Yep.
Adam WilbournHOST
21:40
Um, and out comes Kushida, uh, who says they all talk too much, and he's ready for Roderick Strong, and the match is set for next week.
Michael HamflettHOST
21:48
Ugh.
Michael HamflettHOST
21:49
Strong was just, like, a Diamond Mine guy, so-
Josh SmithHOST
62:33
But, um, I think there's a way to utilize him, but the days of Jeff Cobb going on a unprecedented undefeated monster streak in the G1, those days are gone.
Josh SmithHOST
62:47
I'm not saying he'll never have a push or hold a title, but it seems to me, and I've, I've said this before on the show and I'll say it again, is I think that he's being brought in as more of like a senior hand to work with young guys and take losses to them, and, um, you know, kinda fulfill a similar role that we saw with, um, Kushida when he made his return from, uh, uh, WWE.
Josh SmithHOST
63:12
But this Callum-Jeff Cobb feud, I hate to say it, man, but it is really fucking dead to me.
Josh SmithHOST
63:20
Um, Callum right now is doing some interesting things.
Joshua SmithHOST
61:30
Those days are gone.
Joshua SmithHOST
61:32
I'm not saying he'll never have a push or hold a title, but it seems to me, and I've, I've said this before on the show and I'll say it again is I think that he's being brought in as more of like a senior hand to work with young guys and take losses to them and, um, you know, kind of fulfill a similar role that we saw with, um, Kushida when he made his return from, uh, But this column, Jeff Cobb feud, I hate to say it, man, but it is really fucking dead to me.
Joshua SmithHOST
62:05
Callum right now is doing some interesting things.
Joshua SmithHOST
62:08
Like he's got like him and Will Ospreay, they've been trading barbs over, you know, the internet and on social media talking about who's the real leader of the United Empire.
AdamHOST
117:39
The very end of that sounded vaguely familiar.
SalHOST
117:43
It was Kushida's theme.
SalHOST
117:46
Okay.
SalHOST
117:47
Y'all remember Kushida, right?
AdamHOST
117:50
Y'all remember crazy Kushida?
SalHOST
117:52
All right.
SalHOST
117:55
Two more.
Kevin ScampoliHOST
35:08
So how is this equating to talent in your shitty fucking eyes?
GinoHOST
35:12
Again, I think it may have been more because of him paying in a partnership with Kushida, but I was thinking him and Kushida being a great tag team was able to prove that they had some moments where I was able to see like, okay, this guy has something.
GinoHOST
35:23
It might have been more that Kushida was able to have him be elevated by his time when they were a tag team.
Kevin ScampoliHOST
35:28
I'm so glad you brought up tag teams at least.
Kevin ScampoliHOST
35:30
We have Eric Bischoff making a statement on those tonight.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:38
And, you know, it's been a while since we've seen that.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:40
The last openweight challenger was Kushida when Takeshita was opening, was a champion.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:48
And before that, I don't even know what it would be before that.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:51
I know we've seen Gata Karomu do some openweight stuff.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:33
it's always fun when you have heavyweights and juniors mixing it up.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:36
And, you know, it's been a while since we've seen that last, um, open weight challenger was, uh, Kushida when the cash that was opening was, uh, was a champion.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:46
And before that, I don't even know what it would be before that.
Jeremy DonovanHOST
46:49
Um, I know we've seen, um, guys like Haromu do some open weight stuff.
TaylorHOST
4:38
And I mean, he did nothing, right?
KellyHOST
4:41
He was in the classic tag team Jacket Time with Kushida.
KellyHOST
4:47
Oh,
TaylorHOST
4:47
sure.
Taylor MaimbourgHOST
3:59
And I mean, he did nothing, right?
Kelly HarrassHOST
4:03
He was in the classic tag team Jacket Time with Kushida.
Kelly HarrassHOST
4:08
Oh,
Taylor MaimbourgHOST
4:08
sure.
Tom StoupHOST
35:00
And, yeah, I liked Lopez's involvement here.
Tom StoupHOST
35:04
I guess it just signals as much as I would like to say, like I agreed with you initially that he will probably cash in his contract for another shot at Kushida.
Tom StoupHOST
35:16
But it just I'm not sure that they want to co-mingle.
Tom StoupHOST
35:23
so much.
Tom StoupHOST
35:45
But, uh, but yeah, it continues to be so far so good for Hayes and, and, uh, and for Lopez.
Kelly WellsHOST
35:51
And Hayes could kind of be in the spot where they don't have to have that decided.
Kelly WellsHOST
35:57
They can do Kushida if that's what they want to do, but if they want to do North American, they will throw him in there and see if he sinks or swims.
Kelly WellsHOST
36:07
And that is something that they've talked about.
