1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,519
Speaker 1: AW Redemption was the newest pay per view that AW

2
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:08,439
added to its lineup many months ago. They added it

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,199
to the calendar, the last stop pay per view wise,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,039
the last stop before we get to All in London.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,399
Redemption was a pay per view that had no reason

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,480
to exist the moment that Kenny Omega beat mjf at

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,600
Beach Break to win the AW World Championship. And there

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,920
was nothing on this show tonight that we'll change my

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,600
mind on that. This was the weakest pay per view

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,479
that AW has produced all year, even though we had

11
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,240
plenty of good matches on the show. They've had some

12
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:46,960
great pay per views. This here and this one I

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,759
would have to rank at the bottom of that list.

14
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,000
Certainly one of the weaker shows that they've done. Like

15
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:56,000
I said, not without some good matches. It was a struggle, though,

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,320
I gotta tell you, it was a struggle with some

17
00:00:58,399 --> 00:00:59,840
of the matches on this show. And you could tell

18
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:02,840
struggle even for the people in the building because they

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,640
were very quiet for some of these matches in the

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,239
middle of the show. And this is a show, by

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,120
the way, that started an hour earlier. Tony Kahn said

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,239
he was going to experiment by starting the show an

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,799
hour earlier than usual, and they still went almost five

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,079
full hours, So it didn't really make a difference in

25
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:19,480
the end, I mean, at least this time. It didn't

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,319
end at one o'clock in the morning, I guess. But

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,799
at the end of the day, it didn't really make

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,920
all that much of a difference. Kevin Knight rather and

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,599
Kenny Omega, they were in the main event tonight. We

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
had the TNT champion fighting for the aw World Championship.

31
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:40,480
The outcome was never in doubt. It was never in doubt.

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,599
So what do you expect. Do you expect to go

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,120
into a match like this two great pro wrestlers to

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,040
go out there and have a great pro wrestling match.

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,840
But Kevin Knight was always going to be looking up

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,719
at the lights at the end of it, and that's

37
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:55,319
what happened. Kevin Knight lost. My takeaway from the match

38
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:58,280
tonight is that Kevin Knight is in exactly the same

39
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:01,079
spot he was in before, which is a great wrestler,

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,680
a great young up and comer in this company who's

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,519
had a lot of success this year and is going

42
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:07,159
to have a lot of success in the future. But

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,120
he is not ready to be in that spot. He

44
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,280
is not ready to be in the Kenny Omega spot.

45
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:16,120
He is nowhere near a Kenny Omega. Hopefully one day

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,719
he will get there. This is not that time. When

47
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,479
I watched Kyle Fletcher and Hangman page it all out

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,719
last year. It was a very similar situation and I

49
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:29,080
felt the same way then too. Kyle Fletcher, He'll get there,

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,560
but he's not there yet. Same thing with Kevin Knight tonight.

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,240
Hopefully he'll get there one day. He ain't there yet.

52
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,120
The bigger story came when the main event was over,

53
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:45,159
because they did this big angle with the Death Riders

54
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:48,520
coming out to try to kill Kenny Omega. They were

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,800
going to put him down, and will Osbury came out.

56
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:54,639
He would not allow that to happen. Could not bring

57
00:02:54,719 --> 00:03:01,319
himself to deliver the kill shot, even though John Moxley

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,159
had warned him earlier in the show that you do

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,039
what needs to be done. This is the biggest opportunity

60
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,879
of your career coming up. You need to do what

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,159
you need to do. And the plastic bag came out.

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,919
We've seen the plastic bag use before here from the

63
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,919
Death Riders. Will Osprey could not bring himself to suffocate

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,199
Kenny Omega to death, and so it led to Kenny

65
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,479
Omega in the I mean Kenny Omega's laying there practically

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,319
half dead anyway, but it led to will Osprey turning

67
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,400
against the Death Riders. So for all these weeks that

68
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,919
he's been training with them and he's been aligned with them,

69
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:40,960
and they gave him the patch. Remember they gave him

70
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,319
the patch to make it official, like he joined the club. Well,

71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,840
he's out of the club now. He beat up all

72
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:52,719
the Death Riders. He refused to suffocate Kenny Omega and

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,960
for his troubles. Once Kenny Omega came too and had

74
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,719
a big smile on his face and the two of

75
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:02,520
them were showing mutual respect. Right eh, we all talk

76
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:04,759
about how boyd this is gonna get old real quick

77
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,960
if the next four weeks five weeks is nothing but

78
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,120
a love fest between Kenny Omega and Will Ospray. Who

79
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,399
wants to see that? I don't. And when it was over,

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,439
Kenny Omega decided to do what will Osprey couldn't do.

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,680
He grabbed Ospray when he least expected it, and he

82
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:26,319
put him down with a one winged angel and I

83
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,800
saw some people, Oh my god, Kenny Omega turned heel. No,

84
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:31,959
Kenny Omega did not turn heel. Kenny Omega did what

85
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:34,680
will Osprey was unwilling to do. Kenny Omega saw the

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,839
remnants of the plastic bag laying on the mat and

87
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:41,439
was very upset about this. The fact that will Osprey

88
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,480
would even entertain the idea of choking him out with

89
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:47,839
a plastic bag was enough to piss off Kenny Omegas

90
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:50,000
so much that he decided to drop this man on

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,079
his head, on his surgically repaired neck. And so the

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,800
one really good thing to come out of this is

93
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,600
that now we have five weeks until we get to

94
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:04,959
wimbl STU and no more lovey dovey, no more brother brother,

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,519
I love you, I respect you. Good luck right, all

96
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,800
smiles and rainbows, no more of this right now, these

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,199
two men have reason to have heat with each other,

98
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:21,519
and that should make the television a little more interesting

99
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,240
than the two of them having a mutual admiration society.

100
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:29,720
So I was happy to see that. And obviously John

101
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:31,680
Moxley is going to be waiting in the wings should

102
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,720
will Ospury win that championship, to be probably his first

103
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,600
challenger coming out of Wembley Stadium. So they did shoot

104
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,160
a big angle. They could have done the exact same

105
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:42,360
thing though, on a big episode of Dynamite. So when

106
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:43,879
I tell you that this was a pay per view

107
00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:45,680
that did not need to exist, that's what I mean.

108
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:48,639
Not that there weren't newsworthy things that went down on

109
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,720
this show, but the whole point of this show was redemption,

110
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,639
and as soon as they bumped that match up, the

111
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,079
whole point of the show was lost. They're almost better

112
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,439
of renaming the show next year. They want to have

113
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:05,600
a pay per view between Forbidden Door and All In

114
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,120
call it something else because it didn't really apply here.

115
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:15,600
We had two title changes on this show. Willow Nightingale

116
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:18,959
is the new AW Women's World Champion. I wasn't really

117
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,399
a fan of the way that she won it. I

118
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:24,839
am happy to see her win the championship. We are

119
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:26,879
getting the match at all in that I expected that

120
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,519
we were going to be ginning. I've been telling you

121
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,600
it's going to be Willow and Mercedes Monette. Tekla would

122
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:35,680
have been great, but it didn't seem like that was

123
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,639
what they were really setting up for. Question now, is

124
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:44,360
Willow going to end up being a transitional champion? I

125
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:48,120
actually think she won't. We still have five weeks. Maybe

126
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,839
I'll change my mind, But as I sit here right now,

127
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:53,519
I don't think that people are freaking out. Oh this

128
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,480
is so unfair. She won the title, She's going to

129
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,160
just turn around and lose it and transition it over

130
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:03,040
to Mercedes necessarily. But we are getting that match, and

131
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:06,920
now that match is official for all. In the other

132
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,680
title changes that we had Andrede l Edelo is the

133
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,199
new national champion. He beat Mark Davis. I'm devastated. I'm

134
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,519
not happy about this. Rest in peace to the national

135
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:25,160
title run of Mark Davis and Maya World. The woman

136
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,959
who had no business even being in the finals of

137
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:30,279
the owen Hart Tournament, wasn't even supposed to be in

138
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,839
the tournament went on to almost win the entire thing.

139
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,800
She had her big coming out party in the finals

140
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:39,120
against Mercedes. And now she has her first taste of

141
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,240
gold in AAW and I'm happy that it's in aw

142
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,839
and not on the Ring of Honor brand, but in

143
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,279
AW where people will at least be able to see her.

144
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,959
She beat Shidah. She is the new TBS champion. So

145
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,240
we had some title changes on the show tonight. We

146
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,920
had another big match made official for Wembley, which is

147
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:58,120
Coping Christian. They're going to be defending their tag team

148
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:02,279
titles against the Young Bucks, and we'll go through everything

149
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:06,439
else that happened here on what was again a very

150
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,000
weak show by AW standards compared to all their other

151
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,759
pay per views this year. You get some good wrestling

152
00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:17,800
out of it, but I'm watching this show and I'm

153
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:21,439
just thinking, man, this show really didn't need to take place.

154
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,120
You know, a lot of the things they shot and

155
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,600
a lot of the things they did on this show,

156
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,319
and you got, like the big Grand Slam Mexico show

157
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,959
coming up in a few weeks could have been saved

158
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,600
for television, and then you just kind of build towards

159
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:37,279
towards Wembley. There were matches on this show that as

160
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,399
I'm watching them, I've just I felt like, I mean,

161
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,440
and we're gonna get into what happened with the Dogs

162
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:44,960
and the Bang Bang Gang, which is one of the

163
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:47,440
worst things I've seen on AW pay per view ever.

164
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:51,559
I fucking hated that match. Usually when I watched these

165
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,519
pay per views, there isn't a match where I go, oh,

166
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,960
I hated that that was garbage, But can't say that anymore.

167
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,559
Let's go through this card. It's late. I don't want

168
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,919
to keep you eyes up all night. They can't help themselves.

169
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,759
So let's talk about redemption. This is your AW redemption

170
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,960
pay per view review. It is now officially Monday morning,

171
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,320
July twenty seventh, twenty twenty six. I am the Soloma,

172
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:17,279
So yes, this is the pay per view equivalent of

173
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,519
this could have been an email. Yes, yes, that is

174
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:23,600
a good way of putting it. I can subscribe. Super

175
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,399
chats are open. We got a couple of new ones,

176
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,720
a new fourteen dollars one, a new fifteen dollars one.

177
00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:30,720
All of them are listed down to the description down below.

178
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:33,480
If you're so inclined, I will be reading your messages

179
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,759
a little bit later on here on the stream, so

180
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:37,840
go ahead and get them on in. Let's bust out

181
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,279
the Wheel, a late edition of the Wheel, so we

182
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,720
can get going here and see if we're going to

183
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:47,320
be doing our Be the Booker segment? Can we have

184
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:56,720
a redemption version of Be the Booker tonight? Find out now?

185
00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:59,639
Maybe not? I don't know. Five hundred and thirty likes

186
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,480
is quite the tall task for an AW show. It's

187
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,679
quite the tall task. Hit that like button, hit that

188
00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:09,919
button five hundred and thirty times, and we'll do it

189
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,399
all right, let's talk about this show now. There was

190
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:19,879
a buy in pre show. Good morning, Antran, he says,

191
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:24,960
good morning, there was a buy in pre show. They

192
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,000
were in Montreal for this show, and they were paying

193
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:33,720
homage to the Rougeau wrestling dynasty eighty years of the Rougeous.

194
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,600
So they had Daddy Magic Matt Monard come down to

195
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:42,320
the ring to introduce Jacques and Raymond Rougeau down to

196
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,840
the ring. Tony Shavanni pointed out that ray Rougeau is

197
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:50,639
the mayor of a nearby city. He didn't tell us

198
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,039
which city, but he told us that he is currently

199
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:55,679
a mayor. And you could tell that he's a mayor

200
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,320
because as soon as he got the microphone, you couldn't

201
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,519
shut him up. Spoken in French, he spoke for what

202
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,240
felt like twenty five minutes. He just kept going and

203
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,720
going and going and going and going and going and going.

204
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,120
I'm sure Jacques on the inside was burning up. Ray

205
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,879
was infringing on his time. Yeah, the two brothers, they

206
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:17,679
had a falling out many years ago. I would love

207
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600
to know what the fallout was was about. But they

208
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:24,519
seemed to be on good terms now. So after Ray

209
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,360
was done talking and he thanked Tony Kahan, he thanked

210
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,919
a w Jacques took the mic. He spoke in French

211
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,759
and he turned heel. He turned heel on the fans.

212
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,120
Here he said, you can kiss my ass, and he

213
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,519
thanked the fans around the world, who booed them like

214
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,120
all the haters in the crowd. Tonight, Jacques said that

215
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,159
he had a dream and he asked the fans if

216
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:49,399
they have their phones, so they all held out their

217
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,759
phones and he told the fans to put the flashlights

218
00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:54,600
on on their phones, and then he led the fans

219
00:11:54,639 --> 00:12:00,399
in singing the ololol song. So then Rocky Romero comes

220
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,600
out and he took issue with the fans, celebrating with

221
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:08,279
the rougeaus like there's something special. He got in the ring.

222
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,039
He said, the only family in pro wrestling that matters

223
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,840
is the Don Kallis family. And then he turned to

224
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,080
Jacques and this was the line of the promo. Here

225
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,759
he turned to Jacques and he said, man if I

226
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,159
had a roll of quarters right now, and before he

227
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,200
could finish, Jacques slapped him and then he held him

228
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,320
while Ray kicked him and gave him like a karate

229
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,840
kick in the gut. I love the role of Quarters

230
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,000
reference if you're not familiar with it. It's the old

231
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:42,480
story about the backstage incident in WWF in the late eighties,

232
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:46,039
like eighty eight, probably with the Rougeaus and the British

233
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,559
Bulldogs and in particular Dynamite kid, who was a bully

234
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,840
and just in general not a good person, and Jacques

235
00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:57,399
just got tired of putting up with a shit and

236
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,480
so one day he was kind of hiding out waiting

237
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,240
for him to walk, and he smacked him right in

238
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:03,879
the face with a roller quarters. I can't remember if

239
00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:05,360
it was just the roll of quarters where he put

240
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,080
him in a sock, but he whacked him good in

241
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,039
the face I think knocked out a whole bunch of teeth.

242
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,200
Dynamite didn't bother him again after that. It's a pretty

243
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,759
famous story as far as the Rougeo brothers. Look, when

244
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:20,080
I grew up watching wrestling, the Rougeau's were part of

245
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,480
this great tag team division that they had. You know,

246
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,440
in the company back then you had the Hearts, and

247
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,639
you had Stripe Force and Demolition and Powers of Pain

248
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,279
and the Bulldogs and there were the fabulous Rougeau brothers

249
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:37,240
with great entrance music. So that's my memory of them. Also,

250
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,240
jacquesra Jeau owns a rare clean pinfall wind over Hulk Hogan,

251
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,200
and I'm saying hul Cogan when he was at the

252
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,960
peak of his Hollywood Hogan nWo persona in ninety seven

253
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,879
clean pinfall win. Probably Hogan figure, well, this is not

254
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,919
airing anywhere, it's not airing on TV. Thankfully we have

255
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,080
fancam video out there to prove that it actually happened,

256
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,320
because if it didn't. If it didn't, I don't know

257
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,200
that I would believe this even existed, that it ever happened,

258
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,720
but you can't find it. The only match they had

259
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:16,120
on the pre show was Orange Cassidy Roderick Stran kylo'

260
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:19,279
riilly again to j Lethal, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson

261
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,720
for the aw trios titles. The Lethal Twist Newsflash the

262
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:30,840
Lethal Twist were not successful in winning the trios titles. Yeah,

263
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,559
I have to say it was nice to not have

264
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:36,720
them overstuff the pre show with like three or four matches.

265
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,399
They had a special segment, they had one match and

266
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,480
that was it. That's the way it should be. If

267
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:45,440
you don't have a special segment in the future, do

268
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:48,559
two matches. You don't need to do three or four.

269
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:52,480
Let's get into the main card here. They opened up

270
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:55,639
the main card with the six way ladder match, the

271
00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:59,039
crowning number one contender for the I shouldn't even say

272
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,039
number one contender. You get a guaranteed future match for

273
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,039
the International Championship. We had Speedball, Mike Bailey, Jack Perry,

274
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:14,919
Nick Wayne, Commander, the Beast, Mortos el Clone. Those are

275
00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:21,039
the six men. This was twenty minutes of insane spots

276
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,759
and ridiculously dangerous stunts, and the crowd ate it up.

277
00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:28,519
It was a hot start to the show. Speedball was

278
00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:30,639
the one who made the most sense to win. They

279
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:35,120
were in his home province. Everything this man did, they cheered.

280
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:38,480
If anybody did anything to him, they got booed. Didn't

281
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:40,960
matter who you were, So he was super over in

282
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,120
the building. He talked about later on how he used

283
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:45,600
to come to this building to watch wrestling, you know,

284
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:49,200
when he was a small child. At one point, Bailey

285
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:52,639
landed a moonsaw off a ladder on the stage onto

286
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:56,000
all five men. Commander, I mean Commander was out there

287
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:59,600
doing Commander things. Commander is quite great. He hit a

288
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:04,519
tight rope plancha off the rope right, so he really

289
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:06,519
from one end of the ring, did the tight rope

290
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:09,240
walk to the other side, and then did a dive

291
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,000
off through the table that Nick Wayne was laying on

292
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,240
outside the ring. The balance that it takes to pull

293
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:21,759
off something like that is very impressive, I will say

294
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:25,240
Jack Perry. At another point, he delivered a Canadian Destroyer

295
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:28,879
to Nick Wayne off of a ladder onto a ladder bridge,

296
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,840
so basically they tried to kill Nick Wayne in this match.

297
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,720
Mike Bailey, he delivered an ultimate weapon off the top

298
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,320
rope onto the Beast Mortos, who was laid out across

299
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,320
a ladder bridge. Right there was a ladder that was

300
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:44,519
horizontally placed in the corner he was laying on it.

301
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:50,840
Bailey comes down right, knees first. On impact, it bounces

302
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:54,039
him back up and over the top rope. Thankfully he

303
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,879
caught himself or else he nearly killed himself on this spot.

304
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,960
He actually looked kind of cool, but it could have

305
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,679
ended very badly. So he bounced back over the top

306
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:07,759
rope and landed on the apron. Bailey, They'll got back

307
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:09,960
in the ring and he very quickly scaled the ladder

308
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,960
to pull down the contract to a huge pop from

309
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,039
the live crowd. They were very happy to see him

310
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:21,599
pick up the win here, and with that win, he

311
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,279
earns himself a future shot at the International Championship, which

312
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:28,359
we learned from him in his backstage promo later in

313
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,640
the show. He is going to cash in, I guess

314
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,119
you would say on the Grand Slam Mexico episode of Dynamite,

315
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,160
which is coming up on August fifth, that is when

316
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,240
he will get his championship match against Kyle Fletcher, so

317
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:46,039
who he owns a win over before, so now we

318
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,680
know when that match is going to be taken place.

319
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,720
That's right. That's what I usually say the end of

320
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,480
these aw pay per views when I look at the

321
00:17:55,519 --> 00:18:04,279
time enough, I find myself saying that very often. How

322
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:13,319
about it? There he is, there's Pete. How about it?

323
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,599
Thank you? Brother? Who was that? There was a jersey

324
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,880
authentic in the tuxedo t servo breaking in those new

325
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,000
super chats there. I appreciate you guys. So a hot

326
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,839
start to the show, right, Your mileage is going to

327
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,279
vary when it comes to the uh, you know, the

328
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:36,119
car crash ladder matches. If you like those matches in general,

329
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:39,240
this was a very enjoyable one. If you don't, then

330
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,079
you won't because again it's just a collection of very

331
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,720
dangerous spots where I find myself sitting here hoping that

332
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,000
they don't kill each other. But as these ladder matches go,

333
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:52,359
it was very good. Then we got into John Moxley

334
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:57,079
and Will Osprey against the Young Bucks. No elevated entrance

335
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,359
for Osprey. This is the first time I can remember

336
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,680
him entering with Moxley doing the traditional death rider entrance

337
00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:07,720
to Monchley's music. So there was a collision early on

338
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:10,559
here between Osbury and Nick Jackson where they bunked heads

339
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,599
and it was planned and so Nick was worse for

340
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,680
wear really for the rest of the match. This became

341
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,480
the story of the match where he just wasn't quite right.

342
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:25,440
Later on, Osprey was in with Nick. Nick was on

343
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:29,480
dream Street and the referee was trying to stop Osprey

344
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:32,799
from doing any further damage to him. He shoved the

345
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:34,559
referee out of the way. He was about to kill

346
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,720
this man. Matt Jackson gets into the ring. He covers

347
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:41,160
his brother to shield him and he's telling Osprey enough,

348
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,119
like Cody just did right enough, so Osprey backed off.

349
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,920
He tagged Moxley in, who had no hesitation whatsoever. He

350
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,160
dumped Matt Jackson out to the floor. He gave Nick

351
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,200
a curb stump and he covered him, but he kicked out.

352
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,759
Another theme of this show, the kickout. There were many

353
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:04,440
of them on this show, so we got the bulldog

354
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,880
show complied. Crowd is not happy about this. They're booing Moxley.

355
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,720
Matt Jackson gets back in. He superkicks Moxley to break

356
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,920
the hold, so they ended up out on the floor.

357
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,920
Osprey ducked a Matt Jackson superkick, but in doing so,

358
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,839
Marina Shaffir ate the kick instead, so they get back inside.

359
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:26,920
Moxley hits two Paradigm ships and a death Rider on Nick.

360
00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:30,680
Instead of covering him, Moxley goes outside. He grabs a

361
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:33,559
chair and the referee tried to take it away from him.

362
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:37,440
Moxley basically used it to shove him down and he

363
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:39,640
was going to hit Nick with the chair. Osprey, though,

364
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,039
took it away from him. He said, no, no, this

365
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,640
is not what I signed up for, so Matt superkicks

366
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,640
the chair back into Osprey's face. The Bucks then superkicked

367
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,440
Moxley who flipped him the double bird. He ate a

368
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,400
double superkick. Really, they peppered him with kicks until finally

369
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,160
Matt or Nick rather fell on top of Moxley and

370
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,480
they got the three count. So this was a very

371
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:09,160
different kind of Young Bucks match in some respects. I

372
00:21:09,319 --> 00:21:12,799
liked it. I liked what they did here. Instead of

373
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:15,720
the usual party match, they slowed things down. They were

374
00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:20,160
telling a story with the Nick Jackson injury, as ridiculous

375
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,039
as it was, because the way he was selling it

376
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,480
like he you could tell, like the way he was

377
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:27,799
selling it, if you were the referee in this match,

378
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:30,720
there was no way you would allow this man to continue.

379
00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:34,640
He was selling it like he was concussed or possibly concussed.

380
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,559
He wasn't in his right frame of mind. And the

381
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:40,799
referee allowed the match. I mean the referee allowed him

382
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,319
because a tag match you could always keep him out.

383
00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:46,839
The referee allowed him to continue to wrestle and he

384
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,039
allowed the match to continue. So if you can put

385
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:51,200
that out of your mind. As ridiculous as that was,

386
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,799
I expected the Bucks to win because they're going to

387
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,519
be challenging for the tag team titles in London, which

388
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:02,319
is now official. It wasn't before, But I mean, anybody

389
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:04,559
who's been paying attention could have figured that was gonna

390
00:22:04,559 --> 00:22:06,640
be the match. So to me, it just didn't make

391
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,960
any sense for them to go in here against these

392
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,680
two and lose. Why would you do that? Right, Moxley

393
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,359
and Ospbrey have won all of their matches. They have

394
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,400
been having these enhancement matches, these quick squashes on TV.

395
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,119
What do you think it's been building towards It has

396
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,599
to be building to them losing. There's got to be

397
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,319
a reason for them to be in there winning all

398
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:29,799
these matches, right, Make them lose because that's gonna make

399
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:31,480
things more interesting. I don't want to just see them

400
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:33,119
keep going in there and winning if they're not going

401
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,680
for the tag team titles, and what do I give

402
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,960
a shit? Right? They have to be teaming for a

403
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,680
reason because eventually they're gonna lose and it's gonna cost

404
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,920
some sort of rift. It's gonna cost some sort of

405
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,880
drama between the two of them. Tonight was the night

406
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,559
for that. So they came out on the losing end

407
00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:49,759
of this match. Osprey the story here. He could not

408
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:53,079
bring himself to go for the kill shot on Nick Jackson,

409
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:58,599
Moxley had no such reservations right. He was not worried

410
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,880
about that at all, and in the end it cost

411
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,640
him the match, and it led to a much bigger

412
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,839
angle later in the show. After the main event, which

413
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,160
we'll talk about when we get there. Kyle Fletcher defended

414
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,119
the aw International Championship here against the Ring of Honor

415
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,359
World champion Bendido. Fletcher agreed to have all the members

416
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,480
of the Don Kallis family barred from ringside because he

417
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:25,640
wanted to show that he can do it on his own.

418
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,039
So there was a brainbuster on the apron at one

419
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:34,720
point by Fletcher and Bandido's outside the ring. Is he

420
00:23:34,759 --> 00:23:36,960
going to make it back in in time? He gets

421
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:39,079
up to his feet. I think the referees count was

422
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,279
up to like six or seven, and Bendido he kind

423
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:48,039
of staggers to his feet and he's staring at this

424
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,079
young boy who's in the front row. They're basically like

425
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,240
head to head here, and the boy is giving him

426
00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:00,400
some encouragement. You got this, And Bendido is able to

427
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,119
roll back into the ring before the ten count. Fletcher

428
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,720
grabbed him. He gave him a last ride power bomb

429
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:10,559
only for a near fall, but only for a near fall.

430
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,400
Now that I think about it, that should be the

431
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,079
title of Tony Khan's eventual memoir. But only for a

432
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,599
near fall by Tony Kahan. There was a twenty one

433
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,640
plex attempt. Fletcher was able to shrug that off, another

434
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,880
brainbuster on the apron. There was a lot of dropping

435
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,759
one on their head here in this match, and Bandido

436
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,960
was able to get out of that situation. There was

437
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,240
a sunset bomb attempt to the floor. Kyle was fighting

438
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:44,640
it and fighting it, but in the end he ate

439
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,119
a power bomb on the floor. So Bandido went up

440
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,960
to the top rope. Kyle was down on the floor

441
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,319
outside and he hit this fucker hit a frog splash

442
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,480
from the top rope all the way down to Kyle

443
00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:04,880
Fletcher on the floor outside. And that did not look

444
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,200
like it was a fun move to take. For your

445
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,359
forearms on the landing, I mean, that's a rough landing.

446
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:14,319
I mean I said shit when I saw him do that.

447
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:17,400
And this is the guy who had wrisk surgery before

448
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,680
I go. Please, please don't get hurt, So that was

449
00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:25,039
kind of a crazy spot. Later on in the match,

450
00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:28,119
Bandido hit an avalanche fallaway slam into a moon salt

451
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,240
press for a near fall, follow that up with a

452
00:25:31,559 --> 00:25:37,160
GTS for another near fall. We had already reached a

453
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,119
point by the way in this match where it was

454
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,160
complete overkilled, like we're already past that point. I don't

455
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,200
remember the exact move that it was, but there was

456
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,119
a moment in this match where I was like, Okay,

457
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,599
this match should no longer be going on now. It's

458
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:56,119
just getting very over indulgent. Both men were jockeying for

459
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,000
position on the ropes. There was an avalanche Mitchinoku driver

460
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,839
by Fletcher for any ear fall. Fletcher went for a

461
00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:07,240
buckle brainbuster Bandido's head, though it barely glanced the turnbuckle

462
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:09,720
pad on the way down, but thankfully that was the

463
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,440
finish finally and Fletcher retains the international title. This would

464
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,079
have been a great fifteen minute match. That was my

465
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,240
thought coming out of it. This would have been a

466
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:26,880
great fifteen minute match, but they didn't go fifteen minutes. Instead.

467
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,960
They can't help themselves because every match on this show,

468
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,200
on these shows has to go minimum twenty, it feels like,

469
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,799
no matter how early in the card it may be.

470
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,519
And so these two went out there and they went

471
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:44,039
almost thirty fucking minutes when they had absolutely no reason

472
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,039
to go. Almost thirty minutes they went over, not over,

473
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,480
but almost thirty minutes here in this match, especially when

474
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:54,759
you consider how we arrived here, I might be willing

475
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:58,440
to excuse it if it was you know, say, the

476
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,279
blowoff to a long simmering feud between these two men.

477
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:07,440
You know how this match was set up? It was

478
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,240
set up on television, maybe two weeks ago, maybe because

479
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:16,079
Kyle Fletcher was cutting a promo backstage and Bendido had

480
00:27:16,079 --> 00:27:21,119
the audacity to come wandering by and interrupting his shot.

481
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,400
And so ultimately that is what led to these two

482
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,240
having a championship match here on this show, not exactly

483
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:31,200
a riveting backstory to how or why we got here,

484
00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:34,160
and then they go out there for twenty six minutes.

485
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,440
Why you got ten matches on the show? You have

486
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,960
matches on the show that have more story and backstory

487
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,559
to it than the than this one does with these two.

488
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:47,839
This is what I mean. There are matches on this

489
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,119
show that end up being good when they could be great,

490
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:53,000
or they end up being you know, not great when

491
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,960
they could be great, because they just keep going and

492
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,200
going and going, and you just get to a point

493
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,240
where it's like, why is is this still happening? This

494
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:03,119
should have ended three and a half minutes ago, five

495
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,759
minutes ago. That's how I felt here. They had a

496
00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:08,599
really good match, they had a really strong match. It

497
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,400
could have been even better, but they went too long.

498
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:16,519
And I also hate this. I hate that Bandido because

499
00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:19,880
Bandido is fucking great, and I hate that Bandido is

500
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:22,880
someone who they can just put out there because they

501
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,920
know he's always going to have great matches and they

502
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,920
always get over, but he constantly gets beat. We had

503
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,240
the same situation at Forbidden Door. They put him in

504
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,000
there with Moxley, I believe, right for the continental title

505
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,920
and he lost. They put him out there with the

506
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,000
international champion, and you knew he wasn't winning this match

507
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:43,519
because everything is set up for a three way in

508
00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:48,440
London with Fletcher, Takeshta and Okada at the very least,

509
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,599
to Kasha's coming back from the g one and getting

510
00:28:50,799 --> 00:28:53,359
a rematch for the title, So you knew there was

511
00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:54,680
not going to be a title jed, why are you

512
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,440
sending the Ring of Honor World champion out there to

513
00:28:57,599 --> 00:28:59,759
just keep getting beat like a drum? I don't understand

514
00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:03,960
that Can we not do that? Can we start feeding

515
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,559
him some significant wins? One of the better guys they

516
00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:12,799
have on this roster. I wish they would protect him more.

517
00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:21,400
And then we had the double chain match. We had

518
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,160
Switchblade J White and Juice Robinson representing the Bang Bang

519
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,759
Gang taking on David Finley and Clark Connors representing the

520
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:35,640
Dogs in a match that was set up on Dynamite

521
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,480
this past week. I hated this match. I hated this match.

522
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,519
I didn't care for the feud between them to begin with.

523
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:47,720
Coming into this, I cared even less about the stupid

524
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:52,039
stipulation even when they announced it the other night. Oh,

525
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:55,720
We're gonna have a double chain match. I'm like, why, why?

526
00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:02,960
Who cares? Why do we need this? Okay, fine, maybe

527
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,680
they'll go out there and they'll find a way to

528
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,200
make the stipulation work and make it compelling in some way,

529
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,559
and they'll go out there and they'll they'll change my mind.

530
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,200
They didn't change my mind. They did go out there

531
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,920
and they beat the hell out of each other. They

532
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,400
did do that, But for the majority of it, it

533
00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:21,480
sounded like most of the crowd cared for this match

534
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,480
about as much as I did, which is to say

535
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:29,000
not at all. There was a dominator spot in this

536
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,720
match at one point where David Finley gave Jay White

537
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,200
you know the old Ron Simmons or I guess Bobby

538
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:37,480
Lashley depending on your frame of reference. And where the

539
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:39,640
fuck is he by the way, Holy shit, I just

540
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,680
said his name out loud. I completely forgot to even

541
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,720
work for this company. Where the hell is the Hurt Syndicate?

542
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,960
Holy shit? Talk about out of sight, out of mind. Anyway,

543
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,920
he went to go give Jay White a dominator. He

544
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,759
almost paralyzed him. It was a very scary landing. Hopefully

545
00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:01,960
he's okay. Pretty sure he's okay, but with Jay White,

546
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:04,640
I mean again, this guy's had injury issues before, so

547
00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:07,839
I worry about this sort of thing. Hopefully he's okay.

548
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:11,200
Clark Connors he wrapped the chain. Now they were bound

549
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,119
by the wrist because again it was not a dog

550
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,880
collar match, so they were bound by the wrist and

551
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,599
Clark Connors he wrapped the chain around Juice Robinson's throat

552
00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:25,079
his neck and he started choking. And meanwhile Finley, who

553
00:31:25,119 --> 00:31:28,160
was attached to Jay White by their chain, was trying

554
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,440
to keep him at bay unsuccessfully. So Jay White ends

555
00:31:32,519 --> 00:31:37,400
up taking out Finley with a sleeper suplex so he

556
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,359
could save his partner. So this devolved into two on

557
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:43,640
one beat down here on David Finley, and they are

558
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:49,200
just whipping him repeatedly over and over again with these

559
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:54,519
chains and to make a bad match worse right, you're

560
00:31:54,559 --> 00:31:57,160
watching this year, like, how could they make this match

561
00:31:57,319 --> 00:32:02,119
actively worse? Hm? Why don't we send out Wheeler Dah

562
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:07,000
and Daniel Garcia to interfere in it? That'll do it.

563
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:12,599
So the Death Riders see crew, they show up to

564
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:15,720
get involved here in this match. They pull Switchblade out

565
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,720
of the ring, then Dah drops him with a terrible

566
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:24,319
looking Bussiku nie that barely grazed him. Here comes Austin

567
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,759
Gunn and Colton Gunn to even the score of Marina Shaffir.

568
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,680
She passes Finley the Schillale and he blasts Juice with

569
00:32:31,759 --> 00:32:33,839
it and he gets the three count to finally put

570
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:37,200
an end to this. I was just bored more than

571
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:43,599
anything else. I felt nothing watching this match and another

572
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,839
match here on this show that has to go twenty minutes. Now.

573
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,920
I could excuse it if the match was exciting, but

574
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:54,279
there was nothing exciting about the match. And so when

575
00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:57,519
it's not. It just feels like an eternity. That's what

576
00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:01,039
this match felt like. It sucks because this is the

577
00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:03,079
second time now in the span of about a week

578
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,240
that Jay White had a match that I think they

579
00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:09,559
really crap the bed with that match he had with

580
00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:12,400
Clark Connors last week on the Dynamite. I didn't think

581
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,559
was a great match. I was bored by that match,

582
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,400
and so now he's out there, He's in this tag

583
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,920
team match. They got the chains and everything, and I

584
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:22,480
again I'm not a fan of this match. I'm actually

585
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:28,039
debating about which j White AW match is worse, because honestly,

586
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:29,640
these are two of the worst matches I think that

587
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,559
I've ever seen in AW this one and the singles

588
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:35,559
match he had on Dynamite that one time many years

589
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:38,119
ago with Billy Gunn. I'm pretty sure the Billy gun

590
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:42,440
match still clears the bar on this. But unfortunately both

591
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,160
matches Jay White was involved. This absolutely did not need

592
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,680
to take place here on this show. When eighteen minutes right,

593
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,079
because if this was on television, if this was on Collision,

594
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:55,359
if this was on Dynamite, they're not getting eighteen minutes.

595
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,119
It would get a little less time. They would have

596
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:00,000
been able to tighten it up a little bit, maybe

597
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:01,880
it would have been a little more palatable. I probably

598
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,680
still wouldn't have had much interest in it, but it

599
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,319
would have been better off actually in this This is

600
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:09,159
one of those rare cases where this would have been

601
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,119
better off on television. They would have benefited from having

602
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:14,960
a little less time on the television show instead of

603
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,719
being able to go out there and have eighteen minutes

604
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,000
to bore people to death. So yes, I did not

605
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,280
like this match. The Dogs had to win though, because

606
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,360
if they're setting up a singles match, which I assume

607
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,280
they are at some point between Jay White and David Finley,

608
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,440
which hopefully Switchblade will win, the dogs had to get

609
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,960
a win here. They had to throw them a bone,

610
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,400
and so they did. So. I mean that at least

611
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,920
was good that they gave the Dogs the win, because

612
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:41,639
you got to give them something. But yeah, this is

613
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:44,079
the worst thing on the entire show. I hated this match.

614
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:50,239
Renee Piquette was backstage with Will Osprey who brought up

615
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,119
Nick Jackson's head injury. Osprey said that Nick clearly had

616
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:57,639
head trauma and he didn't want to take advantage of that. Then,

617
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,719
mister Renee Piquette walks in and Osprey said, look, I'm

618
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,519
not trying to kill anyone. Bruv. Moxley said that Nick

619
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:10,519
has a history of head trauma. I'm so sorry, Nick.

620
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,760
Welcome to pro wrestling. It's a tough way to make

621
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,360
a living. Moxley said that Osprey has a once in

622
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,280
a lifetime opportunity at Wembley Stadium. He told Osprey, you

623
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,400
can't be everyone's friend or turn your back on anybody.

624
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,480
Moxley said that he doesn't want Osprey to learn this

625
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:28,760
lesson the hard way. He said, if Osbury won't pull

626
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:38,320
the trigger, he will, and he walked off. Hikarushda and

627
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Maya World for the TBS Championship. Today, by the way,

628
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:44,960
was Maya World's birthday. Had I known that coming into

629
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,239
this show, I would have changed my prediction for this match.

630
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,000
I did not realize that today was her birthday. Maya

631
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:56,960
had control under over Shida when Sida suddenly went after

632
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,480
Maya's knee and we even got a stretch my on

633
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:02,800
the top rope by Sheida. You don't see that very often.

634
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:06,239
Chidah was taking every short cut that she possibly could.

635
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,480
She was biting her, she was raking the eyes. Chidah

636
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:11,760
was looking for a falcon arrow. Maya counter with a

637
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,719
cradle for a two count, but the knee was still

638
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,159
bothering her. She'da got a single leg crab applied, and

639
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,920
I thought I took it as a good sign that

640
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,880
the crab was actually rallying behind Maya. Here, Maya hit

641
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,519
Shechidah with a shining wizard. She'da rolled out of the

642
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:30,440
ring to avoid being pinned, and she'da grabbed her kendo stick,

643
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,079
but Maya stopped her from using it. Maya got Chida

644
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:35,920
back inside the ring. She went for a moon salt.

645
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,519
She'da though got her knees up, and then she followed

646
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:41,840
with a katana covered for a near fall. Fans did

647
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,599
not react to that at all. She'da hit a tombstone,

648
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,719
only got a near fall. Then she got her tbs

649
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,679
lock applied, and when it looked like Maya was going

650
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,760
to tap out, she'da got cocky and she hooked her

651
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,840
arm so that she couldn't tap out, just so she

652
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,760
could dish out some more punishment. She'da hit repeated running

653
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,079
knee strikes, one after the other after the other. Maya

654
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,400
was basically dead and the referee could have stopped it

655
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,480
if they wanted to, she'd have hit a falcon arrow

656
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,400
had the pin. Maya, though, grabbed the bottom rope. So

657
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,639
many near falls in this match. Chidah was bickering with

658
00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:21,800
the referee and then she charged at Maya, who picked

659
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,039
her up for a fallaway slam into a bridge and

660
00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:30,880
into the pin to get the upset win and claim

661
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000
her first championship. Here in aew, we have a brand

662
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:40,719
new TBS champion. It wasn't always pretty. There were definitely

663
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,239
some sloppy moments in there. But I enjoyed it more

664
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,440
than I did the last match, I'll tell you that much.

665
00:37:46,159 --> 00:37:49,519
I thought this was solid stuff. The finish surprised me

666
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,639
just because she'da won that Survival of the Fittest match

667
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:55,800
only a few weeks ago. You know, she's only been

668
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,239
championed for I mean less than a month, twenty five days,

669
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,400
twenty six days, something like that. By the way, Sheida

670
00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:06,880
now owns the record for the shortest reigns as AW

671
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,480
Women's World Champion and AW TBS Champion. Now she had

672
00:38:11,519 --> 00:38:15,000
like over a year as the world champion, but one

673
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,360
of her use she's been a three time world champion.

674
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,000
I don't remember if it was her last run or

675
00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:22,480
her second run. I believe it's still the shortest run

676
00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:24,559
that anyone has ever had with that title. It's like

677
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:28,239
twenty five days. And so now she owns the shortest

678
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,840
TBS title run. Not the best record to have, I suppose,

679
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,360
but she owns the record now. I was not, honestly,

680
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,719
and you guys remember me mentioning this when she'da won

681
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,320
the belt a few weeks ago. I was not a

682
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,440
big fan of Sheida being the one that they chose

683
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,000
to go with to win the TBS Belt in the

684
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,320
first place. I would have much preferred Persephone or Queen Amanada.

685
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,639
So I wasn't really a fan of the decision to

686
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:57,840
go with Chidah. Anyway, her losing the TBS championship here

687
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,000
and giving it to my world, I'm okay with that.

688
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,000
I have no issue with that whatsoever. It's a good

689
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,960
way to capitalize off whatever momentum Iyas still had coming

690
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,639
out of the ozho and final against Mercedes Monette. And look,

691
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:14,000
it's a great story, you know, the success that she's

692
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,360
been able to have. It's someone new having the championship now,

693
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,760
someone who has not been a champion before here in

694
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,840
this company and more importantly, it keeps her on AW

695
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,440
television as opposed to because they had teased the possibility

696
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,199
of her maybe feuding with Athena in Ring of Honor,

697
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,400
and I suppose they could still do that at some point,

698
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,239
but I would much rather see her on Dynamite or

699
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,760
on Collision right. And now she's got the TBS Championship,

700
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,519
so she will be on TNT and TBS and not

701
00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:48,519
relegated to the Ring of Honor. Brent, I consider that

702
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:52,960
to be a good thing, so good for her. We

703
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,559
had Adam Copeland and Christian Cage against Claudio Castignolium Pack

704
00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:59,960
of the Death Riders for the AW Tag Team Championships.

705
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,320
The majority of this match were the heels taking turns

706
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,079
beating up the babyfaces, with Cope and Christian selling. Copeland

707
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:14,239
selling is basically most of his matches these days. Not

708
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,159
the same. Copeland put Pack down with it in paler DDT,

709
00:40:18,679 --> 00:40:22,000
another one to Claudio onto Pack. There was also a

710
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:25,760
spot where Claudio lifted Copeland into a neutralizer position while

711
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,719
Pack went up to the top rope. He came off

712
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,480
for a spike neutralizer. Christian raced over to break up

713
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,400
the pin attempt. Christian then speared. Claudio Pack charged at Christian,

714
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,280
who popped him up into the air into a spear

715
00:40:40,039 --> 00:40:45,400
from Copeland, and Copeland got the pin to retain the titles. Again.

716
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,000
It was mostly a handicap match for a good eighty

717
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:50,000
to ninety percent of the match where they were ganging

718
00:40:50,119 --> 00:40:53,199
up on the baby Faces until the Babyfaces made a

719
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,960
comeback and they retained the titles in the end. But

720
00:40:57,039 --> 00:40:59,280
it was a good match. There was no reason to

721
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,159
believe the Belts or in any real jeopardy at any

722
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:06,039
point during this match. Copeland and Cage, they were celebrating

723
00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:09,519
their win. The Young Bucks came out and they got

724
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:12,039
into the ring and they were pointing at the Tag

725
00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:16,960
Belts and Copeland was shaking hands with them. Christian refused

726
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,559
because Christian doesn't do that sort of thing, and they

727
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:22,960
put the graphic up so it is now official. It

728
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,599
is now official for Wembley Stadium for the first time ever,

729
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,880
Adam Copeland and Christian Cage will wrestle the Young Bucks

730
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,000
and the aw Tag Team titles will be on the line.

731
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,719
They could end up adding more teams. It's entirely possible.

732
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:41,159
FTR may come back and may get worked into the match.

733
00:41:41,559 --> 00:41:44,840
There could be new teams debuting imminently in aw and

734
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,679
maybe they get added to the match, but as of

735
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,119
this moment, it will be two on two for the

736
00:41:49,159 --> 00:41:52,079
tag team titles at Wembley Stadium. And I think we

737
00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:55,800
all knew this. This was the big first time ever

738
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,880
Dream Attraction right edgend Christian against the Young Bucks, right

739
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:05,519
a generational battle. I can picture it now with Copeland

740
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:09,119
selling for eighty eight percent of the match. But it

741
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,599
seemed very clear that this was the direction we were

742
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:14,840
going in. And now it is official, as there will

743
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,960
be many matches that are going to be made official now,

744
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,960
so we'll see what impact that has on ticket sales.

745
00:42:19,159 --> 00:42:25,679
I believe the current update has the UH attendance count

746
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,760
I believe at like thirty three thousand. I'm still sticking

747
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,599
in my count of a little over forty for that show,

748
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,760
somewhere between like forty and forty two, maybe somewhere in

749
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:43,599
that range. We had The Painmaker Chris Jericho against Tamaso Champa,

750
00:42:44,119 --> 00:42:51,199
No holds barred. Jericho entered to Painkiller by Judas Priest,

751
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,119
so he got Tony Kah to break out the checkbook

752
00:42:54,159 --> 00:42:57,559
for this one. He was wearing a wacky mask. He

753
00:42:57,679 --> 00:43:01,719
came out, he had a spiked jacket, barbed wire baseball bat,

754
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,159
and what followed had to be I mean, maybe outside

755
00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:10,079
of one of the blood and guts matches that he

756
00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:12,400
would have been a part of, but I was kind

757
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,639
of going over it in my memory bank. This had

758
00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:19,559
to be the most violent, like hardcore match that Jericho

759
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:22,679
has ever been a part of. Has there been one

760
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,199
that was more violent than what they did here in

761
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,519
this match? Jericho hasn't been a part of very many

762
00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:34,440
death matches like this, so unless I'm forgetting one, got

763
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,280
me think about what we had here, Between the blood

764
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,960
and the barbed wire and the thumbtacks and the fucking

765
00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:45,400
power drills and the glass mirrors and the table spots,

766
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,199
some pretty brutal table spots, this had to be the

767
00:43:49,199 --> 00:43:54,599
most violent match of Jericho's career. Champa he hit a

768
00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:57,119
fairy tale ending at one point, and this was early

769
00:43:57,159 --> 00:44:00,119
in the match. Off the apron put Jericho through a

770
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:04,559
table face first. Champa starts throwing weapons into the wing

771
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,360
and a hockey stick, which got a huge pop, obviously

772
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,280
in front of this Montreal crowd. Champa then put on

773
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,079
a Boston Bruins jersey, which got a lot of heat

774
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:23,239
and he started beating up the stuffed animal version of Upie,

775
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:29,599
the mascot for the Montreal Canadiens. Yes, he was beating

776
00:44:29,679 --> 00:44:33,480
up the mascot in a stuffed animal form. Big heat

777
00:44:33,559 --> 00:44:36,119
for that. Then he emptied out a bag of thumbtack

778
00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:40,239
covered hockey pucks. Jericho pulled the jersey over Champa's head.

779
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,440
We got a hockey fight. He sup plexed him onto

780
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:48,440
the pucks, and then Jericho used sandpaper to rake the forehead.

781
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,519
Now I think Champa was already busted open, but now

782
00:44:51,559 --> 00:44:57,039
he's just bleeding all over the place as he's sampapering

783
00:44:57,039 --> 00:45:00,480
this man's forehead. Jericho put the Bruins jersey into a

784
00:45:00,519 --> 00:45:02,760
trash can. The crowd wanted him to set it on fire,

785
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,280
but he pulled the barbed wire table out instead. Champa

786
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,800
threw one of the tack covered pucks at Jericho, and

787
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:14,440
you could see after there was a tax sticking out

788
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,559
of Jericho's out of his forehead or his eyebrow. Champa

789
00:45:18,599 --> 00:45:21,960
grabbed a sack of his own that had an elbow

790
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,480
pad in it that was covered in thumbtacks. Jericho, though,

791
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:27,800
sank in the walls of Jericho before he could use it,

792
00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:31,400
and he forced Champa to crawl through the tax and

793
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,199
the barbed wire to get to the barb wire bat

794
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,639
and he starts smacking Jericho in the back with it.

795
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,199
They fought to the apron. Jericho hit a depth valley

796
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:45,079
driver off the apron through the barb wire table back inside.

797
00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:48,280
Champa kicked out, which I mean was just fucking ridiculous.

798
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:52,280
But this whole match was ridiculous. I think Jericho may

799
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,400
have stabbed him in the leg with a pencil at

800
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,880
one point. That's, you know, look, that shit doesn't go away.

801
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,800
I got stabbed right in the middle of my hand

802
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,800
by a kid when I was in elementary school many

803
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,400
years ago, and I could still literally still see the

804
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:09,840
lead in my hand. That shit don't go away. It

805
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,880
stays with you forever. I'm pretty sure he stabbed him

806
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,159
in the leg with a pencil. Then he brought in

807
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:19,119
a giant mirror into the ring, and he made a

808
00:46:19,159 --> 00:46:22,159
bridge with two chairs. He put the mirror between them.

809
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,360
Champa caught him though with a low blow and then

810
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,519
followed with an air raid crash onto the mirror. Jericho,

811
00:46:28,599 --> 00:46:32,880
of course kicked out. So while the doctor is over

812
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,880
checking on Jericho. Champa pulled out the power drill. I

813
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,440
told you, I told you we're gonna get it. You

814
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,000
see it in the artwork I put together because I

815
00:46:41,079 --> 00:46:44,880
knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. I said,

816
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,400
I gotta get a picture of Champa with that fucking

817
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,880
power drill, and I'm gonna put it in the layout.

818
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,960
And sure enough, out comes the power drill and the

819
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,800
crowd starts chanting, this is murder. I thought maybe there

820
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,719
was a Jimmy Snooker appearance. I thought maybe he rose

821
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,519
from the dead. So Champa went to go use it. Jericho,

822
00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:09,920
though spat green missed at his face. Either that or

823
00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:13,519
you know, he's been hit by this cyclosporiasis outbreak that's

824
00:47:13,559 --> 00:47:16,320
been going on. But he spat some green shit in

825
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,280
Champa's face and blinded him, and then he hit the

826
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:26,119
Judas effect and say it with me now, Shampa kicked out.

827
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:31,119
I know I was as stunned as you are. So

828
00:47:31,199 --> 00:47:35,000
Jericho brought out another mirror, this one wrapped in barbed wire,

829
00:47:35,039 --> 00:47:38,159
and he smashed it across Champa's back. Jericho then put

830
00:47:38,199 --> 00:47:41,360
the thumbtack covered elbowpad on and he hit the Judas

831
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:50,559
effect and again again. Champa kicked out Jericho then grabbed

832
00:47:50,559 --> 00:47:53,639
the power drill and he used it on Champa's forehead.

833
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,000
Aubrey Edwards calls for the stoppage. I guess I couldn't.

834
00:47:58,119 --> 00:48:02,039
I couldn't tell if Champa hadly submitted or if she

835
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,599
just made an executive decision here and decided enough is enough.

836
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:11,400
But she calls the match off and mercifully this match

837
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:15,599
comes to an end as a wrestling match. Their Beach

838
00:48:15,639 --> 00:48:17,840
Break match I thought was much better than this. I

839
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,960
enjoyed that Beach Break match better than this as a

840
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,519
garbage plunder match. I don't know what else they could

841
00:48:25,559 --> 00:48:27,760
have done that they didn't do here, outside of blowing

842
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,199
themselves up with Piro, you know, like MJF and Hangman

843
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:35,280
did in their Texas Death match earlier this year. I

844
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,079
appreciate them killing themselves to try to live up to

845
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:44,079
the stipulation, but this just wasn't for me. It wasn't

846
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:46,320
for me. I don't need to see these two guys

847
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,800
out there doing this type of horse shit. I really don't.

848
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,559
But I get the sense that Champ is out there

849
00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:53,760
having the time of his life because now he's got

850
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,800
the freedom that he didn't have before. He's got the

851
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,239
creative freedom to go out there and get booked in

852
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,440
these types of to begin with, and get featured on

853
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,360
the television show and actually get a pay per view match,

854
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,480
which were very hard to come by for him in

855
00:49:08,519 --> 00:49:11,880
the other place, let alone a singles match on pay

856
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:16,119
per view. I can't recall there being a single singles

857
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,719
a single singles a single singles match on a pl

858
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,760
that he ever had in WWE that wasn't part of

859
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,360
NXT Black and Gold, right, or maybe NXT two point

860
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,159
zero when they blew up Black and Gold. All that

861
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,440
to say, I think he's probably enjoying himself a lot.

862
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,920
He probably enjoyed himself in this match taking the abuse

863
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,880
more than I did watching it again, some people, your

864
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,159
mileage is going to vary on whether or not this

865
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:46,079
match was for you or not. We go backstage. Oh

866
00:49:46,119 --> 00:49:50,000
my god, this I forgot about this. Yeah, oh boy.

867
00:49:50,599 --> 00:49:58,000
We go backstage to Mick Foley and he's standing by

868
00:49:58,039 --> 00:50:08,599
with the women's tag team champions Divine Dominion Megan Bant. Yes, yes, Eric,

869
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,960
I was saying that during the Champa and Jericho match,

870
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,440
not even on like the power Drill and all that

871
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:22,480
but on the kickouts, I was screaming that enough enough.

872
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,679
When we go backstage, Nick Foley is with Megan Bain

873
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,639
and Leana Cross, who offer him a seat. They tell

874
00:50:33,679 --> 00:50:35,280
him to sit down. They pull up a chair, They

875
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,400
tell him to sit down, and they ask him have

876
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,119
you ever seen two women more dominant than them? And

877
00:50:43,199 --> 00:50:45,880
Folly thinks about it and he says, well, maybe the

878
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:52,119
crush gals, but no none recently. So Bain asked him,

879
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,400
have you ever seen two women who were more violent

880
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,079
than us? Folly said I had not. Bain said that

881
00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:02,760
they're undefeated and they just are wondering why there weren't

882
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,119
two women around to face the two of them, and

883
00:51:05,159 --> 00:51:09,519
Fully said, well, actually there are two women that would

884
00:51:09,519 --> 00:51:13,400
be the brawling Birds. So Lena asked if Fully really

885
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,960
thought the birds stood a chance against them. Fully said,

886
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,880
well maybe, and Baine then told Foley to bow down,

887
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:29,679
and McK foley, former WWE Champion, WWE Hall of Famer,

888
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:37,280
the Beloved Mick Foley proceeds to start barking like a

889
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:44,360
dog literally and going woolf wolf bow Wow over and

890
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:54,000
over again, rough bow Wow. The only thing missing here

891
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:58,760
was a neck collar and a ball gag. And I

892
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,519
don't need to see what Mick behind closed doors. I

893
00:52:01,559 --> 00:52:04,480
don't give a shit. I don't care what his kinks

894
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:07,840
may be. I don't know if this this felt like

895
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,800
some humiliation ritual to me. I know the sickos will laugh. Ago,

896
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:16,760
come on, it's comedy. It's comedy. Sure, this was embarrassing,

897
00:52:17,159 --> 00:52:22,840
is what this was. I don't know what the fuck

898
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,679
this was supposed to be. I don't even have the

899
00:52:25,679 --> 00:52:28,760
words for this. This was sad. This was sad to watch.

900
00:52:31,519 --> 00:52:36,840
We had Mark Davis against Androde l Edelo for the

901
00:52:37,159 --> 00:52:40,440
aw National Championship. Can you imagine that though Mick Foley

902
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,800
on his hands and knees on all fours on a

903
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:48,880
dog leash with like a ballgag in his mouth as

904
00:52:49,079 --> 00:52:52,760
Lean Across and Meghan Bain lead him around, if they

905
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,400
asked him to do it, I think he would do it.

906
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:03,360
I really do. He would take one for the team.

907
00:53:03,559 --> 00:53:06,280
Androde nearly scored the instant win in the first ten

908
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,079
seconds of this match. He caught Davis off guard with

909
00:53:09,119 --> 00:53:12,360
the spinning back elbow. Davis, though kicked out. Thankfully they

910
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,960
didn't job my guy Davis out here. I mean, I

911
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,000
know some of these a lot of these matches on

912
00:53:18,039 --> 00:53:20,400
this show didn't need to be as long as they were.

913
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,239
But come on, man, you know you know I get

914
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:30,440
to beat my guy here in ten seconds. Hat of discipline.

915
00:53:30,639 --> 00:53:33,320
You make a very good you make a very good point.

916
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,599
Why would I want to imagine that? You well, my

917
00:53:35,679 --> 00:53:38,360
point is you don't. You don't want to imagine it.

918
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,400
But after what we saw tonight, I could actually see

919
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:46,440
something like that happening. I wouldn't be shocked if this

920
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:51,400
was mixed creative contribution to the show. And Tony Kahn's

921
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,159
got his cup of java in his hand that he

922
00:53:54,159 --> 00:53:56,639
he I think it's glued to his hand every time

923
00:53:56,639 --> 00:53:58,320
I see him. He's got that fucking cup in his hand.

924
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,400
Oh that sounds a great idea. Make sure for it.

925
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:07,039
Go for it. Bow wow. David set up for a

926
00:54:07,079 --> 00:54:10,280
power bomb of the apron. Androde countered with a hurk

927
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,679
and rona that sent Davis hurling forward into the turnbuckles,

928
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,480
Androtte then raced up top. He hit Davis with the

929
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:22,199
moon salt over the ring post to the floor back inside,

930
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:27,000
Androte took his pants off. This got me, you know,

931
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,159
me saying that coming off the mc foley stuff, I'm like,

932
00:54:30,159 --> 00:54:32,159
what the fuck did I watch? What did I spend

933
00:54:32,199 --> 00:54:41,639
money on tonight? What is going on here? So Androte

934
00:54:41,639 --> 00:54:45,440
takes his pants off and he reveals trunks with how

935
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,800
you know, on the back of them. He tried for

936
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,800
a frog splash, Davis got the knees up. Davis set

937
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,360
up for a pile of driver, Androte used a hurk

938
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,320
and rona to hook him into a pin for a

939
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,800
near fall, and then Androte hit the spin back elbow

940
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:05,000
and he followed with the DM to win the championship.

941
00:55:05,039 --> 00:55:08,519
I knew it. I knew it was coming. I knew

942
00:55:08,559 --> 00:55:10,800
this was the end of the line from Mark Davis

943
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,519
as the national champion. After the win, they shot off

944
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:20,119
Pyro on stage. I thought the match was good. Androde

945
00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:23,800
finally strikes gold for the first time in aw for

946
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,800
Mark Davis, this is the end of his run as champion.

947
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,000
I hope it's not the end of him being used

948
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,960
in a singles capacity. I could see them just putting

949
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,199
him in Jake Doyle back together, because that was the

950
00:55:34,199 --> 00:55:37,840
original idea Davis and Doyle, you know, in the in

951
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,920
the tag team ranks. And I mean, look, I'm not

952
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,599
opposed to it. I just hope this doesn't you know,

953
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,039
mark the end of him being featured in singles matches

954
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:52,760
at all on these shows, because I enjoy his work

955
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,800
and I don't expect him to win this belt back.

956
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,079
He may not win another belt period, unless it's a

957
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:02,199
tag team belt, that's point. But I enjoyed this little

958
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,440
run that he had, and a lot of the matches

959
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,639
that he had on TV, especially that will Osprey match

960
00:56:06,639 --> 00:56:08,960
he had when they were in the Owen together. As

961
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,039
overbooked as that was, that's some of the most fun

962
00:56:11,039 --> 00:56:13,599
I've had watching Dynamite all year, and he was a

963
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:19,840
part of that. We had Tecla against Willow Nightingale for

964
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:25,320
the aw Women's World Championship. They showed Mercedes Monette up

965
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,039
in one of the luxury boxes in the crowd. She

966
00:56:28,119 --> 00:56:31,519
had her Owenhart Foundation belt over her shoulder. It was

967
00:56:31,559 --> 00:56:34,480
an early pounce that launched Tekla out of the ring.

968
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,800
She came back though with a curb stump to give

969
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,079
her a chance to regroup and collect herself, and then

970
00:56:40,119 --> 00:56:42,800
she started ripping at Willow's stitched up ear and it

971
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,079
started bleeding. Late in the match, Willow landed a death

972
00:56:46,159 --> 00:56:48,440
valley driver for a two count, but then pulled down

973
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,000
the straps. She was setting up for the doctor bomb. Techla,

974
00:56:52,039 --> 00:56:54,800
though was able to avoid it, and the champion rolled

975
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,559
Willow into a pen and grabbed the bottom rope for leverage.

976
00:56:57,559 --> 00:57:01,440
The referee They'll caught her. Came back with a spinebuster

977
00:57:01,519 --> 00:57:04,079
and then went for a top upe Moonsalt, but she missed.

978
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,559
Tecla went for a spear. Willow counter with the doctor

979
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:10,079
bomb and she covered her and had the match one

980
00:57:10,159 --> 00:57:14,000
when Sky bleww reached in and pulled her out of

981
00:57:14,039 --> 00:57:17,039
the ring. Actually no, she placed Tecla's leg on the

982
00:57:17,039 --> 00:57:20,280
bottom rope thinking of a different spot in a different match,

983
00:57:21,079 --> 00:57:23,239
but she broke up the pin attempt. Is the point,

984
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,199
no Julia Hard here because Julia Hart is she may

985
00:57:27,199 --> 00:57:28,840
be over there now. I know she's on her way

986
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,880
to Japan. If she isn't already there, she's taking part

987
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,320
in the Grand Prix. So that's why we didn't get

988
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,320
any Julia Hard on this show. Willow went to the floor.

989
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,400
She gave Sky a doctor bomb, then rolled back inside

990
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,119
and immediately ate a spear from Tecla, and Tecla went

991
00:57:45,159 --> 00:57:47,800
for a stomp. Willow moved and she won the title

992
00:57:48,239 --> 00:57:59,559
with a fucking backslide. After the match, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong,

993
00:57:59,639 --> 00:58:03,239
Kylo Riley, they all came out to conglomerate with her

994
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,000
and to celebrate with her because she is affiliated with

995
00:58:06,039 --> 00:58:10,280
the conglomeration. Mercedes Monette was again shown up in her

996
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,920
luxury box and they put the graphic up. It is

997
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,280
now official at All in London. It will be Mercedes

998
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,599
Monet challenging Willow Nightingale for the Women's World Championship and

999
00:58:19,719 --> 00:58:25,559
Orange Cassidy gave Willow a backpack that she immediately stuffed

1000
00:58:25,599 --> 00:58:29,480
the belt into. Wonderful. We had the men's world title

1001
00:58:29,519 --> 00:58:31,400
in a briefcase for a year and now we got

1002
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,559
the women's world title in a fucking backpack. Lovely look.

1003
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,239
I thought they had a good match. I'm just not

1004
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,400
a fan of how rush this all felt. For Willow's

1005
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,559
first world title win. And I know she's won matches

1006
00:58:44,599 --> 00:58:49,119
before with the backslide. I'm aware of that. It doesn't

1007
00:58:49,159 --> 00:58:51,199
mean I have to like it as far as that

1008
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,960
being the finish for the first time that she wins

1009
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,840
the World Championship. She wins on a fucking backslide. Are

1010
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:03,960
you for real that's the finish of this match? You

1011
00:59:04,039 --> 00:59:06,760
do that in a TV match. You don't do that

1012
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,760
in a pay per view match when you're winning the

1013
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,920
world title for the first time. The sad part about

1014
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,599
this is her beating Mercedes and winning the TBS Championship

1015
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,400
on that New Year's Smash episode of Dynamite felt like

1016
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,079
a much bigger deal than this did here in Montreal,

1017
00:59:22,119 --> 00:59:24,559
all on this pay per view world title on the line,

1018
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,920
and that moment and that win and that finish felt

1019
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,559
like a much bigger deal than what we got here.

1020
00:59:30,599 --> 00:59:34,719
And that's sad. So that part of it. I did

1021
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:39,159
not like Willow against Mercedes, though it always made sense

1022
00:59:39,199 --> 00:59:40,920
to me, is the match to do at Wembley. I've

1023
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,800
been saying it ever since she came back and won

1024
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:47,119
that gauntlet match at Beach Break, and I don't think

1025
00:59:47,159 --> 00:59:50,239
that Mercedes should win the belt on that show. In fact,

1026
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,119
as I sit here right now, and you can call

1027
00:59:52,159 --> 00:59:56,320
me crazy, I promise you I don't have anything too

1028
00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:00,360
strong in this cup here. I think will Everyone's worried

1029
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,039
about Willow being a transitional champion and all that. As

1030
01:00:04,039 --> 01:00:06,199
I sit here right now with five weeks left to

1031
01:00:06,199 --> 01:00:09,239
go before we get to Wembley Stadium, I don't think

1032
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,159
Willow is going to be a transitional champion. I don't

1033
01:00:12,159 --> 01:00:14,800
think it's a foregone conclusion that Mercedes is winning the belt.

1034
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:16,840
I understand that she won the Owen last year and

1035
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,480
she went and she lost. Why would they do that

1036
01:00:19,599 --> 01:00:22,639
again two years in a row. Wins the Owen and loses. Yeah,

1037
01:00:22,639 --> 01:00:26,559
I think this is a very real possibility of that. Now,

1038
01:00:26,599 --> 01:00:29,280
if she goes in there and loses, then yeah, that sucks.

1039
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,599
But put the belt on her for the first time

1040
01:00:31,639 --> 01:00:33,880
and take it away five weeks later, that's pretty shitty.

1041
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,320
But don't assume that Mercedes is automatically getting the belt.

1042
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:39,840
There were a lot of things that you could assume

1043
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,960
coming into this pay per view tonight. You could assume

1044
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,159
that Kenny Omega was not losing to Kevin Knight, right.

1045
01:00:45,199 --> 01:00:47,519
You could assume Adam Copeland and Christian Cage were not

1046
01:00:47,639 --> 01:00:51,760
losing their tag team titles. Don't assume that Willow is

1047
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,920
going to lose her championship to Mercedes Monete. I'll just

1048
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:59,760
say that Tekla, she had over one hundred and sixty

1049
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:04,559
day as the women's champion. I remember, for the longest

1050
01:01:04,599 --> 01:01:06,440
time when she first came in, I didn't know what

1051
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,480
the woman sounded like I didn't hear her cut a

1052
01:01:09,519 --> 01:01:12,639
single promo. Now you can't shut her up, and she's great.

1053
01:01:13,679 --> 01:01:16,960
She's got more personality than most people. I don't just

1054
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,079
mean on the AW roster. She's got more personality in

1055
01:01:21,159 --> 01:01:24,880
charisma than most people in wrestling today. She's become a

1056
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:29,000
favorite on the many of these Dynamite shows, and she

1057
01:01:29,079 --> 01:01:31,039
had a good run again. One hundred and sixty days

1058
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,119
is nothing to sneeze out. There is speculation on social media.

1059
01:01:34,199 --> 01:01:39,679
People are they're chattering, They're talking about the possibility that

1060
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,039
maybe now that she's not the champion, they could be

1061
01:01:42,079 --> 01:01:47,079
setting up a match involving her and Kyrie Saye for

1062
01:01:47,239 --> 01:01:50,119
all in London. If Kyrie is coming in. Kyrie, by

1063
01:01:50,159 --> 01:01:54,039
the way, has retained the services of one Barry Bloom

1064
01:01:55,639 --> 01:01:59,159
and there is a lot of speculation that that will

1065
01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:02,440
lead to her eventually ending up in AWAW has the

1066
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:06,400
working relationship with Stardom. If Kyrie went to Stardom, right,

1067
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,599
that could also kind of be her back doorway into AW.

1068
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,039
And Tecla right now is one third. I believe right

1069
01:02:14,079 --> 01:02:17,119
the artist of Stardom right those the trio's belts. I

1070
01:02:17,119 --> 01:02:20,159
believe she's a champion in stardom. She still has her

1071
01:02:20,239 --> 01:02:23,599
long running feud would start them. There could be something

1072
01:02:23,639 --> 01:02:27,079
there maybe with her and Kyrie and if So, and again,

1073
01:02:27,159 --> 01:02:29,679
right now it's all speculation, but if So, I could

1074
01:02:29,719 --> 01:02:31,679
see that, you know, and I could get behind that.

1075
01:02:31,719 --> 01:02:36,039
But she should most definitely have something for that show.

1076
01:02:36,079 --> 01:02:38,559
She should be factored into that show in some way.

1077
01:02:38,719 --> 01:02:41,039
Just because she's not the champion anymore doesn't mean that

1078
01:02:41,039 --> 01:02:44,039
Tecla goes away. I don't want to see that. But

1079
01:02:44,039 --> 01:02:46,519
Willow and Mercedes always felt like this is the match

1080
01:02:46,599 --> 01:02:51,320
to do babyface against heel instead of doing two heels

1081
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,320
against each other. The main event of this show had

1082
01:02:55,440 --> 01:03:00,280
Kenny Omega defending the AW World Championship against the Jet

1083
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,920
Kevin Knight, the reigning TNT champion. Knight hit Omega from

1084
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,800
behind during the ring intros and choked him with his

1085
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:12,440
wrist tape, and as Night was throwing punches at Kenny's gut,

1086
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:21,079
we got the obligatory diverticulitis mentioned from ex Caliber drink Omegas.

1087
01:03:21,239 --> 01:03:24,840
By the way, I don't know what was going on

1088
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,440
with Tony Schavanni. He sounded like a fucking pullstring doll

1089
01:03:27,679 --> 01:03:29,920
on this show, like he contributed nothing on this show.

1090
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,880
It's very weird. The commentary situation was very weird. Nigel

1091
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,840
was fine and then halfway through the show they swapped

1092
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,599
him out with Taz and Taz is always great, but yeah,

1093
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,599
Chevanni was just like, I mean, you could cut his

1094
01:03:44,639 --> 01:03:47,960
mic and not miss anything on this show. Omega stood

1095
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,119
on top of the announced desk at one point, or

1096
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,480
he was over by the announced desk. He delivered a

1097
01:03:52,559 --> 01:03:56,960
Snapdragon supplex onto the desk. Ex Caliber said that Omega

1098
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,519
had to get staples in his head after Knight had

1099
01:03:59,599 --> 01:04:01,760
hit him with the belt on Dynamite, which is true.

1100
01:04:02,079 --> 01:04:04,480
You remember that last spot at the end of Dynamite

1101
01:04:04,519 --> 01:04:07,239
on Wednesday where they had that short ramp to the

1102
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,360
ring and Knight flew out, I mean he fucking flew

1103
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,559
out and whacked Kenny in the head with the belt

1104
01:04:14,639 --> 01:04:17,719
might have been the TNT belt and Kenny came up bleeding,

1105
01:04:18,679 --> 01:04:22,360
So that's what he was referring to there. Omega set

1106
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,039
up for a top rope Dragon suplex. Night, though, fought

1107
01:04:25,079 --> 01:04:27,440
free and he tied up Omega in a tree of woe,

1108
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,800
went to the opposite corner and he delivered his Coast

1109
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:37,400
to coast dropkick. So late in the match, Knight went

1110
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:42,360
to the floor and he grabbed both belts. He placed

1111
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,639
one of the belts under the ring skirt and the

1112
01:04:44,679 --> 01:04:47,360
referee caught him with the other belts, so Knight tossed it,

1113
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,400
tossed it away and when the referee went after it,

1114
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,920
Knight grabbed the other belt and he went to go

1115
01:04:53,039 --> 01:04:56,559
hit Omega with it. Kenny, though, kicked him, and Kenny

1116
01:04:56,599 --> 01:04:59,519
went for the One Winged Angel. Knight slipped out. He

1117
01:04:59,599 --> 01:05:03,679
delivered to Urinagi onto the TNT title and then Kevin

1118
01:05:03,719 --> 01:05:06,000
slid the belt out of the ring. He covered Omega.

1119
01:05:06,679 --> 01:05:09,800
Referee made the count only for a near fall, so

1120
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,599
Night went for a UFO splash. Kenny got the knees up,

1121
01:05:12,719 --> 01:05:17,320
Omega went for the One Winged Angel again. Night slipped out. Ultimately,

1122
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,840
though Kenny caught him with a leaping knee strike and

1123
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:25,159
he did finally hit the One Winged Angel and picked

1124
01:05:25,199 --> 01:05:29,239
up the win. To the surprise and shock of absolutely

1125
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:34,079
no one. Kenny Obega retains the aw World Championship, a

1126
01:05:34,199 --> 01:05:38,599
title that he should have retained without question, no one

1127
01:05:38,639 --> 01:05:41,719
will deny that, but a title that he really should

1128
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,679
have won on this show, and there may have been

1129
01:05:45,719 --> 01:05:48,480
reasons why it didn't happen. Again, MJF maybe has the

1130
01:05:48,519 --> 01:05:50,880
bad leg and it was injury related and he wanted

1131
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,480
to make sure that he had plenty of time to

1132
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,639
rest and rehab and get ready for all In, And

1133
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,880
that may well be the case. I'm just saying maybe

1134
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,599
there was nothing Tony Ka can do about it. It

1135
01:06:01,639 --> 01:06:04,000
doesn't change the fact that on a show called Redemption

1136
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,400
Kenny's home country, where he came out there and he

1137
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:12,840
was beloved, the moment that that creative changed and Kenny

1138
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:16,679
beat him weeks early to win the championship. That's why

1139
01:06:16,679 --> 01:06:18,920
I said at the beginning of this review, the entire

1140
01:06:19,039 --> 01:06:23,480
need for a show called Redemption went out the fucking window.

1141
01:06:23,639 --> 01:06:26,320
It just it didn't hit the same way as if

1142
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,400
he would have won that belt in that building tonight.

1143
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,599
It's unfortunate because that would have been a great moment

1144
01:06:30,679 --> 01:06:33,400
in the right place at the right time. It didn't

1145
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,519
work out that way. What we got here was a

1146
01:06:35,639 --> 01:06:38,519
very good wrestling match, and Kevin Knight was very impressive.

1147
01:06:38,599 --> 01:06:41,840
Kevin Knight is not where Kenny Omega is. He's not

1148
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,760
where Will Osprey is. He's not there yet. Hopefully he'll

1149
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,360
get there. He's got the tools, he's got the talent,

1150
01:06:47,679 --> 01:06:50,119
and Tony Kahan obviously believes in him. He's been getting

1151
01:06:50,159 --> 01:06:53,480
pushed all year long and he's held multiple championships and

1152
01:06:53,519 --> 01:06:56,960
that's great. But this did not feel like your typical

1153
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,880
aw pay per view Maine event. This felt like it

1154
01:07:00,039 --> 01:07:03,360
would have been an excellent television main event. This was

1155
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,480
not a pay per view main event that you go

1156
01:07:06,559 --> 01:07:08,119
out of your way to think, oh man, this is

1157
01:07:09,119 --> 01:07:11,239
a big deal here, like that's not what this was.

1158
01:07:12,519 --> 01:07:14,480
But what it did do when it was over, was

1159
01:07:14,639 --> 01:07:16,920
it set up an angle when the match was over.

1160
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,480
Because when it was over, Wheeler you To and Daniel

1161
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,800
Garcia they were back. They ran out and attacked Omega,

1162
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,760
packing Claudio. They joined in on the beat down. John

1163
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,480
Moxley and Marina Shaffir they came out. So the young

1164
01:07:30,519 --> 01:07:32,719
Bucks ran out to try to help, and they were

1165
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:36,800
quickly dispatched. Claudio wrapped a chair around Omega's head. He

1166
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,559
was laying face down on the mat and so Claudio

1167
01:07:40,639 --> 01:07:48,800
places the chair around his neck. Will Osprey enters and

1168
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,760
he gets in the ring and he shields Kenny and

1169
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,079
he's trying to tell the death Riders to back off,

1170
01:07:54,159 --> 01:07:58,119
don't do this. Da tells Osprey it's okay, it's okay.

1171
01:07:58,239 --> 01:08:01,239
He embraces him, and then he shoots a look over

1172
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,760
to Claudio, like go ahead and kill him. Claudio went

1173
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,519
to go kill Omega. Osprey, though, shoved him down to

1174
01:08:07,559 --> 01:08:10,480
the mat. He pulled the chair off Omega's neck and

1175
01:08:10,559 --> 01:08:12,639
he starts swinging the chair and the death Riders they

1176
01:08:12,639 --> 01:08:17,399
all scatter. So John Moxley gets into the ring. Osprey

1177
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,239
is standing in front of Omega with the chair, and

1178
01:08:19,279 --> 01:08:23,239
I'm watching this because Kenny is he's still he's still down,

1179
01:08:23,319 --> 01:08:26,720
but he's you know, he's awake, barely, he's kind of dazed.

1180
01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:31,399
And Osprey's back is turned to him and he's got

1181
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,680
the chair in his hand, and I'm like, oh, don't

1182
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,880
tell me. I'm like, don't tell me. There's no way.

1183
01:08:39,239 --> 01:08:43,560
There's no way they're turning Osprey heel five weeks out

1184
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,800
from Wembley, right. I thought for sure my wrestling brain

1185
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,119
was telling me the way, just what he was positioned,

1186
01:08:49,159 --> 01:08:52,359
like Kenny's gonna get to his feet, Osprey's gonna whack

1187
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,000
him in the head, which you know, when when you

1188
01:08:54,039 --> 01:08:57,039
really think about it, there is a way to tell

1189
01:08:57,039 --> 01:09:02,359
that story where he listened to what Moxley told him

1190
01:09:02,359 --> 01:09:05,039
earlier in the show and he decided, you know what,

1191
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,319
Moxley is right, And so as soon as Kenny gets

1192
01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:10,760
back up to his feet, you have Osbury whack him

1193
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,000
in the head with a chair. He'll be a heel

1194
01:09:13,039 --> 01:09:16,119
in the building tonight, but you still have five weeks

1195
01:09:16,159 --> 01:09:19,279
to where he can sort of wake up right to

1196
01:09:19,319 --> 01:09:22,079
where he wouldn't be going into Wembley as the heel,

1197
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,399
so it wouldn't be like a proper heel turn, maybe

1198
01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:27,279
a heel turn for a few weeks until he wakes

1199
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:30,560
up and realizes that the Death Riders have been feeding

1200
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,159
him a bunch of bullshit, and then you shoot the

1201
01:09:33,199 --> 01:09:35,319
angle where he kind of breaks away from them. So

1202
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,319
there was a way where you could have done that.

1203
01:09:37,399 --> 01:09:39,600
But in the moment, I'm like, I hope that's not

1204
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:43,159
what this is, and thankfully that's not what it was.

1205
01:09:44,319 --> 01:09:48,079
But then Moxley pulls out the dreaded plastic bag of doom.

1206
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,680
We haven't seen the plastic bag in a while. We

1207
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:58,000
haven't seen Brian Danielson in an active capacity on the

1208
01:09:58,039 --> 01:10:01,319
show outside of being a commentator since they put the

1209
01:10:01,319 --> 01:10:04,159
plastic bag over his head, right. I guess, well, I

1210
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:06,600
guess last year in the Hangman match, I guess he

1211
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,479
ran in. He did it with Sakuni, I believe. But

1212
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,279
that's really what put him down as a full time

1213
01:10:12,319 --> 01:10:15,920
pro wrestler was the angle they shot where they tried

1214
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:19,359
to suffocate him to death. So he pulls out the

1215
01:10:19,359 --> 01:10:24,560
plastic bag and I'm sure striking fear in the hearts

1216
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,640
of all of the lawmakers in New York who have

1217
01:10:28,079 --> 01:10:31,640
banned such a thing. But he hands the plastic bag

1218
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,720
over to will Ospray and he gives Osprey a kiss

1219
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,520
on the cheek. Osprey now is staring at this bag.

1220
01:10:38,039 --> 01:10:41,640
He is staring intensely at the plastic bag. He's looking

1221
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,239
down at Omega, He's looking back at the bag. What

1222
01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:49,960
is he gonna do? Ultimately he rips the bag in half.

1223
01:10:51,079 --> 01:10:53,680
Osprey turns to Moxley and he drops him with a punch.

1224
01:10:54,199 --> 01:10:56,199
He has made his decision. There will be no more

1225
01:10:56,239 --> 01:10:59,680
death riders for will Ospray. Marina Shafir gets in the

1226
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,359
ring and he immediately throws her right out of the ring.

1227
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:07,399
Uda and Garcia they charged him, and Osprey lowbridged them

1228
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,359
to the floor. Claudio charged at him. Osprey back dropped

1229
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,079
him over the top rope and then he dropped Pack

1230
01:11:13,119 --> 01:11:16,920
with a hidden blade, and the death Riders retreated. Ospray

1231
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,439
now is looking down at the AW World Championship, which

1232
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:23,159
is laying on the mat in the corner, and he

1233
01:11:23,239 --> 01:11:27,520
picks up the belt. Omega pulls himself up to his feet,

1234
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,720
and Kenny looks and he finds pieces of the plastic

1235
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:36,800
bag laying on the mat, and so Osprey holds out

1236
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,079
the belt. Kenny's got the plastic bag remnants, Like, what

1237
01:11:40,119 --> 01:11:45,680
the fuck? He grabs the belt from Ospray. Osprey. Then

1238
01:11:47,039 --> 01:11:49,520
he accepts the handshake that Kenny offers him. But then

1239
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:53,560
he leans in and he tells Omega says, from this

1240
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:57,279
moment on, it's about you and me and the two

1241
01:11:57,279 --> 01:11:59,079
and them. They go to different corners of the ring

1242
01:11:59,159 --> 01:12:01,560
and they're posing and it looks like, yeah, the pay

1243
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,600
per view is ending at this point, right, it looks

1244
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:07,960
like the show's going off the air. As Osprey is

1245
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,359
posing on the turn buckles in the corner, Omega he

1246
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:18,680
slips underneath him and he delivers a one winged angel

1247
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,199
and he drops Osprey down in the back of his

1248
01:12:21,239 --> 01:12:25,239
neck and the fans boot this, by the way, actually

1249
01:12:25,239 --> 01:12:28,760
boot Kenny Omega for doing this. He picks up the

1250
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:33,119
plastic bag pieces and he's like talking shit and he's

1251
01:12:33,119 --> 01:12:35,960
pointing at them, and the young bucks get into the

1252
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,000
ring and they're talking to him, like what are you doing?

1253
01:12:38,079 --> 01:12:40,800
And they end up posing together and that's how they

1254
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,279
go off the air. So let's make one thing perfectly

1255
01:12:43,359 --> 01:12:46,399
clear here, because this was this was not a heel turn.

1256
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,159
I know, in the moment it kind of felt like,

1257
01:12:49,199 --> 01:12:52,039
oh my god, Kenny Omega's going heel, and the fans

1258
01:12:52,039 --> 01:12:55,319
did start booing him a little bit, but that's not

1259
01:12:55,359 --> 01:12:58,039
what this was. I will also tell you I appreciate

1260
01:12:58,279 --> 01:13:03,560
their self restraint only having this main event go twenty

1261
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:07,199
five minutes, which is a big surprise for an aw

1262
01:13:07,319 --> 01:13:10,359
pay per view. To let your main event only go

1263
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,560
twenty five minutes took a lot of self control by

1264
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:17,840
Tony Kahn Okay and the wrestlers. I am grateful for it.

1265
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,800
I'm grateful that the match only went twenty five I

1266
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,680
thought for sure they were going forty. Thankfully that didn't happen.

1267
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,119
The match itself, I thought was very good, not at

1268
01:13:28,159 --> 01:13:30,600
the level of their typical like top pay per view

1269
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,399
main events. We've had a lot of great pay per

1270
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:34,439
view matches and great pay per view main events from

1271
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:39,079
this company this year. They're sort of their own worst

1272
01:13:39,199 --> 01:13:41,720
enemy in that regard, right, because it's only natural that

1273
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:45,199
as these shows take place, like you may compare and say, oh, well,

1274
01:13:45,199 --> 01:13:46,640
this was not as good as that. This was not

1275
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:50,359
as good as that match, and so their reputation on

1276
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:53,600
pay per view is very good. You know, you're gonna

1277
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,000
get quality matches up and down these shows most of

1278
01:13:56,079 --> 01:13:59,920
the time. And I'm not saying this was not a quality, man,

1279
01:14:00,239 --> 01:14:02,920
it was just not up to snuff, you know, from

1280
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,800
what you would normally get in a main event spot

1281
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,279
here on the show. But as I said before, it

1282
01:14:08,279 --> 01:14:11,319
would have been an excellent DYNA my main event. It's

1283
01:14:11,359 --> 01:14:14,439
too bad we didn't get it there on this show.

1284
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,159
Knowing that the outcome was never in doubt here, it

1285
01:14:17,239 --> 01:14:20,560
needed something more. It didn't have that. I mean, it

1286
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:22,359
had the post match angle, but that had nothing to

1287
01:14:22,399 --> 01:14:27,000
do with Kevin Knight. We knew coming into this that

1288
01:14:27,079 --> 01:14:30,079
Kevin Knight was a great athlete. We knew that maybe

1289
01:14:30,119 --> 01:14:32,319
he's a future world champion, right, there was nothing that

1290
01:14:32,359 --> 01:14:35,079
I saw from him here in this match. That makes

1291
01:14:35,119 --> 01:14:39,199
me feel any different, Nothing that makes me feel any

1292
01:14:39,199 --> 01:14:41,840
different than I felt coming into the show. He doesn't

1293
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,000
come out of it looking all that much better, he

1294
01:14:45,039 --> 01:14:48,800
doesn't come out of it looking worse. He comes out

1295
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,239
of it. I think it's almost like he's in the

1296
01:14:50,239 --> 01:14:52,880
same exact spot he was in before, except he's the

1297
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,560
TNT champion and he just got beat And there's no

1298
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,000
shame in losing to Kenny Omega. There's no shame in

1299
01:14:58,039 --> 01:15:01,079
losing to the world champion. But I don't know that

1300
01:15:01,119 --> 01:15:03,000
he needed to be in this position, and I do

1301
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,560
I'm going to assume that if MJF was healthy enough

1302
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,640
to work this show, the matches would have been Kenny

1303
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:14,159
Omega against MJF and Darby Allen against Kevin Knight. And

1304
01:15:14,239 --> 01:15:17,720
instead they did Darby and Kevin Knight on television this week,

1305
01:15:18,159 --> 01:15:23,479
and Kevin Knight just beat him. So plans plans unfortunately

1306
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:28,479
changed for this show as far as the postmatch stuff.

1307
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,079
In the end, the message here is that John Moxley

1308
01:15:32,159 --> 01:15:35,079
was correct in what he told will Osprey earlier in

1309
01:15:35,119 --> 01:15:38,119
the show. This is the biggest opportunity of your life.

1310
01:15:38,159 --> 01:15:40,640
You're going into London. You need to be on point.

1311
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,680
You cannot be soft, you cannot be friends with people.

1312
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,920
You have to have eyes in the back of your head, right,

1313
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,840
That was the message he was trying to tell him.

1314
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,920
And look what happened, Kenny Omega dumped him on his

1315
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:57,760
fucking head. So the message is that John Moxley was

1316
01:15:58,159 --> 01:16:00,000
telling the truth. He knew exactly what he was telling

1317
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,920
talking about and he turned out to be right. Right.

1318
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:04,760
You have to be willing to go for the kill shot.

1319
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,680
If not, the kill shot will come get you, which

1320
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:12,640
is what happened with Osprey. With Kenny, he told the

1321
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,520
doctors after he hit the move, go check on him.

1322
01:16:16,319 --> 01:16:19,039
So it was like he was upset about the plastic bag.

1323
01:16:20,079 --> 01:16:22,479
That's what he was upset about. I don't know if

1324
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:28,720
he was upset that Osprey almost used it on him

1325
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,039
or he took too long to kind of think about

1326
01:16:31,079 --> 01:16:32,800
whether or not he should use it on him and

1327
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,119
that pissed him off. But I'm going to assume that's

1328
01:16:36,319 --> 01:16:39,199
the story we should hear from Kenny on TV this week.

1329
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,239
So that's what happened there. But now we have some

1330
01:16:42,319 --> 01:16:44,359
real tension between them. And here's the thing I liked

1331
01:16:44,359 --> 01:16:46,760
about the angle forget the fucking plastic bag or the

1332
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,880
little minute details of what they did. What I like

1333
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:53,439
about it is this, It's very simple. Now we have

1334
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:58,119
some real tension between Omega and Osprey. Heading into this show.

1335
01:16:58,159 --> 01:17:01,119
We don't have the brother brother I love you, I

1336
01:17:01,199 --> 01:17:04,439
respect you, you know, blah blah blah blah blah fucking

1337
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:07,640
gag me. Okay, like Mick Foley. So we don't have that.

1338
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,760
Now we want some real tension. Now we have it.

1339
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,680
And I said, John Moxley is going to be the

1340
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,239
catalyst to it. I didn't know it was going to

1341
01:17:16,279 --> 01:17:19,239
go down exactly the way it did here, but Moxley

1342
01:17:19,279 --> 01:17:20,640
was always going to be the one that was going

1343
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,520
to cause problems between these two. Osbury made his choice

1344
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,359
on this show that he is done with the death

1345
01:17:26,399 --> 01:17:30,720
Rider seemingly, but as soon as Kenny saw that plastic bag,

1346
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,560
he took umbrage, right, he took offense. How could you

1347
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,800
even consider doing something like that to me? I thought

1348
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:38,720
I thought we were friends. I thought we were brothers.

1349
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:41,399
That's going to be the story now coming out of

1350
01:17:41,399 --> 01:17:44,680
this show, and we'll see where they take it, where

1351
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,479
John Moxley fits into all this. Who's Moxley going to wrestle.

1352
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,880
Who's Moxley gonna defend his Continental title against? Are they

1353
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:55,199
just going to run back him? And hangmen, we're Swerve, Right,

1354
01:17:55,279 --> 01:17:57,920
There's a lot of questions here that we don't have

1355
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,880
answers to. That was another thing about this show. You

1356
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,119
could feel that there was some really big names missing

1357
01:18:03,199 --> 01:18:08,399
from this card, like MJF, like Hangman, like Swerve, like

1358
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:12,479
Okada Ta Keshta. Right, they were missing. They were missing

1359
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:16,359
a lot of names here on this show. But at

1360
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,960
least now we've got a new wrinkle here in this story.

1361
01:18:20,119 --> 01:18:22,760
That's a good thing at least. And look, we have

1362
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,680
to get the eventual match between Osbrey and Moxley because

1363
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,920
not not just because the story dictates it, but because

1364
01:18:29,279 --> 01:18:31,880
Will's got to get that win back from Dynasty. It's

1365
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:36,159
gonna happen at some point. So that was the redemption card,

1366
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,079
a pay per view that really did not need to happen.

1367
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,840
We got some we got some good wrestling, We got

1368
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:46,000
some stuff that I fucking hated on this show. You

1369
01:18:46,399 --> 01:18:48,560
know what that is? We went We went over it already.

1370
01:18:49,279 --> 01:18:50,960
This is going to end up being at the bottom

1371
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,640
of the list this year when it comes to aw

1372
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,720
pay per views. This will probably be rock fucking bottom,

1373
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,319
at least on my list, it will be. I don't

1374
01:18:59,319 --> 01:19:01,439
think I was all that enamored with Forbidden Door, but

1375
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,279
I feel like there was more stuff I enjoyed on

1376
01:19:03,319 --> 01:19:07,520
that show than I did, and that cage match, to

1377
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:09,840
be fair, that cage match at Forbidden Door, it turned

1378
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:11,479
out to be a lot more fun than I expected

1379
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:14,319
it to be. We didn't have anything like that on

1380
01:19:14,319 --> 01:19:15,960
this show. They were parts of the show where I

1381
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:21,399
was fucking bored watching it, so was the crowd. And

1382
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,039
then there were just other things on the show that

1383
01:19:23,079 --> 01:19:25,239
I just didn't care for, you know, whether it was

1384
01:19:25,279 --> 01:19:27,159
some of the stuff we saw in the Jericho match,

1385
01:19:27,199 --> 01:19:32,880
whether it was that awful chain match, just not great.

1386
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,399
But the stuff that was really good was really good.

1387
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,239
So I don't know where it ranks for you guys.

1388
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,800
For me, it's somewhere in the middle, but definitely on

1389
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:45,800
the lower side than the higher side. That was the

1390
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:49,399
story of Redemption, and that redemption is in the books.

1391
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,880
We don't care about Redemption anymore. Now. It's all about

1392
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,399
All In. It's their biggest show of the year five

1393
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:59,039
weeks away, and the card will start coming together very quickly.

1394
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,439
Now that there are no more pay per views between

1395
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:04,359
now and then, although we do have the Grand Slam

1396
01:20:04,399 --> 01:20:08,079
Show at Arena Mexico coming up on August August fifth,

1397
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,439
so we'll see how that goes. All right, Let's take

1398
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,960
a look at your super chats and then I will

1399
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:20,640
get you guys on out of here. It doesn't look

1400
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:25,399
like we're gonna hit that likes goal, so it's looking

1401
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:32,680
like a be the Booker free night tonight. Unfortunately, we'll

1402
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,840
try again with Raw tomorrow, but let me get through

1403
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:43,359
your messages here. We have Athena versus Maya World at

1404
01:20:43,399 --> 01:20:48,840
Wembley Stadium. You know you do that match, you're running

1405
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,560
into the same problem with like the bandido thing. Like

1406
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,760
Athena really isn't somebody who should be eating L's if

1407
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,520
she has this Ring of Honor World Championship that she's

1408
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:03,600
had for like, you know, ten thousand days. But I

1409
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,039
also don't want her going in there and beating my world,

1410
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:13,800
so I would actually avoid that match personally. Thank you,

1411
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:19,920
Rectangle Joseph Stewart showing some love tonight, Happy Sunday to

1412
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,399
you as well. Appreciate it. Yes, Ryan Gosling is going

1413
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:29,479
to play ghostwriter in the in the New Ghostwriter movie

1414
01:21:30,079 --> 01:21:32,520
and my thoughts on Doom and Magneto finally being in

1415
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,560
a movie together. It sounds cool. I mean, there were

1416
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:42,880
two of my favorites when I used to collect the cards,

1417
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,119
so I think that's okay with me. What are your

1418
01:21:47,119 --> 01:21:50,600
thoughts on Dominic Mysterio turning on El Grande Americano last

1419
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:55,800
night at Triple A. I did not see Triple A,

1420
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:57,960
so I have no comments on it. I assume that's

1421
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,399
the match at Triple Mania, and El Grande Americano should

1422
01:22:01,399 --> 01:22:03,560
win the Triple A Mega title from dom on that show,

1423
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,159
and so long as he is the Triple A Mega Champion,

1424
01:22:09,199 --> 01:22:12,520
Dominic Mysterio should not be losing the fucking Dan Housen

1425
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:17,600
at SummerSlam next weekend. Do you think Nick Wayne is

1426
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,479
going to be a big star and cross No? No,

1427
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,920
he's not crossover into Hollywood? Have you lost your mind?

1428
01:22:26,359 --> 01:22:28,239
Do you think Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight are going

1429
01:22:28,319 --> 01:22:32,239
to be big stars and crossover starting? No? No. Do

1430
01:22:32,279 --> 01:22:35,039
you remember w WE had a Cane action figure in

1431
01:22:35,039 --> 01:22:37,199
the nineties where you can remove his mask and his

1432
01:22:37,279 --> 01:22:42,960
face was burnt. That might be worth something today. I

1433
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:50,560
don't have that myself. I did not see that. I

1434
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,600
didn't see those movies, Joseph, so I can't really comment

1435
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:59,720
on Julian's performance in though. Did you see the picture

1436
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,800
of both Dallas with Matt and Jeff Hardy at an

1437
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:07,359
autograph signing? I did. He's a free agent. Now he's

1438
01:23:07,399 --> 01:23:11,479
a free man. We'll see if he decides to keep wrestling.

1439
01:23:16,159 --> 01:23:18,680
And he's got some birthday shout outs for some lovely

1440
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:23,039
ladies and says, I hope you had a great weekend

1441
01:23:23,079 --> 01:23:27,239
solo monster. I did, and now it's over, unfortunately, but

1442
01:23:27,319 --> 01:23:29,520
thank you, Joseph. Philip Bowman, I mentioned Dark Side of

1443
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,319
the Ring last stream, and I just wanted to add

1444
01:23:31,399 --> 01:23:34,680
Joe saying he agreed to do the match with necro

1445
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,640
Butcher to hang with his girlfriend now wife cracked me up.

1446
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,000
It was the best line of the entire episode. I

1447
01:23:40,039 --> 01:23:42,079
talked about it in my full Dark Side review on

1448
01:23:42,119 --> 01:23:45,840
the sound Off today. Go check it out. He says,

1449
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,760
what artists or bands could you personally apply and not

1450
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,239
apply the separate art or separate the art from the

1451
01:23:52,359 --> 01:23:58,439
artist's mindset to I think there were people that would

1452
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:03,520
say that about Michael Jackson, whose music is iconic and

1453
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:10,279
timeless and great. I think that might. That's probably one

1454
01:24:10,279 --> 01:24:14,439
of the better examples that you can think of. I'm

1455
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:19,119
sure everybody will have their own personal favorites though that

1456
01:24:19,159 --> 01:24:23,560
they can chime in with. Says. I still enjoy Deftones

1457
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:29,479
guitarist being a flat earther aside, but I'll never listen

1458
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:35,319
to RHCP because of Anthony likes some young Keatis. Yeah,

1459
01:24:35,399 --> 01:24:41,119
fuck that guy, Misfit Wrestling podcast with a ten. You

1460
01:24:41,119 --> 01:24:43,000
mean to tell me the same? Will Osprey that hit

1461
01:24:43,079 --> 01:24:46,720
Kenny Omega with a screwdriver that forbidden door a few

1462
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:50,680
years ago to win the United States Championship, that suffocating

1463
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:58,199
him as going too far? Evidently it is. Evidently it is.

1464
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:06,359
That's right, the dreaded screwdriver Zach the jet first time

1465
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,640
chatter here. I gotta be honest, Aw has fumbled Osprey's

1466
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:13,039
character heading into all in with this melodrama stuff with

1467
01:25:13,239 --> 01:25:18,439
the death Riders. Well, I mean, this is the bed

1468
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:20,600
that they made months ago, and they decided to go

1469
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:25,159
with this story. They decided to go in that direction.

1470
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:28,279
I'm glad they're actually adding some story to it. Though

1471
01:25:29,079 --> 01:25:32,800
I'm not gonna hate on that. I understand the story

1472
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,840
they're telling I think it's fairly easy to follow, especially

1473
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,840
after what happened tonight, and I'm glad that there is

1474
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,520
a story. If this is the match they were gonna do,

1475
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,680
you know, two babyfaces with him and Omega. You gotta

1476
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:50,119
create melo drama somehow. At least now we have some.

1477
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:57,000
I'd rather there be some The none boots Lexi Naire,

1478
01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:03,000
Oh my goodness, don't let Big Bill hear you. He's

1479
01:26:03,039 --> 01:26:09,239
gonna come stomp you out with his boots soon. WWE

1480
01:26:09,279 --> 01:26:11,680
will buy Solemn Monster Sounds Off. It will be called

1481
01:26:12,279 --> 01:26:22,520
WWE Sounds Off. Never Never Gonna happen. Ben Tucker says

1482
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:26,680
the first time in one of your live shots, Well, welcome, Ben.

1483
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,479
You picked a late one. I don't like it when

1484
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,680
we go this late, but if it's an aw pay

1485
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,479
per view, then you can rest asshirt. We're gonna be

1486
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,520
going on late. I usually don't even cover a lot

1487
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,319
of these shows because it's it's not worth it to

1488
01:26:38,359 --> 01:26:43,880
stay up so late to talk about sometimes, but I

1489
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:47,199
figured this one. It was a new one. They bumped

1490
01:26:47,279 --> 01:26:50,680
the start time up earlier, which means maybe it'll end earlier.

1491
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,760
Silly me. I mean it ended earlier than Forbidden Door did,

1492
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:58,640
but it's still went five fucking hours. This was the

1493
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:05,359
Tuesday in Texas. Yeah, Tuesday in Texas didn't have ten matches, though,

1494
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:12,159
tux Et Servos is. When I saw your first start time,

1495
01:27:12,239 --> 01:27:16,840
I was wondering what you were drinking for the show. Hey,

1496
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,159
at least the review started before midnight Central Time. As

1497
01:27:20,239 --> 01:27:24,800
always looked forward to the review. I knew the show

1498
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,000
was going to midnight. I knew it. I knew it

1499
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,359
in my heart. I knew it was going to midnight.

1500
01:27:32,279 --> 01:27:36,119
Jersey authentic. These five hour pay per views are not it,

1501
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:43,119
and wwepls are no better. Wwepl e's are largely fucking terrible.

1502
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:52,319
I spoke a lot of weed nine here. He is

1503
01:27:53,319 --> 01:27:56,479
add to be the booker. Match has been thrown out

1504
01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:03,079
due to insert wrestler rep friends. Insert wrestler comes to

1505
01:28:03,079 --> 01:28:07,720
even the score. Teddy Long has made this a tag

1506
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,920
team match player. That's not a bad one. Actually, that

1507
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,359
wouldn't be a bad one to head. I'll have to

1508
01:28:14,359 --> 01:28:19,039
take that under advisement. Eric Dashawan with a twenty a

1509
01:28:19,159 --> 01:28:21,119
rare night for me to be up this late, might

1510
01:28:21,159 --> 01:28:23,359
as well give you some love so well. I appreciate

1511
01:28:23,399 --> 01:28:25,439
that love, and I'm happy that you're hanging out with

1512
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:30,720
us tonight and retro Koah Solomoser just wrote the plot

1513
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:36,760
to the adult video Cactus Sack. That is a video

1514
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:41,319
that should never ever be made, and I hope to

1515
01:28:41,359 --> 01:28:46,119
god it never does get made. Yeah, the Mick Foley

1516
01:28:46,199 --> 01:28:53,039
thing was fucking weird. Holy shit, was that weird? But

1517
01:28:53,079 --> 01:28:55,159
I'm sure you'll get people like, oh, it was funny,

1518
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,159
all right, listen. Uh. We had a brand new sound

1519
01:28:59,199 --> 01:29:04,960

Gold video audio that Jeff Jarrett recorded many years ago.

01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:25,560
You can hear it at the beginning of the SoundOff.

1525
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,560

1526
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:33,359
