We should lowered the SoundOff flag here at half mass because on a day where
Daryl Hall and John Oates have gone to war, and if I can't even
say they've gone to war, Daryl Hall has taken out a restraining order on
John Oates. We don't have much more in the way of information about this.
I cannot tell you how devastating this is to be. This has single
handedly ruined my Thanksgiving. When I read that news earlier, I was just
devastating. Hopefully they can work things out, Hopefully they can get back on
the same page here. Man. I grew up listening to Hall and Oates.
They're my favorite duo of all time. I don't want to hear that
they have problems. I need them to be together. I went to go
in Madison Square Garden to see them a few years ago. Come on,
man, Thanksgiving well tonight we had the start of the Continental Classic here on
aw Dunham. This is of course Tony Kaanzan to the g One Climax,
and we now know the names of the twelve men who are in the tournament.
They are divided into two groups. We have the Blue Group, not
Blue Man Group. We have the Blue Group and the Gold group, and
tonight it was all about the Gold group. But let's start with the Blue
group because in the Blue group we have the reigning Ring of Honor and new
Japan Strong open Weight Champion Eddie Kingston. Why is it important to point out
that Eddie Kingston is in this tournament because at full gear, Eddie Kingston said
that he would be taking his Ring of Honor World Heavyweight title and his new
Japan Strong open Weight title and defending them both in the tournament. And the
way that he described it is he said he would defend it in every match
that he would have in this tournament. Now, it's round robin style,
so depending on what block you're in or you know, group, you will
wrestle every single person in your group one time. There's gonna be a lot
of matches in this tournament. Now. Tony Khank kind of walked that back
a little bit earlier on they had a little show on YouTube. Him and
Tony Shavani were sitting at the table. They had the new Japan Strong open
Weight title, they had the Ring of Honor World title, and they had
the brand new continental title which was covered and they never did show us what
the new belt looks like, I guess they're holding off. They're gonna show
us at some point on the television. But Tony Khank clarified because it was
very confusing, like is he defending the championships in every single match? And
so what happens if Eddie Kingston loses in his very first match. Let's say
to you know, Brody King, does that make Brody King the new Ring
of Honor World Champion, a new japan Strong open weight champion, and you
just play hot potato with the belts the entire tournament. So Tony Khan clarified
earlier today he said that Kingston's titles will not be on the line in every
single match. So I guess if Kingston doesn't advance to the finals, then
I presume his two championships would be held up, they would be vacated,
and then in the finals of the tournament, it would go to the winner
along with the new continental title. And the way that they described it,
so basically it would be one unified title represented by three championship belts. So
you'll have three belts, but they will represent one champion and that will be
the Continental Champion's that's my understanding of how this is going to work or a
modern American triple Crown winner is the way they described it on television as Tony
Kahan loves his you know, Japanese wrestling, in Japanese wrestling history, and
they did this in all Japan many years ago, the triple crown, so
he wants to do a triple crown here in aw. Still not clear to
me what that means for the future of the Ring of Honor World title as
far as the ROH title lineage, As far as you know, is the
new Continental Champion going to be the de facto top champion on Ring of Honor?
I mean, is that what that means? We don't know. We
haven't gotten total clarity on that. It would strike me that that would be
the case, but we don't know. This all feels very unnecessary to me.
When I talked about the Continental Classic previously, I said, this is
before they announced what was going to be online, and I said, what
would make the most sense in this tournament is to have the winner. Now.
You want to give them a plaque, you want to give them a
trophy, you want to give them a customary title belt like they did for
the Owen Hart Foundation tournament. That's fine, but the winner of this tournament
should be in line for a shot at the AW World Heavyweight Championship, because
Tony Khan even said when the announcement was first made and Brian Danielson pirate Pirate
Danielson with his iPad was standing right next to him, I guess it was
a bandage, not an eyepatch. But he said, twelve of the top
names in AW would be in this tournament, and so they should be fighting
for a shot at the world championship, and that would have made a hell
of a lot easier. So instead they took this in a totally different direction.
And there are certain things in certain aspects here that are still not entirely
clear to me, so we'll have to wait and see what they now.
So I think that would have been the right way to go. Eddie Kingston,
though, is in the blue group. Here's who else is in the
blue group. Brian Danielson is in the blue group andrede Ledlo Claudio Castignoli,
so two members of the Blackpool Combat Club are in the same group. Daniel
Garcia is in there as well, and Brody King representing the House of Black.
So we have House of Black and Blackpool Combat Club representation in the Blue
group. So we know Daniel Garcia is going to be wrestling both Brian Danielson
and Claudio in this group, and so it makes me wonder given the story
they started to tell with him, it looks like, Okay, maybe he's
going to break away again from the sports entertainment stuff. He's going to embrace
his inner pro wrest Is this gonna end with him possibly joining the Blackpool Combat
Club? You know, when he wrestles Claudia, for example, is there
gonna be a mutual respect there when that's over? Could that be his story
arc coming out of this tournament where he doesn't win, but it's finally what
allows him to break away from what he's been doing, and maybe he ends
up joining the BCC. I could see that happen. That's the Blue group.
Now let's talk about the Gold group. The Gold group in this tournament,
Mark Brisco, John Moxley, Jay Lethal Rusche, Switchblade, J White,
and Swerve strickly conspicuous by their absence from this list. No Kenny Omega
in this tournament. No Kenoski Takeshta in this In fact, no member of
the Don kallis family at all in this tournament. No Malachi Black, which
was surprising that he wouldn't be one of the twelve names in this tournament.
Andrade is in there, but Malachi Black is not because Malachi and Andrade have
had issues before. But it's almost as if the Black Mass to Brian Danielson
has been completely forgotten about. It would have made a lot of sense for
him to be in the same block, or at least be in the tournament
and maybe build to Brian Danigelson and Malachi Black, whether it's the finals,
whether it's just a match in their block, and Malachi is not even part
of the group. What that tells me the fact they put brody King in
there and non Malachi, is that they might want brody King to eat a
lot of pins and so brody King is going to be taking a lot of
losses in this tournament. They might be doing that to protect Malachi and say,
Okay, we don't want to beat him all these different times, or
if he's not going to win the tournament, we don't want him to be
in there, and so we'll put brody King in there instead. It's disappointing
now some of the names that are missing. And I know, you know,
Mega is going to be wrestling for the tag team title soon and you
can explain that one away. But there are other names that should have been
in this tournament that are not. But I don't hate the lineup because if
you look at the lineup, if you look at the names that are in
this tournament, it's a stacked lineup. I mean, it is a loaded
lineup of talent in this tournament, even with the names that are missing from
there. Now, by my count, as I look at these lists and
I'm counting them out here, I would say half the field, right,
you got twelve guys in this tournament. I would say, realistically, you're
looking at about half the field as realistic potential winners of this tournament, realistic
Triple Crown champions at the end of this tournament, and you go down this
list again. Brian Danielson. Brian Danielson was the first name announced. Brian
Danielson is arguably the biggest name in the entire tournament. You would think,
well, it's his for the taking. Not so fast. I don't necessarily
think he's the favorite to win. He's one of the favorites, but not
necessarily my pick who I think is going to win the entire thing. But
he's got to be on the list, right, So you put Brian Danielson
on there, Andrade. I don't see Andrade winning this tournament, so you
cross him off. Claudia's not winning. Daniel Garcia is an interesting one.
Daniel Garcia, like I said, there could be a whole other story here
where maybe you know him potentially joining the Blackpool Combat Club or at least breaking
away from Parker and Minard. But Daniel Garcia is someone who they had started
pushing in that direction well over a year ago when it looked like he was
going to leave the Jericho Appreciation Society, and it turned out to be a
big swerve and he just went right back to doing what he was doing.
But up until that point he was starting to build a little bit of momentum.
Now where he would have gone, I don't know. I don't know
how far he would have gotten if he would have broken away. Then as
a babyface, he would not be the AW World Champion. But where would
he be in the pecking order of AAW Would he be in a worse position,
would he be in a better position? Possible he would be in a
worse PASI issue. They have a lot of talent in case you couldn't tell,
they have a surplus of talent and top names in this company. Dangle
Garcia, talented as he is, is not a top name. Could this
be a way to get him there? Could this be a way where he
pulls out the win. He's the dark horse, he pulls out the win
at the end, and they use this tournament as a way to rehab him
and try to elevate him to that next level. Yes, that is possible,
So I would actually, i'd probably was stick him on the list of
potential winners. I would include him on that list. Brody King is not
winning this tournament, you get into the gold group. Mark Briscoe is not
winning this tournament. Jay Lethal Jay Leitho was not winning this tournament. Jay
Leitho is not winning shit in aw That much is clear just based on his
booking. So Jay Lethal's not winning. John Moxley has to be on the
list. Danilson's on that list, so is John Moxley. John Moxley could
win the entire thing. Rushe not winning this tournament? Jay White? Possibly,
Yes, I would put j White on that list as well. And
then we get to Swerve Strickland. Swerve Strickland, who pulled out a win
in the most violent match in AW history, one of the most violent fucking
matches that I've seen in my entire life at Full Gear. That was a
sick, violent, disturbing match that we had on that pay per view the
other night, and he pulled out the win two in a row. Now
that's back to back pay per view wins over Hangman Page, a former AAW
world champion. What did I say coming out of that match when he picked
up that win at Full Gear? And I made the comment, I said,
the two most important words when it comes to Swerve Strickland, more important
even than the win that he got over the weekend. What next? What
next? Where do you go from here? Because it's kind of like Austin
Theory pinning John Cenair WrestleMania. That sounds great, right, he pins the
greatest of all time, as they love to call him, a former sixteen
time world champion. What next? We saw what was next for Austin Theory?
The answer was not much. So the key is always in the follow
up. It's nice that they put him over to in a row. I'm
impressed that Tony Kahan had the guts to do that, But now, what
are you going to do with him? What is the plan? Because MJF.
He's got Samoa Joe, he's got Wardlow breathing down his neck, the
Devil, He's got all kinds of people gunning for him. Right, He's
already got his next probably three to six months worth of feuds all mapped out.
It would seem like to me, maybe not six, but you know,
he's all accounted for right now as far as what he's doing. So
what are you going to do with Swerve? Strictly he has to rock it
to the top of the list of favorites to win this tournament. You have
to build on that momentum. You have to piggyback on that momentum in some
way. If he's in the tournament, he has to at least go to
the finals. He has to rack up enough points go to World's End,
and even if he doesn't win, he should be in the finals. But
I would also say this, I would say there's an argument against him winning
because when I talk about would Swerve and I say what's next? What's next
for him? Right? Honestly, they should be building him for the AW
World Heavyweight title, and it's not gonna be at world's end. It could
be at revolution, if not revolution, maybe by double nothing. But he
needs to be in that mix. You need to get him there. If
he wins this tournament, he becomes the Triple Crown winner, right, whatever
the hell that means. Say he wins the Ring of Honor World title,
Whoop dee, do he wins the new japan Strong open weight title. Whoop
dee? Do he wins the continental title? Who cares? Now he's got
the Triple Crown. If anything, that takes him away from challenging for the
AW World title. I would much rather be preparing him for that than have
him run around the world in different promotions defending this title, because this is
the best that you have for So there's an argument on both sides to be
made that if he wins, it actually works against him. It's like a
consolation prize, and he's better than that. So if he's not in their
world title plans anytime in the near future, then fine, there's no harm
in having him win the Triple Crown. He can add that to his resume.
But I really think that there should be very serious consideration to him being
in the mix in the early part of twenty twenty four. This man is
a future AEW world champion in this company. Moxley and Eddie Kingston is another
one that I wrote down here as far as potential finals in this tournament.
If Eddie Kingston is putting both of his belts on the line, you're pretty
lame if he didn't make it to the finals. I don't see Eddie winning
the entire thing, so I think he's losing those belts no matter what.
But him and John Moxley have history together. He and John Moxley are you
know, they're good friends. And for a while there you remember Eddie was
trying to talk Moxley out of you withdrawing and bowing out of the Blackpool Combat
Club and no longer associating himself with Claudia, And that storyline is pretty much
got dropped. It's on the back burner. They could revisit that, right
you put Moxley and Kingston in the finals. The only thing I don't like
about that is I don't think Eddie is winning, which means Moxley is winning.
And honestly, I don't want to see Moxley win. Why do we
need John Moxley to win the Continental Classic? But if you think about it,
one of the reasons that they're doing this they want a champion who can
defend in other promotions, who can go around the world, who could go
to Japan and defend this time. Eddie has been to Japan. Eddie Kingston
was in the g One this year. John Moxley is going to be at
the Tokyo Dome at Russell Kingdom. He's gonna be wrestling Will Ospray and David
Finley. John Moxley is all over the place, He's doing dependent shows,
He's everywhere. So a Moxley Kingston final is very possible because if you want
a traveling champion, well, these two guys right here are probably the closest
thing. I mean, these two guys right here are probably the ones who
are gonna give, you know, the best shot at going around and defending
this and other promotions. I just don't have the appetite to see John Moxley
go over and win the entire tournament because I just don't see what's gained by
doing that. I think Danielson against Swerve is the is the play for the
main event. I think that that's the answer. As far as the finals,
I wouldn't mind either one winning, but it should be Swerve if you're
gonna do Danielson and Swerve in the final, and we saw that match,
I believe on Dynamite a number of months ago. I think Danielson beat him,
but I think that's the finals. I would have Swerve going over,
especially if he's not gonna be in the mix for the world title in the
near term. But I think Tony Kahan may a big mistake tonight. We
had our first three matches in the tournament, and we'll go through what all
of them were as far as how they worked out. But we had Swerve
Strickland wrestling Jay Lethal, we had Jay White wrestling Rouche. And in the
main event on this show, we had John Moxley going one on one with
Mark Briscoe for the very first time, and he went the predictable route.
Tony Kahn went the safe route on this show. I just read you all
three matches. You could tell me right now, even if you didn't see
this show, who won all three matches, and you would be right.
And if you watch that main event. The people really wanted to see Mark
Briscoe go over and beat John Moxley in that match. That was the wrong
call to make, having Moxley beat Briscoe. I would have had Mark Briscoe
go over in that main event. It's not a single elimination tournament. Moxley
is safe. If Moxley doesn't win three points in the match tonight, it's
not like he can't rap up points and still get to the finals. If
that's where they want him to be. Of doing a round robin tournament instead
of single elimination, you know, one and done, that's not what this
is. Brisco should have gone over because that would have given this tournament a
little bit more of an air of unpredictability, like oh okay, they didn't
go with the safe bet in the main event. They actually went with the
other guy. All right, and it's night one, so it sets the
tone I think for the rest of the tournament. He had an opportunity to
do that in the main event on this show by giving us an upset win
on night one. He didn't do that. He played it safe. I
wouldn't have done that, but all three matches were good. Main event being
I think the best of the bunch, and I like Dynamite overall that it
was a solid effort coming out of full gear. Not like the best episode
of Dynamite of the year or anything like that, but I thought it was
a good show that has already set the main event for a world zen.
This is the second time in a row, at least a second maybe third
pay per view in a row where they have told, well in advance,
over a month in advance, what your main event is going to be,
which I like. I like that. I hope that becomes a pattern.
I hope we see more of that. And that main event was set tonight.
It's going to be MJF and Samoa Joe. There was a Tony Storm
segment that I love, Christian Cage promo. We'll talk about it all.
This is your aw Dynamite review for Thanksgiving Eve. It is November twenty second,
twenty and twenty three, and I also want to mention that today would
have been my mom's sixty fourth birthday, so I just wanted to say happy
birthday, Mom. All right, let's get into this because Dynamite open with
the first match, match number one in the Continental Classic, with two members
of the Gold League would Swerve Strickland against Jay Lethal. They had cans of
Rick Flair's Wo Energy on a desk in front of the announcers. I guess
tonight was the first official night of promoting his mushroom filled energy drink. Now
here are the rules. We gotta go over the rules here of the Continental
Classic. Every match has a twenty minute time limit. You get three points
for a win, you get one point for a draw. You get no
points if you lose. And here's the part about it that I like.
Everyone is banned from ringside, so there's no outside interference, there's no unnecessary
distractions. It's nice, right, kind of nice, especially when you see
j Lethal out there here in this opening match. We all know how his
matches usually go. Jay Lethal against Swerve, not even one week removed from
the most violent match in AEW history, and Swerve was already back in the
ring. Just had some tape, a little bit of tape on his right
shoulder. He may have had a black eye, I couldn't tell. I
didn't get a good look at his face, but his shoulder was taped up
and otherwise he was good to go. He was good to go now the
crowd reaction to Swerve, perhaps not unsurprising, was very interesting because he came
out, he got a big baby face reaction. And it tickles me when
I see that because it kind of reminds me of WrestleMania back in two thousand
and two when Hulk Hogan came back to the company. The nWo right joined
WWE, and we have Rock and Hogan and Rocken Hogan is set for WrestleMania
eighteen. Of what does Hulk Hogan try to do? He tries to murder
the Rock. They put the Rock in an ambulance. He gets in a
mack truck and he slams into the ambulance. Attempted vehicular homicide. He tried
to kill the Rock. And yet Hulgan walks into the SkyDome in Toronto and
is cheered like a hero. They boo the Rock and they'd cheer Hulk Hogan.
People didn't care. Here we have a man who broke into another man's
home and threatened his family, threatened his wife and young son, and yet
he comes out here and it's like it's all forgotten about. It's all water
under the bridge because he won, right, he's a winner, He's not
a loser, so it's okay. But I just thought that was kind of
funny how quickly we forget. So he comes out, he gets a big
baby face reaction, and they were solidly behind him throughout the match. You
know. Lethal hit a shoulder breaker to that taped up shoulder before a commercial
break. Strickland cut off Lethal in the corner with a huge superplex, followed
by a rolling flatliner and a brainbuster for two. Lethal then countered a figure
four leg lock into an inside cradle before a reverse soup plex, and then
he hit a top rope elbow drop, got a near fall of his own
out of it. Strickland counter the lethal injection and apply to stretch muffler,
but Lethal manage his way out of it. Nick Grosso dropping a Samoa bro
on me here on Thanksgiving eve. See, I know a lot of people
are traveling, a lot of people are already celebrating with their family. We
don't have a full house here, but the house we have is loud.
Man, you guys are making a lot of noise. I like it.
I like the noise. I appreciate you hanging out with me here on a
holiday. So he applies a stretch muffler Lethal, though got out of it
into a cross face. Lethal wanted the lethal injection again, but Strickland drop
kicked the leg out, hit the house call, and then the Swerve stump
for the win. The first three points of this tournament go to Swerve Strickland,
and it was nice to have a rare Jay Lethal Madge without all the
outside interference and all the shenanigans that we usually get with Jeff Jarrett and Karen
Jarrett. Sanjay Dutt I would say Satinam singing, but he doesn't do much.
He just kind of stands there, so I can't really blame the guy.
But without all the bs that we usually get, we got a straight
wrestling match here, one on one. It was nice for a change.
Unfortunately, Swerve did not come out with Prince Nana, so you got to
take the bad with the good cuts both ways. But I thought it was
a solid opener. Uh. It's too bad that Lethal has been involved with
such a goofy stuff on television because it's hard to take him seriously in a
tournament like this. We know how talented he is, and he's a former
Ring of Honor world champion and television champion and been around forever, very well
respected, but hard to take him seriously. Is somebody that you can honestly
believe has a chance of going to the finals or even frankly, of racking
up that many points in this tournament. I don't want to say he's going
to go totally winless, but he might go totally winless in this tournament,
which goes back to what I said before. Ony Kin initially said that it
would be twelve of the top AW stars, twelve of the top names on
the AW roster. The fact is Jay Lethal does not fit that criteria.
He is not one of the top twelve stars in AW. So when you
see names like that in there, you know why they're there. They're there
to take the loss. But there are some names that were left out of
this that really should have been in. That's the only thing that's disappointing about.
And otherwise, very impressive lineup of talent in this tournament. But it
was a solid opener. Obviously the right guy went over. Now, Renee
was backstage with Orange, Cassidy, Hook and Katsiori Shabata the Ring of Honor
Pure Champion. Cassidy asked for this time to make a special announcement, but
he was immediately interrupted by Wheeler Yuda, who said that it took seventeen orange
punches and an exposed turnbuckle to beat John Moxley. He said it makes him
sick that Sabada still has the ROH Pure title. He told Shabata to watch
his Pure Rules match on Ring of Honor this week, and then he walked
off and Cassidy said that he still had an announcement to make, but Renee
told him that we're at a time sorry. Then we had the aw World
champion MJF coming out along with Adam Cole. We had their remixed music and
so they each came out from either side of the stage. Cole was on
his crutches like he wasn't full gear. MJF had a cane like Vince McMahon
did in Saudi Arabia, only he didn't have the shitty mustache. So they
get in the ring and Cole takes a seat in the ring and MJF said
that after he just beat j White on one leg, he learned in those
thirty minutes that Jay White is one of the best professional wrestlers in the world.
But he said nobody is on the level of the Devil. He's the
youngest and long reigning champion of all time. He said that he knows he
can be a little humble, but he thinks that he earned the right to
toot his own horn tonight, and he told us that we are looking at
the greatest AEW World Champion of all time. He did his catchphrase. He
said, none of this is possible without his bro Chacho for life. That
led into story time with Adam Cole. He said it was great to be
back here in Chicago and to still be the Ring of Honor World Tag Team
Champion along with MJF with a little help, he said, from Samoa Joe.
But with the good news comes the bad news. He said, his
ankle is really messed up and he's still going to be out for a very
long time. He's still a long ways off from walking again, let alone
getting back in the wrestling ring, but he vowed to come back at one
hundred percent and be the best Adam Cole that he has ever been. But
he was really worried about it. He said, it feels like the entire
world is gunning for him. With Wardlow and Samoa Joe, and now the
Devil and his goons. MJF cut him off and said that he is going
to find the man behind the mask, behind the devil mask, and he
said the hell that he sends him to is going to feel like heaven.
At that moment, the lights went out in the arena and they played a
quick clip of the Devil with him laughing. Of course his voice was dubbed.
They play a clip of him laughing, and yes, I agree.
There were people saying it sounded like Jack Perry. I agree, if you
listen to it, it does kind of sound like Jack Perry. But I
want to point something else out because I rewound it when I saw some people
mentioning Jack Perry, so I rewound it to listen to the Devil. But
I noticed something else, And it could be nothing. It could be nothing.
But if you go back and watch right before the lights went out,
you can see that Adam Cole had his hand in his pocket or went to
put his hand in his pocket. Right he's sitting down and the lights go
out and the very brief clip of the Devil plays and he's laughing, and
when they cut back to the ring live Cole is sitting there and his right
hand is in his pocket. And then we hear Samoa Joe's music and Samoa
Joe comes out to come to the ring. Now, why would his hand
have been in his pocket like that? It was only his right hand,
almost as if he was putting his hand in his pocket, maybe to push
a button to play a video up on the screen. We know how easy
it is to push a button and get videos up on the screen. They
do it every week with Cole via zoom right, Oh, let me dial
Adam Cole. Oh, boom, there he is on screen. I try
to connect my AirPod sometimes via Wi Fi to my laptop and I could be
here for twenty five minutes trying to get it to work. They push one
button in boom, Adam Cole is on screen. So interesting though that he
had his hand in his pocket at the exact moment that that video played.
And if you go back and watch it you could see it again. It
could mean nothing, or it could be something. I guess we'll see.
So they cut back to the ring, like I said, and they play
Samoa Joe's pocket Fishermen. That's also very possible. That's also very possible.
It could it could just be he was playing the old game of pocket fishermen,
right, So a little bit of pocket pool and we've all we've all
been there even during these hey, during these streams, you never know,
right, you only see me from the shoulders up. You don't know what
of them. You don't even know if I'm wearing pants right now it's Thanksgiving.
I could be in my Turkey suit. You have no idea. Samoa
Joe makes his way this, This just went to a very dark place.
Samoa Joe made his way down to the ring, and he said it was
time for celebration. He said, two massive victories this weekend for MJF.
Despite the fact that his less adequate friend looking at Cole couldn't defend him.
Yet he still stands here as the aw World champion. But earlier that night,
he points out that MJF went out with Joe and successfully defended those Ring
of Honor tag team titles for the simple price of giving him his championship rematch.
And so he has come to Chicago to ensure that honorable men honor their
deals. Spoken like a true Ring of Honor former television champion. So MJF
tells him, you know, I thought long and hard about their deal,
and he's come up with a very mature response to Samoa Joe below me.
Now, they censored this, as she censored a few things during this promo,
So I don't know if the show's gone PG or not, but you
read the guy's lips. He clearly told Joe to blow him, and this
pissed off Samoa Joe, who had no interest in blowing this man, so
he grabs him right, grabs MJF. And Adam Cole is begging Joe to
take his hands off from Joejojoe just let him go, Let him go,
right, and he addresses MJF and Cole says, you can't do this.
What you just said, what you just did, that's something the old Max
would do. You can't do that, he says. The new Max,
the new MJF is a man of his word. He said he's had wars
with Samoa Joe, Cole has and they've been the toughest fights of his life.
That's why he is who he is. But that's also why MJF is
who he is, because when MJF says something is gonna happen, it happens.
He says, you promised this man a championship shot. So Max,
be a man of your word, and fans chanted he's our scumbag. MJF
said that, you know what, you wouldn't be the first Ring of Honor
legend that I've beaten in Chicago twice. And it says, how about MJF
against Samoa Joe right here, right now in Chicago, And of course all
the fans in Chicago wanted to see that, right, three cheers for that.
Samoa Joe says, absolutely not. He said MJF is gonna get on
the internet tomorrow and he's gonna bitch and he's gonna moan about how he wasn't
one hundred percent and he was still hurt and it's not fair. He says,
no, no, no, no, Max. I want the best
version of you. I want the fully healed Max. So I say,
by World's End, you should be nice and shipper to get back in the
ring and defend that time. So MJF wanted to clarify this. He wanted
to clarify that Samoa Joe wanted to wrestle him on December thirtieth at World's End
at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island the most magical place on Earth, and
the fans boot, the fans in Chicago did not want to see this magic
the Nasaw Coliseum on Long Island, and MJF told him go ahead and boo,
he doesn't give a shit, which again they censored, and then he
tried to get back at their good graces, say, guys, I didn't
say I didn't like deep dish. Calm down, and he told Joe,
you know what, You've got yourself a deal. So they shook on it,
but MJF held his hand and he pulled him in and he told him
wrestling MJF and Long Island is like copin head from an alligator. But looking
at Joe these days, he imagines he doesn't have many options. And Joe
told him, all this worrying that you've been doing about the devil, you
don't have to worry anymore, he says, because as of today, you
are my property. And he says, nobody touches his property without his permission.
So he's got mjf's back and he's going to deliver the very he best
MJF at the Nassau Coliseum and then he's going to beat him unconscious in front
of his friends and family and anybody that he knows and loves. So Samoa
Joe is great Samoa Joe. Even when Joe was getting hurt all the time
in WWE, because you know, the injury bug bit him a few times,
the one thing that never wavered was when you put a live mic in
his hand, he was the best in the entire company. Nobody could touch
it. He was fantastic. Thankfully, here in aw so far he's been
able to stay healthy. He's more physically active for them than he was for
WWE. Now he's in the pay per view main event at the end of
the year, so world's end, we already have our main events set.
It's gonna be MJF defending against Samoa Joe in a remat from Grand Slam.
And again, this makes at least two, maybe three pay per views in
a row where we have had our main events solidified weeks and weeks in advance,
and it has given them an opportunity to really take their time in building
to it instead of announce it like you know, two weeks before. It's
a trend that I hope continues, at least as far as their main events.
You don't have to have the entire card, you know, solid three
weeks out, but your key matches, your key main event. You know,
you should be able to announce that for in advance if you have a
picture of where you're going. So we've already got our main event, and
we're still over a month away. We're five weeks out, you know,
from World's End. So I like that that was the obvious match. I
still think that there's a good chance we got the devil reveal at World's End.
I think I feel like even just the name of the show, the
fact that it's in mjf's hometown, it just feels like it's the end of
the year. We're counting down right, the final show of the year.
It just feels like we're building to this show for the reveal of who the
Devil is. Question is, is MJF gonna benefit from this or not?
Does the Devil show himself and end up ruining the match and ruining Joe's chances
of or does that happen after the match is over, MJF just beat him
again, you know, they just want to use Joe for a second match
and put MJF over and then the big reveal comes that. I don't know,
but I would not discount the possibility that Samoa Joe could walk into twenty
twenty four as the AW World Champion. You know, there's a reason why
they took that Ring of Honor television title off of him, and it may
not just be to get him the match with MJF. It's because they want
that belt off of him because they have another belt in mind for him,
and then MJF could always take the belt back from him a month later,
two months later. I mean, it kind of did the same thing with
the TNT title and then they had Joe drop it to Darby. I think
that was at the beginning of the year. Joe is something of a I
can't even call him a transitional champion. If the belt were to just go
back to MJF. That's not how you define a transitional champion, but kind
of like a brief run. To give MJF a mountain decline, give him
something to have to fight for to get his belt back wouldn't be the worst
thing in the world. But again, he's got a lot of irons in
the fire Wardlow being another one. I don't know if they want that belt
off of him until it's time for him to drop it to whoever that heir
apparent is going to be. I don't see the harm though, if you
want to give Joe a quick run and then have MJF get the belt back,
I don't see the harm in that. Joe is fantastic. Joe is
a would be a great champion. So here we are going into a main
event where I don't mind either outcome, whether MJF retains or he loses.
I think in either scenario, they're still in good hands, you know.
Going into the new year, now we had Orange Cassidy, we had Hook
and we had Katsuyori Shabata in a trios match against Jake Hager, Matt Minard
and Angelo Parker. Cassidy went to the floor and he grabbed the microphone to
tell us that he had a Thanksgiving surprise for us. I guess this is
what he was going to win earlier before Renee told him that they were desperately
out of time, and he informs us the big surprise turns out to be
the return of Dan Hausen, who was hyped up even before Halloween and that
we never saw. So something happened, and so Tony Khan decided to hold
him out a little bit longer. Now it's Thanksgiving and we got the return
of Dan Housen. Even though they were still playing on the on the tron
the Halloween video, which was a takeoff on Halloween three. If you know
you know, so they were playing that video, then they played his music.
Then he came out. He got a big pop. I don't want
to say he got a bigger pop than MJF, but he got the biggest,
one of the biggest reactions on the show up to this point. Everybody
was very happy to see Dan Housen. He came down to the ring to
be in the baby Face corner and for those who don't know, he tore
his peck back at Revolution, he took a three ten t EuMA from the
guns. He tore his peck and that's why he's been out ever since March.
So this was his big return. Hook was isolated during a picture and
picture break before finally hitting an overhead throw on Angelo Parker and he made the
tag to Orange Cassidy, who ran wild until Hagar caught him with a takedown.
Cassidy fought back with the stun Dog Millionaire and tagged in Shabbata, who
went toe to toe with Hagar's so we got a little back and forth between
those two. Shabbata fired off a pump kick, Hager mowed him down with
a knee lift, and then he missed a corner splash. Shabata hit Hagar
lit him up, actually with a series of chops, and then he hit
the stalling drop kick to the face in the corner, which always looks great.
Parker and Minard made the save, and the Heels wanted a triple power
bomb, but Den Housen got up on the apron and he pulled out the
old purple bucket hat, which we haven't seen in months, used to be
Hagar's favorite hat. He put it on his head and he cursed Jake Hager.
Hager came outside to confront him. He cursed him. He put a
curse son, Jay care I too have cursed and shake Haeger many times in
the past as well, but this was the Dan Housen curse that he put
on Jay Haeger hook and Shabbata meanwhile slapped on dueling submissions, red rum and
a rear naked choke, and the Heels tapped out. So Shabbata hook and
Cassidy pick up the wind. Good to see Dan Hausen back just some One
of my guilty pleasures on the show is Dan House Renee was talking to Adam
Cole backstage when Roderick Strong rolled up with Matt Taven and Mike Bennett behind him,
and he wanted to know where Cole was on Friday when Action Andretti dropped
him on his head. Where were you? I mean, it was nice
to see that you were a full gear on Saturday, but where were you
on Friday when I almost died? And Cole yelled at him and asked him,
you know, when are you going to get it through your thick skull
that I'm not your best friend anymore? And he told him to back off
and leave me the hell alone before he hobbled away. So we have Roderick
Strong in his wheelchair, we have Adam Cole in his walking boot and his
crutches. We have MJF coming out with a pimp cane. We had the
walking wounded in this company. Swere of Strickland, of course, took the
worst beating of all on Saturday, and he came out with a little bit
of tape on his shoulder. So he's holding up okay, And Roddy was
left sitting there in his wheelchair looking very disappointed and very upset by Adam Call
snapping at him and saying the things that he said. If you did not
see I guess it would have been a collision. On Friday, But if
you didn't see it, there was a match between Roddy and Action Andretti,
and there was a spot where Roddy got dropped on his head and it was
very scary. Thankfully, he's next strong, so he was okay that that
almost went from storyline to reality in the blink of an eye. That almost
became a shoot the whole broken neck thing. He's very lucky that he came
out of that unscathed. After a break, Christian Cage was out next for
one of my favorite segments on the show. To I always I mean,
Christian Cage is, of course one of the best parts of the show.
He's doing the best work of his career right now. What's not to like?
Christian Cage comes to the ring with Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne, and they
had promoted coming into the show that Christian would be re christening them. He
was going to re christen Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne. So Christian comes out and
he points out that he didn't lose at full gear, and he points out
that Nick Wayne did not lose it full gear. So then he walks over
to Lucasaurus and he says, Lucasaurus is the one who lost their match at
full gear, and he said that that was unacceptable. He said he went
home and he thought about how to get rid of the stench of losing,
and then it hit him. It hit him like a ton of bricks.
He said that since Wayne and Lucasaurus are his children, he was time to
recreate them in his image. So Cage told Lucasaurus to take a knee,
and Lucasaurus stayed on his feet. Cage told him again take a knee,
and Lucasaurus did not budge. Cage called him a moron and ordered him to
take a knee, and then finally he did. Cage said the name Lucasaurus
will forever be associated with being a loser. And he said that he came
up with a name of strength and toughness because he considers Lucasaurus to be his
finisher, and so he will forever from this point forward, be known as
kill Switch. That's where Christian calls his finishing, so he is now kill
switch, which is actually a much better name than Lucrosaurus. So then Christian
called out Nick Wayne's name, and without hesitation, without even being asked to
do so, Nick Wayne immediately takes a knee and Christian tells him to get
up, and he told him you never get on your knees for another person,
which is a good life lesson for all of you in the chat.
Don't ever get on your knees for someone. He called Nick Wayne the son
that he never had. He called him his golden boy. He said,
you are me and he told him I love you Nick. You are a
golden boy, and you will forever be known as the prodigy, the prodigy
Nick Wayne, and the two of them hugged. Most brought a tear to
my eye. What a wonderfully touching moment between father and son. Hearing this
scene, all of a sudden, here comes Nick's mom who has a name.
I don't think they've ever identified her by name before this, Shana.
So Shana is running to the ring. Christian called her a terrible mother.
He said, sure, maybe you love Nick unconditionally gave him your unconditional love.
But that's not good enough, he said, you couldn't provide for him.
You make forty thousand dollars a year being a waitress. You think he
wanted his mom to be a waitress. He says, look at me.
I'm a legend, I'm a champion. I could give him the world.
Then he said, in the most Christian way possible, he said, it's
a good thing that her husband is dead already, because Nick would have disowned
him anyway. When he realized that Buddy Wayne wasn't as good of a wrestler
or a father as he is, he says, it's a shame it came
to this, because had she played her cards right, things may have been
a little bit different. Then he said, go punch your card because I
think you because I think your shift is a to start at denny he's so
fantastically douchey, like he's so fucking good in this role. Go punch your
card because your shift is about to start at Denny's. So then kill Switch
got in Christian's face, and Christian told him to get on his knees,
and he yelled at him again when he didn't do it. Get on your
knees. Get on your knees now, and then he slapped kill switch.
The crowd chanted Lucasaurus. Christian told him to get on his knees or he
would make him take that mask off and he would show the entire world why
he wears it in the first place. So Lucasaurus again, he did not
get down on his knees, and so Christian slapped him across the face.
Eh, and hold on a second, he slaps it. He slaps him
across the Uh. No, he didn't slap he uh, I think he
slapped him. Then he shoved him in but he shoved the dinosaur and he
goes backwards and he hits Nick's mom. So he slams into Shana and Shana
goes down. Nick's mom takes a bump down, she goes so then Nick
did not even make a move to check on his mom to see how she
was. Christian told him to go outside, and so he did, and
Nick Wayne goes under the ring and he grabs a chair and he puts the
chair in the ring. He grabs a second chair and brings that into the
ring as well, and Christian then hands the other chair to Lucasaurus puts the
first chair under his mom's head, hands the second chair to Lucasaurus and wants
him to bash this woman's brains and give her a kin chare them and Lucasaurus.
He just can't bring himself to do it. He hesitates it first,
and then finally he picks the chair up above his head and here comes Adam
Copeland. His music hits. Of course, can't come out of as his
music hits, so he hits the ring. He ducks the dinosaur. He
spears. Nick Wayne came face to face with Christian Lucasaurus, though pulls Christian
out to safety. Copeland gave Nick Wayne another spear, and then he gave
him an impaler DDT and then he set Wayne up for a one man concerto
and he smashed his skull as his mother watched. She was sitting in the
corner watching this. I thought she was gonna throw her body on him,
and then Copeland maybe would just hit her. Anyways, what Austin did.
Toledo and Lida covered up Matt Hardy and they did that whole segment back in
the day, which wwe would like to lock up in a vault. Never
to be seen again. I'm sure, but did it right in front of
the of the Uh the kid's mom just smashed his head. That has me
wondering. After this segment was over, I'm watching this and I'm thinking it
has me wondering if we're gonna again Nick Wayne's mom going heel soon, if
maybe she'll take Christian up on his offer of you know, if he plays
your cards right, things might have been a little bit different. Maybe she'll
get a little bit tired of punching the clock at Denny's and she'll want to
be with a real man, and maybe she'll end up with Christian, and
then Nick Wayne can have his mom with him as his chaperone in this group
wherever they go. But I wonder if that's where this may possibly end up
going. This is a strong segment. It further cemented Christian as the fantastic
douchebag that he is, and oh is he a fantastic douchebag. There's none
better in the entire business right now than this guy right here. The way
that he abuses Lucasaurus, the way that he manipulates Nick Wayne. Not a
single redeeming quality about this man, not one. He doesn't come out there
and try to get a pop. He doesn't come out there and try to
be cool. His goal, his sole intent is to go out there and
get heat and get people to boo and hate his guts, no matter what
he does, no matter what he says. Now it is to the point
I think where he's so good at what he does that there are people who
would cheer for him and do get a kick out of what he does just
because it's entertaining. But again, no redeeming quality to his character whatsoever.
The things he goes out there and says about this guy's you know, dead
father and her dead husband. And look, when the time comes that it's
going to be him and Copeland one on one, and we get those you
know, dueling promos from the two of them. I mean, Copeland,
forget about I don't even think Edge even knew who his father was, so
I'm sure Christian could have a field day with that one. But remember Copeland
warned him weeks ago. He warned him that in the end he's gonna end
up alone. Lucasaurus and Nick Wayne are gonna drop him, and so that
that's eventually where this is going to lead to. And then we'll get the
inevitable Legend Christian reunion. But that's for much later on. The first order
of business is to get the first singles match in Copeland and Christian in an
aw ring that they have a couple of shows coming up in Montreal, their
first shows ever in Montreal are coming up in two weeks beginning of December,
and I thought, you know, weeks ago, I thought maybe they're gonna
do that first match on one of the Montreal shows. You take two Canadians
and put them in the ring together. But now that we're two weeks away,
that's way too quick of a turnaround. I see it more as a
World's End match. You could do the first match of World's End between them.
It's a big deal, you know, to get edging Christian in the
ring together for the first time in a match against each other. I would
save that for World's End. Yeah, you got MJF and Samoa Joe.
You put Copeland and Christian on there. That's two big matches right there on
the show, plus the finals of the Continental Classic, and all of a
sudden, World's End is shaping up to be a pretty big night. Speaking
of the Continental Classic, we had our second gold match of the Night Gold
League. It was rusche On one against Switchblade j White. White came to
the ring with the guns and they all acted shocked when the referee said,
you gotta go because nobody's allowed at ringside, no managers. Why we didn't
get Prince Nana would swerve earlier in the night. You gotta go, and
they acted they were shocked by this. Apparently nobody clewed them in as to
the rules of this tournament. Now, there was no Juice Robinson with them,
and Juice was not at full gear on Saturday either. They shot an
angle on TV last week where MJF attacked him. He supposedly hit him with
a giant television monitor screen, whatever it was. That was a cover for
a real injury. Juice Robinson has a back injury that he needs back surgery
for, and that sounds serious when you hear back surgery. Apparently it's not
so serious that it's going to keep him out for an extended period of time.
I don't know what the nature of the surgery is on his back.
It's good that it doesn't sound that serious, but you know, it's still
back surgery. So he's going to be gone for a while that we have
not seen Rusche on Dynamite in a very long time now. If you're wondering
how long has it been since we've seen Rush on this show, you would
have to go back to Dynamite all the way in May. Remember that match
he had with Jungle Boy which got a lot of people talking about how unprofessional
Rouche is and he went into business for himself because he was kicking the shit
at a Jungle Boy and Jungle Boy was the one going into the four Pillars
match at double or nothing, challenging for the world title. But that was
it was by design. They wanted Jungle Boy to go in there and take
a beating and then in the end he would pull out the wind, which
is what happened. But that's how far back you'd have to go. We've
seen Rouch on Collision recently, but it's nice to finally get him back on
Dynamite, which is still their primary number one show, so it was nice
to see him back on the show. Rush hit an early shoulder block and
a drop kick with Jay White on the ropes, which forced him to regroup
outside. Sid says back surgery from carrying Bullet Club Gold is that J White
slander? I hear I like J White and Juice Robinson. So White goes
outside to regroup. Rushe wanted it choke him with the TV chords. Paul
Turner went over and put a stop to that and said, look, I'll
disqualify you if you do that. So Rush ended up winning a chop battle.
We got a lot of that here in this match. You won a
chop battle inside the ring. Then he hit a pump fake kick before shooting
the l I J pos heading into commercial. J White took control during the
break, but it was very short lived. Rush had a flying forearm and
three amigos for the near fall. Rush took too long to follow up,
and he missed the top rope Senton, which led to a brainbuster by J.
White for a two count. Rush had a pump knee and ran into
a yurinagi for two. He chopped his way out of a blade runner attempt,
and then he hit a snap German soup plex, only for J.
White to catch a kick into a dragon screw Rush Rush. I was gonna
say he rushed. He rushed in. He was trying to rush in with
bulls horns, but White avoided it, and then he looked for a blade
Runner again nearly collided with the referee and this allowed Jay White to hit a
low blow and then finally he nailed blade Runner and he picked up the wind
three points for the switchblade. This was a chop fest for a good part
of it, and they beat the holy hell out of each other. These
two damn good match here, I thought. Between them again, I'm a
little torn between this and the main event. As far as which was the
best tournament match of the night, I probably would give it to the main
event. But this one was a damn good match, and it was a
nice rebound win for Jay White. He needed this win coming out of the
loss. Everybody made such a big deal out of the you know, the
loss to the one legged man at full gear, and I didn't think it
killed him as much as some people did. But he needed this win.
He needed this win. It was the right move. He got the win.
I'll tell you what else I like about this, And if you're a
new japan fan, you'll know what I'm talking about. The consistency of Jy
here in this round robin having to cheat to win in the same way that
he used to cheat to win in the g one. So I like that
consistency there. Some things never change, always looking for a way to get
that just that upper hand, and he'll do whatever it takes to win.
No different. Here fits his m O perfectly and so Jy gets his three
points in the tournament. Now we got footage of Ricky Starks and Big Bill.
They retain their aw World Tag team titles in a four way ladder match
on Saturday at Full Gear. We we got footage of them after the show.
They were on the dais with Tony Kahn at the media scrum and Chris
Jerrich walked in and had some words for them. It's gonna be Jericho and
Omega challenging them for the tag team titles. Very soon. Could be a
world's end. Then in the hallway they attacked Jericho. Kenny wasn't there.
For those who don't know, Kenny, Omega's cat is sick and so he
didn't. As soon as the match was over and the show was over,
he left the building to go home to be with his sick cat, So
he wasn't there. Big Bill and Ricky Starks they jumped Jericho Jericho in the
match on Saturday. He suffered a gash on his arm on a spot with
the steel steps. I think got ten stitches in his arm. So they
attacked the injured arm and they held the arm up against the wall and I
think it was Big Bill who shoved a production case equipment case into the arm
and they left Jericho laying. So again, we're going to be getting that
tag team title match very soon. Jericho and Omega got the Young Bucks shot
by beating them, and so they'll wrestle Ricky in Big Bill very soon.
Rene was one with RJ City. They had a microphone stand. This is
like an Awards ceremony here, and they had they pulled out an envelope.
RJ pulled out an envelope to announce the winner of the aw Women's World Title,
and they said, and the aw Women's Championship goes too, And then
they said her name at the exact same time in stereo, timeless Tony Storm,
just like it was the Oscars, And they played her music and they
cut to a shot. She was sitting in the front row in the crowd
and Luther was with her, and she got up to me. She couldn't
believe it. She comes out of the crowd and she's coming up the ramp
and she almost tripped and she yelled at Luther and Mariah May brought out the
aw Women's Title. Two brought out the aw Women's Title to present to Tony's
Storm. Tony said that it was embarrassing because she didn't have anything prepared.
She was caught off guard here. And then she put on her reading glasses
and she pulled out a sheet of paper and she thanked mister Anthony Kahan and
the people at Warner Discovery, especially Jack Warner who's been dead for forty five
years. So they started to play her off. They started playing her music
because I'm not done yet. She thanked the little Tony Storms out there who
want to be me. She said, this is her spot. You will
not take it, you will not make it. And if you'll notice,
behind her, Mariah May had a very well, shall we say, a
disenfranchised look on her face. This seemed to bother Mariah May. You can
see where that story is going. The Storm told all the kids to stay
in school. Mariah May went back to viling and applauded. Once her speech
was over, then sky Blues music interrupts and outcomes sky Blue to march on
down to the ring for the next match, and Tony Storm was highly insulted
by this. So between the interruption there at the end by sky Blue and
then sky Blue winning her next match, which came right after this, it's
pretty clear what the match is going to be. Probably for world's end,
Tony Storm's first challenger looks to be sky Blue for the aw Women's World title.
We'll see where the Mariah May story goes as far as how long it
takes for them to get there. This is a story that should be playing
out over much of the next year. There really is no reason for them
to rush into anything with Mariah May and Tony Storm in the next few months.
Like they literally just introduced this woman on television in a backstage segment two
weeks ago. So soon she'll start wrestling, and she could really kind of,
you know, buddy up to Tony Storm even more. She could wrestle
matches on her behalf, right, which was the idea that I had.
But that will help prolong things for a while, and then you can eventually
do the match, but there's no need to rush into it. And then
you still have Jamie Hater waiting in the wings. Whenever she comes back,
right, she's gonna probably want her belt back. So there's a few different
things that Tony Storm can be doing in the first half of twenty twenty four
as we get a very entertaining segment out of it tonight. I enjoyed this.
I see. I love the gimmick. If you don't like this gimmick,
if you think it's too campy and too goofy, you're not gonna like
this. This is not gonna be for everybody. But I love it because
it's just different than what you would not have seen something like this in the
early days of aw And there are a lot of things that we would have
seen in the early days of Dynamite that I wish they would maybe get back
to. But there's also things that I don't think Tony Kahan would have done
because it wasn't in his comfort zone, or it would have been perceived as
it's too WWE, it's too sports entertainment, right, But it's okay to
have some stuff like that on the show. And Tony Storm is just she's
knocking it out of the park. Like she has embraced this role. She's
thrown herself into this and I just think it's just fantastic. It's great,
and I'm so happy that she broke away from the outcasts. You see Soreya
and Ruby Soho in this very next seedgment in fact right they were out there
and it's like they're still doing the outcast thing and it's so played out.
I'm like, thank god Tony Storm branched away from this. Otherwise she would
be dragged down by it. Instead, she's broken away and she's doing her
thing, and I think it's great. So we had Ana j Ruby Soho,
and sky Blue in a triple threat man. Soreya was out there in
Ruby's corner. Angela Parker and Matt Minard were out there as well with Anna
Jay because they've been running an angle though on rampage, mostly on rampage where
there's a little thing going on between Angelo Parker and Ruby, so little something
something going on there, have a little feeling for each other. So sky
Blue set up for an early move on the apron. Parker grabbed her foot,
which allowed Ana Jade to knock her off the apron. Ex Caliber noted
that there are no disqualifications in three way matches. Ruby ended up at ringside.
She traded smiles with Angelo Parker and Sorea and Menard. Both of them
were not very happy. It's like two parents that don't want their kids dating.
Right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. All right,
Let's put our brains together and figure out how we can squash this. And
they pulled them apart. Back inside, Blue hit a cross body block from
the ropes onto both opponents. Blue went for Code Blue on Anna, but
Anna hooked her arms and slammed her face first of the mat. Anna had
the pin, Parker broke it up. Minard grabbed Soho's foot from the floor
to stop her from running the ropes. Soraya then yelled at Matt Minard and
Ruby got knocked off the apron into the waiting arms of Angelo Parker, and
the two of them smiled at each other. You were very happy. Siraya
pulled Ruby away and scolded her in the ring, though Sky Blue avoided and
his queens Slayer and Super kicked her and then followed up with a cutter and
got the pin because Ruby was late in trying to break it up, and
Sorea and Ruby continued to argue as they went to the back. Anna Jay
looked annoyed by Angelo Parker. This was more about Ruby and Angelo than anything
else that was really happening during this match. It does give sky Blue a
win, right, she was not victorious on Saturday at Full Gear in the
TBS title match. Julia Hart is the new TVs champion, but it gives
her a win in her hometown. They were in Chicago, that's her hometown.
And again it looks like she'll probably end up being Tony Storms first.
Upon Tony Storm meets somebody to beat, why not Eyeblue. So that's where
that looks to be going. But the thing with the Angelo Parker Ruby Soho
stuff is it's the first time their angle has gotten any kind of play on
Wednesday, which is the main show. This is a rampage angle. So
I'm sure you have a number of people who are watching this and they're not
really they haven't been following it, they haven't been keeping up with what's going
on with Angelou Parker and Ruby Soho, and so they may not know what's
going on, but it's a rampage angle that for one night anyway, migrated
over to Dynamite. Renee approached Wardlow backstage. Who happened to just be standing
there. He was doing curls with a piece of equipment. I do that
all the time randomly during the day. You know, I've been doing my
notes here and trying to figure out what are we going to cover on the
sound off this week, and I'll just randomly pick up a piece of furniture
and start curling it. I mean, come on, you know what we
do here, right, monster has to get his pump on somehow, so
he's curling this piece of equipment and she asks, what are you waiting for
when it comes to getting revenge on MJF? And Wardlow said the world doesn't
revolve around MJF. From the Downfall of the Devil will be on his time
aar Fox showed up and said Wardlow was putting the blame on everybody else,
and Wardlow said he doesn't need advice from anybody, and he dropped Fox with
a head button, because who the fuck is ar Fox to walk up to
Wardlow and start giving him advice. The guy's a loser, who was the
last match he won? The hell is Wardlow going to take advice from this
guy? For if he was on a ten match winning streak. Okay,
I could see that Wardlow could certainly use something. He's not going to be
taking advice from R. Fox. The main event was the third and final
Gold League match of the Continental Classic Here Tonight, first time ever one on
one John Moxley and Mark Briscoe. They traded strikes early, with Briscoe firing
off some redneck kung fu led to a drop kick through the ropes to Moxley
on the floor, and that followed by a brisco blockbuster off the apron.
So Moxley avoided a froggy bow after this, and then he booted Briscoe off
the apron into the floor, which took us into the final picture and picture.
During the break, Moxley busted brisco open and said, damn, it
should have been me. Briscoe battled back with an inziguri and a thrush shot.
Moxley exploded out of the corner, ran into an overhead brisco throw.
Moxley countered a neck breaker into a choke. He transitioned into an arm breaker,
but Briscoe got the ropes. Moxley cut off brisco in the ropes.
Briscoe Bitmoxley and then dove right into a kick to the gut and a paradigm
shift, which brisco No sold into a drop kick. Both men were down.
Briscoe connected on a rolling death valley driver and then he hit the froggy
bow only got a two count out of it. Brisco death Boxley with a
lariat. He wanted a Jay driller, but Moxley hit a King Kong lariat
and followed that with a death rider, and Mark Briscoe kicked out, and
at that point the crowd came alive because they wanted to see Mark Briscoe do
the impossible and pick up a win over the nearly unbeatable John Moxley. Now,
John Moxley lost to Orange Cassidy on Saturday, but if you look at
his career at aw his win lost record over the last two years, it's
pretty fucking good. So they wanted to see Mark Briscoe pick up the upset
win, which is what this would have been. This would have been an
upset win. So they're rallying behind Mark brisco Moxley hits a half in half.
Brisco rolls to his feet. It's into a forearm battle. Moxley cut
the moment him off though with a curb stump and another death rider and he
got the pin and he picks up the three points. Moxley then after the
match was over, showed respect. Both men shook hands and Moxley celebrated and
that took us off the air. So the Continental Classics standings now coming out
of this show look like this. Three points go to Swerve, Strickland,
Switchblade, Jay White, and John Moxley, Jay lethal Rousch and Mark Briscoe
get no points, and that is where we are. I stand by what
I said at the beginning. I think Mark Briscoe should have won. I
think this was a mistake by Tony Kahan. I think you want to set
the tone early in a tournament like this. You want people to think,
Okay, maybe there will be some upsets in this tournament. Not many people
would have picked Mark Briscoe to beat John Moxley in the main event of this
show. Doesn't hurt John Moxley in the least. If anything, it puts
him behind. Now he's got to work that much harder to rack up points
if he wants to try to get to the finals. So I think that
was a mistake. I think the other outcomes were predictable and they were fine.
I think Swerve winning was fine. I think Jay White winning was the
right choice, but I think Moxley should have taken the loss in this match.
If John Moxley can lose to fucking Toriano years ago in New Japan,
he can lose to Mark Brisco here in the main event of this tournament on
Dynamite. That was a mistake. Now, because of the holiday weekend,
Rampage is being bumped. Rampage is being bumped to Saturday at seven o'clock,
which means is a three hour block of AW one Saturday, most of which
is going to be head to head with Survivor Series. This will not end
well for AAW It does not usually end well when they're up against the WWE
pay per view. This will be no different, but not much they can
do. That's just the nature of the schedule. The Wave falls now Rampage
and Collision. This Saturday, we have Daniel Garcia against Claudio Castignoli in the
Continental Classic Blue League match Eddie Kingston one on one with Brody king That's the
other Continental Classic Blue League match. Take a look at the Twitter poll Dynamite
so far clocking in with a seventy two percent score thumbs up and twenty seven
point seven percent thumbs down. Of course, you can vote as always on
Twitter at solo monster. All right, let's take a look at your super
chats here. Get them on in because I'm going to zip on through this
right now. I want to thank you guys for hanging out with me,
well eight hundred plus here with me on Thanksgiving Eve. I love it.
Thank you for spending part of your holiday with me. Let's kick things off
here with Steve Joseph, who dropped a five spot and said Solomonster Paul and
Oates. No, did you hear the story about the restraint? Yes?
I did. I think it's only one one restraining order. I believe it's
from Hall. I think Daryl Hall is the one who filed the restraining order
against the John Oates. Yes, I'm devastating. I'm gonna be sitting a
visual lighting candles, a little prayer circle, hoping they get back together and
they resolve their issues. You know, they're getting older. Daryl Hall doesn't
look it, but he's like eighty years old. I mean he's getting up
there. Like I hate hearing stuff like this. I hate hearing this.
Brother Buff Salisbury, Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. Do you think that we
will get the team of Van Damn Housen at least once in AW. Yeah,
maybe why not. They'll pay RVD. I'm sure he'll come in and
do whatever they want him to do. Lady fire Panda with the twenty bucks
say, Fire Panda, thank you again for those gifted memberships. Between Fire
Panda and Silver Tower alone, we are getting back closer to where we were
previously, so keep it up. Who would you trust more to tell the
truth if your life depended on it. Vince McMahon or Hulk Hogan. Vince
McMahon. Daddy Ball says Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
Laker's Pat says, do the Prince Nana dance? I did all my dancing
in that opening intro. We'll danced out. Maybe I'll do the Prince Nana
dance at House of Glory next week when he comes in. Would swork?
Maybe I'll do it there. John Doe thirty four. I'm tired of seeing
Ring of Honor titles and mentions on AW programming. And number two, I
want to see Solomaster against Tyrus at all in Wembley. You couldn't pay me
enough, although all I would have to do really is just outrun him and
eventually he'll just get so winded that he'll collapse and that I can just cover
him in pinom Paul Carpenter Hall versus Oates. I can't go for that,
uh, Nick Grosso. I really liked the Christian cage segment after what Adam
Copeland did. Do you see Mama Wayne turning heel? I believe I do?
I believe I do. Why do we keep seeing her? Why would
she come out here? Right? Unless this was leading to something, I
wouldn't be surprised if they do the initial Adam Copeland Christian cage match, and
actually Nick Wayne's mom factors into it in some way because she had to sit
in the corner and watch her son get brutalized by this man. That right
there could be the impetus behind her costing Copeland a win against Christian. I
think that's where this is going. Oh boy, look look who just showed
up? Look who just showed up? And gifty fifty more channel memberships.
If I had the bat signal right now, I would be shining it.
It is silver Tower. Look at all of these new members mission impossible reviews.
You could also buy a membership. I'm just saying, but yeah,
these are rent I am Batman is now a member. I just mentioned the
bat signal, and look at this, we have a new member. I
Am Batman. Could not have timed that any better. We got a lot
of new GWO members throw up the sign well the im on in Rojo Bet
says Swerve is my pick to win the Continental Classic and is the more logical
choice. I would agree. Again, I would prefer that he focus his
sights on the world title. I don't see that happening if he's going to
be running around with the Triple Crown defending it in different places. But if
he's not in the world title mix, you know again in their world title
plans in the near future, then it should be him. You've got to
keep the momentum going. You have to capitalize on these two big wins somehow,
and this would be the likeliest way for them to do that. Plus
it gets him in a big match at world's end. If it's Danielson in
Swerve, which is what I would have as the final, that's a hell
of a match. And he's got two straight wins over Hangman Paige. Now
imagine him going in there and getting a win over Brian Danielson, who's turning
around. I think less than a week later, he's going to the Tokyo
Dome Slokata and you have swerved beat dangleson at world's end. That'd be huge,
fright, huge, huge, Silver Tower says on my commute home,
yeat Well, apparently Silver Tower just got home. I guess maybe he just
walked in the door and gifted fifty more, Hey, Silver Tower thing domination
Warrior? Would you whoop that trick or swerve when you drive? I definitely
don't swerve when I drive, but I've been on the road with other people
who do. I know Jeff Hardy certainly has I would whoop that trick.
That's what I would be doing. You're not gonna catch me swerving. Face
Beer says, Woo. Energy is in that mug? Uh you got me?
H? You just you just figured out what's in this mug? We
got We got mushrooms galore in here. Of course they're they're functional. They're
functional. They're not psychedelic or are they pick Grosso with the nineteen ninety nine.
After tonight, I am more convinced than ever that Adam Cole is the
devil. Right before the lights went out, Cole reached into his pot.
There you go, there you go into his pocket to trigger the tron.
See, I disagree with you on that last point, though I do think
the injury is serious. I do think he's gonna be out for a while.
He could be the devil. They're going to do everything in their power
to prolong it. But see, I told you that he had his hand
in his pocket, and unless he was playing pocket pool, I think there
was a reason for them. He would explain why that video came up at
that exact moment. Brandon Walker, thank you very much. It's a very
kind comment of you. Appreciate that. I posted a video on my Twitter
and on Facebook. Video I put together a few years ago after my mother
passed away, because I've digitized all of you know, we have family VHS
tapes and old birthday parties and stuff. And I bought an El Gatto video
capture card years ago and I've used it to convert a lot of things.
But I've converted all the family stuff. I put together a video and I
post it every year and always brings a smile to my face. That's up
there. If you didn't see it. If you want to take a look
at that. Peter Cordieri says Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you too,
Jessica Hermann with the five dollars super jet, Happy Turkey Day. This show
is a thumbs up simply for the return of the very nice, very evil
Danhusen. Love that Dan Housen. Yeah, Dan Housen is one of those
either love love the guy or you hate his guys. I don't think there's
any in between. You fall into one camp over the other before you fall
into Naya's hole, and then there's no getting out. It's like a black
hole. Once you fall in, that's it. You're done. Plus Ultra
Adrian with a ten dollars super Chat. Sorry, I haven't been here in
a while. I wanted to wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving.
Hope you were able to have all the noodle pudding that you can eat.
Well. A happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. And I will be having
my google as it's called my noodle pudding. Yes, indeed, I am
very much looking forward to having that tomorrow. I'm gonna gorge I'm gonna skip
lunch, by the way, I'm gonna fast between breakfast and dinner, because
I just know I'm gonna stuff myself. I'm not gonna be able to close
my belt. Awful, it's so disgusting, But I'm going to enjoy myself.
I hope you do too. Deontae Swanier, where are we by the
way on the lights? Be the book? Oh or three fifty? Yeah?
Not looking good. I thought we were gonna get, you know,
a nice little Thanksgiving Eve edition to be the booker. But it's not looking
good. Deontae swanie Happy Thanksgiving solo all love my friend. Thank you for
always being funny and knowledgeable. Skyblue won a match, so my celebration starts
early. You go, you go. Now you can celebrate and have a
drink with your cake. Sean Dee with the five bucks says, but what
if you need to suck something? Can we get on our knees? Then
what are we supposed to do? Then lie on our backs? I think
not. Hey, whatever you do in your home is your business. Some
people are more flexible than others. Some people can do it upside down.
I wouldn't know, but hey, you do you. I'm just saying,
don't ever let anybody tell you to get on your knees unless you want it.
Arabian Nights swerve against j White first time ever will be awesome. Roberto
Benet twenty twenty three. I'm not even a Christian fan and this is the
best work he has ever done. Absolutely absolute. Jacob Donnelly bre Moode has
been activated. Happy Thanksgiving, Well it wouldn't be Thanksgiving, I guess with
that, Bremode. Thank you, Jacob, have that very happy Turkey Day.
Dylan Hensley with the ten dollars super Chat. Big news from AAPW.
We struck a deal with Roku, so our shows will soon reach a bigger
audience and cement us as a major league promotion in Texas. Looks like I
joined AAPW at the right time. We'll congratulations you let me know when it's
there and if you are ever on there? How cool would it be?
You know, Dylan's been checking in with es for months at wrestling school,
letting us know like what he's been learning, and you know, drills and
all kinds of stuff that he's been doing. And how cool would it be
if if you know, one day we'll we'll be able to put Roku on
and there there he is coming off the top rope. That's awesome. Arabian
night. Hope Joe wins. He has not been a world champion since two
thousand and eight. Yeah, that's criminal, that's criminal, absolutely criminal,
wild Bird. I want to drop by and say Happy Thanksgiving to you,
Sola Monster. Enjoyed the delicious turkey, the stuffing and the peak dan Pot.
Wild Bird, you have been pardoned. I would think that Thanksgiving is
probably your least favorite holiday. You know, kind of scary, right,
w pardon so you're safe. Rizzo, I'm sorry about Hall and Oates.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the chat, and also go Lions.
Bace Beers says, buy or sell mis beating seen at WrestleMania or Warrior
beating Hogan at WrestleMania Warrior beating Hogan? Are you comparing the Are you comparing
the two magics? Are you drunk? Also buy or sell Dingo Warrior or
Miss two thousand and six. I didn't watch Dingo Warriors, so I didn't
have world Class. I wasn't watching him before he came to WWE, So
I'll go misso six, although I don't really care for either one shout outs
the Silver Tower Fire, Panda, Groovy Goose, Doctor Scorpio, gwo and
everybody else. Happy thing. Same to you Andreeque Gotti. And you do
the pre again with the Prince Nana it. You're asking me if I can
do it. I can't. I can't do it like Noana. No,
I've tried. I failed. It's totally uncool when I do it, when
he does it, it's just spot up. I feel like I would be
soiling it if I even attempted to do it. Sean Dee. Does the
NXT title not count as a world title according to WWE? I don't believe
it does. No, I don't believe so, And I don't think the
WWE counts Charlotte Charlotte's NXT title runs as part of her total. Maybe they
do, I don't know, but I didn't think they counted them as part
of her overall total. So I would say, but again, some people
might bliss fan Friendship Frog died three years ago today, only you would know
that that's an incredible piece of trivia. I had completely forgotten about Friendship Frog,
and the fact that you know that Friendship Frog died three years ago to
this day is incredible to me. I feel like if Bliss fan was ever
on a wrestling version of Jeopardy and they had a Bray Wyatt or Alexa Bliss
category, he would run the board. I mean it wouldn't even like nobody
else on that stage would have a chance, Like, they wouldn't even they
wouldn't be able to get their thumb on the buzzer quick enough. He would
just wipe out the entire category. But I don't know if he would be
able to answer any of the other questions, Like I could see him going
oh for sixty like Becky Lynch did it apparently on Celebrity Jeopardy. But if
they had that category, he would smoke everybody on stage. Bass Beer has
got of seduction with the nineteen ninety two and Arabian Night. Could you see
Camille signing with WWE when her deal ends next month? With the nwawwe could
be getting her and Julius soon. Also, Rouse is underrated. Yeah,
Camille apparently is going to be a free agent very soon. I don't see
her going to WWE. I think WWE has enough right now. I mean,
she's like she's a powerhouse right well, they just sign one in j
I think that Camille ends up with Impact. I think Camille ends up in
the knockouts division, and then maybe eventually in aw there's a better chance of
that happening. Rumplemaine says, maybe TK is the day I ran that down
as a possibility when I the whole clip is on YouTube Who the hell is
the Devil? And I ran down all the possibilities of who it could be,
Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Jack Perry, we put Dob Ziggler,
And then I said, what if Tony Kahan was the devil? How terrible?
How awful? Would that be? Right? I just kind of threw
the name out there as a possibility that would be awful, that would be
off the Winston slip forgetting the name of TJ. That's not unusual. Again,
I knew it was Tom something I just couldn't, just couldn't. It
was right there and I just couldn't figure it out. And Andre Israel wants
to send a very happy Thanksgiving shout out to the entire Green World Order that
we have here in our chat, So happy Thanksgiving to the GWO. Let
me make sure that I have nailed all of the super chats, and I
believe I am all caught up. Bace Bears says, Bray once killed Rambling
Rabbit. That was a dark promo. Oh yeah, he he murdered him
with the hammer, right, with that giant hammer. I remember that.
Yeah, there was a lot of very disturbing shit that came out of some
of those Firefly Funhouse promo segments. All right, so we are all caught
up. Very good. Well, thank you guys. Matt Riddle cut his
hair. He Matt Riddle cut his hair. Is there a picture of this?
Well, hey, you know, sometimes you changed things up a little
bit. It's not the worst thing in the world that you could be doing.
Let mean, case in point, you saw that covid hair from the
classic clip that I played earlier. Right, to go from that to this,
it's a big improvement, big improvement. All right, I am told,
I'm told that we have just hit four three on the Like, why
did it take this long? You disappoint me? This is it right here,
This is all you need. Boom thumbs up. It's not that hard,
you disappoint me. But we got there. We got there, so
that's all. That's all the matters. We got there, So let's go
ahead and be the booker before we get on at it. Ladies and gentlemen,
it is now time to be the booker. One more round. Be
the booker here Thanksgiving edition, before we head into the holiday, and we
will kick things off here with a tag team match. You guys know how
this works. We start with the tag match, we book a women's match,
we book a singles match. That way, we cover all of our
bases, cover all the bases, and we begin with the North. We
just picked them the other day, Ethan Page and Josh Alexander, perfectly capable
tag team. But we already picked them just a few days ago. It's
gonna be the North. Didn't we just book this exact match the other day.
It's a great match, don't get me wrong, But I thought we
booked this exact match the other day, the American Wolves Davey Richards and Eddie
Edwards against the North. I think we booked our first rematch. Here on,
be the booker. I'm morphing into Vince McMahon. It's gonna be a
series of rematches. I'm be the booker. I don't want this to turn
into rematch amania. I'm trying to book some unique matches here. Come on,
now still though, gets the bell. So we're we're off to a
good start, all right. Here we go, ladies, be the booker.
We begin with timeless Tony Storm. Yes, the reigning AW Women's World
champion. Look at it, she's timeless timeless Tony Storm and Rihea Ripley.
I need a minute. What a match? What a match? Rear Ripley
and timeless Tony Storm. So the reigning AW World champion against the reigning World
Heavyweight champion on Monday night? Row, how's that? How's that for a
match? Right? You want to book a women's match? There you go.
That's how you do it. That's how you do it. And now
on the men's side, we begin with Batista, the Animal, Dave Bautista,
and Dave Bautista is going to be going one on one. We should
get a drum roll for this. There we go, Dave Bautista one on
one with Al Snow. You know the same Al Snow who once said famously
the only good wrestling matches are the ones that drew money, to which one
fan replied and said, by that logic, could you say that you yourself
have never had a good match in your entire career? Still the sickest burn
that I have ever heard. Batista against al Snow and Head. See the
thing about Head is Head can't get on her knees because she's got no legs.
Anyway, we almost did it. We almost went for a clean sweet,
but unfortunately we felt just a little bit short. Two out of three
is not terrible. Two out of three is very good. But Batista against
Al Snow is definitely not the match I was looking to book in main event.
RUMPELMANE Rumple Maine. Just your super chat just disappeared. The chat is
moving way too fast. Let me make sure I'm not missing anything. Here,
Here we go. We'll get to you in a second. Doctor Bropio,
Doctor Bropio. What if the devil is evil and his torture grew?
Oh no, don't even don't even joke about that. Don't even joke about
that. The house of torture evil, That would be from the sixth circle
of Hell. No, it's not evil. Can't be. It can't be,
It can't be. Libido Bell says, I got a girlfriend and lost
her in a span of three weeks. Don't date your coworker. She broke
up with me and is more upset than I am. No, wait,
she broke up with me and is more upset than I am. The dish
track I made didn't help. Well, you did learn a very valuable lesson.
I will say that is good advice not to date your coworker. Not
that people have not had success dating their coworker before, but generally speaking,
it probably is not a good move. But I'm very sorry to hear that
that sucks. The only thing I could say is it happened in the span
of three weeks, So look, that's not a long time Billieve me,
you can. You're gonna end up doing a lot better than her. Her
loss, that's right, her loss three weeks, shake it off, Shake
it off, and move on. That's the best advice I can give you.
Wasn't, by the way, in three weeks girlfriend, I don't know.
I don't know if I would use that word three weeks. It's more
like a mutual acquaintance. You gotta go a little bit longer before you can
say we're officially in a relationship. Is it really a relationship? Though?
After three weeks, I am intrigued by the idea though that there is a
dish track, I'm not gonna lie. I would like to hear that.
Yeah, it's especially bad if you work in an office that's smaller. I
feel like, if you work for a big company and you have like hundreds
of employees or multiple offices, not that it makes it any better, but
that's different. But if you work in a small office, you're taking a
real risk. Right, things go wrong. It's just very awkward. Now
you gotta go in, you gotta see them every day. It's like,
oh my god, you know, who needs that? Who needs that?
Just not a good idea. Hoffman says, a month equals a relationship.
Yeah, I think a month. A month sounds about right. Even a
month though, uh month, I don't know. Even a month seems a
little short. But I can live with that. I can live with a
month. If you work in different departments, that could work. Yeah,
Like I said, I mean, if it's a small office where you have
to come in and see that person every day. If it's the girl at
the front desk and you come into the office every single day, in the
first face you see is her face, Like, it's fucking terrible. You're
gonna come into work every day and you're gonna have to see each other,
and it's gonna be so awkward and it's gonna be so uncomfortable if it didn't
end right. So it's like, don't even take the chance. But if
you work in a different department, yeah, all right, whatever doesn't go
right, all right, I'll go from you know, men's pants to women's
bras or whatever. If you work like in a department store, let's say,
right, I work at the jewelry counter at Macy's. Right, me
and the girl that I work with, we got drunk one night. I
went back to her place. YadA, YadA, YadA. Didn't work out.
Now I have to come to work and see her. Yeah, fuck
it, I'm gonna go work in the Glasswaars department. Right, there's always
ways around it. But if you're in an office and you have like five
people in the office, you're fucked. You better start sending your resume out.
Who needs to deal with that? Met my wife working together at Walmart.
But understand because my ex worker is there too. Walmart's a big place,
though, my god, one Walmart is like two different worlds. Yeah,
you could work on one side of the Walmart and then the other one
works on the other side. You never even have to see each other.
Is Cloverfield the best monster movie? It's definitely one of my favorites. I
know some people aren't a big fan of it. Some people might go old
school, you know, Godzilla. I was never a Godzilla guy. Honestly,
I'm a Cloverfield guy. And I believe that they're working on a proper
sequel now, so that has me very exciting now that the strike is over,
hopefully we'll hear something about it soon. It's awkward, though, because
at one point my wife was my ex's boss. It's dangerous, that's what
that is. I met Santina Morella and his daughter, Arianna Grace from NXT
today. They were really cool. Didn't know she was his kid. Yeah,
Oh no, he talks about her all the time. I heard about
her even before she signed with WWE. I think she was training. He
had a school. I think maybe she was training there. But I think
she's been in some pageants, like beauty pageants, and she's a beautiful girl.
But yeah, no, he talks her up a lot, so I
knew that. I knew that for a while. By the way, we
have reached the AMA portion of the stream, so before we wrap up.
If you've got questions laying on me, I'll see a rapid fire. I'll
see if I can answer them here. Before we get out of here,
we'll have some fun. Libido Bell tweeted the song for you. Okay,
So Libido Bell tweeted the dish track to me. I wish I could play
it, but probably legally right music, I can't play it on here,
so I will check that out after though. The girl from screen even got
fired, so there's no more sam oh yeah, j oh god. What's
her name? Jenna? Jenna or Tega? I think? Or so?
What happened there? I think one got fired, another one walked off the
studios basically destroyed the movie. They're not gonna get Nev Campbell back. She
basically told them to fuck off after the last one. Write something about the
pay scale or something. I'd be shocked if they convinced her to come back.
They basically just screwed over the entire franchise now, So good job there,
idiots. Bace Beers says Dominic should shave his head. Are you kidding
me? He's got that wonderful mullet going on. You gotta save that for
a hair mag a WrestleMania, ray Masterio against the Dominic hair against masks.
The only thing is it's gonna be Mysterio and Escobar, probably at WrestleMania.
So I don't know when they do Rayan Dominic again, maybe at WrestleMania forty
one. By then his hair will be down to his fucking ass. This
guy can't believe how long it is. Mandy Rose says that she's returning to
wrestling in twenty twenty four. What kind of wrestling there she can specify.
It could be mud wrestling. I look just like my grandfather. I've had
a lot of people tell me that, yeah, because there's a picture in
that video I put up on my Twitter, the video I did for my
mom for her birthday, and there is a photo in there of my mother
with her father, my grandfather, And now I've had a lot of people
tell me I look just like him. I wish I had more memories with
him. My brother has none because when my grandfather passed away, my gosh,
when my grandfather passed away, my brother was six months old. I
was five, So I have some memories with him, but he passed away
in eighty seven. He was only fifty five. So I wish I had
more time with him, more memories with him. Unfortunately, though I don't.
Will Roman be at Survivor series, No, no, he will not.
Did they fix the messed up ceiling? They did? And we had
our first big downpour overnight, a lot of rain in New York and it
held up. So knock on wood, hopefully it stays that way. Steve,
thank you, congratulations, he says on sixteen years. Well, you've
become a very big part of that, so I must thank you as well.
But I appreciate that. Shout out to Steve mellow bass beer is what
are you getting for Black Friday? A toaster? I don't need a toaster,
toaster of it? It burned out. Now I have an air fryer.
My first air fryer six months ago changed my world. Can't believe I
didn't have one of these things. I don't know what I'm probably getting nothing
for Black Friday? Probably nothing. Does my brother watch wrestling? He does
not as much as he used to, but yeah, he still pays attention
to it. He's the boococky sound bite going on the pod. It's not
going on the podcast. But I do have an idea for a superchat,
so watch out for that. That may become the new sixty nine dollars Superchat
very soon. Stay tuned. Does House of Glory travel to different states and
not too familiar with how other companies work. At the moment, home base
is the NYC Arena, which is in Queens, New York. But it's
funny you mentioned that. All I will say to you is stay tuned.
In twenty twenty four would be an interesting year. Wapatapa says. The Royal
solo Monster pants is clean. Your heinous I have no idea what that mean.
Wapatapa, you are confusing me. Yeah, the air friar, the
air fryer is amazing. Heinous Anus says Based Beers. You guys are weird.
Hogs should come to Jersey. Why what's in Jersey? Who from House
of Glory do I think can make a big in WWE or AW? I
think there's a lot of people. We have. Our tag team champions right
now are Jay Lyon and Mite as Black. They're a team called Main Event
m a n E Main Event and they're great. They're fantastic. The people
love them. I think they could absolutely get over on television. I would
keep an eye out for those guys, and they work other independents as well,
not just House of Glory. As much as I hate the guy,
I hate his fucking guts, Charles Mason. Look, you can't deny the
talent there. And I think that it's very very likely that we'll see him
on television somewhere at some point, which would be good because then gets away
from me. I won't have to deal with him anymore. But I have
to give the devil his due. He's very talented. Look, there is
the reason why he's been our Crown Jewel Champion for eighteen months. Nobody's been
able to stop them. We'll see if that changes next Friday, because next
Friday is our final show of the year. No SmackDown that night, although
SmackDown is in Brooklyn, we're competing against SmackDown. SmackDown's in Brooklyn at the
Barclay Center and we're running a show that night. So we've got Swerve Strickland
against Speedball Mike Bailey on that show. It's one of our main events.
That's that's kind of a big deal. And the grizzled young veterans are making
their first stop in House of Glory and Mike Santana's challenging Matt Cardona for our
world title. And it's gonna be a big night. It's gonna be a
very big night. I think Gringo Loco is coming retro Koh with the super
chat coming in, says your new pickup line as the commissioner. Hey ladies,
do you want to come see my Hog? Well, then you're gonna
be awfully upset when there's no stream. When I'm arrested for sexual harassment and
I'm locked up? Can't scream from the pokey now? Can? I don't
get good Wi Fi in there? Bass beers? Will we ever see Slo
Monster in a Texas Deathmatch? In Hog? You will not see me or
have me book one. I'd booked one, but you're not going to see
me in the Texas Death Match? Do you want to see my Hog?
Oh? My god? Yeah, you go walk up to walk up to
the wrong woman who was out with her boyfriend and watch what happens. I'll
get knifed for making a comment like that. Andre. I agree, some
of you people are absolute freaks. They say the freaks come out at night,
though, so there is something to that. And I fit a laptop
in my prison pocket. Now, I don't think so one. You know
what, Neither one of those things are gonna happen. I can't. I
can't say there's a more likely scenario that one over the other happens. We're
not getting either one of those things. If David Benoit was gonna wrestle,
he would have wrestled somewhere by now. The fact that he hasn't wrestled means
he's not that interested. Yeah, yeah, power Spine. I'm glad you
brought that up, because I totally whiffed and forgot to mention it. I'm
gonna be Obviously, Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, which is usually a night off on
the Channel anyway, but obviously it's a holiday, and so that's tomorrow.
On Friday is SmackDown. I will be live after SmackDown, and then I
will be live again on Saturday night because we have Survivor series war games in
the return of Randy Orton and not seem Punk, So that will be on
Saturday nights, and we're doing a Wrestle Rumble contest. Go to wrestle Rumble
dot com. You got to take a look at this Macho Man legacy belt.
This thing is a monstrosity. One person is going to be able to
win that belt, but you got to get in on the contest. So
that's on Saturday, and so we have the podcast on Sunday. That's episode
eight thirty six, and then Raw Monday night, and then Dynamite next Wednesday,
and that takes us into the month of December. So a lot of
streaming, a lot of content coming your way. We're not done yet here.
We're celebrating sixteen years of the sound off all month Loan Paul Carpenter says,
is hog on Fight Happy Turkey Day. We used to be on Fight.
We are now on Premiere Streaming Network. So if you go to Premiere
Streaming Network dot com, you can sign up there and you can get access
to our shows. Bace Beer is match of the Year so far, MJF
against Brian in the Iron Man match. It's on my list. I have
not narrowed my list down yet. I have about thirty plus matches on my
list, and I'm going to try to narrow it down to either ten or
fifteen, which is always the hardest part. The hard part is not coming
up with what matches I think fit the criteria. For Match of the Year.
It's always trying to narrow it down. That's always the toughest part.
But as you know, at the end of every year, I do my
countdown of the best matches, and then the week after that I do predictions
for the following year. So you will have to wait to find out what
my match of the year is. I'm not going to give it away here,
but is that match on the list the bigger broader list? Absolutely,
will velveteen Dream ever get another shot or is he done for good? He's
done? So thank you guys for hanging out with me here on Thanksgiving Eve.
Very cool episode of Dynamite tonight. Good kickoff to the Continental Classic again.
I think Mark Briscoe should have won in that main event. But we
have more matches coming up on Saturday. I will not be watching any of
them because I will be watching Survivor series, so I will have to watch
them later on. But come on back first on Friday, before we even
get to Wargames. We got one episode left of SmackDown, and we'll see
what nick all This has up his sleeve, and we'll find out what nick
All This was chatting with Adam Pierce about the other night on Raw when he
showed up. You missed all the other contents on the channel. The Raw
review from Monday night is up. There are clips up from episode eight thirty
five as well, including one on will Osprey and my take on the criticism
in some circles of aw signing only maybe the best wrestler in the world.
Yeah, let's rip it apart and criticize of all the signings. Let's rip
that apart. There's something not quite kosher with some of the criticism, So
go check that out least some comments. Let me know if you agree,
and we'll come back and do it all over again on Friday. So until
then, if you will stay safe, enjoy all the food gobble gobble,
and we will be live again on Friday night for the post Thanksgiving episode of
Smack. Take care, guys,
