active promotions in our state. They run shows in different
parts of West Virginia and occasionally in Ohio, and have

(01:28):
Joining me right now is the owner and booker of RSW,
Tim Cross. How you doing, Tim?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
How you doing nice? Thanks for having me?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Hey, no problem? Yeah, yeah, I appreciate having you here.
Real quick, what this is just one question I like
to ask everybody, and it seems like a very cliche question.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
How tall are you?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I mean you could you could let us know that.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I'm short. I'm like, I'm like five to eleven.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, listen, listen ten you're saying I have eleven in
or show I'm shorter than that, so don't don't be
saying short.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I'm a chrisp for five six, So I'm.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Just I'm just around a lot of wrestlers, so I'm
used to looking up.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
That's that's very true.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I'm I'm sure you feel vertically challenged around certain especially
certain wrestlers.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Yeah, and we in fact had a we had one
come in last month and uh wrestle our Internet champion.
He was literally seven feet tall, like exactly seven foot
on the dot. And what's funny is he kind of
got there late, so no one got to see him.
And then when everybody saw him come out, it was
it was like, oh my, like, who's this Like where
(02:40):
did this guy come from from? Because, uh, because our
Internet champion is a big boy anyway. So uh so
whenever he came out and he was looking up at him,
whenever they started the ring, everybody was kind of wow.
And I got some text messages saying that, who the
heck's this guy and stuff like that. So, you know, yeah,
(03:01):
I'm definitely used to uh looking up to them, So
I understand what it's like. Man, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know, from my understanding, seven feet told you can't
teach that.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
We at least that's what we've been taught. Yeah, I
guess they taught us that you can't teach that.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yes, no, no, And and you know, I.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Don't know did we learn so did were were we
actually taught that?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I don't know. I know that now. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You're a bit of a conundrum there. We'll have to
circle back to that.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, why did chicken cross the road?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, we're still trying to figure that out. We're still
trying to figure out how many licks it takes to
get to the center of a TUTSI pop.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Which chicken or the term buckle?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
There you go. Yeah, but what real quick like what
was your first like exposure to wrestling? Have you been
a lifelong wrestling fan?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Like what got you into it?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Basically, uh, you know, I was you know, I'm from
West Virginia, the northern part of West Virginia anyway, So
you know six o five with Grandma on Saturdays was
a big thing. And then you know, Bobby the Brain
and Gorilla Monsoon on on Monday Nights was you know
(04:17):
a big thing for me too, So I actually got
you know, I had both, so I was watching both.
I had my dad was a big you know w
W F saying and my grandma was a big w
CW fan. So I was watching both all the time
basically from the from the beginning. So you know that
(04:37):
that's been mine is just basically my family probably the
easiest way to answer that, between my dad and my grandma,
that was definitely my way of getting into it visually
as a kid. So that's always been but you know,
because of it, I've always been That's why I've also
(04:59):
always been more w CW. I also remember watching w
CCW so because it would be at like four o'clock
on ESPN way back in the nineties every day. Yeah,
so I was just like zoomed to it because it
was just you know, that's where you know, you got
your first view of the free Birds and von Erics
(05:22):
and then like all the guys that later became a
big deal in other places, you know, so that was
always really cool.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, there was someone who got their start in w CCW.
His name is a Sean Hickenbottom. I don't know whatever
happened to him, but I think he became he you know,
I think he could have been good. You know, I
saw him and it could have been something.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I think I think he's doing kind of well
for hisself these days.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So w CW, who did you Who was your favorite
go to there?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Okay, so I really liked the question. Oddly enough, always
was part Anderson, Yes, he was. He was my guy.
I was always into arn and then I was always
into And this is what's funny. It is like, you know,
whenever New Japan became like a big deal, and you know,
it was like, you know, cool to like him, and
(06:16):
then it would know it was like super cool to
like him, but then it wasn't cool to like it,
but like I've always been into like Japanese wrestling in
some way, so like for me, it was my big
feuds that I remember growing up as a kid, like
in w c W that I was like always pumped
about seeing was Arn and Muda and Pilman and Liger
(06:36):
like that. Those were those were my go to feuds
when everybody else was like, yo, you know Sting's doing
this and Player's doing that, and I was just always like,
what is Arn and Pilman and Muda and Laker doing that?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You can't go wrong with double a no the the
oh yeah, the best spinebuster ever in the history of
the business, Arn Anderson. Yes.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And actually the other day I was watching an old
I was actually watching an old WCW. I sat down
and watched Russell Ward in nineteen ninety there you go on.
Uh it was on YouTube because they have the WCW
channel there now and you.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Can yeah a bunch now.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They did have like.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
A long, like a like a stream going where they
were just playing reruns, just one after the other. But
I guess they stopped it because I was getting ready
to turn into one and have it in the background
but I was like, okay, I'll turn on Wressell War
and then I see Arn come out, And sometimes I
forget how much Arn and Only look alike even though
they're they're not related in any way, shape or form.
(07:37):
They walk out, I'm like, wait a minute, I had
to take a double take.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, and also, how Arn Anderson has looked like he
was forty years old even whenever he was twenty.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, Like honestly, for him, the
dude's not aged. No, you know, in the face, he
looked the exact same.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
See I iways, remember I was always a WCW person,
Like I loved WCW more than WW. Well, let me
ask you this. Do you think it's crazy that it's
been WWE longer than it's been ww F.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah, weird hearing it like that?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Did your hip just break? Mind?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Did?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
No? But you know that weird shugar you get after
you get it, you sneeze and you feel like, oh man,
I'm going to get a cold. Yeah that's what just happened.
Don't say that again.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I'll try not to.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
But uh, but yeah, I mean, at this point, uh,
it's it's getting to there, to where it's like, yeah,
it makes sense just now, you know. But I mean
at the same time, with us being fans at our age,
I mean, look at all the stuff we've we've went
through and seen at this point. I mean, at one time,
like it's always been WW on top, but at one
(08:49):
time there was like it felt like more going on
than it does right now. Like of course you got AW,
you got you know, you got the company, but at
the same time, like it just felt more. It just
felt bigger when it was like WCW and AWA and
ww S and WA and you know that stuff. To me,
(09:13):
it just felt bigger. But you know, at the same time,
it's by it because I was a kid and I
didn't know nothing. So you know, things change once you
start to understand what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So you know, the rose colored glasses absolutely.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I was gonna say, like when I was younger, I
mean I grew up at the tail end of the
attitude era going into the ruthless aggression era, and I
thought the greatest reign was reign of terror, And then
I get older, I'm like, oh no, oh, no.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Oh, yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, unless you've
done it, you don't really realize it until you go
back and do it. You're just like, man, this I
love this stuff. This is the stuff that you know, god,
that I remember watching as a kid, and then you
go back and watch it, you're like, oh, like I
(10:04):
liked this. Like I'm like I liked you know, there
was probably one good match an episode, but the only
thing that we're keeping us there was like, you know,
who knows what's going to happen next, and you know
that kind of mentality you when you you know, when
you go back and look at it now, it's like
I should probably go back further because I'll probably like
(10:25):
it better. That's I mean, that's just with me though,
But I've always felt that, you know, being a true
wrestling fan. The attitude there was you know, the boom.
But at the same time, for wrestling itself, there was
probably about an hour worth of it that was good
every week, and there was what eight hours down hours
(10:46):
on TV.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So yeah, the attitude there was more story than substance.
Oh yeah, you know, I was, Oh yeah. The one
thing that I can say in my opinion about the
attitue who they are at least with you know, WWE,
is they tried to get everyone on the show, like
everyone was doing something.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yeah, exactly. Dean Ambrose said it best. I watched the
show where he was just like, you know, there were
just so many people back then, and there was just
you know, there was people in the back and they
just be like, you know, I got bread, you got
you got peanut butter, well, I got jelly, you want
to make some sandwiches? Like that's the best way he
put it, because it was just like faction on faction
(11:28):
on faction. It's like, yeah, this guy's in a singles match,
but each guy has three or four guys hanging out
outside the rings, you know what I mean. It's like
it's like going and see you know, little Wayne in concert,
there's twelve other people on stage. Yeah, that's basically what
it's like, because you know everybody you wanted to get
everybody on TV, and you wanted to you know that way,
(11:51):
no matter what you liked, you knew you would at
least see the guy you like. You know, I always
hated the oddities, but all of my friends they always
talk about how much they loved the oddities, like they
loved what it was, what they were, and you know,
they that was something that they watched for that was
something I went to the bathroom during, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
The saddest thing about the Oddities was that the best
one on their John Tenta Goga, never really wrestled. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah, but at the same time, I mean, was his
body even able to really wrestle with?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
You know?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
So, you know, mainly I think they were just doing
you know, a good guy a favor, you know what
I mean, which was funny if you watch that behind
you know, that dark side of the Ring, like he
he really wasn't that bad. They should have probably did
that on like the natural disasters, not so much him,
(12:45):
because like you know, that one was just like a
heartbreaking story. There was no like real dark side other
than just like the guy was yellish, crappy hand, you
know what I mean. Yeah, a buddy of mine brought
that up to me, and I was like, yeah, I know,
I felt like, out of all the people, he didn't
do anything bad. I don't really think he deserved a
dark side of the Ring in that sense compared to
(13:07):
everybody else. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Yeah, when they announced that that that that episode, I
kind of looked at it sideways. I was like, I
don't know about that. I think we even talked about
that on the show, Like that one's kind of out
of left field like that.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
I feel like that one was just more informational than
anything else because there was a whole lot of people
that were just like, heck, I didn't know that he
was a SZUMO wrestler and did all that. I think
I know he was a total you know, as they say,
he was total you know, badass. Yeah, so like you know,
and when THEE when he came over, and it made
more sense to me too, because I mean as a kid,
(13:39):
I mean, did you know where he came from? You
know what I mean other than just seeing him on
you know, WCW or WWE depending on where you saw
him mac because he was on both. But like you
didn't really know anything about him, but now you know
you do, and it's just like wow, like I could
have got behind this guy if they would have told
me this part. But they didn't tell me this part,
(14:00):
you know exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
We're here sitting talking with owner and booker of RSW,
Tim Cross. You were talking a little bit about like
how you look at it different once you're doing it.
How long have you been involved with the wrestling business.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
I'm going on nineteen years at this point some way,
shape or form involved either as someone that is wrestling
or in the back helping out, to basically being an
intern in a way and just basically doing whatever somebody
needs done, and then becoming the promoter, and then now
(14:43):
I'm well an owner, and then then it became a
situation where I've just now I have somebody else a promoter,
and I now just book here. So basically the way
it works is I book everything, but I have a
promoter in Ohio, I have a promoter here, and there's
(15:04):
there's actually two promoters in the state that I work with,
and basically it's just rsw and I book everything and
you just kind of rotate with it and they make
sure that each town gets fired and promoted.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
In So is that hard giving up promoting, like taking
a step away from that to just be the booker or.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Doing it as long as as I was. No, Really,
it's not, because it's it's it's one of those situations
where I was taught, like you do everything in house,
and you know, so you don't worry about other people
and you don't worry about you know, if you're doing it.
You know, you're getting it done the way you want
(15:45):
and done right, you know what I mean. And so
it was it was hard in the sense of like
doing it all and then getting to the point to
where I've kind of I don't want to say like army,
but built this group of of guys that's just willing
to help out around me. And it was it was
hard to kind of give up jobs, like because I
(16:08):
used to, you know, make all the flyers. Well I've
now given that to somebody else. I used to promote everything.
I have now given that to somebody else, you know,
like I'm still like the guy that does all the promos,
like I edit everything, and I'm the social media guy.
But now I've even like came out and then let
the let the group know, like, hey, like I'm gonna
need some help. Uh you know, I I'm tired of
(16:31):
dealing with social media. But now that's just made me
Once once somebody else is gets into a position, I
then rotate into something else because I just I just
want to build this as big as possible in the
sense of, you know, there's gonna be some kids that
just they're not going to be able to get to
(16:52):
even a house show in today's day and age, So like, dude,
are they going to get the Cwwe No, But can
they go to a local indie show? Yeah, So I'm
going to give them the biggest and coolest looking situation
they possibly can, Like in comparison to everybody else, Like
(17:14):
there's not a lot of people doing what we do
in the sense of the way our ring looks, the
way our production looks, our entry ways, smoke, sound lights,
the way we film stuff, the way we put out promos.
There's not a lot of people doing what we do.
And I take a lot of pride in that. I
mean there is some yes, but at the same time,
(17:35):
like it's just from it being like literally two people
to where it's now like there's a whole crew. And
we had like I was ranting rings when we first started,
and now we have two rings. We just bought a
box truck this week, so we'll make moving and moving
around stuff easier. So like it's watching this, I work
(17:58):
so hard and keep it going because I've treat this
like a touring band instead of maybe like how other
people treat it like a once a month a month promotion.
So the way we handle things. It's just we're on
the go so much. I kind of get to look
at how much we've grown because we're moving so much,
and it's sometimes like, you know, the time I've put in,
(18:21):
it's definitely panned off and the tenfold. So, you know,
because of that at this point, you know, just being
the booker after you know, giving everybody their jobs. Now,
it's weird because through past couple of shows, I've literally
just like the people I've trained to take those positions,
I've literally just been able to sit back and not
(18:43):
only watch the show, but watch them do their jobs too,
And it's just it's kind of cool. You know. It's
like being a trainer to the extent of watching you know,
your kids go out there and have a good match.
But like I'm now at the point to where I'm
watching kids put on good matches and I'm also watching
my guys back do everything they're supposed to do, because
you know, not everybody wants to be or has to
(19:05):
be a wrestler to be in this business, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, well, let me let me ask you this because
you know, on your All's YouTube channel, it says we're
not a pro wrestling company. We're a wrestling experience. Okay,
so what what are people experiencing when they go there?
You know, tell us what is what are we going into?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
It's the best, the best way to go about it
is like all all the things that you're that you
remember growing up on, or like you remember being talked about,
or you know, the good things that is. This is
just like when you go there, the ring's going to
look a certain way. It's going to be uniformed, there's
(19:48):
a logo in the middle. The entryway is going to
look a certain way. There's gonna be there's gonna be
lights that are spinning and fog going off, and the
announcer looks good. And it's instead of that whole like
you come into a building, it smells bad. The ring
looks like it's going to fall apart. There's a dog
running around, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Like sadly what you mean?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
It's yeah, I mean if you've went to any you know,
there's promotions that I used to wrestle for that I
would go, you know, I would go set up and
there'd be three or four dogs.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Just running around.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
I'm just like, what are we doing?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
And but you know that is what it is. And
you know, some people decide to to do that. But
with us, like you know, whenever you tell your buddies
about wrestling, you know, nobody really goes like, hey, man,
well you know this really crappy match happened, or oh
this these guys were really crappy and butt heads and
(20:46):
they did this, they did that. You know, you don't
ever go and talk about the bad stuff, you know
what I mean. It's like, hey, I went there and
this three hundred pounds dude diet a moon salt off
the top, and then these guys had a really good match,
and you know there was either there was this great
women's match, and you know, there was a there was
a hardcore match and stuff like that. You talk about
all the good things, well, basically we try to present
(21:09):
all those good things all at once to where it's
it's not just going and watching the pro wrestling show.
Like you it's kind of like watching the going and
watching the Savannah Bananas. It's like your experience in baseball,
but your experience all the fun parts of it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, you're you're making memories exactly.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yeah, like that, and that is basically what what I
got like what it did. Well, why I even got
into the first place for me was like, you know,
obviously there needs to be money made, but that can't
be the main focus for you know, it's kind of
those you're not going to be able to see the
(21:48):
forest from the trees because you're not going to be
able to get to where you really want to go.
You got to understand the business side of things. I mean,
obviously that's the main goal. And thankfully that where we
are and have been for a couple of years now
to where you know, this is all this is my job,
Like we do it so much that I don't have
(22:09):
time for a legit like nine to five because of
doing this so much. So I'm very thankful in that sense.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, we go ahead. We talked about you know, you
getting into this. We talked about the past, so now
kind of your future that you're doing is also respecting
the past because you've now started a Hall of fame.
So yes, what how how did this come about? You know,
your's first inaugural class consisted of Adorable Danny Ray and
(22:39):
the Urban Death Squad Spider Crawley and Johnny Blast What
is this significance of these three being your inaugural inductees
and why did you go with them?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Well, uha for for a real shoot, the way we're
doing it is we didn't want to just do one
to do one because and I'm not trying to pull
back any type of curve and hear anything, but there's
some people that do a Hall of Fames just to
sell some tickets. I mean it's kind of bull crap
(23:11):
in a sense, like they're just picking names. It's people
that's never even worked for them before, h you know,
and it's just it's weird to me. So I didn't
want to like just jump into doing it for no reason.
But after a while, I mean eight years, you know,
so we we got around to just like it got
(23:35):
to the point to where it meant something and it
wasn't just a It wasn't just just to do a thing,
you know what I mean? To me and pro wrestling,
like there's not like a legit reason to do it.
It's like why are you doing it? You know what
I mean? So for me, it was also going to
be it's people that's worked for real shoot, but it's
also people that they've put an impact not on just wrestling,
(24:01):
but like West Virginia Wrestling. To me, Danny Ray gave
me my first booking out of this area, like hearts
West Virginia, so to that will forever be grateful. And
then the amount of people that he's touched in the
(24:22):
sense of helps train the people. The person that he's
trained has trained people, like his name is on a
lot of people in West Virginia, a lot of people
in West Virginia, and not even that, it's the quality
of people in West Virginia to the Chance Profit. And
(24:42):
then Chance Profit, there's also all the people the Chance
has trained, and then there's you know, he's worked with
the likes of TJ. Phillips and Jason Kincaid and you know,
like he's the reason order for why I met Riggy
Morton for the first time. So like, you know, in
that sense, I'll forever be grateful to him, and he's
worked for us before. So I figured, you know, if
(25:05):
it's there, if this was to have any credibility, uh,
you know, he would be a definitely somebody that should
be in it. And I have the utmost respect for him,
So I couldn't see anybody else going in in that sense.
And then Urban Death Squad I wanted to put a
(25:28):
tag team in but h and they've and they've worked
for us and we're our tag team champions. But uh,
I got to work with and know Johnny Blast a
whole lot more than I did Spider Crowley. But I
also know that if you're talking tag team wrestling in
(25:48):
West Virginia, you can't not bring up Urban Deak Squad.
So definitely had a good fit there. But seeing like
in singles action, Johnny Blast was actually our first champion
for real shoot wrestling. He won it in a tournament.
So him being our first champion and him being a
(26:11):
tag champion for us and him and for him working
for us as long as he did, and him being
retired now, I figured there was no better tag team
are also individual that would fit into our Hall of
Fame than our very first champion and tag Kam champion,
(26:32):
Johnny Blast and Spider Crowley.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So this was a legitimate tournament and not like a
tournament that happened down in Rio.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Oh yeah, tournament, Uh it was. It was a holiday
Grand Prix. It was our first show first year. The
first three or four shows we did, we did without
like a champion. We just used some belts from other
companies and got their champion some exposure, and then we decided, hey,
(27:06):
we're gonna keep doing this, so it's time to get
some belts. So in January we did a tournament for
our main belt, we did a ladder match for our
mid card belt, and then we did a tag tournament
in February for our tag belts.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
All right, this Saturday, June twenty first RSW Grand Slam,
we'll be at the Gomart Ballpark in Charleston.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Bell time as seven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Front row is twenty five dollars, while general admission it's
fifteen dollars. You can get your tickets at the box
office at the ballpark or online at Dirty Birdsbaseball dot com.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
That was book booker and owner Tim Crossed.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Tim, thank you so much for coming on to the show.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Thanks you for having me. I really appreciate all the
work you guys do. It helps us out a lot,
and it doesn't go unnoticed from me. I can't speak
for everybody, but I noticed all the work you do,
and I think.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
You and now let's shift gears to one. This day
in wrestling history. June fifteenth, nineteen ninety eight, Monday Night
Raw was held in San Antonio, Texas. In the main
(28:26):
event of the show, Steve Austin and The Undertaker fought
to a no contest against Cain and Mankind in the
first ever tag team Hell in a Sale match. June fifteenth,
two thousand and four, on a taping of WWE SmackDown
in Chicago, Illinois, the Dudley Boys, Bubbare and Devon defeated
(28:46):
Charlie Haas and Rico to become the WWE SmackDown Tag
Team Champions. Later on the same show, Ray Mysterio defeated
Chava Guerrero.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Senior, not Junior, but Senior classic yes, Chavo class to.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. And finally, June fifteenth, twenty sixteen,
the taping of the TNA Impact Final Deletion Match between
Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy took place at the Hardy
Compound in Cameron, North Carolina, with the match airing on
July fifth. That was pretty much the start of the
(29:26):
cinematic cinematic match.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
It wasn't the like first ever, but it basically helped
influence pandemic stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
It did, which is it's kind of crazy to think
about that that is four years removed from the pandemic. Yeah,
because when the pandemic came around, that's kind of yeah,
that was the inspiration everybody went with, was the final deletion.
And yeah. So anyway, we are going to take a
quick break and when we come back, we're going to
talk some wrestling news and a couple other things.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Stay tenner, It's time for the grill Out. Here's Hollywood's
death pat.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the Grill Outs. I'm
your host, Hollywood, Jeff Petty, and we've had a tag, Yeah,
Jason tag Josh and our current reigning and defending Grill
Predictions Champion. Yes he is. He is our current reigning
indefending Grill Out Predictions Champion. Many times are seven seven
(30:37):
seven times lucky seven. Yeah, it's listen.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
At least you can get a defense in.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I can't save my life. Yeah. N w A has
finally announced where they're weekly programming. Power will beginning Tuesday,
July twenty ninth, the National Wrestling Alliance Weeklies program Power.
We'll begin streaming on for free on the Roku channel
(31:03):
at eight pm Eastern time in the United States. Canada
and Mexico, putting it head to head against WWE's NXT,
which airs in the US on the CW Good look, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I mean it's I didn't. I don't know where Power.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Could have landed. Yeah, I like, yeah, I really don't
know where. I don't.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
I don't see them on like an actual TV channel.
New offense to them, but.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
No, I mean, like there's a I've okay, I'm a
poor person. I have Roku TV. There is actual channels
when they're like Comedy Central, Okay, like there's Yeah, there's
actually a channel on Roku TV for anybody that is
interested that is dedicated exclusively to TNA.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Yeah, I think it was. I think they I don't
know what they call it now. They probably call it
the TNA Channel because it was the Impact Channel. But yeah,
they play a lot of like old TNA matches, like
old NWATNA, some Impact stuff, some current stuff. They're just
kind of all over the place with that. There also
used to be a channel was called the Pro Wrestling Channel,
(32:10):
but it's not on there anymore. Yeah, but Power is
going to go back on to Roku. Yeah, so that
means they're gonna there will be two destinations on Roku
for professional wrestling. Also one thing that we did not
get a chance to talk about last week WWE King
and Queen of the Rings back this past week on
(32:31):
Raw and SmackDown, the King and Queen of the Ring
tournaments began with the first round matches for each consisting
of four Fatal four way matches. The winners of those
will face off in the semi finals and then the
finals will be at Night of Champions on June twenty eighth.
Like last year, the winners will receive a World Championship
match for their respective brands at SummerSlam. Thus far, Sammy's
(32:56):
A and Randy Ort and Cody Rhoads have advanced to
the semi finals for the King of the Ring, while
Roxanne Perez, Jade Cargill and Alexa Bliss have advanced in
the Queen of the Ring. The remaining two first round
matches will take place on this week's row. The men's
Fatal four way will be between Bronson Reed, russev Seamus
and Jay Usso, while the women's will be between Ivy Now,
(33:19):
Roquel Rodriguez, Stephanie Vaiker and a returning Oscar. All four
semi final matches will then take place on this week's SmackDown,
with Sammy Zin facing Randy Orton, while Roxane Perez will
face Jade Cargill, with Cody Rhoads and Alexa Bliss facing
the respective winners from the Fatal four Ways on Role.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
So I don't mind how they did this tournament. What
I think they should have done better is had a
raw bracket and a SmackDown bracket, because how this is
set up this year, there could be two Raw finalists
facing each other. Mm, so eh, yeah, I get that.
I feel like the final should definitively be a role
versus SmackDown.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Yeah. But also they've really correct me if I'm wrong.
They have not been very hard line with the with
the different brands, have they.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
It's been a bit loose. Now where John Cena is.
You know John cen He's popping open bo shows every
now and then. Yeah, But for the most part, unless
it's like a main event guy, they for the most
part keep it suding.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Pretty firm on who's on who on who is on
whose show?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Yeah, but like last year's King Queen of the Ring,
they actually did do smack raw brackets smacking brackets who
the final was ravers a SmackDown. Yeah, but like this,
it's like, Okay, if we get to the final and
it's two raw guys, we know we're guaranteed seeing a
World Heavyweight Championship match summers with that.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, it's it.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
It then becomes two telegraphed Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So no, I get that.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
That's kind of like when they will not exactly like,
but it gives the same vibe of when uh New
Japan's G One tournament went from two brackets to four
brackets for really no good reas other than we want
to do that. I'm sure there was a good reason
behind it, but I don't have that answer. Yeah, but yeah,
(35:07):
that's kind of the vibe I get from that.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
The only thing I can think of is maybe he
trips purposely set it up that way. That way he
can open up the other championship match for another story.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
But I don't know, maybe, or I don't know, maybe
maybe it has something to do with John Cena. Yeah,
speaking of John Cena, Wabboo Doo on this past week's
episode of ww WEE Raw Seeing Punk confronted John Cena
and challenged him to a match for the undisputed WWE Championship.
Sina accepted, but only if the match happened at Night
(35:41):
of champions in Saudi Arabia, a country for which Punk
has been very critical of in the past. Punk agreed
and the match was made official. I cannot say exactly
what Punk said about Saudi Arabia on the air. Yeah,
for a variety of reasons. Yeah, but let's just say
that in the past he has been rather vocal against
(36:03):
WWE doing shows in Saudi Arabia. Yeah, so much so
that he has tweeted at certain superstars who have wrestled
in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
And john has trolled them.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Yes, Johnson is trolling them right now.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
There was on SmackDown this past Friday night.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
He was basically talking about how Johnson was talking about
how he had to use quote like punk sociopathic tendencies
or something against himself to prove to people that he's
a hypocrite. Yeah, and then like it but didn't like
you get to the point, it's like, are you guys
saying that the Saudi shows are bad and that there's
(36:42):
that there's something morally wrong with some of them? Yeah,
you know, like, where are you going with this, Like,
come on, guys, I mean, I don't. I don't. I'm
not a huge I've never been a huge fan of
the Saudi shows.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Yeah, I will say they're not as bad as like
the first couple, because they actually do mean something now
compared to the original ones.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
But still, yeah, I mean there's also but there's also
the underlying thing with them.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
But I get that's more so the country than the
show itself.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, yeah, exactly like the shows themselves. Yes, you're right,
the shows themselves have been they have.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Improved, Yeah, because at first it was basically just like
a glorified house show, yeah is all it was, with
the greatest royal rumble and whatnot. And then as the
years went on, they've they have gotten it to where
they actually mean something, and now they this is what
is this the second year they've had might have champions
in Saudi Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
The first one was in twenty three.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Okay, all right, so I thought it. This was the
second one.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
So interestingly, the King and Queen the Ring tournaments have
all been in Saudi Arabia past three, including this one.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Okay, so like that all the finals have been in
Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 7 (37:54):
That's interesting speaking of that, like kind of going on
the whole Saudi thing. They have improved with the women
because originally they were just like in T shirts and
a black bodysuit. But now they have like a bodysuit
that actually looks like ring gear.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Yeah yeah, instead of going out looking like uh, they
just have like a you know, the the green like
people use it for like green screen and stuff. Oh yeah,
the body.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah, the bodysuits with like.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
The green screen and all that. That's kind of what
it looked like. Yeah. Yeah, now they have improved a
little bit on that. Yeah. But uh but yeah, and
also like they yeah, they have like gradually gotten better
content wise, because I mean those first couple were, yeah,
we're a little on the rough side. I remember when
(38:39):
they first started and I was like, okay, don't I
don't know how I feel about this. Yeah I did
watch the first couple begrudgingly, but yeah I did. I
was like, and it's whatever had Acy Bono on there.
So yeah. But also like speaking of John Sena who
(39:01):
was attacked by Ron Killings.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Yeah, they're gonna face on smack Down this week.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
They are Yeah, okay, crazy crazy idea? What if?
Speaker 1 (39:11):
What if?
Speaker 4 (39:14):
John Cena drops de Belot, the Truth Book oft Trips,
do it you cower?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
We want truth?
Speaker 7 (39:21):
Well this one on smack On is a non title match.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Well maybe later, yeah, I know. That was one of
the crazy ideas that was being thrown around, was like,
you know what, we don't want a John Cena Hill
turn anymore. We don't want the John Cena championship run.
We want a Ron Killings championship run. It would make
him a Grand Slam, it would Okay, he's a former
world champion anyway, Yeah, why not make him a three
(39:44):
time world champion? Yeah? Yeah, like, come on, Trips, what
are you?
Speaker 7 (39:49):
What are you doing twenty four, seven, seven, eleven, thirteen, fourteen,
European Interstate whatever.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Fifty four times twenty four having champion? Yeah, Ron Killings
cut his hair as well. Yeah that it did.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Okay, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
It did age him a little bit, but he did.
And I sent you in, Uh, Jason, I think they.
I think it was on Busted Open Radio where he
he cut like a promo on I can't remember who
it was on. Me cut a promo on somebody and
it's like it's definitely not PG. We can't play it here.
But Ron Killings A lot of people write him off
(40:30):
as a comedy act because of his our Truth gimmick.
But let's be honest, Ron Killings can kill it on
the mic when he wants to. Yeah, and two and
and and I did put this up on Facebook about him,
the range that people don't realize that he has. Are
going to be surprised by this, and I think they.
(40:51):
I think it's already showing how surprised some of them
are by him because most of them know him as
our Truth, the goofy guy who says goofy, funny thing
and everything, which is one thing. But go back and
listen to some of those old TNA promos that he did.
They were top, top tier. Just cinema Wow.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Speaking of cinema.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
New Netflix series Tuesday Night Titans now nightime.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
We don't have a definitive date.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
For this, so we don't have a confirmed date for
the show, but it will be called Tuesday Night Titans.
According to Deadline dot Com, which has a synopsis that
goes as follows quote. Set in the spectacle driven world
of professional wrestling, Tuesday Night Titans follows a tenacious writer
who risked his career in the big leagues to recruit
her a strange childhood best friend, a jabber wrestler on
(41:47):
the indies, to join the same behemoth company that they
idolized in their youth. Their destinies become entangled as they
battle personal demons, ruthless colleagues, and their complicated history in
an industry where k fabe wrestling staged reality isn't confined
to the ring, but bleeds into every aspect of their lives.
(42:08):
End quote. Of course, the name Tuesday Night Titans was
a weekly television show for the WWF at the time
during the eighties, so it was it was like their
weekly television show. Pretty much.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
That sounds that sounds really interesting.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Yeah, like to take it from the aspect, and now,
obviously I believe that the way that this synopsis goes,
this is going to be a company that sort of
it sounds very wwees. They're probably not going to say
that is WWE. But she's a writer, she's you know,
they're going to this behemoth company that they idolized as children.
(42:49):
What behemoths wrestling company is they're outside of that's not WWE.
That doesn't involve like writers and stuff like.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
That I think.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
I don't know. I don't know anything else past this.
I know one of the producers.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Though I don't know.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
I don't have his name wrote down. One of the
producers is a former writer for Monday Night Raw. So
there is already that connection back to WWE. Plus, WWE
already has the working relationship with Netflix. I'm sure they
own the name Tuesday Night Titans, so maybe there was something.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
Well, you can use in media, you can use whichever
names as long as it's Yeah, I don't know, because
there's different media has exact same names.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
There's true, it's true, but.
Speaker 7 (43:37):
There's multiple movies that have like that name or whatever,
but they're different movies.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is like they're they they
may own that. Now there might be some working relationship
where they're like, okay, certainly because I think WWE. I
think Netflix is doing a couple other shows for WWE.
Speaker 7 (43:55):
I tell you what they need to do renew heels
for a third season.
Speaker 4 (43:59):
I agree.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
Yeah, have you watched it?
Speaker 4 (44:01):
I have not, do it. It's on Showtime right, No,
it's on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Netflix.
Speaker 7 (44:06):
Oh see it was on No Stars.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Okay, yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 7 (44:11):
On and then Netflix got it in there. They have
the first two seasons on there. Okay, it got canceled
on Stars, so oh okay, it's like I'm on Netflix.
Read it.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Yeah. When I uh I mentioned this the other day
to someone and they were talking about what was Ivy.
I was mentioning it to Ivy and she was like,
it's crazy how big wrestling is.
Speaker 7 (44:31):
Yeah, I mean it is it.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
It's Wrestling's all over the place. Professional wrestling is anything
and everything that you want to make it. I mean,
we just had the interview with Tim Crawls in the
previous segment Jason and I did, and he did. He
talked a little bit in there about how like with
Real Shoot Wrestling, they're not just they're not a wrestling company,
They're a wrestling experience. Yea, and that's really what you
(44:54):
get when you go to a wrestling show. Support local wrestling. Yeah,
like for real support it, go for it.
Speaker 7 (45:01):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
Yes. Finally, last name before we get to the main events.
AW Unified Championship. On the special Summer Blockbuster episode of
AW Dynamite this past week, it was revealed that the
winner takes all match between Continental Champion Kazusko Kata and
International champion Kiney Omega at all In on July twelfth,
(45:24):
will in fact be a unification match to unify the
two titles as the AW Unified Championship. According to Fightful,
a tob plans to book this as a top championship
on par with the AW World Championship and not as
a mid card title. Also, despite the Continental Championship being retired,
the Mental Classic will still continue, although it has not
(45:47):
been clarified on what the tournament winner will receive. The
belt design is inspired by both the Continental and International belt,
and it has unique outer side plates. The left one
shows Omega performing the One Winged, while they write one
shows Okada performing the rain Maker. According to The Wrestling Observer,
Tony conplaints to keep the Omega and Okada sideplights to
(46:09):
commemorate the International and Continental titles and the legacy that
Omega and Okada brought to the unification match. All right,
ballot expert, what do you think of it?
Speaker 7 (46:20):
Terrible name?
Speaker 4 (46:21):
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the name.
Speaker 7 (46:22):
Like you could use the unified in there, but like
what is it?
Speaker 1 (46:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (46:28):
Because like okay, they did the unification with the tag title.
The trios titles a while back to AW and roh
ones and they actually call it the Unified World Trios Championship,
So okay, you knew what it was. This is just
unified Championship unified.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Of what that's true?
Speaker 7 (46:42):
Like if it was for example, you know when MJF
was the world champion and cimpunk there was the real
world champion, I assumed they were going to lead to
unification match there. If they had called that the AW
Unified Championship, that would have been fine. You would have
known what that was. Yeah, but this is like, what
is it that's true? Like, let's say a year or
two from now, they keep this name. How do you
(47:05):
explain that to someone of what exactly this is in
the right rankings that's true?
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Which I'm I'm not surprised.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
That they did not go with intercontinental even though it
was it was right there.
Speaker 7 (47:17):
So I found out apparently WW trademark Intercontinental Championship. Really yeah,
back in twenty twenty, you know, see, I.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
Wonder how that plays out internationally.
Speaker 7 (47:30):
Well, that may have been why Japan retired THEIRS.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
That's what I was getting ready to say, because that's
around the time that they did change they retired their
intercontinental champions.
Speaker 7 (47:41):
Yeah, they did the following year.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
So yeah, that's when they had no, wait a minute,
hold on, I thought it was twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (47:52):
They might have done the unification match itself in twenty twenty,
but they did the actual retirement of twenty one, okay,
where they actually merged it with the heavyweight to create
the World Heavyweight.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
Yeah, okay, yeah, because they because that was around the time.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Omega was leaving.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
And he had the belt, dropped the heavyweight title to uh,
he dropped the heavyweight title to tana Hashi Tana hash
She dropped the belt to Nito. Nito's in dropped it
to Codo Aubushi. I think, yeah, I think that's right.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm wrong on that.
(48:34):
Uh it was, yeah, I think it was in twenty twenty,
and then when Coda won it in twenty twenty one,
that's when they retired it and came out with the
world title. That's what it was. So yeah, that may
that may play into it. I didn't know that they
they trademarked that.
Speaker 7 (48:49):
I didn't know until someone had posted about it. Oh wow,
I saw a random comment, Poppa. They should have called
it the Imperial Championship. That's a really good name. That wow.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
That is yeah wow.
Speaker 7 (49:02):
Yeah, that would have worked out really well.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
I think the Union, like if they still want to
keep the unified name, like maybe call it the Unified
Imperial Championship. Yeah, then after a while just dropped unified.
Just keep it on there for a little bit to
kind of show that they're unified.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
They drop it eventually.
Speaker 4 (49:17):
Yeah that man, that that sounds like a really good.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
You heard it here first, folks.
Speaker 7 (49:24):
I don't remember who commented that, but.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Yeah, good on them.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
Yeah, good on them. That is a that's a fantastic.
Speaker 7 (49:31):
Could have also went continational, have been weird, but yeah whatever.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
Yeah, yeah, listen, I've heard worse.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah, global.
Speaker 4 (49:41):
Call it. I'm sorry, the IAGP Global Championship is It's lame.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:46):
They should have never got rid of the US heavyweight title.
Speaker 5 (49:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
If anything, they should have renamed it or something.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
I don't know. The belt was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (49:56):
It didn't They did not give it time to have
a long lineage and it just Yeah. But also I
still disagree with them getting rid of the heavyweight title. Yeah,
just because of the lineage should have had.
Speaker 7 (50:05):
But they should have just renamed it.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
They should they should have kept the lineage going. Yeah,
if they wanted to rename it, fine, Now it's a
world title. Now it's considered a world title, but it
keeps the lineage of the heavyweight title. Yeah, because I
mean that's kind of how it was treated anyway. Yeah,

Speaker 5 (01:34):
How you doing nice? Thanks for having me?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Hey, no problem? Yeah, yeah, I appreciate having you here.
Real quick, what this is just one question I like
to ask everybody, and it seems like a very cliche question.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
How tall are you?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I mean you could you could let us know that.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I'm short. I'm like, I'm like five to eleven.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, listen, listen ten you're saying I have eleven in
or show I'm shorter than that, so don't don't be
saying short.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I'm a chrisp for five six, So I'm.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Just I'm just around a lot of wrestlers, so I'm
used to looking up.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
That's that's very true.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I'm I'm sure you feel vertically challenged around certain especially
certain wrestlers.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Yeah, and we in fact had a we had one
come in last month and uh wrestle our Internet champion.
He was literally seven feet tall, like exactly seven foot
on the dot. And what's funny is he kind of
got there late, so no one got to see him.
And then when everybody saw him come out, it was
it was like, oh my, like, who's this Like where
(02:40):
did this guy come from from? Because, uh, because our
Internet champion is a big boy anyway. So uh so
whenever he came out and he was looking up at him,
whenever they started the ring, everybody was kind of wow.
And I got some text messages saying that, who the
heck's this guy and stuff like that. So, you know, yeah,
(03:01):
I'm definitely used to uh looking up to them, So
I understand what it's like. Man, don't worry.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know, from my understanding, seven feet told you can't
teach that.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
We at least that's what we've been taught. Yeah, I
guess they taught us that you can't teach that.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yes, no, no, And and you know, I.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Don't know did we learn so did were were we
actually taught that?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I don't know. I know that now. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You're a bit of a conundrum there. We'll have to
circle back to that.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, why did chicken cross the road?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, we're still trying to figure that out. We're still
trying to figure out how many licks it takes to
get to the center of a TUTSI pop.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Which chicken or the term buckle?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
There you go. Yeah, but what real quick like what
was your first like exposure to wrestling? Have you been
a lifelong wrestling fan?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Like what got you into it?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Basically, uh, you know, I was you know, I'm from
West Virginia, the northern part of West Virginia anyway, So
you know six o five with Grandma on Saturdays was
a big thing. And then you know, Bobby the Brain
and Gorilla Monsoon on on Monday Nights was you know
(04:17):
a big thing for me too, So I actually got
you know, I had both, so I was watching both.
I had my dad was a big you know w
W F saying and my grandma was a big w
CW fan. So I was watching both all the time
basically from the from the beginning. So you know that
(04:37):
that's been mine is just basically my family probably the
easiest way to answer that, between my dad and my grandma,
that was definitely my way of getting into it visually
as a kid. So that's always been but you know,
because of it, I've always been That's why I've also
(04:59):
always been more w CW. I also remember watching w
CCW so because it would be at like four o'clock
on ESPN way back in the nineties every day. Yeah,
so I was just like zoomed to it because it
was just you know, that's where you know, you got
your first view of the free Birds and von Erics
(05:22):
and then like all the guys that later became a
big deal in other places, you know, so that was
always really cool.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, there was someone who got their start in w CCW.
His name is a Sean Hickenbottom. I don't know whatever
happened to him, but I think he became he you know,
I think he could have been good. You know, I
saw him and it could have been something.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I think I think he's doing kind of well
for hisself these days.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So w CW, who did you Who was your favorite
go to there?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Okay, so I really liked the question. Oddly enough, always
was part Anderson, Yes, he was. He was my guy.
I was always into arn and then I was always
into And this is what's funny. It is like, you know,
whenever New Japan became like a big deal, and you know,
it was like, you know, cool to like him, and
(06:16):
then it would know it was like super cool to
like him, but then it wasn't cool to like it,
but like I've always been into like Japanese wrestling in
some way, so like for me, it was my big
feuds that I remember growing up as a kid, like
in w c W that I was like always pumped
about seeing was Arn and Muda and Pilman and Liger
(06:36):
like that. Those were those were my go to feuds
when everybody else was like, yo, you know Sting's doing
this and Player's doing that, and I was just always like,
what is Arn and Pilman and Muda and Laker doing that?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You can't go wrong with double a no the the
oh yeah, the best spinebuster ever in the history of
the business, Arn Anderson. Yes.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And actually the other day I was watching an old
I was actually watching an old WCW. I sat down
and watched Russell Ward in nineteen ninety there you go on.
Uh it was on YouTube because they have the WCW
channel there now and you.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Can yeah a bunch now.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They did have like.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
A long, like a like a stream going where they
were just playing reruns, just one after the other. But
I guess they stopped it because I was getting ready
to turn into one and have it in the background
but I was like, okay, I'll turn on Wressell War
and then I see Arn come out, And sometimes I
forget how much Arn and Only look alike even though
they're they're not related in any way, shape or form.
(07:37):
They walk out, I'm like, wait a minute, I had
to take a double take.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, and also, how Arn Anderson has looked like he
was forty years old even whenever he was twenty.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, Like honestly, for him, the
dude's not aged. No, you know, in the face, he
looked the exact same.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
See I iways, remember I was always a WCW person,
Like I loved WCW more than WW. Well, let me
ask you this. Do you think it's crazy that it's
been WWE longer than it's been ww F.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah, weird hearing it like that?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Did your hip just break? Mind?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Did?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
No? But you know that weird shugar you get after
you get it, you sneeze and you feel like, oh man,
I'm going to get a cold. Yeah that's what just happened.
Don't say that again.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I'll try not to.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
But uh, but yeah, I mean, at this point, uh,
it's it's getting to there, to where it's like, yeah,
it makes sense just now, you know. But I mean
at the same time, with us being fans at our age,
I mean, look at all the stuff we've we've went
through and seen at this point. I mean, at one time,
like it's always been WW on top, but at one
(08:49):
time there was like it felt like more going on
than it does right now. Like of course you got AW,
you got you know, you got the company, but at
the same time, like it just felt more. It just
felt bigger when it was like WCW and AWA and
ww S and WA and you know that stuff. To me,
(09:13):
it just felt bigger. But you know, at the same time,
it's by it because I was a kid and I
didn't know nothing. So you know, things change once you
start to understand what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So you know, the rose colored glasses absolutely.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I was gonna say, like when I was younger, I
mean I grew up at the tail end of the
attitude era going into the ruthless aggression era, and I
thought the greatest reign was reign of terror, And then
I get older, I'm like, oh no, oh, no.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Oh, yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, unless you've
done it, you don't really realize it until you go
back and do it. You're just like, man, this I
love this stuff. This is the stuff that you know, god,
that I remember watching as a kid, and then you
go back and watch it, you're like, oh, like I
(10:04):
liked this. Like I'm like I liked you know, there
was probably one good match an episode, but the only
thing that we're keeping us there was like, you know,
who knows what's going to happen next, and you know
that kind of mentality you when you you know, when
you go back and look at it now, it's like
I should probably go back further because I'll probably like
(10:25):
it better. That's I mean, that's just with me though,
But I've always felt that, you know, being a true
wrestling fan. The attitude there was you know, the boom.
But at the same time, for wrestling itself, there was
probably about an hour worth of it that was good
every week, and there was what eight hours down hours
(10:46):
on TV.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So yeah, the attitude there was more story than substance.
Oh yeah, you know, I was, Oh yeah. The one
thing that I can say in my opinion about the
attitue who they are at least with you know, WWE,
is they tried to get everyone on the show, like
everyone was doing something.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yeah, exactly. Dean Ambrose said it best. I watched the
show where he was just like, you know, there were
just so many people back then, and there was just
you know, there was people in the back and they
just be like, you know, I got bread, you got
you got peanut butter, well, I got jelly, you want
to make some sandwiches? Like that's the best way he
put it, because it was just like faction on faction
(11:28):
on faction. It's like, yeah, this guy's in a singles match,
but each guy has three or four guys hanging out
outside the rings, you know what I mean. It's like
it's like going and see you know, little Wayne in concert,
there's twelve other people on stage. Yeah, that's basically what
it's like, because you know everybody you wanted to get
everybody on TV, and you wanted to you know that way,
(11:51):
no matter what you liked, you knew you would at
least see the guy you like. You know, I always
hated the oddities, but all of my friends they always
talk about how much they loved the oddities, like they
loved what it was, what they were, and you know,
they that was something that they watched for that was
something I went to the bathroom during, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
The saddest thing about the Oddities was that the best
one on their John Tenta Goga, never really wrestled. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah, but at the same time, I mean, was his
body even able to really wrestle with?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
You know?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
So, you know, mainly I think they were just doing
you know, a good guy a favor, you know what
I mean, which was funny if you watch that behind
you know, that dark side of the Ring, like he
he really wasn't that bad. They should have probably did
that on like the natural disasters, not so much him,
(12:45):
because like you know, that one was just like a
heartbreaking story. There was no like real dark side other
than just like the guy was yellish, crappy hand, you
know what I mean. Yeah, a buddy of mine brought
that up to me, and I was like, yeah, I know,
I felt like, out of all the people, he didn't
do anything bad. I don't really think he deserved a
dark side of the Ring in that sense compared to
(13:07):
everybody else. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Yeah, when they announced that that that that episode, I
kind of looked at it sideways. I was like, I
don't know about that. I think we even talked about
that on the show, Like that one's kind of out
of left field like that.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
I feel like that one was just more informational than
anything else because there was a whole lot of people
that were just like, heck, I didn't know that he
was a SZUMO wrestler and did all that. I think
I know he was a total you know, as they say,
he was total you know, badass. Yeah, so like you know,
and when THEE when he came over, and it made
more sense to me too, because I mean as a kid,
(13:39):
I mean, did you know where he came from? You
know what I mean other than just seeing him on
you know, WCW or WWE depending on where you saw
him mac because he was on both. But like you
didn't really know anything about him, but now you know
you do, and it's just like wow, like I could
have got behind this guy if they would have told
me this part. But they didn't tell me this part,
(14:00):
you know exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
We're here sitting talking with owner and booker of RSW,
Tim Cross. You were talking a little bit about like
how you look at it different once you're doing it.
How long have you been involved with the wrestling business.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
I'm going on nineteen years at this point some way,
shape or form involved either as someone that is wrestling
or in the back helping out, to basically being an
intern in a way and just basically doing whatever somebody
needs done, and then becoming the promoter, and then now
(14:43):
I'm well an owner, and then then it became a
situation where I've just now I have somebody else a promoter,
and I now just book here. So basically the way
it works is I book everything, but I have a
promoter in Ohio, I have a promoter here, and there's
(15:04):
there's actually two promoters in the state that I work with,
and basically it's just rsw and I book everything and
you just kind of rotate with it and they make
sure that each town gets fired and promoted.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
In So is that hard giving up promoting, like taking
a step away from that to just be the booker or.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Doing it as long as as I was. No, Really,
it's not, because it's it's it's one of those situations
where I was taught, like you do everything in house,
and you know, so you don't worry about other people
and you don't worry about you know, if you're doing it.
You know, you're getting it done the way you want
(15:45):
and done right, you know what I mean. And so
it was it was hard in the sense of like
doing it all and then getting to the point to
where I've kind of I don't want to say like army,
but built this group of of guys that's just willing
to help out around me. And it was it was
hard to kind of give up jobs, like because I
(16:08):
used to, you know, make all the flyers. Well I've
now given that to somebody else. I used to promote everything.
I have now given that to somebody else, you know,
like I'm still like the guy that does all the promos,
like I edit everything, and I'm the social media guy.
But now I've even like came out and then let
the let the group know, like, hey, like I'm gonna
need some help. Uh you know, I I'm tired of
(16:31):
dealing with social media. But now that's just made me
Once once somebody else is gets into a position, I
then rotate into something else because I just I just
want to build this as big as possible in the
sense of, you know, there's gonna be some kids that
just they're not going to be able to get to
(16:52):
even a house show in today's day and age, So like, dude,
are they going to get the Cwwe No, But can
they go to a local indie show? Yeah, So I'm
going to give them the biggest and coolest looking situation
they possibly can, Like in comparison to everybody else, Like
(17:14):
there's not a lot of people doing what we do
in the sense of the way our ring looks, the
way our production looks, our entry ways, smoke, sound lights,
the way we film stuff, the way we put out promos.
There's not a lot of people doing what we do.
And I take a lot of pride in that. I
mean there is some yes, but at the same time,
(17:35):
like it's just from it being like literally two people
to where it's now like there's a whole crew. And
we had like I was ranting rings when we first started,
and now we have two rings. We just bought a
box truck this week, so we'll make moving and moving
around stuff easier. So like it's watching this, I work
(17:58):
so hard and keep it going because I've treat this
like a touring band instead of maybe like how other
people treat it like a once a month a month promotion.
So the way we handle things. It's just we're on
the go so much. I kind of get to look
at how much we've grown because we're moving so much,
and it's sometimes like, you know, the time I've put in,
(18:21):
it's definitely panned off and the tenfold. So, you know,
because of that at this point, you know, just being
the booker after you know, giving everybody their jobs. Now,
it's weird because through past couple of shows, I've literally
just like the people I've trained to take those positions,
I've literally just been able to sit back and not
(18:43):
only watch the show, but watch them do their jobs too,
And it's just it's kind of cool. You know. It's
like being a trainer to the extent of watching you know,
your kids go out there and have a good match.
But like I'm now at the point to where I'm
watching kids put on good matches and I'm also watching
my guys back do everything they're supposed to do, because
you know, not everybody wants to be or has to
(19:05):
be a wrestler to be in this business, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, well, let me let me ask you this because
you know, on your All's YouTube channel, it says we're
not a pro wrestling company. We're a wrestling experience. Okay,
so what what are people experiencing when they go there?
You know, tell us what is what are we going into?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
It's the best, the best way to go about it
is like all all the things that you're that you
remember growing up on, or like you remember being talked about,
or you know, the good things that is. This is
just like when you go there, the ring's going to
look a certain way. It's going to be uniformed, there's
(19:48):
a logo in the middle. The entryway is going to
look a certain way. There's gonna be there's gonna be
lights that are spinning and fog going off, and the
announcer looks good. And it's instead of that whole like
you come into a building, it smells bad. The ring
looks like it's going to fall apart. There's a dog
running around, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Like sadly what you mean?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
It's yeah, I mean if you've went to any you know,
there's promotions that I used to wrestle for that I
would go, you know, I would go set up and
there'd be three or four dogs.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Just running around.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
I'm just like, what are we doing?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
And but you know that is what it is. And
you know, some people decide to to do that. But
with us, like you know, whenever you tell your buddies
about wrestling, you know, nobody really goes like, hey, man,
well you know this really crappy match happened, or oh
this these guys were really crappy and butt heads and
(20:46):
they did this, they did that. You know, you don't
ever go and talk about the bad stuff, you know
what I mean. It's like, hey, I went there and
this three hundred pounds dude diet a moon salt off
the top, and then these guys had a really good match,
and you know there was either there was this great
women's match, and you know, there was a there was
a hardcore match and stuff like that. You talk about
all the good things, well, basically we try to present
(21:09):
all those good things all at once to where it's
it's not just going and watching the pro wrestling show.
Like you it's kind of like watching the going and
watching the Savannah Bananas. It's like your experience in baseball,
but your experience all the fun parts of it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, you're you're making memories exactly.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yeah, like that, and that is basically what what I
got like what it did. Well, why I even got
into the first place for me was like, you know,
obviously there needs to be money made, but that can't
be the main focus for you know, it's kind of
those you're not going to be able to see the
(21:48):
forest from the trees because you're not going to be
able to get to where you really want to go.
You got to understand the business side of things. I mean,
obviously that's the main goal. And thankfully that where we
are and have been for a couple of years now
to where you know, this is all this is my job,
Like we do it so much that I don't have
(22:09):
time for a legit like nine to five because of
doing this so much. So I'm very thankful in that sense.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, we go ahead. We talked about you know, you
getting into this. We talked about the past, so now
kind of your future that you're doing is also respecting
the past because you've now started a Hall of fame.
So yes, what how how did this come about? You know,
your's first inaugural class consisted of Adorable Danny Ray and
(22:39):
the Urban Death Squad Spider Crawley and Johnny Blast What
is this significance of these three being your inaugural inductees
and why did you go with them?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Well, uha for for a real shoot, the way we're
doing it is we didn't want to just do one
to do one because and I'm not trying to pull
back any type of curve and hear anything, but there's
some people that do a Hall of Fames just to
sell some tickets. I mean it's kind of bull crap
(23:11):
in a sense, like they're just picking names. It's people
that's never even worked for them before, h you know,
and it's just it's weird to me. So I didn't
want to like just jump into doing it for no reason.
But after a while, I mean eight years, you know,
so we we got around to just like it got
(23:35):
to the point to where it meant something and it
wasn't just a It wasn't just just to do a thing,
you know what I mean? To me and pro wrestling,
like there's not like a legit reason to do it.
It's like why are you doing it? You know what
I mean? So for me, it was also going to
be it's people that's worked for real shoot, but it's
also people that they've put an impact not on just wrestling,
(24:01):
but like West Virginia Wrestling. To me, Danny Ray gave
me my first booking out of this area, like hearts
West Virginia, so to that will forever be grateful. And
then the amount of people that he's touched in the
(24:22):
sense of helps train the people. The person that he's
trained has trained people, like his name is on a
lot of people in West Virginia, a lot of people
in West Virginia, and not even that, it's the quality
of people in West Virginia to the Chance Profit. And
(24:42):
then Chance Profit, there's also all the people the Chance
has trained, and then there's you know, he's worked with
the likes of TJ. Phillips and Jason Kincaid and you know,
like he's the reason order for why I met Riggy
Morton for the first time. So like, you know, in
that sense, I'll forever be grateful to him, and he's
worked for us before. So I figured, you know, if
(25:05):
it's there, if this was to have any credibility, uh,
you know, he would be a definitely somebody that should
be in it. And I have the utmost respect for him,
So I couldn't see anybody else going in in that sense.
And then Urban Death Squad I wanted to put a
(25:28):
tag team in but h and they've and they've worked
for us and we're our tag team champions. But uh,
I got to work with and know Johnny Blast a
whole lot more than I did Spider Crowley. But I
also know that if you're talking tag team wrestling in
(25:48):
West Virginia, you can't not bring up Urban Deak Squad.
So definitely had a good fit there. But seeing like
in singles action, Johnny Blast was actually our first champion
for real shoot wrestling. He won it in a tournament.
So him being our first champion and him being a
(26:11):
tag champion for us and him and for him working
for us as long as he did, and him being
retired now, I figured there was no better tag team
are also individual that would fit into our Hall of
Fame than our very first champion and tag Kam champion,
(26:32):
Johnny Blast and Spider Crowley.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So this was a legitimate tournament and not like a
tournament that happened down in Rio.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Oh yeah, tournament, Uh it was. It was a holiday
Grand Prix. It was our first show first year. The
first three or four shows we did, we did without
like a champion. We just used some belts from other
companies and got their champion some exposure, and then we decided, hey,
(27:06):
we're gonna keep doing this, so it's time to get
some belts. So in January we did a tournament for
our main belt, we did a ladder match for our
mid card belt, and then we did a tag tournament
in February for our tag belts.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
All right, this Saturday, June twenty first RSW Grand Slam,
we'll be at the Gomart Ballpark in Charleston.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Bell time as seven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Front row is twenty five dollars, while general admission it's
fifteen dollars. You can get your tickets at the box
office at the ballpark or online at Dirty Birdsbaseball dot com.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
That was book booker and owner Tim Crossed.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Tim, thank you so much for coming on to the show.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Thanks you for having me. I really appreciate all the
work you guys do. It helps us out a lot,
and it doesn't go unnoticed from me. I can't speak
for everybody, but I noticed all the work you do,
and I think.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
You and now let's shift gears to one. This day
in wrestling history. June fifteenth, nineteen ninety eight, Monday Night
Raw was held in San Antonio, Texas. In the main
(28:26):
event of the show, Steve Austin and The Undertaker fought
to a no contest against Cain and Mankind in the
first ever tag team Hell in a Sale match. June fifteenth,
two thousand and four, on a taping of WWE SmackDown
in Chicago, Illinois, the Dudley Boys, Bubbare and Devon defeated
(28:46):
Charlie Haas and Rico to become the WWE SmackDown Tag
Team Champions. Later on the same show, Ray Mysterio defeated
Chava Guerrero.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Senior, not Junior, but Senior classic yes, Chavo class to.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. And finally, June fifteenth, twenty sixteen,
the taping of the TNA Impact Final Deletion Match between
Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy took place at the Hardy
Compound in Cameron, North Carolina, with the match airing on
July fifth. That was pretty much the start of the
(29:26):
cinematic cinematic match.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
It wasn't the like first ever, but it basically helped
influence pandemic stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
It did, which is it's kind of crazy to think
about that that is four years removed from the pandemic. Yeah,
because when the pandemic came around, that's kind of yeah,
that was the inspiration everybody went with, was the final deletion.
And yeah. So anyway, we are going to take a
quick break and when we come back, we're going to
talk some wrestling news and a couple other things.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Stay tenner, It's time for the grill Out. Here's Hollywood's
death pat.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the Grill Outs. I'm
your host, Hollywood, Jeff Petty, and we've had a tag, Yeah,
Jason tag Josh and our current reigning and defending Grill
Predictions Champion. Yes he is. He is our current reigning
indefending Grill Out Predictions Champion. Many times are seven seven
(30:37):
seven times lucky seven. Yeah, it's listen.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
At least you can get a defense in.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I can't save my life. Yeah. N w A has
finally announced where they're weekly programming. Power will beginning Tuesday,
July twenty ninth, the National Wrestling Alliance Weeklies program Power.
We'll begin streaming on for free on the Roku channel
(31:03):
at eight pm Eastern time in the United States. Canada
and Mexico, putting it head to head against WWE's NXT,
which airs in the US on the CW Good look, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I mean it's I didn't. I don't know where Power.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Could have landed. Yeah, I like, yeah, I really don't
know where. I don't.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
I don't see them on like an actual TV channel.
New offense to them, but.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
No, I mean, like there's a I've okay, I'm a
poor person. I have Roku TV. There is actual channels
when they're like Comedy Central, Okay, like there's Yeah, there's
actually a channel on Roku TV for anybody that is
interested that is dedicated exclusively to TNA.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Yeah, I think it was. I think they I don't
know what they call it now. They probably call it
the TNA Channel because it was the Impact Channel. But yeah,
they play a lot of like old TNA matches, like
old NWATNA, some Impact stuff, some current stuff. They're just
kind of all over the place with that. There also
used to be a channel was called the Pro Wrestling Channel,
(32:10):
but it's not on there anymore. Yeah, but Power is
going to go back on to Roku. Yeah, so that
means they're gonna there will be two destinations on Roku
for professional wrestling. Also one thing that we did not
get a chance to talk about last week WWE King
and Queen of the Rings back this past week on
(32:31):
Raw and SmackDown, the King and Queen of the Ring
tournaments began with the first round matches for each consisting
of four Fatal four way matches. The winners of those
will face off in the semi finals and then the
finals will be at Night of Champions on June twenty eighth.
Like last year, the winners will receive a World Championship
match for their respective brands at SummerSlam. Thus far, Sammy's
(32:56):
A and Randy Ort and Cody Rhoads have advanced to
the semi finals for the King of the Ring, while
Roxanne Perez, Jade Cargill and Alexa Bliss have advanced in
the Queen of the Ring. The remaining two first round
matches will take place on this week's row. The men's
Fatal four way will be between Bronson Reed, russev Seamus
and Jay Usso, while the women's will be between Ivy Now,
(33:19):
Roquel Rodriguez, Stephanie Vaiker and a returning Oscar. All four
semi final matches will then take place on this week's SmackDown,
with Sammy Zin facing Randy Orton, while Roxane Perez will
face Jade Cargill, with Cody Rhoads and Alexa Bliss facing
the respective winners from the Fatal four Ways on Role.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
So I don't mind how they did this tournament. What
I think they should have done better is had a
raw bracket and a SmackDown bracket, because how this is
set up this year, there could be two Raw finalists
facing each other. Mm, so eh, yeah, I get that.
I feel like the final should definitively be a role
versus SmackDown.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Yeah. But also they've really correct me if I'm wrong.
They have not been very hard line with the with
the different brands, have they.
Speaker 7 (34:10):
It's been a bit loose. Now where John Cena is.
You know John cen He's popping open bo shows every
now and then. Yeah, But for the most part, unless
it's like a main event guy, they for the most
part keep it suding.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Pretty firm on who's on who on who is on
whose show?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Yeah, but like last year's King Queen of the Ring,
they actually did do smack raw brackets smacking brackets who
the final was ravers a SmackDown. Yeah, but like this,
it's like, Okay, if we get to the final and
it's two raw guys, we know we're guaranteed seeing a
World Heavyweight Championship match summers with that.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, it's it.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
It then becomes two telegraphed Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
So no, I get that.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
That's kind of like when they will not exactly like,
but it gives the same vibe of when uh New
Japan's G One tournament went from two brackets to four
brackets for really no good reas other than we want
to do that. I'm sure there was a good reason
behind it, but I don't have that answer. Yeah, but yeah,
(35:07):
that's kind of the vibe I get from that.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
The only thing I can think of is maybe he
trips purposely set it up that way. That way he
can open up the other championship match for another story.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
But I don't know, maybe, or I don't know, maybe
maybe it has something to do with John Cena. Yeah,
speaking of John Cena, Wabboo Doo on this past week's
episode of ww WEE Raw Seeing Punk confronted John Cena
and challenged him to a match for the undisputed WWE Championship.
Sina accepted, but only if the match happened at Night
(35:41):
of champions in Saudi Arabia, a country for which Punk
has been very critical of in the past. Punk agreed
and the match was made official. I cannot say exactly
what Punk said about Saudi Arabia on the air. Yeah,
for a variety of reasons. Yeah, but let's just say
that in the past he has been rather vocal against
(36:03):
WWE doing shows in Saudi Arabia. Yeah, so much so
that he has tweeted at certain superstars who have wrestled
in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
And john has trolled them.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Yes, Johnson is trolling them right now.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
There was on SmackDown this past Friday night.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
He was basically talking about how Johnson was talking about
how he had to use quote like punk sociopathic tendencies
or something against himself to prove to people that he's
a hypocrite. Yeah, and then like it but didn't like
you get to the point, it's like, are you guys
saying that the Saudi shows are bad and that there's
(36:42):
that there's something morally wrong with some of them? Yeah,
you know, like, where are you going with this, Like,
come on, guys, I mean, I don't. I don't. I'm
not a huge I've never been a huge fan of
the Saudi shows.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Yeah, I will say they're not as bad as like
the first couple, because they actually do mean something now
compared to the original ones.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
But still, yeah, I mean there's also but there's also
the underlying thing with them.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
But I get that's more so the country than the
show itself.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, yeah, exactly like the shows themselves. Yes, you're right,
the shows themselves have been they have.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Improved, Yeah, because at first it was basically just like
a glorified house show, yeah is all it was, with
the greatest royal rumble and whatnot. And then as the
years went on, they've they have gotten it to where
they actually mean something, and now they this is what
is this the second year they've had might have champions
in Saudi Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
The first one was in twenty three.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Okay, all right, so I thought it. This was the
second one.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
So interestingly, the King and Queen the Ring tournaments have
all been in Saudi Arabia past three, including this one.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Okay, so like that all the finals have been in
Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 7 (37:54):
That's interesting speaking of that, like kind of going on
the whole Saudi thing. They have improved with the women
because originally they were just like in T shirts and
a black bodysuit. But now they have like a bodysuit
that actually looks like ring gear.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Yeah yeah, instead of going out looking like uh, they
just have like a you know, the the green like
people use it for like green screen and stuff. Oh yeah,
the body.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah, the bodysuits with like.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
The green screen and all that. That's kind of what
it looked like. Yeah. Yeah, now they have improved a
little bit on that. Yeah. But uh but yeah, and
also like they yeah, they have like gradually gotten better
content wise, because I mean those first couple were, yeah,
we're a little on the rough side. I remember when
(38:39):
they first started and I was like, okay, don't I
don't know how I feel about this. Yeah I did
watch the first couple begrudgingly, but yeah I did. I
was like, and it's whatever had Acy Bono on there.
So yeah. But also like speaking of John Sena who
(39:01):
was attacked by Ron Killings.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Yeah, they're gonna face on smack Down this week.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
They are Yeah, okay, crazy crazy idea? What if?
Speaker 1 (39:11):
What if?
Speaker 4 (39:14):
John Cena drops de Belot, the Truth Book oft Trips,
do it you cower?
Speaker 1 (39:19):
We want truth?
Speaker 7 (39:21):
Well this one on smack On is a non title match.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Well maybe later, yeah, I know. That was one of
the crazy ideas that was being thrown around, was like,
you know what, we don't want a John Cena Hill
turn anymore. We don't want the John Cena championship run.
We want a Ron Killings championship run. It would make
him a Grand Slam, it would Okay, he's a former
world champion anyway, Yeah, why not make him a three
(39:44):
time world champion? Yeah? Yeah, like, come on, Trips, what
are you?
Speaker 7 (39:49):
What are you doing twenty four, seven, seven, eleven, thirteen, fourteen,
European Interstate whatever.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Fifty four times twenty four having champion? Yeah, Ron Killings
cut his hair as well. Yeah that it did.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Okay, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
It did age him a little bit, but he did.
And I sent you in, Uh, Jason, I think they.
I think it was on Busted Open Radio where he
he cut like a promo on I can't remember who
it was on. Me cut a promo on somebody and
it's like it's definitely not PG. We can't play it here.
But Ron Killings A lot of people write him off
(40:30):
as a comedy act because of his our Truth gimmick.
But let's be honest, Ron Killings can kill it on
the mic when he wants to. Yeah, and two and
and and I did put this up on Facebook about him,
the range that people don't realize that he has. Are
going to be surprised by this, and I think they.
(40:51):
I think it's already showing how surprised some of them
are by him because most of them know him as
our Truth, the goofy guy who says goofy, funny thing
and everything, which is one thing. But go back and
listen to some of those old TNA promos that he did.
They were top, top tier. Just cinema Wow.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Speaking of cinema.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
New Netflix series Tuesday Night Titans now nightime.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
We don't have a definitive date.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
For this, so we don't have a confirmed date for
the show, but it will be called Tuesday Night Titans.
According to Deadline dot Com, which has a synopsis that
goes as follows quote. Set in the spectacle driven world
of professional wrestling, Tuesday Night Titans follows a tenacious writer
who risked his career in the big leagues to recruit
her a strange childhood best friend, a jabber wrestler on
(41:47):
the indies, to join the same behemoth company that they
idolized in their youth. Their destinies become entangled as they
battle personal demons, ruthless colleagues, and their complicated history in
an industry where k fabe wrestling staged reality isn't confined
to the ring, but bleeds into every aspect of their lives.
(42:08):
End quote. Of course, the name Tuesday Night Titans was
a weekly television show for the WWF at the time
during the eighties, so it was it was like their
weekly television show. Pretty much.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
That sounds that sounds really interesting.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Yeah, like to take it from the aspect, and now,
obviously I believe that the way that this synopsis goes,
this is going to be a company that sort of
it sounds very wwees. They're probably not going to say
that is WWE. But she's a writer, she's you know,
they're going to this behemoth company that they idolized as children.
(42:49):
What behemoths wrestling company is they're outside of that's not WWE.
That doesn't involve like writers and stuff like.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
That I think.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
I don't know. I don't know anything else past this.
I know one of the producers.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Though I don't know.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
I don't have his name wrote down. One of the
producers is a former writer for Monday Night Raw. So
there is already that connection back to WWE. Plus, WWE
already has the working relationship with Netflix. I'm sure they
own the name Tuesday Night Titans, so maybe there was something.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
Well, you can use in media, you can use whichever
names as long as it's Yeah, I don't know, because
there's different media has exact same names.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
There's true, it's true, but.
Speaker 7 (43:37):
There's multiple movies that have like that name or whatever,
but they're different movies.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is like they're they they
may own that. Now there might be some working relationship
where they're like, okay, certainly because I think WWE. I
think Netflix is doing a couple other shows for WWE.
Speaker 7 (43:55):
I tell you what they need to do renew heels
for a third season.
Speaker 4 (43:59):
I agree.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
Yeah, have you watched it?
Speaker 4 (44:01):
I have not, do it. It's on Showtime right, No,
it's on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Netflix.
Speaker 7 (44:06):
Oh see it was on No Stars.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Okay, yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 7 (44:11):
On and then Netflix got it in there. They have
the first two seasons on there. Okay, it got canceled
on Stars, so oh okay, it's like I'm on Netflix.
Read it.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Yeah. When I uh I mentioned this the other day
to someone and they were talking about what was Ivy.
I was mentioning it to Ivy and she was like,
it's crazy how big wrestling is.
Speaker 7 (44:31):
Yeah, I mean it is it.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
It's Wrestling's all over the place. Professional wrestling is anything
and everything that you want to make it. I mean,
we just had the interview with Tim Crawls in the
previous segment Jason and I did, and he did. He
talked a little bit in there about how like with
Real Shoot Wrestling, they're not just they're not a wrestling company,
They're a wrestling experience. Yea, and that's really what you
(44:54):
get when you go to a wrestling show. Support local wrestling. Yeah,
like for real support it, go for it.
Speaker 7 (45:01):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
Yes. Finally, last name before we get to the main events.
AW Unified Championship. On the special Summer Blockbuster episode of
AW Dynamite this past week, it was revealed that the
winner takes all match between Continental Champion Kazusko Kata and
International champion Kiney Omega at all In on July twelfth,
(45:24):
will in fact be a unification match to unify the
two titles as the AW Unified Championship. According to Fightful,
a tob plans to book this as a top championship
on par with the AW World Championship and not as
a mid card title. Also, despite the Continental Championship being retired,
the Mental Classic will still continue, although it has not
(45:47):
been clarified on what the tournament winner will receive. The
belt design is inspired by both the Continental and International belt,
and it has unique outer side plates. The left one
shows Omega performing the One Winged, while they write one
shows Okada performing the rain Maker. According to The Wrestling Observer,
Tony conplaints to keep the Omega and Okada sideplights to
(46:09):
commemorate the International and Continental titles and the legacy that
Omega and Okada brought to the unification match. All right,
ballot expert, what do you think of it?
Speaker 7 (46:20):
Terrible name?
Speaker 4 (46:21):
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the name.
Speaker 7 (46:22):
Like you could use the unified in there, but like
what is it?
Speaker 1 (46:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (46:28):
Because like okay, they did the unification with the tag title.
The trios titles a while back to AW and roh
ones and they actually call it the Unified World Trios Championship,
So okay, you knew what it was. This is just
unified Championship unified.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Of what that's true?
Speaker 7 (46:42):
Like if it was for example, you know when MJF
was the world champion and cimpunk there was the real
world champion, I assumed they were going to lead to
unification match there. If they had called that the AW
Unified Championship, that would have been fine. You would have
known what that was. Yeah, but this is like, what
is it that's true? Like, let's say a year or
two from now, they keep this name. How do you
(47:05):
explain that to someone of what exactly this is in
the right rankings that's true?
Speaker 1 (47:11):
Which I'm I'm not surprised.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
That they did not go with intercontinental even though it
was it was right there.
Speaker 7 (47:17):
So I found out apparently WW trademark Intercontinental Championship. Really yeah,
back in twenty twenty, you know, see, I.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
Wonder how that plays out internationally.
Speaker 7 (47:30):
Well, that may have been why Japan retired THEIRS.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
That's what I was getting ready to say, because that's
around the time that they did change they retired their
intercontinental champions.
Speaker 7 (47:41):
Yeah, they did the following year.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
So yeah, that's when they had no, wait a minute,
hold on, I thought it was twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (47:52):
They might have done the unification match itself in twenty twenty,
but they did the actual retirement of twenty one, okay,
where they actually merged it with the heavyweight to create
the World Heavyweight.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
Yeah, okay, yeah, because they because that was around the time.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Omega was leaving.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
And he had the belt, dropped the heavyweight title to uh,
he dropped the heavyweight title to tana Hashi Tana hash
She dropped the belt to Nito. Nito's in dropped it
to Codo Aubushi. I think, yeah, I think that's right.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm wrong on that.
(48:34):
Uh it was, yeah, I think it was in twenty twenty,
and then when Coda won it in twenty twenty one,
that's when they retired it and came out with the
world title. That's what it was. So yeah, that may
that may play into it. I didn't know that they
they trademarked that.
Speaker 7 (48:49):
I didn't know until someone had posted about it. Oh wow,
I saw a random comment, Poppa. They should have called
it the Imperial Championship. That's a really good name. That wow.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
That is yeah wow.
Speaker 7 (49:02):
Yeah, that would have worked out really well.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
I think the Union, like if they still want to
keep the unified name, like maybe call it the Unified
Imperial Championship. Yeah, then after a while just dropped unified.
Just keep it on there for a little bit to
kind of show that they're unified.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
They drop it eventually.
Speaker 4 (49:17):
Yeah that man, that that sounds like a really good.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
You heard it here first, folks.
Speaker 7 (49:24):
I don't remember who commented that, but.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Yeah, good on them.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
Yeah, good on them. That is a that's a fantastic.
Speaker 7 (49:31):
Could have also went continational, have been weird, but yeah whatever.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
Yeah, yeah, listen, I've heard worse.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah, global.
Speaker 4 (49:41):
Call it. I'm sorry, the IAGP Global Championship is It's lame.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:46):
They should have never got rid of the US heavyweight title.
Speaker 5 (49:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
If anything, they should have renamed it or something.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
I don't know. The belt was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (49:56):
It didn't They did not give it time to have
a long lineage and it just Yeah. But also I
still disagree with them getting rid of the heavyweight title. Yeah,
just because of the lineage should have had.
Speaker 7 (50:05):
But they should have just renamed it.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
They should they should have kept the lineage going. Yeah,
if they wanted to rename it, fine, Now it's a
world title. Now it's considered a world title, but it
keeps the lineage of the heavyweight title. Yeah, because I
mean that's kind of how it was treated anyway. Yeah,
like you know, anyway.
