[SPEAKER_01]: The better it is, the better it was, and the better it will be.

00:16.833 --> 00:17.633
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know it.

00:19.274 --> 00:21.095

01:15.853 --> 01:19.736
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, with our top prognation tech issues, I had plenty of time.

01:21.357 --> 01:25.399
[SPEAKER_02]: Technology issues are indeed the reason why we are late this evening.

01:25.499 --> 01:28.361
[SPEAKER_02]: We switched streams pun intended here.

01:28.381 --> 01:33.444
[SPEAKER_02]: We're on stream yard as we were once on stream.

01:33.584 --> 01:37.167
[SPEAKER_02]: So yes, we're now begins with stream as opposed to an ending, but

01:37.888 --> 01:41.595
[SPEAKER_00]: about islands to a stream or up in that but where's there?

01:42.056 --> 01:49.210
[SPEAKER_02]: Valley part and we have not been on the air since you passed away yeah my heart ached quite a bit for that one how about yourself on that Justin?

01:49.674 --> 01:58.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I can't claim, I was a huge fan of her music, but I definitely immediately downloaded Jolene to my main Spotify playlist.

01:58.783 --> 02:06.251
[SPEAKER_00]: And also, I mean, while we're here, shout out NRIP to Tim Curry, who was one of my favorite actors.

02:06.511 --> 02:10.475
[SPEAKER_00]: I am, I think one of the few people who actually loved the movie legend.

02:11.296 --> 02:12.537
[SPEAKER_00]: And Owen and I'm blue right.

02:13.278 --> 02:13.899
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

02:14.919 --> 02:15.420
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's see.

02:16.321 --> 02:17.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Rocky picture or show.

02:17.942 --> 02:18.443
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

02:18.923 --> 02:19.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Clue.

02:20.124 --> 02:20.484
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

02:21.545 --> 02:26.210
[SPEAKER_02]: For me, I think clue is my favorite of the bunch, but I loved his appearance in home alone too.

02:27.391 --> 02:27.631
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

02:28.131 --> 02:31.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and the grim reaper just keeps taking all the wrong people from that movie.

02:33.150 --> 02:35.752
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, and they took 280 year olds from us.

02:36.332 --> 02:36.652
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

02:36.672 --> 02:39.675
[SPEAKER_02]: It was to be 380 year olds taken, that did not happen.

02:39.835 --> 02:56.126
[SPEAKER_00]: And, really, Peter Cohen, in 85 year old, but the voice of Optimus Prime, man, that was, I mean, that is like the voice of my youth, transformers, the movie, the original from, is it 84, 86, maybe?

03:03.137 --> 03:14.287
[SPEAKER_02]: a pillar of my childhood, that movie, oh man, yeah, I'm just thinking out loud transformers, he, man, thundercats, stuff like that.

03:14.908 --> 03:16.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that, what were you into out of all those?

03:18.031 --> 03:19.652
[SPEAKER_00]: I was never a thundercats person.

03:19.892 --> 03:24.016
[SPEAKER_00]: It was I'd say transformers than GI Joe.

03:24.336 --> 03:26.078
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

03:26.098 --> 03:28.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I was also a big, a big mask fan.

03:28.480 --> 03:29.160
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you remember

03:32.155 --> 03:41.359
[SPEAKER_00]: That might have been a little after the hey day of transformers and GI Joe, but yeah, mask was a good one.

03:42.679 --> 03:45.821
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, I know there's so many of us going to show this.

03:45.841 --> 03:49.362
[SPEAKER_02]: There's so many films that are going back into theaters.

03:49.382 --> 03:56.665
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Rocky Picture Horror Show, for example, was I think at the day or two after Tim Curry passed was going back into Vegas theaters.

03:57.627 --> 03:57.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Really.

03:58.068 --> 04:01.511
[SPEAKER_00]: I've still never had that theater experience with Brocky Horpitch, Joe.

04:01.531 --> 04:06.096
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was one of the few people in my high school that love that movie.

04:06.296 --> 04:10.160
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember a knowing multiple girlfriends by playing that soundtrack in my car.

04:10.180 --> 04:12.802
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

04:13.924 --> 04:15.465
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't I don't play it with it all.

04:15.565 --> 04:18.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, those those relationships did not last long.

04:20.930 --> 04:23.031
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I know that one.

04:23.131 --> 04:24.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that was good.

04:24.431 --> 04:26.792
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's no any generations for that.

04:26.852 --> 04:31.094
[SPEAKER_00]: You and you mentioned he man that new he man that came out recently, the movie.

04:31.654 --> 04:32.174
[SPEAKER_00]: Really good.

04:32.895 --> 04:38.177
[SPEAKER_00]: No fucking reason for it to be two hours and 40 minutes, but it was a solid he man movie.

04:39.217 --> 04:39.897
[SPEAKER_00]: To what?

04:40.057 --> 04:41.338
[SPEAKER_00]: Two hours and 40 minutes?

04:42.730 --> 04:45.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was something ridiculous like that way too long.

04:45.631 --> 04:50.513
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I guess the last question I have on that is did Jared let'll put out pull off an okay Skeletor.

04:54.295 --> 04:57.596
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate to say this considering it's Jared Lotto.

04:58.416 --> 04:59.777
[SPEAKER_00]: He was probably the best part of the movie.

05:00.377 --> 05:01.117
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

05:01.237 --> 05:01.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

05:01.937 --> 05:02.138
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

05:02.338 --> 05:03.058
[SPEAKER_00]: He was phenomenal.

05:03.976 --> 05:07.918
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, I guess, yeah, in a way, I don't know, I think that's kind of cool to hear.

05:11.480 --> 05:16.503
[SPEAKER_02]: He played the Joker in suicide squad, or I think it was like the first to the second rendition.

05:16.663 --> 05:19.405
[SPEAKER_02]: I had higher hopes and he used terrible.

05:19.825 --> 05:21.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've never been a big fan of him.

05:23.715 --> 05:31.686
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually show my my son loves the 17 second clip of cartoon Skeletor just laughing hysterically into.

05:31.966 --> 05:33.328
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of his favorite things to play.

05:33.749 --> 05:37.534
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll even roll around on the carpet like Skeletor did laughing.

05:37.654 --> 05:38.255
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's the best.

05:38.976 --> 05:40.899
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you see the movie?

05:41.557 --> 05:42.298
[SPEAKER_02]: I still haven't yet.

05:42.618 --> 05:43.199
[SPEAKER_00]: You check it out.

05:43.219 --> 05:44.760
[SPEAKER_00]: You have, uh, it's on Amazon Prime.

05:45.081 --> 05:45.601
[SPEAKER_00]: I think was it.

05:45.902 --> 05:49.265
[SPEAKER_00]: For if you have it, also, uh, Project Kilmeri is on there too.

05:49.285 --> 05:50.266
[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't seen that, that's true.

05:50.326 --> 05:50.587
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

05:51.327 --> 05:51.848
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Thursday.

05:51.908 --> 05:52.569
[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds good to me.

05:53.330 --> 05:53.570
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

05:53.610 --> 05:55.051
[SPEAKER_02]: I was, I was a he-man kid growing up.

05:55.512 --> 06:01.258
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I think a like, transformers was one, though, for me, and then followed by he-man and those orders.

06:01.759 --> 06:01.999
[SPEAKER_02]: But, uh,

06:02.439 --> 06:07.343
[SPEAKER_02]: Nonetheless, you got a little bit of a preview when it came to our movie viewing.

06:07.463 --> 06:13.188
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, let's flash some Patrons stuff here on said banner.

06:13.268 --> 06:14.269
[SPEAKER_02]: Three, two, one ticker.

06:14.409 --> 06:14.989
[SPEAKER_02]: Here we go.

06:16.030 --> 06:19.373
[SPEAKER_02]: Top pronations Patrons, thank you so much as always for your support.

06:19.413 --> 06:21.614
[SPEAKER_02]: You will see the scroll down at the bottom here.

06:22.715 --> 06:35.598
[SPEAKER_02]: As the calendar turns into September 1st today and it felt like a July day is just and said 91 degrees in Iowa was miserable here in Minnesota 2, 90 degrees and barely in any air condition all day.

06:35.698 --> 06:41.300
[SPEAKER_02]: So, news to say my mood was not the best until I got home into some air conditioning.

06:41.595 --> 06:44.877
[SPEAKER_02]: But five bucks a month, you can subscribe to us.

06:45.297 --> 06:46.958
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be dropping a classic my assumption.

06:46.978 --> 06:50.800
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll probably be next week now with SummerSlam 2002.

06:51.361 --> 06:54.082
[SPEAKER_02]: And looking forward to definitely looking forward to that show.

06:54.142 --> 06:57.564
[SPEAKER_02]: And maybe glorifying Hunter.

07:00.046 --> 07:00.406
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe.

07:01.046 --> 07:01.447
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe.

07:02.227 --> 07:07.230
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm not 100% sure on that one, but TRN unplugged, I'll drop one on Thursday this week.

07:07.270 --> 07:12.393
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll probably have a little bit of extra to say about that's opening topic of our show tonight.

07:13.534 --> 07:16.076
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is where I'm going to go from there.

07:16.336 --> 07:17.356
[SPEAKER_02]: Chicago, how does hell?

07:17.416 --> 07:20.798
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're going to be there in 25 days, 24.

07:21.139 --> 07:21.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of you.

07:21.939 --> 07:27.462
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got a related question for you with that after we're kind of talking about the

07:28.837 --> 07:29.398
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds good.

07:29.658 --> 07:30.739
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess I have one more question.

07:31.259 --> 07:32.040
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw a glass.

07:32.180 --> 07:32.560
[SPEAKER_02]: What's in it?

07:34.201 --> 07:39.165
[SPEAKER_00]: A little G&T in my top pronations podcast.

07:40.026 --> 07:46.511
[SPEAKER_00]: All the ice is gone because well, it was poured when we started the original show tonight.

07:47.632 --> 07:55.237
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I know I feel like I should break one out right now myself, but I'm not going to leave you here alone by yourself for 30 seconds trying to entertain an audience.

07:55.297 --> 07:55.798
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not fun.

07:56.718 --> 08:00.020
[SPEAKER_00]: I can give the movie review of the end of Oak Street.

08:01.140 --> 08:02.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

08:02.101 --> 08:03.902
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there you go.

08:04.362 --> 08:05.042
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you what.

08:05.062 --> 08:06.323
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if you get enough of that, I'll go.

08:06.383 --> 08:06.943
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll go poor.

08:06.963 --> 08:08.024
[SPEAKER_02]: I shouldn't have done it.

08:08.124 --> 08:12.726
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, we are 24 days away from all out in that aspect.

08:12.766 --> 08:16.087
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're, of course, coming here tonight to talk about AWS all in.

08:17.688 --> 08:19.229
[SPEAKER_02]: and a lot happened.

08:19.289 --> 08:23.491
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been over 48 hours since it has transpired.

08:24.011 --> 08:26.972
[SPEAKER_02]: We always ask for grades on such show.

08:27.213 --> 08:33.055
[SPEAKER_02]: So Justin, A through A minus, what was your grade?

08:35.636 --> 08:37.957
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been thinking about this a lot.

08:39.878 --> 08:42.980
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm going to go with like a

08:44.569 --> 09:02.424
[SPEAKER_00]: big capital, bold A. Yeah, I wanted to go A plus, but I had just enough knit picks that I'm going to go with an A.

09:02.865 --> 09:07.429
[SPEAKER_00]: And having said that, this was one of AW's best shows ever.

09:12.713 --> 09:23.500
[SPEAKER_00]: felt like it really found a groove, because it seemed like Tony Khan was dead set on sometimes due to detriment, on having this show be four hours.

09:24.341 --> 09:25.762
[SPEAKER_00]: So there wasn't that exhaustion.

09:25.782 --> 09:35.788
[SPEAKER_00]: It was helped with for those of us in the US with the time change that this wasn't going into 11 and 1130, but we'll get more in depth on it.

09:36.229 --> 09:40.571
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an A show, one of the best AW has ever put out

09:42.497 --> 09:47.664
[SPEAKER_00]: Almost structurally, as far as match placement.

09:51.827 --> 09:55.668
[SPEAKER_02]: I almost wanted to nitpick it and give it a name minus I I can't do it.

09:56.049 --> 09:57.289
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't want to do that.

09:57.329 --> 10:05.172
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't so I think just a strength in number one is as Ryan always says there's a match of the year candidate on the show.

10:05.232 --> 10:10.454
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to pretty much give it an automatic A you you're flashing to we'll talk about the second one later in a minute here.

10:11.134 --> 10:12.835
[SPEAKER_02]: I felt there were some in there that were.

10:13.895 --> 10:20.983
[SPEAKER_02]: in that four star range and I mean the main event for me even with small debates I could give on it.

10:21.183 --> 10:23.786
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean I that's an automatic five.

10:24.427 --> 10:27.129
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think all the results felt correct.

10:29.192 --> 10:32.215
[SPEAKER_00]: To me there wasn't anything offensive on the show.

10:32.916 --> 10:34.557
[SPEAKER_00]: There was just some stuff that I was gonna

10:37.372 --> 10:43.395
[SPEAKER_02]: The couple I had scratched a little bit about, but again, I think we will talk about it as we go along here.

10:43.575 --> 10:44.856
[SPEAKER_02]: I see lots of A's.

10:44.916 --> 10:48.978
[SPEAKER_02]: I even call I see an S tier in here from our friend Tim Chenson.

10:49.778 --> 10:50.159
[SPEAKER_02]: Kenny.

10:50.299 --> 10:51.179
[SPEAKER_02]: What the hell does that mean?

10:51.499 --> 10:52.220
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to know.

10:52.240 --> 10:53.740
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's going to have to elaborate in the chat.

10:54.981 --> 10:57.242
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, let's go to the main event right away.

10:57.882 --> 11:02.745
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll talk, like, I'm only going to talk for like 30 seconds in the beginning and I'll let you take over on this Justin.

11:02.825 --> 11:08.187
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to talk about the the presentation factor of it with both of their entrances.

11:08.827 --> 11:14.770
[SPEAKER_02]: This legit felt to me like a wrestle kingdom Tokyo domain event almost more than it felt like an AEW.

11:15.711 --> 11:16.551
[SPEAKER_02]: Main event to me.

11:16.671 --> 11:18.572
[SPEAKER_02]: And that hit me directly in the heartstrings.

11:19.032 --> 11:21.953
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like a combination of wrestle kingdom and

11:23.444 --> 11:29.888
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a W found that little sweet spot in between those two big gigantic shows, great call.

11:30.769 --> 11:31.069
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

11:31.429 --> 11:46.079
[SPEAKER_02]: And going through, I think most people know by now that I'm writing a book on the new AEW World Heavyweight Champion, and seeing them pay so many omages to where he started his mom, like doing all the narrating for it.

11:46.299 --> 11:47.279
[SPEAKER_00]: Bye, but we'll Riley.

11:48.907 --> 11:52.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, as soon as that intro hit, I was like, fuck yeah, let's go.

11:52.789 --> 12:02.355
[SPEAKER_00]: I was, I was jacked up when I heard that your regardless of unbeknownst to me, that is apparently the Lakers intro music.

12:03.015 --> 12:03.775
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea.

12:04.456 --> 12:06.177
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't let that ruin the moment.

12:07.123 --> 12:08.325
[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't some point in time.

12:08.725 --> 12:17.296
[SPEAKER_02]: I just can't remember if it was the 80s or if it's current day, not 100% sure, but we're going to skip past that because I know where you where you lie when it comes to like it's all that stuff.

12:17.356 --> 12:26.287
[SPEAKER_02]: So something that was super cool and I have not seen done on a wrestling show and somebody can correct me when they get there was.

12:27.042 --> 12:33.225
[SPEAKER_02]: Osprey walking down the hall and seeing pretty much everybody's significant from his past.

12:34.025 --> 12:34.826
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go through it.

12:35.166 --> 12:35.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you name him?

12:36.346 --> 12:37.107
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, pretty easy.

12:37.367 --> 12:37.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

12:37.547 --> 12:38.507
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

12:38.527 --> 12:45.751
[SPEAKER_02]: Zach Saber Jr. to start out yet Michael Oku with his female manager who I cannot remember.

12:45.771 --> 12:50.153
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's Amina might be Rikashay was next.

12:50.755 --> 13:03.721
[SPEAKER_00]: which it's cool because it started off like, oh, this is going to just be the history of Will Osprey and British wrestling, but it is once you saw Ricochet, it's like, oh, this is the Will Osprey story.

13:03.841 --> 13:04.241
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

13:05.462 --> 13:05.942
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks, Eric.

13:05.962 --> 13:06.822
[SPEAKER_00]: I was close, Samira.

13:08.083 --> 13:13.105
[SPEAKER_02]: That I'm not not exaggerating when I say this to that Osprey Oku match from 2024.

13:13.145 --> 13:15.326
[SPEAKER_02]: That might have been my favorite match of his entire year.

13:15.727 --> 13:18.568
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, go back and watch it at some point if you haven't.

13:19.227 --> 13:26.151
[SPEAKER_02]: Ricochet was next Swerve to follow that just with that little step up in the trio's title on his shoulder.

13:27.092 --> 13:29.874
[SPEAKER_02]: Next I believe was Aussie open.

13:30.234 --> 13:42.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yep, where they were they just parted ways, which was interesting because of all of them with a guess in argument could be made for the last one, but

13:44.462 --> 13:46.564
[SPEAKER_00]: just k-fabe wise.

13:46.764 --> 13:57.053
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of heat between Willow spray and Kyle Fletcher, but I love that AW can set that kind of stuff aside just for an important moment.

13:58.488 --> 13:59.529
[SPEAKER_02]: They do that really well.

13:59.869 --> 14:03.771
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we were in attendance for full gear 21 when Hangman won it the first time.

14:04.271 --> 14:06.152
[SPEAKER_02]: Matt Jackson just kind of stepped out of the way.

14:06.332 --> 14:09.253
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was just like, hey, nope, this is Hangman's time.

14:09.453 --> 14:11.834
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't do wrong by him at this point.

14:12.275 --> 14:15.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Alex Windsor of course was second to last with the old hug.

14:15.656 --> 14:20.058
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the outfits when they were coming into the, like, like, eyes, boys.

14:20.639 --> 14:23.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the Osprey kind of sports attire.

14:23.280 --> 14:23.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

14:23.820 --> 14:24.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

14:25.661 --> 14:38.427
[SPEAKER_02]: I had us, I have very, very thankful they didn't tie into anything new Japan current day, because Kalam Newman and Will Osprey are on a collision course at some point in 2000 and in 2016-27, so I'm so glad nothing happened there.

14:39.627 --> 14:43.369
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe a little concern that they were in the corner when I had announced that they had announced at the night before.

14:44.732 --> 14:54.338
[SPEAKER_02]: And then John Moxley, and this was after Will had been disrobed from the Osprey sports jacket into more of his Assassin's Creed attire.

14:55.619 --> 14:59.001
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, so he threw that on and then Moxley gives him the British flag.

15:00.422 --> 15:01.442
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the music hits.

15:01.782 --> 15:02.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And then music hits.

15:02.823 --> 15:03.063
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

15:03.223 --> 15:03.503
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude.

15:03.523 --> 15:08.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that wasn't fucking all timer.

15:09.890 --> 15:32.667
[SPEAKER_00]: an all-time or opening between the Bobo Riley mom intro with his history into the walk-in, the only thing for me that it was missing was I wish they could have licensed that heartbeat music that we would get back in like the mid-90s when like it's specifically you know survivor series 96 when Sean and Sid are walking backstage to the ring.

15:33.267 --> 15:33.547
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,

15:40.639 --> 15:59.207
[SPEAKER_02]: Not to be outdone, Kenny Omega, by the way, in video game-esque roles and the Japanese narrator, just Kenny's journey after three years of trial and physical ailment and all the dives and slams that led him to this moment and told him it's time to go plus ultra.

16:01.070 --> 16:09.254
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh man, it should definitely the heart feels and walks down the ring and his traditional garb that's also video game ask.

16:09.454 --> 16:12.115
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't a camera festragon balls, you don't think it is.

16:13.756 --> 16:16.898
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw online which totally escaped me.

16:17.038 --> 16:18.939
[SPEAKER_00]: It was my hero.

16:21.730 --> 16:26.511
[SPEAKER_02]: I should have looked this up before, but we've got a lot of video gamers in here that are totally out there.

16:26.591 --> 16:27.312
[SPEAKER_00]: It was anime.

16:27.672 --> 16:30.813
[SPEAKER_00]: It was for some anime show.

16:31.713 --> 16:34.514
[SPEAKER_00]: My hero and yeah, I can't remember it, hang it.

16:35.875 --> 16:38.476
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so we're definitely going to flash upon that as we go.

16:39.496 --> 16:41.217
[SPEAKER_02]: Akadima, Akadima.

16:41.837 --> 16:42.477
[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds right.

16:42.958 --> 16:43.278
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

16:44.098 --> 16:45.559
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, Eric there for the wind.

16:49.905 --> 17:05.580
[SPEAKER_02]: on occasion yet we may have to my hero academia see you got the my hero part right I was so close and in triple gold also new japan main event ask attire you had the heaps flanked by the young books branding cutler and michael knockazawa

17:06.175 --> 17:10.698
[SPEAKER_02]: Cutler filming live in ring footage for the first time in ages.

17:10.878 --> 17:11.778
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been a while.

17:12.539 --> 17:14.620
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure there's some BTE footage out there.

17:14.820 --> 17:21.764
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't watched it in years, but I'm gonna have to go back and check this out and see what that looked like in person on Sunday.

17:22.805 --> 17:31.730
[SPEAKER_02]: But we had a half an hour main event, might have been a little bit longer than 34, 34, that ended up being indeed a classic.

17:37.698 --> 17:39.799
[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, boy, where do you even begin?

17:43.061 --> 17:47.003
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to rewatch their rest-ilking to match.

17:48.985 --> 17:52.527
[SPEAKER_00]: But, first, and I've watched this one twice.

17:52.867 --> 18:04.874
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, just because of what, of the moment, and what it means for both Omega and Will Osprey,

18:05.752 --> 18:11.597
[SPEAKER_00]: because I'd be willing to bet that the match quality is at least close to that restful kingdom match.

18:13.258 --> 18:15.140
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanna say this was the best in the trilogy.

18:15.600 --> 18:17.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not near as high on the forbidden door one.

18:17.962 --> 18:24.948
[SPEAKER_00]: As other people, there was just a little bit too much Gaga and self-indulgence for my liking in that one.

18:26.169 --> 18:32.475
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do need to go back and watch the restful kingdom one, but God damn, I mean, you talk about what's to like in this match.

18:32.575 --> 18:32.815
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,

18:34.057 --> 18:38.959
[SPEAKER_00]: what's not like honestly, and this is gonna shock people coming for me.

18:39.939 --> 18:43.040
[SPEAKER_00]: My only nitpick is I would have done without the blood.

18:44.061 --> 18:45.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have gone no color.

18:45.421 --> 18:48.002
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have gone no color in this match.

18:48.423 --> 18:53.084
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Will Osprey has blood in all three of their main matches.

18:53.124 --> 18:55.365
[SPEAKER_00]: I know they've had four, but I'm just talking about the main three.

18:59.087 --> 19:00.087
[SPEAKER_00]: This was just like,

19:01.962 --> 19:03.666
[SPEAKER_00]: perfect storytelling to me.

19:03.786 --> 19:06.351
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that's a gripe.

19:06.792 --> 19:10.620
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of nerds have online about A, W's that they don't tell stories.

19:11.682 --> 19:12.945
[SPEAKER_00]: And they did.

19:13.815 --> 19:15.076
[SPEAKER_00]: And they do all the time.

19:15.096 --> 19:17.498
[SPEAKER_00]: We just got to pay attention in this match specifically.

19:17.518 --> 19:21.521
[SPEAKER_00]: They told the story, it was a cano mega match.

19:21.681 --> 19:24.143
[SPEAKER_00]: Cano mega dominated the majority of that match.

19:24.483 --> 19:31.548
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you and me are going to get into the finish a little bit, because I think we disagree on things there just maybe a smidge.

19:32.269 --> 19:35.471
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought all of that was just pitch perfect.

19:35.511 --> 19:39.454
[SPEAKER_00]: It might only complaint other than alleviating the blood,

19:43.180 --> 19:47.625
[SPEAKER_00]: TK wanting to stick to that tight deadline.

19:47.645 --> 19:50.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they had like a UK time 10 30 out.

19:50.928 --> 19:52.249
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was that like 10 15.

19:54.740 --> 19:57.181
[SPEAKER_00]: they cut the black to me a little abruptly.

19:57.421 --> 20:01.123
[SPEAKER_00]: I needed a little bit more of that will all spray celebration.

20:02.304 --> 20:04.145
[SPEAKER_00]: And uh, because a lot of that was perfect.

20:04.185 --> 20:07.427
[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't seen it, please go, they've uploaded the videos.

20:07.447 --> 20:16.931
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a bunch of them out there of of Kenny and will embracing afterwards and even will helping Omega up the ramp.

20:16.971 --> 20:19.973
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, this was just the story of

20:22.306 --> 20:43.023
[SPEAKER_00]: a wrestler who knew this was probably his last run with the world title in doing everything humanly possible to hold onto it in the face of the, you know, the next big AW star and 40 some thousand of his countrymen.

20:44.084 --> 20:48.907
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will get into more of the finish here in a minute,

20:51.447 --> 20:58.731
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot, Kenny playing the cleaner role, I think, from New Japan was Chef's kiss touch.

20:58.791 --> 21:06.795
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw Dave Meltzer say today that this might have been Kenny Omega's best match ever, even though the performance.

21:07.035 --> 21:08.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a performance.

21:08.436 --> 21:08.816
[SPEAKER_02]: He did.

21:08.916 --> 21:09.156
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

21:09.796 --> 21:13.518
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'd have to really think about that one, but it's definitely in the top five.

21:14.379 --> 21:16.580
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he doesn't have what he had.

21:16.660 --> 21:19.962
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't have that explosiveness, like full go, and he didn't need to hear.

21:20.502 --> 21:42.239
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... he he played the heel roll he tried to slow things down and he did it he was used very successful for the first two thirds of the match and dialogue was super important i i think with him and he was always a step ahead the trash talking was incredibly fun and cheese like just the the physicality of the match every movement something

21:43.060 --> 21:46.922
[SPEAKER_02]: They were paying homage to things that had happened back in the first two matches.

21:47.402 --> 21:48.022
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm with you.

21:48.542 --> 21:51.643
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that forbidden door would rank three out of three for me on this one.

21:52.324 --> 21:55.785
[SPEAKER_02]: I would rank wrestle kingdom just one hair higher than this one.

21:57.386 --> 22:10.071
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I don't necessarily know if the athleticism truly matters, but I think both of them three years ago were a little sharper and everything just felt just a smidge and more calculated back then.

22:11.593 --> 22:15.215
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's not to say again, I'm nitpicking of flipping five star match right now.

22:15.295 --> 22:16.736
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

22:16.856 --> 22:17.877
[SPEAKER_02]: What else am I going to do?

22:18.577 --> 22:21.058
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything was played to an absolute key.

22:21.599 --> 22:27.902
[SPEAKER_02]: Kenny just doing some little heal things like you'd mentioned, like smashing will in the head with a television monitor.

22:29.243 --> 22:32.365
[SPEAKER_02]: it's just being a complete jerk in the in the crowd.

22:32.885 --> 22:38.988
[SPEAKER_02]: They weren't actively booing him the whole time, but he was definitely getting a little more booze than you would think.

22:39.448 --> 22:40.909
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like a lot of people online.

22:40.929 --> 22:43.950
[SPEAKER_02]: It's actually saying that how can I boo Kenny Omega?

22:44.170 --> 22:45.091
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just so good.

22:45.391 --> 22:47.512
[SPEAKER_02]: And he made you boo.

22:47.712 --> 22:49.953
[SPEAKER_02]: So that just pretty much tells you right there.

22:50.574 --> 22:51.354
[SPEAKER_02]: He is that damn good.

22:52.635 --> 22:52.915
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

22:53.115 --> 22:56.817
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is why I want to get into it with you here.

22:58.372 --> 23:01.813
[SPEAKER_00]: the, there's two things.

23:03.074 --> 23:12.117
[SPEAKER_00]: The big story I think coming out of it is that we'll last break is the second person ever to kick out of the one-winged angel.

23:13.818 --> 23:14.618
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know a

23:28.185 --> 23:33.508
[SPEAKER_00]: both of those things in this instance, especially the fact that Kenny did a twice.

23:33.768 --> 23:42.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if everybody on the show, or if on every AW show, somebody was kicking out at one, I would be right there with you.

23:43.054 --> 23:47.196
[SPEAKER_00]: But for the most part, it's restricted to basically that's just Kenny's gimmick.

23:48.197 --> 23:53.920
[SPEAKER_00]: And so just the fact that I think you even said this at the other day on our text read

23:57.743 --> 24:03.685
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think in a way it was, like, is, is any done, do I think can he's done wrestling?

24:03.885 --> 24:08.307
[SPEAKER_00]: No, do I think Kenny will never have a great match again?

24:09.607 --> 24:10.667
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course he will.

24:11.628 --> 24:15.449
[SPEAKER_00]: But will he ever be world champion again?

24:15.469 --> 24:18.510
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, probably not, right?

24:18.570 --> 24:22.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he ever going to be in a match with

24:25.815 --> 24:27.517
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe, but probably not.

24:27.597 --> 24:30.379
[SPEAKER_00]: So in a way, this was his swansong.

24:31.180 --> 24:38.326
[SPEAKER_00]: And in this was, Will Osbray taking that next step into superstardom.

24:38.386 --> 24:44.171
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you were, I mean, what's the point of having a super protected finisher?

24:45.232 --> 24:49.575
[SPEAKER_00]: It's for at some point at the right moment to have somebody

24:54.342 --> 25:21.462
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was the moment to have hangman's crowning achievement be the moment where he kicked out and I was wrong because if he had done that, it would have made this moment all that much more less and in that moment, unbeknownst to me in November of 2021 with everything that came after it, hangman wasn't quite all caps the guy yet, you know, it was going to take a little bit longer before that actually happened and can't just put a title on somebody

25:24.150 --> 25:38.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Will Ospreys the guy, and to do it on this show in front of that crowd, and in this moment, I just don't know how you could come up with a better moment for somebody to kick out of the one-wing angel.

25:38.880 --> 25:43.284
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you talk about Kenny kicking out at one place in a row.

25:43.784 --> 25:47.266
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, the second time he did that, I was losing my fucking mind.

25:53.080 --> 25:57.288
[SPEAKER_00]: Omega's not going to win, is he like, how is he kicking out of this shit?

25:57.308 --> 26:00.433
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, are they going to let this go for a little bit longer?

26:00.453 --> 26:05.582
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just the last gasp of

26:07.048 --> 26:11.732
[SPEAKER_00]: someone who you can make a credible argument is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

26:12.652 --> 26:15.875
[SPEAKER_00]: And what will probably be one of his last great moments.

26:16.635 --> 26:19.577
[SPEAKER_00]: So I, I thought it was all tremendous.

26:19.657 --> 26:23.600
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, sorry, I'm going a little long here, Jesse, but it's the last thing.

26:23.620 --> 26:28.084
[SPEAKER_00]: The, the, the fucking storytelling in this, you go back to, you know,

26:29.533 --> 26:31.975
[SPEAKER_00]: Will Osprey kicking out of that one-winged angel.

26:32.695 --> 26:38.779
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, not too long afterwards, he hits one of the nirliest tiger drivers ever.

26:39.000 --> 26:40.781
[SPEAKER_00]: We're like, I legit gasped.

26:40.901 --> 26:44.143
[SPEAKER_00]: I was watching with my kid and he's like, oh, Dad, what is that?

26:44.223 --> 26:46.345
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was like, yeah, I'm fucking terrified.

26:47.085 --> 26:55.271
[SPEAKER_00]: And whether it be legit, which I doubt and hope is in true, and that it was just,

26:56.827 --> 26:59.749
[SPEAKER_00]: amazing selling with Kenny selling.

26:59.969 --> 27:01.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it looked like maybe he had a stinger.

27:01.870 --> 27:03.911
[SPEAKER_00]: He couldn't use his left arm.

27:04.511 --> 27:07.453
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he kept trying to get, look like he kept trying to get the feeling back.

27:07.493 --> 27:14.837
[SPEAKER_00]: But after seeing that tiger driver work, really, look like it messed up his head, knack with the way he landed.

27:15.358 --> 27:16.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I was believing in it.

27:17.019 --> 27:19.040
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I, I was sucked into the match.

27:27.040 --> 27:28.621
[SPEAKER_00]: you know Kenny's left arm was useless.

27:29.801 --> 27:36.465
[SPEAKER_00]: He was, you know, the one-wing angel had already failed and now Omega was left with one wing.

27:37.445 --> 27:44.529
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just wasn't enough to overcome Will Osprey who's again the guy.

27:46.309 --> 27:50.551
[SPEAKER_02]: The first tiger driver that Osprey did, ironically it was to Omega for bitten door in

27:54.747 --> 27:56.328
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll just go back and watch that one.

27:56.388 --> 27:57.788
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't ping on somebody's head.

27:57.809 --> 28:07.453
[SPEAKER_02]: This one Omega, maybe by like a 10 or 15 degree difference, was able to tuck his head just as vision to avoid more of an impactful blow.

28:07.953 --> 28:10.214
[SPEAKER_02]: But yes, I audibly gasped on that as well.

28:10.954 --> 28:14.796
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I will readily admit, I was invested in the match.

28:15.036 --> 28:21.619
[SPEAKER_00]: I was ready to be sucked into it and be turned into a, uh, I still believe in this shit dammit.

28:23.816 --> 28:26.040
[SPEAKER_00]: And just the way that Kenny sold that arm.

28:26.180 --> 28:28.764
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh, no, oh, oh, god.

28:28.785 --> 28:34.915
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I thought the entire finish of that match was just pitch perfect.

28:36.375 --> 28:49.503
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I have a more of a gripe with the professional wrestling industry than I do with Will Osprey kicking out of Kenny Omega's finisher at two after 14 years.

28:50.544 --> 28:55.967
[SPEAKER_02]: I think if we hadn't been conditioned over these years, it finnishers don't mean a damn thing.

28:56.808 --> 28:59.709
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like Kenny's is the only one that actually meant something.

29:00.830 --> 29:05.452
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've almost felt that way for the last probably five, six years, like, is there another finisher in wrestling?

29:05.993 --> 29:07.573
[SPEAKER_02]: That it's like one time and it's over.

29:08.354 --> 29:12.816
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's maybe the only reason why I was just like, I hope I don't see it in this match.

29:13.716 --> 29:15.657
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and that's just something.

29:15.677 --> 29:19.559
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's just to kind of protect professional wrestling more or less.

29:20.119 --> 29:21.420
[SPEAKER_02]: Do I think it was a perfect moment to do it?

29:21.520 --> 29:21.800
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.

29:22.520 --> 29:25.102
[SPEAKER_02]: In a way, the only way I don't think it's perfect.

29:25.822 --> 29:29.383
[SPEAKER_02]: and this is what makes me a little bit concerned with Tony Conn and his booking.

29:30.203 --> 29:33.484
[SPEAKER_02]: When Hangman won that title last year, at all in in Texas.

29:34.484 --> 29:38.945
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought to myself, I'm like, this dude rescued AEW, his character definitely deserved it.

29:39.545 --> 29:44.566
[SPEAKER_02]: This dude's going to go on a monumental world title run, and then four months later it was gone.

29:45.706 --> 29:46.806
[SPEAKER_02]: And now he's back.

29:47.926 --> 29:49.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he's in trios getting eliminated.

29:49.827 --> 29:50.527
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that later.

29:51.955 --> 29:54.836
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope Osprey gets like a nine to 12 month run with this thing.

29:55.177 --> 30:00.259
[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Fletcher should be the one taking off of him and I'm hoping it's like revolution or something further.

30:01.059 --> 30:07.342
[SPEAKER_02]: But in order to really make will the guy you have to separate him just a little bit from everybody else.

30:08.102 --> 30:12.124
[SPEAKER_02]: And he is very, I mean, a lot of these guys are special.

30:13.085 --> 30:13.445
[SPEAKER_02]: Omega.

30:14.625 --> 30:15.946
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Osprey's up there too.

30:16.326 --> 30:17.467
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, paying man.

30:17.687 --> 30:20.008
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I still believe it in a way he's special.

30:20.462 --> 30:23.084
[SPEAKER_02]: You have like, square of an MJF, nose of your five.

30:23.605 --> 30:25.266
[SPEAKER_02]: Moxley, maybe.

30:25.907 --> 30:27.708
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, dude's bulldog tough.

30:27.888 --> 30:29.169
[SPEAKER_02]: He's shown it over the last year.

30:29.670 --> 30:30.911
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's your ace.

30:31.712 --> 30:32.132
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

30:33.213 --> 30:41.060
[SPEAKER_02]: I think will needs just this definitive title run to truly be like it.

30:41.740 --> 30:46.504
[SPEAKER_02]: The man that I thought we thought, Hangman was going to be at the end of last year.

30:47.365 --> 30:48.086
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you feel about that?

30:49.243 --> 30:54.901
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think one of the cool things about AW is that they let their wrestlers wrestle.

30:56.100 --> 31:03.081
[SPEAKER_00]: And so while you're watching title reigns and whatnot, you're seeing these guys wrestle the best of the best all the time.

31:03.801 --> 31:06.942
[SPEAKER_00]: So if they have a shorter title reign, it makes sense.

31:07.602 --> 31:10.803
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they're fighting the best of the best all the time.

31:11.223 --> 31:15.623
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason MJF had such a long title reign, never fucking wrestled during that thing.

31:15.743 --> 31:17.044
[SPEAKER_00]: It was basically just paper views.

31:17.764 --> 31:19.604
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was able to have a long title reign.

31:20.604 --> 31:22.685
[SPEAKER_00]: Hangman didn't for one.

31:26.769 --> 31:41.804
[SPEAKER_00]: getting finally, you know, getting over top of that mountain of moxley and getting that title back for a W that to me, that was the story, kind of everything afterwards is irrelevant for the most part.

31:42.124 --> 31:46.568
[SPEAKER_00]: It probably could have been better, but for I, I don't have a problem with it.

31:47.069 --> 31:48.210
[SPEAKER_00]: I would agree with Will

31:51.563 --> 32:02.849
[SPEAKER_00]: I probably wouldn't say year if only because of just the embarrassment of riches, they have and all the dudes that I want to see hold that world title.

32:03.630 --> 32:09.273
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I'd agree with you, maybe you should be called flat your next.

32:10.213 --> 32:14.315
[SPEAKER_00]: But I can't help to think about all the other guys that you'd mention that are in that top tier.

32:16.149 --> 32:18.891
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be interesting to see what they do with them.

32:19.292 --> 32:31.620
[SPEAKER_00]: I have confidence that they will put Osprey in that top spot with that spotlight and really make him look like, you know, the biggest deal in the company.

32:33.173 --> 32:46.024
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is something I want to save from Patreon on Thursday, and because I really want to think about this, where we've talked about, and you hear it a lot in wrestling, how the chase is almost better than the title reign itself once it's conquered.

32:47.425 --> 32:54.852
[SPEAKER_02]: Is there a case where the title reign, the title run actually lived up to the hype of the chase just to get it?

32:59.762 --> 33:20.136
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to think about it because if you think about all of the great title wins, I mean, I think few and far between actually had a good reign, you know, breads, first reign, sucked, uh, CM Punk winning at money in the bank against Cena, how soon after that did he lose it?

33:20.316 --> 33:22.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, over and over, uh,

33:24.602 --> 33:29.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Danielson, WrestleMania 30, obviously extending waiting circumstances there.

33:29.410 --> 33:36.723
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, over and over again, the baby faces tend to fall flat on their face after historic win.

33:37.852 --> 33:38.432
[SPEAKER_00]: it stinks.

33:39.892 --> 33:40.513
[SPEAKER_02]: It stinks.

33:40.573 --> 33:43.573
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Danielson, much to his, this is what he wanted.

33:43.973 --> 33:48.374
[SPEAKER_02]: He when he wanted in 24 at all in the moment was absolutely incredible.

33:48.834 --> 33:51.875
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody, I almost feel like the crowd wanted it more than he did.

33:52.275 --> 33:53.715
[SPEAKER_02]: Because fans wanted it more than he did.

33:54.735 --> 33:56.776
[SPEAKER_02]: Two months later, gone.

33:56.816 --> 34:01.097
[SPEAKER_02]: Hangman, this moment last year, gone in four months.

34:02.037 --> 34:04.137
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I said, I'd like to have, we'll shorten it.

34:04.157 --> 34:05.298
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll say six to nine months.

34:08.541 --> 34:12.109
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and Austin at WrestleMania, lost it to Cane.

34:14.094 --> 34:15.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Want it back to next night, but.

34:15.517 --> 34:17.040
[SPEAKER_00]: See, go, go see our Patreon.

34:17.180 --> 34:18.523
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about that recently.

34:19.347 --> 34:47.923
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I think that'll be a nice little history lesson for me later later this week on unplugged to try and uncover a rain that was just as good as the chase because people were starting to get swept up in the chase will aspirate did the mediates who are all week long, Ariel Hoani, just with a lot of English television stations, AEW even got his mom to sit in with him for three minutes and yeah, that was an incredibly touching story.

34:47.963 --> 34:48.623
[SPEAKER_02]: She's legit,

34:54.575 --> 34:54.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh-oh.

34:57.476 --> 34:57.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Hello?

34:58.616 --> 34:59.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm back.

35:00.096 --> 35:00.336
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

35:00.376 --> 35:00.757
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

35:00.837 --> 35:01.877
[SPEAKER_00]: You froze for a second there.

35:02.277 --> 35:02.597
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

35:03.477 --> 35:03.717
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

35:04.277 --> 35:11.719
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I would love to just have like 10 to 15 minutes with Will's mom to get more background on who he is.

35:12.299 --> 35:12.480
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

35:13.300 --> 35:18.901
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think they did a really good job of it all week long to make you feel when this moment actually happened.

35:19.381 --> 35:21.862
[SPEAKER_02]: So again, he kicked out of one wing angel.

35:23.307 --> 35:25.329
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not mind now looking back at it.

35:25.409 --> 35:29.132
[SPEAKER_02]: The first kick out at one with the one wing danger.

35:29.392 --> 35:34.636
[SPEAKER_02]: I felt that will was maybe for a good two minutes was on the defense event.

35:35.437 --> 35:37.098
[SPEAKER_02]: So this just kind of came out of nowhere.

35:38.299 --> 35:43.784
[SPEAKER_02]: The second one though, that's where I was just like, eh, which was out of the web.

35:43.824 --> 35:44.805
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that storm breaker?

35:45.385 --> 35:46.086
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the

35:50.013 --> 35:50.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

35:50.794 --> 35:53.778
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got to give, put respect on Kenny Omega's name.

35:53.918 --> 35:56.221
[SPEAKER_00]: That was all then stanked too much.

35:57.063 --> 35:57.463
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

35:58.465 --> 35:58.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Too much.

35:59.566 --> 36:00.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Perfect.

36:02.330 --> 36:04.332
[SPEAKER_02]: And then one hidden blade after that, and it was over.

36:06.616 --> 36:06.876
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

36:07.938 --> 36:10.840
[SPEAKER_02]: Barry's his head as he should have very tearful moment.

36:11.241 --> 36:13.983
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's probably 30 minutes to an hour.

36:14.943 --> 36:17.185
[SPEAKER_02]: He was probably crying probably the rest of the night at some point.

36:17.225 --> 36:19.187
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm just breaking down thinking about.

36:19.807 --> 36:31.356
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, thinking about where he came from, again, ADHD just dyslexia, just being a poor student wondering if it's like, yeah, his mom laughed at him.

36:31.376 --> 36:32.977
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to make the career out of this.

36:32.997 --> 36:34.758
[SPEAKER_02]: They built him a ring in his backyard.

36:35.819 --> 36:43.224
[SPEAKER_02]: was doing side jobs just to kind of continue to just make ends meet while he was still doing this wrestling thing.

36:44.765 --> 36:46.486
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, hey, and look where he is now.

36:46.907 --> 36:49.929
[SPEAKER_02]: AW World Heavyweight Champion.

36:50.689 --> 36:53.331
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll give you, go ahead, Justin.

36:54.612 --> 36:58.655
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I have a question for you coming out of this match.

37:04.455 --> 37:05.836
[SPEAKER_00]: is Will Osprey, your favorite wrestler?

37:06.296 --> 37:08.096
[SPEAKER_02]: Current, currently, absolutely.

37:08.877 --> 37:16.020
[SPEAKER_00]: You've been to multiple AW shows, and you have never seen Will Osprey live, correct?

37:16.660 --> 37:17.420
[SPEAKER_00]: That is correct.

37:18.641 --> 37:22.762
[SPEAKER_00]: You will be attending all out in Chicago, is that correct?

37:23.542 --> 37:24.303
[SPEAKER_00]: That is accurate.

37:26.684 --> 37:28.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Who would you like to see Osprey defend against?

37:29.105 --> 37:31.266
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think, obviously coming out of all in,

37:34.261 --> 37:43.186
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the realistic options are probably on draw day, moxley, and maybe MJF.

37:47.548 --> 37:50.729
[SPEAKER_02]: Selfishly, I would want moxley first.

37:51.230 --> 37:52.790
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, yeah, that was gonna be my call, too.

37:54.982 --> 38:01.104
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you can see this coming up here tomorrow night on Dynamite where they further this story.

38:01.124 --> 38:11.548
[SPEAKER_02]: I just think that those two, yeah, I mean even though Moxie gave him the flag to go ahead out there, there's still some unfinished business after that last month.

38:12.989 --> 38:35.626
[SPEAKER_02]: with them stopping hit them there sees me will stopping Kenny from getting a plastic bag the way that Brian Daniels and did a couple years ago and then Kenny out of nowhere just got pissed and turned on we're not turned on will but was being defensive because he saw what he saw on the moment so yeah I would say

38:39.290 --> 38:41.871
[SPEAKER_02]: I would not mind a Will Asprey on Droughty World Heavyweight.

38:41.891 --> 38:46.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, I think of the three, just strictly talking entering.

38:47.353 --> 38:48.533
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that'd be the best of them.

38:49.993 --> 38:50.093
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

38:51.514 --> 38:53.735
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is the most compelling on Droughty's ever been.

38:53.755 --> 38:57.096
[SPEAKER_02]: I think period end of discussion.

38:57.876 --> 38:58.796
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, easily.

38:59.737 --> 39:01.797
[SPEAKER_02]: And as much as I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing MJF.

39:01.877 --> 39:03.958
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's something you couldn't save for down the road.

39:05.538 --> 39:07.768
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're gonna kinda got to earn his way back.

39:07.849 --> 39:10.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Should we just dive into that match quick since we're already talking about it?

39:10.481 --> 39:10.682
[UNKNOWN]: Sure.

39:11.402 --> 39:16.326
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh man, and actually that's going to tie him perfectly, Tim over here.

39:16.746 --> 39:18.227
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, 110 percent.

39:18.828 --> 39:29.276
[SPEAKER_02]: Osprey needs to beat Kazuchko kind of finally, and I was calling for Ocada to enter this casino gauntlet and win it.

39:30.057 --> 39:32.158
[SPEAKER_02]: I was hoping that he would lose the match.

39:32.959 --> 39:33.659
[SPEAKER_02]: He would enter this

39:39.415 --> 39:39.815
[SPEAKER_02]: All out.

39:39.975 --> 39:47.240
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think if you wanted like a number one contender, like right for like the next four weeks, I personally would want Ocada.

39:48.480 --> 40:00.227
[SPEAKER_00]: That one probably deserves a little bit more build to it, especially considering Ocada is kind of tied up with Kyle Fletcher right now, which I guess maybe you can tie in that too.

40:01.728 --> 40:01.908
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

40:02.553 --> 40:13.475
[SPEAKER_02]: And as we've seen Tony Khan is not afraid to go champion versus champion, but the casino Gottlid match was one by Andrade parts of it.

40:13.535 --> 40:18.816
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked parts of it, same old tropes, guys lying around waiting on the outside, Justin Roberts.

40:18.876 --> 40:22.497
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved him calling Mystico Commander on accident.

40:22.557 --> 40:23.417
[SPEAKER_02]: That was great.

40:24.618 --> 40:26.198
[SPEAKER_02]: And finally, Mystico delivering.

40:26.418 --> 40:30.279
[SPEAKER_02]: You guessed it, Mystico was Kyle Ross on that call, you guessed it.

40:31.619 --> 40:41.243
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so 13 men entered and the way Andrade one was sweet at mjf gets control of Nick Wayne hits his heat seeker pile driver.

40:41.423 --> 40:47.105
[SPEAKER_02]: Andrade just comes out of nowhere delivers his spinning back elbow, which is one of my favorite setups and wrestling pins.

40:47.165 --> 40:49.246
[SPEAKER_02]: Nick Wayne wins the match.

40:51.167 --> 40:52.147
[SPEAKER_02]: You're thoughts on the match and

40:57.752 --> 41:24.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Now this might have been the low point of the night for me, and by low point, that is still a very high point, just considering this show, I am still a huge fan of the casino gauntlet match, they just need to, they is an AW tonic on need to restrict it to, preferably once maybe twice a year using it, obviously you can use it with the women too, I'm fine with that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not sure if I'm going to do that, but I'm not

41:25.833 --> 41:33.739
[SPEAKER_00]: This one felt a little lackluster for whatever reason I've not really been able to get into the Amdraude and MJF feud.

41:34.000 --> 41:35.481
[SPEAKER_00]: It has not really hit with me.

41:38.443 --> 41:51.133
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought, well, I liked that it quicken the pace of this match and save time the fact that Nick Wayne and Mark Davis just kind of showed

41:54.316 --> 42:11.283
[SPEAKER_00]: bright light of like maybe these guys probably shouldn't be in this match if they get they don't even deserve like a big entrance you know I think I think that says a lot obviously I'm not really super in a Jericho right now so I didn't really care about any of that stuff it's just I mean

42:21.436 --> 42:34.520
[SPEAKER_00]: 24 casino gallon still like one of legit one of my favorite matches of all time that is just one of the funnest things I've ever watched in my life and it has lost a lot of steam since then.

42:35.981 --> 42:48.705
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is a good way to get a bunch of people that quote unquote deserve to be on a big show like this onto the show without eating up a bunch of time so.

42:50.470 --> 43:01.249
[SPEAKER_00]: It right person one I look forward to in what I would assume to be in on dry day and offspring match, but when this match came on I just didn't care that much.

43:03.066 --> 43:07.049
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope, and I I told you guys in the in the in the private chat.

43:07.089 --> 43:12.053
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm I'm kind of done with the casino got it for now I just think yeah, it's run.

43:12.073 --> 43:24.403
[SPEAKER_02]: It's course you had a lot of midcarders in there the the match we're going to talk about next had almost had more performers worthy to be in it then this one Let's talk about it now the the trio's battle royal

43:26.142 --> 43:32.473
[SPEAKER_02]: you could argue there's guys there that were more worthy of being in this match and winning it and getting a shot at us right then who's in the match itself.

43:33.815 --> 43:34.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at the champions alone.

43:34.957 --> 43:37.442
[SPEAKER_02]: You got Hagueman page, Bandito and Brody King.

43:38.335 --> 43:43.799
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I missed the first, I think, 20 minutes or so, because I was at a fantasy football draft.

43:43.839 --> 43:47.241
[SPEAKER_02]: So I caught the last three minutes before they went live.

43:47.901 --> 43:50.483
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the whole paper view went live.

43:51.003 --> 43:54.305
[SPEAKER_02]: Outcomes were strickland with everybody in the ring.

43:54.886 --> 43:56.167
[SPEAKER_02]: Lights come on.

43:56.187 --> 44:01.030
[SPEAKER_02]: We get a little off from what I believe to be now is a sap and future.

44:03.271 --> 44:05.953
[SPEAKER_02]: Little, she came new level.

44:06.617 --> 44:08.318
[SPEAKER_02]: And outcomes, press start.

44:09.699 --> 44:11.319
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome, awesome, awesome, Creed and Kofi.

44:12.860 --> 44:13.761
[SPEAKER_02]: Formerly the new day.

44:14.441 --> 44:18.223
[SPEAKER_02]: Just dancing a little bit and awesome Get a little carried away grab in the camera.

44:19.924 --> 44:21.264
[SPEAKER_02]: He was just excited to be there.

44:21.284 --> 44:22.525
[SPEAKER_02]: That crowd lost it.

44:23.145 --> 44:24.126
[SPEAKER_02]: That was so fun to hear.

44:24.326 --> 44:26.747
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you guys pop pretty loud where you were.

44:27.247 --> 44:28.248
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

44:28.608 --> 44:29.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Incredible moment.

44:30.469 --> 44:31.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Well deserved for.

44:33.450 --> 44:43.499
[SPEAKER_00]: especially if you've heard any of their post-all-in interviews, well-deserved moment for just to my favorites.

44:43.599 --> 44:43.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I was all in.

44:47.293 --> 44:54.818
[SPEAKER_00]: pun not intended there on the new day as soon as they got together even when it was bad when they were like the gospel singers.

44:55.278 --> 44:59.902
[SPEAKER_00]: There was something about those three that just felt like this could be something more.

45:01.102 --> 45:12.010
[SPEAKER_00]: And for these guys to be so unfortunately disrespected by that other company on their way out, they admitted that they were asked to

45:17.638 --> 45:32.441
[SPEAKER_00]: to see them have this moment and knowing that they'll be able to use a little bit more of their creativity with the booking, I am really excited to see where this goes.

45:34.580 --> 45:51.097
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, they got in, they didn't necessarily clear house, but I mean, they definitely added a big infusion in there and getting down to the last six men you had Gabe kid, along with I believe it's Claudia and pack.

45:52.410 --> 45:58.017
[SPEAKER_00]: against Swerve, Kofi, and Austin Creed.

45:58.118 --> 46:05.067
[SPEAKER_02]: Kofi, what did she think of him getting knocked out of the ring and doing his WWE Royal Rumble gimmick?

46:05.687 --> 46:07.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Expected it, so it doesn't bother me.

46:08.030 --> 46:08.631
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't...

46:10.608 --> 46:14.170
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that Prince Nana was involved because I love Prince, Prince Nana.

46:14.350 --> 46:15.651
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is what it is.

46:15.771 --> 46:22.055
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it was, it was 20 seconds of a four hour and 15 minute show.

46:22.095 --> 46:25.658
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, that's not what I'm gonna nitpick if I'm gonna nitpick stuff.

46:26.498 --> 46:29.600
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy to see Nana break out some new dance moves now.

46:30.140 --> 46:30.481
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

46:31.331 --> 46:35.012
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he was busted out a lot of new dance moves when that song came on.

46:35.032 --> 46:39.434
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think he was just like throwing his hands up there and it's getting into it.

46:39.514 --> 46:45.716
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can tell that they're the four of them are really vibing together.

46:45.736 --> 46:52.558
[SPEAKER_00]: It was cool to see I because that was one of my reservations going in when it was pretty obvious that this is what it was going to be.

46:52.638 --> 46:58.880
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh gosh, it just feels wrong to have a trio of new day and a not be big

47:00.022 --> 47:03.785
[SPEAKER_00]: But it looks like, you know, they're all digging it.

47:03.825 --> 47:05.386
[SPEAKER_00]: So that'll, that'll be enough for me.

47:05.686 --> 47:18.475
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the weirdest thing about this match was, okay, for one, hang man, I'm very, guess for that matter, Brody and Brody Edo, getting eliminated pretty quickly.

47:18.816 --> 47:19.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

47:19.916 --> 47:26.801
[SPEAKER_00]: And Gabe Kid felt like he got quite a bit of shine in that match, especially being one of the last ones.

47:26.982 --> 47:27.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

47:29.337 --> 47:31.059
[SPEAKER_02]: They need to do something with him.

47:31.119 --> 47:36.583
[SPEAKER_02]: They need to distinguish if he's with the dogs, or if he's with the deaf writers instead of agreeing this in between thing.

47:37.004 --> 47:37.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Agreed.

47:38.145 --> 47:47.193
[SPEAKER_02]: So because, yeah, when he was down to it, maybe they could have had him start punching at Claudio and pack, who knows, there's many ways they could have gone with it here.

47:47.293 --> 47:56.461
[SPEAKER_02]: But, yes, Swerve and the new, a gash, the new level, it's gonna be hard for me to say, four, five, six different times.

47:56.981 --> 47:59.963
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the new level there, the new trio's champions.

48:00.023 --> 48:03.084
[SPEAKER_02]: What I want to see, there's two things I want to see from Kofi and Creed.

48:04.125 --> 48:06.126
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw a little bit in Creedness match.

48:06.226 --> 48:09.748
[SPEAKER_02]: He was able to expand a little bit on his offense.

48:10.048 --> 48:17.572
[SPEAKER_02]: I felt he looked a little more crisp and I think the other thing is Swerve has kind of a nasty streak to him.

48:18.652 --> 48:24.936
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of want to see an nasty streak with Austin Creed and Kofi as our characters start to warm up here in the coming months.

48:25.517 --> 48:26.137
[SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't hate it.

48:26.437 --> 48:34.843
[SPEAKER_00]: They've already been kind of insidiously going after the elite.

48:35.483 --> 48:38.785
[SPEAKER_00]: You watching their interviews or videos to Eric's point.

48:39.025 --> 48:40.966
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's that's the big thing.

48:41.186 --> 48:42.747
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we should all be excited about

48:44.033 --> 48:46.595
[SPEAKER_00]: fingers crossed that Kenny's okay, able to do it.

48:47.055 --> 48:58.383
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, that's the feud, especially, you know, already swirven, Kenny Omega got history going back to the spring when swirven kind of turned on them a little bit.

48:58.423 --> 49:01.825
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's gonna be, I'll be curious.

49:01.865 --> 49:04.567
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, can we get that for all out?

49:05.007 --> 49:05.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Or is that too soon?

49:07.165 --> 49:13.952
[SPEAKER_02]: I said that to my buddy who's a huge wrestling fan at the football draft and he says probably a little bit too soon, and I would agree with him sadly.

49:14.833 --> 49:15.174
[SPEAKER_02]: Damn it.

49:15.434 --> 49:18.737
[SPEAKER_02]: If we get brodido and hang man to go against those three.

49:18.957 --> 49:19.238
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all.

49:19.258 --> 49:20.239
[SPEAKER_02]: He's out of consolation.

49:20.259 --> 49:20.679
[SPEAKER_02]: Brass.

49:20.719 --> 49:21.040
[SPEAKER_00]: Take it.

49:21.380 --> 49:21.860
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take it.

49:22.261 --> 49:28.227
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but yeah, selfishly give me the elite versus Swerve, Kofi and Austin right away.

49:29.838 --> 49:30.258
[SPEAKER_02]: for real.

49:30.398 --> 49:32.520
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they could stack that card because no tomorrow.

49:32.780 --> 49:42.488
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's also what 27 days in between shows as opposed to two weeks or a week, got a little time to build, which is pretty nice on this.

49:43.149 --> 49:45.671
[SPEAKER_02]: We can speed through a little bit more coming on here.

49:46.651 --> 49:46.992
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go.

49:47.012 --> 49:48.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Can we go, can we go back to the top?

49:48.913 --> 49:53.417
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we're kind of doing a little disservice to the ladies by not talking about the

49:54.590 --> 49:55.670
[SPEAKER_02]: Women's World Championship.

49:55.690 --> 49:56.631
[SPEAKER_02]: We absolutely can.

49:56.791 --> 49:59.951
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll say if you wanted to close a show with it too, but yeah, let's let's do it.

50:00.671 --> 50:08.433
[SPEAKER_02]: Mercedes Mone is your new AEW women's champion in defeating Willow-Nighten Gail, who is legit injured.

50:09.334 --> 50:11.474
[SPEAKER_02]: Fought valiantly in this match.

50:11.714 --> 50:15.015
[SPEAKER_02]: There were a lot of and I didn't touch on this in the beginning.

50:15.475 --> 50:18.056
[SPEAKER_02]: Yet Osprey and Omega with their video features.

50:18.156 --> 50:23.397
[SPEAKER_02]: You also had one for Willow-Nighten Gail and Willow-Nighten Gail and Will Washington's daughter being the narrator.

50:23.997 --> 50:28.358
[SPEAKER_02]: for Willow on on the card.

50:28.878 --> 50:30.379
[SPEAKER_02]: But nonetheless, they killed it.

50:32.539 --> 50:33.099
[SPEAKER_02]: It very well.

50:33.279 --> 50:37.700
[SPEAKER_02]: Justin, Lord, yours on Monet and Willow.

50:37.980 --> 50:39.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Second best match of the night.

50:40.241 --> 50:42.261
[SPEAKER_00]: A match of the year, contender.

50:43.962 --> 50:45.162
[SPEAKER_00]: There is something.

50:48.719 --> 51:03.728
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of us were helping for Tecla to be more involved in the main event, picture coming into this show, but the in-ring chemistry between Mercedes and Willow is absolutely undeniable.

51:05.008 --> 51:07.410
[SPEAKER_00]: There's something special between those two.

51:08.410 --> 51:16.335
[SPEAKER_00]: It to me, and let me know if I'm wrong here, but it didn't feel like the moment

51:17.869 --> 51:18.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Mercedes.

51:19.250 --> 51:35.657
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if just because we were all anticipating, you know, offspring in the next match, but it felt a little underwhelming to me, just the coronation, just Mercedes becoming real champion and part of that is because

51:37.342 --> 51:45.146
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a little issue with the finish going back to, I think Tony Khan trying to keep this to his specified time limits, which is funny.

51:45.506 --> 51:50.229
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, here I am after basically every AEW paper you're complaining about how long they are.

51:50.629 --> 51:54.131
[SPEAKER_00]: They finally have a short one, and now I'm complaining about the way they shortened bit.

51:54.811 --> 51:59.834
[SPEAKER_00]: I needed a little bit more from that finish, it felt a little abrupt, where I needed

52:01.130 --> 52:06.156
[SPEAKER_00]: and Mercedes to really start smashing that hand and to actually see Willow fade.

52:06.336 --> 52:09.279
[SPEAKER_00]: It just felt like they called for the belt a little early.

52:09.960 --> 52:12.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Having said that, the match fucking ruled.

52:13.284 --> 52:19.751
[SPEAKER_00]: There is something about the way the sloppiness and the Mercedes match can either

52:20.893 --> 52:37.304
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of kill it or make it better because it feels a little bit more real like they're actually fighting and this is one of those instances where the sloppiness did not detract from the matchet hall and to me just added to it.

52:38.225 --> 52:44.129
[SPEAKER_00]: These ladies beat the shit out of themselves and yeah, just knocked it out of the park.

52:46.507 --> 52:54.414
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the way you just described it to, and I hate to make this comparison, because he was once one of my favorites, but yeah, Mercedes has some CM Punk tour.

52:54.914 --> 52:59.158
[SPEAKER_02]: She can make the ugly, very, very passable, make it look good.

52:59.358 --> 53:04.363
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, prime example, had money in the bank five star match that they had with Hesine and Punk.

53:04.443 --> 53:11.229
[SPEAKER_02]: There was some rough spots in there too, but story and everything was just so good that it became awful, almost better.

53:11.784 --> 53:18.009
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, as long as it makes sense in the flow of the match and doesn't take you out of it, it's fine.

53:18.169 --> 53:27.275
[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes it can take me out of the match, but this time it all felt in the flow of things.

53:27.776 --> 53:31.999
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it made sense of, oh, but yeah, why maybe that's not going to hit perfectly.

53:33.685 --> 53:50.154
[SPEAKER_00]: The busted nose added a lot to it, which was almost another reason why I didn't think I wish they wouldn't have had done blood in the main event, you know, I think that would have given a little bit more Oomph to this match, the fact that you know, they got it hard way.

53:51.470 --> 54:12.837
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, Willow did the sling shot on the outside or the, like the, the Claudio swing into the into the front row and yeah, busted Mercedes knows, oh, yeah, there was some definite physicality on in that one 22 minutes Mercedes is your new AW women's world champion and here's the thing seven seven title changes Justin that's

54:13.817 --> 54:19.504
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot of times to ask, and I know English people are different breeds, especially John Hope.

54:19.824 --> 54:27.153
[SPEAKER_02]: But 47,000 people, how many times can you get all the way up here, and then you got to come down eventually?

54:30.253 --> 54:33.877
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just so hard to do to put moment after moment after moment after moment after moment.

54:33.937 --> 54:44.231
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Willow's injury is just that serious I do I truly I thought in my heart of hearts that even though her hand is busted I I kind of thought Willow was still gonna retain here.

54:44.751 --> 54:48.055
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of people did I and I think part of that's because

54:49.481 --> 54:59.347
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the build was a little lacking, especially when you had Tecla who felt like she was a real rising star for her not to be involved.

54:59.387 --> 55:12.515
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it kind of took away from this match, unfortunately, but the ladies delivered in the ring in Mercedes's or new women's champ.

55:13.578 --> 55:21.557
[SPEAKER_02]: She gets a coronation tomorrow on Dynamite, so we'll see what the celebration looks like and Will Willow crash it and smash a cake in her face for the third or fourth time.

55:22.863 --> 55:29.827
[SPEAKER_02]: Mercedes has made mention of that and then a lot of interviews recently that Willow's just always been there when Mercedes has had a moment.

55:29.987 --> 55:32.048
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see where it goes.

55:32.468 --> 55:36.770
[SPEAKER_02]: Real fast, if you are on YouTube, please hit like that is very, very important.

55:36.790 --> 55:39.792
[SPEAKER_02]: Just helps us in the algorithm, because I see a pretty large audience here.

55:39.812 --> 55:43.414
[SPEAKER_02]: And I truly, we truly appreciate the support.

55:43.534 --> 55:49.097
[SPEAKER_02]: And the chat's been lit for the second week in a row that we've done a an episode or done a show.

55:49.117 --> 55:49.177
[SPEAKER_02]: So,

55:49.997 --> 55:51.818
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much for your participation.

55:51.838 --> 55:53.379
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to continue throwing some highlights up there.

55:54.200 --> 56:02.664
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, I want to go to one of my favorite spots at the entire night because it's the match that was before Willow and Mercedes was Kevin night and Darby Allen in the falls count anywhere.

56:03.425 --> 56:03.965
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.

56:04.265 --> 56:08.288
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I popped almost allowed us for this spot.

56:08.328 --> 56:11.009
[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin night in the outside, going to grab a table.

56:11.670 --> 56:12.590
[SPEAKER_02]: Darby out of nowhere,

56:14.051 --> 56:17.874
[SPEAKER_02]: Does the Sonic the Hedgehog directly into the table?

56:18.475 --> 56:21.358
[SPEAKER_02]: Knocked Kevin Knight over the table, does not break.

56:22.739 --> 56:23.680
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the thud.

56:23.840 --> 56:26.062
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just like, I popped so loud.

56:27.326 --> 56:28.507
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a fun match, too.

56:29.828 --> 56:30.489
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing.

56:31.029 --> 56:35.112
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the thing about this show as the way it was structured.

56:35.132 --> 56:38.515
[SPEAKER_00]: We're like the majority of AWS paper views.

56:39.335 --> 56:46.781
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like the goal is we're gonna give you 10 matches in their all gonna be at least four stars.

56:47.402 --> 56:48.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Whereas this show, it felt like

56:51.653 --> 57:10.392
[SPEAKER_00]: They structured it a little bit more like, you know, WWE where the thing I like is that it didn't feel like any of the undercard got the green light to have a main event style match and possibly over shadow the two actual

57:14.511 --> 57:17.312
[SPEAKER_00]: Every match was what it should have been.

57:17.572 --> 57:19.473
[SPEAKER_00]: And this one, just fun.

57:19.993 --> 57:20.913
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was just fun.

57:20.993 --> 57:23.014
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a blast with this match.

57:24.634 --> 57:26.715
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what I need to sit down and re-wash again.

57:27.115 --> 57:29.216
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause you're right, I had a absolute blast with it.

57:30.016 --> 57:36.118
[SPEAKER_02]: And sting, and Steve Borden Jr. Or Steve Borden, and Steve Borden Jr.

57:36.158 --> 57:37.259
[SPEAKER_02]: Both got involved in this match.

57:37.279 --> 57:37.699
[SPEAKER_00]: Staying Jr.

57:38.484 --> 57:42.907
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, almost the talks and this is a spit and image of his father.

57:42.967 --> 57:50.031
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty dude, he crazy to see it as someone who works out as often as you do.

57:51.472 --> 57:59.036
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you pop with the way that a sting junior just manhandled that giant ladder to set it up?

57:59.076 --> 58:00.597
[SPEAKER_00]: That was so impressive, man.

58:02.178 --> 58:03.639
[SPEAKER_00]: He almost played the NFL.

58:04.923 --> 58:12.806
[SPEAKER_02]: I read that he was a university of Kentucky tight-end, all the SEC, which SEC is the probably the best conference in America.

58:13.607 --> 58:15.528
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I mean, he's a hell of an athlete.

58:15.888 --> 58:21.510
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, he's green and he's 34, so we need to cut him some slack.

58:22.091 --> 58:26.492
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he's staying son, but he's got some charisma to him.

58:28.362 --> 58:33.386
[SPEAKER_00]: love that spot at, you know, the top of the match where he talked his dad down's like, no, dad, I got this.

58:33.426 --> 58:37.829
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me do this and made a hell of a jump to the outside.

58:37.849 --> 58:38.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, again,

58:40.908 --> 58:52.573
[SPEAKER_00]: This match was just kind of perfect for what it was supposed to be that that coffin drop on the stage, the way they mic that with the crunch sound and they didn't make it too obvious.

58:52.613 --> 58:56.334
[SPEAKER_00]: You could see the the cushion underneath, but it wasn't too obvious.

58:57.074 --> 58:58.635
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was all really well done.

58:59.736 --> 59:03.217
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably the 11th most dangerous thing Darby Allen is done this year.

59:04.250 --> 59:05.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.

59:07.331 --> 59:17.454
[SPEAKER_02]: TNT champion once again, and I think if I recall correctly, he was on the media scrum saying he was ready to do another challenge, or he was ready to test.

59:17.534 --> 59:18.194
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yes.

59:18.334 --> 59:19.114
[SPEAKER_02]: Open challenge.

59:19.134 --> 59:20.075
[SPEAKER_02]: Defending is title.

59:20.095 --> 59:20.675
[SPEAKER_02]: Sweetly.

59:21.355 --> 59:27.417
[SPEAKER_02]: even if it's by weekly man, I mean anytime you can get titled defenses on with that much action in it.

59:27.437 --> 59:35.059
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think I'll, I think all of us on the show would say that some of the most fun moments we've had was Darrys A. W. World title defenses this year.

59:35.599 --> 59:36.279
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

59:36.939 --> 59:41.661
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Eric in the chat, he, uh, regarding Steve Borden, he gets his reps on ROH.

59:42.101 --> 59:43.741
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's on damn near every

59:50.603 --> 59:53.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Sting's best entrance music.

59:54.547 --> 59:57.110
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe he did the same with our show as well, Eric.

59:57.370 --> 59:59.973
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he was like one of the first matches of our recall.

01:00:00.013 --> 01:00:00.894
[SPEAKER_00]: Can I remember though?

01:00:01.695 --> 01:00:03.857
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just some crazy spots once again.

01:00:03.917 --> 01:00:06.199
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Darby is our champion.

01:00:06.940 --> 01:00:07.721
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go backwards.

01:00:09.903 --> 01:00:11.745
[SPEAKER_02]: Adam Copeland and Christian retained.

01:00:12.904 --> 01:00:19.228
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's 20 minute affair, I think looking back at it to have an eighth title change would, you know, you know, I wouldn't have done too much.

01:00:19.348 --> 01:00:21.909
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's like there's a title.

01:00:21.929 --> 01:00:22.890
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to think of it as a title.

01:00:22.930 --> 01:00:24.030
[SPEAKER_02]: I would not have changed.

01:00:24.110 --> 01:00:25.371
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I would have kept it on Fletcher.

01:00:25.391 --> 01:00:26.272
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get to that in a minute.

01:00:26.332 --> 01:00:30.214
[SPEAKER_02]: But Copeland and Cage retaining here against the box.

01:00:30.254 --> 01:00:35.157
[SPEAKER_02]: The box, of course, get the childhood entrance stuff and they roll out.

01:00:35.577 --> 01:00:39.799
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they're the founding fathers of A. W. Long with Kenny and

01:00:40.980 --> 01:00:45.863
[SPEAKER_02]: the veterans prevail here and of course the moment we'll talk about at the very end with all the tag teams in the ring.

01:00:46.324 --> 01:00:47.024
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you take a match?

01:00:48.585 --> 01:00:49.166
[SPEAKER_02]: It was fine.

01:00:49.966 --> 01:01:05.377
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, the build up to this being a dream match didn't do much for me because outside of the TLC matches, what good tag matches have copen cage actually have.

01:01:05.437 --> 01:01:07.739
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're kind of as a tag team.

01:01:08.759 --> 01:01:09.479
[SPEAKER_00]: bit overrated.

01:01:10.560 --> 01:01:26.387
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely prefer them on their own, but in this current AW, I would prefer them as a team, so they're not taken up quite as much oxygen from everybody else, so I think this is a good use for them.

01:01:29.188 --> 01:01:30.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the match was fine.

01:01:31.798 --> 01:01:34.620
[SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of right there with the casino gauntland.

01:01:34.660 --> 01:01:37.381
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of just like, all right, let's get to the next part.

01:01:37.521 --> 01:01:47.807
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the after part with all the tag teams, kind of like shining a giant spotlight on, hey, tag team wrestling still alive and well.

01:01:48.988 --> 01:01:51.770
[SPEAKER_02]: The motor city machine guns coming out.

01:01:52.430 --> 01:01:57.133
[SPEAKER_02]: If you skip their Detroit, I believe is AEW collision debut.

01:01:59.352 --> 01:02:00.633
[SPEAKER_02]: where they just appeared.

01:02:00.653 --> 01:02:03.155
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is the only second time we've seen him on television.

01:02:03.515 --> 01:02:04.196
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was weird.

01:02:05.256 --> 01:02:07.618
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe who would have saved him for this moment?

01:02:08.459 --> 01:02:09.480
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I don't know.

01:02:09.900 --> 01:02:13.443
[SPEAKER_02]: There were, there's a decent amount of debut and reappearances as well in this though.

01:02:13.743 --> 01:02:17.025
[SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of which, your Rev Pro tag team champions, FTR.

01:02:18.727 --> 01:02:20.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm surprised they weren't on the card.

01:02:20.708 --> 01:02:23.110
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm glad they at least got to come out.

01:02:23.675 --> 01:02:29.498
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, they hit the ring, wearing their valveline style shirts and with their name tags on them.

01:02:30.258 --> 01:02:41.203
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we get for the second time, Austin and Kofi coming down with their trios, champion chips in tow, coming into the ring, we get a stator down and Copeland and Christian leave the ring.

01:02:44.325 --> 01:02:46.146
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, what do we do?

01:02:46.446 --> 01:02:47.486
[SPEAKER_02]: Cop Cage versus who?

01:02:48.607 --> 01:02:49.087
[SPEAKER_02]: That all out.

01:02:54.150 --> 01:03:10.685
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I feel it's a little too early to go back to FTR, so I guess just go with an install jacked with motorceded machine guns, get that out of the way.

01:03:11.726 --> 01:03:12.006
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

01:03:13.824 --> 01:03:30.281
[SPEAKER_02]: give them the opportunity to do what they didn't ww in when they're when the tag team titles I mean they're not going to but I would win it on their third or fourth appearance with the company tag tournament well I mean tell me loves the tournaments that's for sure so

01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:43.642
[SPEAKER_02]: And in the press are also, uh, Swerve, Kofi and Austin Creed all said, uh, just because they have the trio's titles does not mean they're they're going to be chasing individuals or tag gold because they will be there they're aiming to dominate.

01:03:44.455 --> 01:03:49.076
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what their characters are going to continue to show, hopefully, with the course of the next up, 365 days and beyond.

01:03:49.276 --> 01:03:51.337
[SPEAKER_02]: So, all right, we hit that one.

01:03:51.777 --> 01:03:54.898
[SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of short, and I guess we're kind of happy.

01:03:54.958 --> 01:03:55.498
[SPEAKER_02]: It was short.

01:03:56.859 --> 01:03:59.999
[SPEAKER_02]: Kizuchko Kato winning the AWS International Championship.

01:04:00.380 --> 01:04:05.981
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the highlights of the match was Kyle Fletcher, paying homage in the beginning to show Michaels by superkicking Kato out of the ring.

01:04:07.262 --> 01:04:07.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Loved it.

01:04:09.822 --> 01:04:17.430
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a perfect example of, you know, you don't have to go 15, 20, 25 minutes to have a memorable match.

01:04:17.911 --> 01:04:23.056
[SPEAKER_00]: This was just all haymakers, you know, hump, home, run shots.

01:04:24.948 --> 01:04:52.555
[SPEAKER_00]: All of them going forward, my favorite part was the finish where O'Cotta got the rainmaker, almost went like he was going to try and cover to Kesta, but then stopped and covered Kyle Fletcher, who's like, oh, okay, I see that Mr. Kazuchka, a nice little way to keep that feudal live and well, and then you had all the post match stuff, but yeah, this is what I mean, I think this was sub-14 minutes.

01:04:54.415 --> 01:05:17.909
[SPEAKER_02]: uh pitch perfect especially with three heavy hitters like that yeah yeah you'd expect them to go marathon like 25 plus but it worked right it wouldn't you agree and you save stuff for the future yeah i think gosh i i feel mode there's some matches out there where you just throw bombs right away and it's done in less than 10

01:05:20.046 --> 01:05:28.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Just that is the biggest thing AW could work on is like we don't need every match on a pay for you to be 15 to 20 minutes.

01:05:28.830 --> 01:05:33.732
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because I mean, in a different light, this one could have easily stolen the show and been matched with the night, but it didn't need to.

01:05:34.152 --> 01:05:34.332
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

01:05:35.533 --> 01:05:39.095
[SPEAKER_02]: And Okada by far is my favorite little shit in the entire promotion.

01:05:40.235 --> 01:05:44.157
[SPEAKER_00]: He is shockingly a great comedy wrestler.

01:05:46.020 --> 01:05:46.520
[SPEAKER_00]: Go figure.

01:05:46.540 --> 01:05:47.681
[SPEAKER_00]: You probably got it from Turaliano.

01:05:51.584 --> 01:05:52.325
[SPEAKER_02]: Last one.

01:05:55.447 --> 01:05:55.928
[SPEAKER_02]: Last two.

01:05:56.608 --> 01:05:56.828
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

01:05:57.189 --> 01:05:57.809
[SPEAKER_02]: Did I skip one?

01:05:59.170 --> 01:06:01.852
[SPEAKER_02]: I know where I was going back to the Brawling Birds.

01:06:04.054 --> 01:06:04.755
[SPEAKER_00]: What was my mistake?

01:06:04.775 --> 01:06:05.515
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it.

01:06:06.976 --> 01:06:10.259
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was kind of just like the triple threat.

01:06:11.260 --> 01:06:14.641
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly what it needed to be, uh, right team one.

01:06:15.161 --> 01:06:15.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

01:06:15.641 --> 01:06:20.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it was exceptional by any means, uh, but it didn't have to be.

01:06:20.623 --> 01:06:21.383
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't over stay.

01:06:21.403 --> 01:06:22.143
[SPEAKER_00]: It's welcome.

01:06:23.243 --> 01:06:28.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Just four ladies beating the shit out of each other for 10 minutes with the right team winning.

01:06:28.505 --> 01:06:29.925
[SPEAKER_00]: So it worked for me.

01:06:30.385 --> 01:06:31.185
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I wanted.

01:06:31.886 --> 01:06:32.826
[SPEAKER_02]: That's really what I wanted.

01:06:34.246 --> 01:06:36.627
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, like I said, I want to find out if Megan Bain can talk.

01:06:37.083 --> 01:06:40.227
[SPEAKER_02]: And I want to find out if the crowd get behind her in some way shape or form.

01:06:40.708 --> 01:06:44.392
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to see her kind of thrown into a title situation here.

01:06:44.813 --> 01:06:47.516
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to think that that's where it's going to be going from here.

01:06:47.676 --> 01:06:50.580
[SPEAKER_00]: You just separate them and see what she can do.

01:06:51.255 --> 01:06:54.419
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure Lena can probably do some damage on her own.

01:06:54.459 --> 01:07:06.192
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's not often you get two women that are five-tener or taller that can move the way they do and just have such an imposing figure, I would say, on stage, was there other match you want to talk about?

01:07:06.532 --> 01:07:08.735
[SPEAKER_02]: You forgot about the prestigious.

01:07:10.071 --> 01:07:11.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Continental Challenge Cup, my buddy.

01:07:12.051 --> 01:07:12.992
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no shit.

01:07:13.652 --> 01:07:17.032
[SPEAKER_02]: How in the world, in Alpihonis, because I love the match?

01:07:17.413 --> 01:07:18.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes!

01:07:19.453 --> 01:07:35.916
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm so thankful to hear that, because I know a lot of people were kind of down on it, coming in that maybe not very high on Nigel right now, you know, obviously his best days are behind him, but I had to be outside of the two main event matches.

01:07:36.396 --> 01:07:38.037
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this was my fair match tonight.

01:07:40.243 --> 01:07:50.130
[SPEAKER_00]: It was great that entire sequence with Nigel trying to reach the rope and the camera work and that entire sequence I thought was amazing.

01:07:51.291 --> 01:08:07.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Great story, you know, the countrymen trying to win this title in this cup in front of his nation and that ankle injury not letting it happen and in mocks taking full advantage of it.

01:08:07.523 --> 01:08:09.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love this match, I thought it was really good.

01:08:11.179 --> 01:08:19.642
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh man, all the submissions in this, and Nigel breaking the Bulldog choke with the chin into the nerve.

01:08:19.882 --> 01:08:26.064
[SPEAKER_02]: I've just sent up to his neck and mocks just sold it like it was just one of the most painful things he had endured.

01:08:26.084 --> 01:08:27.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:08:27.604 --> 01:08:30.425
[SPEAKER_02]: Just the little things, it's like the joint manipulation.

01:08:32.022 --> 01:08:43.652
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, but this is where like mocks his love for mixed martial arts, where he can blend it into professional wrestling, I think a lot of the people have found it boring at times over the last 11 months.

01:08:43.752 --> 01:08:44.432
[SPEAKER_02]: I've enjoyed it.

01:08:46.694 --> 01:08:47.595
[SPEAKER_02]: I really have.

01:08:47.875 --> 01:08:58.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree, and he mixes in a little bit of the cornball selling stuff, which he's really embraced since all in last year, it all really worked on me.

01:09:00.015 --> 01:09:05.358
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because the matches he had with Kyle O'Reilly in the past, those submission matches have been real fun.

01:09:05.938 --> 01:09:13.942
[SPEAKER_02]: And I agree with you, because I mean, Nigel before this match had not been really wrestling that well.

01:09:14.322 --> 01:09:19.845
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't expect a fifth year old commentator to be putting on legendary performances right now in the stage of his career.

01:09:20.335 --> 01:09:21.016
[SPEAKER_02]: Just one of those.

01:09:21.056 --> 01:09:21.856
[SPEAKER_02]: He's back home.

01:09:21.876 --> 01:09:30.322
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he's going to quietly hang it up and maybe also one of my favorite moments of the night was Nigel in the wheel chair at ring side for the main event.

01:09:32.183 --> 01:09:33.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, loved it.

01:09:33.724 --> 01:09:39.368
[SPEAKER_00]: In for anybody listening what not watching what Eric said was I repeat, I like Nigel.

01:09:39.489 --> 01:09:41.090
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm over the last chance angle.

01:09:41.610 --> 01:09:42.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:09:44.932 --> 01:09:45.173
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

01:09:46.764 --> 01:09:57.932
[SPEAKER_00]: This one worked for me, you know, especially it being in his home country and in Nigel kind of like, you know, Kenny is best days are far behind them obviously.

01:09:57.952 --> 01:09:59.893
[SPEAKER_00]: There's huge difference between those two right now.

01:10:00.433 --> 01:10:05.196
[SPEAKER_00]: But Nigel doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank.

01:10:05.256 --> 01:10:10.360
[SPEAKER_00]: So I did not mind him getting this moment and especially having, you know,

01:10:11.855 --> 01:10:12.835
[SPEAKER_00]: having seen the match.

01:10:13.236 --> 01:10:17.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy he got to have one last classic in front of a big crowd.

01:10:18.338 --> 01:10:20.519
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure did, especially on his home turf.

01:10:20.559 --> 01:10:21.419
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Tim.

01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:23.100
[SPEAKER_02]: He has definitely no pat McAfee.

01:10:23.160 --> 01:10:32.284
[SPEAKER_02]: He's also no nick of all this either, who's a fellow countryman who hadn't wrestled in three years and was blown up in the first couple of minutes, at least Nigel could hold his own end.

01:10:33.064 --> 01:10:33.845
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold his lunch in.

01:10:35.085 --> 01:10:36.366
[SPEAKER_02]: for these types of matches.

01:10:36.787 --> 01:10:41.530
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I like I said that the submission work was yeah, very endearing to me.

01:10:42.171 --> 01:10:46.274
[SPEAKER_02]: So many different styles on this show and that's what made it so memorable.

01:10:46.694 --> 01:11:01.686
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yeah, yeah, top notch storytelling in the main event and just beat down like the just the women's match I mentioned before this like just the physical nature, then you just, yeah, same thing with Fletcher, O'Cada, it's a Keshita just hey,

01:11:03.621 --> 01:11:28.851
[SPEAKER_02]: there really is a much more to be said about the show except for yeah this was definitely in a show was it your show of the year so far i guess will be the last question i ask yes okay all to think of that one i'm just a sucker for like especially now that i don't watch w ve you know i haven't seen a wrestle mania in a couple years now

01:11:30.295 --> 01:11:36.881
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm a sucker for the pageantry, for the big entrances and all of that stuff.

01:11:37.001 --> 01:11:40.725
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is where I get that fixed now, is from all in.

01:11:41.345 --> 01:11:45.609
[SPEAKER_00]: And it has for me absolutely delivered these past two years.

01:11:46.610 --> 01:11:53.236
[SPEAKER_02]: And with the exception of Fletcher's superkick to Ocata, I felt that the camera work on this night was top notch.

01:11:55.029 --> 01:11:56.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, agree.

01:11:57.032 --> 01:11:58.995
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they resuming in at the right angles.

01:11:59.416 --> 01:12:04.864
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I felt all the time you mentioned it with Nigel like his finger tips were like right at that camera.

01:12:04.884 --> 01:12:06.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's good to get there.

01:12:06.427 --> 01:12:07.108
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to get there.

01:12:07.228 --> 01:12:09.491
[SPEAKER_02]: He's good to get there.

01:12:10.292 --> 01:12:15.257
[SPEAKER_02]: I am with you, Eric, except for me, it's double or nothing for right now.

01:12:15.657 --> 01:12:17.138
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd have to go back and watch that again.

01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:19.440
[SPEAKER_02]: Dinosaur, double or nothing all in.

01:12:19.580 --> 01:12:25.225
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's all in, double or nothing are one, two, and I'd have to decide on the given day, which one I like more.

01:12:26.246 --> 01:12:31.950
[SPEAKER_00]: I would double or nothing, would possibly be the next one for me.

01:12:32.191 --> 01:12:34.453
[SPEAKER_00]: Boy, we're running starting to run long here, but yeah,

01:12:38.706 --> 01:12:39.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, there's a pig one.

01:12:40.387 --> 01:12:41.148
[SPEAKER_00]: Bring baggers back.

01:12:41.668 --> 01:12:42.268
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

01:12:43.609 --> 01:12:44.409
[SPEAKER_02]: That's interesting.

01:12:44.970 --> 01:12:48.032
[SPEAKER_02]: My gosh, she's been gone since the all into years ago.

01:12:48.692 --> 01:12:49.613
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been two years?

01:12:49.793 --> 01:12:49.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

01:12:50.053 --> 01:12:51.334
[SPEAKER_02]: Holy cow.

01:12:52.434 --> 01:12:54.135
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, she's like the lead.

01:12:54.155 --> 01:12:55.276
[SPEAKER_02]: She's ever been in her life.

01:12:55.296 --> 01:12:58.978
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you've seen photos of her recently, what do you think of that?

01:12:59.058 --> 01:13:02.640
[SPEAKER_02]: Helping Persephone when the TBS title over my world?

01:13:02.660 --> 01:13:04.081
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a quick, quick run for her.

01:13:05.022 --> 01:13:05.482
[SPEAKER_00]: I was,

01:13:06.939 --> 01:13:16.243
[SPEAKER_00]: surprised to see her back considering all the quote unquote rumors we've heard that maybe she's not super liked or wasn't really welcomed.

01:13:17.344 --> 01:13:25.868
[SPEAKER_00]: Backstage, having said that, a Ryan's daughter, if you're listening, earmuffs.

01:13:27.528 --> 01:13:28.369
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't really give a shit.

01:13:28.889 --> 01:13:34.554
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not a huge brick baker fan haven't really cared about her since the initial funder rose a program.

01:13:35.815 --> 01:13:37.576
[SPEAKER_00]: She's just not really my cup of tea.

01:13:39.478 --> 01:13:40.899
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we do with this women's division?

01:13:42.620 --> 01:13:46.023
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now, Mercedes is almost in an island by herself.

01:13:47.164 --> 01:13:47.664
[SPEAKER_02]: With the living.

01:13:47.684 --> 01:13:49.086
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, Jared, where's Tecla?

01:13:49.666 --> 01:13:52.228
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're building Tecla in Mercedes.

01:13:53.069 --> 01:13:54.190
[SPEAKER_00]: You gotta work out the,

01:13:55.563 --> 01:14:01.869
[SPEAKER_00]: dynamics of baby face and heel because they're both obviously better as heels, so I don't know what you do there.

01:14:03.410 --> 01:14:08.315
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because I mean, maybe maybe you have Bailey coming a little bit.

01:14:09.736 --> 01:14:10.176
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see.

01:14:10.296 --> 01:14:11.838
[SPEAKER_02]: There's room where she's resigning.

01:14:12.799 --> 01:14:13.299
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, really?

01:14:14.460 --> 01:14:15.181
[SPEAKER_00]: What a nerd.

01:14:15.501 --> 01:14:16.422
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.

01:14:18.403 --> 01:14:18.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

01:14:18.843 --> 01:14:29.988
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like I mentioned on my last unplugged of keep a quick with all the ROH guys from like 2010 it feels like except for Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane It's a guy that I'd love for them to be in this promotion right now, too.

01:14:30.208 --> 01:14:31.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Just treat it out of the ROH heavy.

01:14:32.449 --> 01:14:45.234
[SPEAKER_02]: I died digress Yeah, that was a four hour and 15 minute show that While at times I was distracted I was locked in when I needed to be and I got a little bit of a rewatch yesterday as well to catch up on the moments that I really wanted to so

01:14:46.509 --> 01:14:48.230
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a my gosh.

01:14:48.250 --> 01:14:54.895
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a huge future coming up with all out for us coming up in 25 days.

01:14:56.296 --> 01:14:59.018
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, you you spoken some things into fruition.

01:14:59.579 --> 01:15:02.781
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you foresee for the immediate future for Dynamite tomorrow?

01:15:05.163 --> 01:15:10.727
[SPEAKER_00]: I would assume we will have our direction for the men's world title at all out.

01:15:10.947 --> 01:15:11.307
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be

01:15:16.958 --> 01:15:18.879
[SPEAKER_00]: trying to get more butts in those seats.

01:15:18.919 --> 01:15:21.320
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's selling good, the show.

01:15:21.580 --> 01:15:23.161
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's quite a sellout yet.

01:15:23.301 --> 01:15:35.786
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would do everything possible to get eyeballs on that show, beans that, the evil empires, running a show on the same night.

01:15:37.287 --> 01:15:39.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of which, we got to talk about NXT, he wave.

01:15:40.508 --> 01:15:41.108
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's right, good.

01:15:41.128 --> 01:15:42.269
[SPEAKER_02]: Another 45 minutes left.

01:15:42.729 --> 01:15:45.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Your thoughts on a candle grace title defense.

01:15:47.178 --> 01:15:49.139
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I had no idea that show was happening.

01:15:49.599 --> 01:15:50.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.

01:15:50.600 --> 01:16:04.286
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, from what I saw, yeah, there and, by the way, in the views, the all-in-scrum, after 22 hours, I think had like 500,000 views on YouTube, and XT's Heat Wave card in 15 hours had about 47,000 views.

01:16:05.086 --> 01:16:08.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my heart just grew three sizes bigger.

01:16:08.908 --> 01:16:09.388
[SPEAKER_00]: There's hope.

01:16:12.150 --> 01:16:14.431
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think they're going to sell more tickets now.

01:16:14.611 --> 01:16:29.298
[SPEAKER_02]: My goodness, I think all out was like a it's only at about 775 hundred, but they have been moving insane numbers these last two weeks of shows to where I think when we get up to the series or the now arena probably be in the midnines.

01:16:29.358 --> 01:16:34.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I would assume So 10 would would love to see a hyped crowd for that show.

01:16:35.461 --> 01:16:35.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.

01:16:35.861 --> 01:16:36.802
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be brilliant.

01:16:38.238 --> 01:16:43.322
[SPEAKER_02]: Well folks, I'll run this one last time before we close the show.
