time in the Joe. Well, in a bar, really.

SPEAKER_01

In a bar. I stayed until like What? Oh, he was there until like midnight. Yeah, midnight. And I got they didn't realize I was a minor.

SPEAKER_00

I really like this just has to be the height.

SPEAKER_01

I know. And Noah spilled drink on a spilled beer on a pool table.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they was more concerned about me spilling beer on a pool table than this child that was still in there after the show.

SPEAKER_01

And then Noah spilled beer on the table, and they was like, all right, take your hats off. We're about to do the national anthem. And they waited like 20 minutes after.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. We stood their hats off hand on heart for how long until like everybody had. I'd say five minutes at least. We were the only ones he had to have told. Yeah. We were the only ones prepared.

SPEAKER_01

And it was like in the middle of like it was like midnight and there wasn't even an event going on or anything.

SPEAKER_00

Which I can't I it must be a common thing they do. I can't remember them doing it just at a random time, the times I've been there. But I mean, I'm not hating on the on the anthem, though. I mean, I'll I'll take my hat off, put my hand on my heart any damn time. Yeah. But the show, though, before all this, before the beer was spilt, before the anthem, it was the tailgate takeover. One hell of a show. We had who all we had. We had our boys, AJ, we had the Thrill Billy, Thrill Billy, NWA world champion.

SPEAKER_01

Um, we had Carson Drake. We had um there were so many dudes there that were so good.

SPEAKER_00

Well, the we all were also forgetting, too, there was Savannah or the Banana Ball teams.

SPEAKER_01

The banana ball teams were there.

SPEAKER_00

They had the Texas Telgators, the Beefy Boys.

SPEAKER_01

Texas Tailgators, Savannah Bananas, they was there. Um, I thought there was another team there, but maybe there's not.

SPEAKER_00

I think it was just those two. I think so. Which they played each other that night after in Knoxville at Elen Stadium, a hundred thousand people in attendance. So many people there. My God. But it's awesome to see our boys AJ and KC out there doing big things along with all the wrestling stuff they're doing.

SPEAKER_01

Speaking of AJ and KC, new NWA tag team champions. Shout out our boys, the country gents. And uh, we also got new tag champs in NWA. Fluff.

SPEAKER_00

They won the what was it?

SPEAKER_01

Was it the I think it's the JCP ones.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, the yeah, Fluff Man and uh I forgot the other dude's name. Uh Thoroughbred. Big Daddy Thoroughbred or something like that, I think.

SPEAKER_01

He came out to save a horse ride a cowboy.

SPEAKER_00

Which was awesome. Yeah, that was that's a great. That's such a great choice of a song.

SPEAKER_01

I thought it was okay, so here's the funny thing. I thought it was AJ Kazano when we first walked in. You did. Because I was like, Dad, there's AJ on top of the thing, and he was like, it's not AJ, I think that's his brother.

SPEAKER_00

We both we walked up there, I mean it looked just like him. I mean, the the the getup, I mean it was just a black t-shirt, jeans, he had the beard. We walked up, we're both like, what's up, man? And I dap him up and I look, I'm like, I don't think that's AJ.

SPEAKER_01

I I dapped him up and I was like, hold on. Because I was wearing my AJ shirt and he was like, hey, nice shirt, and I was like, thanks, and I thought it was AJ. And so I was like, and then I got like a closer look and it was not him, and then we seen him over at the bar.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, AJ was about 10 more steps out in front of us. Noah bought him a beer, actually. I did. Well, it wasn't a beer, it was uh a drink. I can't even remember what it was, but I told him back at AMW War Games that if I was traveling to Knoxville for a show, that I'm drinking something with him.

SPEAKER_01

That happened.

SPEAKER_00

And I fulfilled that. So you're welcome for that, AJ. I hope it was a great drink.

SPEAKER_01

It's kind of fun in a bar, actually. It is. Staying in a bar.

SPEAKER_00

You know, like, God, I sound like such a bad influence. I don't even go to bars that much. I really, rarely do.

SPEAKER_01

It was fun though. That show was awesome.

SPEAKER_00

It's so great. Did we have we had the that that tag title change? Uh was there any other title change? Yeah, the stud championship. Yes. Who who was it that won that?

SPEAKER_01

Axon Ray faced him earlier in NWA. I forgot his name.

SPEAKER_00

Damn it. I don't know his name. That's what happens whenever you take too long of a break.

SPEAKER_01

We did take too long of a break. We apologize, really.

SPEAKER_00

Too long, honestly.

SPEAKER_01

It's been too long. We should have dropped content. We was just wore out. We're just now recovering from the three-day weekend, actually.

SPEAKER_00

Honestly. Took us a long time, but coming back home from the three-day weekend, straight back to work, you straight back to school. No, you had finals.

SPEAKER_01

I had finals right when I got back. But school's out now. For the summer. I'm ready to make some content for you guys. And just stay tuned with us. The workership crew has big things coming up.

We already got one posted that you can go watch right now. Another one in the making. Three of them in the making. Three. Three separate days.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, three separate days. Yeah, you're right. One of them got messed up because we got behind a slow car.

SPEAKER_00

Got it. Yeah. My God. It's been two weeks of hell with people on the road, really.

SPEAKER_01

It has. We stayed in a camper and I froze myself to death in a room. Um, we went and ate green tomato grill, some of the best food.

SPEAKER_00

That Saturday morning, night after the Joe.

SPEAKER_01

Some of the best food I've had in a long time.

SPEAKER_00

So delicious. Big ass country fried chicken. I got what was damn. Y'all got everything.

SPEAKER_01

I got ribs and mac and cheese balls.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, the mac and cheese balls were Jesus Christ. They were God. Um which we left. No, we went back to the camper after we ate that morning. Yeah. Heavy D took him a nap. You know, Paw Pa Pawpa's gotta take his nap.

SPEAKER_01

We didn't let him take a nap, actually. Well, it was about 30, 45 minutes. 30, 45 minute nap, and then we woke him up to go work out with Jeff Baker.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Which was awesome, actually.

SPEAKER_00

I was sitting at the camper. Baker's like, I'm about to head to the gym if, you know, if y'all want to come meet. And the camper is an hour away from Kingsport. I'm like, oh shit. Go wake up, Dusty. I'm like, hey Dusty. He wakes up, he's like, huh. I was like, Baker's about to go work out. He's like, that's exactly what he did, actually. Literally. So he got up and we went and got a nice pump with the big beefy bastard.

SPEAKER_01

We did.

SPEAKER_00

And poor Clay. I tipped my hat to him. Because he didn't change no weights or nothing. Bro put in the work. He might have needed a bidet to wipe his ass the next morning. I did actually. But by God, he put in the work. We did some RVDs. You know, actually, after we came back home, I did I did those my first arm day back. Oh, really? Yes. I bet. They're so good. I loved them. I'm gonna start doing them, really. They are so great. It's almost like a Bayesian curl, but up here, you know, which I guess is about the same.

SPEAKER_01

Like if I if I go to the rec center or something and lift, I'm oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I'm gonna do it. Which I will say they're they ain't wide enough that you gotta do them one arm at a time. Still works, though. Oh really? Still works.

SPEAKER_01

But that day was fun. Friday was awesome. We got home from the Joe. We was worn out. We went straight to sleep.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, God. Which we didn't get home till probably two o'clock. Between one and two.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. My God. Which I honestly. I might have gotten a slightly inebriated that night. Nothing too crazy. Just a little bit. But we was about on our way, we was about back to the camper, and I was like, you know, this ain't been that bad of a ride. And Dave was like, because you wasn't here half the ride. You know what? That's a fair point. It's a very fair point. So I got home, well not home, but to the camper. And I just I conked out. I know Clay did. Yeah, I did. Well, I don't know if he conked out, he more or less freezed out.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well, it wasn't that cold whenever I went to sleep. It's whenever I woke up. Oh, yeah. I couldn't like take the covers off of. I was like, I dreaded getting up because it was freezing. But we did sleep in a little bit and then we went and ate. So that was fun. Now on to Saturday.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Which we've already we've made it, you know, we went and worked out with Baker, which I I do want to say he can say that we didn't hold him up. We might have, I think we held him up.

SPEAKER_01

I think we did hold him up.

SPEAKER_00

We made him and and we do apologize for that, Baker. He says, he says we didn't make him late, but but he is he's a real one for waiting on us until we got there to start. So we're sorry, Baker, but thank you so much. Thank you, Baker.

SPEAKER_01

Um Saturday, Innovate and Net Pro Studios Collision Course.

SPEAKER_00

God, hell of a show. Awesome show. Start to finish, as always.

SPEAKER_01

New VIP winner

Innovate Collision Course Highlights

SPEAKER_01

belt. Well, winner necklace.

SPEAKER_00

VIP fast pass winner, but that's what he is. He ain't even the holder now because he cashed that damn thing in the same time.

SPEAKER_01

He cashed it in the same night against Andy Optimal to win the Innovate Grand Slam Championship.

SPEAKER_00

And I mean, uh, who better than Axton fucking Ray?

SPEAKER_01

And got a little teaser from Axon Ray saying he's on to do big things.

SPEAKER_00

Which we thought was for sure WWE or AEW.

SPEAKER_01

It's not.

SPEAKER_00

But honestly, what it ended up being, I think, is in my eyes almost bigger.

SPEAKER_01

NWA.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

That's your start to like getting up.

SPEAKER_00

Which is crazy to see. They're they're they're seeing this on what's the date?

SPEAKER_01

Today's Wednesday the third.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. So y'all are gonna be watching this on the fourth or after. And if you're watching this on the fourth.

SPEAKER_01

If you're watching this on the sixth, then you'll see him in action at NWA in Atlanta, Georgia.

SPEAKER_00

Against. Against the son of a legend. Some might even say he's somewhat of a legend, too. Kobe Carino, who's making his in ring return for almost a year out, I believe, from a neck injury. Wow. And Axton's his first opponent.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00

That's crazy. Which hell on that card's stacked too.

SPEAKER_01

That is stacked.

SPEAKER_00

Thrill Billy versus um Carrie Moore. I wish we could make it to that. Gosh. I didn't realize it was so close until today. I was like, oh shit, the six is this weekend.

SPEAKER_01

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So Axton has the big things planned. Mm-hmm. Um all while being the face of Innovate, once again.

SPEAKER_01

We wanted to get him on. I still think we got to. Because I think he'll still be innovate.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. They wouldn't have put the title on him. If he ain't gonna still be with Innovate.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you're right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know. I mean, he well, I mean, he's with or without the title, he's one of the faces of Innovate regardless. He is. He definitely is. So I mean they're I don't think they're gonna just throw the title on him for him to not be there. You know, I don't think and even if he does give us a Roman range treatment, by all means he deserves it. He does. Because my god, that man's an animal. But let's backtrack a little bit to before he won that fast pass. Because that match Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_01

Nicole Payne was hardcore as a as a I mean Yes.

SPEAKER_00

She is one hardcore. And that's all there is to it.

SPEAKER_02

What?

SPEAKER_00

Which also, too, what started out as an eight-man ladder match.

SPEAKER_01

Turned into a ten.

SPEAKER_00

Just the week of.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, and it was high, it was everything you wanted to. It was, you you had high flyers. You had Trayvon Ali flying over the top rope. Yeah, you had high flyers, you had big big brutes, you had big brutes that are high flyers, like Trayvon Lali. Great, but great guy, by the way. Yes, great guy. Go on the show, man. But dude, all the spots that happened there. The moonsault from Brandon Hartsook off the ladder to the outside. I mean, yeah, Habibi jumping off the ladders.

SPEAKER_01

Habibi was awesome.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, Habibi. That new jack gear. H2K, baby.

SPEAKER_01

That's actually our baseball saying.

SPEAKER_00

Really? Yeah. That's hard. No pun intended.

SPEAKER_01

It's H2K.

SPEAKER_00

But dude, it was from start to finish, from one spot to the next. One of the craziest matches I think we've seen.

SPEAKER_01

It is. Wild Bill.

SPEAKER_00

God, if Wild Bill is in a ladder match, someone's just guaranteed to go through a table.

SPEAKER_01

What? Didn't he get hurt or something? Uh, he got Oh, he got kicked in the face.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah. Trayvon kicked the shit out of him. He got kicked in the face. My God, and I got it on camera too. And which the one I got on tape wasn't the one that he was talking about. Oh, really? So he got got two or three times in that match.

SPEAKER_01

Big Scary got got too, didn't he?

SPEAKER_00

Jeez God, Big Scary. That was a hell of a match or two.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That man ate so many headshots.

SPEAKER_01

So many chair headshots.

SPEAKER_00

You would have thought that the Rock and Mick Foley was there in the ring. Yeah. It was a lot of headshots. Which was awesome. But my God, dude, I hope your headache is gone by now. Probably not, though.

SPEAKER_01

Man, I want to bring Easy. I want to bring Easy to the innovate show.

SPEAKER_00

God. It'd blow his socks off.

SPEAKER_01

He'd just be up though. Like he'd be up running around recording.

SPEAKER_00

As he should, though. Yeah. At a place like that. Yeah. God. I don't know if he, I don't know if he I don't think he'd survive. Because there's no barricade or nothing. He, God. I'm telling you, it would, it'd probably blow his little mullet off. Yeah, it would. It about blew mine off the first time. Crazy would let him chop somebody. Oh, dude, we got to. We gotta make that happen. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh man. That was one of the better innovate shows I've seen.

SPEAKER_00

Which is crazy though, because we say that after every innovate show. I know. I know, I know, I know. It seems like the one the next one always tops the last. That's a good thing, though. That's a damn good thing.

SPEAKER_01

Shout out, shout out Dan and Tony. Yes, I was about to say it too.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, shout out Dan and Tony, which we had Dan on our last episode. If you ain't seen that, go watch it. Great episode with him.

SPEAKER_01

He had a heck of a promo.

SPEAKER_00

God, dude. That I ain't felt a promo like that in a while, really.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, they showed up.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just kidding.

unknown

Nah. No.

SPEAKER_01

We did see some uh horrible videos up there.

SPEAKER_00

They did, yes. They did. Did you did you see it? Oh, yeah. Dad showed you. Oh well, no, I saw. Either I saw it before your dad or I. Tony posted it. Oh yeah. Tony posted it and then posted it on the innovate page.

SPEAKER_01

That kick to the gut wasn't even like close.

SPEAKER_00

None of it was even close.

SPEAKER_01

None of it. I mean, and after Dad said me and you could have put on more of a show than that. Absolutely. 100%.

SPEAKER_00

After watching that, I was like, damn, I should have listened to everyone wanting to do it.

SPEAKER_01

I think I think we would have been the best ones in there. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But honestly, I if I got in there, I'd just been a stiff bastard, but at least been doing but at least been doing stuff correctly. We'd have took months, right? Oh yeah. And we wouldn't trip out of nowhere. Yeah. You know, we if you know, we'd be actually Yeah, when that they're tripped, we'd we would be actually calling spots, not just in our head. Yeah. But I don't know, man. That was a that was a shit show, really.

SPEAKER_01

Dan had a promo. What was he talking about?

SPEAKER_00

He's talking about pedophiles and Yeah, so yes, he, you know, so he came out waiting for, you know, Pelvis Wesley and and and his two goons to show up for the call out. Which, like everyone expected, they never they, you know, they didn't show. They had what the door open?

SPEAKER_01

Door was open, garage was open.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, they, you know, all they had to do was take a step take a few steps into the into the into the school. You keep going, I'll say it later. Okay. But while while we waited, Dan said a few few choice of words and meant every bit of it. It's what? It's about 10 minutes, 10, 15 minutes of it.

SPEAKER_01

It's probably a 10 10 minute promo.

SPEAKER_00

About a 10-minute promo. And he covered a lot of things about you know he believes he's the reason for uh that slop fest of a promotion. Or at least has some responsibility from it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And understandably, but he's he, you know, he he aired his grievances and left it at that. His, you know, the past is the past. He's leaving it in the past, he says. But if you haven't heard the promo or watched it, you need to go watch it.

SPEAKER_01

You need to go watch it on in it's on Innovate YouTube, right?

SPEAKER_00

Uh, I think it's on their Facebook. Yeah, should should be on their Facebook and YouTube. It should be where on everything. That's what I thought.

SPEAKER_01

Um Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So Which that started the show.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that opened up the show.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Which was, I think, a good start.

SPEAKER_01

It was a great start because it got it really did get the crowd going. It got them hot.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah. Well, and I'll just put it like this, too. When you got the man who typically apologizes for any foul choice of words at the shows is dropping quite a few F bombs, you know the man means business. And he means what he's he says what he means and he means what he says.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. That was fun. It was a fun show.

SPEAKER_00

F U N. Actually with a couple in, actually.

SPEAKER_01

F U N N N N N.

SPEAKER_00

And just keep it going. Times it by three.

SPEAKER_01

This is off topic, but I I told somebody they was talking about something about me, and I said that's a F A K T fact. Oh, that's awesome. 'Cause it like they didn't know what it meant, so I just wanted to say it. Shout out, troublemakers. Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Um still got your towel right here.

SPEAKER_01

Back going back to innovate, we seen the faction. Uh and Bron Bronson Garrett handcuffed to Truman. Yes. And we seen Tyler Foshi and Crash, right? It was Crash.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Tyler Foshi and our boy Crash against the faction. Against the faction. Bronson handcuffed to Truman.

SPEAKER_01

Truman took some crazy bumps. Surprisingly, actually.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, that super kicked on the outside. That bump he took with that. Right beside us. On the hard ground. No pad and nothing.

unknown

Thud.

SPEAKER_00

I think that's the first bump he's ever took. I felt that in my chair he hit the ground so hard.

SPEAKER_01

I think he wanted him to do that because he'll be out.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah, for sure. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah. And by God, he took it like he'd been doing it. He had a good promo. He had a damn good promo.

SPEAKER_01

That got me fired up, really.

SPEAKER_00

And we love you, Truman.

SPEAKER_01

Love you, Truman. You're you're gonna win.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. You're gonna kick its ass, actually.

SPEAKER_01

That was awesome. He got he got the crowd fired up. He said, all your problems that you're having right now, put them aside. You're here for wrestling. And I've lived by that same thing. Yes. Ever since I've actually went to KCW. KCW's where my indie journey really started.

SPEAKER_00

KCW, you let that fire under your ass.

SPEAKER_01

It did. Really?

SPEAKER_00

For every right. Yeah. Honestly, I don't think a better promotion to like. We'll get there. We'll get there. We will. We'll get there. We will.

SPEAKER_01

Um while we're on that. Tyler Foshi turned hill.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, after the match. Without Nick Hammond's there, too.

SPEAKER_01

I think that's why they didn't bring him.

SPEAKER_00

So but not just that, we need hopefully Nick's at the next show because we're we gotta hear something from him about it. I mean, he was part of G1 and Pineapple Express.

SPEAKER_01

I've talked to him about coming on.

SPEAKER_00

Who, Nick?

SPEAKER_01

No, Tyler. Oh really? Yeah. We need to get him on. I messaged him on TikTok. Hell yeah, we need to get him on. Yeah. He doesn't like to eat, apparently. That's what he says on his TikToks. He hates food. Wow. That's what he said. Whatever float your boat, man.

SPEAKER_00

Tony Gibbons was put in a sleeper hold by Tyler Foshi. Well, first off, we need to explain how what like what happened with him turning.

SPEAKER_01

What did happen?

SPEAKER_00

Truman was up on the turnbuckle. I think celebrating to the crowd or something. Yeah, he was. And Foshi came up behind him and just low blowed him.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Which was another big bump from Truman too, off that second rope to the mat. Which I'd say it probably didn't feel too good. And so right then and there, we're like, oh shit, Foshi's, you know, Foshi's turning. Then he turned on crash. And dude, and it which was wild just because he was I thought he I think he was quite pr quite babyface, you know.

SPEAKER_01

He was, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know, G1, Pineapple Express. Everybody loves him. There wasn't even no sign of him turning. No. Like it truthfully, truthfully, that was a swerve and a half.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So then he, you know, he exits the ring. Tony comes in, you know, checking on Truman. And then Foshi just comes back, throws Tony in a rear neck of choke. Puts Tony out, Gunther style.

SPEAKER_01

Chris told me that was a last minute thing.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah, I bet.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's awesome, dude.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, there's always there's always a good work. And there's always a shoot at Innovate Wrestling.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_00

It was so funny because uh, like I said, we're out there talking to Zen, just you know, out in the middle of the parking lot. So we're quite a bit away away from it, and all we we just hear this commotion and people hooting and hollering and and and people leaving and stuff, and we're like, what the hell is going on?

SPEAKER_01

Some lady was so mad about something. Did you hear oh yeah?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_00

It was a lot, it was a lot going on at that moment. We didn't know what the hell happened until like right before intermission was over. Like it took like everybody's like, I don't know what happened, and we're like, what happened?

SPEAKER_01

No. No stopping.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

No gas, all I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

All gas and sometimes some brakes. Some brakes, light brakes, light duty brakes. Or just yeah. Even marks get tired. Marks get tired a lot. We do. We get back up.

SPEAKER_01

But innovate collision course was awesome. Always. It we thought it was the best one we was gonna go to. Yes. Until. No. Well, hang on. I want to mention one more thing. After Innovate, we go to Waffle House. That's our tradition after Innovate. One of the funnest Waffle House trips.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, dude, that Waffle House is always a good time. That is. Whether whether if we're whether if it's the the waiters and and and stuff or waiters, never mind. Or just people that are there eating too. Yeah. Because hell you never know. Sometimes we'll run into to wrestlers or we'll run into other fans. It's always like a nice reunion, post-show reunion at the wall at the Waffle House and uh Teach Sport.

SPEAKER_01

Who's our waiter?

SPEAKER_00

The dude. Damn, I cannot remember his name. I cannot remember his name. He's there every time we go there. Every time. Great spirits guy. Love him.

SPEAKER_01

And then uh another girl was there.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. My God. Well, no, no. We won't go there. I ain't never met someone so off the rails.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we won't go there. Um, but I just wanted to mention that because that was that Waffle House trip was fun.

SPEAKER_00

Oh god, yeah, it's always fun. It's always fun.

SPEAKER_01

We always eat good down there.

SPEAKER_00

I play I I tread lightly this time. No casualties after the Waffle House for me.

SPEAKER_01

We always eat good down there.

SPEAKER_00

Oh god, yeah. Always. Whether if it's one night, three nights, two nights, who knows?

SPEAKER_01

Well, we thought Innovate was gonna be the best show of the weekend. Boy, was we wrong.

unknown

Damn.

SPEAKER_01

Just going on to Sunday. NGW.

SPEAKER_00

Next generation wrestling.

SPEAKER_01

Knoxville, Tennessee.

SPEAKER_00

At the mill and mine.

SPEAKER_01

At the mill and mine. The venue was awesome. The matches was awesome.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, there listen.

SPEAKER_01

Boys, there wasn't much more we could ask for with

NGW At Mill And Mine

SPEAKER_01

that show.

SPEAKER_00

I've I've said it since we we were at the show. And I don't even I don't even think you know what I'm talking about. But if you've not been to NGW, Next Gen Wrestling, in Knoxville, you are missing out. Missing out. I have now listen. When I was in middle school, me and Chase was N D wrestling crazy. I like to think during that time, I want to like from 2014 to about 2018 was in my eyes almost like prime indie wrestling. Whether it was ROH, any of them, Chikara, there's one that any hardcore fan knows, which is Pro Wrestling Gorilla, PWG. And I don't know if you've seen anything from PWG. They're not around no more. I don't know if they're just completely gone or what. But every big star that came from the Indies has stepped through PWG. And there is some controversial things coming out about it here here lately. Which I like the wrestling side of it. I ain't side, I you know, I ain't with the controversial uh stuff that they've said. I've never seen I ain't seen it. Don't worry about the PWG files. Okay. Just worry about the PWG wrestling. But NGW with the venue and just the style of how it flowed reminded me so much of PWG. Fans coming around after matches, beating on the apron, streamers being thrown. I mean, it was everything we would have wanted in an indie wrestling show. And not just that, being the best show of the weekend, and no, like it was all like there were no weapons or nothing.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

And as much as I love We did have a dude jump from the rafters. Yes, there was a dude jump from the rafters. And I missed it too.

SPEAKER_01

I'll post that on the on our worker shoot page for you guys to see.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, because my God. We thought Truman took some gnarly bumps until dudes jumping from the rafters.

SPEAKER_01

It was an awesome, awesome night. A lot of net pro guys there, actually.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Crash was there. Habibi was there.

SPEAKER_00

Andy.

SPEAKER_01

Andy Optimal.

SPEAKER_00

Braxton Kane.

SPEAKER_01

Braxton Kane. Uh Jay Venom. Um and Mark's Stunner was his name.

SPEAKER_00

Is that what yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Stunner's his name in Innovate.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know if that's I believe it was the same name. Yeah. No disrespect. But honestly, the two best pre-show matches I think we've ever seen at any show. Oh, 100%. They were great pre-show matches. And not just that, we had two surprises at that show that no one was expecting. No one knew about.

SPEAKER_01

I just forgot.

SPEAKER_00

For starters, there was a fatal four-way match. Ishabon, who, again, to my knowledge, is like, you know, very known on the indies. Like Dayton backed Pete. Oh, yeah. You know, I mean, he's wrestled uh Javon. Yeah, that dude's like I reckon that dude's ran the indies for a while. Very known. So I wasn't even expecting to see him. So we had Ishabon, Terry Aki, which I was impressed by him. His name is Terry Aki. Yes, which is clever as hell.

SPEAKER_01

It is.

SPEAKER_00

Um what was the other dude? Chad uh Chad Rad Raderick. Yeah, Chad Radman or something. Chad Raderick, I think. Raderick. Something. It was something Raderick. And then there was one more person left. And it was supposed to just be a triple threat. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

I'm pretty sure. No. No, that's wrong.

SPEAKER_00

I can't remember. But there was one per one more person left. Music hits, you know, it's some groovy shit. You know, I'm, you know, get my job.

SPEAKER_01

Did you know what it was as soon as it hit?

SPEAKER_00

Not until I turned around and saw the Titan Tron. I didn't know who he was. Because, you know, our back, we were sitting at the ramp, so our backs are towards the stage. Yeah. So I'm already liking the music. I turn and look at the screen, it just says Swan. Rich Swan made his return to NGW, which again, I didn't know he had a history. There's so many stars that have a history there that I didn't know about. Rich Swan, crazy match. Danced with half of the crowd making his entrance. I mean, it was beautiful. Gosh. And this was before the bell rang. How many, how many dives and Topei, you know, Tope can helos and how many flying high, flying, crazy shit happened in that match, Clay?

SPEAKER_01

For me, best match of the night.

SPEAKER_00

Honestly, I would have to I would have to agree.

SPEAKER_01

Best match of the night. It was it was pretty much all luchadors. Well, not luchador's high flyers.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

There's one luchador and three high flyers in that match.

SPEAKER_00

And teriyaki's a big dude. He is. He's a pretty big dude. He is. Are you are you claiming him as the luchador?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01

Mainly Ichibon, which he is, but But that's also that's like a Japanese name.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I don't know what it's style. I don't know. It's crazy. It's it's it's high flying flippy stuff, and I and I like it. I don't I don't care what anyone says about spot fests and stuff, as long as it's done right, but it's some of the best wrestling you can watch, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_01

Rich Swan, former WWE Cruiserweight champion.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, sir. Mr. 205 Live.

SPEAKER_01

Gosh, that was awesome times. 205 Live.

SPEAKER_00

It was awesome. It really was, dude. The Cruiserweight uh classic that started, you know, that was started for 205 Live was crazy too. Prime 2016.

SPEAKER_01

And our main event, which was supposed to go on as just a normal single one-on-one singles match, the promoter, somebody, comes out.

SPEAKER_00

Which let's see it first off, we need to acknowledge who the who the ch uh champion was, which was Matt Cross. Matt Cross, yeah, that's who it was. And if you don't know about him, I mean, if you if you remember the Lucha Underground days, Son of Havoc, I mean, that's that's where I discovered it, Matt was Lucha Underground years ago. One of the best shooting star presses I've ever seen. Didn't get to hit it the match. I was very upset. But it's okay.

SPEAKER_01

It's okay.

SPEAKER_00

So him alone being champion coming in, that was still crazy. See him. I mean, there were so many names that was there that was just wild to see. So you already got him, and then what was it? Uh Suge?

SPEAKER_01

Suge, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Suge was his opponent.

SPEAKER_01

And what was supposed to go down is just a normal one-on-one singles match for the NGW title. The promoter comes out, says, Hold on. Remember the number one contenders match. You lost, or something. What'd he say?

SPEAKER_00

I can't even re I think he said like this this dude was the number one contender.

SPEAKER_01

But he had to leave for something.

SPEAKER_00

I believe so.

SPEAKER_01

So he ended up He says you wasn't the original one number one contender.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He points to the Titentron, says he is. Music hits, says Breeze on the Titentron. Tyler Breeze comes back, returns to NGW.

SPEAKER_00

Again, didn't know he had a history with T.

SPEAKER_01

Didn't know he had a history with NGW.

SPEAKER_00

Like this is our first NGW show. You know, we went in blind, knowing nothing about it.

SPEAKER_01

And we loved it, actually.

SPEAKER_00

And came out diehard NGW fans now, which they announced their next show, July 26th, I believe.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Wrestle Wars, I think.

SPEAKER_01

Put that on the schedule.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Because we have to go.

unknown

Dude.

SPEAKER_00

I just I would I want to see I just I just want to see more, dude. Like I want to see what they what all they got. Because like I said, we we saw the best show of the weekend, not a single weapon used. So I just wonder what their other shows are like with different stipulations and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01

I will say they're whenever they had promos backstage, the screen didn't really work for them.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. The the all the segments didn't really we heard them all.

SPEAKER_01

We heard them.

SPEAKER_00

But it it would it it freeze.

SPEAKER_01

We had a retirement match actually. We did, dude. It was a career because I love that team.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. That was such the Lost Boys. Lost Boys, yeah. Dude, they were I enjoyed the hell out of them.

SPEAKER_01

They they had like a Paul Heyman guy kinda, and he turned heel on them. And because before the match, the dude was very confident in them winning or whatever. And uh he was like, They're the Lost Boys are gonna put their careers on the line, and they they didn't want to do it, but they did it because he made the match official. And then halfway through the match, the dude turns on them and costs on the match. Yeah. And loses on the tag titles and loses their loses them their careers. And in the process, Noah got his hat knocked off.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Thomas Heem, Thomas Heim, too fine, Thomas Haim, whatever the hell your name is, dude. Screw you. Screw you. I was gonna say something more mean, but I'm gonna try to hold back.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, just hold you can you don't have to hold back when we get to the segment under this one.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah, I'm saving it for that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I know you are. We'll post it for him to see. Um Tyler Breeze, new champion. Yes, new NGW world champion.

SPEAKER_00

Which means we'll see him again as long as we're there for the next show.

SPEAKER_01

Hopefully, I hope we do. And that was the third party ball, too. I can't imagine how the other ones were.

SPEAKER_00

I dude, I know. And also, I do want to point this out too. So, one of the biggest things I was excited about for that show was Mance Warner was going to be there. Well, Saturday, standing in line for the Innovate show, it was posted that Mance wasn't gonna make it to the show to the party bowl. And I was like, bro, that was like the biggest reason. Yes. That was I was like, that's one of the biggest reasons I was wanting to go. Well, fast forward to Sunday. We're leaving the show. I look on uh look on Facebook. Old Mancer was at double or nothing. So all the bitching I did, I take it back. Well, you got you you got to see Tyler Brees. I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm highly satisfied, but I gotta see Old Mancer at least.

SPEAKER_01

What if we didn't go?

SPEAKER_00

We would have missed out on so much.

SPEAKER_01

Because you guys said, and the only reason we was gonna go is because of Mance Warner. And I was like, we're going to this show. We didn't come down here for two shows, we came down here for three.

SPEAKER_00

And that was the correct decision. Yeah. That was a responsible decision.

SPEAKER_01

It was.

SPEAKER_00

The baby of the group making the responsible decisions.

SPEAKER_01

I know wrestling.

SPEAKER_00

You do.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

I mean, they had candy, they had really good hot dogs actually. They had good hot dogs, really.

SPEAKER_00

Really good hot dogs. Pretzels would have been good if they wasn't so damn salty.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

That was my first ever any show.

You can call us all the hillbillies and hicks you want, Sean. But I didn't make the point that we're both from the South.

SPEAKER_01

We are. He's from the North South.

SPEAKER_00

He can call us whatever, but he's just as big as a hillbilly as we are. But he is definitely more of a Yankee, him eyes. A yuppie. I'm excited to see you, Sean. I really am. I've missed you. And I cannot wait to be the best host you've ever had. And I'll just leave it at that. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

He's not the best in the world.

SPEAKER_00

Your name ain't Phil.

No.

SPEAKER_00

You might be the best in North Carolina. But you ain't gonna be in North Carolina, Sean. I promise you that.

SPEAKER_01

Javon Evans is from North Carolina.

SPEAKER_00

Well then he might not be the best in North Carolina.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe. Maybe he's not even good.

SPEAKER_00

Are you turning on Sean now?

SPEAKER_01

Maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Oh damn. I'm starting to hate on him. You might have some double trouble, Sean. Old Heavy D ain't here to kiss you ass.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'm I'm really starting to like not like him because of the stuff he's said about Birdo and all the other.

SPEAKER_00

Not just that. Bro acting like he's gonna lift 500 pounds.

SPEAKER_01

I know.

SPEAKER_00

In that promo. Where's the rap at, bro? Come on. Just one. Just give me one. Prove what kind of champion you are. I mean, because what's a champion who's weak as hell? Prove that you're the best in the state. Please.

Crazo with a KCW debut. Don't know his opponent yet. Stay tuned for that because we'll be reposting that everywhere.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, God, yeah. Sean Cruz. Versus the good doctor. The good doctor land in hell. Made by the decision of who?

SPEAKER_01

Berto.

SPEAKER_00

Once again, actually I'm on I'm on backpedal a little bit too. And I made this point on Facebook. It's a shame, but also funny. That the your main champion ain't trusted to make decisions like that. But you got someone who's out indefinitely on the IR making these kind of decisions. That that says a lot about who you are, whether you got the strap or not. Nah, am I right or am I right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you're right. You're right. 100%.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe it's because Jonathan doesn't like him. He has every right to.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Right. Or he has every right to not.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Same as me.

SPEAKER_01

I wish I wish he would have picked Party McFly, actually. Go back to KCW Ascension and you'll see our podcast that we recorded there, and Party McFly confronted Chunkers. Yes. Go back and watch that clip, and you'll know what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_00

And per usual, me and Sean had a few choiceful words. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't with Sean.

SPEAKER_00

Because I just sounds like you might know.

SPEAKER_01

No, it's it's not a hate.

SPEAKER_00

It's just You're just letting your emotions talk.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It's just a little bit of frustration because I love Berto. I do too. And I love the good doctor.

SPEAKER_00

And Mercy.

SPEAKER_01

And Mercy, yeah. I love Mercy.

SPEAKER_00

But she did get her get back.

SPEAKER_00

Even, I mean, and we don't the only match we know is is Sean versus Landon, right?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_00

Innovate expansion draft.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, is that the next week?

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Oh shoot. Yes. Which that just in itself innovates doing a draft a brand split. They're gonna be doing their their draft pick, the drafts that's like

Innovate Expansion Draft Brand Split

SPEAKER_00

Ron SmackDown. Yes. Which I reckon I don't know if it's ever been done on the indies or it's one of the first to do a brand split. That's gonna be wild. Josh Crawford announced for the IWF side, who was the owner and creator of the PWF that innovate uh like feuded with back in the day. Remember they got inducted to the Hall of Heroes? Yeah, yeah. So that's gonna be awesome. We're gonna get to see a glimpse of what PWF was for us that didn't know what it was.

SPEAKER_01

I wonder where the Illuminati's gonna go.

SPEAKER_00

That's a good question. I wonder if we're gonna get split up.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, shoot. Oh, that's a thing. Oh yeah. That's a thing, actually.

SPEAKER_00

But more to come for that in what, two weeks?

SPEAKER_01

Two weeks.

SPEAKER_00

You know? There could be a lot.

SPEAKER_01

No, let's say three weeks. Because KCW's in two weeks.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you're right. About three weeks. Three weeks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

June 20th, Saturday. I'm guessing. I'm guessing it's Saturday.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_01

Innovate. Expansion.

SPEAKER_00

Expansion draft.

SPEAKER_01

Expansion draft. Still gonna be an awesome show, I think. Oh yeah. Most of it's gonna be drafts, I guess. But there's still gonna be matches on the card, I'm guessing.

SPEAKER_00

I just can't wait to see what kind of stories get unlocked from because of the draft.

SPEAKER_01

I love a draft too.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I love a wrestling draft.

SPEAKER_00

So excited.

SPEAKER_01

That's that's big for innovate, actually.

SPEAKER_00

Like I said, that's big for an indie promotion in general, I think. It is crazy big.

SPEAKER_01

It's the first time I've seen it, actually.

SPEAKER_00

Me too. Like I said, it this couldn't this promo this could be the first time ever. It could. Like I don't know, I could be wrong, but I'm about positive. If not, it's one of the first.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Um we got any more indie talk.

SPEAKER_00

Honestly, I think we've indie'd our asses out. I think so too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Um so done with indie talk. I hate to be done with indie talk.

SPEAKER_00

I could talk indies 24-7.

SPEAKER_01

I love indies. But let's head on to a triple A.

SPEAKER_00

South of the border.

SPEAKER_01

A AAA match. One of the greatest matches we've ever seen.

SPEAKER_00

An American portraying a Mexican against a German. I think he's German.

SPEAKER_01

He's German.

SPEAKER_00

A German portraying

AAA Mask Match Madness

SPEAKER_00

American.

SPEAKER_01

No Russian.

SPEAKER_00

Russian.

SPEAKER_01

German. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I'm pretty sure he's German. I'm tired. A German portraying an American portraying a Mexican. In Mexico. What will probably go down as one of the greatest luchador mat matches ever with what started out as a joke.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And a bit.

SPEAKER_01

Both of them was a joke.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Bloodbig wasn't supposed to get over.

SPEAKER_00

None of that was supposed to. None of everything that's happened since El Grande Americano was born was not supposed to happen.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_00

No. And so we finally make it to the match. See, I've not got to watch the full mass match yet, but I've saw the highlights.

SPEAKER_01

I haven't either. I ain't watched the full match.

SPEAKER_00

But my God, from the highlights I've seen, it looked like one hell of a match. I'd say match of the match of the year candidate for sure.

SPEAKER_01

That's what everybody's saying.

SPEAKER_00

Match of the Year candidate for sure. You know, uh OG Americano won the match. So original. No, no, original. I got it, I got it back. Original got unmasked. Yeah, OG won an original had to take his mask off, which ended up being Chad Gable. Who would have thought?

SPEAKER_01

Nobody knew that.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, that that took me. I gasped.

SPEAKER_01

I thought it was uh I thought it was Titus O'Neill.

SPEAKER_00

I dude, I don't I was thinking it was like Curtis Axel or something. Yeah. You know. I don't know. But I thought it was Dan Housen or something. Which what was crazy, you know, Gable, well, OG came in. No original. Damn it. Original came in being booed and then walked out being loved.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

The promo he cut after taking the mask off was amazing.

SPEAKER_01

His son took it off too. Did you see that?

SPEAKER_00

Oh really?

SPEAKER_01

His son, his son, like, whenever they whenever Gable took his mask off, his son like took like because he wore a mask to his his chateau and his son like took That's cool.

SPEAKER_00

His mask off too. I didn't notice that. Yeah. That's cool as hell. Way to keep dude. Kid Kid gets the business. Yeah. He does. El Grande Jr. But yeah, that was from the looks of it, that was such a great match. I mean, that's that's one for the history books for Lucha Wrestling, for AAA, for WWE, hell for wrestling as a whole.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody's saying that too.

SPEAKER_00

I mean it, yeah. But fast forward the next day. It was clash of Italy.

SPEAKER_01

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

Life was very busy. I didn't get to watch the show.

SPEAKER_01

I didn't either. We didn't we didn't really care much about it anyway.

SPEAKER_00

True. Because it was all just about, it was just a rematch of WrestleMania.

WWE Notes And The Bloodline Talk

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. WrestleMania rematches just about.

SPEAKER_01

All I know is Brock hit Off Emmy with seven F5s. Which I will say watching highlights, it looked like it was pretty good.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I mean. And Roman won the tribal combat.

SPEAKER_01

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

So which I think everyone knew was going to happen.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I mean. But I'm not hating what it's leading to, which we also got to acknowledge too, the new uh women's intercontinental champion.

SPEAKER_01

Sol Ruka.

SPEAKER_00

Which is awesome and huge for her.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it is very big for her.

SPEAKER_00

Which I also wonder what where that leaves Becky.

SPEAKER_01

Hmm. It's a good question, actually.

SPEAKER_00

I don't but I mean, hell, it's Becky. She's she'll probably be in the world title picture now.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'd say.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, she she she put it she put a mark on that IC title. Like she she did she did her job with it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, she held it what, three times?

SPEAKER_00

I think two or three.

SPEAKER_01

I think so. Um didn't really care much about Clash in Italy. I didn't see anything on Rhea, Jade.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't either. Uh hell that's really about all I know was Brock won, Ruca won.

SPEAKER_01

Cody won.

SPEAKER_00

Oh Diddy. So I didn't Cody didn't win. I ain't even seen like highlights of that match.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Cody won.

SPEAKER_00

But then we fast forward to Raw. Fato acknowledged Roman and is now part of the buffline. Which may I point out, and it's being the talk right now, is the bloodline angle has been running longer than the NWO angle ran in WCW. I actually saw a list. I actually saw the list of everything it's been running longer than. The bloodline angle has been running longer than Abraham Lincoln's presidency. Oh my gosh. Yes.

SPEAKER_03

What?

SPEAKER_00

But again, with what I saw on Raw, though, I I'm not hating it yet. Because it's it's it's a fresh bloodline. Yeah. You know? So I'm I'm keeping an open mind to it. Keeping an open mind, you sleepy, ain't you?

SPEAKER_01

I am. I am sleepy. I don't know why either.

SPEAKER_00

But really, that's about all there is with the WWE talk right now. I mean we're I'm not very interested in WWE right now. We're I mean we're we're in the we're in our indie. We're in the king and queen of the ring tournament right now. I know that, yeah. For night of champions. And so really that's about the big stuff going on with them right now until Night of Champions.

SPEAKER_01

We're heavy on Indie right now.

SPEAKER_00

We always are. Always indies all day, every day. But really, I think our last thing. Per usual, we need to do a little bit of AEW talking.

SPEAKER_01

A little bit, yeah. We just want to talk a little bit about double or nothing. MJF won the world title.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Um was it Kyle Fletcher turned heel?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he returned and turned heel, I

AEW Double Or Nothing Check In

SPEAKER_00

reckon.

SPEAKER_01

That's what yeah, I did say that. Talking Sheet on the AEW's the international? International title, I think.

SPEAKER_00

They got so many damn titles now. I really think so many do. They got the international, they got the continental.

SPEAKER_01

There's so many of them. Which one did Orange Cassidy hold? I think Continental.

SPEAKER_00

I think, yeah. I think it was the Continental.

SPEAKER_01

And did I see anything else? I'm trying to think.

SPEAKER_00

It was well, the Stampede match was wild already. Oh, I heard that was wild. I've I've been waiting to find it to go watch it.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, um FTR or Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Edge uh Cope Edge Cope and whatever Christian's freaking name is. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.

SPEAKER_01

Adam Edge and Christian Cage beat FTR in an IQ match for the tag titles.

SPEAKER_00

Which is honestly amazing to see. They're over. Oh god, yeah. This will be the last time they ever hold tag titles together.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, 100%.

SPEAKER_00

You know, but it's it's great to see it before it's over.

SPEAKER_01

They'll both retire at the same time, probably.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, probably. Probably have like a kind of like the Dudleys did.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Uh FTR's. Yeah, FTR's pretty. I like FTR a lot.

SPEAKER_00

I've always liked FTR, honestly. I mean, even I I've liked him since WWE. Now I will say, the first time I saw Cash Wheeler, well, what's his name? His AEW name.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Dax and I don't Dax Hardwood is the bald one.

SPEAKER_03

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00

Cash Wheeler. I'm calling him calling him his WWE name. But when I first saw him do a 450, I was like, I thought this was what these guys were against. It was flippy shit. But yes. Happy to see Edge and Christian or Cope and Christian Cage with tag titles again. AEW, I mean, I don't keep up like with it like I should, but every time I see something, it's it's something, you know, good.

SPEAKER_01

I wish we could keep up with AEW.

SPEAKER_00

I know I really need to. I always forget that it's on HBO.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But you have pay, so.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I mean, I have HBO. And I just and I forget that you know I'll be watching a movie on a Wednesday or a TV show, and I'm like, dynamite's about over.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But no, uh AEW. I mean, I think AEW's people can hate on AEW all they want, but I mean every time I watch it, it's always something good.

SPEAKER_01

AEW's killing WWE right now, honestly. Yeah. Their matches are so much better. I mean, their promotions are so much better. Everything's just really good with AEW right now. Even though we can't watch it. But we do keep up with all of it on social media and stuff.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah. At least you know with what with what's popping over there.

SPEAKER_01

Any more AW talk?

SPEAKER_00

I'm sure there is, but I I don't have to.

SPEAKER_01
