| 0:00.0 | So I'm not coming at this from a, like a realism point of view, like anything like that. |
| 0:05.0 | I'm seeing it more through the lens of like fantasy bucket than something that I'd like to see happen, whether it is possible. |
| 0:12.0 | I don't know, but I would like to see from the WW to A.W side of things, I'd like to see Gunter move over, or Walter, as he may be called, |
| 0:20.0 | if he goes back to to or if he goes into |
| 0:21.4 | AEW and goes out side of the WW walls again because I just feel like he's done everything |
| 0:26.0 | he's going to do at WW right now. It does feel like we're just going over the same ground of him |
| 0:30.9 | being really dominant, winning the title and then being the guy who's chased by everyone, |
| 0:35.8 | beating everyone up and just being the big boss that gets defeated and it's a big moment, yeah, when that happens, it's that diminishing returns thing now, the more that we do it, I just, I don't think we're going to get to the heights of the intercontinental championship win from Sammy Zane or the J Uso win, like anything like that. We're not going to get there. Again, I don't think we've come to, I like being proven wrong, but I don't see it. Dream matches wise, it's looking like we're going to get the Cina one. I'm not sure when this is going to drop, but it might have already happened, but it's looking like that's going to happen. That'll be interesting, but I'm not really bothered about the Brock match anymore. That's probably the only other really big one out there that we've not already seen. So maybe the Roman Reigns one at a push, |
| 1:12.8 | like cool, but then what? What do we do next? So I think him going to AEW, it would just be something fresh, a bit different. I'd love to see him just beating the piss out of people and properly purpling a few chess over there in AW. Maybe getting the world title over there. And doing, I know it sounds |
| 1:29.1 | silly, but doing something similar to what he's doing in AW would feel the same but different. You know what I mean? It's just a different environment for him to do it. And I'd love to see him, like being a foiled to like hangman and swerve and Osprey. Like I said, they're not worthy to be his ring it's sacred all the, all the rest of it. I'd love to see that in that world. I think it'd be an injection of something a bit different into that, that, that landscape, that AW landscape. So that's what I'd like to see going that way. AW to WWE, I want to see Moxley go back to WW, or. or Dean Ambrose or whatever the hell they call him. |
| 2:01.4 | They might call him John Moxley for all we, know. We've seen this kind of stuff happen. |
| 2:05.3 | Because that's another thing where I just want to see what it looks like now in this |
| 2:09.4 | WB landscaping under this new management. Does Moxley, I don't know, is he as successful |
| 2:17.4 | in WB as the Moxley? Did they let him be the Moxley i don't know is he as successful in wb like as the moxley did they let him be the |
| 2:20.2 | moxley character probably not as extreme or hardcore or bloody and all that kind of stuff but |
| 2:23.9 | did they let him be this version of this character there and how does that go down how does that |
| 2:30.0 | work in the with the shield dynamics all that kind of stuff. And we could see him in matches against |
| 2:36.0 | Bronbreaker. I'd just, I'd love to see him beat the hell out of Logan Paul. That'd be a fun time. That'd be really good. So I, maybe even just for the moment of that return of, wow, didn't think that was going to happen. Didn't think we'd ever see John Moxie back into it to be. I think that would be exciting in itself. |
| 2:50.3 | Moxie's another one similar to Gunter in AW. |
| 2:52.6 | I feel like he's done everything twice over. |
| 2:54.6 | And it looks like we're going back towards another babyface run. Fine. I don't see it hitting the peaks and the heights of what we've already seen as like for John Moxie's a baby face because like how could it is initial rise to being the champion and then being the ace of of AW. I just don't see it getting up there again. He's proving people wrong a lot over the years so he could prove me wrong. I hope he does. I like it. I like being proven wrong. But I don't see him. I think he needs a different, a different location, a different environment, even though it is one that he's been to before, but it's a very different DWB to the one that you left. So that would be interesting for me. That'd be exciting. So I want to see those trades, |
| 3:27.7 | those swappos. even though it is one that he's been to before, but it's a very different WD to the one that he left. So that would be interesting for me. That would be exciting. So I want to see those trades, those swapovers in 2026. Are they possible? Who knows? But I want to see it. It's a bit risky me doing these fantasy scenario videos because I risk running the entire audience off because really my ideal world's end main event is kenta versus the butcher |
