This was quite the come doown episode of aw Dynamite tonight, coming off of
Blood and Guts last week, we saw the Elite beat the Blackpool Combat Club,
an episode I thought was very enjoyable. They did move some stories along,
but at the end of the day when the show was over, it
still felt like a filler episode to me. It feels like one of those
episodes where if you missed it, it come back to it next week.
You didn't really miss much. Although our Fox is a heel now are Fox,
who doesn't appear very often on Dynamite. He was in a match tonight
and now he's a heel. Now he's part of the Mogul embassy. So
that was one of the bigger things that happened on the show that should give
you an indication here of how important the show was here tonight. It was
very odd to me though, that coming on Blood and Guts, the Elite
got a big win last week that they would not have the Elite on the
show, but the Blackpool Combat Club who lost, they were all over the
show. They were in backstage mints, they were running out at the end
of other people's matches, they were in the main event tonight, So they
were all over the place tonight, but no Elite on the show. But
the bigger thing is this, you know, now the blood and guts is
out of the way and there is There are still several weeks to go until
we get to Wembley Stadium, but the next big AW show is all in.
They're gonna have eighty thousand plus people in Wembley Stadium. It's going to
be the biggest show this company has ever done, right, the biggest show,
literally, the biggest show of this company has ever produced. And you
would think that at this point. Now we are now in late July.
The show is from tomorrow, exactly one month away, and then they have
a second pay per view a week later, which is all out. But
you would think starting this week we would get an indication of how to see
the show. Now we have a pretty good sense of how to see the
show because word leaked a few weeks ago, but still nothing AW. As
far as we know, it's a pay per view, but AW still has
not said anything. We don't know how to watch the show. We don't
know any of the matches that are on the show. We can begin to
see a picture forming about what matches might take place on that show. We
had, for example, a comment made by MJF tonight that he is going
to give Adam Cole a shot at the AW World Championship because he knows how
much it means to Adam Cole. It would stand to reason they would do
that match at all in but nothing has been officially announced yet, so that
to me was the most kind of the most I guess surprising thing coming out
of the show is that I would have expected some kind of announcement to start
to get people excited, really excited for that show, and there was nothing.
Again, we can piece together what may or may not be happening on
that show, but if you were waiting for the first announcement of anything all
in related, nothing nothing on the show. I guess we'll have to wait
for next week. Next week is actually going to be the two hundredth episode
of Dynamite, so they're promoting that as a big deal. But this is
your AW Dynamite review for July twenty six, two twenty three. I am
the Solemn Monster. They kicked the show off as they have many times before
this year, with Orange Cassidy defending his International championship this time it was against
ar Fox. We had a video package on the history between Darby Allen and
ar Fox, and it would become clear later in the show why they were
setting this up with a video package even though Darby Allen he was not part
of this match. But if you remember last week he went to bat for
ar Fox. You went to Orange Cassidy and said, look, do me
a solid. This guy he helped train me. He gave me a place
to live when I was homeless and I had nowhere to go and I was
coming up in the business. Give him a shot at your international championship.
That's why we got this match on this show tonight. So in the video
again, Darby is explaining that he was living in his car. He was
training at the time with r Fox, and Fox found out that Darby was
living in his car and he said, look, you're gonna come stay with
me. Rent Free didn't even charge him or anything, so he gave him
a place to live. He goes, that's the kind of person that ar
Fox is. It's kind of like a cmpunk buying Joey who is it Joey
Mercury? Right, he bought his house, He bought Joey Mercury's house.
Anyway, he was. He was very kind to Darby. Darby never forgot
that he said that there might not be a Darby Allen today. We're not
for aar Fox. And this is a really good opener. I thought it
was a really good opening match for the finish. Fox missed the top rowe
four fifty. Looked like he maybe tweaked his ankle. It was part of
the match. I don't think he tweaked it for real, but that allowed
Cassidy to wrench at it, get the mouse trap, and he got the
wind to retain his championship as he has done twenty six times previously. This
was titled Defense number twenty seven for Orange Cassidy and he remains the International Champion
as he will I'm sure for many years to come. I mean, the
run that this guy is on, he's gonna end up having a Roman Reins
run as the International Champion. So when the match is over, he takes
his sunglasses and he puts them on Ar Fox and they're posing together in the
ring and it's this happy moment and with Orange Cassidy looking straight ahead at the
crowd or the hard camera whatever, he was looking at his guys back turned
to AAR Fox and we see ar Fox take off the sunglasses and he snaps
them in half, and when Orange Cassidy turns around, ar Fox blasted him
in the face with a forearm shot. As Fox went to go leave,
Darby Allen walks out and he's pissed and he very angrily confronts Fox on the
ramp. He shoves him, what are you doing? I went to bat
for you. I got you this match, says I vouch for you,
and A. R. Fox didn't really have an answer. He kind of
threw his hands up in the air and he walked away. We cut back,
so that was, you know, mildly interesting. You wonder where is
this going? Of course you put two and two together. You know,
Darby is wrestling Swerve later in the show, and you should have seen where
this was going. They cut back to the ring at Orange Cassidy. He's
trying to get back to his feet, trying to shake off what has happened,
and they have a tight camera shot and they're lingering on him. So
that's a sign right there. Somebody is about to attack, right We don't
know who, but somebody clearly is about to attack, and then you hear
the crowd kind of rising, so you know somebody is coming. We can't
see who it is. Somebody who attacked was John Moxley, and he attacked
Cassidy. He laid him out with a death rider. Moxley attacked Cassidy.
As far as why why would he do this after the Ring of Honor World
title match. I know not everybody watches Ring of Honor. I'd barely watch
Ring of Honor, but their pay per views are usually excellent. So I
did see the two main events from Death before Dishonor last week, both of
which were excellent. Claudio defended his title against Pack and in the main event
on that show, the first ever women's main event for a Ring of Honor
pay per view, I think a Ring of Honor major show ever. Athena
retained her women's championship over Willow Nightingale. Willow has been on a nice little
run for herself recently, even winning the new Japan Strong Women's title before she
dropped it to Julia. Would have been nice to see her on the show
tonight. We'll talk about the women in the sign later of the show.
But he attacked Cassidy because after the Claudio match when he retained with an assist
from Utah, a bunch of people ran in. Lucha Brothers ran in,
they were getting beaten down. Best Friends in Orange Cassidy ran in, and
Orange Cassidy gave Claudio an Orange punch. So this was payback for what he
did to Claudio after the ROH title match last week. That combined with the
fact that later in the show we were getting Moxley and Claudio as tag team
partners against the Luca Brothers and the best Friends. Orange Cassidy obviously is connected
to the best Friends, and so that's why Moxley ran out and did what
he did. So that was the opening segment. You know that the post
matches with the post matches, but the match itself I thought was very good.
We go backstage and Renee is with Chris Jericho and Don Callous. After
Callous requested this time to speak with Jericho, he said, no pressure.
He's trying not to pressure Jericho into making a decision about whether or not he's
going to join the Callous family. But he's taken the liberty, he says,
of arranging a tag team match where Chris Jericho, we'll be tag team
partners with Cano Skate Takesha and Jericho said, sure, yeah, I'm willing
to give it a try. Why not, Callis said, the best part
are your opponents. Your opponents are going to be Sammy Gavara and Daniel Garcia.
Of course Sammy and Daniel are part of the Jas. So Jericho was
taken aback by this development, and Callis reminded him that he said, you
know, you did say you wanted to see these guys spread their wings on
their own. So Don Callis had one more surprise for Chris Jericho. He
said that he had a gift for it, and this was he said,
Now, if you remember a few weeks ago when the two of them were
in the ring together, they pitched it up to the tron and they showed
footage of the Tony Condello Show from Canada back in ninety five, when a
very young Don Callis and Jericho were in the same promotion together. They were
in the rain with Ben I Think bad News. Allen was there, so
in tribute to that, he presented a painting to Chris Jericho. He had
a painting commission. Now this is not the first time that we've seen this
because there was a painting of Callus and Omega, if you remember that one.
So he had a painting commission of the two of them shirtless, with
a smiling Bad News Allen in the background hovering above them. This is not
true to life. Bad News Allen was smiling in the painting. When was
the last time you saw Bad News Allen Crackers smile? I never did.
I don't think I ever saw that man smile once, and all the times
I saw him on TV, Jericho appreciated the gesture. He said, though
it's really big, though, and Callous told them, don't worry about at
it. I've got the perfect place for it, and he walked off.
Might as well move to Chicago. Now, I think I'll stay in New
York. I'm gonna move. I'm gonna get out of the city. I'm
not gonna move to another another city with all kinds of noise and crime and
pollution. I'm I'm gonna go somewhere completely different, somewhere where there isn't snow.
Ideally it would be someplace where there isn't really a winter to speak of.
So I'll leave your suggestions in the chat. Claudio and Utah were in
the back, who had another backstage segment. Here they cut a PSA telling
us telling kids not to play with fire and telling the kids in aw not
to mess with the Blackpool Combat Club. Claudio said the beating that Pack suffered
a death before Dishonor is nothing compared to what he would get when they crossed
paths again, and he made it very clear that the issues between them were
only just beginning. John Moxley then walked in. He gave a warning to
the Luca bros And best friends, who he said, we'll pay four Pack's
mistake. So again, already only if a couple of segments into the show,
and it's like the Blackpool Combat Club, Like what the Judgment Day is
the WWE right now is what the Blackpool Combat Club was on this show tonight.
They were all over the place. Tony Schavani was in the ring to
introduce the brand new ft W champion Jack Perry, who walked out to Beethoven
with a hook T shirt. Now, Hook has a T shirt literally just
says the word hook on it. You've seen that shirt before probably, but
on the shirt that Jungle Boy was wearing, it had the word hook.
But then the words I beat in orange orange lettering right above it, so
it said I beat Hook. So he gets into the ring, and this
was weird because it felt like they were expecting this reaction to be more,
well, they were expecting this reaction to be louder than it was. I
think they were expecting him to come out and get like Dominic Mysterio level heat
or you know, Dan Lambert level heat, and he really didn't. It
was actually pretty quiet, and it was almost like at the beginning of the
promo they were trying to coax the booze out of the crowd. So I
don't quite think that they were reacting in the way that maybe they wanted to
or wanted the fans to. But he said he beat Hook, and then
he realized after that first loss, Hook realized that he can't hang with the
big boys. And when he said he was going to win himself a championship,
he said, he's sure as hell wasn't talking about this one. Tony
Shirvanni made a comment on here about you must be happy now you talked about
winning a world championship. I said, did he win a world championship recently?
And I missed it? Because that ain't no fucking world championship. So
I don't know what the hell he was saying. He was a world tag
team champion, that was a long time ago, but he's no world champion
now. I have no idea what Tony was referring to there. He said,
this title, the FTW title, was created in a second class company.
It's never been recognized, but as soon as he put his hands on
it, it became the real deal. He said, He's the greatest wrestler
to ever get within a hundred feet of this thing, and then he grabbed
the mic away from Chavanni. He looked over at Taz, who was hitting
on stage at the announced desk, and he told him that he would run
circles around him and all of his dirt bag friends back in the day.
Can you imagine Jungle Boy in the original ECW. They would eat him alive.
He would eat this kid alive and leave a little bit for dessert at
the end of the night. I'm trying to a picture like a baby face.
Actually, maybe a heel would be even better. Baby Face or a
heel Jack Perry. This pretty boy coming into ECW at the ECW Arena back
in the day. So he tells Tazia he would run circles around him and
all of his friends and right on Q As he says this, who should
come walking out but Jerry Lynn, former ECW World Heavyweight Champion who works behind
the scenes as an agent or a producer in AW. Jerry Lynn walks out
and he's got a mic in his hand, and he gets in the ring
and he says, in ECW they pave the way for this younger generation.
He told Jack to keep running his mouth and he will get his ass kicked.
And Jack said that he would like to see it, and so Jerry
drops the mic. We got a mic drop from Jerry Lynn, and Jack
says, look, I'm obviously not dressed for a fight. He was wearing,
you know, basically like a tank top in shorts. Obviously, he
says, I'm not dressed for a fight. So they're gonna do this on
his time, He says, he said, how about next week you come
down to my ring and we'll see who gets their ass kicked. I thought
this was a very lame segment. I just didn't work for me. It
didn't work for me. I don't think they got the kind of heat they
were hoping for at the beginning of it, But you know, Jerry Lynn
coming out and I don't know, I just thought this came off very lame.
Now, Jerry Lynn is one of the better in ring workers of his
generation. The matches he had with RVD Art some of the best matches in
ECW history. The work that Jerry Lynn did even in WCW back in the
Mister j L Days, right, no one will doubt what kind of talent
that Jerry Lynn is. But he also hasn't wrestled in ten years. He
has retirement match in twenty thirteen, and he just didn't interview as a matter
of fact, earlier this year, only a matter of months ago. It
was one of these virtual signings, and he said that while he would love
to have one more match, it cannot happen. It cannot happen, it
will not happen. His neck will not allow it. He's got permanent nerve
damage. So anybody expecting an actual match next week is going to be very
disappointed because we are not going to get an actual match between these two.
It'll be more of an angle. I mean, look, that's why later
in the show, when they were hyping this up, they're hyping it up
now is a face to face. They specifically said face to face, So
at the end of this segment, you would think we're getting a match next
week, but then they made it clear that it's not going to be a
match because he can't take bumps. Maybe he can get pushed, he can
get shoved, but Jerry Lynn can't take bumps. He can't have a match,
So it'll probably be more of an angle, probably with Hook you know,
running out and chasing jack Off and jack Off swear it didn't do that
on purpose, but that probably is what's going to happen next week, and
we'll see. We'll see if it's just a one off with Jerry Lynn or
they're going to start trotting out a whole bunch of DCW legends to you know,
try to defend the honor or VCW like we haven't seen that before and
come out and go face to face with Jack. I mean, they have
other people. I don't know that there are very many left, and the
ones that are I think are tied up elsewhere, either the WWE Legends deals,
there were an Impact Wrestling or these other places, you know, Tommy
Dreamer and people like that because otherwise who's left, you know, like,
who's left? R VD is the biggest name I could think of. Yeah,
I could see them maybe working at a deal to bring in RVD for
a one shot RVD against the Jungle Boy maybe. I mean, who else
is there? You got Taji could always fly him in. You got Saboo.
We already saw him. He came in for that quick payday a few
months ago. Tony CON's a huge sab boom mark. If he paid Saboo
enough, I'm sure Sabo would come in and he would do a match.
I don't want to see it, so I don't know. I don't know
if this is going to be a recurring theme with more or ECW names being
brought in. But as far as this segment goes, I just thought this
segment came off pretty lame. So then we had Pack against the man who
forgot him Gravity. I'm convinced that this match was booked just so people can
make that stupid joke. The only reason this match was booked. Gravity,
for those who don't know, was the younger brother of Bandido, former Ring
of Honor world champion, who had surgery recently for a broken wrist. So
we're not going to see him for a while. Pac tried to at the
beginning of this he tried to reintroduce himself to gravity because, for those who
don't know, for years, Pack was referred to back even in his nevel
days in WWE, is the man that Gravity forgot, So he was trying
to reintroduce himself to gravity here at the beginning of this match, before they
finally started actually wrestling. This is where Tas briefly on commentary serenaded us with
a very brief rendition of John Mayer's gravity, which is something I was not
expecting. By the way, somebody mentioned Landstorm in the chat. Landstorm works
for Impact Wrestling. Landstorm is a producer behind the scenes for Impact, so
he would be unavailable. He would be a good choice, but he would
be unavailable. Nice try, though I said this. Fewer and fewer of
them. Most of them have died off. Think about all the big ECW
names and the ECW originals that were left right, A lot of them died.
Some of them aren't even I mean, I don't know what Spike Dudley
is up to these days. He'd be about jungle Boy Size could always bring
in him little Guido. I mean, who are they who are they going
to bring in? If not an RVD or a Sabu, Right, t
Taz could do an angle, I don't. I mean Taz is never going
to do a match. Would Taz get in the ring and go face to
face with Jungle Boy? With Taz, you know, get physical and take
a bump. I don't know that he would take a bump because his neck
is also fucked. Every one of their necks is fucked. That's all they
did an ECW was they killed themselves. It's amazing that they could even walk
on their own two feet. So again, you have a very small pool
of a Sandman. Don't don't, don't even get me started. Sandman.
Yeah, that's that's what we need on this show. We need the fucking
Sandman on dynamite. That's that's the last thing we need. Anyway. After
Taz's stirring rendition of John Mere, they cut to the Blackpool Combat Club.
They were watching the match from their locker room, paying very close attention.
Both men went to the top pack, connected with an Avalanche brainbuster and won
the match with his brutalizer submission. Uh, look, we got some fancy
footwork here from gravity. I've seen enough fancy footwork recently from the likes of
VIKINGO and Commanders, so what I saw here from Gravity was nothing out of
the ordinary. But this was mostly a dominant showing for Pack to get him
back in the win column after last week he walked out of the Blood and
Guts match he lost the claudio at Death before Dishonor, so this is a
way to get him back in the wind column this week. Now. I
was looking forward to seeing what they were going to do on this show with
MJF and Adam Cole because they have been the most entertaining part of the show
now for weeks, and unfortunately, all we got from them this week was
a nothing live and there were no funny skits or anything like that. We
just got a backstage segment with Renee from last week. We were told they
weren't even there live tonight, So in the back last week with Renee,
we got an interview because they're going to be challenging FTR in the aw World
Tag Team titles on Collision this Saturday. They won the blind Eliminator tournament last
week that gave them the right to challenge for the tag team title. So
that's coming up this weekend. So Renee is back there with them. Cole
goes to speak and MJF immediately cuts him off and said ftr's peak was during
the Pinnacle, because if you remember, they were all part of the Pinnacle
together. It was MJF, it was Wardlow, What the hell happened to
that guy? By the way, it was FTR, it was Sean Spears
and Tully Blanchard. They had a good thing going with the Pinnacle. I
don't even remember how it all ended. I think it just it just ended.
There was no real conclusion to it, so there's a ball dropped.
But he said that was their peak. Their peak was during the Pinnacle.
And then MJF mocked Dax Harwood by calling him mister Clean and Yosemite Sam,
and then he mocked him for repeatedly saying that he loves the business, and
he loves his wife and he loves his daughter. And he did a great
I'm not even going to attempt to do it, but he did a great
Dax Harwood accent during this promo that you should go listen to. He said
that he would punch Hardwood so hard that he would spit out Cmpunk's jockstrap,
which is the first time we've heard MJF acknowledge the name Cmpunk on television.
Since cmpunk came back. We've heard Punk mention him, even indirectly, a
couple of times on Collisions so far, but this is the first MJF mentioned
of Punk since he came back. Adam Cole said never in a million years
did he expect that he would be friends with MJF. And he said he
has nothing to worry about as far as him touching the aw World title the
way he did after the match last week. That's what got MJF so upset
when he turned around and he saw Cole holding his championship and all of a
sudden it looked like things are going to fall apart between these two. He
told him he got nothing to worry about as far as that goes. Cole
said that when the tag team tournament began, it was all about winning the
goal. Cole said, it's become now about friendship. He told m JF
that he has oh. He told him JF rather that not only did he
find a friend in him and a close friend. He considers MJF to be
one of his very best friends. We already have best friends in this company,
but he's talking about an actual best friend. MJF. He was taken
aback by this, and he said, you know what, when loser draw,
he wants Adam Cole to know that he's going to give him a rematch.
He's going to give him a shot at the AW World champion It's not
really a rematch, right Their first match was an eliminator match, I believe,
But he's going to give him a match for the AW World Heavyweight Championship
because he knows how much it means to Adam Cole. So this was a
little twist that I was not expected. We all knew what the destination was
going to be. We all know that at the end of all this,
and I hope they can keep this going for a long time. It would
be nice for Tony Khan to extend end this out as long as possible because
it's just been an entertaining part of the show and I would hate for him
to prematurely blow the whole thing up. But we know how this ends.
Whoever's the baby face, whoever's the heel. We know that these two were
eventually going to meet either at all in or all out, and they're going
to have a match for the championship. But I was not expecting MJF to
volunteer a title shot to Adam Cole, So that was that was a surprise.
As soon as he says this, though, Roderick Strong storms in,
still in his neck brace, which is quickly becoming his de low brown chess
protector is what this neck brace is fast becoming for Roderick Strong, and he
shoved m JF and mj it was so quick and it was like such a
commotion. Maybe some people didn't didn't hear him say this. I heard him
say this though, and this this was my favorite part of the entire show.
So after Roddy pushes him, MJF looks at him and he calls Roderick
Strong a default call. Fine, I love that line. I fucking I
almost fucking died he called him a default call. And the reason it's so
funny is because it's true. It's true. If you got to go into
two K twenty three or whatever, any wrestling game and go create a wrestler,
and you'll see someone that probably looks like Roderick Strong, and if you
wanted to point to some big thing he's done so far in the time he's
been in this company, which hasn't been that long. But he really,
I mean, the biggest thing I can think of is he had the false
count Anywhere match with Chris Jericho that I love dun Dynamite right, he beat
Jericho outside the building. Otherwise, I can't tell you a single fucking thing
this guy has done since he came to this company. A default call every
time I see him. Now, that's the first thing I'm gonna think of
this guy is a default at a wrestler in a video game. So Roddy
told Cole, look, you can't trust this guy, and Cole told m
JF, you know, let me talk to Roddy. So it was just
the two of them, and Cole told him that he loves him like a
brother, but Roddy is acting crazy and he's pushing him away, and that
was basically how the segment ended. So we got the great line from MJF
and we got the again surprising, I think, twist of him offering a
title match to Adam Cole. So now the question is, you know,
where do they go from here? Where are they going with this because there
are a lot of different possibilities for how this could go down. Even if
we know where the destination is, we don't know what route they're going to
take. Right the GPS might tell you three or four different ways you can
go. There are probably three or four different ways that they could go with
this story. The most predictable sort of straight line that they could go in
would be to have MJF turn not Adam Cole at the end of all this,
like he's convinced Cole that he's genuine and how he feels about him,
and then, like Rick Flair turning on Sting back in the day as he
did many times, he lowers the boom no pun intentive for Adam Cole and
we get the title match out of it, right, or or just the
simple turn one guy turns on the other. Right. But Roddy is the
wildcard here because clearly whatever is going to happen is going to involve him.
They're not involving him in these segments every week like this unless there's going to
be some kind of big payoff involving Roderick Strong. The obvious thing for me,
we have a big tag team title match coming up on Saturday. Roddy
obviously doesn't trust them JF. He obviously doesn't believe that Adam Cole can see
what's going on here. So Roderick Strong is going to cost them the tag
team titles on Saturday because I still feel FTR is going to win. How
are they going to win though? Is there going to be a clean win?
It's going to be a miss communication between MJF and Cole because it's still
too early to break them up. You know, they have a miscommunication during
the match. That's where it all falls apart. But what if Roderick Strong
gets involved, Even if it's just a distraction, it probably would be something
as simple as a distraction Roddy, what are you doing here? Get out
of here? And Adam Cole turns around, walks right into a shatter machine
and gets pinned. That's the kind of finish I see going down on Saturday.
So FTR retains and then it kind of pushes the story forward involving these
three, including Roddy. If that doesn't happen, then he may end up
costing Adam call the World Championship when MJF eventually gives him that title match you
promised him it'll be Roderick Strong who ends up costing Adam Cole. Or maybe
there's a big twist at the end and instead of costing Adam Cole, he
actually helps Adam Cole beat MJF to win the championship. And then we find
out you are never my best friend, You're a fucking sline ball. We
were playing you this entire time, and we get a double turn with MJF
actually becoming baby face and Adam Cole being the heel. Seems less likely to
me, but that's another way they can go with it. It would be
weird to turn MJF now when you know that they're preparing to eventually do MJF
and CMPUNK. But I'm intrigued by the possibility that when we get to Punk
and MJF at some point down the road, and who knows when they're going
to do that match. I mean, it may not be Chicago at all,
out it could be even later. You know, maybe Tony CON's not
planning on doing it until early next year. But this time it's MJF is
the baby face and CMPUNK is the heel going into that match. I don't
know. I don't know, because Ricky Starks on collision is the one who
they're teasing is going to be a heel, right, not punk. I
don't think they're going to turn punk if they're turning Ricky Starks. So I
don't know where they're gonna go with this, and that's part what I like
about this story is that there's a few different directions. Some of them are
more intriguing than others. But the one thing I do know is that I
would like for them to keep the story going for at least the next month.
There's no need to break these two up anytime soon, and frankly,
you could probably even find a way to extend it beyond all in and all
out, you know, by mjf offering Adam Cole a championship match. In
a way, it's kind of perfect because now it takes away the need to
split them up and break them up before then, before you I was thinking
about it as okay, who's turning on who and that gets us to the
title match, But now you've ruined this great union between these two. Him
offering him as a friend a shot at the championship takes away the need for
them to turn on the other, so they could keep this going for a
few more months if they want to. I think that probably would be the
ideal scenario, to be honest with you, But Roddy is the wild guardier.
Roddy is going to end up paying a role in all this, and
who's going to turn on? Who? I guess is the ultimate question here.
But this has become the best story, the best story going in aw
the one that I find the most interesting. Anyway. So we also got
footage from Renee's backstage interview last week. She did one with FTR as well.
Cash Wheeler said that he genuinely likes Adam Cole. He's sorry he's been
dragged into this whole thing. He said. MJF calls himself a generational talent,
but he's really a generational ass Kisser and Wheeler said that he likes Cole,
but they have to show MJF not to mess with FTR. Harwood took
issue with them making a mockery of pro wrestling with the dance stuff, you
know, the comedy stuff that they were doing last week. Harwood said that
he was going to beat the shit out of MJF and then he apologized.
He said, my daughter is watching. Even though they bleeped the word.
He apologized. He said that he would rip mjf's eyeballs out if he said
something about his wife and his daughter. Great, then we can get more
eyeball stories on the future seasons of Dark Side of the Ring, because we
haven't gotten enough of those Dark Side of the Ring tales from the territories.
There are plenty of plenty of eyeball stories wrestlers gouging and ripping each other's eyeballs
out, So that's exactly what we need. We need another one. But
this was fine as far as dueling promos here to get people pumped up with
the tag team match on Saturday. Yeah, FTR is very good at this
sort of old school It's a very basic, old school wrestling promo. I
mean, there's nothing, you know, overly special about what they said here
on this show. But Dax was showing some good fire here because of the
comments that MGF made and you know, threatening to rip the man's eyeballs out
this this match on Saturday. It's gonna be very interesting to see what the
collision number is going to be. The collision number this past weekend went up.
I think they were back around six hundred thousand viewers. But they're really
pushing this match very hard. Last week's Collision show on paper, it's just
weird because the show on paper had nothing. Nothing. They had the House
of Black defending the Tag Team Trio's belts against the Acclaimed in Billy Gunn.
That was the biggest thing that was advertised ahead of time for the show last
week, and you would think, if anything, the number might go down,
and it didn't go down. This show this coming Saturday, is being
pushed pretty hard with a big tag team title match. So very curious to
see how that showed. I don't know what the sports competition is like this
Saturday. I know I'm going to be gone during the day on Saturday,
which probably means I will not be live, but obviously I'll catch it when
I get home. But yeah, very curious to see what that number ends
up being. So up. Next, we had Darby Allen one on one
with Swore of Strickland. Darby had Nick Wayne, who just made his debut
only a few weeks ago, eighteen years old, wrestled Swerve Strickland. Swerve
had Prince Nana in his corner representing the Mogul Embassy. These two have had
a lot of matches together, not only in aw but also in the Defy
Wrestling promotion, so they're very familiar with each other as far as working together.
Swerve kicked out of the Last Supper, which I don't know that I
have seen anybody kick out of that before. I'm sure someone has. I
just cannot, off the top of my head think of who that was or
who that would beat. Usually it's one of those things. It's kind of
like the mousetrap that Orange Cassidy uses, where when he uses it usually beats
his opponent with it. But Swerve kicked out and ex Caliber on commentary said
that Darby's beaten him with it in their matches before, so Swerve had the
move scouted. He said. Strickland rolled to the apron, Darby speared him
through the ropes, and in doing so, he came straight down on the
back of his own neck. It looked like he came down on the top
of his head initially when I looked at it. Then they showed a replay
and he kind of tucked his head and landed on the back of his neck.
It wasn't moving, he was completely just prone on the floor. Referee
came outside to make sure he was still alive and he could feel his limbs,
which thankfully he could, but I mean right on the back of his
neck, good lord. And then when he got up, he hit another
dive through the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, and this time
when he launched himself through the ropes, swerve caught him with a knee strike
in midair, just wrecked him with a knee in midair, and again Darby
was out on the ground. Darby, Allen is not going to have a
very long career. I know this is not exactly breaking news, but he's
not. He's not going to have a very long career, so he may
as well get his ship in. While he still came back inside, Strickland
hit a swerve stomp off the top of Darby kicked out. Both men went
up top. Darby got an avalanche over the top stunner which sent Strickland rolling
to the apron. Darby wanted a coffin drop a Strickland pulled out the feet
from underneath. He hit a very dangerous looking death valley driver from the middle
rope onto the edge of the ring, so both men were on the floor
Darby almost got counted out and Nick Wayne came over to him on that side
of the ring was rooting him on, trying to get him back up.
The referee reached a count of nine before Darby got himself back in just in
time to break the count. But just as Darby dove and he didn't dive
totally into the ring, just kind of halfway in to make sure he broke
the count, at that moment, somebody came out of the crowd wearing a
hoodie and we could kind of tell who it was. It was a our
Fox. We could tell tazan commentary said, oh, I know who that
is, just based on the gear that he was wearing, even though he
had the hoodie on. But here's the issue with this. So Darby breaks
the cow and r Fox comes out of the crowd to grab Darby and attack
Darby. Nick Wayne is right there now. I don't know. It may
have just been a case where Nick Waine was not supposed to be in that
exact position at that exact moment, because all of a sudden, Nick Waine,
who clearly saw someone come out from the crowd and go after Darby,
instead of going and stopping this person. He runs around to the other side
of the ring. I guess he was chasing after Prince Nana or something,
but it looked incredibly stupid because he was still standing there and he clearly saw
this person attacking Darby and he ran away instead of helping him out. So
it looks stupid. And again it just may have been a case of him
being in the wrong position. He's young, who knows, but it looked
ridiculous. But he ran Darby into the ring post and then back in the
ring, Swerve connected with the JML driver and he got the pin. So
Swerve Stricklin a much needed win, even though he needed help in doing it,
A much need to win for Swerve Strickland here in this match, R
Fox got in the ring after to put the beat down on Darby and on
Nick Wayne when he came in. Prince Nana then presented a Mogul Embassy shirt
to R Fox, who put the shirt on. This was the best match
of the entire night, I thought, And you had to see that finish
coming after the events post match, after the opener, what happened at the
beginning of the show, you had to know that R Fox was going to
come back out he was going to be a factor in this match, which
he was as far as R Fox joining the Mogul Embassy because now he's a
heel. He was a baby face before and a lot of the moves that
he does it's a very baby face style. You know. He does a
lot of aerial, you know, impressive stuff in the ring that usually gets
a good reaction from the crowd. It's not really a style that lends itself
to a heel. But I guess everybody does these types of moves now,
whether they're a healer or a baby face. It doesn't really seem to matter.
I get that. I get the sense sometimes, and this is not
about R Fox, but I get the sense sometimes that I gotta I gotta
be careful how I phrase this. That you know, they've they've lost sight
of of how pro wrestling should be. I have noticed in recent years that
it seems to be more about how many fancy moves can we hit to pop
the crowd, regardless of whether or not the person is a baby face or
a heel. Because think about it, right, it would make more sense
for somebody who wrestles like VIKINGO. Let's just take him as an example,
and the style that he works right is meant to get a reaction from the
crowd. All the stuff, all the incredible things that he does in that
ring, right, he's an incredible athlete. But when you have people who
are heels and they're supposed to be booed and hated by the crowd and they're
doing all of these very impressive moves in these top rope walks and these flips
and dives and all sorts of stuff, people are not going to boo that.
You know, they're gonna cheer it, and they're gonna go, oh,
this is awesome and fight forever and all that's It's still weird to me,
even though everybody does it, that we have heels who wrestle like that.
You know what a heel should do. Heel should go to the top
rope and Tea's doing a four fifty splash and then go, fuck you,
I'm not going to do it, and then just drop an elbow or a
double axe handle. And there are some heels who will do that, but
I don't know, it feels like they have just gotten away from what what
wrestling should be. You know, why do we why do we have heels
who wrestle that style. It's like they're just interested in getting the reaction.
They want to get the pot from the crowd, and it's like, all
right, I guess that's the way wrestling is now. But that's what happens
when you're addicted to the this is awesome chance, you know. I feel
like there's a lot there's a lot of people that go out there and that's
really all they're interested in. It's not a matter of good guy against bad
guy, heel against face, and I kind of wish it would get a
little a little more back to the way it was because that made more sense.
But what do I know. Anyway, I don't mind him joining the
Mugal Embassy because to me, this is the Lucha Underground reunion. This is
a Lucha Underground reunion that I can get behind. We got Dante Fox right,
and we got Swerve. There you go, got kill Shot and Dante
Fox. If you know, you know, if you don't know, you
need to go back and catch up with Lucha Underground. That's what you need
to do. So I don't mind it now. Renee was backstage with some
of the members of the Jericho Appreciation Society in the hallway outside of Chris Jericho's
dressing room, we saw Matt Manard, Angelo Parker, and a Jay and
Tai Conti and they were waiting for Jericho to arrive. Jericho walks up and
he tells them all come on in. So they all go into Jericho's Lucuez
Slo Monster drive through back and by day it doesn't make me wrong, doesn't
make me wrong. Tell me what I'm telling lies. Everything I'm saying makes
sense right, just common sense. So they go into Jericho's dressing room and
the painting that Don Callis had presented to him earlier is hanging up on the
wall and they all see it, and Jericho tells them that don't don't forget,
don't worry about that. He goes, how's the baby. He asked
Tai Conti, how's the baby? And she said the baby is fine,
but she wanted to know what's going on with you. And Parker then pulled
out his comb. That's stupid comb that he has, and he's said,
you know you gave this to me. He said he wasn't going to give
it back to him yet. He said their crew means the world to him,
and he thinks it means the same to Jericho, but he's not entirely
sure anymore. Anna Jay said to Jericho is being selfish and said that they've
spent all this time appreciating him, and he doesn't appreciate them. She said,
like Jake Hagar did recently, that they can't give him a hundred percent,
and all of them except Matt Minard exited the room. The last parting
shot we got was Minard and Jericho face to face, and Minard told him
to figure things out fast, and then he walked out. So next week
is going to tell the tale of what happens next. When they do that
tag team match, it'll be Jericho into keshten against Sammy and Daniel Garcia,
neither of whom were on the show tonight. No Sammy Gavar, no Daniel
Garcia. But that will tell the tale as far as whether or not Jericho
is going to join the Callous family. So I wonder if that means that,
because I don't think he is. I don't think Jericho is joining with
Don Callis, So I wonder then if that means Jericho turns baby Face out
of this, or if the entire Jas as a result goes baby Face,
or if they just go back to doing what they were doing before, because
I said, from the beginning of all this, when it looked like maybe
they were actually going to break this group up, and they're still teasing that,
but they're teasing it so much that I don't think it's actually going to
happen, and I wish it would, because I think this whole JS thing
has run its course, just like the Inner Circle. They got a nice
long run out of the Inner Circle and they ran it into the ground.
It ran its course. It should have ended long before it did. It
was to the point where it really wasn't benefiting anybody anymore except maybe Jericho,
and I feel like we've reached that point with the Jas as well. So
I'm kind of still hoping that out of all of this, even if Jericho
doesn't jin callis that they kind of just let everybody kind of go their own
way and do their own thing, and Jericho can find something else to do,
because I've been over this whole thing now for a while. But you
know, if and when he does turn down don callus, it would make
sense to set up for a Jericho to Keshta match and you do Jericho and
to Keshta. You know, I'm looking ahead. We have two big shows
coming up at the end of next month. Right August twenty seventh, we
have All In, and then a week later we have All Out. Who
is Jericho gonna Face? For a while there, it looked like they were
setting up for a singles match between Jericho and Sting, and then they basically
gave us the match. They gave it away for free on Dynamite. It
was a tag match, a Tornado tag but we got a lot of interaction
between Sting and Jericho enough that I don't have to see it now, and
so they've moved away from that. We haven't even seen Sting on television since
the now that I think about it, since that horrifying dive off the ladder
it looked like he knocked all of his fucking teeth out. I don't think
we've seen things since, so he's out of the picture for now. I
know he was not that long ago talking about looking forward to going to Wembley
Stadium and being there, so I would expect him to be on the show.
I don't know what he'll be doing, Probably a tag match, but
te Keshta and Jericho at all in and then maybe Ta Keshta and Kenny Omega
all out because I still think Omega and will Osprey three is probably the direction
for Wembley Stadium. So you could do Omega and Osprey on the twenty seventh,
and then a week later you do Omega and te Keshto because we still
haven't gotten that match between those two. We had a little bit of interplay
between them in the Blood and Guts match last week. But I want Jared,
I want Omega and takesh go one on one, So it's just a
matter of what show do you do it on. You could do Jericho and
t Keshta first. You know, that would be a big win for Takeshta
because under no circumstances should Chris Jericho be beating that man. So te Keshta,
he beats Jericho, Omega perhaps loses the Osprey in the third match he
needs a comeback win. Omega then beats Tekeshta in Chicago it all out.
Maybe that's how that works out. We'll see again. No matches have been
announced for either show yet, so this is all just fantasy booking until Tony
Kann announces at least one match for the show. We had Doctor Britt Baker
DMD against Taya Valkyrie. There was an ugly road to Valhalla before the picture.
There was a really it was a road to Valhalla botch before the picture
in picture break where Britt just sort of fell down face first, and then
there was maybe a second or two delay before Tiah then kind of went down
with her, and Taya tried to save it by raining down strikes on her
heading into the brake. I'm not sure that she was supposed to hit the
move, but whatever it was that they were going for, it did not
look good. It did not look good, so we come back later in
the match. Brit wanted a Panama Sunrise Valkyrie, though countered into a Northern
Light suplex. Brit did eventually get the Panama Sunrise for two. She took
too long though putting on her glove. Valkyrie hit a spear. She tried
for the road to Valhalla, but Baker spun out into a lockjaw position.
She got the lockjaw applied and she was able to pick up the wind.
This was not good. This was not good. These two women looked like
they were moving in slow motion. I don't know what was going on here.
They were like moving in quicksand sometimes you get two people who just don't
work well together. This may have been their very first match together in a
was I don't know when else these two would have worked together. It may
have just been a case where they just, you know, they were not
on the same page. I don't know, but I just thought this was
a plotting slow match, and of all the times for AW to show this,
this is what appeared on screen at the very end of this match here
between Britt Baker and Tie of Valkyrie. They cut to a sign in the
crowd, And no, I'm not talking about the Mario is Better than Sonic
sign, which is true, but I'm talking about the sign that says,
book the Women's Division better. The timing of this sign cannot be ignored at
the end of this Britt Baker match here, book the women's division better.
What they need to do first order of business, They need to get Jamie
hayterback as soon as possible. Things have been a hell of a lot less
interesting without Jamie Hayter on my television every week. So I hope that she's
healing well and she's fully recovered because they need her back so they can start
building to Jamie and Tony storm for Wembley Stadium. So long as Jamie Hayter
is physically ready to come back, that has to be the working plan is
to get that championship back on her with a big win at Wembley, which
will be a lot bigger than if she were to walk in there as the
champion had she not been hurt and just defend the title, retain the title.
You know, it'll be a much bigger moment if she goes in there
and wins the championship back. So they got to get Jamie Hayter back.
We didn't have the outcasts on the show tonight. Neither women's champion was on
the show. They have two of them. They have two women's champions.
They have a TNT champion and they have a TBS champion, neither of whom
were on the show to the and they're really at this moment here on this
show no other women's stories to speak of. You know, you have a
great little run that Athena is having as the Ring of Honor Women's champion.
But Ring of Honor is not dynamite. Ring of honor is something completely different
and completely separate, and frankly, I wish it wasn't just so that we
could get Athena on these shows, which is why I would not have minded
if Athena lost her title to Willow Nightingale last week at Death Before Dishonor,
because then that would have freed up Athena after this great run that she's been
running through everybody to be promoted back onto Dynamite or Collision, because she's very
good. She's one of the honestly one of the best women they have signed
to AW right now, and I really would like to see her on the
main shows, challenging for the TBS title and challenging for the Women's World Championship.
So you know, again, I'm looking at this and I'm agreeing with
what the sign said. Could Tony Khan do better with the women's division?
Of course, you bet your ass he could. Absolutely This match tonight on
this show, though, was not the best example to give because this match
just wasn't that good. But that's not representative of the entire women's division,
and they have a lot of women under contract, you know. The ones
I just mentioned are some of the key players. There. Jamie hayterthena the
Outcast have been featured a lot recently, and again, for whatever reason,
they were not on the show tonight. Tony Storm is the women's World champion.
But yeah, of course Tony Khan can do a better job booking the
women's division and actually putting fourth stories that you know people might find interesting.
You know, take your pick. You know, you've got plenty of women
on the roster. Pick half a dozen of them. Come up with some
stories for them. Maybe they're stories that don't revolve around the championship. They
don't all have to revolve around the World Championship. But it just seems like,
especially in recent weeks, you know, he'll find a few minutes to
stick a women's match on this show, and it's just not a priority.
We had a Britt Baker match last week, you know last this week was
all about blood and guts. So we had a women's match with Britt Baker
last week, but it was a square. It was a sixty second squash.
You know. It was just the way to get her on TV and
put her back in the wind column because she didn't win in the owen Hart
Tournament. As far as britt Baker matches go. This was not one of
the better ones, but the timing of that sign was just was too much.
The timing of that sign, I have to say, was something else.
Yeah, I know we have a lot of sky Blue fans. I
see already the sky Blue comments in the chat. Sky Blue has definitely improved
from where she was a year ago. I will say that even Julia Hart.
You know, when we see Julia Hart occasionally in the ring, she's
not in long matches. Yeah, but she's she's very young, but she's
progressing. But they have women who are a lot farther along than sky Blue
and Julia Hart. And I only named a few there, with people like
Willow and Athena and Tony Storm and Jamie Hayter Tya they signed not that long
ago. God, there's some other women. I've forgotten all of the women
frankly that they have under contract in this company. But needs to put some
effort into developing stories for them because yeah, yeah, it's an issue.
I can imagine there's a lot of frustration probably in that division. You know,
Dynamite is still considered their a show. Even the Collision has been great,
but Dynamite is still the a show in aw that's still their you know,
their number one sort of bread and butter show. And we're having the
two hundredth episode next Wednesday. Two hundred episodes of Dynamite. As far as
the women go, not a whole lot to celebrate if you look at the
if you look at this here, because they don't really get that much attention
on this show. But they're also a short a few people, so hopefully
they'll get people like Jamie hayterback. Thunder Rosa might be coming back thinking a
few week she's gonna get reevaluated, so we'll see she'll be on Collision not
dyed to mind when she comes back. But yeah, that's signed. Was
something else. Our main event tonight was a triple threat tag team match.
It was the Blackpool Combat Club, John Moxley and Claudio Cassid Mildi, the
Luca Brothers who lost their Ring of Honor World tag team titles last week,
and best friends Chuck Taylor and Trent Baretta Luca bros And best friends. They
started fighting before the Blackpool Combat Club even got to the ring, and so
there was a giant brawl to start the main event down they're just brawling all
over the place, which was basically every AW match brawling everywhere. So they're
brawling up the ramp and they did a spot here where Chuck Taylor and John
Moxley they brawled up the ramp before everybody joined them. On the floor,
Taylor hit a somersault dive off the stage onto the pile of people. I
mean, this just turned into mostly chaos. Late in the match, Penta
snapped the arm of Trent Burretta before hitting made Impenta. Claudio and Moxley broke
things up. They'd beat down the best friends and Claudio hit a power bomb
on Chuck Taylor. Claudio wanted a recall a bomb, but Orange Cassidy's music
hid. He comes down the ramp. He laid out Wheeler Utah on the
ramp with an orange punch. Cassidy then slugged it out with John Moxley on
the floor. In the ring, Trent dropped Claudio with a crunchy but Paul
Turner comes over and says he's not the legal man. And you know,
we knocked the AW referees a lot, and deservedly so because they booked them
to look like fucking morons. But in this instance, credit to Paul Turner,
because I have no idea how he even knew who the legal man was.
There's just so much going on here in this match. I didn't even
know who the legal man was. So he's trying to tell Trent that he's
not the legal man, and the Luca Bros. Jumped in. They laid
out Trent with the fear fact, and Penta got the pinfall to win the
match for his team. After the match was over, on commentary, they
were talking about how the Blackpool Combat Club are in a very unfamiliar position here
having lost multiple matches and best friends in Orange Cassidy. They were still brawling
outside the ring with the Blackpool Combat Club. John Moxley, for whatever reason,
just left while all of this fighting was going on. He just very
casually walked over to the barricade, jumped into the crowd, he left.
He walked. I guess he had enough. Maybe he thought they were off
the air. I don't know, but he walked out. Ex Caliber informed
us that Moxley, Baretta and Penta because he was being told in his ear
by Tony Kahn that next week they're going to have a triple threat. Anything
goes three way on the two hundredth episode of Dynamite, So the Luca Bros
get the way in, which is interesting because of course the Luca Bros are
part of death Triangle with Pas. It came out to try to help Pack
after the match against Claudia last Friday at the Ring of Honor show, So
the Luca Bros being the ones to get the win here kind of makes sense
if you, you know, take them at their word that things are going
to continue on here between Pack and Claudia. We haven't seen the last of
those two. But still, you know, when this show was over,
it just it felt like filler. Yeah, I mean, they moved certain
stories along. We got a couple of good matches on the show, but
it just felt like they were filling time to get to the big Collision show
on Saturday and then the big two hundredth episode of Dynamite next week. And
it was a big come down from last week, which it was going to
be anyway, because last week you had a War Games match basically, you
know, they're big annual blood and guts attraction with all the all the violins
and the gore and everything else, and so this week it was going to
be hard to to top that, but it just wasn't a very exciting show,
not a very strong show. Tonight Now Rampage on Friday has a tag
team Battle Royal. I shit you not. We have a tag team Battle
Royal, Jay Lethal and Satin him Sing, Big Bill and Brian Cage,
Ethan Page and Brother's A, The Hardy Boys, Butcher and the Blade,
Matt Menard and Angelo Parker, Luther and Luther and fucking Sir Pentaco or in
this whatever, Christopher Daniels and Matt Sidell. The winners get an AW Tag
Team title shot. We just had a blind eliminator tag team tournament. We
had a triple threat tag team match. Here at the mainive end of the
show tonight, we are just coming off a blind eliminator tournament with the winners
getting a shot at the AW Tag Team titles. That match has not even
happened yet. That match won't happen until Saturday on Friday. They're already doing
a Battle Royal for another shot at the tag team titles. Is there no
other way to determine Number one contenders other than constant Battle Royals and tournaments?
Is that the only way we can ground tag team title contenders in this company?
Is this really necessary? We have a kar Rashida against Nila Rose,
Scorpio Sky against Kip Sabian and the Kingdom take on well, we don't know
who. We just know there'll be an action. So that's Rampage on Friday.
Now Collision on Saturday has FTR defending their titles against MJF and Adam Cole
Andrade Elidallo against Buddy Matthews in a ladder match for Andrade's mask. How very
nice by the way of aw to be hanging Andrade's mask that was stolen from
him above the ring instead of giving him back to him. But that is
going to be the match on Saturday. And we have the Kingo Action Andretti
and Darius Martin taking on Juice Robinson and the Guns. And then next Wednesday,
on the two hundredth installment of Dynamite, Jericho and Canow skate to Kesh
to take on Sammy Gavara and Daniel Garcia. Jack Perry goes face to face
with Jerry Lynn, John Moxley, Trent Burretta and Penta in a anything goes
triple threat to match. That is the line up for the next three shows
coming up for aid. And here's the Twitter poll for tonight fifty seven percent
thumbs up, forty two percent thumbs down, with nearly eight hundred votes in
so far, so at Slo monster can go vote on X. Go vote
on X. Sounds like you're on drugs? What's he on? He's on
X? Ah, he needs rehab a stupid fucking X. Does that make
elon Professor X going to roll out in his wheelchair the next time he has
a big announcement to make telling you with Andrew Man, poor guy gets his
mask stolen, that's his personal property, and instead of giving it back to
him, they're like, you're just gonna hang it from the ceiling. We'll
just hang it from the ceiling. I know, I know it's wrestling,
but it's still still all right. So let's go through your super chats here.
Get those questions on and if you got them link Lex took gravity long
enough to finally remember pack a there Ago, I've been hearing these jokes all
week. Get in on the party telling you that's the only reason they did
that match. They did it for the jokes. Hey, we got JM
with that one hundred dollars super chat bomb. Actually I'm skipping ahead. I
missed. I gotta go to his twenty He got a twenty five in first
before the hundred, so we'll do the to the twenty five first. Lol.
At the close up of the book, the women's division better sign after
the Britain tiamat Freudian slip on the director's part. It was a Freudian slip
on someone's part, I'll say that. But yes, he dropped the one
hundred dollar super chap bomb. Thank you so much, jam you are.
I remember hoping at the time of his contract renewal, that Moxley would return
to WWE, mostly because I rarely watched WWE and I thought his work was
becoming lazy and repetitive. It has gotten demonstrably worse since then. I think
some wrestlers need a change of scenery sometimes. Well, you're not going to
be getting to change of scenery because he signed that new contract. Was it
last year, was it earlier? This year? Five year contract him and
Jericho both Jericho I think is locked in until twenty twenty six, and I
believe Moxley is locked in until twenty twenty seven. So you better get used
to a lot more John Moxley because he's not going in it. Grosso with
the nineteen ninety nine That brick tire match was not good. Women's division is
just as bad as wwees. And where's the women's champion Tony Storm? And
where's Christa Lander the TBS champion? Also, why is he Karasheeda stuck on
random Age? I asked that question earlier. You got two women's champion,
they can't find time for at least one of them on this show. Doesn't
make sense? Make it makes sense. The Redeemer with the twenty dollars super
chans the Redeemer took time away from his hot flexible White send in a super
check. Balor loses a crazy, hard fought match. Priest cashes in on
a barely able to stand rawlins finishes him to win the title, helps up
Balor like bro Now, Balor is jealous and thinks he finished Seth Priest stolen
booking Summer slip. I floated this idea the other day. I didn't advocate
it, but I just pitched that Damian Priest really wanted to show his loyalty
to the Judgment Day and to Finn Valor he would cash in his money in
the bank when it looks like Balor's not doing too well. He would cash
in during the match to make it a triple thread, and he would let
Balor get the fall on him. Valor wins the championship to keep the world
title in the Judgment Day, and what greater way to show one's loyalty.
I wouldn't do that. What a way to waste your money in the bank
briefcase. But you know that's another one though, where there are a few
potential directions they could go with that. But I mean, the way they've
been featuring the Judgment Day so much lately, it sure doesn't feel like they're
breaking them up anytime soon. Balor getting the World Championship would make sense.
JM with the sixty dollars super chap here is a little something towards the music
budget. You pulled a Tony khn on us with the music intro tonight.
Well it might not be Tony Khan getting a final countdown at Forbidden Door,
but I do hope you enjoyed your racing Queen. At the beginning of the
stream Boat Saint Clair, huge solo monster fan. I've been watching since twenty
fifteen a Saint Clair, thank you for sticking with me. Now, what
is that eight years? I believe that's eight years, right, math is
hard. I'm pretty sure it's Eightian Mac says Yo Solo, wondering if you
ever listen to third party podcast like comedians the comedian just had on Hogan or
Rogan having on Flair occasionally. I mean I don't. I don't listen to
all of them, but I mean, if they're one that sounds interesting to
me. The Logan, Paul Logan, Paul's has some good podcast Ray Maisterio
on his Impulsive show a few months ago that was really good. But I
mean, would that be considered a third party podcast since he's a WWE star
now? Occasionally though, Yeah, I do if it's interesting enough to me.
Bob Rick, thank you for that forty dollars super chat. I love
you, brother. He Gatodato Otaku Films, you're pretty great too, Thank
you. We got Dethronic seventy eight. Being that there's a major fight this
weekend with Crawford and Spence, I don't see Collision really doing well this week.
Who's Crawford, Who's Spence? I don't know who those Are that a
boxing fight? Is that a UFC fight? I don't even know who those
people are, Boots, anyone else? Think Roderick Strong going to cost MJF
and Cole the tag titles and then eventually turn on Cole during his rematch with
MJ. It's gonna be one or the other. I don't think you do
both. That would be repetitive. But yeah, I think I think there's
very good chance that he may cost them the tag titles. On Saturday,
we got dethronic again. Do you think AW fans will accept why Omega and
he Boushi are called the Golden Lovers? If AW showed video packages from New
Jabe, would the AW fans accepted. Of course, the AW fans would
accept it. The WWE fans would probably just roll their eyes. The AW
haters would have a meltdown. But the AW fans would love it. You
know, they know who a Boshe is, they know the history between them.
Terrence Crawford and Errol Spent. I see Terrence Crawford and Arrow. Yeah,
I don't know who those are. Paul Carpenter with the five bucks is
how come Tommy Dreamer didn't come out on Jake Perry start crying during a How
come Tommy Dreamer didn't come up this sten? Come on, Jake, Jake
Perry, who's Jake Perry another UFC fighter? I guess he means Jack Perry
and start crying during a promo? Tell well, Tommy Dreamer, I mean
he does. Nobody cries more than Rick Flair, but Tommy Dreamer is probably
a close second. Yeah, we don't need Tommy Dreamer on Dynamite. No,
thank you, Naughty Delicious Chicken with Flavor. Here's a weird idea.
MJF tries to build his own version of the Undisputed Era in AW, but
he sweers everyone at the air. I don't think roder Strong wants to have
anything to do with him, so I don't know how you get there.
Drew Johnson Nick Gauge against Jack Perry for the FTW title hardcore match. Gage
goes over. That would be awesome. Also, hbk's the game. I
don't want to see Nick Gauge back on AW. He had his moment.
We don't need Nick Gauge back on Dynamite. I just got done talking about
a whole bunch of people that have been missing from these shows and never get
time on Dynamite. You want to bring back Nick Gauge, Come on,
Drew, I might book him and be the booker, but we don't need
him back on Dynamite, OZ and Glorious. They've gotten away from what wrestling
should be. Solom Monster to the Jim Cornet experience confirm, Hey, I'll
die on that hill they have. They have gotten away from what wrestling should
be. I think that's a fair statement. There's a lot of fat wrestling.
I love, you know, I love I love wrestling. But have
there been things that they have gotten away from over over the years that I
think they would be well suited to go back to. Absolutely, Yes,
I do. I do miss when wrestling wasn't just for the performance and just
for the fans and the crowd to hold up signs you know, ten eight
basically what it's become. It's like what was that show Dancing with the Stars
and they'd have their their panel of judges and everybody would hold up you know
the number that they gave the person. That's basically what wrestling is now.
I missed the days when it didn't feel like that. It actually felt like,
you know, you had two guys going into the ring trying to beat
the hell out of each other, and you know, maybe they had some
colorful characters in there, and they had all different stories going on, but
it didn't feel like it was just about the moves. Just because you can
do something doesn't mean you should. I learned that as a kid, just
because you can does not mean you should do We really need to see the
same moves in every single match? Do we really need to see the same
dives in every single match? Do we really need to see the same shit
in every single match? And this goes for WWE, this goes for a
w The answer is no, But we do anymore. We do anyone Dylan
Hensley twenty dollars super. You know, it's one of the reasons, by
the way, why I love Samoa jo One of the best moves in wrestling.
It's not even really a move, literally, Samoa Joe. When he
sees somebody diving at him, you know what he does, He just walks
away. He lets them crash and burn. I love that. It doesn't
matter how many times I see him do that, whether it was in TNA,
whether it was in WWE, whether it's in AW love that common sense.
Dylan says, today was suplex day. See Dylan, those who don't
know, is training right now to become a wrestling He is wrestling today.
It was supplex day, vertical supplex, belly to back, underhood, belly
to belly German. I was terrified taking that first vertical supplex. It was
scary. But listening to my trainers and using proper form, I conquered my
fear. Well, that is very cool to You're learning, you're learning.
See, I'm teaching lessons to Dylan too. See Dylan, Dylan agrees with
me. Dylan's just learning the game, right, He's just getting his legs
under him. But he agrees with what wrestling should and should not be.
That's why Dylan is gonna If Dylan is ever gonna be a heel when he
grows up, right, he gets a little older, a little more mature,
gets a little more experience, and they say, you're gonna turn heel
to Now you know what Dylan is not going to do. He's not going
to go out there the very next week and try to pop the crowd.
The chance of this is awesome. He's gonna say, how can I get
this crowd to hate my guts? He's gonna figure out a way to get
heat from the crowd because Dylan is going to be a great heal. That's
what Dylan is gonna do. Dylan is gonna keep us updated on his progress
here as we go along, Oz and Glorious. I'm looking forward to Darby
retiring or becoming a coach. I'm beyond sick of seeing him multiple times a
week on all three shows We've got one two three Sports Talk Favorite Howard Stern
Wrestling Interview Favorite Stern Wrestling Interview. Honestly, I was always surprised by how
open Stephanie McMahon was when she was on all those years ago. I don't
know that that was my favorite, but I remember thinking, how Howard.
What think Howard is very good at or was very good at. I don't,
you know, listen to his current interview, so I don't know if
he's lost the step. But he was always great at getting people to open
up in ways that they would never open up if it was somebody else doing
the interview. Of course, he would ask questions that nobody else would ask,
but he was very good at that. Interviewing is one of his strong
series, and so he had over the years. You know, he's had
a bunch of wrestlers on his show, Triple H. Stephanie Vince was on
their Stone Cold. I think Rock was. I think Rock was on.
Trying to think if there was any other wrestlers like back during that Monday Night
War period or the period that came in Kurt Angle. I think Kurt Angle,
unless I'm thinking of a different woman. I'm pretty sure Kurt Angle was
on there, and I think that that was a dude. But yeah,
the Stephanie one was yeah, yeah, she no, she was. She
was very open anyway. One two three, Thank you, Delicious says I
dared WWE to book a Roman Rains versus La Night program. Yeah, I'm
not gonna hold my breath on that. We got Doctor Scorpio. Actually,
you know, Naughty Delicious has one more. Can you see aw giving Ricky
Starks his own faction. No, I would see him linking up with an
existing group like a Bullet Club Gold. I don't see him starting his own
Doctor Scorpio. Now, we got to start a solemn monster hates modern wrestling
agenda. Just couldn't keep it to yourself for real, though I do agree
with what you said A lot of people do. I'm sure a lot of
people, whether they want to admit it or not, believe me, a
lot of people agree with Naughty Delicious. I will admit Live Morgan's injury angle
on almost made meet from okay, but not as much as Live was cried.
She's certainly mastered the art of hysterically crying selling an injury. I'll give
her that bender. Mcsimpson says, I could watch Swerve and Darby wrestle every
day. Did you listen to Whole Cogan on THEO Vaughan's podcast, and if
so, what did you think? So? That is the second mention of
THEO von I don't even know who THEO Van is. Apparently he's a comedian.
I'm told no, I did not, But I will ask you a
question because since you I think you listened to it, did he make any
comments or was he asked any questions about ed Leslie Brutus Beefcake Because I saw
a video a few weeks ago that Brutus's wife posted on social media and he
clearly filmed it, but she was doing her own Hulk Hogan impression, trying
to get him to like talk to Brutus again. Like, come on,
brother, let's like bury the hatchet and like it was the most cringeworthy thing
that I've ever seen. And I saw, I thought I saw someone make
a comment that Hogan was either asked about it or he made a comment about
it, because he hasn't spoken about his friendship, his relationship with Brutus in
a long time. He had a falling out a long time ago, and
I thought they'd patched things up. But maybe not. I don't know,
I don't. I don't think they're they're friends anymore. Still, but did
he make a comment on that show about it? I thought I give much
of a shit about what Hulk Hogan thinks of Brutus beefcake in twenty twenty three.
But I'm mildly curious if he had a response to that video that Brutus's
wife put it out there. We got oz and glorious counterpoint. MJF was
doing classic slash, traditional cartoon villain level heel work creek coal, and people
loved him and cheered him anymore. Yeah, but that's that's fine. Caul.
You you look, you can't control. You cannot always control how the
crowd is going to respond to somebody. If they're a heel, and they're
trying to be a heel. If the crowd likes that person enough, they're
gonna cheer for them anyway. Case in point, La Night La Night has
been booked as a heel on that roster, and the fans, for whatever
reason, all of a sudden a few months ago, even though he was
not being used in any meaningful way, decided to start chanting his name and
bringing signs to the shows, and they would go nuts when his music in.
It was nothing the company did. It was not La Knight going out
there and trying to be, you know, a cool baby face. Sometimes
the crowds are going to pick and choose, and they're going to decide who
they like and who they want to cheer for, who they hate, who
they want to book. Dominic Mysterio. They fucking hate this kid's guts.
Guess what, One day Dominic is going to be a great baby face.
Today is not that day, but one day it'll happen. MJF. Chris
Jericho told them the same thing. MJF was always one day gonna be huge
baby face. Tribal Chief Roman reigns when this run is over, is going
to be a huge baby face, a gigantic baby face, and he'll be
a much better baby face now than he was five years ago. But what
I'm saying is, again, if you're a heel, there are certain things
that as a heel, you probably should not be doing when you're out there
in the ring. If the fans naturally gravitate to you because they like you
that much, then you're probably not going to be a heel for much longer.
You can't always control them. You can only do what you can do
the fans. The fans sometimes can be unpredictable, but that has nothing to
do with what I was talking about. We have got Elijah always lover gifting,
always lover gifting memberships. I think he meant love. I think your
thoughts on Blue Cane? Yeah, I keep hearing about this Blue Cane?
Is it? Is it just somebody on the indies dressed up as Cane but
in blue? Is that really all it is? I thought Blue Cane got
suspended from Twitter. That's all I know about Blue Cane. Saint Clair,
hold on, there's another Saint Clair apparently. Yeah, you've got competition,
brother, you got another Saint Clair here in this yet. Drew Johnson Palomaster.
You are the man, but HPK is Brett's daddy. Thank you for
everything you do, my friend. Today is opposite day. I will agree
with you. Thank you, Drew Paul Carpenter Heels Season two looks pretty good.
Anybody gonna watch it. CM Punk and Missus Punk are going to be
on. I believe CM Punk had a cameo in season one as well,
right, I did see the clip with him in aj though wrestling in the
ring. I watched the first two episodes of season one and then I fell
off, not because it was bad, but I just I fell off.
So I will not be watching season two because if I'm going to go back
to it, I need to go back and finish season one before I can
watch season two. We got bony. What would your thoughts be on AW
recognizing the FTW title and making it the light heavyweight title. I don't like
that idea. I don't like that idea. The FTW title is what it
is. If they were going to introduce a light heavyweight title, it would
be separate depart for the FTW title, and I don't think they need a
light heavyweight title, so I wouldn't do it. Mikey Klaiman Buy or Sell
Punk twenty twelve or Cody Rhodes Current Punk twenty twelve, twenty seven at twenty
seven Best Hometown Pop Today Punk in Chicago or Sammy in Montreal, Sammy and
Montreal Holmes Gibberish, thank you for the four ninety nine oz and glorious Bigger
Heal in current Solom Monster verse, Elon Musk or eyeball references on Dark Side
of the Ring Elon Musk. There you go, see that was easy.
It's going on. Drew Naughty Delicious has a supertrack coming in the good Son's
scenario, save one and let the other one go. Brian Myers or Matt
Cardona. Well, Matt Cardona is our world heavyweight champion in hog right now.
I don't want to go against the world champ, So sorry, Brian,
but you gotta go and trill Mexican. Ever since Salom Monster got that
Commissioner gig, he can afford to use the song racing Queen, because what's
money to Salom Monster. Have a good night? Yeah, what's money to
salom Monster. Got to keep the lights on, pay the bills, this
little minor thing, pay the rent. You know, my minor things like
that, and Drew Johnson, what is your favorite movie of all time?
You cannot say Cloverfield. I didn't say Cloverfield was my fat I said Cloverfield
is one of my favorites. I never said clover Field was my favorite.
My favorite movie of all time is The Dark Knight. Diehard is up there.
Diehards pretty close. Diehard maybe number two actually, but no, it
is. It is The Dark Knight. So the gold tonight was three fifty.
We are currently a three eighty nine. So thank you for that.
Keep pitting that thumbs up. I want to drive this stream into everybody's recommended
to where they go what the hell is a solemn Monster? And then they
click on the video and they find out and then they become part of our
little community here. So liking the videos does a lot to help out.
All right, Now, let's go ahead and be the booker. Ladies and
gentlemen, It is now time to be the booker. Here we go,
be the booker. Achievement unlocked. Let's book some matches here as we try
to do here on every stream. Rainbow Cane, you know, we almost
had great There was a render. Somebody did a mock up, not long
ago Green Cane that supposedly he was gonna wear green gear when he joined d
X, but I think that got shot down a long time ago, just
a rumor. Anyway, we begin with Matt Riddle. We got Matt Riddle
kicking us off here and be the booker, and Matt Riddle is going to
be going one on one with Cody Rhodes. There's a match we haven't seen
before, right, we haven't seen Matt Riddle and Cody Rhodes in the ring
together. That could very well be a match we get on Raw one of
these days, since they're both on the Raw roster. Ok. Yeah,
there's Cody Cody with his purple Tit a match that will stand the test of
time. And we move on to the ladys side. I have to outbook
Tony Khan. Can I book a better match than Britt Baker against Tie of
Valkyrie? Tonight? We begin with somebody I just mentioned two minutes ago,
a j Lee, the former WWE Eva's champion aj Lee. This could go
either way. It really depends on who the opponent is. But we got
aj Lee taking on Well, there you go. I said, it depends
on who the opponent is. It could go either way. Aj Lee and
Tam. Let's break the tie. Let's break the tie with the tag teams.
Here we go. We begin with Henry O and phineas I, Hog
and Pig. The godwins, The godwins. I can already see my fingers.
I'm very tempted to hit the button now, but let's see who their
opponents are going to be before I do. The godwins. See, this
is what makes it tough, man, This is what makes it tough.
The godwins and the Rock and Roll Express. Oh what do I do?
I uh, that's the godwins. Come on, come on, even Ricky
and Roberts, even Ricky and Roberts can't make a main event match out of
that. I'm sure it would be a serviceable match, but I cannot give
that the bell. I know it's blasphemy to give the buzzer to Ricky and
Robert, but hey, that's that's the way it goes sometimes. So we
end up on the losing side here tonight and be the boat. What.
Yeah, that is a missman, what a mismatch that is. By the
way, talk about two different generations, two different eras, the Rock and
Roll Express and the godwins. We have got Paul Carpenter. Did Chris Jericho
become the guy that he hated the most Mickey Rourke in the movie The Wrestler.
No, I don't think he's there yet. I mean Mickey Rourke.
Vickey Rourke had a heart condition, he was going to die in the ring.
I don't. It's not a matter of Jericho dying in the ring.
It's just a matter of I think Jericho is someone who would benefit from a
break and going away and coming back and not being on the show every single
week. I don't think he's quite reached Randy the Ram territory. He may
get there, he may get there, but I don't think he's quite there
just yet. And Brian Alex says, you have a good channel, only
good? Why not very good? Now? Brian, thank you. I
appreciate that. Drew Johnson says The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. Diehard is
a Christmas movie, and my favorite movie is pulp fiction. That is a
fine choice. Pulp Fiction is another fine choice. Can't go wrong with Good
Fellas, right? Good Fellas also a great movie. Turtlehead four ninety nine
says Dark Knight is my number two behind Ferris Mueller's Day Off. Both heavily
filmed in Chicago. Joker blew up, where my mom worked for over twenty
years. That's pretty interesting. Mister Chicken with Flavor just dropped the five Matt
riddle against Cody Rhodes. The winner gets to hang out with the Solemn Monster.
I don't feel like a riddle and I would be engaging in the same
kind of activity here. But I've out with Cody before and we had plenty
of conversations, so I think that would be fine. That would be cool.
Shawshank Redemption also a very good man. I haven't seen that movie in
a long time, but that's a that's a very good one, you know
what movie. I also like, like, really like the original Scream.
The first screen movie still the best of all those screen movies that they did.
But I just just the vibe, I guess, and the I don't
know, just the vibe and then the whole atmosphere of the movie. I
love that first screen movie. Of course, the original Halloween as well.
I can't leave that up that that is one of my all time favorites.
First Halloween from nineteen seventy eight. Solid Monster isn't into porn stars and weed.
Now I'm not into weeed. Elijah currently watching my favorite, The Breakfast
Club. Yeah that's not one of my favorites, but yeah, the Breakfast
The Breakfast Club is pretty good. See I grew up. I was a
big fan of the Goonies when I grew up. Surprise they haven't remade that
since they remake every other fucking movie. Yeah, I wore out that VHS
tape a lot watching the Goonies as a kid. The Original RoboCop. I
just tweeted the other day, I think we hit the thirty six year anniversary.
I believe of the original RoboCop from nineteen eighty seven, and I love
the original RoboCop. But I will tell you that I should not have seen
that movie. I had no business seeing that movie as young as I was,
because to this day, there are three scenes in that movie that still
kind of they still stand out of my mind. They really scarred me.
Three scenes in the movie. Like you might get a movie where there's like
one scene that's cars, you, there are three of them in that movie
that scarred me for life. See if you could figure out which three those
are by going to Grand Slam. No as as of this moment. No,
I am not, but but you never know. Drew mcincock. My
favorite movie is Back to the Future. Another fine choice. Yeah, I
never saw the RoboCop. It was a remake, right remake or a reboot
in twenty fourteen. I didn't see I can't comment on it because I didn't
see it. I don't have any interest in seeing it. I just you
know, I didn't see the need the need for a remake. I heard
it wasn't bad, it wasn't as violent, but yeah, the original is
can't top the original? You can't top the original. Well, i'll tell
you. I'll tell you what the three scenes what are this, I'll tell
you what they I'll tell you what they were. Oh, there was another
hold on. There's another movie that somebody mentioned chatt is going by way too
fast. I was going to agree with something that someone said, and I
don't know where it went. I don't know where it went. Where did
it go? Somebody had another good one here, and yeah, I don't
know where it went. Uh. Yeah, the Alex Murphy death scene is
is obviously that that is the one that is the one that really really bothered
me. It bothers me honestly, even as an adult, imagine watching How
old was I when I watched that? Probably I'm gonna I'm gonna guess I
was probably seven or eight, maybe probably seven or eight when I saw that
movie. The Alex Murphy death scene, the scene in the office were head
two O nine malfunctions and just shreds that dude, and the toxic waste scene.
If you know, you know, those are the three scenes that disturb
me. You know what's fucked up about the death of Alex Murphy in that
movie. He was assigned to that precinct specifically because they knew he would be
killed, and when he was killed, they would be able to use his
body for their little robocot project. So from the moment he got assigned to
that precinct, he was a walking dead man. That's what's fucked up about
that. Get off me, man, Yeah, I'm telling you, man,
that was That scene was something else. That scene was something else.
Drew Johnson says Stu is the best character. Watch a few movies, take
a few notes. It was fun. It was fun, Yes, Stu,
Stu from Scream Did you really call the police? My mom and daddy?
He was so mad at me, it's a great movie. It's a
great movie. Oh man, Naughty Delicious is Hollywood. Please don't remake Escape
from New York. I saw Escape from La before I saw Escape from New
York, and I like Escape from from La. I'm not telling you.
I'm not saying it's a great movie. I'm just saying I like it.
But yeah, I mean if it's hard for me, I don't want to
start ranking them. But if I had to make a top five all time
favorite movies again, Dark Knight is probably number one, but Diehard would be
on that list. The first Halloween would be on that list, and the
Thing from eighty two would also be on that list. Lashawn says, need
Sheeta on my TV right now? Also, I sent no I did.
I just mentioned it Lash again. The member the member chats. I try
to grab and mention if I can, but they don't pop up in the
window with the super chats, so those don't always get red, but I
do see them eventually. Be Yeah, you want Sheeta, you gotta watch
Rampage. You want Sheeta, you gotta get her on Rampage on Friday against
Nila. Training Day, Yes, training day. Training day was very good.
Training day was very good. Planes, trains and automobiles, says the
Winston Slip and Dumb and Dummer. I was never a fan of Dumb and
Dummer, Planes, trains and automobiles, though is It's just a classic Thanksgiving
movie. I usually watch it every Thanksgiving, either it comes on cable or
I find it somehow, And it's always very emotional in that scene at the
train station at the very end. You've seen the movie, you know the
scene, Naughty Delicious says every time I watch RoboCop you you looked like a
younger Peter Weller with lots of hit no idea, Peter Peter Weller had an
amazing jawline. I don't have the jaw line that he has, but thank
you anyway. Bass beer has got of seduction. Can't wait for the summer
fests, that's rights. Summer fest is a little over a week away,
about a week and a half, right, nine days? Maybe? Is
it nine days? I think it's nine days? Days think it's nine days
away. The speaking of nine days, where's food Hive? We haven't heard
from food Hive in a while. Might be in a food coma. Have
I seen The Killers of the Flower Moon trailer, I have not. I
don't even know what that is. Yeah, you know the original Twelve Angry
Men, very good movie. And I saw the Twelve Angry Men that they
did with Jack Lemon, and well, there are a bunch of actors in
that one. It was just Jack Lemon, I think was the foreman.
James Gandelfini was in there. Tony Danza. That one was also really good.
So if you've never seen either one of those Twelve Angry Men, it's
twelve jurors. It's it's literally them in a jury room. That's the whole
movie. But those are both very good. Booloo yeah, I don't know,
Yeah Boo Booloo is gone for a very long time. And then Booloo
reappeared for a while for like a couple of streams like Boulu Fatulu, and
then he just vanished again. So wherever he is, I hope he's doing.
Okay, Boffman Entertainment. The Summer Slam is next week. That's right,
It's you gotta say it the right way. It's the Summer Slam.
It's the Summer Slam coming up next weekend Lashawn says, I watched Grayson on
out of Character and he definitely seemed to still be playing it up, probably
the most honest that we will see him talking about Grayson Waller. Grayson Waller
is still talking about the Rock. He's still talking about The Rock. He
wants The Rock on his show. I'm telling you something's cooking. Something's cooking
there. I'll make a prediction right now. I predict that at Summer Slam.
At the Summer Slam, Grayson Waller is going to have a segment.
I don't know if it will be his talk show, but he'll have a
segment at summerslat and it will be with either The Rock, the Undertaker,
or Stone Cold Steve Aost. Since he seems to be working with different legends,
the Rock is the one he's been calling out. Rock would make the
most sense. Plus Rock is probably a little less busy these days with the
strike going on, so Rock Undertaker, who was going to be there.
Undertaker is going to be in town. He's doing one of his one one
dead man talk shows. And then Stone Cold. I think would also be
a possibility to Stone Cold could get physical. I mean, we saw the
shape he was in at the beginning of the year when it looked like he
might be at WrestleMania, and he claims the only reason he wasn't is because
he was busy, he had something else going on. It'll be one of
those three. I think Grayson Waller will have some kind of segment with one
of those three. Creepshow, Yes, thank you, you said that art
came. Yes, Creepshow is one of my favorite movies as well. Creepshows.
Creep creepshows a good one. Worst movie I've ever seen, says the
Winston slip. He says his The English Patient. I didn't see The English
Patient, but I did see um. Oh god, what was that movie
with John Travolta and Forrest Whittaker was in it as well. He was a
space movie? Oh my god, I forgot the name of it. That
was the worst movie I ever saw. That movie absolutely sucked. Bass Beer
has got of seduction. A battlefield there, thank you, Yes, thank
you, EJ. Battlefield Earth, Bass Beer has got of seduction. Thoughts
on House Jack Bull, hostile, house, what we want? House Jack
Bull? Oh built? House Jack built? I've never seen that? Hostile?
Yeah? Hereditary, Oh god, Hereditary? Yeah, I think I
saw that, but it was so long ago, I don't remember much about
it. Yeah. The torture porn stuff. As far as like horror movies
go, there are a few that I liked, you know, I thought
the original Saw movie was actually brilliant, and there have been a few good
ones, but nothing like the original. But some of these movies, and
like the hostile ones, I mean some people might like that stuff, some
of the ones where it was just torturing gore for the sake of it.
I just I don't like that, you know, I just it just turned
me off. Never saw the Resident Evil movies, believe it or not.
I quit. By the way, the Resident Evil games. I think it
was Resident Evil Part two, and there was a scene where I got I
was in a hallway in the door and now I'm in a hallway of a
house and there's windows. But the music stopped, and that should have been
a dead giveaway that something was about to happen, but I guess I wasn't
expecting it. All of a sudden, a dog, it was like a
Doberman or what like, jumps through the window. I screamed like a girl.
I never played the game again. That was it. I never played
another minute of Resident Evil after that. I'm pretty sure it was part two
but again, I don't remember. All I remember is that fucking dog jumping
through the window and I shrieked and I said, fuck this game. And
that was the end of that. That was it for me. Was I
at the police station where the zombie dog. Maybe maybe it was a police
station, I don't know. All I know is that I was in a
hallway and a dog jumped through the window, and that was it for me.
All Right, I'm out of here. I'm gonna go get some sleep.
I will see you back here live right back here on Friday night for
the SmackDown recap. Until then, take care of Guess.
