00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.160
This is your aw Dynamite review for
Wednesday, April twelve, two thousand and

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.359
twenty three. I'm the solo Monster. Tonight we had a first time ever

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.439
match in the main event between Chris
Jericho and Keith Lee. And I did

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:20.719
not realize this until tonight, but
this was Keith Lee's first singles match on

5
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:28.239
Dynamite, I believe, since his
debut against Isaiah Cassidy back in I guess

6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:33.520
it would have been February of last
year, and this was his first singles

7
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.439
match at all of any kind since
a match with Serpentaco on Rampage back in

8
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.560
October, and before that, you'd
have to go back all the way one

9
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.600
year. I believe it was against
one of the Gun Brothers a year ago.

10
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.039
Point is, we don't get to
see Keith Lee in singles action on

11
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.840
this television show very often. We
don't get to see Keith Lee a whole

12
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.840
lot on Dynamite, period, So
it was a nice treat to get him

13
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.280
in the main event tonight against Chris
Jericho at that we have not seen in

14
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.400
the past, and I thought that
they went out there and they had a

15
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.200
match. Not the best match on
this card by any means, there were

16
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.920
at least two matches better than this
one, but we did get another tease

17
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.920
at the very end, with Adam
Cole coming out when the match was over,

18
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:21.000
when Chris Jericho got himself a tainted
victory thanks to some outside interference by

19
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.680
another man who we don't get to
see very often on this show, that

20
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:29.239
being Swerved Strickland, keeping the issue
alive between these two men, costing Keith

21
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:33.359
Lee the win in the main event
against Chris Jericho. But Adam Cole comes

22
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.519
out does what Jericho did a few
weeks ago, coming out to check on

23
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.519
his friend, giving a little side
eye to the other guy before it was

24
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.719
Jericho giving a little side eye to
Adam Cole without actually looking directly at him.

25
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.280
Adam Cole did the same thing tonight
to Chris Jericho to throw a little

26
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.400
fuel on the fire between those two
clearly headed towards the showdown a double or

27
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.239
Nothing next month. We also tonight
have the return of the Eight, Kenny

28
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.920
Omega and the Young Bucks. After
being beaten down over the last several weeks

29
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.439
by the Blackpool Combat Club, the
BCC got a little taste of revenge,

30
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.520
little taste of their own medicine tonight
when the Bucks and Omega laid waste to

31
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.479
them chase them off into the crowd. There was no Hangman page, there

32
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.080
was no Brian Danielson. But obviously
these two groups are on a collision course

33
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:29.840
towards double or nothing, and then
likely after double or nothing is when they

34
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.159
will save Blooding Guts. Tonight it
was Kenny Omega trying to kill John Moxley

35
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.319
with a screwdriver. Last week it
was Brian Danielson trying to gouge out Hangman's

36
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.240
eye with a screwdriver. So that
gives you a little taste of what we

37
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.840
can expect in Blooding Guts whenever that
match is going to take place, probably

38
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.840
not until after the next pay per
view. But that was not the only

39
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.439
return that we had on this show
tonight. The other big return on the

40
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:05.879
program Jeff Hardy, we have not
seen on television in almost one full year

41
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.960
since the last DUI. Jeff Hardy
was back tonight. He ran down to

42
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.080
the ring to save his brother.
Nobody looked happier to see Jeff Hardy back

43
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.840
than Matt Hardy. It's not hard
to figure out why when you look at

44
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.159
what Matt Hardy has been relegated too
since his brother went away. Oh,

45
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.319
I would bet nobody is happier to
see Jeff back on TV than Matt just

46
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.919
in the nick of time. How
I feel about this is a bit complicated,

47
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.560
you know, my thoughts on the
whole Jeff Hardy situation. I don't

48
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.039
believe he belongs in the ring.
I don't, but I know there are

49
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.680
a lot of people who were very
happy to see him back, And obviously

50
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.599
the people in Milwaukee tonight were very
vocal when Jeff Hardy came down to the

51
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.439
ring. And Jeff Hardy did not
leave his brother to die this time.

52
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.400
While he did some dancing in the
aisle way too, he actually came right

53
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.000
down to the ring. But Jeff
Hardy is back, and that's one of

54
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.719
the things we'll be talking about here
tonight. But this episod So tonight had

55
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.280
a pair of really good matches,
including the opener with Swerve, Strickland and

56
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.520
Darby, and then the international title
match that we had with Orange Cassidy and

57
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.319
Buddy Matthews, and also a lot
of storyline advancement. I still thought overall

58
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.120
it was a mixed bag, mostly
a good show, but still a mixed

59
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.480
bag, and we'll talk about why
that is. But as I said,

60
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.279
this is your Dynamite review. But
before we get into all of the stuff

61
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.040
that happened tonight here on Dynamite.
As you could tell probably by the thumbnail

62
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.959
of this video, we do have
a little bit of news very briefly here

63
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.879
to get into as it pertains to
the former AEW World champion CM Punk.

64
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.360
We just can't seem to quit this
guy. But we had a little bit

65
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.480
of an update now. To be
honest with you, we didn't really learn

66
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.279
a whole lot new from this Fightful
update that they posted earlier today. A

67
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.120
couple of details, but I think
we kind of already knew this. But

68
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:58.800
the latest on Cmpunk's potential return to
the company. This is from Fightful the

69
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:05.399
latest update early today. Cmpunk has
laid out numerous scenarios in which he would

70
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:13.480
return, would be willing to return
to AW, and among those includes a

71
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:18.240
willingness to work with Kenny Omega and
the Young Bucks. There's a willingness on

72
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.160
his part to work with the members
of the Elite. However, we have

73
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.279
heard, we being Fightful of heard
that at least as of a few months

74
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.680
ago, Omega and the Bucks did
not seem too keen on that for obvious

75
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.759
reasons. We're not sure if that
has changed. As AW has progressed on

76
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:42.600
landing new deals with them. Punk
has also expressed his willingness to return to

77
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.120
work for all Elite Wrestling and keep
completely separate from the Elite. There were

78
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.720
some talent that were of the belief
that the rumored upcoming Saturday AW show could

79
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:59.199
be used to help facilitate that with
some separation to the AW roster, but

80
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.360
that is not something that higher ups
in the company have confirmed to us.

81
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.160
It was also noted that we're told
Punk has been open to working elsewhere,

82
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:12.120
although we're not sure if that means
within the auspices of AW SO for example,

83
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.959
Ring of Honor, or if by
that he is talking about WWE,

84
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.120
for example, or New Japan.
Of course, that would assume WWE even

85
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:23.000
wants to work with him. But
that is the update from Fight Fool.

86
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.199
And you know, it's very nice
of him that he apparently would be willing

87
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.480
to work with the elite when he
was the one who went out there publicly

88
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.720
at the scrum and malign them.
But it's nice that he wants to work

89
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.680
with him. You could obviously understand
why they might not want to have anything

90
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.959
to do with this guy. Now, Dax Harwood good friends would Cmpunk?

91
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.360
He spoke on his latest podcast,
Dropped earlier today, and this is what

92
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.959
he talked about when it came to
cmpunk. He said, the reason I

93
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:57.079
am fantasy booking the Elite against Cmpunk
and FTR, which is something that he

94
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.920
has talked about being a potential man
of for the Wembley Stadium show at all

95
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.399
in you could do CMFTR against the
Elite, and a lot of people have

96
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.920
been fantasy booking that match for a
while now, probably ever since the scrum,

97
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.000
to be honest with you, but
he said it is because outside of

98
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.519
Roman Reigns, and he says,
please correct me if I am wrong.

99
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:27.000
Outside of Roman Reigins and maybe Cody
Rhodes, the biggest name in professional wrestling

100
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.800
right now is Cmpunk definitely the biggest
name in AW. So if we want

101
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.959
to take AW to the next level, if we are here to work for

102
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.759
AW, if we are here to
make pro wrestling better because of AW.

103
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.480
The way you do that is you
take the biggest star that you have and

104
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.199
one of the biggest stars in the
world, and you put them on the

105
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.199
card and you make money with them. On top of that, I will

106
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.519
say that I talked to Punk almost
every day, and Punk missus wrestling.

107
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.839
Punk missus wrestling, and Punk wants
to come back, He wants to give

108
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.480
back to the fans, he wants
to get back to wrestling, and so

109
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.480
I will leave it at that,
which, of course I'm sure that Punk

110
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.600
does miss it. He had a
good thing going in AW and then he

111
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.720
got hurt, and now he's been
off television and out of the picture now

112
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.240
for the better part of six months, right, seven months at this point,

113
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.399
whatever it's been, I'm sure he
does miss it. But I said

114
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.279
it last week when AW broke the
news about the Wembley Stadium show coming up

115
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.559
on August twenty seventh, and I
said it right here on this review that

116
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.120
never have I been more convinced that
Cmpunk is either back, we just don't

117
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.279
know it yet, or is going
to be coming back to AAW because there

118
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.360
is no way that Tony Kahn is
going to go ahead and book a Wembley

119
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.480
Stadium show one week ahead of what
we think is going to be the traditional

120
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.960
all out pay per view in Chicago. It still has not been confirmed whether

121
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.919
or not All Out is still a
go. Let's assume it is. You're

122
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.919
going to do a stadium show in
the UK, and a week later you're

123
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.000
gonna possibly try to fill the United
Center, the bigger building in Chicago for

124
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.080
all Out, which is to say
nothing of Grand Slam in New York a

125
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.240
few weeks after that. Tony Kahn
would not be doing this if it wasn't

126
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.240
for the fact that he thought in
his mind Cmpunk is coming back, and

127
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.600
he knew that he would have him
back. He is a big name.

128
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.720
He knew that he would have him
back on the roster, whether he's working

129
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.440
with the elite or not. I
am as convinced as Emma. Despite all

130
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.840
the shit that's gone down back in
September and the Instagram stuff and Moxley and

131
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.240
called Jericho a stooge and all the
bullshit, all the drama after last week,

132
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.600
I've never been more convinced the Punk
is going to be coming back.

133
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.679
It's only a matter of when,
it's not a matter of if. And

134
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:50.600
I think Dax feels the same way. I think he knows it. So

135
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.320
now we wait and see what Tony
Khan wants to do, and if so,

136
00:09:54.039 --> 00:10:00.320
when does he choose to put cmpunk
back on television because I'm sure by

137
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:01.679
now he's all heeled up from his
injury. It's just a matter of what

138
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.840
does Tony Khan want to do?
Does Tony Khan want to take that chance

139
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.080
of upsetting the apple cart with people
behind the scenes and potentially causing more drama

140
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.879
by bringing this guy back. Is
it a perfect world? Yeah, he'd

141
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.399
be back and they'd be making all
kinds of money. But the world ain't

142
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:26.279
perfect. There's no such thing.
That is the update on CMPO. Let's

143
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.240
talk about this Dynamite show because Dynamite
and I opened with Darby Allen, who

144
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.440
got hit by a car while skateboarding
in New York City last week and then

145
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.960
he got hit by Brian Cage on
Rampage last Friday. He got picked up

146
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.240
and thrown like a sack of garbage
on Rampage. Darby Allen one on one

147
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:52.279
against Swerve Strickland. Very happy to
see Swerve here on Dynamite. We see

148
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.519
him a lot on Rampage. We
don't get to see him a lot on

149
00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:01.000
this television show. I'm not sure
what happened to Baby Brock. So Baby

150
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:07.720
Brock or the other guy the big
tattooed up guy. But for those who

151
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.559
don't know, for those who don't
watch Rampage, which I'm sure is quite

152
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.799
a number of you, the Embassy
is a Ring of Honor faction led by

153
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.360
Prince Nanna. Brian Cage is part
of that faction, and I'm gonna have

154
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.840
news on him here in a second. But the Embassy has merged with Swerves

155
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:30.320
group Mogul affiliates, so they have
merged into the Mogul Embassy. That is

156
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.159
what we have been told. So
Brian Cage and Prince Nanna, they were

157
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.080
out on stage here when Swerve Strickland
made his entrance. For those of you

158
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.360
who again don't watch Rampage, or
don't watch Rampage on Fridays, and we're

159
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.799
watching and saying, well, wait
a minute, why is Prince Nanna and

160
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.799
Brian Cage on stage for the entrance
of Swerve Strickland. It's because they have

161
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.840
merged and they are now one.
I failed to see, by the way,

162
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.320
how merging with the Embassy, which
is a Ring of Honor faction,

163
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.200
really does Swerve any good. I
don't really see how that benefit. It's

164
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.919
him, but that's what they've done. That Brian Cage as reportedly signed a

165
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.960
new deal with AW and Ring of
Honor, a long term deal. I've

166
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.960
heard five years thrown around. I
don't know if that figure is accurate,

167
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.039
but supposedly it is a long term, multi year deal, and Brian Cage

168
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.159
is going to be staying put.
He's going to be staying right where he

169
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.279
is now. There's been a lot
of rumors about a potential hiring freeze when

170
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.279
it comes to talent in WWE.
I saw that debunked. I'm not sure

171
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.279
that there is any kind of actual
hiring freeze. But his contract was up

172
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.960
and he was working, I believe, working without a deal. Heading into

173
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.559
a Ring of Honor Supercard of Honor, the Embassy defended their six man tag

174
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.399
team titles and they won. In
fact, Brian Cage was the one who

175
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.639
got the winning fall in that match
at the pay per view, and so

176
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.000
I saw that, and so,
well, I guess he's back. I

177
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.799
guess he's not going anywhere, because
why else would he get the winning fall

178
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.519
and keep his championship If Tony Kann
thought he was going to leave, and

179
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:03.279
they did in fact reach a deal, and look if WWA is going through

180
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.000
all of these changes right now.
Right the company is going to be going

181
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.399
through quite a few changes in the
months ahead, and Vince McMahon, to

182
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.399
what extent does he back and does
all this kind of uncertainty going on right

183
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.120
now? Cage may have looked at
that, and Tony conn may have said,

184
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.039
look, I want to keep you. I have plans for you to

185
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.879
be on television. It's not going
to be the way it was last time,

186
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:30.080
where I rolled your contract over and
nobody saw you for months at a

187
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.159
time, which honestly is something that
still puzzles me. It puzzled him too

188
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.360
at the time. He did not
think Tony Conne was going to roll over

189
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.919
the option year in his contract.
But he's actually appearing now on television,

190
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.679
not just on Ring of Honor,
but we've seen him make appearances on a

191
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.639
WTV as well. So as long
as he's gonna keep Cage on television and

192
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.360
Cage is gonna be visible, then
it's not a bad spot for him to

193
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.759
be in. Obviously, he felt
the same way if he put pen to

194
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.440
paper, he wasn't that disappointed.
He wasn't that unhappy with his spot.

195
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.039
I don't know what other promises Tony
con may have made, but it was

196
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.759
good enough for him to sign a
contract. So the Brian Cage Sweepstakes is

197
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:09.320
over. He will be in aw
for the long term. Darby hit an

198
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.960
early suicide dive and they fought outside
the ring. After that, back inside,

199
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.759
Swerved removed Alan's belt that he was
wearing. He started whipping him with

200
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:24.360
it. It cut to a split
screenshot showing Sammy Gavara and Tymello watching from

201
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.600
the back in a different part of
the match. They showed Jungle Boy in

202
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.879
the back in a different location.
He was also watching. Because again they're

203
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.080
building up all of these pillars as
going after mjf's championship. They're all kind

204
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.639
of scouting each other. Swerve kicked
Allan through the ropes and Darby was able

205
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:48.039
to catch himself by his feet,
and his feet caught the middle rope and

206
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.759
he was dangling by his feet.
Swerve then propelled himself out over the top

207
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.960
rope and on the way down he
delivered a double stump that took Darby down

208
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.519
to the floor, and it took
us into the first picture and picture of

209
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.600
the Keeping Back Live. Darby had
Swerve upside down in a tree of woe.

210
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.159
The tables had been turned. He
grabbed one of Swerve's feet, he

211
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.720
pulled his boot off, and he
bit down on his foot. He bit

212
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:22.399
down right through the sock, which
elicited chance of you sick fuck from the

213
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.960
crowd here in Milwaukee, which reminds
me of the independent show that I went

214
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:31.200
to here in New York many years
ago, which had a Matt Riddle Tommy

215
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:37.519
Dreamer match where Tommy Dreamer he may
have had him in an ankle lock,

216
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.080
as I recall, but the one
thing that stands out is he took Riddle's

217
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.200
foot and he put it in his
mouth, and he bit down on Riddle's

218
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.080
foot, and Riddle wasn't wearing any
socks, so he got the same chance

219
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.360
that Swerve and Darby got here in
this match when they started channing you sick

220
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.600
fucking Darby, and Darby was really
working over Swerve's ankle for a while.

221
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.240
Eventually, though, Swerve had Darby
on his shoulders on the apron and you

222
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.720
knew nothing good was going to come
from this. Darby fell backwards hit a

223
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.559
poisoned rana on the floor, which
looked ridiculously dangerous. Darby followed that with

224
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.279
a coffin drop in the ring had
the match one, but Prince Nana had

225
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.440
jogged down to the ring and he
placed Darby's foot on the bottom rope to

226
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.840
break the fall before the cat of
three. Darby went after Nana, but

227
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:32.399
Brian Cage emerged from the back stopped
Darby in his tracks. Back in the

228
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.480
ring, Swerve connected with the double
stop also landed, though right on his

229
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.919
injured ankle, so it took him
a few extra seconds to cover, but

230
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.799
when he did, Darby kicked out, so the match continues. Darby hits

231
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.519
the ropes. About a minute later. Brian Cage now is at ringside.

232
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.320
He trips up Darby, distracts him
long enough for Swerve to attempt to use

233
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.799
a chair. Darby, though kicks
it out of his hands and hits a

234
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.799
code red, gets a close near
fall out of it, but then immediately

235
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.119
out of that near fall from the
code read he is able to execute the

236
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.279
last supper and he got the three
count for the win. That's the second

237
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.319
time now that Darby has beaten Swerve
with that hold. The last time would

238
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.759
have been about a year ago actually, and there was a year ago this

239
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.920
month and a qualifier for the Owen
Heart Tournament, and we should be hearing

240
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.039
about that very soon because I assume
they're doing the tournament at Double. I

241
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.559
know they're doing the tournament again.
They said that's going to be an annual

242
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.119
thing unless they're moving it to a
different show. We have double or nothing

243
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.200
coming up, so those qualifiers should
be starting in the next probably three weeks

244
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.200
or so. We're gonna be hearing
about the Owen Heart stuff, so that

245
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.880
should be coming up. Really good
opener though. I thought this was a

246
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.599
really good opener. This was probably
my favorite match on the show tonight.

247
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:49.880
I hate to see Swerve loose,
but look, Darby is the one being

248
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.799
primed for a championship match at the
pay per view with MJF. Right.

249
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.839
I assume it will be a four
way. He's going to be part of

250
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.200
that match. It can't be beating
Darby. Of these two, Derby Allen

251
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.359
is the one that needs to win
more than Swork does. Now. After

252
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.440
the match was over, we heard
mjf's music play out comes the aw World

253
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:12.920
Champion. But first a commercial,
so then we come back from commercial.

254
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.640
He was in the ring. He
called Milwaukee Midwaukee told the crowd to give

255
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.480
it up for Darby. After an
incredible match, and they did. He

256
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:29.599
said it was especially impressive without his
daddy Sting being out there. He said,

257
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.440
if Full Gear twenty twenty one,
two of them had one of the

258
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.359
greatest matches in the history of professional
wrestling. And I wouldn't go that far,

259
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.359
but I do think that was one
of the best matches I've seen in

260
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:44.680
AW history. Not the best,
but it's up there. That was a

261
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.440
great match that they opened that show
with. And you kind of knew even

262
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.160
watching then, you knew watching those
two they were considered two of the pillars

263
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.640
of the company. And back then
MJF was still getting a lot of flak

264
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.279
for not being a good in ring
work, which I can never understand where

265
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.839
that comes from. I mean,
I know he doesn't wrestle very often,

266
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.839
but he's fucking great in the ring. He backs it up in the ring

267
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.640
just as much as he does on
the microphone. He showed up that night,

268
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.400
and I think he shut a lot
of people up. That was a

269
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.839
great match. Was it the greatest
matches? One of the greatest matches in

270
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.920
the history of professional wrestling? No, of course, not in the history

271
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.680
of this company. On pay per
view? Yeah, I would say so.

272
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.920
And he said that even though you
are a shitty little emo schmuck.

273
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.039
Pound for pound, Darby may be
one of the best people that he's ever

274
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.720
been in the ring with, which
coming from MJF, is actually quite the

275
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:42.200
compliment. So he brought up the
fact that he beat Darby with a headlocked

276
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:47.920
takeover, and he is amused that
he thinks he can take the triple B

277
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.680
from him. He said, Darby
is not on the level of the devil.

278
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.440
Darby then had time to respond.
He asked m JF if he's happy,

279
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.480
Are you happy? He said,
has anything you've ever done in your

280
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.680
life made you happy? Six years
ago, I met you at an indie

281
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:10.680
show in front of thirty people,
and MJF told him, once I make

282
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:15.119
it to national television, all of
my problems will wash away. Darby said,

283
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.559
here you are. Nothing has changed. You're the champion. Nothing has

284
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:25.599
changed. Darby felt the same way. He chased all the same material things

285
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.400
that MJF did, and they don't
mean a damn thing. His first year

286
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:34.319
in aw he checked himself into therapy. He told Max that he should check

287
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.400
out therapy sometime. Hey, you
know what, I've got a link from

288
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.960
Max if he ever wants to check
out therapy. I'm just saying I got

289
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.000
a link. I got a link. Darby said that with the money he

290
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:51.039
made from AW he paid for his
parents house and he helped his dad retire.

291
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.119
And he said, no, this
thing is not my dad. He's

292
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.839
just my best friend in this entire
company. He said, he's not gonna

293
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:02.759
be like MJF. He's not gonna
low his morals to be somebody in this

294
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.240
world. So if you've got something
to say, keep talking. And MJF

295
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.519
called him an arrogant little boy.
He's tired of him and Jack and Sammy

296
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:17.119
whining about their morals. He said, morals killed careers in this business.

297
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:21.559
He thinks Darby is a gutlass coward
because he doesn't have the balls to sacrifice

298
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.119
what must be sacrificed. He says, you think I'm an idiot, and

299
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.599
I'm not aware that I might end
up on my deathbed alone, that if

300
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.680
the afterlife exists, that I'm not
going to heaven, I'm going to hell.

301
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.880
He says, I could give a
shit because as long as this belt

302
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.240
comes with me, that's all that
matters. He says, that's the difference

303
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.359
between me and you and the other
pillars. I'm willing to do whatever it

304
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.799
takes. Not you. I am
willing to do whatever it takes to leave

305
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.680
a legacy in this sport. And
it will read as follows. MJF the

306
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.720
greatest of all time said, you
know what your legacy is going to be?

307
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:06.079
Darby Allen Stings bitch. Never were
fighting words because we heard the music.

308
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.759
And here comes Sting in his new
jacket. He looks like a trucker

309
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.400
walking to the ring in that jacket. I mean that it's got his logo

310
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.200
on the back. I'm sure aw
must be selling it, so that's why

311
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.000
he's wearing it. But it just
looks like he walked in off the street.

312
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:22.480
So he walks to the ring.
And by the way, it was

313
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.880
like eighty fucking degrees here in New
York. What was it in Milwaukee today

314
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.680
wearing a jacket like that. It
ain't jacket weather no more, not here

315
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:37.240
in New York even now, fucking
eighty one degrees outside, sweating balls here.

316
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.519
So Sting went face to face with
Max. He said, all this

317
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.480
daddy daycare talk, he doesn't see
himself as a daycare kind of guy.

318
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.839
He sees himself more like a cheerleader. And he pulled out a pompomp and

319
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.480
threw it in mjf's face, and
I was thinking, like, where the

320
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.279
hell did he get get this pompo
from. He reached into the pockets of

321
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:02.119
his jacket and pulled out three more
of them and through them at MJF.

322
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:06.240
He was like a clown pulling out
the never ending handkerchief. I was like,

323
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.920
where's he getting all these pom poms
from? So he promised to stop

324
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.079
if MJF stops talking about this Cody
daycare stuff. And he went, oh,

325
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.160
he said, I said, Cody. And the truth hurts, doesn't

326
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:22.599
it, Max, He goes,
because you had a cheerleader. You had

327
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:30.519
a support system in Cody, just
like Darby does in me, and Surfer

328
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.960
Sting had one years ago, and
Rick Flair. He turned to the camera

329
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.279
and he shouted out Rick Flair and
he thanked him from there, he said

330
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:44.200
he evolved. He went into the
Crow's sting and then after that a little

331
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.279
bit of wolfpack and he gave a
shout out to Big keV and he looked

332
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.319
up to pay tribute to Scott Hall
and he said, it's obvious that I've

333
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.000
got a little joker left in me. Shout out to Joker's sting. I

334
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.000
know that it's weird, like a
lot of people hate on Joker's thing,

335
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.400
but joker sting was a I guess
he'd call it a guilty pleasure of mine.

336
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:10.000
I enjoyed jokersting. He said,
but what we what he does not

337
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:15.799
have is a hunger and a thirst
for that world title. He's going to

338
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.559
be real with everybody's showtime is almost
over, But showtime is just starting for

339
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:23.640
this young man right here, Darby
all Actually, the way he wrestles,

340
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.119
I would say the opposite. I
would say showtime is just about over for

341
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.799
Darby Allen if he keeps wrestling the
way that he does. He says,

342
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:36.960
Max mark my words, Darby will
become a W'S World Heavyweight Champion. I

343
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:42.000
promise you. Darby reiterated that point, said that he's ending mjf's reign of

344
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.720
terror and leaving his aw champion.
Mjf's response to all this was to hakka

345
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.400
lugi and spit in Darby's face and
then bail out of the ring. I

346
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:59.880
liked the sting shout outs. I
liked the call backspecially the Jokers thing called

347
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.960
which I just don't feel it gets
enough love. But again, this is

348
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.599
a man who was in the twilight
of his career. He has said on

349
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.559
record that this is going to be
it for him. Its contract I think

350
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.839
might be up this year, and
this is it. Now we've heard this

351
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.680
before. How many times did Sting
in the past talk about how I thought

352
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.880
I was done and then Dixie Carter
convinced me one more year, one more

353
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:23.680
year. But you just get to
an age where you know, you know

354
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:27.319
when it's time. He doesn't look
it, he doesn't sound like it,

355
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.799
he doesn't move around like it.
But Sting is sixty three, sixty four,

356
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.480
you know, somewhere in that range. And it's not like he's wrestling

357
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:38.279
full time. He probably could do
another year if he wanted to. But

358
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.720
I believe him when he says this
is it. So every time we get

359
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.240
a Sting appearance on television, whether
it's a promo or a tag team match,

360
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.839
I try to enjoy it because you
just never know when the last one

361
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.400
is gonna come. You know,
God forbid, what if Sting goes out

362
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.960
there in a six man tag in
two weeks and gets injured and it's a

363
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.720
serious injury. You know, is
he gonna want to rehab and come back

364
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.319
and start the clock all over again. Maybe not right. I thought we

365
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.440
had seen the last of him when
he got hurt against Seth Rollins, and

366
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.839
then he had this career renaissance here
in aw Tony. Kahn has done well

367
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.839
by State, so I try to
enjoy the appearances when we get them,

368
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.720
and he still cuts a great promo. He's still one of the best promos

369
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.839
I think in the entire company.
What I did not like there was one

370
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.839
thing about this I did not like. It went on. It went on

371
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.000
a little long. But beyond that
the one thing I did not like about

372
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.079
this. They killed any potential for
the idea that I talked about when it

373
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.799
comes to if they were to come
back to this later in the year,

374
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.400
because I don't I mean they're gonna
do this match double or not think it's

375
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.759
probably going to be a multiman match. When they get to a point where

376
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.920
they could do Darby and MJF one
on one, and MJF of course makes

377
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.960
everybody jumped through hoops. One of
the trials could have been because it's just

378
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.519
such an asshole thing for him to
do. It would have worked so well

379
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.880
to have him JF say, look, you want to shut up my championship.

380
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.079
The last trial you need to go
through is you got to beat Sting.

381
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:07.799
If Sting beats you, then Sting
will be the one to get a

382
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.759
championship match. But if you beat
Sting, Sting has to retire and Darby

383
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:17.039
gets to be the one to retire
Sting. But what an asshole thing for

384
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:21.359
MJF to do, right, What
a conundrum it creates for Darby. Well,

385
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:25.039
they've just removed all potential for this
now because Sting went out and said,

386
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:26.200
look, the one thing I don't
have a hunger in a thirst four

387
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.680
is that belt. I don't want
to be world champion again. I don't

388
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.920
care about the world time. So
they killed the idea that I still think

389
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.799
it would be a great idea,
but they killed the idea dead here in

390
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.559
this promo. I guess they could
always, you know, come back to

391
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.319
it if they want to. But
aside from that, I just thought it

392
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.200
was a very strong promo by Darby. Darby has had the chance many times

393
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.680
now over the last several weeks to
really showcase his verbal skills and have some

394
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.400
time in his promos in the ring
lied not in the pre tape, in

395
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.839
the back and I think he's done
very well. Well, MJF, I

396
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.720
thought did very well and on the
whole I enjoyed this. I thought this

397
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:08.559
is a very strong opening segment here
on this show. I'll tell you what

398
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:15.599
wasn't a strong segment on this show, The TNT Championship Powerhouse. Hobbs defending

399
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:21.599
his title in an open challenge against
Silas Young from Ring of Honor, The

400
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.400
Last Real Man. We saw an
insert of Hobbs pulling up to the arena

401
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.160
in a car. This was earlier
in the day, a car that QT

402
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:37.720
Marshall apparently bought for him last week
and told the parking person parking or security,

403
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.640
whoever the guy was, to make
sure that nothing happened to his car.

404
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:48.160
When you see a brand new car
pulling up to the venue, especially

405
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.559
is a gift from somebody, you
know, only something bad will happen.

406
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.559
Only bad things can happen. You
would think that these wrestlers would learn this

407
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:03.519
by now. Now let me ask
you a question. Why did Silas Young

408
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.480
need to be in this spot?
They were in his hometown too, They're

409
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:12.599
they're in Wisconsin. But Silas Young. I've always been a fan of Silas

410
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:17.720
Young. I was talking about Silas
Young back when I was a brief period

411
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:21.640
when I was reviewing the Ring of
Honor Weekly Show. But you know now

412
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:26.079
he's he's been showing up on the
Ring of Honor relaunch here. Why did

413
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.400
you they need to use Silas Young? I guess it was a way to

414
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.319
get him on the show in his
hometown. But you know he got squashed

415
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:38.200
like a bug in forty seconds here
by Powerhouse Hobbs. If you blinked,

416
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.359
you missed it. I can't believe
they did him like that in his hometown.

417
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.480
No less pobs and qt. They
dragged Silas up the ramp until we

418
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.319
saw Wardlow in the parking lot.
Now up on the screen right, we

419
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.240
cut to the parking lot. There's
the car and there's Wardlow and he's pissed

420
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:03.079
off and wardlob proceed needs to start
smashing in the windows. He keys the

421
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:08.119
side of the car. It's weird. I can watch them bash out the

422
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.640
windows and blow out the windshield and
stuff, But it's the keying of the

423
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:17.319
car that just that bothers me.
You would think that smashing out all the

424
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.119
windows would bother me the most,
But now it's the keying of the car

425
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:25.160
that really kind of grinds my gears
whenever I see that. So then he

426
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:29.759
grabbed a nearby stanchion. He smashed
the windshield with it. Then he looked

427
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.720
over and it just so happened that
conveniently sitting off to the side was a

428
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.799
forklift, so he mosies on over
to the forklift. He gets inside,

429
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:44.319
he drives the spikes right through the
passenger side windows of the car, and

430
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:49.640
he proceeds to tip the car over
onto the roof. Now in the arena,

431
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:55.920
a very angry powerhouse, Hobbs,
it's about the power bomb. Sila's

432
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:59.599
young off the ramp through two tables
that again just so happened to be sitting

433
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:03.960
there outside, right on the floor. So they got the ramp right two

434
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.880
feet it's not that far from drop, but two feet down. These two

435
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.079
tables just perfectly aligned side by side, parallel to each other. But then

436
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:18.440
Wardlow's music hits, and that distracts
Hobbs. He's waiting for Wardload to come

437
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.680
out. Wardload does come out.
They start to brawl. Wrestlers and referees

438
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:27.119
and agents they come out to try
to separate the two of them. Wardlow

439
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:33.160
then ends up power bombing poor Aaron
Solo off the stage through what was supposed

440
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:38.519
to be both tables, and Aaron
Solo went through one of the tables and

441
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:41.759
smacked the back of his head on
the edge of the second table, which

442
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:48.559
just looked brutal. It just it
was a sickening spot. And that's what

443
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.359
happens Sting. Actually, I was
at Arthur Ash last year for Grand Slam.

444
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.519
I think it was the beginning of
the Rampage taping and there was something

445
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.680
with Staying and Darby in the House
of Black that's with a great Muda actually

446
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.119
made a cameo at the end to
save Sting. They had Mooda come out

447
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:06.480
at Arthur ashe but they did a
spot where Sting was up on the ropes

448
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:08.880
and it might have been Buddy Matthew
shoved him off and they had tables outside

449
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:13.920
and Stings smacked the fucking top of
his head or the or the edge of

450
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.240
his head right on the edge of
the table. Came up a little bloody.

451
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.039
It's like they fucking killed him.
Why is thing doing a spot like

452
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:28.599
that? No wonder he wants to
retire, but that's scary. You know,

453
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:30.240
people have slipped and fallen and hit
their head on the floor and end

454
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.920
up dying, you know, for
for less than what we saw here.

455
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:38.160
So hopefully he's fine, but that
was a very ugly spot wardlow. By

456
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.839
the way, when he was in
the parking lot beating up the car in

457
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.799
the arena, we could hear the
arena audio. He was getting Goldberg champs

458
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:52.200
from the live crowd as he was
doing that. We've seen this angle in

459
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.839
wrestling so many times before. It's
it's so played out, you know,

460
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.720
I don't know. It's just the
same kind of paint bine number ship with

461
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.480
the car and no, it was
a gift for somebody, so let's smash

462
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.799
the windows and there's the forklift.
You know, we've seen this many many

463
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:13.240
times before. And you know,
again, it's a car that Hobbs was

464
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.240
given. He was gifted the car
less than a week ago. Who cares.

465
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.279
I guess he would care, But
I don't, you know, does

466
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.079
he really have any kind of emotional
attachment to this car. I mean,

467
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:27.640
I guess it was a nice car. I don't remember off him what kind

468
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.319
of car it was, but it
looked nice enough. But you know,

469
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:34.920
I guess it's how the angles started. It started with a with a break

470
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:39.200
into Wardlow's car right by QT and
Aaron Solo broke into the car. They

471
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.279
stole his belt, they stole his
gear, they stole his passport. So

472
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:49.440
I guess this was his auto revenge
sheer on this crew here. All I

473
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:53.400
know is this TNT championship stuff.
I'm just it's it's ice cold right now.

474
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.480
It's ice cold right now. We
had an international title defense on this

475
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:00.960
show. Come up. And I've
said it before, I'll say it again.

476
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:07.039
The International title held by Orange Cassidy
feels like a bigger deal than the

477
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.039
TNT Championship does, and it should
not be. It should be the inverse

478
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:15.679
of that. The TNT title should
be the most revered championship outside of the

479
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:21.400
AW World Heavyweight Championship, and it
doesn't feel that way at all. Now.

480
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.239
We got a video package with switch
Blade J. White one week after

481
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:29.920
he made his official AW debut.
He's made appearances before an AW, but

482
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.159
this was his official full time debut
because he is all elite now. So

483
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:38.320
we got a video this week with
Switchblade J. White and Juice Robinson saying

484
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:43.000
that they were the best of the
bunch, with Bullet Club calling themselves the

485
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:45.800
Bang Bang Gang. Wait, I
thought, I think I saw a video

486
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.519
like that once. Yeah, you
might want to you might want to reconsider

487
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:58.039
that name. So they call themselves
the Bang Bang Gang. Robinson asked Ricky

488
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.840
Stars how the Blade Runner felt last
week. J White said he's here to

489
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:07.719
claim was rightfully his This is only
the beginning. This is Bullet Club Gold.

490
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:15.880
I for one, cannot wait for
Bullet Club Silver and Bullet Club Bronze

491
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:21.360
or they're really beating this Bullet Club
thing to death, aren't they? What

492
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:25.559
year? What year did Bullet Club
start? What year did Bullet Club start?

493
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:30.960
Was it? Was it two thousand
eleven? Was something like that?

494
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:36.639
Right? Yeah, beaaten this.
I thought the nWo was bad. How

495
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:39.119
many versions of that did we get? Right, nWo, nWo Wolfpack.

496
00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:44.960
We had the nWo two thousand.
I don't know if you want to count

497
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.639
the LWO, which we now have
that back. I don't know how many

498
00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:54.119
offshoots of that there were, but
yeah, it was twenty thirteen or twenty

499
00:35:54.519 --> 00:36:01.159
was it two thousand and six?
That's even worse. How long are they

500
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:05.440
going to keep this thing going for? Well, now we have Bullet Club

501
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:10.199
Gold apparently you know HBO Max in
Discovery Plus they made the announcement today those

502
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:15.320
two streaming services are being merged into
one. It's going to be called Max,

503
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.400
which I mean, it seems like
a missed opportunity to me. I

504
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.400
don't know why they didn't just call
it Discovery Max. That seems like a

505
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:25.679
no brainer for me. But they're
calling it Max May twenty third, they're

506
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.920
rolling it out, which makes me
wonder, By the way, if that

507
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:30.639
could be where All In is gonna
air. They still haven't said it.

508
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.760
All In is a pay per view. It almost has to be. It's

509
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:37.519
not going to be a television special. But have they not said anything because

510
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:42.320
it might actually air on the streaming
service. You know, when Adam Cole

511
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.840
talked about the announcement last week,
he said, we're celebrating one hundred years

512
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:51.920
of the original Wembley Stadium and one
hundred years of Warner Brothers. Maybe it's

513
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:53.920
gonna air on Max. Maybe it's
gonna air on their new streaming service.

514
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.280
But I bring this up because,
you know, again they're forming this new

515
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.119
streaming service next month. I just
want to know how much how much is

516
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:07.800
this Bullet Club Gold subscription gonna be? How much is it going to cost

517
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:12.679
me to subscribe to that. That's
what I wanted. Not a fan of

518
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.840
having J White in a pretay video
like this just kind of thrown in there

519
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:20.440
one week after he made his big
debut here on this show. If ever,

520
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:22.320
there was a week to get him
out there with a live mic in

521
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:29.960
front of the crowd to formally introduce
himself and make their mission statement and announce

522
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:32.280
this Bullet Club gold stuff, this
would have been it, you know.

523
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.639
Instead, they put him in a
pretay video that again was a quick hit

524
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:38.599
and it was onto the next thing. I didn't think that was a very

525
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:43.440
strong way to follow up his debut
at all. Up next, like I

526
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:46.840
said, Orange Cassidy Buddy Matthew,
Cassidy went for an early crossbody block,

527
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:52.960
Matthews caught him, Cassidy escaped,
ended up hitting an Orange punch, and

528
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:58.840
Cassidy came up holding his fist which
was injured last week. It was already

529
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:01.800
taped up. Doctor came in to
check on his hand. Matthews ran over

530
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:07.639
and stomped on it. Heading into
the picture and picture break, Cassidy countered

531
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:14.159
a move by Matthews into a DDT
and Buddy rolled out to the ringside area.

532
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.280
Cassidy then dove through the ropes hit
a DDT on the floor. Cassidy

533
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.960
sent Matthews back inside the ring and
then hit a leap from the ropes into

534
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.679
another DDT. There were multiple ddts
in this match, all of which were

535
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:30.239
kicked out of which not really a
fan of that. Cassidy hit the orange

536
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:35.639
punch for a near fall. Ex
Caliber on commentary assumed that Cassidy's hand injury

537
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:38.559
had prevented him from throwing the punch
at full strength. That's why he didn't

538
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:43.400
win with it. Cassidy threw another
punch. Matthews, though, caught his

539
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.719
fist and then blasted him with a
knee of the face. Matthews put him

540
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:51.960
down with a stomp for a near
fall. Cassidy then hooked Matthews into the

541
00:38:52.199 --> 00:39:00.039
mousetrap pitting combination and he got the
wind. Ex Caliber said that Cassidy he

542
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:05.840
only uses the mousetrap in emergency situation. It's funny, so does Johnny Knoxville,

543
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.559
but he only uses the mousetrap in
emergency situations. So they told a

544
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:14.360
story here right from the beginning with
Cassidy's injured hand. You know, how

545
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:15.960
is he going to throw the orange
punch. How is he going to continue?

546
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:21.840
How can he possibly you know,
retain his championship here with only one

547
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.760
good hand? He had to find
another way to win, and that's what

548
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:28.960
he did. The larger story,
though, is that this man has been

549
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:32.480
running himself ragging for weeks and weeks
and weeks. There has been no champion

550
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:37.639
in this company who has defended his
championship more vigorously than Orange Cassidy. We

551
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:43.840
see him on television practically every week
with a new international title defense, and

552
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.360
you know, we hear about this
TNT Championship Open Challenge. It seems to

553
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.320
me like the real open challenge is
with R and Cassidy for the international title.

554
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:58.440
He's on TV almost every single week
defending his championship. Isn't that the

555
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.000
whole purpose? Like that should be
what the TNT Title Open Challenge is all

556
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:05.639
about. And as I said before, it just feels like this right here,

557
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.400
this title has more cache and more
value right now than the TNT title

558
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:12.480
does because we do see it being
defended more often. We are getting a

559
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:17.480
variety of opponents here with Orange Cassidy
on these shows, and he's over.

560
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.800
Whether you like the guy or not, I say it all the time,

561
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.760
because I still get emails from people. I got a Facebook message from somebody

562
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:29.440
earlier today. I was corresponding with
somebody who said, I don't get you

563
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:31.960
know, if Orange Cassidy was around
in the nineties during the Attitude are he

564
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:37.039
would you know, he would never
be popular and he would have been jobbed

565
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:37.679
out in this and that. And
I said, well, the reason he's

566
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:42.400
getting pushed is very simple. He's
over. And I know that pisses people

567
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:45.199
off who don't like him, but
facts or facts, facts don't care about

568
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:51.599
your fucking feelings. The guy is
over, that's it. That's why he's

569
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:53.599
getting pushed. If he wasn't getting
over, if he wasn't already over,

570
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.719
Tony Comb would not give him as
much airtime as he does, or they

571
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.480
would have evolved in a apted the
gimmick into something else. But he is

572
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:07.880
over to this audience. Just because
you don't like him does not mean that

573
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:13.239
he is not fulfilling a role on
this show. For Tony Kahn. That

574
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:15.360
is why he's the champion. That
is why he gets as much airtime as

575
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:20.400
he does. The people like him. This is not a hard concept.

576
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:23.239
And I said, also, by
the way, if this was the late

577
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:29.440
nineties. If you think that Orange
Cassidy would not have gotten over during that

578
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:32.320
period, you are sorely mistaken,
because, as I pointed out, in

579
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:36.639
just one example, you had a
fat samo and on television every week putting

580
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:40.320
glasses on, doing a dance,
and he got over pretty well. There

581
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.119
were plenty of silly gimmicks that got
over. This one is just stupid and

582
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:49.400
silly enough that I think even back
then, it would have had a place

583
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.280
on the show. We had Al
Snell coming out on television with a fucking

584
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.840
mannequin head, people saying head,
head, head, what does everybody want?

585
00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:00.400
Head talking to a mannequin head?
Every week, we had Perry Saturn

586
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.639
coming out. Yes, I know, Perry Saturn. Oh, he looks

587
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:06.320
more like a pro wrestler, right, you know, he's a big,

588
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:08.440
strong guy. You can't compare him
to Orange Cassidy. The guy came out

589
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:15.239
and talked to a fucking moop a
mop. There are just certain gimmicks and

590
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:22.639
certain characters that are just silly enough
that if played properly, they will get

591
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:27.199
over. So I actually think he
would have gotten over, okay, even

592
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.280
back then, And again I know
that pisses people off and it irritates them.

593
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.920
But that's just the way it is. But I still get emails and

594
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.920
messages about this. Why why is
he pushed so hard? Why is he

595
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:43.119
on television every week? It's a
very simple question with a very simple answer.

596
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:45.480
I don't know what's so hard to
understand about it. People are still

597
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:52.119
asking. But I would not have
had Buddy Matthews be the one, because

598
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.920
there were some people who said,
I I wish Buddy Matthews would have been

599
00:42:54.920 --> 00:43:00.159
the one to take the championship from
Orange Cassidy, because clearly that's what they're

600
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:04.920
building to, right he is running
himself down so much that he's going to

601
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:08.360
run at a steam and he's gonna
lose the championship. Who's he gonna lose

602
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:14.840
it to Buddy Matthews? If they're
gonna put it on somebody, Buddy Matthews

603
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.119
was not the guy I would rather
be. Malachi Black. I'm not saying

604
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:20.719
it's it's going to be him.
I'm just saying, of the members of

605
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:23.639
the House of Black, he's the
one I would rather see have a singles

606
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:30.880
title than any of the other two. So maybe it'll happen. I'm not

607
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.880
expecting it to be him. We
have Forbidden Door coming up, we have

608
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.920
double or Nothing coming up. I
would think that they might save that title

609
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.599
change for one of the two pay
per views. But of these two,

610
00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:45.679
I would rather be Malachi than Buddy
Matthews. One of them is going to

611
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:52.000
get a championship win over Orange Cassidy. So after the break, we had

612
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:57.079
Renee. She was in the back
and she wanted an update on Cassidy's hand.

613
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:00.960
He was standing there. He had
a nice pack on its friends Challenge

614
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:06.960
Aussie Open, fresh off their IWGP
Tag Team title win over Bishamone at the

615
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.880
Soccer A Genesis Show last weekend.
They are the new IWGP Tag Team Champions.

616
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.320
They challenge them to come on over
Fly on over here to Milwaukee on

617
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.800
Rampage this Friday, and it is
official we will get an IWGP Tag Team

618
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:25.000
title match on Rampage this week.
In the ring, we were supposed to

619
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:31.320
have the Blackpool Combat Club and instead
we had all Ego Ethan Page standing in

620
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:36.679
the middle of the ring with a
microphone cutting a pro. He complained about

621
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.000
Matt Hardy costing him his match last
week with Hook and noted that Stokely Hathaway

622
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.679
was still out injured. Page said
that Hardy still works for him and demanded

623
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:51.000
to know what he put in their
contract. Matt Hardy and Isaiah Cassidy came

624
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:52.800
out, and for those who don't
know, because there have been some questions

625
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:57.039
about Mark Quinn, what happened to
Mark Quinny hasn't been around in a while.

626
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:00.320
I believe he's hurt. I don't
know the nature of the injury,

627
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.199
but I believe it is an injury. So that is why we have not

628
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:09.840
seen it. So here comes Matt
Hardy and Isaiah Cassid. Hardy said that

629
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:15.719
he manipulated Ethan Page as the contract
said that if Hook beat Page, then

630
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:22.079
Hardy and private party are no longer
under the dominion of the fur Now keep

631
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:28.119
that in mind. Ten seconds later, Matt Hardy, who obviously has been

632
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:31.079
hit way too many times in the
head with a chair, said that they

633
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:35.400
also get to pick a match and
a stipulation that if they win, they

634
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:38.880
will no longer be in the firm. So in the span of ten seconds,

635
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:45.639
he contradicted himself. This dumb storyline
needs to be over immediately. Thankfully,

636
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:49.880
it looks like it is heading for
the finish line. Page said the

637
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:54.559
firm consists of more than just him
and Stokely and like a couple of morons.

638
00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.400
Hardy and Isaiah Cassidy begin to walk
towards the ring, not realizing that

639
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:07.000
coming up behind them are Lee Moriarty
and Big Bill. Big Bill completely wiped

640
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:09.880
out Isaiah Cassidy by the way.
They were almost to the ring, and

641
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:15.400
Big Bill, who's a lot bigger
than Isaiah Cassidy, nailed him from behind,

642
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.159
and Cassidy just went boom like,
face forward right into the ring aprons

643
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:23.280
and he wiped him out. Hook
made his entrance. He tried to help

644
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:27.559
Hardy and Cassidy, but was quickly
out and numbered. Holy shit. You

645
00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:31.079
know, when we were talking about
the End of the Year awards and talking

646
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:37.320
about Rookie of the Year and is
it Hook or is it Dominic or is

647
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.599
it Logan? Paul Cook was kind
of white hot there for a while.

648
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:45.119
And now I look at Dominic mysterio
and I think Dominic has leap frogged He's

649
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:51.320
leap frogged him by leaps and bounds. It's amazing how quickly things can change.

650
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:54.920
So then Hardy's music plays, but
Matt Hardy was already in the ring,

651
00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:00.800
and so you knew it wasn't him
coming out. Who could be Why

652
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:07.320
it's Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy who
walked out his first appearance in nearly a

653
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:13.440
year since the last DUI. At
least this time. Like I said earlier,

654
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:16.360
he didn't stop to dance on the
ramp before coming to the ring with

655
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:22.960
a chair to help out his brother. He got a huge reaction. He

656
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.119
worked over the heels with a chair. Jeff had a twist of fate to

657
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.760
Moriarty and then went up and he
hit a swanton bomb, and I know

658
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:35.400
people pop for it because that's his
thing, that's his big move. He

659
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.679
hits the swanton bomb, which I
think is the last thing he needs to

660
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:44.159
be doing, as he has talked
about how physically painful it is for him

661
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.000
to even hit the move. That's
why he scaled back so much doing it.

662
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:51.159
But I guess he hasn't been in
the ring. He's had almost a

663
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:53.239
year. I guess you could say
to rest up his body. So he

664
00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:58.239
busted at a swanton bomb for all
the fans, and Matt Hardy had a

665
00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:00.280
big smile on his because look,
this is his brother, right of course

666
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:06.880
it's his brother, so he's very
happy to see his brothers seemingly healthy and

667
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:12.800
happy and back. And yes,
also storyline wise, this is the greatest

668
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.840
thing that could happen to Matt Hardy
because it'll get him out of firm hell

669
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:20.480
that he's been stuck in now for
months and months and months, And now

670
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:22.760
he and his brother can go on
to tag team partner, you know again,

671
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:28.400
and I'm sure they'll end up becoming
aw tag team champions. Then again,

672
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.719
I assumed that was going to happen
last year, and we all saw

673
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:35.519
what happened. But assuming that he
can stay out of trouble, I'm sure

674
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:38.039
that's where this is headed because that's
the one set of tag team belts at

675
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:42.760
don't I don't believe they've held them. I don't even remember anymore. I'm

676
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:45.079
pretty sure they did not hold them
in the time that Jeff was on the

677
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:47.960
roster last year. But you had
to know that's eventually where that was going

678
00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:57.119
to be headed. Am I am
I surprised to see Jeff back on television.

679
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.400
No, I'm not. His court
case is over. For those who

680
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:05.800
don't know he missed it. That
was several weeks ago. His court case

681
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:08.719
is over. Tony Kahn said that
if he gets help, he goes to

682
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:13.159
rehab and gets help that he would
welcome Jeff back to the roster. So

683
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:17.119
it really was not a matter of
if. It was a matter of way.

684
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:22.840
So I am not surprised to see
Jeff Hardy back on AW television.

685
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:25.639
If it wasn't AW, it would
have been WWE, And if it wasn't

686
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.519
WWE, it would have been some
other company or some other promoter who would

687
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:38.119
have welcomed him back. So again
not not surprising. It's Jeff's choice ultimately

688
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:44.440
to make whether or not he wants
to come back. I don't think him

689
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:47.079
being of the ring is a good
idea. Again, it's his life,

690
00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:52.320
He's the one making the decisions.
I'm just a fan on the outside looking

691
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:53.960
in watching this guy out there.
I don't think him being in the ring

692
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:57.760
is the best place for him to
be. I think that's a mistake,

693
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:04.239
but that's where he feels the most
comfortable. I think that him being in

694
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:07.480
the rings the second worst place for
him to be. Second only two behind

695
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:14.639
the wheel of a car. And
per the punishment that he was dealt with

696
00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:19.440
this most recent case, his driver's
license has been suspended for a total of

697
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:23.599
ten years, so technically he is
not going to be allowed behind the wheel

698
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:28.320
of a car. As we've seen
before with other people, that doesn't necessarily

699
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:31.760
mean that even with Jeff, Even
with Jeff who's had his license revoked and

700
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:36.320
suspended in the past, that did
not stop him from getting behind the wheel

701
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:38.960
of a car. So yes,
he's technically not allowed to do that for

702
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:45.360
ten years, that doesn't mean anything. If somebody has a serious problem,

703
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.320
that will not stop them from getting
behind the wheel of a car. And

704
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:51.800
that's what I mean when I talk
about him being in the ring not being

705
00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:55.280
the best place for him to be, because it's this vicious cycle where you

706
00:50:55.400 --> 00:51:00.320
take these bumps, especially as much
as he has ravaged his body over the

707
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.079
years, you take these bumps,
and you do these swantons, and you

708
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.639
take these big bumps off the top
of ladders and stuff, and you start

709
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:10.679
getting yourself into trouble. And what
do you do, especially if you don't

710
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:13.920
want to take pills, what do
you do to medicate? What do you

711
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:17.599
do to feel better? You drink, You do things you're not supposed to

712
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:21.079
be doing. I don't want to
see him go back down that road for

713
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:27.360
a multitude of reasons, not only
for himself, but for everybody else that's

714
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:31.599
my concern. And you know,
fuck me, I guess right. It's

715
00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:35.400
Jeff Hardy. He's back. This
is great, Okay, cool, but

716
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:38.119
let's look at the reality of the
situation, right. I hope, for

717
00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:43.719
Jeff's sake he's got a clear head
and a clear mind, and for his

718
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:46.639
wellbeing and the wellbeing of everybody else
on the road, I hope that is

719
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:54.159
the case, and I hope to
god it stays that way. But excuse

720
00:51:54.199 --> 00:52:00.360
me if I not as excited when
I see this as everybody else's. But

721
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:04.280
he has a smile on his face, and he looked happy to be back,

722
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:07.920
and hey, for his sake,
I certainly hope that that is the

723
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:13.639
case. But he's a very lucky
man. He's a very lucky man that

724
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:16.760
his punishment was what it was,
because it could have been a hell of

725
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:22.360
a lot worse. And you might
even say that he got off a lot

726
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:25.360
easier than some people expected. But
the fans were happy to see him.

727
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:30.159
So he'll always be over no matter
what. He'll always be over that music

728
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.440
hits Jeff comes out poses right,
does the whole Jeff Hardy post. He's

729
00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:37.960
gonna be over no matter what,
because he's Jeff Hardy and people love him

730
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.400
and he always of course he was
going to get the big comeback Pop.

731
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:44.159
You knew he was always going to
get the big comeback Bob. And so

732
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:47.519
we'll see, I guess we'll see
how long it takes for him and Matt

733
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:52.159
two challenge for those tag team titles. FTR just won them back, so

734
00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:55.960
it's not going to be anytime soon. But FTR and the Hardies for the

735
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.000
tag team titles? Is that a
marquee match for Tony Condon book? Yeah,

736
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.079
of course it is, absolutely,
absolutely, But it's a match that

737
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.400
I hold off on for a long
time. You make them work for it,

738
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:10.480
you make them earn it, and
you make sure, frankly, that

739
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:15.679
you can trust this person to not
get into trouble again. I think there

740
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:21.599
has to be a period of time
that goes by where Jeff has to prove

741
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:25.360
that he's in a good place and
he can be trusted, and then you

742
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:30.079
can book the match, because that
is a marquee match that Tony Conkin book.

743
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:37.679
Now, we had video prerecorded video
of Kenny Omega seemingly from his home

744
00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:46.559
where he talked about the attack by
the Blackpool Combat Club who took out the

745
00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:52.400
Young Bucks previously, and they took
out him. But the one thing that

746
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:55.800
bothered him the most was taking out
Don Callis. He said. Callis is

747
00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:59.639
not the most likable guy in the
world, and his room will not be

748
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:04.280
filled with flowers or get well cards, but he is still family, you

749
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:07.159
know. Omega said that it would
not be blood for blood, it would

750
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:13.280
be much worse. The next time
he sees the members of the Blackpool Combat

751
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:17.280
Club that John Moxley and Claudio Castagnolia
were out in next to take on Brandon

752
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:22.840
Cutler and Michael Knakazawa. I don't
know, it's just like a new age

753
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.199
job squad here, because it feels
like it to me. I don't care

754
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:30.920
about Brandon Cutler, I don't care
about Michael Knackazowa, and therefore I didn't

755
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:36.159
care about this match. Moxley and
Claudio. They blindsided them. Moxley drove

756
00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:39.719
a chair into the neck of Cutler. Knockazawa was driven repeatedly headfirst into the

757
00:54:39.719 --> 00:54:45.079
apron by Claudio and he got bloodied
up. So of course we had blood

758
00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:49.519
here in this match. Rick Knox
started the match as Knockazawa crawled into the

759
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.239
ring, He started throwing four arms
at Claudio, who steamrolled him with a

760
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:59.360
clothesline, and a giant swing followed. I'm sure as the blood sprayed all

761
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.679
over the play on the giant swing, Claudio got the sharpshooter, replied,

762
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:08.599
held on for far too long,
far too long, waiting for Brandon Cutler

763
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:12.719
to roll into the ring and try
to break up this move. It is

764
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:19.079
Michael Nakazawa when you have Claudio Castignoli, who happens to also be the reigning

765
00:55:19.159 --> 00:55:22.320
Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Champion,
and he is applying the sharpshooter, which

766
00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:27.519
is a maneuver that he has used
to win matches before, and you are

767
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:31.519
Michael Nakazawa and you are putting a
sharpshooter by Claudio, you tap out instead.

768
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:36.000
He laid there and he held on, and he held on, and

769
00:55:36.079 --> 00:55:42.760
he held on stupid, So Cutler
tried to go ahead and save his boy.

770
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:45.880
Here Knakazawa backdrop free from a pile
driver. Cutler made a tag.

771
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:52.360
Moxley started biting his face. He
also got chance of you sick fuck king

772
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:55.840
Kong lariat connected, followed by the
death rider. Moxley and Claudio beat down

773
00:55:55.840 --> 00:56:00.639
the job squad then until Rick Knox
employed the mercy rule and he threw the

774
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:06.920
match away called for the bell because
these men could take no more. Moxley

775
00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:12.920
took the microphone after the match and
he said that the elites and Don Callis

776
00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:16.559
had glass jaws. Kenny Omega's music
hit and out he walked on stage.

777
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:22.920
He wasn't even supposed to be there. There he was, and with the

778
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:29.639
Blackpool Combat Club's attention turned towards the
stage, the Young Bucks ran in from

779
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:32.519
behind. They delivered a pair of
superkicks. Matt had a sleeve on his

780
00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:37.679
arm, the arm where he has
the partially torn biceps that he is still

781
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:44.559
doing therapy for. The Bucks laid
out Moxley with the BTE trigger as Omega

782
00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:49.400
slid in a toolbox and he was
going to clock Boxley with it until Matt

783
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:53.559
Jackson jumped in the way and said
wait, and he handed Omega a screwdriver.

784
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:59.840
Remember last week it was Brian Danielson
using a screwdriver on Hangman Page.

785
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:05.079
So now they hand the screwdriver to
Kenny Omega. Moxley spits in Matt Jackson's

786
00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:08.519
face. He dared Omega to do
it, and Claudio pulled him free,

787
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:13.920
and the Blackpool Combat Club retreated through
the crowd. I believe the screwdriver ended

788
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:19.159
up in the top turnbuckle. I
believe so the crowd was happy to see

789
00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:22.880
the elite. I was very amused
though, that Kenny Omega was in the

790
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:27.119
building this entire time, and he
allowed his good friends. He allowed Michael

791
00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:30.920
Knakazawa and Brandon Cutler to go out
there like Lamb's being led to slaughter,

792
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:36.880
and then only when the match was
over did he decide to come on out

793
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:39.480
and make the same. He let
those guys go out there and get their

794
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:45.000
asses handed to them, have their
asses handed to them on a platter,

795
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:50.480
even though he was in the back
the entire time. No Hangman Page,

796
00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:52.679
No Brian Danielson on the show,
but they didn't have to be. I

797
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:58.079
didn't expect Hangman to be after what
happened to him last time. But Danielson

798
00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:02.239
was missed. I missed not having
him on the show. We had Tony

799
00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:12.199
Storm and Ruby Soho against Riho and
sky Blue. Soho and Storm kept Riho

800
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:17.119
isolated during the commercial break before Riho
counter Destination Unknown into a roll up for

801
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:22.719
a two count. The match briefly
broke down with Riho hitting a double stump

802
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:27.760
on Soho ate a kick though from
Tony. Riho got sent outside by Tony

803
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:31.679
Storm, who hit a German suplex, sweet Cheek music, and finally the

804
00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:38.840
Storm zero on Sky Blue to get
the wind for the Outcasts. Postmatch,

805
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:44.079
Riho was beaten down by the Outcast. They spray painted and elle on her

806
00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:46.719
before delivering a triple power bomb and
doing their butt. The only thing they

807
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:50.320
didn't do was put their fists out, like the Shield did. I mean,

808
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:52.800
that's the only thing that was missing
from this. They were doing their

809
00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:59.719
best Shield impersonation here. Jamie Hayter
sprinted down to the rain. She got

810
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:01.880
worm though, only for Britt Baker
to hit the ring. So they gave

811
00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:06.199
Britt Baker the big entrance here because
BRIT's been out, she's had a back

812
00:59:06.199 --> 00:59:10.000
injury. Ordinarily that would bother me, because you know I would I would

813
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:13.840
do it the opposite way, have
Britt Baker come out, then have your

814
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:16.480
champion come out. But again,
they wanted to give Britt some shine because

815
00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:21.880
this was her big return. She
hasn't been really all that physically active in

816
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:25.440
recent weeks, and I know on
the All Access Show, she's talked about

817
00:59:25.480 --> 00:59:30.559
her back injury and they've showed her
getting injections, and apparently it is a

818
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:35.559
legitimate injury. It's not gone away. It's affecting her back and her neck,

819
00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:39.800
and perhaps we should have thunder Rosa
commenting about what a phony injury it

820
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:44.920
is that she has. Anyway,
so she got into a slug fest with

821
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:49.599
Soreya that did not look good.
I will just say that this did not

822
00:59:49.679 --> 00:59:52.239
look good. They were, i
mean, just very weak looking shots.

823
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:55.440
If you're gonna have a slug fest, if you're gonna have a you know

824
00:59:55.480 --> 01:00:00.719
again, a back and forth,
you know, lay him in a little

825
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:02.960
bit. Yeah, I'm not saying
knocker loopy, but make it look good.

826
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:07.440
They did not make this look good. Britt went for a curbstop Soreya,

827
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:09.239
though, got pulled to safety by
Storm and soho. It's the same

828
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:13.960
segment. My biggest critique of this, it's the same segment every single week

829
01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:19.239
on repeat. It's the same shit
every week with the ladies here in this

830
01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:24.079
program. It feels like the tires
are stuck in the mud every week with

831
01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:30.840
this. The main event on this
show was a first time ever match Chris

832
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:36.679
Jericho one on one with Keith Lee. Daniel Garcia was at ringside in Jericho's

833
01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:40.079
corner hole. Is Daniel Garcia ringside, we would see a lot of him

834
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:45.760
in this match. Jericho tried to
shoulder tackle early on and it resulted in

835
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:47.800
Keith Lee no selling it and kissing
Jericho on the top of his head.

836
01:00:49.719 --> 01:00:52.079
Lee went to the ropes. Garcia, though, distracted the referee long enough

837
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:59.320
for Jericho to connect with his springboard
corner dropkick. Jericho controlled the action all

838
01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:05.280
throughout the commercial break. Lion Salt
connected Lee launched Jericho off of him.

839
01:01:05.559 --> 01:01:08.960
During the cover, Keith Lee got
tripped up by Garcia long enough to distract

840
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:15.639
him as Lee and Jericho seemed to
be on different pages briefly, and then

841
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:21.000
they got it together. Jericho got
he got pounced halfway across the ring.

842
01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:24.320
Lee took a long time to follow
up try to moonsalt. Jericho got the

843
01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:30.280
knees up, but Jericho after that
got an eye rake and locked on the

844
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:34.360
walls of Jericho, but Lee powered
out of it. Keith Lee clocked Jericho

845
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:37.800
with an overhand shop at a beal, and he dumped Daniel Garcia over the

846
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:42.639
top rope into the ring. When
he interfered again, one of many times

847
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:45.920
he interfered here in this match,
and he and Jericho ended up eating a

848
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:50.519
double clothesline. Lee powered out of
a codebreaker attempt, countered into a spirit

849
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:55.719
bomb. Garcia again took the referee. I had lost track at this point

850
01:01:55.719 --> 01:02:01.320
of how many times this happened,
eighteen nineteen. Legitimately it was probably three,

851
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:06.079
but it felt like eighteen or nineteen. So he takes Aubrey Edwards,

852
01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:12.480
and all of a sudden, we
see a masked man clearly swerved strictly come

853
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:15.280
down to ringside, and he whacked
Keith Lee in the head with some sort

854
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:17.800
of foreign object. It looked like
maybe it was the ring bell, but

855
01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:21.960
I couldn't tell. It happened so
quickly, but he hit him in the

856
01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:28.159
head with something. Jericho then slowly
crawled over, draped an arm over keithh

857
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:36.559
Lee and got the pinfall win.
After the match, Adam Cole's music hits.

858
01:02:36.800 --> 01:02:40.599
He walks down to the ring and
he checks on Keith Lee at ringside.

859
01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:45.360
They're outside of the ring, kind
of kneeling down. Cole not looking

860
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:50.159
in the ring, not looking at
Jericho, just talking to Keighley, making

861
01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:53.119
sure he's okay, And this is
exactly the same thing that Jericho did for

862
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:57.719
Daniel Garcia a few weeks ago when
he wrestled at him Cole and Cole's comeback

863
01:02:57.760 --> 01:03:01.559
match on Dynamite. Cole, you
know, never turned around to look at

864
01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:06.280
Jericho. He just kind of gave
him the side eye and then he kept

865
01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:08.920
walking up the ramp. And this
made Jericho furious. He had a big

866
01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:14.519
pissed off scowl on his face because
here's this man disrespecting him and stealing his

867
01:03:14.599 --> 01:03:17.639
thunder here at the end of the
show. And that is how Dynamite went

868
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:22.360
off the air. You know,
there was somebody in the chat a little

869
01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:30.840
bit earlier on before I went live
who is using the false argument that you

870
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:37.519
know, a lot of people and
a lot of podcasters were crying about the

871
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:40.800
fact that Adam Cole was possibly going
to be paired up with Keith Lee back

872
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:45.800
in WWE, and here they are, you know, they're kind of not

873
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:47.639
that they're partnered up, but you
know, here they are paired up in

874
01:03:47.639 --> 01:03:52.119
a way here in aw and everybody's
okay with it, as if that is

875
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:58.719
a legitimate argument. Why do people
do that? Why do people do that?

876
01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:02.960
Why do people miss a lead like
that. The issue had nothing to

877
01:04:03.000 --> 01:04:08.800
do with Adam Cole and Keith Lee
being paired up as like partners. The

878
01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:15.760
issue was that there was an idea
pitched to have Adam Cole the manager on

879
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:23.000
the main roster for Keith Lee.
So think of La Night as a male

880
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:30.000
modeling agent right representing Massei and Manswa. That was the idea. That was

881
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:35.159
the pitch to have Adam Cole as
a manager for keith Lee. Not as

882
01:04:35.199 --> 01:04:40.119
a friend, not as an associate, not as a tag team partner,

883
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:45.639
not as an equal. It is
not the same thing. Don't be stupid.

884
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:50.880
Don't do that. Don't do As
far as this show is concerned,

885
01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:54.719
I look, I didn't like this
made event as much as the opener.

886
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:59.079
I didn't like it as much as
the Buddy Matthews match with Orange Cassidy.

887
01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:02.079
It was good. The constant interference, though, took it down several notches

888
01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:05.280
for me. I was happy to
see Keithley in the main event for a

889
01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:10.199
change. Him and Swerved Strickland being
on the Wednesday show instead of the Friday

890
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:14.920
show was a nice change. That
was a positive change. On the whole.

891
01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:16.039
I thought it was a good show. It was nothing that set the

892
01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.559
world on fire. It was a
mixed bag. There was good, there

893
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:23.599
was bad, or at least good
and less good. I guess you would

894
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:28.039
say nothing egregiously bad. But you
know, again, the TNT title stuff

895
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:30.639
right now does nothing for me.
I was not a fan of the angle

896
01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.000
they did tonight. I think it
was a mistake to not have j White

897
01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:35.719
with a live mic in his hand
the week after he made his debut,

898
01:05:36.239 --> 01:05:40.719
put him in the ring instead him
doing a quick pre tape video with him

899
01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:45.199
and Juice Robinson. I didn't like
that. But they did forward several storylines

900
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:49.679
as well. They forwarded the storyline
with Chris Jericho and Adam Cole. They

901
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:55.880
forwarded the feud which they're now starting
to get back to with Keith Lee,

902
01:05:55.880 --> 01:06:00.320
and swerved Strickland even in the Orange
Cassidy match with his injury in the injured

903
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:02.079
hand, they were telling a story. Even in the Orange Cassidy match.

904
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:08.840
The Darby stuff with MJF I thought
that was great. Again, not a

905
01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:12.280
fan of the Wardlow and Hobbs stuff, but even that story, they moved

906
01:06:12.320 --> 01:06:15.840
that ahead and now those two are
gonna have a t NT Championship match on

907
01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:24.920
Dynamite next Wednesday. So Rampage lineup
for Friday has Jungle Boy against Sean Spears.

908
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:30.960
Aussie Opened defend the iw GP tag
team titles against best Friends. We're

909
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:36.400
gonna hear from the new champions.
FTR Tye Valkyrie takes on Emmy Soccra,

910
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:42.480
Mark Briscoe, Jeff Jarrett, Jay
Lethal and Satnam Sing will all be in

911
01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:46.239
action and on Dynamite Next Wednesday,
the Women's champion Jamie Hayter teams up with

912
01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:53.239
Britt Baker against Tony Storman Ruby,
Soho Powerhouse Hobbs defends the TNT title against

913
01:06:53.960 --> 01:07:00.280
Wardlow. I'm being told we were
only fifteen likes away before we even get

914
01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:03.119
to your super chats. We're only
fifteen LICs away from the goals, So

915
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:06.920
go ahead and hit that thumbs up. Awesome. Here's a Twitter Paul.

916
01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:12.599
Fifty eight point seven percent of view
have given the show tonight a thumbs up,

917
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:17.199
twenty four point three percent thumbs in
the middle, and seventeen percent gave

918
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:27.360
this Dynamite a thumbs down. And
Bash I missed the Christian and Dinosaur segment

919
01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:30.360
because it wasn't much of a segment. It was really no different than last

920
01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:32.320
week. There was nothing to talk
about. Christian was on the show in

921
01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:38.280
a red light, red lit room
with the Dinosaur. He made a comment

922
01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:41.960
and they went to commercial. There
you go. See now you're all caught

923
01:07:42.039 --> 01:07:45.079
up. But yes, fifty eight
point seven percent thumbs up, so we're

924
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:49.960
under sixty percent thumbs up for the
show. Go ahead and vote at Solemn

925
01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:58.400
Monster on Twitter. That was really
it. But the Dinosaur and Christian,

926
01:07:58.880 --> 01:08:03.960
like I said, not to really
speak of when they actually say something interesting

927
01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:06.440
and worthwhile, I will be sure
to bring it to you here on these

928
01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:12.840
reviews. He said things have changed. Okay, yeah, that's what he

929
01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:16.119
said, things have changed. He
didn't elaborate on that. He just said

930
01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:24.039
things have changed. I don't know. We saw Christian Elucasaurus previously. That

931
01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:35.359
really hasn't changed. He didn't tell
us what's changed. Groovy Goose, thank

932
01:08:35.399 --> 01:08:41.560
you for the ninety nine cents.
OZ and Glorious says they are overdoing this

933
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:47.239
pillar's thing. Fact that Darby took
the first thirty five minutes of Dynamite and

934
01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:56.199
new signing J White dot forty five
seconds is absurd. I agree that they

935
01:08:56.199 --> 01:08:59.800
should have given J White more than
that. I don't have an issue with

936
01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:02.600
what they did with Darby, because
again they're building to a world championship match

937
01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:06.640
in their main event for goubl or
nothing. And Okay, maybe you are

938
01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:11.680
tired of them over playing the idea
of the pillars, as they keep saying

939
01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:17.680
that word, but that's what they
are. These are the young names that

940
01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:23.119
they built this company around from day
one that did not come from WWE,

941
01:09:23.119 --> 01:09:27.680
They did not come from somewhere else. Of note, they really made a

942
01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:30.760
name on a national stage here in
this company. And now I think it's

943
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:32.760
I think it's cool that here we
are now heading into a pay per view

944
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:39.319
where this main event, likely a
four way, is going to be contested

945
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:44.359
among four guys who all built up
their profile and built up their name primarily

946
01:09:44.439 --> 01:09:49.239
in this company. That is a
positive thing. That is something to be

947
01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:59.560
celebrated. Dan Teller, what are
your thoughts on Jeff Hardy making an appearance

948
01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:03.079
tonight? Already talked about Jeff Hardy
earlier in the review, Dan, thank

949
01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:11.239
you Vanilla Gorilla, but the twenty
bucks so it's my birthday and aw gave

950
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:15.239
me the return of my favorite wrestler
of all time, Jeff Hardy. But

951
01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:18.119
this return is obviously tarnished and I
don't know how to feel. I want

952
01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:26.000
to enjoy, but he lost the
right to ask for more chances. Well,

953
01:10:26.079 --> 01:10:30.680
look, if you're a Jeff Hardy
fan, be happy that Jeff Hardy

954
01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:35.560
is back. Enjoy it. You're
a fan of his, then should be

955
01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:41.640
happy that he's back. I don't
think the Ring is the place for him

956
01:10:41.640 --> 01:10:48.079
to be. That's how I feel. Big Armada nineteen eighty eight. Is

957
01:10:48.079 --> 01:10:53.640
it me? Or are the jas, BCC and the Outcast just three variations

958
01:10:53.640 --> 01:11:00.199
of the same stable who hates anybody
who is not like? Isn't that all

959
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:05.079
heel factions on? I think you
could say that to some extent about all

960
01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:13.560
heel facts. Thomas with the ten
dollars super chow. When it comes to

961
01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:15.199
Jeff Hardy, I hate to say
this, but I was not as excited

962
01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:19.800
as I was last year in his
debut. In my mind, I think

963
01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:24.239
to myself, how long will he
stay clean? Too many disappointments? Do

964
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:29.920
you agree? Yeah? I mean
that thought is always there. The thought

965
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:34.960
is always there. Okay, he's
back, but for how long? You

966
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:40.279
know? At some point, you
just you get to a point where you

967
01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:45.000
have all these chances, you have
all these opportunities, and it becomes pretty

968
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:50.960
clear that the biggest enabler of all
is this. It's wrestling, it's the

969
01:11:51.079 --> 01:11:56.880
ring, it's the bumps, it's
the lifestyle. It just is not conducive

970
01:11:57.760 --> 01:12:01.479
to a healthy, positive lifestyle for
certain people. And it just seems to

971
01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:05.840
me that Jeff Hardy is one of
those people, and now here he is

972
01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:11.000
thrust back into it. I get
that he's a big star, and I

973
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:15.319
get the g's hard You know,
Tony Khan probably made certain promises to him

974
01:12:15.359 --> 01:12:18.439
and also wants to be able to
do a Hardy Boys reunion, and you

975
01:12:18.520 --> 01:12:21.520
know the promoter in him. I
get it. I get it, But

976
01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:28.119
again, I just don't think that
that's the best place for him to be.

977
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:32.039
I hope he knows what he's doing. Fire pandas So Jeff Hardy is

978
01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:35.800
back in AW makes me wonder when
Sunny will make your debut in AW.

979
01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:39.880
I know you would just love that, solom Us, Oh yeah, I

980
01:12:39.920 --> 01:12:44.239
would. I would love that.
You know, Tammy Sitch and Chris Candido

981
01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:47.319
are getting their own dark Side of
the Ring episode in season four. The

982
01:12:47.359 --> 01:12:53.439
new season starts next month and they're
gonna have an episode devoted entirely to that.

983
01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:57.560
You can do a whole season on
Tammy alone, but they're gonna have

984
01:12:57.600 --> 01:13:01.600
a new episode in the new season. M sonned I loved the little nod

985
01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:06.079
to Bret Hart when Claudia was bouncing
Nakazawa's head off the mat over and over,

986
01:13:06.199 --> 01:13:15.359
and he slapped it like fifty times
in a row. Jm Breemachine Racing

987
01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:21.720
queen. Oh no, you've you've
stayed a dream machine, now for life

988
01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:28.000
a gorilla. Hope the Hardy's gonna
have their big retirement match before Jeff falls

989
01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:35.159
off the wagon again. Rodimus Prime
with the ten dollars with Jesus with a

990
01:13:35.239 --> 01:13:42.479
ten dollars super Chaz fucking helicopter over
my house. They found me, They

991
01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.800
found me, Rodimus. Jeff Hardy
is back, and I hope he keeps

992
01:13:45.800 --> 01:13:48.479
it together this time. That being
said, I think this should be the

993
01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:54.800
last straw for him, no matter
what I mean. We've heard this before.

994
01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:00.520
Drew Johnson with the fifty bucks,
the first, the first of many.

995
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:03.840
I think we've exhausted all of them
at this point, but the first

996
01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:08.600
of many. Bring cmpunk back and
says solom monster, you are the man.

997
01:14:09.079 --> 01:14:17.439
Thank you. Drew falls in Risky
Rumsey. Ah, Yes, my

998
01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:24.800
favorite Jeff Hardy Finisher, the Stunner
of Fate. I did kind of look

999
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:30.319
like that. I guess Clidas Smith, the Fourth Tony Conscience, humble Punk

1000
01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:32.920
by having him get squashed by Moxley
and the elite in Chicago, teach him

1001
01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:40.079
a lesson in humility. What do
you think I mean, I don't look.

1002
01:14:40.119 --> 01:14:45.439
If you're gonna bring CM Punk back, you're bringing him back because you

1003
01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:50.720
feel like he is an attraction and
because he is somebody who is going to

1004
01:14:50.760 --> 01:14:57.880
help you make money pay per views, and bringing him back and immediately jobbing

1005
01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:01.039
him out. I mean, if
it's one match, whoever he wrestles in

1006
01:15:01.039 --> 01:15:03.640
his first match, I mean,
yes, he might lose, But if

1007
01:15:03.640 --> 01:15:06.520
the idea is to bring him back
and humble him by just jobbing him out,

1008
01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:13.359
then why even bring him back in
the first place. Brandon McNeil with

1009
01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:17.479
the nineteen ninety nine. Sometimes the
algorithm knocks it out of the park.

1010
01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:23.039
I was exposed to the channel during
the Summer Slam Flair's last match weekend,

1011
01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:26.680
and I've been a fan ever since. We are truly appreciated. Thank you

1012
01:15:26.720 --> 01:15:29.800
for everything, Solomn Monster Well,
Brandon, thank you man. I appreciate

1013
01:15:29.920 --> 01:15:32.680
that I remember that too. That
was a that was a busy end of

1014
01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:38.800
July last year we had the Flair
pay per view. I did a whole

1015
01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:46.039
review for that. That was that
was something, that was something. But

1016
01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:51.840
I'm glad that you found the channel
down bad with the fifty dollars super chat?

1017
01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:58.119
How about that down bead giving Drew
Johnson a little run for his money?

1018
01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:01.800
Here? What's up, solomonst I
think CM punk will come back,

1019
01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:05.000
but it would only be a matter
of time before he has another episode.

1020
01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:13.039
I don't think he would get along
with the elite for very low Yeah.

1021
01:16:13.119 --> 01:16:17.920
Look, I mean I've talked about
the punk stuff so much. You bring

1022
01:16:18.000 --> 01:16:20.479
him back, you do so at
your own risk because it's only a matter

1023
01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:27.600
of time before something else happens,
especially if he's around people that he has

1024
01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:32.880
been very publicly vocal about, who
are in pretty prominent positions in that company,

1025
01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:38.880
and something will set him off.
And again that's the risk reward that

1026
01:16:38.920 --> 01:16:42.359
Tony con has the way about bringing
back cmpunk. But I think he's I

1027
01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:45.319
think it's only a matter of time. I think he's absolutely going to become

1028
01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:48.680
a back. Brett Brode with the
ninety nine, Hey Brett, thank you,

1029
01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:54.960
sir, haven't heard from Brett.
A lot going on, Brett Zacharia

1030
01:16:55.079 --> 01:17:02.680
Sitchen. It's actually pronounced mill Wackie. It's al Gonquin for the good Land.

1031
01:17:05.720 --> 01:17:12.680
Well, thank you for that,
but everybody pronounces it in Milwaukee,

1032
01:17:14.079 --> 01:17:18.640
so apparently everybody is wrong. Ruby
Goose, can you do a kip up?

1033
01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:21.399
Thanks for the stream. I used
to be able to do a kip

1034
01:17:21.479 --> 01:17:28.319
up. Yeah, I haven't tried
one in years, so I don't know.

1035
01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:31.479
I can't. I can't say for
sure if I could still do one,

1036
01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:35.520
but I used to do them in
uh in gym class all the time.

1037
01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:45.239
Pharaoh's perspective on wrestling. I'm going
to miss Sting when he has done

1038
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:53.079
so, am I. Sting's awesome? Drew Johnson again, HBK is the

1039
01:17:53.079 --> 01:17:57.920
Goat. Sting is awesome. As
I just said, Sting is awesome,

1040
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:08.239
Drew, thank you the Rock versus
Thing awesome stream as always. I saw

1041
01:18:08.279 --> 01:18:11.640
your latest gameplay on two K twenty
three and I got to say you sold

1042
01:18:11.680 --> 01:18:15.720
that Omas Finisher like a pro.
Yeah, he tree slammed the shit out,

1043
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:23.520
screwed me over. Did Omas hit
Grosso with the nineteen ninety nine What

1044
01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:27.479
are your thoughts about Dark side of
the ring doing episodes on Janetti, magnum

1045
01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:30.520
Ta and Tammy Sitching. Chris Kendian. I think Shawn Michaels will be on

1046
01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:35.119
the Genetti episode and do we get
Tammy Live from prison. Shawn Michaels will

1047
01:18:35.159 --> 01:18:39.720
not be there. He will not
be on the show because he works for

1048
01:18:39.880 --> 01:18:42.479
w W eight, so he will
not be on there. I'm sure he

1049
01:18:42.520 --> 01:18:45.239
will not be on. Yeah,
I mean, look, that's not even

1050
01:18:45.239 --> 01:18:49.680
the entire lineup. I'll have the
entire lineup and talk about it on Sunday.

1051
01:18:49.720 --> 01:18:54.239
But yeah, I just I just
mentioned the Tammy sitching. Chris Candido.

1052
01:18:56.640 --> 01:19:00.239
Hey, dj Sonic, thank you
for the you know I should we

1053
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:03.319
were closing in on seventy three thousand. Dj Sonic may have been number seventy

1054
01:19:03.319 --> 01:19:08.960
three thousand. I'm not sure where
we're at, but we might break seventy

1055
01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:11.840
three k to night if we have
not already done so. But Nick,

1056
01:19:12.920 --> 01:19:15.640
the magnum Ta one is maybe the
one I'm looking forward to, one of

1057
01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:19.239
the ones I'm looking forward to the
most. Yeah, it's a sad story

1058
01:19:19.239 --> 01:19:21.920
would happened with him in the accident, and it's one of those what if

1059
01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:26.640
things he didn't get hurt. I
don't think it's a matter of would he

1060
01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:29.319
have been the NWA champion. I
think it's more a matter of how many

1061
01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:31.680
times would he have been the NWA
champion and would he have eventually gone on

1062
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:36.920
to WWE. So that that's one
of the ones I'm looking forward to the

1063
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:44.560
most. The Marty Janetti one scares
me because Janette is especially you see some

1064
01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:48.039
of his Facebook posts that I hear
about from time to time. Today,

1065
01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:57.439
Ah, I don't know. I'm
a little afraid of what we might hear

1066
01:19:57.479 --> 01:20:03.600
about on that episode. OZ and
Glorious a security guy slash car Valet.

1067
01:20:04.079 --> 01:20:15.439
Charlie is aw's prop master. Well
that's cool. Is Jamie Hayder's boyfriend or

1068
01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:21.079
fiance? That's a very lucky prop
master, that's the case. Why couldn't

1069
01:20:21.079 --> 01:20:26.000
Cody take Q and the Nightmare people
with them? You want QT in the

1070
01:20:26.119 --> 01:20:30.800
Nightmare Factory on WWE television. Do
you think that the QT and the Nightmare

1071
01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:39.520
crew could back up Cody against the
blood Line? Oh? Oz, what

1072
01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:43.000
are we drinking? OZ? What
are you on tonight? WHOA? How

1073
01:20:43.000 --> 01:20:47.840
many have you thrown back tonight?
Oz? Come on, don't even suggest

1074
01:20:47.880 --> 01:20:56.319
that thing. Brian H. De
green Boy with the ten bucks. Adam

1075
01:20:56.359 --> 01:21:00.840
Cole for AW World Heavyweight Champion,
Jack Perry for t NT Champion, Adam

1076
01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:05.119
Cole and Jack Perry for Tag Team
Champions. Adam Cole for President of the

1077
01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:11.520
US, Jack Perry for VP of
the US. I get the impression that

1078
01:21:11.560 --> 01:21:15.119
you're a big Adam colefan. I
can't quite put my finger on it,

1079
01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:19.800
but that's just the sense that I
get. Naughty, delicious chicken with flavor

1080
01:21:19.800 --> 01:21:24.439
of Cmpunk really wants to come back
to AW. Keep him away from the

1081
01:21:24.479 --> 01:21:27.840
AW World title picture. Fool me
one, Shame on you. Fool me

1082
01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:30.840
twice, Shame on me. Cmpunk
does not need to be the AW World

1083
01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:34.640
Champion. Yes, I agree to
keep him as far away from the title

1084
01:21:34.680 --> 01:21:40.479
as possible. He does not need
it. Supposedly, supposedly he didn't even

1085
01:21:40.520 --> 01:21:44.720
want it in the first place,
but he understood why Tony Kahn wanted to

1086
01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:47.600
put it on him. I agree
with Punk in that case. He don't

1087
01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:51.079
need it. He can be an
attraction for them. He does not need

1088
01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:58.600
to be the AW World cham won
the title twice. Both times got hurt.

1089
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:02.880
First time was a freak flukey thing, but still he dove into the

1090
01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:05.800
crowd. He broke his foot second
time. He torres tri sick. You

1091
01:22:05.800 --> 01:22:09.840
don't put the world title on him. We don't want to go through that

1092
01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:13.640
again. No more interim world champions
keep him away from the world type.

1093
01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:18.159
He can challenge for it, he
doesn't have to win it. Drew Johnson,

1094
01:22:18.720 --> 01:22:24.520
thank you again for that fifty drop. HBK is the goat, he

1095
01:22:24.560 --> 01:22:32.880
says Doctor Scorpio. Now we have
bullet Club purple thanks to fit Bullet Club

1096
01:22:32.960 --> 01:22:39.399
Purple, Lady fire Pannic. Can
we get a key's fat super chap?

1097
01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:45.840
I don't know, Maybe it's possible
not to think about it. M soned,

1098
01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:51.720
Drew's mom gonna be pissed when the
credit when the crest, when the

1099
01:22:51.720 --> 01:22:56.199
credit card bill comes in, Drew's
mom is gonna be pitt you're hearing this,

1100
01:22:56.279 --> 01:23:00.680
Drew? Are you hearing this?
Drew m Son? Just throwing some

1101
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:08.359
shade your way. Naughty delicious chicken
with flavor goontharm more over than Vince McMahon's

1102
01:23:08.439 --> 01:23:16.439
mustache Arabian Night two thousand. What
was more underrated in WWE? Punk and

1103
01:23:16.520 --> 01:23:20.479
Jeff Hardy in two thousand and nine, or Rollins and Ambrose in two thousand

1104
01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:25.760
and fourteen both had heat and good
matches. I would say Punk and Jeff

1105
01:23:25.760 --> 01:23:31.560
Hardy in two thousand and nine that
was the better of the two. But

1106
01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:34.880
I guess I'm not allowed to say
that because apparently when you say something negative

1107
01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:41.520
about cmpunk, you're a cmpunk hater. So I guess I really shouldn't be

1108
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:45.960
exposing myself there by praising his cmpunk
feud from his WWE run, because that

1109
01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:49.680
would kill the narrative. But yes, that was the better of the two

1110
01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:54.239
feuds Jeff Hardy and cmpunk. The
matches they had. The feud they had

1111
01:23:54.279 --> 01:24:00.520
there in oh nine was very good. Todd Warner, did you see that

1112
01:24:00.560 --> 01:24:03.000
Bronson Reed said he wrestled with the
flu on Monday? I know you said

1113
01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:05.760
he seemed gassed. I did see
that. As soon as Raw went off

1114
01:24:05.760 --> 01:24:12.000
the air, I saw the item
mentioning that he apparently worked his match with

1115
01:24:12.039 --> 01:24:16.000
Bobby Lashley on Monday with the flu. He had the flu for days before

1116
01:24:16.039 --> 01:24:20.279
that, And so now it makes
sense because I said, like he was

1117
01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:25.199
gassed in a way that we have
not seen in any of the other matches

1118
01:24:25.239 --> 01:24:28.560
that he has been in. It
was just very It was very weird.

1119
01:24:29.079 --> 01:24:30.479
And so when I read that it
made all the sense in the world that

1120
01:24:30.520 --> 01:24:35.800
he was sick. So he'll get
better, he and Bobby. He'll get

1121
01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:40.159
back in the ring one percent,
and then we'll get to see what those

1122
01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:47.039
two can do. The aw water
carrying shill. Yes, that's me,

1123
01:24:48.239 --> 01:24:53.560
that's me. I know I got
to carry the water for both companies.

1124
01:24:53.600 --> 01:25:01.680
I know, I know we have
got Pharaoh's PERSPECTI give on wrestling. I'd

1125
01:25:01.720 --> 01:25:14.199
buy Bullet Club gold before Global Force
golds you and me both. Food High

1126
01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:17.560
nineteen ninety nine. I've been absent
from the streams of late because I've gone

1127
01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:21.880
through the most difficult time as an
adult this year. Although I've been absent

1128
01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:26.319
from the chat, I always listen
and you all really make my day.

1129
01:25:26.399 --> 01:25:29.960
Thank you all much love, Food
Hive. I don't know what it is

1130
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:34.359
that you're going through, but I
hope everything is hopefully working out for the

1131
01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:41.199
better. Hopefully things are improving,
and you always have family here in this

1132
01:25:41.279 --> 01:25:46.640
chat. You know that. So
I love your brother EJ. Slimp.

1133
01:25:46.680 --> 01:25:49.880
Have you ever gone back and watched
Kurt Angles Olympic gold medal match? And

1134
01:25:49.960 --> 01:25:55.359
has your love of pro wrestling ever
made you interested in amateur wrestling? I

1135
01:25:55.479 --> 01:26:00.760
have seen Kurt's win in the Olympics
on YouTube a few times, and no,

1136
01:26:01.079 --> 01:26:05.359
my love of pro wrestling has not
made me interested in amateur wrestling at

1137
01:26:05.359 --> 01:26:11.960
all. I have respect for amateur
wrestling. I don't hate it. It's

1138
01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:16.199
just not something that interests me.
Anderson Blitz. If Sampunk returns, Uncle

1139
01:26:16.279 --> 01:26:27.720
Dave must apologize. It's Ballsy with
the thirty bucks. I like Orange Cassidy,

1140
01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:30.199
no reason to dislike the guy.
Plus, if he got a little

1141
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:34.039
more ripped and just a little more
serious, he'd be me. No,

1142
01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:39.239
he might be aw champion material.
Maybe he already is. Who knows,

1143
01:26:40.319 --> 01:26:45.279
Bullsy, Bully, that's gonna get
your heat. Bullsy, there are people

1144
01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:49.359
who hate the man's guts. That's
gonna get your heat. But Bullsy,

1145
01:26:51.159 --> 01:27:00.680
you're okay with me. Naughty delicious
chicken with flavor. I honestly don't hate

1146
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:03.600
Orange Cassidy at all. I just
don't over expose the guy, or just

1147
01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:10.119
don't overexpose the guy. Orange Cassidy
is already over Give him some vacation time.

1148
01:27:10.239 --> 01:27:18.960
Champions need breaks, of course,
ask Roman Reigns drew fifty dollars.

1149
01:27:18.960 --> 01:27:27.000
Super Chat talked about the amazing Jeff
Hardy. We read that one earlier.

1150
01:27:28.159 --> 01:27:32.640
Luis Boy Luis, who was at
WrestleMania this year, is I believe very

1151
01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:41.039
first WrestleMania. He was at Sofi
Stadium watching the television version of WrestleMania thirty

1152
01:27:41.119 --> 01:27:44.920
nine. It pisses me off that
brock Lesner against Omas was filled with what

1153
01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:53.800
else earthquake references? Stop reminding California's
population that we live in earthquake country hashtag

1154
01:27:53.960 --> 01:28:00.720
buyer Vince, there you go.
I'm sure ww he will take that to

1155
01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:05.680
heart. John Tenta would disagree that. I mean, we had a wrestler

1156
01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:14.439
name for right, so we had
an earthquake, we had typhoon ed swaggle,

1157
01:28:14.560 --> 01:28:17.840
we had hurricane ed Swaggle. I
can't. I can't go for that

1158
01:28:18.039 --> 01:28:29.000
against Kiss on my list. I
can't go for that easily the better of

1159
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:33.600
the two HBKC eighty three. I
hate seeing Brandon Cutler on my screen.

1160
01:28:33.640 --> 01:28:38.079
I get teased at worked because he
has my last name. He's not doing

1161
01:28:38.079 --> 01:28:45.079
the Cutler name any justice. It's
like the movie Office Space with Michael Bolton,

1162
01:28:46.840 --> 01:28:53.359
Uh Naughty's Delicious Chicken with flavor.
I doubled dog Derrek Tony con to

1163
01:28:53.359 --> 01:28:57.680
book Jade Cargill against Britt Baker versus
Soraya versus Rijo in a ladder match.

1164
01:28:57.720 --> 01:29:03.359
Does aw have the balls to do
it? I certainly hope not. I

1165
01:29:03.399 --> 01:29:08.800
don't know. That just seems like
a disaster waiting to happen. You start

1166
01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:13.479
getting ladders involved with people who aren't
used to being the ladder matches and not

1167
01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:19.279
gonna hand we Devin from NJ.
He is a friend. He is.

1168
01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:29.520
It's not like the movie Best Friends. Will Who was the other guy's name?

1169
01:29:29.760 --> 01:29:33.000
Oh god, John, Oh god? There was it? John?

1170
01:29:35.239 --> 01:29:41.600
John? Riley something? See Riley? What is that? Guys? Now?

1171
01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:45.159
Of course I consider him a friend
absolutely. Trill, Mexican three oh

1172
01:29:45.199 --> 01:29:50.840
five. My birthday is on April
nineteenth. I hope Powerhousehobs retains the TNT

1173
01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:56.119
championship from my thirty fifth birthday.
I love the review tonight, Slo Monster.

1174
01:29:56.479 --> 01:30:00.720
Thanks well, Trill. Happy early
birthday coming up on April nineteen.

1175
01:30:00.760 --> 01:30:04.039
He did not tell me, Oh
you did tell me how much? It

1176
01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:06.119
was like you didn't tell me how
old you are? It says right there

1177
01:30:06.119 --> 01:30:10.600
it's thirty fifth birth day. Well, I hope you have a very enjoyable

1178
01:30:10.600 --> 01:30:14.479
thirty fifth frithday. As long as
it does not fall on a Monday during

1179
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:18.279
raw, then I'm sure it will
be a happy day. John c Riley,

1180
01:30:18.359 --> 01:30:21.720
thank you. So I was right. It was John Ryan, John

1181
01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:29.039
c Ryan. I knew it was
Will Smith, I just couldn't remember the

1182
01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:31.680
other guy. I knew it was
c Riley, I just couldn't remember the

1183
01:30:31.720 --> 01:30:38.600
first name. And then it hit
me, Groovy Goose. Besides MJF because

1184
01:30:38.600 --> 01:30:42.199
he is the champion, in what
order would you put the aw title on

1185
01:30:42.239 --> 01:30:45.840
the other three pillars of a e
W in your opinion if you had it

1186
01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:55.359
your way like Burger King huh um. I mean to me, Darby is

1187
01:30:56.399 --> 01:31:02.000
the guy who would get the belt
first after m jan and then it would

1188
01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:06.039
be Jungle Boy, and then it
would be Sammy. I just think,

1189
01:31:06.159 --> 01:31:12.359
you know, with a little more
seasoning, Jungle Boy could be very over

1190
01:31:13.359 --> 01:31:15.720
and getting a short run with the
world title. It wouldn't be a long

1191
01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:20.520
run, but I think could it
work putting the championship on him and you

1192
01:31:20.560 --> 01:31:25.840
know, telling that story with him
winning the winning the Big One and working

1193
01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:29.000
his way up the ladder to get
there. Would he be over and would

1194
01:31:29.039 --> 01:31:31.520
the fans be willing to accept him
in that role? Yeah, I do.

1195
01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:36.520
I think so so I would go
Darby and then Jungle Boy and then

1196
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:45.159
Sammy in that order. After m
jan we got Brandon Fujiwara with ten dollars

1197
01:31:45.439 --> 01:31:51.039
super Chat, Miss SmackDown for the
birth of my son, Miss Raw because

1198
01:31:51.159 --> 01:31:56.079
he was still getting care. Your
streams were a nice escape from my worries

1199
01:31:56.119 --> 01:32:00.399
on behalf of myself and my son. Nikki the Dragon, thank you.

1200
01:32:00.239 --> 01:32:04.800
I like that name. That's a
great name. Well, congratulations Brandon.

1201
01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:09.279
I'm very happy for you. I'm
glad that everything seems to be okay,

1202
01:32:10.319 --> 01:32:14.000
and I'm glad the show could be
an escape for you. Nicki the Dragon.

1203
01:32:14.079 --> 01:32:18.680
I like Bender mc simpson. I
like that too, great opening and

1204
01:32:18.800 --> 01:32:25.239
closing matches with a great international title
match. Aw does not need punk It'll

1205
01:32:25.319 --> 01:32:33.479
cause more headaches than he is worth. Link lex International Title is better than

1206
01:32:33.520 --> 01:32:39.720
the tntita right now. Yes it
is Devin from NJ. I know you've

1207
01:32:39.720 --> 01:32:42.720
said the Shield couldn't be made today, but do you feel the same way

1208
01:32:42.760 --> 01:32:46.760
about the Sopranos. No, the
Soprano See part of it is that the

1209
01:32:46.800 --> 01:32:53.359
Shield was on basic cable. The
Sopranos was on pay cable Premium. So

1210
01:32:53.560 --> 01:32:59.560
the sopranos could be made today.
I mean there wouldn't be any I mean

1211
01:32:59.560 --> 01:33:02.960
there's always going to be issues and
people who you know, bitch about something,

1212
01:33:03.079 --> 01:33:05.640
But no, I don't feel the
same way about them. And that's

1213
01:33:05.680 --> 01:33:09.319
part of it. Because one was
on Basic Cable and the other was on

1214
01:33:09.479 --> 01:33:14.760
HP Groovy Goose Punk was wearing Dan
Housen's boots for the all out match and

1215
01:33:14.840 --> 01:33:20.880
subsequent Brawl Out conference. The whole
situation was literally curse. I know.

1216
01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:29.079
Dan Housen said that Punk is maybe
the only person who checks in on him

1217
01:33:29.079 --> 01:33:34.640
on a daily basis as he is
recovering from his torn heck. I think

1218
01:33:34.640 --> 01:33:39.079
it is a torn peck that Dan
Housen house that he suffered a revolution.

1219
01:33:42.239 --> 01:33:45.520
Joseph Brooks, do you think that, as great as it's been that WWE's

1220
01:33:45.560 --> 01:33:48.760
mid card titles are now getting prestige
once again, do you think that they

1221
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:56.520
still don't really treat the US titles
prestige as well as the intercontinent For a

1222
01:33:56.600 --> 01:33:59.600
long time, I would have argued
just the opposite, And to be honest

1223
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:06.520
with you, I understand that the
US title has more history going back years

1224
01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:14.840
and years and years in decades.
I'm I'm very happy that it would always

1225
01:34:15.239 --> 01:34:19.159
bother me that they did that and
that the Intercontinental did not get the attention

1226
01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:24.520
I think in the respect that it
deserved because that's their title, and you

1227
01:34:24.560 --> 01:34:28.439
would think that they would want to
highlight that title over the US title,

1228
01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:30.520
And for a long time there it
felt just the opposite, like the US

1229
01:34:30.600 --> 01:34:34.880
title was the main secondary belt getting
all the focus. So I'm kind of

1230
01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:40.239
happy that the Intercontinental Championship, this
run that Gunther has been on, has

1231
01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:45.560
been getting the kind of you know, accolades that it deserves. Is it

1232
01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:49.720
more important to feel more important right
now than the US title does? Yes?

1233
01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:55.039
It does, and Gunther has a
lot to do with that. He's

1234
01:34:55.079 --> 01:35:00.279
been on a great run. If
you just plug anybody in that spot,

1235
01:35:00.520 --> 01:35:02.800
it might not work as well.
But with him, he's a big part

1236
01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:11.239
of why that championship feels so special. Right Yeah, bliss Fan, I'm

1237
01:35:11.319 --> 01:35:14.840
counting the I'm counting the w CW
one with the US one, So again,

1238
01:35:14.840 --> 01:35:19.239
it's got a history that goes back
a long long time. I'm pretty

1239
01:35:19.239 --> 01:35:25.399
sure longer than the Intercontinental, but
I do count that up. I lump

1240
01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:30.840
to kind of title lineages together.
I know that Everybody does Oz and Glorious,

1241
01:35:31.399 --> 01:35:36.039
never Key, another Man's car,
Solom Monster and Vincent Big Right,

1242
01:35:38.319 --> 01:35:45.279
never Key, another Man's words to
live by Daddy Ball enjoyed the stream.

1243
01:35:45.279 --> 01:35:49.039
Good night, sal Oh the Monster, Yes, as I am build in

1244
01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:55.279
two K twenty three. Because again
it is stupid how in the game you

1245
01:35:55.319 --> 01:36:00.720
cannot select the word just monster.
It has to be the monster. So

1246
01:36:00.760 --> 01:36:06.359
I am sal Oh the Monster.
So stupid trill Mexican three oh five.

1247
01:36:06.439 --> 01:36:10.640
I am the former GCC three oh
five. By the way, thank god,

1248
01:36:10.680 --> 01:36:13.760
My thirty fifth birthday lands on a
Wednesday this year. Now I'll be

1249
01:36:13.800 --> 01:36:16.159
at work, but for sure I'll
be listening to next week's live stream to

1250
01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:20.239
pass the time. When you better, you better, I'll be your birthday

1251
01:36:20.279 --> 01:36:26.640
gift to yourself. A J.
Lupo. Always enjoying the streams. I

1252
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:30.119
look forward to Hog on Friday,
as well as the return of Muffin Man

1253
01:36:30.199 --> 01:36:40.680
Punk at ball Inn. Let the
chaos begin right. House of Glory is

1254
01:36:40.960 --> 01:36:45.920
coming up on Friday night, and
very likely there will be no SmackDown stream

1255
01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:48.840
on Friday. I'm not one hundred
percent sure right now, because it does

1256
01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:54.000
not appear we are streaming this one
on Fight which I don't quite understand,

1257
01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:58.039
but I'll make those decisions. So
I'm not sure what's going on. Most

1258
01:36:58.079 --> 01:37:00.319
likely, though, I will be
there and not here, So if there

1259
01:37:00.399 --> 01:37:06.359
is no stream and you know why, Naughty Delicious Chicken with flavor. I

1260
01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:11.960
found a tag team name for Vince
McMahon and Kevin Dunn Brains and Damages.

1261
01:37:15.359 --> 01:37:23.399
I could think of worst names for
Kevin Dunn. Controversially, Anonymous in the

1262
01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:27.119
chat says, put the strap on
Punk. Why do you want punk to

1263
01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:32.520
worst strap? It's kind of fun? Says it right there in all caps,

1264
01:37:32.520 --> 01:37:35.600
though, put the strap on Punk. Apparently he wants he wants the

1265
01:37:35.640 --> 01:37:41.960
strap on on on Punk. It's
bullsy. Hey, if people mad over

1266
01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:45.039
Orange, Cassidy hope about this.
Cassidy should hold the AW title for a

1267
01:37:45.079 --> 01:37:53.680
long time and be a dominant champion. Want o Campo with the four ninety

1268
01:37:53.720 --> 01:37:59.800
nine. My former roommate and friend
just crashed into another car on Tuesday.

1269
01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:05.720
His blood alcohol content was a measily
o point two seven four three times the

1270
01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:13.439
legal limit. Now has a slew
of charges in a five hundred thousand dollars

1271
01:38:13.520 --> 01:38:18.439
bond set. Guy he hit has
a broken back and is in critical condition.

1272
01:38:18.520 --> 01:38:23.600
I have said and angry, do
not drink and drive for fuck sake,

1273
01:38:25.199 --> 01:38:32.920
Yes, please, please don't do
it. You're not drinking drive Arabian

1274
01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:36.560
Night two thousand. Who in a
w do you think would do better in

1275
01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:44.000
WWW? Wardlow? I think Wardlow
would do. I think Wardlow would do

1276
01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:49.159
better in WWW. I do because
he's also very well spoken. He can

1277
01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:55.000
cut a promo, he can talk, and that's important in w W and

1278
01:38:55.159 --> 01:38:57.760
in the ring too. I mean, he does some very impressive things for

1279
01:38:57.800 --> 01:39:01.119
a guy who's on the bigger side. He's not a giant, but I

1280
01:39:01.159 --> 01:39:04.840
do think in WWE he would be
exposed a little bit in terms of his

1281
01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:09.079
size because he would be in the
ring with some of these guys. I

1282
01:39:09.079 --> 01:39:12.760
mean, you put him in the
ring with the Drew McIntyre and you know

1283
01:39:13.119 --> 01:39:16.079
there, I'm guessing McIntyre would arph
him a little bit. I don't know

1284
01:39:16.239 --> 01:39:20.159
offhand how tall Wardlow is, but
I do think he stands out more because

1285
01:39:20.199 --> 01:39:24.560
there aren't as many bigger guys.
I mean, they have big guys,

1286
01:39:24.560 --> 01:39:27.720
but there aren't as many of them. I don't think on the AW roster,

1287
01:39:28.880 --> 01:39:30.159
but I do think he would do
better in WWA. I do.

1288
01:39:31.279 --> 01:39:35.520
I have not been impressed by what
they've done with him since may have last

1289
01:39:35.600 --> 01:39:42.119
year. As far as who else
I think would do better in WWA,

1290
01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:44.760
I mean, I think I think
a lot of it boils down to,

1291
01:39:47.319 --> 01:39:51.279
you know, not even a case
where in some cases it's not a case

1292
01:39:51.279 --> 01:39:56.640
where Tony count is necessarily even booking
them badly. It's just that he may

1293
01:39:56.680 --> 01:39:59.960
not be booking certain people enough.
He may not be giving them enough face

1294
01:40:00.199 --> 01:40:02.560
time. So if they get more
time in WWE, I think a guy

1295
01:40:02.600 --> 01:40:06.800
like a Ricky Starks would do very
well. I'm hoping Jay White does not

1296
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:11.239
fall into that trap. I thought
he would do well in WWE. That's

1297
01:40:11.239 --> 01:40:15.159
why I wanted to see him go
there until recent developments and then I realized,

1298
01:40:15.199 --> 01:40:17.760
well, now it's probably not a
good time for him to go to

1299
01:40:17.840 --> 01:40:23.119
WWW. But I think he would
have done well there under triple age without

1300
01:40:23.159 --> 01:40:30.960
any sort of meddling, I think
he would have done well. Yeah,

1301
01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:35.600
I mean, it's hard to say
because I just don't know what is going

1302
01:40:35.680 --> 01:40:42.239
to be in terms of WWE creative
and how much influence Vince is going to

1303
01:40:42.319 --> 01:40:46.840
exert creatively in these next several months. It really is a crapshoot right now.

1304
01:40:47.880 --> 01:40:50.479
And it's hard for me to sit
here and say so and so would

1305
01:40:50.479 --> 01:41:00.399
do better there when you know you
have him sniffing around and is a big

1306
01:41:00.479 --> 01:41:04.239
question mark when it comes to the
future of creative in that company. There's

1307
01:41:04.279 --> 01:41:11.279
a lot of uncertainty there. People
don't like uncertainty. People want stability,

1308
01:41:12.479 --> 01:41:15.359
obviously. There are some people who
feel like they'll get that in aw and

1309
01:41:15.439 --> 01:41:24.880
not Wwe love lie with the ninety
nine. Do you ever read fantasy booking?

1310
01:41:24.880 --> 01:41:27.760
And I've pitched an idea for the
end of damage control in the comments

1311
01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:30.319
of your most recent gamer video If
you ever have time, I would love

1312
01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:33.600
it if you give me your thoughts. I see some of them. Some

1313
01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:38.680
of them I don't, just because
I mean, there are people who write

1314
01:41:38.680 --> 01:41:41.640
out these long things and I might
read it, but I just don't have

1315
01:41:41.720 --> 01:41:45.399
time to respond to them all.
But some of the yeah, I do

1316
01:41:45.439 --> 01:41:50.720
see some of them. So I
will I will do my best, all

1317
01:41:50.760 --> 01:41:55.319
right, so William in the chat
says Wardlow's height is listed a six foot

1318
01:41:55.359 --> 01:42:00.840
two. Hobbs is six foot one. McIntyre is listed at six five.

1319
01:42:01.840 --> 01:42:08.520
McIntyre is a big dude. McIntyre
is a big guy. So again,

1320
01:42:08.560 --> 01:42:12.439
I do feel like there are certain
people who would come over and their their

1321
01:42:12.600 --> 01:42:16.079
size might be exposed because we're just
not used to seeing them in the ring

1322
01:42:16.199 --> 01:42:24.359
with other big guys. You have
Big Bill and Keith Lee's obviously a big

1323
01:42:24.399 --> 01:42:30.840
He's not terribly tall, but he's
just this massive, you know guy when

1324
01:42:30.840 --> 01:42:34.920
you see him. But I again, Wardlow, I think would actually do

1325
01:42:35.079 --> 01:42:44.479
very well in ww thunder four says
if cmpunk comes back to aw and gets

1326
01:42:44.479 --> 01:42:47.560
booed, does that make the fans
hypocrites considering they cheered for Jeff Hardy after

1327
01:42:47.600 --> 01:42:57.199
what he did? Fans being hypocrites? Yeah? No, the hell you

1328
01:42:57.279 --> 01:43:04.079
say? Con heard you say you
no longer eat pizza? Why I can't

1329
01:43:04.640 --> 01:43:12.239
makes me sick? He still love
pizza. I had to stop simple as

1330
01:43:12.319 --> 01:43:21.920
that want O compo, Thank you
and chat for listening much love well Wan,

1331
01:43:23.039 --> 01:43:34.079
thank you thank you for sharing sharing
is carry. Does Satinam sing wrestle

1332
01:43:36.920 --> 01:43:42.199
not very often, and there's probably
a good reason for that because he's still

1333
01:43:42.279 --> 01:43:47.279
very green, he's still learning,
so they have him doing very limited stuff.

1334
01:43:47.279 --> 01:43:53.920
He doesn't really take bumps. There's
a reason why we don't see Satinham

1335
01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:59.520
Sang in the ring. So the
gold tonight for be the Booker was five

1336
01:43:59.600 --> 01:44:04.520
hundred likes, and you guys have
us on the precipice like that word,

1337
01:44:04.600 --> 01:44:11.840
right, the precipice of six hundred
likes. So thank you very much for

1338
01:44:11.880 --> 01:44:15.880
that. And with that being said, let us not waste any more time.

1339
01:44:15.960 --> 01:44:19.760
Let us go ahead and be the
booker. Ladies and gentlemen, it

1340
01:44:19.840 --> 01:44:26.159
is now time to be the booker. It is time to be the booker

1341
01:44:26.399 --> 01:44:33.199
here on another Wednesday night or the
Dynamite stream. And I will tell you

1342
01:44:33.239 --> 01:44:39.720
I just checked. We are actually
two subscribers away from seventy three thousand,

1343
01:44:39.800 --> 01:44:45.680
so that is very cool. Seventy
three thousand is within reach. See if

1344
01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:49.119
we can get there before the night
is over. But let's kick things off

1345
01:44:49.159 --> 01:44:54.399
here with the men's be the booker
as we usually do. We book a

1346
01:44:54.479 --> 01:45:00.520
men's match, we fantasy book a
women's match and a tag team match totally

1347
01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:03.840
at random, just for ships and
giggles, just to see what kind of

1348
01:45:03.880 --> 01:45:08.960
card we can come up with.
Let me see those be the booker emojis,

1349
01:45:08.960 --> 01:45:12.000
So all of our channel members we've
got those B two B emojis.

1350
01:45:12.000 --> 01:45:16.199
I want to see them in the
chat. We begin with Jake the Snake

1351
01:45:16.880 --> 01:45:21.119
Roberts. I guess it could be
either one of them. We got Jake

1352
01:45:21.159 --> 01:45:25.039
and Macho Man here, but really
this one is for Jake. This is

1353
01:45:25.079 --> 01:45:28.720
one of my all time favorite angles. This is one of those angles where

1354
01:45:28.720 --> 01:45:32.000
you're watching as a young wrestling fan
and it just sticks with you. This

1355
01:45:32.079 --> 01:45:38.760
is not something that you forget to
this very day. I remember watching this

1356
01:45:38.840 --> 01:45:43.720
like it was yesterday. Jake the
Snake, heal Jake the Snake in late

1357
01:45:43.800 --> 01:45:45.800
ninety one. Men, I mean, it is just it doesn't get any

1358
01:45:45.840 --> 01:45:51.399
better than that. It really does
not get any better than that. Jake

1359
01:45:51.399 --> 01:45:59.359
the Snake. And to go one
on one with Samoa Joe. Oh yeah,

1360
01:45:59.439 --> 01:46:00.920
Jake the Snake and Samoa Joe.
How about that match? Huh?

1361
01:46:01.399 --> 01:46:06.039
Both guys at their physical prime,
Jake as a heel and Joe. I

1362
01:46:06.079 --> 01:46:09.960
mean, Joe's a fucking great heel. But let's say Joe is a badass

1363
01:46:10.000 --> 01:46:15.319
baby face. How about that against
heel Jake the Snake. I love that.

1364
01:46:15.359 --> 01:46:20.520
Man. That's a great match.
All right, Let's try it on

1365
01:46:20.560 --> 01:46:27.680
the women's side. We go from
Jake and Samoa Joe. That would be

1366
01:46:27.680 --> 01:46:30.800
a battle, that's right. Winston
says that would be a battle, a

1367
01:46:30.840 --> 01:46:41.359
promo battle. Of course, the
promos alone would be fantastic. We begin

1368
01:46:41.479 --> 01:46:45.880
with Surrey. Oh, look at
this. This is when they tried to

1369
01:46:45.920 --> 01:46:50.199
turn Surrey into I don't know if
she's supposed to be Sailor Moon or Punky

1370
01:46:50.239 --> 01:47:01.680
Brewster Surrey. I can't imagine why
this gimmick didn't work. Say one on

1371
01:47:01.680 --> 01:47:14.319
one with Indie Heartwell. Indie Heartwell
be reigning NXT Women's Champion against Surrey.

1372
01:47:15.600 --> 01:47:20.640
Do I watch Bluey? No?
I don't watch Blue. I'm sure if

1373
01:47:20.680 --> 01:47:24.720
I had a child, I'd be
watching Blue all day long. I do

1374
01:47:24.800 --> 01:47:30.760
not watch Blue. Did you not
watch Bluey? I do not watch Blues

1375
01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:41.199
Clues? Do not watch SpongeBob anymore. We begin with the Heart Foundation Brett

1376
01:47:41.199 --> 01:47:43.600
the hit Man, heart In,
Jim the Anvil night Heart, former w

1377
01:47:43.800 --> 01:47:53.319
w F tag team champions. My
Well Demolition would be my favorite, but

1378
01:47:53.319 --> 01:47:59.119
the Heart Foundation would be my second
favorite tag team of all time. The

1379
01:47:59.239 --> 01:48:04.720
Heart Foundation gonna be taking on who's
it gonna be, Who's it gonna be,

1380
01:48:05.880 --> 01:48:10.000
Who's it gonna be. Let's get
a drum roll, Let's get a

1381
01:48:10.039 --> 01:48:19.039
drum roll. It's gonna be The
Heart Foundation against all these fucking guys.

1382
01:48:23.520 --> 01:48:28.960
These guys again, I always forget
their team name. What the hell were

1383
01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:36.880
they called? Delo, Brown and
Chatz. I just don't remember their team

1384
01:48:36.960 --> 01:48:45.640
name. I don't remember their run
the Heart Foundation. You know it kills

1385
01:48:45.640 --> 01:48:47.640
me to give a Heart Foundation match
the buzzer, but I mean I have

1386
01:48:47.680 --> 01:48:56.560
no choice. Look at these fucking
guys. Load is Is that what their

1387
01:48:56.640 --> 01:49:00.039
name was? Lowdown? Yeah,
they were down. They were pretty low

1388
01:49:00.119 --> 01:49:06.359
down the card. That's actually a
very appropriate name for them. They were

1389
01:49:06.399 --> 01:49:12.680
all the way down. They were
way down the card. All right.

1390
01:49:12.680 --> 01:49:15.479
We got a few more super chats
here. Some questions from you guys.

1391
01:49:16.399 --> 01:49:21.840
We have yat Arabian Night two thousand. I hope WWE's next big signings or

1392
01:49:21.880 --> 01:49:27.199
not anyone from AEW and I hope
it's Jacob Fought two or Moose. They're

1393
01:49:27.239 --> 01:49:30.399
both the real deal and big men
who can work. Do you agree?

1394
01:49:30.199 --> 01:49:34.840
Absolutely, Jacob Fought Two. I
will be seeing him in action in the

1395
01:49:34.840 --> 01:49:39.720
main event this Friday at House of
Glory, defending the HG World Heavyweight Championship

1396
01:49:39.760 --> 01:49:44.239
against another big man who can go, Willie Mack. We got our main

1397
01:49:44.279 --> 01:49:46.039
event on Friday, Jacob Fought two
and Willie Mack. How about that?

1398
01:49:46.800 --> 01:49:54.319
How about that? We got Charles
Mason defending his Crown Jewel Championship against the

1399
01:49:54.319 --> 01:50:01.640
bad son Leo Rush Delicious Naughty,
delicious chicken with flavor. You're partying with

1400
01:50:01.680 --> 01:50:06.479
the Street Prophet's braun Stroman Ricochet,
Sammy saying Kevin Owens and damage Control.

1401
01:50:08.479 --> 01:50:17.279
Who would be the designated driver?
Probably Kevin Owens. I can't picture Kevin

1402
01:50:17.359 --> 01:50:20.359
Owens being a big drinker. I'm
guessing he doesn't drink at all. Probably

1403
01:50:20.399 --> 01:50:25.680
him and Sammy, they probably don't
drink. Samuel just talk you to death

1404
01:50:26.159 --> 01:50:29.600
all night. Kevin Owens will probably
just show you panda photos on his phone,

1405
01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:34.359
So I would say Ko will be
the designated driver. Have I seen

1406
01:50:34.399 --> 01:50:41.960
Tropic Thunder? Yes? I have
be money Oh four just left. The

1407
01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:46.680
aw tapings started at six pm Central
with Ring of Honor and then Dynamite Rampage

1408
01:50:46.680 --> 01:50:49.800
and ended with more Ring of Honor. Did not expect to get five and

1409
01:50:49.840 --> 01:50:54.279
a half hours of wrestling on a
Wednesday, but I enjoyed it overall.

1410
01:50:57.359 --> 01:51:01.199
That is a lot of wrestling.
There will probably not be a live stream

1411
01:51:01.239 --> 01:51:04.840
on Friday because of hog if that
changes, and I'll be here for some

1412
01:51:04.880 --> 01:51:08.359
reason, or I think I can
make the stream. I will keep you

1413
01:51:08.359 --> 01:51:12.079
guys posted on Twitter, or I'll
post something on YouTube onto the community tab.

1414
01:51:12.119 --> 01:51:15.359
I could put messages in there,
but just assume there will be no

1415
01:51:15.439 --> 01:51:19.199
stream on Friday night. Back to
normal next Monday for the Monday Night RAS

1416
01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:23.800
stream, and of course this weekend
we have episode eight O four of the

1417
01:51:23.840 --> 01:51:28.079
podcast coming up. I be well, stay safe and I will see you

1418
01:51:28.079 --> 01:51:31.800
guys back youre live very soon.
