Crowd chanted "f the celtics" extremely loudly. That's why commentary said that. Don't lie about why it was said.
This.
What the hell is wrong with Legreca?
@@ElizaOrlinsStan legit chanted “f the Celtics” AND “f the Red Sox”
Yeah I heard that clearly as well, it was loud and even Mercedes stopped and looked at the crowd in disbelief, I couldn't understand what they meant with the whole "justifying the booing" thing from the commentators
@@davidmiruzzi7195she was being booed against others too. She’s not a baby face
6:23 that look from Mark let’s you know the amount of talks Thunder Rosa has had with them about Britt😬
💯% 🤣
The little smirk from Mark after Bully noticed got me, too.
Bubba never ceases to stagger me with how he looks at the biz!! Incredibly smart and passionate ✌️
bully ray should be hired as creative to book matches and stories he gives alot good story ideas
That’d mean that TK would have to accept/admit the need for help… and we all know he’d rather go down with the ship
@@NLaBar i hope not bully ray hes willing to work with aew theres no shame need of help
It's easy to do that from a distance, but if he was there in the moment, it wouldn't be so easy when the pressure is on. I do think he should give it a shot though if offered, but he is too loyal to WWE and Busted Open. WWE would blackball him if he worked at AEW.
Why wwe or tna didn’t hire bully ray as a creative ?
@@therev_sungyungmoon24correct man in distance is very easy .
Send this to her asap. Brilliant ideas bully
Britt is the only one who could get me to watch AEW again.
Can't wait for Jamie Hayter to return.
Dave there are plenty of fans of all NY teams on Long Island, and we all hate Boston teams.
While I agree where he was going and what he meant, saying it was a "stretch" is wayyy too much. Fans literally chanted "F*** THE CELTICS" "F*** THE RED SOX"
STEPHANIE VAQUER IS A MEGA STAR. HER WRESTLING ABILITY IS SECOND TO NONE. SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST WRESTLERS IN THE WORLD PERIOD
😂I’m not sure you know what “megastar” means. To be a megastar is you move the needle. You draw money, you sell tickets, you get numbers and metrics.
There are no megastars in AEW. None.
@@Jeff_Pryce That is pure BS. That is just being hateful for the sake of being hateful. Even you know that is not true.
Lmfao megastar? She's barely a star. When nobody except the neckbeard incels has ever heard of you, you're not a star.
@@therev_sungyungmoon24 Even a blind man knows it’s true because LOOK AT THE RATINGS. 😂 AEW had exactly one person who could actually make a dent in the numbers, and that person no longer works there.
Name one person who actually moves numbers in the way I’ve described in AEW. Go ahead.
@@Jeff_Pryce AEW is trying to move on from rotten gang green teeth, smoker's face CM Puke. He is in the rearview mirror. He set AEW back a couple years. Sucky people won't let it go, and have to keep bringing the bum's name up. He didn't do that much difference in ratings. Good riddance. He wasn't worth the trouble.
26:10 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I don’t even watch AEW and that is such a great idea.
The only thing though is AEW doesn’t have the storytelling capabilities that WWE does, so the concept would be cool, but no promos or storytelling to back it up and flesh it out to make us truly care.
You are clueless lol
@@BigBoss877 sure 👍🏻
So u saying swerve story tony story should i continue ohh my fault u would rather hear them talk for 50 min my fault@@the_articulated_artist
Just back up the money truck for Bully Ray TK. He will save your company . Make him head of creative!!!!!
Excited to see what goes on with Britt Baker tonight. Bring up the whole division by showcasing the best. 👏👏👍
Just call it the Bully Ray podcast.
I'll listen to it, the man knows the ins and outs of the business
HE KNOWS NOTHING HOMIE
@@SteveDrenserhave you ever even stepped in a ring to know if he apparently “knows nothing” clown
He's passionate about the business and had a lot to say about potentially the BIGGEST AEW feud of the year .... Nothing wrong with that
@@SteveDrenserthe mans been at wrestlemania but “he knows nothing” ok🤡
If you send a job application to take out the trash at WrestleMania, they’ll deny it
Bully out here giving be goosebumps.
Nothing is better to me then when Dave gets wild and starts screaming. That shit makes me laugh every time 😂
Bully question is Britt Baker because she is asset to original All Elite Wrestling when it got started and when she was on a roll that girl means Business
I thought u guys would discuss that epic smackdown segment with Paul Heyman. But still nice to hear Bully Ray's thoughts on Britt Baker and Mercedes potential feud
Hell yeah, Bully should be booking somewhere! Aew or otherwise
They could have pointed out that Long Island like the entire Tri-State Region and Canada sometimes choose their own fan favorites.
This is the 1st time I've seen the entire segment and I was impressed by what Bully Ray said. That's wrestling IQ on display ladies and gentlemen.
I don’t usually agree with Bully but he’s 💯 on point. He tells it like it is, this belief that he hates AEW is false, he just talks wrestling and gives his opinions
People think it’s hatin’ because they are incapable of understanding constructive criticism.
I'm an AEW diehard, and I don't like Bully, but I agree totally with him.
Chef Bully was cookin, per usual 🔥🔥
Bully should be booking
RVD spent almost his entire ECW run calling himself Mr Monday Night and teased going to WWF or WCW all the time and the ECW crowd still loved him. So i do have an issue with Bully's assertion that if anybody on the ECW roster cut a promo saying they were leaving, would get them mega-heat. You could probably even throw Steve Austin's run in there too, since most of it was him cutting promos on Bischoff, yet saying he would be back in the big leagues.
And if you recall that story line then you know that some ECW Wrestlers appeared and worked at several WWE Shows and some WWE Wrestlers worked some WWE Shows. Professional Wrestling Fans are intelligent enough to know when 2 Professional Wrestling Promotions are working a storyline that goes back and forth between Professional Wrestling Promotions. Moreover there were Wrestlers form other Professional Wrestling Promotions who worked ECW Shows many times over the life of ECW.
Agree 100% with Bully on Mercedes on her being a heel.
Bully needs to get paid to be a writer on AEW expeditiously!
I'd love to see Brit cut that promo Bully
DMD’s face during her return looked ambivalent/nonchalant. Unless that’s her playing into her character, she did not seem too excited.
I was hoping for more, like an in ring run in and mix it up and the 2 had to be separated. They must be saving that for Dynamite. I guess it was a teaser.
I think because she knows Mercedes This Doesn't Work Me Brother Mone will book herself over Brit.
@@Wreevesjrlol😂 What is this obsession y’all have with Mercedes having creative control? Good for her for asking for that. She asked for it because for years, she was at the mercy of stupid decisions by Vince and his staff of idiots. And her career at times suffered from it, especially between 2017 and 2019. So good for her for seeking approval to try and use her wrestling mind to make stories and feuds that excite her and can elevate others.
@Jeff_Pryce I don't disagree, but three matches and two belts tells me this won't go well for most involved...
@@Wreevesjr She got a title in her first match because the woman holding it had history with her having injured her.
As for the second title, both titles were up for grabs and it would be stupid to let someone from a smaller promotion come in and pin one of your biggest stars on your turf. Unless her next match involves her winning the world title, let’s just chill with the “SHE’S BOOKING HERSELF TO WIN!” medley. She’s a bigger asset to the division than if she were against them in WWE.
That was the first time I heard Mercedes booed at AEW. I don't agree with them saying the crowd was booing Mercedes, because they don't like her. The Celtics just won the championship and they know how big of a Red Sox and Celtics fans Mercedes is. The crowd was chanting "F The Red Sox" and "F The Celtics" I'm sure there are many Knicks and Yankees fans in the crowd, and they were just trying to have some fun and get under her skin. I think it was more of the area they were in, because she normally doesn't get booed.
Exactly. It was Long Island being Long Island. They booed Punk 2 years ago even though he was the most over star in AEW simply because he was feuding with their boy MJF.
They have too much money invested in Mercedes. She has to be a babyface to make it work. If she’s a heel, it won’t be as profitable because she needs a star on her level to make money with. Britt is good, but she is not on that level with Mercedes. Nobody is on that level in AEW’s women’s division unless they actually do the unthinkable and sign Becky Lynch. Right now, Mercedes has to be a babyface. Maybe they can have Britt as a tweener or just stick with being the heel, but Mercedes cannot turn heel just yet.
There was a guy wearing a Celtics shirt in the f****** third row
Give the crowd credit. I agree.
@@paulcarpenter7844 I feel bad for what that "one" guy had to put up with being in New York.
@@Jeff_Pryce it can work as a heel, MJF was a heel and it worked. Her whole character is a heel, the way she presents herself is a heel. She talks like a heel. Britt Baker is the face of the woman’s division she needs to he the Babyface in this feud.
I agree with bully ray 💯 percent. I’m a fan of Britt baker since I met her back in 2019 at iwc wrestling company here in Pittsburgh pa.
Imagine the pop at Wembley if they do Mone vs Baker and Jamie Hayter makes an appearance. They'd be able to hear that crowd in Boston
Bully Ray, you are a genius. Everything you was gold!!! They should hire you!! Love and respect
Guess Dave has selective hearing, the crowd did chant “f**k the Red Soxs & Celtics…”
I got the chance to meet Britt baker three different times in person so far.
LaGreca's shoots when angry are insanely good. When my boy is mad, HE'S GREAT
I WISH BULLY WAS HIRED BY TONK KHAN MAN HIS VISION IS AWESOME
At least she had Cole to help her. Hopefully, we Adam back soon
With Saraya at last year's ALL IN, Jamie Hayter was injured, so they gave Saraya the moment and the title, and had her drop it a month later.
Bully is right Mercedes does look and act more like a heel i saw the video when Britt came back the fans went nuts
I agree with bully Mone is a heel. Even the way she wrestles is heelish. I'm hoping they run with it but slowly. Like she's fake but as the crowd keeps booing you slowly see the fake wall she puts up crumble. Like do things where the fans are booing her and she screams like "HEY IDIO.... Hellooooooo Portlaaaaand" like she goes to insult the fans but she catches herself. Keep doing that until the facade completely wears off and she's 100 percent heel.
also yes Britt is in amazing shape she looks incredible.
For all we know it could be all set up by design. Mercedes is unpredictable she got everybody in the palm of her hands even bully ray. She’s a genius imo 😂😂 she’s got the haters in hand wrapped around I’m all for the chaos. 😂😂😂
@@bluebutterfly4296😂 They really hate her because she’s one of the few women in wrestling who commands power and respect. Same reasons why they hate Charlotte and Becky, when in reality they should be thanking them for pushing so hard to elevate their divisions.
@@Jeff_Pryce best comment 🔥
I didn’t catch the show last night and caught the beginning of the scrum. I was thinking how much she bores me. However seeing Brits return actually made me more interested in Mercedes
Again Uncle Bully on point as usual. 👍
Mercades & Saraya “The Divas” 😂😂😂
Let's just wait to see what Britt reaction looks like outside of this return... a lot of wrestling have big pops after a long return
Bully is 💯
Bully Ray cooked
Britt got a Will Osprey pop. Imo the 2 loudest pops of the night.
You know, that reminds me. Rumors have been circulating that Cody and Seth might turn heel. Leads me to wonder if fans will continue to chant their entrance songs if they do.
Mercedes got out classed and out worked in that ring. She didnt carry anything, in fact she got carried. For people who didnt know her opponent, they sure as hell know her now!
She’ll be forgotten in a week. Unless you’re in Mexico or some hardcore wrestling nerd, nobody watches CMLL here.
@@Jeff_Pryce 45dys.....
😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢😅😅😅😅😅😅
One other little nugget, and I think I said it in the last comment. whether Brett was heal or face she always said she was AEW and that is what got her over
I just don't see Mercedes This Doesn't Work For Me Brother Mone allowing Brit to upstage her like that... but great idea!
Just give Bully the AEW book already.
Bubba's the real deal...
This is good s **t!!🔥
Mercedes must be a heel; she draws more money being hated; then she does being cheered !!!
It's hilarious how the AEW cult finds nothing wrong with them putting the women's mid card title above it's world title.
How do we know that?
How are they doing that? That makes no sense. There would have been outrage if Mercedes won the main title right away. They are doing it right and letting her work her way to the main title.
Bully 💯 Britt/Thunder Rosa/Mone/Sariah match would be EPIC 💥
Take my money uncle bully
I have this odd feeling that a little bit of old AEW is creeping in here when I say that what I mean, is that if there were plans for Brit ready to come back now, then some of the moves with Mercedes in AEW seem more planned than I thought possibly. Mercedes is not classic heel, but she’s not really playing up a Babyface roll either and I think they’re doing it on purpose because they knew Britt was coming back. There is no way you’re gonna tell me that Tony Kahn has no idea that Britt was already ready to go. Before Britt had to leave she always told everybody whether she was heal or face that AEW belong to her and she was AEW. Honestly, nothing at forbidden door showed me that Brett was heal.
This gives Mone another big name to have a rivalry with. No offense to Stephanie Vaquer and Willow Nightingale but there was no doubt that Mone was going over in those matches.
5:41 Sammy you mean? 😆 i forgot yet he remembered DMD 🦷
Bully ray is on fire 🔥
its going to be the Battle of egos with this one
I was (still am) very excited when Mercedes joined AEW, for obvious reasons. She is a superb addition to any roster, end of discussion. However, when she said that she still wanted to go back to WWE I immediately lost all interest in her as a babyface. I'm an AEW fan, I want this company to get the best wrestlers out there but I can't stand seeing a wrestler use this company as a stepping stone to get back to the bigger company one day. Mercedes, at least to this day, hasn't been able to shake off the fans' feeling that she intends on going back, so why should an AEW fan cheer her? Her being a heel now against Britt makes all the sense in the world, and Britt should 100% use Mercedes's words in that interview against her. I also agree with Bully's booking that includes Thunder Rosa and Saraya, I'd watch that storyline develop any day of the week.
Pretty sure I just saw Bully pull off that “character” better than Mercedes
Here’s a little bit of history for you guys that you probably already know. WWE try to make becky Lynch I heal when she came back and that was a disaster because the fans didn’t want anything to do with that no matter how much she tried to be a heel the fans kept cheering for her until they had to rework it.
What about paul bully
Yall giving these aew fans too much credit .They aren’t even showing up to the buildings anymore.
If I ever did come across enough bank to start a sports entertainment league ..bulky ray would most definitely be the best creative writer. Mercedes lonet hit the nail ont he head as aheel on dynamite....Britt has to be more aggressive in her role and it's going to work
We should all go to Tony khans page and write hire bully Ray to see if we can get Tony khans attention and hire bully
And if Mercedes is smart she will see that this is a huge opportunity and she is now found herself involved in the hottest program AEW has had in a longtime. Bully is right , be smart here girls. Do the correct business here.
WWE has been Slaughtering it right now and the best convo we got on this show is Britt Baker returning? 😂 🦗
Honestly they were booing because she’s from Boston and it was a ny crowd… I agree in terms of story line they should make Britt face
Bully Ray, I agree with you 1000% about Birtt Baker, DMD, she does need to be a total babyface and I agree about Mercedes Mone for sure, she is a total heel and she's gonna do nothing but be a pain in Tony Khan's ass definitely!
Hey, you wanna have an instant baby face for Britt Baker have Tony S. in the ring when she comes back
Well not bar for bar but y'all get it
Mone ??? Was Boston vs New York ....catch up guys
The wild card and Swerves opponent at All In will be Hangman Adam Page.
4 pillars match jack perry vs Darby allin vs mjf vs sammy guevera not OC
Is this the AEW NETWORK ?
The fans were booing Mercedes because they were in NY and she's all about Boston. It started when a guy in a Celtics jersey stood up and started flexn. Britt Baker should come back as a face tho.
Of course for life bro
NY sucks ass
No !
JAYME HAYTER to back up DMD! 26:54
i instead of thunder it would be a returning hayter
Doesnt AEW acknowledge the title reigns from other companies ?
Why would they promote someone else’s company they’re not affiliated with?
Dave u ok?
What if I told u there are tonnes of Yankee fans on the island too?
WAS HAPPY TO SEE DMD shes is over the best female on the roster the ONLY female more over than toni storm
Who said Britt Baker is gonna be a heel? Its a FACT that Mercedes has Creative Control, which makes her a permanent heel.
WHAT TIMELINE ARE YALL LIVIN' IN LMAO?!?!?
I thought Mone was a heel. I never looked at her a face, 'never'
Bully seems to not b a Sasha fan... sounds a lil personal! Look at Mark's face while Bully is talking bout Sasha 😂😂
Guys... they were cheering Sasha in the beginning of the match. By the end of the match they flipped n were booing Sasha
Sheesh Dave!
Why Thunder Rosa and not Jamie Hayter to help Baker against Mone and Saraya?
Did you guys notice Britt Baker color modelled Mercedes colors .
Thats literally the first thing I said
Matched
Wait did Dave not hear the “F the Celtics” and “F the Red Sox” chants? Loudest chants of the night lol Not saying that’s the only reason she got boo’d but to ignore that and claim it had nothing to do with it..
Mercedesmone comment snoopDogg
Bully Ray blows out hot air...
Bully speaks with honesty
I agreed but at least when she was Sasha banks in wwe she was good as a baby face, she seems better there this CEO is just not working with me and I'm not the only one the entire arena was booing her ass off
The arena was booing her because she wore the celtics wig.. and she is from Boston.
You’re right . Explain to me why wwe fans loved her when she was there ? Are those fans just that easy to please ?
💯
She’s getting the ‘Outsider’ hate in AEW.
When Big stars come in, and give the impression that they’re just there for a paycheck.
Plus, right now with the position AEW is in, and as much negativity surrounding it on all levels online, it’s bad timing in general.
If any wwe fans hating her rn, it's most likely they r salty she isn't in wwe. If aew or wrestling fans in general hate her, either they just hater her for the sake of hating her or because she is the big fish in a small pond with a lot of control. As for Mercedes pov, it's pretty clear she wants money, fane and control. In wwe she will be a big star ofc but she probably won't be THE WOMAN on roster
They all laugh at the end cause they know TK ain’t gonna do any of that shit
Kamil needs to be Mercedes bodyguard
Honestly.
That’s just crazy enough to work.
