Tony Khan promised a gift for Sting on tonight's show. Sting announced last week
that he would be retiring at aw Revolution in twenty twenty four, and Tony
Khan was going to have a special gift for him, and a lot of
guesses as to what that gift might be, but the gift turned out to
be Rick Flair. Can we return this gift if we have the receipt?
Will they allow us to return the gift at the store if we present the
receipt to the cashier there he was in the middle of the ring paying homage
this thing, saying some nice words about him. Tony Khan had a gift
for all of us, though, and that was the gift of Okata.
It was very casually announced last week that Kazuschka Okada from New Japan Pro Wrestling
would be wrestling on Dynamite tonight in a tag team match with Orange Cassidy against
Brian Danielson and Claudio Castignoli, so the first time that Okada and Danielson had
been in the ring together since Forbidden Door. When Okada broke Danielson's arm,
he was very casually thrown out there last week and That turned out to be
the highlight of the night because we had a very good, very fun made
event that gave us a little preview of what is to come at Russell Kingdom,
because I still believe the match of w Russell Kingdom will be the rematch
between Brian Danielson and Okada, and I thought what they did tonight was perfect
because we got Okada and Danielson a little bit in the ring, but they
didn't give too much away, right, You want to save that for the
eventual rematch. So we got a small preview of what is to come in
the eventual rematch between these two men. But we also had Claudio in there
for the first time with Okada, which is something I was looking forward to.
Just as much as seeing Danielson and Okada back in the ring, we
seeing Claudio in the ring with Okada, and Claudio picks up the win for
his team, pinning Orange Cassidy, which has now earned him a match next
week week on Dynamite for the AW International Championship. They did an angle postmatch
that a lot of people are assuming and thinking was real and I know what
they were doing. They were basically planting the seeds for the eventual rematch between
Danielson and Okada, and Danielson was selling a face injury, and I'm sure
that's all it was, but it came off very awkwardly and it kind of
killed the crowd because I don't think the crowd really knew what they were doing.
I think the crowd thought he might seriously be heard, uh, and
he wasn't. But that's kind of how they took it. And you had
all these people out there, because the Blackpool Combat Club members were out there,
the Best Friends members were out there, was out there. He was
jawjacking back and forth with Wheeler Yuda, and it was almost like you were
waiting for something to happen. And you can see Okada and he was sort
of taunting Danielson. He was rubbing his face like, oh, does it
hurt? Does it hurt? So, and that's how they went off the
air. So yeah, it was. It was a little bit of an
awkward ending to the show, a little bit chaotic there at the end,
but I loved everything about that main event. And speaking of main events,
this is a very newsworthy episode of Dynamite, and I really like tonight's show,
except for maybe a couple things, but I enjoyed tonight's show and it
was a newsworthy show for a few reasons. And one of the reasons this
show was newsworthy is for the announcement that on Collision this Saturday, they are
going to be in Connecticut. We have a huge main event. Now,
if you listen to the SoundOff on Sunday, I talked about this possibility that
they were probably going to make the announcement on Dynamite this week that we were
going to get an MJF Kenny Omega match for the AW World Championship on Collision,
Right. I just talked about this on Sunday, and sure enough we
got the announcement tonight that it will be MJF defending his title against Kenny Omega.
The biggest main event in Collision history is coming up this Saturday, and
they had to do it. They had to do it this weekend because the
whole point, the whole story, is that MJF is days away from breaking
Kenny Omega's record is the longest reigning AEW World champion of all time. They
couldn't wait any longer if they were going to play off of that. They
had to do the match on Collision, and we aren't going to do it
on Rampage. So we're getting that match, huge main event coming up on
Collision this Saturday, and look for a show that they're trying to I'm sure
boost the numbers and they want to keep Collision relevant as a top show for
them. People should tune in must see. That's a must see main event
if you're a big aw fan. MJF against Kenny Omega for the first time
ever is a big time main event. We had a lot of big names
on the show tonight, if you think about it. We had Sting,
We had Rick Flair mega appearance. We had Adam Copeland on the show tonight.
We had who else did we have? We had Danielson, we had
Okada right, we had RVD made another cameo appearance on the show tonight.
We had Omega, we had MJF. So a lot of big names,
a lot of star power on the show tonight. We also had a home
invasion angle where Swerve Strickland dropped by Hangman Page's home to visit his family,
throw a little more fuel on the fire in the feud between those two.
So we saw Swerve make it personal tonight heading into their eventual rematch, and
we had one of the blemishes on the show, which was for the aw
Women's World Championship. We had Karroshida defending her title against Ruby Soho and I
don't know if actually I do know, I take that back. It just
wasn't a very good match, but I think it's made worse by the fact
that I just sat here and watched last night, a really good Halloween Havoc
Night one of NXT Halloween Havoc, and there was something that struck me about
that Halloween Havoc show and anybody who watched it, which is that half the
show was occupied by the ladies. At five women's matches on the NXT show
last night, and nearly every single one of them, except for the main
event, which had Becky Lynch at it, nearly every single one of them.
Basically it was a combination of developmental talents, and all but one were
tremendous, I thought. I mean, although they were very good last night,
and it was certainly better than what we got on this show. The
one women's match here for the championship that we got on this show tonight,
I don't know what happened in this match. The crowd didn't give a shit
about it either. The crowd was completely dead for this match. They just
could not get into what these two ladies were trying to do. I've seen
Hikarashida and Ruby Soho in the ring together. In fact, I think they
had a match on Rampage last month that was very good, as I recall,
so I don't know what happened tonight, but this match was a miss.
It was a fail. Nobody seemed to care about it, and it
had an absolute just dumb shit spot in this match that made absolutely no sense
whatsoever. And whoever came up with the idea to do that spot in this
match, which should be reassigned to other duties within the company. We'll talk
about that spot. We'll talk about that match, which unfortunately I didn't like
at all. It was the weak point of the show. But I did
say it was a newsworthy show. We had the announcement tonight of a brand
new AW pay per view. We have two pay per views left this year.
Full Gear will not be the last show. Saturday, December thirtieth,
live on pay per view, AW will present World's End from the Nassau Coliseum
here in New York, not in the city, but it's going to be
out on Long Island at the Nasau Coliseum. And so that was rumored that
there might be a pay per view the day before New Year's Eve. And
we know that AW is adding more pay per views heading into twenty twenty four.
They may end up with one pay per view every single month. But
this is their newest addition to the pay per view roster coming up on December
thirtieth. But we'll talk about all of it because this is your AW Dynamite
review for Wednesday, October twenty fifth, twenty twenty three. I am the
Solemn Monster. Yes, a few minutes, a few minutes late. Despite
all of the protesting by certain individuals in the chat who apparently have a hot
date that they have to catch at the end of tonight's stream, you know,
they're basically sitting there going, Hey, what's going on here? Right,
solo monster, come on, let's go get the party on the road.
Here. Here's my piece of advice to those people who are just they're
in such a rush and they're seriously bothered. Go find another street. There's
tons of other reviews out there. If it bothers you that much, I'm
sure you will find the one that you love and they will keep you updated
with what's going on on Dynamite. But everybody else, we got a good
review planned for tonight, so like and subscribe if you would hit that like
button, I would appreciate it. We're shooting for four hundred likes here if
we are to do our be the booker segment a little bit later on,
let's see if we can get there. Super chats are open. Channel memberships
are open as well, if you would like to become a channel member.
If you like my content, you appreciate what I do. I do appreciate
all of the support. So again, any super chats, we'll go through
them. Any questions you have, fire him on off to me and we
will go through that a little bit later on. But let's start here from
the top with this Dynamite show. Because the show opened up with Renee in
the back and she was there to interview the aw World Heavyweight Champion Maxwell Jacob
Friedman, who said that he had to make a super quick phone call before
we went any further, and he dialed up his former for Now tag team
partner, the injured Adam Cole, who had his surgery. By the way,
best wishes to Adam Colet, who has said this is the most painful
and frustrating injury that he has ever had to deal with in his career,
and that is coming off a year, by the way, where he described
his concussion last year Forbidden Door as the most serious and frustrating injury of his
careers. So for him to say that tells you how bad it really is.
But he dialed up Adam Cole put him on speaker phone. Cole said
that he was happy to get out of that psycho's house. Referring to Roderick
Straw Jacob Doddeley, thank you for the fifteen bucks. Hey, Jacob,
I hope you're doing well. Man, I hope you're doing well. I
appreciate that. I don't appreciate an eyeshole, but I do appreciate that.
So Roderick Strong, right, Almost as soon as Adam Cole makes reference to
him, Roddy shows up and he gets wheeled in by Matt Tavin and Mike
Bennett. MJF ends the call. At that point, Strong said that MJF
is obviously the man behind the devil mask, of course means he isn't,
but in a world where we pretend that he isn't. He said that he
would be willing to help him with Bullet Club Gold because of their mutual friendship
with Adam Cole wasn't interested in this, and he shoved Roddy's wheelchair backwards out
of camera frame, and then he cut a very heated promo on Juice Robinson,
his opponent on the show tonight, said that he's got a bullet with
his name on it and live in Philly he will not miss, at which
point they cut to a shot elsewhere of someone in the devil mask looking into
the camera, moving their head around, and of course then they cut the
camera feed. So the mystery continues as far as who the mass Man is.
But that led into our opening match of the evening. Here for the
Dynamite Diamond Ring MJF, who has won the Diamond Ring from day one.
The only winner of that Diamond ring, the only person to hold that ring
has been MJF, and so he was defending his ring tonight against Juice Robinson,
who won that battle Royal on TV last week. MJF immediately went on
the offensive to Robinson's her ringside, He sat him on a chair next to
the barricade, and then he booted Juice sent him over the barricade. Back
at ringside. MJF catapulted him face first into the ring post, and Robinson
came up busted open and bleeding from the forehead. MJF shouted at him,
you want to talk about getting another gold tooth, And so he took Juice
and he opened his mouth, and he placed his open mouth on the top
ringstep. So he was teasing a curb stop. We're not talking about a
seth Rollins. Curb stop. We're not talking about that little bullshit curb stop.
We're talking about an American history ex curb stop. We're talking about Tony
Soprano and Cocoa in one of the more famous scenes in Soprano's history. We're
talking about that kind of curb stop. But as he was standing with his
boot on the back of Juice's head, the guns were out there, Austin
and Colton guns that they distracted MJF. So he ended up not following through.
Robinson took advantage of the distraction. He sent MJF into the ring steps.
Back inside Austin Gunn passed mjf scarf to Juice, who choked MJF with
it while Colton distracted the referee. At that point, Jay White walked out
on stage holding the big Burdberry belt and he took a seat next to the
announcers as we went into the picture and picture break. So we come back
and while the referee is distracted, MJF uses his scarf to choke out Juice
turn turn about his fair play, right, that's only fair. MJF takes
a taste of Juice's blood that he calls for the kangaroo kick, and he
hits the kangaroo kicked, and the crowd goes crazy. I still can't believe
he got that stupid kicked over, but he did, right the sign.
That's the sign of a good wrestler. When you can take a stupid movie,
you can get it over like that. The worm, the caterpillar,
the people's elbow. Let's be honest, these are stupid, stupid moves that
these men were talented enough to get over. So the kangaroo kick is still
very popular. Robinson a little bit later on, he spits in mjf's face
and then he hits him with the left hand of God Robinson power bomb MJF.
He covered him for an earfall. MJF fought back. He took out
the guns with the suicide dive. Later on, the guns tried to enter
the ring and the referee tried to keep them out. Juice put on his
TJ Max ring and he was getting ready to hit MJF with it, but
he did not see MJF on the mat, slipping the Dynamite Diamond ring onto
his finger at the same time, and MJF when he got up he punched
Robinson with the ring, ended up hitting the heat seeker and he scored the
pit. So MJF picks up the wing and for the fourth straight year,
MJF is the winner of the Dynamite Diamond Ring. And some people are going
to look at this and go, what is the point If he keeps winning
every year, that's the point. It's not meant to be like what money
in the bank or King of the Ring would be in WWE. It was
meant to be a gimmick for MJF. But it's part of his personage,
part of his character. He's probably never going to lose that diamond ring.
So every year you just sort of expect that he's going to keep the ring
because it's part of who he is. I really like the intensity here from
MJF when you consider the angle they did a few weeks ago, even though
they want a whitewashing and pretend it didn't happen. Although there was a very
brief reference to it in mjf's promo when he did sort of without saying it
directly, he did allude to the quarters thing from a few weeks ago.
But obviously all the blowback they got, all the bad publicity they got,
they want to pretend it never happened. But he should be angry, and
he should be upset with bullet club goal, not not only for the quarters
thing, but just you know, they've been obviously messing with him for weeks
and Jay White stole his belt, so he was appropriately pissed off. And
outside of the kangaroo kick, this was not played for comedy or anything like
that. I like the intensity that we saw, and this was a very
good match. There was a hot way to open the show. Now the
guns attacked MJF. After the match. Jay White joined in the assault.
Here comes Matt Tavan and Mike Bennett, and they are wheeling Roderick Strong down
to the ring, speed walking with him down to the ring in his wheelchair.
So Bennett and Tavan they run into the ring themselves to go after the
guns, but they are quickly cleared from the ring. Here come the acclaimed
and Billy Gun. They get into the ring and they ran off Bullet Club
Gold. Jay White was on the stage with a mic, and he tells
MJF to forget about all the people who were coming after you. Forget about
Samoa Joe, and forget about Wardlow, and forget about all of these people.
He's the only challenger that matters. Focus on him. Robinson said that
MJF would never get his hands on the Bang Bang belt again. Colton took
the mic. He congratulated MJF on winning his ring back, and I thought,
back, he never lost the fucking thing winning it back. Then he
reminded MJF that he didn't have his belt back. Colton challenged MJF to put
his Ring of Honor World Tag Team titles on the line against the guns at
full gear. MJF agreed to this very stupid thing for him to do,
which means he's pulling double duty. Again like he did it all in He's
gonna be wrestling twice on the same show. Why he would agree to this,
Well, look, even MJF falls victim to dumb babyface syndrome, which
is exactly what happened here. So he agreed to the challenge. He said
he would also see j White at full gear, but he wasn't gonna wait
that long to get his hands on him. He said that he would pick
three partners of his choosing to face Bullet Club Gold in an eight man tag
team match in the main event of next week's Dynamite show, and when his
team wins, he says Jay White has to give his belt back to him.
So that ended the Bullet Club Gold portion of this segment. But we
were not done yet, because then we heard the sounds of Max over and
over and over again, like somebody wanting a subscription to the service Max Max.
We heard it over and over again. It was Roderick Strong at ringside
in his wheelchair. MJF stopped him and said, dude, you know he's
in the ring looking down at this fucking guy, going I'm right in front
of you. You don't have to keep yelling my name over and over again,
and Roddy goes, you're obviously going to pick us right talking about himself
in the Kingdom. Mjf's response to this idea was to tell Roddy to have
Tavin Bennett roll him off a cliff, and then he called him a bland
bitch, which I assume is a no. In the ring, Max Caster
piped in, he got a mic and he asked if that meant that MJF
was going to pick his team, if he was going to pick the acclaim
and Billy Gunn and MJF says, look, I've known you for a long
time, since I was eighteen years old, and he goes, I never
liked you. Said I wouldn't tag with you if I was on fire,
and teaming with you was the only way to put it out. So the
fans booed, and Caster said, so you're saying there's a chance, and
they all cheer. Castor asked MJF to scissor him. Mjft's that he was
going to do it, but when he came in, he took Caster's fingers
and he closed them and everybody booed as MJF left the ring, and he
muttered as he was leaving, he was muttering to himself, never, it
will never happen, which of course means it will happen. And then the
day that it happens, everybody is going to pop huge when he scissors Maxcaster.
But we were not done yet. The segment rolled on because as MJF
was leaving, we heard Kenny Omega's music and Omega walks out on stage.
He goes face to face with MJF. We got a holy shit chant from
the crowd. Omega told MJF that he has something that he wants, and
Omega says that he has something MJF wants. Omega said that if MJF is
better than him, then he shouldn't be afraid to show it. So his
his reverse psychology here was very effective because MJF said, you know what he's
game and he challenged Kenny Omega. He threw down the gauntlet and he said
that on Collision in Connecticut this Saturday, he will defend the aw World Championship
one on one for the first time ever against Kenny Omega, and they shook
on it. MJF delivered his cash phrase. Omega did the same, but
then he held on too mjf's hand. They pulled him in and he whispered
in his ear and he said three days, bitch. Then he walked off.
So yeah, they packed a lot into this opening segment. Here's a
lot to unpacked here. Hey Renots three six y five just became a sound
off superstar. He Renots, I salute you, my friend, thank you
very much, much appreciate. So a lot to unpack here. First of
all, MJF retains the Dynamite Diamond ring. Not really a big surprise.
I thought there was a chance he might lose it, but not surprising that
he would hold onto it. Now we have an ROH tag team title match
handicap match set up for full Gear. I would say that Roddy would volunteer
and we an MJF Roddy team, but he made pretty clear tonight he wants
nothing to do with roder Rick Straw. So as things stand, it will
be MJF all by himself defending the ROH Belts against the Guns. I still
think those belts are gonna end up around the Kingdom. They're gonna go straight
from MJF to the Kingdom. But the guns are going to get the shot
at full gear and we are getting a first time ever made event on Saturday
on Collision between MJF and Kenny Omegan. As I said at the beginning of
the stream, it had to happen on collision. If the story here is
that Kenny Omega wants one chance, he wants one last chance to preserve his
streak. Is the longest reigning champion in the history of this company, aw
World Champion obviously, you know jade Car Gill was TBS champion for five hundred
plus days. Then he has to beat MJF on collision because I think is
it Halloween. I think on Halloween is when he officially passes. Oh make
So for the people who are going to say, well, why would you
blow this match on TV? Why would you waste this match on Collision instead
of doing it at a pay per view, I will say that they just
added a new pay per view at the end of the year on December thirty.
So yes, if they wanted a big main event on December thirtieth at
an Asau Coliseum, MJF against Kenny Omega would have been a big one.
But that's not the story they're trying to tell. MJF is a Mark man,
He's got people coming from him at every angle. Right tonight it was
Juce Robinson at full gear. It's gonna be Jay White, Samoa. Joe
wants that title Wardlow is coming after him. He's got people coming at him
left and right. The Omega match is all about this record, so that's
why they're doing it On Collision, I don't expect to clean finish. If
you're expecting a fluky finish, you're probably right. We're probably going to get
some sort of a disqualification or a no contest or a distraction finish. MJF
is not losing the World Championship on Saturday. We could see the Kallus family
get involved and Door Bullet Club Gold at the very least I would expect them
to be involved. So yeah, I'm not going into this expecting that we're
going to get a clean finish, nor should you be expecting that. But
I'm also not going to sit here and complain about the fact that AAW and
Tony Conn are trying to make Collision a musty show on Saturday people. Sometimes
one of the criticians I hear about AW is that they don't give enough truly
big matches on televisions. Some people would like every now and then they'll throw
out a dream match or something like that, but some people wish that they
would put more higher caliber matches in terms of their biggest names and their biggest
stars on television. Well, this should satisfy those people, because I can't
think of a bigger match they could be doing on television than MJF against Kenny
o'megan. I know I'll be tuned in for that match. I may even
have to go live on Saturday. We'll see. But I don't have an
issue with it, and I'm glad they're doing it because if you look ahead,
all these people that MJF has beef with, now, when would they
even do the Omega match? So if they don't do the Omega match,
now, you want it on a pay per view? What pay per view
would you like it on. He's already got a line of people out the
door gunning for him and his championship. So instead of holding off until maybe
double or nothing next year or a year from now, maybe they'll get around
to doing Omega and MJF, they're doing it now. It's basically two babyfaces
one on one, and they're giving you a big match on free TV.
I don't see what there is to complain about. So this was a very
newsworthy, very busy, eventful opening segment, but I thought it was a
hot way to start the show. I mentioned Wardlow. In fact, in
the very next segment, we got a Wardlow vignette with footage of him spliced.
Instance, they were in Philadelphia tonight. They had footage of him running
up the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art with the Rocky statue you could
see. He said that he went to a very dark place in the months
that he was away from AW and he had to sit at home and he
had to watch as MJF became the name in the face of the company.
Despite all of the evil things that he has done and all of the evil
things that he has said about Tony Kahan, about this company, about the
people who work for this company, he hasn't forgotten about that. He also
mentioned the fact that I'm watching this guy who I beat last year walking around
as the AW World Heavyweight Champion, main eventing the biggest show he said,
in the history of the business, which again that's what they say at all
in he has to sit home and watch this and obviously it makes him sick.
He said he felt the devil's clawed digging deeper in his back. He
said, there's nothing more than nothing more that MJF can take from him.
Now he is going to take everything from MJF. This was great and it
was another example of again how much of a mark man MJF really is right
now. But this is a good way to explain the attitude that Wardlow has
had since he's come back, where we just see him walking out. He's
expressionless, he doesn't interact with the crowd, he doesn't say anything. He
just comes out. He power bombs people, he goes back through the crowd,
he comes off looking if anything's out there looking angry and pissed off,
well, he's got a right to be angry and pissed off. In storyline,
he's got a reason to be angry and pissed off, and in reality
he's got a reason to be angry and pissed off because if I look back
and I see the year that I've had is the year that Wardlow's had where
he was to where he is now, I'd be pretty fucking pissed too.
So there's probably a lot of legitimate feelings there, but in storyline, he
should be upset. He powerbombed this guy ten times at double or nothing last
year, he dominated him, and now this guy is the world champion and
Wardlow gets his ponytail cut off. He is screwed and screwed over and over
again, all the shit with qt's crew and all I think of all the
stuff that Wardlow has been through over the past year, and he has to
sit at home and watch this guy on television, headlining pay per views and
defending the world championship. So I'm glad they acknowledge that, and I'm glad
that they are telling that story, because that is the story that makes the
most sense. Why he would be so upset, why he would want revenge
on MJF. Plus their history. He hasn't forgotten about the way he was
treated. He was treated like a servant, he was treated like a bum.
He was the Virgil to mjf's ten DVASI. He doesn't forget about that.
He should be upset. So I thought this was very good. I
enjoyed this vignette. We should see more like this, We should hear more
from Wardom. Now we had Rob van Dam and Hook we've seen them off
and on as a tag team over the past couple of months. They were
in Philadelphia. I hear RVD has a little bit of history in that city,
just a little bit. They teamed up tonight to take on John Silver
and Alex Reynolds of the Dark Order. Reynolds tried a little trash talking with
Hook to start the match and he was immediately taken down. RVD made the
tag, as did John Silver. RVD hit his monkey flip and a double
clothes line that sent both members with the Dark Order out to the floor.
That took us into the commercial break. Hook was isolated during the break,
but he hit an exploder on Silver before RVD tagged back into the match.
He dished out a series of kicks, hit a rolling thunder, but Reynolds
saved his partner. Aubrey Edwards was just freely a allowing Reynolds and Silver here
to double team. So great officiating there. RVD, though, fought them
off to allow Hook to hit some cross face shots and the match broke down.
Evil Uno jumped in with a chair, RVD caught him with a van
terminator or a vandaminator. Van terminator is very different. Hit him with a
Vandaminator five star frog splash to Alex Reynolds follows as hook slapped on red rum
and he forced John Silver to tap out. So simple, inoffensive. This
was fine. The people like seeing RVD, they like singing to Pantaro when
he comes out. For those who don't know, RVD is not signed to
a contract with AW, but he is brought in on a per appearance basis.
So whenever Tony Kahan wants to use RVD, he picks up the phone,
he calls him, he comes in, he pays him. Not a
bad gig for Rob van Dam. He's not tied down to a contract.
He gets to show up to his old music, get to pop, he
gets to do a match every now and then. It's not a bad gig.
And unlike we've seen other ECW originals that are still out there, and
we saw Tony Con many months ago bring in Saboo and some of these guys
really shouldn't be in the ring anymore. Unlike them, RVD can still go.
You know, he goes out there and if you look at him,
he looks like the same RVD, and he hits all of his greatest hits,
you know, the Rolling Thunder, the Daminator, the five Star.
He can still get some good height on that, so the crowd was happy
with it. Now we go to the back and we see RJ City and
he's sitting backstage introducing us to Tony Storm's latest silent film, which she calls
Hold That Butler. I like that because Hold that Ghost is one of my
favorite Abbin and Costello movies, probably my second favorite one, I would say,
after Aben and Costello Meet Frankenstein. I don't know for sure that this
was a playoff of that, but I heard Hold That Butler and it made
me think of Hold that Ghost. So Tony Storm showed up and she cut
him off, and then she had the truck play the film, and that
took us into the picture and picture break. They've been doing this the past
few weeks where they'll show Tony Khan's Silent Tony Khan's Tony Storm's Silent Film as
produced by Tony Kahan. Seeh, I was technically right while they play the
commercial side by side, and it also it listed November eighteenth as Tony Storm's
Hollywood homecoming and her quest for the Gold and she's going to be challenging for
the aw Women's World Championship. So depending on who won the title or walked
out with the title tonight, either Shida or Ruby, Tony would be facing
them at full gear. There we go from Tony Khan and Tony Storm to
Tony Shiavani. There's too many fucking Tony's on this show. Now, I
know why Vince McMahon wanted to change William Regal's name to William Regal from Stephen
Regel. Too many Steves, Steve Austin, Steve Regal, Steve Blackman,
Steve Williams. Too many Tony's on this show. Tony Nice right, where's
he at? Where's Tony niece? Is Tony Nie still there? Too many
Tonys. Tony Schavanni was in the ring next to introduce us to Darby Allen
and Stu Right, he does that stuing introduction that he loves to do.
Darby came out, he had his right arm and his sling. If you
saw a Wressell dream, you know what. Sting said that he wanted to
thank two people in particular that he forgot to thank last week. First,
he thanked the Philadelphia crowd. I guess that counts as a person because he
says, you know, Philadelphia, I've got a lot of history here.
He also wanted to thank Darby Allen. He means this with everything in his
heart. He could not have come this far without Darby by his side.
By far, he said, the best tag team partner that he has ever
had. And he also thanked Tony Khan. So those are the two people.
Darby Allen and Tony Khan were the two people. I guess Philadelphia was
the third man. But he wanted to thank Tony Khan for calling him,
for making that faithful phone call to him. I guess it would have been
what three almost three years ago now to bring him in and give him the
chance to grapple a little bit longer. So Tony Schavani took the mic then
away from Sting and he said that it should be Tony Khan thanking Sting.
And he said it was thirty five years ago that on this very network,
Sting put pro wrestling on the map on TBS. And he said that we
heard about it all week long, that Tony Khan had some sort of special
gift that he he was going to give to Sting on this show. And
he is very proud to bring out that special gift right now, and that
gift turned out to be then nature Boy, Rick Flair. Finally, after
all these years now four years, this company has been in existence, and
there was a period of time where Tony Khan was going to bring Rick Flair
in and then that episode of Dark Side of the Ring on the Plane Ride
from Hell aired and that was the end of that. Because I think they
wanted to bring Ric Flair in maybe to manage andrade and do something with him.
And at that point, Rick Flair's name was toxic there for a little
bit, and Tony Khan opted against it, even though he had been friendly
with Flair for a number of years. So now that time has gone by,
he decided it would be a good time to bring in Rick Flair.
Ric Flair came out to his music that you have heard him coming to the
ring too now for a number of years, and the crowd gave him a
very respectful ovation. They chanted holy shit when he got into the ring.
Flair hugs Sting. Tony Schavani said that Flair and Sting on TBS made wrestling
what it is and still is today, and he welcomed Rick Flair to aew
and he put a microphone in the man's hand, which is a dangerous thing
to do on live television. I'm sure Flair was at least seven drinks in
at this point, so you never know what's going to come out of his
mouth. The last time we saw Flair at a live event, it was
the Kill Tony podcast and he stood up and he walked out in the middle
of the Kill Tony podcast, So he wasn't here to kill Tony. Which
Tony though? Which Tony? Would he kill another Tony? I just realized
another fucking Tony. So he takes the microphone and Flair says that in life,
there are moments that are imagined. It's those moments that make you the
best. Thirty five years ago, he and Sting made history on TBS at
the first Clash of the Champions up against WrestleMania, and he said he told
Sting this when he inducted him into the Hall of Fame, that going forty
five minutes in a match is a hard thing to do. And not only
is he one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of the business, but
he is probably one of the nicest guys that he has ever known. So
when he got the invitation from Tony Kahan, he was happy to come ride
the wagon with him. He says, for a revolution, what is that
march? He goes, boy, time time passes quickly. He goes,
He's happy to be here to ride the wagon with him, and he wooed
and he gave Sting a friendly chop to the chest. You know, the
Flair. At this point he was feeling it. He was like, oh,
man, one more match. I'm feeling it. Man. We're getting
the juices flowing here. The blood is pumping barely, but the blood is
pumping. Men, you and me, Sting, come on Revolution, God
forbid. I can see Flair making the pitch to Tony Khan. I got
an idea for Revolution twenty twenty four, Sting and Rick Flair one more time?
That would be something. We got it in the NWAWCW, we got
it in TNA, and now watch Flair try to make it happen here in
aaw no thank you. Christian Cage's music hits and he comes out on stage
with Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne. Christian said that Tony Khan is a billionaire and
this is the gift that he comes up with for stick so sting, he
basically gave you a suit, some gold chains, and a black liver.
Great gift, he said. Flair looks great. You can't even see Weekend
at Bernie's at all, can't see the puppet strings. He said. He
knows there's no God because if there was, Rick Flair would have been dead
twenty years ago. Oh, I love Christian Cage. Christian Cage is awesome.
This man is on fire every time he comes out, every time I
hear his music, every time you put a microphone in his hand. Christian
Cage can't miss. Carmelo is Carmelo. Hayes saying NXTM mellow, don't miss.
Christian Cage doesn't miss. He says, Now, the real reason I'm
out here. Before he could continue, the crowd was chanting, fuck you,
Christian. It is the real reason I'm out here is because last week
Stinging Darby decided to stick their noses in my business yet again. He looked
at Darby and he goes, Darby, how's your arm feeling? And he
held up the TNT title and he said, like the Philadelphia Phillies, Darby,
look at something that you will never be a champion. Oh, Philly
didn't like that. The Phillies fans didn't like that very much. I laughed,
I loved it. I loved it. Suck on that, Philly,
and your mascot sucks too. So Christian said he had a proposition for Sting.
He said he wants to make it to Revolution because he started with aw
at Revolution twenty twenty one, and so Sting wants to go to Revolution next
year and retirement. He says he doesn't want to wait until Revolution to see
him gone. He wants him gone right now. So he's saying, there's
three of us and at full gear. Sting and Darby, get yourself a
partner, and it won't be a celebration, it'll be more like a funeral.
So Christian told the sound guy to hit my music. He didn't hit
the music, so he said it again. Sting chimed in on the mic
and then he sneezed and he apologized, and he said that he's allergic to
jackasses. And he told Christian that he and Darby accept his challenge and they're
gonna find themselves a partner. See you there. Well, that was a
lame gift. I know why, Tony Khan wanted Rick Flair there. Tony
Khan is a huge Rick Flair mark. He's a huge Sting mark. These
are his heroes, right, He grew up with these guys. He's probably
sitting in the back marking out. This is the same guy that supposedly when
CM Punk came back at Collision in June, was on headset at the gorilla
position, going CM Punk, CM Punk. It's just who he is,
so I'm sure for him he was loving the visual of seeing Rick Flair and
Sting back in the ring together. He's probably been dying to bring Flair in
and do something with him now for years, and I get it. You
know, Sting and Flair have a history, and it was a nice moment
Flair put him over. He didn't, you know, belabor the point.
He didn't cut this long winded promo or anything like that. So it turned
out turned out to be fine. But as far as gifts that could have
been given to Sting in his retirement, I mean, I think we could
have done a little bit better than that. But as far as the partner
for the match at full gear, let's skip ahead because there was a backstage
segment later in the show where Renee was in the back with Adam Copeland,
and she asked Adam Copeland if anything had changed regarding his position about not wanting
to fight his friend Christian, and Copeland said no, not really, because
nothing is more important to him than his friendship with Christian Cage. So Darby,
Allen and Sting show up and Darby says, look, I know that
Copeland came to aw to ride off into the sunset with his best friend,
but that's not the type of world that we're living in. And he said
that he look, I didn't want to break Nick Wayne's face either, but
it's kill or be killed. That's just kind of the way that it is.
Sting then shimes and he tells Copeland, he goes, look, I
know what it's like to have the blinders on. He said that he went
up and down the road with Lex and he had blinders on. He said
he learned from the dirtiest player in the game to see through people like Christian.
He told Copeland that he needed to open his eyes before it's too late,
and he got all fired up, even grabbed Edge by the shoulders.
He was like shaking him around, and he told Copeland to just listen to
what he was saying before it was too late. He told Copeland, we
go way back. Don't mess it up now, really way back. They
go way back, because I could have sworn that we had Copeland at wrestled
Dreams standing in the ring when the show was over, talking about how this
was the first time that he and Sting had even shared a ring together.
So we know they didn't do anything on camera or in the ring. So
is there some sort of behind the scenes personal relationship that I'm unaware of here
that these two have had that they go back a long way. I don't
think they go back that long. But Copeland is the obvious choice because what
else is he gonna do at full gear? Right, He's got no other
obvious match. The storyline is with Christian it's the Undertaker and Kane thing.
I will not fight my brother. It's the bread Owen thing. I will
not fight my brother, even though they've already fought many many times before.
I will not fight my best friend. I will not fight my brother.
But you can have Copeland come around and accept the spot. We get the
six man tag at Revolution The funny The funny thing about this or a full
gear out of it. But the funny thing is, this is the match
that I pitched for Revolution when we were talking about what could Sting do in
his retirement match, and I said, it's gonna be a tag match.
Every single match that Sting has had has been a tag team match of some
kind in aw And I said, if they can hold off long enough,
you could do Sting and Darby and Copeland in a trios match against Christian,
Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne, Because you know, March is still a ways off,
but you know it's not that far away. If you throw a couple
of tea Tee title challengers in there for Christian between now and then, and
you just keep this story going where edges like, I will not fight I
will not fight him. I will not fight him. You could do that
match at Revolution. So instead we're getting the match of full Gear. We're
getting it a few months early, but it's gonna be Copeland, and they
could easily. Look, they could work around the whole idea of him not
wanting to fight his best friend by not having him tag into the match to
wrestle Christian, and then there may be a moment where they both get tagged
in and Christian, you know, has no problem smacking him around, and
you know Copeland is just you just can't do it. You know, he
just cannot do it. So you save that interaction for their eventual singles match,
which we all know is coming. We all know that's what this is
eventually building to. Copeland is the obvious choice. There really is no other
obvious choice for that spot. Sure as helldo wanted to be Rick Flair,
that's for day IMN. Sure we don't need to see that, But you
listen to Flair talk in these interviews, and he even just did an interview
with Chris van Vliet and you could tell, man, he's like, man,
I wish I could get back in the ring one more match. As
far as Revolution now, if they're doing this match at full gear, I'm
back to square one. As far as what Sting's final match is going to
be, there's still people saying Sting against Darby. I don't think Darby wants
to do that, and I don't think that they want Sting or Sting doesn't
want to be in a singles match. I don't know what the match is
going to be. Today's episode is sponsored by Betterhelp. Do you ever find

earlier today. Earlier today, Renee did a sit down interview with Chris Jericho,
who was off the show last week. He was licking his wounds and
selling his injuries at the hands two weeks ago of Powerhouse Hobbs, who basically
squashed it in the middle of the ring, and Jericho said he could not
ever recall losing the way that he did to Hobbs. He said his ego
was probably hurting the most, and Renee asked if he was hitting a certain
point in his career where he needed to self reflect on what he's got left,
and Jericho said that he's always had immense self confidence in himself. He
did not see last week coming. I guess that would have been two weeks
ago. He thought he had Hobbes, but he just couldn't get out of
the hole the Spinebusters, and he mentioned the world's strongest slams. There does
come a time when he questions if he still has what it takes to beat
someone like a Will Hobbs, is it time to step back or is it
time to get stronger and even more intense. Jericho asked if it was time
to get some sort of revenge, and he said, you know, Don
Kallis has a large family. Jericho said that he has a lot of friends
too, and some of them are even bigger than Will Hobbs. He said,
maybe it's time to give them a call. Well, I think we
all know what that means. I could think of one friend that Jericho has,
although he doesn't really have to call. He's probably hanging out backstage somewhere
Old Captain Insano, his former tag team partner The Big Show, Paul White.
He's bigger than Will Hobbs. So I think that that's not only do
I think he's referring to Paul White, he may very well be referring to
Mark Henry as well. And Mark Henry has said I think that he's done
in the ring. But every wrestler says they're done in the ring, and
are they ever really done in the ring? Now, all it takes is
one phone call, go to the car, get your bag, get your
gear. We got something for you. Mark Henry and Paul White. Take
your pick one or both of them. I think Mark Henry just because of
the mentions of the world's Strongest Slam that he took from Powerhouse Hobbs. He
specifically mentioned a world's Strongest Slam, So I'm thinking it could be him and
or Paul White. But we'll see. I guess that will be the Revolution
match. Maybe they'll do some sort of a trio's match. It would be
Jericho and his friends against Hobbes and Sammy and I guess maybe Takeshta. It's
been a while since we've seen Jerishow. Yeah, yes, I am aware
of the fact that Jericho actually did apply for the trademark to the term Jerishow
back in I think it was February. I don't even know that they could
call themselves Jerisho for everybody thinking that that has something to do with it.
I mean, look, would he even be able to use that name.
I guess he would have to successfully get the application approved. I don't know
if he got it or not. I know he applied for it. That
doesn't mean he got it, but the fact that he applied for it probably
is a is a hint. I actually enjoyed Jeris show, but I enjoyed
jerish I enjoyed Jerishow fifteen years ago. Ry, what was it fourteen?
Fourteen years ago? It's been a long time since we've seen Jerishow. That
was back in his Amish Big Show days when he shaved and he looked like
he was from the Amish country. We had the Young Bucks and Hangman Adam
Page defending their Ring of Honor World six man tag team titles against the Hardies
and Isaiah Cassidy or as they call him now, brothers Zay Cassidy was doing
his best to keep things quick. Fact is, the Hardies that you see
now are not the hearties of old. They're just not. They're beaten up,
they're broken down. They've take taken a lot of abuse over the years.
They don't move the way they used to move. So this was this
was this was rough. The crowd enjoyed it, The live crowd enjoyed seeing
them, But I thought the match was was kind of rough. Brothers Zay
found himself double team by the Bucks before Hangmen made the tag, as did
Matt Hardy. After a little scuffle, both Matt's slugged it out before Jeff
blindsided Matt Jackson with a needy with a knee that allowed Hardy to hit a
side effect. Cassidy took out Nick and Page outside Matt and Jay. They
then mocked the young Bucks pose that took us into the picture and picture.
Unfortunately for Matt and Za, they were posing for too long and that allowed
Matt Jackson to hit stereo in Northern Light suit Plexes, Hangman made the tag.
He ran wild with a fallaway slam on Zay and a slingshot crossbody on
Matt. Out on the floor, Zay kicked out of a death valley driver
and he was about to hit dead eye was a hangman when Jeff made the
save and they did the silly string move that private Party used to do when
Mark Quinn was not injured. Hopefully we'll see Mark Quinn back soon. I
did see him recently. Nick fired off a series of super kicks before some
miscommunication allowed the Hardy's and Zay one last attempt to take control, but ultimately
a backfired and the Bucks connected with the bte On brother Zay to retain their
titles. I could not care any lesson about the Ring of Honor, six
Men World Tag Team titles. I don't care. I don't give a shit,
So the fact that they have the six Man belts means absolutely nothing to
me. We already have trios titles in AW. I don't know why we
need trios titles and Ring of Honor defended on AW television. But here we
are. But then none of this even matters because it was all about the
angle that came after we got the big home invasion. Prince Nana appeared on
the big screen and he welcomed us to the residence of one Hangman. Adam
Page and Page and the Bucks are live in the arena. They're looking up.
They see this and they immediately run to the back. I don't know
exactly where they're going. I guess they're going to their phones, maybe because
I imagine Hangman doesn't live in Philadelphia, so it's not like they're gonna they're
gonna run and stop him from doing whatever he's about to do. You would
think they would stay out there and at least watch pay attention to what's going
on here. But we go live to the house and we see that they
are walking around Hangman's kitchen Swerve took a child's painting off the refrigerator and said
they had no taste. Swerve then sat down on Hangman's couch and then he
heard a noise and he had Nana hand him the camera, and then he
went to go find out where the noise came from, and he went into
the child's room and he walked up to the crib. Now, they never
showed what or who was in the crib, right, you leave that up
to your imagination. Swerve, though, he leans up against the crib and
he talks about how Hangman owes him a debt, costing him title opportunities.
Hangman is messing with Swerve's career. He's messing with these championship matches that Swerve
has had, and so now he owes him a debt. And he tossed
a Mogul Embassy t shirt into the crib and said that's a reminder that the
child is in debt to him, and added that it's all his father's fault.
And Prince Nana popped his head into the room in a panic to let
him know we gotta go okay, we got to get out of here,
and Swerve then covered up the camera to close out the segment. Now they
have made things personal here between these two men, and this feels like it's
about to get very violent between these two. Maybe Texas Deathmatch violent at full
gear. I could see that. But Swerve was I thought Swerve was great
here in this segment, just you know, when he was leaning up against
the crib and delivering his promo, he sounded completely sinister here, so I
thought that that was well done on his part. Kikarashida defended her AW Women's
World Championship against the former Outcast member. I say former because I don't think
the Outcasts are a thing anymore, Ruby Soho, although the spray paint can
shit is still a thing, but the Outcast I don't think her are a
thing anymore. But it was Ruby Soho. I don't know what happened here.
As I said at the beginning of the stream, I've seen these two
in the ring before. They were in the ring in fact, on television
just last month. I don't remember them having a bad man. But this
Jess never clicked. It just never got out of first gear. There were
a couple of rough moments. The crowd didn't give a shit, you know,
and It's like we've seen Chida on television when she won the title,
and she's defended the title a few times. The people liked Chidah, you
know, generally. So I don't know exactly what went wrong here, but
this was not good. There was an early crossbody as Sheida was charging towards
the corner. She did a cross body block from the middle rope that fell
a little bit short. She got a little bit of it enough that Ruby
sold it, but she almost missed her. Chida then got ten corner punches,
hit a missile drop kick before Ruby bailed outside. Ruby, though,
grabbed Chida off the apron into a no Future kick to take control. Heading
into the break, Ruby rolled threw a crossbody into a cradle, but could
not hold on and she ended up stripping away, tripping off the middle turn
buckle pet This would come into play later on in the match. So with
Aubrey Edwards distracted, Ruby grabbed a can of spray paint and then she tossed
it to Chida. I want you to pay very close attention here what she
did. She takes this can of spray paint. Referee's attention is diverted.
She tosses the can to Chidah and then she acts like she got sprayed in
the eyes with the spray pain. Ruby then grabs the aw Women's title and
she charges, but she'da sprayed the belt instead because Ruby held it up as
a shield. So the referee grabs the belt goes to deposit the belt outside.
This distracted Chidah for some reason, who turned her back on her opponent,
and that gave Ruby a chance to choke her out I think with her
wrist tape or whatever it was, but gave her a chance to choke her
out Ruby, his destiny unknown only gets two. Ruby tried to slam Sheida
into the exposed buckle. She did hit the no Future kick, but she'da
fell back into the Katana knee for two. She'da avoided no future. She
clabbered Ruby with a knee. They traded near falls. Ruby though, got
run into the exposed buckle. She ran into the exposed steel and then she'da
hit another Nie strike for the win. After the match, Timeless Tony Storm
comes out and the screen goes black and white. Timeless Tony Storm walks out
on stage posing for the crowd with her new butler, Luther. Doctor Luther
a doctor no more. Now he's a butler. Times are tough to go
from being a doctor to being a butler, but you know what you do
what you gotta do to make a buck, right, So Luther is now
her bodyguard, and that is going to be the match at full gear,
assuming that she'd it can hold onto her title between now and then, because
she's going to be defending her championship again on collision against the winner of a
four way on rampage. But the match of full gear is going to be
Hikarashida against Tony Storm for the AW Women's World title. So I'm watching this
match and Ruby Soho's grand plan to win the AW Women's World Championship is to
do the Eddie Guerrero spot and risk potentially being disqualified by the referee should she
be caught, which would of course mean that she does not win the AAW
Women's World Championship. Who comes up with this shit? Seriously, who comes
up with this shit? Why would you do that spot if you're trying to
win the world championship? So I just I didn't like this. That was
stupid. But this just did not click. This did not work for me,
And honestly, It was the low point of the entire show, and
it really brought the crowd down. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose
some. Tonight was a down night. I don't know what else to say.
I've seen Ruby for that matter, but especially Shida, we've seen she'da
have some really good matches on television before. Unfortunately this was not one of
them. And the and the shenanigans here, which didn't even make any sense,
just made it that much worse. Backstage, in the trainer's room,
trainer is checking on MJF. When Renee entered the room and the trainer left,
Renee tried to ask MJF about his match with Kenny Omega, which is
coming up on Collision this upcoming Saturday, and he was promptly interrupted by the
samoan named Joe. He applauded MJF. He said that he only came with
the best of intentions. Joe said that MJF suffered from a lack of friends,
and he offered to watch his back and be his friend. MJF said,
okay, well that's good with me, and Joe said on one condition,
and that one condition is that MJF give him a rematch for the aw
World Championship. Joe said, you don't have to answer now, but he
assumed that he would give his answer soon given the way things are going for
MJF. Again, I like this. I like the fact they're keeping number
one. They're keeping Joe in the world title hunt, which is where he
should be. He should be in that picture somewhere, So I like that.
But it's like Adam Cole goes down with an injury, and this guy's
entire world is falling apart. He's got nobody to watch his back. He's
got no other friends in this company. See, he's wrestling Juice, he's
wrestling Jay, he's wrestling Kenny. He's gonna be a wrestling Wardlow. Now
he's got Joe breathing down his neck. He's got these stupid tag team belts
that he has to defend. Guy's falling apart. It's all crumbling around MJF.
How long can he keep this up? Our main event of the evening
Brian Danielson Claudio Castignolia of the Blackpool Combat Club against Orange Cassidy, the International
Champion and Kazuchka Okada making his in ring Dynamite debut. Oh, by the
way, let's drop Okada into the show. Sounds good to me. Again.
I don't know why I saw some people complaining because they announced I think
they announced it on Collision, right. They just kind of threw it out
there. It's Okada on dynamite. What is there to complain about? Absolutely
nothing. They played the man's music. You hear the coin drop. Everybody
in the crowd they know who's coming out. So he got a very good
reaction coming down to the ring, and it felt special because you know,
again this was unexpected, but Okada, and say what you want about you
know, he's been around for a while, and even Okada himself has been
talking recently more about retirement, you know, and how much time does he
have left. He's talking about this like he's in his mid forties, but
he's still a relatively young guy. But he's been doing this at such a
high level for so long you forget sometimes how young he still is. When
you look at the body of work that he's put together and all the championships
and all the Tokyo domain events and the quality of his matches, you can
you can see why. You know, he's such a special talent. But
even in a world where you have will Ospray and Brian Danielson and some of
these people. Okata is still one of the best in the world to do
it. So to get him on this show is a treat. It's special
because we don't ever get to see it. Tony Shavani let everybody know that
Tony Kahan was in his ear telling him that they're gonna go to the end
of the hour and beyond if need be, as long as this match takes,
they're gonna stick with it, which they did, by the way,
they did go a few minutes past the top of the hour, although don't
let some of the people in the chat know because you know, again that's
a no no apparently, you know when the show goes overtime, you gotta
be quick, right, You gotta be quick, even if you're not done
putting everything together here, you gotta be quick. Right. They got that
hot datement. That woman she's not gonna wait at Applebee's all night long.
I mean, come on, at some point, she's gonna fucking leave Eve
and go home. So, I mean, that's how it is. So
this is also where ex Caliber on commentary mentioned that, oh, by the
way, we have a new pay per view coming up on December thirtieth,
World's End. You know, to look at some of the comments on social
media, you would think that that was sort of a great description of aw
like the sky is falling and the company is folding imminitely in the next few
weeks. I don't know. I feel like some people are watching two different
products than what you and I are watching. Some of the idiotic comments I
see online about how you know dead in three months? This company is going
down the tubes. It's only a matter of time. They may not last
the year. It's always funny to me to read comments like that. So
Danielson zoned in on the left arm of Orange Cassidy here to kick off the
match. Then he tagged in Claudio, who showed off his power and he
mocked Cassidy with the wheat kicks. Cassidy tagged Ocata into a big ovation as
Okada hit a dropped toe hold and an elbow to the back of Claudio before
sprinting over to the corner he was going over to Danielson. Danielson's song coming
though, he dropped down to the floor window no no, no, no,
not yet, not yet, a forearm and an upper cut exchange between
Claudio and Ocada followed before a body slammed by Ocada that led to Cassidy hitting
the most nonchalant top rope elbow drop that you've ever seen. Claudio came back.
He hung Cassidy up on the top rope that allowed Danielson to hit a
diving knee drop that took us into the final picture and picture of the night.
Cassidy used his quickness to send Castagnoli outside uh but in trying to make
the hot tag took too long and Claudio cut him off. Claudio tried to
pull Cassidy up by the neck, but it was countered into a DDT.
Finally, Danielson and Okada they made the tag, and everybody in the building
gets up. Everybody is applauding. They're waiting for this moment, the first
time that we have seen Danielson and Ocada in the ring together since June,
when Danielson beat this man with a broken arm at forbidden door. So get
in the ring. We get the holy shit chance from the crowd here in
Philadelphia. Philly's always been a great wrestling city. Chops four arms followed.
Ocatta ducked a series of strike attempts. He had a charging back elbow and
a DDT that spiked Danielson for two. Ocata signaled for the top rope elbow,
which is the move that broke Danielson's arm, but he rolled through hit
a flapjack. Danielson countered a tombstone attempt, he stomped the arm, and
he ended up delivering a series of kicks. Okata ducked the home run shot.
Danielson, though, countered a schoolboy into a LaBelle lock. Ocatta got
a roll up for an ear fall. Both men got up. Danielson missed
a bussaiku knee, Okada missed a rain maker, and we got a stiff
back and forth with chops and four arm strikes before both men collided in the
center of the ring and we got a double down. So Claudio and Orange
Cassidy they made tags. Cassidy hit a crossbody off the top for two.
Claudio powered out of a tilt world DDT attempt and he tried for a big
swing, but Cassidy countered into the stun Dog Millionaire finally got the Tornado DDT
for two. Danielson made the save, though is He and Okada then spilled
outside. Cassidy went for the orange punch. Claudio countered into a giant swing
in mid air, which was very cool. The sharpshooter was applied. Okada
broke it up, hit the air raid crash to Claudio across his knee.
Ocatta connected on his top rope elbow drop and he did the rain maker pose
and we got the zoom out and then Orange Cassidy came in. He gave
him a hug. We got another zoom out from the producer for the director,
for whoever controls the zoom Ount Danielson broke it up with a double missile
dropkick. Ocatta came back. He got the ripcord applied and was holding him
while Cassidy hit an orange punch into a rain maker, but Claudio made the
save. Ocatta got planted with a springboard uppercut by Claudio, who followed that
up with a massive pop up uppercut to Orange Cassidy. This was this harkened
back to the NXT Black and Gold days when we saw Claudio and Sammy Zain.
I know you remember if you saw if you were watching NXT bag,
then you remember they're two out of three falls match and the first time that
I ever saw him use that spot to finish off an opponent in the match,
I think he hit him with it and then hit the neutralizer in one.
But I remember the reaction that that guy. I remember the reaction it
got out of me when he propelled Sammy in the air and just boom,
he blasted him with that forearm shot. So he did the same thing here
to Orange Cassidy and that was enough to get the three. I was worried
he was going to kick out. I mean, how many times have we
seen Orange Cassidy defending this title all year long before he lost it the first
time, kicking out of just everything you can imagine, kicking out of things
to the point of just absolute ridiculousness. That's all what we got in the
match that he had with Penta. It just got to a point where I
was like, all right, this is just has jumped the shark here.
This is ridiculous. So he did not kick out, and that's important because
now Claudio gets a shot at the International title next week on Dynamite, which
only makes sense because he pinned him in this match. This was a hell
of a sprint here in these last few minutes and a really really fun made
of it, an excellent match. Here in the event post match, Danielson
is down. He rolled over onto the apron, he rolled out onto the
apron, and he's holding his face like he broke his nose or he shattered
an orbital socket or something. Right, He's he's selling an injury and Doc
Samson comes over to check on him. Claudio comes over. Here comes John
Moxley out of the crowd, Wheeler Yuda, They come out to check on
Danielson as well. Best friends now are out there, Trent and Chuck and
Chris Statlander and even hook Hooks in the ring. He's looking at Wheeler Dah's
looking back at him and they're shouting back and forth and talking shit to each
other. Meanwhile, Danielson's still laying there. Okata is standing there looking down
at Danielson and he's taunting him and he's mocking this man. He's holding his
face like, oh, you know, like oh poor baby face is right,
like he's It was very clear that this was an angle because they are
teasing Okata Danielson too, And it's always been my belief because we didn't get
it at Wembley because Danielsen wasn't cleared anyway, but Wembley would have been too
fast forward anyway. But it has always been my belief that Tony Kahan got
the first match right at a forbidden door. New Japan probably wanted the rematch
for the Tokyo Dome and we are very close to Wressell Kingdom. January fourth
is right around the corner. That would be the perfect place to do the
rematch with Danielson and Okada, especially because we still have not seen Danielson over
in Japan. So if Danielsen was going to go to Japan, he's already
talked about the g One next year too. It's too much and it would
take him away from aaw and his family for weeks. Danielson in the g
One is probably at this point, it's just the ship that's sailed. Danielson
going over to Japan to wrestle a big Tokyo Dome match I think is very
much and play, and the match to do is him and Ocada. So
this was just again planting seeds and just building to the eventual rematch. No,
I don't believe that he's actually here. Surprised so many people actually thought
it was a legitimate injury, because that wasn't my read on it at all.
But I think the crowd wasn't sure what to make of it because they
were very quiet. It seemed like maybe they were even a little either concerned
or confused by what was going on. The announcers were selling it because he
took the orange punch and the rain maker, and so that's why he was
holding his face. Maybe his face was broken. So again, it kind
of came off a little awkward because I think people really bought into it.
But I mean, I saw it for what it was. But all the
whole this was a very newsworthy show, and I thought a very enjoyable episode.
You know. I turned around, and sometimes it's just at such a
breakneck pace. I'm trying to just keep up with my own notes as I'm
watching the show. But I looked up at the clock and I thought it
was like ten to nine, and I look and it's like nine to twenty
six. I said, holy shit, the show's almost over. I got
some catching up to do here because I had fallen behind. So the show
breezed by for me until we hit the women's match, and then it just
you know, slowed to a crawl. But I thought this was an excellent
episode of Dynamite. It forwarded some key stories on the show. It's set
up at least one big match for Collision coming up this week, and it
was a hot open to the show with the MJF stuff. That whole segment.
There was a lot going on in that opening segment from start to finish.
The Sting segment. Yeah, again, Flair is the gift. I
don't care. I mean that. To me, there was lame, but
I know why they did it, and there's history with Sting and Flare.
And if that's the only appearance that Flair makes, you know, or if
he comes back when Sting retires and he's there to celebrate with him, I
mean, that's fine, But I don't know as gifts go. I thought
that was pretty lame. But the main event was excellent as well. And
so now we head into Rampage on Friday Night. Rampage on Friday Night has
Santana and Ortiz. Now they have been running vignettes for this match, really
building the feud between these two. If you don't pay attention to what happens
on Rampage, you probably would never know it's even happening. But because I
have an interest in seeing what these two are going to do together, I've
been making sure I catch up at least with their stuff. So it's a
shame it doesn't have a bigger audience. Obviously, Rampage has the smallest audience
of all the aw shows. You know, it's a Dynamite then Collision than
Rampage, So I wish they had a bigger stage for it. But they're
doing that match on Rampage on Friday. I know I'll tune in at least
for that match, So if you want to see that match, you gotta
watch Rampage because that's where it's going to be taking place. Also, Skyblue
will Ow'night, Anna Jay and Abadon in a four way. The winner of
that four way match will then get a Women's world title match on Collision against
a Kiashida. Speaking of Collision, we have the women's title on the line
and we have the big main event of MJF defending against Kenny Omega. That
is going to be a very big main event Dynamite. Next week, Orange
Cassidy defends the international title against Claudio and MJF will have that tag match against
Bullet Club Gold. We'll see who he picks as his partners. I'm thinking
Samoa Joe has to be one of them. Now, if you had Joe
on the show, then I'd volunteering to be his friend. So Joe probably
will be one. He shot down the Acclaimed and he shot down Roddy in
the Kingdom. So is it going to be a situation where the way things
end up with Omega on Saturday, it ends with a handshake. Maybe when
all is said and done between them, and maybe Omega agrees to be a
partner of his on Wednesday, maybe it's Omega and Joe MJF. Then I
guess there would have to be one other person. I don't know. We'll
see, but I'm thinking Joe will be one of his partners. Well,
let's take a look at the poll here and see what you guys thought of
the show tonight. Almost seventy five percent have given the show a thumbs up.
Twenty five percent of you have given Dynamite a thumbs down. That is
a win for Dynamite this week. I'm pretty sure that's a lot better than
what they did last week in the poll. But again, you can go
vote at Solo Monster on Twitter, if you would like to chime in,
let me know what you thought. I enjoyed the show tonight. I enjoyed
Dynamite. But again, you know, to go back to what I said
at the beginning, to watch NXT Halloween Havoc last night and all those women's
matches, including the main event, which was very good between Becky Lynch and
Lyra of Valkyria, and then to watch this match, the one women's match
they had on the show tonight. This was not the week for those two
to go out and have the kind of match that they had, because if
you compare the two, you know, back to back nights like this,
you look at that women's division in NXT and I got to say, you
know, look, I don't keep up with Impact the way that I used
to. I know, they have a lot of very talented women, and
the knockouts division has always been one of their strong points. I assume that
hasn't changed. Now they have you know, Mickey James and Deanna Barrazzo,
and they have Trinity and Jordan Grace and so they have a strong women's division.
And we know that AW has a lot of very talented women as well.
But you look at that NXT women's division. And I would put the
NXT Women's Division up against any division in any promotion in this country or anywhere
in North America, including aw aw Is you know down here, NXT right
now is up there. As far as what Shawn Michaels is doing with that
women's division, he's doing a very a very noticeably good job because some of
those women haven't really been doing this for very long. And you see the
progress they've made in a short period of time, and whether it's a Tiffany
Stratton or you know, even some of the women that they have in this
breakout to him, you know Kelanie Jordan. I mean, some of them
are are impressive, and you can see they're still very green, but the
potential is there. And then look at the way the show ended last night,
you know, with Becky putting over Lyra Valkyria clean in the middle of
the ring and Jade Cargill is up there sitting on a big throne. What's
she gonna do? Sewn Michaels is, let me tell you, man,
he's putting the pieces together with what he has been given in that women's division
right now in NX stage. So maybe Tony kankn learn something I don't know.
Let's take a look at your super chats here see what you guys thought
of the show tonight. I do appreciate the support as always Groovy Goose,
our boy Groove. Always love to hear from Groovy Goose, says Bro with
TNA back, will we see Russo return? Bro? No, no,
Bro, no Russo. I'd like to think that Scott the Moore is not
that stupid. Scott the Moore seems like a pretty smart guy, pretty savvy
guy. I would like to think he's not that dumb Bobert reviews. In
a couple of hours, it will be my birthday. Can I get a
birthday shout out? I don't know? Should I? What do you guys
think? I give my a birthday shout out now? Paul Knomius Bobert,
Happy birthday, Bobert. I hope you have a fantastic birthday. I hope
you had a better day than I had. Paul Carpenter with the Five Bucks
been waiting for Stinging Edge face to face for a long time and it was
great. Rest in peace to victor of the the active shooter that just happened
in the main in Maine. I don't know what that means, but yeah,
I agreeing Sting in the Copeland. It's it's cool to see them interacting
together on TV. I don't think they're they're going to be wrestling each other
at any point, but Noel Mulligan with the ten dollars super chest, high
sol a monster. Who was the craziest wrestler you ever met? For me,
it was the Sandman. He was way past drunk when I met him
in Killarney. He was with Chris Masters, Gangrel and Eugen Oh my god,
the craziest wrestler that I ever met. I've met a lot of wrestlers
over the years. I don't remember them being particularly crazy, at least not
when they were around me. Crazy is wrestler that I ever met. I
never met the Sandman. I never met any of those old ECW guys outside
of RVD. I met briefly. I would call him crazy, though,
I don't know. I don't think I've ever met any of the crazier wrestlers
that are out there. I mean, I met Sid many years ago,
but he was pretty, he was pretty well behaved, he was on his
best behavior. Asked me if I wanted to pitch in and play a softball
game with him. I said, I was busy. Maybe next time.
Jacob Donnelly with the fifteen Bucks. Tony Kahn celebrating the return of TNA by
putting Christian Sting and Rick Flair all in the same segment. You know what,
the only thing that was missing was Jay Lethal coming out to do a
woo off with Rick Flair, and you know Lethal was back there, So
the only thing missing was black machismo from that set. Nick Grosso with a
nineteen ninety nine Just throw this out there, and it's probably far fetched,
but what if the Devil is Sammy Callahan. He has history with MJF and
he prides himself on being the real villain of wrestling. There's no bigger villain
than the Devil. Here's the thing about the Devil mask person. It could
literally be anybody, because whoever is in the mask itself right now is completely
irrelevant. Right if I was an intern, or I was a production assistant
working backstage in aaw they could put the mask on me and put me on
TV. So I don't know if Tony Kahan has a firm person in mind,
or if he's still contemplating who he wants it to be. I'm not
sure how hastily the storyline was put together in light of Adam Cole's injury.
Would we be getting the Devil in the Mask if it were not for Adam
Cole getting hurt? Would we even be getting this storyline? I don't know.
Sammy Callahan is a possibility, because we know he was backstage at Collision
last weekend. He was there. He's you know, possibly being you know,
considered for a spot on the roster, maybe a spot behind the scenes.
John Moxley's been pitching for him. He's good friends with him as well.
If they were to bring Callahan in and the person in the devil mask
was on the shorter side, it's not like a big, tall person.
Sure, you know, if they wanted it to be Sammy Callahan, would
be very easy to just put him under the mask. But I don't know
who it's gonna end up being. I was figuring Roddy. I still kind
of think it may end up being Roddy, But I don't know. You
know, obviously tonight we saw Roddy get wheeled away by MJF backstage in that
opening segment, and then they, you know, a minute later cut to
the devil in the mask. So maybe it's not him. I don't know,
but it's a good story because it keeps people thinking and they're gonna be
wondering, Okay, who is it? Who's gonna be the big repeals like
who ran down Stone Cold? You know, when they do these mystery it's
a good hook. I just hope that they have a good payoff because we've
had angles like this that have had terrible payoffs. Uh, Faola Drums with
the five Bucks tonight was my first aw show, also my first super chat
on this channel. Well welcome, Faola Drums. I am very happy to
have you both. Dynamite and Rampage were great. Looking forward to Crown Jewel
hashtag Yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well. I like these pay
per views that are in the middle of the day. I think it actually
makes my life a lot easier. So we'll have Crown Jewel coming up in
a couple of weeks. Hopefully we'll have you back for that as well.
I am Batman Siam. Five Bucks was at Dynamite tonight. The main event
was really good. The crowd loved Brian and Okata hashtag solo monster, hashtag
Halloween ps keep up phenomenal work. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try.
How close are we to four hundred? By the way, are we at
four hundred yet? Come on? We got to get to four hundred?
Man? It let me down here. What we We're eleven away? We
should be there already. Arabian nine, two thousand. What do you think
will Osprey? Who do you think Will Osprey signs with in twenty twenty four?
I think AW was the best spot for him in his style. There's
more top talent, plus he could still work New Japan. I up to
now was thinking he would stay with New Japan, and if he did not
stay with New Japan, if he was more open to maybe moving to the
United States, which he was not before. Now he is. That changes
things. There's a lot of people he could work with in w das He's
obviously interacted with Seth Rollins before, and there's many other people he could work
with there as well. I think he either stays with New Japan and then
keeps splitting his time between New Japan and AAW, or he signs with AW
and he can still do New Japan and I think that would work out well
for him. But now that he has picked up Barry Bloom as his agent,
and that the agent of the Barry Bloom is like the Scott Boris of
wrestling agents, to use the baseball analogy, So he's looking for a payday.
You know, he wants to make money. Nothing wrong with that.
WWE they can afford to pay him, but so can Tony Kahan. So
I hope whatever deal he gets, he gets the best possible deal he can
because right now, pound for pound, bell to bell in the ring,
the best wrestler in the world is will Ospring, and the best wrestler in
the world should command best wrestler in the world money. So hopefully he'll get
that bag because he deserves HBKC eighty three. Who would you like to face
Sting? A? J. Navy? Thank you for the sub I think
that a Sting Darby Allen match against Edge and Christian if he was either a
heel or if Christian and Copeland, if Christian was a baby face. I
don't want to see Christian as a babyface yet, but if the alignment was
a little bit different. I liked the Marquis value of doing Edge and Christian
against Sting and Darby and maybe we'll get it. You know, Revolution still
many months away. It's not looking good, but it's gonna be stinging.
A tag match, that's the match I would like to see, Samoan fan.
Rvd's appearance at Wrestlemandia forty got pulled. I wonder why so what RVD
said he did. I don't know if it was on his podcast or you
know, he did an interview. He mentioned the fact that he was supposed
to do something for WrestleMania next year and it got pulled. And I think
he said it was immediately after that that he got a phone call from AAW
and the opportunity came up for him to do something with AW. So that
made it sound to me like one didn't have anything to do with the other.
It didn't sound like, oh, you know, he started working for
AW and so WWE maliciously decided to pull in. If the timeline is correct,
could have just been happenstances, and I don't know what they would have
had him plan to do, just because they're in Philadelphia. So there may
be some ECW influenza WrestleMania next year. It could be a very ECW centric
fall of fame induction. I mean, I don't know, so I don't
know if they had him plan for something other than a match, or they
had him planned for a match. But according to RVD, he got pulled
from whatever their planting and with him making regular appearances. Now for AW,
I'm sure that would have been it probably would have been dropped no matter what
so, but that's according to RBD. Anyway, Samoan Fan says Solo has
left plenty of women at Applebee's two two two women at Applebee's Silver Tower.
Thank you for that forty six, Simo and Fan. Actually, you know
what Silver Tower. It's been a while, and uh, I gotta give
Silver Tower the special treatment here too sweet to be sour. It's Silver Tower,
Silver Tower, right there, man, that's be your brother, Simo
and Fan. Didn't you meet the Ultimate Warrior? Wasn't he? Of course?
Thank you? Thank you? How could I forget? You're right?
You're right? How could I forget that? Yeah? You know what,
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you why I didn't register with my brain
when I met the Warrior. And some of you know this story. Some
of you know when I met the Warrior. It was not a wrestling appearance.
I met the Warrior. I was still in college, and the Warrior
was brought in by one of the I don't know who he was brought in
by. I think he was brought in by the I don't know, the
Young Republicans maybe or something. I didn't give it shit have been any of
that. I just heard the Ultimate Warrior was coming. I said, I
gotta see this, right. This was two thousand What year was this two
thousand and four? Maybe I think I was a senior. Anyway, I
go to this event and the Warrior is in a suit and tie. Obviously
he's not wearing any makeup because that would be fucking weird. And he's got
the shoulder length long like dude's gray at this point, kind of black and
gray hair. And he's talking about philosophy, and he's talking about the great
books of the Western World. And he asked the audience a question, how
many of you have read the great Books of the Western World? And nobody
raised their hand, and so he flipped out and he started going off about
how yeah, the students today, kids today, they don't read the great
books of the Western World. And I'm like, dude, if I had
popcorn, I'd be sitting there, man, I'd be having the time of
my life. So anyway, he talks about whatever he talks about. We
get to the end of the event and you can go up to meet him
and take pictures. And then they're also setting up a microphone in each aisle
and so students can come up to the mic and they can ask questions to
the Warrior. So I did go up at the very end. I'm skipping
ahead, but I did go up to him at the very end, and
I shook his hand and I got a picture with him, and he had
a big cheesy smile on his face. He looked like he was trying to
sell me a used car. I've posted the picture online before me and the
Warrior. But the best part of the event. And so, to go
back to the other super chat, this was actually just he went fucking crazy
here. Some of the questions that some of the students were asking him were
really getting under his skin. Now, if you've ever seen the famous or
infamous YouTube video of the Ultimate Warrior at Yukon, this was not quite at
that level of crazy. It didn't get quite that crazy, but it was
kind of like that one guy asked him about him doing steroids. He threatened
to take the guy and put him through a table. And he wasn't trying
to be funny. It was. It was pretty crazy. It was one
of those things where I was looking around to like see other people's reactions,
especially people who maybe didn't know that this guy used to be a wrestler,
and it was. It was a little tense in the room that day.
But he was nice to me when I went up there to meet him.
Like I said, big smile on his face. Maybe I'll post a picture
again if people want to see it, but yes, that would qualify as
the craziest wrestler that I have ever met. Warrior was out of his fucking
mind. He was out of his mind that he was not a very nice
person to me. He was nice to other people, not so I'll never
forget the Undertaker telling the story of the kid that he just completely went off
on to the point where the Undertaker had to go to him and go like,
dude, you can't act like that towards little kids. And I don't
remember if that was the kid that Vince McMahon made him record that video apology
for if you remember his A and E biography, they actually had the video
in there A J. Soder twenty one Thank you for the subject. Yeah,
there was there was a kid that he had. He had to record
an apology video to him, and they would like retake after retake and you
can hear Vince in the background and he's it's like, I don't know what
the fuck I'm supposed to do, and Vince is like, it's a work.
We're working here. We're just working. Because the kid's father was some
big wig from one of their sponsors, and so Warrior was not a good
person. He was not a good person. Sean Dee is wwe close to
done with this Saudi deal? No, it was a ten year deal and
their first Saudi show was in April of twenty eighteen, to they're halfway through.
If they have another five years left to go. Joseph Brooks cherish,
keep borrow and sell on your favorite wrestling things Brett Hart favorite wrestler nineteen ninety
two, Royal Rumble, favorite match, Demolition, favorite tag team, and
King of the Ring ninety three, favorite pay per view. Okay, so
this is kind of an odd question, but I'll take a stab at it
here, cherish Brett, because you know he's one of the goats. I'm
gonna keep the ninety two rumble. I'm going to borrow the ninety three King
of the Ring and I'm sorry, i gotta sell accent smash. I'm sorry,
guys. I still say it is a sin that unfortunately, they will
probably be dead before they are inducted into the Hall of Fame. But then
again, Vince McMahon is no longer in real control of those types of decisions.
So if Triple H is a real student of the game, I would
like to see Triple H and Dug Demolition into the Hall of Fame next year.
So that is what I would like to see Triple H do. He
now has the power, him and Nick conn and then they have the power
to make that decision. ABK again, man, holy shit, he says,
need to see the new super Chow. Well, you saw it twice.
Hopefully we'll see more of it the future. But uh man, wow,
ABK, thank you brother again. I hope you're doing well. Very
very kind to you. Uh yeah, Nick, Okay, So that's what
it was, Brett, Yeah, Brett Hart. Also, Brett Hart said
that he saw the Warrior blow off a make a wish kid once at an
airport or something. I mean, look, I mean just that alone.
If you're cranky and people are annoying you and coming up to you, but
you just hear story after story, like even undertakers, like this kid didn't
really do anything wrong with you. It's not even to say like, oh
no, leave me alone, Like he's like really saying some horrible shit,
and I'm like to a kid, like what's wrong with you? You know,
there does come a point where you understand that you are in the spotlight.
You are a celebrity. You are looked up to, like a comic
book hero come to life. A little kid comes up to you in the
airport or something. If you don't want to sign an autograph, all right,
But there are ways to let the kid down without apparently healing on him
and going off on him like that. So there's tons of stories like that's
just who he was. He's not a person. He was Lakers Pats Flare
against Sting Revolution the final chapter, No Lakers Pats, come on, man,
don't plant that scene. What are you giving him ideas? Did you
see Flair's last match last year I'm how he didn't die during that match.
I'll never know. He literally passed out during the match. He has no
memory of it. Don't give them ideas bony better match money in the bank
or King of the Ring. King of the Ring is not a match though
it's a gimmick. The better match type is money in the bank. King
of the Ring is just a regular tournament with a crown Arabian knight. Who
has the better men's and women's division WWE or ae W. Would you say
AW has the deeper men's division and WWE has the better women's division? Well
again, you say better women's division? Are you talking about better caliber of
talent? Are you talking about better usage of the women? Because WWE wins
in a landslide. Whether you're a fan of the women's divisions or women's wrestling
in general or not, you can't deny the fact that WWE, as far
as exposure, and WWE is also guilty of, you know, booking malpractice
when it comes to the women on the main roster in a lot of cases.
But as far as exposure that they give to the women and the number
of women's matches and NXT alone, WWE wins easily as far as the men.
As far as who has a deeper bench, I would go AW not
to say that WWI doesn't have a lot of talent and male talents on their
roster, but AW almost has too many of them to the point where they
don't know how to properly utilize all of them. But I think it's fair
to say that they they have a deeper, deeper division. Devin from NJ
Will Solomazer ever hug Charles Mason like Tony Kahan. Fuck Charles Mason. His
day is coming. Mark my words and nord advice on heartbreak cannot move on?
Well you must. My advice to you, I could give you some
lame advice to say there's more fish in the sea right that's you could hear
that from anybody. My advice to you is this, I don't know your
situation. I don't know what led to this particular heartbreak. I don't know
the circumstances around It doesn't matter, but obviously your heart has been broken.
My advice to you is this sitting and dwelling on it will do you no
good. All it will do is it will drive you deeper and deeper and
deeper into the hole into Naiasole and you don't want to beat there. So
it's easy for me to sit here and say get over it. I'd be
lying if I told you that you're gonna be able to get over it just
like that. That's not how it works. It takes time. You got
to work through it. It sucks, it painful, but you will get
over it. And guess what, you will find somebody much better. You
will find somebody much better. You will look back on this one day and
say, poin, did I dodge your bullet? Right? That next girl
you find, you're gonna take her to Applebee's and you're gonna live happily ever
after. I believe that. I believe that. Seriously. It's hard,
but everybody goes through it. You're gonna be just fun. You're gonna be
just fun. The Nord hang in there, brother Will Chisholm, Hey will
thank you for the twenty bucks. There's creepy, Jeff Hardy, pretty creepy.
I think Tony Storm is great. So if she is going for Seta's
title, but she has to win, right, the bad thing is Sheidah
is going to lose a title less than a month. Again, it's feeling
like how WWE books Oscar. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that Tony
is winning the belt. If it were me, I like Tony Storm.
I like this new character. If it were me, I would be very
tempted to put the belt back on her. But I'll tell you what,
Jamie Hayter is probably not that far off from coming back, and I personally
would really like to see Sheida and Hater go at it again or the championship.
Not to say you can't do Tony Storm and JB. Hater. They
had a hell of a match too the last time we saw them in the
ring together. I would kind of like to see Sheeta hold on long enough.
If let's say Hayter is gonna be back around Revolution time, which she
might be, and then we get Hater and Shidah maybe at Revolution and she
loses it there and Hater gets the belt back. Tony Storm is gonna be
okay even if she doesn't win the belt because she has this new she has
this new gimmick, right, so she has something going on. So it's
tough. I agree with you, it would be it would be you know,
terrible to take the belt right off Sheeta again after they just did that.
But I'm digging Tony Storm, so I don't know honestly, either way
is fine with me. And this was better help featuring the love solomons and
do what I can. I'm here to help. But you know everything I
said there was correct, right, This too shall pass. Everybody goes through
it at some point, some sort of heartbreak, whether it's a relationship,
whether you know it's the passing of someone close to you, and it sucks,
and you can say all the things you want to try to make the
person feel better, and you can all the platitudes, everything that you can
do. Sometimes the best thing to do is to just leave the person alone
and let them grieve and let them work through it. Let them know you're
here for them. Let them know, hey, brother, you want to
pick up the phone, you want to go do something, anytime, you
just let me know. But everybody's got to work through these things on their
own, and as time passes. With the passage of time, things do
improve, they do get better. So Nord is going to be just fine.
Man. Nord's a trooper. He's only got the second best VPA.
The Nord is a trooper. I'm an Express VPN guy myself. The goal
tonight was four hundred likes, and we're well past that, so we bleue
past that. I thank you for that. Likes do help a lot,
as do by the way, the Spotify comments. I want to thank everybody

always very helpful to the show. So I want to thank everybody who did
that this week. But let's go ahead and be the booker, ladies or
gentlemen. It is now time to be the booker. Proto man says I
got Nord, Well you got the wrong one, my friend. You guys
start using express me. Yeah, you got to take a look at the
description down below. I'll get you a good deal. Give him a chance.
I think you'll like it. All Right, here we go be the
booker. Time, you guys earned it. Let's get into it. Here.
Stinger looks happy. You know now, I think there's going to be
a clamoring for a full sound off episode of nothing but Just Relationship advice and
relationship stories. Maybe we start taking phone calls again. Would people dig that?
By the way, would people actually tune in for that? Because we
could expand our horizons here on the channel, we could expand the content and
that would be very interesting. All right, here we go, be the
booker. We begin with Ministry Undertaker from the Ministry of Darkness. The worst
version of the Undertaker is that a hot take? Would that be considered a
hot take? I don't think it's a hot take. Ministry Undertaker got to
go one on one with JBL. John Bradshaw Layfield. I don't like Ministry
Undertaker. Ministry Undertaker and JBL does nothing for me. Nothing. There you
go. That'll piss some people off, but I don't care. So here
we go. Women's be the booker. We have Willow. Oh wait,
that's not Willow. That's sensational Sherry. I could have sworn that was Willow.
Tell me that doesn't look like Willow. Sensational Sherry. Love Sherry as
great as she was, I still think she's an underrated. Sherry is gonna
go one on one with what would you look at that Medusa? A lund
of blades and Sherry. That's old school right there. That's a great match.
They'll show these ladies how it's done. Sherry and Medusa. I'm pretty
sure we got in WCW, didn't We vaguely remember them having at least one
match on Nitro and now Tag Team be the booker. Wrap this up here
with a nice big bow, and we begin with Pretty Deadly, the former
NXT Tag Team Champions, all healed up. Very happy to see him back
in action here, Elton Prince, all recovered from his physical ailments. Pretty
Deadly, Yeah, gonna be taken on Ryan Danielson and Jean Moxley, the
Blackpool Combat Club against Pretty Deadly. It gets the bell from me. Two
out of three, ain't bad. Leave it to Undertaker and JBL to screw
screw the whole thing up. Should have been three for three? Are people?
Are people bitter about that? Are people bitter about that? Ministry Undertaker
against JBL? Why people actually want to see that match? All right?
We got SmackDown coming up on Friday Night. We got the contract signing Roman
Raids in l a Night, are gonna sign the contract for their match in
Saudi Arabi a Crown Jewel. So that is coming up on front Day night.
I will be here with you live on Friday. I will let you
know I'm gonna have to consider possibly going live now on Saturday night for this
big MJF Kenny Omega Mash. We'll see, we'll see. Of course,
we have the podcast on Sunday, so either way, I got you covered.
