00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:37.000
and review edition of as R T
You. I am one half of the

5
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.960
show. I am Jeff Peck joined
every single week of my co host normally

6
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:46.679
Doctor Trey Franklin, Doctor Trey.
It was a wrestling Phill Memorial Day weekend.

7
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:52.159
Again, my friend, you would
think it was like WrestleMania weekend with

8
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.719
the amount of wrestling we have,
but not quite even though that wasn't that

9
00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.880
long ago. But two big pay
per views, RAS, Dynamite Collisions,

10
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:06.400
Smackdowns, it kind of felt like
a wrestle media weekend with the sheer volume

11
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.359
of wrestling we had over the past
few days. A lot of wrestling to

12
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.079
be had, and there was one
show this week that surprised the crap out

13
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:21.040
of me and dare I say may
have been the most underrated, entertaining wrestling

14
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.920
program of the entire week, And
we'll get to that later on the show.

15
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.599
Let's get into immediate recap interview here. W King of the ring.

16
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.799
It came to us this past Saturday
from the Jedi Superdome in Jededi, Saudi

17
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.760
Arabia. The first match here was
the pre show match. He had Biancle

18
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.359
bell Air and Jade Cargill defeating Indy
Hartwell and Knis the Rate to retain the

19
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.879
w Women's Tag Team Championship. We're
kind of going old school here. Fans

20
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.799
were like, Hey, go back
to your match by match recaps. We're

21
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.680
gonna do it again, folks,
and go back to those days. So

22
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.680
some notes from this one. Jade
Cargill has looked really good so far in

23
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.480
and this slow burn of the partnership
has a lot of great potent for an

24
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.840
eventual split between Cargill and Bianca Bellaire. I am really liking what I'm seeing

25
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.240
right now, Doctor Trey. Yeah, yeah, Jade looks better than expected.

26
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.759
I guess is that I guess when
you have low expectations, like anything

27
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.560
that doesn't suck, you're like,
huh, she's doing better. But I

28
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:23.439
do like the little like superhero partnership. Is it a little bit megapower ish

29
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.960
in a sense. It does kind
of feel like they're just gonna dominate this

30
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.319
division for a while. By the
way, I also loved Indy mocking Bianca's

31
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.000
braid throughout the match. I thought
that was clever and fun too, so

32
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.800
uh yeah, not a bad little
opener for the ladies to go after it

33
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.360
and for and at least the women's
tag titles are on the show and not

34
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.840
forgotten about. Next match year was
Live Morgan feeding Becky Lynch to retain the

35
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.759
WAE excuse me able to win at
the WA Women's World Championship. We both

36
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.039
had Liv Morgan winning this match.
Dom being an idiot and costing Becky the

37
00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.000
championship is he attempted to prevent Live
Morgan from winning Mommy's Championship with some pretty

38
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.919
good creative We saw that carry over
on Monday night with a rematch stel Cage

39
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.199
match Becky Lynch, who's in the
news for contractual reasons we'll cut, which

40
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.840
we will cover here later on the
program, and Live Morgan once again,

41
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.080
Dom interferes, helps Live Morgan win. He gets a kiss from Live Morgan

42
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.680
after Raw goes off the air,
so Raw running very tight to their feed

43
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.240
That was then picked up on social
media which will then fuel the rest of

44
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.960
this feud. Thoughts here as Live
Morgan wins the w Women's Championship. I

45
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.719
thought it was a really good match. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

46
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:42.199
I like the Live Revenge Tour.
I like the the potential love triangle

47
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.960
of Live Rha and Dom. Becky
worked her ass off those those two Knights.

48
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:52.560
If if this is her goodbye for
a while to WW, she she

49
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.520
went out in a blaze of glory. So Helbert job by both ladies.

50
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.080
Next match here, Sammy's Aine defeating
Chad Gable and and read in a triple

51
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.360
threat match. We're retaining w Intercountinental
Championship. We both had Sammy's saying winning

52
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:11.680
this one. Fans are organically organically
clamoring for ODIs to turn on Chad Gable,

53
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.680
and I can't wait for it to
be executed. At some point Chad

54
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.959
Gables in the news will cover him
and his contractual status later on the programming

55
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.519
as well. It reminds me of
when aw botched fans wanting to see kill

56
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:29.480
Switch turn on Christian Afterworld's End that
Awnver followed up with at All. It's

57
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.319
really cool seeing things like this organically
play out. Yeah, I did see

58
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:39.079
the comparison to what's going on with
Alpha Academy and then the Bloodline story when

59
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.519
Sammy was in it, where you
have a narcissistic leader basically berating somebody else,

60
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.759
his friend comes to the rescue,
you try to talk him out of

61
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.639
being in the group, only to
have him still stay on that side for

62
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.240
a while and then organically turn And
it's kind of is like I saw the

63
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.399
good comparison. I'm like, yeah, but if something's not broke, don't

64
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.720
fix it. It's like it worked
for that storyline, it kind of works

65
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.879
for this one too. At some
point, we're probably gonna see the Cree

66
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.240
brothers side with Gable and Otis be
against them. It'll happen at some point,

67
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.279
but for now, like it's just
good, compelling slowburn television waiting for

68
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.920
this angle to explode, just like
we saw, you know, a couple

69
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.800
of years ago with Sammy and the
Bloodline. Next match year is Nia Jackson

70
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.120
feeding Lyra Valkyrie to win the Queen
of the Ring tournament. We both had

71
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.800
Nia Jack's getting the victory. Lyra
looked really good in the losses. She

72
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.360
took it to Nia Jackson the Queen
of the Ring Finals. Nia's recent recent

73
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.519
push has been really good heading into
a title match now at SummerSlam. That

74
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.439
will be we talked about the last
week show. It broke during the podcast,

75
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.279
actually Triple H making announcement the winner
of both the Queen and King of

76
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.040
the Ring will be facing the respective
brands champion, so Nia will be going

77
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.800
against as it stands right now,
Bailey at SummerSlam. That finisher though on

78
00:05:54.040 --> 00:06:00.160
Lyra, holy crap, my my
inside shirt after that one. But she

79
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.959
looked great in a loss, Lyra
Valkira. It's one of my favorite things

80
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.639
wrestling does when someone takes an l
But they looked really good in it,

81
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.199
and Lyra did. Nia Jackson's are
queening the ring. Yeah, I thought

82
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.920
both ladies looked really well. This
was one of those matches where Lyra comes

83
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.839
out looking pretty strong because she held
her own with Nya. But did you

84
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.839
openly gasp and say, oh my
god when Nya hit that annihilator on uh

85
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.759
on Liah Alyra, I legitimately did. I was like, holy crap.

86
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.560
I watched it live and those words
were completely uttered out of my mouth.

87
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.199
Yeah, the wife and I both
went, oh my god, Okay,

88
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.759
I think she's dead. I think
she killed her like that. That was

89
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:42.839
one of Thost like just brutal looking
nihilators I've seen, and she's she came

90
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.040
out of that match. I mean, Nya came out strong Lyra came out

91
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.079
looking strong. And then the funny
part to me was Nya almost crying while

92
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.600
Triple Ah is giving her the crown
and hugging her and everything else, and

93
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:59.240
then immediately turning back into her character, like she broke gimmick for a little

94
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.680
bit, and then I went back
into the gimmick when she saw the cameras

95
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.639
focused on her. If I'm if
I know Triple h well, I'm guessing

96
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.800
he said something very sweet to Nia
Jacks that cost her to break down a

97
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.600
little bit. She is a great
talent. I mean since returning, I

98
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.839
mean, she has been a very
captivating heel. I've really enjoyed her work,

99
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.720
and this was the right call putting
the Queen of the Ring crown on

100
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.319
her head. Gun through defeats Randy
Orton and whin the King of the Ring

101
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.839
tournament. We both had gone through
and getting victory. Randy's shoulder not being

102
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:32.279
down for the pin definitely took away
from the finish for a really good methodical

103
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.680
match. Good on Corey Grace for
acknowledging the pin during the replay. They

104
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.600
further acknowledged that post show with Triple
H talking about it. They acknowledged it

105
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.879
on Raw as well, so they
kind of acknowledged the blunder there. I

106
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.720
don't think that was storyline wise because
we haven't seen it followed up this week

107
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:55.639
so far. But I mean the
ref has to be a little bit better

108
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.439
there. I mean, like stop
the pin and let them, you know,

109
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.879
get back to the finish. We
don't need to plow through this unless

110
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.480
it was meant to happen. So
it was a really good match, but

111
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.040
the finish was like, ah man, really they could have done a lot

112
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.399
better with it. Nonetheless, gun
through is the king of the ring.

113
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.959
Yeah, I mean it was a
fantastic, hard hitting match, and you're

114
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.639
right, like the finish took away
from the quality of I mean, outside

115
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.639
that finish, it's probably a match
of the night. Like it was just

116
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:28.000
good old school physical wrestling. And
you know, I give them credit for,

117
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.519
like you said, acknowledging it multiple
times throughout the weekend, but to

118
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.600
me, it just looked like they
were just a little bit out of position

119
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.720
and the referee was right where he
needed to be to make that adjustment,

120
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.759
and he didn't do it. And
most referees know, hey, if you're

121
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.519
counting the pen, you have to
make sure that shoulder's down because it does

122
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.320
ruin the credibility of the match if
especially if it's in plain sight. If

123
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.120
he'd been on the opposite shoulder of
Randy and it happened, it would have

124
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.440
made sense that he missed it.
But he was right there. Well,

125
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.200
I waited with the falls. But
by the way, like even the Friday

126
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.840
Night show, the match be thing
Randy and Tama leading into King of the

127
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.440
Ring was really well done and it
got Kevin Owens to Saudi Arabia, So

128
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:15.200
there you go. That's fun as
well. Kevin has been making the run

129
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.960
over to Saudi Arabia since Sammy started
making it as well, so I know

130
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.559
that was a thing a couple of
years ago, but nice to see Kevin

131
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:24.399
Owens there. He also did a
great job on the pre show. And

132
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.399
then finally the main event here,
Cody Rhades defeats Logan Paul to retain the

133
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.159
WE Undisputed Championship. We both had
Cody getting a victory the Logan Poul Michael

134
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.200
Cole storyline heading into This one was
interesting because I wonder if it actually leads

135
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.759
to something with them or even Corey
Graves down the road, as there was

136
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.320
back and forth with Logan Paul and
Michael Cole at the announced table and then

137
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.759
Corey Graves is getting involved. The
seamless transition Logan Paul has had into wrestling

138
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.519
surprises me every single time. He
held his own with one of the best

139
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.919
in the business day Cody Rhodes,
and I mean, it's I'm a broke

140
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.240
record here to be like, I
can't believe how good this guy has been

141
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.000
in professional wrestling with what less than
ten matches under his belt. But that's

142
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.159
like legitimately it. It does not
look like a celebrity or a YouTuber or

143
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.559
quasi part time wrestler. I mean, this is someone that looks, like

144
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.320
he said, ten years under his
belt. I mean he has really picked

145
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.480
it up. Good match, as
Cody Rose retains. Yeah, I always

146
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.639
give Logan Paul the credit that he
has erves for being so good, for

147
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.240
being so new to pro wrestling,
Like you said, like maybe ten twelve

148
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.159
matches under his belt. But then
again, if you look at everybody he's

149
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.919
worked with, like he's everybody he's
worked with are good solid workers as well.

150
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:46.240
Like if you look at Cody Seth
Robin Ko or like Ray Mysterio Miss

151
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.399
like he's not really had a wrestler
he's had to carry in a match yet,

152
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.919
so he looks great. But I
gotta give the other guys their credit

153
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.480
as well for you know, working
Logan through a good match. Cody's no

154
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.480
exception. That match was really well, really well laid out, great storytelling,

155
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.519
and between the Logan Paul stuff at
King of the Ring and then the

156
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.679
Dominic stuff post show Monday Night,
Michael Cole might be the new dad of

157
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.360
WW just scolding the young boys for
doing the wrong thing, like you're cheating,

158
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.000
you lied, and then scolding Dominic
for costing you know, Becky two

159
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.919
matches. So kudos to Michael Cole
for just standing up and being like the

160
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.679
ultra dad of WWE as well.
Yeah, people may like ear Mark being

161
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.440
that Vince has gone not in this
ear anymore, that he's kind of showcased

162
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.679
his personality. I would say,
really, ever since McAfee came aboard WI,

163
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:45.320
he has been very Jr. Esque
in that sense, Like I love

164
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:50.159
that Jim Ross was kind of doing
commentary without a Governor on and just was

165
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.879
commenting how he felt. And that's
what you're seeing play out with Michael Cole.

166
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.120
Maybe he has a little bit of
lines or a direction that he has

167
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.799
given, but he is He's really
done an amazing job, and it kind

168
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.879
of gets glossed over all the time. How well and emotionally he's been as

169
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.240
a commentator as of late, I
think he is the best in the business

170
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.039
today, With all due respect to
other people like Excalibur, I really enjoy

171
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.879
Michael Cole's work lately. Pay perview
prediction record from King and Queen the Ring,

172
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.360
we both went five and oh coming
out of this one. I met

173
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:26.000
fifty five and eight Doctor Trey's at
fifty and thirteen Match of the Night and

174
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.679
event rating. I gave Match of
the Night still to Gun through Randy Weren't,

175
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.519
which maybe is a surprise, and
I gave King and Queen of the

176
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.679
Ring a three point eight out of
five Doctor Trey what say you Yeah?

177
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.600
I actually went Cody and Logan just
and mainly it's just because of the messed

178
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.279
up pinfall at the end of Randy
and Gunther So I went Cody and Logan

179
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.279
and I was at three point nine
there, he goes, They're probably been

180
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.919
around one another there, which has
been a while for some of the shows

181
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.320
Doctor Trey and I have been doing, which is nice to see, nice

182
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.159
to say we're back on the same
page, Doctor Trey. Any other matches

183
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.200
in moments, she want to discuss
all I had down for me just overall

184
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.360
from the show. I thought,
again, we talked about it, you

185
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.360
talked about Doctor Trey. Slow burning. Creative is becoming more common in WA

186
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.639
with Jade and Bianca Live in Rhea
slash Judgment Day Chad Gable Otis and I

187
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.919
am completely here for it. I
love that they're doing this. Yeah,

188
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.799
the stuff with dom and Rhea and
Live makes me wonder and you can see

189
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.720
it also with the with the reaction
that Damian Prescott on money, and it

190
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:35.039
makes me think that part of Judgment
Day might go babyface, like they might

191
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.039
split it because you see the stuff
with Carlito and dom and then you know

192
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.159
Carlito can't be in the room,
but you know, like there's these weird

193
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.519
affiliations with Judgment Day. So to
me, I think at some point you're

194
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.720
gonna see Judgment Day split and Dominic
get his own heel faction because you can't

195
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.639
make Dominic a baby face because the
crowd loves the boom. But you might

196
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.639
see Judgment Day split, which makes
sense to hey, Gunther wins King of

197
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.200
the Ring Dunth and Damian Priest the
Summer Slam. If Damien's a babyface makes

198
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.960
a ton of sense as well.
So I think that where it might be

199
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.960
trending for all that. Plus I
think this stuff did. By the way,

200
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.840
this with Logan Paul, it might
lead to Logan Paul and Paul McAfee

201
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:18.240
or Pat McAfee, Sorry, Logan
Paul, Pat McAfee had a SummerSlam with

202
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.360
Pats taking up for Michael Cole in
that role. That would be interesting.

203
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.759
I would love to see Corey Graves
back in there. People tend to forget

204
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.840
how good he was ten plus years
ago on the NXT brand, actually a

205
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:35.399
former champion with current AW star Pac
Pac then known as Neville Adrian Neville on

206
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.200
NXT caaring over to Oly Wrestling Double
or Nothing Reekaprivia this past Sunday from the

207
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.159
MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas
slash Paradise, Nevada, the five year

208
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.399
celebration of AW back to where it
all started. Some of the buy in

209
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.200
matches, Doctor Treyo Diana Prazzo defeating
thunder Rosa. We did not predict this

210
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.639
match. I thought it was a
good start to the show. That felt

211
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.600
like these two great women wrestlers wanted
to send a message for being on the

212
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.200
buy in and not being on the
main show. Yeah, solid match.

213
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.759
Plus you had the heel getting to
win by holding the rope, So that's

214
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.240
good for Deanna because one of the
issues I always have with AAW is defining

215
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:15.240
roles is who's a baby facing,
who's the heel, And Deanna is kind

216
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.200
of a baby face, but she's
way better as a heel, so that

217
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.279
works out as well. So but
those to them. I don't know if

218
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.240
Deanna Parazzo can have a bad match. Thunder Rosa never has a bad match,

219
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.559
So like, I'm on board of
those ladies going at it. You

220
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.600
put those guys on every show and
I'd be fine with him. The Acclaim

221
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.919
defeats Cage of Agony. Let that
one settle in in a trios match.

222
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.799
We did not predict this match.
I wonder if Bowen's receiving a letter from

223
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.159
a fan before the match will be
followed up at all. It was not

224
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.360
on aw Dynamite this past Wednesday,
as it felt like a storyline there he

225
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:56.039
is going for the getting scissor made
from the fans and a planted wrestler puts

226
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.440
a note in between his fingers.
So hopefully that gets followed up on in

227
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.120
rampay or Collision this week. Uh. And then also, Cage of Agony

228
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.679
is an awful name. I mean
just ended there. What what what person

229
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.600
came up with that? That was
awful? There was the last minute like

230
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.679
we can't use let's let's not use
gates. What can we use this nut?

231
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.600
It's metal? Uh and confining.
Hey, we have cages in this

232
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.159
Brian cage. We just called them
cage of a Cage of Agony. Sounds

233
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.600
like a Steven Sagall action movie.
No, you're being kind. I was

234
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.759
going more rated at Triple X.
Yeah, that and that was gonna go

235
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:36.799
for like bad TNA pay per view
name fair well, but yeah, and

236
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.200
I don't get like so we just
featured the Gates of Agony in this whole

237
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.240
turn angle against the world champion a
couple of weeks ago, and now they're

238
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.360
losing out to the acclaimed in Daddy
Ass. Like I just it's It's what

239
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.240
was the whole point of the big
turn If you're just gonna have them lose

240
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:57.799
on a pre show match at a
pay per view, Yeah, I don't

241
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:03.960
know. I don't know. Sometimes
main guard here, Will Ospray defeats Roger

242
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.799
Strong to win the AW International Championship. We both had Will Ospray winning this

243
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.880
match. Does Ospray have a bad
match? If so, what does that

244
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.359
look like? Because this was the
perfect start for the show. Really enjoyed

245
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:22.000
this match, fast, hard hitting, great ring work, incredibly enjoyable matches.

246
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.880
Ospreys our new aw International champion.
I will say like it was a

247
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:33.799
great match. I will say the
one thing I hated was that leaping doomsday

248
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:40.640
device that the Kingdom hit on Ospray
early in the match, and Ospray had

249
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.599
landed on his head. He's back
in the match ten seconds later. Like

250
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.000
that move literally like damn near paralyzed
people and it's heyday, and it's a

251
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.599
move they hit on the floor.
Osprey almost breaks his neck and then he's

252
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.039
back up and going ten seconds later. So that's one of my issues I

253
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.599
have with AW is they kind of
kill certain moves by how fast guys get

254
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.400
back up. But outside of that
that match was fantastic and like you said,

255
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:12.960
I don't think either guy can have
a bad match, So it's almost

256
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.039
too good of a match to have
as the opener for your pay per view.

257
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.200
Rare move by AW, and I
don't know when we'll get a chance

258
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.920
to talk about on the episode,
so let's talk about it now. MGF

259
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.000
returns to AAW. He takes out
Adam Cole and says he is all elite,

260
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:32.119
which we all believed he was.
He has been under contract to a

261
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:37.400
new deal. It Reportedly he's the
highest paid wrestler on the AW roster since

262
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.200
twenty twenty two, so for the
last like twenty or twenty two months somewhere

263
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.119
around there. He has signed an
extension. Unknown how long. He has

264
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.960
a tattoo on his leg saying bet
on yourself at the AW logo. Came

265
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.759
back with like a new, refreshed
look. Acknowledged that his character before he

266
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.279
was off of TV or off of
TV the last five months was kind of

267
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:03.839
getting stale, made fun of the
friendship and the kangaroo kick, and said

268
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.359
that he's getting back to hate.
Kind of a nod to Triple H.

269
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.200
With the return Denim Leather jacket from
twenty twenty excuse me two thousand and two

270
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:17.279
when Triple H returned to we at
MSG and was broughting that for a while.

271
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.119
Reports are out right now that MJF
has some creative ideas that are completely

272
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.960
out of left field. He looks
rejuvenated, he looks rebooted. If you're

273
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:33.839
looking for someone to help jump start
the brand again, aw, MJF is

274
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.079
the guy. Good segment, Doctor
Trey. They also the other thing on

275
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:42.480
this report is that they had him
take out Adam Cole to blow off the

276
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:48.119
stuff between he and Adam Cole because
Cole is still quote nowhere near a return,

277
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.960
which is really sad because we're coming
up on a year from this ankle

278
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:59.240
injury and also concerning so I guess
that was like a way to write it

279
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:03.480
off, which I aw creative doing
and tying that up because I wouldn't want

280
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.920
to see him return and completely ignore
what took place five months ago. Nonetheless,

281
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.440
the former AW world champion is back, Doctor Trey. Yeah, the

282
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.440
segment was really good. Like the
first thing I thought of I saw the

283
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.960
denim j the jack at COMBA was
the Triple Ah return, So like that

284
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.440
was immediately the first thing I saw. Promo's really well done. My only

285
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.759
thing is I would have placed it
a little bit later in the show because

286
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.160
if you're if mjf's your top paid
guy and one of your featured guys,

287
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.880
hey maybe move it to like the
three quarter mark of the show and not

288
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.319
the match, the segment right after
the opening match, because this is the

289
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:42.799
guy you're building on. This is
your franchise player, This is your Shane

290
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:48.519
Douglas ECW, this is your Triple
As John CWW, this is your guy.

291
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.440
They don't do that segment early in
the show on any of those other

292
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.039
companies. They do it a little
bit later to get that big blowoff pop

293
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.519
and also helped save the audience for
the main event. So placement, bad,

294
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.359
segment good. I understand your point
there on the audience, a live

295
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.160
audience. I actually kind of liked
the plan still because it was early on

296
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.720
in the show where you just came
off the red Hot Osprey Roger strong match

297
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.480
and then came off of you know, a surprising segment that got the people

298
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.119
on their feet. I didn't mind
it, but I do completely understand where

299
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:22.240
you meant, like, hey,
maybe put this in towards the end of

300
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.039
the show to get the crowd back
up heading to the main event levels.

301
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:33.079
So MJF is back in All Elite
Wrestling and he will be back on Dynamite

302
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.200
this Wednesday as well. I thought
they had another missed opportunity there, like

303
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.119
they should have followed that up on
this past Wednesdays Dynamite, but that's tends

304
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.920
to go how it is sometimes with
MJF and his appearances. Next match,

305
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.680
yere is Bang Bang Gang defeating Death
Triangle in a trios match, retaining the

306
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.920
Unified World Trios Championship. We both
had the Bang Bang Gang after watching this

307
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.039
match, I really hope and want
to see the trio's division really take off

308
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.720
as it could be a really entertaining
watch. As predicted, Juice Robinson return

309
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:06.000
help the Bang Bang Gang brothers retain
the match and the championship. Doctor Tray

310
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.799
your thoughts on this one. Yeah, really fun triple or really fun stix

311
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:15.000
Man tag loves Hee, Juice Robinson
back and just like the trios title could

312
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.839
be really great in AW just because
of the sheer volume of stables that we

313
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:23.680
have in AW. It's a good
way to keep groups active and not just

314
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:29.680
stall out in storylines. So There's
plenty of challengers they can throw at the

315
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.720
Bang Bang Gang and they are arguably
outside of sort of strictly still the most

316
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.599
entertaining act in AW times. Tony
Storm defeats Serena Deeb to retain the aw

317
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.240
Wodman's World Championship. We both at
times, Tony Storm, we have a

318
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.799
victory. I hope AW capitalizes on
the fans chairing for the heal Tony Storm

319
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.000
rather than the babyface Serena Deep and
I feel like they will because Deep acknowledge

320
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.519
the crowd charing for Storm at points
in the match. Same with how they

321
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.400
will play off of Mariah May wanted
to throw in the title, only to

322
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.599
be stopped by Luther, who then
got blamed for trying to throw the towel

323
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.279
in by timeless Tony Storm. This
match got better as the bout went on,

324
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.400
and you could feel both women felt
the momentum build towards the finish.

325
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.400
Really enjoyable match. It's a shame
they didn't follow it up on Wednesday's Dynamite.

326
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.880
There was a segment where I believe
it was supposed to be Siraya taking

327
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:18.319
on I think Mariah May, which
is now carried over to next Wednesday's Dynamite.

328
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.160
They could have followed up from some
of this stuff. I guess again,

329
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.000
we'll just have to see if stuff
gets followed up on Rampage and Collision

330
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:29.480
this week. Nonetheless, this was
a really good match that got better as

331
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.599
it went on. Doctor Trey,
This is almost to me like one of

332
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:36.519
those perfect kind of matches in the
sense of where you have like the great

333
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:41.839
wrestler who may not have a ton
of personality versus the great personality who's a

334
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.440
solid wrestler, and sometimes when those
two entities meet up, you have great

335
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.680
matches. And this is one of
those examples where it's like Siria Deeb is

336
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:53.079
like Deanna Parrazzo and Thunder Wrestlers.
She doesn't really or have a bad match

337
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:59.559
Tony Storm, great character. Sometimes
matches are hit and miss, but this

338
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.519
would really well. It got better
went on. They felt more confident as

339
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.279
a match went on, and it
laid out pretty well. So great solid

340
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.440
match for these two. Next match
here is Orange Casside defeats Trent and BURRETTA

341
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.720
we both hat Trump Barrett again the
victory here. Really digging the character development

342
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.119
for both wrestlers in this feud.
From Bretta becoming a sociopath to the darker

343
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:23.799
colors, black sunglasses, black shirt
for Orange Cassidy. Great stuff and feud

344
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.559
from both guys. AW needs to
use this stuff, needs to use stuff

345
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:32.880
like this as a blueprint for their
creative I know we've kind of trashed some

346
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.400
things that weren't followed up on Dynamite
this past Wednesday. However, this was

347
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:41.160
followed up up on Wednesdays Dynamite where
Don Challis offered a spot to the Calls

348
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.920
family to Orange Cassidy. He turned
it down. Trent Bretta accepted, Chris

349
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.039
Statlander and Sookly Hathaway, which we'll
get towards them later on in this recap

350
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:55.519
came out and accepted. They kind
of tied off their recent storyline stuff that

351
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:59.920
we'll talk about here shortly in that
segment as well. Orange Cassidy than Don

352
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.839
all the black again in the match, which I thought was interesting, and

353
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.759
we'll see how that develops. This
is a blueprint of how a good feud

354
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:14.119
and entertaining feud and great in ring
stuff can happen on lawlid Wrestling and hat

355
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.079
tipped everybody involved here. Doctor Trey's
Orange Cassidy got the victory. Yeah.

356
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.480
The only thing about this is I
like the black shirt Orange Cassidy, the

357
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:27.000
edge eared Orange Cassidy, But why
didn't we bring this side out at least

358
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:33.759
once during the John Moxley stuff like
this could be his demon for Finn Valor?

359
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.200
Is this you know edgier Orange Cassidy. Look, it's a good way

360
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:42.480
to also refresh the character because it
shows another layer to the Orange Cassidy character

361
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:45.799
that we haven't seen before. So
that part's great. The storyline, the

362
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:51.839
storytelling, the way they're actually tying
the ends up in this angle is what

363
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.039
you and I have been asking for, so we I get really happy about

364
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:59.559
it. And I forgot to mention
this for the first match. Don Cals's

365
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.240
on common terry for will Ospray's match, and they actually brought that up that

366
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.799
Osprey was supposed to be the count
in part of don Kal's family. He's

367
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.000
like, well, it's an affiliation, you know. It's like okay,

368
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:14.400
So they're trying to tie some stuff
together. They're listening to the audience and

369
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:18.039
like, hey, we need to
make some storylines make sense and not stop

370
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.759
and start. So I give this. This match was really well done and

371
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.599
really fun and they're actually doing what
we've been asking, which is, hey,

372
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.240
we want some stories to go to
the great wrestling and then make the

373
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:33.079
stuff make sense, even if it's
a loose storyline coming together. We just

374
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.599
want to feel like there's a story
to give depth to the characters and the

375
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.599
action in the race. Next match
here is Chris Jericho defeting Hook and Kattie

376
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.680
or Shabad in a three way FTW
rules match, retaining the FTW Championship,

377
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.359
both at Jericho getting the victory.
I just would like to see something different

378
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.680
from Jericho and aw where as some
sort of state instead of it where he

379
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.559
has some sort of stable televiate wrestlers, with the addition now the bounty hunter

380
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:03.240
Brian Keith to join he and Big
Big Bill. I almost called them big

381
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.359
casts in the Learning Tree group.
It's it's like we've seen this play out

382
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.279
with the Jericho Appreciation Society, the
Inner Circle. And while I like this

383
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:18.720
new iteration of Chris Jericho where he's
like this eighties babyface that doesn't understand why,

384
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.880
like the crowd is booing him or
whatever, it's like we've seen the

385
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:26.640
stable stuff play out so often.
Anyway, Jericho gets the victory we see

386
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.920
it play out on Wednesday's Dynamite a
little bit more as Brian Keith explains why

387
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.720
he joined up and now Simo Joe's
got involved with Hook, which I'm digging.

388
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.880
Doctor Trey, your thoughts on this
one, Yeah, it's interesting.

389
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.000
I don't know, like, have
they said the name of the group is

390
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.519
like the Learning Tree Group or the
Learning Like, have they said it's called

391
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.279
their Like have they actually gave it
an official name yet? They have not?

392
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.759
Not yet, because the Learning Tree
does sound like, you know,

393
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.599
a school for people with like special
needs, so like, I'm a little

394
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.839
like leary of that. But even
this iteration, Jericho's one of those ones

395
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.079
where I'm like, I'm not sold
on, Like it's funny, but I

396
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.880
saw this with Johnny Swinger and TNA
where he was basically acting like an Eddie's

397
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.880
babyface, so I've kind of seen
it, so it's not that fresh to

398
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:17.079
me. But anything with Jericho usually
I can get entertained by, Like this

399
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:22.400
match itself I really didn't care for, which was a disappointment because usually with

400
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.359
Jericho and Shabada and Hook, you
put those guys in a match, it

401
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:30.880
should be fantastic, And this one
was eh, so like I think I'm

402
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.759
with you. Like to me,
Jericho in a mid car with a mid

403
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.480
cart stable is just kind of wasting
Jericho's what you could actually use him for.

404
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:42.720
So I just I'm just on this
whole thing right now. Next match

405
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.839
here is John Moxley defeeding Kenoski,
Takeshka and an IWGPU World of aweight Championship

406
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:52.559
eliminator match. We both at Maxleig
getting victory. Interesting how the commentators post

407
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.960
match blamed Takeshka listening to callous by
bringing in the chairs that cost him the

408
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.839
match. They did not follow up
on that on Wednesday's time. In my

409
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.119
also, Rick Knox is an interesting
referee as he clearly saw mox throw the

410
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.319
chair out of the ring in this
uh and it was it definitely was not

411
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:14.559
a new Japan style booked match here, Doctor Trey is John Moxley retained defend

412
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.960
Kenoski to Keshka. Yeah, this
is another match where I was kind of

413
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.880
like like I was really excited for
this match and it just and maybe us

414
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:25.400
to finish the finish has kind of
brought it down for me because overall,

415
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:29.559
like I was like super ceverge match
because I like Takeshka a lot. Everything

416
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.680
he's done so far in AW,
he's been fantastic. Obviously, Moxley is

417
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.400
just the star wart workhorse of AW. Even when he doesn't want to work,

418
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.680
he ends up working matches anyway.
But this match and the finish and

419
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.799
then the obvious, like you know, the referee obviously sees I mean just

420
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.519
like we saw it king in the
ring. It's like, damn just either

421
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.359
makes the ref look bad or makes
the match look bad. So it kind

422
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.119
of brought it down for me.
So it was it was good, but

423
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:57.039
it could have been way better to
finish it been tightened up a little bit.

424
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:02.359
Next match is Adam Copeland feeding Malachai
Black and a barbed wires steel cage

425
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.680
match retaining a W ten TE championship. I had Adam Copeland, Doctor Tray

426
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:11.279
and Malachai Black. Uh. It's
a damn shame that Copeland fractured as tibby

427
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.160
in this match and heat surgery after
that gnarly elbow drop spot. It's it's

428
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:22.960
also amazing he didn't get more hurt
in that spot. It's nice to see

429
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.519
gran Gangrell get his flowers this match
and school that Copeland has wanted to get

430
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.599
him a chance to receive these flowers, because you keep hearing like the amount

431
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.519
of times he wants to get Gang
Grell involved. It's really unfortunate we won't

432
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.839
be able to see this immediate play
out following this match due to Copeland's injury.

433
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.400
We'll talk a little bit more about
the T and T Championship here briefly

434
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.920
and what's going on with that Doctor
Trey. But Adam Copland defeats Malachai Black

435
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:49.880
to retain the title he has now
unfortunately been stripped off. Yeah, and

436
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.799
once again, like to me,
like you called it for on our on

437
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.160
our previous show, you said,
Grell get involved. I love seeing it.

438
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:04.240
I was surprised the brood on the
on the tron, which aren't you

439
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:08.640
amazed that w does it still hold
the trademark to that They let a lot

440
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:12.279
of things lap like that was something
I thought they might hang on to.

441
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.759
But you know, it proved his
point. He was right. The crowd

442
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.759
remembered who Dan Grill was and popped
for it, so that's great. I

443
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.279
also liked the little homage to I
don't know, I don't know if you

444
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:27.640
want to call it like an homage
to the Judgment Day turning on Adam Copeland.

445
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:30.960
But like the clothes line from Brody
King on Copeland when they looked like

446
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.799
they were sighting with him, I
thought that was kind of like a throwback

447
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:40.400
to Damian Priest taking out Edge,
like you know, with the whole Judgment

448
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:41.880
Day thing. So but overall,
it is a shame that, you know,

449
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.400
with the injury, the sort to
throw things out of whack. And

450
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.839
it is also ironic because I had
just listened to his appearance on the Chris

451
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.880
Van Valley Show where they talked about
Matt Hardy coming off the top of the

452
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.240
cage with the leg drop and how
Matt basically couldn't walk for weeks after that

453
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.400
leg drop, and then Edge gets
injured doing something semi so, so it

454
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:04.799
just sucks for everybody involved because this
has been really entertaining, has been really

455
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.759
fine, and even if this was
the blowoff, like you would have wanted

456
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.079
to see some kind of continuation for
these guys even to go separate directions to

457
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:16.079
build off this, and now it's
just kind of like a stop for all

458
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:19.759
parties involved because you have to kind
of figure out where you go next with

459
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.799
everybody. Yeah, and I haven't
seen the timetable and when they expect he'll

460
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.519
be out for but I mean it's
got to be anywhere between six and twelve

461
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:29.799
months, which is like just a
mass blow for AW two loose Eddie Kingston

462
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:34.319
and Adam Copeland too broken legs in
less than a month. I mean Copeland.

463
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:40.119
I felt like Adam Copeland started to
get more acclimated to the AW world

464
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:44.240
and was really starting to get going
with this fewd and it's like, oh

465
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:51.400
man, it's like whenever Copeland gets
going, he gets completely an injury happens,

466
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:53.000
and now he's gone. We saw
this play out in WWE when he

467
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:59.559
returned in twenty twenty and he got
hurt like five months in interested he acknowledged

468
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.240
that that probably it's his body,
saying like, yo, dude, you

469
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:06.799
have got to slow down. And
it's kind of funny that ww was trying

470
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:09.400
to do that with him instead of
playing you know, wrestler every single week.

471
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:14.200
But it's a damn shame, absolute
damn shame. And now we have

472
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:17.000
a TNT Championship tournament taking place.
Doctor Trey. For a second, I

473
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:20.039
was like, oh man, are
they just going to hand the title Jack

474
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.240
Perry here, which creatively actually would
have made sense. But I'm happy that

475
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:28.400
we're going to see some sort of
qualifying match matches take place, and there's

476
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:34.319
gonna be like a tournament final of
sorts in a ladder match for Forbidden Dora.

477
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.160
I'm digging that it's gonna be playing
out creatively that way. Yeah,

478
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.400
it makes sense because you want people
to earn it now. Honestly, Like

479
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:45.200
what I would love to see is
basically there's like qualifiers and then you get

480
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.680
five people you know who have fought
their way in and then for Matt and

481
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:51.799
Nick to go, oh yeah,
and Jackson this match now too, and

482
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:54.279
I woantn't be surprised if that happens. That would help. That's how I

483
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.000
would kind of book it to like
at least set it up that way,

484
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.799
so that way it lends Cream's the
character because I don't know. Once again,

485
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:05.960
you and I talked about Jack Parry's
one hundred and sixty pounds. He's

486
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:09.719
barely bigger than Marco Stunt. So
sometimes when he's in a match, you

487
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:15.880
have to put him in positions where
he can win just on brain power then

488
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:20.559
physical attributes. So doing it like
that would make a lot of sense.

489
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:25.440
Next match here is Mercedes mone defeating
Willow Nightingale to win the aw TBS Championship.

490
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.400
We both had Mercedes Monee getting the
victory. I love the technical focus

491
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.320
on softening the legs of their opponent
on each lady. The finish was kind

492
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:38.039
of clunky indeed, and it didn't
build up well, but Mercedes has not

493
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.840
lost a step in the ring.
I thought Money would have been booed going

494
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:44.880
into this one, and I felt
bad that Willow was a transitional champion.

495
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:47.559
Monet was not booed at all.
It was building that way and it did

496
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.559
not take place in Las Vegas.
Statlander and Stokely turning on Willow post match

497
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:53.880
was surprising, and I wonder if
Trump writer played a role in this.

498
00:34:54.000 --> 00:35:00.119
Now they did not. They kind
of acknowledge that potentially on Dynamite, because

499
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.760
you would see when all these situations
happened, Statlander would come out, Bretta

500
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.960
would whisper in her ear, and
then he would walk away and she would

501
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.800
kind of look perplexed. And I
wonder if that had some stuff that was

502
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.400
going on that led to this turn, and I would love to see that,

503
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.239
you know, kind of alluded to
a little bit more on aw television

504
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.840
if that was something they were trying
to creatively get done. Nonetheless, Mercedes

505
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.599
Monee defeats well and Nightingaleen is the
new AWTBS champion. Dot to try.

506
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.000
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't
hate this match as much as I thought

507
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:32.679
I would hate this match. But
I didn't love this match either, like

508
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:37.760
it's it's usually in this Like you're
right, MERCEDESMANI has not lost a step.

509
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:43.559
Sometimes when she's wrestling people that are
maybe a little bit below her level,

510
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:46.480
she drops to their level. I
thought she carried herself as well as

511
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:50.840
she carried Willow, so I thought
it was a pretty good match all things

512
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:57.079
considered. I am I am perplexed
by Statlander the whole situation with the don

513
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.239
Kallis family, because I don't remember
ever there being a faction that had two

514
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.400
managers in the faction. Like That'll
be interesting to see how that dynamic plays

515
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.320
out if indeed Stokely is in the
don Kallis family. I well, the

516
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:15.599
Statlanders stuff. I don't think she
joined them though, Yeah, and she's

517
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:21.360
not really not joining them either,
No, I don't. I think we

518
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:23.280
just have to see that play out
a little bit more. I don't think

519
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:29.880
that she and Stokely joined the Don
Callis family. I think that they just

520
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.159
basically acknowledged that Trump may have played
a role in it, which I which

521
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.559
I thought was really good creative on
that standpoint. But yeah, and I

522
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:42.159
thought that that's it's a good way
of turning it. But then like a

523
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:45.000
the same time, I like going, well, but if if she's yeah,

524
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.400
it's just I'll wait to plays out
because I love I actually like Stokely

525
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.480
Hathaway a lot. I think he's
very, very underrated in what he does,

526
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.719
so I like I was. That's
why back in the day I was

527
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:59.880
excited for the firm. Could it
be Stokely on a bigger platform? So

528
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.199
I like Stokely getting TV time a
long, and I think stat Lander as

529
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.519
a heel is going to be great, So I'm really excited for that.

530
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:13.119
It's just the the movements to get
there are kind of intertwined, and I

531
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:16.320
need to unravel it a little bit. Next match here, Swerve Strickland defeating

532
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.639
Christian Kates retaining the AW World Champions. You're both at Swerve Strickling getting the

533
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.639
victory. This match made me feel
like Swerve is now a world champion.

534
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:29.159
Christian helped Swerve look and feel ligitimate. If there were any doubters out there,

535
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:31.800
the house call kick while Christian was
going for a spirit was an awesome

536
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:37.159
spot. They have done a really
good job of making Swerve Strickland look like

537
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:43.679
a legitimate force as world champion.
And I'm digging at Doctor Trey for two

538
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:46.840
guys that have been harsh on aw
Lay as we've been pointed out as you

539
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:51.559
got it, I have got to
give them credit that I think the creative

540
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:57.440
of Swerve in these matches he's had
has been really good. Your thoughts on

541
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.840
this one A Swerve Strickland retains,
Yeah, I love this match because I

542
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.760
hated that there's going to be a
winner and a loser's match, because I've

543
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:09.360
loved everything Christian Cage has done since
he started this whole patriarchy angle, like

544
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:14.559
I love it. I love aultree
heels. I love those guys that don't

545
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:16.840
give a crap if anybody ever cheers
them again, Like, I love that

546
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:20.800
stuff, and the Swarve stuff has
been It's been a little bit of a

547
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:22.400
roller coach for me because I like
Swerve as the heel, but I'm really

548
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:27.920
gravitating towards him now as a Babyface. This match was one of those matches

549
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:29.719
where, to me, if you're
watching this, you're like, damn,

550
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.840
he just made that guy a bigger
star. What AW needs to do now

551
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:38.239
is get Swerve out more into the
public because he is the hottest act on

552
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:45.239
their show. You need mainstream attention
on him as well, so that elevates

553
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.840
the entire brand and elevates his star
level. Because when people go, hey,

554
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:52.440
Aw's got all these guys from WWE, who's their champion and you say,

555
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.199
oh, yeah, Swerve strictly,
you're still gonna get a lot of

556
00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:00.079
who They need to get him out
there more in the public so casual wrestling

557
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.960
fans know who he is and that
helps elevate his starter because right now he's

558
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:07.239
on a rocket ship and you need
to take advantage of this. And then

559
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.239
finally the main event, the Elite
because it'scho called a jack Perry Matthew Nicholas

560
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:15.320
Jackson defeat Team AW Bryan Danielson,
Darby, Allen Cash, Wheeler and Dax

561
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:20.079
Hardwood an anarchy in the arena match, we both had the Elite get and

562
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:23.880
the victory. They need to consider
having music play throughout the entire match because

563
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:27.679
it is a really cool atmosphere when
it is playing. They were doing that

564
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:31.320
with final countdown and then it was
a very funny moment where Matthew Jackson had

565
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.880
them stop because of how much it
costs, and like that's actually a legitimate

566
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.079
thing. Every time it's played,
it like costs them like two hundred and

567
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:44.159
fifty thousand dollars. This is probably
aw's most fun match concept that they have

568
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:49.360
created, even though the Casino Gauntlet
match that I watched on Wednesday's Dynamite and

569
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:52.079
now that's the second time they've done
that, may be in the running for

570
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.199
it as well. It was entertaining
and an engaging match. The only thing

571
00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:59.400
is that it can be hard to
follow what happened to the other wrestlers for

572
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:01.960
a while. Jack Perry getting the
finishing blow on Danielson was great for his

573
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:07.400
character as well. We saw that
get followed up on Wednesdays Dynamite. The

574
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:12.719
fire spot with him was ballsy and
something that will be remembered in AW history

575
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.920
for a long time. Really enjoyable
match for me. Doctor Trey is the

576
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:21.719
Elite wins an arcade they arena.
So is the stadium Stampede match still a

577
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:25.079
thing or has this replaced it.
I think this has replaced it because they're

578
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:29.559
not in the stadium anymore. Okay, so yeah, because this, to

579
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:36.840
me was the most fun one I
have seen since maybe the second Stadium stampede

580
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:39.440
they did. This was just it
was fun. It is hard to follow

581
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:45.440
you have eight guys fighting in other
parts of the of the arena. It's

582
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:47.760
you almost have to go like quad
screen. You can't do split screen.

583
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:52.840
You have to like almost have four
different screams up to follow the action because

584
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.159
it's hard to know for camera cuts
when to jump to this guy, when

585
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:59.719
to jump to this action. You
really have to play it out in detail

586
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.280
with your pa, with your director
as to when to cut to certain things.

587
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:05.800
But outside of that, I mean, that's the only negative I have

588
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.880
other than that it was fun.
It was great for everybody involved. The

589
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.320
flame throwers, the fire like,
all this stuff that we haven't seen in

590
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:21.559
any of the previous entities in this
match was fun as well. And at

591
00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:23.480
least it's Jack Parry, Like you
also had Jack Perry in a match with

592
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:27.480
two guys that are about his size, so at least it makes it look

593
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:30.480
more credible when he hits a finisher
and gets a win, you know,

594
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:35.440
like Darby's his size, dances his
size, even Dax and Dash aren't or

595
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:39.119
Dacks in Cash aren't that much bigger
than him, so at least it lends

596
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:43.039
credibility. I mean, and even
the Bucks aren't that big. Like when

597
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:46.199
Kazushka Okada is the biggest guy in
an eight man tag match, that's really

598
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:51.440
telling on the size of the wrestlers
involved. So but I thought everybody came

599
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.039
out. Look he's strong. But
it did more for the aw stuff.

600
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:57.039
And like you said, the music
stuff is great. I really like these

601
00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.199
big matches like this, when you've
got stuff going over where everywhere, be

602
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.639
really cool. Like if you had
two guys Funny over here they have their

603
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.280
own soundtrack playing, and two guys
over here they have a completely different soundtrack

604
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.280
playing, that would be kind of
cool as well. A Match of the

605
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:14.679
night in event Radio excuse me,
papers you prediction record. I went nine

606
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:16.159
and one, Doctor Trey went eight
and two. I just want to say

607
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:21.800
that Doctor Trey and I to completely
dislocate our shoulders and pat ourselves on the

608
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:27.039
back AW Dynasty W Backlash W Queen
and King and Queen of the Ring.

609
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.559
Both of us went twenty and oh
in our predictions for all three of those

610
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:36.199
shows, and in the last four
pay per views, I went twenty nine

611
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:37.960
to one. Doctor Trey went twenty
eight and two. I mean, can

612
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:43.119
we can we parlay this into like
DraftKings or FanDuel, Like, what are

613
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:46.000
we doing? Can we parlay this
into getting on the booking committee for AW?

614
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:50.840
Maybe? Maybe? So I'm just
want to say we're doing pretty damn

615
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:52.559
good for predictions. I'm at sixty
four and nine on the year, Doctor

616
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:57.480
Tray at fifty eight and fifteen.
Match of the Night and event ratio.

617
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.280
I gave my Match the Night to
well lost Brain Roderick Strong. That was

618
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.239
a tough call because I thought Swerve
and Christian was in there, and I

619
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:07.920
thought Elite and teammate w was in
there as well. As an event rating,

620
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.639
I gave it a three point nine
out of five. Doctor Trey,

621
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:14.920
Well, okay, I'm gonna top
you again. I went four point one.

622
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:17.880
I really enjoyed the show, I
guess I Queen King of the Ring

623
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:21.840
was solid. This show, to
me was a little more fun. I

624
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:24.039
imagine. I was Swerve and Christian
because they're my two favorite guys in AW

625
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:29.360
to watch and they had a really
solid damn match, So I can't ost

626
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:32.000
Bray and Strong was great, Anarchy
in the arena was great, even you

627
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:37.280
know, Malachi and Copeland was great. But to me, Swerve and Cage

628
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:38.679
are my two favorite guys to watch
and that they had a hell of a

629
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.920
match, I can't go against that
one. So again, Doctor Trey and

630
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:47.000
I have really enjoyed another twenty twenty
four AW pay per view. So before

631
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:51.840
anybody goes out there and says like
we're haters, we're not. We really

632
00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:58.039
actually enjoy what is going on from
all wrestling. While there is stuff that

633
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:01.239
is very positive, there's obviously the
negative spin of it as well. A

634
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.800
report came out heading into Double or
Nothing Doctor Trey that, according to Wrestling

635
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:12.559
Observer Newsletter, AW went from a
fun place to work with a great backstage

636
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.519
camaraderie when w talent for the most
part, we're walking on eggshells to a

637
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:20.480
place with a lot of frustration from
wrestlers making a nice and even great living

638
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:24.039
but not getting anywhere near the ringtime
nor upward mobility they had hoped for.

639
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:29.760
That came to us again from Wrestling
Observer Newsletter. It reminds me of like

640
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:35.320
everything that we had heard about twenty
nineteene when AW launched. There was also

641
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:38.599
a report out there, I think
for Brian Alvarez that said that there's a

642
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:45.559
lot of changes to dynamites and collisions
and rampages heading into like hours before the

643
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:47.519
show, sometime like as the show's
going on, which reminds me a lot

644
00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:52.440
OFE. So it appears that there's
some wrestlers that are frustrated right now,

645
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.679
and that's not a good thing because
w's hitting on all cylinders and AW why

646
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.039
they had a great pay per view
over the weekend. They're doing some stuff

647
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.559
that got people really upset when they
work for WA and you're seeing people walk

648
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:07.400
away or their contracts expire. Ethan
Page will talk about him in a little

649
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:13.239
bit. Jack Hager his report.
His contract has reportedly expired, Mark Henry

650
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:16.360
and arn Anderson back behind the scenes, their contracts have expired. You've heard

651
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:22.280
about wrestlers not being happy with their
time in All Elite Wrestling because they're not

652
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.280
one of Tony Kahan's favorites. So
it's just funny how the script has flipped

653
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:29.920
five years later. Doctor Trey Well, and it's one of the things we

654
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:31.480
talked about this is one of the
things where we talked about them starting a

655
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:37.639
Collision was I was in favor of
splitting the splitting the roster in half because

656
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.679
it would give more TV time to
certain people. And when you see the

657
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:47.039
same guys on Dynamite and Collision and
then Rampage is the only show left over,

658
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:52.639
and half of that show is recapping
what happened on Dynamite, you're gonna

659
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:54.920
have guys fighting for TV time.
And it is the nature of the beast.

660
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:59.559
When you have a loaded roster,
Not everybody can be featured, Not

661
00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:01.960
everybody can get a push. You
just kind of have to wait your turn

662
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:07.360
and make the most of your TV
timing and strike while the iron's hot.

663
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:10.440
And some guys get that, and
some guys don't like swerve. Early on

664
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:14.960
in his aw run was not getting
a ton of TV time, but when

665
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.199
he got TV time, he made
the most of it and made his moments

666
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:22.920
count. So I get the frustration. But once again, when you get

667
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:25.480
your chance, what are you doing
to stand out from the crowd and become

668
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:30.320
one of Tony's favorites to where then
he utilizes you more than you know he

669
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:35.639
was. So it's the nature of
the beast like if you have a loaded

670
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:38.199
baseball team, not you only have
nine guys on the field at a time,

671
00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:40.719
You're gonna have a bunch of guys
sitting on the bench. You just

672
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:44.840
got to make the most of your
opportunities when you get them. I did

673
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:49.599
see an interview with Tony Kahan recently, and he talked about maybe making Dynamite

674
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:53.519
three hours and like six hours of
programming maybe the sweet spot to get everybody

675
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:59.079
featured. I don't even know about
that anymore. I mean, if we

676
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:01.480
saw plenty of that were not good
and they were three hours, and now

677
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:06.840
that they're utilizing that time very correctively, it certainly doesn't feel like a three

678
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:12.960
hour show like it used to anymore. So it's just interesting that how much

679
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:16.639
WA and AW like flipped in recent
memory of the way that things are being

680
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:22.559
operated in AW versus W. I
never thought I would see them basically trade

681
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:27.880
personalities. There's other stuff out there
right now that's reportedly saying that Tony Kahan

682
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.079
is a lot harder to get a
hold of than in recent memory as well,

683
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:32.360
which is not good. You want
a boss that you can get a

684
00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:37.719
hold of and have good you know, communication and transparency, which is something

685
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:39.760
that may be lacking all lead wrestling
according to some of the reports out there

686
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:45.519
that are out there right now.
So something to keep an eye on when

687
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:47.159
it comes to all lad wrestling,
and I guess something that may keep an

688
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:51.280
eye on for all elite wrestling is
if there's any interest with some of the

689
00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:55.119
WWE stars that contracts are currently coming
up. Three big names that are out

690
00:47:55.119 --> 00:48:00.480
there that contracts are coming up as
of early as next week and even this

691
00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:06.599
weekend, Becky Lynch, Natalia and
Chad Gable, according to Dave Meltzer and

692
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:09.159
ar Wrestling Observer newsletter. He said, quote, Becky Lynch is taking an

693
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:13.280
extended leave. From what I was
told, It's not like a short period

694
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:15.320
of time. She was looking for
a long period of time out. If

695
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:17.880
he seth Ron's not on the road, it makes sense for her not to

696
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:21.760
be on the road. They can't
be hurting from money or anything where they

697
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:23.599
need it right now. Maybe she's
looking at other things and maybe she's not.

698
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.480
Everybody is believing that she will return
to We Doctor Trey, but if

699
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:34.280
and when she returns, it may
be some time. Did we just watch

700
00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:39.079
Becky Lynch's last match inde weev in
the year twenty twenty four. Let's see,

701
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:45.079
we're in end of May sixth I
will say probably, yes, I

702
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:49.320
don't we might not see Becky until
the Rumble, Like does that make sense

703
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:53.199
because I kind of see this although
is this kind of like the Johnny was

704
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:58.119
this like the Gargano Cannie lay break, you know where it's like, hey,

705
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.920
they might both be gone for six
months, Like let them both take

706
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:05.599
time off like these two and I'm
counting Seth, Like Seth and Becky have

707
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:12.039
been basically the workhorses of WWE for
quite some time. Like, let them

708
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.760
take the break, let them have
some time off, let them refresh,

709
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:20.159
recharge, come up with some left
field ideas. I'll mja up and take

710
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:23.800
take a break, get recovered,
heel rested, reinvigorated, take some time

711
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:28.920
off with the baby roue, which
I thought it wouldn't rue the baby kangaroo

712
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:31.199
from Winnie the Pooh by the way, Yeah, okay, I'm getting confirmation

713
00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:35.880
that is correct, that is true. Yeah, So let him take some

714
00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:38.159
time off and then let Becky make
her return. Let Seth come back and

715
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:42.440
survivor series and let Becky come back
at the Rumble. Yeah, I don't

716
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.280
think Becky's leaving. I mean Seth
resigned with w w wee courding reports,

717
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:50.320
so I can't see her leaving.
I am concerned about the other names,

718
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.599
Chad Gable and Natalio, because they've
both been featured on WE television lately,

719
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:58.960
especially Chad Gable courting Fight Full Select. Chad Gables WE contract is set to

720
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.280
expire next week unless an extension or
a new deal is reached, and he

721
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.559
is in one of the best I
think top five storylines in WWE right now,

722
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:09.880
Doctor Trey, Like, that's shocking
that it's getting that eerily close,

723
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:14.559
unless of who he thinks there's no
way he's leaving, or maybe Chad Gables

724
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:16.119
said I'm not leaving. Let's work
out these details and we'll be good to

725
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:21.320
go. Yeah. I don't see
Gable leaving, I mean literally, Like

726
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:23.639
one of his best friends is Jason
Jordan, producer for the show. He's

727
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:30.480
been featured way more. I do
love that was it was it Corey Graves

728
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:32.880
or who or who might been to
wait, you know, might be big

729
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:37.800
Ee. That referenced the shorty g
gimmick on the kickoff show at King of

730
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.920
the Ring this weekend, and I
was like, ooh, I didn't know

731
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.840
we were going to bring that stuff
up, because basically, if Otis turns

732
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:50.320
on Gable Monday Night, gables contract
hasn't been resigned. He's gonna be off

733
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:53.559
TV for a while. If Otis
doesn't turn Monday Night, then Gables resigned,

734
00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:57.360
he'll be around for a while.
So I'm not worried about Gable.

735
00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:01.559
And Italia might be the more interesting
one because even though her husband's a producer

736
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:07.159
for WWE, she does have the
tie into Owen's family if they're doing the

737
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:10.519
whole Owen Heart tournament coming up soon. So it wouldn't surprise me seeing an

738
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:16.599
Italian jump from ww to AW and
the show up for the Owen Hart Tournament.

739
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:22.400
That wouldn't be shocking because she's been
there forever and although she's getting features

740
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:27.400
in storylines, it's NXT type stuff
and not you know, Women's World Championship,

741
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.400
Women's Championship, none of those title
matches. So I wouldn't be shocked

742
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:35.079
to see Natalia jump more maybe more
so than anybody any of the other three

743
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:37.440
we mentioned, or up to two
we mentioned. According to Dave Maltim regards

744
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:42.079
to Natalia, he said that Natalia
has reportedly still not signed a new deal

745
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.039
from w WI, saying, quote, yeah, she hasn't signed a new

746
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:46.559
deal, but you know, I
don't know that there's anything to be alarmed

747
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:52.400
over anything like that, but that
is the situation. So Natalia may be

748
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.679
free as well. I would be
shocked if all three of them are not

749
00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.559
with w WIE by the end of
next month. Yeah, I mean I

750
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:02.599
would be too. I mean Becky
said the same thing a couple a few

751
00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:08.119
weeks back, heading into WrestleMania,
that she wasn't she wasn't worried about her

752
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:15.440
contracts. She thought it would all
get worked out. So I expect all

753
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:20.320
three to re sign basically because you
know, two of them their significant others

754
00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:23.840
are still in the company and Chad
Gable, Like, if Chad Gable jumped

755
00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:28.400
to AW, he wouldn't get featured
any more than anybody else. He'd be

756
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:30.960
at the bottom of the car,
and right now he's got a good storyline.

757
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:34.880
If I had to pick one of
the three to jump, it might

758
00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:38.159
be probably an Italia. But I
don't expect any one of the three to

759
00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:40.960
go to AW. And the last
thing I want to bring up here on

760
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:44.960
this week's edition the podcast is Doctor
Trey match at the start of the show.

761
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.360
A ton of wrestling this past week. We had Friday SmackDown and Rampage,

762
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:53.159
Saturday Collision and King Queen the Ring, Sunday Double or Nothing, Monday

763
00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:57.679
Raw, Tuesday NXT, Wednesday,
aw DYNA Might, and here we are

764
00:52:57.719 --> 00:53:00.920
today recording. So every day of
the week since we last recorded, there's

765
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:05.880
been restling going on. And I
thought the one program that was the most

766
00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:12.480
potentially one of the most underrated and
entertaining and surprisingly entertaining shows this week was

767
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:20.159
WWE NXT. It felt like a
throwback this past Tuesday, argaining back to

768
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.360
the days of when it was on
the w NET for an hour and then

769
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:25.840
it would lead into all those great
takeovers that we saw from twenty sixteen to

770
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:31.800
twenty nineteen. And the reason for
that is it was good wrestling, buzzworthy

771
00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:37.039
surprises, and it was just an
interesting episode of the show. The surprise

772
00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:42.039
is Ethan Page now with WE.
He takes out Trick Williams and is revealed

773
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:46.360
to be the one that took out
Oro Mensa and Noam Dar over the last

774
00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:52.840
couple of weeks on NXC Television.
Jordan Grace, the current TNA Knockouts Champion

775
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:58.880
makes a surprise debut in NXT and
she is set to challenge Roxane Perez for

776
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:06.000
the NXT Women's Championship at Battleground at
the UFC Apex next Saturday, which is

777
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:10.199
like a mind blowing match that w
and TNA are having a one on one

778
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:15.840
match in the history of this entire
podcast, because at one time, TNA

779
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:20.039
was the legit number two. More
on that relationship in just a second.

780
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.920
And then I had no idea who
she was. And this is just the

781
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.480
thirty seven year old male in me. I had no idea who Sexy Red

782
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:30.559
was. I have no clue.
Doct Trey, did you have any idea?

783
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:35.119
I thought that was Kevin Nash's ego
in the wolf Back of NWOL.

784
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:37.920
Yeah, that makes sense. I
mean that's where I would have landed as

785
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:43.519
well. She was an interesting host. She definitely made the camera go into

786
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:46.440
different directions the other night because of
some of the things that she was doing

787
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:52.239
in the ring. I guess she's
pretty popular, but I thought she did

788
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:54.320
her job pretty decently well. And
I guess she's gonna be sticking around NXT

789
00:54:54.960 --> 00:55:00.000
for a little bit here and there
as well. I love this past week's

790
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:02.679
edition of NX Doctor Trey, it
felt like a throwback episode and I was

791
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:07.880
like, this is the black and
Gold brand that I loved. Yeah.

792
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:12.000
No, the Ethan Page stuff reminded
me of when Bobby Rude came in NXT.

793
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:15.559
I know it did, Samoa Joe
I got those vibes too, Yeah,

794
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:17.000
it was. I mean the difference
was they you know, we kind

795
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:21.079
of saw that they did the shot
of the guys in the crowd, you

796
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.440
know, weeks before they actually debuted. You could do Ethan Page, but

797
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:30.159
like the appearance, the way he
was presented, like he's already being presented

798
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:35.880
as a main event level talent in
his first night there in NXT. And

799
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:37.840
then to me, the the Jordan
Gray stuff. I think this is one

800
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:42.119
of the things where like Triple H
might have heard of her or knew a

801
00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:45.000
little better, but then when he
saw her in person and saw how jacked

802
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:49.800
and ripped she is, was kind
of like, oh, and she can

803
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:52.599
wrestle too, Holy cow. Like
that's one of the things where it just

804
00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:59.159
feels like she became a Triple H
person just right away when they first like

805
00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:01.880
laid eyes on each other, because
that's how it felt and the presentation the

806
00:56:01.960 --> 00:56:07.360
Shock, and I love the report
I read where in rehearsals they didn't they

807
00:56:07.519 --> 00:56:10.639
never use her music, they used
other people's music, and Roxane Prez did

808
00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:15.559
not want to know who it was
going to be because she wanted a genuine

809
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:17.360
reaction as well. Oh, I
didn't know that part. I heard that

810
00:56:17.400 --> 00:56:21.920
they put down like Alexa Bliss and
Lida and I actually played like Leda's music.

811
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:23.800
I did not know Roxane press that
did not want to know who it

812
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:27.440
was. Yeah, they had told
her, they had, They told her

813
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:29.280
that she had a mystery opponent,
but she was like, well, I

814
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:30.760
don't want to know who it is. I want just to find out when

815
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:34.400
we do it. And then she
did not know it was going to be

816
00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:37.280
Jordan Grace. Wow. So that
reaction she got with the music hit and

817
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:42.559
she's and she saw her walk out
was legit. So like, I thought

818
00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:45.039
that was really well done. That's
also why Roxanne really didn't say a whole

819
00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:49.000
lot in that promo. When I
went back and forth, it was Bailey

820
00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:52.360
Jordan talking because Roxanne didn't know who
it was going to be. She couldn't

821
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.559
prepare for it. So I thought
it was really well done. Loved the

822
00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:59.159
segment. It was a lot of
that throwback by because it gave me a

823
00:56:59.199 --> 00:57:04.119
little bit of you know, Monday
Night War throwback when surprise appearances and shocking

824
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:08.920
angles and it did you google Sexy
Red during the show? When you or

825
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:13.400
after the show? I did before
the show or and when they were leading

826
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:16.239
into it. I still don't have
like my head around exactly like I guess

827
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:21.159
she's a rapper. I guess I'm
with you, but that but that's exactly

828
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:23.079
what they wanted is for us older
people to go, wait, who is

829
00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:28.320
this person? And then google it
because now she's trending. The show's trending

830
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:30.400
from the people who knew she was. So they did exactly what they want

831
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:35.239
to do by getting eyes on the
product and getting each entity known, whether

832
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:39.239
it's like wrestling fans googling sexy Red
or sexy Red fans googling NXT to find

833
00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:43.760
out what that is. They accomplished
their task. So it was a great

834
00:57:43.800 --> 00:57:47.119
show from top to bottom. And
I'm look, you know, if anybody's

835
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:49.840
listened to the show for the last
five years, you guys know, I'm

836
00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:53.000
an Ethan Page fan from his time
in TNA with the North with Josh Alexander

837
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:58.000
so loves some Ethan Page loves them
Jordan Grace and like just a great show

838
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:01.559
from top to bottom. The big
new here is obviously there is some sort

839
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:06.960
of deal between W and TNA.
According to reports, Jordan Grace has three

840
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:09.039
appearances with an XTD, the one
we just saw this past Tuesday. She'll

841
00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:13.159
be taking on Stevie Turner and a
match on NXC television this Tuesday, and

842
00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:17.360
then the Battleground match that Saturday,
and the three appearances are somewhere in the

843
00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:21.280
six figure range, which is a
very nice pay day for Jordan Grace.

844
00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:24.360
WW is obviously very high on her. She's still under contract for at least

845
00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:29.599
a year, according to the reports. Rest of Votes tweeted out earlier on

846
00:58:29.679 --> 00:58:32.039
Thursday, saying quote, while the
exact details of the dealer are unknown,

847
00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:36.320
as they should be, I'm told
the partnership between WW and t and A

848
00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.159
has been months in the making.
W love the feedback and energy from Jordan

849
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:44.440
Grace's Rumble appearance, and we're eager
to use her again. Opportunely, there

850
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:47.880
are tentative plans for additional superstars to
make crossover appearances in due time. Both

851
00:58:47.920 --> 00:58:52.199
companies understand that a slow, thoughtful
approach is the best way forward in the

852
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:57.480
beginning stages. A fan head ass
also, is there a possibility of Jordan

853
00:58:57.599 --> 00:59:01.480
winning the championship at Battleground and rest
of us said possibility question mark, Yes,

854
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:06.440
So there is some sort of agreement
there, and it's groundbreaking w for

855
00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:08.440
WWE, Doctor Tree, because this
is not something they typically do, Doctor

856
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:14.119
Trey, and to see ww and
TNA working together here in twenty twenty four

857
00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:19.039
definitely warms my twenty ten heart when
we first started doing this podcast, and

858
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.880
I'll be really intrited to see where
this goes moving forward. If it's just

859
00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:27.400
going to be NXC only if we
see some raw or SmackDown folks over there,

860
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:30.760
if we see some TNA folks not
only jump to NXC, but raw

861
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:35.480
or SmackDown as well. This definitely
benefits both brands, obviously TNA more than

862
00:59:35.639 --> 00:59:37.960
WWE, because why would w WE
need more eyes on it. It just

863
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:42.280
goes to show that anything can happen
in worldrest and entertainment, and that is

864
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:45.679
a good thing. I dig this, Doctor Trey. I'm excited for this

865
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:49.119
deal between the two companies and hopefully
it plays out a lot more than my

866
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:52.400
excitement back in what was it late
twenty twenty when AW and TNA were working

867
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:57.239
together. Well, I mean the
excitement level we had in twenty twenty was

868
00:59:57.280 --> 01:00:01.320
great. The payoff was what was
really disappointed us. But yeah, like

869
01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:05.719
I'm I'm really excited for this,
Like I'm you know, everybody knows I'm

870
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:08.679
the teena guy I watch probably more
ten than anybody else on this show.

871
01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:14.679
I have friends in that company,
I have friends in NXC and WWE,

872
01:00:14.840 --> 01:00:19.719
so for me to see it play
out is really great. And selfishly,

873
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:23.679
I believe one of my bold predictions
was gonna be that ww bought out TNA

874
01:00:23.679 --> 01:00:29.480
this year, so maybe there's still
an inkling of a chance. Because the

875
01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:35.039
more opportunities for their wrestlers and I
mean WW NXT wrestlers and maybe even SmackDown

876
01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:38.800
and raw guys to get ring time
anywhere they can and be featured anywhere they

877
01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:43.840
can is good for the product as
a whole as it expands and grows.

878
01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:47.840
So hey, if you see you
know, Rich Holland show up and impact

879
01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:52.639
wrestling like that would be fantastic.
By the way, going back Ethan Page,

880
01:00:53.119 --> 01:00:57.400
I love that they literally started to
say, oh my god, that's

881
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:00.320
Ethan Page, didn't we just see
him in a And then Booker t cut

882
01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:04.199
them off mid sentence. I don't
know if you heard that on the show,

883
01:01:04.239 --> 01:01:07.679
and then laid out like that.
I was as well that they started

884
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:12.079
to allude to it, but then
it cut off and guys like you and

885
01:01:12.159 --> 01:01:15.159
me when he almost said ae w
and they didn't do it. But I

886
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:17.400
love how they played that off verbally. Yeah. No, according to the

887
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:21.320
reports, that was a line that
was scripted for Vic Joseph. So that

888
01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:23.000
was really cool and I liked that
they're doing that. I like their acknowledge

889
01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:27.239
in that. And as Doctor Trey
matched, that was one of his bold

890
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:31.440
predictions. He had TKO Group Holdings
buys TNA Wrestling and uses it as a

891
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:37.159
developmental brand. So that's maybe maybe
it's happening. You know. There were

892
01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:42.079
some rumblings that maybe TNA was going
to be joining WE network on Peacock they

893
01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:45.079
were calling their show's premium live events. There's plenty of former w stars over

894
01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:51.280
there now, like Musafa Ali and
Nick Nemith known as DOLFH. Siegler.

895
01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:55.039
So like musaf Ali was set to
be like really, I think he was

896
01:01:55.079 --> 01:02:00.239
gonna win the North American Championship and
then they fired him and he's gone on

897
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:04.280
to have a really good independent career
so far. So there's a lot of

898
01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:07.280
former Doughue talents that are in t
and A right now that we'll see how

899
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:13.039
that crossover plays out and where this
goes from here. So you know,

900
01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:15.800
if you get an NX T versus
TNA storyline at some point, I'm here

901
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:20.719
for it. It only benefits both
brands and gets more eyes on the professional

902
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:23.159
wrestling product. So very cool times
it felt like a throwback episode of NXT

903
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.440
and I really dug it. With
that said, let's close up shop on

904

01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:04.440
be sure you got there and check
out Rocket Sea Championship Wrestling. They

915
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.519
have a big show coming up this
Saturday, which I would love to be

916
01:03:06.599 --> 01:03:09.239
a part of, but this giant
cast on my foot is probably going to

917
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:13.639
prevent me from going, So be
sure check that out on Facebook. Chake

918
01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:16.440
out Spartan Championship Wrestling on Facebook as
well, and also goad and find out

919
01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:21.199
your local independent wrestling shows so you
can find that person that's gonna make a

920
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:25.000
surprise appearance on NXT or be featured
on a Ring of Honor show, Because

921
01:03:25.599 --> 01:03:30.199
I don't know what Ring of Honor
shows look like right now. I'm just

922
01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:32.039
gonna throw it out there, one
last little bold prediction as we close up

923
01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:35.719
shop. Here you saw Brooks Jensen. If you haven't seen the ad on

924
01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:39.199
Twitter, he is reportedly saying that
he is no longer with the company.

925
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:42.920
I think it's all storyline and I
want not be shocked if he shows up

926
01:03:42.920 --> 01:03:46.400
in TNA relatively soon, that would
be a nice little fresh code of paint

927
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:52.239
for him. A friend of Doctor
Trey's who's now an NXT. So with

928
01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:54.039
that said, thank you for downloading, thank you for making us part of

929
01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:59.639
your week, spread the word about
SRTU, and until next week when we

01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:03.800
preview predict WNXT Battleground for Doctor Tree
Franklin, I'm Jeff Pack. This is

931
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:05.199
this is the rid of the show.
