0:16.0

The sixth match of the best of seven series for that AEW Trio's title. So I'll start with you Tommy. What did you think of that match last night?

0:29.0

Exciting again added to this feud started in the back took it if I could use an old school pun took it to the extreme did a lot of crazy ass maneuvers.

0:43.0

Dives off of balconies and stuff and then I love when then it finally breaks out into the live audience you hear that eruption for what they're seeing and you know then the biggest dive off the top I mean there was there was so many big things happening and then I enjoyed what happened at the end one guy is trapped in a move and you know then Omega hits the one wing angel off of like the ramp through a table.

1:09.0

And gets the pin before his partner is going to tap out added to some drama added to some suspense and the live audience you get split how you're watching it but at home you can see everything how it was and the live audience liked it the crowd again was one of the biggest stars of AEW and they enjoyed it I believe it was a new market for them or they don't go there that much but it was really really.

1:37.0

I enjoyed the show but I really really enjoyed the latest episode or series of these matches I agree and the one thing though I would take away and I thought the match delivered and bully I want to get your take on what you thought of the match from last night I think we all knew this was going to go to the seventh match I mean even though there was a little bit of drama and obviously Tommy as you said the ending.

2:02.0

Of that match there's a lot of drama and a little bit of controversy I think we all knew at the end of the day this was going seven.

2:09.1

Well, we knew it because they announced where what the 7th generation would be once they did that they painted themselves in a corner but I wouldn't personally have done that but besides all that we've had some exciting amazing matches and I get it when you want to use it as a promotional tool but you know to say if it goes.

2:32.0

You know it's it's a foregone conclusion that it will go and it is yeah bully what'd you think overall agree with both you guys about an exciting match last night Dave I think me and you spoke about halfway through the show we were texting or might we might even been on the phone and I said it's just a good wrestling show so far because the front end of the show was just good wrestling matches in the middle of the ring.

3:02.0

Things were going really well and then we get this giant car crash I always say that there is definitely room on a two hour show or a three hour show for a match like that because a wrestling show should be like a giant buffet there should be a variety of everything and those six guys have been tearing it down doing a great job I like the split screen for the finish I love the one wing at angel off the balcony or whatever hell he was standing through the two.

3:32.0

Tables I thought it worked I like the fact that it was a false count anywhere match and the match started in the back yeah so that was that was cool and different good job by all six man I even took to social media said that was a hell of a car crash enjoyable fun live crowd ate it up and if you listen to the live crowd because it started in the back when those guys eventually spilled out into the arena huge pop yes people were so excited to see them out there.

4:01.8

So we get rid of the the typical entrances they thought outside of the box on that one and I'm sure this Esca Lera De La Huerta will be one hell of a ladder match and they have set themselves up for something so spectacular and if AEW ever had the balls to pull the string on it oh my god would it generate an immense.

4:31.8

amount of heat and go ahead tell us well you have Kenny standing at the top of the ladder you have Kenny and the bucks standing at the top of the ladders about to grab the trios championships whatever whatever scenario you create one of the elite is about to grab the championships and then somebody's going to ruin it for them who is it.

5:01.8

Hmm go ahead tell us no think think it's it's massive it's right there I said it's massive it's right there and if AEW ever had the balls to pull the string on it the elite standing at the top of the ladder but what you're saying almost is excuse the pun a pipe dream okay I get the pun but man would that be.

5:31.8

Amazing I mean Tommy I know this is something that's been talked about I know this is something that people speculate about is there a possibility of what bully saying actually happening and here's what I didn't even say it yet but we all know and I know you haven't said it yet but like but I know where you're going but but Tommy it's there like we talk about dynamite and we talk about how successful AEW's been but they need that I think we all agree that.

6:01.8

One big story that blows up that one big few that takes the company to the next level what bully is hinting at let's just say CM Punk what bully is hinting at here Tommy don't you think all those things would happen if everybody could do business listen we've talked about it in the course of the 13 years that this show has been on here people have gone through all hell of a lot.

6:31.8

Words then what happened that all out and have been able to sit down and do business could this ever happen could it ever happen absolutely it could happen would it ever happen don't know it is a great I mean just think of CM Punk versus Kenny Omega I mean that's a million dollar house that's that's big think of CM Punk and FTR versus Kenny Omega in the young bucks these are big.

7:01.8

Big things by the way I thought you were going to say you pushed a ladder off well you're you know you made you made a lot of money with ladders it also got me thinking of Christian Matt and Jeff all together in a in a ladders thing to get idea but Christians a heel plus I don't know the status of Jeff and Matt and Jeff will always be baby faces when you're put to if you know they're ever put together again.

7:31.8

It's it's it's gigantic money but then it's you know it breaks down to they have to you know do what's right for business and then you're going to get excuse me in a situation where you know Shawn Michaels bread heart.

7:48.5

If you know if that was it was we don't we got to experience how good because of how great they all were in the ring and the matches that they had but if you think about that end result was a massive black eye for the industry and yes we're still talking about it today but their careers and you and Dave and I have discussed this their careers were never the same once it ended.

8:19.5

So where do you go from that if it's a one off cool if it's it's hard and you know who knows because I mean we don't know all the end you know both sides to the story and then there really has to be like I don't know they'd have to be a mediator and then you I mean bully you know if there's when you're working if somebody feels someone's being too aggressive it'll break down.

8:43.8

If this was in Vince McMahon's hands and he was sitting in his boardroom or whatever and people saying Vince no way can't work can't work Vince would be the first one to say don't tell me how it can't work tell me how it can work and when you have an idea like this sitting right in front of you you I believe you owe it to yourself and you're come forget about yourself you owe it to your company and your business and you're earning potential to it.
