00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.160
What is up, guys? I
am solom Monser and this is your AEW

2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:09.240
Dynamite homecoming review. They were back
home in Daly's Place in Jacksonville. It

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:16.879
is Wednesday, January tenth, two
thousand and twenty four. AW has this

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.399
nostalgic feeling about Daly's Place every time
they go back there. Obviously, Daily's

5
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.960
Place was important to them because that
was their home for the entirety of the

6
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.480
pandemic. And Daily's Place is a
very nice venue. I don't necessarily share

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:36.399
the same kind of I don't know, sentimental feeling that they have for it.

8
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:39.759
I mean it's a nice venue and
everything, but they go nuts with

9
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.159
all the you know, it's great
to be back here in Daly's Place.

10
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:48.479
It's like this almost religious monument to
AW here. But it was nice.

11
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:53.240
You know. We had a hot
crowd tonight and we had what basically was,

12
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.000
in many ways, kind of another
tribute show to Brody Lee. Is

13
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.600
kind of what this show was.
It was part a tribute show to him,

14
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:07.359
because when Brody Lee debuted an AW
back in twenty twenty, unfortunately he

15
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.040
debuted in front of no fans,
which really sucked because he was going to

16
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.040
make his debut in his hometown.
He didn't have the chance to do that,

17
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.680
and he only wrestled in front of
either no fans or very limited people

18
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.599
at Daly's plays before he passed away. He never had the chance to wrestle

19
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:30.959
in front of an actual aw crowd, and so tonight they aired highlights of

20
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.040
his brief career in the company.
I don't know how many of you are

21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.680
ware the fact that I believe his
son, Brody Lee Junior, Negative One,

22
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:44.439
he had the chance to make some
matches on this show. In fact,

23
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.680
the two eight person tags that we
had on tonight's show, I believe

24
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.000
were put together by Negative One.
So you'll have people who look at this

25
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:53.640
and go, well, how come
we had a couple of just random ass

26
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.760
tag team matches? It was because
Negative One played matchmaker for the night.

27
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.519
He put at least those two men
together. I don't know if you put

28
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.480
more together or not. But in
the main event tonight, we had sting

29
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.960
In Darby Allen taking on Kenoski,
Takeshna, and Powerhouse Hobbs. This was

30
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.039
a false count. Anywhere Tornado tag
team match, anything goes on the show.

31
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.439
Last week we saw Takesha pick up
a win over Darby Allen. The

32
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.439
two of them had a hell of
a match, but with Takesha beating Darby,

33
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.080
it seemed pretty clear where we were
going in this match. That coupled

34
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.400
with the fact that Sting is undefeated
in his aw career, you had to

35
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.639
know coming into tonight that Sting was
not going to lose this match. This

36
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.080
was not going to be a loss
for Sting in Darby, this close to

37
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.159
his final match of Revolution, and
it wasn't. Sting actually picked up the

38
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:49.159
win for his team. He almost
killed himself in the process doing it because

39
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.280
they did a big spot at the
end of the match where they were on

40
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:58.639
basically almost basically a platform they were
on like a ledge, and then two

41
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.479
tables set up down below. The
spot was a scorpion death drop through both

42
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.719
tables. They only went through one
table. They missed the first one,

43
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.039
they went through the second one.
Sting won the match. He was down

44
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.159
for a while. It was a
little scary there for a bit. The

45
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.560
doctor checked up on him. Even
Darby looked concerned. He was talking to

46
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.759
Sting. No, I mean,
I could go on about these Sting spots

47
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.280
that we've seen him do, These
ridiculous risks that he takes when he came

48
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.039
off the ladder and he basically busted
his whole mouth up. You know what,

49
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.840
we're close to the end. We're
getting close to the end. There's

50
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.800
no talking him out of doing spots
like this. All we gotta do is

51
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.639
just get to Revolution. He'll have
that final match. God only knows what

52
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.840
he's going to do there. I'm
already sweating bullets about what this guy's got

53
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:46.879
in his head for what he's going
to do in that match. But then

54
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.960
it'll be over, hopefully not for
good. But when the match was over

55
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.360
and Sting got his wits back about
him and he got in the ring,

56
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.000
and Tony Shavani asked him point blank, we're going to be in Greensboro for

57
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.039
your final match. And they've sold
the over fifteen thousand tickets for that show

58
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.960
that is all on the back of
Sting's retirement. They are not moving fifteen

59
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:14.800
thousand tickets this far in advance in
Greensboro for anything other than Sting's retirement match.

60
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.120
So they're going to have a packed
house in that venue that night.

61
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.639
And he asked him, who do
you have in mind for your final opponent?

62
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.439
Before Sting could say anything before he
can answer the question. The Young

63
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.480
Bucks we have not seen, I
believe since full gear. The Young Bucks

64
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.439
made their way out and they had
a bit of a new look. They

65
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:40.879
shaved, they were wearing the Vince
McMahon creepy mustache. One dressed in black,

66
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.680
one dressed in white. Nobody said
a word. All they did was

67
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.480
stare at each other until they went
off the air. And so the implication

68
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.560
is that the Young Bucks are going
to be Sting's final opponents. It's going

69
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:56.920
to be Stinging Darby against the Young
Bucks at Revolution, and I'm sure already

70
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.519
there's going to be, you know, a ton of hate for that.

71
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.319
You why the Young Bucks? Why
are they slotting themselves in there. I'm

72
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.959
not enthusiastic about that being the match. If that is going to be it,

73
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.160
I know a lot of people would
prefer it the Sting in Darby one

74
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.879
on one, because that's a match
that we haven't seen. It would make

75
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.399
sense, it could be a passing
of the torch moment. But here's the

76
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.480
thing about that. Darby is on
record as saying he does not want that

77
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.639
match. He does not want to
wrestle Sting one on one. Sting has

78
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.040
also not had a singles match at
all in the entire time that he has

79
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.879
been in AW is a reason for
that. Either he doesn't feel confident that

80
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:41.120
he could carry himself in a singles
match, and or the company is trying

81
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.199
to protect him because Sting himself,
let's be honest, probably doesn't think he

82
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.399
could carry himself in a singles match. He knows his limitations. At this

83
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.560
point, Darby is the one who
can go out there and he could kill

84
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.560
himself and he can do all the
crazy shit, and Sting could be there

85
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.079
to kind of pick up the slack
do a big crazy spot. It's worked,

86
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.199
right, It's been a good working
relationship. The two of them compliment

87
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.720
each other in that way, and
it's worked so far. So we're not

88
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.439
going to get Sting and Darby,
and not necessarily because Tony Khan doesn't want

89
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.480
it, but because it's probably just
not meant to be. So forget about

90
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.000
Sting and Darby probably not gonna happen. What I thought would be a great

91
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.040
idea, and I still feel it
would be a great idea because Sting's retirement

92
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.079
should be a big deal and he
has been very protected up until this point.

93
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.720
I think the story, and that's
really what it boils down to here.

94
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.439
It's always a lot made of aw
where's the story, Where's the story?

95
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:42.079
It just matches without story. There's
a story here where Sting is trying

96
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:46.800
to win one last championship before he
calls it quits. And maybe it's not

97
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.319
even Sting who wants to do it. Maybe it's Darby Allen who wants to

98
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:55.720
do it for Sting and says,
you deserve one more title before you hang

99
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.800
it up for good, and I
want to be there by your side to

100
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.560
help you do it. And it
becomes Sting and Darby trying to get the

101
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.319
tag team titles. This is their
last chance this entire run. It's kind

102
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.680
of shocking, to be honest with
you, that they haven't challenged for the

103
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:14.519
belts already. But the story is
there for Sting and Darby to go after

104
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.399
the tag team titles, and in
Sting's final match, the two of them

105
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.240
finally do it. They win the
titles, they get this big happy moment

106
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:27.000
at the end of Revolution and Sting
gets to retire as a champion, and

107
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.680
it would be a happy moment for
everybody in Greensboro, be a happy moment

108
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.040
for everybody who's a Sting fan.
Now. Right now, Ricky Starks and

109
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.120
Big Bill are the tag team champions. Chris Jericho and Sammy Gevara are wrestling

110
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.560
for the titles next weekend, well, this upcoming weekend, this Saturday,

111
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.879
Battle of the Belts, right,
I think this is the ninth Battle of

112
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.759
the Belts they're doing. How many
title changes have we actually had at these

113
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.319
Battle of the Belt specials. They've
done eight of them so far. Maybe

114
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.240
we've had one title change. It
feels like a good time to do a

115
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.000
title change, although I'm not sure
if Jared I was the right person for

116
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.480
that. But here's the thing,
here's what would make me care about seeing

117
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.000
the Young Bucks against Sting and Darby. If those Belts were to make their

118
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.959
way around the Young Bucks waist in
some way between now and then. It

119
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.360
doesn't feel like there's enough time for
that, especially because the champions right now

120
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.800
are heels and so are the Young
Bucks. But if those Belts were to

121
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.399
find their way around the Young Bucks
waist, and you did the Young Bucks

122
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.160
defending the tag team titles against Sting
and Darby at Revolution, and we got

123
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:35.279
to see Sting beat the fuck out
of Matt and Nick Jackson and take the

124
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.279
tag team titles from them. That's
a story that I could get behind that

125
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.159
would make me interested in seeing the
Young Bucks in the ring with Sting and

126
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.759
Darby. To just do the Young
Bucks against Sting and Darby without anything really

127
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.399
at stake, it doesn't do anything
for me. And I'm sure the Bucks

128
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.080
will be in there, and I'm
sure they'll be great as far as bumping

129
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.799
around for Sting. Not that they're
bad opponents in the ring. They're going

130
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.320
to be careless with him or anything
like that. They're gonna gie him a

131
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.039
meltzer driver in the middle of the
ring. They might do that to Darby.

132
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.879
They're not going to do that the
Sting. That would get me interested,

133
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.279
But as things stand right now,
when I saw the Young Bucks come

134
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.279
out and I realize where they apparently
are going with this, my reaction was

135
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.200
indifference, which is kind of how
I feel about the Young Bucks right now.

136
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.120
Indifferent. But that would get me
interested in seeing that match, and

137
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.919
I hope that that's the direction they
go in, or maybe this is just

138
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.080
a swerve, but I don't think
they send the Bucks out there unless that's

139
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.399
the direction we're headed in. For
Revolution, so we'll have to see if

140
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.559
if in fact that ends up happening. Samoa Joe is also on the show

141
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.279
tonight, the new aw World Champion. His first live promo the King was

142
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.159
here to take his throne, and
coming out of the show tonight, he

143
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.679
already has three challengers for if you
cont Ward Low, since the Undisputed Kingdom

144
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.720
have already made a clear Wardlow is
going to be going after the world heavyweight

145
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.320
title. But Joe comes out of
the show and I very much like MJF.

146
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.679
MJF had a target on his back
at any given moment, it felt

147
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.960
like he had three or four different
people gun and for him. Samoa Joe,

148
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.159
after one night on the show,
already has at least three people gunning

149
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.600
for him, and he's wrestling next
week. He's defending the championship against Hook.

150
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.039
We'll talk about that Samoa Joe's segment. We'll talk about Chris Jericho coming

151
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.840
out to make the safe for his
partner and having his music play to drown

152
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.639
out the crowd. You're not fooling
me with that shit. I know exactly

153
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.399
why they did what they did,
but on the whole, you know,

154
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.039
as far as Tonight's show. This
was not This was not a home run

155
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.480
show. Again, I'm willing to
give the eight man tags a pass because

156
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.159
they were booked by a twelve year
old. I didn't think this was one

157
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.000
of the stronger episodes of Dynamite,
but again, part of the episode.

158
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.519
I have to give it a pass
just because of the circumstances. Anyway,

159
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.279
this is your Dynamite review. We're
going to get into everything here. Please

160
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.759
do like and subscribe and think I
was gonna let this pass? Did you

161
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.960
that? Right there? Well?
Behind uh, behind Elias and Kevin Owens.

162
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.159
They'll disappear in a second, But
that is Brandon del Gato and you

163
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.159
may know him better in the chat
is reconcerned. Brandon was in attendance to

164
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.840
Daily's place tonight. And how's that
for product placement? Right there representing the

165
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:28.159
sound of holding up that solemn monster
sign solo monster Babe, Brandon, Thank

166
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.080
you brother. I hope you had
fun tonight and I appreciate the shout,

167
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.120
very very kind to you representing the
podcast right there. I mean, look,

168
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.240
you could I mean you couldn't have
asked for a better shot. It

169
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.799
doesn't get any more up close than
that right there. So Brandon, thank

170
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.360
you very much. Man Now dynamite
tonight. It opened with a hot match

171
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.360
here with Hangman Adam Page going one
on one with Claudio Castignoli. The fans.

172
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.399
By the way, I should mention
the fact that fans at Daily's place

173
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:09.440
were wearing jackets even though it's Florida, because it's fucking cold, and Taz

174
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.039
at one point was complaining about how
cold it was on commentary. So even

175
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.039
in Florida, you can't escape the
winter weather. And yet here in New

176
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:22.440
York this weekend it's going to be
almost sixty. Up is down and down

177
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.399
is up. The world is upside
down. I don't know what's going on

178
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.799
here. We have the floor,
we have the weather that Florida would normally

179
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.720
have in Florida has the weather that
New York would normally have. I'll take

180
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.000
it. I'll take the sixty.
But my god, the rain we got

181
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.840
yesterday, it was like a guerrilla
mond soon outside it was crazy. So

182
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:45.159
Page went right after Claudio. Claudio
had the second entrance, he went after

183
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.120
him as soon as he came out. Referee tried to step in between them.

184
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.360
Hangman was in the corner, but
Claudio poked him in the eye,

185
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.039
and the referee was shielded at the
time, so he didn't see it.

186
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.559
Castignoli performed at early Giants swam on
hangmen and then he put him in the

187
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.000
sharpshooter. Page reached for the ropes
and Claudio countered into a cross face that

188
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.440
he was able to escape. Page
and Claudio. They ended up at ringside,

189
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.919
and Hangman took a swig of someone's
beer at ringside, and then he

190
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:20.000
tossed Claudio back into the ring.
Page charged at him, and as he

191
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.200
charged at him, Claudio, the
beast that he is, he pressed this

192
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.120
man over his head. He got
the gorilla press, and he gorilla press

193
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.639
slammed him over the top rope onto
the ramp, because at Daily's place they

194
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.679
have the elevated ramp that short aisle
away, the elevated ramp that goes from

195
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.360
the stage to the ring. And
he gorilla pressed him out of the ring

196
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.320
and onto the ramp, and he
took a hell of a fall, and

197
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.159
that took us into the picture and
picture break. So after a charging double

198
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:54.759
stump on the stage Claudio. He
kept Hangman grounded in the ring until Page

199
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.639
wanted a buck shot. He didn't
get a buckshot. Though he ate a

200
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.559
big boot and that put him back
on the ramp. So both men now

201
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.279
were over by the entrance by the
stage and they're slugging it out, and

202
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.279
Hangman got Claudio up against the ropes
and then he puts some distance between them,

203
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.639
and then he did the charge down
the ramp and clotheslined him over the

204
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.679
top rope. Back into the ring. He went for another buckshot lariot,

205
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.240
but it got countered into a very
nice pop up upper cut by Claudio for

206
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.159
an ear fall. Claudio was toying
with him, which only pissed off Hangman.

207
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.480
Both men spilled out to the floor. Hangman wanted a moon salt off

208
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.080
the apron, but Claudio caught him
and then he with him on his shoulder

209
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.519
in a power slam position. He
plowed this man into the concrete wall.

210
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.960
Now, if you were watching the
show, you know what I'm talking about.

211
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.759
They when they shoot the show,
there's an angle where they have one

212
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.799
section of fans that are kind of
by themselves, and they have the tron

213
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.279
is above them, and there's a
a little ledge that's actually the section that

214
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.039
Brandon was in with his solomonster side, and so you have that little section

215
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.759
of fans and it, but there's
a wall, it's like a concrete barrier

216
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.000
right below them, and then the
fans are on that like top level.

217
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.240
So he plowed him into the concrete
barrier with a running power slam. Then

218
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.159
he went forward again, but this
time when he went to charging for it

219
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.120
again, Page countered into a DDT
on the floor. So when he got

220
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:31.320
back up, Hangman climbed up onto
the stage, onto that little platform in

221
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.799
front of that fan section, and
he delivered a moon salt down onto Claudio.

222
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:41.840
Now back inside, Claudio caught another
dive Page, though he was able

223
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.159
to wiggle free. Claudio had him
in a position for something. He was

224
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.360
able to wiggle free, and he
hit a tombstone for a two count.

225
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.000
Hangman wanted a dead eye, but
Claudio countered and dropped him face first onto

226
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.559
the top turnbuckle and he started firing
off uppercut and then a short arm lariat.

227
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.519
He wanted the neutralizer, but Hangman
countered into the dead I only got

228
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:11.200
two and then Hangman wanted another springboard
clothesline. Claudio caught him with an uppercut

229
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.799
in mid air. Both men went
to the ropes. Claudio wanted an Avalanche

230
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.679
Ricola bomb. That was the first
time I noticed Brandon in the crowd.

231
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.879
Page though turned it into a Hurricane
RNA, and then Hangman followed up with

232
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.639
not one but two buckshot Lariot's.
The first one put Claudio down just briefly,

233
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.639
and then the second one put him
down for good. He picks up

234
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.759
the win. An excellent opener with
a hot crowd. This was a fine

235
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:38.720
way to kick off the show,
and it was a necessary win for Hangman

236
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.759
because as we saw on the show
last week, clearly they were setting up

237
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:47.919
Hangman to challenge for the aw World
title. I said last week, I

238
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.679
think we're getting a triple threat Magic
Revolution. I think it's going to be

239
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.039
Samoa Joe defending his title against Hangman
and Swerve Strickland. At the very least,

240
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.840
we're gonna get Hangman Swerve three on
TV to decide on a number one

241
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.880
contender. I mean, they may
do that match anyway and then we end

242
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.839
up with no winner and that takes
us to a three way at the pay

243
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.680
per view. But whatever the situation
is, if this man is going to

244
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:17.039
possibly be challenging for the world title, he can't be losing here. So

245
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:21.880
this was a necessary win for Hangman
Page Blackpool Combat Club, though I will

246
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.920
say they've been taking some losses lately. Claudio here tonight, but we've had

247
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.720
John Moxley ran. He lost to
Eddie Kingston in the finals of the Continental

248
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.200
Classic, Andie lost in his triple
threat match at Russell Kingdom. Brian Danielson

249
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.680
lost to Eddie Kingston in the Continental
Classic and then he went to the Tokyo

250
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:44.640
Dome and he lost to Okada.
So the Blackpool Combat Club has a losing

251
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:52.039
streak going. Highlights aired of the
late Brodie Lee. As I mentioned before,

252
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.880
tonight's show felt in part like another
tribute show almost to him, and

253
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.839
they showed highlights from his brief run
in the company, and all of his

254
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:07.519
matches happened to Daily's plays and the
TNT title win over Cody Rhoades as well.

255
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.519
They showed him putting down Cody and
winning the TNT Championship from him.

256
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:18.000
Ex Caliber referred to him as the
greatest TNT champion in history and again it

257
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.359
really sucks that he never had the
chance to perform in front of actual fans.

258
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.720
Ex Caliber said that he will live
in the hearts of everyone in aw

259
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:33.720
including his hand picked proteges Impresston Vance
and Ana j who they said would be

260
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.119
in separate eight person tags on this
show. And that's what we had up

261
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.640
next, the first of those eight
person tag matches, this time with the

262
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.799
men. Now, these people were
personally, as I understand it, they

263
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.400
were personally hand picked by Negative One. So Brodie Lee Junior is the one

264
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:57.160
who played matchmaker for these two tag
matches. Here it was Adam Copeland,

265
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:03.319
Orange Cassidy, Dustin Roads, and
Presston Vance, who I know he got

266
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.599
very close to after his father passed
away, taking on Lance Archer, Brian

267
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:14.160
Cage and the Gates of Agony.
So just forget that Presston Vance. He

268
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.480
made the Negative One cry and he
attacked the Dark Order. For the purposes

269
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.680
of this smash, we'll just pretend
that didn't have But this was Adam Copeland's

270
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.960
debut here in Daily's place, and
he looked like he was having a good

271
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:32.720
time. Cassidy was taking a lot
of punishment. Through a commercial break,

272
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.240
Archer launched Cassidy clear across the ring
and he followed up with a step up

273
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:44.200
knee in the corner. Archer wanted
the locomotion splashes, but Jose the assistant

274
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:48.759
tripped him up the third go round, and so Jake the Snake Roberts who

275
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.000
was out that this jacket that he
was wearing too, I mean, Jake

276
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.880
was dressed to the nines here on
this show. He oh, Jake doesn't

277
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.559
get to appear on Dynamite very often, so he wanted to. He wanted

278
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.279
to look his best. He was
outside. He didn't like the fact that

279
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.680
Jose tripped up Lance Archer, so
Jake walked over to Jose. He punched

280
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.599
him in the face. Jose took
this huge bump for him on the floor.

281
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.039
So Cassidy managed a around the world. DDT made the hot tag to

282
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.599
Preston Vance, and Vance ran wild
on everybody. Bishop Cone he ducked a

283
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:27.240
discus lariat, but Vance answered with
a ripcord cutter. The match broke down.

284
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.680
At this point. Cage dropped Dustin
with an F five. He tried

285
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:34.599
for an F five on Copeland.
Copeland landed on his feet and he countered

286
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:41.279
into an impaler. DDT Cone dropped
Copeland with a gutbuster. Cassidy, though,

287
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.480
was there with an orange punch.
Lance Archer hit a boss man slam,

288
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.720
and then we got some friendly fire
between him and Toto Leona. So

289
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.920
this led to Brian Cage taking out
his own partner with a clothes line to

290
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:59.039
the floor, but he turned around
into it Adam Copeland's spear, and then

291
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:04.440
they missed the finish. They missed
the finish of the match, which was

292
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:14.119
Pressed in Vance delivering a Brody Lee
esque discus lariat to Bishop Kohne to win

293
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.359
the match for his team. They
did show a replay of it, thankfully.

294
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.880
Are we sure that Tony Khan did
not bring Kevin Dunn in after the

295
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.480
first of the year. You know, Kevin Dun's a free agent as of

296
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.079
midnight on January first? Are we
sure? Can we be sure that Tony

297
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.799
Kahan did not make a phone call
the Kevin Dunn? How do you miss

298
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.519
the finish of this match? It's
the most important part anyway, This was

299
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:44.599
just a crowd pleasing match. Vance
went over as the guy who was hand

300
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:48.039
picked by Brodie Lee. You know
again, he was the protege of Brodie

301
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.079
Lee, and I would imagine this
was just the one off as far as

302
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:57.920
doing something with Pressed Advance, because
he's not involved in anything on Dynamite.

303
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:03.000
I don't think that's gonna change.
Just because of this match tonight. I

304
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.920
don't think it's the start of a
face turn with him or anything like that.

305
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:10.440
Again, he was booked by a
child. We got a feel good

306
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:17.200
moment. Leave it alone, that's
all it is. Rene was backstage with

307
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:22.960
Bullet Club Gold Switchblade. Jay White
said that anything the Undisputed Kingdom can do,

308
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.599
the Bang Bang Gang could do better, including going after some gold.

309
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:33.039
That's when Billy gunned the acclaim.
They walked in the trio's champs. Anthony

310
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.480
Bowen said, look, if we
are a united force, we can win

311
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.319
all the gold except bees, you
can't get these titles, but we could

312
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:49.599
win all the gold. And they
suggested forming basically a supergroup and I think

313
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.599
what was the name that he called
it, the Bang Bang Scissor Gang.

314
00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.640
As if we need Jay White involved
in this, so anyway, they said

315
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:07.920
they'll think about it. Austin Gunn
was left trying to basically explain that Austin

316
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:10.920
Gunn seems to be the only one
who's really down for the idea. They've

317
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.400
played that up in the last segment
we saw last time, where he was

318
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.880
the only member of Bullet Club Gold
who was like, well, you know,

319
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:19.880
it's not a bad idea, so
he seems to be the one who's

320
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:26.319
mostly considering this proposal. I don't
know, you know. J White lost

321
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:33.720
to MJF at full gear, and
it just seems he's directionless ever since then.

322
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.480
I'd like to see them come up
with something a little bit better and

323
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.200
a little bit more, a story
of more value than this for someone like

324
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.720
Switchblade J White. This is not
what I was hoping he would be involved

325
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:52.920
in as we started twenty twenty,
But then we had our new AW World

326
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:59.440
Champion, Samoa Joe making his first
live appearance since beating MJF for the world

327
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.400
title of World's End. Joe came
out. He was in a suit,

328
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:10.480
and he has returned the AW World
title to its native black strap. No

329
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.279
more Burberry strap. It's the old
AW World title, but on a black

330
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.319
strap. He said, he stands
before us tonight as our new AW World

331
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.000
Champion, and he got chance of
thank you, Joe, he said,

332
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.200
no, thanks to needed. He
was destined for this, he said.

333
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.359
Tonight we make some changes to the
championship challenging protocol. He said, when

334
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.160
you win this title, it makes
you a mark man. And he even

335
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.960
hears that the devil is after him, but he runs things here in Duval

336
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:44.279
County. No more will you have
to come out here to whine about your

337
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.680
misfortunes or go on social media and
make your whole ass comments. I wasn't

338
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.599
sure if he was referring to his
boss when he made that comment. But

339
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.160
no longer will you go on social
media and talk shit. No, he

340
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.400
says, you bring your record and
your reputation, admit it to the Championship

341
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.240
Committee, and if you are deemed
worthy, you get an express pass to

342
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.640
walk that aisle, get in this
ring, and have me stomp your ass

343
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:12.559
out in front of anybody that has
ever cheered for you. He says,

344
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.480
for the new championship, the new
championship era is here, and for all

345
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.400
of you who want a piece of
me, your champion will be waiting.

346
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.720
And then we heard whose house.
Here comes Swerve Strickland, Here comes Prince

347
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:29.759
Nana. In fact, the entire
Mogul embassy, including the ones who just

348
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.680
got their asses beat, they came
back out on stage. Swerve had a

349
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.359
mic in his hand. He said
that this was the first time for him

350
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:45.440
here in Daily's place, but they're
gonna call this whose house. Everybody said

351
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.640
Swerve's house, he said. He
told Hangman Page that it was nothing personal

352
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.759
between them, but he was after
his spot and what did he do,

353
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.200
He said, he took it.
So he's going to reiterate the same thing

354
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.559
to Joe. He says, this
is not a personal thing between them,

355
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:03.119
and he's going to take it.
However, after he takes that title from

356
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:10.240
him, and when Joe chooses to
make this a personal thing, he would

357
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:15.640
be more than happy to. So
they were interrupted by Hangman Page's music and

358
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.559
Paige walked to the ring with the
mic in his hand. He was eyeballing

359
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.960
Swerve the entire time. He says, well, boys, if we're out

360
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.039
here calling our shots making New Year's
resolutions, I'll make mine. He said.

361
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.400
In twenty twenty three, I beat
John Moxley in a Texas deathmatch.

362
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.559
I reunited with the elite at Blood
and Guts and Anarchy in the arena and

363
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.440
he found Swerve. But the one
thing he lost sight of was the aw

364
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:45.599
World Championship, and in twenty twenty
four he will make it his. So

365
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.200
he got up in Swerve's face printed
Nana pulled Swerve out of the ring,

366
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:55.039
so there was no physicality between them. Mogul Embassy left, Hangman turned back

367
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.200
to Samoa. Joe got up in
his face and he told Joe he had

368
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.759
not forgotten what he did to him, and he's to take that title from

369
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:06.200
him for it, and Hangman left
the ring. Joe was left all alone,

370
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.880
and so he held up his title
for all to see. When all

371
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:17.039
of a sudden, we heard Hook's
music. Yes, the same hook that

372
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.960
Gender Mahal does not who hook it? So Gender will have to be educated

373
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.880
about who Hook is. All Gender
has to do is look up, apparently,

374
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.599
because they aim the cameras up into
the air and they had a hook

375
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.079
signal. Now, I admit I
have not been following all of his matches

376
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:38.920
on rampage or wherever he's been wrestling
recently. But I don't know. Is

377
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.519
this a new thing. Maybe they
only did it because they were in Daily's

378
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:45.599
place and they were outside. I
don't know. But now we have like

379
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.640
like a bat signal, only it
says hook. They call it the hook

380
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:56.440
signal. So Hook walks out,
he circles the ring before he gets inside.

381
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.680
He called out Joe for those who
don't know. In a preten segment

382
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.319
on Collision this past weekend. It
was a brief pretape. He was outside

383
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:08.079
somewhere, he was in his bubble
jacket, and he had challenged Joe to

384
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.240
a championship match. So now here
he is. He came nose to nose

385
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:18.000
with Samoa Joe. By the way, I'm old enough to remember when his

386
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:26.480
father manage Samoa Joe in TNA,
and now here's his son coming out and

387
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.240
challenging Joe to a title match.
He told Joe one week, he put

388
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.799
his finger in the air, and
he wasn't talking about Roman reigns. He

389
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.079
put his finger in the air.
He said one week, one week,

390
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.200
and he's coming for Joe. He's
coming for that title one week from tonight.

391
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.119
So Samoa Joe has everybody gunning for
him again. Like I said,

392
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.480
MJF, it was the same thing, right. It was Jay White,

393
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.359
and then the Wardlove vignette started airing
and it was Samoa Joe at Grand Slam.

394
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:55.160
I mean, he had people coming
from every angle after him and his

395
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:59.039
title. And now Samoa Joe,
he's been champion for what a week,

396
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.680
little over a week, and this
guy's got him coming from every angle here.

397
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:11.079
Hook has a twenty eight to one
record, so Hook has been racking

398
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.519
up wins. He has not been
racking up that many wins on Dynamite,

399
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.440
so I can see where people wouldn't
really know that he's got a twenty eight

400
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.680
and one record, but he does
have a twenty eight and one record.

401
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.680
And so just like that, Samoa
Joe has got at least three, if

402
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.480
not four, challengers if you want
to throw Wardlow in there, coming for

403
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:32.440
the aw World title. So the
Hook match is happening. They confirmed it

404
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.480
later in the show. It will
be Samoa Joe defending his title on Dynamite

405
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:44.160
next Wednesday against Hook, And as
I said earlier, Hangman Swerve probably gonna

406
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.559
get the three way. I would
think at Revolution it may not be the

407
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.960
main event, and I'm not expecting
Joe to lose the title this quickly.

408
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:55.200
I hope he doesn't, but with
Sting's retirement match being on that show,

409
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:59.400
that will probably be closing out the
show. And honestly, if it were

410
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.079
me, I would let Joe run
with the title for a little while.

411
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.279
You know, I was of the
mind before Joe won the belt, Swerve

412
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.160
MJF Revolution, that's your main event, right that in the Sting match,

413
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.559
that's your double bill at Revolution.
Then MJF lost the belt and Joe won

414
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.240
it, and I was very happy
to see Joe win the belt. Last

415
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.640
thing I want to do is see
Joe drop the belt two months after he

416
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:26.200
won it. Joe's walking out there
tonight in that suit. He's talking about

417
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:27.599
here's the way things are going to
be done from now on. He looks

418
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:32.440
like a fucking boss out there,
and who knows, maybe the only run

419
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.559
that he's got with that title.
I'd like to see them give him some

420
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.039
time with it. Swerve is gonna
get his moment this year. It's gonna

421
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.880
happen, and if it doesn't happen
a revolution, I think it'll happen a

422
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.880
double or nothing. And there's no
harm in pushing it back a little bit

423
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.480
until Vegas in May and doing it
there. But give Joe a run.

424
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:53.359
Let Joe have some time with this
title. He walked out there tonight and

425
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:57.839
he looked like a champion, and
it would suck for them to take that

426
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.640
title away from him that quickly.
Remember when he won the TNT title,

427
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.000
That's basically what they did. They
had him drop the belt. It was

428
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.920
a year ago on Dynamite to Darby. I don't think he had it for

429
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:14.039
very long, so give him some
time with it. Joe. Also,

430
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:18.839
by the way, he mentioned a
championship committee making the decisions from now on.

431
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.400
I don't know if that was just
a throwaway line. I would assume

432
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.480
not. So they're going with this
idea of there now. They didn't say

433
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:30.160
who would be on the championship committee. They just said that there is a

434
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.039
championship committee and they'll be the ones
making the decisions from now on. So

435
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:38.359
I wonder if that means no more
of these random eliminator matches to crown number

436
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:44.559
one contenders if we have a championship
committee. This week's episode is sponsored by

438
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.640
out with the family at the mall. You need to use the bathroom,

439
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.279
so you leave your kids with a
total stranger while you go take care of

440
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.279
your business. Right, You would
never ever do that, because that would

441
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.200
be very stupid. How are you
supposed to trust a total stranger with something

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:07.440
so precious to you? Well,
think of your data the same way.

443
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.480
Why leave something so important in the
hands of someone you might not be able

457
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.359
Deanna Parrazzo's debut on last week's show, when she came out and upstaged Mariah

458
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:22.920
May after she made her in ring
debut. Backstage, Renee was with Timeless,

459
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.759
Tony Storm Luther, and Mariah May. Mariah asked Tony. She was

460
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.559
so excited. She asked Tony if
she had time to see her match,

461
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:37.559
and Tony said that she was sent
her screener and she didn't see a single

462
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:39.759
bit of it. And she started
asking your questions. She said, did

463
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:45.200
you do an arm drag? And
Renee said, actually, I was referring

464
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:49.960
to aw's newest signee, and Tony
cut her off and said, Wendy Richter,

465
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.880
he didn't see that moment from the
media scrum. There were some embarrassing

466
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:58.319
moments from that media scrum. That
was the best moment from the media scrum

467
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:04.680
was when Tony Storm is sitting there
with Tony Kahan and somebody in the scrum

468
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:10.039
asked Tony a question about her next
challenger or something, and Tony was out

469
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:14.320
there just kind of freelancing, and
she she stood up and she said,

470
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:17.639
Wendy Richter, she said, I'm
gonna fuck you up. I mean,

471
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.159
she plays this but you can't say
whether you like the character or not.

472
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.440
And I love it. I think
it's fucking great. One thing you can't

473
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:29.480
say is that this woman is not
committed to this character. When she said

474
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:36.119
Wendy Richter, I fucking died so
that's where the Wendy Richter quip comes from.

475
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.519
Renee said, no, no,
no, it's Deanna Pirazzo. And

476
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:43.440
she said that she was coming for
your title. And then Mariah May piped

477
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.639
it and said, oh yeah,
and you know she kicked me in the

478
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:52.480
face. So Tony handed Mariah a
chocolate to shut her up. And Tony

479
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.840
said, Dianna Pirazzo, Deanna Parozzo. That sounds familiar, She said,

480
00:34:54.840 --> 00:35:00.440
it sounds Italian. She asked Luther
to set her up a meeting with this

481
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:06.159
dot this Donna Palazzo. Set up
a meeting, she said. Until then

482
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.960
shin up, tits out, and
she asked for her final line. Mariah

483
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:14.039
told her watch for the shoe,
and then Tony chewed her out for stealing

484
00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:17.159
her line. And this pop taz
On commentary pop me too, but a

485
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.360
pop taz On commentary. You can
see the resentment building a little bit each

486
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:27.960
week in Mariah May. Every time
that Tony Storm blows her off, you

487
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.039
could see the resentment building because there's
a longer story being told here between those

488
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:35.920
two. You can't tell it now
because Mariah Maaman she just made her erring

489
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.280
debut a week ago. But every
time they do a segment like that that

490
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:45.719
resentment is building and building and building
a little bit more. We had Sammy

491
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:51.920
Gavara one on one with Absolute Ricky
Starks. Guvara and Chris Jericho. For

492
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.719
those who don't know, they are
wrestling Ricky Starks and Big Bill this Saturday

493
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.320
for the AW tag team titles.
It's going to be a street fight at

494
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:04.760
Battle of the Belts. This is
a busy night on Saturday, so we

495
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:08.679
have Collision from eight to ten.
From ten to eleven is Battle of the

496
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:13.239
Belt nine, which is where this
match is taking place. It's basically three

497
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:17.000
hours of AW on Saturday. New
Japan has its Battle in the Valley show

498
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:22.360
and TNA has It's Hard to Kill
pay per view, and they're still hyping

499
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:29.400
a major signing. Some big name
is going to show up at the TNA

500
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:31.760
pay per view, and I don't
know. I thought I saw somewhere where

501
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:36.480
supposedly they said it's not a female
star. I don't know if that's confirmed

502
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:40.280
or not, because there's an obvious
free agent out there that it could potentially

503
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.480
be. Apparently it's not going to
be that person, So I don't know

504
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.239
who it's going to be. But
all that is going on on Saturday night,

505
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:50.480
so it's going to be a busy
night anyway. Sammy here at the

506
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:54.280
beginning of this match. He hit
an oriharamunsalt to Ricky Starks on the floor.

507
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:59.920
That got most of Ricky's shoulder,
and Ricky immediately grabbed his shoulder.

508
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:05.280
Thankfully, he's okay. That was
a little scary. They ended up back

509
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.400
inside and then out on the apron
and Ricky delivered a double underhook's slam the

510
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:14.960
Angel's Wings to Sammy on the apron, where he lifted him up, got

511
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.519
him about halfway into the air,
and then he turned with him and then

512
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.519
dropped him and drove him down face
first onto the apron. So that was

513
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.119
wild, and that took us into
the picture and picture break and it was

514
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:30.679
all Ricky throughout the break. Starks
tried a Tko Gavar though spun out into

515
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:36.960
a superkick and Sammy went up top. Starks grabbed his foot and he clobbered

516
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.039
him with some punches to the side
of the head. Gavar fought free.

517
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:44.000
He tried a moon salt. Starks, though caught him with the double boots

518
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.559
on the way down, caught him
flush right in the face and then he

519
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:51.440
had to sit out power bomb for
a two count. Stark sprinted, but

520
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.559
he ended up sliding face first into
the corner after Gavar Elite frogged him.

521
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.840
Sammy tried for the goat hell,
but Ricky landed on his feet. He

522
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:04.559
countered into a jackknife pin attempt only
got a two count. Starks wanted a

523
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.320
spear and Gavara dodged it, hit
another kick, and then rolled up Ricky

524
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:12.039
for the surprise win. He just
rolled them up out of nowhere and pinned

525
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:16.519
one half of the tag team champions, which I would imagine does not bode

526
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:22.119
well for he and Jericho's chances on
Saturday, because if you beat Ricky,

527
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.039
of all people, you pin Ricky
Starks here and then you beat them for

528
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:30.480
the Belts on Saturday, well,
boy does that barry Ricky Starks. So

529
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:32.800
I would think that bodes well for
him and Big Bill retaining on Saturday.

530
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:36.880
But the match was good. It
was too short to be anything great,

531
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:38.519
though, because it just felt to
me like they're saving all the good stuff

532
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.920
for Battle of the Belts, so
they didn't want to give too much away

533
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.639
here. So it was good.
It was fine, but I mean it

534
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:49.719
was, you know, probably half
as half as great as we know a

535
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.239
match between these two could be.
We didn't get that match here on this

536
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.880
show. When the match was over, though, Gavar and Starks, shockingly

537
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:00.880
they shook hands and it looked like
Ricky was being you know, he was

538
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:05.440
being very magnanimous here. But of
course it was all just deploy because as

539
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.639
they're shaking hands, here comes Big
Bill, and Bill ambushes Sammy from behind,

540
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:16.760
and then we hear Judas they played
Judas, and out comes Chris Jericho

541
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:22.079
in his leather jacket and he's got
Floyd the baseball bat with him. He

542
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:27.559
drops Big Bill with a codebreaker and
the springboard dropkick on the apron that he

543
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:32.880
does Stark's and Gevar. They continued
brawling around the ringside area. Jericho and

544
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:37.199
Bill, they brawled into the fans. They brawled up into the crowd,

545
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:44.639
and they left Jericho's music to play
out throughout all of this. They never

546
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:49.000
cut the music off, so as
all four men are brawling again, they're

547
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:52.599
over here. These guys are over
here. They let Judas just play through

548
00:39:53.039 --> 00:40:00.559
clearly to mask any potential booze or
chance of NDA that might ring out in

549
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.760
the crowd. You will not never
convince me that this was done for any

550
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:10.199
other reason other than to mask a
potential negative reaction to Chris Jericho. Now,

551
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:13.840
there were people a lot of people
who were singing the song because they

552
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:16.280
liked the song. But they were
singing the song at World's End too,

553
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:22.360
until the song stopped. Then they
weren't cheering anymore. That's the only reason

554
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:27.480
they did that was because they were
afraid of the reaction that he might get,

555
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.320
and so they just let the song
play. Not going to be able

556
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:35.840
to play the song though throughout the
entire match on Saturday, although they did

557
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:37.559
do that, I guess they were
playing I remember the first anarchy in the

558
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:42.760
arena. They left the music playing
for like five or six minutes. Not

559
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.119
going to be able to do that
at Battle of the Belts. But if

560
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.760
you think that they let that music
play for any other reason, then you're

561
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:52.679
a fool. So then we had
our other eight person tag team match of

562
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.760
the night, this time with the
ladies. It was thunder Rosa, Chris

563
00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:01.400
Statlander, Anna Jay and Willow Nightingale
taking on Surrey Ruby, Soho, sky

564
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:08.119
Blue and the TBS champion Julia Hart
Stokely Hathaway was at ringside holding a sign

565
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:13.880
that said let Stoke manage you stat
as a Statlander was going around ringside.

566
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:17.840
They're doing an angle where he's lobby. He wants to manage Chris Statlanders.

567
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:22.519
So that's a little side story they
have going on. Ruby tried early on

568
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:28.320
to talk some shit to Anna,
who popped her with a forearm and a

569
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:32.039
kick in the corner. So we
had some quick tags on the baby face

570
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:37.519
side. Ruby took a series of
quick offense, with thunder Rosa being the

571
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.360
one who was standing tall. At
the end of it, Ruby floated over

572
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:45.239
Rosa and then fell into her corner
and Julia made the tag and she attacked

573
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:50.320
thunder Rosa from behind and the heels
came back. They returned the favor.

574
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:54.320
They all took turns stomping on Rosa
before she fought back and she tagged in

575
00:41:54.400 --> 00:42:00.440
Willow connected on a corner splash.
Aubrey Edwards was just tracted. That allowed

576
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:07.800
Cameron to trip up Willow Nightingale Cameron. Of course, for those who don't

577
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.119
know Cameron Harley, Cameron is the
blonde who's out there now with Sorea and

578
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:15.880
Ruby. This was an early birthday
gift from Sirea to Ruby. Soho,

579
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:22.800
yesterday was Ruby's birthday and so she
got her a blonde as a birthday g

580
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:24.400
how come nobody can get me a
blonde is a birthday gift? I mean,

581
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:28.760
I am a blonde, but how
come nobody ever gets me a birthday

582
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:34.000
gift like that? I'd like a
blonde. She got Ruby a blonde for

583
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:37.599
a birthday gift, and she's like
this crazy person. And so now they're

584
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.079
all together. So when I say
Cameron, I'm talking about Harley Cameron,

585
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:46.280
not Cameron from WWA. Anyway,
Willow dropped to Julia and sky Blue with

586
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:51.400
a double clothes line. Stat Lander
made the hot tag. She cleaned house.

587
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.480
She laid out Sorea with a spinning
Fishermen's driver for two. The match

588
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:59.960
broke down as the eight person tag
early earlier in the show did where that

589
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:06.239
match broke down, so too did
this one. Babyfaces hit a quadruple suplex.

590
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:09.920
They did a quadruple superplex spot in
this match were not superplex but in

591
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:14.960
the middle of the ring of suplex, and then each woman took turns hitting

592
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.760
a big move that ended with Statlander
hitting Soraya with a rolling German and that

593
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:22.239
left Anna Jay and Julia the Legal
Women. They were staring each other down

594
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:29.039
and Anna J got her Queen Slayer
finish applied. Did not see sky Blue

595
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:31.280
make the blind tag though. All
this did was allow Anna to sink in

596
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:36.719
the Queen Slayer on her and she
got the tap out from sky Blue to

597
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.199
win the match for her team.
So again, like the eight man tag

598
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:43.840
earlier on, this was the Dark
Order protege going over in the end.

599
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:49.159
It was pressed in vans earlier here
it was Anna J. Again, I

600
00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:52.920
reiterate the match was made by a
twelve year old. The action was okay,

601
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.480
but you know, I didn't really
care for it, just you know,

602
00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:00.800
throwing these people together and these eighte
man tags didn't didn't do much for

603
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:05.159
me. But at least here I'll
say this about this match. I can't

604
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.719
say this about the men's match,
but I will say this about the women's

605
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.960
match. It does look like we
may be setting up here based on the

606
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:16.360
finish to Ana Jay getting a TBS
title shot against Julia Harp because they were

607
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:20.400
eyeing each other when the match was
over. So at least we might get

608
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:22.119
a title match out of this.
I don't think we're getting pressed in vance,

609
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:29.159
challenging for a title anytime soon.
We had Roderick Strong out with Adam

610
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:34.320
Cole and the rest of the Undisputed
Kingdom for a match with the bounty Hunter

611
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:39.159
Brian Keith. Still looking for his
first win. They said he'll have to

612
00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:45.480
keep looking because he didn't get it. Tonight, Keith caught Roddy with a

613
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:50.559
boot, fired off some chops,
sent him to the floor with another big

614
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.199
boot. Yeah, he got a
bit of offense here in this match,

615
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:57.079
but it was all for nothing.
Roddy hit an angle slam, he wanted

616
00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:01.079
a superplex. Keith bought off with
a diamond dust and then he wanted a

617
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:06.639
tiger driver. Strong popped up though, hit a leaping knee strike and then

618
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:13.079
the end of hearta backbreaker for the
victory. So after the match, Adam

619
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.920
Cole, in his walking boot,
sits in a chair in the ring.

620
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:20.800
Stop me if you've heard this before. He sits in the ring, He's

621
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:24.039
surrounded by all the members of the
Undisputed Kingdom, and he said he meant

622
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:30.679
what he said when he said this
place was about to change. So many

623
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:35.039
people are obsessed with earning people's respect. They want to earn your respect.

624
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:37.880
He goes, We're not interested in
that because we deserve it. We're not

625
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.440
interested in trying to earn your respect, said Roderick Strong is a twenty year

626
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:45.719
veteran. He is the greatest pro
wrestler alive today and as far as he's

627
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:52.559
concerned, the AW International Championship has
his name on it. Then, he

628
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:55.280
said, Tavid and Bennett not only
the greatest Ring of Honor World Tag Team

629
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.960
Champions of all time, but our
rating Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions.

630
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.280
He said, they have never ever
gotten the respect that they deserve.

631
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:08.639
They will go down as one of
the greatest tag teams that has one of

632
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:16.079
the greatest tag teams that has ever
lived. That's pretty funny. And of

633
00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:22.159
course, he said, the monster
the Dominator, one of the most vicious

634
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:28.159
men in AW history, Wardlow,
And now that Wardlow is surrounded by people

635
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:31.079
that actually respect him, when the
time is right, we said, we

636
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:37.920
are going to win the AW World
Championship because remember what Adam Cole said in

637
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:43.360
the first promo that he did,
said that if Wardlow wins, or when

638
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.679
Wardlow wins the title, he's going
to hand it over to me. And

639
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:52.840
Wardlow kind of laughed it off.
So he said, boys and girls,

640
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:57.320
say hello to your new home,
or should I say you were a new

641
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.679
kingdom, and do me a favorite. Make sure you get comfortab because we're

642
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:07.639
gonna be here for a very very
long time. So they repeated the same

643
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:15.000
promo from last week. It was
exactly the same promo last week. He

644
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:19.079
sat in the ring in a chair
just like he did here, surrounded by

645
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.559
the members of his faction, and
he went one by one and told us

646
00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.360
what the mission statement is for each
person. Roddy, You're going to be

647
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:29.360
the International Champion, Tavin Embednett of
the Ring of Outer World Tag team Champions,

648
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:32.840
Wardlow is going to be the aw
World Champion. It's exactly what they

649
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:37.920
did here. He offered nothing new. I think Cole lives in Florida,

650
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:42.400
so at least they didn't have to
fly him in. But why even bother

651
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:45.679
having him travel to the show on
one leg, he could just stayed home,

652
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:51.440
get to skip the week, brought
him back next week. What was

653
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:54.400
the point of this? We already
got the promo last week? Did we

654
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:59.559
really need it a second time?
Are we gonna get it? At the

655
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.480
end of it? Every single match
that they have where David and Bennett when

656
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:04.800
they win their next match, is
going to cut the same promo again.

657
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:12.039
I don't know, man, I
don't know. No mention of MJF.

658
00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:15.280
MJF was apparently. I think MJF
is away, or so I heard.

659
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:21.119
I believe he's away on vacation in
COS three, But he is also deciding

660
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:24.159
on what his course of action is
going to be as far as his injuries.

661
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:27.800
He's gonna have surgery, is he
gonna rehab? What's he gonna do?

662
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:30.639
I talked about it on the podcast
on Sunday. I haven't seen the

663
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:35.880
man's X rays. I don't know
how severe the laboram tear is and his

664
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.679
injuries are. If they're serious enough, just have surgery, you know,

665
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:42.880
I mean, don't. It's a
situation where he's young enough, and he's

666
00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:45.239
an important enough part of this company. You don't want to half ass something

667
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:49.000
like this. If he's got serious
injuries, whether it be his arm,

668
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:52.199
his hip, that need to be
addressed, and surgery will take care of

669
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.000
it, even if it keeps him
out for up to a year to have

670
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:59.800
the surgery. It's not like this
company is hurting for talent. It fucks

671
00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:02.599
up this entire storyline. If he
doesn't come back for a while. But

672
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:07.559
you've already got Adam Cole who can't
even walk and they made him the devil,

673
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:13.320
so he's gonna be hobbling around now
for the next four months. So

674
00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:16.440
what difference is it? Mate?
They got will Osprey coming in. You

675
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:19.920
look at all the other talent they
got, right, swerve. I think

676
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:22.519
I'll end up winning the title Samoa
Joe as the champion. You've got Hangman,

677
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:29.320
You've got Darby, You've got Sammy, You've got all these different people

678
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:31.559
the House of Black, You've got
Brian Danielson, You've got Eddie Kingston.

679
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:37.119
The company is in good hands talent
wise. Just get better. Don't do

680
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:42.199
the opposite of what Coda Abushi did. That would be my advice, unsolicited

681
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:46.639
advice to mjf Okay, not knowing
exactly the severity of the injuries. Do

682
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:52.840
the opposite of what Coda Ibushi did. Please don't. We don't need another

683
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:58.199
Cody Aboushie. He's too important to
this company to not get one hundred healthy

684
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:04.920
and comeback. Strow Rene was backstage
with their latest signing, The Virtuosa.

685
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.800
Deanna Pirazzo, former Impact Knockouts champion
She said that she set her sights on

686
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:14.440
Tony's storm, and if she wants
to pretend Tony wants to pretend that she

687
00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:17.000
doesn't know who she is, and
then that's fine. She'll have her people

688
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:24.800
send Tony's people her screener after she
makes her debut on Collision this Saturday,

689
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:30.199
and before she could tell us exactly
who she was going to be making her

690
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:37.559
debut against Red Velvet show though Red
Velvet does the whole. I think of

691
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:42.320
Daly's place in Red Velvet. I
think of Red Velvet and Cody Rhodes against

692
00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:46.159
the Jade Cargill and Shaquille O'Neal.
Because Brandy was pregnant and couldn't wrestle,

693
00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:50.199
so Red Velvet took her place.
Red Velvet was basically, you know,

694
00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:54.039
she was the substitute for Brandy Rhoads. That was her big moment, right,

695
00:50:54.119 --> 00:51:00.719
she got to share the ring with
Shack. Red Velvet comes in to

696
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:06.039
camera view and Red Velvet says she'll
also be making her Collision debut this Saturday,

697
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.519
and she suggested they wrestle each other. And here's my question. If

698
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:15.360
she was already gonna be making her
debut on Collision, I mean, why

699
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:20.960
issue the challenge. I mean,
didn't she already have an opponent? Evidently

700
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.199
not, so she went and challenged
Deanna Parazza to a match, and I

701
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:28.199
guess that's the match we're gonna get. We're gonna get Red Velvet against Deanna

702
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:34.079
Parrazzo. So they're vaulting Deanna Parrazzo
here day one. They're already letting you

703
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:38.360
know that before long, maybe by
revolution, they are vaulting this woman into

704
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:45.119
contention for Tony Storm's aw Women's World
title. But you know, she's got

705
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:51.000
to win some matches first, you
know, especially if mister Cage Match is

706
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:55.280
going to be on Twitter arguing with
people about win loss records and complaining about

707
00:51:55.320 --> 00:52:00.119
gender Mahal doing nothing and being gifted
a World Heavy WAIH title match on Raw

708
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:07.079
next Monday, then obviously it's important
that the person rack up some wins before

709
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:10.199
they challenged for a championship. Hence
the match with Red Velvet this weekend,

710
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:15.280
and she'll have to rack up some
more wins because that wouldn't make any sense,

711
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:17.679
now, would it. So this
will be her first win on her

712
00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:23.000
march to the eventual match with Tony
Storm. And then we had our main

713
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:29.320
event. We got our main event
of Sting and Darby Allen and Sting's curtain

714
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:31.440
call here in the state of Florida. I mean, unless he wrestles on

715
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:35.559
TV between now in Revolution and they're
back in Florida. I don't think they

716
00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:37.920
are. This was probably the last
time that we will see Sting in the

717
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:42.760
ring in the state of Florida.
Rick Flair was out there as well.

718
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:46.920
He was in their corner, Sting
and Darby taking on Kenoski, Takeshta and

719
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:52.239
Powerhouse Hobbs in a Tornado tag team
match, false count, anywhere, anything

720
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:57.199
goes, all the bells and whistles
that you would expect in a Sting match,

721
00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:01.039
because it's pretty much been like that
rematch he's had so far in aw

722
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.280
Jim Ross joined on commentary for the
main event. The action immediately spilled out

723
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:12.880
onto uh stage into the crowd.
Actually it was into the crowd first.

724
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:17.480
Sting got Hobbs on an equipment case
and sent him for a ride back at

725
00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:22.800
ringside Darby and Takesha They started going
at it and Darby climbed up to the

726
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:25.599
top rope. He hit a coffin
drop and Takeshta caught him and he did

727
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:30.119
the chaos theory, rolling German souplex
on the floor. He dropped Darby right

728
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:36.679
on the back of his neck.
He folded this bucker up. I mean

729
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:40.679
he just folded him up on the
floor as Flair just stood there and watched.

730
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:46.920
So after the break, Sting saved
Darby from a near fall in the

731
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:52.360
ring, but he could not save
him from being hurled across the ring.

732
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:58.559
They did the spot where Takeshta grabs
Darby. I think it was one of

733
00:53:58.599 --> 00:54:01.920
them had his feet, the one
had Darby's arms, and they swung him

734
00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:06.920
back and forth like a pendulum,
and then they let him go and they

735
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:10.480
threw him across the ring, and
somehow Darby was able to twist his body

736
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:15.840
in mid air. He did a
few revolutions, a few spins before he

737
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:20.960
landed, and he smacked his face
his mouth right on the bottom rope.

738
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:24.880
I mean, just the beating this
man. Say, he's a human,

739
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:29.280
you know what he is. He's
a human crash test dummy, that's what

740
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:31.320
he is. Remember the old commercials
of the crash test dummies. They put

741
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:34.480
him in the car, strap him
in, drive him into a wall.

742
00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:39.039
That's Darby. Allen So with Darby
downs Sting was all by himself. He

743
00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:42.639
went right at the heels. He
had his finger splash in the corner to

744
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:45.400
Hobbs, but when he turned around, he walked right into a knee strike

745
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:51.320
from Kenoski to Keshta. So now
Rick Flair says, well, I gotta

746
00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:57.639
get involved here. I can contain
myself no longer takes his jacket off.

747
00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:02.760
Flair climbs into the ring because of
course he did. He delivered chops the

748
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:06.800
Hobbs who no sold them, but
then he thumbed them in the eye.

749
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:10.599
Sting clothes line Takeshda out of the
ring, and Darby followed that with a

750
00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:15.800
suicide dive to the floor, which
knocked Takeshta backwards into that concrete barrier.

751
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:21.840
All four men took the fight now
to the stage. Darby was on Ta

752
00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:25.039
Keshta's back. He had a sleeper
hole apply Takeshta backed up into. It

753
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:30.000
was a metal guardrail because again they
had that fan section off to the side,

754
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:34.039
so there's a guardrail there, and
he backed Darby into the guardrail that

755
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:37.000
broke the hole. Now Here comes
Takesha in with the running knee strike.

756
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:39.960
Darby moves out of the way and
Takesha goes knee first into the metal barricade.

757
00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:45.280
So now Darby says, well,
it's time to take to the skies.

758
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:52.079
And so Darby Allen he climbs one
level up on top of the guardrail.

759
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:57.440
I don't know how many feet up
he was, and he dove off

760
00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:01.400
for a coffin drop and took down
to Kesha. It looked like he barely

761
00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:06.960
grays Takeshda. I mean, he
pretty much just dove off and landed mostly

762
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:12.800
on the fucking stage, and Takesha
went down with him. Meanwhile, Hobbs

763
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:17.199
got Sting up on his shoulder and
he's carrying Sting and he's walking across the

764
00:56:19.679 --> 00:56:22.639
staging. Right in front of that
fan section. There's like a ledge.

765
00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:28.320
It's not a big ledge, a
few inches so he's walking along. Sting

766
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:32.639
wiggles free and he gets Hobbs in
position for a scorpion death drop. And

767
00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:37.119
it just so happens that he wiggled
free and he got him in position for

768
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:42.079
the death drop right in the area
we're down below. In that very location,

769
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:45.239
there were two tables that happened to
be sitting right next to each other.

770
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:49.519
And I hold my breath every time
I see Sting is about to do

771
00:56:49.559 --> 00:56:54.119
something very stupid because the man is
sixty four years old. Sting proceeds to

772
00:56:54.159 --> 00:57:00.559
execute a scorpion death drop off the
ledge. The idea was that they would

773
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.679
go through the two tables. They
missed the first table, and they went

774
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:09.239
through the second table and Sting crashed
to the floor. Back of his head

775
00:57:09.239 --> 00:57:15.440
smacks the floor. So now both
men are down and Sting places his arm

776
00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:22.239
or his hand on top of Hobbs's
body and he pinned him to win the

777
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:24.000
match for his team. They gave
Sting to win here. Sting was never

778
00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:28.159
losing. I don't think Sting is
losing at all. I think Sting is

779
00:57:28.199 --> 00:57:30.960
retiring undefeated. But if the man
is going to lose a match, he's

780
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:32.559
going to lose his last match.
He'll do the honors on the way out.

781
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:39.440
He's not losing two months before his
Revolution match. So Sting and Darby

782
00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:45.400
winning was not a surprise. Sting
doing something stupid in the match also not

783
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.800
a surprise. Darby Allen doing something
stupid in the match even less of a

784
00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:52.199
surprise. So now it looks like
Sting may have rung his bell. He

785
00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:55.559
might be hurt. Doc Samson comes
over to talk to him because Sting is

786
00:57:55.599 --> 00:58:00.679
down. He's communicating with him.
Sting ended up on the uh. He

787
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:04.920
was laying I think on the ring. Apron Darby comes over. Darby's talking

788
00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:08.480
to him. Sting is still down. Now I'm thinking, okay, something

789
00:58:08.559 --> 00:58:12.880
might be wrong here. Eventually Sting
was able to make it to his feet.

790
00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:15.079
He was walking around. He seemed
to be okay. I mean,

791
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:19.639
he could be concussed for all we
know, who knows, but he seemed

792
00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:23.000
to be okay. Nothing seemed to
be broken or anything like that. So

793
00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:25.559
he got back up to his feet. Tony Shavanni now is in the ring.

794
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:29.480
He's in the ring with Sting,
with Darby and with Rick Flair.

795
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:32.599
He goes over to Sting and he
asked thing, who is your final opponent

796
00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:38.000
going to be at Revolution in your
final match at the Greensboro Colisey. And

797
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:43.519
before Sting could answer the question,
he was interrupted by the return of the

798
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:49.599
Young Bucks. And so here comes
Matt and Nick Jackson, who now have

799
00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:54.239
they They've shaved their beards to where
now they have the creepy McMahon mustache.

800
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:59.159
One was wearing black, the other
was dressed in white. They walk out

801
00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:02.800
on to the state, never said
anything. Sting and Darby and Flair,

802
00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:07.239
they're looking at them, They're looking
back at them. We had to stare

803
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:09.239
down for about two and a half
minutes. This lingered for a while.

804
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:15.920
There was no promo, there was
no official declaration of this being the match

805
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:17.679
of revolution, but they sure wanted
you to think that this was going to

806
00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:22.000
be the match of revolution, and
that's how they went off the air.

807
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:27.639
As I said before, the idea
of the Young Bucks being Sting's final opponent

808
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:31.800
of revolution against Sting and Darby does
not excite me. It just doesn't.

809
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:37.159
And the only way it would really
interest me is if they go with the

810
00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:40.719
idea that Sting is going to be
challenging for the tag team titles in his

811
00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:45.480
final match. It's the one thing
Sting and Darby have not done in this

812
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:50.119
run is go for the tag team
titles. There is a story to tell

813
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:52.639
there. The story doesn't just have
to be, oh, it's thing's last

814
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:54.840
match. Is he gonna win or
is he gonna lose? Yeah, I

815
00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:58.079
mean, it's a very simple story
you can do. But I like the

816
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:02.599
idea of sweetening the poddle of bit
and if you really want to send Sting

817
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:07.440
off in a major way. What
better way than to have him challenging for

818
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:13.960
a title and winning the titles with
the man who basically gave him three more

819
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:17.280
years of his career. Sting has
had nothing but glowing things to say about

820
01:00:17.320 --> 01:00:21.679
Darby Allen. Darby Allen has been
a hell of a partner for Sting.

821
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:25.599
I mean he has sacrificed himself in
pretty much every match that these two have

822
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:30.920
ever had together. They have made
for a great team. I would love

823
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:34.960
to see them win those tag team
titles and get that big happy moment with

824
01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:37.480
the confetti falling and they get Sting
up on their shoulders and they're celebrating with

825
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:39.519
him, and what a great moment
it would be. And then you could

826
01:00:39.519 --> 01:00:44.920
always vacate the belts after and have
a tournament, because Tony Khn loves doing

827
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:46.960
those anyway. So it's very simple
as far as what do you do with

828
01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:52.400
the tag belts. That's it.
You vacate them, you have a tournament,

829
01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:57.199
your crown new tag team champions.
Very simple. Now, the Young

830
01:00:57.239 --> 01:01:00.239
Bucks are heels, Ricky Starks and
Big Bill are heels. I'm not so

831
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:04.440
sure that they're gonna be losing those
titles. To Jericho and Sammy a battle

832
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:07.880
of the belts. If they did, it could be a transitional champion situation

833
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:12.440
where Jericho and Sammy win and then
quickly drop the belt to the Bucks.

834
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:17.119
Maybe yeah, maybe next month.
I don't know exactly how they're gonna get

835
01:01:17.159 --> 01:01:21.039
the belts onto them in this scenario, but if they can get the belt

836
01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:23.639
on the Bucks, that would then
interest me. The idea of Sting going

837
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:27.519
out there and beating the shit out
of Matt and Nick Jackson and taking the

838
01:01:27.559 --> 01:01:31.000
belts away from them, that makes
me interested in a Young Bucks match against

839
01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:37.599
Sing and Darky because otherwise, yeah, to me, it just feels very

840
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:42.119
self indulgent, you know, having
them be the whoah we want to be

841
01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:45.639
in Sting's final match, you know. And they're just so cold right now.

842
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:47.760
The last time we saw them,
they were in the midst of the

843
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:52.320
heel turned. They were throwing a
fit like a couple of children at the

844
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:55.679
end of their match with full gear. We haven't seen them since. The

845
01:01:55.760 --> 01:02:00.880
Young Bucks have never been colder than
they are now in this company. There

846
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:05.679
have been moments and times in this
company where the Elite has had certain stories

847
01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:07.960
going and the Young Bucks had this
spring of great matches, and they were

848
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:13.480
this big attraction and they just feel
to me right now like their stock has

849
01:02:13.559 --> 01:02:15.800
never been lower. And now you're
going to put them in the ring with

850
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.480
Sting and Drby at Revolution. I
mean, yeah, it'll get great heel

851
01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:22.440
heat if the fans think that you
have these close near falls where the Bucks

852
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:27.519
might actually end stings career. I
mean, I think those will get good

853
01:02:27.559 --> 01:02:30.079
heat from the people in Greensboro.
I think if the Bucks beat Sting in

854
01:02:30.119 --> 01:02:34.760
Greensboro, there might be a fucking
riot in that building. But man,

855
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:37.239
it would be so much better if
you have those titles on the line.

856
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:39.800
I just think it would add that
much more heat to the match, and

857
01:02:39.840 --> 01:02:43.920
it would just make for a bigger
moment, I think at the end of

858
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:46.800
it. So we'll see. The
one thing I have to say though,

859
01:02:47.239 --> 01:02:52.480
as far as Tony Kahan, and
you could say what you want to about

860
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:54.679
his style of booking and the way
he's booked certain people in this company.

861
01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:59.000
I've talked about it, a lot
of people have talked about it, But

862
01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:05.760
the one thing I've always been very
complimentary to him about is his treatment of

863
01:03:05.800 --> 01:03:08.239
Sting. Sting goes out there,
he does some stupid shit. I don't

864
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:10.800
think that's Tony kh telling him to
do that. Now, Tony Khan could

865
01:03:10.880 --> 01:03:14.280
rain him in if he wanted to. There are times where I think Tony

866
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:16.840
kh should have a chat with him
and say, look, I understand you

867
01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:20.119
want to go out there and you
want to make a big impression on the

868
01:03:20.119 --> 01:03:23.320
fans, you want to do something
crazy, but just dial it back here.

869
01:03:23.320 --> 01:03:28.679
I don't want you dying on my
watch. But he has treated Sting

870
01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:32.440
with the reverence that you would expect
someone of his caliber to be treated with.

871
01:03:35.159 --> 01:03:37.239
And in WWE, he never really
had the chance to have that one

872
01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:40.920
last great run. It was cut
short by injury and it looked like his

873
01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:44.840
career was going to be over because
he was never going to be medically cleared

874
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:47.440
to come back. Five years right, five years, six years went by

875
01:03:47.519 --> 01:03:52.199
before he made his return. He
was just going to be cinematic matches and

876
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:57.199
we see what it turned into.
Tony Khan has treated Sting with great respect

877
01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:02.119
since he brought him into this company. He is undefeated in every single match

878
01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:04.679
that he has been in. A
lot of the matches that he has been

879
01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:09.480
in, he's gotten the winning fall. They've designed the matches in such a

880
01:04:09.559 --> 01:04:12.719
way to put Sting over and make
Sting look like a world beater and have

881
01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:16.480
him out out there, coming out
on top and getting the hero's reaction from

882
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:20.280
the crowd. They haven't buried him, they haven't made him sound and look

883
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:25.239
like an old man. Right.
We've seen legends treated that way in the

884
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:29.440
past, and wrestling he's done the
opposite with Sting. So I think that

885
01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:33.440
up to this point he's treated him
about as well as you could possibly expect

886
01:04:33.480 --> 01:04:38.039
him to be treated at his age. And I think that he will do

887
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:41.599
right by Sting in whatever he does
with him at Revolution, because it wouldn't

888
01:04:41.639 --> 01:04:45.199
make sense for him to do otherwise. If Sting goes to Revolution and he

889
01:04:45.280 --> 01:04:49.760
loses, it's because Sting wants to
lose. If he loses at that pay

890
01:04:49.800 --> 01:04:54.480
per view, I'm convinced it's because
he went to Tony Kahn and said,

891
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:58.840
I need to lose. It's the
right thing to do. This is how

892
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:00.400
I was brought up in the business. I'll want to do business on the

893
01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:04.079
way out and put somebody out.
Even though I think he should win,

894
01:05:04.760 --> 01:05:10.119
I just think in this case it'll
make for the better moment if he goes

895
01:05:10.159 --> 01:05:14.360
out a winner, and I think
Tony Khan wants him to retire undefeated.

896
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:17.760
Why not let him retire is one
half of the tag team champions and go

897
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:23.960
out a champion. You know Tony
Khan, he he's a wrestling fan.

898
01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:26.400
He's a Mark, you know,
call him whatever you want to, super

899
01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:30.519
Mark. But the bottom line is
he's going to do right by Sting.

900
01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:33.679
I have faith that he will do
right by Sting in the end, whoever

901
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:38.079
the opponent is, whatever the story
is, whatever the situation is, because

902
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:42.639
up to this point, that's what
he has done with Sting. There's no

903
01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:45.760
reason to think that in these last
two months it's going to be done any

904
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:49.320
differently. So before everybody freaks out
about the young Bucks being of the opponents,

905
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:53.440
let's see if they are, and
let's see if they can work the

906
01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.639
tag Belts into this situation. I'm
hoping they do, so I think that'll

907
01:05:56.679 --> 01:06:00.440
be the better story. But that
was your Dynamite show tonight, not the

908
01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:03.960
best Dynamite. I didn't hate it
again. I liked the hangman match that

909
01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:09.280
opened the show with Claudio Joe out
there. They set up a few different

910
01:06:09.320 --> 01:06:14.159
things for Samoa Joe, including a
title match for him next week and the

911
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:17.880
main event was Madness. But other
than that, you know, again,

912
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:23.920
the two tag matches were just thrown
together for reasons that had to do with

913
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.199
being a tribute to Brody Lee,
which I understand. It was a one

914
01:06:27.239 --> 01:06:31.639
week thing, so that's why they
did that. We had a couple of

915
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:35.159
segments that were worked in there,
as far as the Tony Storms segment which

916
01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:40.199
I got a kick out of that
moves things along with her and Diana Parrazzo.

917
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:43.559
The Adam Cole thing was just I
mean again, it was a repeat

918
01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:45.280
of last week. You could just
go back and rewind and watch the segment

919
01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:47.639
from last week. I don't know
why we needed another one of those on

920
01:06:47.719 --> 01:06:51.440
this show, but that was dynamite. Here from Daily's place, they're big

921
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:59.079
homecoming show back in Jacksonville. Here
is the yes by the way, Yes,

922
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:01.960
okay, So we have some people
who came in late who maybe didn't

923
01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:06.280
know that I acknowledged it, but
I will acknowledge again. Mister Brandon Delgado

924
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:13.360
ol reacincn here from the live chat. He got some prime real estate for

925
01:07:13.400 --> 01:07:15.320
that solo monster sign on the show
to I mean, don't get no bigger

926
01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:18.880
than that. There it is,
right there, Brandon, thank you very

927
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:21.679
much. I don't know if he's
with us. He might actually be watching

928
01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:26.320
right now, but there you go. It's funny. We were just talking

929
01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:30.679
about this the other night because we
had a solo Monster sign at the show

930
01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:34.920
we had. Paul Hamilton was in
Portland on Monday night for Raw and he

931
01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:39.480
had that solemn Monster banner. Even
though they were stealing people's signs away from

932
01:07:39.519 --> 01:07:42.679
them, he was smart enough to
sneak in something other than a sign,

933
01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:45.920
and he was in the front row
representing the podcast. Like I told you,

934
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:48.159
guys, man, you do that, you let me know. I

935
01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:50.159
get a picture of it. Man, I'll put it up here for you.

936
01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:56.599
I'll let the world know. So
Brandon, thank you very much.

937
01:07:56.679 --> 01:08:00.280
That's gonna go. It's gonna go
into my safe folder right there. That's

938
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:02.440
where that's going. That might that
might be one of the best ones yet.

939
01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:06.440
I think we might have. We
might have a fan or two on

940
01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:12.719
that aw production team. I was
only joking earlier when I made the Kevin

941
01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:17.399
duncrag. I love Mike Man Suri. I'm just joking. Uh Dynamite from

942
01:08:17.479 --> 01:08:25.199
Daily's place. Here's the Twitter poll
fifty five percent thumbs up forty five percent

943
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:28.960
thumbs down. Yeah, that's not
great. That's not a great score.

944
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:34.119
Not the best episode of Dynamite tonight. There's a little bit of a I

945
01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:36.880
do like Daily's Place, though as
a venue, I do. I do

946
01:08:38.039 --> 01:08:42.760
like the shows from Daily's Place,
not every week. I wouldn't want to

947
01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:46.960
go back to that, but it
is a nice location to have a wrestling

948
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:51.760
show. It's an intimate venue,
but it's not a tiny venue. I

949
01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:57.279
think it fits like five thousand people, so it's not like a small venue.

950
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:03.159
The army is strong, man,
we got we got soldiers all over

951
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:06.000
the country. I got soldiers all
over the world. Don't forget our boy

952
01:09:06.039 --> 01:09:14.319
Fuas over in Saudi Arabia. Man, he's always representing the podcast. But

953
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:18.319
what was the cage match rating of
the show? I don't know. I'm

954
01:09:18.319 --> 01:09:23.039
sure Tony Connell bey on cage Match
later tonight to find out. I haven't

955
01:09:23.079 --> 01:09:25.399
chats, so I don't know.
I don't know what the cage match rating

956
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:30.880
is going to be for tonight's show. And we'll get into that whole situation

957
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:36.359
on Sunday. Let's get to your
super chats here, mister give me backshots

958
01:09:36.359 --> 01:09:43.199
over here, look at this GMB
small sample size with thoughts on Oba Femi.

959
01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:47.399
He's big. I could say that
I know Oba Femi. By the

960
01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:53.279
way, he is the new NXT
North American Champion beat dragon Ly. He

961
01:09:53.399 --> 01:10:00.960
cashed in his contract after Dragonly beat
Brian Pillman Junior on Tuesday, who won

962
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:05.520
the Men's Breakout Tournament, cashed in
his title opportunity on dragon Lee, and

963
01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:11.880
he is the new NXT North American
Champion. What I've seen of him,

964
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:15.239
he's a big guy, which means
he's gonna get a lot of chances and

965
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:20.079
a lot of opportunities to thrive in
that company. He seems like he's on

966
01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:23.800
his way. You know. Again, he's still very green, he's still

967
01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:29.880
very inexperienced, But I think there's
a monster there waiting to break out.

968
01:10:30.199 --> 01:10:35.800
Dan says, gave Aw a shot
tonight. I almost fell asleep. Yeah,

969
01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:40.079
if you were giving Aw a shot
tonight, this was not the show

970
01:10:40.159 --> 01:10:48.279
to bank everything on Red Emissary of
Darkness Things final match being the Young Bucks

971
01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:59.960
is embarrassing. Nick Grosso with the
nine to ninety nine says Adam Calls sat

972
01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:01.880
in the ring and cut the same
promo he cut last week. This is

973
01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:05.119
gonna get old very fast. But
that's what happens when the two most important

974
01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:11.039
people in the angle aren't out.
That's the risk you run. You know.

975
01:11:11.079 --> 01:11:14.039
The MJF thing is something that just
look, if he's hurt, he

976
01:11:14.119 --> 01:11:16.159
has to get those injuries addressed.
They've been doing the Devil angle now for

977
01:11:16.279 --> 01:11:21.720
months Adam Cole, though they knew
the severity of his injuries at the time

978
01:11:21.760 --> 01:11:26.199
that had happened. You know,
a lot of people thought it was all

979
01:11:26.279 --> 01:11:29.520
just the work. Oh he's not
that hurt, or he's not hurt at

980
01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:31.239
all, he'll be the devil.
Well he was the devil, but he's

981
01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:36.319
hurt and so as severe as his
injuries were, he had double ankle Shert

982
01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:42.479
said, it's the worst injury of
his career. I mean, for all

983
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:45.439
we know, he could be out
for up to a year. And that

984
01:11:45.560 --> 01:11:48.159
was my whole thing about Adam Cole
being revealed as the devil. If that

985
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:53.159
was the direction they were going to
go in, is that can you possibly

986
01:11:53.319 --> 01:11:56.720
keep this interesting for that long until
he's ready to get back in the ring.

987
01:11:56.760 --> 01:11:59.199
And I didn't think they could.
Well, they're going to have to

988
01:11:59.239 --> 01:12:01.960
try because he's not gonna be back
in the ring for a very long time,

989
01:12:01.960 --> 01:12:08.840
and then they lost MJF, which
only makes it worse. That's the

990
01:12:08.920 --> 01:12:12.039
decision they made when they chose Adam
Call to be the devil in this angle.

991
01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:15.319
They're gonna have to find other ways
to make this interesting. They're gonna

992
01:12:15.359 --> 01:12:20.000
have to use Roddy and Wardlow,
and you know they're gonna have to feud

993
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:25.920
with other people, whether it be
Hangman Page or Darby Allen at some point,

994
01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:28.479
because Darby's gonna need stuff to do
after well, I mean, I

995
01:12:28.479 --> 01:12:30.159
guess after revolution he might be climbing
a mountain. I guess if he does

996
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:35.159
Mount Everest. But that's the problem. You know, when you build an

997
01:12:35.279 --> 01:12:41.199
entire angle around somebody that you knew
going back to September was just completely fucked,

998
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:45.479
and they went forward with it anyway. They had to do the Devil

999
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:48.039
reveal at World's end. They dragged
that out any longer people were gonna completely

1000
01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:51.960
give up on the angle. Put
this guy Evey, what's he gonna do?

1001
01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:55.960
Is he gonna hobble out to the
ring every week? I mean for

1002
01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:58.279
a month or two, that's fine, but you get to month, three,

1003
01:12:58.399 --> 01:13:01.119
month, four month, five,
Yeah, I would say that's gonna

1004
01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:08.680
get old pretty fast. Jimmy White
says, I'm starting to think that it's

1005
01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:14.479
more and more likely that Sasha Banks
is Rumble bound after tonight's episode. I've

1006
01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:16.920
been telling you guys, I just
you know, I've had that feeling for

1007
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:21.640
a while that it's Rumble season.
And they sprang the CM Punk's surprise on

1008
01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:25.760
us in November, and I think
Sasha in the Rumble it just fits too

1009
01:13:25.800 --> 01:13:30.039
well. I mean, there are
people who swear that she's as good as

1010
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:35.000
if she isn't already signed, she's
as good as signed with AW But until

1011
01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:38.560
I see it with my own eyes, I'm gonna be waiting for that Royal

1012
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:44.960
Rumble. I just have a feeling
she's gonna pop up there. She's been

1013
01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:46.479
doing a lot of teasing on her
social media, by the way. She's

1014
01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:51.479
always posting photos that she posted a
photo earlier from an airport might have been

1015
01:13:51.479 --> 01:13:57.920
the airport in Jacksonville. Who knows
how old the photo is. She's stringing

1016
01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:02.000
people along, she's playing with people, She's toying with their emotions on social

1017
01:14:02.039 --> 01:14:10.560
media. Lady fire Panda with a
twenty dollars super chat Fire Panda, thank

1018
01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:13.960
you very much. Mercedes shows up
at the Rumble, and then we get

1019
01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:19.239
Mercedes against Kyrie Saane at WrestleMania,
and we get Bailey against EO at Mania

1020
01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:21.840
for the title. I also think
if Charlotte did not get hurt, we

1021
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:33.119
would have had a four horsewomen against
Damage Control at Elimination Chamber. Well,

1022
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:38.760
I guess we'll never know, will
we I guess we'll never know, Phenomenal

1023
01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:43.600
Beard with the nine to ninety nine. Tomorrow is my birthday and I was

1024
01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:46.000
in a car accident Thursday and I
have been in the hospital since Sunday getting

1025
01:14:46.039 --> 01:14:50.520
treated for ulcer stemming from gastric bypass
I had eight years ago. Your content

1026
01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:55.800
has helped me through a rough Weey, that's that's a pretty rough week.

1027
01:14:56.399 --> 01:15:01.159
Hopefully everything is okay as far as
the car accident goes. Hopefully nothing too

1028
01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:05.640
serious that sucks. Phenomenal Beard,
I'm sorry to hear that. Man.

1029
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:10.399
Get well soon. Keep me posting, keep me posted on your progress.

1030
01:15:10.439 --> 01:15:15.000
I want to make sure that everything
is going okay. That is a rough

1031
01:15:15.039 --> 01:15:18.119
week, Chris AXC. Have we
gotten to the point where aw no longer

1032
01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:23.239
needs the Elite? Also, do
you think Tony Kahan has booked Ricky poorly

1033
01:15:23.319 --> 01:15:29.119
because he knows he is on his
way to WWE asap. I mean,

1034
01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:32.800
look, Ricky Starks is one half
of the Tag Team Champions now if he

1035
01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:39.199
loses the titles on Saturday, yeah, I mean that I could see that,

1036
01:15:39.399 --> 01:15:42.199
or maybe he feels that way,
and you know, he gets the

1037
01:15:42.239 --> 01:15:44.960
belts off of him and Big Bill. The thing is, I don't know

1038
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:47.239
when Ricky's contract is up. I
don't know if it's I don't even know

1039
01:15:47.239 --> 01:15:51.439
if it's this year. I think
it might be, but I don't know.

1040
01:15:53.439 --> 01:15:57.039
I'm one of the people who believes
that Ricky Starks is WWE belt when

1041
01:15:57.079 --> 01:16:01.720
his contract is up. That's just
what I believe. I've not been told

1042
01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:05.399
that by anybody. I don't have
any inside information on Ricky's contract. I'm

1043
01:16:05.399 --> 01:16:11.000
just saying it feels to me.
I think he's wwebunt once he's free,

1044
01:16:11.880 --> 01:16:15.039
because even though he is one half
of the Tag Champs, I feel like

1045
01:16:15.159 --> 01:16:17.800
this is a guy who probably is
frustrated that he's not doing more on the

1046
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.680
show. And it felt like he
was going in that direction when he was

1047
01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:27.399
working with Cmpunk and then it just
didn't go that way, even before Punk

1048
01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:33.279
had his meltdown, And now he's
in a role that I don't know how

1049
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:39.039
happy he is and the role that
he's in. As far as does AW

1050
01:16:39.199 --> 01:16:44.960
no longer need the elite, AW
does not need the Elite. I think

1051
01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:46.239
that if they would have lost the
Elite, it would have been a big

1052
01:16:46.279 --> 01:16:50.159
blow to them, because you do
have I mean, if you say elite,

1053
01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:54.560
if you're counting Hangman in that,
you know, to lose the Bucks,

1054
01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:57.680
Hangman and Omega all at once,
yes, that would have been a

1055
01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:02.119
huge blow to the company. Do
they need the Elite if all the members

1056
01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:05.239
of the Elite went away tomorrow because
they were all on the injured list and

1057
01:17:05.279 --> 01:17:08.800
they were gonna be gone for a
year, So they didn't have Omega,

1058
01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:13.159
they didn't have the Bucks, they
didn't have Hangman Page what AW wilt like

1059
01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:16.239
a flower? No, because they
built up that roster enough. It's like

1060
01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:18.880
MJF. If he has to take
time off, they're gonna be okay.

1061
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:23.560
With Adham. It's gonna be a
blow to the Adam Cole storyline, but

1062
01:17:24.000 --> 01:17:28.199
they have enough talent to sustain themselves. And then it's all about Tony Kahn

1063
01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:30.760
trying to come up with compelling stories
with the talent that he has. But

1064
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:35.159
he's got a surplus of talent.
AW does not need the elite. The

1065
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:40.359
elite is what helped get that company
off the ground. The elite and Jericho

1066
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:45.479
and Moxley coming in collectively, they're
the ones that help build AW from the

1067
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:50.199
ground up. But we're five years
in. The Young Bucks, like I

1068
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:55.199
said, have never felt colder and
lead and less important than they do right

1069
01:17:55.239 --> 01:17:58.840
now in the history of this company. If the Young Bucks did not come

1070
01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:00.159
back tonight, and they came back
in six months, I'm not sure most

1071
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:04.960
people would have noticed. They're at
a point now where they don't need the

1072
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:11.319
elite. The elite can contribute,
but they are not needed to the survival

1073
01:18:11.359 --> 01:18:15.760
of this company. Brought him his
prime. Shout out to the guy with

1074
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:23.000
the sign on Dynamite solom Monster Babe, that would be Brandon. Yes,

1075
01:18:24.479 --> 01:18:28.760
Yes, indeed, shout out to
Brandon. Brandon earned himself a place in

1076
01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:32.319
sound Off history with that sign.
Bobly. I mean it was a combination

1077
01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:39.800
of the sign and just the the
production team and just getting that perfect shot,

1078
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:43.279
but Brandon earned himself a spot in
history with that sign. Tonight,

1079
01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:47.319
Chris Axc stinging Darby against the Bucks
to send off No. One asked for

1080
01:18:53.319 --> 01:19:00.279
no cap Samoa Joe dead a strong
run with the strap. I give up

1081
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:03.279
on Wardlow. Men was set to
be the next Baptiste. He's another henchman,

1082
01:19:03.479 --> 01:19:10.760
killed his momentum. Well before you're
right off Wardlow completely. Let's see

1083
01:19:10.800 --> 01:19:16.079
where this Undisputed Kingdom storyline goes,
because this storyline is designed to try to

1084
01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:23.760
get Wardlow back to where he was. It's like MJF and FTR and Sean

1085
01:19:23.880 --> 01:19:30.720
Spears and Wardlow and their faction the
Pinnacle, and the whole thing with MJF

1086
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:32.840
and Wardlow is to eventually get him
to a place where the people wanted to

1087
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:40.039
see him break free, and when
it happened, they were fully behind him

1088
01:19:40.199 --> 01:19:43.760
until Tony Khan cooled him off.
But he completely fucked up Wardline. Now

1089
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:45.640
he's got to build him back up
again. He's following the same blueprint he's

1090
01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:48.079
putting him in this faction, and
we know where things are going, we

1091
01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:51.760
know where it's headed, we know
there's going to be trouble in Paradise down

1092
01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:56.199
the road. The hope, if
you're Tony Kahan, the hope is that

1093
01:19:56.239 --> 01:19:59.600
people will react to Wardlow in the
same way they did all those years ago.

1094
01:20:00.039 --> 01:20:02.000
I don't know if they will or
not. For his sake, I

1095
01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:05.920
hope they do. Wardlow didn't do
anything wrong. It's not his fault that

1096
01:20:06.159 --> 01:20:12.159
Tony screwed the pooch with him.
I don't blame Wardlow for that. But

1097
01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:18.000
this entire angle here is designed in
part to eventually get Wardlobe back as a

1098
01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:23.760
top babyface in this company. I
believe that, so I wouldn't write him

1099
01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:28.479
off just yet. Let's see how
this angle goes. If this doesn't work,

1100
01:20:28.520 --> 01:20:31.680
though, I'm not really sure what
else could do with him in AW

1101
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:38.239
it might be time for him,
frankly, to go somewhere else and maybe

1102
01:20:38.279 --> 01:20:43.119
get a second chance there. If
this doesn't work. Chris Miner with the

1103
01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:45.880
twelve dollars super chat, how will
your be? The booker matches due on

1104
01:20:46.039 --> 01:20:50.359
Cage Match. Last night's Twitter exchange
between everyone was hilarious. Also, thoughts

1105
01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:57.239
on the Oba Femei cash in on
NXT. I did see it. I

1106
01:20:57.279 --> 01:21:01.399
have not been following NXT week to
week since the end of December really the

1107
01:21:01.479 --> 01:21:04.960
last probably a month or so.
I'm behind on a lot of stuff,

1108
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:10.399
but I did see that, and
you know, look, they had to

1109
01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:13.520
get the belt out Dragon le dragon
Ly's on the main roster and there's no

1110
01:21:13.560 --> 01:21:16.279
reason for him to have that title. He was a stand in for someone

1111
01:21:16.319 --> 01:21:23.720
that. Remember there were plans that
Shawn Michaels had even in September when they

1112
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:28.600
fired Ali that got screwed up.
When they fired him, they put the

1113
01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:31.439
belt on Trick Williams. Then they
put it right back on Dominic and then

1114
01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:34.880
Wes Lee was going to challenge for
it a deadline and he has a broken

1115
01:21:34.960 --> 01:21:40.640
back. He's back surgery. Dragon
Lee was not meant to be the North

1116
01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:45.279
American Champion. It was just a
temporary stopgap thing until they figured out what

1117
01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:47.760
their Plan B was going to be. Their Plan B turned out to be

1118
01:21:47.880 --> 01:21:51.880
Obafemi, so they had to get
the belt out Dragonly. They're going to

1119
01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:56.760
try it with a young guy.
I think that's great. We'll see if

1120
01:21:56.760 --> 01:22:01.199
he takes off. He won the
Breakout Tournament. They obviously have big plans

1121
01:22:01.199 --> 01:22:05.520
for him. Well, here's his
chance to show the world what he can

1122
01:22:05.560 --> 01:22:13.920
do. But dragon Lee is a
main roster guy. We've had enough main

1123
01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:17.479
roster talents holding NXT titles over the
past year. I don't know how much

1124
01:22:17.520 --> 01:22:21.520
longer that can continue. For there's
no reason for Dragon Lee to run around

1125
01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:29.680
with the North American title boomerang.
Bigger fail for Tony Kahn this week watching

1126
01:22:29.720 --> 01:22:34.279
the Jaguars choke against the Titans,
or his Twitter meltdown, I'd say the

1127
01:22:34.359 --> 01:22:39.399
Jaguars. There was a tweet I
saw. There was a tweet going around

1128
01:22:39.399 --> 01:22:45.239
from December from the official Jaguars Twitter
account where they were advertising playoff tickets going

1129
01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:49.399
on sale. And so as soon
as they lost, everybody went back to

1130
01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:59.439
that tweet and said all kinds of
comments underneath, welp, oops, how

1131
01:22:59.439 --> 01:23:04.399
do I get a refund? That's
pretty embarrassing. That's pretty embarrassing. And

1132
01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:08.119
I say that as a Mets fan. Okay, so we've been through our

1133
01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:10.800
share of that in the past,
where you think they're going to go to

1134
01:23:10.800 --> 01:23:15.560
the playoffs. They're talking about selling
playoff tickets, all right, playoff Baseball

1135
01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:23.239
in New York, and then the
inevitable meltdown happens. Magician Sapphire, at

1136
01:23:23.239 --> 01:23:27.920
this point, the Jericho allegations are
not going away anytime soon. As a

1137
01:23:27.960 --> 01:23:30.520
PR expert, what advice would you
give Jericho an aw to put this to

1138
01:23:30.640 --> 01:23:35.800
bet? If he is innocent of
any wrongdoing, how can he prove it?

1139
01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:42.640
All I can say is this on
that subject, and I said this

1140
01:23:42.840 --> 01:23:45.479
after the scrum. At World's End, there were a couple of people who

1141
01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:51.079
asked Tony Kahn about the whole situation, and there was somebody from Sports Illustrated

1142
01:23:51.079 --> 01:23:59.760
who asked him point blank, has
Chris Jericho ever been investigated while working for

1143
01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:06.479
a for any kind of sexual miscontent? And instead of giving a straight answer,

1144
01:24:08.439 --> 01:24:11.880
a definitive yes or no answer,
Tony Kahn danced and dodged and did

1145
01:24:11.880 --> 01:24:15.560
not answer the question. And he
simply made the comment, the now infamous

1146
01:24:15.560 --> 01:24:19.239
comment about how AW is the safest
wrestling company in the entire world. And

1147
01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:24.359
people, of course mocked him for
that, because here's a guy who only

1148
01:24:24.359 --> 01:24:27.359
a few months ago went on television
in front of the world and claimed that

1149
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:31.840
he felt his life was threatened.
But that wasn't an answer to the question.

1150
01:24:32.720 --> 01:24:36.600
It turned into a whole other kind
of answer and he tap danced around

1151
01:24:36.640 --> 01:24:40.520
it. And so the pr guy
in me cringes when I see that,

1152
01:24:41.760 --> 01:24:46.159
because there are just certain situations where
unless there is a really good legal reason

1153
01:24:46.279 --> 01:24:50.520
not and maybe there's a legal reason
why he just didn't want to jump into

1154
01:24:50.560 --> 01:24:57.520
that feat first. But to me, if it's all unfounded internet rumors,

1155
01:24:57.560 --> 01:24:59.920
which is the one comment that he
did make. He said, I'm not

1156
01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:04.880
going to indulge what was the word
unconfirmed or whatever, internet rumors or whatever,

1157
01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:09.680
if there's no truth to it and
it's just a bunch of bs.

1158
01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:14.520
It was a very straightforward question because
nobody asked about Kylie Ray specifically, nobody

1159
01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:18.079
named names in that press scrumb They
simply asked, has Jericho ever been investigated

1160
01:25:18.439 --> 01:25:25.399
for misconduct? And the fact that
he couldn't even give a no, all

1161
01:25:25.439 --> 01:25:30.159
that did was make people even more
suspicious about the entire situation. Now,

1162
01:25:30.199 --> 01:25:34.079
if Jericho is innocent and didn't do
anything, that's not doing a service to

1163
01:25:34.600 --> 01:25:38.479
Jericho. It's only making him look
even more guilty, like, oh,

1164
01:25:38.479 --> 01:25:42.399
well, my god, well,
what things must they be hiding that we

1165
01:25:42.479 --> 01:25:46.479
don't know about. It's doing a
disservice to him if in fact, nothing

1166
01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:53.600
happened. So that answer did not
help matters, And that's not the way

1167
01:25:53.640 --> 01:25:57.279
that I would have answered or advised
someone to answer a question like that.

1168
01:25:57.479 --> 01:26:00.680
But who knows what kind of legal
issues may or may not be involved there.

1169
01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:04.039
I don't know, But that did
not do him any favors. I

1170
01:26:04.039 --> 01:26:09.560
would have just simply said, look, I'm gonna get questions about this.

1171
01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:15.880
There's no sense in naming names specifically. You don't have to get down in

1172
01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:19.720
the dirt like that or name people. But there's a statement that you can

1173
01:26:19.720 --> 01:26:25.079
make to make it very clear that
this is a company where we take things

1174
01:26:25.119 --> 01:26:28.960
like that very seriously. Right,
We're not blind to what people have been

1175
01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:30.920
saying. We've been seeing all the
stuff going on online and everything, and

1176
01:26:30.920 --> 01:26:36.159
we're not gonna indulge, you know, as far as specific names and incidents

1177
01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:41.520
or alleged incidents. Will say,
simply say this and then just give a

1178
01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:45.359
very straightforward answer to the question.
Sometimes all you have to do is tell

1179
01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:50.079
the truth. And when you don't
and you avoid the question and you evade,

1180
01:26:50.199 --> 01:26:56.800
all you do is arouse more suspicion. So it's not gonna go away.

1181
01:26:56.880 --> 01:27:00.000
The question is gonna linger. There's
gonna be this cloud hanging over them.

1182
01:27:00.399 --> 01:27:03.600
At some point, the fans may
just be you know, they may

1183
01:27:03.760 --> 01:27:08.119
wash away and they may start cheering
him again when the bell rings, but

1184
01:27:08.199 --> 01:27:11.640
you're right, for a while,
it's gonna be a situation where they have

1185
01:27:11.720 --> 01:27:14.520
to be worried now about what kind
of reaction. This guy's gonna get He's

1186
01:27:14.520 --> 01:27:16.560
supposed to be a babyface, and
now you don't know when he goes out

1187
01:27:16.560 --> 01:27:19.520
there, is he gonna get boot
Is he gonna get chance of NDA?

1188
01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:23.800
You know, how are the fans
gonna react? They're not just gonna forget

1189
01:27:23.800 --> 01:27:30.079
about it overnight. It's not just
gonna magically go away. But he handled

1190
01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:38.279
the situation, I thought in a
very poor way. So we have Daniel

1191
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:41.840
Brink thank you for the dollar ninety
nine Oofman Entertainment, and a J is

1192
01:27:41.880 --> 01:27:46.479
getting a TBS title show title shot. I think he means on Battle of

1193
01:27:46.479 --> 01:27:48.399
the bell Okay, so there you
go. Battle of the Bells, it's

1194
01:27:48.399 --> 01:27:55.119
official. And a J is getting
a title shot against Julia Hart. So

1195
01:27:55.159 --> 01:27:59.119
at least something came out of that
eight woman ten. At least something came

1196
01:27:59.159 --> 01:28:02.239
out of that man bender. Mc
simpson solo, I respectfully disagree. I

1197
01:28:02.279 --> 01:28:05.560
think Sting and Darby against the Bucks
would be a great sendoff for Sting.

1198
01:28:05.600 --> 01:28:13.239
Well, you're certainly entitled to have
that opinion. I mean, look,

1199
01:28:13.279 --> 01:28:15.520
I don't hate it the way that
some people are gonna just hate it with

1200
01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:19.479
every fiber of their being. It
just doesn't do anything for me unless you

1201
01:28:19.560 --> 01:28:26.000
put some kind of steaks on that
match, some kind of stipulation the titles.

1202
01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:29.439
There has to be something involved if
you just need the bucks against Sting

1203
01:28:29.479 --> 01:28:32.680
and Darby. I mean, look, they got seven was it seven weeks?

1204
01:28:32.840 --> 01:28:39.000
Seven or eight weeks? Seven weeks? They have seven weeks to convince

1205
01:28:39.039 --> 01:28:45.000
me that I'm wrong and that I
should be interested in this match. We'll

1206
01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:50.319
see if Tony Khan can do it. Jose Hitch just now leaving Daily's Greatest

1207
01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:55.920
Show and good crowd props to those
men and women's wrestling in below fifty degree

1208
01:28:55.960 --> 01:29:00.079
weather. Yeah again, it was
colder than you would expect in Florida tonight.

1209
01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:05.920
I didn't know exactly what the temperature
was. But unless they had like

1210
01:29:05.920 --> 01:29:10.279
like heaters around ringside, which I
think they do for some of the WrestleManias,

1211
01:29:10.359 --> 01:29:14.399
especially when they're in the Northeast outdoors, unless they had something like that,

1212
01:29:14.520 --> 01:29:18.920
it probably wasn't too fun to be
wrestling out there. Justin g If

1213
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:24.119
I just got one percent of what
Danielson's going to take in from Fines this

1214
01:29:24.199 --> 01:29:30.520
week, I could retire to Europe. Thank you. Solom Monster. He's

1215
01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:31.920
like a meter maid man, Those
meter maids I don't know how it is

1216
01:29:31.960 --> 01:29:34.960
in other places, but here in
New York they are vicious. They don't

1217
01:29:35.000 --> 01:29:40.000
they don't give a shit. They
don't care. They will ticket you.

1218
01:29:40.199 --> 01:29:44.319
They don't care who you are.
They will ticket the cops. There are

1219
01:29:44.399 --> 01:29:47.239
cops that have come outside to find
their car with a ticket on the windshield.

1220
01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:50.359
These meter maids, they have to
hit their quota and they don't care.

1221
01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:55.560
Brian Danielson's like a meter maid man. He's like he's writing those he's

1222
01:29:55.560 --> 01:29:59.119
writing those fines. He's sticking them
in their bags, He's sticking them in

1223
01:29:59.159 --> 01:30:06.359
their mailboxes. He's gonna he's gonna
make bank for that company in those FINESH

1224
01:30:06.399 --> 01:30:14.680
says Malachi Wardlow Ricky counting down their
days. What was it the statistic in

1225
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:19.159
twenty twenty three, not one singles
match for Malachi Black, I believe,

1226
01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:27.880
not one. Unbelievable. He also
says, I know he's getting a huge

1227
01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:30.720
push right now. But do you
see Adam Cole wanting to work under Triple

1228
01:30:30.880 --> 01:30:34.199
H or do you see him stay
NXT. Adam Cole was one of a

1229
01:30:34.279 --> 01:30:39.479
kind. I don't think that Adam
Cole is one of those people who's in

1230
01:30:39.479 --> 01:30:42.560
a rush to leave, especially because
he gets to work with Britt. You

1231
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:45.119
know, Britt works for the same
company. They get to travel together.

1232
01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:48.039
I don't think you can minimize that. I think that's something that's probably very

1233
01:30:48.039 --> 01:30:53.720
important to him, and they've treated
him very well. Why would he want

1234
01:30:53.720 --> 01:30:58.159
to leave. He's in a great
position right now. He's he's positioned as

1235
01:30:58.199 --> 01:31:00.399
one of the top heels, He's
got his own faction. I'm sure the

1236
01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:03.720
company is taking good care of him
as he convalesces from his injury. He

1237
01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:08.039
got to be in the main event
at Wembley Stadium in front of seventy five

1238
01:31:08.079 --> 01:31:14.720
thousand people against MJF. I mean
there are people in that company who I

1239
01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:16.399
could see having a reason to want
to leave. I don't think Adam Cole

1240
01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:23.079
is one of those people. Rizzo. The funniest comment I saw about the

1241
01:31:23.159 --> 01:31:27.239
Jags tweet was someone saying, I
bought ten tickets. When is the playoff

1242
01:31:27.279 --> 01:31:30.760
schedule getting released? Yeah? And
then I saw the comments who wants to

1243
01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:36.199
be the one to tell that guy? Who wants to tell him? Barry

1244
01:31:36.319 --> 01:31:42.399
MK? What's a theme song that
sounds good but has some really odd lyrics?

1245
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:50.000
Billy Kidman's song. Billy Kidman's WWE
theme song is a banging theme and

1246
01:31:50.039 --> 01:31:57.239
then you listen to the lyrics and
yeah, I don't know about that.

1247
01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:00.640
I don't know about that, but
it's a great song if you just listen

1248
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:05.880
to it to beat. I love
it. I think it's great. Never

1249
01:32:05.920 --> 01:32:09.600
paid too much attention to the lyrics
though. When I did, I said,

1250
01:32:09.640 --> 01:32:16.920
huh, that's kind of interesting.
The goal for being the booker tonight

1251
01:32:17.199 --> 01:32:23.479
was four hundred likes. We were
at four twenty eight, so we've officially

1252
01:32:24.279 --> 01:32:27.319
surpassed our goal for the night.
I thank you for that. So let's

1253
01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:30.840
get to it. Let's go ahead
and be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen,

1254
01:32:30.199 --> 01:32:35.119
it is now time to be the
booker. Hey, look at that,

1255
01:32:35.439 --> 01:32:40.119
and you all thought Mercedes wasn't going
to show up on Dynamite tonight.

1256
01:32:40.119 --> 01:32:47.000
There she is. Mercedes Money might
not have been on TBS, but she's

1257
01:32:47.000 --> 01:32:53.239
on this stream here tonight. Maybe
we'll pick her tonight and be the booker.

1258
01:32:54.039 --> 01:32:57.000
You know, AW is doing their
own Battle of the Belt special on

1259
01:32:57.079 --> 01:32:59.199
Saturday. How about we do our
own. We're gonna do it. We're

1260
01:32:59.199 --> 01:33:00.840
gonna book our own Beat of the
Belts right now here and be the booker.

1261
01:33:01.000 --> 01:33:06.159
All title matches, all title matches, and we're going to start things

1262
01:33:06.199 --> 01:33:12.199
out here. Wow, what a
team this is. You know, I

1263
01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:17.319
have no memory of this even being
a thing in the latter years of WCW.

1264
01:33:18.359 --> 01:33:27.039
But apparently the Great Muda and Vampiro
were the WCW Tag Team champions.

1265
01:33:28.600 --> 01:33:31.760
No memory of this, but the
photo doesn't lie. Apparently it happened.

1266
01:33:32.960 --> 01:33:45.039
Vampiro and the Great Muta are going
to be defending those titles against another pair

1267
01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:53.119
of former WCW Tag Team champions,
Brett Hart and Bill Goldberg. I'm gonna

1268
01:33:53.159 --> 01:33:56.600
give that the bell because we get
Muda and Brett Hart in the ring together,

1269
01:33:56.920 --> 01:34:00.039
and I can't give that the buzzer. I think Muda and Brett Hard

1270
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:04.800
in the ring, that alone is
worth the bell. Plus, if Brett

1271
01:34:04.880 --> 01:34:12.039
is teaming with Goldberg and he's not
wrestling Goldberg, then he's safe. He's

1272
01:34:12.039 --> 01:34:15.039
safer than he would be if they
were on opposite sides of the ring.

1273
01:34:15.079 --> 01:34:19.199
See, it's smart for Brett to
have Goldberg on his side. So that

1274
01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:24.560
gets the bell. And again,
I have no memory of this. I

1275
01:34:24.560 --> 01:34:27.359
have no memory of them being the
tag tea. I know they were,

1276
01:34:27.479 --> 01:34:30.880
but I couldn't tell you how they
won the belt. Who they lost them

1277
01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:38.920
to? They beat for him.
I haven't got the faintest idea can they

1278
01:34:38.960 --> 01:34:44.920
coexist? Maybe not for too long? All right, So that's one title

1279
01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:48.920
match down. I'll let you I'll
let you guys decide who wins that one.

1280
01:34:51.840 --> 01:34:55.720
Yeah, Sae, that's a match. Roderick says, that's a match.

1281
01:34:55.760 --> 01:34:59.319
I never knew. I wanted Brett
against Muda. Although Brett and Tiger

1282
01:34:59.359 --> 01:35:00.960
Mass didn't they have a great match. You would think that would be like

1283
01:35:01.000 --> 01:35:04.800
an all timer. They wrestled in
nineteen ninety. It wasn't that good.

1284
01:35:05.399 --> 01:35:08.960
All Right, here we go,
Women's be the booker. Let's book ourselves

1285
01:35:09.000 --> 01:35:14.960
a title match, and we're gonna
begin with okay, all right, Marina

1286
01:35:15.039 --> 01:35:26.239
Shaffir. Marina Shaffir, Well,
huh, Marina Shaffir one on one with

1287
01:35:26.600 --> 01:35:33.319
Tessa Blanche. You know, I
was talking about Teddy Hart on the podcast

1288
01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:36.560
a few weeks ago. We were
talking about careers and people that have crashed

1289
01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:41.760
and burned. And I don't know
that there's been a bigger crash and burn

1290
01:35:42.960 --> 01:35:50.119
than Tessa Blanche. Men's be the
booker. We're gonna book ourselves a World

1291
01:35:50.359 --> 01:35:59.680
heavyweight championship match. Save us.
We need to be saved, and we

1292
01:35:59.760 --> 01:36:04.680
begin in this is not how I
wanted to be saved. The Mizz,

1293
01:36:06.159 --> 01:36:23.600
the Miz. The Miz is going
to defend the WWE Championship. I don't

1294
01:36:23.600 --> 01:36:30.880
even know that it matters, but
the Miz will defend against Nick Jackson.

1295
01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:43.840
And I just got done talking about
how the young Bucks have never been colder

1296
01:36:45.399 --> 01:36:51.800
in their career and we end up
with Nick Jackson wrestling the Miz for the

1297
01:36:51.920 --> 01:37:01.720
WWE Championship. Well, that right
there is what you call a fail.

1298
01:37:03.039 --> 01:37:09.560
That's what that is. We tried, we failed, We went one for

1299
01:37:09.680 --> 01:37:15.279
three. Take your Brett and Moudha
and enjoy it because that's about as good

1300
01:37:15.319 --> 01:37:21.600
as it gets. And I will
see you and everybody else back here on

1301
01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:27.760
Friday night for the SmackDown stream.
Until then, be well, stay safe.

1302
01:37:27.920 --> 01:37:29.359
I'll see you guys on Friday night.
