seven fifteen on Collision Now, Rocky, how you're doing, brother, I'm

was expected to come. And you know that's why we we had this four
man crew with yourself and Maverick and Michael and who whatever combinations available is the
one you're going to get. And as you know, or you know,

if you you know, want to reach out when to have your voice
heard, you can also reach out to me on Twitter at Rockies Clubs.
There's or seven and that's my dedicated social media for all things wrestling. How
are you doing, Maverick? What's going on over there in the UK?
Not too bad works from picking up a little bit lately. But you know
what, that's just how it is over here. But I also wanted to
touch on yeah, we're also still recruiting for somebody to take over this show
completely. I also wanted to give a little bit of insights to the listeners
here. I just started off as a listener myself. I just kind of
wrote into Memphis Mark a little bit when he was starting off of his show
and just giving him some feedback and critique, and he really appreciated it.
We just became friends off of it. So you guys want to be a
part of this, you know, just reach out to any of us.
We're all open to the d ms and everything. I'll hit us broke,
not gonna bite you, man, tell them how to reach you. What's
your hand to again on Twitter? Yeah, my handle on Twitter currently is
maintenance mav. Anybody go ahead hit me up, let me know if I'm
doing anything wrong in the show or if you think you could do better,
come on over take my place. Man. You go there, You go,
all right, guys, Well, we might as well get into the
show. And they start off with it's a reoccurring thing. They start off
with the promos for the matches up coming for that night, so you had,
you know, for the owen Hart Tournament, you had a little bit
of everybody on here and me and MAV have been saying that the past few
weeks a rocky, that we kind of like the kind of old school feel
the way they started off. What do you think about that? You know
what, I'm loving the two Like you said, this Collision show, these
extra two hours slots that they're given us every Saturday is a pathform for these
guys who are not getting the TV time during the week on Rampage or Dynamite
to really showcase their promo skills along with their entering skills. So I really
like the old school field And you know here we do have the full review
for you guys here on the w podcast, and AW is wrapping up the
Canadian tour with the big show from Kygary Stampete saddled domn own Heart's hometown of
Calgary, Alberta. So really loving it. The first choice of the match.
Honestly, you know, for as long as it went. After the
battle that FTR and what the club go to went through, they should have
been on the Battle of the Belts portion of this broadcast, but the desired
to start off with them two or three falls and let's let's dive into MAV.
What's your first thoughts of the first fall anyways? All right, so
honestly, the first fall, everything was very well orchestrated. The whole match
itself. I absolutely loved it just going all the way through. I'm really
just enjoying seeing these two teams go back and forth. The crowd is absolutely
eating it up every single match that these guys have, and I'm really also
enjoying seeing some of these homagists to Bret Hart and No One Heart and just
a Heart family in general. The beginning of this match to start off with
kind of like a swing first square off. Everybody's just in the ring,
getting up face to face. I kind of like that. It's a little
bit of old school something that we don't really see as often today. Usually
it's just somebody comes running at whoever. In the beginning, it's not as
I'm not sure how to put this formal. I guess everybody step up,
and you know, I wanted to do what they need to do. Mark,
what did you think, Well, if you're going to do this eight
freaking minutes of a two hour show. Yeah, Rocky, I kind of
I kind of agree. Maybe they should have just put it on the Battle
of the of the Belts and just had two matches. It's just two matches.
But man, if you're gonna go into to an old school kind of
feel, an old school vibe, I get the crowd involved. I mean,
FDR comes out kind of fast and kind of out of pace for them,
and then you've got um, you know, Juice and and sling Blade
kind of hanging back. I think, you know, it's just I kind
of like it. I kind of like it. And I was fans before
these last two weeks, but after these last two weeks, I am.
I'm a follower and a fan. You know. That's the you know,
Rocky, I don't, I don't know another way to put it. I
mean, you know, uh, the match, I can we can boast
of it here and probably go through each round, each thing and everything that
we saw. I mean, it was, it was freaking fantastic. And
yeah, and you know what with the full aw clus you showed, that's
that's pretty much what we're gonna do. So with that being said, I
did hear this stat Uh, the stat tells us that FTR is six and
two and two one the three falls matches. I don't know that's completely accurate,
but that's what that's what I heard, I think from the announced team.
But you know, there's this first fall, a lot of hard chops
to decks. Juice was selling those chops like he killed a man like I
mean, he was selling he was working incredible stuff. A lot happened before
the first fall, fast paced action. There was brawling, technical mastery um
J White aiding guid in on the on the going on, the chop action
going just going ham on decks, and I could see Decks clearly getting an
upset as at some point he stopped selling the chops and started to get something.
He started to get some of his own. Uh you know, back
to White, there was multiple near falls, but sneak tag comes from Cash
with the attempts of the Shadow Machine, but no Dice. J. White
counters Blade Runner one two three. So, like you said, just good
a way to start it. Absolutely, absolutely yeah, Maverick, what did
you say, uh, you know on the something one woman before mat before
you do say something, what did you think about the freaking cowboy had everyone
book is a person that wears a cowboy hat occasionally. I was kind of
offended that was announcer having the cowboy hat. I'm sorry, I just had
to sign that please go away. So seeing the announcer wearing it, at
first, I thought this guy trying to be the new Jr. Or something.
Is he trying to imitate him a little bit? And then I realized
it's Stampede. They've got the rodeo going on everything. I'm like, okay,
everybody's going with the theme and all that. But I don't know,
I guess there is you know, country and rural areas out in Canada.
I never really thought about it that they, you know, would have farm
land and everything as well. It's just not something that ever crossed my mind.
But yeah, it's not something I really expected about, you know,
to see at a wrestling shows everybody s wearing a cowboy hat up in Canada.
I don't know, I just never would have clicked in my head before
this, but uh yeah, So this match, there's one point that Cash
had a hurricane rana and then shortly after Dacks has a springboard crossbody. This
kind made me question, is this a possible slight tribute to Owen Hart because
I know he was considered more to be a high flyer during his era.
And they also gave a quick tribute to the Briscos hitting I believe it was
their tag team finisher as well. And I just really loved this match through
and through. It felt well orchestrated, well timed. Like you guys were
saying about, this match could have been on Battle of the Belts. I
think the Battle of the Belts only went for an hour, so that would
have it would have just took up the whole thing, would have been the
Battle for the Tag Team Belts at that point, Man exactly absolutely, go
ahead, go ahead, Rocky. Uh No, I was just agreeing with
Maverick. But now where they were into the second fall, um, you
know you had some some oftense films mess here. But then you know,
Golden Clubs they took control again. It spent quite a bit of time working
over a wheeler sitting since on sleepers, big boots, DDTS side on the
floor. It was kind of interesting that Juice tried to get a count out
victory, and I heard the commentary routine talking about it, and do you
guys think that what that count as a victory. I mean, and the
two out three fall match, because no one said, I've never uh seen
anybody do that concept before, like actually trying to actively get a count out
during that two out of three falls match. So, um, that's something
that I would like to read the contract on if that's even possible. I
have seen that before, though, you have, yes, the funks versus
I believe it was Jackie Fargo and I can't think, but anyway, it
was a two out of three um, and uh, I guess they wanted
to cut some things short eventually, but they just the guy won two falls
and the second follows by count out. Yeah, well you know that that's
that. That's cool that I would have never known, but you know,
to your knowledge now I do. But tax finally gets a hot tag,
runs the wild for a bit, you know, hits some big moves,
we get the this is awesome chance going on. I believe at this point
we're about thirty five forty minutes into the match, and I'm trying to think
that fall three is going to be pretty quick because we have seen some twenty
three fall matches where the second fall happens and then within a few minutes,
the third fall is done, you know, because the guys are just gas
or for whatever reason. And then the FTR a tribute to Jay Briscoe with
the red name Boogie. They only got the two count and then you know,
got a couple of jokes and jabs and then Shadow Machine they finally get
it on juice and one two three. Matt, what did you see there
in the second fall? Well, in the second fall the match, So
watching over it all, I was just enthralled with how well that it was
going. Everybody was flowing very well. I kind of saw that at these
tag teams, they have learned each other at this point and they're kind of
giving that sort of ring psychology field that is going on, Like Okay,
I know that they're going to set up for this and then somebody's going to
duck out of it real quick because they've gone at each other so many times
now and they already know each other's movesets, they know how you know,
let's say Dax wants to set up a hot tag or something. You can
kind of tell they're setting each other up. But then you know, say
j White and the other corner, he would know how to counteract it.
At this point I saw it was starting to happen more. After the first
fall, it happens, Mark, what were you noticing? Man? The
second fall was just it was as good as a first. But I will
say, different strategy and and I don't know, guys, it's almost like
they sit down before this match and went, you know, because now that
you can bet on these outcomes and stuff, everybody's doing this betting, and
it's almost like they sit down and went, all right, everybody's going to
expect this, this and this, so we'll give them this and we'll kick
out of you know what I mean. It's kind of like the chess pieces
that we've been playing with for years, just in this match, and they
changed the board, not today, you know what I mean. And we
were used to it this way and they did it this way. So which
makes some you know, like some old timers like us, it's been watching
a while, you keep expecting here it comes. It's right, okay,
well wow, okay, so they did so it's gonna end right, you
know what I mean. And that's that's what I think they were supposed to
do. Rocky, Well, I mean that's what you know, how about
you? Yeah, nor Tony agree with you there. And as for flowing
into the third fall um out of outside ring books, I noticed that these
guys and you know, and like I said, we're passing fort if I've
minute mark here, and I'm just I'm just kind of in all of these
guys. I always knew FTR was a good tech team. I liked him
back when they were a w W um. The moment that I saw the
first time I saw j White, I heard the name and then I saw
him debut and just off the look at him, I knew he was gonna
be good Jews. I was interested because he has he's a unique look.
And then I started to see his you know, week by a week,
I'm like, okay, okay, like I thought, honestly, it looks
like a like a tough jobber. But now that I've seen his work,
you know, like I'm starting to to get behind this guy, like I
believe him. Um so all the bums outside and then the cool moment with
the standoff in the middle of the ring, you got the audience clap in
sean respect to these to these four competitors, and again with j White,
just the way he trash chalks when he when he locked in the sharp shooter
and was posing, flexing, and the way the Carl reacted like he just
he's a natural or hell, I don't I don't know if he's ever been
a face before in Japan. I don't know if I can ever see see
him as a face. But honestly, I wouldn't like to see him.
But if this is what it takes for him to come to a w and
then to jump ship, you know, for they can believe that he's a
top guy, then I guess that's we're gonna have to take. Um.
He reminds me a lot of Adam Cole from the first time I saw Adam
Cole and NXT. I'd never heard the name before. I never she never
worked before. He daves be was undisputed, and immediately I knew that this
guy's got it. He's got something. Um. So you know this hour
plus match, you know, of course the FDRs takes it, but just
the time that these guys got If you didn't know the name j Y Juice
Robinson before, you do now like you really do, especially after the showing.
What about his voice, guys, what do you what Juice's voice?
Is it? Not a distinct. It is almost anybody when you you when
you hear him in the ring, you know who that is. Yeah,
it's true. It's kind of like Damian Priest's voice. You just you know,
ah very good. Yeah, yeah, I like that. Uh well,
I mean we well we look we got the end of the third h
third round. Man. Uh I mean it is a no disappoint match.
I mean, I don't know what to We can sit here and and and
blow smoke up there all we want, but man, it was just good
uh and and rock. Like you said, Man, it's getting these guys
time that aren't getting that. You know, you got a diamond uh and
and you can't even show it off, you know what I mean. So
I'm kind of agreeing with the whole Collision deal because it is getting a chance
to showcase. I mean, you know, I mean, at least on
my end, at least on money and work quick. How often do they
do battle the belts? Do you either want to you know, you know,
yeah, I'm not sure that actually you have that answer. Maybe I
do not, But I mean how long has the company been around? And
there areby up to seven so it's got to be a couple of times a
year at this point. So well, what I'm getting at is that let's
just first say they get this once a month. Then once a month we
have a three hour AW Saturday night, I said, of a two hour
show, so that you know, so that gives that that's basically a pay
per view. Yeah, and there free exactly. Oh yeah, that's a
that's a man we're at and there are and there are basically championship matches,
especially a collision, you know, but and then of course on Battle of
the Belts. But yeah, for free championship matches. Like I said,
I have to look into the sea how often they do it, because you're
right, they're up to seven now, and that was a good number on
that one, good one and good one. Right. I do have a
couple of things real quick, just to mention that, Yeah, I do
believe that Jay White in Japan the first time that I saw him was a
wrestle Kingdom. Can't remember which number, I can't remember who he was facing,
but I remember I was sitting with the gardener, Michael Gross, you
know, we were chilling out watching it, and I remember as Jay White
came out, I remember thinking, this guy looks like he could be something,
and then he had a couple of good moves. I was thinking,
Okay, he's being kind of impressive, and then the match really just dolled
out, and I remember I made the joke he seems kind of like when
you picked up a video game for wrestling and you do a creative character,
but you didn't look at the move set and that It's like, he's got
a couple of cool things about him, but he's kind of playing right now.
He's really evolved, and i'd really come to enjoy him. I believe
at the time he was even clean shaven, and yeah, he didn't seem
like he was a heel at all. And then I believe after Wrestle Kingdom
he went on and face Kenny Omega, which is interesting as ever. But
yeah, so in the match itself, did you guys see about aw's rule
changes that it just came up about like chair shots and everything. I did
not, Oh so yeah, yeah, so AW just implemented a lot of
I believe it's more health and safety at this point because they don't want any
unprotected chair shots. No. Uh, I think it's a no pile drivers
of any sort that go straight to the head type of thing. Um was
it no hitting down on the floor without any sort of patting type of stuff?
And uh yeah, seeing those rule changes as I was watching this match,
I noticed, I feel like they're kind of breaking some of these new
rules that just got put in place. Did they make these rules happen?
Did they like write out in the script just for this to happen? Wait?
Was the the no hand drops only on chairs or or all things patting?
I think it's uh, just pile drivers in general at this point,
because there's some you know, like a tombstone style pile driver. I believe
it's what they're trying to go against you right now. I can show you
the screenshot later of all the rules they put in and A W does a
lot of point in runos they're gonna yeah, yeah, I know. And
one of them was the h I've noticed they've spent on each other a few
the past few months here, and on one of his the rule changes was
no salaba uh so, uh yeah, none of that and went at the
end of it. Uh, when Juice and they were walking out, they
spit on the ring instead of and I'm wondering how that might have changed.
If those rules hadn't been you know, hadn't come out this past week because
they've been getting real brazen on how they do something, so uh, that
would have been interesting to see, Rocky, you got anything else? No,
let's wrap it up and move on, all right. Uh man,
they're doing a little promo on the blood and guts. Uh, you know
up next with the Elite and the BCC. UM. That looks like that
might be pretty good. That looks like Uh, I haven't seen one.
I've seen a couple of the need of y'all either one of y'all have Have
y'all seen any of these matches. I've been watching the I've been watching the
US two clips of this over the last few weeks. A bit of the
storyline developing. Um just feels like all the other ones. Basically, you've
got too good. Um. We know it's gonna be hard hitting. You
know, there's gonna be blood. There's gonna be a lot of people really
getting messed up. Um. You know, to quote Mark Henry's theme song,
somebody's gonna get there kicked. So UM, it's gonna be good.
I love all these guys. I do. UM my respect for all these
guys on both sides. Um. You know, the Japanese wrestlers on the
BBC side I've been learning about because of AW. And you know, that's
that's one thing I always really really hated about WW that I always really really
liked about WCW or TEENA and how AW is that they have the the open
door policy to work with Japan and bring in these wrestlers that I would never
have seen before or known of. It's very hard to find any full linked
matches of things from Wrestle Kingdom work and anything anything overseas um, so at
least for me, or maybe I haven't tried hard enough, but you know,
again, these guys are gonna just tear the house down. Or I
really like the idea of the two rings in the cage, but it rids
me of war games, so you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
man, what you got on it? So yeah, it is kind of
just war games in a way. But I mean, I believe WCW did
the same thing years and years ago in WA. I believe even had it
at some point have a war game style match, So it doesn't really bother
me to see it used elsewhere because I mean, it's not like you're the
first ones to do ladder matches or cage matches either. You know, it's
it's common practice at this point, You're gonna do these kind of matches because
crowd wants to see. It's become popular. But yeah, just seeing the
build up, I'm excited to see this. Uh, Kota Abushi, I'm
glad to be seeing working with a w because I know that it is a
dream match between him and seem Punk. They want to go at each other
because I believe they both use the same finisher. They go to sleep,
but they both claim that they invented it, which is kind of funny.
I want to see them in the future, maybe at Forbidden Door or something
in a couple of years, finally be able to have that match. It's
a dream match to an extent. You know. Oh good, I like
that. Plam a good little promo teasinges with that. But they go into
Ruby and Miss Night good Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll take
this one. First. We got the finals the own Hard Tournament the Woodman
side. Anyways, Ruby so found her way back into this one. The
white difference really showed in the beginning of the match. Will be started.
Uh, just having trouble doing basic stuff like arm drags and you know,
bast basic maneuvers. She does hard coup my back though brawling. Um,
but for me, this match felt really short. For a final of a
one hard tournament or any tournament, or any final or anything like that.
This match just felt short or just felt too short for me. The way
the finish of the match, it was disappointed to me. The distraction with
the spray paint could have been so much better. Um, I don't know,
Ruby hits her finish and then the widow doesn't sell it and then we
had a false finished kickout. It was very weak the kickout, And yeah,
I just dis match left the very soidur taste in my mouth. What
about you, Martin? Well, that kickout you you mentioned it, and
I wanted to make sure that I wasn't the only one that noticed that.
Oh Selle and the kickout, I mean that pretty much. Yeah describes it.
Yeah, bad taste, I would say, well, you know,
And then again though, and I'm I don't want to be too judgmental,
because we just saw a fifty eight minute stunner of a match and uh,
and then we we kind of we kind of get this so I'm not gonna
trash on him. I'm not gonna trash I did like the fact that when
Soho was trying to do those arm drags, like you spoke, I spoke
of that that worked. It just worked because you knew that she shouldn't be
able to do that, and yeah, yeah, yeah, so I like
the realism of that. But it just wasn't enough drama in the match,
Like, yeah, it's a final, and you're like, you're in the
country that that this tournament of you know, for all heart, this is
his country, his hometown. Like, I just I expected more from that
match, that's all. What about your match? Yeah, So watching the
match, the one thing that I really loved was just the little bit of
lie cheat and steel Eddie Guerrero sort of thing that went on with the spray
paint. How a Ruby third into Willow's hand and the ref turns around at
that second to see it. God, I love seeing that anytime that it
happens. I like the idea of it, but just I don't know,
something wasn't executed enough. I don't know if it was Widow's expression, or
the referee's expression, or even Ruby's reaction to it. Just didn't work for
me. Did it really work for you? Like, I know the concept
of it being Eddie Guerrell's you know, fingertips on it, but did you
really like how it was executed? I Am not sure what it was,
but it didn't feel right and it almost felt like Ruby was laughing as and
as the rep turned around, and that just made it feel like it wasn't
real at that moment. I think maybe if Ruby would have actually sprayed herself
to like show that there was something that, maybe that would have worked.
But no, I don't know. Was it enough for me? Oh?
Yeah, the yeah, as I said, behind that big stellar match and
to get that. But we did get to see Tony Kahn n a cowboy
hat and his best Howdy imitation. When when I saw that, all I
could think was that this guy's image smiling the way it was somebody in all
cheesy. What the cowboy hat is gonna be on the internet forever. It's
gonna be viral, Like, oh my god, just oh can't you see
some of the memes and some of the stuff that's probably already been done.
Oh we got jbl from wish at home. Oh man, Okay, I
had to bring up that. I'm sorry. We go into QUO. Okay,
here we go. We go into QT and Hobbs into their little uh
as the world turns and they're trying to get everything on the same page,
and they're setting up an angle. They're setting up an angle. Maverick,
what did you say in that one? Buddy? So, before this whole
thing with Hobbes, I was not a fan of Q team Marshall. I
didn't think really anything of them, But you know what, as a manager,
he's doing pretty well. I think. You know, this is actually
working well with Hobbes and Hobbs doing his heel thing with his size and just
being able to be a natural bully the way that he should be playing his
character. This is going to go well. And I liked seeing Hobbes walk
out the last second just say like a keeper promise type of thing. I
can't remember the exact wording, but it was like, yeah, we'll see
keeper promise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've really enjoyed it. We'll
just have to see what happens next week. I'm not sure what exactly the
angle is it's getting set up. Maybe Mark, you've got some insight here,
after all your experience. But uh, I just have to see you
next week. What do you think, Rock? I couldn't agree more.
I had QT March. It does nothing for me. In the ring.
On the mic, he's good, and now the manager role, he's feeling
it pretty well. I'm liking everything they're doing with Hobbes right now. I
think they're giving us a slow burn because I think when we first to the
first collection show we had, I think we were almost all the unison that
at least agreeing that Hobbs was We wanted Hops to win the Own Heart Tournament
and that'd be the perfect platform for him. Um. But I think what
starts being, you know, them being former partners and starts being a little
bit more better on the mic, better on the ring. Us now it's
his time and Hobbes getting the slow burned. I'm okay with um. As
long as they don't delegated him to a bunch of squash matches and they give
him some some some, a good rival, a good storyline, then you
know, I'm okay with the sole bread for him. Yeah, don't bury
him, don't bury him. Yeah, kid, keep that light going.
Guys. We have we have the House of Black, which I love,
but uh, your brownies from Parts unknown going? So it is your relative
squash match, so Rocky you go? Please? Um I love the House
of Black two. Another entrance, another look, Um, let the gimmick?
Why are the why are these guys getting squash matches? Did? Are
they just trying to put somebody? Like? I know they're paying these guys,
so let's get them on the show under paycheck this week. But everybody
else is wrapped up in storyline, So let's just let's hire somebody from from
here, from Canada who's in training and put them out there filler time,
build up a little anticipation for the main event, I think. But I
mean, other than that, it's just honestly, yeah it was. It
wasn't nothing. This was actually my lunchable break, my bathroom break. So
yeah, I heard it in the background. So like I've watched someone's wrestling
now and my girlfriend trips out on this the fact, because like I'll be
in there, for example, I'll be in the kitchen cooking and where whatever
rawsh my guns on and she's like, you're missing it, You're missing it.
I'm like, no, baby, I don't have to see it to
know what's going on. I can infer from the commentary what's going on in
the ring, like I like, I could picture it in my head.
So as this matches going on, that's what I was doing. And but
you know what's gonna happen when squash match two or three minutes, four minutes
stops and these guys are over, that's it. Yeah, yeah, I
hear you. Man. So I don't know what it is with collision squash
matches. I feel like we've had one every single color An episode so far.
And I don't hate to squash occasionally, but man, this is just
it's becoming a running theme here. And I don't know if it's specifically to
do with House in Black or what, but it just feels too common now.
During the match, I saw some awkward selling from whoever that dude was
with the blue hair. Blue hair j're brownie, I guess we can call
them. But the one good thing that happened throughout it was Andrea's Andrade's entrance
coming down the ramp wanting to get his match a mask back. I was
very happy to see that it's not really heel move or anything. He's just
wanting to get what's his and I like that this feud is, you know,
going to go a little further. But yeah, once again, I'm
not really sure why they're having this tag match in the first place. Who
are these two random guys just pulled out of Calgary and just hey, you
want to make a few quick bucks? Yeah yeah, you brownie one brownie
too. But and Rocky, you kind of described something that I wanted to
it on. And I'm trying to explain this to younger crowd other you know,
my kids crowd or something like this, and you kind of explained it
a little different. When I grew up, I could listen to a baseball
game on eight radio and I knew by the announcer what was going on.
I could visualize it in my head. And like you just said, you
can hear the announcers, you know what's happening. You know, it's about
what's it and it's it's practically the same thing. It's just you explained it
a little bit better than than I've been able to do. So, uh,
you know, when you understand what I'm saying, they're running absolutely and
that's why and that's how it comes across, you know, my mind.
It's like we as wrestling fans, as being passionate about wrestling and doing the
podcast and everything that we do. Love were for wrestling. It's a vicious
circle. It's wrestling every week, the storylines every week, it's you know,
guys chasing titles, guys cheating to keep their title. It's it's the
same movie but with different characters there. You know, every week from month
to month, from year to year. Um, we watch wrestling, we
dissect the wrestling, then we talk about it. Then the new week start
extent, we do it again. You know. So that's that's just our
lives and and and that's okay because somebody has to educate the younger generations.
Mathew, I mean for your age, you have so many concepts in your
head, Like I don't know anybody your age that understands wrestling the way I
do. And from a few times a week talked, I know you get
it. From the long list of all the topics that you sent Michael after
the first wrestl Magic show, I know you get it. That's what makes
digital combo that we do here easy. That's why the first collation show that
we did went so smooth. It's just it's because you get it, and
said, I don't have many people that that get it. I got a
few buddies from high school that I still keep in contact with on social media.
They get it. Um, you guys get it. And like I
said, when I don't, I don't have to hear it. I don't
have to see it, you know, to visualize it. So I sort
of understand what you're saying. Mark, Yeah, absolutely absolutely, So it's
a it's a lost start. So anyway, guys, uh, you know,
turn tune in next week and we'll give old guys lessons on wrestling.
But we'll go straight into the surprise match for me for the night. All
right. I admit I was surprised in this one, so I'm not gonna
give anything away. We got Ricky Starks and mister see Them Punk going for
the Owen Heart Tournament championship, and uh, look, we'll started off with
Maverick this time. Maverick, how did that look across the pond? My
friend? So the match itself was pretty enjoyable. I you know, likes
Dampunk. He's still doing pretty well in the ring. Starks he came out
and he performed pretty well. It felt like there was some good exchanges in
the beginning, with a striking and just a minor grappling that was going on.
You see them both just going back and forth and showing that it's somewhat
of an even match at the time. Throughout the whole match, I kept
hearing the crowd was booing Punk. That kind of surprised me. I haven't
expected that, really. I didn't think he came out and said anything about
Canada or whatever. And then yeah, it just kind of confused me with
certain things like that. And then afterwards it kind of seemed like starks.
I don't know if that was sort of like heel turn kind of moment or
what. But after the match is over, he goes over to Juician thunder
Lyger, who is a wrestling legend, especially in Japan. He's highly respected,
and just takes the cup and runs and Lager looks confused, just,
hey, what the heck? Man? Yeah? What did you think?
Uh? Yeah, that was a weird moment. Had to end for me
too. I didn't I didn't think it'd be a hill turn. I just
I didn't know what to think of it. But for what it's worth,
Punk does mentioned that tonight we're gonna find out if Starks is gonna sink or
swim. And I think that's for something very similar to something that Edge actually
said about Grayshan Waller in one of the past few promos. But on the
first episode we did, we were talking about again our collision was going to
be a showcase extra time for guys who weren't getting the time to showcase.
This felt like a final to me of a tournament. But the other guys
enough time, There was enough back and forth. Both guys look creditable.
When he starts, is gonna benefit from this cup win and benefit from the
time you know that he had in this match. There was a pretty big
response for Punk in Calgary as they were chanting his name pretty loud after his
music cut off. But like you said, maybe you could hear those blues
in there. Um And I don't know if that's the older crowd who you
know, who's followed him and it's haird of him, or if that's a
younger crowd that's just behind starks. Um. I don't I don't want to
say he's he's nowhere near the level of has these or half the crowd hayes
him and half the crowd loves him as to the point where John Cena got
but he might be getting there pretty soon because I know he's stepping on toes
and pushing a lot of buttons backstage. Um. But there was a sign
that I caught in the in the crowd. It said, um, crying
man child feel. I don't know if any either want of you two solids?
He saw that, okay? Um? Yeah, So, like I
said, solid match, great showing for Starks. The roll up that kind
of confused me, um, because it's it's the face first face in his
match. The referee did look made it look like he saw it, but
then he just went along with it, So that was kind of strange to
me as well. And then they run up to the ramp and then grabbing,
grabbing, grabbing, you know, grabbing it and going, uh.
I guess we'll have to see how this unfolds, if there's even if they're
gonna acknowledge. I'm sure Punk is gonna acknowledge the rope grab but I really
interested to see what you start response to it. So once we get that,
then I think at that time I'll have a full understanding of what they
did. What they did, and like right now, my feelings are indifferent
about about the finish mark. How'd you feel? All? Right? Oh
horror, right, I've been chumping. I've been chumping at the bit.
First of all, uh, did we not see the crowd kind of also
do the same thing during the FTR match, where you know, usually the
crowds firmly behind the FTR and they they kind of, uh, you know,
they kind of turned a little bit on them a little bit in the
match. And if you were waiting, and sometimes you always hear about some
of these older writers and promoters. I always say, you have to listen
to the crowd. Fill the crowd, and if they were ever waiting on
a chance to have a heel turn, for see him punk is this not
the heel turn? He comes out next week? He's mad about the hand,
he's complaining, he jumps, starts, all kinds of things they could
do. I don't know. I'm just saying, if they were going to
do it, this would be the time to do it. And as far
as the match, the match was good. Always you're going to get a
good match out of this, and we'll sew us stat out that. I
actually Alred DAAs said something about the Starts and beating five world champs, so
this would make it six. So that's a building point. So they're giving
Starts the push and I think he can hale it. I think he can
hal it. But the crowd, the crowd, I'm just wondering, because
I've seen these guys go, look, we've been waiting for this, we
were going to do it in two weeks. But listen to this crowd,
and you know, and it could set something up, just my opinion.
I mean, what do you think of guys, what do you think would
would that be to him? I mean and perfect time, honestly, I
mean, now you can set up pretty much anything you want, tournaments over
eck. Why not and Starks? I mean, he's still young in his
career. It makes sense for him to have got this win for punk kids
a little bit too late. It doesn't really need it. He's got the
name for himself, he's got all those world championships under his sult He's still
got that championship in that red bag that I'm sure he might tow it around
soon, especially if he goes on a heel turn. He just carries it
around and says, oh, I never lost this and whatever else. So
I think it is perfect time, Rocky, what do you think? I
have a question. What does the winner of this tournament actually get it?
Is it just the pride? Is there a title shot coming? Or what?
The belt in the cup? And Miss Martha White came out and said
that you did good? So he doesn't get like an actual future time shot.
He gets to take that pink belt and go hang it up in a
truby case at home. Bill, It's not pink now wait, I don't
think his belt was, was it? Okay? It's similar to a King
of the Ring style tournament in my opinion, it's like, hey, congratulations,
you did great, but yeah, here's your crown. Go have fun,
kid, but you don't have to do the British accent. I hope
the number Booker t after King Oh you had to do the British accent for
a while, So hopefully they don't do that. I love King Booker.
I have an autograph picture eight by ten of King Booker Game Booker. Yeah,
Booker t signed it for me back in two thousand and six, so
he has reality of resting here in Houston. That's his little independent here back
in two thousand and six. It was called p WA, which is Pro
Wresting Alliance, and it was here and so the southeast side of the Sound,
where I'm at and where I was working at. One of my managers
was dating his promoter, so I got to pass out the flyers for him
and they would give me tickets and then when they would have stars come in.
Because this was at the time that he was with TENA, he was
bringing over guys like Abyss RVD, Bobby Rude for little house shows and I
will get access stage at least to skip the lines to get to autographs.
And Booker t gave me that eight by ten King Booker autograph picture. There
your insight, you cannot get anyway out. Yeah, I love King Booker.
He even carried the accent over into TNA with mainly bet Mafia for a
bit. If you guys remember that well man he got Normally, this would
be when we're all getting ready to get off, fuzzy and nice at all.
You know, we're about done. But wait a minute, I got
to flip the book because we got another page. Got another page, guys,
you know, with the stampede rodeo there and everything going on in the
bad weather, I can see how convenient these wrestling shows would have been because
they can't be outside spending their money, so why not send them into their
sponsored event where they're getting money because they got a percentage off of that the
Stampede shirts, and then of course the One Heart Foundation got third percentage off
their shirts, so kind of a win win. But guys, we got
the Battle of the Belts. So I mean, I mean as far as
starting us out something maybe once a month or however they're going to do it,
well, I mean I kind of like it. What do you think?
What do you think we'll we'll go to We'll start off across the pond
again there? What did you think, Matt? So I enjoyed throwing in
this extra hour. I think it's going to be beneficial if they were to
do it like once a month or so, just to keep it in mind
and everything. I don't know how well it would work with you know,
fighting for that TV time, but I would personally enjoy it because you know,
I just used Fight TV, so I can see it whenever I'm not
really seeing any other channels or any other lineup, so this works fine for
me. But something I did notice at the very beginning of all the belts,
as soon as it started and when I had to switch over, so
seam Punk walks over to somebody in the crowd kind of taps him on the
shoulder and he like starts asking him, like, hey, you saw the
rope grabbing everything too? Right? I saw something online, I think it
was this Morning about it as well, and it had said that person who
was talking to is actually a living relative of the late Chris ben Wah that
really sure how true it is, but that would be very interesting if it
was. I think it said it was his living son of some sort.
I'm not sure done is a wrestler. His son is a wrestler. David
right, right, yep, Okay that I did not see that. Did
you see that? Rout? I saw the article a little while ago.
Yeah, he was hugging David Benawall and then the fan next to him was
given Punks the double bird. I'll have to look this up then, oh
man, Well, thank you, Mamick. I'm glad you did bring it
back up. And and that's the whole thing about doing these shows the way
we do it. Uh. Well, there's a few of us a little
older and maybe forgetful and all of a sudden something will come to us.
And there's no scripts on the shows. So we just talked and actually I
have an answer here for the Battle of the Belts. It's done quarterly,
so we get we get four times a year, so we'll have one more
in the last quarter of the year, which will make a Battle of the
ba Battle of the Belt eight um, so four times a year. We're
gonna have a three hour aw Saturday night. Okay, all right, facts
coming in, Facts coming in, guys. The first match, okay,
this all right, I'm just gonna say it's Orange Cassidy against lanch Archer with
Jake the Snake. Uh, we're looking as dapper as he could. Oh,
Rock, I think I think you mean pockets versus braids. Um I
do, guys. I have nothing for this is all the Atlantic title now
named the International title. All I can think about is the Intercontinental title.
I can't I can't feel nothing more than this is just a rip off of
the Icy title. For the W they have the TAMT title that's based on
the show being called Dynamite Great not because they're on the on the network.
T and T is what. Okay, So the creation of this title,
I guess because now they have they do have enough of ross, enough talent
to battle over it. They do have a collision now two hours more too
to build up robberies. But I just I got nothing for this title.
Um just, I have no connection to it. I have no emotion for
it. Archer, that dudes athletic. I respect I've seen. I've seen
a lot of his work, especially during the pandemic era. That's one I
you know, started to see him a lot. Uh Orange Cassidy disguise gimmick
should not still be over for what he does. I get it. It's
fun, it's cool, um, It's it's laid back for you know.
It's just it's somewhat entertaining, you know, with the pockets and the you
know, the little kicks and stuff. I've seen you to too much.
There's not enough VARIATIONE. But that guy's talented as well. Respect for both
the guys is the only thing I happened this match is the the DDT that
was not sold on the outside of Archer with the DQ finished yet Just I
don't know. I don't have much of his match, would it? But
you guys, so this match one thing that I noted in the beginning was
freshly squeezed running in well sauntering and really slowly with the belt in his backpack,
just kind of taking it out. Looking at that, I was thinking,
is he kind of making fun of see him hunk here with the whole
belt in the bag thing. I don't know. Just seeing it, I
wasn't huge on really the whole match. Archer does a great tank. He
is brutal in the ring, and I love it. I also kind of
enjoyed seeing Orange Cassidy just picking up these security guards, stacking them on top
of Archer and then walking away from him for a little bit, trying to
get a breather. I just enjoyed just the goofiness of it, really.
But I don't know the belt itself, I feel no attachment with. I
don't really see it as a respected title. It's just kind of there.
I'll give Orange Cassidy this. He does defend it a lot. You know,
he's a little bit more active than some of the ww gut Roman rings.
But you know, also seeing Jake the Snake's involvement a little bit like
he set up Orange Chassis like he was going to give him with the DDT
and the crowd started loving it. Ason as I saw him, and you
know, this is one of the only count out finishes I've ever kind of
approved of, just because the way that it land is. At the end
of it, they're both fighting on the apron and then Orange Chassisy it throws
him off and then he gets to jump back in the ring real quick.
It's not a great finish, but it was just sleazy enough that it kind
of works for the character, and it kind of does benefit both sides because
you're not seeing Archer, who's twice Orange Chassisy's sides, getting pinned in the
ring, and you're seeing Orange Chastisy just finding a quick way out and being
able to return his belt. So it works. But it's just not the
greatest thing ever, Mark, what did you think? Real quick? So
you're right, it was a count out, so Cassidy squeezed his way out
of that. It's victory. Absolutely. Oh that's terrible, that's terrie.
Yeah, I know, okay, okay, guys, this could have been
so much more. I did like the fact that Orange come out with aggression.
He didn't come out with that little stuff at the first He come out
firing and he took the lead that he should have done. Smaller guy,
bigger guy tried to sleeper on him everything he could. So this match did
everything right. They're just I don't think that they're using lance. Archer could
be a beast. They could use him in a bruiser Brody type role.
He could he could run rough shot a little bit. Some of the bigger
guys could have some good fights with him. And then when the younger or
the smaller guy, the underdog gets him and beats him. Uh, it
makes a bigger story. But we'll never get that. We'll never get Well,
well, we know the guy can work because he was the uh new
japan Us jam so he's done work over there. So we like I said,
the sky's very athletic for his size. Uh. You know Old's best
Friends, uh back on a lot of those things. He's on a lot
of the old shows with Stone so uh with Steve so uh he's you know,
it just so much better. Uh if they did that. But now
I got to go into one of the when when I was growing up,
one of the most live when you went to see somebody live, to see
Jake the Snake back in his day. He could work in the ring,
he could use the mic, he had the snake he never knew, and
in the smaller territories, man, he was just freaking great. But to
see the poor shell of that gentleman out there, and I know what,
I'm glad to see that he's doing better. Apparently they said his lifestyle is
a lot better. You know, I just went and got a physical,
and I ain't gonna say nobody, nobody, but anyway, but I mean,
just to see the shell of what that was, I did not kind
of like that. You know why he looks up like a show of himself.
Dude needs to comb his hair, and he needs to dress better.
He dresses like like he doesn't have you know, he doesn't have money or
the access to a suit. Like if he dressed better, if he dressed
apart, he wouldn't look he wouldn't look like that shell. Yeah, like
he's walking around the mall in the afternoon. I mean, that's what he
reminds me of right now. And man, yeah, just yeah, just
a wardrobe change. He can still taught someone on the mic. You don't
have to give them the big things, just you know, let him come
up with something in his style and let him say it in that way,
and a good announcer can There's just I don't know. I don't know.
I could sit here and go on and on about that. In the count
out. I guess you gotta do it some kind of way, because you
know, to make it to look good, you know. So okay,
all right, So I just hate seeing something. It's kind of like going
by when I drive down the road and I see a beautiful classic car in
a field that's rusting out. I just hate to see it, but it
is what it is. So we go into the Acclaim, and do you
think they're sucking up to Canada? Please? I missed this one, so
mav take it all the way, all right. So something I noticed as
soon as the Acclaim we're coming into the ring once again, they're doing the
rapping thing. I do kind of enjoy it at times when they make jokes
about whoever they're up against, like I believe they made some sort of joke
against Karen Jarrett in that whole situation at one point, which I absolutely just
died laughing at. But this time around I heard one of the commentary guys
saying, last time my Scissor gone air. I told my wife happy anniversary.
I don't know that just was a little bit on the line there of
like, all right, you guys are pushing whatever limit you guys have for
a TV at the moment. And then Billy Gunn coming out and just saying,
yeah, I'm a scissor all of you in the crowd tonight or whatever.
It was just it's so goofy, man, I mean, it's a
good promo. It's so goofy that it's great. You know, it's fun
enough for the crowd to get into it, but to take it seriously,
man, I did enjoy that. They actually did have a serious challenge near
the end of it. But they do know how to entertain the crowd just
enough, Rocky, would you think But like I said, I missed it.
But based off what you just said, I I can picture the guy's
demeanor. I can picture the facials. I can picture you know, mister
as Billy Gunn. Just I can picture off of it. So based on
what you just told me, I felt like I just I just seen it
in my head. So um, these guys are always good. We had
a slip up in there, two rock We had well not a slip up.
Billy Gunn mentions that he loves him some cowgirls, and he starts into
it and then he goes, I used to like go while. Yeah,
they're definitely they're definitely pushing the limits there. Oh yeah. Yeah. And
and and look the uh is Max Castor which that has the big necklace on.
He did give the necklace to some kid there. I'm sure it's something
to do with the hard foundation. And he had it signed on the back
and dated. So that was kind of a nice little a little thing there,
you know, but little salutes of bread with the glasses. And now
maybe that's something they should do more often. I always liked it when and
yeah, when I loved it when Brent did, of course I was I
was a kid then. Um, you know Johnsena would do it with this
tower or the hat or something, and that these guys they should do it
all the time. With the chain. They should have one to give it
out. Um, that's that's that's perfect. That's exactly what that was.
Rock, I believe that's actually what that was. The glasses. Yeah,
uh okay went anyway, Oh yeah, and they're gonna they're gonna go for
the Trio's title, so that next week they're going for the trio's title,
so we get more of mister ass can't wait. Uh, We've got a
lady's title match with uh Tony Storm uh and the Valkia and uh of course
val Caro's gonna She's in Canada, so she's got to wear a cowboy that
uh uh so uh and Andre the Lady remind you of a very nice,
cleaned up a little bit more elegant odd. Oh my god, I was
literally just thinking that when you said that. Yeah. Absolutely, Oh,
but yeah I cleaned that version. You know this, Morrison, I did
not mean to I'm not saying anything bad because I don't need Uh mister Morrison
jumping out of a pool with no water and coming after me jumps out of
my pool and has no water on them. You gotta love it. Um,
guys, everyone wants to take the lead on this one. So I
got a little bit on this one, not too much. Valkyrie. I'm
still I'm still learning her. I've seen her to ring a bit, not
too familiar with her. Uh Tony, I've I've loved her since her n
ec Uk days. Um. It's a shame how they treated her in w
W E Um, I'm still how do I say? Um, she's still
growing on me as a heel. I was actually have the bidy face more.
Um, But I do like the idea of her being a hill alongside
will be a Paige who you know, the name of the group Outcast is
kind of reflects what happened with their career w and that's that they were kind
of rejected in a way. So you know, this match was again a
solid match again Ruby, I don't know what is Maybe we'll be with this
weekend. But the distraction for the finish of the match was wasn't done well.
Valkyrie spent too much time worried about we'll be on the outside when you
know Tony was behind her. It just it was like a second and a
half too long. I don't know, it just it didn't work. But
back to what you were saying earlier Map about the new rules, the finish
of the match was that snap power driver from Storm to Valkyrie. So I'm
wondering again, like how you said, whether the rules could be fully implemented
or there any repercussions, tuitor, or is it just something that they're putting
out there as a disclaimer, What do you got on in mav so this
match itself, I didn't really get much from it, just because well in
the middle of it, everything glitched out, so I didn't even get to
see the end of it. The beginning I wrote down that Ruby and Tony,
they're doing pretty good heel work. Ruby does really great as a heel.
Tony, I do agree, you really should just have stayed as a
baby face. But then calling all the fans idiots and stuff, you know,
it works it, you know, it's getting them to boo them and
everything. During this match, as I was watching, I was enjoying it,
and I started thinking, you know, going back to like let's say
two thousand and four, two thousand and five, women's matches are really evolved
weird, like top matches were considered like Kelly Kelly, and it's like,
God, this isn't any yeah, exactly, And it's evolved so much that
I can actually sit and enjoy a women's match now. It's not just you
know, the Pea break match at this point. But uh yeah, so
the rest of my notes really just the show is glitching. How did the
match end? I'm glad you caught the beginning of it, because I only
caught the end of it, so it just kind of works out. Yeah,
Mark, what did you get dry Mutu? Well, um, the
same here, you know, uh, you know with the video problem during
the match. So well, first of all, the match starts off pretty
good, sounds like it's gonna be uh or it looks like it's gonna be
good. And then this happened, okay, and then then they go to
a Julia Bambi h match about ten or twelve seconds seconds and uh, and
then this happened. And then they go to uh Tony con out there with
Martha Heart, doctor Martha Heart, and they're doing the uh the proper trophy
and presentation for the An Heart Tournament, and uh, I thought it was
classically done. You know, I'm not sure what kind of a doctor,
uh miss Hart is. Uh you know, so because I was once called
the Doctor of Love, but I don't think that counts. But anyway,
you know, so hopefully, Um, I enjoyed it. I thought it
was classically done or classically done as far as you know what I mean.
And uh so good? I thought good? Uh so did did you guys
get this? I did? Uh? First time during Calgary. You know
what better time to do this during Calgary Stampede, especially especially more meaningful because
it's only steps away from where everything began. Um We're Too Hard launched Stampede
wrestling where he launched many many careers, including another than I one a heart
so um. All the salutes during the match, the FTR ring gear,
the seeing Punk ring gear, all the of the salutes to the Heart family
was just was done very nice. All the little nuggets Easter eggs they were
left throughout this, throughout this broadcast was done well, mad did you feel
did you still? I'm sure you saw all the little salutes, but how
did you feel about everything that was put together? So I enjoyed seeing how
much they were celebrating. Yeah, I think it's a good word to put
it. And they were celebrating the careers of these uh those two brothers that
really came up and just a heart family in general, I should really say,
And how much did they really contributed to this form of entertainment that we
absolutely love today? I had to admit there was a couple of times where
I kind of felt like they were still sucking up to Canada to an extent,
But it wasn't done in a bad way. But the one thing that
I noted during the trophy ceremony was Starks gave more respect to doctor Hart than
he did the Juician thunder Lager And that still burns me a little bit.
But you know, part of the business, I guess, part of the
show. Angle. There's an angle coming. Hm, I can see it.
There's an angle coming, because that that is too, like you said,
my friend, way too noticeable the disrespect that he showed um during that.
Uh. But we we do get another match, and the satellite stayed
up. We get the Perfect ten Sean Spears going against the lucif Source with
a Christian cage carrying the belt out and uh and Sean Spears with some really
cool contacts apparently. So yeah he's back to his contacts. Uh. You
got dinosaurs versus the Perfect ten Spears. Yeah, thist this this match for
me, it's it kind of still feels all about Christian. I know he's
there as a mentor, he's carrying the title. I just I love it,
I really do. I've always loved Christian Spears. I've always liked him
too, especially as the NXT. I was sad to see him leave.
I thought he did really well in the Pinnacle of the MJF, you know,
a couple of years back, and I know he's spattling some injuries.
Um, I kind of expected him to be a champion already, maybe not
an ADF champion, but expect him to be up there. But I know
he's battling back. This match was okay for me, not a barn burner.
I don't know if he should have finished the show. Um, there's
something about Christian when he took off his jacket, he's wearing that sleeveless turtleneck.
He made him look like the just the most obnoxious Canadian just literally in
the country. I got a real good kick out of that. This guy's
just I mean again, this guy's doing career work now as a manager role,
mentor you know, he's taking a kind of backseat to the air ring
stuff. Maybe preserve his body, which you guys have one it Mark,
you want to take this one first, man, I'll go and and uh,
what about Scorpio Sky. They had a little Scorpio Sky siding up in
there, so they're they're building that angle, building that angle. I really
thought Spears did his best work when he was going over the top rope and
lucas catches him and he's sold it so good. It looked really good.
And then the match goes you know, accordingly, you think Lucasaurus is about
to win it. You can get a couple of good little kick outs,
so kind of made uh, mister spears look okay. Uh. And of
course Christian Cage hollering on the outside. You know, it's our title,
it's my title, it's my title, and you know, and ordering him
around. I think, uh, I think Christians some of the best work
he's probably done. Um you know, and um, you know, I
mean he's perfect for that. And yes, when they tore his jacket off,
the dickie and he had it looked like it that's where it looked like
the world's largest dickie just pushed it into it. I don't know every please
help me, please all right. So I kind of enjoyed that they're kind
of slowly pushing Scorpio Sky into this. It's not a full on Okay,
he's going to be ringside. No, he's just backstage watching. He's eyeing
up Lutasaurus the whole time, or as I keep writing them down, as
a lucac cage at this point since they you know, share the title.
So I kind of felt like the match's end was a little bit anticlimactic.
I don't know, seeing that chair spot in the corner where Lucasaurus speared into
it and then you know, Spears tried to go for the pin, and
then the whole match ends on what was it like a lariat of some sort.
Oh, it just didn't feel right to me. Uh. There's also
one table spot that had bothered me. It was where a Lucha Source puts
Spears over top the wall and there was some sort of announcers table on the
other side of it. I don't know, it just kind of fell flat
to me, didn't hit right like a usual table spot does. And I
enjoyed the match overall, but for some reason, it just didn't look right
with those couple of moments. The match end just kind of felt antichlimactic.
But I do just love seeing Christian come running in with his title that he's
so happy that leucasourcearned for him. I don't know, it just kind of
seems like he's so proud of the prize that just isn't quite his. But
he's going to claim it. Anyways, that table spot kind of threw me
off. I think it was the camera angle. You're right, he didn't
feel I just felt like out of whack, just out of bounce. Didn't
feel right. And then that's set up with the chair. I don't know,
Christian kind of which it in there, he didn't get in there enough.
And then the reversal to get Lucha the smash into it seemed a step
off. I felt like he should have countered that chaish, I mean that
chair hit with his finisher with the see four um and then yeah, you're
right, the ending didn't It's just I don't know, but Christians said up
the chair and then Luca going into it, I kind of felt like might
be the start of of that. If they're gonna like break off, that's
like the very beginning. Lucas maybe might complain about him putting the chair in
the wrong spot or whatever the reason is. Um, that might start some
of the tension there between them, because eventually we know that Luca's gonna turn
face. Um, either Christian's gonna turn on him to get the title,
or Luca's gonna turn turn on Christian but in turn make himself a baby face,
kind of like Kyle I felt Shanon Bezer did with Ronda Rozzie this past
few weeks when she turned um, so what just kind of see how that
plays out, Mark Man, I could agree with you guys anymore. Uh,
definitely, everything was good and on this one except for the ending,
and you know, but it was still entertaining and it was okay. Um,
you know, but overall, we have seen three hours of wrestling on
this night, and you know, if we were going to give it a
grade, you know, I'm gonna maybe say, uh yeah, C plus
B minus because it's all hinges on that fifty eight minute match we got over
there. I think that was the best we saw. But guys, so
the first hour was an A, the second hour was it B in the
third hour was it s? For me? We had an average? Yeah,
I'm gonna agree there. I'm gonna say that overall of this show was
I'm gonna say it B minus because the technical difficulties is what really sold it
into the minus for me. If it worked for that, it may have
been a solid be because you know, half an match just didn't happen.
We didn't get to see it, so to me, it's like, okay,
part of the show just doesn't exist. So I don't know, right,
yeah exactly. So it could have been great, could have been absolutely
horrible. I don't know. Just you know Bike's face. Yeah, we'll
only know what YouTube shows us. Uh, that's about it on that one.
But Rocky, I'll tell you what, why don't you walk us out
of here? I'll end us up here and we will get We'll slowly in
uh this, uh this? Uh can I say collision? Can I say
uh this? Uh uh this? Get together? We've Rocky you start.
Well, that's that's kind of what it's gonna be. It's gonna seem like
collisions because, like I said, that's not I wasn't available when I thought
I was gonna be. Same. Same goes for the last two weeks.
Last minute, he's come up, and you know, one day Michael's gonna
pop in here, or one day we're gonna have you know, a guest
voice come on from the mailback potentially, and they're you know, all of
our thoughts are colliding, and that's from different generations. You know, Mark,
you're older than us. I'm in my thirties. Mass in the twenties.
We have multiple generations of thoughts and you know, just colliding and um,
it's great because we each see we each see things with their own eyes
that the other one doesn't. And you know that's when we get together to
talk about it. We can point out all those things. And we know
there's a multitude of fans out there that think the way they're saying we do,
and they see things or feel feel different ways about certain endings or finishes
that we don't. So you know, it's I'm glad to be back.
I'm gonna try my best to come on every week. Um, you know,
we got things stirring up for Wrestle Magic, so you guys, you
know, keep a look out for that again. I can be reached that

here for for us, all right, So to close out, I want
to just give a quick shout out to my buddy Brian Griffin for reaching out

can make our show, you know, a bi monthly thing versus just once
a month, which is what it's been lately. But we do so much
compound research with our topics that it takes weeks to get the format settled for
all the segways and you know, the things that we want to discuss because
there's so much. I mean, we're talking about decades of rescuing history that

a neuter and as always, this is Memphis Mark and I'm out all right,
