Wain's a blockbuster for a coliseum,
Hey Renning media watching during spring, Gray

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.119
Honkey talks, man, it just
pinned Jake. When I sat back and

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.600
thought, damn, it's in life, Gray got a robby man faint and

4
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.399
half black. Couldn't sense of that
since opposite I had more spack in the

5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.839
jack. Fans would all screen for
the Pokadadri slick for him the team with

6
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.440
Boss manor fem watch us in the
back talking to Jeanie, and I Arrestip

7
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.559
in the window, creating a fiend. Looking around. Now you won't find

8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.600
its hopper. It's like you found
gold while looking for copper. Because I'm

9
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.479
a sexy boy. But here's the
show stopper. Chairman dug deep and we

10
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:47.280
back to hopper. W Yeah,
no good wet hop hop up up.

11
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:56.200
Send in your request for the hopper. Maybe the chairman will bless you.

12
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:03.400
Don't stop up with your own show. Maybe maybe about sitting in your mom's

13
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:15.519
prasemen watching fake sports. Don't stop
them, don't don't stop them, and

14
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:22.439
we're back. Lapsed fan wrestling podcast
a w Revolution in twenty twenty courtesy KLF

15
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.519
Hopper Boss you're ready to strap in
and take in some unfamiliar environs. I'm

16
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.120
ready to a revolt, gonna revolt
here from the Windester in Chicago, Illinois,

17
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.120
February twenty twenty. As we've talked
about and the stage has been said,

18
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.719
a couple of dark matches has already
been referenced. Penelope Ford and Britt

19
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.719
Baker defeating Riho, the inaugural a
W Women's champion in Yukosakazaki in seven minutes

20
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:49.359
and thirty six seconds whatever and four
your favorites and uh Stuke Grayson and even

21
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:55.280
Luno of the Dark Order beat Frankie
Kazari and Scorpio Sky who Stuke Grayson and

22
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.719
Evil Uno? Excuse me, Evil
Uno, Yes, it's you're talking to

23
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:09.080
me. That's It's what I always
say after having the Rattlesnake pasta. Uh

24
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:15.000
So we start with this green color
scheme like Martians welcoming us to an alternate

25
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.000
basic show starts in an alternative reality. Your physical matter and energy are about

26
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.240
to go on a journey and take
you on a journey of a lifetime as

27
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.840
you were about to enter another dimension. Based on what you were saying earlier,

28
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:34.240
this feels like it's right up fucking
h Kenny Omega's totally wheelhouse. It

29
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.800
feels like the thing you hear at
the beginning of a ride at Disney,

30
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.360
you know, right, it's yeah, when you're waiting in line, it's

31
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.759
the video that's playing on the screen. Well, you're sitting there strapped in

32
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.199
and like a video terms out a
reality, you'll fly in. Ye kind

33
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.439
of weird. I don't know what
they thought, why they had to theme

34
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.639
this thing. Just call it something
and let's go. You know, it's

35
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.759
a revolution, okay, no,
And we are in a digital revolution tonight.

36
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.240
A storied friendship turns sour with betrayal
is set to explode. That in

37
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.800
a reference to m J F Verst
Cody and it says, the revelation brings

38
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.520
a revolution, like salivation brings a
revolution. This is a miss. This

39
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.560
whole thing is a miss. This
is I'm trying to be w W and

40
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.800
I don't like it. Like voicing
over at the beginning, They don't do

41
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.039
that anymore. They just start where
we were yesterday is not where we are

42
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.039
today, and it's not where we'll
be tomorrow. Tomorrow will be in a

43
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:37.360
different realm, a realm, a
realm made up of the legends of today.

44
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.240
Oh well, at least it's clear
now. They show Kenny and Hangman

45
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.639
and Kenny being asked if he's worried
about Hangman at all and his reliability,

46
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.000
and then Hangman blew up. In
the second interview segment that they did to

47
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.240
build up the match, Yeah,
they talk about Jake Hager's a undefeated MMA

48
00:03:53.319 --> 00:04:00.000
star from Belatoor. They show footage
from Bellatore as if sorry ten or eleven

49
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.439
and by this point he never he
never had a fight after starting with the

50
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.680
AW but he was someone very loyal
to Jericho. Jericho has a story about

51
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.520
how when WW is in the Middle
East, one time Jericho found himself in

52
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.879
a situation where Jake Hagar saved his
life. I don't recall all the details,

53
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.199
but that is something that affixes Jake
Hagar to Christ Jericho permanently. Where

54
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.199
he goes Hagar goes. Hagar debuted
on the very first night of AW remember

55
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:29.959
that week, Remember that a special
show for that And and how like I

56
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.959
mean, is he is he still
there? He's still there, but he

57
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.639
does never nothing? Is he still
like Jericho's lackey? Well, they just

58
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.480
kind of had a implosion of the
Jericho Appreciation Society where every member of that

59
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.480
grievances and walked off on and besides
Govara, So I would say, as

60
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.959
of like two months ago, yes, but as of right now, I'm

61
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.439
not quite sure what he's doing there. I say, Okay, I got

62
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:58.240
him. I've hurt That's all I
gonna tell you. They showed Dustin Rhodes

63
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.319
saying I'm gonna look you square and
you're fucking e and beat you to the

64
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.519
end. And then they show Nyla
Rose, who says, and I quote,

65
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.199
do you know what happens when I
get hungry? I don't know,

66
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:15.439
Nyla. I can take a guess. The richest prize in the game is

67
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.680
on the line. That's what happens
when I get hungry. Lot. They

68
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.399
have Moxley saying one day they will
all come to my funeral just to make

69
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:26.439
sure I stay dead. That's a
that's what Vince said in part one.

70
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.959
I believe that I wouldn't even need
to do that, because I'm going to

71
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.439
make sure that he's dead before the
funeral. John Moxley, he's trying to

72
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.639
tear down the system, while Chris
Jericho was looking to build an empire and

73
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:43.560
rule in Army Stop No More Scripted. John Moxley is trying to tear down

74
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:49.240
an empire while Chris Jericho is solidifying
his legacy on top of the mountain.

75
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:56.120
How many people need to be simultaneously
cementing their legacy and pro wrestling at once?

76
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.360
She sus Christ And on the other
side of the mountain, Cody Road

77
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:06.160
just sitting there and he's saying,
where can I go? Where I can

78
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.920
be on the clouds above. Boxley
says, I am Napalm Death and I'm

79
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.040
thinking, can't wait to see the
gate returns for this title run. Then,

80
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.240
so they cut to the wind Trust
Arena, flames going up. Jim

81
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.839
Ross is on the call and starts
by saying, on a cold night in

82
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:28.560
Chicago, we welcome you to the
sold out wind Trust Arena. Still he

83
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.240
sounds good. He still has that
base in his voice which he lost going

84
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.920
through all his health challenges and things. He's he almost never yells anymore.

85
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.800
I think more out of concern they'll
lose his voice than anything. Honestly,

86
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.560
Yeah, yeah, probably, But
this is before that point. Justin Roberts,

87
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.839
is your ringing out, can any
can you know? Can is there

88
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:53.240
any person in the world at least
in wrestling. Who who who suffers more

89
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:59.439
but just can't It's gonna sound awful, but just can't die. Like even

90
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.759
Bobby he got to the point where, you know, it was like he

91
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.680
just died. Well Jim, he
tweets like pictures of his surgery scars and

92
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.800
he's a fucking mess. Like this
guy has had more health problems and more

93
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.839
tragedy and yet he still lives.
I mean, he's he's honestly, he's

94
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:23.519
like, you know, he's so
true Jake Roberts in so many ways,

95
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.759
like but without the demons, you
know, Jake's Nake Roberts should be dead.

96
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.639
It's pretty amazing. Yeah, how
you can have what Bray Wyatt has

97
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.959
gone and Luke Harper's gone, and
yeah, people lived to ninety and they

98
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.959
seem like they're on death store for
forty consecutive years. I mean, Jim

99
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.720
is just a legend at a precious
commodity and I hope he never dies.

100
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.639
But you're right. I mean,
it's like we've been we've been standing on

101
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:53.040
watching a decline for a while now, and w has hitdled it delicately,

102
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.759
I think, But he's pretty much
like he'll do you know, a couple

103
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.000
matches for a big show. He'll
do a guest spot on the Collision Saturday

104
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.920
night show. He doesn't do anything
on Dynamite anymore. Excalibur has become like

105
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.319
the main voice of the promotion,
and that's probably just as well because Jr.

106
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.319
Is like a cantankerous old guy now, Like he'll go on the air

107
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.839
it's like, why they doing that? That made no sense? Like he

108
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.600
tries to do a little bit of
guerrilla that was a bad cover, but

109
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.439
he does it in very inopportune moments
about talent that really isn't isn't served by

110
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.560
pointing out that what they're doing in
the ring doesn't make anyone check the script

111
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.360
on this show? What the hell
is going on this storyline? Pretty much?

112
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.519
Yeah, that's pretty much anyone who
wrote this dialogue exactly. Yes,

113
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.120
he'll say shit like that exactly,
And it's kind of funny for a little

114
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.080
while. Then after a while it's
like, can we get somebody in the

115
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.559
chair that actually's trying to get us
excited about what's happening instead of Tony Schivani

116
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.919
still there? Oh yeah, and
he's great. He's like the ultimate booster.

117
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.080
He he just springs enthusiasm for whatever
it is. He works there at

118
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.080
a production capacity as well. He's
not just a he's kind of like he's

119
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.799
very much a team member. So
Justin Roberts introduces Desiree Chalice, who does

120
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:00.759
the national anthem you pronouncing. I
don't know, I don't know what this

121
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.120
was. It might be a Cody
influence. I don't imagine them doing this

122
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.840
now. Cody is like he's big
on like the new Americanism. He even

123
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.279
did a disastrous promo one time when
he's going to wrestle up a British boxer

124
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.039
named Anthony Agogo about how like for
all of our challenges this is durring,

125
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.639
like you know, the pandemic and
all the Black Lives Matter protests and everything,

126
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.679
and he tried to do this promo
where it's like it's okay to still

127
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.240
love America. People were like just
shut up, like stop, like no

128
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.159
one, no one was turning to
you for like a this. I think

129
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.679
it was actually the start of a
warm kind of turning on him as far

130
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.720
as the crowd booing him, although
there wasn't none. We don't, we

131
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.960
don't, we don't turn to the
American nightmare when we're already living through our

132
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.279
own nightmare. That might be.
It cut to a hoodie wearing aw fans

133
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.480
with a grin during the anthem that's
always nice, and then they kind of

134
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.240
do a nice set off the pyros
as she's singing and bringing it to a

135
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.720
crescendo and people are putting white and
red and blue on their phones and waving

136
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.440
it. In the credit, they
cut to Steve Austin's brother, Rick,

137
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.360
software designer. He's in the audience. He's sing along Rick Austin. Guy.

138
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.399
I don't know I made that up. There's a guy bald who looks

139
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.639
yeah, bald, goatee and he
looks like a fucking software design appreciate a

140
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.279
freeze frame of Rick Austin on the
Twitter. Thank you very Tony shows she

141
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.799
knocked it out of the park and
we have video ramp floor. That's a

142
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.559
good sign. Yeah, yeah,
I like that. I'm always a big

143
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.240
fan of the video ramp. It's
one of the that's one of the few

144
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.440
technological advances that I am supportive in
pro wrestling. And his gay pointed out

145
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.600
in our part one, you can
see the C two B two logo and

146
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.840
the turnbuckle padding. Dustin Rhodes makes
his way down to the raindow, his

code mud not that part Kangang Kangang kangang

00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:52.120
they call him legendary, Yes,
the legendary. So does longevity equal legendary?

150
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.519
Don't forget what Advince lapsed. Vince
say at the first starcast, we're

151
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.080
really gonna believe this Cody Rhodes guy
when he all when he all told us

152
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.000
with a straight face ahead of all
in that Billy Gunn is a legend.

153
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.120
Yeah, no, No, Billy
Gunn is not a legend. Dustin Rhodes

154
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:16.440
not a legend. He's he's he's
not Nod Carter, He's right, you're

155
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.559
not a lot more longevity than anyone
expected, and a great performer, a

156
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.879
terrific progress no, not about it, but not a legend. To be

157
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.600
a legend, you have to you
have to have been a money maker,

158
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.559
have to have done something legendary,
right, and I mean as far as

159
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.320
he hit the ball out of the
park with gold dust, but I mean

160
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.039
for a year maybe, yeah,
not doesn't count. It's just like it

161
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.519
wasn't gold dust. Never if gold
dust had made it to that next level

162
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.279
and became like a real world title
contender maybe, but that never happened.

163
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.039
Jake Hager gonna hurt. I got
a getting the ring get hurt. That

164
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.120
was great. Thank god they made
all for him Jr. Of course it's

165
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.320
over. Danny Hodge Perry, Oklahomas, he lay sight on the Oklahoma Jake

166
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:13.279
Hager. They they they they run
down the the accolades of Jake Hager like

167
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.559
you were talking about him then and
then he starts making out with some broad

168
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.919
there that his girlfriend or his wife
or something to play. Yeah, well

169
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.919
here this and then this all happened. Jake Hager flight a background see in

170
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:30.840
Oklahoma as well as you know.
J R. Set the record books kids

171
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:37.799
by an Oklahoma suoner wrestler. He
was an All American. We used to

172
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.159
record at MMA undefeated two and up, played so far a couple of books

173
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:56.559
stoppages. Why big boy, Okay, I guess everybody gets fired up their

174
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:09.080
own light up there. Speak for
yourself. Jim, you know, you

175
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.440
know, you know, I mean, you know he is. It's kind

176
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.799
of I found him to be kind
of a little uh hypocritical of JR.

177
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.519
To B to be you know,
kind of going, you know, critical

178
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.960
of of of of Jack Swagger's little
love trist there with his with his lady,

179
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.720
because you know the moment that Tony
Shavanni said, Oklahoma, sooner Jr.

180
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:37.600
Busted two nuts, I'll be there
house at Fair. I was mistaken.

181
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.440
I'm glad to put that clip because
Jake Hager's record is not eleven and

182
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.600
I think that's eleven and one is
Lashley's record. I'm thinking of his is

183
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.000
three and uh three zero and one
with a no contest. So there we

184
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.240
go, there we go. That's
more like him. So yeah, uh,

185
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.399
Hagar's going to wrestle gold dust with
a boner after making out with his

186
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.559
wife. That's good. If only
Ahmed had thought of that defensive g nineteen

187
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:05.279
ninety six, I know, he
should have made out with a woman fucking

188
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.440
blown his load and then it would
have been okay. Absolutely, Excalibur sounds

189
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.799
a little different back then. He
was in the color roll and he doesn't

190
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.960
have that boisterous speed reading of ad
copy thing yet under his belt, So

191
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:20.000
that's something I noted. I was
actually really blown away by how different everybody

192
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.200
was just three years ago, you
know, like how different MJF looked and

193
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.879
sounded how different Even the Bucks looked. You know, it's sure. I

194
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.440
mean, I know that they're always
associated with Racida, California, because that's

195
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.480
where pro Wrestling Guerrilla was, But
the only thing Racita is their hairline on

196
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.879
this particular in this particular moment,
I know, are they you know again,

197
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.240
I'm I asked, when are they
changing their name? I know?

198
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.759
When are they no longer young?
But they're approaching the rapidly approaching that age

199
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.720
where long hair is deeply inappropriate.
Well again, they're also they're also definitely

200
00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:00.360
in the age where they're no longer
young. Absolutely to say nothing. They're

201
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.320
they're they're the middle age Bucks.
And when are we when are we commenting

202
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.279
on that? It's it's an interesting
question. What do we at? I

203
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.559
mean, they get I guess they
get a little bit. You know,

204
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.399
Matt's thirty eight, so he's got
two years left. And then we got

205
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.039
to start thinking about changing the name. Okay, all right, Dustin Rood

206
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.440
says, I'm here to fight Jericho's
bitch. What is it? Okay?

207
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:31.039
What is he at? The insurrection? And then JR. Apologizes for for

208
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:37.240
that, And the question is actually
the real question I have is how long

209
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.480
is it going to take Jr.
Before he calls Jake Hagar Jack Swagger.

210
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:56.080
Well here probably for Hagar's you if
I call him the swagger, fame on

211
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.399
me, Jim. He's so cranky, you know. So yeah, why

212
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.799
not the new names? Damn it? I almost different names. Damn its.

213
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.120
Dustin gets it started here at Revolution
back Suplex by Hagar after they explode

214
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.279
in about a fisticuffs to start the
contest. Jr. Says, in the

215
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.159
early going, it gives you the
indication that Hagar thinks he's got this thing

216
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:21.080
under control. Ye, Dustin is
fifte Wow. The floor into the rail

217
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:26.159
goes Hagar. Recall uh, they
recall Cody roses match with Dustin and mentioning

218
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.399
how that is as good as he's
seen perhaps in decades. Were there that

219
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.720
was pretty epic that one's lost to
history. You know, that was a

220
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:41.960
fucking amatch yep a w missing that
soul, in my opinion, the soul

221
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:47.200
of that which is missing totally.
I mean that's again I I that's Cody

222
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.639
pretty much, and and and it's
pretty much you know, somebody that was

223
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.960
that committed to unearthing the the real
the real core of what wrestling was in

224
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:02.120
the seventies, I feel like,
you know, for reinterpreting it of course

225
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.279
for the modern age, but chasing
this matchup with Nick all this at the

226
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.200
first it's all it's like it's a
category of match that they don't really have

227
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.279
anymore in their buffet of offerings.
They've replaced it with, right, you

228
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.680
know, six person brawls around the
building. Right, Oh god, I

229
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:21.559
can't the fucking you know, the
stadium. I can't stand them. I

230
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:26.759
hate them. Stop stop all right, I can't stand them one bit.

231
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.839
They're so annoying, they're so stupid, they're so grotesque, they're so unnecessary.

232
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.839
I'm sick and tired of Like they're
kind of a shortcut in my opinion.

233
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.680
It's like, yes they are.
You know, what's going to be

234
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.079
wild and people are gonna remember it
as like a crazy thing. But at

235
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:42.839
the end of the day, it's
like kind of lazy to just throw that

236
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.359
out there. Or just at the
end of the day, man, brother,

237
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.160
or we're talking about dude, you
know, we get a dial this

238
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:52.559
thing back in brother, you know, at the end of the day,

239
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.799
talking to like sway in the morning, at the end of the day,

240
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.000
Dude, I got this thing wide
open. At the end of the day.

241
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.480
End of the day, brother,
you know we're talking about you know,

242
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:03.920
we gotta talk about exactly. You
know, we're at this level right

243
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.279
now, dude. We gotta get
to this level at the end of the

244
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.160
day. It's for some fetanel lollipops. At the end of the day,

245
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.039
dude, you know, I just
want to fucking be high. Speaking of

246
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.839
wedge, Dustin breaks the count backet
In, Dustin clothes lines Jake Hager out

247
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.880
of the ring from the other side. Higger ducks and backsup plus his Dustin

248
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.000
under the apron, and we know
that's the hardest part of the ring.

249
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.720
Indeed, it's a running Referey Abrey
Edwards checking on Dustin like he's uh because

250
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.359
Bell has really been wrong. Jericho's
bitch chant breaks out, Jake does a

251
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.880
basic cover and JR. Says,
that's the amateur background in it. A

252
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:45.599
cover is swagger married to uh to
Kevin Bacon's wife Kyra Sedgwick. Yeah,

253
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:51.279
she kind of looks like that.
And then JR. Says, a very

254
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:55.880
unique snap mayer, if I may
say, and what is a unique snap

255
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.359
mayor to me? That would have
to be like some backwards thing. They

256
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.799
discuss how liver shots force all the
organs to shut down. It shuts down

257
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.759
your body trying to protect the liver. Yeah, but what about the onions.

258
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.440
Jake is doing a basic wrist lock, and JR. Says he's using

259
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.440
the things and what about the martial
lights? Wait what he does the basic

260
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.079
wrist lock? And Jarr's like,
he's using the things he learned in martial

261
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.000
arts. Yeah, hold that fucking
Jack Briscoe used to do. JR.

262
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.640
Says, the weaknesses an amateur turn
mm a fighter is the wrestler's striking defense

263
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.119
is somewhat suspect, as Dusted is
getting absolutely clobbered, Right, But also

264
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.759
I liked that, Like that he's
basically saying, how how that that the

265
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:41.799
you know how wrestlers lack in strikes
when it comes to the mixed variation of

266
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:48.880
martial arts and so like that could
be Swagger's downfall despite having wrestled pro style

267
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.000
for years in the WWE, right
where he did plenty of strikes, right

268
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.920
where striking defense was never a problem. Yeah, right, exactly what about

269
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.039
all those years there, JR.
You're still talking at the time, like

270
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.839
Hagar's gonna fish in b pawns fight
him and wrestles simultaneously. So that may

271
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.559
been the vision when they hired it. Yeah, you know, you know

272
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.720
when when you can, when you
can kind of determine the outcome and also,

273
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.599
you know, not necessarily hurt your
body. Uh, in an extreme

274
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.319
way. I can understand why he's
not going to do any amim. It's

275
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.400
to be a bit more appealing.
Yeah, he was side a belator which

276
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.000
was on Paramount, which isn't you
know, the same thing as Warner Brothers.

277
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.279
I could see if it was like
a deal where some guys on Spike

278
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.720
back in the day would fight and
wrestle it lashly. Yeah, but it's

279
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.079
not if they're two different networks.
I don't see the lasting too long.

280
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:37.400
Jr. Also talks about all the
different ways training and lifestyle things that that

281
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.720
gold dist has made. Here doesn't
changed his body. He's focused war on

282
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:47.359
Cardiovasca produced me. He's living better, he's eating better. He just overall

283
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.119
in a better system of general.
Hell, you gotta change with the time,

284
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.200
dright, JR. Im sure you
do. In other words, he's

285
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.960
lost weight, that's right, he's
thin. Remember he was basically what it

286
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.240
is, right exactly and hooked on
pills, right, And I always loved

287
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.680
that about Jr's like, I don't
know, it's like, no, no,

288
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.200
you basically he was told, dude, you gotta fucking lose weight,

289
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.559
gonna die. It's like, I
mean, you know, this is the

290
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:12.480
same thing about fucking Big Show and
Ship, you know, back in the

291
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:15.759
day, Like, oh, he's
working out differently, he's taking care of

292
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.759
himselving dierent away. It's like,
no, no, no, he just

293
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.319
stopped eating five whoppers, Okay,
Instead he's eating like he's not smoking an

294
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:30.200
actual cigarette on his way to the
room, right exactly. It's herbal so

295
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.960
exactly. He's vaping on the way. That's one thing we haven't seen yet,

296
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.240
the vapor and wrestler, oh think
would slapped out of him. I'd

297
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.200
like to see that. I would
imagine Orange Cassidy would do that at some

298
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.519
point, I know, you'd be
candidate. Be amazing. He gets so

299
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.000
depressed over losing to Moxley that he
starts vaping in middle school bathroom. Really

300
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.599
be really fucking funny. They keep
up about the liver shots. Jay says

301
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:53.079
that knee in the liver neighborhood and
he says he used to live and live

302
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.359
the liver spots. What about the
liver spots for that matter. Dustin catches

303
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:00.640
a hagar on the apron, throws
him into the corner with a hard larry

304
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.039
it drops him, gets a pep
talk from the wife, does a Jake

305
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.119
Hager until Dustin kicks him. Jr. Says, enough of the bread and

306
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.720
milk talk. I'm thinking, really, Jim, you really, are you

307
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.559
really done with it? I doubt
it last last my check. Do anything

308
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:21.440
happened to do with flour and and
dipping that flower substance in milk seems to

309
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:23.880
be doing well for Jay's coming from
a guy who keeps a loaf of wonder

310
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:30.240
bread on the desk just in case, barbecue sauce. Fucking he's got,

311
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.640
he's got like a he's got a
little bag, a little Carrie bag like

312
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:40.640
underneath the announced desk, which is
a loaf of white wonder bread and fucking

313
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.200
and barbecue sauce. And he just
drizzle a little bit on the home.

314
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.960
Dustin blocks the slap of just of
Jake Hager's wife and then rubbs some red

315
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.640
paint on her face like it's a
kiss on her And I hope and then

316
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.960
yeah, there's just some sexual misconduct
there against Kyus Edgewick. And we haven't

317
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.839
even right, haven't even gotten to
the chorus lide for Jericho song back in

318
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.880
Dustin with an uppercut from his knees, Excalibur says, from that unnatural angle,

319
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.119
I'm thinking, Okay, yeah,
that's a way. If you ever

320
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.319
see that uppercut live, it's the
most fake looking thing. The guy has

321
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.920
to sit there bent over for it
seems like thirty five seconds. Yeah,

322
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.640
right, he's fucking like lays on
and then it lays on his back and

323
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.720
he can clearly see the guys beneath
him, and yet he can't move.

324
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:22.400
Bulldog and a snap power slam on
the charge by Rhodes gets to Dustin is

325
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:27.480
from Austin, Hagar is from Tyson, and the referees from Michael's. JR.

326
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:30.119
Says that second Saturday in October,
he's always there at the Cotton Bowl

327
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:37.799
for OU, so it's coming up
well humble. From understand, the OU

328
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.720
coach is even gonna pretend to want
to talk to Jr. And reveal certain

329
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.559
strategies ahead of the season. He's
also from what I from JR also mentioned

330
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.160
too that he is. He is
charging the batteries to his drone, so

331
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:55.559
he's ready chop luck to the knee. Tony says, that could restruct what's

332
00:23:55.559 --> 00:24:03.160
that? There's a quip. It's
a clip, I'll say, How's an

333
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.839
audio clip? Is what it was? Right? I fucking the moment,

334
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.000
the moment that he does that,
he does that to the chop block.

335
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:18.160
I always think of what a big
deal Vince McMahon made of the road dog

336
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:25.359
clipping Razorman's knee at the ninety five
Royal Rumble. That was a clip.

337
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.440
That's where that's from. That's where
that's from, some funny deep cut Jesus,

338
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.200
that was a clip, like like
you fucking has if he learned that?

339
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.359
Oh? Is that what this call? They called a clip? All

340
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.119
right? I want to I want
to really in football they call that a

341
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.960
clip? All right, I'm gonna
get they're done. Wayne does that?

342
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:47.880
I want to say, that was
a clip. That's knowledgeable information. Hagar

343
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:49.240
tries the Hagar bomb, which is
the Vader bomb, but the feet up

344
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.039
from Dustin and a roll up gets
too. But then Hagar lifts and dumpson

345
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.240
like a rick stand er suplex.
Uh then does a running Hagar momb for

346
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.960
the two corner corner. Hagar Larry, it's Dustin in the corner. Jr.

347
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.680
Calls him an athletic freak of nature. Excuse me as Hagar hits a

348
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.240
great gut wrench doctor bomb for two. Aubrey holds up the count though,

349
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:14.759
and Jr. Decries how Hagar hadn't
pinned him correctly. It's his new thing.

350
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.799
Hagar licking the side of Dustin's face
in the corner they mentioned. I

351
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.960
don't know why he's doing. Tony
Sister, I don't know what he's doing.

352
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.319
There's no blood there. Jared says, maybe it's flavor. I swear

353
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:29.000
these are things they're all saying.
I can't eat chocolate anymore. On the

354
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:33.759
charge, he's backdropped over the corner
and hits his face on the steel steps

355
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.400
on the way down or Jared says, basketball. Excuse me, family,

356
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:45.440
a basketball, you know? I
yeah, it was. It was a

357
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:51.079
little, I don't know, a
little perfect for me. The way he

358
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.799
hit his head on the way down. Yeah yeah. Road sets up the

359
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:59.119
shattered dreams and Hagar gets loose but
still gets kicked in the nuts. Dustin

360
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.359
hits the Code red with one leg
dangling, but he still tries for a

361
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.720
cover gets too danglings and nut covering
the shoulder cross on breaker by Dustin because

362
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.680
he's MMA. That's right, the
big impactful, big dramatic sit down for

363
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:17.640
it Jr. Reminds us of,
gives us a reminder of Dustin's family background.

364
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:23.359
Fast so supportive are the grandson of
a plumber doesn't want the same ring

365
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.599
to it? Really doesn't the son
of a plumber grant It means there's like

366
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:34.279
a generation mixed there, like you
know where you know the fact that that

367
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.599
that that Dusty was the son of
a plumber and then made good. You

368
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:44.160
know, that's the idea. And
as much as I hate that whole fucking

369
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:48.799
thing, Dusty is like saying,
I I my dad was a common man

370
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.319
and I and I and he allowed
me basically to achieve greatness, whereas you

371
00:26:53.359 --> 00:27:00.759
know, Dusty achieved greatness and his
eldest achieved less greatness. Well, I

372
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.440
mean, he's a pro wrestler standing
in the middle of a wrestling ring.

373
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.559
How about we mentioned that his father
was a multi time world champion instead of

374
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.079
his grandfather was a plumber. No, his grandfather was a plumber. Anything

375
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.279
about the way he grew up.
I was gonna say, exactly like the

376
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.079
grandfather's life and occupation has got nothing
to do with Dustin whatsoever. It's not

377
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:26.960
like the fucking grandfather raised Dustin.
I'm the grandfather of a cobbler in Portofino

378
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:33.640
that I never met my grandson.
I'm I'm the grand I'm the grandson of

379
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.119
a drunk, an abusive man.
Show victory and the rest. There we

380
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.559
go. So he tries the armbreaker
like I somehow made good on that,

381
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.119
So there we go. He breaks
the arm free like no mercy that on

382
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:51.640
the cross arm breaks and then Hagar
counters with an ankle locke h why the

383
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.880
hell you would purposely engage in a
submission exchange with a pro and a fighter.

384
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.240
I don't know. Dustin is in
the under arm or gloves. He

385
00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:02.039
climbs the corner, gets free,
Hagar almost goes flying into Aubrey Edwards and

386
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.400
low blows him. It is that
kind of little detail that just would make

387
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:11.319
the whole thing different if you did
think like that. You know, oh,

388
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.279
this guy's an MMA guy, a
trained MMA fighter. Maybe there are

389
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.559
things I shouldn't do even though this
is a pro wrestling match. There are

390
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:23.680
things that I shouldn't do because it
wouldn't make sense, because I don't have

391
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.880
mixed martial arts train. I'm going
right into his wheelhouse at a time when

392
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.359
I'm in control of the match,
right, but we've got a counter into

393
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.839
the ankle locks. There you go, I guess blow by Hagar. Hagar

394
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.319
screams to the sky. Does the
headed arm choke so anti climactic? He

395
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.440
was trying to make that a thing
where you do the the standing headed arm

396
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.880
choke, and Rhodes drives him into
the corner several times to break it up.

397
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.880
Doesn't work. Hagar digs in the
knees and squeezes the standing choke.

398
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.359
Dustin falls to a knee and then
Aubrey calls for the bell as Dustin falls

399
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.240
into a heap, out cold and
the May style just doesn't work in wrestling.

400
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.799
To do a submission like that just
doesn't. In forty seconds, it

401
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.000
was that long. Wow. J
Kgard feats Dustin roads submission the opening contest

402
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:08.519
of a w Revolution twenty twenty.
Gonnam I gonna work show the world your

403
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.799
worth, show the world what works. Can't hold him all on the surf.

404
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:17.079
He leaves his wife up the steps
to celebrate. They get in the

405
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.759
ring, can't get him hurt,
can't get a hold on a smurf.

406
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:26.960
I'm a king of this earth.
I'm gonna steal your pockets. I'm gonna

407
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.160
put your name on a docket.
Oh well, that's sensitive. That's a

408
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:36.400
sensitive area for dustin. I'm gonna
put your name in a docket like you

409
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:44.519
got booked by Jimmy Crockett. Okay, and then I'm gonna go tell you

410
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:48.559
to fucket. I got it.
That's a QT Marshal does representing the Nightmare

411
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.160
family as he comes out to help
Roads to his Feetcause he's recovering from that

412
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.079
knockout choke and they do an ad
for a March twenty fifth and the first

413
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:03.759
Blood and Guts. How sad map
because because because you know, it was

414
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.400
like it was so perfect, it
was such a perfect thing. I remember

415
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:22.599
being so excited because I had already
at that point I was ready for uh

416
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.680
we hadn't done no, we hadn't
done it yet, but I was.

417
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:30.359
I was already kind of at the
beginnings of of the war games, the

418
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.480
art of war games, and I
was like, this is great, like

419
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.440
this will be a great thing.
We can we can follow up, Like,

420
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.400
actually, the idea was that we
would go all the way up to

421
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:47.880
this, we would finish with this
and then whatever the w one one was

422
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.599
in twenty in twenty twenty at that
at the the NXT pay per view,

423
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.640
that was kind of the idea that
we would build up to doing that live

424
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.720
call and we would have this as
part of it at the end of the

425
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.799
the other ones and then you know, all went to hell. Amazing,

426
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:08.559
isn't it. Yeah that it is
the best laid plans. So they ran

427
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:11.839
out on the card and it's pretty
stacked something for all their main guys.

428
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.440
This is before the Rose roster was
so bloody bloated. Now, like if

429
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.880
they had an impact player on there, he would be on the pay per

430
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:21.759
view or she would be on the
pay per view. They had a you

431
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:23.319
know, a role there were there
are a lot of superfluous wrestlers that filled

432
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.799
in dark and everything in Elevation and
and had matches on TV, but weren't

433
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.799
necessarily pay per view level guys.
And that's great and you need those guys.

434
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.839
But this is before it was to
the point where like, wait a

435
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.160
minute, they've got like twelve people
that could make this pay per view better.

436
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:37.920
And they're not on the show because
there's so much in every match.

437
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.039
Eight ten Man's and Ship because they're
trying to get as many guys on the

438
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.680
pay per view as possible. Before
that special shout out to the German announced

439
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:51.079
crew for some reason, and they'll
go over to them Gunter Zoff and Company.

440
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:52.319
They say oot a couple of times. That's about all I can tell

441
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:59.880
you, Avara. I'd been fighting
over a skateboard with a darbl And in

442
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.160
weeks leading up to this thing,
and they're all looking ahead to April twenty

443
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:06.400
nine when AUW was to make its
debut in Houston, Sammy Gavar's hometown,

444
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:07.359
trying to make that a thing,
and I can only laugh hearing that.

445
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:12.400
Yeah, and now a Derby short
film occurs, of course, where he

446
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.640
moonsalt onto a skateboard that has Sammy
written on it. Wonderful. He comes

447
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.480
to the ring, we realize that
Darby is six seven and one in his

448
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:25.519
aw career. I'm pretty sure they
stopped the career long records and now they

449
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:30.759
just do like singles record this year, but I maybe I'm wrong about that.

450
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.000
I don't pay attention anymore I don't
even think they show the records honestly

451
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:36.440
on the pay per views. I
don't think they do. They just show

452
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.200
the Twitter handle in the name Wow. And that's supposed to be a big

453
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:42.720
differentiator, right, We're gonna have
scores and rankings and who goes for the

454
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.039
belt's going to make sense? No, of course, like everybody else,

455
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:50.319
they just give up on that because
it requires a level of control over booking

456
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.079
that the fucking rascals and pro wrestling
will never allow you to have as the

457
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:58.960
boss. Well in that and also
just you know, attention to detail.

458
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:01.119
Well, yeah, you can all
the details in the world, but wrestlers

459
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:04.440
are gonna do things to piss you
off. They're gonna get hurt, They're

460
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:06.559
gonna not be able to fallow through
in your plans. You're gonna have to

461
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:10.559
plug people in who aren't ranked.
It's it cannot work because wrestling is too

462
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:16.480
busy trying to ruin things before they
can consummate. Right, exactly, that's

463
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:21.519
what wrestling is. So here we
go Darby versus Gava. It's a very

464
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:24.440
short skateboard ride from the ramp to
the ring for Darby Allen, so it

465
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:30.599
ends up being a anticlimactic entrance for
him. Get my favorite impanada coming out?

466
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:37.000
Absolutely, how about a wonderful running
suicide dive before the bell? Sure,

467
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:38.839
and this guy, I don't think
anybody should do it for their health,

468
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.279
but if you're gonna suicide dive,
do it like Darby Allen for Christ's

469
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:47.839
sakes. Yeah, unbelievable. He
does put the suicide in suicide. You

470
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:51.559
saw the London show. You see
him jump on the fucking casket off the

471
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.720
top rope. What the fuck is
this? Seriously, I really don't know

472
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.640
what his fucking problem is, Like
he's gonna stop. It's unbelieved he's causing

473
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.519
He's causing problems for me and everybody
else. Sun dropkick into the rail goost

474
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:05.720
virus. How he's not dead yet
I don't understand, or it's just some

475
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:07.280
rethly seriously hurt. You know,
I've never even heard of him having a

476
00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:10.760
very serious injury, and he's been
doing this since he was in Evolved,

477
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.599
before a w even existed. Getting
thrown off the top rope in a body

478
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:20.480
bag where he can't see anything.
Fucking nuts, really crazy, sidestepped on

479
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.000
the charge, does a flying one
foot kick to the face. Very nice

480
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:27.880
hits the wall. No one hits
the wall at Ringside quite like Darby Allen.

481
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.360
I mean, this guy throws himself
over. Jr. Puts both as

482
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:35.280
being just in their twenties and being
a key building blocks for aw We see

483
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.119
at Ringside the Jurassic Express, which
was still a thing back then. Not

484
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:42.559
just Jack Perry and Lucasaurus, but
Marco Stunt, who was who remember him?

485
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.920
He was like extra small, He
was like five feet tall and he'd

486
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.880
do all kinds of wild time.
We saw him at both all In and

487
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:53.360
Double or Nothing if memory serves he
obviously he didn't really impact me. Remember

488
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.400
that made that Battle Royal that started
the show that Bully Ray was in where

489
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.440
there was the little guy that was
tossed that was eliminating a hund people in

490
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.679
surviving really small now Ye nope,
So that's why he probably doesn't work there

491
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.840
anymore. Ye wonder how they got
those seats by the way out. Sammy

492
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:12.760
is draping the rail and Darby tried
a suicide dive but he came up short.

493
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.039
His foot hit the ropes. Oh
yeah, Lucky didn't take him.

494
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:22.199
They made a big deal out of
that too. On commentary again here his

495
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:27.760
back heel actually hit the top rope
and that stopped his momentum, didn't stopped

496
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.400
his heart from the beating. If
you don't do that, Darvy is gonna

497
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:37.000
compete. Jim. Thanks Chaff.
By the way, I don't know if

498
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.199
you knew this or not, but
uh, Sammy Guavara is the love child

499
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.480
of Adam Scott and Chas palmon Ary. I know Adam Scott. No,

500
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:59.880
it's a good one. Chaz Okay, the guy from a Bronxdale. Yeah,

501
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:07.400
that's fucking incredible. You put them
together, they fuck and then you

502
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.800
get Sammy Gulvar squirting out. If
Darby Allen's back heel hit the ropes,

503
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:20.000
has he turned back heel yet?
Sammy chucks the skateboard in Derby's face?

504
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:28.559
Does that? Does that qualify as
a heel turn? If? If you're

505
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:32.639
yeah, if you're if your heel
causes your direction, if you if your

506
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.920
heel gets caught and causes a change
in direct direction, to change in direction,

507
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:44.880
is that technically gets Sammy chucks the
skateboard at Derby's face, again,

508
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.800
proving my rule that tossing a blunt
object at someone's face always works in pro

509
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:54.920
wrestling. It it will always get
a reaction something something hard the ring,

510
00:36:55.079 --> 00:37:00.760
like their announcer's chairs when they throw
those at Rice. Didn't who get injured?

511
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:04.440
Someone? I read someone got injured? Right, someone get injured recently

512
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.840
because of that? Yeah, I
don't recall. Well Xavier Woods, right,

513
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.760
didn't he gets well? Get they're
worried. But he wasn't. Oh

514
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:13.599
oh, he wasn't injured. Okay, say I was fine, but it

515
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.519
looked like he I mean I thought
he got Yeah. I thought they reported

516
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:20.239
he went to the hospital or something. There needs to be more polar parts

517
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.920
in wrestling. Word like trash cans
and things are flying through the air,

518
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.840
like a fight at a Popeyes or
something. You know, yes, yes,

519
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.480
yeah Popeyes? That man that places. Jeez, you walk in into

520
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:32.639
order food and you're getting into fight. Good luck. You can see Dan

521
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:36.800
Lambert in the front row before he
became a character on AW television chacking in

522
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:38.719
the matches. Sammy sets up a
table on the outside, Darby's on it.

523
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:42.719
Sammy climbs the ropes and does the
loco hand gesture like I can't believe

524
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.880
I'm about to do this. Eddie
does the six thirty splash, busting the

525
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:51.800
table on the floor. Jared says, that's aw. Get these twenty somethings

526
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:52.800
in the ring doing what they do, and they believe in their heart it's

527
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:58.119
the right thing to do. That's
that's Jim's endorsement. Okay, I know

528
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:00.199
it's not the right thing to do, but they believe in their hearted is

529
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:06.360
watch them take the risk. That's
what matters. Claus's right. And when

530
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.000
Darby gets in the ring the bell
sounds. We realize the bell hasn't even

531
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:13.719
sounded yet. Nope, nope,
So running beside Uni before Dan O'Brien even

532
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:17.320
came into the organization by Sammy Gavara, that gets too stand. Sammy stands

533
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:20.880
with his back on the throat of
Darby, which is on the rope,

534
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:24.400
and at the count of four before
the disqualification, Moon salts to break the

535
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:28.320
pressure. I like that, a
little bit of flash to break the hold.

536
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.199
Yeah, just kicks the rope in
Darby's face. Darby grabs the gory

537
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.360
special and bites the hand of Sammy
Gavara, dropped down in jacks and cheese

538
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.440
on his fingers. Food. You
are arm bar bending the wrist is Sammy

539
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.639
Gavara. Sammy reaches with the ropes
and Darby ties that, oh no,

540
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:45.400
it's Derby, sorry that has the
food. You are an armbar on.

541
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:49.320
And when Sammy Gavard tries to use
his free hand to reach the ropes,

542
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:53.079
Darby adjusts and ties that arm up
as well. Great so Gavar is forced

543
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:55.480
to use his foot to break the
hold to the floor. Sammy darks in

544
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:58.719
the ring hot shot, Starby on
the top goes to the top rope.

545
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.400
Darby on the apron now and there's
a double foot stomp from Sammy Gavara.

546
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:05.559
Darby goes down onto the apron hard. He's dragged to the center for the

547
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:07.519
count of two. Sammy loads the
skateboard and the ring. Darby charges and

548
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.880
it's a code red for two.
Jared says that one used to be automatic

549
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.920
to crying the days when moves like
that was the finish. What's the code?

550
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:19.719
Which one is the code red?
That's like, uh, you know,

551
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.480
Zelina Vega does it. Others do
it where you jump over the guy's

552
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:28.119
back, tuck your the Canadian destroyer, not really the Canadian destroy your heads

553
00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:30.159
between the guy's legs in the code
read your legs go under his arm pits

554
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:36.280
and flip them over. Oh,
I see Ray, does it hown't you

555
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:37.519
guy? The smaller guys do.
It started with amazing red. That's why

556
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.800
it's called the code red. Nice
I think, I think code red.

557
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:47.800
I think of fucking u Craig Pittman
arm bar. Well, Darber has had

558
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:52.199
that one on a minute ago.
He keeps saying that he said code red

559
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:54.480
twice. I'm like, oh,
I don't remember anyone calling the fucking arm

560
00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:57.760
bar the code red. But okay, next time I hear a code red,

561
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.760
I'm gonna be like, what it's
an arm breaker, fucking Craig Craig

562
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:07.039
Pittman. It's so great. So
when the guy kicks out, Jared goes

563
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:08.719
that one used to be automatic,
and Chavanni says, the athletes have changed.

564
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:14.280
That's why you can kick out of
big impact moves. The athletes have

565
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:17.360
changed. That's right. I mean, while Scalabar are talking about coupon codes,

566
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:24.760
uh, Sammy's still favoring those ribs. Tony says, and undoubtedly referring

567
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:29.960
to JR. And actually weality,
I gotta I gotta cupon code for for

568
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:37.000
for for for for nanty storage.
You guys under cupon code percent draft kings

569
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:42.599
on Fisher Party made Good Draft Kings
dot Com Guess Guess who's gonna win?

570
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:47.840
Three multiple Twitch questions play along in
home, hold on, Hold on Cover,

571
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:58.079
Deep Cover. So again, Sammy's
still favoring those ribs, Chavanni says,

572
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:04.480
undoubtedly, referring to Jr. And
actually Sammy shoves off the top leaks.

573
00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:14.800
Jair comes up with a slice of
bread and barbecue sauce on its Oh,

574
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:22.280
you're sitting behind Jim in the crowd
at the announced position, you just

575
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.920
see like sworts of barbecue sauce go
up like a guys are from in front

576
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:28.400
of his body. But if you're
sitting in front of him, you turn

577
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:32.079
around, you all you see just
like just his you know, a halo,

578
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:39.760
a halo of barbecue sauce around his
mouth like it's circle. That's funny,

579
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.760
like a child watered halo, like
a cat. He just saint a

580
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:47.960
fucking bunch of blueberries and it's sucking
all over their face. He looks at

581
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:58.880
you as if he's sad. What
exactly are you judging me? Even though

582
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:04.880
my gotee looks like bur it ends
right now, It's like it looks like

583
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:10.320
a fucking fucking put my mouth in
a mud in a puddle of muddy.

584
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:19.000
But enough about all row what So
Sammy shoved off the top, leaps up

585
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.800
top though in one fluid motion,
and goes on one leg because Darby tries

586
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.559
to grab his leg to disrupt his
balance, but he lifts one leg and

587
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:29.239
stays up top of the other,
and then Sammy sends him flying with a

588
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.880
Spanish fly off the top rope.
That gets too I hate that move,

589
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.039
but that should have finished. Agreed, if you're gonna do it, I

590
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:37.880
really hate I hate that move,
but honestly, at that point, that

591
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:42.119
should have finished. W chant top
buckling exposed. Nice monkey flip by Darby

592
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:45.440
to Sammy hoop. Anyone who thinks
that anyone who thinks the Spanish fly is

593
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:50.280
a good move should just fucking kill
himself. I couldn't agree more. It's

594
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:55.679
so hopefully so stupid. Think about
think about the amount of power that you

595
00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:01.000
have to have to be able to
not only if the person with one arm,

596
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:05.920
but also flip them backwards, like
nobody is going to let you do

597
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:07.559
that to them, right. It's
it's one of those moves which this is

598
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:09.920
to me, is always the litmus
test if it's a good pro wrestling move.

599
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:14.280
If it looks like it requires more
work on the part of the person

600
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:15.360
taking the move than the one delivering
it, you should not do it.

601
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:20.000
Yeah, this is one where it's
all on the front. The guy's moonsalting,

602
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:22.320
but he's moon salting in a way
that's completely disembodied from the move.

603
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:27.639
Like I'll tell you what. It'd
be one thing if he had the guy

604
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.159
like in a belly to belly type
move and then landed on top of him,

605
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:35.239
Like I could buy that, But
but the fact that it's really rely

606
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:38.920
on the fact that your arms are
interlocked like a rock bottom, and yet

607
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:43.880
you're supposed to like you have no
control over that maneuver. That guy should

608
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:45.719
move salt Old guys should not front
flip at all. He should just like

609
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:50.599
fall down right fucking exactly. You
land in your head, try to do

610
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:53.480
the move. It's like four times
more risk to you trying it. It's

611
00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:57.679
it kills you and the guy.
The guy wins. It's such a stupid

612
00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:00.320
move. I mean not only that, like I wouldn't even just I just

613
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:01.320
like go ahead, back foot,
I'm just gonna stay right here. Hate

614
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:06.440
it so much I can't always hit
it even since Joe Ellen, Joe Maximo

615
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:08.280
used to do it the Sat Twins. I used to hate it, then

616
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:14.079
I I have never I've never liked
it, just makes It's never made any

617
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:16.280
fucking sense to me. Top Buckling
at you know is they do a nice

618
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:19.960
monkey flip where Sammy, instead of
just flipping landing on his back, does

619
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:22.239
a full rotation so his face hits
the buckling. Yeah, all right,

620
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.639
it's that, and then a great
slide behind and a flipping stunner by Darby.

621
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:29.159
Then he goes to the top and
hits the coffin drop for the one,

622
00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.920
two three, Darby Allen Pin Sammy
Gavara in five minutes here at aw

623
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:36.760
Revolution twenty twenty. Definitely a glimpse
of guys they would be featuring for years

624
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:38.599
to come into this day. But
the problem is we're three years on and

625
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:44.679
they're still the future. Yeah,
they've had title shots and stuff, and

626
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.159
Darby had a good TNT title run. Gavaras messed around in some TV and

627
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:51.639
main events and stuff, But for
the most part, both guys are where

628
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:54.199
they were. Let's let's not forget
too Yes, they're the future, just

629
00:44:54.320 --> 00:45:00.360
like uh, just like uh Marcus
bag All was a Rookie of the Year

630
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:05.760
for like five years straight. Resolutely
same thing. Jay Hager comes out and

631
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:08.159
retrieved Sammy Gavara as part of the
Jericho Inner Circle at the time, as

632
00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:12.519
Darby prepares to swing the skateboard,
Adam Jared's Darby's best is yet to come,

633
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.559
no doubt about that. They're missing
that sometimes I feel like on Dynamite

634
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.880
in particular, in any show he
doesn't commentate, there is gravitas when Jay

635
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.039
or endorses a young guy. Sure, that's kind of the flip side of

636
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:25.199
him being you know, cantankerous about
you know, modern wrestling on the body

637
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.719
of the actual show and calling out
logical holes and things. Is that when

638
00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:31.719
he does endorse somebody, you tend
to believe it. He has protected that

639
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:36.000
credibility over the course of his career, thank God for all his faults.

640
00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:38.559
Next up tail the tape for our
tag team match. This is it,

641
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:44.679
the Young Bucks versus Omega Page Finishers, Meltzer Driver versus the Buck Shot and

642
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:47.559
the v trigger the Buckshot v D. I'm like, what the fuck is

643
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:52.920
this even mean? This is not
even English. Tony likes the Omega page

644
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:55.760
finishers more than the Young Bucks finishers. That's no surprise considering against the Meltzer

645
00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:00.400
driver. The Meltzer driver they do
a package. Page says, we're still

646
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:01.599
cool. I'm just going to ride
alone for a while. This is him

647
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:06.320
sort of distancing himself from the elite
back then doing his moody walking away from

648
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:10.400
the group. The Bucks were upset
that Page was involved in like blind tagging

649
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:14.440
and kind of pulling the rug out
from under them. And they do a

650
00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:16.719
picture with all of them outside a
cracker barrel, which is their favorite restaurant

651
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:21.039
to eat out on the road,
and they see that whole thing unraveling the

652
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.039
cohesion that used to be with these
four guys and Kennyan Page later go on

653
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:28.239
to win the aw tag belts on
one of the dynamites. They shot on

654
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:30.800
board one of Jericho's cruise ships.
If you can believe it, those those

655
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:35.159
are some unique episodes. You can
see their hair blowing in the Caribbean breeze

656
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.599
as they saw that. Says,
I'd be lying if I said I didn't

657
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:40.760
see us holding the tag titles by
now here in AW. When I said

658
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:45.159
we'll have the best tag teams in
the world in AW, I thought we'd

659
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:49.480
be as is your territory. Yeah, and that was definitely a thing.

660
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.199
I mean, they jobbed immediately to
a private party, a team that went

661
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:57.920
nowhere and had injury problems, but
honestly very little. Yeah. I think

662
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.199
that was also a big mistake with
the company. As much as I don't

663
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:05.320
as much as I don't like them, for the most party, they should

664
00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:07.920
have been tag champions of their own
company from the beginning. That was the

665
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:09.920
drawing card they were. They were
the drawing card. I'm with you.

666
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:13.239
I mean, I think and I
still feel this way. It's like and

667
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.679
I'm with you on the Jericho thing. I think it could have gone a

668
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:17.400
lot longer, and it was a
good choice for first champion. I didn't

669
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:21.360
realize it until it started to happen
and play out week tweek. I was

670
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.119
like, this was a good choice. But I always thought from day one

671
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:28.480
that keny Omega should have been the
world champion and the Bucks should be the

672
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.960
tag champs, and that should be
the way things were until someone came along

673
00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:37.880
whose calling card would be the guy
who took the belt from the beating heart

674
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.039
of the company and that would make
him an instant megaheel, and then they

675
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:43.880
chase it and maybe they don't get
it back and then someone else emerges to

676
00:47:43.880 --> 00:47:47.039
take it off him instead. They
just kind of went thing about things all

677
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:51.800
back. They fucked around a lot. Yeah, they they were so afraid

678
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:55.000
of being criticized as executives who put
the belts on themselves that they honestly made

679
00:47:55.039 --> 00:48:00.639
decisions that went nowhere for like a
year and a half. Almost Cody not,

680
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.119
you know, disqualifying himself in world
title contention. You can file that

681
00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:07.559
under the same thing, you know. Yeah, it was all it was

682
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.400
all just really weird. Like I
was like again, you know, I

683
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:14.199
was, I was a fan.
I mean, I thought it was weird

684
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:17.679
that they didn't put themselves in the
number one spots. But then at the

685
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.400
same time, I was like,
you know, especially the tag thing more

686
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.599
than the championship is what really I
was just very surprised at because it took

687
00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:28.199
them years before they gave themselves a
tag time, right, Yeah, they

688
00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:30.239
did, because they'd never seen the
time. It never seemed right because they

689
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:36.400
were so they were so dedicated trying
to get other teams established in those early

690
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.159
days, and then FTR came in
and that was kind of like a diversion

691
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:43.239
feud that wasn't really about the Belts
as much. Yeah, it's it's been

692
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:46.000
awkward all along in that regard.
And I think, you know, the

693
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:49.519
initial thing about the Bucks is not
just the people who love them, but

694
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:53.320
the people who absolutely hated them,
and they never utilized that if they were

695
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:57.360
the champs the whole time. People
that hated a W could hate watch the

696
00:48:57.360 --> 00:48:59.840
shit out of it, you know, Yeah, right, they're watching a

697
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:05.800
W to find the Holes and these
guys who who launched this incredibly successful guerrilla

698
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:07.400
promotion and they're not even on the
show, and if they are, they're

699
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:14.960
getting beat and it's like, it's
not it's not leveraging. Yep. I

700
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.440
feel like So that was why there
was such a sensation on the indies.

701
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:22.880
It wasn't just the positive buzz they
were getting for how they were hustling massive

702
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:29.199
money, working independently and starting a
retail and a merchandise operation that that that

703
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:31.559
putting massive money in their pockets compared
to what most us any guys could do,

704
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:36.960
But it was also people so mad
that they were getting recognized for that

705
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:40.039
and for a style that pissed them
off. That also led to them their

706
00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:44.440
matches being the subject of conversation,
even though it wasn't hardly on a big

707
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:47.679
television platform or anything right, never
had that in aw so maybe they shied

708
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:52.280
away from it. Maybe they couldn't
take that at that level. But Kenny

709
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:54.320
being pulled in two directions is the
story here between Adam Page and the Bucks

710
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:59.800
and Pages bragging about winning the championships
before the Young Bucks did, and of

711
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:02.440
course that rubs the Young Bucks the
wrong way. And they said, you

712
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:05.320
know, we're the ones that put
you on our show. Being the elite

713
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:07.280
made you a star, Adam Page, you were just a job or and

714
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:08.760
ring of honor, and we brought
you to this level. And Adams,

715
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:12.519
is the first time I accomplish something. You want to take that away from

716
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:15.800
me by reminding me of how it's
all thanks to you. So Page is

717
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:19.519
taking everything very personally, and then
he also takes very personally the question of

718
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.360
whether Kenny Omega can trust him and
a bit of a sit down interview thing

719
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:24.320
that we've already referenced that they did
in the bill to this thing. Page

720
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:28.679
is a big I'm done guy.
You know the I'm done people. Ye,

721
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:31.119
people who were just like I'm done, I'm done it, You're done

722
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:34.880
with what exactly. One of the
guys just walks away because he's done.

723
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:38.840
Yep, he's that, you mean, John mock punk, I'm done.

724
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:44.719
I'm done. What are you done
with? Are you just because you're not

725
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:47.960
winning the argument? While you're done? Done? Okay, I'm gonna beg

726
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:51.599
you to stay You're done. Yeah, I guess what. I'm not going

727
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:53.000
to beg you to do anything.
I'm actually going to beg you to go

728
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:57.599
keep going. Omegas that it goes. Maybe I should not trust this guy.

729
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:00.159
So they're building this to a boil, and I don't know. It

730
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:02.840
was good. It was well told, it was well thought through. It

731
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:07.599
kind of looks a little hokey watching
it back three years later, the dramatic

732
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:12.199
interplay among all of them, it
kind of kind of lose that cohesion.

733
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:15.719
Doesn't feel as authentic anymore. Not
to say they hate each other, but

734
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.920
because they don't. They're still thick
as thieves and actually all agreed to resign

735
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:23.920
with aw this year in concert and
keeping that pact of sticking together. But

736
00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:27.519
really, oh yeah, yep,
that was the thing they said when they

737
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.239
came in and stuck to But I
don't know, it just seems kind of

738
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:34.760
overacted. The match is great,
and the matches were great, but I

739
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:38.239
feel like the in between stuff was
a little now, a little tough.

740
00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:45.360
So Bucks music hits here they come
hang sang pang pang kangang and looking at

741
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:49.079
them now and today, Like I
said, the Racida Haroline Excalibur talks about

742
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:52.400
how Page and the Bucks share a
locker room, but they've been usually usually

743
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:54.920
share a locker room, but they've
been separated all day here in Chicago.

744
00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:02.800
Sound familiar, separate. That's that's
gonna be normal, guys. And in

745
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:06.239
a little while, Adam Page hits
the ring to his music, and that's

746
00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:08.599
a big Claren song. One jesus, Oh, I know he's got the

747
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:17.119
clowns, got the clar Claren And
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta

748
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:21.119
play it because I gotta, I
gotta hear because his song reminds me of

749
00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:28.559
something. But the yeah yeah comes
out with bang dan on his face.

750
00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:31.559
Yeah, here we go. The
ghost Town Triumph is the name of the

751
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:36.719
song. Is that it? Oh? That's it? Here comes to clarin

752
00:52:40.320 --> 00:53:07.760
two one mm Claren Deen d Dean
bosjeenan who clown Wow? How how clown

753
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:23.280
bauna clown? Yeah it's kind of
like it's got a little bit of a

754
00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:30.719
little bit of this one of my
favorite uh. And you've probably you've probably

755
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:35.440
heard this because they sampled a lot
in in rap songs. Uh these days

756
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:42.800
better love, little little little little
Medelo commercial, Little Little Little Little Yet

757
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:52.039
from It's the Ecstasy of Gold,
from the Good the Badly Ugly. If

758
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:55.519
Hugo Jimenez didn't cut at twelve,
he would never be able to start an

759
00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:07.239
empire. Oh Claren got that shit. It's a great fucking It's one of

760
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:13.960
the best pieces of music ever written
at something. Chivanni mentions that Dag Gone

761
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:20.159
Man is that him? That's enyall
get out. Tony mentions that Adam Page

762
00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:22.159
and Kenny Omega have separate entrances and
like the young Bucks, So read into

763
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:25.159
that what you will. This is
where you see some of the flashing bracelets

764
00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:30.119
in the crowd on the fans.
Omega with the so getting Kavin Hiven,

765
00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:36.000
So getting Ding Kavin Kavin So getting
Ding Haven song iron Man with Pack had

766
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:38.320
just happened. There was a great
thirty minute match between Pack and Keny Omega

767
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:44.039
on Dynamite that went into overtime.
On the Dynamite preceding this event, so

768
00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:47.079
perhaps even more of a remarkable performance
from Kenny Omega when you considered that he

769
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:52.360
had just done that a few days
before at that point, probably the best

770
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:53.639
match to air and aw television at
at that point in time, And they

771
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.519
make reference to that. On the
year Jr. Explodes, this is a

772
00:54:57.559 --> 00:54:59.800
sellout crowd, this pay per view, How can it get any better than

773
00:54:59.840 --> 00:55:06.400
the He just like suddenly realizes and
there we go. It's the match,

774
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:12.440
the greatest match in US history,
the greatest, better than anything you've ever

775
00:55:12.519 --> 00:55:15.760
seen. But of early shoving and
mouthing off. They hangman toward Kenny,

776
00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:19.760
and Kenny has his hands on his
chest like calm down, cold Adam Page,

777
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:22.760
by the way, the love child
of actors ethan Oh, I got

778
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:28.039
that one right here in my head, very Nick. The straps are hoisted

779
00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:30.159
lamist titles and wrestling. I don't
understand why the w belts, the tag

780
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:35.960
belts suck so much and why they've
never redesigned them. Excalibur plugs the books

781
00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:38.239
that Bucks had just come out with, and Nick and Kenny get its started.

782
00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:42.880
Lock up. Kenny shoots to the
wrist lock Nick tags Matt, who

783
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:45.599
rolls away from the pressure on grabs
a wrist of his own hammer lock by

784
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:49.519
Omega as the terminator clap breaks out
in the crowd. Here in Chicago,

785
00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:52.960
Nick with a flying mare and a
single leg over the top of the cart

786
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:55.119
wheel and a sidestep, and Kenny
rolls underneath. Nick goes from the full

787
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:59.760
nelson to an armbar attempt. Kenny
whiffs when he lands on his feet.

788
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:06.400
Single knuckle luck exchange by Nick into
a Luca arm drag by Nick Jackson,

789
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:10.000
and then Kenny goes to the head
scissor and yeah, Nick tries with an

790
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:15.920
uppercut. Kenny gets off the the
path knowing it's coming. So there's some

791
00:56:16.239 --> 00:56:21.880
indication that Kenny's got all the moves
ready and downloaded and ready to counter,

792
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:27.039
ready to anticipates. Right, He's
got him downloaded, he has put them

793
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:30.840
in a sequence, and he is
prepared for editing. That's correct. The

794
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:34.400
announcer's putting over how much time they
tell guys spend together and how they've spent

795
00:56:34.480 --> 00:56:36.960
more time with each other than their
families, et cetera, et cetera.

796
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:39.360
Leon don't have families, most of
them, I mean the bucks do.

797
00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:44.360
But Kenny DAPs up Nick and tags
Adam Page to a big pop. Matt

798
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:47.000
comes in as well, and the
Cowboys shit chances are in strong order already.

799
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:51.639
In February twenty twenty, they explode
with that the guy was over and

800
00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:54.920
it's still over, actually more so
than you'd expect considering how little he's done.

801
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:58.519
You know, I just you know, he's another guy. He just

802
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:01.239
kind of I like him and I
don't like him more, but something just

803
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:05.519
rubs me the wrong way about him. They're interesting, you know, there's

804
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:10.159
just like, I don't know,
there's so much Like it's funny because because

805
00:57:10.199 --> 00:57:16.559
any other place I would totally and
listen, what I'm saying here is completely

806
00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:22.079
hypocritical. But it's like, because
all I ever do is harp about equality

807
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:25.079
and how people should be treated right
and all that kind of shit. But

808
00:57:25.159 --> 00:57:28.960
then at the same time, I
see these fucking bozos and I'm like,

809
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:32.000
all they do is whine about not
being treated right and about fucking see him

810
00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:34.559
punk and shit, no, no, no no, and it's like,

811
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:39.480
fucking deal with it. He's it's
a fucking bully, Like get over it.

812
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:43.320
Yeah they did. They dealt with
it all right, Yeah, I

813
00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:46.559
know they won. They did win. They did win finally, and you

814
00:57:46.639 --> 00:57:50.519
know, Page hasn't done a media
interview and fucking eighteen months because of this

815
00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:53.159
ship. You know, he can't
even he doesn't even want to bitch about

816
00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:55.920
it, but grow the fuck up, man. Well they did. They

817
00:57:55.960 --> 00:58:01.440
handled it like men, I mean, unless you want them to it.

818
00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:07.119
It's a fucking wrestling business. Yeah, well, punks, that's what it's

819
00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:12.239
all about. Fucking bad you know, you know, bashing people and whatever.

820
00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:15.280
Yeah, I mean, if they
could get together do business, I

821
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:19.239
agree, but I kind of lost
faith that they could ever be business here.

822
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:22.639
They'd just be punk finding some other
reason to be aggrieved. And you

823
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:25.239
know, he's like, you ever
know we talked about this, Punks a

824
00:58:25.280 --> 00:58:28.960
bitch. It's like, you know, any hardcore guy you've known, it's

825
00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:31.440
like straight edge guy. Like they
compensate for that clean living by being like

826
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:37.960
completely impossible to deal with on a
personal Yeah. Yeah, exactly, so

827
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:42.639
aggressively afraid that you're judging them,
that they actually fire the first shot every

828
00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:45.199
time. I'm not. I'm not
defending see him Punk in anyway. I

829
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:49.360
think he's a douchebag. I think
see Him Punk is a douchebag. But

830
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:52.320
I enjoy the fact that people come
back to him all the time. Oh

831
00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:54.960
totally, yeah, absolutely, because
that's what I always missed. The business

832
00:58:55.079 --> 00:59:00.440
is so in awe of somebody who
will actually step to you, you know.

833
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:02.760
Yeah, same thing, like the
big same problem Trump La Chad,

834
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:06.519
with Kurt and stuff. It's like
they just they don't know what to do

835
00:59:06.599 --> 00:59:07.880
with someone that can act, that
will actually try to fuck you up,

836
00:59:08.760 --> 00:59:14.159
and they create, they build these
huge artifices around the person so they don't

837
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:19.440
have to be confronted with the chance
that it'll actually go down. Like you

838
00:59:19.519 --> 00:59:21.880
were afraid it would go down when
you were in high school, you know,

839
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:23.840
and you weren't that guy. You
weren't about that life. You weren't

840
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:28.440
ready to step up and survive a
street fight. You know, you would

841
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:30.800
have a street fight and you'd be
scarred for the rest of your life,

842
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:34.000
you know. And I don't mean
physically, I mean mentally. You know,

843
00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:37.440
some people can't take that kind of
The business has been much more open

844
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:40.760
to people that are afraid of of
confrontation in the past decade or two.

845
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:44.199
I guess that's just kind of like
a weird thing to me, Like,

846
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:52.199
how how can you be afraid of
confrontation In a business that's all about confrontation,

847
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:57.679
you thought you built an oasis from
that by surrounding yourself with like minded

848
00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:00.880
guys who came up the same way, who are in the business because they

849
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:04.920
love the thrill of performing and the
camaraderie of it. And listen, you

850
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:07.760
know what this sounds like a This
sounds like a person. So I worked

851
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:10.280
with a woman one time, and
I'll know they ever forget this because it

852
01:00:10.400 --> 01:00:15.119
was so mind boggling to me.
I did a show with a woman and

853
01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:22.280
I remember open night of the show
and she was looking very very weird and

854
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:24.440
we're getting, you know, kind
of friendly and stuff, and you know,

855
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:27.960
and so I just I said,
hey, are you okay? And

856
01:00:28.039 --> 01:00:30.960
she said, oh, I'm okay. I just this happens all the time.

857
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:37.960
I'm really I get I'm I'm just
totally freaked out, nervous for the

858
01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:44.320
first three weeks of a show.
And I'm thinking to myself, that's all

859
01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:49.320
typical contracts are is like three weeks
maybe four time after being freaked out.

860
01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:52.679
Most contracts like right, how do
you? How do you do this?

861
01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:57.039
Why do you want to do this? You would think that people that have

862
01:00:57.599 --> 01:01:00.760
that kind of issue, would choose
another business or would be so bad at

863
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:07.920
it that right? And I mean
the wrestling business is completely built on confrontation.

864
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:12.840
Yes, most of it is fake
confrontation, but like, if you're

865
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.320
afraid of confrontation, this is not
the business for you. Well yeah,

866
01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:20.079
I mean that's I'm sorry. That's
the thing is these guys, they they

867
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:25.519
were able to create a w without
that by keeping well, I mean,

868
01:01:25.800 --> 01:01:29.920
they got it done. They got
the gut rid of the guy he's coming

869
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:32.679
back for now, that's true.
Maybe he's happy. I doubt it though,

870
01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:36.880
Yeah, but you know, there's
always somebody else. If it's not

871
01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:38.960
Punk, it's somebody else. Mark
Henry made remarks like that where he was

872
01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:42.559
like, the problem's gone, so
I'm sure everything's going to be fine.

873
01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:46.400
I look forward to no more problems, right, but that's always problems.

874
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:51.719
Hey, maybe the problem isn't actually
just the guy that just got let go.

875
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:54.039
Maybe it's the guy who runs the
fucking show. There's still aggressiveness,

876
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:59.719
but it's passive, right, because
that's right, because that's so much fucking

877
01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:02.000
better. Oh it's not, but
I mean, that's that's that's the business.

878
01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:06.519
Now. It's like instead of confronting
someone who pisses you off, you

879
01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:10.559
try to find ways to marginalize them
in secret. It's much more corporate,

880
01:02:10.639 --> 01:02:14.239
right, Well, what you what
you do is you go online and you

881
01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:17.679
and you say something something vague on
Twitter, and people are punk. Was

882
01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:24.719
so headfucked by that atmosphere that he
started accusing people of trying to gin up

883
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:29.519
negativity about him in the anonymous you
know through are not on his tips.

884
01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:34.679
And it turns out he was wrong. People he thought were the parties guilty

885
01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:38.039
of drumming up stuff about how he
was difficult than a piece of shit and

886
01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:42.840
stuff were not the people that were
doing it. And he's one of those

887
01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:45.280
guys that like is so, but
there were people, there were people who

888
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:46.719
were doing it. Apparently there were
people who are doing it, yes,

889
01:02:47.079 --> 01:02:50.320
But he was just to this.
He was directing his venom in the wrong

890
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:53.199
direction. Like he came into that
press conference for the Big Brawl with this

891
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:57.280
whole idea that one of the reporters
was someone that was responsible for this,

892
01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.760
that and the other and the ports
like it was I don't like that guy

893
01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:01.840
that you think I like, And
it kind of fell apart. His whole

894
01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:05.840
narrative fell apart right there, you
know, as far as like who's he's

895
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:10.480
gonna point fingers at and it's like, you know, it's like it has

896
01:03:10.519 --> 01:03:15.440
nothing to do with business. It
has everything to do with like feeling like

897
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:20.880
you won an argument. And that's
just forget it, forget it. We're

898
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:22.679
not headed to Brett Sean here,
well we are, We're headed to Brett

899
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:28.039
Sean, and that it won't consummate
in business. Ultimately, you won't leverage

900
01:03:28.079 --> 01:03:31.079
that heat to It'll make a great
documentary in thirty years and maybe you can

901
01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:34.599
make money off that, but for
now, nobody get money off all this.

902
01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:37.920
In fact, people lost a lot
of money because a w took a

903
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:42.119
noticeable dip in popularity after the brawl
out thing happened. And they've been right,

904
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:45.679
oh yeah, right, I remember, I remember it, did I

905
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:51.639
mean yea anyway, But again,
you know, look at look at you

906
01:03:51.719 --> 01:03:59.159
know, look at the institution,
don't look at the individuals. If there

907
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:01.440
was someone at the top that the
wrestlers didn't think they could do whatever they

908
01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:05.519
wanted and he won't do anything,
then it would be different. But you

909
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:11.880
know, I can't. There wouldn't
be an aw if Tony Kahn was a

910
01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:15.960
take charge boss. People wouldn't want
to work for him. It would be

911
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:19.800
he wouldn't have a company to fucking
crack whip on. Yeah you know,

912
01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:21.920
it's like, yeah, it's all
my money. It's like no, yeah,

913
01:04:21.920 --> 01:04:25.360
okay, fine, then I'll leave
and then all your money doesn't matter,

914
01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:31.440
so you need There is nobody.
There is nobody who makes me want

915
01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:34.719
to vomit more on TV than whenever
I see that face. Yeah, he's

916
01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:38.519
got a problem with the face,
for sure. When I see his face,

917
01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:43.199
all I want to do is like
I just see everything wrong with him

918
01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:45.400
when I see his face. Yeah, Yeah, he's got a way of

919
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:49.159
that. I've seen him in certain
he can he can be in certain atmospheres

920
01:04:49.239 --> 01:04:53.239
where you can kind of get the
sense of who he might be on a

921
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:58.039
personal level. And he's a huge, huge, incredibly passionate wrestling fan.

922
01:04:58.519 --> 01:05:02.519
And sure he's on a degree that
no booker has ever been like to the

923
01:05:02.599 --> 01:05:05.599
point where he knows more about your
career than you know about your own career,

924
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:10.800
or recalls more about your career than
he said. He's a deep,

925
01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:14.320
deep wrestling nerd, and no one
like that has ever had the book.

926
01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:15.639
And you can kind of say Eddie
Gilbert was kind of like that, but

927
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:19.280
Gilbert was first and foremost a performer
in his own right, a worker.

928
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:24.800
You know. Yeah, it's a
new it's a new kind of person to

929
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:28.159
be running a wrestling company. And
then you've got people on this is how

930
01:05:28.199 --> 01:05:31.079
we shouldn't manage it. All of
a sudden, everyone's got a fucking master's

931
01:05:31.159 --> 01:05:35.239
degree and like, you know,
human capital management. He needs to crack

932
01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:39.519
what op he needs, so he
needs to step in. This idea that

933
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:44.880
like these guys can be tamed is
a total joke. It's like, this

934
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:47.000
is business. Just like you said, Vince understood this long ago. So

935
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:51.079
he has to be the biggest rascal
in the room because you're never going to

936
01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:57.719
be above the fray of fucking backbiting
behavior and wrestling it is a backbiting business.

937
01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:00.559
It has to be. There's no
other way to say, operate who's

938
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:02.920
going to make the most money at
the end then cutting people down, and

939
01:06:03.039 --> 01:06:05.599
you know, aws formed with this
ethic that that doesn't have to be this

940
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:09.960
way and we can all operate in
harmony. It's like, yeah, so

941
01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:14.719
long as you only hire like a
thirty people, you know, and that

942
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:17.719
might have worked, you know,
cycle people in and out and keep the

943
01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:21.320
Bucks in the and and Mega is
the core and a couple of their best

944
01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:26.679
buddies. I don't know, I
don't know whatever, I mean, that's

945
01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:29.639
what happens. I mean, you
know, Tony Kahn isn't obliged to only

946
01:06:29.719 --> 01:06:32.559
hire people that the young bucks get
along with. He wants to hire anybody

947
01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:39.800
that that can generate revenue. And
he's a huge Sampunk fan clearly, So

948
01:06:41.239 --> 01:06:44.840
whatever. Maybe maybe he'll hire a
Triple H next when endeavor. I think

949
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:47.559
that's the next thing that he should
do. I can't wait for Shane McMahon

950
01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:50.559
to come out when he's fucking aw
shows one of these weeks. That'll be

951
01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:56.679
something or Stephanie. Oh, can
you imagine that would be? That would

952
01:06:56.679 --> 01:06:59.239
be fun. I would lose my
mind to see a McMahon in there,

953
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:02.559
a fuck you to mince. Oh
God would that be if I could see

954
01:07:02.719 --> 01:07:09.280
If I could see Stephanie McMahon as
all elite that graphic fucking on the aw

955
01:07:09.519 --> 01:07:13.000
Twitter, I would be a lights
go out to come back on she slaps

956
01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:15.400
the shit out of like I don't
know, Britt Baker or something, I

957
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.039
don't know who. Yep, yep, yep. Oh yeah, fucking kicks

958
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:23.800
her in the pussy. Oh there's
that. I guess we could brook it

959
01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:27.960
even further. Yeah, just fucking
like just waffles her in the in the

960
01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:32.840
fucking twitter. So more to come
more from the match here, u Omega

961
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:38.360
DAPs up Nick Jackson and tags to
a big pop that Jackson comes in as

962
01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:40.760
well. And and of the two, Matt Nick, Matt was the one

963
01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:44.679
that really had the most active problem
with Adam Page. He's the most expressive

964
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:47.920
in terms of like trying to antagonize
Adam Page and such. So this is

965
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:51.360
supposed to be a big moment.
The cowboy shit chance to coplode again and

966
01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:56.239
they lock up. Page goes to
the wrist lock, Matt kIPS up,

967
01:07:57.159 --> 01:08:01.480
grabs one of his own. Let's
see Page, Okay, Matt goes to

968
01:08:01.559 --> 01:08:05.960
the drop toe hold and to the
front face lock. Yeah. Page explodes

969
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:09.360
on the canvas into a reversal.
There's a lot of grappling. They come

970
01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:12.840
back up in a huff. It's
got a lucy goofy exchange, Lucy goosey

971
01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:15.880
exchange between the two. But they're
trying to show some you know, chain

972
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:19.159
wrestling early right, like I can
beat you in sort of like standard rules.

973
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:23.600
Here, Matt offers his hand with
a smirk. Jim says that Jim

974
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:25.840
Ross is on. I don't know
if Matt since or here, and Page

975
01:08:25.840 --> 01:08:30.760
spits in his face instead, and
Matt Jackson starts to boil goes goes all

976
01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:34.359
ape shit heel on him. The
DNA running down the face of Matt Jackson

977
01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:42.680
Jr. Says that's how he chooses
to describe described saliva double leg takedown,

978
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:46.199
and Jackson starts peppering out in Page
with punches inside the guard and they're still

979
01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:49.920
channing cowboys shit to the side Mountain. Matt continues to haul off and Kenny

980
01:08:49.960 --> 01:08:53.079
comes in and tries to stop it
from getting two out of hand, and

981
01:08:53.119 --> 01:08:57.159
Matt shoves him like he's in total
you know, bull sees the red uh

982
01:08:58.039 --> 01:09:00.279
red mode. Nick. You know, I'll tell you. You know,

983
01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:08.479
Matt Matt Jackson as a heel.
I'm okay with it. Yeah, I

984
01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:12.319
don't mind it. Well, when
they really when they really broke through as

985
01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:17.680
an indie sensation, while people loved
coming to see them, they were carrying

986
01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:23.399
themselves like heels, like really,
yeah, yeah, they've never really been

987
01:09:26.119 --> 01:09:29.119
I don't want to say comfortable as
baby faces, but they've never really gone

988
01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:32.840
full baby face. They've always been
very contin ring of honor. Shows them

989
01:09:32.880 --> 01:09:36.199
being full baby face annoying. Do
you remember that, Yeah, yeah,

990
01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:39.960
that's that. I feel like I
don't remember that period. No. I

991
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:43.000
feel like they always kind of because
that was their whole swagger, you know,

992
01:09:43.159 --> 01:09:45.319
like we're trying to piss you off. Like they never like got past

993
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:50.920
that stage of of like trying to
be antagonistic towards critics and stuff. Everyone

994
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:55.119
was loving them at night. Yeah, well it worked for them for a

995
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:57.880
time. People fell in love with
that, but it's not a baby face

996
01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:01.520
act. It's it's pretty much a
heel act. And Nick finally puts a

997
01:10:01.560 --> 01:10:05.239
stop to the bickering between Matt and
the other side. So you've got Nick

998
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:10.840
Jackson literally stopping his own partner from
fighting with their opponents because it's getting that's

999
01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:12.760
funny, that out of hand.
Jr. Says. The bottom line is

1000
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:15.800
these teams all have families, and
we joke about the families occasionally, but

1001
01:10:15.920 --> 01:10:20.079
they've got to be fake. There's
overhead, there's school clothes and being the

1002
01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:24.640
champion needs you make more money,
and I'm like, there's there's there's overhead

1003
01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:27.800
and they gotta be overfed. What
are you talking about? Man? Like

1004
01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:30.800
what they got families? They got
about, they got schools, you know,

1005
01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:33.000
God damn it. They gotta pay. They gotta make lunches in the

1006
01:10:33.079 --> 01:10:38.720
morning, damn so like they gotta
put Come on, we gotta have ham

1007
01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:42.199
and cheese sandwiches. We're gonna happy
a better and jelly sandwiches in bag lunches.

1008
01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:45.560
Come on, fans, we gotta
think about what's real here, damn

1009
01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:47.680
it. His tag match in hist
us history and chairs talking about lunchables and

1010
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:56.039
capri sons. So because one kid, because one kid, God damn it,

1011
01:10:56.079 --> 01:10:58.560
one kid wants an oreo, one
kid wants the chips. Ahoy,

1012
01:10:58.720 --> 01:11:00.600
damn it. You gotta decide,
my damn it. These are people,

1013
01:11:00.880 --> 01:11:05.119
these are families. They get decisions
to make. It's not just about the

1014
01:11:05.239 --> 01:11:09.920
damn We're gonna get lunches to make
at that raid im, they gonna have

1015
01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:15.159
cheerios, damn it. Yeah,
we haven't talked about breakfast yet. I'm

1016
01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:17.600
just talking about the school all of
a sudden. I mean, the kids

1017
01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:20.600
used to love these fucking French toe
sticks. I bought ten of the BJ's.

1018
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:25.359
Now none of them, want to
get any of them. The agles

1019
01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:28.560
are at his time. My god, damn it, mom, I just

1020
01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:33.000
want the fucking the looking charms.
Damn it, don't. He's like,

1021
01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:40.199
Jimmy, Okay, you're right there, pellets and tag match. You just

1022
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:44.119
said fuck about looking your charms?
Are you okay? Sorry? Just need

1023
01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:50.720
another pack of cigarettes. Come out
on damn corner, some fucking cigarettes.

1024
01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:56.000
Damn it. I can't handle no
fucking mare, no wonder. He stops

1025
01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:59.560
screaming, so I Adam. Page
slaps Nick. Nick has been kicking from

1026
01:11:59.560 --> 01:12:02.039
gutting no over double team. Now
Matt lifts Nick into a flying leg drop

1027
01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:05.319
and then a backflip and an ankle
scissors holds Kenny in place, trapping him

1028
01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:09.279
on the apron, and that opens
up Nick drop, kicking him down to

1029
01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:14.079
the floor. Then Matt comes let's
see from the back door to the apron.

1030
01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:16.279
Nick on the charge, his bootcuts
caught. He spung around, and

1031
01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:21.159
Matt goes outside in with a cent
on backsplash, knocking down Kenny on the

1032
01:12:21.239 --> 01:12:28.319
top. He does a baseball slide
through basically through Kenny into the guardrail,

1033
01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:30.920
and then Page comes across the knee
of Nick and Matt hits a running,

1034
01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:34.800
flipping neckbreaker, driving him down with
the canvas, and they're talking about the

1035
01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:39.720
Assassins, the tag team, the
Assassins. For some reason, that's exactly

1036
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:42.199
what you want to talk about.
You definitely compare these guys, those fat

1037
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:50.000
fucks about fucking what's his name joy? Jody Hamilton's Jody Hamilton, his fucking

1038
01:12:50.159 --> 01:12:56.239
face just bleeding out of his mask
because he's so fat. That goes for

1039
01:12:56.279 --> 01:12:58.960
a slam on Page, who hits
the go behind and slams a forearm into

1040
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:00.760
the back, And it's time for
Matt to sell his historically bad back.

1041
01:13:02.199 --> 01:13:05.600
They mentioned how no one knows the
back issues of Matt Jackson better than Adam

1042
01:13:05.600 --> 01:13:11.600
Page as he drives a knee to
that tender body area. Excalibur talks about

1043
01:13:11.640 --> 01:13:15.800
the long cramped bus rides these four
took in Japan tours and how they used

1044
01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:21.039
to take shifts icing Matt's back,
take shits, icing take shits. Is

1045
01:13:21.079 --> 01:13:26.239
that they take ships as well?
I'd imagine these four men took ships on

1046
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:30.680
the same bus jr For years.
Are these these four men took ships on

1047
01:13:31.640 --> 01:13:35.800
Matt's back for years? So I
guess that's the thing they would ice him

1048
01:13:35.840 --> 01:13:40.239
up to get him ready for the
next town. Adam Page with a hard

1049
01:13:40.239 --> 01:13:43.319
slap tag to Kenny. Kind of
aggressive there. Kenny brushes that off that

1050
01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:46.840
antagonism, gets in hits a running
side backbreaker out of the corner on Matt

1051
01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:49.560
Jackson for two. Kenny, not
being shy about attacking the back here,

1052
01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:53.279
Page then tags in with the double
axe to the back of Matt Jackson,

1053
01:13:53.319 --> 01:13:56.119
slugs Nick off the apron as well. Matt to the floor, goes into

1054
01:13:56.119 --> 01:13:59.079
the rail falls to his knees.
Yea. They scream, get the hell

1055
01:13:59.119 --> 01:14:01.399
out of my way, plays clearing
the area here is Kenny stops Page from

1056
01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:04.760
I don't know power bombing I guess
Matt Jackson into the table. He was

1057
01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:08.359
trying to do that, but Omega
stops him. This is enough enough when

1058
01:14:08.399 --> 01:14:11.680
he rolls Matt into the ring to
a chorus of booze that you know,

1059
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:15.239
I can appreciate that, that sort
of bit of drama where they're like,

1060
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:25.159
yeah, exactly, we're here to
compete chorus of booze, which is interestingly

1061
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:30.399
what Adam Page is interested in.
Yes, as is John Moxley. Uh

1062
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:32.920
Kenny with a chop, Adam chops, Kenny chops Adam chops you know.

1063
01:14:32.960 --> 01:14:38.000
Then Matt blocks the bulls eye at
page, slams right back into the back

1064
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:42.359
and stays on top of that damaged
back. There's a double team referee Knox

1065
01:14:42.479 --> 01:14:45.720
is pretending to be distracted as the
back suplex is attempted. Matt lands on

1066
01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:47.880
his feet, tries his double Northern
Lights suplex thing that he does, but

1067
01:14:48.239 --> 01:14:54.399
the backbone hold it. Ah,
yes, attack it, and then Matt

1068
01:14:55.399 --> 01:14:59.720
goes up and explodes and gets the
move off. Finally gets the the Northern

1069
01:14:59.800 --> 01:15:04.439
lights off, but he's screaming in
pain as he does it. And we

1070
01:15:04.520 --> 01:15:09.399
clap, don't we That's right tag
to Nick, great applause. Jackson comes

1071
01:15:09.439 --> 01:15:15.399
in like crazy forearm head kick Jr. Takes takes at the moment to remind

1072
01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:23.119
us of what is at steak everything. That's what's a stake everything? Actually,

1073
01:15:23.279 --> 01:15:26.079
what's it? Steak is in my
mouth? Everything's at steak. Yeah,

1074
01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:29.920
everything's at steak. Everything's all mistake
in my mouth. Everything's at the

1075
01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:34.239
steakhouse. Jim's right, We're almost
there. So Nick does his big hot

1076
01:15:34.319 --> 01:15:42.800
tag spinning knee in the corner.
The combination bulldog and clothesline on both a

1077
01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:51.520
combination suplex and pin. That's the
Michael Buffer vertical lift and drop. Vertical

1078
01:15:51.640 --> 01:15:59.680
lift, drop and pinning maneuver sounds
riveting. How long did it take him

1079
01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:06.520
to come up that name? The
jack Kemmer vertical lifting PINCK told him to

1080
01:16:06.560 --> 01:16:11.600
write that, like, there's no
way he came up with that in his

1081
01:16:11.720 --> 01:16:17.600
own vertical lift that's the best description
ever. But jack Hammer vertical lift,

1082
01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:29.600
slam, drop and pin brought to
you by Daisy Sour Cream. No one

1083
01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:34.720
told him to say that. The
announcer who shouts out sponsors who didn't sponsor

1084
01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:57.600
vertical lift drop slam pin brought to
you by Mission Tortis. That's awesome.

1085
01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:13.680
That'd be men on a Mission Tortillas
brought to you by crack Lift. I

1086
01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:26.039
can see the synergy this This minis
trios match brought to you by porn Hub

1087
01:17:30.560 --> 01:17:39.840
for reasons that will go and explain
with this this synergy maneuver vertical lift,

1088
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:54.680
drop and pin brought to you by
you porn dot com. Christ Oh Good,

1089
01:17:56.039 --> 01:18:03.720
I love the idea of Michael bufferd
just having random, completely non sanctioned

1090
01:18:04.760 --> 01:18:16.520
sponsors for matches and maneuvers. This
move brought to you by what a what

1091
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:20.960
a way to sell, every possible
way. Every move brought to you by

1092
01:18:21.800 --> 01:18:30.079
Market Basket brand English Muffins. Who's
Finisher the stuff Pile Driver is presented tonight

1093
01:18:31.479 --> 01:18:38.319
by the Nuclear Safeguard Inspectors of the
International Atomic Energy Age. Actually visit hi

1094
01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:47.399
aea dot org for more. Oh
oh god, because they have reasons to

1095
01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:55.600
reach the wrestling audience with their advertising
dollar fuck, what the fuck fuss I'm

1096
01:18:55.640 --> 01:19:00.199
gonna save the planet or not from
enriched uranium. It's enough that there's inched

1097
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:10.239
carnies in the building. Oh good, But the sponsored the move. I'm

1098
01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:14.439
sponsored a show, but I'm moving. They don't want the apron, They

1099
01:19:14.479 --> 01:19:16.399
don't want the presenting sponsorship. They
don't want to be on the posts.

1100
01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:24.319
They want to sponsor one guy's finishing. When the move happens the fucking website

1101
01:19:24.359 --> 01:19:29.560
just like all of a sudden,
you know, you get that imagine the

1102
01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:33.119
finishing sequence, okay, and then
all of a sudden the picture zooms out,

1103
01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:36.640
all right, so you get like
a picture in picture deal. The

1104
01:19:36.760 --> 01:19:42.960
finish of the match is happening in
this tiny square while there's a fucking add

1105
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:47.600
a massive ad and you don't even
know what happened into the match because they

1106
01:19:47.720 --> 01:19:54.680
sponsored the move. That's when the
ad happens. See Nick Cohn had a

1107
01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:58.079
great idea. He said, you
know, why don't we saw what the

1108
01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:01.239
announcers say during the matches as well
as what the led board on the wall

1109
01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:05.560
says and what the posts say and
all that. And it became a problem

1110
01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:16.279
because when it kind of ruined the
WrestleMania main event when Roman Reigns went for

1111
01:20:16.359 --> 01:20:21.239
the spear on Cody and Michael Cole
had to call it the cinnamon toast crunch

1112
01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:29.800
splash at the top of his lungs. It's a cinnamon card splash. He

1113
01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:35.880
hit it, He hit it.
But enough about a big show at the

1114
01:20:35.960 --> 01:20:45.000
restaurant that morning. Oh my god, Strong Cold just hit the Raggles stunner.

1115
01:20:45.479 --> 01:20:49.680
The un It's one night only.
They never call the move that again.

1116
01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:53.319
They go right to calling it the
stone Cold Stunner the next night,

1117
01:20:55.640 --> 01:20:59.239
dunter. And when he hits it, there's like a there's like a graphic

1118
01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:04.680
of like red sauce exploding like blood. Oh ray, ray, mystereo has

1119
01:21:04.720 --> 01:21:17.119
Austin theory and position for the Motel
six one nine. We'll leave the light

1120
01:21:17.239 --> 01:21:23.920
on for him, pal. He
just left the light on for Austin theory.

1121
01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:34.600
Thanks Jim. By the way,
why did they rehire you? It's

1122
01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:46.319
pretty funny. The gorilla glue press, it's all there. Let's see Uncle

1123
01:21:46.439 --> 01:21:57.439
Elmer's glue. Yes, he just
said Uncle Elmer's glue. Tyson turkey leg

1124
01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:00.880
drop. I mean, what the
fuck do you want? Man? What

1125
01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:12.960
does it end? It doesn't end? A Costa rana. Oh my god,

1126
01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:20.880
Luger picks him up in the Tornelini
rack. No, no, he

1127
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:26.359
does. He picks him up.
He picks him up. And the smoky

1128
01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:38.000
Bones half rack. No, no, no, oh, it goes Bratton

1129
01:22:38.079 --> 01:22:41.920
sliding it up. He's lining up
the side. Jeddo sharp cheddar shooter.

1130
01:22:45.439 --> 01:22:49.439
Oh my god, we're just pulling
him up. And the chili's cleaning,

1131
01:22:50.479 --> 01:23:00.600
brother, Jim, stop having fucking
wet dreams on the air here, frog

1132
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:12.640
legs splash when they're in petty Oh
oh fuck that good stuff. Oh shit.

1133
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:25.920
And then, of course, finally
Gunter's classic power steak bomb. Oh

1134
01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:38.199
my god, I'm thinking he gave
him a large with Jardinia whatever it is.

1135
01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:41.960
Oh my god. You know I'm
sitting here and thinking, wow,

1136
01:23:42.039 --> 01:23:45.600
all right, gay pick a w
Revolution twenty twenty Oh that's the show with

1137
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:48.399
that great Young Bucks tag match.
I can't wait to hear JP and US,

1138
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:55.159
and I'm gonna talk about what subtleties
will pick up on how we'll contextualize

1139
01:23:55.159 --> 01:23:59.680
in the in sort of the larger
discussion of what makes great tag team wrestling.

1140
01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:05.760
And we're sitting here going steak power
bomb like Beavis and butt Head.

1141
01:24:05.880 --> 01:24:12.439
I swear to god, Oh my
god, I mean it's got to be

1142
01:24:12.560 --> 01:24:20.840
worth its fucking greatest thing Byron iron
Man. Match brought to you by iron

1143
01:24:20.920 --> 01:24:30.640
Man, the movie Damn good one
Ris Path Iron supplements as well. Oh

1144
01:24:30.840 --> 01:24:47.159
fuck, oh oh, I hope
it happens. Okay, oh shit,

1145
01:24:47.399 --> 01:24:51.479
hurt. All of that is to
say, it's not about food. It's

1146
01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:57.279
about great tag honestling, right,
It's about it's about workmanship. So Nick,

1147
01:24:57.279 --> 01:24:59.680
after running a while, tooks up
the knuckle lock, does the slap,

1148
01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:02.520
goes at the top with his double
springboard Escalera into a hurricane rana on

1149
01:25:02.600 --> 01:25:05.159
keny Omega and then he does the
rising meat in the corner on Adam Page,

1150
01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:09.560
kicks him from the apron, gets
on Kenny does his outside in X

1151
01:25:09.680 --> 01:25:13.760
factor on Page and then he backflips
after landing that under the apron and Moon

1152
01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:17.800
salts off of it onto Kenny Omega
Jr. Calls Nick Jackson perpetual motion.

1153
01:25:18.279 --> 01:25:20.640
I am a fan of that.
He comes from the apron over the top

1154
01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:26.079
X factor right plants the guy's face
and then from the seated position backflips through

1155
01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:28.399
the ropes to the apron, stands
in the apron and Moon salts. Always

1156
01:25:28.439 --> 01:25:30.239
works for me, Sure all right? It gets to the apron and does

1157
01:25:30.279 --> 01:25:33.600
an outside in sunset flip and steps
through into a sharp shooter. Keny Omega

1158
01:25:33.640 --> 01:25:38.000
gets into is a running again,
that would be that would be a cab

1159
01:25:38.039 --> 01:25:42.119
at sharp cheddar shoes right, exactly
right, and then he does the Katari

1160
01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:45.279
crush or whatever he calls that thing
the famous or breaks that up page then

1161
01:25:45.319 --> 01:25:47.239
tags Kenny gets in there. Nick
to the floor. Kenny gets the terminator

1162
01:25:47.319 --> 01:25:49.560
chant going, but before he can
do the dive, Matt cuts it off

1163
01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:53.279
to a chorus of booze. Right, hands are thrown and Matt hits the

1164
01:25:53.359 --> 01:25:57.439
ropes into Kenny's hurricane rana. I
always love how Kenny snaps off those RNA's

1165
01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:00.680
on the guy charging at him.
Sure that goes to the apron and we're

1166
01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:02.760
back to the terminator chance, Kenny
charges, goes for the Swanton dive,

1167
01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:06.399
but as he takes off, Matt
Jackson puts a kick out there that cuts

1168
01:26:06.479 --> 01:26:11.000
Kenny off just as he's about to
soar, very nicely timed and then playing

1169
01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:13.079
any of the idea. These guys
know each other like the back of their

1170
01:26:13.119 --> 01:26:17.239
respective hands, and Ken, you
know he didn't hold up. Sometimes you

1171
01:26:17.279 --> 01:26:20.119
can see a guy who knows he's
not gonna actually hit the movie he's going

1172
01:26:20.199 --> 01:26:24.199
for, and it shows in his
body language. He convinced me he was

1173
01:26:24.239 --> 01:26:28.000
ready to launch. Roll to the
middle, nickets two to the front.

1174
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:31.560
Facelock goes Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson
or Nick sorry, whatever the case it

1175
01:26:31.640 --> 01:26:38.920
may be. Alexcaliber points out that
Nick and Matt have cornered Omega here and

1176
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:43.000
had cornered him in the pock match
that past Wednesday and Dynamite, so they

1177
01:26:43.039 --> 01:26:45.600
were still friendly despite being an opposing
sides of the ring here on the pay

1178
01:26:45.640 --> 01:26:49.079
per view and would always do that
in Japan as well the Bucks when a

1179
01:26:49.119 --> 01:26:53.520
company Omega. I remember seeing them
rings side for some of the Ocada matches

1180
01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:58.319
we reviewed all those months ago.
Yeah, right, and EXCaliber makes the

1181
01:26:58.359 --> 01:27:00.039
excellent point that, you know,
looking at it now, what they were

1182
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:04.000
doing was getting the best view you
possibly could of what Kenny Omega's in ring

1183
01:27:04.119 --> 01:27:09.159
tendencies were. And they're using advantage
here. Nick holds the front facelock,

1184
01:27:09.199 --> 01:27:13.760
Kenny fights fights free, let's go
and Kenny, let's go and no,

1185
01:27:13.920 --> 01:27:15.800
Marty, I'm sorry, there's let's
go Kenny, let's go Bucks Chance.

1186
01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:19.680
Oh, there we go. Nick
knocks Adam Page off the apron and kicks

1187
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:25.399
Omega tags met double weapons. That's
that's the thing there. This is another

1188
01:27:25.479 --> 01:27:30.079
example of what I think is fantastic. Why I like this match is that

1189
01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:32.840
because again you think you know what's
happening, and there's a twist because you

1190
01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:38.560
get you get Omega doing a somersault
to make the hot tag, which any

1191
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:43.680
other match would be the hot tag. But Nick Jackson is over at at

1192
01:27:43.680 --> 01:27:46.760
Adam Page. He sweeps Adam Page
and he and the tag is not made.

1193
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:49.560
There's nothing there. Yep, it's
great stuff. It's really good that

1194
01:27:49.640 --> 01:27:53.960
way. It is really good.
Boot up on Matt Lowbridge nickets out of

1195
01:27:53.960 --> 01:27:56.760
there, nickels out of the ring, Kenny cross to the corner, can't

1196
01:27:56.800 --> 01:28:00.119
make it. Matt goes to the
front, facelock slugging away, and yes,

1197
01:28:00.600 --> 01:28:04.600
Page gets in ref stops him from
you know, getting all pissed off

1198
01:28:04.680 --> 01:28:08.359
and getting involved in the match.
Jair says he can almost fear water water

1199
01:28:08.439 --> 01:28:12.319
about to boil over in this thing
is Matt goes to the goes to the

1200
01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:15.159
check. So he was talking about
you know, the thing is he actually

1201
01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:16.960
wasn't talking about the match. He
had a he had brought a hot plate

1202
01:28:17.119 --> 01:28:20.439
roast and he was actually he was
making pasta actually on the floor. That

1203
01:28:20.560 --> 01:28:25.079
does a corner charge and Nick yanks
Page again just as Kelly Kenny does the

1204
01:28:25.199 --> 01:28:27.119
role to the booze you just mentioned
that. Oh there you go, that's

1205
01:28:27.119 --> 01:28:30.079
the one you're talking about, right, that's it's it's a match full of

1206
01:28:30.119 --> 01:28:32.560
stuff. Kenny turns into the boot
of one of the bucks and Matt as

1207
01:28:32.600 --> 01:28:38.399
a pile driver and get that great
Rob Van Damn style sell by Omega where

1208
01:28:38.399 --> 01:28:41.039
you kind of bounce off the match. Oh yes, yes, yes,

1209
01:28:41.199 --> 01:28:43.760
yes, yes. Sobert gets two
tagged to Nick Jackson, now who puts

1210
01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:45.840
the front face lock on Pages,
slapping the buckle, trying to motivate Kenny

1211
01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:49.560
there with it the crowd. Omega
rises, Nick slugs Page Page answers with

1212
01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:55.560
some right hands, gets the boot
up and Kenny Omega runs into that and

1213
01:28:56.119 --> 01:29:00.359
does basically the dealo Brown Sky high
power bomb on Nick Jackson does Kenny megap

1214
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:02.359
At this point, Omega tags in
Adam Page, who starts dropping the Bucks

1215
01:29:02.439 --> 01:29:04.680
with four arms, who goes to
the corner, gets the boot up on

1216
01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:09.279
a charging Matt. Nick gets on
the apron and eats a springboard clothesline by

1217
01:29:09.319 --> 01:29:13.159
Adam Page, Matt into a Falloway
slam by the hangman. Page kIPS up

1218
01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:15.319
right into a slingshot flip dive on
Nick out of the ring, so he's

1219
01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:19.079
channel. He's a chaining together offense, to say the least. Yes,

1220
01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:25.279
indeed it closed lines Matt out of
the ring and backdrops. There's a backdrop.

1221
01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:27.680
Page lands on the apron, gets
the boot up on the charge.

1222
01:29:28.159 --> 01:29:30.319
Nick with the back elbow, though
stuns him. There's a double team by

1223
01:29:30.319 --> 01:29:32.159
the Bucks and they both try to
pull him in the hard way from the

1224
01:29:32.239 --> 01:29:36.039
apron, but both bunks Bucks are
actually sent to the floor. It's kind

1225
01:29:36.039 --> 01:29:39.640
of a nice way to get both
guys out of the ring. They I

1226
01:29:39.760 --> 01:29:44.680
agree, and it actually it makes
sense. It's not it doesn't feel forced

1227
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:48.239
it feels logical, and it's a
nice way to get them both discombobulated on

1228
01:29:48.279 --> 01:29:51.399
the floor enough to give Page time
to climb to the top rope and do

1229
01:29:51.479 --> 01:29:57.800
the Orahara Moon Salt soaring for the
industry risking at all And again, it's

1230
01:29:57.880 --> 01:30:01.880
done well, it's done tight.
It's not exactly all right, it's done.

1231
01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:05.039
It's done in a way that it
actually makes sense. It's not it

1232
01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:10.720
doesn't. It's not bothersome because you
don't have like eighteen guys just standing there

1233
01:30:10.760 --> 01:30:15.239
waiting. It's timed right so that
he leaps kind of right when they're in

1234
01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:20.840
the right position. Adam Page isn't
an idiot going for this risk right because

1235
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:24.920
right hoping that everyone guy's not moving
out of the way, he's actually kind

1236
01:30:24.960 --> 01:30:27.960
of hold at a time he realizes
that they're out of sorts enough and just

1237
01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:30.920
hit the floor that he can hit
it, and he scores. And they're

1238
01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:34.680
also they're considered enough to like wait
for him to get up there, Like

1239
01:30:34.760 --> 01:30:38.760
the timing has to be right for
those moves to work. But when you

1240
01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:43.399
got six guys all standing up at
a group at the same time while they're

1241
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:45.920
still waiting for the guy to climb
up to the top rope. That's not

1242
01:30:45.079 --> 01:30:49.439
so bad. So a Page with
a running starter thing if anything, If

1243
01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:54.000
anything, the guys should be up
on the top rope first, and then

1244
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:58.680
the guys kind of stand up and
then he can go agreed. Yeah,

1245
01:30:58.760 --> 01:31:00.880
we all know what it looks like
when it's done right, just not everybody

1246
01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:03.520
can pull it off. It's not
usually done right. I would say that's

1247
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:08.279
it's done right about maybe two percent
of the time. I think Page it's

1248
01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:11.319
thropes three times and nails Nick with
a lariat, turning him inside out.

1249
01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:14.520
Jar said, it's like a John
Deere tractor running him over. Yes,

1250
01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:18.960
he does, but the John Deer
Reynold ring or a stand hands in one

1251
01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:30.680
of the two same difference set standing, we're green, okay. Jim Page

1252
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:32.960
throws Nick to the corner he wants
bat and Matt makes the tag and gets

1253
01:31:33.000 --> 01:31:35.079
in there. Fuck him up,
cowboy, they chant, they want Matt

1254
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:38.720
to eat ship at the hands of
the cowboy. They get in the middle

1255
01:31:38.720 --> 01:31:41.159
of their jow jacking, Matt throws
a right hand at and Page throws and

1256
01:31:41.159 --> 01:31:44.359
they go, oh yeah, yeah, nope, nope, see this is

1257
01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:48.640
this is this is one of the
parts that I just they lose me here,

1258
01:31:48.680 --> 01:31:55.760
she changes, I hate that.
I hate I hate the the boo

1259
01:31:55.880 --> 01:32:02.800
yes, slugfest. I can't stand
it. It's so it's so just corny

1260
01:32:03.199 --> 01:32:09.720
and it's so lame. I just
it's so unbelievable. It's you even hate

1261
01:32:09.760 --> 01:32:12.079
it when they do it in Japan. And in Japan the crowd is you

1262
01:32:12.159 --> 01:32:14.079
know, they accept it as part
of the language of the match, and

1263
01:32:14.079 --> 01:32:16.159
they go for it because these guys
are supposed to be staying there. See,

1264
01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:19.079
you take the best shot the other
guy can take. It's so stupid.

1265
01:32:19.239 --> 01:32:21.640
Jay called it out and all out
in London all En in London.

1266
01:32:21.640 --> 01:32:24.920
He said, I don't understood this. As they start doing it with Koda

1267
01:32:24.960 --> 01:32:28.439
Bushi in the middle of the ring, I just I've never I've never.

1268
01:32:28.760 --> 01:32:30.920
It just always takes me out.
I it always rubbed me the wrong way

1269
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:32.960
and I never knew why. And
then I'm like, oh, yeah,

1270
01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:38.239
because they're just waiting, right,
They're waiting to get hit. Like how

1271
01:32:38.439 --> 01:32:42.399
stupid is that? Stop doing it? Yes, not hard, Stop doing

1272
01:32:42.479 --> 01:32:46.359
it. It's awful. It is
absolutely awful and it's not you know,

1273
01:32:46.640 --> 01:32:53.800
And the fact is people you have
you have hoodwinked people into thinking that it's

1274
01:32:53.840 --> 01:32:57.760
a worthwhile thing. Yeah, right, because it's like vaguely Japan. That

1275
01:32:57.800 --> 01:33:02.119
doesn't make it right good, sorry, right right. So there's a that's

1276
01:33:02.159 --> 01:33:05.199
brought to an end as Matt Jackson
does kind of a cross chop across the

1277
01:33:05.279 --> 01:33:08.600
throat of Adam Page and hits the
ropes, but a big boot by Page

1278
01:33:08.680 --> 01:33:11.239
kills him. Blind tag in the
corner by Kenny Omega, who gets in

1279
01:33:11.279 --> 01:33:17.560
it as a lariat flying back suplex, and then Kenny shoves Matt into the

1280
01:33:17.680 --> 01:33:21.920
air into a German suplex by Adam
Page. He's airborne and he gets jumped

1281
01:33:21.960 --> 01:33:27.079
on his head and it's a bad
landing for Matt Jackson, but he turns

1282
01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:30.119
out to be okay. Kenny does
get the dead lift, gut wrench,

1283
01:33:30.479 --> 01:33:34.760
hardass power bomb, stacking at Matt
Jackson for two. Kenny then tags Page.

1284
01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:39.000
Matt explodes with bright hands, does
a corner charge forearm hits the corner.

1285
01:33:39.079 --> 01:33:42.560
Page charges, but Nick is there
with that common Gary kick from the

1286
01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:45.359
apron to Adam Page tag to Nick. Nick comes in with a running knee

1287
01:33:45.640 --> 01:33:49.560
to the face and then a forearm, and Kenny comes in and eats a

1288
01:33:49.600 --> 01:33:54.439
superkick and then Pitt of the single
knuckle lock. There's a double springboard and

1289
01:33:54.479 --> 01:33:58.039
he's caught and shoved, but he
does the moon salt does I think it's

1290
01:33:58.159 --> 01:34:00.119
nick right and lands on the ramp
instead of the floor. Yeah, it's

1291
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:03.680
wild. And then so because he's
able to land on his feet and recover,

1292
01:34:03.960 --> 01:34:06.840
he's able to run, jump over
the ropes, clear the ropes,

1293
01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:13.640
and hook a Canadian destroyer on Adam
Page getting too it's I'm i'm I'm,

1294
01:34:13.880 --> 01:34:17.600
i am done with those fucking summer
sault maneuvers. Will you flip whether their

1295
01:34:17.680 --> 01:34:21.359
code, whether their code reds or
cane destroyers, I'm over it. I'm

1296
01:34:21.399 --> 01:34:25.199
done. That gets some plods.
During the double down, Nick charges on

1297
01:34:25.239 --> 01:34:28.800
the board wheel back elbow from Adam
Page, nails on Adam Page climbs,

1298
01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:31.439
but Matt stuffs his head into the
buckle and Nick kicks it. They don't

1299
01:34:31.479 --> 01:34:34.880
slap the thigh there, so it
sounds like nothing lands like with a power

1300
01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:40.239
bomb on ap and Adam Page,
and while he does that, Matt does

1301
01:34:40.359 --> 01:34:42.479
kind of a slice bread, so
he picks him up in the power bomb

1302
01:34:42.520 --> 01:34:45.560
form. It's like a doomsday device, except instead of clothes lining up from

1303
01:34:45.560 --> 01:34:46.960
the power bomb position, he gives
him the the slice bread off the top.

1304
01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:49.520
Yeah, that gets to two counters
of megap breaks it up. Speaking

1305
01:34:49.560 --> 01:34:56.399
of slice bread, Jack Gym's all
about the slice bread. He says,

1306
01:34:56.399 --> 01:35:01.399
slice bread. You can say they're
on a roll too. The motor cyt

1307
01:35:01.439 --> 01:35:04.920
of machine guns get a shout out
by Excalibur for that. That move Matt

1308
01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:10.439
and dumps Kenny lining up a double
superkick, but Page catches one and throws

1309
01:35:10.560 --> 01:35:14.079
Nick Nick's leg into Matt. They
start slugging it out. Matt HiT's nailbow

1310
01:35:14.279 --> 01:35:16.960
hands up to block the superkick,
so Adam Page just switches and kicks the

1311
01:35:17.039 --> 01:35:23.840
knee instead. Oh my god,
Okay, then does the spin and jumps

1312
01:35:24.399 --> 01:35:28.399
into the a chicken wing. There's
some hand fighting going on as a Page

1313
01:35:28.439 --> 01:35:31.439
tries to luck in his submission.
Nick Jackson then climbs Matt rolls back as

1314
01:35:31.520 --> 01:35:34.760
Nick comes down across Adam Page with
a four fifty splash to break the hold

1315
01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:39.680
that covers him for two ano.
They're double down and this is awesome chance.

1316
01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:43.920
That's that's something these guys do exceptionally
well. As it's like two guys

1317
01:35:43.960 --> 01:35:46.920
are like involved in some kind of
struggle and someone flies in from out of

1318
01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:51.760
the frame with a crazy ass high
flying move. Yeah, Matt lifts Page

1319
01:35:51.800 --> 01:35:57.279
to his shoulders. He drops down, shoved into Nick. Nick does a

1320
01:35:57.479 --> 01:36:00.399
toe hold, Matt is thrown into
Kenny. He's lifted. They do that

1321
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:05.640
you can't escape thing where Omega get
you on his shoulder, does the forward

1322
01:36:05.760 --> 01:36:09.159
roll and then the moon salt and
only does that. Page does a shooting

1323
01:36:09.199 --> 01:36:12.960
star first, So there's a bit
of double team work there from the Champions

1324
01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:15.760
where Omega moon salt and Page does
the standing shooting star press, and then

1325
01:36:15.800 --> 01:36:19.920
Adam Page climbs to the top rope
with Nick Jackson and does a following slam

1326
01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:24.399
with a moon salt off the top. Now that is not a Spanish line

1327
01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:27.920
that works for me. That does
work for me too, very dangerous,

1328
01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:32.920
but he does it. It's very
dangerous. But also there's not a you're

1329
01:36:32.920 --> 01:36:36.079
not relying on the other person like
he was holding it. I just squashed

1330
01:36:36.159 --> 01:36:40.439
he was holding him, you know. So, But the idea is that

1331
01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:43.600
he's not relying on the guy to
do a somersault. He's in complete control

1332
01:36:44.199 --> 01:36:47.319
of the guy and that works for
me. And that looks like it hurts,

1333
01:36:47.720 --> 01:36:50.479
So I'm okay with that, yep. I don't know how he gets

1334
01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:55.680
his head trying to flip with someone
in the arms like that off. I

1335
01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:58.840
mean, I don't know what he's
gonna do to make sure he gets the

1336
01:36:58.960 --> 01:37:01.760
rotation right. But that was scary
and all the time, and I always

1337
01:37:01.760 --> 01:37:05.520
feel like he's a second away from
landing on his head. He gets a

1338
01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:09.439
two count off that big move.
Page then scrambles for a power bomb.

1339
01:37:09.479 --> 01:37:12.359
He slams down Nick rolls back into
a V trigger to the back of the

1340
01:37:12.399 --> 01:37:15.319
head, and then Adam Page covers
Matt, but it's broken up. The

1341
01:37:15.399 --> 01:37:17.920
counter to another round of hearty applause
from the crowd here in Chicago. Kenny

1342
01:37:18.000 --> 01:37:21.399
comes in. There's an a dub
chant. He tries to do the V

1343
01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:27.720
trigger but misses it and goes right
into a standing me that maneuver. I

1344
01:37:27.760 --> 01:37:31.039
don't like that. I only understand
the name the V trigger. It's something

1345
01:37:31.119 --> 01:37:33.840
from a video game. We talked
about it when we did the Okada series.

1346
01:37:33.880 --> 01:37:36.119
I forget where he gets it from, but it's it's some sort of

1347
01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:41.000
reference to a video game. I
believe. Okay, well I don't guess.

1348
01:37:43.520 --> 01:37:48.279
So let's see Nick lands on his
feet when he tries to I think

1349
01:37:48.600 --> 01:37:51.399
Omega tries to suplex him or something, and then there's a superkick that gets

1350
01:37:51.479 --> 01:37:55.239
caught, and then he lands the
V trigger and then Matt comes in ducks

1351
01:37:55.239 --> 01:38:00.479
the full Nelson avoids the snap mare, hits the ropes and does the V

1352
01:38:00.640 --> 01:38:11.520
trigger and his face who does the
V trigger pardon me for not anyway hold

1353
01:38:11.560 --> 01:38:15.560
on something? Lands uh, and
then Omega explodes with the Snapdragon sup plex

1354
01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:19.640
on Nick Jackson Jr. Lets out
a noise on that one, and then

1355
01:38:19.680 --> 01:38:26.119
it does another one on Nick Jackson. Nick is limping now a double underhooks

1356
01:38:26.119 --> 01:38:30.760
from Omega and he does the Tiger
Driver ninety eight on Nick Jackson. That

1357
01:38:30.880 --> 01:38:33.279
gets to Jared says ninety eight was
a very good year, but apparently not

1358
01:38:33.359 --> 01:38:41.359
good enough. Tony Schavali declares that
the crazy some of the craziest things he's

1359
01:38:41.359 --> 01:38:45.000
seen in his in many damn years. Fight Forever Chant breaks out, which

1360
01:38:45.159 --> 01:38:48.319
went on to be the title of
the w video game. Nick slouches down

1361
01:38:48.359 --> 01:38:51.319
in the corner with his back to
Kenny. The V trigger lands to the

1362
01:38:51.359 --> 01:38:57.680
back of the head. Omega then
lifts and climbs into the angels wing Angel

1363
01:38:57.720 --> 01:39:00.640
wings position, the one wing an
Angel. Sorry, he's got him on

1364
01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:04.199
the top, but Nick fights it
off and falls backward encounters what was Omega's

1365
01:39:04.199 --> 01:39:10.319
attempt to hit a top rope one
winged angel with a reverse hurricanan of the

1366
01:39:10.359 --> 01:39:13.960
poison run as it's called. And
so oh, that's a that's a fucking

1367
01:39:14.079 --> 01:39:15.439
brutal thing. Yeah, when you
come down behind the guy and run him

1368
01:39:15.439 --> 01:39:20.000
from that, that that is a
brutal looking move. Worsing that got a

1369
01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:24.119
moon salt on his own head to
sell it, and he spikes him tough.

1370
01:39:24.319 --> 01:39:28.520
That is a tough fall for Omega. Page comes in with a lariat

1371
01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:34.399
on Nick and that he turns and
Matt does his series of Northern Lights suplexes

1372
01:39:34.479 --> 01:39:38.560
from the ring all the way onto
the ramp, and he keeps doing them

1373
01:39:39.159 --> 01:39:42.119
one after the other like the series
of Germans, except it's a series of

1374
01:39:42.199 --> 01:39:45.600
Northern Lights suplexes and he doesn't three
of them on the ramp, and on

1375
01:39:45.680 --> 01:39:49.079
the third he just tosses him.
It's so nuts. Into all this the

1376
01:39:49.119 --> 01:39:53.239
paper money that fell from the ceiling
for the young Bucks entrance that goes flying

1377
01:39:53.319 --> 01:39:58.039
his Page bumps the ramp and Jr. Puts over the thought that you know,

1378
01:39:58.399 --> 01:40:01.039
Nick, actually pardon me, Matt
actually hesitated before launching Adam that one

1379
01:40:01.119 --> 01:40:04.800
last time, but still get it. Perhaps a soft spot showing for a

1380
01:40:04.880 --> 01:40:10.239
minute there there's great crowd cutaways here
with drop jaws, kind of as it

1381
01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:13.880
described by Gabe up in the Miltary
Box. You know, people like or

1382
01:40:13.960 --> 01:40:17.039
shocked at how how many more layers
there are to this match. It just

1383
01:40:17.079 --> 01:40:21.920
won't stop. Yeah, it does
keep building. It's pretty it's pretty wild.

1384
01:40:23.119 --> 01:40:26.680
So Matt gingerly leaning on his own
now to pick Adam Page up and

1385
01:40:27.199 --> 01:40:30.359
kind of selling the back nicely.
He like kneels down to pick him up

1386
01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:33.359
because he can't bend over because the
back still hurts, screaming at Nick to

1387
01:40:33.399 --> 01:40:36.520
get your ass up because they're trying
to hook up a double team move and

1388
01:40:36.640 --> 01:40:41.600
it's the tombstone, the indie taker
thing where they pick you up at a

1389
01:40:41.640 --> 01:40:45.600
tombstone position, the other guy flies
in and spikes you. They do another

1390
01:40:45.720 --> 01:40:48.159
ramp to Adam Page driving his head
into the ramp and Nick soaring from the

1391
01:40:48.239 --> 01:40:53.920
ring to spike him tough back in
a superkick party breaks out. Matt shouts,

1392
01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:56.920
Kenny turns, Nick hesitates it doesn't
want to kick him, and then

1393
01:40:56.960 --> 01:40:59.720
Matt directs him to do it.
Nick shoots the kick Matt as well,

1394
01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:01.760
and he grabs his eyes and they
both nail him. Kenny like covers his

1395
01:41:01.880 --> 01:41:05.239
face like here it comes. I
can't do anything about it, and he

1396
01:41:05.359 --> 01:41:08.760
folds. Jerre says, we got
to be towards the bottom of the ninth

1397
01:41:08.840 --> 01:41:11.960
year. There's a double V trigger
on Kenny by the Bucks, so they

1398
01:41:12.039 --> 01:41:15.199
go there using Kenny's own move against
him. But then Kenny kicks out at

1399
01:41:15.239 --> 01:41:18.600
one and he kicks out of one
and they go and sing, that was

1400
01:41:18.680 --> 01:41:23.840
pretty that was pretty wild. I
was not That was not what I was

1401
01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:26.479
expecting. I thought that was pretty
bad. It's pretty bad ass because he

1402
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:30.239
doesn't suddenly recover. He doesn't hook
up. He goes, but he kind

1403
01:41:30.279 --> 01:41:32.439
of goes like nuts, like you
would if you felt like your life was

1404
01:41:32.479 --> 01:41:36.119
in danger and you got like one
last series of swings. They go insane.

1405
01:41:36.159 --> 01:41:40.359
He starts punching right and left,
and they rise to their feet at

1406
01:41:40.359 --> 01:41:44.640
the explosion of Omega and another pair
of super kicks nails him again, mows

1407
01:41:44.720 --> 01:41:48.000
him down one two. Kenny kicks
out at two this time. Yeah,

1408
01:41:48.199 --> 01:41:50.600
but he doesn't fire up the second
time. Should he have? As my

1409
01:41:50.720 --> 01:41:54.479
question to you, Boss, should
he have done the same thing when he

1410
01:41:54.560 --> 01:41:56.880
kicked out at two again? Fired
up? I think that could have been

1411
01:41:56.960 --> 01:41:59.920
cool. I think that could have
been cool. Yes, they didn't do

1412
01:42:00.000 --> 01:42:01.920
what Kenny Chance breaks out. Matt
grabs the arm and stomps the bad shoulder

1413
01:42:02.800 --> 01:42:05.920
of Kenny to a course of booze. He rips off the shoulder tape that

1414
01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:12.680
Omega was wearing as damage from the
Pack Ironman match on Wednesday. Excalibur puts

1415
01:42:12.720 --> 01:42:15.920
over how the young Bucks see the
tag titles as their destiny and that justifies

1416
01:42:15.960 --> 01:42:20.520
a lot of the the take no
prisoner's attitude they're displaying here in this match,

1417
01:42:20.560 --> 01:42:25.399
and they're willing to go to any
lengths. There's some disagreement on display

1418
01:42:25.439 --> 01:42:27.920
between Matt and Nick Jackson about how
far to take this thing. Next,

1419
01:42:28.279 --> 01:42:30.119
Matt is looking down at the shoulder
tape they took off of Kenny Omega,

1420
01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:35.119
and Tony remarks that Matt's hand appeared
to be shaking as he considers the consequences

1421
01:42:35.159 --> 01:42:38.720
of what they're about to do to
the guy, their friendship having gone deeper

1422
01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:42.239
than any of us can imagine,
as Jaya mentioned, but they got him

1423
01:42:42.239 --> 01:42:44.359
back up. They lift him for
the tombstone to finish this thing off,

1424
01:42:44.399 --> 01:42:46.319
and Nick launches from the top to
spike him down, but no Adam Page

1425
01:42:46.359 --> 01:42:50.039
is there to block him. Yea
puts him in the power bomb form and

1426
01:42:50.039 --> 01:42:55.079
absolutely last rides. Nick Jackson threw
a table onto the board of the Big

1427
01:42:55.159 --> 01:42:58.640
Pop We go there we go,
the big table spot on Page. Kenny

1428
01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:00.119
gets free, tries the V trigg
but it's blocked. He goes for a

1429
01:43:00.159 --> 01:43:03.680
second one. This one scores.
Matt Jackson is wobbly as Adam Page then

1430
01:43:03.760 --> 01:43:09.840
does the buckshot lariot and the V
trigger combination, and that's got to be

1431
01:43:09.920 --> 01:43:13.600
the finish. And this is the
example it talks about that, you know,

1432
01:43:13.680 --> 01:43:15.840
guys who know, like the fans
are gonna feel this is the finish.

1433
01:43:15.920 --> 01:43:19.119
They can just tell they're going to
be convinced. And we go again,

1434
01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:23.680
we go further wanted to know,
Matt kicks out and then they lose

1435
01:43:23.720 --> 01:43:27.199
their fucking minds, Adam they do
it was pretty crazy? Is that should

1436
01:43:27.239 --> 01:43:30.960
have been the finish? And Adam
Page's wide eyed and Kenny is selling just

1437
01:43:30.079 --> 01:43:35.520
shock at the whole thing and then
explodes with a V trigger. Excalibur remarks

1438
01:43:35.560 --> 01:43:39.279
that Omega has one trump card left. How nobody's ever kicked out of the

1439
01:43:39.319 --> 01:43:42.399
One Wing and Angel, And sure
enough, Kenny puts Matt Jackson up to

1440
01:43:42.479 --> 01:43:46.319
his shoulders, but he can't lift
the bad arm up with a shoulder was

1441
01:43:46.359 --> 01:43:50.920
hard. He cannot to complete the
hold. He can't very well done,

1442
01:43:51.239 --> 01:43:54.640
so he tries with the other arm, the good arm, because he has

1443
01:43:54.680 --> 01:43:57.720
to kind of snake his arm through
to reach around the back of your neck

1444
01:43:57.760 --> 01:44:00.359
to pull you down. But that
little bit of a delay allows Matt to

1445
01:44:00.479 --> 01:44:05.920
hit free hit the super kick,
and Page comes in off a tag and

1446
01:44:06.039 --> 01:44:10.359
it looks like he's gonna do it. He's gonna do the Buckshot Lariot.

1447
01:44:10.479 --> 01:44:13.760
They explode. No part part of
me, not the Buckshot Larriott. Adam

1448
01:44:13.800 --> 01:44:15.560
Page is going to do Kenny Omega's
finisher, the one wing an Angel.

1449
01:44:15.880 --> 01:44:19.359
Yes, yes, and he does
it. Nobody's ever kicked out of it,

1450
01:44:19.479 --> 01:44:23.640
but nobody's ever kicked out of it
when Omega does it. Ye to

1451
01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:27.399
Nick makes it great. It's a
great, it's it's brilliant. It's actually

1452
01:44:27.840 --> 01:44:30.439
protected that they still get the kick
out of the one long Angel in the

1453
01:44:30.520 --> 01:44:32.840
match. Ye Nick makes the save. By this point, he's recovered enough

1454
01:44:32.840 --> 01:44:36.640
for the power bond again and in
time crowd going nuts. Tony says it's

1455
01:44:36.640 --> 01:44:40.640
one of the damnest things he's ever
seen. After the match. By the

1456
01:44:40.680 --> 01:44:44.079
way, both Jim Ross and Tony
called it the best tag match they evercalled

1457
01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:46.720
on social media. Working for a
w It's kind of like, you know,

1458
01:44:47.119 --> 01:44:49.920
you only take it so seriously,
but they were compelled to say so.

1459
01:44:51.399 --> 01:44:56.159
Page throws Nick to the ramp.
He does the buckshot lariot from in

1460
01:44:56.239 --> 01:44:59.239
the ring to the ramp, taking
Nick out, and then he turns to

1461
01:44:59.319 --> 01:45:03.279
the ring. Is there two minutes
have elapsed and and he does it.

1462
01:45:03.399 --> 01:45:08.720
He closes the deal Adam Page.
Anytime that I see that a match is

1463
01:45:08.800 --> 01:45:14.800
thirty minutes on Wikipedia, Like when
I'm when I'm setting up my myself,

1464
01:45:14.800 --> 01:45:18.880
I'm always like, oh fucking Christ, is it going to be worth it?

1465
01:45:20.319 --> 01:45:25.359
Is it gonna go by fast?
Is it going to be painful?

1466
01:45:26.119 --> 01:45:30.039
Is it going to be enjoyable?
Am I going to you know the same

1467
01:45:30.119 --> 01:45:36.399
thing, Like when we were doing
uh Flair Steamboat the the hour long match,

1468
01:45:36.439 --> 01:45:41.039
It's like, oh my god,
an hour for one match, Like

1469
01:45:41.159 --> 01:45:45.520
it's it's just a lot. But
when it's done right, when it's done

1470
01:45:45.600 --> 01:45:49.319
right, it's like nothing happened,
So we'll test him into the match that

1471
01:45:49.399 --> 01:45:53.920
you came in knowing it was that
long, and it still didn't feel long.

1472
01:45:54.600 --> 01:45:57.560
Can you imagine watching it live and
having no idea when the match is

1473
01:45:57.600 --> 01:46:00.319
gonna end. It must feel that
much more sort of epic. But after

1474
01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:03.520
buckshotting Nick on the on the ramp, he turns around and he just does

1475
01:46:03.600 --> 01:46:08.880
it. He closes the deal.
He buckshots Matt Hardy in the middle of

1476
01:46:08.920 --> 01:46:13.760
the ring and covers him for the
one, the two, and the three.

1477
01:46:14.840 --> 01:46:16.479
Thirty minutes five seconds, Kenny Omega
and Adam Page to eat the Young

1478
01:46:16.560 --> 01:46:20.720
Bucks to become or to retain rather
the eight e W World Tag Team Championships.

1479
01:46:20.760 --> 01:46:25.520
Here at Revolution twenty twenty, Jared
simply says that's tag team wrestling.

1480
01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:28.880
Wow. After the replay, Jared
says, you have to like what the

1481
01:46:28.920 --> 01:46:31.479
tag team division is growing into.
How seriously it's being taken here. It's

1482
01:46:31.520 --> 01:46:33.880
not an afterthought and with teams like
this, how could it ever be.

1483
01:46:34.319 --> 01:46:38.359
Kenny make a hoist the straps as
they all stand in the ring looking for

1484
01:46:38.439 --> 01:46:41.560
some handshakes from the Young Bucks are
the champions. They go to Kenny and

1485
01:46:41.720 --> 01:46:45.039
Hug him. Page is watching,
brooding, not wanting to participate in this

1486
01:46:45.119 --> 01:46:48.960
camaraderie. Kenny DAPs them up a
Page just watches, and then Matt invites

1487
01:46:49.039 --> 01:46:51.800
Page into the circle, and Page
turns his back on all three of them,

1488
01:46:51.880 --> 01:46:56.680
thus continuing the story gets right.
The story doesn't end here. It's

1489
01:46:56.720 --> 01:47:00.560
turns and bounces, and the story
continues uncomfortable with the elite set up.

1490
01:47:00.600 --> 01:47:03.079
If they see by the way,
there was a funny moment here. I

1491
01:47:03.159 --> 01:47:06.800
forgot to I didn't play. Uh
my bad, I missed it. Uh.

1492
01:47:06.920 --> 01:47:13.520
This is when they do the uh
the buckshot v trigger combout. This

1493
01:47:13.760 --> 01:47:23.319
is this is Jerry, Jerry Jr. And Tony commenting on it trigger on

1494
01:47:23.560 --> 01:47:33.239
Nation. Well, I love Hi
in the Hill. Yeah, I don't

1495
01:47:33.319 --> 01:47:38.880
understand it either. If they got
out of that, nothing's gonna win this

1496
01:47:39.000 --> 01:47:47.520
match. Head buddy Jim Ross.
That's a great call. Yeah. Yeah,

1497
01:47:47.560 --> 01:47:49.680
that was the moment. That was
like the moment where it was like,

1498
01:47:49.720 --> 01:47:53.439
this is still doing battled. Yeah. I was. I was like,

1499
01:47:53.560 --> 01:47:56.600
what the fuck? Pretty good stuff. I couldn't believe it. I

1500
01:47:56.720 --> 01:47:59.920
was. I was totally taken aback. A little subtle Page hits the apron

1501
01:48:00.079 --> 01:48:03.159
drops the belt down and motions with
Kenny. Kenny's back to him like he's

1502
01:48:03.199 --> 01:48:08.439
gonna buckshot Larry at his partner as
well, Yes, yeah, but Omega

1503
01:48:08.479 --> 01:48:11.279
turns around and sees Page, and
Page waves him off like you're seeing things.

1504
01:48:11.359 --> 01:48:15.600
Nothing was going to happen, and
wow, Tony Excalibur a kind of

1505
01:48:15.640 --> 01:48:17.039
like, I think I saw what
I thought I saw, but I don't

1506
01:48:17.079 --> 01:48:20.000
want to accuse anybody. So it's
played very well. We have subtlety if

1507
01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:24.800
nothing else, yea, And Page
gets a beer from an audience member and

1508
01:48:25.760 --> 01:48:29.840
only better hope it's not something else
as he takes a chug and that is

1509
01:48:29.920 --> 01:48:32.119
that, so it would actually play
out. The ultimate, you know,

1510
01:48:32.199 --> 01:48:39.560
sort of conclusion of this whole thing
is when Page wrestles Omega for the championship

1511
01:48:40.239 --> 01:48:45.520
and he's on the apron, he's
waiting to strike his destinies before him.

1512
01:48:45.920 --> 01:48:50.560
The Bucks come out. You think
they're there to help Kenny, and they

1513
01:48:51.119 --> 01:48:57.479
look at Page like we're in a
position to do what Page has always accused

1514
01:48:57.560 --> 01:49:00.079
us of doing, which is pulled
the rug out from under him whenever he

1515
01:49:00.159 --> 01:49:04.319
achieved something on his own merits outside
of the group. The thing that has

1516
01:49:04.800 --> 01:49:09.520
always rankled him about our involvement in
his life, in his career, even

1517
01:49:09.560 --> 01:49:12.079
though we feel we deserve a fair
amount of credit for where he's at in

1518
01:49:12.119 --> 01:49:15.159
the business. And but what they
do is they look at Page and they

1519
01:49:15.239 --> 01:49:18.239
give him the nod like go ahead, like you could do it, go

1520
01:49:18.439 --> 01:49:23.199
for it, and he buckshot.
Larry's Kennyan wins the title, and that's

1521
01:49:23.239 --> 01:49:29.279
the end of the story. Wow, we move here to the women's title

1522
01:49:29.319 --> 01:49:31.680
matches. Nila Rose defends against Chris
stat Lander. Chris stat Lander referred to

1523
01:49:31.840 --> 01:49:41.000
back then unfortunately as what was it? What do they call her? Some

1524
01:49:41.159 --> 01:49:50.640
kind of alien? Think? Oh, the galaxy's greatest alien. I'm sorry,

1525
01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:55.279
do you want me to respond to
that or what? Absolutely not that

1526
01:49:55.359 --> 01:49:59.760
that silence was exactly what I was
hoping for. I can't even Chris stat

1527
01:49:59.840 --> 01:50:02.319
Land. He was a hard worker. I'm sure she's a lovely person.

1528
01:50:03.079 --> 01:50:06.640
I don't ever got it, never
got don't give it. I push her

1529
01:50:06.680 --> 01:50:10.520
so hard. She's the champion right
now. She actually ended Jade Cargill's winning

1530
01:50:10.520 --> 01:50:13.760
streak. Jade Cargill was a kind
of a Goldberg character they had that they

1531
01:50:14.199 --> 01:50:17.960
obviously kept undefeated till a contract ran
out and stat Lander took the belt offer

1532
01:50:18.039 --> 01:50:21.640
and kind of like money in the
bank, cash in fashion, but they

1533
01:50:21.680 --> 01:50:24.880
always come back to her. She's
been out with a lot of injuries and

1534
01:50:24.880 --> 01:50:27.119
stuff, but they just believe in
her so much. And I don't know

1535
01:50:27.119 --> 01:50:30.279
if she's just friends with the right
people or what, because she's she's good,

1536
01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:32.279
but she's not exceptionally good. And
it started all the way back here

1537
01:50:32.279 --> 01:50:35.399
where I felt like there was like
this over emphasis on her upside and stuff

1538
01:50:36.239 --> 01:50:40.800
were told she has setting word fire
since she appeared, and I don't remember

1539
01:50:40.880 --> 01:50:42.760
that. And she used to play
up that she was an alien. Her

1540
01:50:42.760 --> 01:50:45.479
initial character was like they refer to
her as an alien and somebody that's not

1541
01:50:45.600 --> 01:50:48.479
from this planet. It's like,
what are you guys doing? Like this

1542
01:50:48.680 --> 01:50:51.239
is so fucking stupid, Like I
don't know if you think it's funny or

1543
01:50:51.319 --> 01:50:58.720
ironic or stop doing this, Like
I don't understand. I don't I thought

1544
01:50:58.800 --> 01:51:03.159
this was I don't know. Yeah, she's got like this huge robot on

1545
01:51:03.239 --> 01:51:08.920
her tron and she kind of runs
with like with Orange, she kind of

1546
01:51:09.199 --> 01:51:12.399
I think she thought that she could
pull that off in the ironic way that

1547
01:51:12.520 --> 01:51:15.960
Orange pulls off not trying but still
being entertaining, you know, but the

1548
01:51:15.079 --> 01:51:20.960
alien thing was just never had never
made any sense to me whatsoever. They

1549
01:51:21.079 --> 01:51:24.560
mentioned, even on the way to
the Ring, how she's unused to the

1550
01:51:24.640 --> 01:51:29.600
Earth's atmosphere and the evidence by that
is that she's been battling a severe flu

1551
01:51:29.680 --> 01:51:31.119
all week, which she had a
real flu in real life, and they

1552
01:51:31.199 --> 01:51:35.159
just decided to say it's evidence of
her being unused to the Earth's atmosphere.

1553
01:51:35.520 --> 01:51:39.159
And and Tony Schavanni laughs at it
and just says, okay, start that

1554
01:51:39.239 --> 01:51:41.960
again, and they laugh. So
it's not like they're taking it serious.

1555
01:51:41.960 --> 01:51:45.760
EXCaliber is delivering these lines with a
straight face. Well, I don't know's

1556
01:51:46.000 --> 01:51:49.199
they don't do it anymore, Thank
God with her, because it's so destined

1557
01:51:49.199 --> 01:51:53.840
to fail, is doomed. And
Nila Rose comes out in an orange towel.

1558
01:51:53.960 --> 01:51:57.479
JR. She she's gonna make an
enemy and taz with that, and

1559
01:51:59.479 --> 01:52:02.039
she has some logo on her gear
that Jr doesn't recognize and what does he

1560
01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:06.439
think? It is? The Chick
fil A logo. If that surprises you,

1561
01:52:06.520 --> 01:52:14.119
then we can't be friends. And
Excalibur laughs knowing that you know NILA's

1562
01:52:14.199 --> 01:52:17.239
trans and big trans rights and everything
he goes she does not support chick Fili

1563
01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:23.119
Jim don't go on TV saying Nila
Rose has a Chick fil A logo in

1564
01:52:23.159 --> 01:52:29.000
her ring gear. No, no, not having pretty funny. So this

1565
01:52:29.199 --> 01:52:32.319
beck when they had the smaller women's
title, which actually quite liked, but

1566
01:52:32.479 --> 01:52:34.720
they went with like making the belt
as big as the men's belt, which

1567
01:52:34.720 --> 01:52:38.840
I understand. I don't know.
I don't like it. I think it's

1568
01:52:39.119 --> 01:52:41.760
no, it looks weird. It
looks Honestly, I felt like I was

1569
01:52:41.840 --> 01:52:45.920
watching a feel like it was a
championship belt from like nineteen fifty about it.

1570
01:52:45.239 --> 01:52:49.159
But yeah, they changed course and
that quickly. It didn't look so

1571
01:52:49.239 --> 01:52:53.079
bad when it was on Rio's waist
because she's like the tiniest woman to ever

1572
01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:56.560
win a title in American wrestling ever. So, but as they went to

1573
01:52:56.640 --> 01:52:58.840
like Nyla and some of the bigger
women, was like, okay, yeah

1574
01:52:58.840 --> 01:53:02.199
it does look tiny. So it's
Nila Rose versus Chris stat Lander here for

1575
01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:05.920
the championship lock up to the corner. Crowd pretty quiet coming off that blockbuster

1576
01:53:06.039 --> 01:53:11.479
match. Uh Nilo the side headlock
push off Statland over the lad This was

1577
01:53:11.520 --> 01:53:15.560
a bad place for them too,
Yes, kind of unfortunate. That's been

1578
01:53:15.600 --> 01:53:19.840
like a lifelong lifelong That's been a
an issue at AW since the beginning.

1579
01:53:19.880 --> 01:53:25.920
It's just these people who like count
the minutes of how many how much screen

1580
01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:29.279
time women get. Like CON's been
under tremendous pressure from the beginning to be

1581
01:53:29.399 --> 01:53:32.960
like extra sensitive to you know,
giving what is perceived to be women a

1582
01:53:33.039 --> 01:53:38.479
fair opportunity on his shows, and
yeah, and and putting them in this

1583
01:53:38.600 --> 01:53:42.119
kind of position where they have no
chance of really having a match that sounds

1584
01:53:42.159 --> 01:53:46.800
like it's over what is actually a
little more damaging to a w than it

1585
01:53:46.800 --> 01:53:50.359
would be to be the typical wrestling
promotion because of that, that constituency and

1586
01:53:50.439 --> 01:53:54.600
that mentality that's at play. So
neither with the side headlock push off,

1587
01:53:54.640 --> 01:53:57.640
stant Leonard does kind of a leap
frog and they can collide shoulders and then

1588
01:53:57.640 --> 01:54:00.439
they try to negotiate who's going to
hit the ropes next, but Like kicks

1589
01:54:00.439 --> 01:54:03.960
her and Nila knocks her down and
stat Lander kIPS up and loses her footing

1590
01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:08.680
though she has a bad wheel and
she had a lot of knee injuries and

1591
01:54:08.760 --> 01:54:13.279
problems and underwent big time knee surgery
at a certain point in a w and

1592
01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:15.840
this is before she's wearing the knee
braces, but you can tell the knee

1593
01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:18.159
is very weak. Yeah, I
don't care. Several times she tries to

1594
01:54:18.199 --> 01:54:21.479
do things a lot of fans.
She tries to step over to hold fills

1595
01:54:21.520 --> 01:54:25.439
on that stat Lander flips on her
and Moon salts for the two. You

1596
01:54:25.520 --> 01:54:28.680
can hear a pin drop at this
point to the ramp. Stat Lander is

1597
01:54:28.680 --> 01:54:30.640
whipped in and leaps into the face
plants trying I guess a spear, but

1598
01:54:30.760 --> 01:54:33.760
she just lands on her face.
Then Nilis spears her in the room.

1599
01:54:33.840 --> 01:54:36.039
That gets the crowd up a bit. That gets a two count for Nili

1600
01:54:36.119 --> 01:54:42.439
los jarisis Nihili's big athletic, powerful
woman. See that with aldue respect here,

1601
01:54:42.520 --> 01:54:45.920
Yeah, he'll hear listen to him
here. I was a big powerful

1602
01:54:45.960 --> 01:54:49.720
woman cover and I say that in
all due respect. It's an athletic,

1603
01:54:49.800 --> 01:54:54.720
big powerful woman. Yeah, who
could fly right through the ropes at time.

1604
01:54:56.039 --> 01:55:00.000
It's Tony. Tony says that he
says that time take a fucking shine

1605
01:55:00.119 --> 01:55:04.640
for the ropes that time and as
opposed to the other time they mentioned that

1606
01:55:04.680 --> 01:55:08.640
C two E two is next door
shout out Gabe on that there we go

1607
01:55:08.960 --> 01:55:11.439
and said that they actually saw people
dressed as Chris dat Lander at that thing.

1608
01:55:11.439 --> 01:55:13.760
I'll believe it when I see it. They all say, the Tony

1609
01:55:13.800 --> 01:55:15.800
Shavanni about ten thousand dollars worth of
Batman How do we know? How do

1610
01:55:15.880 --> 01:55:18.479
we know? How do we know? Chris dat Lanner wasn't dressed like that.

1611
01:55:18.880 --> 01:55:21.840
Yeah, it wasn't really a distinctive
look. And they say that Shavanni

1612
01:55:21.840 --> 01:55:25.640
about ten thousand dollars worth of Batman
stuff at the convention, and he laughs

1613
01:55:25.680 --> 01:55:29.479
and says, you're not far off. So a Batman mark? Who knew?

1614
01:55:29.640 --> 01:55:30.600
I didn't know that. I didn't
know that at all? Did Adam

1615
01:55:30.640 --> 01:55:33.439
West room? Like Jerry Lawler has
a Coca Cola room at his house,

1616
01:55:34.439 --> 01:55:41.079
all creepy and shit, just sits. Sometimes sometimes you know what's his wife's

1617
01:55:41.119 --> 01:55:44.520
name, Lois, Lois Lois.
Some of those Lois will walk down the

1618
01:55:44.640 --> 01:55:49.479
stairs and it's like she'll see she'll
see him in the room and it's completely

1619
01:55:50.199 --> 01:55:58.079
it's completely dark except there he has. He's just sitting there. She's not

1620
01:55:58.159 --> 01:56:01.560
looking at anything. He does not
manipulating. He's like sitting in the middle

1621
01:56:01.600 --> 01:56:04.439
of the room with all this Batman
shot around. But he's got kind of

1622
01:56:04.680 --> 01:56:09.800
he's got one of those overhead lights. But it's a bat signal, and

1623
01:56:09.880 --> 01:56:12.560
she's like peering down on him in
in the middle of the room. So

1624
01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:15.439
he's just sitting there, sitting there, not saying anything, not He's just

1625
01:56:15.680 --> 01:56:21.439
brooding. He's brooding like a Bruce
Wayne Woods, not saying a word,

1626
01:56:24.279 --> 01:56:28.840
Tony, no answer. He's like
in a daze. He's completely in a

1627
01:56:28.920 --> 01:56:33.640
trance. He's absorbs the batman essence. That's fine, I think, is

1628
01:56:33.680 --> 01:56:36.960
what you're trying to say. Yeah, it's normal. Sat Leonard with a

1629
01:56:36.960 --> 01:56:42.399
superkick that drops Rose kind of sluggish
there. Then she hits, uh,

1630
01:56:42.640 --> 01:56:49.279
let's see hit the fuck wrote there. She doesn't intiguri dropping lead to the

1631
01:56:49.279 --> 01:56:53.800
floor. She goes stat Lander with
a suicide dive, drives her into the

1632
01:56:53.880 --> 01:56:56.479
rail. Jeris is the king.
The key thing here is that was a

1633
01:56:56.560 --> 01:57:00.640
beautiful offensive move. Now it was
offensive. Does you want to beat her

1634
01:57:00.640 --> 01:57:02.840
by count out? You want to
get her in the range best? Okay?

1635
01:57:02.920 --> 01:57:08.039
Jim Jesus calmed down. He screaming
at her for not trying to win

1636
01:57:08.199 --> 01:57:12.279
by anything with count out. I
know stat when sat Lander throws forearms,

1637
01:57:12.520 --> 01:57:16.039
this is what she says. That's
why I got hit. Dah yeah,

1638
01:57:16.840 --> 01:57:32.079
ta makes it better to ton of
sounds like Harley, yeah heah yeah.

1639
01:57:33.039 --> 01:57:36.520
Back in stat Landard goes up top
hits se seated missile drop kick, because

1640
01:57:36.560 --> 01:57:43.079
any any women's match worth its salt
has to have a seated missile drop kick

1641
01:57:43.119 --> 01:57:46.840
in it, because otherwise it will
not have been influenced by Joshi women women's

1642
01:57:46.880 --> 01:57:53.680
seed hit. Dropping kicks is necessary
in professional entertacks too. Tony Falter for

1643
01:57:53.760 --> 01:57:56.920
not walking in a tight circle before
covering, or four walking in a tight

1644
01:57:57.000 --> 01:58:00.079
circle before going for the cover.
She didn't want a tight circle fans and

1645
01:58:00.119 --> 01:58:03.880
they keep talking, oh yeah,
we all know what that means. And

1646
01:58:04.000 --> 01:58:08.560
they keep talking about how she's such
a breakout star and a phenomenon. And

1647
01:58:09.560 --> 01:58:13.600
I don't remember feeling this heavy handed, but it just feels like someone backstage

1648
01:58:14.000 --> 01:58:16.239
really wants her to be something.
You gotta that's what you gotta do.

1649
01:58:17.159 --> 01:58:19.800
Right then you realize there's nothing.
Start him first into the buckle and then

1650
01:58:19.800 --> 01:58:24.079
a rabbit Larry at Lands for Nyla
Rose stat Lander is draped on top.

1651
01:58:24.399 --> 01:58:28.640
She does the it's just death.
I mean, these at least two have

1652
01:58:28.840 --> 01:58:32.880
nothing, nothing going together. It's
such a fucking disaster. Yes, it

1653
01:58:33.039 --> 01:58:36.079
is. She blows a kiss to
the bad as Nyla, she kicks no

1654
01:58:36.199 --> 01:58:39.319
roll up. Then he kicks her
in the face. Oh, then she's

1655
01:58:39.439 --> 01:58:41.680
the boop. This is something stat
Lander used to do. She pokes you

1656
01:58:41.760 --> 01:58:46.199
in the head like boop on the
nose. And then d I gets two

1657
01:58:47.199 --> 01:58:50.680
and tight puts on the stf releases
and goes for a splash across the knees,

1658
01:58:50.720 --> 01:58:54.159
but stat Landard does the drop kick
to the head and goes up to

1659
01:58:54.199 --> 01:58:57.439
a power bomb off of her conrona
for two. That's the beast bomb we're

1660
01:58:57.439 --> 01:58:59.920
told landing for Nila Rose, so
you know, at least they go for

1661
01:59:00.119 --> 01:59:02.439
attempt at Rhana encounter with a power
bomb that at least adds half the star.

1662
01:59:03.319 --> 01:59:06.800
Then Nila Rose climbs gets cut off. She's crotched trying the superplex.

1663
01:59:06.880 --> 01:59:11.279
It's taking forever at goddamn it,
and that bad wheel again. She loses

1664
01:59:11.359 --> 01:59:14.720
her footing and falls down and Nyla
has to flip over into the ring.

1665
01:59:14.760 --> 01:59:17.960
Anyway, it's just a disaster that
gets too and then stat Lander mounts with

1666
01:59:18.039 --> 01:59:21.319
punches. Uh. Referee peels her
off though for some reason, like you

1667
01:59:21.359 --> 01:59:25.399
can't just punch somebody in a wrestling
match. Now the Rose with the boot

1668
01:59:25.439 --> 01:59:31.000
middle of inverted is her positioning?
It call this? Stat Lander cuts her

1669
01:59:31.039 --> 01:59:34.239
off, tries for the superhook and
rhana, but she's blocked hanging in the

1670
01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:38.600
tree of woe, and Nila Rose
tries, like hell the yanker from that

1671
01:59:38.680 --> 01:59:42.880
position up to the shoulders. She
beardly can do it, so she just

1672
01:59:43.000 --> 01:59:46.199
kind of dumps her at a lazy
angle from that position and off the ropes

1673
01:59:46.279 --> 01:59:49.359
with the power bomb. One,
two three, Nila Rose twelve minutes and

1674
01:59:49.399 --> 01:59:55.239
forty five seconds. But who's counting? Contains over Wall stat Lander here at

1675
01:59:55.279 --> 01:59:59.039
Revolution Jr. Says the big champ
is getting more athletic by the week,

1676
02:00:00.359 --> 02:00:03.560
and I don't know what that means. Chris Statlander was a star in the

1677
02:00:03.640 --> 02:00:08.840
making, and if you just got
pinned, that's very simple. She's sure

1678
02:00:08.920 --> 02:00:12.640
her stats have only just landed,
so she may be the Native Beast,

1679
02:00:12.840 --> 02:00:20.239
but now it's presumably time for a
Native Feast. Jr. Plugs the podcast

1680
02:00:20.319 --> 02:00:24.159
that Vanni and Aubrey Edwards had at
the time, which I don't think they

1681
02:00:24.199 --> 02:00:27.159
have any more, and he says
there's not a more personal match on the

1682
02:00:27.199 --> 02:00:29.880
card to Night than Cody versus MJF, and they do the package in black

1683
02:00:29.920 --> 02:00:31.960
and white with Cody tapping up MJF
in the early days when they were friends,

1684
02:00:32.000 --> 02:00:35.560
and they say Cody was the first
person who believed in MJF. Back

1685
02:00:35.560 --> 02:00:41.279
in November, Jericho and Cody were
having no I believe in NJF before everybody.

1686
02:00:41.319 --> 02:00:43.039
That's right, you did. We
were there and he was on the

1687
02:00:43.119 --> 02:00:46.479
card because of Cody believing in him
too. He just recently told the story

1688
02:00:47.359 --> 02:00:50.720
and God damn it, I forgot
the details on aw television of how he

1689
02:00:50.960 --> 02:00:59.159
came to be on that card and
how he owed somebody for and I'm sorry

1690
02:00:59.159 --> 02:01:01.039
I remember the details, but they
came up just a couple of weeks ago.

1691
02:01:01.359 --> 02:01:05.840
So in that Cody Jericho match,
MJF actually threw in the towel,

1692
02:01:06.840 --> 02:01:11.079
costing Cody a title shot forever.
And you know, I was trying to

1693
02:01:11.119 --> 02:01:15.199
tell Cody he did it because he
thought Cody was in trouble, and and

1694
02:01:15.319 --> 02:01:17.760
gives him a nutshot and turns on
him. He says he's dead to me,

1695
02:01:18.000 --> 02:01:24.800
and how Cody wanted to Andrew's thumb
stipulations are heading into the match that

1696
02:01:24.880 --> 02:01:28.239
Cody can't touch Max. So they're
building that contact up big time. They

1697
02:01:28.279 --> 02:01:31.000
had a match between Cody and Wardlow
and a cage in Atlanta where Cody did

1698
02:01:31.079 --> 02:01:34.079
the moon salt for the industry on
a cage that was way too high and

1699
02:01:34.119 --> 02:01:41.239
he didn't realize that Wardlow remember that, remember when he was too when he

1700
02:01:41.279 --> 02:01:46.119
was mjf's muscle. Absolutely, And
they did another angle where m JF gave

1701
02:01:46.199 --> 02:01:49.600
him Cody ten lashes to his bare
back on television. That was good stuff,

1702
02:01:51.680 --> 02:01:56.039
and Cody with the moon salt is
mentioned. Cody singers something a chapter

1703
02:01:56.119 --> 02:02:00.279
in my story, Max, and
that's story he's still going since indeed is

1704
02:02:01.239 --> 02:02:04.680
that story doesn't seem to be in
anytime soon. I think I have a

1705
02:02:04.720 --> 02:02:09.560
funny feeling that story is going to
never be finished, and actually he's gonna

1706
02:02:09.640 --> 02:02:13.239
die before he writes a final chapter. You're saying he's never going to finish

1707
02:02:13.279 --> 02:02:15.239
the story. Is that what you're
saying? Right here now? I am

1708
02:02:15.359 --> 02:02:18.319
saying, I've listen. I don't
think he's going to finish the story.

1709
02:02:19.920 --> 02:02:23.279
The only story, I'll tell you
what, The only story I think he

1710
02:02:23.439 --> 02:02:29.439
may finish is getting that fucking seth
rollins belt. Yeah, that's the only

1711
02:02:29.520 --> 02:02:33.199
story. No, it just not
absolutely not people are saying that it's definitely

1712
02:02:33.239 --> 02:02:39.800
Cody and Roman again a mania.
Well, I'll believe it when I see

1713
02:02:39.800 --> 02:02:45.840
it Philly. I'm not convinced yet. I I I'll tell you again.

1714
02:02:45.000 --> 02:02:48.560
You know, I said it.
I said it Sunday. I see a

1715
02:02:48.640 --> 02:02:53.640
lot of upside and the the the
granted, the minimal stuff that I've seen

1716
02:02:53.760 --> 02:02:59.520
in uh In, mister mister La
Knight. And it wouldn't surprise me if

1717
02:03:00.680 --> 02:03:04.119
again I think that. I think
Ellie Knight is is Cody's biggest threat in

1718
02:03:04.319 --> 02:03:10.720
terms of finishing the story. Coming
up in Philly April sixth and seven.

1719
02:03:11.720 --> 02:03:15.640
We'll see. So they played the
remix the m JF song and uh,

1720
02:03:15.119 --> 02:03:18.239
oh, here you want to you
want to listen to the incredible. By

1721
02:03:18.279 --> 02:03:23.560
the way, I didn't know this, uh the band the frontman for the

1722
02:03:23.560 --> 02:03:28.840
band, Eddie Kingston. No,
I didn't. Uh here, uh here

1723
02:03:28.920 --> 02:04:33.800
we go. It already sucks.
It is the worst live version of a

1724
02:04:33.880 --> 02:04:42.359
wrestling theme I have ever heard.
It is atrocious. It's embarrassing. And

1725
02:04:43.039 --> 02:04:45.880
because not only does it like I
mean, I feel like, what are

1726
02:04:45.920 --> 02:04:50.439
we? What are we at a
fucking bar? It just sounds so bad.

1727
02:04:53.399 --> 02:04:56.680
I don't what are the most depressing
things in life to me was the

1728
02:04:56.720 --> 02:05:01.039
realization that not every hit musician sounds
the same in concert as they do when

1729
02:05:01.039 --> 02:05:06.399
they recorded hit single. Are they
a hit? But even my point is

1730
02:05:06.479 --> 02:05:11.680
even great, you know popular positions
sometimes yes, it's yes. It was

1731
02:05:11.760 --> 02:05:15.560
so depressing to me that you could
go to a concert hoping to hear this.

1732
02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:17.399
These guys played this song, and
when they played it sounds nothing like

1733
02:05:17.520 --> 02:05:20.760
what you've listened to a thousand times
on CD or whatever. Yep, yep.

1734
02:05:21.039 --> 02:05:25.560
This is an example. Sometimes sometimes
that can be really great. I've

1735
02:05:26.279 --> 02:05:30.880
sometimes sometimes when they played different than
what you've heard, it's actually like,

1736
02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:34.920
oh wow, I never I didn't
think of it that way, And it

1737
02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:44.159
can be a neat kind of alternative
to really date myself, like I think

1738
02:05:44.239 --> 02:05:48.239
of uh, there's I used to
love this when I was in high school.

1739
02:05:49.920 --> 02:05:53.960
When I was I don't say I
was a huge Dave Matthews fan,

1740
02:05:54.039 --> 02:05:59.159
but I was a Dave Matthews fan
of sorts. And I can't remember what

1741
02:05:59.279 --> 02:06:00.760
was his first big hit it.
Do you remember this first big hit at

1742
02:06:00.800 --> 02:06:09.920
all? Make these chance? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that one,

1743
02:06:10.079 --> 02:06:15.000
that one whatever song that was.
There's a live version where there's a crazy

1744
02:06:15.159 --> 02:06:23.000
ass long, just the drum hitting
the and it's like a seven minute version

1745
02:06:23.039 --> 02:06:30.680
of the song. And yes,
it's not like it's a great alternative to

1746
02:06:30.840 --> 02:06:36.960
the actual recording, you know,
the actual album release and this live version

1747
02:06:38.319 --> 02:06:43.359
it's very very good. It's not
the same, but it's very very good.

1748
02:06:43.399 --> 02:06:48.000
And I always liked it and I
liked having both. But yes,

1749
02:06:48.199 --> 02:06:55.039
there are times when it's the opposite
and where it's realized sound on tape because

1750
02:06:55.119 --> 02:06:58.920
they had all the production touches right, and they knew how to fucking and

1751
02:06:59.000 --> 02:07:00.720
see they had someone who knew how
to mix properly. These guys aren't trying

1752
02:07:00.760 --> 02:07:05.720
to do a different live version of
the song. They're trying to do and

1753
02:07:05.840 --> 02:07:11.359
this is and and not only is
are they bad, but also the sound

1754
02:07:11.439 --> 02:07:17.199
system is bad. It's all bad. They go over the entrances on the

1755
02:07:17.239 --> 02:07:21.079
show anyway, like there's too many
of special interest, Mean, what is

1756
02:07:21.119 --> 02:07:26.119
this fucking like it's not even their
biggest show of the year, like stop

1757
02:07:26.520 --> 02:07:30.399
like pick one? Maybe not every
do it to WrestleMania, right, they

1758
02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:34.079
do it to WrestleMania, you know, And that's okay. Sometimes I don't

1759
02:07:34.159 --> 02:07:39.119
like it because again, more often
than not, it does not sound as

1760
02:07:39.199 --> 02:07:43.760
good as the version that they play. It hits, it really hits.

1761
02:07:44.560 --> 02:07:47.560
You know, it's it's it's really
there's some legendary ones, but yeah,

1762
02:07:47.600 --> 02:07:54.119
there's so many that go nowhere.
So yeah, here he comes with.

1763
02:07:54.520 --> 02:07:56.840
This is back when he's still being
led to the ring by his you know

1764
02:07:58.159 --> 02:08:01.960
is people like Brandy she's out there
and the others in the track jackets and

1765
02:08:01.960 --> 02:08:05.920
stuff. Is a pretty cool thing. You tell he's like closely studying boxing

1766
02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:09.880
and MMA talked about this at the
time, and then he also I also

1767
02:08:09.000 --> 02:08:13.239
was in press. He comes out
with with the Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy

1768
02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:18.840
Reid also known as Arn Anderson.
Oh well, he does have the clipboard

1769
02:08:18.880 --> 02:08:22.880
in front of his mouth, so
it's clipboard. He's wear a fucking sweater

1770
02:08:22.000 --> 02:08:26.000
vest, Uncle Arn over here fucking
idiots. So yeah, I guess this

1771
02:08:26.159 --> 02:08:28.359
is the tattoo, the neck tattooed
reveal. I didn't realize that, but

1772
02:08:28.359 --> 02:08:31.680
there it is. Cody. I
do remember. I don't remember being here,

1773
02:08:31.720 --> 02:08:35.119
but I do remember when it was
revealed and everyone was like, what

1774
02:08:35.239 --> 02:08:39.520
the fuck is that? That's amazing
time to be alive. I still think

1775
02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:45.880
it's stupid. Cody vers m JF. Cody fires out intensely as MJF takes

1776
02:08:45.880 --> 02:08:48.079
a powder. Tony calls it an
entrance for a big times. Do you

1777
02:08:48.159 --> 02:08:50.079
know why? Do you know why
he does that? Do you know why

1778
02:08:50.159 --> 02:08:52.640
he does that? Because m JFF
is the greatest heel of the modern at

1779
02:08:54.520 --> 02:08:58.840
okay, and I love it?
I love it? Fuck up Cody.

1780
02:09:00.479 --> 02:09:03.520
Cody dives in a single to the
corner. M DF dodges that goes underneath

1781
02:09:03.520 --> 02:09:05.800
and Cody whips on an arm track. MJF missus an elbow. He tries

1782
02:09:05.840 --> 02:09:09.840
the cutter that's blocked. MJF bales
again, hops the rail and clips off

1783
02:09:09.880 --> 02:09:15.680
the people in the crowd, and
then you know he does Joy does fucking

1784
02:09:15.760 --> 02:09:18.840
swipes the hat off of slaps it
ref his head. Fucking awesome, come

1785
02:09:18.880 --> 02:09:26.680
on, folks, fucking awesome.
I'm sorry, he's he's you can't deny

1786
02:09:26.760 --> 02:09:31.279
it. And there's this fan that's
an all shows in Chicago. I don't

1787
02:09:31.279 --> 02:09:33.800
know his name, but like that. He was like the first one they

1788
02:09:33.800 --> 02:09:37.560
cut to when see him, Harvey
Harvey when Munk came out the first time

1789
02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:39.760
at the United Center, going oh
my god. You can see the way

1790
02:09:39.800 --> 02:09:43.800
he says God because he is the
god Chicago Gods. You can see it.

1791
02:09:43.880 --> 02:09:46.119
It's spelled gah d whever that guy
is. MJF throws a drink in

1792
02:09:46.159 --> 02:09:50.840
his face, so yes he does. And that's fucking money at Jared Christ

1793
02:09:52.640 --> 02:09:58.199
customer different, Okay, it's it's
he's on a fucking different level than any

1794
02:09:58.760 --> 02:10:05.600
per person in that costs are all
right, and there there there two.

1795
02:10:05.800 --> 02:10:09.039
I see it as a baby face
in London, terrific. Yes, he's

1796
02:10:09.079 --> 02:10:16.159
great, he's so great. I
commend both he I also commend the company

1797
02:10:16.600 --> 02:10:24.239
for allowing him to just beasts,
because it does take both sides that will

1798
02:10:24.319 --> 02:10:28.239
lead you to the Promised Land every
time. Yep, I mean, I

1799
02:10:28.319 --> 02:10:33.439
guess, I guess it's completely I
mean, it's completely the opposite of what

1800
02:10:33.479 --> 02:10:37.760
I was just fucking saying about about
John Moxley. I don't know why.

1801
02:10:37.800 --> 02:10:41.800
I just don't care John Moxley.
John Moxley doesn't make me feel anything.

1802
02:10:43.159 --> 02:10:48.800
MJF makes me fucking feel that's what
he does. John Moxley's a fucking douchebag.

1803
02:10:48.920 --> 02:10:52.880
So actually I don't. I guess
that's where what it really comes down

1804
02:10:52.920 --> 02:10:56.039
to is that I don't care if
John Moxley's happy or not. His happiness

1805
02:10:56.079 --> 02:11:01.239
does nothing for me. MJF being
happy, that's important to me. And

1806
02:11:01.359 --> 02:11:03.399
it's tough. It's tough to make
him happy, which is a good thing.

1807
02:11:03.399 --> 02:11:05.600
Yes, it's his character. You
know, I don't know what he's

1808
02:11:05.600 --> 02:11:09.319
like backstage because hes such a gimmick
that you don't know, which is terrific.

1809
02:11:09.359 --> 02:11:11.680
That's way it should be. Yes, that's the way. It's exactly

1810
02:11:11.720 --> 02:11:15.960
the way it should be. The
only person who should know what MJF.

1811
02:11:16.880 --> 02:11:20.880
There are two people who should know
what MJFF is really like. His is

1812
02:11:20.359 --> 02:11:26.880
he married the Okay sees him about
that on TV all the time. All

1813
02:11:28.000 --> 02:11:31.359
right, Well, that would have
been her. But although then again,

1814
02:11:31.399 --> 02:11:35.039
maybe he's not real with her.
That's that's part of the problem. But

1815
02:11:35.199 --> 02:11:37.640
also I would imagine, you know, Tony Kahn should know a little bit

1816
02:11:37.680 --> 02:11:41.119
of the real im shock, so
that they negotiated, they did the whole

1817
02:11:41.199 --> 02:11:45.960
work. Shoot, Yeah, he
said he's a fucking mark and yeah,

1818
02:11:46.199 --> 02:11:48.479
I loved it. I loved it. I thought it was great. Yeah,

1819
02:11:48.520 --> 02:11:50.159
he's the whole thing. He's the
guy, he's the guy that's going

1820
02:11:50.239 --> 02:11:52.800
to pull off the main angle just
about every time as long as he's around.

1821
02:11:52.840 --> 02:11:56.720
Yep, yep, so yeah,
JFF gets back and the rain.

1822
02:11:56.760 --> 02:12:00.439
Cody goes to the gut drops him
the kick. They exchange why hands coded

1823
02:12:00.479 --> 02:12:03.199
to the drop down upper cut and
lands a cutter for the kind of one.

1824
02:12:03.479 --> 02:12:05.439
Cody then runs up the aisle,
goes all the way to the back

1825
02:12:05.479 --> 02:12:09.239
and does a full sprint down the
rampway and larry it's MJF over the ropes.

1826
02:12:09.239 --> 02:12:13.520
Let's see arn Anderson quote called that
play. Oh boy ah Yes.

1827
02:12:15.399 --> 02:12:18.640
Excalibur says the phalangis of m JF
were stomped. That is to say,

1828
02:12:20.439 --> 02:12:24.920
the fingers. Yes, MJF back
clips out of holding the leg and MGF

1829
02:12:24.960 --> 02:12:30.159
stumps the toe. They mentioned that
Cody came with a crushed toe. Okay,

1830
02:12:30.359 --> 02:12:33.960
Cody, it's forearm. MGF Jr. Says MJF always has his ear

1831
02:12:33.039 --> 02:12:37.560
to the ground, so he always
knows about injuries and things guys are trying

1832
02:12:37.560 --> 02:12:39.319
to hide, so he has no
doubt that MGF came in knowing to attack

1833
02:12:39.359 --> 02:12:43.199
the toe. The broken toe.
Cody with a multiple revolutions on an Alabama

1834
02:12:43.279 --> 02:12:48.399
slam like that move a lot or
he stops for a second spinning and then

1835
02:12:48.439 --> 02:12:50.880
he restarts. He pulled him up
at one though we didn't want the cover

1836
02:12:50.960 --> 02:12:54.279
off that thing. Jr. Says, m JF, can I tell you

1837
02:12:54.399 --> 02:12:56.039
something though, there's a there's a
moment here that that that we just passed,

1838
02:12:56.079 --> 02:13:00.359
and I want you to I don't
know if if I missed you saying

1839
02:13:00.399 --> 02:13:01.840
it or what, but I think
to me, this is another example of

1840
02:13:01.840 --> 02:13:09.199
why MJF is the best. Okay, he goes to kick Cody. Cody

1841
02:13:09.239 --> 02:13:13.840
grabs the leg thinking he's in control. Dude, that's it right there.

1842
02:13:13.800 --> 02:13:18.439
MJF has Cody thinking he is in
control. Cody is not in control.

1843
02:13:20.880 --> 02:13:24.600
Cody attempts to flip MJFF over right. M jeff Land's on his feet,

1844
02:13:24.840 --> 02:13:28.760
right, Cody pissed? What does
he do? He charges? What does

1845
02:13:28.880 --> 02:13:31.640
MJF do? He pokes him in
the eye. That's not even the good

1846
02:13:31.680 --> 02:13:37.319
part. That's not the good part. The good part is right after he

1847
02:13:37.479 --> 02:13:46.119
pokes Cody in the eye, MJF
turns around and poses like he's God's gift.

1848
02:13:46.199 --> 02:13:50.239
Oh my god, do you know
why he does that? Because he

1849
02:13:50.399 --> 02:14:01.359
is God's gift. That kind of
ship is fucking money. I love it

1850
02:14:01.479 --> 02:14:07.039
so much. I love he's around, and so you have something to get

1851
02:14:07.119 --> 02:14:11.199
excited about. Yep, I look, the proof the proof of concept is

1852
02:14:11.279 --> 02:14:16.399
in folks. I mean, he's
he's the only thing that's reliably great on

1853
02:14:16.479 --> 02:14:18.720
the show. There are plenty of
guys who do great stuff in a W,

1854
02:14:20.640 --> 02:14:24.720
but whenever he's involved in is going
somewhere. The four way the four

1855
02:14:24.800 --> 02:14:30.319
pillars thing was kind of weak and
goofy, but he They did a four

1856
02:14:30.359 --> 02:14:35.119
way at double or Nothing where was
him, Darby, Sammy and oh god,

1857
02:14:35.439 --> 02:14:39.159
Jack Perry, And they were like
the four pillars of a W.

1858
02:14:39.399 --> 02:14:41.600
That is to say, the four
guys that the future is built on.

1859
02:14:41.720 --> 02:14:43.560
And they did a four way off
that storyline and it got it got a

1860
02:14:43.600 --> 02:14:46.039
little weak. Not everybody was strong, and the promos there wasn't you know,

1861
02:14:46.199 --> 02:14:48.760
MGF wasn't really allowed to shine that
much in terms of, like,

1862
02:14:48.880 --> 02:14:52.359
you know, one to one interpersonal
issue. It's pretty good. It wasn't

1863
02:14:52.399 --> 02:14:56.279
that bad. He made the most
you could out of it. But it

1864
02:14:56.399 --> 02:15:00.840
was a time of distinct weakness for
a W with all the stuff and everything.

1865
02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:05.439
But yeah, I agree, I'm
the guy's just phenomenal to watch and

1866
02:15:05.479 --> 02:15:07.920
to see him so seamlessly become a
baby face here is just wonderful. I'm

1867
02:15:07.920 --> 02:15:11.960
sure Cole's going to turn on him
and then we're going to get a vengeful

1868
02:15:11.039 --> 02:15:15.439
baby face MJF instead of a vengeful
heel MPF. And I'm sure that'll be

1869
02:15:15.479 --> 02:15:18.319
great to watch. I think,
yeah, I think he is just I

1870
02:15:18.399 --> 02:15:26.079
think he is limitless. Crowd can
count on you to entertain them every time

1871
02:15:26.199 --> 02:15:28.880
like he does that. That's when
you're in the money, because it's like,

1872
02:15:30.079 --> 02:15:35.399
you know, the crowd already is
favorably disposed towards your stuff because you've

1873
02:15:35.520 --> 02:15:39.680
so consistently delivered something that was just
a little more intriguing than you would expect

1874
02:15:39.720 --> 02:15:43.720
looking at it on paper, just
a little bit better executed than you would

1875
02:15:43.720 --> 02:15:48.760
expect. It reminds me, he
honestly reminds me in a way of of

1876
02:15:48.880 --> 02:15:56.960
Bruno interesting and not certainly in terms
of his delivery or his stature style,

1877
02:15:58.079 --> 02:16:01.000
you know, right, But it
has to do with you watch all the

1878
02:16:01.119 --> 02:16:09.399
other ship and it's fine, But
then you watch Bruno as we've known and

1879
02:16:09.800 --> 02:16:13.920
as we've seen, and it's on
a different level of intensity from the crowd.

1880
02:16:13.039 --> 02:16:18.880
It's MJF is and in the in
the in ring stuff too. It's

1881
02:16:18.880 --> 02:16:22.840
just everything feels different, everything feels
heightened. Yeah, he feels like a

1882
02:16:22.880 --> 02:16:28.600
guy operating on a higher level to
win matches. Like absolutely, absolutely,

1883
02:16:28.039 --> 02:16:33.559
that's pretty pretty good stuff. It
is he really, he's phenomenal. Jr.

1884
02:16:33.600 --> 02:16:35.040
Shouts up. Has m jf ever
been to the woodshed before? Hey

1885
02:16:35.120 --> 02:16:37.000
kid, you're in the woodshed?
Okay, Jim, No one knows that

1886
02:16:37.920 --> 02:16:41.000
in the wood shed before? Hey
kid, you're in the wood shit,

1887
02:16:41.079 --> 02:16:45.879
Jim, none knows what that means. Thanks. So Wardlow yanks mjf out

1888
02:16:45.879 --> 02:16:48.760
of the way in the charge.
Then Brandy comes over to Wardlow and throws

1889
02:16:48.760 --> 02:16:50.319
a drink in his face, acts
like she did something big, and then

1890
02:16:50.360 --> 02:16:54.639
she runs behind arn Anderson so they
can't attack her. He steps to arn

1891
02:16:54.680 --> 02:16:58.399
Anderson, does Wardlow and kind of
cuts him off beautifully with a tope Wardlow,

1892
02:16:58.479 --> 02:17:05.159
that is, she is fucking remember
when she walked by us at starcasts

1893
02:17:05.200 --> 02:17:07.680
and like the whole room, like
the whole hallway at this hotel just fell

1894
02:17:07.719 --> 02:17:11.360
into silence. Yeah, I mean
she like fucking radiates. And look,

1895
02:17:13.040 --> 02:17:16.680
I'm she has so many positive qualities. But I'm telling you, when we

1896
02:17:16.799 --> 02:17:20.040
talk about those days at the end
where Cody was getting booed nine times out

1897
02:17:20.079 --> 02:17:24.399
of ten, yea and it was
coincident with the reality show and him,

1898
02:17:24.559 --> 02:17:28.200
you know, oh, total and
small talk over coffee at the thing at

1899
02:17:28.239 --> 02:17:31.639
the at the fucking breakfast nook.
She's not a positive for him on television.

1900
02:17:31.280 --> 02:17:35.079
No, not unless you you wanted
to be a heel. Don't be

1901
02:17:35.120 --> 02:17:37.639
a heel. Great, great,
she's bring to see her. They want

1902
02:17:37.639 --> 02:17:39.879
a boo her, and that's something
she's never gonna be able to do anything

1903
02:17:39.879 --> 02:17:43.520
about. And because he is where
he is to be right now, consistently

1904
02:17:43.600 --> 02:17:50.959
over because she is not involved.
Yeah, get her involved and watching gorgeous

1905
02:17:50.000 --> 02:17:56.520
eyes. She's got big tits like
you just you know, everyone's gonna be

1906
02:17:56.639 --> 02:18:05.680
pissed because they know, they know, they know how hard Cody gives it

1907
02:18:05.760 --> 02:18:11.120
to her, and they want to
give it to her too. I think

1908
02:18:11.159 --> 02:18:15.120
it's Yeah, I think it's that. I think it's even it's more like

1909
02:18:16.799 --> 02:18:20.040
she's trying to you know, it's
it's it's impossible for her to avoid being

1910
02:18:20.120 --> 02:18:24.559
perceived as trying to lap up some
of the spotlight. Sure, but it

1911
02:18:24.639 --> 02:18:28.280
always comes back down to look at
what he gets to go home to,

1912
02:18:30.280 --> 02:18:35.520
Look what she gets to fuck whenever
he wants. She's out there, when

1913
02:18:35.559 --> 02:18:39.360
she's on recumentaries, and stuff,
right, but as long as she's on

1914
02:18:39.600 --> 02:18:45.040
camera and you are reminded because just
the look, just seeing her reminds you

1915
02:18:45.399 --> 02:18:50.479
of something that you will never have
that okay, I think even more,

1916
02:18:50.600 --> 02:18:54.159
you will never have it. It's
that she you know, he's he's like

1917
02:18:54.959 --> 02:18:58.840
elite, He's an elite talent.
She is not. But out of deference

1918
02:18:58.879 --> 02:19:03.159
to her, she's always going to
share in his spotlight and just not sure,

1919
02:19:03.319 --> 02:19:05.440
not be able to necessarily offer a
whole hell of a lot to make

1920
02:19:05.479 --> 02:19:09.040
engaging television. She tried to be
a wrestler at a w as a disaster,

1921
02:19:09.319 --> 02:19:11.079
a fucking disaster, and she insisted
on it, and everyone had to

1922
02:19:11.120 --> 02:19:13.639
sit around and kind of act like
it was a great idea, and everyone

1923
02:19:13.719 --> 02:19:18.280
knew it was a bad idea,
and the market plays eventually delivered that message

1924
02:19:18.319 --> 02:19:20.040
to her and she went and had
a baby. So that had a lot

1925
02:19:20.079 --> 02:19:22.280
to do with it as well.
But I'm sure she wants to get back

1926
02:19:22.280 --> 02:19:24.920
in the ring. I'm sure she
agitates and private moments with Cody about getting

1927
02:19:24.959 --> 02:19:31.360
back it. Stop save save Cody
from you. Think of think of the

1928
02:19:31.479 --> 02:19:35.399
times that he think of it time. Okay, think of this, Okay,

1929
02:19:35.239 --> 02:19:46.360
think of the times Triple h and
Stephanie. Cody and Brandy have had

1930
02:19:46.440 --> 02:19:52.760
dinner at Peter Luger's fucking hell eating
steak. Come on, and she wants

1931
02:19:52.840 --> 02:19:54.719
so badly, like she starts talking
about when can I come in? She

1932
02:19:54.799 --> 02:19:58.920
wants she wants me Stephanie. I
mean, they were Triple Light and Stephanie

1933
02:19:58.959 --> 02:20:01.319
in the beginning of a w It's
kind of sad to see that they choose

1934
02:20:01.360 --> 02:20:05.159
to pattern themselves after someone that do. Cody's out there smashing the throne with

1935
02:20:05.239 --> 02:20:09.280
a sledgehammer at the first double or
nothing and then turning around and trying to

1936
02:20:09.319 --> 02:20:13.000
conduct himself precisely like Triple Asian Stephanie. Ye ye. But yeah, they

1937
02:20:13.040 --> 02:20:18.040
get along now, so it's fine. Imagine the amount of rope he fucking

1938
02:20:18.079 --> 02:20:22.799
shoots on her, I mean,
and inside hers. It's not hyperbole,

1939
02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:30.079
it's it's not speculation. It goes
down whenever. Yeah, right, that's

1940
02:20:30.159 --> 02:20:37.040
right. And she's she's ready,
Oh yeah, absolutely, she needs it

1941
02:20:37.120 --> 02:20:43.360
too. Let's not forget that she
needs it. He's tell me, can

1942
02:20:43.360 --> 02:20:46.440
you tell we grew up fans of
Stern. It's like, oh, it's

1943
02:20:46.440 --> 02:20:50.440
all it's all his fault. Let
me get this way about the that's right

1944
02:20:50.719 --> 02:20:56.200
when significant others come up because she
because she just sits there and she waits.

1945
02:20:56.600 --> 02:21:03.920
You know, you imagine just the
amount of m so funny. All

1946
02:21:03.000 --> 02:21:09.440
right, it's loud, you know, like neighbors can hear it. Yeah,

1947
02:21:09.440 --> 02:21:11.760
I mean it sounds like they're fighting. Yeah, right right, they

1948
02:21:13.319 --> 02:21:16.440
people they've had the exactly neighbors have
called the police because they think that there's

1949
02:21:16.440 --> 02:21:24.200
some kind of right and what is
it? No, it's fucking you because

1950
02:21:24.559 --> 02:21:26.600
and here's the thing, Cody fucking
answers like that. You know that the

1951
02:21:28.200 --> 02:21:31.920
police come to the door and Cody
opens the door. He's just finished.

1952
02:21:31.079 --> 02:21:37.440
He's completely naked, all right,
fucking dick hanging in the wind. What

1953
02:21:37.479 --> 02:21:39.799
do you want? Yeah? Right, what do you want? What's going

1954
02:21:39.879 --> 02:21:43.959
on? Uh? Sir, you're
naked? What of it? I've been

1955
02:21:45.040 --> 02:21:50.000
fucking you see my house. I
could be naked in my house and I've

1956
02:21:50.040 --> 02:21:54.920
been fucking my wife. What do
you want? It's a lot of information.

1957
02:21:56.600 --> 02:22:00.479
Sorry, well we heard there might
be a domestic disturbance. Yeah,

1958
02:22:00.760 --> 02:22:03.200
yeah, you're disturbing me from fucking
my wife right now, there is exactly

1959
02:22:03.559 --> 02:22:09.280
right now, there's a domestic disturbance. You're domestically disturbing me. I would

1960
02:22:09.319 --> 02:22:13.760
like to go back to fucking my
wife. She's wet for me right now,

1961
02:22:13.000 --> 02:22:22.000
right, I need to go back
so I can style. By the

1962
02:22:22.040 --> 02:22:30.840
way, Jess, I can't eat
chocolate anymore. Sorry, I didn't give

1963
02:22:30.879 --> 02:22:37.120
me to tease. He sounds in
that if you isolate that clip, he

1964
02:22:37.360 --> 02:22:39.840
sounds so disappointing. That's so different, I know, just in isolated.

1965
02:22:39.920 --> 02:22:52.120
I can't eat chocolate anymore. I
can't eat chocolate anymore. Unbelievable. I

1966
02:22:52.319 --> 02:22:56.479
can't eat chocolate anymore. But it
was kind of brilliant because what happened is

1967
02:22:56.600 --> 02:23:01.399
Brandy drew Wardlow in to facing off
with Double A, and Cody knows that's

1968
02:23:01.440 --> 02:23:05.239
happening. There set of motion,
that the plan in motion, and then

1969
02:23:05.319 --> 02:23:07.520
Cody hits the suicide dive, taking
out Wardlow, and that kind of addresses

1970
02:23:07.559 --> 02:23:11.319
the Wardlow threat for a minute.
I did like Brandy a lot in that

1971
02:23:11.520 --> 02:23:16.799
role of like remember it that the
All This match where she, yeah,

1972
02:23:16.840 --> 02:23:20.559
she took the there was a top
rope plant her to the floor from Cody

1973
02:23:20.600 --> 02:23:24.719
and the accidentally banged into her and
she acted like she was knocked out.

1974
02:23:24.639 --> 02:23:26.879
I like that where she kind of
plays a role in a match. It's

1975
02:23:26.879 --> 02:23:31.399
like a damsel in distress almost,
or somebody that's like helping Cody run plays

1976
02:23:31.479 --> 02:23:33.959
to distract the apparent. If she
can if manipulating, it's fine. Every

1977
02:23:35.000 --> 02:23:39.200
now and again. Her out there
manipulating is totally fine. Yeah, But

1978
02:23:39.280 --> 02:23:43.799
her coming to the ring and like
with microphone time and having her own initiatives

1979
02:23:43.959 --> 02:23:46.399
like the ew heels thing, it
was like, stop trying to be an

1980
02:23:46.520 --> 02:23:48.920
entrepreneur. We don't have to sit
here and take this. The thing is

1981
02:23:50.000 --> 02:23:52.760
like all that stuff. Yet it's
just not It doesn't work in the wrestling,

1982
02:23:52.719 --> 02:23:56.799
you know, unless it's part of
the story hopes and dreams about how

1983
02:23:56.840 --> 02:23:58.639
she could be perceived, but wrestling
is not the vector for it. It's

1984
02:23:58.680 --> 02:24:03.879
not. It's sad to I think
wrestling is your ticket to being perceived as

1985
02:24:03.920 --> 02:24:05.360
like a girl boss or whatever the
fucking thing. I mean. It's the

1986
02:24:05.399 --> 02:24:11.159
same thing with Austin and Deborah.
I don't like it's it's not okay to

1987
02:24:11.319 --> 02:24:18.360
think about wrestlers having relationships unless it's
done in a very specific way for a

1988
02:24:18.360 --> 02:24:20.440
story lane, and generally it has
to be a heel thing exactly. It

1989
02:24:20.559 --> 02:24:24.559
can't be done. You're not going
to be like when Seth hooked up.

1990
02:24:24.920 --> 02:24:26.719
When Seth linked up with Becky on
screen, death for both of them.

1991
02:24:26.879 --> 02:24:31.719
Death death, Yep, yep.
Nobody wants to see that ship from a

1992
02:24:31.760 --> 02:24:39.000
baby face nobody. Okay, So
that's that all right. So the tope

1993
02:24:39.159 --> 02:24:41.159
hits back in. MJF breaks the
arm of Cody onto the top rope,

1994
02:24:41.159 --> 02:24:43.959
and Wardlow pulls him into the post
to get that psychology going into the ring.

1995
02:24:45.000 --> 02:24:50.440
The referees distracted jars. There's a
large man mugging Cody. There's a

1996
02:24:50.559 --> 02:24:54.639
large man mugging Cody. Would have
said that a little louder Jim if you

1997
02:24:54.680 --> 02:24:58.719
wanted him to hear you. It
sounds fucking hot, so weird. Cody

1998
02:24:58.760 --> 02:25:01.520
sent shoulder first from the post.
MGF and firm control. Now the Double

1999
02:25:01.600 --> 02:25:05.799
Cross as his finisher was the name
of it. It was like a fujiar

2000
02:25:05.920 --> 02:25:11.120
arm bar basically now the Double Cross, sorry, was his version of the

2001
02:25:11.159 --> 02:25:13.399
Crossroads. That's what he called at
the Double Cross. But he also had

2002
02:25:13.440 --> 02:25:16.959
the foojuar arm bar finishers. Oh
yes, yes. So MGF hooks the

2003
02:25:18.040 --> 02:25:20.479
key lock, lifts and dumps Cody
on his head and stacks him up for

2004
02:25:20.600 --> 02:25:22.760
two. They plugged the March eleventh
dynamite in Salt Lake City. That was

2005
02:25:22.799 --> 02:25:28.520
the last one for the pandemic.
MJF stands on the on one arm and

2006
02:25:28.840 --> 02:25:31.680
one hand of Cody and stomps struts
and hooks a top wrist lock. Tony

2007
02:25:31.719 --> 02:25:35.079
says, MGF is fundamentally sound in
the ring. He's gonna give him his

2008
02:25:35.120 --> 02:25:39.639
credit. Let's go Cody, MJF. Chance alternate is Cody backs him into

2009
02:25:39.680 --> 02:25:41.600
the corner to break the hold,
tries a whip out of the corner with

2010
02:25:41.760 --> 02:25:45.280
cells that the arm is just too
bad. At that point, MGF stumps

2011
02:25:45.280 --> 02:25:46.639
the arm and locks and the foojuar
arm bar. He then figure fours the

2012
02:25:46.760 --> 02:25:50.239
arm a bit and then when he
tries to reach the rope, does Cody

2013
02:25:50.319 --> 02:25:52.959
with his leg. MJF snatches that
leg up two yes, he does.

2014
02:25:54.319 --> 02:25:56.360
Good. Cody has to use his
teeth to bite the bottom rope to break

2015
02:25:56.399 --> 02:26:00.879
the hold. That's pretty awesome,
good stuff now visual. M JF then

2016
02:26:00.879 --> 02:26:03.280
starts taking off his boot. Cody's
boot, of course, time stand still

2017
02:26:03.280 --> 02:26:07.120
as he unlaces it, but that's
to expose the crushed toe. Jr.

2018
02:26:07.159 --> 02:26:11.159
Says he would not make a good
shoe thief, so Jim can't leave well

2019
02:26:11.280 --> 02:26:15.520
enough alone, and while he's doing
it, you can tell it's taking so

2020
02:26:15.639 --> 02:26:18.680
long that Cody verbally calls for an
eye rake and MJF rakes his eyes and

2021
02:26:18.760 --> 02:26:22.360
then m JFF doesn't just expose the
toe, he bites it. Yeah,

2022
02:26:22.479 --> 02:26:26.600
start changing yash. She jumps on
the apron and protest on that one,

2023
02:26:28.200 --> 02:26:35.360
and Excalibur takes a moment to wonder
what Brandy's been going through with Cody during

2024
02:26:35.440 --> 02:26:41.600
these months. Brandy Cody's wife,
cheering him on, urging him on to

2025
02:26:41.639 --> 02:26:46.319
imagine what she's had to put up
with living with Cody so focused on MJFF

2026
02:26:46.360 --> 02:26:52.520
for all these months. Yeah,
and tattoos, Jo Cody, I think

2027
02:26:52.559 --> 02:27:00.680
that neck tattoo is a surprise.
A fuck fucking JR. Can't you just

2028
02:27:00.799 --> 02:27:03.920
can't not say it? You know, you see that damn thing They are

2029
02:27:05.000 --> 02:27:11.479
off the leash. Tattoos. Tattoos, m h, I don't know about

2030
02:27:11.559 --> 02:27:18.959
tattoos. You ever have one?
No, jim any other questions. I

2031
02:27:18.040 --> 02:27:22.440
never took the time to get one. I never took the time to get

2032
02:27:22.479 --> 02:27:26.879
one. Sometimes I just like to
roll around on the yard. I never

2033
02:27:26.959 --> 02:27:30.680
took the time to get a tattoo. Sometimes I just like to roll around

2034
02:27:30.719 --> 02:27:35.200
in the yard. Now, are
those thoughts related. I don't think it's

2035
02:27:35.239 --> 02:27:39.959
going to do with tattoos, but
maybe I'm wrong. I like to roll

2036
02:27:39.000 --> 02:27:41.840
around in the yard too. I
don't know what that has to do with

2037
02:27:41.959 --> 02:27:46.280
my tattoo question. Do you ever
take a shovel into a tree? Sometimes?

2038
02:27:46.319 --> 02:27:50.760
I do that. ONMJF, Cody
drops down, drops MJFS face in

2039
02:27:50.799 --> 02:27:54.200
the corner. He purchased some of
the top and he climbs up and then

2040
02:27:54.440 --> 02:27:58.079
let's see, Cody kind of over
rotates MJF on reverse superplex, so MJF

2041
02:27:58.120 --> 02:28:01.360
instead of ending on his face,
he's kind of lands at his feet and

2042
02:28:01.399 --> 02:28:03.719
then has to leap up and sell
like he hit his head on the canvas,

2043
02:28:03.760 --> 02:28:07.600
which he didn't. Jared calls out
that Kevin von eric Us to wrestle

2044
02:28:07.600 --> 02:28:09.799
barefooted, so it's not a big
deal for Cody to have a boot off.

2045
02:28:09.840 --> 02:28:11.440
As he hits a springboard drop kick
off, the apron goes MJF.

2046
02:28:11.920 --> 02:28:16.159
Arn Anderson fishes out a chair as
wardload Mad dogs Cody from the floor.

2047
02:28:16.520 --> 02:28:18.159
Jared says, he's as left handed
as he could be, is arn Anderson,

2048
02:28:18.200 --> 02:28:22.680
which I'm quite sure what that means. Fifteen minutes have elapsed. MJF

2049
02:28:22.760 --> 02:28:24.639
comes up all bloody. I'm not
sure what shot he took to bust himself

2050
02:28:24.680 --> 02:28:33.319
open, but he gets some so
he goes it's it's he gets booted to

2051
02:28:33.360 --> 02:28:39.600
the floor and it looks like he
kind of hits something. Maybe he hits

2052
02:28:39.639 --> 02:28:43.520
the stairs or something like that.
I remember I saw where it seemed like

2053
02:28:43.600 --> 02:28:48.440
it might have happened. So something
happened. When he goes over the top

2054
02:28:48.280 --> 02:28:52.120
to the floor from from Cody's boot, he rolls back in and then comes

2055
02:28:52.120 --> 02:28:54.840
in loads with his white tape on
the cut so that you know, yeah,

2056
02:28:54.959 --> 02:29:00.920
I mean fucking you know. Mjf's
like car up like a fucking prime

2057
02:29:01.000 --> 02:29:03.799
rib to holiday party. MGF charges
into a power slam from Cody that gets

2058
02:29:03.840 --> 02:29:07.000
to to the apron. Cody is
draped and Jeff breaks free and stomps his

2059
02:29:07.360 --> 02:29:11.280
uh stomps the foot of Cody goes
to the apron and then jumps and hits

2060
02:29:11.319 --> 02:29:16.319
the the heat seeker, which is
the Kyle driver with a guy draping the

2061
02:29:16.399 --> 02:29:20.840
ropes. Would you like to hear
some inside by JR? As as as

2062
02:29:22.440 --> 02:29:26.680
he's always interested in Well here let
him speak for himself. It's always interesting

2063
02:29:26.799 --> 02:29:33.479
to see athlete responds to tasting their
own blood, feeling it, seeing it,

2064
02:29:33.600 --> 02:29:37.040
the warmth running down your face,
the taste, I get it,

2065
02:29:37.120 --> 02:29:46.479
I get it to Okay, this
is this point. He's just like he's

2066
02:29:46.520 --> 02:29:48.399
like an old man in the corner, just saying things. You know what

2067
02:29:48.440 --> 02:29:50.840
I mean. Yes, yeah,
he's like Grandpa Simpson. Yes, exactly

2068
02:29:50.920 --> 02:29:54.159
how I feel about him. Sometimes
he doesn't even he doesn't call matches anymore.

2069
02:29:54.159 --> 02:29:58.639
He just makes like observations, and
they're always oh, you know,

2070
02:29:58.159 --> 02:30:03.280
Donny, I'm always there and knowing
how our wrestler reacts to blood just hit

2071
02:30:03.399 --> 02:30:07.040
him torn in his mouth from somebody
else. You ever have let me tell

2072
02:30:07.040 --> 02:30:11.159
you, have you ever been ever? You ever been at a cattle farm

2073
02:30:11.239 --> 02:30:16.360
and just started drinking the blood or
the cattle I have, Well, I'll

2074
02:30:16.360 --> 02:30:18.079
tell you I used to do that. I still do that sometimes. And

2075
02:30:18.200 --> 02:30:20.840
what I like to do with it
is sometimes I take the blood and I

2076
02:30:22.000 --> 02:30:24.239
bathe myself in it, and I
always wonder what it feels like when someone

2077
02:30:24.280 --> 02:30:28.440
else bathes with me inside the cattle
Wonder what it feels like when someone bathes

2078
02:30:28.520 --> 02:30:39.120
with me. That's what he said, Tony, You're a bathe with another

2079
02:30:39.200 --> 02:30:43.799
man on purpose. Oh, Jr. I'm willing that if by mistake.

2080
02:30:43.879 --> 02:30:54.200
Unfortunately you all you're a bathe with
a with an animal. Oh oh,

2081
02:30:54.239 --> 02:31:00.920
you're missing out. I had to
bathe with at least animals at a time,

2082
02:31:01.840 --> 02:31:07.239
sometimes in bloody sometimes they're full of
feathers. You know, I might

2083
02:31:07.319 --> 02:31:16.600
take that back. I did share
a locker room shower with Joe Lori and

2084
02:31:16.680 --> 02:31:24.399
idis once does that. Oh and
George Steele. So after the heat Seeker,

2085
02:31:26.120 --> 02:31:26.680
he puts his feet in the ropes. He said, you have to

2086
02:31:26.719 --> 02:31:30.319
get the cheap count and Wardlow just
holds his feet down, but it's in

2087
02:31:30.399 --> 02:31:33.000
plain view of the reff so he
just says, no, he can't do

2088
02:31:33.079 --> 02:31:39.040
that. The crowd laughs. Actually
a good plan, Uh, I like

2089
02:31:39.200 --> 02:31:41.959
that. At this point, Brandy
tries to plaunch it to Wardlow. She

2090
02:31:41.000 --> 02:31:43.479
gets caught and put up on the
shoulders and Cody said, and put her

2091
02:31:43.520 --> 02:31:46.920
down. Put her down. He
goes for the pump kick, but he

2092
02:31:48.120 --> 02:31:50.360
Wardlow gets out of the way and
Cody accidentally kicks down Arn Anderson. It's

2093
02:31:50.360 --> 02:31:54.159
like a big moment. Tony Schivanni
talks about how there was the neck injury,

2094
02:31:54.200 --> 02:31:56.520
the nitor Anderson's career and he's sitting
there, laying there supine, and

2095
02:31:58.000 --> 02:32:00.680
it's a touch and go moment.
Cody gets in there looking down at Double

2096
02:32:00.719 --> 02:32:03.440
A and distracted. This allows MG
have to hit a low blow and school

2097
02:32:03.440 --> 02:32:05.840
boy him for two that he tries
to suplex, but no, oh my

2098
02:32:05.920 --> 02:32:11.319
god, perfection where you get suplexed
out and yes it's suplexed out of the

2099
02:32:11.440 --> 02:32:15.079
ring, but you both tumble out
it's still entangled. This is yep,

2100
02:32:15.319 --> 02:32:16.239
it was perfect. I mean I
know. In fact, I think it

2101
02:32:16.360 --> 02:32:20.520
was so perfect that they hit the
ground a lot harder they intended to.

2102
02:32:20.040 --> 02:32:22.440
It's very hard to do that move
safely. I think this is exhibit A.

2103
02:32:22.600 --> 02:32:26.639
Oh god, can you imagine like
that is not at all. That's

2104
02:32:26.920 --> 02:32:31.520
gonna be the most unsafe thing.
There's no control, You're you're holding on

2105
02:32:31.639 --> 02:32:35.200
to somebody you know, and you're
just allowing your both yourselves to topple over

2106
02:32:35.319 --> 02:32:41.399
there a flat back the floor.
Ye, Double A stirring a bit,

2107
02:32:41.440 --> 02:32:43.959
and he's with the trainer, refreaches
the count of nine is both slide and

2108
02:32:43.040 --> 02:32:46.000
now they're both facing off in all
wabbly right hands are exchanged to the boo

2109
02:32:46.079 --> 02:32:50.159
hey exchange, and then Cody with
a jab and left hooks and loads on

2110
02:32:50.239 --> 02:32:54.399
him the flip flop and fly and
a nod to Dusty, but MJF drops

2111
02:32:54.479 --> 02:32:56.600
him before he could hit him.
He drops to the canvas to get out

2112
02:32:56.600 --> 02:32:58.799
of the way. Back up,
Cody tries the cross Roads, but MJF

2113
02:32:58.879 --> 02:33:01.719
for versus to the double cross,
hitting his own version of Cody finishers that

2114
02:33:01.799 --> 02:33:05.760
only gets two, however, not
unlike Adam Page hitting the one wing an

2115
02:33:05.760 --> 02:33:09.040
Angel earlier in the Guy Kicking Out
Yeah totally. MJF then takes off Cody's

2116
02:33:09.040 --> 02:33:11.680
white belt. Paul Turner yanks hit
away from him. MJF Cox's fist like

2117
02:33:11.680 --> 02:33:13.719
he's going to hit the referee,
and then Cody turns him around with a

2118
02:33:13.760 --> 02:33:18.159
low blow. It looked like a
clean midsection kick though, and then he

2119
02:33:18.239 --> 02:33:22.399
hits the Shane Helms, the Shane
Helms finisher, the cop killer finisher that

2120
02:33:22.440 --> 02:33:26.840
Homicide used to do, hanging him
upside down on your back and then you

2121
02:33:26.959 --> 02:33:30.239
drop him on his head. That
gets to Cody starts whipping him. Jr.

2122
02:33:30.280 --> 02:33:35.079
Says two woodsheads are never going to
be the same and excuse me something

2123
02:33:35.200 --> 02:33:39.120
like that, and the referee is
trying to stop Cody from whipping MJF because

2124
02:33:39.120 --> 02:33:43.040
that's his job. It's a great
spot, though. Cody just goes,

2125
02:33:43.079 --> 02:33:46.079
can I do one more? Please? Can I get one more in this

2126
02:33:46.200 --> 02:33:48.479
prick? And the rev goes,
all right, he turns his back and

2127
02:33:48.520 --> 02:33:54.159
let's whip him. It's great.
MGF hugs the foot of Cody is crying

2128
02:33:54.200 --> 02:33:56.559
at his feet. Jared says,
I didn't mean to be a richard,

2129
02:33:56.639 --> 02:34:01.239
in other words, a dick saying
he's uh coursing. MJF is saying that,

2130
02:34:01.479 --> 02:34:03.959
and he's got crocodile crocodile tears coming. And MGF gets to his feet

2131
02:34:03.959 --> 02:34:09.200
and hugs Cody and it's pathetic and
the crowd isn't buying it. And then

2132
02:34:09.360 --> 02:34:13.680
MGF just spits at him and then
lunges and Cody catches him. It hits

2133
02:34:13.719 --> 02:34:18.719
a crossroads, and then another and
then another, but no. MJF lifts

2134
02:34:18.760 --> 02:34:22.159
his knee up to break free from
the position, a right hand drops him,

2135
02:34:22.280 --> 02:34:24.719
and all of a sudden, Cody
lands so hard, and you realize

2136
02:34:24.000 --> 02:34:31.479
that MJF fished the dynamite diamond ring
out of his chap before it. He

2137
02:34:31.639 --> 02:34:33.879
drapes one arm over Cody and it's
one, it's two, and it's three,

2138
02:34:33.959 --> 02:34:37.959
and the crowd can't believe what they
saw because it looks like Cody just

2139
02:34:37.079 --> 02:34:41.479
lost to a punch until they hit
the replay. Twenty four minutes forty seconds.

2140
02:34:41.639 --> 02:34:46.000
MJF pins Cody at aw Revolution.
This is before he got the permission

2141
02:34:46.000 --> 02:34:52.399
to use Cody Roads in a w
and this is it. This launches MJF

2142
02:34:52.520 --> 02:34:56.719
in so many ways right here.
Yeah, totally, it was great,

2143
02:34:56.760 --> 02:35:00.440
what a great The finish was fantastic. They cut to the abru les guy.

2144
02:35:00.479 --> 02:35:01.840
He can't believe it, the guy
who goes nuts a bruck Lesner matches,

2145
02:35:03.360 --> 02:35:07.360
they have fan reaction shots MG have
tremendously with the loope cell and his

2146
02:35:07.520 --> 02:35:11.239
arms raised in victory and double A
scoops up Cody, some Cody chances,

2147
02:35:11.280 --> 02:35:13.239
he limps out of the ring and
jaredsis. The fans still love him,

2148
02:35:13.239 --> 02:35:15.319
They love his courage, they love
his grit and I'll not for long.

2149
02:35:16.600 --> 02:35:18.440
They show some clips to build up
the next match with Pock and Orange Cassidy

2150
02:35:18.559 --> 02:35:22.079
with Orange doing his classic shin kicks
and the DDT and they talk about how

2151
02:35:22.120 --> 02:35:26.280
you think he's a joke, Well, the joke's on you. He might

2152
02:35:26.399 --> 02:35:28.440
try, he might not, but
he's got talent and this is the first

2153
02:35:28.479 --> 02:35:33.319
time and it's really fitting coming off
his main event of the pay per view

2154
02:35:33.959 --> 02:35:37.159
last week, that Orange Cassidy has
a singles match in a w He'd had

2155
02:35:37.200 --> 02:35:41.079
some tags and stuff, and he'd
done run ins. But my god,

2156
02:35:41.120 --> 02:35:45.200
did this guy find a way to
make this thing work where he's like barely

2157
02:35:45.440 --> 02:35:48.639
trying to hit anybody. And I
think it's hilarious. He's so amazing.

2158
02:35:48.879 --> 02:35:54.600
The guy is the beauty of it
is And you know, again, it

2159
02:35:54.760 --> 02:35:58.719
kind of goes against what people may
normally think that I would like. But

2160
02:35:58.879 --> 02:36:05.200
what I'll tell you one thing,
one thing is so important, and you

2161
02:36:05.319 --> 02:36:16.760
can get away with a goofy gimmick
if you commit, if you truly I

2162
02:36:16.840 --> 02:36:24.760
think this is something that's not spoken
about wrestling gimmicks and characters, But if

2163
02:36:24.879 --> 02:36:30.920
you really believe the gimmick, if
you really commit to it, that goes

2164
02:36:31.280 --> 02:36:37.159
a long way. The same I
can say the same thing about Bray Wyatt.

2165
02:36:37.760 --> 02:36:45.000
I can think of a million reasons
why I would and should have hated

2166
02:36:45.840 --> 02:36:52.959
the Fiend character, a fucking horror
mask character, but it worked and I

2167
02:36:52.200 --> 02:36:58.719
liked it. And the same thing
here, there are a million reasons why

2168
02:36:58.799 --> 02:37:03.040
I should say the orange cassidy,
you know, millennial, you know in

2169
02:37:03.200 --> 02:37:11.000
different gimmick should not work, but
it does because he fucking puts one hundred

2170
02:37:11.000 --> 02:37:16.159
and ten percent of himself in it
and behind it, and then you know,

2171
02:37:16.520 --> 02:37:22.159
wows everybody with his amazing ability.
Yeah, yeah, it's truly.

2172
02:37:22.440 --> 02:37:28.120
It's truly the case. And he's
smart enough to think about the moves that

2173
02:37:28.280 --> 02:37:33.799
would actually work while doing the gimmick, like the way he does the seat

2174
02:37:33.799 --> 02:37:35.719
to drop kick with his hands in
his pants, the way he does a

2175
02:37:35.760 --> 02:37:39.360
suicide dive. It's like he can
keep that whole thing up and it's psychological

2176
02:37:39.440 --> 02:37:43.840
tactic and it works. You can
see a guy trying to actually do this

2177
02:37:45.000 --> 02:37:48.000
to throw an opponent off, but
he has real firepower and he knows how

2178
02:37:48.040 --> 02:37:52.159
to deploy it. In the early
days, he didn't really do it as

2179
02:37:52.280 --> 02:37:56.079
much because he didn't have He's one
of the things that's been brilliant about him

2180
02:37:56.319 --> 02:38:00.559
is he slowly rolled out the intensity. Is the months past each match,

2181
02:38:00.600 --> 02:38:03.120
you'd see a little bit more like
whoa, when this guy explodes. He

2182
02:38:03.239 --> 02:38:07.360
actually can do great stuff in the
ring, but he showed so little up

2183
02:38:07.360 --> 02:38:11.719
it early that you almost felt like
this gimmick is never gonna work because he's

2184
02:38:11.719 --> 02:38:13.520
just gonna stand there and kick the
shins and do like the two or three

2185
02:38:13.600 --> 02:38:16.520
moves he can do with his hands
in his pocket, and that's going to

2186
02:38:16.559 --> 02:38:18.040
be the end of it. But
it's like, no, the whole gimmick

2187
02:38:18.120 --> 02:38:24.399
is going to be. This guy
has a tremendous fighting spirit, but he's

2188
02:38:24.719 --> 02:38:30.200
very you gotta drag it out of
him. He doesn't show up looking to

2189
02:38:30.319 --> 02:38:33.879
kill somebody. Were like nothing more
and to find a way to win the

2190
02:38:33.920 --> 02:38:39.799
match with minimal effort. And and
it serves him well to put his opponents

2191
02:38:39.840 --> 02:38:41.639
in that frame of mind because then
they drop their guard and he just knows.

2192
02:38:43.239 --> 02:38:45.879
I mean, a lesser talent would
not be able to pull this off

2193
02:38:45.959 --> 02:38:48.239
because when it came time to flip
the switch, they wouldn't be able to

2194
02:38:48.399 --> 02:38:52.719
throw convincing offense at the guy.
It would be too much, it would

2195
02:38:52.719 --> 02:38:54.719
be too much of a leap to
see the guy go from lazy do nothing,

2196
02:38:56.319 --> 02:39:01.840
you know, a sloth in there, to someone who's flying off the

2197
02:39:01.879 --> 02:39:05.040
top rope and doing triple lutz and
shit. Yea, but he can do

2198
02:39:05.159 --> 02:39:07.239
it. He can do it in
a way where you're convinced that he's kind

2199
02:39:07.239 --> 02:39:11.159
of hiding and masking this explosive nature
that he has, and now the class

2200
02:39:11.239 --> 02:39:15.719
so in love with him that he
can just wrestle pretty much like everybody else

2201
02:39:15.799 --> 02:39:20.000
on the roster and just kind of
sprinkle in these lazy spots as callbacks to

2202
02:39:20.079 --> 02:39:22.600
that initial charm and intrigue that he
brought the table. And it's funny,

2203
02:39:22.680 --> 02:39:30.760
it's really it's really great. And
then I think it's I think it's really

2204
02:39:30.959 --> 02:39:35.600
incredible to see him, you know, kind of move around when he's got

2205
02:39:35.639 --> 02:39:39.399
his hands in his pockets. It's
really fucking fussy funny. And in the

2206
02:39:39.479 --> 02:39:43.520
early days, people were very bearish
on him working on national television. They

2207
02:39:43.559 --> 02:39:50.079
thought of it as a gimmick that
only like irony seeking small indie wrestling diehards

2208
02:39:50.159 --> 02:39:52.200
could appreciate, you know, something
that was almost in the category of like

2209
02:39:52.319 --> 02:39:56.399
Joey Ryan, how he do with
those gimmicks based around his dick, swing

2210
02:39:56.520 --> 02:40:00.319
people around and buy his dick and
make comments and jokes and move with his

2211
02:40:00.440 --> 02:40:01.760
dick. And I was like,
oh, God, like you know it,

2212
02:40:03.000 --> 02:40:05.840
there's novelty to it. It's funny
and when you see in a small

2213
02:40:05.879 --> 02:40:07.280
setting. Of course, he turned
out to be a pervert blah blah blah.

2214
02:40:07.879 --> 02:40:11.319
But but Orange was put in that
same category early as a guy that

2215
02:40:11.399 --> 02:40:16.120
was really just like something that could
make four hundred people at a wreck hall

2216
02:40:16.280 --> 02:40:18.559
crack up, you know, and
in a knowing ironic way. Now the

2217
02:40:18.639 --> 02:40:22.920
guy had he already. He cut
his teeth. Was where we did the

2218
02:40:22.959 --> 02:40:26.520
Renaissance rumble, right, Remember his
picture was there, His picture was there.

2219
02:40:26.639 --> 02:40:30.559
Quackenbush was pointing out all the alumni
and he was one of them,

2220
02:40:31.200 --> 02:40:35.559
and uh, just just a wonderful
performer. To see him blossom the way

2221
02:40:35.559 --> 02:40:39.319
he did. He took that aw
International title and basically made it their intercontinental

2222
02:40:39.360 --> 02:40:43.520
title ninety one, Like it's that
value box strap and uh, and he

2223
02:40:43.680 --> 02:40:48.159
just took on contenders in a way
where you know, you're like one commercial

2224
02:40:48.200 --> 02:40:50.200
break in his Dynamite title defense,
You're like, God, damn it,

2225
02:40:50.239 --> 02:40:54.479
he's doing it again. He's he's
having such an exciting match against just the

2226
02:40:54.559 --> 02:40:58.120
opponent Djure, somebody that doesn't even
have a lot of story behind the matchup,

2227
02:40:58.879 --> 02:41:01.479
and that match with Moxley just a
great way. He's like he hit

2228
02:41:01.559 --> 02:41:03.680
his ceiling. You know, he
really faced a big dog and he he

2229
02:41:03.799 --> 02:41:07.959
fought his heart out and he bled
like crazy, but in the end he

2230
02:41:07.079 --> 02:41:09.840
came up short. And it's perfect
because now he gets to build back up

2231
02:41:09.920 --> 02:41:13.479
and you know, kind of after
having such a long undefeated streak and an

2232
02:41:13.520 --> 02:41:18.159
unlikely record reign with that championship,
he can now find it, find a

2233
02:41:18.200 --> 02:41:20.319
new way, a new path,
and recover from that. Because you know,

2234
02:41:20.440 --> 02:41:22.959
he shows no emotion. So how's
he going to react when he loses

2235
02:41:24.000 --> 02:41:26.200
the biggest fight of his life?
Yeah? He The go home promo for

2236
02:41:26.239 --> 02:41:28.840
the match was I'm Orange Cassidy and
I don't have a catchphrase. That's what

2237
02:41:28.920 --> 02:41:33.680
he said. Yeah wow, So
from wherever, weighing whatever, that's what

2238
02:41:33.799 --> 02:41:37.120
they always how they always introduce him. But back then at Revolution twenty twenty,

2239
02:41:37.200 --> 02:41:41.600
was still very much like a head
scratching like it's not it's not as

2240
02:41:41.680 --> 02:41:46.600
funny as it is now. People
like what I get it. I mean,

2241
02:41:46.719 --> 02:41:50.879
I remember again, I remember I
forget when he wasn't at all in

2242
02:41:50.120 --> 02:41:52.639
right he was a double or nothing. I think he was. Yeah,

2243
02:41:52.680 --> 02:41:56.879
I'm kind of like a run in
capacity because I remember seeing him live and

2244
02:41:58.319 --> 02:42:01.520
I think he was in that Battle
Royal just doing the shin kick the Royal

2245
02:42:01.600 --> 02:42:05.000
Rumble match, and I thought it
was hilarious and that's it seemed like I've

2246
02:42:05.040 --> 02:42:07.440
just funny thing on the show,
you know, right to one of the

2247
02:42:07.479 --> 02:42:11.280
best workers they have. Yeah,
I did. I've always wondered. I

2248
02:42:11.559 --> 02:42:15.280
always wondered, like, how how's
this gonna go? Like, you know,

2249
02:42:15.360 --> 02:42:18.079
at some point he's got to evolve, because you can't do this forever

2250
02:42:18.399 --> 02:42:24.200
unless you want to kill yourself.
Amazing. Tony identifies with Orange Cassidy because

2251
02:42:24.200 --> 02:42:26.520
he doesn't seem to give a rat's
ass, and Tony said sometimes I don't

2252
02:42:26.559 --> 02:42:31.639
either. Jared goes off on Twitter
and says, don't you love the business

2253
02:42:31.719 --> 02:42:33.120
like I do? Making fun of
people who say that Jared doesn't love the

2254
02:42:33.120 --> 02:42:35.639
business anymore. I'm fourteen. They
get the basement to myself this week,

2255
02:42:35.760 --> 02:42:39.920
jr. Oh god, Jared says, he hey, rough little details.

2256
02:42:39.959 --> 02:42:43.920
Those things you're looking at Orange sunglasses, you can't wear them in the ring.

2257
02:42:43.079 --> 02:42:46.879
He's calling out, Yeah, oh
my god, bell sounds. They

2258
02:42:48.239 --> 02:42:50.600
chant holy shit because the thought of
him having a wrestling matches out of is

2259
02:42:50.639 --> 02:42:54.239
out of this world at this point. To that, I do love hearing

2260
02:42:56.079 --> 02:43:01.440
Justin Roberts announced him He's great at
its all, big a company to the

2261
02:43:01.559 --> 02:43:20.280
Ring by best Friends from Wherever,
Wait whatever, Freshly Squeeze, I'll take

2262
02:43:20.319 --> 02:43:22.040
it. And that's when he had
the best friend's music. He's another example

2263
02:43:22.120 --> 02:43:28.879
of how just transform it if it
can be to license an actual song for

2264
02:43:28.959 --> 02:43:35.879
a wrestler. They gave him Jane
by Jefferson Starship, and it is unbelievable

2265
02:43:35.239 --> 02:43:39.479
how perfect the song is for him. It's just like it's set such a

2266
02:43:39.559 --> 02:43:43.200
different tone than him being like this
sidekick to the best friend's tag team,

2267
02:43:43.200 --> 02:43:46.559
and it's kind of like sideshow giving
it just it puts in front and center

2268
02:43:46.680 --> 02:43:52.399
as tron is wonderful. It's like
hand drawings and like like the insert cool

2269
02:43:52.479 --> 02:43:56.319
move here or like all these goofy
like and she's just got it. Man,

2270
02:43:56.360 --> 02:43:58.680
he's just got everything down. He's
figured it all out. And here

2271
02:43:58.719 --> 02:44:03.159
again pack that just started to become
clear. He goes for the hands in

2272
02:44:03.159 --> 02:44:05.079
the pockets, but he gets cut
off and Orange dust kind of like a

2273
02:44:05.159 --> 02:44:09.680
snap arm drag and they pop huge
for this explosion offense from Orange, which

2274
02:44:09.680 --> 02:44:11.159
they weren't expecting. Then he puts
his hands in his pocket and that gets

2275
02:44:11.200 --> 02:44:15.799
it. This is awesome. Chin
Orange kicks the shin answers Jared laughs at

2276
02:44:15.840 --> 02:44:20.120
that exchange. Pack's doing his own
shin kicks an Orange casted, by the

2277
02:44:20.159 --> 02:44:26.079
way, the love child of Seth
Green and Sherman from America. That's a

2278
02:44:26.120 --> 02:44:30.440
good one, Seth Green for sheer
vibes. Absolutely yeah. Yeah. So

2279
02:44:30.520 --> 02:44:33.559
they're exchanging. The crowd is so
loud as they're tapping each other's shins,

2280
02:44:33.600 --> 02:44:37.079
and then Orange stepped back and taps
the shin even lighter, and then it

2281
02:44:37.120 --> 02:44:41.239
gets a shoved down the glasses fly
off King of Sloth style. He's called

2282
02:44:41.319 --> 02:44:46.360
fight Forever. They chant. Orange
now goes into the ropes and ducks with

2283
02:44:46.479 --> 02:44:50.079
his hands in his pockets and rolls
over and does a seeded drop kick with

2284
02:44:50.159 --> 02:44:52.680
his hands still in his pockets.
That gets the standing ovation, and Jared

2285
02:44:52.719 --> 02:44:56.440
says, yeah, forget about Dickton
brewser it's Orange Castity time. By God.

2286
02:44:58.000 --> 02:45:01.559
That tries a hiptoss range, counters
with an arm drag, and with

2287
02:45:01.680 --> 02:45:03.440
his hand still in his pocket,
does a forward roll with his legs crossed

2288
02:45:03.479 --> 02:45:07.000
and gets two Orange. Then,
with his hands in his pockets, hits

2289
02:45:07.040 --> 02:45:09.360
the ropes and Pack comes in cuts
him off with a tilt a world backbreaker.

2290
02:45:09.440 --> 02:45:11.879
Pack runs him into the fence on
the floor and then a post,

2291
02:45:11.920 --> 02:45:22.479
and Excalibur says those posts have disgusting
angles. Actually Jr says they are called

2292
02:45:22.680 --> 02:45:28.799
edges. EXCaliber. Brother, there's
a lot of a lot of that kind

2293
02:45:28.840 --> 02:45:33.120
of patronizing tone from Jr. Towards
Excalibur. Oh God, it's like it's

2294
02:45:33.159 --> 02:45:37.879
disguised. It's just friendly banter.
But he's not. Jared never passes up

2295
02:45:37.920 --> 02:45:39.159
a chance to say, it's all
right. It's not his name, it's

2296
02:45:39.200 --> 02:45:41.959
not how you say it, it's
not which's it's wrong, or it's all

2297
02:45:43.040 --> 02:45:45.399
you're being two of her bost But
it's fine. It's all good partner,

2298
02:45:46.239 --> 02:45:50.120
all right. Jim Jr. Says
if Pack had a middle seat on the

2299
02:45:50.159 --> 02:45:54.399
fly, you'd be pissed off.
He slams Orange and climbs does a seated

2300
02:45:54.440 --> 02:45:56.399
missile drop kick that turns Orange Cassidy
inside out. Then he does a kip

2301
02:45:56.479 --> 02:45:58.680
up and a scowl. Pack does
the spin kick, a superkick, a

2302
02:45:58.719 --> 02:46:05.000
power bomb with a sensational sit out
that gets too and ex Caliber said Pack

2303
02:46:05.040 --> 02:46:09.479
at a high stack on the liger
bomb, Brother Jr. Had a good

2304
02:46:09.559 --> 02:46:15.079
stack for breakfast. That's right,
No pulp they chance speaking of Desayuno.

2305
02:46:16.319 --> 02:46:20.159
Orange is perched. Pack those up
top about a brainbuster from the top rope

2306
02:46:20.200 --> 02:46:24.200
by Pack he gets when he gets
two gangs, Orange cassidy up when he

2307
02:46:24.200 --> 02:46:26.879
could have had the wind. Pack
goes up at the top. Orange rolls

2308
02:46:26.920 --> 02:46:28.239
out of the ring and he rolls
at a snail's pace? Is he not?

2309
02:46:30.319 --> 02:46:35.120
He? He's on top to attack, and Orange rolls and and and

2310
02:46:35.319 --> 02:46:39.600
the crowd it's so crowd chance,
Holy shit, him rolling out of the

2311
02:46:39.719 --> 02:46:46.680
ring for him rolling on the sails. Yes, it's so. It's spectacular.

2312
02:46:48.120 --> 02:46:50.959
Pack then climbs after positioning him again
and Orange rolls out. He does

2313
02:46:50.040 --> 02:46:54.440
it again. He can't come off
the top against this guy because he just

2314
02:46:54.520 --> 02:46:58.600
starts gradually rolling towards the ropes.
Yep, And he's on the floor like

2315
02:46:58.680 --> 02:47:03.559
he's sleeping. He's in hibernation,
like he's a sleeping teenager who won't get

2316
02:47:03.639 --> 02:47:07.159
up until eleven thirty in the morning. This is wrestling. They chan Pac

2317
02:47:07.200 --> 02:47:09.000
puts him back in the ring,
and he starts doing it again. So

2318
02:47:09.079 --> 02:47:11.719
Pack walks over to the other side
so that Orange can't roll out from this

2319
02:47:11.879 --> 02:47:18.079
side, and Orange sees him and
just starts rolling out the other side.

2320
02:47:18.159 --> 02:47:24.559
He ye, and then he keeps
up out of nowhere and nails Pack with

2321
02:47:24.639 --> 02:47:28.399
a tope nails him. He scrambles
to the top like a madman and leaps

2322
02:47:28.440 --> 02:47:31.879
into a cross body block on the
hop ducks a tilt a whirl into a

2323
02:47:31.879 --> 02:47:35.719
spike DDT on Pack that gets to
Pack, pops up and larries him to

2324
02:47:35.760 --> 02:47:37.559
the canvass. Orange comes up limply
and swats a pack. Pack rops him

2325
02:47:37.559 --> 02:47:41.559
with an elbow, hands in the
pockets. He ducks the Orange punch He

2326
02:47:41.680 --> 02:47:45.840
ducks, and the Orange punch linens
the Superman punch Orange with fire. Yeah

2327
02:47:46.559 --> 02:47:50.680
it's the ropes stun dog Millionaire.
That flipping stunn are he did whenever?

2328
02:47:50.639 --> 02:47:54.479
Yeah, he's freshly squeezed, needless
to say. Gets tripped up top and

2329
02:47:54.559 --> 02:47:58.879
crossed Pack hooks him up, but
Orange goes over the shoulder. He's thinking

2330
02:48:00.079 --> 02:48:03.920
hum stone up there, but Orange
rotates and DDT's pack off the top rope

2331
02:48:05.239 --> 02:48:07.000
and then climbs up and hits a
leaping DDT on the money. He's so

2332
02:48:07.159 --> 02:48:11.440
good at that leaping DDT. That's
a tough one to get right. And

2333
02:48:11.559 --> 02:48:13.600
Pack is the one rolling out of
the ring, this time to the ramp

2334
02:48:13.639 --> 02:48:18.079
they go. Trent Barretta comes in
and throws his buddy Orange Buddy throws Pack

2335
02:48:18.159 --> 02:48:20.600
back in the ring and the air
raid Crash Scores stacks him up one two

2336
02:48:20.639 --> 02:48:24.520
crowd wanted it to end there,
but it did not. Lucasaurus comes out,

2337
02:48:24.600 --> 02:48:26.600
Phoenix does the hook kick to a
Trent, so it's like gang warfare.

2338
02:48:26.680 --> 02:48:31.319
Pentagon gets involved and drops him,
and then Taylor Chuck. Taylor one

2339
02:48:31.399 --> 02:48:35.600
of Orange's friends and flip dives onto
the ramp and takes everybody out back in

2340
02:48:35.760 --> 02:48:37.680
Packed as the arm ringer and pulls
Cassidy down with the canvas and hooks the

2341
02:48:37.760 --> 02:48:43.840
brutalizer and Orange Cassidy concedes to the
submission of Pack immediately. Thirteen minutes,

2342
02:48:43.879 --> 02:48:48.440
Clean Pock defeats Orange Cassidy and is
one on one aw debut here at Revolution.

2343
02:48:48.520 --> 02:48:50.319
But Boss, I think I think
we've seen enough to be intrigued.

2344
02:48:52.280 --> 02:48:56.200
I'm totally I mean, listen,
I bought into it the whole time.

2345
02:48:56.600 --> 02:48:58.719
I still think I think he's great. Next, Scalibur says of Orange,

2346
02:48:58.719 --> 02:49:03.280
I think he tried, so that's
great. We get to Flood and guts

2347
02:49:03.319 --> 02:49:07.719
Ad Jr. Coughs and fucks it
all up and oh, disastrous stand up

2348
02:49:07.760 --> 02:49:11.360
moment with Tony Jr. And Excalibur
Jr. Does not know what where to

2349
02:49:11.440 --> 02:49:16.200
go. He just suddenly asks for
predictions without even saying what the matches he's

2350
02:49:16.200 --> 02:49:20.239
going with Moxley, and she flubs
the plug for the upcoming cities they're going

2351
02:49:20.280 --> 02:49:22.799
to is a disaster. I want
to predictions of what's gonna be eaten next

2352
02:49:22.879 --> 02:49:28.600
by my mouth do a package with
Jr. Saying Moxley has rattle snake rattle

2353
02:49:28.639 --> 02:49:31.479
snake like tendencies. They shot Jericho
doing his famous a little bit of the

2354
02:49:31.479 --> 02:49:35.000
Bubbly promo after winning the championship that
champion Era is in firm effect in a

2355
02:49:35.239 --> 02:49:39.719
w He had given mos a very
fancy four gt car to say yes and

2356
02:49:39.799 --> 02:49:43.520
join his inner circle, and they
did the angle where Moxley was going to

2357
02:49:43.639 --> 02:49:46.479
do it, saying on KBA W
dominate and I have to do that with

2358
02:49:46.520 --> 02:49:48.000
the inner circle. And then he
says, you're just kidding and smashes a

2359
02:49:48.079 --> 02:49:52.440
champagne bottle on Jericho's head, and
Jericho comes back later and drives a spike

2360
02:49:52.559 --> 02:49:56.000
into Moxley's eye, which causes him
to wear an eye patch for several weeks

2361
02:49:56.040 --> 02:50:00.600
on aw television, and Jericho calls
himself once again the in the world and

2362
02:50:00.639 --> 02:50:03.559
no one can touch me. Jared
starts from your pitch to the ring before

2363
02:50:03.559 --> 02:50:07.319
the package is even over, and
Justin Roberts says, this is your main

2364
02:50:07.399 --> 02:50:09.200
event of the evening. Moxley's music. He hits the ring. This is

2365
02:50:09.239 --> 02:50:13.079
before wild Thing, before they licensed
wild Thing for him, and he used

2366
02:50:13.079 --> 02:50:18.040
to come out custom a w theme. He walks in from the outside of

2367
02:50:18.079 --> 02:50:22.559
the building. They start outside the
wind Trust arena. Yeah, because I

2368
02:50:22.639 --> 02:50:24.319
guess it's that big long walk with
the hood and the eye patch through the

2369
02:50:24.399 --> 02:50:31.600
lobby and everything yelled song Hang hang, hang, hang, hanginginginginginginging, hang,

2370
02:50:31.760 --> 02:50:33.319
hang, hang hang, and Jared
says, Moxley came to a w

2371
02:50:33.520 --> 02:50:35.399
to live his best life, make
his dreams come true, and this is

2372
02:50:35.440 --> 02:50:39.840
the place for that to happen.
Wow, now we hear a soulful voice.

2373
02:50:39.920 --> 02:50:45.399
Oh here, just just listen to
this wonderful thing. You want you

2374
02:50:48.600 --> 02:51:11.680
side, you are since person r
I am all like to sender snow.

2375
02:51:13.440 --> 02:51:18.879
I am called down the soul made
a song and I will train down,

2376
02:51:20.040 --> 02:51:41.639
say the mold and so one by
God, now say all away and in

2377
02:51:41.799 --> 02:51:48.440
the same to choice in life?
Is it something less for me to say

2378
02:51:48.959 --> 02:51:54.959
in the record show, My Life, My Life, I'm becoming go go,

2379
02:51:54.840 --> 02:52:18.680
I'm becoming me, Come I go. I mean, you got you

2380
02:52:18.760 --> 02:52:22.760
gotta be like really weird if you
don't think that's pretty great honestly, Yeah,

2381
02:52:24.200 --> 02:52:26.920
like sorry, I mean and then
middle again you get you get the

2382
02:52:28.000 --> 02:52:31.079
song anyway, so like what the
fuck? Yeah, I remember it very

2383
02:52:31.120 --> 02:52:33.319
fondly. I remember when he did
I was it that hit? That hit

2384
02:52:33.399 --> 02:52:35.760
well, And maybe it's because the
other ones are earlier in the show were

2385
02:52:35.760 --> 02:52:39.200
so fucking bad that it just stood
out. Maybe it was. It was

2386
02:52:39.239 --> 02:52:41.079
good. It was a very inspired
idea. I thought she pulled it off

2387
02:52:41.079 --> 02:52:45.680
beautifully, even if you know,
she apparently isn't someone worth being a big

2388
02:52:45.719 --> 02:52:50.079
fan of. That's life. You
know, people do things that are inspiring

2389
02:52:50.120 --> 02:52:52.000
and they suck, and it's yeah, ninety percent of the time, it

2390
02:52:52.040 --> 02:52:56.479
seems to be that way. So
John Moxley's announces the Pride of Cincinnati.

2391
02:52:56.520 --> 02:53:01.319
He's undefeated in singles action uh zero, and Justin Roberts says he is zero.

2392
02:53:01.399 --> 02:53:07.920
Well, I'll have to paraphrase this
one. Zero f's given John Moxley

2393
02:53:09.520 --> 02:53:13.319
has has won next to his name
because they were still pretending that by the

2394
02:53:13.360 --> 02:53:16.000
time they got to the title match
that they could make the argument the guy

2395
02:53:16.120 --> 02:53:20.639
was the number one contender and Jericho
there with a big ass gash over his

2396
02:53:20.719 --> 02:53:24.159
eyebrow. They had had an angle
on Dynamite leading into the thing, and

2397
02:53:24.319 --> 02:53:28.399
Moxley had a big headbont on Jericho, leaving him bloodied and bruised, and

2398
02:53:28.920 --> 02:53:33.959
Jericho had undergo seven stitches to get
the wound closed up. So that was

2399
02:53:33.040 --> 02:53:39.360
on display here and Justin Roberts says
of Jericho, he changed the universe when

2400
02:53:39.399 --> 02:53:41.920
he signed with All Elite Wrestling.
Amidst a one hundred eighty two day reign,

2401
02:53:41.920 --> 02:53:45.840
It's Chris Jericho. Aubrey Edwards,
the referee gets a bit of a

2402
02:53:45.920 --> 02:53:48.959
pop as she hoists that big ass
strap high for our main event, a

2403
02:53:48.200 --> 02:53:52.959
W Revolution twenty twenty, Chris Jericho
defending the w World Championship against John Moxley.

2404
02:53:54.200 --> 02:53:56.479
They explode in the center of a
big pop, and Moxley's lean clothes

2405
02:53:56.559 --> 02:54:00.319
lines Jericho out over the rail.
Much leaner than he is today, Maxley

2406
02:54:00.360 --> 02:54:03.360
looks a lot different posts rehab.
Not bad, but he's just more like.

2407
02:54:05.000 --> 02:54:07.360
He's not spelt, he's not cut, he's he's just a little more

2408
02:54:07.440 --> 02:54:11.559
burly. You know, he let
the chest hair grow out and he's balding

2409
02:54:11.639 --> 02:54:16.959
up top. It's it's a different
look. Probably not allowing the alcohol to

2410
02:54:16.280 --> 02:54:22.520
be his main form of suspect.
I think that's that's definitely part of it.

2411
02:54:22.120 --> 02:54:24.879
Jericho greets him with water on the
eye at ringside and uses a stanchion

2412
02:54:24.920 --> 02:54:28.360
in the audience to hit him with. Mox has thrown it to some guy

2413
02:54:28.399 --> 02:54:31.959
who doesn't sell it at all and
who doesn't want a part of it at

2414
02:54:31.959 --> 02:54:35.559
all, and scurries away. Jericho
grabs a camera from a cameraman and tries

2415
02:54:35.600 --> 02:54:37.399
to do the middle finger where he
puts it up in front of the lens,

2416
02:54:37.479 --> 02:54:41.000
but they kind of failed to cut
at the right moment. Very bad

2417
02:54:41.120 --> 02:54:45.200
direction here. Jericho puts a fan
sign on his neck and throws the guard

2418
02:54:45.280 --> 02:54:48.360
rail at Moxley, puts fan around
a sign around his neck. It's like

2419
02:54:48.479 --> 02:54:52.520
cut out so as a hole in
the middle. Don't know why he's doing.

2420
02:54:52.559 --> 02:54:56.840
Sledge off the ramp from Moxley.
Jericho whe verses him into the post.

2421
02:54:56.399 --> 02:55:00.360
We're told Moxley's busted open, and
yeah, there it is. Has

2422
02:55:00.399 --> 02:55:03.920
color. A big surprise there,
we got color. His philosophy he said

2423
02:55:03.920 --> 02:55:05.840
an interview recently, is look,
if you watch boxing and MA fights,

2424
02:55:05.879 --> 02:55:11.000
there's blood just every other Fight's just
it's actually realistic to blade in every other

2425
02:55:11.079 --> 02:55:13.600
match. And I was like,
hmm, that's actually an interesting thought.

2426
02:55:13.360 --> 02:55:16.159
I mean, yes it is,
but it's also barbaric to cut yourself.

2427
02:55:16.360 --> 02:55:20.959
There's that. It's one thing to
do it if it just happens, but

2428
02:55:22.520 --> 02:55:28.559
MMA fighters and boxers they don't take
a razor blade and cut themselves in the

2429
02:55:28.600 --> 02:55:31.719
head. Ecology is really wacky because
it's like, I feel like nowadays,

2430
02:55:31.760 --> 02:55:35.760
when someone comes up bloody, the
crowd's response, while strong, is more

2431
02:55:35.840 --> 02:55:37.760
to the fact that this guy just
cut his head than it is what the

2432
02:55:37.799 --> 02:55:43.079
guy just did to him. Cause
the word right, right, that's that's

2433
02:55:43.159 --> 02:55:46.440
the thing is we all know you're
cutting your head. I feel, yeah,

2434
02:55:46.479 --> 02:55:52.399
blading should be saved for when the
guy needs to do something outlandously violent

2435
02:55:52.079 --> 02:55:56.600
because the usual suite of moves just
won't put him down for long enough,

2436
02:55:58.079 --> 02:56:00.639
or an angle where you got to
smash a chair and his head or something

2437
02:56:00.760 --> 02:56:03.920
just then do the blood. But
to do the blood just like in every

2438
02:56:03.959 --> 02:56:05.559
match, because you hit the floor
the wrong way, you can justify it

2439
02:56:05.600 --> 02:56:09.440
psychologically as to why you'd bleed.
I'm not saying that I don't think it's

2440
02:56:09.479 --> 02:56:13.120
unrealistic to have to bleed in matches, but I'm saying that there are things

2441
02:56:13.399 --> 02:56:18.760
you're gonna need blood for a lot, and to make it that ubiquitous takes

2442
02:56:18.799 --> 02:56:22.559
away the ability to make two or
three or four things a year. Really

2443
02:56:22.639 --> 02:56:28.760
pop. I mean think about you
know, think about Stark eighty five,

2444
02:56:30.000 --> 02:56:35.000
where every other match bloods are differentiator. Vince won't do blood, so we'll

2445
02:56:35.000 --> 02:56:39.959
overdo blood, and boy do they
ever. I feel like it meant my

2446
02:56:41.040 --> 02:56:43.920
I mean, they had to go
so far with Blanchard and Magnum because there

2447
02:56:43.959 --> 02:56:48.120
was so much blood in the company
already. Yeah, I mean think about

2448
02:56:48.159 --> 02:56:48.840
how late that was. In the
car, there was like a like a

2449
02:56:48.879 --> 02:56:54.440
twelve match show and that was like
number that was like segment ten, SEG

2450
02:56:54.520 --> 02:56:58.639
ten, right, something like that, seg ten. Yep, I'm sure

2451
02:56:58.719 --> 02:57:03.399
let's have referred to it. So
Max is busted and then Jericho power bombs

2452
02:57:03.440 --> 02:57:07.239
him at a nasty angle into a
ringside table that still had the bell on

2453
02:57:07.319 --> 02:57:09.280
it, almost powered on his head, right on the motherfucker, and he's

2454
02:57:09.319 --> 02:57:13.879
selling that the initial I wound reopened, and that's what they're sort of saying,

2455
02:57:13.200 --> 02:57:16.239
but that's under the patch of John
Moxley's you can't really see it.

2456
02:57:16.959 --> 02:57:20.120
Jericho slaps on him and sends come
on your piece of shit and then dings

2457
02:57:20.200 --> 02:57:24.239
the bell and that clears himself the
winner. On the microphone, he was

2458
02:57:24.840 --> 02:57:28.719
back then, man that like I'm
noxious, like I'm the highest and the

2459
02:57:28.840 --> 02:57:31.520
mightiest. Jericho hot shots Mocks under
the bottom rope. Back in the ring,

2460
02:57:31.559 --> 02:57:33.840
they chant stupid idiot, and he
flips them off because that's a w

2461
02:57:35.040 --> 02:57:39.239
w chant. Mox to the corner
on loads with with chops. Whip is

2462
02:57:39.280 --> 02:57:41.600
reversed and hits the buckling stern him
first Bret Hart style. Then there's a

2463
02:57:41.639 --> 02:57:46.319
reversed whip and mox goes into the
steps and a gored buster are and then

2464
02:57:46.360 --> 02:57:50.479
a drop kick off the top rope
gets too. They talk about how Chris

2465
02:57:50.719 --> 02:57:52.280
is going to go down as one
of the greatest of all time as he

2466
02:57:52.440 --> 02:57:56.000
purchased Mocks up top and climbs,
but mox blocks the attempted a superplex and

2467
02:57:56.079 --> 02:58:01.200
gored busts Chris Jericho from the top
to the canvas. Miss I missed something,

2468
02:58:01.280 --> 02:58:05.280
I miss something from the outside and
here this is uh here, here's

2469
02:58:05.319 --> 02:58:07.799
Tony talking at one point when they're
wandering, when they're kind of battling out

2470
02:58:07.799 --> 02:58:13.840
there the way. Kids, you
gotta see please take it. I mean

2471
02:58:13.959 --> 02:58:16.239
I was thinking, like, who
are you talking to on a commentary?

2472
02:58:16.399 --> 02:58:20.959
Yeah, I think he's calling kids, the fans. The fans who you're

2473
02:58:22.000 --> 02:58:24.159
talking to, they're already sitting on
their couches, already sitting down fans.

2474
02:58:26.200 --> 02:58:28.479
Moxley comes off the top of the
flying lariat and lands nicely. It's nice

2475
02:58:28.520 --> 02:58:33.000
to see it be a clothesline instead
of that goofy ass top roll bulbow drop

2476
02:58:33.079 --> 02:58:37.079
on a standing up for all those
years. Oh, I hated that move

2477
02:58:37.120 --> 02:58:41.680
so much. Here's by Also,
here's Jericho standing over Moxley laying into him.

2478
02:58:41.719 --> 02:58:48.520
We have cursed words on pay per
view. MJF said fucking on the

2479
02:58:48.559 --> 02:58:52.959
All In Show and it was great. He said five more, you know,

2480
02:58:52.200 --> 02:58:56.079
Wembley goes to the fucking end or
whatever. He said, Wembley,

2481
02:58:56.159 --> 02:59:00.479
we go to a fucking finish and
it was great. Yeah, it's great.

2482
02:59:00.680 --> 02:59:05.879
Say fucking don't see it all the
times it works. I've watched too

2483
02:59:05.959 --> 02:59:15.040
many boxing fights and UFC fights become
you know, sixty million dollar blockbuster fights

2484
02:59:15.639 --> 02:59:18.200
in terms of overall haul because the
guys were dropping f bombs like crazy,

2485
02:59:18.200 --> 02:59:24.760
and the prematche used to not think
it works. So so that's that Box

2486
02:59:24.840 --> 02:59:28.079
loads them up with shots, lariots
and the corner and j R. Goes

2487
02:59:28.120 --> 02:59:31.639
off about the high impact and physicality
and all those words. It's kind of

2488
02:59:31.680 --> 02:59:33.559
with it, but you can tell
they're tired. At the same time,

2489
02:59:35.520 --> 02:59:39.440
how prop seated missile drop kick tell
every pay per view being four hours is

2490
02:59:39.479 --> 02:59:41.639
not good? No, no,
this is before they learned. They still

2491
02:59:41.680 --> 02:59:45.840
go along, but they still go
along. You kidding me? I mean

2492
02:59:45.959 --> 02:59:50.040
fucking Christ. Sometimes sometimes I go
over, you know again, I'm expecting

2493
02:59:50.079 --> 02:59:52.200
a three hour pay per view.
I go over, I go over to

2494
02:59:52.280 --> 02:59:56.239
Did's apartment and I'm sitting there and
it's a fucking five hour show and I'm

2495
02:59:56.239 --> 02:59:58.719
like, they did a couple I
want to go home disastrous. If you

2496
02:59:58.760 --> 03:00:03.200
includ the pre show especially, it's
it's crazy. It's not Didn't didn't even

2497
03:00:03.280 --> 03:00:05.319
do the pre show. It's just
a regular show. And I was like,

2498
03:00:05.520 --> 03:00:09.000
Mistress, they have so much talent
and they just like they want to

2499
03:00:09.040 --> 03:00:11.440
get him all on. It's like, I don't know, Yeah, I

2500
03:00:11.559 --> 03:00:15.879
kind of I don't want. That's
not my problem women in the business to

2501
03:00:15.959 --> 03:00:20.239
not have jobs. I don't.
I hate the thought. But WAW has

2502
03:00:20.360 --> 03:00:24.360
yet to have that roster purge that
w TW goes through the ritual roster purge.

2503
03:00:24.600 --> 03:00:28.600
Oh, but they can't do that. Can you imagine if they do

2504
03:00:28.799 --> 03:00:31.879
that, they're gonna be so fucking
They're gonna get so much backlash for that.

2505
03:00:33.239 --> 03:00:35.360
Exactly. It's gonna be like people
are gonna be reminded that they're not

2506
03:00:35.479 --> 03:00:39.680
running a nonprofit, you know,
which they don't want to hear. So

2507
03:00:39.799 --> 03:00:43.879
the second rope seated missile drop kick
attempted by mox is turned into the walls

2508
03:00:43.879 --> 03:00:46.479
by Chris Jericho and Moxley, you
know, because he's MMA does a heelhook

2509
03:00:46.520 --> 03:00:50.559
counter and Excalibur goes off about Randy
Kature and all this MMA training kind of

2510
03:00:50.559 --> 03:00:54.079
an obnoxious part of John Moxley where
it's like he trained MMA and so now

2511
03:00:54.120 --> 03:00:58.079
we have to watch him like pretend
to do like jiu jitsu and stuff.

2512
03:00:58.520 --> 03:01:01.360
So Moxley does a tope and it
catches Jericho with the springboard drop kicking a

2513
03:01:01.360 --> 03:01:03.680
hot office springboard drop kick attempt with
the hot shot. Then is a running

2514
03:01:03.719 --> 03:01:11.040
knee strike for two and then and
then he gets snatched by Ortiz from the

2515
03:01:11.159 --> 03:01:15.120
inner circle and he wax him with
a ball and a sock. Basically it

2516
03:01:15.200 --> 03:01:18.120
looks like and that drops Moxley,
and then Jericho hits the lion salt that

2517
03:01:18.200 --> 03:01:22.280
only gets too Jericho wipes some blood
from mox onto himself, and then a

2518
03:01:22.280 --> 03:01:24.440
whipped to the corner to lariat drops
Moxley. Jericho tries to coach. Here's

2519
03:01:26.000 --> 03:01:30.360
here's Jr. Talking about the dangers
of New York. I love when they

2520
03:01:30.399 --> 03:01:35.000
fucking I love this ship because it's
so stupid. Seven tenor Ortiz are dangerous,

2521
03:01:35.079 --> 03:01:39.639
man. They're from the streets of
New York City. Not all the

2522
03:01:39.680 --> 03:01:43.200
everybody in New York City streets from
the dangerous these two are. That's where

2523
03:01:43.200 --> 03:01:48.079
they were raised. You gotta fucking
I mean, you know, you think

2524
03:01:48.079 --> 03:01:52.000
about it's like, yes, I
mean, I'm not necessary that there aren't

2525
03:01:52.120 --> 03:01:56.920
still dangerous streets in in New York. But like you know, the the

2526
03:01:56.040 --> 03:02:01.280
whole the old gimmick of like oh
it was they were raised in New York.

2527
03:02:01.319 --> 03:02:03.639
It's like you think of New York
from like the seventies and eighties,

2528
03:02:03.680 --> 03:02:07.879
where it was like a complete you
know, it was just a different city.

2529
03:02:07.959 --> 03:02:11.120
But now it's you know, New
York is pretty much Disney World.

2530
03:02:11.360 --> 03:02:16.360
Yeah well yeah, you know it's
like they're from but no, I know,

2531
03:02:16.559 --> 03:02:20.040
but like, you know, you
can't say streets in New York and

2532
03:02:20.120 --> 03:02:22.920
like say it like that anymore.
Like you get to pick a pick a

2533
03:02:22.000 --> 03:02:26.000
neighborhood, like a real neighborhood,
you know, wherever their neighborhood is.

2534
03:02:26.120 --> 03:02:28.799
You know, that's where you get
a fucking you know, you can say

2535
03:02:28.319 --> 03:02:31.719
red Hook, you know, because
red Hook for a while was was was

2536
03:02:33.079 --> 03:02:35.959
was nasty, you know, it
was a rough place, very interesting.

2537
03:02:35.239 --> 03:02:39.000
But you can't just say the streets
of New York City because like that includes

2538
03:02:39.120 --> 03:02:43.159
fucking you know, the Upper West
Side and ship. Yeah, that's where

2539
03:02:43.159 --> 03:02:46.520
people who know New York to their
heads go right away. It's like,

2540
03:02:46.559 --> 03:02:50.000
you gotta give me a neighborhood because
when you say New York, I just

2541
03:02:50.120 --> 03:02:52.719
think of the heart of the city. Right. I think I'm in Times

2542
03:02:52.760 --> 03:02:56.239
Square and I'm like, you know, you're not gonna fucking no, it's

2543
03:02:56.239 --> 03:03:00.719
not gonna be bad. I mean
again, you know, most places aren't

2544
03:03:00.760 --> 03:03:03.360
bad. There certainly are bad places. I'm not saying that there aren't but

2545
03:03:05.319 --> 03:03:11.159
like to say, it's such an
old school wrestling statement on the stretch in

2546
03:03:11.200 --> 03:03:16.600
New York pretty much. Yeah,
Jericho tries the code breaker, but there's

2547
03:03:16.600 --> 03:03:20.879
a drop down in a double arm
attempt and and he switches to the walls

2548
03:03:20.879 --> 03:03:24.159
again and mock spins out of the
way. He picks the ankle and turns

2549
03:03:24.239 --> 03:03:26.399
him over into the walls of Jericho
his own self. Moxley looking for the

2550
03:03:26.479 --> 03:03:31.920
walls, yep, and he gets
to the apron Hagar gets up there.

2551
03:03:33.200 --> 03:03:35.600
Jake Hager's out, so Moxley breaks
the hold to get to him and turns

2552
03:03:35.600 --> 03:03:39.760
around into a code breaker from Jericho
that gets to Jericho, then turns him

2553
03:03:39.760 --> 03:03:43.000
in the walls of Jericho. Jerre
makes much about how Jericho can't go get

2554
03:03:43.040 --> 03:03:46.360
his hands locked just John Monsley makes
it to the ropes Jericho that gets an

2555
03:03:46.360 --> 03:03:50.719
Aubrey's face about it and hassles her
and shoves her and then mocks ducks the

2556
03:03:50.799 --> 03:03:54.440
right hand and hits the back supplex, running lariatt by Moxley, Hager slugs

2557
03:03:54.479 --> 03:03:56.600
him from the floor at interfere but
Aubrey Edwards saw it and ejects him from

2558
03:03:56.680 --> 03:04:01.120
ringside to a big pop. Then
Sammy Gavaris it's in and crowns Mocksley with

2559
03:04:01.159 --> 03:04:05.200
the championship belt and makes off of
the crowd cover. Maybe it felt maybe

2560
03:04:05.280 --> 03:04:09.239
it felt to people like this would
if you were watching it every day,

2561
03:04:09.799 --> 03:04:13.600
that it felt like the thing.
But this is not the blowoff to this

2562
03:04:13.760 --> 03:04:20.319
is Mattress was not the blowoff that
I would want from Jericho's title title rain.

2563
03:04:20.719 --> 03:04:26.280
Like it just it didn't feel like
it. It just didn't feel right,

2564
03:04:26.440 --> 03:04:30.360
like it just wasn't built up properly. It was not there now.

2565
03:04:30.399 --> 03:04:33.239
It was kind of just like a
it was. Yeah, the program was

2566
03:04:33.280 --> 03:04:37.159
about the Inner Circle and whether they
could get Moxley into it. It wasn't

2567
03:04:37.159 --> 03:04:43.799
about the significance of Jerialdo's right right
champion. It's like this match happened and

2568
03:04:43.920 --> 03:04:46.440
had nothing to do with the belt. You know, this could have this

2569
03:04:46.600 --> 03:04:52.399
exact story could have been told without
either man holding the championship belt to actually

2570
03:04:52.600 --> 03:04:54.760
to actually make it you know what, it's been great too. Actually I

2571
03:04:54.840 --> 03:05:01.000
think would have been a really cool
thing is to have of this match and

2572
03:05:01.159 --> 03:05:07.319
do like what they did in Starkade
ninety six and have Moxley wins, not

2573
03:05:07.440 --> 03:05:11.760
for the type but only after only
afterwards they say, oh no, no,

2574
03:05:11.840 --> 03:05:13.559
it wasn't for the title. We
never said it was for the title.

2575
03:05:13.600 --> 03:05:16.440
Could be fun, you know,
that would have been fun for this

2576
03:05:16.559 --> 03:05:20.280
I think delayed cover from Jericho.
After Sammy Gavard hits Moxley with the title

2577
03:05:20.319 --> 03:05:24.200
belt, that on think gets two. Then Jericho starts slapping Moxley, and

2578
03:05:24.239 --> 03:05:26.520
Moxley rises and starts fighting back,
and they exchange shots. He tries the

2579
03:05:26.559 --> 03:05:31.440
paradigm shift as Moxley, but Jericho
gouches the good eye and hits the Yakuza

2580
03:05:31.520 --> 03:05:35.040
kick. Come on, you blind
son of a bitch. Jericho says that

2581
03:05:35.159 --> 03:05:39.920
squeaky voice he has, and then
mox wings a wild one. No one

2582
03:05:41.000 --> 03:05:43.520
there, He's like blinding, and
Jericho pot shots him and drops a knee

2583
03:05:43.520 --> 03:05:46.479
off the middle rope, and Jerry
says the ref needs to consider stopping this

2584
03:05:46.520 --> 03:05:54.200
thing because Moxley can't see. Jericho
sets up the stupid fucking eye patch things

2585
03:05:54.360 --> 03:05:56.120
that it was really goofy. I
don't know why they fuck that was him,

2586
03:05:58.079 --> 03:06:01.399
Captain Moxley series. Yeah, So
Moxley ducks the Judas effects spinning back

2587
03:06:01.440 --> 03:06:05.079
elbow and boots him in the gut, hits the paradigm shift, didn't quite

2588
03:06:05.079 --> 03:06:09.040
hook the arm on it, but
dumps Jericho nonetheless. And then Moxley stands

2589
03:06:09.120 --> 03:06:11.559
up and pulls up the eye patch, and he's been fine the whole time.

2590
03:06:11.879 --> 03:06:15.920
The cut from the attack was above
his eye, and you can see

2591
03:06:15.959 --> 03:06:18.600
it. It's open, or at
least it's freshly open, because he bladed

2592
03:06:18.639 --> 03:06:20.479
it on this evening. But that's
supposed to be the psychologies he could see

2593
03:06:20.479 --> 03:06:24.399
all along. Now, why if
you could see all along you would voluntarily

2594
03:06:24.559 --> 03:06:28.440
take one bit of your eyesight away
by covering and patch the whole time,

2595
03:06:28.479 --> 03:06:30.959
We'll never know. But apparently he
thought that it was going to be the

2596
03:06:30.959 --> 03:06:33.520
perfect trump card for the key point
in the match, and he does it

2597
03:06:33.600 --> 03:06:35.760
here. He's playing possi on the
entire time. We're told. He kicks

2598
03:06:35.799 --> 03:06:39.120
him in the gut, lifts Jericho
high for the paradigm shift or death rider

2599
03:06:39.200 --> 03:06:41.760
or wherever he calls it, dropping
Jericho on his head for the one,

2600
03:06:41.840 --> 03:06:45.840
the two, and the three.
Twenty two minutes and twenty seconds, John

2601
03:06:45.879 --> 03:06:48.360
Moxley defeats Chris Jericho to become the
new a W World Champion. Here at

2602
03:06:48.360 --> 03:06:52.000
a W Revolution twenty twenty. We've
got to do CHAMPI hoist the belt.

2603
03:06:52.000 --> 03:06:58.520
Shelby Satamente has begun in a WJR. Says the reason Moxley came here has

2604
03:06:58.600 --> 03:07:01.239
been fulfilled. He says, this
is aw wrestling, This is our champion.

2605
03:07:01.319 --> 03:07:05.399
His name is John Moxley. Oh
go ahead, Yeah, you're still

2606
03:07:05.079 --> 03:07:09.799
invite you to come along on this
amazing ride we're about to begin. Moxley

2607
03:07:09.840 --> 03:07:11.840
takes the middle rope, soaks it
all in, puts a shirt on with

2608
03:07:11.959 --> 03:07:15.600
the belt on it, and they
put over how mox is able to dupe

2609
03:07:15.639 --> 03:07:18.040
Jericho into thinking he couldn't see,
and Jr. Putting over how Jericho walked

2610
03:07:18.120 --> 03:07:22.760
right into the paradigm shift and never
would have done that if he wasn't a

2611
03:07:22.879 --> 03:07:26.680
victim of the possum playing of John
Moxley. And he grabs the belt,

2612
03:07:26.719 --> 03:07:28.280
takes a need to a Moxley chant, and he's got some things to say

2613
03:07:28.319 --> 03:07:31.559
to the people to sign us off. Yes he does. God damn,

2614
03:07:31.680 --> 03:07:43.920
I love this shifty. It has
been what hell of a year for yours.

2615
03:07:45.040 --> 03:07:52.600
Truly, he's been what hell of
a long run. But I didn't

2616
03:07:52.600 --> 03:07:56.280
win this. I didn't win this
tonight. It doesn't belong to me,

2617
03:07:58.000 --> 03:08:03.959
Just like a W belongs to you
because you, the fans, the wrestling

2618
03:08:03.120 --> 03:08:11.280
fans I've been triving Hey W forward. You are the energy that fuels a

2619
03:08:11.639 --> 03:08:22.280
W. And a year ago we
had a conversation and we said we're bringing

2620
03:08:22.319 --> 03:08:31.280
pro wrestling, pro wrestling back to
