AEW returns home to Daily's Place in Jacksonville for Dynamite this week! Kelson is joined by Sleezy and Alex for a fun analysis of Dynamite's Homecoming card. We expect to see a few plot twists - and perhaps a debut? Listen in to find out what we think could happen!

We also chat about wrestlers who may need more indie reps, the state of the commentary team, and what's going on between The Acclaimed (and Daddy Ass) and Bullet Club Gold!

Transcript

It's Tuesday night. You know what that means. It's time for Ignition with aw fan of I'm your host, Kelson. We've got Dynamite from Daily's Place and looking anybody has ever watched any of the historical Dytamites rampages from Daily's Place. One thing's for short, it's gonna happen tomorrow night. Two things are for sure that's gonna happen tomorrow night. One is that Sting for sure is

going to wrestle tomorrow night and retire at Revolution two. There's a very good chance we're going to see a debut or a return or some kind of listed a story that we didn't see coming. Well, we're going to talk about that later. Before we get to that, I do have something that I wanted to share with the community. After die, we do a podcast called All Lait Talk, and for the first time in a really long time, we're taking it to open mic. So join us for All Lead Talk right

after Dynamite, right here on the discord. We'll put the link and everything in the description for this podcast video or whatever you're watching this on or listening to this on. Join us tomorrow night, right after Dynamite and let's just have some fun. Let's just open up the mic and let's talk aw with aw fans. That's what this aw fan hub is all about. So let's get started. I'm here with Sleazy C and our brand new member of our

podcast team, Alex. And guess what I'm gonna throw Alex right at the fire, Sleezy. What do you think? What do you think? Yeah? I can tell by boys. Let's see. Let's see how good Alex is. Alex couple things, a couple of things wanted to talk about it, So talk about it. Let's get this going. Let's get this show on the road. First thing that I'm really intrigued about has been the the meeting between the Acclaimed and Bullet Club Gold. I know on Dynamite last week

we saw Bullet Club Gold get interrupted or sorry the other way. The Kingdom, the Undisputed Kingdom in Adam Cole. They got interrupted by Bullet Club Gold. Jay White. He was out to get revenge for the attack of the Devil and his goons from a few weeks prior or months prior, and they he brought out the ass Boys, who we hadn't seen for a while because

of the Continental Classic with Jay White. They made their way to the ring to fight with the Undisputed Kingdom and the numbers Game caught up to the Bullet Club Gold. Ward Low and the to the Undisputed Kingdom were beating them down and then the Acclaimed made their triumphant return, who we hadn't seen them since they were beaten by the Devil and his goons and Anthony Bowens was thrown through that glass window. So yeah, they came out. They made the save

for Bullet Club. The Undisputed Kingdom was outside of the ring. The Acclaimed and Bullet Club Gold were all in the ring together. The crowds started chanting for Scissor Scissor Yes, and it was an awesome moment. And then the heel Bullet Club Gold just kind of looked at the Acclaim and left the ring. Yeah, yeah, and I thought that was an awesome moment. Yeah, it was an awesome moment. But do you think there's a future with that? And so why why do you think there may be a future with

a team with Bullet Club Gold and he Acclaimed? Well, I think yeah, we saw on collision kind of the continuation of that and Anthony Bowen's in a backstage segment basically said to the Bullet Club Gold, Jay White and the Ass Boys, He said, you know, there's factions are a big part of aw and having people behind you is a big way to get ahead, so you know, maybe we should join forces. And Jay White seemed to

kind of scoff at it. But Austin Gunn was like, said to Renee afterwards, He's like, you know, maybe that was a yeah, yeah, and yeah. I mean these two groups they have a lot of history and I didn't think of that when when it first happened on Dynamite, but there's a lot of history between you know, the Acclaimed and Bullet Club Gold. So Alex, yeah, we had Bullet Club Gold and the Acclaimed out there, and you know what, it does make a little bit of sense

because they do have one thing in common. Juice Robinson is not there because of an injury, and Daddy Ass is kind of not there because he's basically on the road to retirement. He he's not interested in traveling anymore. He doesn't want to be that guy that spends time away from his family, you know, and his home life. It's fortunate there his two sons, but it would be neat if him and his sons kind of got back together for a run here, because honestly, I don't see Daddy Ass being with the

company two years from now. You're at least not in the in the in the active rig presence in championship matches where I do see Austin and Colton being in there. You know, do you kind of agree with that? Yeah? No, absolutely, Yeah, I don't. I see Daddy Ass having you know, a good year left. And I think he does want to be there with his son and I think he's proud of them and wants to be there with him, but also probably not too close, like he wants

to let them do their own thing. He'd his shot. Yeah, he doesn't want to live vicariously through his sons, and I think that's one of the points why he's with the Acclaimed is because he would have overshadowed his sons

in every way, shape or form. Another thing. I just think that Bullet Club Gold has been a bit stagnant in terms of you know, they they haven't reached that next level that I do think they can because I think everybody in Bullo Club Gold is great and I think the Acclaimed after winning the Trios titles, They've just kind of been meandering and not doing a whole lot. So I think putting these two groups together, in my opinion, is

just potentially unlocks so much more for both these groups. And I could see them being like the biggest stable in aew if they put them together, just because everyone in that group is so much fun. They say crazy things like Max Caster with his raps, Juice Robinson with his ad libs. I just think there's so much potential with that parent right, Yeah, I mean, would you agree to bulla club Gold is missing Juice Robinson's presence right now.

Absolutely, He's a huge part of what makes them fun. I think Jay

White's kind of dry just on his own. Yeah, I mean, he's not meant to be He's meant to be the leader, I guess and the mouthpiece in a serious tone for the group, whereas Austin and Colton and especially Jus Robinson are meant to be the entertainers, where that's not not the role, I guess is the best way to put it at Jay Whites in Yeah, but I feel like he has that in him, Like if there's instances you can watch on YouTube where he's doing like press conferences with for Wressell Kingdom

or for like New Japan, where there's no filter and they just say whatever they want. And he's pretty crazy and pretty funny and just as out there as Juce Robinson is. But you haven't really seen that side of him in ae W and he has been kind of you know, generics maybe not the right word, but pretty pretty, you know, straight laced. Yeah, So I have to say something here is that I'm very proud of myself because I actually called Juice Robinson by his name, which I don't normally do.

No. I I came up with the dick daved like as soon as he debuted, as soon as Juice debuted in AW, and I never call him Juice Robinson anymore. I have Nick David, Juice Robinson, Muppet, Jesus muppet. Okay, when you look at him, you would look like if Rover and Jesus had a baby, it would look like Juice Robinson. So that's just the reason. I just have to bring that up because I'm because people that have listened to this podcast before and are like, what is he

talking? What is Kelson talking about Juice? Who? Oh yeah, muppet Jesus, that guy. Yeah, I mean I've even put Muppet Jesus in our videos and stuff like that, so you know, it's just he's Muppet Jesus to me, and that's that. And I'm going to keep saying it till it catches on. Muppet Jesus. Yeah, I don't want to say some of the nicknames that I have for wrestlers in case it did catch on and then they heard about it and came after me, because well, look

at it this way. If you came, if I wait for the Muppet Jesus a w branded T shirt, and I'm gonna make I'm gonna say, look, this is looking listen to our podcasts. I dubbed him up at Jesus back in July of last year or June of twenty twenty three. I deserve a take on this. You give me one cent for every ten churchs you sell, and I'll take my ten dollars and I'll leave. And I'm imagining, I'm imagining someone puts together like a photoshop picture of Rover with like

Jesus's hair and robes. I would do it, do that for you, Yeah, I would do it. Anyway, Let's move on. You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it the Sleazy for his one of his segments here, Sleazy because you had something that you wanted to talk about, So let's have you talk about it and we'll talk about it. Yeah. So there's something really important that people tend to not talk about in the world of AW and that's the importance of indie reps. Here's the deal. Some of

these wrestlers they just get signed with no indie reps. I've made I've put together a list here of all the wrestlers who I believe right now they need more indie reps. So the first one and the most necessary, number one priority for indie reps is Parker Boortdoa, the former law the former member of the totally successful faction of Trustbusters. He has he was only in the WWA for like five seconds, then he was in AW. He's been nowhere else.

He needs those reps desperately, especially after the last match he had where it sounded like he injured himself, he injured his tag partner and almost injured the people who they were facing. Uh. Now, I'm just gonna go down the list here a bit fastcause you know, we can't talk about this for eight hours. Hook, Nick Wayne Abdon, Kiera Hogan, Layla Hirsch and and one of aw's newest signs. And this might be a bit controversial,

but I think Mariah May needs more indie reps. I know, she had that crazy run in stardom where I check age match, she had ninety nine matches in stardom. But just because you had ninety nine matches in one company, that does not mean you're ready. Okay, get you got to get out there with more indie companies. You know, travel around, see

see what works, see what doesn't. You know. So those are the people who I believe need the indie reps right now at the moment, and then they can come back to TV and then they'll be a lot better than they are now. That was kind of surprise that you said. Hook. Yeah, speaking speaking of which, I feel like I need to explain what is the moment? Why is indie reps so important? First off, it

gets you the thing you need the most ring experience. If you're on like let's say you're signed to AW free example for a real quick example, you're signed to AW, but they're not putting you on television I mean, at least in AAW you have the opportunity to at least go to some and go to indie shows whenever you want, with few exceptions, because it deals with whatever, and the fact of the matter is you need to take advantage of that time to get those indie reps in and improve your ring work. Maybe

face against like let's say you're a regular brawler wrestler or whatever. Take the chance to work with some lu cha doors, take a chance to work with some technical wrestlers. Take a chance to maybe go to All Japan Pro Wrestling and wrestle against guys over there. You know, being able to get out in the indies and wrestle plenty of wrestlers with plenty of different styles will teach

you what you need to know in the ring. And more importantly, it'll because like here's the other thing, AW right now has had a bit of a problem with injuries, and having more experience in the ring with all those styles, given how diverse the AW roster is, will definitely help decrease the amount of injuries. It's not gonna permanently stop them, because of course, it's it's a business, you know, wrestling injuries happen all the time.

Yeah, but that kind of wrestling experience is needed now. The other thing is, you know, you might be able to learn how to tell a good story to the point where you'll be able to get up into the car or maybe find a good place where you are. You know, just indies help raise your stock unless you're in the WWE. But other than that,

you know, in these can can help raise your stock. Like let's say you had a really good run with the CMML CML Mexican National Heavyweight Championship, which, by the way, is the oldest championship in the history of professional wrestling, like the oldest active one, older than NWA nineteen thirty three. So anyway, the fact of the matter is like, let's say you had a crazy run with that. With that, everyone went, whoa, that is so cool? In awc's that, I'm like, you know what,

this guy's been working pretty hard. Sign him and then you get and then you get all that opportunity and stuff. But that doesn't mean to stop going to the indies as soon as you get aw Yeah, I'm do you go to indie shows, Alex? I mean, what do you think about this? It's been a while since I've been to an indie show. I have been watching. I signed up for Fight Plus they had a boxing day deal,

so I have been watching some more GCW and MLW. Yeah, I definitely agree with some of the names you listed, Like abd On, I think it's pretty apparent that she could get some more reps under her belt. Same with Layla Hirsh a couple of names that like Nick Wayne, I find that a little surprising because he's like an indie darling in my mind, and he's had years and years of indie reps. I feel like, like since he's been old enough to legally wrestle, So I find that a little surprising.

And I'd be surprised if he's not actively on the indie So maybe he's taking a break, I guess. Yeah. The other name that comes to mind when you're talking about indie reps is Jade Cargill, And I know she's not with the company anymore, but that's somebody who you like, who stands out as someone that really would have benefited from indie reps. And I think now that she's gone to the other company that they they feel like she needs

more time in the oven. Yeah, I mean that's one of the problems, especially with the women's division, that I think Tony Kahn has run into is that he was using AWTV as indie reps for his wrestlers. Let's face it, I totally agree with what s Leasy about abad On. You can also say the same thing. Not currently maybe, but they could have used it when they had the opportunity to use it. Anna j Julia Hart know there. You know, I think Julia Harden especially is has reached the point

where she's a a a good professional wrestler right now. I mean, she can hold her own. Added j. I doesn't. I don't think Anna Jay gets the credit for how good she is. Kiera Hogan there's another one that's definitely used. You know, uh when Kiera Hogan's on when she did her r OH run, I mean she was really good at r o H. But you know, then she comes to AW she gets jobbed out. Kind of a weird thing because Athena is the same way she's doing fantastics.

She's a champion, she's she's busted up chops all over AW. She comes to all over r o H. She comes to AW and she gets beat. Let's just face it, aw AW uses Athena as Kennon fodder. I think I feel like Athena is going to be treated better next time she comes up, because yeah, she's made herself undeniable and ring of honor, and I think all the fans realize that. And when she does show up again on actual AW proper, you're gonna get treated a lot better for sure.

Okay, moving right along, Sleazy, there was another topic that you wanted to talk about. Yes, I want to talk about the current state of

commentary. You know, as we enter Aw's I believe fifth year, you know it's good to maybe take a bit of stock at the current state of the commentary because commentary, you know, it's a very important part of the show, and if you don't have good commentary, then you're not really gonna either get excited for what's going on or you might not even understand what's going

on. So first, I want to review the current commentators. And I'm specifically talking like people who are consistently on the table, So no Mark Henry, no Ian Roccobby or whatever he's down Bomby. I'm specifically talking collision rampage in Dynamite. First off, Jr. He's I'm gonna be honest, he's being kind of non existent un commentary. Oh yeah, it's JR. For a few seconds, and then he doesn't really seem to add much anymore. I Mean, the dude's seventy two's and he's on the He has to be

on the tail end Man second off ex Caliber. He is essential to the AEW experience. Okay, when I think of AW commentary, one of the first people I think of is Excalibur Man. He is the play by play guy, especially way back during that specific All Out twenty twenty two, or at least the build up to it, when he had to do the you know, play by play trying to say all the matches for that pay review.

He literally lost his breath halfway through. But it was a valiant effort just to try and you know, play by play all the matches that are going to be happening on All Out, you know. So for a play by play guy to nearly get through all the matches before losing your bread, especially in the experience he has, that's pretty impressive. He sounded like he was about to give himself an aneurysm. You know, he just he would not take a breath. He was just he was running on fumes. Put

it that way. Yeah, but it was admirable how he tried. So, now here's this guy who's carrying commentary right now. It's Tats. It is clearly tas. His voice is just you know, it's it's clearly heard. He's always trying to, you know, be a professional about things now, even with you know, the certain biases to a certain belt. But anyway, other than that, you know, he's very analytical and keeps the whole table together. He is carrying the booth right now. Then we have

Tony Schiavanni. He's pretty much the work course of everything. You know, he's there, he's you know, we see him as a bit of a punching bag. But except for the times where he's like, all right, listen up, you pricks, you know, but other than that, you

know, he's pretty much the workhorse of aw. I love Tony Schavanni, but I also hate him on commentary and that like a lot of the things he says are just He's often saying, oh, that's the first time I've seen that, and then it's something I've seen like a week ago or two weeks ago, and I know he was on commentary. It's like, I feel like almost ninety percent of the things that Tony Schiavanni says is like, I'm just my jaws on the floor, like what is this guy talking about?

But I love him and he is just like in the woven into the fabric of aew and special shout out to when he's in the ring doing those in ring interviews and the person's inevitably mean to him and the way that his body just kind of like ring, which is pretty good. Yeah, I will finish your list, all right. So the final on my list is Kevin Kelly. He's just quiet and all. Honestly, I'm not saying that's

a bad thing. You know, quiet commentators, you know, as long as they're with the right mix of commentators, can be a good thing. You know, they're they're they're quiet, but you know they also say stuff, and you know you always need the guy who's quiet but also says stuff in a commentary table like in Aw's company. Right now, So that's the list. Now what I need to talk about is the future. Here's you, miss Nigel. Did you mention Nigel Mcgainno, No, he didn't mention

Nigel. Oh he's the number one with a silver bullet. Oh well, okay, look before things get a bit off the rails with that, I need to mention the other point of commentary that I needed to bring up tonight. It's the future of AW commentary. Let's face the facts, okay. Ian is their youngest commentator at age thirty six, Tony Shavani is sixty six,

Jim Ross is seventy two, Kevin Kelly is fifty six. So you know, it's it's quite clear, you know, you need to start prepping potential new guys to maybe you'll come in and you know, start speaking on the speaking on the booth too. And there are plenty of candidates as we've seen last week during Dynamite, like Eddie Kingston and Matt Minard and you know, but even before this when AW Dark and Dark Elevation Worthing, Paul White

and Matt Minard were burning it down on commentary, everybody loved it. I know, I want the ones to love that. They were great together. They just had they had a report. It just could be beat. Yeah exactly. You know, so I think right now AW definitely needs to start preparing future commentators on the commentary table is it's very important, especially given what I just said about those ages man, especially Jim Ross. I mean, it's not like he's gonna be gone from aw entirely, as he still has

plenty of the bring to the business in general. But the fact of the matter is, you know, in terms of the commentary booth, there's gonna be a time where he has to take a swig of barbecue saw us lay down the hat and loop off into the Cowboys sunset and be like bard Well sleazy. Based on what you said, you're the gist that I get of it is you think the TAZ is the MVP of the the commentary team right

now? Yes, I honestly think he's the MVP carrying right now. That's that's not to say that everybody else sucks, you know, He's just he's just carrying the booth and bringing it and bringing it to New Heights this year and in the tail ends of last year too. Alex, who do you think is the MVP right now of the of the commentary team. Yeah, for me, it's it's definitely been Nigel McGinnis. I just think he's like found himself as the heel commentator. I love all his bits with like worshiping

Christian Cage. He's just been so much fun and clam digger Brian Danielson. All yeah, that's great, never never missing an opportunity to put Brian Danielson down. I love it. Yeah. I mean, here's my opinion. When you look at somebody like Excalibur and Tony Shavani, I could also throw Taz into that mix as well. The one thing that they give you is consistency. They're gonna have their off nights, sure, but more often than not, they're on their game and they're good. I don't feel like Nigel

has that yet, but he's getting there. Kevin Kelly left his commentary duties for n JPW a few months back, and somebody on the aw fan hub subreddit started a pretty interesting conversation saying, shout out to Kevin Kelly for the work he's been doing. That's helped him a lot leaving NJPW because he's been doing a lot better. He could talk about the wrestlers with more knowledge now. Because he's not traveling eighteen hours every week back and forth to do these

different shows, he's able to study the product. He is more knowledgeable now about the wrestlers and the product that's being sold into the ring. In the ring, he's actually gotten a lot more funny. And I really do think having the third man on collision, Tony Shavanni on collision, has helped Kevin Kelly a lot because Shavanni has been able to shoulder a lot at the load

that Kevin Kelly just couldn't do, you know. And that's fine. I mean, I prefer a three man team because the dynamic between Kevin Kelly, Tony Shavanni and Nigel are is working right now. Where Kevin Kelly and Nigel didn't work. Ian Ricabonni was better, you know. But Ian Ricabonni he doesn't want to do all that traveling. So yeah, I tho's what it is. My favorite was, Yeah, Ian Ricabonni and Nigel. I just thought that was spectacular. But yeah, I think I think everybody would say

that they especially at the beginning collision. Ian Rickabonni was the man. He was. He just did a fantastic job. As I alluded to earlier in the podcast, we are having Dynamite from Daily's place this week, and if you've looked at the history of Daily's place. We've had so much going on at this particular venue. FTR, I believe was debuted at Daily's places.

FTR debuted at Daily's place. Sting debuted at Daily's place, and I want to I mean, we're talking and the man that dynamite is being produced for as a tribute to tomorrow night in memory of the Exalted One, mister Brodie Lee, Rest in peace, Rest in peace, brother, miss you a

lot. There's a really good video on YouTube right now, produced by All EAT Wrestling, so you can see it on the All Eat Wrestling YouTube channel, and it's like over an hour, and it's like an hour and forty nine minutes long, and it's basically, well it's not basically it is a retrospect of AW at Daily's place. And it's definitely worth the watch because you look at some of the most important things that have happened in AAW have happened

at Daily's place. Like I said, returns, debuts, just stories, literal stories have happened at Daily's place. So that brings us to this. I have the match card up on the screen, fellows, so you can look at it, and there are a few matches on here that don't look like they're special at face value, but when you dig a deeper dive into it, there is some kind of really interesting Daily Place esque value to these matches. Does anybody see anything in these matches that stands out to you right

away? Or do you want me to point one out? The one thing that stands out to me is that men's four way match. Yeah, and I did see it mentioned on Reddit, so I think that's what put the idea in my head. It's not entirely original, but you see Preston Vance in the Yeah, yes, and he one thing I know about Preston Vance, and I'm sure we all know, is that he's very closely tied with Minus one, Brodie Lee's son, and that match it does look like who

would have put all these guys together. I don't know if it was Tony Kahan, maybe it was booked by Minus one. It was definitely Tony Kahn, but I think he edited mine. Maybe he went the negative one and asked him like, who do you want to see in this match? And I feel like those four guys Edge Orange Cassidy sort of Adam Copeland, Orange Cassidy, Dustin Rhodes Preston vanced. I feel like those four guys were put

together by by a negative one. I mean, at first I was gonna say, wait, you do know that Preston Advance isn't in the dark order anymore? Right, But then you meant from an IRL perspective, I was like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. So anyway in terms of me, you know, probable unpredictability within the card, I mean, I'm gonna have to go with the Klonio and Hangman thing.

It's like, what the Heck's going on there? As the BCC versus Hangman Adam Page thing being rekindled, or is it just further descent into this new story arc of Hangman where he's just crazy and wants to beat the crap out of everyone always missing as an exploding barbed wire death match to fix it. You know. So the fact of the matter is what the heck is? Where the heck is his storyline going to be going from here before the match,

during the match, after the match, you know? But yeah, yeah, but this whole card, you know, it does present aw continuing to blur the lines of where people are in their islands of their story pockets and instead, it's just all one island and everyone's beating the crap out of each other, and I love it. Well, I want to revisit the eight man tag match because there's a couple of things that people have been pointing

out on social media that is very true. We're talking about a show that is meant as a I wouldn't say a tribute, but it is a memory of the Exalted One, mister Brodie Lee. And if you look at this

card, there's no Dark Order members on this card. I was just about to say so, but then you have a former Dark Order member who is a member of l FI currently who have not been on the screen at all, you know, But you have a former Dark Order member in this eight man tag match, and he's kind of like one of these things doesn't belong here because Preston Advance is a heel and he's on the team with three of

the strongest babyfaces, pure babyfaces in aw's Men divisions right now. So here's my spicy prediction is that we're going to see Dark Order during this match. We're going to see Negative One during this match, and I think you're gonna see an emotional moment between prest Advance and Negative One. And my spicy prediction of this match is that before before Preston Vance goes to the back and goes

into the locker room, he's going to do two things. He's gonna hug and apologize to Negative One, and before he goes to the back, he will be wearing his mask again. And the Dark Order is going to be complete and they're going to start seting Belign another storyline for new members of the Dark Order to come in, because you can't talk about Daily's place in AW,

especially the early days of AAW without talking about Dark Order. Yes, and have a have a show and memory of Presst Advance without Dark Order involvement is preposterous to even consider. So I'm very in that prediction. I am very confident and most that most of my prediction is going to come true. Do you guys have any thoughts of things? Yes? So do you think that Preston V is going to continue to be a member of the Dark Order

after that? I think that the storyline is going to point in that direction. Now, whether it comes true or not is well, let's face it, Preston Advance was doing very well with Dark Order when they was allowed to do something. He's not really done anything with LFI, and he kind of looks like an outsider with LFI where he looks like he belongs in Dark Order and Negative One. He's you know, he's getting up there at age what is he thirteen? Now? You know he's going to start getting involved a

little bit more as time goes on. I mean, he's not traveling with them every week, but he's going to show up, you know, from time to time. And this is a perfect time to bring Preston Vance back into the Dark Order. And I honestly believe that that's going to happen. Mm hmm, yeah. I know, like Russia is injured and so he's going to be off TV for a while. And agree that Preston Dvance doesn't really fit in LFI. It's kind of like a square peg in a round

hole. So yeah, I do like that idea. And Stu Grayson he's been MIA, so maybe that's an opportunity for him to show up again. I like it. I'm I would be happy if what you predicted happened. All right. So then there's another match that a lot of people are talking about on social media. That's the Women's eight Women Tag Match. Look at

this and tell me that this is not intriguing. You've got thunder Rosa, Chris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, and Anna j of all people, kind of similar to similar to prest Advance. Anna Jay is kind of the odd woman out in there. She's been a heel, but here she is on the babyface team. And then you got Julia Hart, Sky Blue and Ruby Soho. Now keep in mind a couple of things. Did we or did we not see Anna Jay kind of paling around elbow to elbow with Sorea for a

few weeks there until Harley Cameron stepped in. We did, And don't forget with the you're gonna probably see Harley Cameron with the heel team on this one. Obviously, hope Stokely Hathway has been involved or trying to get involved in the storyline with Chris Statlander. So I think you'll see Stokely Hathway for sure tomorrow night. Maybe there's gonna be a rift between Statlander and Willow Nightingale. There's we know that we've seen it that it looks like Sire is about the

backstab Ruby Soho. So that's another angle that you're looking there's so much going on here that Lander lost her title to Julia Hall Art the TBS title to Julia Hart, who did not pin stat Lander. You have two former women's World champions, Soireya and thunder Rosa in this match, I fully expect. I mean, there's so many things that could happen after the badge or even during the match. Yeah sorry, Jelo Parker, Angelo Parker appearance or one

of my wife's personal favorite angles going on right now. Yeah, well, everybody loves a good romance, and you know, you know, so between this Angela Parker, Ruby so and Samy Guvara and Chris Jericho, the romance is in the air because, let's face it, the romance between MGF and Adam Cole is over now why rest in peace? But anyway, here's the thing, I mean, not only just looking at the combatants in the match,

there's so many things that make sense to happen. You could have Tony Storm come out and confront Soirea and Ruby Soho for the obvious to portrayal that's going on there with Harley Cameron and whatnot. Thunder Ross probably ticked off at at Tony Storm because remember Tony Storm won the tournament to win the end at the time, the interim Women's World Championship that thunder Rosa never lost. So we can go the whole I am the real Women's World champion thing. We

can go that route. I don't know, I don't well, it'd be a pink X but you know, but it's the kind of storyline that Tony Khan probably would want to go go do because he just told me, right. And and then you've got Diana Parozzo, who I would see all this and say, no, I'm calling out Tony's you know, and you know, Chris Statler's out there and she's saying I'm a world championship contender as well, and will Nightingale probably say what about me? But I'm the former TBS

championship. You just had the ohen you know kind of thing. So I think you can see a rift between Dan Lander and uh Willow developed last Tomorrow night. And then of course you have every opportunity if Mercedes Monett is going to come out, Daily's place is the place that it's going to happen at, because that's what Tony Kahan does. So there in this match alone,

there is it's a convoluted mess. And don't forget Mariah Bay will probably be out there with Tony Storm, so there can be I mean, you're looking, there's eight women in this match, four on each team, but there's literally sixteen women in this match. It seems like because it's doubled. Yeah, you know what I mean, it's there's so much potential. I'm not saying that every one of these storylines by far, I'm not saying every one

of these storylines is going to pan out. But what I am saying is that there is a potential to do so much with the women's division tomorrow night. It's preposterous. Yeah, yeah, I love that. And I can just imagine in my head, you know, all these things happening, chaos in the ring, and then Mercedes Monet's music hits and she comes out and everyone's just like Wow. There's people that are excited by about Mercedes Monet,

and there's people that are not excited about Mercedes Bonett. I'm not excited. Well, you know, she's a big star. It's a big deal. You know, Mercedes Monet, she is probably one of the two or three women in the world who are most responsible for what women's wrestling is today. That's a fair statement. Yeah, and I think that that means something and it would be a big deal if she goes up. There's a few matches on this card that they've kind of make sense. They kind of don't look

at like Sabbi Gavar and Ricky Starks. Who benefits from winning this match and who who shouldn't can't afford to lose this match. I don't think either of them benefit or lose anything by winning or losing this match. This is just a match. I don't think it really matters because they're still gonna be Semi Gavar and Ricky Starks. Again, this may be a match that has some connotations to it. We've already took you know, Claudio casting you Only in

Hangman Adam Paige. That's a fairly random match with something that's going to happen there Claudio and casting only versus Adam Paige. That match, to me feels like Adam Page getting a win before he loses this we're of Strickland. That's what I see that as. But I could be wrong. It could go differently, but I feel like definitely out In Page is gonna win that. Then you have the what appears to be the main event, which is stacking

Darby Ellen against Kenoski Takeshta at Powerhouse Hobbs. But it's merit. I don't see this as a main event match, you know, but because it's daily place, it may be a main event match. Look, you know, here's the thing about this card. To me, You've got some really big names in this card. What about you, guys? Is there anything that stands out in this card that you're looking forward to the most or something that

you're like, I'm not really looking forward to this that much. Well, I mean, if I'm being completely honest, I mean nothing is jumping down at me per se. But you know, I mean it is interesting throughout the entirety of the card, and you know, it's an interesting Dynamite that I'm gonna catch this Wednesday night on Dynamite, right, And I'm I'm excited

for Ricky Starks versus Sammy Guvara. I think that's an exciting matchup. Well, I think they're two young aw Originals who are up and comers, and you know, Ricky Starks I'd like to see him go over, but I don't know. I think it's gonna just be an exciting, fun match. Well, that's fair enough. And then the Kenoski Takeshta and Powerhouse Hobbs versus Stinging Darby Allen. I think that match to me, just to get that follow up from Dynamite, that like amazing match between Takeshta and Darby Allen.

Just to see them in the ring again is gonna be awesome. And I guess unfortunately Stinging Darby Allen have to win just because thing never loses. But yeah, I think it'll be a good match just for in ring action. I don't know about the story coming out of it, but I'm excited for that as well. Do you think going into Revolution that they're going to plant the seed of doubt on that and go ahead and give him his first loss heading into that? Do you think his shoulders are going to be on the

map for a one two three at any time before a Revolution? No? I don't think so. Now what about you, Sleezy, No, No, I think it's better if this story is being came in undefeated and left undefeated. I think that's fair enough. And then we have Samoa Joe coming out, you know, and we'll hear from Samoa Joe, So we have no anything on that. Yeah, yeah, I guess they could be leading to him talking about Hook or maybe setting up a new feud for the next

pay per view. I don't know. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where they're going with that story, you know, what's interesting to be And it goes back to what Sleezy said earlier. We saw a Hook call out Saboa Joe for a AW Men's World Championship title, you know match, and yet then Sleazy says that Hook can use some indie reps. So Sleazy, are you saying there that you're kind of like me and looking at the Hook and Samoa Joe prospective match with a what kind of attitude? It's not with

the what kind of attitude? It's more of a oh god, Hook needs indie reps. He's not ready kind of outlook, you know, because I mean, don't get me wrong, he has the FTW Championship, but the fact of the matter is he still needs those damn reps and he's not ready. If AW is planning on Hook versus Saboa Joe for revolution, is that a smart move or a bad move? And that is not the correct move to do. All right, What about you, Alex, what you think

of that? To me, that's that's like a dynam My main match. That's not a pay per view match. I really hope they don't, right, I agree with you. I mean, I have nothing against Hook, you know, but he's not a main eventor yet. If you're gonna have Samoa Joe be a viable world champion, you gotta put him with main eventors Adam Copland. You know, it is a good face to face him,

even Darby Allen, if you want to go that route. And that's actually, yeah, you bring that up. That's kind of one a thought that's been in my brain because this is the big thing revolution pay per view and having that main event was Sting in Darby Allen's corner after whatever Sting matches earlier in the night, and Darby Allen winning the title off Samoa Joe and they have history too, that could be like an awesome moment things mentorship like realized.

I have a funny suspicion. I have a strong suspicion that we're gonna be enlightened tomorrow night with several things that maybe some of us didn't even see coming. Because it's looking at this card. It just it. It's an odd card, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm just like, looking at Preston Vance on on the baby Face team and Anna j on a Babyface team, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see Preston Vance

and Anna Jay rejoined the Dark Order tomorrow. All right, then, Well for Sleazy C and for Alex, this has been Ignition with aw fan Hub. Good Night, everybody,
