00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:07.480
The Wrestlers Podcast presents our recap of
aw Double or Nothing twenty twenty four from
2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:13.880
the MGM Grand Garden Arena. What
a ridiculously crazy and cram jam pack card
3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.399
tonight. But before I guess started
on things, I want to make this
4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:27.320
point MGF after the International Championship match
with will Ospray who became new champion over
5
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:34.159
Roderick Strong, I love the match
was really well done and we'll Lostpray obviously.
6
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.799
You're seeing now with the new signees
they've run into the company, they're
7
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:45.399
all very they have been in real
top positions at the moment Mercedes Bonnet and
8
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.119
now is a new TBS champion and
a lot of things going on with that.
9
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.560
And you know because Ojigoakata in feature
in the one of the three main
10
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.840
events in the card to night with
anarchy and arena, which was wild.
11
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.560
They went really far for an extreme
match to go ahead and set Jack Berry
12
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.120
on fire just as pants. But
still, that's that's quite a feat from
13
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.840
to do that, to have Darby
Allen hanging from the rafters, well not
14
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.560
to the raptors, but like he
was hanging above suspended above the ring.
15
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.519
That right there, you know,
that was some pretty wild stuff they put
16
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.719
into that match, But what was
most important to me that really stood out,
17
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.280
that is still one of the most
standout things that throughout the night is
18
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:40.200
mgf's return. So after Roddy Strong
loses the belt, Adam Cole comes out,
19
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.319
MJF confronts a lot of symbolism behind
it because MJF, first of all,
20
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:53.439
everybody made a point on X to
compare the return of Triple H from
21
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.239
the long injury that he had wearing
the jack and the jean jacket coming out
22
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.879
there no shirt, and that's exactly
what m have to said to gunt Do.
23
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.079
And we got to break down the
promo that he did tonight, because
24
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.840
he did get a few minutes to
grin talk. He says, I mean
25
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:14.599
you pretty much made it standpoint.
He tattooed aw to his leg and bottom
26
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.000
line is he's committed to the company. He's not going anywhere, he said.
27
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.000
He went Jordan Belfort and Wolf of
Wall Street, Leo DiCaprio, he
28
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.879
went and said it, I'm not
going anywhere. And for those fans that
29
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.639
are gonna be watching this pay per
view tonight and you're gonna go listen around
30
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.800
for commentary, I want you to
be aware of a couple of things.
31
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.840
And this is something I wanted to
go ahead and make a point of because
32
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.639
watching King Quinn of the Ring last
night, watching Double or Nothing tonight,
33
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.879
it's time to start calling out what
has been too long going on of the
34
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:58.159
gas slighting of AW fans. Also, there's are the apologies of AW fans
35
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.800
as well, that's just not necessary. But the loyal W fanatics, Okay,
36
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:08.080
the ones that are, let's be
honest, fair weather fans, Okay,
37
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.879
if you know what I'm talking about. It's like here and down in
38
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.919
South Florida. When there's a team
like the Dolphins or the Heat or the
39
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.159
Panthers, if they're winning and they
had the winning team, then people were
40
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.039
going to go ahead and be rooting
behind them and screw everybody else. Meanwhile,
41
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.960
if they're losing, they're gonna crap
on the team. This is normal
42
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.960
sports fan behavior. But the one
thing is that AW, for whatever reason,
43
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:36.960
you know, they had a time
where they were pretty hot, and
44
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.560
isn't tonight they come off a very
hot double or nothing. The pay per
45
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.080
view was crammed. It was quite
good. A couple of matches probably could
46
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.680
have trimmed off the card. I
could have gone with the FTW rules match.
47
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.960
I could have gone without the Orange
Cassidy Trench Bretta match, just saying
48
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.840
we could have put those on TV. Personally, I didn't get much out
49
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.639
of seeing those two matches in here
tonight, but you know it's part of
50
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.840
the thing. And a lot of
stuff being thrown on the ground. By
51
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:09.039
the way, so dice for Chris
Jericho. Thumb tacks being used, like
52
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.120
every kind of weapon you can think
of, was us tonight. I mean
53
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.360
Jack Pierre also taking water torture.
Let's just take that for another moment.
54
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.879
Who was water boarder for about five
ten seconds in the match as well.
55
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:28.399
Really just beyond belief with Darby Yellen
out there. Okay, but MJ's point
56
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.199
and the fact he's gonna stay with
the company and the way he talked about
57
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.319
the company, there's a lot to
break down, and I will talk more
58
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:40.600
about that, but I want you
to start being beware. Listen in this
59
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.079
this particular podcast, I'm safe harbor. Okay, I'm a fence hitter.
60
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.560
I don't give a shit. I
am not loyal, nor am I you
61
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.040
know, a standard bearer for either
promotion or any promotion Okay, I like
62
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.800
promotions, but I am not a
fan. Okay, I am a fan
63
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.600
of all professional wrestling. Okay,
I'll watch quite a bit of it that
64
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.360
I can watch on TV. That's
what I'm all about. But I talk
65
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.519
mostly about W and to the most
point, we'll talk about AW among other
66
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.720
things in TNA and a third and
then if I get time, you know,
67
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.920
if people will allow me and people
will listen to it, I'll talk
68
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:26.600
about nwn MLW all you want and
ring and water. But I don't like
69
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.000
the travelism. And I know there's
some people out there that can't help themselves.
70
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.519
They're making it a business to gaslight
you, to give you rage bait,
71
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:43.920
to give you clickbait, because they're
going to feed the listeners that they
72
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.680
might have suckered in. They might
have drawn you in like a narcissist.
73
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.600
Okay, they drew you in like
a narcissist, saying, oh, we're
74
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.839
AW fans from the very get go, and they get you like, oh,
75
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.199
we're going to the events. We're
so into it. And now when
76
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:05.759
it's in style to bash AW,
they are, Okay, Yeah, there's
77
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.240
a guy out there's a couple of
guys. This one I always keep following
78
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.800
that he is the epitome of it
has two initials and he comes from a
79
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.399
big apple, right, we know
who that is. It doesn't matter to
80
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.040
me. It can be putching up, But you know, do I need
81
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.279
to worry about their his minions coming
on board to go and attack me.
82
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.879
I don't care. I'm not trying
to make super money on these shows,
83
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.879
but he is. And other media
sources out there, and other commentators and
84
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.920
twitch streamers, are you guys?
Can all do that? You want to
85
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.360
make money off of that? You
want to make money off of pissing off
86
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.160
your audience, off of you know, getting them all worked up into a
87
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.600
froth, you know, making him
feel like what you're saying like a cult
88
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.480
leader. You want to say like
all your so what you're saying is the
89
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.000
gospel? No it's not. No, it's not. You can go ahead
90
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:01.000
all you want, and you can
go ahead and be hypocritical and sanctimonious at
91
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.480
the same time. But at the
end of the day, I know you're
92
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.759
a WW fans and when you're fickle
and you're pissed off when it was not
93
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.920
great five years ago, yeah,
you're gonna be pissed off and you know
94
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.480
what, there's a whole situation why
you feel like that, And on Wednesday,
95
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.000
I'm gonna tell you why. But
I took a few notes over this
96
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:25.360
weekend that I'm gonna present on Wednesday
Night's program. Get ready for that.
97
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.079
It's gonna be a sermon. I'm
gonna explain some things to all of you,
98
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.720
and I'm gonna call things out.
I'm not gonna be calling out podcasters,
99
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.560
not by a name. I'm gonna
stay respectful here. I'm the adult
100
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.959
here, right, I'm the old, one of the older guards of this
101
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.879
program. I've been doing this twelve
years, so you know I can go
102
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:46.959
ahead, play a little bit along
and say, you know what. I'm
103
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.519
not gonna go ahead and play into
that so much and get everybody else all
104
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.319
worked up eleven and a half years, but technically come in up on twelve.
105
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.279
So I'm not gonna do that to
people. But I need you to
106
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.480
realize that when you want to be
a fan of the aw and you love
107
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.560
the board nothing, hey praise it, love it because it was great.
108
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.040
I love the show, you know, I like the show better than I
109
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.680
did Queen of the Green. But
I watched both shows. But I enjoyed
110
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.720
this card more. My thing was
it was a little too long, and
111
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.920
they put a lot of stuff in
there. I mean, oh four and
112
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.319
a half hours of the main card, and that's not counting you know,
113
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.480
first hour thirty some odd mists of
the pre show where we had three matches
114
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:33.080
excuse me, two matches. The
had a pross of beating thunder rosa unfortunate
115
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:39.639
I didn't get to see that match. And you know the acclaimed over cage
116
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.919
of agony in a trios match,
I missed that too. But either which
117
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.840
way, the card was solid.
Will Os Spray beats Roderick Strong by the
118
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.679
way, roder Strong hell of a
match. And you know, we don't
119
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.480
give enough credit to Roderic Strong.
I like the fact that naw, Roderick
120
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.120
Strong has had the most thought out
character. Is it much more different than
121
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.720
who he is? You know,
we it's not camp Strong, it's not
122
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.919
the whole you know, setup of
the you know the truth, you know,
123
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.039
being with the truth Martini anything like
that. You know, it's not
124
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.600
anything like that. But I mean, look the Kingdom, the setup and
125
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.480
Roderick Strong just just having a monster
match here with will of Spring and you
126
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.120
know they played a lot of things
up, Don Cols telling hey, U's
127
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.279
Tiger Driver ninety one. Nope,
and that's gonna be a consistent thing where
128
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.320
it's gonna be still like a thorn
in the side that Don Kalas is going
129
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.159
to joways to be relentless and ruthless
and wanting will ofspre to win. But
130
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.279
he won the title. Nevertheless,
that's gonna be brought up somewhere on Dynamite
131
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.799
Match. They're going to bring that
up. But yeah, strong match,
132
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:52.879
crazy, a lot of going on
there, Bank Bank Gang. They retained
133
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.679
the Trios Championship over Death Triangle.
Really good match and once again, the
134
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.200
only it happened with Williams because we
get a returning Juice Robinson back to the
135
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.519
ring, So that's the way that
really set up of that. Otherwise it
136
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.720
was pretty much matched up, pretty
straight up. Another great match. Serena
137
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.000
d pulling all the stops against Tomas
Tony Storm. I love that. And
138
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.519
you know, when you talk about
aw one thing I do like is that
139
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.440
some of the factions are done,
not just people being put together. That
140
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.759
I do feel like that some of
the factions we have have some kind of
141
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.440
depth to them, like Luther is
like the like you know, the assistant
142
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.039
the show for the confidant, you
know, for the fact that Luther was
143
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.799
such like a ruthless, you know, violent character in Japan and like what
144
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.440
he is now in the suit,
and Mariah may being like the understudy of
145
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.679
Thomas Tony Storm and the whole set
up with the black and white, the
146
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.159
whole setup of you know, chest
out tits up and watched for the shoe.
147
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.799
All that kind of stuff's going on. Like it's it really is fun.
148
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.080
Tommy's Tony Storm still not tired of
this skimmick. And I know people
149
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.080
are gonna eventually say, yeah,
she's gonna turn face. I know,
150
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.039
Brian Alrez and Mike and Revie and
the folks are gonna be like, well,
151
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.360
who is she supposed to be?
Like can we? I that was
152
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.639
other thing? What was it?
Is she babyface her heel? And you
153
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.080
know, Brian Albers and Dave Melts
are going after it like and you're kind
154
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.399
of attacking along. But for me, it's like, I just enjoyed the
155
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.559
match. I three that the you
know, a very strong opponent and also
156
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.759
for the comeback put you know,
put a lot of time in the match,
157
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.080
the women's matches were great. I
thought they really did a bang up
158
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.679
job. But the women's matches up
tonight, two good women's matches and very
159
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.000
strong, very well put together.
A lot of the matches I felt longer,
160
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.960
but I guess they weren't. But
they put a lot in here,
161
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:52.639
man. So those first three matches
solid. The lull for me came with
162
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.320
the FTW rules match. So you
know, Chris Jericho, he works the
163
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.320
three way match, works around both
of them, is able to go ahead
164
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:11.519
and neutralize hook hits Judas effect.
But Jericho pins Sabado to retain the title.
165
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.480
You know, for one thing that
could be said, hook is still
166
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.679
being kept. He didn't take another
pin. They let it go to Shabbata
167
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.919
this time. Interesting Takeushta in the
eliminator match with the IWGP Worth Everyweight Championship.
168
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.360
Moxie did not bleed, not expecting
that at all, but hell of
169
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:39.720
a strong matching Takeushta is just he
really. You know. The one thing
170
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.279
I guess with the factions that are
a bit of a factor here is that
171
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.159
there's not enough time for the factions
to really kind of build up, like
172
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.879
you know, they have factions that
they don't have much of a story.
173
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.559
Like Don KALs, We've had a
story built in, but it's not a
174
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:56.120
consistently told story. And I think
that's the one word that AW is best
175
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:03.240
described as one of their flaws.
It's inconsistent. The stars they have out
176
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.600
there on a regular basis, some
of them are consistent, you know they
177
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.840
do. You know, when MGF
was out there, you know, before
178
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:15.039
he got hurt, he was out
there a lot. The Kingdom inconsistent,
179
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.759
you know, Death Triangle, lut
Your Brothers inconsistent. House of Black inconsistent.
180
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.759
Except for right now, I think
they're getting a little bit more out
181
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.279
of the fact we had this the
match with the T and T title and
182
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.360
the whole deal with House of Black. Right now, with the Brood and
183
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.919
the House of Black, I think
we finally got a story there where House
184
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.120
of Black can be more involved.
That's cool now. And there's others,
185
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.720
you know, you think about Shane
Taylor Promotions, you could think about you
186
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.600
know, we had a Mongo Embassy
out there, or Cage of you know,
187
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.120
Caja Agony and all these other groups
that are out there. They're like
188
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.679
they're just kind of like lost in
translation, inconsistent, And I think one
189
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.679
of the reasons that I'm going to
bring that up on Wednesday is I think
190
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.360
that ring of honor and the thing
that Kahn hasn't done yet is that he
191
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.879
obviously wanted to put a TV deal
for that, and I think the way
192
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:13.039
they're trying to work out the brands. You know, there's obviously a hierarchy
193
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.840
of what Dynamite, Collision and Rampage
are, but it's not a matter that
194
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.159
he's trying to position certain stars that
are solely dedicated to a particular brand.
195
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.399
And I get that part. Sometimes
they we're kind of doing a little bit
196
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.840
of that, especially when seem Punk
came in, you know, and they
197
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.440
we're doing the Collision stuff, seeing
Punk and then certain people he wanted to
198
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.440
work with, you had a little
bit of a brand split there. But
199
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.840
for the most part, we're not
seeing much of a brand split. I
200
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:43.320
mean, sometimes you do, but
it's like that's not it's not fleshed out.
201
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.519
So the thing is is that a
lot of really great stars on the
202
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.080
roster, but you never know when
you're going to see them, and sometimes
203
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.720
you really don't know when somebody is
hurt and when they're coming back, Like
204
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.799
we haven't seen mirror in a while. We didn't see him Cole in a
205
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.120
while. You haven't seen Britt Baker
in a while. We're gonna see he
206
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.120
stars in a while, Like guess
those things where you have stars in here
207
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.799
and then like you know, they
just kind of fade away and we really
208
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.320
don't get to find out where they
are, what it is, And you
209
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.000
know, we have to go on
the line to go and look at their
210
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.720
sheets and find out where what's going
on with them, and it's a bit
211
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.720
hectic, it's a little bit too
much to kind of work off of there.
212
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.960
And that's going to be part of
the thing I got to bring up
213
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:28.039
into in terms of, you know, you can be fickle and you can
214
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.759
go and shit on AW. There's
some justified reasons, of course, but
215
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.559
it doesn't explain the fact that some
of the commentary, some of the criticism
216
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:46.519
that are being done by the mostly
the loyal fans that will talk about AW.
217
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.720
Part of the reason too, is
that they don't want to talk like
218
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.320
they only know about one brand.
Like that's the part too, there's a
219
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.919
there's a bit of this ignorance that
don't they don't want to show that they
220
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.480
have because w fans can be when
they're loyal fans, they can be very
221
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.240
ignorant of other brands. Became very
ignorant of other people because remember, if
222
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.360
it didn't happen in de Wris,
it doesn't matter. It's like a figment
223
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.480
of the imagination. It's like,
we don't know Will lost Pray, he
224
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.639
hasn't been here yet. We don't
know about Okada, he hasn't been here
225
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.000
yet. Right, do we know
him a Mercedes? We know where Sasha
226
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.000
banks? Right, It's like and
it's not even like the courtesy, like
227
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.360
having like a translator. So we
should mention that edge and gain girl from
228
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.399
the Brew took on Malachi, it
took on Alister Black. No, we're
229
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:40.159
not going to do that. You
don't deserve it if you're not going to
230
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.240
be like a diehard wrestling fan and
watch other brands and like actually kind of
231
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:48.399
you know, diversify your wrestling acumen. Yeah, then you know what am
232
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.600
I doing here? Like I don't
want to talk to the w fans that
233
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:59.320
don't at least have an open mind. And you know, we can go
234
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.120
ahead and knit the w programming and
production all we want. They want to
235
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.720
go ahead and nitpick the fact that
you know, oh Logan Paul. They
236
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.079
had that great overhead shot with the
with the jib camera when they got them
237
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.039
going hit the shot, but there
was also like a pin fall and I
238
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.160
forget which match it was. Was
it Logan Paul on the Cody Roads they
239
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.119
had a pinfall attempt that they missed. It was a near fall, but
240
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.039
still they had the They had a
camera all the way somewhere else from the
241
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.799
hard camera all the way back,
zoom back, and they missed the fall
242
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.440
until the last until the three count
them hit the handing the mat by the
243
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.079
referee for the three and it was
a air fall. Okay, we can
244
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.839
nitpick that all we want to,
but I'm not here to do that.
245
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.559
It's not for me to worry about. I'm not gonna this. I don't
246
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.359
care about that. But this is
one of those things that I was thinking
247
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.880
about a lot when it comes to
this pay reviews that I and last night
248
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.039
and going over this weekend of wrestling
and just realizing, man, people just
249
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:03.279
need to get off this ship.
Just appreciate wrestling as far as because they're
250
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.240
with this program. You're not going
to hear that from me. I'm not
251
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.000
going to go that route. And
you know, first of all, I'm
252
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.039
not gonna go ahead and you know, put myself down in the hole with
253
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.480
all these other people in the media
and all these other twitch streamers and all
254
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.960
these other podcasters, my fellow podcast
wrestling brethren. I'm not going to get
255
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.240
into the dirt in the mud with
them. I will say do better.
256
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.319
That's it. Then they're not.
See the thing is, it'll fall and
257
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.200
deaf heres. If I even't just
had to respond to certain people out here,
258
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.119
you know, I'd get blocked.
I get whatever social media is like,
259
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:41.440
it is okay, and that's fine. I don't care less. I
260
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.200
mean, when I tried to see
them the Seaun Ross Sap, he blocked
261
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.799
me. Everybody else has been blocked
by him too. It don't matter.
262
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.000
It's okay. I still read fightful, i still look at the page.
263
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.960
I'm not butt hurt over that,
and the other people that are would be
264
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.920
butt hurt. But you know,
be mature here, huh, Just say,
265
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:06.599
come on, everybody's got this whole
buck up their ass about aw sometimes,
266
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.480
you know, because they wanted it
to be this alternative group and it's
267
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.640
like, you know, they didn't
go the way they wanted it and they
268
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.960
want to try to attach WCW two
it. Listen and Brian Albers said it
269
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.000
right, Yeah, we live WCW. Okay, I watched all that shit.
270
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:23.799
It's not WCW. Cut that shit
out. Cut that shit out because
271
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:30.400
you're wrong. Amazing. Like I
said, there was a lull in the
272
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.720
middle of the night. It picks
back up with the elementary match with that
273
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.279
WGP World Heavyweight Championship. Then we
go to that barbarre steel cage match,
274
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.319
and again this is where the Knight
really goes out there and goes wild.
275
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.599
So you get that barbarire steel cage
match. We get the Brood coming back
276
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.759
because it's just gangro and he comes
out there and I'm like, comes out
277
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.559
from underneath the ring. You know. We get the fire going on for
278
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.519
Adam Koplet's like bringing back the Brood
gimmick here for this, you know,
279
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.680
just to throwback a nod Oh.
I like it. It was fun.
280
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.319
People are gonna be happy about that. That's going to be very noteworthy for
281
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:10.759
people. A lot of newsworthy stuff
going on tonight and all Kay Black take
282
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.839
it, by the way, wrapped
them barbed wire on a table and Adam
283
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.880
Copan going off the top rope like
he's Kurt Angle here. Man. Let
284
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.680
me tell you that's the one thing
I think is that there's something that's said
285
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.160
to be said about when I looked
at Adam Coping out in the ring and
286
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.960
Brian Danielson, I'm saying to myself, would have never allowed this. They
287
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.880
want to never let these guys take
the risk of their tingey out because you
288
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.640
know, they had nickers us,
they've got you know, health scares,
289
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:40.039
got it. But they want to
keep working. They don't care they're death
290
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.599
to fine. They're just gonna keep
moving. And they did and they're still
291
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:47.480
going. It's like, well,
there you go. Hell of a match.
292
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.240
Will Nightingale different look to her was
kind of like, you know,
293
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.079
it was interesting to see her come
out with a different look of the hair
294
00:20:53.839 --> 00:21:02.359
and you know Will Nightingale stokely Hathaway
accompanying, and what a bad night for
295
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.880
poor Willa Nightingale. She loses the
Mercedes Manet eighteen minute match. They gave
296
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.400
it a strong match, but again
Will Nightingale already got one went off of
297
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.160
her before seeing Money come in here
and now become champion. This is like,
298
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.359
you know when Christian Cage begins the
TNA champion right away, or when
299
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:21.359
Hogan became champion, it's like,
yeah, the big star that comes in,
300
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.240
Yeah, they're gonna get the belt
right right away. So to see
301
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.359
the you know, this kind of
thing going on here, no surprise to
302
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:32.880
see City's Mane win the aw TBS
the championship, no surprise there. Everybody
303
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.119
kind of expected it. Yeah,
she's gotta be up there. Let her
304
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.440
be there with the belt. Now, let's see what comes up with next.
305
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.640
But now Willow Nightingale has Chris Statlander
to deal with because stokely, you
306
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:48.160
know the whole ruse where Stokely Hathaway
brates will night Gil for losing the belt.
307
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:55.200
Chris Statlander pushes his away stokely and
then Chris stat Lender accompanies her friend
308
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.960
air quotes only to screw her as
well. Healed turned for Chris stat Lander
309
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.359
first, He'll turned for her,
by the way. Interesting, but we
310
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.359
also saw that she kept her look
was getting more dark, so we could
311
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.240
have taken the hint off of there. Especially tonight, she looked much differently.
312
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.319
She looked good, but she definitely
had a different look to herself than
313
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.359
she normally has. So stokely has
gotten into her mind. Whatever's going on.
314
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:26.640
But Chris stat Leonard's now turned heel. Swore Strickland Christian Cage. Very
315
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.799
good match Sware Strickland. That was
a match he needed to have. Like
316
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.039
obviously, you know, the win
over Smow Joe was one thing, but
317
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.680
to have this going on tonight where
you know, people were kind of asking,
318
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.920
yeah, they made the point that
the young Bucks were the ones that
319
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.279
as the evpiece. They granted Christian
Cage the title opportunity, set it up,
320
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.200
and let me tell you it,
it delivered. They did a good
321
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.400
job where they had Prince Nanna that
was out there. He got screwed over
322
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:59.440
by the patriarchy and the ring side
he gets kicked out, then the Patriarch
323
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.839
against King out and they had the
whole plunder going on right there, which
324
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.640
is like, okay, built that
up. I Swore Strickling, Christian Cage
325
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.599
man. They had a barn Burner
that was a really great match, hell
326
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.480
of a job and Swart Strickling getting
the win, finishing it off. I
327
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.279
like his title run so far,
I really do. I don't know if
328
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:21.599
we go back to Christian Cage again, but like you know that was the
329
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.119
hell of a match. What a
setup for that. I really enjoyed it.
330
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:33.119
The elite Ian not kidding the arena. I've already said a few things
331
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:38.359
about that. That was wild,
that was ridiculous, And yeah, water
332
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.960
boarding suspended an air darbyon and Jack
Perry Man, they took the brunt of
333
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.640
some real shit tonight. I like
the Jack Prairie character now, you know
334
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.400
they you know, he wasn't turning
heel that well, but attached to the
335
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.640
Young Bucks absolutely, And I think
that's what's going on with the Young Bucks
336
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.119
right now, having Okada with them
turning them heel, having Jack Perry with
337
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.920
him turning him heels. The Young
Books were able to turn heel and effectively
338
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.640
become heel in this role. And
Tony Kang getting thrown out there in the
339
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.200
meantime as well. We didn't say
much about that, but you know,
340
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.920
he was just thrown up there like
he's a hostage. And there's a lot
341
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:21.839
going on. But Young Bucks obviously
knew man if they were gonna get this
342
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.119
match at the other night, Hey
listen. Following the barber A still cage
343
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:32.359
match. Following the aw World title
match, Anarchidy Arena had to step it
344
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.119
up another match, and obviously they
did a lot of things where you had
345
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.519
to go and go as far as
they did if you were going to be
346
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.400
that last match of the night to
close it out, and they did it
347
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:48.440
memorable, wild, like you know, even exploding chairs, and I still
348
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.799
remember people complain about that one night
when they had the exploding Barbarer match with
349
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.839
Kenny Omega and Eddie Kingsey comes out
to help, right, help about John
350
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.279
Moxley, and you know, didn't
work out well, Like you know,
351
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.279
it's one of those things that you're
always going to go back to. But
352
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.680
you know what, it's a saw. They got to take a take some
353
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.400
shit for that because they deserve it. That did not not well okay,
354
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.519
But otherwise you know, people are
gonna have all they want to say about
355
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.880
aw and complain. I enjoyed this
PA per view. I have never had
356
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.079
a paper view. I thought that
was like a dud at all. I
357
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.880
enjoyed this pay per view a lot. And I can see where if you
358
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:26.240
want to go back and look at
this because there was so much going on,
359
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.559
you can go back to this again
and watch these all these matches because
360
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.079
it is wild. That's so much
going on here cramped again. Could have
361
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:37.640
gone with a couple less matches,
but you know that's what they're gonna deliver.
362
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.920
Crowd was all into it. Crowd
was very much into it tonight.
363
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:47.759
Just heed the caution I told you
about tonight when it comes to all these
364
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:52.119
other people are gonna come out here
and start bitching them on a complaining Know
365
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.160
who your podcasters, Know who your
media people are, Know where they stand
366
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.559
on certain things. If you need
a little bit, a little bit of
367
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:04.400
background on who they are and what
they said, you know, because there
368
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:11.359
are people that are fair weather.
Okay. The other word that we always
369
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.039
use in sports terms is bandwagon.
So some w B fans at the time
370
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.839
in twenty nineteen, when you know
w was not so doing so good,
371
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.799
which is what allowed AW to get
hit the chance to go ahead and join
372
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.720
into the fray five years ago in
the first place, the rebellion, right
373
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.240
the revolution at that time. Sure
you had fans get on the bandwagon.
374
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:34.880
Now the jumping off, Oh it's
not so hot, Oh okay, you
375
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.359
go jump off. And then you're
not gonna just jump off and just ignore
376
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:44.000
them. No, you're gonna bash
them because for whatever reason you have animus
377
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.559
with them. You're you, you
got vich y'all. And but for some
378
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.680
of you, Oh, it gives
you clicks, it gives you likes,
379
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.799
it gives you subscribes, subscriptions.
You know, it makes you some money
380
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.960
them donations. Oh, good for
you again, one of the podcasters I
381
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:03.720
made mention of vaguely, but you
can figure it out. Old summer time
382
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:04.720
is gonna be two nights. Great, I'm gonna make more on my money
383
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:08.319
off of that, unapologetically saying that
on the air. Okay, good for
384
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.039
you, good for you. Do
I care about making money on this program?
385
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:18.119
Not really what advertising? I don't
make that much off of this show.
386
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.880
Nothing. Nothing. I enjoy sitting
there after this show's done, after
387
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.680
the pay per view is done,
I want to sit down here in my
388
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.039
nice comfy chair in front of my
laptop. I want to talk to you
389
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:33.720
guys on this bicrophone right here.
I enjoyed doing this. I've enjoyed some
390
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.519
eight hundred and fifty one episodes I've
done in this program. I look forward
391
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.200
to it. I don't get tired
of it. Ceasey for me to go
392
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:47.119
and sit down and do an hour's
worth of content, no problem, not
393
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:48.440
tonight, We're gonna keep it short
because, like I said, I got
394
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:53.720
a lot to go and say coming
up on Wednesday night, my regular broadcast,
395
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.119
because we're gonna go ahead and talk
about this tribalism here. Plus we'll
396
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:00.799
talk about whatever the things that happened, you know, the aftermath out from
397
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:07.119
Raw and from Dynamite that goes on
with both of these shows. So a
398
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.000
lot happened here. We're gonna leave
it there. Thanks for listening in To

403
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:27.359
for really fun Wrestlers are podcasts because
wrestling needs us
1
00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:07.480
The Wrestlers Podcast presents our recap of
aw Double or Nothing twenty twenty four from
2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:13.880
the MGM Grand Garden Arena. What
a ridiculously crazy and cram jam pack card
3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.399
tonight. But before I guess started
on things, I want to make this
4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:27.320
point MGF after the International Championship match
with will Ospray who became new champion over
5
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:34.159
Roderick Strong, I love the match
was really well done and we'll Lostpray obviously.
6
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.799
You're seeing now with the new signees
they've run into the company, they're
7
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:45.399
all very they have been in real
top positions at the moment Mercedes Bonnet and
8
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.119
now is a new TBS champion and
a lot of things going on with that.
9
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:56.560
And you know because Ojigoakata in feature
in the one of the three main
10
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.840
events in the card to night with
anarchy and arena, which was wild.
11
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.560
They went really far for an extreme
match to go ahead and set Jack Berry
12
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.120
on fire just as pants. But
still, that's that's quite a feat from
13
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.840
to do that, to have Darby
Allen hanging from the rafters, well not
14
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.560
to the raptors, but like he
was hanging above suspended above the ring.
15
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.519
That right there, you know,
that was some pretty wild stuff they put
16
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.719
into that match, But what was
most important to me that really stood out,
17
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:32.280
that is still one of the most
standout things that throughout the night is
18
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:40.200
mgf's return. So after Roddy Strong
loses the belt, Adam Cole comes out,
19
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.319
MJF confronts a lot of symbolism behind
it because MJF, first of all,
20
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:53.439
everybody made a point on X to
compare the return of Triple H from
21
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.239
the long injury that he had wearing
the jack and the jean jacket coming out
22
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.879
there no shirt, and that's exactly
what m have to said to gunt Do.
23
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.079
And we got to break down the
promo that he did tonight, because
24
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.840
he did get a few minutes to
grin talk. He says, I mean
25
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:14.599
you pretty much made it standpoint.
He tattooed aw to his leg and bottom
26
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.000
line is he's committed to the company. He's not going anywhere, he said.
27
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.000
He went Jordan Belfort and Wolf of
Wall Street, Leo DiCaprio, he
28
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.879
went and said it, I'm not
going anywhere. And for those fans that
29
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.639
are gonna be watching this pay per
view tonight and you're gonna go listen around
30
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.800
for commentary, I want you to
be aware of a couple of things.
31
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.840
And this is something I wanted to
go ahead and make a point of because
32
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.639
watching King Quinn of the Ring last
night, watching Double or Nothing tonight,
33
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.879
it's time to start calling out what
has been too long going on of the
34
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:58.159
gas slighting of AW fans. Also, there's are the apologies of AW fans
35
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.800
as well, that's just not necessary. But the loyal W fanatics, Okay,
36
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:08.080
the ones that are, let's be
honest, fair weather fans, Okay,
37
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.879
if you know what I'm talking about. It's like here and down in
38
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.919
South Florida. When there's a team
like the Dolphins or the Heat or the
39
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.159
Panthers, if they're winning and they
had the winning team, then people were
40
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.039
going to go ahead and be rooting
behind them and screw everybody else. Meanwhile,
41
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.960
if they're losing, they're gonna crap
on the team. This is normal
42
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.960
sports fan behavior. But the one
thing is that AW, for whatever reason,
43
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:36.960
you know, they had a time
where they were pretty hot, and
44
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.560
isn't tonight they come off a very
hot double or nothing. The pay per
45
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.080
view was crammed. It was quite
good. A couple of matches probably could
46
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.680
have trimmed off the card. I
could have gone with the FTW rules match.
47
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.960
I could have gone without the Orange
Cassidy Trench Bretta match, just saying
48
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.840
we could have put those on TV. Personally, I didn't get much out
49
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.639
of seeing those two matches in here
tonight, but you know it's part of
50
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.840
the thing. And a lot of
stuff being thrown on the ground. By
51
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:09.039
the way, so dice for Chris
Jericho. Thumb tacks being used, like
52
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.120
every kind of weapon you can think
of, was us tonight. I mean
53
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.360
Jack Pierre also taking water torture.
Let's just take that for another moment.
54
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.879
Who was water boarder for about five
ten seconds in the match as well.
55
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:28.399
Really just beyond belief with Darby Yellen
out there. Okay, but MJ's point
56
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.199
and the fact he's gonna stay with
the company and the way he talked about
57
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.319
the company, there's a lot to
break down, and I will talk more
58
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:40.600
about that, but I want you
to start being beware. Listen in this
59
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.079
this particular podcast, I'm safe harbor. Okay, I'm a fence hitter.
60
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.560
I don't give a shit. I
am not loyal, nor am I you
61
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.040
know, a standard bearer for either
promotion or any promotion Okay, I like
62
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.800
promotions, but I am not a
fan. Okay, I am a fan
63
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.600
of all professional wrestling. Okay,
I'll watch quite a bit of it that
64
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.360
I can watch on TV. That's
what I'm all about. But I talk
65
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:13.519
mostly about W and to the most
point, we'll talk about AW among other
66
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.720
things in TNA and a third and
then if I get time, you know,
67
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.920
if people will allow me and people
will listen to it, I'll talk
68
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:26.600
about nwn MLW all you want and
ring and water. But I don't like
69
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.000
the travelism. And I know there's
some people out there that can't help themselves.
70
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.519
They're making it a business to gaslight
you, to give you rage bait,
71
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:43.920
to give you clickbait, because they're
going to feed the listeners that they
72
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.680
might have suckered in. They might
have drawn you in like a narcissist.
73
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.600
Okay, they drew you in like
a narcissist, saying, oh, we're
74
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.839
AW fans from the very get go, and they get you like, oh,
75
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.199
we're going to the events. We're
so into it. And now when
76
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:05.759
it's in style to bash AW,
they are, Okay, Yeah, there's
77
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.240
a guy out there's a couple of
guys. This one I always keep following
78
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.800
that he is the epitome of it
has two initials and he comes from a
79
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.399
big apple, right, we know
who that is. It doesn't matter to
80
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.040
me. It can be putching up, But you know, do I need
81
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.279
to worry about their his minions coming
on board to go and attack me.
82
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.879
I don't care. I'm not trying
to make super money on these shows,
83
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.879
but he is. And other media
sources out there, and other commentators and
84
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.920
twitch streamers, are you guys?
Can all do that? You want to
85
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.360
make money off of that? You
want to make money off of pissing off
86
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.160
your audience, off of you know, getting them all worked up into a
87
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.600
froth, you know, making him
feel like what you're saying like a cult
88
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.480
leader. You want to say like
all your so what you're saying is the
89
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.000
gospel? No it's not. No, it's not. You can go ahead
90
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:01.000
all you want, and you can
go ahead and be hypocritical and sanctimonious at
91
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.480
the same time. But at the
end of the day, I know you're
92
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.759
a WW fans and when you're fickle
and you're pissed off when it was not
93
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.920
great five years ago, yeah,
you're gonna be pissed off and you know
94
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.480
what, there's a whole situation why
you feel like that, And on Wednesday,
95
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.000
I'm gonna tell you why. But
I took a few notes over this
96
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:25.360
weekend that I'm gonna present on Wednesday
Night's program. Get ready for that.
97
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.079
It's gonna be a sermon. I'm
gonna explain some things to all of you,
98
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.720
and I'm gonna call things out.
I'm not gonna be calling out podcasters,
99
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.560
not by a name. I'm gonna
stay respectful here. I'm the adult
100
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.959
here, right, I'm the old, one of the older guards of this
101
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.879
program. I've been doing this twelve
years, so you know I can go
102
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:46.959
ahead, play a little bit along
and say, you know what. I'm
103
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.519
not gonna go ahead and play into
that so much and get everybody else all
104
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.319
worked up eleven and a half years, but technically come in up on twelve.
105
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.279
So I'm not gonna do that to
people. But I need you to
106
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.480
realize that when you want to be
a fan of the aw and you love
107
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.560
the board nothing, hey praise it, love it because it was great.
108
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.040
I love the show, you know, I like the show better than I
109
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.680
did Queen of the Green. But
I watched both shows. But I enjoyed
110
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.720
this card more. My thing was
it was a little too long, and
111
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.920
they put a lot of stuff in
there. I mean, oh four and
112
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.319
a half hours of the main card, and that's not counting you know,
113
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.480
first hour thirty some odd mists of
the pre show where we had three matches
114
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:33.080
excuse me, two matches. The
had a pross of beating thunder rosa unfortunate
115
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:39.639
I didn't get to see that match. And you know the acclaimed over cage
116
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.919
of agony in a trios match,
I missed that too. But either which
117
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.840
way, the card was solid.
Will Os Spray beats Roderick Strong by the
118
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.679
way, roder Strong hell of a
match. And you know, we don't
119
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.480
give enough credit to Roderic Strong.
I like the fact that naw, Roderick
120
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.120
Strong has had the most thought out
character. Is it much more different than
121
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.720
who he is? You know,
we it's not camp Strong, it's not
122
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.919
the whole you know, setup of
the you know the truth, you know,
123
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.039
being with the truth Martini anything like
that. You know, it's not
124
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.600
anything like that. But I mean, look the Kingdom, the setup and
125
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.480
Roderick Strong just just having a monster
match here with will of Spring and you
126
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.120
know they played a lot of things
up, Don Cols telling hey, U's
127
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.279
Tiger Driver ninety one. Nope,
and that's gonna be a consistent thing where
128
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.320
it's gonna be still like a thorn
in the side that Don Kalas is going
129
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.159
to joways to be relentless and ruthless
and wanting will ofspre to win. But
130
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.279
he won the title. Nevertheless,
that's gonna be brought up somewhere on Dynamite
131
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.799
Match. They're going to bring that
up. But yeah, strong match,
132
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:52.879
crazy, a lot of going on
there, Bank Bank Gang. They retained
133
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.679
the Trios Championship over Death Triangle.
Really good match and once again, the
134
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.200
only it happened with Williams because we
get a returning Juice Robinson back to the
135
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.519
ring, So that's the way that
really set up of that. Otherwise it
136
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.720
was pretty much matched up, pretty
straight up. Another great match. Serena
137
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.000
d pulling all the stops against Tomas
Tony Storm. I love that. And
138
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.519
you know, when you talk about
aw one thing I do like is that
139
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.440
some of the factions are done,
not just people being put together. That
140
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.759
I do feel like that some of
the factions we have have some kind of
141
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.440
depth to them, like Luther is
like the like you know, the assistant
142
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.039
the show for the confidant, you
know, for the fact that Luther was
143
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.799
such like a ruthless, you know, violent character in Japan and like what
144
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.440
he is now in the suit,
and Mariah may being like the understudy of
145
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.679
Thomas Tony Storm and the whole set
up with the black and white, the
146
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.159
whole setup of you know, chest
out tits up and watched for the shoe.
147
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.799
All that kind of stuff's going on. Like it's it really is fun.
148
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.080
Tommy's Tony Storm still not tired of
this skimmick. And I know people
149
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.080
are gonna eventually say, yeah,
she's gonna turn face. I know,
150
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.039
Brian Alrez and Mike and Revie and
the folks are gonna be like, well,
151
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.360
who is she supposed to be?
Like can we? I that was
152
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.639
other thing? What was it?
Is she babyface her heel? And you
153
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.080
know, Brian Albers and Dave Melts
are going after it like and you're kind
154
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.399
of attacking along. But for me, it's like, I just enjoyed the
155
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.559
match. I three that the you
know, a very strong opponent and also
156
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.759
for the comeback put you know,
put a lot of time in the match,
157
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.080
the women's matches were great. I
thought they really did a bang up
158
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.679
job. But the women's matches up
tonight, two good women's matches and very
159
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.000
strong, very well put together.
A lot of the matches I felt longer,
160
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.960
but I guess they weren't. But
they put a lot in here,
161
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:52.639
man. So those first three matches
solid. The lull for me came with
162
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.320
the FTW rules match. So you
know, Chris Jericho, he works the
163
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.320
three way match, works around both
of them, is able to go ahead
164
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:11.519
and neutralize hook hits Judas effect.
But Jericho pins Sabado to retain the title.
165
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.480
You know, for one thing that
could be said, hook is still
166
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.679
being kept. He didn't take another
pin. They let it go to Shabbata
167
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.919
this time. Interesting Takeushta in the
eliminator match with the IWGP Worth Everyweight Championship.
168
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.360
Moxie did not bleed, not expecting
that at all, but hell of
169
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:39.720
a strong matching Takeushta is just he
really. You know. The one thing
170
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.279
I guess with the factions that are
a bit of a factor here is that
171
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.159
there's not enough time for the factions
to really kind of build up, like
172
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.879
you know, they have factions that
they don't have much of a story.
173
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.559
Like Don KALs, We've had a
story built in, but it's not a
174
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:56.120
consistently told story. And I think
that's the one word that AW is best
175
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:03.240
described as one of their flaws.
It's inconsistent. The stars they have out
176
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.600
there on a regular basis, some
of them are consistent, you know they
177
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.840
do. You know, when MGF
was out there, you know, before
178
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:15.039
he got hurt, he was out
there a lot. The Kingdom inconsistent,
179
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.759
you know, Death Triangle, lut
Your Brothers inconsistent. House of Black inconsistent.
180
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.759
Except for right now, I think
they're getting a little bit more out
181
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.279
of the fact we had this the
match with the T and T title and
182
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.360
the whole deal with House of Black. Right now, with the Brood and
183
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.919
the House of Black, I think
we finally got a story there where House
184
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.120
of Black can be more involved.
That's cool now. And there's others,
185
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.720
you know, you think about Shane
Taylor Promotions, you could think about you
186
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.600
know, we had a Mongo Embassy
out there, or Cage of you know,
187
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.120
Caja Agony and all these other groups
that are out there. They're like
188
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.679
they're just kind of like lost in
translation, inconsistent, And I think one
189
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.679
of the reasons that I'm going to
bring that up on Wednesday is I think
190
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.360
that ring of honor and the thing
that Kahn hasn't done yet is that he
191
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.879
obviously wanted to put a TV deal
for that, and I think the way
192
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:13.039
they're trying to work out the brands. You know, there's obviously a hierarchy
193
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:18.840
of what Dynamite, Collision and Rampage
are, but it's not a matter that
194
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.159
he's trying to position certain stars that
are solely dedicated to a particular brand.
195
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.399
And I get that part. Sometimes
they we're kind of doing a little bit
196
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.840
of that, especially when seem Punk
came in, you know, and they
197
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.440
we're doing the Collision stuff, seeing
Punk and then certain people he wanted to
198
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.440
work with, you had a little
bit of a brand split there. But
199
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.840
for the most part, we're not
seeing much of a brand split. I
200
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:43.320
mean, sometimes you do, but
it's like that's not it's not fleshed out.
201
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.519
So the thing is is that a
lot of really great stars on the
202
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.080
roster, but you never know when
you're going to see them, and sometimes
203
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.720
you really don't know when somebody is
hurt and when they're coming back, Like
204
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.799
we haven't seen mirror in a while. We didn't see him Cole in a
205
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.120
while. You haven't seen Britt Baker
in a while. We're gonna see he
206
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.120
stars in a while, Like guess
those things where you have stars in here
207
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.799
and then like you know, they
just kind of fade away and we really
208
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.320
don't get to find out where they
are, what it is, And you
209
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.000
know, we have to go on
the line to go and look at their
210
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.720
sheets and find out where what's going
on with them, and it's a bit
211
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.720
hectic, it's a little bit too
much to kind of work off of there.
212
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.960
And that's going to be part of
the thing I got to bring up
213
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:28.039
into in terms of, you know, you can be fickle and you can
214
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.759
go and shit on AW. There's
some justified reasons, of course, but
215
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.559
it doesn't explain the fact that some
of the commentary, some of the criticism
216
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:46.519
that are being done by the mostly
the loyal fans that will talk about AW.
217
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.720
Part of the reason too, is
that they don't want to talk like
218
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.320
they only know about one brand.
Like that's the part too, there's a
219
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.919
there's a bit of this ignorance that
don't they don't want to show that they
220
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.480
have because w fans can be when
they're loyal fans, they can be very
221
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.240
ignorant of other brands. Became very
ignorant of other people because remember, if
222
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.360
it didn't happen in de Wris,
it doesn't matter. It's like a figment
223
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.480
of the imagination. It's like,
we don't know Will lost Pray, he
224
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.639
hasn't been here yet. We don't
know about Okada, he hasn't been here
225
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.000
yet. Right, do we know
him a Mercedes? We know where Sasha
226
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.000
banks? Right, It's like and
it's not even like the courtesy, like
227
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.360
having like a translator. So we
should mention that edge and gain girl from
228
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.399
the Brew took on Malachi, it
took on Alister Black. No, we're
229
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:40.159
not going to do that. You
don't deserve it if you're not going to
230
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.240
be like a diehard wrestling fan and
watch other brands and like actually kind of
231
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:48.399
you know, diversify your wrestling acumen. Yeah, then you know what am
232
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.600
I doing here? Like I don't
want to talk to the w fans that
233
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:59.320
don't at least have an open mind. And you know, we can go
234
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.120
ahead and knit the w programming and
production all we want. They want to
235
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.720
go ahead and nitpick the fact that
you know, oh Logan Paul. They
236
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.079
had that great overhead shot with the
with the jib camera when they got them
237
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.039
going hit the shot, but there
was also like a pin fall and I
238
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.160
forget which match it was. Was
it Logan Paul on the Cody Roads they
239
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.119
had a pinfall attempt that they missed. It was a near fall, but
240
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.039
still they had the They had a
camera all the way somewhere else from the
241
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.799
hard camera all the way back,
zoom back, and they missed the fall
242
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.440
until the last until the three count
them hit the handing the mat by the
243
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.079
referee for the three and it was
a air fall. Okay, we can
244
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.839
nitpick that all we want to,
but I'm not here to do that.
245
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.559
It's not for me to worry about. I'm not gonna this. I don't
246
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.359
care about that. But this is
one of those things that I was thinking
247
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.880
about a lot when it comes to
this pay reviews that I and last night
248
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.039
and going over this weekend of wrestling
and just realizing, man, people just
249
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:03.279
need to get off this ship.
Just appreciate wrestling as far as because they're
250
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.240
with this program. You're not going
to hear that from me. I'm not
251
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.000
going to go that route. And
you know, first of all, I'm
252
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.039
not gonna go ahead and you know, put myself down in the hole with
253
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.480
all these other people in the media
and all these other twitch streamers and all
254
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.960
these other podcasters, my fellow podcast
wrestling brethren. I'm not going to get
255
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.240
into the dirt in the mud with
them. I will say do better.
256
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.319
That's it. Then they're not.
See the thing is, it'll fall and
257
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.200
deaf heres. If I even't just
had to respond to certain people out here,
258
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.119
you know, I'd get blocked.
I get whatever social media is like,
259
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:41.440
it is okay, and that's fine. I don't care less. I
260
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.200
mean, when I tried to see
them the Seaun Ross Sap, he blocked
261
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.799
me. Everybody else has been blocked
by him too. It don't matter.
262
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.000
It's okay. I still read fightful, i still look at the page.
263
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.960
I'm not butt hurt over that,
and the other people that are would be
264
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.920
butt hurt. But you know,
be mature here, huh, Just say,
265
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:06.599
come on, everybody's got this whole
buck up their ass about aw sometimes,
266
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.480
you know, because they wanted it
to be this alternative group and it's
267
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.640
like, you know, they didn't
go the way they wanted it and they
268
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.960
want to try to attach WCW two
it. Listen and Brian Albers said it
269
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.000
right, Yeah, we live WCW. Okay, I watched all that shit.
270
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:23.799
It's not WCW. Cut that shit
out. Cut that shit out because
271
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:30.400
you're wrong. Amazing. Like I
said, there was a lull in the
272
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.720
middle of the night. It picks
back up with the elementary match with that
273
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.279
WGP World Heavyweight Championship. Then we
go to that barbarre steel cage match,
274
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.319
and again this is where the Knight
really goes out there and goes wild.
275
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.599
So you get that barbarire steel cage
match. We get the Brood coming back
276
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.759
because it's just gangro and he comes
out there and I'm like, comes out
277
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.559
from underneath the ring. You know. We get the fire going on for
278
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.519
Adam Koplet's like bringing back the Brood
gimmick here for this, you know,
279
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.680
just to throwback a nod Oh.
I like it. It was fun.
280
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.319
People are gonna be happy about that. That's going to be very noteworthy for
281
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:10.759
people. A lot of newsworthy stuff
going on tonight and all Kay Black take
282
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.839
it, by the way, wrapped
them barbed wire on a table and Adam
283
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.880
Copan going off the top rope like
he's Kurt Angle here. Man. Let
284
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.680
me tell you that's the one thing
I think is that there's something that's said
285
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.160
to be said about when I looked
at Adam Coping out in the ring and
286
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.960
Brian Danielson, I'm saying to myself, would have never allowed this. They
287
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.880
want to never let these guys take
the risk of their tingey out because you
288
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.640
know, they had nickers us,
they've got you know, health scares,
289
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:40.039
got it. But they want to
keep working. They don't care they're death
290
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.599
to fine. They're just gonna keep
moving. And they did and they're still
291
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:47.480
going. It's like, well,
there you go. Hell of a match.
292
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.240
Will Nightingale different look to her was
kind of like, you know,
293
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.079
it was interesting to see her come
out with a different look of the hair
294
00:20:53.839 --> 00:21:02.359
and you know Will Nightingale stokely Hathaway
accompanying, and what a bad night for
295
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.880
poor Willa Nightingale. She loses the
Mercedes Manet eighteen minute match. They gave
296
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.400
it a strong match, but again
Will Nightingale already got one went off of
297
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.160
her before seeing Money come in here
and now become champion. This is like,
298
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:17.359
you know when Christian Cage begins the
TNA champion right away, or when
299
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:21.359
Hogan became champion, it's like,
yeah, the big star that comes in,
300
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.240
Yeah, they're gonna get the belt
right right away. So to see
301
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.359
the you know, this kind of
thing going on here, no surprise to
302
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:32.880
see City's Mane win the aw TBS
the championship, no surprise there. Everybody
303
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.119
kind of expected it. Yeah,
she's gotta be up there. Let her
304
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.440
be there with the belt. Now, let's see what comes up with next.
305
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.640
But now Willow Nightingale has Chris Statlander
to deal with because stokely, you
306
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:48.160
know the whole ruse where Stokely Hathaway
brates will night Gil for losing the belt.
307
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:55.200
Chris Statlander pushes his away stokely and
then Chris stat Lender accompanies her friend
308
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.960
air quotes only to screw her as
well. Healed turned for Chris stat Lander
309
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.359
first, He'll turned for her,
by the way. Interesting, but we
310
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.359
also saw that she kept her look
was getting more dark, so we could
311
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.240
have taken the hint off of there. Especially tonight, she looked much differently.
312
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.319
She looked good, but she definitely
had a different look to herself than
313
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.359
she normally has. So stokely has
gotten into her mind. Whatever's going on.
314
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:26.640
But Chris stat Leonard's now turned heel. Swore Strickland Christian Cage. Very
315
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.799
good match Sware Strickland. That was
a match he needed to have. Like
316
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.039
obviously, you know, the win
over Smow Joe was one thing, but
317
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.680
to have this going on tonight where
you know, people were kind of asking,
318
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.920
yeah, they made the point that
the young Bucks were the ones that
319
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.279
as the evpiece. They granted Christian
Cage the title opportunity, set it up,
320
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.200
and let me tell you it,
it delivered. They did a good
321
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.400
job where they had Prince Nanna that
was out there. He got screwed over
322
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:59.440
by the patriarchy and the ring side
he gets kicked out, then the Patriarch
323
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.839
against King out and they had the
whole plunder going on right there, which
324
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.640
is like, okay, built that
up. I Swore Strickling, Christian Cage
325
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.599
man. They had a barn Burner
that was a really great match, hell
326
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.480
of a job and Swart Strickling getting
the win, finishing it off. I
327
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.279
like his title run so far,
I really do. I don't know if
328
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:21.599
we go back to Christian Cage again, but like you know that was the
329
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.119
hell of a match. What a
setup for that. I really enjoyed it.
330
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:33.119
The elite Ian not kidding the arena. I've already said a few things
331
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:38.359
about that. That was wild,
that was ridiculous, And yeah, water
332
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.960
boarding suspended an air darbyon and Jack
Perry Man, they took the brunt of
333
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.640
some real shit tonight. I like
the Jack Prairie character now, you know
334
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.400
they you know, he wasn't turning
heel that well, but attached to the
335
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.640
Young Bucks absolutely, And I think
that's what's going on with the Young Bucks
336
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.119
right now, having Okada with them
turning them heel, having Jack Perry with
337
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.920
him turning him heels. The Young
Books were able to turn heel and effectively
338
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.640
become heel in this role. And
Tony Kang getting thrown out there in the
339
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:11.200
meantime as well. We didn't say
much about that, but you know,
340
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.920
he was just thrown up there like
he's a hostage. And there's a lot
341
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:21.839
going on. But Young Bucks obviously
knew man if they were gonna get this
342
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.119
match at the other night, Hey
listen. Following the barber A still cage
343
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:32.359
match. Following the aw World title
match, Anarchidy Arena had to step it
344
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.119
up another match, and obviously they
did a lot of things where you had
345
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.519
to go and go as far as
they did if you were going to be
346
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.400
that last match of the night to
close it out, and they did it
347
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:48.440
memorable, wild, like you know, even exploding chairs, and I still
348
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.799
remember people complain about that one night
when they had the exploding Barbarer match with
349
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.839
Kenny Omega and Eddie Kingsey comes out
to help, right, help about John
350
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.279
Moxley, and you know, didn't
work out well, Like you know,
351
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.279
it's one of those things that you're
always going to go back to. But
352
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.680
you know what, it's a saw. They got to take a take some
353
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.400
shit for that because they deserve it. That did not not well okay,
354
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.519
But otherwise you know, people are
gonna have all they want to say about
355
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.880
aw and complain. I enjoyed this
PA per view. I have never had
356
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.079
a paper view. I thought that
was like a dud at all. I
357
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.880
enjoyed this pay per view a lot. And I can see where if you
358
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:26.240
want to go back and look at
this because there was so much going on,
359
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.559
you can go back to this again
and watch these all these matches because
360
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.079
it is wild. That's so much
going on here cramped again. Could have
361
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:37.640
gone with a couple less matches,
but you know that's what they're gonna deliver.
362
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.920
Crowd was all into it. Crowd
was very much into it tonight.
363
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:47.759
Just heed the caution I told you
about tonight when it comes to all these
364
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:52.119
other people are gonna come out here
and start bitching them on a complaining Know
365
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.160
who your podcasters, Know who your
media people are, Know where they stand
366
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.559
on certain things. If you need
a little bit, a little bit of
367
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:04.400
background on who they are and what
they said, you know, because there
368
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:11.359
are people that are fair weather.
Okay. The other word that we always
369
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.039
use in sports terms is bandwagon.
So some w B fans at the time
370
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.839
in twenty nineteen, when you know
w was not so doing so good,
371
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.799
which is what allowed AW to get
hit the chance to go ahead and join
372
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.720
into the fray five years ago in
the first place, the rebellion, right
373
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.240
the revolution at that time. Sure
you had fans get on the bandwagon.
374
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:34.880
Now the jumping off, Oh it's
not so hot, Oh okay, you
375
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.359
go jump off. And then you're
not gonna just jump off and just ignore
376
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:44.000
them. No, you're gonna bash
them because for whatever reason you have animus
377
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.559
with them. You're you, you
got vich y'all. And but for some
378
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.680
of you, Oh, it gives
you clicks, it gives you likes,
379
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.799
it gives you subscribes, subscriptions.
You know, it makes you some money
380
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.960
them donations. Oh, good for
you again, one of the podcasters I
381
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:03.720
made mention of vaguely, but you
can figure it out. Old summer time
382
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:04.720
is gonna be two nights. Great, I'm gonna make more on my money
383
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:08.319
off of that, unapologetically saying that
on the air. Okay, good for
384
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.039
you, good for you. Do
I care about making money on this program?
385
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:18.119
Not really what advertising? I don't
make that much off of this show.
386
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.880
Nothing. Nothing. I enjoy sitting
there after this show's done, after
387
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.680
the pay per view is done,
I want to sit down here in my
388
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.039
nice comfy chair in front of my
laptop. I want to talk to you
389
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:33.720
guys on this bicrophone right here.
I enjoyed doing this. I've enjoyed some
390
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.519
eight hundred and fifty one episodes I've
done in this program. I look forward
391
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.200
to it. I don't get tired
of it. Ceasey for me to go
392
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:47.119
and sit down and do an hour's
worth of content, no problem, not
393
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:48.440
tonight, We're gonna keep it short
because, like I said, I got
394
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:53.720
a lot to go and say coming
up on Wednesday night, my regular broadcast,
395
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.119
because we're gonna go ahead and talk
about this tribalism here. Plus we'll
396
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:00.799
talk about whatever the things that happened, you know, the aftermath out from
397
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:07.119
Raw and from Dynamite that goes on
with both of these shows. So a
398
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.000
