WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.080 AW is coming off Grand Slam Australia. This past weekend. 2 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.480 We had a bunch of big matches on Saturday, no 3 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.919 title changes. We actually two title changes last week on Dynamite, 4 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:13.320 But tonight we had a first time ever made event, 5 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.760 big big main event. Tonight, Kenny Omega one on one 6 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.440 would Swerve Strickland. Nothing on the line, although you have 7 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.719 two men who have staked their claim to wanting to 8 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.839 be the AW World Champion, and this right here is 9 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.800 what is carrying these shows story wise. Right now, it 10 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.359 is the world title scene in AW because all of 11 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.759 these different challengers have been lined up for MJF and 12 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.960 you could see other ones also kind of oft in 13 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.159 the distance, will Ospray and people like the Darby Allen. Eventually, 14 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.119 I'm sure they'll circle back to him. But Kenny and 15 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.960 Swerve have been very very clear in their intentions that 16 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.079 they want to be the champion again. So tonight they 17 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.600 went one on one and what we got here in 18 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.880 this match is actually something that I was not expecting, 19 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.200 but it is something that I am very happy that 20 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.359 we got because Swerve is the best Swerve and that 21 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.400 is what we had at the end of Dynamite tonight. 22 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.959 Whether or not it ends up being a full on 23 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.680 heel turn or not, I guess we'll have to wait 24 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.599 and see, but it sure felt like it because everybody 25 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.719 loves Kenny Omega and those fans were boo in the 26 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.359 hell at a Swerve Strickland when this show was over. 27 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.680 These two guys went out there one week after Tamaso 28 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.480 Champa and Kyle Fletcher had the best television match of 29 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.640 the year, and they said, hold my beer, and they 30 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.879 went out and they topped it, and they had so 31 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.799 far the best television match of the year, an excellent 32 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.920 main event with a major angle to close the show. 33 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:39.680 So not just a great match, right, We've got plenty 34 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.840 of great matches on Dynamite any given week, but we 35 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.799 actually had a major angle here to close out the 36 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.799 show with Swerve Strickland doing whatever it takes to beat 37 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.680 Kenny Omega. We got a decisive winner in this match. 38 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.159 It wasn't sure how they were going to handle this. 39 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.319 We've heard rumors about Kenny Omega potentially not being available 40 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.640 for Revolution this year. He's going to be over in Japan. 41 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:04.640 We don't know if they're going to try to work 42 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.319 it out where maybe he can be back in time 43 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.479 for Revolution. He may not be. In fact, it looks 44 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.439 like he probably won't be based on what they did 45 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.520 tonight because they wrote him off the show. But this 46 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.439 was a match that had world title implications because you 47 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.319 would think whoever came out of this match would very 48 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.000 likely be the number one contender after Hangman gets his 49 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.879 shot at Revolution, although they never actually said that. But 50 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.159 Swerve beats Kenny Omega and then he lays a beating 51 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.719 on this man and actually puts him through the announced 52 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:40.000 desk with a vertebreaker. He killed Kenny at the end 53 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.240 of Dynamite tonight, and so we have He'll Swerve back 54 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.479 and as I look ahead now at where we're going 55 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.280 with this, because we also tonight on the show had 56 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.759 a face off between champion and challenger MJF and Hangman 57 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.400 page face to face in the ring, laying it down 58 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.919 as far as Revolution is concerned, teasing a special stipy 59 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.479 for the match that will likely end up being Texas 60 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:08.400 Death because it's Hangman. But a stipulation was also added 61 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.080 to the match which we have not seen here in 62 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.680 aw in a very long time, and it is a 63 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.400 stipulation that was utilized by one Cody Rhoads many years 64 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.719 ago in the infancy of AAW and it did not 65 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.360 work out very well for Cody Roads, and Cody Roads 66 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.960 was rendered unable to ever challenge for the AW World 67 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.159 title ever again, something that Cody himself, I believe, has 68 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.280 said was a mistake because it boxed them into a 69 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.560 corner with one of their biggest stars right in the 70 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.199 infancy of the company, Like why would you do that? 71 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.439 And of course it's pro wrestling, so you could always 72 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.479 just go back on your word or figure out a 73 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.360 way around it if you really want to. But they 74 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.039 went back to that well tonight with Hangman Page, who said, look, 75 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.120 I'm willing to put it all on the line against you, 76 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.639 so if I can't beat you, then I can never 77 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.719 again challenge for the AW World Championship. He didn't say, 78 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.759 so long as you're the champion, he said, ever again. 79 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.599 And I don't know why they would do this again 80 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.000 to themselves. I don't know why they would box themselves 81 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.280 into a corner. Of course, the biggest difference now is that, 82 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.600 unlike when Cody Rhoads was there in twenty nineteen, they 83 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.000 have a hell of a lot more belts on this roster, 84 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.360 so It's not like Hangman. He's got no shortage of 85 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.199 championships that he could challenge for if he can't go 86 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.399 after the world title. So that was also unexpected, not 87 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.560 something I really am a big fan of. Unlike that 88 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.839 main event tonight, which I was a huge fan of. 89 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.680 We also had a TBS title fatal four way match, 90 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.399 which I enjoyed. I thought it was actually a very 91 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:47.000 fun match. Willow Nightingale still the TBS champion, although you know, 92 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.160 watching the magic did feel to me like they were 93 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.439 potentially setting up Megan Bain for a singles opportunity, which 94 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.839 I'm still holding out hope is the case. But there 95 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.879 were also some faces missing on this show. You know, 96 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.319 we had Lena CROs the Australian independent star making her 97 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.319 debut official debut at Grand Slam this weekend, actually coming 98 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.959 to the aid of Megan Bain and Penelope Ford. She 99 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:14.879 was nowhere to be founding to think she was mentioned, 100 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.319 she was nowhere to be found on the show tonight. 101 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.120 I mentioned Tomaso Champa, right, who was TNT champion last 102 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.800 week at that great match lost not even mentioned on 103 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.399 the show this week, nowhere to be found. So I 104 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.160 don't know if that means he's going to be relegated 105 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.759 to Collision from here on out or not. I was 106 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:35.959 hoping we would see some sort of follow up with 107 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.519 him on the show tonight, and unfortunately we did not 108 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.399 have that. But we also know who John Moxley is 109 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.000 putting his Continental title on the line against that Revolution, 110 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.199 and if you saw Grand Slam this past weekend, it 111 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.120 really shouldn't be all that big of a surprise. It 112 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.439 will beat Kenoski Takeshta, only this time there will be 113 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.279 no time limit for their match. And after mentioning that 114 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.040 they've done little if anything since World's End to really 115 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.720 further the story between Takeshta and Okada, we did have 116 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.439 a little something tonight. Takesha was not on the show tonight. 117 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.439 Okada was very briefly like blinking, you missed it, but 118 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.079 you can kind of see where things are headed. It's 119 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.439 just not going to happen at Revolution with Takeshta and Okada, 120 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.240 and I have a feeling we're gonna have to wait 121 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.439 quite some time to see that rematch between those two. 122 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.160 But I enjoyed the show a lot. I felt like 123 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.639 in the second hour. Second hour was a little bit weak. 124 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.839 I mean Obviously the main event was the best part 125 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.279 of the entire show, but there was some stuff in 126 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.920 the second hour that kind of slowed it down a 127 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.040 little bit. They're trying to feature as many people as 128 00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.120 they can. Again, there's so many people on this roster. 129 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.879 There's no way that you're going to be able to 130 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.439 feature all the people that you would like for them too, 131 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.399 or everybody frankly that they need to and should be featuring, 132 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.959 like Champa coming off that big loss last week. But 133 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.560 we had like the debut of the Brawling Birds tonight, 134 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.680 which is the new team of Jamie Hayter and Alex 135 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.800 Windsor because they're trying to you know, increase the level 136 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.000 of competition in the women's tag team division. Kevin Knight, 137 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.480 all right, look at someone like the Jet Kevin Knight, 138 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.800 young star, super talented, somebody that has been rubbing shoulders 139 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.160 with some of the bigger names in recent weeks. Right, 140 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.680 he wrestled Swerve even for example, not that long ago, 141 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.279 and he had a great showing in the Continental Classic. 142 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.879 You know, the key with really trying to build up 143 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.240 somebody like that is getting him airtime on the main show. Right. 144 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.199 Collision is one thing Dynamite is their a show. Dynamite 145 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.319 is the most viewed show, and so you want to 146 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.560 try to get him as much screen time on that 147 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.199 show as possible. So they threw a match out there 148 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.120 tonight between him and the Beast Mortos. Right, it's one 149 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.639 of those random matches. But you know, you look at 150 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.879 that it's important to get people like him on TV 151 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.680 as much as possible. But it's just it's a struggle 152 00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.920 because again, there's only so much airtime here on this 153 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.839 shown by no means of my sitting here advocating for 154 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.720 you know, Dynamite to go three hours. But you just 155 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.959 have to do a good job of rotating people in 156 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.240 and out and not keeping them off the show for 157 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.560 too long. So, you know, we saw some some different 158 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.600 faces on the show tonight. I thought that the it 159 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.959 was a smaller venue. It kind of reminded me. I 160 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.720 think somebody said this in the chat. It kind of 161 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.120 had a like a Hammerstein vibe to me. I think 162 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.600 they were in Sacramento tonight, so it was a small venue. 163 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.040 But when like John Moxley came into the beginning of 164 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.240 the show and he walks in through the back of 165 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.399 the crowd, it looked pretty packed in there, so I 166 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.440 just thought, as smaller venues go visually on TV, I 167 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.720 thought it looked good. But when the show was over 168 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.080 the main event, the women's four way match, I thought, 169 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.399 you know, the segment with MJF and Hangman, you know, 170 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.039 was solid for what it needed to be. As far 171 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.679 as their main event of Revolution, I enjoyed the show. 172 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.960 It feels like Dynamite over the last few weeks especially, 173 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.440 has gotten into a rhythm here that I felt like 174 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.840 I wasn't feeling before that. But the last few weeks 175 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.720 things have definitely been in improvement and it helps over 176 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.559 the last two weeks to have the two best TV 177 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.039 matches of the year. And we will talk about that 178 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.759 main event. We will talk about everything on this show, 179 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:26.360 because that's what we do. I'm like Triple h That's 180 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.879 what we do. It's what we do. We talk about Dynamite. 181 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.679 This is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, February eighteenth, 182 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.320 twenty twenty six. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you 183 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.399 guys for hanging out with me here on a Wednesday 184 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:47.000 night and like and subscribe. Super chats are open so 185 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.080 if you would like to support the channel, if you 186 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.159 have a question or a comment about tonight's show, send 187 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.360 it on in and I will read them a little 188 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.279 bit later on here in the stream. And for those 189 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.039 of you who may have missed it, yesterday, episode so 190 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:05.919 number two of the Uncrowned Wrestling Show from Yahoo Sports 191 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.759 over on the Ariel Helwani Show channel went up. It 192 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.360 went live yesterday evening, and I appreciate the feedback I've 193 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.679 gotten so far. We actually worked in some listener Q 194 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.519 and A at the end of the episode as well, 195 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.279 which I'll try to do every week if I can. 196 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.919 But go check it out. Covered a lot of ground 197 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.519 on that show, including some topics some TNA in New 198 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.080 Japan that I did not have a chance to talk 199 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.919 about on the sound off on Sunday. So you get 200 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:37.120 a little bit of variety there, and keep supporting, keep supporting, 201 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.960 and keep sending in that feedback. It means a lot. 202 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.080 I appreciate that. Now let's go ahead and spin the wheel. 203 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.120 This has become a customary here so we can find 204 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.159 out how many likes we need here on the stream. 205 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.919 Tonight I saw we had like I don't know what 206 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.000 we had, one twenty or one thirty before I even 207 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.759 went live. I feel like it's going to be a 208 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.919 good night. As far as the wheel, I got a 209 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:09.279 good feeling about it. Find out four thirty two, which 210 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.440 I believe is doable. So four hundred and thirty two likes, 211 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:17.120 that is the goal for tonight. So you see there 212 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.720 in that super Chat Super Super Saiyan John Cena, I 213 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.720 want you all to kind of hulk up like John 214 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.919 Cena there and get me to four hundred and thirty 215 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:29.039 two likes. That's your homework assignment. That dynamite came on 216 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:33.080 the air tonight with ex Caliber, Tony Shavanni and Brian Danielson, 217 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.600 And I wonder if Danielson is working these shows because 218 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:38.440 they're out on the West Coast, because that's where I 219 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.960 believe he dwells, because he has talked about, Yeah, the 220 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.519 travel has really wreaked havoc on his neck. But they're 221 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.919 in California. I think they're in California last week. I 222 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.080 think they're in California for the next few weeks. They're 223 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.679 in California for Revolution. So I wonder if we'll be 224 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:59.159 seeing him more often on TV. And we had comments backstage, 225 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:04.159 rapid fire comments from various competitors here on the show tonight, 226 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:08.360 including Mina Shirakawa. I'll give you one guess what happened 227 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.000 to poor Mina here on this show? What do you 228 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.240 think happened to Mina? What do you think Mina's one 229 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.360 job was? Key were job here on the show? It 230 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.120 was always good to see Mina. She was one of 231 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.279 the four participants in the TBS title fatal four way. 232 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.159 Willow Nightingale talked about not having to be pinned to 233 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.919 lose her championship tonight, but she realizes that comes with 234 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:34.080 the territory. And of course we cut the swerve of 235 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.159 Strickland and Kenny Omega for some comments on their main event. 236 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.600 So after that we went to Renee who was in 237 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.159 the back with Orange Cassidy. This was from earlier today, 238 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.720 and she asked about Roderick Stromp walking out on him 239 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.000 in their tag team match last week. He said, thankfully, 240 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.120 the Conglomeration has a lot of members. Oh yes, but 241 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.600 not as many as the don Kallis family. But the 242 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.360 Conglomeration has a lot of members, and so tonight he's 243 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.919 going to be teamy with this man and in walks Tomohiro, 244 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.080 is she okay? They dust him off every now and 245 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.080 then he pops up on Dynamite, so he was going 246 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.799 to be tagging with him against Gabe Kid and Clark Conners. 247 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:16.039 That's later. First up, though, he had John Moxley against 248 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.679 Mark Davis Continental Title eliminator match. Moxley's been having these 249 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:25.200 weekly on TV. I have to say, I am glad 250 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.639 that they are using Mark Davis on television, even though 251 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:30.279 his tag team partner got hurt and it would be 252 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.840 very easy for them to just kind of relegate him 253 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:37.840 to the back burner right now. I he never wins, Okay, 254 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.039 he never wins, but he's a fun brawler and I've 255 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.159 actually taken to enjoying his matches even though he never wins. 256 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.960 So when I saw that it was Davison and Moxley, 257 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.279 I mean, obviously I already knew how this was going 258 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.679 to go, but I said, okay, this could be This 259 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.960 could be an interesting clash year between these two. So 260 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.879 Moxley escaped to the floor early. David still followed and 261 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:02.799 he lined him up right against the post. He was 262 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:07.759 gonna give him a punch, and Moxley ducked, and Davis 263 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:12.159 full on punches the post and the sound that this 264 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:17.440 made and immediately you know, he grabs his hand. Davis, 265 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.320 he busted his hand open. On that shot, you can 266 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.720 see the blood comingly in between his fingers. So of 267 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.000 course for Boxley it's like, you know, chum in the 268 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.639 water here. Oh fuck, I see blood and it's not mine. Wow, 269 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.279 I got some catching up to do. So of course 270 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.399 he goes right over to the hand and he starts, 271 00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.840 you know, he's separating the fingers and he's biting the 272 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:42.759 bloody fingers because he's a sick fuck. Then he placed 273 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.759 the hand on the steel steps that he stomped on it. 274 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.279 They had a close up at one point of Davis's 275 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:53.399 hand and his finger just looked all gnarly to me. 276 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.960 So it's entirely possible that he really did break his 277 00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:01.240 hand or some fingers on his hand, which is the 278 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.720 last thing that he needs is another injury. He's already 279 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.080 had a couple in the past. So they went to 280 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.519 a break. When they came back, Moxley was sitting in 281 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:14.360 a chair outside in the corner near the barricade. Davis 282 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.399 charged in at him and mostly whiffed on what would 283 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.559 have been a hip attack. So he's going back. Moxley 284 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.000 is after the bloody fingers and the bloody knuckles. They 285 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.159 get back in the ring, he hits them with a superplex. 286 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.240 Davis came back. He attempted to larry it and Moxley 287 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:34.039 ducked it and hit a cutter. Tried for a sleeper 288 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.279 that didn't work out too well. A little bit later on, 289 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.840 Davis sea turned a gut wrench into a pile driver 290 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:43.639 for a near fall. So now they're trading shots. Moxley 291 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.559 was able to take him down. He got the bulldog 292 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.919 choke applied, and not long after that he got the 293 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.240 tap out. Surprise, surprise, John Moxley beats Mark Davis. I 294 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.000 mean you could have predicted that ten times out of 295 00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.679 ten that result will be the same. So we know 296 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.919 that the Callous Family and the death Rids have been 297 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.919 squabbling now for many, many weeks. This was an extension 298 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.960 of that because Mark Davis is a member of the 299 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.120 don Kallis family. But if you saw Grand Slam on Saturday, 300 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:15.679 it was Moxley and Takesha. They went to a twenty 301 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.519 minute draw, so there was no winner in their Continental 302 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.600 title match. And if you joined me in the review, 303 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.120 I said, well, this whole time, I was just assuming 304 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.080 because they've made us wait this long that the match 305 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.759 for Revolution would be Okada and Takeshta. Revolution is typically 306 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.399 one of their top three biggest shows of the year. 307 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.759 A few years ago, it was probably their top show 308 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.759 of the year if you want to count the Sting retirement. 309 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.759 So it's a big show. It's the perfect time to 310 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.919 run this back right a few months after the Continental Classic, 311 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.600 and they've done nothing since the Continental Classic to further 312 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.720 things along with Takeshta and Okada. They've done nothing, which 313 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.919 was very strange. And then I saw what they did 314 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.840 on Saturday and I said, Okay, we're obviously going to 315 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.640 get a rematch, and it feels to me like that 316 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.960 is what the rematch is going to be, which makes 317 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:12.000 me think that he takes the Continental title from Moxley, 318 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.680 which I would like to see. And now he's got 319 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.640 a belt. Ohcott has got a belt. He was making 320 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.279 fun of him tonight. Oh he's not here and I 321 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.880 have a belt and he doesn't. So they're both gonna 322 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.319 have belts and eventually have a unification match. But then 323 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.720 when does that unification match happen? And I could see 324 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:31.680 Tony wanting to hold off on that until they get 325 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.799 to Wembley but that's in August. We are in February. 326 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.599 That's a long gap. I would rather not wait that 327 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.200 long to get this match. But it kind of feels 328 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.000 to me like he may look at that as one 329 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.160 of the marquee matches on that car and it would be. 330 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.519 It would be one of the marquee matches on that show. 331 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.799 But man, is that's a long time to wait. You 332 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.319 could have Takeshta defend against a few different challengers to 333 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.319 kill time between now and then, but that is a 334 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.799 long gap there. We have to wait to get that match. 335 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.920 Later in the show, John Moxley, he was backstage with 336 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.440 the Death Riders and he said that I'm not done 337 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:15.039 with Takeshta. He said, Revolution, Hollywood, no time limits one 338 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.799 way or the other. There must be a winner as 339 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.799 long as it takes. And then it was made official. 340 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.720 We got the graphic and everything. That match will happen. 341 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:28.440 No time limit for the title of Revolution. Now, after this, 342 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.599 we had FTR wheeling Stokely Hathaway still in the wheelchair 343 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.960 out to the ring. An ex Caliber is talking about, Oh, 344 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.680 this is not on the format, this is not on 345 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:43.119 the format. I don't know what's going on here. Dax 346 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:47.319 Harwood was barely able to speak before a chance of 347 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.240 shut the fuck up rained down upon him. They brought 348 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.519 up how the Young Bucks called themselves the best team 349 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.559 in the world ten years ago, but cut to today 350 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:01.000 and they're sitting comfortably in second place. Said that truth 351 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:03.400 be told, it pisses him off that last week on Dynamite, 352 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.680 the Young Bucks shook hands with the Rascals. They shook 353 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.359 hands with Private Party, which is interesting because the Bucks 354 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.400 tried to run Private Party out of the company about 355 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.599 a year and a half ago, but now all of 356 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.839 a sudden, they're good. Said that fakeness is what he 357 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.599 hates about aw that fakeness is what he hates about 358 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:30.400 pro wrestling. It's true, pro wrestling is fake. No lives detected. 359 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.839 So at the top of ftr's hate list is Matt 360 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.200 and Nick Jackson. Right underneath them are their parents, followed 361 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:43.079 by their delinquent kids running around backstage. So as he's speaking, 362 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:48.359 the Bucks slip into the ring behind him, take out FTR. 363 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:51.680 Now they're beating up FTR. I think they superkicked him, 364 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.480 and like the ring is bouncing around. Stoke Lea's in 365 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.480 the chair with his back turned as if he is 366 00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.000 completely oblivious to this, and then he kind of realized 367 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.480 this is something's going on behind me, so he turns 368 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:09.160 around and he starts backtracking, and the crowd, of course 369 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:13.160 wants the superkicks, so he gets knocked out of his 370 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.799 chair with the pair of kicks and the Bucks hold 371 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.480 up the tag belts. They officially issued the challenge to 372 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.480 FTR for a title match of Revolution, which of course 373 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.119 is going to be in LA It's basically in their backyard, 374 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:28.640 and we were told later that Tony kh has made 375 00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:32.119 this official now for the pay per view. I wish 376 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.319 we were n't back to this again. Not that the 377 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.960 Bucks in FTR do not have good wrestling matches. They do. 378 00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.359 We've seen it many times. I mean, look, there was 379 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.160 a point years ago where I said the same thing 380 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.640 about the Ussos and the New Day, and more often 381 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.480 than not the Usos in the New Day they would 382 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.640 go out there and have really good matches. But you 383 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:56.200 just get to a point where it's like, all right, 384 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.519 I'd like to move beyond this. Now. I will tell 385 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:01.920 you that this will be the first time since Dynasty 386 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.319 in twenty twenty four, almost a full two years ago, 387 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:09.480 that these two teams are squaring off two on two. 388 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.160 A couple of other times they've been involved in like 389 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.960 a three way or four way, but this is actually 390 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.599 the first straight tag team match that these two teams 391 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.160 have had in two years. It doesn't feel that long 392 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.000 to me, but it is the first time in two years. 393 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.599 I just I wish that there, you know, was something 394 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.519 else we could go to. There really is no other 395 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:33.880 team though right now that's built up to be in 396 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.680 this spot. And whatever's going on with Cope and Christian, 397 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:39.960 I mean, maybe they'll come back, maybe they won't. I 398 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.920 don't really give a shit at this point, but there's 399 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.519 no one who's really built out for this spot right now. 400 00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:49.880 And also they've been hampered by injuries, right I mean, 401 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:52.920
