Hello there my very good friends on today’s wrestling news Chris Jericho gets knocked out backstage reaction to Tony Khan’s Twitter Ty raade WWE’s reaction to Kevin dun’s replacement and a big name was backstage at last night’s aew Dynamite I’m Adam wilbor and I’m Andy Murray and this is the news all

Right Chris Jericho got knocked out by MVP four years ago uh but hey look this is S A peculiar thing that I did expect to read this morning but I did so I’m making a video about it uh this comes to us from bodys slam. net it’s Cassidy

Haynes uh reporting that on the Jericho Cruise in January 2020 so almost exactly four years uh Jericho and MVP were involved in an altercation that cruise by the way was called Chris Jericho’s rocking wrestling rager at se part du second wave I remember that yeah catchy title

Uh things got heated in the altercation words weren’t exchanged and it escalated to the point of MVP knocking Chris Jericho out got you can do BJJ didn’t he that’s what happened this is it this is it silly sausage uh shaa fifel has noted that he’s heard this as well so there

You go I hear that a while ago now I just because like MVP and Chris Jericho don’t like each other let’s go over their previous uh shall we uh in June 2022 fightful select reported that mvp and Jericho’s relationship had broken down um this was over social and

Political issues which were made public on Twitter I wonder what those issues were with with the Jericho household um appropriate that it’s in January now as well this knockout but anyway uh the they they were they had a confrontation in a hotel in Houston it was after an aw

Taping or around an aw taping uh MVP approached Jericho and according to who you believe he either wanted to discuss their issues or handle them yes apparently he invited Jericho outside to to settle things AI then yeah to which Jericho apparently entered an elevator and said he doesn’t fight jobbers as the

Doors were closing which is a total coward move yeah um look the The Knockout was for years ago it’s unlikely that either of these men are still losing sleep over this still pretty well everyone was talking on socials when I woke up this morning same here it’s

Still pretty wild that a man got sent to the shadow realm on his own boat GE was yeah there not I wouldn’t like to wake up on a boat when being knocked out it feels rough enough anyway oh God yeah what a silly thing but on your own rock and wrestling rager

Pot dirt at C second wave knock the captain hat right off his off his head look Jericho man like obviously Jericho has been uh topic of conversation this year uh owing to uh some allegations that have come out that I don’t feel like we have enough uh concrete

Information on for us to really comment on obviously if they’re true they’re horrendous and uh things should happen there um but yeah he got knocked out by MVP as yeah and aw right now walking a bit of a tight rout with Jericho I felt it very obvious that when he did the

Runin on last night’s Dynamite they were like let’s keep playing Judith so people got hear the actual crowd reaction yeah I it’s a difficult one to gauge cuz like the audience like the audience sometimes are so forgiving when it comes to stuff like that um Rick Flair came out last

Night show as well let’s not forget Ric Flair threw a punch or two on that Jake Roberts threw a punch as well like that was fun old guy just knocking out Jose the assistant um or knocking him down or whatever but yeah there you go look if you don’t like Chris Jericho you’ll

Probably think this story is pretty funny yeah yeah I mean kind of yeah it’s his own boat okay let us know what you think down in the comments section below but uh speaking of talking trash Tony KH obviously everyone was talking about him just the other day after he fired off on

Everyone whether it be Jinder Mahal or just WWE booking in general or uh well Eric bishof of course um but the backstage reaction in aew is absolutely fine with regards to Tony G and being on Twitter a lot of people were I think this the phrase that sigil was uses bad

Faith actors were like oh man such a bad look for aw this and maybe they should get someone to take over his socials and you were like I love this yeah it’s great um according to bful select um no one’s really bothered it’s not a big big

Deal backstage and it wasn’t a heavy topic of conversation at last night’s tapings either you did also have Jinder Mahal on the bump uh yesterday I enjoyed this um obviously he has been a big topic of conversation since well he got the number one Contender shot against

Seth Rollins for next week on Raw that sparked everything with Tony KH etc etc along with cage ma conversations and blah BL we watch the news from the other day if you want know the full report but Jinder on the bump said it was a great

Start to the new year until I was interrupted by The Rock nonetheless this past week I was in the ring with Seth Rollins I told him exactly how I feel and now I’m number one Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship I was trending on Twitter all day yesterday

Laughs trending on Twitter all day uh today and somehow again the modern day Maharaja is the Talk of the Town very good very good kind of acknowledging it without mentioning it I liked his tweet like who is who that’s funny like why did you delete it Jinder that was it’s

One of those ones where I think it’s one he clear tongue and cheek isn’t it but some people were like actually he’s done pretty well for himself Ginder he knows who he is yeah this is it this is it look I love all this stuff I don’t care

Like I I don’t know how yesterday people were like Tony khah attacked Jinder he attacked the booking of him you didn’t go Jinder Mahal is a rubbish pro wrestler exactly people’s comprehension is just I know he said oh you put Jinder in a big match or whatever yeah but he’s

Talking about the booking he’s not sitting there Going’s rubbish yeah nonsense people are people I think people just like to be annoyed at Tony KH be annoyed at him right when he makes jokes about Vince McMahon and then signs Ric Flair that’s fair okay 100% but yeah

I love this stuff I I love him causing problems like it just it makes our job very easy on on a morning he’s a little stinker what should we talk about today oh the thing everyone online is talking about yeah why do we want a sport full

Of cherubs who just say boring stuff media trained professionalism I mean I’d care about professionalism if he was my boss or my employee but he’s not so are let’s go you you talk your trash Tony I love it man I love it right I interesting as well that I spent all day

Yesterday getting called an aw shill after December it was WWE shill internet I just wish people would conduct themselves better online to be honest Andy like Dana White what someone said to yesterday Kevin dun Kevin dun oh yes talk about Kevin dun right his replacement what’s his name again Lee fitting A fitting

Replacement yep verily uh his response has received a bit of a mixed reaction back in wwq now this isn’t doesn’t sound like it’s a consequence of people going I miss Kevin done which I don’t think is a thing no uh however there’s some concerns and I’ll go through them this

Is PW Insider Elite with the report noting that some people in WWE in the television and production departments were not frilled at a perceived Outsider here yeah entering the company uh and being positioned above them expressing a bit of concern of what might happen if fitting came in and said

Hey I want my people here not your people um that’s a bit more some people are taking a bit of a wait Andy approach which is should uh elsewhere there’s a group of people disappointed that WWE didn’t promote from within uh some people believe that a gentleman called

Chris Kaiser uh who’s WWE’s EX Executive Vice President of Television deserved the promotion instead dun left WWE formally on the 1st of January he’d been there for 40 years he of many camera Cuts uh a ban on many people’s existence uh be they viewers or former employees

Of the company I think that the change is positive from our perspective however if you’re a person in that department and you think maybe your job might be in trouble as a result of this understand yeah that’s the thing I I was sort of conflicted by this report because yes I

Understand that people are like well wait a second this guy’s not from around here and yeah he might want his own people in and what does that mean for me going forward exactly having said that I am kind of happy that they have brought someone from the outside in nothing

Against Chris Kaiser sure he’s a nice man yeah but I want someone who hasn’t been sat Under The Learning Tree of Kevin Dunn for the last few years because then they’ll just do knockoff Kevin Dunn stuff I already think that they you know I don’t know whe this is

Have no knowledge obviously whether this is actually part of it but like for example the the champer prr I mentioned the other day him walking through the back through gorilla cutting a br say we’re going to win the bloody tag titles and I’m going to win this match to get

Us that title shot just a nice change of pace and that’s what they need in terms of production for me in WWE yeah bit new spice bit new flavor um I’m looking forward to seeing the changes to the TV product for sure sticking backstage though backstage at last night’s a

Dynamite was a big name pack was back stage uh according to fight for select um a lot of people that haven’t been around in quite some time were at DA’s place including back he hasn’t wrestled since July of 2023 and even then he wrestled what six matches last year six matches yeah he

Came back wrestled three matches got injured again and off he went poor poor guy um significant injury problems in 2023 um fight will also not that when it comes to long-term aw injuries there’s often a long-term multi-show process of getting them cleared so it’s not like they brought him in backstage went

You’re right to work no okay well maybe won’t put you on rampage he’s not on rampage he not on collision well well not as of right now he’s not going to be on collision but yeah it’s a slow process and that I think it makes sense bringing backstage get them back around

The people see how they are face Toof face conversations Etc but Dave meltz I will say also reported that Pack’s comeback would happen soon good stuff hope he stays healthy right up well I don’t want it to happen immediately after this but I hope he stays healthy

Until August of next year because I want to see him at Wembley yeah definitely um spoke a little bit about PK on the Sunday news this past week uh covering his absence and like he had these three matches and he got hurt again he had that match with gravity that was like

The yes the B remember me you get it you get it uh and he’s just had a cursed year for sure um me uh and Phil uh and formerly of this Parish Amy rier were a far side gig in Newcastle last March and he walked past us and I was like where

Have you been for I didn’t say that because I didn’t want to bother him I was like where’s he been for three months he’s a Far Side concert I love it when you see pack in the wild in Newcastle me and Jack the job did that years ago we’re walking behind someone

We’re like you know from behind that guy looks like Neville from oh God it is yeah yeah he’s like he lives here so and it’s a small City so you might bump into him it’s pretty cool um I also realized I said he I hope he’s better till August

Of next year I’ve forgotten the year the New Years happened already oh my goodness yeah what’s happening um I’m looking for he’s one of the best in ring wrestlers in the world this run has just been a bit cursed with injuries and of course he likes to go home times and and

Chill with his family you cannot hate on that at all uh so get back soon pack hope you’re well did like his little videos at home during the Pand him in his filmography mate was just like yeah let make some kickass videos it was incredible because all those videos it

Was like I walk past that place on my way to work that’s beside the office I know those stairs yeah look at that bridge Newcastle small yeah right let’s move on to your uh gates are even smaller especially after the final defeat from Chester um let’s move on to your Twitter

Questions at what culture WWE of course you want to get in touch with us Andre Richardson starts off just with a question Andrew good morning jent hope you’re well I’m good how are you Andy mid with Naomi with Naomi possibly returning at the rumble do you think she

Will get the pep she did in 2020 also what does she do at Mania thanks have a great day was 2020 the year she came back and was awesome and they did nothing with yeah it was all over like it broke through into General Media yeah

I get my years mixed up cuz I’ve got no brain but yeah no she will she’ll get a pop for sure I think similar maybe bigger because like of the cirumstances of her departure uh the last time she’s also been gone a bit longer maybe there’ll be people who watch impact who

Are like hell yeah she was awesome over there so this will be cool I think uh she’s going to get a good run when she comes back I what she does at Mania though she’s not fighting for a world title it sounds dismissive to say put her in the Showcase because the women’s

Showcase was not as good as the men’s showcase last year but the men if they can do the women’s showcase to the level of the men’s one last year it was kind of a throwaway match and then it had awesome spots like Angelo Dawkin just going that from Braun stran yeah so yeah

Maybe something like that I don’t know yeah may just like you can make the Showcase better by putting better wrestlers in it Naomi is a good wrestler so hey and and have stories going into it rather than just here’s eight people uh some of them are tag teams for some

Reason I’ve seen people talking about potentially teaming her with uh with Jay Cargill as well I don’t know whether you want to make a tag team of that or a singles match or but you are spoil for choice and yeah she will break through the conversation yet again she’s awesome

And she’s going to do big things in 2024 even if doesn’t do something massive at Mania straight away looking forward to seeing her and Jordan Grace hard to kill this weekend of course yeah be fun probably a title loss for Naomi there why would sorry she’s not Naomi there uh

Felix Johnson gives us our next question uh also introducing us to Walter good boy Walter Legend uh Felix says should aw use D’s place as their permanent spot till ticket sales jump going to be hard to keep this up with the capacities they’ve been at and DA’s

Looked great last night no bad idea in my opinion it did look awesome no hate no hate but like they sold 3,000 tickets for 5 1 half thousand seater Arena last night it was half empty and if you sit there every week the Market’s going to

Get burned out and it’s going to get emptier and emptier and emptier yeah not everyone can get to yeah exactly like that’s not I don’t think that’s a viable solution I think that would make the problem worse um it would make the product seem colder it would be quieter

By the week because people would be burned out and they wouldn’t be going if you live in Jacksonville maybe you don’t want to spend $50 on going to wrestling every single week you know so no I make the problem much worse because the problem would the product would come off

As colder on TV which means people will be watching it so when they did return to other markets their perception would be this as cold as balls I’m not going yeah well how do they fix this do they just take a step back and go to smaller

Venues cuz they do can have that cauldron atmosphere a make the product hot again brother tell tell uh feuds and stuff that people are interested in present characters that people are interested in book matches that people are I feel like they’ve turned the corner into 2024 it’s literally all it

Is you you need a hot product you need stars that are popping and people are invested in um I do think they need to get back in touch a little bit with their identity and they’ve done a good job of that in the past few months with

The Continental classic in the past few weeks absolutely Dynamite last night really really good show really great show ups and downs later yes look out for Simon Miller he’s always here slapping the head um yeah just it it it’s complicated but it’s also really simple you need hot Stars so that’s what

They need to build or just keep false advertising Mercedes Monae I’m joking they didn’t all right people just chat about online and then people misinterpreted what Sean Ross sap said about Mercedes being 90 to 95% in aw he didn’t say that she was going to be

There 90 to 95% chance he just said yeah she’s probably going to sign with them but we also literally reported I think this week despite the fact she’s probably going to sign with aw it wasn’t going to be an arrival at homecoming but but people don’t use their brains this

Is it this is it like comprehension is dead I said yesterday just purely speculating oh T he went mad on Twitter he’s probably going to do something big on Dynamite like Mercedes or whatever like there a throwaway comment and immediately it’s like ah she going to be

There chill yeah just chill the other guys have got it’s just there you know they they’re in the no but they they you know they’re not journalists there’s only one of them left listen to me he is that’s my that’s my source the freaking e uh finally I’m going to get it’s Chris

Chris kbbl to sent this question but his name on Twitter is SOS distress from the mining ship Red Dwarf so I like that all right Che the question Chris morning chaps do you think an auton win at the rumble due to rock Shenanigans is the

Easy way to get to Roman versus Rock and have Cody finish the story against Orton or does Cody have to finish against Roman Cody has to finish against Roman for me 100% look do the Orton story later do it at SummerSlam do it at uh Berlin I don’t know do it somewhere ‘s

Already over right now that’s going to cool off and then he’s going to turn heel on on Cody and that’s a great story that he can lean on it’s going to whip ass as well because he’s an incredible heel um no he like keep it simple always

Keep it simple if it’s pro wrestling 99% of the time the best option is the most obvious option and the most obvious option is Cody rhs avenging that defeat from last year it’s pro wrestling the baby face should win in the end the vast majority of the times he has not beaten

Roman yet that’s how it should go down we mentioned Naomi I completely agree by the way so that’s why I’m moving on we mentioned Naomi a little bit earlier on I just wish somewh Andy would predict a video of all the women that could be in the women’s Royal Rumble match any

Chance that could be coming soon that would be amazing it’s coming later today I was going to point to it but it’s not up yet 7:45 tonight UK time 2:45 I wish there was one for the men’s then instead I can watch right now oh yeah there there’s

That I can give you that see you later bye have a nice oh we got news later yes see the afternoon oh lots of things watch them all yeah
