00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:08.160
Tonight was the Winter Is Coming edition
of AW Dynamite for Wednesday, December thirteen,

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.240
twenty and twenty three. Usually we
have an AW World Championship match on

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:19.920
the Winter Is Coming episode, but
MJF is hurt, legit hurt, and

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.879
he obviously has a title defense coming
up on pay per view at the end

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.440
of the month we have a brand
new pay per view, so no title

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.399
match tonight. Instead, we had
not one, not two, not three,

7
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:37.240
four Continental Classic Tournament matches, three
from the Gold League, one from

8
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.960
the Blue League, which normally they
save for collision. Not that I'm complaining

9
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.840
about the match we got tonight between
Brody King and Andrede l Itelo, but

10
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.520
we did get four tournament matches,
And really, if you are not a

11
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.280
fan of the Continental Classic, you
are going to hate this episode of Dynamite.

12
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.960
If you are not a fan of
just the inn ring that the tournament

13
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.320
offers the great in ring action in
the absence maybe of some of the bigger

14
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.239
stories that you're looking for. There
was certainly a storyline development at the end

15
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.920
of the show, but this was
not the show for you if you are

16
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.959
not into this Continental Classic stuff.
If you are, then this was a

17
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.040
very good episode of Dynamite because up
and down the car we had nothing but

18
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.879
great pro wrestling matches from the opening
tournament match that we had on this show

19
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.280
right through until the main event.
The main event is the match I was

20
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.200
looking forward to all week long.
It was John Moxley and Swerve Strickland.

21
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:37.840
They came into tonight all knotted up
nine points apiece in the Gold League,

22
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.840
and I thought, for sure.
I said it last week. I said,

23
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.439
this is going to be our first
tie of the tournament, this is

24
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.239
gonna be our first twenty minute time
limit draw. I was convinced that they

25
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.680
were saving it for this match tonight, and we did not get a twenty

26
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.560
minute time limit draw. John Moxley
pinned Swerve Strickland. Now we had a

27
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:01.200
cheap to win, and Swerve's shoulder
was about five inches up off the mat.

28
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.959
So good job there, Paul Turner. But Moxley picks up the win

29
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.120
and the way that they did it, you know. Mosley looked into the

30
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.000
camera when the match was over and
said, whatever it takes, and they

31
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.599
lingered on Swerve for a while.
He was visually just pissed off. He

32
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.360
was very upset that he got screwed
over effectively, but they lingered on him

33
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.240
long enough where now I can kind
of see where I think where I hope

34
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.000
the story of this tournament is going
now, because Swerve next week on this

35
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:36.479
show is in a must win situation. Swerve can still get to the semi

36
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.840
finals, he can still go all
the way to the finals, but he

37
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.080
has to win. He's gonna be
wrestling Rooche next week. So as much

38
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.800
as I was looking forward to this
match tonight with him in Moxley, I

39
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.960
am very much looking forward to that
match next week. Even though Roush is

40
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.680
now mathematically eliminated from winning the tournament, he can play the role of spoiler

41
00:02:54.719 --> 00:03:00.039
here for Swerve next week. But
Swerve now has to win and then he

42
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.639
can make it all the way to
the semis and a possible rematch with John

43
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.479
Moxley, which is where I think
this is headed. So not the finish

44
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.960
that I was expecting, but I
do and I'm sure a lot of people

45
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.879
are going to be very upset that
Swerve lost, But I think that they're

46
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.159
telling a story here, right,
there's that word. I think they're telling

47
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.120
a story with him, and so
let's wait and see what they do in

48
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.680
the next couple of weeks, I
think we're going to get that rematch between

49
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.240
him and Moxley. But up and
down the card again. The Continental Classic

50
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.520
the one thing that you can always
rely on with these tournament matches, and

51
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.840
it really has not been any different
on Collision if you've been paying attention to

52
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.599
those matches with Eddie Kingston and Brody
king and Brian Danielson and Andrade and everybody

53
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.560
in the Blue League, and I
think the Blue League is more interesting as

54
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.879
far as you know the names that
are involved and the way the standings are.

55
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:59.919
But consistently between the two shows and
both leagues, this tournament has given

56
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:02.520
you what it promised. And Tony
Kaint even made the comment at the beginning

57
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.240
of all this, and he said, if you are a fan of professional

58
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.159
wrestling for the inn ring, if
you were a fan of pro wrestling,

59
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.000
for the wrestling, and what was
his exact quill because he went off.

60
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.680
I remember he made some kind of
comment I think about how you better fucking

61
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:18.920
watch or something like that, But
he's not wrong. I mean, if

62
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.639
you paid attention to the tournament so
far, the one thing that it has

63
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.839
given you consistently is excellent pro wrestling, and for some people that's not the

64
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.480
most important thing, but for a
lot of people it is. Right,

65
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.319
what a surprise. I know,
you watch wrestling, you want to see

66
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.360
good wrestling. That's the one thing
this tournament has consistently given us from the

67
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.480
very beginning, and it's going to
go straight through, I'm sure until the

68
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.439
finals and World's end, especially if
Brian Danielson is in that final match,

69
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.399
which I imagine he would be.
So I was a fan of tonight's show.

70
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.879
I could see though where some people
wouldn't be if this tournament is not

71
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.279
your thing. But we did have
a segment at the very end of the

72
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.399
show where Hangman Page was being beaten
up in the parking by the Devil's henchman,

73
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.759
and the Devil himself, we think, showed up and he gave the

74
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.319
high sign and the choke slam Hangman
Page onto the windshield of a car.

75
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:19.199
Real blasts, which of course means
we cannot disqualify the possibility. And I've

76
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.480
talked about him before that Jack Perry
could end up being revealed as the Devil.

77
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.800
There's gonna be multiple people who were
involved in this obviously, right,

78
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.639
He's got four or five different henchmen
every time we see him. Uh,

79
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.839
but you know you're gonna see you
see the glass, you see the spot

80
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.480
on the glass. We got that
spot in his last match at Wembley Stadium,

81
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.959
right we saw somebody get slammed on
top of the windshield of a car.

82
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.160
So make your short list of people
who you think the Devil may end

83
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.720
up being in. Jack Perry has
got to be near the top of the

84
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.000
list. He may not be at
the very top, but he's got to

85
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.920
be on the list. We don't
know who the devil is. One thing

86
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.639
that the segment did a com pomplish, though, was to show you that

87
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.160
it's not Hangman Page. And I
don't know that anybody honestly believed that it

88
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:11.639
was Hangman Page, but they basically
just told you tonight it ain't Hangman Page,

89
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.519
even though when they opened the show
they were teasing the possibility that it

90
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.600
was in. But it's not it
now. The one other thing here that

91
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.079
I wanted to mention at the top
is that they were in Dallas tonight or

92
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.439
Arlington. But they were in Dallas
and they were promoting the Von Erics.

93
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.600
We're going to be on the show
because the Iron Claw movie is coming out

94
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.600
in a couple of weeks, and
MJF was supposed to have a role in

95
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.839
the movie. I guess technically you
could say he still does, although apparently

96
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:41.639
his role is reduced to a passing
glance in a montage during the movie.

97
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.120
But no mention of the Iron Claw
on the show. We did get the

98
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.360
von Ericks in a very quick backstage
segment, and it was to set up

99
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:55.079
a match for Marshall and Ross Kevin's
kids on Rampage this Friday that they're taping

100
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.279
tonight, and that was it.
So if you tuned into the show to

101
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.199
see, Hey, what are the
von Erics going to do? Then,

102
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.879
now, boy, were you left
disappointed? You want to watch the von

103
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.240
Erks though you got to tune into
a Rampage on Friday, it's not really

104
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.839
all that enticing for me. I
think I'll pass. Although I am seeing

105
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.560
The Iron Claw. You'll see the
movie the day after Christmas, so i'd

106
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.040
like to say I'm looking forward to
it, but I know the story and

107
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:24.519
it's depressing as all hell. So
what I'm most interested in I'm interested to

108
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.879
see how many other people are in
the theater when I go, and I

109
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.000
would love to know how many people
who go to see this movie know the

110
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.399
story of the von Erks before they
go see it, because I would love

111
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:38.800
to look at the people who have
no idea about the von Erics story and

112
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.120
just not even watch the movie because
I know what's gonna happen. I would

113
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.800
rather sit there and watch them and
see their reaction. They walk and thinking,

114
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.000
Oh, this is gonna be like
a feel good holiday movie, and

115
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.079
then by the time it's over,
just the look of sheer, just horror

116
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.560
on their face. I'm sure it's
gonna be priceless. Anyway, that's coming

117
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.720
up in a few weeks, but
this is your dad, I might review

118
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.800
I Am the Solemn Monster. It
is December thirteenth. Winter is indeed coming

119
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.839
next week. It is officially winter, but not yet. Let's get into

120
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.120
this here. We got a cold
open for the show tonight, which was

121
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.360
a nice change of pace, bit
of a different way to open up Dynamite

122
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.160
with Samoa Joe in his street clothes
on his way down to the ring right

123
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.839
out of the gate, and Joe
told us that he has come here to

124
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.879
Texas looking for answers and he made
a promise to MJF a long time ago

125
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.679
that he would keep him whole until
he got him at world's end, where

126
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:41.679
he would become, in his words, the rightful aw world heavyweight champion.

127
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.879
But last week he was made into
a liar. Says he looked up at

128
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.960
the screen he saw MJF laid out
in the back, potentially jeopardizing his title

129
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.600
opportunity. Oh my god, it's
infecting this show now, title opportunity.

130
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.679
It's a title shot. It's a
title shot. He wants his title shot.

131
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.960
That's what he wants. When he
got to the back, though,

132
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:13.039
he said he saw a beer bottle
that a certain cowboy likes busted over Mjf's

133
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:20.039
head, And you mentioned the smell
of stetson and disappointment. And as he

134
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.440
walked around the building searching for that
cowboy, a certain Hangman was missing.

135
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.039
See I told you last week.
The whole point of that was to frame

136
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.240
Hangman as a potential devil possibility.
That was the whole purpose of the beer

137
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.559
bottle, And it led immediately into
the opening segment tonight. That brought Hangman

138
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.720
Adam Page down to the ring and
he told Joe that if there's something he

139
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.360
wants to accuse him of, just
say it. Like the man he thought

140
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.039
he was. And he said,
he doesn't care about the bromance. He

141
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.240
doesn't care about Laser Tag or any
of this stuff that we've seen MJF and

142
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.799
Adam Cole doing for months. He
doesn't care about the game of who done

143
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.440
it. Joe told him, maybe
he's already made up his mind. He

144
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.440
beam Joe, maybe he's already made
up his mind. And he only came

145
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.600
out here tonight not to be the
detective, but to be the executioner.

146
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.919
And Hangman told him to do something
about it. And right on, cue

147
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.799
Roderick Strong and the Kingdom walk out. Roddy kept yelling Samoa over and over

148
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:31.159
again. So I love how he
doesn't yell Joe. He yells Samoa over

149
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.240
and over again, like he's trying
to go on vacation or something, you

150
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.960
know, like he's trying to search
which is the right way to make my

151
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.320
way over to Samoa. So he
yelled for Samoa. And he told Joe

152
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.559
he needs to listen to Hangman,
who he called his young boy. And

153
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:52.159
that's a reference to their time in
Ring of Honor many years ago. He

154
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.639
said, Jay White asked for a
world title match, and what happens you

155
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.639
get detacked. He said, the
Acclaim lose their tag team match for when

156
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.039
they teamed up a few weeks ago, and they get attacked. Then the

157
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.480
goons attack Max, but they don't
lay a single shot on him, and

158
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:13.720
then Joe comes to his ad.
We never saw them physically touch mjf.

159
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.879
We only saw him laying there.
He said, it's obviously Max, Max

160
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.279
is the devil, and Hangman tried
to say something. Roddy shoved him away,

161
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.679
and so Paige knocked him on his
ass. Joe and Hangman got up

162
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.840
at each other's face, and Aubrey
told Joe to leave the ring because we

163
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:35.039
were opening with Hangman's match. He
was going one on one on this show

164
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:41.000
with Roderick Straw and that took us
right into the opener. Hangman fought back

165
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.559
from the opening attack as he got
attacked right away, and he connected on

166
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.919
a fallaway slam he kicked up and
that led into a standing shooting star for

167
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.200
two. Matt Tavin was jumping around
outside. He had a sign from a

168
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.600
fan that said next Strong and he
was jumping up and down with this sign.

169
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.519
Strong fought back. He tried to
keep Hangman grounded, but Page responded

170
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.639
with a big boot and a snap
supplex, and then he connected on a

171
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.759
springboard clothes line that sent Roddy to
the outside and he got met with a

172
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.080
slingshot crossbody. Paige wanted a moon
salt. Mike Bennett, though took the

173
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:22.200
referee to allow Matt Taven to distract
hangman just long enough. We're strong to

174
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.000
take control with a backbreaker onto the
top Turnbine. Now Page mounted a comeback

175
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.639
until both men collided and they ended
up bolt down on the mat. Page

176
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.440
started firing off strikes in the corner
until Aubrey pulled him away and Roddy tried

177
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.759
for a jumping knee, but he
jumped right into a death valley driver.

178
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.200
Paige wanted a superplex. Roddy slid
out. Page though tried a moon salt,

179
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.679
landed on his feet and Strong dodged. He charged, and he ran

180
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.360
right into a pop up power bomb
for two. Roddy kicked free from a

181
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.080
dead eye attempt. He connected on
an angle slam into a tiger and then

182
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.759
into the stronghold. Paige got the
ropes, fought to the apron, and

183
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.399
again Mike Bennett grabbed the referee.
This time, though Page was ready for

184
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.000
Tavian. He took him out with
the moon salt from the apron to the

185
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.120
floor. Bennett joined his partner.
Page hit the top riihara moon salt,

186
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.639
which he tried for earlier. It
took both of them out, and then

187
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.679
he went for a buckshot and Roddy
was there to counter Page. Theugh got

188
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.120
a roll up for two and then
he as Roddy stumbled to his feet,

189
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.279
Page picked him up, dropped him
with a dead eye, and he picked

190
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.919
up the wind from next strong to
no neck at all on the dead eye,

191
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.519
Hangman. Page gets the wind.
Very good opener, and Hangman now

192
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.399
climbs back into the wind column,
which is something he needed because he lost

193
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:50.279
two straight matches to swear so in
order to get back to his winning ways

194
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.360
he picked up the wind here and
he needed them more than Roddy did anyway.

195
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:00.000
But they're really going hard to convince
you that MJF is the devil.

196
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.679
We every time we see Roddy come
out, he's saying this to Adam Cole.

197
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.159
He said it here in this segment
in the opener, it's Max Max

198
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.519
is the devil, and usually the
person who protested the loudest is usually the

199
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.960
guilty party in these situations. And
Roddy, I mean for me anyway,

200
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.039
not just Jack Perry, but Roddy
has been at the top of the list

201
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.519
for me from the beginning as far
as who the devil could be, and

202
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.240
for my money, he's still at
the top of the list. I mean,

203
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.080
if I had to come up with
who do I think of the two

204
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.600
or three likeliest you know, to
be revealed as the devil, Roddy is

205
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.840
up there. Jack Perry is up
there too, and well we'll talk about

206
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.440
Jack Perry later and what I think
of that as a potential reveal. But

207
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:52.080
it makes me wonder here as I'm
watching this segment about Samoa Joe, the

208
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.440
idea that Samoa Joe could be the
devil. The reason I really don't like

209
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.320
the idea, and I haven't really
been fond of it, is because it

210
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.480
just doesn't seem to fit Joe's character. Like Samoa Joe, whether he's a

211
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:07.080
babyface or a heel, you know, he's not your your chicken shit here,

212
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.360
right, He's not the kind of
person I think he's gonna throw on

213
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:15.399
a Halloween mask and run around as
something that he's not and then pull it

214
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.519
off. To do the big reveal. So I just I don't see him

215
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.840
as being the devil, but it
wouldn't surprise me if he was connected to

216
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.799
this in some way, you know. And here he's acting all magnanimous and

217
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.840
trying to protect MJF. I want
him to be whole going into World's End,

218
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.799
but then we come to find out
that he's in cahoots with Roddy and

219
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
the Kingdom, right, or there's
some connection there where he's tied in with

220
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.480
a certain other group of people where
he could be part of this. Even

221
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.120
if he himself is not the devil, he could very well end up being

222
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.960
part of this in some way.
But it's just hard for me to see

223
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.080
him being revealed as the devil because
it just doesn't fit, you know,

224
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.159
It's just that's not who Samoa Joe
is. Now. We had a rare

225
00:15:54.360 --> 00:16:00.120
Blue League match in the Continental Classic, rare because we usually those for collision.

226
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:06.759
We had one on Dynamite tonight between
Brody King, who has had himself

227
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.120
a hell of a tournament. I
mean, he has been on an absolute

228
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:15.720
tear one on one with Andrade l
Idelo. Both men came into this tide

229
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.159
at six points apiece. C.
J. Perry For those of you not

230
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:27.039
following some of the minor storylines or
any of the storylines on Collision, she

231
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.759
walked out with Andrade headed to the
back with his mask. They have been

232
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:37.519
doing an angle where he is a
client of hers, and this is all

233
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.840
to try to make Miro jealous because
when she debuted in aw you know,

234
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.840
he didn't seem to appreciate it.
He ran away from her, and so

235
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.399
now she's trying to branch out on
her own, and she's trying to enlist

236
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.399
clients of her own, and she's
trying to make them jealous. Right.

237
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.200
They used to talk all the time
when they were in WWE about all the

238
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.720
different places that they would get have
sex. And they had sex in the

239
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:07.200
tank at WrestleMania thirty one earlier that
day before he defended the US title against

240
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.480
John Cena. That you know,
that's why he lost. You do realize

241
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.000
that that's why he lost the title
to John Cena. See, that's what

242
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.599
happens. He should have been focused
on his match. Instead, he took

243
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.119
his eye off the ball, and
you know, he was bumping uglies with

244
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.000
her in the tank and then he
lost. See, let that be a

245
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.319
lesson to you. So anyway,
that's what's going on with that story.

246
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.880
But she just came out immediately went
to the back because managers are not allowed

247
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.720
at ringside. During the Continental Class, ex Caliber pointed out that if you

248
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:41.640
have a head to head win over
someone in your league, in your group,

249
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.519
and you end up being tied with
them, you would be the one

250
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.799
moving on to the semi finals.
And I believe that's the first time that

251
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.640
they have mentioned that or clarified that
on commentary. It's the first time I've

252
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.720
heard that. Andrede tried to work
a headlog early King though got to his

253
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.880
feet and he just fled him with
a shoulder tackle in a sent on.

254
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.720
We got a big chop battle between
the two of them. Androde floated over

255
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.160
in the corner. He nearly got
caught in the sleeper over the ropes,

256
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.400
which on commentary they pointed out that
was the way that he won the Royal

257
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.640
Rampage a couple of years ago.
Remember when he choked out Darby Allen and

258
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.519
then he let go. Darby just
fell to the ground like a sack of

259
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:29.240
potato. So he tried to do
that here to Andrade. He escaped,

260
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:33.160
though he had a top rope crossbody, only got a one count out of

261
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.720
it. Brodie King, he rolled
to the floor. Androde met him with

262
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.519
a moon salt off the second rope. Back to the ring they went,

263
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:48.000
Andrade got placed on the ropes and
he got viciously chopped, which should put

264
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.440
him on the floor and that put
Brody King in control. During the picture

265
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:59.079
and picture, Androde tried to start
a strike exchange. King, though easily

266
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.960
won that went for a corner charge
missed. Then he ran headfirst into the

267
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.039
turnbuckle. Androde blocked a boot,
hit multiple dragon screws. Finally he took

268
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.079
King down with a flying forearm.
Androde got a body slam. He went

269
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:17.880
up top. He connected on a
split legged moonsalt for two. King dodge

270
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.119
the running double knees in the corner. He turned Androde inside out on a

271
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:27.480
lariat. He just fucking wrecked this
guy with a lariat. Got a close

272
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:33.160
near fall out of it. King
connected on his corner cannonball Andrade dodged the

273
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.079
gonzo bomb. Brody went for another
lariat Androtte got him with a spinning back

274
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:42.480
elbow, though knocked him out.
He was down Androte took too long going

275
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.480
up to the top, though brody
recovered and cut him off, could not

276
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:51.079
hit a superplex. Instead, Androde
fell backwards, which looked dangerous as all

277
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:55.839
hell, but in doing so,
what he did was he slammed brody King

278
00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:00.799
face first onto the exposed part of
the turnbuckle beam that connected the turn buckle

279
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.599
to the ring post, and then
Brody King fell backwards into the ring androtte

280
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.960
up back inside. He hit his
double underhook DDT and he became the first

281
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:17.160
person to defeat brody King in the
Continental Classic. And now Androde stands atop

282
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.759
the Blue League all by himself with
nine points. This was excellent, excellent

283
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.440
match between these two hard hitting back
and forth affair. Again the first Blue

284
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.559
League match we've had on a Wednesday. And you know, I've talked up

285
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.799
Mark Briskow a lot in this tournament, even though he's winless, but every

286
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.119
match that Mark Briscoe has had in
the Gold League has been excellent. He's

287
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:44.960
been the MVP up to tonight,
he had been the MVP of the Gold

288
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.440
League. But you gotta look,
you gotta take your hat off to Brody

289
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.880
King and what they have done with
him and the matches that he has put

290
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.319
in in this tournament so far for
him, it's been a breakout tournament in

291
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.480
many ways, and even with his
first law tonight, it's been a hell

292
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:07.039
of a run that he's on.
And it's gonna be Brody King against Brian

293
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.480
Danielson on Collision this Saturday, and
we're gonna have Andrade taking on Claudia.

294
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:17.720
So those are two of your Blue
League matches coming up this weekend. Rene

295
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.400
was in the back with the von
Erics, Kevin von Eric and his sons

296
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.319
Ross and Marshall. They were in
MLW for a few years, but they

297
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.400
have not worked much over the past
year and a half. They've had a

298
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:33.440
couple of matches independently and that's it. They just have not It's almost like

299
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.559
they've just fallen off the face of
the earth. Now. I know they

300
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:40.319
lived in Hawaii previously, the family
did. They recently moved to Texas,

301
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.039
so I don't know if that's in
preparation for them signing somewhere. I wouldn't

302
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.319
be surprised Ross and Marshall don't end
up working in aw they don't offer.

303
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.519
If Tony Khan doesn't offer them a
contract, that would be surprised. I

304
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:57.000
think he'll probably offer them something.
But they were on the show tonight in

305
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.720
this segment, which was very brief. It wasn't much of a segment.

306
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.119
It was to set up a match
on Rampage this coming Friday. So what

307
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.920
happened is Renee asked them how it
came to be that they ended up here

308
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:15.440
in AW and Kevin said that he
loves AW. I'll bet, I'll bet,

309
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.240
I'll bet he's tuned into the television
every Wednesday, every Friday, and

310
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:26.039
every Saturday watching AEW. Yeah,
all right, bullshit, but he loves

311
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.640
AW. He says he likes the
style and he has a lot of friends

312
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.440
in the company. All of a
sudden, Orange Cassidy, dan Hausen and

313
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.480
Trent Barretta showed up. Every time
they showed Dan Housen. The moment that

314
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.000
Dan Housen is shown on television always
gets a big pop. You could listen

315
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.599
to big pop from the crowd,
and people wonder what the people who don't

316
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.400
get Dan Hausen or get very angry
when they see him on TV and they

317
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.160
wonder why is he featured? Right
that he hasn't been featured too much recently.

318
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.440
He only just came back. But
you want to know why because this

319
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.799
audience is like Orange Cassidy, this
audience they love him. That's so he

320
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.039
got a reaction when he walked in. Cassidy then invited Ross and Marshall to

321
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.960
be his partners because he needed two
partners. He said for a match on

322
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:14.279
Rampage this Friday. And Bretta and
Dan Housen took issue with this. They're

323
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.000
like, hey, we're right here, and then Cassidy said, well we're

324
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:23.559
in Texas, and the von Erics
accepted. I'll say this about this segment.

325
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.799
It's a good thing none of the
actual von Eriks are in this Ironclaw

326
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.400
movie. If they're acting skills,
here are any indication. It's a good

327
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.920
thing. It's based on their story
and they're not actually in the movie.

328
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:40.759
But like I said, I would
be surprised if they don't end up being

329
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.720
signed. I would think Tony Kahan
might want to take a flyer on them.

330
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.799
What very little I saw of them
in MLW, which wasn't much.

331
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.400
I mean I've probably seen a grand
total of two of their matches. I

332
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.599
wasn't overly impressed. They look okay, they look capable, there was nothing

333
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.480
special about them, so I can't
say, oh, Tony Khann, it's

334
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.480
a must sign. You know,
Tony Khan has signed plenty of people as

335
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.440
it is, and frankly, there
are other people that he should be looking

336
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.960
at signing. If we're talking about
a Mercedes and you know, people like

337
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.319
that, the von Eriks. You
know, again, if he wants to

338
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.880
take a flyer on them, you
know, it could be worthwhile. But

339
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.440
again, it's been a long time
since they've worked. Not sure why.

340
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.279
Now Kenny Omega was out to the
ring. Do we even need to talk

341
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.640
about this fucking segment? Kenny Omega
out to the ring. He was dressed

342
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.240
like he was on his way to
the gym. Either that or he was

343
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.519
on his way to Walgreens to pick
up a prescription. I mean, he

344
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.640
just looked like he had just given
up walked to the ring. They went

345
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:51.119
to commercial at that point. When
they came back, Chris Jericho joined him

346
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.799
in the ring. Jericho had a
brace on his I believe it was his

347
00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:00.359
right arm to sell the injury he
sustained at the hands of Ricky Starks Big

348
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:07.480
Bill backstage at Full Gear. Remember, Jericho had mentioned that the sprum that

349
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.920
Omega as soon as the show was
over or the match was over. He

350
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.200
left to go home because his cat
was sick. So Jericho was there all

351
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.039
by himself, and Ricky Starks and
Big Bill attacked him in the hallway.

352
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:25.319
They drove a production crate into his
arm, so hence the arm injury.

353
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.079
So Jericho said, the reason why
it's been a while since they've been here

354
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.279
is because of Big Bill and Ricky
Starks. They put him out for three

355
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.440
weeks. Then last week, Big
Bill put Omega down. He called for

356
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.240
the champions to get their sorry asses
out here. Starks and Bill they made

357
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:48.119
their way out on stage. Stark
said that he has nothing against Omega.

358
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.839
He thanked him for aew but he
said Jericho sucks the life out of everything

359
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:59.319
that he's in. And Starks asked
Omega if he really thinks he can trust

360
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.200
Jericho. He pointed out what happened
with the Inner Circle. He pointed out

361
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.160
what happened with the Jericho Appreciation Society. Bill told Omega to think of the

362
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:12.319
things that Jericho has done to him, and he said no one would be

363
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:18.160
surprised if Jericho turned on Omega too, and Omega said, look, Jericho

364
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.720
knows that I don't trust him.
And then Omega brought up the Firm,

365
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.880
which I would like to forget that. I'm willing to bet most people have.

366
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.279
You don't remember that was the faction
that Big Bill was part of previously.

367
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:37.000
It was the Firm. The what
Yeah, the firm, so they

368
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.079
were He asked the fans if they
remembered it, and then Omega said that,

369
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.799
well, I can't say that I
do either, So he completely buried

370
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:53.160
the firm. He said the firm
was more like the flaccid, and then

371
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:57.960
he made a soft joke because of
course we have Big Bill out here,

372
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:04.359
so he makes a soft joke.
This is where the segment began to nose

373
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:10.200
dive and there was no saving it. Like the plane is going down and

374
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.240
you're just waiting for the crash landing. There was no rescue in sight.

375
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.880
Omega said that he and Jericho would
take the aw tag team titles from Starks

376
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:23.559
and Bill at World's End. So
now we have an official date for the

377
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:30.240
match World's End, December thirtieth tag
team titles on the line. He accidentally

378
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.559
referred to himself in Jericho as the
Winnipeg Jets. Then he corrected him see

379
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.839
Winnipeg Jets, the Golden Jets.
Yeah, that's their name, so he

380
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:44.119
corrected himself to the Golden Jets.
I'm telling you, he sounded like he

381
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.119
was out. There were a few
fluffs from him. He just looked and

382
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.160
sounded like he was just out to
lunch. Here for this entire segment,

383
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.279
Stark's accepted the challenge. He said
that he hopes Jericho remembers back in January

384
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.440
when he beat him on Dynamite,
and then Bill pointed out that Stark's actually

385
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.359
beat Jericho twice. The second time
was on pay per view. I have

386
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.359
no memory of this. I remember
the match on Dynamite. I gotta be

387
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.440
honest with you, I have no
memory of there being a pay per view

388
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.000
rematch between the two. I don't
doubt that it happened. I guess it

389
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.640
would have been at Revolution, but
I have no memory of this whatsoever.

390
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.319
So stark said that he and Bill
are the best tag team even though they

391
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.160
don't have a name, and Jericho
and Omega said, oh, we could

392
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:37.799
fix that, and Jericho went with
the absolute assholes and they censored assholes on

393
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:44.240
the TBS feed. I would imagine
if you were watching this on Fights or

394
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.640
I guess now a Triller Fight TV
is no more bother. It has been

395
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.319
rebranded. It is now Triller TV. So all you international people who watched

396
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.519
the show on Fight, I imagine
it's been rebranded already. It's probably under

397
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:03.039
its new name Triller. I don't
think they would censor this, but that

398
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.680
was his clever name for them,
the absolute assholes. Jericho said that,

399
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.640
uh, well, I could do
even better than that, and he got

400
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:19.359
censored again when he suggested the the
Rick and the Dick. Yep, the

401
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:23.359
Rick and the Dick. This guy's
supposed to be a babyface. Not to

402
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.799
me, he wasn't. Omega asked
if it was his first day on the

403
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.920
job. Jericho said, well,
how about this. We could combine their

404
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.920
names and we could call them Big
Billy Starks. Ha ha ha hah hah

405
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.319
get it, Billy Starks, Ring
of Honor, Billy Starr. Yeah,

406
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.799
Billy's Billy Starks will be in the
main event, the Final Battle. Yeah,

407
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:49.519
there's a pay per view next week, Final Battle. I'll be wrestling

408
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:53.319
Athena. I think Athena is finally
going to drop that women's championship and then

409
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.559
they can get her on the aw
women's roster where she belongs instead of being

410
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:03.799
hidden away behind to fucking Paywall.
Ridiculous, get that title off of her

411
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:10.799
already. Stark said that one fell
flat. This entire segment fell flat.

412
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:15.000
He said, well, that one
fell flat. He accused Jericho of buying

413
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:21.880
his clothes at Hot Topic. He
said, I could excuse the name that

414
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.519
you just gave us, but I
cannot excuse the outfit where you went to

415
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.880
the local Hot Topic and you say, hey, give me the best stuff

416
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:36.440
that you got. Jericho came back
with you say, I'm a clout vampire.

417
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.880
Believe me. If I was gonna
suck my fangs into somebody, I

418
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.039
would do it with somebody with a
lot more clout than you, because from

419
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:49.880
where I'm standing, all I see
is a better dressed, less charismatic version

420
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:56.839
of Enzo Amori. Omega said,
hey, let's give Enzo credit. At

421
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.799
least he would hype up Big Bill
and not take all the spot, and

422
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:04.000
Stark said, if you want a
war, you'll get one. He called

423
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:11.000
them a couple of Winnipeg's scumbags.
Omega then mocked the scumbag's name and bids

424
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:17.200
us all adieu with his usual closing
line. This sucked. This segment fucking

425
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:22.480
sucked. I hated everything about this
segment. And I like Ricky Starks and

426
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.279
Big Bill. I got no problem
with them, but my god, this

427
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.240
segment was fucking terrible. And halfway
through I'm like, all right, we

428
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.359
get the point here, right,
set up the match at world's end,

429
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.640
wrap it up. But then they
had to go into comedy and they thought

430
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.319
they were funnier than they were,
and it just would never end it.

431
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.599
It just kept going and going and
going. Worst thing on the entire show.

432
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:51.720
This sucked. Today's episode is sponsored
by Betterhelp. It is the holiday

433
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:55.960
season, and depending on your circle
of friends or where you work, everyone

434
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.480
has their policies on gift giving and
exchanging Christmas cards, Santa's all that stuff.

435
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.400
I don't have to worry about any
of that anymore since I work from

436
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.200
home now. But whether or not
you give gifts during the holidays, you

437
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:12.759
need to also focus on giving to
yourself, and this month is a great

438
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.359
time to do just that. Whether
that's by going a little easier on yourself

439
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:20.680
during those tough moments, treating yourself
to a day off, or starting therapy,

440
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:25.000
remember to give yourself some love this
holiday season. Therapy offers a host

441
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.839
of positive benefits, especially when you're
not feeling quite right, and that tends

442
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.039
to happen to a lot of people
this time of year. It can empower

443
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:37.160
you to be the best version of
yourself. So here's the deal. If

444
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.160
you're thinking of giving therapy a try, I recommend Better Help. It's entirely

445
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:45.160
online. It's designed to fit conveniently
into your schedule, no matter how busy

446
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.640
you may be. Just fill out

451
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:14.400
Solo Monster. So here's what I'm
guessing. Now that we have the match

452
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:19.880
official World's in Okay, Jericho and
Omega are gonna win the tag team times.

453
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:23.319
This is as I'm looking ahead.
I see Jericho and Omega winning the

454
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:29.680
tag team times and then we're gonna
get set up for the match Jericho and

455
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:35.799
Omega against Takeshta and Powerhouse Homes.
I talked about Takesha on the podcast this

456
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.680
past week. For those of you
wondering whatever happened to Kenoski Takesha, maybe

457
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.079
you don't keep up with all the
shows, maybe you don't watch Rampage,

458
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:46.279
right, that's probably most of you
watching this right now. Think back a

459
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:52.039
few months when Takeshta went heal and
they paired him up with Don Kallis,

460
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.640
and I thought, you know,
that's exactly what he needs talking promos,

461
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.799
right, not his strong suit.
His English is not great. Turnham Heel,

462
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:02.640
even though he was very over that
the people loved him, But to

463
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:06.839
turnham Heel, give him a mouthpiece
and let him go out there and just

464
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:08.920
start kicking ass. Right, that
could be just what this guy needs to

465
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:12.920
help take him and elevate him to
that next level. And then we can

466
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.880
get a match between him and Kenny
Omega. And then we went to Wembley

467
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:21.519
Stadium and there was a trios match
and Takeshta pined Omega and that led into

468
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.440
it all out a week later in
Chicago one on one a great match between

469
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:30.480
Takeshta and Kenny Omega, and he
pinned Kenny Omega, which still means some

470
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:36.280
That was a big win, the
biggest win of his career for Takeshta.

471
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:37.480
You think, all right, this
guy now, man, this guy's set

472
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:39.960
up to go places. Right.
They don't have to put the world title

473
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:44.639
on him right now or anything,
but he's in a great position right now.

474
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.000
I wonder what they have in store
for him next, and I figured

475
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:51.360
it was probably gonna be another match
with Omega, maybe a full year,

476
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:53.679
but we didn't get that. And
now I look back on it, we're

477
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:59.760
three months out from all out right, three months later? What have they

478
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:04.400
done with Kenoski Takesha since that big
singles win over Kenny Omega? That should

479
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.000
have been a big deal. Kenny
Omega one of the top stars in the

480
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.559
company, former aw world champion.
What have they done with Takesha in the

481
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:17.800
last three months? How much you
know who the star of the Don Kallis

482
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:23.440
family is Don Kallas. Don Kallas
had Sammy Gevara that he's been out because

483
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:27.559
he was hurt and then his wife
had a child, so we'll put him

484
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:31.079
on the side. They've Kyle Fletcher
filling in for him. But the Kallus

485
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:36.039
family has basically been Takeshna and Powerhouse
Hobbs. They brought Powerhouse Hobbs in.

486
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.320
I thought the same thing. This
could be great for Powerhouse Hobbs, except

487
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:43.880
then I think back to his entire
career trajectory in this company so far has

488
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.639
basically always been as part of a
faction. It was Team Taz, and

489
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:51.880
then of course it was q T. Marshall's Crew Boy. That sure did

490
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:54.480
a lot of good for him,
didn't it. Now it's in the Kallus

491
00:35:54.480 --> 00:36:00.079
family. He's bouncing around. He's
like the foster child who just can't find

492
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.920
a family that wants him. They
adopt him, and then they kick him

493
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.519
to the curb, and then it's
like back to the orphanage until we find

494
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:08.960
the next family for him, and
then they kick him out back to the

495
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:15.360
orphanage, onto the next family.
Maybe this time it'll take So they have

496
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:21.039
done nothing with really either one of
these guys. They've turned them into a

497
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:27.320
tag team. They've teamed up a
few times on Rampage Rampage. Now,

498
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:31.360
if Jericho and Omega win the tag
team titles, Takesha has beatn Omega.

499
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:36.639
Hobbs squashed Jericho on Dynamite right about
a month and a half ago, probably

500
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.000
it was at this point. We'll
get a tag team match. It'll be

501
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:45.960
Jericho and Omega defending the tag team
titles against Takeshta and Powerhouse Hobbs is where

502
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:49.719
I think this is headed. Then
the young Bucks, who have been gone

503
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:55.960
really since full gear come back full
fledge heels. They cost Omega and Jericho

504
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:00.000
the tag team titles. Takeshta and
Hobbes are your new t tag Team champions.

505
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:05.280
So then they end up with some
gold. That doesn't really make it

506
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:12.280
any better in my mind, because
again Takeshka beats Omega ends up doing tag

507
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.239
matches. It just seems backwards to
me. So they become the tag team

508
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:20.519
champions, right if it works out
that way? Maybe it doesn't. They

509
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:24.159
become the tag team champions, but
then what right? I mean, again,

510
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:27.960
the star of the show here is
not Hobbs, It's not takesh it's

511
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.239
Don Kallas. I mean, are
they building to Kenny Omega against Don Kallas?

512
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:36.280
It almost feels that way. I
mean, I know he used to

513
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.079
wrestle, but I can't say I
have any interest in seeing that, Like

514
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:44.400
what are we doing here? But
because each of them have wins over Jericho

515
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:46.000
and Omega, that has to be
the direction that they're heading in. They

516
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:52.119
think it's a great idea. I
think that's debatable, but I think that's

517
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.000
when we get the young Bucks back. The Bucks are gonna come back as

518
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.559
heels. Honestly, the Bucks should
be heels at this point. They are

519
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:01.320
still played out and they're clearly heading
in that direction obviously the way they were

520
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:06.880
behaving and the way they pitched a
fit when they lost. So the Bucks's

521
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.440
heels is the way to go because
as Baby faces to me, they're just

522
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:15.320
fucking boor at this point, so
at least try something different with them.

523
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:22.400
But my god, this segment,
Holy shit. Next up we had ReHO

524
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:29.039
against Ruby, Soho look everyone,
it's Samoa Bro. And now we have

525
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:37.199
Samoa Bro. This was Reho's first
television match since April, so it's been

526
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:43.000
a while since we have seen her
on the show. Timeless Tony Storm always

527
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:45.159
good to see Timeless Tony Storm out
there. She comes to the ring to

528
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:52.840
do commentary. She sits down.
She asks the commentators if they want her

529
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.679
to do play by play or color, and Taz says, well, I

530
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:00.360
do color, and these guys aren't
very good at play by place, so

531
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:05.559
why don't you go ahead and do
that? Totally buried his partners there,

532
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.280
She said Luther wasn't there because he
was at home with a touch of the

533
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.639
gout, and Mariah May was out
there as well. She was standing behind

534
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:22.559
Tony holding the Women's World championship.
That might be a little foreshadowing there.

535
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.960
Ruby attacked right from the bell.
Riho, though bridged out of a pin,

536
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.760
hit a quick drop kick. She
followed with a wheelbarrow into a double

537
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:37.000
stomp. Soho tried for a back
superplex on ReHO in the corner but got

538
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:43.039
caught up in the ropes and ReHO
in a great double stump, and then

539
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:46.519
she waved at Tony at ringside at
the commentary desk. That took us into

540
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:53.840
picture and picture. Soho gained control
during the break, but ReHO turned the

541
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.920
tide with a head scissors into the
ropes and she had a six to one

542
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:06.199
nine. ReHO missed a top rope
stomp and Soho hit the no future for

543
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:15.239
a near fault. ReHO avoid It's
kind of annoying. ReHO avoided destination Unknown,

544
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:19.599
countered a guillotine into a northern lights, followed by a dragon sup plex

545
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:24.679
and the charging double knees for the
wind Ho Ho Ho, come on,

546
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:28.679
It's Christmas time, right, we
need all the hoes we can find.

547
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:31.000
That didn't come out right, but
you know what I mean, I thought

548
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.480
this was fine. You know,
gives ReHO a win because clearly she's gonna

549
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:39.280
be challenging Tony Storm at World's End
for the championship, so she's got to

550
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:43.719
rack up a couple of wins first, and this was a win. I

551
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:45.199
mean, it's in a way,
it's kind of sad to see Ruby used

552
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:50.599
in this way, but she's not
the flavor of the month. It's ReHO.

553
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:54.440
She's the one getting the shot nut
her. Then we got a Wardlow

554
00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:00.719
video Pat or ward Ho. We'll
go with Wardlow Wardlow video pack. I've

555
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:06.400
got to entertain myself somehow, so
come on, we got a Wardlow video

556
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.679
package. He said he's been preparing
for war since he returned. He said

557
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:15.960
he's left the path of Mayhem behind
him, destroying every person in his way.

558
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:21.719
He said, just like the archangel
Michael, he will be the one

559
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:25.840
to bring the devil to his knees. Wardlow said mjf's world is coming to

560
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:31.079
an end. I still play on
words there with their World's End event coming

561
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:37.320
up. I've been saying it for
weeks, like Wardlow is clearly part of

562
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:38.760
this crew. We saw it again
at the end of the show tonight,

563
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:44.239
but we've seen it other times where
the Devil's Men in their black masks and

564
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.599
their black suits, and you could
clearly tell that in some of those segments

565
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:52.119
one of the Devil's Men has been
Warden. I mean, he just has

566
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:58.079
a certain his mannerisms and just his
size, the way he stands there,

567
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.519
the way he moves clearly, so
I don't think he's the Devil, but

568
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:07.119
I do think that he is definitely
one hundred part of the Devil's crew.

569
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:12.599
So when we eventually get a reveal, he will likely be part of that

570
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.400
crew. But I'm telling you something
big is going down on that show.

571
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:21.880
On December thirtieth, now, we
got another Gold League match in the Continental

572
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:27.159
CLASSID with Rusche taking on the winless
Jay Lethal. Ex Caliber said that it

573
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.760
was a must win for Ruche.
For Lethal at this point, he's just

574
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:35.159
playing spoiler. Rusche was not in
there to fuck around. He made short

575
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:39.360
work of this guy. He was
still in things mathematically at least at this

576
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:44.320
point. He was more on that
in a minute, but he was on

577
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:47.119
the bubble here and so he worked
this match, like he knew it.

578
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:52.360
Lethal blocked the discus elbow into it. In Ziguri, Lethal wasted too much

579
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:57.480
time. He got launched into the
corner by an overhead belly to belly Lethal

580
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.280
block bulls horns, Ruche sidestep,
they lead the injection, sank in a

581
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:05.360
rear naked choke for the quick submission. Just like that, a little over

582
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:10.199
four minutes. Easy win here for
Rusche, Sanjay Dutt, Jeff Jarrett,

583
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:15.719
Karen Jarrett. They came out on
stage to try to console Jay Lethal,

584
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.719
and he just kind of brushed him
off, very dejected, very disappointed,

585
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.599
and he walked to the back.
Maybe there's a redemption arc in here somewhere,

586
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:28.159
not in this tournament. I mean, he's fucking loser in this tournament,

587
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.639
but coming out of this tournament,
maybe there is a redemption arc in

588
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:37.719
here for Jay Lethal where he breaks
away from Jarrett and Sonjay ends up as

589
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:42.280
a babyface, it starts to win
some matches. Clearly, they're not going

590
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.760
to do anything big with Jay Lethal
in adw Right. I mean, that's

591
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:49.639
it's clear as day. That's not
why he's there. Jay Lethal, he's

592
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:52.840
a veteran, he's been around forever. He's obviously he's an excellent worker.

593
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:58.800
We know that former a Ring of
Honor champion. It's credentials right speaks for

594
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:02.159
itself. He is not going to
be pushed as a top star in AIDAB

595
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:06.960
maybe in Ring of Honor if they
want to banish him back there, but

596
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:08.920
not inn ADEB. But that doesn't
mean that they can't have some kind of

597
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:13.400
redemption story with him coming out of
this. So his reaction here at the

598
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:15.199
end of this segment was interesting.
We'll see if they follow up on it.

599
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.960
It's not going to be a major
story on the show, but do

600
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:22.960
they do something to follow up on
it? I would hope so. I

601
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:24.800
know Tony Kah doesn't always do that, but in this case, that could

602
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:30.920
be something to watch out for.
Switchblade j White against Mark Brisco in the

603
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:37.400
Continental Classic Goldly was our next match. Brisco hit his froggy bow elbow drop

604
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:39.960
early and then Jay White rolled to
the floor to avoid being pinned. Brisco

605
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:44.840
followed him outside and then a little
while later, Jay dumped him over the

606
00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:46.960
top row back out of the ring, and he smacked his back hard on

607
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:51.719
the ring apron on the way down. Back inside, White put Brisco down

608
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:54.119
with a DDT for a two count
that took us into the picture and picture

609
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:59.679
break. Brisco then a little bit
later on, hit his cactus jack elbow

610
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:04.239
drop from the apron onto Jay White
on the floor. Mark followed up inside

611
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.719
with a razor's edge for a near
fall. Brisco set up for a dra

612
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:15.280
a dra driller Wow. He set
up for a j driller, and White

613
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:19.519
countered into a dragon's screw, then
executed a sleeper suit Plex went for blade

614
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:22.679
Runner, but Briscoe countered into a
supplex of his own. Brisco went for

615
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:25.960
froggy bow. White got his knees
up though this time, and then Jay

616
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:30.519
White hit the blade Runner and he
scored the pit. And so like Jay

617
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:37.440
Lethal Mark Briscoe has lost every single
one of his matches so far, but

618
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:40.000
this was another solid effort for him. I mean he has been on a

619
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.199
a When I say he's on a
run, it's not quite the same run

620
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:47.960
that Brody King has been on because
he's actually been winning most of his matches.

621
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.039
But he's been on a run in
terms of the quality of his matches

622
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.039
and the people like Marks that they're
behind him. He's an easy he got

623
00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:59.320
a root for, especially this time
of year, but he's winless. Even

624
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:00.760
though he's been I mean, these
great matches in this tournament, he has

625
00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:05.239
yet to pick up a single win. I'm not saying he should have here,

626
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:08.199
but just hasn't happened for him yet. But we were told at this

627
00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:15.880
point that by virtue of j White
winning this match here that Rouche was mathematically

628
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:20.519
eliminated from winning the tournament. So
he had a shot earlier, but now

629
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:28.400
now he's got no shot. And
they headlined the show our main event,

630
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:37.039
a Gold League Continental Classic match first
time ever, I believe between John Moxley

631
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:42.440
and Swerve strictly, I've been looking
forward to this match since it was announced

632
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.760
last week, and we got that
little face to face backstage between them.

633
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:52.199
Swerve has obviously been on a roll
Moxley. You look at his win loss

634
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:54.960
record in this company really since the
day he walked in. Hell of a

635
00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:59.719
lot more wins than losses. So
this was a big match for Swerve coming

636
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:04.760
into tonight twenty minute time limit as
all of these matches have, and they

637
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:07.960
had a five minute overrun on the
show tonight. Tony con announced that a

638
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:10.400
few days ago that the show was
going to ten oh five instead of ten

639
00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:14.519
so there were a lot of reasons
to think that this was gonna be our

640
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:19.800
first time limit draw in this tournament. We got holy shit chance before they

641
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:25.119
even touched. A series of reversals
led to Strickland hitting a head scissors that

642
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:29.960
sent Moxley out to the floor.
Hey, Jake Schuster just became a sound

643
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:32.960
of legend and welcome James. Jake's
got that red skull. I'd like to

644
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:39.360
see it. So the head scissors
sent Moxley to the floor and we got

645
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:44.280
a forearm and a chop battle between
the two of them until Moxley went to

646
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:49.039
the second rope and he had his
legs kicked out from under him. Strickland

647
00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:52.840
hit a nasty leaping DDT. This
looks sick. He just he jumped up,

648
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:57.599
he grabbed Moxley, he was on
the middle rope and just drove I

649
00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:01.400
mean he fucking drove this guy into
the map with DDT and only got an

650
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:07.360
earfall out of it. Moxley tried
to regroup outside the ring and Swerve would

651
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:10.440
not let up. He went out
right after him, continued the attack back

652
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:15.480
inside. Moxley exploded out of the
corner with the lariat and poured down some

653
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:21.639
punches before he started biting the the
arm. He was hitting a few blows

654
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.519
here, he'd a stolled pile driver
for two. Moxley went to the floor.

655
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:29.679
He crouched Swerve on the apron before
driving him into the ring steps.

656
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:36.440
So then we had our final commercial
break and Moxley dominated through the brake.

657
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:39.079
Coming out of it, he put
Swerve down with a hard lariat. Swerve

658
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:44.320
bought a few seconds for himself with
a backbreaker across the knee. Then he

659
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:46.920
came off the middle rope with a
diving elbow to the back of a seated

660
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:52.280
Moxley. And now Swerve, he
was feeling it. Now now Swerve,

661
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:54.760
he's doing a dance here, saying
he's not quite Prince Nana, but he's

662
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:59.559
starting to dance. You shouldn't dance
though, in the middle of a tournament

663
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:02.320
matchlight this he was feeling it.
He was also the feeling the cutter that

664
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:07.559
Moxley then caught him with do not
break out into dance in the middle of

665
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:12.400
your match. So he got dropped. Luckily for him, he kicked out

666
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:16.320
before three. Moxley dropped him with
a Gotch style pile driver, and then

667
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:21.559
ex Caliber noted that a move like
that will have an effect on Swerve's taped

668
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:24.559
up shoulder, because his shoulder has
had the Canisio tape on it since the

669
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:30.039
Texas Death match with Hangman, So
that was they were playing that story up

670
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:32.960
in the match as well. Swerve
caught Moxley coming off the ropes with a

671
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:38.119
flat liner and then a stalling souplex, but Moxley immediately popped back up and

672
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:43.159
Swerve put him right down with a
boot to the face. Swerve took a

673
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:47.960
page out of the Blackpool Combat Club
playbook with some hammer and anvil elbows and

674
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.320
then the house call kick. Swerve
went to the top rope for a Swerve

675
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:57.239
stump, but Moxley popped up and
knocked Swerve off the top. He took

676
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:01.440
a nasty spill out to the floor. Moxley told Paul Turner to count him

677
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:06.199
out and that he would take the
count out win because look him, take

678
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:07.920
the count out win. You get
three points either way. It doesn't really

679
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:13.039
matter, So take the win anyway
you can get it, I guess,

680
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.320
which actually is kind of how he
won the match here, I guess.

681
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:20.400
Swerve dove back into the ring.
Moxley was there to meet him. With

682
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:22.480
a curb stomp, but he only
got two out of it. At that

683
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:27.800
point we got the fifteen minute time
call from Justin Roberts, which meant we

684
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:30.960
had five minutes left in this match. Moxley tried to sink in a rear

685
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:36.440
naked choke. Swerve blocked it,
but Moxley got a cross arm breaker applied

686
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.920
Swerve though got his foot on the
bottom rope to break the hole. Moxley

687
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:44.480
left the ring and he grabs a
chair that will not get you points in

688
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:49.039
this tournament, but he grabbed a
steel chair. Swerve flew out over the

689
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:53.360
top rope and knocked him down.
Moxley ended up sitting in the chair and

690
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:59.679
Swerve came charging from the apron with
a diving double stump through the chair and

691
00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:05.320
then back inside. He gave him
a proper swerve stomp. Thought he had

692
00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:09.360
the match one. Moxley kicked out, kicked out of this man's finish.

693
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:16.039
So now Swerve tries for the JML
driver, but Moxley counters into a roll

694
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:21.719
through and Moxley rolls him up deep, even grabbed him by the belt.

695
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:28.000
The cinch back hard and you could
see swerve shoulder was like six inches up

696
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.840
off the mat, but Paul Turner
didn't see it, and he counted the

697
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:36.760
three to give Moxley the win and
another three points, and that now puts

698
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:43.280
John Moxley atop the Gold League with
twelve points. He is now in first

699
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:46.320
place. He's in he's the top
star in this bracket here because he's got

700
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:51.639
more points than anybody else. Swerve
is now tied for second with Jay White.

701
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:57.800
Each of them have nine points,
and that all but guarantees Moxley a

702
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:01.639
spot in the final of the semi
final, and Swerve now puts him in

703
00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:07.880
a situation where he is in a
must win on television next week. The

704
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:13.599
cameraman was lingering on Swerve. Moxley
was outside the ring. He looked into

705
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:16.519
the camera and said, whatever it
takes, and then he disappeared off into

706
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:21.960
the crowd. The fans were not
thrilled. You could hear booze. I

707
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:23.679
mean not everybody was booming, but
you can hear booze from the crowd.

708
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:28.000
For that finish, they wanted Swerve
to win. You know what I think.

709
00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.719
I think Swerve may have to pay
a visit to the Moxley household.

710
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:35.920
That's what I think. That's what
he may have to do. But the

711
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:39.119
way they lingered on Swerve all disappointed, there's a story to tell them.

712
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:45.400
The people like Swerve, whether you
consider them heel or a babyface, right,

713
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:47.480
he's a baby face, right.
The fans like this guy. They

714
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:52.880
cheer for him, they want to
see him win. And now he realizes

715
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:55.840
he's in a do or die situation
here. The fans are gonna want to

716
00:52:55.960 --> 00:53:00.000
rally behind Swerve and see him go
all the way. So he has to

717
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:04.000
win next week, and I think
that's what they're gonna end up doing.

718
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.239
They're gonna send him. I think
we're gonna get a rematch between Moxley and

719
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:10.320
Swerve, and the semi finals is
where I think this is. This is

720
00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:14.760
headed to. But I will tell
you I was very surprised that we did

721
00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:16.599
not get that time limit draw.
I thought we were gonna get that draw.

722
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:20.159
I said it last week. I
said this match, it just seems

723
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:23.199
like the perfect time to bust out
that first time limit draw in this tournament.

724
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:27.960
They keep mentioning the twenty minute time
limit. It's gonna happen at some

725
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:30.400
point. I thought it would happen
here. I was very surprised that it

726
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:36.079
didn't and it's unfortunate that the shoulder
came up. I'm not sure that that

727
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:38.000
was meant to be. I mean, it could have been part of the

728
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:45.280
plan. I just figured his shoulder
was up, not necessarily part of the

729
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:47.199
story. The story was that Moxley, you know, he hooked the tights,

730
00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:51.800
he hooked the belt, even if
it was part of the story though,

731
00:53:51.840 --> 00:53:53.199
I mean, again, it was
plain as day that this guy's shoulder

732
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.000
was so far up off the mat
you think out of the referee not see

733
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:00.920
that, But he didn't. Excellent
match though, excellent man. This may

734
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:05.519
have been my favorite match in the
tournament so far. And we were not

735
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:10.239
done yet because they cut to the
back and in the parking lot were the

736
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:15.800
Devil's masked men and they were laying
a beatdown on Hangman Page. And again

737
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:20.280
it was so obvious that Wardlow was
one of the mask men here. That's

738
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:23.960
just mean, I could practically see
through the black mask and say, hey,

739
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:29.239
it's Wardlow. As if it wasn't
obvious all those weeks ago, what

740
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:32.519
was it? I guess it would
have been. Uh, it wasn't last

741
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:37.480
week? Was it was it last
week? Or two weeks ago? Whenever

742
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.159
it was that they had MJF and
the ring down on his knees, and

743
00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:44.840
there was that one guy, one
mask guy who had like a pipe in

744
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:49.719
his hand. Was Ward. It
was so obviously warned. So they're beating

745
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.039
him up and all of a sudden, this car pulls up and the man

746
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:58.480
in the devil mask emerges and he
nods, and two of the Devil's henchmen

747
00:54:58.480 --> 00:55:01.360
they grab hangman. They pick him
up and they choke slam on top of

748
00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:08.119
the windshield of this car. The
windshield smashes real glass. They put him

749
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:13.639
through the windshield and that is how
they went off the air. So another

750
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:19.400
little twist here in this devil story. Is it Jack Perry? Is it

751
00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:22.000
Roderick Strong? Is it MJF himself? I said, you know, MJF

752
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:24.280
was not on the show tonight.
Maybe he was. Maybe he was right

753
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:29.960
there right in front of us,
hidden away by a mask. They've been

754
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:32.559
saying that it's MJF Roddy every time
he comes out. Oh, it's Max,

755
00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:36.199
it's Max. It would be too
obvious for it to be MJF.

756
00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:39.360
It would be lame for it to
be MJF, even though it would fit

757
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:43.440
his character to do that. It
would be lame. I don't think it's

758
00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:47.440
MJF you know. Could it be
their way of reintroducing Jack Perry. Here's

759
00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:51.159
the thing I said a few weeks
ago that if it was Jack Perry like

760
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:55.360
and I laughed at all. I
don't know if Jack Perry, if he's

761
00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:00.559
the devil, if he's the mastermind, if he's the one orchestra creating this

762
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:05.599
entire thing, this whole fiasco,
I don't know that he is in a

763
00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:09.679
position where he could carry an angle
like that in a lead heel role.

764
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:14.559
The last time we saw him,
he was starting to come into his own

765
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:19.239
as a heel. His promos were
better than they were previously. I felt

766
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.719
he was getting better at it.
He was just such an unlikable little douche,

767
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:27.639
and he was starting he was starting
to get comfortable, it felt like,

768
00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:31.119
in the role. And then brawl
In happened. We go from brawl

769
00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:35.360
out to brawl In. One year
later. We haven't seen him since,

770
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:38.960
and some people think that's a bad
sign. It could be a sign that

771
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:42.880
maybe they're not going to bring him
back. I fully expect him to be

772
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:45.920
back, and it's a very good
chance it will be as a part of

773
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:47.880
this angle. Whether he is the
devil or whether he is one of the

774
00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:53.199
Devil's minions, But can he carry
something like this if he is the devil

775
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:58.960
and they set him up for a
World Championship match with MJN. I can

776
00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:05.039
understand Tony wanting to take a bad
situation and make something out of it.

777
00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:08.239
This guy will have probably a good
amount of heat when he comes back,

778
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:13.519
okay, for all the reasons that
you would think, So why not harness

779
00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:15.840
that? Why not use that?
If there are gonna be people that hate

780
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:20.840
this guy's guts, why not take
advantage of that and use it to try

781
00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:24.280
to make a bigger heel out.
I'm not saying he's wrong for wanting to

782
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:28.840
do that. I just don't know
that Jack Berry is the one. After

783
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:31.400
all these these months of build up
and they reveal let's say that it's him.

784
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:37.000
He pulls the mask off and it's
fucking Jack Perry underneath. I mean,

785
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:42.199
I just I would love to hear
the reaction from the crowd. Is

786
00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:47.559
it universal groans? Is it legitimate
visceral heat? Do people cheer? Like?

787
00:57:47.599 --> 00:57:51.760
What is the reaction to the people
if he pulls off the mask at

788
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:55.039
the Nassau Coliseum. I mean knowing
the Nassau Coliseum, it'll just be crickets.

789
00:57:55.440 --> 00:57:58.960
But if he pulls off the mask
at the Nasau Colisseum and it is

790
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:05.159
Jack Perry, I just picked your
groans from the crowd. Like I don't

791
00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:07.039
think. I think at this point
you need somebody bigger for that spot.

792
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:10.480
But it could very well end up
being him, And I think that can

793
00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:15.639
be the reason why Tony Kahn says, you know what, let's take advantage

794
00:58:15.679 --> 00:58:17.800
of this and put all the heat
on Jack Perry. Let's just go all

795
00:58:17.800 --> 00:58:22.280
in on this guy. People hate
him, great, great, let's use

796
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:29.519
that. Let's make him a bigger
heel out of it. As far as

797
00:58:29.679 --> 00:58:31.519
who it actually ends up being,
look, it could be anybody. It's

798
00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:35.679
anybody's guests. Anybody who tells you
they know who the devil is is lying

799
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:37.280
to you, because I guarantee you
all these people who claim they know who

800
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:42.199
the devil is, they've given probably
five different answers over the last two months.

801
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:44.679
One week they think it's this guy, the next week they think it's

802
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:46.760
that guy. So we'll let the
story play out and see. I do

803
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:51.360
think a World's End will get a
reveal. I think by World's end you

804
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:53.400
got to move this along and let's
find out who it is and then they

805
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:59.239
can go from there, because then
once the devil is revealed, where the

806
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:02.559
devil end is mens are revealed.
There's a whole other story now that has

807
00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:07.760
Don Raffle, which is the why
and where do they go from here?

808
00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:10.719
Do we have a new faction?
Who leads the faction? Right? Who

809
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:15.599
depends on who the devil is?
But I think the reveal comes at World's

810
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.840
Inn, and Wardlow is clearly tied
into it, not only because he's one

811
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:23.039
of the minions, but just look
at his promo tonight right the little World's

812
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:28.559
End play on words there. Clearly
he'll have some involvement in this. This

813
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:32.880
show is all about the Continental Classic. It was not about a sixty second

814
00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:37.079
segment in the parking lot at the
end of the show. It was not

815
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:42.079
about Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho,
just that horrendous segment in the ring.

816
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:45.599
I'd like to forget that even happened. That was fucking terrible. It's all

817
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:49.639
about the Continental Classic. And if
you are enjoying this tournament, if you

818
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:52.719
watch Dynamite, if you watch Collision, if you watch A and W,

819
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:55.599
because you want to see great professional
wrestling, this was the show for you.

820
00:59:55.760 --> 01:00:00.679
This show was geared towards you.
We had some great fun matches on

821
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.599
this show tonight. And if that
meant that some of the other stories took

822
01:00:04.639 --> 01:00:08.320
a back seat, you know what
if for one week, because now we're

823
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:12.679
heading into the kind of you know, towards the end of this tournament here,

824
01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:15.760
we're coming up on that very soon. That's okay with me. If

825
01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:21.000
you throw matches like the matches we
had tonight out there, that's fine with

826
01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:24.559
me. I enjoyed the show.
Boy, If you're not a fan of

827
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:29.599
this tournament, this was not the
show for you because pretty much dominated the

828
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:35.159
entire show. Rampage coming up on
Friday has Orange, Cassidy Ross, and

829
01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:38.119
Marshall Van Eric taking on someone we
don't know who they're going to be in

830
01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:43.000
six man action. Obviously, it's
not very important who their opponents are because

831
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:47.400
they didn't tell us who their opponents
are. I don't believe Collision on Saturday

832
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:52.679
has Androte against Claudio in a tournament
match. We have Eddie Kingston against Daniel

833
01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:55.559
Garcia in a tournament match, and
we have Brian Danielson against Brody Kink please

834
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:01.039
right to the wrestling gods. Let
Brian Danielson make it out of this match

835
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:06.559
a one piece. We're so close
to the Tokyo Dome, so close to

836
01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:10.239
him and Okada, him, and
there were brody king scares me. Let

837
01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:15.000
him make it out of there in
one piece. Dynamite. Next week has

838
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:21.760
John Moxley against j White, Continental
Classic Rouche against Swerve Strickland. Holy shit,

839
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:28.159
sign me up for that. And
Mark Briscoe takes on Jay Lethal The

840
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:31.239
Battle of the Losers, the Battle
of the Loser. Say, hey,

841
01:01:31.360 --> 01:01:35.079
someone's gonna get a win. Actually, you know, it would be fucking

842
01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:38.639
hilarious if Briscoe and Lethal, if
they're the first two to go to a

843
01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:42.639
draw next week, because you would
think, well, at least one of

844
01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:45.320
them is gonna come out of that
match and they're gonna have a win.

845
01:01:46.079 --> 01:01:52.360
Maybe not, Maybe they both lose. Why not, They've lost every other

846
01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:57.000
match, Why should they win next
week? They should both lose. Yeah.

847
01:01:57.039 --> 01:01:59.440
I was thinking about this though.
Just to go back real quick to

848
01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:04.079
the point about up gearing up for
a Moxley Swerve rematch in the semi finals.

849
01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:07.679
I wonder you know, it could
very well be and I'm not even

850
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:12.239
sure if this is possible, But
it could very well be that we get

851
01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:16.360
a triple threat match with Moxley,
Swerve and Jay White if we end up

852
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:21.719
in a situation where they're all tied. But see, then you had ex

853
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:28.360
caliberton I mentioned that if if you
have two men who wrestled previously and they

854
01:02:28.440 --> 01:02:31.079
end up in a tie, whoever
won their previous match is the one who

855
01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:34.840
goes on. So maybe not,
maybe that's not possible. I don't know.

856
01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:38.239
Now I'm confused. Is it possible? I mean, it might be

857
01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:42.480
possible that we can get a three
way, But if not, you know,

858
01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:45.320
either way, we're gonna get Swerve
and we're gonna get Moxley in that

859
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:51.400
semi final match. That much seems
very obvious to me. Here's a Twitter

860
01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:58.159
poll about sixty two percent thumbs up
for Dynamite Tonight, thirty eight percent thumbs

861
01:02:58.239 --> 01:03:02.559
down. That's a good score,
are not a great score? Chime in

862
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:07.840
on x at Solemn Monster and let
me know what you thought of the show.

863
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:12.400
To nice, I'm sure do love
hearing from you. Guys. Were

864
01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:20.039
you a fan of the Continental Classic? I hope so that or you didn't

865
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:27.079
like this show. I was told
there would be no math. Yeah,

866
01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:30.239
I don't like doing math during my
wrestling shows. I'm not a fan of

867
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:39.760
that either. Fire Panda, let's
start with Firepan coming in with twenty bucks.

868
01:03:39.800 --> 01:03:44.280
Fire Panda says, not saying this
because you're my boss, but I

869
01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:50.679
feel like you have created the best
community in the IWC, and God bless

870
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.880
you for it. Well, thank
you very kind of, But Firepan,

871
01:03:55.880 --> 01:04:01.280
I think we have a nice little
community here myself. Also, Oscar versus

872
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:09.559
Ilia would absolutely slap. Do you
agree it would? It would anywhere else

873
01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:12.679
with WWE, because that's the one
place that you're never gonna get it.

874
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:18.880
But I've seen Oscar in the ring
with Minora Suzu, so she could step

875
01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:21.920
in there with Ilia Dragon of no
problem. By the way, uh you

876
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:30.119
mentioned Ilia. There was a photo
that was posted on social media earlier tonight

877
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:32.960
at Willia Dragon of being a stretchered
out of the ring. We had the

878
01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:40.440
NXT tapings tonight the holidays. They're
taping ahead so for next week ago and

879
01:04:40.519 --> 01:04:43.559
he was being stretchered out. Apparently
he was in a match with Bridge Hollywood,

880
01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:48.159
and I didn't have a full update
on what happened or he was really

881
01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:54.599
hurt and then I saw Sean Ross
sat chimed in there's a fightful reporter who's

882
01:04:54.679 --> 01:04:57.519
I guess at the PC for the
taping, and he claims it was all

883
01:04:57.559 --> 01:05:00.159
storyline, So I'm not sure that
may I said that much better to be

884
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.599
honest with you, If they're doing
a storyline where Ridge Holland is dropping people

885
01:05:03.639 --> 01:05:08.280
on their neck and injuring them,
I mean that sounds like a fucking dumb

886
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:13.079
storyline to me. Oh you know
what, if that's a storyline, I'd

887
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:15.519
like, may as well abandon that
storyline because that ain't that ain't that much

888
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:19.920
better? But at least he's not
legitimately. And I saw that picture,

889
01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:23.960
I said, oh my god,
you gotta be kidding, you got you

890
01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:31.880
have to be kidding. Apparently it's
a story. Let's always say our boy

891
01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:41.559
GMB with the two bucks what yeah, uh huh? I like shout out

892
01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:44.920
to Booker T Booker T is a
big fan of that trick. Williams entrance

893
01:05:44.920 --> 01:05:48.719
to me, I can't do it
the way the Booker doesn't. Tux c

894
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:53.239
dot Servo, thank you for the
five bucks. Brother, Fluff Saalsbury,

895
01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:58.760
who do you see winning between the
Golden Jets? And absolutely soft at the

896
01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:02.920
pay per view. I see the
Golden Jets talked about this earlier. I

897
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:06.559
think the play is they win the
tag titles and end up dropping them to

898
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:12.760
Takeshta and Hobbs when the Young Bucks
cost them the belt, because the Young

899
01:06:12.800 --> 01:06:15.320
Bucks could cost them the match at
World's End and then they could retain.

900
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:20.440
But boy, that makes it even
worse when you have Takeshtan Hobbs who aren't

901
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:24.880
doing anything. I mean, they're
not even gonna get a tag team title

902
01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:28.559
match out of it. Then what
the fuck is the point? Omega and

903
01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:30.639
Jericho should at least win the belts
and then drop the belts to them.

904
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:33.559
That at least would make some semblance
of sense. Not that it makes it

905
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:39.360
great, but if they don't win
the belts, then I really don't see

906
01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:43.159
the point of what they're doing with
Takeshtan Hobbs or any of this Kallas family

907
01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:51.480
stuff. Lady fire Panda, let's
say you have your own promotion, the

908
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:57.400
roster being the chat, who are
the top faces and heels and how many

909
01:06:57.440 --> 01:07:01.679
paper I do I'm not gonna get
into the pay per views, and the

910
01:07:01.679 --> 01:07:06.199
commentary team or any of that commentary
team would be uh well, I'm on

911
01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:09.480
the commentary team for House of Glory, so it would be the House of

912
01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:15.199
Glory commentary team top faces and heels. Well, fire Panda has to be

913
01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:23.880
the Baby's obviously clearly is bliss fan
here will make Bliss spanning. Hey,

914
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:29.920
doctor Bropio will be like a tweeter. I think doctor Bropio is kind of

915
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:34.440
He's kind of in the middle.
Where's our boy? Abk? Abk is

916
01:07:34.519 --> 01:07:42.199
like the king of the babys Brian
h the Green Boy, Hello Solo Monster,

917
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:45.840
Hello Green Boy. Please make sure
to tune into your aw Dynamite stream

918
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:49.360
next Wednesdays. I will have a
major announcement, he says in the Tony

919
01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:59.920
Convoys. I love those major announcements. Defined real tired of the Tony Kahn

920
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:03.119
booking. Moxley did not need to
win justice for Swerve. I would say,

921
01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:08.159
be patients because we are going to
get a rematch, and Swerve is

922
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:15.960
going to win the rematch. Abk
is Roman. You know what. Abk

923
01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:20.239
is Roman. ABK doesn't show up
on every street. He only shows up

924
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:25.279
when he feels like showing up.
Then he makes a very big impression.

925
01:08:25.800 --> 01:08:30.199
He's like he's the big star.
He doesn't show up on every show.

926
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:35.600
He's the Roman reigns of our streams. Wild Bird John Moxley is stale as

927
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:49.760
a Quaker, as a what thank
you? Wild Bird also says aw were

928
01:08:49.760 --> 01:08:55.640
doing? Who is wearing? Devil
masked mystery story? NXT hold my beer?

929
01:08:55.800 --> 01:09:00.640
Who attacked Trick Williams mystery story?
There's a reason why rest when companies

930
01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:05.520
do these types of storylines, because
it makes for a good cliffhanger and you

931
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:09.600
can drag it out for months.
It's like who ran down Stone Cold?

932
01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:12.720
Right, It's the same concept.
They've been doing it for decades. This

933
01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:20.000
is nothing new, Jack Lopez,
I finished my first primester. I finished

934
01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:27.880
my first semester. I finished my
first semester in college. Jack, that's

935
01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:33.840
very cool. He finished his first
semester. Well, look, the first

936
01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:36.520
semester can be the hardest one,
right, you gotta get acclimated. I

937
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:40.239
remember my first semester. I didn't
know what I was doing. I didn't

938
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:45.359
know anybody. That could be the
hardest. He finished his first semester,

939
01:09:45.560 --> 01:09:58.399
not his first trimester. Oh Man, Uncanny exp Turn twenty four tonight and

940
01:09:58.520 --> 01:10:00.720
Tonight's show was a good president.
Also, what's with all this? Jack

941
01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:05.159
Perry hate lately. There was a
lot there were a lot of people who

942
01:10:05.159 --> 01:10:10.520
didn't like Jack Perry even before the
CM punk stuff. Some people like him

943
01:10:10.520 --> 01:10:13.720
and some people don't. More people
hate him now because of what happened with

944
01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:18.159
the punk situation. They blame him. Apparently the other person is completely absolved

945
01:10:18.159 --> 01:10:25.279
from responsibility. In their eyes,
it's it's only his fault. That's how

946
01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:31.640
some people see Joey Joe Joe Junior. Happy birthday, by the way,

947
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:36.720
uncanny, Joey says, stuck at
home all week because I have COVID.

948
01:10:36.920 --> 01:10:44.720
I'm sorry to hear that. That
sucks. I've been there, says,

949
01:10:44.960 --> 01:10:47.119
but I was able to watch Dynamite
and this stream live for the first time

950
01:10:47.119 --> 01:10:51.119
in a wild glass half full?
Now is that made of real glass?

951
01:10:51.159 --> 01:10:59.039
That's the question, Joey, feel
better man. Paul Carpenter with five Jericho

952
01:10:59.119 --> 01:11:03.000
can't promo for shit Nowaday so bad
and Omega looks so empty headed. Great

953
01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:11.319
matches though, von Eric's sorry that
happened to you tonight, Joey says,

954
01:11:11.359 --> 01:11:18.479
trust me. Stephanie McMahon is the
devil. Matt view with the ten dollars

955
01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:23.239
super chat thoughts on this idea Swerve
and j White win. Next week,

956
01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:27.399
Swerve, Jay and mox all hold
twelve points. Semis are now a triple

957
01:11:27.439 --> 01:11:31.000
threat, and Swerve wins. White
and Swerve both pick up wins over Aw's

958
01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:38.159
as. I think that's a possibility, but I don't know based on the

959
01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:41.840
rules of the tournament, it might
not be possible. It might be a

960
01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:47.199
case where because Moxley beat Swerve,
everybody ends up being tied. Moxley would

961
01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:50.800
go but not Swerve, so it
would be Moxley. I don't know.

962
01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:55.640
I don't know because that's the first
time I've heard ex Caliber mentioned that on

963
01:11:55.720 --> 01:12:02.800
commentary, so I'm not even sure
if the freeway is possible. Wild Bird,

964
01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:06.640
I've been fined by Brian Danielson for
calling his wife and sister in law

965
01:12:06.840 --> 01:12:17.399
sexy milks. There you go,
Jacob Donnelly with the twenty five dollars super

966
01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:23.439
Chet says, my early holiday gift
to you is bremode no refund, so

967
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:31.199
nice. I had to read it
twice dev to dust. What year was

968
01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:39.840
the mister McMahon character at its best? I mean, the early mister McMahon

969
01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:43.479
I think is best. He just
went completely off the deep end as we

970
01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:47.000
got into the Ruthless Aggression era.
In the era that followed, there was

971
01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:53.880
some really depraved, disturbing segments with
him on TV, probably none more disturbing

972
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:59.319
than the one where he confronted Paul
Hayman in the back and got up in

973
01:12:59.399 --> 01:13:03.520
Paul Hayman's and he went through this
whole dietroup like he had lost his mind.

974
01:13:03.720 --> 01:13:09.880
He said, I want Undertaker's wife
to get raped by a motorcycle gang,

975
01:13:10.039 --> 01:13:14.319
and like this was a real segment
that aired on TV. At that

976
01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:18.199
point, it was just weird.
And the mister McMahon character I think was

977
01:13:18.279 --> 01:13:25.279
best in ninety eight and ninety nine. I think really ninety eight to two

978
01:13:25.359 --> 01:13:29.760
thousand. Ninety eight to two thousand
is probably when I enjoyed that character the

979
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:40.319
most. After that, it just
got ridiculous. Brian Anthony Rivers, by

980
01:13:40.359 --> 01:13:44.880
the way, gifted ten memberships of
Brian Man. Thank you very much,

981
01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:51.520
very kind of you, Prince Begeta. Since the Snowman, Tony Kahan is

982
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:56.159
obviously a giant sting mark, and
you see him being the first member of

983
01:13:56.199 --> 01:13:59.199
the aw Hall of Fame, if
that ever becomes a thing. It's like

984
01:13:59.279 --> 01:14:02.640
he was the first member of the
TNA. One sure yeah, I could

985
01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:08.960
see that, and they're definitely is
gonna be an a w Oliver in the

986
01:14:09.000 --> 01:14:11.600
next I don't even think you're gonna
have to wait that much longer. I

987
01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:17.359
think in the next couple of years, you're gonna have an aw Oliver Arabian

988
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:21.560
Night two thousand. Why have they
cooled Ricky Starks since the start of twenty

989
01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:26.119
twenty three, beating Jericho, feuding
with Punk and Brian and now in a

990
01:14:26.239 --> 01:14:30.680
tag which is odd? You see
him leaving in twenty twenty four. I

991
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:33.960
think Ricky is gonna leave? I
do? I think Ricky Starks. You

992
01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:38.720
know, he's very good friends with
Tody Rhodes. I think he was very

993
01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:41.800
friendly with CM Punk, and now
they're both working for the other company.

994
01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:45.520
I think if I had to say, who do I think one of the

995
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:46.920
next people is going to be to
leave that company? I think it's gonna

996
01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:57.079
be Ricky Becom see clearly with the
five bucks, says Solo, What did

997
01:14:57.119 --> 01:15:01.239
I do with the tribalism? I
like AWW, New Japan, even TNA.

998
01:15:02.159 --> 01:15:05.920
None of these companies are paying us
to just enjoy the products and relis

999
01:15:09.079 --> 01:15:13.399
that is a very good way to
put it. I cannot say it any

1000
01:15:13.399 --> 01:15:19.520
better myself. Tribalism is stupid.
Daniel Malcolm, thank you for the thirty

1001
01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:25.119
five bucks. Nick Frosso, I
don't think Adam Cole is the devil because

1002
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:27.960
he said that he can't stand or
put any weight on the injured leg,

1003
01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:30.680
and anytime we have seen the devil, he seems to be standing just fine

1004
01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:35.520
tonight when he got out of the
car. Yes, but the idea would

1005
01:15:35.520 --> 01:15:40.239
be that he's not as injured as
he has led people to the so that

1006
01:15:40.279 --> 01:15:45.319
doesn't necessarily mean any I don't think
it's himmy and I do believe he is

1007
01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:47.479
seriously hurt. I don't think it's
a put on. You know. One

1008
01:15:47.479 --> 01:15:53.319
of the biggest reasons why I don't
think it's a put on, And if

1009
01:15:53.319 --> 01:15:56.479
you don't really follow him on his
Twitch, you might not understand this.

1010
01:15:56.720 --> 01:16:00.039
I don't follow him religiously on there, but I've watched his Twitch content occasionally,

1011
01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:04.640
and he has his own little community
on and he really tries to keep

1012
01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:10.520
it totally separate from wrestling, and
he's very open and honest with them,

1013
01:16:10.560 --> 01:16:13.760
and I just don't think that he
would just lie to them for a wrestling

1014
01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:18.439
story. I really don't. That's
one of the reasons that I think the

1015
01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:21.359
nature of the injury and how serious
it is and everything, I think it's

1016
01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:25.960
totally on the up and up.
I really don't think the situation where they're

1017
01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:30.319
overplaying it, he's going to be
the devil. I mean, I guess

1018
01:16:30.319 --> 01:16:31.960
it depends how long they dragged the
storyline out for. Oh my god,

1019
01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:35.199
if they drag it out for another
nine months, then it could be him.

1020
01:16:35.359 --> 01:16:42.239
But no, I don't think it's
any Arabian night. I've never seen

1021
01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:45.920
someone who's a generational talent in the
ring. He's so bland and boring on

1022
01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:49.560
the mic for years. Leg Omeke
because he ever had a serious problem,

1023
01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:56.760
I've never heard of that one.
Not saying he hasn't cut one. But

1024
01:16:57.039 --> 01:17:01.079
if you ask me what's my favorite
Kenny Omega pro I don't. Kenny Omega

1025
01:17:01.279 --> 01:17:06.640
is a generational talent. Kenny Omega
is a fantastic in ring worker. He's

1026
01:17:06.680 --> 01:17:13.359
a great professional wrestler. Promos are
not his strong suit. I cannot think

1027
01:17:13.359 --> 01:17:15.840
of a single memorable Kenny Omega promo
that I have ever heard of. My

1028
01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:21.560
Frankly, that's not why I watch
Kenny Omega. I watch Kenny Omega because

1029
01:17:21.600 --> 01:17:25.079
I want to see him go in
there and have banger matching, whether it's

1030
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:29.880
an AW, whether it's a new
Japan. That's why I watch Kenny Omega

1031
01:17:29.880 --> 01:17:32.800
when he is out there on television. But I couldn't name you a single

1032
01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:35.720
Kenny Omega promo that I would recommend
and say, hey, you gotta go

1033
01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:45.800
watch this promo. I can't think
of one wild Bird AW Tag team division

1034
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:56.359
is broken period, not what it
used to be. We've got Joey petitioned

1035
01:17:56.399 --> 01:18:00.800
to get more Tony Storm on commentary. She was quite good. I enjoyed

1036
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:02.840
her on comingry, especially in the
middle of the match when she had the

1037
01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:05.920
camera guy cut to a shot of
her so she could pose in black and

1038
01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:15.720
white. Dan Richards prediction Ironclaw better
than the wrestler. Yeah, I don't

1039
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:23.880
think so. I'll be very surprised
if it is. I have to wait

1040
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:27.479
until I see it, but the
wrestler is going to be very difficult to

1041
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:34.800
time. Daniel, look at this
with the double super chat twenty five then

1042
01:18:34.840 --> 01:18:41.800
the twelve. I hate what I
have to do, math on you thirty

1043
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:44.840
seven bucks right there from Daniel,
Thank you. Actually, here's another five.

1044
01:18:45.319 --> 01:18:50.359
Imagine being married to Renee choosing to
kiss swerve and I thought you all

1045
01:18:50.640 --> 01:19:00.920
don't sports entertain in that company of
fish Daniel again, Daniel's on a roll.

1046
01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:03.680
Here also a Ridge Holland legit injured
Ilia and it's not a word.

1047
01:19:03.680 --> 01:19:06.640
Do you think he should be fired? Keep seeing folks calling for it?

1048
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:11.399
What's say? I'm not going to
call for anybody to be fired when I

1049
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:16.800
don't even know if what happened is
is legitimate not apparently it's a storyline.

1050
01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:23.359
But if it were a situation where
he actually dropped he made a mistake and

1051
01:19:23.479 --> 01:19:26.760
dropped this man on his head,
then I think it's time to get him

1052
01:19:26.760 --> 01:19:29.359
out of the ring. At that
point, I mean, at some point

1053
01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:32.039
you have to say it up is
enough. So if it was a real

1054
01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:35.560
thing and it was on him and
he dropped the guy in his head,

1055
01:19:36.159 --> 01:19:40.920
this would be what the third time, fourth time that there was a situation

1056
01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:46.920
like this. Get him out of
the ring. It's that simple. Joey

1057
01:19:47.159 --> 01:19:50.960
zach Efron is the devil. The
Iron Claw was a secret way for him

1058
01:19:50.960 --> 01:19:56.159
to train before his debut. The
von Erics are also two of the masked

1059
01:19:56.279 --> 01:20:01.880
men. That's interesting on Eric's or
two of the mass men. I hadn't

1060
01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:08.720
thought about that. I don't think
so, but I suppose anything is possible.

1061
01:20:10.720 --> 01:20:13.560
By the way, we're around three
hundred and forty or so like,

1062
01:20:13.640 --> 01:20:16.319
so we are way behind the goal. So it is not looking good.

1063
01:20:16.960 --> 01:20:19.359
I got to get those likes in
if he wants them to be the bookman.

1064
01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:25.319
Barry says, what did you think
of Amy Weber? I didn't think

1065
01:20:25.319 --> 01:20:30.439
anything of Amy Weber. She came
and she left. She was a pretty

1066
01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:32.039
face in the crowd, and that's
it. I couldn't tell you anything else

1067
01:20:32.079 --> 01:20:34.680
I remember about her. She didn't
do anything that stood out to me.

1068
01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:42.239
Came and she went. That was
it. Rizzo, Lady fireped and solo.

1069
01:20:42.319 --> 01:20:45.000
After my day at work today,
I would be a here because,

1070
01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:48.119
like punk, I worked with children, and I was very tempted to punch

1071
01:20:48.159 --> 01:20:53.399
some coworkers. I need the money, though, so I will just bent

1072
01:20:53.520 --> 01:21:02.640
to you need the money eight ten
dollars. Well, Rizzo, I'm sorry

1073
01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:10.119
you work with children. I wish
I had some advice for you. I

1074
01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:16.760
don't want you to lose your job. And Joey with the three bucks,

1075
01:21:18.600 --> 01:21:23.760
would we ever get a live stream
or a sound off with you and Chris

1076
01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:30.079
VanVleet, Never say never. I
did Chris's show during the pandemic when everybody

1077
01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:34.520
was still kind of lockdown, So
I guess it was two years ago at

1078
01:21:34.520 --> 01:21:41.000
this point. He had me on
his show and I enjoyed it, got

1079
01:21:41.039 --> 01:21:43.600
a great response. We were trying
to make that happen for a while,

1080
01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:48.359
but you never know, you never
know, never say never. I'm open

1081
01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:55.079
to it. Chris a good guy. Count Chris is a friend. He's

1082
01:21:55.079 --> 01:22:00.680
a good guy. Thank you for
the super check. I love tonight.

1083
01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:04.960
I very much appreciate it. Next
time I'm going to be Live with You

1084
01:22:05.319 --> 01:22:13.199
is going to be on Friday for
SmackDown, and that will be I'm trying

1085
01:22:13.199 --> 01:22:15.760
to think because WWE is going to
be taping some shows for the holidays,

1086
01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:18.199
I'm not quite sure what their schedule
is going to be. And I know

1087
01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:23.600
we have another week before we get
to Christmas week, so we'll wait and

1088
01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:25.960
see. I'm not sure exactly what
their taping schedule is going to be.

1089
01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:30.079
I know they're giving the talent off. I think is it the week before

1090
01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:32.279
Christmas? I believe might be from
the nineteen to the twenty fifth. I

1091
01:22:32.279 --> 01:22:35.880
don't think they have any shows,
so I think they're giving the roster some

1092
01:22:35.960 --> 01:22:43.800
time off, but we'll see if
they do some kind of recap shows or

1093
01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:46.359
I'm hoping not. I mean I'm
hoping we actually get first run shows,

1094
01:22:46.399 --> 01:22:51.399
even if they have to tape them
in advance. As long as we get

1095
01:22:51.439 --> 01:22:56.439
regular shows, I'll be here the
Winston Slip. What are your thoughts on

1096
01:22:56.520 --> 01:23:00.319
Jericho's legacy so far? I mean, look, I mean, his legacy

1097
01:23:00.359 --> 01:23:03.760
speaks for itself. You know,
you can't argue with the success that the

1098
01:23:03.800 --> 01:23:09.960
guy has had in all of these
different promotions. And he's had success in

1099
01:23:10.039 --> 01:23:13.760
all of these different promotions and the
match he had in New Japan, that

1100
01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:15.960
kind of it really, in many
ways is what led to the creation of

1101
01:23:16.000 --> 01:23:20.720
aw is that Russell Kingdom of ch
against Kenny Omega, all the people he's

1102
01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:26.039
worked with, all the titles he's
won. Whether you like the guy or

1103
01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:30.840
not, I mean, his legacy
he'll go down is one of the one

1104
01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:35.960
of the goats. Can't argue with
success. The body of work that he

1105
01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:45.000
has put together is Hall of Fame
worthy. D H. Sires Punk is

1106
01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:55.319
coming for Seawn's job. I did
see that. Supposedly Punk Punk I'm not

1107
01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:59.880
even sure why this is coming out
now. Supposedly Punk has this idea that

1108
01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:05.439
one day he could take over for
Seawn Michaels and run an XT. Sean

1109
01:24:05.520 --> 01:24:10.479
Michael is now going to be looking
over his shoulder. Sean Michaels was so

1110
01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:13.920
happy to have ceampunk back in WWE. He's gonna start reading these reports and

1111
01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:17.159
he might not be so happy anymore. He's going to be looking over his

1112
01:24:17.239 --> 01:24:21.840
shoulder. And so no'll be the
booker tonight. We'll have to wait until

1113
01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:26.279
Friday. So until then, I
will see you back here on Friday night

1114
01:24:26.760 --> 01:24:31.600
for the SmackDown recap live on YouTube. I expect to see you back here

1115
01:24:32.479 --> 01:24:34.479
until then. Take care, guys,
