[SPEAKER_03]: Justin, welcome to the show, sir.

02:39.097 --> 02:39.897
[SPEAKER_02]: How's it going, boys?

02:41.538 --> 02:42.358
[SPEAKER_03]: Look at that.

02:42.378 --> 02:43.198
[SPEAKER_03]: Look at that.

02:43.238 --> 02:45.699
[SPEAKER_03]: That's Justin's as it's his other room.

02:45.819 --> 02:47.659
[SPEAKER_03]: He podcast from sometimes in the weekend.

02:47.679 --> 02:48.840
[SPEAKER_03]: He'll be live from this area.

02:49.180 --> 02:52.180
[SPEAKER_02]: This is where I pod when the family's not here.

02:52.681 --> 02:53.241
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

02:53.461 --> 02:54.041
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, indeed.

02:54.061 --> 02:56.101
[SPEAKER_03]: We got the nice deck view behind Justin.

02:56.422 --> 02:58.162
[SPEAKER_03]: How are you doing this Thursday, evening, Justin?

02:59.081 --> 02:59.701
[SPEAKER_02]: Not too bad.

02:59.921 --> 03:04.203
[SPEAKER_02]: I am tired, been a long week, solo parenting tonight.

03:04.444 --> 03:09.526
[SPEAKER_02]: If you hear a slight hissing noise, that would be the baby monitor.

03:10.006 --> 03:19.611
[SPEAKER_02]: I had to get him down tonight, which is normally what my wife does, and not fun, because he is a huge mama's boy.

03:19.711 --> 03:24.293
[SPEAKER_02]: So he didn't really have much interest in me putting him bed, but I think we did it.

03:25.427 --> 03:27.288
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, yes, oh, hopefully he is down.

03:27.348 --> 03:30.089
[SPEAKER_03]: And as I said, we're talking double or nothing here.

03:30.109 --> 03:31.169
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to do our predictions.

03:31.189 --> 03:32.529
[SPEAKER_03]: Give it mostly our thoughts.

03:32.589 --> 03:37.791
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, a lot of this is probably going to center around the main event, the world title.

03:38.511 --> 03:41.872
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's do what's in the glass or the can, though, Justin's holding his up right there.

03:41.992 --> 03:47.034
[SPEAKER_03]: I see Justin, you know, I recommend you to do that beer, you appear to be a big fan of it.

03:47.514 --> 03:48.274
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I am.

03:48.534 --> 03:50.095
[SPEAKER_02]: I am enjoying it very much.

03:50.995 --> 04:00.600
[SPEAKER_03]: I actually thought of bugging another pack of it when I was at our local liquor spot the other day didn't end up doing that, but I got a kind of an old classic a good easy drinking summer beer.

04:00.800 --> 04:02.221
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the gum ball head.

04:02.981 --> 04:03.701
[SPEAKER_03]: Three fluids.

04:03.881 --> 04:07.703
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, one of the all-time great beer cans Illustrated wise.

04:07.943 --> 04:08.664
[SPEAKER_03]: What about you, Jesse?

04:08.684 --> 04:10.105
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you recently received a gift.

04:10.145 --> 04:11.945
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you are you sipping on that tonight or no?

04:12.386 --> 04:14.247
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm saving it for special occasions.

04:14.727 --> 04:15.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

04:15.047 --> 04:15.667
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm home.

04:15.707 --> 04:16.828
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot wait to try it.

04:18.305 --> 04:21.026
[SPEAKER_01]: such as the next edition of TRN Classics, perhaps?

04:21.306 --> 04:22.106
[SPEAKER_03]: That is correct.

04:22.787 --> 04:23.287
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

04:24.127 --> 04:26.228
[SPEAKER_03]: We got another one of those coming for patrons very soon.

04:26.308 --> 04:27.548
[SPEAKER_03]: Jesse just dropped this week.

04:27.588 --> 04:30.089
[SPEAKER_03]: Another edition of TRN Unplugged.

04:30.349 --> 04:33.010
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys join the Patreon if you're not already over there.

04:33.030 --> 04:34.871
[SPEAKER_03]: You get all the bonus content from us.

04:34.891 --> 04:38.632
[SPEAKER_03]: An archive that is, I don't even know how many.

04:38.712 --> 04:42.433
[SPEAKER_03]: We're getting close to 200 bonus shows over the Patreon archive.

04:42.453 --> 04:43.354
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the only place.

04:44.134 --> 04:52.521
[SPEAKER_03]: that you can get TRN classes where we review info, old wrestling shows, that feed might be getting more active here in the weeks to come.

04:52.901 --> 04:56.404
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe even introducing a new show, stay tuned on that.

04:56.784 --> 05:01.908
[SPEAKER_03]: And then TRN plugged this TRN unplugged is pretty much every single week.

05:02.168 --> 05:03.909
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, you can support us on YouTube.

05:03.949 --> 05:07.672

[SPEAKER_03]: appreciate that podcast feeds as well, subscribe, five stars, all that jazz, support the show, toprotonation.com, find our merch over there.

05:21.458 --> 05:24.020
[SPEAKER_01]: It's some of the finest people from the United Kingdom moving west.

05:25.061 --> 05:25.581
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

05:25.922 --> 05:26.442
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

05:27.603 --> 05:32.046
[SPEAKER_03]: And with that said, let me ask you boys, is MJ F gonna be bald after Sunday night?

05:33.527 --> 05:34.708
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a hot topic right now.

05:38.556 --> 05:56.874
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I like what they did this Wednesday by having Roosh Challenge Derby for next week, which kind of plants the seed in your head that well could Derby possibly retain, but I just don't think there's any way that's going to happen.

05:57.055 --> 05:57.915
[SPEAKER_02]: He has had

05:59.008 --> 06:06.894
[SPEAKER_02]: an absolutely incredible memorable run here with the world title, but that's going to come to it end at double or nothing.

06:07.194 --> 06:15.861
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's gotten pretty old, but all the baby faces have been jabbing MJF about his new Turkish hair.

06:17.653 --> 06:22.216
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's probably true, and I'm not taking shots or anything.

06:22.256 --> 06:31.402
[SPEAKER_02]: If I had that kind of money, I'd probably go over Turkey and get some fresh new hair on top of my head, but I just don't see any scenario where M.J.F.

06:31.462 --> 06:32.723
[SPEAKER_02]: is going to lose his hair.

06:32.743 --> 06:35.064
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think, Jesse?

06:36.525 --> 06:39.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot envision him with his dome.

06:39.867 --> 06:44.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you put a really good header for tonight's YouTube.

06:45.297 --> 07:02.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I, yeah, I don't know how in the world can be able to pull that off and to echo just in sentiment sees defending it once the twice a week ever since he won the championship and it's been the highlight, I would say of 85% of those shows, just the miraculous nature.

07:02.801 --> 07:09.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of the wheels started falling off in the same a Guevara match where he almost passed out in the middle of a scorpion deathlock.

07:09.522 --> 07:10.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing was happening.

07:14.783 --> 07:16.365
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's New York City.

07:16.946 --> 07:22.433
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, uh, yeah, it's Max's home state and I Darby's runs been memorable.

07:22.493 --> 07:24.415
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't know.

07:24.535 --> 07:25.116
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't envision it.

07:25.136 --> 07:25.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially with movie roles.

07:25.977 --> 07:26.598
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the other thing.

07:27.883 --> 07:32.686
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, the only way would be if he has a movie roll coming up that requires him to shave his head.

07:33.066 --> 07:36.048
[SPEAKER_03]: Otherwise, I just, you know, it wouldn't even really.

07:36.088 --> 07:38.610
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they obviously, you don't actually have to shave your head.

07:38.630 --> 07:39.650
[SPEAKER_03]: They can cover up the hair, too.

07:39.710 --> 07:43.893
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I have a hard time believing it's going to happen either.

07:43.913 --> 07:46.535
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to show off the thumbnail on the stream.

07:46.575 --> 07:48.416
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just, I was so proud of that.

07:51.517 --> 07:54.278
[SPEAKER_03]: That MJ of bald modification.

07:55.339 --> 07:55.759
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.

07:56.099 --> 07:59.260
[SPEAKER_03]: Kind of looks like a proud version of Steve Austin, maybe.

07:59.760 --> 08:01.160
[SPEAKER_03]: I like it.

08:01.500 --> 08:03.461
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so I don't think so either.

08:03.661 --> 08:06.742
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I think MJ wins the title back.

08:07.102 --> 08:13.044
[SPEAKER_03]: We've kind of been saying it ever since Darby won the title that this was just going to be a short term run.

08:14.124 --> 08:15.525
[SPEAKER_03]: And ultimately,

08:16.432 --> 08:24.075
[SPEAKER_03]: he would drop it probably back to mjf unless they did something with Kenny, but I think it makes a lot of sense.

08:24.195 --> 08:26.216
[SPEAKER_03]: MJF was doing such a good job as champion.

08:26.236 --> 08:30.918
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of the metrics he's still doing an outstanding job out there doing media.

08:31.838 --> 08:38.681
[SPEAKER_03]: Clearly one of the major players for them moving forward and I think it makes sense to put it back on him over the summer.

08:42.817 --> 08:56.330
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk about that here in a little bit too, but my prediction is, I mean, there's a small, small piece of me that wonders, but I, you know, push comes to shove now.

08:56.370 --> 08:58.052
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I think MJF wins the title back.

08:59.112 --> 09:01.294
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be interesting, it'd be a cool wrinkle.

09:01.314 --> 09:05.419
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where you would go with it, who Darby would defend it against, that will be Roosh, but who would you defend it after that?

09:05.439 --> 09:06.780
[SPEAKER_01]: And trying to fantasy book what that would look like.

09:06.800 --> 09:07.861
[SPEAKER_01]: Was that MJF's real head, by the way?

09:07.881 --> 09:08.502
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a really large cranium.

09:08.522 --> 09:18.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

09:18.432 --> 09:24.115
[SPEAKER_03]: I may have used a little AI to modify and make them bald in making that thumbnail, yes, yes.

09:24.415 --> 09:27.757
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what, I'm not a huge AI guy, but once in a while, it comes in handy.

09:28.478 --> 09:31.239
[SPEAKER_03]: And it came in handy for that picture of MJF for sure.

09:31.259 --> 09:32.700
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure they're not pretty good.

09:33.784 --> 09:35.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me just put that up one more time.

09:35.105 --> 09:40.009
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's a ball to MJF.

09:40.670 --> 09:46.435
[SPEAKER_03]: Boy, that would be, you know, his hometown essentially getting shaved bald by the way.

09:46.915 --> 09:49.858
[SPEAKER_03]: We should also match what a massive crowd they're gonna have there.

09:50.438 --> 09:53.700
[SPEAKER_03]: this weekend at the Lou Armstrong Stadium home of the US open.

09:54.281 --> 09:56.482
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to have over 14,000 fans.

09:56.702 --> 10:00.605
[SPEAKER_03]: If you've never seen what that stadium looks like, I mean, it's really steep.

10:01.886 --> 10:03.827
[SPEAKER_03]: Everyone's going to be really close to the action.

10:04.548 --> 10:06.269
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to look phenomenal on TV.

10:06.529 --> 10:07.710
[SPEAKER_03]: I will have to see if they can pack.

10:07.750 --> 10:09.571
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's essentially sold out right now.

10:10.092 --> 10:16.376
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll have to see if they can pack anyone else in their, uh, at the last minute, probably production holds and that kind of thing.

10:17.597 --> 10:20.480
[SPEAKER_03]: But, uh, man, I, I'm really, really looking forward to.

10:20.520 --> 10:26.105
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they've been hinting on commentary that, you know, he's kind of running out of gas, Darby.

10:26.605 --> 10:32.451
[SPEAKER_03]: It's catching up with him defending the title every single week and he's just crazy matches.

10:32.831 --> 10:37.916
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, the one against speedball wasn't as crazy as what we've seen on Dynamite this week, still a good match though.

10:39.537 --> 10:39.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

10:40.338 --> 10:42.279
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, well, oh, I was going to ask the the Armstrong

10:45.198 --> 10:47.079
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know which is bigger though.

10:47.119 --> 10:50.439
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it kind of has a little bit of a similar look to it.

10:51.220 --> 10:57.501
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me see the capacity difference here because let's see what I'm strong stadium has a capacity.

10:57.541 --> 11:05.583
[SPEAKER_03]: It says 14,000, and plus you're gonna have people on the floor, obviously, it says 14,000 on Wikipedia.

11:06.844 --> 11:10.805
[SPEAKER_03]: And for other ash, it says, well, other ash is bigger.

11:11.085 --> 11:11.465
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought so.

11:11.505 --> 11:11.905
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought so.

11:12.705 --> 11:14.788
[SPEAKER_01]: because they've packed in 20 for grand slam in 2020.

11:14.808 --> 11:16.250
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's right.

11:17.973 --> 11:24.843
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I thought maybe it was a little bit bigger because, you know, when I said 14,000, I was thinking they had had one end blocked off.

11:25.544 --> 11:27.827
[SPEAKER_03]: But it made says 14,000 and Wikipedia.

11:27.847 --> 11:28.889
[SPEAKER_02]: That's probably for tennis.

11:30.073 --> 11:30.813
[SPEAKER_03]: They could have ran.

11:30.834 --> 11:33.515
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Arthur Ash, they could have probably sold that out.

11:34.116 --> 11:36.017
[SPEAKER_03]: For sure, I'm looking at how tickets have moved for this show.

11:36.037 --> 11:38.058
[SPEAKER_03]: I think our friend Frank is going to be at the show.

11:38.699 --> 11:39.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

11:39.699 --> 11:44.142
[SPEAKER_03]: And Andrew Zaryan is going to be there from Matt Men, another friend of the show.

11:44.262 --> 11:45.143
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, go ahead.

11:45.423 --> 11:47.684
[SPEAKER_01]: Much of New Yorkers, not resuming John Abel would be there, too.

11:48.325 --> 11:49.285
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm sure he will be.

11:49.786 --> 11:55.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Say, MJF was on your Ariel Hillwani if you have not heard that interview, I recommend going on every way listening to it.

11:55.129 --> 11:55.709
[SPEAKER_01]: It was excellent.

12:01.376 --> 12:07.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I have stereotypical in character, but very well spoken as always and answered some of the hard questions.

12:07.800 --> 12:08.581
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a fun interview.

12:09.081 --> 12:09.221
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

12:09.241 --> 12:23.371
[SPEAKER_02]: He even mentioned multiple times that I can't remember the exact wording, but it's something that like, this is already like the second largest, I don't get can be right, but something in the history of A, W. He did say that.

12:23.391 --> 12:28.074
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was like North American gate or something, yeah, just pretty impressive.

12:29.085 --> 12:30.347
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, because it's a paper view.

12:30.367 --> 12:32.209
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to imagine ticket prices a little higher.

12:32.269 --> 12:34.752
[SPEAKER_03]: Arthur Ash had a bigger stadium attendance.

12:34.812 --> 12:39.177
[SPEAKER_03]: We were just talking about that, but it was a dynamite early on in 2021.

12:39.197 --> 12:45.485
[SPEAKER_03]: I know they had a million dollars for double or nothing 2022 that we attended in Vegas.

12:46.006 --> 12:47.668
[SPEAKER_03]: It's got to be up there in the rankings.

12:49.557 --> 12:54.159
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm just pretty excited to see what the stadium looks like, how they have it set up.

12:54.940 --> 12:55.960
[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully they have good weather.

12:57.361 --> 13:04.505
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I can't get over the fact that Derby's rain here didn't kill a W. It's soon to be doing okay.

13:07.575 --> 13:07.956
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

13:08.016 --> 13:08.957
[SPEAKER_01]: What's funny about that?

13:09.357 --> 13:09.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:09.637 --> 13:10.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.

13:10.738 --> 13:21.788
[SPEAKER_01]: When they, I just saw some numbers when those new Nielsen ratings started, SmackDown, AEW Dynamite, and TNA, all of them by percentages were identical.

13:22.328 --> 13:27.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Like 20, I think it was like 18 to 21% drop in ratings numbers.

13:27.813 --> 13:28.894
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's across the board.

13:29.535 --> 13:29.975
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:30.135 --> 13:33.138
[SPEAKER_01]: Derby, Derby didn't kill the Territories, they say.

13:33.867 --> 13:38.108
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I apologize if you've already kind of answered this or touched on this.

13:38.148 --> 13:39.769
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually had to step away for a moment.

13:39.789 --> 13:41.930
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, he was, my, my kid was crying on the monitor and I walked in.

13:41.950 --> 13:43.830
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a dead I got a P. And I can't get mad because we're potty training.

13:43.850 --> 13:51.513
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was actually pretty happy that he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he,

13:52.717 --> 13:54.779
[SPEAKER_02]: was making noise for me to go and get him to pee.

13:54.859 --> 14:04.730
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but my question is, because Jesse specifically, you had said when Darby won that you were pretty indifferent to Darby being the Royal Champion.

14:04.750 --> 14:07.593
[SPEAKER_02]: Has he kind of won you over with this short reign?

14:10.336 --> 14:10.476
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.

14:11.502 --> 14:23.532
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm leaning that way and I was just saying if they're Ryan even mentioned it too, if there's that slim possibility that he does when wouldn't mind to see where it keeps going to.

14:25.253 --> 14:29.837
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, you weren't in different per se where you and Darby won.

14:30.617 --> 14:30.978
[SPEAKER_02]: I was.

14:31.398 --> 14:32.579
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you were, but Ryan.

14:34.645 --> 14:44.693
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, no, I didn't really have a problem with it because I think I said after he won the first time we talked about, I was like, you know, I expected to be a pretty short rain and I just, I didn't have any problem with it.

14:44.714 --> 14:45.294
[SPEAKER_03]: Give it a try.

14:45.894 --> 14:48.597
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I mean, I think it's been a success personally.

14:48.737 --> 14:56.083
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I've talked to people that are friends with me that, you know, they, they still say the same stuff like Darby doesn't seem like a rural champion.

14:56.843 --> 14:58.425
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, but to me it's,

15:01.447 --> 15:26.492
[SPEAKER_03]: to me it's must see TV you know you know that's not really relevant to me because I'm tuning in to see fun matches and he's had to have the world title defend it every single week like he's been doing must see television there's been stretches where once in a while I had missed dynamite and just read the results because I would have a chance to watch it or you know if I did watch it be like weeks later catching up

15:27.803 --> 15:31.346
[SPEAKER_03]: I've not missed a single one, you know, since he won the title.

15:31.386 --> 15:34.628
[SPEAKER_03]: So in that way, I mean, I don't know how many fans are like me with that.

15:34.648 --> 15:36.529
[SPEAKER_03]: But for me, it's been musty personally.

15:36.690 --> 15:39.792
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's how it's been from my neck of the woods at least.

15:40.052 --> 15:47.477
[SPEAKER_02]: And not only has he been defending the title every week, if not two times a week, he's legit having memorable,

15:48.458 --> 15:50.398
[SPEAKER_02]: matches that you're going to stick with us for a while.

15:50.839 --> 15:55.560
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the fair way to help with pack was absolutely tremendous.

15:55.580 --> 15:58.600
[SPEAKER_02]: The first one against Champa was absolutely incredible.

15:59.321 --> 16:05.782
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, when I think the best of all of them was the Takeshita match, which was just absolutely insane.

16:06.302 --> 16:06.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

16:06.982 --> 16:07.763
[SPEAKER_01]: It's unique.

16:08.823 --> 16:12.904
[SPEAKER_01]: You haven't seen an AEW title in like this and we don't see this at all across

16:18.902 --> 16:22.403
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, they got me this week because, you know, they did the double taping.

16:22.543 --> 16:23.543
[SPEAKER_03]: They had dynamite.

16:23.563 --> 16:25.644
[SPEAKER_03]: They had collision afterwards for another hour.

16:25.924 --> 16:30.385
[SPEAKER_03]: And God, I thought for sure that Osprey Shabbata match would be on dynamite.

16:30.825 --> 16:34.006
[SPEAKER_03]: And we got to wait to say end of dynamite like, oh, this is gonna be on collision.

16:34.726 --> 16:35.046
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

16:35.706 --> 16:38.907
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, so kept watching three hours of television.

16:39.387 --> 16:39.567
[SPEAKER_03]: And...

16:40.507 --> 16:46.617
[SPEAKER_03]: also a fun match, but I thought Osprey's promo after the match with Joe was even better.

16:46.897 --> 16:49.161
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that was a phenomenal promo.

16:49.521 --> 16:52.706
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I've kind of been waiting to see for Osprey since he returned.

16:53.579 --> 17:11.858
[SPEAKER_03]: And like the fire he had talking about his goal being Wembley Stadium, winning the Owen Colin back to how he was close last year, you know, when he lost in the finals to hang man at double or nothing, and uh, how he's going to get it done this year, talking about rebuilding himself, you know, with the deathwriters have been doing with this training and everything.

17:13.212 --> 17:17.455
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the first match ever between Samoa Joe with Osprey.

17:17.815 --> 17:22.218
[SPEAKER_03]: Tony Constalked about how this has been like a dream match for him personally to book.

17:23.059 --> 17:25.120
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely can't wait for this one.

17:25.160 --> 17:29.944
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, outside of the world title, this is this is my most anticipated match of the night.

17:30.004 --> 17:34.547
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited for the world title match, but to me, this this is the most see match.

17:35.307 --> 17:36.789
[SPEAKER_03]: Jesse, I see you getting ready for this.

17:36.809 --> 17:37.870
[SPEAKER_03]: You're rubbing your hands together.

17:38.271 --> 17:39.652
[SPEAKER_03]: You're practically salivating.

17:39.672 --> 17:40.973
[SPEAKER_03]: You're like, stew hard over there.

17:40.993 --> 17:41.834
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't get in a guy.

17:42.375 --> 17:44.197
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, we're going to stretch him in the dungeon.

17:44.237 --> 17:44.437
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm ready.

17:44.877 --> 17:45.418
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm ready.

17:45.598 --> 17:46.860
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm ready to put some holds on.

17:46.880 --> 17:47.460
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you thinking?

17:47.841 --> 17:49.863
[SPEAKER_01]: So the last two eight W shirts I've purchased.

17:51.084 --> 17:51.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

17:51.825 --> 17:55.589
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's no no tell and those are most of my two two of my favorites going.

17:56.867 --> 18:23.099
[SPEAKER_01]: that promo in my eyes rescue it a little bit the last couple of weeks of what will Asprey has done and what he even said in his promo he just said that just the death writers have made me a killer when the last couple of matches like seeing this new well Asprey you saw glimpses of a killer but he's still kind of middleing you like eh they he's still trying to find his confidence and I the talents there.

18:23.299 --> 18:23.899
[SPEAKER_01]: We all know it.

18:23.980 --> 18:26.401
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna rise up eventually yet.

18:26.441 --> 18:28.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that promo tenfold kind of boosted.

18:28.722 --> 18:38.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I that I hopefully boosted his confidence And we're gonna see the actual will last break that we heard in this promo perform in the ring against Samoa Joe an absolute legend in the business.

18:39.008 --> 18:42.450
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I am I am excited for it Just hoping we'll follow through what you want.

18:42.971 --> 18:49.634
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, who can't get behind a guy who brags in front of the public about grabbing his girls ass I mean, that's just good stuff

18:51.127 --> 18:52.287
[SPEAKER_03]: Now that was pretty funny.

18:52.327 --> 18:54.428
[SPEAKER_03]: I wake up at the morning, I grab my wife says.

18:54.488 --> 18:57.168
[SPEAKER_03]: I check my phone in the proper order there.

18:57.188 --> 19:12.372
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, I've been really digging this storyline with Wall Osprey in the Death Riders because it is almost like not only is it to benefit Osprey, but it's you know an iron sharpens iron that kit can moxely actually finally be Kylo Riley.

19:12.392 --> 19:16.293
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just this this perfect cross road, this intersection of

19:21.194 --> 19:31.198
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe and Will, it's so funny because like, you think about the depth of this roster, and that was just a match that never really sprang to mine to me.

19:31.438 --> 19:41.903
[SPEAKER_02]: And all of a sudden, it's announced in the Owen Cup and it's the first time ever and it's like, holy shit, I've been desperately wanting to see this forever and I didn't even frickin' know it.

19:43.082 --> 19:47.205
[SPEAKER_02]: And yet, and I'm with you, this is my most anticipated match.

19:47.365 --> 20:00.453
[SPEAKER_02]: If only I get to Jesse's point, you know, Osprey hasn't exactly looked like how he used to, what feels like he's getting there, but this is going to be the real test, is versus Samoa Joe in a paperview.

20:01.573 --> 20:07.177
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the finally wrestle that TNA legend that he was watching 21 years ago, just in the DNA legend.

20:09.317 --> 20:18.141
[SPEAKER_03]: He even brought up in that promo that he's thinner, you know, I've noticed that watching too that he's definitely lost a muscle mass and he's like, yeah, I had a next surgery, you know, what would you expect kind of thing.

20:19.781 --> 20:23.743
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I have also enjoyed the stuff with the death writers, you know, like just.

20:24.443 --> 20:29.147
[SPEAKER_03]: different type, adding to his game, learning some submissions, just gives him a totally different dynamic.

20:29.227 --> 20:33.790
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, you know, them coming out of nowhere to back off the interference and everything.

20:34.451 --> 20:35.231
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been a fan of it.

20:35.311 --> 20:39.374
[SPEAKER_03]: I've seen people critical saying he didn't need this, you know, coming off the injury and everything.

20:39.394 --> 20:41.896
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you didn't need it, but to me, it's a nice little wrinkle.

20:42.136 --> 20:42.897
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't mind it at all.

20:43.217 --> 20:44.278
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it just, it, it,

20:45.913 --> 20:51.259
[SPEAKER_02]: give some context or some story to the show instead of just like Will Osprey comes back and wins a bunch of matches.

20:51.820 --> 21:02.011
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not now we've got the story in there and it deepens both of their characters that Will Osprey wants to get to Wembley and win the AW World Championship so bad.

21:02.793 --> 21:09.715
[SPEAKER_02]: that he's willing to be mentored by the guy who took him out, you know, storyline wise for, you know, over half a year.

21:10.195 --> 21:11.175
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

21:11.215 --> 21:11.575
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.

21:11.595 --> 21:12.035
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.

21:12.715 --> 21:13.595
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you say story?

21:14.216 --> 21:17.236
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I, I was told that A, W, doesn't tell stories.

21:17.496 --> 21:17.696
[SPEAKER_03]: Hmm.

21:18.196 --> 21:18.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.

21:18.997 --> 21:19.457
[SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.

21:19.997 --> 21:22.397
[SPEAKER_03]: More, more ones will have you believe all sorts of stuff.

21:22.737 --> 21:23.358
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

21:24.458 --> 21:24.698
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

21:24.718 --> 21:27.018
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're all picking Osprey in this match, I assume.

21:27.699 --> 21:29.299
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and wouldn't you say this is a,

21:31.278 --> 21:35.520
[SPEAKER_02]: bigger, most of the word I'm looking for.

21:35.540 --> 21:39.842
[SPEAKER_02]: Like no brainer, that this one's a sure thing compared to Derby and MJF.

21:40.982 --> 21:45.824
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that feels like a sure thing, but this even more so.

21:45.924 --> 21:50.786
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it would be more shocking to see will lose here than it would be to see MJF lose.

21:52.347 --> 21:53.127
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I agree.

21:53.588 --> 21:54.168
[SPEAKER_03]: I agree with that.

21:54.428 --> 21:57.689
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, he's got a move on of attorney here.

21:58.010 --> 21:58.610
[SPEAKER_03]: I would expect.

22:00.158 --> 22:01.959
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's let's talk about the other turning match as well.

22:01.979 --> 22:02.400
[SPEAKER_03]: We're on it.

22:02.480 --> 22:05.141
[SPEAKER_03]: So swore of strickling and bandito.

22:06.843 --> 22:08.324
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I hear more hand rubbing.

22:08.884 --> 22:12.426
[SPEAKER_01]: That one almost excites me more than aspirin, Samoa Joe.

22:13.647 --> 22:14.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

22:14.408 --> 22:17.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I mean, it should be a phenomenal match.

22:17.150 --> 22:18.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Jan, bandito can go.

22:18.250 --> 22:19.031
[SPEAKER_01]: They both go.

22:19.171 --> 22:21.453
[SPEAKER_01]: They're, yeah, so where's the different human these days?

22:21.553 --> 22:23.254
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I mean, bandito.

22:23.274 --> 22:24.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Did he one arm press?

22:24.455 --> 22:24.775
[SPEAKER_01]: Swirv?

22:26.240 --> 22:29.101
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and that to battle that they had for about a minute there.

22:29.482 --> 22:29.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

22:30.262 --> 22:38.886
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, an argument can be made that Bandito is legit in ring, just in ring, the best wrestler in the world for the past year.

22:40.007 --> 22:49.132
[SPEAKER_02]: And you factor that in with there was some rumblings that Swerve was maybe a little irritated with his lack of TV time lately.

22:50.007 --> 22:50.708
[SPEAKER_02]: true around true.

22:50.768 --> 22:51.409
[SPEAKER_02]: It's out there.

22:51.429 --> 22:55.194
[SPEAKER_02]: It kind of adds a little bit more intrigue that maybe he's got something to prove.

22:55.414 --> 23:00.120
[SPEAKER_02]: So you got these two bonafide stars and studs in the ring.

23:01.101 --> 23:03.684
[SPEAKER_02]: Gonna come out here and absolutely tear down the house.

23:07.101 --> 23:09.583
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I think Swerve wins.

23:10.243 --> 23:10.784
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, anyone.

23:11.524 --> 23:11.885
[SPEAKER_03]: Disgusting.

23:11.925 --> 23:12.545
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

23:13.246 --> 23:13.486
[SPEAKER_03]: Nice.

23:13.986 --> 23:16.848
[SPEAKER_03]: So those are the two men's matches on this show.

23:17.649 --> 23:22.793
[SPEAKER_03]: So if Osprey wins, he moves on to face the winner of Davis and Jack Perry.

23:23.994 --> 23:32.420
[SPEAKER_03]: And Swerve, if he's victorious, moves on to face the winner of Claudio and Brody King, haven't announced when the semi-finals are,

23:32.640 --> 23:35.241
[SPEAKER_03]: did they announce what those two matches are then dynamite next week.

23:35.401 --> 23:37.702
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have a blank on the tournaments.

23:37.962 --> 23:38.382
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

23:39.103 --> 23:49.507
[SPEAKER_03]: Ultimately, the final will be at forbidden door June 28th as we know on the women's side now, you know, we had a, we had a shake up with Athena.

23:50.387 --> 23:55.328
[SPEAKER_03]: and the injury on collision against red velvet dynamite this week.

23:55.368 --> 23:58.388
[SPEAKER_03]: She forfeits the title, the TBS title.

23:58.588 --> 24:00.809
[SPEAKER_03]: Will it, or sorry, what did I say?

24:01.309 --> 24:01.669
[SPEAKER_03]: Athena.

24:01.989 --> 24:02.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Athena.

24:02.849 --> 24:03.649
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking at the card.

24:03.849 --> 24:04.789
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the better.

24:04.809 --> 24:06.310
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, will, though, will, though.

24:06.690 --> 24:08.670
[SPEAKER_03]: And they haven't announced her replacement yet.

24:08.970 --> 24:12.111
[SPEAKER_03]: She was going to wrestle on the show, but they change course.

24:12.131 --> 24:14.951
[SPEAKER_03]: They haven't announced when that match will be.

24:15.811 --> 24:19.732
[SPEAKER_03]: We get Athena and Mena Shirakawa on double or nothing.

24:21.288 --> 24:21.628
[SPEAKER_03]: thoughts.

24:22.289 --> 24:26.915
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, for me, it's just a gut punch about Willow getting injured.

24:27.535 --> 24:33.402
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you really want to see her be able to kind of finish this title reign in the appropriate manner.

24:33.883 --> 24:35.465
[SPEAKER_02]: So that just really sucks.

24:37.488 --> 24:40.669
[SPEAKER_02]: as far as Athena and Mina, I mean, it's got to be Athena, right?

24:40.689 --> 24:43.029
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what, I mean, what are we doing here with Athena?

24:43.049 --> 24:50.931
[SPEAKER_02]: She's about to, if not already past Roman reigns for the longest modern world title reign ever.

24:50.951 --> 24:55.112
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's about time to get her on the main roster full time.

24:55.192 --> 25:00.314
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think she would be my pick to win the tournament.

25:01.134 --> 25:01.354
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

25:02.594 --> 25:04.935
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, yeah, I would probably agree.

25:06.718 --> 25:08.319
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't know who the wild card's gonna be.

25:09.180 --> 25:10.922
[SPEAKER_03]: Are we still thinking Mercedes, Jesse?

25:12.583 --> 25:13.804
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even mention that on the day.

25:13.824 --> 25:14.945
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know who else it'll be.

25:15.726 --> 25:16.407
[SPEAKER_01]: I really don't.

25:16.467 --> 25:25.134
[SPEAKER_01]: And the weirdest thing is, Persephone and Suri a week ago online, both said they were injured and were allowed for a while.

25:25.334 --> 25:27.817
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why that hasn't been mentioned.

25:27.837 --> 25:29.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Why Tony hasn't made any moves there.

25:29.298 --> 25:31.320
[SPEAKER_03]: So it'd be weird if they were both to just show up.

25:32.200 --> 25:32.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

25:32.621 --> 25:33.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Russell, they're actual matches.

25:35.085 --> 25:40.391
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, if it's not a Mercedes, I could see Windsor getting a push in this tournament.

25:40.551 --> 25:45.136
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you go back to, was that the original Owen tournament when it was Baker and Cole?

25:45.656 --> 25:50.461
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, the real-life couple, you know, who won it, I guess they could go with that.

25:50.501 --> 25:50.762
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

25:50.782 --> 25:50.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

25:51.002 --> 25:51.162
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

25:51.182 --> 25:54.886
[SPEAKER_03]: Went all the way to the finals and Alex Windsor went all the way to the finals on the, on the women's side.

25:56.891 --> 26:01.713
[SPEAKER_03]: But, you know, I agree my initial take is Athena should win the tight or the tournament.

26:01.994 --> 26:04.795
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's been years now.

26:05.035 --> 26:12.119
[SPEAKER_03]: Years we've been talking about when she's going to transition just a, you know, AW outside ROH and got such a talent.

26:12.159 --> 26:15.060
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been lighting it up on an ROH for a long time now.

26:15.260 --> 26:19.062
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm ready to see her get her run on the main roster and I think this is a good way to do it.

26:19.483 --> 26:20.783
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, obviously she wins a tournament.

26:20.803 --> 26:23.025
[SPEAKER_03]: She's going to Wembley Stadium and huge.

26:23.105 --> 26:33.551
[SPEAKER_03]: So she's my pick right now, but yeah, that's the only women's match on this show for the Owen tournament at least.

26:33.891 --> 26:38.074
[SPEAKER_03]: Elsewhere we have the four way for the AW Women's World title with

26:46.346 --> 26:50.687
[SPEAKER_03]: are I don't see the title changing hands or I don't really think they should have a change hands.

26:51.087 --> 26:55.468
[SPEAKER_03]: None of those three feel like they should be winning the women's title right now at all to me.

26:56.148 --> 27:09.291
[SPEAKER_03]: And I like, you know, I like all of them and at different times, you know, was high when Statlander had her title run and both Shita and Jamie, you know, been really high in Jamie in the past, but I just don't think you could take the title off a Tecla right now.

27:09.471 --> 27:10.271
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't see it.

27:10.711 --> 27:12.852
[SPEAKER_03]: To me, this is a gimme here that Tecla retains.

27:14.515 --> 27:25.082
[SPEAKER_02]: I did see some fantasy-booking online of people trying to get to all in with Jamie Hader versus Ellic Windsor.

27:25.782 --> 27:34.728
[SPEAKER_02]: At your point about, you know, Windsor went in the Owen Hart Cup and then obviously Jamie Hader would have to win here, but that does not feel like Marky matched to me.

27:36.049 --> 27:39.932
[SPEAKER_02]: Hader has lost a lot of steam in the past couple of years.

27:41.496 --> 27:46.784
[SPEAKER_02]: do you think tackle is going to roll into all in as the women's world champion?

27:48.386 --> 27:48.666
[SPEAKER_03]: I do.

27:49.167 --> 27:49.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I do right now.

27:50.148 --> 27:50.389
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

27:50.869 --> 27:51.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

27:51.390 --> 27:54.855
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel the whole women's division outside of tackle has lost a whole bunch of steam.

27:55.714 --> 27:57.735
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I think this is really an act that we've been reported.

27:57.895 --> 27:59.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, of course, of course.

27:59.115 --> 28:18.140
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that just goes to show a how important Mercedes and Tony are, which should be a huge mistake of Mercedes was an entered in this tournament and be it also gives Athena a golden opportunity to step in with these injuries into an actual flat on the all elite wrestling women's roster and run with the ball, actually should be.

28:21.122 --> 28:36.037
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I just don't see a way to, I don't see anyone that should take it off over right now and they've made her into, I mean, I, you know, been high on her ever since she won the title, I was really high in a right from the start and I think she's live up to everything I was expecting at her.

28:36.057 --> 28:37.819
[SPEAKER_03]: I think tech was been a phenomenal champion.

28:38.339 --> 28:46.445
[SPEAKER_03]: And to your point, Jesse, and Justin, injuries have played a part for sure, but the division's definitely not been where it needs to be lately.

28:46.485 --> 28:50.909
[SPEAKER_03]: But Tecla has been a breath of fresh air, you know, a new face who's been a great champion.

28:51.309 --> 28:55.492
[SPEAKER_03]: And they got her feeling like someone who can't really be beat right now, you know?

28:55.612 --> 29:02.998
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't think you can do a shock title when with somebody who doesn't feel like champion with what you've built up in her.

29:03.218 --> 29:04.899
[SPEAKER_03]: It needs to be a bigger moment.

29:05.920 --> 29:08.562
[SPEAKER_03]: If it's going to be a bigger moment, I mean, no bigger moment than all in.

29:08.602 --> 29:12.304
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, as of right now, I think it's going to be her going in.

29:13.604 --> 29:16.286
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's kind of weird looking at that bracket.

29:16.306 --> 29:18.967
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't realize that the wild card is versus Windsor.

29:19.428 --> 29:30.654
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know, bringing up Mercedes, like, you just knock out Windsor that early in the first round, you know, that's that'd be kind of stunning, especially with, you know, Wembley coming, but uh,

29:31.615 --> 29:41.287
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the biggest match you could do if Tony Storm is actually gone for a while or if she's not going to be able to make it back for all of them, I think the biggest match you can do is probably Teclin Monet.

29:43.550 --> 29:44.631
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's true.

29:45.587 --> 30:05.450
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that, I mean, like you said to that's that'll be quite the change because you go from fake and Windsor could get a deep run to losing the first match, yeah, kind of unfortunate that if it ends up being Monet that she's partnered with her in that first round match, but I don't know, maybe Monet is just too obvious and they go a totally different direction.

30:06.402 --> 30:15.112
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like I said, we're just waiting for those to the Persephone and the Surrey announcements or yeah, or maybe they actually wrestle and surprise me.

30:15.232 --> 30:18.596
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, it's just really weird that they would make those online statements and then retract them.

30:19.137 --> 30:19.357
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

30:21.335 --> 30:38.126
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, elsewhere, we're going to keep the show pretty tight tonight because these preview shows when we do, we wanted to do a show before the weekend because we're obviously going to review double or nothing, but these preview shows just don't have a lot of likes, you know, this show's going to have about a 72 hour lifespan and then always are going to listen to it again.

30:38.166 --> 30:39.927
[SPEAKER_03]: So we don't want to do an hour and a half podcast here.

30:40.347 --> 30:41.508
[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll keep it moving.

30:43.769 --> 30:57.941
[SPEAKER_03]: You got Moxley and Kyle O'Reilly, you know, they did the time limit finish on dynamite, so then O'Reilly gets a shot here at Moxley for the AW Continental title, no time limit in this matchup here.

30:58.721 --> 31:04.806
[SPEAKER_03]: I enjoyed the matchup on dynamite, I just, I don't see Kyle O'Reilly beating him for the title here though.

31:04.906 --> 31:05.587
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think Justin?

31:09.226 --> 31:25.413
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, I really like Kyle O'Reilly, but John Moxley has just been doing, I mean, ever since we were super down on him as World Champion like a year ago, he's just been absolutely incredible.

31:25.974 --> 31:29.075
[SPEAKER_02]: This continental reign has been absolutely incredible.

31:29.115 --> 31:37.059
[SPEAKER_02]: He's doing some of the best character work of his entire career and that is fucking saying something right now is what he's doing.

31:39.078 --> 31:47.522
[SPEAKER_02]: And the story is, again, going back to my previous comment about Will Will Osprey, you know, Iron Sharpen's Iron, this is his big hill to climb over.

31:47.642 --> 31:52.905
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's he's tapped multiple times to Kyle O'Reilly and I think he pulls out the win here.

31:55.397 --> 31:56.498
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, commentary mentioned it.

31:56.538 --> 32:00.000
[SPEAKER_01]: This is Kyle O'Reilly's first singles matchback was Wednesday night on Dynamite.

32:00.160 --> 32:10.126
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's very similar to like a Jamie Hater or a Cheeto or a stat-lander winning a title, just kind of out of thin air when they're cool.

32:10.346 --> 32:16.570
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, granted, you can play off that he's beat num twice and just had a draw here, but it's a little bit too soon for that.

32:17.010 --> 32:20.152
[SPEAKER_01]: If you had had a couple of singles matches in between, you'd make it more believable.

32:20.272 --> 32:23.534
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, John Moxley's on fire, he got to keep going with him.

32:24.214 --> 32:25.155
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, great.

32:25.935 --> 32:26.456
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

32:26.516 --> 32:28.597
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's that's pretty much an automatic.

32:28.637 --> 32:43.007
[SPEAKER_02]: Then it's kind of wild how like You know, I get the feeling that we're all pretty excited about this card, but it is far as winning and losing It seems pretty cut and dry so far.

32:43.547 --> 32:44.188
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say

32:46.504 --> 32:56.788
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not a show that I'm in like the, if I were to rank the AWS paper views that even all time that I've been most excited for, it's not in the top half.

32:56.848 --> 32:58.589
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I'm always excited for their paper views.

32:58.689 --> 33:00.150
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they're always good shows.

33:00.890 --> 33:05.292
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not one of my, oh man, can't wait till Sunday night, but there's portions of the show.

33:05.352 --> 33:07.492
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited about, I'm excited about the venue.

33:07.753 --> 33:09.893
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't wait to see what it looks like, big crowd.

33:09.973 --> 33:11.874
[SPEAKER_03]: Excited for the main event, like we talked about.

33:11.894 --> 33:13.235
[SPEAKER_03]: Excited for Osprey and Joe.

33:14.061 --> 33:14.861
[SPEAKER_03]: undercard matches.

33:15.141 --> 33:18.943
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll enjoy them, but they're not like, oh God, I can't wait to Sunday to get to those matches.

33:19.723 --> 33:24.904
[SPEAKER_02]: It does definitely feel like the starting point for the rest of the summer.

33:25.124 --> 33:25.465
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

33:26.285 --> 33:26.985
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for sure.

33:27.005 --> 33:27.985
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, some clarity.

33:28.205 --> 33:29.106
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe coming out of here.

33:29.306 --> 33:29.386
[SPEAKER_03]: Um,

33:30.266 --> 33:39.770
[SPEAKER_03]: One, another one I'm really looking forward to, and you know, selfishly I was at the first match at World's End, open that show with Ocada and Takeshita in the Continental.

33:41.611 --> 33:49.794
[SPEAKER_03]: I was, we talked about the show for months, Ocada, Takeshita when they finally get there, it's going to be a phenomenal match, and then that match, I didn't think lived up to the hype.

33:50.034 --> 33:50.975
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I was in the building.

33:51.675 --> 34:02.101
[SPEAKER_03]: I was excited, but when it was over, I was like, ah, you know, like, I think I gave that like three and a half stars on our Patreon, on my star ratings, which is like, yeah, slightly above average match.

34:02.141 --> 34:06.983
[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't like I was expecting those two to do like a four and a half star match, you know.

34:07.043 --> 34:11.926
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, look, I know they had to had to wrestle later again because it was a tournament.

34:12.006 --> 34:16.148
[SPEAKER_03]: So they're not going to go totally balls to the wall, but this time they can.

34:16.168 --> 34:18.670
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm expecting

34:19.797 --> 34:21.278
[SPEAKER_03]: better this time out.

34:21.338 --> 34:23.560
[SPEAKER_03]: It's for the international title, obviously.

34:24.521 --> 34:30.427
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and this time, you know, O'Cotta won the first one moved on to the finals of the tournament.

34:31.348 --> 34:37.093
[SPEAKER_03]: Do we think Takeshta gets a win back and wins the international championship here, Mr. Justin Joy?

34:39.193 --> 34:45.178
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, first off, uh, just to build on what you just said, uh, this was the first match announced for the paper view.

34:45.278 --> 34:51.102
[SPEAKER_02]: So I do feel like they're going to treat this like a much bigger match than they did at worlds end.

34:51.622 --> 34:53.544
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it's going to get the appropriate amount of time.

34:54.605 --> 35:00.549
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, the wrestling brain in us is going to say, well, Okada beat him at worlds end.

35:00.709 --> 35:02.310
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's time for dekesh to win.

35:03.251 --> 35:07.714
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't think that fits with the story they're telling, uh, at revolution.

35:08.619 --> 35:11.962
[SPEAKER_02]: Takeshda and Moxley showed each other respect after the match.

35:12.803 --> 35:19.610
[SPEAKER_02]: In the Takeshda and Derby match, Takeshda refused Don Callis's help in getting the win.

35:19.650 --> 35:21.952
[SPEAKER_02]: He didn't want the dynamite diamond ring.

35:23.754 --> 35:28.138
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think the story is gonna be Is Don Callis costing Takeshda the match.

35:30.070 --> 35:34.552
[SPEAKER_02]: and fully getting the DeKesh to baby face run here.

35:35.652 --> 35:45.255
[SPEAKER_02]: DeKesh to unfortunately has lost a lot of steam since dropping the IWGP world title at Wrestle Kingdom and it's time to start building them back up.

35:45.475 --> 35:47.516
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Ocata is still a huge star.

35:47.796 --> 35:48.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's keep the title on him.

35:49.197 --> 35:52.418
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's build it up to the next one.

35:52.518 --> 35:53.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Let these guys go all out.

35:53.938 --> 35:58.740
[SPEAKER_02]: Balls out have a great match, but I think Calis is gonna end up cost and DeKesh to the match.

36:02.581 --> 36:04.302
[SPEAKER_01]: think you just sold me on turning my mind.

36:06.122 --> 36:13.945
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, because just because there's a prediction later, I'm going to make that'll validate my one title change on this card.

36:14.505 --> 36:24.248
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I think O'Cotta will retain or the match is going to be much better, and it makes more sense for some Don callous hijinks to piss us all off at home.

36:24.988 --> 36:32.315
[SPEAKER_01]: this this could be a sneaky match of the night contender but with so many other matches that have have a lot of stake in this claim.

36:32.556 --> 36:38.421
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think that these guys have been running for so long and they cooled it off for a bit and then reheated it back up.

36:38.541 --> 36:46.689
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish it was a little bit higher so I think to your point Justin there may be going to escalate it one more level and maybe get a rematch at all and we're to Kesha that has his moment.

36:46.970 --> 36:47.150
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

36:48.538 --> 36:49.319
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I like that.

36:49.619 --> 36:50.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you sold me Justin.

36:51.020 --> 36:52.500
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I initially look at the car.

36:52.540 --> 36:59.384
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm thinking, I do the title change, but yeah, I think to your point, the story makes that much more likely.

36:59.464 --> 37:03.907
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I didn't do it, you know, with the New Japan connection there.

37:04.327 --> 37:04.987
[SPEAKER_02]: Right up back there.

37:05.407 --> 37:05.648
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

37:07.248 --> 37:07.589
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

37:07.829 --> 37:11.771
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, we'll go three for three there with Hokkaido then retaining in the turn,

37:15.748 --> 37:21.050
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so I assume Jesse, with the title change, we'll look at what we have a lot to talk about.

37:22.251 --> 37:28.813
[SPEAKER_03]: The tag team titles, we all thought that Caj and Copeland were going to win the titles in the last time out.

37:28.833 --> 37:29.613
[SPEAKER_03]: It didn't happen.

37:30.294 --> 37:32.615
[SPEAKER_03]: Here they have the rematches and I equip magicians FTR.

37:34.270 --> 37:35.671
[SPEAKER_03]: Cage and Copeland lose.

37:35.711 --> 37:37.953
[SPEAKER_03]: They have to retire as a tag team.

37:37.973 --> 37:39.955
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think they get it done here.

37:40.475 --> 37:41.856
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they they get the titles.

37:42.517 --> 37:46.260
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I'm pretty confident in that and that choice Jesse.

37:46.994 --> 37:51.837
[SPEAKER_01]: As much to my shagrin, as I would mind if Cajun Cope never held the AW World Tag Team titles.

37:51.897 --> 38:02.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think they're going to win too, which it's especially with a huge card coming down the pipeline in August, where you can throw the box in there, maybe have like a triple threat.

38:02.562 --> 38:10.547
[SPEAKER_01]: There, yeah, in this tag team division, while I did mention a couple weeks ago that there's probably going to be some additions to it, that'll...

38:11.067 --> 38:14.552
[SPEAKER_01]: Fresh it up a little bit, it still needs a little more rescuing.

38:14.612 --> 38:16.154
[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess over the summer, why not?

38:16.174 --> 38:21.601
[SPEAKER_01]: Just have a cage and cope, just cut a bunch of promos and build for the next couple of months.

38:23.700 --> 38:46.565
[SPEAKER_03]: me got the guys their stars um you're starting to get some more you know this is anecdotal but i'm i'm i'm seeing more and more posts around the internet of people like oh haven't watched a w but w w is really pissing me off with all the ads and all the stuff that's been going on so i'm gonna check it out and these people are liking a w when you're starting to get those people migrating over giving them familiar faces is not the worst idea and

38:48.485 --> 39:00.324
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you got them, might as well get them on the lineage, you know, I think the, I think the tag team picture is going to heat up here in the next few months, but right now it hasn't been.

39:01.790 --> 39:06.073
[SPEAKER_03]: at their best I would say and when you look at the history of the tag team division in AEW.

39:06.533 --> 39:12.317
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think this is an opportune time to just put it on a couple of legends for a little while before they wrap up the careers.

39:13.378 --> 39:18.441
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm in 100% agreement with both of you.

39:19.302 --> 39:24.185
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't imagine they break up the tag team now in this kind of scenario.

39:24.465 --> 39:26.807
[SPEAKER_02]: My preference would be to break up the tag team now

39:31.570 --> 39:40.575
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's funny talking about like getting some of these eyeballs from WWE fans who, you know, maybe start getting a little AW curious.

39:40.615 --> 39:49.339
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, my first thought was like, copus just a bad representative for what AW pro wrestling is, you know.

39:51.100 --> 39:56.723
[SPEAKER_02]: But I understand why you'd want to get the titles on them for the summer and, you know, their huge stars.

39:56.963 --> 39:59.544
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not like the most featured part in the card.

39:59.564 --> 40:00.865
[SPEAKER_03]: Those not like his world champion.

40:00.885 --> 40:01.946
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think it's fine.

40:01.986 --> 40:03.907
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's just a familiar face.

40:04.947 --> 40:05.407
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fine.

40:05.447 --> 40:07.969
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we've all kind of seen this coming for years.

40:08.009 --> 40:08.749
[SPEAKER_03]: We've talked about it.

40:08.769 --> 40:10.070
[SPEAKER_03]: I eventually, they would get to this point.

40:10.890 --> 40:11.450
[SPEAKER_03]: Here we are.

40:12.171 --> 40:14.072
[SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of a downtime with the tag division.

40:14.112 --> 40:15.132
[SPEAKER_03]: So why not?

40:15.452 --> 40:16.293
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm kind of indifferent.

40:16.613 --> 40:22.095
[SPEAKER_03]: Quite honestly, I mean, I like FTR a lot, obviously, too, but their title run just feels like it's on fumes.

40:22.336 --> 40:23.636
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just like, you know, whatever.

40:23.656 --> 40:25.937
[SPEAKER_03]: They've been championing the promotion.

40:25.977 --> 40:27.638
[SPEAKER_03]: They've multiple times.

40:27.658 --> 40:28.659
[SPEAKER_03]: They've been around.

40:28.699 --> 40:32.540
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just, it's not super inspiring for them to be champions either.

40:32.841 --> 40:35.262
[SPEAKER_03]: So I mean, I just, I don't really feel strongly either way.

40:35.862 --> 40:36.783
[SPEAKER_03]: Who's there to challenge them?

40:37.364 --> 40:38.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's really what it is.

40:39.005 --> 40:40.547
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

40:40.887 --> 40:44.030
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, they've done the bucks match now many times and so.

40:45.390 --> 40:46.911
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we see we got Eric in the chat.

40:46.931 --> 40:48.251
[SPEAKER_03]: We got Brittany in the chat.

40:48.291 --> 40:50.353
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you guys for joining us on the live stream.

40:50.373 --> 40:59.037
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of our shows have been doing really well after the fact on demand, at least the video, you know, podcast always is pretty well, but videos have been catching on on demand.

40:59.057 --> 41:09.122
[SPEAKER_03]: So those of you who are checking this out after the fact, make sure when you subscribe to the channel, you hit the bell notification, because that will give you an alert on your phone that we're live.

41:09.142 --> 41:10.703
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you never miss the live shows.

41:10.723 --> 41:12.264
[SPEAKER_03]: So we can interact with you guys in the chat.

41:12.284 --> 41:13.724
[SPEAKER_03]: Cause we always like having you guys here alive.

41:15.205 --> 41:17.086
[SPEAKER_01]: 100 percent.

41:17.166 --> 41:20.267
[SPEAKER_03]: Last match on the main card, the main card is nine matches.

41:20.287 --> 41:22.968
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think we're really probably going to talk about the pre show.

41:25.089 --> 41:26.290
[SPEAKER_03]: Stadium stampede.

41:27.650 --> 41:31.492
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it time to retire stadium stampede just to join?

41:37.415 --> 41:39.696
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like my answer should be yes.

41:41.058 --> 41:48.763
[SPEAKER_02]: but every time stadium, stampede, slash, and archie in the arena is actually happening, happening during the pay per view.

41:49.764 --> 41:51.385
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm having a fucking blast watching it.

41:51.986 --> 41:52.206
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

41:52.626 --> 41:55.508
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, I guess my answer would be no.

41:57.329 --> 42:02.013
[SPEAKER_02]: We shouldn't retire the match, but we should probably have a more inspired match.

42:02.473 --> 42:03.193
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean that, yeah.

42:03.614 --> 42:08.177
[SPEAKER_02]: That fucking Jericho, young buck stuff at the beginning of the dynamite, we just not good.

42:08.644 --> 42:10.025
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a fan of Y2 Jackson?

42:10.765 --> 42:25.375
[SPEAKER_02]: No, nor am I a fan of the Bucks of Jericho, or one team, two names, or any of this 15-year-old antiquated WWE promo bullshit, just not working for me, brother.

42:28.773 --> 42:40.132
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we were there for the best one, anarchy in the arena at Dublin, other 22 with Eddie and coming out with the gas can and Brian and you know, every that was a phenomenal match.

42:40.192 --> 42:41.554
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, to me, it's just,

42:42.962 --> 42:43.342
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

42:43.803 --> 42:45.925
[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be fun, but it's, it's kind of played out.

42:46.205 --> 42:47.246
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's the point.

42:47.666 --> 43:01.639
[SPEAKER_02]: But I, I thought last year was good, but it also had the, the long-running built-up story of, you know, the Death Riders versus the Ops and, you know, Swerve was in there because he had got screwed by Moxley in the box and, you know, it, it had a, it had a,

43:02.765 --> 43:15.092
[SPEAKER_02]: a good tangible long-term story, well, this one just feels like, I mean, this is how we're bringing the hurts into get back to be in this fucking 14 person fucking match.

43:15.172 --> 43:16.373
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what are we doing here?

43:16.753 --> 43:17.033
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

43:17.073 --> 43:18.835
[SPEAKER_02]: Why aren't you on the fucking tag division?

43:19.235 --> 43:23.998
[SPEAKER_03]: Jericho hurts into the kit, full elite, that's Omega.

43:25.155 --> 43:34.581
[SPEAKER_03]: The box, Jack Perry, against the demand, Calis family Davis and Andrade and the dogs, Conners and Finley.

43:34.601 --> 43:36.342
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 14 guys in this match.

43:37.602 --> 43:53.398
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's, it is very thrown together, um, I don't, when I like compared to WWE, but it started to feel like, oh, it's that time of the year, we got to do the match, the kind of thing that we had always complained about with WWE when they do the theme paper views like, all right, double or nothing, God, to do it.

43:53.418 --> 43:54.920
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's just throw all these guys in there.

43:54.980 --> 43:55.500
[SPEAKER_03]: I just,

43:56.503 --> 43:58.384
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure I'll like it when it happens right now.

43:58.404 --> 44:00.325
[SPEAKER_03]: I just don't really have any strong feelings on it.

44:00.345 --> 44:05.829
[SPEAKER_03]: So I agreed Jericho's, he just came back and already like skippable on-screen.

44:08.310 --> 44:12.933
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, I don't know, I don't really have a good feel for the match at all.

44:13.033 --> 44:13.854
[SPEAKER_03]: It's whatever Jesse.

44:15.112 --> 44:16.532
[SPEAKER_01]: I mostly echo your sediments.

44:16.552 --> 44:20.394
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a couple of things I'm excited for and I think both might have mentioned it.

44:20.494 --> 44:25.435
[SPEAKER_01]: I think with the venue and how this stadium stamp piece can play out, I'm looking forward to the presentation.

44:26.695 --> 44:29.976
[SPEAKER_01]: I am excited to see Ricochet and Andrade involved in this match.

44:30.196 --> 44:31.477
[SPEAKER_01]: Any way to get them on the card.

44:31.517 --> 44:34.297
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they'll do something really, really fun.

44:35.018 --> 44:39.179
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I know that the Hertz and the kit they probably should not be involved in the 7 on 7 yet.

44:39.339 --> 44:39.759
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm kind of

44:39.899 --> 44:44.342
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of looking forward to them being in this too and doing something a little crazy.

44:44.362 --> 44:54.209
[SPEAKER_01]: We seem to have the usual suspects when we're doing these types of matches as we see with Jericho, Mega The Box and there was a much better use for Kenny Omega out there than this.

44:54.369 --> 44:59.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, they didn't follow through on that, but I'm going to go with the faces in this one.

44:59.533 --> 45:02.235
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think anybody's made a prediction on it yet, so yeah.

45:03.135 --> 45:05.016
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll go with the faces again as a match.

45:05.036 --> 45:10.479
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not really looking that looking forward to however, there will be some bright spots and then you can retire it when this is over.

45:12.280 --> 45:25.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I guess if we have to make a prediction, I'll go with the baby faces also because I've been pretty heel heavy and Jericho's been losing a lot to Brick a Shane the demand, so why not have happy ending here?

45:26.959 --> 45:28.761
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I got to go to the faces too.

45:28.981 --> 45:31.844
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think I think you're going to have a heel win in the main events.

45:31.944 --> 45:39.593
[SPEAKER_03]: Although when he wins, he'll probably get a good pop from the crowd being the hometown area, hometown metro.

45:39.833 --> 45:45.058
[SPEAKER_03]: I should say, you know, so I mean, the the crowd be behind Darby, but MJF will get a nice pop too.

45:45.119 --> 45:48.782
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I'll go with all the the seven baby faces here.

45:49.838 --> 45:52.360
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll do the unthinkable by the way, when M.J.F.

45:52.420 --> 46:02.129
[SPEAKER_01]: wins the match a late Sunday night and I will stand up and give Darby Allen a standy of standing ovation because I think he's actually going to put on a really good match here.

46:02.649 --> 46:03.069
[SPEAKER_01]: M.J.F.

46:03.089 --> 46:09.375
[SPEAKER_01]: will win and it'll be valiant or a valiant effort from Darby Allen and yeah, give him the old salute.

46:10.536 --> 46:13.779
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be curious to see if anybody else does.

46:14.920 --> 46:16.821
[SPEAKER_02]: If anybody else gives him his flowers.

46:17.342 --> 46:17.602
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

46:19.268 --> 46:31.016
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll say, God, it would have been so fun if we could have gone to the show and met up with people out there, but that being said, selfishly, I hope we get this show back in Vegas soon.

46:31.456 --> 46:45.306
[SPEAKER_03]: I know they haven't wanted to run it because of Mania being there two years in a row, but man, it's been several years now, Justin and when we went to double enough thing out there, that was such a fun weekend and I've been looking for an excuse to go to Vegas for wrestling again

46:45.486 --> 46:56.290
[SPEAKER_03]: WrestleMania wasn't it I was going to spend that kind of money but man the next time they have double enough and out there I am for sure going to go be fun to do a live show in Vegas again I don't know if it'll be next year.

46:56.350 --> 47:03.052
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they might still be skiddish about running a paper view there after two years in a row of WWE I know it will have been a year since Mania

47:04.318 --> 47:07.542
[SPEAKER_03]: But I hope this show returns to Vegas.

47:07.562 --> 47:11.107
[SPEAKER_03]: And if not, I have said it all along.

47:11.127 --> 47:12.409
[SPEAKER_03]: They weren't running Vegas.

47:12.569 --> 47:14.472
[SPEAKER_03]: I've always sought at Lannick City.

47:14.712 --> 47:16.595
[SPEAKER_03]: Boardwalk Hall is where they should do it.

47:16.795 --> 47:18.037
[SPEAKER_03]: And they still haven't done that.

47:18.117 --> 47:19.338
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be a cool place, too.

47:19.699 --> 47:21.041
[SPEAKER_03]: So I've venue with a lot of history.

47:21.749 --> 47:25.731
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I was hoping you're going to say one of our favorite cities in the world.

47:26.071 --> 47:28.873
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, New Orleans, I'm hoping they do all in at next year.

47:29.273 --> 47:29.633
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

47:30.073 --> 47:46.261
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, there's been people, people are talking about that on social today, because Tony was kind of non-committal about next year's show and people are like sarcastically, oh, if only there was an image or city that had a big show pulled away from them that you could go to, you know, that everyone loves traveling to.

47:46.842 --> 47:50.764
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, New Orleans would be great if they ran all in there or something.

47:51.564 --> 48:00.352
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be the other road, and by road, I mean, further than a three or four hour drive from a square we would have to fly, where I would consider going there.

48:00.372 --> 48:05.056
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's curvand, Jesse can come down to Iowa, then we'll all three drive down to New Orleans together.

48:05.177 --> 48:14.125
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, just in the last time we were in New Orleans with all of our flight problems, it was actually going to be faster to drive from New Orleans back to Iowa than it ended up being with all of our change flights at.

48:15.046 --> 48:15.967
[SPEAKER_02]: Just as we'll drive.

48:16.707 --> 48:24.512
[SPEAKER_03]: or although I would actually probably just drive up to Jesse and then take a direct flight next time since there isn't a single airport in Iowa with a direct flight to New Orleans.

48:25.652 --> 48:35.998
[SPEAKER_01]: When I was 11, my family and a whole bunch of others, we made the drive from the Twin Cities down to New Orleans for a national baseball tournament.

48:36.358 --> 48:36.999
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, nice.

48:37.579 --> 48:37.999
[SPEAKER_01]: I was 11.

48:38.440 --> 48:40.461
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a couple of weeks before turning 12.

48:40.601 --> 48:40.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

48:41.421 --> 48:41.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Very nice.

48:42.082 --> 48:42.602
[SPEAKER_01]: That's cool.

48:42.922 --> 48:43.583
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was fun time.

48:44.562 --> 48:45.522
[SPEAKER_01]: if you like down there.

48:45.903 --> 48:49.644
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd like to do a far away wrestling show again sometime.

48:49.704 --> 48:52.465
[SPEAKER_03]: So Vegas to New Orleans is most likely for me.

48:52.485 --> 48:53.306
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see what happens.

48:53.406 --> 48:55.527
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, we're going to review this show.

48:55.827 --> 48:59.068
[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't really scheduled it, but I assume it's going to be Monday morning.

48:59.148 --> 48:59.629
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see.

48:59.949 --> 49:02.470
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's a holiday, but we, you know, three day weekend.

49:02.950 --> 49:14.136
[SPEAKER_03]: That will be nice, and we like, again, they're doing it Sunday into this Saturday, but with, at least I'm off work on Monday, be nice to do a Monday morning review of this one.

49:14.156 --> 49:16.157
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think that is probably going to be the working plan.

49:16.778 --> 49:18.499
[SPEAKER_01]: Frank probably wants to be on.

49:19.059 --> 49:21.581
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the fuck yeah, I mean, Frick, yeah, let's do that.

49:21.661 --> 49:22.521
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's thank you.

49:22.561 --> 49:23.141
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do that.

49:24.182 --> 49:25.563
[SPEAKER_03]: Live perspective, that'll be perfect.

49:26.363 --> 49:28.605
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we can talk about a difference to, excuse me,

49:33.252 --> 49:35.374
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a w in the after the twins.

49:35.755 --> 49:36.575
[SPEAKER_03]: Was that July 10th?

49:36.976 --> 49:37.136
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

49:37.937 --> 49:40.419
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, shock to hear that same.

49:41.780 --> 49:43.662
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that was, that was a cool announcement.

49:43.862 --> 49:47.225
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even want to have to go on run then, but I have to consider going up for that, too.

49:47.586 --> 49:49.307
[SPEAKER_01]: On a Friday, that's really weird.

49:49.728 --> 49:49.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

49:51.717 --> 49:52.598
[SPEAKER_03]: All right guys.

49:53.099 --> 50:00.269
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, for every single person that joined us, whether you're live or on demand, we appreciate you.

50:00.409 --> 50:04.995
[SPEAKER_03]: If you're on the buzzer app, give us a follow here, fun streaming on there for the very first time.

50:05.035 --> 50:06.657
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to post some shorts from the show.

50:07.198 --> 50:07.679
[SPEAKER_03]: on the app.

50:07.699 --> 50:12.124
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a logo again, you download to your phones or you can sign up right on their website as well.

50:12.204 --> 50:13.645
[SPEAKER_03]: BZZR.com.

50:14.426 --> 50:17.149
[SPEAKER_03]: I can say working with them here, moving forward.

50:17.169 --> 50:25.518
[SPEAKER_03]: And then of course, as I said at the beginning, podcasts, feeds, YouTube, number one way to support our show, a measly five bucks a month.

50:26.139 --> 50:31.224
[SPEAKER_03]: to keep this show running is patreon.com slash top rope nation.

50:31.664 --> 50:34.927
[SPEAKER_03]: That's where you get all our our bonus shows in the bonus content.

50:35.087 --> 50:36.268
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what keeps us going.

50:36.288 --> 50:39.852
[SPEAKER_03]: Because without the patreon, we probably wouldn't be doing this anymore.

50:39.872 --> 50:44.256
[SPEAKER_03]: So we appreciate you guys who are supporting us and making this show worthwhile.

50:45.545 --> 50:50.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Eric Brittany, thank you for joining us in Eric, yes, I'll see you in a little less than two months.

50:51.330 --> 50:51.790
[SPEAKER_03]: There you go.

50:52.691 --> 50:56.914
[SPEAKER_03]: Justin, I didn't have too many emergencies with your son, so appreciate you joining us tonight.

50:56.994 --> 50:58.075
[SPEAKER_02]: Looks like he's asleep.

50:58.455 --> 51:04.760
[SPEAKER_02]: All I will add, uh, based off of our last conversation, uh, attack of the clones, fucking sucks.

51:05.160 --> 51:06.682
[SPEAKER_02]: Just off and start watching me.

51:08.083 --> 51:09.684
[SPEAKER_03]: It is that one as a bore.

51:10.004 --> 51:11.806
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I am not a huge fan of that one either.

51:13.082 --> 51:18.906
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks bad, acting horrible, bad story, just, yeah, not fucking good.

51:20.728 --> 51:26.632
[SPEAKER_03]: We have both been going through watching Star Wars with our children, and yeah, we'll keep you updated.

51:28.393 --> 51:35.559
[SPEAKER_03]: Alright everybody, we will see you Monday morning, joy your holiday weekend, joy, double enough people.

51:35.599 --> 51:37.240
[SPEAKER_03]: Talk to you all again real soon, take care.
