03:13I can get to those in a future episode.
03:14Or just comment in whatever streaming platform you're getting our show on.
03:19And we are on pretty much all of them.
03:21You know, I could sit here and list a million of them.
03:22You know, YouTube, Rumble, Odyssey, Dailymotion, Podomatic, Podbean, Apple Podcasts, you name
03:28it, we're on it.
03:28Spreaker, you know, Discord.
03:31We're like all over the place.
03:32Blue Sky, Busby.
03:34I don't even know what Busby is.
03:35We're on Flipboard for heaven's sake.
03:37But wherever you're getting us, like, share, comment, and subscribe because that gets us
03:41into your logarithm, gets you information quicker.
03:43But if you want us to talk about something and you don't want to call into the sound offline,
03:46give us a comment there.
03:47I read every single comment that comes in for two reasons.
03:50One, you took the time to send it to me.
03:52I think I owe you the time to respond to it.
03:54Two, those questions, comments, and concerns can sometimes be what fuels another conversation
03:58in a future episode where we respond directly to your comments and questions.
04:02We'd love to get that going.
04:03However, this episode, I am Dr. Fro.
04:06We got some things to get into.
04:07Let's start with Self Made on X, a poster who talks about Danny Luna, former TNA superstar,
04:15former tag team in TNA, is headed to AEW, and that she, right now, is the favorite and
04:21expected to be the opponent, to be announced opponent for Persephone for the TBS championship
04:26at All Out this Saturday, tomorrow night.
04:29I think that's a solid get for them.
04:31I don't think it's as big as if Kyrie Sane was there.
04:34I do not expect Danny Luna to win the championship.
04:36It's a great signing.
04:38But Persephone is so over, so talented.
04:40And I don't think they're ready to push Persephone to the world championship yet, even though I
04:44think she should be at some point very soon.
04:46So with Danny Luna being the challenger, I think Persephone retains.
04:49But it will still be great to see a new talent show up in AEW.
04:53That being said, Fightful Select is talking about other people who will probably not be
05:00at All Out that people were hoping for.
05:02First off, Sheamus.
05:03He is not going to be there.
05:04According to Fightful Select, his contract at WWE, though he was told months ago they're
05:09not renewing because the offer they made to him was too low-balled and he rejected it.
05:13Technically, he's still under contract.
05:15So he can't be there, even though he probably would love to be.
05:18So Sheamus is out.
05:20From there, we get to Kyrie Sane, who has been a free agent for quite a while.
05:23And if she signs, they are talking.
05:26She does have an agent, I believe is Barry Blue.
05:28If she signs with him, she wants a dual contract.
05:31She wants to be able to work AEW, but also be able to work other places like Stardom and
05:34New Japan Pro Wrestling, where she has a history.
05:37So, I suspect there will be a dual contract offered to her.
05:40I suspect she'll probably sign it, unless she sees some avenue back to WWE.
05:43But after being burnt once and burnt twice, I mean, I think she's been released twice
05:47at this point.
05:47I don't know if I was her if I'd be going back anytime soon.
05:50I'd probably want to stay, you know, try something new, go to AEW, and really try to
05:54make WWE regret letting her go in the first place.
05:58From there, F4W Online, run by Dave Meltzer, talking about the big news yesterday that WWE
06:03main event is moving networks.
06:05It will now be going to Rumble.
06:07I mentioned Rumble earlier, because my show streams on Rumble as well.
06:10WWE main event heading to Rumble on Wednesday nights at 8pm.
06:14Why is this newsworthy, other than the fact that the show is moving in general?
06:17Well, because at 8 o'clock on Wednesday nights is when Evolve airs on Tubi.
06:22Is WWE going to run two programs against each other, counter-programming each other?
06:28But then again, Tubi has On Demand, as does Rumble.
06:32Do they continue to run both on Wednesday nights at 8 o'clock, or does this seem like
06:36the end of Evolve?
06:37And I understand why it could be the end, because WWE may be trying to cut costs and doesn't
06:41see the monetary benefit to having Evolve.
06:43I think it's a great program.
06:45I think it's a great place to see some of their younger talents really, you know, making
06:49their mark and trying to earn their way into NXT and eventually the main roster.
06:53And they've got some really talented ladies and gentlemen down there.
06:56So I'm hoping both programs are going to stay.
06:58I actually watched the main event for the first time the other day, and I was just wowed
07:02when they had Aerostar and Laredo Kid there wrestling in a tag team.
07:05Actually, there's some good stuff on those shows.
07:08So putting it on another platform, great idea.
07:10Maybe WWE is just trying to get as many, you know, streaming partners as they can to prevent
07:15AEW from maybe looking at that avenue, especially with the Warner Brothers Discovery merger coming
07:19up.
07:19And there's certain things that could be relevant there in terms of AEW being able to have distribution.
07:23Maybe this is a counter-programming thing as well.
07:25I don't know.
07:26Speaking of counter-programming, the big story for this episode, Andrew Baydala put out
07:32on X that Worlds Collide was not going to be streaming on YouTube.
07:36That was his original report.
07:38Now, nobody can corroborate this.
07:42Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer, was saying that he wasn't sure why WWE was like
07:47dragging their feet on discussing what was going on with Worlds Collide.
07:50And we all know, originally it was meant to be a counter-programming thing to hurt AEW
07:55all-out ticket sales, but that did not happen.
07:58All-out sold out.
07:59Now, what's strange to me is all-out sold out around 10,000 tickets.
08:02WWE's Worlds Collide actually sold like 13,000 tickets.
08:06So WWE actually sold more tickets for a AAA house show, basically, than AEW did for All-out.
08:12But that's partially because AEW set up an arena with only 10,000 tickets to begin with.
08:17If I'm AEW and it's one of your biggest shows of the year, why would you not go to a
08:2025,000-seat
08:21arena and try to sell that out?
08:23Now, I get it.
08:23These two companies seem to go to war over Chicago.
08:25Chicago is a hotbed for wrestling going back to the 80s.
08:28But this was interesting planning on WWE's part because I think they wanted to take away
08:32from ticket sales.
08:32That did not happen.
08:33So now, you know, you had a little bit of a teaser.
08:38JBL on the Something to Wrestle With podcast talked about how he had originally been asked
08:43to go to Chicago and was prepared to do that and then had those plans canceled.
08:47And that WWE English-speaking announcers are not going to Worlds Collide.
08:51And then we find out that there are also no AAA announcers headed to Worlds Collide.
08:56Well, how can we do a show and live stream it if there's no announcers?
08:59Are they going to remotely do this?
09:01No, that is not the case.
09:02We found out tonight, WWE posting on X, that Worlds Collide is going to stream on September
09:0830th.
09:09Now, here's why that's relevant.
09:11One, they didn't succeed at hurting AEW All Out.
09:14So why put it out on that night?
09:16You're going to get less people to buy the pay-per-view version of this or whatever,
09:20or stream it, because they're going to be busy watching All Out and you want to get the
09:23big number.
09:24So instead, September 30th is Wednesday night and Worlds Collide will be on television for
09:30an hour before Dynamite comes on.
09:33So now, instead of counter-programming All Out, they're counter-programming AEW Dynamite
09:37when they go to Pittsburgh for Britt Baker's return.
09:41Again, WWE with their counter-programming is huge.
09:44And I don't know why they waited this late.
09:46There's people who are going to be livid because they bought tickets expecting Worlds Collide
09:49to be a pay-per-view level quality event.
09:52And instead, they're going to get a taped show that the spoilers are going to get leaked,
09:56and then we're all going to know by Sunday night what's going on.
10:00And that's problematic.
10:01Actually, Saturday night we'll know what's going on because once the show ends, you know
10:04somebody's going to put the results online.
10:06So it takes away some of the luster from the event.
10:08I really wanted to see CM Punk and Omos in the ring at the same time.
10:12And I wanted to see it live on YouTube.
10:13Now, it's going to stream on YouTube on September 30th, so it's going to be free.
10:18But I really have a problem.
10:20And I actually thought they were going to put it on WWE's subscription service.
10:24That would have really frustrated people after the way they kind of sold the tickets to this.
10:29But I don't know.
10:29If I'm a Chicagoland area person, I'm thrilled still because I get to see it in person if I
10:33chose WWE over AEW.
10:35But if I'm a mainstream wrestling fan who watches all the brands, this is just petty nonsense
10:40at this point.
10:40You weren't successful knocking it all out.
10:44AEW diehards are who tune in every Wednesday for Dynamite anyways.
10:47People like you, like me, we tune in no matter what WWE is doing.
10:50And if it's going to be on YouTube, I can go back and watch it on YouTube later.
10:53I don't have to watch it live on Wednesday night.
10:55I'm going to still watch Dynamite and I'll watch the YouTube show later.
11:00That's just the way I approach it.
11:01I might start watching it the hour before Dynamite goes live.
11:05But once Dynamite's on, I'm turning the channel.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:07That's just the way it's going to be.
11:09For now, we're going to have to wait and see how this plays out.
11:11I hope they stop some of this counter-programming.
11:13It's not working.
11:13If you're going to do anything, help TNA WWE.
11:16Do the right thing.
11:17Help TNA if you really wanted to do something that may actually have an effect on AEW.
11:21That's just my take.
11:22That's all the time we have for this episode.
11:23Check back with us next episode.
