WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:05.240 We should lowered the SoundOff flag here at half mass because on a day where 2 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.880 Daryl Hall and John Oates have gone to war, and if I can't even 3 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.519 say they've gone to war, Daryl Hall has taken out a restraining order on 4 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.600 John Oates. We don't have much more in the way of information about this. 5 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.359 I cannot tell you how devastating this is to be. This has single 6 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:28.719 handedly ruined my Thanksgiving. When I read that news earlier, I was just 7 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:33.000 devastating. Hopefully they can work things out, Hopefully they can get back on 8 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.920 the same page here. Man. I grew up listening to Hall and Oates. 9 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.479 They're my favorite duo of all time. I don't want to hear that 10 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:44.000 they have problems. I need them to be together. I went to go 11 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.759 in Madison Square Garden to see them a few years ago. Come on, 12 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:57.320 man, Thanksgiving well tonight we had the start of the Continental Classic here on 13 00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.479 aw Dunham. This is of course Tony Kaanzan to the g One Climax, 14 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.840 and we now know the names of the twelve men who are in the tournament. 15 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.480 They are divided into two groups. We have the Blue Group, not 16 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.959 Blue Man Group. We have the Blue Group and the Gold group, and 17 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.439 tonight it was all about the Gold group. But let's start with the Blue 18 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.640 group because in the Blue group we have the reigning Ring of Honor and new 19 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.439 Japan Strong open Weight Champion Eddie Kingston. Why is it important to point out 20 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.719 that Eddie Kingston is in this tournament because at full gear, Eddie Kingston said 21 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.400 that he would be taking his Ring of Honor World Heavyweight title and his new 22 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.959 Japan Strong open Weight title and defending them both in the tournament. And the 23 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.120 way that he described it is he said he would defend it in every match 24 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.760 that he would have in this tournament. Now, it's round robin style, 25 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:56.879 so depending on what block you're in or you know, group, you will 26 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.959 wrestle every single person in your group one time. There's gonna be a lot 27 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.120 of matches in this tournament. Now. Tony Khank kind of walked that back 28 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.840 a little bit earlier on they had a little show on YouTube. Him and 29 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.919 Tony Shavani were sitting at the table. They had the new Japan Strong open 30 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.599 Weight title, they had the Ring of Honor World title, and they had 31 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.439 the brand new continental title which was covered and they never did show us what 32 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.319 the new belt looks like, I guess they're holding off. They're gonna show 33 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.319 us at some point on the television. But Tony Khank clarified because it was 34 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.000 very confusing, like is he defending the championships in every single match? And 35 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.439 so what happens if Eddie Kingston loses in his very first match. Let's say 36 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.639 to you know, Brody King, does that make Brody King the new Ring 37 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.879 of Honor World Champion, a new japan Strong open weight champion, and you 38 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.000 just play hot potato with the belts the entire tournament. So Tony Khan clarified 39 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:54.080 earlier today he said that Kingston's titles will not be on the line in every 40 00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.080 single match. So I guess if Kingston doesn't advance to the finals, then 41 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.240 I presume his two championships would be held up, they would be vacated, 42 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.759 and then in the finals of the tournament, it would go to the winner 43 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:14.400 along with the new continental title. And the way that they described it, 44 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:20.599 so basically it would be one unified title represented by three championship belts. So 45 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.520 you'll have three belts, but they will represent one champion and that will be 46 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.479 the Continental Champion's that's my understanding of how this is going to work or a 47 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:35.759 modern American triple Crown winner is the way they described it on television as Tony 48 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.919 Kahan loves his you know, Japanese wrestling, in Japanese wrestling history, and 49 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.120 they did this in all Japan many years ago, the triple crown, so 50 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:49.360 he wants to do a triple crown here in aw. Still not clear to 51 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.479 me what that means for the future of the Ring of Honor World title as 52 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.159 far as the ROH title lineage, As far as you know, is the 53 00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.800 new Continental Champion going to be the de facto top champion on Ring of Honor? 54 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.199 I mean, is that what that means? We don't know. We 55 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.560 haven't gotten total clarity on that. It would strike me that that would be 56 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.400 the case, but we don't know. This all feels very unnecessary to me. 57 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.279 When I talked about the Continental Classic previously, I said, this is 58 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.279 before they announced what was going to be online, and I said, what 59 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:23.319 would make the most sense in this tournament is to have the winner. Now. 60 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.319 You want to give them a plaque, you want to give them a 61 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.720 trophy, you want to give them a customary title belt like they did for 62 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.920 the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. That's fine, but the winner of this tournament 63 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:39.560 should be in line for a shot at the AW World Heavyweight Championship, because 64 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.600 Tony Khan even said when the announcement was first made and Brian Danielson pirate Pirate 65 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.759 Danielson with his iPad was standing right next to him, I guess it was 66 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.199 a bandage, not an eyepatch. But he said, twelve of the top 67 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.240 names in AW would be in this tournament, and so they should be fighting 68 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.399 for a shot at the world championship, and that would have made a hell 69 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.240 of a lot easier. So instead they took this in a totally different direction. 70 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.120 And there are certain things in certain aspects here that are still not entirely 71 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.199 clear to me, so we'll have to wait and see what they now. 72 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.920 So I think that would have been the right way to go. Eddie Kingston, 73 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.319 though, is in the blue group. Here's who else is in the 74 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:23.120 blue group. Brian Danielson is in the blue group andrede Ledlo Claudio Castignoli, 75 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.639 so two members of the Blackpool Combat Club are in the same group. Daniel 76 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:34.800 Garcia is in there as well, and Brody King representing the House of Black. 77 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:41.480 So we have House of Black and Blackpool Combat Club representation in the Blue 78 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.639 group. So we know Daniel Garcia is going to be wrestling both Brian Danielson 79 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.519 and Claudio in this group, and so it makes me wonder given the story 80 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.399 they started to tell with him, it looks like, Okay, maybe he's 81 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.839 going to break away again from the sports entertainment stuff. He's going to embrace 82 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.879 his inner pro wrest Is this gonna end with him possibly joining the Blackpool Combat 83 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.199 Club? You know, when he wrestles Claudia, for example, is there 84 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.800 gonna be a mutual respect there when that's over? Could that be his story 85 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.040 arc coming out of this tournament where he doesn't win, but it's finally what 86 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.360 allows him to break away from what he's been doing, and maybe he ends 87 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:25.759 up joining the BCC. I could see that happen. That's the Blue group. 88 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.079 Now let's talk about the Gold group. The Gold group in this tournament, 89 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.439 Mark Brisco, John Moxley, Jay Lethal Rusche, Switchblade, J White, 90 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:43.160 and Swerve strickly conspicuous by their absence from this list. No Kenny Omega 91 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.120 in this tournament. No Kenoski Takeshta in this In fact, no member of 92 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:54.120 the Don kallis family at all in this tournament. No Malachi Black, which 93 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.279 was surprising that he wouldn't be one of the twelve names in this tournament. 94 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:04.079 Andrade is in there, but Malachi Black is not because Malachi and Andrade have 95 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:11.000 had issues before. But it's almost as if the Black Mass to Brian Danielson 96 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.800 has been completely forgotten about. It would have made a lot of sense for 97 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.720 him to be in the same block, or at least be in the tournament 98 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.920 and maybe build to Brian Danigelson and Malachi Black, whether it's the finals, 99 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.639 whether it's just a match in their block, and Malachi is not even part 100 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.480 of the group. What that tells me the fact they put brody King in 101 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.240 there and non Malachi, is that they might want brody King to eat a 102 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.160 lot of pins and so brody King is going to be taking a lot of 103 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.560 losses in this tournament. They might be doing that to protect Malachi and say, 104 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.199 Okay, we don't want to beat him all these different times, or 105 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.360 if he's not going to win the tournament, we don't want him to be 106 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.319 in there, and so we'll put brody King in there instead. It's disappointing 107 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.120 now some of the names that are missing. And I know, you know, 108 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.399 Mega is going to be wrestling for the tag team title soon and you 109 00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.079 can explain that one away. But there are other names that should have been 110 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.360 in this tournament that are not. But I don't hate the lineup because if 111 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.920 you look at the lineup, if you look at the names that are in 112 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.319 this tournament, it's a stacked lineup. I mean, it is a loaded 113 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.600 lineup of talent in this tournament, even with the names that are missing from 114 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.160 there. Now, by my count, as I look at these lists and 115 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.920 I'm counting them out here, I would say half the field, right, 116 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.680 you got twelve guys in this tournament. I would say, realistically, you're 117 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.720 looking at about half the field as realistic potential winners of this tournament, realistic 118 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.639 Triple Crown champions at the end of this tournament, and you go down this 119 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.759 list again. Brian Danielson. Brian Danielson was the first name announced. Brian 120 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.799 Danielson is arguably the biggest name in the entire tournament. You would think, 121 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.320 well, it's his for the taking. Not so fast. I don't necessarily 122 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.759 think he's the favorite to win. He's one of the favorites, but not 123 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.039 necessarily my pick who I think is going to win the entire thing. But 124 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.799 he's got to be on the list, right, So you put Brian Danielson 125 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.759 on there, Andrade. I don't see Andrade winning this tournament, so you 126 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.960 cross him off. Claudia's not winning. Daniel Garcia is an interesting one. 127 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.799 Daniel Garcia, like I said, there could be a whole other story here 128 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.440 where maybe you know him potentially joining the Blackpool Combat Club or at least breaking 129 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.840 away from Parker and Minard. But Daniel Garcia is someone who they had started 130 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.200 pushing in that direction well over a year ago when it looked like he was 131 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.600 going to leave the Jericho Appreciation Society, and it turned out to be a 132 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.840 big swerve and he just went right back to doing what he was doing. 133 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.480 But up until that point he was starting to build a little bit of momentum. 134 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.279 Now where he would have gone, I don't know. I don't know 135 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.279 how far he would have gotten if he would have broken away. Then as 136 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.960 a babyface, he would not be the AW World Champion. But where would 137 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.000 he be in the pecking order of AAW Would he be in a worse position, 138 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.480 would he be in a better position? Possible he would be in a 139 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.360 worse PASI issue. They have a lot of talent in case you couldn't tell, 140 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.279 they have a surplus of talent and top names in this company. Dangle 141 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.799 Garcia, talented as he is, is not a top name. Could this 142 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.559 be a way to get him there? Could this be a way where he 143 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.159 pulls out the win. He's the dark horse, he pulls out the win 144 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.279 at the end, and they use this tournament as a way to rehab him 145 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.320 and try to elevate him to that next level. Yes, that is possible, 146 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.399 So I would actually, i'd probably was stick him on the list of 147 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.840 potential winners. I would include him on that list. Brody King is not 148 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.120 winning this tournament, you get into the gold group. Mark Briscoe is not 149 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:45.360 winning this tournament. Jay Lethal Jay Leitho was not winning this tournament. Jay 150 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.200 Leitho is not winning shit in aw That much is clear just based on his 151 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.039 booking. So Jay Lethal's not winning. John Moxley has to be on the 152 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.639 list. Danilson's on that list, so is John Moxley. John Moxley could 153 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.960 win the entire thing. Rushe not winning this tournament? Jay White? Possibly, 154 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.279 Yes, I would put j White on that list as well. And 155 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.759 then we get to Swerve Strickland. Swerve Strickland, who pulled out a win 156 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.200 in the most violent match in AW history, one of the most violent fucking 157 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.879 matches that I've seen in my entire life at Full Gear. That was a 158 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.919 sick, violent, disturbing match that we had on that pay per view the 159 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.440 other night, and he pulled out the win two in a row. Now 160 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.759 that's back to back pay per view wins over Hangman Page, a former AAW 161 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.840 world champion. What did I say coming out of that match when he picked 162 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:37.320 up that win at Full Gear? And I made the comment, I said, 163 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.519 the two most important words when it comes to Swerve Strickland, more important 164 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.440 even than the win that he got over the weekend. What next? What 165 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.240 next? Where do you go from here? Because it's kind of like Austin 166 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.399 Theory pinning John Cenair WrestleMania. That sounds great, right, he pins the 167 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.960 greatest of all time, as they love to call him, a former sixteen 168 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.200 time world champion. What next? We saw what was next for Austin Theory? 169 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.480 The answer was not much. So the key is always in the follow 170 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.159 up. It's nice that they put him over to in a row. I'm 171 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.840 impressed that Tony Kahan had the guts to do that, But now, what 172 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.240 are you going to do with him? What is the plan? Because MJF. 173 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.360 He's got Samoa Joe, he's got Wardlow breathing down his neck, the 174 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.440 Devil, He's got all kinds of people gunning for him. Right, He's 175 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.120 already got his next probably three to six months worth of feuds all mapped out. 176 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.559 It would seem like to me, maybe not six, but you know, 177 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.200 he's all accounted for right now as far as what he's doing. So 178 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:46.759 what are you going to do with Swerve? Strictly he has to rock it 179 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.679 to the top of the list of favorites to win this tournament. You have 180 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.320 to build on that momentum. You have to piggyback on that momentum in some 181 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.840 way. If he's in the tournament, he has to at least go to 182 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.600 the finals. He has to rack up enough points go to World's End, 183 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.159 and even if he doesn't win, he should be in the finals. But 184 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.399 I would also say this, I would say there's an argument against him winning 185 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.320 because when I talk about would Swerve and I say what's next? What's next 186 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.559 for him? Right? Honestly, they should be building him for the AW 187 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.799 World Heavyweight title, and it's not gonna be at world's end. It could 188 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.320 be at revolution, if not revolution, maybe by double nothing. But he 189 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.559 needs to be in that mix. You need to get him there. If 190 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.679 he wins this tournament, he becomes the Triple Crown winner, right, whatever 191 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.399 the hell that means. Say he wins the Ring of Honor World title, 192 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.320 Whoop dee, do he wins the new japan Strong open weight title. Whoop 193 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.320 dee? Do he wins the continental title? Who cares? Now he's got 194 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.240 the Triple Crown. If anything, that takes him away from challenging for the 195 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.559 AW World title. I would much rather be preparing him for that than have 196 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.120 him run around the world in different promotions defending this title, because this is 197 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.240 the best that you have for So there's an argument on both sides to be 198 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.440 made that if he wins, it actually works against him. It's like a 199 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.559 consolation prize, and he's better than that. So if he's not in their 200 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.919 world title plans anytime in the near future, then fine, there's no harm 201 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.840 in having him win the Triple Crown. He can add that to his resume. 202 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.000 But I really think that there should be very serious consideration to him being 203 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.159 in the mix in the early part of twenty twenty four. This man is 204 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.840 a future AEW world champion in this company. Moxley and Eddie Kingston is another 205 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.919 one that I wrote down here as far as potential finals in this tournament. 206 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.120 If Eddie Kingston is putting both of his belts on the line, you're pretty 207 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.600 lame if he didn't make it to the finals. I don't see Eddie winning 208 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.559 the entire thing, so I think he's losing those belts no matter what. 209 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.360 But him and John Moxley have history together. He and John Moxley are you 210 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.799 know, they're good friends. And for a while there you remember Eddie was 211 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.879 trying to talk Moxley out of you withdrawing and bowing out of the Blackpool Combat 212 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.320 Club and no longer associating himself with Claudia, And that storyline is pretty much 213 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.799 got dropped. It's on the back burner. They could revisit that, right 214 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.240 you put Moxley and Kingston in the finals. The only thing I don't like 215 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.559 about that is I don't think Eddie is winning, which means Moxley is winning. 216 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.639 And honestly, I don't want to see Moxley win. Why do we 217 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.840 need John Moxley to win the Continental Classic? But if you think about it, 218 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.519 one of the reasons that they're doing this they want a champion who can 219 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.720 defend in other promotions, who can go around the world, who could go 220 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.960 to Japan and defend this time. Eddie has been to Japan. Eddie Kingston 221 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.879 was in the g One this year. John Moxley is going to be at 222 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.279 the Tokyo Dome at Russell Kingdom. He's gonna be wrestling Will Ospray and David 223 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.919 Finley. John Moxley is all over the place, He's doing dependent shows, 224 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:08.559 He's everywhere. So a Moxley Kingston final is very possible because if you want 225 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:14.360 a traveling champion, well, these two guys right here are probably the closest 226 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:15.759 thing. I mean, these two guys right here are probably the ones who 227 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.840 are gonna give, you know, the best shot at going around and defending 228 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:25.440 this and other promotions. I just don't have the appetite to see John Moxley 229 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.720 go over and win the entire tournament because I just don't see what's gained by 230 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:34.480 doing that. I think Danielson against Swerve is the is the play for the 231 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.480 main event. I think that that's the answer. As far as the finals, 232 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.759 I wouldn't mind either one winning, but it should be Swerve if you're 233 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.720 gonna do Danielson and Swerve in the final, and we saw that match, 234 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.960 I believe on Dynamite a number of months ago. I think Danielson beat him, 235 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.799 but I think that's the finals. I would have Swerve going over, 236 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.840 especially if he's not gonna be in the mix for the world title in the 237 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.879 near term. But I think Tony Kahan may a big mistake tonight. We 238 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.880 had our first three matches in the tournament, and we'll go through what all 239 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.359 of them were as far as how they worked out. But we had Swerve 240 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:14.119 Strickland wrestling Jay Lethal, we had Jay White wrestling Rouche. And in the 241 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.759 main event on this show, we had John Moxley going one on one with 242 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.559 Mark Briscoe for the very first time, and he went the predictable route. 243 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.960 Tony Kahn went the safe route on this show. I just read you all 244 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.000 three matches. You could tell me right now, even if you didn't see 245 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.000 this show, who won all three matches, and you would be right. 246 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.240 And if you watch that main event. The people really wanted to see Mark 247 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.319 Briscoe go over and beat John Moxley in that match. That was the wrong 248 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.680 call to make, having Moxley beat Briscoe. I would have had Mark Briscoe 249 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.799 go over in that main event. It's not a single elimination tournament. Moxley 250 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.160 is safe. If Moxley doesn't win three points in the match tonight, it's 251 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.519 not like he can't rap up points and still get to the finals. If 252 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:02.119 that's where they want him to be. Of doing a round robin tournament instead 253 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.519 of single elimination, you know, one and done, that's not what this 254 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:10.240 is. Brisco should have gone over because that would have given this tournament a 255 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.279 little bit more of an air of unpredictability, like oh okay, they didn't 256 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:15.960 go with the safe bet in the main event. They actually went with the 257 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.839 other guy. All right, and it's night one, so it sets the 258 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.599 tone I think for the rest of the tournament. He had an opportunity to 259 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.119 do that in the main event on this show by giving us an upset win 260 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.279 on night one. He didn't do that. He played it safe. I 261 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:36.680 wouldn't have done that, but all three matches were good. Main event being 262 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.640 I think the best of the bunch, and I like Dynamite overall that it 263 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:45.640 was a solid effort coming out of full gear. Not like the best episode 264 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.359 of Dynamite of the year or anything like that, but I thought it was 265 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.359 a good show that has already set the main event for a world zen. 266 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.240 This is the second time in a row, at least a second maybe third 267 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.119 pay per view in a row where they have told, well in advance, 268 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.079 over a month in advance, what your main event is going to be, 269 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.079 which I like. I like that. I hope that becomes a pattern. 270 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.359 I hope we see more of that. And that main event was set tonight. 271 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.200 It's going to be MJF and Samoa Joe. There was a Tony Storm 272 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.079 segment that I love, Christian Cage promo. We'll talk about it all. 273 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:25.519 This is your aw Dynamite review for Thanksgiving Eve. It is November twenty second, 274 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.839 twenty and twenty three, and I also want to mention that today would 275 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:36.720 have been my mom's sixty fourth birthday, so I just wanted to say happy 276 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.640 birthday, Mom. All right, let's get into this because Dynamite open with 277 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:47.000 the first match, match number one in the Continental Classic, with two members 278 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.319 of the Gold League would Swerve Strickland against Jay Lethal. They had cans of 279 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.039 Rick Flair's Wo Energy on a desk in front of the announcers. I guess 280 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:03.720 tonight was the first official night of promoting his mushroom filled energy drink. Now 281 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.039 here are the rules. We gotta go over the rules here of the Continental 282 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.920 Classic. Every match has a twenty minute time limit. You get three points 283 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.119 for a win, you get one point for a draw. You get no 284 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.799 points if you lose. And here's the part about it that I like. 285 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:29.240 Everyone is banned from ringside, so there's no outside interference, there's no unnecessary 286 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:34.880 distractions. It's nice, right, kind of nice, especially when you see 287 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:40.240 j Lethal out there here in this opening match. We all know how his 288 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:45.720 matches usually go. Jay Lethal against Swerve, not even one week removed from 289 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:52.240 the most violent match in AEW history, and Swerve was already back in the 290 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.960 ring. Just had some tape, a little bit of tape on his right 291 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:57.119 shoulder. He may have had a black eye, I couldn't tell. I 292 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.039 didn't get a good look at his face, but his shoulder was taped up 293 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.839 and otherwise he was good to go. He was good to go now the 294 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:14.119 crowd reaction to Swerve, perhaps not unsurprising, was very interesting because he came 295 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:17.440 out, he got a big baby face reaction. And it tickles me when 296 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:22.400 I see that because it kind of reminds me of WrestleMania back in two thousand 297 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.559 and two when Hulk Hogan came back to the company. The nWo right joined 298 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:33.039 WWE, and we have Rock and Hogan and Rocken Hogan is set for WrestleMania 299 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.920 eighteen. Of what does Hulk Hogan try to do? He tries to murder 300 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.720 the Rock. They put the Rock in an ambulance. He gets in a 301 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:45.720 mack truck and he slams into the ambulance. Attempted vehicular homicide. He tried 302 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.559 to kill the Rock. And yet Hulgan walks into the SkyDome in Toronto and 303 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.839 is cheered like a hero. They boo the Rock and they'd cheer Hulk Hogan. 304 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:03.039 People didn't care. Here we have a man who broke into another man's 305 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:08.359 home and threatened his family, threatened his wife and young son, and yet 306 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.880 he comes out here and it's like it's all forgotten about. It's all water 307 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.799 under the bridge because he won, right, he's a winner, He's not 308 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.000 a loser, so it's okay. But I just thought that was kind of 309 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:23.799 funny how quickly we forget. So he comes out, he gets a big 310 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:32.839 baby face reaction, and they were solidly behind him throughout the match. You 311 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:37.319 know. Lethal hit a shoulder breaker to that taped up shoulder before a commercial 312 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:44.039 break. Strickland cut off Lethal in the corner with a huge superplex, followed 313 00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:49.119 by a rolling flatliner and a brainbuster for two. Lethal then countered a figure 314 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:56.319 four leg lock into an inside cradle before a reverse soup plex, and then 315 00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.960 he hit a top rope elbow drop, got a near fall of his own 316 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.400 out of it. Strickland counter the lethal injection and apply to stretch muffler, 317 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:11.880 but Lethal manage his way out of it. Nick Grosso dropping a Samoa bro 318 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.759 on me here on Thanksgiving eve. See, I know a lot of people 319 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.440 are traveling, a lot of people are already celebrating with their family. We 320 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.039 don't have a full house here, but the house we have is loud. 321 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.880 Man, you guys are making a lot of noise. I like it. 322 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:30.599 I like the noise. I appreciate you hanging out with me here on a 323 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.079 holiday. So he applies a stretch muffler Lethal, though got out of it 324 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.960 into a cross face. Lethal wanted the lethal injection again, but Strickland drop 325 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.440 kicked the leg out, hit the house call, and then the Swerve stump 326 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.559 for the win. The first three points of this tournament go to Swerve Strickland, 327 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.880 and it was nice to have a rare Jay Lethal Madge without all the 328 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:59.519 outside interference and all the shenanigans that we usually get with Jeff Jarrett and Karen 329 00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.880 Jarrett. Sanjay Dutt I would say Satinam singing, but he doesn't do much. 330 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.039 He just kind of stands there, so I can't really blame the guy. 331 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.799 But without all the bs that we usually get, we got a straight 332 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.720 wrestling match here, one on one. It was nice for a change. 333 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.240 Unfortunately, Swerve did not come out with Prince Nana, so you got to 334 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.720 take the bad with the good cuts both ways. But I thought it was 335 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.680 a solid opener. Uh. It's too bad that Lethal has been involved with 336 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.240 such a goofy stuff on television because it's hard to take him seriously in a 337 00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:36.039 tournament like this. We know how talented he is, and he's a former 338 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:40.920 Ring of Honor world champion and television champion and been around forever, very well 339 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:45.799 respected, but hard to take him seriously. Is somebody that you can honestly 340 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.160 believe has a chance of going to the finals or even frankly, of racking 341 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:52.039 up that many points in this tournament. I don't want to say he's going 342 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.160 to go totally winless, but he might go totally winless in this tournament, 343 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.240 which goes back to what I said before. Ony Kin initially said that it 344 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.680 would be twelve of the top AW stars, twelve of the top names on 345 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.440 the AW roster. The fact is Jay Lethal does not fit that criteria. 346 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.319 He is not one of the top twelve stars in AW. So when you 347 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:17.279 see names like that in there, you know why they're there. They're there 348 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:22.319 to take the loss. But there are some names that were left out of 349 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.920 this that really should have been in. That's the only thing that's disappointing about. 350 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:32.640 And otherwise, very impressive lineup of talent in this tournament. But it 351 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.319 was a solid opener. Obviously the right guy went over. Now, Renee 352 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.480 was backstage with Orange, Cassidy, Hook and Katsiori Shabata the Ring of Honor 353 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.880 Pure Champion. Cassidy asked for this time to make a special announcement, but 354 00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:53.079 he was immediately interrupted by Wheeler Yuda, who said that it took seventeen orange 355 00:25:53.079 --> 00:26:00.119 punches and an exposed turnbuckle to beat John Moxley. He said it makes him 356 00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:04.880 sick that Sabada still has the ROH Pure title. He told Shabata to watch 357 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.240 his Pure Rules match on Ring of Honor this week, and then he walked 358 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.240 off and Cassidy said that he still had an announcement to make, but Renee 359 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:19.319 told him that we're at a time sorry. Then we had the aw World 360 00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:26.119 champion MJF coming out along with Adam Cole. We had their remixed music and 361 00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.480 so they each came out from either side of the stage. Cole was on 362 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:34.880 his crutches like he wasn't full gear. MJF had a cane like Vince McMahon 363 00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:40.640 did in Saudi Arabia, only he didn't have the shitty mustache. So they 364 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:45.720 get in the ring and Cole takes a seat in the ring and MJF said 365 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.440 that after he just beat j White on one leg, he learned in those 366 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:53.319 thirty minutes that Jay White is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. 367 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:59.079 But he said nobody is on the level of the Devil. He's the 368 00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.759 youngest and long reigning champion of all time. He said that he knows he 369 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.799 can be a little humble, but he thinks that he earned the right to 370 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.720 toot his own horn tonight, and he told us that we are looking at 371 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:15.680 the greatest AEW World Champion of all time. He did his catchphrase. He 372 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:21.640 said, none of this is possible without his bro Chacho for life. That 373 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:26.000 led into story time with Adam Cole. He said it was great to be 374 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.720 back here in Chicago and to still be the Ring of Honor World Tag Team 375 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:37.119 Champion along with MJF with a little help, he said, from Samoa Joe. 376 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.720 But with the good news comes the bad news. He said, his 377 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.759 ankle is really messed up and he's still going to be out for a very 378 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.440 long time. He's still a long ways off from walking again, let alone 379 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.640 getting back in the wrestling ring, but he vowed to come back at one 380 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.759 hundred percent and be the best Adam Cole that he has ever been. But 381 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:02.680 he was really worried about it. He said, it feels like the entire 382 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.079 world is gunning for him. With Wardlow and Samoa Joe, and now the 383 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.720 Devil and his goons. MJF cut him off and said that he is going 384 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.039 to find the man behind the mask, behind the devil mask, and he 385 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.559 said the hell that he sends him to is going to feel like heaven. 386 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:26.720 At that moment, the lights went out in the arena and they played a 387 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:32.359 quick clip of the Devil with him laughing. Of course his voice was dubbed. 388 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:36.799 They play a clip of him laughing, and yes, I agree. 389 00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:38.839 There were people saying it sounded like Jack Perry. I agree, if you 390 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.480 listen to it, it does kind of sound like Jack Perry. But I 391 00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:47.960 want to point something else out because I rewound it when I saw some people 392 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.720 mentioning Jack Perry, so I rewound it to listen to the Devil. But 393 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.599 I noticed something else, And it could be nothing. It could be nothing. 394 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.440 But if you go back and watch right before the lights went out, 395 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.519 you can see that Adam Cole had his hand in his pocket or went to 396 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.160 put his hand in his pocket. Right he's sitting down and the lights go 397 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.839 out and the very brief clip of the Devil plays and he's laughing, and 398 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.960 when they cut back to the ring live Cole is sitting there and his right 399 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:23.799 hand is in his pocket. And then we hear Samoa Joe's music and Samoa 400 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.880 Joe comes out to come to the ring. Now, why would his hand 401 00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:30.480 have been in his pocket like that? It was only his right hand, 402 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.880 almost as if he was putting his hand in his pocket, maybe to push 403 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:40.720 a button to play a video up on the screen. We know how easy 404 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.599 it is to push a button and get videos up on the screen. They 405 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:47.160 do it every week with Cole via zoom right, Oh, let me dial 406 00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:49.559 Adam Cole. Oh, boom, there he is on screen. I try 407 00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.960 to connect my AirPod sometimes via Wi Fi to my laptop and I could be 408 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.920 here for twenty five minutes trying to get it to work. They push one 409 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.519 button in boom, Adam Cole is on screen. So interesting though that he 410 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.039 had his hand in his pocket at the exact moment that that video played. 411 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:07.119 And if you go back and watch it you could see it again. It 412 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.880 could mean nothing, or it could be something. I guess we'll see. 413 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.839 So they cut back to the ring, like I said, and they play 414 00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:22.559 Samoa Joe's pocket Fishermen. That's also very possible. That's also very possible. 415 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.200 It could it could just be he was playing the old game of pocket fishermen, 416 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.559 right, So a little bit of pocket pool and we've all we've all 417 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.599 been there even during these hey, during these streams, you never know, 418 00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:42.960 right, you only see me from the shoulders up. You don't know what 419 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:47.440 of them. You don't even know if I'm wearing pants right now it's Thanksgiving. 420 00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:51.480 I could be in my Turkey suit. You have no idea. Samoa 421 00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:53.319 Joe makes his way this, This just went to a very dark place. 422 00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:59.000 Samoa Joe made his way down to the ring, and he said it was 423 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:04.559 time for celebration. He said, two massive victories this weekend for MJF. 424 00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:12.039 Despite the fact that his less adequate friend looking at Cole couldn't defend him. 425 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:17.279 Yet he still stands here as the aw World champion. But earlier that night, 426 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.519 he points out that MJF went out with Joe and successfully defended those Ring 427 00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:26.920 of Honor tag team titles for the simple price of giving him his championship rematch. 428 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:34.240 And so he has come to Chicago to ensure that honorable men honor their 429 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:42.640 deals. Spoken like a true Ring of Honor former television champion. So MJF 430 00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:47.279 tells him, you know, I thought long and hard about their deal, 431 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.359 and he's come up with a very mature response to Samoa Joe below me. 432 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.319 Now, they censored this, as she censored a few things during this promo, 433 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.240 So I don't know if the show's gone PG or not, but you 434 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.599 read the guy's lips. He clearly told Joe to blow him, and this 435 00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:07.880 pissed off Samoa Joe, who had no interest in blowing this man, so 436 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:14.599 he grabs him right, grabs MJF. And Adam Cole is begging Joe to 437 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.519 take his hands off from Joejojoe just let him go, Let him go, 438 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.119 right, and he addresses MJF and Cole says, you can't do this. 439 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:27.079 What you just said, what you just did, that's something the old Max 440 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.119 would do. You can't do that, he says. The new Max, 441 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.640 the new MJF is a man of his word. He said he's had wars 442 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:38.200 with Samoa Joe, Cole has and they've been the toughest fights of his life. 443 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:42.839 That's why he is who he is. But that's also why MJF is 444 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.559 who he is, because when MJF says something is gonna happen, it happens. 445 00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:51.599 He says, you promised this man a championship shot. So Max, 446 00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:58.880 be a man of your word, and fans chanted he's our scumbag. MJF 447 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.079 said that, you know what, you wouldn't be the first Ring of Honor 448 00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:08.359 legend that I've beaten in Chicago twice. And it says, how about MJF 449 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:13.319 against Samoa Joe right here, right now in Chicago, And of course all 450 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.440 the fans in Chicago wanted to see that, right, three cheers for that. 451 00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:22.519 Samoa Joe says, absolutely not. He said MJF is gonna get on 452 00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:27.200 the internet tomorrow and he's gonna bitch and he's gonna moan about how he wasn't 453 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.759 one hundred percent and he was still hurt and it's not fair. He says, 454 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.519 no, no, no, no, Max. I want the best 455 00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:38.720 version of you. I want the fully healed Max. So I say, 456 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:44.680 by World's End, you should be nice and shipper to get back in the 457 00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.759 ring and defend that time. So MJF wanted to clarify this. He wanted 458 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:53.079 to clarify that Samoa Joe wanted to wrestle him on December thirtieth at World's End 459 00:33:53.640 --> 00:34:00.240 at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island the most magical place on Earth, and 460 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.599 the fans boot, the fans in Chicago did not want to see this magic 461 00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:10.159 the Nasaw Coliseum on Long Island, and MJF told him go ahead and boo, 462 00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:15.679 he doesn't give a shit, which again they censored, and then he 463 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:17.199 tried to get back at their good graces, say, guys, I didn't 464 00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:22.840 say I didn't like deep dish. Calm down, and he told Joe, 465 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:27.880 you know what, You've got yourself a deal. So they shook on it, 466 00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.280 but MJF held his hand and he pulled him in and he told him 467 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:37.280 wrestling MJF and Long Island is like copin head from an alligator. But looking 468 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:42.480 at Joe these days, he imagines he doesn't have many options. And Joe 469 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.079 told him, all this worrying that you've been doing about the devil, you 470 00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:51.599 don't have to worry anymore, he says, because as of today, you 471 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.639 are my property. And he says, nobody touches his property without his permission. 472 00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:00.519 So he's got mjf's back and he's going to deliver the very he best 473 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.599 MJF at the Nassau Coliseum and then he's going to beat him unconscious in front 474 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:10.039 of his friends and family and anybody that he knows and loves. So Samoa 475 00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:15.880 Joe is great Samoa Joe. Even when Joe was getting hurt all the time 476 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:19.119 in WWE, because you know, the injury bug bit him a few times, 477 00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.760 the one thing that never wavered was when you put a live mic in 478 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.480 his hand, he was the best in the entire company. Nobody could touch 479 00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:31.480 it. He was fantastic. Thankfully, here in aw so far he's been 480 00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:35.599 able to stay healthy. He's more physically active for them than he was for 481 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.400 WWE. Now he's in the pay per view main event at the end of 482 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.480 the year, so world's end, we already have our main events set. 483 00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.360 It's gonna be MJF defending against Samoa Joe in a remat from Grand Slam. 484 00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:49.320 And again, this makes at least two, maybe three pay per views in 485 00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.159 a row where we have had our main events solidified weeks and weeks in advance, 486 00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:58.079 and it has given them an opportunity to really take their time in building 487 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.480 to it instead of announce it like you know, two weeks before. It's 488 00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:05.480 a trend that I hope continues, at least as far as their main events. 489 00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.880 You don't have to have the entire card, you know, solid three 490 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:12.800 weeks out, but your key matches, your key main event. You know, 491 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.400 you should be able to announce that for in advance if you have a 492 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:19.519 picture of where you're going. So we've already got our main event, and 493 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.719 we're still over a month away. We're five weeks out, you know, 494 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:28.320 from World's End. So I like that that was the obvious match. I 495 00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:30.880 still think that there's a good chance we got the devil reveal at World's End. 496 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:35.000 I think I feel like even just the name of the show, the 497 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:39.280 fact that it's in mjf's hometown, it just feels like it's the end of 498 00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:43.679 the year. We're counting down right, the final show of the year. 499 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:47.599 It just feels like we're building to this show for the reveal of who the 500 00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.639 Devil is. Question is, is MJF gonna benefit from this or not? 501 00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:59.840 Does the Devil show himself and end up ruining the match and ruining Joe's chances 502 00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:04.079 of or does that happen after the match is over, MJF just beat him 503 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.440 again, you know, they just want to use Joe for a second match 504 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.719 and put MJF over and then the big reveal comes that. I don't know, 505 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.000 but I would not discount the possibility that Samoa Joe could walk into twenty 506 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:21.000 twenty four as the AW World Champion. You know, there's a reason why 507 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.880 they took that Ring of Honor television title off of him, and it may 508 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:28.760 not just be to get him the match with MJF. It's because they want 509 00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:30.480 that belt off of him because they have another belt in mind for him, 510 00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:36.519 and then MJF could always take the belt back from him a month later, 511 00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.000 two months later. I mean, it kind of did the same thing with 512 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:43.079 the TNT title and then they had Joe drop it to Darby. I think 513 00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:46.400 that was at the beginning of the year. Joe is something of a I 514 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:50.480 can't even call him a transitional champion. If the belt were to just go 515 00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:54.159 back to MJF. That's not how you define a transitional champion, but kind 516 00:37:54.199 --> 00:38:00.519 of like a brief run. To give MJF a mountain decline, give him 517 00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:04.079 something to have to fight for to get his belt back wouldn't be the worst 518 00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:06.639 thing in the world. But again, he's got a lot of irons in 519 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:08.800 the fire Wardlow being another one. I don't know if they want that belt 520 00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:14.000 off of him until it's time for him to drop it to whoever that heir 521 00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:16.840 apparent is going to be. I don't see the harm though, if you 522 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:20.800 want to give Joe a quick run and then have MJF get the belt back, 523 00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.679 I don't see the harm in that. Joe is fantastic. Joe is 524 00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:30.159 a would be a great champion. So here we are going into a main 525 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.920 event where I don't mind either outcome, whether MJF retains or he loses. 526 00:38:35.239 --> 00:38:37.239 I think in either scenario, they're still in good hands, you know. 527 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.280 Going into the new year, now we had Orange Cassidy, we had Hook 528 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.360 and we had Katsuyori Shabata in a trios match against Jake Hager, Matt Minard 529 00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:54.639 and Angelo Parker. Cassidy went to the floor and he grabbed the microphone to 530 00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:59.079 tell us that he had a Thanksgiving surprise for us. I guess this is 531 00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:04.679 what he was going to win earlier before Renee told him that they were desperately 532 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:09.760 out of time, and he informs us the big surprise turns out to be 533 00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.960 the return of Dan Hausen, who was hyped up even before Halloween and that 534 00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:21.280 we never saw. So something happened, and so Tony Khan decided to hold 535 00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.480 him out a little bit longer. Now it's Thanksgiving and we got the return 536 00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:27.360 of Dan Housen. Even though they were still playing on the on the tron 537 00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:30.159 the Halloween video, which was a takeoff on Halloween three. If you know 538 00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:34.840 you know, so they were playing that video, then they played his music. 539 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.119 Then he came out. He got a big pop. I don't want 540 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.639 to say he got a bigger pop than MJF, but he got the biggest, 541 00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:43.880 one of the biggest reactions on the show up to this point. Everybody 542 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:45.719 was very happy to see Dan Housen. He came down to the ring to 543 00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:50.239 be in the baby Face corner and for those who don't know, he tore 544 00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:53.519 his peck back at Revolution, he took a three ten t EuMA from the 545 00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:57.360 guns. He tore his peck and that's why he's been out ever since March. 546 00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.760 So this was his big return. Hook was isolated during a picture and 547 00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:06.920 picture break before finally hitting an overhead throw on Angelo Parker and he made the 548 00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:10.480 tag to Orange Cassidy, who ran wild until Hagar caught him with a takedown. 549 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.840 Cassidy fought back with the stun Dog Millionaire and tagged in Shabbata, who 550 00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:20.280 went toe to toe with Hagar's so we got a little back and forth between 551 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.079 those two. Shabbata fired off a pump kick, Hager mowed him down with 552 00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:28.880 a knee lift, and then he missed a corner splash. Shabata hit Hagar 553 00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:34.239 lit him up, actually with a series of chops, and then he hit 554 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.840 the stalling drop kick to the face in the corner, which always looks great. 555 00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:42.559 Parker and Minard made the save, and the Heels wanted a triple power 556 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.280 bomb, but Den Housen got up on the apron and he pulled out the 557 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:51.880 old purple bucket hat, which we haven't seen in months, used to be 558 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:57.199 Hagar's favorite hat. He put it on his head and he cursed Jake Hager. 559 00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:59.719 Hager came outside to confront him. He cursed him. He put a 560 00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.920 curse son, Jay care I too have cursed and shake Haeger many times in 561 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:07.360 the past as well, but this was the Dan Housen curse that he put 562 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:13.000 on Jay Haeger hook and Shabbata meanwhile slapped on dueling submissions, red rum and 563 00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:16.679 a rear naked choke, and the Heels tapped out. So Shabbata hook and 564 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:24.119 Cassidy pick up the wind. Good to see Dan Hausen back just some One 565 00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:30.039 of my guilty pleasures on the show is Dan House Renee was talking to Adam 566 00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:35.880 Cole backstage when Roderick Strong rolled up with Matt Taven and Mike Bennett behind him, 567 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:40.119 and he wanted to know where Cole was on Friday when Action Andretti dropped 568 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:44.119 him on his head. Where were you? I mean, it was nice 569 00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:45.639 to see that you were a full gear on Saturday, but where were you 570 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:51.840 on Friday when I almost died? And Cole yelled at him and asked him, 571 00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:53.039 you know, when are you going to get it through your thick skull 572 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:58.000 that I'm not your best friend anymore? And he told him to back off 573 00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:02.119 and leave me the hell alone before he hobbled away. So we have Roderick 574 00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:07.400 Strong in his wheelchair, we have Adam Cole in his walking boot and his 575 00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:12.599 crutches. We have MJF coming out with a pimp cane. We had the 576 00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:17.199 walking wounded in this company. Swere of Strickland, of course, took the 577 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:21.119 worst beating of all on Saturday, and he came out with a little bit 578 00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:24.639 of tape on his shoulder. So he's holding up okay, And Roddy was 579 00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:30.440 left sitting there in his wheelchair looking very disappointed and very upset by Adam Call 580 00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:34.360 snapping at him and saying the things that he said. If you did not 581 00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:39.039 see I guess it would have been a collision. On Friday, But if 582 00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:44.320 you didn't see it, there was a match between Roddy and Action Andretti, 583 00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:47.360 and there was a spot where Roddy got dropped on his head and it was 584 00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:52.920 very scary. Thankfully, he's next strong, so he was okay that that 585 00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:59.679 almost went from storyline to reality in the blink of an eye. That almost 586 00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:04.480 became a shoot the whole broken neck thing. He's very lucky that he came 587 00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:09.960 out of that unscathed. After a break, Christian Cage was out next for 588 00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:14.599 one of my favorite segments on the show. To I always I mean, 589 00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:16.199 Christian Cage is, of course one of the best parts of the show. 590 00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.039 He's doing the best work of his career right now. What's not to like? 591 00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:24.639 Christian Cage comes to the ring with Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne, and they 592 00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:31.039 had promoted coming into the show that Christian would be re christening them. He 593 00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:39.039 was going to re christen Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne. So Christian comes out and 594 00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:45.639 he points out that he didn't lose at full gear, and he points out 595 00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:51.840 that Nick Wayne did not lose it full gear. So then he walks over 596 00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:58.760 to Lucasaurus and he says, Lucasaurus is the one who lost their match at 597 00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:02.639 full gear, and he said that that was unacceptable. He said he went 598 00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:06.320 home and he thought about how to get rid of the stench of losing, 599 00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.000 and then it hit him. It hit him like a ton of bricks. 600 00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:14.800 He said that since Wayne and Lucasaurus are his children, he was time to 601 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:20.800 recreate them in his image. So Cage told Lucasaurus to take a knee, 602 00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:24.679 and Lucasaurus stayed on his feet. Cage told him again take a knee, 603 00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:30.079 and Lucasaurus did not budge. Cage called him a moron and ordered him to 604 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:35.760 take a knee, and then finally he did. Cage said the name Lucasaurus 605 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:40.360 will forever be associated with being a loser. And he said that he came 606 00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:47.360 up with a name of strength and toughness because he considers Lucasaurus to be his 607 00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:53.280 finisher, and so he will forever from this point forward, be known as 608 00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:59.400 kill Switch. That's where Christian calls his finishing, so he is now kill 609 00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:05.079 switch, which is actually a much better name than Lucrosaurus. So then Christian 610 00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:08.400 called out Nick Wayne's name, and without hesitation, without even being asked to 611 00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:15.239 do so, Nick Wayne immediately takes a knee and Christian tells him to get 612 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:20.000 up, and he told him you never get on your knees for another person, 613 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.039 which is a good life lesson for all of you in the chat. 614 00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:27.719 Don't ever get on your knees for someone. He called Nick Wayne the son 615 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.079 that he never had. He called him his golden boy. He said, 616 00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:38.159 you are me and he told him I love you Nick. You are a 617 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:44.559 golden boy, and you will forever be known as the prodigy, the prodigy 618 00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:51.320 Nick Wayne, and the two of them hugged. Most brought a tear to 619 00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.000 my eye. What a wonderfully touching moment between father and son. Hearing this 620 00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:59.639 scene, all of a sudden, here comes Nick's mom who has a name. 621 00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.719 I don't think they've ever identified her by name before this, Shana. 622 00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:08.360 So Shana is running to the ring. Christian called her a terrible mother. 623 00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:14.679 He said, sure, maybe you love Nick unconditionally gave him your unconditional love. 624 00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:17.760 But that's not good enough, he said, you couldn't provide for him. 625 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.000 You make forty thousand dollars a year being a waitress. You think he 626 00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.239 wanted his mom to be a waitress. He says, look at me. 627 00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:28.320 I'm a legend, I'm a champion. I could give him the world. 628 00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:35.079 Then he said, in the most Christian way possible, he said, it's 629 00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:38.599 a good thing that her husband is dead already, because Nick would have disowned 630 00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:43.199 him anyway. When he realized that Buddy Wayne wasn't as good of a wrestler 631 00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:47.079 or a father as he is, he says, it's a shame it came 632 00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:51.960 to this, because had she played her cards right, things may have been 633 00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:55.599 a little bit different. Then he said, go punch your card because I 634 00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:00.800 think you because I think your shift is a to start at denny he's so 635 00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:08.719 fantastically douchey, like he's so fucking good in this role. Go punch your 636 00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:13.920 card because your shift is about to start at Denny's. So then kill Switch 637 00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:19.000 got in Christian's face, and Christian told him to get on his knees, 638 00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:22.440 and he yelled at him again when he didn't do it. Get on your 639 00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:28.920 knees. Get on your knees now, and then he slapped kill switch. 640 00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.760 The crowd chanted Lucasaurus. Christian told him to get on his knees or he 641 00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.800 would make him take that mask off and he would show the entire world why 642 00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.119 he wears it in the first place. So Lucasaurus again, he did not 643 00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.159 get down on his knees, and so Christian slapped him across the face. 644 00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:54.320 Eh, and hold on a second, he slaps it. He slaps him 645 00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:58.679 across the Uh. No, he didn't slap he uh, I think he 646 00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:02.760 slapped him. Then he shoved him in but he shoved the dinosaur and he 647 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:08.800 goes backwards and he hits Nick's mom. So he slams into Shana and Shana 648 00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:15.559 goes down. Nick's mom takes a bump down, she goes so then Nick 649 00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.639 did not even make a move to check on his mom to see how she 650 00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:22.840 was. Christian told him to go outside, and so he did, and 651 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:27.320 Nick Wayne goes under the ring and he grabs a chair and he puts the 652 00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:30.199 chair in the ring. He grabs a second chair and brings that into the 653 00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:37.880 ring as well, and Christian then hands the other chair to Lucasaurus puts the 654 00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:44.079 first chair under his mom's head, hands the second chair to Lucasaurus and wants 655 00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:51.719 him to bash this woman's brains and give her a kin chare them and Lucasaurus. 656 00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.599 He just can't bring himself to do it. He hesitates it first, 657 00:48:55.079 --> 00:49:00.679 and then finally he picks the chair up above his head and here comes Adam 658 00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:04.679 Copeland. His music hits. Of course, can't come out of as his 659 00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:07.360 music hits, so he hits the ring. He ducks the dinosaur. He 660 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:14.119 spears. Nick Wayne came face to face with Christian Lucasaurus, though pulls Christian 661 00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:17.159 out to safety. Copeland gave Nick Wayne another spear, and then he gave 662 00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:22.599 him an impaler DDT and then he set Wayne up for a one man concerto 663 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:27.960 and he smashed his skull as his mother watched. She was sitting in the 664 00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.800 corner watching this. I thought she was gonna throw her body on him, 665 00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.519 and then Copeland maybe would just hit her. Anyways, what Austin did. 666 00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.800 Toledo and Lida covered up Matt Hardy and they did that whole segment back in 667 00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:39.800 the day, which wwe would like to lock up in a vault. Never 668 00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:45.559 to be seen again. I'm sure, but did it right in front of 669 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:53.000 the of the Uh the kid's mom just smashed his head. That has me 670 00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:58.119 wondering. After this segment was over, I'm watching this and I'm thinking it 671 00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:02.519 has me wondering if we're gonna again Nick Wayne's mom going heel soon, if 672 00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:06.400 maybe she'll take Christian up on his offer of you know, if he plays 673 00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:08.519 your cards right, things might have been a little bit different. Maybe she'll 674 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:12.559 get a little bit tired of punching the clock at Denny's and she'll want to 675 00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:15.920 be with a real man, and maybe she'll end up with Christian, and 676 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:20.920 then Nick Wayne can have his mom with him as his chaperone in this group 677 00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:24.800 wherever they go. But I wonder if that's where this may possibly end up 678 00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:30.320 going. This is a strong segment. It further cemented Christian as the fantastic 679 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:36.719 douchebag that he is, and oh is he a fantastic douchebag. There's none 680 00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:39.599 better in the entire business right now than this guy right here. The way 681 00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:45.679 that he abuses Lucasaurus, the way that he manipulates Nick Wayne. Not a 682 00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:51.320 single redeeming quality about this man, not one. He doesn't come out there 683 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:52.480 and try to get a pop. He doesn't come out there and try to 684 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:59.559 be cool. His goal, his sole intent is to go out there and 685 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.519 get heat and get people to boo and hate his guts, no matter what 686 00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:07.280 he does, no matter what he says. Now it is to the point 687 00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:09.639 I think where he's so good at what he does that there are people who 688 00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:14.239 would cheer for him and do get a kick out of what he does just 689 00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:19.000 because it's entertaining. But again, no redeeming quality to his character whatsoever. 690 00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.159 The things he goes out there and says about this guy's you know, dead 691 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:27.119 father and her dead husband. And look, when the time comes that it's 692 00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.480 going to be him and Copeland one on one, and we get those you 693 00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:31.840 know, dueling promos from the two of them. I mean, Copeland, 694 00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:36.960 forget about I don't even think Edge even knew who his father was, so 695 00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:40.400 I'm sure Christian could have a field day with that one. But remember Copeland 696 00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:45.639 warned him weeks ago. He warned him that in the end he's gonna end 697 00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:50.039 up alone. Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne are gonna drop him, and so that 698 00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.119 that's eventually where this is going to lead to. And then we'll get the 699 00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:57.880 inevitable Legend Christian reunion. But that's for much later on. The first order 700 00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.480 of business is to get the first singles match in Copeland and Christian in an 701 00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:05.599 aw ring that they have a couple of shows coming up in Montreal, their 702 00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:10.360 first shows ever in Montreal are coming up in two weeks beginning of December, 703 00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:15.440 and I thought, you know, weeks ago, I thought maybe they're gonna 704 00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:19.800 do that first match on one of the Montreal shows. You take two Canadians 705 00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:22.679 and put them in the ring together. But now that we're two weeks away, 706 00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:27.519 that's way too quick of a turnaround. I see it more as a 707 00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:30.320 World's End match. You could do the first match of World's End between them. 708 00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:32.599 It's a big deal, you know, to get edging Christian in the 709 00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:37.400 ring together for the first time in a match against each other. I would 710 00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:40.159 save that for World's End. Yeah, you got MJF and Samoa Joe. 711 00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:44.960 You put Copeland and Christian on there. That's two big matches right there on 712 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:47.440 the show, plus the finals of the Continental Classic, and all of a 713 00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:53.400 sudden, World's End is shaping up to be a pretty big night. Speaking 714 00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:58.199 of the Continental Classic, we had our second gold match of the Night Gold 715 00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:05.440 League. It was rusche On one against Switchblade j White. White came to 716 00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:08.400 the ring with the guns and they all acted shocked when the referee said, 717 00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:14.760 you gotta go because nobody's allowed at ringside, no managers. Why we didn't 718 00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:16.840 get Prince Nana would swerve earlier in the night. You gotta go, and 719 00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:22.119 they acted they were shocked by this. Apparently nobody clewed them in as to 720 00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:25.320 the rules of this tournament. Now, there was no Juice Robinson with them, 721 00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:29.320 and Juice was not at full gear on Saturday either. They shot an 722 00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:34.719 angle on TV last week where MJF attacked him. He supposedly hit him with 723 00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:37.960 a giant television monitor screen, whatever it was. That was a cover for 724 00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:43.800 a real injury. Juice Robinson has a back injury that he needs back surgery 725 00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:47.719 for, and that sounds serious when you hear back surgery. Apparently it's not 726 00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:52.400 so serious that it's going to keep him out for an extended period of time. 727 00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:55.480 I don't know what the nature of the surgery is on his back. 728 00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:00.079 It's good that it doesn't sound that serious, but you know, it's still 729 00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:04.360 back surgery. So he's going to be gone for a while that we have 730 00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:07.599 not seen Rusche on Dynamite in a very long time now. If you're wondering 731 00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.519 how long has it been since we've seen Rush on this show, you would 732 00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:15.000 have to go back to Dynamite all the way in May. Remember that match 733 00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:19.079 he had with Jungle Boy which got a lot of people talking about how unprofessional 734 00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:22.639 Rouche is and he went into business for himself because he was kicking the shit 735 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:25.760 at a Jungle Boy and Jungle Boy was the one going into the four Pillars 736 00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:30.480 match at double or nothing, challenging for the world title. But that was 737 00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:34.960 it was by design. They wanted Jungle Boy to go in there and take 738 00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.360 a beating and then in the end he would pull out the wind, which 739 00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:40.239 is what happened. But that's how far back you'd have to go. We've 740 00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:45.840 seen Rouch on Collision recently, but it's nice to finally get him back on 741 00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:49.840 Dynamite, which is still their primary number one show, so it was nice 742 00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:53.000 to see him back on the show. Rush hit an early shoulder block and 743 00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:58.440 a drop kick with Jay White on the ropes, which forced him to regroup 744 00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:07.760 outside. Sid says back surgery from carrying Bullet Club Gold is that J White 745 00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:19.840 slander? I hear I like J White and Juice Robinson. So White goes 746 00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:23.239 outside to regroup. Rushe wanted it choke him with the TV chords. Paul 747 00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:25.599 Turner went over and put a stop to that and said, look, I'll 748 00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:30.239 disqualify you if you do that. So Rush ended up winning a chop battle. 749 00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:34.719 We got a lot of that here in this match. You won a 750 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:38.679 chop battle inside the ring. Then he hit a pump fake kick before shooting 751 00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:45.079 the l I J pos heading into commercial. J White took control during the 752 00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:47.360 break, but it was very short lived. Rush had a flying forearm and 753 00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:52.119 three amigos for the near fall. Rush took too long to follow up, 754 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:54.320 and he missed the top rope Senton, which led to a brainbuster by J. 755 00:55:54.519 --> 00:56:00.320 White for a two count. Rush had a pump knee and ran into 756 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:04.719 a yurinagi for two. He chopped his way out of a blade runner attempt, 757 00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:07.480 and then he hit a snap German soup plex, only for J. 758 00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:14.480 White to catch a kick into a dragon screw Rush Rush. I was gonna 759 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:17.199 say he rushed. He rushed in. He was trying to rush in with 760 00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:22.480 bulls horns, but White avoided it, and then he looked for a blade 761 00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:28.559 Runner again nearly collided with the referee and this allowed Jay White to hit a 762 00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:31.400 low blow and then finally he nailed blade Runner and he picked up the wind 763 00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:37.239 three points for the switchblade. This was a chop fest for a good part 764 00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:40.320 of it, and they beat the holy hell out of each other. These 765 00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:46.280 two damn good match here, I thought. Between them again, I'm a 766 00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:50.519 little torn between this and the main event. As far as which was the 767 00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:53.639 best tournament match of the night, I probably would give it to the main 768 00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:57.960 event. But this one was a damn good match, and it was a 769 00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:00.440 nice rebound win for Jay White. He needed this win coming out of the 770 00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:05.280 loss. Everybody made such a big deal out of the you know, the 771 00:57:05.360 --> 00:57:07.760 loss to the one legged man at full gear, and I didn't think it 772 00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:10.719 killed him as much as some people did. But he needed this win. 773 00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:14.679 He needed this win. It was the right move. He got the win. 774 00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:16.360 I'll tell you what else I like about this, And if you're a 775 00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:22.280 new japan fan, you'll know what I'm talking about. The consistency of Jy 776 00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:25.559 here in this round robin having to cheat to win in the same way that 777 00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:30.559 he used to cheat to win in the g one. So I like that 778 00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:35.000 consistency there. Some things never change, always looking for a way to get 779 00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:37.000 that just that upper hand, and he'll do whatever it takes to win. 780 00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:44.280 No different. Here fits his m O perfectly and so Jy gets his three 781 00:57:44.320 --> 00:57:47.840 points in the tournament. Now we got footage of Ricky Starks and Big Bill. 782 00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:52.280 They retain their aw World Tag team titles in a four way ladder match 783 00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:54.840 on Saturday at Full Gear. We we got footage of them after the show. 784 00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:59.599 They were on the dais with Tony Kahn at the media scrum and Chris 785 00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:02.119 Jerrich walked in and had some words for them. It's gonna be Jericho and 786 00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:06.800 Omega challenging them for the tag team titles. Very soon. Could be a 787 00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:10.880 world's end. Then in the hallway they attacked Jericho. Kenny wasn't there. 788 00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.760 For those who don't know, Kenny, Omega's cat is sick and so he 789 00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:19.000 didn't. As soon as the match was over and the show was over, 790 00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:21.559 he left the building to go home to be with his sick cat, So 791 00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:27.519 he wasn't there. Big Bill and Ricky Starks they jumped Jericho Jericho in the 792 00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.239 match on Saturday. He suffered a gash on his arm on a spot with 793 00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:34.239 the steel steps. I think got ten stitches in his arm. So they 794 00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:37.440 attacked the injured arm and they held the arm up against the wall and I 795 00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:44.360 think it was Big Bill who shoved a production case equipment case into the arm 796 00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:46.920 and they left Jericho laying. So again, we're going to be getting that 797 00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:52.719 tag team title match very soon. Jericho and Omega got the Young Bucks shot 798 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:57.519 by beating them, and so they'll wrestle Ricky in Big Bill very soon. 799 00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:06.559 Rene was one with RJ City. They had a microphone stand. This is 800 00:59:06.599 --> 00:59:10.119 like an Awards ceremony here, and they had they pulled out an envelope. 801 00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:16.320 RJ pulled out an envelope to announce the winner of the aw Women's World Title, 802 00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:22.719 and they said, and the aw Women's Championship goes too, And then 803 00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:28.159 they said her name at the exact same time in stereo, timeless Tony Storm, 804 00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:32.400 just like it was the Oscars, And they played her music and they 805 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:35.800 cut to a shot. She was sitting in the front row in the crowd 806 00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.320 and Luther was with her, and she got up to me. She couldn't 807 00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:43.280 believe it. She comes out of the crowd and she's coming up the ramp 808 00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:49.559 and she almost tripped and she yelled at Luther and Mariah May brought out the 809 00:59:49.599 --> 01:00:00.320 aw Women's Title. Two brought out the aw Women's Title to present to Tony's 810 01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:05.840 Storm. Tony said that it was embarrassing because she didn't have anything prepared. 811 01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.480 She was caught off guard here. And then she put on her reading glasses 812 01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:14.639 and she pulled out a sheet of paper and she thanked mister Anthony Kahan and 813 01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:21.239 the people at Warner Discovery, especially Jack Warner who's been dead for forty five 814 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:27.079 years. So they started to play her off. They started playing her music 815 01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:32.119 because I'm not done yet. She thanked the little Tony Storms out there who 816 01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:37.840 want to be me. She said, this is her spot. You will 817 01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:40.679 not take it, you will not make it. And if you'll notice, 818 01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:46.599 behind her, Mariah May had a very well, shall we say, a 819 01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:52.039 disenfranchised look on her face. This seemed to bother Mariah May. You can 820 01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:57.159 see where that story is going. The Storm told all the kids to stay 821 01:00:57.159 --> 01:01:02.079 in school. Mariah May went back to viling and applauded. Once her speech 822 01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:10.719 was over, then sky Blues music interrupts and outcomes sky Blue to march on 823 01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:15.639 down to the ring for the next match, and Tony Storm was highly insulted 824 01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:20.119 by this. So between the interruption there at the end by sky Blue and 825 01:01:20.159 --> 01:01:22.599 then sky Blue winning her next match, which came right after this, it's 826 01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:25.880 pretty clear what the match is going to be. Probably for world's end, 827 01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:30.639 Tony Storm's first challenger looks to be sky Blue for the aw Women's World title. 828 01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:35.079 We'll see where the Mariah May story goes as far as how long it 829 01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:37.840 takes for them to get there. This is a story that should be playing 830 01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:42.079 out over much of the next year. There really is no reason for them 831 01:01:42.119 --> 01:01:45.440 to rush into anything with Mariah May and Tony Storm in the next few months. 832 01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.719 Like they literally just introduced this woman on television in a backstage segment two 833 01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:55.519 weeks ago. So soon she'll start wrestling, and she could really kind of, 834 01:01:55.559 --> 01:02:00.000 you know, buddy up to Tony Storm even more. She could wrestle 835 01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:01.920 matches on her behalf, right, which was the idea that I had. 836 01:02:02.119 --> 01:02:07.159 But that will help prolong things for a while, and then you can eventually 837 01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:09.039 do the match, but there's no need to rush into it. And then 838 01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:13.199 you still have Jamie Hater waiting in the wings. Whenever she comes back, 839 01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:17.079 right, she's gonna probably want her belt back. So there's a few different 840 01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:22.719 things that Tony Storm can be doing in the first half of twenty twenty four 841 01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:27.880 as we get a very entertaining segment out of it tonight. I enjoyed this. 842 01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:30.480 I see. I love the gimmick. If you don't like this gimmick, 843 01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:32.679 if you think it's too campy and too goofy, you're not gonna like 844 01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:37.599 this. This is not gonna be for everybody. But I love it because 845 01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:40.719 it's just different than what you would not have seen something like this in the 846 01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:44.800 early days of aw And there are a lot of things that we would have 847 01:02:44.840 --> 01:02:46.880 seen in the early days of Dynamite that I wish they would maybe get back 848 01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:52.320 to. But there's also things that I don't think Tony Kahan would have done 849 01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:54.039 because it wasn't in his comfort zone, or it would have been perceived as 850 01:02:54.280 --> 01:03:00.639 it's too WWE, it's too sports entertainment, right, But it's okay to 851 01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:04.800 have some stuff like that on the show. And Tony Storm is just she's 852 01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:07.400 knocking it out of the park. Like she has embraced this role. She's 853 01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:13.199 thrown herself into this and I just think it's just fantastic. It's great, 854 01:03:13.480 --> 01:03:16.400 and I'm so happy that she broke away from the outcasts. You see Soreya 855 01:03:16.519 --> 01:03:22.599 and Ruby Soho in this very next seedgment in fact right they were out there 856 01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:27.480 and it's like they're still doing the outcast thing and it's so played out. 857 01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:30.199 I'm like, thank god Tony Storm branched away from this. Otherwise she would 858 01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:35.559 be dragged down by it. Instead, she's broken away and she's doing her 859 01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:39.519 thing, and I think it's great. So we had Ana j Ruby Soho, 860 01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:43.599 and sky Blue in a triple threat man. Soreya was out there in 861 01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:49.000 Ruby's corner. Angela Parker and Matt Minard were out there as well with Anna 862 01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:54.519 Jay because they've been running an angle though on rampage, mostly on rampage where 863 01:03:54.599 --> 01:04:03.519 there's a little thing going on between Angelo Parker and Ruby, so little something 864 01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:10.960 something going on there, have a little feeling for each other. So sky 865 01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:15.159 Blue set up for an early move on the apron. Parker grabbed her foot, 866 01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:17.679 which allowed Ana Jade to knock her off the apron. Ex Caliber noted 867 01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:23.480 that there are no disqualifications in three way matches. Ruby ended up at ringside. 868 01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:28.400 She traded smiles with Angelo Parker and Sorea and Menard. Both of them 869 01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:30.599 were not very happy. It's like two parents that don't want their kids dating. 870 01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:33.719 Right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. All right, 871 01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:39.599 Let's put our brains together and figure out how we can squash this. And 872 01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:42.920 they pulled them apart. Back inside, Blue hit a cross body block from 873 01:04:42.920 --> 01:04:47.119 the ropes onto both opponents. Blue went for Code Blue on Anna, but 874 01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:51.960 Anna hooked her arms and slammed her face first of the mat. Anna had 875 01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:57.960 the pin, Parker broke it up. Minard grabbed Soho's foot from the floor 876 01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:02.079 to stop her from running the ropes. Soraya then yelled at Matt Minard and 877 01:05:02.199 --> 01:05:09.679 Ruby got knocked off the apron into the waiting arms of Angelo Parker, and 878 01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:14.360 the two of them smiled at each other. You were very happy. Siraya 879 01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:16.960 pulled Ruby away and scolded her in the ring, though Sky Blue avoided and 880 01:05:17.079 --> 01:05:20.920 his queens Slayer and Super kicked her and then followed up with a cutter and 881 01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:26.159 got the pin because Ruby was late in trying to break it up, and 882 01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:30.519 Sorea and Ruby continued to argue as they went to the back. Anna Jay 883 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:36.599 looked annoyed by Angelo Parker. This was more about Ruby and Angelo than anything 884 01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:40.880 else that was really happening during this match. It does give sky Blue a 885 01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:44.119 win, right, she was not victorious on Saturday at Full Gear in the 886 01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:47.320 TBS title match. Julia Hart is the new TVs champion, but it gives 887 01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:51.119 her a win in her hometown. They were in Chicago, that's her hometown. 888 01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:56.360 And again it looks like she'll probably end up being Tony Storms first. 889 01:05:56.400 --> 01:06:00.960 Upon Tony Storm meets somebody to beat, why not Eyeblue. So that's where 890 01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:06.039 that looks to be going. But the thing with the Angelo Parker Ruby Soho 891 01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:13.440 stuff is it's the first time their angle has gotten any kind of play on 892 01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:17.360 Wednesday, which is the main show. This is a rampage angle. So 893 01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:21.119 I'm sure you have a number of people who are watching this and they're not 894 01:06:21.239 --> 01:06:26.079 really they haven't been following it, they haven't been keeping up with what's going 895 01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:30.239 on with Angelou Parker and Ruby Soho, and so they may not know what's 896 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:32.800 going on, but it's a rampage angle that for one night anyway, migrated 897 01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:41.119 over to Dynamite. Renee approached Wardlow backstage. Who happened to just be standing 898 01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:43.760 there. He was doing curls with a piece of equipment. I do that 899 01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:46.880 all the time randomly during the day. You know, I've been doing my 900 01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.800 notes here and trying to figure out what are we going to cover on the 901 01:06:50.840 --> 01:06:54.880 sound off this week, and I'll just randomly pick up a piece of furniture 902 01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:57.800 and start curling it. I mean, come on, you know what we 903 01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:04.599 do here, right, monster has to get his pump on somehow, so 904 01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:11.440 he's curling this piece of equipment and she asks, what are you waiting for 905 01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:15.519 when it comes to getting revenge on MJF? And Wardlow said the world doesn't 906 01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:20.679 revolve around MJF. From the Downfall of the Devil will be on his time 907 01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:27.280 aar Fox showed up and said Wardlow was putting the blame on everybody else, 908 01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:31.800 and Wardlow said he doesn't need advice from anybody, and he dropped Fox with 909 01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:35.119 a head button, because who the fuck is ar Fox to walk up to 910 01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:41.079 Wardlow and start giving him advice. The guy's a loser, who was the 911 01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:44.679 last match he won? The hell is Wardlow going to take advice from this 912 01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:47.360 guy? For if he was on a ten match winning streak. Okay, 913 01:07:47.360 --> 01:07:54.719 I could see that Wardlow could certainly use something. He's not going to be 914 01:07:54.800 --> 01:08:00.639 taking advice from R. Fox. The main event was the third and final 915 01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:08.679 Gold League match of the Continental Classic Here Tonight, first time ever one on 916 01:08:08.679 --> 01:08:15.039 one John Moxley and Mark Briscoe. They traded strikes early, with Briscoe firing 917 01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:19.199 off some redneck kung fu led to a drop kick through the ropes to Moxley 918 01:08:19.319 --> 01:08:24.520 on the floor, and that followed by a brisco blockbuster off the apron. 919 01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:29.600 So Moxley avoided a froggy bow after this, and then he booted Briscoe off 920 01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:32.680 the apron into the floor, which took us into the final picture and picture. 921 01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:38.520 During the break, Moxley busted brisco open and said, damn, it 922 01:08:38.560 --> 01:08:42.760 should have been me. Briscoe battled back with an inziguri and a thrush shot. 923 01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:45.640 Moxley exploded out of the corner, ran into an overhead brisco throw. 924 01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:51.000 Moxley countered a neck breaker into a choke. He transitioned into an arm breaker, 925 01:08:51.039 --> 01:08:56.079 but Briscoe got the ropes. Moxley cut off brisco in the ropes. 926 01:08:56.119 --> 01:09:01.479 Briscoe Bitmoxley and then dove right into a kick to the gut and a paradigm 927 01:09:01.520 --> 01:09:08.279 shift, which brisco No sold into a drop kick. Both men were down. 928 01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:12.760 Briscoe connected on a rolling death valley driver and then he hit the froggy 929 01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:16.119 bow only got a two count out of it. Brisco death Boxley with a 930 01:09:16.199 --> 01:09:19.920 lariat. He wanted a Jay driller, but Moxley hit a King Kong lariat 931 01:09:19.960 --> 01:09:24.960 and followed that with a death rider, and Mark Briscoe kicked out, and 932 01:09:25.039 --> 01:09:30.039 at that point the crowd came alive because they wanted to see Mark Briscoe do 933 01:09:30.159 --> 01:09:34.159 the impossible and pick up a win over the nearly unbeatable John Moxley. Now, 934 01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:39.479 John Moxley lost to Orange Cassidy on Saturday, but if you look at 935 01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:43.239 his career at aw his win lost record over the last two years, it's 936 01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:46.640 pretty fucking good. So they wanted to see Mark Briscoe pick up the upset 937 01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:48.920 win, which is what this would have been. This would have been an 938 01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:54.439 upset win. So they're rallying behind Mark brisco Moxley hits a half in half. 939 01:09:54.479 --> 01:09:59.600 Brisco rolls to his feet. It's into a forearm battle. Moxley cut 940 01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:02.279 the moment him off though with a curb stump and another death rider and he 941 01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:09.000 got the pin and he picks up the three points. Moxley then after the 942 01:10:09.039 --> 01:10:14.359 match was over, showed respect. Both men shook hands and Moxley celebrated and 943 01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:19.039 that took us off the air. So the Continental Classics standings now coming out 944 01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:24.399 of this show look like this. Three points go to Swerve, Strickland, 945 01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:29.960 Switchblade, Jay White, and John Moxley, Jay lethal Rousch and Mark Briscoe 946 01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:32.479 get no points, and that is where we are. I stand by what 947 01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:34.840 I said at the beginning. I think Mark Briscoe should have won. I 948 01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:38.880 think this was a mistake by Tony Kahan. I think you want to set 949 01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:41.840 the tone early in a tournament like this. You want people to think, 950 01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:45.119 Okay, maybe there will be some upsets in this tournament. Not many people 951 01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:49.439 would have picked Mark Briscoe to beat John Moxley in the main event of this 952 01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:54.840 show. Doesn't hurt John Moxley in the least. If anything, it puts 953 01:10:54.920 --> 01:10:58.079 him behind. Now he's got to work that much harder to rack up points 954 01:10:58.079 --> 01:11:00.760 if he wants to try to get to the finals. So I think that 955 01:11:00.880 --> 01:11:04.880 was a mistake. I think the other outcomes were predictable and they were fine. 956 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:08.560 I think Swerve winning was fine. I think Jay White winning was the 957 01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:13.680 right choice, but I think Moxley should have taken the loss in this match. 958 01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:19.000 If John Moxley can lose to fucking Toriano years ago in New Japan, 959 01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:23.520 he can lose to Mark Brisco here in the main event of this tournament on 960 01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:29.960 Dynamite. That was a mistake. Now, because of the holiday weekend, 961 01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:35.399 Rampage is being bumped. Rampage is being bumped to Saturday at seven o'clock, 962 01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:43.199 which means is a three hour block of AW one Saturday, most of which 963 01:11:43.279 --> 01:11:46.880 is going to be head to head with Survivor Series. This will not end 964 01:11:46.920 --> 01:11:51.560 well for AAW It does not usually end well when they're up against the WWE 965 01:11:51.560 --> 01:11:56.800 pay per view. This will be no different, but not much they can 966 01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:00.600 do. That's just the nature of the schedule. The Wave falls now Rampage 967 01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:05.479 and Collision. This Saturday, we have Daniel Garcia against Claudio Castignoli in the 968 01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:11.960 Continental Classic Blue League match Eddie Kingston one on one with Brody king That's the 969 01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:17.840 other Continental Classic Blue League match. Take a look at the Twitter poll Dynamite 970 01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:26.319 so far clocking in with a seventy two percent score thumbs up and twenty seven 971 01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:30.840 point seven percent thumbs down. Of course, you can vote as always on 972 01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:35.880 Twitter at solo monster. All right, let's take a look at your super 973 01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:43.000 chats here. Get them on in because I'm going to zip on through this 974 01:12:43.079 --> 01:12:45.720 right now. I want to thank you guys for hanging out with me, 975 01:12:46.079 --> 01:12:49.319 well eight hundred plus here with me on Thanksgiving Eve. I love it. 976 01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:57.359 Thank you for spending part of your holiday with me. Let's kick things off 977 01:12:57.359 --> 01:13:05.600 here with Steve Joseph, who dropped a five spot and said Solomonster Paul and 978 01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:11.760 Oates. No, did you hear the story about the restraint? Yes? 979 01:13:11.800 --> 01:13:15.960 I did. I think it's only one one restraining order. I believe it's 980 01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:18.039 from Hall. I think Daryl Hall is the one who filed the restraining order 981 01:13:18.800 --> 01:13:24.239 against the John Oates. Yes, I'm devastating. I'm gonna be sitting a 982 01:13:24.359 --> 01:13:29.520 visual lighting candles, a little prayer circle, hoping they get back together and 983 01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:33.000 they resolve their issues. You know, they're getting older. Daryl Hall doesn't 984 01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:36.640 look it, but he's like eighty years old. I mean he's getting up 985 01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:42.840 there. Like I hate hearing stuff like this. I hate hearing this. 986 01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:48.600 Brother Buff Salisbury, Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Do you think that we 987 01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:57.439 will get the team of Van Damn Housen at least once in AW. Yeah, 988 01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:03.119 maybe why not. They'll pay RVD. I'm sure he'll come in and 989 01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:09.279 do whatever they want him to do. Lady fire Panda with the twenty bucks 990 01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:13.399 say, Fire Panda, thank you again for those gifted memberships. Between Fire 991 01:14:13.439 --> 01:14:16.159 Panda and Silver Tower alone, we are getting back closer to where we were 992 01:14:16.199 --> 01:14:23.279 previously, so keep it up. Who would you trust more to tell the 993 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:28.640 truth if your life depended on it. Vince McMahon or Hulk Hogan. Vince 994 01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:35.479 McMahon. Daddy Ball says Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. 995 01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:43.159 Laker's Pat says, do the Prince Nana dance? I did all my dancing 996 01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:48.119 in that opening intro. We'll danced out. Maybe I'll do the Prince Nana 997 01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:50.760 dance at House of Glory next week when he comes in. Would swork? 998 01:14:50.960 --> 01:14:56.039 Maybe I'll do it there. John Doe thirty four. I'm tired of seeing 999 01:14:56.119 --> 01:15:00.920 Ring of Honor titles and mentions on AW programming. And number two, I 1000 01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:05.680 want to see Solomaster against Tyrus at all in Wembley. You couldn't pay me 1001 01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:13.319 enough, although all I would have to do really is just outrun him and 1002 01:15:13.319 --> 01:15:16.159 eventually he'll just get so winded that he'll collapse and that I can just cover 1003 01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:23.279 him in pinom Paul Carpenter Hall versus Oates. I can't go for that, 1004 01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:30.199 uh, Nick Grosso. I really liked the Christian cage segment after what Adam 1005 01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:34.079 Copeland did. Do you see Mama Wayne turning heel? I believe I do? 1006 01:15:35.239 --> 01:15:40.600 I believe I do. Why do we keep seeing her? Why would 1007 01:15:40.600 --> 01:15:45.319 she come out here? Right? Unless this was leading to something, I 1008 01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:48.960 wouldn't be surprised if they do the initial Adam Copeland Christian cage match, and 1009 01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:55.840 actually Nick Wayne's mom factors into it in some way because she had to sit 1010 01:15:55.880 --> 01:16:00.800 in the corner and watch her son get brutalized by this man. That right 1011 01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:08.560 there could be the impetus behind her costing Copeland a win against Christian. I 1012 01:16:08.560 --> 01:16:15.399 think that's where this is going. Oh boy, look look who just showed 1013 01:16:15.479 --> 01:16:23.239 up? Look who just showed up? And gifty fifty more channel memberships. 1014 01:16:23.279 --> 01:16:27.720 If I had the bat signal right now, I would be shining it. 1015 01:16:27.720 --> 01:16:38.199 It is silver Tower. Look at all of these new members mission impossible reviews. 1016 01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:42.279 You could also buy a membership. I'm just saying, but yeah, 1017 01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:45.439 these are rent I am Batman is now a member. I just mentioned the 1018 01:16:45.439 --> 01:16:46.600 bat signal, and look at this, we have a new member. I 1019 01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:55.199 Am Batman. Could not have timed that any better. We got a lot 1020 01:16:55.239 --> 01:17:01.560 of new GWO members throw up the sign well the im on in Rojo Bet 1021 01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:06.000 says Swerve is my pick to win the Continental Classic and is the more logical 1022 01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:13.840 choice. I would agree. Again, I would prefer that he focus his 1023 01:17:14.920 --> 01:17:16.479 sights on the world title. I don't see that happening if he's going to 1024 01:17:16.520 --> 01:17:21.760 be running around with the Triple Crown defending it in different places. But if 1025 01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:27.720 he's not in the world title mix, you know again in their world title 1026 01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:31.760 plans in the near future, then it should be him. You've got to 1027 01:17:31.840 --> 01:17:35.920 keep the momentum going. You have to capitalize on these two big wins somehow, 1028 01:17:36.560 --> 01:17:40.760 and this would be the likeliest way for them to do that. Plus 1029 01:17:40.800 --> 01:17:43.880 it gets him in a big match at world's end. If it's Danielson in 1030 01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:46.760 Swerve, which is what I would have as the final, that's a hell 1031 01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:50.600 of a match. And he's got two straight wins over Hangman Paige. Now 1032 01:17:50.640 --> 01:17:55.039 imagine him going in there and getting a win over Brian Danielson, who's turning 1033 01:17:55.079 --> 01:17:59.479 around. I think less than a week later, he's going to the Tokyo 1034 01:17:59.560 --> 01:18:03.399 Dome Slokata and you have swerved beat dangleson at world's end. That'd be huge, 1035 01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:12.760 fright, huge, huge, Silver Tower says on my commute home, 1036 01:18:13.600 --> 01:18:16.399 yeat Well, apparently Silver Tower just got home. I guess maybe he just 1037 01:18:16.439 --> 01:18:24.279 walked in the door and gifted fifty more, Hey, Silver Tower thing domination 1038 01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:29.880 Warrior? Would you whoop that trick or swerve when you drive? I definitely 1039 01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:31.880 don't swerve when I drive, but I've been on the road with other people 1040 01:18:31.920 --> 01:18:38.199 who do. I know Jeff Hardy certainly has I would whoop that trick. 1041 01:18:39.439 --> 01:18:43.960 That's what I would be doing. You're not gonna catch me swerving. Face 1042 01:18:44.039 --> 01:18:46.720 Beer says, Woo. Energy is in that mug? Uh you got me? 1043 01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:50.520 H? You just you just figured out what's in this mug? We 1044 01:18:50.600 --> 01:19:00.880 got We got mushrooms galore in here. Of course they're they're functional. They're 1045 01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:11.079 functional. They're not psychedelic or are they pick Grosso with the nineteen ninety nine. 1046 01:19:11.199 --> 01:19:14.359 After tonight, I am more convinced than ever that Adam Cole is the 1047 01:19:14.439 --> 01:19:16.760 devil. Right before the lights went out, Cole reached into his pot. 1048 01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:21.680 There you go, there you go into his pocket to trigger the tron. 1049 01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:27.960 See, I disagree with you on that last point, though I do think 1050 01:19:27.960 --> 01:19:30.880 the injury is serious. I do think he's gonna be out for a while. 1051 01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:34.760 He could be the devil. They're going to do everything in their power 1052 01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:38.760 to prolong it. But see, I told you that he had his hand 1053 01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:42.880 in his pocket, and unless he was playing pocket pool, I think there 1054 01:19:42.960 --> 01:19:46.439 was a reason for them. He would explain why that video came up at 1055 01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:53.439 that exact moment. Brandon Walker, thank you very much. It's a very 1056 01:19:53.520 --> 01:19:57.119 kind comment of you. Appreciate that. I posted a video on my Twitter 1057 01:19:57.359 --> 01:20:01.159 and on Facebook. Video I put together a few years ago after my mother 1058 01:20:01.279 --> 01:20:06.439 passed away, because I've digitized all of you know, we have family VHS 1059 01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:12.720 tapes and old birthday parties and stuff. And I bought an El Gatto video 1060 01:20:12.840 --> 01:20:16.119 capture card years ago and I've used it to convert a lot of things. 1061 01:20:16.119 --> 01:20:20.039 But I've converted all the family stuff. I put together a video and I 1062 01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:26.920 post it every year and always brings a smile to my face. That's up 1063 01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:28.520 there. If you didn't see it. If you want to take a look 1064 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:31.800 at that. Peter Cordieri says Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, 1065 01:20:31.920 --> 01:20:38.000 Jessica Hermann with the five dollars super jet, Happy Turkey Day.

You fall into one camp over the other before you fall 1070 01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:05.560 into Naya's hole, and then there's no getting out. It's like a black 1071 01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:12.119 hole. Once you fall in, that's it. You're done. Plus Ultra 1072 01:21:12.239 --> 01:21:15.960 Adrian with a ten dollars super Chat. Sorry, I haven't been here in 1073 01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:18.000 a while.

I'm gonna gorge I'm gonna skip 1078 01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:38.560 lunch, by the way, I'm gonna fast between breakfast and dinner, because 1079 01:21:38.600 --> 01:21:42.399 I just know I'm gonna stuff myself. I'm not gonna be able to close 1080 01:21:42.439 --> 01:21:48.039 my belt. Awful, it's so disgusting, But I'm going to enjoy myself. 1081 01:21:49.880 --> 01:21:58.199 I hope you do too. Deontae Swanier, where are we by the 1082 01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:00.920 way on the lights? Be the book? Oh or three fifty? Yeah? 1083 01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:03.960 Not looking good. I thought we were gonna get, you know, 1084 01:22:03.960 --> 01:22:09.119 a nice little Thanksgiving Eve edition to be the booker. But it's not looking 1085 01:22:09.159 --> 01:22:14.199 good. Deontae swanie Happy Thanksgiving solo all love my friend. Thank you for 1086 01:22:14.279 --> 01:22:19.000 always being funny and knowledgeable. Skyblue won a match, so my celebration starts 1087 01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:26.119 early. You go, you go. Now you can celebrate and have a 1088 01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:34.600 drink with your cake. Sean Dee with the five bucks says, but what 1089 01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:40.119 if you need to suck something? Can we get on our knees? Then 1090 01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:45.000 what are we supposed to do? Then lie on our backs? I think 1091 01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:51.039 not. Hey, whatever you do in your home is your business. Some 1092 01:22:51.079 --> 01:22:56.279 people are more flexible than others. Some people can do it upside down. 1093 01:22:56.479 --> 01:23:00.439 I wouldn't know, but hey, you do you. I'm just saying, 1094 01:23:00.479 --> 01:23:03.600 don't ever let anybody tell you to get on your knees unless you want it. 1095 01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:15.079 Arabian Nights swerve against j White first time ever will be awesome. Roberto 1096 01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:20.560 Benet twenty twenty three. I'm not even a Christian fan and this is the 1097 01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:29.279 best work he has ever done. Absolutely absolute. Jacob Donnelly bre Moode has 1098 01:23:29.319 --> 01:23:33.079 been activated. Happy Thanksgiving, Well it wouldn't be Thanksgiving, I guess with 1099 01:23:33.159 --> 01:23:39.159 that, Bremode. Thank you, Jacob, have that very happy Turkey Day. 1100 01:23:40.119 --> 01:23:45.079 Dylan Hensley with the ten dollars super Chat. Big news from AAPW. 1101 01:23:45.760 --> 01:23:49.159 We struck a deal with Roku, so our shows will soon reach a bigger 1102 01:23:49.199 --> 01:23:54.640 audience and cement us as a major league promotion in Texas. Looks like I 1103 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:59.960 joined AAPW at the right time. We'll congratulations you let me know when it's 1104 01:24:00.199 --> 01:24:01.840 there and if you are ever on there? How cool would it be? 1105 01:24:01.880 --> 01:24:05.600 You know, Dylan's been checking in with es for months at wrestling school, 1106 01:24:05.720 --> 01:24:10.720 letting us know like what he's been learning, and you know, drills and 1107 01:24:10.760 --> 01:24:14.039 all kinds of stuff that he's been doing. And how cool would it be 1108 01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:16.640 if if you know, one day we'll we'll be able to put Roku on 1109 01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:27.239 and there there he is coming off the top rope. That's awesome. Arabian 1110 01:24:27.359 --> 01:24:30.520 night. Hope Joe wins. He has not been a world champion since two 1111 01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:39.560 thousand and eight. Yeah, that's criminal, that's criminal, absolutely criminal, 1112 01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:44.079 wild Bird. I want to drop by and say Happy Thanksgiving to you, 1113 01:24:44.199 --> 01:24:47.319 Sola Monster. Enjoyed the delicious turkey, the stuffing and the peak dan Pot. 1114 01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:54.520 Wild Bird, you have been pardoned. I would think that Thanksgiving is 1115 01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:59.119 probably your least favorite holiday. You know, kind of scary, right, 1116 01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:08.119 w pardon so you're safe. Rizzo, I'm sorry about Hall and Oates. 1117 01:25:08.920 --> 01:25:13.239 Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the chat, and also go Lions. 1118 01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:19.079 Bace Beers says, buy or sell mis beating seen at WrestleMania or Warrior 1119 01:25:19.119 --> 01:25:28.479 beating Hogan at WrestleMania Warrior beating Hogan? Are you comparing the Are you comparing 1120 01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:36.119 the two magics? Are you drunk? Also buy or sell Dingo Warrior or 1121 01:25:36.199 --> 01:25:43.039 Miss two thousand and six. I didn't watch Dingo Warriors, so I didn't 1122 01:25:43.079 --> 01:25:45.399 have world Class. I wasn't watching him before he came to WWE, So 1123 01:25:47.319 --> 01:25:53.039 I'll go misso six, although I don't really care for either one shout outs 1124 01:25:53.079 --> 01:25:58.680 the Silver Tower Fire, Panda, Groovy Goose, Doctor Scorpio, gwo and 1125 01:25:58.720 --> 01:26:05.920 everybody else. Happy thing. Same to you Andreeque Gotti. And you do 1126 01:26:05.960 --> 01:26:14.680 the pre again with the Prince Nana it. You're asking me if I can 1127 01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:16.199 do it. I can't. I can't do it like Noana. No, 1128 01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:23.600 I've tried. I failed. It's totally uncool when I do it, when 1129 01:26:23.640 --> 01:26:27.359 he does it, it's just spot up. I feel like I would be 1130 01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:32.039 soiling it if I even attempted to do it. Sean Dee. Does the 1131 01:26:32.159 --> 01:26:38.920 NXT title not count as a world title according to WWE? I don't believe 1132 01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:44.079 it does. No, I don't believe so, And I don't think the 1133 01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:49.199 WWE counts Charlotte Charlotte's NXT title runs as part of her total. Maybe they 1134 01:26:49.239 --> 01:26:53.600 do, I don't know, but I didn't think they counted them as part 1135 01:26:53.640 --> 01:27:00.880 of her overall total. So I would say, but again, some people 1136 01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:11.640 might bliss fan Friendship Frog died three years ago today, only you would know 1137 01:27:11.680 --> 01:27:16.239 that that's an incredible piece of trivia. I had completely forgotten about Friendship Frog, 1138 01:27:17.720 --> 01:27:21.520 and the fact that you know that Friendship Frog died three years ago to 1139 01:27:21.600 --> 01:27:30.000 this day is incredible to me. I feel like if Bliss fan was ever 1140 01:27:30.039 --> 01:27:40.319 on a wrestling version of Jeopardy and they had a Bray Wyatt or Alexa Bliss 1141 01:27:40.319 --> 01:27:43.880 category, he would run the board. I mean it wouldn't even like nobody 1142 01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:45.880 else on that stage would have a chance, Like, they wouldn't even they 1143 01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:49.439 wouldn't be able to get their thumb on the buzzer quick enough. He would 1144 01:27:49.520 --> 01:27:54.600 just wipe out the entire category. But I don't know if he would be 1145 01:27:54.680 --> 01:27:57.520 able to answer any of the other questions, Like I could see him going 1146 01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:00.800 oh for sixty like Becky Lynch did it apparently on Celebrity Jeopardy. But if 1147 01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:09.560 they had that category, he would smoke everybody on stage. Bass Beer has 1148 01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:16.880 got of seduction with the nineteen ninety two and Arabian Night. Could you see 1149 01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:24.079 Camille signing with WWE when her deal ends next month? With the nwawwe could 1150 01:28:24.439 --> 01:28:29.359 be getting her and Julius soon. Also, Rouse is underrated. Yeah, 1151 01:28:29.359 --> 01:28:32.000 Camille apparently is going to be a free agent very soon. I don't see 1152 01:28:32.039 --> 01:28:35.479 her going to WWE. I think WWE has enough right now. I mean, 1153 01:28:35.840 --> 01:28:41.039 she's like she's a powerhouse right well, they just sign one in j 1154 01:28:42.399 --> 01:28:47.960 I think that Camille ends up with Impact. I think Camille ends up in 1155 01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:53.800 the knockouts division, and then maybe eventually in aw there's a better chance of 1156 01:28:53.840 --> 01:29:00.399 that happening. Rumplemaine says, maybe TK is the day I ran that down 1157 01:29:00.439 --> 01:29:04.840 as a possibility when I the whole clip is on YouTube Who the hell is 1158 01:29:04.880 --> 01:29:09.279 the Devil? And I ran down all the possibilities of who it could be, 1159 01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:15.479 Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Jack Perry, we put Dob Ziggler, 1160 01:29:16.239 --> 01:29:20.079 And then I said, what if Tony Kahan was the devil? How terrible? 1161 01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:24.560 How awful? Would that be? Right? I just kind of threw 1162 01:29:24.600 --> 01:29:30.079 the name out there as a possibility that would be awful, that would be 1163 01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:45.880 off the Winston slip forgetting the name of TJ. That's not unusual. Again, 1164 01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:50.279 I knew it was Tom something I just couldn't, just couldn't. It 1165 01:29:50.319 --> 01:29:57.039 was right there and I just couldn't figure it out. And Andre Israel wants 1166 01:29:57.079 --> 01:30:00.960 to send a very happy Thanksgiving shout out to the entire Green World Order that 1167 01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:06.920 we have here in our chat, So happy Thanksgiving to the GWO. Let 1168 01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:13.600 me make sure that I have nailed all of the super chats, and I 1169 01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:23.520 believe I am all caught up. Bace Bears says, Bray once killed Rambling 1170 01:30:23.640 --> 01:30:26.880 Rabbit. That was a dark promo. Oh yeah, he he murdered him 1171 01:30:26.920 --> 01:30:29.199 with the hammer, right, with that giant hammer. I remember that. 1172 01:30:30.640 --> 01:30:34.840 Yeah, there was a lot of very disturbing shit that came out of some 1173 01:30:34.960 --> 01:30:42.239 of those Firefly Funhouse promo segments. All right, so we are all caught 1174 01:30:42.279 --> 01:30:45.359 up. Very good. Well, thank you guys. Matt Riddle cut his 1175 01:30:45.439 --> 01:30:51.880 hair. He Matt Riddle cut his hair. Is there a picture of this? 1176 01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:00.399 Well, hey, you know, sometimes you changed things up a little 1177 01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:03.159 bit. It's not the worst thing in the world that you could be doing. 1178 01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:08.079 Let mean, case in point, you saw that covid hair from the 1179 01:31:08.359 --> 01:31:11.159 classic clip that I played earlier. Right, to go from that to this, 1180 01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:16.960 it's a big improvement, big improvement. All right, I am told, 1181 01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:26.239 I'm told that we have just hit four three on the Like, why 1182 01:31:26.239 --> 01:31:30.760 did it take this long? You disappoint me? This is it right here, 1183 01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:33.840 This is all you need. Boom thumbs up. It's not that hard, 1184 01:31:34.239 --> 01:31:39.840 you disappoint me. But we got there. We got there, so 1185 01:31:39.880 --> 01:31:43.479 that's all. That's all the matters. We got there, So let's go 1186 01:31:43.479 --> 01:31:45.960 ahead and be the booker before we get on at it. Ladies and gentlemen, 1187 01:31:46.279 --> 01:31:54.079 it is now time to be the booker. One more round. Be 1188 01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:59.159 the booker here Thanksgiving edition, before we head into the holiday, and we 1189 01:31:59.239 --> 01:32:01.880 will kick things off here with a tag team match. You guys know how 1190 01:32:01.880 --> 01:32:05.159 this works. We start with the tag match, we book a women's match, 1191 01:32:05.199 --> 01:32:08.439 we book a singles match. That way, we cover all of our 1192 01:32:08.439 --> 01:32:15.880 bases, cover all the bases, and we begin with the North. We 1193 01:32:15.039 --> 01:32:27.119 just picked them the other day, Ethan Page and Josh Alexander, perfectly capable 1194 01:32:27.199 --> 01:32:34.479 tag team. But we already picked them just a few days ago. It's 1195 01:32:34.479 --> 01:32:40.720 gonna be the North. Didn't we just book this exact match the other day. 1196 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:45.680 It's a great match, don't get me wrong, But I thought we 1197 01:32:45.760 --> 01:32:48.800 booked this exact match the other day, the American Wolves Davey Richards and Eddie 1198 01:32:48.920 --> 01:32:56.319 Edwards against the North. I think we booked our first rematch. Here on, 1199 01:32:56.439 --> 01:33:00.720 be the booker. I'm morphing into Vince McMahon. It's gonna be a 1200 01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:03.479 series of rematches. I'm be the booker. I don't want this to turn 1201 01:33:03.520 --> 01:33:08.680 into rematch amania. I'm trying to book some unique matches here. Come on, 1202 01:33:08.760 --> 01:33:15.039 now still though, gets the bell. So we're we're off to a 1203 01:33:15.079 --> 01:33:16.520 good start, all right. Here we go, ladies, be the booker. 1204 01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:28.119 We begin with timeless Tony Storm. Yes, the reigning AW Women's World 1205 01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:46.920 champion. Look at it, she's timeless timeless Tony Storm and Rihea Ripley. 1206 01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:55.479 I need a minute. What a match? What a match? Rear Ripley 1207 01:33:55.960 --> 01:34:08.720 and timeless Tony Storm. So the reigning AW World champion against the reigning World 1208 01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:14.199 Heavyweight champion on Monday night? Row, how's that? How's that for a 1209 01:34:14.279 --> 01:34:15.479 match? Right? You want to book a women's match? There you go. 1210 01:34:16.520 --> 01:34:25.600 That's how you do it. That's how you do it. And now 1211 01:34:25.680 --> 01:34:33.800 on the men's side, we begin with Batista, the Animal, Dave Bautista, 1212 01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:44.520 and Dave Bautista is going to be going one on one. We should 1213 01:34:44.520 --> 01:34:53.039 get a drum roll for this. There we go, Dave Bautista one on 1214 01:34:53.039 --> 01:35:05.479 one with Al Snow. You know the same Al Snow who once said famously 1215 01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:15.199 the only good wrestling matches are the ones that drew money, to which one 1216 01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:18.920 fan replied and said, by that logic, could you say that you yourself 1217 01:35:19.760 --> 01:35:27.039 have never had a good match in your entire career? Still the sickest burn 1218 01:35:27.479 --> 01:35:35.000 that I have ever heard. Batista against al Snow and Head. See the 1219 01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:41.800 thing about Head is Head can't get on her knees because she's got no legs. 1220 01:35:42.760 --> 01:35:45.319 Anyway, we almost did it. We almost went for a clean sweet, 1221 01:35:45.359 --> 01:35:50.520 but unfortunately we felt just a little bit short. Two out of three 1222 01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:56.680 is not terrible. Two out of three is very good. But Batista against 1223 01:35:56.680 --> 01:36:00.560 Al Snow is definitely not the match I was looking to book in main event. 1224 01:36:02.279 --> 01:36:10.560 RUMPELMANE Rumple Maine. Just your super chat just disappeared. The chat is 1225 01:36:10.600 --> 01:36:15.199 moving way too fast. Let me make sure I'm not missing anything. Here, 1226 01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:16.720 Here we go. We'll get to you in a second. Doctor Bropio, 1227 01:36:17.399 --> 01:36:23.439 Doctor Bropio. What if the devil is evil and his torture grew? 1228 01:36:23.520 --> 01:36:28.840 Oh no, don't even don't even joke about that. Don't even joke about 1229 01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:35.680 that. The house of torture evil, That would be from the sixth circle 1230 01:36:35.720 --> 01:36:43.720 of Hell. No, it's not evil. Can't be. It can't be, 1231 01:36:45.199 --> 01:36:54.960 It can't be. Libido Bell says, I got a girlfriend and lost 1232 01:36:55.000 --> 01:37:00.119 her in a span of three weeks. Don't date your coworker. She broke 1233 01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:04.319 up with me and is more upset than I am. No, wait, 1234 01:37:04.479 --> 01:37:10.000 she broke up with me and is more upset than I am. The dish 1235 01:37:10.039 --> 01:37:15.560 track I made didn't help. Well, you did learn a very valuable lesson. 1236 01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:23.199 I will say that is good advice not to date your coworker. Not 1237 01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:27.439 that people have not had success dating their coworker before, but generally speaking, 1238 01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:30.319 it probably is not a good move. But I'm very sorry to hear that 1239 01:37:30.319 --> 01:37:34.800 that sucks. The only thing I could say is it happened in the span 1240 01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:41.079 of three weeks, So look, that's not a long time Billieve me, 1241 01:37:41.159 --> 01:37:45.479 you can. You're gonna end up doing a lot better than her. Her 1242 01:37:45.520 --> 01:37:50.359 loss, that's right, her loss three weeks, shake it off, Shake 1243 01:37:50.399 --> 01:37:53.760 it off, and move on. That's the best advice I can give you. 1244 01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:59.920 Wasn't, by the way, in three weeks girlfriend, I don't know. 1245 01:38:00.000 --> 01:38:02.279 I don't know if I would use that word three weeks. It's more 1246 01:38:02.319 --> 01:38:06.279 like a mutual acquaintance. You gotta go a little bit longer before you can 1247 01:38:06.319 --> 01:38:13.199 say we're officially in a relationship. Is it really a relationship? Though? 1248 01:38:13.239 --> 01:38:19.920 After three weeks, I am intrigued by the idea though that there is a 1249 01:38:20.039 --> 01:38:24.800 dish track, I'm not gonna lie. I would like to hear that. 1250 01:38:29.680 --> 01:38:33.199 Yeah, it's especially bad if you work in an office that's smaller. I 1251 01:38:33.239 --> 01:38:35.960 feel like, if you work for a big company and you have like hundreds 1252 01:38:36.000 --> 01:38:42.279 of employees or multiple offices, not that it makes it any better, but 1253 01:38:42.640 --> 01:38:45.960 that's different. But if you work in a small office, you're taking a 1254 01:38:46.000 --> 01:38:50.159 real risk. Right, things go wrong. It's just very awkward. Now 1255 01:38:50.159 --> 01:38:53.880 you gotta go in, you gotta see them every day. It's like, 1256 01:38:53.960 --> 01:38:59.399 oh my god, you know, who needs that? Who needs that? 1257 01:39:00.680 --> 01:39:08.520 Just not a good idea. Hoffman says, a month equals a relationship. 1258 01:39:11.239 --> 01:39:15.319 Yeah, I think a month. A month sounds about right. Even a 1259 01:39:15.359 --> 01:39:19.079 month though, uh month, I don't know. Even a month seems a 1260 01:39:19.079 --> 01:39:23.680 little short. But I can live with that. I can live with a 1261 01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:30.800 month. If you work in different departments, that could work. Yeah, 1262 01:39:30.840 --> 01:39:33.600 Like I said, I mean, if it's a small office where you have 1263 01:39:33.680 --> 01:39:36.479 to come in and see that person every day. If it's the girl at 1264 01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:40.560 the front desk and you come into the office every single day, in the 1265 01:39:40.560 --> 01:39:45.800 first face you see is her face, Like, it's fucking terrible. You're 1266 01:39:45.840 --> 01:39:48.159 gonna come into work every day and you're gonna have to see each other, 1267 01:39:48.199 --> 01:39:51.920 and it's gonna be so awkward and it's gonna be so uncomfortable if it didn't 1268 01:39:53.000 --> 01:39:56.720 end right. So it's like, don't even take the chance. But if 1269 01:39:56.760 --> 01:40:00.199 you work in a different department, yeah, all right, whatever doesn't go 1270 01:40:00.279 --> 01:40:05.520 right, all right, I'll go from you know, men's pants to women's 1271 01:40:05.560 --> 01:40:09.760 bras or whatever. If you work like in a department store, let's say, 1272 01:40:09.880 --> 01:40:14.479 right, I work at the jewelry counter at Macy's. Right, me 1273 01:40:14.560 --> 01:40:16.680 and the girl that I work with, we got drunk one night. I 1274 01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:19.800 went back to her place. YadA, YadA, YadA. Didn't work out. 1275 01:40:21.159 --> 01:40:24.479 Now I have to come to work and see her. Yeah, fuck 1276 01:40:24.479 --> 01:40:27.439 it, I'm gonna go work in the Glasswaars department. Right, there's always 1277 01:40:27.439 --> 01:40:30.039 ways around it. But if you're in an office and you have like five 1278 01:40:30.079 --> 01:40:34.279 people in the office, you're fucked. You better start sending your resume out. 1279 01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:45.000 Who needs to deal with that? Met my wife working together at Walmart. 1280 01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:54.600 But understand because my ex worker is there too. Walmart's a big place, 1281 01:40:54.640 --> 01:41:00.279 though, my god, one Walmart is like two different worlds. Yeah, 1282 01:41:00.119 --> 01:41:02.680 you could work on one side of the Walmart and then the other one 1283 01:41:02.720 --> 01:41:04.800 works on the other side. You never even have to see each other. 1284 01:41:08.720 --> 01:41:15.840 Is Cloverfield the best monster movie? It's definitely one of my favorites. I 1285 01:41:15.880 --> 01:41:19.319 know some people aren't a big fan of it. Some people might go old 1286 01:41:19.319 --> 01:41:24.560 school, you know, Godzilla. I was never a Godzilla guy. Honestly, 1287 01:41:25.119 --> 01:41:29.079 I'm a Cloverfield guy. And I believe that they're working on a proper 1288 01:41:29.119 --> 01:41:31.319 sequel now, so that has me very exciting now that the strike is over, 1289 01:41:31.359 --> 01:41:40.760 hopefully we'll hear something about it soon. It's awkward, though, because 1290 01:41:40.760 --> 01:41:47.079 at one point my wife was my ex's boss. It's dangerous, that's what 1291 01:41:47.119 --> 01:41:57.560 that is. I met Santina Morella and his daughter, Arianna Grace from NXT 1292 01:41:57.760 --> 01:42:00.840 today. They were really cool. Didn't know she was his kid. Yeah, 1293 01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:02.760 Oh no, he talks about her all the time. I heard about 1294 01:42:02.760 --> 01:42:08.680 her even before she signed with WWE. I think she was training. He 1295 01:42:08.840 --> 01:42:12.920 had a school. I think maybe she was training there. But I think 1296 01:42:12.960 --> 01:42:18.520 she's been in some pageants, like beauty pageants, and she's a beautiful girl. 1297 01:42:20.239 --> 01:42:25.239 But yeah, no, he talks her up a lot, so I 1298 01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:30.680 knew that. I knew that for a while. By the way, we 1299 01:42:30.720 --> 01:42:35.520 have reached the AMA portion of the stream, so before we wrap up. 1300 01:42:35.520 --> 01:42:39.840 If you've got questions laying on me, I'll see a rapid fire. I'll 1301 01:42:39.840 --> 01:42:41.720 see if I can answer them here. Before we get out of here, 1302 01:42:41.760 --> 01:42:45.239 we'll have some fun. Libido Bell tweeted the song for you. Okay, 1303 01:42:45.239 --> 01:42:47.119 So Libido Bell tweeted the dish track to me. I wish I could play 1304 01:42:47.119 --> 01:42:51.680 it, but probably legally right music, I can't play it on here, 1305 01:42:51.760 --> 01:43:00.439 so I will check that out after though. The girl from screen even got 1306 01:43:00.479 --> 01:43:03.600 fired, so there's no more sam oh yeah, j oh god. What's 1307 01:43:03.600 --> 01:43:06.960 her name? Jenna? Jenna or Tega? I think? Or so? 1308 01:43:08.039 --> 01:43:12.680 What happened there? I think one got fired, another one walked off the 1309 01:43:12.720 --> 01:43:16.000 studios basically destroyed the movie. They're not gonna get Nev Campbell back. She 1310 01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:20.199 basically told them to fuck off after the last one. Write something about the 1311 01:43:20.239 --> 01:43:25.479 pay scale or something. I'd be shocked if they convinced her to come back. 1312 01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:30.960 They basically just screwed over the entire franchise now, So good job there, 1313 01:43:33.239 --> 01:43:39.920 idiots. Bace Beers says Dominic should shave his head. Are you kidding 1314 01:43:39.960 --> 01:43:43.600 me? He's got that wonderful mullet going on. You gotta save that for 1315 01:43:43.640 --> 01:43:48.079 a hair mag a WrestleMania, ray Masterio against the Dominic hair against masks. 1316 01:43:48.119 --> 01:43:51.600 The only thing is it's gonna be Mysterio and Escobar, probably at WrestleMania. 1317 01:43:53.079 --> 01:43:57.560 So I don't know when they do Rayan Dominic again, maybe at WrestleMania forty 1318 01:43:57.560 --> 01:44:00.199 one. By then his hair will be down to his fucking ass. This 1319 01:44:00.239 --> 01:44:09.920 guy can't believe how long it is. Mandy Rose says that she's returning to 1320 01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:13.600 wrestling in twenty twenty four. What kind of wrestling there she can specify. 1321 01:44:13.640 --> 01:44:21.479 It could be mud wrestling. I look just like my grandfather. I've had 1322 01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:24.760 a lot of people tell me that, yeah, because there's a picture in 1323 01:44:24.800 --> 01:44:27.800 that video I put up on my Twitter, the video I did for my 1324 01:44:27.840 --> 01:44:30.159 mom for her birthday, and there is a photo in there of my mother 1325 01:44:31.479 --> 01:44:36.199 with her father, my grandfather, And now I've had a lot of people 1326 01:44:36.239 --> 01:44:41.920 tell me I look just like him. I wish I had more memories with 1327 01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:49.880 him. My brother has none because when my grandfather passed away, my gosh, 1328 01:44:49.880 --> 01:44:57.039 when my grandfather passed away, my brother was six months old. I 1329 01:44:57.239 --> 01:45:00.800 was five, So I have some memories with him, but he passed away 1330 01:45:00.880 --> 01:45:09.319 in eighty seven. He was only fifty five. So I wish I had 1331 01:45:09.359 --> 01:45:14.279 more time with him, more memories with him. Unfortunately, though I don't. 1332 01:45:16.920 --> 01:45:23.000 Will Roman be at Survivor series, No, no, he will not. 1333 01:45:25.520 --> 01:45:29.079 Did they fix the messed up ceiling? They did? And we had 1334 01:45:29.079 --> 01:45:32.159 our first big downpour overnight, a lot of rain in New York and it 1335 01:45:32.279 --> 01:45:40.279 held up. So knock on wood, hopefully it stays that way. Steve, 1336 01:45:40.399 --> 01:45:43.560 thank you, congratulations, he says on sixteen years. Well, you've 1337 01:45:43.560 --> 01:45:45.279 become a very big part of that, so I must thank you as well. 1338 01:45:46.119 --> 01:45:54.239 But I appreciate that. Shout out to Steve mellow bass beer is what 1339 01:45:54.279 --> 01:45:59.640 are you getting for Black Friday? A toaster? I don't need a toaster, 1340 01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:01.520 toaster of it? It burned out. Now I have an air fryer. 1341 01:46:03.800 --> 01:46:09.319 My first air fryer six months ago changed my world. Can't believe I 1342 01:46:09.319 --> 01:46:15.319 didn't have one of these things. I don't know what I'm probably getting nothing 1343 01:46:15.319 --> 01:46:25.920 for Black Friday? Probably nothing. Does my brother watch wrestling? He does 1344 01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:30.680 not as much as he used to, but yeah, he still pays attention 1345 01:46:30.760 --> 01:46:39.760 to it. He's the boococky sound bite going on the pod. It's not 1346 01:46:39.800 --> 01:46:43.359 going on the podcast. But I do have an idea for a superchat, 1347 01:46:43.439 --> 01:46:48.600 so watch out for that. That may become the new sixty nine dollars Superchat 1348 01:46:48.720 --> 01:46:58.720 very soon. Stay tuned. Does House of Glory travel to different states and 1349 01:46:58.840 --> 01:47:02.720 not too familiar with how other companies work. At the moment, home base 1350 01:47:02.840 --> 01:47:06.640 is the NYC Arena, which is in Queens, New York. But it's 1351 01:47:06.680 --> 01:47:11.800 funny you mentioned that. All I will say to you is stay tuned. 1352 01:47:12.600 --> 01:47:23.319 In twenty twenty four would be an interesting year. Wapatapa says. The Royal 1353 01:47:23.439 --> 01:47:32.239 solo Monster pants is clean. Your heinous I have no idea what that mean. 1354 01:47:32.279 --> 01:47:41.159 Wapatapa, you are confusing me. Yeah, the air friar, the 1355 01:47:41.199 --> 01:47:51.760 air fryer is amazing. Heinous Anus says Based Beers. You guys are weird. 1356 01:47:56.239 --> 01:48:05.279 Hogs should come to Jersey. Why what's in Jersey? Who from House 1357 01:48:05.279 --> 01:48:09.000 of Glory do I think can make a big in WWE or AW? I 1358 01:48:09.039 --> 01:48:12.479 think there's a lot of people. We have. Our tag team champions right 1359 01:48:12.520 --> 01:48:17.039 now are Jay Lyon and Mite as Black. They're a team called Main Event 1360 01:48:19.119 --> 01:48:25.800 m a n E Main Event and they're great. They're fantastic. The people 1361 01:48:25.840 --> 01:48:29.640 love them. I think they could absolutely get over on television. I would 1362 01:48:29.680 --> 01:48:31.439 keep an eye out for those guys, and they work other independents as well, 1363 01:48:31.560 --> 01:48:34.680 not just House of Glory. As much as I hate the guy, 1364 01:48:34.840 --> 01:48:39.600 I hate his fucking guts, Charles Mason. Look, you can't deny the 1365 01:48:39.640 --> 01:48:45.239 talent there. And I think that it's very very likely that we'll see him 1366 01:48:45.359 --> 01:48:51.000 on television somewhere at some point, which would be good because then gets away 1367 01:48:51.079 --> 01:48:55.720 from me. I won't have to deal with him anymore. But I have 1368 01:48:55.760 --> 01:48:57.920 to give the devil his due. He's very talented. Look, there is 1369 01:48:57.920 --> 01:49:01.199 the reason why he's been our Crown Jewel Champion for eighteen months. Nobody's been 1370 01:49:01.239 --> 01:49:04.640 able to stop them. We'll see if that changes next Friday, because next 1371 01:49:04.640 --> 01:49:09.279 Friday is our final show of the year. No SmackDown that night, although 1372 01:49:09.319 --> 01:49:12.920 SmackDown is in Brooklyn, we're competing against SmackDown. SmackDown's in Brooklyn at the 1373 01:49:12.920 --> 01:49:16.880 Barclay Center and we're running a show that night. So we've got Swerve Strickland 1374 01:49:16.920 --> 01:49:21.279 against Speedball Mike Bailey on that show. It's one of our main events. 1375 01:49:21.359 --> 01:49:27.680 That's that's kind of a big deal. And the grizzled young veterans are making 1376 01:49:27.680 --> 01:49:31.039 their first stop in House of Glory and Mike Santana's challenging Matt Cardona for our 1377 01:49:31.079 --> 01:49:36.079 world title. And it's gonna be a big night. It's gonna be a 1378 01:49:36.199 --> 01:49:47.600 very big night. I think Gringo Loco is coming retro Koh with the super 1379 01:49:47.720 --> 01:49:51.479 chat coming in, says your new pickup line as the commissioner. Hey ladies, 1380 01:49:51.520 --> 01:49:58.319 do you want to come see my Hog? Well, then you're gonna 1381 01:49:58.319 --> 01:50:02.720 be awfully upset when there's no stream. When I'm arrested for sexual harassment and 1382 01:50:02.800 --> 01:50:10.640 I'm locked up? Can't scream from the pokey now? Can? I don't 1383 01:50:10.640 --> 01:50:17.760 get good Wi Fi in there? Bass beers? Will we ever see Slo 1384 01:50:17.880 --> 01:50:24.800 Monster in a Texas Deathmatch? In Hog? You will not see me or 1385 01:50:24.840 --> 01:50:28.760 have me book one. I'd booked one, but you're not going to see 1386 01:50:28.760 --> 01:50:35.359 me in the Texas Death Match? Do you want to see my Hog? 1387 01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:40.079 Oh? My god? Yeah, you go walk up to walk up to 1388 01:50:40.119 --> 01:50:45.840 the wrong woman who was out with her boyfriend and watch what happens. I'll 1389 01:50:45.840 --> 01:50:49.640 get knifed for making a comment like that. Andre. I agree, some 1390 01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:54.880 of you people are absolute freaks. They say the freaks come out at night, 1391 01:50:54.920 --> 01:51:01.560 though, so there is something to that. And I fit a laptop 1392 01:51:01.640 --> 01:51:08.119 in my prison pocket. Now, I don't think so one. You know 1393 01:51:08.199 --> 01:51:12.640 what, Neither one of those things are gonna happen. I can't. I 1394 01:51:12.680 --> 01:51:19.000 can't say there's a more likely scenario that one over the other happens. We're 1395 01:51:19.399 --> 01:51:25.720 not getting either one of those things. If David Benoit was gonna wrestle, 1396 01:51:25.760 --> 01:51:29.039 he would have wrestled somewhere by now. The fact that he hasn't wrestled means 1397 01:51:29.439 --> 01:51:36.279 he's not that interested. Yeah, yeah, power Spine. I'm glad you 1398 01:51:36.319 --> 01:51:41.880 brought that up, because I totally whiffed and forgot to mention it. I'm 1399 01:51:41.920 --> 01:51:45.319 gonna be Obviously, Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, which is usually a night off on 1400 01:51:45.399 --> 01:51:49.479 the Channel anyway, but obviously it's a holiday, and so that's tomorrow. 1401 01:51:49.600 --> 01:51:54.159 On Friday is SmackDown. I will be live after SmackDown, and then I 1402 01:51:54.199 --> 01:51:58.199 will be live again on Saturday night because we have Survivor series war games in 1403 01:51:58.239 --> 01:52:03.640 the return of Randy Orton and not seem Punk, So that will be on 1404 01:52:03.720 --> 01:52:09.680 Saturday nights, and we're doing a Wrestle Rumble contest. Go to wrestle Rumble 1405 01:52:09.720 --> 01:52:13.520 dot com. You got to take a look at this Macho Man legacy belt. 1406 01:52:13.520 --> 01:52:16.680 This thing is a monstrosity. One person is going to be able to 1407 01:52:16.680 --> 01:52:19.560 win that belt, but you got to get in on the contest. So 1408 01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:27.079 that's on Saturday, and so we have the podcast on Sunday. That's episode 1409 01:52:27.119 --> 01:52:31.119 eight thirty six, and then Raw Monday night, and then Dynamite next Wednesday, 1410 01:52:31.560 --> 01:52:35.479 and that takes us into the month of December. So a lot of 1411 01:52:35.520 --> 01:52:40.239 streaming, a lot of content coming your way. We're not done yet here. 1412 01:52:41.520 --> 01:52:45.560 We're celebrating sixteen years of the sound off all month Loan Paul Carpenter says, 1413 01:52:46.159 --> 01:52:49.880 is hog on Fight Happy Turkey Day. We used to be on Fight. 1414 01:52:49.920 --> 01:52:54.239 We are now on Premiere Streaming Network. So if you go to Premiere 1415 01:52:54.239 --> 01:52:58.439 Streaming Network dot com, you can sign up there and you can get access 1416 01:52:58.479 --> 01:53:02.239 to our shows. Bace Beer is match of the Year so far, MJF 1417 01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:08.439 against Brian in the Iron Man match. It's on my list. I have 1418 01:53:08.560 --> 01:53:13.239 not narrowed my list down yet. I have about thirty plus matches on my 1419 01:53:13.359 --> 01:53:15.840 list, and I'm going to try to narrow it down to either ten or 1420 01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:18.800 fifteen, which is always the hardest part. The hard part is not coming 1421 01:53:18.880 --> 01:53:23.720 up with what matches I think fit the criteria. For Match of the Year. 1422 01:53:24.039 --> 01:53:28.359 It's always trying to narrow it down. That's always the toughest part. 1423 01:53:29.359 --> 01:53:30.800 But as you know, at the end of every year, I do my 1424 01:53:30.920 --> 01:53:34.479 countdown of the best matches, and then the week after that I do predictions 1425 01:53:34.520 --> 01:53:38.479 for the following year. So you will have to wait to find out what 1426 01:53:38.560 --> 01:53:40.680 my match of the year is. I'm not going to give it away here, 1427 01:53:41.319 --> 01:53:45.520 but is that match on the list the bigger broader list? Absolutely, 1428 01:53:48.119 --> 01:53:51.720 will velveteen Dream ever get another shot or is he done for good? He's 1429 01:53:51.760 --> 01:53:58.159 done? So thank you guys for hanging out with me here on Thanksgiving Eve. 1430 01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:03.199 Very cool episode of Dynamite tonight. Good kickoff to the Continental Classic again. 1431 01:54:03.399 --> 01:54:08.359 I think Mark Briscoe should have won in that main event. But we 1432 01:54:08.399 --> 01:54:11.880 have more matches coming up on Saturday. I will not be watching any of 1433 01:54:11.920 --> 01:54:15.560 them because I will be watching Survivor series, so I will have to watch 1434 01:54:15.600 --> 01:54:19.319 them later on. But come on back first on Friday, before we even 1435 01:54:19.319 --> 01:54:25.359 get to Wargames. We got one episode left of SmackDown, and we'll see 1436 01:54:25.359 --> 01:54:28.079 what nick all This has up his sleeve, and we'll find out what nick 1437 01:54:28.119 --> 01:54:31.840 All This was chatting with Adam Pierce about the other night on Raw when he 1438 01:54:31.960 --> 01:54:36.399 showed up. You missed all the other contents on the channel. The Raw 1439 01:54:36.439 --> 01:54:41.600 review from Monday night is up. There are clips up from episode eight thirty 1440 01:54:41.600 --> 01:54:46.560 five as well, including one on will Osprey and my take on the criticism 1441 01:54:47.640 --> 01:54:53.479 in some circles of aw signing only maybe the best wrestler in the world. 1442 01:54:54.800 --> 01:54:58.920 Yeah, let's rip it apart and criticize of all the signings. Let's rip 1443 01:54:58.960 --> 01:55:03.600 that apart. There's something not quite kosher with some of the criticism, So 1444 01:55:03.760 --> 01:55:06.359 go check that out least some comments. Let me know if you agree, 1445 01:55:06.800 --> 01:55:10.680 and we'll come back and do it all over again on Friday. So until 1446 01:55:10.720 --> 01:55:14.680 then, if you will stay safe, enjoy all the food gobble gobble, 1447 01:55:15.760 --> 01:55:21.000 and we will be live again on Friday night for the post Thanksgiving episode of 1448 01:55:21.039 --> 01:55:24.159 Smack. Take care, guys,
