1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.919
It is Wednesday, June fifth,
twenty twenty four. I am the Solo

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.439
Monster. Thank you for tuning in
here for your AW Dynamite fix. As

3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.960
I was getting ready to go live
here, I saw the news update per

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:21.079
the Wall Street Journal, we have
breaking news, breaking television news. Per

5
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:28.399
the Journal, the NBA is nearing
an eleven year, seventy six billion with

6
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:36.159
a b seventy six billion dollar media
revenue deal with ESPN, NBC, and

7
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:42.640
Amazon. And what that means is
that TNT is out of the NBA business

8
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.799
after next season. So you get
one more year the NBA on TNT.

9
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.799
So enjoy Inside the NBA next season. Enjoy Ernie in Shack and Charles Barkley

10
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.600
and the other guy. Enjoy that
show because you we're only going to get

11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.000
it for one more season. And
now we wait and see what effect this

12
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:10.439
is going to have on AW going
forward as they finalize their Meteor Rightes deal

13
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.560
heading into twenty twenty five and beyond. This is a story. I mentioned

14
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.079
it because it will have an impact
in some way on AAW. Some people

15
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.239
think it may not have a positive
effect. I'm not one of those people

16
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:23.879
who happens to think that. I
think that if anything, it would have

17
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.400
a positive effect, not a negative
effect. But the bottom line is nobody

18
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.480
knows for sure until the deal is
done. But that is a massive deal.

19
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.359
Seventy six billion dollars is a lot
of money. I'll go out on

20
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.319
a limb right now and say that
AW is not going to get seventy six

21
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:45.319
billion dollars. That's not going to
happen. They certainly are not going to

22
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.280
get seventy six billion dollars for this
fucking show tonight. That we got Kenny

23
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.920
Smith. Okay, I see,
I don't want them align Kenny Smith.

24
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.599
That just his name popped out of
my head. Fellow New Yorker. I

25
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.519
know, I know, but I
mean, come on, it's not Shack

26
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:04.000
or Sir Charles, so easy to
forget. But anyway, that is the

27
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.840
TNTF date on there. Tonight's show
was built around two things. There was

28
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.719
a World Championship match, but the
big draw was the return of MJF,

29
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.360
who we saw at double or Nothing
for the first time since December, and

30
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.319
then he wasn't even on the show
last Wednesday, but they were all waiting

31
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.479
for tonight. They were promoting his
return to Dynamite for tonight. They were

32
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:36.280
in Colorado and his opponent for Forbidden
Door. Now they did not say Forbidden

33
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.039
Door, but it appears to be
building towards Long Island, and his opponent

34
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.439
for Forbidden Door is not somebody that
you would expect, unless, of course,

35
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.479
you watched Dynamite last week when you
saw Roushe in the back call out

36
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.919
MJF. That probably was a giveaway
about where this was going. But yes,

37
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:59.000
Rush Rush was the one who came
out to interrupt MJF in mid promo

38
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.000
tonight, and it appears that they
are saving that match, I would assume

39
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.680
for the pay per view was not
announced for next week, and so I

40
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.199
can only imagine that they are saving
it for Forbidden Door, because you know,

41
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.280
MJF is certainly not going to be
left off that show at the Ubs

42
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.280
Arena. You know he's going to
be home. He's got to be in

43
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.159
the ring in a match against somebody, and I could think of worse people

44
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.960
for him to be in the ring
with than Rousche. So I actually think

45
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.560
that'll be a fine match and a
fine first opponent for him to notch a

46
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.319
w over his first win since he
was the world champion late last year.

47
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.240
I don't see any issue with that, but you know, he also in

48
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.560
his promo called out two of the
top baby faces, really the two top

49
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:53.120
babyfaces in the company other than himself, and potentially tease they match for Wembley

50
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.520
Stadium with one of them. And
I certainly hope that I'm wrong about that

51
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.319
and that we don't get either one
of those matches that he was teasing,

52
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.159
because to do it at Wembley Stadium, I think would be premature and it

53
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.240
would be not the right place to
do it. It would also be a

54
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.639
slap in the face of the man
who currently holds the world title. So

55
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.959
hopefully what that was was setting up
matches for the future. That's what he

56
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.560
did tonight. He set up matches
at least two, if not three,

57
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.560
potential matches for the rest of the
year, maybe even into next year,

58
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.920
but hopefully not for Wembley Stadium against
the two babyfaces that he name dropped.

59
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:41.319
MJF did not declare his intentions to
be in the owen Hart Tournament this year,

60
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.560
but he should be in there.
Did not say anything about the owen

61
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.480
Hart Tournament. One person who did, though, was Brian Danielson, and

62
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.879
this was one of my big takeaways
from the show. It was a backstage

63
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.759
segment. It was inserted later in
the show. It was relatively brief,

64
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.279
but it was impactful and I was
happy to see. One of the things

65
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.759
that I've been talking about since Tony
Kahan made the announcement with Martha Hart at

66
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.879
Double or Nothing. This new stipulation
that they have added to the Men's and

67
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.759
women's Owen Heart Cup tournaments where the
winners will go on to Wembley Stadium at

68
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:20.600
All in London to challenge for the
World Championship, Women's World Championship, aw

69
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:25.439
World Championship. I like it.
I think that's a great move. I

70
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.120
think that should be the permanent move
going forward. But I've been saying the

71
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.040
last couple of weeks, if they're
gonna do this, then then we need

72
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.800
top tier talent in this tournament.
We need big names, we need former

73
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.800
world champions, we need people who
you could see potentially becoming world champion.

74
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.120
Hard to believe that. Brian Danielson, for all the great matches that he

75
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.720
has had in this company, and
all the people who have held that title,

76
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.959
John Moxley, Chris Jericho, Kenny
Omega, Hangman, Page, mjf

77
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.920
cm Punk, all these different people
that have been the AW World champion.

78
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:03.519
Brian Danielson's never held that title,
and he has been talking about this is

79
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.920
it for him as a full time
active performer. He's not quitting the business,

80
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.759
but as far as him being in
main events, as far as him

81
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.560
competing for or holding world championships,
you can't be a part time world champion

82
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.680
unless your name is Roman Reigns or
brock Lesnar. So Brian Danielson is not

83
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.959
going to be holding the AW World
title very likely unless he is full time.

84
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.839
So this is it. This may
be his last shot. And he

85
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.959
said I'm going out. I'm going
out, and I'm going to go for

86
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.160
it all. So he is going
to be in the Owen Heart Tournament.

87
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.040
I love that move. And I
said MJF should be in there as well.

88
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.279
All the big names should be in
there. But I was very excited

89
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.959
to have that name added to the
list. Hey oznglorious, Thank you very

90
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.079
mum. I'm very happy they're actually
showing up on screen tonight. Thank god.

91
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:01.000
Fucking YouTube was on the fritz the
other night and then we had Chris

92
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:08.399
Jericho. Chris Jericho made a comment
I think on the show last week during

93
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:14.839
his TV Time segment in the ring. He wasn't kidding when he said that

94
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.480
he wants all the segments on aw
television. If he had his way,

95
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.279
he would be in every segment on
the show. He damn near was tonight.

96
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:30.560
Four fucking segments they devoted to Chris
Jericho the learning Tree on this show,

97
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:36.439
each one progressively worse than the one
that came before it. And now

98
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.720
he's threatening to bring back another TV
time segment on the show next week,

99
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.800
so we're gonna get even more of
it, although hopefully they keep it to

100
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.839
just the one segment. Easily,
the worst shit on the entire show tonight

101
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:56.199
were these Jericho segments, which either
were supposed to be funny and weren't,

102
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:01.120
or went off exactly the way they
were supposed to, supposed to be cheesy

103
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.759
and over the touch, which I'm
sure they are supposed to be that way,

104
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.319
but it's just fucking awful. I'm
sorry, it's just fucking terrible.

105
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.360
And to have four of them on
one show. You know, he walks

106
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.959
around, he calls people branches,
Oh, you're my branch. I was

107
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.120
sitting here wishing I had a branch
that I could beat myself over the head

108
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.199
with by the time we got to
segment number three. This was a show

109
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.600
that after the first segment, which
was the MJF segment, so they opened

110
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.039
hot, you know, with him
coming out for his promo. This is

111
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.720
a show where after that first segment, it just it flat lined. This

112
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.600
show just flat lined until the main
event. The main event was good.

113
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.559
Main event was a very good match. It was Swerve Strickland out there defending

114
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.159
the AW World Championship. Another win
for him, defending the title against Roderick

115
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.919
Strong. Look, I will take
a championship match over another fucking eliminate.

116
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.720
Okay, We've had enough of those
for the IWGP title and the AW World

117
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.559
title and the International title. Hey, at least we got a championship match

118
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.320
on this show. But it was
a championship match that was set up and

119
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:20.519
made official by Tony Khan on Collision
last Saturday. And it was Roderick Strong,

120
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.159
who last time we saw him was
a double or nothing when he lost

121
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:31.200
the International title to Will Osper.
And so I'm watching Collision on Saturday,

122
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.720
and I see Roderick Strong walking through
the back and he stumbles upon Tony Khan.

123
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.559
He makes a b line for Tony
Kahan at the gorilla position because everybody

124
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.799
knows that that's where Tony Khan sits. He's got his head set on right.

125
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.039
This was three days after they shot
the angle on Dynamite last week to

126
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:58.200
annoint Christopher Daniels as the new interim
EVP acting on behalf of Tony Khan.

127
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.879
And as he said, and that's
segment last week. If I come out

128
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:03.519
here and I make a decision,
or any decision I make, you know

129
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.440
that it was either cleared through him
or it's coming from Tony's basically Tony Kahn's

130
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.919
surrogate in effect. So I'm watching
this segment on Collision. I see Roddy

131
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.320
go up to Tony Kahan and demand
a World Championship match. Reason being,

132
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.200
I'm next strong, and I know
that you're next strong because Tony got dumped

133
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.840
on his head and that was enough
for Tony con to say, you know

134
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.919
what, you know what, that
sounds a great idea, Roddy, You're

135
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.200
gonna get a World Championship match against
We're on Collision or Dynamite, whatever,

136
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.120
whatever the fuck. And I'm sitting
here and I'm thinking to myself, boy,

137
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:50.000
you know, would it not have
made more sense to have Roderick Strong.

138
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.159
Oh, I don't know. Go
find the Young Bucks and say,

139
00:10:54.200 --> 00:11:00.559
hey, I think I deserve a
shot at the AW World Championship, and

140
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.000
have the Young Bucks say, you
know what, you do deserve a shot

141
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.440
at the AW World title. We
saw what happened to you at Double or

142
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.159
Nothing and that wasn't right. So
we're gonna put you in a match with

143
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.799
Swerve World Championship on the line this
Wednesday on Dynamite, right, because they

144
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.879
did the same thing with Christian Cage. That's how we got the main event

145
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.519
a double or Nothing. Christian Cage
lost his TNT title to Adam Copeland,

146
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.639
did nothing to did nothing after that
to earn the right to challenge for the

147
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.879
world title, but he was gifted
a World Championship match. And the Young

148
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.399
Bucks have been, you know,
trying to fuck around with Swerve, and

149
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.240
Swerves been getting up in their face, which I like, you know,

150
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.759
he should be standing up to the
EVPs. And I was just puzzled by

151
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.639
this that Tony Kahan, not even
Christopher Daniels, who's supposed to be acting

152
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.840
on his behalf and making decisions like
this, is just standing there silent,

153
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.720
And Tony Kahn says yeah, you
know what, that sounds like a great

154
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.000
idea. That's how we got this
match tonight. For those of you who

155
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.879
may have been wondering, maybe you
don't watch all the shows and you're thinking,

156
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.799
well, why would Roddy get a
world title match? That's why because

157
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.559
Tony Kahn says, your next strong, okay, I'll give you a world

158
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.879
title match, And that's how we
ended up with our main event on this

159
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.799
show. Nobody says it has to
make sense, but boy, I sure

160
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.320
wish it did. This is aw
Dynamite your review here for Wednesday, June

161
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:31.360
fifth, twenty twenty four. I
am the solemn monstern, but you already

162
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.639
knew that you like that Tony Convoy. That's what he sounds like to me

163
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.879
every time I hear him speak.
I was happy to see Christopher Daniels basically

164
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.480
take over as his his surrogate last
week. And it wasn't even not even

165
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:50.159
a week goes by and Tony Khan
is already back on TV making matches and

166
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:56.240
making decisions. Why even have Christopher
Daniels in the role in the first place?

167
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:03.320
Why ask why subscribe? Like super
chats are open and they are once

168
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:09.519
again appearing in full view on screen, which they were not on Monday.

169
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.360
You could thank YouTube for that.
But they're back and so am I.

170
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.240
So let's get into this here.
Dynamite immediately. And when I say immediately,

171
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.720
big bang theory ended. Dynamite came
on the air and the first thing

172
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.759
you heard was mjf's theme music,
and out he came in his leather jacket.

173
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.360
So they were wasting no time.
After he missed Dynamite last week,

174
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.159
they held him off for a week. They wanted to, I guess,

175
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:39.159
build anticipation. So out he comes, his first Dynamite appear into many months.

176
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.000
He said. If you're wondering why
his eyes are all squinty, they're

177
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.200
in Colorado. Tonight said he's here
to put everybody on notice. He was

178
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.480
sitting at home on the most magical
place on Earth, Long Island, New

179
00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:01.720
York, watching a bunch of children
making bold claim on his show. He

180
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.200
said, one calls himself the Rainmaker, and yet it looks like he can't

181
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:13.399
even afford a gym membership. Then
there's another one swerving around whose friends in

182
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.440
the Mogul embassy turned on him,
and he said, Swerve refers to himself

183
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:24.240
as a business mogul says, business
moguls tend to go to school, but

184
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.600
if he did, he must have
skipped his course on public speaking. But

185
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.840
the most egregious claim was from a
Cockney cockhead. It's what he called him,

186
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:41.879
Cockney cockhead calling himself the best in
the world, Brev, which is

187
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.399
interesting because last time he checked,
he isn't Chris Jericho, he isn't John

188
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:52.480
Moxley, he isn't Cody Rhodes,
Samoa and Joe, Brian Danielson, Kenny

189
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:58.600
Omega, Adam Cole or Hiroshi Tanahashi. But you know who managed to beat

190
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.919
every single name on that li That
was MJF. So the next time you

191
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.519
want to come on his show,
he says, and lie through those British

192
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.639
teeth of his watch your tone and
check your mouth, because silly billy,

193
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.919
you're not the best in the world, Bruv. He is. He became

194
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.200
the face of aw over the past
five years, and he created some of

195
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:26.320
the greatest matches, the greatest moments, and the greatest memories in the history

196
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.679
of the sport. He became the
most hated man walking this planet, only

197
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.639
to become the most beloved. And
that don't happen by accident, So imagine

198
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.879
how he felt when he goes home
to heal his wounds from carrying this place

199
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.000
and people have the audacity to try
to smear his name. At that point,

200
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:50.039
he was interrupted by Rushe, who
walked out on stage and he say,

201
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.639
cut a promo. This is the
first time I think in all the

202
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.000
time that Rushe has been signed to
aw that he actually had live promo time

203
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.639
on Dynamite out in front of the
arena, not in the backstage segment,

204
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:04.879
but he had the chance to walk
out there on stage and cut a promo

205
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.240
let alone on one of the biggest
stars in the company. So this is

206
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.080
a big moment for him, he
said, like all these stupid ugly Americans,

207
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:17.320
MJF never shuts up. He told
MJF. While he's been gone,

208
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.799
he's been here working hard. So
now he comes back and he gets a

209
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.879
big celebration, where's my celebration?
He wants to know where's his big moment.

210
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.519
He deserves mjf's spot, So now
he's going to take it. Because

211
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.679
when you mess with the bull,
you get the horns. So he didn't

212
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:42.240
say herns like he did last week. He said horns this time MJF said,

213
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.720
I didn't get any of that.
He asked the crowd, did you

214
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:47.879
get any of what Ruche said?
He said, no, I didn't.

215
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.039
I didn't get any of that,
and he asked him to run that by

216
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.120
him again, and when Ruche began
talking, MJF told him that they don't

217
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:59.360
give a shit. He said,
Rush comes out here in his dime store

218
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.919
suit, making his bank account real
dry, like every woman he's ever slept

219
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.640
with. But he's not gonna stand
here and pretend that he doesn't know who

220
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.400
the man is. He says,
you know, at one point, I

221
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.960
paid you a lot of money to
take out Brian Danielson. He knows how

222
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.039
talented Ruche is. He says he
comes from a wrestling family, wrestling royalty.

223
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.440
His father is a wrestling legend.
Now, he says, some people

224
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.279
might call him a Nepo baby for
that, but not him. And there

225
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.240
were a few fans who chanted that
in the craw. I think that was

226
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.119
the whole point. He's gonna wait
and let the fans chant for it.

227
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.359
Some of them did, not everybody, but he's proved that that's not the

228
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:44.000
case when he sold out arena after
arena in Mexico. Then he came to

229
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.599
the US in a record time,
he became a Ring of Honor world champion.

230
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.519
He came to aw and managed to
bludgeons some of the best that this

231
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.680
sport has to offer. The problem
is, the problem is he's not one

232
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:02.839
of the best. He's the best. But out of respect and admiration for

233
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:07.960
Rush, he wants to let him
know how him interrupting him really makes him

234
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:14.160
feel. And then he said something
clearly very nasty to this man in Spanish.

235
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.400
I think he said it got censored. I think he said something about

236
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.839
the man's mother. Rush hit the
ring. They started slugging it out until

237
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.039
Christopher Daniels and a bunch of security
geeks came down to the ring to separate

238
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.079
them. That didn't work. They
had to pull Rush back. Then MJF

239
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.160
jumped on top of him. Then
they ended up rolling around on the mat

240
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:40.160
until finally they got separated. So
what did we get here in this MJF

241
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.960
promo? He came out here.
He's got his brand new T shirt that

242
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.599
he plugged. He also plugged the
pay per view which is on Long Island,

243
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.920
so he made sure he mentioned that. But he came out here and

244
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:57.039
he ripped into the Continental Champion,
setting up a potential match with Ocata at

245
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.599
some point. And look, that
could be the match at Forbidden Door,

246
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.559
that could be the match at Wembley. Now, if MJF is not going

247
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.599
to be in the main event,
I would not have him in the main

248
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.279
event. He could wrestle Okata.
You know that that could be for the

249
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:18.240
continental title. I figure they're keeping
that title warm with Okata until Kenny Omega

250
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.319
comes back. But we don't know
when Kenny is going to be back.

251
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.240
Unfortunately, it seems very unlikely we're
going to get that match in London.

252
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.759
But that doesn't mean that they can't
do Okata and MJF on that show.

253
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.519
But he dropped that first little hint
that we're going to get that match at

254
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.799
some point. And then he called
out the two biggest babyfaces in all of

255
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:42.119
aw outside of himself. Three top
baby faces right now, indisputably or as

256
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:48.559
Keith Lee would say, indubitably right
He loves to throw those words out there,

257
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.240
Three biggest babyfaces in this company,
in no particular order, MJF,

258
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.960
Swerve Strickland and Will Ospry. Case
closed, and he called out the other

259
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:03.920
two and either of those matches could
potentially be a main event at Wembley Stadium

260
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.799
this year. You could get end
up with MJF against Will Osprey. If

261
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.680
Osbury beats Swerve, if Forbidden Door, you could get MJF and Swerve at

262
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.839
Wembley Stadium. Remember the segment last
year they had that backstage meeting between them,

263
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:21.440
that back and forth promo segment.
This was in the weeks leading up

264
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.519
two World's End. That was the
first tease. Nothing came of it because

265
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.440
MJF had to go away. Now
Swerve is the champion, could potentially be

266
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.960
the match at Wembley Stadium, although
it's hard for me to imagine them not

267
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.079
wanting Osprey in the main event this
year. So he set up three future

268
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.640
matches and then of course set up
the future match with Ruche, which my

269
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.880
guess would be is going to take
place at Forbidden Door. And I don't

270
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.920
have an issue with that. I
think Rush is someone who we don't get

271
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.680
to see very often, and I
think at one point there may have been

272
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.400
a visa issue. I know he
got hurt as well. More recently he

273
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:03.079
had that hamstring injury that was coming
out of the Continental Classic. I know

274
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.519
he got hurt during the tournament,
so there may have been reasons why it's

275
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.559
been very start and stop with him, but he's a tremendous talent. Nobody

276
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.039
I think believes he's gonna go over
MJF, but that doesn't mean that that's

277
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:19.640
not a perfectly fine first feud for
him. I still think MJF, though,

278
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.680
should end up in the Owenhart tournament. Whatever happens with Ruche Rush is

279
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:29.400
a fine first opponent, but everybody
should be gunning for the aw World title,

280
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.079
especially MJF because he wants to get
his belt back. So I don't

281
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.519
have an issue with them doing this
match. If for Biddendorf, that's going

282
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.359
to be the match, I think
that's gonna be a great match. We

283
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.920
have Kyle O'Reilly, Orange Cassidy,
Ray Phoenix, and Jay Lethal in a

284
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.640
four way match for the right to
challenge for the International Championship on next week's

285
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:55.440
episode of Dynamite. Hey shout out
to RECINCN, who is in the chat.

286
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:59.920
I see you, So we were
going to get a number one contend

287
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.640
I should note I just mentioned the
people in this match, right, I

288
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.079
mentioned Ray Phoenix, and we've got
Kyle O'Reilly and Orange, Cassidy and Jay

289
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:15.519
Lethal. Jay Lethal yet to win
a match this year in aw We are

290
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:19.839
six months into the year. We
are just about at the midway point of

291
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:26.400
twenty twenty four. This man has
yet to win a single match in AW

292
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:32.279
all year. But he was one
of the four men chosen for this match,

293
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.640
and you had to know coming in
why he was chosen to be in

294
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.759
this match. And if you still
don't get it, it would become pretty

295
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:47.480
apparent here. Momentarily, Lethal immediately
hip tossed Phoenix clear to the floor and

296
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:52.720
then tease the dive opted though for
a Fargo shrut instead. I know I

297
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.039
bust out into a random Fargo shrut
various times during the day, even when

298
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.440
I used to be in the office. You know, I have to get

299
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.319
up and go to the bathroom.
Perhaps on the way back from the bathroom,

300
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.440
as I'm passing by that Hue girl
at her desk, I might do

301
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:11.519
a little Fargo strut, you know, back to my seat. Don't do

302
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.599
that, It's a bad idea.
So this led to Cassidy flying in with

303
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.920
the top rope, crossbody and a
dive out onto Phoenix. O'Reilly jumped in.

304
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.880
He targeted Cassidy's arm. Kyle saved
Phoenix from a lethal injection, but

305
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.119
ate a thrust kick for his troubles, and we got a wild series of

306
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:33.240
kicks and lariots by Phoenix and O'Reilly. Everybody was down. Heading into the

307
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.400
commercial break, Cassidy connected on a
stun dog Millionaire on Lethal tried one on

308
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:42.240
Kyle, caught him though in an
armbar. Phoenix flew in with a splash

309
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:48.079
to break it up. Lethal came
diving in with a top rope elbow spinning

310
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.680
ddt attempt by Cassidy got countered into
a figure four by Lethal. O'reiley though

311
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:57.519
applied to guillotine on Phoenix at the
same time the match broke down, Cassidy

312
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:02.839
blasted O'Reilly with an RNA punch,
Lethal caught Kyle with a lethal injection,

313
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.640
and then Lethal went for a figure
four on Ray Phoenix. Phoenix, though

314
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.000
countered into a roll up for the
flash pin and the win, and of

315
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:18.440
course, who takes the losing fall
here in this match, Jay Lethal Literally

316
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.200
the only reason that Jay Lethal was
in this match, literally the only reason

317
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:26.279
Jay Lethal, frankly is in most
of the matches that he is in.

318
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:32.519
On those rare occasions. You see
him on aw television more often than not.

319
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.119
It is to eat the pin,
it is to take the losing fall.

320
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.200
It's a shame. He's a talented
guy, but that's his role on

321
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.680
the show. So I don't even
need to know who he's going to be

322
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.000
in the ring with. As soon
as I hear that music and I see

323
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.400
him come out and I see Sanjay
Dutt, I know that he's on job

324
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.039
duty and that was no different here. And honestly, you know, when

325
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.880
I saw the lineup here for this
match, you know Kyle O'Reilly just recently,

326
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.440
only a few weeks ago, had
a shot at the international title,

327
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.359
maybe a month ago, So I
knew it wasn't gonna be him. Jay

328
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:10.759
Lethal again the man. If you
gave the man, if the man played

329
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.799
the lottery and you gave him all
the winning numbers, he would still lose.

330
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:17.640
Okay, he's not winning anything.
So you eliminate Kyle, you eliminate

331
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:21.839
Lethal. That leaves Phoenix and Orange
Cassidy. Orange Cassidy has an issue with

332
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:26.440
Trent Boretta and the Kallis family,
and frankly, what the fuck do we

333
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.119
need to see Orange Cassidy back with
the international title for right, He's already

334
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.920
had plenty of time with that title. So Ray Phoenix was honestly the kind

335
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.599
of the de facto winner when you
looked at this lineup coming into this,

336
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.960
so I figured it was going to
be him. Now, look, will

337
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.200
Ospray might not be getting the match
that he wants with Ricochet. Okay,

338
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:52.240
he's practically on bend de knee trying
to convince Ricochet to come to AW so

339
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.640
the two of them can work together
again. I don't think that's gonna happen,

340
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.599
but he's going to get the next
best thing he's getting Ray Phoenix.

341
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.359
Were going will Osprey and Ray Phoenix
in the ring next week for the international

342
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:08.880
title on Dynamite. So for all
of the crazy insane matches that we have

343
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.359
seen in this company in these last
five years, and there have been a

344
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.640
lot of them, and there have
been a lot of multiman matches, this

345
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:21.880
match next week that we are about
to see between these two men may seriously

346
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:25.960
end up being the most insane one
on one that we have gotten to date

347
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:29.519
in AW. When you consider who
is in this match and what they are

348
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:34.599
probably going to do, this is
going to be pure insanity next week and

349
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.960
I can't wait to see it now. After the match, Trent Bretta came

350
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:45.279
out with Don Kallis to attack Cassidy
with a chair. Cassidy went outside.

351
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.039
He grabbed a chain from underneath the
ring, climb back inside. Now here

352
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:56.400
comes Chris Statlander and Chris Statlander gets
in between them two keep them apart and

353
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.079
to hold back Orange Cassidy. We
hear Stokely Hathaway's voice and he comes walking

354
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.680
out with a microphone says that Statlander
is going to put her foot so far

355
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:11.319
up his ass he'll be coughing up
shoe leather. Statlander then decked Cassidy and

356
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:18.119
then Willow Nightingale sprints out from the
back Statlander and Halfaway veiled. Stokely ended

357
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:25.200
up piggybacking on Statlander's back as they
backed up the ramp, and that was

358
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:30.720
the end of that. From this
point on, boy, this show was

359
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:37.559
I don't know. This show was
a mix of terrible like these Jericho segments

360
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:42.440
and just you know a bunch of
segments that just wasn't terribly exciting really,

361
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:48.160
not until the main event. So
we had our first of four I said,

362
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:55.480
four segments on this show with Chris
Jericho. I didn't ask for one.

363
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:57.960
We got four. We had a
black suv. I never thought I

364
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:02.240
would sit here and tell you that
I wish that the young Bucks would have

365
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:03.640
walked out of the suv. That's
who I thought it was. At first,

366
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.279
I thought it was going to be
the elite. Instead, we have

367
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.480
a black suv that pulls up in
the parking lot outside and who comes out

368
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:17.400
Chris Jericho. And Jericho is way. He's got that big cheesy smile on

369
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:22.559
his face. He's got the FTW
title around his waist, shirts open and

370
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.759
he's waving. He's waving at people, waving at the Cameras he walks up

371
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:32.240
to the driver's side window, he
reminds the driver that you have to come

372
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:38.480
to a full and complete stop.
Big Bill and Brian Keith they joined Jericho

373
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.240
outside the car, and Brian Keith
was upset because he thought the cameraman's work

374
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:53.079
was very shaky. I guess this
was disrespectful to Chris Jericho to Jericho took

375
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:57.440
the camera from him and he was
filming Big Bill. Bill said the sun

376
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:03.279
was shining and he loves the little
things in life. Brian Keith told the

377
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:08.079
cameraman that he wouldn't have a shaky
ass camera if he respected Jericho. So

378
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.359
I guess this is his gimmick.
Now. Not only is he a bounty

379
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:17.599
hunter, but the gimmick. Now, he's got this comedy gimmick where he

380
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:22.079
is irritated by everything and everything is
perceived to be disrespect towards Chris Jericho,

381
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.400
and he's just he's like an angry
little elf. You know, he's got

382
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.400
that look on his face and he's
just very upset. That's his, uh,

383
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:37.039
chronically angry gimmick now that he has. So Jericho gives the camera back

384
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.880
to the cameraman and tells him follow
me into the building. This is awful.

385
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.920
I wrote that here. I said, this is awful. Now.

386
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.960
I thought that Jericho was going to
come into the building, he was going

387
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.319
to come out to the ring,
cut a promo. That would have been

388
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:55.480
the end of it. Little did
I know we'll get back to him in

389
00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:00.680
a bit. Renee interviewed Willow Nightingale
in the back, who said that Mercedes

390
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.279
Monet is the TBS champion, but
there is a score to settle someday.

391
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:08.519
Because she had Mercedes pinned in their
match at double or nothing. She had

392
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:14.039
her down for a good eight count. That was when Stokely had the referee

393
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:18.640
distractor, or Stokely in Statlander had
the referee distracted. So Willow said that

394
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.079
she would have trusted Chris Statlander with
her life, and she betrayed that.

395
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:27.599
Orange Cassidy walked by, gave her
a weak little fist pump, and walked

396
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:37.480
off. Christopher Daniels, the new
interim EVP in AW comes walking out onto

397
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.440
the stage. He even got an
entrance, he got a video music.

398
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:49.079
He walked out on stage to announce
that on June thirtieth at Forbidden Door they

399
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:52.160
will crown a new TNT champion,
which was already announced. They're going to

400
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.599
crown a new TNT champion in a
ladder match, and they're gonna have a

401
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.400
series of qualifying matches. Now we
already have the first qualifying match on Friday

402
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.920
on Rampage. Last week, Kenoski
Takeshta. He beat Penta, who I

403
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.319
don't even think can be on the
show because of some sort of political issue.

404
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:14.319
I guess does he work for Triple
A maybe, And with CMLL being

405
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:18.039
on the anyway, I don't even
think Penta can can be on the Forbidden

406
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.880
Door show. So he was never
gonna go anyway, but Takeshta beat him,

407
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.839
so Takesha has already advanced into the
ladder match. On June thirty,

408
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.279
he said, right now, we're
gonna have another qualifying match, and that

409
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:37.680
brought out the Ring of Honor World
Champion Mark brisco who walked out. His

410
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.079
opponent was Brian Cage, and the
announcers, you know, like ex caliber

411
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:48.039
tried, oh oh, Brian Cage. Right, he comes out, looks

412
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.160
like a million bucks. But again
the problem is the Jay lethal thing where

413
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:56.960
he doesn't win. He doesn't win. So yes, of course he looks

414
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.680
like he can rip you apart,
you know, and then or swap hole,

415
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:05.599
but he never wins. So as
soon as he walked out, you

416
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:09.400
knew, you knew. Plus again
the Ring of Honor World Champion is not

417
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:14.400
going to get beat by Brian Cage. So predictable as it was, they

418
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:19.319
still still had a good match.
Cage controlled early with the power game,

419
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.920
Brisco countered with the baseball slide through
the ropes. Brisco threw a chair into

420
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.559
the ring. Paul Turner, though
quickly removed it, and this allowed Cage

421
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:32.240
to recover and take control. Briscoe
mounted a comeback with some redneck kung fu.

422
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.279
They showed Don Kallis with Kenoski Takesha. They were up in the crowd

423
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:43.119
washing and scouting scouting the competition.
Briscoe now was bleeding from the mouth.

424
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.759
He sent Cage crashing outside. Then
he set the chair up in the ring

425
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:54.720
Saboo style, hit the ropes and
then did a somersault off the chair somersault

426
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:59.480
dive onto Cage. Then they cut
to Jack Perry, who was in the

427
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:04.359
back on a flat screen monitor.
The jade driller got blocked by Cage,

428
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.839
who hit a ripcord elbow and a
sit out pump handle slam for two.

429
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:13.160
Spinning lagerbomb got another two for Brian
Cage, who then wanted the drill claw,

430
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:17.000
but Briscoe floated over, hit a
rolling DVD and then the froggy bow

431
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:23.480
for the win. The backstage,
they cut back to Jack and Perry was

432
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:30.359
applauding Briscoe's win as he's looking at
the screen, and then he turned to

433
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:34.960
face the camera and he said they
won't matter, as nobody is willing to

434
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:38.359
make as big of a sacrifice for
aw than I am. And he said

435
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:44.000
that he is destined to win the
TNT title. No matter what Tony Kah

436
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:51.920
thinks. Now he cut this promo
with Mark Briscoe watching his promo in the

437
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.319
background on the screen. I feel
like this is some sort of weird inception

438
00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:00.440
here. So as Jack Perry was
talking on the monitor right behind him,

439
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:04.680
right over his shoulder, you saw
Mark Briscoe in the arena standing on the

440
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:08.039
ring steps looking up watching the promo, which I thought was actually a very

441
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.880
unique way to shoot this. And
again it's a minor thing. Most people

442
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:14.800
may not even notice it, but
I thought that was a very cool,

443
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:19.559
very unique way of shooting that that
I've not seen before. So again we've

444
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:22.559
got TAKESHTA. Now we have Mark
Briscoe, and we know that Jack Perry,

445
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.400
whether he has to qualify or not, is going to be in the

446
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.320
ladder match. He'll make three.
I don't know that they've said how many

447
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:31.519
people are going to be in this
match. If it's going to be six,

448
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:37.360
it's going to be eight, five. I would imagine probably six people

449
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.679
are what we're going to have in
the ladder match. We'll see who else

450
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.360
qualifies. Perry is still my pick
to win the title. Yeah, before

451
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.400
Adam Copeland got hurt I was saying
it. Then I think all roads lead

452
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.199
to him dropping the title to Jack
Perry. Just because he got hurt.

453
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:55.239
It doesn't mean that you don't follow
through. If that was the plan,

454
00:34:55.280 --> 00:35:00.000
then you see that plan through to
the end. It only makes sense.

455
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.159
You know they're pushing Jack Perry.
They already have gold in the elite.

456
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.559
He should bring the TNT title into
the elite. It's what makes sense.

457
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:14.679
Don't deviate from the plane. Rene
was in the back with Samoa, Joe,

458
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.679
and Hook and asked if it was
safe to call him Hook's new mentor.

459
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:22.119
Joe said that he wouldn't call this
a mentor ship, but then he

460
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:31.559
was quickly interrupted by Tony Nice,
Aria Davari and smart Mark Sterling. When

461
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:36.280
was the last time we saw these
men on dynamite? They've been hanging around

462
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:39.280
on a ring of honor. What
the hell are they doing here? But

463
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:44.280
there they were, and Tony Nie
said, you've got to be kidding me.

464
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:47.840
That's what I said when they walked
into camera frame. He said,

465
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.639
You've got to be kidding me.
After all these years, you would think

466
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:54.519
that Hook would stop eating this crap
and start taking things a little more seriously.

467
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:58.920
Hook was standing there this whole time, eating what looked like from a

468
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.320
bag of onion rings. I mean, I don't know if they were onion

469
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.599
rings or not. They look like
it. Boy, I haven't had onion

470
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:10.159
rings probably twenty five years. I
mean I've had onion fried onion rings,

471
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:15.360
I mean like out of a bag
though, haven't had onion rings in a

472
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:20.280
very long time. But anyway,
so he was chowing down, so Nice

473
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:25.280
then took the chips right out of
his hand. Davari then said that he

474
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:29.400
looked over at Hook and said,
what's the matter. You ain't got your

475
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.840
daddy to protect you, so you
need the former champion. So Joe had

476
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:37.360
to hold back Hook and then he
said that they're going to handle that,

477
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:44.159
but they're going to do it on
their time. I should note that Tony

478
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:46.639
Nice, I said before Jay Lethal
has yet to win a match this year

479
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:52.159
on AW television. I'll do you
one better. Tony Nice has yet to

480
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:57.599
even have a match on AW television. You can say the same thing for

481
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:02.400
Aria Davari as well. So what
they say doesn't exactly carry mush weight.

482
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:09.320
Let's just put it that way.
Backstage, it was another Learning Tree segment.

483
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:15.079
Chris Jericho, Big Bill and Brian
Keith. They run into Matt Minard

484
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:23.119
and Angelo Park, two former members
of the Jericho Appreciation Society. Jericho said

485
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:29.199
they were two of his favorite branches, like there were a couple of fucking

486
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:36.400
libraries. He said, their careers
are now bigger and better than bigger and

487
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:42.840
better than ever. That's what he
said. Minard, I should mention Matt

488
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:47.039
Minard just replaced Chris Jericho on commentary
on Rampage. So if you tuned out

489
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:50.679
of Rampage a long time ago,
I mean, you have many reasons to

490
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:52.960
tune out of Rampage, But if
you tuned out of Rampage because you were

491
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:59.079
tired of the incessant screeching of Chris
Jericho on commentary, fear not. Because

492
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.440
Matt Minard has now taken over for
him full time. And I've heard nothing

493
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:06.719
but good things about Matt Manard on
commentary. What commentary I have heard of

494
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.239
him, he was very good.
So it sounds to me like that's a

495
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:13.679
role that he could be very good
at. Not that that means he's not

496
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:17.039
going to wrestle anymore, but good
for him. I'd rather listen to him

497
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:24.039
on commentary than Jericho anyway. So
Jericho told them to enunciate their words when

498
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:30.719
they speak. Big Bill then sounded
the word out, whatever the word was,

499
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.000
and then matt Manard told him to
shove it up his ass. Jericho

500
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:38.400
and Bill agreed that that was a
good one. And Jericho gave parenting advice

501
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:45.679
to Angelo Parker, who is expecting
a little one with Ruby soho, and

502
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.159
then they walked off, and Brian
Keith told Angelo Parker he better make sure

503
00:38:50.199 --> 00:39:00.079
that the baby respects Jericho and that
he walked off. Oh boy, this

504
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:07.559
was only the second segment. We
had two more of these. The Acclaimed

505
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:14.320
made their way out to the ring
with William Gunn. Max casters started rapping

506
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:21.639
about the EVPs and saying mean things
about them. When Matthew and Nicholas Jackson

507
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.760
appeared on the big screen, they
cut the music, cut cut him off

508
00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:28.639
right, They cut him off.
In mid rap, Matthew said that the

509
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:32.280
employee handbook says not to disparage the
EVPs, and he told them to leave

510
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:40.679
the arena because their segment has been
cut. And so they left and that

511
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:45.559
was the end of that. Now, I'm not sure why they are allowed

512
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:50.719
to get away with doing this when
they have already established to us that Tony

513
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:54.960
Kahan is present and sitting at Gorilla
every single week. They established that very

514
00:39:54.960 --> 00:40:00.039
clearly on Collision last Saturday. They
established it a double or nothing, And

515
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.199
when Jack Perry walked right up to
him and dragged him out into the arena,

516
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:08.079
and Tony Khan went rolling, rolling, rolling down the ramp before Jack

517
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:12.079
got set on fire. So they
make it very clear. We know where

518
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.239
Tony Khan is, right, he's
back, he's on headset, he's doing

519
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:20.559
his job, he's doing his thing. And it's just one of these things

520
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:24.760
where how is it that Tony Khan
trumps the Young Bucks because he's the president

521
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:29.039
and CEO of the company. Right, whatever EVP power the Bucks have,

522
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:34.599
Tony Khan can certainly overrule them,
or he can then come right back and

523
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.719
rule in a different way. So
why is it that the Young Bucks are

524
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:42.039
allowed to get away with this?
Right? It's just one of those things

525
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:46.320
when you have multiple authority figures like
this, it just gets very messy and

526
00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:51.440
there really is no logical explanation for
it. You just have to roll with

527
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:53.239
it. I know what they're doing
here, I know what they're going for.

528
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:57.719
They're setting up a match an eventual
match and a feud with the Young

529
00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:00.599
Bucks and the Acclaimed, and the
Acclaim can use something right now because the

530
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:05.800
Acclaimed have been severely cooled off they, i mean, their peak of popularity

531
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.159
passed a while ago, and they
need to come up with something for them

532
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:14.239
to do. And clearly they're building
towards a tag team title match with the

533
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:17.960
Young Bucks and the Acclaimed, and
so this is why they shot the angle

534
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:21.920
here that they did. There was
a segment later on in the show where

535
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.400
the Acclaim tried to get at them, like, oh, we're not here

536
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:29.519
to talk. They just wanted to
let them know that basically, we're gonna

537
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:31.440
get you soon enough. You know, we're gonna get our hands on you.

538
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:36.559
So they're building to a match.
But again, this is why if

539
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:39.719
you're gonna if you're gonna do an
angle on TV where you take Tony Kahan

540
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.000
and you drop him on his head
and you injure him this big injury angle,

541
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:51.079
he should be out for a while
and then let the Young Bucks run

542
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.440
rough shot on the show for a
while, you know, until either he

543
00:41:54.519 --> 00:42:00.760
comes back or he sends a surrogate
in his place. But they did this

544
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.119
the week of the NFL Draft Apparently
they were filming some kind of documentary and

545
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:08.039
there's foot they were following Tony Kahan
around and that's why they that's probably part

546
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:14.000
of why they did the angle.
But Tony Kahan was out for days,

547
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:20.079
not even weeks. Days. You
all got dropped on his head. He's

548
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:25.400
still smiling, had the neck brace
on. But it would make more sense

549
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.679
if you would at least let the
man stay out for a little while and

550
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:34.599
then do stuff like this. But
when you bring him back so quickly,

551
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:39.360
it's just silly. He's back,
He's already back. How is he okay

552
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:44.519
with this? How is he okay
with the young bucks abusing their power and

553
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.719
cutting a segment out of the show
when he is sitting there at the desk

554
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:52.639
in the back, because he's sitting
there going ah shit, all right,

555
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:55.440
well, I guess, Matt Nick. They just cut this segment out of

556
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:00.920
the show, all right, onto
the next It's just silly. I'm sorry,

557
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:07.280
dish is very silly. So that
was the end of that, and

558
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:12.199
then it was on to Renee in
the back to speak with the aw world

559
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:20.320
champion Swerve Strickly. Finally, somebody
I wanted to see said that his title

560
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.320
will be on the line in the
main event against Roderick Strong. She wanted

561
00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:27.639
to know how he was feeling heading
into the match. First, he welcomed

562
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:31.719
back MJF called him a little bitch. Well, he likes using that word,

563
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:36.960
right. He called the young Bucks, said it was a bitch move

564
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.079
what they did to Tony Kahan.
Now he calls MJF a bitch. Said

565
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:45.920
that he finally showed up to work
and he mentions his name, says,

566
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:50.000
you mentioned my name, You're gonna
deal with me, and not in the

567
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.280
way that you're gonna like. He
also had a Manila envelope in his hand

568
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:58.199
and he handed it over to Prince
Nana. It was the contract sign sealed

569
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:01.559
and delivered for an aw world Shipchampionship
match if forbidden door with will Osprey.

570
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:08.039
He told Prince Nana send it to
will Osprey in the United Kingdom. I'll

571
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:12.599
even pay for the postage. Well, boy, it's a good thing he

572
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:15.840
didn't lose his title in the main
event. If he would have already mailed

573
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:19.119
that contract now, that would have
been embarrassing. If the contract went all

574
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:22.440
the way overseas to the UK.
He lost his title in the main event,

575
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.960
which I'm sure, so many of
you were expecting him to do.

576
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.440
Wow, boy, was that a
bullet dodge. So anyway, he hands

577
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:36.599
the envelope over to Prince Nana and
he said, tonight world title match with

578
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:43.039
Roderick Strong. Understand you are dealing
with the mountain of professional wrestling. He's

579
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.400
letting him know he's not just gonna
knock him off of it, He's gonna

580
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:51.320
bury him under it. Also,
what's been on his mind lately is the

581
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:55.800
EVPs said he was disappointed to see
Team AW lose at Anarchy in the arena,

582
00:44:55.880 --> 00:45:00.280
But make sure the next time that
you assemble a Team AW to represent

583
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:07.519
AW, that you include the AW
World Champion, which is sound advice,

584
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:10.199
by the way, would only makes
sense for the AW World Champion to want

585
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:15.079
to represent his brand. And the
first thing I thought of when he made

586
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:17.800
that comment, I thought of blood
and Guts. They're going to be doing

587
00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:21.599
a blood and guts match. I
assume maybe in the next month month and

588
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:23.760
a half, Right, it's usually
around this time that they do it.

589
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:29.559
Maybe they're setting up for Swerve to
be on Team AAW this time around,

590
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:35.360
right, has to be building to
something, so Blood and Guts will be

591
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:39.199
here before you know it. What
other story makes sense for blood and Guts

592
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:45.480
if not the Elite against some semblance
of an aw team. The swerve may

593
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:50.199
be on it this time. But
this was good, the good promo here

594
00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:52.960
from the champion in the back,
and the more airtime, the more FaceTime

595
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:58.039
he gets on the show, the
better. Now, ex Caliber informed us

596
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:02.840
that the match at Forbidden Door,
which is now official with Mercedes Monet and

597
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:10.280
Stephanie Vicaire, the reigning CML Women's
World Champion and new Japan Strong Women's Champion,

598
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:15.719
is going to not only be champion
against champion, it will be title

599
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:21.280
for title now I believe, and
actually, now that I think about it,

600
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:23.239
I don't know if he specified this. If he did, then feel

601
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:28.480
free to let me know in the
chat. But Thecaire has two titles.

602
00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:32.599
I believe it was in reference to
the new Japan Strong Women's title, not

603
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.920
the CMLL Women's title, but again
I could be wrong, So I don't

604
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:40.159
know if that means that both of
her belts are going to be on the

605
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:45.440
line. But I took that to
mean that the Strong Women's title would be

606
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:47.360
on the line and the TBS title
would be on the line. But in

607
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:51.119
any event. That's going to be
a great match. We already knew that.

608
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:53.159
Now the stakes have been raised now
that we know it's going to be

609
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:58.800
title for title. Then we got
a video package showing the history of both

610
00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:05.320
women with some commentary provided by Mercedes
herself and how she defeated Vicaire in the

611
00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:09.239
semi finals of the New Japan Strong
Women's Title tournament last year. That was

612
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:14.239
the same night that she broke her
ankle in the finals with Willow Nightingale.

613
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:19.159
She said that she is taking the
title that she was supposed to win last

614
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.880
year, and it is the strong
title. Okay, that's what I thought.

615
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:29.199
That's what I thought, So I
think it's only Vicaire's new Japan Strong

616
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:32.840
Women's title. Mercedes is going to
win that title. Mercedes was going to

617
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:37.960
win that title last year had she
not gotten hurt. So this is really

618
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:39.760
just getting back to the original plan. They wanted her to be the first

619
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:45.599
champion. That didn't happen. That
couldn't happen, So now she'll get the

620
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:49.880
belt that she was supposed to get
a year ago, because Stephanie Vicaire is

621
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.519
now winning the TBS title. But
I am looking forward to that match it's

622
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:58.920
gonna be a great one. We
had the Blackpool Combat Club which included the

623
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:07.519
IWGP World Heavyweight title, John Moxley, Brian Danielson, Claudio Castignoli, and

624
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:12.239
the returning wheeler Udah, who has
been out of action for six months.

625
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:17.800
He had lingering concussion symptoms, had
a really bad concussion some time ago and

626
00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:22.880
has been out for quite a while. He just got medically cleared, so

627
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:29.440
it was good to see him.
They took on Team CMLL, which was

628
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:42.599
Magnus Volador, Junior, Ruhido and
Esfine the Sphinx four on four it's Forbidden

629
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:47.400
Doors season, and also we had
the Blackpool Combat Club against Team CMLL at

630
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:51.800
Arena Mexico back in March, which
Uda was not able to be a part

631
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:55.360
of. That's when Matt Sidel stood
in for him and the CMLL guys won

632
00:48:55.400 --> 00:49:00.480
that match. So if you're looking
for a reason why why is this match

633
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:05.000
happening? Those are the reasons why
there was already an issue between the two

634
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:09.239
sides. And again there is CMLL
involvement in Forbidden Door this year on like

635
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:15.320
previous years, so we're gonna start
to see some CMLL talent on TV.

636
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:22.159
So that's why this match is taking
place. So you threw the first shot

637
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:28.199
and all eight men brawled outside the
ring to kick things off here. Late

638
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.639
in the match, Volodor hit a
destroyer on Claudio for a near fall that

639
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:37.760
got a good reaction. Moxley dropped
Magnus with a paradigm shift. Volador put

640
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:44.280
Claudio down with her coirana and then
ran into a busaiku knee from Brian Danielson.

641
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:49.159
You'da ended up pinning Ruhido with the
seatbelt. You can see my you

642
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:54.440
can sense my excitement level here for
this match off the charts. I just

643
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:58.440
I just can't get into this,
but I will say, you know,

644
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:00.079
for someone who's been out for six
months, I thought you to look good.

645
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.679
It looked like he didn't miss a
beat you. You could tell he's

646
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:07.559
been dying to come back. I'm
sure he's been waiting and waiting, and

647
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:10.320
he made the most of it tonight. I thought he looked good. But

648
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:13.599
that's really all I have to say
about that. You know, it was

649
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:17.480
a win for the Blackpool Combat Club. That's it. I don't got nothing

650
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:22.679
else to offer on that. This
week's episode is sponsored by Express VPN.

651
00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:27.519
There's lots of things in life that
aren't fair. You know, when someone

652
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.599
steals your parking spot. That's not
fair. When you buy something online that

653
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.320
you think is going to fit you, but it's one size too small,

654
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.719
and then you find out that all
sales are final. Yes, this has

655
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:40.679
happened to me once. That's not
fair. You know what else isn't fair?

656
00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:45.639
The fact that Netflix hides thousands of
shows and movies from you based on

657
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:47.840
where you live, and then has
the nerve to keep raising rates on you.

658
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:52.599
Sure you could just cancel your membership
and protest, or you could be

659
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:57.920
smart about it and get all your
money's worth by using Express VPN like I

660
00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:01.480
do. Did you know that what's
on net Netflix in your country is completely

661
00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:07.519
different from what somebody in the UK
or South Korea has on theirs. Using

662
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.480
ExpressVPN, I can control which country
I want Netflix to think I'm in.

663
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:15.800
ExpressVPN has over one hundred countries to
choose from, so every time I run

664
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:19.480
out of stuff to watch, I
just switch to another country to unlock new

665
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:22.440
shows. I've been watching reruns of
The Fresh Prince of bel Air. It's

666
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:27.960
not on us Netflix, but with
one tap of a button, ExpressVPN transports

667
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.119
me to India and we're in business. Even better, it's not just for

668
00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:36.599
Netflix. You can use ExpressVPN to
unlocked shows on other streaming services too,

669
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:39.280
like BBC iPlayer. I decided to
give it a try. I was just

670
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:44.159
checking it out. I checked out
a comedy series on there called Bad Education.

671
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.000
There's a bunch of other shows on
there too. What I love about

672
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:52.360
ExpressVPN is that it's super fast.
I never experience any lag or buffering.

673
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:55.239
It's also compatible with all my devices, including my phone and my laptop,

674
00:51:55.320 --> 00:52:00.800
so it's very convenient to use.
I like convenience. Stop paying full price

675
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:06.039
for streaming services and only getting access
to a fraction of their content. Get

now, although I wish, I wish

680
00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:34.039
I would talk about that more,
because now we return you to the adventures

681
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:40.280
of the Learning Tree Chris Jericho.
We already had two segments. This was

682
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:47.639
segment number three in the back he
walks up to a random branch, as

683
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:52.079
he is now calling them, these
are all his branches. He walked up

684
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:59.360
to a random branch who was scooping
up some food from the buffet. Jericho

685
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:02.320
said that, as a guy who's
been eating chicken and dumplings for many years,

686
00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:07.719
I'm not going to say anything.
As a guy who's been eating chicken

687
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:13.920
and dumplings for many years, he
wants to show him how to scoop it

688
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:17.440
properly. He goes, you get
it all the way to the top and

689
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:22.960
then you put it in your bowl, and that's the best way to dollop

690
00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:29.280
it out. And he said,
thanks guys, and he walked off,

691
00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:32.840
because that's his line now, even
if there's only one person there. The

692
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:37.760
punchline at the end is thanks guys. And he walks to the and he

693
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:44.920
walks off. He disappears. I
wish I could disappear, you know.

694
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:46.440
I would say at this point,
now, this was the third one that

695
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:50.280
we had on this show, and
I would tell you that I thought it

696
00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:52.159
was getting old. But the minute
the Jericho stepped out of the suv,

697
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:55.800
it was already old. And I
thought, okay, that's gotta be it,

698
00:53:57.519 --> 00:54:00.920
right. But it wasn't. Like
I said at the beginning of this,

699
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:04.880
I wish I had a branch that
I could beat myself unconscious with and

700
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:08.199
then when I wake up, the
segments are up. We had a Daniel

701
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:15.800
Garcia video package that aired. He
talked about being home in Buffalo and how

702
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:20.039
it brings him back to when he
was a twenty year old wrestler making long

703
00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:24.440
trips to independent shows. He recalled
the car accident that nearly killed him and

704
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:30.920
broke both of his legs, which
Jericho actually contributed to the GoFundMe just why

705
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:36.000
he ended up in the Jericho Appreciation
Society, that's a true story. He

706
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:39.360
said he's grateful for that moment because
he realized life is too short to wait

707
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:45.000
for opportunities to come to you.
And he talked about challenging will Ospray for

708
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:51.000
the international title and said that you
can't outgrind or outwork him. So we'll

709
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.239
see. I guess when that happens
to me, maybe that could be a

710
00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:59.440
forbidden door match. Even though Osprey's
already in the main event, that does

711
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:01.280
not mean that he cannot defend his
title. I'll talk more about that later

712
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:07.960
because I was thinking about this Matthew
and Nicholas in the back, were joined

713
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:14.639
by Christian Cage, Nick Wayne kill
Switch, and mother Wayne in their office.

714
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:19.280
Cage said that if there's anyone he
can trust, it's the EVPs.

715
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:25.119
By the way, a great hour
long interview Chris van Vliet posted earlier today

716
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:30.559
with Christian, I haven't gotten through
the entire thing yet, but anyway,

717
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:34.840
if you have not already checked it
out, it's a great interview and he's

718
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:37.800
very candid in it, more candid
than I think I've ever heard him ever

719
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:40.480
in any interview like this, So
go check that out. I'll tell you

720
00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:45.599
what though, you know, just
as a little side note here. And

721
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:51.159
I think they started this maybe during
the pandemic, but Copeland and Christian they're

722
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:54.480
in business together. They have an
exercise product. It's like a piece of

723
00:55:54.519 --> 00:56:01.840
exercise equipment. I am not someone
who planks, I know planking is a

724
00:56:01.880 --> 00:56:07.800
thing, but it's basically like a
plank board. I think it's called pure

725
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:12.159
plank is the name they gave it. It's interesting because it's got handles on

726
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:16.000
it, I guess to help you
know, kind of cushion your arms when

727
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:20.800
you're down on the ground. I
don't know if anybody watching this or listening

728
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:24.840
to this has tried it or has
bought it specifically their product. But if

729
00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:29.719
so, I'd love to hear from
you, because I was considering it.

730
00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:32.079
It's expensive though, it's like one
hundred and twenty bucks. I could get

731
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:36.960
on the floor right now and fucking
plank without a board, But I would

732
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:38.800
consider because it looks like an interesting
product. But I don't know if anybody's

733
00:56:38.840 --> 00:56:40.920
actually tried it. So if you
have, let me know, because you

734
00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:45.039
know, a lot of these things
are gimmicks and stuff. But I saw

735
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:52.199
Copeland just had surgery for his fractured
tibia, and Ever the promoter, he

736
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.519
posted a video and he's like twelve
hours out of surgery. He walks into

737
00:56:55.559 --> 00:57:00.199
his garage and what does he do. He's on the ground on his plank

738
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:05.079
board. His foot is in a
cast and he's planking on his board.

739
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:12.400
Ever the self promoter, he is. So anyway, we have the patriarchy

740
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:17.119
here talking to the young Bucks,
and Christian said that he was screwed out

741
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:22.440
of the World Championship at double or
nothing. He wants another shot, wants

742
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.559
one more shot at swerve Strickland.
Matt said, look, you guys are

743
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:29.480
one of the best factions. All
of you deserve gold. If we could,

744
00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:30.400
we'd have a belt for you,
and a belt for you, and

745
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:34.599
a belt for you. I mean, isn't that the awa a belt for

746
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:36.559
you, a belt for you,
a belt for me, a belt for

747
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:37.760
her, a belt for him,
a belt for that kid right there,

748
00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:42.920
he goes. If we could do
it, we would do it. He

749
00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:45.599
said. They tried to take care
of a friend, that being Jack Perry,

750
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:47.760
but Tony Khan screwed it all up. Matt said that they still have

751
00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:52.360
some pull and they would see what
they could do. In the meantime,

752
00:57:52.400 --> 00:57:58.199
he said, you keep scratching our
back and we'll scratch yours. And off

753
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:07.599
they went. Mariah May with timeless
Tony Storm taking on Sorea with Harley Cameron

754
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:15.119
and Sorea's brother Zack in her corner. Tony Storm gave Mariah a kiss for

755
00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:20.199
good luck before joining the commentary booth. Sorea attacked Mariah before the bell,

756
00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:25.480
but Mariah quickly fired back with a
forearm shot. Tony Storm tells Mariah May

757
00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:32.280
to smash Sorea's tits, and she
also said that aw is where the breast

758
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:37.920
wrestle. This woman is a national
treasure. This woman needs to be protected

759
00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:39.760
at all class. I can't believe
there are people out there. There are

760
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:44.960
some people who are tired of the
timeless Tony Storm gimmick and think that she

761
00:58:45.000 --> 00:58:52.480
should just end the entire thing.
How How are there people who don't appreciate

762
00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:57.880
Tony Storm. Whatever she sits in
on commentary, it's gold. I would

763
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:04.719
sit through a thousand Tony's Storm on
commentary segments over the fucking learning tree?

764
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:15.639
Are you kidding me? Aw?
Is where the breast wrestle this guy?

765
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:16.880
I mean, that's the only way
Tony Khan may be able to boost the

766
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:20.760
Dynamite ratings, although I will say
the ratings were up quite a bit this

767
00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:23.519
week this past week. We'll see
what the numbers are this week. I'm

768
00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:30.679
very curious. But anyway, Mariah
had a spinning side souplex, Soreya was

769
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:34.880
forced to regroup outside, and so
the chase was on. Harley Cameron missed

770
00:59:34.880 --> 00:59:38.320
de Lariot Sorea, though caught her
with a thrust kick to take control of

771
00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:46.960
the match. During the commercial break, Mariah mounted a comeback and connected with

772
00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:52.480
some sweet cheek music for two.
Soreya applied the inverted sharpshooter with the double

773
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:57.360
chicken wing. As Tony on commentary
was pleading with Mariah, she goes,

774
00:59:57.360 --> 01:00:00.119
you can't be in that move for
very long. It's a very painful haul.

775
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:05.239
And finally Mariah May gave up.
And I'll tell you what I know.

776
01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:08.199
It shouldn't because Soraya is the more
established of the two, and Soraya

777
01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:13.840
is a former AW Women's World Champion. But this felt like an upset to

778
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:17.239
me. I mean this, this
really did think of the TV time that

779
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:21.599
has been devoted in the last couple
of months to Mariah May, the wins

780
01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:24.599
that she's been racking up. We
how how often have we seen Soraya on

781
01:00:24.679 --> 01:00:30.559
AW Dynamite in the last several months, right, I mean not very often.

782
01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:38.840
Her last singles match was in December. So this this felt very much

783
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:47.400
like an upset to me. Tony
Storm rushes into the ring bothman entertainment.

784
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:53.840
How can one not love timeless Tony
Storm? I agree? I agree.

785
01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:02.639
So Tony gets into the ring to
go check on Soirea though and Harley Attack

786
01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:08.760
put the boots to the bulk of
them. When here comes Mina Shirakawa of

787
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:14.639
stardom. She comes running down to
the ring and she cleans house, and

788
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:17.679
then she goes over and she comforts
Mariah May. Tony's Storm is in the

789
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:22.800
corner and she kind of shakes off
the cobwebs, looks over and she sees

790
01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:29.639
this. She sees Mina with Mariah. Now Mina is challenging Tony Storm for

791
01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:31.679
the women's world title of Forbidden Door, so they're going to be on opposing

792
01:01:31.719 --> 01:01:37.039
side. So Tony Storm sees this, she gets up and she rushes over

793
01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:43.239
to Mina and they go tits to
tits, and Mariah then ends up stepping

794
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:46.280
between them to play peacemaker, and
she rests both of their heads on her

795
01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:52.320
bosom, and each woman then played
tug of war, essentially tug of war

796
01:01:52.239 --> 01:02:00.519
pulling Mariah's head to their chest.
So the match at Forbidden Door technically is

797
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:07.400
for the aw women's World title,
but really, if we're being honest here,

798
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:13.679
it's for the heart of Mariah May
and the bosom of Maria May,

799
01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:16.880
which is something a lot of us, I think would be willing to fight

800
01:02:16.920 --> 01:02:25.400
for. We were not done yet
with the Learning Tree. I said there

801
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:31.519
was one more. Chris Jericho was
in the back and he approached private party.

802
01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:37.440
He told Cassidy and Mark Quinn that
parties are more fun when they are

803
01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:44.599
open to everyone, and he said, maybe you guys should call yourselves Public

804
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:53.159
Party. Cassidy said they don't really
fit the private party vibe. Big Bill

805
01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:58.719
said that those who need advice the
most don't realize that they need the help,

806
01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:04.559
and Jericho invited Private Party to be
on his TV Time talk show segment

807
01:03:05.639 --> 01:03:15.199
next week, Wonderful Can't Wait.
Backstage, Brian Danielson is standing there all

808
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:19.639
by himself and he puts over a
Wheeler Yudah, winning the match for his

809
01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:23.400
team. Earlier tonight said that he
couldn't be prouder. He said eight months

810
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:29.599
ago he said this was his final
year as a full time wrestler, and

811
01:03:29.639 --> 01:03:32.400
to be honest, it hasn't been
what he wanted. He lost to Christian

812
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:37.639
Cage for the TNT title. He
lost in the finals of the Continental Classic.

813
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:42.480
He lost to Okada in the Tokyo
Dome. Every big match he didn't

814
01:03:42.519 --> 01:03:47.199
he lose, also to Zach Saber. I thought he lost the rematch to

815
01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:52.480
Zach Saber Junior. Every big match
he says, he loses. And the

816
01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:58.639
straw that broke the Camel's back was
losing an anarchy in the arena. Danielson

817
01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:01.280
said his career is not over yet, so when Tony Cohn announced the winner

818
01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:06.039
of the owen Hart Tournament gets an
AEW World title shot at All in London,

819
01:04:06.719 --> 01:04:11.719
that got him excited. He said, this could be his last shot

820
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:15.920
and if he's going out, he's
going out on top. That's right.

821
01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:23.039
This was great, This was great. And the first big name to throw

822
01:04:23.119 --> 01:04:28.039
his name in the hat or the
owen Hart Tournament is Brian Danglson, someone

823
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:33.360
who somehow has never been the AW
World champion before and would certainly be deserving

824
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:35.599
of at least a short run with
the title. I don't know that he'll

825
01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:40.679
ever get it, but I'm very
happy that he is in the tournament.

826
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:44.440
And there's any number of ways this
can go, because I don't see Danilson

827
01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:48.920
winning the tournament. You know,
a year ago before Wembley, I thought

828
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:53.320
the direction and I think since then
we've learned that. I think it was

829
01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:59.719
talked about, but Brian got hurt
and he wasn't on the show. But

830
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:02.400
Danielson against Nigel McGinnis I thought was
going to be the match last year.

831
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:06.000
I still think that's going to be
the match this year. I think Nigel

832
01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:11.599
would love to have a match with
Wembley. God knows. Now for the

833
01:05:11.679 --> 01:05:15.840
last year he's been healing on Danielson
on collision, you know, on commentary

834
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:20.559
every chance he gets. It's got
to be building to a match between the

835
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:25.880
two, and Wembley would be the
perfect place for it. So I don't

836
01:05:25.960 --> 01:05:29.360
see Danielson winning the tournament, but
I'm damn sure happy he's in it,

837
01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:31.119
and let's see who he ends up
fighting too, because again, you put

838
01:05:31.159 --> 01:05:33.679
some big names in this thing,
and we could get some really great fucking

839
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:38.159
matches in this tournament. That's the
other reason I'm excited if you get big

840
01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:41.239
names in there. You get eight
big names in this tournament, let's say,

841
01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.639
and it's like the Continental Classic.
I mean, you can get any

842
01:05:44.719 --> 01:05:47.760
number of interesting matchups in it,
and you could spin them off, even

843
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:53.199
into matches that could happen at Wembley
or you know, some other time.

844
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:57.199
So that's where I think the Owen
tournaments can end up being a lot of

845
01:05:57.199 --> 01:06:00.599
fun. But very happy to hear
that Danielson is going to be part of

846
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:06.280
that tournament. The main event was
Swerve Strickland defending the aw World Championship against

847
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:12.320
Roderick Strong with Matt tavin and Mike
Bennett in his corner. This was very

848
01:06:12.320 --> 01:06:15.760
good stuff from these two. No
surprise there. Strickland tried a house call

849
01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:20.280
kick early, only for Roddy to
take a powder outside. Matt Tavian ran

850
01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:27.480
distraction, Roddy hit a backbreaker across
the top rope. Strong hit a baseball

851
01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:31.599
slide only for Swerve to catch him. He catapult him into the ring post

852
01:06:31.719 --> 01:06:39.960
outside, leading to one final commercial
break. Hey there's Uncle Saudi. Everybody

853
01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:45.119
say hello to Uncle Saudi. Always
good to see him drop in here on

854
01:06:45.159 --> 01:06:49.159
these streams. Every time he drops
in on stream, I get a fifty

855
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:56.960
million dollar payoff. I like seeing
Uncle Saudi on here. So Strong took

856
01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:00.719
control during the break. Swerve,
though fired off a desperation swerve stump for

857
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:05.280
the reset, hit the leaping upper
cut from the middle rope, and then

858
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:11.440
did the rolling flatliner and brainbuster for
a near fall. Strickland wanted big pressure,

859
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:15.800
but Bennett distracted and Strong was able
to avoid it. Tavid and Bennett

860
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:19.039
again ran distraction out at ringside and
they caught Swerve on a dive, but

861
01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:24.440
almost didn't. It was a very
sloppy catch. They almost dropped him.

862
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:30.199
Ex Caliber said, well, they're
not being ejected by the referee because they

863
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:38.199
technically did not do anything to swerve
right right outside of the gazillion distractions and

864
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:42.440
all the attempts to interject themselves into
the match, they haven't done anything so

865
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:45.760
far, so we'll take the heat
off the referee. Sure, sure thing.

866
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:50.840
So this allowed Roddy to hit a
flipping soup plex. The xplex onto

867
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:56.280
the edge of the apron, landed
like neck first Swerve did right on the

868
01:07:56.320 --> 01:07:59.960
edge of the ring that looked brutal. So back inside Strong hit a code

869
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:03.480
breaker off of a rolling flatliner attempt, and then it followed with the angle

870
01:08:03.559 --> 01:08:09.440
slam, tiger driver and sick kick. Combo only got a two count out

871
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:13.719
of it. Both men went to
the apron, Swerve swept out the legs,

872
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:18.000
so Roddy was dangling off his feet
were under the bottom rope. Swerve

873
01:08:18.840 --> 01:08:23.720
slingshot over the top rope, hit
a stomp to the floor. Back inside

874
01:08:23.920 --> 01:08:28.920
Strong side stepped the house called,
but Swerve caught the pumpkney and finally hit

875
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:32.239
the house call kick for the win. And so I know you're all going

876
01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:36.119
to be very shocked by this.
But to the surprise of absolutely no one,

877
01:08:36.479 --> 01:08:42.439
Swerve Strickland beats Roderick Strong and retains
his aw World title, and it

878
01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:46.600
will be Swerve Strickland one on one
with will Osprey at Forbidden Door. Prince

879
01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:50.439
Nana can go to the post office
now in the morning and he can fire

880
01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:56.720
off that contract to will Osprey over
in the UK, and the show ended.

881
01:08:57.520 --> 01:09:01.760
I should mention this, The show
actually ended with Swerve and Prince Nana

882
01:09:02.079 --> 01:09:09.279
out at ringside with an old lady, an old woman who was sitting front

883
01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:15.319
row ringside, and they were swerving
with the old lady. Old lady was

884
01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:19.680
getting into it in the front row. Always good to see stunt Granny out

885
01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:24.359
there. I haven't seen Stunt Granny
in a while, but there she was

886
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:29.479
enjoying herself. So now that we
know it's official, where are they going

887
01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:31.600
to go with this? This is
the million dollar question here because this is

888
01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:36.039
going to have very big implications for
all in London. We have Swerve and

889
01:09:36.079 --> 01:09:40.000
will Osprey. I have no issue
with them doing this match in the main

890
01:09:40.039 --> 01:09:43.079
event of Forbidden Door. I think
it's great. I think it's great.

891
01:09:43.479 --> 01:09:45.800
It keeps Swerve front and center.
Now for the rest of the month.

892
01:09:46.239 --> 01:09:49.479
This is going to be the main
event Clearcut main event on that show.

893
01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:55.279
Right It's not Swerve against the CMLL
talent, it's not Swerve against the New

894
01:09:55.359 --> 01:10:00.880
Japan talent. It's an AW match
for the AW World Heavyweight title. What

895
01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:05.319
do you do? What you do? And the reason I think I hope

896
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:10.760
that they're doing this match now and
not waiting until London is because we're gonna

897
01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:14.159
get more than one match out of
it. Swerve Strickland needs to win this

898
01:10:14.279 --> 01:10:17.279
match. I feel it would be
a huge slap in the face if he

899
01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:21.319
walks in there and loses the title. You know, he won the title

900
01:10:21.319 --> 01:10:25.800
of Dynasty. He had one pay
per view title defense so far. That

901
01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:30.239
was against Christian Cage. He's had
a couple on TV against Claudio and against

902
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:32.960
Roddy. But now he's going to
go in there against will Ospring, who

903
01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:39.640
is riding this wave of momentum,
undefeated since signing with AAW International champion,

904
01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:44.840
one of the biggest baby faces,
if not the biggest babyface in this company

905
01:10:44.920 --> 01:10:47.520
right now. It's either him or
MJF. I can't say Swerve. As

906
01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:50.960
popular as he is, Swerve is
two or three. He's not number one

907
01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:56.079
now, but he's up there.
Those are your top three. I would

908
01:10:56.079 --> 01:10:59.000
not take the title off Swerve at
forbidden door. I think that would be

909
01:10:59.039 --> 01:11:03.000
a mistake. I think Swerve needs
to win. He could win by cheating.

910
01:11:03.439 --> 01:11:05.600
I mean, hell, if they
want to turn him back heel again,

911
01:11:05.960 --> 01:11:11.159
but he has to win. You've
got the Owen Hart Tournament coming up.

912
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:15.720
Before I even knew they were gonna
do this match this quickly, I

913
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:18.479
had will Osprey peg to win that
tournament and going to the main event at

914
01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:21.760
Wembley, challenging for the world time. I would not change a thing.

915
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:26.560
I still think that will Osprey should
win the Owen. He should be in

916
01:11:26.600 --> 01:11:29.119
the Owen. He should go to
the main event at Wembley. He should

917
01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:32.199
win the championship at Wembley Stadium.
That is the place for him to win

918
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:38.399
it, not in New York.
It would be booking foolishness to put the

919
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:43.960
world title on will Ospray on Long
Island when you're two months away from Wembley.

920
01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:47.279
It's like, you don't do that. That would be very dumb.

921
01:11:49.279 --> 01:11:54.439
The only thing I'm unsure of as
I look at the timing of everything,

922
01:11:55.520 --> 01:12:00.960
this main event is not taking place
until June thirtieth, that's the very last

923
01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:04.800
day of this month. The finals
of the OH Win. The finals are

924
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:10.680
taking place on July tenth in Calgary, that's less than two weeks later.

925
01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:16.439
This tournament is going to start in
a few weeks. So is will Osprey

926
01:12:16.479 --> 01:12:21.000
even going to be in the tournament? It wouldn't make any sense right for

927
01:12:21.079 --> 01:12:25.199
him to be in the tournament if
he's already got a World championship match of

928
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:30.119
Forbidden Door. How do you justify
having him in the tournament if he's already

929
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:33.159
got a title shot. That's the
only thing that concerns me and has me

930
01:12:33.279 --> 01:12:36.560
thinking there's a chance maybe he won't
be in that tournament, But I think

931
01:12:36.560 --> 01:12:40.039
he should be, and I think
he should win, and that's how he

932
01:12:40.079 --> 01:12:44.520
gets his rematch and then you can
put the title on it. Yeah,

933
01:12:44.520 --> 01:12:47.800
it's the same thing with Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe had this short run,

934
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:53.359
relatively short run a few months as
the aw world champion, didn't have that

935
01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:58.279
many title defenses. But I love
Joe as the champion. Joe just looked

936
01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:00.680
the part, sounded the when he
was out there. He was out there

937
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:04.960
spitting fire on the mic, cutting
promos, the guy's a fucking boss.

938
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:09.680
I loved it. And at Revolution
they did that triple threat with him and

939
01:13:09.760 --> 01:13:12.279
Swerve and Hangman, and I said, man, you know what, it's

940
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:15.800
too soon. You don't want to
take the title of Samoa Joe yet.

941
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:19.359
And they did fast Forward, not
even I mean, what was it not

942
01:13:19.439 --> 01:13:27.359
even a full two months later Dynasty
right late April. It was time February.

943
01:13:27.439 --> 01:13:30.920
I'm sorry, the beginning of March
wasn't the right time. By the

944
01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:34.359
time we got to Dynasty, it
felt like Swerve's moment. There are just

945
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:40.439
times where it's like it doesn't feel
right, but then it does. Now

946
01:13:40.520 --> 01:13:43.600
it would still be a relatively short
run for Swerve. I know some people

947
01:13:43.640 --> 01:13:46.000
would be upset if he goes to
Wembley and loses the title, but I

948
01:13:46.039 --> 01:13:49.600
think that's exactly what's going to happen, whether it's to will Osprey or MJF

949
01:13:49.640 --> 01:13:55.239
or somebody else. I think though, that now would be the wrong time

950
01:13:55.279 --> 01:14:00.279
to take that title away from him
and to put it on will Osprey New

951
01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:03.439
York Again. To me, that
would be very dumb. One thing that

952
01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:06.159
you could do if you wanted to
give him a little bit of an out.

953
01:14:06.399 --> 01:14:12.039
He is the international champion. Now, if he wants to defend his

954
01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:15.680
title at Forbidden Door, he could
defend the international title in the opening match.

955
01:14:15.760 --> 01:14:17.640
You could put him in a match
with somebody, give somebody a crack

956
01:14:17.680 --> 01:14:21.159
at the international title, you know, maybe even somebody from New Japan,

957
01:14:24.079 --> 01:14:29.359
and he wins right, retains his
title. But he just went through a

958
01:14:29.399 --> 01:14:32.720
grueling fifteen to twenty minute match at
the beginning of the show. So if

959
01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:35.560
he comes back and loses in the
main event, you could even use that

960
01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:39.199
as an out. I'm not even
saying you need to do that, It's

961
01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:42.920
just an idea, you know,
if you wanted that title defended on that

962
01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:45.399
show, because it's not going to
be title for title in the main event.

963
01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:49.600
So that's another possible, you know, thing that they could look into

964
01:14:49.640 --> 01:14:54.880
there. But that's how I see
things playing out. Maybe it's just me

965
01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:58.920
hoping. I was listening to MJF
and that opening segment, and boy,

966
01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:03.079
you know, it certainly sounds like
there's a chance they could be angling for

967
01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:10.479
you know, MJF against BRUV for
the championship at Wembley Stadium. I think

968
01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:13.840
that would be a not that it
wouldn't be a big match, but I

969
01:15:13.880 --> 01:15:17.279
think that would be a huge mistake
to rush right into that. I would

970
01:15:17.399 --> 01:15:21.680
absolutely not be doing that. So
hopefully that's the way it plays out.

971
01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:25.640
Everything is there, with the Owen
and everything. It's just it's set up

972
01:15:25.640 --> 01:15:29.920
perfectly. I'm just again a little
unsure about the timing of when those Owen

973
01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:33.760
matches start, you know, if
Osprey's even going to be in the damn

974
01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:38.479
thing. I'll tell you what I
was surprised by. They did not announce

975
01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:43.119
I don't believe a single match for
Collision. They announced some stuff for rampage,

976
01:15:43.199 --> 01:15:46.239
nothing for Collision, which is rare. They usually announce at least one

977
01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:50.119
thing for Collision, but there was
nothing that they announced on this show.

978
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:55.920
I just was not a fan of
the show overall. I like the open,

979
01:15:56.359 --> 01:15:59.680
I like the end, and I
just didn't care all that much for

980
01:15:59.720 --> 01:16:02.000
what can in the middle. You
know, two segments does not make a

981
01:16:02.039 --> 01:16:05.920
great show. So I thought this
episode was a swing and a miss.

982
01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:11.359
Not that they didn't forward certain stories
they needed to forward, They're just I

983
01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:15.119
just there's just nothing there. There's
just nothing to get excited about. It

984
01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:18.720
was very dead, very dead in
the middle of the show. They opened

985
01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:23.880
strong, they close strong, but
everything in the middle completely missible, especially

986
01:16:23.960 --> 01:16:28.720
the Jericho stuff. Do yourself a
favor, just skip over that it's not

987
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:33.399
worth your time. Here's a din
of my poll. Forty percent thumbs up

988
01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:40.960
for Tonight twenty four twenty four point
six in the middle, thirty five percent

989
01:16:41.039 --> 01:16:45.039
thumbs down. That's pretty close.
Those numbers are all pretty bunched up there.

990
01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:50.119
That's with twelve hundred plus votes in. I'm sure there's a lot of

991
01:16:51.479 --> 01:16:56.800
comments in the comment section. I'm
sure a lot of divided opinion about this

992
01:16:56.920 --> 01:17:00.680
show. Definitely not what I would
call it great episode of dynamite. Tonight

993
01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:05.840
did not like it. Was not
a fan of this show overall. Sorry,

994
01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:12.399
didn't do it for me. Hopefully
it did it. Hopefully it did

995
01:17:12.399 --> 01:17:15.239
it for you. Hopefully it was
better for you than it was for me.

996
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:23.319
All right, let's get to your
messages here. Let's forget the learning

997
01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:31.039
tree. Uh smoking dried chicken without
flavor is starting us off here. The

998
01:17:31.079 --> 01:17:39.079
acclaim should consider planning stink planting.
He means, he said planning You forgot

999
01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:45.560
the tea planting stink bombs inside the
Bucks locker room. And he says,

1000
01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:48.520
I would love to give Soreya a
bucket of fried chicken from KFC, so

1001
01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:55.760
I can enjoy watching her eat it, and okay, I'll admit it.

1002
01:17:55.960 --> 01:18:00.600
Cool ain't the right word for NXT. I mean those messages, we're all

1003
01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:08.640
over the place, but thank you, thank you all the same, Dick

1004
01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:14.600
the Cock Johnson. Nigel McGuinness costs
Brian the Owen Final against Hangman, I

1005
01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:18.600
am calling it. No, I
don't know. I don't see Nigel getting

1006
01:18:18.640 --> 01:18:28.800
involved in like running in there and
costing him, although that would get Nigel

1007
01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:32.079
some heat if Dangleson was this close
from winning the Owen and then he got

1008
01:18:32.119 --> 01:18:35.279
fucked over by Nigel McGuinness. But
I don't know what would be the impetus

1009
01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:40.119
for him even doing that, unless
the story is that Nigel is just so

1010
01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:44.840
desperate to get a match at Wembley
Stadium and he hates Brian so much that

1011
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:49.199
it just overwhelmed him and he just
decided to randomly get up off the commentary

1012
01:18:49.279 --> 01:18:54.199
desk and just go interfere in the
men's match. It just feels a little

1013
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:56.960
forced to me. I would think
that they can come up with a more

1014
01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:00.880
simpler story if they want to get
to Brian Danglson and Nigel McGinnis for a

1015
01:19:00.920 --> 01:19:05.640
match Oz, and Gloria says,
shout out to all the branches, thanks

1016
01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:17.960
guys, and normalize tribalism and shout
out to the droning drones in the chat

1017
01:19:17.960 --> 01:19:24.039
to Oz with the five dollars super
chat. I have never seen Page wrestle.

1018
01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:29.479
How were or are her matches compared
to Soirea matches in aw She seems

1019
01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:35.239
to move a little bit slower than
everybody else she is. I think she's

1020
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:39.680
always been a little tentative in the
ring. I mean maybe a little more

1021
01:19:39.720 --> 01:19:45.399
so now because it's understandable given her
neck issues in the past. Honestly,

1022
01:19:45.439 --> 01:19:49.760
I mean her matches. Her matches
now aren't radically different from the matches I

1023
01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:56.439
remember her having in WWA. I
can't say that there's a huge difference.

1024
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:04.279
To Juliette. Oscar posted a photo
of what looked like her knee post surgery

1025
01:20:04.840 --> 01:20:10.520
in Embrace and seemingly on a hospital
bed. Tough break for Oscar. Yeah,

1026
01:20:10.520 --> 01:20:14.399
Osca is dealing with a kneat problem
that's been plaguing her for several months,

1027
01:20:14.439 --> 01:20:18.520
So hopefully she'll heal quickly because they
need her back as soon as possible.

1028
01:20:18.560 --> 01:20:20.960
I mean, think about it.
The raw women's division has now lost

1029
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:26.079
Rhea, Ripley, Becky Lynch and
Oscar. And here I was coming out

1030
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:28.680
of the draft saying, holy shit, look at what Triple Ah did to

1031
01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:31.039
the Raw women's division. Right he
moved all of damage control over. He's

1032
01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:36.119
got Becky, He's got Rha.
They called up Lyra Valkyria. This is

1033
01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:40.800
what happens. You know, you
get bit by the injury bug, or

1034
01:20:40.840 --> 01:20:43.840
in the case of Becky, you
know the contract expired and she's going to

1035
01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:46.319
go away for a while. Shit
happens, and all of a sudden,

1036
01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:50.319
you're right back to the way things
were. Not a lot of depth in

1037
01:20:50.359 --> 01:20:55.399
the women's division on Raw all of
a sudden, So they need Oscar and

1038
01:20:55.479 --> 01:21:02.479
Riha back as soon as possible.
Paul Carpenter with the five dollars, has

1039
01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:06.520
anybody or is I guess he says, is anybody? Is anybody going to

1040
01:21:06.560 --> 01:21:13.680
talk about how Adam Cole got buried? But anyway, watching old ww eclips

1041
01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:19.000
when he was the wing angle brought
in and what I don't know what that

1042
01:21:19.039 --> 01:21:24.439
means, and Adam Cole is hurt. I don't know what you want them

1043
01:21:24.439 --> 01:21:29.920
to do. The Undisputed Kingdom has
been a colossal failure. The Undisputed Kingdom

1044
01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:33.079
sucks. Okay, that's the bottom
line. I don't blame Adam Cole for

1045
01:21:33.119 --> 01:21:36.439
that, but it sucks. But
there's only so much they can do with

1046
01:21:36.520 --> 01:21:41.000
somebody who's hurt and can't really do
much. I mean, now, at

1047
01:21:41.039 --> 01:21:44.119
least he's able to walk around.
He took a bump from MJF at double

1048
01:21:44.199 --> 01:21:46.239
or nothing. That's a good sign. But he is still not ready to

1049
01:21:46.279 --> 01:21:49.800
come back. That's why they did
what they did. They basically blew the

1050
01:21:49.840 --> 01:21:53.439
angle off because he's not going to
be ready to come back for a while.

1051
01:21:54.199 --> 01:21:59.039
But the Undisputed Kingdom is shit,
and I would say, let's wait

1052
01:21:59.119 --> 01:22:02.600
until Adam Cole comes back and can
actually get involved again before we say that

1053
01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:10.560
the man is buried. Eric Perkins, thank you for the dollar ninety nine

1054
01:22:10.760 --> 01:22:14.880
HBKC eighty three. What is the
best heel versus heel match that you have

1055
01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:20.680
seen? Not too many great ones
that jump out to me. Heel against

1056
01:22:20.680 --> 01:22:29.439
heel, I don't know, heel
against here, I don't know none that

1057
01:22:29.520 --> 01:22:34.159
stand out to me. Is being
any great shakes that I could really recommend

1058
01:22:34.239 --> 01:22:39.920
to you, like a list of
my three or five favorites. Nothing jumps

1059
01:22:39.920 --> 01:22:43.680
out of me. I'm sure there's
been some very good ones, though.

1060
01:22:44.359 --> 01:22:50.000
Devin from New Jersey Desolo wear polos. You must not be watching every stream,

1061
01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:55.680
because occasionally I have war polos right
here on these on these streams,

1062
01:22:56.880 --> 01:23:00.119
Doubles Bro, your Tony con impression
had me in tears. Thank you for

1063
01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:06.680
the laugh. I'm glad you are
entertained. I hope you were more entertained

1064
01:23:06.680 --> 01:23:13.760
than you were watching Dynamite tonight.
Oznglori is lol at the logan Paul Apologist

1065
01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:25.159
crying about Rushe Solomaster the only fair
imbalanced creator left. Thank you, Oz,

1066
01:23:26.760 --> 01:23:30.399
Jerome Ugenio. When Mariah and Tony
Storm split up, who will be

1067
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:33.880
the face and who will be the
heel? That is a very good question,

1068
01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:38.279
and I feel like if it is
based off of all about Eve,

1069
01:23:38.399 --> 01:23:45.239
then I guess Tony would be the
babyface and Mariah would be the heel.

1070
01:23:45.560 --> 01:23:47.039
Now that doesn't mean that's the way
the fans are gonna take it, I

1071
01:23:47.079 --> 01:23:50.960
would think though, I mean I
would think, just based on the story

1072
01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:56.800
that it would be Tony as the
babyface. But again with the fans,

1073
01:23:56.840 --> 01:24:00.239
the fans are going to gravitate to
whoever they're going to gravitate to, and

1074
01:24:00.399 --> 01:24:06.159
they could be very unpredictable, so
I don't know who they're going to side

1075
01:24:06.159 --> 01:24:13.000
with, but I would think Tony
storm Oz and Glorious Solomoster against Onions.

1076
01:24:13.079 --> 01:24:25.560
Twenty twenty four finish the story Dark
Effect with the one hundred dollars super chat

1077
01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:29.880
from earlier on in the stream Dark
Effect Man, I salute you, thank

1078
01:24:29.880 --> 01:24:32.760
you very much. Your idea with
the Bucks and Tony Kahan makes too much

1079
01:24:32.760 --> 01:24:36.800
sense. Having con out for a
while when the Bucks run roughshot. That's

1080
01:24:36.840 --> 01:24:42.800
not what AW is about. The
only story they're invested in is for fourteen

1081
01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:46.000
year old boys. I apologize if
this sounds mean. I am just frustrated

1082
01:24:46.039 --> 01:24:51.880
with AW. Brother. You convent
all you want to. If you are

1083
01:24:53.359 --> 01:24:57.000
a fan, then you care,
and if you care, sometimes you're going

1084
01:24:57.039 --> 01:25:00.039
to be frustrated and sometimes you're going
to be happy. I think the the

1085
01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:02.920
worst thing that if you are Tony
Kahan, or if you are AW,

1086
01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:08.640
or if you are a wrestler,
the worst thing in the world would be

1087
01:25:08.720 --> 01:25:12.479
apathy. And people who just don't
care, you know, they can't even

1088
01:25:12.479 --> 01:25:16.560
bring themselves to care enough to give
a shit or really be invested at all.

1089
01:25:17.039 --> 01:25:20.800
Apathy is the last thing that you
want. You want that passion,

1090
01:25:21.479 --> 01:25:25.560
you know, and sometimes the passion
is going to be directed in a negative

1091
01:25:25.600 --> 01:25:28.800
way, and sometimes the passion is
going to be directed in a positive way.

1092
01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:31.279
And some people can take the positive
and they can't take the negative.

1093
01:25:31.479 --> 01:25:35.319
There's a lot of AW stars on
that roster who can't take the negative.

1094
01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:41.439
We all know who they are.
I don't need to name names. That's

1095
01:25:41.479 --> 01:25:45.000
just the way it is. But
brother, you con vent all you want

1096
01:25:45.039 --> 01:25:46.880
to. Man, that's what fans
do. There ain't nothing wrong with that.

1097
01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:53.560
Ted Evans, just like hearing this
superchat, keep up the good work.

1098
01:25:53.760 --> 01:25:57.199
Thank you again, Ted Bender mc
simpson. With the four ninety nine

1099
01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:01.960
with Swerve, Osprey and MJF.
The main event seeing in AW is set

1100
01:26:02.039 --> 01:26:09.079
for years to come. If they
can stay healthy, then absolutely, But

1101
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:14.199
the way they have been just obliterated
with injuries, I would like to hope

1102
01:26:14.720 --> 01:26:18.640
that their injury problems are going to
slow down. They have been hit by

1103
01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:24.680
just a deluge of tough injuries.
A lot of people still out, still

1104
01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:28.520
going to be out for a while. I hope to God these three guys

1105
01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:31.760
can stay healthy. And if that's
the case, then you got three solid

1106
01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:34.640
names right there at the top of
the car that Tony Khan can depend upon,

1107
01:26:35.720 --> 01:26:39.920
Oz and Glory is. I'd rather
see one hundred Learning Tree segments than

1108
01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:45.600
listen to one more second of Daniel
Garcia mumbling about grind potential and or winning

1109
01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:51.920
anything. And Timeless Tony Storm is
the best thing on TV period. She

1110
01:26:53.119 --> 01:27:00.159
is great, Hoffman says, how
can one not love timeless Tony's I don't

1111
01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:08.359
know. That's a great question.
I don't know, Oz says Mariah on

1112
01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:14.600
a Pole match bro we may end
up with something like that. It may

1113
01:27:14.640 --> 01:27:18.960
be Mariah may out a pole Dark
Effect with a twenty five spot, just

1114
01:27:18.960 --> 01:27:23.239
showing the love Solough. I haven't
had a chance to catch the live streams

1115
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:26.840
lately. Life has been rough,
but love the channel and the podcast.

1116
01:27:26.880 --> 01:27:30.319
Thank you for what you do here
every week, Dark Effect, Thank you

1117
01:27:30.520 --> 01:27:35.119
very much. You know where to
find me anytime you need to kick back

1118
01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:40.880
and decompress. That's what these streams
are good for. Smoking dried Chicken says

1119
01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:48.520
Private Party is going to ask for
hbk's number. No cap If Osprey beats

1120
01:27:48.520 --> 01:27:54.039
Swerve, this run has been a
failure. Amongst countless other world champions for

1121
01:27:54.159 --> 01:28:00.239
aw look, Swerve is putting the
work in every time he goes out there.

1122
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:02.399
Man, he's having kick ass matches. He's doing everything right, He's

1123
01:28:02.439 --> 01:28:05.319
doing everything he can. You know, he was on Busted Open Radio this

1124
01:28:05.399 --> 01:28:10.439
week and I saw I saw a
couple of clips and I saw Bully Ray

1125
01:28:10.520 --> 01:28:14.479
made a comment. Again, honestly, it's not even a big deal,

1126
01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:17.880
but he made a comment and he
I think he was referring to either double

1127
01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:25.840
or Nothing or Forbidden Door coming up
as their upcoming pl and Swerve corrected him

1128
01:28:25.840 --> 01:28:29.279
and said, no, we don't
do pls. We do pay per views,

1129
01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:33.920
and Bully sounded like, you know, he was not happy about being

1130
01:28:34.039 --> 01:28:39.199
checked by Swerve and again in the
grand scheme, it's not a big deal.

1131
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:43.119
But like this guy, you know, he's setting people straight, like,

1132
01:28:43.119 --> 01:28:45.720
hey, we don't do that here, that's the other guys. We

1133
01:28:45.760 --> 01:28:49.479
do pay per views, which is
true. I just paid fifty bucks for

1134
01:28:49.479 --> 01:28:54.720
the last one, so he's not
wrong. But like he's been out there

1135
01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:58.840
doing interviews, and he's been out
there representing as the champion, representing the

1136
01:28:58.840 --> 01:29:02.079
brand and representing the company and doing
a fine job. And yes, if

1137
01:29:02.159 --> 01:29:06.880
he drops that title at forbidden door. I think that is the biggest slap

1138
01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:13.319
in the man's face that Tony Khan
could possibly give him. I think it's

1139
01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:15.399
I just think it's the wrong move. I think it would be a big

1140
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:19.920
mistake. I think it would be
very short sighted. And I'm hoping and

1141
01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:25.960
expecting that that will not happen.
But you know, Tony Cohn may be

1142
01:29:26.039 --> 01:29:28.560
looking at Wembley and he may be
looking at that and going, man,

1143
01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:31.199
I want to sell more tickets,
and now I'm looking at the shiny new

1144
01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:34.239
toy, which is well, you
know, this would be a great match,

1145
01:29:34.279 --> 01:29:38.199
but man, this match would be
a bigger match. Dan, this

1146
01:29:38.279 --> 01:29:40.680
match would be a dream match.
We got to go with this match,

1147
01:29:40.800 --> 01:29:43.520
and you know, all of a
sudden you go to pivot this way and

1148
01:29:43.520 --> 01:29:45.960
Swerve is left out in the cold. And I'm hoping that is not the

1149
01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:51.000
case. I don't want to see
that. I think you take him at

1150
01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:57.439
least to Wembley at least, and
then if you want to change the title,

1151
01:29:58.399 --> 01:30:05.079
you change the title. There dev
to Dust Buzzer or Bell Darby Allen

1152
01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:10.119
against Mike Ausoin. Oh my god, that's a huge bell. Are you

1153
01:30:10.199 --> 01:30:14.039
kidding me? Do you know what
Mike Austin would do to Darby Allen.

1154
01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:18.520
Can you imagine Darby Allen taking an
awesome bomb? How far he would probably

1155
01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:27.840
be thrown? Arabian night After that
Andrade tweet Tony Khan be like, hmm

1156
01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:31.720
okay, I'm gonna push Rush in
a program with a non Latino and our

1157
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:43.720
top guy. Follow that, triple
h tweet is incoming, smoking dried chicken

1158
01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:47.159
with the five fuck it, I'm
setting the bar real load tonight. This

1159
01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:54.439
chicken here would watch the Bella or
Garcia twins over the Bucks, Bremode and

1160
01:30:54.640 --> 01:31:01.600
Rack Attack City. You know,
be careful what you wish for. I've

1161
01:31:01.680 --> 01:31:10.079
seen Nikki Bella in interviews talk about
the possibility of maybe coming to aw one

1162
01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:14.520
day. It's not far fetched that
the twins may end up there at some

1163
01:31:14.600 --> 01:31:20.760
point for a short run. You
know, Bree's husband is there. They

1164
01:31:20.760 --> 01:31:27.359
don't have any connections to WWE anymore. Barry m Case has just watched the

1165
01:31:27.439 --> 01:31:33.520
opening match to the two thousand and
five Great American Bash where Lod beats Eminem

1166
01:31:33.720 --> 01:31:38.800
for the tag team titles, and
it's just really sad seeing Animal without Hawk.

1167
01:31:39.159 --> 01:31:43.680
Yeah, you know I felt that
way also whenever I occasionally come across

1168
01:31:44.039 --> 01:31:48.680
Hawk in the early nineties in Japan
with Power Warrior. You know when he

1169
01:31:48.720 --> 01:31:53.399
and Animal had their split. It's
just not the same. It's just not

1170
01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:58.079
Yeah, when you have an iconic
team like that, you can't replace the

1171
01:31:58.119 --> 01:32:02.680
other person and expect it to be
the same. It's just not. Hoffman

1172
01:32:02.760 --> 01:32:05.680
says, hopefully it was better for
you than it was for me. Something

1173
01:32:05.720 --> 01:32:12.399
you don't want her to say.
Well, I said it about Dynamite tonight,

1174
01:32:12.439 --> 01:32:15.359
but that is true. You make
a good point. No cap mjf

1175
01:32:15.479 --> 01:32:21.359
undisputed Kingdom feud over for the time
being. Yes, but it's just on

1176
01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:25.000
the back burner right now. Adam
Cole is not ready to come back.

1177
01:32:27.680 --> 01:32:30.920
Kevin Jordan, what's your thoughts on
the main event of Wembley being a triple

1178
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:40.239
threat match? Now? No triple
threat match with Danielson, Swerve and Osprey.

1179
01:32:42.039 --> 01:32:46.079
I think that would be an excellent
match, but I am of the

1180
01:32:46.199 --> 01:32:53.119
mindset that it should be one on
one. We don't see very many three

1181
01:32:53.119 --> 01:32:58.560
ways, not that they don't do
them, but they don't abuse them in

1182
01:32:58.600 --> 01:33:04.279
the way that WWE or did.
So Look, it would be a great

1183
01:33:04.319 --> 01:33:10.039
match. I'm not saying it wouldn't
be I think, I just really I

1184
01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:14.800
would love to see Nigel get that
match with Danielson. You get two big

1185
01:33:14.840 --> 01:33:18.600
matches out of it instead of instead
of one, So I wouldn't do it.

1186
01:33:20.000 --> 01:33:25.520
I want it to be one on
one b com see clearly, that

1187
01:33:25.560 --> 01:33:30.880
was Serray's best match in a while. To be honest, it was okay,

1188
01:33:31.319 --> 01:33:33.359
I mean yeah, it was her
best match in a while. When

1189
01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:36.119
was the last time we saw Siray
at a one on one match on Dynamo?

1190
01:33:36.960 --> 01:33:41.680
By default, it was her best
match in a while. Mariah May

1191
01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:45.159
has been having very good matches on
TV, so you know it was good.

1192
01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:49.840
But I can't say it was anything
more than that smoking dried chicken carry

1193
01:33:49.840 --> 01:33:56.479
and Cross being moved to raw equals
the best decision. Well, the jury

1194
01:33:56.560 --> 01:34:00.359
is out on that. I still
have not seen anything all that differ from

1195
01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:03.560
what he was doing on SmackDown.
So let's see where this New Day story

1196
01:34:03.600 --> 01:34:09.640
goes before we start judging carrying Cross's
move to raw. Paul Carpenter with the

1197
01:34:09.680 --> 01:34:13.680
five when was the Winged Eagle title
brought in? I was watching old clips

1198
01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:15.840
and saw Hogan with the title,
and it wasn't the Winged Eagle I started

1199
01:34:15.840 --> 01:34:20.159
watching in eighty seven, eighty eight. So the introduction of the Winged Eagle

1200
01:34:20.520 --> 01:34:27.680
is very weird because the very first
appearance that that title ever made on television

1201
01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:32.000
was on NBC the night that Hogan
had his rematch with Andre on the main

1202
01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:35.760
event. Some people think it was
WrestleMania four. They had the tournament.

1203
01:34:35.840 --> 01:34:39.479
Robin Leech was out there, he
brought the belt down to the ring.

1204
01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:43.840
The first appearance of the Winged Eagle
was on the main event in February of

1205
01:34:43.880 --> 01:34:48.560
eighty eight. It was February fifth
of eighty eight. What's weird about it

1206
01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:57.239
is Hogan was in the back for
a promo supposedly right before, and he

1207
01:34:57.319 --> 01:35:00.039
was still wearing the old belt.
When he came out for the match,

1208
01:35:00.399 --> 01:35:05.119
he had the Winged Eagle on.
It's just it was very strange, like

1209
01:35:05.159 --> 01:35:09.199
he was with one belt in the
back and then he came out with a

1210
01:35:09.239 --> 01:35:13.359
totally new belt. There was no
pomp and circumstance. There was no big

1211
01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:16.199
unveiling or big introduction or anything like
that. It just was there. It

1212
01:35:16.279 --> 01:35:20.840
is like, holy shit, he's
got a new belt. And that was

1213
01:35:20.880 --> 01:35:24.600
the introduction of the Winged Eagle.
So that would have been the beginning of

1214
01:35:24.640 --> 01:35:30.840
February of eighty eight, OZ and
glorious great stream tonight solo Monster, Thanks,

1215
01:35:31.159 --> 01:35:34.000
thank you, oz OZ was all
over the stream tonight. Man.

1216
01:35:34.079 --> 01:35:39.319
I like seeing it smoking dry chicken. We can agree to disagree, but

1217
01:35:39.479 --> 01:35:43.800
NXT is hot, cooking and sexy. I thank Shawn Michaels for catering to

1218
01:35:43.880 --> 01:35:51.439
a young and youthful hip crowd.
Hip crowd is sexy, red hip because

1219
01:35:51.439 --> 01:35:58.680
I heard her music. If that's
what hip is, then I don't need

1220
01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:02.399
to be hip. Hoffman says Bully
ray Field, Swerve talk down to him.

1221
01:36:02.520 --> 01:36:06.640
Well, then, I say,
and then he dropped the bully the

1222
01:36:06.640 --> 01:36:11.640
clown. There you go, Buffman, thank you, give me backshot,

1223
01:36:11.680 --> 01:36:15.279
Salibonster. Have you watched Javon Evans
thoughts on him. I've only seen a

1224
01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:21.479
couple of matches of his, and
I think there's potential there. I can't

1225
01:36:21.520 --> 01:36:30.439
say that I see him blossoming anytime
soon into a major star. He's still

1226
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:35.760
very young. We have to give
him time. But I think that he's

1227
01:36:35.800 --> 01:36:42.600
got certain skills and certain you know, elements to him and his character that

1228
01:36:42.600 --> 01:36:45.920
he's playing on TV. I think
that could work very well for a babyface

1229
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.760
on TV, So I think there's
potential, but it's too too early to

1230
01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:57.560
say anything more than that. Bony, you need to understand these Jericho segments

1231
01:36:57.600 --> 01:37:00.840
are necessary to build him up so
that he can eventually take the title from

1232
01:37:00.920 --> 01:37:03.239
Swerve or Osprey at Wembley. Well, fuck me, I mean, how

1233
01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:06.880
did I not see it? Bony? You know what, Bony is absolutely

1234
01:37:06.960 --> 01:37:13.840
right. I think I've misjudged this
entire thing. Now it all makes sense.

1235
01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:17.880
We're all gonna be sitting under the
learning tree that could actually bring a

1236
01:37:17.960 --> 01:37:24.119
giant tree into Wembley Stadium and have
it hanging standing next to the ring,

1237
01:37:24.159 --> 01:37:30.239
and the tree will overhang the ring. Yeah, that'll be great. Bass

1238
01:37:30.359 --> 01:37:34.199
Bears Heel versus Heel, Randy against
edge On Raw in two thousand and seven

1239
01:37:34.239 --> 01:37:40.439
from the RKO Days rated RKO JBL
against Angle Last Man Standing. Also,

1240
01:37:40.560 --> 01:37:51.199
Orton, Batista and Brock did a
porno God Orton, Bautista and and Brock

1241
01:37:51.319 --> 01:37:59.199
did a promo in twenty fourteen,
But that's not a match, though what

1242
01:37:59.319 --> 01:38:03.279
I said was very very different.
Orton, Batista and Brock did not do

1243
01:38:03.439 --> 01:38:10.920
a porno. They did a promo
in twenty fourteen, and if they did

1244
01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:15.600
do a porno. Then I have
no knowledge of that, Barry MK.

1245
01:38:15.239 --> 01:38:19.880
Also, if you don't know already, wece posted the WCW dot in full

1246
01:38:20.159 --> 01:38:28.520
to YouTube. I did see it. If you are interested in watching that

1247
01:38:28.600 --> 01:38:32.239
first episode of Who Killed WCW,
because God knows that topic hasn't been beaten

1248
01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:36.520
into the fucking ground, you can
watch it. The first episode of this

1249
01:38:36.800 --> 01:38:43.359
new season is up on the Vice
YouTube channel. I am halfway through the

1250
01:38:43.399 --> 01:38:47.399
episode. It's not anything that I'm
gonna be doing like a full blown review

1251
01:38:47.479 --> 01:38:51.439
for like I did for Dark Side
of the Ring, because I mean,

1252
01:38:51.479 --> 01:38:57.039
honestly, there's there's nothing to review. But I am watching it. I'm

1253
01:38:57.039 --> 01:38:59.760
not done with the episode. I
mean it's well done, you know.

1254
01:38:59.840 --> 01:39:03.039
And they have some They actually do
have some exclusive footage at the very beginning

1255
01:39:04.119 --> 01:39:10.199
that's never been released before. They
actually opened the episode with it behind the

1256
01:39:10.199 --> 01:39:14.640
scenes at the very last nitro in
Panama City Beach, so like, there's

1257
01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:17.800
some cool footage like that, But
again, it's just regurgitating the same story

1258
01:39:17.840 --> 01:39:21.600
that we've heard a gazillion times before. I always loved the Eric Bischoff thing.

1259
01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:27.319
Also, by the way of walking
into that meeting at Turner and there's

1260
01:39:27.359 --> 01:39:30.720
Ted Turner, and there's all these
executives at Turner Broadcasting, and Ted Turner

1261
01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:33.720
turns to him and says, Eric, what do we need to do to

1262
01:39:33.760 --> 01:39:40.199
compete with the WWF? And Eric
didn't know the question was coming, and

1263
01:39:40.199 --> 01:39:45.279
he goes, well, you know, they're airing in primetime on a Monday

1264
01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:48.119
night. We're airing at six oh
five on a Saturday. We can't compete

1265
01:39:48.119 --> 01:39:53.399
with them. And Ted Turner turns
and tells one of his stooges. He

1266
01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:58.680
says, I think the guy's name
may have been Eric. Eric, give

1267
01:39:58.760 --> 01:40:03.960
Bischoff two hours TNT every Monday night. And that's a nice story. I

1268
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:08.920
mean, it's a cute little story, except for the fact that Raw was

1269
01:40:09.039 --> 01:40:14.880
not two hours and Nitro was not
two hours in ninety five. So I

1270
01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:16.960
don't know where he got two hours
from. Maybe he just told that story

1271
01:40:17.279 --> 01:40:21.119
so many times over the years that
he actually believes it, or it was

1272
01:40:21.159 --> 01:40:26.439
an hour, but he says two
hours for some reason. Even Nitro wasn't,

1273
01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:29.760
you know, two hours week to
week at the very beginning. I

1274
01:40:29.800 --> 01:40:35.079
mean, Row didn't go two hours
until ninety seven. Anyway, I always

1275
01:40:35.119 --> 01:40:43.520
get a kick out of that.
So those are the super chats there you

1276
01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:46.520
go. Thank you guys very much
for the support tonight. I appreciate it

1277
01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:54.720
very much. We are currently sitting
at four hundred and nineteen likes, which

1278
01:40:54.760 --> 01:40:59.079
I like to see that because that's
enough for us to do some be the

1279
01:40:59.079 --> 01:41:01.439
booker. I thought we might have
to get out of here without doing it,

1280
01:41:01.439 --> 01:41:06.920
but thank you for the likes.
So let's go ahead and make it

1281
01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:12.439
happen. Let's be the booker.
Ladies and gentlemen. It is now time

1282
01:41:12.600 --> 01:41:19.680
to be the booker. Yep Raw
and Nitro were both an hour in the

1283
01:41:19.720 --> 01:41:24.399
early days. They didn't go to
two hours until later on. So maybe,

1284
01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:28.680
hey, you know what, maybe
maybe Ted Turner said to the guy,

1285
01:41:28.800 --> 01:41:32.840
give Eric two hours, and maybe
the executive was like, no,

1286
01:41:33.720 --> 01:41:41.560
we'll give him an hour. Maybe
that's what happened. Uh, Wrestlers and

1287
01:41:41.640 --> 01:41:44.840
their stories, you know, as
soon as they announced the series and they

1288
01:41:44.880 --> 01:41:48.720
showed and there's tons of interviews,
like they interviewed Brett Hart and Goldberg and

1289
01:41:48.800 --> 01:41:57.079
Conan and DDP and Bishoff and Kevin
Sullivan and all these different people, Kevin

1290
01:41:57.159 --> 01:42:04.000
Nash and I'm like, how many
different lies and variations of stories are going

1291
01:42:04.079 --> 01:42:08.800
to be told in this series?
I wonder, doesn't look like they interviewed

1292
01:42:08.800 --> 01:42:14.079
Hogan, so the lie count is
only going to go so high. You

1293
01:42:14.079 --> 01:42:15.359
know, if Hogan were on there, the lie count would be through the

1294
01:42:15.439 --> 01:42:21.079
roof. I don't think he was
interviewed for this. Okay, here we

1295
01:42:21.079 --> 01:42:27.920
got tag team be the Booker.
We begin with Cactus Jack and Terry Funk.

1296
01:42:29.399 --> 01:42:32.319
This was them from their Dumpster match
or WrestleMania of forty or fourteen,

1297
01:42:34.119 --> 01:42:39.560
not forty. We did not have
the ghost of Terry Funk at WrestleMania this

1298
01:42:39.640 --> 01:42:43.680
year. I stand corrected. All
right, Cactus Jack and Terry Funk going

1299
01:42:43.760 --> 01:42:50.159
to be taken on the New Day. Look, I'm tired of the New

1300
01:42:50.239 --> 01:42:53.439
Day, like I know many of
you are at this point. They've been

1301
01:42:53.479 --> 01:42:59.239
together for ten fucking years. But
their resume speaks for itself. Certainly one

1302
01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:02.600
of the best tag teamswe has had
in the last twenty years. And you

1303
01:43:02.640 --> 01:43:05.439
put them against Cactus Jack and Terry
Funk, that would be a big match,

1304
01:43:05.479 --> 01:43:08.880
no matter what you may think,
no matter how played out you may

1305
01:43:08.880 --> 01:43:13.600
think the New Day is. Right
now, that would be a marquee match.

1306
01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:18.199
All right, Women's beat the Booker. Let's move over to the lady's

1307
01:43:18.239 --> 01:43:26.560
side, and we begin with Lana. Lana is gonna go one on one

1308
01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:30.640
with Willow Nightingale. I hate to
do this, I really do, because

1309
01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:33.279
I like Willow a lot, I
really do. I like Willow Nightingale,

1310
01:43:33.319 --> 01:43:43.199
but she ain't no miracle worker.
Not even Willow Nightingale can work miracles.

1311
01:43:44.600 --> 01:43:50.039
And that's a buzzer. That's a
bummer and a buzzer. Sorry, all

1312
01:43:50.119 --> 01:43:56.960
right, made of vent time,
here we go. Let's do it.

1313
01:43:57.760 --> 01:44:02.000
Made of vent time. We begin
with Eli del Vi Kingo, the former

1314
01:44:02.239 --> 01:44:06.920
Triple A Mega champion Vikingo out currently
nursing a knee injury, which is not

1315
01:44:08.039 --> 01:44:12.680
surprising given the style that he works, but that is where the Kingo has

1316
01:44:12.720 --> 01:44:15.760
been Vi Kingo has been out.
So it looks like tonight, hear and

1317
01:44:15.840 --> 01:44:21.560
be the booker. We're booking ourselves
a Rampage main event. The Kingo in

1318
01:44:21.600 --> 01:44:30.800
the Rampage main event is gonna be
wrestling Kenny Omega. Well, that's a

1319
01:44:30.840 --> 01:44:33.079
main event that you could certainly put
on Dynamite. Actually, we did get

1320
01:44:33.079 --> 01:44:35.119
that match on Dynamite, right,
We got that match. I think in

1321
01:44:35.159 --> 01:44:41.239
March of last year. We had
Kenny Omega against Vikingo. On Dynamite.

1322
01:44:41.279 --> 01:44:44.640
I do remember that, and that
was a hell of a match too.

1323
01:44:45.880 --> 01:44:53.479
But Kingo and Kenny Omega, this
is the second stream in a row,

1324
01:44:53.520 --> 01:45:00.960
I think where we have gone two
for three based Bearus, God of Seduction.

1325
01:45:00.079 --> 01:45:08.720
I mean, WrestleMania thirty was technically
WrestleMania x x X. Well you

1326
01:45:08.800 --> 01:45:13.560
really want that porno, don't you. Hey, whatever floats your boat.

1327
01:45:15.000 --> 01:45:17.880
I was at that WrestleMania. Okay, don't go sullying that wrestle media.

1328
01:45:17.920 --> 01:45:24.800
That actually was one of the greatest
WrestleManias they ever did. What is my

1329
01:45:24.880 --> 01:45:31.000
opinion on the Coffee Brothers. I
just say that, I say that out

1330
01:45:31.039 --> 01:45:34.760
loud. I just pictured that.
I just picture them walk into the ring

1331
01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:42.279
like with a big bag of beans. But what's your opinion of the Coffee

1332
01:45:42.319 --> 01:45:47.359
Brothers and Wolfgang from NXT Gallas?
Yes, I think Gallas is good.

1333
01:45:47.600 --> 01:45:51.600
I like Gallis. I don't have
anything against Gallus. Look, I wouldn't

1334
01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:56.119
be shocked to see Gallis end up
with Drew McIntyre on the main roster.

1335
01:45:56.920 --> 01:46:00.560
You know, Drew Mane needs some
backup to protect him from cmpunk fucking his

1336
01:46:00.920 --> 01:46:05.439
world title chances over a clash at
the Castle next weekend, which I only

1337
01:46:05.520 --> 01:46:09.680
just realized today, by the way, that I actually will not be around

1338
01:46:09.720 --> 01:46:13.000
next Saturday, so I will not
be watching Clash at the Castle live,

1339
01:46:13.119 --> 01:46:18.439
which I don't know how. I
I don't know how I didn't realize that.

1340
01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:29.880
But that's for next weekend. Bass
Beers be the Booker. Fatal four

1341
01:46:29.920 --> 01:46:33.960
away was fun. Waiting for Painmaker
Jericho to make another appear ensued. Yes,

1342
01:46:34.039 --> 01:46:40.720
Painmaker is in be the Booker.
He is unmistakable. Whenever we have

1343
01:46:40.840 --> 01:46:44.439
landed on him in the past.
It's hard for me to keep a straight

1344
01:46:44.439 --> 01:46:47.800
face, but he is in there. You know what I'm gonna have to

1345
01:46:47.840 --> 01:46:54.159
do now. I think I'm gonna
have to add the learning tree to be

1346
01:46:54.239 --> 01:47:00.560
the booker. I think so.
Smoking dried chicken, says Billy the puppet

1347
01:47:00.560 --> 01:47:04.079
from Saw, giving you three options. Go through flaming tables for one million

1348
01:47:04.159 --> 01:47:12.640
dollars, walk barefoot on thumbtacks for
five thousand dollars. I will go through

1349
01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:19.039
the flaming table because you didn't say
anything about not putting any flame retardant.

1350
01:47:19.159 --> 01:47:27.760
Whatever that stuff is. It's some
kind of grease or lotion or whatever whatever

1351
01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:30.880
that's called. Like Jack Perry had
it all over himself at double or nothing.

1352
01:47:31.119 --> 01:47:34.159
He didn't say there's no rule against
that. So as long as I

1353
01:47:34.199 --> 01:47:39.039
am well protected, I'll go through
the table and I will take my million

1354
01:47:39.079 --> 01:47:46.680
dollars. Gel that's the word.
What did I say? Lotion gel,

1355
01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:55.520
flame retardant gel that they rub on
you? Devin from New Jersey coming in?

1356
01:47:55.600 --> 01:48:02.239
Does brawl out and brawl in live
rent free in Solo's head? Apparently

1357
01:48:02.279 --> 01:48:04.960
not since the other one who brought
it up, I haven't mentioned it in

1358
01:48:05.000 --> 01:48:09.760
months. I think it lives rent
free in your head. My friend,

1359
01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:14.600
you got to move on, brother, you got to leave that in the

1360
01:48:14.640 --> 01:48:21.960
past. Chris Manson thirty seven months
of channel membership says, who do Britt

1361
01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:27.319
and Jamie hater feud with when they
come back? Tony versus Mariah has to

1362
01:48:27.359 --> 01:48:30.000
be the all in match. Yeah, Tony and Mariah is going to be

1363
01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:38.319
the all in match. You know, Britt and Jamie. I guess part

1364
01:48:38.319 --> 01:48:42.119
of it depends on whether they come
back as heels or baby faces. I

1365
01:48:42.159 --> 01:48:46.079
would think they come back as baby
faces, but it's only a matter of

1366
01:48:46.119 --> 01:48:51.119
time before we see Britt and Mercedes
mix it up. See this is why

1367
01:48:51.199 --> 01:48:58.680
I really I liked the idea of
putting Camille with Mercedes as her enforcer,

1368
01:48:59.640 --> 01:49:01.520
and you have built eventually and you
still could do it, you know,

1369
01:49:01.600 --> 01:49:06.439
build eventually to Mercedes and Camille against
you know, Britt and Jamie. I

1370
01:49:06.520 --> 01:49:11.760
think that could have been something.
Again, not to say they still can't

1371
01:49:11.800 --> 01:49:17.760
do it, but doesn't look like
they're going to base. Bierras says,

1372
01:49:17.960 --> 01:49:25.079
buy or sell Teddy Long or Vicky
Guerrero as the GM of SmackDown Teddy Long,

1373
01:49:27.600 --> 01:49:32.039
Gotta go Terry Teddy Long fire lotion. Yes, no, it's it's

1374
01:49:33.920 --> 01:49:36.439
you know, maybe they should call
it that. They should call it fire

1375
01:49:36.520 --> 01:49:41.520
lotion. They could sell that over
the counter. Everybody always needs to keep

1376
01:49:41.520 --> 01:49:44.039
a bottle of fire lotion on him. You never know when you may need

1377
01:49:44.079 --> 01:49:46.880
it. I think we may have
hit on a new product here. Her

1378
01:49:46.960 --> 01:49:50.880
problem solver exactly. Camille could be
her problem solver, or she has a

1379
01:49:50.920 --> 01:49:57.439
problem, Camille solves it for her. I don't know what's going on with

1380
01:49:57.479 --> 01:50:00.399
Camille. I don't know where she
is. I don't know what she's doing.

1381
01:50:01.600 --> 01:50:09.520
I have no idea. I see
Britt and Jamie coming back as baby

1382
01:50:09.640 --> 01:50:15.359
faces. Yes, I am of
the same opinion. Did I watch the

1383
01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:21.359
WCW doc. As I just said, I am halfway through the first episode,

1384
01:50:21.800 --> 01:50:27.600
so I have not finished it,
but I am watching it. I

1385
01:50:27.640 --> 01:50:30.039
don't know if I'm going to talk
about it on Sunday, because there isn't

1386
01:50:30.079 --> 01:50:33.720
much to talk about. I might
give some very brief thoughts on it unless

1387
01:50:33.920 --> 01:50:39.279
in the last half of the episode
Bishov says something so fucking egregious that I

1388
01:50:39.319 --> 01:50:43.920
just can't help myself. But from
what I saw, it's pretty straightforward stuff.

1389
01:50:43.920 --> 01:50:45.039
It's pretty much what I expected.
You know. I kind of laughed

1390
01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:48.800
because Rock is in it. Now. I know it's Rock's production company that's

1391
01:50:49.239 --> 01:50:53.880
making the show, but I'm like, Rock has no business being in this

1392
01:50:53.920 --> 01:50:57.000
sect. Every guy, Gus Rock
is in there to give the WWF perspective

1393
01:50:57.039 --> 01:51:00.239
on things, But the fuck is
Rock doing in this? Like the hell

1394
01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:03.479
are you in there for? I
saw him, I'm like, what the

1395
01:51:03.479 --> 01:51:09.600
fuck is he doing in there?
Austin? Now, Austin, I could

1396
01:51:09.600 --> 01:51:13.039
see Austin worked for Bishoff, he
worked for WCW. He could talk about

1397
01:51:13.079 --> 01:51:16.199
being fired and leaving and going to
work for the other company and cashing fire

1398
01:51:16.239 --> 01:51:21.439
and taking off and leading the Attitude
era. But I don't know that Rock

1399
01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:29.560
had to be in that. Did
I see FX show clipped Solomonster you had

1400
01:51:29.760 --> 01:51:34.279
Al Bundy playing old Clipper team.
I have no idea what you're talking about,

1401
01:51:35.199 --> 01:51:38.800
Joey, I need you to translate. Brother, I don't know what

1402
01:51:38.840 --> 01:51:45.279
you're referring to. Bass Beer says, early nineties Vader against twenty eleven Mark

1403
01:51:45.319 --> 01:51:55.399
Henry who you got Vader Vader all
the way? I've said it many times

1404
01:51:55.439 --> 01:51:59.479
in the past. You want the
ultimate kind of dream match. You take

1405
01:51:59.520 --> 01:52:03.600
that early nineties big Van Vader and
you put him in the ring with Brockleisner.

1406
01:52:04.680 --> 01:52:09.479
Really, it could be Brock from
any era, even two thousand and

1407
01:52:09.520 --> 01:52:15.359
two Brock. But you take that
Vader and you take Brock. That would

1408
01:52:15.399 --> 01:52:19.279
have been a match. I don't
think it would have lasted very long,

1409
01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:25.279
but that would have been a hell
of a match. Rock only on it

1410
01:52:25.319 --> 01:52:29.199
because he's the EP of the documentary. Yes, I know, that's what

1411
01:52:29.279 --> 01:52:31.600
I just said. Doesn't mean he
has to be in the actual show.

1412
01:52:31.760 --> 01:52:36.640
You could be the executive producer in
Stay Off Camera, Miguel says. The

1413
01:52:36.680 --> 01:52:44.079
only part that still makes me mad
is Bishoff blaming Sting for WCW. Stark

1414
01:52:44.239 --> 01:52:48.640
ninety seven. Yeah, I mean
it's just it's always been just fucking nonsense.

1415
01:52:50.399 --> 01:52:54.840
I understand that Sting may have been
going through some shit during that time.

1416
01:52:54.880 --> 01:52:59.359
I think his marriage was falling apart, and you know, he who

1417
01:52:59.399 --> 01:53:01.039
knows he may been doing stuff you
shouldn't have been doing. I'm sure a

1418
01:53:01.039 --> 01:53:06.399
lot of those guys were. But
the idea that he he what he always

1419
01:53:06.439 --> 01:53:10.960
tries to do is cover for Hogan. That's all he's doing. I mean,

1420
01:53:11.760 --> 01:53:16.920
if you understand the idea that if
Hulk Hogan were walking down the street

1421
01:53:17.960 --> 01:53:24.640
and he stopped short, that Eric
Bischoff would have brown all over his nose.

1422
01:53:24.720 --> 01:53:28.800
If you understand that, then you
get it, you know, because

1423
01:53:28.840 --> 01:53:32.159
he will always try to cover for
Hulk. Their buddies, their friends,

1424
01:53:32.880 --> 01:53:36.199
their business partners, they work together, even in TNA, they you know,

1425
01:53:36.279 --> 01:53:41.000
they came in together. He will
defend that man to the death.

1426
01:53:42.239 --> 01:53:45.279
And we all know why things went
down the way they did at Stargate,

1427
01:53:45.560 --> 01:53:50.800
and you didn't have to be moseying
around the backstage area, I think to

1428
01:53:51.359 --> 01:53:54.880
have a good sense of why things
went down the way they did. They

1429
01:53:54.920 --> 01:53:57.399
went down the way they did because
of one man, and that man was

1430
01:53:57.439 --> 01:54:04.039
not Stink. That man was Hulk
Hogan, that's it. And if you

1431
01:54:04.039 --> 01:54:09.039
don't believe that, and you think
there's any other explanation for why that all

1432
01:54:09.079 --> 01:54:14.439
went down the way it did,
you're being very naive. I think most

1433
01:54:14.439 --> 01:54:24.119
people understand that. And Grant says, not tonight, Brother Hulk at Starcade.

1434
01:54:24.560 --> 01:54:28.720
The thing that some messed up about
it, he lost that night,

1435
01:54:28.880 --> 01:54:31.000
he still lost the title, but
just the way he went about doing it,

1436
01:54:31.000 --> 01:54:34.600
It's like, dude, if you're
gonna look like literally went with the

1437
01:54:34.640 --> 01:54:44.399
worst possible outcome to that entire situation. It just, even all these years

1438
01:54:44.479 --> 01:54:47.439
later, it still boggles the mind
how badly that was bungled. But it's

1439
01:54:47.479 --> 01:54:54.399
all ego, all ego, and
I'm not talking Ethan Page. It's all

1440
01:54:54.399 --> 01:54:56.560
ego. That's all it ever,
That's all it is. That's all it

1441
01:54:56.600 --> 01:55:00.680
ever was. Anyway, good stuff, good questions. Thank you for the

1442
01:55:00.720 --> 01:55:05.640
support, always appreciated. I will
be live with you back here on the

1443
01:55:05.720 --> 01:55:12.680
Channel on Friday night. We're gonna
be talking SmackDown Hopefully is a better show

1444
01:55:12.720 --> 01:55:16.399
than last week, although that was
a great closing angle, But even SmackDown,

1445
01:55:16.600 --> 01:55:20.520
I think SmackDown last week was like, eh, a lot of these

1446
01:55:20.560 --> 01:55:23.880
shows now, I don't know.
I know what's going on these last few

1447
01:55:23.880 --> 01:55:29.399
weeks, man. I say eh, Raw had some good stuff on Monday

1448
01:55:29.479 --> 01:55:32.159
night. Let's hope we get a
good SmackDown on Friday, and then I

1449
01:55:32.199 --> 01:55:35.439
will be at the House of Glory
show on Saturday, and then we got

1450
01:55:35.439 --> 01:55:39.439
the podcast on Sunday, and then
we got RAW next Monday, and then

1451
01:55:39.439 --> 01:55:42.880
we got TNT with me and JD
next Tuesday, and then we have Dynamite

1452
01:55:42.880 --> 01:55:50.079
next Wednesday. Train never stops,
man, it just keeps going. Hop

1453
01:55:50.119 --> 01:55:58.880
on doors open, last stop,
Hop on the train. I will see

1454
01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:00.800
you guys on Friday. If you
missed the RAW review, go back and

1455
01:56:00.840 --> 01:56:03.439
check it out. If you missed
TNT with me and JD, we had

1456
01:56:03.479 --> 01:56:08.800
some good discussions on his channel last
night. Let's do it again Friday night.

1457
01:56:08.880 --> 01:56:10.680
Until then, take care, guys,
