WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.360 Hello everyone, This is Memphis Mark coming to you from Mullet Manor and of 2 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:11.439 course I'm with Maintenance Maverick out of Parts Unknown over there. How you're doing, 3 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.199 Maverick, It's been pretty good, man. It's been a little bit 4 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.679 hot over here lately. But you know what, perfect time to stay inside 5 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.879 of the acon just watch them wrestling. What about you, Mark Man? 6 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.879 It is braining cats and dogs. I met a guy named Noah earlier had 7 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:29.440 a boat. It was it's been every weekend. It's been that way. 8 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:35.799 But I did get to see collision and it it looked like a good crowd. 9 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.880 It was in Saskatchewan. Said, that's two times in a row. 10 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:44.920 I've said it correctly. Regina and uh And the show starts off going straight 11 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.600 into promos. I kind of, you know, I kind of liked them. 12 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.119 You know, it's something different to start a show off. I mean, 13 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.600 what do you think about it? So they've been doing this, I 14 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.240 feel like since the one Hard Tournament has started, and I really enjoy seeing 15 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.280 just having opponents go at each other a little bit, just jaw jacking in 16 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.760 separate interviews. I guess in a way, just see separate promos. Really 17 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.000 love it. It's a great way to start the show off, just to 18 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.680 give you a little hint at what we have soon to come later on. 19 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.599 You have any more thoughts on the man, Well, yeah, Actually it's 20 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.000 kind of an old school way of doing it because it would make you go 21 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.680 ahead and hurry up and get back from the kitchen, you know, and 22 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.959 sit down because you start hearing the promos and you don't want to miss nothing. 23 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.760 And so it's kind of a little old school field. But I'll tell 24 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:37.480 you what. They go straight into powerhouse Hobbes and Ricky Starks, and man, 25 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.519 this match did not disappoint. I mean, I'll let you start off 26 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.760 on this one. So Hobbs versus Starks. Looking at my notes from the 27 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.519 beginning, it felt like it was a The size difference was a big part 28 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.519 in this. They were kind of playing on Okay, start seeing the small 29 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.599 guy, Hobbs being the bigger guy. They're kind of having Hobbs bully starts 30 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.840 a little bit throughout of it. I was pretty enjoyed. I liked seeing 31 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.799 Hobbs playing the brick house bully. I really, you know, it works 32 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.639 for him. He's kind of what I would have wanted out of Mark Henry 33 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.319 for a few years in WWE, but you know, they have their own 34 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.439 separate type of matches that they liked to have him do. And Stars, 35 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.680 I thought he sold very well. There's a couple of times during a picture 36 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.840 and picture I saw like, um, Hobbs standing on for a second. 37 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.560 The way he was screaming, it seemed kind of realistic. I really liked 38 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:32.080 the way that was going on. Having a listen to the crowd as well. 39 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.199 Their reactions are spot on for what it should be. He's playing a 40 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.439 great heel. Hearing the fans blew him with every single strike. That was 41 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.479 really cool to hear and just to see like, Okay, he's doing his 42 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.199 job. They you know, they're giving him the pop that he's supposed to 43 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.639 have. There was a great power bomb from Starks off the top rope. 44 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.680 I was not sure if he was going to be able to hold onto him 45 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.000 because you know that's a big guy in Starks he's not the biggest guy, 46 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.560 but man, he really held him up. Andrey Edwards, Uh, she 47 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.520 does a really great job as a ref. I really enjoyed watching her just 48 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.039 the way that she kind of performs into the show. She really does help 49 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.960 out with it help with the flow. She actually has her own character, 50 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.680 it feels like at this point, but I felt like the maginal the story 51 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.800 in the end that being he's been winning by interference by QT Marshall, now 52 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.000 he's going to lose by interference from Qt Marshall. And then seeing that turn 53 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.439 at the end that kind of made me questions he going to go babyface now 54 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.479 or is he going to continue on this four path maybe just try to go 55 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.479 on his own? What do you think, Mark Man? I thought it 56 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.039 was classic writing. It is something they probably went back in the files and 57 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:45.560 just pulled out an old script or not a script, but an old storyline. 58 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.639 And because it had all the feels of old school yeah and Hobbs, 59 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.240 Yeah, you gotta let him because he's so big, you gotta let him 60 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:59.439 throw him around and starts so old. He's sold good. He had his 61 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.400 little birchs uh. And then you have at the end, of course, 62 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.080 like you said, you win that way, you lose that way, and 63 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.199 you have the turn you got what is it, Aaron Solo coming in to 64 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.840 try to save him and he gets a spinebuster for his efforts. And then 65 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.439 you had hardly running in and eventually saving him and he storms off. I 66 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.959 mean, it's it's it was. I thought it was great. I thought 67 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.800 it was great. Uh a solid match and a good starting match. So 68 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.959 I mean, you can't ask for him more to start it off, except 69 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:40.199 when you throw h Muro, you throw Muro in and uh, I believe 70 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.600 it was no. Yeah, he came after that, Muro did his uh, 71 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.720 his his great promo. I loved that he uh he of course has 72 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:55.240 no one to love and uh he has a double jointed hot wife. Uh 73 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:01.079 So what else can you ask for in a promo, right right? He 74 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.600 Honestly, I really enjoyed this promo. I like the way that Miro was 75 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.160 going. I gave this promo a seven out of ten for my rating scale. 76 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.199 The whole thing being kind of sent around I have nothing left to lose 77 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.839 right now. It kind of seems like and it kind of reminded me of 78 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.160 a quote that I heard a long time ago, not sure who it's from, 79 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.519 the quote being if you have nothing to live for, you'd better find 80 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.079 something to die for. That's kind of the vibe that I'm getting from Miro 81 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.279 at this point, and I'm really excited to see where he goes next with 82 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.360 this, and I believe that led into Athena and Willows promo that had next. 83 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:39.480 What the thoughts do you have on that? Well, just anybody with 84 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.360 the name Nightingale immediately makes me go get a refill of a drink or something. 85 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.000 But anyway, he exact, they had got her out there. She's 86 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:54.439 injured, I guess, and of course they've got to bring somebody out there 87 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.399 a thing that to give her a little time, because I think they were 88 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.079 supposed to have a match, and you know how it got put off by 89 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.079 the injury. So it gives a thing a little air time, you know, 90 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:09.839 the Ring of Honor Women's Champs, So you know it doesn't matter. 91 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.879 But they're they're setting up an angle, setting up an angle. Yeah, 92 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.839 I agree, man, they're setting up at least something for the future. 93 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.680 And I remember seeing Athena when she was Ember Moon. I saw her live 94 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:26.120 once at a WWE house show, and I remember just thinking, this girl 95 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.839 can perform. And you guys all know that I am a fan of Willow 96 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.800 Nightingale. I would love to see these two have a match. I don't 97 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.680 know if they have before or anything. Maybe somebody could you know, d 98 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.560 I mean, let me know if that's already happened before. But I'm excited 99 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.720 to see when these two go at it because I know they both can't perform. 100 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.319 They both are pretty athletic. Yeah, I'm excited to see what comes 101 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.839 up next for them. Our first disagreement, our first disagreement, I like 102 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:55.639 it. I like it. Then enough, Yeah, they're they're setting up 103 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.639 a blood and guts coming up. They did a nice little probo on that. 104 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.079 Of course, then you have Julia Heart going against your BRONI one Bamby 105 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.240 Hall and with that opening, I have to let you start it off, 106 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.279 all right. So in my notes, the first thing that I did was 107 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.519 Julia Hard versus and I couldn't quite hear her name at first. I put 108 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.519 question mark, and then when I finally heard them say Bamby Hall, I 109 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.240 wrote in Bamby next to it. But honestly, it's just another job or 110 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.959 really. Then, looking at the size difference, it just didn't feel right 111 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.279 in the beginning how the match was going. It just kind of looked strange 112 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:38.839 to me. And I also wrote down in my notes, this match starting 113 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.879 off feels like a junior high school chick fight. I don't know, I 114 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.079 just wasn't a fan of it in the beginning, and then at the end 115 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.560 of it, I put Wednesday Adams wins is kind of a boring squash. 116 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.959 I'm glad it ended with submission. At least that felt a little bit realistic 117 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.319 that you know, if the small, smaller person in the match is going 118 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.279 to put you in an armor or something, you're gonna tap out because you 119 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.480 know they're gonna break it type of thing. Uh what were you thinking during 120 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.600 that mark? Well, it did show a little bit of Julia heart She 121 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:15.240 can actually move a little bit, and uh, I believe the girl's Bamby 122 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.959 there. She slaps her a couple of times and puts I think they call 123 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.680 it the Heartless Lot and Bamby taps out. But it leads into a promo 124 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:33.320 though with Malachi Black and and I'm gonna let you take this name little yeah 125 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:41.799 what he said. And of course they're trying to get that mask back. 126 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.279 Uh, and you know he's back, you know, Andre he's back there, 127 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.240 he's in backstage. He says he's a businessman and he doesn't hide behind 128 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.159 the mask, but the mask is everything to him because it's about his family, 129 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.519 his culture, his country and uh, so you know that's that's his 130 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.000 standing up point. Now. I did like the way he spoke clearly, 131 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.080 slowly and got his point across, because I know that English has been hard 132 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.759 on him. But I think he did Actually, I think he did good 133 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.639 in this promo. I mean, what did you think about it? So 134 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.720 I really enjoyed this angle that they're going for because it's making me question where 135 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.600 they're going. This feels like it is fresh and it's not something that I 136 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.279 have seen before, just because I'm kind of seeing the House of Black. 137 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.480 It feels almost supernatural, like how came the Undertaker? Were many moons ago 138 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.960 as well as um, you're kind of seeing Andrade just saying like, no, 139 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.320 that's not what that mask is to me. It is how I honor 140 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.360 my family, how I honor my culture. And it just seems like, 141 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.759 all right, this is something new. This is I'm not sure how this 142 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.720 is going to work out in the end, but I'm really enjoying watching it 143 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.480 unfold right now. It feels like every week I'm seeing this and it's like 144 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.679 I want to tune in for this again, and I'm really excited to see 145 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.320 where it goes from here. The whole mask thing This could go either way. 146 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.679 It could be NOMS normal guy who wants a while, likes to wear 147 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.720 a mask, what's a big deal. Or it could be that, you 148 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:18.080 know, maybe they end up joining forces and creating some sort of new faction 149 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.600 to go against maybe Dark Order or something, and then have just one faction 150 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.399 lead over AW having that darker tone to them than Supernatural. I don't want 151 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.120 to call it abilities, but you know what I mean, Yeah, no, 152 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.840 it's great. I think it's it's kind of like the closest thing we've 153 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.080 seen to an Undertaker or maybe when Bray first come out or something like that. 154 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.279 I mean, it's as close as we've had to that. And what 155 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:50.240 did Andretti says he takes his mask off and it's time to fight and win. 156 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.519 So and he said it clearly, so we can't ask for anything more 157 00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:01.080 than that. But man, Maverick, Man, did we get a match? 158 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.159 To start off? I'm gonna say to start off, I'm gonna say 159 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:13.799 it is the best match I've seen this year. FTR and the Bullet Club 160 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:20.960 go baby, uh and just Dax and man, look, do you just 161 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.279 go ahead and get started because I've got like five pages of notes onone so 162 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.080 you go ahead and started off. All right, so starting off, So 163 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.559 as soon as I heard what the stipulation was that, uh that what was 164 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:41.240 it? It reminds me of defied denial rules, which was something in right 165 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.720 years ago. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead, 166 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.600 okay, so, uh yeah, it reminds me of defied defied denied 167 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.960 rules years ago in r OH. I remember it had something to do with 168 00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.000 basically, if you're going to face the champion, if you win, then 169 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.960 you get your title shot, but if you lose, you're going to absolutely 170 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.720 deny them. They're not allowed to emper challenge you as long as you're still 171 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.879 the ringing champion. I remember earlier in the match there was one slip up 172 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.080 that I saw where Cash had to redo a flip from the armhold, But 173 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.440 that was the only thing that I saw that was a little bit sloppy. 174 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.200 Beyond that, this match was almost perfect, and by the end of it, 175 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.120 I was sad that it ended. I was like, this reminds me 176 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.320 of years ago an NXT there was a match between Sammy Zane and Shinsky Nakamura, 177 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.799 and I remember seeing those two going in and hearing the crowd for the 178 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:43.080 first time, chanting fight forever and thinking, man, this is actually a 179 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.440 match that I want to see. I don't want this to end, and 180 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.720 neither to they. I feel like the crowd probably felt the same way. 181 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.679 So going through the whole match itself, I really enjoyed just the small things 182 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.480 that they did that may have seemed a little bit indie at times, but 183 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.559 you know what, it was a good and I really enjoyed seeing it. 184 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.720 Things like little dosy though they did when they were when FTR was thrown into 185 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.799 each other, it was interesting. It's something I haven't seen in a while. 186 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.399 There's a couple of great hot tags and whatnot that went on. I've 187 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.320 written down that there was an interesting knee maneuver that FTR did against Bullet Club 188 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:26.480 Gold. I believe it was Deck's grabbed Switchblade by the hair and threw him 189 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.080 into a Cash Wheeler's knees as he was holding them up while sitting on the 190 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:37.080 ropes. There was a lot of great just tag team wrestling they were going 191 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.879 in whenever the ref wasn't looking both sides. It felt like both sides were 192 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.879 taking as much advantage as possible of just stepping in the ring whenever they could 193 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.559 to help out their partner. The supplex in the corner. That looked very 194 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.559 brutal that I saw, And during this match I started to realize as well, 195 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.320 the announcers have improved greatly on the show. Did you notice that as 196 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.399 well? I feel like in the first episode of Collision they were a little 197 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.360 lackluster. Did you think that they improved some? Yeah, I think they've 198 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.799 gotten I was down the first show I did not like the announcers, but 199 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:16.039 slowly yeah, I agree, you know, but man, this match, 200 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.639 it would I think anybody could have called this match. Yeah, I agree. 201 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.320 Oh, we get your point across, Bud. Before I even start 202 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.279 into my ramble, I got one more thing to talk about real quick. 203 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.559 So eventually they started leading into the bigger moves and seeing things like the brainbuster 204 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:41.759 that was hit. God, that was perfect, high jacks, the tag 205 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.639 team superplex off the top rope, and then the splash once again from FTR. 206 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.080 It was just awesome, And I remember I'm actually sitting on the edge 207 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.200 of my chair for once again and thinking this is wrestling, and that's what 208 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.279 I was hearing the crowd chant as well, and I'm thinking, God, 209 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.440 I am so happy that I'm watching this again seeing the rebound power bomb as 210 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.559 well. It was very nice and I swear at one point looked like Jay 211 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.759 was foaming at the mouth. Both sides the great during this match. I 212 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.360 give it a nine out of ten because I loved this and it is probably 213 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.879 the best this year, and also really enjoyed the post match promo that happened 214 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.799 right after. What were you thinking, Mark Man, It's look, I'm 215 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.279 just I'm just I'm throwing my notes in the year. Uh, It's just 216 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:31.559 I can't This was a five star banner match. Everything you could ask for. 217 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:39.200 You had Juice with his left hand of God, you had sleeper supplexes, 218 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:46.080 you had everything from belly to belly supplexes to I mean just if anything 219 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:52.360 you wanted to see, and the kickouts towards the end, you kept thinking, 220 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.600 oh, I see where this is gonna. Oh, oh, I 221 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.480 see it right now. It's good. Oh. I mean they kept making 222 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.679 some some old people like me, They're going, oh I here it is, 223 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.159 I see it. And then they just kept on and on and that 224 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:11.279 was wow. Uh. And this regal pleux, I mean, just I 225 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.519 can't go through, you know, and try to keep up. It was 226 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.080 it was by far the best match I've seen this year, the best match 227 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:25.080 in AW I've seen for sure. Uh. I was not the greatest Switchblade 228 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.600 fan, but after this match, I've changed my opinion. I don't know 229 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.440 any other way to put it. Uh, definitely, uh. You know, 230 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:38.200 of course the winner was the Bullet Club Gold. Uh. And I 231 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:42.159 don't know how they could even top it, but they did. When not 232 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.399 top it, but then they come back, like you said, with that 233 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:52.120 promo. And I'm really becoming a big fan of Juice. I just really 234 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:59.120 his hair. He uh, just everything about him screams U seventies wrestler. 235 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.519 To me, he's a throwback, not too big, not too muscular, 236 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.640 but he's gonna throw his arms up like he is. Uh. And what's 237 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:14.000 he called? He has the Juice Box. Yeah, what can you ask 238 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.680 for? I mean? And the promo afterwards. Uh. And there was 239 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.200 a lot of hands shaking in the show, you know, and shaking, 240 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.000 and I kept waiting for it and it will get to it, but it 241 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.200 finally catches up to someone. But yeah, the whole match good. The 242 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.160 after promo and poor Sean Spears. They put a promo with Shan Spears and 243 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.759 Christian in between. Uh and I guess, I guess in writing, I 244 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.119 guess that makes sense. Uh, but you know, it was a good 245 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.440 little promo with Shan Spears and and Christian before that. And then of course 246 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:52.279 though the two out of three falls next week, U the FDR and Bullet 247 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.359 Club are gonna have for the belts And uh what did what did they call 248 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:02.680 him? Fuzzy Wuzzy's They called Das Fuzzy Wuzzy. I couldn't remember what he 249 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.880 called cash Wheeler, but there was some other nickname for him. I believe 250 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:11.000 as well. You gotta love somebody that walks out, calls you fuzzy wuzzy 251 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.880 and then shapes your hand. I'm not buying a used car from them, 252 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.640 I can tell you that. But yeah, fuzzy wuzzy, all right. 253 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:27.480 And then after that, in this John Spears promo, we've got Scorpio Sky 254 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:33.319 and Action Andrette. He say, I didn't say it that way, but 255 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.519 yeah, man, Scorpio Sky I thought, look great. Uh looked like 256 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:44.240 a seasoned veteran and like somebody that they could really build off of. And 257 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.799 even the end of the match he did the class move and just man, 258 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.400 I loved I'm a Scorpio Sky fan. What about you, my friend, 259 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.920 So I'm also a fan of Scorpio Sky. This match it felt a little 260 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.680 bit slow at the start, and then I realized why because we just finished 261 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:06.240 up FTR versus Bullet Clip Gold and how can you follow that up? That's 262 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:07.720 got to be such a hard weight on their shoulders. But it was a 263 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.039 good match overall. It was solid. Actually on the day, I feel 264 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.000 like or Andretti. I believe it's how it's pronounced for him. I believe 265 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.839 he is good, but I kind of feel like he would excel right now 266 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.839 as a tag team if we can find somebody similar to him, you know 267 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.640 what I mean, there's just everyone once while there's one of those guys who 268 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.079 he's doing good. It's just I feel like as a tag team he would 269 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:34.200 do a little bit better for some reason, like a Bobby Eaton, he's 270 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:41.000 just universal stick him into a tag team maybe. Yeah. During the match, 271 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.480 I thought the Spanish fly that Andretti hit it was absolutely beautiful, pitch 272 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:52.920 perfect. Scorpio Si Scorpio Sky sold it pretty well. Yeah. I thought 273 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.640 that Scorpio Sky as well. When he came into this match, he looked 274 00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:00.319 telfy. I think he definitely bulked up some. And yeah, at the 275 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.240 end of it, both parties looked good. There was you know, Scorbias 276 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.440 Sky doing the honorable thing and shaking his opponent's hand before walking out. It 277 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.079 definitely helps out with him as a face. Yeah, I feel like at 278 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.400 the end of this match, nobody's getting buried, nobody's you know, being 279 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.759 raised up too much. I feel like this is going to be a slow, 280 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.559 gradual build and it's gonna work for both of them in the ends, 281 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.799 but for Scorbius Sky is just gonna be a little bit faster. Yeah. 282 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.960 Yeah, And I do think uh Sky's bolt up a little bit since him. 283 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.160 I hadn't thought about that, but since you brought that up, I 284 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:37.480 agree with you. And yeah, that class move at the end so makes 285 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.160 him look like the gentleman, and I'm sure he is. But hey, 286 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.440 we get another we get another one man, And it's unusual to have two 287 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:52.640 or three really solid matches on a card, and it's just it's just pure 288 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:57.640 accidents alone. It's hard to put on some shows like they did last night. 289 00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:06.920 But yeah, we get to Samoa Joe and mister Collision Cimpunk Uh coming 290 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.759 out and even the whole thing had a different feel, but he kept dropping 291 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.680 those little pipe bombs, kind of like where I'm gonna give it my full 292 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.519 effort or I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna leave it all in the ring, 293 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.839 and even his opening monologue when he came out and did his little interview 294 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.960 at the at the first of the show, it was a little different, 295 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:32.079 uh, you know, he sounded a little old school punk and then a 296 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:36.400 little uh water down punk too, but you know, still, it was 297 00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.440 a good, great match, And I'll let you take it from here, 298 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.480 man, and I'll come back in on the back end there, brother. 299 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.519 So I enjoyed this match a lot, uh, knowing about the rivalry, 300 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:51.279 and I have been following these two guys careers since I basically got into wrestling. 301 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.200 I remember growing up watching Samoa Joe in TNA and CM Punk being in 302 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.079 WWE on the other end, and to me it was almost like just compute 303 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.359 companies, just watching back and forth and thinking, man, these two guys 304 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.400 would have had a great match together. A little did I know they already 305 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.599 had an ROH a couple of years prior. I just didn't know about that. 306 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:12.960 I haven't really seen ROH yet. So at the beginning, it felt 307 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:17.160 like there was some feet of strength style and of course Joe was winning, 308 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:22.319 makes perfect sense. And then they said something at one point during the match, 309 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.200 the announcers dude, they said that Samoa Joe used to spar with ya 310 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.480 who was it Ortiz from a UFC. That confused me a little bit, 311 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.039 thinking about It's like, I wonder how true this is. I need to 312 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.279 do some research. If anybody just knows for sure, you'll free semi message 313 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.240 or whatever. And then watching during the crossbody that CM punk was trying to 314 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:48.359 hit, it looked really good the way that that whole transition happened, seeing 315 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.279 CM punk jump off and Joe kind of doing a heal thing, just looking 316 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.160 up walking away like, no, you're not going to hit this on me 317 00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:00.079 today. Joe used his size to bully Punk around very well. Sampunk was 318 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:07.599 selling very well as well. And then there's one point did Sampunk bite his 319 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.039 tongue or something because there's just a random amount of blood coming out of nowhere? 320 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.640 Did you see that? Yeah? I saw that, and the announcer 321 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.519 just said, you know, he spotted it down. Then when they when 322 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.519 the blood got on his tape, he said something about it. But I'm 323 00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.240 not sure, you know, it could have been one of those little needs 324 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.000 that he took or that. No, it was a punch just before that, 325 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:32.000 so it was probably either the punch or the fall right right. And 326 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:37.079 I also wrote down that it was interesting to see Punk doing some high flying 327 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.839 stuff more than his normal amount. It felt like he was going to the 328 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:45.319 top rope and they're kind of playing into Sampunk size. He needs something extra 329 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.079 here. He's running around more, he's jumping off of things to try to 330 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.400 get more of a hit on Samoa Joe, and it makes sense to me. 331 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.480 Something I also did write down that also had to do with Sampunk's promo 332 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.559 in the beginning. I didn't really speak much on this, but is a 333 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:07.039 Ew kind of kissing Canada's butt right now? With all this Owen Hart stuff? 334 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.240 Are they trying to really brown those with Canada's audience to make them really 335 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.079 want to see more of this and to get them more involved in the show, 336 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.119 because I heard them chanting oh and Hart multiple times throughout the show, 337 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.839 and it just makes me wonder, is this a new tactic of theirs. 338 00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:26.039 Are they kind of just really trying to make Canada be over on aw? 339 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:29.559 What do you think about that. Well, you know, Punk did bring 340 00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:34.400 it up for the crowd to say to chant oh and Hart, so I 341 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:38.400 think that was some of the part of hearing that. But yeah, they 342 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:44.400 did. There was some suckage going on there. I do that to agree 343 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:48.119 with you and not to downplay the match, because the match was good. 344 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.079 It was a I mean, if we didn't see what we saw, we 345 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.319 have FDR and Bullet Club. I would say this was by far the best 346 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:03.000 match of the night. But yeah, they they were definitely bringing up the 347 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.759 Canada and every time they could, they were bringing up Owen Heart, which 348 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.720 you know, God bless him and his family, you know, but you 349 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:17.039 know it did sound a little funny. Uh. And but the match, 350 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.079 man, the match was great. Uh. You know, you're right. 351 00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:25.160 Punk was jumping off stuff and we did not. The first time Punk went 352 00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:27.000 to jump, all I could think about was the sting jump. I was 353 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.480 like, oh, no, old man, the old man of Top. 354 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.559 I was like, no, please, But Punk pulled it off and pulled 355 00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.880 it off, and we didn't see an old man going into a table that 356 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:47.680 doesn't move. Uh. And so yeah, you know, with a Punk 357 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:52.000 got to bully him around and show at the end that he well, at 358 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:53.839 the end, he's over there holler and what was it? I've always been 359 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.640 better than you? So it stills. Yes, there's still gonna be a 360 00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:03.559 storyline there, you know. I mean it's because of the oh man, 361 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:04.920 you beat me, so let me shake your hand. And there again, 362 00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:08.119 like I mentioned earlier, a lot of handshaking going on, but this time 363 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:15.640 it played out because it ends up in a choke hold and we get a 364 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.000 good a good ending, and then of course he's gonna do what he did 365 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:25.680 too. What was it Roderick Strong last week? You know they put him 366 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.599 out supposedly, so he looks like he's gonna take that angle and then FDR 367 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:36.000 does the running and the saved and then they they ended with the stars, 368 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.359 you know, standing up there looking out. So I kind of liked the 369 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.000 little twist, you know, a little twist at the end there. What 370 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:47.000 do you think? Yeah, I really liked that aftermath because it shows like, 371 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.480 okay, they were partners what a couple of weeks ago, and they 372 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:55.240 were you know, on screen friends at this point, but now they're gonna 373 00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:56.680 have to go against each other. It kind of seemed like the starts want 374 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.640 to run down to potentially help. Where is he just im up his opponent 375 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.960 right now? Maybe a little bit of both, who knows. But the 376 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.680 one thing that I also did write down about the end of the match was 377 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.960 it was a roll up finish in a way. That's something that you know, 378 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.359 me and the Gardener we kind of feel strongly about when you see it 379 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.720 a lot. This one felt okay. This is the first time I've really 380 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.839 seen it in a w and I wrote under there as a note, please 381 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.599 don't let it become a habit. Aw. I don't want to see a 382 00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.519 million roll up finishes for these big matches. This was fine. They had 383 00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.880 a good enough match, and yeah, as well as for Joe doing the 384 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.359 heel thing at the end, it works for his character. We're going to 385 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.319 see a great storyline after. I'm excited to see where this goes next. 386 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:44.759 Always love seeing Joe and Punk as wealth. Yeah. I like the roll 387 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.480 up in this situation because he set the roll up up with him not being 388 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:53.759 able to get him up for the GTS, so you know it's you know 389 00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:59.200 what I mean? The roll up looked okay in this situation because his knee 390 00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.960 is supposedly out, he can't pick the big guy, but he can roll 391 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:04.839 them up and and and he didn't. I don't think aiden put the angle 392 00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:08.000 out of him holding the tights. That would have been good, that would 393 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:12.839 have given him a little something extra to add on to. But man, 394 00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.200 overall, man, this was a great freaking show. And I hate that 395 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.400 Michael and Rocky uh that you know they had those rls. Man. Uh, 396 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.799 they got to get out there and do what they gotta do. So 397 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.920 hopefully next week we can get them back in and get their opinion on this. 398 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.200 But what did you think of overall? Show? Show? Overall was 399 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:41.799 very good. I was enjoying myself watching. The one thing I kind of 400 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.480 started wondering about after the tag match was over was did this run longer because 401 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:51.000 they didn't have a women's match lined up because of Willow's injury or was this 402 00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:56.880 just planned the whole time? That's that's interesting. Actually, Uh yeah, 403 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.039 I wonder if that could have changed. Uh, you know, I don't 404 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:04.519 know. That's that's that's a good point because they could have told the guys, 405 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.119 you know, we need you to go, you know, an extra 406 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:12.759 seven or something. Who knows, that'll be something that we'll have to read 407 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.519 them down the road and right right. But yeah, so watching through it, 408 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.839 it's very fun to watch. Uh. We didn't really cover too much 409 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.799 of the Licosaurus and h Christian Cage uh promo there, but uh when I 410 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.319 put in my notes, was I just write them as Lucia Cage. At 411 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.799 this point, I think that it's really being some summed up now by something 412 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:40.200 that Christian Cage said that you know, it was a scripted slip up saying 413 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.160 you will know about my hour title reign, and feeling that's the best way 414 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.920 to sum it up at this point is my slash hour rain. Yeah, 415 00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:53.279 yeah, it was. Yeah, it's it's definitely complete and and if that 416 00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.920 they just had to put that into the show after a five star match, 417 00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.960 and and it just got covered up in the same way with the Sean Spears 418 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.119 promote. I thought his was a good spot on him. So yeah, 419 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.640 it's just it's it's kind of hard after you've been breathing hard wait for that 420 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.640 finish to that other match, and then they just throw that in there. 421 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.039 You kind of look over it a little bit, but boo, all right, 422 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.720 well, uh well what did you get anything else? You got anything 423 00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.759 you want to plug or anything you want to throw out there? Didn't anybody, 424 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.920 Oh right, So I want to give a shout out. So one 425 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.440 of my best friends growing up the same was Eric Winchell. I just wanted 426 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:37.920 to remind you, man, you and I used to actually have like a 427 00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:42.799 backyard wrestling matches and stuff. And I remember, for my mom had this 428 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.359 giant fence dog cage, so I think we used to have our quote unquote 429 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.680 cage matches back there. We had our own stupid rules for it. We 430 00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:52.960 would try to like climb the cage and everything because it was a good like 431 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.359 ten feet tall. It was just a giant metal fence in our backyard really 432 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.119 that went up against another fence. Remember, we just used to have the 433 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.680 most fun watching wrestling and then trying to be wrestlers. And then that leads 434 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:08.160 to my next shout out being to my uncle Tim because I remember, I 435 00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.599 think it was like eight or nine years old. He started showing me how 436 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.839 to hit certain wrestling moves because he was a wrestler in the Indies for a 437 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.640 little bit, and he was starting to show me how to do like a 438 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.359 flying hitsers and how to do monkey flips. And he tell me, like 439 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.079 I was hitting the flying hitsters is perfectly and he really really helped me with 440 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.480 inspiring me and bringing me into this. So yeah, I just want to 441 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.400 say thank you. And I don't think he really understands how much that really 442 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.079 meant to me as a kid. Yeah, what about you, Mark, 443 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.400 You got anybody to hit up while you're on the air here with me? 444 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:42.599 Man, I'll tell you what. It's the same old, same old with 445 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.400 me. It's just my ending and take care of the pets out there. 446 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.240 But ma'am, I believe we've done it. I think we have done another 447 00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:57.519 an update or a you know, a little review of collision for seven eight, 448 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:01.759 and I think we've done as well, just just ended here. What 449 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:06.519 do you think there, Bud? Yeah? I agree, Man, anybody 450 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.920 out there listening, you can reach me at a maintenance mav on Twitter. 451 00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:13.599 Hit me up.
