Tonight was the post double or Nothing edition of a EW Dynamite. On this
the final day of May. It is the last day of the month.
No AW World Champion tonight, MJF. We did have a video package,
but he was not on the show tonight. We didn't get any clarity on
who he may be either working with next or defending his championship against Next.
But we did have a major announcements, of course, one of many we
get them seemingly every week from Tony Khan. Tony Khan promised a major announcement
tonight concerning the debut episode of AEW Collision, which as you know, is
premiering on June seventeenth on TNT from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
And he was going to make an announcement about that debut episode. And it
didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what that announcement was probably going to
be. It was the worst kept secret in wrestling. You see right there
there he is right there. The big announcement is that cmpunk is coming back,
and Cmpunk will not only be on the debut edition of Collision in Chicago,
but he will be on every episode of Collision going forward. And the
real story here was the reaction in the arena. They were in San Diego
tonight. The reaction in the arena really told a very interesting story when they
made that announcement. So we will talk about what the reaction is and really
what the most important thing is to look for going forward as far as cmpunk
of these crab reactions are concerned, and beyond crab reactions, what the most
important aspect is going to be of the cmpunk return And really one of the
main reasons why Tony conn is bringing this guy back in the first place.
But now the cats out of the bag, so we know cmpunk is on
the way back, putting that announcement on the side. Though this was overall,
I thought an excellent show and one of my favorite segments of the entire
show. Of all people involved, Don Callos. Don Callis now has dominic
Masterio heat in this company after what he did at Double or Nothing, after
what he did to Kenny Omega weeks ago in the cage match with John Moxley.
Of course, we know that Canos gate Takeshta went heel at the end
of Double or Nothing on Sunday. He is aligned with Don Callis they came
out for a promo segment tonight, if you could hear what they were saying
because it was so loud in the building. This was not piped in crowd
noise. You could see people in the background, You could see people in
other sections. When they would cut to the crowd. These people were on
their feet, they were shouting. They did not like don K. He
got the kind of heat that if you are a heel man, you would
kill for this type of nuclear heat. And I love you. Even Tony
Schavani at the beginning of the segment said that he could feel they say vile.
I thought he said the word vile. I think he meant bile,
but he could feel the bile coming up in his throat. He was so
disgusted that he had to introduce this man. It was great. It was
great. And by the way, there was no MJF on the show in
the building tonight, no Kenny Omega either, but there was a mention of
Omega during another backstage segment that I think kind of tipped their hand as far
as where this story may be going, So we'll talk about that as well.
Mixed Tag Team main event tonight, they gave Adam Cole, Britt Baker,
Chris Jericho and Srea the main event spot on the show. And they
went out there and Jericho and Adam Cole had a better, much better match
than they had at the pay per view on Sunday. This was a much
better match than we got from them at Double or Nothing, with a much
better crowd. This is a much livelier crowd than the crowd they had in
Las Vegas. But it was just a better and more enjoyable fun match then
we saw on Sunday with these two. But even better than that is the
outcome of the match and what it means for Adam Cole going forward, because
Adam Cole not only came out a winner on Sunday, he came out a
winner over Chris Jericho tonight as well. So with any luck, we will
not be getting at other three or four or five or six months of Adam
Cole and Chris Jericho, of Adam Cole and the Jericho Appreciation Society, and
he can move on. That was maybe the best part of the entire thing.
No build at all tonight for Forbidden Door, which is the next pay
per view coming up on Sunday, June twenty fifth. I expect that to
change coming out of the New Japan Dominion Show, which is coming up this
Sunday. It's one of their big annual events, so I would expect starting
next week we will begin to probably see some interesting cameos on these shows,
and the cards should start to come into better focus. But this is your
AEW Dynamite Review four, the final day of May May thirty first, two
thousand and twenty three. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you for joining
me here as I know you do each and every Wednesday, Please do subscribe.
We opened things tonight on Dynamite with the Blackpool Combat Club. We had
John Moxley, we had Claudio Castignoli, we had Wheeler Utah taking on Bandido
and the Luca Bros. Hot Opener. Here we got a Hot Trio's match
to open the show tonight. Ex Caliber had Brian Danielson with them on commentary
and he asked, Brian Danielson, point blank, you wanted to know,
point blank on commentary if Cano, Skate to Keshta and Don Callis were now
officially part of the Blackpool Combat Club. And Danielson deflected and he said,
actually we'll be hearing from Don Callis a little bit later on in the show,
and perhaps he'll have more to say on that later on. So that
was a nice little deflection there by Danielson. There was a spot in this
match where Penta and Phoenix, they had Moxley and Claudio each locked in a
submission hole, and while that was going on, Bandido had Wheeler Utah in
a vertical suplex position and he held this guy up there for sixty reps,
so he had the crowd counting along in batches of ten sixty seconds. He
had this guy hanging upside down before he finally dropped him. And all I
know is that if somebody held me upside down like that for sixty seconds,
I don't think that would make me feel very good. So but Bandido is
fun man. Another thing about Bandido is every single time we've seen him on
Dynamite, every single time we have seen him, doesn't matter who he's in
the ring with, he gets these crowds behind him. And we've had other
luchadors on the show or I mean, but there's something about this guy.
He's got a certain physical CHARISMI even with the mask on, that was always
a big thing in WWE, Luca guys would come in, a lot of
them. They would unmask, Right, why is this guy wearing a mask?
He's good looking, he can't show face expressions and there's something to that.
But even underneath the mask, he just has a certain charisma that that's
why both companies were after him. So it doesn't matter what city they're in,
it doesn't matter who he's in the ring with. He has a knack
for getting the crowd behind him. He's just fun to watch and this crowd
in San Diego was no different. So then Bandido hit a tornado, died
from the top rope laid out John Moxley. Bandido got a pop up cutter
on Utah and then a huge frog splash for a close near fall. Daniel
said attributed on commentary. He was talking about Utah and he attributed the training
that they have done with Utah for him to be able to kick out there.
He said, a year ago, he never would have been able to
kick out of that, but because he's been training with us now he's able
to kick out of stuff like that. So Moxley saved Utah from the twenty
one plex attempt by Bandido. Claudio flew in with a super cut or he
had no super cut. I just combined up were cut and super kick to
super cut. There you go. I challenge any wrestler out there. I
want to see you adopt the super cut. There you go. I just
gave you a new move. So Claudio flew in with an upper cut and
that led to you to hitting a very Brian Danielson esq busaikuni and some anvil
elbows followed, and then the seat belt for the wind. This was a
really fun opener. As soon as I said I was having fun. Jacob
Donnelly activating Bremode for twenty five bucks. Jacob, thank you, He says,
no special message, just wanted to activate Bremode. Who doesn't love Bremode
here? And yeah, who doesn't. As I was saying, this was
I thought a really fun opener with a hot crowd. And again, as
would double or nothing, they give the winning pinfall here. They did it
anarchy in the arena. They did it again tonight, not to John Moxley,
not to Claudio, not to Danielson. On Sunday. The name talents
who really don't need the rub, they give it to the one guy who
needs it right, they give it to the one guy who is not on
the same level as them and could really benefit from picking up a win.
They give it to Willie ut twice in a row now, So I like
that. It's important for him to pick up some big wins to show that
he's more than just a little shit, which is what Danielson calls him.
He calls him a little shit, but he's our little shit. Well,
you gotta give the little shit some wins. And they did that again here.
But this was fun. I enjoyed this. So then we go to
the back and Alex Marvez is with the Young Bucks and hangman Adam Page.
Matt Jackson was getting his foot taped up after the exploding sneaker spot on Sunday.
He was walking around with one shoe on, one shoe off, and
that one foot that had no shoe audit. He unfortunately for him, got
umped into thumb tacks, so that didn't feel too good. So he was
getting his foot wrapped here he told the guy to, you know, leave
get away. So Matt Jackson started talking and he said the Blackpool Combat Club
brings out the worst than them. He said he never thought that he would
ever try to burn someone's face off with an exploding sneaker. But here we
are. Paige said that they're still standing and they're still swinging while the Blackpool
Combat Club relies on the numbers game. Eva Luno entered the shot with Alex
Reynolds and John Silver. They sarcastically apologize for ooh, you're with your friends.
We don't want to interrupt you, right, So they're being all sarcastic
and Paige was going to go after them to explain, but Marvez asked about
the rumor that Kenny Omega. Not only was Kenny Omega ad here tonight,
but the rumor going around the Kenny Omega had left the country to go back
home, to go back to Canada. Page said that Omega was hurt.
He said that Omega was pissed off, but he was not at home in
Canada. He said, so the implication being the way that I read this,
the implication being that yes, Kenny Omega is not at home in Canada
because he went back to his other home in Japan. The idea of being
that he's looking to recruit somebody to bring into even the numbers here, the
numbers are a little lopsided right now, and gee, I wonder who that
could be. I wonder who Kenny Omega could be in Japan potentially recruiting.
But again that's just the way that I read this saidment here. So after
a break, Tony Chavanni was in the ring to introduce Bullet Club Gold Switchblade,
J White, Juice Robinson for an interview. They threw their arms around
at Tony Chavanni in the ring, and Jay White said that Ricky Starks probably
feels like he or felt like he was on top of the world after eliminating
him and Robinson from the Blackjack Battle Royal that was on Sunday for the international
title. White said that Starks is not the aw International Champion because he lost
that match, just like he lost to j White. So White said that
Starks is not the International Champion, as I said, because he lost the
match. And Robinson brought up the Tag Team Champions FTR, and he was
wondering why why would they In that backstage segment on Sunday, when Juice and
Jay attacked Ricky Starks FTR came to their rescue. We wanted to know why
why would they get involved here? Why would they save Ricky Starks. Robinson
said Starks has no friends, and j White said that FTR are a couple
of Southern boys, which means they're probably a little slow and they look a
little dumb too. So FTR walked to the ring. We had FTR Balld
and FTR Hair, the reigning tag team champions. They came down to the
ring. Robinson assumed they were there to apologize, and Jay White assumed that
they wanted to join Bullet Club Gold. He said, all they had to
do was asked politely. So Dax Harwood held out his hand for the microphone,
j White dropped it in front of him, and then Robinson blindsided Harwood
with a cheap shot, a fistful of quarters. Not quite the rolls of
quarters that Jacques Brujau used on Dynamite Kid back in eighty eight, but he
did use quarters to knock out I think his two front teeth, as the
story goes, but he hit him with He hit him with a fistfull of
quarters, and down goes Dax and then the two of them attack both members
of FTR. Ricky Starks ran down to the ring with a chair, which
caused j White and Starks the Fleet into the crowd. Starks got on the
mic, he stood on the turnbuckles, he looked at them in the crowd.
He was all fired up, and he said he's tired of basically,
he's tired of this shit. And he challenged j White to a match on
Dynamite next week to put an end to this once and for all. And
in that match, which has been made official, which is coming up next
week, Jay White and Ricky Starks are going to go one on one with
Juice Robinson at FTR, both barred from ringside. And that's interesting to me
because it makes me think that with no one there to help Jay White and
no one there to help Ricky Starks, maybe we might see a third member
of Bullet Club Gold debut. And especially now that we're getting into Forbidden Door
season and I think we're gonna start to see appearances in cameos next week,
I think, could it be a member of the new Japan roster who shows
up to come to the aid of Jay White to help him beat Ricky Starks.
Next week, we might get a third member of Bullet Club Goal.
I don't know who that would be, but that would not at all shock
me. Next week. So then it was to the back to the president
of the company, Tony Kahn. Tony Kahn had a special announcement to make,
as I mentioned at the beginning of the stream, with regard to the
debut episode of Collision coming up on June seventeenth. This was quick and to
the point, they did not spend a whole lot of time on this.
This was very quick and he made it very clear. He said that he
is here to announce that Collision, starting June seventeenth will feature cm Punk.
And they cut to the crowd and what was a very noticeably mixed reaction.
Plenty of cmpunk chants, and they clearly tried to find people in the crowd
who were chanting cmpunk or were wearing cmpunk shirts. They were cutting to different
people in different sections, but they could not hide the boots there were.
For all the cheers that there were, there were very noticeable boots. This
was as mixed a reaction as cmpunk has probably ever gotten in his entire run
in aw and he was a baby face pretty much for that entire run,
although he may have had certain you know, heel moments, but you don't
see this kind of mixed reaction for CM Punk since he came back to wrestling,
so it was very noticeable. And Chicago is not the test because I
already saw people online saying, well, you know, let's see what the
reaction is in Chicago on the seventeenth. The reaction in Chicago was going to
be what you expect. He's the Chicago boy cm the Chicago made Cmpunk.
He's going to get a hero's welcome. Could there be booze in Chicago?
Whatever booze there may be in Chicago are going to be drowned out. June
seventeenth in Chicago is not the test. The test is in week two when
they go to Toronto. The test is in week three when they go to
Hamilton, Week four in Regina, or week five of the show when they
go to Calgary, or after Calgary, they're gonna be back in the States.
They're gonna be in Newark. I think the third week in July.
Those are going to be the tests when they get out of Chicago and they're
actually out of the country for the first few weeks because they have that big
Canadian swing, So I don't know, maybe we got some Canadian fans here.
The Canadian people think of cmpunk. You know Canadian fans, they have
their favorites, right, Hulk Coogan, no matter what, always went to
Canada. Hule Cogan tried to kill the Rock in the build up to WrestleMania.
He tried to run him down with a truck and murder him. And
when he showed up in Toronto, he got cheered like the biggest baby face
of all time. So I don't know how Canada is going to respond to
cmpunk. But that's the test. Chicago is not the test. And look,
I think they have what six thousand tickets and change out right now for
Chicago as of tonight. Now they've announced cmpunk. This is why Tony Khan
wanted to get the name out there, because they have tickets to sell.
They have booked, They have booked the United Center. When they were in
the United States or two years ago for Punk's comeback, they put fourteen or
fifteen thousand people in that building. They're not putting fifteen thousand people in the
building this time. We already have the cmpunk return once. I've talked about
this before. You do something once, when you come back a second time,
it's never as big as the first time. They're gonna have seventy thousand
people, let's say in Wembley Stadium in August. If AW tries to run
Wembley Stadium again next year the year after that, they're not getting seventy thousand
people, you get one shot at this. So this is now the second
coming of CMPUNK. This is not the first dance. I'm not expecting them
to get fifteen thousand people. But if they can't get ten thousand people in
that building, that's not good. Because Tony Kank could have booked any other
number of buildings in Chicago that would have been smaller and cheaper than the United
Center. He booked the United Center because of CMPUNK. Now his name has
been announced, let's see what happens. Very curious to see how many tickets
they move in the next week now that his name has been announced. If
they're at six or seven thousand, now ten thousand should be a breeze.
Maybe they get to twelve or thirteen. That'll be a test, as will
the ticket sales for all of the other collision tapings, which last I heard,
we're not doing too well. So of course he had to get this
guy's name out there. He's got tickets to sell, and we'll see if
they announce a match for Punk on that first show. Is Punk going to
come out on that first Collision and cut a promo like he did on the
first Dance. I think he should be in a match. I don't think
it's enough to have him come out and just do a promo, especially if
he's not allowed to even talk about the Elite or brawl out or anything people
would want to hear him addressing if he signed an NBA and can't talk about
any of that shit. I mean, there goes a lot of the interesting
stuff people would want to hear him talking about. So in my opinion,
you've got to get Cmpunk a match on that first show. And the rumors
were that he wanted to work with Samoa Joe, And the reason Samoa Joe
is on the Collision post and he's on the Collision roster is because Punk wants
to work with him. I think that's great. If Punk's coming back,
I'd love to see punkin Joe, And as I've said before, I think
they should do that first match on that first Collision and Joe should beat Punk
in Chicago. What a huge moment that would be for Samoa Joe, and
there would be a lot of people who wouldn't be expecting Punk to lose in
his first match back. But he continues their story from their Ring of Honor
days. These two haven't been in the ring together in almost twenty years.
Punk can never beat Joe. I don't just want one cm Punk Samoa Joe
match. I want at least two, maybe three. Therefore, Joe needs
to beat him. What a bigger statement to make than in Punk's returned in
Chicago. Samoa Joe puts this man down better yet he puts him down in
the matches and even all that competitive. But however they're going to do it.
I would be surprised if they don't have Punk wrestling on that first show.
I would think you want to announce an actual match for him. Now
we've got three weeks. I guess right. It's about three weeks until the
Collision debut and we'll see. Tony Khn got his man back. He wanted
cmpunk back, he got cmpunk. He knows that he needs cmpunk to move
tickets. He needs cmpunk or some big name if he wants this Collision show
to do well. The head of Warner Brothers Discovery is the one who went
to Tony Khan and said, we want more programming from you. Guys.
We're depending on you. We're gonna put you out on Saturday Nights Live two
hours every week. Tony Kahn felt like, I need cmpunk. Even with
cmpunk, there's no guarantee Collision's gonna do well and they're gonna be getting bounced
around. Do you think Rampage getting bounced around has been bad? Same thing
may end up happening into Collision. It's gonna wreak havoc on the schedule with
all the sports and everything. So I get why he feels he needs cmpunk,
but there is a lot of baggage that comes with punk, And so
for Tony konn sake, I certainly hope that things work out well for it,
because the last thing he needs is more headaches like he's been dealing with
over the last eight or nine months. He made his choice, he got
his men. For his sake, I hope it works out. So we
got a three way match. This three way dance here was stemming from the
Battle Royal with Double or Nothing. We had Swerve Strickland, we had Big
Bill, and we had Trent Baretta. Swerve was responsible for Big Bill's elimination
on Sunday. Strickland immediately took a powder out of the ring. Trent Baretta
decided to go ahead and dive out onto him, and then Big Bill went
on offense, heading into the picture and Picture Baretta connected with a moonsaul from
the second row to the floor to take out Big Bill. Then he ate
a running punt by Swerve. Strickland wanted his double stomp. Bill thought up
on the ropes with him and Trent joined Strickland up on the ropes and the
two of them then delivered a monster superplex the Big Bill. As Bill was
kind of flying through the air for the suplex, I just had visions of
the ring imploding. I had visions of that rain just collapsing inward. We've
seen that stunt happen a bunch of times before you get a big boy like
that ring didn't bring I guess they had the ring extra reinforced, and see
I knew that was going to happen. Were we already have one person in
the check? Why is Solomn Monster a punk hater? Or why does he
hate punk so much? What did he ever do? To him again.
I'll say this once. I speak facts, I speak the truth. All
I said is that this man has been a colossal headache in the past,
per Tony con and Tony Kan knows what he's getting himself into. That is
all I said. Where in that statement that I hate on Punk. I
don't understand the brain rot in this community. I just don't. I don't
get it. Where are the brainworms coming from? How are they infecting these
people? How did they get inside the skull? I don't get it.
You know, I had something once. I had a squirrel that died in
the wall, A fucking squirrel. Somehow it got in It died in the
wall, right rest in peace. I'm sitting in the living room one day
and I look on the dining room or not dining room, but it's like
there's a table, a little coffee table in the living room, and I
look on the table and there's maggots in like a couple of maggots in one
of the bowls. I'm just thinking of myself, what the fuck? How
did they get in there? That was one of the telltale signs that we
had something dead somewhere, but I couldn't tell you how they got in that
bowl, So how they're getting in your heads? I have no idea.
But all you people who want to go on and on and on and on
and on about the hat on punk, go ahead. It amuses me.
It amuses me. He doesn't even know you exist. Just be aware of
that. Okay, he does not even know you exist. He's not going
to give you a free autograph. He's not going to give you a freehand
job, all right, So calm calm down. So anyway, Monster Superplex
here to Big Bill. He gets laid out in the ring, Trent Barretta
connects with a half and half overhead supplex on Swerve ran into a big boss
man slam by Big Bill, Bill and Barretta. They fought to the apron
were Bill choke slammed him back into the ring. So Bill's on the apron.
He choke slams this guy back inside Strickland. As soon as he finishes
the choke slam, Swerve comes off the top with a double stump on the
apron to Big Bill. So that wipes out. That wipes out Big Bill,
and then Swerve hurries back into the ring and he pins Trent Baretta one
saying rest in peace to the squirrel in the wall. Well, he's just
bones and dust. Now, that's what he gets for crawling into the wall.
It's not my fault. Don't blame me, blame the person who owns
the house, who left that opening out in front. All I hear was
a scratch, scratch scratch, Like, what the hell is that noise?
Scratch scratch scratch? One day there was no scratching anymore, but man,
did it fucking stink. Anyway, I enjoyed this. I enjoyed seeing Swerve
pick up a win on Dynamite for a change, Right, how many times
did I talk about how we never get to see Swerve or Keithley. There's
certain people we really don't ever get to see on Dynamite. So the more
that we can see Swerve on this show, the better. We're gonna see
him again next week. He's gonna be challenging Orange Cassidy for the International Championship
next Wednesday. So I enjoyed seeing him. I enjoyed Big Bill, even
Big Bill getting television time. I'd like to see more of him as well.
It was never explicitly said here that this match was to determine a new
number one contender for the international title, but it would seem that would be
the case. And then as we would find out later in the show,
like I said, we know who the number one contender is now. So
coming out of this, Renee was on stage to introduce the acclaimed and Billy
Gunn was the squirrel named Rocky. I did not actually give him a name,
so I no, I don't believe his name was Rocky. I don't
believe his name was Rocky. I think his name now is his name is
dead D E A D. That's what he is. It's the wall,
brother, It's the wall, you know. I did notice as soon as
Dynamite went off the air, they had that was it Rich and Famous whatever
that show is called. They had the show on Hulk Hogan and the Gawker
scandal with a Gawker lawsuit or whatever. I'm getting ready, I'm getting everything
set up here for the Dynamite stream, and I still had it on in
the background, and as I'm going to turn it off, all I heard
they had the footage of Hogan on the stand during the Gawker trial talking about
I do not have a ten inch penis. So I'm like, I'm turning
this off at exactly the right time. So Renee said, Unfortunately, things
did not go the way that the Acclaimed in Billy Gunn had hoped they would.
At double or Nothing, they did not win the trios titles, and
she said that you guys requested this time to speak. So Billy Gunn said
that he felt like he let down the two people that mean the most to
him. Man, what do Austin and Colton think about that? Hearing that
Max Castor told him not to feel bad, he said, together, they
are the Acclaimed and they are the people's choice. Anthony Bowen said that a
few months ago they got screwed out of Tag Team Gold. Yeah they did.
Boy, they forgot about that real quick. The Acclaim seemed to just
move on. They didn't seem too bothered by the fact that they got screwed
out of their Tag team championships. I don't know why that. He just
walked walk over to FTR and say, hey, guys, you know,
we kind of got screwed out of those titles. It's sure would be nice
if you were to, you know, give us a title shot, but
not gonna happen. So he said that they want more gold and he said
this man he was pointing to Billy Gunn when he said this, he goes
this man ride here. For all he's given us, he deserves to hold
gold one more time. Bowen said, everyone loves the Acclaimed, and that
was the end of the segment. Yeah, he really doesn't. He really
doesn't have to hold gold one more time. I like Billy Gunn when he
comes out. I think his you know, airing with the Acclaimed is fun.
People enjoy it. They do the whole scissor me. Daddy asked,
thing, that's great. I don't particularly really need to see Billy Gunn holding
gold anymore, so, thanks anyway. After the break, Tony Schiavanni was
back in the ring again to introduce us in the most disgusted way possible.
He was repulsed by this. To introduce us to Don Callis and Knoski Tekeshta,
who entered to heat in place of entrance music. The heat the booze
from the crowd were their entrance music as they came to the ring. It's
the best kind of music if you are a heel, there is no better
music than that. That's music to your ears. Callus was drowned out in
the ring by the crowd. He got the dominic mysterio reaction, and he
said he sincerely hopes these booze are not for him. He hopes these booze
are for Kenny Omega. And the booze only intensified. He said he's the
real victim here. Even louder, he said, he's done everything for Kenny
Omega. I WGP title because of me, AW title because of me.
We could barely hear what this man was saying. It was beautiful, he
said. Every morning he gets up, but he has to look at the
scar on his head, twenty three stitches, he said, and he blames
Kenny. He has destroyed his family. Kallis says, maybe I lost the
nephew, but I gained a son, and he pointed to to Keshta,
who he called the best athlete that he has ever seen in wrestling. You
know who he's better than, he says, better than Ricky doze In,
better than in Oki, better than Mata, better than Muto and oh yeah,
better than Okada, says you know who else? He's better then,
and we're gonna show it very soon. He's better than Kenny Omega. And
at this point in the promo to Keshta took the microphone and he spoke in
Japanese to Booze. I don't know what he said, other than the name
Kenny Omega. I heard the name Kenny Omega mentioned. Callis said to Keshta,
is gonna cut the elite out of all elite wrestling. My god,
the heat for this said, The heat for this man was nuclear. These
people would not let him speak. They hated this man so much. And
I mean, what's to like, right, he's a very hateable person.
He looks like a fucking lizard, so of course he's very Yeah, some
people have like a punchable face, right, like a Sammy Gavara. Now
they're trying to turn him into a baby face. But I mean, come
on, he's coming out there, he's sticking his tongue out. You just
want to slap the guy in the face. That's what makes him a good
heel. Don Callis is like, he's like a reptile, So of course
he's the perfect heel. He's the perfect foil. Here. But somebody's shared
a link on social media with me. They were in the crowd tonight.
They were in the building in San Diego, and they were up in the
cheap seats and even from up there, like they said, like they've never
and all the times they've been to wrestling shows, they have never heard a
reaction, a negative reaction. They've never heard booze like this before. Clearly
this person has never attended a New York Mets game in the last twenty years,
but as far as wrestling goes, he had never heard a reaction like
that the Callis. It was noticeable that when Callis mentioned Okada, he kind
of singled him out there. He said, oh, even Okada, He's
even better than Okada, and I picked up on night. Has me thinking
that, you know, Omega really now is locked into this feud. He's
really locked into this feud. And Don Callis has screwed him over now a
couple of different times. This thing is personal with him. It would almost
feel out of place if they went into Forbidden Door in three weeks and they
had Kenny Omega defending the IWGP United States Championship against will Osprey because Will Osprey
is wrestling Lance Archer this Sunday at Dominion. The winner of that match is
the number one contender for the IWGPUS title and I just assumed that the timing
is perfect. Whoever wins that match. Let's say it's will Osprey would challenge
Kenny Omega and Toronto, it's Forbiddendorff at the US Title. Now I'm not
so sure because now it feels to me like they're setting up for a tag
team match, and I could see them doing Omega and Okada as tag team
partners. Obviously they've been on opposite sides before. I believe they were tag
team partners this year though, at the post Wrestle Kingdom New Year Dash show.
I could see Omega and Okada as a team against will Osprey and Takeshta,
and that would be an incredible match. But they save the US title
match for Wembley. I know it's a few months away. I don't know
that there has to be a timetable necessarily for when he defends that championship next
so they could do they could push it off for all in at Wembley Stadium,
and they can have Will Osbrey challenging Kenny Omega for the belt at the
end of August, do a tag team match at Forbidden Door, so that
Takeshten don Callis are involved and it keeps the story moving along. My assumption
is they're going to save Blood and Guts for early July. That's what they
did last year. They waited until I think a week or two after Forbidden
Door and they did Blood and Guts on TV. So if it follows the
same pattern, we're not getting that Blood and Guts match for at least another
month, and they can bring any bushi or whatever they're gonna do to do
five on five. That's how I see things playing out. I think they
may go to tag team route at Forbidden Door. But this was great.
This was my favorite segment on the entire show. We got a highlights package
of the TNT title ladder match with Wardlow and Christian Cage at Double or Nothing.
Arn Anderson talked about biting the dinosaurs thumb in that match, while Wardlow
said Lucasaurus found out not to get involved in their business, but he'll be
more than happy to finish the job if Lucasaurus wants to be the next in
line. So that feud is going to continue. Where he beat Christian,
now he goes up against Christians protege. He gets to go up against Lucasaurus.
I don't know when, but that will be the next tant title match.
Darby Allen and Rage Cassidy against Bishop Kohne and toa Leona the Gates of
Agony, two thirds of the Ring of Honors six men tag team Champions with
Brian Cage. There are of course members of the Mogul Embassy. So for
those who don't know, for those who don't pay attention to Rampage, which
I'm sure is a good number of you, we had Worth Strickland and his
Mogul affiliates and we had the Embassy led by Prince Nanna. They merged and
so now I guess it's the Mogul Embassy at least that's my unless something has
changed, that's my understanding. It is still the Mogul Embassy and Tony conn
was for the most part. A few exceptions, but for the most part.
Tony Kann has been staying pretty true to his words since the beginning of
the year that he was not going to have any more Ring of Honor matches
or Ring of Honor influence on the aw shows. He said this coming out
of Final Battle, and for the most part he straight. He stayed true
to his word to Night Alone, though we opened with a match that had
the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions and then here in this match we
had the Gates of Agne and you know, the Embassy and all that.
So you know, look, I'll tell you what, Cone and Total Leona
were very impressive here in this match. They had an opportunity to go out
there on a bigger stage than they normally have brought, a much bigger platform
than Honor Club. They went out there on Dynamite and they took advantage of
the time that they had. I thought they were very impressive, and I
think it may be time to elevate them off of Ring of Honor or you
know, away from ROH and onto Dynamite, because I think they would be
a very strong addition to that tag team division. They deserve a bigger spotlight
after what I saw from them tonight. So Swerve Strickland, who again is
part of this whole Mogul Embassy, he Brian Cage and Prince Nanna came strolling
out early in the match onto the stage. They had a chair with them
and so Swerve took a seat while Brian Cage and Prince Nanna stood on either
side of him. He was there to observe. So again to what I
said earlier about whether or not that's gonna, you know, lead to a
Swerve title match with Orange Cassidy, I mean this pretty much told you that
that's the direction they were going in. Cohn pulled Darby Allen to the floor.
He was running him back and forth into the ring in the barricade,
then threw him against another part of the barricade toa charged Cassidy and sent him
flying with a shoulder blog heading into the picture and picture break. These two
were taking advantage of these two boys because the story is that Orange Cassidy he
outlasted twenty other men in the Blackjack Battle Royal on Sunday, and he's been
on his last legs now for a few months, right, He's been defending
that title non stop. He's just been wearing himself ragged. Darby was involved
in that four Pillars match for the aw World title on Sunday and he took
a beating in that match. So these two came into the match at less
than one hundred percent. So these two monsters were just beating the living hell
out of him. That was the story of the match. So con plays
Darby on top on the top turn buckle, picked him up while standing on
the middle rope and then dropped him down onto the top turnbuckle. Darby of
eventually got the hot tag to OC, who put his hands in his pockets.
I can hear some people groaning at this point. He dodged the Heels
when they came charging at him. Cassidy put Cone down with a DDT for
an ear fall. The Heels eventually regrouped. They had Cassidy pinned until Darby
broke it up. Cassidy hit an awful looking double HRC and RNA and then
tagged out. Darby ducked the punch from Toa, who got hit with the
orange punch from Orange Cassidy. He hit a stun dog Millionaire on Cone and
then dove onto Toah on the floor. Darby followed up with a coffin drop
on Cone and he pinned him. After the match was over, Strickland,
Cage and Prince Nanna they all made their way down to ringside when Sting's music
played, and Tony Schavani I mean he basically had a melt down and probably
soiled himself at the commentary desk. Here comes Staying he's got his jacket on.
Of course, they're selling these jackets. He's got to model them.
Now. He's got his jacket on like it's September. He's got a baseball
bat. Of course, he never leaves home without always has that baseball bat
with him. I would love to know if he takes that baseball bat truly
does take it everywhere he goes. I can just picture him with that baseball
bat whenever he goes to the grocery store, whenever he goes to the salon.
Right, I'm sure Sting goes to the salon. He probably gets his
hair, did he does get the manny and the petty and all that bullshit.
Right, he has that bat right next to him when he's there,
takes his wife to the movies date night, goes out to dinner at the
restaurant, Sir, can I check your coat? Sure? Can I check
your bat? No? I could just picture him taking that shit everywhere.
So he's got that bat with him. He comes down to the ring,
swerve and the heels. They all think better of it, and they decide
to bail and stands tall with Darby and Oc in the ring. I thought
that this was a this was a fun match. I enjoyed this match,
a great showcase for the Gates of Agony. And you know, Darbynoc,
they make a good team. I think this was the second time now we've
seen them on television as a tag team, so they make a good team.
Gates of Agony. Again, they took eighty five percent or more of
this match. This was like a showcase match for them, even though they
lost, and I would like to see more of them. But again,
there's there's not really supposed to be any more mixing between the ROH brand and
AW. And I know, look, Samoa Joe is the Ring of Honor
television champion. He's one of the featured stars on Collision, so I mean,
it is what it is. If you gave me the choice, I'd
much rather have Joe on Collision than Ring of Honor because I'm gonna be watching
Collision. I don't watch Ring of Honor every week, and I don't get
to see enough Samoa Joe, So of course I want Joe to have the
biggest platform possible. These two, I think would be a fine addition to
that tag team division in AW. And also, you know, when this
segment was over, we know that Orange, Cassidy and Swerve are going to
be wrestling next week. It lefts you wondering if we might get a tag
team match. Would Sting in Darby against the Gates of Agony, Gates of
Agony against State. I don't know. I don't know if that would end
well for Sting. They're a very physical team. It would be like taking
Veer and Sanga Indue Share from Monday Night Raw and putting them in the ring
with Sting. Their styles, you know, them in the ring with sixty
four year old Sting. Uh yeah, I don't I don't know about that.
These two kind of remind me of of those two guys, just in
terms of their you know, intensity out there tonight, their power, their
size. These guys are not as big as Indue Share, but picturing Sting
in the ring, you know, working with these guys, that might be
a bit of a risk. So we got a highlight video of mj successfully
defending his AW World title at Double or Nothing. He is still the holder
of the big Burnberry bell and we had comments from MJF that they spliced in
I guess from backstage that night and he said the clock is ticking and AW
was running out of competition. They are running out of gladiators for MJF to
slay, as it has been made clear that no one is on the level
of the devil. Yeah, Blizzban says, they remind him of Faces of
Fear. That's a good comparison. I could see that. Yeah, I
could see Gates of Agony very similar to the Faces of Fear, except that
you know meang, I mean, we're not comparing anyone's toughness to him.
I would never dare do that. So what do you do with m JF.
That's the question. Now. They did nothing on this show to even
tease a direction for MJF. Who the next challenger is going to be.
I believe that Adam Cole being groomed for that spot in a few months.
I'm thinking closer to like all out, assuming they're doing all out in Chicago.
What do you do right now with MJF. Does he skip Forbidden Door?
Remember in storyline and maybe in real life, who knows, But in
storyline he despises Ring of Honor or not well, he probably does, but
he despises New Japan. I'm still talking about Ring of Honor. He despises
despises everything. He despises all of it except WWE. He loves Nick Connon.
WWE talks about him all the time, but he despises New Japan,
puts him down as much as he possibly can. I think m JF,
and it doesn't even have to be for the championship necessarily, but MJF and
Hiroshi Tanahashi still seems to me the likeliest match. If he's going to wrestle
at that Forbidden Door show, and Tony Conn is gonna want MJF on that
show, you MJF against Tanahashi. Tanahashi is he's one of the flag bears,
one of the all time legends of New Japan. He's somebody who can
take the loss right more probably a lot more palatable to them. If he
loses, then let's say Okada or somebody like that, or Sonata. They
wanted to do champion against champion. I mean that never ends well, unless,
of course, you're Kaito Kiamiya. At the time when he was the
GHC champion, Okada had no problem beating him even though it was a champion
against champion. But I'm thinking MJF in Tanahashi because they gave us nothing They
gave us no hints or anything on this show about what the next challenge is
going to be for him. But if it's tied into this whole forbidden door
stuff, my money's on Tanahashi. I think he would make the most sense.
So Tony Schavani back in the ring again. You know, they've been
outsourcing a lot of this work to Renee ever since they signed her, so
support Tony doesn't have to keep getting up and down. But tonight they went
right back to the old way. Tony Schavani's at the desk one second,
the next second he's back in the ring. Then it's back to the desk,
then it's back to the ring. They were like tire tracks in the
ground. He kept going back and forth this because it's how he gets his
cardio. So again he was back in the ring. Before he could really
say anything, he was interrupted by Hook Hook's music. Out came the FTW
champion, who never speaks, so for him to come down here, I
was like, Okay, let's see what this kid has to say. Of
course, before he could even get a word out, he's interrupted, because
you can't cut a promo in this company without somebody interrupting. You. He's
interrupted by Jose the Assistant. Tony was going to ask him about what it
was like, you know, teaming up with the Hardy's on Sunday and helping
Matt Hardy beat Ethan Page and now Matt Hardy owns Ethan Page's contract and whatever.
So he's interrupted by Jose the Assistant. Jose the Assistant comes out with
Dr Leistico and with Preston Vans, and he said that Ruche is not there.
Rush is too dangerous to be on TV because people were making a big
deal about the match with him and Jungle Boy before Double or Nothing, where
he beat the piss out a jungle Boy, took ninety percent of the match
and got out of his snare trap finish. I mean that booking was wild,
but there are actually some people who think he took liberties with jungle Boy,
me a break, took liberties with him, wanted to business for himself.
So hey, they're going to parlay that now into his gimmick. Right,
He's the most dangerous man in professional wrestling. So Ruche was not there.
He told Dr Leistico and Vans as they're walking to the ring to teach
this pedal a lesson. They called him a dog. See I know that
called him a dog. Don't teach this dog a lesson. Jungle Boys music
hit. Then he walked out with a chair to make the save for Hook,
he took out Drew Leistico, He took out Preston Vance. Jose ran
back into the ring right into a front head and arm suplex, and Hook
took him over. There was a moment in this after Hook took out Jose.
We're Jungle Boys. In his leather jacket, He's got the chair in
his hand. He's standing in the ring right next to Hook, and it
looked as if he might be about to turn that chair on Hook. For
a second there, I thought we might get that Jungle Boy heel turn I've
been talking about, and we still might, but didn't happen. Tonight They
played Jungle Boys music and that was the end of the segment. But for
a moment there, I thought he might take that chair to Hook. Still
could happen, though there's still time for it to happen. Renee was backstage
with the outcasts, Soreya, Tony Storm, and Ruby Soho. Tony Storm
with the aw Women's World Championship that she won on Sunday, wrapped around her
waist, and she said that some people would say she's just lucky. She
would say that she's been wrestling more than half her life, ever since she
was a young girl. Luck had nothing to do with it. She said.
They look around the locker room and there's no one who can touch what
she does. Ruby said that nobody can touch Tony's work ethic. Tony said
that she's going to be defending this title at all the House Rules live events
that AW has coming up, because that's what a fighting touring champion does,
throwing some shade at Jamie Hayter and probably throwing some shade at thunder Rosa as
well. She said, the only lucky people here are the AW fans.
So no teas of who her next challenger is going to be. Shockingly,
nobody entered after what I just said. Nobody interrupted this promo. How about
that we got no teas about who she will be defending that championship against next?
Could it be against someone from Stardom? I mean again, we have
Forbidden Door coming up. Apparently Stardom, from what I understand, has a
pretty major show. I don't know if it's the day before or the day
after Forbidden Door, and that might prevent any stardom talent from being on the
pay per view. I expected some stardom participation in this year's show. If
they have their own big show, it's possible they won't be on the show.
But you know, maybe they'll do something with her and one of the
Japanese talents. I don't know, but there there was no indication here on
this show about who she'll be defending that championship against next. Speaking of women's
champions, in the very next segment, we had Chris Statlander, the brand
new TBS champion. She is the one in sixty and one beating Jade Cargill
on Sunday. Apparently Jade is going to be taking some time off now and
when she is ready to come back, they're going to be giving her some
kind of character refresh. So I don't know if that means turning her baby
face. I don't know what other kind of refresh they would be. She's
been a heel. Maybe she'll come back as a baby face. But this
was Chris stat Lander. If you can believe this. Chris stat Lander has
been out since August. She blew out her a cl got hurt in August,
had surgery in September. This is Chris stat Lander's first match on Dynamite
since January of last year, so long before she blew out her acl for
the second time, she was not on Dynamite. For the majority of last
year. She was on Dark and Dark Elevation and Rampage. Not a single
match of any kind on Dynamite since January of twenty twenty two. That's ridiculous.
So it's been a long time since we've seen her on this show.
She was here to defend her TBS championship in an open challenge match against Nyla
Rose. Now again, as far as if you missed a review on Sunday
or Monday morning, I guess I was very happy to see Chris stat Lander
back. I've been mentioning her name for months and months and months. That
title had her name on it. They were just waiting. They were biding
their time, waiting and waiting for her to come back, and it was
inevitable that she was going to get that TBS title. I'm not a fan
of the way they did it. It was a big moment for stat Landers.
I'm sure tonight she'll never forget very special for her. They had a
great promo package earlier in the show, was very very well done. Those
are the kind of video packages that will help get people over on this show.
Clearly it meant a lot to her. I didn't like the psychology of
it, though, where you have this woman come back, this big baby
face, And even though Mark Sterling got in the ring and said, hey,
we'll challenge anybody. I mean, just just the notion that Jade the
Heel just wrestled the full match, here comes Chris stat Lander. She beats
her. This woman is already tired from the match. She just had for
the baby face to come in there and do that. Instead of saying,
hey, you know, I guess who's back. I want you at one
hundred percent. I'm coming for your title. She just beats her for it.
You know, that's not the way that I would have done it.
I didn't see the need to rush the belt onto her. I think you
really could have made people, made the fans want to see Chris stat Lander
win this championship instead of just throwing it on her. So I disagree with
the way they went about doing it, but I'm very happy for it.
I'm very happy. Look, we got to the same place anyway, so
it's not that big of a deal. It's just not the way that I
would have done it. But they showed a shot of Tie a Valkyrie who
lost to Jade on Sunday before Jade then lost to Chris stat Lander, so
Tie is already lost. She's in the back watching this, observing the match,
paying very close attention to the match on one of the screens in the
back. After a picture and picture breaks, stat Lander went up top,
but she got her legs yanked out from under her roll to the floor,
where Nila squashed her with a somersault sent on off the apron to the floor,
and then followed that with a running cannon ball against the barricade, squashed
her again back in the rang of jawbreaker puts that Lander back in control,
and then she connected with a four fifty splash picture perfect four fifty splash for
the one two three, and in the back they cut to Tie a Valkyrie.
She did not look very impressed by this win. So we did get
a tease here. Unlike with the Tony Storm where there was no indication of
who she's wrestling next, here it looks like they're gonna have Tie of Valkyrie
stay in the Hunt to the TBS title, even though she just lost and
she was you know, I can't say she was a heel. She didn't
do anything. She just stood there. It doesn't make her a heel.
But Chris stat Lander is a baby face, so if they do this Tie,
it would be the de facto heel in this program. But I thought
it was a good welcome back for her on Dynamite. I thought she looked
great in there, and it's good to have Chris stat Lander back. Yeah,
she's been through a lot of shit. I really truly hope she can
stay healthy this time. You know, you're always just one wrong move away
from some kind of freak injury. And I certainly, I certainly hope that
she can put those behind her and that she's she's gonna be okay going forward,
because they could really use her in this division. You know, she's
a she's a strong addition to the women's division that has been missing for about
nine months now. And they closed the show with Chris Jericho and Soreya in
a mix tag team match against Adam Cole and Britt Baker. Cole and Jericho
had their unsanctioned match on Sunday at Double or Nothing, which was the biggest
disappointment on that entire show. And I still had people arguing with me,
Oh, you're being too hard on it. It was all the crowd.
If the crowd just was excited for it, but they weren't, and they
should have been because it was one of the most featured us on aw television
in the weeks leading up to that pay per view, and the finish they
did and just everything about it, Saboo being the enforcer and showing up and
doing one spot and disappearing, everything they did, it just it just didn't
work. It didn't click. It was very disappointed. So now we get
Cole and Jericho back in the ring. Here they start slugging it out right
away. Cole charged out of the corner with a laria before Sirea tagged it
and she dared Cole to hit her. Britt Baker jumped in. She laid
out Sirea with a sling blade and air raid crash. Sirea, though grab
Paul Turner's leg long enough for Jericho to trip up Britt and that put his
team in control. During the final picture and Picture break, Jericho took the
referee as Ruby Soho and Tony Storm hit ringside on the flip side of the
break. Here come the rest of the outcast down to the ring to triple
team Britt Baker until Caiushita shows up with her trusty kendo stick and she chases
the outcast off to the back. Baker was able to make the tag to
Adam Cole, who pounced on Jericho until missing a drop kick that led to
a Jericho lion salt that got two Baker and Sirea. They tagged back in.
They were fighting in the corner until Sirea got knocked off, and so
she's on the floor and Britt Baker was on the top rope and I don't
know what britt Baker was going for, probably just a splash. We don't
usually see her doing anything off the top rope. Jericho gets in the ring
and he covers up Sirea. He's trying to protect her. He lays his
body on top of her. Britt Baker comes off the top rope anyway,
and she splashes down on both of them. Cole gets in he hits a
backstabber on Jericho, who then countered a Panama Sunrise attempt with a Walls of
Jerich or into a Walls of Jericho. So Britt Baker's on the apron while
this is going on. Britt Baker is on the apron and she puts on
her glove. She gets in the ring and she applies lockjaw. She got
Chris Jericho down on the match. He got the arm hooked, and she
put lockjaw on Chris Jericho for a big pop. Siria broke it up.
Cole went for a superkick, only to run into a codebreaker for two.
Jericho and Cole they collided at the same time with clothes lines, so we
got a double down. Both ladies jumped in they started slugging it out.
Soria turned a neck breaker attempt into beat what she calls the good Night,
which is basically her rampage, her old rampage DDT looked like she spiked this
poor girl right into the mat. And Jericho meanwhile grabbed a baseball bat took
a swing at Britt Baker, who ducked it and he ate a superkick instead.
Cole and Baker then hit dueling super kicks on j Jericho. Is Cole
lowered the boom to the back of Jericho's head with the niche strike and he
got the pinfall to beat Chris Jericho. Jericho on the outside after the match
was furious as Cole and Britt Baker celebrated inside the ring. I enjoyed this
a hell of a lot more than I enjoyed their singles match on Sunday.
I really did. And the best part about this entire thing, No fifty
fifty booking would have been very easy for them to give Jericho his win back
and to keep this thing going for a month or two months or three months.
We've seen this happen before with Jericho, Okay, I was worried about
that no fifty fifty booking here. Adam Cole beat him on Sunday, and
Adam Cole beat him again tonight, and that's very important if I'm right,
and Tony Kahn is getting Adam Cole ready in a few months at the end
of the summer to challenge MJ for the aw World Championship. Not a doubt
in my mind that we're gonna get mjf Adam Cole. The only question is
when are they gonna do it? I say all out, maybe it's not.
Maybe it's Wembley, maybe it's Full Gear in November, but it's gonna
happen. And if it's gonna happen, Adam Cole needs wins like this.
What he does not need is to trade wins back and forth for the next
three or four months with Chris Jericho. And I'll give Jericho credit, you
know, to his credit, he did the same thing with Ricky Stars.
He wrestled Ricky on television the first time and he lost. They had a
rematchic Revolution, and he lost again. So here he lost to Jericho on
Sunday, or rather Adam call on Sunday, and he lost to him again
here on this show. So fair play to Chris Jericho for that. And
then we'll see as far as though, when they start building something with him
and Cole that is. And MJF. This feels to me though, like
this thing is over. There's no real need for this to continue. And
maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's gonna be third match, but there ain't no
need for it. There's no need for a third match. So I thought
Dynamite overall was actually an excellent show tonight. They pushed forward the Elite and
the Blackpool Combat Club stuff, mainly with the Don Kallis promo and what that
promo was sort of teasing, even though Kenny wasn't there the Bullet Club Gold
segment that set up a match between Ricky Starks and Jay White for next week.
Swerve is going to get a shot at the International Championship. So he
was, you know, hanging around Orange Cassidy's match tonight, which made sense,
and that title made you know. Look, I thought when Orange Cassidy
did not lose at Double or Nothing, I said, well, they must
be saving that title change for Chicago. Maybe they want to make a big
splash on that first collision and he'll lose it there. He could lose that
title next week to Swerve. I would love to see Swerve as the International
Champion. It could happen. It could happen next week. The acclaim they
made it that they're not done going after the trio's titles. They want Billy
Gunn to have a one more title run Stinging Darby against the Gates of Agony.
I don't know if that's the plan, but it was sort of teas
Maybe tonight Chris Statlander is back. It looks like she's gonna be doing the
Open Challenge or continuing the Open Challenge for the TBS title and hopefully defending that
title on a regular basis. And Adam Cole hopefully has closed the book of
Jericho slammed it shut. Can't say for sure, but that's what it looked
like to meet tonight. Now they have what they are calling Championship Friday,
or as Tony Shirvani said at the very end of the show, Night of
champions that's what he said, but they're calling it Championship Friday on t NT.
Right, Rampage is still on TNT. I don't know it's been bounced
around so much, but it's on t NT. Rampage is back in its
regular time slot, believe it or not. I think they were this past
week too. But after all the weeks and weeks and weeks of preemptions in
different days, Rampages back at ten pm on Friday, and it's a quality
lineup. It doesn't look bad. They have Eleo del Vikingo is coming back.
I'll be calling his match. At a few weeks We got de Kingo
though on Rampage defending his Triple A Mega Championship against Commander and Dreleistico, who
we saw on the show tonight. We have Willow Nightingale. She's going to
be defending her newly won new Japan Strong Women's Championship against Emmy Soccer. Zach
Saber Junior is going to take on Action Andretti for Saber's new Japan television title,
and Katsuyori Shibata is defending his Ring of Honor Pure Championship against Lee Moriarty.
So we are getting some new Japan influence. You can tell it's Forbidden
Door season. We got some new Japan influence already starting up on Rampage this
week. That's a quality line right there. Some good ship coming up on
a rampage on Friday, Dynamite next week. As I mentioned before. Right
now so far, Jay White one on one with Ricky Starks, everyone's banned
from ringside, and Orange Cassidy defends the International title against Swerve Strickling. So
there you go. Let's take a look at the Twitter poll. We have
got seventy six percent of you giving this show tonight a thumbs up and twenty
three percent giving this show a thumbs down. Pretty good score. That's a
rebound from what I think that's a rebound from what it was last week.
Right, I remember last week what the number was, but I'm sure it
wasn't seventy six percent. At solom Monster on Twitter is where you can go
to vote. So we'll go ahead and do something. All right, let's
go through your super chats here. Thank you for all of the support,
each and everyone who donates. I sure do appreciate it, Taylor Cannon say,
Solomonster, glad you're feeling better. Thank you, Taylor. I appreciate
it. Not not one hundred percent yet, but much better than I was
the other night, So thank you very much. You know, I was
going to watch Raw, laid out to watch Raw. I'm gonna watch Raw
in bed. Five minutes. I lasted five minutes. Pass right now,
Raw really is? It really is just a great cure if you're having,
you know, issues falling asleep or anything like that. Not only did I
pass out within five minutes of watching that show, I slept for almost ten
hours. I can't tell you the last time I slept anywhere close to ten
hours. So I have to thank w W eight apps. That was exactly
what I needed, and I watched the show the next day. Silver Tower
with the four bucks Callus has always had good heat. I thought that said
something else. I remember back in ECW the crab would chant you suck dick
at it fun times. I'm trying to think if there's any other occupation in
the world where if you had the craw well, I guess there would be
one of other occupations people chanted that at you, you would know you were
doing a good job. Chris with the four ninety nine at the event right
now, everyone booed at cmpunk getting announced. Also could not hear a word.
Don Callis was saying, I wonder if they piped in the noises on
TV. Well, now, I mean if you're saying you couldn't hear what
he was saying. That's what I heard from a couple of other people too.
Apparently it was that loud in the building. I don't think they had
any need to pipe any think usually you could you could kind of tell.
And all I saw when they showed the crowd were people on their feet booing
the shit out of this man. Matt View happy to have you back and
feeling well, thank you, Matt, very nice of you. A Matt
burning kid. Christopher Bennett has been a channel member for thirteen months. This
is glad you're feeling better. Thank you for checking in on me. He
checked in on me on Twitter two. You're one of the good ones.
Brandon Walker has been a channel member for five months. Five in Kong,
Bundy would appreciate that. Jacob Donnelly again, thank you for the remode.
Earlier, Isaiah Duson with the ten dollars super chat had a crazy Monday.
The Walmart that I used to work at had a shooting. Welcome to America.
My mom was in the building and close to where it happened. Luckily
she got out without anything horrible happening to her. I'm very happy to hear
that. Glad that she is safe and understand why Will Osper I can't.
I can't imagine why will Osprey doesn't want to move to the US. I
can't imagine why Daniel Parker with a nine ninety nine te Keshta loves his Cinnabon
and a location put up a do not serve this man poster that is real
heat. Can't wait to watch Unhinged to Keshtah Scorp's abandonment rank every WWE title
from the best and worst. Look well, I think if you look over
my shoulder, you kind of know what I'm gonna put it. Numero uno.
I think you know Winged Eagle, Big Eagle, Undisputed, probably in
that order, and you know, every every other Ever since then, it's
pretty much been logo belts. I mean the spinner. I hated, hated
the spinner, even if it didn't spin. I just never liked that belt.
But yeah, people who grew up on that belt, they're gonna look
at that belt and go, oh, that's the best belt. It's not.
Ship never liked it, so yeah, I'd go Winged Eagle, Big
Eagle, undisputed, Silver Tower. Thank you again for that thirty dollar Bully
the Clown, thank you very much, Fire Panda, thank you. I
don't remember a sound of Legend for nine months. Bliss Fan punching the air
at the alex Lists News, Nick Grosso with the nineteen ninety nine Decent Show
fun Mixed tag. I think it was the best Terreya looked in a while.
Very happy. Chris stat Lander is back. I think she joins the
Homegrown Girls, and Taya joins the outcast, and is Don callis starting his
own faction. I don't think he's starting a faction. I think right now
it's pretty much just Takeshta. I don't, I don't. I don't think
he's starting an actual faction right now. I don't get that sense. You
mentioned the Homegrowns and stat Lander joining the Homegrowns. It's possible, but you
know, I'm wondering now that Jade has dropped the TBS title and she's gonna
go away for a while, if they're talking about some sort of character refresh
for her, I could see Jade Cargill linking up with the I mean,
she is an aw original, right They pushed her from scratch, from nothing
when nobody knew her. It would make sense for her to be part of
that group. Otherwise, what do you do with her? Daniel Parker with
the nineteen ninety nine I get people like monks, but his Terry funk light
gimmick is stupid. Daniel Seen and Claudio are better than him, yet he
gets that rub just sick of it. Well you better get used to it,
because he signed a contract that's going to keep him there through I think
twenty twenty seven, so he's not going anywhere. Thunder Force two thousand cm
Punk's returned to A and w on my birthday going to be quite the day?
Are you going to be at the show? Are you just sharing a
birthday with him? Or with his return? Dan Richard CM punk is the
new John Cena. It will draw money? I sure hope so, I
hope for Tony's sake it does. It all comes down to ticket sales and
pay per view buy rates. We'll find out. It won't take very long
to find out. Uh scorps abandonment thoughts on the right Back versus Goldberg retirement
match? And if you had to pick someone to face Goldberg for his retirement
match, who would it be and why? So? There is no rye
Back Goldberg retirement match as far as I know. Unless you've heard something new
in the last few hours that I didn't. Ride Back posted something on social
media I can't see because he blocked me. I think he's blocked half the
fucking world. But actually I don't. I don't know what. I think
somebody sent me a tweet of his or something, but I didn't even know
until earlier today. Apparently Swerve has me blocked, and I have no idea
why. I mean, I've I've certainly sung his praises quite a bit here
on these shows, so I have no idea, but anyway, so yeah,
barely, Rye bad Pot said something with like an aw logo, and
he said that he he challenged Goldberg to a retirement match right back hasn't wrestled
in like six years. I mean, please give me a break. As
far as who I think it should be, I said, if Vince McMahon
was going to give Goldberg a retirement match, bron Breaker would be the perfect
opponent for it. Goldberg against bron Breaker, they could do it at WrestleMania
next year. Ron beats him and he ascends to whatever, you know,
whatever is next for him, he can always say that he's the one who
retired Bill Goldberg, like Baron Corbin future NXT champion. Baron Corbin will always
be able to say that he's the man who retired Kurt Angle makes me fucking
sick. But bron Breaker, I mean, I watched that NXT Battleground show
and that spot where Carmelo Hayes did the springboard off the middle rope and Bron's
speared amount of midair was incredible, and I realized at that moment that bron
Breaker has the best spear in wrestling, the best spear maneuver in wrestling since
Bill Goldberg, and how some people are gonna go what about Rhino. Rhino
had a great one. He had a great maneuver too, But bron Breaker
does it better than anybody I've ever seen since Goldberg and his prime. It's
almost like he's in some ways the air Apparent in a way. Just he's
got that explosiveness about him. He reminds me a lot of Goldberg. I'll
take a bron Breaker Goldberg match over Goldberg and ride back. They're gonna make
Corbin the lone Wolf again at NXT. He can't be the lone wolf.
He's got no skullet. He can't be the lone wolf without the skullet.
Everyone everyone is, everyone is just you know, going nuts about this lone
Wolf ship. I'm just like, you're fucking kidding me. This is a
guy who has been booked like a fucking clown for how long now? He
lost the Cameron Grimes and what four seconds? And he comes into n XT
on day one and he's supposed to be competitive with Carmelo Hayes. Really that
sure? It doesn't speak well to Carmelo Hayes. I mean people think about
these things before they speak. I mean, you might be able to build
Corbin back up into something in NXT, but to just throw him into an
NXT championship feud? What is wrong with you people? Corbin's back, He's
back. You would think that this guy was like some some massive star back
in the day. I mean, he had his moments where he was entertaining
as the lone Wolf, and especially when he was healing at all the indie
guys. But get break. I don't know. I guess some people are
just easily pleased. Daniel Parker Sala Monster. Why the fuck is a squirrel
in my wall? Saloms squirrel? Delete delete, delete, Yeah, I
think he deleted himself. I didn't do anything, Matt like the song Chris
Miner with the ninety nine. I just lost my grandpa and he was the
one who got me into wrestling as a child, took me to Saint Valentine's
Day massacre, my first show. Keep your loved ones close and cherish those
moments. So very well said christ I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.
We're all we're all thinking about you, but it is important to remember
those moments. You get those moments, those are special. J Glow should
or will cmpunk get another title? Run? Will we get an mjfcmpunk program
this summer? We shouldn't. I would keep cmpunk as far away from that
title as possible. Right now, excuse me, I'm losing my voice.
I would keep cmpunk as far away from that title as possible, at least
for the time being. Hunters Hybrid Media. Let's hear an impression of what
Vince Russo has to say about the cmpunk situation. Bro. I would if
my voice wasn't still under the weather. Bro, Bro, I'm not at
my best. Bro. This cmpunk guy, Brow, The things I would
do with him, Bro. I hear he used to be a ladies man.
Bro. I would have him hook up with every lady on that roster.
Bro. Seawande says, go Braves, here you go. That's right.
I agree, Go Braves, go right into traffic. Andrew Lima,
have you ever lied awake at night and wondered who raised the briefcase on Steve
Aoston of the Ring nineteen ninety nine, No, because that's weird. I
did wonder at one time back in nineteen ninety nine, I wondered who raised
the briefcase, and then the next night on RAW, I realized it was
probably the Big boss Man, and then I never thought about it again.
I think you need to lay in bed at night and start thinking about other
things. Perhaps you could think about this lovely couple right here and what you
are going to get us when we register. We're going to register in a
few different places, and we will be accepting gifts very soon. I think
that's what you should lay in bed at night and start thinking about. Start
thinking about the happy couple. Jay Glow Ricky Starks, in an interview,
said he hates the Four Pillars gimmick, feels it is an f you to
the rest of the performers in the company. Do you agree? I think
I don't think it's that deep. I mean, if he feels that way,
he's he's certainly entitled to feel that way. But I saw the video
clip. I don't even know what that's from. He was on some podcast,
obviously, UM, I really don't think it's that deep. I don't.
I don't find it. Uh. Now, he's he's in the company,
right, I'm a fan watching AW. He's on the AW roster.
I don't find that to be anything overly offensive. These are the men who
were there from day one, and it's a gimmick. So they called them
the pillars. They made some T shirts to sell they had pillars on them,
and I, you know, I get what they mean when they say
pillars, but I don't see what there is to really be too upset about.
Andrew. Thank you, I love you too. Brother. Shout out
to common person. Shout out to you as well, punkhead Beth Phoenix too.
I believe a punk punk Back in the day, punk made the rounds
right. There was bath, there was Maria, there was wasn't there a
Lida? I think at one point there was. I lost track After a
while, I said, you know what, it is none of my business
what the guy do is think he was sowing his oats. Good for him.
Michael Darcy was at the show. Cannot hear don at all and after
the night was the triple Threat on Rampage. Overall, a great night of
wrestling. Swerve S probably blocked you because of shit, bro who knows?
Who knows? Everybody's so sensitive these days, Groovy Goose, do you think
that we will see punk promos akin to the ones from his indie days.
If he is a heel either way, I am officially I have officially gotten
my bachelor's. I thank you for the awesome content and groovy community. Hey,
groovy goose, congratulations getting your bachelor's. Bachelor's And what is it a
Bachelor of Arts? Is it a Bachelor of science? Are you an eligible
bachelor? Do you need me to play matchmaker? What's going on here?
Yeah? You know, based on that mixed reaction that you know, you
could talk about Punk maybe as a heel. It's too early to just assume
because of one mixed reaction to an announcement that Punk should go heal. Punk
maybe should go heal. But let's see what happens. Let's see how the
crowds take to him as the first few weeks before we make that decision.
Punk is a heel though, might be the way to go. But if
they're gonna build that whole show around him, they're probably gonna want him as
the top baby Bush. Daniel Parker chugs Army Bay Bay Cole's beautiful Worker,
get him away from jere Blow. Zachariah with the nineteen ninety nine Zachariah,
Thank you very much. I think Jericho should hang it up if his feuds,
his feuds are washed and repeat at this point. But one consolation,
he won't ruin a tag team like he did Ortiz and Santana. Dylan Hensley,
I started my wrestling training back in April. We've learned headlocked, shoulder
blocks, body slams, and now we're learning chops. Chops really hurt.
Yeah, yeah they do, yes, they do. You know what else
hurts? Running the ropes. Running the ropes hurts. As I've found out
recently at the Nightmare Factory, you don't do it the right way. Even
if you do it the right way, but especially if you don't do it
the right way, they will buck you up. Those ropes will eat you
a lot. Pillow versus pillow. Have you watched r R R? I
don't know what that is? R r R sound like a pirate. I
don't know what that is. I'm gonna assume no. Justin, Hessy,
glad you are feeling better. Justin, thank you very much. I'm glad
that I am on the mend here. I was miserable the other night,
so naughty delicious chicken with flavor. I will give Collision a Chance and Dominion
this Sunday, and I will watch Forbidden Door representing New Japan. Of course,
Naughty Delicious is a huge New Japan fans, so this is gonna be
your month. Then we got The g One coming up, so Naughty Delicious
is gonna be on cloud nine this summer. Joseph Brooks with the nine ninety
nine by herself on whose streak should not have ended more Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak
or gold Bird's undefeated streak? Also, who do you think should have ended
taker streak if it had to end? Well, Goldberg streak was going to
end at some point, it was just a matter of when. And I
always felt like him losing to DDP at Halloween habit would have been the time
to do it. Undertaker's different because Undertaker, I don't think that's Creek ever
should have been. I really don't. But if you were going to have
him lose to put you know, try to put somebody over, you know,
who should that person have been? You know at the time, and
they didn't have a very good match, but I mean, you know,
Roman, Roman reigns would make sense because Roman was the one they were really
pushing It's just that the bands they didn't want to see baby Face Roman reigns.
But a guy like Roman would have made sense. I mean, you
know, I mean, I can't think of anybody because in my mind I
never would have ended the streets, So I never really gave much thought to,
well it should have been this guy should have been that guy Roman would
have made sense. But the conditions would have had to have been very different,
because the fans would have just completely shipped all over that they already shipped
on him when he beat him in h twenty seventeen. An Undertaker had already
been beat at that point. You know what that is. That's that's a
good point. Bray Wyatt WrestleMania thirty one. You know again, if they
were insistent on the street being broken, I probably would not have had Bray
lose to the Undertaker. I wouldn't have had Bray loose to John Cena though
WrestleMania thirty. I mean, it's no wonder that Bray, you know,
felt that he needed a complete character and gimmick overhaul. All of his big
matches. He always lost, lost to John Cena, loss of the Undertaker,
lost to Randy Orton. I know people say wins and losses don't matter
anymore, but those people don't know what they're talking about. Wins and losses
are not the end all be all, But yes, wins and losses do
matter. And if you feel like they don't matter, it's because you're simply
not doing a good job of making them matter. Wins and losses do matter.
And when you lose, when you run your mouth and you cut promos
and you talk about how I'm gonna beat this guy, I'm gonna beat that
guy, and you go out there and you lose and lose and lose,
people are gonna look at you as a loser. So don't tell me that
wins and losses don't matter, because I hear that, and that's just coming
from piece's drivel, coming from people who don't know what they're talking about.
Juan Sanchez just got out of the show Man. It was fun. Biggest
moment had to be the heat that don callous Scotts. Also, did you
see the sign with all the is that a b Berkeley all the Berkeley on
it? No? No, I did not. I'm not even sure what
that means. Naughty delicious as I'll admit, I almost turned back into dried
chicken without flavor when I watched the Double or Nothing highlights. Thankful that NXT
WWE and New Japan prevented Todd Warner with the five Did you see the new
Fight Forever gameplay today? What a redemption for Eddie Kingston. I did see
it. Eddie Kingston looks he actually looked like he had a soul this time.
Eddie Kingston looks better in the gameplay than he did in that screenshot.
That screenshot was horrifying. I just laughed at all the people who were calling
all the people who were calling him because he calls himself the Mad King,
but in that screenshot he looked like King Kong Bundy. They were saying,
mad King Kong Bundy. I don't I just that just pop me when I
read that. That just bought me Mad King Kong Bundy. I still haven't
been told with that. R r R stands for Andrew Leema. I'm hurting
this week, But here's another five bucks for diapers for you and Alexa's new
edition. That's very kind of you. We both thank you. We are
both very appreciated. See that's the face I made when I learned the news
because I was not expecting this news. I would imagine that's the kind of
look that most men have on their face when they get the news that they're
not expecting. We're both very happy Sea Moon salt Ria Ripley is not a
good women's champion. She doesn't interact with any of the other women or have
compelling feuds with them, just squashes them. So that makes her a bad
champion in that she doesn't interact with any of the other women. I mean,
I'm not sure what that even means. I've seen her interact with women
in backstage segments. I've seen her interact with other women on the show.
She squashes them. She squashed Natty. What did you expect her to do
to go out there on Saturday and have a long, fifteen minute competitive match
with Natty. I don't know what you were expecting. I guarantee you the
next time she defends that championship it'll be more competitive. But if you're gonna
put her in the ring with people like Zelina Vega and Natty, Ria Ripley
should be running through them and destroying them. If Ria Ripley ends up in
the ring with Becky Lynch, if she ends up in the ring with Rick
Hell Rodriguez. If she ends up in the ring one day with Bianca bel
Air or Charlotte Flair, I guarantee it won't be a squash. You'll get
the competitive But well, I'm usually already have the mattress. Charlotte at WrestleMania
this year, that was pretty competitive to me. But I don't know why
you're expecting anything other than a squash when she's in there with people who are
half her size, or she's in there with someone like Natty who hasn't done
anything in years, whose main purpose there is to help get the other women
over. I would I would hold off on judging her title reign until they
actually get her some good challenges. That's not her fault. You can blame
Triple H for that and the wonderful creativity. Juan Sanchez also, I bought
the TNT replica title the Black Strap. Now I have five replica else.
Well, that's very cool. That's one more than I have. Naughty Delicious
says whenever Jericho is cooking, now turns into dried chicken. Silver Tower hope
CM Punk helped Collision. I want this to do well. I grew up
on WWE, but having an alternative to WWE is good. Of course,
having options is never a bad thing. You always want at least one strong
alternative. Trill Mexican three oh five. Hey Solo, thanks for telling me
on Twitter yesterday. Congrats on my twelve years sobriety. That meant a lot.
Hope you're having a great night, and I meant it too. It's
very happy. I think that's very cool and long may it continued. So
you were very welcome. Nick Grosso, did you catch Dark Side of the
Ring last night? I did not. I'm I'm still waiting for a link
to pop up somewhere. I do not have vice. I do not have
vice. So once it pops up where and I can actually watch it,
I will hopefully be able to do a review on the show on Sunday floor
let us hope and Wanakampo, did you hear McAfee take a shot at AW
on his show? I saw the clip, you know again, I just
think it's it was not the right time to be taking a shot at AW.
The same weekend that NXT, you know, had a show where people
took similar pictures of a mostly empty building, like, are we really going
to be slinging mud back and forth, like taking hot shots about attendance when
on the other show the attendance was pretty much you know, I don't want
to say it was equal, because I'm pretty sure AW had a lot more
people in the building than an XT did. But you know, again,
it's they rope off certain sections and you have half the arena is empty.
Nobody should be gloating about this past weekend except W for Knight of Champions.
Knight of Champions, by all accounts, was a smashing success for that company
over in Saudi Arabia. Otherwise, AW should not be gloating about the attendance,
which was not all that impressive as compared to past years of double or
nothing, and NXT certainly shouldn't be, or anyone as far as the NXT
troopers or fans should not be gloating about their attendance either, because it didn't
look all that impressive from the photos I saw either. I just think it's
just stupid. I think it's all very, very stupid. We had someone
who was it was Silver Tower, Yes it was silver Tower, gifted ten
more channel memberships. Look at all of these new members Now, look at
this rob Undead Silver Dollar nineteen eighty nine. Justin Bradley Bash Bash eight is
now a channel member. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, welcome, and we
have now I said the goal. What I say the goal was for tonight
for be the book of four hundred right, four hundred. Well, we
smash that. We smashed the goal, Guys Moreau and Moreau and MOREAUA what
can I say? Thank you for the fifty bucks man? Do you think
that there is more leeway towards WWE than a E W AW has its faults,
and there is valid criticism to the show, but it seems at a
large portion of the wrestling audience and mainstream media criticize AW for the sake of
it. There are certainly people who do that. There are certainly people who
will criticize AW because they just want to shit on it. But I don't
completely agree with that. I think that there are valid criticisms to the AW
product and you can state those criticisms. I think that it's absolutely fine if
you have criticisms with the AW product at the booking of the pacing of the
shows of Tony Khan state those criticisms as long as it's done in good faith.
You know, it's the people who just bash for the sake of bashing
that you can't take seriously because you know those people have an agenda, and
you can say the same thing about WWE. Like for me, any criticism
that I levy against WWE is criticism that I feel is valid. It's criticism
that I feel needs to be stated because I want to see improvements made in
certain areas. I want to see improvements made as far as the tag team
division, and I feel like they've made some. I want to see improvements
made as far as the women's division, which has been awful. So there
are certain areas where I will say that this company is having issues here here
and here, here's why, here's why this sucks, here's why this needs
to be fixed. And oh, by the way, here's this great stuff
that they're doing with the bloodline, or here's this great stuff they're doing over
here with Imperium and with Gunther. But you have people, You will always
have people on both sides of the fence, whether it's Team WWE or Team
AEW, where any criticism is not accepted, any criticism is taken as a
personal shot, like an arrow to the chest. They take it like they
bleed. They bleed for their company. I find that so it's it's bizarre
to me, and it's pathetic. I find that very sad people who take
it so personally that any negative slight and they come back with insults or they
have to insult the other company. Or you're a hater, you're this,
you're that, Your channel sucks, your show sucks, your opinion sucks,
You suck. Why Why because I stated the obvious, because I disagreed with
you, because I didn't suck on the teat, because I didn't lick the
boot. I mean, those are the people that I just can't take seriously.
So, but criticism is fine as far as these different companies is concerned.
Just just do it in good faith. It's pretty simple to me,
Silver Tower. Doesn't matter if you are an aw or a WWE guy,
support your favorite wrestling company. We need more packed buildings for wrestling shows.
Packed buildings are certainly more fun. They're usually louder. Hey, Chris Manson
has been a channel member a Sound of Legend for twenty five months. Halfway
through the year. What has been the match of the years so far?
For me? It is MJF against Brian at Revolution. Hmm, well,
I've got my own level running list of the Match of the Year contenders so
far. I was quite fond of the Wrestle Kingdom match with Omega and Osprey,
so that's that's gonna be way up there. The Iron the Iron Man
matches is fantastic from Revolution, but there were a bunch of matches I really
enjoyed a wrestle Mania this year. That's a hard one. I don't know.
I don't know. We're not at the midway point yet. Let's wait
until the end of June, right end of June, middle of June.
Then we'll be at the halfway point. We're not there yet. There's a
lot of contenders though, I think I already have on my list at least
probably at least fifteen matches on there already. We're not even at the halfway
points. Ah he doctor Dakota Scorpio coming in with a super for chat here.
I want to see AW crash and burn like the one hundred win Mets
last season and postseason. I joke, uh, Bony with the five bucks,
you can be the WWE fan, you can be the AW fan.
Just know the real wrestling fans are at the NWA. Oh that's right,
that's right. Remember Billy Corgan told us this week that if we don't want
to watch Tyrris, we're not real wrestling fans. As I said online the
other day, I said, well, guys, it's been a great run.
It's been a it's been a great run. It's been you know,
jeez. I mean, for me, what's it been thirty five years?
Thirty six years? I had a good run. I guess all right,
we smashed to be the booker. Goal enough of this. Let's book some
matches, ladies and gentlemen. It is now time to be the booker.
It is time to be the booker. I think we went oh for three
the other nights. What was that? What was that? Was the double
or Nothing review or the I've been doing so many reviews I lost track.
It was either the Night of Champions review or the Double or Nothing review where
I went over three. So we've we've got to up our game here,
and then I'll get back to your super chats. Let me see those be
the booker emojis. If you are a Channel member, you can throw up
those B two b's in the chat as we kick things off here on the
men's side. For those who don't know, I'm sure you all know,
but if you don't know, we do a men's match, a women's match,
and a tag team match, and I will tell you that I updated
tag team be the booker. I made some changes, I got rid of
some things, I added some teams. So we'll get to that one here
at a second. Hey, there's Vincenzo Vincenzo McMahon on the screen right now.
Hey, doctor Dakota, thank you for the super chat. We begin
with Jane E Cornette. Look at Yoko zoonas thigh. My god, oh
god, Jim Cornette. Oh, there could be some fun ones here.
I think Orange Cassidy's in here somewhere, and a Russo's float around in here
somewhere. Jim Cornette gonna go one on one with David Arquette former WCW World
Heavyweight Champion, David Arquette, Dewey, David Arquette and Jim Cornet. I
think even Jim Cornette would give that the buzzer. I think Jim Cornette would
would do a lot more than give it the buzzer. You probably beat me
over the head with his tennis racket. All right, let's book of women's
match here. We'll begin with Tory formerly of DX Tombstone. Tory. We've
landed on her a few times, landed on Tori a few times here and
be the book. Tori gonna go one on one with rowdy Ronda Rousey.
What do you guys think? I'm on the fence with this one, Ronda
Rousey? And now you know what, now at a moment of weakness there,
but now I can't. I can't do it, can't do it.
Let's go to other tag teams now. So, like I said, I
made a few changes here, maybe we'll land on some new teams. I
can't. We can't go over three twice in one week. We just can't
do that. I can't accept that. Begin with Lax. Well, this
is like the original Lax. Here we got homicide, and we got her
Nandez Homicide and her Nandez the Latin American exchange. Who oh who will they
begin to get to the ring with drumroll please? The Lax taking on l
O D with Animal and Heide and Reich, Oh my god, oh my
god, oh for three the actually amazing goom far Jerry Mahler loves Gomfar and
Maicent. Oh hell goo Far. What's going on? What's going on?
What's going on? How come nobody's here? Nobody's here here? The booker
Hello, Hello, Hello, anybody? Anybody? Anybody? Hello? Hello?
Hello? All alone here? Oh for three It's terrible. And that
was Darth Bullsy with a fifty dollars super chat. Orange Cassidy is very popular.
He would have gotten over in the nineties. It is obvious. Oh
that's gonna that's gonna get you some hate. I don't disagree with you,
by the way, I actually think that gimmick would have gotten over. We're
talking about a period in the nineties where salam Master could Philip Bingo Hall who
said that Matt View, I'm looking at you, Brick Darth Bullsey. Though.
Look, you're talking about a period in the nineties where people were cheering
for a guy with a mannequin head. They cheered for a guy with a
mop. I think Orange Cassidy would have gotten over too. I agree with
you all these people who think, oh my god, what has wrestling become?
Orange Cassidy that never would have flown in the nineties. I got news
for you. He would have gotten over in the nineties. I'm not saying
he would have been pushed as a main eventor but I think he would have
done well. Hey Seth, thank you. I appreciate that. In Ballsy,
thank you for the fifty bucks man. That's awesome. Let's see here.
I missed a few, so I'm gonna go through all of them.
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. Silver Towers. Silver Tower says,
be the booker hates us all. I don't know. It's like it's
revolting against us. I don't know what's going on here. Doctor Scorpio says
how many wrestling fans does it take to screw in a light bulb? Not
much because most wrestling fans aren't that bright. I actually agree with that one.
You're not wrong based on my experiences on social media. You're not wrong.
Naughty Delicious says, I'm the real father of Alexa's baby. Let's go
on, Maury and Doctor Scorpio. We went one for nine. We went
we went one for nine to end be the booker for May Jesus? Did
we really? I think you're right. I think we did. We went
one. We went one for nine. Fit right? In on the Mets.
Oh boy, well, what can you do? All you can do
is turn around and do better than next time. Right, that's it.
As long as we hit the goal, We'll try again on Friday. Friday
Night. We got smacked down. Friday Night. We have the one thousand
day celebration for Roman Reigns coming up on SmackDown, and we have two Money
in the Bank qualifying matches La Night and montez Ford and then Lacy Evans against
Zelina Vega. So I'm picking La Night and Zealina Vega to move on.
La Night can't even qualify for Money in the Bank. I just don't I
just don't know. I just don't know what the fun Triple A shes doing.
I like montez Ford, but not against La Night. So that is
coming up on Friday Night. And Silver Tower knows how to close out the
night with styles because he just gifted twenty more channel memberships. Oh boy,
look at this, look this whole look at this list. Steve. Steve
is convinced that Silver Tower is John Gotti, is Professor John Gotti. He
may be. You know what, I think he's bested John God. I
think he killed John Gotti. Is what he did. He buried him out
back. It's like, we don't need no stinking John Gotti. We got
Silver Tower. He's the new Don. Silver Tower is the new Don.
We gotta kis the ring man. Well, welcome to all of our new
channel members, by the way, and all your your access to all these
wonderfull emote Hey, Steve, let's let's start putting our heads together. You
and me should start thinking about some new emojis to add to these. We

to all of those, so enjoy. I will be back with you on
Friday night. I am feeling better, thank God, so we'll be I've
on Friday, of course, episode eight eleven of the Sound of coming up
this Sunday, as we do each and every week. Thank you for all
the support, Thank you for all the he still got super chats coming in,
but thank you for all the support and all the messages. It means
a lot to me, it really does, and especially the other night,
I really didn't want to miss the raw stream. I felt bad about that.
I hate I just hate missing streams, but believe me, it had
to be it would have been a mess. If I was on here on
Monday night, it would have been an absolute mess. What is this?
What do we got here? I saw something? Was that James Cooper.
James Cooper just dropped a nineteen ninety nine super chat here. It is James
Cooper. Thank you, Solo and all the odds. You'd do great to
make these streams enjoyable. Solo is objective and has good reasons for his takes.
Proud to be a listener for ten plus years. Keep up the great
work and have a great night. Look, get Richie rich over here dropping
all this money on me. Hey, I just want you to James,
thank you very much, man. I appreciate that. I don't mean The
Rock a rock. You rock, And I just wanted you to know that
Darth Bullsy with a one hundred dollar supertest getting the yes treatment here from the
sound of crowd, Darth Bullsy with a one hundred dollar bomb. People do
forget that comedy was a big part of pro wrestling. That is one of
the reasons why it was so popular, especially when The Rock was still famous.
One of those reasons comedy Stone cold beating on Vince was always comical.
The best shows of WWE, most were funny. It's a good it's a
good point. And somewhere along the way over in the more recent years WWE,
it's almost like they forgot how to do comedy because a lot of their
comedy was very hit or miss. But you're right back in that period,
a lot of it was comedy base. That's a very good point. You
know, comedy done right in pro wrestling is very entertaining. It's when comedy
has done wrong in wrestling that it just, you know, it just ruins
the show. So that's a very good point though. But hey, Bullsy
Man, thank you very much. Bullsy coming in hot, look at Bullsey.
Yeah. We got people from all walks of life here on these streams.
Man. I hear from people who listen to the you know, the
main podcast, from all parts of the world, all backgrounds Facebook. It's
amazing. It's amazing the reach that that you can have on here. Thank
you for hanging out with me here on a Wednesday. This has been a
hell of a stream, guys. You guys have blown me away. And
it is June first. This is the way that we want to start off
the new month. This is how I want to start off the month of
June, so you guys killed it. Be well, stay safe and we'll
come on back here. I hope you'll be here with me on Friday night,
even if you don't watch SmackDown. Come on back Friday night. We'll
do it all over again. Until then, take care, guys. Thanks
for the love.
