today's Saturday news Kenny Omega is undergoing surgery

0:50

very soon. Took tail is in Ring career

0:52

may actually be over. We've got an update

0:54

on Sami Guevara's AEW suspension. And we've got

0:57

an update on the sky blue situation. Are

0:59

you ready? Are you ready for the news

1:01

time? It's my name is Phil Chambers and

1:03

I'm joined by Gareth Morgan to talk all

1:06

things wrestling news on this fine Saturday. But

1:08

what is up first? The Battle Cry, Kenny

1:10

Omega. It is. It is. That's what we're

1:13

doing right now. We're doing some Kenny Omega

1:15

stuff because he was on his Twitch stream.

1:17

And he's been talking about a lot of stuff.

1:20

He's been a busy boy. Obviously recently he got

1:22

battered by the elite. And then he's been setting

1:24

up anarchy in the arena matches. He's been a

1:26

busy old guy and he's about to get a

1:28

little bit busier because he revealed that he's very

1:31

soon going to be heading into surgery. He's dealing

1:33

with a doctor who said it's like really in demand. It's

1:36

hard to get an appointment with him. But it's because he's

1:38

like the top of his field. One of the best doctors

1:40

in the world from the sounds of it. Like when it

1:42

comes to this kind of stuff and

1:44

he's going to have that surgery. And

1:47

he's like pleasantly well, he's quite

1:49

optimistic about it all because there was a

1:51

point and he goes into detail on his

1:53

stream about this. There was a point that

1:55

way genuinely thought this is going to

1:57

be it. He's probably going to have to retire because I think he got

1:59

an information. from, I think he said

2:01

somewhere in Orlando where he'd probably seen the specialist,

2:03

whatever it was, and the information he got there was

2:05

making him think, oh, this might be it, this

2:07

is a bit scary. But then

2:09

he's gone and spoke to this different doctor,

2:12

this wonderful new doctor, who

2:14

like laid out the plan really for this

2:16

surgery, this procedure, and from the looks of

2:18

it, there's even a chance he might actually

2:20

get back to like an early

2:23

AW form. Kenny Omega is

2:25

the way he described it. He was like, he's really

2:27

optimistic. He was like, this actually could put me in

2:29

a better position than what it was maybe the last

2:31

time I came back, which is crazy. He

2:33

also said that he mentioned it was a big old night stream, obviously.

2:35

So he was talking about a lot of the stuff. He was saying

2:38

he's probably going to have to step away from the streams for a

2:40

little bit while he's recovering, which is understandable. We're

2:42

having a big old major operation on the

2:44

diverticulitis and all that stuff. He's probably going

2:46

to be out of commission for a little

2:48

bit. And he

2:51

said that he probably

2:53

like he didn't realize at the time, but obviously he

2:55

had those he had the hernia, didn't he? Like in

2:57

all the different surgeries. And he said that the pain

2:59

that he had in his stomach, he just assumed that

3:01

it was that hernia. Obviously, he had that for like

3:03

a while really throughout his AW run. But

3:06

now he's looking back and he's thinking, well,

3:08

that could have been the diverticulitis actually. So

3:10

he could have been dealing with this for

3:12

years really, like early stages of it. And

3:15

that's quite scary in itself really. He's just

3:17

been wrestling five star classics, potentially dealing with

3:19

diverticulitis, madness. Absolutely madness.

3:21

He's a super human. And then

3:23

the last like major thing that I took

3:25

away from all this is the fact that

3:28

he was talking about potentially repackaging. He's like

3:30

the Kenny Omega character, Kenny Omega in general.

3:32

For when he does come back, he said,

3:34

and this is one of his quotes, he

3:36

said, I want to come back differently and

3:39

bring something new to the table. A lot

3:41

of same these days. It's making me sick.

3:43

So there you go. That's how Kenny put

3:45

it. So loads really to unpack from that

3:47

Twitch stream. But I think the most important

3:49

thing is just we want Kenny Omega to

3:51

get back to as great a

3:53

health as he can be. Really. He's never going to be in

3:55

his prime again. He's never going to be having the insane matches

3:57

that he was having in New Japan. But as long as it's

3:59

fit. and healthy and able to do what he wants to do

4:01

to the level that he wants to do it, that is fine

4:03

by me. Yeah, absolutely. I

4:06

think like the wrestling side of things is

4:08

completely separate to the actual health and being

4:10

able to live your life side, I think.

4:12

So hopefully this does wonders for him. And

4:15

yeah, he can get back to stuff. Yeah,

4:17

as strong as he can possibly be. I

4:19

mean, he's a madman, obviously. We already know

4:21

this from like his age, possibly wrestling with

4:24

diverticulators, but yeah, anyway, but like when he

4:26

was talking about how he was used to

4:28

wrestle with buddy Vertigo and he just sort

4:30

of figured out a new and famous way

4:33

of dealing with the whole world spinning around

4:35

him while he's doing crazy dives to the outside

4:37

of the ring. He couldn't lift weights as well

4:39

at one point. He couldn't lift a weight because

4:41

of his shoulder, but he was just, yeah, power

4:44

slams, everything else. Like, I'm just a one-winging angel,

4:46

but I can't lift a weight. Insane. Insane. Ridiculous.

4:48

So we know he's a super-human at the best

4:50

of times. Sorry, you have no doubt that he'll

4:52

get through this, but yeah, it's just best of

4:54

luck to Kenny Omega, hope he gets

4:57

the surgery that he needs. And yeah, like

4:59

that promo that he cut on dynamite, it

5:01

just gives you a taste for

5:04

what could still be with Kenny Omega

5:06

and coming back to that some top

5:08

guys. When he was talking about getting

5:11

jealous of other people being called the best in

5:13

the world. Yeah, that's the Kenny Omega. We need

5:15

back in the ring, God damn it. So hopefully

5:17

we get that very, very soon. But

5:20

speaking of other types of injuries and things

5:22

and still in AWW, Chuck Taylor

5:25

is unfortunate, very unfortunate, that his aiming career might

5:27

actually be over. Now, he's only wrestled one match

5:29

this year and it was the parking lot ball

5:31

against Trent Beretta. And at the end of the

5:34

match, Trent attacked the

5:36

already injured ankle of

5:38

Chuck Taylor and felt like it might

5:40

have just been a way of him

5:42

sort of writing him out storylines for

5:44

a little bit to either get an

5:46

injury sorted or come back and lead

5:48

to another match of Chuck versus Trent

5:51

Beretta. But on dynamite, Owens Cassidy announced

5:54

that Chuck Taylor may never wrestle again.

5:56

Now, obviously still could have been part

5:58

of an angle but the The Wrestling

6:00

Observer newsletter has a bit of an

6:02

update on it and it does all

6:04

seem very legitimate and he may actually

6:06

be done with in-ring wrestling. Now this

6:08

week's Dynamite Excalibur also explains that because

6:10

of the fracture Chuck has bone necrosis

6:13

which is the death of the bone

6:15

and in this case it's fragments of

6:17

the bone that have broken up underneath

6:19

his cartilage in his ankle. But

6:22

the Wrestling Observer reports that even with a

6:24

surgery like that it's likely that he might

6:26

not actually be able to come back from

6:28

this. It's actually the same injury that ended

6:30

Billy Graham's career back in the day

6:33

with similar issues in his

6:35

ankle and hip at the same time. There's

6:39

pounds. Salads generally for most

7:48

people are the easy button, right? For me,

7:50

that wasn't an option. I never really was

7:53

am. But Noom worked for me. Get

Real Noom user compensated to provide their story. In

four weeks, the typical Noom user can expect to

8:05

lose one to two pounds per week. Individual results

8:08

may vary. Now

8:12

that sucks, obviously. Chuck Taylor is an

8:14

AW original. He's been there from the

8:16

very beginning. He whistles on the first

8:18

Double or Nothing pay-per-view. I'm personally a

8:20

massive fat Chuck Taylor from back in

8:23

the PWG and Chikara days. He

8:25

is hilarious. He is fantastic. Yeah,

8:29

it just sucks. And I really hope that you can

8:31

get the surgery. And it doesn't actually mean the end.

8:33

Obviously, we're seeing quite a lot of people in

8:36

recent years come back from what was

8:38

supposed to be career-ending injuries. So you

8:40

can never say never in this

8:42

crazy world of wrestling. But it does seem like

8:45

bad news for Chuck Taylor. And yeah, all

8:47

our best wishes, sending Nova to Chris

8:50

Chuck Taylor, absolutely suck. So here, yeah.

8:52

Yeah, just suck. Yeah, there's

8:54

not much more to add, really. Like you

8:56

said, Chuck E.T. is an hilarious

8:59

guy, a hell of a performer as well on

9:01

his day in between the ropes. So it's a

9:03

sad voice. Again, it's one of those things that

9:05

is your health, first and foremost. Make sure you're

9:08

in the best place you can possibly be and then the

9:10

wrestling comes after. And the face, aren't they? You'd

9:12

like to imagine with AW because, like you said, he's

9:14

an AW original. He's done so much for the company.

9:16

He's given so much body over to the company. You'd

9:19

like to think that they'll look after him.

9:21

So yeah, wishing him all the best. But

9:24

keeping an AW, like all the AW stories

9:26

today, Sami Gavara was obviously

9:28

a bit of a high-profile suspension recently. Suspension

9:30

went down after he'd had that match with

9:32

Jeff Hardy. That was in February. And he

9:35

did like, I think it was a shooting

9:37

style press and landed his knee onto like,

9:40

onto Jeff Hardy's face, broke his nose. It

9:42

was, I think people thought it was

9:44

a concussion. Obviously, in the moment, they thought it was

9:46

a concussion. So they tried to do concussion broke gold

9:48

and like go through that. But then Gavara just carried

9:50

on and hit his finisher, which is like whatever, go

9:53

to hell, whatever it is. So like, he knees him

9:55

in the head and then he pinned him. So it

9:57

was all a bit like, oh, maybe you shouldn't to

10:00

spend him after for doing that. So that was

10:02

all done. And then up until like a few

10:05

days ago I believe that he was still suspended

10:07

so people were thinking like oh, what's going on

10:09

with Tommy? But now now the rest of them

10:11

deserve a newsletter the latest one has said that

10:13

it looks like that suspensions over and Meltzer

10:16

also reported that there has been stuff pitched

10:18

to there's been stuff pitched but nothing confirmed

10:20

in terms of like being cycled back into

10:22

storylines and things like that. So we're not

10:24

really sure Exactly when or

10:26

where he's gonna pop up an AW like

10:29

when that happens But yeah, it

10:31

looks like it's it's done now. This obviously isn't

10:33

the first time it's been suspended It was suspended

10:35

in 2020 after some pretty Awful

10:38

comments came out that either he'd said on a

10:41

podcast thing in 2016 about Mercedes money He'd obviously

10:43

now worse in AW. Oh Like

10:46

went down the obviously serve the suspension for that

10:48

and now this this was his second one He's

10:50

not serve that so we'll just see Yeah,

10:52

see what the future holds for the Spanish God Yeah,

10:56

absolutely. I think the Jeff Hardy

10:58

situation was obviously stupid But

11:01

also wasn't 100% Sammy's fault Like

11:04

this AW probably should have just stepped in and

11:06

not that much straight away as soon as they

11:09

knew that happened And so it's I

11:11

think there's quite a few people to blame probably within

11:13

that thing I've a lot to wait and see what

11:15

happens to Sammy Guevara coming back I do wonder if

11:17

it might be because it's been sort of

11:19

quite a long time and it's been quiet for a long

11:21

time maybe they Decided to then

11:23

tie it into some kind of storyline and they

11:25

bring it in with the sort of EVP use

11:28

Unsustending him or something. You never know.

11:30

They might be able to tie it in that way But

11:33

we'll have to wait and see what's next for Sammy Guevara and they

11:35

eat of you I guess but speaking of AW

11:38

Finally, and we have a little bit of an

11:40

update on the sky blue situation now at the

11:42

ring of honor taping which happened after dynamite This

11:45

week there was a fan at ringside that just

11:47

started some absolutely horrible comments towards sky blue And

11:50

it took sort of a bit with

11:52

some stepping in and eventually being able

11:54

to get the security So I took

11:56

him out to get it to stop

11:58

basically several of wrestlers have

12:01

spoken out about this since, especially after one

12:03

absolute idiot fan on Twitter said that it

12:05

was because Skydle was showing too much skin,

12:07

which is the stupidest thing you can possibly

12:10

imagine. Because it's wrestling, if anything, the women

12:12

wear a lot more clothes than the guys

12:14

do, like Randy Orton, he wears far less

12:16

clothes every single day and doesn't get any

12:18

of these comments, so shut up, that's a

12:21

really, really stupid take. But

12:23

hopefully, a lot of wrestlers

12:26

have been speaking out about it, and hopefully

12:28

this means that some good will come out

12:30

of what is a terrible or

12:32

crappy situation that is not a

12:34

one-off situation either, this happens a

12:36

lot. So hopefully, yes, some good

12:38

can come out of this, and people can

12:41

become more aware of this as an

12:43

issue, and hopefully then people

12:45

will lend support to female

12:47

wrestlers and female people in their crowds

12:49

as well, in the future when other

12:51

situations like this arise. Skyblimp has now

12:53

tweeted out, just saying, I am beyond

12:55

overwhelmed with all the love and support,

12:57

thank you everyone, you have no idea

13:00

how much it's appreciated, let's make sure

13:02

the future generations of women wrestlers don't

13:04

have to deal with this shit. So

13:10

yeah, like I say, hopefully this just

13:12

shines a light on what is a

13:14

crappy situation that has been going on

13:16

for absolutely ages, and to anyone that

13:18

doesn't get how hard it could

13:20

be to be a woman sometimes, or just

13:22

in general, just in life, not in, like,

13:24

just within this kind of massively male-dominated

13:26

area that is wrestling and wrestling fandom,

13:28

just to hope that any of your

13:30

female friends or family, I promise you,

13:33

every single one of them will have

13:35

similar stories, about men being assholes and

13:37

sharing wrestling fandom, it happens all the

13:39

time, so be kind to each other,

13:41

but also, call out asshole behaviour when you see it, because

13:44

it's the only way that this will actually come to an

13:46

end in any way, shape or form. So yeah,

13:48

just be good to each other, stop being

13:50

assholes, it's my biggest takeaway from this. Yeah,

13:53

there's never too late as well, just to

13:55

stop, like if you have been in the

13:57

past and you've said stupid stuff, you've just,

14:00

Bit of an idiot. Never too late, just

14:02

stop. Just stop now. You're watching the video,

14:04

stop. Stop right now. It's just

14:06

not cool. And yeah, like you said Phil, there's

14:08

not much more to add on top of that.

14:10

It's awful. All

14:12

these incredibly talented performers are getting, having to

14:15

just experience it and deal with this crap

14:18

really, isn't it? Like they still went on in 2024. So

14:21

amazing that they've all handled it with such

14:24

grace and class. Like again, just rising above

14:26

it because they are just better than the

14:28

people who are frigging doing it,

14:30

aren't they? They've been sending out these awful

14:32

messages and awful words. So screw them and

14:35

just all the best to Sky Blue and

14:37

everyone else who's had to deal with

14:39

this stuff over the years. That's my

14:41

message of support right there. Absolutely.

14:44
