00:00A legit fight backstage at a wrestling event.

00:03An AEW star frustrated with Tony Khan.

00:06Fear about WWE's Netflix debut.

00:09And more.

00:11I'm Moustache Davis, and this is the Moustache Talk Moustache.

00:18Get exclusive bonus videos over at Patreon.com forward slash WrestleTalk.

00:23There really is nothing like it, is there?

00:25Larger than life characters, fiery promos to get us excited for the eventual match,

00:29and then two performers competing in a predetermined fight.

00:33I am, of course, talking about Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul from Friday Night.

00:38The star of The Hangover fought the singer of the 17th most disliked YouTube video of

00:42all time in a boxing match on the 15th November.

00:45The crowd booed continuously for the final two rounds, as Paul won by unanimous decision.

00:50But the reason I'm covering this in the WrestleTalk News isn't just because it's

00:54a work, brother.

00:55It's because this was Netflix's latest attempt to stream a large-scale sporting event

01:00ahead of Raw moving to the platform… in 49 days.

01:04And they didn't do great.

01:06Despite having almost a year to prepare for this livestream, the broadcast was plagued

01:10with technical glitches like audio issues, as pointed out by Mike Mulvihill, the President

01:14of Insights and Analytics at Fox, Jerry Jones saying Netflix is a huge part of the NFL's

01:20future into a mic that doesn't work, and then less than a minute later, the stream

01:23goes down.

01:25There have been repeated buffering issues from the second match on the card, where viewers

01:28experienced their screens either freezing or failing to load.

01:32The founder of Barstool Sports called it unwatchable.

01:35Many fans posted their fear on X about how Netflix will handle WWE's debut on their

01:39platform from January 6th.

01:42Before then, they've got several other big scale tests, streaming two NFL games on Christmas

01:46Day.

01:47Fightful Select, however, is reporting WWE officials aren't that worried about the

01:52move.

01:54Netflix has promised by Netflix that buffering and connectivity problems will be kept to

01:56a minimum for them, which I'm sure they also told everyone else.

02:00One executive even added that if Raw ever reached the same amount of traffic that Tyson

02:04vs Paul had, which Netflix claims was watched by 60 million households worldwide, quite

02:10a few more than WWE's 1.5-2 million weekly viewers, that would be a good problem to have.

02:17Netflix promoted Raw's debut on the boxing stream, unveiling the show's new logo, which

02:22appears to share the same red colour as the Netflix logo, is slightly 3D, and has the

02:27top and bottom lines which the show had up until 2012.

02:31But it's not just fancy word art WWE are using to get viewers in.

02:34Triple H turned up at a Travis Scott gig last night to invite him to the episode, which

02:39was later confirmed by WWE themselves, with tickets for the event going on sale this Friday

02:4422nd.

02:46Just to go back to the Tyson vs Paul fight, there is something else we need to talk about.

02:51How are we getting the Paul Brothers vs Mike Tyson and a WWE legend at WrestleMania 41?

02:57Wow, things escalated quickly.

02:59Admittedly, this is from my own fantasy booking from our Survivor Series episode of the Three

03:03Count.

03:04Here's that clip.

03:05Watch

03:30that brand new episode of the Three Count as soon as you're done watching this video.

03:33Because after the Tyson vs Jake Paul match, Tyson said he would maybe fight Jake's brother

03:39and WWE Superstar Logan Paul next.

03:43To which Logan replied, motherf*** I'd kill you.

03:46How would you book the Paul Brothers and Tyson crossing over into Netflix WWE?

03:49Let me know in the comments because I'll be replying to people FROM OUTTA-

04:12But nevermind workshoot boxing matches, how about those Shoot Shoot unplanned backstage

04:17fights?

04:19WWE's NG-19 show took place in Orlando, Florida on Saturday night.

04:23But it wasn't the promotion's famed deathmatch wrestling in the ring that's newsworthy.

04:26It's the former WWE talent who claims they got into a fight with another wrestler in

04:31the parking lot.

04:32Drake Verts used to be the head referee Drake Younger in the glory 20-teens period of NXT.

04:38Many classic TakeOver matches had his overly tanned body officiating them.

04:43It was the black and gold, and also kind of orange era.

04:46But in May 2021, Verts was released from his WWE contract following a string of controversies.

04:52He made appearances at his local county meetings to protest against mandated mask wearing,

04:57and Fightful Select reported he criticised NXT wrestlers for getting vaccinated, and

05:01that he stormed out of the 2020 In Your House event when Triple H said people of all religions

05:06and genders were welcome in WWE.

05:09He also reportedly used his corporate WWE email to coordinate activities for a QAnon

05:15adjacent organisation.

05:17Following his release, Verts ran for the Republican candidate for Florida's Statehouse

05:20District 30 and lost, and he un-retired from wrestling.

05:24Retired again in May 2023, to un-retire in October that same year for a deathmatch.

05:29BodySlam.net have now reported on a 6 minute live video posted to his Facebook page on

05:34Saturday night, where Verts claims he showed up at the GCW event, despite having no ties

05:39to the promotion, and presumably mistook it for the NXT parking lot.

05:44He claims to have gotten a wrestler called John Wayne Murdoch's face and gave him a

05:48couple two-piece and a biscuit, which is likely slang for fisticuffs, and sadly, not an actual

05:54biscuit.

05:55Verts alleged that Murdoch wouldn't keep his name out of his mouth, and he's not

05:59going to be pushed around anymore.

06:01The following morning, deathmatch legend NecroButcher posted on his Facebook, seemingly in support

06:06of Verts and against Murdoch.

06:09Thank you Drake Verts, I can think of no other wrestler who has taken more money from other

06:13wrestlers' families than that guy.

06:15Not to mention how many guys he has sent to the hospital, it needed done a long time ago.

06:21It's just a sign of the morally corrupt world we live in that he even exists in our

06:25business.

06:26Thank you, I love you.

06:28NecroButcher continued in the comments, accusing this other wrestler that he wouldn't name

06:32of spreading lies about other wrestlers, undercutting competition, refusing to appear on cards with

06:38people he's lied about, seriously injuring younger wrestlers to get himself over, and

06:43is basically a rotten person.

06:46Apparently Drake got tired of his s***.

06:48Murdoch, the wrestler who was seemingly being spoken about, then posted his own version

06:53of events in the private Deathmatch Elite 2.0 Facebook page, alleging Verts actually

06:58attacked him from behind while he was on the phone to his girlfriend and son.

07:02Which Murdoch described as bitch behaviour.

07:04Bitch behaviour, title of your next indie wrestling show.

07:07Thankfully AEW's backstage tensions are handled far more professionally.

07:12We just ignore them and hope it goes away.

07:14But before that, here's a message from Turbo Jack.

07:17I'm AEW's wrestler Turbo Jack, announcing that after all these years, Turbo Jack is

07:24all in debt.

08:13And to financially support Turbo Jack, I'm in a lot of trouble right now, there's some

08:16scary guys after me.

08:18It's been almost a year since Dan Housen was last seen on TV, with his last appearance

08:22coming on the February 14th episode of Ring of Honor.

08:25But unlike his lengthy 2023 absence, this isn't because of an injury.

08:30In fact, Dan Housen appears to have been very healthy, very active, as he's wrestled

08:34over 50 matches since his last appearance for Tony Khan, featuring on shows in the US

08:39and UK for the likes of GCW, Progress, OTT, House of Glory and Defy.

08:44According to Fightful Select, because he is an AEW signed wrestler, Dan Housen gets approval

08:50from the AEW office to work every single one of those dates.

08:54But despite that, he and AEW have reportedly had very little contact whatsoever in the

09:00last six months.

09:02Apparently Dan Housen was set to return to TV a year ago following his time out injured,

09:06but these plans were changed, which led to him expressing frustration directly to Tony

09:13Khan.

09:14Even though more pitches were made to bring Dan Housen back to TV, even from Bryan Danielson,

09:18who was reportedly a big proponent, and Dan Housen being willing to return, nothing came

09:23of them.

09:24Apparently there was a belief within AEW that Dan Housen was deciding to prioritise his

09:29indie bookings rather than work collision on Saturdays.

09:32Which is an odd belief to have if you're the ones who can control how many indie bookings

09:36he takes.

09:37Dan Housen's contract will expire in the Summer of 2025.

09:41Tony Khan has recently developed a habit of just not using people he doesn't intend

09:45to renew the contracts of, so we might not see Dan Housen for a while.

09:50Friday's SmackDown saw WWE unveil the tournament brackets to crown the inaugural Women's

09:55United States Champion.

09:56And according to a new report from Fightful Select, WWE didn't want to do that.

10:02The tournament graphic, that is, not the belt itself.

10:05Apparently WWE was initially hesitant to air the brackets, as with Naomi in it, they felt

10:10it would undermine her Women's Championship match against Nia Jax that main evented the

10:14same episode.

10:15There was some speculation that the US belt would be a floating championship, available

10:19to be defended across both Raw and SmackDown.

10:22But Fightful writes that no Raw women were included in the tournament because the title

10:27would be exclusive to SmackDown for the immediate future.

10:30With Raw now the only brand in WWE not to have a secondary women's title, there's

10:35speculation backstage that a women's intercontinental belt will soon be introduced.

10:39But there's been no word on that, nor why the Raw women weren't included in the SmackDown

10:44tournament.

10:45It seems WWE really is keeping its performers in the dark over the US title plans, as Bayley

10:50has also revealed in an interview with the headliner Chicago that nobody knew that was

10:55happening.

10:56So, in a way, it was really cool to be surprised, and I was just happy that I was in front of

11:00a monitor when it was happening.

11:02I was in the middle of a meeting with one of my bosses, and it had just popped up.

11:06I heard Nick Aldis talk about the women, and I was like, whoa, hold on please, can we just

11:10watch this real quick?

11:11I'm so happy that I caught it.

11:13Otherwise I wouldn't have been around a monitor because there's so much going on.

11:16While the inaugural champion favourites are between Bayley, who has already advanced,

11:20or hopefully some actual conflict between women's tag team champions Bianca Belair

11:24and Jade Cargill, who could end up in the final against each other, WWE producer Shane

11:29Helms posted that B-Fab was the big favourite backstage on Friday night.

11:33Seeing so many people in gorilla pulling for B-Fab last night was very damn cool.

11:42Series in three words or less-slash-viewer.
