1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,960
What's good everyone major league pod we are back after two weeks cuz you know and

2
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:41,880
I'm Rob Camber host of the MLW confusion podcast and with me as always ever present the megatron

3
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,960
of wrestling news muffins Martinez muffins how are you doing this afternoon and the megatron

4
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:54,160
now I'm at a septic on now good God I was wondering if we could skip the whole thing

5
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,680
and just go right to the main event cuz I have a lot to say about this you know it's

6
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:04,880
weird like comparatively speaking like there was so much news coming in like that came

7
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:11,440
out of the show like it totally overshadowed like the match listing so yeah like we let's

8
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:20,000
just jump right into things I got my props ready so yeah I wish man now we do it right

9
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,840
let's do the right way man cuz a lot of those a lot of the stuff was good especially that

10
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:33,640
first match each bond and a sugar rocky hermeto you know this is the show started good man

11
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,320
show started good well and I will like I will argue there was nothing inherently wrong with

12
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,680
the show by itself like without every match almost every match had some some some return

13
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,240
or some like giant news piece to come out of it like the only one that really didn't

14
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,040
win was well to the first two matches didn't have anything big come out of it come out

15
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:03,440
of it the two out of three falls and then the host fight second year crew mangers versus

16
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,000
a well I was very surprised that each Iban didn't win to be honest with you I thought

17
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,920
that he would have won the belt I thought that personally I thought that made more narrative

18
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:18,880
sense like the whole point of the story was each bond had been fighting the numbers game

19
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,000
and now we have a match that is literally a numbers game in two or three two out of

20
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,200
three falls and rocky beat and clean like outside of like I mean outside of a two bits two spots

21
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:37,040
of you know some chicanery but like overall like you know he pinned him pretty darn clean

22
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,200
so unless like unless this feud is not over yet which I which thanks to the again I'm

23
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,400
gonna rag on this until they fix it thanks to the new taping schedule like who like we

24
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,120
won't find out whether this this is the end or not for at least two weeks unless they

25
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,760
pop something up on on YouTube well let me ask you a question like does this hurt each

26
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,640
you've been going forward I mean since he lost clearly in the last set or the last pinfall

27
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:11,360
there I mean like can he come back from that I mean he can like he's not like he's not

28
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,560
damaged goods I don't think and let but like any any feud and any loss I don't think one

29
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,920
loss will hurt any individual it's the follow-up to that loss especially in these big situations

30
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:29,200
so you know each of on so as long as each of on like basically comes right back and is

31
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,080
in like immediately establishes himself basically will say just ignoring basically ignores that

32
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,920
the loss ever happened like he's comes in and he's still a ball of fire because he's

33
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,240
got himself over like the crowd is thoroughly behind yes you know so the only way like he's

34
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,520
gonna be damaged is basically if there's no follow-up to this whatsoever I'll compare it

35
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,600
to Kope Kingston losing the World Heavyweight Championship there is no shame being squashed

36
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,680
by Brock Lesnar especially with that size differential what hurt Kope is that as soon

37
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:08,640
as he lost like basically he's like hey former new former WWE heavyweight champion I'm happy

38
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,240
to be here have a pancake you know he didn't he didn't keep any of that fire he had throughout

39
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:20,400
the championship he just ignored like he just ignored anything he didn't want revenge he

40
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,520
didn't want to title back he just went back to playing with the new day and so like if

41
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:31,680
as long as each of on acknowledges and like you know shows the fire and keeps you know

42
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,200
keeps the ball rolling and saying like we're not done yet or you like yes you got me this

43
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,840
time but I will be back stronger you know he will be fine because obviously he'll get

44
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:47,080
the crowd behind him no matter what he does and then like you mentioned a big house fight

45
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,560
there which was a big humongous house fight yeah that was I mean I'll be honest that

46
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,800
was a really really really good match I'm happy that Debbie Boy Smith is back you know

47
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:09,280
100% I had a conversation with the was his name the one who lost to Debbie Boy Smith

48
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:17,000
Manders yeah so no yeah yes yes like you know how he got beat and he got you know the destroyer

49
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,040
whatever and then he tweeted back saying you know well I still got up yeah they got up

50
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,400
and I get up next I was like I don't know about that but well and I think that was and

51
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,320
that was really the story of the match because yeah he did get dominated a big match but

52
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:41,640
to his credit and you know this didn't come from me to his credit you know he did he didn't

53
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:47,200
like stay down he got up until he until he passed out and even passing out he let the

54
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,920
ref know what he thought about it yeah and before he went out and then he got in like

55
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,560
even then as soon as like the match is over he was he was starting to get up before he

56
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:03,160
got blindsided too so and I thought you would be happy with him losing so yes unless you're

57
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:10,040
revenge yeah so like I you know it told the story like again we're looking at this as

58
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,160
a story based narrative it told you know it told a good story and again we'll see what

59
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:22,440
comes after it you know MSL did reference going after the tag titles well again but yes

60
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,200
what should be interesting and one thing we forgot to mention is how the show started

61
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,960
and Max Stryker is no longer yeah we jumped that I did have that first in my notes and

62
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,840
then we just kind of like you know yeah I got salty about things I was surprised I was

63
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,920
surprised and happy at the same time because they never referenced it during the issues

64
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:50,440
on the internet or anything I down Twitter but at least they did good on it he replaced

65
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,960
them like we don't know what happened but I'm pretty sure they say okay we gotta you

66
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,600
gotta move gears here and they brought the guy which I remember him from when they did

67
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,600
the Lucha stop down in Mexico he was doing there with a brusky so I think you're working

68
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,920
good you know I like this guy yeah no it was a welcome change and I for one like a lot

69
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,960
of the internet wrestling community for better or for worse they are awfully hard on Matt

70
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:20,400
Stryker and like I've always I've always thought he was decent at times like I don't think

71
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,400
he deserved a lot of the hate that he will say usually got but I'm I definitely well

72
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:31,440
we've heard on this very podcast and then on confusion my thoughts of what he said on

73
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,480
Kings of Coliseum and we definitely needed a response and we at a certain level never

74
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,680
really got that response and actually visually speaking we don't even know if this was a response

75
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:48,720
I mean let's let's face it nobody said anything it's just like hey here's Christian Cole but

76
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,520
like the timing of it is of course very suspect and Mr. Stryker is no longer on Twitter yeah

77
00:07:54,520 --> 00:08:01,160
okay so yeah so we could assume that he quietly and whispered he got swept away under the

78
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:08,560
rug and let's just kind of say that he never happened he was never here kind of thing yeah

79
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,000
which is honestly for the best because that was the only thing people were talking about

80
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:20,240
last month yes what was the third match after that third match was the dream match uh UG

81
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:27,760
Nagata versus Jacob Pottu yes whoo and that was a fun match overall I'm surprised it didn't

82
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,160
go longer just because of just the guys involved um the only thing I'm going to complain about

83
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,320
and I have my old man yells at clouds moments like pile drivers being kicked out of and

84
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,560
there were three pile drivers kicked out of not like I kept count or anything uh not this

85
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:46,720
match just in general um but like Nagata spent all this time working the arm in the match

86
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:54,360
and then Pottu did the hand spring me salt and that made me salty but you know stuff

87
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:00,600
like that just irks you like you doing all this to work on a body part to take a move

88
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,840
away but you still hit the move perfectly so what's the point of doing all this if he's

89
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,640
doing to be able to do a hand spring elbow thing and not even show any type of wear and

90
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,560
tear on the arm that's being worked on yeah you know but that's the things that kind of

91
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:23,720
gets you upset like what's the point then but overall it didn't ruin the match for me

92
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,040
um but I was kind of surprised like they didn't make it seem a bit more epic because they

93
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,120
really kind of hyped this as a dream match especially since uh Nagata is a legend and

94
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:39,920
then like as we are slowly potentially finding out that uh this is this is Pottu swan song

95
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,720
as well like he's he's going to be he is a free agent he's currently a free agent it's

96
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,080
not precluding him necessarily from working mlw but he's implied that he's not working

97
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,760
mlw because I think he was a free agent right on Thursday and he put it out there and he

98
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:01,840
wrestled Saturday and that which is classy of him to do yeah and and then we saw what

99
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:09,320
happened afterwards when he grabbed the microphone to kind of give us a speech and we saw the

100
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:16,600
flag of country come out that that got chef back excited again and and talking wrestling

101
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:25,200
and we saw like 27 different uh what they call the sentai yeah sendai yeah and then

102
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:32,120
we saw you know max kruger or aka cruel and the indies you know kind of picking up picking

103
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:39,600
up the mantle coming in and kind of decapitating yeah like that that was a very strong visual

104
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,280
like saying what I wanted about the you know the myriad of nameless schools that came out

105
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:50,200
through everything uh the whole faux decapitation thing really really uh stuck with me and it

106
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,520
was a very a very effective visual and what I would like to happen now is that oh you

107
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:00,040
know max kruger was burned in the last match almost two years ago blah blah blah now he's

108
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,120
being reincarnated now his back as cruel you know use that name that he's been carrying

109
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,280
down the indies and hopefully he could bring in his country unit that he's been using now

110
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,800
in the indies for the last two years because he's actually been the main guy carrying the

111
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:23,360
whole contra unit thing out there away from the main shows and still keeping it alive

112
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:30,840
and if they do I mean he has an impressive crew out there down in southern southern heritage

113
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:36,520
wrestling I believe that that's where all that stuff happens um you know and he has

114
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:44,040
a female manager he has he has like four other guys with him so hopefully slowly they'll bring

115
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:50,240
those guys in because I don't you know now if if two is actually gone that's the biggest

116
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,200
guy that was in contra unit gone and then who will you bring from the past that was

117
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,600
there before so I guess totally time we'll see and I'm pretty sure like you mentioned

118
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:08,160
we'll see some kind of rematch at the ferry 29th intimidation games yep they've they've

119
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:17,120
made that official it's signed by somebody before then and they say now come on we're

120
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:23,840
gonna take you down yeah it's a Baclae brawl yeah but I wasn't aware he was still carrying

121
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,920
the flag of Contra but I'm not familiar with his southern work like I see him work a bit

122
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:35,720
more northeast and the northeast he doesn't really carry the crew with him so much yeah

123
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:42,000
yeah it's a sort of southern honor wrestling he does the whole contra unit thing he has

124
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:53,280
a Alex some AC Mac one of the guys from the infantry and then one other guy and then a

125
00:12:53,280 --> 00:13:00,560
female who has like his manager spokesperson who also wrestles and she's a beast so yeah

126
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:09,200
then he's got a hat for you I can't transfer the screens that alright but he's also doing

127
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,800
championship wrestling for Memphis where he's been there the last two or three episodes

128
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:20,680
he won the the Royal Rumble type match and now he's gonna go after Brad Michaels the

129
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:26,960
gun show for the title so as the contra unit so he's definitely bringing the stuff out

130
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:32,440
there if you know if myself you keep yourself up to date on everything wrestling you see

131
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,440
him but like you said you know if you only step to one side you know when you single

132
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:44,320
and got a body issues YouTube because your best friend yeah well and there's there's

133
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:51,960
a handful of blind spots in my wrestling repertoire and the deep south is one is one of them no

134
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:58,640
I'm I'm going to you know humble brag on this one I should have known something was up because

135
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:06,000
I'm being monitored online again by contra so that's been a handful of years since that

136
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,280
happened so I should I should know something was up be careful with that then I've said

137
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,560
if you catch the old episodes of confusion I've said it various times like if you hear

138
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:19,120
me mouth off too much and I'm mysterious to disappear there's a chance that I'm in a bunker

139
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:26,360
in Siberia or the death pits of Cambodia or any or yeah or any other place that Joseph

140
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:32,720
Samayel like to talk about yes pro pro pro pro that was one of the biggest surprises to

141
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,680
me was cruel coming back I was like later on now now yeah because I mean they've only

142
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:45,160
did they've only done like like two maybe three like flashes of that of the black flag

143
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,560
of Contra so I figured yeah I figured like we'd pull it out a little bit more but I guess

144
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,720
I guess with part two leaving I guess they decided like either a this is the plan all

145
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,560
along and I mean fought you obviously should be involved if Contra's coming back in some

146
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,160
way shape or form so I don't know whether they pulled the trigger early on it or if

147
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,640
this is just the plan all along with it but I mean either way I'm I'm but I am very curious

148
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:15,400
to see where Contra goes with this because I definitely like I hope he bring like bring

149
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,360
I shouldn't say necessarily brings you might have it who knows who are all under those masks

150
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:28,040
but I definitely hope he gets he gets he definitely I'm definitely hoping he has like named compatriots

151
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,560
in the group.

152
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:37,160
Yeah, I'm okay with the new old guys too but but it definitely shouldn't be Mads Kruger

153
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,640
and a bunch of nameless ghouls because yeah that that'll be that'll be really lame in

154
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:48,160
my humble opinion which Kruger for better or worse kind of had some problems getting

155
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,440
at various points in MLW getting over and staying over consistently because his book

156
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,200
his book he's been so inconsistent and he doesn't need a bunch of nobody's taking beatings

157
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:05,200
when he's eight feet tall and which most the roster under his boot heels for fun.

158
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,600
That's true yes yes but but and then the other point is we've been talking we've been talking

159
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,280
about it and now this is popped up too.

160
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:19,240
MLW is very heel stably at the moment and he'll stay stable.

161
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,760
I want to take over the promotion.

162
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,080
I mean Salina De Laurenti's promotion is to Rada's is kind of we'll call it distracted

163
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,880
the moment with our next with our next big surprise but like we still have WTF who wants

164
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:37,360
to overrun MLW Contra in the past well for a brief period of time successfully took over

165
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,920
MLW going into the pandemic era and then before this coming distraction promotion on

166
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:49,480
his Dorada was trying to stake a claim as like the the true ruler and matchmaking power

167
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,480
of MLW some kind of like I'm curious to see where this goes because we have like three

168
00:16:53,480 --> 00:17:00,680
different stables who's been bent on MLW takeovers and destruction and and and then

169
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,880
the surprise being the fourth one coming up now.

170
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,720
So yeah our next match which or okay so okay we skipped or skipping a match but we'll go

171
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,760
ahead and talk about it now it's fine we can come back we can come back come back to the

172
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:20,480
other but but going along with the surprise going into our lucha exhibition match mistico

173
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,400
versus a verno they didn't even wait for the end of the match for the surprise to this

174
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,960
yes we started the party with the return of Cesar de Ran.

175
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,680
Actually they've been dropping hints for months upon months and they've just flat out announced

176
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:42,360
that the May show is as tech underground so I mean we kind of had to put two and two together

177
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:49,240
on that because he was the only one who you know used the as tech lucha you know branding

178
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,600
everybody else everybody else you know had some other form of branding to go along with

179
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,520
it but is but is official as of Saturday Cesar de Ran is back he brought he officially brought

180
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,160
in mistico he is ready for violence.

181
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:10,120
Now this match was everything that I always wanted I seen these guys and you know when

182
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:14,920
you bring two guys from Mexico who's worked together for a while is basically bread and

183
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,800
butter you let them go and they do everything they do the thing that upsets me the most

184
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:26,120
is that they have announced this for I want to say last month you know so I'm excited

185
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:32,080
oh we're gonna get some CML guys especially mistico and of course Tony Khan from another

186
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:38,320
company decides well you know I could do that too I'm gonna bring in earlier than you guys

187
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,560
and have them the same week that you're having your show on Saturday I want to have them

188
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,360
coming on Wednesday then I'm gonna have them all get on Friday and I have one of the guys

189
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:53,600
rest on Saturday while you having a show so that kind of got me upset because you know

190
00:18:53,600 --> 00:19:00,280
Mexico was in a bigger promotion bigger channel out there and those guys were out there burning

191
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:08,120
it live and you know now you come down to LMAW you little smaller in Philly you know

192
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:13,560
and they still did this shit if you love Lucha wrestling this is definitely one of the matches

193
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:19,160
that you gotta see a lot of high flying a lot of turning of moves a lot of grappling

194
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,200
everything that you want to see it is there I love the match I just hated that somebody

195
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,640
else took the thunder away from them a couple days earlier yeah I mean if nothing else we

196
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,880
can try to silver lining this and say well if you saw him on AEW now now it can bring

197
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:43,160
extra eyes to MLW because like oh hey mistico is also going to be on MLW especially if like

198
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,880
they went to AEW first and then popped over here I mean it's kind of like the Matt Cordona

199
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,240
thing get it gets his spots in the rest of the country granted he well he was kind of

200
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:57,640
doing stuff he does stuff like every week so like yeah kind of the same but like yeah

201
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,600
like I mean that I mean yeah it did get some of the thunder stolen I think but like I mean

202
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,040
good wrestling is good wrestling and I think if you are going to follow your favorite wrestlers

203
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,920
or follow a type and style of wrestling like you're not necessarily going to miss out of

204
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:18,000
it and I know I know a handful of people who are really happy that lucha is coming back

205
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,760
full form in MLW they're just kind of sad that you know that it's not all on YouTube

206
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,840
anymore and we have it there it's behind it's behind a paywall such as last night but you

207
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,840
know a lot of companies work behind that paywall now so you know that's I think it's an it's

208
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,000
ultimately net neutral it's just whatever streaming services you are going to choose to

209
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,080
afford at the moment and the thing is now the forbidden door thing that's that's already

210
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:48,160
over with now there's no such thing as a forbidden door because every week somebody from somewhere

211
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,720
that you never thought was going to be there is there yeah but yeah and really like the

212
00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:01,960
forbidden door thing is I mean I think is we'll call it kind of passe anyway it's the

213
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,720
forbidden door only really existed within the realms of the wwe because they were the

214
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,280
only company that was refusing to work with anybody else like huge new japan work with

215
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,480
people all the time it works with people all the time like that's not it's not really that

216
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:24,120
big of a deal I mean it is like it is I mean it is mildly you know important to see like

217
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:28,080
some of the top tier guys but like on the flip side of some of those top tier guys already

218
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:34,160
worked for new japan anyway so like I mean is there truly a new dream match to watch

219
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:40,840
can you omega take on someone from new japan because he spent like 15 years there if casual

220
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,480
fans don't watch new japan wrestling they won't see it if they don't get up at three in the

221
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:52,200
morning on a Friday night or stay up that late to watch you know watch a live yeah you know

222
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:59,000
I'm saying is then you know you have no choice like oh my god what well kind of gives new

223
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,200
gives Kenny in AEW oh that's the forbidden door for you I never seen that but you know

224
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:08,280
us we've seen it because we stay on top of everything that happens all over wrestling

225
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,480
so to us it's just a regular thing but somebody knew was like oh wow that's the dream match

226
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:19,440
I never wanted that now I want so yeah I mean I buy that but the flip side given how much

227
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,280
information and streaming media is out there nowadays like if they really wanted to get

228
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,920
it a lot of stuff is on demand I mean yes it's great to have it for on free TV or well

229
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,240
we'll go up quasi free TV because you still gotta get cable most of the time for that

230
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:38,160
at the bare minimum but you know if you if you really want if you really wanted it it's

231
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,760
out there in some way shape or form and then after this match we found out that misty coach

232
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:49,760
gonna challenge a suit of rope car metal for the L my W middleweight champions middleweight

233
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:57,120
champion intimidation games so that right there should be interesting to see if mystical

234
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:01,920
takes the belt and takes it back to Mexico which has been there already with Rocky Romero

235
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,880
so it'd be interesting to see if they do that type of you know title change there so

236
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:13,760
yeah well and and on top of it regardless it'll be a good match because Rocky obviously

237
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:19,960
can work the style and and missed it like mysticos big problem working in America was

238
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,640
working against American style wrestlers when he's putting there with other lucha guys it's

239
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,240
like oh you know he's the misty code old just just a touch slower because that was 15 years

240
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:40,240
ago but yeah place but he's still like he's still amazing just considering but yeah so

241
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,800
he got his family in Mexico you know when he came here he was in Kara so the mystical guy

242
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:51,680
he never came to the United States until now so you know so it is still is still something

243
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,080
new to us even though we see them wrestle under a different gimmick for all this time under

244
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:04,600
a mask well now we're watching him wrestle well yes but now watching him wrestle as his

245
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:10,360
you know his original you know persona kind of gives you that good but like oh she is

246
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:16,480
mystical even though he's been here before but it's really mystical now well and he's

247
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:23,560
he's gotten his footing back because I know like after he got fired like he still had some

248
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,080
problems getting on his feet and kind of like I don't know if he's regaining his confidence

249
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,200
or if they're just other people weren't working well with him because he famously had a terrible

250
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:37,880
match with Ramsterio and that's before Ramsterio started you know you know what a bathing in

251
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:43,720
virgin blood or whatever he did to like totally change his body because because he because

252
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:49,480
he was pretty pretty run down for a time too and then just you know through through a couple

253
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,280
of surgeries and lost a bunch of weight too like you almost can't tell like he's ever

254
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,680
lost a step as well yeah and he's been out but he should be coming back pretty soon as

255
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,960
to you so you know whatever he got left in the tank he's gonna give it out there and

256
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:09,480
you know and keep flying till the body says okay we can't anymore yeah just like just

257
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:15,120
like any good professional wrestler I mean how many of them truly retire man exactly

258
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:21,760
so which which match do we skip we skipped the death machine rules match okay I know

259
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,240
which I figured that was partially a farty and slip on your part because it's not really

260
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:35,280
your style of match well this one is not what I was intrigued but I was like Sammy Gallaghan

261
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,160
I like his work already now I don't like his spitting and I kind of shit that he does that

262
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:45,160
I just kind of like dude come on man just stick to wrestling you know do your job get you know

263
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,200
get the heel pop play with the crowd you know get them upset I love his work and I love

264
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:56,520
the work he did with Tesla Blanchard down in the impact days there so you know before

265
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:03,240
all that shit happened but you know I've always been impressed with Sammy and Akira you know

266
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:09,040
he always since that one match he had with Azucar I see him in a whole different light

267
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:16,640
now I still don't like this whole hardcore all this blood everywhere nonsense thing but

268
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,640
I will one match a show I'm fine with that I just can't have it back to back or stuff

269
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:29,160
like that and overall like they were pretty light on it as well just because Sammy has

270
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,480
kind of moved away from the pure death match stuff himself and he's done more he does more

271
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:40,960
of these hardcore ass bros yeah and and it was like yeah they brought out the barbed

272
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:47,040
wire but really like there was it wasn't it wasn't done in a way to draw blood and let's

273
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,480
also face it the Moodalock with the barbed wire was pretty gnarly so like they like they

274
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,720
got innovative with the stuff and I did like his mouth to where he was opening yeah I'm

275
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:04,800
like oh dude I come on man yeah I also liked using an Akira 8x10 to do the paper cut spots

276
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,160
I thought that was odd and then they they did glossed over it and didn't focus on it but

277
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:17,280
Akira Mooda Mooda missed it because Sammy with a lemon too this was course after Sammy

278
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:25,160
used the lemon on him and on his paper cuts those guys gotta hurt oh yeah as a connoisseur

279
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,680
of death match wrestling I know I've known a handful of guys like would have the death

280
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,200
matches with and usually the lemon lemons are involved with like they call it like pits

281
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,720
of death and and so like they'll have the regular stuff and then they'll be like lemons and hot

282
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,040
sauce and salt and the wrestlers will say like the thing that actually hurts the most is

283
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:46,000
like lemon juice just because I believe the lemon juice and the salt but what white the

284
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:53,000
hot sauce have you ever gotten hot sauce in a place it shouldn't be I hope I'm not because

285
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:03,560
I'm not I've been friend on hot sauce but shit I mean I put the hat on little story story

286
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:12,520
time I have burned my face with a Carolina Reaper oh straight up Reaper I thought I was

287
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,840
being haved I had gloves on but evidently there was a micro tear in my glove and I didn't

288
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:25,000
wash my hands in between removing my glove and wiping my eye actually I like I itched

289
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:33,480
right here and yeah I burned my face pretty darn good I burned it up I had to go shower

290
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,120
and there's quasi video of it on the internet if you go to my and if you go into my real

291
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:45,000
YouTube channel which is also the Nova of Cass that I have a video of me play all playing

292
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:52,440
with the peppers and so I'm like so I'm talking about making like pepper flakes and hot sauce

293
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,760
and whatever but like at the very end is like an extra like I didn't record me wiping my

294
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:03,240
face and you know screaming but I showed like the aftermath and like I had like well team

295
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,280
and that that's just from the pepper like and that there was no cuts on my face that it was

296
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:15,800
that was just skin contact and well I'll stay from the house all then Jesus so yeah ladies

297
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,360
and gentlemen wash your hands wash your hands before you touch any pepper after you've done

298
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:27,240
touching peppers and then we got the surprise of Raven coming out yes Raven made his return

299
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:33,480
which I'm still trying to figure out why now yeah we think that he's gonna side with the calling

300
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:40,280
because that's why he started and he sizes there with Akira so what the hell's going on there

301
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:46,520
yeah that's rather interesting and I'm hoping we will get get an actual explanation as to why

302
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:52,280
so I'm hoping Raven will stick around which which he didn't really do before but yeah because he

303
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:58,200
did kind of like the calling like welcomed him from the stage like they all like taped Akira up

304
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:04,840
and pointed to the stage and then he walked out and I'm sorry my phone is exploding evidently

305
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:13,560
real life is popping up okay it's it's ultimately fine uh non-emergency it's just

306
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,200
there there is a family group chat going on and some traveling so it's one of those like hey I'm

307
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:26,840
safe and then everyone's chiming in like great yes so um yeah but yeah um I thought that was

308
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:33,160
interesting uh Raven making his return because he's been MIA like and it almost like the entirety

309
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:38,440
of the calling's run and they did like reference him being gone and Ricky Champage basically taking

310
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:44,200
over for him so I mean there's some places they can go with it but again it's only going to make

311
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:50,280
sense if Raven stays around if it's just gonna be like Raven's gonna be like I never advocated this

312
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:55,720
throne you took it from me yes you know and then he disappears again like it really didn't mean a

313
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,840
whole lot anyway yeah exactly just what was the point of you coming for yeah but I did I did at

314
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,400
least think it was interesting and and added it was a nice little twist as a way to keep the

315
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,840
feud going without making it necessarily feel stale but we'll see like like the theme earlier we'll

316
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,240
see what the follow-up is to see how it makes sense and fits into the narrative I just hope that that

317
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:21,000
title the middleweight title gets defended sometime because good lord oh the open national open weight

318
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,920
yes he's defending it on those tapings so Jake Chris is coming up with Jake yeah because you

319
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:33,800
know he hasn't defended the title in months yeah he is he is defending I assume we'll see it at

320
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:39,000
burning crush I believe it the next YouTube show is this month that was part of the tapings

321
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:46,440
that didn't that didn't make it all I know is this if by May whoever's the champion I'm praying and

322
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:52,040
I'm gonna petition to core power to give you a title shot where you are the show because

323
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:58,280
everybody's coming in getting title shots is nearly woody then when you're gonna be there in person

324
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:05,240
I'm gonna petition him to give you a title shot because you just you just I'm gonna go for I'm

325
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,960
gonna go for all the titles too because if a second year crew still have the tag team titles I

326
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:16,200
got bone to pick with the one called manders as well I my wife will no no she doesn't like

327
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:23,080
tolerating my bullshit so you will not partner title shot while those bells gotta come to your

328
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:29,640
to you you need a title shot court I know you heard muffins court I guess we're gonna go this way

329
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,960
there we go you heard muffins court I know I know you got feelers when I watch this show

330
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:39,320
no one ever admits it because I'm loud and obnoxious but we know I'm gonna go Twitter

331
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:44,600
things matter things magically appear after we complain about it sometimes yes uh I'm petitioning

332
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:55,560
that every week Nova Alcazar needs a title shot on May 11 so yeah so he is defending the title he

333
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,440
did he is he has defended the title at the tapings that is the Jake Chris debut which I am excited

334
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,760
to see because Jake has killed Jake has been killing it for years and he's been one of the

335
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:12,200
better kept secrets and wrestling like when they came into impact back then I said oh wow they're

336
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:18,120
bringing some new fresh guys and you know and then like they all will do you know they go from being

337
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:24,280
hard to being cold to being on the appreciated get stuck with some dumb story lines and you

338
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:31,080
think wow that turned back quick yeah and I will put over Jake I mean specifically Jake because

339
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:37,240
he's like since his original run in impact like he's had a total body change like yes he has dropped

340
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:43,960
a small person amount of weight um because we know like I had a those who pay attention to the con

341
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,200
I've had him on the show he's a friend a friend of the show and we talk extensively about some of

342
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,160
his demons and one of the things he's most proud of is his weight loss where like he was actually

343
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,640
bigger than me like in terms of weight like at his worst and he's and he put out like that's the

344
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:05,720
one I was wearing the vest and all that stuff like I was close to 240 pounds and he's only like 5'8

345
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:14,760
like he's not that big of a dude height wise and carrying I was 240 I'm 6 feet I wish I was 240

346
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:22,600
but but yeah he then he had his epiphany and went to the you know goes to the gym every day now and

347
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:28,680
his all for gym life takes the selfies to prove it too and again like killing it in wrestling

348
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:34,280
revolver um he had he had like a one-shot back in tna as well where he had that viral moment

349
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:41,800
yeah hitting that cutter midair on uh allen angels which was crazy go back again for like I know

350
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:47,000
they for a while there with uh sammy and then one same we left every side is i live i mean and

351
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:53,880
his wife navia i mean she's she's an awesome talent she should be hopefully you know maybe you

352
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,840
know hit a match or two there mlw i'll be happy yeah i can always use more feather weights

353
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:04,920
yes this but yeah so we got off topic i mean but you know again we're still talking about mlw

354
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:14,040
and mlw and and the debut of jake christ um but yeah so yeah raven's coming back uh speak and

355
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,080
don king made a one night return as well uh they might have actually they might have actually taped

356
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:24,200
something new for him i'm not entirely sure it's a new because i could swore i've heard that same

357
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,160
speech i mean it's always the times he's been there i mean it's always approximately the same

358
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,200
speech but he did add in i don't remember him ever saying bow mya is for the people because he's mostly

359
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,960
during like the straight up heel phase of the bow mya fight club and didn't really hasn't we haven't

360
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:47,320
seen much of him since they became i know face ish tweeners tweeners baby face yeah they're

361
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:54,280
surprised of dunking the shambling corpse of don king was brought back for 30 seconds ladies

362
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:03,880
or ai bow mya bow mya bow mya so i don't know if that was actually dunking or just a ai

363
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,160
disguised as dunking it could be either way they probably had to pay out the law zoo for it if it

364
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,800
is for that yeah for 30 seconds if it's not if it's not actually him and they got permission to

365
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:18,680
use him like that can become cheap or the ensuing lawsuit of using him for that permission that's

366
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:25,640
not going to be a hologram it's a hologram but yeah so that led us into our main event and you

367
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:31,720
said you and you got it you got things to say about it so uh so i i'm going to go along and eat my

368
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:41,480
bread drink my beer as you preach brother you know and my issue is the kojima you know i love kojima

369
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:49,320
he's been there you know he is a you know a veteran you know he's he's a door in japan

370
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:55,480
but you know you haven't come here he's 53 years old i'm expecting he's going to be a good match

371
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:03,560
heart-hitting he's going to put king up more and evade more and for some reason he was the belt

372
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:11,720
which just totally took me by surprise now my thing that i'm thinking is like why did this happen

373
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,880
the guy lives in japan it's not like he's going to be here on a regular basis defending the title

374
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:23,320
even though now we know that he will be defending the title uh in the fair 29th initiation game on

375
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:31,480
a thursday against uh susuki gun so you're you're you're a man they're uh murder i am very happy

376
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:37,960
with this match i'm happy about this too and i was doing enough for the lmw title but what

377
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:45,960
i mean there was the reason like story wise like what does this do for the title i mean

378
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:51,080
they like to me this makes no sense so i went on twitter you know like i will do a friday putting

379
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:59,000
stuff you know my disappointment on it and one of the talents from the show kind of hit me up

380
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:06,360
uh on the dms which i was surprised and kind of you know telling me that this is a good move

381
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:13,080
and he's looking forward to the fairy 29th show blah blah blah you know we go back in

382
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:19,960
forward and then he left me a big voicemail you know telling me that that this is the right move

383
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:27,720
for lmw right now at this moment to kind of get somebody else to come in the house of bigger name

384
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:34,440
trying to do some stuff there especially now with uh susuki coming in in february and hopefully in

385
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:40,840
the future you know like things will change and for me the trustful process of how things are

386
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:48,920
going to go in the future i told them bro i believe you but i'm a couch gm forget that i'm a fan we are

387
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:54,680
internet neckbears ladies you know saying i'm a couch gm people have said the rock just came in

388
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:00,680
into kori rose spot i don't care about that same thing that happened there's everything here

389
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,920
you know i'm saying so another old guy comes in takes the title from a young guy to defend it

390
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:12,200
against another old guy another show coming up before the other month that's going to be a hard

391
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,800
hitting match and by god i'm looking forward to this match by no means necessary i am looking

392
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,680
forward to this match because this is going to be hard hitting but you're gonna have two over

393
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:29,640
50 yo guys wrestling in a main event for a title and then what happens is it's gonna keep the title

394
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,160
is susuki gonna take the title from him and then what's gonna happen in march who's gonna

395
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:43,080
defend it against who it's just too many questions in my head not enough time and my head cannot take

396
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:49,320
all these different scenarios i'm already a libra and we think already as it is but last thing i want

397
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,520
to do is wake up in the morning six thirty in the morning because i have to get ready to work and

398
00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:00,840
the first thing in my mind is why they can't lose the belt why kojima why susuki why you know i got

399
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:11,080
too much stuff kramer yeah i mean don't get wrong like i i am an abashed satoshi kojima guy i had

400
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:18,040
my bread got my beer just like he told us to at the end of the show and so i am definitely

401
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:26,360
have two minds about this because on one hand i am as a pure fan just as someone who watches who's

402
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:32,360
watching the product without it without worrying about going on my podcast getting on the camera

403
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:39,320
here and talking with my bros doing a write-up for we like sports you know but as a pure fan like i

404
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:48,440
love this move like i love satoshi kojima like he is a certified legend in the business etc like that's

405
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:55,800
great but as someone who's like you trying to put things together being armchair quarterback or armchair

406
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:02,600
gm like there's i definitely have some questions about it uh just just because kane has been so

407
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:09,560
dominant and like where where do you really go from here especially since we don't know the details

408
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:15,880
of the talent contract so we don't know how long kojima is going to be to be here uh i compared it

409
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:22,600
i've compared it at least in my head to uh me playing uh total extreme warfare or extreme warfare

410
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:29,880
revenge for stat nerds and game nerds out here where playing as a small playing as a small

411
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:38,280
company i i my world champion kept getting signed by this is a long time ago so either wwe

412
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,600
or tna they kept stealing my world champion because i couldn't afford i couldn't afford a written

413
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:48,120
contract i couldn't afford to lock them down and so just to keep my belt basically within my company

414
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,400
and keep a belt on a real person without having it vacated every month i finally just put it on a

415
00:41:53,400 --> 00:42:00,840
65 year old tito santana that's that's almost kind of how i feel about this just because like again

416
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:06,360
like yes he's a certified of the legend yet now he is the first two he was the first real

417
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,680
there's an asterisk to that because shane douglas threw down the shane douglas was the first mlw

418
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,240
world heavyweight champion and he threw the belt down because court bauer likes to rehash things very

419
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:24,280
well uh but satoshi kujima was the first person to actually win and hold on to the mlw world

420
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:30,360
heavyweight championship and so now he's the first two-time champ which i i do understand the appeal

421
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:35,720
of doing something like that and let's also face it kujima is very over with the crowd at least in

422
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:40,920
philly uh is he that over elsewhere i don't know but he's also but he has made appearances in you

423
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,880
know for other companies on a large scale he wrestled cm punk and cm punk gets to kind of say

424
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,720
who he wants to wrestle like however regardless of how you feel about cm punk uh he doesn't want

425
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:57,400
to wrestle someone he's not going to do it and this was going to be in new york yeah um and

426
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:04,600
i'll go ahead well sit then got away from philly oh oh yeah yeah we are starting the tour phase of

427
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,840
mlw we're bringing back the tour phase so we got new york we got florida and we got chicago

428
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:17,960
yes coming up yes but i i am overall curious and it was very surprised that they chose to drop the

429
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:25,240
title off of kane in the way that they did like like yes it still took two larrys to put him down so

430
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,840
well i'll get we'll give him credit for that but again we look at like the everything else and is

431
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,480
kujima going to be around long enough to make it worth everyone's while to give them the bump that

432
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:43,880
they need it and as such like really like if you're looking to pivot to somebody with some

433
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:50,120
name value or some buzz about them i feel like he that kane should have dropped the title a couple

434
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:56,840
months ago either to richard holiday who is fresh off of oh my god he's back in mlw and this is his

435
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:05,480
first this is his first appearance on a major promotion since uh since his return uh from from being

436
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:13,960
declared cancer-free or matt cardona who is belt collecting and coming around the internet because

437
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:20,440
i don't see kujima holding the title for very long to be realistic like whether he dropped like

438
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:27,960
do i see him dropping it to susuki probably not but where does he go from there was kane get his

439
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:36,440
rematch in april or you know what's i i i just kind of like i'm not sure where where to pivot

440
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,320
from kujima especially if i don't if we don't see kujima necessarily as a long-term champion

441
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,800
and maybe kujima is going to be a long-term champion maybe he is will you know he has an

442
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:51,160
agreement to come in and work because especially with mlw he'll be taping once a month like he only

443
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:57,400
needs to come in for a weekend and do his thing and then he can go back to japan or you know do

444
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:05,240
small tours of the us or whatever it is he wants to do um but i'm just really surprised you know

445
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:10,440
that's the direction that they've gone that they're going to go especially how how much that like they've

446
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:17,000
really invested in kane and how and how he like how he has held the title he's been a very dominant

447
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:24,200
champion defeating like most of their previous champions in the form of tom luller jakefattu

448
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:31,000
and alex hammerstone uh and then we have our secondary set of questions is what's next for

449
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:37,480
bow mya what's yet next for alex kane especially since we already know that he is not going to get

450
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:43,800
his rematch immediately unless there's like some hidden match at uh burning crush that we that we

451
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:50,600
are not aware of yet because i've avoided that much spoilers anyway um you know does he like

452
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:55,880
what does he do does he yeah does he sit and lick his wounds like is he going to be hammerstone and

453
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:02,840
just f off for a handful of months is he going to come back right is he going to come back right

454
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:08,840
away and just like tear things down because this wasn't fair to him or like this is not who he was

455
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,280
or you know is he going to just is he going to be kopey kingston and just be like that's okay

456
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:22,760
bow mya that's okay bow mya um but i know at least i and i thought it was interesting also i should

457
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:28,040
have known something was up because of the bow mya crew that surrounded that usually surround kane

458
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:33,480
like wasn't there like the actual members of the bow mya fey club that wasn't that that wasn't

459
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:40,120
mr thomas wasn't there uh kaiju uh shane edwards wasn't there and i know for sure j buji wasn't

460
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:46,600
there because he did a live reaction of him of kane losing the title and are ritarily tagged

461
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:51,800
to be in it for whatever reason i i think it was a mistype and there's just enough overlap between

462
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:58,360
mlw and mlw confusion that or he wanted to get the word out there from a legitimate wrestling

463
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:05,640
journalist could be that too i don't know um but yeah so like that was kept pretty under wraps and

464
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,920
i definitely like it caught a lot of people off guard again is it going to be the wrong decision

465
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:17,400
again i'm not sure because again like kojima is a big name but i'm not i don't but i'm not sure this

466
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,960
makes narrative sense overall that's the theme of the show the narrative and i don't i'm not

467
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:29,800
entirely sure how that fits in with the overarching narrative well guess how we'll tell and we'll see

468
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:35,320
what happens in two weeks yeah i guess as i said like if nothing else i mean we're unless something

469
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,480
happens in two weeks we're going to one way or another we were getting kojima versus tzuki

470
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:44,920
which is going to be a great match i have no problems that with that being for the title

471
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:51,080
i really like as much as i'm a fan of tzuki like i or of kojima i'm okay with like i'm okay with

472
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:57,320
tzuki winning the title too like i honestly it almost might be refreshing to have like a handful

473
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:03,240
of very short reigns and almost like a batch of transition reigns because so for the last years

474
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:10,760
like people have been holding the belt for over six months plus and like yes like long title reigns

475
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:17,320
can be it can be good but if everyone gets a long title reign like it takes some of the i

476
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,360
think it takes some of the excitement it can take some of the excitement out of it looking at you

477
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:27,720
my head does light bulb just went off because what you said right now so tzuki wins the bell

478
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:38,680
fairy 29th for kojima he's the new lmw champion the first opponent love dog i mean i'm down for it

479
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:46,120
i they have history after what happened a couple of months ago outside the you know of uh the easy

480
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:55,480
easy w arena why not yeah thank no and i and that is something that's missing uh when you don't do

481
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:02,520
a weekly television product is you don't have like you lose almost some of the unpredictability

482
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,720
or like taking out some of the novelty out of the championship matches because when you do it

483
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:11,480
when you have tv every week you can you know you can have your whole kogan come in for a squash

484
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:17,960
match you know and call it good i mean yes this isn't 40 years ago brother jack dude but you know

485
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,520
you can have those little like fun little matches that are just styles clashes just to kind of like

486
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:28,920
pad up the champion's record because because you know champions need to defend their title

487
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:34,440
and like yes if you're only running like once or twice a month like obviously that that makes things

488
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:39,080
a little bit difficult but otherwise you get your brock lesnar's and your roman reigns who hold the

489
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:44,920
belt for you know a year and a half or in the case of roman like three years but the number of

490
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:52,120
defenses is less than 30 you know does it you know are you really that great of a champion

491
00:49:52,760 --> 00:50:01,720
i just say dog comers yeah i just saw he said 999 wins from all televised non televised house shows

492
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:09,800
so he's he's winning records 999 wins he won short from hitting a thousand wins i mean that's

493
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,280
an impressive number i mean and but whole kogan was doing that in a year brother

494
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:25,240
he went five years uh yeah well uh you know um but again like being a fighting champion is much

495
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:31,480
different than you know taking months off at a time as well um and again like mlw you're getting

496
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:36,680
a title defense every month so that's not necessarily an issue but also running that once a month

497
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:41,160
like kind of takes away from some of like some more interesting matchups i think even though if you

498
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,960
know what the know what the outcome is going to be like watching susuki and love dog would be great

499
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,520
but people are going to poop all over that if you do it as like a thriller pay per view

500
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,960
if something you have to spend real money for people are going to poop all over it but if you

501
00:50:53,960 --> 00:51:03,400
have fusion you can do it yes a taping match yeah but now rob i want you to share uh the

502
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:11,000
good news that happened to you last week when you wrote the report there that you did oh okay uh

503
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:17,640
i know it's i know it's my mlw related but it's still kind of cool well i actually i i dropped a

504
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:25,000
second article uh yesterday uh so i have been brought on as a contributing writer to uh we

505
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:33,720

507
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:47,560
sports ball two i notice on your background that you guys really only talk about wwe and aew and

508
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:52,520
i don't pay i pay attention but i don't know if i pay enough attention to it to have good opinions

509
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,160
on it or at least in terms of like weekly roundups or whatever and they're like no just do you know

510
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,960
just do whatever it is you want to do we are looking to get some you know get some exposure to

511
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:11,160
the indies i'm like cool uh so uh i did i have two articles over the last couple weeks uh one is uh

512
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:17,400
uh kind of talking about the most random participants in royal rumble history uh so

513
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:23,640
what those names i forgot about when i read that i was like they're they are out there and and

514
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,960
spoiler for no good reason i did put uh jordan grace on there just to throw a bone because i

515
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:33,720
didn't really throw anybody on the women's side but we've really never had a wtf like women's

516
00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:40,120
you know women's person outside of maybe santina morella but um and then uh yesterday we all

517
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:47,800

00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:46,040
there's no mlw i am trying to get back to the independent wrestling community and uh when

528
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:52,600
mw is not on that week i've been trying to give a spotlight to a random independent promotion

529
00:53:53,320 --> 00:54:01,000
currently uh we we've done uh scw pro which of course always a sponsor for scw pro events at

530
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:09,320
cw pro uh covered uh mid states wrestling out of well the kind of like former mid south area

531
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:16,920
with a little bit more to the uh midwest slant to it uh and uh last week we covered uh effy's big

532
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:24,040
gay brunch which featured the debut of an alter ego of mlw wrestler akira known as maid kira

533
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:30,440
which was a blast and unlocked a kink in the life with the pink hair pink hair pink made outfit

534
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,200
pink crocs too and that but unfortunately that's where i draw the line of being awesome is your

535
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:41,160
pink crocs uh but so that being said check all those things out you know so we got a bunch of

challenge it and get a conversation going because what wouldn't we be if we didn't argue with strangers

552
