1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.759
There were three things that I was
looking for coming into Dynamite tonight, coming

2
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:10.400
out of Double or Nothing this past
Sunday, the three most important things.

3
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:19.199
Number one was addressing the TNT title
situation, which unfortunately has led us to

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:23.199
a point where, not surprisingly,
we have a vacancy when it comes to

5
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:27.359
the TNT title. If you saw
Double or Nothing this past weekend, you

6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:33.560
saw Adam Copeland defend the title against
Malachi Black in a barbed wire steel cage

7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:39.520
match. During that match, Adam
Copeland climbed to the top of a very

8
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.840
tall cage and decided to dive off
the top onto Malachi Black. Except as

9
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.560
he dove off, he panicked,
had a change of heart, came straight

10
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.840
down on his legs, on his
ankles, and he broke his leg.

11
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.799
Now why he hesitated, Maybe he
realized this was a terrible idea. Maybe

12
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.320
he realize, oh shit, I
wrapped this man in barbed wire. I

13
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.640
don't want to disembowel myself if I
splash him on the way down. Whatever

14
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.000
it was that was going through the
man's head, Unfortunately, he is going

15
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.640
to be out for quite some time
now. He finished the match, but

16
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.560
he does have a broken leg,
and so I wanted to see tonight,

17
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.400
how are they going to address this
title situation? Because I have been saying

18
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.879
now for the longest time that all
roads lead to Adam Copeland dropping the TNT

19
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.159
title to Jack Perry. Jack Perry
was brought back. He is part of

20
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.879
the elite. The elite have the
continental title, the elite have the tag

21
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.680
team titles, and it only made
sense that Jack Perry would be next in

22
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.400
line and Copeland would put him over
one of the pillars, one of the

23
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.159
young stars on the aw roster,
for that TNT title. He will not

24
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.959
have that opportunity now. But tonight
the elite came out and they were all

25
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.239
set to bestow upon Jack Perry to
hand him over like Eric Bischoff handing the

26
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.079
World Heavyweight title out of a briefcase
over to Triple H many years ago,

27
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:13.000
hand him the TNT title. When
Christopher Daniels re emerged, the same Christopher

28
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.879
Daniels who was fired unceremoniously only a
few weeks ago on TV by the elite

29
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.039
and given his severance. Well,
as it turned out, he is not

30
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.280
fired. He is now the surrogate
for one Tony Khan, and I'm here

31
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.439
to say that That is a wonderful
idea because it gets Tony Khan off television

32
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.840
and it gives somebody else the chance
to do the talking for him, which

33
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.680
is honestly the best solution. If
you want to communicate things from Tony Kahn

34
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.560
on television, you have somebody else
who can actually speak on television do so

35
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.240
on his behalf. So that was
a great decision that they made here on

36
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.560
this show to not have Tony Khan
be the one to come out and do

37
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.879
the talking. But what we're going
to have is a ladder match at for

38
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.479
Bidden Door. All roads lead to
the Ubs Arena. It's gonna be a

39
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.560
ladder match. Qualifying matches will take
place on television starting this Friday on Friday

40
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:19.360
Night Dynamite. According to Christopher Daniels, who had one job, it's rampage.

41
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.080
They're gonna have qualifying matches. That
is how they are going to crown

42
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.039
a brand new TNG champion. Yeah. The thing about the Copeland thing that

43
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.439
really is is sad and it's too
bad, is that he would have been

44
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.000
on the Wembley Stadium card this year. You know what he debuted last year.

45
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.159
It was a couple months after the
Wembley Show, so he wasn't able

46
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.919
to be a part of that show, and he won't be a part of

47
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:45.599
the show this year, at least
not in a match. I mean,

48
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.280
maybe he could make an appearance,
but that's got to suck for him,

49
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.560
you know, the fact that he
will not be able to have a match

50
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.039
on that show. But that's what
happens when unfortunately you make dumb decisions.

51
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.240
Things like this happen. And I
knew it as soon as I I saw

52
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.800
him limping at the end of that
match on Sunday, I said, that's

53
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.240
it. I thought it was a
knee injury. Turned out to be a

54
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:12.039
fractured tibia, although I noticed on
TV tonight ex Caliber mentioned a fracture at

55
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.280
ankle, so I'm not sure if
that's an update or he just misspoke.

56
00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:17.759
Maybe he broke both. I'm surprised
he didn't break both his legs, to

57
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:24.680
be honest with you, but it's
a lesson learned not to do stupid stuff

58
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:29.199
like that. I wish him well. So that answered question number one.

59
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.839
The other question that they had to
address on the show tonight that I was

60
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:40.360
watching for who is going to be
set up as the next challenger? For

61
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.759
Swerve Strickland and the AW World Championship. We already knew coming in they were

62
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.240
doing a casino gauntlet match. They
were going to crown a number one contender

63
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.839
for Forbidden Door. Who is that
person going to be? Now? My

64
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.759
fear, I say fear, because
it's not the match I wanted to see.

65
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.920
But we had Tanahashi make a surprise
appearance on Collision on Saturday. He

66
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:09.079
was there in Vegas on Sunday.
He has challenged for the AW World Title

67
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.560
or interim title in the AW World
Title each of the past two years at

68
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.199
Forbidden Door, first against John Moxley
and then against mjf And I said,

69
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.240
well, Tanahashi's in town. Tanahashi
holds a win last year on TV over

70
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.519
Swerve Strickland. Are they going to
give us Tanahashi for the third straight year?

71
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.079
I hope not. I don't need
to see that. Thankfully, we

72
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.199
did not get that, and what
we ended up getting was such a surprise.

73
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.360
I can sit here now and tell
you that my early prediction for the

74
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:45.600
owen Hart Tournament, the owen Hart
Foundation Tournament is already out the window because

75
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.879
when Tony Kahn and Martha Hard and
now and to this year's owens for the

76
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.639
men's and women's. On Sunday,
I said, will ospray, Mariah May,

77
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.800
those are my early predictions. Those
are the favorites right there, Mariah

78
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.240
May for the women, will ospray
for the men. You do Ospray and

79
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.240
Swerve for the aw World title in
the main event of Wembley Stadium. That's

80
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:09.639
the main event. That's what you
do. Will Osprey was in the gauntlet

81
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.879
match tonight. Now, the last
time we saw will Ospray and a casino

82
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.839
gauntlet was the first time that we
saw at casino gauntlet last month. The

83
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.560
winner would go on to double or
nothing to challenge for the international title.

84
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.600
Will Ospray won that gauntlet. Guess
what. Will Osprey is now two to

85
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.079
zero in gauntlet matches because he walked
in tonight the new international champion. He

86
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:38.079
walked out International champion and number one
contender for the AEW World Championship. He

87
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:44.360
will now be challenging Swerve Strickland not
at Wembley, but on Long Island.

88
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.600
And I say that as somebody who
lived on Long Island for four years.

89
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.759
Long Island as compared to Wembley Stadium
in London, England, We're getting the

90
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.680
match, and I'm I'm surprised.
I'm a little conflicted. I don't hate

91
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.360
it. It's gonna be a fucking
fantastic match. I don't know that it

92
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:09.879
will do Swerve any favors necessarily,
because Will Osprey is the most over babyface

93
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.000
outside of probably MJF in the entire
company, or at least their neck and

94
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.079
Neck. I mean, he's the
guy. Swerve Strickland's still very popular.

95
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.920
But if you put the two of
them side by side and you gauge the

96
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:27.839
crowd reaction, will Osprey is probably
winning that contest. So now the question

97
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.839
becomes, what's their plan for Wembley? Are they going to do Osprey and

98
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.920
Swerve in June and then run it
back again in August and give us two

99
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.639
matches instead of one? Is there
going to be some kind of angle maybe

100
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.360
that they shoot at forbidden door?
You know, I don't know what it

101
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.879
has me wondering even is maybe MJF
is going to be in the main event

102
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.800
at Wembley Stadium. Maybe the matches
Swerve and MJF. MJF looking to get

103
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.240
the belt back that he got screwed
out of back at World's End. I

104
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.600
don't know where they're going to go
with this. It was Frankly, it

105
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.759
was a shocking to me finish to
that main event tonight because I was not

106
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.040
expecting that to be the case.
But it's hard to not sit here and

107
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.240
be excited that we are getting that
match because that is a huge match and

108
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879
its two babyfaces going one on one. So the crab reaction is going to

109
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.480
be very interesting to see how much
support Osprey, if any, pulls away

110
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.360
from Swerve as we get closer to
the show. The thing I also liked

111
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.200
about is the fact that I had
convinced myself that it's forbidden door season and

112
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.799
the Tan of Hashi thing I mentioned, So we're going to get a non

113
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.000
aw talent challenging Swerve for the title
at a time when Swerve really needs an

114
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.799
aw few. You know, he
beat Christian Cage at Double or Nothing.

115
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.279
They had a great match, but
he's got to move on to something else

116
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.240
that can play itself out on TV
from week to week, and matching him

117
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.480
up with a ton of Hashi or
a Shingo or some from another promotion doesn't

118
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.960
do him any good, you know, it doesn't do this run any good.

119
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.720
He's got to have some kind of
story to really sink his teeth into.

120
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.519
Well, he's going in there against
an AAW talent, all right,

121
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.440
He's going in there against one of
the top talents in AAW. So that's

122
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.960
gonna be a lot of fun to
follow. But I was shocked by the

123
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.720
end of that match, and that
main event was fucking wild. Everybody who

124
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.080
came out and they had surprises.
They sprinkled some surprises in there. We

125
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.240
had Mystico, and we had Shooter
Umino, and we had Osprey was maybe

126
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.360
the biggest surprise of all. To
be honest with you, Leo Rush.

127
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.759
We had all kinds of people Jay
White, which I was happy to see

128
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.320
Jay White featured in a match like
this, hopefully now with Juice Robinson back.

129
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.240
I would love it if they just
had Juice kind of take his spot

130
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.159
as one third of the trio's champs
and let Jay go do his thing on

131
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.720
his own in singles competition. So
everybody who came out, it just kept

132
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.320
building and building it. When Osprey
came out, they're like, God,

133
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.960
the fucking key of Forum. These
people nuts for this guy. If you

134
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.679
want an example of how over he
is, look at the reaction that he

135
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.720
got when they hit his music in
that match, So one thing after another,

136
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.799
one person would come out, they
would do crazy moves. Everybody was

137
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.639
going nuts for it. It was
a very fun main event and we're going

138
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.080
to get more into that. But
there was a third question. There was

139
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.399
a third question that had to be
answered coming into this show tonight, which

140
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:31.159
was what is next for MJF.
MJF has been gone since December. He

141
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.000
made his surprise return on Sunday at
Double or Nothing. He came out,

142
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:41.240
he kicked Adam Cole in the dick
seemingly for now moved on because Adam Cole

143
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.679
is not ready to get back in
the ring, although he did take a

144
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.159
bump, but he's not ready to
get back in the ring yet, and

145
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.519
so it looks like they're going to
move on to something else for MJF in

146
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:52.799
the meantime. What that is,
we don't know. But he came out

147
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.840
there and was very declarative in that
I'm not going anywhere. You know,

148
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.559
he has the AW logo tattoo now
on his lower leg. He made it

149
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:07.679
very clear that he is mister AW. He's all in Double or Nothing and

150
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.960
he's not going anywhere. So what
is he going to do now, That's

151
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.600
what I wanted to know. Unfortunately, that's the one question they did not

152
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.879
answer on this show. I was
very surprised to not see him on the

153
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.919
show at all. I figured the
reason they put his segment on the pay

154
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.440
per view at all instead of saving
it for tonight was to promote the fact

155
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.360
that he's back and then get people
to tune in to see him on Wednesday.

156
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.200
And then he wasn't even on the
show. That he was never advertised

157
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.000
for the show, which was curious
enough but surprising to not see him on

158
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.919
the card. Here they are promoting
him for next week though, so they

159
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.480
made it very clear that MJF will
be back on dynam next week, and

160
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.840
they've already teased his first opponent because
there was a very brief segment in the

161
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.080
back later in the show where we
had Rouche throw some words out, throw

162
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.519
some fighting words out at MJF.
I believe, in particular, what he

163
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.240
said was that when you mess with
the bull, you get the hearns.

164
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.879
That's what he said, you get
the hearns. So MJF and Rouche,

165
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.879
it's gonna be a very interesting match
when we get it. I don't know

166
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.559
maybe forbidden Door. Maybe that's the
forbidden Door match. But that was the

167
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.679
one question of the three that we
did not get answered on this show.

168
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.600
We did, however, get the
Dynamite en ring debut of Mercedes Monette.

169
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.759
You know, for a woman who
signed with this company so many months ago

170
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.679
and did nothing. They signed her, they debuted her, they did nothing

171
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.840
with her. It took until Sunday
to see her get back in the ring

172
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.399
one year almost to the day that
she broke her ankle, and she had

173
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.200
that great match with Well on Nightingale
on Sunday, came back tonight here on

174
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.799
Dynamite, back in the ring,
already defending her TBS title. Can't hate

175
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.799
on that here. I was for
weeks sitting here wondering, why is this

176
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.720
woman not wrestling? I want to
see her in the ring. Promos are

177
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.080
not her strong suit. I don't
want to see her doing promos. I

178
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.639
don't want to see her doing commentary. I want to see her back in

179
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.759
the ring. Well, we just
had two matches of hers in less than

180
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.320
a week, with her first title
defense here on this show, and I

181
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.360
like that. I thought the first
hour of this show tonight was actually pretty

182
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.279
mediocre. Overall, but then things
picked up. I really enjoyed that second

183
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.559
hour, and on the whole,
I enjoyed Dynamite. I thought it was

184
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.440
a fun show. I had fun
with the show. I didn't love everything

185
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.639
that was on it, but it
felt like there was a lot going on

186
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.279
on this show, a lot of
different stories, a lot of different people

187
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.240
making appearances. Chris Statlander, we
got her first heel promo on this show.

188
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.759
No, Willow. Willow was not
on the show, but there was

189
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.159
a lot going on and I had
a lot of fun, especially with that

190
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.240
main event. But on the whole, I had fun with this show tonight,

191
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.679
and hopefully they can build on this
for next week. But there's a

192
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.679
lot of different things to get into, so let's not waste any more time

193
00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:01.759
here. This is your aaw Dynamite
review. It is Wednesday, May twenty

194
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.879
ninth, two thousand and twenty four. I am the Solemn Monster. I

195
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.840
mentioned Mercedes Monette. They kicked off
the show with the TBS champion coming out

196
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.480
for her TBS Championships celebration. They
had balloons in the ring all over the

197
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.919
mat. They had balloons that were
tied to the ring posts. She comes

198
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:30.000
out and she says, wasn't it
Wasn't it worth the weight? Wasn't I

199
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.879
worth the weight? She said,
that didn't I tell you that money changes

200
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.600
everything? She said. We were
here to celebrate the greatest of all time,

201
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:45.000
her and here I am thinking,
oh, okay, sticking with the

202
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.840
heel turned right. Okay, that's
good to know, right, That's the

203
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.759
right role for her to be in. That's what it felt like here in

204
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.440
the early going of this promo.
She's out here putting over Willow Nightingale and

205
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.679
putting over her match with her from
Double or Nothing. They tore the house

206
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.919
down on Sunday. She also said
that Willow was too nice because even she

207
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.000
could have seen she being Mercedes,
that Chris Statlander and that Snake Stokely were

208
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.879
going to screw her over. So
she looks forward to Willow kicking their asses

209
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.200
when she eventually comes back. Like
I said, there was no Willow Nightingale

210
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.759
on this show, and she was
talking like we might. The way she

211
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.519
was talking here, it was like
we might not see Willow for a while,

212
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.000
but she's looking forward to when Willow
comes back, and Willow will kick

213
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.960
their asses, she said. As
the new face of TBS, she knows

214
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:41.200
that she has a target on her
back. And before that, before she

215
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.320
can go on here, she was
interrupted by sky Blue up on the tron.

216
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.840
Sky Blue said that she had a
surprise for her, and then they

217
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.799
showed us highlights of the angle from
many weeks ago. Now, this is

218
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.600
an angle that you heard me mention, I think during the Double or Nothing

219
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:02.120
review, and I was waiting to
see if Ton was going to follow up

220
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.120
on this. They did that sit
down interview with her and Alex Marvez last

221
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:11.399
month. It was it was not
good and the lights went out and we

222
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.320
heard that there was some kind of
commotion and when the lights came back on,

223
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.440
Mercedes was on the ground. Somebody
had attacked her. We just don't

224
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.960
know who, and we never found
out who the mystery attacker was. So

225
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.120
they show highlights of that segment and
then they cut back, you know,

226
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.399
live to sky Blue on the screen
and she says, that was some of

227
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:34.879
my best work. And she says
there she's only getting started. So as

228
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.919
she said that, and she winked
at Mercedes, Mercedes is in the ring

229
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.240
telling her, come on, you
know, I'm waiting for you, and

230
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:48.600
then in behind her sneaks in sky
Blue and she attacks Mercedes from behind,

231
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.039
hoists her up on her shoulders before
dropping her with atko and it ended with

232
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.279
sky Blue holding the TBS title in
the air heading up the ramp, and

233
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:04.039
we had Mercedes airing back up at
her. At least they tied up the

234
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.039
loose end. Is this the payoff
that I was expecting? Is this the

235
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:14.319
payoff I was hoping for? No, it was actually a very underwhelming payoff

236
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.960
here, but we did at least
tie up that loose end. I thought,

237
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:18.599
again, this might go the way
of the White Hummer in WCW and

238
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.039
it might just be forgotten about.
So at least they put a period on

239
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.279
that, and it actually led to
a match that was made for later in

240
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:32.119
the show. I look, if
you think back to what was going on

241
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:38.519
at that time when that segment was
shot, I thought the most predictable attacker,

242
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.759
the most predictable name here was going
to be Julia Hart. Find out

243
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:47.640
that Julia Heart attacker. Well,
Julia Hart is hurt and she's out very

244
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.039
long list of people who are hurt. Sky Blue is her minion. So

245
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:57.680
this really was the most predictable outcome
to this. You know, it's not

246
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:03.839
terribly surprised. It's just not exciting
either, but we probably should have seen

247
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.680
that one coming. So they went
the predictable route. As the first challenger

248
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.960
for the TBS title. I thought, she's fine, you know, I

249
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.279
I would have loved for it to
be Chris Statlander, you know, going

250
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.119
in there as the you know,
we find out she was the attacker.

251
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.680
She ends up being the first you
know, challenger for Mercedes. But the

252
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.839
fact is her program right now is
with Willow Nightingale. The issue is between

253
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:33.200
Willow and Statlander, not Statlander and
anybody else. I think they could have

254
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.559
done Statlander and Mercedes and then have
Willow come back at that point and cost

255
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.079
Statlander, you know, for what
she did to her. You could have

256
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.200
done that, and that would have
made sense to But again I get it,

257
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.319
I get why they didn't want to
go in that direction. But there's

258
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.279
lots of talent in the aw women's
division for Mercedes to work with people that

259
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.839
she she has and mostly hasn't worked
with before. Because I'm sure at some

260
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.039
point we're gonna get Mercedes and Soireya
you know, which we've seen but not

261
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.279
for many years. But there's a
lot of talent in that division. That

262
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.000
Mercedes has never had the chance to
work with before. Sky Blue is one

263
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.400
of those people. Now, sky
Blue is not at the top of my

264
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.440
list, and she may not be
at the top of yours, But I

265
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.640
do want to see her get in
the ring with people like Skyblue, people

266
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.160
that we have never seen her work
with before, and work with these people.

267
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.000
That's the whole point of her coming
to AW is to see her work

268
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.720
with different people. So I don't
mind it. But again, she's not

269
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.839
somebody who would have been at the
top of my list as a first opponent

270
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.119
for Mercedes to go in there and
be I don't see anything wrong with it.

271
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.960
If anything, I'm more disappointed that
it looked to me here like he

272
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.640
bit her heel run may be over. She was clearly being positioned as a

273
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.920
heel and leaning into it. You
know, we had the contract signing a

274
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.039
few weeks ago with her and Willow
and I was like, Okay, good,

275
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.640
that's the right role for her to
be in. And then she starts

276
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:02.480
this segment out talking about how she's
the greatest of all time and just the

277
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.000
things that she says and the way
that she carries herself in there just screams

278
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.799
heel, but I'm not so sure
now. I mean, now it feels

279
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.319
like she might be back in the
babyface spot, so I hope not.

280
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.839
I really don't think that's the right
spot for her to be in, but

281
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.119
it looks like that that may well
be the case. If that is,

282
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:29.119
that sucks because that's not what I
was hoping for now. Earlier today,

283
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:37.000
we saw the Young Bucks and Kazushka
Okada arrive in their car. We had

284
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.960
the Scapegoat Jack Perry arrive in his
Scapegoat bus. They all arrive in the

285
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.359
parking lot. That leads into a
video package showing us highlights of some of

286
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.799
the key matches from Double or Nothing. This past Sunday, we had the

287
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:59.559
aw world champion Swerve Strickland against kill
Switch in a non title match, which

288
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:06.759
felt very random when they announced this. They announced it he had already beaten

289
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.880
Christian Cage on Sunday and it felt
like that issue was dead, you know,

290
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:15.319
with Swerve and the Patriarchy. So
I saw the announcement, I said,

291
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.319
well, why are we doing this? But it was tied into a

292
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.799
special promotion, so it was part
of a promotion that Warner Brothers Discovery is

293
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.759
doing for the new season of House
of the Dragon. So, yeah,

294
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.799
the House of the Dragon. I
don't watch the show. If you're a

295
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.240
Game of Thrones fan, I'm sure
you're very much looking forward to the new

296
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:40.519
season. But the reason they did
this, you know, you have the

297
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.599
Dragon the dinosaur, get it.
It's the only reason that this match even

298
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.519
happened, the only reason that we
got this match here tonight on this show.

299
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.759
So Strickland connected with the draping neck
breaker off the apron. Kill Switch

300
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:02.799
then blocked a pump kick from the
A and sent Strickland crashing into the ring

301
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:08.039
steps. Please keep this up,
you actually want you want it to be

302
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.319
kept on. I will. We'll
see, you know, I am a

303
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.839
man of the people, so we'll
see. I can't do anything about it

304
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.119
right now, so you're gonna have
to live with it for tonight. But

305
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:25.400
Strickland got sent crashing into the ring
steps. Kill Switch control through a commercial

306
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:30.680
break swerve, locked in a desperation
triangle into a rolling flatliner, followed up

307
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.839
with an upper cut off the ropes
and connected on a brainbuster for two.

308
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.920
Kill Switch avoided big pressure and hit
a head butt in mid air off of

309
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:45.839
a rolling Strickland. The choke slamb
connected Strickland, though kicked out. Kill

310
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.319
Switch went outside. He grabbed a
chair and Prince Nana ripped it away from

311
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:56.119
him, distracting kill Switch long enough
for Strickland to connect with multiple pump kicks

312
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.160
and a swerve stump off the apron
back inside. Swerve wanted a house call

313
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.519
kick, but kill Switch caught it. Hit another choke slamb and then a

314
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.160
standing moon salt, which is always
very impressive, you know. Again for

315
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.880
a guy that size to be able
to hit a perfect standing moon salt like

316
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:17.359
that, you know, he likes
to show off his athleticism. So kill

317
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.680
Switch, they'll miss the lariat.
Strickland hit a bounce back German, a

318
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:23.720
house call and a swerve stomp and
everybody thought it was over. I thought

319
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.359
it was over all the fans there
in the key of Forum, they thought

320
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.519
that it was over. But he
kicked out to the surprise of everyone,

321
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:38.160
including Swerve. Strickland hit another house
call to officially put him away. So

322
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.160
that was the end of that.
All that just to get hit with one

323
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:48.079
more kick and that was the end
of the Dinosaur with a Dragon. After

324
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.319
the match, Prince Nana gave Swerves
some scissors. Now, if you remember

325
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.519
what happened a few weeks ago,
Christian Cage said that I'm going to take

326
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.400
something from you every single week.
And one of the things that Christian Cage

327
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:07.720
and his cohorts took from Swerve was
one of his dreadlocks, ripped the hair

328
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.440
right out of his head. And
so now it was time for Swerve to

329
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:17.400
get his revenge turn about his fair
play. So Nana hands him the pair

330
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:22.920
of scissors. He cuts off a
lock of hair, a braid from kill

331
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:30.279
Switch. This was so goofy,
and I'm gonna tell you why this was.

332
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.640
I mean, the angle itself is
fine. If you are reading it

333
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.680
out loud, it's like, well
that makes sense, right, It's like

334
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:42.200
eye for an eye. What's goofy
about it? They got a close up

335
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:47.960
shot, which they should not have
done. As Swerve went to go cut

336
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.039
the hair off, the hair was
not attached to his head. The hair

337
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:59.079
was attached to the strap on his
mask. So they cut the braid off

338
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.880
of the man. And I'm sitting
here going, how is this revenge?

339
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.599
This is supposed to be his big, his big revenge that he's getting for

340
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.359
what was done to him all the
week all those weeks ago and his hair

341
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.839
got cut from his head. Why
would you get a close up shot of

342
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:21.319
that, Like you could have done
the angle but not gotten up so close.

343
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:25.119
Shot it from a different angle where
we can't necessarily see all of it.

344
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:26.839
But then he cuts it off and
raises it above, and it's like,

345
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.839
all right, he gets his revenge. He cut the fucking hair like

346
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:37.359
it's like Kine's wig exactly, It's
like Caine's wig. I don't know why

347
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.799
they zoomed in on that, I
don't know, but it looked. It

348
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.440
looked bad. Now, the branding
of the match, the whole House of

349
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.119
the Dragon thing purely promotional. It
didn't factor into the match at all,

350
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.599
or you know, I was disappointed
that there was no dragon that came out

351
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.599
it started breathing fire, so it
didn't mean anything. There was no Christian,

352
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.920
there was no Nick Wayne. More
importantly and more disappointingly, there was

353
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.920
no Mother Wayne, so the patriarchy
wasn't even there. Literally just felt like,

354
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.240
all right, we want to get
Swerve on the show, We want

355
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.079
to get the champ on the show, and we have this great promotion.

356
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.599
We want to keep our network partner
happy. We're in the middle of this

357
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:21.559
negotiation period, we're trying to sign
a big contract to keep Dynamite here on

358
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.079
the Turner Networks. We want to
make sure that we're a team player,

359
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:27.000
and so we'll do whatever they want
us to do. And that's really all

360
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.400
that this was. We would find
out later in the show, though,

361
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.960
who his challenger would be for Forbidden
Doors, so we were not quite done

362
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.440
yet with Swerve. The match itself, I thought was good. That was

363
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.640
a good match, you know.
And I see there are people who are

364
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:47.599
complaining about the fuck why are we
seeing Swerve so often? And I do

365
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.920
think that you don't need him in
the ring every single week. But I

366
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.000
also think that you have people who
are just I feel like they're in Roman

367
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.839
Reigns mode, you know, where
you still have people who have Roman Reigns

368
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.759
on the brain who never shows up. You know, if you think back

369
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.119
to his run, right, he
never shows up when he's the champion.

370
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.000
He never rarely defends on TV.
And when was the last time Roman Reigns

371
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.359
when he was the champion defended on
TV. Probably Matt Riddle right two years

372
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.839
ago. It's okay for the champion
to wrestle on TV. It doesn't have

373
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:26.119
to be every week. Tony Shavanni
then stood up at the announced desk.

374
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.000
He had an announcement to make,
like the anonymous GM has sent the message

375
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.920
here, and Tony Shravanni stands up
and he tells us that per Tony Khan

376
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.920
Mercedes Monet will have her first defense
of the TVs title and it will happen

377
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.680
tonight here at the Key of Forum
on Dynamite, and it will come one

378
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:48.200
on one against sky Blue. So
we didn't have to wait very long to

379
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.240
get the match. They shot that
angle all those weeks ago. We got

380
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:55.960
the big reveal tonight and it's right
into the match. But I was happy

381
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:57.799
about that though so many times,
you know, it's like, all right,

382
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:03.519
we'll announce something for a next week. Why not announce something for tonight

383
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.640
and give us a big match on
the show. Again. I want to

384
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.759
see Mercedes in the ring more,
not less. So she's somebody who I'm

385
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.319
not going to sit here and go, well, why is the TBS champion

386
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.240
defending her title on TBS. That's
where she should be defending her title on

387
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:23.640
fucking TVs. So that was good. We had the debut, Well this

388
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:30.440
was not good. Actually, what
I see is up next? Here we

389
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:37.000
had the debut of Chris Jericho's new
talk show segment, TV Time with Chris

390
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:42.440
Jericho, which I am sure you
were all very excited about TV Time here

391
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:45.599
with Chris Jericho. You were all
waiting with bated breath to see what would

392
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.359
Chris Jericho be doing on this show. Now, it's not what would Jesus

393
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.200
do, it's what would Jericho do? That's what the jay stands for,

394
00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:00.119
what would Jericho do? Well,
we had the debut of TV Time Now

395
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:07.440
in the ring, they had a
giant cutout of it was cardboard or whatever

396
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.400
it was, but they had a
giant cutout of a tree in the ring.

397
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:19.920
And I had flashbacks because when I
was younger and I was in elementary

398
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:26.440
school, my friends we had a
play called The Colored Green, and yours

399
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:32.279
truly was one of the feature stars
actually in display, and myself and all

400
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:37.000
of my friends we had to dress
up as or in green as various things,

401
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.880
one of which was a tree.
So I had friends of mine who

402
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.200
were out on stage dressed like a
tree. And so I see this giant

403
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.720
tree in the ring, and it
reminded me of that. And in case

404
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:53.599
you were wondering. I actually have
footage for you. So this has never

405
00:29:53.640 --> 00:30:00.799
before seen, exclusive world premiere footage
here of Solomons in the the color green.

406
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.799
Watch when the curtain parts, and
look who's on the right. There

407
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:10.160
he is in all his glory wearing
the color green. Now you'll see here

408
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.720
in a moment. Look at the
trees. Look at this. There you

409
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:14.839
go, you go, one,
two, three, you got three trees

410
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:19.519
here, there you go, World
premiere. Boy, it took me back

411
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:25.319
the color green. You never know
what you're gonna get here on these streets.

412
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.920
You never know. You're gonna have
women randomly talking out of nowhere.

413
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.519
You're gonna have Ted Cruz, You're
gonna have me dressed up as the color

414
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.440
green. You never fucking know what
you're gonna get. That's why you got

415
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:38.240
to tune in live. So we
had a giant tree in the ring.

416
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:44.759
We had green carpeting. I guess
that's supposed to be grass. I wish

417
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.839
I was on grass or taking grass
as I was watching this segment. And

418
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.720
then we had a new version of
the old Jeratron five thousand and on the

419
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:57.920
screen. It had the TV time
with Chris Jericho logo on screen, so

420
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:04.640
big Bill was in the room,
and Big Bill introduced Jericho down to the

421
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:12.079
ring. Jericho gets in and he
goes. He says, who wants more

422
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:18.200
TV time? You know I do? And Taz on commentary said, that's

423
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:25.119
a shoot. I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is. So Bill

424
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:29.039
said, if there's one thing that
Jericho has taught him, it's even though

425
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.960
leaves may come down in the fall, they always grow back in the spring,

426
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.160
stronger and brighter than ever. Jericho
thanks the Big Redwood and all the

427
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:44.640
fans, all the branches that have
sat under the learning tree. So he

428
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:48.759
cackles about how tough his title defense
was on Sunday against Hook and Sabata.

429
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:55.680
Actually, I just realized, you
know what I drew superchats. It reminds

430
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.559
me of the Shebata gimmick. That's
what it reminds me of. When he

431
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:07.480
types the talk to text into his
phone, that's what it is. So

432
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:15.440
he says that he wants to introduce
somebody to us, and he introduces us

433
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:21.880
to the bounty hunter Brian Keith Chris. Jericho has hired a bounty hunter,

434
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.559
so he is now part of his
crew. Here. Jericho asks, what

435
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:31.000
made you want to get sucked into
the Jericho vortex and become a disciple of

436
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:37.599
the Learning Tree. So Keith said
that he noticed a lack of respect for

437
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:45.400
Jericho here in aew the longest reigning
FTW champion in history. Taz immediately piped

438
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.119
in and said that is not accurate. An ex caliverse specified he meant for

439
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:57.319
the world. For the world is
what the title name now is. So

440
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:01.240
the fans chanted, shut the fuck
up, and Jericho told them to quiet

441
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:07.920
down. This is a PG show. So Brian Keats starts shouting, show

442
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.720
some respect, show some respect,
over and over and over again. It's

443
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:14.960
like the people who are yelling at
me on Sunday night when I tweeted about

444
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:19.759
Adam Copeland, show respect, show
respect to Jericho, tells him to calm

445
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.799
down. He said, the lesson
of the day is that if you want

446
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.440
something to happen, you have to
go out and grab it, just like

447
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:30.119
Keith did. A double or nothing. He respects that he's a bad man.

448
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:36.119
Bill interrupted at that point, Big
Bill and said that he might even

449
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:43.119
say he's a bad apple. Oh
God. And Jericho said, you know

450
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:47.920
what they say. The apple doesn't
fall far from the learning tree. And

451
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:57.400
then he fake laughed, so Hook's
music interrupted. Thank god he walked out.

452
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:00.559
He dropped some of the security geeks
who tried to stop him in the

453
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:06.960
aisleway. Samoa Joe's music played,
and everybody is looking towards the tunnels.

454
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.880
But then Joe, out of nowhere, he walks right up to Hook.

455
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.480
What was he in? Was he
sitting in the front row as a fan?

456
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:21.800
Where did he come from? He
was right there, like they immediately

457
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.639
cut back the Hook outside the ring
and he's face to face with Joe.

458
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.880
I think Joe was just hanging out
in the crowd having popcorn, watching the

459
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:31.280
show. He hasn't had anything better
to do since Dynasty, So there he

460
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:37.519
was in his nice shirt. So
now he's face to face with Hook.

461
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:43.840
He whispered something in Hook's ear,
and the two of them they left together.

462
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:49.079
That was it. Turned around,
walked right out. Maybe maybe Joe

463
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:51.599
was like, look, this segment
is fucking terrible, So why don't you

464
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:53.280
and I just go backstage and hang
out for a little bit. We'll have

465
00:34:53.320 --> 00:35:00.440
some Dorido's or something, and off
they went. Anything involving Samoa Joe has

466
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.800
my attention. He doesn't have to
be the aw World Champion anymore. Joe

467
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.559
is great, and so if he's
on the show and he's involved in something,

468
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:13.880
I'll pay attention to it. Jericho
hamming it up like this is it's

469
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:19.880
painful. But if Joe is going
to be involved here, then I'll tolerate

470
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:23.239
it. But as for the Jericho
stuff, again, he's in his own

471
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:27.400
little vortex, as he says,
and I don't care for it. But

472
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:30.679
we'll see where the hook and the
Joe stuff goes. That's really all I

473
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:36.920
can say about that. Ex Caliber
at this point pitched it to footage of

474
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:42.320
the match from Sunday highlights of the
match between John Moxley and Kenoski Takeshta.

475
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.079
Then he said, no, no, I'm sorry, We're gonna go to

476
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:51.960
footage of CMLL star Stephanie Vaker.
But then they showed highlights of Moxley and

477
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.559
Takeshta. Anyway, then they came
back with a shot of the announcers at

478
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:02.039
ringside and they said, well,
we're a live I've hey, these things

479
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:08.960
happen. Now let's go to footage
of CMLL Women's Champion and also the new

480
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:15.320
Japan Strong Women's Champion, Stephanie v
Ker, And so they showed highlights of

481
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:19.360
some of her matches. While ex
Caliber narrated over the video package, they

482
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:24.800
teased her involvement, her possible involvement
at Forbidden Door without actually announcing anything or

483
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:30.360
naming who her opponent might be.
Stay tuned for that. We'll talk more

484
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:31.920
about that in a second Forbidden Door. This year, we're supposed to have

485
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:38.000
involvement from New Japan, CMLL and
possibly stardom, and you have to change

486
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:42.000
it up a little bit because again, now this is year number three I

487
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.039
think, right this will be the
third one, and there was a novelty

488
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.000
to it at first. The second
one was very good. You had you

489
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:51.920
know, Osprey, I think was
Osprey and Omega last year, right,

490
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.480
So but now it's year three.
That coupled with the fact that so many

491
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:02.400
top New Japan names have migrated over
from New Japan to AW and it just

492
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:07.159
doesn't have the same allure that it
did at the very beginning. So what

493
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:09.880
do you do? You add other
promotions to it instead of just New Japan.

494
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:13.639
You have CML all instead of just
those two. Maybe you throw some

495
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:15.239
stardom in there. Now that Rossi
Elgawa is out of the way, and

496
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:19.960
Tony kah never wanted to work with
him. They're probably going to be more

497
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.719
open to having stardom Tala loook.
We've had Mina Shirakawa make appearances on TV.

498
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:28.079
Wouldn't surprise me at all to see
her have a match lined up,

499
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.320
maybe even something involving her her friend
Mariah May. Maybe they're partners. I

500
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:38.519
don't know, we'll see. John
Moxley was out next. The reigning IWGP

501
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:45.480
Heavyweight champion fresh off has went over
toa Keshta on Sunday with one good arm

502
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:55.679
in another eliminator match. Another IWGP
eliminator match here in aaw this time it

503
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:01.199
was against Rocky Romero. And so
what that meant is that if Rocky Romero

504
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:07.639
were to beat John Moxley here on
this show, oh man, I hey,

505
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:09.320
I didn't know if I was gonna
be able to say that with a

506
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:14.960
straight face. I wasn't sure,
but somehow I made it. But in

507
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:17.360
theory, if Rocky Romero was to
be the one to get a win over

508
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.000
John Moxley, then Rocky Romero would
be in line for a shot at the

509
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:28.599
IWGP World Heavyweight title sometime in the
near future against whoever the champion is after

510
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:36.719
dominion Because Moxley is defending the title
against Evil at Dominion, and so whoever

511
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.079
is the champion then would defend against
Rocky if he was to win this match.

512
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.960
So before I even get into the
match here, and it's gonna be

513
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:50.920
brief, I'm not gonna spend too
much time on this. But if Kenoski

514
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:55.599
Takeshta couldn't get a win, if
they couldn't give Toa Keshta a win over

515
00:38:55.679 --> 00:39:02.960
John Moxley, do you honestly believe
that Rocky Romero stood a chance against this

516
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:10.000
man here in this match? And
Romero is actually in an executive role in

517
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:14.400
New Japan. He's been the liaison
between the two companies, so not only

518
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.320
is he wrestling in AW, I
think he's a VP or an EVP for

519
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:22.400
New Japan or Bushy Road or whatever. So you could say, oh,

520
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.440
well, he's technically part of their
company, so they may not mind putting

521
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:28.360
him over. They're never going to
put him over. It's not out there

522
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:30.719
to be put over. It's not
his role on the show. How am

523
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.960
I supposed to buy into the fact
that this man has a shot when the

524
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:38.800
man who should have gone over on
Moxley on Sunday didn't. This whole fucking

525
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:44.400
thing was pointless, so Romero targeted
the bad left arm. Moxley wanted a

526
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:47.440
superplex. Romero wrenched at the arm, hit a double stomp off the top.

527
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:53.039
Moxley did eventually hit a one armed
superplex. We got a strike exchange

528
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:58.760
that followed. Romero thought he had
the upper hand until Moxley exploded out with

529
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:04.679
a cutter. Romero fought back with
the Tornado DDT into a cross armbreaker,

530
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:08.599
but mox spun out into a bulldog
choke. Romero hit a rolling arm bar

531
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:13.360
out of the corner, but Moxley
got to his feet and stomped free the

532
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:19.519
discus. Larry had followed, then
Death Rider and John Moxley yet again picks

533
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:23.320
up the wind. I sure hope
that they have got somebody good in mind

534
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:27.840
to eventually beat John Moxley in one
of these matches, and it better not

535
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.400
be fucking evil at the minion.
They better have somebody good in mind here.

536
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:36.599
They're gonna go through all these eliminators
and really build up Moxley, and

537
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:42.079
I would hope the idea is that
eventually someone will beat him and it'll be

538
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.079
a shock, and then that person
will get a title match. They're gonna

539
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.159
keep doing these. I just hope
they have somebody good in mind here at

540
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:53.360
the end of this. So from
Moxley, we go to his better half,

541
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:59.679
Renee, who is in the back
and behind her are Samoa Joe,

542
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:04.880
and she goes over to ask them
what happened out there during TV time,

543
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:08.239
and Joe said that what happened out
there is that they learned their first lesson.

544
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:15.280
They don't exist on their time.
Truly dangerous men exist on our time.

545
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:20.000
And then they walked off together.
So we shall see where that goes,

546
00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:23.920
if Joe is gonna end up swerving
this kid, or if maybe there'll

547
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.199
be some kind of partnership here.
You know, look, I said a

548
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.400
few weeks ago if they wanted to
do a trio with Joe, Shabata and

549
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:35.880
Hook, I wouldn't mind it.
I think it could be entertaining, And

550
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:37.760
as far as the Jericho stuff,
Joe may be the only thing that can

551
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:44.119
make that entertaining for me if they're
going to be involved. Don Callous came

552
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:50.119
to the ring to offer a contract
to the newest member of the Don Kallis

553
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.280
family. Got in the ring obviously
got a ton of heat as he always

554
00:41:53.320 --> 00:42:00.559
does here, he announced that Orange
Cassidy come on out. Says that when

555
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:05.760
he sees Orange, he sees himself. Ex Caliber said. The last person

556
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:07.679
to be booed this laud in the
key of for him was Larry Bird.

557
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:14.760
Cassidy came to the ring and Callous
said that this was the moment that everybody's

558
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:19.440
been waiting for. And he called
Cassidy a star in this industry. And

559
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:25.239
he presented him with a contract to
join the Don Callous femme, and he

560
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:29.599
said, look, I even already
filled it all out for you. So

561
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:35.440
Cassidy took the contract and he very
slowly ripped it in half. As Callous

562
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:38.960
picked up the pieces, Cassidy simply
said no, went to go leave,

563
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:45.360
and Callous spun him around, said, nobody says no to me. That

564
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:50.000
might have been what got him in
trouble in TNA anyway. Cassidy took his

565
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.360
glasses off before Stokely Hathaway and Chris
Statlander. They walked out on stage,

566
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:59.599
walked out from the back. Hathaway
said there's nothing about Cassidy that he likes.

567
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:04.159
He's just like Willow Nightingale, and
Statlanders said that on behalf of her

568
00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:09.559
best friend. He happily accepts Callous's
offer to join the Don Callis family.

569
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:14.559
What does he mean by that?
Or what does she mean by that?

570
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:16.679
Stokely had already spoken what did she
mean by that? Well, they cut

571
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:21.519
back to the ring and in the
corner behind them, behind Cassidy in the

572
00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:23.880
corner, I think he was I
don't know if it was a suit,

573
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:30.920
but he was all dressed up.
But it was Trent Bretta. This is

574
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:37.880
my that's my shocked face there.
I've only been saying it probably everybody's been

575
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.039
saying it for a month now.
It's not like you couldn't see this coming.

576
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:47.440
But there he is. There's Trent
Burretta, and he ends up attacking,

577
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:54.039
violently attacking Orange. Cassidy laid him
out. Burretta busted him open from

578
00:43:54.079 --> 00:44:00.519
the forehead, kept screaming I hate
you, I hate you, or holding

579
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:04.280
his arms open. Don Callous is
in the corner acting scared like he doesn't

580
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:07.039
know what's going on here. But
Trent puts his arms out and they do

581
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:09.880
the hug. And they even did
the camera zoom out when they did the

582
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:20.119
hug. So Trent Barretta it's now
officially a member of the Don Callous family.

583
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.719
It was predictable, but it was
the right move to make. If

584
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:29.000
you're Trent barretta, you're very happy
that you are in this role. And

585
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:31.559
I say that not because all the
members of the Don Kallis family have gone

586
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:37.719
on to much bigger and better things. Have they really know they have it?

587
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.360
Sammy Guvara thing didn't work out very
well. Kyle Fletcher is part of

588
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.159
the family, but what has that
really done for him? Takeshta joined with

589
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:50.079
Don Callous. I actually think it's
a good role for him to be in

590
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:53.360
because Callous. I think Takeshta as
a heel should have a manager anyway.

591
00:44:53.400 --> 00:45:00.360
But has that done wonders for Takeshka's
career not exactly ubs before he got hurt.

592
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:06.280
Nope. So it's not like it's
really benefiting anybody except Don Callous.

593
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:10.239
Don Challas is getting more television time
than the people he represents. So I'm

594
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.719
not saying this is going to be
some kind of game changer for Trent Boretta,

595
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:16.039
like, oh boy, this is
going to turn his career around.

596
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:20.559
But where would he be if he
was not going to be part of the

597
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.599
Callous family. He'd be making an
appearance every now and then on rampage and

598
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:28.320
he'd probably end up on the Ring
of honor roster. So if you're Trentperetta,

599
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:31.280
this is not the worst spot for
you to be in. It may

600
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:35.159
not be the best spot, but
it's certainly not the worst. But I

601
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:38.519
think everybody, nobody expected Orange Cassidy
to actually accept and be part of the

602
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:44.079
don Kallis family, so they went
by the book with it. But you

603
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:46.920
know, I thought it was the
right call to make. Then we had

604
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:52.480
Mercedes Monet, the brand new TBS
champion, defending her title for the first

605
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:58.400
time and in her Dynamite in ring
debut one on one with Sky Blue.

606
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.840
Mercedes avoided the early charge by Blue, fired off some corner forearms, and

607
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:08.719
she hit the springing arm drag that
she does. Blue got sent outside with

608
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:14.320
a pair of head scissors metiora by
Mercedes off the apron to the floor.

609
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:20.280
Sky Blue fired off a kick between
the ropes and a draping neck breaker.

610
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:23.800
Then to gain control heading into the
picture and picture, Mercedes battled back with

611
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:30.000
the sunset flip meteora for two.
The backstabber connected money, though took long

612
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:31.960
and Blue took too long, and
Blue cut her off in the corner with

613
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:38.199
the cheky nandos kick. Mercedes dodged
the TKO which hit at the beginning of

614
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:42.840
the show, but it did not
hit here. Both ladies traded thrust kicks.

615
00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:45.639
Sky Blue wanted her Code Blue finished, but when she jumped up onto

616
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:52.639
Mercedes back, Mercedes countered into the
monet maker her finish for the win.

617
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:59.800
After the match, she's in the
ring and she raises the TBS title high

618
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.440
bad when all of a sudden we
hear theme music and I don't recognize whose

619
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:07.679
music it is, but then I
see outlocks Stephanie va Kerr, as I

620
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:13.719
said before, the reigning CMLO Women's
World Champion, and she also had the

621
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:20.079
new Japan Strong Women's Championship. She
walks out on stage. Both ladies hold

622
00:47:20.119 --> 00:47:24.519
up their respective titles. Clearly the
match for Forbidden Door is upon us.

623
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:30.239
It will be Mercedes and Stephanie Vaker
on June thirtieth at the UBS Arena.

624
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.119
That's a great one. That's a
great addition there for that car. The

625
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.960
only question that I would have is
whether or not their respective titles are going

626
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:44.079
to be on the line. They
haven't announced that yet. Is it going

627
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:46.199
to be we know it's going to
be champion against champion. Is it going

628
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:52.000
to be title for title? The
new Japan Strong Women's title was supposed to

629
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:54.320
be in the hands of Mercedes Monnet
last year. She was the one who

630
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:59.079
was supposed to be the first ever
champion, had she not gotten hurt.

631
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.480
Soon she got hurt, they called
an audible Willow won the belt. It

632
00:48:02.480 --> 00:48:07.719
would not surprise me to see her
win that title. So if it's champion

633
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.920
against champion, title for title,
then I think it's a win for Mercedes,

634
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:14.679
and they probably put the belt on
her like they wanted to do a

635
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:17.800
year ago. But from what I
have seen, what I know of occur

636
00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:24.360
and obviously knowing Mercedes work this right
here is the reason why Mercedes signed with

637
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.760
AW one of the reasons why she
came to this company. It's to be

638
00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:31.039
able to work matches like this.
It's to be able to go to Japan

639
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:34.920
to work if she wants to.
It's to be able to have the freedom

640
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:38.199
that she felt like she would not
have in WWA. It's matches like this,

641
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:43.000
so that is a great addition to
that card. You're gonna do a

642
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:45.199
forbidden door card. That's the kind
of match that you do. The match

643
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:51.639
itself here with Mercedes and sky Blue
relatively quick. It was competitive, but

644
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:55.440
it was only about six minutes.
Yeah, maybe seven minutes. After getting

645
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:59.239
nothing from this woman for the first
two months. Again, I will not

646
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.559
complain about her wrestling and defending her
title on TV. We need to see

647
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:06.119
more of it. You're the TBS
champion. You should be defending that title

648
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:13.159
on TVs. Plain and simple.
Renee was outside the trainer's room when Stokely,

649
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:16.400
Hathaway and Chris Statlander ran her off. So Stokely took the mic and

650
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:22.639
called Willow Nightingale pathetic for being thirty
years old and still thinking that Disneyland is

651
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:27.719
a magical place. He said,
the catalyst for all this was the four

652
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:31.639
Way few weeks ago, in how
Statlander said that she desperately wanted to be

653
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:37.559
the TBS Champion and Nightingale didn't listen, but Stokely did. Says he'll always

654
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:43.239
be the shoulder to cry on.
Statlander has come back from back to back

655
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:49.400
acl tears, while bitches in the
back go home for much less, and

656
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:54.480
he's not talking about the women.
He introduced the new and improved Chris Statlander,

657
00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:58.480
who said that she did something for
herself for once, and then she

658
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:02.079
got booed for it. She said
that she's only been here as a bodyguard

659
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:06.440
for people who think that she'll just
clean up their messages. She is no

660
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:13.320
longer the protector. Everyone will need
protection from her. This is good.

661
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:16.800
This is good. The first heeled
promo here from Statlander and she looked dead

662
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.960
into the camera. She looked totally
serious, like she was about to wreck

663
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:25.000
some shit. And this is gonna
be good. It's good that they have

664
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:29.559
already set up a feud for Willow. She lost the title, and I

665
00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:32.239
know a lot of people are upset
about that. They thought that's not fair,

666
00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:37.880
she deserved a longer run. Well, life's not fair. And when

667
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.880
you're Tony Kahan and you spend a
gazillion dollars to sign all of these free

668
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:45.000
agents, you don't debut them and
beat them. Look at the way they

669
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:50.239
protected Okada, Look at the way
he protects Osprey. Of course he was

670
00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:52.880
going to protect Mercedes and not beat
her in her first match. Should have

671
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.320
seen that coming Sunday, should not
have been a surprise. I thought that

672
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:00.000
they actually protected Willow by giving her
the visual pin in that match. If

673
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:04.480
you remember she had the three count, but there was no referee, so

674
00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:07.159
they did what they could to protect
her. But now when somebody loses the

675
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:14.280
title or somebody drops out of the
title picture, and this goes for WWE

676
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:17.719
as well, not just AW,
there is a tendency to get lost in

677
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:22.480
the shuffle, and they just don't
focus their attention as much on those women's

678
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.440
undercard feuds. It's just not a
priority usually for them. The fact that

679
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.639
she already has a feud set up
when they bring her back, I assume

680
00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.960
in the next few weeks is good
for her. And I'm looking forward to

681
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:35.599
seeing Willow in stat Lander one on
one. I think that's going to be

682
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:38.840
a great match, should be a
good feud. And this was a good

683
00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:44.639
promo. Here we had footage of
Mjf's return at Double or Nothing, a

684
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:51.440
whole video package narrated by a female
that was not identified, but had highlights

685
00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:55.360
of what we saw on Sunday mixed
in with highlights of really milestones from throughout

686
00:51:55.440 --> 00:52:00.360
his career. I thought it was
an excellent little history package on him.

687
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:04.119
It would have been better to have
him on the show, but at least

688
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:07.679
they gave us this. And again
they're promoting his return for next week's show.

689
00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:14.960
Then we had the Elite out to
the ring, the Young Bucks,

690
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:21.599
Kazushka, Okada, Jack Perry to
address the TNT title situation with Adam Copeland

691
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:28.000
being out with what ex Caliber said
was a fractured ankle for those who didn't

692
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:31.880
hear it from Copeland himself, it's
a fractured tibia. So the Bucks came

693
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:37.079
out first, they flipped the coin, and then out came Okada, then

694
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:42.840
Jack Perry. Some fans were chanting
for CM Punk and the first thing that

695
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.719
Okada did he took the mic and
he said, shut up, bitches.

696
00:52:45.719 --> 00:52:52.719
Fantastic, fantastic. How can you
not love this man? He's adapted very

697
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:55.679
well. He looked like he was
having a ball on Sunday. He had

698
00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:00.199
that sign the anarchy in the arena. They have all kinds of garbage and

699
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:05.480
plunder everywhere, and he has that
sign rain Maker Drive. It's like a

700
00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:07.719
still shot of him holding the sign
up, big fat, cheesy smile on

701
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:14.800
his face. He's enjoying himself.
So then Jack Perry got on the mic

702
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:19.880
and he said that the Elite run
this shit. He said he got set

703
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.800
on fire on Sunday and took his
piece of the dragon when he pinned one

704
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:29.039
of the greatest of all time in
Brian Danielson. Nick Jackson said that on

705
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:35.639
Monday, they released the Rebock pump. So the story behind this the young

706
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:37.840
Bucks have a shoe deal. They
came out with a version of the Rebock

707
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:42.960
pump because when they were younger,
the pumps were all the rage. When

708
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.519
I was younger, I had a
Rebock pump. I think it was Rebud.

709
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.719
Maybe it wasn't Rebod. Maybe it
was a different brand. Uh,

710
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:51.559
you know what, I think it
was a different brand. Oh it was

711
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:53.280
La Gear or am I thinking?
No? I think I'm thinking of the

712
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:59.159
light up shoe. It was all
about gimmicks back then. I definitely had

713
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:01.800
the La Gear Life shoe. But
pumps were a thing. They're supposed to

714
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:06.760
make you jump higher, right.
I couldn't jump any higher. You know.

715
00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:08.960
I'd be at school on the basketball
court playing other kids at school.

716
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:12.280
Maybe because I was the white guy. I don't know, I can't jump.

717
00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:14.519
I'm trying to jump high. I'm
pump pump, pump. I'm like

718
00:54:14.599 --> 00:54:16.199
John Cena. Didn't work for me. But they were cool. They were

719
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:21.400
a gimmick and they were like one
hundred and twenty bucks. So anyway,

720
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:24.119
they have their own pump. They're
very excited about this, and they said

721
00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:29.840
that it dropped on Monday and it
became the hottest selling rebox sneaker in multiple

722
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:34.880
years. And he said, you
know that performance by the other members of

723
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:38.320
the Elite, their fellow members on
Sunday and anarchy in the arena was unbelievable.

724
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:46.440
And so he and his brother Matthew, they came here tonight bearing gifts

725
00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:52.519
for Okada and for Jack Perry.
So they directed Okada's attention to the big

726
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:59.400
screen, where they showed a black
Lambeau. They had a Lamborghini pull into

727
00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:05.360
the park working lot outside and it
had a rain Maker license plate on it.

728
00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:08.039
They cut back to Okata in the
ring. He has this. He's

729
00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:13.480
looking up like he's mystified. He's
he's just at a loss for words.

730
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:17.199
He's dumbfounded by this. He starts
fake crying. He puts you know,

731
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.559
he puts his hand over his face. He's fake crying, all emotional.

732
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:24.199
He goes, I forgot what,
well, God, what did he say.

733
00:55:24.199 --> 00:55:28.599
He's like, uh, I forgot
exactly what he said, But like

734
00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:31.599
he was, he was selling it. And then Nick Jackson got on the

735
00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:35.960
mic and he led the crowd they
chanted it too, and you deserve it.

736
00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:40.400
Chant So now everybody is chanting you
deserve it at him. So then

737
00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:46.840
Matt turned his attention to Adam Copeland
and he said that he can't help but

738
00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:52.039
feel responsible for what happened to him
because on Sunday, when he saw him

739
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:55.639
in the back before his match,
he told him to go out there and

740
00:55:55.920 --> 00:56:00.400
break a leg. Oh is this
a yes, that's what he said.

741
00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:07.079
That's what Okada said. He goes, is this a dream? Fucking great

742
00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:12.360
man? Okada is fantastic. Bringing
him in as a heel in the way

743
00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:15.719
that he did is actually one of
the best booking decisions that Tony Khan has

744
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:21.000
ever made. It was bringing in
Sting and pairing him up with Darby Allen

745
00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:24.559
and bringing in Okada as a heel
two of my favorite decisions that he ever

746
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:30.039
made. So Matt says, yeah, I told Copeland on Sunday to break

747
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:34.000
a leg, so I kind of
feel responsible. He said, Look,

748
00:56:34.039 --> 00:56:37.360
I'm thinking about you and we are
praying for you, and then he announced

749
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:45.199
that Copeland was hereby stripped of the
TNT Championship. So at least they're not

750
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:49.280
doing some interim title nonsense. I
was worried that Tony Khan was going to

751
00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:52.000
get on an interim title kick again, and god, he's not doing that.

752
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.880
That would have been terrible. And
he said, since the network is

753
00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:01.800
on their ass about crowning a new
champion, he had just the guy in

754
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:07.559
mind. So Okada already got his
gift. Now it was time for Jack

755
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:10.320
Perry to get his. He said, after his pinfall win and anarchy in

756
00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:17.719
the arena, Jack Perry, the
scapegoat, is the brand new TNT Champion.

757
00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:25.679
But wait, not so fast.
Christopher Daniels, who was fired a

758
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:30.639
few weeks ago by the Elite,
he comes out on the ramp and he

759
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:36.079
claims that the severance package that you
guys offered me, which was like thirty

760
00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:40.440
days, he goes, I don't
need it because Tony Khan has made me

761
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:45.360
a temporary EVP. And when I
make an announcement, you know that it's

762
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:50.320
coming from Tony Khan. And he
said, Jack Perry, if you want

763
00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:52.639
to be the TNT Champion, you're
gonna have to earn it. And so

764
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:57.880
he announced that there are going to
be a series of qualifying matches are going

765
00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:01.079
to be taking place on television here
in these next few weeks to decide who

766
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:07.320
goes on to Forbidden Door to challenge
for the right to call themselves the TNT

767
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:13.159
Champion because the title is now vacant, and they will meet at Forbidden Door

768
00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:19.440
in a ladder match. Of course, everybody cheers the announcement. He also

769
00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:22.800
said that in these qualifying matches there
will be no seconds, meaning no managers,

770
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:27.880
no bodyguards or anything like that.
There would be no outside interference,

771
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:35.559
and the qualifying matches will begin taking
place on Friday night. Dynamite right here

772
00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:38.000
in Los Angeles scared the shit out
of me. I said, not another

773
00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:45.880
show, no, no, please, please, we have enough. I

774
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:50.000
have enough shows to watch during the
week. I can't take another one.

775
00:58:50.639 --> 00:58:52.880
I'm gonna after what happened last night, I'm gonna have to start more consistently

776
00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:55.960
watching NXT again. Now, my
last thing I need is another episode of

777
00:58:57.039 --> 00:59:00.800
Dynamite. So you had one job, Daniels, you had one job,

778
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:06.920
night one, and you couldn't even
get it right. So the elite initially

779
00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:09.840
we're very upset by this announcement,
and they said that we're gonna go tell

780
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:14.519
you to your face how proud we
are to have you back. But then

781
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:17.800
the acclaims music hit out comes,
the Acclaimed in Billy Gunn, and they

782
00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:22.599
stood next to Daniels, and so
the elite thought better of doing anything about

783
00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:29.480
it. I actually like Christopher Daniels
as Tony Kahan surrogate here. I think

784
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:32.880
it's a smart move. Tony Khan
is terrible in situations like this. He's

785
00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:37.079
so awkward. The last thing we
need is him coming out and screaming.

786
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:42.960
You know, we're gonna qualified matches, and the winners of the qualified matches

787
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:45.039
are gonna go on to for bidden
door, and we're gonna crown a new

788
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:52.639
TT champion. Yes, nine days, nine days, yo, we don't

789
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:55.199
need that. Christopher Daniels, he
comes out there, he's measured, he's

790
00:59:55.239 --> 01:00:00.519
like he's like the the the Adam
Pierce of Dynamite. He's it's like the

791
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:05.159
most vanilla executive, the most vanilla
looking executive. But he's composed, he

792
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:10.679
can speak, he's poised. He's
perfect for that role. So he could

793
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:15.119
be Tony Kahan's talking head. But
this was sensible, you know, as

794
01:00:15.119 --> 01:00:19.559
far as what they ended up doing
here, I thought that this was the

795
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:25.199
This was the sensible way to go
about doing this. Here's the thing.

796
01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:30.360
They had a casino gauntlet match on
this very show, So you're not gonna

797
01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:35.199
do another gauntlet In a few weeks. We're gonna get qualifying matches for the

798
01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:39.119
Owen the men's and women's Own Heart
tournaments. And I know Tony Kahn loves

799
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:43.920
his tournaments, but you don't want
to do another tournament this close to two

800
01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:46.320
tournaments that are about to kick off. So what do you do? My

801
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:52.159
thought was, you have qualifying matches
on TV, and you send the winners

802
01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:57.920
of those qualifying matches to forbidden Door
for a fatal four way match. What

803
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:01.039
they did was or less the same
thing. Instead of a fatal four way,

804
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:06.079
it's a ladder match, and that
makes sense. Hang a ladder from

805
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:08.000
the ceiling. I don't know how
many people we're talking about here. It

806
01:01:08.039 --> 01:01:12.239
really shouldn't be more than four.
I don't know if there'll be four people,

807
01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:15.960
six people, but I think it's
the right thing to do. It

808
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:19.840
actually makes sense. And I like
the fact that the qualifying matches apparently they're

809
01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:27.239
contesting them under Continental Classic rules,
no outside interference, no managers allowed at

810
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:30.480
ringside, So I like that aspect
of it too, So I think in

811
01:01:30.559 --> 01:01:36.360
terms of how they're handling the situation, which is unfortunate. It was completely

812
01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:42.159
avoidable. It was completely avoidable,
but it happened, you know. Look,

813
01:01:42.199 --> 01:01:45.320
it happened, and I wish him
well. Hopefully he'll be back soon,

814
01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:51.199
and hopefully it's a lesson learned for
everybody not to jump feet first from

815
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:54.639
the top of a fucking cage.
But nonetheless, you make the best of

816
01:01:54.679 --> 01:01:58.519
a bad situation, and I thought
they did what they had to do.

817
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:02.000
I still think that Jack Perry is
going to end up with the TNT title,

818
01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:05.960
but I also don't know who the
other members of the ladder match are

819
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:10.039
going to be. We're assuming Perry
qualifies, which I'm sure he will.

820
01:02:10.199 --> 01:02:15.199
We know the first qualifier happens on
Rampage, not Dynamite on Friday night.

821
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:21.679
It's Takeshta one on one against Penta. My guess is Takeshna will go on,

822
01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:23.920
and look, I wouldn't mind him
winning either, but I still feel

823
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:27.280
like in the end, it's going
to be Jack Perry getting that title.

824
01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:30.800
If it's not Jack Perry, it
would be another babyface. I don't think

825
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:32.639
it's going to be Takeshta. I
don't think it's going to be another heel.

826
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:36.599
If it's a heel, I think
it's Perry. If it's a babyface,

827
01:02:36.639 --> 01:02:38.760
then who knows. We don't know
who else is going to be in

828
01:02:38.800 --> 01:02:40.639
the tournament, But if it's going
to be a heel, it's going to

829
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:46.599
be Jack Perry Swerve. Strickland was
in the back with Prince Nana and Swerve

830
01:02:46.639 --> 01:02:51.800
said that he took down another legend
to double or Nothing and he returned the

831
01:02:51.840 --> 01:02:55.000
favor to kill Switch earlier tonight.
He said he's looking at some competitors for

832
01:02:55.039 --> 01:03:00.519
the upcoming main event and there are
some surprises and he is wondering who will

833
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:07.199
be next to step foot into Swerve's
house. That led to our main event,

834
01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:10.880
which was the best part of the
entire show, which was the Casino

835
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:15.199
Gauntlet match, only the second one
that they have ever done and the second

836
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:21.199
one in as many months that they
have done to determine the number one contender

837
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:25.199
for the AEW World Heavyweight Title at
Forbidden Door on June thirtieth. This was

838
01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:30.440
a hell of a match. Switchblade
J White came out at number one to

839
01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:37.079
kick off the gauntlet, and guess
who was number two. Pack, that's

840
01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:38.440
the match. I wanted a double
or nothing. That's the match. I

841
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:42.159
thought, well, maybe we can
get it in the Owen. Well we

842
01:03:42.239 --> 01:03:45.880
got it here. They kicked off
the gauntlet. Pack wasted no time in

843
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:50.559
seeking revenge for what happened at the
pay per view. Jay got off one

844
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:58.239
move, one offensive maneuver before Mystico
came out at number three from CMLL.

845
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:02.519
That was the first surprise. We
got a quick sequence with Pack and Mystico

846
01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:05.960
that sent him to the floor with
White, Mystico hit a dive from the

847
01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:10.519
top, taking both men out.
That took us into the commercial break.

848
01:04:11.239 --> 01:04:15.840
Will Osprey was in at number four. This was also a surprise. I

849
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:17.320
was not expecting him to be in
this match, and even when I saw

850
01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:19.880
him, I didn't automatically think,
oh my god, he's going to win.

851
01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:23.039
I was like, I wonder how
they're going to get out of this.

852
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:27.480
But then I remembered it's only one
fault to a finish in the Gauntlet,

853
01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:30.280
so it's like, all right,
well he's in the Gauntlet. He's

854
01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:33.119
not going to be pinned, but
he's not going to win. I still

855
01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:36.440
was not like the idea of him
being the one to go to forbidden door.

856
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:41.760
It just never crossed my mind as
being realistic. So even when I

857
01:04:41.800 --> 01:04:45.039
saw him and the reaction he got
and everything, and he's had all this

858
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:47.760
momentum, I still didn't think he
was actually going to go over and win

859
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:51.760
this man. But he came out
and you should have heard this crowd.

860
01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:56.559
I mean, this crowd was on
faia for this man. When he came

861
01:04:56.599 --> 01:05:00.840
out. They reacted bigger to him
than anybody else, and everybody just about

862
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:03.519
in this match got a huge reaction. There were a lot of people who

863
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:06.679
got great reactions from the crowd in
this match. But if you want to

864
01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:13.320
know what separates Will Osprey from everybody
else that was in this match, listen

865
01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:16.079
to this crowd and frankly the crowds
on most weeks when he comes out on

866
01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:23.159
TV. I mean, he's super
over. You can't deny that. So

867
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:29.760
he gets inside immediately hits Pip Pip
cheerio on Mystico before an intense face off

868
01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:32.880
with Jay White. There's history there
between them. He hit the corkscrew kick,

869
01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:36.320
but Pack nearly slid in and stole
the pin attempt on a roll up

870
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:41.800
for two. Pack and Osprey had
a face off and Mistico flew in off

871
01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:46.639
the top hit a La mystica on
Osprey before Osprey could tap out. Though

872
01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:55.360
Shota Umi Noo Shooter from New Japan
Pro Wrestling entered at number five. He

873
01:05:55.440 --> 01:06:00.880
got chance of Shooter. You know, you gotta be careful chanting that in

874
01:06:00.920 --> 01:06:02.760
a crowd here in this country.
Unfortunately, I mean, that might be

875
01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:09.440
okay over in Japan, but you
start shouting Shooter here in a crowd in

876
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:15.039
America, and unfortunately it has a
very different meeting. So Umino slugged it

877
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:18.119
out with Misty Go. There was
an amazingly quick sequence here with Osprey and

878
01:06:18.239 --> 01:06:24.880
Umino, who hit a series of
slingshot ddts for two. Claudio Castignoli was

879
01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:29.400
in at number six and Jay White
ran for higher ground. He was grabbing

880
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:33.519
dudes and throwing him in the way, trying to avoid Claudio at all costs,

881
01:06:34.199 --> 01:06:39.800
but eventually Claudio caught up to him, got him in the giant swing,

882
01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:42.400
and then they went to a break. In the middle of the giant

883
01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:45.239
swing, they went to a commercial
break. But during the break, I

884
01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:49.679
mean he gave swings that everybody almost
swung the referee. He was going nuts.

885
01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:56.519
In at number seven, we got
another surprise, Leo Rush. It's

886
01:06:56.519 --> 01:07:00.320
been a while since we've seen Leo
Rush in an aw ring. He had

887
01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:03.480
a very brief run, might have
been a couple of runs, but I

888
01:07:03.559 --> 01:07:09.400
haven't seen him in a while.
So he came out and he just lightning

889
01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:13.320
quick, which which got over big
with the crowd, because you can't catch

890
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:15.079
this guy. No matter what Claudio
tried to do, he couldn't. He

891
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:23.719
couldn't get his hands on him.
Rushe and Uh or not Rush? Who

892
01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:25.679
was it? Was it White?
I don't remember who it was, but

893
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:28.880
it was Umino. They were trading. Oh it was uh Uh, I

894
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:33.239
said, Ruche, It was right, Leo Rush wrote, I wrote Rush

895
01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:38.000
in my notes, and I'm thinking
Rush because there was a segment earlier that

896
01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:41.840
I mentioned in the back where Rushe
she called out MJF basically and said,

897
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:44.079
you know, when you mess with
the bull, you get the Herns.

898
01:07:44.599 --> 01:07:48.360
So anyway, Uh, Leo and
Umino they traded misdirect attempts. Both got

899
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:56.079
mowed down though by Claudio, who
stood tall before Number eight made his way

900
01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:59.800
out. Orange Cassidy. This fucking
guy, it doesn't matter what happens to

901
01:07:59.880 --> 01:08:02.360
him. Him. He got busted
open. Earlier in the show. Here

902
01:08:02.400 --> 01:08:09.079
he comes. He's back, so
down to the ring he comes. Cassidy

903
01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:13.239
blocked the supplex into a stun dog
Millionaire and then hit a spin spinning DDT

904
01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:17.760
to Claudio as Cassidy stumbled, Osprey
wound up for a hidden blade, but

905
01:08:17.840 --> 01:08:24.359
he hesitated. White flew in with
a sleeper supplex and a uranagi as Cassidy

906
01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:29.479
fought off Blade Runner. Atchacero entered
at number nine. I know there's quite

907
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:32.359
a few fans of Etcha Sro.
I keep hearing a lot of good things

908
01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:39.199
about et Ga Sro. So he
ran wild with a wheelbarrow on Osprey before

909
01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:42.920
nearly rolling up Will for a two
count. Mistico cut him off with the

910
01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:46.720
top rope. Hurric Conrana Umino hit
a pumpny on Cassidy, who responded with

911
01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:51.359
an orange punch. Meanwhile, Pack
tried for the black Arrow on Jay White,

912
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:56.600
but just like a double or nothing, Juice Robinson comes out and Juice

913
01:08:56.680 --> 01:09:03.640
Robinson crotches this man on the top
robe. Poor pac Man, this guy

914
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:11.239
just can't catch a break. So
then Juice ranoff. Jay wanted blade Runner

915
01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:15.520
on Cassidy, but Ospray flew in
with the hidden blade the storm breaker attempt

916
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:19.960
got countered by Cassidy into a snap
Rana for two, but Ospray answered with

917
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:27.800
the Oscutter to finally win the match, and will Ospray wins his second straight

918
01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:31.800
Casino Gauntlet back to back months.
This man has won Gauntlet matches to earn

919
01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:36.640
the right to challenge for a title. The first one he ended up winning

920
01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:42.600
the title. Now he gets to
challenge for the AW World Heavyweight title at

921
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:45.399
Forbidden Door. After the match swerved, Strickland walked out from the back with

922
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:49.800
Prentonana and he had a face off
with Ospray to close out the show.

923
01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:56.840
This was a whirlwind, twenty minute
main event, plenty of surprise entrance.

924
01:09:56.920 --> 01:10:00.319
The crowd was on fire for the
entire thing. It felt like a print,

925
01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:03.279
but it went twenty one minutes.
It's not like it was all that

926
01:10:03.439 --> 01:10:09.319
quick. They ended up having about
nine people in this thing. Osprey wins

927
01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:13.720
the Gauntlet and now we are going
into Forbidden Door in a matter of weeks

928
01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:16.239
and in a month basically, right, it's May twenty ninth, or now

929
01:10:16.279 --> 01:10:18.760
it's May thirtieth officially, right,
what time is it now? It's almost

930
01:10:18.840 --> 01:10:24.000
May thirtieth, so we're one month
away here from Forbidden Door, and I

931
01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:28.880
was not expecting to get this match
this upcoming month. I looked at this

932
01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:31.840
and I said, there's your Wembley
Stadium main event. Now it is possible

933
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:35.119
that it could still be the Wembley
main event, right, I mean,

934
01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:40.359
who who's to say that they don't
run it back for a second time.

935
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:43.880
You know, maybe the finish they
do it for Bidden Door necessitates or rematch.

936
01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:47.000
It just doesn't feel very likely to
me though, So it makes me

937
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:49.880
wonder, why is Tony Kahn doing
the match now? Why is he giving

938
01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:54.319
this match away? Now? This
man just won the international title. Now,

939
01:10:54.359 --> 01:10:57.319
I said, going into double or
nothing. Him winning the international title

940
01:10:57.359 --> 01:11:00.479
does not prevent him from going to
Wembley and challenging for the world time.

941
01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:08.239
But I also wasn't expecting the very
first show after he wins the international title

942
01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:14.000
that they're basically pulling a Cody Rhoades
Logan Paul and they're doing Champion against Champion

943
01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:15.920
at Forbidden Door. Now they have
not said that it's going to be title

944
01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:20.119
for title. I mean Cody Logan
ended up not being titled for title.

945
01:11:20.159 --> 01:11:24.760
They wanted you to think that it
was. That would have been very dumb,

946
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:30.119
and I can't say that I would
necessarily want to see it here either.

947
01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:32.239
I just you know, again,
if Will was going to win the

948
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:36.960
title, Wembley would be the place
for it. So I don't see will

949
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:42.760
Ospury winning this match. So it
just makes me wonder how are they going

950
01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:45.520
to go about doing it. Maybe
they will have some kind of a fluky

951
01:11:45.560 --> 01:11:48.840
finish, you know, to necessitate
a rematch. Maybe maybe that is the

952
01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:54.039
direction, or maybe they're doing this
match now. The plan is not yet

953
01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:57.920
to put the title on Ospring.
And maybe MJF is going to get a

954
01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:00.640
match with Swerve. Remember they tease
that match last year before MJF got hurt

955
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:03.800
and had the match with Joe.
They had that backstage interaction to two of

956
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:08.520
them. They have that great promo
segment in the back. Maybe we're finally

957
01:12:08.520 --> 01:12:13.159
going to get MJF and Swerve for
the world title at Wembley Stadium. Maybe

958
01:12:13.199 --> 01:12:15.279
Hangman is going to come back and
we're going to get Swerve and Hangman,

959
01:12:15.359 --> 01:12:20.840
but this time in a stadium.
How can they not run that match back

960
01:12:20.880 --> 01:12:25.039
one more time? You know,
now that Swerve is the champion, it's

961
01:12:25.079 --> 01:12:28.439
the first thing that Hangman should want
when he comes back. All of a

962
01:12:28.479 --> 01:12:30.439
sudden, Swerve has a few different
options for who he can step into the

963
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:35.439
ring with in August, but August
is still very far off. Right now,

964
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:41.239
we're focused on Forbidden Door and whatever
his motivations are for doing it now

965
01:12:41.279 --> 01:12:45.439
and not later, it's going to
be a fucking great match. That match

966
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:48.319
alone makes that a mussy show.
So all of a sudden, we don't

967
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:51.239
even have a full card yet.
We don't know exactly who is and isn't

968
01:12:51.239 --> 01:12:55.680
going to be on there, but
we know that Swerve and Osprey is your

969
01:12:55.720 --> 01:13:00.479
main event, and thank god it's
not Tanahashi. We've got Mercedes against Stephanie

970
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:03.359
v. Kerr, which is going
to be a great match. We're already

971
01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:06.239
off to a great start here.
I'm already looking forward to the show.

972
01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:11.720
The Forbidden Door concept feels kind of
tired, and I can't say that my

973
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.560
excitement level, you know, going
into it was terribly high. But even

974
01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:19.479
just with these first two matches,
like I'm ready to go, Like this

975
01:13:19.520 --> 01:13:24.000
is a show now that I'm looking
forward to already, and we're still a

976
01:13:24.039 --> 01:13:27.920
month out, and that's a good
thing. So that's what I'm focused on.

977
01:13:28.359 --> 01:13:30.560
I'm getting the match that I wanted. It just wasn't where I wanted

978
01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:35.560
it or where I thought it would
take place. But where where Swerve goes

979
01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:39.920
from here is going to be very
interesting because Osprey is by far the most

980
01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:45.079
over babyfaces with the potential exception of
MJF, you know, in the entire

981
01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:48.399
company. And I've been saying,
you know, Swerve is new in this

982
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:51.439
role and he needs all the support
and all the help he can get.

983
01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:58.560
So now he's going to go in
there, and what is the crowd reaction

984
01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:01.319
going to be? Like? Yeah, that first promo segment that we get

985
01:14:01.439 --> 01:14:05.119
in these next few weeks where these
two men face to face on TV,

986
01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:11.920
that's going to be a very interesting
experiment of sorts to see how the crowd

987
01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:15.079
reacts to that. But it kind
of goes back to something I talked about

988
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:19.199
on TNT actually with JD last night. We talked about a lot of things

989
01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:23.720
on the show last night on his
channel. One of the things that I

990
01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:29.960
mentioned when I was talking about Swerve
is I likened what I would like to

991
01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:33.119
see now that they're getting some guys
back, right Cole. I don't know

992
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:38.039
when Cole's going to wrestle, but
they got MJF back, you got MJF,

993
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:41.319
you got Osprey, you got Swerve. Who knows who else may be

994
01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:45.960
going after the world title, maybe
Hangman. One of my favorite periods in

995
01:14:46.039 --> 01:14:51.000
wrestling was the end of ninety six
into the beginning of ninety seven in WWE,

996
01:14:51.880 --> 01:14:57.319
when you had this group of about
four to five guys who all hated

997
01:14:57.359 --> 01:15:01.439
each other and all had one common
goal in mind. They wanted to be

998
01:15:01.520 --> 01:15:08.600
the world champion. Brett Hart,
Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Steve Austin,

999
01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:13.520
Psycho Sid Right, that's five.
You could probably even throw Vader in there.

1000
01:15:13.560 --> 01:15:17.800
Honestly, that would be six.
But you had that collection of guys

1001
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:23.000
and they were dead serious. It
wasn't like anything was played at for comedy,

1002
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:26.359
but it all revolved around the title, and you had all these names

1003
01:15:26.359 --> 01:15:30.600
in the main events scene. If
we end up with something like that in

1004
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:34.199
AW that's what I want to see. I don't want just okay, Well,

1005
01:15:34.279 --> 01:15:39.119
the feud of the Month that was
gonna be Swerve and Christian, or

1006
01:15:39.159 --> 01:15:42.560
the fear of the month that was
gonna be Swerve and whoever his opponent is

1007
01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:45.840
going to be at Forbidden Door.
Let's get four guys. Let's just say,

1008
01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:48.920
at the top of the card,
who could conceivably be world champion?

1009
01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:53.439
Will all want to be world champion. We're all fucking with each other.

1010
01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:56.640
They're cutting promos on each other,
right, They're going balls to the wall

1011
01:15:57.399 --> 01:16:00.600
like that. That to me makes
it more fun. The more are top

1012
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:03.680
names in that mix, actively in
that mix that you can have for that

1013
01:16:03.720 --> 01:16:09.760
world title, the more fun it
is going to be. Now that they

1014
01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:14.159
got MJF back and hopefully they'll get
more people back soon. I would love

1015
01:16:14.199 --> 01:16:18.039
to see a bunch of people nipping
it swerves heels. Let him work for

1016
01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:20.159
it. You know, he's got
to go out there and he's got to

1017
01:16:20.479 --> 01:16:24.960
he's got to prove why he's the
one who belongs in that spot, right,

1018
01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:27.960
and it gives him more competition,
more opponents to be able to work

1019
01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:31.039
with. That, to me is
what would make me more interested week to

1020
01:16:31.079 --> 01:16:35.800
week in aw television if they can, if they could figure out who those

1021
01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:40.920
guys are going to be, That
to me is what would I think help

1022
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:45.039
draw people into the product. That
sort of thing, because I kind of

1023
01:16:45.079 --> 01:16:47.560
missed that, you know, where
you really felt like these guys do not

1024
01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:51.960
like each other and it just all
revolved around that top title, like it

1025
01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:57.399
was the most important thing in the
world. It's tough now because AAW has

1026
01:16:57.520 --> 01:17:00.640
so many titles, you know,
and it's just the nature of wrestling.

1027
01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:03.479
And look, WWE has a lot
of titles too. If we're going to

1028
01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:08.359
go back and compare wrestling now to
wrestling twenty five years ago, Yeah,

1029
01:17:08.399 --> 01:17:13.239
there were a lot less titles in
any company at any given moment. So

1030
01:17:13.239 --> 01:17:15.800
in AW it's hard because everybody's a
champion. You know. Ocatta's got his

1031
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:19.720
title, and then you've got the
TNT title, and Jericho's got a title,

1032
01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:24.279
and this guy's got a title,
and Ospray's got a title. Ospray's

1033
01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:28.119
wrestling for the world title and he's
already got a title, and it just

1034
01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:31.039
you know, what does it all
mean? But anyway, so that as

1035
01:17:31.079 --> 01:17:34.600
we go into the summer is the
sort of thing I'd like to see more

1036
01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:38.359
of here in this company instead of
just the you know, the typical kind

1037
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:42.079
of one on one type stuff.
Get Jay White in that mix, you

1038
01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:45.279
can free him up to do more
single stuff. I want to see Switchblade

1039
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:46.640
in the mix, man, I
mean, that's that's the kind of thing

1040
01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:51.960
I want to see. Maybe Malachi
now although Malachi lost to Copeland, it's

1041
01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:55.640
pretty clear to me. I don't
think Tony Khan wants to put gold on

1042
01:17:55.720 --> 01:17:59.439
him right now. He may have
some thought about what his future may be

1043
01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:05.279
and it may not baw so,
but anyway, I am I sure because

1044
01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:11.199
everyone will cry about who's gonna lose
or now who gives a shit? Who

1045
01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:16.039
cares? See, that's part of
the problem is that I think Tony Kahan

1046
01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:20.800
and I think Paul Levec. I
think promoters can fall into the trap of,

1047
01:18:21.760 --> 01:18:27.920
well, we have to protect everybody, and when you worry about protecting

1048
01:18:27.960 --> 01:18:32.439
everybody, you end up protecting nobody. You can't be afraid to mix it

1049
01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:35.159
up a little bit. Some guys
are gonna win, some guys are gonna

1050
01:18:35.199 --> 01:18:39.520
lose. It comes down to how
they're booked. You can lose, but

1051
01:18:39.560 --> 01:18:42.319
if you're booked in a strong way, you know you'll get out of it.

1052
01:18:42.399 --> 01:18:45.399
Okay, you'll get out of it
just fine. You can't be afraid,

1053
01:18:45.439 --> 01:18:46.239
well, you know, we can't
do this because I don't want to

1054
01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:48.520
beat that guy. And we can't
do that because I don't want to beat

1055
01:18:48.560 --> 01:18:54.079
that guy. I just was talking
about the owen Hart Tournament. It's the

1056
01:18:54.079 --> 01:18:58.159
same thing. If the owen Hart
winners this year are going on to Wembley

1057
01:18:58.199 --> 01:19:04.520
Stadium to win titleshit. I don't
want to see Dustin Rhodes in the owen

1058
01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:11.199
Hart Tournament this year. I don't
want to see Rocky Romero in the owen

1059
01:19:11.239 --> 01:19:15.640
Hart Tournament this year. I don't
want to see Kyle Fletcher in the owen

1060
01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:19.119
Hart Tournament this year. They're great
wrestlers, who cares. This is for

1061
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:25.720
a shot at the World Championship.
MJF should be in the owen Hart Tournament.

1062
01:19:26.439 --> 01:19:29.680
I was gonna say will Osprey,
but he's already getting a shot at

1063
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:30.760
Forbidden Door. I don't know if
he'll be in the tournament or not,

1064
01:19:31.119 --> 01:19:34.399
but MJF should be in the tournament. If he's back by then, Hangman

1065
01:19:34.479 --> 01:19:39.960
should be in the tournament. Samoa
Joe should be in the tournament. Former

1066
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:45.239
aw world champion. Fill that tournament
up with big names who are worthy and

1067
01:19:45.359 --> 01:19:48.039
believable. You can believe that,
hey, they might go to the main

1068
01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:53.399
event at Wembley Stadium. Some of
these guys they put in these tournaments,

1069
01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:57.600
it's like, you fucking know,
It's like in the Royal Rumble when Santino

1070
01:19:57.640 --> 01:20:00.840
Morella comes out at number twenty two, it's Santina gonna go on to win

1071
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:03.479
the Royal Rumble. Fuck, no
he's not. And I used to think,

1072
01:20:03.600 --> 01:20:08.159
why is he out there? He
was out there for comic relief.

1073
01:20:08.920 --> 01:20:13.079
To go back even further the Royal
rumbles of years past, These Virgil come

1074
01:20:13.119 --> 01:20:15.800
out. The fuck is Virgil gonna
do? He's not gonna win anything.

1075
01:20:17.119 --> 01:20:20.279
So I don't want to see people
like that in those tournaments. But you

1076
01:20:20.359 --> 01:20:25.199
can't be afraid to beat certain guys. It's okay, it's not gonna be

1077
01:20:25.239 --> 01:20:29.000
the death of them, you know. It's all in how you book it,

1078
01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:32.680
how you follow up on things.
I want to see top names in

1079
01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:36.159
that tournament. If that is what
is on the line in the tournament this

1080
01:20:36.239 --> 01:20:41.800
year, that's the sort of thing
I'm talking about. And you put those

1081
01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:45.760
matches together on television with guys like
I just mentioned, that's what I want

1082
01:20:45.760 --> 01:20:48.920
to watch. I'll be tuned in
for that. Sign me up for that.

1083
01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:55.239
So the pieces are all there for
them to have a pretty incredible summer

1084
01:20:55.319 --> 01:20:58.520
run here with all the things they
have played here in June and July heading

1085
01:20:58.520 --> 01:21:02.119
into Wembley, right the road to
Wembley could be very exciting. It all

1086
01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:05.239
comes down to Tony Kahn and what
he is willing to do and kind of

1087
01:21:05.239 --> 01:21:09.840
matches that he's willing to put together. But Swerve an Osprey a forbidden Doorman.

1088
01:21:09.960 --> 01:21:14.800
That's going to be a fantastic match
and I am very much looking forward

1089
01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:18.039
to it. Twitter Paul, what
as you think of Dynamite Tonight? From

1090
01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:25.239
the Kia Forum. Forty six percent
thumbs up for tonight's show, twenty four

1091
01:21:25.279 --> 01:21:30.000
percent thumbs in the middle, and
twenty nine percent thumbs down. Only forty

1092
01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:32.840
six percent huh thumbs up. Well, I disagree with that. This was

1093
01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:39.159
definitely a thumbs up show, definitely
more than forty six percent. But that's

1094
01:21:39.199 --> 01:21:46.760
my opinion. Chime in with yours. That's what I say about that.

1095
01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:54.239
But again, man, they mean
they have so many talented guys and big

1096
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:57.560
names on that roster and as they
start to get some of them back Omega,

1097
01:21:57.760 --> 01:22:00.119
I don't know if Kenny Omega is
going to be in time for Wembley.

1098
01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:03.439
I hope so. I would love
to see him in Okata get that

1099
01:22:03.479 --> 01:22:09.119
match into Wembley this year, but
you know it may not be realistic.

1100
01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:13.439
We'll see. But like I said, man, the pieces are all there

1101
01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:20.720
for them to have a pretty incredible
run with the owen Hart Tournament and everything

1102
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:26.920
else they have going on. We
read your super chats, thank you,

1103
01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:30.840
by the way for those. Drew
Johnson has I mean tonight he has been

1104
01:22:30.840 --> 01:22:33.239
a beast. He's dropped a bunch
of fifties. I'm gonna read through these

1105
01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:36.520
here. If you got them,
get them on in before we get out

1106
01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:43.680
of here. I will read your
messages the real CS kicking us off earlier

1107
01:22:43.760 --> 01:22:46.920
with the four ninety nine. It
seems like WWE and NXT are going to

1108
01:22:47.000 --> 01:22:51.479
be doing an invasion type angle with
Ethan Page. He posted on social media

1109
01:22:51.560 --> 01:23:00.399
saying that he isn't signed anywhere,
there's being worked. That's what he wants

1110
01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:03.600
you to think. He wants you
to think that he's a free agent.

1111
01:23:04.600 --> 01:23:10.239
They're not putting a free agent on
their television show and letting him lay out

1112
01:23:10.279 --> 01:23:14.000
their champion at the end of the
show. You got to use your head,

1113
01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:15.920
man, You gotta use your head
with these things. Come on,

1114
01:23:15.039 --> 01:23:24.680
CS, you should know better.
CS back again. I think one of

1115
01:23:24.680 --> 01:23:29.319
the main reasons why fans dislike Jericho
is that most of his gimmicks in aw

1116
01:23:29.479 --> 01:23:33.920
have been references to WWE, especially
the Jericho appreciating that's not why people don't

1117
01:23:33.960 --> 01:23:40.600
like Jericho. Uh, Carlos Galvan, somebody called nine to one one because

1118
01:23:40.640 --> 01:23:45.560
Mercedes stole my heart. Okata got
the biggest pop of the night. We'll

1119
01:23:45.640 --> 01:23:49.079
listen to the review after I get
home from the show. Wow, so

1120
01:23:49.199 --> 01:23:54.560
even more than ospar he was in
the building. It sounded like Ospray got

1121
01:23:54.560 --> 01:23:57.720
the biggest reaction of the night to
me, but Okada was up there,

1122
01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:03.039
so that's kind of surprise. Chris
AXC missed a few reviews, so I'm

1123
01:24:03.079 --> 01:24:06.520
sorry if you said this already,
But thoughts on the AJ storyline leading to

1124
01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:12.920
a match with all this to get
Nick his first WWE match. I did

1125
01:24:12.960 --> 01:24:16.600
float that as a possibility. I'm
still of the opinion that AJ is going

1126
01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:24.000
to be traded now, whether it's
to RAW or whether it's to NXT,

1127
01:24:24.760 --> 01:24:30.359
or whether he ends up in TNA
working a match in TNA. Wouldn't that

1128
01:24:30.439 --> 01:24:35.399
be something with this new found partnership
that the two companies have together. If

1129
01:24:35.439 --> 01:24:40.760
AJ Styles ended up having a match
in TNA for the first time in I

1130
01:24:40.760 --> 01:24:45.159
guess it would probably be would be
about a decade. I think that's a

1131
01:24:45.239 --> 01:24:49.159
very real possibility him wrestling all this
is possible, but it just doesn't seem

1132
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:57.920
likely right now. Oznglorious with the
ten spot really enjoyed Dynamite, especially the

1133
01:24:57.920 --> 01:25:04.159
Elite and the Battle Royal. Did
I miss something? What Battle Royal?

1134
01:25:05.079 --> 01:25:10.920
Let me tell you though, I
just can't wait for another Daniel Garcia grows

1135
01:25:11.000 --> 01:25:16.880
up and proves himself with Daddy Magic
in his Corner Slash un commentary story.

1136
01:25:17.720 --> 01:25:23.319
You know, it's a shame because
there was a time where Garcia seemed like

1137
01:25:23.319 --> 01:25:26.560
he was on the verge of breaking
out to that next level, whatever that

1138
01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:30.920
level is, and they just shit
the bed. They didn't follow through.

1139
01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:34.479
It's all about the follow through that
really is the most important part, all

1140
01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:39.000
right, Bender mcsimpson, we're caught
up to our list here. Thank you

1141
01:25:39.039 --> 01:25:42.960
for the four ninety nine. Really
good match from sky Blue and Mercedes.

1142
01:25:43.039 --> 01:25:45.359
Not sure why they blew through it
so fast. Could have been a nice

1143
01:25:45.479 --> 01:25:49.560
first feud for Mercedes. No,
I think what they did was fine.

1144
01:25:49.720 --> 01:25:54.960
Sky Blue was a fine first opponent. I don't think you're not gonna get

1145
01:25:55.000 --> 01:25:59.880
a whole feud out of it.
That's not a whole few that's a match,

1146
01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:01.600
that's a match you build up for
TV. They could have saved it

1147
01:26:01.640 --> 01:26:08.079
for next week or two weeks from
now, but this is not a pay

1148
01:26:08.119 --> 01:26:11.680
per view match. You're not gonna
build up a month of story and then

1149
01:26:11.720 --> 01:26:15.159
do it a forbidden door. You
know they're gonna be building now to Va

1150
01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:17.840
Kurr and Mercedes, so they had
to get this out of the way,

1151
01:26:18.199 --> 01:26:23.399
so I don't have an issue with
what they did tonight. Bender also says

1152
01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:28.079
Okata is the best heel in wrestling. Change my mind. It's gotta be

1153
01:26:28.239 --> 01:26:32.439
neck and neck. It's gotta be
Okata and Drew McIntyre. It's gotta be

1154
01:26:32.479 --> 01:26:35.159
I mean, I would probably go
with Drew and I love Okada. I

1155
01:26:35.159 --> 01:26:38.880
would go Drew, but it's Drew
and Okata. I think at the top

1156
01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:45.279
of the mountain right now they are
just fantastic. But Juliette with the twenty

1157
01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:49.720
five dollars super chat reports are there
may be more NXT and TNA working together

1158
01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:56.800
beyond Jordan Grace facing Roxane Perezent Battleground
also thoughts on last night's NXT surprises.

1159
01:26:57.319 --> 01:27:00.520
I think it's great. You know, gets people talking Ethan pay when he

1160
01:27:00.600 --> 01:27:05.039
left aw is someone who I said, is someone who deserves a look from

1161
01:27:05.239 --> 01:27:10.880
WWE or NXT and so I was
happy to see him pop up. And

1162
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:14.640
I think the Jordan Gray stuff is
great. Hopefully we get to see more

1163
01:27:14.680 --> 01:27:18.399
of it. I think when companies
work together and they are able to cooperate

1164
01:27:19.279 --> 01:27:24.880
or exchange talent, I think that's
great. I think that benefits everybody,

1165
01:27:25.520 --> 01:27:30.039
especially the fans. And Jordan Grace
was excellent in the Royal Rumble this year.

1166
01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:34.600
Jordan Grace looked better than everybody else, every WWE star that was in

1167
01:27:34.600 --> 01:27:40.199
the Women's Royal Rumble this year,
like she belongs there. She looks like

1168
01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:48.039
she belongs there. She just fits
right in Woody Allen's right hand man with

1169
01:27:48.199 --> 01:27:55.479
the six dollars super chat. I
Love Your Rumble twenty nineteen review and Bob

1170
01:27:55.520 --> 01:27:59.640
hollybook review. Why did it take
so long to put the macho man in

1171
01:27:59.680 --> 01:28:04.359
the Hall of Fame? Anything to
do with Stephanie, No, but just

1172
01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:11.199
pettiness, pettiness and spite on the
part of Vince McMahon. So fuck him

1173
01:28:11.239 --> 01:28:14.680
for that. You know, we
never we got deprived of a macho man

1174
01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:20.359
induction speech or I guess acceptance,
a macho man acceptance speech. You know,

1175
01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:23.920
I know his brother was there and
he did the honors, but it

1176
01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:27.760
just wasn't the same. But that
was all Vince McMahon. You could blame

1177
01:28:27.840 --> 01:28:31.439
him for that. Rodivas Prime Swerve
against Osprey at Forbidden Door, shut up

1178
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:36.479
and take my money. That's right. And I'm gonna I guess I'm gonna

1179
01:28:36.600 --> 01:28:41.159
piss off a lot of people when
I tell them that I am going to

1180
01:28:41.199 --> 01:28:46.880
spend fifty bucks to see that match. What a terrible person I am,

1181
01:28:48.479 --> 01:28:54.199
Jerome Eugenio. Maybe Swerve cheats to
win and turns back heel to beat Osprey.

1182
01:28:54.479 --> 01:28:58.600
Ye know, I did. I
did think about that, and I

1183
01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:01.279
wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't mind
it. And then you could also get

1184
01:29:01.279 --> 01:29:04.119
to a second match that way,
and you can run it back at Wembley

1185
01:29:04.159 --> 01:29:11.359
in the main event with Swerve as
the clear heel. And you already know

1186
01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:15.880
Osprey is going to be the huge
babyface at Wembley. Maybe that's the idea,

1187
01:29:15.920 --> 01:29:19.800
maybe the ideas that look. Swerve
never really did anything to turn babyface.

1188
01:29:19.880 --> 01:29:25.680
The fans just organically gravitated towards him
because they think he's cool and they

1189
01:29:25.760 --> 01:29:29.000
respect him and they want to see
They wanted to see him get his you

1190
01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:32.479
know flowers, which he finally did. But if he feels like that title

1191
01:29:32.560 --> 01:29:34.960
is in jeopardy, you know,
he may have a stranglehold on it and

1192
01:29:35.000 --> 01:29:39.520
feel like, I'm gonna do whatever
I have to fucking do to make sure

1193
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:44.359
that this title stays with me.
If I have to nut shot the guy,

1194
01:29:44.399 --> 01:29:46.359
if I have to hook the tides
hole the rope, have Nana helped

1195
01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:50.760
me out, whatever it is,
and then he hands well Ospray his very

1196
01:29:50.800 --> 01:29:57.000
first loss since signing a full time
deal with aw But just the nature of

1197
01:29:57.039 --> 01:30:00.399
how he beats him, maybe it
leads to aus Spray winning the Oen Anyway,

1198
01:30:00.439 --> 01:30:03.119
maybe he does win the Owen and
that's how he earns his way back

1199
01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:09.840
into the main event. Maybe maybe
I think that's very possible. And you

1200
01:30:09.880 --> 01:30:14.760
know what, I'd be totally fine
with that as over a swerve is it

1201
01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:17.159
would keep the belt on him a
little bit longer. It would probably get

1202
01:30:17.199 --> 01:30:24.159
him a Wembley main event, and
I actually liked that idea. Drew Johnson

1203
01:30:24.199 --> 01:30:28.560
with a fifty dollars super chat bomb, not his only one, but that

1204
01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:35.840
is his first one came in earlier. Thank you. Drew. Jericho's segment

1205
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:42.319
was garbage, No MJF tonight.
What the fuck go HBK. Love you

1206
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:45.960
bro, Thank you, Drew,
Love you brother, Chris. Mike Sell.

1207
01:30:46.039 --> 01:30:49.319
You mentioned that Money in the Bank
took Survivor Series spot as the Big

1208
01:30:49.359 --> 01:30:53.920
four in recent years. What should
happen or what would you do to make

1209
01:30:53.960 --> 01:31:00.560
Survivor Series get that reputation back.
It's not going to. I mean Money

1210
01:31:00.560 --> 01:31:03.680
in the Bank replaced it, and
so that's the Big four. It's the

1211
01:31:03.720 --> 01:31:08.920
Big five if you expand it out
to Survivor Series. And I think Triple

1212
01:31:09.039 --> 01:31:13.039
H has already taken steps by doing
the Wargames matches. Yeah, I'm a

1213
01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:16.039
big War Games fan. I was
calling for it for years. We finally

1214
01:31:16.079 --> 01:31:20.520
have it, and I think that's
that's what needed to be done. But

1215
01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:25.439
it's I don't think there's anything that
they're gonna do with Survivor Series that is

1216
01:31:25.479 --> 01:31:29.159
going to make it leap frog Money
in the Bank. People love the money

1217
01:31:29.159 --> 01:31:31.600
in the Bank concept. I mean, I would give it a rest,

1218
01:31:31.760 --> 01:31:35.079
but I know why they continue to
do it. They're not gonna stop doing

1219
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:42.319
it. People love it. I
don't see Survivor Series, you know,

1220
01:31:42.439 --> 01:31:47.079
doing anything that's gonna replace Money in
the Bank in that spot. I think

1221
01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:54.239
the Big four is pretty solid at
this point. A Jackson swerve wins first

1222
01:31:54.239 --> 01:32:00.279
and then Osprey wins at Wembley.
That sounds about right to me. I

1223
01:32:00.319 --> 01:32:03.720
definitely think that's possible. Tanya,
thank you for the four ninety nine,

1224
01:32:03.880 --> 01:32:10.800
very much appreciated. Oz and Glorious
a big Stephanie vekerfan obviously Drew Johnson with

1225
01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:17.119

1226
01:32:17.159 --> 01:32:20.119
it fixed. You're the goat,
my friend, Dru, thank you,

1227
01:32:21.279 --> 01:32:26.000
Yeah, I'll fix that hole.
It was only yours though, which is

1228
01:32:26.079 --> 01:32:30.479
kind of interesting. So I wonder
if it activated the talk to text only

1229
01:32:30.520 --> 01:32:33.199
for fifty and above because I didn't
hear her voice for any of the other

1230
01:32:33.239 --> 01:32:38.479
ones. It was only your girl, she's yours. I didn't hear it

1231
01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:43.239
for anybody else. The Juliet Tony
Khan donated his NFL draft neck brace to

1232
01:32:43.279 --> 01:32:46.880
the NFL networks Rich Eisen and donated
one hundred thousand dollars to Saint Jude's as

1233
01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:53.119
a result. I did mention that
on Twitter and Saint Jude's is a great

1234
01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:59.319
place for him to be supporting at
that level, that that money is going

1235
01:32:59.359 --> 01:33:01.119
to go to a good and I
thought that was awesome. It was a

1236
01:33:01.239 --> 01:33:08.359
very very cool thing. Justin g
Keep Voice and Ed slide In Shabata holding

Monster is the greatest of all time.

1238
01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:19.920
I don't know if I'd say that, but better you say it than me.

1239
01:33:20.159 --> 01:33:23.199
See if I say it, though
it makes me look like I have

1240
01:33:23.239 --> 01:33:29.479
a big head. Drew Johnson with
another fifty dollars super chat. My goodness,

1241
01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:33.119
I'm gonna wear this button out with
you. Solo Monster takes out his

1242
01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:38.920
trash on time, He opens doors
for people, always pays his bills.

1243
01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:45.680
He is a true American citizen who
loves wrestling and loves HBK. If only

1244
01:33:45.720 --> 01:33:50.680
Brett Hart could win this man out. Read that computer acknowledge me. You

1245
01:33:50.800 --> 01:33:56.720
have been acknowledged. She didn't,
although she didn't read the very end of

1246
01:33:56.760 --> 01:34:00.600
it because it was too freaking long. Bender mc simpson and what's going on?

1247
01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:05.359
Bender? That Chris Jericho segment almost
had me on a bender tonight.

1248
01:34:06.600 --> 01:34:11.560
I love the Casino Gauntlet match.
It's a great twist on an old idea.

1249
01:34:11.600 --> 01:34:15.439
It's better than any Royal rumble that
I have seen in the last ten

1250
01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:20.319
years. I disagree. I would
not go that far. The one tonight

1251
01:34:20.479 --> 01:34:24.119
was exciting. See the last one
they did, I didn't think it was

1252
01:34:25.119 --> 01:34:29.319
Yeah, it wasn't anything fantastic.
This one was better. This one was

1253
01:34:29.319 --> 01:34:35.399
more exciting, but better than any
Royal Rumble in the last decade. No,

1254
01:34:38.079 --> 01:34:42.159
no, I wouldn't go that far. Ozen Glory is not gonna lie.

1255
01:34:42.239 --> 01:34:47.600
I absolutely loved the learning Tree.
So you're the one. Well,

1256
01:34:47.640 --> 01:34:53.119
I guess we just found a new
member. We found the new disciple of

1257
01:34:53.159 --> 01:35:01.560
Jericho here. When Jericho called everyone
branches, I lost it. Giovanni's a

1258
01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:06.079
rotte. My god, Giovanni.
I haven't mentioned that name in a while.

1259
01:35:06.119 --> 01:35:10.600
Thank you for the ten. Do
you think that AEW should turn the

1260
01:35:10.640 --> 01:35:14.560
Casino Gauntlet match into a pay per
view with the winner getting a shot at

1261
01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:18.560
the title, similar to WWE's Royal
Rumble. If Tony Kahn was to add

1262
01:35:18.600 --> 01:35:25.960
more shows in twenty twenty five,
I think that it's something that he should

1263
01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:30.800
consider. I mean, the casino
thing, it's kind of tied into double

1264
01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:35.000
or nothing, but he could do
it. You know, if he was

1265
01:35:35.039 --> 01:35:38.479
going to add more pay per views, and I don't know that he really

1266
01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:41.199
needs to, I would rather there
not be pay per views every month.

1267
01:35:41.319 --> 01:35:45.640
I think eight or nine is perfectly
fine. But yeah, I think it's

1268
01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:53.840
something that he would consider. But
Giovanni, thank you man, Noel Mulligan,

1269
01:35:53.960 --> 01:35:59.359
how is it going solid? Monster? It's going very well. I

1270
01:35:59.359 --> 01:36:02.960
hope it's going well with you too, Oz says shout out to Bliss fan,

1271
01:36:03.039 --> 01:36:12.399
who one hundred percent knows that Viker
is better than Alexa the mount Burn

1272
01:36:12.399 --> 01:36:15.239
and kid Christopher Bennett with the five
what's up Solo? Does Tony kh got

1273
01:36:15.239 --> 01:36:20.119
the guts to have Swerve go over
Ospray or is the clock ticking for Swerve's

1274
01:36:20.159 --> 01:36:25.199
reign? I say no, he
does not. I don't think Osprey is

1275
01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:28.680
winning at Forbidden Door. I don't
think we're getting a title change. I

1276
01:36:28.800 --> 01:36:34.439
like the idea that Jerome mentioned about
U Swerve having to win by nefarious means

1277
01:36:34.479 --> 01:36:38.520
and it leads to him going heel
again and you get two matches out of

1278
01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:41.960
it instead of one, and he
holds onto it a little bit longer.

1279
01:36:44.159 --> 01:36:51.600
Bender says, love the Scapegoat Bus
reminds me of Twisted Metal, a dark

1280
01:36:51.680 --> 01:36:56.479
effect with the ten dollars super chat. I always wanted a pair of the

1281
01:36:56.600 --> 01:37:00.479
La Gears myself never could convince my
parents to buy me a set. Still

1282
01:37:00.520 --> 01:37:04.079
a little salty to be honest that
I remember the pumps too, hashtag getting

1283
01:37:04.119 --> 01:37:09.520
old. Yeah, but yet what's
old is new again? Doesn't it feel

1284
01:37:09.560 --> 01:37:14.359
that way that retro is like the
end thing now, bringing back the pumps,

1285
01:37:14.560 --> 01:37:18.760
bringing back Beatle juice, some Beverly
Hills cop. You're always hearing about

1286
01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:24.119
like retro stuff. You know why? Because the classics are the best.

1287
01:37:24.239 --> 01:37:30.560
Man, That's why classics are the
best. Well, they always get brought

1288
01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:34.960
back. Fabian Garcia. Do you
think with Osprey and MJF they have their

1289
01:37:35.039 --> 01:37:40.159
Austin and Rock or at least Sena
and Batista, like two big names that

1290
01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:45.079
could lead to a big clash somewhere
down the line. Yeah, I mean

1291
01:37:45.119 --> 01:37:48.319
two big names that will eventually clash. But I don't look at them as

1292
01:37:48.399 --> 01:37:53.199
Rock and Austin or I mean,
I know what you're saying, but you

1293
01:37:53.199 --> 01:37:56.640
know when you mention those names,
people start making comparisons. There is no

1294
01:37:56.680 --> 01:38:01.680
comparison there. I look at it
as Osprey and are the two top babyfaces

1295
01:38:01.720 --> 01:38:06.920
in all of aw Right now,
Swerve is now number three with mjf's return

1296
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:11.600
and the reaction he got a double
or nothing and the reactions that Osprey has

1297
01:38:11.600 --> 01:38:15.359
been getting. Swerve is now number
three on the list of top baby faces.

1298
01:38:17.119 --> 01:38:21.119
So MJF and Osprey are basically one
and two right now in that respect.

1299
01:38:23.199 --> 01:38:27.159
You could say that, but you
gotta be careful. Anybody who says

1300
01:38:27.199 --> 01:38:30.279
Rock and Austin, people automatically are
like, oh, are you comparing them

1301
01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:35.000
to Rock and Austin. It's like, no, No, it's just an

1302
01:38:35.039 --> 01:38:44.000
analogy. HBKC eighty three. Who
is the greatest babyface manager of all time?

1303
01:38:46.319 --> 01:38:50.479
I like how you had to specify
babyface because we already know who the

1304
01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:58.840
greatest heal manager of all times,
greatest babyface manager of all time? Right,

1305
01:38:59.239 --> 01:39:06.560
I don't want to say Oliver Humberding. I can't say that babyface manager.

1306
01:39:08.920 --> 01:39:12.600
I don't know. Paul Behar would
be pretty high up on the list,

1307
01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:15.319
you know, Paul Behar and the
Undertaker. They were such an iconic

1308
01:39:15.359 --> 01:39:17.920
combo. Most of the great managers
were heels, you know. I mean

1309
01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:24.039
the top managers of all time were
all heels. Heenan Hayman, Cornett,

1310
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:30.520
all heel, Jimmy Hart. Jimmy
Hart was a baby face, but Jimmy

1311
01:39:30.520 --> 01:39:33.960
Hart was best when he was a
heel. You know, when he was

1312
01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:42.159
a babyface with Hogan, eh,
not great. But when Jimmy was a

1313
01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:45.720
heel and he was in Memphis and
then he came up to WWE and he

1314
01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:48.800
was with the Hearts and Honky Tonk
Men and Greg Valentine and all these different

1315
01:39:48.800 --> 01:39:55.399
people, that's when he was at
his best. So it's actually a pretty

1316
01:39:55.399 --> 01:40:01.359
tough question because you don't really think
about babyface manager too often. But I

1317
01:40:01.680 --> 01:40:04.680
think Paul Baer would be pretty high
up on the list. You know,

1318
01:40:04.760 --> 01:40:12.119
Elizabeth is. Elizabeth is up there
too, but it was more it wasn't

1319
01:40:12.119 --> 01:40:17.560
even anything that she herself did.
You know, she stood there, but

1320
01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:24.640
in that storyline though, she was
such an important part of that storyline and

1321
01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:30.119
such an important part of why Randy
Savage got over in the way that he

1322
01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:36.199
did. But what did she actually
do. She didn't cut promos, she

1323
01:40:36.279 --> 01:40:43.119
didn't physically get involved typically, you
know, very rarely. She pulled her

1324
01:40:43.159 --> 01:40:47.640
skirt off that one time at SummerSlam
and had everybody distracted. It's probably the

1325
01:40:47.680 --> 01:40:51.640
only thing she ever really did well. Actually, I take that back.

1326
01:40:54.000 --> 01:40:57.600
I do take that back. Summer
Slam eighty nine was probably her her big

1327
01:40:57.640 --> 01:41:01.520
moment. Because she tripped Sherry over
the top rope near the end of the

1328
01:41:01.520 --> 01:41:04.800
match, and then when the match
was over when she walloped her in the

1329
01:41:04.840 --> 01:41:10.319
head with that loaded purse. That
was a great moment. Tony Schavanti on

1330
01:41:10.399 --> 01:41:17.720
commentary just totally lost his shit at
that moment. Basce beers, Tony Khan

1331
01:41:17.840 --> 01:41:26.079
needs the inflatable hug tube. Guys
like Bailey, Well, he won't need

1332
01:41:26.119 --> 01:41:30.199
them if he's not on TV.
Keep him off TV and he won't need

1333
01:41:30.239 --> 01:41:36.479
them. He shouldn't be on TV. Dark Effect over a thousand in here

1334
01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:41.079
on a Wednesday, the sign of
an enjoyable show and that you are killing

1335
01:41:41.119 --> 01:41:44.520
it solo. Thanks for all you
do, especially after such a wrestling heavy

1336
01:41:44.560 --> 01:41:48.479
week. I know that you are
tired, uh, Dark Effect. Yes,

1337
01:41:48.520 --> 01:41:50.920
I am very tired, but I
am very happy that you are with

1338
01:41:50.960 --> 01:41:57.600
me. It's been a very busy, very very tiring weekend. Food Hive,

1339
01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:01.760
you have nine days, Matt Side
in nine days. I see.

1340
01:42:01.760 --> 01:42:06.239
I knew that would get a reaction
out of Food Hut. Nine days,

1341
01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:13.640
nine days. I'll never forget that
segment. One of the more memorable segments

1342
01:42:13.640 --> 01:42:17.720
from those pandemic shows of Tony Kahan
coming out and saying annoying days, you

1343
01:42:17.800 --> 01:42:21.119
got Annoine days? Who was he
saying that too? It was Kenny Omega,

1344
01:42:21.199 --> 01:42:27.479
right, I think it was Kenny
Omega Gold Matthew, what's up?

1345
01:42:27.600 --> 01:42:32.640
Salo? The Monster hot take?
Excuse me? The Devil storyline is the

1346
01:42:32.680 --> 01:42:39.119
best who Done It of all time
due to its logical conclusion. Do you

1347
01:42:39.199 --> 01:42:45.039
agree? No? No, I
didn't think it. No. I mean

1348
01:42:45.079 --> 01:42:48.479
I didn't think it was anything like
any kind of all time great angle.

1349
01:42:49.039 --> 01:42:54.520
No. I didn't see it that
way. I'd have to think about other

1350
01:42:54.600 --> 01:42:57.720
who done it angles, because there
have been some bad ones over the years.

1351
01:42:59.279 --> 01:43:00.920
I mean, maybe it wins by
default. I'm trying to think of

1352
01:43:00.960 --> 01:43:09.680
a great who done it that had
like this fantastic payoff. I'm drawing a

1353
01:43:09.720 --> 01:43:14.279
blank. I didn't think this one
was that great either. To be honest

1354
01:43:14.319 --> 01:43:20.880
with you, Ozen, glorious Battle
Royale is not better than the Gauntlet.

1355
01:43:21.039 --> 01:43:30.920
Sorry. Was on a dog walk? Okay, thank you, Oz,

1356
01:43:33.279 --> 01:43:41.399
your dog or somebody else. Maybe
you're a dog walker. You see that

1357
01:43:41.479 --> 01:43:45.840
in the city Sometimes people will walk
other people's dogs. They'll have literally like

1358
01:43:45.920 --> 01:43:50.239
eight dogs on a leash, and
these dogs are trying to run this way

1359
01:43:50.279 --> 01:43:53.000
in that way. And that way, and I'm like, it's like,

1360
01:43:53.640 --> 01:43:57.359
I hope they're getting hazard pay.
I could never. I can never do

1361
01:43:57.439 --> 01:44:00.560
that. They would just piss me
off. I would let him go,

1362
01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:06.359
say fuck it, goodbye, goodbye. They're not my problem anymore. That's

1363
01:44:06.399 --> 01:44:11.399
probably why I don't have a dog. Bass Beers, Sexy Red and Sean

1364
01:44:11.479 --> 01:44:21.159
Michael's crossover before GTA six, Oznglorious
Triple H called Vince McMahon the Learning Tree

1365
01:44:21.560 --> 01:44:30.359
multiple times. I guess they have
something in common Basce Beers. Someone said

1366
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:35.159
miss Elizabeth for Babyface manager. Yes, we just talked about her. She's

1367
01:44:35.199 --> 01:44:43.960
definitely in that conversation for sure.
Oz Glorious. Therea's match in La got

1368
01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:47.880
cut and she is liking anti aw
posts tonight on X with her bio change

1369
01:44:47.920 --> 01:44:57.319
to h I I'm the head out
yikes. All right, so she's having

1370
01:44:57.359 --> 01:45:00.800
a tantrum like a child. Her
match was already an now for next week.

1371
01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:06.039
Originally they announced Mariah May and Soraya
for the show tonight. It didn't

1372
01:45:06.079 --> 01:45:11.359
happen tonight, so it's gonna happen
next week. It's already been announced.

1373
01:45:12.119 --> 01:45:15.479
It's not like they cut the match
and you know said that, Okay,

1374
01:45:15.479 --> 01:45:16.640
well, we're just not gonna do
it. They're gonna do it next week.

1375
01:45:16.680 --> 01:45:28.680
So what's the problem Bace Bears,
Stacy Keibler or Superheroes in Training?

1376
01:45:29.159 --> 01:45:38.680
No, no for a best baby
face manager now oz inglorious our dogs we

1377
01:45:38.760 --> 01:45:43.359
rescue was correcting a battle royal.
Oh that's very nice that you rescue.

1378
01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:48.079
Yeah, I know people who foster
kittens and stuff like that. Good people

1379
01:45:49.600 --> 01:45:54.439
now at all seriousness though, if
you are if you are good to animals

1380
01:45:54.439 --> 01:45:57.239
and you are good to pets,
I think that's a reflection of the kind

1381
01:45:57.239 --> 01:46:00.039
of human being that you are.
I think some of the worst people on

1382
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:03.840
the planet are people who abuse pets. And you will hear stories in the

1383
01:46:03.840 --> 01:46:06.960
news every now and then, like
that of a dog that got rescued and

1384
01:46:06.960 --> 01:46:10.920
he was in rough shape because they
found him in the street and some kids

1385
01:46:10.960 --> 01:46:14.760
were like kicking him. And I
mean, there have been some awful story.

1386
01:46:14.760 --> 01:46:16.520
There was a story but a cat
I don't even want to get into

1387
01:46:16.560 --> 01:46:21.039
it, something with firecrackers, and
it's just I don't understand how people can

1388
01:46:21.039 --> 01:46:26.399
do that to animals. And I
think that again, it says a lot

1389
01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:29.319
about who they are as a human
being. When you hear stuff like that.

1390
01:46:29.600 --> 01:46:34.600
So that's good though. That's good
that you're doing that. And Ufman,

1391
01:46:36.159 --> 01:46:45.279
what would a conversation sound like between
Tony Kahan and John Laurnites. Well,

1392
01:46:45.319 --> 01:46:50.399
it would probably sound like both of
them, you know, smoke twenty

1393
01:46:50.439 --> 01:46:56.439
packs a day. I mean,
John Laurnitis is like the you know,

1394
01:46:56.479 --> 01:47:02.640
the easiest, the easiest one to
do. People power, all about people

1395
01:47:02.720 --> 01:47:10.199
power. Excuse me, I have
to get my towel. My towels are

1396
01:47:10.199 --> 01:47:14.680
ready, My towels are in the
dryer. I gotta put them down so

1397
01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:19.520
I have something to put my knees
on for Vince McMahon, then Tony.

1398
01:47:19.800 --> 01:47:26.800
The thing with Tony Khan that's weird
is like he he just he yells everything

1399
01:47:26.800 --> 01:47:30.319
he has to shout. He did
that with Martha Hart on Sunday on the

1400
01:47:30.359 --> 01:47:33.279
pre show when he was making the
announcement, and it's like the way he

1401
01:47:33.479 --> 01:47:40.560
will enunciate certain things and just shout
it. It's like, dude, just

1402
01:47:40.560 --> 01:47:43.960
just speak like a normal person.
I see you doing media interviews. He

1403
01:47:44.039 --> 01:47:45.800
was on the Rich Eisend show.
He just talked about that he donated one

1404
01:47:45.840 --> 01:47:50.520
hundred thousand dollars to Saint Jude and
it wasn't like he was sitting there just

1405
01:47:50.560 --> 01:47:55.680
shouting. It's like he's not a
performer, and so I don't know if

1406
01:47:55.680 --> 01:48:00.319
it's nerves or he's trying to portray
a character, but he goes out there

1407
01:48:00.359 --> 01:48:03.880
and he just shouts. And that's
why I said Christopher Daniels being his surrogate

1408
01:48:03.960 --> 01:48:09.000
on TV. It could be anybody, honestly, not that Christopher Daniels is

1409
01:48:09.000 --> 01:48:11.720
some kind of great promo. I
mean, he fucked up rampage and called

1410
01:48:11.720 --> 01:48:16.239
it dynamite, But he's perfectly acceptable
in that position. You could put almost

1411
01:48:16.279 --> 01:48:18.840
anybody out there, and I think
it would be better than Tony Kahan.

1412
01:48:21.319 --> 01:48:26.199
It's just very it's just very weird, you know. He just he's trying

1413
01:48:26.279 --> 01:48:35.399
too hard. He's very awkward.
Johnny Yce's voice sounds like super Dave.

1414
01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:40.720
Yeah, well, except super Dave
was a good person and not a piece

1415
01:48:40.720 --> 01:48:45.960
of shit. That's the difference.
So of course the good person is no

1416
01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:47.079
longer with us, and the piece
of shit is still with it. So

1417
01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:54.960
that's the way it works in life. Unfortunately, Bace Beers Pilemy is technically

1418
01:48:55.039 --> 01:49:00.880
a racing queen. Oh Pilemy Piomy. Well, it's like I said,

1419
01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:04.560
you know the way you treat animals
as a reflection and that said a lot

1420
01:49:04.600 --> 01:49:12.760
about Ralph Siferetto. What happened to
port Pylemi and Green four nine two eight

1421
01:49:12.840 --> 01:49:20.479
five wheelchair kurd Angle as best babyface
manager when he was on SmackDown wheelchair kurd

1422
01:49:20.520 --> 01:49:26.760
Angle? Was he a babyface when
he was doing that? I don't remember.

1423
01:49:31.840 --> 01:49:36.600
I don't remember what he was what
he was doing at that time.

1424
01:49:40.600 --> 01:49:44.439
Thank you for the super chat love. I appreciate it very much. And

1425
01:49:44.760 --> 01:49:49.439
we are up to four hundred and
sixty likes here on the video, so

1426
01:49:50.199 --> 01:49:55.199
your likes do help the video out
quite a bit to get it out more

1427
01:49:55.239 --> 01:49:59.479
so that more people will see the
video and they're recommended. That's why I

1428
01:49:59.560 --> 01:50:01.439
mentioned it every week, So thank
you for that. Hey, funky weapon,

1429
01:50:01.520 --> 01:50:06.000
What a moronic way for Edge to
get injured? Yes, it was

1430
01:50:06.119 --> 01:50:15.319
very dumb. It was very very
dumb. And Isaac, what was your

1431
01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:25.680
pet cat like? She was afraid
of people that she didn't know. So

1432
01:50:25.720 --> 01:50:29.600
if the bell rang, like the
doorbell rang, forget it, she'd be

1433
01:50:29.640 --> 01:50:31.399
gone. She'd go under her bed. You wouldn't see her for a day.

1434
01:50:32.479 --> 01:50:36.359
So she wasn't exactly a very people
friendly if she didn't know who you

1435
01:50:36.359 --> 01:50:41.479
were. It was funny actually because
the cable guy when I had cable,

1436
01:50:41.560 --> 01:50:45.159
when I still had cable, cable
guy came in one day to try to

1437
01:50:45.199 --> 01:50:48.760
fix or do something with one of
the boxes, and she didn't realize that

1438
01:50:48.840 --> 01:50:53.520
he was here. I don't even
know how she didn't realize it. And

1439
01:50:53.560 --> 01:50:57.319
he comes into like the like the
back bedroom, and he's trying to fix

1440
01:50:57.359 --> 01:50:59.840
the cable box, and that's where
the cat was, and the cat was

1441
01:50:59.880 --> 01:51:03.039
on the bed and the cat's looking
at me, has no idea that this

1442
01:51:03.119 --> 01:51:08.319
guy is behind her. And then
as he starts fumbling around and making noise

1443
01:51:09.039 --> 01:51:12.720
like the ears go up and she
realizes and what she turns around. There's

1444
01:51:12.760 --> 01:51:16.560
this moment of panic where she's like
surveying, like wait, I don't know

1445
01:51:16.600 --> 01:51:18.840
who you are. And then he
turns around and she looks at him,

1446
01:51:18.880 --> 01:51:24.279
and I've never seen this animal move
so fast in my life, like a

1447
01:51:24.279 --> 01:51:27.399
bolt of lightning. I don't think
I found her for another two days.

1448
01:51:27.800 --> 01:51:31.039
I don't know where she was.
I don't know what what hole she crawled

1449
01:51:31.039 --> 01:51:38.560
into. I didn't see her for
a good two days after that, but

1450
01:51:39.720 --> 01:51:43.000
she was she was fun. It
was she was a domestic, short haired

1451
01:51:43.000 --> 01:51:49.920
tabby, and uh yeah, I
miss I miss her. I miss her.

1452
01:51:50.960 --> 01:51:57.840
Oz Glorious, a psychologist friend of
mine who loves aw is one hundred

1453
01:51:58.279 --> 01:52:04.760
convinced that Tony Kahan has Aspergers or
is on the spectrum, which explains his

1454
01:52:05.000 --> 01:52:10.520
on camera and scrum reactions. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not going

1455
01:52:10.600 --> 01:52:15.199
to diagnose him. He could just
be socially awkward, you know, I

1456
01:52:15.239 --> 01:52:18.439
don't know. I'm not a doctor
like he is, so I'm not going

1457
01:52:18.520 --> 01:52:21.239
to diagnose. He's just he's just
a weird guy. He's you know,

1458
01:52:21.319 --> 01:52:25.079
he's a nice guy. He seems
like a good guy, but just a

1459
01:52:25.119 --> 01:52:30.119
weird guy. And it's better to
have somebody else on television making the decisions

1460
01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:35.239
for him. So it could be
it could be fun to see him go

1461
01:52:35.319 --> 01:52:41.359
out there comically you know, comically
bad and then come on here and kind

1462
01:52:41.359 --> 01:52:45.319
of laugh at it. But I
just don't think it makes for good television.

1463
01:52:45.199 --> 01:52:49.079
Some people just are not meant to
be television performers. I'm sure that

1464
01:52:49.279 --> 01:52:57.439
most bookers and promoters, you know, secretly at least they want that,

1465
01:52:57.600 --> 01:53:00.479
they want to be on TV.
They want to be part of the show.

1466
01:53:00.479 --> 01:53:01.840
They want to be a bad guy
or they want to take a bump,

1467
01:53:02.800 --> 01:53:06.039
and he did. Yeah, you
know, you know, he's always

1468
01:53:06.079 --> 01:53:11.479
wanted to do that. So he
when he was upside down and he was,

1469
01:53:11.520 --> 01:53:14.560
you know, being sixty nine there
by Matt Jackson. He was having

1470
01:53:14.600 --> 01:53:19.760
the time of his life. He
was enjoying himself. Then he got dropped

1471
01:53:19.760 --> 01:53:25.359
on his head. And hey,
he got dropped on his head. And

1472
01:53:25.439 --> 01:53:29.600
Saint Jude ended up getting one hundred
thousand dollars for it, so at least

1473
01:53:29.600 --> 01:53:34.479
something good came out of it.
All right, let's go ahead and be

1474
01:53:34.600 --> 01:53:41.239
the booker. Ladies and gentlemen.
It is now time to be the booker.

1475
01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:46.840
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. He May's

1476
01:53:46.880 --> 01:53:51.680
the great? What's going on?
Maze May's the great? Was my father

1477
01:53:51.800 --> 01:53:57.279
ever on the podcast back in the
day. No, although you can't hear

1478
01:53:57.319 --> 01:54:02.199
his voice in the in the intro
to the podcast every week, I had

1479
01:54:02.199 --> 01:54:08.000
my mom on her Mother's Day.
That was the year before she lasted,

1480
01:54:08.039 --> 01:54:11.520
a year before she passed away.
But my father was never on the show.

1481
01:54:13.159 --> 01:54:18.239
All right, tag Team beat the
Booker. See here Caina Mankind that

1482
01:54:18.439 --> 01:54:30.199
the former WWE Tag Team champions Cain
and mankind starting us off here and it

1483
01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:39.199
will be Caanan mankind taking on the
outsiders, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

1484
01:54:39.279 --> 01:54:44.279
There you go, four of the
big names from that Monday Night War period,

1485
01:54:44.399 --> 01:54:50.479
Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Cain
and Mick Foley. Foley was ended

1486
01:54:50.560 --> 01:54:55.079
up being a very big part of
that Monday Night War period as it turned

1487
01:54:55.119 --> 01:54:59.119
out. But Scott Hall is the
one who kicked it all off. Soon

1488
01:54:59.119 --> 01:55:01.920
as Scott Hall walked out on Nitro, And that was May twenty seventh of

1489
01:55:02.039 --> 01:55:09.479
two thousand, May twenty seventh of
nineteen ninety six, so almost to the

1490
01:55:09.560 --> 01:55:15.199
day, all those many years ago, wrestling change forever. Women's be the

1491
01:55:15.199 --> 01:55:19.560
booker. We land on Mariah May. This is from her start of days

1492
01:55:19.960 --> 01:55:28.319
there. She is the queen herself. We all bow down to Mariah May,

1493
01:55:30.279 --> 01:55:38.840
your owen Hart Foundation Tournament winner for
twenty twenty four. Mariah May gonna

1494
01:55:38.880 --> 01:55:50.000
go one on one with Oh No, all read everything, Eva Marie?

1495
01:55:50.560 --> 01:55:58.920
Who's worse? Which which All Red
is worse? Eva Marie or Sexy Red.

1496
01:56:01.199 --> 01:56:06.199
I heard some of Sexy Red's music
and I failed to see how she

1497
01:56:06.319 --> 01:56:10.960
has one point four million followers on
Twitter? Am I missing something here?

1498
01:56:11.640 --> 01:56:15.039
Or is it just the fact that
she shakes her ass when she comes out,

1499
01:56:15.159 --> 01:56:17.399
and so you'll have one point four
million guys simping over her. We're

1500
01:56:17.399 --> 01:56:20.239
pretty much anybody who goes out and
shakes their ass. I bet if I

1501
01:56:20.279 --> 01:56:23.760
went out there and shook my ass
like that, I wouldn't have one point

1502
01:56:23.760 --> 01:56:31.720
four million subscribers or followers. And
I'm not going to do that. So

1503
01:56:31.800 --> 01:56:40.439
you don't have to worry about that. Men's be the booker main event time,

1504
01:56:44.199 --> 01:56:49.560
all right. We begin with bron
Breaker, who has quickly become one

1505
01:56:49.600 --> 01:56:54.720
of the must see parts of Monday
Night Raw in a very short period of

1506
01:56:54.760 --> 01:57:02.680
time. They have utilized him so
far in a very just genius fashion to

1507
01:57:02.760 --> 01:57:08.079
where I think, I think he's
already someone who people look at and they

1508
01:57:08.079 --> 01:57:10.760
know, Okay, this guy is
special. When this guy's on screen and

1509
01:57:11.319 --> 01:57:15.680
his his intensity. I don't know
if you saw the video. Did you

1510
01:57:15.720 --> 01:57:18.319
see the video of him? It
was fan video from the arena on Monday

1511
01:57:18.399 --> 01:57:23.920
Night when he came out to interfere
in the Ricochet Ilia Dragoneo match. It

1512
01:57:24.039 --> 01:57:27.720
showed him coming out from like one
of the tunnels. He was like crab

1513
01:57:27.760 --> 01:57:30.640
walking, not crabwalking, but like
spider walking on the floor. He was

1514
01:57:30.680 --> 01:57:34.560
like dragging himself along the floor like
Randy Orton, slithering like a viper waiting,

1515
01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:39.039
and the fans are like, they're
sitting there watching the match, and

1516
01:57:39.079 --> 01:57:42.199
they just like kind of look over. They're like, oh shit. And

1517
01:57:42.239 --> 01:57:45.640
then you see in the in the
background, Ricochet hits the four fifty and

1518
01:57:45.680 --> 01:57:49.640
then he just explodes and he just
runs and charges jumps over the barricade into

1519
01:57:49.640 --> 01:57:53.920
the ring. I mean the time
it took for him to go from the

1520
01:57:53.960 --> 01:58:00.199
crowd to the ring. I mean
the way he sprinted in there. It

1521
01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:02.880
kind of reminds me of brock Lesner
because you look at brock and you don't

1522
01:58:02.880 --> 01:58:05.560
expect him to be that fast,
but he is. It's like, oh

1523
01:58:05.600 --> 01:58:12.000
my god, what's scarier than brock
Lesner. Brock Lesner running after you,

1524
01:58:13.000 --> 01:58:17.319
That's what's scarier. That's what bron
Breaker reminds me of. That's right.

1525
01:58:17.359 --> 01:58:23.640
He looked like an apex predator.
That's right. Bron Breaker is going to

1526
01:58:23.720 --> 01:58:27.800
be in many main events in his
career, so why not start him out

1527
01:58:27.800 --> 01:58:31.119
here. Let's get a drum roll
going, bron Breaker, who is his

1528
01:58:31.119 --> 01:58:42.039
opponent going to be? Let's find
out bron Breaker against Hollywood Hulk Hogan,

1529
01:58:44.479 --> 01:58:48.800
the son of Rick Steiner, the
nephew of Scott Steiner who was once a

1530
01:58:48.840 --> 01:58:55.399
member of the New World Order.
Getting into the ring with Hollywood holkoke one

1531
01:58:55.439 --> 01:59:00.119
of the biggest stars of all time. That, my friends, is a

1532
01:59:00.199 --> 01:59:01.800
event. And see if I had
the power to book that match, it

1533
01:59:01.840 --> 01:59:06.079
would go more or less the same
way that the brock Lesner hul Cogan match

1534
01:59:06.119 --> 01:59:11.239
did on SmackDown back in two thousand
and two, where he would murder this

1535
01:59:11.319 --> 01:59:18.479
man and I would put bron Breaker
over. That's how that would go down

1536
01:59:23.680 --> 01:59:31.039
a Mehon with the two dollars?
Do you remember the I still remember note

1537
01:59:31.079 --> 01:59:35.479
that Booker t got. I don't, no, I don't remember that.

1538
01:59:40.920 --> 01:59:45.039
You know that reminds me. I
saw there was an interview with Jennifer Love

1539
01:59:45.119 --> 01:59:51.760
Hewitt and she mentioned I guess they're
doing is it a sequel? I don't

1540
01:59:51.760 --> 01:59:56.039
think it's a reboot. I think
it's a sequel of I Know what you

1541
01:59:56.039 --> 01:59:59.159
did last summer. Apparently they're working
on that. There's something in the works.

1542
02:00:00.359 --> 02:00:03.000
I mean, I guess the Spreen
movies still do well, so why

1543
02:00:03.000 --> 02:00:09.239
not? But do we really need
a sequel to I know what you did

1544
02:00:09.279 --> 02:00:15.319
last summer. She was definitely one
of my crushes back in the day,

1545
02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:21.119
that's for sure. So thank you
guys for the support. You missed it,

1546
02:00:21.640 --> 02:00:25.680
there's no shortage of content on the
channel. To go back and check

1547
02:00:25.680 --> 02:00:29.359
out the King and Queen of the
Ring review from Saturday, double or Nothing

1548
02:00:29.439 --> 02:00:33.319
review from well, I guess it
was Monday afternoon, the raw review from

1549
02:00:33.359 --> 02:00:36.960
Monday night. Of course, if
you missed it, I was live with

1550
02:00:38.319 --> 02:00:43.199
JD for Tuesday Night Titans over on
his channel three hours last night, talking

1551
02:00:43.239 --> 02:00:48.119
a whole bunch of different topics,
and we got one last stream here for

1552
02:00:48.199 --> 02:00:53.399
the month of May and then that's
it. So I want to end May

1553
02:00:53.920 --> 02:00:58.439
in the strongest possible way. So
join me on Friday night right here on

1554
02:00:58.479 --> 02:01:01.800
the channel. Bring your question and
your likes and your super chats and whatever

1555
02:01:01.840 --> 02:01:06.239
else, and let's send me out
with a bang, because we'll be talking

1556
02:01:06.279 --> 02:01:10.840
SmackDown coming out of King and Queen
of the Ring. We'll see what they

1557
02:01:10.840 --> 02:01:14.760
do on Friday night. We'll see
what happens with the AJ Styles storyline with

1558
02:01:14.880 --> 02:01:19.520
AJ Styles and Nick Aldis. I
know what you were watching last Monday.

1559
02:01:24.760 --> 02:01:30.000
You know what I'm watching every Monday
and Wednesday and Friday very predictable. Devin

1560
02:01:30.039 --> 02:01:33.039
from New Jersey to Solo agree with
Freddie Prinz Junior that it is up to

1561
02:01:33.079 --> 02:01:39.079
the talent to get themselves over.
I think the talent has to get themselves

1562
02:01:39.079 --> 02:01:42.960
over, but I also think that
the promoters can be a detriment to that

1563
02:01:43.079 --> 02:01:47.439
sometimes, and they also bear responsibility
in that. It goes both ways.

1564
02:01:47.840 --> 02:01:51.199
You can't just be on the wrestler
that the wrestler does not have full autonomy

1565
02:01:51.239 --> 02:01:55.800
to go out there and do whatever
they want. So yes, I mean

1566
02:01:55.800 --> 02:02:00.319
you have to get yourself over,
but you also need the company to you

1567
02:02:00.359 --> 02:02:04.800
to nurture and support that and promote
that. You can get yourself over on

1568
02:02:04.920 --> 02:02:12.119
social media, cutting promos and then
get jobbed out on TV. So it

1569
02:02:12.119 --> 02:02:19.159
goes both ways. I don't think
it's in all or nothing situation, that's

1570
02:02:19.199 --> 02:02:25.119
right, Freddy Price, speaking of
which, that's right, Freddy Prince Junior

1571
02:02:25.319 --> 02:02:28.000
was and I know what you did
last summer. Look at the timing of

1572
02:02:28.000 --> 02:02:30.600
that, the timing of that super
chat that was perfect. But yeah,

1573
02:02:30.640 --> 02:02:36.640
he is starting his own promotion very
soon. We'll see how that turns out.

1574
02:02:36.680 --> 02:02:40.159
Yeah, Wardlow got over. See
it gets a good point. There

1575
02:02:40.199 --> 02:02:44.439
By, bash Wardlow got himself over. He got over pretty good. How'd

1576
02:02:44.439 --> 02:02:48.760
that turn out for him? Tell
that to Freddy Prince Jr. I'll see

1577
02:02:48.760 --> 02:02:53.960
you guys on Friday night for the
SmackDown review, So then take care, guys,
