Super Media Bros. If you canbelieve this, the last hour and

(00:30):
twenty minutes of this pay per viewwere three matches. Shit. Yeah,
Like when you put it that way, it's like, fuck, dude,
it sounds like it would be overkill. But I'm thinking in my head about
what those matches were, and I'mlike, yeah, I wouldn't have changed
anything a quality. Yeah. Welcometo the Supermedia Bros. Podcast, where
two best friends give comedically informative takeson movies, music, pro wrestling,

(00:52):
and more. I'm Richie, I'mDevn. This is episode three hundred and
two, and we are covering awFull Gear twenty twenty three from Los Angeles,
California in Inglewood, California, becausethey don't want to say Los Angeles.
Yeah they did that for for Houston, didn't they. Yeah, they
did that for Houston. And thenthe crowd was getting pissed. They were
just like, we are not Houston. Yeah I was. I was at

(01:14):
that show. Nobody was really battingan eye. But I heard people at
the Galleria, like thirty forty minutesaway from the venue, stopped by the
Van Store, and they were like, yeah, you know, they keep
saying it's in Houston, it's inHouston. It's not fucking Houston. Like,
we didn't have that problem in thecrowd itself because it's just the pop
you know, hey bro, thisis this is Inglewood, bro. But

(01:36):
the people that were in Houston,they seemed a little like, I wouldn't
say aggravated or insulted, but theywere just kind of like, why are
you saying that it's not either way? This was a loaded card, Yes
it was. I'm saying this knowingwe had all In this year. This
was the best aw pay per viewthis year. A match quality, I

(01:57):
agree, That's what I'm that's whatI'm getting at. Like, okay,
Spectacle all In for suit, allIn was legitimately built different. Yeah,
and I'm talking top to bottom matches. Yeah, this is the pay per
view of the year. The crowdwas hot all fucking night, dude.
The matches were on fucking fire.I legitimately did not see a match that
I was like, eh, yeah, no, it was all very very

(02:21):
good. I also didn't have anyhead scratching moments in terms of booking.
The only one that I was likeoh was actually the TBS match. Yeah,
and we'll get there for sure.That's like dead center of the pay
per view. But which, bythe way, I didn't dislike that call.
I just want to say that itwas the call that threw me for

(02:44):
a loop. Full disclosure, Devindid not get to see the Zero hour
pre show. No, so I'mgonna zoom through it because it's really not
like you can spend time on it. But I mean really all the matches
were around like ten to eleven minutes. Well, if you have something to
say those specific like, dude,I do it for sure. So like,
okay, Eddie Kingston and j Letholwas a pretty fucking great opening match

(03:07):
I miss at Kingston. Yeah,and it was for the Ring of Honor
Championship. And again it's you know, it's Eddie and and jayle Ethel.
You're you're getting you know what you'regetting. Yeah, That's why I almost
wish you didn't say that. I'msad. Okay, but Eddie okay.
So Eddie goes over in ten minutesand fifty five seconds, and the bigger
story coming out of this match isthe Continental Classic. Eddie Kingston is putting

(03:31):
both the Ring of Honor Championship andthe new Japan Pro Wrestling open Weight title
on the line in the Continental Classic. Oh fuck, Because they are creating
a new championship with the Continental Classic. It is going to be the Triple
Crown title and it's going to bedefended in Ring of Honor awn n JPW.

(03:53):
Whoever wins the whole fucking thing getsall three belts. They're unifying them,
okay, because then my next wouldn'tbe like, what if it was
the one before the semifinals and doesn'tthe person that win it in third place?
Do they put it up on theline for the semifinals through the entire
thing because those because they're getting unified, getting okay, so it's getting grandfathers

(04:15):
in. It's not just Eddie,No, it's whoever wins the like that's
why they're on the line on theline. Okay, they're okay, they're
gonna unify all three Oh wow,Okay, yeah, okay, yeah,
So pretty much whatever championship they comeup with for this tournament is gonna be
a triple Crown title, okay,where it is defended between three companies.

(04:35):
Is it a trophy or is ita title? It's gonna be a championship
belt. Okay, okay, okay, this is the type of relationship I
want to see between these companies,man, right, because we even talked
about uh with Forbidden Door. Ourone nitpick is that it almost feels like
every title match is a and Iknow how this is gonna go. And

(04:56):
that's what I think is gonna makethis championship more meaningful. And if they
put that belt on the line inthe Continental Classic every year, that means
more. No, that's actually reallycool. So it's like a all Japan
and it's also kind of like ag one climax shortage. Okay, yeah,
oh yeah, it's it's good shit. Okay. And then the next

(05:16):
match on the CARB was Claudio Cascianoliversus Buddy Matthews. Are you fucking kidding?
I miss that? Yeah? Arethese matches on YouTube? By chance?
Yeah? It's a free show okay, okay, yeah, because any
time usually I make it in timefor a pay per view, so I
just get it all right right intersynct, so I never had to like
app swap or anything like that.So okay, okay, that I definitely

(05:44):
need to watch, So you givea shit if it's spoiled or do you
want to do watch? No,No, it's it's Buddy versus Claudio.
I know I'm getting a great match, Okay, So Claudio goes over by
submission in this match, wow,surprisingly, But the fall up is that
he's trying to shake Buddy's hand andBuddy like shoulder checks him on the way
out, which obviously there's an entirefeud right now building between the Blackpool Combat
Club and the House of Black whichI'm that's gonna be a fucking money feud.

(06:08):
Get the fuck we eaten? Nextup, I know we're blowing through
this, but goddamn. Next upis MJF and Samoa Joe versus the Guns
for the Ring of Honor tag titles. MJF and Samoa Joe go over and
Samoa Joe and MJF shake hands witheach other. But after the match,
the Guns attack MJF, which you'veseen on the replay how they sucked his
leg up and all this other shit. So that kind of plays into the

(06:30):
championship match at the ass end ofthe show. But getting into the pay
per view proper, we open withthe six man tag match of Sting,
Darby and Adam Copeland versus the Patriarchy, which is Christian Cage, Lucasorts,
and Nick Wayne. First of all, the entrance was sick. I'm happy
they didn't go with a separate entrancefor those three and they let them all

(06:54):
have like a moment and then theyall come out to Metalingus. Yeah,
it was really cool. The facepaint was cool, like just their attires
all looked cool. I fear forDarby, but you know, uh,
we'll get there later. I waskind of pissed off because the I'm gonna
just go ahead and say this rightnow, Bleacher Report, fix your fucking
appy piece of shit. I misseda quarter of this match because, oh

(07:16):
shit, did you see the Darbyspot to the outside. Are you talking
about when he took the fucking bumpoff of the side, Oh when he
got fucking slammed on the apron.Yeah, that was pretty fucking bad.
Like I said, I fear forthis man. Godspeed at Mount Everest.
Yeah. I don't know, dude, I've got a weird feeling in my
stomach about Darby, and I'm sayingthat as a diehard fan. I've got

(07:41):
several T shirts, like I'm ahuge fan of Darby. Yeah, I'm
not wishing I will buy any stretch. I just you've worried about him.
Yeah, I'm nervous. Uh,sometimes I wonder if he actually genuinely has
a death wish. He's an adrenalinejunkie, honestly, Like, you know,
that's what I That's what I seeis an adrenaline junkie. I mean,
I'm not saying that's a bad thing. He's just he's a thrill secret.

(08:01):
There's a lot of people that fuckinggo rock climbing that are like that,
They do sky diving, all kindof shit. But may hey man
all power to do it. Ifhe can get up that motherfucker. Hell
yeah, Oh dude, if hecan do it, great press incredible.
I'm just nervous and granted. Partof it is because I actually did have

(08:22):
a genuine dream not too long agowhere he did have an accident. Yeah,
did take it. So like now, anytime I'm watching him, I'm
like, is this the day thatthe dream like becomes something like it was?
This? Is this it? Yeah? Is this the foreshadowing? I
don't know, but U sting Darbyand Adam go over rate match, Yeah,
dude, and I know that thisis building up to eventually having Adam

(08:46):
and Christian have a one on likehaving a one on one match. They
need to hold off on that.They definitely need to make sure that that
match, when it does happen,that needs to happen at all in next
year. Dude, do you thinkthat they can like milk it? It's
it's dude, it's Adam and Christian. I if there are two people in
this company that I trust to draga fucking feud out for over again,

(09:07):
and it's fair, it's those twobecause think about how long they've been back
and forth with each other. Howmany decades? Now that almost three decades.
Not only that, but you andI have talked on Aaron saying like,
yeah, you know edge him andseth Rawlins love to get the maneah,
dude, And it's not a badthing by any stretch. And Christian
is having the best run of hiscareer. I this is doubt. This

(09:30):
is out doing his fucking TNA runin my opinion, which I thought was
better than his initial fed run.Yeah, like I I love everything that
he has done and said, uh, this about the fucker wrestles at a
turtleneck dude, dude, the onething that I am hoping that they do
is make mention of the entrance withthe with the choir. Yeah. I

(09:50):
want him so badly to say ondynamite this week. Yeah, you know,
Uh, I came out to anarmy of orphans. I swear to
God, I swear on everything.I tweeted this is say Live tweeted when
that happened. I was like,man, he would be coming out to
a bunch of fatherless children singing himto the ring. Dude, I'm telling
you that they didn't say it,but that has to be the implication,

(10:13):
right What if AW actually outsourced anorphan choir to do this? Like irl?
Oh dude, you know what I'mbuying more merch. I'm getting a
fucking flag, I'm getting fucking I'mgetting my man's gonna donate to that fucking
fund and everything. My brother inChrist. I'm getting the fucking main middle

(10:33):
plate of the AW world title tattooedon my belly. I'm getting the works,
dude, he's gonna get the ChristianCage nameplate put on that bitch and
everything you want to talk about allin. I'm going all in. Oh
shit, Who's Your Daddy in ChristianCage fifteen minutes and ten seconds, Sting,
Darby and Adam go over top threematches of the night in my opinion.

(10:54):
Hell yah. Moving on to theInternational Championship match with John Mox's Orange
Cassidy, Dude, this is great. This was just as good as their
match. It all out and theright person went over. I love that
Moxley put him over cleanly in themiddle of the ring. Very rare.
And but that's the thing about Johndude is when he puts somebody over,

(11:18):
he puts them over damn near cleananytime that he knows that this person is
going to be the guy or oneof the guys. Not that Cassidy's gimmick
was ever shit, because I've alwaysloved Orange Cassidy. Yeah, but you
cannot deny that that man has improvedby leaps and bounds in the last year.
Yeah, he feels okay. Soit's always felt like he understood his

(11:41):
character and he understood his match types. But now it feels more like he
understands his role, like his positionwithin the company. He comes off more
like comfortable. Yeah, and heis like one of the workhorses in this
company. Yeah, at this point, it's like, it's really weird to

(12:03):
me because whenever AEW was founded,it always felt like MJF was the guy
that people looked at and were like, Oh, he's the guy that can
only talk. He's not that greatin the ring. And now he's pretty
much shut everybody up. Everybody canacknowledge, No, this is a world
class professional wrestler through and through right, Orange weirdly enough still gets like some

(12:26):
flak. I mean, if thegimmick isn't your thing, I get that
he's got good crossover people with kidsthough because of that. But and I
get that too. But if youwant to shit on the character, fine,
I shit on the John Cena characterfor years. It's like whatever we
all did, it was fun todo. So I understand that I whatever.

(12:50):
But to sit there and say no, his matches suck, I don't
understand how you can debate that.I fully agree with that. Yeah,
and I'm not like talking shit toanybody. Like if if you have a
genuine reasoning to not liking his matches, feel free to comment. But I

(13:11):
just I enjoy it. Yeah,I do too, And it's the in
ring work, and that's what Iwas getting at in this match, especially,
lots of great back and forth,lots of great selling on both parts.
The physicality getting amped up like midwaythrough the match is always a good
thing, like, and I lovewhenever that happens, because it seems like
Moxley's like third gear kicks in,like every fucking time there's a sign of

(13:33):
blood from either him or somebody elsein that fucking ring. It's like he
wakes up and he's like, ohno, this, this is this is
happening. It makes you wonder howwhat was he doing in the backstage locker
room area during the Swerve match,screaming at the monitor, probably like pretty
much. But I like that ittook and I counted them. It took

(13:54):
Cassidy six orange punches and a beachbreak to pin him clean nine out of
ten times. I hate that shit. But whenever it is somebody that,
like we just said, somebody thathas only been pinned a couple of times,
handful, yeah, like, it'smore understandable. I mean, fuck,

(14:18):
it's not like a Cody Rhoads thing, which I love Cody. Like,
the one issue that I have withhis matches is he does this thing
now where it looks cool, buthe does like the triple Crossroads to even
a mid carter to the point whereI'm like, I don't save that for
somebody that needs to be put downthat many times, like brock lessness reigns

(14:41):
even right, But if you're doingthat shit to somebody that might have the
US title, dude, you're beinga dick. At that point, I
don't even look at it as beinga dick. I look at it as,
oh, this move is that weekyou need to do it three times?
Yeah, I don't like that.So but with the Orange thing,
I understand. Yeah, because withOrange, like he's a smaller gentleman like

(15:03):
comparatively speaking, but Moxley is alsothat tough, right. He's he's looked
at as this company's one of theirgoats. I should say he's pretty much
the dude that's like, Okay,is this dude gonna be able to hang
in aw? Put him on thering with put him in the ring with
mox Yeah. And it used tobe Cody until he left, right,

(15:24):
I remember that shit and he didgreat with that role. Yeah, but
Cassidy retains in twelve minutes and fiveseconds, And I'll be honest with you,
dude. The International title is probablymy actual favorite championship in this company.
Really, yeah, dude, Ifeel like that that belt has more
prestige to it than even the worldtitle does, right, really, yes,

(15:46):
yes, okay, okay, I'mlistening. People have been fucking vying
for that goddamn thing, even thoughit switched hands a few times based upon
like a legitimate injury, right right. I don't hold that again, dude.
The fact that okay, so Cassidyheld it for almost a calendar year.
Moxley was about to have a megafucking run with it, but then

(16:07):
the fact that Cassie was like,no, that's my fucking title. But
the way they booked it, thatchampionship feels so important. Mmmm. It's
the workhorse title. It's been heldby some fucking great people already, World
title aside, That is the toptitle in this company. It may have
vented a pay per view when wedidn't have a fucking world title match.

(16:29):
Dude. It is the most importantchampionship and the only reason it wouldn't be
the world title, even though I'dhold that one above it just slightly.
There were some hiccups with the bookingof Hangman I don't hold that against him,
but I think they squandered his runand the whole punk debacle. I
mean, we're not playing the pointfingers thing here. It's just that made

(16:52):
the world title look a certain wayfor a brief period. Yeah, and
right now, the way they're tryingto book the World Championship is where they
need to keep going, where they'rehaving so many people eyeballing Max for that
belt. Now, moving on tothe Women's World Championship matches, Timeless Tony
Beautiful versus Hikaru Shida, who wasthe champion ten minutes and twenty five seconds,

(17:15):
Tony Storm loads her ass with afucking metal plate and does the hip
attack on Hikaru s I fucking lovethis. Timeless Tony Storm makes sense.
It's so much, dude. Itis the greatest fucking thing I have seen
in the women's division in quite sometime. And I love you already know

(17:36):
as like a centophile. I lovethe fucking black and white silent film thing.
I love that she's going full Monroewith this. She is, and
I love like not only as justsomebody that loves filmmaking, but also I
love it as somebody that you knowme, whether it's movies, music,
whatever. I love experimentation, especiallywhenever it's experimental but still digestible, where

(18:03):
you can show your mom and she'llbe like, well that was different,
but she can still digest it.She understands it. That's one thing that
I love about this. This isa great example of that. And the
match itself was very well worked.Yes, it was. Yeah, because
even though going into this I hada feeling that Tony was gonna win.

(18:25):
The way she did it, Iwas like, Okay, this is kind
of funny how she's there was amoment where like that was about to slide
out the back end of her fuckingtrunks and she just like turns to the
corner. She's like he and fixesit, roaling fast and then just charges
at her. I was like,oh my god, this bitch really fucking
did that hip. But I lovehow dramatic she got, Like, you
know, her character's so fucking great, how Luther carries her to the back

(18:48):
and she's like swooning over her beltand I'm like, this is fucking money.
Especially on the sequences on Dynamite,whenever her fucking silent shorts plate picked
in picture. That is so fuckinggreat it is. Uh. I do
wonder how because Okay, on thedays that I'm still working, I've got

(19:11):
it playing on my phone while I'mworking, and so whenever it's that tiny
of a screen, it can bedifficult. So I do wonder about like
some people that have smaller TVs.But I think we live in a time
now where we can all see what'sbeing done. Right, Yeah, the
phones are big enough now and thenthe HD aspect of it is like crystal

(19:33):
clear enough that we get what's happening. Yeah. I wasn't sure, like
because like I said, on myphone and then at the TV that I
usually watch it, but we havedifferent TVs, so we're both confirming that
it's viewable, like it's not.Yeah for sure? Okay, cool,
cool, but yeah timeless. TonyStorm wins her third aw Women's Championship.

(19:56):
That's so wild to think about her, and yeah, her and hit car
Sheet are the only three time women'schampion in this company. Moving on to
the next match, Okay, Isay that there's matches that I didn't have
problems with. I didn't even havea problem with this match. It's just
that what are they doing with thetag titles? Right? Now is what
I kind of want to know,because like, it's it's Ricky Starks and
Big Bill who are the champions Leastto Go? And Rouche and then FTR

(20:21):
and then Kings of the Black Thronein a ladder match fatal four way crazy
match. Yeah, crazy fucking match. I mean, Ricky Starks and Big
Bill retained in twenty thirty five,but like some of the spots in this
match scared the shit out of me. Uh huh. The the Gonzo bomb
on the ladder, yeah, Iwas like, I thought he broke that
motherfucker's neck at first. Honestly Idid too. I was like, God

(20:45):
damn, I was like mandalistic,go about to go to the fucking hot
He debuted and retired, Like youknow what I'm saying, I want to
debut with this company. He's like, all right, cool man. It's
like see you later there, Budand bro. Every time Cash Dak's work
a match, do you know whatI think about? I think about,
well, what's the tweet from Dak'sgonna be where he's hurt this time?

(21:07):
Because God damn, that poor sonof a bitch is banged up after every
fucking match they have dude, Iknow well, and for some reason,
it's like, Okay, Dax isnot young, but he's not old either,
but he carries himself like a grislyveteran who's been doing this for forty

(21:27):
five years. I don't know whatit is. It's just his his aesthetic,
just uncle Dax. Yeah, likehe just he comes off like he's
older than he is. I don'tknow what it is. I think it's
because he's got that aesthetic of likethose old school fucking gruff wrestling, Like

(21:49):
I don't, I don't know,just somebody that's not from this era.
That's why I always say that FTRW to fit so well in the Crockett
days. Dude, they haveah.I mean it's not even just you know,
because of their entrance music and likehow they they are essentially a throwback
to that era. But like Iwould give anything, you know how we
always talk about like, oh man, it would be cool to see Brett,

(22:11):
Hard and Kurt angle in their primeagainst one another. Give me and
I shit you not, this wouldbe a dream match for me. Give
me Arnt and Tully versus Cash andDax in their prime. How fucking amazing
would that tag match be incredible.Yeah, Kings of the Black Throne wonderful.
I will always watch anything that theHouse of Black does. The House

(22:33):
always wins, goddamn it. Butyou know, I don't want to see
them waste these guys in matches likethis. I really feel like the House
of Black should be trying to gettheir fucking trios titles back that or I
mean, is it asking too muchto get Malachi a singles title? No

(22:55):
hit the fucker is needed. Iwould love to see him or Brody have
something like that. Dude, thosetwo are two, like the whole fucking
team really, but they're too goodto be yes kind of shoveled off into
this shit like in a perfect worldone day, one day, not now.
But I would love to see Malachiwith the world title, Brody with

(23:21):
I don't know, T and T, get Buddy with the International, Julia
with the TBS, you know,like can we do that, and then
fingers crossed eventually they pull the trigger, Sky Black with the women's title.
Yeah, I mean, I feellike I'm not asking too much. It'd

(23:45):
be really fucking cool to have theHouse winning, like finally, the House
wins. Yeah everything, Yeah,Ricky Starks and Big Bill remind me of
Shawn Michaels and Diesel. They do. And that's the thing too, is
like we're talking an awful lot aboutFTR and House of Black, but they're
they're great too, like Big Billand Ricky Like, yeah, yeah,

(24:10):
I love them. I do too. It's so weird because at first was
like, why are they doing this? And now I'm like, you know,
it works, it does because ofthat dynamic. I'm curious to see
where this goes. Considering they retainedand typically at full gear. I'm not
saying like none of the titles aremajor, but what I'm saying is like
one of the major men's championships typicallychange hands. You know what I'm saying,

(24:33):
Like, typically that happens that thatdoesn't spoiler, that doesn't happen tonight.
No, you know what, I'mjust now noticing that. Yeah,
yeah, so yeah, Ricky andBill retained in twenty minutes. Yeah,
in twenty minutes and thirty five seconds. And then from the Kings of the
Black Throne being in this match,we moved to Julia Hart, Chris Statlander
and sky Blue in a three wayfor the AEWTBS Championship was greatly worked match.

(24:57):
I was. I think Sky Blueand Julia both have improved by leaves
and bounds, especially Julia Hart.She's twenty two and she's working like a
fucking ring vet. Did you noticeher gear? Did you notice Chris Statlander's
gear? By any chance? Whichpart? Okay? So do you remember
Dodgeball? Yes? I do.Yeah, she came out in Ben Steller's

(25:18):
gear, man from the fucking fromhis team? Is that? Yeah,
dude? Because I was so likeshe came out global Gym gear. Cause
I was okay, cause I waspaying so much attention to the Julia and
sky story both in the ring andalso like, oh, well, Sky's
now coming out with some fucking screamout in the background, like like a
reverb chorus thing, and she's gotthe black embedded into the blues, so

(25:44):
it's like it's there. And thenthe obvious end ring storytelling, and oh,
Julia Hart's got like a heart aroundher eye like all of that stuff
I was, and then Chris Stylandercomes in and I'm so focused on her
power moves that I didn't even like, and also just a sad story of
like, damn dude, when shecame in, we were so fucking hyped

(26:08):
and then she just only had whatthree matches after it feels like and it's
sad that she's had a few,but I just wish they did more.
Yeah, she deserves more, ohfor sure. Honestly, dude, like
put Chris Statlander in the women's championship, yes, spot, it was absolutely
like, Julia Hart goes over andwins the championship and it is her time.

(26:33):
It is her time to do this. And that's the one match where
it threw a curveball at me becauseI did think that it would be sky
But either that is a fresh feudright there, though, and that is
a great money feud, especially giventhe way that Julia Hart explains how her
mist works, where she alluded tothe fact that the myst doesn't always take

(26:56):
with its host. How whoever shemissed could accept it and embrace it like
she did, or they can fightit. And it looks like sky Blue
is having that slow transition right andI'm enjoying it. And that's the thing.
It threw me for a curveball,But once I saw it, I
was like, okay, so whatwe can do here is eventually she does

(27:19):
join the house, but then it'slike, what I'm picturing in my head
is sky joining. But then afterthat it's like, Okay, you've been
sunning me long enough. This isnot a quarrel within the house, but
I want my shot. It couldbe something like that, or she does
eventually leave. It could go anydirection. Really. In eleven minutes and

(27:42):
twenty seconds. Again, this wasthe surprise of the night for me as
far as like who got put overand who won? So really enjoyed it.
Yeah, and we have two ofthe women's championships changing hands in the
same show, greatly deserved by both. Yes, we're gonna take a break
and we'll come back and talk aboutthe final three matches on the card.

world, beer and the wonderful weirdAl. She also wants me to tell
you that she rules and I drool. Lauren is awesome. I smell like
feet. Go listen to the beardAl podcast, available wherever you get podcasts.
Lauren is the best at running theshow. I'm just side talent.
Lauren is so great. All Right, we're back, and the uh one

(28:49):
hour and twenty minutes that we spokeabout at the top of the show is
about to happen. We're gonna kickoff a trilogy of matches that are just,
by and large, the of thenight on this card, and we've
already had a hell of a cardbuilding up to this. The first of
this trilogy is Swerve Strickland versus HangmanAdam Page in a Texas death match.

(29:12):
Yeah, I'm buying some Swerve merch. I love Hangman, but Swerve is
like, I don't know, dude, we talked about it before the show.
I always liked Swerve. Oh samehere, dude. The guy has
got swag for fucking days. Hehe drips with fucking like charisma like yeah

(29:33):
that he he he always had it. But I was always like, where's
that glass ceiling about to shatter?Yeah? And it happened whenever he broke
into Nick Wayne's little like shd thatI was like, you give me more
of this, right, and ohmy god, they have. Yeah,
they amped it up with the wholelike the fact that whenever they when he

(29:56):
went from page the first time,I was like, okay, what is
this bullsh Like I swear to godit first I was like what is this?
And then they had their first matcheslike that was a great match.
And then when they amped it upwith the home invasion angle, I love
those, by the ways, same. It reminded me a lot of Austin
and Pillman. Yes. Yeah,so I was like, okay, that's
speaking of I do have a pointto make with this. Okay, So

(30:18):
what I'm enjoying about Swerve's run rightnow going into this match. Who was
getting cheered and booed in this match? It was a mix, but it
was predominantly Swerve getting cheered. Man, That's my point exactly. Now,
I want to bring this up beforeI forget about it, because I will,

(30:40):
because I definitely want to spend sometime on this match, because to
me, this is the match ofthe fucking night. This gave me now,
not one hundred percent. So anybodyout there listening that has seen the
match, I'm going to refer toand you think I'm fucking stupid for this,
Like go fuck yourself and really look, this gave me shades of Brett

(31:04):
and Austin at WrestleMania thirteen, becausedare I say I felt that crowd almost
double turning on these fuckers. Okay, okay, because at one point,
yeah, sure they were both gettingjeered, Yeah, but at one point
the crowd was getting pissed at.Swerve might not have been winning this,
especially when Naa jerked him out thering and put him on his feet.

(31:25):
The crowd was going fucking ballistic.Yeah. And by the way, uh,
kudos to Tony Khan because I didn'tthink he'd have the fucking sack to
have Swerve go over twice over aformer world champion like that. But I
mean that's the push, dude.I fucking feel like with this match,
especially that Swerve Strickland has like escalatedto the main event spot for sure.

(31:47):
Like if it means anything, I'mI'm probably gonna be buying some kind of
merch of some sort yeah soon,And to me, that's always like a
telltale sign, you know, wheneveryou're like all right, next pay day,
I'm gonna get some merch, youknow, like that's that's whenever you
know you got something. Uh,he's doing excellent, Like all of his
shit looks good. The only timethat like you could say that it didn't

(32:13):
make sense would be whenever he hadglass on Hangman and then he goes to
do a dive. Yeah, itwas a four fifty audit. Yeah,
that was a one hokey spot whereit's like, it doesn't make sense in
the context of a fight. Butat the same point, I was just
eating it up so much that Ididn't even notice it until after the fact

(32:36):
that I'm mentally reviewing it, right, you know, at that point it's
like a yeah, But in themoment, did were you having fun with
it? Yeah? Because there's somespots where we have staple guns and all
kinds of shit, which I loved. The moment when he stapled his child's
finger painting to his fuck I got. I loved it. It was sickening.

(33:00):
Yeah. And the spot where hekind of just like you know what,
fucking like, starts stapling himself andhe's got that look on his face.
Look. Swerve bled like a motherfuckerdude. Everything that Swerve did and
Hangman did too, it takes twoto tango. And also Hangman has some

(33:22):
excellent Texas Death matches period, He'snever lost one until this one. Yeah,
like they have all been fired too, you know. So we're talking
about Swerve because to me, thiswas a career defining match where it's like,
Okay, this guy not only isgoing to be in the main event,
but it wasn't Fluke match after Flukematch. This guy isn't just a

(33:46):
good hand. This guy could beone of your guys. Yeah, period,
we blame he will be too.Bro. So the spots in this
match that blew my fucking mind.We'll get to d one, but these
spots that blew my mind in thismatch were some of the shit they were
doing off the top rope into thering. Uh bruh. The way that

(34:08):
hay Man got his color in thismatch where he got pile driven on the
guardrail. Oh the guardrail. Ohdude, that one fucking blew my mind.
Yeah, because like when he fuckinggot laid out after that he was
on the floor and then when hesits up there's just a fucking pool spot
of blood. I was like,oh, that's where they fuck it.

(34:29):
Okay, So he got it onthe top of the goddamn head and then
Swerve was already bleeding buckets. SoI guess we'll just fucking address the elephant
in the room. The spot inquestion that Devin and I have seen making
the rounds on the internet and everywhere. It was the spot where hangman goes
underneath him and just picks up hishead and just opens his mouth and just

(34:54):
fountains that shit, just drinks hisblood and fucking triple h is it into
the air. Which and it's notlike a minor little no he My man's
was thirsty. My man's was bruh. My man was like he was going
to seven to eleven on Bring yourown Cup Day. Dude. That shit

(35:15):
was fucking foul. And as faras like all the backlash of it,
if it's just gross to you,like if you're like a germophobe sort of
thing, like and I'm not likespeaking ill of you, if you get
queasy with that. I have avery close friend that I wanted to say,
dude, did you watch this?But she ain't gonna watch that shit.

(35:37):
You know, if you're one ofthose, I totally get it.
You know. My concern is youguys have been blood tested, right,
Yeah. Man, that was theone thing that I was just like they
had to There's no fucking way.Yeah. And and hang man, Okay,
I understand Punk had said that he'san empty dumb fuck. You can

(36:00):
say that he has said ignorant things, you know, you can make that
comment, you know, But tosay that he's dumb, I wouldn't.
Uh. He was a school teacher, was he not? Yes, Okay,
So I don't think he's dumb ina book sense. I think he
has com You could say that hemight not have wherewithal, but he's an

(36:23):
educated man. He knows better thanto fuck around with blood like that,
So I think he knew what hewas doing. At least, this would
have never flown on television for amultitude of reasons. Dude, the FCC
would have had a fucking field day. Oh yeah, oh yeah, because
that that is like legitimately something thatwould get probably get the company banned from

(36:49):
TV. Yeah. And no,they're not gonna They're not gonna fuck around
with all that. No, dude. The one spot with the fucking barbed
wire chare and the oh my god, I was like, he's gonna go
blind, He's gonna fucking go blinde. That's what I thought too. I
thought it wentness the first time Isaw that happen on the replass like,
oh my god, that get himin the eye. And I swear on

(37:10):
everything, if his hair wouldn't havebeen there, might would have gotten him
in the eye. Oh my god. I just and that was that was
a freak thing, Like that wasn'tplanned in any way, but visually I
was like, this is one ofthe craziest fucking matches I've ever seen.
This is probably the most violent matchI have ever watched in a major promotion.

(37:31):
Yeah, Like, I'm sure somebodyin the comments is gonna come in
and say, well, actually,you've clearly never seen bla. Yeah.
Yeah, And by the way,feel free to send him our way because
we we eat this ship up.Yeah. I would love to watch some
garbage azz wrestling. Yeah, like, give it to us, whether it's
Cactus Jack, Terry Funk or anythingGCW, dude, go ahead and give

(37:55):
it to us all Like, we'remore than happy. But in terms of
a main stay, like a bigcompany that is on national television each and
every week, multiple times a week, and it's on a major pay per
view. Yeah, this this mighttake the cake. The only thing they

(38:15):
didn't do was fire and explosives.Yeah, and the crowd was begging for
fire. There was a we wantfire chant. I was like, don't
encourage them. Well, they wereprobably sitting there like, guys, we
love to but we actually don't havepyro. No, we saw what the
fuck happened the last time this shitwas was being done when Cody Rhades set

(38:35):
his whole back on fire. Yeah, poor bastard, But like, goddamn,
the ending of this match. Ilove this company. Yeah. Same.
The ending of this match comes inthe form of a couple of run
ins and Adam Page drives prints Nanathrough a table with love Nana. Same.

(38:58):
He dead eyes him through a table. He gets up and we all
but forget that. There is acinder block at the ring side area in
which Swerves Strickland just shatters over theback of the neck of Hangman and then
quite literally Hangman's ass on the turnbucklepost with a chain, chokes him out
and gets the ten count. AndI love how the entire time that he

(39:19):
was counting the ref was counting,Swerve just had this look in his eyes
like it was the most like evillooking grin. It's fucking awesome. It's
so weird, Like with his gimmick, it's almost like, do you get
a sense that he Okay, Swerve'sgimmick is what Jared Leto's joker looked to
kind of be in Suicide Squad.This swave gangster Letto could never no no

(39:45):
no, But you know what Imean, Like, yeah, I don't
know if that's intentional. It mightbe me reaching, but that's the vibe
I get with the long coat andthe I'm always a few steps ahead.
I've got this evil smile and laugh, you know, Like it's not that
he's doing a joker gimmick, butI look at it and I'm like,

(40:06):
if this is what the David ayercutwould have been, like, that could
have been something. I can kindof see that vibe. Maybe In the
longest match of the night, SwerveStrickland goes over Hangman Adam Page in twenty
nine minutes and fifty five seconds matchof the night. Well done, stole

(40:29):
the show. Was probably pissed offeverybody else that had to follow this,
and I know in the UH pressconference, MJF was like, fuck yeah,
so we move on. To theGolden Jets Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega
versus the Young Bucks in a tagteam match, and the stipulation is that

(40:50):
the Young Bucks are putting their tagteam championship opportunity on the line, So
if they win, the Young Buckslose that. But if the Young Bucks
win, the Golden Jets would haveto disband as a team altogether. This
is exactly what you would expect outof the four of these people. Mm
hm. You know, Chris Jerichobeing fucking Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega turning

(41:10):
it up in the back half ofthe match, the Bucks being the Bucks.
I loved it. I did too. I put this up there.
It wasn't as good, and youknow the tag match I'm talking about,
It wasn't as good as Hangman andKenny versus the Bucks. No, I
wouldn't say so, but it's upthere. In terms of like these,
this is good storytelling, right.This is, by no stretch of the

(41:36):
imagination a letdown, Like it's justlike I think, what it is,
dude, is you got to lookat the card overall. The most like
I would say, maybe crowd pleasingwould probably be the match with Darby and
Copeland and all them. You know, the best psychological match is going to

(41:59):
be the main event. The bestmatch period was the death match. This
is probably the most like I don'tknow, I don't know how to describe
it, because this is your bestcompany originals match. Yes, because I
think what I'm trying to say islike you want to say, oh,
yeah, no, this is liketop two or three matches of the night,

(42:22):
and then you look at the othermatches of the night and it's like,
fuck, what is my order?Right? But my thing is like
you look at the four of thesepeople and you know exactly what you're gonna
get, Yes, And it neitherfailed to meet those expectations nor really exceeded
them by too much. It's exactlywhat you would, you know, would

(42:43):
think that you're getting. Yeah.The ending of the match, though,
they eased a couple of times whereKenny looked like he might have been turning
on Jericho. Yes, and Ilove the moment whenever he's about to do
his v trigger right, Yeah,crowd is just like god damn it.
And you see Jericho like leaning onthe ropes like it's in his face,
like he's trying to win this andhe's like legitimately like a teammate to Kenny

(43:06):
at this point, and it isthat moment when Kenny passed him and he
fucking hits I think, Matt,where you're like, Okay, he's made
his choice now, like it's tothe point where the Bucks are letting their
egos ruin this friendship again. Whichtwo things that I want to point out.
Number one, I love that Jerichoseemed to be reacting to the crowd

(43:30):
reaction without because so often in wrestlingit's a trope, you know. It's
just like the invisible wall of thering, you know, whenever people exit
it and all that other stuff whereit seems like the wrestlers can't hear the
crowd, you know, like anytime, like there will be times where Randy

(43:51):
Orton sneaks into the ring behind somebodyand the crowd is going fucking nuts,
but nobody turns around until the momentbefore an archao, right, you know.
And I like that Jericho didn't playlike he's deaf. He could hear
them, you know, and hewas clearly thinking, oh fuck yeah,
that's and that's exactly what I wasgonna get at, dude. I loved

(44:14):
it the storytelling in the body language, the facial expressions. The story going
into this period is the Bucks werelike, oh, we don't trust Chris,
like you guys are like fought beforeand like blah blah blah. And
you know it's that Jericho and Omegaare united against Don Kallis and the Kallis
family. So after the match ends, which it ends with Kenny Omega getting

(44:35):
the pinfall for their team, theBucks throw a fit at ringside, They
break ship, they throw their shoes, like fucking hilarious because Nick Jackson threw
his goddamn shoes through the like intothe crowd. I was like, God,
he just yeeded a pair of Nikesinto the fucking dude, just Nikes,
either they are like them fucking Jay'sor whatever due or some ship those
air Maxes. I was like,yeah, damn, bro, Dude,

(44:57):
I think I saw We talked earlierabout the trip to fucking Houston. Dude.
At the Galleria, we went toa sneaker shop because I saw some
Yeezis and you know, that's likea dream shoe for me that I'll never
be able to convince myself to get. But in there we saw the Dior
Nikes that the Bucks wore in thatone match, I believe, and I

(45:20):
might be wrong. I believe itwas in the cage match with the Lucha
Brothers. Dude, those are liketwo thousand dollars shoes, I know.
But I'm just I'm fucking dying laughingto myself because like the first thought that
I had was some poor bastard comingback from the concession stands with a fucking
armful of beer and popcorn and youjust see me and he just sows the

(45:40):
fuck over. Dude, Well,with that one shoe, he can make
his money back on all those wellmaybe half of the concessions, because that
shit's expensive. But fuck man,somebody that brings us like, Bro,
where'd you get that fucking Nike hotdog? Like? How't you pay for
that Nike dog? Bro? Dude? You know what, though, I
do love that they are leaning intothe real life reputation, whether it's deserved

(46:06):
or not, the reputation of theBucks being children. I will tell you
this right now that that is exactlyhow I perceive them. Yeah, I
really do, and I hate thatI do, but my god, I
like, no, no fucking kfabe, no bullshit. That is legitimately
how I picture them see I picturethem as being kind of brad tea,

(46:29):
but I picture them more of justkind of like not paying attention. Well,
here's what I'm saying about that.Did you read their book? I
have their book, I know youhave it, But did you read it
cover to cover? Yeah? Doyou remember the booker t chapter? Yes,
where they had mentioned like, yeah, we didn't even notice that his

(46:50):
jacket was there or something. Itwas something along those lines. I can
believe that because you've seen it whereI'm not trying to be a dick,
it just wasn't paying attention. Iwas worried about whatever was going on in
my own little head, right,and then I came off looking like an
asshole to in some capacity. Andso it's like maybe they just don't have

(47:13):
that kind of like awareness. Idon't know, but what I do know
they are coming back as heels whenthey do come back, oh for sure.
And my prediction is that they willbe aligned with Don Kallas. I
didn't even think of that. Yeah, yeah, I could see it.
Fuck, yeah, that's that's that'smy prediction. Anyway, storyline's gonna hurt,

(47:37):
might not hurt as the eventual followup to the next match. We
fucking need the drama, though.I want to see story driven shit,
which AW is finally em like.Not that they never had before, but
I like that they're going leaning intothe dramatic aspect of some of these characters.
Yes, because you and I havespoke about before where it's like Tony

(48:00):
Kahn often feels like a matchmaker,not a booker. It feels like he's
starting a book that Ordy has somebodyelse in the back booking. I'm not
sure. I'm pretty sure the wrestlersthemselves that are helping to craft their storylines
with the other talent they're working with, have everything to do with it.
And moving into the AW World Championshipmatch between MJF and Jay White, which

(48:24):
the story was that at first AdamCole was going to fill in, you
know, which fucking strange that AdamCole would be allowed to go to the
ring by Tony Kahan period over thisand then not be stopped by a million
officials like m JF was. Yeah, Like I didn't. It's not that

(48:45):
it was a bad storyline per se, It's just like I kept watching it
going, wait, I'm just spendingmy I don't know about this. Now,
I will say that it adds tothe character development. Sure, so

(49:06):
I wouldn't say that. I seewhy they did it, but I understand
why. It's another layer to thestory. But I wasn't crazy about it
logic based, like you said,though, I think it was more meant
for the psychology of the match.Yeah, I get it, But if
it were up to me, Iwould have deleted that altogether and instead I

(49:30):
would have had just Adam Cole comeout period and MJF be like, you
came all this way, You're hurtthat that's gonna hinder your progress whatever,
or he could even say something likeare you supposed to be in physical therapy
and he's like, I'm not missingthis. You got this brother, you

(49:50):
know, like something like that,and I think you would have gotten the
same emotional impact with more sense.Sure that's just me, though, Well,
I mean he came out or inthe night, like during the tag
match or whatever, like he showedup during That's true, that's true,
Okay, Like he's he's he's thereason they won the tag title match earlier
than that, because he fucking showedup and distracted the guns and it's like,

(50:14):
oh, that was the surprise ofthe night that oh he's here and
blah blah blah, and but Idigress. The match itself is MJF working
with a bum leg, which alot of people on the internet were pissed
off. They were like, oh, this just didn't bear with me.
Oh this this uh diminishes Jay White. Oh, Jay White's cook, Jay
White's over. How the fuck didthey book him to lose this match?

(50:37):
He should have won. He lost. He lost to a guy with one
leg. What the fuck is thiscompany doing? Blah blah blah, And
I'm like building their champion to bea tough son of a bitch who is
not going to quit. Jay White'scharacter is that of an arrogant, smug
dick who thinks he's got this inthe bag, who at this point is
just toying with him and beating hisass. Right. However, a couple

(51:01):
of real injuries happened during this match. I did read that. Yeah,
surprisingly, it was not the cutterfrom the end to the from inside the
ring to the outside. It wasthe elbow drop to the outside. Are
you shitting me? I'm not so. The match is about. The match
is twenty nine minutes and forty fiveseconds, which MJF does go over.

(51:22):
By the way, he spoilers,there's a spot where he's supposed to elbow
drop J White through the announced desk. Well he puts j White on it
and the desk just collapses. Andthis is this is a terrible misfortune that
has befallen the Rock on many occasions. I know it's always the Rock.
Seriously, why is that? Idon't fucking know. But he puts Jay

(51:45):
on there and he falls and thenMJ's like, god damn it. So
he drags him to the front endof the debris and he gets back in
the ring, and he climbs uptop and does the spot anyway, and
he does he does the Sammy Goovarlike crazy, like loop de loop,
you know, gives him uh afucking straight elbow right into the mat on
the outside, and this is whereMJF injures his fucking hip and works supposedly

(52:13):
works the rest of the match.This way, MJF had to have his
fucking hip hop back into place afterthis match was over. Fuck, dude,
goddamn, Like that hurt to watchbecause I knew that that landing was
not pretty like it was. Itlanded well, but when I saw how

(52:36):
his body took the impact, Iwas like, oh no, no,
no, no, that's bad.But the storyline here, the psychology,
we have a couple of times whereit looks like Adam Cole almost fucked him
over by a complete accident or isit complete accident where he's looking at j

(52:57):
and he's about to clab him withthe Ring of Honor tack belt, and
then Jay's like, not fuck that, takes it from him and clocks Max
in the face with it and almostwins. But then the ref gets a
bump. Adam puts the dynamite diamondring in there. Jay White gets a
hold of it, almost wins again. MJF takes the ring, the guns
come out, they get smacked,but then MJF winds up smacking Jay with

(53:22):
it, and the ref re coversin time and he pins him. Now,
the whole time, Adam is accelebrating. You know, he's excited for
me. He's accelebrating with him,and I hate and love at the same
time. I hate that. I'mlike, oh, waiting on the other
shoot a drop. I'm waiting onAdam Cold to fuck him over real bad.
But at the same time, I'msitting here like, dude, don't

(53:44):
fuck this up. This is oneof the best stories y'all have got going
in this company right now, rightNo, I don't. I'm telling y'all
I think the time that he willdrop the title and it will all come
out will be at world end.Well I say that, did he not
kind of spill the beans that he'sin it until twenty twenty seven? He

(54:06):
did resign. He didn't necessarily spillthe beans. It just got quietly leaked
that he resigned with the company becausehe even at the press conference he was
just like, yeah, I'm youknow, I want to be here for
a long time if this motherfucker paysme enough money by the time January first
rolls around, and it's like,okay, see if that, if it
hadn't have gotten leaked. Now,I don't know if this works as well,

(54:27):
But I stand by what I saidthat have him drop the title the
night before his contract expires, anddon't say a fucking word. Let it
be quiet and let the audience findout organically, you know, like because
if he loses the title and AdamCole fucks him over. The idea would

(54:52):
be, yeah, you had onefriend and he fucked you over and you
just dipped you left. That alonewould have been a story, you know,
like, there are so many waysto do it. That's how I
would have booked it. But ifit did get leaked, then it's like,
well now it's once again we arein a limitless situation. Yeah,

(55:16):
but here's the thing. Adam Coleis injured supposedly, which I think I'm
pretty sure this is a fucking legitimateIt's not a work, it is legitimate.
Then MJF has a legitimate injury thathe's gonna be sidelined for a little
bit. You know, he's notgonna be out for months, but he's
gonna be out for weeks, youknow. So now you've got your main

(55:37):
storyline on your in your company withbum wheels, like they both got a
bum leg and what do you dowith this? My thing is if you
further progress this, you can dovignettes because I feel like if this were
to happen, which it's happening now, this gives the company an opportunity to
focus on the Continental Classic. Yeah, and like, let's let that simmer

(56:00):
for a minute. And let's letAdam Cole and MJF and this whole storyline
take place through vignettes, which isperfect now to reveal the devil, like
probably hopefully between now and World's inyou go, or the devil shows up
at world's end, because devil World'send. That would make sense to me.

(56:21):
Please God, don't let it beJungle Boy. I don't want Jack
Perry to be the fucking devil.I'm telling you right now, I believe
it is. I'd laugh my dickoff it was Britt Baker. I think
the other option would still be AdamCole, especially if he's seemingly planting traps
for MJF. Yeah, well,here's the other thing that nobody's really talking

(56:46):
about. Who are the other guys? And I strongly feel that one of
them is Kyle O'Riley mm, whichwould be fucked if it's not Adam and
it is Jack Perry, and JackPerry's like, I got your voice,
ooh ooh, Like if it wasKyle O'Riley, I'm not saying he's in

(57:14):
here, but it would be cool. Kyle O'Riley, Bobby Fish in the
Kingdom, all conspiring with Jack Perry. That would be something kind of lean
into his Hollywood roots too, Like, yeah, I paid him off.
I I wouldn't do the payoff thing. I would do where every one of
them is like, why are youfriends with Max? You turned your back

(57:36):
on all of us to be hisfriend, And then Jungle Boy would just
shut him and then fucking guy.And then Jungle Boy would just be like
Max, I don't know why you'reacting all a pissy. You told me
to do this, You told meto make these changes. You know that.

(57:58):
That's why to me, it beingJungle Boy would make the most sense.
I would be more than happy withAdam Cole. I'd be more than
happy with There's a lot of differentoptions. For all we know, it
could be somebody that we're not eventhinking of. What if it was Tony
Kahan? Oh oh, hold on, the figure is slim? The Devil

(58:22):
figure is a slim guy. Yeah, think about it. The whole Bidding
War of twenty twenty four thing?Oh fuck? Like why like you think
you think he might still have avendetta against him? You know what I'm
saying? Like he wants to gethim to lose the title before so he
doesn't fucking leave the company with thebelt. It's a whole Vince sim punk

(58:44):
move. I would love that.Now, the real question is do you
think Tony has the the social abilityto cut promos? He can snort a
line of coke and then come on, his tism is gonna be acting up.
No, maybe that's what calms it. But okay, here's what I'm

(59:07):
waiting on. Though. If itis Tony Khan and this is a fucking
long shot, you ready for this? Ok? It was me Austin.
It was like, I swear togod, it's gonna be that version.
Oh God, I know that it'sit's a long shot. I don't think

(59:27):
it is, but my god,what a swerve it would fucking be.
Nobody would expect that. I'm almostpissed that I know that it's not gonna
be that because I love that.If it's okay, I'm gonna just say
now it's not, it's I wantedit to be just for like rating's sake
and story's sake, it's not punk. The next best option, if it's

(59:51):
not see Him Punk, would beTony Khan and it would make sense.
And really the only issue would bewhere do you go from there, because
then you have to turn Tony intoan on screen character, and he has

it was It's honestly, it wasjust like a fun like, oh what
if it was this guy? Ohyeah, Yeah, It's just like you
almost have to think, Okay,then what right? But hey it would
