I mean, they he

185
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.720
had that footage and it was literally
Punk describing the situation perfectly, and I

186
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.320
was like, okay, so what
the like if we're trying to make Punk

187
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.639
look bad, did not work.
The Tony Khan fearing for his life stuff

188
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.799
makes him look incredibly weak. Now, even though I saw some wrestling journals

189
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.519
come out and say that the part
that made Tony Khan fear for his life

190
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.960
was not aired, I don't know
what that was it. I guess we'll

191
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.120
never know, but I mean,
they could have verbalized the situation and that

192
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.000
could have been the way to bring
back Jack Perry. I fully expect Jack

193
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.279
Perry to return this Sunday at Dynasty. I fully expect him to be involved

194
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.159
in a latter match. And this
is tipping my hand into who I'm picking,

195
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.279
but I fully expect him to interfere
and cause the result in that match,

196
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.600
and now you've got Jack Perry back
in all elad wrestling. It was

197
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.639
something that we have heard before where
Vince this was a vincick Man move where

198
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.559
Vince had a buge of his ass
and wanted to get back at somebody and

199
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.600
would do something, whether it was
like the self destruction of the Ultimate Warrior

200
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.200
DVD that had been aired, or
you know, different shots that he's taken

201
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.960
over at wrestlers over the years,
and he was the only one in favor

202
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.639
of it. It was very tedious, It was very It did nothing for

203
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.120
the product, and I did not
walk away. I walked away from that

204
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:54.000
segment as a lesser fan of AW
than I was before. And I've had

205
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.480
mike ripes with AW lately. I've
been very optimistic when it comes to them

206
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.080
in their improvement. There are a
lot of wrestlers that are on that show

207
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.279
that I really truly enjoy watching perform, but it has become such a mundane,

208
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:15.039
almost boring, very not entertaining at
all, lack of creativity that I've

209
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.399
seen in some times, and I
think that has a lot to do with

210
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.639
what you're seeing play out on WE
television right now. I mean, it's

211
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:26.120
completely night and day. The n
ring work that AW stars do is phenomenal.

212
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:32.279
The creative and the entertainment that surrounds
that nucleus of the N ring work

213
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.559
is not there. It is not
good at all, and this is another

214
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.799
case of it. I just thought
this was a really bad look for AAW.

215
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.240
It's not like I'm not going to
be a fan of them anymore,

216
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.559
but I think it alienates the fan
base and for those people that are out

217
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.000
there saying like this is a WCW
like move and whether it be supporters of

218
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.240
AW wrestling journalists employees of AW that
are like saying, no, it was

219
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.799
not. I disagree. I think
that was a w CW tactic. Doctor

220
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.200
Tryan was it was a very very
bad move at the end of the day.

221
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.119
Yeah, when when you started your
sins up by saying it was a

222
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.200
very Vince and then you said,
McMahon, I thought you were doing Russo.

223
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.160
Like to me, this is a
this was a very Vince Russo esque

224
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.960
move. You know, the fingerpoke
of Doom getting mad at Hogan, getting

225
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.880
mad with like anything greative, control
wise, all that stuff, you know,

226
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.160
very w CW two thousand and one
type move. It's it's a very

227
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:33.880
immature move, Like you're upset because
a former wrestler that you editor contract went

228
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:40.440
on a you know, medium popular
podcast and told his accounting of the story

229
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.559
and you felt like you had to
counter act that where turn the other cheek

230
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:52.319
or the old WWE tactic of just
doing ignoring the competition might have been better

231
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.119
for you, Like this is very
much like you know, the the angry

232
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.559
ex girlfriend, you know telling the
new girl friend they oh he still texts

233
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.119
me every now and then. It's
just it's a very kind of just immature,

234
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:10.359
childish thing, and I think that
kind of does also quantify punk statement

235
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.440
of the leadership at aw so,
Like, like I said earlier, it

236
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:22.519
to me there's there was no upside
to this other than a quick ratings bump,

237
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:29.319
you know, and then maybe reintroducing
a character that I don't know how

238
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:34.400
many people were clamoring for his return
as well, so I the bump is

239
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.400
it? And then once again how
many people and I don't know, if

240
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.400
I don't know, if the rains
were last night's show have come out,

241
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.000
how many people did that piss off
that didn't tune in this week to what

242
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.319
was a really good episode of Dynamites, Like you kind of shot yourself in

243
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.640
the foot because I know what we
might touch on a later but I mean,

244
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.599
the opening segment with Moxley was really
well done. The end of the

245
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:04.160
show with Swerven Joe really well done. You just rain Claudio Aspray was a

246
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.079
fantastic match, you know, jer
One hook I could do without. Yes,

247
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.039
well I didn't know we were going
to talk about that, but yeah,

248
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.000
but overall the show is really well
done. You're opening in your clothes,

249
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:21.359
which is one thing I've constantly complained
about AW is how they segment their

250
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:26.119
show. The opening and the clothes
were really great, but did you lose

251
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.559
one hundred thousand viewers because you just
pissed off people by showing that footage.

252
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.079
And basically, you know, for
anybody who's been like AW, I believe

253
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.799
what AW says seem Punk was right. Mm hmm. And that was the

254
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:44.440
point I wanted to make to and
you said it. There was what Punk

255
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.720
said about the leadership there and Tony
kanbying a detriment to the company, like

256
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.200
that kind of affirm that his opinion
is correct. I like, there's always

257
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.880
going to be always two sides to
every story. But from what I have

258
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:03.039
come to know when Cmpunk, for
the most part is I have always felt

259
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:08.880
like he is a no bullshit,
honest type of person, and his interview

260
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.680
with Aaron Hollani and then the footage
and the decision that they made basically confirm

261
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.720
that to me. So I'm a
Punk fan. I'm an AW fan,

262
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:25.240
But you know, it was really
a moment that I watched it and I

263
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.160
kind of thought to myself, like, if I wasn't doing a wrestling podcast,

264
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:34.880
I may not be watching this product
anymore because I really really teeter with

265
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.960
them lately. It's like they go
through a stretch leading into pay per view

266
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.200
that is really good, like a
great build. The Revolution was a great

267
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:52.400
build. The stuff with Dynasty for
most of the card has been met at

268
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.599
best. Yeah, but it'll be
saved on Sunday when we sit here next

269
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.960
week because they had a very strong
wrestling pay per view. But as what

270
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:06.160
I have come to see with WWE
over these last six eight months or weeks

271
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:08.359
i should say, and months in
general, is why am I enjoying the

272
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:14.559
product overall than AAW is. While
I'm a fan of great inn ring work,

273
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.079
I need to have a reason to
go watch the n ring work.

274
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.319
And that's the entertainment value that dode
Wee is providing right now that I feel

275
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.839
like AW is not. And if
you're like just a pure wrestling fan and

276
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:29.000
you don't need storylines and you don't
need entertainment around that to get you to

277
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.599
the table, Like granted I don't
need that to go watch well Os Bray

278
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:36.079
and Brian Danielson who have had a
very good build, but a lot of

279
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.720
people need that and that's why like
AW needs to get out of that niche

280
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:45.720
product zone and become more of a
modernized, successful product. Like there were

281
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:52.240
just some things that I read today
and the conference call for Dynasty where somebody

282
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.799
was like they had asked him,
did you regret airing that footage? And

283
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.400
he said that ratings because the fan
backlass online and Tony Kahna said that the

284
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.720
ratings for the segment were really strong
and that is the biggest outlier and like

285
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:10.599
the thing that you should go off
of and Grennam paraphrasing, and I'm like,

286
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.640
this is a guy that talked about
like listening to his fans, like

287
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.680
maybe own it a little bit,
like this was a mistake, but I

288
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.000
highly doubt that. Nonetheless, I
don't understand why they aired at Doctor Trey.

289
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.519
I think it was a bad move
and I think it was a potentially

290
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.279
a detrimental move for AW in the
long run Doctor Trey. So I don't

291
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.680
know. I mean, are there
ever points for you where you watch the

292
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.480
product and I feel like you're probably
closer to this than I am, just

293
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.559
in discussions that we've had on the
show and even like off air, are

294
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:41.880
there moments where you're like, you
know, I don't know if I could

295
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.440
watch six hours of AW a week
anymore. Yeah, I mean honestly,

296
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.359
a lot of times I catch dynamite
on the replay, Like I have a

297
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.400
couple of apps where I can go
back and watching if if it's a storyline

298
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.680
or a match I am not interested
in. Yeahd of skim through it.

299
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.839
And the stuff I'm into is what
I kind of like this. This is

300
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.119
Joe and Swerve. I'm gonna watch
that Danielson Ospra, I'm going to watch

301
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.720
that stuff. You know, those
ones make sense to me, But some

302
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.599
of this other stuff, I'm like, I don't get it and for me

303
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.680
and maybe I am still the old
the old guy yelling at clouds, and

304
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.680
you know, I need a little
bit of good storytelling. And I also

305
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.079
need stability, like I, you
know, people constantly switching sides back and

306
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:32.640
forth. You know, I lose
intro, I lose track of who am

307
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.759
I supposed to be cheering for?
Again? Who am I supposed to be

308
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.599
booing? Like? Why is this
happening? Like you, I kind of

309
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.440
need a little depth to it,
And it was It's funny that I was

310
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.240
actually watching. I've been going through
watching a lot of the Chris van van

311
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.000
Valet van Villa, I don't know
if that's his last ning, but he

312
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:52.039
does all the interview users like that, and I saw one with Disco Eferno

313
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.640
and I'm like, watching this,
I'm like and at one point Disco asked,

314
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.839
Hi'm like, what's more important to
you? Storytelling or the end ringwork?

315
00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:00.400
And he's like, well, I
cind of need both, and I'm

316
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:07.400
like, I need both, but
I need more storytelling. Because we referenced

317
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.160
this earlier, like the show Dynasty
was a soap opera, wrestling is supposed

318
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.319
to be a soap opera in a
lot of ways. It's supposed to be

319
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:19.240
soap operas with violence, you know. And I can go watch two guys

320
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.119
fight for the sake of fighting.
It's called UFC three hundred, But did

321
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.680
you have see three hundred? Do
the amount of buys or views that wrestle

322
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:33.160
Maybia did, I'd probably say no. And it's a legitimate combat sport where

323
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:38.400
this is a scripted combat sport.
But the storytelling is what draws you in.

324
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:44.440
It's compelling television, and there are
times with Dynamite that I just don't

325
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.359
think it's good television. And you
know, and that's why I'm saying,

326
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.960
like this week, the episode Dynamite
had a great opening and a great ending,

327
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:56.119
which made me want to watch Dynasty
for the Joe Swerves match because I'm

328
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.880
intrigued to see where they go with
this. But the other stuff and the

329
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.720
week before, I'm like, God, I do I really want to keep

330
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.079
chasing this? It's you know,
it's it's like, you know, what

331
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.319
was it? What hero is called? Hero? That is called it chasing

332
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:14.839
the dragon to get the good additional
high, but the addital high you never

333
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:17.880
get that again. And I kind
of feel like though AW right now,

334
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.839
like they're the initial launch of AW
was fantastic. We're all excited, and

335
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.160
we keep waiting for them to get
back kind of to that level. It

336
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.079
just every time they get close,
they shoot themselves in the foot and we're

337
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.240
just left, You're disappointed, scratching
our heads. Yeah, like twenty nineteen,

338
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.920
twenty twenty, and then like a
good portion in twenty twenty one,

339
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.720
AW was really good and then just
commpletely tanked. I mean, you're seeing

340
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.680
it. I mean, look at
the attendants. I mean last night,

341
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.559
even though Indianapolis was such a great
crowd for them, the upper levels were

342
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:53.279
completely blacked off, tarped off,
and there's plenty of pictures online where there's

343
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:57.400
empty seats everywhere. I think the
wherever they just were for Battle the belts

344
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:03.039
On and Collision on Saturday night.
I mean, there was a video taken

345
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.359
and it looked terrible. I mean
they did not have people in the farthest

346
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.000
back of the arena on the first
level. I mean there were television sections

347
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.920
that were completely nobody in the seats, and then very far away in you

348
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:22.039
know, like directly behind the attendance
excuse me, the announcers booth on back

349
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.240
it was there was nobody sitting there
and it was just it was terrible to

350
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.000
see. And you can't tell me
like wrestling is the hottest it's ever been

351
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:36.319
when like they can't fill in an
arena in these parts of the country.

352
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.680
It's just it doesn't doesn't make sense
to me. And I know they're going

353
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:44.319
to Wembley and they had eighty thousand
back in August. I think a lot

354
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.640
of that had to do with aw
finally debuting in the UK, obviously,

355
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.559
and people wanted to break the attendance
record, which they did. Props of

356
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.519
them, But now I saw ticket
sales for All Out London, All in

357
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.920
London again and I think it's at
like forty right now, which would be

358
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.119
half. I mean, forty thousand
is still something that you don't like batch

359
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:07.400
your eyes at, but I mean
it's literally half of what they did it.

360
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.200
I feel like they have eroded away
a lot of goodwill that they had

361
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:17.200
with wrestling fans. And we enjoyed
seeing the verbal sparring and the abuse,

362
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.319
you know, the stuff at w
W and all that stuff. But I

363
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:25.119
think it just got too much.
And even like the tagline they're using right

364
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:27.640
now is very wswish where it was, this is where the best wrestle.

365
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.599
I mean that's literally where the big
boys play. I mean, like what

366
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.079
like they like parody themselves at this
point. It just it's absurdity. But

367
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.400
anyway, that is the all out
backstage footage. I will say there was

368
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.400
a moment where a shot at W
I did feel like was justified Doctor Trey,

369
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.839
and that is when will Ospray took
shots at Triple H. That was

370
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.480
not something that he did on his
own. Triple H came out in the

371
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.279
Pat McAfee show Headed into Wrestling Any
Weekend mentioned that there's wrestlers out there that

372
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.400
don't want to do the grind taking
shots at them. Everybody felt like in

373
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.279
the wrestling world that that was a
direct shot at will Ospury, who said

374
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.920
he wanted a lighter schedule. He
came out mentioned about the grind that Triple

375
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.359
H was talking about and how Triple
H, you know, want to be

376
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:14.519
in a position that he is today
if he didn't grind the boss's daughter.

377
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.799
Well, I understand that there is, you know, obviously an ounce of

378
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:21.680
truth to that. I think it
is also safe to say that Triple H

379
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:26.559
is a brilliant mind when it comes
to creative I will defend that point,

380
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.480
though, Doctor Try. I will
defend that Will Osbray did have to kind

381
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.000
of give it back to Triple H
on this a week ago after Triple H

382
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:41.319
basically said those things about him.
Well, I'm kind of on the Triple

383
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.920
A side on this one a little
bit because I could say that it's an

384
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.640
indirect shot at will Osbury. But
there's also a lot of guys who take

385
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.480
the AEW contract because it's a lighter
schedule. So there's quite a few guys

386
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:57.440
who left WWE or signed with AW
because the schedule's lighter. So it's not

387
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:02.599
necessarily a shot directly. Will Osprey's
just a shot of the different mindsets of

388
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.400
the generations, because you know,
guys like Trepoyte did grind on the independence,

389
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.559
did go grind on the other card
of w CW and make their ways

390
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.599
up there. Now did he get
a position of power because of his relation

391
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.519
with Stephanie, Yes, absolutely,
But I can look at that shot and

392
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.519
say that wasn't necessarily directed will Ospry. He's just the most recent signing that

393
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.480
AW has, so it makes it
look look more like it's a shot at

394
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:33.079
will Osbury. I think wrestling is
changing a little bit. I can understand

395
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:40.440
your perspective, where from yester years
we're learning how important it is for wrestlers

396
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.279
to get a little bit of a
break, be home with family. They

397
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.480
don't need to be on the road
three hundred days a year. And I

398
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.440
always felt that if WWE got a
little bit lighter on their schedule that they

399
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:56.400
would be able to attract more top
notch free agent talent, which WWE may

400
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.359
not be looking for. But I
think adding oct uh An Osprey to the

401
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:06.720
roster would have been phenomenal. I
think that there's probably a little bit more

402
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:10.400
to it. There was a lot
more money offered to Will Ospray, I

403
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:15.279
wouldn't be shocked if Osprey is getting
some help in travel as well, which

404
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.920
I don't believe w W stars get. I think that was something I heard

405
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:25.279
Dax Hardwood say in an interview.
I can understand the Triple H point,

406
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:29.279
but what I'm what I'm trying to
say is I think will as For anybody

407
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.599
that says that will Ospray wasn't justified, I believe he was. I think

408
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.680
he is, and I'm kind of
happy that he did because I think from

409
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.240
an en Ring standpoint, he's really
opened eyes to the United States audio audience

410
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.519
that may not have known him.
And I think even on the microphone,

411
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.240
he's really stepping up and showing that
he can he can hang with some of

412
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.880
the top as well. So I
thought I thought it was I thought he

413
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.680
was justified. Unlike the all out
backsage footage. I didn't have an issue

414
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.759
with what he said because basically,
like I said, I don't think Triple

415
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.960
A was singling him out with that
statement. But like I said, he

416
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.079
is one of those recent sidings.
It was well, and he had come

417
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.720
out and said that he wanted the
lighter schedule. Yeah, and I'm sure

418
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.160
but other wrestlers that have signed with
AW have said I took it because I

419
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:19.799
wanted the lighter schedule, And a
lot of those guys came from the WWE

420
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:25.039
world, like a mirro FTR.
Moxley, and they also like the freedom

421
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:27.960
of being able to go to New
Japan or Independence where AW allows it.

422
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.319
Yeah, and so like I get
why, I mean it was I mean

423
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.400
to me, I look at like
he didn't name a name with Tribley said

424
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:42.000
he didn't name a name, but
it wasn't If you're a wrestling fan,

425
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.880
I feel like you knew he was
talking about just because it was so fresh

426
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.880
in everyone's mind. But I could
have said the same thing that he might

427
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.079
have even say that about Katak because
O Katak's of the same deal. Is

428
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:56.640
it that Ospray came out and said
that's what I'm saying. Yeah, Okada

429
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.119
didn't come out and say that stuff. Osprey did. Did he want the

430
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.400
lighter schedule was more appealing to him
given his family situation, but it Conda

431
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.200
might have said it to WWE in
the negotiation. I don't think they ever

432
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.319
reached that far. I don't think
according to what we're reading here, I

433
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.559
don't think there was overtures, but
I don't think w w WE ever gotten

434
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:20.160
any type of negotiations with either one
of those guys. Like my thing was,

435
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.559
I would say, like, I
understand why Osprey took it to me

436
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.079
once again, being you know,
up in the upper management, you have

437
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.279
to say things that sound vague.
But I also know why when people say

438
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:32.559
things that are vague about me,
and I know it's a shot at me,

439
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.200
you know. So I don't have
a problem with Osprey saying what he

440
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:42.880
said because he took Richard Blade said
as a shot at him. I think

441
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:47.400
that you understand, like you say
things to be vague to not single out

442
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.000
well an employee or somebody that you
tried to bring onto your team. But

443
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.799
I can say why an employee or
that person would take it personally well,

444
00:32:55.880 --> 00:33:02.559
I mean, Will Ospray didn't say
Triple H all he you know, basically

445
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.880
said his name, and everybody in
the wrestling world believes that Triple H was

446
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:12.279
talking about Will Ospray without saying Will
Osprey's name in that situation. So I

447
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:16.519
just felt like Ospray didn't bring that
to himself. He didn't come out of

448
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.200
left field and decided to do that
they came at him. I think it's

449
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:30.920
different to me when comparing the all
out backstage footage situation with a Tony Kahn

450
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:35.880
and cmpunk, then it would be
will Ospray Triple H because, like CM

451
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:39.240
Punk was asked the question, said
it very matter of factly, was honest

452
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.519
about it, and then it was
confirmed and basically accomplished nothing. Both guys

453
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:50.200
in Ospray Triple H didn't say each
other's names and we all were just left

454
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:55.119
for the imagination. I think Ospray
goes down as one of the biggest regrets

455
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.279
that WW will have in this timeframe
of not signing him. I mean he

456
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.240
I have been absolutely blown away by
him Doctor Trap. I've I've watched him

457
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:06.559
in New Japan. We obviously saw
him in AW a little bit frequently.

458
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.079
I have been blown away by every
single one of his matches so far because

459
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.159
you get to see it on a
consistent basis, and I have been very

460
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.719
blown away by his in his microphone
work and his character development as well.

461
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:21.559
Oh yeah, now, to me
from from the last from that last week,

462
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:25.559
Ospray came out looked like a bigger
star like Ospray basically didn't back down

463
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:30.159
from triple ah, which I applaud
him for that, whereas the all inputs

464
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.960
I think just made the leadership at
AW look bad. So I think Ospray

465
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:38.239
looks good at what he did,
Tony Kann looks bad at what he and

466
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:44.719
I agree like Ospray entering obviously phenomenal. We all knew that his promo work

467
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:50.159
is far better than I gave him
credit. Point Like, the dude's a

468
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:52.119
natural to MIC. He knows how
to connect to the crowd. He knows

469
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:54.760
how to work a crowd. He
knows how to get his you know,

470
00:34:54.920 --> 00:35:00.719
get his quibs or jabs in where
it's maybe a little subtle and the crowd

471
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:02.480
goes, ooh, I know what
he's talking about. So that's one of

472
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:06.960
the little tricks that when you're cutting
a promo, it feels like if you

473
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.719
feel like you're letting the audience in
on something, they attract to you more

474
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.360
sy and punts. Maybe the greatest
of all time when it comes to that.

475
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:22.480
So Ospray of the last week just
has increased his star power immensely just

476
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:27.239
between the promo from last week the
match with Claudio this week. And I'm

477
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:31.480
really interesting to see what the end
result of what happens that dynasty with Ospray

478
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:38.639
and Danielson is because we're entering in
this little Blackpool Combat Club don Kallas Family

479
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:43.360
viewed and Ospray kind of seems to
be, I don't want to say caught

480
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:47.159
in the middle, but he's not
really wrestling like a full heel. But

481
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:52.519
you know, the the damn club
is named Blackpool Combat and Ospray is from

482
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.559
the UK, so it's gonna be
interesting how postmatch, how that whole thing

483
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.239
shakes out. He is coming out
of the big face tunnel as well.

484
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:05.519
So yeah, I mean that has
been when I look at the AW Dynasty

485
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.920
card and I'm like, where have
they been good? Creatively? The Danielson

486
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:13.159
Osprey stuff has been very good creatively, and like the stuff with Blackpool Combat

487
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.440
Club and the don Kallis family has
been very good as well, and it's

488
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:21.760
starting to bubble up to finally reach
some sort of crescendo potentially at Sunday's AW

489
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:28.320
Dynasty switching gears to WWE, where
they made the right signing. This past

490
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.880
addition, as SmackDown, we saw
the debut of Talmatanga, who has been

491
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:37.119
over in New Japan for ten plus
years. Phenomenal wrestler, really great personality.

492
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:44.559
Joins w appears on SmackDown, aligns
with the bloodline, takes out Jimmy

493
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:46.840
Usso. And the biggest question from
this, Doctor Trey, which is the

494
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:52.920
part where WW is absolutely killing it
creatively, is what does this mean?

495
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:59.039
Is solosikoa the new tribal chief by
orders of the tribal Chief? Did Roman

496
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.559
reigns and Toma Tung gonna do that
to take out Jimmy Uso and didn't tell

497
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:06.400
the wise Man Paul Hayman, which
is which is something that he didn't do

498
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.880
is Roman reigns were turning as a
babyface. Eventually, just when you think

499
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:19.920
the bloodline is idle and could be
dormant until Roman returns, they execute this

500
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:23.519
angle on Friday's SmackDown and breathe new
life into it. To me, Doctor

501
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:30.800
Trey, old school wrestling fan,
it felt like post WrestleMania fourteen, when

502
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.360
Shawn Michaels lost the title to Stone
Cold Ze Vas and the Austin Era began

503
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:39.639
Degeneration X is running rampant. Michaels
went away for a while. The next

504
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:45.920
night on Raw Triple HS starts his
own Degeneration X. The DX Army with

505
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:51.719
the Outlaws and x PAC. I
felt like that Roman loses the match,

506
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.119
loses the title. Solosakoa is taking
over as the tribal chief. This is

507
00:37:55.239 --> 00:38:00.440
his bloodline, and he brings tom
Atunga along, and I got to figure

508
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.519
that other people are on their way
as well. There's rumors that Jacob Fatu

509
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:08.719
from MLW Champion Assignment w WA,
which would be a natural fit there.

510
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:14.440
What does this all mean, doctor
Trey Tomatungua joining the bloodline, Jimmy us

511
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:21.920
out and the phrase by the orders
of the tribal Chief. It's interesting because

512
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:27.800
I kind of I don't know if
they're ready to put Solo in that spot,

513
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.800
I think. And here's the thing, I still think they're trying to

514
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:35.239
figure it out, because the one
thing they did with Solo last week was

515
00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:37.639
they gave him a lot more speaking
lines. We haven't heard Solo talk a

516
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.280
whole lot over the last year and
a half. And by the way,

517
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.239
I'm sorry for you here, coffee. I have a six five year old,

518
00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.039
oh hanging there, Sammy. Sammy's
little under the weather right now,

519
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:51.639
but he's hanging out with dad watching
TV with me while we do the show.

520
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:55.360
I think They're still trying to figure
this out because we all know at

521
00:38:55.440 --> 00:39:00.280
some point they want Rock and Roman
to go one on one, and you

522
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:07.639
saw on Raw after Estimated Rocks still
kind of playing the heel. So if

523
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:12.719
that's the case, you kick Jimmy
out, Roman's off TV, Jay's on

524
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.599
Raw, you have this new bloodline
start running rampant, and then you can

525
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:21.679
always circle back and reunite the USOS
and Roman together against this new blood line.

526
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:24.639
I still think that the right now. I think on paper, the

527
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:30.480
new tribal chief is the Rock,
and then that's where you get Rock,

528
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:36.760
Solo, Tamatanga, and Jacob Fatu
against I guess the og bloodline of you

529
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:40.000
know, Roman, the USO's and
maybe a Sammy's ain coming back into the

530
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:45.800
mix for a Wargames match or something
like that. But if Solo kills it,

531
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:50.679
then you don't need the Rock to
step back into a leadership role and

532
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:52.960
Solo can run, you know,
on TV. I think they're still trying

533
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:59.000
to figure out if Fellow's ready to
take that step or if they have the

534
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.280
Rock and lines it back a plan
to eventually get back to Rock and Roman

535
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:06.400
one on one, and that's the
beauty of storytelling, right, Doctor Trey

536
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.519
is it leads you to wonder what
the hell they're leading to right now?

537
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:12.519
Right? Oh? Yeah? And
I and I guarantee you if you watched

538
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:16.719
SmackDown last week, you're probably gonna
turn the SmackDown this week just to see

539
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:22.639
what happens next. And that was
always the great wrestling days of our youth.

540
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:27.280
Was always that little cliffhanger to see
what's going to happen next with at

541
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.840
least one spot in the show,
you know, whether it's you know,

542
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:37.800
the new bloodline or uh, you
know, Chad Gable turning on Sammy's saying,

543
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.440
there's always some kind of hook that
makes you want to come back and

544
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:49.960
watch the next episode. So your
ultimate prediction is what here? You think

545
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:53.079
the Rock is behind this? Yeah? I think I think The Rock is

546
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.280
gonna be the one. I don't
I don't know if we'll get The Rock

547
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:59.519
into Roman in a war Games match, but I think it comes down to

548
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:05.920
a blood line civil war where the
Rock aligns himself with this younger generational talent

549
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:09.559
of Hanawai family, and then you
have the O G bloodline on the other

550
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:15.840
side, like Solo Jacobu, Toma, Tunka, the Rock taking on Roman

551
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:19.719
the USO's and like Sammy Zane,
Yeah, something like that, that would

552
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:22.880
be pretty bad. I think Roman's
coming back as babyface. A lot of

553
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.320
it's also because a lot of the
people that they're like, you know,

554
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:30.519
all the flowers Roman's been given,
you know, whether it's by Triple Ah,

555
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:35.480
by Cody, all the all the
respect that he's been given, and

556
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:39.800
it's like, du way, your
character ran rough shots over a company for

557
00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:45.400
three years. If that guy loses, then people aren't going on TV and

558
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.760
saying what a you know, what
a great champion he was, what a

559
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:51.360
great leader he was. They were
like, yeah, we're glad the a

560
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.639
hole's gone. If the plan is
were to come back as he here,

561
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:59.760
So to me, the bigger payoff
is gonna be see, just like the

562
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.400
reuniting, it's gonna be the Bloodline
reunite. Its be the big payoff down

563
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.079
the road. Yeah. Yeah,
it's It's interesting. It definitely has me

564
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:10.519
intrigue to watch SmackDown and it was
like you kind of forgot how good the

565
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:15.000
Bloodline storyline is and then they picked
it back up again. I mean,

566
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.480
they have been so dormant since Oh
my god, I felt like almost an

567
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:22.199
entire year where I just did not
care about the bloodline like I did,

568
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:29.119
the bloodline storyline like I did,
until like recently they got me back in

569
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:31.920
and now we'll see where it leads
to next week the thing and to see

570
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:36.039
you have Cody back on SmackDown,
and I love the whole thing where you

571
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:39.239
saw Jimmy and Solo and Paul walking
down the hall heading to the locker room,

572
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:44.760
and then you thought Cody's name on
the big locker room. Is that

573
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:50.119
if Jimmy's out, you've got to
find new challengers for the bloodline, you

574
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:52.599
know, for in the in the
meantime before they come back, it's like,

575
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:55.559
well, who do you move into
that slot to be the number two

576
00:42:55.679 --> 00:43:00.599
babyface to fight Solo and Toma and
go that direction. So means to see

577
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:04.639
how they positioned it. Well,
we'll see now with the draft coming up

578
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:08.000
and uh yeah, she's the one
in ten days, which we will preview

579
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:13.679
and give some predictions on that on
next week's edition the podcast, Doctor Trede.

580
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:15.360
Did you notice that the sidebar here? This is not something I wrote

581
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:20.239
down, but did you notice that
they're calling Cody the undisputed w w E

582
00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.000
Champion now and not in universal.
I think I don't. I think a

583
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:29.000
lot of people always hated the term
universal hand up. Yeah, So I

584
00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:34.519
think that's just their way of subtly
dropping it. They just have to get

585
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:38.440
rid of undisputed next. Yeah,
I mean that's stupid. I think part

586
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:42.199
of the problem with that is right
now, that that's part of Cody's tagline

587
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:49.320
from you know, it was unwanted
to undesirable, to undeniable, universal or

588
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:52.559
undisputed, because I can always say, well, technically, if there's a

589
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:57.000
world champion on the other show,
it's always in dispute. But you know

590
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:01.639
there, yeah, yeah, little
subtle stuff. Unfortunate news in w W

591
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:07.559
on Monday, Rhea Ripley vacates the
w Women's World Championship due to injury.

592
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.800
Legitimate injury. She was injured in
the backstage segment would Live Morgan. Her

593
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:15.480
title ram went three hundred and eighty
days. It was just seven days ago.

594
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:17.760
I said to you, doctor Trey, I don't know who or what

595
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:23.000
stops Rhea Ripley, And I guess
the who is Lived Morgan? And the

596
00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:28.719
what is a brick wall? Legitimately? So I mean, what a damn

597
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:34.119
shame man. Four to six weeks
they said, or I think it was

598
00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:37.639
like two to three months she may
be out and four to six weeks she

599
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.440
can't do anything. The hope is
that she may be back by SummerSlam.

600
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:45.400
The thing from this is that a
natural double turn has potentially taken place where

601
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:50.840
Rha Ripley is the babyface and Live
Morgan is now getting booed and she addressed

602
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:53.440
in a promo which I thought was
brilliant on w we's part. All in

603
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:57.360
all, I mean, it'll come
back, We'll we'll get it, you

604
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.360
know, hopefully by Summer Slam,
Ria Ripley will be back. But I

605
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:05.280
mean to miss who you and I
named is last year's SRTU Wrestler of the

606
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:07.199
Year for any amount of time,
not to train and to see this title

607
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:14.320
reign end, Like this really really
sucks. Yeah, and and it probably

608
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:21.000
changes the draft plans for WWE as
well. It changes you know, their

609
00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:23.000
their creative story plans a little bit
too, so they have to shift everything.

610
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:29.079
Like I'm still a little confused why
people were booing Live for attacking Rhea

611
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:34.480
other than like just everybody wants to
cheer for Rihea anyway, And it's it's

612
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:37.000
just weird that like I thought,
on paper Live might have been maybe number

613
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:43.320
two, number three most favorite female
wrestler in WWE, because I know the

614
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.119
crowd loves Live and to have this
happen, it's like, Okay, we

615
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:49.920
gotta make Live a heel. It's
like, well, Rihea's getting cheered,

616
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:53.280
but the judgment day gets booed,
but she's still in the Judgment day sometimes

617
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:55.679
like you just gotta go. Look, I know you guys want to cheer

618
00:45:55.719 --> 00:46:00.239
her, give us time to give
you a reason to cheer her. Getting

619
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:05.480
attacked by one hundred and five pound
woman is not usually the reason to all

620
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:09.000
of a sudden start cheering Riha as
the underdog. Yeah. I just think

621
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:14.280
people are obviously very upset that she's
off television now and this rain is over

622
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:16.320
right by the way. By the
way, do you like the long hair

623
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:21.960
Andria? I mean, I don't
have much hair. I don't know if

624
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:25.440
I can comment on that. I'm
I'm yeah, I mean, I'm I'm

625
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:29.920
down with it. I mean I
think looks amazing. Yeah no, but

626
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:32.599
I mean for me, I would
be Look, I've been looking forward to

627
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:36.559
Living Ria going at it because I
thought it would really cement Live as a

628
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.920
top baby face it's just really hard
to hate Live because she's so small.

629
00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:44.239
It's a little bit of the Alexa
Blizz, a little bit of the Raybisteria,

630
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.320
Like they're just they're just so much
smaller than everybody else. You kind

631
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:50.639
of want to cheer for them.
But I mean, if this is the

632
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:53.519
way to do it and make Live
a psycho, then that that's that that'll

633
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:57.480
work too, because I think she's
good at playing either character. Yeah,

634
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:00.559
I'm a huge fan of Live Morgan, so I did not think that this

635
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:04.840
was a double turn. So I'm
actually kind of surprised by the crowd reaction

636
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:09.199
and also her reaction in the promo
because I don't think her turning heel is

637
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:13.480
necessarily the way to go, Like, you don't need to really change either

638
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:15.119
character. I mean, all it
takes is they're going to crown a new

639
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:19.760
champion on Monday's Raw. All it
really takes is like Nia Jacks to lay

640
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:23.000
out Live Morgan and Live Morgan being
this underdog baby face and people are back

641
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:27.000
into liking Live Morgan again. I
think, yeah, you put her up

642
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.920
against Nia Jacks and people are gonna
be cheering for her. So it'll be

643
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.960
interesting with the direction of that is
of that title following next week's when You

644
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.639
and I talk next week. Yeah, and if you want to keep Rihea

645
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:38.159
as a babyface that she comes back, all you gotta do really to do

646
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:40.639
at backstage segment go Look, look, I understand why you're mad, but

647
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:45.360
look, I have so much respect
for what you did, Like I would

648
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:46.480
have done the same thing if I
have been in your position. Boom,

649
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:50.679
Now you have few baby faces out
of it. People certainly want to cheer

650
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:52.079
for her. They certainly want to
cheer for the Judgment Day, which is

651
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:59.719
wild because like ri is so over, Damian so over, Finn is moderately

652
00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:02.519
over over, JD is over.
From like a funny standpoint, but everybody

653
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:06.239
hates dom I mean, one of
the best heels in the business today,

654
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:10.559
So it's like they could turn Judgment
Day babyface, but then that kind of

655
00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:15.079
ruins the allure of everything that's going
on with Dominant Mysterio as well. So

656
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:21.960
typically babyface stables never work. No, I think the only time they work

657
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:23.159
is when you like you know.
I hate to go back to this,

658
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.800
but d X was such a huge
part of my childhood growing up, and

659
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.400
they didn't change them at all.
They just they were still the same character.

660
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:35.400
They just aligned with different people.
They helped out Mike Foley and people

661
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:39.280
loved them for it. They went
after people that we didn't like as heels

662
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:44.400
like the Nation of Domination and that
stuff works, and that's what cemented them

663
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.320
as a baby face. They had
to fight another stable that was more hated

664
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:50.559
than they were. Yeah, so
I don't know. I don't know who

665
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:53.000
judgment they would face right now that
is more hated final testament, I don't

666
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:59.599
know, imperium true, great point, very good point with that said,

667
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:01.920
and I think it's coming soon.
I think a Damian gun thrifeud could be

668
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.679
on the horizon if Drew McIntyre,
I guess does not resign with the company

669
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:10.159
soon. All right, AW Dynasty
preview predictions here. It's this Sunday from

670
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:14.199
the Chavetz Arena in Saint Louis,
Missouri. Let's go through the car here,

671
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:17.199
doctor Tray and give our predictions.
The first match here is the acclaimed

672
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:22.079
and Billy Gunn representing the AW World
Trios Champions taking on Bullet Club Gold,

673
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:27.360
who is the ROH World six Man
Tag Team Championship Champions. And this was

674
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:32.760
announced on the conference call today that
this is a oh god, what's the

675
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:37.480
word I'm looking for here? Where
they merge the titles unification unification match.

676
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:43.480
It's late, I'm and I'm having
a brain fart unification match, so these

677
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:47.880
titles are roh titles I guess are
going away. I'm gonna take Bullet Club

678
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:51.039
Gold in this one, Doctor Trey, Who do you like in this one?

679
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:53.639
You know, if this match is
like six months ago, how excited

680
00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:57.280
I would be for this match,
But like right now, I think like

681
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.760
both factors are kind of struggling.
Though. I'm gonna take Bullet Club Gold

682
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:05.119
just because they're a little bit more
entertaining than being claimed. And this is

683
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.599
an example of poor creative Adam Copeland, Eddie Kakeson, and Mark Brisco taking

684
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:10.679
on the House of Black and a
trios match. Who do you like this

685
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:14.320
one? Doctor Try? Uh,
this one's a little tricky, So I'm

686
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:16.760
gonna take the House of Black because
it's the trios match. Although you have

687
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:21.800
the TNT Champion, the Ring of
Outer World Champion, and the first kind

688
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.840
of Classic Champion on one team,
I'm gonna take the House of Black.

689
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:29.000
I guess I think that that way
they can get a solid win and it

690
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:34.199
doesn't damage any of their three singles
superstars on the other team. I'm gonna

691
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.119
take the House of Black as well, because I feel like a Malachi Black

692
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:39.480
and Adam Copeland match with a T
and T Championship, a double or nothing's

693
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:44.000
gonna be on the card, and
I think they want to reward Malachi Black

694
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:47.639
for helping move cmpunk down the hallway
during the all out back Sage scuffle along

695
00:50:47.639 --> 00:50:52.519
with Crassiro, who was covering his
face. Fta W rules match with the

696
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:58.559
FTW Championship hook Defense against Chris Jericho. This has been really bad creative and

697
00:50:58.719 --> 00:51:00.880
it's actually gotten to the point where
I think people are people think that it's

698
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:07.159
bad creative purposely. Now I'm gonna
take Chris Jericho, Doctor Trey see I.

699
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:10.760
I, for one, I don't
know what FTW rules are. It's

700
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:15.239
like anything goes, It's like E
c W hardcore mats. So this is

701
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:21.079
where Jericho turns full heel again.
I guess a big show, big show.

702
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:24.719
So yeah, I'm taking Jericho's I
was oest surprised. I thought you

703
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:28.159
might take hooking this one, but
I'm taking Jericho as well. No,

704
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:31.639
that doesn't make sense to keep the
title on hook. Honestly, Roger Strong

705
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:37.000
defends the aw International Championship against Kyle
O'Reilly. This has been decent build,

706
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:39.960
Doc Tray, who do you like
in this one? Uh? It's been

707
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.519
a decent Bill. I'm just surprised
that you have, like Rocky Romero being

708
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:49.159
a center point in a feud.
But no, I'm taking Roderick Strong.

709
00:51:49.559 --> 00:51:52.400
You just took the belts off Orange
cast that you put it on Roderick Strong.

710
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:55.639
Adam Cole's not on TV right now. I just figured the edesby Kames

711
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:59.440
and get involved and caused Kyle to
match. Yeah, I'm gonna take roder

712
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:01.880
Strong as well. And I just
saw a report that due to his ankle

713
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:06.079
injury, they've told Adam Cole not
to be traveling as much, which is

714
00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:09.239
a damn shame. I mean,
he has had such bad luck. The

715
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:16.159
pressure from airlines affects like circulation issues. Yeah, and I don't want to,

716
00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:20.280
but I mean, this is what
happened to Candino. Yeah, yeah,

717
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.800
yeah, I don't obviously, you
know, we don't want that at

718
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:28.119
all. Adam Cols just got to
get a bus and just like John Madden

719
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:30.199
traveling. God man, what a
tough couple of years for one of the

720
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:37.159
best in business. Julia Hart defends
the AWTBS Championship in any house rules match

721
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:40.519
against Willow Nightingale. I'm going to
take Willow Nightingale because I believe Julia Hart

722
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:44.000
is hurt. There was a report
about that a couple of weeks ago that

723
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:46.519
her shoulders banged up. She barely
wrestled on Dynamite, and I think this

724
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:51.440
could be a potential squash match on
Sunday after Troy because of the injury.

725
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:55.480
I'm taking Willow. Yeah, and
plus you gotta get the Willow Mercedes payoff

726
00:52:55.519 --> 00:52:59.519
as well. So this is a
way for Julia Hart to go off TV

727
00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:01.159
for a little bit. They just
gotta do something. It was a squash

728
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:06.239
man. You built this Julia Harden
character to be so strong, like I

729
00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:07.719
don't know, you gotta do some
kind of weird thing for it to be

730
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:13.639
a good squash match. Sky Blue
turns on her because aw loves turns because

731
00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:16.320
it's go. Okada defends the aw
Continental Championship against Pac Doctor Trey. Who

732
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:20.159
do you like in this one?
Let's see, we just gave a Kada

733
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:23.119
bunch of money. We just aligned
in with Matthew and Nicholas. As much

734
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:27.519
as I love Pak this, this
is still Ocada's match to win. Yeah,

735
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:30.360
I'm taking Ocada as well. The
Young Bucks take on FTR and I

736
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:35.599
Ladder match for the vacant AW World
Tag Team Championship. I think Jack Perry

737
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:37.360
is back in this match, back
in the Folding AW, and he helps

738
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:40.360
the Young Bucks win. So I
have the Bucks become the new AW Tag

739
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:44.800
Team Champion SoC to try. Yeah, that was my booking plans for Well

740
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:46.599
does that mean that? Does that
mean Jack Perry is now going to be

741
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:52.280
in the elite? Oh yeah,
yeah absolutely? Okay some natural heat there.

742
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:58.159
Next match is Timeless Tony Storm defending
the AW Women's World Championhip against thunder

743
00:53:58.239 --> 00:54:00.159
Rosa. I could care less about
this match. I gotta be honest.

744
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:05.280
Doctor Trey Bill has not been interesting
to me. I love Tony Storm,

745
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:07.400
I love that character, but yeah, I really don't care at all about

746
00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:10.400
this match up. I'm taking Tony
Storm just because I still like the character.

747
00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:15.800
Honestly, don't care who wins.
I'm taking Timeless Tony Storm as well.

748
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:17.079
I feel like Doctor Burt Baker's do
for a return. That would be

749
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:22.400
a bigger match for double or nothing. I do care about this match.

750
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:25.440
Will Ospray take it on Brian Danielson. I got will Ospray, Doctor Troy,

751
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.599
I got Ospray, and then I
have Ospray I guess going full babyface

752
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:36.679
afterwards. I think the cows family
gets involved. And then will Ospray defends

753
00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:42.159
Brian Daeldson the Black Bull Combat Club
against the Takeshka and Will Hobbs and whoever

754
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:45.880
else Don Callas can dig up at
the moment. And then finally, Simojoe

755
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:49.519
defends the aw World Championship against Strickland
Doctor Trey. Who do you like in

756
00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:53.480
this one? I gotta pick Swerve
of here because if he doesn't win it,

757
00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:59.039
now, when does he win it? This is what second shot?

758
00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:02.079
Now, he had the triple threat
match and in this one, I gotta

759
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:06.840
take swerve right now. I think
he's the hottest guy in the company.

760
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:12.920
H Joe doesn't always need a belt, so I think you got to capitalize

761
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:15.159
on swore while he's hot. I
got Swerve win of this match. Yeah,

762
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:17.880
I like you. This is like
the Cody Road stuff from Wrestumating a

763
00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:21.760
Night too. I mean, if
Cody didn't win that, then win will

764
00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:23.280
he win it? So? I
mean that's how I feel, exactly what

765
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:27.840
you said. If Swerve Strickland doesn't
win this match now, then when does

766
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:30.760
he win this at all? I
mean, this would be really a detriment

767
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:34.559
to his character at this point.
And does he keep Nana afterwards, because

768
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:37.159
I use full fledged babyface, but
nanas still managing the gates of agony is

769
00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:40.559
heels. So that's the only way
that I could see Somemojo winning. Funny

770
00:55:40.639 --> 00:55:45.760
enough, is if Nana turns on
Swerve and aligned with samo Joe. Yeah,

771
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.400
but I just I want to see
the Nana dance if he's still wins

772
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:52.320
Swerve after he wins the title.
Yeah, I think it's time. I

773
00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:55.559
think it's time. I think there
they are a couple months too late at

774
00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:59.480
this point for putting the title on
Swurve Strickland, but I think this is

775
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:01.800
the time. I mean legitimately,
if they don't put the title on him,

776
00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:05.280
I think this could be a detriment
to his character for the rest of

777
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:07.639
the only other finish I came up
with was that Adam Page comes out and

778
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.400
costs more of the title. Yeah, that's that's the too. No matter

779
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:15.079
what they do interfering, I just
feel like that they missed the But this

780
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:19.599
is reminding me of a couple of
years ago where everybody wanted Daniel Garcia to

781
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:24.000
turn baby face and become like a
wrestler, and AW did not go in

782
00:56:24.119 --> 00:56:27.440
that direction at all, completely missed
the boat, and I thought it was

783
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:30.840
a detriment to Daniel Garcia for like
the next year. I feel like that

784
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:35.800
they should have made Spurf Strickland AW
world champion like four months ago. Yeah,

785
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:37.639
but I would also kept him as
a heel and just look the croucher

786
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:42.760
for him. I agree with you. Yeah, it's the same thing with

787
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:45.800
MJF turned babyface. I was just
like, did he turn baby face?

788
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.719
Really like? It's like, I
still like the betters a heel. To

789
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:54.239
me, the chase is always in
the heel champion because merchandise sales, you

790
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:58.679
can sell more baby face T shirts
if he rotate the baby faces chasing the

791
00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:02.440
heel. Well. MJF came extremely
corny an email, yes, which was

792
00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:06.480
not why his character got over.
So there you go. There is AW

793
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:09.199
Dynasty previewm predictions, and we will
recap review all for you on next week's

edition of SRT You. We will
also preview and predict the WWE draft that

795
00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:17.800
