Wresters switching sides is a good thing. If you don't agree, let's fight.

0:04.0

For goodness sake, put your hands down, we're not even in the same room. But look at Cody Rose, look at Brian Danielsson, look at an Adam Copeland or look at Ethan Page. Each of these felt in their tum-tums. If I go to the other brand right now, I can probably have a little bit of a reset. That's exactly what happened. So I'm not saying it's a good thing, I'm not saying a bad thing, I'm saying sometimes it's just a cool thing.

0:23.0

We as fans should always enjoy the madness. So I am Simonella, the bald idiot. And here are people that could probably do this right now. If they want to, Bailey. So that's WW2AEW. Unless, finally, finally, W.W say, oh hello hello Bailey, we are going to treat you like a massive star.

0:40.3

Because people forget how much Bailey has actually done for women's wrestling in general or they just choose to forget it.

0:45.3

I mean, go through some of our all-time banger classic matches, they are super flipping good.

0:50.3

And sure yes, a lot of this has been spawned from the interview that Bailey did with Chris Van Vleet,

0:54.3

where she kind of acted like she was a little bit frustrated or a little bit down. But at the same time, she's a very smart worker, so she may be pulling the wool over eyes. We have to wait and see. Either way, though, Bailey going to AEW would do massive numbers because people would be so intrigued. I mean, not only could you go straight into the Mercedes-Mornais feud, which would feed generations,

1:12.5

but you've got Willow Nightingale, Chris Stalander, Tony Storm,

1:15.5

Thunder Rosa, Julia Hart, Charlie Cameron, do this all day. So once again, yes, when I break it all

1:20.1

down, I am just a fan, so I want to see Dream fights and right now, given the legacy that Bailey

1:25.1

has left, her going to All Elite Wrestling would open up the door for a ton of these.

1:29.4

Dare I say it would be forbidden.

1:30.9

And listen deep down to my tutsy toes, I don't think this is going to happen, but that's what I would have said about Cody Rhodes too.

1:37.0

We'd never say never. In Shinska Nakamura. People like to say that Shinska Nakamura is cooked.

1:42.3

Okay, maybe he is, but let's also remember for years

1:45.7

over in New Japan, he basically killed himself for our entertainment. If he wants a little bit of

1:51.3

downtime, even for a decade, good for that guy. Now it's fair to say that whatever he's meant to be

1:55.9

doing in WW, he does feel like it's ran its course. And if you go back to that US title feud at the end of 2024, I still don't really understand. Now as always, it depends what Shinska Nakamorik himself wants to do. But if he does want one last hurrah and he saw what happened with the end of Sting's career, well, I actually think he could become the new Sting in AEW and that's how we book him for his final few years.

2:17.5

I mean, once again, that's the best way to hit a reset and get a little bit more momentum. This is one of those again, you can just put Shinske Nakamura on one side of the bracket. And in terms of who he could face, well, it just goes on and on, obviously the top of that list would be Kenny Omega. I would cry. How many times before as well have we seen the veteran all of us?

2:35.5

I've just found some energy from nowhere where we're like, that's the guy we remember. So maybe he just needs a different environment. I mean, we've all been there too, you're struggling with work, you go for a walk, and then when you come back, you just feel refreshed. Can we even do smoke and mirrors? Because again, it did work with Sting.

2:52.4

If anybody that we're going to talk about today does deserve an amazing send-off,

2:56.2

it is Shinske Nakamura.
