00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.000
Today is the one year anniversary since
the passing of Jay Briscoe, thirty eight

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.679
years old. It was one year
ago today. I was screaming right here

3
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.560
on this channel when the news came
in and broke live. One of the

4
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.679
saddest stories, unfortunately not the only
major loss, but one of the saddest

5
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.960
stories to come out of wrestling in
twenty twenty three. And tonight on Dynamite,

6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.199
Mark Briscoe walked out on stage and
he introduced Jay Briscoe's kids, his

7
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.880
son and his two daughters, including
the daughter who the older daughter who they

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.479
said might never walk again, she
walked out there on stage tonight during Dynamite

9
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.759
one of the most emotional moments that
you will ever see on a wrestling television

10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.359
show. It's an amazing moment,
bittersweet and sad, but also something that

11
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.479
was great to see because honestly,
we hadn't heard much of anything about the

12
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.679
daughters since last year. We know
that they were very badly injured and they

13
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.439
were in the hospital, they got
released from the hospital, and there really

14
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.759
haven't been very many updates on them
since then. So to see them on

15
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.319
the show tonight with smiles on their
faces, being able to walk out there

16
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.200
side by side with their uncle.
It was just one of those moments that

17
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.200
it was very very cool, as
sad as the story is, you know,

18
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.359
one year later, still a very
very awesome moment. What else was

19
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.680
awesome tonight was the main event,
which was Samoa Joe defending the aw World

20
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.920
Heavyweight Championship against the twenty eight and
one Hook. A lot was made about

21
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:38.319
this match last week. All the
social media garbage Tony Kahan and Gender Mahal

22
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.319
and all that stuff, and Hook
and Gender kind of got sucked into the

23
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:49.319
whole thing and it became this tribal
war between warring fan factions about who's better

24
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:55.040
than who, who deserves a title
match. Tonight, all that shit washed

25
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.480
away. You know, we had
the title match on Monday. We had

26
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.280
a title match. Tonight had a
big fight feel. When these two guys

27
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.799
came down to the ring, Tony
Kahan announced that it was commercial free,

28
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.560
so we got no commercial breaks during
the main event. It was ten minutes

29
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.759
for these two to go out there
and do their thing. And I loved

30
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.639
this main event. This was an
excellent, excellent main event. It achieved

31
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.039
exactly what it had to do.
Samoa Joe went out there tonight, he

32
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.159
looked like a killer, and when
it was over, he retained his AW

33
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.479
World Heavyweight title, which of course
he was going to. It's only it's

34
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.680
his first title defense. He's not
losing to Hook. So he won and

35
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.319
retained his championship. But Hook,
in the process, came out of the

36
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.599
match tonight, even in defeat,
only his second defeat. He came out

37
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.319
of this match better off than he
was going into it. Joe did everything

38
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.280
in his power there towards the end. He even let this kid kick out

39
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.400
a musclebuster at one and a lot
of people are gonna nitpick that. They're

40
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.599
gonna they're gonna hate that. That
didn't even bother me. The crowd expl

41
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.080
I mean, the people were hanging
on to every near fall and they wanted

42
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.520
to see a title chain. I
mean they came in Joe came to the

43
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.639
ring tonight. The entire building was
chanting Joe. Not that they were boeing

44
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.000
Hook, but Joe walked in there
like this conquering king coming back, you

45
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:15.719
know, to claim his land.
Everybody was cheering for him, and by

46
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.400
the end here everybody in that building
wanted to see Hook walk out with that

47
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:27.039
title. And I saw some people
before comparing it almost to Jeff Hardy and

48
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.159
the Undertaker on Raw and the Ladder
Match back in two thousand and two.

49
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.240
We didn't get the big endorsement there
at the end, but there were a

50
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.280
lot of similarities between what happened on
Raw that night over twenty years ago and

51
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.159
what we saw in this main event
tonight. And I just can't say enough

52
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.000
good things about that main event.
I can't say enough good things about Joe

53
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.240
as the aw champion. He's only
had one match so far as the defending

54
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.000
champion, but just his presence when
he comes out just feels like a world

55
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.520
beater, and that's exactly what he
was during this match tonight. And then

56
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.439
at the very end, when Hangman
Page comes out and Swerve Strickland is in

57
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.439
the crowd, we get a sense
of exactly where they're headed for revolution as

58
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.080
far as a triple threat match with
Joe defending against not one but two men,

59
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.719
So I love the finish of the
show. That was not the only

60
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.439
title match. We actually had three
title matches on the show tonight, including

61
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:19.639
another very good match and a title
change. Unfortunately, the title that changed

62
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.639
hands is the one that was the
most meaningless out of all of them,

63
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.160
the one that is most unnecessary out
of all of them. But we did

64
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.959
get a title change tonight top Flight
in Private Party, they had a tag

65
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.759
team match. I believe that might
have been their first tag team match together,

66
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.160
at least in an aw ring,
I believe. With Mark Quinn back

67
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.160
after over a year on the shelf, it was nice to see him back.

68
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.199
But also we got a very interesting
tease. It was in a very

69
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.560
quick video package towards the end of
the show, but we did have a

70
00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:01.120
tease of where they are seemingly going
for Stings retirement mat Revolution, and yes,

71
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.600
it might involve the Young Box,
but it also involves the idea that

72
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.040
I pitched last week, the idea
that I've been pitching for more than a

73
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:13.319
week. But I saw that segment
and that put a smile on my face.

74
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.199
I enjoyed Dynamite tonight. I thought
it was a good show. I

75
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:20.399
was entertained. I liked more than
I didn't like, whichre's always the goal

76
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.959
when I watch these shows. I
want to be able to like more than

77
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.480
I hate. I didn't hate anything, and we'll talk about all of it.

78
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.120
This is your aw Dynamite review.
It is Wednesday, January seventeenth,

79
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.439
twenty twenty four. I am the
solom Monster like and subscribe. Four hundred

80
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.560
likes is the minimum. That is
our goal for tonight to do our be

81
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.360
the booker segment. I also just
want to mention this real quick because I

82
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.319
know some of the people at least
if not a number of you that are

83
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:53.120
in the live chat are also part
of the sound Off Facebook group. We

84
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.240
have a private group on Facebook Solo
Monster sounds Off. You have to apply

85
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.160
for membership. Every year, probably
for the past ten or eleven years,

86
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.560
we have done a Royal rumble Pool
just for fun in the Facebook group.

87
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:14.199
We always have a huge turnout for
it. Cost nothing to apply if you

88
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.480
want to be a part of the
Royal rumble Pool. Didn't look like we

89
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.240
were going to be doing one this
year. Zach the one who usually organizes

90
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.079
it, he's a little preoccupied right
now. He's doing okay, he'll be

91
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.279
back soon. But Julian Cannon shout
out to Julian Julian in the group has

92
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.399
stepped up. Julian is the one
who is going to organize the entire thing.

93
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.560
I already have a post up and
pinned in the Facebook group. If

94
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.600
you want to get in on the
Royal Rumble Pool, you pretty much have

95
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.920
until the end of next week.
All you got to do is go to

96
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.759
the post and like the post.
That's all you gotta do. Costs you

97
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.160
nothing. You don't even have to
leave a comment if you don't want,

98
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.120
you just like the post. Julian
will take care of the rest and you

99
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.759
will be in. So if you're
not already in the group, look for

100
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.879
it. Apply, I'll try to
get you in and I'll try to approve

101
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.680
you and if you want to be
part of it, go right ahead.

102
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.720
That's all you gotta do. It's
always fun. I get in on the

103
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.319
pool. Everybody gets in on the
pool. There's no prizes this year,

104
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.480
just for bragging rights, but it
looked like we weren't going to do one

105
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.399
and now we are so again shout
out to Julian for his help with that.

106
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:25.480
Tony Shavani's normally sitting next to ex
Caliber and Taz at the commentary desk

107
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:30.120
at ringside. That was not the
case tonight because Tony was home sick and

108
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.519
in his place was Ian ric Abanni. Always enjoy listening to Ian, so

109
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.120
it was good to have him on
the call tonight, and they opened the

110
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.600
show with the first of three title
matches on Dynamite Tonight, this one for

111
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:49.600
the TNT Championship, with Christian Cage
defending against Dustin Rhodes. This is a

112
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:56.160
match that was set up in a
backstage segment on Collision after Dustin picked up

113
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.800
a win over Willie Mack, he
was confronted by Christian and the patriarchy.

114
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.199
It led to this match here on
this show. You know, Dustin,

115
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.680
It occurred to me now as we
have flipped the calendar, we are now

116
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.879
in twenty twenty four that the year
before last, at the end of twenty

117
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:18.920
twenty two, Dustin publicly said that
he was planning on retiring in twenty twenty

118
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.600
three, and so Dustin Rhodes,
his retirement went the way that most wrestler

119
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.399
retirements go. Twenty twenty three has
come and gone, and here we are

120
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.080
at the beginning of twenty twenty four. Not only is Dustin Road still wrestling,

121
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.679
he is challenging for the TNT Championship. So he had a little change

122
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.000
of heart. He's gonna go a
little bit longer, but look, the

123
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.120
man can still go right. Dustin
he's slowed down. He has slowed down

124
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.519
a little bit, but he can
still crank out a great match when he

125
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.919
has to. Tonight was a good
example of that. Christian baited him in

126
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.879
for a test of strength, which
of course led to a cheap shot,

127
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.279
and Dustin responded with a snap power
slam. Christian took a break outside the

128
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.559
ring to catch his breath. Dustin
went on offense until Christian fought off a

129
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.799
superplex and that sent Dustin to the
floor, followed by a dive from the

130
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.840
top by Christian onto Dustin on the
floor, so Christian was in control through

131
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.799
the picture and picture break. He
dodged a crossbody attempt, but then Dustin

132
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.200
avoided a top rope head butt.
Dustin hit a Manhattan drop and hit his

133
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.679
signature running bulldog for a two count. He avoided an ipoke and then he

134
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:41.720
slingshot Christian into the corner and Dustin
wanted the crotch kick that he does,

135
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.000
the shatter Dreams. I know he
doesn't call it that anymore, but that's

136
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.399
what it is. He wanted the
shattered Dreams Yambag City as Taz would call

137
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.360
it, but Cage got free.
Dustin responded with a dropped down punch and

138
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.399
a code read for a two count. He teased the dive as he was

139
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.639
about to launch himself through the ropes, though Christian caught him and cut him

140
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.840
off with a right hand, and
then he had a frog splash. Christian

141
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.440
did only got a two count,
so Christian grabbed the TNT title. He

142
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.639
was arguing with Aubrey Edwards who took
the title away from him. Dustinn't got

143
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.440
a visible cradle. He had dead
to rights. He had Christian dead to

144
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.320
rights referees. Back was turned.
Nick Wayne gets into the ring and he

145
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:33.320
reverses the cradle pin. Dustin kicked
out it too anyway, so Dustin watted

146
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.759
another bulldog Christian Dodge did. He
went to the second rope, he got

147
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.399
his legs swept and this time Dustin
got the I guess he calls it the

148
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:48.159
unnatural kick. He got the unnatural
kick. Dustin then got a superplex immediately

149
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.679
just you know, you see seth
Rollins when he's in the ring, hit

150
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:58.120
the superplex. Immediately gets up into
the falcon arrow again. Dustin you know

151
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.720
his bones are older than boast in
this company, so he hits a superplex.

152
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.840
He's taken equally as bad of a
bump as the person he's superplexing.

153
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.440
But he gets right back up.
He brings Christian up with him, and

154
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.919
he has him in position for a
crossroads, and he hits the crossroads,

155
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.480
which got a reaction. Of course, you knew it would got a reaction

156
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.480
from the crowd, and he got
a very close near fall out of it.

157
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.600
Nick Wayne tripped up Dustin from the
outside. As Christian took the referee,

158
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.720
Dustin went out after him. He
got goozled by kill Switch. He

159
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.399
fought off kill Switch, and then
he gave Nick Wayne a Canadian destroyer on

160
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.720
the floor and he got all of
it. I mean, he looked like

161
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.679
he spiked this kid right on his
head outside the roun. Of course he

162
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.840
didn't because he's a pro, but
it looked great and that was the end

163
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.320
of Nick Wayne. Back inside,
Christian was in the corner. It looked

164
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.960
like he was trying to pull the
middle turnbuckle pad off. I don't know

165
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.639
what he was doing. He had
his back turned. It looked like he

166
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.360
was doing something in the corner,
hopefully hopefully nothing dirty. But as Dustin

167
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.759
came in, he sidestepped Dustin.
Dustin ran into the corner and then Dustin

168
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.320
just awkwardly stood there. He had
his back turned so he's in the corner.

169
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.240
He's facing the crowd, kind of
crouched over a little bit. Again,

170
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.080
I didn't know what he was doing. I just thought, okay,

171
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.919
he's taken a few seconds. And
he stood there, and he stood there.

172
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.159
He stood there a little bit longer, for like an awkward period of

173
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.200
time, and I guess either maybe
he got the wind knocked out of him

174
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.679
legitimately, or he was just selling
for a long time. But eventually he

175
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.120
turned around and then he walked right
into a spear. Christian then hit the

176
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.639
kill switch, not to be confused
with the kill switch outside the ring.

177
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.480
He hit the kill switch. He
had the match one, but Dustin kicked

178
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.759
out. He kicked out very late, but he kicked out. Christian yelled

179
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.080
at him, he pulled him up, Dustin flipped him off, and so

180
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.399
Christian hit one more kill switch and
then finished him off to retain the title.

181
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.320
If I had one criticism, now
that I go back and I remember

182
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.639
what they did here at the end
of this match, they basically did the

183
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.200
same thing in the main event,
right, So here you have Dustin kicking

184
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.879
out of Christians finished. I didn't
kick out of it at one, but

185
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.360
he kicks out of his finish.
He flips him off. That's exactly what

186
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.519
hooked it in the main event to
Samoa job. So maybe I would have

187
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.440
avoided doing that here and just saved
that for the main event. But I

188
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.639
thought it was an enjoyable opener,
hot crowd to start things out. I

189
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.799
don't know how many more of these
Dustin has left again. He wanted to

190
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.639
hang it up last year. Obviously
he had second thoughts. I don't know

191
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.279
if he's going to go the entire
year this year. I don't know.

192
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.679
I don't know how many of these
he has left. But he did tell

193
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.840
Sports Illustrated that every time he has
a match now, it takes him about

194
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.720
a week to recover. Although he
did admit he was still feeling the he

195
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.919
may have just been saying that he
was saying he was still feeling the effects

196
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.399
of the swerve of Strickland match.
He was kind of in and out of

197
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.879
character in the interview, but he
says it takes about a week for him

198
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.159
his body to really recover when he
has a match. So, but he

199
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.639
had a really good one here tonight. You got two veterans in there right

200
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.480
showing what they can do. That's
off to them. No, Adam Copeland.

201
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.480
Copeland has been doing this open challenge
gimmick on collision. It's wrestling these

202
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.879
random matches and it feels very random, but again it's part of the story

203
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.759
because Christian basically sent him to the
back of the line, and so now

204
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.360
the story is that Copeland he's got
to just start racking up wins so he

205
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.639
can work his way back up into
title contention, which of course is a

206
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:52.159
goofy idea to begin with, because
we've had people on this show. I

207
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.679
mean, we had Daniel Garcia not
that long ago, right issue a challenge

208
00:14:54.679 --> 00:15:00.840
to MJF to an aw World title
match. I was gonna say Hook,

209
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.679
but Hook has a twenty eight to
one record, so you could at least

210
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.679
say that Hook has built up his
record enough to where if he wants to

211
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.720
call out the champion, it makes
sense. But I guess Copeland has to

212
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.559
work his way back up into title
contention. But he was not on the

213
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:20.159
show tonight, So we got to
the back and they gave Renee a workout

214
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.559
tonight because she was interviewing people.
Left it right up and down this show.

215
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.080
Renee was there to interview Swerve Strickland, and she asked if he would

216
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.440
have his eyes on tonight's main event
with Samoa Joe and Hook, and he

217
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.600
said he would be foolish not to
be paying attention. He says, whoever

218
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.360
wins, it doesn't matter because he's
laser focused on winning the AW World Heavyweight

219
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.200
title. He said, coming out
of the Continental Classic, he's the one

220
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.279
that everybody has been talking about.
Everybody's been talking about Swerve. He said

221
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.960
he's going to go after that title. Renee said, Hangman Page is another

222
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.279
man going after the AW World title, and Swerve said that he's got his

223
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.159
eyes on everything. He's got his
eyes on it everything. He's got his

224
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:07.399
eyes on every one. And he
put over Hangman. He put over Hangman.

225
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.480
He said, all the men he's
beaten. He mentioned Kenny Omega and

226
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:15.720
Brian Danielson. He said, even
John Moxley in at Texas Deathmatch. More

227
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.039
recently he's beaten Roderick Strong and J. D. Drake and Claudio Castignoli.

228
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.639
He said, if God opened up
the clouds above us, and he descended

229
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.200
from the heavens and challenged everybody to
face him. He said Hangman might have

230
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.519
a chance. He said, all
of these things are true. He's beaten

231
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.679
them all except him. He's beaten
all these people, but he has not

232
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.960
beaten Hangman, or he's not beaten
Swerves. Swerve has beaten Hangman twice,

233
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.960
and he says whose house Swerve's house. When they came back, they aired

234
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.320
highlights of the street fight for the
aw World Tag Team titles that aired on

235
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.960
Well it was technically after a collision. They had their Battle of the Best

236
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.680
El special on Saturday night and they
had Sammy Gevara for the finish. He

237
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:10.039
jumped twenty five feet in the air
off a lighting truss next to the stage.

238
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.680
He crashed through the stage. Powerhouse
Hobs pulled Ricky Starks out of Harm's

239
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:22.000
way because Sammy and Jericho have issues
with the Kallis family, and so Takeshta

240
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.119
got involved and he hit Jericho with
a kendo stick. Jericho and Sammy did

241
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.720
not win the tag team titles.
And I have to just say here what

242
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.079
I said on the podcast this weekend. I watched that street fight on Saturday,

243
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.799
and it was an actual street fight. Very rarely do we get street

244
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:45.319
fights in wrestling these days that will
start out in the streets. Yeah,

245
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.240
maybe they'll start in the ring and
they'll brawl into the crowd. If we're

246
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.720
lucky, they'll go backstage. They
started in the streets outside the arena.

247
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.799
They were out there for a while. They did the old Howard Finkel spot

248
00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:00.960
where Howard Finkel his poor rental car
out in Manhattan, parked right outside of

249
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.359
the Manhattan Center back on Raw ninety
three, Sean Michaels and Mister Perfect.

250
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:10.440
They ended up on the car,
broke the windshield. Nobody told Howard they

251
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.599
were going to do that. We
even had a Howard Finkel reference on commentary

252
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.799
when they did that spot. But
they broiled out there for a while,

253
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.039
then they brawled back stage. Eventually
they made their way into the arena.

254
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.920
I thought it was great as street
fights go. That's exactly what I would

255
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.240
hope to see if you're going to
have a street fight. So actually,

256
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.039
I actually really enjoyed that match.
On Saturday Now back Live, Renee was

257
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:38.240
in the back with Chris Jericho,
who put the blame on the don Kallis

258
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.920
family for their loss and for Sammy
being out hurt. That's why he was

259
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.880
not on the show tonight. He
blamed Takeshta for hitting him with a kendo

260
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.519
stick to cause him to get power
bomb through a table. He said,

261
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.480
So what do I get to use
on you for revenge? Maybe a barbed

262
00:18:53.480 --> 00:19:00.319
wire baseball bat, maybe a pane
of glass, maybe a pizza cutter said

263
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:07.559
he's gonna seek and destroy his ass. So, if I was to ask

264
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.880
you, who do you think showed
up to interrupt Jericho? And we did

265
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.559
this multiple choice? Remember when you
were back in school, and maybe I'm

266
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.480
dating myself here, but when I
was back in school and we would take

267
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:25.079
these official tests, they had the
scantron. Remember the scantron sheets had to

268
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.720
fill in the little bubble at your
number two pencil. If I was to

269
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:33.839
give you a multiple choice, quitz
who interrupted Chris Jericho backstage? And I

270
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:41.240
said, choice A, don Kallis, Choice B Kenoski Takeshta, Choice C,

271
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:49.039
Kylie Ray or choice D Matt Sidell. Who would you guess interrupted Chris

272
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:56.559
Jericho here in this segment? If
you chose option D Matt Sidell, which

273
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.440
none of you would have done,
then you would be correct putting fucking,

274
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:07.599
fucking random interruption here in this segment. So Matt Sidell shows up, and

275
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.160
he says, boy, Jericho,
you know you're losing it. He goes,

276
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:18.920
this isn't you. I know you
says you're better than that, says

277
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.599
and to get over this loss,
you've got to get back in the ring.

278
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.440
And you've got to get back in
the ring and fight somebody who has

279
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:33.240
beaten you before, like me,
He said, Nick Housman. Yeah,

280
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.920
I should have had Nick Housman as
an option. But would Housman have the

281
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.200
guts to show up and interrupt Jericho? That's the question. I don't know

282
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.880
if he would actually have the guts
to do it. But no, he

283
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.640
was not an option on the on
the exam. Stop adding options to the

284
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:56.400
exam. I'm the teacher, now
you so, Jericho says, Look,

285
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.640
I respect you as a wrestler.
Says some would even say that you were

286
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:07.240
born to do this. Uh huh. He said, maybe you're right.

287
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.039
Maybe we do need to do this
match, Maybe we need to do it

288
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:15.000
right here in North Charleston, South
Carolina, Friday night on Rampage and he

289
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.880
told him be careful what you wish
for. So, I mean, are

290
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:26.640
we supposed to now? On the
television show, they don't really acknowledge the

291
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.839
fact that Rampage is a taped show, So it was a little weird because

292
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.519
he said, how about we do
the match right here in North Charleston,

293
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.680
South Carolina. We'll do it on
Rampage on Friday night. So I guess

294
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.000
are like in k Favor, we
supposed to believe that they're going to run

295
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.000
the same city in the same venue
on Friday or are they just basically admitting

296
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:51.079
the show's taped. I don't know. This felt like a very forced way

297
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.880
to get Jericho in a match on
the taped show. That's what this was.

298
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.240
Last week when Jericho came out,
they played the music throughout the entire

299
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.519
segment as he fought right with the
Big Bill. We all know why they

300
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.440
did that, right, They did
that very clearly. They did that to

301
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.480
mask any negative reaction from the Dailies
Place crowd to Chris Jericho. So they

302
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.400
played the music and then on Rampage
or on Collision, they started the match

303
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:21.400
outside and they spent the majority of
the match outside the building and the back

304
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.880
of the building before they got into
the building. And I'm sure that played

305
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:30.079
into their calculations as well. They
are going to great lengths to do whatever

306
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:36.039
they can to protect Jericho when he
comes out with the hope, and I

307
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.039
actually think they're right. I think
what's gonna end up happening is as time

308
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:42.119
goes on, this is all gonna
wash away and Jericho's gonna come out and

309
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:47.039
the booze are gonna go away.
That's what's gonna end up happening. But

310
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:48.680
for the time being, they want
to avoid the chance, they want to

311
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.720
avoid the booze, they want to
avoid any kind of negativity. And so

312
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.519
Jericho is going to wrestle on Rampage. Wasn't the last time we saw Jericho

313
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:02.440
wrestle on Rampage. Isn't he normally
doing commentary on So now we're getting a

314
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.839
Chris Jericho match on the taped show, so that should there be any negative

315
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.839
reaction, And I didn't hear any
because they had the live crab reaction when

316
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.759
he was in the back. I
don't know if they turned the volume down,

317
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.599
which is possible, right. I
wasn't in the building, so I

318
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.920
can't say for sure if they boot
him or not. But they're gonna do

319
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.200
the match on Friday night so that
they can edit out any negative reaction.

320
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.880
That's why Jericho is wrestling Matt side
of all people like, where the fuck

321
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:36.880
did this match come from? That's
why Jericho is gonna be on Rampage Friday

322
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.200
night. You're not getting You're not
getting one over on me. I know

323
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:45.160
what you're doing. You can be
sneaky about it, but I know exactly

324
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:52.920
what you're doing. Orange Cassidy and
Trend Burretta in a tag team match against

325
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.359
Penta and Commander, and they had
Ray Phoenix out there with them. Ray

326
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.960
Phoenix is still recovering from injuries.
He'll be back soon. Commander escaped a

327
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:06.000
tree of Woe and sent Burretta to
the floor. He launched Cassidy into the

328
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.759
corner. Penta made the hot tag. He ran wild with some sling blades.

329
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.400
He got a stalling Maid in Japan
on Cassidy and Commander wiped out Trent

330
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:18.440
with a dive. Bretta saved his
partner from an assisted fear factor, and

331
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:26.119
Cassidy laid out Penta with the Round
the World DDT. Penta blindsided Barretta with

332
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.759
a punk kick and a step up
Canadian destroyer. Commander hit a rope walk

333
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.960
splash for two, which Cassidy was
the one who broke up the fall,

334
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:40.440
so Commander wanted a Phoenix splash,
Bretta avoided it and hit a running knee

335
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:44.880
to turn Commander inside out. Penta
tried a springboard, Cassidy shoved his partner

336
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.960
aside and hit beach break. An
orange punch sent Commander into Barretta, who

337
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:56.440
hit the Crunchy to pick up the
wind for best Friends. After the match,

338
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.319
Roderick Strong and the Kingdom came to
the ring. Strong told cast City

339
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.119
to take off his glasses heed,
which he never did, by the way,

340
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.880
and he questioned if being the International
Champion maybe has become a little too

341
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:12.000
much for him since he's now doing
tag team matches, and Strong said that

342
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:18.119
title belongs to him, said that
he is coming for the title. Cassidy

343
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.640
said, all right, fine,
we'll do the match right here, right

344
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.880
now. Of course, everybody popped
because they wanted to see another title match

345
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:30.119
on the show, and the logical
thing to do here as the heel.

346
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.079
If you're Roderick Strong and Orange Cassidy
is offering himself. He's offering you a

347
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:37.480
title opportunity after he just got done
wrestling a match. You would think that

348
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.640
Roderick Strong would take him up on
that offer, but oh no, roder

349
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.640
Rick Strong said, We're not going
to do the match, said night,

350
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.480
We're going to do the match on
March third at Revolution, and I'm going

351
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.519
to let you spend the next six
weeks knowing that that title is coming to

352
00:25:52.599 --> 00:26:00.440
me. Okay, I don't know
what kind of warped logic and that is.

353
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.799
Obviously they wanted to save the match
with the pay per view and that's

354
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.359
the way that they went about doing
it. But I just think it made

355
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.920
Roddy look like an idiot. No
surprise though, that he would be next

356
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.920
in line for a shot at the
title. They only had Adam Cole come

357
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:18.359
out on television twice and tell us
flat out that Roderick s Troung was going

358
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.960
after the international titles, So of
course we knew this match was coming.

359
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:30.160
If the Undisputed Kingdom is being positioned
as the top heel faction in this company,

360
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:34.519
and you could argue that the Kallis
Family is still the top faction,

361
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.559
right because really, what has the
Undisputed Kingdom done so far? Right?

362
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.519
Nothing yet, nothing of note.
But if they're going to be the top

363
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:47.039
heel faction in this company, then
they have to deliver on their promises.

364
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.400
They have to bring gold into the
folder. They have the Ring of Honor

365
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.400
World tag team titles. Who gives
a shit? Okay, who cares?

366
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.400
And frankly, they already had the
titles anyway before the faction was even formed.

367
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.680
I'm talking about from when Adam revealed
himself to be the devil. He

368
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.880
sat in the ring and he told
us, right, we have Roddy is

369
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.880
going to go after this title,
and Wardlow is going to go after that

370
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.359
title, and when I'm recovered,
he's gonna hand me the aw World title.

371
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:17.759
That's probably not going to happen,
but you need Roderick Strong to at

372
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.319
least deliver on that promise and bring
the international title into the fold. Otherwise

373
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:29.160
this faction has gone limp already.
I'm not even sure why Orange Cassidy needs

374
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.279
to have the title anymore at this
point. So Roderick Strong should go to

375
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:38.839
Revolution and absolutely win the international title, not because Roderick Strong needs it,

376
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.200
but because the Undisputed Kingdom needs it. If they can't beat Orange Cassidy,

377
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:47.279
then why the fuck are we supposed
to believe that they're gonna beat Samoa Joe

378
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:53.599
or Swerve or whoever it is and
bring in the AW world time. They

379
00:27:53.680 --> 00:28:02.440
need the international time. Rene was
backstage with hanging Adam Page, who said

380
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:07.880
that, you know, holding championship
gold has not always been your main focus,

381
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.200
but that's exactly what you've honed in
on. So why the change?

382
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.759
And he said that he treated that
AW World title with reverence. He said

383
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.440
he needed it, He needed the
AW World title. But what he's realized

384
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:23.799
about himself is that he wanted to
win the championship back then. But here

385
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:27.039
in twenty twenty four, not only
does he want to win, he will

386
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.400
hold it. He will put his
name on it, and he will keep

387
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.680
it there as long as he can. Renee brought up Swerve's comments earlier that

388
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.359
he can't beat him. He said, you can't beat him, You've already

389
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:44.079
lost twice. Hangman said, I
don't think about Swerve at all. But

390
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.759
even if I can't beat that guy, it doesn't matter because Swerve is not

391
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:52.960
the AW World Champion. Samoa Joe
is. So that is my focus.

392
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.559
He said, maybe after tonight it'll
be hook. He said, God be

393
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:03.160
with you if it is. Back
in the ring, we have the segment

394
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.759
of the night. Justin Roberts stood
in the ring and he introduced Mark Briscow

395
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:15.079
and the Briscoe family, and Mark
Briscoe walked out on stage, no family

396
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.920
with him. When he initially walked
out, they did cut to a shot

397
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.759
at ringside and in the front row
you saw members of the Briscoe family.

398
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.160
You saw Papa Briscoe was there and
his mom. I think his kids were

399
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.960
there. I don't know if all
of his kids were. I think Mark

400
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.799
Mark's got like eight kids. I
don't know if they were all there or

401
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.400
not. But they cut back to
Mark on the stage and Mark said that

402
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.839
he comes to us tonight representing the
baddest tag team in history, the brisco

403
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.920
Brothers that got dem boys chants from
the crowd. He said, tragically,

404
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:55.440
one year ago tonight my partner,
my brother, he passed on car accident.

405
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.079
Moved on to the next level of
existence. They say, generations come,

406
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.480
generations go, he goes. Men, my nieces were in that truck

407
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:08.240
with him, and you could hear
a pin drop at this point in this

408
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:12.200
crowd, I mean, they were
paying attention to what this man had to

409
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:18.319
say. And he said, tragically, they told his oldest niece that she

410
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:26.440
would never walk again. However,
and at that point, Jay's son and

411
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.839
his two daughters, Gracie and Jaylee, walked out. I think they had

412
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:36.039
dem Boys' shirts on. Also.
Now again, these are two girls who

413
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:40.039
were in the truck with him when
he died. It was a terrible wreck.

414
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.880
And I know his oldest daughter did
cheer. He would go to her

415
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.039
cheer practices and stuff. She was
very active. And those pictures the family

416
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:52.599
posted on Facebook of them in the
hospital, embraces on their legs, it

417
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.839
was it was horrible, you know. And again the report was that the

418
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.319
doctors didn't know if she would ever
walk again. Right, that's a shoot.

419
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.640
That's what they said at the time. They did not know, but

420
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:10.759
it wasn't looking good. Not only
did they walk out there Mark Mark got

421
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:15.759
emotional, they weren't emotional. They
had smiles on their faces like they were

422
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:21.039
genuinely happy to be there with their
uncle and just genuinely happy to be able

423
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:26.240
to walk out their period. And
so they walked out on stage. Mark

424
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.319
teared up. He said, God
is on the throne. We dem boys,

425
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.440
damn it, we won't stop.
We can't stop. We ain't going

426
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.920
nowhere. And then he thanked everybody
and they all hugged, and then they

427
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:42.920
cut to a tribute package for Jay
Brisco that I believe might have been the

428
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:51.039
same one they aired on television last
year. I was not expecting to be

429
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:55.160
so emotional during a segment here on
Dynamite, But I said, I knew

430
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.759
it was the anniversary and I was
going to open and mention it, but

431
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.680
I didn't know that they were to
do something on the show. Now Tony

432
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.279
Kahn did acknowledge it on Twitter earlier
today, but I didn't know they were

433
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.279
going to do this segment on the
show. And I'm really happy that they

434
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:14.519
did. It was very cool to
see the daughters out there and all of

435
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.680
them on stage, embracing and you
know, getting that kind of reception from

436
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.559
the crowd, and you look for
something positive out of such a shitty experience.

437
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.119
I mean, there's nothing happy about
what happened a year ago. It

438
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.079
was a terrible accident. It was
a terrible tragedy. It caught everybody by

439
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:34.559
surprise, and they have a huge
family. You know, when you have

440
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.759
kids involved, that makes it even
worse because you have young kids involved now

441
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:40.440
who one day their father is here, the next day he's not, and

442
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.519
you ask why, and there's no
good reason why. Thirty eight years old.

443
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.279
He should still be here. And
like I said, Mark has a

444
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.400
ton of kids. It's a huge
family they have, and Mark's really struggled.

445
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.279
He's talked about that, you know, his entire career, it's been

446
00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:59.400
him and his brother. They've traveled
the roads together. He still gets very

447
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.160
emotional and he has to get ready
to leave and go to the airport.

448
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:05.279
You know, he talks about this. You know it's been a year,

449
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:07.440
but a year is not really that
long. Yeah, I'm not sure you

450
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:14.039
really ever get over something like that. So out of that horrendous experience,

451
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:17.559
it was nice to see something positive
here on this show. So this this

452
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:22.599
was the segment of the night.
Nothing could touch this. This was just

453
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:28.640
great to see. And we went
back to Renee. We went back to

454
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.640
Renee for the third time tonight.
I said, they kept this woman very

455
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:37.960
busy here on this show. So
we go back to Renee and she's sitting

456
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:43.079
down with the young Bucks. This
was one week after the Bucks walked out

457
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:47.799
at the end of Dynamite. Last
week, you remember Staying Darby against Takeshta

458
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.680
and Powerhouse Hobbs. They had that
Tornado tag team match. Sting got the

459
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:58.640
win for his team, Tony Shavanni
got in the ring and he asked Sting,

460
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:01.599
who do you got in mind?
Or do you have anybody in mind

461
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:07.119
as your final opponent for revolution?
Because they hadn't really addressed it up until

462
00:34:07.159 --> 00:34:09.719
this point. That's when the Young
Bucks walked out on stage. They have

463
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.840
a bit of a new look.
They shaved their faces and they have these

464
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:21.360
weird, fucking Vince like mustaches now, which is easy heal heat, although

465
00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.039
these days just walking out period is
probably good heal heat for the Young Bucks.

466
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:30.480
But they never addressed the crowd right, nothing was said. They left

467
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:35.360
it to lead you to believe that
the Bucks are going to be Sting's final

468
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:40.440
opponents or revolution. So here with
Renee, she said, you guys requested

469
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:47.000
this time, and before she could
even say anything else, Nick Jackson cut

470
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:54.079
her off and asked her to call
them by their god given names, Nicholas

471
00:34:54.400 --> 00:35:01.480
and Matthew Jackson. You see,
he said, executive vice presidents around here,

472
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:07.679
and it's time to take these jobs
a little more serious. If only

473
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.440
they had had that attitude a year
and a half ago, or if only

474
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:15.559
they had had that attitude a year
ago, if they took those jobs as

475
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.920
EVPs, a little more seriously,
maybe we could have gotten everybody in the

476
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:27.000
room together, but that's that's for
another day. Rene brought up the temper

477
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.079
tantrums and the public meltdowns. You
know, they lost their full gear.

478
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:37.000
The rumors, right, She mentioned
the rumors without actually mentioning what the rumors

479
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:44.480
were. So Matt cut her off
and said, some of these rumors all

480
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:50.559
fake. But let's say, hypothetically, hypothetically speaking, let's say that some

481
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:55.199
of the rumors are actually true.
What would you do to preserve and protect

482
00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:00.960
your life's work, your baby?
Right? You and Joy have a beautiful

483
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.880
daughter, don't you. What would
you do? And what would you be

484
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:10.880
willing to lose relationships with your friends
and coworkers? How about your reputation or

485
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:17.239
your legacy out the window? Would
you be willing to do that? In

486
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:23.679
hindsight if you knew that there would
be a sustaining, thriving wrestling company called

487
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:29.519
AW. Says hell yeah, and
I would do it all over again.

488
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:31.960
By the way, you got your
paycheck this week. Good right. He

489
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:38.360
was making a point, says you're
welcome. So Redee brought up sting and

490
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:43.880
Matt said, when we started AW, we said that we were going to

491
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.360
change the world. And that's exactly
what we did. It was out with

492
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.400
the old, in with the new, and somewhere along the way we did

493
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:54.440
lose our way. He said.
It was like the culture shifted and the

494
00:36:54.519 --> 00:37:00.960
toxicity crept into the locker rooms,
and the perception of the company was just

495
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.840
different. Different. The perception of
the company was different. Now, this

496
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.079
is a very interesting if you pay
attention to the words that he was using.

497
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.480
This is very very interesting. Is
going to get a lot of people

498
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:21.119
talking here. They talked about the
perception of the company change, and he

499
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.760
said he thinks he knows why.
It's because they started to lean on yesterday

500
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:30.039
self serving, superficial, cancerous superstars, and he says, you mentioned Sting.

501
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:36.679
He said, Sting is none of
those things. Sting is none of

502
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:42.519
those things. He's great, he's
a role model employee. Sting is awesome.

503
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.400
And he's actually envious of Sting.
He's envious about the way that people

504
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:50.760
talk about this man. It just
maybe people will talk about us that way

505
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:55.480
one day, But it's about what
Sting represents. The image of Sting is

506
00:37:55.480 --> 00:38:00.840
not in line with what they wanted
to do here in aw You. So,

507
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:05.400
unfortunately for Sting. We are going
to have to say goodbye to Sting

508
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:12.679
and everybody likes Sting and we,
he says, we the Royal We would

509
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:19.880
never ask anybody to do something that
we weren't willing to do ourselves. So

510
00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.679
Renee asked them, is that an
official call out? Are you officially calling

511
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:29.559
out Sting for his retirement match or
revolution? Nick then pulled out his phone.

512
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.920
He showed Matt something on his phone. He said, as EVPs,

513
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:36.880
we'll pull some strings. And then
they got up to go leave, and

514
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.679
Matt told her we've got a meeting
to go get to that. People are

515
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:45.920
going to be very upset about this
promo. People are going to be upset,

516
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:52.719
and that's the point. That's the
whole fucking point of the promo is

517
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:59.320
to upset people. A lot of
people don't like the Young Bucks, and

518
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:01.199
a lot of people don't like the
idea of the Young Bucks being Stings Bottle

519
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:07.480
opponents, So they're leaning into it. They're leaning into it, even though

520
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.039
you pay attention to what he said
here right, what he said here,

521
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:16.400
what Matt Jackson said here really should
make them babyfaces to their fans. But

522
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:22.280
because there is this hatred of the
young Bucks, and because they were so

523
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:28.280
smug about it here in this segment, it's supposed to get them heat.

524
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.159
And I think this heel turn,
I said this a few weeks ago,

525
00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:34.920
This heel turn is exactly what the
young Bucks need because the young Bucks are

526
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:37.840
ice cold right now. The young
Bucks have no direction. Hangman Page is

527
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:43.280
off doing something else. Kenny Omega
is still laid up healing up from diverticulated,

528
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:45.599
so when he comes back, he's
gonna jump right back into the Kallus

529
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:52.360
family stuff, not gonna have anything
to do with the young Bucks. So

530
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.639
then what are the Bucks gonna do? You got to come up with an

531
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:59.320
idea for the young bucks as baby
faces. There just isn't anything for them

532
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:04.079
to really do, and there's already
this hatred for them, so why not

533
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:07.039
tap into that and use that?
Why not use that to your advantage?

534
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.880
And that's what they're starting to do
here. This heel turn is exactly what

535
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:14.880
they needed to do. I think
actually leaning in on the EVP stuff is

536
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.000
a smart thing to do. It's
not like the aw audience doesn't know that

537
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:22.519
they're EVPs in the company, and
it's not like it hasn't been brought up

538
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.599
on television before anyone. Right,
people know the aw audience, they know

539
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:30.840
they know that they're EVPs, so
why not lean into it. Right,

540
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.280
everybody knows, everybody's aware of the
different controversies that have taken place over the

541
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.960
past year and a half. And
if there's one thing that people don't like,

542
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.639
it is executive And this is a
good life lesson too, not just

543
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.320
in wrestling, But if there's one
thing that people don't like, it is

544
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.920
executives that abuse their power, or
the perception that you are an executive and

545
00:40:53.000 --> 00:41:00.159
you are in some way, shape
or form abusing your power. And no

546
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:05.559
matter what certain fans believe, and
you already have fans online, you have

547
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:12.800
people from a certain cult who believe
in their heart, there's no way that

548
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:15.840
Sting chose the Young Bucks as his
final opponents. This is clearly a situation

549
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:23.440
where the Young Bucks have politic their
way into this match a revolution against I

550
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:28.639
guess, against Sting's will, or
they planted the idea in the man's head,

551
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.039
even though every other report that has
come out so far contradicts that and

552
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:37.440
says that Sting wanted the Young Bucks
as his opponents, that the Young Bucks

553
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.599
were not even supposed to be back
on TV. Yet that the Young Bucks

554
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:44.800
were called back early because they accepted
the offer when Sting came to them and

555
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:49.199
said, hey, would you be
my final match in aaw But if you're

556
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:51.559
the Young Bucks, then why the
hell would you say no to that?

557
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:52.559
Of course you're going to say,
of course it would be an honor,

558
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:57.400
It would be an honor to share
the ring with you in your final match

559
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.880
at Revolution. But you have people
who don't believe that. No, no,

560
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:07.719
no, it can't be Trip,
it can't be Trip. Or people

561
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.239
said turning on Sting and saying,
well, then Sting, there's a reason

562
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:15.440
why Sting's not a booker. Tony
kan should have stepped in that and overruled

563
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.400
Sting, and he should have given
Sting a different opponent. But you know

564
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:22.519
that if it came out that Tony
Khan was going against the wishes of Sting

565
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.199
and wanted to do something himself,
oh well, Tony Kahan, how could

566
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:30.440
he do such a thing. He's
disrespecting a legend here. Let Sting do

567
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:32.880
what he wants in his final match. But because it's the Young Bucks,

568
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.039
oh well, if this is true, I mean Sting's an idiot, like

569
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:39.880
he should be overruled. You got
to put somebody else in there. I

570
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:45.880
love it. I just love seeing
the comments and seeing the meltdowns on social

571
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:51.039
media that I have seen over the
past week. It's been very amusing to

572
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:55.559
me, very very entertaining. I
have to say what I would like to

573
00:42:55.599 --> 00:43:00.239
see. I would like to see
the Young Bucks wrestle like he and I

574
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:05.320
don't mean wrestle like heels all the
other times they were heels. I mean

575
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:09.159
cut out the excessive super kicks,
cut out all the dives and all the

576
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:13.679
flashy stuff, the majority of the
flashy stuff. You could leave some of

577
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:17.599
it in there, but really wrestle
like heels. Like we need a new

578
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.559
and improved Young Bucks, right,
Coke they just came out with, like

579
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:24.679
Coke zero or some other new coke, which I'm sure will go over like

580
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:29.920
every other fucking version of coke they'd
come out with over the years. Why

581
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.159
not put a fresh coat of pain
on the Young Bucks and actually have them

582
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:38.320
work their matches differently than they normally
do, so beyond the character aspect like

583
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:45.119
a typical Young Bucks match, why
not work a different style, work a

584
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:49.360
style that will get them more heat
by teasing certain things and then not delivering

585
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.920
on it. I would enjoy that. I would enjoy it if they changed

586
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.000
up their style a little bit here
during this run. That's just me.

587
00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:59.800
That's just something, a personal thing
I'd love to see. I think that'd

588
00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:01.360
be a good But the character change
here is a good first step in that

589
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:05.880
direction. Now, later in the
show, I'm skipping ahead here because there's

590
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.960
another segment that aired that ties into
this. So I'm skipping ahead to the

591
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:13.280
Darby, Allen and Sting video package
that aired before the main event. We

592
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.320
got a video package that was showing
highlights of many of the matches that Sting

593
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:21.079
and Darby have had over their time
together. Here twenty plus matches in aaw

594
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.960
and Darby was nar rating over the
video, and there was a key line

595
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.559
not talking key Lime, Okay,
we're not talking Pie. The key line

596
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:35.559
in the video was that Darby said, and I want to make sure I'm

597
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:39.320
quoting him here, the story will
end with him. Oh, here we

598
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:43.719
go again with stories. By the
way, Sting and Darby are going to

599
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.480
finish their story before Cody. At
this rate, I think everybody who's going

600
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:51.960
to finish their story before Cody,
Sting and Darby are going to finish their

601
00:44:51.960 --> 00:45:00.719
story by becoming the AEW Tag Team
Champions, and they up back to ex

602
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:05.960
Caliber on commentary when the video is
over, and ex Caliber questioned who Sting's

603
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.159
final opponent is going to be at
Revolution, So they're planting doubt that maybe

604
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:13.400
it won't be the Young Bucks because
in the video they showed Ricky Starks and

605
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:19.679
Big Bill, who are the reigning
AW World Tag Team Champions. So maybe

606
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:23.239
it won't be the Young Bucks,
but we know it will be. And

607
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:27.159
so you start thinking, well,
they wouldn't put that line in there unless

608
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:29.400
that was the direction they were going
in, and so well, well,

609
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:35.199
well, well, well well how
about that whot the one who's been crowing

610
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:39.079
now for weeks about the right story
for Sting going into his final match,

611
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:44.519
and it's not a singles match with
Darby, and it's not anything but Sting

612
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:50.840
going for the AEW Tag Team titles
in his final match and winning them,

613
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:55.760
retiring undefeated he and Darby. I'm
I mean, he and Darby have never

614
00:45:55.880 --> 00:46:01.760
challenged for the tag team titles before, which is to me, but here

615
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:07.079
we are now heading into their final
match and finally they are staking their acclaim.

616
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:13.320
We are going after the aw World
Tag Team titles, and they're gonna

617
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:16.800
give the people of Greensboro a great
moment there. With Sting winning and retiring

618
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:21.719
as tag team Champion, they can
vacate the titles and Tony Khan can do

619
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:23.719
what he loves to do and have
a tournament after revolution. That's fine,

620
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:30.760
but the Young Bucks have to win
the tag team titles before revolution unless they

621
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:35.239
do a three way and it's Stinging
Darby, the Young Bucks, Ricky Starks

622
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:38.239
and Big Bill. I don't like
that. It's it's not clean enough.

623
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:42.800
We need a clean match, one
on one, two on two that's in

624
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.599
none of this triple threat fatal four
way eight man tag bullshit. I don't

625
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:51.480
want to see. If the Young
Bucks are Sting's choice for Revolution, then

626
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.239
the Young Bucks should win the aw
Tag team titles from Ricky Starks in Big

627
00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:59.639
Bill, they have six weeks to
go until revolution. You get those belts

628
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:02.199
on the bus. The Bucks go
to Revolution, they defend the belts against

629
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:06.880
Sting and Darby. Sting and Darby
win, they go out as tag team

630
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:10.440
champions, and then you can do
whatever the hell you want to do coming

631
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.119
out of Revolution. But that's why
that line was put in there. It's

632
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:21.119
the right story. That's why I
pitched it, because it makes sense.

633
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:25.360
It's the feel good story. Not
everybody who retires has to go out on

634
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:30.719
their back, putting somebody else over. Sting is not going to have a

635
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:34.079
singles match. I might feel differently
if it was a one on one match.

636
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.159
I certainly wouldn't want Sting winning the
world title and then you retire.

637
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:43.320
You know, he retires and you
vacate the world title. But you know

638
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.000
that Sting is doing a tag match. He does not feel that he can

639
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:50.400
do a singles match. If he
did, he would have done one.

640
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:54.360
Tony Khan would have given this man
whatever he wants. If Sting wanted to

641
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:59.400
stick out one more year at aw
and he wanted a pay raise, Tony

642
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:01.639
Khan would have been he would have
backed up the brinkstruck. He would have

643
00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:07.880
given this man anything he wanted.
Sometimes you go with the best story.

644
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.719
You give the people what they want. And the people in Greensborough are gonna

645
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:14.119
want to see Sting go out a
winner. They're gonna want to see him

646
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:19.280
go out a champion. It's the
right move to make. Now we wait

647
00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:22.199
and see if they get the belts
on the Bucks beforehand, or if they

648
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:27.000
go about this some other way,
because it's not gonna be Stinging Darby against

649
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:30.719
Ricky and Bill. The Bucks are
gonna be in there in some way,

650
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:34.639
but I would much prefer they do
a straight tag match and none of this

651
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:43.159
triple threat nonsense. We had Bullet
Club Gold, They've got new music against

652
00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:45.519
Brian Cage and the Gates of Agony
for the Ring of Honor six man tag

653
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:50.960
team titles. If you're wondering what
the hell happened to Juice Robinson, Juice

654
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:54.800
has a bad back. He had
back surgery and he may be out for

655
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:59.800
a while. At the time,
it was said that it wasn't overly serious

656
00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:04.639
that would keep him out for six
months or a year. I believe he

657
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:07.440
only had the surgery maybe a month
and a half ago. I don't know

658
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.639
how much longer he'll be out for, but he it's back surgery. So

659
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:14.079
look, when you have back surgery, you're gonna be out for a while.

660
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:17.840
So that's where he is. I'll
tell you what I don't understand.

661
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:25.000
I don't understand why we still have
Ring of Honor titles being defended on aw

662
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:30.440
television. I thought that we were
getting away from this, and here we

663
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.760
are we have the Ring of Honor
world six man titles being defended here on

664
00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:39.199
Dynamite. And so here's my question
to Tony Kahn. If you are going

665
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:45.519
to defend Ring of Honor titles freely
on aw television, If you're going to

666
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:49.679
do that, here's my question.
Why do we never see the Ring of

667
00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:52.880
Honor women's world title defended on any
of these shows? Why is a theme

668
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:58.400
of the one person who literally is
exclusive? I mean, I guess she

669
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:00.239
was in the Owenhart Tournament last year, but it feels like she is the

670
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:04.880
only one, the only champion,
the only real star on that roster who

671
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:09.639
truly is exclusive to Ring of Honor. Why is that? Why do we

672
00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:14.119
watch this and see the Ring of
Honor six man tag team titles on television,

673
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:17.480
but we can't see Athena defend her
title. What's the difference. I'll

674
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:20.960
tell you what the difference is.
The difference is that I guess it would

675
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:27.199
exceed the quota or whatever whatever benchmark
Tony Khan has said for the maximum number

676
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:30.840
of allowable women's matches on the show
week to week. He can't go beyond

677
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:34.679
that number. Evidently, I don't
know, I can't come up with any

678
00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:38.920
other good reason for Brian Cage.
By the way he was in this match.

679
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:44.000
He was wrestling with a torn lap
muscle, which sounds like a very

680
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:47.280
bad idea. He's somebody, especially
somebody who does power moves, to be

681
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.639
wrestling with with a torn anything.
But he mentioned that on his social media

682
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:55.280
that he tore his lat in a
match a few weeks ago, and he's

683
00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:02.079
still out there wrestling Austin Gunn.
He would isolated through the commercial break in

684
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:07.599
the middle of the match. I
mean they certainly worked the match like babyfaces.

685
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:12.199
I mean clearly they were the baby
faces here in this match. And

686
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:14.639
look, I mean, if they're
gonna go through with this whole Bang Bang

687
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:19.599
Scissor Gang union with the Acclaimed and
Billy Gunn, then I guess they would

688
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:23.559
have to be babyfaces. When things
came back, Austin made the hot tag

689
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:28.679
to Colton, who ran wild and
actually got a nice reaction. Colton showed

690
00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:34.599
off his athleticism some corner splashes,
he hit his father's old one and only

691
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:38.559
finish only got two. Colton wanted
a famouser. He turned his back,

692
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:43.679
though, and was met with a
pounce from toa Leona. We got a

693
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:47.480
swinging assisted power bomb that led to
a Bishop Cone air raid crash for a

694
00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:52.840
near fall. Cage tried to whip
Leona into j White and Austin Gunn,

695
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:55.960
who both dodged it, and Leona
flew over the barricade into the timekeepers area.

696
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.559
Cage got dropped with the three ten
to Yuma by the guns, leaving

697
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:06.880
Cone in White alone. Prince Nana
then tripped up Jay White, which allowed

698
00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:10.960
Cone to hit a fireman's carry gutbuster
for two. Cone took the referee and

699
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:17.119
Nana wanted a belt shot, but
here comes Anthony Bowens and Bowens sprints down

700
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:22.079
to the ring and he took the
title away from him. Jay White then

701
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:25.760
laid out Cone with a blade runner
and he pinned him to win the match

702
00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:30.039
and the Ring of Honor World six
Man titles for Bullet Club Gold. After

703
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:34.360
the match, the acclaimed and Billy
Gunn they stood on stage with their aw

704
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:39.800
Trios titles because we got two of
them. We have two sets of trios

705
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:45.440
titles now on this show, and
Bullet Club Gold had their belts in the

706
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:50.199
ring. They realized that it was
Anthony Bowen's assist that helped get them the

707
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:53.159
win. So now we have two
sets of trios champions on this show,

708
00:52:53.840 --> 00:52:58.800
which is completely unnecessary, but obviously
this is going to play into the story

709
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:00.960
they're telling with Bullet Club and the
Acclaim. Then they're gonna tease it out

710
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:06.039
for a while and eventually we're probably
gonna get the union between them, or

711
00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:09.440
Bullet Club Gold will just sucker them
in and say, hey, fuckers,

712
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:13.280
you know you fell for it,
and then they'll go back to being heels,

713
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.880
which honestly is what I would prefer. I kind of hope that it

714
00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:21.840
is all just a swerve and we're
not gonna get Jay White roped into this

715
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:27.239
nonsense. But if they're gonna do
this, if they're gonna do what I

716
00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:30.880
think they're gonna do, which is
build to a match of revolution between the

717
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:35.039
two sides, just unify the belts. At that point, Do we really

718
00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:38.480
need two sets of trios titles,
even Ring of Honor itself, even if

719
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:42.199
they were just on Ring of Honor? Do we need Ring of Honor six

720
00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:45.840
men tag team belts? I mean, you could argue, do do we

721
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:50.679
even need aw Trio's belts at this
point? If you were gonna keep one

722
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:53.000
over the other those would be the
ones that you would keep. We don't

723
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:57.760
need two sets of belts, we
really don't. And I feel like we

724
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:00.719
see these belts at least as much, if not more so, on AAW

725
00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:04.360
than we even see the mun Ring
of Honors. So just unify them,

726
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:13.599
Just unify them into one. Adam
Cole was backstage with Wardlow, who Cole

727
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:17.159
said has not even scratched the surface
of what he is capable of being in

728
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:22.119
the Undisputed Kingdom makes Wardlow unbeatable.
He said that Wardlow is going to go

729
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:30.360
down as the most dominant AW wrestler
of all time. Wardlow will mow down

730
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:35.159
everybody until there's no one left in
the AW. World title is the property

731
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:39.519
of the Undisputed Kingdom, and Wardlow, in response to all this, used

732
00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:47.000
Adam Cole's line and simply said boom
to close out the promo. Vince McMahon's

733
00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:51.519
vision has finally been realized. It
hit me like a ton of bricks as

734
00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:55.400
I'm watching this segment. I'm watching
Adam Cole stand there in the back next

735
00:54:55.400 --> 00:55:00.039
to the big Man cutting a promo
for him like a mana and it just

736
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:04.280
hit me like a bolt of lightning
that Vince McMahon's vision has been realized.

737
00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:08.440
Adam Cole is a manager for the
Big Guy. It took a while,

738
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:14.079
but he finally got there. This
is where we are. Adam Cole is

739
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:17.800
officially a manager. See he was
right all along. I guess he knew

740
00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:24.719
all along. Timeless Tony's storm.
I love Timeless Tony Store one of my

741
00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:30.599
favorite parts of the show. She
was out to do commentary with Luther and

742
00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:35.360
Variah May standing behind her. Out
to do commentary for Dianna Pirazzo one on

743
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:39.880
one with Anna j. Parrazzo was
honing in on Anna's taped up right shoulder.

744
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:45.519
After dodging a corner charge, Jay
had a neck breaker through the ropes

745
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:51.639
on the apron before they went to
the picture and picture break. Pirazzo mounted

746
00:55:51.679 --> 00:55:53.920
her comeback with a knee left leg
sweep combo and then followed with a pump

747
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:59.079
kick for two. Jay answered with
the backstabber and then Piazzo sank in a

748
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:01.559
fujiwara ar bar, but Ana Jay
was able to make it to the ropes.

749
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.800
Both ladies got up. They traded
four arms. Perazzo sidestepped the home

750
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:12.920
run shot and then sank in the
venus de Milo for the verbal submission,

751
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:16.599
so another win here her second win
for Deanna Parazzo. She got her first

752
00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:22.519
win on Collision over Red Velvet and
now Here over Ana j Tony Storm.

753
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:27.760
Though during this match they would cut
back to her and Tony Storm. She

754
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:32.400
was wild. On commentary, she
was feeding macaroons, which were very good,

755
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:37.119
by the way, coconut macaroons,
fucking awesome. I'd love for her

756
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:42.039
to feed macaroons to me. How
do I get that job? Ian Rick

757
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:45.039
ABBONI, Hey, he had the
job, the job of the night tonight.

758
00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:50.320
He sat there on commentary he was
being fed hand fed macaroons by Tony

759
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:54.039
Storm, who thought that Ian was
Tony Shavanni, and she was complimenting him

760
00:56:54.039 --> 00:57:00.880
on his new haircut and shaving his
beard, called him chevone. She thought

761
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:06.719
he was Tony Shavanni but looked better. And then at one point during the

762
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:08.960
match, she also said to Ian, I don't know what you're doing with

763
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:16.280
your feet under this table, but
please do it harder. Everyone. I

764
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:20.639
don't care what you do in life, whatever it is that you do for

765
00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:22.320
a living. When you wake up
in the morning and you go to work,

766
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:29.440
everyone should aspire to have as much
fun at their job, as Tony

767
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:35.159
Storm is having at hers because she
is clearly enjoying herself and clearly relishing in

768
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:40.639
this gimmick, and I'm loving It's
one of my favorite things on AW television.

769
00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:46.119
So after the match, Renee got
in the ring and asked Dianna Pirazzo

770
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:50.159
if she had anything to say to
Tony's Storm, and Dianna said that she

771
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:53.880
doesn't know what's gotten into Tony.
They used to be like sisters, and

772
00:57:53.960 --> 00:58:01.519
it's clear since she arrived in AW
that Tony has changed, but so has

773
00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:06.840
she. She said, you might
have been friends with Dianna Pirazzo, but

774
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:10.440
you have never met the greatest technical
women's wrestler in the world. Mayu e

775
00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:15.239
Watani. No, she said,
the greatest technical women's wrestler in the world,

776
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:20.440
the Virtue wolfso and so Tony Storm. On the outside of the ring,

777
00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:23.679
she took the mic and she said
technical, you want technical, And

778
00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:29.360
at that point Luther picked her up
on his shoulders and she called Dianna an

779
00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:35.280
artificially tenned hag. My past is
none of your concern. I ought to

780
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:40.800
march into that ring and sock you
right in that box. But we must

781
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:45.599
go to commercial Darling, so chin
up, tits out and watch for the

782
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:49.679
shoe. And she threw her shoe
at her in the ring. Dianna then

783
00:58:49.719 --> 00:58:52.840
threw the shoe back at her.
I think it landed in the front row

784
00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:57.119
somewhere, might have hit somebody in
the head. And Luther carried and she

785
00:58:57.199 --> 00:59:00.960
was still talking in the mic,
and she carried Tony to the back on

786
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:05.880
his shoulders. I mean, what
more can be said? What more can

787
00:59:05.880 --> 00:59:08.920
be said? She's out there feeding
macaroons to Ian Ricaboni, She's talking about

788
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:14.760
hitting people in their box. You
know this woman. What can't this woman

789
00:59:14.840 --> 00:59:17.960
do? There's no limits to what
this woman can do. She doesn't even

790
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:22.559
need the title at this point.
Honestly, it's almost like the title is

791
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:24.119
being wasted on her. You can
put the title on somebody else and just

792
00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:27.599
let her go out there and Sho'll
be the star of the division no matter

793
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:31.039
what. But I'm still hoping we
get Jamie Hayter back soon, even though

794
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:36.360
they are telling did you mean the
slow burn with Mariah May? Maybe Mariah

795
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:37.480
May will be the one to beat
her for the belt, But at some

796
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:42.559
point I would like to get a
Jamie Hayter Tony store match again that was

797
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:45.679
a very different Tony Storm, but
full Gear two years ago. The last

798
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:52.519
time we saw them Wressel we had
Private Party against Top Flight. Speaking of

799
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:55.719
full Gear from two years ago,
that would be around the time that Mark

800
00:59:55.760 --> 01:00:01.000
Kwen got hurt. So it's been
they were thirteen months since we have seen

801
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:06.119
him and they finally you know,
I couldn't remember what the injury even was.

802
01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:08.239
He was out for so long,
and yeah, I would see him,

803
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:10.679
he would visit at the House of
Glory shows and I didn't, you

804
01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:13.960
know, I'd talk to him briefly, but I didn't want to get into,

805
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:15.480
like I was the injury and all
that stuff. I left him alone.

806
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:20.480
But it was a torn peck.
For some reason, I thought it

807
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:22.639
was maybe a shoulder injury or a
bicep for something. Was a torn peck.

808
01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:28.119
And so over thirteen months on the
shelf, it has been that long

809
01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.199
since we have seen Private Party in
the ring together. So it's been a

810
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:34.719
very long time. And you know, you also hear you had Top Flight

811
01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:37.280
and Private Party. Top Flight has
had their share of injuries too. Darius

812
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:43.079
Martin was snaked bitten for a while. Dante with that disgusting injury at the

813
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:45.480
Ring of Honor pay per view almost
a year ago. So all of these

814
01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:50.440
men, except maybe Isaiah, they've
all dealt with their share of injury issues,

815
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:53.079
so it was nice to see them
all healthy for a change. Mark

816
01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:58.800
Quinn hit four dives at one point, consecutive dives. He went from one

817
01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:01.159
side of the ring to the other
because each member of Top Flight was outside

818
01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:06.159
the ring out opposing sides, and
so he hit dives out on both sides.

819
01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:08.400
Then back in the ring, he
hit a four to fifty splash only

820
01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:14.119
got a two count. Dante answered
with a ripcord jumping knee and a thrust

821
01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:17.960
kick, and then Darius got a
flatliner for a two count of his own.

822
01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:22.199
Isaiah Cassidy entered. He laid out
Dante with a corkscrew kick and then

823
01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:27.039
the gin and juice Darius, who
was the legal man he jumped in.

824
01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:30.480
He got immediately rolled up by Mark
Quinn, who grabbed a whole of the

825
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:35.280
rope. He grabbed a hold of
the rope right at the last second for

826
01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:38.719
that little bit of added leverage to
get the pin and to steal the wind

827
01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:43.760
for private party. After the match, Action Andretti came to the ring.

828
01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:47.920
Top Flight was very upset over the
finish. Meanwhile, Private Parties out there,

829
01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:52.719
they're dancing around, they're celebrating and
partying in the crowd with the fans,

830
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:58.039
the announcers. At first they weren't
sure if he grabbed the rope on

831
01:01:58.159 --> 01:02:00.559
purpose or by accident, and look, what the fuck are you watching?

832
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:02.920
Of course it was on purpose,
and then they aired a replay and it

833
01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:07.320
was pretty clear he did it on
purpose. Maybe the smirk is what gave

834
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:12.840
it away, but yes, he
grabbed the ropes on purpose. So does

835
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:17.519
this mean a heel turn for Private
Party? Not necessarily, but it's possible.

836
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:22.039
I don't know if they're gonna do
that or not. But one thing

837
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:23.599
I do know, I'd like to
see more from these two teams, and

838
01:02:23.639 --> 01:02:27.440
the way they did the finish here
in this match leaves it open for them

839
01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:30.400
to do more matches. These are
two of the young teams in this company.

840
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:35.840
Private Party was set back because of
the injury to Mark Winn and Isaiah

841
01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:38.800
Cassidy was doing stuff with the hard
Ease brothers. Zay, you know,

842
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:44.000
at least he had something to do, so the injury is what set them

843
01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:49.039
back. Top flight again besieged by
injuries over the last couple of years.

844
01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:52.519
If they can stay healthy, these
are two teams that Tony Kahan should be

845
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:57.639
focusing on in that tag team division. Private Party against Top Flight could be

846
01:02:57.639 --> 01:03:02.199
an AW tag team title match down
the road at some point if those titles.

847
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:07.239
If I'm right and we go to
Revolution and Sting and Darby win the

848
01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:12.159
belt and then vacate them and they
have a tournament Top Flight in Private Party,

849
01:03:12.199 --> 01:03:15.239
who's to say they don't meet in
the finals of that tournament or during

850
01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:20.599
the tournament at some point. So
I'd like to see more from these two.

851
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:27.599
And then it was main event time, commercial free main event for the

852
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:34.719
AW World Championship Samoa Joe defending his
new title against the twenty eight and one.

853
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:38.880
Hook had a big fight feel here
with the big ring introductions. Before

854
01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:45.480
the match started, the crowd was
chanting Joe over and over again, and

855
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:47.519
as soon as the bell rung,
Hook took it to Joe right away.

856
01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:51.719
He didn't waste any time. He
went right after the champion. There was

857
01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:54.840
no colord elbow tie up, there
was no handshake. He took it right

858
01:03:54.880 --> 01:04:00.159
to Joe. Joe threw him out
of the ring. Hook jumped off the

859
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:04.159
barricade at ringside when Joe came out
and took him down with a forearm.

860
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:10.360
Back in the ring, Joe annihilated
this kid with a running back elbow.

861
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:14.559
I mean, he just wiped him
out. Joe fired away with body shots

862
01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:16.960
in the corner. He whipped him
into the far side, hit another charging

863
01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:21.159
elbow and then a kick to the
head. Joe hit a PK and then

864
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:25.800
covered him, but Hook slipped out. Hooke got up. He tried for

865
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:30.519
a te bowe but Joe put a
stop to that. He did put Joe

866
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:32.960
down though, and he hit a
sliding clothesline, so they both ended up

867
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:38.360
outside, at which point Hook got
up on the apron and he did a

868
01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:43.760
running, diving forearm off the apron
that took Joe down. He tried for

869
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:47.840
another t bone. Now this time
Hook was trying to t bone him onto

870
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:50.679
or through the announced desk. They
were right in front of the announcers,

871
01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:56.239
right in front of Taz. Joe
stuffed the attempt and he'd delivered No,

872
01:04:56.480 --> 01:05:00.159
it's not even It wouldn't even do
it justice to sit here and tell tell

873
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.800
you that he delivered a urinagi.
We see a urinagi in almost every match.

874
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:06.480
Okay, we see Joe do it. We see Solo so Cooed do

875
01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:11.679
it. We see Jay White do
it. We see Uranagi's all the time.

876
01:05:13.360 --> 01:05:19.719
What we got here was a spinning
Urinagi and Joe. I mean he

877
01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:25.679
wrecked him. He absolutely wrecked him
onto the lid of the announced desk,

878
01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:28.400
which you would think, all right, the lid is there to protect him.

879
01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:31.960
He hit the edge of that fucking
table so hard the table collapsed.

880
01:05:32.320 --> 01:05:38.000
He didn't even land on the table. He got thrown into the table and

881
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:42.920
the table collapsed. I've seen people
land on the table and do far more

882
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:45.719
and the table does not collapse.
I mean he really did. He had

883
01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:51.000
these red welts on his back.
Joe was so proud of himself. I

884
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:56.039
mean he's flailing it. He looked
like Vince mcmay's flailing his arms as he's

885
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.360
circling around the ring. And the
referee goes over to check on Hook.

886
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:04.960
So Joe marches back over, and
when he marches back over, Hook looks

887
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:09.679
up at him and he flips him
the double bird. Right, we saw

888
01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:12.679
that with Dustin Rhodes. That's what
I was talking about earlier in the opener.

889
01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:16.840
So he flips him off. So
Joe picks him up at a power

890
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:20.320
bomb position and he power bombs Hook
on the ring Apron. He gives him

891
01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:26.159
an Apron power bomb, and now
Hook is down flat on his face on

892
01:06:26.199 --> 01:06:30.199
the floor. Referee is checking on
him. The doctor comes over to check

893
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:34.000
on him. Taz said, look, I'm gonna put my headset down because

894
01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:38.360
ex Caliber said, I'm sure this
is tough for you to see. And

895
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:40.519
Taz is like, you know what, I'm gonna take my headset off for

896
01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:46.079
a second, obviously expressing concern for
his boy. So Joe got back in

897
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:51.559
the ring. Bryce Ramsburg now begins
his count and when Bryce got to the

898
01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:55.159
count of nine, Hook was back
up to his feet. He shoved Doc

899
01:06:55.239 --> 01:06:59.960
Samson away and he dove back into
the ring. Joe got off a snap

900
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:02.960
power slam and he covered him.
Hook kicked out. Joe then got him

901
01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:05.880
up on his shoulders and he dropped
him with a death valley driver, and

902
01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:12.480
again Hook kicked out. Joe got
hooked seated on the top rope, and

903
01:07:12.519 --> 01:07:15.039
you know what that means. He
got him up on his shoulders in position

904
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:20.199
for the muscle buster, and he
dropped him and that was it. That

905
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:23.920
should have been it right, he
hit the musclebuster on this kid. That's

906
01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:29.239
his finish ninety nine, it's all
over. We've seen Joe win titles before

907
01:07:29.239 --> 01:07:33.079
with that move. Hits the muscle
buster, he covers Hook. Not only

908
01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:40.239
was this not it, Hook kicked
out at one. Joe let this fucker

909
01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:45.559
kick out of the musclebuster at one. Right. That says a lot.

910
01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:47.519
I mean when I say Joe gave
him a lot and made him look like

911
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:51.920
a million bucks. This right here
is the biggest reason why that's a big

912
01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:57.039
deal. Because you might say,
people who didn't like the fact that Hook

913
01:07:57.119 --> 01:07:59.400
was even getting a title matter,
thought it was a joke, like what

914
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:02.199
has he ever done? Right?
Well, again, at least they've taken

915
01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:08.559
care to build up a record for
him where you could at least justify the

916
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:12.440
fact that, Okay, this kid's
twenty eight to one. He's spitting out

917
01:08:12.440 --> 01:08:17.319
a challenge. Okay, all right, fine, right, but when you

918
01:08:17.399 --> 01:08:23.920
do something like this, this is
how you help get somebody over. You

919
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:28.239
don't just do that for anybody.
He was doing him a huge solid by

920
01:08:28.319 --> 01:08:30.960
letting him kick out of that move. And because of that, because we

921
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:35.359
never see people kick out at one, usually, not even at three from

922
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:40.359
the musclebuster, the crowd erupted.
Joe had a look on his face like

923
01:08:40.399 --> 01:08:43.800
he couldn't believe it. So Hook
gets up, He hits the ropes.

924
01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:45.560
He comes off with a clothes line. He comes off again with a second

925
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:48.640
clothes line. He comes off again
with a third clothes line. He's building

926
01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:53.079
momentum. Now you can hear the
crowd. It's building right now. They're

927
01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:58.600
getting behind this kid. They want
to see him win that championship. Taz

928
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:00.720
is on commentary. He cut obviously. I don't know what he said what

929
01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:05.039
they censored it, so obviously he
said something. Hook got Joe up and

930
01:09:05.079 --> 01:09:10.760
he took him over for a t
bone souplex. The fans at this point

931
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:14.000
they were losing their minds. Hook
tried to lock in red rum, but

932
01:09:14.039 --> 01:09:17.199
he countered out of it, and
Joe locked on the Coquina clutch, and

933
01:09:17.239 --> 01:09:20.880
that's never a good thing. He
got him trapped in the clutch right in

934
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:25.359
the middle of the ring. Hook
tried to fight out of it, he

935
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:30.560
faded. Eventually he went out.
Bryce Ramsburg lifted the arm once, He

936
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:33.159
lifted the arm twice. He lifted
the arm for a third time, and

937
01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:41.560
just like MJF at World's End,
the arm went down and still your AW

938
01:09:41.680 --> 01:09:48.399
World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe. Joe
leaves the ring and Hook starts to get

939
01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:51.720
back up, and he's he's screaming
at Joe, that's all you got,

940
01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:57.760
That's all you got. Joe gets
back in the ring, he kicks this

941
01:09:57.880 --> 01:10:00.600
kid right in the crotch, puts
them back on the top rope, gets

942
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:09.279
him back on his shoulders, and
he delivers a second musclebuster. Hook is

943
01:10:09.319 --> 01:10:13.800
getting up again. He's starting to
get up again this time though. As

944
01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:17.479
Joe slides back into the ring,
we hear Hangman pages music and he sprints

945
01:10:17.520 --> 01:10:23.199
down to the ring. Joe bails
and as Joe is retreating up the ramp,

946
01:10:23.239 --> 01:10:27.239
he looks over back at ringside in
the crowd, he can see Swerve,

947
01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:30.319
Stripland and Prince Nana, And now
his eyes get all large because he

948
01:10:30.439 --> 01:10:35.760
realizes that he is surrounded here in
the ring and in the crowd by challengers

949
01:10:35.920 --> 01:10:40.880
to his throne. He is surrounded
by people who are gunning for him.

950
01:10:40.920 --> 01:10:44.720
He's got a target on his back
and his front. These two men want

951
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:48.720
him and they want that AW World
title. So Joe left Hangman turned his

952
01:10:48.760 --> 01:10:53.720
attention to Swerve in the crowd.
They stared at each other. Swerve smiled

953
01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:57.319
and he ended up leaving. Hangman
went to go help Hook to his feet.

954
01:10:57.359 --> 01:11:01.640
They played Hook's music. Hook lightly
push him back, I don't need

955
01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:09.079
your help, and Hook left on
his own with his FTW time and he

956
01:11:09.119 --> 01:11:13.159
got a nice reaction on the way
out. This went a little under ten

957
01:11:13.199 --> 01:11:18.880
minutes. It was very nice to
have the commercial free aspect here. It

958
01:11:18.920 --> 01:11:23.000
would have really killed the flow of
the match if we had to do a

959
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:25.720
you know, one last picture in
pictures. So it was nice to not

960
01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:30.520
have to worry about any commercials here
during this match. This is a great

961
01:11:30.520 --> 01:11:33.720
main event. This was a great
main event. Joe came off like a

962
01:11:33.840 --> 01:11:39.680
killer. Hook got to show a
ton of guts. Everything Joe threw at

963
01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:42.640
him, he kept coming back.
He flipped him off, He kicked out

964
01:11:42.680 --> 01:11:45.840
at one. Is that all you
got? Because they knew you he was

965
01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:50.359
losing. Hook has not lost very
often. He's lost one match before,

966
01:11:51.439 --> 01:11:55.960
which was who was It was a
Jack Perry? I think right, I

967
01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:59.159
think that that was the one blemish
on his record. I think coming into

968
01:11:59.199 --> 01:12:03.840
this match tonight, I think it
was against Jack Perry, but they knew

969
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:06.479
he was losing. So how do
you protect this kid and make him look

970
01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:13.520
good in defeat? If everything about
him has been about his record, Now

971
01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:18.800
he's gonna lose, how do you
protect him? That's how he hasn't backed

972
01:12:18.840 --> 01:12:24.560
down. He took it to Joe
from the opening bell and he never let

973
01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:29.520
up. He t boned this guy. I mean, he had the crowd

974
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:33.159
in the palm of his hand.
Hook has not been this over in many

975
01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:36.960
months because he's definitely cooled off from
when he was at the apex of his

976
01:12:38.039 --> 01:12:42.680
popularity. There he was like this
phenom who came out of nowhere and then

977
01:12:42.720 --> 01:12:45.520
he kind of came back down to
earth and he hasn't been this over in

978
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:51.479
a very long time. He lost
nothing from this lost to Samoa Joe today.

979
01:12:51.520 --> 01:12:56.760
He gained is what he did.
And I agree with the people who

980
01:12:56.840 --> 01:13:00.479
made the comparisons to the Undertaker and
Jeff Hardy thing from two thousand too.

981
01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:03.800
Joe didn't endorse him or anything like
that when the match was over, but

982
01:13:03.840 --> 01:13:06.960
it was very similar. You know
when that match, Undertaker gave Jeff a

983
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:12.239
lot They really built. Everybody was
dying to see the Undertaker lose that title,

984
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:15.119
and this could be Jeff's big moment, This could be his breakout moment

985
01:13:15.199 --> 01:13:19.640
here, and then it wasn't he
fell short but undertaker. When that match

986
01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:23.239
was over, man, he knew
that he was in a fight, and

987
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:26.720
even though he was a heel,
he didn't pick him up and beat him

988
01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:29.720
up kick him in the balls,
although I guess that's what Joe did here.

989
01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:31.760
He kicked him in the balls.
But you know, he basically said,

990
01:13:32.199 --> 01:13:35.920
all right, you earn my respect. Good job, kid, And

991
01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:40.359
it was a very similar thing here
tonight with Hook. So Hook's gonna be

992
01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:44.199
just fine. You know, there's
a lot of promise in his future.

993
01:13:44.239 --> 01:13:48.680
He's still a long ways away from
even being considered as far as being a

994
01:13:48.680 --> 01:13:51.319
world champion. I mean, he's
still very new and very green, but

995
01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:58.119
obviously there's something there and if they
continue to take their time and build it.

996
01:13:58.439 --> 01:14:00.520
Honestly, I think somebody like him
made this comment about Charlie Dempsey.

997
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:04.800
A few weeks ago. Regals Kid
wwe worked out a deal to send Regals

998
01:14:04.880 --> 01:14:11.159
Kid to All Japan and he wrestled
for the Triple Crown against Nakajima, and

999
01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:13.880
from what I saw of the match, they had a hell of a match,

1000
01:14:14.479 --> 01:14:16.159
and I thought, man, what
a shame, What a shame that

1001
01:14:16.239 --> 01:14:21.479
Regals kid is in developmental right now
in Orlando, because he is someone who

1002
01:14:21.479 --> 01:14:26.479
I think would have thrived if he
would have gone to Japan first. And

1003
01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:30.520
I don't mean just like a one
off match. I mean go over there

1004
01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:33.439
and do tours and work over there. He would have thrived, and then

1005
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:36.760
he would have been a beast by
the time he decided to come either to

1006
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:42.319
WWE or AW but he would be
a good fit. I feel like someone

1007
01:14:42.399 --> 01:14:46.840
like Hook would benefit from spending some
time in Japan. I just feel like,

1008
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:51.039
again, he's a young guy,
and so why not. Why not

1009
01:14:51.119 --> 01:14:54.920
say it was almost like sending him
on an excursion, you know, to

1010
01:14:55.399 --> 01:14:58.680
Japan for a little while there.
I feel like someone like him would really

1011
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:00.840
benefit, like just the style he
works with, the soup plexes and everything.

1012
01:15:02.239 --> 01:15:06.520
But again, I love this main
event, and now it's pretty clear

1013
01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:13.000
we are heading for a triple threat
at Revolution Samoa, Joe Hangman, Page,

1014
01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:15.880
Swerve Strickland. I think they're going
to keep the belt on Joe for

1015
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:19.319
a while. I hope they do. You know, Swerve's time will come.

1016
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:24.840
It does not have to be at
Revolution, and especially because Revolution is

1017
01:15:24.880 --> 01:15:27.800
not going to be headlined by the
AW World title. I don't believe.

1018
01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:30.640
I believe that they're going to headline
with Sting's match, whatever it is,

1019
01:15:31.399 --> 01:15:35.560
especially if Sting is going for the
tag team titles. You're building everything around

1020
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:41.000
Sting. You're in Greensboro. The
show has sold almost sixteen thousand tickets so

1021
01:15:41.079 --> 01:15:45.960
far, we're still six weeks out. That doesn't happen, at least not

1022
01:15:46.039 --> 01:15:51.760
domestically. It doesn't happen with AW
shows six weeks out from a pay per

1023
01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:56.279
view or an episode of Dynamite or
something. They've sold ten thousand, fifteen

1024
01:15:56.319 --> 01:16:01.279
thousand tickets. That's Sting. That's
the of Sting wrestling his final match.

1025
01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:05.159
People want to be part of it. And so if that's going to headline

1026
01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:11.920
the show anyway, you could do
an AW World title change second from the

1027
01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:14.239
top. You may as well save
it for double or nothing. There's no

1028
01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:17.000
harm in giving Joe a run,
a real run, give him a run

1029
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:21.199
for several months, and then he
can drop the belt. So I think

1030
01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:25.720
that's your co main event at Revolution. It'll be a three way between those

1031
01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:31.159
guys for the AW World title.
So I enjoyed the show tonight. I

1032
01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:39.199
why doesn't Page go after the UK
the Undisputed Kingdom because he wants the world

1033
01:16:39.239 --> 01:16:44.720
title, He'll go after them.
It would make sense for him to go

1034
01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:46.920
after them. I think after he
loses it Revolution, he'll probably end up

1035
01:16:46.920 --> 01:16:54.560
going after Wardlow because he's got a
bone to pick with them. Yeah.

1036
01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:58.039
Paul Brett Hard against the one two
three Kit on rob Back in ninety four

1037
01:16:58.079 --> 01:17:02.359
is another good example. Absolutely.
But I enjoyed Dynamite tonight. I thought

1038
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:05.079
it was a good show. It's
a strong effort. I enjoyed the main

1039
01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:12.520
event. The Mark Brisco segment obviously
was very emotional for obvious reasons. The

1040
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:17.159
TNT title match was very good.
Timeless Tony Storm is great top flight and

1041
01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:21.239
private party. I enjoyed that match. Good to have those guys back.

1042
01:17:23.239 --> 01:17:26.039
So I thought it was a very
good show. Now, Rampage coming up

1043
01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:31.039
on Friday has Chris Jericho taking on
Matt Sidel. Chris stat Lander takes on

1044
01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:36.600
Queen Almanada, Penta takes on Anthony
Henry, and Darby Allen wrestles Jeff Hardy,

1045
01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:42.600
which I believe would be the first
time that they have wrestled since the

1046
01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:46.840
Owen Hart tournament. I believe right
before? What was that? Would that

1047
01:17:46.840 --> 01:17:53.920
have been right before Jeff got popped
for his duy? I think it was

1048
01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:58.439
right. So we'll have Darby and
Jeff and then on Collision. On Saturday,

1049
01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:02.359
Eddie Kingston and Orts take on Brian
Danielson in Claudio, Buddy Matthews takes

1050
01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:09.800
on Daniel Garcia, and John Moxley
returns. I didn't even know he was

1051
01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:12.760
gone. What was he gone?
For two weeks? He was in Japan.

1052
01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:15.680
Well, I know he's been back. He was at Battle in the

1053
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:20.880
Valley. So we'll get John Moxley
back on Collision. Have you missed him?

1054
01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:25.960
Have you missed John Moxley? He
hasn't been gone long enough for us

1055
01:18:26.039 --> 01:18:31.840
to miss him, and here he's
making his return. Eighty percent of you

1056
01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:36.880
have given tonight's Dynamite a thumbs up
score, twenty percent thumbs down. That's

1057
01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:42.079
that's an excellent score, the best
score Dynamite has gotten in a while at

1058
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:48.600
solom Monster. Go ahead and vote
again. The likes goal for tonight is

1059
01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:55.079
four hundred, and we're not there
yet. So if you want to do

1060
01:18:55.159 --> 01:18:57.520
be the booker, you only got
a few minutes left. Get those likes

1061
01:18:57.560 --> 01:19:00.960
and we're three to sixty. We
don't hit fourred, we don't do be

1062
01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:03.479
the booker. It's very simple,
all right, let's get to your superchats.

1063
01:19:04.239 --> 01:19:08.039
Doesn't look like we have a lot
to go through here, so we

1064
01:19:08.119 --> 01:19:13.039
might be getting out of here early. The Winston slip says, we'll start

1065
01:19:13.039 --> 01:19:17.840
with him. If Hook went to
WWE, he would have a pirate gimmick,

1066
01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:21.960
well back in the day he would
have probably not today, but yeah,

1067
01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:27.800
if you went to WWE ten years
ago, twenty years ago, thirty

1068
01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:31.880
years ago, you would have a
hook Bobby's world. I just want to

1069
01:19:31.920 --> 01:19:36.600
say, Dianna Parrazzo is stunning and
a damn good wrestler. Fight me,

1070
01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:45.000
not you solo, just anyone else, fight me. Yeah, there were

1071
01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:47.920
a lot of people when it comes
to Dianna Parazzo. There were a lot

1072
01:19:47.960 --> 01:19:51.439
of people who really showed their ass
and made some very stupid comments. This

1073
01:19:51.479 --> 01:19:57.680
week, Lady Firepen to thank you
for the twenty dollars. Pigeons don't exist,

1074
01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:02.319
birds are government spies? And when
are we getting the solemn monster bowling

1075
01:20:02.399 --> 01:20:15.720
video? No comment, No comment. Prince Vegeta says Hook kicking out of

1076
01:20:16.119 --> 01:20:20.960
one of the musclebusters is ridiculous mid
Carter's kickout of finishes too much. In

1077
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:26.520
aw it didn't bother me. It
does bother me in certain situations. In

1078
01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:31.039
that situation there, it didn't bother
me. I thought it worked. I

1079
01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:39.920
do agree that just kicking out of
finishers in general is overdone. It might

1080
01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:45.119
bother some people. I'm sure it
will. That did not bother Barry says,

1081
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:47.880
is is Eddie and Ray at WrestleMania
twenty one the best opening match in

1082
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:54.439
WrestleMania history? Or is there something
better? Yeah, it's called Brett Hart

1083
01:20:54.439 --> 01:20:58.960
and Owen Hard at WrestleMania ten.
It's either Brett Hart and Owen Hart at

1084
01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:05.800
wrestle many A ten or Triple h
and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania fourteen or fourteen.

1085
01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:14.960
I'm thinking twenty fourteen, WrestleMania thirty
in twenty fourteen. But I still

1086
01:21:14.960 --> 01:21:20.039
say it's Brett versus Owen. I
don't think anything's topped. Be calm.

1087
01:21:20.119 --> 01:21:27.760
See clearly, I'm a two time
victim slash survivor of gun violence, a

1088
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:35.359
two times survivor. Be calm.
Where do you live? How does that

1089
01:21:35.439 --> 01:21:39.840
happen twice? Well? I'm glad
you're still with us. If that's the

1090
01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:43.920
case, I don't know the circumstances. I don't know where you live,

1091
01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:51.439
but I mean, that's like being
struck by lightning twice. Well, I'm

1092
01:21:51.439 --> 01:21:54.920
sorry to hear that, but I'm
glad that you're with us. A shout

1093
01:21:54.920 --> 01:21:59.880
out to Issa in the chat Samoa, Joe killed a guy. He damned

1094
01:22:00.239 --> 01:22:02.760
killed a guy tonight. I said, I don't think I've ever seen somebody

1095
01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:05.960
hit the edge of the table like
that, like the way that hooked it.

1096
01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:09.760
And the table just basically gives up
and says, all right, it's

1097
01:22:09.760 --> 01:22:15.520
somemojoe, So we're gonna collapse.
And the table just collapsed on the spot,

1098
01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:21.880
Bender mcsimpson. Unless the plan is
to unify the aw and Ring of

1099
01:22:21.880 --> 01:22:27.399
Honor six man titles, this is
a waste of Jay White. Even if

1100
01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:30.359
that is the plan, it is
still a waste of Jay White. Uh

1101
01:22:30.439 --> 01:22:33.279
yeah, I mean, Jay White
is a champion now, but it doesn't

1102
01:22:33.319 --> 01:22:39.520
mean anything because those belts don't mean
shit. So hopefully they'll come up with

1103
01:22:39.760 --> 01:22:44.399
something a little bit better for him. But it looks like that's gonna be

1104
01:22:44.399 --> 01:22:47.800
the story going into revolution. They're
gonna stick with this acclaimed bullet club Gold

1105
01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:55.199
stuff again, it looks like their
babyface or going babyface, and maybe it'll

1106
01:22:55.239 --> 01:22:58.920
be a Swerve and then they could
do a unification and then Bullet Club Gold

1107
01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:08.640
can win and unify. The else
Bender also says Swerves promo gave me Jacob

1108
01:23:08.680 --> 01:23:14.279
the snake votes. Eh. I
don't know if I'd go that far.

1109
01:23:14.399 --> 01:23:24.239
But Dylan Hensley Good News just had
a meeting with Pops our head trainer and

1110
01:23:24.279 --> 01:23:30.439
promoter, and my debut was on
the horizon either February thir or February tenth.

1111
01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:36.840
He meant third, February thir or
February tenth. Well, you let

1112
01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:44.439
me know. I have a feeling
it will be on February third. But

1113
01:23:44.840 --> 01:23:51.359
that is very cool though. Congrats. You'll keep us posted. Oh I

1114
01:23:51.479 --> 01:24:00.279
like that. Nash DTV four ninety
nine. I wanted to ask, as

1115
01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:02.600
a Mets fan, how do you
deal with your team letting you down every

1116
01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:09.840
year? Like my Dallas Cowboys always
let me down. Well, after a

1117
01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:13.079
while, you would think the Cowboys
fans would be used to it by now,

1118
01:24:14.399 --> 01:24:18.880
you would think the Jerry Jones would
be used to it. I don't

1119
01:24:18.920 --> 01:24:21.760
know, man, Look, they
get your hopes up. Sometimes you think

1120
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:26.159
this year is going to be different, and then they let you down.

1121
01:24:27.319 --> 01:24:31.239
I've always said, you know,
when my time comes, and hopefully it

1122
01:24:31.279 --> 01:24:36.039
won't be for a very long time, but when my time comes, I

1123
01:24:36.079 --> 01:24:42.159
want the New York Mets to lower
my casket into the ground so they could

1124
01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:46.720
let me down one more time.
I think it's something the Mets fans and

1125
01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:54.960
the Cowboys fans have in common.
Ruby Goose to think the last time someone

1126
01:24:55.039 --> 01:25:00.840
in a Mets jersey won a championship
was Vince Russo in WCW. Thanks for

1127
01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:06.560
the screams, Bro. Was he
wearing a Mets jersey? Isn't he a

1128
01:25:06.640 --> 01:25:10.840
Yankees fan? I thought Russo was
a Yankees He's sure. Who wasn't wearing

1129
01:25:10.840 --> 01:25:16.079
a Yankees jersey? I know Russo
is a Yankee fan. I don't think

1130
01:25:16.079 --> 01:25:23.199
he would be wearing a Mets uniform. M Mills again, thank you for

1131
01:25:23.239 --> 01:25:29.000
the twenty eight dollars, Vic Joseph
Boots. Has it been determined who is

1132
01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:33.199
in the championship committee that Joe mentioned
or is Samoa Joe the championship committee?

1133
01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:44.319
They have not mentioned the original man
from Atlanta twenty twenty four. The Joe

1134
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:49.399
Hook match reminds me of the Undertaker
selling for Jeff Party. Yep. I

1135
01:25:49.439 --> 01:25:55.479
heard a lot of that tonight.
Omar Hook against Joe gave me Jeff Party

1136
01:25:55.520 --> 01:26:02.600
against Undertaker vibes yep, yep.
Rumpelmaine, don't even do it. Don't

1137
01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:11.600
even do it retro Koh, what
is your favorite Survivor Series tag match?

1138
01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:15.399
I am split between Team Austin against
Team Bischoff or Rob Versus SmackDown from five.

1139
01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:18.760
Team Austin against Team Bischoff, and
O three is tough to beat.

1140
01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:25.800
I mean that was not only was
it the last great Survivor Series elimination match,

1141
01:26:27.079 --> 01:26:31.760
it may well be the great Survivor
Series elimination match. I mean I

1142
01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:35.800
had some favorites. You know,
the one where the Undertaker debut in nineteen

1143
01:26:35.880 --> 01:26:40.760
ninety that came down to Breton Debasse
was always a favorite of mine. I

1144
01:26:40.880 --> 01:26:43.840
just I always liked it. I
always had a soft spot for it.

1145
01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:50.560
Yeah, you know what it may
well be. It may well be the

1146
01:26:50.560 --> 01:26:55.239
one from O three. I'm struggling
to come up with one that I think

1147
01:26:55.279 --> 01:27:00.079
would be better. And Egghead show
Joe putting Hook on the tape made me

1148
01:27:00.239 --> 01:27:03.720
WinCE or in the table. Yeah, I was gonna say he kind of

1149
01:27:03.760 --> 01:27:13.640
put him in the table more than
he put him on the table. Vince

1150
01:27:13.720 --> 01:27:20.840
Russo is a San Francisco Giants fan. Yeah that sounds about right. Guy

1151
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:28.119
from New York is a San Francisco
Giants fan. That sounds about right.

1152
01:27:29.279 --> 01:27:33.000
Omar says, Russo wore a Yankees
helmet and a Giants top. Okay,

1153
01:27:33.039 --> 01:27:38.800
so yeah, I mean he wasn't
wearing He wouldn't be wearing Mets stuff no

1154
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:44.800
matter what. Now he just reminded
me that Vince Russo won the WCW World

1155
01:27:44.800 --> 01:27:46.680
title, and now I'm pissed off
all over again. Let's be the booker,

1156
01:27:47.600 --> 01:27:54.720
Ladies and gentlemen. It is now
time to be the booker. H

1157
01:27:54.760 --> 01:28:04.479
former WCW World Champion Vince Russo.
Need I say more? Need I say

1158
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:15.399
more? Boney with the two bucks
better return twenty ten Brett or twenty eighteen

1159
01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:27.760
Seawn twenty Brett. I'm including Brett's
entire return from the moment he came back

1160
01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:30.439
on Raw, not not just the
awful wrestle media match with EVI Vince McMahon.

1161
01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:38.319
I still say Brett. All right, tag team, be the booker.

1162
01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:46.119
Here we go. We begin with
Los Matadors with El Turito. There

1163
01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:48.600
he is. Look at the tail. He's got the tail hanging down,

1164
01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:53.960
He's got the horns. Look at
this The person who the person before who

1165
01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:57.000
wrote in and said that if hook
had gone to WW they would he would

1166
01:28:57.000 --> 01:29:00.840
have had like a pirate gimmick.
Yeah, I give you exhibit A would

1167
01:29:00.840 --> 01:29:04.359
have been right around the same time
as this shit. Right here, El

1168
01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:14.920
Taurito and Los Matadors are going to
be taking on FTR. If it was

1169
01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:18.800
almost anybody else, I think I
would have given that the buzzer. FTR

1170
01:29:18.880 --> 01:29:24.960
though against the Mattadors would have been
actually a very good match, and then

1171
01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:28.159
they could have lifted the bull up
in the air and given him the shatter

1172
01:29:28.279 --> 01:29:36.920
machine, so that probably would have
made the whole thing worth it. All

1173
01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:45.520
right, women's be the booker.
We have Victoria. Victoria is not in

1174
01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:49.239
the Hall of Fame issue, I
don't believe. So. I don't believe

1175
01:29:49.319 --> 01:29:53.840
Victoria is in the Hall of Fame
yet. All Right, we have former

1176
01:29:53.880 --> 01:30:03.760
Women's champion in both WWE and aw
We're not aw TNA Victoria taking on Shana

1177
01:30:03.960 --> 01:30:12.960
Basler SHANEA. Bazil give me the
Killer SHANEA. Basler from that NXT title

1178
01:30:13.039 --> 01:30:21.079
run against Prime Victoria. I'll take
that. Then I'll take that, And

1179
01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:28.359
men's be the booker. It's main
event time, commercial free. You got

1180
01:30:28.359 --> 01:30:32.479
a commercial free Maine event here,
Men's be the booker. Begins with,

1181
01:30:32.680 --> 01:30:38.479
oh my god, he showed up
for work. This Isa still here,

1182
01:30:38.600 --> 01:30:46.640
she might she might explode. Roman
Reigns, the undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion,

1183
01:30:47.560 --> 01:30:54.600
has actually showed up for work.
Here in be the booker. I

1184
01:30:54.640 --> 01:31:01.000
feel so blessed. Who will he
step into the ring to defend his title

1185
01:31:01.039 --> 01:31:11.159
against? I don't know. Let's
find out if I can get this thing

1186
01:31:11.199 --> 01:31:18.039
to work. The wheel didn't want
to spin another drum roll. Let's pretend

1187
01:31:18.119 --> 01:31:30.039
that didn't happen. Roman rains one
on one with Pack. Roman Reigns and

1188
01:31:30.279 --> 01:31:35.560
Pack for the undisputed championship. Pac
Man that war, pac Man, I

1189
01:31:35.640 --> 01:31:42.760
bought myself. Oh I bought myself. I love it, I love it.

1190
01:31:42.800 --> 01:31:45.520
I was gonna say Pack though.
You know he had that great WWE

1191
01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:49.920
title match on Raw with Seth Rollins
back in twenty fifteen, and I'm sure

1192
01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:55.239
that he and Roman Reigns could put
on a banger. And by the way,

1193
01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:59.439
if you're wondering where Pack is,
he has been spotted recently behind the

1194
01:31:59.439 --> 01:32:03.560
scenes. He is on his way
back very soon. He's obviously state side,

1195
01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:09.840
so we should be seeing him.
Of course. Esa says that Pac

1196
01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:14.880
is going to get smashed. He
said, do you wish that you would

1197
01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:20.319
get smashed by Roman reigns? I
bet you do, right well. I

1198
01:32:20.439 --> 01:32:24.479
like that main event, and that, my friends, is what you call

1199
01:32:24.680 --> 01:32:31.199
a clean sweep. A clean sweep. We have gone three for three and

1200
01:32:31.239 --> 01:32:38.680
be the booker. That is how
you do it. We got a super

1201
01:32:38.800 --> 01:32:44.960
chat coming in here from SB the
Bully. Was there a mention of Taz

1202
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:48.640
and Joe's TNA history during the build
up of Joe and Hook? Would that

1203
01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:53.920
be an interesting twist should they revisit
the feud. I don't recall them mentioning

1204
01:32:53.960 --> 01:32:58.000
it, and it would be interesting. I mean I would have mentioned it.

1205
01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:00.800
Maybe they didn't. I just you
know, again, and didn't hear

1206
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:04.840
it. I don't think that they
mentioned it. And it's clear that Taz

1207
01:33:04.960 --> 01:33:10.800
is not going to get physical in
any way, like even in the slightest

1208
01:33:10.800 --> 01:33:12.840
way, He's not going to get
physical. He's not going to take a

1209
01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:16.960
bump, you know. Otherwise they
could have easily worked a spot into the

1210
01:33:16.960 --> 01:33:20.640
main event tonight, even postmatch where
maybe he put his hands on Taz and

1211
01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:24.000
you know, for what he did
to his kid, they didn't do that.

1212
01:33:26.159 --> 01:33:29.600
I would have mentioned it, but
again I don't remember. I don't

1213
01:33:29.600 --> 01:33:35.600
recall them saying anything about it.
Taz mentioned that he used to manage Joe,

1214
01:33:38.239 --> 01:33:41.199
so he did okay, So apparently
Taz mentioned it just kind of threw

1215
01:33:41.239 --> 01:33:46.319
it out there on commentary, not
so much in the build up. So

1216
01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:49.960
but they did mention it before the
match tonight, I'm being told. So

1217
01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:59.399
there you go, the bastard and
the tribal chief wrestlemaning a main event.

1218
01:33:59.479 --> 01:34:04.199
Indeed, well, we are still
waiting for an update on the condition of

1219
01:34:04.279 --> 01:34:09.000
seth Rawlins, and I kind of
feel like the silence is not a good

1220
01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:13.600
thing. They put an update out, and this was a little bit different

1221
01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:15.760
because they had a match stoppage on
the show, so they wanted to let

1222
01:34:15.840 --> 01:34:21.479
people know. When Austin Theory and
carmel O Hayes last week had their little,

1223
01:34:23.520 --> 01:34:27.800
you know, botched finish there where
they bopped heads and they canceled the

1224
01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:31.279
match, they updated people on social
media that they were okay. Here,

1225
01:34:31.319 --> 01:34:34.399
it was never acknowledged that Rollins may
have injured his knee on Monday night,

1226
01:34:34.439 --> 01:34:39.479
but he did, and supposedly he
went to go get an MRI. That

1227
01:34:39.640 --> 01:34:42.840
was on Monday. He would have
maybe had the MRI yesterday. We haven't

1228
01:34:42.880 --> 01:34:47.079
heard anything yet, so the silence
can mean nothing, or the silence can

1229
01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:50.680
mean something bad. We don't know, but that is going to be a

1230
01:34:50.680 --> 01:34:55.760
big story to follow, because if
in fact Seth Rollins is injured, how

1231
01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:59.560
badly is he injured. Is it
a minor thing where he has to miss

1232
01:34:59.600 --> 01:35:01.840
the rumb and maybe even the chamber, but he'll be okay for WrestleMania,

1233
01:35:01.960 --> 01:35:06.279
or is it worse? You know, they've been plagued by knee injuries.

1234
01:35:06.319 --> 01:35:11.199
They have been plagued by ACL injuries
lately. Cory Jay just went down to

1235
01:35:11.239 --> 01:35:15.239
an ACL injury. She's going to
be gone for a year. Charlotte Flair

1236
01:35:15.920 --> 01:35:18.720
is already in rehab. She had
a torn ACL. She's gone until at

1237
01:35:18.800 --> 01:35:25.399
least October. It was somebody else, Oh God. In n xteen,

1238
01:35:25.439 --> 01:35:30.520
Naketa Lyons just came back from a
torn ACL. I think soul Ruka is

1239
01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:35.000
still out with a torn ACL.
So you hope it's nothing that serious on

1240
01:35:35.039 --> 01:35:41.439
that level, because that would shake
up the WrestleMania card if Seth Rollins is

1241
01:35:41.760 --> 01:35:45.319
going to be out. So hopefully
that's not the case. Once we know

1242
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:48.600
more, though, we will talk
about it. But I don't know.

1243
01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:53.720
Every day that goes by that we
don't get an update to me, I

1244
01:35:53.760 --> 01:36:02.239
get very worried. Rumpelmane says Bukaki
Wednesdays. That's from the Bukacki Ghost,

1245
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:09.079
which is in the UH super chats
thanks to our friend Abusika. Wherever Abusike

1246
01:36:09.279 --> 01:36:15.439
is shout out to him. Yeah. So Sonya Deville's another one. Yes,

1247
01:36:15.479 --> 01:36:19.319
Sonya Deville. She's been spotted at
the PC rehabbing. She also is

1248
01:36:19.359 --> 01:36:26.560
coming back from a tour in ACL
So unfortunately the knee injuries, they do

1249
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:31.560
not discriminate between men and women.
I just feel like we've been hearing about

1250
01:36:31.560 --> 01:36:39.680
ACLS a lot lately, and I
certainly hope that's not the case. Uh

1251
01:36:39.720 --> 01:36:43.880
Friday Night, come on back because
I'm gonna be live with you after SmackDown.

1252
01:36:43.920 --> 01:36:48.239
We are having a contract signing.
I know Hesa is excited. Roman

1253
01:36:48.319 --> 01:36:51.399
Rains is gonna be back on the
show Friday Night. We're gonna have Roman

1254
01:36:51.760 --> 01:36:59.239
Randy aj Styles La Knight signing.
The did we already have a contract signing

1255
01:36:59.239 --> 01:37:02.199
with Roman Reigns and La Night in
the lead up to Crown Jewel. Right,

1256
01:37:02.239 --> 01:37:05.119
remember when La Knight took the seat
at the head of the table for

1257
01:37:05.159 --> 01:37:11.319
the contract signing. We're getting a
second contract signing between La Night and Roman

1258
01:37:11.359 --> 01:37:16.039
Reigns. And then Episode A forty
four of the podcast on Sunday, and

1259
01:37:16.039 --> 01:37:19.319
then next week I'll keep you guys
posting on what's going on because I'll be

1260
01:37:19.359 --> 01:37:28.119
in Tampa, Tampa Saint Pete.
I will be at the Royal Rumble and

1261
01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:31.079
going live for my review either very
late that night or the next day.

1262
01:37:31.279 --> 01:37:34.520
I don't know which yet, but
it's gonna be a lot going on.

1263
01:37:35.159 --> 01:37:39.119
It's gonna be very busy, very
busy weekend next weekend. All right,
