Speaker 1 (00:28):
WHOA the worldwide leader of podcasting excellence, The King of
Podcasts Radio Network probably presents the wrestling It's real podcast
because wrestling Dave Zucks.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Welcome to episode nine hundred and sixty eight of The
Rescuers are podcast King of Podcasts. Here with you go good, go,
slow down, relaxed, chilled, and we can just get to
the show and do a lot of things with it.
So the AI story, I briefly touched up on it
on the post show episode for aw Russell Dream that
(01:04):
I did on Saturday last this past weekend. And now
we're roughly a month before any other significant pay reviews
that's full Gear and Survivor series at the end of
the next month. So the story about AI, now I
already know that we're already passed the whole story that
Dave Meltzer originally put out, which is what I did
(01:25):
talk about initially. Let me just go into that real
quick and make sure everybody's all caught up on that.
So I talked about the fact that rescual served with newsletter.
Dave Meltzer reported about the recent hiring NW of a
senior director of creative Strategy, Cyrus Kosari, leading the transition
into AI based storytelling and integray AI into various creative
(01:48):
and production processes. So there have been conflicting reports, So
Vivial Select then further adjusted the story and clarified things
that creative has already been using AI tools for years.
A glorified creative assistant using simple tasks looking up last
(02:09):
two times two wrestlers faced each other rather than writing
full link scripts. An employee said that AI is offering
not a starting with a blank page approach, but freeing
up time for creative staff who often worked long hours.
And then the story from reporting from restic observers saying
that early tests with an AI platform called writer ai
yielded poor results. It showed the limitations that AI has
(02:34):
right now understanding nuances, emotional depth and history required for compelling,
rest promisting storylines. I'm going to play that theory out.
I'm going to test that theory tonight on the program.
Just wait to hear what I read out to you,
just to get the idea of this, Okay. Now, Kosari's
role will be integrating AI into production video production graphics.
(02:55):
That AI will primarily help with production related tasks, removing
background noise, organs files rather than writing storylines. It's not
intended to replace the human creative team with one person
from w A top talent saying that Michael ps Hayes,
Paul hammett at Coski are not AI and that AM
(03:16):
will not be used to create storylines on its own. Well,
regardless of the creative process. Right now, it is creatively bankrupt.
We're going back to Cempunk and j us So now
for the World of aweight title because with Seth Wrong's
going out now, we have to have two new people
for the vacated World have weight title. We're not doing
(03:37):
a tournament, We're doing a Battle Royal and that's what
he decided to go and do for this after all,
whatever that is. And Cody Rhodes apparently doesn't really have
an opponent right now for his WV championship. They really
don't have anybody set up, and the same cast of
characters are gonna be putting up around. Okay, they got
(03:58):
Drew back, guitar back once again, it goes cod Roads.
Let's just keep doing some of the same stuff over
and over again. So Drew Mcatyre back up in that
main event, Ela and Knight back up on that main event.
It's the same cast of characters, older and have been
around for a long time, with not any new faces
being brought into the process, very little, if any, because
(04:19):
either bron Breaker is being brought in where he was
still going to be an after thought, not for the
next year at least was he going to break away
from the Vision, but now they've done that anyway because
of seth Wrongs his injury, they just decided to expedite it.
And that's for Jacob Faut two. Now they've written him
off an injury storyline. I didn't even know he was injured.
But he's out and the story with him and the
(04:41):
MFT is still ongoing, so he's stuck in that spot
as well. Only have he won the US title, dropping
it and that's it. And as for ju so he
has a couple of short title reigns for bron Breaker,
he had the intercontinal title twice and nothing since I
mean bron Breaker, anybody else not being brought up to
(05:02):
that title level, No, because they wouldn't. Away's going to
go to that red level yet. So the question is
we can get to a point where these older stars
do not have to be the focus. This is the
kind of thought when Kevin Nash, Eric Beschoff and Hulk
Covid would have thinking right, so that Lex Luger stayed
on top, So Scott Steiner stayed on top, So Randy
(05:23):
Savage and Rick Flair and Hoe and Roddy Piper and
all these others would stay on top. The older older
stars mean andwhile the cruiser weights, as some of the
middleweight stars, they would never get a look at Jericho
Benoa Guerrero. You wouldn't see them get up front. And
if there was somebody that was gonna be brought to
them the mix DDP, who's an older guy anyway, So
(05:44):
like in that kind of same vein, that is how
it is. D DP is like what La Knight is
today in that same kind of vein. Older star, but
you're making something big of him and he becomes a sensation.
Ddpeople was the same way like that, but he was
already in the later part of his lead, coming in
as a wrestler from a manager. And now you get
(06:05):
to this point and like, Okay, you got all these
same stars at the very top, and some of the
other stars that are already super over, you're diminishing their value.
Roman Reigns should not be in some feud with brass
and Ree where he loses twice. No, no, and you
want to keep seth Rawn's at the very top like
(06:25):
he's got some creative control because Paul Ham is up
there and he has the control over that. It just
doesn't work. My deal is what AW did with their
foundational pillars. They've let that move into the forefront. You know,
it was a couple of years ago that with all
the major stars that they had, one thing that Tony
Kahn I did appreciate was making Orange Cassidy, MJF. Darby,
(06:50):
Allen Jack, Perry, probably some other names in the mix.
You could say Ricky Stars was in there. You could
say that, you know, Sammy Gavarro was in there. Some
young faces in here that we've seen in aw that
they started putting more to the forefront and where they
were being positioned. And some of the older stars, Chris Jericho,
(07:10):
CM Punk, Brian Danielson, you know, you would see them,
John Moxley, you would see them working with these stars,
Can Omega, all these younger stars would be mixed in
with the veterans. But we're not getting there. We're getting
veterans on veterans and there's not even a ceiling where
the stars are now stuck in storylines that are meaningless
(07:33):
on the main roster. No, they're being pushed sideways into
this developmental thing that is NXT and A that I've
called it, that conglomeration, and they're not being moved up.
And anybody that does get moved up, are they really
doing anything with them so far? I mean, okay, you
could say that we've had some call ups with Carmelo
(07:56):
Hayes or you know, now Eli druggon Off has once
again a US champion. Okay, but then it's like then
you gotta ask yourself, like, Okay, the women's side, they
have a lot of younger talent, that is there a
lot of fresher talent. The women's side is always much
more about refresher talent, So for Ria Ripley or Osca
(08:20):
or the Women's Revolution, going back to Charlotte Flair and
Natty Becky, Lynch Bailey, Nikki Bella, you know, Alexa Bliss,
Charlotte Flair, and then you now have the fresher talent
that's coming in with Jake Cargill, Stefana a Care, Julia
Tivioty Stratton, Lyra Virkiia, Lyra val Curia. I always say,
(08:44):
are wrong. It does either which way. But there is
a freshness of talent that does get recirculated among the
women's division. But they need more character development. Okay, you
want to get behind Stefanyo have a Care, Let's do
something more with her. I mean more than just the
horns and just the entrance that's there. Can't just be
an entrance and a tagline La Brimetta that is encompassing
(09:08):
who the star is. That doesn't work. You need more
than an entrance and a tagline. Okay, it just can't
be that, But that is what character development is right now.
In this current state of debris, in this creative, bankrupt
state that they're in right now, they need a reboot
the stars are already there. They need their own foundational
(09:32):
pillars on the men's side, because that's the focus that
gets more than the women's side, all due respect the
men's side. You have stars that already could be positioned
right now. They do not need to weight Okay, there
is no thought process from the fans for sure, and
for fans for like myself, where I see some of
(09:52):
the stars are going to bring out the four pillars
that I think are very important. They're not gonna be green,
and they're not gonna be in capable of taking the
task on of being a main inventor. Okay, there are
four names I believe absolutely could be the pillars right
now in this company on the main end. And that's
not dismissing Johnson and his retirement to it. That's not
(10:17):
dismissing Cody Rhodes or CM punk or Seth Wrong's or
La Knight or the usso's or anybody else okay, or
Drew McIntyre. Weren't those are the stars been in their
stars for a long time and they've constantly been up there.
So a refreshing where you need to inject some of
(10:37):
these younger stars that are getting over by themselves. There's
not been that much help they've gotten from the creative side,
not really. The four names are Dominant, Exterior, Trick, Williams,
Jacoboto and Brown Breaker, those four. This is going back
(11:00):
to the same initial concept that they had after the
Attitude era OVW. You basically had four stars. You absolutely
were gonna build your brand around John Cena, Randy Orton,
brock lesn Da Batista, and there were others that were
gonna fall along. But those are the four main event stars,
and they all became iniventors and now right all former champions,
(11:24):
and they had long runs within the company, even though
brock Ozer might have been away for a while, but
he did come back, but he's been around for over
ten years now still. And it doesn't mean that we
don't have to have part timers like aj Lee or
Brock coming back or whatever else. It doesn't mean we
can't have I mean, the thing is what CM punk
(11:45):
was doing in AW, working with the younger stars like
a Darby Allen or Sami Gavarro and going into that
and MJFF that was the right move. That's why I
always liked what Siampunk's run in AW was because he
was him at the Young Town and when Christia go
the same thing, j Orange Cassidy, that's what you do,
did you Garcia fight? All these things you're doing right
(12:06):
now trying to build other stars up for the ranks.
I like all that. It's great, Brian Daniels in the
same way. I just think that you could be doing
at John Moxley. The same thing goes here. You could
be doing more right now where there is this young
talent that you already have that is over. Okay, those
four names dominant mysterio, dominant mysterio, Trick Williams, Trick Williams,
(12:29):
Jacob fou Tou Brown, Breaker, they're all over. They are
over with the crowd now. They don't have the Eat chant,
they don't have the chant of Seth Rawls's song. They
don't have CM Punk's you know, a song with Carl
the personality. No, they don't have any of that, and
it's not necessary. Trick has whooped that Trick immediately goes
(12:52):
in that main roster. I think people will actually catch on.
Jacob Fou two is working the ring, his cutting promos.
He's in Breaker. Let him be with his family out
there to prop him up. Let him be a Steiner.
It's in his blood, it is in his DNA. For Mysterio,
(13:13):
there's so much upside to him, it's ridiculous an international star.
Look what he's gonna doing in Triple A so far.
And I mean, just those four names right there automatically.
Tell me, man, you put those four right there at
the very top. You get them front and center into
major storylines and main event. And by the way, I
(13:34):
used AI to go ahead and individually go after these
four stars and what they could be doing. And here's
what I did. I used Google Gemini for this, no
chat GVT. I used Google Gemini, and I asked the
question of this, write me several storylines for the following
four superstars, and how they can be incorporated into the
main event, into the main roster, into storylines to where
(14:00):
they end up being Worldweight Champion or WWE Champion. Include
possible character development to make them more popular to a
mainstream audience. There you go. So of the four names,
we go right to dominant Mysterio first, and they give
this so the desired character development from dirty dom cowardly
(14:21):
heel to the exiled prince, vindictive, self sufficient heel. They
could go to that direction right now. Dominant Asterio could
go to a face right now, but it's not time yet.
But it's time for having to break off and do warm.
So here's what they're saying about the mainstream mainstream appeal focus.
Dominic is already over, but its long term appeal applies
(14:41):
and proving he's more than just Raim Asterio's son or
Riho Ripley's subordinate. He must have a vindictive ambition and
entering effectedness without relying entirely on the numbers game. You're
kind of starting to see that a little bit now.
So the first thing that happens is it's time to
break him away from the Judgment Day done as the
(15:03):
IC title reign he has continues and his rein is
Mega Champion inter Bla. There are cracks showing as a Judgment
Day Finn bal are growing tired of Dom getting many
opportunities based on this heat. If you had that going on,
let's just get to the point of the fiction coming
to fruition. Let's have Dom and Finn have a feud
where the Judgment Day start attacking and the double cross hums. There.
(15:26):
I guess they can do it right, now because they
already deal with the vision. They can't just replicate it
right overnight. But it's been a long time for this.
We also have to wait what happens with Live Morgan
returning and see what she does to create problems within
because then what will happen to is it roxs Emperis
and Live Morgan. Obviously it'll be some kind of friction
between them, and so all this will come into a
(15:47):
complete dissolving of the Judgment day. That's what can happen.
So here's what the IA says. So on a paper view,
Dominic is accidentally the reason that if you're saying fin
Baller loses a critical match, which has been done before,
but still something happens where this is the last straw
(16:07):
that fin Baller gets screwed. Okay, the falling on a raw,
an intervention is scheduled. Dom is finally made a liability,
not a member, and he is exiled. He's kicked out,
and then Dom gets removed from the group. He gets attacked.
There could just be some kind of double cross, whatever
it is, but Dom is exiled from the Judgment day.
(16:30):
He is excommunicated, But then Dom, you could have him
holding onto the icy title, and now once the Judgment
Day is gone from his rear view mirror, dom will
be cheered because I think what Dominic needs to do
is he needs to break off and be the one
that vocally pushes back on the Judgment Day and says,
(16:53):
I don't need to be with you guys anymore, and
they get pissed because that's the one leverage they had left,
so I think, but it really works on this particular
AI scenario is that Dominict needs to go ahead and
finally show some stones and break off and be done,
because the truth is the Judgment Day means nothing without
him there, and all the respect will live Morgan. You know,
(17:15):
we'll see if she holds things up when she comes back,
but that's again fantasy booking. Right then, throughout the next year,
you have him cutting sharp short promos without Judgment Day's approval,
no longer focusing on Ray for his anger, but the
entire system that relies on validation from others, and he can,
(17:39):
you know, not become dirty domintmore. He becomes something else.
But you transitioned him off of that, the dirty is
still going to be in him because he's still going
to be a tweeter. Okay, he will never be completely
away from his heel status as he is, but he's
been this for a long time now, for what four years,
he's been doing this for a while or three years,
but either which way, and then by did you get
(18:04):
to a WrestleMania where you have him get into the
Royal Rumble, make the final four and he wins the Rumble,
gets the title shot, and then you let him win
the World Heavyweight title and go for it and there
we go. I mean, to finally get him to that point.
(18:28):
I mean, something could happen where the Icy title gets
dropped before then, but I think what you do is
he eventually needs to be winning a Royal Rumble to
get into WrestleMania and then world win World Heavyweight title,
whichever title it is by that point. So that's dominant Stereo.
That's one next trick Williams and with him solidify his
(18:53):
main event mentality. He needs to be a credible, elite
level babyface. So put him back as a fifth once
again after he broke off with camaral O Hayes.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Go for that.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The entrance the tagline he's already got, but now more
Hunter energy, performances and more emotional payoff. What he needs
to be is more like a Rock cocky, but we
need to go and do more to the persona where
it's not just a replication of the Rock but something
more of cocky, self centered, and you make him more
(19:31):
of a face that is with an attitude and give
him some things where he actually says something to cajole
or put down opponents that become part of his whole
point and people just get into it what the Rock
would say, Okay, something like that would actually have to happen, Like,
you give him that, and then you add on to
(19:52):
things where he has more things in the promo to
going cut. So he should be in a storyline where
he immediately comes into the main event storyline where after
a title win, say as Cody Rose or somebody else,
and then you have lights go out or something that
happens where the match is over, big victory for the
(20:13):
champion and Trick Williams comes out the confront and then
what you do is you basically make it where it's
a veteran that's going to go after this cocky young
star that has only been in the only been around
for four years doing his thing and then moving forward.
But Trick Williams absolutely not be in TNA right now.
Put him in that main event and I would say,
(20:35):
you can put him into with the Cody Rose right
now and get him into a program. And Cody is like,
I'm gonna try to mention you, put you in your place,
and Trick has none of it, and he shows that
he's the franchise of the company. He's going to become
the franchise, the franchise player. Like basically I'm making like
that it should be something in that same vein. Get
(20:59):
rid of the n thing, the whole TEENA thing is like,
he's been everywhere else but the main roster. It's time
to go and put him in a spot. Well, a
Trick Williams, you give him money in the bank, he
should be able to get a title shot through money
the bank and then he's chasing for it. It's take
him a long time to get to it. But that's
(21:20):
what you do with him, is you get him up
to the briefcase. I can see him absolutely going out there,
flashing away with a stylish briefcase and you know he's
all about money. It's like, okay, then Joe m flashy,
show him where he's like, you know the status that
(21:41):
he has, and accessorize what he's holding on to. So
he says in there, but also you don't have him
lose when he has that case unlike other people, he
needs to be on a winning streak. It should be
doing like that. You cash him in. I'll say your
summer slam or same amount as you don't you making
(22:05):
the money to make cashion, but then you don't make
it right away. You move them a little bit for
it something like that, and I should is with trick
Williams use his athleticism. Shaan was more as an athlete. Okay,
he was a football guy, and like just there's something
more of the athletic sense you could be doing with
him where he doesn't have to come out like in
a flashy thinks like you can just come out in
a jumper, Like it's something that's more athletic where he's
(22:27):
coming out there in warm ups something more to him,
Like you could even just do warm of ups that
go into a particular style of his, like he should
have a fashion sense that creates his own fashion. And
played that up because I could totally see him doing
like a warm up, kind of filter it and then
just go off. And you know, one of the things
that you can also do with trick is you could
(22:49):
give him a valet that he goes along with it,
you know, and honestly, you bring Colonia up with him,
make them an item, do something more with that. And
then she goes on and splits away into the picture
of the women's division. And you already bring her up
because she doesn't need me in NXTNTN anymore. Anyway, they
can move her up already. She's already won multiple titles.
(23:10):
Let's move her up next. Wait, I just lost my
spot here because I had it up here. Now I
have to go back and find it. So give me
just a second as I go and pull this back up.
The next stame on my list is going to be
(23:34):
Jacob Fatu. This is easy listen for him. We already
had the MLW blueprint with him to where he was
the simone werewolf back over there, okay, and then his
deal with Contra. You had him coming out and someone
(23:57):
look looking like Omaga out there, and the stuff he
was able to go and do. I don't care about
him being all in black in here, and just like
more of a gangster kind of thing. I prefer much
better looking more like an umaga where he is coming
out there with the Samoan garb and hair wild is
(24:17):
any and he just looks out there like a savage. Okay,
from the bloodline savage to the unchained en forcer, an
anti hero driven by personal vengeance and coming to true
simone excellence. He's the solo bloodline member left. He's the
last member of that of a blood line that is
truly Samoan, and you play up to the fact of
(24:39):
him again unmatched intensity, explosive violence. He needs to go
ahead and be able to whip the blood Line all together.
He should not be losing to them. He should have
it where the blood Line is completely the new MFT.
He should wipe them out. The MFT should not be
even to be a storyline them against Wyat six. Come on,
(25:01):
come on, about two should have already gone taken over
this team and just wipe him out. That's what it
should have been. That he could personally one man handle
that whole crew at any time, and THEFT should be
trying to go and do whatever they can to try
to stop Jacob out too. But he's an unstoppable machine
(25:23):
and make it where that guy can't lose to any
of those guys, and you can do things where you
can make a gauntlet match, you can do something else
where he's on a you know, handicap matches. I mean,
why isn't Jacobo doing handicap matches either with the MFT
he could have been doing all that and then just
moving forward. The fault of Jacob out two coming up
(25:48):
and confronting Cody Roads on that back down side to
go after the w championship would have been great, but
they never went that far. And even Jacob Outo could
be someone that could be a row winner at some point,
no reason why he shouldn't. But make him when he
(26:09):
comes back from injury, have him wipe out the MFT
just he can. Just he puts that behind him and
that will be enough. That will be more than plenty
to go and show that he is put behind here.
He's refined professional hyper focus, treats every match like a conquest,
and we don't need to go ahead and get him
(26:29):
onto the you know, like the know what I mean
kind of stuff like let's move them along, let's move
along the talk, because that was what he was talking like.
He was with the MFT, and you know, let's just
change up jacob ot to more because he has much
more to say. They limit his promos so much. He's
(26:50):
got a lot more to say, and he's got a
lot more to work off of. I mean just MLW
just had a different style with him and it worked.
And don't forget two was a great champion over there.
Healed one that I built what was it for three
hundred and some odd days, like he yelled at almost
a year, right, he was great as a champion, excellent,
wondered a Saturday night, was superwight, I remember that. And
(27:13):
he had great feuds, you know, fighting against Contrey itself,
against mad s Krueger and a Kia Kawan and all
that stuff, right, and going against Joseph Semeio like all
that stuff the contry unit. Same idea here with the MFT.
Just Jacobatu needs to decimate the country unit like he
(27:36):
did them. He needs to do the same thing with MFT.
It's what worked at MLW. Do the same thing over here.
Next up bron Breaker, and you know what, they obviously
see a chance for them to being him being a
cornerstone of the company is very obvious.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
To that.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
So him right now, Okay, we need to break him away,
not just what he with Seth Wrong's, but he's a
breakaway from the vision like no more Paul Hayman, no
more Bronson read. But he should be off of that
and be solo. And the truth is what I'd like
to go and see is it's where like to see
Uncle Scott come in and he starts talking with Braun
(28:19):
to get him away from Paul Hamon and let Scott
be in the ring to go and just kind of
just put it on and like you know, Scott gets
attacked say it by Bronson read or whatever, and like
here we go, Bron Breaker goes face. You know, it
doesn't matter, man, He's gonna get a responsible matter what.
But he finds his own voice, like he's not gonna
(28:42):
be able to control Paul Hayman like he thinks he's
doing right now after he got Seth Wrongs taken out.
That's the part we gotta figure out. Okay, he needs
to realize that. Bron needs to realize that he's being
held back by Paul Hayman and that's us the whole time,
and that's the reason he needs to go to break
up for the vision in the first place. He's being
(29:04):
held back no matter if Seth is there or not.
Seth wasn't just the problem. Paul Hamm is the problem
because he got bought into something that wasn't working and
he gets out there independent dominator and he should be
going after his chance at I don't know the icy thought.
Also once he something, he does again, but I think
(29:29):
he needs to be going after a world heavyweight championship
as well. I mean, listen as we get to see
him Punk and jay Uso, whichever one wins coming up
Saturday min event. Then let's just go ahead, get to
the point where make bron Breaker the next opponent. No
La and Night anybody else, bron Breaker is next opponent.
(29:50):
He's no one can tender for the world heavyweight title
among the winner the new champion crowned at Saturday Nights
min event. Just go for that right now, don't even
wait and just do it. Those are the four pillars,
four cornerstones right now to rebuild this company, to reboot it.
(30:16):
And you have these four stars that have not been
screwed over. Okay, remember that was the one thing when
he started, when became a VINCC man, with some of
these gimmicks and some things that he would do, he
would tarnish a character, and it took a lot for
them to go and come over to go and change. Okay,
when you think about what Drew Backusar had going do
to finally make himself who he is now, he had
to go away for a while TNA and then come back.
(30:39):
Bobby Lashley the same thing Goes brought him back. Tody
Rhodes was away and then he came back and another
life for him, right, And just those kinds of things
where you have don't had more people that have the
chip on their shoulders. They're being brought in because remember
anybody else is coming from AW or TNA or whatever else.
(30:59):
They're just thing outside of there. Either you're an NXT
or they're somewhere from NXT into DNA. Like this thing is,
you have stars that are not gonna go ahead and
get pushed into any other space right now, that's not
gonna happen. No, So that's where they're gonna leave things.
But that's AI give me the idea. And the thing is,
(31:20):
I'm thinking what AI says here, there are mistakes within
this that's been clear of that Okay, they're still including
storylines that are not even part of things anymore. Or
take about the bloodline and things where they you know,
there's a lot of parts that do not compute, that
(31:42):
are essentially incorrect. But you can take what they have
here and then go towards the storyline and go into
a different direction. But the thing is too is you
can also take so many stars and put them in
storylines with some stars that have already been a main event.
Like right now, Sammy Zaye open Challenge to go ahead
and put Ilia dragonof over. We need to see what
(32:04):
he's in a go and start taking Listen, he's such
a main event star right now because of how he's
been pushed to the moon. It's time to go and
have him start taking some losses and start putting over
some talent because he needs to go to do some
enhancement talent. He should be doing that personally, that's my opinion.
That's so other stars that are in here as well
(32:25):
should start be doing some working and helping to enhance stars.
I mean, think about like this when it comes to
aj Styles, what he's done over the years of Randy
Orton and who he's worked with, they've played along to
go and work with other people. There's a few things
(32:46):
I want to get into that came up throughout all
my searchy around on acts for the last week or
so that I wanted to go and bring up now
that I thought we couldn't go and just go through
real quickly, so go make a week could go. There
was Blake Monroe that actually originently spoke to the Ring
a wrestling show, and when she was asked about why
(33:07):
she joined NXT instead of the main roster, very ambassadorial
answers she did. But the thing is, Blake Monroe, after
her running aw could have absolutely been in the main roster.
But here's what she decided to go and say, very
well crafted what she did. NXC has got the highest
viewsual of any show I've been on, and I think
(33:28):
you have to consider as well. W is so huge,
So trying to go ahead and qualify the fact that
NXT's as important a brand, or even more important than
the main roster is interesting. Amount of TV equity they
have of Bionica Blair, Rea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, they have
millions of followers. All this team equity, I can go.
I know, I can go toe to total with them.
But I feel like, why when't I go to the
(33:48):
NXC ball Wait, Beyoncable, their Rea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, They're
kind of like afterthoughts right now. They're not necessarily Beonica.
It has not been on TV in a while, right
Charlotta Flair is out doing tag team work with Alexa Bliss.
I'll spack and I read reply. I mean, she's been
hurt a little bit and she's been out there, but
she's also her character has been like kind of putting
the backdrop as well. Not in a major focus right
now anyway, not for a while. Continue to build my brand,
(34:12):
couse you to introduce the universe. Who may know me,
Probably don't. I don't think any of these kids would
know me or anything. Tell them who I am. And
also make NXT my brand because I truly feel like
I'm doing that and I can do that well. I
wanted to take that opportunity build myself in, use the
resources Bill Tuck to Shawn Michaels and Matt Blum and
all these amazing coaches, learn and grow. So when I
do go to the main roster, I've been going against
(34:34):
these Juggernauts, I really have the best chance possible to
succeed because they are a huge star. So I've got
to build myself a little all right. It makes her
sound like she's been sitting there for a while. She's
not like any of her accomplishments as she's done outside
of the company is not there. Okay, come on, now,
she's twenty seven years old, but she has been working
(35:00):
since twenty nineteen. Is Maria may relation pro wrestling stardom?
Two years in el Eite Wrestling? Okay, Artie was on
NXT UK in twenty nineteen. I mean, she's got a
lot of time in her career and when in AW,
(35:23):
I think they definitely made her get a chance to
finally show that she was made of material, and she was.
But because of the animosity that the w has for
anybody that's AW, I mean, she's even downplaying the fact
that her career over there wasn't as important because that's
(35:43):
where she's now on NXT because that's where she's supposed
to be, that's the pecking order, and that she doesn't
think that she has the equity yet to be working
with Bianca or Ria or Charlotte Interesting. I disagree with her.
I think she should see herself as much higher up,
because why would Stevitevi care who, you know, if I
(36:11):
need to go and look at stevanevit care Okay, thirty
three years old, a little bit longer in the career, okay,
But either which way, she started wrestling at age fifteen,
two thousand and nine. But again, I mean that's in Mexico,
you know, you know, when it comes to Latin America, Yeah,
you do start early in Mexico, but it's also just
(36:33):
a different culture, different way. Okay. But when I started
seeing anything about her being on the map, it would
have been in CMLL twenty nineteen, and she was there
for a long time and then knew Japan and start
on with code calling for her rather at the same
time that Maria May was there right or known before that,
(36:57):
and then read pro Wrestling and then NXT and twenty
twenty four. But the thing is that, I mean she
also went into NXT as well, but like she didn't
have to last long over there. They obviously said, well,
somebody got a liking to her immediately and just moved
her right on up. Because it took her less than
(37:20):
a year to make that main roster and just like that,
by the moral day of this year, she's already been
on the brand. She's been there five months. And look
at how much time to give her, and look at
how much they've already thought about her so far. A
big deal.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
There was some talk last week, they're talking about that
there were gonna be calls from NXT and s backdown
expected to take place in were other than later. That's
why I saw Rukuld went up there and a few
other names that have already come on up to help
with some of the injuries that have already been on
that roster. Report from over the weekend that seth Rawlins's
shoulder injury will keep him out at least six months.
(37:57):
And Rawlins was not only planning to defend his world
title at Saturday Nights to an event I'll send to
the first versuving November first. He was also sceded to
be the captain of the War Games team as Survivor Series.
I guess the team lived by Roman Rains, where there
will be a big showdown between Ronalds and Rains. The
world title at wrestl WHINNY forty two. The match she
could have done two years ago, but they didn't, so
(38:22):
now seth as the leaguers the title. But according to
a report that we had here at one point was
who would be world heavyweight Chimbe coming up? The names
who are being looked at were brown Breaker, seeing Punk
of Roman Rains. Well, we know it's not gonna be
that seeing Punk's one of them, but Desi's gonna be
jay Uso. So we got that in a battle royal
of all things. I'm still not over the fact of
(38:48):
how the NFT now have face paint and how they're
supposed to make them more menacing because they are. It's bad.
But let's just go and get into it real quick,
where Solicicoa has to trying to make himself stay strong
and what doesn't look very promising.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Did you all forget? I said, did you all forget?
Let me remind you think mft's run SmackDown. They are
(39:23):
going to get back everything that my family has lost,
and I will make my family treat champions again.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
With that face paint. No Solza is anchored, just like
Dominic Mysterio is anchored. And I already said this earlier
this year. Nothing has changed, Nothing at all has changed.
In that whole setup.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Bell of the.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Battle Royal that the debt he had for the World
Headway title to can find attenders now. At first check,
I think it was overnight it only had nineteen thousand
had nineteen thousand dislikes. I have not looked at what
it has now at this point, but let's just take
a look just for the fun of it and see
(40:15):
how far they have gotten with that, because that would
be very interesting. Overall, the Battle Royal it doesn't show
many dislikes it is, and I wish it would show
me what dislikes were, but I don't know. But there
(40:37):
have been some bad comments on here. Let me tell
you this. One person writing tin dollar ad Styles l
Knight could have all been five star matches against Punk
and still we got five minutes yeat, three super gigs
and half a spear and a frog splash. You can
seehip Punk for the vacant world title. Another one This
feels worse when you remember that CM punk may have something.
Number one contenter Penning aj Uso. Another person writes what
(41:01):
we wanted Cmpunk versus Elien Knight, What we would have
expected to see in Punk versus aj Styles, What we
would have been all night with cmpunk versus Dominant Masterio
what we didn't want cmpunk versus j USO of the person,
Vince forcing rooming down everyone's strokes, Triple H doing the
same thing with j Uso. Yep, yep. And there's one
(41:25):
last thing I'll bring up in here into the mix.
Someone writing about saying the following, It's really scary to
think how desola the we main events seen is going
to be with the next five years. This is real,
like you know, black pilling right now of this person
here on X John c to leaving CM punk the
same age as Hulk Cogan and the last year a
(41:46):
W CW Cody Rose Roman arrange for forty l A
Knight's forty AJ Styles is retiring and Andy Wharton is retiring.
Seth Rollins can't stay healthy. Kevin Owens's career had threatening
entries and then some He writes back from the of
course the fandom out there they right, Well, here's the
(42:06):
name is braun Breaker, Bronson, Reed, Dirty dom stead of
a care Trivity, Stratton, Blateman, Roe Carmelo, Hayes, Jovon Evans,
over Femmy, Jordan, Grace, Logan, Paul montest Ford, Sols, the
Coachrick William Sorry, sul Ruka, So just name names. I
don't know what that's supposed to mean. But if you
want something a little more for for me, leg a
little bit more understanding, well that's why I brought this
(42:28):
here myself, and I said, you want to get things
back in the way it should be four foundational pillars
a reboot. You make those the stars that need to
be put front and center now and all storylines, and
start it now while these broadcast deals are in flux.
Refresh the storylines right now with them, ask the character development.
(42:53):
It's as simple as that. Now, what I'd like to
really hear from people out there is what you think
of my idea. Do you think that what I'm suggesting?
Does it sound good to you? I'd love to know
what you think about it. So I hope some of
you will go out there and if you're listening on
(43:14):
the YouTube channel or watching it, or however you finding
out kick of Podcasts at yahoo dot com, please do it.
Feel free to go and send message there, but things
like this, okay, feel free to go and let me
know what you think about all this. If you like
any of the ideas of the booking ideas that I
have here, I'd love to go and get your take
on it. So I hope some of you will go
ahead and take some of these AI generated and then
(43:37):
my input ideas as to these four foundational pillars. Let
me know if you agree with me or not. A
couple more things I need to bring up. There were
some comments after Russell dream from black Belt fifty five
to fourteen. The link of these paper views are ridiculous.
Tony needs to understand that it's not necessarily Also, the
Mercedes belt thing I have no problem with, but she
(43:58):
is to lose all those else and still she's struggling
out the wonder the world title. A lot of these
wrestlers have no self forward and it's probably quite surprised
that she took the cake shot on TV tonight and
Chris stat Lander being set up for the match of
fold Gear and the Harley Cameron stuff. That was pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
And then one more from Stay Woke Folks ninety three.
They are marks, including the bookers, so we'll leave it
at that, folks. Halloween Havoc for NXT is coming up
this weekend, Okay, and and we'll just leave it all there.
We will keep an eye on this and if there
isn't even more of the AI front that we come
in with, obviously, well the next a couple of weeks
we'll have talk about the process of creative and see
(44:41):
all these changes are making right now, are gonna make
any good direction or any headwinds? We'll find out come
back next week when the Wrestlers were podcast. Because wrestling
needs
Speaker 3 (44:50):
