00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.479
Oh my call me Anty. Welcome to another edition of
2
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.520
Lucha on Marcho as This is Lucha Talk number may HanThe.
3
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.079
I'm just sitting here doing a little sad sabby beforehand. Gnom,
4
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.159
that intro is buyer. Thank you so much for that.
5
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.159
D But guys, we have to do some house cleaning first.
6
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.519
Look at the bottom of the screen here, check out
7
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.799
the tick or follow me in all of those sites,
8
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:22.120
because guys, we are rising. That's right. Our YouTube channel
9
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.120
here has gone from four hundred and fifty subscribers to
10
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.439
almost nineteen hundred. I don't know what happened. I just
11
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.400
have to say thank you so much for the support.
12
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.519
I'm so excited that you enjoy my brand of professional
13
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.439
wrestling talk because I know a lot of people don't
14
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.480
like this brand. A lot of people don't enjoy this style,
15
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.680
and I do like to talk about the things that
16
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.560
others don't want to talk about, the things that are
17
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.159
a little bit too uncomfortable for everybody. That's what I
18
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.280
want to do because I believe that is important as
19
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.680
wrestling fans to talk about the behind the scenes stuff. Yeah,
20
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.519
I get it, I understand what you're saying. Sometimes professional
21
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.120
wrestling can be taken too seriously. Well, guys, there's nothing
22
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.760
wrong with taking something seriously as long as you treat
23
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.319
it with the love and respect that you do everything else. Now,
24
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.199
let's be clear about something right here and right now.
25
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.879
REW Revolution was one of the best aw pay per
26
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.840
views of the calendar year. I'm not comparing two companies.
27
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.560
I'm not doing that shit. We're not going back and
28
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.520
forth and talking about whether this was better than that.
29
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.199
We're not doing that. Let's let other people do that stuff.
30
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.240
Let's let the hyperbole that has been bred in professional
31
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.319
wrestling leave that stuff elsewhere. What we are going to
32
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.919
do is we are going to talk about the show
33
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.439
last night and what it meant, the stories going forward,
34
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.039
and we're going to talk about the stars that were made,
35
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.360
because that's what I believe professional wrestling has given us.
36
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.240
It has given us the opportunity to talk about the
37
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.639
people and the shows that happened right here in the moment.
38
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.680
So let's do that. I have to tell you obviously,
39
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.319
I'm a Homer wearing my cowboy shit shirt. I am
40
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.039
a huge Hangman Adam Paige fan. I would say, as
41
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.960
a whole I believe Hangman Adam Page should be mentioned
42
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:17.120
with the likes of Cody Roman, Seth Punk aj will Osprey.
43
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.879
I don't know why Hangman Adam Page is never mentioned
44
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.120
with these other greats, with these other world renowned professional wrestlers,
45
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.360
but I think he should be. See, Hangman Adam Paige
46
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.919
can go out there and he can give you a
47
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.560
blood feud. He can make you invest into what he's doing.
48
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.479
You see, you look at his matches with Swerve Strickland.
49
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.120
You cared about every single match that they had. Every
50
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.120
person that watched Hangman Adam Page and Swerve of Strickland,
51
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.639
they were invested entirely. And once again we did it,
52
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.960
but we not only did that this time, but we
53
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:58.360
did it with Hangman Adam Paige and m J f Ao, Oh,
54
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.639
old school, how are you doing? Thank you so much
55
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.800
for joining the chat man. We're just talking about aw
56
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.159
revolution here because the show was pretty solid. Man, it
57
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.039
was a pretty solid show. Mjf and hanging at him Page,
58
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.639
They tore the house down. They started the show off
59
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.439
with a banger. I thought this was the match of
60
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.120
the night for me. I know that a little personal
61
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.160
bias in there, being that I am such a big
62
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.240
Page fan. I wouldn't like to really say that about MJF.
63
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:25.879
But what I will say is that he has rubbed
64
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.199
a lot of people the wrong way, but I believe
65
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.160
he does so by doing exactly what he's meant to do.
66
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.240
You see, he doesn't work a lot, and that drives
67
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.560
you nuts. He doesn't cut a lot of promos, and
68
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.319
that drives you nuts. And I think he's just forever
69
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.600
living in his character. He is one of those guys
70
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.600
that is going to stay ca fabed forever. If you've
71
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.959
seen him at an autograph signing, if you've seen him
72
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.279
at just a wrestling show, he's just a terrible person,
73
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.040
but he's definitely playing a character. Oh man, thank you
74
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.319
so much for stopping before you jump into work. Man. Yeah,
75
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.959
I got work in about an hour here as well,
76
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.959
and I just wanted to get this show out because
77
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.000
I had so much to say about it. Appreciate you, man,
78
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.360
Appreciate you stopping by. Yeah, this match itself, it did
79
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.319
have a little bit of a hiccup. There was a
80
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.480
spot there in which mjfel on his face. It was
81
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.199
clear that the two men were both looking for a
82
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:30.160
different result. But so far, there's been no reports that
83
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.480
Max has been injured, So it could have just been
84
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.560
a scary mistake that we all caught. And you know,
85
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.839
thank God that there's no there's no injuries at play
86
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.399
here because that match was spectacular. I don't think that
87
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.519
that little hiccup took away from the match at all.
88
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.000
Leading into Mercedes money versus Momo. I think this is
89
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.920
another Mercedes match. I mean, we are not going to
90
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.360
knock her work. She does really well in the ring,
91
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.680
you know, bell to bell. I just think her selling
92
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.519
feuds is not her strong suit. The fact that she's
93
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.000
been able to give different women the shine that she's
94
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.079
been able to do at every pay per view, I
95
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.920
think is something that needs to be praised. Good for
96
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.079
her to do that, good for her to actually always
97
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.319
have someone else on there. When we talk about the
98
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.560
Hollywood ending, I am going to mention why I believe
99
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.639
that we already have mercedes next feud in the works.
100
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.920
From here, we're going to move on to Swerve and Ricochet,
101
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.079
and I think, and I want to state this, I
102
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.759
think that the apology should be as loud as the disrespect,
103
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.759
because Ricochet has come in to ae W and he
104
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.879
told you from the get go, I want to be
105
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:44.160
the face of this company. I want to be the
106
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.879
top guy in this company. And people laughed at him
107
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.680
because they only saw what wwe allowed us to see.
108
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.079
We didn't get to see this version of Ricochet. We
109
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.399
didn't get to see the Andrew Tait character that he
110
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.480
is portraying. And now we're watching it and he's doing
111
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.160
it so seamlessly. It's almost like this is who he
112
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.680
is in real life. I always go back to what
113
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.480
Stonehold Steve Austin said about the character of Stonecold. He said,
114
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.639
when it started to work for me was when I
115
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.120
realized that Stonecold was just Steve Williams turned up on
116
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.600
the radio. It was him, And I wonder if a
117
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.160
lot of what we're seeing in Ricochet is maybe this
118
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.360
is who Trevor is, and it's being portrayed beautifully on screen.
119
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.639
What him and Swerve Strickland have done. We had two
120
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.680
men going out there vying for the next opportunity to
121
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.879
be the number one contender for the aw World Championship.
122
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.480
I don't believe their feud is over. I don't believe
123
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.720
Ricochet lets this go. Yeah, he took the l yesterday,
124
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.680
but they're one and one now, that's right, guys, they're
125
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.959
one and one now. So I believe somehow Someway Ricochet
126
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.160
stops Swerve from winning the aw World Championship, and I
127
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.279
believe that it turns into a triple threat match. I
128
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.279
think we get John Moxley, Ricochet and Swerve of Strickland
129
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.040
in the future. This match itself was phenomenal. It was
130
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.920
one of the better matches of the evening. But I
131
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.120
think we could say that almost every single match was
132
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.240
as better. It was better than the last one. I mean,
133
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.279
we did have the you know, the snoozers, you know which,
134
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.000
which were kind of mind boggling to me. Because let's
135
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.439
be clear about something. When we talk about the next match,
136
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.199
we're just gonna brush over it because wow, just the
137
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.120
downfall for Okada. Now, I am a fan of Brody.
138
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.360
I think Brody King is super underrated, and I think
139
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.960
between him and Buddy Murphy, I think that they are
140
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.000
a beautiful tag team. I think that they do great
141
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.519
things together, and I think not having Malachi there I
142
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.879
think will help both of them. But oh, this match
143
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.519
wasn't it. I don't know what's happening. Okada used to
144
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.000
be one of these guys that you knew you could
145
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.720
throw him out there with anybody, and he can give
146
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.120
you a spectacular match. I don't know what this says
147
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.000
about Okada, to be quite honest with you, if this
148
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.600
speaks more towards how talented the roster is, and maybe
149
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.639
he's just not the top guy like he was in Japan,
150
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.679
but it definitely feels like Okada. Ooh, we got from
151
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.799
the dungeon. AW will close in two years. Oh, let's see, man,
152
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.480
they've ready surpassed WCW. Yeah. Oh, let's see. Glad to
153
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.440
see Swerve got back in the title picture. Absolutely, man, absolutely, Oh,
154
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.679
we are going to talk about John Mox because I
155
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.519
have some opinions about mister Mox, and I don't think
156
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.240
people are going to be happy with my opinions, but
157
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.799
I think it is necessary. But we won't get to
158
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.399
that in due time. I will try to get there
159
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.759
before you get to work there, my friend. Uh yeah,
160
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.360
I think Okata has just been caught up in the
161
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.799
storm where he no longer is the most talented guy
162
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.919
on the roster, and he was that in Japan even
163
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.799
with the belt Machine. Kenny Omegas were talking about Kenny
164
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.480
here and needing to go to WWE before he's done. Absolutely,
165
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.360
I need a Kenny omegaut WrestleMania. We need that to
166
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.399
happen for fans, We need that to happen, even if
167
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.480
it's one match. We got to see Sting wrestle at
168
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.399
WrestleMania one time. We need to see Kenny Omega wrestle
169
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:15.000
at WrestleMania one time. Just needs to happen. Uh yeah,
170
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.840
I think Okada has just he just got caught up
171
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.960
in the shuffle. There's just too many people on here,
172
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.960
and I don't think they know how to actually properly
173
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.159
build him. I think maybe sticking him with Don Kallas,
174
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.279
maybe kicking out Takeshita, and maybe Okata joins him, and
175
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:32.120
maybe Okada is like his next big like signing, like
176
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.480
let's do that. Let's give him that heel, because I
177
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.600
think that Okada could take over AW. I want to
178
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.360
see Okada versus Ricochet. I want to see things like that.
179
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.840
But we'll see the Hurt Syndicate beat the Outrunners. I
180
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.960
don't think that anybody is surprised by this one here.
181
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.840
I mean, let's be truthful. The Hurt Syndicate is here
182
00:10:51.879 --> 00:11:00.919
to hurt people. Bobby Lashly, Shelton, Benjamin mb P. This
183
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.320
is gonna be one of the best things that's ever
184
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.679
happened to AW. They are absolutely the perfect group for
185
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.240
this organization. Because let's be clear about this, guys. Let's
186
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.480
be clear. Bobby Lashley wasn't given the shine he should
187
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:21.240
have gotten. He should still be in WWE running, He
188
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.440
should still be feuding with the Lights of seth Rawlins,
189
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.639
Roman Reign, CM Punk, He should still be out there.
190
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.600
But they fumbled the bag and AW has picked that up.
191
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.679
They have presented us with the same character with the
192
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.960
group that we love because everyone loved the Hurt business
193
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:40.960
everyone and now we're getting one of the best versions.
194
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.000
By the time Bobby Lashley gets to the World Championship,
195
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.799
I think AW will be completely overrun. They will be
196
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.000
running the entire organization, and I think that that's a
197
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.039
great thing. Now we're jumping into the Hollywood ending where
198
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.240
I will bring up Mercedes Monet, so Tony Storm, and
199
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.639
Mariah May. What they have given us is they have
200
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.720
absolutely given us a story that will be studied in
201
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.000
wrestling schools for the next couple of decades. This is
202
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.080
how you build a star. Brian Danielson once said that
203
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.600
he told Tony Kahn to go get Mariah May because
204
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.240
he saw her and he knew that she had the goods. Boy,
205
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.200
was that man right? The story in which they were
206
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.919
able to tell us what this Hollywood ending was phenomenal.
207
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.960
Let's be clear here, guys, this is one of the
208
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.879
best stories AW is ever told. Tony Storm is the
209
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.120
MVP of AW. She's the greatest star to ever come
210
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.519
out of this company. It's not even close. You can
211
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.279
make the argument it's Kenny Omega. Sure, make that argument.
212
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.600
You can try to make the argument that it's Will Osprey.
213
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:47.200
Go ahead. I personally believe that's just my opinion. I
214
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.159
personally believe that Tony Storm is the biggest start to
215
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.360
come out of this company, and she's also done a
216
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:58.600
great job of building Mariah May. Now this is a
217
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:00.879
blood feud, and I believe Tony Storm has her work
218
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.559
cut out for her because now she has to make
219
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.679
someone else. So, hey, go make a Harley Cameron, Go
220
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:12.639
make a sky Blue, Go make a Julia Hart. And
221
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.600
you believe that she has gone from getting a pie
222
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.840
thrown in her face by Charlotte Flair to being a
223
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.159
laughingstock of professional wrestling, to go to AW to be
224
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:29.159
their best superstar. They've ever made. Is that not amazing
225
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.240
what she has done? And then for her to be
226
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.120
in a movie, for her to show her character at
227
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.480
the movie premiere. I mean Mariah May attacked her at
228
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:42.519
the premiere of Queen of the Ring and I was like, yes, yes,
229
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.039
this is what they're missing in AW. If you go
230
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.480
back to the Von Erics movie, MJF was supposed to
231
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.879
be in that movie, and yeah, he didn't play a
232
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.639
big part, but there were more WWE people there to
233
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:56.080
support him. This time, the AW people showed out. I
234
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.480
think Tony Storm could make Camille, Hey, let's capitalize all
235
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.320
the fact that she he's a big part in the movie.
236
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.440
Let's do that. I think we could definitely do that.
237
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:10.320
Oh oh, let's see here, we have a contradictory opinion here.
238
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.360
I don't know what you see in Tony Storm is
239
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.200
super overrated. She left WW because she couldn't get anything. Honestly.
240
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.679
I think Friend of the Show Patty Reakan once stated
241
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.360
that he believes that it had a lot to do
242
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.240
with her attitude backstage. But I think in terms of
243
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.840
what she's been able to present to professional wrestling and
244
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.200
what she's been able to do in AEW and build
245
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.879
this character like this old school character. I think it's
246
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.200
just worked. She talks the way she needs to talk,
247
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.600
like she she has those like bang words that like
248
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.799
people want to hear it out like people want that
249
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.639
Attitude era kind of style of talking. And she does
250
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.080
drop like the bitches and the and the and the
251
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.960
c see you next Tuesdays. Like she drops that stuff,
252
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.799
and that's what people want to see. She's more rated
253
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.120
r than people are, you know, willing to admit that
254
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.559
they actually want. I will talk on some of the
255
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.000
things that you guys have in the chat here, just
256
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.039
want to get through there. But I'm one hundred percent
257
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:05.840
old school. Am I going to talk about that here?
258
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.720
That beautiful Hall of Fame induction, I'm going to definitely
259
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.080
touch on that. But from here we go to Kenny
260
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.639
Omega beating to Keshaa and yeah, I thought this was
261
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.360
a solid match. Kenny Omega once again just getting into
262
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.279
the fold looking like Kenny Omega. He's one of the
263
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.639
guys that can be close to death and then come
264
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.679
back to professional wrestling and just show the world that
265
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.720
he might quite he might be the best wrestler on
266
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.000
the fucking planet. Like I don't even know how we
267
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:32.480
don't talk about that. Kenny Omega just comes back, has
268
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.480
not skipped a beat. I don't know how he does it.
269
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.000
He's just a brilliant performer. I think his mind is
270
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.279
just wonderful. The way it works in terms of in
271
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.440
ring work, the way he was able to get to
272
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.240
Kesha over the way he did. I mean, it's just phenomenal.
273
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:53.240
From here, we have Ospray versus Kyle Fletcher. I don't
274
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.159
know why we got the outcome we had. Both of
275
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.519
these men had a good, solid cage match, but I
276
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.679
thought the objective was to make Kyle Fletcher. Why not
277
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.000
have him have this monumental win over will Ospray. It
278
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.360
makes no sense to me. I get why they did
279
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.240
it because will Ospray cuts the promo at the end
280
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:16.000
where he's like, oh, I'm hiding from aw Medical and
281
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.960
he's like talking about wanting to be the face of
282
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.840
the company. And I get it. Everybody wants to be
283
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.840
the face of the company. That's awesome. Everybody's fighting for
284
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.039
the same spot. That's cool, But I think it would
285
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.559
have mattered. That promo hits a lot harder after a loss.
286
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.879
That's kind of how I feel about it. That promo
287
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.879
would hit a spot harder after a loss like I
288
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.320
failed tonight. But my objective is to be the face
289
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.399
of the company. And I don't understand why we got
290
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:46.840
a somber promo after, you know, a monumental win, a
291
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:51.759
big time cage match, but we end the show with
292
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:57.559
John Moxley versus Cope. That's right, John Moxley versus Cobin. Guys,
293
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.600
the match itself was boring as fuck, but I think
294
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.400
that was the objective. You see the brain Busters in
295
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.960
the eighties, they used to say it all the time.
296
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.720
I'm not here for your entertainment. I'm here to win matches.
297
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.599
That's why they won every single match with a different finish.
298
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.200
They didn't care. Their job was to win. They don't
299
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.960
care if they pissed you off. And that brings me
300
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.599
to my next comment. John Moxley's needed. When was the
301
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:27.839
last time universally we're WWE fans and eight EW fans
302
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:33.240
can sit down with each other and can actually agree
303
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.400
on something. One of the things we agree with is
304
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.839
that we all hate John Moxley. Everybody wants them to
305
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.079
go away one percent. Everybody wants them to go away.
306
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.240
To me, that is one of the coolest things ever.
307
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.880
We have a proper heel. Guys. We have a guy
308
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.880
that we can universally say, like, get the title off them.
309
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.039
You can say it's changed the channel heat. You can say,
310
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.400
oh man, he just drives me not to he pisses
311
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.519
me off. I want anybody to beat him. That's good.
312
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.799
The last time we were here was two thousand and
313
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.400
nine Randy Whorton, where nobody wanted him to win because
314
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.920
he just ah, he was just punting everybody's head. It
315
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:16.960
was one of the just absolute worst things that happened.
316
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.119
And now we have it with John Moxley, and not
317
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.519
only did he do that, but he's done it in
318
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.920
such a way in which he's galvanized every single wrestling
319
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:31.079
fan together. We can universally say it that we have
320
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.240
all become the Grinch and Tom Oxley is the living
321
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.359
embodiments of Christmas. We don't want that shit. We don't
322
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.839
want him. It's wonderful to watch it is. He needs
323
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:44.559
to be the champion. He needs to continue to beat
324
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.839
all your favorites. He needs to continue to beat all
325
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:50.079
my favorites. I want him to do that. So ultimately,
326
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.039
when he does lose the championship, it matters so much more.
327
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:59.559
I love the fact that everyone anticipated Christian Cage to
328
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.599
come out to cash in his little what do you
329
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.480
call it? Clipboard and he was going to steal the victory.
330
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.759
We're gonna go from heel to hill champion. He hits
331
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:15.240
a spear on Adam Copeland. It's the un prettier on Cope.
332
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:17.960
He goes to the pin and then he gets strapped
333
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.039
in the bulldog choke, one of the coolest finishers. If
334
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.079
you don't like the bulldog choke, I just don't think
335
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:28.119
you like submissions. It's so dope. I mean, we've all
336
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.960
done it to like brothers, We've all done it in
337
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.599
like the park, to friends. We've all done that move.
338
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:35.680
And he turned it into one of the most ruthless
339
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.240
finishers in all of professional wrestling. John Moxley has become
340
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.240
the most hated man in wrestling. And it's beautiful, it's
341
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:47.599
awesome and uh yeah, oh what do you say here
342
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.079
about his finish? What do you say about finish? Yeah?
343
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.880
He worked me because his death ridership makes me want
344
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.400
to go to the bathroom. Yes, yes, I love it,
345
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.720
but we all agree for whatever reason everybody hates him,
346
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.079
it doesn't matter. Everybody has a reason to hate John Moxley,
347
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.680
and that's why I think he's so important because seth
348
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.160
Rawlins said it in an interview a couple of months ago.
349
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.799
He said, a wrestling is lacking the heels, like the
350
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.480
actual characters that we loathe. We're not going to get
351
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:16.160
that out of John Cena. We're not going to get
352
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.839
that out of the Rock because fans love when those
353
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.279
guys like turn heel. A lot of people love the
354
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.880
Doctor of Thug Anomix, a lot of people love the
355
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:26.200
rock the most electrified man. Oh wait, when he was
356
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.680
a heel, he was the most electrifying man in all
357
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.519
of entertainment. And now he's the final bass People love
358
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.160
him for that. And the same thing works for John Cena.
359
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.240
Everybody's anticipating him to be the heel. They want this version.
360
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.200
We've been screaming for it. This is his swan song
361
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.079
to us aw's pay per view. I believe is a
362
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.480
four out of five and banadas, guys, that's what I'm
363
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.880
giving it. I think the show was really good. I
364
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.440
just want to remind you that hyperbole, although it is
365
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.799
in your vocabulary, not everything needs to be exaggerated. Not
366
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.279
everything we saw yesterday was the greatest thing that AW
367
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.519
ever had. Not every match we saw was the greatest
368
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.559
match of all time. Not every match we saw yesterday
369
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.799
was the match of the year. It was just a
370
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:10.720
really good show, and AW definitely they definitely do the
371
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.880
opposite of WCWWCW used to care more about Nitro than
372
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.119
they did about the actual pay per views. There was
373
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.039
a lot of times where I came out of Halloween
374
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.640
Havoc or Fall Brawl or Super Bowl thinking, like, man,
375
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.720
last week's Nitro episode was better than this. I'm so
376
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.279
glad I had the scramble Box because can you imagine
377
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:30.960
my dad having a buy all that shit for me?
378
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:32.799
No way, I know both of you guys had the
379
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.680
scramblebox too. I don't want to hear it. We all
380
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:39.000
lived in big cities, we all had the Scramblebox. But Yeah,
381
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:40.319
for me, I thought that was a four out of
382
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.319
five show. I thought it was the best show dating
383
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.640
back to last March. If we're just using twelve months
384
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:46.279
in a row, I think it was the best aw
385
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.039
show of the past year. Now let's move on to
386
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.160
some great things, and we're gonna talk about it here.
387
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.599
We're gonna bring up olds. I know that all three
388
00:21:55.640 --> 00:22:00.240
of us here we all agree Lex Luger is in
389
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.559
the Hall of Fame. Guys, let me tell you something.
390
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.519
When I was a little boy sitting down watching Lex
391
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:14.319
Luger with my dad, I the way a man just
392
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.559
watching my dad talk about Lex Luger. He was my
393
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.519
dad's favorite wrestler. I grew up such a big fan.
394
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:22.920
I have a connection with him. I've been able to
395
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.240
make friendships with both of them. In our chat with
396
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.440
d and Old School here just based on just our
397
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:32.079
love of Lex. When Old School was on the podcast before,
398
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.119
I believe he wore a Lex Luger T shirt. You know,
399
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.680
I think it's uh just our our love of Lex Luger.
400
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.119
I think a lot of people, a lot of people
401
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.599
forget how amazing he was. I think a lot of
402
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:49.240
people have told themselves that he wasn't a good wrestler
403
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.200
without actually going back and watching this man work. He
404
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:54.680
was just a classic professional wrestler. He just wasn't the
405
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:57.799
but he was an ultimate warrior, you know what I mean,
406
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:03.599
Like he wasn't that he was. He was a good wrestler.
407
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.079
He was good to great, A multiple time WCW heavyweight champion,
408
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:13.200
a absolute beast of a man, the way he was
409
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:17.599
able to torture rack just about anybody. When he beat
410
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.559
hul Kogan on that episode of WCW Nitro that shocked
411
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.119
the world. Knowing that, I mean, he drops the championship
412
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:25.599
at the very next pay per view, and that's fine.
413
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.240
But just watching Lex Luger grow from watching him as
414
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.039
the All American when I was a fan there as
415
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:38.079
well watching him as the narcissist. Just He's always been
416
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.519
a special part of my life. He's always been my
417
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.079
connection with my father, and I love that I've been
418
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.640
able to build new connections with old school and with
419
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.160
D because I feel like me and D talk about
420
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.960
like D. He'll set me a text randomly talking about
421
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.920
how Lex Luger's the greatest United States Champion of all time,
422
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.319
and that's how I feel about him. I agree. I
423
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.920
think he's the greatest United States Yeah, I look. As
424
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.119
as soon as I say it, look right here, that's hilarious.
425
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.599
As soon as I say it, greatest United States Champion
426
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.839
all time. I love it. I love it. Yes, yes,
427
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.680
oh yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you. There, D.
428
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.559
His WWE run was kind of bad. I mean, I
429
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.440
did enjoy the All American Lex Luger. I do think
430
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.839
that them doing things like they did, I think it
431
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.079
hurt the business along a lot. Like if you go
432
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.799
back to why we didn't get Rick Flair versus Whole
433
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:32.119
Cocu at WrestleMania eight, the fact that they tried it
434
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.839
at a house show and didn't get the reactions they wanted.
435
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.200
They did the same thing with Lex Luger. They had
436
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.759
them win the WWE Championship or WWF Championship on a
437
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.119
house show and didn't get the reaction they wanted, which
438
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:46.279
is why they never put them over on Yoko ah Man.
439
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.480
I think we've seen WCW gave Us Brett the hit
440
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.119
Man Heart versus Lex Luger for the United States Championship,
441
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.319
and that match was great, and they loved it so
442
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.920
much that they just released their YouTube channel and you
443
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.440
can watch that match in total, like in whole you
444
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.200
can watch the tire match, and it was great. Lex
445
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.759
Luger and Brent for the WWF Championship would have been phenomenal.
446
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.119
I don't understand why they didn't pull the trigger. I mean,
447
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.240
I am a Yoko Zuna fan, so I was a
448
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:15.400
fan as well, because he beat Hogan and anybody that
449
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:20.680
beats Hogan I love so. I definitely loved Yoko Zunah.
450
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:22.680
I didn't really like him so much as a kid,
451
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.480
because you know, I'm a kid. I didn't like bad
452
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.039
guys except for mister Perfect. That was my that was
453
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.119
my bad guy, and uh and miss you know that.
454
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.079
That was pretty much it. But yeah, guys, I love
455
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:35.799
the fact that Lex Luger is officially in the WWE
456
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:37.880
Hall of Fame. I love that. I know a lot
457
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:39.799
of fans have been pushing for it for a very
458
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:43.920
very long time. Let's see what yats say here. They're
459
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:49.319
all American. Deal was kind of like the Sharknaedo flakes.
460
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.319
That's funny, that's funny. What do we got here? What
461
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.119
do we got here? They should have pulled the trigger
462
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.839
in Hogan flair. Yeah, I agree, both of these things
463
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.559
should have happened. They should have happened. I don't know
464
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.000
why they utilize them for house shows as a way
465
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.759
to do that. I mean, they learned from their mistakes.
466
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.119
If you remember when Chris Jericho beat Triple H in
467
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.000
the match that didn't happen. I think we all remember
468
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:14.640
that match, right, and then he has to relinquish the
469
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.680
championship because of Earl Hebner later on that night. I mean,
470
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.799
look at the crowd. It's like a forty five second clip,
471
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.640
but look at the crowd reaction. I think they would
472
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.640
have done that for Lex and had Lex actually win
473
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.039
instead of doing like the whole like double Royal Rumble
474
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.599
thing like, I think it would have benefited h I would.
475
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.079
I think it would have benefited Lex. I also think
476
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.799
he talks about it on the CBV podcast, he was
477
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:42.200
a little bit selfish, you know. So when you watch
478
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:46.079
his Lex Luger biography, when he's on the tour bus,
479
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.839
he does complain a lot, and I think I think
480
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.720
he kind of needed maybe maybe had he been with
481
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.960
Sting earlier, you know. I think I think he starts
482
00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.000
to change a little bit when he goes back to WCW.
483
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.240
We've heard Eric Bishaf talk about it, We've heard Sting
484
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:02.799
talk about it. When he came back, he was just
485
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.119
a different man. And when he came back for that
486
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.599
final run, when he joins the nWo wolf Pack and
487
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.960
all that stuff, I mean, I think it's awesome. I
488
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.240
think that's another thing that I just realized right here
489
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:16.839
that I think both of you guys will agree on
490
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.799
is dude, another nWo member has entered the WWE Hall
491
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.880
of Fame. How amazing is that? Lex Luger being nWo Wolfpack.
492
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.920
We have Sting, we have Kevin Nash, we have Scott Hall,
493
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.640
we have x PAC. All of these nWo guys into
494
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.920
the Hall of Fame, Scott Steiner, I mean, it's just great.
495
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:43.440
Bret Hart, Jeff Jarrett, nWo has They quite possibly could
496
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.960
be the greatest faction of all time because they have
497
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:53.839
the most Hall of Fame members ever. It's wild. Oh
498
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.880
let's see here, Let's see here. Have I watched Have
499
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.720
you watched w W Yes, it's all that's been on
500
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.400
my team. I think I said this in a TikTok
501
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:03.759
video a couple of weeks ago when the Elimination Chamber
502
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.960
was happening. Uh, I only had on my television the
503
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.160
Royal Rumble, like over and over and over. So I
504
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.799
was just watching Royal Rumble after Royal Rumble before Royal
505
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.599
Rumble actually happened for twenty twenty five. And then I
506
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:19.160
did the same thing with the Elimination Chamber. I watched
507
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.200
every single Chamber match that they had on their every
508
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:24.440
single one, even the one that Swagger won, which was
509
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.279
just like mind boggling to me that Jack Swagger want
510
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:31.640
to won an elimination chamber. Just wild. Yeah, I watched
511
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.799
every single one, and as soon as I saw that
512
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.480
WCW put on there, I think it was UD that
513
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:39.839
actually sent it to me. As soon as I saw
514
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.759
that they had a YouTube channel, that's all that's been
515
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:45.160
on my TV. That's it. I've just been watching match
516
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:46.759
after the match and Wow, they have a lot of
517
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:52.240
sting stuff. So it's definitely got me excited. Guys, thank
518
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:54.960
you so much for joining the show. Don't want to
519
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.839
keep you too long. I know we got to get
520
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.640
to work all of us here, so I wanted to
521
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.319
say than thank you so much for joining. Thank you
522
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.480
so much for subscribing, for liking. Please follow me up
523
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.119
the tiktoks, follow me on here on YouTube. The best
524
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:10.200
way to get the podcast out there is through word
525
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.200
of mouth. Tell your friends, Hey, here's this guy. He
526
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:16.519
likes to upset wrestling fans by talking about things that
527
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:18.079
they don't want to talk about, the things they want
528
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.960
to hide. You know, one thing I will say before
529
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:24.799
we go is I find it odd that Cody Rhodes
530
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:26.799
went into business for himself two years in a row,
531
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.279
you know, being told like, hey, last year, give up
532
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.359
your spot, be a good soldier. The rumor was that
533
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.880
he was going to win the title at Starkate. They
534
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.480
were going to have a Starkate event just so he
535
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.640
could win the title like his daddy did, and no,
536
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:44.480
I need to have it at WrestleMania. And then this
537
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.440
year he was asked to go heal and he said no. Now,
538
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:49.319
Brianger Wurtz did shoot this down. So we don't know
539
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:52.200
what's true. We don't know who's telling the truth Meltzer words,
540
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.160
we don't know. It's who you choose to believe. But
541
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.000
based on what we've seen about Cody, I'm gonna say
542
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:04.160
that I believe the rumor. Oo, dude, I gotta say
543
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.480
Brett is my number one. Now I had a drop
544
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:10.359
taker with all the Trump shit. Yeah, I mean, I
545
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.759
love that because I'm a huge Brett Hart fan, love
546
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.359
Brett the hit Man heart. He's in my Mount Rushmore.
547
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:20.200
He is, I mean, in terms of the pecking order
548
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.640
for me, in terms of the men, just men alone,
549
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.279
I would say it's sting Brett Hart, Brian Danielson and
550
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:29.319
Roman Rings. Those are my four favorite wrestlers of all time.
551
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.079
I can't even I can't even put anybody in there.
552
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.079
It took me a long time to take Lesner out
553
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:37.359
of my Mount Rushmore. But Roman Rains has just become
554
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.359
so impactful and so important to me, Like I just
555
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.359
my connection with my son, the way we root for him,
556
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:45.720
Like now, when he has a hit and he's standing
557
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.079
on first base, we throw up the ones, you know,
558
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.000
I mean that's Roman Rains just means everything. And you know,
559
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:53.960
he's just a really great guy. So I love him.
560
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:55.759
I can't wait. I love that he has turned into
561
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.799
the new brock Lesnar. He is no longer a full
562
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.519
time superstar. He is no longer here for your type picture.
563
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:02.319
He is here for story. I'm gonna come in, I'm
564
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.359
gonna win my match, and I'm gonna go and then
565
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:06.480
I'm just gonna leave the business to you guys. And
566
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:08.799
I love that. I think that's beautiful for Roman Rings.
567
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.759
Becky Lynch is the greatest of all time, by the way.
568
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.759
Don't don't even want that that in terms of women
569
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:19.079
wrestlers ever, Becky Lynch number one all time. Becky Lynch,
570
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.920
aj Lee Bailey top three women in professional wrestling history,
571
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.599
not even close. Oh, Charlotte Flair, that's my Mount rushmore
572
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:33.279
right there, Becky Lynch, A, j Lee, Charlotte Flair, and Bailey. Guys,
573
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.920
thank you so much for tuning into the show. I
574
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.519
appreciate each and everyone he is. I can't wait to
575
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.839
come back here for Lucha Talk six, as we will
576
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:48.759
most likely be talking about the raw tonight because Madison
577
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:54.480
Square Garden has CM Punk versus Seth Rollins and my god,
578
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:58.640
are we just not going to lose our minds with
579
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.720
excitement over this match, but we'll save that for the
580
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.200
next time. Please come on back. I look forward to
581
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:06.880
talking with you, and until next time, get the got
582
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:07.480
Wendy out.
1
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.479
Oh my call me Anty. Welcome to another edition of
2
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.520
Lucha on Marcho as This is Lucha Talk number may HanThe.
3
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.079
I'm just sitting here doing a little sad sabby beforehand. Gnom,
4
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.159
that intro is buyer. Thank you so much for that.
5
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.159
D But guys, we have to do some house cleaning first.
6
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.519
Look at the bottom of the screen here, check out
7
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.799
the tick or follow me in all of those sites,
8
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:22.120
because guys, we are rising. That's right. Our YouTube channel
9
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.120
here has gone from four hundred and fifty subscribers to
10
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.439
almost nineteen hundred. I don't know what happened. I just
11
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.400
have to say thank you so much for the support.
12
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.519
I'm so excited that you enjoy my brand of professional
13
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.439
wrestling talk because I know a lot of people don't
14
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.480
like this brand. A lot of people don't enjoy this style,
15
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.680
and I do like to talk about the things that
16
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.560
others don't want to talk about, the things that are
17
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.159
a little bit too uncomfortable for everybody. That's what I
18
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.280
want to do because I believe that is important as
19
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.680
wrestling fans to talk about the behind the scenes stuff. Yeah,
20
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.519
I get it, I understand what you're saying. Sometimes professional
21
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.120
wrestling can be taken too seriously. Well, guys, there's nothing
22
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.760
wrong with taking something seriously as long as you treat
23
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.319
it with the love and respect that you do everything else. Now,
24
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.199
let's be clear about something right here and right now.
25
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.879
REW Revolution was one of the best aw pay per
26
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.840
views of the calendar year. I'm not comparing two companies.
27
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.560
I'm not doing that shit. We're not going back and
28
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.520
forth and talking about whether this was better than that.
29
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.199
We're not doing that. Let's let other people do that stuff.
30
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.240
Let's let the hyperbole that has been bred in professional
31
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.319
wrestling leave that stuff elsewhere. What we are going to
32
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.919
do is we are going to talk about the show
33
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.439
last night and what it meant, the stories going forward,
34
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.039
and we're going to talk about the stars that were made,
35
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.360
because that's what I believe professional wrestling has given us.
36
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.240
It has given us the opportunity to talk about the
37
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.639
people and the shows that happened right here in the moment.
38
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.680
So let's do that. I have to tell you obviously,
39
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.319
I'm a Homer wearing my cowboy shit shirt. I am
40
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.039
a huge Hangman Adam Paige fan. I would say, as
41
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.960
a whole I believe Hangman Adam Page should be mentioned
42
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:17.120
with the likes of Cody Roman, Seth Punk aj will Osprey.
43
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.879
I don't know why Hangman Adam Page is never mentioned
44
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.120
with these other greats, with these other world renowned professional wrestlers,
45
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.360
but I think he should be. See, Hangman Adam Paige
46
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.919
can go out there and he can give you a
47
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.560
blood feud. He can make you invest into what he's doing.
48
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.479
You see, you look at his matches with Swerve Strickland.
49
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.120
You cared about every single match that they had. Every
50
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.120
person that watched Hangman Adam Page and Swerve of Strickland,
51
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.639
they were invested entirely. And once again we did it,
52
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.960
but we not only did that this time, but we
53
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:58.360
did it with Hangman Adam Paige and m J f Ao, Oh,
54
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.639
old school, how are you doing? Thank you so much
55
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.800
for joining the chat man. We're just talking about aw
56
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.159
revolution here because the show was pretty solid. Man, it
57
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.039
was a pretty solid show. Mjf and hanging at him Page,
58
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.639
They tore the house down. They started the show off
59
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.439
with a banger. I thought this was the match of
60
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.120
the night for me. I know that a little personal
61
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.160
bias in there, being that I am such a big
62
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.240
Page fan. I wouldn't like to really say that about MJF.
63
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:25.879
But what I will say is that he has rubbed
64
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.199
a lot of people the wrong way, but I believe
65
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.160
he does so by doing exactly what he's meant to do.
66
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.240
You see, he doesn't work a lot, and that drives
67
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.560
you nuts. He doesn't cut a lot of promos, and
68
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.319
that drives you nuts. And I think he's just forever
69
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.600
living in his character. He is one of those guys
70
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.600
that is going to stay ca fabed forever. If you've
71
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.959
seen him at an autograph signing, if you've seen him
72
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.279
at just a wrestling show, he's just a terrible person,
73
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.040
but he's definitely playing a character. Oh man, thank you
74
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.319
so much for stopping before you jump into work. Man. Yeah,
75
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.959
I got work in about an hour here as well,
76
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.959
and I just wanted to get this show out because
77
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.000
I had so much to say about it. Appreciate you, man,
78
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.360
Appreciate you stopping by. Yeah, this match itself, it did
79
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.319
have a little bit of a hiccup. There was a
80
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.480
spot there in which mjfel on his face. It was
81
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.199
clear that the two men were both looking for a
82
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:30.160
different result. But so far, there's been no reports that
83
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.480
Max has been injured, So it could have just been
84
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.560
a scary mistake that we all caught. And you know,
85
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.839
thank God that there's no there's no injuries at play
86
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.399
here because that match was spectacular. I don't think that
87
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.519
that little hiccup took away from the match at all.
88
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.000
Leading into Mercedes money versus Momo. I think this is
89
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.920
another Mercedes match. I mean, we are not going to
90
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.360
knock her work. She does really well in the ring,
91
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.680
you know, bell to bell. I just think her selling
92
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.519
feuds is not her strong suit. The fact that she's
93
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.000
been able to give different women the shine that she's
94
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.079
been able to do at every pay per view, I
95
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.920
think is something that needs to be praised. Good for
96
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.079
her to do that, good for her to actually always
97
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.319
have someone else on there. When we talk about the
98
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.560
Hollywood ending, I am going to mention why I believe
99
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.639
that we already have mercedes next feud in the works.
100
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.920
From here, we're going to move on to Swerve and Ricochet,
101
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.079
and I think, and I want to state this, I
102
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.759
think that the apology should be as loud as the disrespect,
103
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.759
because Ricochet has come in to ae W and he
104
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.879
told you from the get go, I want to be
105
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:44.160
the face of this company. I want to be the
106
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.879
top guy in this company. And people laughed at him
107
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.680
because they only saw what wwe allowed us to see.
108
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.079
We didn't get to see this version of Ricochet. We
109
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.399
didn't get to see the Andrew Tait character that he
110
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.480
is portraying. And now we're watching it and he's doing
111
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.160
it so seamlessly. It's almost like this is who he
112
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.680
is in real life. I always go back to what
113
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.480
Stonehold Steve Austin said about the character of Stonecold. He said,
114
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.639
when it started to work for me was when I
115
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.120
realized that Stonecold was just Steve Williams turned up on
116
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.600
the radio. It was him, And I wonder if a
117
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.160
lot of what we're seeing in Ricochet is maybe this
118
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.360
is who Trevor is, and it's being portrayed beautifully on screen.
119
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.639
What him and Swerve Strickland have done. We had two
120
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.680
men going out there vying for the next opportunity to
121
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.879
be the number one contender for the aw World Championship.
122
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.480
I don't believe their feud is over. I don't believe
123
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.720
Ricochet lets this go. Yeah, he took the l yesterday,
124
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.680
but they're one and one now, that's right, guys, they're
125
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.959
one and one now. So I believe somehow Someway Ricochet
126
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.160
stops Swerve from winning the aw World Championship, and I
127
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.279
believe that it turns into a triple threat match. I
128
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.279
think we get John Moxley, Ricochet and Swerve of Strickland
129
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.040
in the future. This match itself was phenomenal. It was
130
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.920
one of the better matches of the evening. But I
131
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.120
think we could say that almost every single match was
132
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.240
as better. It was better than the last one. I mean,
133
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.279
we did have the you know, the snoozers, you know which,
134
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.000
which were kind of mind boggling to me. Because let's
135
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.439
be clear about something. When we talk about the next match,
136
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.199
we're just gonna brush over it because wow, just the
137
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.120
downfall for Okada. Now, I am a fan of Brody.
138
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.360
I think Brody King is super underrated, and I think
139
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.960
between him and Buddy Murphy, I think that they are
140
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.000
a beautiful tag team. I think that they do great
141
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.519
things together, and I think not having Malachi there I
142
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.879
think will help both of them. But oh, this match
143
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.519
wasn't it. I don't know what's happening. Okada used to
144
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.000
be one of these guys that you knew you could
145
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.720
throw him out there with anybody, and he can give
146
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.120
you a spectacular match. I don't know what this says
147
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.000
about Okada, to be quite honest with you, if this
148
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.600
speaks more towards how talented the roster is, and maybe
149
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.639
he's just not the top guy like he was in Japan,
150
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.679
but it definitely feels like Okada. Ooh, we got from
151
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.799
the dungeon. AW will close in two years. Oh, let's see, man,
152
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.480
they've ready surpassed WCW. Yeah. Oh, let's see. Glad to
153
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.440
see Swerve got back in the title picture. Absolutely, man, absolutely, Oh,
154
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.679
we are going to talk about John Mox because I
155
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.519
have some opinions about mister Mox, and I don't think
156
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.240
people are going to be happy with my opinions, but
157
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.799
I think it is necessary. But we won't get to
158
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.399
that in due time. I will try to get there
159
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.759
before you get to work there, my friend. Uh yeah,
160
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.360
I think Okata has just been caught up in the
161
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.799
storm where he no longer is the most talented guy
162
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.919
on the roster, and he was that in Japan even
163
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.799
with the belt Machine. Kenny Omegas were talking about Kenny
164
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.480
here and needing to go to WWE before he's done. Absolutely,
165
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.360
I need a Kenny omegaut WrestleMania. We need that to
166
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.399
happen for fans, We need that to happen, even if
167
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.480
it's one match. We got to see Sting wrestle at
168
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.399
WrestleMania one time. We need to see Kenny Omega wrestle
169
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:15.000
at WrestleMania one time. Just needs to happen. Uh yeah,
170
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.840
I think Okada has just he just got caught up
171
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.960
in the shuffle. There's just too many people on here,
172
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.960
and I don't think they know how to actually properly
173
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.159
build him. I think maybe sticking him with Don Kallas,
174
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.279
maybe kicking out Takeshita, and maybe Okata joins him, and
175
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:32.120
maybe Okada is like his next big like signing, like
176
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.480
let's do that. Let's give him that heel, because I
177
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.600
think that Okada could take over AW. I want to
178
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.360
see Okada versus Ricochet. I want to see things like that.
179
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.840
But we'll see the Hurt Syndicate beat the Outrunners. I
180
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.960
don't think that anybody is surprised by this one here.
181
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.840
I mean, let's be truthful. The Hurt Syndicate is here
182
00:10:51.879 --> 00:11:00.919
to hurt people. Bobby Lashly, Shelton, Benjamin mb P. This
183
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.320
is gonna be one of the best things that's ever
184
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.679
happened to AW. They are absolutely the perfect group for
185
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.240
this organization. Because let's be clear about this, guys. Let's
186
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.480
be clear. Bobby Lashley wasn't given the shine he should
187
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:21.240
have gotten. He should still be in WWE running, He
188
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.440
should still be feuding with the Lights of seth Rawlins,
189
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.639
Roman Reign, CM Punk, He should still be out there.
190
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.600
But they fumbled the bag and AW has picked that up.
191
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.679
They have presented us with the same character with the
192
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.960
group that we love because everyone loved the Hurt business
193
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:40.960
everyone and now we're getting one of the best versions.
194
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.000
By the time Bobby Lashley gets to the World Championship,
195
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.799
I think AW will be completely overrun. They will be
196
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.000
running the entire organization, and I think that that's a
197
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.039
great thing. Now we're jumping into the Hollywood ending where
198
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.240
I will bring up Mercedes Monet, so Tony Storm, and
199
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.639
Mariah May. What they have given us is they have
200
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.720
absolutely given us a story that will be studied in
201
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.000
wrestling schools for the next couple of decades. This is
202
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.080
how you build a star. Brian Danielson once said that
203
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.600
he told Tony Kahn to go get Mariah May because
204
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.240
he saw her and he knew that she had the goods. Boy,
205
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.200
was that man right? The story in which they were
206
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.919
able to tell us what this Hollywood ending was phenomenal.
207
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.960
Let's be clear here, guys, this is one of the
208
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.879
best stories AW is ever told. Tony Storm is the
209
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.120
MVP of AW. She's the greatest star to ever come
210
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.519
out of this company. It's not even close. You can
211
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.279
make the argument it's Kenny Omega. Sure, make that argument.
212
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.600
You can try to make the argument that it's Will Osprey.
213
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:47.200
Go ahead. I personally believe that's just my opinion. I
214
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.159
personally believe that Tony Storm is the biggest start to
215
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.360
come out of this company, and she's also done a
216
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:58.600
great job of building Mariah May. Now this is a
217
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:00.879
blood feud, and I believe Tony Storm has her work
218
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.559
cut out for her because now she has to make
219
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.679
someone else. So, hey, go make a Harley Cameron, Go
220
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:12.639
make a sky Blue, Go make a Julia Hart. And
221
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.600
you believe that she has gone from getting a pie
222
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.840
thrown in her face by Charlotte Flair to being a
223
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.159
laughingstock of professional wrestling, to go to AW to be
224
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:29.159
their best superstar. They've ever made. Is that not amazing
225
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.240
what she has done? And then for her to be
226
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.120
in a movie, for her to show her character at
227
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.480
the movie premiere. I mean Mariah May attacked her at
228
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:42.519
the premiere of Queen of the Ring and I was like, yes, yes,
229
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.039
this is what they're missing in AW. If you go
230
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.480
back to the Von Erics movie, MJF was supposed to
231
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.879
be in that movie, and yeah, he didn't play a
232
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.639
big part, but there were more WWE people there to
233
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:56.080
support him. This time, the AW people showed out. I
234
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.480
think Tony Storm could make Camille, Hey, let's capitalize all
235
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.320
the fact that she he's a big part in the movie.
236
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.440
Let's do that. I think we could definitely do that.
237
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:10.320
Oh oh, let's see here, we have a contradictory opinion here.
238
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.360
I don't know what you see in Tony Storm is
239
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.200
super overrated. She left WW because she couldn't get anything. Honestly.
240
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.679
I think Friend of the Show Patty Reakan once stated
241
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:21.360
that he believes that it had a lot to do
242
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.240
with her attitude backstage. But I think in terms of
243
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.840
what she's been able to present to professional wrestling and
244
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.200
what she's been able to do in AEW and build
245
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.879
this character like this old school character. I think it's
246
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.200
just worked. She talks the way she needs to talk,
247
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.600
like she she has those like bang words that like
248
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.799
people want to hear it out like people want that
249
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.639
Attitude era kind of style of talking. And she does
250
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.080
drop like the bitches and the and the and the
251
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.960
c see you next Tuesdays. Like she drops that stuff,
252
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.799
and that's what people want to see. She's more rated
253
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.120
r than people are, you know, willing to admit that
254
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.559
they actually want. I will talk on some of the
255
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.000
things that you guys have in the chat here, just
256
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.039
want to get through there. But I'm one hundred percent
257
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:05.840
old school. Am I going to talk about that here?
258
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.720
That beautiful Hall of Fame induction, I'm going to definitely
259
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.080
touch on that. But from here we go to Kenny
260
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.639
Omega beating to Keshaa and yeah, I thought this was
261
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.360
a solid match. Kenny Omega once again just getting into
262
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.279
the fold looking like Kenny Omega. He's one of the
263
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.639
guys that can be close to death and then come
264
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.679
back to professional wrestling and just show the world that
265
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.720
he might quite he might be the best wrestler on
266
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.000
the fucking planet. Like I don't even know how we
267
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:32.480
don't talk about that. Kenny Omega just comes back, has
268
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.480
not skipped a beat. I don't know how he does it.
269
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.000
He's just a brilliant performer. I think his mind is
270
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.279
just wonderful. The way it works in terms of in
271
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.440
ring work, the way he was able to get to
272
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:47.240
Kesha over the way he did. I mean, it's just phenomenal.
273
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:53.240
From here, we have Ospray versus Kyle Fletcher. I don't
274
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.159
know why we got the outcome we had. Both of
275
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.519
these men had a good, solid cage match, but I
276
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.679
thought the objective was to make Kyle Fletcher. Why not
277
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.000
have him have this monumental win over will Ospray. It
278
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.360
makes no sense to me. I get why they did
279
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.240
it because will Ospray cuts the promo at the end
280
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:16.000
where he's like, oh, I'm hiding from aw Medical and
281
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.960
he's like talking about wanting to be the face of
282
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.840
the company. And I get it. Everybody wants to be
283
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.840
the face of the company. That's awesome. Everybody's fighting for
284
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.039
the same spot. That's cool, But I think it would
285
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.559
have mattered. That promo hits a lot harder after a loss.
286
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.879
That's kind of how I feel about it. That promo
287
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.879
would hit a spot harder after a loss like I
288
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.320
failed tonight. But my objective is to be the face
289
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.399
of the company. And I don't understand why we got
290
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:46.840
a somber promo after, you know, a monumental win, a
291
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:51.759
big time cage match, but we end the show with
292
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:57.559
John Moxley versus Cope. That's right, John Moxley versus Cobin. Guys,
293
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.600
the match itself was boring as fuck, but I think
294
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.400
that was the objective. You see the brain Busters in
295
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.960
the eighties, they used to say it all the time.
296
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.720
I'm not here for your entertainment. I'm here to win matches.
297
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.599
That's why they won every single match with a different finish.
298
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.200
They didn't care. Their job was to win. They don't
299
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.960
care if they pissed you off. And that brings me
300
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.599
to my next comment. John Moxley's needed. When was the
301
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:27.839
last time universally we're WWE fans and eight EW fans
302
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:33.240
can sit down with each other and can actually agree
303
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.400
on something. One of the things we agree with is
304
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.839
that we all hate John Moxley. Everybody wants them to
305
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.079
go away one percent. Everybody wants them to go away.
306
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.240
To me, that is one of the coolest things ever.
307
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.880
We have a proper heel. Guys. We have a guy
308
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.880
that we can universally say, like, get the title off them.
309
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.039
You can say it's changed the channel heat. You can say,
310
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.400
oh man, he just drives me not to he pisses
311
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.519
me off. I want anybody to beat him. That's good.
312
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.799
The last time we were here was two thousand and
313
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.400
nine Randy Whorton, where nobody wanted him to win because
314
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.920
he just ah, he was just punting everybody's head. It
315
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:16.960
was one of the just absolute worst things that happened.
316
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.119
And now we have it with John Moxley, and not
317
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.519
only did he do that, but he's done it in
318
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.920
such a way in which he's galvanized every single wrestling
319
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:31.079
fan together. We can universally say it that we have
320
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.240
all become the Grinch and Tom Oxley is the living
321
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.359
embodiments of Christmas. We don't want that shit. We don't
322
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.839
want him. It's wonderful to watch it is. He needs
323
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:44.559
to be the champion. He needs to continue to beat
324
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.839
all your favorites. He needs to continue to beat all
325
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:50.079
my favorites. I want him to do that. So ultimately,
326
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.039
when he does lose the championship, it matters so much more.
327
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:59.559
I love the fact that everyone anticipated Christian Cage to
328
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.599
come out to cash in his little what do you
329
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.480
call it? Clipboard and he was going to steal the victory.
330
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.759
We're gonna go from heel to hill champion. He hits
331
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:15.240
a spear on Adam Copeland. It's the un prettier on Cope.
332
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:17.960
He goes to the pin and then he gets strapped
333
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.039
in the bulldog choke, one of the coolest finishers. If
334
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.079
you don't like the bulldog choke, I just don't think
335
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:28.119
you like submissions. It's so dope. I mean, we've all
336
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.960
done it to like brothers, We've all done it in
337
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.599
like the park, to friends. We've all done that move.
338
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:35.680
And he turned it into one of the most ruthless
339
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.240
finishers in all of professional wrestling. John Moxley has become
340
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.240
the most hated man in wrestling. And it's beautiful, it's
341
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:47.599
awesome and uh yeah, oh what do you say here
342
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.079
about his finish? What do you say about finish? Yeah?
343
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.880
He worked me because his death ridership makes me want
344
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.400
to go to the bathroom. Yes, yes, I love it,
345
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.720
but we all agree for whatever reason everybody hates him,
346
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.079
it doesn't matter. Everybody has a reason to hate John Moxley,
347
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.680
and that's why I think he's so important because seth
348
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.160
Rawlins said it in an interview a couple of months ago.
349
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.799
He said, a wrestling is lacking the heels, like the
350
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.480
actual characters that we loathe. We're not going to get
351
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:16.160
that out of John Cena. We're not going to get
352
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.839
that out of the Rock because fans love when those
353
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.279
guys like turn heel. A lot of people love the
354
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.880
Doctor of Thug Anomix, a lot of people love the
355
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:26.200
rock the most electrified man. Oh wait, when he was
356
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.680
a heel, he was the most electrifying man in all
357
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.519
of entertainment. And now he's the final bass People love
358
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.160
him for that. And the same thing works for John Cena.
359
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.240
Everybody's anticipating him to be the heel. They want this version.
360
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.200
We've been screaming for it. This is his swan song
361
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.079
to us aw's pay per view. I believe is a
362
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.480
four out of five and banadas, guys, that's what I'm
363
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.880
giving it. I think the show was really good. I
364
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.440
just want to remind you that hyperbole, although it is
365
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.799
in your vocabulary, not everything needs to be exaggerated. Not
366
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.279
everything we saw yesterday was the greatest thing that AW
367
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.519
ever had. Not every match we saw was the greatest
368
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.559
match of all time. Not every match we saw yesterday
369
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.799
was the match of the year. It was just a
370
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:10.720
really good show, and AW definitely they definitely do the
371
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.880
opposite of WCWWCW used to care more about Nitro than
372
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.119
they did about the actual pay per views. There was
373
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.039
a lot of times where I came out of Halloween
374
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.640
Havoc or Fall Brawl or Super Bowl thinking, like, man,
375
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.720
last week's Nitro episode was better than this. I'm so
376
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.279
glad I had the scramble Box because can you imagine
377
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:30.960
my dad having a buy all that shit for me?
378
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:32.799
No way, I know both of you guys had the
379
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.680
scramblebox too. I don't want to hear it. We all
380
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:39.000
lived in big cities, we all had the Scramblebox. But Yeah,
381
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:40.319
for me, I thought that was a four out of
382
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.319
five show. I thought it was the best show dating
383
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.640
back to last March. If we're just using twelve months
384
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:46.279
in a row, I think it was the best aw
385
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.039
show of the past year. Now let's move on to
386
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.160
some great things, and we're gonna talk about it here.
387
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.599
We're gonna bring up olds. I know that all three
388
00:21:55.640 --> 00:22:00.240
of us here we all agree Lex Luger is in
389
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.559
the Hall of Fame. Guys, let me tell you something.
390
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.519
When I was a little boy sitting down watching Lex
391
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:14.319
Luger with my dad, I the way a man just
392
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.559
watching my dad talk about Lex Luger. He was my
393
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.519
dad's favorite wrestler. I grew up such a big fan.
394
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:22.920
I have a connection with him. I've been able to
395
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.240
make friendships with both of them. In our chat with
396
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.440
d and Old School here just based on just our
397
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:32.079
love of Lex. When Old School was on the podcast before,
398
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.119
I believe he wore a Lex Luger T shirt. You know,
399
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.680
I think it's uh just our our love of Lex Luger.
400
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.119
I think a lot of people, a lot of people
401
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.599
forget how amazing he was. I think a lot of
402
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:49.240
people have told themselves that he wasn't a good wrestler
403
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.200
without actually going back and watching this man work. He
404
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:54.680
was just a classic professional wrestler. He just wasn't the
405
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:57.799
but he was an ultimate warrior, you know what I mean,
406
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:03.599
Like he wasn't that he was. He was a good wrestler.
407
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.079
He was good to great, A multiple time WCW heavyweight champion,
408
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:13.200
a absolute beast of a man, the way he was
409
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:17.599
able to torture rack just about anybody. When he beat
410
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.559
hul Kogan on that episode of WCW Nitro that shocked
411
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.119
the world. Knowing that, I mean, he drops the championship
412
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:25.599
at the very next pay per view, and that's fine.
413
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.240
But just watching Lex Luger grow from watching him as
414
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.039
the All American when I was a fan there as
415
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:38.079
well watching him as the narcissist. Just He's always been
416
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.519
a special part of my life. He's always been my
417
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.079
connection with my father, and I love that I've been
418
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.640
able to build new connections with old school and with
419
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:49.160
D because I feel like me and D talk about
420
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.960
like D. He'll set me a text randomly talking about
421
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.920
how Lex Luger's the greatest United States Champion of all time,
422
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.319
and that's how I feel about him. I agree. I
423
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.920
think he's the greatest United States Yeah, I look. As
424
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.119
as soon as I say it, look right here, that's hilarious.
425
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.599
As soon as I say it, greatest United States Champion
426
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.839
all time. I love it. I love it. Yes, yes,
427
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.680
oh yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you. There, D.
428
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.559
His WWE run was kind of bad. I mean, I
429
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.440
did enjoy the All American Lex Luger. I do think
430
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.839
that them doing things like they did, I think it
431
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.079
hurt the business along a lot. Like if you go
432
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.799
back to why we didn't get Rick Flair versus Whole
433
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:32.119
Cocu at WrestleMania eight, the fact that they tried it
434
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.839
at a house show and didn't get the reactions they wanted.
435
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.200
They did the same thing with Lex Luger. They had
436
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.759
them win the WWE Championship or WWF Championship on a
437
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.119
house show and didn't get the reaction they wanted, which
438
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:46.279
is why they never put them over on Yoko ah Man.
439
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.480
I think we've seen WCW gave Us Brett the hit
440
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.119
Man Heart versus Lex Luger for the United States Championship,
441
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.319
and that match was great, and they loved it so
442
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.920
much that they just released their YouTube channel and you
443
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.440
can watch that match in total, like in whole you
444
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.200
can watch the tire match, and it was great. Lex
445
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.759
Luger and Brent for the WWF Championship would have been phenomenal.
446
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.119
I don't understand why they didn't pull the trigger. I mean,
447
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.240
I am a Yoko Zuna fan, so I was a
448
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:15.400
fan as well, because he beat Hogan and anybody that
449
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:20.680
beats Hogan I love so. I definitely loved Yoko Zunah.
450
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:22.680
I didn't really like him so much as a kid,
451
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.480
because you know, I'm a kid. I didn't like bad
452
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.039
guys except for mister Perfect. That was my that was
453
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.119
my bad guy, and uh and miss you know that.
454
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.079
That was pretty much it. But yeah, guys, I love
455
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:35.799
the fact that Lex Luger is officially in the WWE
456
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:37.880
Hall of Fame. I love that. I know a lot
457
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:39.799
of fans have been pushing for it for a very
458
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:43.920
very long time. Let's see what yats say here. They're
459
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:49.319
all American. Deal was kind of like the Sharknaedo flakes.
460
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.319
That's funny, that's funny. What do we got here? What
461
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.119
do we got here? They should have pulled the trigger
462
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.839
in Hogan flair. Yeah, I agree, both of these things
463
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.559
should have happened. They should have happened. I don't know
464
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.000
why they utilize them for house shows as a way
465
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.759
to do that. I mean, they learned from their mistakes.
466
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.119
If you remember when Chris Jericho beat Triple H in
467
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.000
the match that didn't happen. I think we all remember
468
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:14.640
that match, right, and then he has to relinquish the
469
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.680
championship because of Earl Hebner later on that night. I mean,
470
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.799
look at the crowd. It's like a forty five second clip,
471
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.640
but look at the crowd reaction. I think they would
472
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.640
have done that for Lex and had Lex actually win
473
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.039
instead of doing like the whole like double Royal Rumble
474
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.599
thing like, I think it would have benefited h I would.
475
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.079
I think it would have benefited Lex. I also think
476
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.799
he talks about it on the CBV podcast, he was
477
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:42.200
a little bit selfish, you know. So when you watch
478
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:46.079
his Lex Luger biography, when he's on the tour bus,
479
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.839
he does complain a lot, and I think I think
480
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.720
he kind of needed maybe maybe had he been with
481
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.960
Sting earlier, you know. I think I think he starts
482
00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.000
to change a little bit when he goes back to WCW.
483
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.240
We've heard Eric Bishaf talk about it, We've heard Sting
484
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:02.799
talk about it. When he came back, he was just
485
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.119
a different man. And when he came back for that
486
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.599
final run, when he joins the nWo wolf Pack and
487
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.960
all that stuff, I mean, I think it's awesome. I
488
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.240
think that's another thing that I just realized right here
489
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:16.839
that I think both of you guys will agree on
490
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.799
is dude, another nWo member has entered the WWE Hall
491
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.880
of Fame. How amazing is that? Lex Luger being nWo Wolfpack.
492
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.920
We have Sting, we have Kevin Nash, we have Scott Hall,
493
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.640
we have x PAC. All of these nWo guys into
494
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.920
the Hall of Fame, Scott Steiner, I mean, it's just great.
495
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:43.440
Bret Hart, Jeff Jarrett, nWo has They quite possibly could
496
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.960
be the greatest faction of all time because they have
497
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:53.839
the most Hall of Fame members ever. It's wild. Oh
498
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.880
let's see here, Let's see here. Have I watched Have
499
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.720
you watched w W Yes, it's all that's been on
500
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.400
my team. I think I said this in a TikTok
501
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:03.759
video a couple of weeks ago when the Elimination Chamber
502
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.960
was happening. Uh, I only had on my television the
503
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.160
Royal Rumble, like over and over and over. So I
504
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.799
was just watching Royal Rumble after Royal Rumble before Royal
505
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.599
Rumble actually happened for twenty twenty five. And then I
506
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:19.160
did the same thing with the Elimination Chamber. I watched
507
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.200
every single Chamber match that they had on their every
508
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:24.440
single one, even the one that Swagger won, which was
509
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.279
just like mind boggling to me that Jack Swagger want
510
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:31.640
to won an elimination chamber. Just wild. Yeah, I watched
511
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:34.799
every single one, and as soon as I saw that
512
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.480
WCW put on there, I think it was UD that
513
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:39.839
actually sent it to me. As soon as I saw
514
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.759
that they had a YouTube channel, that's all that's been
515
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:45.160
on my TV. That's it. I've just been watching match
516
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:46.759
after the match and Wow, they have a lot of
517
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:52.240
sting stuff. So it's definitely got me excited. Guys, thank
518
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:54.960
you so much for joining the show. Don't want to
519
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.839
keep you too long. I know we got to get
520
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.640
to work all of us here, so I wanted to
521
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.319
say than thank you so much for joining. Thank you
522
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.480
so much for subscribing, for liking. Please follow me up
523
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.119
the tiktoks, follow me on here on YouTube. The best
524
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:10.200
way to get the podcast out there is through word
525
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:13.200
of mouth. Tell your friends, Hey, here's this guy. He
526
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:16.519
likes to upset wrestling fans by talking about things that
527
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:18.079
they don't want to talk about, the things they want
528
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.960
to hide. You know, one thing I will say before
529
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:24.799
we go is I find it odd that Cody Rhodes
530
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:26.799
went into business for himself two years in a row,
531
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.279
you know, being told like, hey, last year, give up
532
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.359
your spot, be a good soldier. The rumor was that
533
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.880
he was going to win the title at Starkate. They
534
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.480
were going to have a Starkate event just so he
535
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.640
could win the title like his daddy did, and no,
536
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:44.480
I need to have it at WrestleMania. And then this
537
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.440
year he was asked to go heal and he said no. Now,
538
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:49.319
Brianger Wurtz did shoot this down. So we don't know
539
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:52.200
what's true. We don't know who's telling the truth Meltzer words,
540
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.160
we don't know. It's who you choose to believe. But
541
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.000
based on what we've seen about Cody, I'm gonna say
542
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:04.160
that I believe the rumor. Oo, dude, I gotta say
543
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.480
Brett is my number one. Now I had a drop
544
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:10.359
taker with all the Trump shit. Yeah, I mean, I
545
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.759
love that because I'm a huge Brett Hart fan, love
546
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.359
Brett the hit Man heart. He's in my Mount Rushmore.
547
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:20.200
He is, I mean, in terms of the pecking order
548
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.640
for me, in terms of the men, just men alone,
549
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.279
I would say it's sting Brett Hart, Brian Danielson and
550
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:29.319
Roman Rings. Those are my four favorite wrestlers of all time.
551
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.079
I can't even I can't even put anybody in there.
552
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.079
It took me a long time to take Lesner out
553
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:37.359
of my Mount Rushmore. But Roman Rains has just become
554
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.359
so impactful and so important to me, Like I just
555
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.359
my connection with my son, the way we root for him,
556
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:45.720
Like now, when he has a hit and he's standing
557
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.079
on first base, we throw up the ones, you know,
558
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.000
I mean that's Roman Rains just means everything. And you know,
559
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:53.960
he's just a really great guy. So I love him.
560
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:55.759
I can't wait. I love that he has turned into
561
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.799
the new brock Lesnar. He is no longer a full
562
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.519
time superstar. He is no longer here for your type picture.
563
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:02.319
He is here for story. I'm gonna come in, I'm
564
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.359
gonna win my match, and I'm gonna go and then
565
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:06.480
I'm just gonna leave the business to you guys. And
566
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:08.799
I love that. I think that's beautiful for Roman Rings.
567
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.759
Becky Lynch is the greatest of all time, by the way.
568
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.759
Don't don't even want that that in terms of women
569
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:19.079
wrestlers ever, Becky Lynch number one all time. Becky Lynch,
570
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.920
aj Lee Bailey top three women in professional wrestling history,
571
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.599
not even close. Oh, Charlotte Flair, that's my Mount rushmore
572
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:33.279
right there, Becky Lynch, A, j Lee, Charlotte Flair, and Bailey. Guys,
573
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.920
thank you so much for tuning into the show. I
574
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.519

come back here for Lucha Talk six, as we will

00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:48.759
most likely be talking about the raw tonight because Madison

00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:54.480
Square Garden has CM Punk versus Seth Rollins and my god,
578
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:58.640
are we just not going to lose our minds with
579
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.720
excitement over this match, but we'll save that for the
580
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.200
next time. Please come on back. I look forward to
581
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:06.880
talking with you, and until next time, get the got
