Tyler FornessHOST
during the pandemic which i find both curious and not curious at the same time willow was one of them and in our circles people have been talking about willow for a couple years being like she's got something she's got that bailey baby face energy and she does which is not something you usually see and especially not somebody that is built like a powerhouse That kind of baby face energy in a powerhouse type of wrestler is rare, and that's what Willow is.
Tyler FornessHOST
But she talked about how Andy would always glow about her matches to Tony Khan and be like, you need to bring this person in.
Tyler FornessHOST
You need to push them.
Tyler FornessHOST
They need to be a focus of this women's division.
13 MINS LATER
Tyler FornessHOST
I absolutely loved it.
Tyler FornessHOST
This was...
Tyler FornessHOST
It felt like Tony Khan finally listened to Wrestling Ether and fixed some of the big issues.
Tyler FornessHOST
without really taking the bad faithers opinions on it, which he's done before.
Chino LiaoHOST
here? I like how you brought this up because I was also, You know, I saw the same pay-per-view you guys saw.
Chino LiaoHOST
And when I was watching the main event, then nung nanalo na si Will Ospreay, parang nagbago na din yung opinion ko on how AEW, and I guess by extension, Tony Khan, tells his stories.
Chino LiaoHOST
Because, you know, I've been on record saying na hindi siya magaling magkwento.
Chino LiaoHOST
Like, at all.
35 MINS LATER
Emil NateHOST
Not everything needs to be a two-nighter.
Chino LiaoHOST
Yeah.
Ro MoranHOST
Although, Tony Khan would have booked the same thing, except he would have just thrown everything in one night and do five hours.
Emil NateHOST
It's literally the same philosophy.
David ShoemakerHOST
Tell, tell us what you were talking about.
Bruce BaldwinPANELIST
Oh, I remember there was the reports that Tony Khan was trying to get Mike Tenay to come do, uh-
David ShoemakerHOST
Oh, that's right.
David ShoemakerHOST
That's right

Kazeem FamuyideHOST
the, the final straw
David ShoemakerHOST
...
David ShoemakerHOST
I don't think it, I don't think it was a big deal, but I will say if I were Tony Khan, I probably would've waited six months before I had them cross paths with Orange Cassidy.
David ShoemakerHOST
I think, I think they're doing a good job of establishing them as a little bit more serious and legit and whatever, and that distinction I think matters.
Jonathan CoachmanHOST
[laughs]
JD from New YorkHOST
Tony Khan didn't do any of that and just said, "You know what? WWE is having Worlds Collide in Chicago.
JD from New YorkHOST
I'm gonna announce a big main event with some story behind it.
JD from New YorkHOST
There you go, and that's all I have to do."
Jonathan CoachmanHOST
So to get to the casual fan, what do you gotta do? You gotta explain and give me a backstory as to why this makes sense.
Jonathan CoachmanHOST
Number two, I will also say this is why you need an authoritative figure.
Jonathan CoachmanHOST
Tony Khan refuses.
Jonathan CoachmanHOST
He doesn't want one.
SP3HOST
You go to him for your TV and movie reviews.
SP3HOST
You go to him for his honest criticisms of Tony Khan and All Elite Wrestling.
SP3HOST
And you go to him for his amazing Yankee fittings.
SP3HOST
He is the one, the only, Jimmy Macaram.
27 MINS LATER
SP3HOST
And yeah, you can probably consider Charlotte, Alexa, and Tatum a faction, but once again, that's an all-women's faction.
Jimmy MacramHOST
I agree.
Jimmy MacramHOST
You and Tony Khan made me see the light.
SP3HOST
No, no, no. I'm not saying it in that way.
Chris PetersenHOST
Yeah, I wish they did more.
Chris PetersenHOST
Like, I wish Tony Khan, like, had them do more.
Johnny NarrowHOST
I feel like they were owed it for the time they put in, and they were workhorses for the company.
Johnny NarrowHOST
Can you guys
Jason HoranHOST
Anyway, shout out, Buffalo Man, talented guitarist.
Jason HoranHOST
Yeah, I wonder what they're going to do.
Chris PetersenHOST
Because I saw something today where it's like Tony Khan did like something, like a 10-bell salute and a little tribute at the beginning of the ROH tapings.
Chris PetersenHOST
But I assume they'll do one tomorrow.
Acefield RetroHOST
So of course, he did a great interview with Chris Van Vliet following his AEW World Championship victory against Kenny Omega at All In Wembley.
Acefield RetroHOST
Will Ospreay revealed that he has discussed several new match concepts with Tony Khan, and Will Ospreay's interest appears to be combining several existing formats and finding ways to introduce a stronger competitive structure.
Acefield RetroHOST
He went on to point out the Casino Gauntlet as an inspiration.
Acefield RetroHOST
The concept took familiar elements of the Royal Rumble, but fundamentally changed the strategy by allowing the match to end at any point without a sing- with a single fall.
Acefield RetroHOST
And I, the central hook, it could be understood immediately.
Acefield RetroHOST
I remember when they dropped it, Will Ospreay was in that match.
Acefield RetroHOST
But the intriguing part of this interview, and there's a lot of good c- good stuff here, I think whatever Will Ospreay and Tony Khan are discussing should probably have the same simplicity as the Casino Gauntlet.
Acefield RetroHOST
And Will Ospreay also had talked about his vision for this championship reign.
TC FontaineHOST
And he was there about six years.
TC FontaineHOST
So, yeah, like, honestly, if I'm, I don't know, I don't know what, like, basis he would have it, but, like, if I'm Tony Khan, I'm definitely looking into, you know, something that doesn't matter.
TC FontaineHOST
Oh,
Riq HavokHOST
for
Sat E NiangiHOST
It's kind of the thing of like when you make an investment with someone, you want to see it through to the end.
Sat E NiangiHOST
As you know, Tony Khan doesn't like releasing wrestlers.
Sat E NiangiHOST
And in terms of the fact that you said that, oh, Keith Lee and Swerve, the ship's kind of sailed.
Sat E NiangiHOST
I still feel like there's unfinished business there between the feud.
1 HR 18 MINS LATER
Jeremy LambertHOST
Yeah, like not all of it is great.
Jeremy LambertHOST
There's actually a lot of bad stuff, but I like bad wrestling.
Jeremy LambertHOST
You know, Tony Khan famously told me that my favorite match, he'd never heard anybody say that my favorite match was anybody's favorite match.
Jeremy LambertHOST
And that whole era is just some of my favorite stuff.
Alt JakeHOST
And so I was like, huh? And the, uh, John Moxley comes out with a Marina to do commentary on this match.
Alt JakeHOST
Cause Tony Khan says, ah, you're both already in the ring.
Alt JakeHOST
Have the match, which that's
GeorgeHOST
a WWE move.
