00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:05.360
Hey w Dynamite. Tonight was a
show carried not by the matches in the

2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.240
ring. It was a show carried
by the promos. A lot of promo

3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:14.919
work on tonight's show as they continued
the build to Revolution, which is well

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.600
less than two weeks away. I
guess it's coming on not this weekend,

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:23.519
but next Sunday. We had tonight
a promo involving Christian Cage and Daniel Garcia

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.760
after we got the official announcement that
at Revolution it will be Daniel Garcia,

7
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.600
not Adam Copeland, challenging for the
TNT Championship. So in fact, it

8
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.520
was exactly like what I figured last
week with that Cocerto angle that was done

9
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.280
as a way to write off Copeland, and so they're going to wait a

10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.880
little bit longer before they put him
in Christian back in the ring together.

11
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.719
Instead, Daniel Garcia is going to
get the shot. Daniel Garcia went out

12
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.880
there tonight and he had a live
mic on Dynamite and he cut what I

13
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.280
thought was a pretty decent promo.
It's not the sort of thing that he's

14
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.399
used to doing, but it's the
sort of thing that he needs to do

15
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.120
more of, and he has been
mildly getting over more and more each week

16
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.640
with the crowds. So that was
one promo segment on the show. We

17
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.480
also had a segment evolving Sting in
Darby Allen, and they were not in

18
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.719
the arena live tonight, but we
did hear from Sting for the first time

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.840
since he was attacked by the Young
Bucks a few weeks ago. Him and

20
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.159
his kids were attacked by Matt Nick, and it was a very kind of

21
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:32.760
low key, subdued intense promo.
Subdued and intense are two words that kind

22
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.599
of run counter to each other,
but that's the best way I could describe

23
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.280
it. He looked dead in the
camera and he cut one hell of a

24
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.719
promo, and he also made the
announcement that his father had just recently passed

25
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.159
away, so unfortunately his father will
not be able to see his final match.

26
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.280
But I thought it was another good
hard sell for that tag team match

27
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.159
that is the real main event coming
up at Revolution next weekend. It's not

28
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.760
the three way for the aw World
title. It's the Sting Darby Allen,

29
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.280
the Young Bucks tag team match,
the final match of Sting's career, and

30
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.400
I thought he did a hell of
a job in that promo tonight and somebody

31
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.680
else who did a hell of a
job I thought was Wardlow. Now this

32
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.599
undisputed Kingdom is on life support right
now. No Adam Cole on the show.

33
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.719
They didn't wheel him out there tonight. We did get the Kingdom.

34
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.360
We got Matt Tavid and Mike Bennett. Mike Bennett was the one wrestling tonight,

35
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.800
and like Matt Tavan last week,
he lost. Wardlow comes out by

36
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.120
himself, though later in the show
he takes a live mic and he proceeds

37
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.199
to cut the best promo I've ever
seen him cut in his entire career,

38
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.439
in aaw just burying anybody in everything, talking about how pissed off he is.

39
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.120
I'm glad that Wardlow on TV is
pissed off. I was pissed off

40
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.319
for him. Watching him fall from
grace from where he was at one time

41
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.080
in this company to where he is
now is a disgrace. And frankly,

42
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.759
I've been wondering why is it taking
this long for Wardlow to get pissed off

43
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.199
on TV? If I were him, I would have come out there on

44
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.800
television have been pissed off a long
time ago. But now they send him

45
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.680
out there now they have him playoff
of what I'm sure is some very real

46
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.759
emotion, because if anybody has a
right to feel frustrated and pissed off,

47
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.560
it's Wardlow. When you look at
the trajectory of his career over the last

48
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.520
two years, I mean, holy
shit. But I thought he did a

49
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.280
hell of a job with his promo
too. Now what it's leading to in

50
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.080
the near term, I don't know. I don't know where he fits into

51
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.759
this world title picture. And we'll
talk about what he said and more importantly,

52
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.520
who he mentioned in his promo.
But there were also two potential injuries

53
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:43.400
coming out of this show. One
involved Madison Ring, who came into the

54
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.439
show tonight having not wrestled in an
AAW match in over a year, and

55
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.199
it's been a little bit less than
that, but still, she hasn't wrestled

56
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.479
a Ring of Honor match since August, so I'm not sure she's had any

57
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.879
ring time since the summer. Now, maybe that would account for some of

58
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.120
the the ring rust, if you
want to call it that. She didn't

59
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.240
look good in that ring tonight at
all in her match with Deanna Parazzo,

60
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.560
and that was before she dropped herself
on her head a very scary spot,

61
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.719
but according to aw it was the
move of the night. And then at

62
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.879
the end of the main event tonight
Big Trios match, it was Samoa Joe,

63
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.120
Swerve, Strickland partners. Can they
coexist out there teaming up with Brian

64
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.240
Cage against Hangman, Page Hook and
Rob Van Dam. We need somebody to

65
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.240
do the job. Let's call RVD. You can imagine how that match ended.

66
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.120
But at the very end of the
match it looked like Hangman may have

67
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.639
suffered a legitimate injury. I hope
not, and Tony Kahn hopes not because

68
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.839
he's one third of your World Heavyweight
Title Magic Revolution. He's the guy that

69
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.040
I have. You know, we
talked about this last week. He's the

70
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:53.160
guy that I have taking the loss
in that match. And so all of

71
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.839
a sudden, if Hangman is seriously
hurt and unable to wrestle at the pay

72
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.639
per view, that leaves you with
Samoa Joe and Swerve one on one,

73
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.399
and I'm not so sure that Tony
Kahan is ready just yet put the title

74
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:09.079
on Swerve. That could create some
very big problems. If Hangman is hurt,

75
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.160
We'll talk about what happened and what
Hangman was saying audibly to the cameraman

76
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.639
near the end of that match.
But we also have some other news.

77
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:26.319
We had news that actually broke before
tonight's episode of Dynamite. Now, some

78
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.360
of you may have seen the news
last week that Jennifer Pepperman. She has

79
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.199
worked as a senior writer and producer
for a number of years, going back

80
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.240
to twenty seventeen in WWE. Last
week, Adam Pierce actually put a tweet

81
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.920
out putting her over and thanking her
for her time. It was pretty clear

82
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.879
that she had left or she was
leaving, and had some supporters, you

83
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.319
know, wishing her well on her
way out. So she was with WWE

84
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.279
for a number of years and primarily
was involved, I guess with the SmackDown

85
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.600
Women's division at least more recently.
But it was said to be her decision.

86
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.959
This was not a situation where she
was let go. She was fired

87
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.839
for some reason. She made a
choice that she wanted to leave WWE,

88
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:19.600
and now we know why. Aw
issued a press release earlier this evening announcing

89
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:26.319
that Jennifer Pepperman has joined the company
as its new Vice president of Content Development.

90
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.160
She will be working alongside Tony Kahn
on development of content for Dynamite,

91
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:38.240
Rampage and Collision. She's won multiple
Emmy Awards. She comes from the soap

92
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.560
opera world, so she's written for
soap operas in the past before her time

93
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.360
in wrestling. Now, Meltzer last
week mentioned that she's very close with Mercedes

94
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.439
Manet, and of course it just
so happens that Mercedes is very likely I'm

95
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:57.199
going to be making her aw debut
in Boston next month at their big,

96
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.920
big Business show, Big Business at
set of Dynamite that's coming up on March

97
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.040
thirteenth, And so all of a
sudden, it seems to make a lot

98
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.920
of sense. Not only does this
woman in Mercedes, is she getting the

99
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.360
big debut treatment from Tony Khan,
but now she's bringing a friend along that

100
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.360
I'm sure she's going to be working
very closely with if that's the case behind

101
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.079
the scenes in aaw so, she's
getting the star treatment here from Tony Khan

102
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.319
as well she should. But it's
not just a good move for Mercedes.

103
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.160
It's a good move for Tony Khan
to get somebody in there who has experience

104
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.600
in wrestling, working with the women
you know, and working with the women's

105
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.800
division somewhere else, and I think
if that's what she's going to be doing,

106
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.720
And it didn't say anything in the
press release about her working specifically with

107
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.800
the Ladies only, but I do
think getting somebody like that behind the scenes

108
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:56.720
to help him can only be a
plus for Tony Kana, whether it's her

109
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.120
or whether it's somebody else, whether
it's a male, whether it's a female,

110
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:07.199
him bringing in more help when it
comes to the content the creative to

111
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.800
help out, because we are we've
heard the stories about Tony Kahn, right,

112
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.439
he's responsible for this. He's doing
Ring of Honor stuff, he's got

113
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.160
three different aw shows, and he's
got Fulham and he's got a statistics company.

114
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.680
He's got all these things going on, all these irons in the fire,

115
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.240
and a lot of people have been
talking about the aw creative direction for

116
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.680
a while now and how it's very
Jekyll and Hyde, you know, as

117
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.279
far as the creative direction of this
company, And so I think him bringing

118
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.080
in help like that can only be
a positive thing. And I can't speak

119
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.639
to this woman specifically because I don't
know what story she was working on in

120
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.120
her time with WWE, you know, I don't know what credit she gets

121
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.480
for certain stories in that company,
you can. I mean, you have

122
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.039
writers in that company who may have
come up with stories that suck, and

123
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.639
you have people that may have come
up with stories that were fantastic, and

124
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.159
they'll never get any credit for those
because their name isn't attached to it.

125
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.320
It's not like an artist who can
sign his or her name in the corner

126
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.559
of the painting. It doesn't work
that way. So I can't speak to

127
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.519
her specifically, but I do think
this is the sort of move that's going

128
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.960
to be a big positive for AW
Now. It is worth mentioning the fact

129
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:24.840
that Pepperman was also one of the
many defendants named in a racial discrimination lawsuit

130
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:30.039
filed by another former WWE rider,
who I talked about previously on the podcast,

131
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.559
Britney Abraham's last April. So it's
less than a year ago that she

132
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:41.840
brought that lawsuit against the company.
Eventually, the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice,

133
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.240
which means it cannot be refiled at
a later date. A lot of

134
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.600
people took that to mean that she
must have settled, and when her lawyer

135
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.799
was reached for comment at the time, the only thing that her lawyer would

136
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.120
say is that they resolve things in
an amicable way. So that says to

137
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:05.159
me settlement anyway. That's just a
little side note there that she was one

138
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.159
of many people, including Vince and
Stephanie and other writers who were named in

139
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.600
that lawsuit. But I'll bet that's
what Vince McMahon is hoping for when it

140
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.360
comes to the Janelle Grand suit,
hoping for some settlement to make that go

141
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.919
away. The only thing is when
you got the Feds poking around settlement or

142
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.279
no settlement, that ain't gonna go
away so fast. This is your aw

143
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.639

148
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.279
you, brother Miguel. It's a

149
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.039
mention when a press release goes out
and a company makes an announcement about somebody

150
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.879
that they are bringing in and who's
going to be working behind the scenes.

00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.200
That is news. That is what
we call news. Leave that to me.

152
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.919
I will report the news to you. That's why it's being mentioned.

153
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.960
If it wasn't worth your time,
I wouldn't mention it. I got you

154
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.679
covered. I'm not going to waste
your time. Don't worry. All right,

155
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.360
here we go, let's get into
the review here. We kicked things

156
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.120
off with the Blackpool Combat Club,
John Moxley and Claudio Castignoli coming out for

157
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.440
a match against FTR, and what
a way to kick off the show here

158
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.120
tonight. This was the best match
on the entire show, and they kicked

159
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.320
off with it. Tonight. Harwood
had a bunch of athletic tape on his

160
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.039
right shoulder. I feel like both
members of FTR are just kind of constantly

161
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.639
in a state of injury, all
kinds of tape all over their body.

162
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.399
Moxley hit a suicide dive that was
meant for cash Wheeler. Harwood, though,

163
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.759
shoved his partner out of the way
and he took the bullet instead.

164
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:58.360
Back inside. FTR isolated Moxley and
there were some audible booze from the crowd,

165
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.159
and I think Taz even admonished the
Crop on commentary for booing these two

166
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.679
men. So Moxley came back with
a big clothes line. He tagged out.

167
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.919
Claudio worked over Harwood. He was
setting up for the giant swing.

168
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.320
Wheeler ran in. Claudio ended up
picking up both members of FTR in a

169
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.360
show of strength and he dumped them
both on their back. They ended up

170
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:31.080
outside BCC did with Harwood and they
connected on a spike pile driver to Dacks

171
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.519
on the floor and that took us
into the commercial break. Wheeler put Moxley

172
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.120
down after the break with a brain
buster. Justin Roberts announces that fifteen minutes

173
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.799
have gone by in this match.
Didn't feel like it. Fifteen minutes have

174
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.240
gone by. We now have five
minutes remaining. FTR set up for their

175
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.200
sup plex and splash combo, the
powerplex combo, Shout Out, Power and

176
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.600
glory. Castignoli, though broke it
up. Would ended up sending Claudio into

177
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.559
the corner which crouched Moxley, and
then he superplexed Moxley. Wheeler hit a

178
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.159
top rope splash, but Moxley got
the knees up. Claudio got a giant

179
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.200
swing on Dax, who ate a
kick from Moxley in mid swing and he

180
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.519
covered Dax for another near fall.
Moxley put Harwood in a chokehold and Wheeler

181
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.240
entered the ring to try to stop
it. Claudio, though, put him

182
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:30.559
in a chokehold and Wheeler powered up. Claudio sent him crashing into Moxley to

183
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.200
break the hold. Harwood put Moxley
in a sharpshooter. Claudio kicked Harwood once,

184
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.639
nothing, He kicked Harwood a second
time, nothing. Harwood would not

185
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.120
release the hole, so Claudio puts
cash Wheeler in a sharpshooter and he's facing

186
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.039
Harwood. They're staring at each other. Those two end up exchanging slaps.

187
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.080
They let go of their respective holes. Harwood put Claudio down with a pile

188
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:01.840
driver. Moxley then flipped off Dax. He hit the ropes and as he's

189
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.320
coming off, FTR is about to
hit him with the shatter machine. But

190
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.399
before Dax could get Moxley up for
the move, the bell rings, so

191
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.480
he picks Moxley up, but like
in mid move, he just stops.

192
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.639
Instead of following through on the movie, he just stops. He has no

193
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.639
idea what's going on, but we
get the announcement that the match has ended

194
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.799
in a time limit draw, and
of course the crowd booze because that's not

195
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.759
the finish. They wanted to see
crowd chanted for five more minutes, but

196
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.720
fuck you, you don't get five
more minutes. That's not how this works.

197
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.759
Both teams started brawling. Wrestlers ran
out, producers ran out, security

198
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.840
ran out, try to separate them, and they did for a little while,

199
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.000
but then they got loose outside the
ring and just a peer six brawl

200
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.240
broke out. And the crowd here
in Oklahoma was for it. They were

201
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:56.440
cheering this. They love this.
So this was an awesome match. A

202
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.759
wild postmatch brawl we see, you
know, pull apart brawl all the time,

203
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.759
but this was well done. Crowd
was super into it. This was

204
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:09.320
basically a tornado match because I kind
of lost track at different points of who

205
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.960
the legal man was, and they
didn't seem to care either, which is

206
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.840
not exactly a rare problem, it's
actually quite common in aaw So even though

207
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.240
it wasn't technically a tornado match,
that's basically what this ended up being.

208
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.559
Now. I didn't even realize that
they were that close to the time limit

209
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.840
until Justin Roberts made that time call. And look, it's a good reason

210
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.039
to give these two teams, you
know, an explanation for why they would

211
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.840
have a rematched revolution, which clearly
they're setting up a rematched revolution. We'll

212
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.480
get to that in a second.
So it's a good reason to give us

213
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.240
a rematch, but it shouldn't make
a habit out of this. We just

214
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.840
had a thirty minute time limit draw
two weeks ago with Hangman and Swerve right,

215
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.720
that was a great match. This
was also a great match, and

216
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.120
so I don't mind them doing it
here. But I also don't want to

217
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.000
see them make a habit out of
doing the time limit draw thing two offen,

218
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.639
because then you've run it into the
ground. So hopefully that that doesn't

219
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:06.600
become a common occurrence here. But
you know, a well placed time limit

220
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:10.399
draw every now and then is fine. One thing that AW does the WWE

221
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:18.039
does not do that I like is
they have normalized the time announcements, so

222
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.120
you know, sometimes it may feel
a little disruptive, but you have Justin

223
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:27.519
Roberts usually at the fifteen minute mark
announcing fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, if

224
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:32.480
it's a longer match, twenty five
minutes, and so they remind you that

225
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.960
the time limit is a normal thing
in WWE. When we get the occasional

226
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:44.240
time limit draws, it's just patently
obvious what they're doing because they don't draw

227
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.759
any attention to it, because it's
just not something that they have that they've

228
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.399
done over the years. Only when
you know it's going to a draw will

229
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.440
they draw attention to Oh, wait, we only have so much time left

230
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.600
in the match, right, I
mean, so I like the fact that

231
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.320
they normalize it, and so when
it does happen and again it should be

232
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.799
a rare occurrence, but it just
feels like a normal part of the show

233
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.240
and it's not like, you know, they're trying to insult your intelligence,

234
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:11.599
like, oh, we're doing a
draw tonight, really because you never mentioned

235
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.640
the time limit before. So I
like that now. Renee was in a

236
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:25.720
hallway backstage with Orange Cassidy. Doc
Samson was standing by. We were gonna

237
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:30.319
need the good Doctor many times here
on this show tonight. So Renee started

238
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.039
to run through a laundry list of
Orange Cassidy's very hectic schedule that he has

239
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:40.000
been keeping over the last several weeks, including a trip to the UK because

240
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.279
he just went to the UK with
Darby and Tony Khan to promote All In

241
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:49.640
at Wembley, and there was a
couple of photos online of Cassidy and Darby.

242
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:53.079
I guess they were the guests of
Tony Khan. Was it a Fullham

243
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.400
game? Might have been a Fullham
game. I don't know. I don't

244
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.440
know if it's in season. They
went to a game and they did.

245
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.759
They look completely unenthusiastic to be there. But while they were there, they

246
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.839
stopped at a RevPro show and Orange
Cassidy also, I think it was a

247
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.119
title defense, defended his international title
in a seven way match at the RevPro

248
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.000
show. Tony Kahan was there too. He was up in the VIP box

249
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.240
and he was, you know,
geeking out at different points and getting into

250
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.000
it because he's a fan. So
she's running down all these different things.

251
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.880
By the way, they'll probably count
that Rev Pro match in the rankings,

252
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:32.000
I'm sure the doctor said the Cassidy
h he meets their requirements, the minimum

253
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.880
requirement, the minimum requirement to be
cleared medically. But he does meet the

254
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.119
bar so he can wrestle tonight.
And I gotta I gotta give a shout

255
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.559
out to Bliss fan here because I
noticed Bliss fan made the comment in the

256
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:48.640
chat that these aw doctors, if
they could, would clear Triple H to

257
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.000
have a match. I'm pretty sure
that's pretty bang on. Like a Triple

258
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.440
H was on this show. Doc
Samson would look at this guy, right,

259
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.079
he would draw some blood, all
right, he would check for his

260
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.400
heartbeat, pulse up, sounds good, blood pressure looks good. All right,

261
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.319
you can get in there. You're
cleared. It wouldn't take that much.

262
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.839
I wouldn't think to get that guy
in the ring. He's good to

263
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:17.880
go. Put that man in the
ring. Alex Marvez was backstage with FTR,

264
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.920
and FTR said that they came here
to kick the Blackpool Combat Club's asses.

265
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.519
Dax suggested another match a Revolution.
When Moxley and Claudio showed up.

266
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.240
Now they were being held back,
they were being restrained, and that FTR

267
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.839
had to be restrained. And so
again we had a little pole apart situation

268
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.200
here between the two teams, and
we got no clarity. We got no

269
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:45.519
further clarity on the challenge, at
least not in this segment for Revolution.

270
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.519
But obviously we're getting a rematch a
Revolution, and I'm all for it.

271
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.640
Again. I thought the match tonight
was great, so imagine what they can

272
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.039
do on the pay per view.
Speaking of Orange Cassidy, he was an

273
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:03.039
Action Next title against Mike Bennett of
the Undisputed Kingdom with Matt Tavan in his

274
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:10.400
corner no Adam Cole. This week, the announcers talked about how the Undisputed

275
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.559
Kingdom laid out Chuck Taylor, they
laid out Rocky Romero, and then based

276
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.200
on what we saw at the end
of the show last week, tren Bretta

277
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:22.880
was not cleared, so that left
Cassidy flying solo tonight. He charged up

278
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.279
the ramp before the match even began. Bennett tried to hit him with a

279
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.599
belt shot. Cassidy ducked and he
made a bee line towards Matt Tavan who

280
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.079
was behind him, and he dropped
him. He blasted him with an orange

281
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:40.559
punch, so the match officially began. In the ring, Bennett quickly took

282
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:47.000
over on offense. Cassidy, though
hit the stun Dog Millionaire spinning DDT Roderick

283
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.599
Strong hit the ring. He distracted
the referee long enough for Bennett to hit

284
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:56.480
Cassidy low and he hit a pile
driver for a two count. Bennett controlled

285
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.799
through the entire commercial break, and
then he grabbed a headset from commentary like

286
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.559
he's the rock. He puts the
headset on, he's cutting the promo and

287
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:10.079
the fans are booing him. Well, that little distraction there wasted time,

288
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.920
and so when he turned his attention
back to the match, Cassidy caught him

289
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.680
with a pair of suicide dives.
Bennett responded with a spinebuster on the apron

290
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.279
and a death valley driver on the
floor back inside, Bennett took too long

291
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:30.559
to follow up, and Cassidy exploded
out with a desperation orange punch. Bennett

292
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.480
was able to fight off the beach
break. He hit a Gotch style pile

293
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.359
driver for a close near fall.
Cassidy countered another pile driver attempt into a

294
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:44.039
beach break out of nowhere and picked
up the wind. So another loss here

295
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:49.880
for the undisputedly mediocre Kingdom. Here
on this show, Matt Tavin hit the

296
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:56.200
ring with Roddy. They just pounced
on this guy when all of a sudden,

297
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.720
we hear music. I don't know
who's mused this is. I have

298
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.480
no fucking idea, but I look
up at the tron and the fans are

299
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.720
cheering. The fans are going nuts
here. And I look up at the

300
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:11.680
tron and I see Jake Hager,
and I said, my brain couldn't comprehend

301
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:17.519
the reaction that I was hearing and
the name Jake Hager, And it took

302
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:22.400
me a few seconds to remember that
they were in Oklahoma tonight, and that

303
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.519
Jake Hager is from Oklahoma. He's
not from Tulsa, where they were,

304
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:27.279
but he's from Perry, I believe, Perry, Oklahoma. He's an Oklahoma

305
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:32.559
boy, hometown boy. So he
got a hometown reaction on his way out.

306
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:34.720
Thankfully, no stupid bucket hat on
his head, although he did come

307
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:40.359
out wearing shades and no shirt and
Jim Schwartz, which is that's certainly a

308
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.000
look. And he ran down to
the ring. He took out Matt Tavian,

309
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.720
he took out Mike Bennett, Roddy
bailed, and the place went nuts

310
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:55.359
because again hometown hero tonight for one
mat only. And he helped Orange Castidy

311
00:22:55.400 --> 00:23:00.559
to his feet as they began to
play this man's music. Ex Caliber on

312
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:07.680
Commentary says that Tony Khan has informed
him that on Rampage this Friday, the

313
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.599
match is made and it's going to
be Jake Hager one on one with Roderick

314
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.920
Strung, and not only did they
make the announcement, but they had the

315
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.720
graphic up on screen already. They
already had the little graphic up in the

316
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:25.000
corner of the screen ready to go. So are we supposed to are we

317
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:30.319
supposed to process this as the match
had already been made but not announced,

318
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.319
And so Hagar came down to the
ring to make the save and more so

319
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:41.240
to attack Roddy because Roddy is his
scheduled opponent for Friday. Or are we

320
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.960
supposed to believe that this man here
in his hometown, his home state,

321
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.319
came out to make the save as
a surprise for Orange Cassidy And in the

322
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:55.839
span of literally twenty seconds, if
that Tony Khan made the match announcement and

323
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.240
they got the graphic whipped up,
I'm not sure which either way, it

324
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.359
was very silly, but that match
is official now for Rampage, which of

325
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.519
course is being taped tonight. So
Hager gets to match in his home state.

326
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.839
No Jim Ross on the show,
even though they were in Oklahoma.

327
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:17.119
For those who don't know Jim Ross's
recovering, he suffered a broken hip and

328
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:21.279
he is on the mend, so
best wishes to JR. I don't know

329
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.039
what that means as far as his
chances of, you know, being at

330
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.799
Revolution in a few weeks. It's
not even a few weeks, like I

331
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.720
said, it's next weekend. I
know he and Tony Shravanni were hoping to,

332
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.559
if not do the pay per view, they were hoping to at least

333
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.160
call Stings match in the main event. I don't know if he'll physically be

334
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:42.599
able to do that, which would
be a shame because JR and Shravanni were

335
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.759
the announced team for the first thing
in Rick Flair match in that building back

336
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.480
in nineteen eighty eight, so it
would have been nice, yeah, a

337
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.680
little callback there to have the two
of them doing it. But if he

338
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.680
physically can't do it, then he
physically can't do it. But all the

339
00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:03.160
best to JR. So Renee was
back stage with Angelo Parker and she was

340
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.559
asking him are you ready? Are
you finally ready? And I'm like ready

341
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.039
for what she said, are you
ready to finally go on that first date

342
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.480
with Ruby? Soho and I had
completely forgotten about this storyline, but they

343
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:21.079
have been doing that storyline for a
little while, and Ruby showed out and

344
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.119
she was all dressed up like she
was ready to go out for a night

345
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:27.319
on the town. As they went
to go leave, a white escalade pulled

346
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.599
up behind them, and Ruby turns
around and sees this, and she says,

347
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:36.160
is that for us? And he
says, no, I actually called

348
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:41.400
the lift. I don't see anything
wrong with that. So they walk off

349
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.000
to go find the lift. Meanwhile, the camera is still focused on the

350
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.440
escalade and they're shooting and I love
this, and again I know why they

351
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.039
do it. I'm just again I'm
picking knits here, but they do this

352
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:57.319
on every wrestling show. Cameraman walks
up to the escalade and instead of just

353
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:04.000
having the cameraman stand there and shoot
the shot of the door, he shoots

354
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:08.440
the feet like he's got his cue. You got to shoot the feet and

355
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:11.680
then you do the dramatic right the
raise up so you can see who it

356
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.759
is. And the person who steps
out of the car is Rick Flair.

357
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.799
Now, we have not seen Rick
Flair on television, thank god, in

358
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.079
many weeks, which he doesn't have
to be on television every week. When

359
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:26.799
Tony con announced that Flair was going
to be a part of Sting's retirement right,

360
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.440
I want to hitch my wagon to
use thing. I want to be

361
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.640
a part of this retirement tour.
I was a little worried that they were

362
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.720
going to put Flair on TV every
week, which would have gotten old like

363
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:40.400
Flair, but they haven't. They've
kept him off TV for a while.

364
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:45.440
They bring him back in doses here
and there. So he was by himself

365
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.799
and he was walking into the building
when they return live. Renee caught up

366
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:53.839
with Flair inside the arena and she
said, you know, Revolution is just

367
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:59.160
around the corner, and she wanted
some thoughts on Sting's final match that was

368
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:07.960
coming out, and Flair was uncharacteristically
solemn and subdued, and he's very serious,

369
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:12.519
and he said that he was actually
very disappointed because when he signed up

370
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:15.720
for this, he thought that he
would be more involved. I could,

371
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:19.640
by the way, I could totally
believe that that's true. This was like

372
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:23.519
the realist Rick Flair promo I've heard
in a while like that. I could

373
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:27.759
totally see Flair being upset that they're
not doing more with him, like legitimately.

374
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:30.960
So he said he feels that he
should be right in the middle of

375
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:37.599
everything again again workshoot right there.
I'm sure he really does feel that way,

376
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.519
and he said that he hasn't been
around the last three or four weeks,

377
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.079
so that's been very disappointing. So
now he's just going to explore his

378
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:51.240
options. And he went knocking on
someone's door and the Young Bucks opened the

379
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.839
door. They want to know,
what are you doing here? And Flair

380
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.880
asked them if they had some time, and they welcomed him into their locker

381
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:02.279
room. This was actually a real
to me because one of the things I've

382
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.920
been talking about one of the things
that I was kind of afraid of that

383
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.839
Tony kh might do, and not
that he still can't do it, but

384
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.559
they kind of, I think,
took that away. Tonight is we get

385
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.759
the swerve at Revolution, where if
Sting wants to lose. I really think

386
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:22.119
that Tony Khan is willing to give
Sting whatever he wants. He lets Sting

387
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.920
pick his opponent for his final match. He wanted the Young Bucks. Sting

388
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.200
probably wanted Flair to be along for
the ride. Kevin Nash talked this week

389
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.519
about Sting called him up and said, hey, I want you to come

390
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.079
to the show and be a part
of my last match. Probably just like

391
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.480
in the front row or something,
and Nash said that he couldn't. He

392
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:44.000
asked WWE and it was a no
go. They're not actually going to let

393
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:48.000
him be there. So I think
Tony Khan is going to let Sting do

394
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.359
whatever he wants. And if Sting
says, look I gotta lose, I

395
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.559
got to go out on my back
it's the right thing to do, then

396
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.000
Sting is going to go out on
his back. And I'm thinking, Okay,

397
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.799
Flair might just turn on Sting one
last time he helps the Young Bucks

398
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:06.759
win. Maybe they do a deal
where Sting challenges him to a match on

399
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.680
the spot, they do an impromptu
match right to send the fans home happy

400
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.440
or something. The fact that they
had Flair here walk into the Young Bucks

401
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.720
locker room as if he might actually
side with the Young Bucks, I think

402
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.799
takes that possibility away. It makes
that a lot less likely, which is

403
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:29.440
good because I've already seen Rick Flair
turn on Sting five thousand times before,

404
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:34.119
I don't really need to see it
again. But now we're left to wonder

405
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:40.160
what exactly are they talking about there
in that locker room. That Tony Schavani

406
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:45.920
was up next in the ring and
he welcomed Daniel Garcia to the ring for

407
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:49.119
a special interview here. By the
way, I just to go back to

408
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.799
the Nation thing for a second,
Like I get that Kevin Nash, I'm

409
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.119
sure he's signed to a Legends deal. All these guys are signed to Legends

410
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:02.200
deal except Flair. Flair used to
be apparently didn't pay enough so he wanted

411
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:07.640
out of it. But even still
in a situation like this now, I

412
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.359
don't know ultimately who's making the final
call here. It may be Nick Con.

413
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.640
Yeah, Triple H is the chief
content officer. Triple H is not

414
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:21.000
running the company per se. I
don't know who that final decision rests with,

415
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:22.559
if it's Nick Con, if it's
a combination of the two of them.

416
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:27.519
But you would think as close as
Triple H and Nash are, and

417
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:33.200
this being a special circumstance, if
Kevin Nash, a member of the Click,

418
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:38.440
picks up the phone and calls WWE
or reaches out directly to Hunter,

419
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:41.960
and I would think that if anybody, he would have reached out directly to

420
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.920
his buddy Paul, and they still
won't let him be a part of the

421
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.720
show, just to even be there, not even necessarily be a part of

422
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:53.160
anything physical or not that he could
do anything physical at this point. But

423
00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:00.160
I mean, how ridiculous is that. Think about the amount of time relative

424
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.319
to his entire career the Nash actually
spent in WWE. It's actually a relatively

425
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.480
short period of time. Came into
the company in ninety three, he left

426
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.559
the company in early ninety six.
He came back in two thousand and two.

427
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.559
That didn't last all that long,
right, that went basically into three.

428
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:22.880
The majority of his career was spent
in WCW and in TNA more than

429
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.119
WWE. And yet WWE is like, Nope, you can't go. We

430
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.640
got you under lock and key.
I guess he doesn't want he doesn't want

431
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.319
to give up the paychecks. So
there you go. Sting won't have Kevin

432
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.240
Nash there for his final match.
I guess we won't get that Wolfpack reunion

433
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:45.960
a revolution. That's too bad.
So Daniel Garcia comes down to the ring

434
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:52.000
and he said a week ago,
Garcia and Adam Copeland, they fought to

435
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.960
decide on a number one contender for
the TNT Championship, and we all saw

436
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:02.599
what happened. Shavanni mentioned that Copeland
on the shelf after the concerto from Christian

437
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:10.640
he is unable to compete. However, However, at Revolution, Daniel Garcia

438
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:16.039
is getting his TNT title match one
on one against Christian Cage, and he

439
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:23.319
congratulated him and the crowd chanted you
deserve it. At Garcia Garcia said,

440
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.559
a lot of the time he feels
he doesn't deserve it, so he genuinely

441
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.720
thanked the fans for saying that.
It means a lot to him. Says

442
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.480
people always told him that he was
going to be great, but he started

443
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:37.799
to lose that confidence a few months
ago when he was at his lowest point.

444
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.559
But he knew that going through all
of that three seconds, three seconds,

445
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.839
it's all that it takes. It's
all he needed. And at the

446
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.720
end of the Continental Classic, he
said, he got those three seconds and

447
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.039
it changed his life. Every time
he got down, the fans picked him

448
00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:00.680
back up. Every time he danced, they danced with him. He thanked

449
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.720
the fans for helping him restore that
feeling. And Adam copelands, he says,

450
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.880
no one knows how that match between
you and I would have ended before

451
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:13.119
the patriarchy ran in and interfered,
but he has full confidence that he would

452
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.400
have made him tap out, and
he said he's going to see him again,

453
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:21.480
but the next time he'll be holding
the TNT title, and that brings

454
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:27.160
him to Revolution. He had a
message for Christian, but before he could

455
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:30.200
get it out, Christian and the
rest of the patriarchy interrupted walked out on

456
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:36.839
stage. We had Mother Wayne,
We had Nick Wayne. We had Wayne

457
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:40.079
Newton and Wayne Gretzky and whatever other
Wayne Wayne Hart, Right, isn't their

458
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:44.079
heart brother named Wayne. They got
about sixteen of them, so I'm sure

459
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.240
one of them's named Wayne. They
had Wayne, they had Smith, they

460
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.519
had Dean, they had Owen,
they had Bruce, they had Brett,

461
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:58.920
whom I missing. Is at least
six more of them so anyway, and

462
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:04.079
Killswitch can't forget the Dinosaur. He
was out there as well. Christian said

463
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.639
that Copeland will never have another shot
at his TNT title ever again. He

464
00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:12.480
said Garcia stands there as the number
one contender for his title at Revolution.

465
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:16.880
Says that Garcia has been on a
hell of a run recently, racking up

466
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:20.440
wins left and right, but as
much as he would love to step into

467
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.960
the ring with him, he really
doesn't think that it should happen at Revolution,

468
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.880
so It's not that he doesn't think
he's not worthy, he just doesn't

469
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:32.559
think he's ready. He likes his
dance moves, he says. Garcia likes

470
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:39.880
his dance moves and his girations,
but they're just distractions. He just wants

471
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:45.239
to entertain the fans. Christian just
wants to leave the arena every night as

472
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:52.719
the most dominant TNT champion of all
time. He said, he knows something

473
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:57.559
that these people don't know. That
Daniel had a pretty dark childhood, didn't

474
00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.400
you, Daniel? At that point
you just knew, uh, oh,

475
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:05.039
we know where this is headed.
He says, you didn't have so many

476
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:08.159
happy memories. Do you know a
Jackie Garcia that lives and he gave a

477
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:12.559
specific address. Do you know a
Jackie Garcia that lives in Buffalo, New

478
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.360
York? And can you confirm to
me that Jackie was married to David Garcia?

479
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:24.360
And I understand that David Garcia is
your father and your father is dead.

480
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:29.599
Now wouldn't it be a fairy tale
ending at revolution for you to hold

481
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:32.199
that title above your head in memory
of your father. But your father wasn't

482
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.679
so great now was? He says, your father was actually a piece of

483
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:40.360
crap. He was a loser,
alcoholic who lost his life to the bottle,

484
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.000
and unlike him, I don't want
to hurt you, Daniel. I

485
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.840
want to help you. Unlike him, I want to make sure you realize

486
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:52.000
your full potential. So revolution I
don't want to be your opponent, Daniel,

487
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.880
he goes, I want to be
your father. This man is a

488
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:02.519
menace. Garcia said, Yeah,
I would have thought that by now i'd

489
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:06.039
kind of be tired of this,
but I'm really not. Actually, I

490
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.199
fucking love Christian Cage. Every time
he comes out and picks up the mic,

491
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:12.280
I sit here and pay attention to
every single word the man says it.

492
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.320
Even though I could see the line
coming from a mile away. The

493
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.920
one thing is it's become very predictable, and so again you would think,

494
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:21.239
like, all right, it's not
gonna really hit the way that it used

495
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:23.920
to. I could see it coming, and even still when it hits,

496
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:30.039
it hits like fucking crack. I
love it. I love it. Garcias

497
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:31.840
said, since you know so much
about my dead father, why don't you

498
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:36.000
come down to the ring, And
he said He'll put Christian in the ground

499
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:40.920
right next to him, which was
a pretty pretty badass line there. Christian

500
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.440
sent Nick Wayne to the ring instead, and Garcia immediately took him down and

501
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.840
put him in a sharpshooter kill.
Switch was down to the ring next,

502
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:52.440
but before he could get inside,
Matt Menard hit him in the back with

503
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:55.280
a chair and made the save.
He and Garcia held court in the ring.

504
00:36:55.360 --> 00:37:00.320
Each one would steal chairs. They
held back the patriarchy. There it

505
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:07.000
is the non ranked Daniel Garcia,
nowhere to be found in the rankings,

506
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:13.920
is now the number one contender for
the TNT Championship. This week's episode is

507
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.440
sponsored by Express VPN. You know, I drop my phone the other day.

508
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.719
I almost had a heart attack because
I don't drop stuff, not usually.

509
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.000
I keep my phone in a protective
case anyway, because for the money

510
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.559
I paid for this thing, I
can buy a twenty dollars case to keep

511
00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:30.639
it safe. Going online to do
your banking, or to buy things and

512
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:37.639
give your credit card information out,
or really to do anything without using ExpressVPN

513
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.039
would be like using your smartphone without
a case. All it takes is one

514
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.400
drop on concrete and you're gonna wish
you had that protection. Trust Me,

515
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.760
you need a VPN because every time
you connect to a network that's not encrypted,

516
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.159
which could be anywhere outside your home. Really, you have to assume

517
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:58.039
that your data is not secure.
Anyone with enough know how on that same

518
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:04.039
network can easily steal your personal data
that includes passwords and important financial details.

519
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.760
It doesn't take much. Any kid
who looks up how to do it online

520
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.000
can do it, and your data
is valuable. Hackers can make out with

521
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:14.760
up to one thousand bucks per person
selling your information on the dark web.

522
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:16.960
So now that you know you need
to be using a VPN, let me

523
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:22.760
tell you why you should be using
Express VPN Because it creates an encrypted tunnel

524
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:27.519
between your device and the Internet,
so hackers can't steal your data, so

525
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.000
you know it's secure. It's also
easy to use. You just fire up

526
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.320
the app, you click one button
and that's it. You're protected and it

527
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:37.199
works on all devices like phones,
laptops, tablets, and more. That

528
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:42.280
ease of use, that's what I
like most personally about ExpressVPN. I don't

529
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:45.400
have to think about it. I
just click a button and it takes care

530
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.760
of the rest. For me,
that's important to me because my life is

531
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:53.400
online. All of our lives really
are online personally and professionally, and the

532
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:58.360
last thing that I want is someone
snooping around and stealing my information. It's

533
00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:00.679
not their information, it's mine,
and I'd like to keep it that way.

fact got to do Daniel Garcia one on

538
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.760
one, which I prefer. I
wasn't sure if they might turn it into

539
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:29.000
a three way like the world title
match. I'm glad it's one on one,

540
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.000
and i don't think it's out of
the realm of possibility that we're gonna

541
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:36.760
get a new TNT champion a revolution. Yeah, I'm not ready to commit

542
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:38.840
one way or the other to a
prediction on who I think is ultimately gonna

543
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:45.079
win. Kind of on the fence
right now, leaning towards Christian, but

544
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:49.800
Daniel Garcia can walk out of there
with that TNT title of Adam Copeland was

545
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:52.599
to show up and play a role
in the finish of that match. If

546
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:58.400
kill Switch and or Nick Wayne tries
to get involved, and Copeland makes his

547
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:04.559
triumphant return to stop that from happening. And Daniel Garcia, who is riding

548
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:07.320
a I don't want to say a
wave of momentum, like you know,

549
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:10.280
he's the biggest star in the business
right now, he's not, but he's

550
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:15.519
getting more and more fan support as
time goes on as a babyface, especially

551
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:19.599
coming out of the Continental Classic,
you know, kind of the underdog coming

552
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.320
out of that tournament. He does
the stupid, silly dance, but the

553
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:24.599
people have been getting a little bit
more behind him. But he is one

554
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:30.760
of those young guys on the roster
that Tony Khan is obviously very high and

555
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.840
he's very talented in the ring.
They have been trying with him to have

556
00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:38.639
him with the dancing stuff, you
know, be a little more charismatic and

557
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:43.519
show off a little more of his
personality, which he has to. I

558
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.840
think that's a good thing. But
you know what, if you want to

559
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:52.199
get over one of your young guys, you're young quote unquote homegrown guys,

560
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.280
well this is the way to do
it. Somebody like Christian Cage, who

561
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:01.519
I love Christian's whole stick right now
and I think he's great. But if

562
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:04.800
you want to put over one of
the young guys. You have one of

563
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.400
the vets go in there and do
the honors for it, and you put

564
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:12.559
that TNT title on Daniel Garcia,
because that's really what that title should be

565
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.440
for. It should be a championship
that helped elevate people like Daniel Garcia,

566
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:19.639
who are right there in that middle
of the card level, but you want

567
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:22.480
to try to elevate them to upper
mid card. You want to try to

568
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:25.679
elevate them to that next level.
When the TNT title started out, that's

569
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.320
not really what it was necessarily designed
for. You had people like Cody Rhodes

570
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:34.880
and Darby Allen, and Cody in
particular, because he couldn't wrestle for the

571
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.760
world title because he made that dumb
decision that while I lost, so I

572
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:43.639
can never again challenge for the aw
title, he made the TNT title his

573
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.000
own. You know, Cody was
one of the biggest stars in the company.

574
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:49.679
He was one of the EVPs,
so you couldn't really call it a

575
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:52.360
mid card title at the time.
But I think that's really what that title

576
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:59.679
now is designed to try to do, or should be, is to try

577
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:04.519
to l someone like a Garcia or
like a Ricky Starks or like a Powerhouse

578
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.440
hops to that next love. I
thought that would be the case with Wardlow.

579
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:13.239
We'll get to him later. Didn't
quite work out that way for Wardlow.

580
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.840
But they're obviously saving the Copeland Christian
rematch for Double or Nothing. Who

581
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.400
says it has to be from the
TNT title. Why do we need to

582
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.000
see Adam Copeland go on to become
TNT champion. We already saw it.

583
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:30.239
We saw it at World ten.
He won the title already. Now,

584
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:35.239
granted it was only for a few
minutes, but so what, he held

585
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:39.599
his first gold since twenty eleven.
It's already been done. He doesn't need

586
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:42.679
a title. What the fuck do
you need to put a title on him

587
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.880
for? So? Yeah, I
think they could easily take that title off

588
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:51.760
of Christian and still do Christian and
Copeland in some kind of gimmick match at

589
00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:58.519
Double or Nothing. There's nothing wrong
with that. Rene was backstage with Hangman,

590
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:02.840
Page Hook and Rob Vandam ahead of
their trio's main event tonight. Page

591
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:07.199
said that they wouldn't be there if
RBD had beaten Swerve in their hardcore match.

592
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:13.360
A while back. RBD rambled on
about something I don't know what he

593
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:16.800
was talking about. It sounded like
he maybe was celebrating a little too early.

594
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:20.440
He catched my drift, but then
again, he always sounds like that.

595
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:27.000
We had timeless Tony Storm in a
warm up match for Revolution non title

596
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:34.039
against Sidney Winnell. Tony hit a
corner splash and then a running bulldog.

597
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:36.840
She hit the running hip attack in
the corner. She hit the Storm zero

598
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.000
pile driver. Could have ended it
right there, chose not to. She

599
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:45.360
applied an ankle lock, which she
is dubbed break a leg, and then

600
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:52.119
she let go and she opted instead
to pull back on both arms and Winnell

601
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:57.599
gave up immediately in the Venus de
Milo submission, that is, of course,

602
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:02.039
Diana Parrazzo's submission instantly gave up,
so an easy win for the champion,

603
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:07.599
and that brought out her challenger,
her opponent at Revolution, Deanna Parazza,

604
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:10.199
who we were also told would be
an action tonight, and we got

605
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:15.440
this awesome split screen shot as Dianna
made her way down to the ring.

606
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.960
She and Tony. As she was
entering, Tony looked like she was leaving

607
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:25.800
and they cross pads and they had
on screen half the screen on the Dianna

608
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:30.800
side was in color. Half the
screen on the Tony side was in black

609
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:36.239
and white. That was awesome,
And I have to really compliment their production

610
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.519
because with this Tony Storm character,
some of the things that they have done

611
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:43.440
with the black and white stuff,
I think has just been fantastic. So

612
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:47.400
that was a great shot. Parazzo
wel one on one with the returning Madison

613
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:52.559
Rain and this was not good at
all. This was not a good match.

614
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:58.880
There was a terrifying spot where Madison
spiked herself. She did it to

615
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:02.079
herself, she spiked her right on
top of her head. But even before

616
00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:05.880
that, you can't even blame it
on the injury. Even before that,

617
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:09.519
she was very sluggish, moving in
slow motion. I don't know what was

618
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:13.199
going on now. Again, I
mentioned it earlier. This is her first

619
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:17.239
AW match televised match in over a
year. You have to go back all

620
00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:21.039
the way to last February, the
last time she had an AAW match.

621
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.599
She had a Ring of Honor match
last in August. I don't know that

622
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:29.119
she's wrestled any matches since then.
You know, she works as like a

623
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:31.760
coach or an agent for the women
behind the scenes in the company. So

624
00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:36.599
maybe you could chalk it up to
Ring Russ and the fact that she just

625
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:39.880
hasn't been working a lot. I
don't know, you can attribute it to

626
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:45.199
whatever you want. She did not
look good here in this match Prazzo and

627
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.559
Rain. They did a double clothesline
spot and then came the spot that I

628
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:53.400
was referring to where Deanna looked like
she was going for a flat line.

629
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:57.800
That's what it looked like to me. She wasn't really doing it any differently

630
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.800
than any normal flat liner that you
would see. And for whatever reason,

631
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:07.559
Madison tucked her head on the way
down and she landed right on top of

632
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.440
her head. And it was not
even just that she landed. She spiked

633
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:15.480
herself down into the mat right on
top of her head. And just to

634
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:19.880
give you a sense of what this
looked like here, that was the moment

635
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:23.320
of impact as she landed right on
her head and as you could see there,

636
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:30.119
they made it the move of the
night. This was their move of

637
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:38.760
the night, presented by TurboTax.
Are these people for real? This was

638
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:44.280
the move of the night. A
near death experience here for Madison, Rain

639
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:47.199
and Doc Samson was at Ring,
so he came over. He didn't get

640
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:51.400
into the ring, but he came
over immediately to ask the referee if he

641
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:55.599
was needed. And Madison must have
told Paul Turner that she was okay because

642
00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:01.119
she called the doctor off. I
mean only went another fifteen seconds anyway.

643
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:05.440
She probably just wanted to get the
finish done. There's no way that she

644
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.119
was okay after this. I mean, I'm hoping, you know, nothing's

645
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:14.079
broken or fractured or anything like that
or can cussed. But at the very

646
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:16.159
least she obviously rang her bell.
I mean, how could she not look

647
00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:22.239
at this? So they went right
to the finish anyway, which was Deanna

648
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.480
applying an ankle lot which is the
break of leg submission that Tony storm uses,

649
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:32.840
and Madison tapped out. So this
was bad, but hopefully she's okay.

650
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:37.159
The most important thing is that hopefully
she is all right. That was

651
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:42.320
very, very scary. After the
match, Tony tried and attack Dianna,

652
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:46.280
knocked her down and then Pirazzo went
after Mariah May In doing so, that

653
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:52.639
allowed Tony to apply the break a
leg on Pirazzo's left ankle. Referee managed

654
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:58.119
to pull Tony off and Tony started. She's laying on the mat up against

655
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.119
the ropes, looking at Dianna who
was sitting on the mat against the ropes

656
00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:06.119
on the opposite side, and we
got another cool shot where they again right

657
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:07.400
down the middle, one half of
the screen in color, the other half

658
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.360
of the screen in black and white, and Tony begins to smear lipstick all

659
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.360
over her face. She's doing her
best Chelsea Green as Laurel van Ness and

660
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:21.400
TNA impression, smearing it all over
her face, and then she rolled out

661
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:25.320
to the floor. I just I
still can't believe they chose that as their

662
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.199
move of the night. That was
certainly a choice. Holy shit, who

663
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:37.039
made that call? They replayed the
Young Bucks attack from two weeks ago,

664
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:39.360
that great angle at the end of
the show, after Stinging Darby won the

665
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:44.800
tag team titles, where they laid
out Darby and Sting and stings offspring,

666
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:50.000
Stinger number one and Stinger number two, and then they cut to a pre

667
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:54.480
taped Darby promo and he he ends
Sting. He said, have been looking

668
00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:58.800
at some old photographs, and he
looked, I guess over at Sting off

669
00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:01.559
camera and asked for Thing's permission if
it was okay if he showed the Bucks

670
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:07.199
some of these photos and Sting said
it was okay. And he showed a

671
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:13.920
photo of Sting and his sons Garrett
and Stephen back when and Darby said,

672
00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:17.239
at that time they were the same
age that your kids are now, Matt

673
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:21.679
and Nick. And it looked like
a photo from the Wolfpack era because thing

674
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:23.559
was there. He had the red
face paint on, so this was obviously

675
00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:30.320
from probably ninety nine or something.
Then Sting walked into camera frame and he

676
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:35.159
was very reserved and subdued, but
he just had this intense look in his

677
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:38.239
eyes as he was staring into the
camera. He said, in all his

678
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:43.559
years in wrestling, no one has
ever messed with his own flesh and blood

679
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.880
until the young Bucks. He said, He's had lots going on in his

680
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:52.079
personal life over the last few weeks. Besides this, he said, seven

681
00:49:52.159 --> 00:50:00.599
days ago or so, another family
member of his father passed away. Christ

682
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:05.480
don't let Christian know. He said, he was a hero to him.

683
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:08.840
He taught him right. He makes
him think a lot about his own mortality.

684
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:13.679
He used to think he was so
invincible. The time catches up with

685
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:15.440
everyone, and it caught him up. It caught up to him for sure.

686
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:20.440
He said, he knows truly that
he is not invincible. But one

687
00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:24.079
thing he does know also is that
everything he's got left in him he is

688
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:30.079
bringing to revolution and it's going to
meet the Bucks face to face. He

689
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:36.239
says, they have a fight on
their hands, the fight of their lives.

690
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:43.960
This is a great segment and also
condolences to Sting. Obviously, that

691
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:46.960
is very shitty news and shitty timing
too, because he's got his final match

692
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:52.079
coming up, and I'm sure he
would have wanted his I don't know if

693
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:53.480
his mother is still alive, but
he would have wanted his father, I'm

694
00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:58.039
sure to if not be there to
see his final match, and now he

695
00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:04.360
won't be able to. But that's
very sad. But he showed some great

696
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:07.840
intensity here and fire, but again
in a way that's different. When I

697
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:14.039
say somebody shows fire and intensity in
a promo, he thinks Samoa Joe going

698
00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:17.800
out there and looking into the camera
and screaming and just you know, putting

699
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:21.880
people in their place. This was
different though. This was a different type

700
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:27.880
of intensity, and it's hard.
It can be hard to emote in a

701
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:31.480
mask or with face paint on.
I couldn't tell if he was tearing up

702
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:37.119
or crying or not. But just
looking dead into the camera and as serious

703
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:42.639
as could be, delivering a stern
message to the young bucks, basically saying

704
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:45.039
that, you know, in so
many words, like I'm going to kill

705
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:50.639
you revolution. That's what I read
from the look on this man's face.

706
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:54.519
And that's exactly what this should have
been when you considered the attack two weeks

707
00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:58.920
ago. He beat up Stinging Darby, but these two bozos beat up the

708
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:02.239
man's kids, So Sting should be
upset. And Sting doesn't have to come

709
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.639
on here and scream and shout.
All he needs to do is come on

710
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:12.119
here and do exactly what he did
and say, look, I've been through

711
00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:15.440
a lot of personal shit recently.
What you did is something that nobody has

712
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:19.400
ever done to me in my entire
career. And so I make this vow,

713
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:23.199
I make this promise to you that
I'm coming for you and it's going

714
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:28.559
to be the fight of your life. Perfect all this needed to be.

715
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:31.320
And I am actually very much looking
forward to this match. I'm a little

716
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:36.519
worried because I don't know what Sting
is going to do. We've seen some

717
00:52:36.639 --> 00:52:40.159
things that Sting has done in matches
before. He usually makes it out not

718
00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:44.920
all the time, he usually makes
it out unscathed. The last time when

719
00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:49.000
he jumped off that ladder and he
undershot the table was ridiculous and I think

720
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:52.000
he knocked out some of his teeth. But whatever he's got planned, this

721
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:54.679
is it for him, and I
truly believe that. I know we kind

722
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:59.800
of make fun of wrestling retirements sometimes
like it's the end for now and then

723
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:02.519
be back. No, I trust
that this is it and he realizes it.

724
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:07.079
So there's no telling what he's going
to do in his final match,

725
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.559
but I am very much looking forward
to it, and again, make no

726
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:14.599
mistake about it, that is your
main event. I was wondering a few

727
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:17.800
weeks ago if they would close with
that, but there's no doubt that they're

728
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:21.000
going to close with that match,
and it is. It's the right main

729
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:22.760
event for that show. And frankly, it's another reason why I'm not expecting

730
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:27.360
a world title change on the show. I don't think there should be one,

731
00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:30.280
but if there was going to be, how do you not close the

732
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:31.559
show with that? If you're going
to change the world title, it just

733
00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:36.639
doesn't make sense. So the timing
for that doesn't even it doesn't even fit

734
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.719
after a break Tony Shavani was back
in the ring. And now we go

735
00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:45.079
from that great promo to another great
promo. And it's almost like the tale

736
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:49.920
of two promos, because I just
got done talking about Sting being very subdued,

737
00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:57.079
a subdued intensity from Sting. This
was not a subdued promo from wardlow

738
00:53:57.440 --> 00:54:00.559
Wardlow was his guest. He came
out by himself, well no other members

739
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:05.400
of the Undisputed Kingdom. He immediately
got in the ring, grabbed the mic

740
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:07.639
and told Tony that he needs to
get his old ass out of there if

741
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:13.440
he doesn't want to get knocked down
again. He said that he was pissed,

742
00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:16.199
and you could tell because he was
pacing back and forth and he was

743
00:54:16.760 --> 00:54:22.960
very angry about something. He said. He was pissed because two years ago

744
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:29.280
he had thousands upon thousands of people
chanting his name city after city in a

745
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:34.800
manner that hasn't been heard or seen
in decades. He was the next big

746
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:38.480
thing. They strapped the rocket to
his back, but apparently they strapped the

747
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:43.199
rocket to his back upside down,
which I actually thought that was a funny

748
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:46.400
line because that is kind of what
they did. They strapped the rocket upside

749
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:52.159
down. Instead of going up,
it sent him the other way. Ever

750
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:55.679
since, he's been driven into the
ground and screwed over and over and over

751
00:54:55.760 --> 00:55:01.079
again. You would think the one
true homegrown a megastar would have been champion

752
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:07.000
a long time ago, and yet
he's never received an opportunity for the heavyweight

753
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:14.280
title. And people back there need
to be fired and jailed for that fact.

754
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:19.719
There might be some people in WWE
who need to be fired and jailed,

755
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:22.440
although for very different reasons. But
I stopped myself here and I said,

756
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:25.320
wait a minute, wit a minute, Hold on a second. It

757
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:30.880
is true that Wardlow has never gotten
an aw World championship. Correct me if

758
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:36.880
i'm roy it's been a few years. Was there not after CM Punk?

759
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:44.360
I believe it was after CM punk
wrecked his foot, and maybe it was

760
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:45.599
the second time he got hurt.
I don't know. But there was a

761
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:51.800
situation where there was a Battle Royal
and the winners or the final two,

762
00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:53.960
and the Battle Royal went on to
have a singles match I think to crown

763
00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:58.679
a number one contender for the interim
title. It was some hodgepodge like that,

764
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:02.400
And if I remember, I don't
think Wardlow either was in the match.

765
00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:08.159
Or maybe there was a promo where
he said he didn't want to get

766
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:13.119
a shot that way, or that's
not the real time or something like that.

767
00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:16.559
I just remember vaguely, like,
why would Wardlow at that time and

768
00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:21.840
that situation not want to be part
of something like that. It didn't make

769
00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:23.679
any sense to me. So I
was thinking to myself here, Yeah,

770
00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:28.360
but you may have passed on an
opportunity once before, but it is true

771
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:30.119
he has never had the chance to
compete for a world title in adem.

772
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:35.000
He said. There's been a lot
of met arounds here, he refused.

773
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:37.079
Okay, see I knew I wasn't
crazy, he refused, That's what happened

774
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:40.920
on TV, he refuse. He
turned down the tournament. So I don't

775
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:45.679
want to hear this nonsense about how
I've never gotten an opportunity. You fucking

776
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:49.519
idiot. You turned down an opportunity. I remember it now. It's right.

777
00:56:49.559 --> 00:56:53.199
We ranted about that at the time. How stupid it was he shot

778
00:56:53.239 --> 00:56:58.320
it down. You have nobody to
blame but yourself. Don't think we didn't

779
00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:00.320
forget about that. I mean I
kind of forgot a little bit, but

780
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.440
he reminded me. So thank you. He said, there's been a lot

781
00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:08.119
of men around here claiming to be
the best. There's kings, there's gods.

782
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:13.760
So what does that make him?
Because the best in the world,

783
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:19.679
the real world heavyweight champion, I
beat his ass like nobody has in his

784
00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:22.920
entire career. He said, his
body is still falling apart from me,

785
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:30.000
which brings me to our former champion, the guy who's better than you and

786
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:34.320
you know it. I squashed him
like an insect, and I beat him

787
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:39.119
like nobody ever has in his entire
career, which brings me to the most

788
00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:44.920
dangerous man in the room, the
King, the current aw world champion,

789
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:49.360
Samoa Joe. Can somebody remind me
what happened when him and I were in

790
00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:52.480
the ring? That's right, I
choked his ass out and I beat him

791
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:57.400
too. Oh and by the way, he says, big shiny titles and

792
00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:00.800
custom suits look a hell of a
lot better on me. So again I

793
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:07.079
ask, and again I'm not going
to replicate the screaming that he was them.

794
00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:13.280
He was loud and angry as he
was running through this promo, a

795
00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:17.199
lot angrier than I sound right now. So again I ask, what does

796
00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:21.760
that make me? Because it sounds
like I'm the best in the world.

797
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:25.320
It sounds like I'm better than you, and you know it. It sounds

798
00:58:25.400 --> 00:58:31.920
like I'm the most dangerous man in
the room. I am the uncrowned aw

799
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:37.599
king and it's time that I start
eating like one because I have been starving

800
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:43.760
and I am done being fed scraps. He said, look at me,

801
00:58:44.280 --> 00:58:49.599
Look at me, and he pointed
up to the tron, and they showed

802
00:58:49.679 --> 00:58:52.840
him and he was looking and admiring
himself. He's looking at himself. He

803
00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:55.800
says, I'm the baddest son of
a bitch to lace up a pair of

804
00:58:55.840 --> 00:59:00.920
boots. There is no one that
can stop me. If anybody wants to

805
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:06.119
get in my way, just know
this is no longer wrestling. This is

806
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:12.320
war. Holy shit, where has
that guy been? Where's that wardlow bit?

807
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:15.960
This is the guy that I've been
waiting for for a while. That

808
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:22.559
was the best promo I've ever seen
him cut. And I love that they

809
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:25.639
had him rightfully call attention to the
shit booking that he has had to deal

810
00:59:25.679 --> 00:59:30.360
with for the past two years.
I like the fact that they're at least

811
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:34.360
acknowledging it, because everybody else is
already acknowledging it. May you can't ignore

812
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:37.280
it. You may as well embrace
it and use it as part of his

813
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:42.360
stories, part of his character arc. Why wouldn't Wardlow be pissed off and

814
00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:45.679
upset about the way that he has
been treated in aw over the last two

815
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:52.239
years. He has every right to
feel that way, and we've seen it.

816
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:55.639
We watched when he hit the peak
of his popularity. It was the

817
00:59:55.760 --> 01:00:01.079
night that he powerbombed MJF ten fucking
times and double or nothing, and he

818
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:05.199
beat the piss out of that guy. He went out, remember the upside

819
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:07.199
down oxygen mask. They had to
carry him out right. That was the

820
01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:10.360
peak for Wardlow. And at that
point it's like a fork in the road,

821
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:15.039
you're gonna go left, you're gonna
go right. He didn't go left,

822
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:19.480
he didn't go right. He dug
a hole and he jumped inside and

823
01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:22.440
he's been buried ever since that.
There have been things that have happened.

824
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:27.400
I remember at one point they had
their international tour and they went to Canada

825
01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:30.079
last year. He couldn't go,
I think because his car was broken into

826
01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:35.000
at one point, and his passport
was stolen, and there was an injury

827
01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:37.559
at one point. So it's been
a combination of bad booking and bad luck.

828
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:42.920
But the last two years for this
man has been absolute dog shit,

829
01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:49.079
and he was getting genuine reactions from
the crowd, like big star reactions from

830
01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:52.800
people who liked this guy and wanted
to get behind him, and they could

831
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:54.639
have done something with him, and
they did nothing with him. He had

832
01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:59.360
the TNT title. I think he
had it three times. I can't remember

833
01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:02.199
anything memory about any of the times
he had the TNT title. It's all

834
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:08.480
just a blur. The fact that
Tony Kahn squandered something that he organically had

835
01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:14.800
in this man is one of his
greatest booking failures in the last five years

836
01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:19.639
of aw Wardlow is right there at
the top of the list. So he

837
01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:22.719
should come out here and he should
be pissed off now. He talked about

838
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:28.000
beating these men. He never beat
cmpunk. Cmpunk and Wardlow never had a

839
01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:30.320
match where Wardlow pinned him or beat
him that he did. I think beat

840
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:34.440
up cm punk. I think it
was during the feud with MJF. He

841
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:37.199
probably power bombed him. That's what
he was referring to. So you know,

842
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:43.320
technically, I don't think he actually
beat cmpunk, But the MJF thing

843
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:45.960
is just ridiculous. And if you
think back to what happened that weekend.

844
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:50.320
Again, it was all about MJF
because he no showed an appearance and then

845
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:54.440
there was a lot of talk about
his contract status, and unfortunately all of

846
01:01:54.480 --> 01:02:01.639
that ended up completely overshadowing Wardlow.
MJF showed up on television that Wednesday like

847
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:07.159
nothing ever happened. The guy got
power bomb ten times and needed oxygen and

848
01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:12.079
he showed up on dynamite, not
a stitch, not a bruise. He

849
01:02:12.199 --> 01:02:15.800
cut that promo. He called Tony
Khanna fucking Mark. Everybody was talking about

850
01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:21.159
him in that promo. Nobody was
talking about Wardlow, and he never recovered

851
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:23.599
from it. And I'm not putting
all the blame on MJF for that,

852
01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:28.880
because Tony Khan is as responsible,
if not more, for not following up.

853
01:02:28.880 --> 01:02:31.280
But he was never the same.
I mean, you could draw a

854
01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:37.199
straight line to that double or nothing
pay per view in twenty twenty two,

855
01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:40.679
I guess it would have been and
it's just been downhill ever since. So

856
01:02:40.920 --> 01:02:44.800
this is the intensity and this is
the promo. I've been waiting for this

857
01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:46.719
guy to cut. He came back, and what has he been doing.

858
01:02:46.760 --> 01:02:50.320
He's been doing the same thing he
did at the beginning of his career.

859
01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:52.239
He comes out, he powerbombs guys, and he leaves. I've been waiting

860
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:57.760
for him to get on the mic
and say what he said here. So

861
01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:00.159
I thought this was great. And
now the question, of course, is

862
01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:04.760
what's next for Wardlow. That's a
great promo, But how are you gonna

863
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:07.440
follow up on this? It's not
like he's getting a world championship match of

864
01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:13.480
Revolution. So what are they gonna
do if Samoa Joe retains a revolution?

865
01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:17.519
You can do Samoajoe against Wardlow,
two heels against each other for the world

866
01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:22.000
title, a double or nothing.
I don't think so. Now instead of

867
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:25.760
Revolution, they're doing what they I
think ex Caliber on commentary said is something

868
01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:30.599
called meet madness, and they laughed
because they had no idea what that meant.

869
01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:36.199
But I assume he'll be in there
with somebody like Miro or Hobbs or

870
01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:38.800
some big guys. Meet madness is
what we're gonna get with him at Revolution.

871
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:44.679
I don't care about meat madness so
much. I care about what happens

872
01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:47.480
after meat Madness. How are they
gonna follow up on this promo? How

873
01:03:47.519 --> 01:03:52.760
are they gonna keep this guy hot
as an attraction? And as a possible

874
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:55.519
number one contender, especially if he's
not getting a shot for a while.

875
01:03:57.400 --> 01:04:00.079
You know what do they have lined
up for him? Going fok? He

876
01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:01.840
is still a heel. He is
still part of the Undisputed Kingdom, even

877
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:05.960
though he was out there by himself
tonight. But it goes back to what

878
01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:10.599
Adam Cole said when he first cut
that promo and they had their mission statement

879
01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:13.960
right, he said, the Kingdom
have the Ring of Honor world tag team

880
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:17.079
titles. Wardlow is gonna win the
World Championship and then he's gonna hand it

881
01:04:17.079 --> 01:04:21.960
to me. Remember that was the
story. Wardlow goes after the world title

882
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:27.679
and when he wins it, he
gives it to me. Remember Wardlow's reaction

883
01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:30.239
at that time, it was like, yeah, okay, they planted that

884
01:04:30.360 --> 01:04:33.960
seed. The only question is when
does he go after that world time?

885
01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:42.400
Now Swerve wor to win the title
at Revolution, they could set up Swerve

886
01:04:42.559 --> 01:04:45.119
and Wardlow for double or nothing.
I just don't see that title changing hands

887
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:47.760
yet, and I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't take it off Joe.

888
01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:51.639
So as long as you have a
heeled Samoa Joe as the world champion,

889
01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:57.360
you gotta still keep Wardlow out of
the picture until you get that belt back

890
01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:03.199
on a babyface. But this was
great, This was long overdue. Rene

891
01:05:03.280 --> 01:05:10.440
was backstage again and this time she
was with the Don Callus family. You

892
01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:16.400
know Skate Takeshta Powerhouse, Hobbes.
Callous talked about Takeshta facing Will Osprey is

893
01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:20.679
coming up at Revolution, said that
they would both be part of the Callus

894
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:25.880
family when it was over. Callus
said that even Tony Khan was there to

895
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:30.360
watch Osprey over the weekend at the
Rev Pro show. He said everyone thought

896
01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:33.519
Osprey would fly back to the United
States with Tony, but the Callus family

897
01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:36.320
will pick him up in the UK
and bring him back for the match.

898
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:42.360
And Callus spoke about Hobbes briefly,
and then he called Sammy Gavara a little

899
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:46.880
cuck and that got a rise out
of everybody in the live crowd. Callus

900
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:49.760
said they had a score to settle
and he would be keeping an eye on

901
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:56.079
Gavar. That led us to our
main event of the night. Samoa Joe

902
01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:01.360
Swerve Strickland opponents of Revolution tag team
partners to and can they coexist? Teaming

903
01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:05.239
up with Brian Cage the Mogul Embassy
taking on Hangman, Page, Hook,

904
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:13.599
and the returning Rob Van Dam.
Kind of a weird collection of people here

905
01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:16.719
thrown into this match. I was
waiting to see what they would do.

906
01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:23.320
Hook wanted to start out with Samoa
Joe, and so they did, and

907
01:06:23.400 --> 01:06:27.880
Joe slammed Hook down multiple times.
Hook switched to body shots and a flying

908
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:31.480
clothesline that took Joe down. Joe
was able to turn the tables on him

909
01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:35.679
tagged in Brian Cage, Hook was
able to escape and made a tag to

910
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:42.840
RVD, and he had a little
back and forth with Brian Cage. After

911
01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:47.119
a series of switches, Page made
the blind tag and he came face to

912
01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:54.119
face with Swerve. After RVD sidestepped
a flatliner attempt after a commercial break,

913
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:58.719
it was Hook being held up in
a delayed vertical supplex by Brian Cage for

914
01:06:58.800 --> 01:07:02.039
a two cop. Cage wanted a
death Valley driver, but Hook countered enough

915
01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:09.079
into a DDT, which led to
a hot tag from RVD that pissed off

916
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:14.119
Hangman that he didn't get the tag. RBD ran wild hit rolling thunder on

917
01:07:14.280 --> 01:07:16.599
Swerve in a five star frog splash
on Brian Cage for a two count.

918
01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:23.480
Joe argued with the referee Rbrey Edwards
as Swerve blindsided Hangman on the apron with

919
01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:28.280
a running boot. We got some
quick tags from Team Joe that took us

920
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:32.840
into the second commercial break here of
this match. RVD was isolated the entire

921
01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:36.800
commercial break before Joe missed the charge
and RBD hit a spin kick into the

922
01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:43.519
double down Page and Cage. They
made the double tag and Page sprinted right

923
01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:48.079
at Swerve trying to get his revenge
before dropping Brian Cage with a Hurrican Rana

924
01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:54.719
swerve sidesteff the slingshot died. Page
though hit a pump kick to counter a

925
01:07:54.920 --> 01:08:00.199
rolling flatliner by Swerve. Back inside, Hangman dropped Brian Cage with a death

926
01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:04.719
valley driver and Samoa Joe was there
to clabber him with a running boot,

927
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:10.519
so things broke down. Everybody was
hitting big moves at this point, and

928
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:15.320
there was a moment here where Hangman
Page had the chance to end the match.

929
01:08:15.360 --> 01:08:19.920
He had the chance to go and
hit the buckshot to Brian Cage,

930
01:08:20.199 --> 01:08:25.520
or he could hit the Orihara moonsalt
on swerve, and he chose swerve,

931
01:08:26.079 --> 01:08:29.920
so he went up top. Cage
cut him off though before he could hit

932
01:08:29.920 --> 01:08:33.159
the move and Hook was there.
We ended up getting a tower of doom

933
01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:36.960
spot with Hangman on the worst end
of it. He got sup flexed over

934
01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:41.800
Hook sank in red rum on Brian
Cage, who made a blind tag to

935
01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:47.159
Joe Hook Ate a pop up power
bomb from Cage and a house call kick

936
01:08:47.239 --> 01:08:54.319
from Swerve. Hangman flew in with
a Buckshot lariat to Brian Cage, so

937
01:08:54.520 --> 01:09:00.920
Joe, Swerve and Hangman were left
alone in the ring. Swerve and Joe

938
01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:03.159
took out Hangman, who rolled to
the floor. Joe hit a tope.

939
01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:09.119
Swerve went for a pump kick off
the apron, but he missed Hangman.

940
01:09:09.199 --> 01:09:14.840
He took out Joe by accident,
and Hangman grabbed Swerve and he power bombed

941
01:09:14.920 --> 01:09:19.279
him off the apron through the announced
table and the table shattered upon impact.

942
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:25.199
Joe ducked the Buckshot back inside and
he hit a snap power slam for two.

943
01:09:26.079 --> 01:09:30.159
RVD took out Brian Cage with a
slingshot Splash made the tag. Joe

944
01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:35.479
was waiting but did not see Hook
waiting and he ate an exploder. RBD

945
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:40.239
went up top for the five star
frog splash. Brian Cage shoved him off

946
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:45.359
and wiped out Hook with the discus
lariat, Joe sank on the the Coqina

947
01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:51.199
clutch, RVD faded and passed out, so RBD eat the losing fall here.

948
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:55.039
No surprise there, but there was
a spot here where Joe went for

949
01:09:55.319 --> 01:10:00.680
the musclebuster to Hangman page and Hangman
slipped out of it. So Joe didn't

950
01:10:00.680 --> 01:10:03.920
do anything. Hangman slipped out when
he landed on his feet, though it

951
01:10:03.920 --> 01:10:08.880
looked like he tweaked his ankle and
he stumbled forward, and that's when he

952
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:12.319
made the tag to UH. I
guess it would have been RVD. So

953
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:15.960
Hangman was a non factor for the
remaining minute or so of the match.

954
01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:20.079
He went out to the floor.
Joe's holding up the aw world title in

955
01:10:20.119 --> 01:10:24.920
the ring and celebrating. Swerve is
on the outside. He's smarting. He's

956
01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:30.119
staring up at Joe. He doesn't
look very happy. Meanwhile, I'm looking

957
01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:33.319
if you look at the hard camera
view, I'm looking directly ahead to see

958
01:10:33.399 --> 01:10:36.319
on the other side of the ring
outside if there are people around Hangman,

959
01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:41.720
and there's nobody around Hangman. But
the cameraman goes over to Hangman and he's

960
01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:45.359
got the camera on him. So
I'm waiting for them to switch the camera

961
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.880
shot, and they do. When
they put the camera on Hangman, Hangman

962
01:10:49.279 --> 01:10:55.000
is clutching his ankle and he's looking
up at the cameraman, maybe not realizing

963
01:10:55.039 --> 01:11:00.119
he's on TV yet, and he
is waving him off, and he's waving

964
01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:01.720
the guy off and he's telling him
stop, stop, don't shoot me.

965
01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:09.119
Don't shoot me, like like the
cops of Theirs or something. That's not

966
01:11:09.239 --> 01:11:12.560
good. It didn't look good when
he landed on his feet and he fell

967
01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:15.520
forward. It looked like he may
have tweaked his ankle or he tweaked his

968
01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:17.680
knee. The fact that he was
waving off the cameraman, don't shoot me.

969
01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:25.479
He's clutching the ankle. I'm hoping
that he just maybe rolled it sprained

970
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:28.560
it. And look, you could
have a really bad sprain too. I

971
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:31.359
don't want to minimize an ankle sprain, because there is some serious ankle sprains

972
01:11:31.359 --> 01:11:35.520
that take a long time to recover. From my point is hopefully is nothing

973
01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:40.439
serious, because the timing could not
be any worse. If Hangman is hurt,

974
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:45.479
hurt enough that he can't work.
You know, he is one third

975
01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:47.239
of your world title match on the
pay per view, which is less than

976
01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:50.960
two weeks away, so the timing
would not be great. It is a

977
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:56.880
three way match, so if Hangman
were to go down, he could turn

978
01:11:56.920 --> 01:12:00.079
into a singles match with Joan Swerved. But again, the dynamic here is

979
01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:04.560
such that I was not expecting anybody
except Hangman to take the losing fall on

980
01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:09.039
that match, and so if you
take him out of the equation, and

981
01:12:09.079 --> 01:12:12.640
it really wouldn't make sense to put
anybody in his place. It's a world

982
01:12:12.680 --> 01:12:15.760
title match, You're not just gonna
put somebody in there. It presents an

983
01:12:15.800 --> 01:12:20.479
interesting conundrum for Tony Kahn because I
would not be beating Swerve, but I

984
01:12:20.479 --> 01:12:24.119
also don't think it's the right time
yet to put the title on Swerve.

985
01:12:25.359 --> 01:12:30.439
So it really spruce things up.
If I'm right and Hangman is in there

986
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:33.000
to take the losing fall, it
really potentially messes things up here. But

987
01:12:33.960 --> 01:12:40.479
that did not look good. Hangman, interestingly was still playing babyface for much

988
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.279
of the match, and the crowd
was mostly cheering for him. They were

989
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:46.600
not booing him, although that one
spot where he elected to try to hit

990
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:50.560
the moon Salt on Swerve instead of
getting the wind again, it just illustrates

991
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:56.039
how obsessed he is with getting revenge
on this man. So if he is

992
01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:58.920
going to go full heel, and
maybe he won't, but if he is,

993
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:03.039
I don't expect that transformation to happen
until revolution, and that's assuming he'll

994
01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:06.279
even be a revolution. But I
will say, you know, I was

995
01:13:06.319 --> 01:13:10.279
waiting to see what they would do
here in this match because the match when

996
01:13:10.279 --> 01:13:14.399
they announced that last week just felt
thrown together. And now having watched the

997
01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:16.920
match, I don't really see what
the point of this was other than just

998
01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:20.000
to put these guys in some kind
of match just to get them on TV.

999
01:13:21.680 --> 01:13:26.680
It didn't do anything to further my
excitement for that match. You know,

1000
01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:29.119
I was already looking forward to it. I think, you know,

1001
01:13:29.159 --> 01:13:31.239
it's going to be a very good
match. But I can't say that what

1002
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:35.600
they did here did anything for me. Didn't really serve much of a purpose

1003
01:13:35.720 --> 01:13:40.880
as far as furthering that story much. It was kind of more of the

1004
01:13:40.920 --> 01:13:45.039
same. We know Hangman is obsessed
with Swerve. I didn't need them to

1005
01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:48.079
do what they did here to tell
me that. So it was a fine

1006
01:13:48.119 --> 01:13:54.199
main event though otherwise, RVD Hook, Brian Cage, they were just background

1007
01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:58.560
players in the overall story. And
that's how dynam I went off the air.

1008
01:13:59.720 --> 01:14:01.159
It was it was a very up
and down show. I thought it

1009
01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:04.439
was a decent show. Again,
it was very promo heavy, but the

1010
01:14:04.479 --> 01:14:09.840
promo stuff on the show was very
good. It was very good, especially

1011
01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:14.079
the Sting stuff and the Wardlow stuff, more so than the Daniel Garcia one.

1012
01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:16.960
But I thought that that stuff was
the highlight of the show. The

1013
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:20.800
best match was the opening match with
FTR and the BCC. So it was

1014
01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:25.359
good. It was good, but
it was also one thing I didn't like

1015
01:14:25.399 --> 01:14:29.640
about it. And they've done a
good job of slowing things down a little

1016
01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:31.840
bit on most weeks because this show, I mean, it just had this

1017
01:14:31.920 --> 01:14:36.640
reputation for going one hundred miles an
hour, and they don't give you a

1018
01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:41.439
chance to just stop and really process
what you just saw. You know,

1019
01:14:41.479 --> 01:14:43.920
I'm looking at my notes as I'm
going along here and I'm like, wait

1020
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:45.800
a minute, I'm like two segments
behind, like what they're moving on to

1021
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:49.119
the next one already. You know, you go to Renee sixteen times in

1022
01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:51.680
the back and then you come back
and boom, boom boom, and they

1023
01:14:51.760 --> 01:14:55.479
just don't give things a chance to
breathe. And they had been doing a

1024
01:14:55.479 --> 01:14:59.039
better job of that recently, and
tonight it was right back to that just

1025
01:14:59.119 --> 01:15:03.640
frenetic pace that I don't like.
I just wish they would slow down and

1026
01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:08.159
maybe not try to fit so much
stuff into the show. And I didn't

1027
01:15:08.159 --> 01:15:11.479
even mention everything. I mean,
there was a segment that was very quick,

1028
01:15:11.520 --> 01:15:15.880
like a quick hit in the back
with the Bang Bang Scissor Gang to

1029
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:18.640
set up something for Rampage who gives
a shit? So there were a couple

1030
01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:24.359
of things I left out that just
weren't really worth mentioning here. But yeah,

1031
01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:28.680
just noticeable how much they try to
really squeeze in and they just go

1032
01:15:28.720 --> 01:15:30.600
boom, boom boom from one to
the other. Here. Well, let's

1033
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:32.920
check out the poll now, if
you didn't see the RAAR review I did

1034
01:15:32.920 --> 01:15:35.560
on Monday night, I'm doing the
polls a little bit differently, at least

1035
01:15:35.560 --> 01:15:40.560
for the weekly shows. I might
do thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs

1036
01:15:40.600 --> 01:15:44.000
in the middle for the pay per
views, but I'm doing a star rating

1037
01:15:44.039 --> 01:15:46.520
system now. I only have four
options on Twitter, so I can't go

1038
01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:50.319
five stars. It's four stars,
three stars, two stars, one star.

1039
01:15:51.239 --> 01:15:57.039
I did that for Raw and Rostell
did a pretty good score. Let's

1040
01:15:57.039 --> 01:16:02.600
see how Dynamite, did tonight not
nearly good? Wow? Twenty eight percent

1041
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:05.399
of you gave tonight's show for so
well, this was not a four star

1042
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:11.399
show. I agree with the thirty
five percent that gave it three stars.

1043
01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:17.880
I think that's fair. Seventeen point
eight percent two stars and eighteen point eight

1044
01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:25.960
percent one star. That is with
over one thousand votes in so far at

1045
01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:30.960
Sola Monster. Let me know how
many stars do you give? Give Dynamite

1046
01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:36.399
all the stars or no stars?
You let me know. We're gonna go

1047
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:40.760
this so we're gonna do our own
little star ratings from now on, change

1048
01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:44.079
things up. It was something that
someone suggested and I thought that was an

1049
01:16:44.119 --> 01:16:46.960
interesting idea, so that is what
we are going to do. It was

1050
01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:53.119
a very story driven episode to that, but not everything hit the way that

1051
01:16:54.640 --> 01:17:00.560
they probably hoped that it would.
Right here with orhon and by the way,

1052
01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:04.279
the the gold tonight was four hundred
likes. Do hit that thumbs up

1053
01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:09.079
if you have not done so,
we are currently sitting at three sixty ish,

1054
01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:14.399
so we got a waste to go
there. Orhan says, uh,

1055
01:17:14.600 --> 01:17:21.880
buy or sell eight to ten,
eight to ten, it's my dumbass,

1056
01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:30.039
my mistake, buy or sell eight
to ten Orton or Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.

1057
01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:34.600
I mean, I look, I
love the the Orton characters stuff that

1058
01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:40.199
he was doing in nine, not
so much the WrestleMania match that he had

1059
01:17:40.239 --> 01:17:46.479
with Triple eight. I don't know. It's tough because Orton was full time

1060
01:17:46.520 --> 01:17:50.920
at that time and we don't get
to see Roman very much. I was

1061
01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:57.479
enjoying Roman's stuff more than I am
now until it just started to get a

1062
01:17:57.520 --> 01:18:00.880
little long in the tooth. But
I know they're both great. You know,

1063
01:18:00.920 --> 01:18:04.159
they're both great characters. I think
if I had to choose, though,

1064
01:18:04.159 --> 01:18:09.479
between the two of them, I
would go at Roman, but Randy

1065
01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:12.880
was doing some pretty good work during
that period. I'd go at Roman Reigns

1066
01:18:13.439 --> 01:18:20.319
myself. Noel Mulligan says, all
right, boy, Solomonster. That's quirk

1067
01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:28.239
slang for hello Hello. What was
your first wrestling event? Mine was Dublin

1068
01:18:29.079 --> 01:18:34.479
nineteen ninety five, the best year. My first wrestling event was Madison Square

1069
01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:41.600
Garden the day after Christmas nineteen eighty
seven. That was my first live event.

1070
01:18:43.680 --> 01:18:47.199
Bender mc simpson. On Monday,
someone asked who swings a chair harder

1071
01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:53.279
than the rock balls Mahoney in ECW
swung the hardest chair shots I have ever

1072
01:18:53.359 --> 01:19:00.720
seen. Well, you were probably
watching more balls at the time that I

1073
01:19:00.920 --> 01:19:06.600
was, so I probably didn't see
a lot of Balls's. I probably didn't

1074
01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:11.199
see a lot of Mahoney's work from
that period. I've seen obviously some of

1075
01:19:11.199 --> 01:19:15.239
his stuff, but I wasn't like
a huge ECW guy, So you're probably

1076
01:19:15.279 --> 01:19:19.720
right, But I still say the
rock is somewhat The rock was an absolute

1077
01:19:19.760 --> 01:19:25.680
menace with that chair. Barry says
aw was about to put out four new

1078
01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:30.439
songs based off eras of Sting will
be on YouTube an hour after I send

1079
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:34.880
this super chat. Well, then
by now they should probably be up right,

1080
01:19:35.399 --> 01:19:39.760
that was fifty seven minutes ago,
so it should be going up four

1081
01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:44.199
new songs based on the eras of
Sting. I mean, they don't have

1082
01:19:44.279 --> 01:19:45.840
the rights to the best song of
all, So I mean, if you're

1083
01:19:45.840 --> 01:19:49.760
not going to have man called Sting, what are we even doing here?

1084
01:19:54.560 --> 01:19:58.479
He does this, he does that. I mean, the lyrics are just

1085
01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:04.720
legendary. The real CS says,
in my opinion, these constant time limit

1086
01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:09.479
draws, which starting to get far
more annoying than the cheap DQ finishes.

1087
01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:15.439
It's getting repetitive. Well, we've
only had two of them recently, but

1088
01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:17.920
my point still stands. I agree
in that you don't want to overdo it.

1089
01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:23.199
So if we get another one in
the next few weeks, I'll start

1090
01:20:23.239 --> 01:20:27.600
worrying at that point because then they're
just going to run it into the ground.

1091
01:20:28.199 --> 01:20:32.399
I don't mind it yet, but
you can have too much of a

1092
01:20:32.399 --> 01:20:40.560
good thing. Barry just saw from
Wrestle ops on Twitter that a taped episode

1093
01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:45.560
of Collision will go head to head
with Night one of Wrestle Maybe good luck

1094
01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:49.680
with that. Good luck? Well, look, I mean, they don't

1095
01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:56.600
make those decisions. It's a network
thing, so you know it's probably out

1096
01:20:56.640 --> 01:21:00.640
of their hands, but obviously they're
gonna have their work out for them that

1097
01:21:00.760 --> 01:21:04.279
night. Food Hive with the nineteen
ninety nine good to Hear from food Hie

1098
01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:10.359
Long Time. The restaurant I am
a chef at was visited by TikTok food

1099
01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:14.720
critic Keith Lee when he visited Dallas, and I'm in the video. I'm

1100
01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:18.960
the one with a beard and a
hat, spoken like a true wrestling thing.

1101
01:21:20.399 --> 01:21:24.560
Brunch of Halics is the restaurant.
We've been busy as fuck. Thank

1102
01:21:24.600 --> 01:21:30.199
god. Well that's awesome. Congratulations
Is the video up? I assume the

1103
01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:33.520
video must be up. Now send
me a link. Send me a link,

1104
01:21:33.520 --> 01:21:35.560
and I'll look for the guy in
the beard and the hat. I

1105
01:21:35.600 --> 01:21:45.760
want to see this brunch of halicks. That's very cool. Libido Bell has

1106
01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:53.279
been fined by Brian Danielson. Actually
no, that's hbk C eighty three was

1107
01:21:53.920 --> 01:22:00.520
fined by Brian Danigelson. This super
chat is sponsored by the energy drink Solo

1108
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:06.920
Monster Surge. Flavors include Gunthar,
grape Breeberry, Popstar popsicle, and Blisspan

1109
01:22:08.039 --> 01:22:12.079
Banana. Oh, blissban definitely banana. You got that one right, hey,

1110
01:22:12.119 --> 01:22:15.760
Libido Bell, Thank you, Mancy. Those flavors, those flavors would

1111
01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:20.720
sell. I think we may be
onto something. I think we may be

1112
01:22:20.840 --> 01:22:27.159
onto something here. You got Lady
Fire Panda Lemon, right, we can

1113
01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:33.039
come up with some other ones or
han. Why did Triple H beat CM

1114
01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:42.239
punk in twenty eleven, who then
lost two more paper beats? What are

1115
01:22:42.279 --> 01:22:46.319
you asking me for? I didn't
book that shit. I talked about it,

1116
01:22:46.399 --> 01:22:49.199
I ranted about it at the time. There's still no good reason for

1117
01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:57.239
it. There's still no good reason
for it. Chris Manson with the ten

1118
01:22:57.279 --> 01:23:02.560
dollars super Chat says, honestly,
what do you do with Warden? Swerve

1119
01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:06.800
has to be the next champion,
then after Swerve maybe Osprey, so possibly

1120
01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:11.359
Wardlow can take it from Osprey.
But that seems like early next year at

1121
01:23:11.399 --> 01:23:15.640
best. Now, I mean you
could have if Swerve gets it next maybe

1122
01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:19.279
Wardlow beats him for it, and
then Osprey could beat Wardlow. What you

1123
01:23:19.319 --> 01:23:25.399
don't have to put the belt on
Osprey so soon. There's no need to

1124
01:23:25.760 --> 01:23:28.800
rush the belt onto him. Like
Tony Kahan. He got his guy,

1125
01:23:28.960 --> 01:23:32.399
and I'm sure he's got him locked
in for a few years. Like Ospray

1126
01:23:32.439 --> 01:23:34.600
will get the belt at some point, but you don't have to rush it

1127
01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:43.199
onto him. Hbk C eighty three
is Christian undoubtedly the greatest TNT champion of

1128
01:23:43.239 --> 01:23:50.600
all time. He is in my
book. He is in my book Wapatappa.

1129
01:23:50.920 --> 01:23:54.159
I should damn, I should have
listened to you, so I should

1130
01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:58.199
always listen to me. I'm looking
out for you, guys. I don't

1131
01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:03.680
steer you guys in the wrong direction. You should always look out for good

1132
01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:10.520
advice that I'm trying to give you, good life advice. Should always listen

1133
01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:15.720
to me, I have your best
interest in mine, Isaac. Have you

1134
01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:23.760
seen open AI's text video model Sora. Everything that you just said to me

1135
01:24:23.800 --> 01:24:28.039
in that super chat is a foreign
language. I have no idea what you're

1136
01:24:28.079 --> 01:24:38.640
talking. So the answer is no, I have not. And Marios rumileotis

1137
01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:45.199
dropping ninety nine cents. Marios,
thank you very much. I think that

1138
01:24:45.279 --> 01:24:47.520
might have been his. Was that
his first one? That was third?

1139
01:24:47.800 --> 01:24:57.520
His third super chat ever? Thank
you, Marios, much appreciated. Let's

1140
01:24:57.520 --> 01:25:00.960
see where we are on the goal
right now. We are at four three.

1141
01:25:01.399 --> 01:25:03.560
Boy, just getting in there at
the last second, aren't you,

1142
01:25:03.600 --> 01:25:09.920
guys? Huh, just getting in
there at the last second. I see

1143
01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:14.239
you, guys. All right,
let's be the booker, ladies and gentlemen.

1144
01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:19.439
It is now time to be the
booker. Hey, Dara, I

1145
01:25:19.479 --> 01:25:23.479
think Dara's right. I think that
super chat may have been written by Ai.

1146
01:25:26.520 --> 01:25:31.960
You never know these days, You
just never know these days. All

1147
01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:38.960
right, be the booker. Time. Let's do it. Let's kick things

1148
01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:43.119
off tag team style. That's the
way we do things around here. This

1149
01:25:43.279 --> 01:25:46.560
is it, this is how we
do it. And we are going to

1150
01:25:46.600 --> 01:25:56.199
begin here with the former former tag
team champions undisputed tag team champions Cody Rhodes

1151
01:25:57.279 --> 01:26:03.600
and his oose j So. Main
event jay Usso. Here we go.

1152
01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:13.800
I like the way we're kicking this
off. Cody Rhodes and jay Usso gonna

1153
01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:20.960
be taken on Damian Priest and Finn
Balor of the judgment day. I feel

1154
01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:25.479
like that's wasn't that the match?
Isn't that the match that we saw?

1155
01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:30.960
Or I guess the judgment they beat
them to get the belts be the booker

1156
01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:35.920
is very in tune with w W
booking to give us Cody and j Usso

1157
01:26:36.000 --> 01:26:44.119
against Finn Valor and Damian Priest.
It's a very appropriate match. All right,

1158
01:26:44.159 --> 01:26:51.000
women's beat the booker. Time.
Let's see here. We begin with

1159
01:26:51.199 --> 01:26:57.720
Trish Stratus WWE Hall of Famer Trish
Stratus, the lovely Trish Stratus, Lovely

1160
01:26:57.760 --> 01:27:02.720
as always, always good to see
Trish. Trish Stratta is gonna go one

1161
01:27:02.760 --> 01:27:16.640
on one with Bailey Bailey challenging for
the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania. That

1162
01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:19.159
never happened, did it? We
never did get Trish against Bailey. I

1163
01:27:19.159 --> 01:27:24.720
don't believe we did. I don't
think so. I think we only got

1164
01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:27.880
it. Maybe in tag team for
him, but never in a singles form.

1165
01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:31.680
Okay, so what is that?
That's two for two? Right?

1166
01:27:31.720 --> 01:27:34.920
We had a clean sweep on Monday, didn't We didn't we? I'm keeping

1167
01:27:34.920 --> 01:27:38.560
my mouth shut. I'm not saying
anything. That's it. That's all I'm

1168
01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:41.880
gonna say. I'm not saying a
word. Let's see, let's see how

1169
01:27:41.880 --> 01:27:47.119
we do. Men's be the Booker. We begin with the man called Sting,

1170
01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:51.920
one of the many eras of Sting. This is the era of Sting

1171
01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:59.239
that I grew up on, Surfer
Sting, Surfer Sting with that hair and

1172
01:27:59.279 --> 01:28:01.119
that face paint. Look at the
who's interviewing him. Look who's there in

1173
01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:06.039
the corner, Tony Schavann, Your
little baby face, Tony Shavanni. He

1174
01:28:06.079 --> 01:28:13.439
doesn't look a day over twenty two. Very appropriate that we talked about Sting

1175
01:28:13.439 --> 01:28:15.319
on this show tonight, and Sting
is in Be the Booker, and now

1176
01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:20.399
we find out his real retirement match. Who is going to be his final

1177
01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:31.399
opponent? Sting one on one with
the man they call Vader, Yes,

1178
01:28:31.680 --> 01:28:39.640
sing Invader. One of my favorite
all time feuds from WCW, The White

1179
01:28:39.720 --> 01:28:44.439
Castle of Fear, Strap Match,
The King of Cable tournament final. These

1180
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:51.199
two men had three fantastic matches in
WCW nineteen ninety two Sting Invader, and

1181
01:28:51.199 --> 01:29:00.720
that means tonight we got ourselves the
clean sweet Sting Invader. I mean,

1182
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:03.840
what a fucking match, what a
main event. You can't get any better

1183
01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:08.600
than that. As far as like
a Sting opponent, Vader's got to be

1184
01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:11.720
his best opponent ever. Those two
those matches that they had. By the

1185
01:29:11.760 --> 01:29:14.520
way, if you are a newer
fan, or if you weren't watching WCW

1186
01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:17.800
at that time, if you got
a peacock subscription, just do yourself a

1187
01:29:17.800 --> 01:29:27.119
favor, go look those matches up. Those matches were fantastic. They had

1188
01:29:27.159 --> 01:29:34.239
some bangers, said the Juliet Yes
they were, Yes, they were agreed.

1189
01:29:39.159 --> 01:29:42.640
Vader has been on fire, has
been fire, and be the booker.

1190
01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:45.000
That's right, we did. What
was the other match that we did?

1191
01:29:45.239 --> 01:29:46.399
Vader was in the main event on
Monday? He was who was it

1192
01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:55.119
against? I forgot, I ever
forgot who it was against? Was it

1193
01:29:55.159 --> 01:30:00.399
Brock? Because Vader and Brock is
like it. That's that's like that would

1194
01:30:00.399 --> 01:30:08.479
have been the dream match right there. But who did Vader land on for

1195
01:30:08.520 --> 01:30:15.600
an opponent on Monday. Remind me
somebody you uh you do that? While

1196
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:19.239
I look up some of these other
super chats here Bender mc simpson, it

1197
01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:21.960
was Brock. Okay, so it
was Brock. Yeah, Oh my god,

1198
01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:28.199
Brock Invader's thing. Invader. We
need one more opponent now for Vader

1199
01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:34.359
on Friday. Vader against who on
Friday? Who should it be? Try

1200
01:30:34.399 --> 01:30:40.800
to think of who else's who else
is in there? Maybe Bobby Lashley,

1201
01:30:40.840 --> 01:30:45.199
Maybe, I don't know who would
be like to see Vader against and be

1202
01:30:45.279 --> 01:30:47.399
the booker on Friday. Well,
if we if we go three for three

1203
01:30:47.439 --> 01:30:53.520
on Friday, that's our first full, full week clean sweep, which we've

1204
01:30:53.560 --> 01:30:57.960
never done before. We came very
close last week and then I screwed it

1205
01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:01.479
all up. I'm not gonna I'm
not gonna say anything else because I end

1206
01:31:01.560 --> 01:31:05.640
up jinxing these things. Bender says, what do you think of having Okata

1207
01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:13.960
and Mercedes come in as a power
couple? Mercedes can do most of the

1208
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:21.000
talking, and they have money themes
a power couple. H I don't think

1209
01:31:21.039 --> 01:31:29.039
that's necessary. I don't know that
we we need them as a power couple

1210
01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:33.840
romantically or otherwise. I don't I
don't think we need to do that.

1211
01:31:34.920 --> 01:31:44.359
I don't think it's necessary. Zachariah
sitchen Osha Jackson Junior's comments about AEW is

1212
01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:46.800
valid. And also I knew Tony
Khan would flip out and call him out

1213
01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:50.279
with a tweet. For all that
is good and decent, someone take away

1214
01:31:50.319 --> 01:31:56.319
Tony Kahan's phone. He did make
some good points and I will talk more

1215
01:31:56.359 --> 01:32:02.359
about that probably on Sunday, as
I will what the Juliette mentioned here in

1216
01:32:02.399 --> 01:32:06.760
his super chat. Have I seen
seen his comments on Howard sterned by Vince

1217
01:32:06.840 --> 01:32:10.760
McMahon. Yes, you can go
on my Twitter to find out what I

1218
01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:14.800
thought about that, but I will
be talking about that more extensively on Sunday.

1219
01:32:14.840 --> 01:32:16.920
It's not something it's not appropriate for
me to get into it on the

1220
01:32:16.960 --> 01:32:21.199
Dynamite stream, but I did post
something on Twitter earlier today, so you

1221
01:32:21.239 --> 01:32:27.079
can go and check it out there. Friday night, here's the way things

1222
01:32:27.079 --> 01:32:30.520
are going to go down. Friday
night is a taped SmackDown, but I

1223
01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:33.439
am planning on going live when it's
over, so that'll be Friday night.

1224
01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:39.159
The plan for Elimination Chamber on Saturday. It's a five am Eastern start for

1225
01:32:39.199 --> 01:32:42.880
the pay per view I'm planning on
going live around noon. It'll be some

1226
01:32:42.920 --> 01:32:48.039
time between twelve and one during lunchtime
in the afternoon, so that'll give people

1227
01:32:48.079 --> 01:32:53.079
some time to watch the show wake
up. I think that's a better time

1228
01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:55.760
to do it, so that is
when I will be live. It'll be

1229
01:32:55.800 --> 01:33:01.479
a rare early afternoon scream on Saturday. Episode eight hundred and fifty of these

1230
01:33:01.479 --> 01:33:06.199
things it's dropping on Sunday, and
then of course live again for the raw

1231
01:33:06.239 --> 01:33:12.199
review on Monday night, so you
guys have a lot of content Thursday tomorrow

1232
01:33:12.359 --> 01:33:15.439
really is my only day off between
now and Monday, so you got plenty

1233
01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:19.319
of solemn, moster content coming your
way. Thank you for hanging out with

1234
01:33:19.319 --> 01:33:23.960
me here for the Dynamite stream.
I appreciate it. We'll come back and

1235
01:33:23.960 --> 01:33:26.760
do it again next Wednesday. Until
then, be well, stay safe.

1236
01:33:26.800 --> 01:33:29.800
I'm gonna go get some sleep and
I will see you back here for the

1237
01:33:29.840 --> 01:33:33.680
SmackDown stream on Friday night, an
elimination chamber on Saturday. Until then,

1238
01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:35.079
take care, guys,
