Tonight, AEW presented it's Blood and Guts twenty twenty three edition. They were
live in Boston. It was the Golden Elite on one side, the Blackpool
Combat Club on the other. These two teams, these two factions have been
feuding, They have been at war now for months, and this was meant
to be assumed the big blowoff between the two sides. But also not only
wasn't Blood and Guts, but it was the debut of Kota Ibushi after all
these years of wondering when or if we would ever see him, and of
course he had the falling out with New Japan. He's been out with an
injury for so long. We got to see Kota Ibushi tonight in an aw
ring for the very first time and reunited with Kenny Omega. We had a
hot crowd in Boston who honestly were hot for all the key things on the
show tonight, Blood and Guts obviously being the main event. It took up
the entire last hour of the show and nearly went a full hour itself.
The Elite get the win in the end. The Baby Basis stand tall.
We had Pack, we had Cano Skate to Keshta teaming up with the BCC
walking out on them before the end of the match, and ultimately it was
poor Wheeler Utah. Poor Wheeler Utah was left to die at the very end.
John Moxley, handcuffed to the rope, couldn't do anything about it,
and the baby Faces celebrate what was a very bloody win at the end of
a match that has the word blood in it. Now, we see a
lot of blood on AW television. We see John Moxley bleed in almost every
single match that he's in, so seeing blood on AW television is not really
a big deal because we see so much of it. But when you're advertising
a blood and guts match, people have certain expectations for what that is supposed
to be, and there are people who want the violence and the gore,
and they want to just keep upping the gore factor in these matches. There
was nothing they did in this match tonight that would make you go, oh
my god, that is so violent. I've never seen something like that before.
I actually think they were They were smarter and the things they did as
far as a lot of the crazy spots that you would expect in a match
like this, but there were some really clever ones. For example, there
was one point in the match where Matt Jackson, and we'll get into the
specifics a little bit later on, but Matt Jackson, we had people on
top of the cage and there was no big bump off the cage or a
big fall or a big dive or anything like that. But you know him
something as simple as him opening or turning upside down rather a bag of thumb
tax and pouring the tax down and having the tax litter the ring down below.
I like that there was another spot where pack was hanging, he did
a double stomp. He let himself go, did a double stomp through one
of the young bucks on a table. So I think the spots that they
did in some cases were more creative and more clever than maybe we've seen in
these matches before. But when a was over, you know, I enjoyed
it for what it was. I don't know that it was the best Blood
and Guts they've done. I kind of feel like last year maybe it was
a little bit better. But I thought Blood and Guts delivered exactly what AW
delivered, exactly what they said they would deliver, exactly what they promised.
They promised you a lot of violence and a lot of blood, and that's
exactly what they gave the crowd. Tonight we also had the finals of the
Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament, m JF and Adam Cole as tag team partners
taking on Sammy Gavara and Daniel Garcia, with the winners going on to get
a shot at the AW Tag Team Championship. Tony Kahn has lucked into something
here with MJF and Adam Cole that I don't think he was expecting going in.
I don't know that a lot of us honestly expected this to be as
entertaining as it has been, to the point where people are hoping that this
goes on for an extended period of time. I don't think Tony Kann is
going to deviate from whatever his existing plans were for this story with these two,
so I do think that will wrap up sooner rather than later. And
what they did tonight was they already started planning the seeds of dissension between the
two of them. But of course would they win and go on to actually
wrestle FTR for the tag team titles. We're going to talk about that and
the FTW Championship, which is not officially sanctioned by AW. They have a
lot of titles. That is officially not one of them, but it was
on the line tonight. We had Hook who came into the show undefeated.
Undefeated Hook coming into the show tonight defending against jungle Boy Jack Perry, who
officially has shed the skin of jungle Boy. Not only did he shed the
skin of jungle Boy, he basically murdered jungle Boy. Jungle Boy is dead
after what we saw tonight, and we have a new FTW champion. So
even though they gave the entire last hour to blooding Guts, which meant that
there wasn't a whole lot of other stuff on the show tonight, I enjoyed
what they gave us because I enjoy the opening match, I enjoyed the tag
team match, and I enjoyed blood and Guts. That there was a lot
of stuff in between. They had some more Chris Jericho segments showing him and
Don Callous together. There were a couple of backstage segments, but those were
the key things on the show. I thought all of the key stuff delivered
what turned out to be a very strong episode of Dynamite in front of a
very hot crowd in Boston at the TV Garden Arena. This is your aw
Dynamite review for Wednesday, July nineteen, two thousand and twenty three. I
am the solom Monster. Thank you for joining me here on a Wednesday night.
A little bit of news here before we get into the actual show tonight.
One of the people who was supposed to be I'm sure and would have
been in Blood and Guts tonight, but was not. I was sitting at
home watching on television, was the American Dragon Brian Danielson. Brian Danielson was
not there tonight. And the reason that Brian Danielsson was not there tonight,
really the story can be told here from this image right here. I want
to read this to you here while I just summarize the tweet. Basically,
he posted a tweet earlier this afternoon before the show went on the air,
with this image on your screen. Obviously this is an X ray, and
he tweeted before the show that he got surgery on his broken arm two weeks
ago and as part of this surgery they implanted a steel rod and nine screws.
You can see there. You can see the rod on your screen.
He is the Bionic Man now is Brian Daniels. He said the surgery went
well. He's officially on the road to recovery. There's no timetable. He
didn't mention anything about when he might be back, but you know, he
broke his arm and it was more serious than initially believed. And he said
at the media scrum after the last pay per view for Remember after Forbidden Door,
that they were kind of hoping maybe in six to eight weeks that it
wasn't that bad, six to eight weeks could be back, only to find
out that it was a lot worse than they originally feared. So if eight
weeks was the conservative timetable, then I think it's safe to say that Wembley
is out of the question. So anybody wondering if Brian Danielson will make a
miraculous recovery for Wembley at all in Chicago would all out the answer is no,
And that picture on your screen right there is the reason why. So
for those who don't know, of course, he broke his arm with ten
minutes left in the match with Okada Forbidden Door. Okada came off the top
rope with a diving elbow drop and Danielson said that it was his fault,
his arm. You know, he was in the wrong position, but Okada
landed and he broke his arm. And this fucker wrestled for another ten minutes
and he won the match, only to find out afterwards that he broke his
arm. So that's what happened there. He's been pretty beat up, you
know, Brian Danielson has been pretty beaten up this year. If you remember,
I think he tore his laboram in the match that he with mjfter Revolution.
They had that sixty minute Iron Man match, and we didn't know it
at the time, but he tore his labor m in that match, and
I was wondering, you know, the whole period really between Revolution and Double
or nothing. I don't know that he wrestled a single match, and I
was wondering, as he hurt, what's going on here? And now we
know why he had a torn labor coming out of that match. So right
now, the most important thing is for him to heal up, is for
him to get better. And look, I don't know exactly how long he'll
be out for, but I'm sure that he can make it back in time.
I don't know January sounds about right. That rematch with Okada at the
Tokyo Dome. I think Okada has a receipt coming after what he did here,
So with any luck, we may get that rematch, hopefully at the
beginning of the year. But all the best of Brian Danielson. Hopefully we'll
have him back soon enough. So we had the double ring war games set
up for this show because they had the two rings and the giant cage above
it show open. The cage was raised, but we had the two rings
side by side. Dynamite opened with Tarzan Boy by Baltimore, which was a
little suspect because if you remember the last time we saw Jungle Boy on that
first Dynamite after the heel turn if from Bidden Door, they played the music
and he had come out to that music and he said, you will not
I hope you enjoyed it, because you're never going to hear it again.
I will never be coming out to this music again. And yet here it
is right there playing Tarzan Boy, but there's no Jungle Boy. It played
his music and nobody came out. So the lights in the arena went out
and they cut to a video which was filmed somewhere in the desert, and
we see Jack Perry and he's dragging someone who we are supposed to think is
Jungle Boy, his alter ego. Now always see are a pair of Jungle
Boy boots. We don't see who the person is, but we the Jungle
Boys boots. He is dragging this body through the desert, and he drags
the body into a shallow grave and he begins shoveling dirt on top of this
person. So Jungle Boy is officially dead and buried. May he rest in
peace? Which is kind of strange, right because he had that match with
Christian Cage where he buried Christian. But now Jungle Boys officially dead and buried.
So suddenly he's still in the desert in the middle of nowhere. All
of a sudden, we see a limousine, long stretched limousine pulled up right
alongside him. He opens the back door, but maybe Anna j who was
going to pop out of there, but nobody in the limo. But he
gets into the limousine, closes the door behind him, and the limo pulls
away. Said this fucking guy, he took a limo from the deserts all
the way to Boston. Must have taken him all week back live. He
entered to his brand new theme song. They had. They had Jack Perry
entering to Beethoven's Symphony number five, Beethoven's fifth Beethoven is all elite. This
is his new theme music. Yeah, I kind of feel like, if
he's going to enter to that song, he ought to be coming out with.
I mean, I like Hollywood Jack Perry and him with the leather jacket
and all that kind of stuff. But almost feel like, if you're going
to enter to this kind of song, you should be coming out there with
like a Bobby Rude type of robe on. But you know, this is
all a work in progress here. I'm sure in due time he'll he'll fine
tune the entrance. But he came out there, he was rocking the full
beard, and now he was at the heel beard going on right, So
he's got the full beard. Now he comes to ringside, isn't before hook
comes out and he gets up in some little kid's face, a little kid
in the front row who was smiling. He's almost laughing at him. And
he gets up in this little kid's and he tried to make him flinch.
It did not work. He tried to make him flinch. He went like
that, and the kid just stared at him with a big smile on his
face. So I guess Jungle Boy, even to the younger fans, Jungle
Boy is not exactly the most intimidating person in the world. So he's got
to put about fifteen or twenty pounds of muscle and maybe he can get the
kids to start flinching. In this case, it didn't work. So he
was out there. He was wrestling. If you're wondering what his ring attire
is now, he's out there wrestling in leather pants and black boots. That's
when he was wrestling. In tonight, Hook comes out. Hook was having
his way with Perry early on, beating him up outside the ring. Eventually,
Jungle Boy got the advantage heading into the picture and picture break, and
he was maintaining control throughout the break. Coming out of the break, they
ended up on the ring apron and Hook reversed out of a move and he
delivered a tea bone and he supplexes Jack Perry off the apron onto the floor.
On his way down, Perry's foot clipped the cameraman. This was not
a good night to be a cameraman in aw as we'll talk about later on
during the blood and guts manage. It might have been the same camera,
guys, a matter of fact, so he kind of clipped the camera on
the way down, But yeah, he didn't destroy it or anything. Jungle
Boy came back, though, he nailed a draping DDT to Hook on the
floor. Back in the ring, deadlift German by Perry. Hook pops right
back up, crowd pops. Hook hits a high bridge German supplex of his
own, gets a close near fall out of it. Hook then hit a
second one for a second time. Perry kicked out. Hook maintained control as
they got up, but Perry grabs referee Paul Turner to distract him. And
while he grabs Paul Turner, he lifts his leg and delivers a low blow
to Hook, which of course Paul Turner, who just got grabbed, did
not see. So there's the low blow to Hook. So then he hits
the ropes. Jungle Boy does I think? I think Hook may have been
down on his knees. Jungle Boy still call him jungle Bow. We'll call
him Jack. Jack hits the Rope's gonna take me a while to get used
to this, Jack hits the ropes, he comes off, he delivers an
elbow strike to the back of the head. You know, I have one
thing I have to say. I just talked about this on the podcast on
Sunday, this leaked memo, which Tony Kan has admitted as a real thing
he was asked about. I forgot what show he was on, or it
might have been on The Death Before dishonor they had a media call yesterday.
So doesn't deny the existence of the memo. He was kind of downplaying it
and saying, oh no, it was really more for referees. It was
kind of like guidelines for referees and officials. So this is a real thing
that exists. But I talked about this leaked memo with moves and certain things
that are either outright banned now by aw or you have to explicitly get permission
to you certain maneuvers has to be approved by either a producer, well the
producer and the medical staff in the company. On this show alone tonight,
I feel like almost every single rule is basically just thrown out the window.
I guess they got permission for all of it, because I know in there
they had strikes to the back of the head. Here we had a strike
to the back of the head in the Blood and Guts match. Forget about
it. I mean, they were breaking rules left and right, but I
guess you had to expect that given the nature of that main event. Anyway,
he delivers an elbow to the back of Hook's head. Looked like he
might have them, but Hook kicked out at the very last second. So
Perry goes to the floor and he grabs the FTW title and he brings the
FTW title belt into the ring. But they made it very clear this is
not an FTW rules match, which I mean, if it's an FTW title
match, why would it not be contested under FTW rules. That's just stupid.
So the referee tried to stop him because again it's it's not legal.
It's not allowed. You can't hit your opponent with the belt. He tries
to stop him. Paul Turner ends up getting squashed in the corner, so
we got a ref bump. He goes down Hook then takes Jack down with
an overhead suplex and he covers him and he's got the visual pin and everyone
in the crowd is counting along one, two, three, counted all the
way up to seven, no referee, So Hook goes over to try to
wake up Paul Turner. Held then walks back over to Jack, who picked
up the FTW title. He turns around and he clabers him with him.
He blasts him with the FTW title and knocks him out. He covers Hook.
Here comes Paul Turner crawling over to make the count, and the camera
got this great shot out of Jungle Boy's face and he had the greatest smirk,
the greatest like shit eating grin on his face that you will ever see,
smiling as the referee counts the one, two three, and just like
that, Jack Perry has ended the undefeated streak of Hook and Jack now becomes
the sixth man ever to hold the FTW Championship. Taz is on commentary.
He's on the obviously the announced team for Dynamite, and Tas was too angry
to speak now when they did the turn originally a forbidden door. I mentioned,
you know at that time that Taz the weight has sold it. That
night added so much to the turn, and it was just pitch perfect because
Tas always seems like an angry guy anyway, he built his whole career on
walking around pissed off and angry at the world about everything, everything, anything,
even on social media. He goes at he snaps at people, so
you can buy into the fact that Taz is just a really yeah, he's
always in a bad mood. Doesn't take much to piss him off. So
they cut back to the announcers and Taz he was too angry to speak,
but he did say that this is not over. He made that very clear.
He knows Hook. He said this is not over, and it is
definitely not. I will say this, This was the best match of Hook's
career so far. Hook has had not had that many matches. We've seen
him in some tag matches. They did the whole Hook housing thing for a
while with him in Dan housing, which was kind of entertaining. This here
tonight against Jungle Boy. This was the best match of his career so far,
and it was also a win that Jack needed to establish the new healed
persona. I mean, this was the first night where he was in full
on, you know, kind of like Hollywood Jack, heel mode, new
music, whole new entrance, new gear. He couldn't go in there tonight,
loose he had to go in there and win. Now he cheated to
do so, which protects Hook in the process. Yes, Hook lost his
first match, but it took Jungle Boy cheating to get the job done.
So this was an important win for Jack Perry and in the process he won
a title. He won his second title ever, even if it's not officially
recognized one. He won the championship. So I do think, you know,
with the whole heel presentation, they'll tweak it, you know, he'll
he'll he'll tweak it. They'll probably be other little changes to it, whether
it's you know, his gear or certain things maybe that he does during his
entrance. It's a work in progress, you know. Again, he just
turned heel and I was saying for the longest time that he was due for
a heel turn. It was it was time for him to get away from
the loincloth and the jungle boy stuff. You know, Lucasaurus is still walking
around wearing the fucking dinosaur mask. But he went. He'll right, he's
TNT champion right now, or I guess Christian is the TNT champion, the
surrogate champion. But Jungle Boy was not attached to Lucasaurus anymore. There's no
more Lucasaurus. There's no there's no more Marcos stunt. That part of his
career is over. It was time for him to evolve. He can't be
jungle boy for your entire career. So the boy became a man. Now
he's a heel. He's doing his own thing. I said, the only
way we're gonna find out if this is gonna work, and how good of
a promo he is, Kenny Cutty heel promo. Turn him heel and find
out. It's the only way to find out. Right, he's one of
the young stars in this company. I'm sure that Tony Kunna looks at it
has high hopes for for the future. It was time for a change.
So far, I think he's done a good job, but it's still very
early in this process. This was a big leap for him, right,
He's got his own feud now, Hook, who was doing nothing for months
now has a personal issue with somebody on the roster. We get to see
more of him as well. And he's more inexperienced than Jungle Boys. You
know, he's still very greed in many ways. But I like the fact
that they have these two working together, and you know, as far as
the music, the musical takes them getting used to. I don't hate it.
I don't hate the new music. It'll take them getting used to.
But that's smirk at the very end of the match. I just thought that
was that was pitch perfect. And we have a brand new FTW Champion footage
air then from earlier in the day of Alex Marvez directing a cameraman to film
a lunch date that Don Callis and Chris Jericho were having and there was a
security guard standing by who caught wind of them. He went over to them
to get them to stop filming. We got a new video, a new
bonding video involving MJF, the AW World Champion, and Adam Cole in advance
of their tag team Eliminator final later on in the show. This was filmed
from last night. We were told Adam Cole took MJF to Kowloon. Kowloon
is a popular Chinese restaurant in Boston. Actually technically it's in Saugust in Massachusetts,
but popular Chinese restaurantal I know a lot of the wrestlers have talked about
it before they go there. Very often when they're in Boston. It's a
popular destination for wrestlers when they are in town. It would be a popular
destination for me too, because I fucking love Chinese food. I've never been
to Kowloon, but I look forward one day. I hope to go there.
I want to see what all the fuss is about. Anyway, they
went into the Chinese restaurant and they're at the table. MJF is regaling Adam
Cole with tales of last week's match against Brian Cage and Big Bill, and
he was telling Adam Cole about picking up the six hundred and eighty five pound
Big Bill for a big body slam in front of ninety five thousand screaming fans
and the Saskatoon Silver Dome. Brother Adam Cole said, Max, none of
that actually happened. You're making that up. So the waiter comes over and
he brings some spicy food. I don't know if it was I don't know
what the dish was, some kind of chicken dish, but apparently it was
spicy. So they both have the food. They couldn't handle the spice.
They start guzzling drinks. MJF tells the waiter that tastes a little funny,
and the waiter tells him that it was one hundred percent alcohol. So now
we cut to both men. They're drunk. Cole said, the waiter looks
like Sammy Gavara. MJF says no, no, no, he looks like
Daniel Garcia. So they agreed that the only thing left to do was the
double clothesline, and we got a parting shot of the two of them in
slow motion charging towards this poor waiter who just looks on in terror as these
two men are are coming at him with a double clothesline. But before we
actually see the double clothesline, we cut to black and we never do get
to see it. That is the end of the sign we had Missus Adam
Cole. I guess they're not married, so technically she's not Missus Adam Cole.
But Britt Baker was an action on the show. She went one on
one with Kalas Sparks. Was it the Kung Pou? I wasn't sure if
it was the kung pound chicken. Okay, maybe maybe it was the kung
pou. I've never had kung pouchick. I don't do the super spicy dishes.
When it comes to Chinese, I keep it very simple. Chicken and
broccoli, chicken and shrimp. So maybe it was the kung pound. Britt
Baker against Kalas Sparks. Britt hit a sling blade and then one very quickly
with lockjaw. That's it. I just told her. The entire match,
there was one move in there. I think the Kalas Sparks may have reversed
out of the first locked draw attempt, but that was it. Sling blade,
lockjaw. Thanks for coming, Britt Baker picks up the wind. This
was a quick spotlight match, spotlight win for Britt Baker, nothing more,
nothing less. You know, brick up bounced out of the opening round of
the Owen Heart Tournament, so this was their way of getting her back in
the win column after her loss to Ruby Soho Renee was backstage with Adam Cole
and MJF and MJF revealed that he had a surprise for Adam Cole. Let
me just put my belt down. He goes off camera. He comes back.
He presents Adam with a pair of matching tights. He got matching tights
for them, and Adam Cole says well, so matter of fact, I
got something too, And it turns out that he bought them matching jackets.
So they're all ready to go. They got matching jackets, they got matching
tights. Cole said that he had one more surprise for m JF, but
he was gonna have to wait and find out what that was. And after
they walked away, all of a sudden, Roderick Strong shows up in his
neck brace looking for Adam Cole just missed them. So then it was time
for MJF and Adam Cole tag team Partners. This was the finals of the
Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament. They beat Brian Cage and Big Bill last week.
They wanted to win the entire thing, they still had to get past
Sammy Gavara and Daniel Garcia. Frankly, I think Brian Cage and Big Bill
would be a tougher challenge than Sammy Gavar and Daniel Garcia. They already beat
them last week. Chris Jericho got his own entrance. He came out,
he took a seat next to the announcers do commentary. He said that he
and Don Callis, who were shown entering the building a few segments before this,
we're still negotiating, so we still don't have an answer about whether or
not he will take Don up on his invitation to join the Don Callis family.
So MJF came out at first for his team and they started playing the
theme song again, his theme song, and he looks into the camera and
he says, they're playing the wrong theme song. I'm already out here.
It's like, why why are you playing my theme song for it should be
playing Adam Cole's theme song. But as it turns out, it was a
theme mashup of the two. So it was a brand new mashup of Mjf's
song and Adam Cole's song. That was the big surprise. So when he
heard this and Adam Cole comes out, MJF hears this, and he is
he is just giddy with excitement, and he runs over and he picks up
Adam Cole. He's twirling them around and he's happy as can be. And
I will say, you know, sometimes these mashups sound terrible. Wwe Is,
for example, has had some fucking awful theme song mashups over the years.
This one's actually really good. They did a really good job on this.
Idam it was Mikey Ruckis or who it was, but whoever put this
together, this is a really good mashup of the two theme songs, I
thought. So they get in the ring, they do their whole entrance,
and the referee wanted a call for the bell, but Daniel Garcia comes over
and he stops the referee from starting the match, and he did his stupid
little disco dance that he does, which the people are cheering for now,
so he does his sports entertainment dance. MJF does the same thing back to
him. So now we have these two dancing off against each other. So
finally MJF says, you want to do a dance off, we'll do dance
off, and he leaves the ring and he goes over by where the timekeeper
area is. He pushes I guess some kind of production button and they start
playing this random music and he gets back into the ring and Sammy Gavar and
Daniel Garcia they go first. So we are supposed to have the finals of
this tournament year and instead it is now turned into a dance of I had
a check to make sure I wasn't watching Monday Night Raw. How many times
have we seen this kind of segment on WWE television. This was weird.
We don't use I mean, look, we got some silly shit in aw
don't get me wrong, but this was right out of the WWE playbook here,
So this could either be really good or this could be really bad.
So Sammy and Daniel Garcia, they danced first, and they were in half
bed. MJF follows suit after them, and he's a dancing fool in the
ring. Adam Cole's on the apron, he's just watching on He's bewildered by
all this. So MJF then points to Cole, and Adam Cole gets in
the ring and I I don't think I would not consider myself to be a
very good dance After watching Adam Cole and whatever whatever it was that he was
doing in the ring tonight, I actually think I'm not that bad. He
was doing these these weird pelvic throw I mean, if he was in a
club somewhere or a bar and he was on the dance floor doing this,
I would think he was sexually harassing somebody. So he's doing these really violent
like pelvic thrusts, and we hear the record scratch sound. So the music
ends, MJF said, cut the music, and thankfully he stopped him from
his horrible dancing. Garcia and Gavar they attack Cole and MJF from behind to
officially start the match. Let's just get this out of the way first.
Yes, this was a total WWE style segment. This was This was your
typical WWE sports entertainment type segment that you either like or you really really hate.
And I've seen some horrible segments like that before, but we don't.
We don't see this very often in aw and just considering who was involved here,
because I've really been enjoying the Adam Cole MJF stuff. So they did
a good job. It was goofy, but the crowd ate it up,
so for what they're doing, it worked. But thankfully the dancing was over
and now we can get to the wrestling part, so we got some more
comedy spots. MJF was isolated the whole commercial break before falling headfirst into Sammy
Gavar's groin, so he did that delayed spot where Sammy's down, He's standing
up trying not to fall down. Finally he does and his head goes into
his crutch, so MJF then dodged a double clothes line. He made the
hot tag to Adam Cole, who dropped Garcia with a series of superkicks,
but he missed the Panama Sunrise. Cole and MJF then signaled for the double
clothes line. They have been building this thing now for weeks. They have
been getting people to want to see this double clothes line. MJF got people
to cheer for a body slam last week like he had just hit a destroyer
from the top of the fucking cage and blooding uts. So they'd been teasing
and building out this this double clothesline spot now for the last few weeks,
and they were going to try for it instead, though Sammy ducked it and
he got both of them. He caught both of them and did a standing
Spanish fly double Spanish fly. MJF then dodged a supercutter off the top Sammy
tried for He fell backwards, but he caught him. Instead of going down
with the cutter, MJF was gonna go for Crossroads. Of course, I
gotta show some love for his mentor, Cody. I wonder if Cody invited
him to the premiere of his documentary, Cody. Cody just had the premiere
of the world premiere of his documentary. It was yesterday in Atlanta, and
I wonder if MJF got it. I'm sure he wasn't there, but I
wonder if MJF got an invitation. Maybe maybe he snuck in in disguise.
I don't know, because you know they still talk. You know they still
talk, you know they still text. Cody's like, come come, the
grass is greener. So he tried for Crossroads but did not get it.
Gavarro avoided it. Cole made a blind tag. Garcia hit a double chop
block and sank in the dragon slayer on Cole, who got to the ropes.
Garcia got backdropped to the floor onto Sammy, and then Adam Cole tells
MJF it's time. He wanted MJF to do a dive out of the ring
onto the heels and the floor. And as you all know, MJF does
not do dives. He just doesn't do it. He plays it very safe.
You will not see him doing crazy moves off the top rope. He's
not going to do four fifties. He's not gonna do flying sentns he's not
gonna dive, He's not gonna do any of this bullshit. But now the
peer pressure is getting to him, and he looks conflicted in you know,
in the ring, and he kind of looks like he's he's hesitating. But
the crowd wanted it badly. And then he gave the people what they wanted,
because at least for a few more weeks, we have Babyface MJF.
It's not gonna last very long, but we have baby Face MJF. And
he gives the people what they want, and he hit a suicide dive out
to the floor. He took out Sammy, he took out Daniel Garcia,
and the people lost their minds. Chris Jericho on commentary said that there has
not been a crowd reaction like that for a topay since nineteen ninety two.
He's probably not wrong. These people went nuts. So back inside, Cole
hit the Panama Sunrise on Garcia and we got loud chance of double clothesline.
These people wanted to see the double clothes line in the worst way possible.
He tagged him JF and they finally hit the double clothesline and they were rewarded
with a monster reaction, and even better, not only did they hit the
double clothesline, but MJF covered Garcia and he got the one two three.
So they built, and they built, and they built to this spot.
They did it, and we didn't get a fucking kickout. At the very
last second, he pinned him with the double clothesline. I like that.
And you might say, oh my god, it makes him look stupid for
being pinned with a simple double clothesline. I like it. I like the
fact that they won with that. So the crowd reaction for this was insane.
Again, it's funny when you tease something for weeks and weeks and then
you pay it off. That's the kind of reaction that you hope to get.
And this was just fun. This was a ton of fun. I
enjoyed this. Jericho got up from the announced desk and he was trying to
cheer up Sammy and Daniel as they were coming back up the ramp, but
both men walked right past them, very similar to the way Jake Hager walked
away from Jericho last week when he handed him his stupid purple bucket hat and
he walked away from him. So these two walked away from Jericho as well.
That should make Jericho think a little bit more before he makes that decision
whatever it is that he's going to do with Don Callis, because he's got
all of his all of his comrades are walking away from him. So not
only did they plant more seeds of dissension between Jericho and his crew, but
after the match, Adam Cole took the Big Burberry belt from the referee.
He was going to hand it over to MJF, but he's staring down at
the championship and MJF turns around that he sees Adam Cole with his title in
his hand, staring at him long like he's longing for it right and this
upsets MJF a great deal. He gets very upset he snatched the title away
from Cole. He's questioning, why are you looking at the belt like that?
What are you doing? He shoved Adam Cole. Cole tried to calm
him down and explain that he was going to hand it to you. We
just won the match. We're gonna be wrestling for the tag team titles.
I was going to hand the title to you right now, and they ended
up hugging. But when Cole turned around to go pose on the ropes.
Mjf smile turned into a very serious look and he was eyeballing Adam Cole.
So even though they just won the tournament, they're also now not only Jericho
and his crew, but they are sewing the seeds of dissension now between Adam
Cole and MJF, which is something that everybody expects. We just don't know
when they're going to pull the trigger on the old like who's going to turn
on who and when. So they planted those seeds tonight with these two as
well. So what they did here is basically they forwarded two stories in one
segment, the Cole and MJF story and the Jericho story, two different stories.
They were able to move forward here in this one segment. So FTRS
music hits. We were not expecting them. They were not advert ties for
the show tonight. They are coming off one of the greatest matches in aw
history, two out of three falls, but the tag team titles on Collision
last week. They went nearly an hour fifty eight minutes of tag team excellence
between FTR and Bullet Club Gold, one of the best matches that you will
ever see. And now here they are, They know their opponents who they're
going to be. In a couple of weeks on Collision Das Harwood Cash Wheeler,
they come down to the ring for a faceoff with Cole and MJF,
and the match will take place on the July twenty ninth episode of Collision.
They're going to be in Connecticut. They're going to be in Hartford, and
it will be for the aw tag team titles. It'll be FTR defending against
Adam Cole and MJF. And the question is do they or do they not
pull the trigger on a title change. I am one of those people who
has very much been enjoying the interplay between Cole and MJF. I'd like to
see it go on for a while longer, but there is an end date
for They have two huge shows coming up at the end of next month August
twenty seventh, they're gonna have their biggest show ever, eighty thousand people at
Wembley Stadium. You might be able to get away with having your world champion
in a tag team match on that show, because you know they're gonna load
the show up, probably with a bunch of other marquee matches. So you
could get away with MJF and Adam Cole at Wembley in a tag team match,
provided that they shoot some big angle at the end of that match,
and then they turn around and they do the singles match a week later in
Chicago. It all out, which is kind of how I see this going.
In all honesty, it's gonna be one of those two shows. We're
gonna get MJF one on one against Adam Cole. I am leaning in the
direction of them not switching the titles. I don't think FTR will lose their
tag team titles on the twenty ninth. I'm not one hundred percent sure about
that, but it just feels to me like, whatever this next step is
going to be in this story, it will not include them actually winning the
titles. So they've made it this far, but whether there's an actual turn
or there's just a miscommunication and so now there's more dissension between them, but
they're going to stick together for a few more weeks and maybe later on in
August someone turns on the other or they both try to turn on each other
at the same time, and then we get the singles match. But for
the people thinking, oh, this is great. They got to keep this
going for another three months or another six months. I don't think Tony Kann
is going to deviate from his plans. Like I said, two huge shows
at the end of next month, the very end of August, in the
beginning of September. I don't think they can get away with having MJF in
tag matches on both shows. He has to defend his championship, and the
person who he is likely is to defend that title against is going to be
Adam Cole. I don't see him changing course because people like these funny segments
that the two of them were doing. Now, if they keep this going
beyond the twenty ninth, we could have another month of this. We could
still get another four or five weeks. Is at that point it's time to
pull the trigger and put these two against each other because you can't have those
two shows back to back and not get this story to a point where we're
gonna get the MJF Adam Cole title. So enjoy it while at last,
because I don't think it's going to be lasting all that much longer. We
had Renee. Renee was in the back and she was there with best friends
Chris stat Lander, the TBS champion, Orange Cassidy, Darby Allen, and
Nick Wayne, who just made his debut on television last week had a very
good match with Swerves Strickland is aw debut. Renee talked about Darby and Nick
Wayne being in the Royal Rampage this Friday night. Stat Lander is going to
be defending her TBS title against Marina Schaffier. Darby pointed out that Swerve Strickland,
who he has a bone to pick with, is also going to be
in the Royal Rampage. But he turns to Orange Cassidy and he asks Orange
Cassidy if he would do him a favor, he would give somebody a shot
at the international title, somebody who helped him out when he was homeless back
in the day. That person is ar Fox, and Orange Cassidy said that
he and Darby are cool, so sure, why not? So We're going
to get an international title match on Dynamite next week. Orange Cassidy will be
defending against ar Fox on that show. They cut back to the announcers live
in the building and we see Shompy the Shark in his mascot costume in his
Shark costume because Shark Week is coming up. I think Shark Week is next
week. So there's Chompy and Shompy is behind the announcers and he's posing and
plugging Shark Week, and on commentary, Task says that if the shark touches
him, he's going off the stage. Low key. This was one of
the best moments of the entire show, and I was kind of hoping the
shark would like brush up against him. Taz was already in a bad mood
after what happened with Hook earlier in the show, so I think it would
have been fucking hilarious for him to just grab the shark fucking throw him off
the stage. Unfortunately, that never happened. But Chompy came this close.
He came this close to flying off that stage. And then it was time.
The entire final hour of this show was dedicated to the main event.
It was Blood and Guts, believe, the third ever, the third,
third or fourth I think third ever or maybe fourth. I don't know how
many of them there have been already. Blood and Guts Match Golden Elite,
Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, the Young Bucks, and the debuting Kota Ibushi
taking on the Blackpool Combat Club John Moxley, Claudio Castagnolieler you can No Skate
to Kesh and the Bastard Patch. His first AW match in many months and
last time we saw him in the ring in AW. I guess it was
the very end of that best of seven series against the Elite. He suffered
the broken nose, so this was his first time back in the ring.
Claudio entered first for the BCC. All the members of the BCC entered through
the crowd, which I kind of liked. It was just something different from
the baby Faces. So Claudio entered first. Kenny Omega entered for the Golden
Elite to start things off for his team. So they were going at it
for a little while. Here at the start, the fans were chanting,
use use the other ring. They had that second ring sitting there. Nobody
had touched it the entire night up to this point, so they wanted them
to use the other ring. Claudio teased throwing Omega into the second ring,
but then he stopped short and he gave him knee lift instead, just to
taunt the audience. So the chant started up again and this time they both
ended up in the second ring. Finally, so after the initial five minute
period had lapsed. As this match goes, one member from each team would
enter. There would be I think it's three minute intervals. The match doesn't
officially start until everybody is in, so you can't go for you know,
a fall until everybody has been called out. No pinfalls. It is submission
or surrender, the old you know, beyond Thunderdome rules from the old school
War Games match. So after the initial five minute period, Pack was out
next through the crowd for the BCC and he immediately drilled Kenny Omega with a
missile drop kick once he was inside the cage. That took us into the
picture and picture break, our first of many. I know a lot of
you in the in the live chat before we're complaining, but it's a nature
of television. You're going to take up the entire hour. There's going to
be a lot commercial brakes, and there were a lot of picture and picture
breaks during this match. Hangman Page was out next for the Golden Elite and
he hit a fallaway slam on Pack followed that up with a power bomb.
Hangman followed that up with a moon salt from the top rope from the middle
of the top rope onto Claudio. Out. Next was John Moxley, and
so now you knew where the blood in blood and guts was about to come
from, because here comes John mocks. He wasted no time in using a
fork on Hangman's forehead, and then Omega he was jabbing him in the head
with the fork. Then he went outside. He pulled out a bucket from
underneath the ring or outside the ring somewhere, and the bucket turned out to
be filled with broken shards of glass that he spread out on the mat in
ring number one. It was probably sugar glass or something not that you can't
get hurt on that. But I noticed as people were being slammed on the
glass, they were not bleeding, they were not being torn up. You
know, if it was gimmicked in some way, if it wasn't you know
the real deal, you know again, just it didn't seem like it was.
I'm fine with that. I hate broken glass. I hate using broken
glass and wrestling. I think it's fucking stupid and mean. There were companies
that will just take fucking glass whatever they can get their hands on, and
you know, those extreme hardcore type matches, I fucking hate it. I'm
not a fan of that at all. So if they used some kind of
other glass that would hurt less or not rip their flesh off their fucking backs
as easily, that I'm okay with that, because I did see some complaints
about that. I saw some complaints about the glass. I saw some complaints
online about the bed of nails, how they were rounded and they were in
spiked. It's almost as if these people are upset that nobody got fucking gord
during this matag. Nobody, nobody had their eye taken out, nobody was
killed in the course of this blood and guts match. I like my blood
and guts matches without somebody being killed. So I'm okay with that. Because
even if you're being slammed on a bed of nails and the bed and the
nails are not exactly pointy, right, I'm sure it's still fucking hurts.

So Nick Jackson was the third entrant for the Golden Elite. He mistil drop
kick Moxley, who landed on the broken glass. Moxley returned the favor by
slamming Nick onto the glass. Moxley and Claudia then performed a double supplex on
Omega onto the glass. So Wheeler utimate his entrance as entrant number four for
the Blackpool Combat Club. He jogged down to the ring through the crowd with
a chair in his hand, and that took us into another picture and picture
break. Matt Jackson coming out of the break, he made his entrance as
the fourth entrant for the Golden Elite. And I know you guys are gonna
be very shocked to hear this, but John Moxley was bleeding at this point
in the match. I know, I know. It was a very big
surprise. Canoskate te Keshta. He was the final entrant for the BCC and
Tekeshta got into the ring with a chair in his hand and he jabbed Hangman
with it that he turned Omega inside out with a hard lariat. I very
much look forward to that match when they get those two in the ring in
a singles match, which I think is going to be happening sooner than later.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing those two in the ring together.
But tonight was the first time where we had Omega and Tekeshta in any kind
of a match against each other, and we got a little taste I think
of what to expect between those two. Moxley at this point pulled out a
bed of nail. I mentioned the bed of nails. So he pulls out
a bed of nails from underneath the ring and he slides it into the ring
and he props it up in the corner against the turn buckles, and Moxley
goes to whip Kenny Omega across the ring into this bed of nails. Omega,
though stops himself, but he does end up being whipped into the bed
of nails anyway. And then Moxley lays the bed of nails on the mat.
He body slams Omega onto it. It's a great reaction, and Omega
did come up. He had some blood on his back. Moxley was now
stomping on Omega's hand onto the bed of nails. Kenny was in trouble.
Kenny needed somebody to come out and save him. There was only one man
left on the baby face side. There was one entrant left who had not
yet come down to the ring, and it was time for that person to
enter the debuting Kota Ibushi, Kode and Bushi comes out, and he was
in no great rush to come down to the cage. He was taking his
time, even though Kenny Omega, right, he one of his best friends.
Big reunion with them tonight. Kenny Omega's often that second ring having his
hand drilled down into this bed of nails, and Koda and Bushi he's entering
like Jeff Hardy that one time when he came back coming out when his brother
Matt is being beaten up in the ring and Jeff Hardy came out and he's
doing the Jeff Hardy jive or whatever the fuck he calls it, the Jeff
Hardy dance. Right, Ibushi wasn't dancing, but he didn't seem overly concerned
about what was going on to Kenny Omega in that ring. So wheel are
you to leave the cage? And he goes running up the ramp to go
after Abushi, he gets put down. Ibushi gets into the cage, he
puts down various people with a single punch, was punching him out, even
to Keshka with one shot power of the punch. Kody and Bushi put down
to cashed it. So in that second ring, we had a bloodied John
Moxley torturing Kenny Omega and Cody and Bushi's in the first ring staring a hole
through John Moxley. I thought, maybe we're gonna get murdery Bushi here at
this point. I don't think we really got murder and Boushi in this match,
maybe a little bit. Not not really though, But he made his
way over to that second ring, did' Boushi and he attacked Moxley And there
were people I did hear from some people asking if Ibushi was looking different.
Look. I told you guys about this already previously. Kody and Bushi has
wrestled before tonight two matches since twenty twenty one. He was out for a
very long time with that shoulder injury. Two matches over Wrestlemany a weekend.
One of them was for Josh Barnett's blood Sport. The other one was for
Joey Janelle, and I mentioned it then that he was looking softer. This
is not the same Koda Abushi that you remember from New like visually that you
remember from New Japan. Whatever he was doing or however he was training to
get himself to look that way, clearly he's not doing that right now.
And he's also a couple of years old, or the guy I think is
forty one years old. He doesn't look it. But that version of Koda
Abushi, as you picture it, coming out there looking like a superhero,
all cut up from head to toe, that Koda Abushi is no more.
This is this is Yes, Yes, he does look a little bit different.
I mean he's he's still in good shape. But does he look a
little softer than he used to look? Yes, yes, And I told
you that coming into this, So hopefully that answers that question. He's still
the same Koda Aboushi. Otherwise. So Matt Jackson suplex the wheeler Utah on
stage. I mean there was there was action all over the place here.
He suplexes Utah on stage. He Boushi got Moxley down in the bed of
nails, and then he hit him with a standing moon sel onto the bed
of nails. So that took us into yet another picture and picture break.
Yeah, I would, yeah, I would say, let me tell you
something, Ibushi, Iboushi and I were basically in the same boat here.
I wish I looked as good as Kode and Bushi looks okay at that age.
So and I guarantee you at eighty five percent or more of the people
who might be complaining about and it's probably a very small subset of people on
social media probably don't look anything like Code and Boushi licking the fucking cheetos from
their fucking fingers. So please give me a break, Codey and Boushi look
fine in this match. Shove another cheeto in your face. So we come
back from the picture and picture break. Youda climbs on top of the Actually
this was during the picture in picture Youda climbs up on top of the cage
and he calls for Matt Jackson to follow, and so Matt obliges, And
now Matt Jackson is climbing up and I was wondering, what are they going
to do? Poor Wheeler dah, He's going to be the victim this year.
Poor Wheeler Utah is gonna be He's gonna be thrown off the cage or
fall through the cage. They're gonna do something to this poor bastard. Right.
I was actually very happy that they did. But they both climb up
to the top of the cage. They're trading punches. Matt goes for his
trio of Northern Light soup plexes. We've seen him do this many times before.
He'll hit one Northern Lights, he'll keep it going, the whole train
of Northern Light soup plexes. So he hit a trio of them and then
he teas doing another one, only this one would have taken them off the
side of the cage and they would have died. So thankfully Uda countered into
a DDT instead, and then he said, fuck this, I'm out of
here, and he climbs down. He was like, I didn't stick it
around because I know if I stick around on top of this cage, bad
things are going to happen. So he climbs down. They had ex Caliber
at this point in the match. Ex Caliber does an ad read for the
American Red Cross for blood donation. During this blooding guts Matt even Taz had
to just talk about how ridiculous this was. This honestly may have been the
best ad placement in the history of professional wrestling that they did an American Red
Cross blood donation ad during Blood and Guts. You could just send Moxley.
I'm sure Moxley would give buckets. Moxley could just fucking fill up however many
vials you need, just from him alone. You'd have then rejoined all the
others inside the cage. Matt stayed on top of the cage, and I
don't I didn't see where he got this from, but he had a bag
at a sack up there, and he's standing on top of the cage right
in the middle. We're actually right above where the second ring was down below.
And he empties this bag of thumb tax and the thumb tax rained down
in the second ring, and they are littered all over Ring number two.
It's such a simple thing, but I really enjoyed that, and just the
visual of it I thought was pretty cool. Claudio and Pack, I think
they had each been setting up for a move next to each other and this
distracted. Then they end up getting backdropped, and Pack, more so than
Claudio, took this great backbody to dropped bump onto the thumb tacks, so
I thought that was a great spot. Matt Jackson, who eventually climbed down
and back into the cage, ended up being placed on a table in between
the two rings. This was the other cool spot of the match that I
really liked. Pack ends up climbing. He scales the cage and he is
holding on now to the roof of the cage and he's kind of just dangling,
swinging back and forth, and he's hanging from the top of the cage
and when he's in perfect position, he let's go and he double stumps Matt
Jackson through the table and it made a great sound that it looked great,
and they replayed it again. This was in between the two rings, so
I thought that was another great spot. So the two teams end up in
opposite rings. We got kind of the stair down and the face off,
the dramatic face off, and then a big giant brawl erupts between the two
sides. Pack ends up locking Omega in the Brutalizer and ring number one.
In Ring number two, Claudio performs the Giants swing on Matt Jackson and he's
now Usually when you see somebody in the Giants swing. A lot of times,
they have their hands clasped behind their head anyway like this to protect their
head. In this case, I thought he was doing it to protect his
head from the thumb tax, because there were thumbtacks all over the mat in
most of that ring. But when Claudio finally slowed down, he did it
away from the tax. But then he immediately locked Matt Jackson in the sharpshooter
Koda and Bushi is kicking his teammates free in the other ring from various submission
holes, because remember, the only way to win is submission or surrender.
There's no pinfall in this match. He goes into the other ring, he's
throwing kicks at Claudio, and Claudio at first is no cell. These kicks,
I think he threw two of them, had no effect. Finally Abushi
threw a third kick he broke the hold. Moxley kissed Omega's head and then
he looked into the camera. The camera guy is right there on the apron
hitting a close up shot, and John Moxley walks up to the cameraman and
he kisses the lens. Got blood all over his mouth, all over his
lips and he kisses the camera lens, and I can only imagine, like
if I were in the truck, if I was the producer, the lead
producer in the truck, I would be fucking pissed. He kissed the camera.
He said, he smears the lens. Now it's almost it's hard to
see through the lens. And so they had to cut away to a different
camera. Now that guy was right there. He had the best shot of
any of the camera people, but they had to cut away from him because
now this fucking blood all over the camera thanks to John Moxley. So I'm
sure that didn't please the people in the truck very much. But things at
this point in the match they fell apart for the Blackpoole Combat Club. When
Claudio accidentally hit Pack, accidentally hit Pack, Pack was pissed and he got
up in Claudio's face, and Pat Pack is so good. He's so fucking
good, not only as a wrestler, but just yeah. I talked about
Taz always sounding pissed off and looking pissed off, and like during his career
he'd come out, he'd have that angry kind of look on his face and
everything. And some people can play that role perfectly. Pack is one of
those people. From the moment he walks out, he's not smiling. He's
always out there. He's got a scowl on his face. He looks just
fucking disgusted with everybody. So now he gets popped by accident. He's pissed.
He's getting up in Claudio's face. They're pushing and shoving, and this
looked. This looked great because again they're really selling it, like these two
had a falling out here. Other guys to cash them. Oxley, you're
getting between them. It's getting at a little physical here between these guys,
right, So Moxley into Casher. They're trying to keep the piece here and
keep them apart. Pack, though, he flips off all of his teammates,
gives him the double bird. He drops down off the apron. He
goes underneath the ring and he fishes out a pair of bolt cutters and he
gets back in the ring. He takes the bolt cut Now Claudio comes back
up to him and Pack just looks at him and flips him off, says
fuck you right to his face. He uses the bolt cutters to cut off
the chain around the door and he leaves fuck you I'm going home, and
Pack exits the cage. Omega, now he sees an opening with what's going
on here, he starts running wild on the heels. Hangman performed a buckshot
Larry and on Claudio, who, unfortunately the camera caught Claudia for a good
three or four seconds, maybe five seconds, clearly just standing there looking and
waiting for it. I thought maybe he was going to counter it, he
was gonna duck it. Nope, he just stood there and waited, and
eventually Hangman came in for the buckshot Larry. It took him down, so
Page immediately went to the other ring. He performed another buckshot, this time
to Wheeler Utah, who at the same time that Hangman came in for the
buckshot and I thought he was gonna buckshot him and he was going to go
backwards into attacks. Instead, at the same time, Omega hits him from
behind with a running v trigger to the back, so he gets sandwiched between
the two moves. Hangman then handcuffs John Moxley to the ropes, so Moxley
cannot save Wheeler Utah from what is about to happen. Utah is now bleeding
heavily from the forehead and he took a superkick on his knees, took a
super kick from Matt Jackson. At this point, we were past the ten
pm point. We actually had a little bit of an overrun on this show
tonight. We don't get very many overruns on Dynamite, I think a bit.
There's one that we had recently. It went to ten o two.
I think this also went off the air around ten o two. So we're
past the ten pm point at this point. Don Callos now who was on
commentary when Tekeshta was in the match, so of course Don Callis was going
to be there in some way. Don Callis who apparently was attacked, he
was assaulted in Mexico the other night Triplemania. He was there, as was
Tekeshta. In fact, to Keshta attack Kenny Omega from behind after the match.
Whatever happened to Don Callis, you know, Brian Alvarez mentioned something about
how he was attacked and it was legit and he had all these injuries,
and then there was another report that came out from PW Insider that said it
was all a work and it was a security person, not a fan who
attacked him and he's fine. Whatever the case. He looked fine, he
was moving around fine. If he heard his neck in his ankle, he
didn't look like he was r but he was on commentary during this match.
He gets up now from the announced desk and he starts coming down the ramp.
He's calling for Tekeshta to leave. Pack has already left. He's waving.
He wants t Kesha to leave the cage, and so Kenoskate Tekeshta he
leaves. So that's two members of the Blackpool Combat Club team now that have
deserted their team, and now effectively it's a handicap match. Now it has
turned into five against three advantage to the baby Faces. I guess you know.
Callis didn't like where things were headed here. He wanted to preserve his
man's safety. So Hangman wraps a chain around at DA's neck. He starts
choking him until he nearly passes out. They ring the bell to signify the
end of the match. Fifty one minutes into this man, we had a
fifty eight minute match on Collision less than a week ago, and now tonight
on Dynamite. Dynamite says, okay, you want to go fifty eight,
We'll go fifty one, so I'm back to back show. When was the
last time that's happening? That's an interesting trivia note here, When was the
last time that we had a wrestling promote Ocean, a wrestling promotion that had
back to back matches on back to back shows that went nearly an hour?
Right, that doesn't happen very ill. Fifty one minutes is how long this
one went. It is win for the Golden Elite. And after the match
was over, Tony Shavanni explained to us that it was John Moxley who submitted
to save Wheeler Uta because I wasn't sure at first exactly exactly what happened,
but that's what happened. He submitted to save Utah, Golden Elite get the
win. We got a shot here of the Golden Lovers themselves reunited, Koda
Abbushi Kenny Omega victorious. So this match was pure chaos, just as advertised.
When aw announces blood and guts, you know what to expect. Right
in WWE, when they did War Games, you know it was it was
as kat is a match like that can be in WWE. WWE does not
do matches like this anymore. You would see matches similar to this in WWE
twenty years ago, maybe twenty five. WWE does not do this kind of
stuff. You will not see beds of nails, you will not see forks
to the head, you will not see blood splattered all over the place.
They just don't do that sort of thing. So this stipulation actually works better
in AW than it does in WWE, because here anything goes. It's pure
insanity, it's pure chaos. So you're gonna get all the mayhem and all
the weapons and all the blood and gore and everything that a lot of people
expect and like to see out of a match like this. And if it's
just once a year that they do it, it's fine. Of course.
We get plenty of blood and gore from AW hell of a lot more than
just once a year. I don't know that it was the best blood and
guts match ever. I still feel like last year's may have been better than
this one. But on the whole, I thought it was very good and
it was sufficiently violent if if that's what you're looking for, I don't see
how you could not say that this was not a violent match. I think
it was in its own way. But in a safe way, if that
makes sense. I feel like they didn't go too crazy this year like they
had sometimes before. And you know the fact that nobody got you know,
bumped off the top of the cage or or just some some kind of insane,
insanely dangerous stump. Look, everything they were doing was dangerous. I'm
not saying it wasn't. You got thumb tax everywhere, you got all kinds
of weapons, but it was. It was controlled chaos is what this match
felt like to me. And the Boston crowd was hot from start to fit
really for the entire show, but from the opening bell of this match to
the very end and the Biga Boushy debut when he came out, they were
hot for everything. I thought that having two men walk out at the very
end on the heelside was kind of lame. Having two men walk out back
to back the way they did with Punk or no Punk with the pack,
that would have been something. Oh, that would have been something had Punk
got his wish. Remember Punk supposedly offered to take one of the spots on
the heelside and Blood and Guts if they couldn't come up with somebody boy.
That would have been something, wouldn't it Having two guys walk out at the
same time. I thought was was a little bit lame. Now for Pack
it fits his character though to a t. And if they would have left
it alone with there's him walking out, I would have said, man,
that's perfect. That's like, it's like bad News Brown, I think a
couple of years in a row walked out on his Survivor series teams all those
years ago, in the early years of the Survivor series. But like it
fit because he didn't have friends bad News Alan, you know, he didn't
have friends. He didn't like you, he wasn't there to be friends with
you. So it kind of fit his character. Same thing with Pack here,
and so I like that. But then with Takeshta, Yeah, I
wouldn't have done that. I get don callis wanting to get this guy out
of there because he's a little worried what might happen because now it's a handicap
match. It's five on four, so it's like, all right, get
out of there before something bad happens to you. Question is what happens with
Pack now? My fear is that he goes back into hibernation. It feels
like every time this guy comes back, he's back for a few weeks and
he disappears, you know, or there's some kind of visa issue or an
injury issue, or something happens and we don't see him anymore. Pack is
great. I want to see more of him on TV. They're heading into
Wembley Stadium. He absolutely should be on that show in some kind of a
singles match, preferably I don't know if it would be against Claudio if there's
going to be an ongoing issue now where I don't want to say Pack turns
baby face because I don't you know. I mean, if I were them
and you wanted to have Pack in a baby face roll, I wouldn't change
anything about him. If the people want to start cheering for him, it's
up to them. But he should definitely have a match on that Wembley show.
So I'm curious what happens with him now. It was great to see
Coda and Bushi in there. Very happy to see him finally in an aw
ring. I would like to see him do more with the company as well.
I don't know if he's interested in signing some kind of an actual deal
with them or not, but hopefully it's not the last that we will see.
I'm sure it won't be sure, it's not the last we're going to
see of him. Kenny Omega, what do you do with him? Now?
We're heading into all in and all out? If I'm looking ahead,
because Omega is one of the biggest stars in the entire company. You've got
Punk, You've got Omega. I would even argue they're a one and two
right. Put them in whatever order you want. You want to put Kenny
first, Punk second, Punk first, Kenny second, it doesn't matter.
Punk is obviously the one that Collision is built around, and then as far
as Dynamite and the rest of a w Kenny Omega would be the biggest star,
maybe the champion. But Kenny Omega is clearly the biggest start. So
what do you do with him heading into your two big shows at the end
of next month, we still have to get a singles match between Kenny Omega
and Keno Skate Takeshta. I want to see that match. You could do
that match at Wembley. But what about Omega and Osprey, Right, there's
been talk about they're all knotted up at one would apiece so far this year
you do the rubber match at Wembley in Will's backyard Osprey Omega three, that
would seem to be an appropriate place to do it. I think that you
can do Osprey Omega at all in, and you can do Omega and Takeshta
at all out. You can do both. Yeah, we sit here in
debate, which one should they do? Why not both? Why not both?
It's like Tommy Dreamer at ECW back in the day with the two women,
Which one I'll take him both? I'm hard? Or why not do
both? So we'll see who ends up where now because now it's just full
bore promotion heading into the Wembley show. And Tony Kahn said that the other
day. He said, over these next few weeks, we'll start to really
kind of flesh out what the all in card is going to be. But
when the show was over, I was very happy with Dana. Mike Tenight
of THO is a very good show, fun show, fun show overall.
I thought the Jack Perry stuff was well done. The MJF Adam Cole stuff
is just white hot right now. People are loving that. And Blood and
DUTs was as advertised. If that's the kind of match that you're into if
you like the violence and the chaos and everything. I think AW gave you
what you wanted tonight. So now we have Rampage coming up on Friday,
and Rampage is going to have the Royal Rampage with the winner getting a TNT
Championship match at All Out and the participants shown on screen were Jay Lethal,
Jeff Jarrett, Big Bill, The Gates of Agony from Ring of Honor,
Swerve Strickland, Brian Cage, Matt Menard, Angelo Parker, Jakager, Ethan
Page, Matt Sidell, Matt Hardy, Darby, Allen, Nick Wayne,
The Butcher, The Blade Commander and Minorus Suzuki. What a what a weird
mix of people? We go Commander, Minoru Suzuki, Nick Wayne, what
a weird mix of people? In this match, Chris Statlander defends the TVs
title against Marina Schaffer, The Acclaimed and mister Ass. I'm not calling him
by the other name because it's just fucking weird, so I will simply call
him mister Ass. Take on QT Marshall, Johnny TV, and Aaron Solo.
So that's on Friday. Collision on Saturday has the House of Black defending
their Trio's titles against the Acclaimed and Billy Gunn and Dynamite next week. So
far, the only match announced Orange Cassidy is going to be defending the international
title against ar Fox. That was the request of Darby Allen, granted by
Orange Cassidy. Here's the Twitter poll seventy nine percent thumbs up, twenty point
seven percent thumbs down, with over thirteen hundred votes and counting so far in
for Blood and Guts tonight, What did you think of the show? I'm
sure my comments are going to be much much interesting later, much interest in
going through my comments and seeing what people are saying, because even in a
few minutes before I went live, I was just quickly checking some of the
initial responses and there was a lot of divided opinion on that main event,
a lot of divided opinion about that show. Already, people were going at
each other's throats. Welcome to Wrestling Twitter. It would not be wrestling Twitter
if people were not attacking each other on social media for having an opinion.
Unfortunately, that's the way things are these days. What are you gonna do?
Let them fight to the death, That's what I see. Let them
fight to the death. Let's start out here with Lady fire Panda. I
want to know what you guys thought of Blood and Guts tonight, So get
those comments and questions on it, and we will be doing be the Booker
later because we did break the goal, so thank you. Let's see if
we can get up over five hundred. We should be able to break five
hundred before we get out of here, right. Fire Panda says, doesn't
matter who you are, where you're from, who you love, who you
identify. This is a long superjot, but she wants to know that everybody
is welcome in our big dysfunctional thing. That is certainly true. It's a
lot of dysfunctional people in this family, not Firepanda. Though firepan Do is
not won them. You are not dysfunctioned. The tall one ninety three,
I would rather they didn't do a women's match than do whatever that was.
If this doesn't kiss off the women in the back, I don't know what
it will take. Well. I think they just knew they were going an
hour with Blood and Guts, and so instead of doing no women's matches,
they wanted to take one of their stars of the division and put some shine
back on her. Because of the way she lost in the O and Hard
Tournament. I think that's really all that was. Mister Notorious Chico eighty six
ten dollars super chat. Two questions. If Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks
come to WWE next year, who would you book them to face or WrestleMania.
Who had the better career, dolve Ziggler or heard Hended. Dolve Ziggler
had the longer career, he had more longevity. As far as who had
the better career, I'm still partial to parret Henning, former a WA world
champion back at a time when that still meant something, although I mean the
AWA By that point, I guess maybe it didn't mean much because the AWA
was on was on the way down. But former AWA World Champion, two
time intercommental champion in WWE, when that title meant more than it has in
a very long time. Obviously with the boother run, he's restored some value
to that championship, but for so long that title hasn't really meant much.
But he was a player everywhere he wins, whether it was the AWA,
WWE, WCW, he had success there. He won championships. He was
part of that whole boom period in the late nineties. So to this day
people still talking about mister Purfect. And you know that's not to take anything
away from Dolve Ziggler having all this success that he has had in his career,
but I gotta go mister Perfect on that one. As far as Omega
and the Young Bucks, I think you if they were to come to WWE
next year, there's not a lot of time to build up something really big
for everybody. I don't think you want to necessarily blow off the biggest possible
matches that you can do with them. So I would like to say,
well, you do Omega and Seth Rollins. Kenny Omega one on one with
Seth Rollins. But if they have plans locked in already for Rollins, let's
say, to defend his title against Gunther or somebody else, You're not going
to disrupt those plans. Just throw Kenny Omega in that match cold. So
I could see Omega, honestly against AJ Styles. AJ is not doing much
these days. You want to give people a match that you know is going
to be very good, and some people might look at that and go,
oh, it's it's still a dream match. I could see Omega being stuck
in a match with aj Styles if he had just come into the company a
month or two before. Give him something to do on the show for the
Young Bucks. Young Bucks and usso's would be the most logical destination. I
don't know if they would be, you know, willing to do what on
short notice like that, because remember the reports are that their contracts are up
early twenty twenty four. So if we play along here and we say,
okay, they're gonna come to WWE, they're coming in right before wrestling.
So do you just put them in a match with the USOS and blow it
off or do you build that shit up over time? If not the USOS,
I don't know. I don't know who else it would be. It
could be Owens Inzane that's another match, right, they're all best friends.
Either one of those teams, Either one of those teams, either either one
of those would be big matches. Big Armada nineteen eighty eight. Does Moxley
have a clause in his contract saying that nobody else in his matches can bleed
before he does? He's almost always the first one to bleed. You may
be right, there could be a provision in his contract. He says,
Look, I don't play politics much, but I insist on this, and
Tony Kan said, Okay, put that in your contract. Yeah. I
don't know. I don't think he cares. I think as long as he
bleeds, he's happy. Groovy Goose says, to tie into Shark Week,
they should have called the match blood and Chump. Thanks for the screams.
Thank you, Groovy Goose. The Mountain verning Kid, Christopher Bennett, the
BCC stupid to trust, pack and callous. I don't know why I didn't
see that coming. That was the story behind the whole match. It's an
issue of trust. I don't know if that was the I would say that
was the issue of the entire match, but I definitely think that was a
story they were telling late in the match. You know, Pac Pac doesn't
trust anybody. I mean, he was with the Death Triangle for a long
time, so you know, we we we've seen him before in tag situations
with partners, but I think he just generally is probably very distrustful of people
on that roster and doesn't really like a lot of people on that roster.
And then when he got hit, it was like, you know what,
I don't need this. Fuck you, I'm out of here, and swaggle
buy or sell better. Saddledone match FTR against the Blackpool Combat Club two out
of three falls from the Collision or the ten man main event from Canadian Stampede,
says I cannot decide the better actual match was the two out of three
falls match from Collision start to finish. The story they told, the way
that match built and all the near falls and everything. If you look at
the ten man tag from Canadian Stampede, if you strip away the insane crowd
reaction for the hard founding, you just look at the match just on its
own, pretty basic ten man te This was one of the best matches that
I have seen in a very long time. Just from a quality standpoint,
five stars all them. So I would say, if you're looking at it
from the perspective of a wrestling match, stuff they were doing in the ring,
two out of three falls on Saturday was the better match. From an
overall experience and atmosphere standpoint. It's just in the atmosphere was great on Saturday.
I'm not saying it wasn't. It had a hot crowd in that building,
but you can't match the electricity and the emotion of that Heart Foundation match,
from the entrance to the match itself to the post match stuff, all
the family members getting in the ring and Austin coming back and hitting anvil with
a chair and getting handcuffed and taken at everything from start to finish. The
building was literally shaking. At the start of that match, building was shaking.
So from an overall just an atmosphere point of view, I still I
can't vote against that. But if I'm gonna sit down and I'm gonna watch
the match and just judge it objectively as a wrestling match, the fifty eight
minutes we got on Saturday was just a much better wrestling match. The best
way I can describe it. Roberto Bennett. After that Bloodline War Games match,
this Blood and Guts is just whatever. Two very different matches. Both
both were story driven. I mean, there was a story going on here.
There there were a few different stories. I don't want to say there
were no stories in this match, but again, this was a much more
violent match. It just boils down to what are you interested in the most?
Do you not like the blood and the gore and you just care about
story? Because if so, then the Survivor series match was for you.
If you want your blood and guts or War Games matches to have blood and
violence and weapons and just pure insanity, you got that tonight. That War
Games didn't have that. That War Games match did not have what we saw
here tonight. It's a matter of personal taste. I like both matches.
I'm not big into the really hardcore, ultra violent type stuff. I don't
need, you know, buckets and buckets of blood to enjoy my wrestling.
Some people love that shit. I don't always really really have a great fondness
for it. But I did think the match tonight was very good. It's
just two different matches. It really just depends on your personal taste which one
you like more. Yes, nail, this one had nails come up.
If you want a bed of nails in your matches and you're in luck,
she got that tonight. Jacob Donnelly with a ten was at the show Live
tonight and the arena pop for MJF and Adam Cole at Kowloon, Massachusetts.
Staple best Chinese you'll ever have. That's why I am. I am so
interested. One day I want to make it. I want to make my
way over there one day. I have no reason to go to Massachusetts right
now, but if I ever do, I will definitely be going to Kowloon.
Downbeds is going to Collision this week. I will let you know my
thoughts. Lie, Please do and hit me up on Twitter let me know
how the show is. Bobby's World with the twenty dollars super Jetty Bobby's World.
Thank you. At the end of the Bloodline story, if Offa and
Seka came out and said to Roman, you were never the tribal chief.
The only reason we gave you the ulafala is because you threatened us, I
think that would be a cool twist. Yeah, we're not getting offensive often.
Seka are getting up there in years. They had talked about bringing them
in before, and I think one of them got sick so they ended up
not doing it. I don't see that happening. Solo Monster meet and greet
at Kowloon. I don't know how many people would actually be there. If
there's no wrestling show in the area at the time, how many people would
actually be in the area to come out to a Chinese restaurant to hang up.
See if I go to the restaurant I don't want to be sitting there
just shaking hands the entire time. I want to I want to enjoy the
food. I'm gonna go all the way over there. I want to enjoy
the Chinese. I don't want to be meeting and greeting when I'm supposed to
be enjoying the food. Dylan Hensley, we had a hardcore class today and
I took my first chair shot. I was surprised to find out that the
chairs were not gimmicked. It's stung a little, but it's all about how
you swing it flat on flat, well, as long as it didn't hitch
you in the head. Yeah, I mean, I've heard them talk about
how the upper part of the back. I think between the shoulder blades is
probably the safest place to lay those chair shots in. But yeah, that's
shit. I'm sure that shit hurts. You get hit in the back of
the chair. I don't care what part of the body it is. You
get hit hard enough, it's gonna hurt down Bed. Thank you for that
hundred dollars super chat from earlier, and he says he listens every day.
Keep up the great work, will I will do so. Thank you very
much. Rizzo Commissioner Salom Ozer, how are we coming with my idea of
booking me and Mandy Rose and a love angle at house implored? I think
that is a million dollar idea. You keep talking like that, I may
have to put a restraining order out on you. You will be barred from
the building. You won't be able to come within fifty feet of the venue.
I have the power to do that. Bender mc simpson Fun Show tonight.
I love the blood and Guts matches. I have not seen Coda wrestle
in years, but it looked like he was stuck in quick saying the whole
match. Well, probably he got in there and he looked around and saw
thumb tacks, and he saw broken shards of blasts, and he's so wait
a minute, this is not New Japan. Where am I? I just
came back from two years on the shelf. I'm trying not to get hurt
of here again. He hasn't wrestled very often. He wrestled two matches how
many months ago? Is that he's got to get more reps, I think,
to get used to being back in the ring. He just hasn't been
working. Zachariah with the forty nine ninety nine, Tony Kahn needs to make
Blood and Guts pay per view only, or is there a way he can
get the final hour commercial free. I still cannot deal with the picture and
picture breaks. But the match was eight out of ten. You see Bushy
turned into Jeff Hardy while Omega was getting stumped into the names. Yes,
I did not even mentioned that earlier. Yeah. There, the constant picture
and picture is annoying. It's not anything they have any control over. When
I talked about Warner Brothers Discovery allegedly wanting more aw paper views, they could
potentially move to an every month schedule. Apparently it's been discussed. My suggestion
was to move Blood and Guts to paper view, and you do Blooding Guts
in October tied into Halloween. I agree. I think Blood and Guts.
You know, it's a nice gimmick pop a TV rating. Be very interested
to see how how how much higher, if at all, the rating is
when it comes in tomorrow. If the rating is not higher than last week,
that's very bad. So I get using it as a TV gimmick.
Maybe that's what Warner Brothers Discovery wants. Because they don't want it as a
pay per view, but I would just make it a pay per view in
October if they're going to go to a schedule of more pay per views,
Blooding Guts should be its own paper review in October and do Halloween havoc.
You do Blood and Guts, Red Emissary of Darkness. Can we do a
Blood and Guts version of be the booker tonight? Maybe? Maybe? What
do you guys think? Should we book a Blood and Guts match five on
five and be the booker for the men? What do you think it?
Grosso after the way Blood and Guts ended? Do you think Hack will join
Don Callous's family? And does Jericho join or does the ja s turn on
him and they join Don Callous. I don't think they joined Don Callous.
I think that Pack joining the Callous family is interesting and also probably would get
him on TV more often, so I'd be okay with that. As far
as what does Jericho do, I think in the end Jericho is He's not
gonna do it. I don't think Jericho is going to join, and they're
teasing it. They want to make you think he is, but in the
end he won'ts Zachariah says would it be good or bad if Jack Perry dropped
the FTW title in the trash can and did Tony Khan miss the moment for
Annage to join. She has nothing going on. He just turned. There's
plenty of time if they want to add her to the act. There's still
plenty of time to do that. Should he drop the FTW title in the
trash it would be a heel thing for him to do. If they wanted
to write the title off television so it's not around anymore, they could do
that. I don't think they will. I would have him hold on to
it. I think I think he'll look better if he's walking around with the
title belt. He's not winning the TNT title anytime soon. So Nitty Gritty
with the ninety nine. I listened to an older episode of the podcast where
you mentioned your health issues, hopeball as well on that front. Ice belts
in the background. By the way, all hail the solom Monster. Nitty
Gritty, thank you very much. Always a fan of the Winged Eagle,
Right, there's a classic style, the one that I grew up on.
And thank you for asking. I'm I'm doing okay, So thank you very
much. Doctor Scorpio. Who you're gonna call blockbusters? I ain't afraid of
no trolls. Doctor Scorpio got into his parents liquor cabinet again. It's like,
yeah, it looks like he hit the good stuff tonight Bender mcsimpson.
I think MJF is the modern Kurt Angle, right in the ring and on
the microphone, tons of charisma. He could be serious or comedic, great
heels or baby faces. I think that's an interesting comparison. Hurt Angle could
do it all. He could be serious, he could be funny, he
could wrestle, he could do the skits. I don't know if Curt Angle
could sing. I know Kurt Angle can't sing. I've heard him attempt to
sing before. He's pretty fucking terrible. It's the one thing Kurt Angle is
not good at. He said he had his rendition of sexy Kurt un SmackDown
that time. I wouldn't call him a good singer. MJF can actually sing.
He's got some pipes on him. He could sing. Yeah. I
mean, the two of them, they do a lot of the important things
very well. The big knock on MJF for so long was, oh,
he's so good on the mic, and he's charismatic, but his work is
like his work is mid. No, his work is better than mid.
He's proven that by now. He's proven that by now that in the ring
he may not be the flashiest wrestler in the world, but he's pretty fucking
good. So you can't You can't say that he can't work because if you
say that, then that tells me you actually haven't watched any of his matches.
Fire Panda twenty one dollars super. How dare you skip the Ashcrokes.
I'm a Mets fan, That's why skip the Ashtrist. Fuck the Ashtart.
Although when I was in Little League, funny enough, my team was the
Ashtist, so I actually played for the Astros techt Once upon a time.
I still up my trading card. Enough people were interesting, maybe I'll post
it online one of these Doctor Scorpio. Years of watching terrible raw shows awoke
in my creative side again, the irony of that, at least a few
new hobbies to keep myself distracted. That and the liquor in the cabinet that
you stole and nitty gritty, was there any truth to Vince McMahon wanting to
revive the American Gladiators show. Former gladiator Ice said on her podcast this was
actually playing well, she would know more about it than I would. I
that's the first I'm hearing of him ever seriously considering rebooting American Gladiators. I
don't believe so. But if she was supposed to be on the show,
then maybe she would know. I have not heard that. Actually, I
know. There were two American Gladiator documentaries that just came out. There was
the ESPN thirty for thirty and there's a multi part or a multi episode documentary
series on Netflix. I want to watch the Netflix one. I haven't seen
either one of them yet, but I've heard good things about the Netflix one.
American Gladiators was big. Even when I was a kid. I would
watch Superstars on Saturday morning at twelve, and when Superstars was over at one
o'clock, it would go immediately into American Gladiators. It was like this two
hour block of just great television every Saturday afternoon. I was a big fan
of that back in the day. Hey, the Winston Slip just gifted a
channel membership to day Tona Green, So Daytona as a channel member now very
cool. Very cool. Yeah, there is the Netflix one. I believe
is a multi part one. It's multiple episodes, I believe. I think
they came out at the same time. Thunder Forrest wants to know who would
my dream opponent be in aw for Bret Hart in his Prime. Oh,
that's good, that's a good one, you know, I Brett. I
think I know that Brett would have a fantastic match with MJF. I think
MJF against Brett and his Prime would be a fantastic match. I mean,
I can go with the obvious ones, Brett against them Mega. Brett against
Te Keshta would be a phenomenal match. Right against MJF, I think would
be a lot of fun. So the goal tonight was four hundred. We
are approaching five hundred almost there, so keep pitting that thumbs up. But
I think you guys want to do the Blood and Guts edition of Be the
Booker, and so my gift to you, let's book ourselves a blood and
Guts match. Let's be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now
time to be the booker. We are going to book our first ever blood
and Guts match, at least with the men we'll do it with the men.
There's a sound bite. We'll do it with the men. Yes,
all right, So here we go. Here's what we're gonna do. We
are gonna pick ten people in total, five on one side. That'll be
the first five, and then the next five will be the opponents, and
we'll call it blood and guts, and we'll see what kind of match we
can put together. It's gonna be very interesting considering some of the options that
are in here. I want to see what these teams are gonna look like.
This is gonna be most interesting. So let's go with. We'll call
this. I was gonna say we'll call this the baby Face side, but
I guess we'll just we'll just pick them and see who comes up. Here
we begin, We'll look at this. How's this for a blood and guts
match. Boom Box Brock, boom Box Brock Lesner is in blood and guts
and boom Box Brocko's gonna be teaming with Bully the Cloud. So we have
Boombox Brock. We have Bully the Clouds. Look at him, Look at
it be so cute with that red nose. We got Brock, we got
Bully, We've got Chris Jericho. He's been in a couple of blood and
guts matches before. You better keep Jericho apart from Brock. I don't know,
Jericho may try to bite his nose off like he did that one time.
Chris Jericho, Bully the Clown, and Boombox Brock Lesner. What a
team this is. I'm not even done yet. This is an incredible team.
Number four, Stone Cold, Steve Austin. Look at this fucking team.
Brock Lesner, Chris Jericho, Stone Cold, Steve Austin, Bully the
Clown, and rounding out the team is the Undertaker, not only the Undertaker,
Purple Glove Undertaker. What if we look at this team Stone Cold,
the Undertaker, Brock Lesner and Bully the Clown and Chris Jericho almost forgot about
Chris Jericho. It's gonna be hard to beat that team. That's gonna be
a tough team to beat this team. I think this team's already won.
I agree. I think this is over. This is over. How do
you beat that? Well, let's try. Here we go on the opposing
side, we have ohma, oh my god, this match is over.
This match is already over. Omas is on the opposing team. Let's keep
going anyway, Let's keep going and see who Omas is going to be partnered
up with. Maybe Omas and Bully the Clown will cancel each other up.
Let's go on and see Omas Jerry the King Lawler, Oh boy, oh
boy, Austin Theory. This team sucks. This team fucking sucks, Shamous
all right, it's a little bit better. That's a little bit better,
Omas, Jerry Lawler, Austin Theory, Shamus, and rounding out the team
is Logan Paul. What a fucking terrible team. That is awful. So
congratulations to Stone Cold Steve, Austin, Undertaker, Chris, Jericho, brock
Lesner and Bully the Clown. Look about a lopsided win. It wasn't even
close. There you go, your first ever blood and guts match right here
on the sound off. Yeah, that team is hot, garbage hot hot.
I say, all right, let's see we got Luna Vashan. All
right, here we go, Luna Vashan on the Women's be the Book,
are gonna go one on one with Awesome con That's a pretty cool match right
there. Awesome cong and Luna Vashan put them in a monster's ball match.
Got a hell of a match right there. There you go. Awesome,
cong and Ludava Shan. That's pretty cool. And let's try the tag teams.
We begin with the authors of Pain ACoM and who's the other one?
I can't read that now I forgot the other ones. Now. I was
just gonna say, raisar in Toka, Oh, I have secret of the
ooze on the brain. For some reason, I said authors of Pain.
I was this close as saying Raiza and Toka. I think it's ACoM in
Razar, right, I think those were their names, all right, so
authors of Pain. I could see where this is headed. Right here,
the authors of Pain are gonna be stepping into the ring against Randy Orton and
Matt Riddle Arcade Bro. Randy Orton and Matt Riddle. I got no problem
with the authors of Pain, though against Arcade Bro not a match that I
would book. So there you go. A most interesting edition would be the
booker. You never know what you're gonna get. Randy Orton and Matt Riddle
against the authors of Pain. I think, would you guys, You've given
that match a lot more credit than I would. Yeah, I don't think
that would be a very good match. I can't agree with you, sorry,
Lady fire Panda dropping a three dollars super chat. Salom Monster is an
Astros fan. Salom Monster single handedly led the Astros to a championship, and
I did it without cheating, no banging on any trash cans here, Jan
sport book Bags buy or sell MJF in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three,
or Triple H in two thousand and two thousand and one, Triple H
in two thousand and two thousand and one. That was Triple H at his
best two thousand and two thousand and one. So I buy on Triple H,
sell on MJ MJF is great, but that was Triple H at his
best. Authors of Pain would be a good motorcycle club name. There probably
is one. There probably is a motorcycle gang somewhere with that name. I
wouldn't be surprised. Del Fuego, Can I get a Birthday's shout out on
Friday? Going to smack down from my b I'll give you one now instead
of Friday, because I'm not gonna remember comes Friday, but you're going to
smack that on your birthday, So happy birthday, Del Fuego. I hope
you have a good show. I'm sure they will. Roman Rains is back.
They put a little extra effort into the shows when Roman Rains is around,
So you're gonna get to see Roman Rains and jay Usso on Friday.
Devin from NJ two thousand with a four ninety nine Superchat. My dad thinks
it's weird the Debee is revisiting the Roman and Jusso feud, being that it's
going to end the same way as before. What are your thoughts? It
will likely end the way it ended before. We don't know that for sure,
fairly certain that Roman Reigns is not losing to Jayuso at SummerSlam. I
don't think it's weird at all. It's a totally different Jusso. Now you
know, his story has now come all the way around here to where it
is. At the beginning, he was very meek, timid and manipulated by
Roman Reigns, and now he has broken free of that. He's his own
man now, full on baby face, much bigger star than he was three
years ago. So it's a totally different dynamic than it was three years ago.
Even if the outcome I think is going to be the same. I'm
sure your dad will enjoy the match. Your dad is going to enjoy the
match at SummerSlam. I'm sure they're going to go out there and have a
great match. Jimmy is going to turn. I don't know what sense that
would make. Then you get Jimmy against Jay. Does anybody want to see
that? How many people want to see Jimmy against Jay? Hey, justin
I'll see on Friday, brother, Thank you for joining me. So,
yeah, Friday night is when I'm gonna be live with you again. We'll
be talking about SmackDown. SmackDown by the way airing on FS one this week
because they have the FIFA Women's World Cup on Fox on Friday night. So
SmackDown airing eight pm on FS one, and then we'll go live after the
show. Yeah, I mean Jan Sport. You'll probably get Roman and Solo
at some point. You will. You will get Roman Reins against Solo Skoe.
It's got to be patient. Will we see Rakishi? I think there's
a pretty decent shot you may see. You may see Rakishi get Paul him
in a sting face at some point. I don't think we're gonna see Afa
and SKA, But I definitely think Rakishi is on the table for an appearance
at some point. I'm surprised we haven't seen him by now. I figured
by now he would have been in a segment. He would have been in
one of these dramatic Bloodline segments talking to his sons in the rain, trying
to tell them to be their own man, don't let Roman Rains manipulate them.
You know, as great as this Bloodline story has been, I have
to say I have seen so I have seen so many ridiculous comments in the
last couple of weeks because the Emmy nominations came out, so people were talking
about the Emmys and they were saying, oh, you know, wwe should
win an Emmy for this storyline. Roman Rain and Jay Usso should win Emmy's.
I think Roman Rains and Jay Usso have done a tremendous job in this
story. I think they all have. Everyone has played their part to perfection,
even Solo, and Solo doesn't say anything, but everybody has played their
part to perfection in this story. But Jeff, people already your fucking minds
if you think that Roman Rains and Jay Usso should win an Emmy for their
performances in this angle, do you realize that you have professionally trained actors who
are on some pretty fucking great shows who were nominated for Emmys this year.
You're gonna put Roman Reins up against Pedro Pascal Roman. Look, Roman Rains
has done a great job. Roman Rains is not winning an Emmy award for
the way he low blowed Jay Usso on television two weeks ago, or the
way that he snapped at Paul Haman. Let's not get carried away. I
think read the problem with wrestling fans. Many times they live in their bubble.
Wrestling fans are in the wrestling bubble and it's hard for them sometimes to
see outside of the bubble. They just see what's inside of it and they
think, oh my god, this is the greatest thing ever. This guy
should win all the awards for it. They're good. But let's not get
carried away. Roman Rain should win a Slammy award. He should not win
an Emmy award. That is ridiculous. That will never happen. Nitty gritty,
I don't know about everybody else, but Dominic Masterio and the Judgment Day
are growing on me, and that is the right way to build newer stars.
I've been a big fan of the Judgment Day for a while and and
Dominic ever since he went healed. I think he's been great. I enjoyed
seeing him win the North American title on Tuesday. I know some people have
a different opinion, but I tweeted that out this morning I caught up with
NXT. I thought it was great. We'll talk more about that on the
podcast on Sunday. Their entire world revolves around Yeah. I mean it's true,
though. I think people they just they get so wrapped up in it
that they forget, you know that you're talking about people being nominated for awards
who are actually, you know, trained actors who are really good at what
they do. And there are some really great fucking television shows that are nominated
for awards this year. I love the blood Line, but the blood Line
they can't hold a candle to the best shows on television. Apples and Oranges,
Doctor Scorpio, take a sales sign, smack a B with it.
Congrats you now have Beyonce be on What is wrong with You? What is
wrong with you? Tonight? There's something going on with Doctor Square. I'm
a little worried about you. You know, on the label for the medication,
when the doctor prescribes it, they tell you the proper dosage to take
it is. It's on there for a reason. You go above that dosage
and this is what you end up with here. This is what you end
up with. Always follow the instructions on the label there for a reason.
If the doctor says take two pills, that does not mean you take six.
Thank you, guys, we have hit the two hour mark. Appreciate
you hanging out with me here on a Wednesday. Thank you for all the
love, thank you for all of the super chants, and I'm going to
be back with you live again in less than forty eight hours on Friday night.
We'll talk about SmackDown right back here on the channel. Please do go
ahead and hit that light button on your way out. Make sure you subscribe.
Make sure you tell other people to subscribe. You've got friends who watch
wrestling, and maybe they don't know about the sound of recommend it. I
think they'll enjoy it. Be well, stay safe, and that we'll do
it all over again or SmackDown. Until then, Take your guys,
