WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.240 Readings, readings, Reetings, readings, greetings. Hello. I'm here a little 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.879 later than I wanted to go, but mister Exterminator was here. 3 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.480 We had him back. Why did we have to have 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.880 him back? Because those little ass holes were back today. 5 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.679 So I think it's all taken care of now. I 6 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.399 don't know. All I know is that for the first 7 00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.359 time today I actually saw the little tiny hole where 8 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:29.199 they are crawling through, so like imagine a bee crawling 9 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.719 through a hole that's even smaller than the size of 10 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.759 a dime. I managed to find where the hole was. 11 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.240 Hopefully that will begin the journey away from all this stuff. 12 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:39.840 But I'll let you guys know. But we are here. 13 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.600 It is Wednesday night. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank 14 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.039 you for bearing with me. This was the post Forbidden 15 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.399 Door episode of Dynamite here. This was actually the beginning 16 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.039 of their residency at the twenty three hundred Arena, the 17 00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.640 former ECW Arena. They're going to be in Philadelphia here 18 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.000 for the next two weeks. I will be in Philadelphia 19 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.399 myself next week as well, and as far as this 20 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:08.200 show tonight, they set the stage for several matches coming up. 21 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.640 It all out only one of which is officially announced 22 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:13.719 at this point, but you could see the formation of 23 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.799 certain directions that they're going in here, including in the 24 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.680 main event. Tonight, they had a very ecwesque false count 25 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.359 Anywhere match between Darby Allen and Claudio Castignoli, because the 26 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.920 story here, the key story, is that Darby Allen is 27 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.599 still trying to get a match with John Boxley, and 28 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.040 John Moxley is saying no, he doesn't want to give 29 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.959 Darby what he wants. He doesn't want this match with 30 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.599 Darby Allen, and so tonight Darby had to go through Claudia, 31 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.920 which he did, and then Gabe Kid came out and 32 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.799 attacked Darby, and Darby the Babyface ran away, he fled, 33 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.560 he ran out of the building, and evidently all of 34 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.319 Darby's friends from the Lights Out Steel Cage match only 35 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.760 a few days ago at Forbidden Door, apparently that's where 36 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.200 their friendship starts and stuff, they didn't think enough to 37 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.079 come out here and help pour Darby in his time 38 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.760 of need tonight. So Darby was very fleet a foot 39 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.919 and he left the arena. But obviously we're going to 40 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.400 end up getting Darby Allen and John Moxley. He will 41 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.159 probably have to go through Gabe Kid and if he 42 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.280 has to go through Wheeler Dah, I mean, he could 43 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.400 do that in his sleep, and then at that point 44 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.520 we'll get the match. So they're slowly building to that 45 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.719 Hangman page and what I was interested in here what 46 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.879 direction are they going to go in with Hangman, because 47 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.479 do you go immediately into a rematch with MJF for 48 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.680 the AW World Championship, you could. I thought that's what 49 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.319 they would do, just because I wasn't sure who else 50 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.319 they would have lined up. And after tonight the direction 51 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.400 seems to be we're going to put off the eventual 52 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.280 match between Hangman and MJF, the inevitable rematch, and go 53 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.960 in a different direction with both men. With MJF, they 54 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.439 are picking up with the Mark Briscoe feud, Mark Briscoe being, 55 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.560 of course, someone who can take credit for MJF failing 56 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.280 to win the championship on Sunday, so they're going to 57 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.360 go off in that direction. Meanwhile, Hangman Page tonight was 58 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.479 interrupted by Don Kallis, who pretty much manages I would 59 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.120 say seventy five percent of the fucking roster at this point, 60 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.199 at least as far as heals on the men's side. 61 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.240 So take your pick. As far as who's going to 62 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.560 be lined up next to challenge for that title, my 63 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.039 guess would be Kenoski Takeshta, But whoever it's going to be, 64 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.919 we saw Kenny Omega and Hangman Page out there tonight. 65 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.560 They were side by side fighting off the Kallus family, 66 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.240 so that seems to be the direction as far as 67 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.120 the World Championship is concerned. The Hurt Syndicate screwed out 68 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.080 of their tag team titles at Forbidden Door by Ricochet 69 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.159 and the Gates of Agony. They are going off in 70 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.960 a direction on their own. And then we have the 71 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:52.360 official announcement tonight that in Toronto at All Out it 72 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.240 will be Cope and Christian taking on FTR. That is 73 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.240 the first and so far only match made official for 74 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.560 All Out. So when you take that all together, they 75 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.319 were able to forward a lot of stories here going 76 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.199 into the next pay per view, which is good. They 77 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.520 didn't do anything earth shattering on the show. In many ways, 78 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.039 this show was defined by the building that they were 79 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.920 in tonight, and it was a very different atmosphere. You know, 80 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.040 AW runs a lot of smaller intimate venues, none smaller 81 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:26.199 than this one so far, so that was kind of 82 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.680 the theme of the show. And then again they tapped 83 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.720 into some of that old ECW spirit that Tony Kahn 84 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.680 loves because he was a big ECW fan back in 85 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.800 the day. He said it himself, Tonight was the first 86 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.600 time that he was back inside that building since nineteen 87 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.600 ninety six, so he was very excited. He was marking out, 88 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.759 he was geeking out to be back in that building tonight. 89 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.879 So he was able to kind of tap into that 90 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.920 there in the closing match. What they should have done 91 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.519 on this show tonight, and they did not do. They 92 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.120 did not do anything to in any way, shape or 93 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.879 form re establish Wardlow, the man who was gone for 94 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.360 eighteen months, made his return on Sunday at Forbidden Door 95 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.399 as a member of the Callus family, and I said, 96 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.800 the one thing they have to try to avoid is 97 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.439 him falling in line with everybody else and becoming background 98 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.480 noise in that group. Because you have ten plus members 99 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.120 of the Don Kallis family. Some of them are out 100 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.560 injured right now, like Brian Cage and Trent Burretta and 101 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.000 Mark Davis, but you have almost a dozen members in 102 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.120 this faction and now you've added another member in Wardlow. 103 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.800 The key is he's been gone for so long, you 104 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.639 have to give people a reason again to care about him. 105 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.199 So I was expecting at least we would get some 106 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.240 sort of explanation, we would get maybe some words from Wardlow. 107 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.680 We got nothing from Wardlow. He stood there in the background, 108 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.000 exactly in the role that I feared he would be in, 109 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.680 because if he was going to speak, there was gonna 110 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.800 be some explanation. This would have been the show to 111 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.959 give it. They didn't do it. That's a bad omen 112 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.279 for him going forward. And as far as the women 113 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.519 are concerned, the women's champions Tony Storm and Mercedes Monette. 114 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.759 Not a lot of movement on either front with those 115 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.319 two championships tonight on the show. But on the whole, 116 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.639 I did think it was a solid episode of Dynamite. 117 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.120 I did think it was a solid show, you know, 118 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.160 not their best show of the year or anything like that, 119 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.040 but Tony Kahan tends to not do that anyway, coming 120 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.879 out of these pay per views. You know, there used 121 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.600 to be a time in wrestling where it was like 122 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.560 the raw after a major pay per view or you know, 123 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.319 a major event, and something big would happen or would 124 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.959 be like a big night It's never been that way 125 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.480 with AW and Tony. I don't know what it is 126 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.439 with Tony becoming out of these pay per views more 127 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.600 often than not either. The shows are just a pretty 128 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.600 average episode of Dynamite, and sometimes they're even worse than average. 129 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.839 So you know, it wasn't anything that people are going 130 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.959 to remember in a few weeks. But I do think 131 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.079 they set things up in motion for the next show, 132 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.800 did what they had to do, made a few faux 133 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.279 paus along the way, and we'll talk about what those are. 134 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.439 But this is your AW Dynamite review, your Dynamite Philly review. 135 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.319 It is Wednesday, August twenty seventh, your final Dynamite review 136 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.000 for the month of August twenty twenty five. I want 137 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.519 to point out something else here during the show tonight. 138 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:26.959 I actually wanted it to go up a little bit earlier, 139 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.560 but because of my little issue here with our little 140 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.439 flying friends, I had some other business to tend to, 141 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.120 so you may not have been aware of it. But 142 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.120 on the channel right now is a video I've been 143 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.439 meaning to get this up all week, dedicated to this 144 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:47.720 whole Rajah Jackson situation with Psycho stew from Knox Pro 145 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.839 been talked about all week There's been so much information 146 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:53.920 out there, it's almost like it changes by the day, 147 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.720 and there were so many different video clip surfacing, and 148 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.079 there's just a lot of moving parts to this story 149 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.680 that I'm almost glad that if it was going to happen, 150 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.519 it happened immediately after I dropped the show this weekend, 151 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.480 because it gave me a little more time to just 152 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:14.120 sort of gather everything up. And certainly, certainly there have 153 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.040 been a number of people who have also made some 154 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.040 very stupid comments in the last few days. There's a 155 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:22.160 twenty five minute video up right now on the channel. 156 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:23.600 You could check it out as soon as we're done 157 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.720 here tonight, talking about this entire situation, the absurdity of it. 158 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.240 One of the most disgusting things that I have ever 159 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:34.879 seen inside of a wrestling ring. So please go ahead 160 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.559 and check that out if you have not already done 161 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.279 so when you are done here. So I know people 162 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.480 have been asking about that. It was just the timing 163 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.480 of it. I wasn't able to get something up earlier, 164 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.440 but I'm actually glad that it worked out this way. 165 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.919 Ex Caliber Taz, who was not overseas at Forbidden Door 166 00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.759 with his knee replacement. Traveling that far is not good 167 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.399 for him, so he didn't make the paper, but he 168 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.679 was back tonight in Philly. How appropriate. They were joined 169 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.080 by not Tony Shavani, but by ian Rick Abonni. They 170 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.200 opened the show and welcomed us to the twenty three 171 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.120 hundred arena. They pitched it to some video of what 172 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:14.759 happened at the end of the pay per view on 173 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.120 Sunday after the main event was over, when the death 174 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:23.440 Riders all the heels mauled Will Osprey, wrapped the chair 175 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.960 around his neck, left him for dead right there in 176 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.879 the middle of London. So we got some highlights of that. 177 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.879 Ex Caliber said. They understand that Osprey was still being 178 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.919 held for observation, and in the middle of all this 179 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.039 he gets cut off by ftr's music. They walk out 180 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.720 with Stokely Hathaway. Cash Wheeler got right up in a 181 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.440 fan's face in the aisleway, and this fan was not 182 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.720 backing down. Their faces were like this, They were just 183 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.240 mere inches from each other. This guy was wearing his 184 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.360 FedEx work shirt like he had just finished his shift 185 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.039 and gone straight to the show. And so this guy 186 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.840 in his FedEx shirt is cussing out Cas Wheeler on 187 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.200 television on live television here. I don't know if that's 188 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.080 a smart move or not, but he was certainly very 189 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.519 passionate about something. Now, as far as the venue is concerned, 190 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:14.960 more like I said, more intimate than most of the 191 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.559 smaller venues that they've been running. A lot of the 192 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:21.639 venues they've run that Music Hall at Cincinnati, for example, 193 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.279 those are thousand seat venues, eleven hundred seat venues, fifteen 194 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.679 hundred seat venues. I think they were sold out tonight. 195 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.120 They didn't even have a thousand, so that just shows 196 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:36.519 you it's a smaller venue. I like the lighting. I 197 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.879 don't like the acoustics so much, but I like it overall. 198 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.279 It gives the show a different vibe. I know a 199 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.440 lot of people hate on it. They think it looks amateur. 200 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.759 They don't like it, they think it sucks. And it's 201 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.360 not the old ECW arena. It's been renovated since then. 202 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.320 So like if you were a fan of the old 203 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.840 DCW Arena, if you were there, it's not exactly the 204 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.440 same experience, but it just as a certain vibe to 205 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.960 it that I like. I said the same thing when 206 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.000 nxt ran there. Nxt ran this very same building. In 207 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.200 November of last year, they did their own little ECW 208 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.360 tribute show, which was actually a very lame, very boring show. 209 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:18.159 This show was better than that show. But I remember 210 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.279 commenting on the venue and that was one of the 211 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.279 things about the show that I liked. And you know 212 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.480 what's the lighting. Everyone's all packed in. The lighting is 213 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.679 probably better, honestly on this show than a lot of 214 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.960 other Dynamites, at least when they ran the bigger buildings, 215 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:37.039 they would intentionally darken it for obvious reasons. But I 216 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.440 like it. It reminds me in a way of when 217 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:42.240 WW we would run those old shot done Saturday night 218 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:46.440 shows at different venues in Manhattan. I always like that. 219 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.440 So I don't know, I dug the vibe. If you 220 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.639 didn't cool, but I liked It's only two weeks. If 221 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.440 you don't like it, they'll be out of there in 222 00:11:55.480 --> 00:12:00.120 two weeks, you'll live, You'll survive. So Dak's got in 223 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.879 the ring and he was struggling to talk over all 224 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:07.039 the booze. It also didn't help that his microphone wasn't 225 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.720 working and they were trying to tell him that it were. 226 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.039 He's like, I don't think it's working. They're like, no, no, 227 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.600 it's working. So they got it working. He called what 228 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.879 happened to Forbidden Door a miscarriage of justice, claimed the 229 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.960 illegal man was the one who pinned him on Sunday, 230 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.879 and he asked referee Paul Turner to come over here. 231 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.080 Paul Turner walks over. He wants to have a chat 232 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.360 with him, and he asked how long have you been 233 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.320 a referee for and Paul Turner says twenty seven years, 234 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.320 and Dax called out Turner's wife, Oh, your wife is 235 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.200 here in the audience, and he asked him, imagine going 236 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.320 home to your family, to your wife and saying that 237 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.240 you failed because of an incompetent moron. He told Turner 238 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.840 that it would be the worst thing in his life 239 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.159 and that's what he had to do to his family. 240 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.440 And he demanded that Turner apologize and then reverse the 241 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:05.080 decision and make them the aw Tag Team champions. So 242 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.440 Turner said, my decision stands, and stokely accused him of 243 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.720 being incompetent and wanting to appease the online fans. He 244 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:17.080 demanded that Turner jump off the fans dis and reverse 245 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.440 the decision. They all got up in his face Adam 246 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.080 Copeland makes his entrance. He comes out, he looks behind 247 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.639 him like he's waiting for someone. He's expecting Christian to 248 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.840 be behind him, and he's like, where are you man, 249 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:34.360 He's not here. But it was a ploy because in 250 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:38.000 the ring, Christian snuck up behind Stokely. He gave him 251 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.799 an un prettier. A brawl broke out. Officials poured out 252 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.440 to try to separate them. Eventually things got broken up. 253 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.440 Christian grabs a microphone. So Cope and Christian are in 254 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.759 the ring, FTR and Stokely are in the aisleway, and 255 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.679 Christian says, at forbidden door, they took care of his problem, 256 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.000 and so now it's time to take care of Adams problem. 257 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.919 Said Dax, I understand you have a father. He said Cash, 258 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:11.240 I understand you have a father too. And the fans 259 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.960 knew what was coming. Copeland did too, so he swiped 260 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.919 the microphone out of Christian's hand and he said no, no, no, no, no, 261 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.519 no no no. But then he said, all right for 262 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.240 the sick ohs, and he hands the microphone back to Christian, 263 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:29.120 who told Wheeler and that bitch is dead. So Wheeler 264 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.960 tried to make a b line for the ring. He 265 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:36.279 had to be held back. I said, b line, can't 266 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.320 get that off my brain. Copeland announced that it's set 267 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:44.279 in stone Tony Kahn has made it official September twentieth, 268 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:48.200 all Out in their hometown of Toronto, C and C 269 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.720 Music Factory now C and C against FTR. The match 270 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.200 is official for the pay per view and Copeland says 271 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:01.480 he will take his pound of flesh. So a very 272 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.240 predictable announcement. We knew this was coming. No surprise there, 273 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:08.759 and we'll see what happens. As far as the Tag 274 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.559 Team Championships are concerned, they certainly didn't give any indication 275 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.480 that the titles are going to be involved here. They're 276 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.679 going to add you know, Brody King and Bandido, there 277 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.720 was no indication of that. It doesn't mean they won't, 278 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.639 but there was no indication of that. So it looks 279 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.159 like it's going to be a straight tag team match 280 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.759 Cope and Christian against FTR, and should be a very 281 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:29.879 good match. Again, it felt to me like the match 282 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.879 against Kip Savian and kill Switch, who were not on 283 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.879 the show tonight, that that match on Sunday was more 284 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.320 of an appetizer, you know, to the main course, which 285 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.279 is coming in Toronto. They weren't going to do too 286 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.679 much on Sunday and they're saving most of their shit 287 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.320 for the next show. Should be a good match now. 288 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.919 Before tonight's main event, Darby Allen had a video package 289 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:57.360 apologizing for those who wish that he died on Mount Everest, 290 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.320 but he's still here, ready to take everything from John Moxley. 291 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:04.120 And it wasn't about the aw World title. It's not 292 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.120 just about that. Says he's going to take John Moxley's career. 293 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.039 He's going to destroy the death Riders, and he talked 294 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.720 about seeing the bodies as he climbed the mountain. Told 295 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.799 Moxley not to step foot in the ring with him 296 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:20.080 unless he is willing to die at all out he's 297 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.159 taking everything from Moxley. And in the video, Darby had 298 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:29.639 written the bandage off of his mutilated ear from Forbidden 299 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.559 Door when Moxley was jabbing it with a fork and 300 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.960 he stuck the fork through the hole in the ear 301 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.159 lobe and he was twisting it in all kinds of 302 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.919 sick shit. So he pulled the bandage off and he 303 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:47.320 was painting this wall with his own blood, and then 304 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:50.080 it went up in flames. He's a very odd bird 305 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.879 that Darby Allen is. I know this is news to you. 306 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.440 He's a very strange fellow. We had John Moxley against 307 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.880 Daniel go Garcia, Oh Joy, John Moxley and Daniel Garcia. 308 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.799 Moxley was in the driver's seat. He was biting at 309 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.000 Garcia's forehead at one point while he was in a 310 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.160 tree of woe. Moxley joined him in the corner started 311 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.720 slapping Garcia, which only woke him up, and he bit 312 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:25.160 Moxley in the leg. Was he a dog bit him 313 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:29.839 on the leg before delivering a superplex. They traded pen attempts. 314 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.480 Moxley exploded out with a cutter. Garcia, though held onto 315 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.599 the top rope to avoid a paradigm shift, sank in 316 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.079 a half crab. Moxley made the ropes. He went back outside. 317 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:43.960 He got a DDT on top of the ring steps. Garcia, though, 318 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.480 just made the count back into the ring at the 319 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.119 count of nine, so he sidestepped a curb stomp. Garcia 320 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.839 applied a dragon tamer. Moxley got out with a bulldog 321 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:58.079 choke attempt and Garcia rolled through. He hit a pile 322 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.359 of driver, but Moxley kicked out, so each man traded 323 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.480 some inside cradles, and in the end Moxley was able 324 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.039 to squeak out the flash pin to win it. A 325 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.519 flash pin ends this match here now. When the match 326 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.759 was over, Moxley handed the microphone to, of all people, 327 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.400 Wheeler dah. Now, it's going to be a bad night now, 328 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.000 So he gives the microphone to Wheeler Youda, who addresses 329 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.960 Darby Allen and he says that the answer is no. 330 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.079 While this was happening, Moxley is on the outside of 331 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:32.319 the ring right there, right in front of the front 332 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.559 row there, and they're outside and he's trying to whisper 333 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.119 something in Garcia's ear. Either that or he's trying to 334 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.000 make out with him. I don't know what's going on here. Garcia, though, 335 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.839 was having none of it. Moxley and Marina Shaffir they 336 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:51.240 left you stared down Garcia, who was upset about the loss. 337 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.839 He threw a chair at the ring post shoved the 338 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:57.160 camera out of his face as he left. So Garcia 339 00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.039 has been racking up some losses. You know. He was 340 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.319 in the four Way a few weeks ago trying to 341 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:05.799 become number one contender for the IWGP title. He lost right. 342 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:09.160 Nigel McGinnis got the shot at Forbidden Door tonight, he 343 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.119 wrestles Jean Moxley and loses on a fluke because it 344 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.119 wasn't a decisive win, but he loses again, so you 345 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:20.279 could see the frustration is mounting in Daniel Garcia. I 346 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.440 was expecting a heel turn on Sunday. We didn't get it. 347 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.359 I'm still expecting one. It's like a powder keg waiting 348 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:31.039 to explode. Who's he gonna turn on? I don't know. 349 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.119 I don't know. Nigel's back at commentary, so it might 350 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.920 not be him. But also here in this segment, here 351 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.119 it looked like Moxley was trying to make the pitch 352 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.559 for Garcia to join the Death Riders, which would be 353 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.599 just fucking terrible. And it would be terrible because if 354 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.319 they are adding new members potentially, all that does is 355 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.160 it prolongs the life of the Death Riders. We don't 356 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.440 need to be prolonging their life. We need to be 357 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.640 speeding up the demise. It's been long enough. So I 358 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.440 don't like the idea potentially adding new members. I want 359 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.440 to start peeling members off. So no, I do not 360 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:12.200 want to see Daniel Garcia joining the death riders, because 361 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.920 that's not going to be good for anybody. And Moxley 362 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.960 again rejects Darby's challenge, this time for all out. So 363 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:22.839 we'll wait to see what Darby's going to have to 364 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.759 do to convince this man to say yes to his challenge. 365 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:29.960 We come back from break and it was my absolute 366 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.200 worst nightmare. Actually, I take that back, it was my 367 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:36.680 second worst nightmare. My worst nightmare is what I encountered 368 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.839 earlier today when I walked downstairs into my living room 369 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.160 and I found by my count, and I may have miscounted, 370 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.319 there may have been more, but by my count, sixteen 371 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:51.960 yellowjackets flying around my living room, flying over my head. 372 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.240 That's a nightmare. But the second biggest nightmare is them 373 00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:59.839 coming back from commercial break and Wheeler Uda is still 374 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:06.079 out there, and he's got the fucking microphone. Why why 375 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.440 is he still out here? Why does he have a 376 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:12.880 microphone in his hand? Well, let's find out. He says 377 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:16.160 that he's got a lot left to say, unfortunately, says 378 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.559 that he used to live in this city and he 379 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:24.880 worked the ring crew in this building as a teenager. Yes, 380 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:35.279 sixteen sixteen yellowjackets indoors, very angry, very pissed off, moving 381 00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.839 around so fast that you could literally hear their bodies 382 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.200 smacking the light and smacking the window and smacking the ceiling. 383 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.480 Oh yeah, they were mad as hell. I think they 384 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.319 know that I tried to kill them the other day. 385 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.400 So I think what they did was they called all 386 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.039 their little yellowjacket friends, and so they all kind of 387 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.359 ganged up on me today. I don't know how I 388 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.880 didn't get stung. That's okay, though I think word spreads 389 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:05.319 were travels. They were not very happy with me. So 390 00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:09.000 Da says, again, he's got experience in this venue here 391 00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:10.759 because he used to work on the ring crew when 392 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:14.119 he was a teenager. He brought up will Ostbury being 393 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.200 taken out on a stretcher at Forbidden Door, Chuck Taylor's 394 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.000 career ending, and he brought up Brian Danielson's career ending 395 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.240 as well, which he took credit for. And then the 396 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:28.279 lights went out, and I genuinely did not know what 397 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.079 was about to have. I had no idea. Maybe the 398 00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.920 earth was going to open up and swallow Wheeler. I 399 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:39.039 don't know. The lights go out and they flash the 400 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:43.400 hook signal, so it's hook. They've been playing these little 401 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.559
