on the Doctor Trey Franklin, Doctor
Trey, Happy Thanksgiving, my Friend.

7
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:51.640
Okay, you went with the most
basic. I thought you're gonna ask me

8
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.679
if I've ever drank somebody's blood.
I thought You're gonna asking if I've ever

9
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.359
worn a devil's mask. I thought
you were asking if if I hear voices

10
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.960
in my head? And you went
with Happy Thanksgiving with Jeff, Happy thanks

11
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.560
my friend, Happy Thanksgiving. You
know, I think any other week I

12
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.959
would have absolutely opened up with something
along those lines. I like the Hangman

13
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.359
page reference that you started off with
because it freaked the hell out of me

14
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:22.200
on Saturday night. But yeah,
this is it's this is one of those

15
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:27.760
shows we've done now for thirteen years
of SRTU, starting off in twenty ten

16
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.000
and once we switched over from Saturday
to Thursdays, we have always done a

17
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.439
Thanksgiving show. I've always said,
if you need to get away from family

18
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.560
for a little bit and you want
to listen to two guys talk about professional

19
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.480
wrestling for forty minutes to an hour, this is your cup of tea right

20
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.920
now. And I don't know.
This has always been like a good catapult

21
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.799
for me for the Thanksgiving holiday,
get the holiday season going, and slowly

22
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.920
whine down the year. So I'm
in a good festive holiday mood, doctor

23
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.400
Tree, because it's one of my
favorite, if not my favorite holiday now,

24
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.879
Thanksgiving. And it's weird how we
have it's everything's progressed as we lounch

25
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.919
the show because for a while,
Survivor series kind of became an afterthought for

26
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.719
a little while, Like when the
show first started, like that we weren't

27
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.840
doing anything, you know, we
didn't have war games, we weren't doing

28
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.360
like we already had a battleground show, so it wasn't really brand bursts brand.

29
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.919
It was kind of almost you know, Survivor Seris was having left in

30
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.000
the background, and none of the
other brands were really doing big Thanksgiving shows,

31
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.199
so we would do our favorite tag
teams or our best of our favorite

32
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.960
Thanksgiving moments or things like that.
So and then now we live in a

33
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.000
world where it was like, oh, there's like four big there's all these

34
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.719
companies running all these big wrestling shows
on right around Thanksgiving. So we don't

35
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.919
get to tell the fans the top
five things that wrestling we're most thankful for

36
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:57.759
because we have excuse me, preview
up, the adictions and recaps. I'm

37
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.240
so sorry about that. By bad
like we talked about off air, but

38
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.800
there's always recaps, previous predictions,
everything else, and was I started to

39
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.039
catch up the Jeff so he doesn't
make me say this year, which he

40
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.159
forgot about last year. So yeah, it's totally fine. It's we've kind

41
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.199
of gone past it. I feel
like we've been done that last like the

42
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.120
three years of doing the prediction stuff
and more or less just now something we

43
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.800
can keep track of and has some
fun. But yeah, I mean doctor

44
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.120
Trey doing a ton of callbacks to
I remember like five things that we were

45
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:30.159
thankful for in professional wrestling that wasn't
always a good show to put in the

46
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.719
books for Thanksgiving or you know,
things that are tied to Thanksgiving as wrestling

47
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.159
fans, I always remember us telling
the stories of for me, like Survivor

48
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:44.840
Series ninety three was one of those
shows that got me into professional wrestling.

49
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:51.080
And how much you know Thanksgiving holiday
was a big wrestling holiday, like they

50
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.039
would do Survivor Series on Thanksgiving.
Doctor Trey talking about watching wrestling with his

51
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.879
grandmother, you know, during the
Thanksgiving holidays, Like it's it's stuff like

52
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.280
that that ties us all into this
holiday professional Wrestlane. But like Doctor Trey

53
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.520
said, there is a ton of
stuff going on professional wrest right now sandwiched

54
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.319
in between like a good Thanksgiving leftover. On Friday afternoon, two major pay

55
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.319
per views from two different major United
States companies. Let's start with aw full

56
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.560
gear recap review. Doctor Trade came
to us this past Saturday from the Key

57
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.439
Of Forum in Inglewood, California.
We had three pre show matches, the

58
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.000
first being Eddie Kingston defeeding Jay Lethal
to retain the ROH World Championship. We

59
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.240
did not predict this one. This
actually had a storyline leading into it,

60
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.000
which is pretty cool to see,
which is a theme for this entire show.

61
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.399
I want to preface this all by
saying that this was one of the

62
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:51.759
better creatively booked shows that AW has
done in some time, because there was

63
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.519
a storyline tied to every single match, which there are times that AW does

64
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.040
not do that. They just throw
matches together and it makes you scratch you

65
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.040
had, It makes you go like, why should I give a shit?

66
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.000
So I want to preface it by
saying that ed even with the pre show,

67
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.480
I'm not a fan of ROH World
CHAMPIONSIP being on the pre show zero

68
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.040
Hour, but nonetheless, Eddie Kingston
defeats Jay Lethal in a good, solid

69
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.319
match what you expect from Kingston and
Lethal, and it was an enjoyable start

70
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.399
to the pre show Doctor Trey.
Yeah, and even having a stokely Hathaway

71
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.120
on commentary to help even build the
story up even more as him being part

72
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.120
of the board of director's for Ring
of Honor, which I didn't know that

73
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.120
was a thing, So it was
nice. But yeah, it was a

74
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.240
fun match. The only my only
issue, and it's not with the match,

75
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.040
it's kind of with the Continental Classic
is after the match, Eddie Kingson

76
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.279
threw his name in a half for
that and now we're talking about the American

77
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.720
Triple Crown Champion. I'm like,
doesn't that then devalue the Ring of Honor

78
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.319
title if this guy's willing to risk
it to become the Continental Champion, Like,

79
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.800
does that put that title even lower
on the mantle. But that's just

80
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.120
me being nitpicky about the hierarchy of
professional wrestling titles is just ridiculous anyway.

81
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.800
But the match yourself, it's fine. It was solid. You got to

82
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.560
see you know, Stanham saying try
to do the strut, which I thought

83
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:13.680
was kind of was cute, but
overall solid match which you would expect from

84
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.680
two guys like Eddie Kingston and Jay
Lethal. Yeah. I mean, there's

85
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.560
so much to discuss there, the
way that roh has been booked under Tony

86
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:27.240
Kahan's ownership, even the Continental Championship, which when they first announced the Continental

87
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.399
Classic, I was like, oh, this is pretty cool, and I

88
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.680
thought that somebody was just getting in
a championship like trophy like they do for

89
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:38.399
the owen Hart Cup. But then
when I've realized that it was another championship

90
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.839
being added to aw that could be
a show in itself. But I'm gonna

91
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.279
digress from that right now and just
get to the next match, which is

92
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.439
Claudio cast and only defeating Buddy Murphy. We did not predict that one as

93
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.839
well. My only issue with this
match is that Claudio and Buddy should be

94
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:55.920
on the main show, another enjoyable
pre show match on zero hour Doctor try

95
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.040
Yeah, and then you're watching a
matching man. Why didn't WW do this

96
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.240
do this match more often for these
two guys, because, I mean,

97
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.160
we all know Claudio. Claudio is
the modern to me, is the modern

98
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.720
day Lance Storm, like Lancethorm,
a guy that, if you watch him

99
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.680
wrestle, should have been a world
champion multiple times, and just because of

100
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.959
perceived promo skills or whatever, never
got to that level. And then Buddy

101
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.519
Matthews watching him work a singles match, you forget how good he is and

102
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.240
how impressed with an athlete he is. So this was a really solid match

103
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.360
up team two. I don't want
to say young guys, because both these

104
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.639
guys are ten fifteen, twenty year
vets but maybe underappreciated talents in the world

105
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:40.800
of professional wrestling. But like you
said, like this could have been a

106
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:46.319
main show card any other time.
And also, you know what a four

107
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.439
day build up to it? What? You know? It's it was a

108
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.439
storyline, but it was a short
storyline to get to the match, but

109
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.720
the little bump at the end of
the match sets it up so that maybe

110
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.399
we get House of Black versus Blackpoole
Combat Club, which that will be really

111
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.439
fun. Yeah. Yeah, there's
a lot of good stuff going on there

112
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.560
that can come from this match.
And again, like it was a zero

113
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.759
R match, I was happy because
it was free. And then the next

114
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.399
match here, MJF and samoo Jo
defeated Guns to retain the ROH World Tig

115
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.639
Team Championship. This was the only
match going into it that we did predict

116
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.040
on zero hours and we both at
MGF and samo Joe. I thought the

117
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.959
match was fine and it helped set
up the main show with the Andrey angle

118
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.079
with MJF postmatch. My problem with
this though, was I thought Samojo was

119
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.720
going to be a friend to MJF
until his title match and not just the

120
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.600
tag team match the defendent titles at
full gear. So the explanation of like

121
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.759
I'm gonna protect you was confusing because
I would have figured that Samojo would have

122
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.399
come down, out, come out
to make the save. That's being a

123
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.159
nitpicky to me, and I don't
know if this resonated with you, Doctor

124
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.320
Trey. I had a lot of
old school late nineties Sunday Night Heat vibes

125
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.519
where WWE would have Sunday Night Heat
before the pay per view and they would

126
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.559
run an angle that made sense and
carried itself through the rest of the pay

127
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.440
per view. And that's what this
did. Being nitpicky on the Samo Joe

128
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.080
stuff aside, the storyline of mgf's
injury going into the main show was really

129
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:16.240
well done and really well executed.
I did have a funny like haha moment

130
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.200
that I'm sure has been picked up
on Twitter. I really don't go on

131
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.440
that platform anymore. But at the
end of Zero Hour, where Adam Cole

132
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.840
is saying to himself, like what
am I going to do? He said

133
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:33.320
it twice and they panned back and
you could see the backstage area behind Adam

134
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.480
Cole and who's walking down the steps, but one of the guns it looked

135
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.240
like Austin gun. I'm like,
oh shit that if you go back and

136
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.360
watch Zero Hour unless they've edited out, I thought that was a very funny

137
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.200
thing. You could see clearly see
the tights of one of the guns,

138
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:52.440
and you know, just to spend
my disbelief. Nonetheless, match was fine.

139
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:58.000
Samoa Joe angle was confusing. The
injury angle was really well done.

140
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.919
Doctor Treer thoughts, Yeah, my
only issue with it is, you know,

141
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.799
you're building up You've been building up
bullet Clip Gold to be like this

142
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.039
dominant, you know, pretty strong
fashion. I kind of wanted the Guns

143
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.559
to have I don't want to say
a little bit, and maybe they got

144
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.960
enough. I just felt like they
didn't look strong enough in the match,

145
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.600
and then they got their payback on
the post match beating down. I'm with

146
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.519
you. It confused me because they
kept saying that Joe is helping MJF so

147
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.240
that he can get a shot at
MJF, you know, and that's how

148
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.399
much. But that made me think
that if Jay White won, Joe doesn't

149
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.960
get a shot, and then so
then why wouldn't Joe run into make the

150
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.559
save when the Guns are beating down
MJF. Because by weakening MJF, Joe

151
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.840
might be losing his title shots.
So that's why I got confused with it,

152
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.519
and I was like, well,
that doesn't make a lot of sense.

153
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.879
And then like I think, like
the injury angle, like you said,

154
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.480
like that was old school, like
we're going to tie this into the

155
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.759
pay per view later tonight. Then
you know, just MJF on the stretcher

156
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.639
begged, don't let them take my
title. Don't let them take my title,

157
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.639
And I don't know about you.
I was confused when MZF came down

158
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.159
with only one Ring of Honor Tag
Team title belt, because I was like,

159
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.399
well, that just gives it away
that the Guns aren't winning, because

160
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.919
then you got to go track down
the other belt to award it all.

161
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.360
So that was also like just a
little nitpiggy pin. But overall, like

162
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.440
the match was good. I just
wish the Guns had a little bit more

163
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.840
offense. But that's also because right
now, I think you and I can

164
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.759
both agree that we're both kind of
guns marks right now because they're very very

165
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.639
entertaining. They have been very very
entertaining. They've really grown on me as

166
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.200
the time has gone on. Onto
the main show. Here, Sting Darby

167
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.519
Allen, Adam Copeland defeat Christian Cage, Lucasaurce and Nick Wayne. We had

168
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.679
Sting's team both predicted to win.
Nice opener to kick off the show.

169
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.639
The crowd was really excited for this
one and behind the match throughout I'm intrigued

170
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.320
to see where Christian accidentally hitting Lucasaurs
with the T and T Championship and then

171
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.919
leaving them behind will play out moving
forward. A Lucasaurus face turn feels like

172
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.200
it's coming sooner rather than later.
Let me preface again by saying, Doctor

173
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.440
treynar recording this Tuesday night of Thanksgiving
week. This show will probably be made

174
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.200
available on Wednesday, So obviously Doctor
Trannon are not watching ton of Mine on

175
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.639
Wednesday night to see if there is
any follow up from anything in aw Nonetheless,

176
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.399
Doctor Trey Sting, Darby, Adam
Copland get the victory. You got

177
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.440
Adam Copeland in face paint as well, Like that was a nice little touch

178
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.799
that reminded me of the old school
NWAWCW, the dudes with attitudes or you

179
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.320
know Sting's squadron, you know,
and all the guys that do the face

180
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.240
paint. That was a little bit
homage to the throwback. The match himself

181
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.679
was fine, nothing shocking or surprising
other than you know, the Lucasaurus bump

182
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.600
and then Christian walking out, by
the way, what a great name for

183
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.720
a stable the patriarchy. That was
great, and that was like a little

184
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.600
throwaway line that I think Nigel said
towards the end of the match, like

185
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.360
you know, what's Christia's cage would
do with him walking out of the patriarchy.

186
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.000
I was like, Oh, if
that's a stable name, that's great.

187
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.440
I love that it was on the
Titan tron. See I'm watching it

188
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.320
from my phone, so I couldn't
see some of the finer like the smaller

189
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.360
print stuff. So that was my
That was my issue because I had to

190
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.320
watch it that such a small screen. So but I love that it's great

191
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.000
name. So and then why nobody
canna be that name in all these years

192
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.559
of professional wrestling baffles me. So
I don't know if it's I don't know

193
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.759
if we've got enough lucassaurus abuse to
really dive into a full flinched face turn,

194
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.120
because maybe his face turn is still
a little too early considering his heel

195
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.399
turn wasn't that long ago, so
I still think people picture him as a

196
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.840
baby face at time. So I
think we need a little bit more of

197
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.480
you. You have to, you
have to really really abuse the monster before

198
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.919
the monster turns to go off on
his own, so that it's can vibes

199
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.200
right, Yeah, yeah, it
really is but it's like you got to

200
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.159
beat on the monster more and more
and make it more sympathetic. And I

201
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.120
don't think we've got to the point
where we feel bad for Lucasaurus yet.

202
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.279
I think it's getting there. I
think it's getting there, though, Doctor

203
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.759
Try I do. I mean that
choke slam onto the apron of Darby Allen,

204
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.919
I'm like, I don't know.
I think it feels bad for that

205
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.440
guy that just literally tossed Darby like
he was like a second potatoes. All

206
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.879
it takes is like a really shitty
heel, which Christian is though, or

207
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.720
just like light them on fire.
Sure gues you could do that too,

208
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:22.879
and it always gets people sympathetic.
Next match is Orange Casside defeating John Moxley

209
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.720
to retain the aw International Championship.
John Moxley, I had doctor trade Orange

210
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.240
Cassidy. Fantastic match. I really
enjoy seeing that. The dynamic that Moxley

211
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.240
brings out a whole new side of
Orange Cassady we typically never see. Cassidy

212
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.879
going over clean on mox is a
huge deal and well deserved for one of

213
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.320
the best wrestlers this year in Orange
Cassidy, Big Winford. Orange Cassidy Doctor

214
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.039
Tracy defeats John Moxley. Yeah,
and I love the way they booked it

215
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:52.399
because you know Orange starting off strong
and Moxley no selling it and then Moxley

216
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.080
basically beating his ass for most of
the match until you got the comeback.

217
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.240
But then you thought you thought Ornge
got the desperation in Cassidy get to win,

218
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.879
like busting out red Rum, you
know, throwing what like's like five

219
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.399
or six Orange punches in a row
and try and put Moxley down. Like

220
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.519
it was a really compelling match.
But also it just shows that Max is

221
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.639
one of those guys that goes,
hey, we need to elevate this guy,

222
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.200
and the only way we can do
it is make him give him depth

223
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.639
to the character. We have to
make him look that he can pull out

224
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:26.559
the more physical side of his character. I also love Moxton Hawking is the

225
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.080
Orch Cakes as well, Like that
was kind of funny too. So overall,

226
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.519
like really really good match, really
strong match, and it sets up

227
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.879
Orch Cassidy for another strong run and
the now can move mox Claudio and Wheeler

228
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.840
over to the Black cool comback,
I mean over the House of Black if

229
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.120
you want to go that round One
of my favorite things about professional wrestling is

230
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.840
when you see an established star and
there's no title that there is a title,

231
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.360
whatever the case may be, is
in the background, but you see

232
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.919
an established star helping elevate a star
that you feel like, as a wrestling

233
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.799
fan, could use some elevation.
You saw that with the Moxley Orange Cassidy

234
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.120
feud. You see it later on
with Hangman at a Page getting more out

235
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.399
of Swerve Strickland. You're seeing it
in WWE right now, like very subtly.

236
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.559
One of my favorite things in wrestling
right now is these random Becky Lynch

237
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:18.159
feuds where she's feuding with Tiagan Knox, she's feuding with Lyra Valkyrie, she's

238
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.039
feuding with Zaia Lee and elevating their
games. And that's what Moxley did.

239
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.879
I really enjoy that aspect of professional
wrestling when these established stars helped put over

240
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:32.559
new talent to create new stars,
and that's like the circle of life per

241
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.240
se in professional wrestling. That's what
we saw this past Saturday night with John

242
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:41.039
Moxley taking the l against Orange Cassidy. Next match here is timeless Tony Storm

243
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.039
defeating Karloshita to win the aw Women's
World Championship. We both had time with

244
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.879
Tony Storm. I feel bad for
Shida because her last two title reigns have

245
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.960
been met, but the decision to
put the title on Tony makes sense,

246
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.600
as she has so much momento and
popularity lately. The finish was clunky and

247
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.759
the match was fine, but they
had a tough act following Cassidy. You

248
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.759
know, she tried to put that
pan down her I can't believe I'm saying

249
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.599
this down her pants to do the
hip attack, and even the announcers were

250
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.960
laughing because she was having like wardrobe
malfunctions. And then she'd went in the

251
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.160
corner. Tony went halfway, then
went back and then did the hip attack.

252
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.000
It was very clunky but timeless.
Tony Storms our new aw Women's World

253
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.599
Champion. Doctor Trey. Yeah,
not to mention when when Aubrey's counting the

254
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:27.480
pinfall, her head is literally eight
inches from the plate coming out of Tony

255
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:33.759
Storm's bridges, as a Tas alluded
to on the call. Yeah, the

256
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.359
match yourself was The match yourself was
decent. It's just the finish got really

257
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.079
clucking. Cat took it away,
and you know, this is this is

258
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.759
match and the response to Timeless Tony
Storm is one of those things I point

259
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:52.599
out to young wrestlers who don't like
gimmicks Like Tony Storm. You and I

260
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:59.440
loved her in the May Young Classic
through entire run, and it's this gimmick

261
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.720
that has get Hurt to another level. And then you look at some of

262
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.839
the like the you know, some
of the people, we're like, you

263
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.039
know, we miss bray White.
It was the bray White gimmick. They

264
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.720
gotta bo I'm gonna take this gimmick. Gotamo with these these crazy gimmicks that

265
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:15.720
can establish another depth of the character, helps elevate the game, and it

266
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.960
stands out because it's so different from
what everybody else is doing. So in

267
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:25.279
a world like AW or in the
Superindependence where everybody's five ten, one hundred

268
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.880
and ninety five pounds, sometimes you
got to think outside of the box to

269
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.440
really get a good crowd response.
So I applaud Tony Storm for taking a

270
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.519
risk because it's such a divergent character
for what she's done for pretty much her

271
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.519
entire career. But she's making it
work and it's being very very successful.

272
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.079
So outside of the Klucky Fish,
I'm just happy for Tony Storm. And

273
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.599
getting this character over. Next match
here was Ricky Starks and Big Bill defeating

274
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.680
LFI FTR and The King of the
Black Throne and a four way tag team

275
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.720
match, retaining aw World Tag Team
Championship. I'm Ricky Starks, a Big

276
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:02.759
Bill dot Trade FDR great. My
only negative feedback is I think rustling fans

277
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.039
are spoiled with the amount of tag
team ladder matches we have seen the last

278
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.839
twenty to twenty five years, which
makes it harder to do anything we haven't

279
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.400
seen before. Nonetheless, all eight
men brought it and put on a great,

280
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.599
heart hitting show for the fans on
Saturday night. Ricky Stark's a Big

281
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.279
Bell retaining made sense to me because
then they needed a win like this for

282
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.759
their title rate to continue growing.
Doctor Trey, your thoughts on the fatal

283
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:27.279
four way ladder match, Yeah,
it's it's you're getting into the spots and

284
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.319
wrestling where you're like, is anything
or like to me, the most original

285
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.920
spot in the entire match was just
Malachi Black flipping the ladder back in the

286
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.680
in the cash wheeler, like I'm
like, oh crap, I've never seen

287
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.759
somebody use the rope kind of like
in that manner to the springboard the ladder

288
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:47.079
back into somebody you know, but
like you know, you see Brody Kane

289
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.000
do that big godz obamb of Dealstico
on the ladder and you're just like,

290
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.599
eh, that look gruff. It's
like we are kind of spoiled as to

291
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.119
what we've seen over the last you
know, twenty years when it comes the

292
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.960
ladder matches. I mean the ladder
match was it was good, it was

293
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.119
solid, it was fun, it
was entertaining. It works for Ricky Starks

294
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.200
in Big Bill, so, like
you said, establish their tag team run.

295
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:15.440
But as much as I like Ricky
Starks in Big Bill, I mean,

296
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.440
given what happens later in the show, is is a Golden Jet Ricky

297
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.559
Stark Big Bill match like a money
drawing match? Yet I don't know.

298
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.839
So that's that was kind of why
I was leaning towards FDR, just because

299
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.440
I thought that would be a bigger
draw for the tag team division, but

300
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.160
because I don't I don't really know
if you need to keep building up new

301
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.880
tag teams when you have so much
depth in your tag team division. I

302
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.519
guess it's kind of my thought process. I think at times the tag team

303
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.000
division doesn't actually get executed correctly in
my mind, Yeah, I mean,

304
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.960
I mean when you look at you
look at the card. I mean you

305
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.640
like, in the last couple of
shows, I mean you've had MTF beat

306
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.400
an established tag team. You dow
had MTF and Samoa Joe beat an established

307
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.599
tag team, Omega and Jericho being
established tag team, Ricky Stars and Big

308
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.799
Bill beat three established tag teams.
So these are a lot of these single

309
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:11.759
stars being meshed together, and you're
kind of diluting your tag team talent by

310
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.359
doing so. So as much talent
as they have, it's these single stars

311
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:21.640
thrown together that are kind of dominating
the division right now. Next match here

312
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.680
is Julia Hart defeating Chris Statlander and
sky Blue in a triple threat match to

313
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.839
win the AWTBS Championship. Dot Trannon
both had Julie Hard getting the victory.

314
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.440
Solid triple threat match. Julia Hart
and sky Blue have really raised their games

315
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.160
and characters throughout the year, and
Statlander, who is an established starr,

316
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.440
helped get them over as equals.
Again going back to what I said earlier

317
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.680
in the show with Moxley and Lawrence
Cassie. Another example this year with Chris

318
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:48.200
Statlander working with sky Blue and Julia
Hart. Julia Hart deserves the title as

319
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:49.960
she has been very much improved in
the ring, but I hate to see

320
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.519
it come at the hands of Chris
Statlander. Maybe this means stat Lander shifts

321
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.599
are focused on the aw Women's World
Championship coming out of this, as she

322
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.640
didn't take the pin and a Julia
Hart sky Blue feud continues forward, Doctor

323
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.839
Trey, we have a new AWTBS
champion and it's Julia Hart. Yeah,

324
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.400
really happy for I thought the triple
threat match was solid. I just I

325
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:12.759
don't know. There are points this
match where I thought it was like three

326
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.400
versions of Rhea Ripley fighting each other. I guess, like everybody wants to

327
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.319
be Gothic or just a badass right
now. So like and I was trying

328
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.880
to figure out the whole You're still
trying to figure out the story between sky

329
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:30.200
Blue and Julia Hart as well.
So I'm with you. I think they

330
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.880
should move stat Lander up into the
main women's picture. Let Julia Hart,

331
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:38.480
sky Blue, Willow Nightingale, Red, Velvet Green, Jello, anybody else

332
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.960
in the vision that they want to
throw in there that has a color food

333
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.000
theme as well. Let them battle
it out, let them kind of sort

334
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.319
their characters out, because to me, the TBS title is your Women's Proving

335
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.880
Ground Championship and then to move them
up into the main picture. So but

336
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:57.559
yeah, I'm really happy for Julia
Hart because she may have progressed farther in

337
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:02.559
a year than I have ever seen
any other female wrestler do. Like she

338
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.920
was god awful with Brian Pillman and
Griff Garrison and now I actually enjoy watching

339
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.079
her work a match. So that's
just tremendous progress in twelve to eighteen months

340
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:18.599
I've seen somebody do. Oh,
she's been fantastic, one of the best

341
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.000
Moon salts. I like the submission
finisher they have there. What is that?

342
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.160
Is it? Heartless? Heartless?
Yes? Yeah, I mean that's

343
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.960
a great like it's a almost looks
like a Rings of Saturn type submission.

344
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:36.319
Yeah, she's been really well improved. I'm very happy for Julia Hart winning

345
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.359
the AWTVS Championship because she deserves it. She's been really really good the last

346
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:44.079
couple of months. Newly married also
yeah, Lee Johnson, right, yeah,

347
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:48.119
yeah, somebody that I've worked a
show with got to marry Julia Hart.

348
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.960
So LEO. Part of me is
a little sad. Hey you never

349
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.759
know does try next match? Here
is Swerve Strickland defeat and Hangman Adam Page

350
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.319
in a Texas death match. We
both had Hagman Adam paid to get the

351
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.200
victory. Doctor Trey, what do
you say about this one? It's a

352
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:10.359
brutal, violent, legendary masterpiece,
A top match in twenty twenty three,

353
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.880
one of the most memorable AW matches
since its inception. This feud has been

354
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.200
short but extremely good. I didn't
think Swerve Strickland could elevate his game,

355
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.519
but then he does it again and
again and again, and then does it

356
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.079
again. Amazing performance by both men. Have put themselves through that type of

357
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.960
human mutilation and punishment all for wrestling
fans entertainment. There are several spots we

358
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.960
could sit here and go I can't
believe they did this. I can't believe

359
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:41.599
they did that. Hangman Page drinking
the blood, the barricade, pile driver

360
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.960
Spot, pouring water over each of
their heads so that the blood just like

361
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.359
dripped like crazy off of their heads. What a match, Doctor Trey.

362
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.279
Swerve Strickland, Hangman had a Page. If they don't get a standing ovation

363
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.720
on Dynamite on Wednesday night. Then
I don't know what's wrong with this wrestling

364
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.400
fan them? Can this be Few
to the year already? I mean,

365
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:11.359
it's like jumped up so much.
I mean in a short amount of time.

366
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.200
I mean, I don't know if
we've ever seen a few go from

367
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.799
like zero to a thousand this quickly. I mean, and even even the

368
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:23.079
even the Wrestle Dream match what maybe
what didn't have the blood but was so

369
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:29.759
hard hitting and so just action packed
like these guys. The chemistry these two

370
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.000
have pull off in such a short
amount of time is incredible. I was

371
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.680
waiting to hear your evaluation of the
match because I've seen people knock this match

372
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:42.599
because of the one spot, and
I'm like, you take out the blood

373
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:48.039
drinking spot, which I mean for
all for health reasons, maybe isn't the

374
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.319
best thing in the world, but
you know this match is not good for

375
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.839
health reasons, doctor try yeah,
But you know, like everything else in

376
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:02.680
this match was like incredible and hard
hitting and you could feel the intensity.

377
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:07.319
And you know, my only knock
on this match wasn't even the bloodering spot.

378
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:08.920
By the my knockings match is if
either of these guys ever lose a

379
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.440
match, cleanly in under twelve minutes. I'm gonna be like, what the

380
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.400
hell, Like you've got staple barbed
wired like you know, pile driven on

381
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:23.240
a guard rail, took three buckshot
lariats in a top rope detta Like you

382
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:27.039
took all these things, they still
kept fitting up and you know you're gonna

383
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.559
get schoolboy Robot can't kick out,
Like but you haven't. These guys better

384
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.079
lose when he makes like four or
five months Like It's just it was that

385
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:44.680
level of almost insanity. It's like
I I it's redefined the genre of what

386
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.240
death I don't say death match wrestling
because I don't put it in the same

387
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:55.920
grouping as like some of those GCW
guys do, like the God Bless Him.

388
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.480
I love the death He's a good
friend of mine, John White,

389
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.160
Burdock's in the world and Nick gage
Is. I don't classify this match in

390
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:07.720
that light. To me, this
is the old school versions of like the

391
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:12.839
Dusty Rose totally blanded, I quit
matches and just with a modern twist on

392
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.519
it. Like it was brutal,
it was physical, You felt the intensity.

393
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.720
It suspended your disbelief because you wanted
to see Hangman beat the hell at

394
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.160
a swerve for the home invasion Agle, Like all the stuff came together and

395
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:30.000
like this little perfect storm for this
match, and I the part of me

396
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:36.440
worries that it may be remembered for
the blood drinking spot and not the intensity

397
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:41.519
and the violence of the tortality that
the other you know, twenty seven minutes

398
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:48.759
of smash brought. Yeah, this
is it's a memorable match. Yeah,

399
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.839
does it get It gets brutal,
right, it gets violent, and sometimes

400
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.759
AW pushes the envelope a little bit
too much, but I think you just

401
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.839
kind of come used to it,
right. I'm It's not my type of

402
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.319
wrestling, but I respect it a
lot ultimately, and I respect this match

403
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:10.119
and I do think it's a top
match in twenty twenty three. See what's

404
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.079
weird as you go back to was
it mox Ley Omega when they had the

405
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:18.440
uh the Pepaisan chair of barb Wire, you know, remether one to talk

406
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:23.440
about like that spiral. Yeah,
it's like those matches felt like they did

407
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.920
shit for the sake of doing stuff, where this match, with the way

408
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.319
they presented it with the homeanvaate.
Look if some guy walked into my house

409
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.200
while I was at work, and
was standing over little Samy Franklin and talking

410
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.240
shit like, yeah, I'm gonna
try to kill the guy, and that

411
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.480
match. Because of that angle,
it led to this match, and it

412
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:48.799
made sense. So the brutality was
not for the sake of brutality, but

413
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.200
it was brutality for the stake of
the storyline. And it reminded me of

414
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:57.599
those action movies where the bad guy
kills you know, John Wick's dog and

415
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.319
John Wick goes on a rampage or
spoiler alert, we're supposed to do that.

416
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:03.799
You know that, I know,
but I think we're on John Wick

417
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.440
six now, so I think it's
okay to spoil one. Oh fair.

418
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.119
But it's like it's those old school
action movies where something the villain does something

419
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.240
to the guy's family and that guy
goes on a rampage that gives revenge.

420
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:21.160
So it was it's violence and brutality
for the sake of the story, which

421
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:25.519
in this light makes sense, where
some of these other death matches we've seen

422
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:29.920
it's been brutality for the sake of
brutality or violence for the sake of violence,

423
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.720
which to me, it diminishes this
genre. No, it's it's a

424
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.039
fair, it's it's fair. I
get what you're saying. It's fair.

425
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.839
Still very memorable, memorable match.
It reminds me of those old I Quip

426
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.599
matches, the old bull Rump matches
when there was a long, lengthy feud

427
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.119
and this was the way to blow
it off. And those guys made you

428
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.960
feel like they were literally trying to
kill each other because of all the crap

429
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.880
they've done to each other building up
to it. It's just this, they

430
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.839
condensed it down to like a two
month period instead of six months or nine

431
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:04.680
months like we used to do back
in the old AWA W c W.

432
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.759
I'm the match was surprising. I
thought the result was more surprising. I

433
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.440
did not foresee Swerve Strickland going to
Zo on Hangman page in this feud.

434
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.880
No, I really didn't either,
especially when it's a Texas death match.

435
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.079
But then, you know, getting
Brian Cage involved, getting No involved kind

436
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:30.079
of helped sell the finish because Nagas
say they like Swerve one because of the

437
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:37.240
help of Nana in Cage and it
doesn't diminish Hangman too much. And then

438
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:42.079
Hangman getting hung to finish the match
was kind of cool as well. Mm

439
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:47.440
hmm. Yeah, really well,
really well done match for Strickland defeating Hangman

440
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:51.359
Adam Page. Next match, year's
the Golden Jets of feeding the Young Bucks

441
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:53.640
as they get the Young Bucks aw
tag team title shot. We both have

442
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:56.839
thek Golden Jets getting the victory.
Good storytelling throughout this match. They had

443
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.279
a tough act to follow with Swerve
and Hangman and did a good job.

444
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.319
Still, I'm interest to see where
things go with the Young Bucks after their

445
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.440
post match meltdown. As reporters are
staying there do for a heel turn along

446
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.440
with Brandon Cutler, who has been
their mouthpiece online since the match took place,

447
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.839
and one on other one other unnamed
personality, uh doctor, try the

448
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.759
gold and Jets get the victory.
Yeah, not to me, This was

449
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:26.640
not a surprising finish, although I
do like my storyline idea that the Kenny

450
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.039
and Chris would just tag up at
random Canadian shows and then the Bucks were

451
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:32.920
like searching the Internet to try to
find videos so they can take him to

452
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.799
Quarter or something for it. But
yeah, like, I don't know,

453
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.759
the match was good, but maybe
as expecting a little bit more because it

454
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.799
is four of the best wrestlers in
the world. I thought it was I

455
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:49.079
thought it was good, but maybe
I was just thing a little bit more.

456
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:55.680
But having Dog calls on commentary also
helped because he's like, You're like,

457
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.720
just say to the guy, You're
like, yeah, I really just

458
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.400
want anybody to win other than Doug
Kallaus. So I thought it was good

459
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:06.519
and it'll be interesting for progressing because
there's you know, when when does Kenny

460
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.440
and Chris cash in, it does
callous cost of the tag bells or is

461
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.440
callous at starts at Big Bill into
the Doug Kallas family because he does like

462
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:19.480
he taking on uh people, parked
Tide in that family role as well.

463
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.279
And then finally here the main event, MJF defeats Jay White to win the

464
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:28.440
AW World Championship. MGF was our
pick for both from both of us in

465
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.480
this match. I really enjoyed how
the storyline played out from the zero hour

466
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:35.640
pre show throughout the show up until
the main event, with the MGF injury

467
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:37.759
angle and Adam Cole filling in.
At one point it was changed to Adam

468
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:43.160
Cole versus Jay White, which was
a nice little touch. The match itself

469
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.319
was slow building, but the final
ten minutes were really good. It's funny

470
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.680
to see MGF acting like an eighties
baby face at times, but he overcomes

471
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:53.079
adversity by going back to his scumbag
ways by cheating with the dynamite diamond ring

472
00:32:53.200 --> 00:33:00.480
to get the pin on Jay White. MGF reportedly hurt his shoulder and also

473
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.400
dislocated his hip that needed to be
popped back in after the failed announce your

474
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:09.240
table spot elbow dropped from the top
rope. Do't try your thoughts here.

475
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:15.880
MJF defeats Jay White to retain the
aw World Championship. So the matches up.

476
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:19.599
When you said disokay, I thought
you were saying he dislocated the pre

477
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.920
show out when he did hit the
recruit hip gride, like that would be

478
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.599
a great way. Like it's like
it the way an old lady pops a

479
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:28.079
hip, you know she us emulated
recruited. The hip just goes out.

480
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.839
But like the matches up. I
thought it was great old school storytelling,

481
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.640
like you have an injury, you're
selling the injury. I do like this

482
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:40.359
weird, Like half the match,
MJF is whole Cogan and then the second

483
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.759
half of the match he turns into
Rick Clair, Like yeah, the eighties

484
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:49.319
baby face and then the eighties scumbag
heel. By the end, it's like

485
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:53.640
it's almost like he's having this like
devil in Angel battle on his shoulders,

486
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:58.680
deciding how he wins the match.
The only thing I didn't like was the

487
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.599
Adam Cole like, oh, we're
gonna have an Adam Cole j White match,

488
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:06.319
Like I didn't think you needed to
do that, Like you could have.

489
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.880
You could have done it mister Miyagi
Daniel LaRusso style, where like you

490
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:14.880
know they're about to award the belt
to Jay White and you know, Adam

491
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:16.880
Cole comes rushing out and like,
no, m JFF wants to fight.

492
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:21.320
M JFF wants to fight, and
JAFF wants to fight, and you could

493
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:22.840
have done that whole thing. It
would tied into the eighties thingue. But

494
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.639
like the illusion that you were to
have Adam Cole actually get into a match

495
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.400
I thought was kind of just dumb. And why the heck if he's getting

496
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:36.920
into the ring, is britt Baker
not running out to protect her husband from

497
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:42.920
doing something so stupid us well,
fiance, no, not even doctor Tree.

498
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.280
We've been down this road. We've
tried talking to Adam about this.

499
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.760
Oh I missed it, My bad. Now this is awkward. I hope

500
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:54.760
she's not listening. No, no, Nonetheless, M Jeff retains and it's

501
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:59.719
still the EWE World Champion. I
went seven and two, Doctor treit went

502
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.360
seven two. In our predictions,
I'm at one fifteen and forty one Doctor

503
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:07.960
Trey, one O eight and forty
eight. Event rating match the night I

504
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.480
gave full gear of four point three. I thought it was a very very

505
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:14.639
solid and fun and entertaining show.
And my match the night Doctor Tray Swart

506
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.440
Strickling hanging out a page I was
at. I was at a four to

507
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:21.400
four, so I was a little
bit ahead of you. And the only

508
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.920
reason I didn't go higher was because
after four and a half almost five hours,

509
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:28.840
I was kind of burning out.
Yeah no, rightfully, So I

510
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:32.440
mean, how is it zero hour? If it last ninety minutes, it's

511
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:37.960
not an hour, then it's zero
ninety or whatever. But yeah, my

512
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.239
imagine that I was also Swerve in
the Hangman page. That's that's gonna be

513
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:44.440
like when we have great pay per
views, there's always that one match that's

514
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.239
going to stand out and will remember
this match at five or ten years,

515
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.960
which makes it stand out even more. Yeah, No, it was.

516
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:54.400
It was amazing to both of us
giving the show very high hopes. You

517
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:58.840
know what's funny about everything, Doctor
Trey collectively. I want to go back

518
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:00.280
to what I said in the beginning
of the show, where I want to

519
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.719
give AW their flowers that I thought
this was one of the best creatively built

520
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.199
shows that they've done in a while, and it showed, and then it

521
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:13.760
was executed very well on Saturday Night, which obviously gets you excited with AW

522
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.440
because it's had its peaks and valleys
throughout all of twenty twenty three, and

523
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:21.280
hopefully they continue to ride this wave
because last couple of shows that they've done

524
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:24.079
for paper views have been very good
from all out, all in Wrestle Dream,

525
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:29.840
Full Gear. I think Full Gear
to me is probably their best show

526
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.960
that I've seen in twenty twenty three. Actually, I'm gonna check real quick

527
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:39.679
if that actually is. I know
it's my highest rated one Revolution was four

528
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:43.679
point two three point nine from You
and I, three point six to three

529
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.719
point seven for Ben Door, four
point zero three point eight all In,

530
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:51.400
four point four from me, four
point one from you All Out, three

531
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:53.440
point nine from me, four point
one from you, four point one,

532
00:36:53.559 --> 00:37:00.400
four point two from Wressel Dream and
so Full Gear is your highest rate show

533
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.960
and mine is still aw all in
which which doesn't make sense. I did

534
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.800
love that show, but Full Gear
to me is like neck and neck with

535
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:15.719
that show. Yeah, it just
I just feel like they had a really

536
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:21.480
good creative build towards it. But
here's the conundrum I have to wrap this

537
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:27.159
all up with Full Gear is I
thought Dynamite and Collision and Rampage shows like

538
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:36.039
individually or whatever, like they lack
the enthusiasm and the excitement that they used

539
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:39.039
to have, which makes those shows
like at times hard to go through.

540
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:43.519
But then there's like these little subtleties
and it builds to a bigger story which

541
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.360
then leads to the pay per view
very well. But I just feel like

542
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:51.400
Dynamite, Rampage Collision have not been
that great lately, which is kind of

543
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.199
strange because the creative going to the
show made sense. The show is well

544
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:58.559
executed, the pay per views have
been very well executed, but the weekly

545
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:01.280
programming to me kind kind of isn't
where I'd like it to be as an

546
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:05.920
AW fan. Does that make sense? Yeah, because I think one of

547
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:10.880
my issues with the TV shows is
they're not built like TV shows like there's

548
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:16.239
not the cliffhanger, there's not the
the reason to tune in, Like where

549
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:22.360
they place the matches on the TV
shows doesn't really match where they're going to

550
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.960
place it on the pay per view
card, and they don't put the same

551
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:32.159
behind like ww's first match of the
night or their main event or use their

552
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:36.159
two biggest matches. It's usually one
of the world title matches kicking off the

553
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:38.400
show and then the other one's closing
the show. So when they build those

554
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:44.079
shows those shows, those matches are
still featured in the main event of their

555
00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:49.400
respective shows, and so you understand
the importance behind it, where you know,

556
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:53.280
you may have the MJF segment you
know early in the show, and

557
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.000
then when you get to the you
know therese like, well it is the

558
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:01.519
MJF stuff with Roderick and Adam,
and they white more important or less important.

559
00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:07.920
If you have Tony Storm and Hikishida
closing out of store, like their

560
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:12.400
structure is still in flux with their
television shows, and then it kind of

561
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:16.679
lessens the importance because with RAW or
Smacked Down or NXT, there's like a

562
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:21.880
build up to get to the close
of the show, whereas think sometimes ADEW

563
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.840
almost books it backwards, where they're
starting high and then finishing low, if

564
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.960
that makes sense. No, I
hear what you're saying. Yeah, I

565
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.400
think if they got the weekly programming
a little bit more fine tuned, I

566
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:38.199
think AW would be rolling again.
But I will say late twenty twenty three,

567
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:43.320
there should be a huge optimism right
now that twenty twenty four will be

568
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.960
a banner year for AW in my
opinion, and more importantly so, one

569
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:53.519
maybe two names are off that free
agent wire now and signed to All Elite,

570
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:57.840
which twenty twenty four is supposed to
be a big year for professional wrestling

571
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:01.119
signings, and AW has already gotten
a jump. As we talked about in

572
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:05.960
last weeks show, who will be
that blockbuster signing? We felt that it

573
00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:08.840
was going, you know, will
Ospray would be the signing that we would

574
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:13.119
want to see. We felt like
it would ultimately not be Will Ospray because

575
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:16.119
he was due to be a free
agent in February twenty twenty four. We

576
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:22.280
felt like it would be Sammy Callahan. Instead. We got the twenty twenty

577
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.480
four free agency wire and professional wrestling
going a bit early, as Will Ospray

578
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:30.719
is in fact All Elite Doctor Trey. He has signed a three year deal

579
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.360
with the company. He will wrap
up in New Japan in February twenty twenty

580
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.599
four and then be All Elite.
Will be based out of the UK during

581
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:42.360
this time, which Pac also does, and he will be a weekly contributor

582
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:44.679
to All Elite Wrestling for the next
three years. To me, he is

583
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.920
one of the best professional wrestlers on
the planet right now. This is a

584
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:52.199
huge get and a huge signing for
All Elite Wrestling Doctor Trey. So I

585
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.840
simply ask you in regard to the
signing, did AW have an edge or

586
00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:00.960
is the WWE business model flawed for
these big signings. AW they have the

587
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.679
forbidden door. It gives wrestlers an
opportunity to form a relationship with AW.

588
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.599
The schedule in AW is more wrestler
friendly than WWE. They have signed some

589
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:15.440
big names over the years here,
Jay White earlier this year. Now will

590
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:22.360
Ospray is the AW business model when
it comes to these big signings better and

591
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:28.960
making the WA business model flawed for
the big signings. If you're going off

592
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:32.559
of do I want to sign with
AW based on just what they do?

593
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:39.639
Yeah? Probably because the schedules a
lot lighter the pay is comparable, that's

594
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:45.079
more guaranteed, and not hey at
your merchandise sales factor into it. Things

595
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:51.199
like that like w does like a
lot of their guys. If I was

596
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:54.119
going off like structuring my career,
I'd still probably lean WE BUD if I.

597
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:59.039
If I'm a guy that's in my
mid you know, mid thirties looking

598
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:04.280
to really establish myself and make a
home. AWS a great place to start

599
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:07.000
because I don't have to bump as
much, I don't have to work as

600
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:09.719
much, and I can still make
really really good money and still be featured

601
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:15.199
on multiple shows. So and when
it comes to signing guys, they do

602
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:19.880
have an edge because I'm pretty sure
if a if WB went to will Ospray

603
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:23.639
to offer a contract knowing that he
was still under contract New Japana falla lawsuits

604
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:30.800
with having that working relationship with AW
I think aw can ask permission and they

605
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:36.679
can negotiate in good faith. So
aw Wood comes with things like that is

606
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:39.880
going to have an edge on WWE
when it comes to signing those international talents

607
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:44.599
that filter through New Japan. Yeah, it seems like they had a very

608
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.519
big edge for will Ospray. The
rumors of will Ospray potentially going to WWE

609
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:51.639
had picked up in the last month. We had me very intrigued. Heading

610
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:54.719
in twenty twenty four. I felt
like he made the right decision, Will

611
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:59.400
Ospray to go all elite wrestling.
He knows what it's like there. He

612
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:02.280
has perform there plenty of times now, and I think he'll be a great

613
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:08.719
addition to their roster. And actually
I thought Dave Meltzer made a really good

614
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:15.400
point in one of his reports that
AW can offer Will Ospray an opportunity to

615
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.519
be a world champion in twenty twenty
four, something WWE cannot do. Probably

616
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:23.320
in twenty twenty four, also all
lead Wrestling heading into Wembley Stadium in the

617
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:27.320
home backyard of Will lost Bray.
I mean, let's put it down now.

618
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.320
If you don't think Will Osprey is
in some sort of world title match

619
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.159
it all in in August twenty twenty
four, I think you're out of your

620
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:36.679
mind. And the only way that
doesn't happen is if God forbid he gets

621
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.360
hurt and is unavailable to perform that
night. I would fully expect that Will

622
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:43.639
Ospray is an AW world champion in
twenty twenty four. This is a huge

623
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:46.239
signing, huge get for them,
great move for him to be performing in

624
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:50.639
the United States promotions, and he
still gets to have a relationship with the

625
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:55.239
New Japan a little bit as well. So one big name down for twenty

626
00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:01.559
twenty four and another may be down
for twenty twenty four as well as According

627
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:07.000
to reports from Wrestling Hass, several
w RE sources, have you never heard

628
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:10.519
of that? No, I've never
heard of wrestling Haws, But now it's

629
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:13.880
going on my list of people check
on. Yeah. No, no,

630
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:19.159
they they do a really good The
name is escaping me right now. Nick

631
00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:22.679
Cosman, he used to be a
wrestling ink. Now he's opened up his

632
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:27.760
own website, a Hoss of Wrestling. Okay, I just see. I

633
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:34.760
was just picturing some big fat country
red bag wrestlin Hoss Wrestling Hass. Okay,

634
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:39.440
yeah, So House of Wrestling has
said that several w RE sources believe

635
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:45.320
MJF has quietly re signed with AW
one higher up w source data that have

636
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:49.800
been quote zero talks between the two
sides. They further noted that the idea

637
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:53.039
MGF is said to enter free agency
imminently is a quote false narrative, and

638
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:59.760
that they believe he has resigned into
twenty twenty seven. I'm not surprised by

639
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:02.159
this doctor Trey based on the way
that he has been booked. I did

640
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:07.920
feel like that everybody gunning for him
could be leading towards maybe an exit from

641
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:14.199
the company. He wasn't involved in
any of the all in promotion promotional material

642
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.519
for twenty twenty four where hes got
people's spider sense is tingling a little bit.

643
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.880
But I think you hear him in
interviews and he's, you know,

644
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:24.679
breaking a lot of kfabe and talking
about how much he loves and appreciates all

645
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:29.280
elite wrestling and how he wants to
be the guy for the company, and

646
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:36.199
it appears he is staying there,
and this move surprises me. I think

647
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:42.320
MJF is a WWE talent in an
aw ring. He fits that Cody Rhodes,

648
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:47.360
Jade Cargill, mold and mentality.
I figured a guy like him,

649
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.039
a guy like Ricky Starks, would
also thrive in w WI and kind of

650
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:59.800
would like the environment more. So
this move is surprising, and that's of

651
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:06.039
and it's also unfortunate because I thought
the bidding war of twenty twenty four is

652
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:08.840
gonna be a lot of fun.
Yeah, they're like, on one hand,

653
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:15.039
I am surprised because you know,
why would I. It's like you

654
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.480
and I are big baseball fans and
you get that hot prospect who finally makes

655
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:22.719
his debut with you know, the
major league club, and then you find

656
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:25.880
out he signed a you know,
eight year contract that's gonna be wave alow

657
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:29.519
market value, and you're like,
dude, why didn't you just stick to

658
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:30.559
you know, stick it out to
the end of your contract. You can

659
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:36.480
have maximized it. But then the
flip side's true as well, where you

660
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:39.239
get that guy who comes up to
your system, you love him, you've

661
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:43.880
bonded with him, and then all
of a sudden he jumps to the Red

662
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:46.280
Sox because they're gonna offer him two
million more a year, and then you're

663
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:49.760
like, what happened to loyalty?
It's one of those weird things, like

664
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.559
you look at a guy like m
dam who kind of came not really out

665
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:58.360
of nowhere on the independence, like
he had a day, but he's grown

666
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:02.000
in aw and he's sentence at the
top of the ladder. So on the

667
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.400
one hand, a guy like me
would go, hey, stick it out

668
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.400
for a few more months. Maximize
your leverage, you get the best deal

669
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:12.559
possible for you. But you know
the other side is, look, this

670
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:19.199
company invested in you and showing loyalty
to you and let you be as creative

671
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:24.199
as you've wanted to be, and
you know you taking the deal shows your

672
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:29.199
loyalty back to them. So it's
almost like a damn if you do,

673
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:31.800
damned if you don't. Because either
way, if he had jumped at WV,

674
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:35.559
people would be like, oh,
how dare he leave AW for all

675
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:38.039
the stuff they did for him?
And then he says, you guys like

676
00:47:38.119 --> 00:47:44.360
you and me are like, he's
probably a better fit in the WWE universe

677
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:47.800
because MJF is a sports entertainer more
than anything else, and he would be

678
00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:52.840
maximized to his best abilities. But
you've got to give the kid credit for

679
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:57.599
loyalty. And I mean is one
of his best friends is Cody Rohase.

680
00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:00.960
He could have gone there and had
a G eight spots, but he stayed

681
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:05.960
loyal to Tony Kahan and showed you
got faith in me, I got faith

682
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:08.719
in you. So you have to
give the kid credit for loyalty at least.

683
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.679
No, I absolutely do. I
do appreciate the loyalty there, and

684
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:16.239
yeah, I mean I think this
move works out very well for him obviously.

685
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:20.079
It's just it's just a little bit
surprising. And by the way,

686
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:22.280
not to mention if it's only a
three year deal. No, no,

687
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:27.599
it's it's a four Well you're right, yeah, because I'm thinking twenty twenty

688
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:29.599
three still, but yeah, it's
a three year deal. It was a

689
00:48:29.639 --> 00:48:32.800
three year deal. Guess what,
mjf's only twenty eight or twenty nine.

690
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:39.280
When that contract's up, he could
hit free agency again and then me hitting

691
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:45.159
his prime. I mean when w
BE comes a colleague. So it's not

692
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.800
like this is his last contract.
This is a chance for him to kind

693
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.960
of No, I agree with you. But he's also said in interviews,

694
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.440
which I do believe was not in
character, that he is not looking to

695
00:48:55.519 --> 00:48:59.880
be in professional wrestling rather long either. I think he is looking at Holly

696
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.920
Wood. Yeah, but then you
look at you look at the Cody rosipproach

697
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:07.119
where it's like, hey, let
me take one shot at w B and

698
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:10.679
see how it goes. Because if
you want to go to Hollywood, WW

699
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:16.039
is probably a better vehicle than AEW. So, I mean, like I

700
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:19.519
said, he is twenty nine years
old, he can sign a three year

701
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.719
deal with WWEB thirty two if the
end of that deal, and then decide

702
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:25.000
if he wants to stay in wrestling, go back to AW or go into

703
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:32.599
Hollywood. So he'd be he's in
a great position no matter what because he's

704
00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:36.679
gonna have money, he's gonna have
leverage and everything else. Like this kid's

705
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.440
basically got He's basically like right now
the Golden Goosa Professional Wrestling. I think

706
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:45.639
for me as a baseball fan,
here we are mid November baseball fans.

707
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:50.320
We love the hot stove, love
seeing where free agent science are going to

708
00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:52.320
go. And for the first time
that I could ever remember professional wrestling history,

709
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.639
it was looking like twenty twenty four
was going to be a huge hot

710
00:49:55.679 --> 00:50:00.760
stole for professional wrestling. And now
like arguably two of the biggest names,

711
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:06.599
if not the two biggest names,
are now off the radar with will Osbury

712
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:13.480
signing with AW and reportedly mjf Re
signing with AW. So we'll see heading

713
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:16.800
twenty twenty four if it ever lives
up to that hot soap potential that everybody's

714
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:21.039
getting hyped up for because we had
never seen this, especially with the way

715
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:25.119
that the Internet ages and you know
there was no like in ninety seven,

716
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:29.440
two thousand and one. It wasn't. The internet wasn't what it is now.

717
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:32.239
And I think to have that type
of information at your fringing tips with

718
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:38.239
news reporting and podcasting and this person
go there, do they go here?

719
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:44.000
And whining and dining and all good
stuff would have been cool and different to

720
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:49.639
say. Nonetheless, let's get into
w Survivers Series War Games preview predictions.

721
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:52.079
It comes to us this Saturday from
the All State Arena in Rosemont, Illinois,

722
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.960
will preview predict here the five matches, and then we will announce the

723
00:50:57.039 --> 00:50:59.960
holiday schedule and then let you go
be on your merry way for your things

724
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.280
skiving holiday. Here on this week's
edition of SRTU Doc Trey, let's get

725
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:07.760
to the first match here, Carlito
taking on Santos Escobar, which is announced

726
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:09.679
on Friday Night's Backdown. I like
that these guys are getting the opportunity to

727
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:14.840
perform. I'm gonna take Santos Escobar
in this one. Who do you like?

728
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:20.840
Yeah, I'm taking Santos Escobar with
Cruise and Joaquin turning on the lwoo.

729
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:22.800
Yeah, I'm with you on that. I like that's the rumors right

730
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.960
now, there's gonna be like these
separate factions, and I do feel like

731
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:32.159
legato'dell Phantasma reunites. Here. Are
we gonna get l w O red and

732
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:37.400
LWO green? Yeah? I think
so? Why not? Right? Yeah?

733
00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:40.880
Read and grew. Well, there's
the Sometimes they're blue and red for

734
00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:45.639
the Puerto Rican flag. Sometimes they're
red, white and green for the Mexico

735
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:50.440
flag. There you go, gun
Through Defensie Intercontinental Championship against the Miz Doctor

736
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.400
Trey. Who do you like this
one? I love the Mis, but

737
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:57.280
I'm taking gun there to retain I
am as well. But I think this

738
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:01.679
is a match that the Miz earns
Gunther's respect and support. I think that's

739
00:52:01.719 --> 00:52:05.039
the storyline heading in this one,
and that's how I think it plays out

740
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.760
true, where at the end of
the match, Gunther is like pleased and

741
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:13.039
respects the Miz at the end of
it. Yeah, I did like the

742
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:15.719
whole Like, I know I'm not
fighting the Miss. I know I'm fighting

743
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:19.239
Mike Mizana line from Raw the other
night. Yeah No, there was a

744
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.039
really good promo between the two guys. Next match year is Riea Ripley defending

745
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:25.239
the Women's World Championship against Zoe Stark. I'm going to take Ria Ripley to

746
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:30.280
retain. Yeah, I really want
to pick Zoe and I think in a

747
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:32.400
year this is where Zoe. I
think a year from now Zoe wins this

748
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:35.920
match, but right now I'm taking
to Reea Ripley to retain as well.

749
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:38.840
Next match year is the Women's War
Games. Match is Bianca Bella, Charlotte

750
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:43.119
Flairer, Shatzi, and Becky Lynch
take on Damage Control Bailey, EO Sky,

751
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:45.000
Oscar and Kyrie. Saying Tree,
who do you like this one?

752
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:52.760
I'm taking Shatzis, Charlotte, Becky
and uh Bianca uh man that they have

753
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:57.360
more name power. Plus I think
this is where the rest of Damage Controlled

754
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:01.199
kicks Bailey out coming out of this
match. Yeah, that I'm taking Bianca,

755
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:04.679
Charlotte, Shotsy and Becky as well, and I'm with you. I

756
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:07.159
think that's the storyline in this one, is that this leads to Bailey being

757
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:10.800
kicked out of Damage Control, which
will be strange that she will be back

758
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:15.880
as a babyface, possibly Doctor Trey. Yeah, and then it's a question

759
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:21.320
of does Dakota stay with EO,
Osca and Kyrie or does she get kicked

760
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:23.440
out as well because she's injured.
It's hard to kick somebody out who's injured,

761
00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:29.400
but then it's hard. She then
becomes the fourth wheel in a sense,

762
00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:32.039
like one of these is not like
the other three. So it's to

763
00:53:32.119 --> 00:53:36.239
be interesting what they do with Zakota
Kai. I think she stays because she's

764
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:38.320
kind of in their mouthpiece, so
I could see that role being played out

765
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:43.519
as she recovers some injury. I
think to up your question is, does

766
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:47.880
Bailey return to be the hugger?
Ooh, maybe the high fiber. I

767
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:52.840
don't know, but now that looks
like you can get Bailey, Charlotte and

768
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:57.119
Becky against EO, Kyrie and Oscar, which would be really really entertating few

769
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:01.800
as well, or or Bianca Charlott, It and ba I think you're still

770
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:05.119
go to end up a Bianca,
end up a Jade at some point like

771
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:07.639
this, Oh yeah, I'm with
you, I'm with you. I thought

772
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.639
they were kind of teasing the whole
Bailey hugger stuff because they all hugged on

773
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:14.679
SmackDown and she said, I don't
do this anymore, all right, haven't

774
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:15.360
done it in a long time.
And I was like, hmm, they

775
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:21.119
got my Spider Sense tingling next batch
here Men's Wargames match could Road Seth,

776
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:25.960
Freaking Ronalds, Jay Uzo, Sammy
Zay and they returning Randy Orton take on

777
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:30.639
the Judgment Day Damian Priest, Finvaler, Dirty Dominic, Mysterio and JD McDonough,

778
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:34.119
who are also joined by Drew McIntyre
who is not part of the Judgment

779
00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:37.039
Day Doctor Trey, I will start
on this one. I'm gonna take Cody,

780
00:54:37.199 --> 00:54:42.679
Seth, Jay, Sammy and Randy
Orton winning this, and I foresee

781
00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:47.199
that this starts the cracks in the
Judgment Day where they begin similar to the

782
00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:52.440
match we just discussed on the verge
of kicking out Damian Priests and maybe he

783
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:55.920
gets replaced by an eventual Drew McIntyre. So I've team Cody, Seth,

784
00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:00.599
Jay, Sammy and Randy Orton won
in this one. See, I have

785
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:04.360
a hard time with them because I
picked the baby faces in the women's match,

786
00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:08.360
and typically they try to do one
surprise. So I think I'll take

787
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:13.920
Judgment Day because Drew turning is the
cool new thing, even though Randy returnings

788
00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:17.559
up there, but I think I'll
take I think I'll take Judgment Day just

789
00:55:17.639 --> 00:55:22.440
because like, I can't have two
babyface teams win at Wargames, so I'll

790
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:24.760
take Judgment day either win. Now, I hear you. I had a

791
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:29.360
tough time making that call as well, but I gotta be different from you

792
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:32.440
on least one match. Fair enough, fair enough. We will recap and

793
00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:37.440
review WW Survivor Series war Games on
next week's edition of SRTU on November thirtieth.

794
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:43.239
Speaking of upcoming editions of SRTU,
we always do this on the Thanksgiving

795
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:50.440
Said Special, the holiday schedule announcement
Thursday December twenty first, our traditional we

796
00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:55.159
look back at our twenty twenty three
Both Prediction Special Thursday December the twenty eighth.

797
00:55:55.639 --> 00:55:59.519
It is the last show of twenty
twenty three, which is our annual

798
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.599
two thousand, twenty three SRT Award
Show Special, and then we kick off

799
00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:08.679
twenty twenty four on Thursday January fourth
with our twenty twenty four Wrestling Preview show.

800
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:15.400
I know aw World's End is going
on during the SRT Award Show and

801
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:21.760
the wrestling preview show, Doctor Trey
and I will talk about this off air

802
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:24.000
a little bit, but I have
a feeling that we'll probably do either some

803
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:29.719
sort of quick bonus editions of the
podcast where we preview the show and then

804
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:32.360
maybe predict it during the holiday schedule, or we may just throw them up

805
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:37.880
on the Facebook and Twitter feeds of
what our predictions are and then recap them

806
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:40.280
at a later time after the wrestling
preview show. So there you go,

807
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:45.239
Doctor Trey. The holiday schedule has
been announced. It's going to be here

808
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.199
in less than four weeks, which
is wild to think about. My friend,

809
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:52.760
Yeah, it's weird, like this
is the I don't know you like,

810
00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:57.280
this feels like the first normal year
we've had in quite a while.

811
00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.440
Like in previous years they kind of
like it becomes of the pandemic. It

812
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:05.159
kind of felt like it made me
drugged through a little longer. Twenty twenty

813
00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:09.679
three kind of flew by, So
I guess this is also the showing that,

814
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:15.400
hey, we're actually kind of back
to normal now. But holiday schedule

815
00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:17.960
our favorite time of year because everybody
knows how much I hate the Bull Prediction

816
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:23.239
shows and I hate the recap from
the Bull Prediction show, So looking forward

817
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:27.400
to see how stupid I said it
last year and how idiotic I'll be coming

818
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:30.679
into twenty twenty four. Every year, I always enjoy When Doctor Trey brings

819
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:34.679
up that he sounds like a redneck
Termit the Frog. I mean, it's

820
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:38.199
such a contrasting styles that I'm like, Wow, I did not see that

821
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:43.039
one coming, but he catches me. Every time holiday schedule is upon us,

822
00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:45.440
folks, it's only a matter of
weeks, which is insane. But

823
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:50.760
twenty twenty three is coming to a
close here in the next four to five

824
00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:52.719
weeks. Would that said, let's
get a couple of plugs in spots out

Rocke City Championship Wrestling and Spartan Championship

835
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.119
Wrestling to the shows I work with
here in Alabama. As December second,

836
00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:37.760
Jeff is the seven year anniversary show
of Rocket City Championship Wrestling, So we

837
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:40.239
talk about time flying by like I
was here. We were doing the show

838
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:44.440
when Rocket City launched, and now
we're hitting the seven year anniversary. So

839
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.360
December second, seven year anniversion,
which also means the Rocket City Rumble will

840
00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:52.039
be right around the first of January, which is also one of our favorite

841
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:57.760
shows the year because dear Lord,
we've had cameraman, crowd people, ballets,

842
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:01.039
just everybody in the world has jumped
into a rouble at one point or

843
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:05.159
the other. I mean Conrad Top
and Tons Shiovanni have come down and watched

844
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:07.239
the Rubble. So it's one of
our favorite shows of the year. So

845
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.559
that was just coming up first of
January. So seven years of Rockett Championship

846
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:15.920
Wrestling, thirteen years of the Still
Realtor Show, and neither of us have

847
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:19.159
died yet, So thank you.
Yeah, there's not on wood. Not

848
00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:22.280
on wood. I'm very thankful for
that to wrap it all up with that

00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:25.360
said, thank you for making this
