00:00 A mass wrestler walkout in Japanese promotion stardom!

00:04 Goldberg's backstage heat with Triple H!

00:07 And the latest candidate for Who Killed WCW?

00:10 I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News!

00:16 Have you ever looked at how many wrestlers and WWE use spears these days?

00:25 Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, Charlotte Flair, Brom Breaker, Jey Uso, Angelo Dawkins.

00:31 It's all obviously indicative of Triple H's secret nefarious plan to troll Bill

00:37 Goldberg.

00:38 According to Goldberg.

00:41 Maybe.

00:42 In a recent appearance on the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast, Bill Goldberg claimed that

00:47 WWE wrestlers didn't all start using spears until he returned there in 2016.

00:54 And then it just so happened that every single wrestler uses the spear in their moves, right?

00:59 Pretty ironic that happened when I got there, right?

01:02 That's how they do it.

01:04 Isn't it ironic?

01:05 Don't you think?

01:07 It's like reeeeeeeee- This isn't the first time Goldberg has spoken

01:12 about spear spamming, as he also told Dr. Bo Hightower in 2022, "Now about 15 to 20

01:19 superstars in WWE use it.

01:21 I used to hate that so many people used the move, but now I like it because you see them

01:25 do it and then you see the master do it and there's a huge difference."

01:29 He's kind of right.

01:32 Back in 2016, when Goldberg made his return, it was only really Roman Reigns using the

01:37 spear as his finisher, and WWE Presumably Limited who else could use that move elsewhere

01:42 on the card because they wanted Roman to stand out.

01:45 But then Bobby Lashley returned to WWE in 2018, whose finisher is the spear.

01:50 And then Edge returned to WWE in 2020, whose finisher is also the spear.

01:56 Charlotte Flair started using it, and before you knew it, the finisher had become a signature,

02:01 and then the signature became a strong grapple and pressing up.

02:04 It's the lifecycle of really cool wrestling moves.

02:08 The Superkick, the DDT, the freaking Canadian Destroyer.

02:12 Once super protected finishers that only one person did, but two decades later, they're

02:17 a setup move for a nearfall in the opening match.

02:20 And it's not just a WWE thing.

02:22 Wrestlers chuck spears up and down the cards in AEW, TNA and beyond.

02:27 Or, again, it's Triple H's secret nefarious plot to troll Bill Goldberg, as Goldberg has

02:34 also recently alleged.

02:35 "The fact that I didn't get along with Paul Levesque, Triple H, who is Vince's

02:40 son-in-law, I think had everything to do with it when I got there."

02:44 Because Goldberg here is not just talking about the proliferation of wrestlers using

02:48 the spear.

02:49 It's also because his WWE return coincided with Triple H booking someone else to beat

02:55 Goldberg's undefeated streak.

02:58 Someone by the name of Asuka.

03:01 I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

03:07 He seems to not even know who Asuka is, let alone how to say her name, so he's just

03:11 pronouncing it phonetically.

03:12 Which shows how disengaged he was with the rest of the product when he was working there.

03:17 But here's what he said.

03:20 "What's that, a girl what?

03:22 Beat my undefeated streak.

03:23 I didn't know that.

03:26 What's the story there?

03:27 Yeah, I can't even remember.

03:29 Asuka is her name, some Japanese girl.

03:32 And they touted her as being the one to have the longest winning streak.

03:36 And it just so happened that that culminated when I got there."

03:41 Now, Asuka was signed by WWE on the 8th September 2015 and won her first match a month later

03:46 on the 7th October.

03:48 This started a 914 day long winning streak, which she was already almost halfway through

03:54 when Paul Heyman first called out Goldberg on the 22nd October 2016 episode of Raw.

04:01 In fact, at that point, Asuka was only really 100 days out from beating Goldberg's 583

04:08 day undefeated streak.

04:09 Asuka ended up winning almost 250 consecutive matches in almost three years, while Goldberg's

04:16 was 161 matches in just under two.

04:19 It's also important to note that Triple H seemed to have a long-running undefeated

04:23 streak planned for Asuka long before conversations of bringing Goldberg back in even took place.

04:30 It was reportedly only the Summer release of WWE 2K17 for which Goldberg was the cover

04:35 star that started those conversations.

04:38 As we've seen in recent years, Triple H's booking is far more focused on numbers and

04:42 record breaking title reigns than his predecessor.

04:46 Since he took over WWE Creative in July 2022, Roman Reigns has had the longest world title

04:52 reign in modern history, Bianca Belair broke the record for the longest time as Raw Women's

04:57 Champion, and Gunther has just passed 650 days as Intercontinental Champion, breaking

05:03 the record for the longest singular reign and most cumulative days as champion.

05:09 So I think it's safe to conclude…

05:11 Yes, Triple H also did all of that to further gaslight Goldberg.

05:16 Gasberg.

05:17 Do you think Triple H was purposefully trying to dilute Goldberg's legacy?

05:20 Let me know in the comments down below because I'll be replying to people FROM OUTTA THE

05:24 GAME.

05:25 It's how you play it.

05:27 The funny thing is, it's not just Trips who might be trollberging.

05:31 His fellow Click members still do it to this day.

05:33 When Asuka officially passed Goldberg's undefeated streak, she tweeted about how much

05:38 she respected Bill.

05:39 Only for Scott Hall to reply "You're much more talented than Goldberg."

05:44 And in this week's episode of Click this, Kevin Nash explained the reason he had to

05:49 end Goldberg's original streak.

05:51 "It's because nobody liked him anymore.

05:53 I'm like, well, we were all there, and if we go to the Northeast, they were booing Bill,

05:59 you know?

06:00 It wasn't like all of a sudden it was, like, you know, we have to beat Bill.

06:03 It was just like, Bill's starting to be the Yankees.

06:07 Bill's starting to be the Yankees.

06:10 Nobody wanted the Patriots to beat the Dolphins f***ing record."

06:13 Sports.

06:16 But Nash went on to say it was neither him or Goldberg who killed WCW.

06:21 It was Jay Leno.

06:23 But you want to talk about what killed the f***ing WCW?

06:26 Jay Leno f***ing getting I think he had DDP in an armbar.

06:29 Like you gonna tell me f***ing Jay Leno's gonna get you in an armbar?

06:33 As if Conan O'Brien wasn't enough, you had to kill WCW too, Jay?

06:37 If only we had a video on this very channel investigating who really did kill WCW.

06:43 I mean, Jay Leno doesn't sound right, but I just don't know enough to argue it.

06:47 Oh yeah, just one more thing.

06:49 We do have one!

06:50 Watch who really killed WCW by clicking the link in the video description below.

06:55 Because content promotional segue!

06:59 Our next WrestleTalk Original goes live tomorrow, where I do a deep dive exploring how The Rock

07:04 went from being one of the most unselfish wrestlers in the Attitude Era, to Hollywood

07:09 making him a very effective political player, and how he used that to effectively take over

07:15 WWE this year.

07:17 Here's a clip.

07:18 Johnson had successfully negotiated a position on the board of WWE's parent company TKO

07:25 and loads of shares in it, ownership of The Rock intellectual property and, according

07:31 to some, the main event of WrestleMania XL.

07:36 In one fell swoop, The Rock had become head of WWE creative Paul Leveque's biggest star

07:43 and his boss.

07:45 Triple H, once thought to have been pro-wrestling's most successful backstage politician, just

07:50 found himself between a rock and a b****.

07:55 And well, another rock.

07:57 That video took me and the team a lot of research.

08:00 Some of us had to watch Black Adam.

08:02 So please do subscribe and enable notifications to always on to know when it goes live first,

08:07 and comment, give it a thumbs up and share it around when it does.

08:11 Triple H, despite his singular mission to annoy Bill Goldberg, does seem to inspire

08:15 the loyalty and respect of his roster.

08:17 That's the sign of a booker that's also become a leader.

08:21 And sometimes that loyalty can be so intense, wrestlers will follow you out the door if

08:26 you decide to leave.

08:28 The story of Rossi, Agawa and Stardom is fascinating.

08:31 Kind of overshadowed by Vince McMahon resigning from WWE and Scott D'Amour leaving TNA,

08:36 Agawa was the other long-time head of a major wrestling promotion that decided to go earlier

08:42 this year.

08:43 Agawa founded the Joshi, or All Women's Promotion, Stardom back in 2010.

08:47 It helped produce some of the best women's wrestlers in recent times, like Kairi Sane

08:52 and Io Sky, and is where others like Toni Storm and Jamie Hayter honed their craft.

08:58 After ten years, Agawa sold the promotion to Bushi Road, which is also the parents company

09:03 of New Japan.

09:04 The next year, 2020, would then see the first ever women's match take place at a WrestleKingdom,

09:10 albeit in a dark match.

09:12 But something else also happened in 2020.

09:14 The pandemic hit, and that severely derailed the growing New Japan and Stardom momentum.

09:20 During the years since, Agawa has been reportedly frustrated with Bushi Road's creative direction

09:25 for Stardom, on which he was still an executive producer.

09:28 He put in his notice last year, with his last date being February 18th, but the company

09:34 decided to fire him on February 4th, because of allegations that Rossi was poaching Stardom

09:39 talent to launch his own promotion.

09:42 And those fears have become reality, as Tokyo Sports is reporting four of Stardom's top

09:47 wrestlers are expected to leave to join Agawa's new company, which Dave Meltzer has also confirmed.

09:53 I'm going to get my comeuppance now, because I made fun of Bill Goldberg not being able

09:58 to pronounce Japanese names earlier.

10:01 Atami Hayashishita, the current Stardom Tag Team Champion and winner of the 2021 Women's

10:09 Tag Team MVP and the Wrestling Observer Awards, Mirai, who has won their Cinderella tournament

10:13 in both 2022 and 2023, former Artist of Stardom Champion Mei Sakurai and 19-year-old Yuzuki,

10:20 who won this year's Rookie of Stardom tournament, are all expected to go and join Agawa's

10:25 new promotion.

10:26 Meltzer noted "There's a lot of people who are committed to leave that are staying,

10:30 so that's interesting.

10:32 Some of those staying could be because there is still time remaining on their contracts."

10:36 In addition to those four wrestlers, Stardom's top star Julia is also expected to join Agawa's

10:41 new company before she eventually signs with WWE.

10:45 Which brings us to how this fits in the larger geopolitical wrestling context.

10:50 New Japan and AEW have a successful, several years long wrestling partnership, even if

10:55 AEW does keep signing New Japan's top stars.

10:59 But despite that, there seem to be tension between Tony Khan and Agawa.

11:03 Back in November, the official Stardom Twitter account complained about AEW never sending

11:08 any wrestlers to their promotion.

11:09 And then when Agawa was fired in February, Tony Khan seemed to celebrate that on Twitter,

11:16 posting "Bye Rossi" and then two gifs referencing undercover agents and industrial

11:21 espionage.

11:22 There's speculation that Agawa's new promotion could start a working relationship with WWE.

11:28 While you'll wait my Rock WWE TakeOver backstage politics in wrestling movies and

11:33 beyond video that goes live tomorrow, watch our video essay on who really killed WCW.

11:39 here.
