Episode Transcript
[00:00:07] Speaker A: In the beginning, the earth was a dark, formless void.
But then God spoke and said, let there be wrestling.
And with that, there was Monday, and wrestling happened on Mondays. And God looked upon her works and said, holy shit, that's a lot of racism in video packages.
On the second day, God got depressed, and lo did she post about it on the DVD VR forums. And with that, there was Tuesday.
On the third day, God said, let there be Wednesday. And lo did the people reply unto her.
We know what that means.

[00:03:54] Speaker A: It's not as interesting, I don't think.
Anyway, I want to tell you all about.
We're going to talk about Cryptids in every single city that we go to.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: You're like, hey. You're like, hey, I got a new bit. And then you're like, there's a zero fan.
[00:04:12] Speaker A: I messed up.
[00:04:13] Speaker B: There's no intro, there's no title to the bit. You're just like, I'm gonna tell you all about Cryptids every day.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: This is what I'm gonna do. Yes. I'm gonna tell you city we go to. I'm gonna tell you what the local cryptid is or whatever local cryptid I could find.
[00:04:28] Speaker B: And all because of the bog lords of Fresno.
[00:04:31] Speaker A: Yes. Because the. The Fresno Nightcrawlers were such a big hit for me. I enjoyed it anyway and this is
[00:04:38] Speaker B: why we do the show as far as.
[00:04:40] Speaker C: Truly.
[00:04:41] Speaker A: Honestly, I thought they were in Edmonton for some reason.
But anyway, there's like a monster and Edmonton that lives in the river. And it's either like a giant fish with an elephant head and teeth and horns that might also be a moose, but apparently Winnipeg has something called Manny Pogo.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: Whoa, Please tell me about Manny Pogo. Is it just Jericho after a night out?
Man, he. Pogo. Yeah, man.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: Man.
[00:05:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: Also known as the Winnipogo.
It lives in Lake Manitoba.
[00:05:21] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:05:22] Speaker A: It's a serpent like lake. It's. It's boring as it's not anywhere.
I don't give a. It's a fake ass lake monster. It's not. The other one was a moose.
It has a sheep like head, but it's okay.
It's like an eel because it's just a messy. Yeah, it's.
[00:05:46] Speaker B: But it's just. It's a Nessie. It's a. It's a sheep Nessie. Okay, well, I for one welcome our sneak, Jesse Cheapnessy Overlords.
[00:05:54] Speaker C: What?
[00:05:55] Speaker A: We should like. They should go to like, Bolivia so I can talk about the Patozi Sheep Slayer. That's a good one. Anyway.
Aw, go to. Go to Bolivia. So they're. Yeah, they're in Edmonton.
[00:06:07] Speaker B: Back in Mexico City. We gotta talk about Chupacabras.
[00:06:10] Speaker C: Winnipeg.
[00:06:11] Speaker A: Chupacabra is in Puerto Rico. Excuse you.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: Pardon me. Pardon me.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: So it is not the fake jackals of the North American Southwest.
So. All right, yes, we're. We're in. We're not in Edmonton. We're in Winnipeg. And Tony. Tony, Siobhan is in the ring, and there's a good and decent man.
[00:06:30] Speaker B: A good and decent man who did not deserve any of this.
[00:06:34] Speaker A: He. Yeah.
And he's just hanging out in the ring and they're gonna. They're gonna do open the show with Kenny Omega and MJF signing their contract for Dynasty and. Oh, no, what happens? The pyro's going off? Well, you know, wacky old aew. They up all the time.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: Audio issues.
[00:06:56] Speaker A: Oh, no, it's. It's actually. They start playing Legendary rock band that everyone loves, Fozzies, number one hit single, Judas.
[00:07:08] Speaker B: He's bad.
[00:07:09] Speaker A: And. Yep, it's. It's Chris Jericho.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: He's back.
[00:07:13] Speaker A: Purple ass jacket. I'll give him credit. He's actually in shape compared to when we last saw him.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: He was gone for a year, so I should hope so.
Though I will say he worked real hard on those abs to the point where I was like, is that. Did he get, like, the surgery where they put the implants in?
Because he's just like, I'm sick of. I'm sick of hearing this.
But, no, not really. I think he just has abs.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: He might have.
[00:07:40] Speaker B: Can you imagine the first time he does a lion salt with the sin and they just burst?
[00:07:46] Speaker C: Yeah, I was about to say that. Could have.
[00:07:48] Speaker A: That comes up later.
[00:07:57] Speaker C: Sorry.
We've already got cuts.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Aesthetic guts. Yes.
[00:08:05] Speaker C: Go back to wwe.
[00:08:07] Speaker A: That is gut. Stolen Valor.
[00:08:09] Speaker B: Yes. Okay, Valor.
We. We're getting ahead.
[00:08:14] Speaker C: 24 inches of intestine.
[00:08:20] Speaker B: Where do you think that intestine went, Kenneth?
[00:08:24] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
Jericho.
[00:08:28] Speaker B: It gave me abs.
[00:08:29] Speaker A: What have you. Yeah. Kenny wakes up. What happened to Chris? Where do you think your guts went?
[00:08:36] Speaker C: We gave your diseased guts to.
[00:08:40] Speaker B: We filled them. We filled them with saline solution to make.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Oh, oh, right, right.
[00:08:45] Speaker C: And then put them in his.
[00:08:46] Speaker B: To make them.
[00:08:48] Speaker A: They. I literally just saw an article about how they're putting, like, corpse fat into people to, like, make their skin better or something. It's like a beauty treatment.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: We've got to be the number one body horror wrestling podcast.
[00:09:04] Speaker A: I am. I'm so proud of that. I'm so proud of that.
Yeah.
[00:09:10] Speaker B: I mean, come on. I'm one of you two a little bit. Yeah. I'm like a day walker. I don't have the patience for goth makeup, but in my heart. Yeah.
[00:09:19] Speaker A: Well, you don't need goth makeup to be in the body horror. Come on now.
I don't like doing any makeup. I just.
That's hard work.
Yeah. So he just comes out and he stands around and they show. I guess it's his dad or somebody in the audience just like.
[00:09:34] Speaker C: And his mom
[00:09:37] Speaker B: was.
[00:09:38] Speaker A: I don't know who that was. He hugged him afterwards. Yeah, yeah. He just came out and just said, winnipeg, Aw, I'm home. And then he took a big fat in the ring and nailed it to
[00:09:51] Speaker B: Triple H.
Pearled his Vince looking mustache and
[00:09:57] Speaker C: to me looks incredibly weathered.
Like, admittedly I'm seeing him 30 years ago, but also.
[00:10:05] Speaker B: Yeah, looks very.
[00:10:08] Speaker C: And like different.
Yeah, it's weird how his face has.
[00:10:12] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:10:13] Speaker C: Set up.
[00:10:15] Speaker B: You haven't, you haven't had Jericho yet in your Aw Times hampter, have you?
[00:10:21] Speaker C: No, and I was happy with that.
I'm of the stance of like, I. If I see you in 97, I don't necessarily want to see you in 2026.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: Like, especially if you've been kind of a dick this whole time.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: Yeah, he's been a dick the whole time.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: Yeah, well, no, he has. It just. It used to be like, like how Christian Cage is a dick where it's like, oh, yeah, that's great. It's his character now I think we're realizing. Oh, oh, oh.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: My favorite thing that people say whenever Jericho shows up is they're just like, he's older now than when Hulk Hogan was too old to be in wwf.
[00:11:07] Speaker B: Jesus. Really?
[00:11:09] Speaker A: Yeah, because.
Oh, no, he's. He's. No, he's older than when Hogan came back to the Fed, I think.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: I mean, God, he is pretty old. Like he's been at this a long time because he, he had what, like five at least? Like what, like five, six years before he. He was in like the Fed and wcw, right? Because he was in Japan. He was in Canada.
[00:11:38] Speaker A: He did Japan, he did Mexico, he did WCW. He was there for. He was there until what, 98, 99.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: All right, so all. I mean. Yeah, but like he had a career. Like he's had a career for a while. God, he's been at this long. He's been here for too long.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: He wasn't like a total unknown when he went to.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: Yeah, she's going to be.
So he's going to be Sting, I think is what he's aiming for is.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: I have heard people speculate that's one of the reasons why he. Because like there was a. It was a big rumor that he was just, he was going Back to WWE to finish out.
[00:12:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:15] Speaker A: And the rumor is that he went with Aw. Because they do retirements really well.
[00:12:22] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Where in the Fed. They don't.
[00:12:25] Speaker A: The Fed would beat him on a random Saturday night's main event and.
[00:12:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:32] Speaker A: Five minutes and.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: And tap out there.
[00:12:36] Speaker C: Oh. Especially since. Well, I mean, Erica brought up that he like Triple H doesn't like him. Like, he doesn't get along with Triple H. There's not.
There's not any really.
[00:12:47] Speaker A: He doesn't get along with Punk is my understanding.
[00:12:49] Speaker B: Oh yeah. He really made the.
[00:12:53] Speaker C: Not surprising, honestly.
[00:12:54] Speaker A: But yeah, I think it's really the Triple H thing because that was. That was always like. Like the thing was Triple H was always the one that had to beat Chris Jericho all the time.
[00:13:05] Speaker C: I can see it. Yeah.
[00:13:07] Speaker B: Because he. Because he was a. Because he was a WCW guy and he was.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: He was over.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: Over. Yeah. No one could be more over because I'm over.
[00:13:21] Speaker C: He was wcw who was also like the very. He's like.
He's vaguely a better Triple H. Honestly, these long blonde hair, better wrestler. Like, that's just life, bro.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: You're not wrong.
[00:13:39] Speaker C: I'm gonna see Triple H. I'm sorry. I'm gonna see Jericho's debut in WCW and I'm gonna see his retirement in aew.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:48] Speaker B: That's wild.
We created.
[00:13:51] Speaker C: It's kind of neat.
[00:13:55] Speaker B: We create a whole ass wrestling fan. It's so weird every time it's like. All right, one more thing before we move on because we're talking about the old times. I. I want to address something quickly on the pod.
[00:14:08] Speaker A: Want to address the issue.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: It hasn't been brought up by any of the fans, but I want to bring it up. Okay.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: Yes, we mentioned Chris Benoit a lot.
[00:14:21] Speaker A: You know, you don't have to do this.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: No, no, I want to because I had the realization and I think it's fascinating science. Okay. Because we had this. This is in the group chat and yes, Hampter did throw the arms up because Benoit mentioned.
We had the realization.
The reason. Because Hatter late. Like I don't know. Go check it out. It's on Blue sky after really, really got me with some this week.
And like the, the ease with which they. They let loose the Benoit humor. It was like just like you can't Hampter.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: I didn't know you were supposed to do that.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: You can't do that. Like it's the thing that like we don't joke about and like. Yeah, we joke about it, but we gotta.
Gotta feel Bad.
And we realized, Yeah, you can make the joke, but then you have to talk about how bad CTE is. And.
And because it's like the most horrific. And we realize it's because you didn't live through that week in 2017.
You didn't. You. You weren't there, man. You weren't.
[00:15:47] Speaker C: It's like 911 and like when Kennedy was shot. I mean, I also come from a true crime background, like, mixed emotions, so.
[00:15:57] Speaker B: You're very mixed.
[00:15:58] Speaker C: Yeah. So also like when you're listening to like 8 hour, 8 hour podcast about like the.
Anyways about like cannibalism and or whatnot. Like at some point you're just like, okay, well, you're just like, yeah, whatever becomes dark.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: His wife's kid. I mean, Ed Gein was worse.
[00:16:18] Speaker C: Yeah, actually, Ed Gein was kind of misunderstood.
Sorry.
[00:16:22] Speaker B: No, Ed Game was very misunderstood.
I grew up. I grew up literally like 10 minutes from. From where he went down. Like not very many years after he went down. So, like, no, Ed. When I learned about Ed Geen, I was like, oh, God, that kind of tracks. You're supposed to check on those guys. Like, like there's. It was the kind of thing where like, like Ed Geen existed locally.
[00:16:49] Speaker A: Somebody was supposed to check on the guy with the severe brain damage.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, you should probably have checked in with that, you know.
[00:16:58] Speaker A: All right. If we're ever gonna be real, I think that there's like way too many people who give Beno and I'll be like, oh, no, his brain. His poor brain is like, that planned this.
[00:17:09] Speaker B: No, dude, that guy was up before the brain.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: I don't care how much brain damage he had. He planned that.
[00:17:19] Speaker B: Yeah, like that. Like that took. That took some doing. So that's the thing. We will joke about it, but we will also recognize them. It's like this tied with Vince McMahon. I will say for the biggest monster in wrestling.
[00:17:36] Speaker A: All right, so let's. Let's.
[00:17:37] Speaker B: All right, so we'll proceed with the show. I just agree with.
We had to bring up the. The science that we figured out because I was like, that's it.
[00:17:48] Speaker A: That's science. She calls it. Come on.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: All right.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: All right. Figure it out.
[00:17:54] Speaker A: All right, so that's it. Okay, cool.
They go to the. They. We still don't get our contract sign and we go to the back because there's a disturbance as well. Osprey is just beating the out of John Moxley.
And we're you to try to get involved and get some off Mox and Then he gets. Tosses some, like, beer kegs because they're in Canada, and they like beer in Canada.
[00:18:15] Speaker B: I guess I was just surprised that the beer wasn't in a bag.
[00:18:19] Speaker A: Oh, that's not how beer works.
[00:18:21] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
I suppose.
A real thick bag. All right, go ahead.
[00:18:31] Speaker A: So this. This begins a. A. A nice running trend of Will Osprey just screaming at the top of his lungs on live TV all night long to the point where Excalibur has to apologize for it. Like, usually he will gloss over when people just get swear words caught on camera. He's like, oh, sorry about that, folks.
William Osprey is just a little heated.
[00:19:00] Speaker B: Turns out when. When they fuse your neck, they let you do that. You know,
[00:19:05] Speaker C: you've taken a hard enough bump that you can get away with saying a couple of F bombs on. On Wednesday night. Like, you let us rich.
[00:19:13] Speaker A: He can pay the swear jar. It's fine.
All right, so now we finally get the contract signing, because I know everybody must have been, like, on pins and needles for this.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: I'm gonna say I was really hoping for some more wrestling this. This far into my wrestling show.
[00:19:31] Speaker C: That is correct.
[00:19:33] Speaker A: In fairness, it wasn't that long. But then the fact that they did this after all that kind of 20. I appreciate.
[00:19:40] Speaker C: We had 20 minutes of. I made a note. So it was like 21 minutes till we got an actual match.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: I.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: That's a little long.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: I appreciate at least that they didn't end the show on an angle.
[00:19:55] Speaker B: All right, maybe this is the.
[00:19:57] Speaker A: This would have been the week. This would have been the week to do it anyway.
[00:20:00] Speaker B: Yeah, anyways. But no, fair enough. I just felt like we. We. It was worth noting because it was a little weird.
Normally they don't do that.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: Yeah. Usually get a first opening mock spot banger, and then
[00:20:18] Speaker A: banger. All right, so we. We start out with.
They let us know that the stipulations for this are if Kenny instigates violence, he loses his title shot, and if MJF does, he loses the title.
So that's crazy. And then Kenny gets some heat on a guy in the crowd, or somebody in the crowd has a sign that says they beat him in Street Fighter, and he's just like, no, you didn't. No, you didn't. My incest character never loses.
That's a whole thing.
[00:20:51] Speaker B: I've taken us on plenty of tangents. If you want to. I won't stop you.
[00:20:57] Speaker A: Apparently, the backstory for Kenny's Street Fighter character that he did the mocat for has Like a backstory where he has an adopted sister that he marries and knocks up or something.
[00:21:08] Speaker C: And it's like, oh, that was that.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: That was that. It was like, Kenny. Kenny Omega incest angle.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: That's a little weird.
[00:21:19] Speaker A: I don't know.
So, yeah, Kenny just comes out and he just gets in the ring and he signs the contract.
And then Max picks up the mic and he starts to say something. K just tells him to shut up in Quebecois.
[00:21:34] Speaker C: Hermes, la bouche.
[00:21:38] Speaker A: I don't know how much French they talk in. And not Edmonton. They're in Winnipeg. I wrote Edmonton through the whole thing because I'm a dumbass.
[00:21:46] Speaker C: No, you're not.
[00:21:47] Speaker B: Hey, hey, hey. You're our dumbass, and we love you. Okay?
[00:21:51] Speaker A: That's right.
God, yeah. He makes fun that. Like, he makes fun of Max that he likes. Prepares his promos in the mirror. And he has hair plugs, which hit because Max.
[00:22:02] Speaker B: Yeah, Max, had a.
[00:22:04] Speaker C: Had a.
A little cheek flush.
[00:22:08] Speaker B: I wouldn't be surprised. I'm just saying. All right, so here's the thing. When you take a lot of testosterone, let's say. Let's say testosterone, you're. You're freaking hair full.
And I'm just saying, Max, I've seen your back knee.
[00:22:27] Speaker A: More like 12.
That's a good one. That's a good one.
Laugh, laugh. You.
[00:22:39] Speaker B: I am laughing.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: I will crash this car. We already talked about how physics breaks when you crash a car.
[00:22:45] Speaker B: I am laughing. Please don't darby me. Please don't darby me and then don't drunk me.
[00:22:54] Speaker A: He tells him that the people are not there to cheer. He thinks the people are there to chill for him. And he's fooled everybody and Tony Khan, but not him. They're not there to see him. They're there to see the best wrestle putting the company over.
[00:23:07] Speaker C: Yeah,
[00:23:10] Speaker B: I. I hear. Okay, real quick. I swear it won't be a long tangent, and it's not a tangent. It's on track.
I.
My little sensors went a tingle, tingle, tingle.
And, like, I don't know, I feel like we might be getting a small.
Kenny, heel turn or heal heel Ish.
I think. I think he starts to, like. I think he starts to, like. Really?
Because he keeps bringing up the wrestling God thing.
I know it's, like, gone the devil, but, like, I feel like he's gonna start to, like, really believe it and start to get a little bit of an attitude and a little bit of an ego and have again, it might go, like, a little. Like, he might, you know, maybe not like a Full heel turn, but like a dark. A dark Omega, you know, like, down the line.
[00:24:01] Speaker A: Sure. Like, that's character development, but it's also, like, you want your baby faces to have, like, a little bit of swagger. Just be like.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: I don't know. It's just that it keeps. I. It was something in the delivery also. I could have. It could have been the grape gas.
[00:24:17] Speaker C: That's so funny because I took away the exact opposite where I'm just like, he sounds actually uncomfortable. Try, like, trying this, like, whole God of professional wrestling. And he automatically just.
He always contributes it to someone else.
And in. He doesn't.
[00:24:38] Speaker B: That's what makes me think that it. It's the opposite.
I love wrestling. This is why I love wrestling.
[00:24:46] Speaker A: I. I don't. I don't want to bring politics into it, but you know what it is? It's very Trumpian because it's like, I. I know people call me.
It's like they're calling me the God of pro wrestling.
Many people.
[00:25:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
I don't know if you know, but they're called. They're saying it. I'm the God of pro.
[00:25:07] Speaker A: I never said it. I don't. But I keep saying it every week.
All right, you know what? I'll give you that. You might be on to something.
[00:25:15] Speaker B: Thank you.
Like, I don't know if it's the trauma or. Or like.
Or. Or I'm actually reading something into it. But, like, that's. That's what I was getting. Like, all right.
[00:25:28] Speaker A: It's the.
[00:25:30] Speaker C: It's the Trump.
[00:25:32] Speaker A: He tells.
[00:25:33] Speaker B: He says, let me just take a big hit of this vape.
[00:25:37] Speaker A: He. He says that the people stood by him even when he was close to death. And he's everything that Max in it.
He never claimed. I never claimed to be the God of pro wrestling, but maybe I'm hearing
[00:25:48] Speaker B: this now for the first time. Wow.
[00:25:50] Speaker A: Maybe I can be. To strike down Max and take a title and keep it from him.
And Max brushes it off and laughs at this. Being Omega at 100 makes fun of bagged Milk.
[00:26:05] Speaker C: Finally.
[00:26:06] Speaker B: My man. My man.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: I will not stand for their bag milk being mocked. So they tell him to shut the up.
Max tells him, just like his boyfriend Koda Ibushi. He's one strong gust of wind from having his career ended forever. And he wants to talk about what keeps him up at night. Why do you think he's so enamored to get this title back? Because he knows that Kenny had a doctor appointment and his guts can explode at any time.
[00:26:34] Speaker B: He went to the doctor, and the doctor said, your guts. They're guts.
[00:26:39] Speaker C: You were diagnosed with chronic guts.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: You have chronic guts. They're getting.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: I've never seen a case of guts as bad in my life.
[00:26:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Holy.
[00:26:49] Speaker A: And I treated. I treated Brock Lesnar.
[00:26:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I. I treated you. Oh, my God. And that. That was a famous case. That. Those were some guts.
[00:26:58] Speaker A: Those are some pussy gods. Oh, man.
[00:27:00] Speaker B: That had to drive himself to Canada because of his guts
[00:27:07] Speaker A: insurance plan.
[00:27:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:27:11] Speaker A: So, yeah, he. He implies basically that Kenny could die, which, you know, wrestling is true.
[00:27:20] Speaker C: Better off dead.
[00:27:21] Speaker A: Yeah. He's trying to submit his legacy before he dies. And he's better off dead when Max is done with him, which, you know, makes Kenny a little angry, and he flips the table.
And our non binary superhero speedball, Mike Bailey, comes out to stop him so that he doesn't lose his title match. And he tells Max he's full of. And Kenny Omega is a living legend, and Speedy wants to fight him tonight in the greatest country in the world, Canada.
And without.
[00:27:53] Speaker C: Without Omega, there wouldn't be aew.
Yeah, there was.
There would be no. Oh, mjf. So
[00:28:05] Speaker B: what.
[00:28:06] Speaker C: That's. Well, that's what. That's what I. Sorry. That. That is what speedball is talking about. Like, he's a little bit legend.
[00:28:14] Speaker B: Fair enough. Fair enough.
I got confused because the Canada of it all.
[00:28:20] Speaker A: No, this is very.
[00:28:21] Speaker C: I don't think.
I don't think, not in my ideology, that Omega. Kenny Omega created.
[00:28:30] Speaker B: Kenny Omega birthed Canada.
[00:28:34] Speaker C: You know what?
I've. I've seen. I've heard crazier stories.
[00:28:43] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:28:44] Speaker C: Honestly. No, It's. It's the 24 inches of his guts that are. That are like.
[00:28:52] Speaker A: That's.
We saw the lake monster.
[00:28:57] Speaker C: God damn it.
We did it. Okay. Mission mission accomplished.
[00:29:07] Speaker B: Severed goat's head to his guts.
[00:29:10] Speaker A: And then. No. And then they sent it back to the 1930s to terrify some local.
[00:29:18] Speaker B: The number one trans body horror wrestling.
[00:29:23] Speaker A: We did it.
We did it.
[00:29:28] Speaker C: I mean, technically, we are. We. We may be the only femme time traveling podcast at this point.
[00:29:36] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:29:38] Speaker A: I doubt.
Maybe. I don't know. I'm glad I set that up.
[00:29:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: Aren't you glad I started a new bit?
[00:29:49] Speaker B: I wasn't gonna tell everyone that me and the clones were working on a time machine in the sub basement, but it's out now.
[00:30:01] Speaker C: There's so many HIPAA violations in this.
That's right.
[00:30:05] Speaker A: Yes. They keep bringing up HIPAA vile. But isn't that a us thing? Like, it doesn't apply to Canada.
[00:30:10] Speaker C: Well, I mean.
Okay, but what. Where? I suppose it really depends.
Canada should have its own medical privacy laws.
[00:30:20] Speaker A: Listeners, please write in and let us know.
[00:30:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I think there is at least two Canadian listeners. least. There's got to be. Come on.
[00:30:33] Speaker C: So it would be under the.
Under the country where the care was obtained.
So I don't know if it was in the United States.
[00:30:43] Speaker A: It could even be in Japan.
[00:30:45] Speaker B: I think someone.
[00:30:46] Speaker C: That's true. Yeah.
[00:30:48] Speaker B: I think someone on Blue sky came out and was like, this is actually how this works last night.
[00:30:52] Speaker A: Blue Sky. Of God.
[00:30:54] Speaker C: Of course it is.
[00:30:55] Speaker A: God. Blue Sky. Thank you, The Juice.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: You got it.
[00:30:59] Speaker A: So Max is not gonna take the match. Kenny tells him that if he doesn't fight speedball, he's missing his balls, so.
But says he's gonna make an example of speedball as an emotional hero.
[00:31:13] Speaker B: A bunch of orky girls are like, is it really that easy?
I've been on a wait list. Like, you could just see.
[00:31:25] Speaker C: You could just call it Max's Doctor, apparently.
[00:31:29] Speaker B: Yep. That's why I've decided every time wrestler makes like a.
An accidentally sort of a little bit transphobic joke, I'm just going to, like, counteract it with, like. Actually, a lot of people would like that.
It's like the dick surgeon all over again. Like, yes, Dick surgeon. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Topanga.
Yes. Actually, if you could point in the direction about things, please, sir.
[00:32:00] Speaker A: All right, so that is kind of it for the Prema portion of the show, as we just jump right into our next match super quick. Oh, yeah.
[00:32:09] Speaker C: I mentioned this in chat, but just here, like, it's hard to stand for America in the best of times, but in 2026 is a choice.
The jingoism is a. Is wild these days for me. That's all.
[00:32:22] Speaker A: That's all it is. It is. At very least, they're leaning into the fact that he's the bad guy.
[00:32:29] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:32:31] Speaker B: It's a throwback to. He's done this bit before. Like, they literally just had all of this stuff on hand because he had done this bit before.
[00:32:39] Speaker C: He's already. I mean, a gimmick. So twice they did it nice or so nice they did it twice.
[00:32:45] Speaker B: Yeah. So, like, it's.
I. I get that, but I think it's also.
It felt very.
It felt like it was trying to be satirical of the jingoism of the early 2000s in wrestling, but given the state of everything, it doesn't come across. It's just kind of like, yeah, yeah, that's not.
Not right.
[00:33:11] Speaker A: Differently. Because, I mean, you could. You can definitely say when he did it with CMLL and, like, when they went to Mexico.
[00:33:20] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:33:21] Speaker A: It's like, okay, maybe this is not great, but, like, Canadians have been booing American wrestlers for decades.
[00:33:29] Speaker B: Yeah. And that.
[00:33:31] Speaker A: But like, this leaning into it at this point with a heel doing it as opposed to just like, letting a baby face get booed because they're not Canadian. Just like, I, I, I don't have a problem with. It is my thing.
[00:33:47] Speaker B: It's like, I don't have a problem, like, I. How did I put it in the case?
[00:33:51] Speaker A: I, I have less. It wasn't with. I have less of a problem with this than I do with, say, whichever could Chuck hockey player. It was. Went and complained that Canadians booed Team America.
[00:34:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:05] Speaker A: Because like, that guy is a.
Yeah, no, I leave that in.
[00:34:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I have no problem. I have, like. And, and that's. I have no problem with it in general.
Like, I'm not, like, I'm never gonna be like that.
Well, I'll say Tony's been on one lately.
But how did I put it? It's not that it was or it wasn't a red flag. It was just a.
It's hidden, like, how do I put. It's hidden differently? You know what I mean? It's like, it's not. It's not.
[00:34:40] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, different. But, like, where I am right now,
[00:34:44] Speaker B: I was just like, this isn't as fun as it used to be.
[00:34:50] Speaker A: I definitely think they were doing a nod to the fact that, like, especially the last couple years, Canadians, when Canada plays the US In Canada, like, they let.
[00:35:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:02] Speaker A: Nasty. And
[00:35:05] Speaker B: they gave us a the tariffs chant this week, which is their right to do.
I'd be mad if suddenly I couldn't have bourbon anymore. Like, I chose to do that to myself. A president didn't do that to me.
[00:35:20] Speaker A: We just get Canadian whiskey. That's what I've been doing.
Shit's cheap and delicious.
[00:35:25] Speaker B: Look, look, look, look. As someone who used to have a problem just gonna say gross.
Bourbon and Canadian whiskey are not even near this. Oh, my God. Get out there.
I'm leaving the podcast.
[00:35:41] Speaker A: You're gonna tell me that? Yeah.
All right. Match. Next match is the trio's match. The demand is taking on Kenny Omega, Brody King, and Jack Perry.
Yeah.
My first comment is if they were just talking about, like, as commentary is talking about how Kenny Omega might just drop dead at any moment. Why is he wrestling?
[00:36:07] Speaker C: Yeah, he just watch him in the ring. It's like, any minute this man's stomach may explode and he may die.
[00:36:15] Speaker A: You could see a death on national basic cable tv.
But no, no, no, he's just like, you can't. You can't be like, all right, Kenny's about to die here. He is gonna take a bump.
[00:36:29] Speaker C: Well, this is. That's also part of my issue with Will Ospreay being around where I'm just like. And they milk it. They milk it. And I'm just like, y', all, y', all, you can't. This is not a good kayfabe.
[00:36:44] Speaker A: There's a little bit of hyper.
Hyperbole. Hyperbole going on here, and it's not looking great.
So anyway, they've the faces run wild after Birdie barks at Ricochet. And then Jack Perry hits a big dive. And then Ricochet tries to suplex Birdie and they do the. The big group vertical suplex spot, which
[00:37:06] Speaker C: gets a big pot.
[00:37:07] Speaker A: Everybody like that. Everybody loves a group suplex spot.
And Jack Perry just kind of running around like a little old Whitland Jack. And then Toyota just runs him over. And this is where we go.
[00:37:25] Speaker C: Toa was just in. In the angriest little choo choo train tonight, which is like a little angry shark train. We're just constantly moving and smashing anyone that gets into his way.
Damn, dude,
[00:37:43] Speaker A: that's. He's a big dude. I give him, man props for just being lord. Yeah. So Nigel, by the way, is on commentary and.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: Oh, God, yes. We. We have to talk about Nigel.
[00:37:58] Speaker A: I don't know if we really need to talk that much about Nigel.
[00:38:01] Speaker C: No, he gets another strike.
[00:38:04] Speaker B: But he gets another strike.
[00:38:07] Speaker A: Yep. Crab does like a half hearted ball chant. And then Nigel's like, if.
Shivani is like, if. I don't know. Shivani is just like, if you like. Ricochet gets distracted and Shivani's just like, if you're a great pro, you don't get distracted. Right.
And she'll just goes, well, you're not a great pro because you get distracted by popcorn.
And there's like a pause before Excalibur has to be like, damn, he got you.
[00:38:39] Speaker C: To be fair, I. Popcorn is, you know, well, well worth the distraction.
[00:38:45] Speaker A: Popcorn is one of those things. Yeah. When you smell popcorn, like before you see it, it's just like, oh, popcorn
[00:38:53] Speaker B: indeed.
[00:38:54] Speaker A: Powerful.
[00:38:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Nigel.
Nigel, in the beginning of this match, though, does refer to Ricochet has a light skinned kingpin.
And several people notice this, including friend of the pod, silent like all.
Hey, Nigel. Hey, Nigel. I don't think you're allowed to say
[00:39:19] Speaker C: he also dick rides. Ricochet. Super.
[00:39:22] Speaker B: Like, just gone.
[00:39:25] Speaker C: No, like, I. I know he's a heel commentary, but.
[00:39:29] Speaker B: Oh, God. Well, because I've heard. I've heard him call. Well, here. This is why it made me giggle, though, is because Nigel isn't calling him that out of thin air.
That is like a thing, like, on, like, social media and stuff and like that. It's like a. I think it's like a nickname that people have called him in the back amongst, like, the boys.
[00:39:49] Speaker A: However, it's his Twitter handle.
[00:39:52] Speaker B: It's his Twitter handle? Yes, it's his Twitter handle. And I'm just like, wanting to be like, look, you don't get to say that.
He gets to say that. But all the other people you see saying that, Nigel, I need you to squint your eyes and tell me what all those people have in common.
I don't understand.
[00:40:11] Speaker A: So, like, listen, I will, I will. I would go back and if it's a nickname that's been used on tv, then I would suggest that it's like, anybody can do it. But I don't think they would go for putting that on tv.
[00:40:27] Speaker B: No, I really don't think they would. So I'm like, I just. One of those things where it's like, I don't think you again, I'm never going. Like, I don't think he was being malicious. I think he was being Nigel.
It's just like, I need.
[00:40:40] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, Come on, think.
[00:40:43] Speaker B: Think for a second
[00:40:48] Speaker A: backstage and talking to all these guys. And he's known Ricochet for a long time. So, like, I'm sure it's not like.
[00:40:54] Speaker B: No, no. And again, this is not me. Like, I'm not, like, upset. I just thought it was very funny.
It was just like, Nigel, you got it? Not.
[00:41:03] Speaker A: Dude's big problem is, like, he very frequently will just go too far because he'll be like, oh, my God. Yeah, your cat was tits. It's like, dude, no.
Yeah, exactly.
[00:41:13] Speaker B: It was like one of those things where, like, oh, it's an on running thing where we occasionally have to strike Nigel. So I was feel like we have to bring up the fact that Nigel gets a little bit of a strike for that one.
Because it's very funny. It's very. It's just very like a Nigel thing to do is like, like. Well, he calls himself that and all these people call him that. I'm like, yeah, but what do he and those people have in common? That you.
The wrestler.
[00:41:41] Speaker C: I used to wrestle.
[00:41:42] Speaker B: Wait, wait, I used to wrestle. I could call.
[00:41:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[00:41:49] Speaker B: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:41:50] Speaker A: All right, so back to the match itself.
[00:41:53] Speaker B: Yeah, back to the match itself. Our first match of the night as we're, like, almost an hour into this recording.
[00:41:58] Speaker A: There wasn't a ton to it, honestly, if I'm being honest. Like, especially, like, the first part, because, like, they come back from commercial. So Jack gets his comeback lariat and tags in Kenny, who comes in. House of Fire takes it. Everyone. You can't. Slate gape.
Dragon suplexes everybody.
[00:42:17] Speaker C: Snapdragon. Yeah, yeah.
[00:42:18] Speaker A: He struggles with Toleona, but then he. He gets tables with a knee and then he gets the. The dragon. And then Brody comes in and hits his big corner. Senton.
[00:42:29] Speaker C: And then con. So he. Khan gets every. Knocks everyone to the floor right after that or shortly thereafter. And then that's what happens.
[00:42:37] Speaker A: And then we get, like the. The choo choo spot.
Yeah, just like, runs over, everybody kicks Birdie in the face.
[00:42:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
Oh, I was watching it again, and I think you were right, Erica. I think his left wrist is messed up. So that's why he wasn't in the match quite as prominently as.
[00:42:59] Speaker A: Who? Brody?
Yeah, he's had that taped up, I think, since.
God. When did he break his wrist? He broke his wrist. Yeah, Years ago. And he's kept, like, the extra tape on it for a while, but, like. Yeah, Brody doesn't really get it tagged into the match. He still does a lot of. But, like.
[00:43:20] Speaker B: Well, he. Well, I mean, he puts himself and another guy through a table at one point.
[00:43:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Speaking of. Well, he took out to us because.
[00:43:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:43:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:43:31] Speaker C: That's the only one who could.
[00:43:38] Speaker A: We'll do this.
Get to that part because, like, they do this.
[00:43:41] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:43:42] Speaker A: They hit a bunch of dives and then ricochet, like, Ricochet, like, hits a tope. It's a tope suicidal and like, every single person in the ring. And then climbs back in and hits a 450 on Kenny. And they're gonna do some kind of doomsday device to Kenny. Jack breaks it up, who gets caught trying to dive on the goa. But Brody suicide times instead. Yeah.
[00:44:09] Speaker B: God, that's wild.
This is gross.
[00:44:12] Speaker A: Everybody on the floor is dead. Kenny and Ricochet fighting in the ring. And that's. They have a really nice exchange.
Ricochet almost gets a pinfall. They try to take out Birdie through the table, but Brody instead just, like, tackles Toleona through the timekeeper's table.
[00:44:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:44:34] Speaker A: Mr. Omega or I Guess. Wait, they're in Canada. It's a French so Mission Omega.
[00:44:42] Speaker B: Oh, Jesus Christ. That was good stuff.
[00:44:45] Speaker A: God, yeah, that was good that like and like that that table blew up because yeah. Two large humans hit it as hard as possible.
Yeah, it was great.
Ricochets, gets Kitty still alone in the ring. He gets vertigo for two.
He's looking for the spirit gun, but Jungle Jack breaks it up. He counters one wing and a control high stack roll up for two. Kenny comes back V trigger one Wingland Angel. And that's all pretty good. Pretty good.
He got it kind of low key compared to like the way some of these trios matches usually go. But yeah, solid.
[00:45:23] Speaker C: It is a good solid match.
[00:45:25] Speaker B: I was very happy that wrestling was happening and it was very good wrestling.
I like, I remember being like just being like yay, there's wrestling happening. It.
[00:45:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:45:39] Speaker C: I always get really tense when the, the when Jack is. I. Well, I got really tense during the session where or the portion of the fight where Jack was being sequestered and basically dogpiled on by the the gates of agony and like constantly trying to make the tag. It was a really satisfying for me when he finally made tagged Omega and make it because they just abuse him so thoroughly and I think he likes it.
I think that's any his thing.
[00:46:11] Speaker A: Jack's a great baby face apparel. Great baby face in peril. Very good at it.
[00:46:16] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:17] Speaker A: Great hot tag too.
[00:46:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:46:19] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:19] Speaker B: No, I, I. Once again, Jack Perry is a baby face is just the way to go. Like I don't, I don't love. I didn't hate black sheep as much as some folk did, but some folk on this podcast even it wasn't good. Yes.
But I absolutely agree.
[00:46:39] Speaker A: Like not the black sheep.
[00:46:40] Speaker B: Yeah. The scapegoat. Yeah. There was something.
[00:46:43] Speaker A: Oh no. She and Punk yelled at me. Everybody's mad at me. Oh, oh no.
[00:46:46] Speaker B: Real glass.
Real glass.
Then me and then just out of nowhere, Christian Cage, your father. You know, like cry me a river.
[00:47:01] Speaker A: Dead speaking.
[00:47:03] Speaker B: Yes, I. Yeah, I missed you too, Chris.
[00:47:06] Speaker A: So yeah, we get a, we get a quick little promo where Willow says that she's going to have an open challenge for the TBS championship on Collision. And I'm assuming some Canadian hometown hero will be the challenger.
We have go back to Renee who's waiting for Copeland and Christian to show up and they do.
And Cope says they're here to take out FTR and anyone who gets in the way, which prompts Christian to attempt to hit Renee with the chair because she is technically in their Way.
[00:47:37] Speaker C: And not for Nay.
[00:47:40] Speaker A: He's like, no, no. It's like. I didn't realize he had to talk down Christian. Like he's some kind of, like, rabid animal.
[00:47:47] Speaker B: It's just a rabid, like.
[00:47:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:47:52] Speaker C: Love Christian. Love Christian. Love this dynamic. Literally the best part of. One of the best parts of this show for me. I just. It's.
I love Christian.
[00:48:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:05] Speaker B: And we'll get back to it later. Are there. I think they're in our way anyway.
[00:48:09] Speaker A: It's a good bit. It's a really good.
[00:48:11] Speaker B: They're all. They're very good at bits. And. Yeah. No, I. I love that Chris is just like. I wish they would have leaned into it a little harder, especially with Renee. Like, I think it should be a reoccurring bit where he just, like. He's just such an.
They just end every interview with like. He's just an Renee. I'm sorry.
[00:48:30] Speaker A: Yeah. They. Yeah. They walk away and Copeland just like, really? Renee, Come on.
And hey. We just go commercial right back and we get, like, immediate resolution to the Copen Cage bit. It. They break into FTR's locker room with their chairs. And for some reason, Rocky Romero and Trent are just in there.
I don't know what they're doing. Jacking it, I suppose. Who can say?
I don't know. A little over Pongi Vice.
[00:48:58] Speaker B: Rappongi Vice there.
[00:49:02] Speaker C: Who's sitting there?
[00:49:03] Speaker A: Frat Poggy. I don't know.
[00:49:05] Speaker B: Oh, God.
[00:49:07] Speaker C: Jumps up and is like, you didn't knock. Which is literally the funniest thing.
[00:49:14] Speaker A: Yep. They're just like, why are you in here? And I was like, don't worry about it, bro.
Well, can we leave them? They'll. They'll take a message for ftr because FTR will be on collision kindly. And they're like, oh, yeah, we'll take a message. And Cage then says, hey, they're in our way.
[00:49:33] Speaker B: Yeah, we get these. We can beat the. Out of. It's safe.
[00:49:38] Speaker A: I'm gonna guess.
[00:49:39] Speaker C: Smart.
You need to, like, let your freak off the leash because too much is problematic. And then.
[00:49:47] Speaker B: And next thing you know is
[00:49:51] Speaker A: that's
[00:49:51] Speaker B: not good for anybody.
[00:49:54] Speaker A: Tony Schiavone suggests terrible people flock together, which possibly true, because they have no idea why they're in FTR's locker room if FTR is not there. If FTR is not there, how is it their locker room is my question.
Yeah.
[00:50:10] Speaker B: Tony Khan has strict locker room assignments. Thank you.
[00:50:15] Speaker C: Even if they're not there.
[00:50:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. No, Trent and Rocky are actually gonna get Fined for that. Yeah.
[00:50:23] Speaker A: I was like, it smells like jizz in here now, boys.
Gross. Clean it up. You're gonna pay for the cleaning bill.
[00:50:33] Speaker B: It's ftr. Before, it just smelled like jizz and tequila.
Why do people listen to us? Why? Why? This is not.
[00:50:43] Speaker A: Because we talk about Rapungi Vice jerking off at FTR's locker room. Getting fine. Because it smells like.
[00:50:50] Speaker C: Kidding. Giving the people what they want. Really?
[00:50:53] Speaker A: To give the people what they want. And what people want is Anyway, punky vice. Punk device.
I'm sure you can find it on AO3.
[00:51:03] Speaker B: More like repugnant vice.
[00:51:08] Speaker A: God.
Yeah, so, like, the. The opening bit. The opening segment had, like, a lot of talking and not a lot of wrestling, but, like, they kind of just like, pedal to the metal with the wrestling the rest of the show.
[00:51:18] Speaker B: And that's why I wasn't there, too. I wasn't, like, pissed about it. I was just like, this is weird.
[00:51:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Because we jump right back into wrestling as we get our Pac versus Will Osprey match.
Yeah.
[00:51:34] Speaker B: Jazzed about this Kill the nonce lover.
[00:51:37] Speaker A: Renee gives a little update on the storyline about, like, how, like, Will. His neck is a neck now.
[00:51:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:51:46] Speaker A: Whatever was left was also added into the. The monster.
[00:51:51] Speaker B: I'm sure, you guys. I'm getting reports that his neck is a neck.
And also this dress is amazing. Like. Yes, we know, Renee. Thank you so much. We love you.
[00:52:05] Speaker A: Renee is never badly dressed. Like, no.
[00:52:08] Speaker B: God, she's just wonderful and perfect and right and beautiful, and I love her.
[00:52:12] Speaker A: I. I don't often get jealous of other women's wardrobes, but. Holy.
[00:52:16] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. All the time.
[00:52:20] Speaker A: Holy. Whoever. Whoever picks for shows is just like.
And if it's her, well done, Renee.
[00:52:28] Speaker B: I desperately want to believe it's Mox.
[00:52:35] Speaker A: Hey. Hey. You know, maybe that little black number.
[00:52:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
It looks like a wolf.
Yeah.
[00:52:47] Speaker A: With a fur trim. You look at a wolf.
[00:52:49] Speaker B: Yeah, with the fur trim.
Like, wolves wolf. Come on, Renee. Wear the wolf dress.
Anyway,
[00:52:59] Speaker A: Pac, being the highly intelligent person that he is and realizing that this is a grudge match, does not let Will do his little.
[00:53:09] Speaker B: He runs around the.
He runs around the audience like this. So he like it. Will's like, it. Will's like, I can. I can have tassels in front of my eyes with this special one because, like, I don't have to see anything.
Nothing's coming.
[00:53:26] Speaker A: He's like, my name is Will Osprey, and I like video game and video
[00:53:32] Speaker B: game and nothing can ever get me.
[00:53:34] Speaker C: Will Osprey is An okay looking gentleman, but he always seems to appear more attractive than he actually is. Like, the camera gets close to him, you're just like, oh.
Huh.
[00:53:50] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, you do look really British. Huh?
[00:53:53] Speaker C: Yeah, really truly.
[00:53:56] Speaker A: He does.
[00:53:57] Speaker C: He looks very British.
[00:53:59] Speaker A: Yep. So Pac just murders Will on the ramp. Hits him with the brain buster.
[00:54:05] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:54:06] Speaker A: And Will sell him the neck. He's like, oh, my neck exploded.
He just won't stop saying on camera.
[00:54:15] Speaker B: Tonight is really great. Yeah.
[00:54:19] Speaker A: And the doctors are like, well, like, just like, calm down. You don't have to do this. Like, there's actually, like a really good bit where, like, the crowd is chanting for Osprey and the doctor's like, don't listen. For the love of God. You don't have to listen. I know, I know, Will, but no, stop.
[00:54:38] Speaker B: It's like, like, don't listen to them.
[00:54:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I like that. I like that. But it's also like, like, there's been so many recent episodes of people getting hurt in the ring and, yeah. The match being stopped or not being stopped. And like, man, it's hard to, like, buy that Will's neck is like, kind of just. Head is just gonna fall off his body at any minute because they would not allow this to happen if he was seriously hurt. Yeah.
[00:55:06] Speaker B: But it was. It was also. I was like, okay, like, I, like, I like that they're. I. I enjoy that they're putting some effort into it. I was like, yes, please give me some theater.
Like, like, like, yeah. And they did. But, yeah, I wouldn't say I bought it, but I don't. I don't think anyone's ever really buy. I don't think the people cheering for him were buying it or they wouldn't be cheering for him.
That's part of the fun that. Yeah, that. That's the fun that we're playing together. Like, clearly he's gonna go kick this extra. Or this very wet bastard that he's gonna beat this wet bastard's ass. Because that's the other thing I need to make sure that we talk about. No chinchilla bath.
[00:55:47] Speaker A: No, For.
[00:55:48] Speaker B: For. It's been weeks since that man has dusted.
This is possibly the wettest I've ever seen. This bastard. That is a wet. That was a wet.
[00:55:59] Speaker A: I don't think he could get his dust through customs. And the Canadian stuff.
[00:56:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what it is. Through customs in the Canadian. Dust makes him itchy and he doesn't like it. It's just different. It's just different.
Well, now I feel bad for him, like, yeah, like a poc is only that wet nowadays when they're in distress.
[00:56:22] Speaker C: Fan is like 200, like 30 pounds of muscles. 5, 8. And could bench press both of us or all of us just like ch him like a little bit of little baby chinchilla.
[00:56:36] Speaker B: But he's just pouring buckets. He's just pouring buckets.
[00:56:46] Speaker A: I like how we've switched because I'm pretty sure when he started being dry, it's like, oh, you know, when your poc is dry, he's not feeling well.
Now that he's wet, it's a bad sign for his health.
[00:56:58] Speaker B: Well, but. But if you notice, he's had. He has like this rabid behavior a little more than usual. He's very. He's very aggravated and, and that's the thing is like, it's not. He's not going to die from the wetness, but he's uncomfortable. They get uncomfortable and they get a little more aggravated. They feel that it's necessary to run through the crowd and beat the nonce lovers his ass from behind and. And that's, you know, what you get do.
[00:57:26] Speaker C: He was there to send to brutalize and destroy Will Osprey and it didn't matter if he was going to win or not. It was mattering to like loosen up the metal screws and.
[00:57:40] Speaker B: Yeah, basically. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:57:43] Speaker A: Did he.
[00:57:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:57:46] Speaker A: So, yeah, they. They were gonna sell Will's neck in this and Pac just beat the. Out of him for the.
This match. Went a while.
[00:57:57] Speaker B: Yeah, it did.
[00:57:59] Speaker A: Like, I. I don't even really have a lot of notes on it because it's just like you just beat.
[00:58:04] Speaker B: It's just a bar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just kind of a bit of a bar burner. Yeah.
It was his
[00:58:12] Speaker C: job of getting the kicked out of him.
[00:58:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I, I give him credit. Like, a lot of people don't like his selling, but I thought he did fine here.
[00:58:21] Speaker B: Yeah, I thought he did great. I, I thought it was a. A fun little match. I like that they're really building up his neck because that's awesome. That's great. That's good. Sick. That's okay. Psychology. The psychology in the match itself, whatever. But like, I know. Silent. It didn't have a tear. Didn't like it. It very much. I don't remember enough about it to make a comment.
[00:58:50] Speaker C: I didn't.
[00:58:50] Speaker B: I remember enjoying the match well enough.
[00:58:55] Speaker C: I don't. I don't like Will wrestling with a neck like he is and then them selling it because I'm.
I'M a mark and I'm afraid he's gonna hurt himself and actually break his like break himself on live TV again.
[00:59:09] Speaker B: And I mean he might like and could like.
[00:59:14] Speaker A: Yeah,
[00:59:17] Speaker C: I'm vaguely contributing to this because I am an audience again. This showman on.
[00:59:23] Speaker B: We have created a whole ass wrestling
[00:59:26] Speaker C: fan because that feelings creator.
[00:59:30] Speaker A: Why?
[00:59:31] Speaker B: That's the whole experience.
[00:59:33] Speaker A: Why did you create me to feel
[00:59:36] Speaker B: you have to have the whole. Honey, honey, you have to have the whole experience. Experience. No, you have to hate yourself for the thing you love. It's important.
Shame and pain. It's part of being a wrestling fan.
[00:59:50] Speaker C: Cheers.
[00:59:50] Speaker B: Only it can't all be the good.
[00:59:54] Speaker C: Only flat footed moonsault and a DDT onto the floor once again.
[01:00:05] Speaker A: Yeah, you know what? That ddt, he looked nasty.
[01:00:09] Speaker C: Yeah, it did. Yeah.
[01:00:12] Speaker A: Like gets like Osprey gets a few hope spots. Like he even, he even assassins up at one point. And what I appreciated about it was that like every time he does it, Pac just immediately just like, no, knock it the off.
[01:00:29] Speaker C: Nice try.
[01:00:31] Speaker A: And like every time it looks like he's making a comeback, he gets stopped in his track. So like he's like after he, he, he ospreys up, he's trading elbows with Pac and then P is just like actually, no. And German suplexes him onto his neck.
[01:00:48] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:00:50] Speaker A: Oh, I had, I had somebody actually ask on Blue Sky. I had somebody ask on Blue Sky. So if Kenny's got guts, does that mean Will has a neck as like. Yes, actually.
[01:01:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:01:01] Speaker A: It's not the first time that it's come up.
[01:01:04] Speaker B: No, that is canon.
[01:01:06] Speaker A: Mark Davis had the finger for a couple weeks.
If, if you sell an injury for more than an episode, it is a, it's a.
[01:01:17] Speaker B: Now don't be mad at us. Be mad at patriarchy as you should.
[01:01:24] Speaker C: The Will does a lot of like, Will does a lot of getting out of these, these holds and these submissions by hooking his foot onto the rope. Like very desperate acts from this high flyer.
And they have a belly to belly suplex that was just divine.
[01:01:45] Speaker A: They can milk this as all as much as they want. But like obviously Will is fine. Like good job coming back from that neck injury, buddy.
[01:01:52] Speaker B: It was a little fast, but all right.
[01:01:55] Speaker A: I mean like clearly he's finer. They would not let him be taking these bumps.
[01:01:59] Speaker B: I know, I know. But just. God, Jesus, God, Jesus.
[01:02:02] Speaker C: What if they are though?
[01:02:04] Speaker B: But yeah, what if they. Yeah, here's the thing. What if they just are like, what if what, what if that, what if the fed stink? That, that I'VE been noticing the last month is. Is not in my head. And what if. What if Tony Khan got, like, hit in the head or something? And it's like, you know what? Vince was right.
They're cattle.
[01:02:25] Speaker A: What if this died and he possessed Tony Khan?
[01:02:28] Speaker B: We don't know yet.
[01:02:33] Speaker A: Be terrible.
[01:02:33] Speaker B: It's. Danhausen did a curse and didn't realize what he was doing. And he went over there, and he's like, I curse. And next thing you know, that's real bad.
He would
[01:02:52] Speaker C: speak.
Speaking of next. I mean, there's a tombstone.
[01:02:57] Speaker A: Oh, God. Yeah, the tombstone.
Oh, no, no, that's good, because, like, yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna get back. We're almost there. Yeah. Like, Pac has some use for the crowd, and so, yeah, this is the swear jar.
Quietly.
[01:03:14] Speaker C: He's super windy.
You British.
[01:03:19] Speaker B: Very quiet British.
[01:03:23] Speaker A: Yep. They. They do this. They do, like, a poison run, a flip out, and then he kicks out of a hurricane Rana. And then Pac just lays into him with that big lariat.
Then I do the tombstone pile driver. Then Pac actually hits the black arrow and gets the brutalizer.
[01:03:41] Speaker B: I didn't like this. This. I didn't like this upset me because, like, the black arrow into the brutalizer should be a death sentence. In my mind.
[01:03:50] Speaker A: It should be the death sentence. I will explain why I liked it or what worked about it.
[01:03:56] Speaker B: Please, please do.
[01:03:58] Speaker A: So Pac has it locked in.
Osprey can't get out of it. Osprey tries standing up with it. Can't do it. He reaches for the ropes, and Pac has to pull him back.
And in the process of pulling him back, he. Osprey uses enough of the momentum to flip it over into a pin. That's how he gets it. It's not like a fluke win. It's like he actually outsmarted Pac a little bit there. He took advantage of an opening.
[01:04:27] Speaker B: Yes. I think that the problem I had is that it was a little too long. I think they milked it a little too long.
[01:04:33] Speaker A: I agree with that. Yes. I think they. Thank you.
[01:04:36] Speaker B: We can be in the middle.
[01:04:37] Speaker A: That one. That one I can agree with.
It did. Because, like, it did seem like it got a little bit silly for, like, how badly his neck is supposed to be hurt to just, like, be in the brutal. Like, he was in the brutalizer multiple times and is still somehow not dead.
Anyway.
[01:04:57] Speaker B: Hey, take a pounding. You know, they can. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[01:05:04] Speaker C: Power of the.
[01:05:07] Speaker A: The power to.
Oh, man. Did you ever watch those videos about, like, the vagina power?
[01:05:12] Speaker C: No, I hadn't. I have seen about.
[01:05:15] Speaker A: It was like, some YouTube video series with this, like, this woman who's talking about, like, the power of the. And that you should harness your vagina power to defeat the patriarchy. Yeah. Yeah, you should. You should do that.
[01:05:29] Speaker C: Damn.
[01:05:31] Speaker A: She's probably super problematic because a lot of those.
A lot of those rad fems can be.
[01:05:39] Speaker C: Boy, sure betcha.
[01:05:41] Speaker A: Sure.
Pac jumps on Will right away after he loses. But Will hits a hidden blade, which brings Wheeler, Yuta, and Daniel Garcia, who just jump him and just maul him like Chihuahuas with a rat.
It's just, like, really uncomfortable to watch. It's like, oh, man, those little dogs are so cute, but they're doing horrible things.
[01:06:10] Speaker C: But he's tearing his face off.
[01:06:11] Speaker A: He's tearing his face off.
As Claudio comes out, and they have a chair, and they put the chair on Will's neck, and this is how they almost killed them last time.
And Claudia is going to run and do the, like. Gonna pillow on is his neck. Mox holds him up, and they're just like, this is awesome. This made the whole segment worth it. So Mox gets on the mic. He's like, all right. He pats Will on the head. He's like, hey, you're okay. You're okay.
Hey, there's six of us. How did you think this was gonna go?
Yeah, this could have gone really, really badly for you.
Piece of advice.
Next time, use your head or you might lose it.
Because this isn't personal for me, Will.
Don't make it personal.
I.
Terrifying promo. Disappointed, dad. Moxley,
[01:07:12] Speaker C: Did I put you here or did you put yourself here?
[01:07:15] Speaker B: That was such a great line. I'm sorry.
[01:07:19] Speaker A: The whole thing.
So great. Like, just, like, the way he just starts, like, yeah, you're okay. He, like, stops. Claudio, you're okay. You're okay.
[01:07:27] Speaker B: Yeah, no, it's.
[01:07:29] Speaker A: It.
[01:07:30] Speaker B: He's the ace, man. He's so goddamned good at this. It's just gross.
[01:07:35] Speaker A: I do.
[01:07:36] Speaker C: I do feel like he. At the end, he gave off, and I. I kind of wrote this in my notes.
Takeshita influence. Because he. It looks like he does consider stomping on the chair, but he doesn't.
So I don't know if I'm reading. I could very well be reading too much into that. But, like, I. I think that, like, I think he's.
[01:08:01] Speaker A: The way it comes off is, like, he gets it. He's like, yeah, well, you should be pissed. I tried to break your neck. And then this right here is like he's just being like, if you want to actually beat me, stop being a reckless idiot because this could have gone really bad. Like he's lying there with a chair around his neck. This could have gone worse for you, man.
[01:08:23] Speaker C: Yeah.
They did it one time. Why is it? What's stopping them from them doing it again?
[01:08:29] Speaker B: Tweener status
[01:08:34] Speaker A: charge the mox from six.
That's.
[01:08:38] Speaker B: Yeah. No mock six months ago we'd done it twice.
Yeah.
[01:08:42] Speaker C: Also I also said this is some stolen cold Steve Austin because this is what he did to Brian pillman's ankle like 16 times.
[01:08:52] Speaker A: That's where the Pillmanized comes from.
[01:08:54] Speaker B: That. That's where the term comes from. You pillmanize someone. That's. That's the term for doing that to someone's body part. Because of that.
[01:09:02] Speaker C: Right? Of course, yes.
[01:09:05] Speaker B: Because that's how wrestling works. You know this. Oh, you're a whole ass wrestling friend.
[01:09:09] Speaker C: Sorry, I keep forgetting.
[01:09:11] Speaker B: Yeah. We made you. We made you as such.
[01:09:14] Speaker C: I keep trying to forget.
[01:09:16] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never will. Never let you.
[01:09:19] Speaker C: Never let me go.
[01:09:21] Speaker B: But yeah. No Pillman Hyzer.
That's so funny.
[01:09:28] Speaker A: I think. I think the goofiness, the perhaps overselling of the match and Will's weird improbable comeback was worth it all for that promo.
[01:09:39] Speaker B: Yeah. No, exactly like John Moxley. Yeah, that was.
Thank you. Ace of aew.
[01:09:47] Speaker C: Save the day once again.
[01:09:49] Speaker A: Fortunately for some people, we are.
We are the mock stands.
[01:09:54] Speaker B: Okay, I need my hat after the.
[01:09:58] Speaker A: We just leapt right into the next match after commercial break as we get.
[01:10:02] Speaker B: Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
[01:10:06] Speaker A: Brawling birds and Mina Shirakawa versus the Triangle of Madness.
[01:10:10] Speaker B: I was so excited for this.
Do you have any idea how many jobbers we had to eat before they let us Slapped on you like.
[01:10:23] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[01:10:26] Speaker B: There's been a lot of jobbers for these birds.
[01:10:28] Speaker A: I hate to say but like they really might have. Like they probably. Toni Storm getting hurt might have been with like the Catalyst or Toni Storm being out. No, Tony Storm being dead. Excuse me.
[01:10:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Pardon me. Let's get the KFAB right. She's dead.
They killed her. Who killed Toni Storm is what's going on.
[01:10:48] Speaker A: Excalibur actually says we don't feel like she's not dead.
She's gone.
[01:11:00] Speaker C: She's so dead.
[01:11:01] Speaker A: She was dead. We all saw the body.
We did.
[01:11:04] Speaker C: Yeah. I saw the picture.
[01:11:05] Speaker A: They posted it on tv. She's dead. She's gone.
[01:11:09] Speaker C: They wouldn't. TV wouldn't lie to Us.
[01:11:12] Speaker A: Not wrestling, especially.
[01:11:13] Speaker B: Yeah, not wrestling.
[01:11:14] Speaker C: Not wrestling.
Purest sport in the country.
[01:11:22] Speaker A: The. The world.
The world.
I think. I didn't. A stat. I did not realize that they let me know at the start of this was that I didn't realize that Triangle at Madness had never lost the Trios match.
Yeah, I didn't. I really didn't realize that.
[01:11:38] Speaker C: I mean, what is there. What is there any other female teams?
[01:11:44] Speaker A: Not, like, regular.
I don't think Mina doing her angry dancing was pretty fun.
[01:11:52] Speaker C: And then I love the vibe shift from the. The Triangle of Madness to Dancing Marine
[01:12:01] Speaker A: Marina, she's so pissed. So pissed when she's doing it now. So the last time she wrestled, she didn't even do it. She just went out and.
[01:12:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:12:09] Speaker A: Tried to kill Marina. And now she's.
[01:12:12] Speaker B: But she's like, you're not taking this for me.
You already took my wife from me. Yeah, yeah, I'm dancing, I'm dancing.
[01:12:22] Speaker A: I gotta dance.
And also shout out matching. Matching gear with the broling birds. Good stuff.
[01:12:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
Yep.
[01:12:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Mina goes right at Tecla because last time they wrestled for the title, Tecla punched her with her boob knuckles.
Yep, he'll.
And tackle. Tackle does, like, such a good job.
I swear to God, it's the. Funniest.
She, like, does the fake dance and just like. Yeah,
[01:12:56] Speaker C: she's such a good.
[01:12:57] Speaker A: Oh. And yeah, she, like, screams at the crowd to kiss my toxic ass, baby.
[01:13:04] Speaker B: Oh, God, I almost died.
Oh, my God, she tried to kill me like, twice.
And then she does, like, like the little shimmy into the camera. I'm just like, stop it.
Stop.
[01:13:15] Speaker C: Yeah, she's so good.
[01:13:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Faces run a little bit of some offense on Sky Blue when she gets tagged in. And Nigel refers to them as the Brawling Lovebirds, which, like.
[01:13:28] Speaker B: Okay, okay, I'm into that. I'm really into that. Yeah, let's go.
[01:13:33] Speaker A: Not bad.
[01:13:34] Speaker B: You're still on my. You're still on my list, Nigel.
[01:13:36] Speaker A: But okay, he's still got a strike.
Let's see. Yeah. Tecla hits like they tech. The. The triangle gets control when Tekla hits this, like, really nasty double stomp on Mina's back.
Because Mina's not like, bent over or on the floor. Like, she just. She's just like, bent over standing. And tech would just bang on her spine.
That looked like it sucked.
[01:14:04] Speaker C: I think she did that in their previous match too.
[01:14:07] Speaker A: I think so. Yeah. This will look like.
[01:14:11] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[01:14:12] Speaker A: Oh, stink on it.
Some stank God crowd is kind of dead for this crowd. Like Actually, yeah, the crowd's been kind of quiet all night. And I don't know if it is a Canadian. Canada thing or what, but it was noticeable at points like they were not
[01:14:30] Speaker C: that Jericho sucked all the energy out of the crowd like a vampire.
[01:14:34] Speaker A: That's what he does.
He got all the heat and now only.
[01:14:40] Speaker C: None of it else to get on.
[01:14:42] Speaker A: Only Canadians can get. Cheers now.
Hot tag to Windsor.
And she just like, who was great.
I loved her. She was really good in this. She just like boost the. Out of Julia for a little bit.
Tackle gets. Get control. And it gets kind of like. It feels really disjointed at times. Like it feels like they're just not.
Things aren't clicking the way they should.
But like, they come back, they do the. The six person suplex spot again. That gets a big pop because everybody loves. Yeah, I love this spot.
[01:15:19] Speaker C: They've run it back.
[01:15:20] Speaker A: Yeah, they run it back with the ladies callback.
[01:15:23] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:15:23] Speaker A: Windsor and Techler just like throwing bombs. And then Munich tags in and just starts slobber knocking everybody.
Tony Storm's dead.
The reason why you can't. The reason why you know she's dead is Nigel said she's not. And Nigel's the heel commentator. And heel commentators always lie.
[01:15:45] Speaker B: Yeah, she's dead.
[01:15:47] Speaker A: She's dead. Yeah.
[01:15:48] Speaker C: Truly.
[01:15:50] Speaker A: They do a big spot where like, everybody hits a big move on each other in the middle of the ring, which, like, again felt a little disjointed, but was funny because Jamie Hayter came in after Windsor got knocked out. It's like, that's my mate, Julia.
[01:16:10] Speaker B: So good.
[01:16:12] Speaker A: They go for two Birds, one stone on Julia. The Tekla blocks it and tries to clock Hater with the boob nooks.
[01:16:21] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:16:22] Speaker A: Hater brings it in and she gets hit with two burns one stone instead. And then hits.
[01:16:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:16:27] Speaker A: Julia with the haterade. And that's all.
[01:16:30] Speaker B: Yeah, no, it was a good, good solid ending. I love that they do that. They're doing the Heart Attack and. And I love the Two Birds One Stone as a name. Like, that's.
That's good. The Heart Attack. Like. Oh, God, I'm just gonna get sentimental about the heart foundation for a second. Don't mind me.
I love them. It's not just the picture black aesthetic. I really do. I just love the hearts.
Not Teddy, not you.
Sit down. Ted
[01:17:06] Speaker C: Windsor got in a crowd. Great headbutt that I. And then the slowest rolling elbows between. Was it Mina and I think it was Tekla. In the history of the.
[01:17:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:17:17] Speaker C: Sports, entertainment, Where I was just like,
[01:17:19] Speaker A: okay, that was where I was. Like I started realizing, like, this is kind of uneven because like they definitely started their rolling elbows, but they. They realized like, oh, our distancing is wrong or something. So they just kind of like.
[01:17:38] Speaker C: I think Jamie was also injured because she was. I mean, they saved her to the last, but she was not in the ring much at all. And then on the back of her neck and shoulders was the Kinesio tape.
[01:17:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I forget.
[01:17:53] Speaker C: It's been there for a while.
[01:17:54] Speaker A: I forget where her injury was back when she was. She was out for a long time.
I forget if it was her back or her neck or something. But someday.
[01:18:03] Speaker B: Someday I'm gonna. I'm gonna reach out to.
Someday we're gonna get guests back on the show in general, I think would be fun. But first, that's neither here nor there.
Someday I'm gonna do a special report. I'm gonna find like a scientist who knows their.
And ask them what Kinesio.
[01:18:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:18:28] Speaker A: So like, what can you tell me about Kinesio tape? Well, it's. Thanks, doc.
[01:18:35] Speaker B: So, yeah, well, basically, I don't know what to tell you. A lot of dumb wrestlers are dumb as.
[01:18:42] Speaker C: Sorry, man. Yeah, that's kind of.
[01:18:43] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:18:44] Speaker B: That's what it is. Okay.
[01:18:45] Speaker C: That's how it is.
[01:18:46] Speaker A: I.
[01:18:46] Speaker B: But that's how you can tell. That's how you can tell if someone's actually babying something. I think is if they caught Kinesio tape on. It's like if they actually think it does something. I think so, like.
[01:18:56] Speaker A: Okay, because like.
[01:18:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it could depend on the type of injury.
[01:19:01] Speaker A: But like. Well, no, like, cuz. Cuz it's also very much become like the modern day, like bandaging.
So like on their arm, the opponent is gonna go after their arm.
[01:19:17] Speaker C: Hawk had it on his bicep actually, or in like this part of his arm as well.
[01:19:24] Speaker A: That makes sense because I'm pretty sure.
[01:19:26] Speaker B: So it's hard to tell.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Claudia thinks it's real, which makes me think it's real because Claudio is a superhuman.
[01:19:34] Speaker A: As far as I know, Claudia was the one who like started introducing it like at least.
[01:19:39] Speaker B: Oh no, he was patient zero in the majors. Oh no.
[01:19:45] Speaker A: Dumb as.
I like him also.
[01:19:51] Speaker B: Just so strong and pretty and I like it.
[01:19:55] Speaker A: And he likes whatever.
[01:19:57] Speaker B: Yeah. And he could probably lift me up and twirl me around like a pretty girl and. And I just think that would be fun.
[01:20:03] Speaker A: That'd be nice. I'm gonna shout out.
It's been a While since we've talked about signs on this show. But I'm gonna shout out the greatest sign of all time that I saw at the end of this match.
It said I am tired of jokes about my wordy eligible signs. The first such incident occurred in 1993 at AJW Dream Slam. And then I couldn't actually read the rest because it was the Simpsons bit.
[01:20:27] Speaker B: That's amazing because they had a whole thing written out.
[01:20:33] Speaker A: Like this whole big poster board sign.
[01:20:36] Speaker B: But it's Batman tried to get on Box Mania.
[01:20:38] Speaker A: Yeah, the best.
[01:20:42] Speaker B: That's a. But also like no, that's amazing. Like that's a Botamania fishing bait if I've like ever seen it. Like I'm gonna do an amazing Simpsons bit on a sign and Matthew will have to Sensei will have to notice me.
Her senpai will have to notice me.
[01:21:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I hope so because God, that was so funny. And it's better than all the half ass JRPG ones that you see these days.
[01:21:08] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, exactly. If you're gonna try again on Pachy Mania, make some effort. I want a Simpsons deep cut, all right? Not remake some. Some, Some game.
[01:21:18] Speaker A: Nobody gives a about Kingdom Hearts anymore. It sucked.
[01:21:22] Speaker B: No, we're past it. You know what's eternal niche Simpsons Bits, okay?
That shit's never going away.
[01:21:30] Speaker A: Slang is like this, the tight.
[01:21:34] Speaker B: Oh, come on now. Let's go.
[01:21:36] Speaker A: Let's go.
All right, so we get a little video recap because Juice Robinson has been feuding with Thompson Chompington Jr. And they're wrestling on Collision.
[01:21:48] Speaker B: You use his Christian name, Tommy Chompers?
[01:21:51] Speaker A: I did. Thompson Chompington Jr. That's his Christian name. And like, let me just say his
[01:21:57] Speaker B: shadow knows his story, okay?
[01:21:59] Speaker A: Say I think that he's a wonderful wrestler who has elevated his game in incomprehensible way since coming to aew. That's my April Fool.
[01:22:08] Speaker B: You're damn right.
God damn it.
[01:22:10] Speaker C: Damn it.
[01:22:13] Speaker A: Oh, no, no, I will. I will say.
I will say that I actually am looking forward to his match with Juice Robinson because like.
[01:22:21] Speaker B: Oh yeah, that's.
[01:22:22] Speaker A: That's an interesting matchup to me.
[01:22:25] Speaker B: All right, let's go, let's go.
[01:22:27] Speaker A: So we'll see how that goes. Because that should be have happened already.
[01:22:32] Speaker B: Win you over to my side.
[01:22:34] Speaker A: Guess what? I don't.
No,
[01:22:39] Speaker C: never.
[01:22:40] Speaker A: Darby Music. Darby Alice. Darby Allen's music hits so he can come out and tell him to cut the music.
[01:22:51] Speaker C: You could have just walked out, right?
[01:22:54] Speaker A: Just tell, just tell him not to play your music, dog.
So he's he's here to remind MJF he's holding the throttle until he sees God or the title and wants to know why they're playing games with the Don Callis family. Because he wants to just wrestle the devil, and he doesn't care.
He wants the title, but he also doesn't care if Caddy Omega wins the title, which I feel was like, a little bit of a confusing flub.
[01:23:22] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:23:23] Speaker A: How can you want to beat Max for the title but then not care if he loses to Kenny?
[01:23:29] Speaker C: He just wants the title no matter who has it. I guess is the takeaway I had.
[01:23:33] Speaker A: But, like, yeah, he just says he doesn't want Max to be champion anymore.
[01:23:38] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:23:39] Speaker A: Which, like, man, I have. So, like, do you want to be the champion or not? I don't want to be the champion, but, like, you should act like, clicking.
[01:23:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:23:47] Speaker A: So Don Callis comes out and says that MJF paid them a lot of money to take care of Darby, and if he can beat Don's handpick man at Dynasty, then he can. He gets a shot at NJF's title. And so Darby's gonna wrestle Andrade at the pay per view.
[01:24:06] Speaker C: So that's like, what?
[01:24:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Andrade is.
Why are we doing this?
[01:24:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm sorry.
[01:24:13] Speaker B: Me and Andrade feel the same way.
[01:24:16] Speaker C: Why?
[01:24:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:24:20] Speaker B: Paid Don Callis some money, and you are my property.
[01:24:23] Speaker A: Yep.
[01:24:24] Speaker B: Basically, it was the answer.
[01:24:26] Speaker A: You know, there's a big problem when parents treat their kids like property. I don't like that type of. Yeah. Toxic family.
[01:24:34] Speaker B: Toxic family dynamic.
[01:24:37] Speaker C: Truly.
[01:24:38] Speaker B: I, I, I, I want. I want better things for the. The hottest man I've ever seen in my entire life.
[01:24:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:24:52] Speaker B: Jesus Christ. No. The man's a walking dick pic. No, no,
[01:24:58] Speaker A: I still remember when he held up the camera. The, The. Yeah, he's like, oh, God. Oh, it's not a dick pic. It's gone. Hi, Don.
[01:25:08] Speaker C: Would have been. It would have been so funny if the crew had somehow pixelated, like, saw
[01:25:14] Speaker A: the image pop up, immediately pixelated it,
[01:25:17] Speaker C: and then when Don started talking, took away.
[01:25:24] Speaker B: Please. I know we joke about it. Please, someone be listening. The numbers have been going up. I hope one of you. Yeah, it's gotta be. Please.
Jesus Christ. That's such a good bit. The man looks like a penis.
Yeah. If you're gonna have a pop up on a phone. You got it. It's too good of a bit to leave on the table. Okay. Come on.
[01:25:47] Speaker A: Just once I want them to do, like, the Japanese porn censorship, where, like, they just have, like, A thin.
They don't cover the rest of it, but it's just like, here's a black line through the top of his face.
[01:26:09] Speaker C: There's some sort of censorship.
[01:26:12] Speaker A: Is the.
[01:26:13] Speaker C: Is that.
[01:26:13] Speaker B: Is the real. We should have to see it. Yeah.
[01:26:16] Speaker A: Or no, no, they should. They should do the. They should treat him like a yaoi comic so he's like the invisibianist.
It just like. It just like, blanked out Don Callis.
Anyway.
[01:26:30] Speaker B: God damn it. Anyways. Yeah, please. Back to wrestling or I might actually die.
[01:26:35] Speaker A: So the walking sends his family.
So he sends Lance, Archer and Hechy Sarah and there's somebody else there. He's like, go get Darby and Lance.
[01:26:53] Speaker B: Go get him.
[01:26:54] Speaker A: Darby swings for the fences with his skateboard and clock slams Archer hardest. Yeah.
[01:27:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:27:03] Speaker A: And Archer would just like,
[01:27:09] Speaker B: Dad, dad, dad,
[01:27:12] Speaker C: Darby. Ellen hit me.
[01:27:18] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[01:27:21] Speaker A: Come out to even the odds. And dog house family runs away.
And Kenny comes out after everything is done because he's going to be on commentary. But like, he says some to Darby and that's it.
[01:27:35] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:27:36] Speaker A: Is Ben. It was bad.
[01:27:40] Speaker C: What?
[01:27:41] Speaker A: It was meh. I don't. I don't have any.
I don't have thoughts on that segment.
[01:27:46] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't understand why MJF is buying off Darby. Allen's beat down. I don't understand what a W. Ellie is doing. But.
[01:27:57] Speaker A: Okay. I. I don't get it. Yeah. Because, like, either you want the title or you want Max. Like, pick one.
[01:28:04] Speaker C: Yeah, pick one, bro.
[01:28:07] Speaker A: It feels kind of weird and I. I don't know if it's. Maybe he just flubbed his line or something, but, like, I don't know.
I don't know. And like, yeah, I'm gonna be harsh to Darby regardless because I think he's like, if you remove all of his, like, out of the ring problems that people have with him, I think that he has, like, actual issue, like, he's got to fix if he wants to be like, top of the card.
[01:28:33] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:28:34] Speaker A: He's got credibility issues. And with me. And I'm probably not the only one.
[01:28:41] Speaker C: No, for sure. Oh, I. I completely agree. Like, what's.
Yeah, what's the difference between him and Max? Like, he's just like, he's a destructive weirdo. Semi derogatory. And Max is also a destructive weirdo, but, like, self centered. Like, what are you bringing to the title that says you can hold it, but Max can't?
[01:29:03] Speaker A: Like, that's like, that's always been the. That's not always the problem with Darby, but, like, his character thing is that, like, he can't win without the garbage, like, without the hardcore stuff. And like, that's fine for a champion. Like, Mick Foley was a great wrestler and got hella over doing the hardcore stuff.
[01:29:30] Speaker C: Stuff.
[01:29:30] Speaker A: And, but like, he. And like, I, I don't know if Mick Foley was ever like, really considered a legit, slash credible champion, but he was popular, people liked him.
But like, he could also wrestle. He could wrestle, he could do in the ring. Darby can do in the ring. But his strongest suit is getting the kicked out of him.
[01:29:51] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:29:52] Speaker A: And you can't, especially in a company like awesome. You can't have your champion just.
I guess you could, but you shouldn't just have your champion just get the kicked out of them for 60% of a match.
[01:30:05] Speaker B: You can, you can do that if it's a Mikey Whipwreck situation, you know what I mean? Where it's like, the gimmick is like, why. Why is this little kid trying to wrestle us?
And then he like gets the beat out of him for most of the match and then does something really cool and like sneaks out a win.
[01:30:25] Speaker A: Right?
[01:30:26] Speaker B: Or like OC before he started really cooking, you know, where it's like he sneaks out a little quick little seat
[01:30:32] Speaker A: belt and like, I don't, like, I, I don't. I just like taking all the other stuff aside, like, I, I have trouble buying Darby's like, world champion. Like, that's.
[01:30:42] Speaker C: Yeah, it's.
[01:30:43] Speaker A: It's been the thing. It's like he's, he's.
It's. It's just my thing. It's just my thing. Like. And it goes.
You gotta have credibility problems with that guy. With me.
Anyway, two good wrestlers. We get to our main event. Speaking of AEW Men's World Title Eliminator match, MJF vs Speedball Mike Bailey.
And they are really, really, really milking the like, American hero.
[01:31:13] Speaker B: Oh, sure are.
[01:31:14] Speaker A: Sure are you. Max unveils his flag
[01:31:20] Speaker C: with his faces. Oh, my God, is the stars.
[01:31:25] Speaker A: That's incredible.
[01:31:26] Speaker B: Yeah, no, you know, he's like, you gotta hold on to that, right?
[01:31:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[01:31:30] Speaker B: Like, yeah, we're gonna use that again.
I swear to God he's gonna find a way.
[01:31:35] Speaker C: A thousand dollars to make. Of course we're going to use it again.
[01:31:41] Speaker B: Many, probably many thousands of dollars.
[01:31:43] Speaker C: True. Yeah. I'm vastly underestimating that.
[01:31:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:31:49] Speaker A: Yeah. So like, Max. Max has like red, white and blue trunks and speedballs, got ads full on Team Canada gear and the Canadian flag.
[01:32:03] Speaker B: I was, I was so ready for this. Match. From the moment they. They announced it, I was just like, yeah, like, yeah.
Like I don't even care. Speedball loses. Just like this is gonna.
[01:32:16] Speaker A: It was.
It was really, really, really good. I. It had some good psychology to it, I thought.
[01:32:23] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely.
[01:32:24] Speaker A: Storytelling as the kids.
Storytelling.
[01:32:30] Speaker B: Tommy Dreamer over here.
[01:32:32] Speaker A: Tommy Dreamer.
Speedball. Just get the big implants.
[01:32:38] Speaker B: Oh, God. Jesus. Hampter. I know that you have found yourself perusing the dirt sheets that I left for to be used as liner in your.
Your.
Your containment.
However, best time to read true. Please don't ever listen to busted open.
Just don't do it like you don't need it and it's gonna warp you in a way. It's bad. I'm. This is as a loving parent telling you like, you don't need to know what Tommy Dreamer and Uncle Boy have to say.
[01:33:11] Speaker A: Well, this isn't even on bus. This was pre buzz podcast because Tommy Dreamer apparently told. Well, no, he didn't. Apparently it was on camera. Yeah, I forget it was for tough enough or something else, but he was. Yeah, yeah. To some. Some women who were like doing tryouts for wwe and he told one of them, like, hey, think about going to get some implants and coming back because that's what they're looking for.
[01:33:39] Speaker B: Yep.
[01:33:41] Speaker A: And it's just like, wow, you probably shouldn't have said that on camera because you got nobody like that.
[01:33:47] Speaker B: No one like that. Thomas.
[01:33:49] Speaker A: Everybody knew it was true, but it was just like, there's. There's proof. There's your proof right there.
[01:33:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:33:56] Speaker A: God.
[01:33:59] Speaker B: Some of also some of the. That that Vince Russo said on camera during behind the mat, I was just like, oh, oh. So it like, like there.
Oh. Like it wasn't. It wasn't like like on the sly.
It was like, get out there and sell horrifyingly debasing women to children.
Like that. This is the goal.
[01:34:27] Speaker C: Fantastic.
[01:34:28] Speaker B: Also in tits and ass and tits and ass and tits and ass and hot lesbian action. And
[01:34:36] Speaker A: we have come so far. We have come so far and it's still not great.
[01:34:45] Speaker B: No, it's still. We got so I'm so tired.
[01:34:48] Speaker C: We have to show for it.
[01:34:49] Speaker A: Well, though, that's. That is the problem is like now it's. Now it's like we've reached the point where it's not that. So it was just like, well, at least it's not that. It's like, I want more.
[01:34:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:34:58] Speaker A: Why do I need to stop here?
[01:35:00] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah. Don't stop the pressure because Jesus.
[01:35:04] Speaker C: Progress continues. You Know they continue to move forward.
[01:35:09] Speaker B: Darby Allen still has a job, so
[01:35:12] Speaker A: that's why it's called progress.
[01:35:14] Speaker B: Progress. Yes.
Anyways,
[01:35:21] Speaker A: so this was. This was kind of the. The. The story of the match was Max doing his sneaky.
[01:35:29] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:35:29] Speaker A: And naturally, basically cutting off, like, any momentum Speedball was trying to build up, because what. Speedball's biggest game, his speed. He's speedy.
And Max just.
[01:35:43] Speaker B: Was that why they call him.
[01:35:45] Speaker A: Huh?
[01:35:46] Speaker B: That's why they call him that News.
[01:35:48] Speaker C: Because his dad was named Speed.
[01:35:50] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[01:35:53] Speaker A: Speed. And her mom was ball. Speedball.
[01:35:56] Speaker B: Oh, that makes sense. Okay. I thought he just did uppers.
Okay.
[01:36:01] Speaker A: I mean, that was really good.
But, yeah, like, that's like, it's. It's a pretty effective story because, like, if you're gonna get technical with it, as far as the card goes, Max is up here.
[01:36:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:36:17] Speaker A: Speedballs, more like the mid card and up there.
[01:36:23] Speaker B: Yeah, they're on the rise, as they.
[01:36:25] Speaker A: On the rise for sure. Yes. But, yeah, they just can't quite get the.
Get anything really going early on against Max.
[01:36:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:36:40] Speaker A: Commentary just will never let Speedball live down the fact that they wrestle barefoot. Oh, God.
[01:36:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:36:47] Speaker B: And hey, I.
I used to be with them because, like, I just had never seen anyone that didn't piss me off until Speedball, like, speedball changed. That for me.
[01:37:00] Speaker C: Changed.
Kenny was like, yeah, I used to wrestle barefoot until I stubbed my toe doing a moonsault.
And I. It was like, never again.
I do love it when wrestlers are on commentary and they share.
[01:37:16] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:37:16] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's right. Kenny's on commentary.
[01:37:19] Speaker B: Yeah, Kenny's on commentary.
[01:37:21] Speaker C: Kenny's bare chested and in his shorts. He's done wrestling. He's just, like, watching it. It's great. It's very Canadian.
[01:37:28] Speaker B: And he's like, you know, some people, they might have gotten themselves in a full outfit, maybe something very professional to come out here and do commentary. I picked up some. Some gym shorts that were crumpled up in the locker room. I'm not sure if these are mine.
They were crumpled up in the locker room. I. I thought I threw them on, and now I'm here.
I'm a God of pro wrestling, the people say, not me.
[01:37:55] Speaker A: Some people say I'm just right in here. Free balling on commentary.
[01:38:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Going commando.
[01:38:02] Speaker A: Next, Attorney Schiavone with my balls touching the chair.
[01:38:08] Speaker B: Oh, God.
I'm very. I would like to personally apologize to all of our listeners for that callback. I'm sorry. You don't have to hit every ball you see coming at you.
And that, you know.
[01:38:21] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:38:23] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Oh.
Anyway,
[01:38:28] Speaker A: speedball is, like, not doing great.
Eats that really sick.
Power bomb over the knee back breaker. Yeah, Power bomb back.
[01:38:39] Speaker C: So, yeah, that's nasty looking.
[01:38:42] Speaker B: That looked like he landed rough. That they landed right on their neck.
[01:38:46] Speaker C: So. And then mjf, because this of course blows a snot rocket, except it lands on his upper lip.
And I want.
[01:38:58] Speaker B: I am trying.
The listeners don't know this because I'm being very judicial with my mute function.
I am trying to eat dinner on the pod right now.
So I'm gonna need you in MJF to off.
[01:39:16] Speaker A: No, that's the stat rocket. And it land on his chin or his nose.
[01:39:23] Speaker C: Oh.
Oh, God.
[01:39:25] Speaker A: It'd be funny if he ate it.
[01:39:27] Speaker C: Oh, don't tell. I want to tell you about what Salvatore Sincere did in 1996 to the Undertaker, but I can't because it's gross.
[01:39:45] Speaker A: Salvatore Sincere?
What did he do
[01:39:51] Speaker B: from the 90s? Let's go.
[01:39:52] Speaker C: Yeah. This was probably October.
He's got his fingers in Undertaker's nose, pulling his head.
I already take the fingers out and sticks them out, clean them off.
And I swear to God, some nights my eyes open.
And I remember that one time with her.
[01:40:24] Speaker B: Sincere, I didn't know you were a freak like that.
[01:40:30] Speaker A: Two episodes in a row. I have a coughing fit leg.
[01:40:36] Speaker B: But like. Oh, God. Oh, that's terrible.
You sick.
[01:40:41] Speaker C: Has wrestler wrestling improved? Who's to say, really?
[01:40:45] Speaker A: Who's to say?
[01:40:46] Speaker B: No.
[01:40:48] Speaker A: Who's to say?
Who's to say?
Oh, man. Why do we, like.
[01:40:56] Speaker B: Can we.
[01:40:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:40:57] Speaker B: Can we finish up this episode? I'm nauseous.
[01:41:02] Speaker A: All right, so speedball gets, like, a bunch of roll ups and they get that. That straight jacket sunset flip. That's really cool.
[01:41:09] Speaker B: Fruit roll ups. Okay, sir.
[01:41:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I love that. Hella Spanish fly wakes up, gets blocked.
Yep.
Max drop kicks them off the apron. And Speedy bounces their head off to Abram, which look sick.
[01:41:25] Speaker B: Oh, that was.
Yeah, gross.
[01:41:28] Speaker A: Max takes a minute to flip off Kenny.
He. They do the sequence again with the heat seeker. Gets blocked. And then Max misses the drop kick this time and does, like, the baseball slide and does the big oh as speedball. It's the springboard moonsault.
Nice.
[01:41:47] Speaker B: I love it. I love it. So does he overdo it sometimes? Yes, but I still love it Every. Every time he does it.
[01:41:53] Speaker A: Y.
[01:41:55] Speaker C: The heat sink.
[01:41:55] Speaker A: I think it's no different from the
[01:41:57] Speaker C: secret or the moon.
[01:41:58] Speaker B: No, the. Oh, every time? Yeah.
Whenever Max gets like, audibly. Oh, shits.
[01:42:08] Speaker A: Yeah. It's kind of, like, when the young bucks do it and they're just like, oh, God, help me.
[01:42:13] Speaker C: Yeah, it's true. I do love it when they cry out.
[01:42:18] Speaker B: It's funny.
[01:42:19] Speaker A: Oh, good.
[01:42:22] Speaker B: Oh, I feel. I feel like it all. I feel like it all stems from Ric Flair. I got.
[01:42:29] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:42:30] Speaker A: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[01:42:33] Speaker B: no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah. No. Oh, Jesus Christ.
[01:42:38] Speaker A: Yeah. So Speedball's kicking the. Out of Max.
Kenny mentions willing to wrestle Darby. Excalibur name drops pwg.
Kenny's saying that he wants to wrestle Darby. He repeats that whole sequence twice. Because they say it once on the Triller commercial and then again, like, on the regular thing, and it's like, oh, man, I don't give a.
[01:43:02] Speaker B: You try. Are you trying to convince yourself, honey? Like, I get it. I get it.
[01:43:06] Speaker C: I was wondering. I thought I was tripping, but, yeah, they.
[01:43:09] Speaker A: Yeah, they did say it twice. Then that happened.
Excalibur name drops pwg. And how Kenny Omega wrestled speedball there for the first time.
And then right after that.
[01:43:20] Speaker C: What's pwg?
[01:43:22] Speaker A: Pro Wrestling? Gorilla. It was like a big super indie.
Really big on the LA scene.
A lot of guys got their start there, but, like, they were.
It was like a destination indie, you could say.
Where, like, they just. They were just in California, but they would fly out guys from all over the place. Lots of Japanese wrestlers there as well.
[01:43:47] Speaker B: I feel like pw, I feel like PWG was, like, the biggest indie next to, like, Ring of Honor. Like, Ring of Honor would be, like, a step up, would you say, like.
[01:43:56] Speaker A: Yeah, because pwg.
PWG was more regional. Like, I said, like, they. They. That's why I thought.
[01:44:02] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[01:44:03] Speaker A: They didn't tour the way Ring of Honor did.
Yeah, Because.
[01:44:06] Speaker B: Yeah, that's why Ring of Honor was national.
Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.
But also the East Coast, West Coast, PWG was like the west coast big indie, whereas Ring of Honor was mostly East Coast. That's what I was thinking. Yeah.
[01:44:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
God.
[01:44:25] Speaker B: That's where you get the box, where you get all that.
[01:44:29] Speaker A: Yep. We continue, actually, with the pwg. More. More. Pwg. Shout out as Speedball hits a Falcon Arrow. And Excalibur knows that they did the deal, which used to be Excalibur would call that move all the time at pwg. Oh, they did Falcon Arrow. They did the deal. Nobody kicks out of the Falcon Arrow. And they kick out.
[01:44:52] Speaker B: Amazing. Oh, Excalibur waited. Oh, I'm happy he still gets to play the hits for himself. Even if nobody gets it, nobody else gets it.
Pwg. Also where we get Excalibur.
[01:45:05] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:45:06] Speaker A: Oh, cool.
Speedballs going for something on the top ropes, but they're selling their neck and their shoulders.
MJF knocks them down.
Looks for another apron. Pile driver counter into the calypso to Max.
They missed the Ultimo weapon, but they recover with the running kick and snapdragon.
There you go, Kenny. There's a snapdragon.
[01:45:29] Speaker B: Yeah, they even mentioned it. Hey, yeah, that looks familiar.
[01:45:32] Speaker C: Yeah, they're like, if you're gonna take it from the best.
[01:45:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, God. Oh, I don't want a snapdragon from Kenny.
[01:45:41] Speaker A: Max ducks a pair of kicks, but speedball is basically just like, all momentum.
Knocks him out with the third one time adventure kick. Connects with Ultima weapon, but, like, Max immediately flops so that he's close to the ropes and he gets his foot on the ropes.
Speedball wants Nicolepsy again. Misses on the apron. Max gets a tombstone, shouts God bless America, and then hits the heat seeker and wins.
Yeah.
[01:46:06] Speaker C: Max daring Omega dead in the eyes the entire time. The little.
[01:46:11] Speaker A: Yep. Creep. Little creep.
[01:46:15] Speaker C: But he also had to go make it for the first night of Passover. This is where my. One of my favorite signs popped up because I was like, what do you. Come on, mjf. What are you talking about? There's no, like, rules in regards to, like, when observing the first night of Passover, but, like, there was a happy Passover and a matzo box on a. On a postcard. Happy mjf or cardboard. It was a great sign. That's one of my favorites.
[01:46:44] Speaker A: Well, it starts at. It starts at sundown, right?
[01:46:47] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. So this card starts at five.
Yeah.
[01:46:52] Speaker A: Yeah. So it probably wouldn't have been. Yeah, he would have been fine.
[01:46:55] Speaker C: Too late.
[01:46:56] Speaker A: You've been fine. Yeah, Maybe he can. I don't know how it works. I don't know. I don't. I don't. I don't know how Seder works. Happy Passover. Anybody that did.
[01:47:06] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, Happy Passover, where we're.
[01:47:09] Speaker A: We're all Passover.
[01:47:11] Speaker C: It really depends on the household told, but it's pretty chill. You just. You read stories and you do a ritual and have some foods.
[01:47:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm into it.
[01:47:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:47:21] Speaker A: Yeah, it's pretty great. Anything that's just like, hang out and eat food is good by me.
[01:47:26] Speaker B: I got. I gotta say, if any organized religion was going to pull me back in, I say again, again. It's. It's Judaism. It's like, it. Telling stories, eating food. And. And one of the core tenants Is telling God that she's wrong.
I'm like, yeah, yeah. Like if I'm good to organize religion, that's it. Yeah.
[01:47:48] Speaker A: My one friend who's Jewish just did explain it that same way.
It's just like, just argue about the law. Just go, just argue. Fight with people.
I can get behind that.
[01:48:07] Speaker C: Yeah, sure.
Builds community.
[01:48:11] Speaker A: Match is over. Max jumps Speedball. Omega goes to help him.
Max runs away, calls county bombs speedball still because everybody's got the neck now.
Everybody do the neck.
They help Speedball up and they let the crowd cheer the Canadians, who, yep, are 50 losers tonight.
Kind of a weird ending. Yeah, it was better than.
[01:48:49] Speaker B: But they did get the good book the tariffs chant in there. So I'd say they got the, the
[01:48:52] Speaker A: tariff shot in there.
Thank God.
It was, it was, it was, it was an episode of Dynamite.
Twas I crowd was kind of quiet.
Didn't really help. Matches were good. Like, that's always like the benefit of these things for me is the matches are solid.
[01:49:11] Speaker B: But yeah, I guess I'm, I'm indifferent about the, the Jericho of it all. We'll, we'll see. We'll see what happens.
[01:49:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I, I realized watching this week that I hated the last couple shows so much because I was so pissed about other stuff. And that was definitely affecting my enjoyment of the Dynamites. So, like this week I was less about everything. Yeah, I was just like, no, I'm,
[01:49:46] Speaker B: I see where you're coming from. And I'm, I'm so happy that's true for you, I'm pretty sure. For me, the last like three or so dynamite sucked ass.
And that's just what happened.
[01:49:57] Speaker A: And that's, I'm trying to remember what they, I, I don't really remember last week.
[01:50:01] Speaker B: They didn't talk about it exactly. Exactly.
[01:50:05] Speaker A: Oh, no. Last week was the Brody one where Brody wasn't there.
[01:50:13] Speaker B: Otherwise.
[01:50:14] Speaker C: And they wanted Brody there and they didn't give it to them.
[01:50:18] Speaker B: He came out after, didn't give him on tv.
He came out when the cameras went off to help save.
And so like the people in the building got Brody and I'm pleased for that.
[01:50:31] Speaker C: Well, it's good, Good for them.
[01:50:33] Speaker B: Yeah. It was just one of those things where it's like, I can, I understand why. Sure. Do I give a. No, Give the people what they want.
[01:50:43] Speaker C: Yeah. True.
[01:50:46] Speaker A: I wasn't, I wasn't directly mad about it then because we didn't talk about. I didn't have to think about it. I just, I, I, I legitimately, like, logged off Internet last weekend and was just like. I. I. Damn, that works.
[01:51:03] Speaker C: Yeah. Touching grass, actually.
[01:51:05] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, I hate. I hate to say it, but touching grass is. Is. I've been doing it more.
[01:51:09] Speaker A: I mean, that's like, that's.
That's the problem. These devil boxes come with us everywhere.
[01:51:15] Speaker B: They follow. They come with you. The boxes. Yeah, yeah. It comes with.
[01:51:20] Speaker C: Oh, right. That was the Kenny Omega Swerve v.
EVP match.
Yeah.
[01:51:28] Speaker A: I mean, I wasn't that thrilled with last week's episode either, but, like, can see that it was better than the last. The two weeks before that.
[01:51:38] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:51:39] Speaker A: Which were both really bad.
And then last week's was meh. And this was. Was like, I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
Even with the Jericho of it all.
I thought I would have about Jericho, but I don't like, I don't care.
[01:51:57] Speaker C: Damn, that's. See, that's. It is not necessarily hate. It's indifference, which is the. The bitterest.
A dagger. I will say. Like, know who you are. Like,
[01:52:13] Speaker B: actually, it reminds me.
[01:52:16] Speaker C: It reminds me of the. The Mad Men scene in the elevator where the little guy's like, I feel so sorry for you. And Don's just like, I don't think about you at all.
[01:52:31] Speaker A: All right. I haven't seen Madman. I can't really comment on it at all,
[01:52:36] Speaker B: but that's the gist. Yeah. But yeah, Jericho.
[01:52:40] Speaker A: Jericho.
We'll see if he likes.
[01:52:42] Speaker B: We'll see how it goes. But Jericho. Because maybe it can be entertaining. That'd be nice.
[01:52:48] Speaker A: He was genuinely like my piss break when he was on TV last.
[01:52:53] Speaker C: Yeah, well, first five minutes of the show, like, if you needed to heat up your leftovers or finish off your dinner, it was really great.
[01:53:03] Speaker A: Honestly, that sucked because it's like, I have to recap this. I.
Are you going to do anything? No, you didn't do anything you didn't do.
[01:53:15] Speaker C: Said four words and walked out.
[01:53:17] Speaker A: I could have watch dishes and then watch the women's match when it happened because I had to go back and rewatch the women's match because, oh, that pissed me off too, because I was like, oh, it's commercial. I'll go do like, like clean up after dinner real quick. And I clean up after dinner really fast and oh, what do I come back? The women's match is half over. It hadn't even started. It was short, like, off.
Jericho, you eating?
[01:53:47] Speaker B: Anyways, where are we in this match? Is this match over?
[01:53:50] Speaker A: It's over. No, we're done.
[01:53:51] Speaker B: Yeah, we did.
[01:53:54] Speaker C: Yeah, we've been done for, like.
Yeah. This is just hard chatting.
[01:53:58] Speaker A: You've been thinking about snake monster, aren't you?
[01:54:02] Speaker B: I've been thinking about this guts.
[01:54:04] Speaker C: The mixture of guts.
[01:54:06] Speaker B: And I'm gonna be so.
[01:54:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:54:09] Speaker B: Oh, no. I'm gonna be so real with y'.
[01:54:12] Speaker A: All.
[01:54:12] Speaker B: A friend of mine came over very briefly and dropped something off for me, and she talked about how if you go to the the Gate soccer bar in St Paul, Blackheart, which is awesome. If you go there, you can kiss girls. And it's all I. Yeah, no, it's all I've been able to think about for, like, two weeks.
So I got distracted. I apologize. Happy wrestling.
[01:54:39] Speaker A: Happy wrestling.
If that's your thing.
[01:54:43] Speaker B: If that's your thing, that's your thing. Graphs and kissing girls are two things that I am into very much so.
So. Hell, yeah.
Anything else we want to say before we get out of here?
Thanks for the week off, folks, please. Thank you for sticking around. Anyways, we needed it.
[01:55:06] Speaker A: Always remember that most appropriate thing to do at any given time if you don't know what to do is, I don't know. Fire about a car.
Yeah. God damn it.
[01:55:19] Speaker B: Ring bell. Ring, bell, ring.
Happy wrestling.
[01:55:43] Speaker A: You know what I forgot to say about that bit was he got, like, birthed out of that car.
[01:55:48] Speaker C: Yeah, it's true.
[01:55:50] Speaker A: He's like, oh, no, it's a breach.
[01:55:53] Speaker C: The safety glass. He pushes through.
[01:55:55] Speaker A: Put him back.
[01:55:58] Speaker C: Put him back.
[01:56:00] Speaker A: The car is giving birth. That it made an.
