Tonight on Dynamite, we learn what the main event is going to be for
the very first episode of aw Collision, which is only a couple of weeks
away. Collision is coming up on Saturday the seventeenth from the United Center in
Chicago, and Tony Kahn was on television tonight to tell us what that main
event is going to be, which I will be letting you know a little
bit later on. I will tell you though, and it should come as
no surprise that cmpunk will be featured in the main event. Of course,
we already knew he was coming back that night there in Chicago. Would have
made sense to have cmpunk in a match on the show. Cmpunk will be
a part of that Collision main event. It will, however, not be
a singles match. It will be a multiman match, and I will tell
you what that match is here on this review. Plus, the main event
tonight was Ricky starts one on one with Switchblade j Y. How about Jy,
you get in the main event spot here on Dynamite. I believe for
the first time they had a match to night where the team of FTR and
Juice Robinson. All of them were banned from ringside this was going to be
a fair fight one on one only you had to know was not going to
be a fair fight. You knew there was going to be some kind of
shenanigans, and there was. And honestly, it was a very underwhelming finish
when we had the Guns coming out to cost Ricky Starks the match and hand
j White the wind on a silver platter. It's just the way that it
was executed. I thought very underwhelmed. And the question now, Lingers,
is Austin and r Austin and Colton Gun now the new members of Bullet Club
Gold. We don't know. We're still left wondering exactly what their affiliation with
Bullet Club may or may not be. But MJF and Adam Cole, let's
talk about them briefly here. Because the aw World Champion was on the show
tonight, coming out and telling us that there was no competition left in this
company, and the way that he was phrasing it made me think that they
were about to announce a new japan Star or a new Japan Star was about
to walk out to confront him, because he was very specific about there being
no competition left in this company. And of course we have Forbidden Door coming
up in a few weeks. But it was not a new japan Star they
came at. It was Adam Cole who just wrapped up, maybe maybe wrapped
up a feud with Chris Jericho. He came out to confront MJF and what
followed was a lot of back and forth that if you were in an argument
with somebody on Twitter, which I would know a thing about. If you
were in an argument with someone on Twitter, this is the type of thing
that you would expect to hear back and forth. As far as the zingers
and the insults that we got here in this promo segment, there were parts
of this segment that I liked. There were parts of this segment I did
not like. But we are now heading towards an MJF Adam Cole match on
Dynamite next week. It will not be for the Championship. It is effectively
it's one of their qualifying matches that they have. It's a world title eliminator
match. But the build has already begun to a championship match between MJF and
Adam Cole a few months earlier than I expected it to happen, but it
is going to happen, and I mentioned Forbidden Door. Forbidden Door is coming
up on June twenty fifth. They are just about if they're not already sold
out, They have like a hundred seats left last time I check, so
basically they are sold out already in Toronto for the second Forbidden Door show.
And there were a few matches on the show last year that we did not
get. But the match that I was most disappointed in that we didn't get
was Brian Danielson who was supposed to wrestle Zach Saber Junior and then Danielsson got
hurt with the concussion he wasn't cleared, so the match never happened. So
not only was Brian Danielson missing from Forbidden Door last year, but Kenny Omega
was missing as well because he was still out recovering from all the many surgeries
that he had. He didn't come back until August. That's two very big
names that missed the show last year. Three if you throw in CM Punk
who did a stay to dive into the crowd and broke his foot and that
took him out of the entire summer. Three big names missing from the show
last year, and Tony Kahn said, you know what, we have to
fix that because we already know two of the matches for Forbidden Door, and
honestly, they don't have to announce another one. If they just kept it
to these two matches, it would be worth the price of the show alone,
because we are going to get Kenny Omega challenging Will Osprey defending his IWGP
United States Championship against will Osprey since Osprey beat Lance Archer a Dominion to become
number one contender, we are getting a rematch of one of the best matches
that we have seen all year from Wrestle Kingdom in January that was at the
Tokyo Dome. This will be at the Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto with what
I am sure is going to be a very rapid wrestling audience. That is
going to be an excellent match. But the match that I am looking forward
to the most is a match that I've been talking about this match for a
number of years, really ever since Danielson walked out of WWE and walked into
AEW. This is a match that I have wanted to see ever since it
became possible for this match to happen. I was disappointed that we didn't get
it last year, and I wasn't sure when we were going to get it,
to be perfectly honest with you, or if it was going to even
happen in this country, if it was going to happen in Japan. But
now we know the stage is set at Forbidden Door for the first time ever.
It will be the American Dragon Brian Danielson one on one with Kazuchka Okada
for the first time ever. And that right there is the match that I
am most looking forward to on that show that may end up being the match
of the year by the time wall is said and done. You don't have
to give me any kind of convoluted story. The story is very simple.
They told the story tonight in the video package that they aired at two video
packages for both of these matches. Lest anybody turn around and say there's no
story, clearly, Omega and Osprey, they have a story because Omega beat
Osprey. Osprey was embarrassed by that loss. Now he wants to get his
belt back and get revenge on Kenny Omega. There's your story for Danielson and
Okada's very simple. As Danielson said in the video, I've heard a lot
about you. People have talked about you for many years. They've even called
you the best. He considers himself the best wrestler in the world. There's
only one way to find out. The time for talk is over. Now
we get the match one on one. We get to find out who truly
is the best. That's the story at its core, that is the story.
That's all the story we need. So I am very much looking forward
to that pay per view. That is a must see show at the end
of this month. And this is your aw Dynamite review for Wednesday, June
seventh, two thousand and twenty three. I am the solom Monster. I
want to wish a very happy birthday to Cherubin, who turned twenty seven years
old today, So I hope you had a great birthday. Brother. At
the beginning of the video, you saw that I mentioned pell the graphic.
Unfortunately for the death of the Iron Sheet, the Iron Sheet passed away earlier
today, I believe, at the age of eighty one. And what can
be said about the Iron Sheet. Obviously, I'll have a lot more to
say about him on the podcast this Sunday. We'll talk about the Sheek and
his career and his influence. But it's a big loss. He was a
major name in the wrestling business at a time when Vince McMahon was taking his
company national. I mean, obviously he had worked other territories prior to that,
but he came along in WWF at a time when you know, you
had the evil Iranian and you had the evil Russians, and I mean the
NWA and Crockett had the same thing with Nikita Koloff. And that's just the
way it was back then, right. It was a very it was very
easy heat to have the evil villain foreigner up again to the heroic American baby
face. So the Iron Sheet wins the championship from the All American Bob Back
and then immediately turns around and drops it to the All American hero Hulkogan,
and Hulkamania on a national scale was off to the races thanks to that loss
to the Iron Cheek. The Iron Cheek did the job for Hule Coogan in
Madison Square Garden and as he tells the story, Hey, if vern Ganya
had his way, if you if you believe the story, he tells he
could have broken Hogan's leg in the ring. That night, and that would
have been the end of his career. Not Hogan, but Sheek. But
he had part of a part of a lot of very memorable moments for me
as a young wrestling fan. I grew up, I had the Iron Cheek
LJN figure. I believe he had LJN and you know, again part of
that whole rock and wrestling era. And then later on, somehow he became
this pop culture figure and he was on the Howard Stern Show and they were
I think there were multiple roasts for the Iron Sheek and he had his gimmick
on Twitter. And I hate to break the news to you. I can't
believe there's still people who think that he was the one doing the tweeting.
He wasn't, but he became a pretty well known figure in pop culture as
well. So rest in peace to the Iron Cheek. Done but certainly not
forgotten. Made for a lot of very entertaining memories. We opened Dynamite tonight
with Orange Cassidy, of course, as we've opened Dynamite many times this year,
with Orange Cassidy defending his aw International Championship against Swerves Strickland. This was
a hot opener with a questionable finish, Cassidy got a two cot off a
top rope crossbody until both men fought up on the ropes and they each slammed
the other head first down into the turnbuckle. They took a tumble to the
floor that took us into the first commercial break and we also got our first
commercial for Collision, and they are in fact billing it as the second coming
of cmpunk. I talked about this a few weeks ago. I think it
was Andrew's arian maybe who it might have been Andrew or Fightful who first broke
that they were billing this debut episode of Collision as the second coming, right,
because the first appearance of cm punk was on Rampage two years ago.
It was the first dance, so this is the second coming. So there's
your confirmation of that promotion for the show. Strickland gaining the advantage During the
picture and Picture, Cassidy battled out of a JML driver attempt tried for beach
break, but his back seized up on him. He did manage to hit
a stunt. Doug Millionaire Swave later on planted Cassidy with a death valley driver
on the apron. He went for a double stump that was not successful.
Cassidy came back with a diving DDT from the apron to the floor. You
know, I wonder. I know Jake Roberts works for AW. I know
we don't see him on television anymore. I think he is still with Lance
Archer technically, so I don't know Jake was at the building tonight or not,
but he's you know, he works for AW. He should be there
in the back. And I wonder, and I see stuff like this,
and a lot of it happens in Orange Cassidy matches. But it's not just
it's not just him. It's not even just AW. We see it in
WWE also, but we see it a lot in AW. The overuse of
the DDT, and the DDT hasn't been a finisher for a very long time,
but the overuse and overuse and overuse of the DDT until it has basically
been rendered completely meaningless. And Jake the snake is the innovator, right,
the master of the DDT. Of all people, they have him backstage working
for the company. What must he think when he is watching these matches and
he is seeing the DDT used in this fashion? I wonder he spoke his
mind openly. I wonder what he would say. I wonder what he thinks.
Because she thought the superkick was rendered useless. You thought that the Destroyer
was rendered useless. The DDT says, hold my beer. Orange. Cassidy
did not win with a DDT in this match. He did counter a pop
up power bomb into a hurricanrona pin, but he could not Strickland's leg because
of his bad hands. So he had the bad hand, he had the
bad back. Again. This man is falling up, but he's been falling
apart for months now, but yet he still finds a way to win.
So Prince Nanna, because remember Swerve is part now of the Mogul Embassy,
the Embassy and Mogul affiliates they merged a few months ago. So Prince Nana
was ringside in Swerve's corner and he tries to run distraction here. Strickland collided
with him though turned around into an orange punch in a beach break, but
Strickland kicked out, And at that point, when he kicked out of that,
I thought, Okay, he's got a real shot here. Maybe tonight
they're gonna finally pull the trigger and they're gonna put this title on Swerve,
so he bailed out to the floor. Cassidy tried another DDT dive. Of
course, Strickland they'll caught him, and he delivered a brainbuster on the floor.
Back in the ring, Strickland hit the house call kick and then the
Swerves stump and Cassidy kicked out and Swerve couldn't believe it. He could not
believe that this man kicked out of his finish. Neither could I. Cassidy
rolled through a JML driver attempt and then both men at that point traded roll
up attempts. Swerve tried, well, he didn't try. I mean,
he hooked the tights to trut or the jeans I guess to try to get
the wind. Was not successful. But then Orange Cassidy gave it right back
to him. He hooked the tights and this time he was successful, and
Orange Cassidy wins with a roll up and a fistful of tights. At that
point, the Mogul affiliates they came down to the ring. They beat down
Orange Cassidy. The lights went out. Tony Khan didn't pay his light bill
again. Fifteen seconds later, the lights come back on the heels have bailed
Sting and his jacket and Darby Allen getting ready for his big mountain climb.
They were in the ring with Orange Cassidy. They had chased the heels away
and that's how this ended. So twenty four title defenses for Orange Cassidy and
twenty four victories. This fucker is still the International Champion by hook or crook.
He keeps finding a way to win. It was a very good match,
But I'm not sure about having Orange Cassidy eliminate Swerve from the Blackjack Battle
Royal and then turning around and doing a singles match and having Orange Cassidy beat
Swerve Strickland. Again. That's twice. Now, that's twice that Swerve has
been embarrassed and has lost to Orange Cassidy. Now, Swerve could still end
up winning the International time. But again, I look at this and I
say Cassidy won the Battle Royal. He'd beat twenty other men, including Swerve,
then he got Swerve one on one and he beat him at his own
game. What need is there to run this match back again. I enjoyed
the match. I'd love to see them wrestle again. I'm just wondering why
they would do it. What's the purpose? Rage Cassidy is a fighting champion,
right, So if they went to him and said, look, Swerve
wants one more match, what's he gonna say? No? He says yes
to anything. If I showed up at the building next week in DC and
I said I want a title match, he'd probably go Okay, Sure of
course he would. He think he was looking in the mirror. So yeah,
I mean, you could just argue it by saying he's a fighting champion.
They could do a rematch if they want. They really in need for
it now, not really. Forbidden Door is coming up in Toronto. Though
Forbidden Door is coming up in Toronto and Orange. Cassidy won the International Championship
by beating Pack last year in Toronto. So I'm wondering if they've been waiting
for this day and the plan maybe is to take the title from him in
the very city that he wanted it in the first place. Maybe they will
finally do the title change in Toronto. Maybe they'll run back him him in
a Swerve. Maybe it'll be him against somebody completely different, maybe it'll be
him against somebody from New Japan. But it does make me wonder if maybe
they're waiting for Toronto. He won it there, maybe he'll lose it there
too. What they are doing is next week on Dynamite, they're doing a
big eight man tag. It's going to be Sting wrestling on TV for the
first time. I'm in. I don't know how long it's been. It's
been at least a few months. Sting darby Allen Orange Cassidy and Keith Lee
we did not see tonight, but he'll be teaming with them against the Mogul
Embassy and that'll be next Wednesday. On Dynamite, we had the American Dragon,
Brian Danielson, who ex Caliber is now referring to on commentary as the
greatest wrestler of all time, made his way out to do commentary for the
next match, and at that point they cut to a hype package for the
match at Forbidden Door, which again is Danielson won on one against Occata to
give people the backstory about how this match came about, why this match is
such a big deal. Obviously o'catt is not there, and with o'conna not
being there, Ocata and they mentioned this on commentary, So let me just
get to this. The match was the Blackpool Combat Club. It was John
Moxley, Claudio and Utah taking on Chaos, Trent Barretta, Chuck Taylor and
Rocky Romero. Chaos, as they explained, is Ocadi's faction. It's a
faction that Ocada has been a part of for a very long time. If
he's not going to be on the show, and maybe he will be,
maybe on that last Dynamite before Forbidden Door, he'll be on the show.
Obviously, it's tough with the time zone difference. You're not going to go
back and forth back and forth from Japan, so he may not be on
Dynamite at all. If he is, it probably won't be until that final
Dynamite before the pay per view. But if he's not going to be physically
there, then it made sense that his crew would be in action against the
Blackpool Combat Club. So that made sense and you would have the Blackpool Combat
Club beat Chaos. Barretta blocked the Gotch pile driver late in the match from
Moxley. Best Friends connected with Strong Zero to Moxley for a close two count.
I think it was a Claudio who broke up the fall. Romero sank
in a cross arm breaker as Barretta tried a moon salt to the floor.
This ride here was the spot of the night. Right here, this was
the spot of the show. We had Baretta on the ropes doing a moonsaul
out to the floor. Claudio was on the floor as he is flipping in
midair in this moonsaul. Claudio could not have timed this any better. As
he's flipping over, he connected with the European uppercut. He uppercutted the ship
out of this man, beautiful, beautiful Timey, so that took out Trent.
He was down on the outside inside. DA hit Chuck Taylor with the
Busaku knee Moxley at the same time counter the arm breaker from Rocky into a
bulldog choke and he got the win. After the match, Judah went on
the attack against Taylor and this pleased Brian Danielson. Brian Danielson was very pleased
at the violent nature of Wheeler Utah. They are teaching young Judah. Well,
we cut to the back and we have Hangman page in the young Bucks,
or as ex Caliber called them, the hung Bucks. I will not
be calling them that. Paige said that Dynamite is in Washington, DC next
week, where Dynamite first began, the very first Dynamite. What did that
show do? That was October of twenty nineteen. I think that first show
did. Was it one point three or one point four million viewers for that
first show? I was back in twenty nineteen. That was in Washington,
DC. So they're going to be back where it all began next week.
And he challenged Moxley, Claudio and you to to face him and the Young
Bucks without any help from Brian Danielson, without any help from Keno Skate to
Keshta. They cut back to the announced as Danielsson was still sitting there.
He heard this entire thing, and Danielson said that the Blackpool Combat Club has
never backed down from a challenge, and so he accepted the match on their
behalf. After this, we got a video package about the Will Osprey Kenny
Omega match a Forbidden Dorm, highlighting their match from Wrestle Kingdom earlier this year.
Osprey talking about how he wants revenge on Omega for what Omega put him
through. Again, he just beat Lance Archer last weekend. This past Sunday,
is in fact that Dominion to become number one contender, and that is
the other big match that is official for Forbidden or for the IWGPUS title.
Up next was the aw World Heavyweight Champion MJF out to the ring for a
promo. What a promo it was. He came to the ring. They
were in Colorado, and he told the Colorado drug addicts to keep their mouth
shut. He said that he nearly offed himself when he was told that he
was contractually obligated to come to Colorado. He called it the most boring place
in the entire world. But if anybody knows about being bored, it's him
because there is no competition for him in this company because nobody, he said,
is on the level of the devil. This is where I was expecting
there to be, maybe maybe someone again from New Japan because he's looking elsewhere.
Maybe there's somebody from another company who could show up. But it was
not somebody from New Japan. It was Adam Cole who came out and he
came down to the ring. M JF cut off Cole's music before he could
do his Adam Cole Bay Bay pose and the crowd booed. So m j
F said that he's actually excited, like legitimately excited. He says, finally
some worthy competition for the champion. He said, believe it or not,
he's a big fan of Adam Coles says when cmpunk up and left him when
he was a kid, he thought his wrestling fandom was over. But then
he was flipping the chattels one day and he came across a show called Ring
of Honor and he asked the crowd, yeah, do you all know what
Ring of Honor is? Right? I was expecting the crowd to go down.
He goes, you know what Ring of Honor is? Right? And
MJF says he thought Ring of Honor sucked. He says it was full of
a bunch of indie gibrones who didn't belong on his TV. But then out
walked a guy with icy blue eyes and slipped that black hair, and he
was a great promo guy and a great wrestler. And he goes that man
was Adam cole And he said that he was instantly hooked. Even watched cole
Win Golden CZW. He watched him become the hottest free agent in the world,
and then he watched him go to Florida to shock the system. He
was so good he became Shawn Michael's hand pick star, and he became the
greatest champion in that company or that company had ever seen. NXT is not
a company obviously, Yeah, best champion on the NXT brand. You could
certainly make the argument that Adam Cole was the greatest n XT champion. And
XT had a lot of great champions Adam Cole, They had Finnvalor among others,
Adrian Neville. We could go on, possibly soon Baroncoorp. But he
said he followed in his footsteps, did MJF. He said that he too
went to SZW and he worked the Independence before ending up in a EW as
he knew Cole would one day, so they could have the battle of the
generational talents m JF one on one with Adam Cole. But then this guy
showed up and he's pointing to Cole when he says this, He goes this
guy shows up here in aw He asked Cole, what happened? What happened
to him? Right? What happened? What happened to that guy? Cole
used to be the Panama Playboy, now he's the Panama What did he call
him? I said? I wrote Panama Playboy twice, but he didn't say
playboy twice, as he used to be the Panama Playboy and now he called
him another name. I didn't write it down, but he said he sits
at home playing video games on Twitch like a pale virgin. That I got.
He asked, Cole, didn't you used to have the physique of a
world champion? He said, now, no offense. You're so frail you
make crackhors jealous. He sees what people are saying online that the company just
isn't featuring Adam Cole the right, by the way, who's saying that?
Like people are saying that, oh, game boy, thank you. That's
what it was asked. He used to be the Panama Playboy, now he's
the Panama game Boy. That's what he said, thank you. But I
was just wondering, like he's saying, like, oh, I see what
the comment is that people are making online about Cole and how the company doesn't
use him. Right. Really, I don't see too many people complaining about
the booking of Adam Cole. I see them complaining rightly about the booking of
other people on this show. Adam Cole is not somebody that I think people
are complaining too, especially coming off two wins over Chris Jericho. I don't
think they're complaining too loudly about that, but I guess it had to who
will fit the promo here? But he says he sees what people are saying
online about him and does the fans have no idea what they're talking about.
This company has given him everything. He got the girl, he even got
his own reality show. He goes, you know what they do to make
MJF look cool? They ring the damn bell greatest dog collar match of all
time, he says, the greatest iron Man match of all time, greatest
four way match of all time, the AW World Heavyweight Champion. He's beaten
every single top guy. What makes Adam Cole think that he is going to
be any different? He says that he read a nasty rumor about Cole online
that the reason that he made the jump to AEW is because a certain someone
in Tighten Tower. Here we go, a certain someone in Titan Tower didn't
think that he had top guy potential. And that's someone was Vince Mcmahonnon you
know what that means. Usually we don't do this on the AW streams,
but I guess we have to Vince watch. Not only was Vince McMahon backstage
at Raw this week, but now he gets a shout out on aw Dynamite.
We can't get away from this fucking guy. Vincenzo is everywhere. We
got a Vince McMahon name drop here on Dynamite and MJF said that he thought,
oh man, you know, the old man has finally lost it.
How could he not see talent and Adam Cole, But now that he stands
in front of him, he realizes that Vince was right. Cole finally reacted
to this. How nice, by the way of Adam Cole to just stand
there and just let this man just fucking eviscerate him on the microphone. Very
kind of him. Adam Cole is a very nice man. So after this
burial, Adam Cole finally spoke and he compared MJF to a social media troll.
He mocked MJF for his fiance leaving him right, which we've already heard
other people insult him for that. That was not that was hardly a big
burn. He said. MJF is world class. He's a world class douchebag.
Cole said that he brings up my body because of my body of work.
That's why he mentions my body, the matches that I've had, the
world title reigns I've had. He goes, Max, get real, you
can't touch me. But if you really want to go down that road,
how about we both go backstage, we piss in a couple of cups,
and we see who's natural and who's not. So I was gonna say imply
more than imply, and that MJF is on performance enhancing drugs. Here he
goes, for fifteen years, he's traveled the world, and those boys and
girls back there they respect him. He says, they respect the human being
Adam Cole, and then he swore, because I swear on my life,
he says, there's not a single person backstage in that dressing room that has
respect for you, not one. He says, you're conceited, you're lazy,
and you do the bare minimum to keep that world title. I speak
for everyone when I say no one respects you. MJF then said that that's
a lot of tough talk coming from Keith Lee's manager. Cole said that if
he was a real champion, he would tell him to shut his mouth and
fight him, but he's not going to do that because he's a coward.
Cole said that MJF won't fight him because he's better than him, and they
they being the fans, know it, and that pissed m JF off and
he exploded at him. He screamed at Cole. He said that he would
wrestle him any day of the week and he would beat his ass. Cole
said, looks like we got ourselves a match, and then he ended with
his Adam colebaybey pose that MJF had cut off earlier, so the fans finally
got the chants that they were happy. So MJF, you know, he
walked right into that. Cole baited him and he took the bait. I'm
I'm surprised. I will say that that Adam Cole had enough oxygen left in
his lungs to even respond with how deep underground he was buried during this promo.
I could have done without hearing the name Vince McMahon on this show.
YEA, everybody jokes about how often we would hear about WWE and references the
WWE on this show. I don't I don't want to hear Vince McMahon's name
mentioned at all anymore, let alone on this fucking show. So I could
do without that. What did I think of this segment? I thought that
they each had some good zing oh more so MJF. MJF fucking buried this
guy in the mic. Like Adam Cole came back, he had a few
little you know, zingers there. MJF fucking buried him six feet under here
during this segment at the double or Nothing screw. Here's my issue with this
at the or Nothing scrum. I don't know how many of you saw the
comments that MJF made, and he's you know, he's in character a lot.
He keeps kfabe. But there was one part in the scrum and he
said, like, I swear to God, I'm being totally honest, and
I think he was. I think he was being serious when he said this
that they've done research. He said that seven percent of the aw audience,
seven percent, I believe was the figure he gave, is active on Twitter.
And the point he was trying to make is that people go on social
media and they go on Twitter and they make comments about what they like and
what they hate, and this sucks and it's like an echo chamber. Seven
percent of their audience are actually active and engage other accounts in whatever on Twitter,
which sounds like a very low number, And I believe that's a real
stat that he's referencing. There are a lot of people on Twitter. I
mean, we have it in the live chat right now. There's a lot
of people who would agree with everything that MJF said in this promo about Adam
Cole, that Adam Cole does not look like a world champion. That MJF,
you know, has a better physique than him. He looks at the
part. Adam Cole doesn't look like a world champion. He's scrawny, he's
pale, he's got no muscle tone whatsoever. All of that is true.
Adam Cole is a great athlete. Because Adam Cole, I've seen him go
in there before and have some of the best matches you'll ever see. Some
people might disagree, some people just maybe they don't like Adam Cole. But
the Adam Cole that I saw even pre WWE when he was in Ring of
Honor. But the Adam Cole that I saw an NXT when he was in
the ring with people like Johnny Gargano when he was in the ring with people
like Keith Lee, even the match he had with Pat McAfee. I think
that was Pat McAfee's first match in WWE. Adam Cole had a lot of
very memorable, incredible matches on the NXT break and he even there, he
was never the physically the big this guy that they had on that roster.
So he is a tremendous athlete. But does he look like your prototypical wrestling
world champion. He doesn't. He's very small. It is very noticeable.
Now me personally, I can still watch Adam Cole in the ring doing his
thing, and yeah, depending on who he's in the ring with, I
can suspend my disbelief. That doesn't bother me too much, and I can
watch him and say, man, that was a great fucking match. You
know. I don't come on here and insult him and mock him and all
this stuff, because to me, he's paid his dues, he's proven how
talented he is. But you will see these comments, These are very real
comments that people are making. You see a lot of it on Twitter.
If Twitter is seven percent, if that's true, if Twitter is seven percent
of the aw audience that you have these people going online and making these comments
about Adam Cole, why would you amplify that on television Because on television,
your announcers are talking about him when he goes out there like he's a big
star. When Adam Cole goes out there, he's treated by the aw crowd
like he's a big star, and they love to do his pose and do
the Adam Cole bay bay and to them, to them, he's a big
star. So then what I don't understand is why are you taking what those
seven percent on Twitter are talking about and saying about this guy and again put
that out there on television and make that a talking point going into this match.
You know, I can understand MJF is the heel, and so the
heel is putting down the baby face, and the baby face is gonna put
him in his place. Everything he said about Cole, there was a lot
of truth to it. It's not as if next week on Dynamite when they
wrestle, all of a sudden, Adam Cole is gonna show up and he's
gonna he's gonna show him. He's gonna look like the Incredible Hulk. No,
he's still gonna be the scrawny guy with no muscle tell him going out
there. But now you've you've put that in people's heads, and I just
don't know how smart that is because it's been a very big talking point about
him for a long time, and how you're gonna build this guy up for
a world championship match by by acknowledging this on television and saying, hey,
this guy doesn't look like a world champion. I don't know about that.
That's not the way that I would have gone with it. I would not
give that attention to the seven percent. On television, people are gonna say
they're gonna chat or they're gonna say what they want, making that one of
the core talking points they're going into, you know, their program, their
match. That's not something I would do. So that i'm again a little
I question that the question the wisdom in doing that, because there is,
you know, a lot of truth. The truth hurts, and sometimes it's
better to sort of ignore it and not focus on it. But they're going
right to it. I didn't think they were gonna go to Colin mjf this
quickly. I thought they were gonna wait, and they were gonna save this
for All Out. But this is why he had to beat Chris Jericho.
He beat Chris Jericho a double or nothing. He beat him again in the
mixed tag match last week. This is why because they were getting him primed
and ready to challenge for the World Championship and to work with MJF. Now
they're going to have a match on Dynamite next week. It's not going to
be for the AW World title. It's an eliminator match. So Adam Cole
has to first beat MJF in a non title match and then he would get
a championship match. And this is something that AW has done many times before
with this eliminator stuff. The question now is do they give Cole a win
before he ultimately loses to MJF. I presume it forbidden door, right if
it works out that way, because I don't see Adam Cole winning the world
title from MJF. So do you let him go over in the non title
match and then beat him at the pay per view or do you kind of
swerve everybody because I think most people would expect him to win next week?
Do you swerve people and have Cole loves to MJF next week with the idea
that now he has to go to the back of the line and you make
him fight for it for another couple of months, and you do the match
either at Wembley or you do the match at all out. You know,
to me, I don't know that that's the biggest championship match that they could
muster for Wembley Stadium. I think they could do better. There's a lot
of other people on the roster that they could start priming for MJF. The
Adam Cole match is one that if I had the choice, I would,
you know, rather save that for a show other than Wembley. But is
that what they're planning on doing. If that is what they are planning on
doing, is having him lose and then have to fight his way back to
get a shot in two or three months, that makes me think that maybe
he's not done with Chris Jericho, because I could see Jericho costing Adam Cole
the match next week. If MJF is gonna win, how does he win?
He cheats, right, so instead of just having him hit him with
the diamond ring, hit him with a low blow, Chris Jericho just lost
twice. He was embarrassed by this man. I could easily see Jericho getting
involved, and that could potentially lead to another match between Jericho and Adam Cole,
which is completely unnecessary. So that's something I really don't want to see.
I'm not a fan of MJF losing on television, so I would like
to see him win next week. I don't have an issue with them letting
it play out just a little bit more instead of just throwing it right out
there. But MJF wrestles so rarely on television. I like the fact that
he's actually gonna work a match, but I don't want to see him losing
a non title match. I just I hate that, you know. I
don't want to see the world champion beaten in a non title match on television.
If that could be avoided, even if it does lead to a title
match, which it should, I'd rather see MJF go over in that match.
So that's the question. Which scenario is going to play out next week?
It's one or the other. I think MJF wins and they put the
match off for a little bit. What he does that it forbidden door though
I don't know. Maybe he does end up Wrestling Tanahashi, which is what
I thought MJF would be doing. Maybe they will do MJF in Hiroshi Tatahashi
and they will put the coal match off for a few more months. But
that was my issue with the promo here. You know, in this segment
the WWE references, it's kind of an old hat at this point in aw
they love, you know, they love referring to people's pasts. Adam Cole
has a past in WWE. I get it, But the whole issue of
the physique, it's a touchy subject when it comes to Adam Cole, and
I just don't know that you want to be making that the focal point of
this view. Listen up here because this week's episode is sponsored by Express VPN.

Jungle Boy Jack Perry against Preston Advance and draw Lestico, And this was a
Texas Tornado tag team match, all men in the ring at the same time.
This was a lot crazier than I expected this match to be, especially
when you consider the fact that they this issue was really only set up what
a week ago. I mean Jungle Boy certainly up until a week or two
ago he was involved with the Pillars right going into double or nothing. This
whole issue here was basically manufactured last week. They went out there and had
to kind of match that you would blow off a long feud with with blood
and the whole nine yards vans and drew all Leastigo. They attacked a Jungle
Boy on the ramp as a Jungle Boy was making his entrance, and at
that point it was just pure mayhem Vans tried to charge at Hook at ringside
with a chain, but Hook low bridged him and they ended up brawling into
the crowd. He Bobby's World, thank you for the gifted membership. I
appreciate that. Hook jumped off the barricade and he popped Vans with a chain
shot. Chain was wrapped around his fist and he popped him with a chain
shot and it busted him open pretty badly. I don't know if he blazed
or if he blazed. He hit a fucking artery. Mean, this guy
was bleeding all over the place. So they had two tables set up on
the floor outside the ring. On the other side, Hook fought off a
double choked slam attempt. They were going to put Hook through both tables.
He fought them off and he hit an overhead throw on Drew Leistiko on the
floor and dr Leistiko nearly landed on his head, like just barely barely avoided
being spiked on top of his head. Vance took down Hook with a discus
lariat. Then he wrapped the chain around Hook's neck and went to the apron
and it looked like he was going to put him through the tables. Jungle
Boy flew in out of nowhere with a chair shot to the head to Vance.
Hook then grabbed Vance hit a t bone soup plex off the apron down
through one of the tables. He missed the other one, but they both
took a hell of a bump. Both men through the other table on the
floor. Jungle Boy spiked Draw Leastigo with a DDT in the ring. There's
the DDT again. Jose the assistant made the save. He took a shirt
off. He hulked up, only to get choked up by Red Rum.
Jungle Boy sank in the snare trap on Drew. Leistico and Jungle Hook get
the double tap out for the wind here. This was wild. I'm not
sure or that this really needed to be a Texas Tornado match, but it
did make the match more fun. So there you go. Vans, though
he was he was bleeding pretty badly by the end of this thing. So
then we go to the back where our trustee president is the aw president himself.
Tony Kahn is standing backstage looking like somebody was off camera aiming a gun
at his head. This looked like a hostage video. This was to announce
the main event, but the debut episode of AW Collision, which is coming
up not this Saturday, but next Saturday. It's already here June seventeenth.
They're going to be at the United Center in Chicago, and the main event
of that very first episode of Collision will be a six man tag team match,
or as AW would call it, a trio's match. It will be
Switchblade J White, which gave away the finish of the main event tonight,
because you're not going to announce J White wrestling Cmpunk on Collision next week.
Again, he's gonna fucking lose tonight, so that gave away the finish.
But Switchblade J White, Juice Robinson, and Samoa Joe are going to be
taking on the AW World Tag Team Champions FTR and CM Punk CMFTR. No
reaction, no real reaction to the announcement. Now we already knew Punk was
going to be on the show. Wasn't like it was a surprise. But
he took a pause before he said CM punks in him like he was really
building it up dramatically, and he said CM Punk and there was no reaction
or barely a reaction in the building here in Colorado. So that's look at
them as a match that sounds like a hell of a match. I like
the match, right, that's a lot of different names in that match,
are getting j White, Samoa Joe, and Cmpunk all on the same match.
So not only is it a great match, but now they can spin
this match off into a program with Punk and FTR and Bullet Club Gold where
Joe falls in that equation. I don't know. I'm sure Punk Joe is
going to be inevitable, but they can spin this off into Punk an FTR
against Bullet Club Gold if that's the direction they want to go in, which
I think it should be, I think that would be a great program for
them to do. So anyway, that is going to be the main event.
On June seventeenth, Canosk Takeshta was out to the ring next. There
was no music for him or Don callos. Kenoska just came down to the
ring for a match with Damon Ace. Ace got off one strike and Takeshta
leveled him and then followed that with a running knee strike for the quick win.
As the match was going on, which was not for very long,
they were they had a video on the big screen of Don callis turning on.
Kenny Omega was on a loop in the background. As the match went
on, Callos got in the ring. He took the microphone. He said
that unlike last week, I will be heard this week, and they showered
this man with booze as they did the week before. Takesha took the microphone
from him and spoke Japanese briefly. Callis took the microphone back. He said,
everything that Kenny Omega has had in his life is because of him.
Omega defeated will Ospray because of him, and Omega has become a cancer in
Callis's body, so he cut it out. Callis said that Callis and his
family, he said, we'll cut the elite out of AW for good.
That's what he said. What do you do with cancer? He says,
you cut it out. So he's gonna cut the elite out from AW.
And then we got the mic drop, so pretty much a carbon copy of
his promo from last week, only it was a little bit shorter. Hey,
road Warrior, Roderick, thank you with the nineteen ninety two Rick Flair's
super chat. Thank you very much again. I'm gonna be reading your super
chats a little bit later. So if you want to check out the new
donation amounts, they're always listed below in the description. There was I have
to mention this though so again carbon copy promo. Great heat, but nothing
that we didn't hear from him last week. But at the end of the
segment in the background was a sign. This was the sign of the night
here on the show. There was a sign in the crowd that said don
Callis eats hot dogs without chewing. There you go, There you go.
They said it. It must be true. If they said it, look
if somebody in the crowd said it him, has to be true. Alex
Marvez was backstage. He was outside Christian Cage's locker room and we could hear
a commotion inside like there was a fight going on. Cage opens the door,
he comes outside. He said that he was the uncrowned TNT champion.
He blamed arn Anderson for why he did not win his match at Double or
Nothing. Lucasaurus then emerged from the dressing room and Cage said that brock Anderson
got his father a great gift for Father's Day, and then they walked away
and Alex Marvez pushed his way into the locker room and he saw brock Anderson
Arne's son laying on the ground. He had a little bit of blood on
his head, and of course Alex Marvez does the overreaction. We need help,
We need medic, medics, medics. This man was on death store.
He'll be okay. Put a band aid on it, he'll be okay.
Big Chris stat Lander one on one with Anna Jay, who had met
Menard in her corner. I know this because you hear his voice. It's
unmistakable. He was louder than the people in the crowd during this match.
He's got that piercing voice, that very annoying piercing. I mean perfect for
a fucking heel. Matt Menard's voice is perfect for the annoying heel character.
This was for the TBS Championship. For the second week, tie of Valkyrie
was shown in the back watching one of stat Lander's matches on a screen.
Stat Lander went to the top. She got distracted by Menard to allow Anna
Jay to plant stat Lander for a near fall. Anna in the queenslay or
sleeper a little bit later on, but stat Lander powered up. She put
Anna down, hit a backbreaker and a tombstone pile driver for the wind.
They cut to the back again. They showed tie A watching and she was
very upset by this. Looks like she's going heal, but she was very
upset by stat landers win. Well, you know what, I guess the
story could be that she feels upstaged. You know, she went in there
a double or nothing. It lost to Jade Cargild, the outcomes Chris stat
Landers. She instantly gets a championship match in wins, and so she could
feel like, you know, she's showing her up. Maybe that's the story.
The match was fine, A lot of it was eaten up by the
picture and pictures, so it's like I can't even really comment on it because
the majority of it I didn't really see. But it was another win for
stat Landers. She's starting to put together wins here. She just won the
title, so you know, she's a fighting champion. Jay. We didn't
see Jade on television defending that title very often or usually it was on rampage,
very rarely was it on die. So far with stat Landers, she's
already had I think two title defenses on TV since winning, and she's going
to be a fighting champion going forward. So this was fine. That led
into our main event, which was Switchblade J White one on one with Ricky
Starks, Juice Robinson Band, FTR band. Very happy to see Ricky and
j get the main events spot here on this show, there was another sign
in the crowd. I don't know if it was the same person who held
up the don callis sign, but there was another sign in the crowd here
that said J. White eats corn the long way. I don't know what
was going on with this crowd here in Colorado tonight. I'm sensing a pattern
here. So Starks sprinted up the ramp. He came out at first as
J White is coming out, he sprints up the ramp to cut him off
in mid entrance. And that's how we got started here. So fast forwarding
a little bit, we have the final ad break of the show. We
come back. J White is just lighting up Ricky with chops to the chevan.
You look at his chests. He was lighting this guy up Ricky.
It woke him up, basically, and Ricky fired off some strikes of his
own. White crotched Ricky trying a Tornado DDT on the ropes. J White
hit a big superplex and then he signaled for blade Runner, Starks avoided it
and hit a tornado DDT. Ricky tried for the row chambo. J White
countered into a urinaga. Starks floated over a superplex and hit a spear and
then on his second attempt at the row schambo, referee Paul Turner got bumped.
And I'm being very generous when I say this. He got clipped barely
and he bumped anyway, This looked silly. That's when Austin and Colton Gunn
showed up and they got into the ring and they laid out Ricky Starks with
their three ten to yuma finish. Referee, of course, did not see
any of this. Paul Turner comes to J White, hits blade Runner and
he gets the one two three. After the match, Juice Robinson all smiles,
he walks down to the ring to celebrate with J. White. On
commentary, the announcers were assuming that the Guns interfered because they have a history
with FTR, who are now feuding with Bullet Club Gold. But it didn't
sound overly sure about this. This is just what they were assuming. Not
the strongest Maine event. They had a good match, They had a good
match, but with a very underwhelming fish. You know, the ref bump
was just it looked ridiculous. And here, you know, I was expecting
a third Bullet Club member to show up to interfere and to help j White
win the match, and instead it was possibly the third and fourth members.
We don't know for sure. If Austin and Colton Gun are now officially members
of Bullet Club Gold. This could be like a DX and ninety eight thing
when the New Age Outlaws, who were you know, they were starting to
get over. They were they were a lot more over than Austin and Colton
Gun. I'm not saying that they're you know, as over as they were,
but you had a faction and then they added the Outlaws to it,
and it changed the whole dynamic of DX. Right, the whole thing just
gelled and it was, you know, very entertaining to watch. Obviously,
there's a slight connection here because the Guns, right, their father was Billy
Gunn, and Billy Gunn was part of the New Age Outlaws. So I
don't know if that's what's going on here, and they're going to add the
Guns and now we're gonna have four members of Bullet Club Gold. I don't
know we're gonna have to just wait and see the crowd. Certainly it added
to the confusion I think is they weren't sure exactly why they were there and
what was going on here generally speaking, though, I mean, this was
the finish that I expected. I expected that there would be interference from someone
other than Juice Robinson. They were going to do it to protect Ricky starts,
but Ricky was gonna lose. J White should have won this match,
And the minute they announced j White for that Collision main event on the seventeen,
you knew he was winning this match. There was no way he was.
He should not lose this match. So they did that to protect Ricky,
which I can respect because I think Ricky is one of the talents that
should be protected as much as possible. Not bad, by the way for
Jay White headlining Dynamite. Now he's going to headline the first Collision at the
United Center against Cmpunk. So I'm glad finally now coming out of double or
nothing, that you know they're they're they're doing something meaningful with him. They're
giving him some prime time on television. I hope that continues. J White
should be one of the top five stars in the entire company easily, maybe
top three. That's how he should be positioned. Top five for sure,
So not a bad place for him to be in. I thought overall it
was a pretty good show tonight, despite the lackluster finished. You know,
we had a very good opener with Orange Cassidy and swar Strickland. Even if
I thought the finish was questionable. The MJF Adam Cole segment, you know,
again, there were some good zingers in there. I outlined what my
issue with the segment was. Wasn't a bad segment, but you know,
again, we have issues. We lay out what the issues are and I
stated my case there. But we had some good matches on the show again,
a good match in the main event, but an underwhelming finish. But
on the whole, I thought it was a pretty good episode of Dynamite Now.
Rampage coming up on Friday, has the Luca Bros. And Bendido against
Ethan Page, Big Bill and Lee Moriarty. We got a good Big Bill
into something different here. I feel like the guy's spinning his wheels. We
got we gotta get him out of this, We gotta get him involved in
something else. Powerhouse Hobbs is going to be an action. We have the
acclaimed in Billy Gunn taking on Serpentaco Luther and and Hellico. So we get
to see Doctor Luther on Rampage on Friday. Very good. Britt Baker,
Sky Blue, Mercedes, Mercedes more name mersee. I wish Mercedes Martinez and
Nila Rose four Way the winner. It's an AW Women's World Championship match with
Tony Storm on Dynamite next Wednesday. And speaking of which, Dynamite is backward.
It all began in DC next week and it's a pretty stack lineup.
We have MJF Adam Cole and an eliminator match non titled. Tony Storm is
going to defend the AW Women's Championship. I presume, you know, looking
at the four way, I presume it'll be Britt Baker. I mean I
don't see any other I mean sky Blue, Tony Storm and Sky I mean,
I guess you could talk about no drama you can't. Yeah, I
could do Sky Bloom, Mercedes Martinez is a Ring of Honor talent. Nyla
Rose. No. We already saw Nila Rose last week against Chris Statlander,
right, and she lost. No, so Britt Baker should win that match,
also on Dynamite next week, The Mogul em Bassy is a Swerve,
Strickland, Brian Cage and the Gates of Agony take on Orange Cassidy, Darby
Alle and Sting and Keith Lee and the Young Bucks and Hangman Adam Page take
on John Moxley, Claudio and Wheeler Ut of the Blackpool Combat Club, and
I would suspect that next week is probably going to be the night that we
see the return of Kenny o'meag would be my guest. And as far as
other matches are Forbidden Door, you know, they have a few weeks but
not that far away, so they're going to have to amp up the build
to Forbidden Door. Even though I'm totally fine with the two matches, they
already announced they have a whole card to put together. So we will find
out next week probably what some of the other matches are going to be on
the pay per view on the Twitter pall. That is not indicative of what
I thought of the show tonight, But thank you Bobby with the five dollars.
Disappointed solom Monster Supert, I was not disappointed. I was not disappointed
in the show tonight, seventy seven percent of you were not disappointed in the
show tonight. Twenty three percent of you were disappointed in that show. So
go vote on Twitter at Solemn Monster. Let your voice be heard. I
want to hear from you, guys. Always love hearing from you guys.
Always let us go through your super chats. Thank you, Thank you to
everybody who has dropped one here. By the way, the likes goal tonight
was three fifty modest goal, and we have smashed the goals, so we
will be doing be the booker here A little bit groovy goose with a five
dollars super chat says, do you think that we will see a third act
of the MJF Punk Theater or is it out of the question. I would
like to see MJF get the win over Punk to cap it all. Yeah,
I mean, I have no issue with him getting a win over Punk
as long as Punk doesn't beat him. I don't think we get that chapter
for a long time. It's gonna be a while. When that time comes,
it should be MJF going over on Punk and that's it. CM Punk
should not be the aw world. Chap tried that twice two times. They
got burned punk doesn't need naughty, Delicious or NDCs and gonna start calling rest
in peace iron sheet doctor Scorpio. Tony kNN sounded like he was being held
hostage and forced to read the announcement. He barely blinked. Props to him.
Jeremy Watley, in your opinion, was Right Back done dirty by w
W? I think the booking of Right Back in twenty twelve, with the
book late that year, Yes, he was done dirty by the booking,
but I would not say that, you know, later on in his run,
Let's say that the star had burned out, shall we say? So?
It's not as if when he finished up with the company. Oh my
god, you know, I can't believe they got rid of bride Back Ride
Back. Brideback got screwed over booking wise years before they let him go.
So he was hot there for a period of time. He was pretty white
hot back for a certain period of time there and had not been beaten.
And then he was beaten, and then he was beaten again and again and
again. And then I remember WrestleMania when Mark Henry fell on top of him
and he was beaten, And that is when I knew that there was no
coming back for Ryeback, even though he went into a few but John Cena
after that he was done. His goose was closed. Crash with a ten
dollars for chat. What has upslom Monster been in the hospital since Monday?
It's not good. The promo segment with MJF and Adam Cole was good.
I do have one question. Where were you during the two thousand and three
Northeast blackout? Where was I during the the Northeast blackout? I was?
I want to say I was in the city. I wasn't. I wasn't
at work, but I might have been in the city. I was definitely
in the city for one of the big blackouts. Maybe maybe it was that
one. I know where I was when the lights came back on. If
that's the one I'm thinking about. I was at Shay I guess it still
would have been Shay Stadium at that point for a Mets game. I believe
when the lights came back on. I remember the traffic lights were out,
so that was kind of rough getting to the ballpark, But then the lights
suddenly came back on, so I think I think I was in the city
and I had to navigate my way home. Yeah, that was that was
pretty crazy. That was pretty crazy. Nick Rosso just wanted to say rest
in peace, Iron Sheet, and I thought the promo battle between MJF and
Adam Cole was amazing. Christopher Smith four ninety nine. I just watched the
Iron Sheet documentary on A and E this past Sunday, and then I found
out that he had passed away. Rest in peace to the Iron Sheet.
Yeah, that was kind of eerie timing, only Rizzo. Even here in
Metro Detroit, it is hazy, obviously not as bad as it is in
your neck of the woods. Stay safe, all of New York friends.
Yeah, hopefully with the winds it should be out of here by Saturday.
They say tomorrow is probably gonna be even worse than today, so help be
staying indoors tomorrow, even indoors though with the windows closed and everything. Again
it's I said, it smells like a fucking cigar lounge. Terrible, Chris
Axc. Why do you think Vince treated Goldberg so much better than Sting in
w W Wait? So many missed opportunities would Sting? What are your thoughts?
Sting was a lot older when he came in than Goldberg was when he
came to w WA, so I think that played a role. I think
Sting waited too long. I think if Sting came in years earlier, I
know he was very hesitant to come in and fuck I mean, who could
blame him, But I honestly think that if Sting had come in at least
ten years, ten to twelve years before he did, he would have been
pushed the way that people expected him to be pushed. So by the time
he came in it was too late. I just don't think that they saw
him. Yeah, they wanted to get him in. They wanted to make
money off of him in the merch and everything, and they put him in
some big matches, but it wasn't like they were going to really build anything
around him. When Goldberg came in, they put the world heavyweight title on
him for a few months. They were never gonna do that with Stak.
You know, he got a championship match, but it was to put over
Seth Rollins. So I just think he waited too long. The Mount Vernon
kid, Christopher Bennett, it's a fellow New Yorker like yourself. Were you
good on your end? Yeah? I mean again, It's just I'm watching
a play out like everybody else, and it's just weird if it looked like
it looks like a scene out of Total Recall. Outside during the Day,
Sean Longworth with all of these mount Rushmore talk talks, rather, who is
your mout Rushmore? Another mount Rushmore? Oh, Matt Rushmore? For mid
carters, Shamus ms to quote the New Day who loved the podcast? Yeah,
I can't answer that question in ten seconds. It's impossible. I mean,
think of all the mid carters there have been in WWA. There were
some great mid card talents even back when I was growing up, back in
the Golden Area, you know, and in the Attitude era, everybody was
over. Everybody was over. Even the mid carters in the Attitude era were
like big stars. They were a hell of a lot more over than the
mid car talents are today. So how do you not include probably someone or
some people from the Attitude area, you know, in the late nineties.
Shamus has been around for fifteen years, Probably miss has been around. I
mean, they've had more longevity than most. Dolph Ziggler how long has he
been around for? Does that make them the best? Though? Does that
make them the best shamus, the shamus belong in the mid card Mount Rushmore
when he has been world champion before? Are we including you know, people
like that who have gone on to become world champion. There's a lot of
questions that I would have about that, but honestly, I can't give you
a straight answer without really thinking it over. Yeah, yeah, r VD,
RVD was never a world well, I guess he was actually one night
standals, so it was so brief. I forgot that he did win the
WWE title. That's true, RVD did win the title. Jeff Hardy was
a world champion man. Mister Perfect never did Mister Perfect never did see I
think it's someone like Kurt Henning who worked with main event talents, but was
he a main eventer? How many main events did mister Perfect get? Right?
I don't know. I look at mister perfect More as like an upper
mid carter. I look at Razor Ramone as an upper mid carter worked with
main eventers, but they never really were in the main event in system,
how do you leave those guys? How do you leave mister Perfect and Razor
Ramona out of a Mount Rushmore? Of mic Partner's right, So I don't
know. It's a tough a tough question to answer. Rodin's prime, enjoyable
show all the way around. But Adam Cole against MJF, I'm here for
it. Let's go. Yeah, the match is going to be great.
The mount Vernon Kid says quick thoughts on Braun Breaker calling out seth Rawlins to
defend his title against them. I will be talking about NXT on the podcast
on Sunday. My question there is is it going to happen in NXT or
are we going to get seth Rawlins saying no, no, no, you
want to shout at my championship you come to raw and they use that as
a way to call up Braun to the main roster. We'll talk more about
that on the NXT review on Sunday. Paul Carpenter five dollars super Chat,
just curious, how does it feel to be in a wrestling organization as someone
that grew up a fan and what type of music do you use for entrances?
My entrances Tooth and Nail by Foreigner, that's my entrancing and it's very
cool. It's very cool to be around you know, the the the younger
talent who I know, in some cases we're going to be seeing on television
at some point and you just see how hungry they are, and you see
and have conversations with them about creative ideas, and they come over to you
and say, hey, I got this idea, I want to run it,
buy you what do you think? And being able to get feedback and
then seeing it actually applied on the show. Me that kind of stuff is
priceless. And to be able to do commentary as well as you know,
that was always something I wanted to try my hand at. Ye know,
it's it's just a very cool experience to be even a small part of something
like that, So very cool, Turtlehead. Only the Master should win with
a signature move. Okay, Josiah, thank you for the super chat.
Daniel Cabeza, please tell us the most memorable Jake the Snake promo in your
opinion? Oh, just one, just one, that's tough. I always
think of the Muck of Avarice promo from WrestleMania six. That one is,
if not his best, it is one of his best. That was before
his match with ted d Bias. So the Muck of Avarice promo is one
I always remember the post match promo from this Tuesday in Texas, after the
angle he lost to Randy Savage and then he smacked Elizabeth and it was this
whole big angle. And he's in the back with me and Jean and he's
talking about how much it turned him on. He's telling Randy, please bring
her back, you know, let me let me touch her one or time.
I could cultivate her and me and Jean is so disgusted by what he's
hearing that he just he'll have no more of this. He calls an end
to the segment and you're a sicko and get out of here. Um that,
that, to me is the other memorable Jacob's name promo. You could
every promo of his. You could probably go back in the vault, and
every promo of his was great. Joseph Brooks with the ninety nine. I've
been a wrestling fan literally since I was three years old, and some of
my memory is vivid and off because of how young I was. But who
was this guy by the name of Gary Albright? Uh? Gary Albright was
never in like a major promotion like WWE, But um, he got he
passed away? When did he passed away? Many years ago. I don't
remember exactly when or what the circumstances were. What is the connection with Gary
Albright and an Afa? Wasn't there a connection there between them? I don't
remember off game, So yeah, I don't have a lot to say about
Gary Albright other than the fact that he was never in WWE. He was
never like a major star. But for some reason, I think there's a
connection there with Offer the Wild Simons Bobby's world with the fifty dollars super chat
dropped from earlier Bobby again, man, thank you, I already read his
super chat, but there you go. Rest in peace of the Iron Chic.
Much love to fire Panda. And it is his birthday again, Happy
birthday to Bobby as brock Lesner was a Bobby Bobby Bobby's birthday. Oh he
died it that's right? Did he die? Okay, yeah, he died
in the ring, That's right. But again, was there a connection to
Offa or is that am I thinking of someone else? Maybe he was trained
by Offa? I don't remember bs he died. He died in two thousands,
so it was many years jobbed out wrestling. Most important thing I learned
this week is that Jose the Assistant has a better body than Jungle Book and
Adam Cole as well. Road Warrior Roderick with the nineteen ninety two Oh there
you go, Okay, Glenn says he married into the anoy E family.
Say, I knew there was an an Oye. I knew there was some
kind of connection. I just couldn't remember exactly what it was. But Road
Warrior Roderick after Aw's worst pay per view in company history to building to one
of their best, so excited for Forbidden Door, But damn mascot Pockets wins
again? How can Tony Kun get it so wrong? Where is Merrow?
When you Lemero is going to be part of the Collision roster? Did you?
Did you not see him in the commercials tonight? They have multiple commercials
for Collision and they filmed these segments in studio with Hobbes, with Miro with
under Rosa. So he is going to be He'll probably be on that first
show on June seventeenth. That would have mattered. So if you want Miro,
you won't have to wait very long. He should be on the show
next weekend. Bobby's World. My birthday just kind of came and went.
But closing it out with you and the chat is always a good way to
absolutely absolutely and want O compo f the whole Coogan that JABRONI rest in peace,
Cheeky baby Wan knows the score. I can't wait for a whole Cogan
to come out and tell us that, yeah, this great tale of how
he bumped into the Iron Cheek at the doctor's office and the iron Cheek made
amends with him and apologize for all the times he told Hogan to go fuck
himself, and he's so happy he had the chance to bury the hatchet with
the iron sheet. Sure that story is coming very soon. Anyway, the
goal tonight has been met. And on that note, oh we got M
Mills. Hold on a second here, M Mills coming in with five gifted
channel memberships. T J. Johnson, Pat Crowe, Justin Kong Lang,
Justin s and Reverend Brandon war now brand new Channel members Thanks to M.
Mills. Thank you for the gifted memberships. Very kind of you. Let's
be the booker, ladies and gentlemen. It is now time to be the
booker. Oh it is time time, time, time, that time again,
Time to be the booker. Always love being the Booker, even though
sometimes some of these matches not so good. So let's have a good night
here. Let's let's do it the right way. Let's kick things off with
all. We're getting things kicked off the right way, all right, the
American Dragon, as they're calling him now, the greatest wrestler of all time,
Bryan Danielson. That is how you kick off be the Booker, that
is how you do it. Now, we just gotta get o'cotta here.
I think o'cotta is in here. I'm not sure if he's in here.
I believe he is. I believe he is. Brian Danielson gonna go one
on one almost doesn't even matter. Honestly, Hey, stadium, Ja,
thank you for the two bucks. The disgusted Brandy Rhodes in memory of Shikhi,
maybe he says, f Hulk Hogan. Brian Danielson one on one with
Kenny Omega. Oh my goodness, it's a rematch from Grand Slam at Arthur
Ashe Stadium. Kenny Omega and Brian Danielson two of the four participants, by
the way, and that double main event that we just talked about coming up
at Forbidden Door. That's a fucking win right there. If I ever saw
one here and be the booker, that's one of the best Be the Booker
matches I ever booked. We could quit right now, that would be a
cop out. So we have to go on. We must continue. On
the ladies side, we have we have Befab, Rihanna Brandy, be Fab
from hit Row. He's having quite the run for themselves on SmackDown. Right
now, be Fab is going to go one on one with me Chin Actually
was it? Wasn't that something we saw on SmackDown the other week? Not
a not a match with them, but I think they were involved in a
segment together. Yeah, I'm not booking that on my show. I mean,
I like me Am, but come on, I like Befab too.
I think be Fab is fine, but in the ring is a different story.
All right, Let's go to the tag team match here. I knew
I was getting in over my head, continuing I should have quit when I
was ahead. Man, how do you how do you tap Danielson and Omega?
You just can't do it? All right? Well, we kick things
off here with the hardcore duo of this Jack and Terry Funk. This was
back during his Chainsaw, Charlie Phase, Cactus Jack and Terry Funk. Their
opponents will be Doom, Ron Simmons and the Natural butcheradould be a hard hitting
match there, Doom against Cactus Jack and Terry Funk. I like that match.
Look at Teddy Long in the middle. Teddy Long has played many roles
over the years. Teddy Long has been a manager, Teddy Long has been
a referee, and Teddy Long Teddy Long has been a GM. Teddy Long
has booked many a match. He's booked many people to go one on one
with the Undertaker in his day. Teddy Long also had an issue. He
hit a beef with me many years ago, but we got that squashed,
so he and I were all good now. We're all good now. So
we went two for three and be the booker. That sounds good to me.
That's better than we did this time last week. I feel like anyway,
I think I've all caught up on your supertand I know it's one week
of be the booker for June. So far has been pretty good. Whether
or not that's going to continue, I don't know. We'll have to We'll
have to wait and see. Anyway, that is your Dynamite review for tonight.
Now Friday, we have SmackDown and we have jay Usso who is going
to make what Paul Hayman said would be a historic decision. He's gonna have
to make a decision on where he stands in the bloodline. Is he with
Roman Reigns or is he with his brother Jimmy. So that is the next
big bloodline drama that they are building up for SmackDown. We have four by
the way, we have four Money in the Band qualifying matches coming up.
Actually, I think me Chin is in one of those matches. I don't
remember offhand who she's wrestling. I know Shotzi is in another match. I
know that Baron Corbyn is wrestling Butch, and I know that Santos Escobar is
going to be in a money in the Bank match as well. Again,
I don't have them in front of me. So that'll be smacked Down on
Friday, and hopefully you guys will be right back here with me again and
we'll cover that just like we covered down in might here tonight and then coming
up on Sunday will be episode eight to twelve of the SoundOff, and among
other things, I will be giving you my thoughts on the latest Dark Side
of the Ring episode on magnum Ta. Just watched the episode today. I
thought it was good, so we'll talk about that if you missed it.
