00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
music

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Hello everyone and welcome back to Rebooked the Show. We talk about the men and women who

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
be slapping meat in the middle of the square circle and the stories they tell in the process.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I'm GB You got Matt, you have Jake and on today's episode we have a lot to break down

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
and I realize that I didn't send you guys a script for how we do the opening.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It doesn't matter. Jake, what do you think we have in store for us today?

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I think we're going to talk about a little TNA renaissance that happened this weekend.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I like that. Matt, what about you? What do you think we're going to talk about today?

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
I just have a hunch that maybe we're going to give our thoughts on some overs, some unders,

10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
on the AEW Championship storylines going on right now.

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Oh yeah, okay. You know what, I actually, I got to give you guys credit. You definitely looked at the script

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
and I apologize. No, you told us what to say. Damn close.

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
That is true. I did tell you guys what to say as well and I sometimes forget that I'm surrounded by professionals.

14
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So you know, guys, you're just so good. This has been a wild week, just obviously in the world,

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
but also in our little world of wrestling because we've had so many shows go on with

16
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
whether it's TNA, whether it's AEW, WWE and even though there's our Wednesday show,

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
and we typically talk about AEW on our Wednesday show, we're going to mix it up because something pretty big

18
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
just happened over the weekend and that is of course TNA genesis.

19
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
We happen to have an individual who was there in person, who could give us his in-person account

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,000
of how it was and how amazing an experience it could, it seemed to be because, Matt, you guys had a packed house?

21
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Dude, we knew it was going to be pretty damn full and then we found out as the show was going on,

22
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
we were sold out, which was cool because I walked in there and I remember doing a New Japan strong

23
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:17,000
TV taping there in like 2021 with 400 people in that big ass building and we were there,

24
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000
packed to the gills, Curtis Caldwell Center in Dallas, Texas, not to get a little bit...

25
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,000
We outdrew AEW slash Ring of Honor who did a paper view there in recent months.

26
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Josh saying, that's the one part where my loyalties are going to come out, but no, legitimately it was a really good show

27
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:49,000
that felt like, I felt like our stories were kind of very short going into it, either just kind of straight up like,

28
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:56,000
oh, we're two baby faces, this will be a good match or things that were put together in like two weeks from our TV

29
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and that was just some scheduling stuff so it didn't feel super, super narratively heavy coming in with a couple of exceptions,

30
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:13,000
but coming out of this between some of the match results, between some of the things that happened in those matches,

31
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,000
as well as, I mean, this is the big kind of bombshell multi-year partnership officially, you know, we did it last year,

32
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:29,000
but it's like, it is in ink, it is official, this is going down regularly between WWE in particular NXT and TNA.

33
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
It just had a lot of buzz and there's a lot more coming out of what was a really, really good event.

34
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Yeah, it felt like it was a massive turning point for TNA, which is very much needed.

35
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:53,000
I do not believe in the idiotic tribalism, which is why we invented this show to begin with, because it's stupid

36
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
and unfortunately in our capitalistic society, that's always tribalist.

37
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Yeah, I know right.

38
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
We're going to be tribalistic about anti-tribalism.

39
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
That's right, I'd rather be on that side, I'd rather be on that side.

40
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,000
No, but seriously, like because of the way that like our, unfortunately, you have to get philosophical here,

41
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
like fucking, you know, capitalist society kind of always says there has to be a winner and a loser.

42
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000
We've adopted this belief that there can only be one, but that is simply not true.

43
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
It actually, it's a net negative for professional wrestling as we already witnessed.

44
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
It was a net negative for professional wrestling when your only viable option was just WWE.

45
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000
It is not a hit on WWE, it's just competition breeds more success.

46
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
And we, Jake, saw that with TNA this weekend, but we also saw it in particular with a man who I'm so glad I got to introduce you to him.

47
00:04:48,000 --> 00:05:03,000
I believe a TNA rebellion when we went to Vegas a year ago, and that is Joe Hendry, as you see in the lower third, is finally TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

48
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Holy shit, Jake, it took forever.

49
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
We never stopped believing.

50
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
We never stopped believing.

51
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
We never, we never stopped believing.

52
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Yeah, what a, what a huge moment for Joe.

53
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000
What a huge, I mean, like the response online has been tremendous.

54
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I mean, look at him there in the crowd.

55
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
You ever seen him? You ever seen a grown man so happy as he is right there in that photo?

56
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
It's incredible.

57
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And well earned, you know, he's very much been like a pull yourself up by the bootstraps type wrestler, you know, just finding what is, what is his place?

58
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
What is his gimmick?

59
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
What is his niche?

60
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
And just, and just going for it.

61
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Full bore balls the wall, you know, living his gimmick, so to speak.

62
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
And it's paid off like he's got the love of the fans.

63
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,000
He's got the, the, the biggest prize in the company.

64
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:19,000
And like you said, I think, I think that this is the dare say Genesis of some great things to come for not only Joseph Hendry, but for total nonstop action wrestling as well.

65
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Yeah, no, very true.

66
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
The name is very appropriate, you know, for the overall, I guess, direction of TNA is going to be.

67
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Because a lot of other things happen on this show as well.

68
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Right, Matt, that you were, you know, privy to because you were front and center watching it live.

69
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
How was it calling Santana versus Josh Alexander?

70
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Because that looked like that looked fucking crazy.

71
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I mean, it's an I quit match. It's always a bit chaotic, obviously a bit violent, a bit vicious, intense, and especially with those two athletes who define those terms, those two characters who define what I love.

72
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
We don't want to talk about storytelling.

73
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
We talk, we usually talk about overarching storylines.

74
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:15,000
But what I love in this match, too, was storytelling in the ring and people don't, there's so many people who don't understand that term who use it for sure.

75
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
All the time.

76
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Oh, he did this.

77
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000
That's great storytelling because he sold his back there and it's like, Jesus, good God.

78
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000
No, telling a story, doing things for a reason, taking you on a ride in the match.

79
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:43,000
And a great example of this was this matchup at the beginning. You had Josh Alexander, one of the best technically sound competitors again as a character technically sound, you know, master Matt wrestler, all extraordinary Santana.

80
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
They really played into like, he's a guy from New York.

81
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000
He's a guy.

82
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
He's a guy from the streets.

83
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
He's scrappy.

84
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
He wants to fight, especially in an I quit match.

85
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Yeah.

86
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
You saw Josh Alexander staying in the ring every time Santana and try to take the fight out and get nasty.

87
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Alexander got back into the ring.

88
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Nope.

89
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
I'm going to break you down wrestling with wrestling.

90
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Yeah.

91
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,000
And of course, as it always does, it blew up from there and they both ended up kind of taking it to the next level.

92
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
But little things like that I love to see as opposed to just like, Oh, it's an I quit match.

93
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Okay, let's just swing and chairs at each other.

94
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Yeah.

95
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And played into their characters. It played into the story they had leading up to this, which was that Santana, you you're not ready to be the guy here in this.

96
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
You're not ready to be the standard, the face of a company like CNA.

97
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
That's the kind of thing I'm all about because of what I bring to the table.

98
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
And it was it was, it was pretty awesome.

99
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And including the frickin.

100
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And then he took it to literally a little bit.

101
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
I quit match a little too literally.

102
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
It really got to him.

103
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000
So is Josh Alexander actually done with TNA wrestling?

104
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
We'll have to find out.

105
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
And as we said on commentary, it will be addressed this Thursday.

106
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:13,000
You know, you're seeing this on Wednesday, the next tomorrow night, our first live at TNA impact in like in the arena matches in over eight years.

107
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Wow.

108
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Live on Thursday.

109
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Santina Morella.

110
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
That story is supposed to be addressed because you can't just do that.

111
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Contracts are in place.

112
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
That's right.

113
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Again, a lot of the people he thinks he is CM Punk.

114
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
And you can just walk out on a company.

115
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
What is he?

116
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
What?

117
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
That's just a deep cut there.

118
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Well done.

119
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Well done.

120
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
No, but that is that is a very notable thing to point out there folks.

121
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000
TNA is going to be live for the first time in years on Thursday.

122
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
So we're going to get to see and honestly, this is coming up probably at the best time.

123
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000
So don't fuck up Tom.

124
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Yes.

125
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Wow.

126
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Wow.

127
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I know what you should be talking to about that.

128
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Wow.

129
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
I expect you to.

130
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Tom's the one who's supposed to hold it together.

131
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
He's supposed to be the professional best.

132
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Yes.

133
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
He's the conductor of the train.

134
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
He's supposed to be the best of us.

135
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Getting off the rest.

136
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Yes.

137
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Exactly.

138
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000
There were a lot of notable results from that show as we had talked about before with

139
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Joe Henry winning the title and Santana getting his.

140
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Henry.

141
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Henry.

142
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Not Henry.

143
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
I hate the word my bad.

144
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
I hate the letter.

145
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
So many people do it.

146
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
I hate the letter.

147
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
You're not alone.

148
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
And then we also had the TNA World Champions, Hardy Boys.

149
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
You remember those guys.

150
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
You know those legends.

151
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,600
They happened to be defending their title against a couple other young legends in the

152
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:45,600
U.S.

153
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,600
So that was a great matchup that saw FRAXIUM from NXT come out.

154
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,600
FRAXIUM.

155
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,600
Nathan Frazier.

156
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,600
I don't know why I want to say Joe Frazier.

157
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Nathan Frazier.

158
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,600
That's right.

159
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,600
FRAXIUM.

160
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,600
So that was a pretty cool moment there.

161
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,600
A championship matchup.

162
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:12,600
Masha Slamovich properly and definitively defends her title against Rosemary in that

163
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,600
Clockwork Orange.

164
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:22,600
Clockwork Orange, excuse me, match was wild and then comes out Corrigade from NXT.

165
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,600
So we got our next opponent for Masha.

166
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,600
You think, do you think Matt that we're going to see an NXT wrestler?

167
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Hold the knockouts championship eventually?

168
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,600
I feel like or vice versa.

169
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,600
That is one of we had that a couple times last year, especially with Jordan Grayson.

170
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Rascals too.

171
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,600
Rascals, by the way, as we pointed out, technically are owed.

172
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,600
They won a number one contendership match back in September.

173
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,600
Then some shenanigans, Wesley and injuries and stuff happened and they went on, but they

174
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,600
never got their matchup, which I think is why this Thursday is happening in addition to

175
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,600
everything that happened at Genesis.

176
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,600
So it could happen as early as this Thursday because that is an NXT Tag Team Championship

177
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,600
matchup between Fraxium and the Rascals.

178
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:18,600
But to answer your question, I feel like with this partnership in place, again, those now

179
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600
that it's official, like this is not just something we're trying out.

180
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,600
I think both companies are now more willing to, again, from a storyline perspective, write

181
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,600
those stories in because they know they can capitalize on it.

182
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,600
It's not a handshake.

183
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Maybe we'll see you next month thing.

184
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,600
We have a relationship in place.

185
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,600
So I think it's going to happen, whether which way it goes.

186
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:46,600
I don't know which title, but I feel like at some point, it may be this year, maybe next year,

187
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,600
it's going to happen.

188
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:56,600
I'm what I'm hoping is that we can finally do a proper invasion angle.

189
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,600
Oh, that's what I would at least I would love to do.

190
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,600
At least people have taught like a world's collide event.

191
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,600
Yeah, I'm like survivor series style of like this person versus this person, these teams versus

192
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,600
these teams, this match title for this.

193
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,600
I'm going to tell you exactly what I want.

194
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,600
Exactly what I want is a night where we keep score where we do matches and

195
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,600
at the end of it, we keep score and then Shawn Michaels can come out and gloat and then I don't know

196
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,600
Santino can come out and gloat and someone can do their thing.

197
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,600
I think that would be so cool because I just I miss that kind of stuff.

198
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,600
You know, like it was kind of OK when they did it with Smackdown and Raw, but you know, it always felt kind of fraudulent

199
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,600
because it was like internal company stuff.

200
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:45,600
But with this, you can actually like with NXT, especially you can really go nuts because I think will really

201
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:52,600
helps this relationship is that a lot of those NXT wrestlers that are continuing to like develop and grow their

202
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,600
brands and grow themselves even more and more within NXT.

203
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,600
Like having that experience to go and wrestle in a TNA ring is very different, right?

204
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,600
It's such a unique experience.

205
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,600
So they can go there and, you know, take a couple L's, you know, because it's it's fine, right?

206
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,600
I want to see TNA wrestlers though, go to NXT.

207
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,600
I want to see a TNA wrestler hold NXT gold.

208
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,600
That's what I want.

209
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,600
This Thursday, it happens.

210
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,600
If this Thursday, it happens, it'll be sick.

211
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,600
But I actually while we while we are on the subject, let's do a little mini wager.

212
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:38,600
And let's say what is more likely to happen in NXT wrestler holds TNA gold first or a TNA wrestler holds NXT gold first?

213
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:49,600
I'll say in if this were the previous regime, it would def to me, it would definitely be NXT holds a TNA title first.

214
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Okay.

215
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:58,600
But I don't know now, because now it kind of now that now that it's like it and like you said, man, it's not just a handshake

216
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,600
and how you doing?

217
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,600
You guys want to do something fun, but now it's like a but now it's a partnership.

218
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,600
Yeah.

219
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:10,600
I think we see TNA hold gold hold NXT gold before we see NXT hold it.

220
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:11,600
Okay.

221
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,600
So Jake is saying TNA holds NXT gold first.

222
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Matt, I have a feeling I got it.

223
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:22,600
I was I could get all like, well, if you call it down the middle, I mean, I truly I do think it's a 5050 thing.

224
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:30,600
I think it's whatever story is going to fit whatever character is going to ultimately come down how that story is written like all good championship.

225
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,600
But I got a poll for the home team.

226
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,600
Got a poll for the home team.

227
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,600
All right.

228
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,600
I think, you know, I'm going to go against it just to see what happens.

229
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,600
I think NXT will hold TNA and NXT wrestler will hold TNA gold first.

230
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,600
Let us know.

231
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,600
I will say between you two loser shades their head.

232
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,600
Sure.

233
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,600
I'm done with that.

234
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,600
Although I would want the best stories though in wrestling.

235
00:15:51,600 --> 00:16:01,600
I must sometimes because I think you could make a really great story with especially if you have a heel.

236
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,600
NXT wrestler.

237
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:15,600
Take a TNA title because TNA I think is still probably even if it's subconsciously a little bit seen as like the underdog a little bit like we are the smaller company any which way you throw it.

238
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,600
So like the idea of you to heal NXT wrestler.

239
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:30,600
Take a title and have a nice well developed story about reclaiming that you know championship home bringing it home and have that happen at a big moment later in the year always just makes for such good chase.

240
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:38,600
So that's why I think it's always a good story for such good chasing that and trying to restore the you know the honor to it or whatever it is sort of thing.

241
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,600
That's always a really good story.

242
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,600
I could think of the perfect person to do that as well.

243
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Ethan Page.

244
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600
He could be amazing at that.

245
00:16:48,600 --> 00:17:03,600
TNA wrestler TNA wrestler and then he left and then he goes WWE becomes NXT champion loses it in an embarrassing fashion tries to go back to where oh man the story kind of writes itself.

246
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,600
I just want to see it kind of like.

247
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,600
I mean this this has the feel of like private school versus public school.

248
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:27,600
You know what I mean like yeah yeah yeah the preppy private school kids who have their own fancy gym that they can practice in their own whatever think they're big shit have mommy and daddy help them.

249
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:33,600
And then here comes the private school kids who's ready to ready for the opportunity to fuck some shit up.

250
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:41,600
Oh man I think it'll be a lot of fun I'm excited to be so to clarify because obviously we were talking about this being the AEW show but.

251
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:47,600
This is our Wednesday show where we're going to talk about you know AEW and whatever else we can fit in there same thing with the WWE show.

252
00:17:47,600 --> 00:18:01,600
We'll go ahead and shift gears AEW here but if you do want us to continue to keep the conversation going about TNA please let us know in the comments down below we'd love to continue talking about TNA because we literally have Matt here with us and kind of feels like a cheat code.

253
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:25,600
So we want to take advantage of it in any case so let's move on to our next one because we have been covering the story for the last few weeks now it is by far AEW's best storyline it is Tony Storm and Mariah May we have officially made it happen this match will go down at Australia at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam.

254
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Now there's a lot of debate about you know whether or not that is too soon or not but I we have our theories and Jake one of them in particular was this whole Tony doesn't remember what Mariah did to her and Mariah really wants Tony to remember it.

255
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,600
It feels like we're going that way right.

256
00:18:50,600 --> 00:19:00,600
A little bit I mean I think I think tonight on dynamite we're going to get a lot of answers about this when they have their face to face.

257
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:16,600
But yeah, it really does kind of feel that way I'm I'm very interested to see how this all works out it reminds me of a I mean to go back to TNA a little bit there was a there was a storyline for a while.

258
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:23,600
Where do you remember where a BIS disappeared and he became Joseph Park.

259
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,600
Yeah.

260
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,600
And but he would turn back into a BIS if he saw blood.

261
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,600
It's a trigger yeah yeah he was tricky became a BIS again if he saw his own blood.

262
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,600
I'm wondering if we see something kind of like Tony.

263
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,600
Yeah I don't have to be right.

264
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:52,600
There's got to be some sort of trigger some sort of something that Mariah says or that does that boom makes her flip out and and you know makes Tony attack Mariah.

265
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,600
The shoe and then she snaps it yeah.

266
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,600
The shoe the 100% that's exactly what it is.

267
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:10,600
Dude she's going to hit her with a shoe Tony's going to freak out she's going to beat the shit out of Mariah and then she's going to snap out of it with the shoe in her hand and like what did I just do or or I guess would be awesome.

268
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,600
Remind me so how many weeks do we have to grand slam.

269
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,600
I think three or is it two.

270
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,600
Let me see dynamite grand slam.

271
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Maybe four.

272
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Let me find the Australia one.

273
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,600
We have a little bit of time.

274
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,600
We don't have February 15 February 15.

275
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,600
Okay.

276
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,600
So we have about three weeks three weeks.

277
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,600
So we have a little bit of time.

278
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:42,600
So like I think we're going to get some I'm very excited to get some answers because I really think though I don't think it's going to pop off tonight.

279
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,600
No.

280
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,600
I think we're going to we're going to get some nice.

281
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,600
Yeah, I would expect Mariah may is going to come out of tonight being confused.

282
00:20:50,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Like that is going to be I think that is going to be the no but I just think the overall vibe of the segment is going to be like what the hell what is going on here like why why is this happening.

283
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:09,600
That's going to be I think Mariah's vibe because what do you think what do you think is going to happen.

284
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:27,600
I just I think because again all the vignettes and everything like that everybody's kind of had this like oh shucks are like what Tony we know before they can correct her she you know she walks off like everybody's kind of I think Mariah is even that totally with Tony Shavani.

285
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,600
Yeah Mariah is she is going to be.

286
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:42,600
She knows she's like fine I'll take this at fan I think she's going to take advantage of that and be like all like some like four little coming here little rookie and I still think you could have an.

287
00:21:42,600 --> 00:22:00,600
Assemblance of the idea that I wanted in long form of like taking under the wing of just like hey this is your first like again just pandering like this is your first time up at bat for the big let me help you a little bit before we get to that match and here's my idea I'm wondering if this would be more interesting

288
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:11,600
instead of hitting Tony with the shoe like the week before Grand Slam she's she's in the company of Mariah Mariah hit someone else with the shoe and it.

289
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:25,600
Is that what it all comes flooding back and then on that last collision or dynamite beforehand know it would be dynamite she just that's where it explodes and sets up for really exciting.

290
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:40,600
Night at Grand Sam that would be cool that would actually be really cool I would be I think that there are as we've mentioned a lot of times there's so many directions of this story can go in but what's great is that there really isn't like a wrong

291
00:22:40,600 --> 00:23:00,600
direction you know like because even if you like rehash it and you redo the same thing just as they did just in a more shorter truncated time because you want to get Tony the title sooner then I'm not even mad about that I don't think it's a good idea because I really do believe that if Mariah may

292
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:16,600
wins that will lead to something even bigger down the line or at least that's what I would hope for but it's just the story is just cool it's just fun it's good it's good to see it especially considering that you know AWS women's

293
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:35,600
vision oftentimes gets a lot of criticism and I think that this is one of those things that just stands above any criticism because it's just so good. Thank you I think you could even have the moment of Tony like coming to or whatever I think she could

294
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:59,600
lose her match in Australia and then come back out the next dynamite demanding a rematch and she's like a rematch why do you why do you think you should do why do you deserve a rematch and she's like well you beat that Tony storm you still owe a rematch to

295
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:13,600
Tony storm and then she rips open a button and everything goes black and white and white and she pulls up a thing and she's got her hair all curled up. Oh dude I mean if there is a wrestler who would do it it would be her.

296
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:30,600
And takes off his stuff and it's Luther. Oh that would be good. The ultimate reveal of everything falling apart around her. I would be super fine. I love that. You know there were some other things that happened across you know AWS you had Christopher

297
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:48,600
Daniels last match. We don't have to touch too much on it because we did discuss this previously about how this really came out of nowhere but now it makes sense that it's his last match so it does feel like it doesn't make it worse.

298
00:24:48,600 --> 00:25:06,600
But the match was awesome. I encourage everyone to go out and watch it. It was actually it was Christopher Daniels. I mean I know he doesn't want to do that again but man he could still go. So that was really cool to see him throw down in a really gruesome bloody I quit

299
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:21,600
match but you know I'm glad we're talking about this for a brief moment then we'll move on to the to over under but it talks to a wider I think issue that we were discussing that we've discussed a lot of times with AWS where

300
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:39,600
there the storylines they're not utilizing these 10 pole moments effectively and and instead they're kind of 0 to 60 in a car. Yeah storyline. Yeah yeah yeah and I think that is that is the the issue right it's that

301
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:51,600
Matt to your point you have a situation where throughout the last few weeks you know Christopher Daniels was coming out telling a hangman page like hey you know you you got to be the guy to step up you got to be the one to do it and then

302
00:25:51,600 --> 00:26:09,600
you know things start to get a little crazy but then I don't know where he like attacks him and then I know where we're in a Texas death match so that was the pipeline for how this came to be. Is it is that like how it is is that like a

303
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:25,600
pro wrestling thing where like you know I guess I'm trying to figure out like how do you get Christopher Daniels his last match right like what yeah it can be like there are sometimes and this is something that people like not everything can be ideal

304
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:41,600
like sometimes it's like there are extenuating circumstances like in all of life like this is not a speculation even this is totally just utterly made up but like real life Christopher Daniels might be like hey I need to stop

305
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:57,600
wrestling ever like I have a surgery I have to get and I have to get it in like three weeks like on my back and then I will be done forever so if we're going to do something we have to do it like now like that does happen and if there or something equally as

306
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:12,600
like puts a line in the sand behind the scenes those kind of things do happen but if that's not on the table things like that that are not on the table especially with it we didn't know at first but it like and I don't think it was called a quote

307
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:28,600
retirement match but we kind of have learned that it is de facto like his last match yeah man just give me a couple of weeks of maybe hang on goading him into the match like yeah come on fine then I'm going to beat the fallen angel and he's like no no no no I'm done I'm done yeah yeah yeah

308
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:44,600
and he beat some down forcing him to answer it and give it to me on on a pay per view give me on grand slam you know what I mean something like that yeah that's actually the point that's an excellent point I think it also boils down to like you know a little bit of the

309
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:59,600
writing right and and as we're seeing with the death writer storyline right now where it really we've been asking for weeks what is the direction what was the purpose what are they doing this for and now here we are weeks later what was the purpose what was

310
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:14,600
what is the point what are they doing this for and we've gotten like you know the the promo glimpses from John Moxley where he's like it's you know I'd someone's got to step up blah blah blah right but it's like the words aren't really necessarily fitting where things are

311
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:29,600
actually is a great segue takes us to a whole new game I should have made a graphic for it but you're just going to have to deal with other graphic for right now I like to call this one over and under going over going under it's a very easy thing

312
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:44,600
we're going to point out you know some of the show some of the storylines going on in a W surrounding the championships right now and then we're going to discuss whether or not we think the storyline is going over or the story line is actually going a bit under

313
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:59,600
okay and this is just an overall thing like where the belt is right now so we got some fancy graphics and all that stuff you know it's just an opportunity for me to make graphics that's that's me I realize that creating this podcast was just me living out my graphic design dreams

314
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:22,600
that's really what this graphic design is your passion it really is it really is alright fellas so let's go ahead and start this off with RT NT champion Daniel Garcia currently he is crossing past the undisputed kingdom and him and him and Daddy Magic are kind of getting goaded maybe into joining a group I don't know

315
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:34,600
and there is no clear like pay per view next opponent for him right how do we feel about Daniel Garcia is TNT run currently

316
00:29:34,600 --> 00:30:00,600
could be better I like him as champion like he's the type of guy I want to hold that belt he's one of these guys he's on the up and up he's a young guy he's really talented and I want to see more from him so like I like him with the title it just seems a little middling right now you know to be like we've seen some setup with with Shane Taylor and his group but I think we've talked about it before like it just feels like a quick TV feud almost like

317
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:17,600
it's for mox was I think it'll happen in the next week or two and it's not going to be a pay per view match it's not going to be a grand slam match so it does feel like I don't know what his overall direction with the TNT title is I there's no clear like here's his next big threat yeah

318
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:35,600
I'm outside of like I said maybe that TV match but like okay and yeah the vibe check is is weak right now but I like him so like I do my I would overall are we do are we making it do we want how do we want to do this we want to come together and consensus

319
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:53,600
or do we want to have individuals that my vote is not deep but it's it's going a little under it's going a little under okay so it's not failing it's not dropping the bottom it's a little under and you know what helps us three of us here so what what the ties being broken so Jake how do you feel about

320
00:30:53,600 --> 00:31:12,600
Daniel Garcia is current run right now is champ I kind of feel the same as Matt honestly I feel like it's something where we're we're trying to find the way and we just haven't quite found it yet it seemed like we were going to I don't know where but it seemed like we were going to certain

321
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:32,600
direction more with that stuff with the death riders but I agree with Matt it's I'm gonna say under by but not by much if this can still be turned into something good yeah and memorable which which he deserves for sure yeah

322
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:50,600
but right now it's just kind of falling flat and flat and wrestling is under so okay there you go so two out of three don't matter what I say it's going to be under no matter what but but but but I do want to point out though that I feel like we are on the precipice of something

323
00:31:50,600 --> 00:32:11,600
pretty awesome with Daniel Garcia he has had some really great moments 2024 was a big year for him obviously winning the TNC championship over Jack Perry but you know like the Continental Classic he got a win over Okada like oh no he tied with Okada he had a he had a big win in the

324
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:26,600
Continental Classic I was like kissing your sister that's okay Jake you were not wrong I don't I don't care for ties I don't care for ties is that spoken from experience

325
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:50,600
I mean you know there's a certain amount of leeway you're given when you are from the state I'm from not me particularly not but in any case so I would like to see this story potentially go with our dear friends the hurt syndicate I think that there is a potential there where hurt syndicate can get involved how does that look don't know right now but we will find out

326
00:32:50,600 --> 00:33:10,600
let's go to next one we have Mercedes money now her current stories as she's going through her belt collector arc a lot Kenny Omega when he did that during the pandemic similar to Daniel Garcia as far as pay per view opponents go there is no clear opponent at the moment for her so she's

327
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:35,600
kind of just like fluttering about and that's because she just defeated me to share kawa at wrestle dynasty to obtain a belt number four which was the rev pro championship belt that would make her a four time champion Jake since Mercedes monies arrival in a W we've been treated to some excellent matches do you feel like we've been treated though to the best that she has to offer right now with this current run

328
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:50,600
nope okay all right that's it so you just going going under I don't like it's like all that like the I don't care about the title collector that like it's I I just I just don't

329
00:33:50,600 --> 00:34:08,600
I mean Kenny Omega did it it was it was at least with like you know it was with with TNA and it was with New Japan and it was I mean I just I just I just don't care I and

330
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:26,600
I wish I did but this this belt collector thing like it just doesn't it just doesn't mean anything to me and and like you said no clear opponent right now she doesn't we don't even she doesn't know who she's going to defend the TBS title against why are we giving her

331
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:48,600
more titles that she has no clear opponent for yeah that she's probably not going to defend on the show hmm yeah I would imagine is the other part of that too so I to me under I I mean my vote for this is under it just it just seems like we're just doing shit

332
00:34:48,600 --> 00:35:10,600
yeah with Mercedes so that it like seems like she has a lot going on but I just feel like we've never had a clear plan for Mercedes was since she came in the front door but that is very after after Willow Willow seemed like there was some structure to it that whole story that they had together kind of friends

333
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:27,600
and then turning and then after that to your point Jake yeah just feels like stuff and we're just we just booked but Camille added a nice little flavor but then she got hurt and quit or whatever and so you kind of lost that aspect to it so yeah I feel like it's

334
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:43,600
I feel like it's under two at the moment yeah yeah I'm you know it is an under we're just going to go ahead and call it what it is it's an under a sound effect we do need it we do need a sound effect but you know I the price is right boom boom boom boom

335
00:35:43,600 --> 00:36:12,600
I will say though that I know I messed that one up but I will say that I feel like the sad reality of this whole thing is that she has been putting on some of the best matches of her career but as we have talked about time and time again

336
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:33,600
on this show it's hard to say hey I am the best wrestler ever when people aren't invested all the time in the matches that you're doing and I think what's helping her is the fact that the matches are so good that people are like no they're like she's genuinely incredible

337
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:49,600
also giving her a lot of that flak but at the same time it's like not allowing her to be able to hit that next level the way that I think she can also and not that this is it luckily she does have a character beyond this so this is more of an aside and

338
00:36:49,600 --> 00:37:14,600
other things yeah but to quote William Regal we already have the best wrestler in the world you know that right at the time when he said it we were talking about Daniel Bryan Bryan Danielson yeah but like we've already got and if you're an A.W. you've got four five six people who use that as their gimmick yeah that's that's Kenny's gimmick that's that was that was

339
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:33,600
Bryan's gimmick that was like everybody was there to be the best the best wrestler in the world yeah Max Caster is trying to use that as a whole impetus for his character change now yeah and it's like you just got to have more than saying I'm the best wrestler alive and I'm the best wrestler in the world

340
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:50,600
I'm the best I'm the best cool we have 18 people who say that to yeah yeah luckily Mercedes generally does and I would love to see her more play keep playing into her the CEO money kind of thing we know she's really good yeah so like but just get right be good stories with those characters

341
00:37:50,600 --> 00:38:11,600
I don't know you're 100% right I just don't want to see the Super Bowl champions go play like the Florida State high school champions like I did you know what I mean like I don't necessarily care that they won that they beat that team yeah it felt different when Kenny was doing it

342
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:30,600
because Kenny was good was I mean he had oh god who was that he took the the the tna or it was a rich one rich one rich one rich one and that was incredible that was an incredible match it was really really good also a great story to because I'll never free when he won

343
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:48,600
how like story how like depressed and how angry everyone was when like Kenny won oh dude was a crazy moment yeah and we just don't we just don't have the just feels like it feels like reheating the problem is is that last week's meal it's mid card titles that's the issue is that it's

344
00:38:48,600 --> 00:39:02,600
it's for it's like the Rev pro championship which is you know the other that's their women's world championship and that one's fine Japan the new Japan strong women's championship is kind of like but they also now they do have the IWGP women's

345
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:20,600
championship which is I think a little bit more of a women's world title so yeah the strong title is kind of but if they lower on the it's weird if they can if they I think they can turn it around by just having someone point out like hey Mercedes it's cool that you have these titles and all but you're

346
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:35,600
not even the best woman in your own company yeah that would be why don't you go collect that title yeah that's a that's a tough slope though because then you can say that for any title that's not a world title and yeah yeah you can

347
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:50,600
I think in particularly collecting I mean because you're talking about a person who's going around calling herself the CEO okay so like she's like I think in this instance and that particular gimmick I actually like that she's a senior vice president at best right

348
00:39:50,600 --> 00:40:07,600
pretty much pretty much awaiting her promotion that will never come because Mariah may holds the championship and I cannot see a world that Mariah may loses that belt to Mercedes Monet I just I mean not right now just especially with Tony storm

349
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:27,600
moving forward though with another championship that is another one that's rough because you haven't seen it much and it's canos gate to cash with the international championship this belt used to be featured on TV every single mother flip and weak emphasis on the flipping because of will

350
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:50,600
aspirate but instead it has gone into the hands of Tecashia and it's kind of just stayed there he yes he comes off every time he shows up as a threat as a heavy hitter you know he had a great match with Hobbs that you know was exciting but it was a very much

351
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:59,600
you know just randomly built not randomly because there was a connection there but they didn't have enough time to properly like dive into that story

352
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:21,600
and really only is ever seen when there are wild group attacks with the Don Callis family and and then he shows up and he's usually like the the X factor that like you know tips the odds in their favor or something like that but in a in a theme that I realize as I was typing out all of these no clear opponent for the title why

353
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:37,600
so I disagree with that a little bit like everything you said is right and I do think I don't want to sound like I'm bagging up but like I think it's an under for me but this is the under that has the mode that is right at the point of turn

354
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:55,600
okay because I think his clear next big opponent nothing officially kind of in line on paper announced anything yet as Jake brings his cat under the the baby hello Dale oh we got it good boy

355
00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:13,600
I think clearly in my brain this is going to Kenny and Kenosuke and I think Kenny as part of his kind of comeback tour is going to win the international title and I think that could raise that title back into the prominence so I think that's where we're going

356
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:28,600
whether that's something like a grand slam or if we're going to wait to like revolution I think that's the track for that so I think this one right now is kind of under but I think it's right there about to take a turn okay all right I like that assessment there

357
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:42,600
Jake you're even maybe if just to be different I will say I will vote over because I think that's happening and I think we're right about to see it okay all right I like that joy is making me excited I won't lie coming into this I was an under but your

358
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:59,600
like excitement for this because I you're right I'm looking at Kenny and will first without realizing that the we're going to do it's going to be faction this has to lead that way we're going to get to that yeah this has to lead that way so I think this will be a

359
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:19,600
an over for me as well but Jake anything you want to add under under why is that under and understandably under the for the exact same reason as the other two and you pointed it out and I was going to point it out as well if it says no clear opponent for the title then you don't know what the hell you're doing

360
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:42,600
you just don't have any kind of plan now could but see this is kind of I think Matt feels a little bit the opposite about this one as he did the Daniel Garcia one and how like it's just a little over I'm giving you a little leeway but no I'm not until you have a clear picture I don't care

361
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:54,600
you know it is a very that is a very good point because it's like do you want to rate it based on where you think you can go or where currently is but you know it's a tomato game so it doesn't really matter

362
00:43:54,600 --> 00:44:12,600
whatever we want for right now though just for the sake of you know because I agree I agree that this this if this goes to Kenny and revolution which by the way I'm 100% going to be there for because I'm off of work so I will 100% be going to that

363
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:31,600
it's an LA it's an LA yeah it's at a crypto arena I will probably $800 to get in the damn door I know I know that we'll have to look at the ticket prices but I'm going to give it an over just for now just for now we're going to give one and over we got to you know see how this plays out

364
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:49,600
but I was coming into this one as an under and Matt you made me a believer so I want to thank you for that I'm too stubborn to listen to Matt okay we need different voices but it's okay but it's okay because I think this one is going to be so clear where we're going right out of the game folks

365
00:44:49,600 --> 00:45:07,600
because it is because you go out of the continental champion just won the continental classic under under and he defeated the collision this past Saturday clear who will be going to be here tomorrow wait a minute hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

366
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:25,600
Well, make a gave Ocata right I forgot about that. What does that tell you though I forgot about that yeah yeah no because that happened and then we had like two three weeks of things and forgot about it and now it just feel like Kenny's going to go for the internet

367
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,600
Internet.

368
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,800
Oh, that was just listening at home.

369
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:31,800
Go ahead.

370
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:32,800
Show it under.

371
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,800
Go ahead, Jake.

372
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,300
Put it again for everyone to see.

373
00:45:35,300 --> 00:45:36,800
I just need a I need a pad.

374
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,800
Like it's like it's a paddles.

375
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,340
I mean, we need paddles like we're auctioning.

376
00:45:42,340 --> 00:45:43,340
We should go.

377
00:45:43,340 --> 00:45:44,340
Yes, we should.

378
00:45:44,340 --> 00:45:45,340
Yes.

379
00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:46,340
All right.

380
00:45:46,340 --> 00:45:48,540
I mean, that one's pretty straightforward.

381
00:45:48,540 --> 00:45:55,240
We have been, I think, on rebooked and I listened to a few other wrestling podcasts,

382
00:45:55,240 --> 00:46:01,200
but I would say that on this show, we go the hardest on the Continental Championship than

383
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:06,080
anyone else because it just it just should have.

384
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,720
They just shouldn't exist.

385
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:11,960
Like you still could have had a Cota win and given him a trophy.

386
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:12,960
You know what I mean?

387
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,120
Like a trophy would have been perfectly fine.

388
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,640
I've been to most of the continents and I just feel very strongly about how they should

389
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:20,640
be represented.

390
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:21,640
So, sure.

391
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:22,640
Yes.

392
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:27,360
I mean, as a Continental enjoyer, you just you just know how she should be represented.

393
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,360
Exactly.

394
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,360
Exactly.

395
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,360
All right.

396
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:35,320
Well, and then we have our next story here, which will be private party.

397
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,480
The young champions who might have met their match because they're going to be going up

398
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:44,960
against a hurt syndicate this Wednesday as they defend their tag titles.

399
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,800
And the question on the mind is, does the party finally come to an end?

400
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:50,960
How's this story been going?

401
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,520
I got to say, this story isn't over for me.

402
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:54,520
This isn't over.

403
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:59,240
I've enjoyed this because when the private party got the belts, it came off of a, you

404
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:04,760
know, a very impassioned like, hey, I want to, you know, like prove to everyone that

405
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,440
we could do this and we could finally be at the top of the mountain and we can succeed.

406
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,440
They do this.

407
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,880
They send the young bucks packing and then, you know, they don't get like necessarily great

408
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:13,880
matches.

409
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:19,280
But where the story is right now, though, with the hurts syndicate, I will give it an

410
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,080
over. I don't want them to lose the belts on Wednesday.

411
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,160
I have a feeling AWS is going to pull the trigger and just give the belts the hurts

412
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,600
syndicate, but I don't think they should.

413
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,880
I think there should be some kind of way that private party weasels out of that so that

414
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,880
we can get another match down the line.

415
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:39,080
But in any case, I'm going over only because of that because I like the fact that hurts

416
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,080
syndicate is in this storyline right now.

417
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,200
Who wants to share their thoughts?

418
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,120
Yeah, I can, I can kind of go on that page.

419
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,920
It's not a super enthusiastic over. But like you said, at least they're going in some kind

420
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,720
of story with a clear map.

421
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:56,040
Even if it's short lived, they're doing something.

422
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,040
Yeah.

423
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:03,080
So I it's not like a huge over, but it's an over for me, I think.

424
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,080
Yeah.

425
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,640
Given the state of some of the other titles, I think this is an over.

426
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,240
Jake, you feel similar or under over height?

427
00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:10,560
What are your thoughts on private part?

428
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:18,240
Yeah, I mean, I think what's been, you know, they have learned, you know, it's a long way

429
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:20,480
to the top if you want to rock and roll.

430
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:21,480
Yeah.

431
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:26,200
And now they're learning that staying on top is even harder than getting there.

432
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,200
Yeah.

433
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,200
And that's a fun story.

434
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:32,440
That's an interesting story, especially from a team who like, you know, sometimes you

435
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,440
win and you feel like, oh, we got there.

436
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:35,440
Yeah.

437
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:36,680
It's it's it's over.

438
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,560
You know, it's like people who climb Everest.

439
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,360
You still got to get down that fucker.

440
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:42,360
That's true.

441
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,360
You got to get down and people die going down to, you know, so like getting getting to the

442
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,160
top is is is hardly all it is.

443
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,760
And now, you know, like you said, they're going up against hurt a family company.

444
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,680
And it's going to be, I think a pretty fun, but I'm giving it an over.

445
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,320
It's giving it an over.

446
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:02,320
I love it.

447
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,320
I love it.

448
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,320
I yeah.

449
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:11,520
The reason why this gets a resounding over as well is because this is this was the best

450
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:19,360
storyline coming out of the the kind of crumbling of like AEW, right?

451
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,920
Like when the young bucks like left and all the shit was like happening each and every

452
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:29,880
week and like, you know, death Rydles, death Riders, excuse me, emerged and all these other,

453
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,280
you know, chaotic things were happening.

454
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,360
And throughout this story, they were always talking about, you know, the young talent

455
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:41,480
needing to step up and private party literally live the storyline out.

456
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:50,280
What I don't want them to do is just take the belt off of private party tonight because,

457
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,760
you know, they maybe feel like it makes more sense to get the belt onto Bobby and shot.

458
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,960
I feel like that would be a very less reactive.

459
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,560
Unless it was like there was a great way you did it.

460
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:00,560
But what are you going to say?

461
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:01,560
Great plan.

462
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:09,240
I don't mind, especially like a young hot babyface act or whatever, getting not squash,

463
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:11,920
but get as a character getting squashed down.

464
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:12,920
Yeah.

465
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,160
As long as we have a plan, like everyone loves to come back.

466
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:17,160
Yeah.

467
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,240
If there's a plan, they lose on Wednesday, but heaven have a nice something laid out

468
00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:24,480
to like revolution over the next month, where they were there getting squashed and squashed,

469
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,560
but they're fighting against the hurt syndicate, fighting the numbers.

470
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,920
And then they win them back in a pretty triumphant moment at revolution.

471
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:31,920
That's cool.

472
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:32,920
Yeah.

473
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:33,920
And it's a short, it's not a suit.

474
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:34,920
It doesn't have to be a six month story.

475
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,800
That's like a month and a half.

476
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:37,880
That's a nice little story.

477
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,720
And it establishes them that they all they did it, but now they've proven that they can

478
00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:43,160
continue to overcome adversity.

479
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,960
Now they're two time champs.

480
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,360
It doesn't always have to be like I win a title and I hold it for a year.

481
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:49,360
Yeah.

482
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:50,360
Very true.

483
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,360
Especially babyfaces got to face adversity.

484
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,440
So I wouldn't mind seeing them chase as long as they don't just ignore them like that.

485
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:58,440
Yeah.

486
00:50:58,440 --> 00:50:59,440
I agree with that.

487
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,440
Jake, anything you want to add on that?

488
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,440
That's pretty much it, right?

489
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:04,440
Yeah.

490
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,440
I'm, I'm, this is one that I'm actually interested to see where it goes.

491
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:09,440
Yeah.

492
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,440
Same, same.

493
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:15,000
Now we're going to move past this one really fast because if we're being honest with ourselves

494
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,640
here, this doesn't require that much time.

495
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,960
The death writers, the trio's titles, I'm just going to go and flat out just say under

496
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,200
right out of the gate for all of us.

497
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,200
It has been an absolute blunder.

498
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,720
There is no, yeah, there's no story with the title.

499
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:28,720
There's no story.

500
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:29,720
There's nothing there.

501
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:34,360
It's, it's just, it's just a thing that they hold right now.

502
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:40,040
It seems like your, your pathway is going to be rated FTR, taken to titles.

503
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:44,000
You are seeing AEW really try to put re-emphasis on trios.

504
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,240
They're forming a lot of trios right now, especially on collision.

505
00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:49,000
So you're seeing what they're doing.

506
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,640
But the problem is that we're currently stands right now with the death writers.

507
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:53,920
It's just not good.

508
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,360
And for that reason, I'm out.

509
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:02,520
So that unfortunately leads us to our last one, which we are not going to talk about

510
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,320
Mariah May because we covered it extensively.

511
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,440
And by the way, that's an over.

512
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:13,880
But it is, of course, our AEW world champion, John Moxley, the leader of the death writers

513
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,960
in a feud with rated FTR, and has said that he wanted someone to step up and forcibly

514
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:24,720
take the title away from him otherwise it stays hidden behind lock and key.

515
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:27,960
And that, and I like the locking key thing.

516
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,600
I think it's cool.

517
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:30,600
It's different.

518
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,040
I just feel like they lose it.

519
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,760
It's in the background way too much.

520
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:41,240
Like, I feel like it should, the belt should be so much more not visible, but like the,

521
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:43,320
the suitcase should be more visible.

522
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,880
You know, it should be like, like Moxley should have it or, and because Marina Shafir is like

523
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,240
doing a good job like making it seem like she's protecting her with her dear life, but

524
00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:54,560
it's just, I don't know.

525
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:55,560
I like it.

526
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:56,560
I like it too.

527
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,800
And I think that's in a weird way.

528
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,480
I think that's kind of the point is that it's not, it's not a focal point.

529
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:04,480
Everything.

530
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,040
It's not until you take it, right?

531
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:11,440
And you all have spent too much time wanting to just covet the big shiny gold belt and

532
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:12,920
I'm here to show you.

533
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:17,960
So I can, I can respect that as much as I understand your point from like just a show

534
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:23,400
and like production branding, even like it can kind of, it can kind of hurt things, but

535
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:28,920
this one is like, this one's a reluctant under for me, not reluctant, but like a sad under

536
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:29,920
for me.

537
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,200
Cause like it has a lot right now.

538
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,280
There are a lot of prominent players in and around the scene.

539
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,720
Like, I mean, Adam Copeland, sorry, Co.

540
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:45,080
Is there again, clearly, I think we're getting there at some point, but an FTR is involved

541
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:49,960
with this, but my big issue is that I feel like we're going there, but in the meantime,

542
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:55,080
and the past several weeks, I feel like it's just the same thing over and over again.

543
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,080
There's a match.

544
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,360
Death Riders run in, there's a match death, which I think also hurt.

545
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:00,360
It does.

546
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,480
Some people talk about in our discord, which you should join.

547
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:12,520
I think it kind of hurts Mox's credo and when he constantly has his team interfering

548
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:17,720
and if they play it into that story of like Mox is cracking, like he constantly needs

549
00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:20,960
people or needs us to, but they're not really even acknowledging that.

550
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,400
It's just like, we're a heel faction.

551
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,520
We're doing heel faction things.

552
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,720
Even though the bedrock of the faction was that these are we are the toughest fighting

553
00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:34,400
is MFers on the roster and it just feels it's been repetitive.

554
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:38,960
So like I want, given the players involved, I want this to be it over, but it's an under

555
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:39,960
car.

556
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,880
Okay, Jake, what about for you?

557
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:49,760
This to me is one of those ones that it's, it's kind of like the, it's kind of like the

558
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:56,440
Daniel Garcia one to me of like, I kind of see a direction.

559
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:02,000
I see a direction they're wanting to go with it, but the execution has not been great.

560
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:08,040
And and and to Matt's point, the whole thing is that the death writers just keep coming

561
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,240
out and beating the shit out of them.

562
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:14,200
And it'd be one thing if like, if like Matt said that was established, just like, we're

563
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,520
going to keep this from everybody.

564
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:22,200
But like, yeah, it undercuts what the whole the whole point of what it feels like John

565
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:29,480
Moxley is trying to say is I want someone to step up and take the title from me.

566
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:35,640
But if the death writers do keep coming in and doing that, and I know people are going

567
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:41,040
to say, well, how's this any different than the bloodline or just just watch it.

568
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,400
It feels different.

569
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,560
It doesn't even like, I don't know.

570
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,320
And you can criticize the bloodline for being directionless at times.

571
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,080
Like there definitely were moments of the bloodline story was there.

572
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,120
I mean, you don't have a story for four years and it not be directionless here and there.

573
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:56,120
Exactly.

574
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,880
But this is like their only story that this is like they've only been doing this for less

575
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:01,880
than a year now.

576
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:02,880
Right.

577
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:03,880
Right.

578
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:04,880
So it shouldn't feel directionless already.

579
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:05,880
Yeah.

580
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,520
But it's honestly felt a little directionless from the beginning.

581
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,520
Yeah.

582
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:15,720
Like it just felt like this abstract concept and nothing.

583
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:18,960
I feel like nothing concrete has come from it.

584
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:24,320
It just feels like it feels like mocks and the death writers are just flicking these little

585
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:28,480
fleas off of their back and being like, ah, this is this is a, you know, yeah, this is

586
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:29,480
of no concern to me.

587
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,720
So you're going over under.

588
00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:38,360
I'm still willing to give mocks and this storyline enough plastic bag to suffocate itself.

589
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,520
But I'm I'm I'm going under.

590
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:41,520
All right.

591
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,720
It's an under two out of three.

592
00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:48,560
But also I was going to go under as well because right now it's just not serving the

593
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,560
the story.

594
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:50,560
It's not serving.

595
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:51,560
The greater good.

596
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:52,560
The greater good.

597
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:53,560
Yeah.

598
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,800
That being said, though, you know, that doesn't mean that the that it's always going to be

599
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:58,800
like this.

600
00:56:58,800 --> 00:56:59,800
Right.

601
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,800
And I think what's going to be really fun is to maybe keep tabs of this.

602
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:03,960
Maybe we can week out.

603
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,040
We'll like keep tabs of like where things are going.

604
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,960
But for the most part, it does feel like AEW.

605
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:11,320
They isn't holding pattern.

606
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,240
They're in a holding pattern.

607
00:57:13,240 --> 00:57:17,600
And I was hopeful that they wouldn't be in a holding pattern when they made the jump over

608
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,720
to Max and, you know, they were on their own streaming platform doing their own thing.

609
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,600
I was hoping that, you know, there would be a little bit more meat on the bone.

610
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:29,960
But thankfully it's not all doom and gloom because you got a lot of great story lines

611
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:30,960
over there.

612
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,800
And again, this isn't to say that like everything's rosy peachy everywhere else because every

613
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,520
story kind of goes in a different direction.

614
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:38,520
Right.

615
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:39,520
That's kind of the fun of it all.

616
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,080
So if this is something you guys are interested in and you want to see us do it for WWE, maybe

617
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:44,800
even do it for TNA, let us know.

618
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,240
We'd love to hear from you. You can join us on the Discord just like Matt said.

619
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:54,800
That of course brings us to our final segment of the day, which is our...

620
00:57:54,800 --> 00:58:02,360
Rebooked 24 seven jump piano of the week.

621
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:07,200
Of course, that is the award that we give to the thing that brought us the most joy

622
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,840
this week in the world of professional wrestling and boy, oh boy, can we use some joy this

623
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:13,160
week.

624
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:18,800
So I have one ready to go if you guys need it.

625
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,560
But you could you could let me know up to you.

626
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:23,800
I got mine ready.

627
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Yeah.

628
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,720
I got I got a I'm all right.

629
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:27,720
I'm all it over.

630
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:28,880
Let's do you got a mull it over.

631
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:29,880
Okay.

632
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:30,880
All right.

633
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:31,880
Well, I'll go first and I'll go first.

634
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:32,880
I got mull it over.

635
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,560
Oh my gosh.

636
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:43,960
I am going to give my Rebook 24 seven champion of the week nomination to a dear friend of

637
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:51,080
the pod rocket King who messaged on blue sky the other day and says, GB, Jake Matt, not

638
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,920
sure if this is a good sign or a bad sign.

639
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,720
But my like on your YouTube short today says that this freaking rocks and you can see that

640
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,680
the light counter is at 666.

641
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,680
Let's go.

642
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:07,240
I thought it was just really, really funny and rocket King is awesome.

643
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:11,920
He's always posted about pro wrestling on blue sky and just seems like an overall decent

644
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:12,920
decent person.

645
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,160
So thank you so much, rocket for that.

646
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,640
You are my nomination for Rebook 24 seven champion of the week.

647
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:18,880
Who wants to go next?

648
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:19,880
I'll go.

649
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,600
So mine is pretty straightforward.

650
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,600
I just throw it out to Jordan Grace.

651
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:31,240
I mean, she had her match at Genesis, which as far as I know, not trying to get to like

652
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,800
everything is fluid and everything like that.

653
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:40,680
But potentially probably her last TNA outing, at least for the time being, that's kind of

654
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,760
been a worst kept secret going.

655
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:51,680
But yeah, I mean, she has just carried TNA in general, but then let alone the knockouts

656
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:59,640
division for the past year and do all the stuff with the rumble last year and all the

657
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:07,120
stuff with NXT this past year and just showing up and showing out and just being a badass

658
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,040
and putting on great matches and just being a great representative of the company and

659
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,040
everything like that.

660
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,040
And went out.

661
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,640
If you didn't see Genesis, whatever you think a test of Lancer is absolutely okay.

662
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:24,360
But the two of them, when the bell rang kicked each other's asses and in an entertaining

663
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:31,240
way in a pro wrestling way, and it was it was a very good wrestling matchup and Jordan

664
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:32,800
is one of the best.

665
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:33,800
Nice.

666
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:34,800
Yeah, I know.

667
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:36,800
Jordan Grace is incredible.

668
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,560
And that that is that is a worthy worthy nominee for sure.

669
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,080
All right, I like that one.

670
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,320
Jake, who you got?

671
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,600
All right, here's mine.

672
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:50,560
Oh boy, requires us requires a little setup.

673
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:58,960
So I have recently kind of kind of gotten back into like trading cards because when

674
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,680
I was a kid, I was super into trading cards.

675
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:07,000
And I brought back like I found this stack of cards at my dad's house that has like a

676
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:12,280
ton of it turns out that this stack of cards may actually be worth a couple months rent.

677
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,200
Oh, so well, take those.

678
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,200
There was a big.

679
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:17,200
All right.

680
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:18,200
My bad.

681
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:25,240
There was a big card that was being introduced by my tops.

682
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:31,360
It's a one of one card for Paul Skeens, who was the NL rookie of the year this year, a

683
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,720
pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

684
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:38,280
And because it's one of one, it has this debut patch.

685
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:39,800
It's autographed.

686
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:48,120
The Pittsburgh Pirates made an offer that if anyone gave them that card, they would receive

687
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:55,280
two season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years.

688
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:01,600
They would get a meet and greet with Paul Skeens, two Paul Skeens autographed jerseys,

689
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:08,080
a softball game for 30 people at PNC Park with coaching from Pirates alumni, a private

690
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:17,640
tour of Pirate City and the park and a pirate's game with Livy Dunn, his girlfriend in her

691
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,000
private suite courtesy of Livy Dunn.

692
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,160
And you want it?

693
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:29,720
And 11 year old found it yesterday here in Los Angeles.

694
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:39,600
So my way, my 24 seven champion of the week is this 11 year old boy who found this card

695
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:46,040
and I'm going to tell you this young man or young woman.

696
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,320
You have the Pirates organization by the balls.

697
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:54,480
No, well, they just all they inadvertently just gave it a value.

698
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:55,480
Yeah.

699
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:56,480
Yeah.

700
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:57,480
Exactly.

701
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:58,480
Exactly.

702
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,840
And then you have even more because of the demand, the demand from the organization

703
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:03,840
for it.

704
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:04,840
Hold on to that.

705
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,840
I mean, work them.

706
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:07,840
Mark.

707
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:08,840
That's yeah.

708
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:09,840
Rain them.

709
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:10,840
You drain them.

710
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:11,840
Rain them.

711
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:17,640
Tell them I'm in LA, I ain't getting on a plane just send a six figure check to my door.

712
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,240
I live across the fucking country.

713
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:20,840
What am I going to do with two home?

714
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,120
I'm not coming back and forth to go to games for the next four decades.

715
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:29,280
If I'm the parents of that kid, I'm like, you are paying for my child to go to any college

716
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:33,680
that they want in this country, in any place in the world right now.

717
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:34,680
Go for it.

718
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:35,680
Have fun because you know what?

719
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:39,400
Probably would cost less than what they would be willing to spend if some, you know, like

720
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:44,360
rich asshole with true greed, man, she gets hands on the outside of an 11 year old, you

721
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:49,800
know, I mean, what one can hold the parents think about the future?

722
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,280
That has been out there for like six months.

723
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:53,280
It was announced.

724
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,880
Paul Schien's was like, I want that card.

725
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:56,880
Holy crap.

726
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,320
The pirates were like, if you get him this car, we'll throw in all this shit.

727
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:04,080
That's an 11 year old found it here in LA.

728
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,080
Over the hell.

729
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:06,080
Yeah.

730
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:07,080
You know, I don't know who to give it to.

731
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,080
I'll give it to the 11 year old.

732
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:14,360
So I think I think I think you're not going to hear the other thing, kid.

733
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:15,960
It's not going to get any better from here.

734
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:16,960
No, it's really not.

735
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,800
So cherish this moment.

736
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:21,640
