What's really good ladies and gentlemen is the OG Boris with Don Dada.
I'm here with Mr. Rob K, our wrestling network, MLW Confusion.
This has nothing to do with MLW.
So I listen, I've seen it right before going on.
We were talking about what the hell are we going to talk about?
Randomly going on Twitter, I see that Tony Khan is sitting down with Shane McMahon, Shane
O'Mack, and people are actually like, Oh shit, is this going to fucking happen?
So I know you know wrestling better than I do.
I'm going to ask you and then I'll piggyback.
This has been obviously a surprise because the seeds of this was planted a couple of
months ago.
Something had come out in the rumor mill that Shane McMahon had basically put in kind of
like feelers out about joining AEW.
Tony Khan denied all of it, but said like playing PC about it.
Just like, I wouldn't be opposed to it, but we're not doing anything right now.
And then I guess this picture that is popping up today was taken Monday, allegedly, in a
private suite in an airport.
So it was kind of an impromptu in terms of its location.
But yeah, crazy go nuts.
Who knows what this will be?
The internet is of course a blaze about it with its various possibilities.
And of course, the tribal warfare is going to come out there is out there already with
like Shane O'Mack's no good.
And like, oh yes, Shane O'Mack will be the savior of AEW when we don't even know what
capacity Shane O'Mack will even be in because let's face it, like even before we talk about
like potential roles for Shane O'Mack, AEW has not been above only bringing in a person
for one appearance.
Like this is even speculating that they're talking about bringing Shane O'Mack in.
This could have been just like a weird little like executive phone call kind of thing.
Like I don't know what Shane's up to now that he's left the WWE for like the third time.
Like he's, you know, I guess I could go look, but that's how little I actually care about
Shane McMahon.
But like, but like the speculation is wild upon this.
And but if we're going to look at them as like some sort of talent within AEW, AEW has
not been opposed to bringing in people for one shots just to kind of do it.
They did it during the, I mean, most even go so far back as with the Dark Order with
who was the exalted one of the Dark Order.
Like they even brought in guys who like functionally speaking wouldn't have been a bad choice.
And like the form of Raven, for example, like they brought him in and just had him sitting
in the crowd and didn't do anything.
They brought like Eric Bischoff in to moderate a debate between Chris Jericho and Orange
Cassidy.
And then we never saw Bischoff again.
So like who knows what we're really, you know, what we're really looking at in the form of
this meeting, you know, but everyone, but everyone wants to just throw out there that
it's either a, you know, onscreen talent or be behind the scenes role, which I guess
I mean, that's about the extent of what you could do in the wrestling industry.
Yeah.
I mean, I like what you said, because I went into this like the last time and yeah, it
was an angle where, you know, Shane McMahon buys WCW and he's going to try and make it
go against his dad and all that shit.
And, but when you said, look, they're not opposed to bringing people off for a one-off
and we all know Tony Khan loves a buzz.
He wants people to talk about AEW and what better way to talk about AEW than have people
actually going like us, what the fuck is going on?
You know, Shane McMahon AEW, is he going to turn his back on the WWE brand?
What's going to happen?
Look, nobody knows, you know, this, like I said, this could just be one of those.
Like you said, yo, let's take a quick picture real quick.
We'll get the internet buzzing.
Yeah, sure.
Cool.
Whatever.
I got nothing to do with WWE.
Cool.
Yeah.
You know, let's do it.
If I want to just take a quick jab, then I'll take a quick jab.
Shane McMahon, I think would be too important for AEW if they were going to bring them in
to not have them on camera some way.
Like that would be the weirdest thing to say.
I love what your ideas are, but let's just keep you behind the scenes, you know?
Yeah.
Honestly, from what I've seen of Shane, especially the last like decade and the things that,
you know, come through the grapevine, really Shane's best work is in front of the camera.
Like unless you're going to make him like just a straight, like unless you have him
off creative, like an actual real executive, like his best work is going to be in front
of the camera.
And I'm not even, and I don't mean his last WWE run where he was the best in the world
and like going toe to toe with everyone.
Dudes like 56 years old and gets gassed walking to the ring.
Like that dude shouldn't be beating anybody.
Like that's, that's like saying, let me come in there and be a world beater.
Like, no, you know, but he can talk, he can get folks talking.
So like the buzz he would bring in, like as an on-street, I'm really hoping more for
a man like fantasy booking at this point as a manager, I think he'd be invaluable.
Like, I don't want to see any more like heel authority figures because that's just so played
out and stupid anymore.
But like as a manager, like I think he could be invaluable just because he could talk and
let's face it, there's a lot of guys in AEW who don't talk well.
Like that is a thing that's kind of like, I don't want to say it's weighing them down
because AEW is a bit more ring, ring focused than promo focused.
But they also like their, they like to go to the new Japan style and have these large
stables with a bunch of guys.
But like, or like he could do that.
Or let's face it with the whole storyline involving the young bucks right now.
What better way to be EVP douchebags than bringing in Shane Oback?
And this is not a visual idea.
I've seen other people throw this out there too.
I'll fuck them because we don't care what they think.
This is what we call it.
But like, but realistically speaking, if you want to come out as some sort of weird corporate
douchebag, bringing in a heel Shane Oback is not necessarily a bad idea to add to your
elite stable.
So I really liked that idea, but I kind of liked the manager idea better.
So I'm going to ask you if you had to pick one guy, this is where we'll leave this craziness
off.
If you had to pick one guy for Shane McMahon to represent and take them to another level,
who would that one guy be in AEW?
Just one guy.
That's actually a really tough question because they have a lot of talents in there that I
think that like could really use that boost.
But it obviously doesn't have to be MJF.
Yeah, yeah, right.
No, it would be fucking hilarious.
But oh, and that's the second one people have been talking about too, was his whole whatever
is he's doing now, Shane Oback would add to that.
But like, I would definitely bring him like I would have him like in its truest form,
probably like unless I'm going strictly storyline, but in terms of like trying to elevate talent
by being around him.
I don't know how like I have I would have to bring in storm this a bit because you put
me on the spot and I didn't take this through.
But like, but like the the whatever the trio is of top flight and action and ready.
I think I think would be would be interesting because like those guys have shown they can
go.
I mean, yes, the injury bug has been kind of bad.
That's one of the reasons why they haven't popped up a bit.
And or giving Danny Garcia something else to do too.
But I don't know if I want to shame the face.
Shane McMahon dealing with Danny Garza Garcia.
Well, I guess I don't think I just I don't think I want to see a face.
Shane McMahon as a manager right now.
And Danny Garcia is firmly entrenched as a face in the moment with whatever he's doing
with MJF.
He's coming back.
So like those are like four guys like I'm lumping top flight plus action and ready to
one because they are almost exclusively wrestling as a unit right now.
But I think but like, like we'll call it like a young gun, you know, to honor muffins, like
a young gun horseman in there.
So we got we got we got we got our four guys.
And then we got Shane back to help elevate them again.
Like you have to give me another like half hour to maybe come up with a story like that
to make sense.
But like just on the spot.
I think that would be kind of fun.
I like the Danny Garcia idea because I was going to say something when you said something
just he just needs some little push to give him there.
He is so close.
But luckily he's really young too.
So he's got the time to figure it out.
But when you said it, like, I didn't think about it.
Like I put I put Brian Cage in my head and I'm like, Oh, Brian Cage has a charisma of
a fucking nut.
So this would be really good for him because anything Brian Cage says, I really don't give
a shit about and if you stuck him, it would kind of be kind of a I'm not saying like a
Brock Lesnar fall aiming kind of thing.
But he could take that role of being that big destroyer kind of guy.
And I think Shane McMahon can actually make him interesting.
But the Danny Garcia thing I think is more of a home run because to me it just makes
way more sense.
That's a Rob Shea for Rob Shea to talk fucking sense into us because it's what he does.
You know, I mean, the fuck.
So we told Tony Khan, Shane McMahon, four out of one, I said, give me one.
He gives me a list.
I'm cool with that.
Well, they were two.
We'll call them two because Tom play action and ready is just a unit.
There you go.
So I like everything.
Oh, last thing.
CEO has brought in Camille, right?
Now, we're talking to AWW.
I got to jump on that.
Yeah, about as well.
We did talk Camille in the past.
Yeah, exactly.
To me, this feels very million dollar man, Virgil shit, except Camille is not a fucking
Virgil.
She could wrestle her ass off, but it just felt like when she's like, I'm the CEO.
I got man money and I bring this bitch in.
And I'm like, yo, she made her look so irrelevant.
Like she's just there.
Like just sit in the background.
Don't say shit.
I don't know.
I thought this was a complete flop after her not being on wrestling for six, seven months.
I mean, I don't think it's a horrible role for her.
I mean, but, but I'm going to do this is that like, and this will, this will catch me some
flack from a lot of the stands out there.
But I don't think.
Mercedez Mone is really capable of elevating other people.
No, if she's if she does, it's quasi accidental by having like a decent match or a match that
somehow defied expectations, which I don't know how that happens because she's that will
all spray levels of having the greatest matches ever whenever she just steps into the rig.
But actually, no, I actually don't mind it.
Yeah, because someone like, especially Heel Mercedes needs someone like almost needs
a bodyguard.
But like, I don't think, but I don't think the million dollar man kind of outside of
like the money kind of like gimmick.
I don't think the million dollar man in Virgil's app or Poe.
I'm looking more along the lines of the two dudes with attitude, Sean Michaels and diesel.
Because well, and just because of the physical differences to where it's like Virgil like
Virgil was buffed.
Don't get me wrong.
He was he was pretty chiseled, but he wasn't a big dude.
Like Dibby Aussie was kind of big and Virgil.
So like, so you didn't really you didn't almost in by Virgil's a bodyguard really if you
think about it.
But like Kevin Nash and Sean Michaels, like for the longest time until diesel kind of
like figured out, like kind of will learn from the best in terms of talking and some
of that charisma stuff, which he didn't have like you watch his early career.
Oh, he was tear he was tear.
I mean, okay, he was all around terribly wasn't even good in the ring, but we can make we
can make jokes about that about his later career too.
But we won't.
But like, but like him and Michaels, like you were just waiting for the day that, you
know, he turned on Michaels because Michaels was an utter dickbag and just abusing the
guy just using him because he's huge, which is we're going to get to point all that here.
Yeah, which I don't have a problem with because let's face it.
I mean, wrestling borrows and steals from itself all the time anyway.
And if it and like, and regardless of my opinion on Mercedes Monet, she is over the crowd loves
her.
And so when it comes to like, we, we, we know, like that, that, you know, she is going to
push Camille to her emotional limits, just being an utter dickbag.
And there's going to be a there will be the time that Camille will snap and allow Monet
to do one of the things she does do rather well actually, in my opinion, selling and
looking like she's been killed.
So you have, you have Camille who, you know, she's called Camille Brick for a reason because
she's built like a brick wall.
And when she finally has enough and does, you know, slams Monet to the ground, like
Monet will look like she's dead and Camille will be that much over for doing it.
See now everything you said once again, I'm a co-sign with I'm going to say, yeah, absolutely.
It's no hate towards Sasha Banks, right?
So just because I think she's average at best on a mic, average at best in a ring and average
at best all around, right?
Like to me, she's wack.
I'm not, I'm not a fan either.
Yeah.
That does not mean that she's not stupid over, right?
Like she's killing it.
She's doing what she does.
I'm just saying what I feel and that I don't have to be right for somebody else.
It's right for me because I don't like her work.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, but I'll put a sign on that one.
Yeah, so I can't wait for the day Camille turns on her and absolutely beats the shit
out of her.
And then we get a title match and or hopefully for a title match and Camille, you know, actually
gets her her her rise again because that right now there was really no real big pop
needs are kind of like what we said.
She's been out of sight out of mind so long.
It was kind of like, yeah.
And she's not and she's not a Jacob Bar too.
It's just going to like fall just randomly throw like a double moon salt for no good
reason to be like.
Yeah, my like she's she is a meat and potatoes kind of worker.
Yeah, so it's going to take time for her to reestablish herself.
So I had that opportunity salute to her and everyone in a W because I think that if they
do this right, it could be a very, very good storytelling going down the line.
So we're Baker and all these other girls salute y'all got another problem on your hands.
That's nothing but good when you got that many problems for myself.
This man, we got one more for you.
We out of here.
That's just just what some people think most Psalms said are really green.
