ABOUT THIS EPISODE
AEW fans can watch the same pay-per-view and walk away with totally different verdicts, so we start by unpacking AEW All In and the real reason the reviews were all over the place. If you come to wrestling for sports entertainment and big TV-style moments, AEW’s pace can feel different. If you’re chasing technical wrestling, match quality, and that “let them cook” ring style, All In hits like a statement show. We talk through what worked, what felt off, and how momentum from a major event should shape the weeks that follow.
Then we get into our Top 10 AEW wrestlers lists, and we keep it honest about bias. Orange Cassidy gets props for turning a laid-back gimmick into a legit act. We also get into how many of us track AEW through familiar names, from the Hurt Syndicate connections to veterans who reinvent themselves outside the WWE machine. From there, the arguments start: Andrade’s back-and-forth, what “loyalty” means in pro wrestling, and why some headlines and exits can change how fans rank a performer.
The biggest debate is booking, especially around Mercedes Moné and whether All In should’ve been used to elevate a rising star instead of reinforcing someone who’s already established. We also show love to AEW’s women’s division standouts like Britt Baker’s return energy and Tony Storm’s character work, then shift to the chaos-makers and centerpieces: Darby Allin’s risk-heavy style, Willow’s star potential, Swerve Strickland’s cultural impact, Will Ospreay’s ceiling, Kenny Omega’s complete package, and why MJF feels like the guy you build around.

Um thank you.
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:07.839
What's up, y'all?
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:08.800
What's going on?
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:15.199
Um, welcome to the latest episode of Respectfully, you're wrong.
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.679
You already know the vibes, it's your boy, Mr.
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:17.920
Man.
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.160
AKA say your name up on this pod.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.440
I might not with you to mock.
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:32.880
And that is the great, the awesome, the all-knowing when it comes to music and wrestling and some other stuff that I can't say on the spot.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.240
That's well, I'm gonna let him say his name.
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.000
The D E I White Guy.
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:40.960
Joe.
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:43.280
Joe is in the building.
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:44.240
I'm in the building.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.560
We thank y'all for listening to another, like I said, another episode of Respectfully Wrong.
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.799
Um, we we doing, we've been doing music.
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.759
We're doing the features, we haven't forgot about the features.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:04.799
We're gonna take a little break because there was a major wrestling event that just transpired that's not WWE related.
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.640
And we're gonna give AEW some time to shine.
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.000
We're gonna get him some credit, we're gonna get him some love.
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:17.200
So we're gonna give y'all our top 10 AEW wrestlers.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:25.439
Now, when we get to the end and we doing the unbiased list, I'm gonna lean heavily on Joe because Joe watched all in.
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.200
I just seen a bunch of puts on mine.
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.840
Because I was still moving and I don't know where my stuff is.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:33.760
At all.
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.519
If you've seen Quentin's stuff anywhere, please reach out.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.040
Send me DM, text message or doesn't matter.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:42.879
Yeah, please just let me know.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.319
And the crazy thing is, the stuff that's missing is stuff I brought in on one to trust by myself.
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.840
So I can't even blame like the people who helped me move, such as Joe himself.
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.439
Joe, I appreciate that, by the way.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.920
I'm still gonna give you some money, even though you tell me that.
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:56.239
Okay.
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:57.040
Anyway.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:57.599
Anyway.
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.760
But so I'm gonna do everything like my mom, you my mama do me.
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.000
She be trying to give me gas money and I don't take it.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:09.919
She, I'm just gonna get in the you just go get in a car or be in your house, and I'm gonna call you when I'm far, far away.
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.759
I'm gonna be like, hey, look up under it.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:15.759
I know you just gonna say yeah.
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.080
Yeah, that's what my mama does.
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:19.199
My mama doing all the time.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.039
Hey, look under your seat.
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.639
Uh look in your glove department.
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:25.759
Why can't you put money?
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.560
When did you even have time to put money in my glove department?
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.280
How do you unlock this car?
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.280
What are you doing, lady?
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:37.199
Anyway, so yeah, we're gonna give y'all our top 10 AEW wrestlers.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.080
Like I said, Joe was watching, uh, watched all in.
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.599
What did you think about it?
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:43.520
I loved it.
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.319
You know, I've seen I've seen the varying reviews from people.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.439
Some people said it was great, some people said it was absolute trash.
00:02:51.680 --> 00:03:03.599
I feel like depending on the style of wrestling you like, if you like something that leans more heavily into entertainment and that kind of thing, then probably wasn't your cup of tea.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:10.159
If you prefer leaning more into like wrestling and that kind of thing, yeah.
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.000
I think you would have enjoyed it.
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.360
Uh I thoroughly enjoyed it.
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:14.879
I thought it was great.
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.240
Yeah, you got the new level.
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:20.240
Yeah, the new level.
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.280
We've getting there.
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:30.879
Um, that's the thing with AEW, AEW is very it's very like technical wrestling, more so than your entertainment that WWE gives you.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:37.520
Don't get me wrong, they give you the funny moments too over AEW, but it's more it's more so your technical wrestling.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.560
So yeah, very much.
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.520
But I feel like I feel like Joe, you should store that south.
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:58.240
For one, because you you watched the show, and then two, you know more wrestling than I ever will know.
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:10.479
All right, so to start this off, I feel like I gotta give props to somebody who, as far as I know, has been with the company the entire time, man.
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:16.560
And he might not be the greatest technical wrestler or whatever have you, but Orange Cassidy, man.
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:22.000
The character, just the aura, charisma, what have you, man.
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.360
This guy's just he's great to watch.
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.040
And he's gotten so much better, his character progressed so much like over the years.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.959
Like you see so much more of it.
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.680
So he ain't just out here kicking people on his eye no more.
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:38.959
Nah, not anymore.
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.000
Like he actually does wrestle and yeah, he talks too.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.600
He talks.
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:46.639
Yeah.
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.079
I'm not saying he talks often, but you hear his voice.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:57.279
I don't think I've ever heard I'm gonna have to we'll get off the pot, I'm gonna have to go look it up because I don't think I've ever heard that man talk.
00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:58.240
I know.
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:06.879
Oh, we got the sunglasses on, hands in the pocket, just like really like laid back and chill.
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.000
Like he don't be making a lot of noise type stuff.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.360
Nah, like he don't take this seriously, it's just whatever.
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:14.800
Just vibing.
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.120
Yeah, um, I'm very much I'm just uh I'm just here so I don't get fine.
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.480
Like I was from March Holland.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:21.519
Right.
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.600
Very much so what his uh what his get down is.
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.000
Uh, so orange.
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:29.680
Cool.
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.680
My number 10.
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.079
Again, this is my list.
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.120
People's gonna judge me, but this is where we start now.
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.600
Because again, they're gonna judge us both for this whole thing.
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:40.480
Yeah, they are.
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:41.600
They are, they are.
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.519
Uh, my number 10 is the Hursty.
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:47.199
Yes.
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:55.920
I've been following Bobby Lashley, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin, and then uh MVP, even though I know he goes back so for name over there.
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:01.120
Uh for so for how for however long.
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:12.560
And the couple times I have like to clicked on and tuned in to AEW, I was watching her technically because because I have history for with them.
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:13.279
That's the thing.
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:24.720
A lot of the AEW stuff that I catch in the matches I catch comes from me, from WWE people that I have watched over the years or I have watched and then carried over there.
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:33.839
So I want to see what they do or how you know how they how they progress in that company over in AEW C.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.560
So Bobby Lashley is it's just like a whole different breed, man.
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.839
This guy has just kept getting more and more jacked the older he gets, you know.
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:52.879
Yeah, I so I I thought Baby Lashley was gonna go over there and win like a couple world titles.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:53.680
Right.
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.079
And uh that hasn't been the case.
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:17.680
I'm not saying that they're not booking him correctly, as just my way of thinking is like you got because that's I mean, basically that's why he left the MWE between that and you know, money, but he wasn't getting the booking, so I thought he was gonna go over there and get the booking that he had, you know, he deserves, or I think he you know had should achieve over this length of a career.
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.560
But I still, you know, like I said, personal bias.
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.360
I know when we do the real list, they're not gonna be on her.
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.120
But yeah, my number 10, the hers indicate.
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.160
My number nine is gonna be Andrade.
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:43.279
Ever since he's come back for this go-around, man, it's like his character work has improved so much.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.839
He's found a way to connect with fans.
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:57.439
He's I don't know if he's able to like you know if he's able to be himself more or what it is, but there's just something about his character that it just seems refresh.
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.959
And yeah, he's he's getting there.
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.480
Can I be Captain Hater for a moment?
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.759
Absolutely.
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:23.199
I thought of a drade, and a drade wasn't gonna make my list, and the reason a drade's not gonna make my list is because you left AEW once.
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.720
Stuff didn't go how you wanted.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.560
It then went back to WWE.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.240
It didn't go how you wanted at all.
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.399
At all, like worse than what AEW did.
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:48.960
And then now you back in AEW, like you done with like I I have you ever seen anybody else go leave, go to WWE and come back?
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.519
Not with AEW yet.
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:59.360
I think that I think that is a I have to check on that, but I feel like that is a first.
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:06.480
Yeah, I don't, and then like the whole the the way in which he left and all the stuff that went around it.
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:07.519
Yeah, nah, man.
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.039
I just I can't give Andrade a top 10.
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.840
Because then he got this whole the whole thing with the Usos right now.
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.639
Oh, I see, I'm not familiar with that.
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:27.840
Yeah, he made basically made some comments about the Uso and what Samoan wrestlers, and but you know how they get pushed or whatever the case may be.
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.519
And in my head, I'm flight.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.399
Oh, oh, uh, was this the thing about the Samoans?
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:35.440
Yeah.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:40.720
I just saw somebody had made a comment about Samoan wrestlers, and I didn't really pay attention to the headline.
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:42.159
So, oh, okay.
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:52.480
Yeah, matter of fact, let me pull it up because I want to make sure I quote him correctly.
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:13.120
It is well, it ain't pulling up up as fast as I would like it to.
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.480
But yeah, I would get it up.
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:20.559
Um, so yeah, nah, a draw day could not I couldn't break a draw day.
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:25.200
But so my number nine.
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.080
Mercedes Monet.
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:36.000
Hey.
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:44.720
My only reason she's so low is because of that whole world champion, the whole she carried so many bells at one time situation.
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:49.200
I feel like they overly booked her and they pushed her too too hard.
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.960
I feel like I know wrestling is gimmicks, I get it, but I feel like that was like an extreme gimmick.
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.159
And they they pushed it to the limits, they pushed it too far.
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.519
And then I also don't think she should have won at all in.
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.879
I think she should have lost that match.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:11.600
Yeah, I didn't understand.
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.039
I didn't understand it.
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.200
Yeah, it's it's bad booking.
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:19.519
Like it's a it's a big, it's a big pay-per-view.
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:28.080
You get it's y'all biggest pay-per-view, y'all selling out Wimberley, and y'all had somebody go over that's already over.
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.279
As a word, y'all building a future star that's like homegrown talent.
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:35.919
You know what I'm saying?
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.960
I feel like they should have, I feel like Willow's.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:54.000
Yeah, like every other match, it felt like the end result was almost I want to say expected, but in a way, yeah, like it happened the way that it should.
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.279
But that one is like, no, y'all.
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:06.559
Like, I get it, Mercedes Monet, but like you just said, you know, she's already over, she already has that status, she's already achieved so much.
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:14.000
You have another person over here that's gaining momentum, has a huge fan base, you know, is really over with the people.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:22.399
Here's your opportunity to really kick that in the high gear, and for whatever reason, no.
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.759
You know, they decided not to do that.
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.840
And I I just feel like I was bad booking.
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.279
And yeah, that's why she's number nine for those reasons only.
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:36.480
She, if that pay-per-view had gone differently, she probably would have been hyper.
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.559
But yeah, my number nine is Mercedes Monday.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:43.279
All right, all right.
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.200
Um, my number eight is gonna be sky blue.
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.879
And I'm gonna be very honest with you.
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.320
I have not sat and watched a full sky blue match yet.
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:17.679
Um, I've seen plenty of clips of this girl is willing to sacrifice herself and do whatever to win, and you know, like you think back on like wrestler, like cactus jack, you know, all these other bloody wars and stuff, she's right out there with them.
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:24.879
She's just yeah, she's got the women out here going hardcore.
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.200
No, okay, sky blue.
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:31.440
Okay, I thought look, I had to go look up and was like, ah, yeah, I done seen her.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:32.879
Yeah, I done seen clips of her.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.960
I done seen a lot of I done seen a lot of clips of her.
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:35.919
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:36.799
Yeah.
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.399
Oh where are we at?
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.279
Number eight.
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.919
My number eight is going to be Dr.
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.440
Britt Baker.
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:55.360
Imagine.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.559
She ain't, she ain't, she's been away for two years.
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.360
But I just I don't know.
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:18.240
I feel like she was like the face of a of the AW women's wrestling when she was there, and she carried it in very uh a wonderful way.
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.000
And she gave it like legitimacy.
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:28.559
If you know, not not knocking on the other women's wrestlers, but she also she gave the legitimacy in that time.
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.399
And I just like I just like her persona.
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.600
I like the way she carried herself, I like the way she came out in the view.
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.679
She came back at the two after two years.
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.639
You need those pops, you need those surprises.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.360
So yeah, I'm going with I'm going with Rafa.
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.279
That's my number eight.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.519
She was on my list for a little while.
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.559
The only reason, like what you just said with her being out for so long.
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.159
I was like, I don't know if I put her on there just yet.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.639
Like, you just hit it all in, and she she was like the face of the women's division in that company.
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:04.000
Every time she was there, and even now you saw it all in, like the energy that she brings.
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.279
Yep.
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:10.000
Yes, it's she has that, she has that impact, you know.
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:21.279
Like you just when she's there, you feel her presence, and you know that's kind of you know, that brings money, it draws in people, you know, numbers, yada yada.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.360
So yeah.
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.399
But I was just like, yeah, she's been out for two years.
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.519
Yeah, no, I think I'm going I'm going with Brent Baker.
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:31.840
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.039
Yeah, that's my number eight.
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.960
Number seven is gonna be Tony Storm.
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:44.639
I thought of her.
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:49.200
I really did think of her, but I I did she didn't make the list.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.559
I haven't heard anything on her in a little while.
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.720
Like, I don't know if she didn't check up on her.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.799
Is she out with an injury or something?
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:02.240
But now her promos, her character work, everything she's done.
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.000
Oh god, she's amazing.
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.200
Like her wrestling skills, same.
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:20.480
But my gosh, she can just captivate me when she gets up there and talks, and not a lot of people can do that, so pops to her.
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:27.039
And she was able to get, she was able to get over in AEW.
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:33.840
That's where she struggled to get over in WWE, and they gave her so WWE.
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:40.639
I don't know if it was WWE or if it's the fans just didn't catch her, maybe I don't I don't think it was her.
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.559
I just think I don't she got the AEW and she got over.
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:50.320
And all of her did the timeless and all of that, all the things she was doing was working.
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.799
She got the AEW and everything worked.
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.600
Nothing worked in WWE for whatever reason.
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.559
It didn't work, but she got over there and she killed it.
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:00.799
Yeah, absolutely.
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.480
It should be great.
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:03.840
Okay, cool.
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.519
I'm gonna cheat a little bit.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.359
Only because they are currently they they detect each Japanese.
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:13.839
So I feel like I should be able to put them together.
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:19.599
So with that being said, hey, my number seven is Adam Copeland and Kristen Gage.
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:23.039
Yes.
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.480
Wait, dude, that uh I'm sorry.
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.160
That that tag match, I'm sorry.
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.119
Go ahead.
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.519
No, talk to me about the tag match.
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:38.240
Bro, them and the young bucks together, man, they just put on a hell of a show.
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:45.759
And when I saw that they just announced the uh TLC match with them, the Young Bucks, and I believe it's FTR.
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:47.279
Yeah, FTR, yep.
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.680
Yeah, I was like, great, man.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.279
Y'all about to have me out spending another$40 to watch another show.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:59.680
Because I know that all three of those teams are just gonna go in there and do something.
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.599
I think that's gonna be a great because they even got uh they got Moxley versus uh Oxford.
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.640
Yes, so yes for the worst item.
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:36.559
So it's like, yeah, you know, it AEW put on a great audience and they're capitalizing on it, and you they're using they're using the names that everybody knows and mixing in the uh the names that we need to know or the names that need that help AEW uh get, I almost say get started, but they're a homegrown talent.
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.720
Yeah, you gotta capitalize on momentum, and that's what AEW is doing.
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:46.319
And you get, you know, you everybody knows who Adam Copeland is.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.680
We're gonna keep calling him Adam Copeland here because that's we talked about AEW.
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.079
We're gonna say Christian Cash, you know what I'm saying?
00:18:52.319 --> 00:19:03.519
So you get those two in a like you said, a great tag team match versus the young bucks, and then you just run it back with the triple thread to carry on the momentum.
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:09.680
Um, and then you get Adam Copeland saying he's gonna retire in AEW, so he's not going nowhere else.
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:11.119
I'm going to be here.
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.279
This is where I want to be.
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.039
That makes sense.
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.160
And then we all we know their history, how great both of them are.
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.000
We know Christian Cage, he had a great run in TNA.
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.480
So yeah, that's my number seven.
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:26.960
Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:35.599
Cage came over to AEW and really he took the momentum that he gained and the confidence he gained in TNA.
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.079
He just grew with that.
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:47.519
Like to be in I I never looked at Christian Cage and thought there's a guy who can stand by himself and really be some, you know what I'm saying?
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:48.880
Like be that guy.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.680
Even when he was in TNA, he was he was that guy.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:58.480
I still looked at him kind of like, eh, uh, but when he got over to AEW, that man just done something.
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.720
Like he just kept going and kept going until you were like, Yeah, you are.
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.839
Yeah, no, he um he he has the mic skills.
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:22.319
I think that's probably the I know a lot of people talk about how great it is, but that's his best skill, is he Chris Gage get on that mic, and he can make everything work.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:25.279
And he yeah.
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.279
Shout out to Chris Gage.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.880
Yes, let me ask you a question real quick.
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.240
Okay, go ahead.
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:35.920
You think he makes the WWE Hall of Fame when he's done?
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.240
Because we know Adam Coke is.
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:45.920
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.960
I don't think he makes it on his own.
00:20:49.359 --> 00:21:03.039
Because if you look at like wrestlers from the past who deserve to be on their hall of fame and still aren't there yet, it doesn't look like Christian in the foreseeable future would make the Hall of Fame on his own.
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.200
Now, yeah, of course, Edge of Christian is attacking without a doubt.
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.079
Do you think so?
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:16.400
Let's say Adam Kaufman retires, let's say next year, right?
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.480
20 third 2027.
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:26.240
Do you think at any at what point do you think WWE makes that call and say, hey, we put you in the Hall of Fame?
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:35.119
I would say whatever his contractual obligations the AUW were to be fulfilled.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.000
Okay.
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:36.960
Yeah.
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.400
Do you think Adam Copeland takes that call?
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:59.680
Because you know, it's just a retirement, so I mean they I'm sure they're gonna give him some type of money, but I'm saying, like, what what kind of uh money are we talking here to come in and uh get
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.160
Up there, except this Marine here, what all else y'all want to throw at him.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.799
Because I feel like WWE, I feel like, let me just say, let me refer.
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:14.319
I feel like Triple H would be a he retired from over there, the contract is up.
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.200
Why don't you come on over here and let us put you in the house?
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.279
I feel like Triple H would do it kind of soon.
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:26.000
I just feel like Adam might be like, yeah, let's wait a couple years.
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:26.960
Yeah.
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.319
Just because this is where I was at, and I said I was gonna retire here.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:39.599
I don't want to, as soon as I retire, go WrestleMania weekend, and you know what I'm saying, they got me presenting me at WrestleMania.
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:47.440
And I was thinking, I mean, like, you could almost look at uh Brian Danielson, Daniel Bryan, whatever you want to call him in that situation.
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:56.400
Like, because by all means he's retired, you know, he's commentary and things like that, but they're not a rush to put him in any hall of fame.
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.960
Is he a hall of famer though?
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:02.799
You know what, man?
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.000
That's a great that's that's a discussion for a whole nother show.
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:06.799
Okay, cool.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:12.880
Like, I think I think he would be to a degree, but almost more in an independent state.
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:16.960
He had he had that flickering moment, yeah.
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.200
Like he had that bright burst in WWE.
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:21.920
Mm-hmm.
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.319
But it was a short bright burst, I guess.
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:27.279
Yep.
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.920
That's why I was like, I don't know if I don't so let me refer.
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:32.720
Let me see.
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:41.039
I think he it's one of those, like he'll eventually get in, but and like in NFL, you know, NBA, they talk about like first ballot hall of fame.
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:50.400
Like as soon as you do they put you in, and I don't think he's like first ballot, I don't think he's second ballot type hall of fame.
00:23:50.480 --> 00:24:00.160
Imagine I know WWE is different, it's not a like a vote system, they just pick up, but still, I don't think he's like the hey, we need you in here, like as it were.
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:06.240
Adam Copeland, I think he is, he's uh yeah, as soon as you're done, come on up, you know.
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:07.119
I'm saying come back over.
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.119
Yeah, I yeah, I agree with what you're saying there, definitely.
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:26.000
Adam Copeland, he had such a longer run from the attitude era up till I don't even know it's like 2020 something.
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:39.039
Yeah, the impact he had too, so yeah, yeah, like in so many different ways, you know, with with the brood, and then with the Christian, and then you know, Lita, and so on and so forth.
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:41.839
It's like he really, yeah.
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:46.160
Yeah, no, so yeah, no, but uh yeah, Adam, that was a massive.
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:47.599
It's your turn, sir.
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:53.680
All right, so number six for me, Kyle Fletcher.
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:16.720
I haven't seen a lot of his matches that you know, like when I try to watch uh episodes of Dynamite, I try to catch them on HBO Max, and I've seen a few of his, and then when I've seen him at all in his character work, his skills in the ring, I'm like, that's a guy to watch.
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:28.400
Like he's already, you know, as far as like Japanese wrestling, like you know, independent or worldwide, just he's known.
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:34.480
But I feel like he's gonna be a bigger star in the coming years.
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.160
Okay, calf.
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:46.640
Uh remember him from his group in uh NXT with uh Damn, now I can't think of his name.
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.440
Adam.
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:51.279
Uh Adam Cole, are you?
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:52.640
Thank you.
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:54.880
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:56.960
They was in, oh shoot.
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.359
Oh I can't think of the name of the group.
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:04.079
Wait a minute.
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:06.880
No, I think I'm getting Kyle Fletcher confused.
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:08.240
My bad, wrong person.
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:13.039
Yeah, I think I'm getting I'm getting him confused.
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:13.759
I had to go look.
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:14.480
See what I'm talking about?
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.599
That's why I say we're gonna have to leave.
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.680
We're gonna have to lean on because it's I was just over here like, was he in NXT?
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.039
I mean, I didn't follow NXT for a long time, so it's small news to me.
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:31.279
Yeah, no, I was like, damn Quit and teach me.
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:36.240
That's why I said I had to I'm getting I've got my uh I got my people confused.
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:36.960
That's my bad.
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.839
That's why I said I'm gonna have to lean on Joe because Joe know more AEW than I do.
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:44.400
Like I said, I catch glimpses here and there.
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:47.599
Um so I'm gonna go to my number six.
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.440
My number six is Darby Allen.
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:52.960
Yes.
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:55.920
We talked about we talked about wholecore wrestling.
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:01.920
Of course, I I was introduced to Darby Allen through my love of Sting.
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.079
So I seen a lot of the stuff he did with Sting.
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:11.279
I saw, you know, Sting climbing up the ladder and his friends, you know, his son climbing up the ladder.
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:11.920
Yeah.
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.200
Sting was like his son looks so much like him, too.
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:15.920
That's crazy.
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.920
Yeah, like this is your moment.
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.039
But yeah, I was introduced to Darby Allen from Sting.
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.839
He does all the crazy stunts that people love to see.
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:28.400
He is like the current day ECW wrestler.
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:31.519
I'm glad they gave him a title run.
00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:48.960
Because I didn't know if he was ever gonna be like world champion of AEW type material, or that was I was gonna keep him in that upper mid-core or keep him in these great feuds or whatever, that sells tickets, but not necessarily be the man or put the big put the title on him.
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.920
But yeah, yeah, but I'm glad they eventually did do that.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.920
So yeah, Maz is Darby Allen.
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:03.119
And Darby, you know, the crazy thing about it, like shocked by him being a modern-day ECW wrestler, because all the crazy stunts he does.
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:08.880
If you look at his life outside of wrestling, he's just as crazy.
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.000
Like climbing Mount Everest and doing stuff like that.
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:17.440
It's like this guy is a thrill seeker through and through.
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:28.319
And he uh it was the Undisputed Era, it was Adam Cole, it was Cal O'Reilly.
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.880
That's why I there you go, there you go.
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:36.079
I'm like, it's a cat, it was a cow in undisputed error era, but I was like, I got that wrong.
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.799
So yeah, Cal O'Reilly, my bad.
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:43.759
Okay, who is also he's in AEW.
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:46.160
Yeah.
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.400
But my bad.
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.519
Yes, sir, Joe.
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:50.400
Sorry about that.
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:56.960
You could uh number five for me is gonna be Mercedes Monet.
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.759
Maybe a little bit higher on my list.
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.759
Um I'm glad to see her.
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:09.759
This is gonna sound strange.
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:20.079
I'm glad to see that she lost all those titles because I feel like you know that kind of adds a little bit more to her character in a way.
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:23.119
The fact that she lost them all.
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:33.119
Uh I'm not happy that she won the title at all, and I don't feel like she needed that.
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:44.000
I feel like there's other things that she can do, and her presence can be felt and utilized, like her talents, her, you know, her name, her brand, what have you.
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.880
It can be utilized without having her carrying a title.
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:49.359
Yep.
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:51.440
Yes.
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:56.079
Like I said, I agree.
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:03.680
I'm just gonna say she don't need to be established, she's already established.
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:08.880
I think, like you said, that's the only thing I feel like they got wrong after all in.
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:17.519
Everything else, all they other, all they other victories, and all their other winners was great choices.
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:20.160
Uh my next one up is John Boxer.
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:24.880
I know him.
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:32.319
I know he's uh he with him challenging for the world the uh the world title at the next pay-per-view.
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:32.880
Uh-huh.
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:36.960
He he saved the guy and he was like, yo, you know what I'm saying?
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:38.480
Your next challenger is me.
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.559
I want you real Osper.
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.720
I I want you yo, you know, to be good shape when I'm when I'm coming.
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:52.400
So yeah, but now uh John Moxley has proven that maybe okay.
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:59.359
Let me, I was about to say carry a company, but not not necessarily carry a company, but be one of the pillars of a company.
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:02.880
Because it was questions about that when he was in WWE.
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.440
He was looked at as the third member of the shield.
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.960
Yes, he was looked at as the other one, the lesbian of the yes, exactly.
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:28.079
He John Moxley went to AEW and shown that no, I could be the guy, I can be one of the top guys, I can be a pillar, I can be someone that not that um lifts the company and also lifts the talent around me.
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:34.480
And I think that's important for a pillar of your company or a top guy in your company.
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:45.519
Not only can you build yourself up and you know sell the matches, but can you also make the people you're born against in the talent around you look like they deserve to be there too?
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:46.319
So yeah.
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.640
John Moxley.
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.319
Definitely.
00:31:50.640 --> 00:32:00.960
John Moxley has he really came into AEW, like you said, and he proved that everything everybody thought was was not true at all.
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:14.240
You know, everybody just kind of looked at him like you're the C list of this whole thing, you're you're number three out of three, and he had an agenda to be like, no, I'm gonna show y'all what I really can do.
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:15.680
And he did it.
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:17.680
Absolutely did.
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.240
My number four, Darby Allen.
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:28.319
Makes sense.
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.960
Darby, my god, Darby.
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:48.480
Every anytime I see that he's gonna be on a show, I know that I'm gonna see some type of stunt that's gonna make me just question this man, question this company, and then at the same time be like, all right, how did they pull this off safely?
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:51.279
Or at least safe enough.
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:52.559
I don't want to say safely.
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:56.880
Sometimes I see some stuff that I still have to wonder, you know.
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:03.279
Like I'm like, I feel like if he had sneezed or something, that man would have been paralyzed.
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:09.519
Bro, some of those things that look like close calls, and I'm just like, bro, what are you doing?
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:10.799
Why do you do this?
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.839
Yeah, man.
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:12.960
Like, what are you doing?
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.920
Why are you man, why are you doing this to yourself?
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:31.599
Yeah, like at all in, you know, he climbed up on top of uh something on the stage and just did the coffin drop off of it on this onto somebody laying on the stage, and it's like, bro, you had hang time there for a while.
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:34.720
Like we watched you in the air for a good moment.
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.680
You think it asked maybe why he didn't get the world title run sooner?
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.960
Because of all the stunts?
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:49.680
Because you can't even book.
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:54.240
Yeah, it's kind of hard to book a champion that's gonna be hurt.
00:33:55.039 --> 00:34:00.160
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to book a champion that's gonna be hurt.
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:14.159
And then, you know, like you're trying to get them to defend it, knowing that every time that they go out there and defend it, because of what this person is known for, it's almost like it's it's not like he can go out there and just do a normal match at this point.
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:18.320
I feel like when he goes out there, people are like, This is what I expect to see.
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:20.239
This is what you have to give him.
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:28.079
And yeah, like that's a huge risk to put a title on somebody like that because you don't know the next one.
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:38.400
That's what I say, especially when it comes to pay-per-views, because like you could do a regular match on TV, but on the pay-per-view, you know, you're gonna have to deliver what we're used to because that's what people's paying for.
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:40.400
And it's kind of hard to do that with a title.
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.199
Um, so it's my number four, right?
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:44.480
We on four, right?
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:45.679
Yes, sir.
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:47.119
Okay, cool.
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:49.920
Willow is my number four.
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:52.960
Is that surprising?
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:53.920
No, no.
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:55.519
I was wondering when she was gonna.
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:57.920
I was actually wondering when she was gonna pop up in there.
00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:59.519
I like I know Willow's on his list.
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:08.719
Yeah, when we was ranking future sparks, Willow was, I think she was in my top three or top five when we was ranking future sponsors in general.
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:25.840
So, yeah, nah, I mean, I like I said before, I think she has the look, I think she has the charisma, I think she also has the in-ring talent to become what I what I think Grip Breaker is and be a pillar of the women's women's division.
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:27.519
Absolutely.
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.039
I think she has everything in the potential to do it.
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:40.880
Maybe this this lawsuit to Mercedes Monet builds into a storyline that you know she has to do the, you know, I have to overcome again.
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:42.400
They doubted me out.
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.280
This is Goliath, this is the legend, cool.
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:46.719
I'm gonna have to go at her again.
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.679
Maybe that's what they're doing, maybe that's what they're planning, but we shall see.
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:51.119
But yeah, my number four is real.
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:55.840
You know it was coming.
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:56.719
I knew it.
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:58.719
I was wondering if it was gonna be the top three.
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:00.639
Nah, she didn't make the top three.
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:03.440
So we both we both in our top three.
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:04.559
Yes.
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:11.760
And I wonder if we have the same three, and they're just maybe in different.
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:13.440
I don't know.
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.840
I don't I well, there is one that I haven't mentioned that you haven't either.
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:19.039
I'm wondering if they're in yours.
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:19.840
We'll see we'll see.
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.480
I don't I don't think we're I don't think we have the same top three.
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.440
I think we do have we have something in common.
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.159
I will say that.
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:27.199
I think we get something in common.
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.480
I just want to see where they cleaned it.
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:29.920
Yeah.
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.960
All right.
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:32.960
Number three, MJF.
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.159
Okay, I was wondering where he was gonna pop on your list.
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:37.280
Oh, yeah, dude.
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:45.199
I mean, look, if you're trying to sell tickets, you want somebody out there who can talk and wrestle their ass off.
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:46.559
You got in jail.
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:53.519
That man is the character, but you know, he's something WWE would dream about having.
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:54.719
Yep.
00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:01.519
Tony knows that, so you know, they're gonna pay him because they they know that they have a star on their house right there.
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:04.719
He's it, he's the guy.
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:06.320
Uh yeah.
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:10.079
I ain't gonna say too much because you know he's coming up on my list as well.
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.519
Uh so I'm just gonna roll into my number three.
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:16.320
Whose house?
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:18.000
Swerve's house.
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:18.719
My number three.
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:21.119
That's the one I thought you would have, yes.
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:22.880
My number three, Swartz tricklin.
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:26.559
I think I think he's one of the guys.
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:31.519
I don't think he's like he might, he ain't the top guy because we know that's MJF.
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:33.360
But Swartz Strickland's right there.
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:36.639
And he he's shown that time and time again.
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:37.119
Oh, yeah.
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.320
Stuff he did with uh hangman page.
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:42.159
Oh my god.
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.360
The story that they told.
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:48.880
Man, they burned that man's house, childhood.
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:50.880
I was gonna say that house.
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.760
That house got burnt down.
00:37:56.079 --> 00:38:05.840
The performances that they them two put on, and not only Hey Man Adam Page, the other performances that he put on, he has been an AEW champion.
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:12.320
He is now currently an AEW trio champion, a a yo aw trio champion.
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:15.760
Swerve Striplins, Sir Strickland, somebody you can build on.
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:21.599
He is the person who, let's be real, he goes to the breakfast clubs, he goes to the urban radio stations.
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:23.280
AEW has that.
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.960
WWE doesn't have the black person make a point to.
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.880
They just don't, I'm just being honest, they just don't.
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.679
Everybody that you would think, they also go on.
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.440
The only person that you can lean towards a little bit is Jacob.
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:39.360
You know what I mean?
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:41.199
Hello, Fatu.
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:42.480
You know what I'm saying?
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:48.320
Royce, Royce Hobbes, he's getting there, but he ain't he's definitely not, he's not there yet.
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:49.360
He's definitely not there yet.
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:51.519
I don't know if he will be because of the way they book.
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:53.920
So yeah, Charge Strickland is somebody you can see.
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:56.719
People are going to buy take this because of Swartz Strickland.
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:58.000
So yeah.
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:15.039
I thought about that house burning down like the whole time I'm making my will, so I'm just like what I put sweater man, I just don't know.
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:19.599
Yeah, oh gosh.
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:21.760
All right, number two.
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:23.840
Well, Osborne.
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:26.000
Okay.
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:27.920
Man.
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.400
You know, I've been seeing him for a while now.
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:42.320
He's just gotten so much better.
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.920
And you can tell he's growing into himself like over the years.
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:54.559
He's really he's really becoming comfortable getting in his own comos and you know his character and everything.
00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:58.639
Yeah, I'm excited to see where he goes.
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.239
Hopefully, he doesn't injure himself again after retirement.
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.280
Now don't choose number two.
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:08.559
Okay, yeah.
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:11.920
I'm saying now I'm just running through my brain.
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:13.840
Okay, who chose number one?
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:19.440
But before we get there, but I'm choosing JS.
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:23.280
There you go, he's the guy.
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:24.639
It's just it.
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:29.199
He sells the tickets, he has the face, he has the look, he has the attitude, he has everything.
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:31.679
Like you said, WWE would get him popped out.
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:35.519
They would pay him Steph Rollins money right now if they could.
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:40.320
Because they already know he's gonna do it, he's gonna be able to do what he wants.
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:42.559
And I like the fact that he didn't leave.
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:47.599
When he had the opportunity to leave, they made a storyline out of it, and he stayed in AEW.
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:51.840
I don't have to go there to be great.
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.239
I got people coming here to watch me.
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:59.440
I'm bringing people to the TV, I'm bringing people to the pay-per-views.
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:05.599
MJF, like I don't, I don't MJF is I I like people who have that attitude, attitude.
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:06.960
I don't need you.
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:08.559
You need me.
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:10.000
You need me, yes.
00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:16.480
Yeah, I'm gonna show you my word and I'm gonna show you what I can do without you, your machine, and all that.
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:18.159
I I can build this.
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:21.119
He's a yeah, let's think about it.
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:25.679
He's one, he's a top wrestler, and without the WWE machine.
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:29.039
And AEW doesn't have the WWE machine, let's just be real.
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.000
No, he's a top guy.
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:38.880
Yo, so yeah, my number two's A, my number two MJF, without question.
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:41.599
And when we do our unbiased, I mean MJF is number one.
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:43.760
We can just go ahead and get that out the way, right?
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:44.639
We know that.
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:45.679
Like, you know what I mean?
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:47.519
He's he is the guy.
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.519
So yeah, yeah, my number two.
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:51.360
So I'm now now I get this.
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:52.960
Joe, what is your number one?
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:57.599
Kenny Omega.
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:04.480
I didn't know if it was gonna be him or it was gonna be him, the young bucks, and they group, or whatever it was gonna be.
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:10.000
I knew Kenny Omega was somewhere in the top three.
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:14.000
So once we went through the top two, I'm like, is he gonna throw me a swerve?
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:15.679
Like it knocked me.
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:16.960
So yeah.
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:22.960
Those promos and like the build-up that him and Osprey done.
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:32.480
Oh my god, that guy plays just cocky ass, arrogant, just not.
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:38.639
That's he just you look at him and you hear him talk, you're like, This this son of a bitch, man.
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:42.239
And that's what you need out of your people.
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.679
Like, you need somebody that pulls emotions out of people.
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:53.519
Like, and he does it, like he has this look on his face, you know, like he the whole shebang.
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.519
Like, without opening his mouth, you can just read his facial expressions.
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:02.079
You know, like the next thing that comes out of his mouth is gonna make me want to punch him through a TV script.
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:02.880
Yep.
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:09.519
And that is what sells tickets, that is what gets people invested in the shows.
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:16.400
And you know, he's an amazing wrestler.
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:18.480
That doesn't even have to be said.
00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:24.480
Like the things he does, the show he puts on every time he gets in the ring is just ridiculous.
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:40.320
I was not aware of how damn good he was on the microphone until I started going back and watching the build-up to all in, and I started paying more attention to his to his uh interviews and the one with him and Osprey sitting down with Renee Piquette.
00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:59.360
And then I started going back and watching more of his stuff on YouTube, and I was like, this guy just yeah, I got you know, um, so I want to say he didn't make my list.
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:03.840
Didn't make my list.
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:12.320
I know like when we do the top 10, like Kenny O'Makes probably, he's number two, right?
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:13.920
When you put him number two.
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:15.840
That's fine.
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.000
So yeah, uh you wanna know who my number one is, Jeff.
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:23.440
Go ahead.
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:24.800
I think you know.
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:29.760
If you think I have an idea I have an idea, but just go ahead and tell me.
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:31.119
Think about it for a second.
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:31.760
You know.
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:34.480
Yeah.
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.159
I'm on a new level.
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:41.440
I don't care that they've only been there a week.
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:42.960
That's my number one.
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.480
Don't care that they've been a number, they've only been there for a week.
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.480
They've also been champions a week too now.
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:53.920
Yeah, they've been a championship.
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:55.760
They got there and they put stuff on.
00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:56.880
What are we talking about?
00:44:57.519 --> 00:44:58.960
I'm on a new level.
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.079
I was lit, I was riding in a car on my way to E town.
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:10.000
And the fact so I the thing I was always wondering about was like, what what name are they gonna take?
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:12.239
You know, because obviously they couldn't be the new data.
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:18.000
So it's like what are they just gonna come out with like you know, Austin Creed and Kofi, or like what would they do?
00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:21.840
And when they came out and the music was playing, I'm on a new level.
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:25.599
I'm on a new I was like, oh god, dude, this is pew.
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:30.320
Yes.
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:32.000
Classic.
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:34.159
I don't care that they've only been there for a week.
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:36.320
My number one is my list, damn it.
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:38.480
Yes, yes, yes.
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:41.039
You know the crazy thing is I had them lower.
00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:43.679
Then I was like, it's my list.
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:44.400
Let's be real.
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:47.920
Yeah, number one, new level.
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:52.639
Because we all trying to, you know, we all aspire to be on new levels.
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:56.559
Then they came in with swerve, which is my come on, man.
00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:57.599
What are we talking about?
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:02.639
Oh yeah, my number one is new level.
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:10.559
That reaction they got at that show was was great.
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:18.000
Which we knew it was coming when he was first winning the uh the match, and it was like mystery partners.
00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:39.920
Okay, we knew who it was, but still the reaction that they them two got shows you that WWE messed up, and then they came out with the belts and uh in the rain with uh coping page, the bucks FPR, coping page, the bucks, uh new level.
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.679
I don't remember if there's anybody else in there.
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:44.880
The um machine gun.
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:46.079
Machine gun, thank you.
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:47.679
Yeah, mostly machine guns.
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:51.360
I don't know if that's what I mean in AWB, pretty sure it is.
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:51.920
Okay, cool.
00:46:52.320 --> 00:47:01.760
Because I know they carried it from TNA to WWE, but yeah, all of them came in and they came in so they came in so five with so much swagger, because that's what they do.
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:03.599
Put some respect on their names, WWE.
00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:05.679
That's why you stop you.
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:27.440
Like to people who moved merch, the way them two moved merch, and then the way the the Sunsteck the way the new day bootyos come on now.
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.159
Come on, what are we talking about?
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.000
You wanna ask them to get a percent?
00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:34.800
Yeah, so yeah, no.
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:40.320
I also thought I also heard through very van famous is supposed to be the debuting.
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:42.239
So that's what's up, y'all.
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:42.880
Don't want time.
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:45.599
Okay, cool.
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:48.320
We're gonna move on.
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:49.360
Yeah.
00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:52.400
When Joe says he won't talk about something, we're just not gonna talk about it.
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:53.760
So, because Joe don't do that.
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:54.719
All right, cool.
00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:56.960
So, number one, MJF.
00:47:57.760 --> 00:47:58.559
MJF.
00:47:58.960 --> 00:47:59.679
Alright, cool.
00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:01.599
Number two, Kenny Omega.
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:03.599
Kenny Omega.
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:05.360
Okay.
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:10.559
I'm gonna say this.
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:11.840
Or strictly.
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:14.320
I don't think he's number three.
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:15.920
What?
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:26.400
If we being unbiased and we talking about the not, I don't I'm also looking at this as not only the top wrestlers, but who's the most important of AEW?
00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:28.559
I feel like we gotta put the young books at three.
00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:40.000
I don't think we could do an AEW list without putting the young bucks without the people who helped found the AEW.
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:41.440
Yeah, you know what I mean.
00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:43.679
I feel like we have to put them there.
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:46.639
I think so.
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:49.199
I'm going through okay, Young Bucks.
00:48:49.599 --> 00:49:01.840
Now, my question, I think Swerve is for, but also I know Will Oxford is out there, but I think Swerve would be for because again, I know he had history with WWE, but he really is homegrown town.
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:03.920
No, you're right.
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:05.039
Swerve.
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:28.239
I don't even think about like there's some of these guys that I don't even consider their WWE past because it's almost like wasn't they just didn't do anything there to warrant you considering even thinking about yeah no, I think I think Swerve is full.
00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:29.840
So now we come into five.
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:35.039
I got a bunch of names, and I'm gonna throw them all out there to you, tell me what you think.
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:42.639
I got Mercedes Monet, but I also got Brent Breaker, I got Will Ospreay, I also got Darby Allen.
00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:49.920
I'm gonna go with Brent.
00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:52.800
John Moxley, too, could be up to John.
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:54.320
See, that's ah gosh, yeah.
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:55.440
John Moxley.
00:49:57.199 --> 00:50:02.719
All of those names, I feel like those are the names just next on the list, but I just don't know what word.
00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:04.000
Yeah.
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:08.480
I think John goes next.
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:10.159
Okay, John Moxley.
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:23.360
Alright, so now we at six Brit Baker, Mercedes.
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:28.719
We got uh Darby Yeah.
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:37.679
I'm I'm leaning towards Brit Baker at six.
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:38.480
I have two.
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:42.000
I have two is the original, like one of the.
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:44.400
I'm saying you gotta show love to the women's division.
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:53.599
The women's division there was literally not just her, but you know, she carried that.
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:55.679
Okay, so now we have seven.
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:57.679
I think this is where we put Darby Allah.
00:50:58.400 --> 00:50:59.840
Yeah, yeah.
00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:04.960
All right, so now we have eight.
00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:07.440
We got eight, nine, and ten.
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.519
We got like I said, we got Mercedes Monet.
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:17.840
We got we got Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:31.119
But, you know, Daniel, uh Daniel.
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:36.159
Yeah, but he's retired now, so I don't really feel like we should have to, you know, include him.
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:36.800
No.
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:39.039
No.
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:44.159
And because Jericho's old, so I don't feel like we should put him in the top 10 either.
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:45.519
What did you just say?
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:47.679
Jericho's old, so I don't think he should be in the top 10.
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:48.719
Because Jericho's old.
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:49.199
Hello.
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:51.760
I don't think he should be in the top 10 either.
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:55.360
So no, uh we ain't forget about them people.
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:57.679
We just saying they shouldn't be on the list.
00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:01.760
So yeah, uh we at eight.
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:05.920
Oh.
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:09.840
I'm gonna have wait.
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:11.199
Oh no, I'm sorry.
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:12.559
I'm already trying to fix that.
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:15.599
Part of my phone before it dies on me while I'm doing this.
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:16.320
Okay, cool.
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:19.119
Let's go and get these eight, nine, and ten out the white bed.
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:22.480
Uh uh, I gotta plugged in.
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:27.760
Now, uh I feel like maybe Mercedes is gonna Okay.
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:29.679
Mercedes my name.
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:31.039
So nine and ten.
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:41.360
Uh nine and ten.
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:46.480
Is there any oh hang Adam Hagman page?
00:52:50.639 --> 00:52:52.880
Yeah, we should probably mention him on there.
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:54.000
You know what I mean?
00:52:54.960 --> 00:53:06.239
I feel bad that we're just gonna like you know randomly include him in like number nine or something, but I don't I don't follow him enough aside from what he did with Swerve to know much about him.
00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:10.000
But I know he's like he was a guy over there.
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:15.519
Yeah, I know that what him and Swerve did was incredible, you know.
00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:19.599
They're stabbing each other with freaking needles, man.
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:21.360
What are we doing?
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:25.920
So we got one spot left at number 10.
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:37.119
What uh I gotta feel like it's gotta be orange.
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:38.480
Oh, okay.
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:39.920
You I you're right.
00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:41.199
Yeah.
00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:46.960
Orange is just gonna be one of those guys who's he always earns a spot in my heart.
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:58.480
Definitely only number one, but Willow, I just want to point out it was uh it was Joe that didn't put you on the list.
00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:00.159
So yeah, orange Cassidy.
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:04.239

00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:06.079
Yeah, Orange Cassidy.
00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:08.639
All right, so I top 10.
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:28.159
Unbiased, MJF, Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Swerve Strickland, John Moxley coming in at five, uh, Brent Breaker, Darby Allen at seven, Mercedes Monet at eight, Adam Hay, Man Page at nine, and Orange Catsby at 10.
00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:30.480
So, like we did, I think.
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:32.000
Yeah.
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:33.440
Always.
00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:35.360
I was very sad, but that's always.
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:39.840
But yeah, man, thank y'all to listen for listening to another episode of Respectfully You're Wrong.
00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:41.760
I am your boy, Mr.
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:44.159
Bell, aka Say and N M upon his pod.
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:46.320
Might not put you to the mop.
00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:51.360
Man, I swear to God, I gotta get one as cool as you.
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:53.440
I'm just the D guy, white guy, you know.
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:54.480
I'm here for it.
00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:59.440
They thought they was getting a great credit score, but jokes on that because it's it's in the shambles.
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:01.440
I still am white, though.
00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:02.159
I said shambles.
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:03.599
He saw that, you know.
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:08.880
Maybe drop some G Wilkers on the show, man.
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:09.599
I'll do it, bro.
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:10.559
I ain't scared.
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:17.280
I don't know what the hell for listen.
00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:19.519
G Willakers.
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:25.519
G Willakers is away.
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:27.440
Gosh shuts and all of that.
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:29.920
Gosh darn it.
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:32.480
You wrong too.
