"There's just too many good performers all together. And I feel like we really haven't seen when we had the trio's titles. I feel like this was the match that is the one that we really didn't get. We obviously saw a lot of, we saw 7 of death triangle in the elite, which I mean, there was all great, because again, those 6 performers have incredible chemistry with each other. But, you know, we've got, we've got a lot of really good performers in this match that can really go. So I don't know, unless they want to play into an angle, they want to play into 2024 shit kind of like MJF has done before. They could potentially drop the titles and maybe they turn the whole contract thing into a storyline. I don't know. But I would lean, yeah, my gut's telling me the elite is going to win this just based on the fact that they won a 7 game series to get the titles. It would be kind of weird if they dropped it to the first team that they fought in challenging them on a pay per view standpoint. I shouldn't say it's the first time because they obviously had everything with top flight and AR Fox. But we'll talk about top flight a little bit later on when it comes to another match. So looking at that, yeah, I guess dropping it so quick is weird. But I feel like the last time you had Malik high black and company in this situation, they lost and then weren't heard from again for a quick second. My back, there was rumors that he wanted out. He took a break from AEW and then to bring him back and everyone back in this position will feel weird to make them lose again on a pay per view. Yeah. It's like one of those things where if you signed him back, it was for this. Then Chris Jericho versus Ricky Starks in a match, Ricky Starks needs. I don't care about this match. At all. I feel like this will be in the middle of the card when the crowd is tired and nobody gives a shit. Unless Jericho's like NASCAR again. Unless Jericho says this needs to kick off the card 'cause I know it's about to happen if you put it in the middle of the card. Ricky Starks needs to win. Jericho does not need to win this match. That's it. Ricky Starks is going to lose Jericho's going to win. It's awful. Because that booking. Who's the young kid who rolled up Jericho? Action Andretti. Action Andretti is not barred from ringside just the Jericho appreciation society is, and I think that's a swerve. And he's going to join Jericho and help him win. Whatever. Shenanigans, there are 8 cards in this match and one match is guaranteed an hour. Yeah. Anyway, wow. Cool. We have talked about the 12 batch, the 13 match cards. So one match wasn't an hour long. I suppose you're right. Yeah, again, this whole booking for this has been a mess. Ricky starts needs this match because he already beat Chris Jericho so he needs to beat him the logic doesn't make any sense here. Andreas, I think you underestimate the underestimate the Judas pop because we have to hear it every single week because he's on television every single week. I feel like we are in the minority here where it's like we all get that the Jericho thing is like, it's not doing anyone any favors. It's not helping anyone. It's not helping the Jericho appreciation society. Like, oh my God, he's on television every week. What are we doing? Stop. But every time he comes out, everyone sings along to Judas. Crowd goes nuts, so like, you know, it doesn't,

"Break up and I'm still just as good. Like I wasn't just there for Keith to step on to do all these things in which he's been featured more on television than Keith. Right. Since the breakup and he was like, I had to build all that before I could go to Tony and say, hey, can I get Rick Ross? He's like, everyone can make a call. A lot of people got connects. A lot of people know you. You can find somebody to kick him connect you to someone that works for your gimmick. But not everyone has that trust and cachet from the company to do so. And I was like, well, well, I'll be. I was like, that makes sense. So private party, not there yet in their career. Nah, they're not. Can we talk about what I don't like? This really one thing. Ricky Starks and Chris Jericho stuff. Really? I don't like it. They won me over. Do they? They really did. It's been we talked about this three weeks ago. We didn't talk about them last week. And then this week, I'm not saying it's the best thing, but it was in the trash. A month ago. Now, this match in the trials and getting there, granted, Ricky Starks, I believe one. Well, that's what I'm not sure why he has to work with him. It's like he doesn't make sense. I beat you and I gotta beat your crew to wrestle you again. Don't shoot you have to wrestle a bunch of people to work with me. That's my problem. A bit is terribly as bright. And I'm surprised Ricky Starks is a smart guy. You would think he'd show up and be like, nah, I ain't doing that shit. I beat you. Yeah. So why don't you go work powerhouse or a bunch of other people in my old work, and then if you beat them, you get to meet. This doesn't make any sense. It would make sense if those people were just avenging Jericho. So he's sending random people from the yeah, that makes sense, but it's like, I don't think the endgame freaky star should be Jericho. I already beat you. Yeah, I don't know. What am I doing this again for? Yeah, there's no higher stakes this time. Yeah, that's why I don't care for this feud. It's not helping Ricky right now. I like to match this week, though. Which one? The gauntlet. As long as it lasted. Yeah. I like that you didn't win it. Daniel Garcia is weird. He's kind of protected. Yeah. Right? Like, he's just not still looks like a melon ball. He's not like Batman, right? You don't take ls. So I expected Daniel Garcia. I was like, it must be a DQ or something but no, he beat him. So, but I just don't understand, like, where does this end? I don't know. Free two. If we're in let him do what? They should be in a program for a time. They're in a program. Getting beat up. They're just lackeys. All right. They're funny like ease, but they are hilarious. But they're a good tag team. Hard. Okay. That's an interesting line. Hilarious. So no, we have Ricky stars. It could be better. It could be worse. It was worse. It was worse. The work he toured something. It doesn't make much sense when you put it like that. It doesn't make sense, and on top of that, in some strange ways, cooled off Ricky Starks. Yeah, again, if you didn't put him in a mid card title picture, or he challenged for the main title. And the car was hot. That's what I'm saying. Like, immediately, and this is no knock on Darby Allen and what he did with Joe. But Darby was working with sting and random tag matches and random things. He did not earn quote unquote, whatever. That means in wrestling. The title shot at Joe. It turned out phenomenal. But Ricky stark should have went straight into that program. If you were going to turn Joe from anyone else. I don't know. I'm Ricky powerhouse. How I'm still have beef. So if Ricky would have been Joe Hobbes could have been there for Ricky Starks should have been in that program and not Darby out. I mean, he had the momentum. Nah. They just threw Darby in there and said, yo, it's gonna be crazy. I think nah, I'm not retconning the Darby Joe shit. I just think that Ricky Starks week. But it cooled off Ricky 'cause he should have been hired. Well, here's a real problem with this. You have Starks versus JS, right? But then you got this accident Andretti shoot this floating around? Yes. And it's like, it's getting in the way, 'cause Andretti beat, Jericho first. Yep. So while Starks is like the one a and Andretti's like the two, and tread is one of one. So this guy is in a weird way, really stars beating Jericho didn't mean the same thing. Should have been Jericho. If action Andretti, 'cause he'd be Gerald called on some like fluke shit. One, two, three kid shit. Yeah. If Jericho said that didn't count, you got lucky, and Andre said, I'm gonna prove to you that I can beat you. And he had to run this gauntlet to get back to Jeremy. It all makes more sense. It would make sense? That would help. How many times more sense for action than Drake? I'm good. Whatever they do a revolution, I don't know. It can't be another orange soda match like orange castle. I don't know, but you gotta put stuff over. I just gotta figure out how we get there 'cause you don't want to end up like Eddie Kingston. No. Who was in a few with Jericho and I guess some people were like, this long-term storytelling. All long-term stories aren't good. Some long movies, I don't need to be that long. Eddie Kingston, the way that feud ended with Jericho was bad, right? And it didn't make him as Kingston was. It should have made him, and it didn't. They can't do the same thing with stars. He's too hot. All right, if we got to give out a fire hydrant award. The person put out someone's heat. Or someone to cool someone off the fastest. In this case, who wins it? In a vacuum, passed like year. Who's worse? Jericho? Or the miss? The Miz. The miss felt like a country mile. Yo, I don't even know if this is the miss fault anymore. Everything he's been with has been bad. It's just bad. You got Jonah rock, you had the Gargano stuff and gave him a quick. Yeah, granite Gargano is hurt, but Dexter lumis shit. What else? Who else does he work? Right now he's working booze. I don't care. Booge doing the pump? I don't care. That's incredible. But he ain't going to come out of this Rosie. No, it's miss box. Just add to ask. And then main event shout out to the shirt, sesame daddy ass. Fast boys. The guns versus

"There's no fault of his own. He did very well with what position, right? I'm listening to his promo, I'm just like. Like when I watch Seth Rollins as a baby face. You can do it. This guy is a hue. As well. Starks is the key. It's his best work is as a heel. His best mic work, if you really go back and watch this promo, he stumbles twice. He has like a weird sequence where he just looks at him and then he calls him like a dollar store, I don't know. I forgot rowdy piper, I think. Oh yeah, yeah. And all this, he has moments where he kind of gets lost and then finds and gets back on track, right? He just so much smoother as a heel. So much more natural. It comes across a lot different. And the words cut to those big faces. He's that damn good. But I'm watching this and people are like championing this promo and I'm just like, I've heard in scene Ricky do better. Not to say that you can't. He'd come out next week and spend more fire and that should go. And there's probably off the cuff. So he did very well with it. I was just like, if you're building this guy up and understand powerhouse Hobbs had to be the heel when they split. And then Ricky was forced into a baby face role. It's just the first time I think Ricky Starks is going to be a champion. It's going to be a heel Ricky Starks. Okay. I don't think we're, it's not an injustice to him, 'cause I don't have a huge problem, right? It's just a personal problem with me. I think I love the reception. Everyone else is giving. Ricky Starks is a star. By hook or by crook, you put this guy in the main event scene. I'm happy and calling it for the whole damn time. Boy, when you introduce someone to an audience for the first time in us, we know he's a star. But introducing to even a large portion of their audience to this level. Yep. I always just like introducing the best part of that per person when they get there. And I don't think for him to for his first time being in that main event scene. Being a baby face and even cutting this promo against MJF in a fight, you know he's not going to win. I just don't think that's the best representation of Ricky Starks for his first main event push. Isn't going to bury him? No, it's not going to kill him. I think when putting him out there, now people are like, oh, he belongs. Mission accomplished. It's just, I think when he does get that real run, that real push, it's entirely different, Ricky starts. And I love The Rock comparison by MJF. Because The Rock was okay, babyface. He was always a better heel. And then the crowd will turn them. Crowd turns them from heel to really cool baby face, but he always kept the edge. There's always an asshole. He was always even cutting promos on Lillian and the wire to the back and Lillian. Do you like strudel? Like, he was always doing weird stuff. That's not my heel shit. It just came really cool. Like Starks is that type of thing. And rocks being pushed is rocky maivia. It never worked. Right. Right. So why are we pushing Starks like rocky maivia? Well, did you hear me feel? And here's the difference. Here's the difference in that in that comparison. I understand what you're saying as far as presenting the best version of a person is probably the most ideal. In this case, you know, it's time and place, right? You can't really have heel Ricky Starks versus heel MJF, right? Like that's not gonna work, right? He didn't have to win the tournament right now, though I could tell you that. So I think here's the thing. Baby face is not rocky by the idea. Like the Rocky Mountain rocket. He's a lot better than that is the biggest thing, right? Is that Ricky can do it? Yes. He's just not as good as he will Ricky starts. Sure, sure, of course. And even that said, I think, you know, like every character, they'll go through, you know, they're gonna go through different versions of themselves. Certainly, I think a Seth Rollins comparison here is good because Seth Rollins is character. I mean, where he is now is vastly different than where he was before, right? Like, you know, the shield were super over as a team. Then he became superhero super corporate and super yes man to Triple H, that's far different from cackling crazy either heal or babyface Seth Rollins, where he's just owning everybody on the mic. Ricky is just, I think it's a case of knowing that Ricky kin handled the spot and play second fit. And I shouldn't say play second film. He can play toe to toe with MJF's character, even in this state, even if it's not the best version of Ricky Starks. And if this is a way to advance Ricky Starks in the hierarchy of AEW and then eventually he goes into his, you know, they find the spot for him to go to his final form, right? And he gets to be heel Ricky Starks. I think this step can only help that. And while yes, maybe this promo, again, might not be Ricky stark's finest to people who have watched Ricky Starks. I think still like it was impressive enough in the stage of he was called to bat in this spot. And he needed to deliver. It doesn't necessarily mean like we need you to hit this home run with like, we need to hit a Grand Slam on the bases aren't loaded, right? We can't necessarily do that, but you're gonna fucking kill it in this spot. And it was, and that I think was the best part about the promo, is yes, he did stubble, but it felt off the cuff. It felt natural. And I think that was, yeah. And I think because of that, it brought and what people are really resonating with, I think, as far as this promo is concerned, and they are giving it its flowers. Is that they kind of related to his off the cuff Ness of it, you know? It felt natural. It didn't feel like it wasn't this constructed piece for Ricky. It didn't feel like Ricky was reading off a list of things and being like, these are my lines and I need to hit them. I am a babyface like me, which is a huge problem with a lot of baby faces. And especially in years recently, 80%, 90%. Especially if we want to go to Vince Vince booking right where it's like the baby faces were just fucking idiots. And just to be like Roman Reigns says sucker sucker tash. Game face would be like, oh no, why did I I going to be an idiot and you're going to like me for where it's like and they still have those problems. Like they still have Wesley in NXT like act like a that baby face where it's like I want to take a tough break. I want to be there. I don't take the easy like no dude like just like be natural, right? And Ricky is a natural and I think that is what makes him so endearing to the crowd and why he can endear himself as a baby face.

"Developmental. But you went head to head with the seashell with your a show and pop shit. Cool. Now let's go big boy for big boy. And I think that's the next, not saying there should have been in just throwing this out there. And people will probably disagree. But if you're going to lock down more hours of television, I wouldn't necessarily put because where are you putting ROH? That because Thursdays and Tuesdays are kind of locked up on that network. So it's going to be all app based or if you want it on television or wage would have to go to Monday. It's like, and then I would say, I think it makes sense for ROH to get more of a platform on the Friday. In that time, 'cause they've already got it, and they've got it. I think I agree with that. If they're gonna have a television deal, right? At the end of the day, this is a brand that goes back to back. Hasn't had that kind of spotlight. They could. They could go back to back if they really wanted. That's a lot of SmackDown grandpa drink upon us a lot of things. That's a lot. I don't know if 'cause again, you use the analogy of like Tony going up against trips. I think that that was different than it is today, because again, Tripp's is wearing the big boy pants, trips, trips is WWE, trips is not NXT anymore, right? So them going up on directly on Monday. It'll be Tony's a bully. I don't think small trips, Tony, Tony was about that. No, but I also, but also the other analogy, the other analogy you need to go back to for Tony is that Tony understands that this is cocoa Pepsi. Is Pepsi trying to be a direct competitor to co. No, they're trying to provide an alternative, right? So that is, that is where this is a big difference, right? Like what was the best alternative in pro wrestling history? WCW? Okay, what specific show for WCW? Okay, but I want to ask you. You're right. But this is not the 90s. Like this is like WWE has had this space and they have been the established number one brand for years, AEW is brand new, right? Like WCW, they tried. And it didn't, it did not go well for them, right? Yeah, that was definitely product. There is perspective and parts of it at their own their own doings. I just don't see the thing is like any other part of it too. Rampage wouldn't become the a show at that point because they still have such a stranglehold on Wednesdays. You got to keep your lead there, right? That's still got to be your lead. That's your knife. So if you're going to put a secondary show up against a WWE primary show, that's tough. That's a lot to ask. To be fair, it's WWE secondary show now, but it is the flagship show. It is what again. But again, I still, yeah, I still like, it is the secondary show, 'cause it's on USA, but it's still like, I feel like it's the brand that is most synonymous with WWE. But you talk of, I mean, who knows? We're talking in hypotheticals here, right? So I love when you're on Cole. And we're not successful. We are. And I think we sit on opposite sides of the fence here, but we're also spitballing. What I want to hear about, though, is we talk about FTR and acclaimed here for a little bit. I still think that's something that they can go back to. Especially like the finish wasn't necessarily a definitive finish. It was a roll up finish. But it seems like you have the similar feeling with Ricky Starks and MJF. And I think there's a lot of really good positive buzz with, especially Ricky Starks performance because there's just no question that in that promo. He he shined. He got, he could have been easily crushed by MJF calling him dollar store Dwayne and the pebble. And in courts to The Rock. And he came right back and spit the fire right back at MJF with some incredible work. I don't think there's been any doubts that on this podcast, always said is Ricky Starks is a fucking superstar. This has been clear since day one. As far as the corner podcast go, one of the wrestlers to watch any time he's on any time he's on screen. Anytime he's in a ring. So, and I want to get your perspective on this. Is it like, oh shit, we really have something golden here. Oh no, we're just going to burn it for winter is coming. No. It's weird to do it when air is coming because your champion just was crowned. You're not dropping the belt. We know that endgame of this. But it makes sense in regards to his baby face. Baby faces lose, endear themselves, great effort. Then you come back and you build that's something you build later on, right? Baby faces lose to wit. And you're giving this guy one hell of a heat check. And the crowd is giving back to you and Starks as a star. My big problem is when I'm listening to this promo, and people love this promo. It's not a top 5 Ricky Starks broke.

"It still made the acclaim look like a million bucks. And I think this sets up something down the road. I don't know if Grand Slam a claim sort of in our glory two is the answer to that. But I think it's still, it gives the acclaimed, it gives them their signature match. I don't think they really had one up to that point. Yeah, and before I get to you, I want to say this real quick. I know the company has problems at the top. With punk and the bucks and everything. But I hope they see what they have with swerve right now. Because swerve was like the heel in that match. As far as always a better heal by the way. But he was like the heel. And if you watch the post fight media scrum, he was the heel in that you can the losing and we'll talk about punk and everything as we close out the all out segment of this, but you can lose them if you know what you have. You have someone powerhouse hops. You have somewhere Ricky start. Swear it can be one of your top heels in this company. And I think he proved it by figuring out like, I need to switch up what I'm doing here. Keith might be the same way. He could be your monster heel. But he was still very nice about it. But I think swerve has, there's just something about him that gets it, and then he's just a different kind of worker, and yes, this was a fantastic match, but I think if your tone, you got to look at him like shit, I might have to do something else with swerve at some point. I think that's some point is now. So where's my dude? You know, been on the show. I think I play him and Madden and two days. So we're swears incredible. He's great. I always thought it was a better heal. The claimed have arrived. Yeah. Run it right back. Give him the belts. The worst thing you can do in pro wrestling, in my opinion. Is miss the moment is not strike when the iron is hot. Swerve is going to be fine. Keith is going to be fine. They have long careers. They've won titles. You heat them up tomorrow. They understand how to go. This gimmick, this moment, daddy ass, it's only going to live in a vacuum. Strike while the iron's hot. You run it back, you give them the belts. I don't know if you do that. But carry on, what was your favorite match of the night? My favorite match, not each year. That was great. It was a big man chopping each other. My favorite match is kind of off the beaten path. 'cause it was so short. But it's done perfectly. Paras Hobbs, Ricky Starks. It's the perfect case. I've just doing what's right. No bells, no whistles, none stupid. Granted, there's better in ring, longer matches. But this could have went very bad if someone was booking this differently. You have a different producer wanted this to be a 20 minute banger. That was not needed here. This was powerhouse Hobbs is dominant. And he's going to stay dominant. And Ricky Starks has to be sympathetic. And build from his missteps. Truly take him down to rock bottom. Make the crowd feel his pain. And rocket him up. It's perfectly done. In 5 minutes, not 25. So if you were being critical of this, but I called this, remember? I was like, this pro wrestling. Mentioned the neck. And powerhouse squash them. Yep. Ricky Starks will be fine. Powerhouse Hobbs needs that push. Starks has got it. He's good. He's good. He's good. He cut one promo about this and yeah. He's very good. So before we move on, 'cause, you know, we've got other wrestling to talk about. That we do. Well, let's talk about this main event real quick because we all predicted different things. I wanted punk to go heel, he didn't. I think they fucked up. I think there was a lot of things that they blew with this. Because there are a number of ways you could have gone. Now, let's hypothetically say that the beginning of this show remains the same. MJF gets the chip. He's the Joker. Now, if you wanted to keep punk baby phase, why when MJF just cost him the match? Because we've already seen punk and MJF, right? Yeah. As I watched the match, I was like, Moxley should win this match. As the match was happening, I was like, we're in a bad spot right now because yeah, punk is over. But if you're not turning them healing, you're just getting the title off of Moxley. What did you just do to Mosley? Now, MCF comes back, we already saw this with him punk. Not too long ago. Yep. So in order to move around the idea that you now have to give the title MJF is what everybody's thinking, personally, which I think is a bad idea. Because the biggest problem you have with MJF right now is he's being treated like a baby face. He flipped off the crowd. They were like, we don't care. But the only way you can turn them here, have them attack punk. Haven't caused punk that match. Fuck it, run another injury angle on punk. Seems like you don't want

Ten star match. Next one, Jurassic express versus team taz. Here's my match of the night. Lee and sword. And we're a little biased with swerve was in here. But that's triple holy shit. Can we just talk about fucking and you were right on top of it at the when we were recapping the wrestling wards at the end of the year and looking forward to who would be the next breakout star? Ricky Starks is. Is it? He fucking has it. Oh, he's got it. He had that crowd on a string. He is it. I mean, and it was like, it was one thing. It's one thing watching on TV, but just being in the crowd for rampage and watching Ricky stark's work and how he was able to work the crowd. Let alone his meme of yelling at the guy in the front row and he fucking owning that guy. It's just the way he tells a match with him and MJF are the best in AEW by like telling the story of the match with their face. And just emoting. Everything that's that he does. Every move has a purpose. And it's phenomenal. You can't take your eyes off Ricky starts. He's at all. Unbelievable. It's amazing. You look at these three in this match, like jungle boys recognized one of the four pillars of AW, but then you look at those two swerve and stars. And you're like, well, can we add two more? Because the way that Ricky worked that match, the way square look, like these guys are built together. Now these guys are the three small guys in this triple threat. Yep. You just got powerhouse. Keith Lee and lucha sword. Yo, there's going to be a moment when those three are just staring each other down in the ring. And we're just going to all stand and pop. Big man bump in me. Be a big meeting. But who wins is the question? Is it time for as far as my dude? No, I love Keith Lee. He has always been my God. They lose. Yeah, I don't feel like they're going to put the titles on wherever he could. WWE logic says swerve loses. Wednesday, then wins. We're going that route. I don't think so. They'd be a great tag team. You know, to hold some belts and be all right, but Ricky Starks just that he'll dynamic with hop like that's, again, what is with me in like the crazy hyperbole today? And like the blasphemy. But that's like Sean and diesel. To that level, but as a comparison, no, but it is similar in nature pairing that if their tag champs would be like, I get it 'cause they're both going to be should be. Big things separate. So here's my take on this. Christian's got it. He's turning heel. I don't know where it's happening. But the way Christian has played this could be like edge him an edge on the same career trajectory. But I feel like there's a jungle boy Christian cage matches waiting. I didn't think of that. And if we pull that out, that means loosely expressive losing. Jurassic express is losing. Time for them. And if you look at the cache that powerhouse Hobbes Ricky Starks has built, it just feels right for them to be taxing champions right now. Which also leads you to go, well, we're not necessarily even done with Richie stark's and swerve. And Keith Lee powerhouse. Their singles matches in there as well. I just feel like Starks with like, yes, he has FW title. But starts having real gold, it's they're going to be hard to beat and I have two types. Between the ability? Yes, between the promo ability and the work ethic. I don't know how you beat these guys. So I'm going with stark's powerhouse. Team test gets some titles. All right. We're on the same page. You've talked me into it. I was originally thinking Jurassic express might still hang onto the titles here. But so what we said last pay per view, but I'm also going to address express last year. You did. And then I was going to say reluctantly because I still I'm not quite sure where they would go after that. But you talked me into it with Christian cage doing some shenanigans. So I think they appear like they're going to win and then, yeah, I think it would be Ricky and powerhouse ops. Yeah, and if Christian turns heal, then the heels are winning.

It's going to be a good match. It'll be a good match. This ain't the women's title match of the night. It'll probably be the best worked women's matches. Sure. But yeah, thunder road.

I don't always kinda wanted of those type of deals because most of the fans we're kind of sitting in her hands during this match as far as most quietest moments during dynamite tonight this was definitely one of the most quietest moments during the show. They were popping for her nice little music. Scott me thinking of some old school song from back in the day. I can't picture a name right now. Somebody's gonna tell me exactly what that song is by. Yeah that was pretty rough. I was pretty barth. But anyway post-match baker jumped on. Soho real comes from out of nowhere cleans house y sheets a your inaki from a hater.

Uc hobbs standing over cage. Cages laid out on the ground holding himself as hobbs just continues to lady assault on him. It cuts right back to ricky starks. Who's screaming for the video to cut. While starks runs said a bag tasr hook they pretty much run to the back as well and that pretty much was the end of that segment. Never got a follow up after that. That was just one of the most i made. It's one thing if you're gonna okay but even at that. It was kind of very awkward. Okay for that segment but to now follow up later on in the night was just yeah. Yeah kind of one of those deals. shivani backstage chatting it up with deaf triangle.

He put out an open challenge and he wrestled just about everyone in the company and then people outside of the company he affectively gave eddie kingston job. Ricky starks job. He made darby allen into a star. He made brodie lee into was star. And i'll have again people of extremely bad faith. No this is not sorry. This isn't a question of much bad faith of as much as the the well poisoned here. I'll have people then come around and say well sure. Cody cody. Put over brody lead. But when he was done filming his television show we came back and he won the won. The title right away so that just that. Just a negated. Everything negated everything no it. Didn't it negated. The fact that brodie lee had established himself as a dominant force as a star in the company. Something that the other place was unable to do with lou carpet.

"Let's run through dynamite for two weeks ago. Made a crazy face when i when i was it. A crazy position so we had the lead squad against my page and dark order and limitation match. I vaguely remember that todd. Quite a bit has happened since but your thoughts wasn't at the entrances for the match. I thought i probably would have enjoyed them. If it was like an find them. Funny if it was like the final night of bola when they do like the people have already been limited. Come out and they do the big ten man comedy match But to me this is supposed to be serious business for the world title and heels coming out like the goofy costumes and acting like clowns for you to laugh at it. Just it felt totally inconsistent with what they're trying to do in terms of the significance of the match. Your like the cowboy package was better but it did feel kind of silly to with like the over the top narrator and like the dark order. Both is stressed up cowboy costumes while they talked about like you know like evil. No being like a real cowboy like that was kind of silly to get. It did remind me of the some of the other stuff and eat awa that i would criticise where the world title programs too often felt to into close proximity to more frivolous comedy. And so i wasn't a fan of that. The match itself was great. I thought it was exciting and entertaining to watch Everybody did a great job. I liked a given where they were going with it. I thought the layout of the match was was very smart You know the decision to hold back on page title. Shot is at very interesting decision Obviously they aren't pulling the puck on. Well i shouldn't say obviously because there's some people seem to think it but I certainly do not think that they're pulling the plug on hangman page And the idea. I am sure is that if you keep teasing teasing him after the title that when he finally gets there it's only gonna make it bigger and bigger and i definitely think there's something to that philosophy in general of holding back things holding back things and then eventually deliver But at the same time there's absolutely risk in that sort of thing because sometimes if you tease something for too long and people have interest it can you can. You can miss the peak of something and then when you finally pull the trigger on it. It's past its expiration date and the hangman page kenny omega match in august. I've talked about this. It felt pretty damn ripe to me. It felt like people like when they were doing those those page omega program the angles And the inner ring staff the past few weeks the crowds and granted. It was after they came back from the pandemics so that that is a factor but the crowds felt into that at a level. I don't. I haven't felt that levels of emotional investment. I think at any point over the course of aws. I've seen people like sort of really excited and having fun but it felt like people were invested in that very serious way and i think it is absolutely possible by holding this up holding this back and then doing it again coming back to it whenever they do six months eight months. Ten months That it gets it gets even bigger maybe nine foot maybe seven but y- that it gets bigger but i also think that it's possible that it doesn't and there's also the risk of the the the challenges in the interim Being undermined by the fact that people are waiting for page. And it hurts that. So it's you know it's an interesting It's an interesting conundrum. I mean the the booking has been strong enough in the last year or so that i tend to give them benefit of the doubt But like i said the longer the title chase lasts the more time. There is for Circumstances beyond your control to emerge so we'll see all right Then there was a follow up to ricky starks and brian cage And starts up romo your thoughts on on on that. Yeah enjoy the strike celebration. Tasr in particular was great with his enthusiasm for this whole thing. He was a total. He'll but i enjoy like when a is like really happy celebrating something in a way that like manages to both be sort of amusing. But you also don't like him. And i thought tasr was able to to pull that off their I felt bad for the poor man. Scott out there. Picking up the tr- You know picking up the trombone. And then he gets annihilated like that. I thought that was That was kind of mean by the way was what would it mean thing to say Before this you know it wasn't terribly notable they just did a brief vignette with travel being more more he'll which does appear to be the direction now but then they had andrade speaking backstage with With penta and a and phoenix. And i do want to say that a does need to speak in spanish rather than english so at least some people can understand because i was like please speaking spanish so i can understand you totally totally accurate point. All right Fdr santana or tease had the challenge of following up that opening tag match and they put a lot of effort into hyping. It felt like it was the wrong place to put it and they paid a little bit of a price for it. Well it's it's hard for me to judge that. Because i mean obviously the the injury was such a weird fluke remember saying that before that i mean. I think it's it's possible that they could have pulled back in the crowd. Once they really got to sort of the you know the peak of the match. So i call that out as a caveat but you know if you look at the match itself. Yeah i mean it certainly certainly fits with your your argument because you know it. Didn't it never. It never got to the point. But you know questions had to do that. Yeah that was an se. He looked like worried. You know when you when cashed up to walk to the back holding his arm and place. It was like that wasn't just this hurt. It was like what's going on this freaky absolutely yes unusual. I think that was. And i think it'd be sort of like was thinking through it like you know i'm not gonna bleed out here you know they're gonna have to stitch this thing up the you know it's not going to be the the end of the world but if you're you know you're you're an athlete and you're use to you know you know tweaking your knee or tweaking ankle. You sort of know what that feels like. But it's you know. I don't think a lot of us have had the experience of being sort of sliced open. So that's you know. I remember when i was when i was a kid in seventh grade. We were all climbing over the fence. And i got my My hand caught on a jagged edge jagged ding and it just scratched down my arm and created a scar. That still exists today and being like pretty freaked out by and that was you know nowhere near as deep. I think is what happened to him. So yeah it's different deal. All right i was going to share some of my cut stories. But i figure we're fine. Let's see next next week can hold back for another time. I have a giant scar on my big toe that i can share a story. Although it's not not that exciting so yeah then we had darby teasing some punk which we already covered so then our you open appliance archer. And i. i've got say. Who coolio i love saying that he kaleo is that right. Yes but when. I said it mistakenly late at night last wednesday..

Now i eat and me. I i understand i get the classic wrestling and i think that's what they were trying to convey here but i also think that the pacing was a little bit off on it and i was kind of exciting.

You just would have thought that team tasr was going to be prepared for brian cage. I was expecting for there to be some type of an ambush brank as we knew this was going to happen. We knew you were going to try to bring your ass on out here. That's why we came prepared. I was ready but we didn't get any of that tonight instead. We pretty much just got brian cage coming out there messing with that low band.

"I think we can be an agreement here. If you guys really where. I'm coming from. The psychology going into this match was totally way. Off was totally way off. It did not. In my estimation at lease it did not match up to what we've been seeing ricky starks off and on these past several weeks every single time. Brian cage has been trying to get his hands on that little guy law. Mammon were hauling ass so you know to see how they both just came out making their own respecting entrances. Nah man not not cool whatsoever. As far as i was concerned hail. You could have even have brian cage just flinging out ricky starks. Is you know nowadays. You have the baby faces. They're doing their entrances. And then you've got the hills. They're doing their interests. You could've easily just okay. We got the music. Ricky stars plan. We'll see no ricky. What's going on with little. Ricky law requires little ricky. God is so funny. How i just stumbled upon that name. Too little ricky. That's his new name for now. One little ricky. Lo ricky until until further notice. His name is little ricky and he should be very very humbled by that. Because i'm linking. That's one of my favorite tv. Classic shows of all time. And i love lucy. So little ricky and is like little ricky and low ricky jus- you see as ashes getting tossed out there onto the ramp. He's taken an ass kicking at. The hands of brian cage could easily. Just you feel. I'm coming from so just a psychology before bell even rings way off and then to basically have ricky starks. Build him up so much that we're trying to put him at the same level physically physically as brian cage. That for me was just very comical. It was very very comical..
