WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:04.799 Another show, Tonight that went into a thirty five minute 2 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.400 overrun less than two weeks out from All In, My God. 3 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.720 We had a pair of trios matches on this show. 4 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.160 One opened the show, one closed the show. Both of 5 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.320 them had the don Kallis family. So if you're a 6 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.559 fan of the don Kallis family, boy, I mean, if 7 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.359 you're a fan of the don Kallis family, they're all 8 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.760 over the show every week. But you got them at 9 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.920 the beginning, you got them at the end. The big 10 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.920 angle of the end though the matches don't even matter. 11 00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.600 The two trios matches we had tonight don't mean shit. 12 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.560 The only important thing that happened here at the end 13 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.920 it came after the match and it involved Kenny Omega 14 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.799 and Will Osprey, who had a face to face sit 15 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.000 down interview earlier in the show conducted by Renee that 16 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.320 I actually thought was very good, although that was the 17 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.000 high point of the show, strongest interaction that these two 18 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.000 have had in all the weeks coming out of Redemption, 19 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.920 in the build up here to All In. The one 20 00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.799 thing that they really solidified here at the end of 21 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.400 the show was heel Kenny Omega, So they were kind 22 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.799 of teasing it the way that Omega's been acting of late, 23 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.239 but they really made it very clear who the babyface 24 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.000 is supposed to be here and who the heel is 25 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.680 supposed to be going into Wembley Stadium. It ended with 26 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.680 Kenny Omega taking a cheap shot at Will as he 27 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.560 was being held by a couple of security guards and 28 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.120 then dumping him through a table outside the ring with 29 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.280 a one winged angel, and then Kenny got the crazy 30 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.159 eyes as he was sitting there, and that's how they 31 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.400 closed the show. So I guess the idea, at least 32 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.400 in part, is that the championship is as it did 33 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.439 many years ago, once again corrupting this man. This is 34 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.079 a different kind of Kenny Omega that we're not used 35 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.040 to seeing. He's the champion now, he thinks his shit, 36 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:50.519 don't stink. He's the guy Will Osprey, He's not shit. 37 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.040 That's basically the gist of it here going into this show, 38 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.640 and so it was important, I guess, to kind of 39 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.000 drive that point home. But also the other thing they 40 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.359 did here because that trios match had Kenny Omega and 41 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.640 the young Bucks, it was the elite taking on members 42 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.599 of the Kallus family. And so when the match was over, 43 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.759 more members of the Kallus family came out and we 44 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.080 had this big, wild brawl. Adam Copeland came out, Christian 45 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.400 Cage came out, and we saw an errant shot, an 46 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.759 errant superkick to Christian. This was important because, honestly, of 47 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.680 all the key matches that have been built up for 48 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.599 this pay per view, which again is only about ten 49 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.719 or eleven days away now, this one seems to kind 50 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.240 of be falling under the radar, and I feel like 51 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.520 this match should be. It should feel like a much 52 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.840 bigger deal than it is first ever, you know, edging 53 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.960 Christian against the Young Bucks. It's kind of been lost 54 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.240 in all the noise I think of the Omega Osprey 55 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.360 stuff and Willow and Mercedes and the Continental Cup stuff. 56 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.240 So it was important, I think, to get those guys 57 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.680 out there, even if it was just a quick run 58 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.199 in there at the end of the show. But that's 59 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.319 how they went off the air. And we also, I said, 60 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.240 we had a pair of interviews. It wasn't just Kenny 61 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.080 and will who had their sit down. We had a 62 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.479 split screen interview earlier in the show between Mercedes Monette, 63 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.719 Will o'nightingale. They're having their Women's World Championship match at all. 64 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:17.000 In again, I enjoyed that segment two so again that 65 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.240 one wasn't really face to face per se, but those 66 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.520 two segments I thought were very effective in terms of 67 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.599 the two world title matches that are coming up on 68 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.159 the pay per view. We also had a pair of 69 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.039 quarterfinal matches in the Continental Cup, one of which surprised 70 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.120 the fuck out of me when they first announced it 71 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.120 in their little YouTube special on Monday night, because I 72 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.960 was thinking, this has got to be the final. This 73 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.439 is a tailor made to be the final of the 74 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.919 tournament here between John Moxley and Jay White, and then 75 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.199 they announced it for tonight, and I was really hoping 76 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.599 that we would get the first real upset of this 77 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.919 tournament and that Jay White would pull it out against Moxley, 78 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.000 something that nobody else has been able to do because 79 00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.919 Moxley has basically been untouchable this entire year. Beat Moxley, 80 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.000 which would make him I guess, would make him the champion. 81 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.319 I mean, effectively is that title on the line every 82 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.439 single match he has in this tournament? I guess it is. 83 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.199 And John Moxley, they could always have him enter the 84 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.560 gauntlet and he could win the contract, because we all 85 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.000 know coming out of this pay per view, whether it's 86 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.800 it all out or sometime after that, we know what 87 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.560 the direction is. The direction has got to be Osprey 88 00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:27.360 and Moxley for the championship again. Osprey still has to 89 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.800 get that win back from earlier in the year, so 90 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:32.600 I was hoping maybe they would go in that direction. 91 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.800 They went the predictable route, another John Moxley win, surprise, surprise, 92 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.319 although they had a very good match. The other match 93 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.319 was Nigel McGinnis who suffered an injury and we'll get 94 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.839 into exactly what happened there, but he suffered an injury 95 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.439 in his match on Collision. He had a match in 96 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.360 the tournament here tonight against hetch Sero and Nigel is 97 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.399 also moving on to the semi final round. Also on 98 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.360 the show, Kevin Knight, he blew up Darby Allen. He 99 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.959 exploded him. Good. How many people did we see Darby 100 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.720 Allen blow up with various explosive devices give him a 101 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.279 little taste of his own medicine tonight. So now I 102 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.959 don't know if the false count anywhere match is going 103 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.720 to be happening or not. Gee, I guess we'll have 104 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.639 to wait until next week and find out. But Indestructible Darby, 105 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.279 I'm sure we'll find a way to make it to Wembley. 106 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.480 And we had a TVs Championship four way match, Maya 107 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.920 World putting her title on the line against Chris stat Lander, 108 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.279 Hikarushida and Persephone. So those were the key points on 109 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.199 the show tonight. There was a lot going on. They 110 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.920 went way over time. I'm not going to We're going 111 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.480 to try to zip through this as economically as we can. 112 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.000 This is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday night. 113 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.240 It is August nineteenth, twenty twenty six. For those of 114 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.000 you who are with me, I thank you. I know 115 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.319 that Wednesdays is usually the softer night when it comes 116 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.319 to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but we do the best 117 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.800 we can with that, like can subscribe, going to bring 118 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.319 the faithful wheel up here. Oh, by the way, I 119 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.240 wanted to say thank you. Want to give a shout 120 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.759 out to Noah who may be with us in the chat. 121 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.600 I believe Noah was at the not Noah the mark 122 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.600 if you know you know, but Noah was in the 123 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.160 crowd tonight. He was at the show, and he was 124 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.759 able to get a sound off sign. He brought a 125 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.240 sound off sign with him and he got it on 126 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.240 camera in the closing moments of the show, actually off 127 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.879 in the background behind Kenny Omega there. So shout out 128 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.959 to Noah for representing the podcast. Brother, I appreciate that 129 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.879 very much. It's been this bad boy here. So we 130 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:42.120 can get into this. Shout out to Sarah Sarah bonus 131 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.199 goal only. Okay, well that means no be the booker tonight. 132 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.959 That's what that means. But you already knew that. Let's 133 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.439 get into this here. First of two trios matches that 134 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.319 we had, we had, of course the aforementioned Don Kallis family. 135 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.439 In this case it was Brian Cage, Lance Archer and 136 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:02.920 Rocky Romero. He always successful Lance Archer at Rocky Romero 137 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.360 taking on the United Empire. So it was will ospray 138 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.600 Hanare and Francesco Akira, who we never see on Dynamite 139 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.800 maybe one time. I think they had a match on 140 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.800 Dynamite here this year. So I saw this match. I'm like, eh, 141 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.319 very blah. Match broke down at the end Osprey he 142 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.879 spiked Cage with a poison Rona. Romero tried to slice bread. 143 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.360 He ended up eating a double team cutter though from 144 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.120 Osprey and Akira Akira and Hanare. They hit stereo dives 145 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.879 outside the ring and that left Rocky Romero all by 146 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.600 his lonesome in the ring to eat a hidden blade 147 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.399 that gave the win to Team Osprey. Decent opener. You know, 148 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.680 we got some good action here, but the whole point 149 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.439 was just to put a spotlight on the challenger at 150 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.360 all In, with the champion getting his own trios match. 151 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:57.759 Later on in the show, Rene was backstage with Kazuchka 152 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.639 Okada trying to get his on the International title. Three 153 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.040 way coming up at all In with himself, Kyle Fletcher, 154 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:08.040 and Kenoski Takeshta. Okata said nothing is more important than family, 155 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.439 unlike Takeshta, who left the family because he's selfish. That's right, 156 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.560 He's a selfish prick. So he said the Fletcher won't 157 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:17.759 make the same mistake that Takeshta did. He would be 158 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.120 happy for Kyle to retain the International title because that 159 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.240 would mean the title would remain in the family, but 160 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.600 if he wins, If he wins, Okata wins, he expects 161 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.600 Kyle to be happy for him and to raise his 162 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.639 hand in the middle of the ring. So after this 163 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.600 we cut to the arena alive and Tony Schavanni is 164 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.279 in the ring to introduce the International Champion, the Protos 165 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.759 star Kyle Fletcher, who made his way out to the 166 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.159 ring all by himself. Shockingly, we did not have any 167 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.200 other members of the Kallis family. I guess they were 168 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.799 getting ready for their second trios match later in the night. 169 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.360 Shavanni asked him about the possibility of raising Ocata's hand 170 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.039 at all in, and Fletcher said, look, he was in 171 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.679 the middle of the greatest International championionship run of all 172 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.799 time and he sees no reason that it needs to 173 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.840 end at all in. He owes Don Kallis a lot. 174 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.039 He trusts Don Kallas and this is his plan, and 175 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.399 Fletcher was willing to follow that plan, but he told 176 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.440 Okada he needs to know his role and then he 177 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.639 popped the people's elbow after this, he needs to know 178 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.840 his role in this entire thing, which is to be 179 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.960 his family and help him retain his championship. So then 180 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.759 he turned to Takeshta and he said that he hated 181 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.879 his guts and he mocked him for losing the g 182 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.559 one climax. Yeah, he got bounced. Takeshta won the g 183 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.399 One last year, but he got bounced. He didn't even 184 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.159 make it to the finals this year. I did. I 185 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.120 know we're taking a little sidebar here, but I did 186 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.200 see the finals of the G One. I had when 187 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.840 I did the SoundOff on Sunday. I hadn't had a 188 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.080 chance to watch the entire match yet. But with Oiwa 189 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.320 and Ui Mura, those of you who follow New Japan 190 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.039 and know who they are, they had a fucking awesome 191 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.200 match in the finals, a match that ended, by the way, 192 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.360 with a headlock, which I know, if you're just hearing 193 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.399 that like that sounds completely preposterous, but they made it work. 194 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.120 So good on them. That's one of the best matches 195 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.159 I've seen all year. But yes, Takesha, he failed in 196 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.960 the G One and that brought out Ta Keshta. This 197 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.600 is the first time we've seen him here on the 198 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.639 show since July, right, it's been many weeks back on 199 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.720 American Soil. He came to the ring, a brawl ensued 200 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.279 between these two men. Fletcher hit a half and half, 201 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.240 Takesha came right back with the Blue Thunderbomb and then 202 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.879 a poison RNA, and then as Fletcher was, it was 203 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:42.000 like the Mortal Kombat thing where somebody is somebody is 204 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.679 about to take a fatality, right, and they're like going 205 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.120 like this right. That was him basically on his knees. 206 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.639 He was waiting for the fatality, and the fatality was 207 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:55.720 the power drive knee. He took a raging fire and 208 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.960 then Okada never came out to help. Okada never showed 209 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.519 his face here. He left Kyle out there to die. 210 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.080 Ex Caliber at this point at the end of this 211 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.039 and by the way, that that is one of the 212 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.399 matches I am very much looking forward to on that show. 213 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:14.679 That match is gonna be fucking awesome. The match that 214 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.279 we had a double or nothing between Okada and Takesha 215 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.600 is one of my number one favorite matches of the year. Fletcher. 216 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.200 He's had a lot of great matches himself this year, 217 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.240 including one just a few weeks ago at Speedball. So 218 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.000 you put all three of them in the ring together, 219 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.840 that's gonna be a lot of fun. Now, ex Caliber, 220 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.799 he was trying to run down he was attempting to 221 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.399 run down all of the remaining matches here that were 222 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.159 on this show, but he sounded like a fucking cyborg 223 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.639 I'm gonna do my my best. Let me see if 224 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:59.879 I could do my best. Question another. I don't know 225 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.480 what was going on. I saw people who were watching 226 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.240 on HBO Max like I was, people who were not watching. 227 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.440 They were watching on the TBS. I think it was 228 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:13.559 just universal. I saw multiple complaints about the audio here, 229 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.879 so he sounded like a cyborg. They went to commercial. 230 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.159 When they came back, we were taken to an earlier 231 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.919 sit down interview at a table in a darkened room, 232 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.360 Rene Piquette with the two men in the main event 233 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.720 at Wembley Stadium, Kenny Omega and will Ospray. And at 234 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.559 this point we had no audio at all, and I said, 235 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.600 oh boy, they better fix this shit, because this is 236 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.840 I was looking forward to this. Thankfully. Before she was 237 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:45.080 done speaking and before Osprey started speaking, the audio was restored. 238 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.840 Osprey said he looked up to Omega. Omega said that 239 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.000 he likes to keep his finger on the pulse, understanding 240 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.600 who the flavors of the month are, the internet darlings. 241 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.480 So he was also very excited but not blown away 242 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.320 by Osprey. The first time he saw he could see 243 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:07.120 the potential. It's a little backhanded compliment there from Omega, I, suh, 244 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.039 I should do the robo voice for the whole show, 245 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:15.799 and I don't think people would like that very much. Yeah, 246 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:17.879 I think that would get old after about I don't know, 247 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:22.080 eight seconds. Maybe Cyborg Solo. We may dust off Cyborg 248 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:27.000 Solo every now and then. I'm not opposed to bringing 249 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:37.320 him outorgs Well, that's let's the voice, stupid. You see 250 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.960 what I did, you guys, it's something what you want 251 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:47.039 that sounds positively awful. So let's not do that again. 252 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.600 So Renee, she wants to know when, uh, when Kenny 253 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.519 saw Will in a different light? Right? Because Will Will 254 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.759 did not impress him at first, So when did he 255 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.720 first start to impress Kenny Omega? Kenny says, it goes 256 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.919 back to Wrestle Kingdom seventeen. He came back to see 257 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.279 if Osprey could fill his shoes. Unfortunately, Osprey was not 258 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.879 able to prove to him that he could put New 259 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.120 Japan on his back. He said New Japan needed to 260 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:17.279 sell tickets and Osprey's name alone wasn't gonna do that. 261 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:21.679 His name does, so, Osprey says, with all due respect, 262 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.200 Kenny walked into a very plush situation. Osprey had it 263 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:29.000 very different. Kenny built his name off the backs of 264 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:34.440 people like Okada in Tanahashi, and he she Osprey had 265 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.600 to do it the hard way. Kenny made three hour trips. 266 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.840 He had to make fifteen hour flights. He was put 267 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.399 up in a hotel no bigger than a broom closet. 268 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.120 Omega was fine playing to the aw Marx around Ringsay 269 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.840 while half the New Japan roster was starving during COVID, 270 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.519 So don't give him that attendance bullshit, Omega said. Osprey 271 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.960 makes it sound like his situation was so unique. But 272 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.799 if New Japan actually had fans in the would they 273 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:06.120 have been that loud for Osprey. Rene mentions Osprey joining 274 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.120 the don Kallis family, and Omega said callous promised him 275 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:15.720 gold success, AW gold, TNA gold, IWGP gold until he 276 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.559 finally saw what it was worth. It was a cautionary 277 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.799 tale for guys like Osprey who didn't have to make 278 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:24.879 the same mistakes that Omega did. But Osprey couldn't help himself. 279 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.879 Osprey said that Omega embarrassed him. He came into New Japan. 280 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.879 He was tearing apart his life in front of so 281 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.759 many people that he loved, and he still has the 282 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.200 scars on his head to show for it. Omega asked, 283 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.440 how is this different from when Osprey came into his home, 284 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:48.360 his home country, and Osprey said Omega deserved it. Omega 285 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.960 didn't use Don Callus in the Tokyo Dome, but Osprey 286 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.840 used Callous in their forbidden doormatch, and Osprey acknowledges that, 287 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:56.720 and he says that it still keeps him up at night. 288 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:01.080 Everybody online was saying the same thing. Yeah, but you 289 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.919 didn't do it by yourself. You needed Don Callis to 290 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.159 do it. So it still gnaws away at him. That 291 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.600 win three years ago to him, it meant nothing. Omegas 292 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.480 said that wind was tainted, but hearing will say that 293 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.120 he couldn't do it alone. That's music to his ears. 294 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.120 As far as Osprey goes, Omega says, the way he 295 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.200 looks at it, he actually beat him twice. This isn't 296 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.600 even a rubber match. He already has two wins over him. 297 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:31.000 So then Renee brings up Kenny's diverticulitis, because we have 298 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.519 to have at least one mention of the diverticulitis every 299 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.919 single week. And I like the fact that even Omega 300 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:39.519 himself here in this promo was talking about how fucking 301 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.559 sick he is of hearing about this. He said, he's 302 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.159 tired of hearing ex Caliber talk about it, and Taz 303 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.080 talk about it, and Tony Schavani talk about it. Let's 304 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.480 talk about you. Will you have three discs repaired in 305 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.440 your neck right? Omega says that he's in the best 306 00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.159 shape of his life right now, but he doesn't know 307 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.919 about Will. He tells Omega that he's come back strong 308 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:04.920 from his neck problems. Omega doesn't see it that way. 309 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.599 Osprey says, no Englishman has ever won the world title 310 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.200 in England. It's got a lot of pressure on his 311 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.920 shoulders to do just that at all. In he doesn't 312 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.279 need callous, he doesn't need a screwdriver. He will do 313 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.920 things the right way when he beats Kenny. And Omega said, 314 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.000 the last time Osprey tried to do it the right way, 315 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.279 he failed, and this time he'll fail again in his 316 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.119 home country. The only difference is this time he'll have 317 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.039 his mother there. And Osprey stood up. At this point, 318 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:35.000 he was ready to just make a move towards Omega. 319 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.559 That angered him. He told him, don't you mention my mother? 320 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.599 Security off camera kind of stepped in. They were ready 321 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.079 to pounce in case things broke down here. Omega said 322 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:47.119 he's sure that Will's mom will be proud of him 323 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:50.240 whether he wins or loses, but his young son might 324 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.960 need a new hero. After Kenny beats him again and 325 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.200 they had a hold back, Will Kenny walked off. I 326 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.359 thought this was excellent. I thought this was only the 327 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.359 best interaction these two have had. They've had a couple 328 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.799 of other ones prior to this. I thought Kenny was 329 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:07.759 really good here. I thought Will was really good here. 330 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:09.799 I think Osbury for the most part, has been really 331 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.640 good in all of these but this, again, this was 332 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.279 the sign here early in the show that Omega was 333 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.039 just acting like a dick. You know, he's just he's 334 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.000 sitting there. He's all full of himself. I mean, as 335 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.839 he should be. He's Kenny fucking Omega, but like he's 336 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.240 sitting there enjoying the smell of his own farts and 337 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.240 he's just healing on Osbury. Yeah, you know, you didn't 338 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.319 really impress me at first, and then you beat me, 339 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.640 but you really didn't because you needed help and I 340 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.519 don't think you can get the job done. So he 341 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.519 was just acting very like very snarky and just all 342 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.160 full of himself here, Osprey. He just came off as 343 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.359 desperate to prove that he can pull the trigger and 344 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.960 he can get the job done by himself, because it 345 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.279 eats him up inside that match. They had a forbidden 346 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.680 door three years ago that he did have help, and 347 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.279 he does have people who say, well, yeah, you beat him, 348 00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.480 but you didn't really beat him, and so I guess 349 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.240 that's part of his mission here, is to kind of 350 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.519 wipe that slate clean and go in there and show 351 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.720 that he can do it all by himself. Pretty straightforward stuff, 352 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.720 pretty simple to understand, and I thought this was very effective. 353 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.200 I actually was sitting here watching this and I was 354 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.039 staying to myself, I would have closed the show with 355 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.319 this now, But then I said, well, let's wait and 356 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.039 see what happens here. They have this other trios match, right, 357 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.440 They're book ending the shows with the two trios matches, 358 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.960 so let's see what they have. They must have some 359 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.079 big angle or something planned for the end of the show. 360 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.839 That's why it was formatted this way, and sure enough, 361 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.960 that ended up being the case. We had the TVs 362 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.960 Championship four way match. Maya World putting her title on 363 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.880 the line against Chris Statlander, Hikarushida and the CML Women's 364 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.720 world champion Persephone. This was not a good night. This 365 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:46.960 was not a good night to be a world champion 366 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:52.839 in CML male or female. They didn't even get ten 367 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.160 minutes for this. It kind of reminded me of the 368 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.400 four way that opened Night too, of SummerSlam only a 369 00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:59.960 few weeks ago. You have four of the best wrestlers 370 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.839 the world right now today in that match, four couldn't 371 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:07.759 even get ten minutes. Now, I'm not going to say 372 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.759 these are four of the best in the world right now, 373 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:12.279 although I do. I am a big fan of Statlanders, 374 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.519 and I think Persephone is great, but to not even 375 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.000 get ten minutes for a four way match is kind 376 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.720 of shitty. So they crammed a lot in here Maya 377 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:23.759 and Statlander. They came to blows late in the match. 378 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.920 Sheida interrupted that with a missile dropkick, so then Persephone 379 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:31.400 caught Statlander with a spear that left Shida and Persephone 380 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.279 the two heels to go at it. Persephone was looking 381 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:38.359 for a razor's edge. Statlander, they'll save Sheita, but only briefly, 382 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:43.119 and then power bombed her Statlander blasted Persephone with a 383 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:46.079 discus Laryert into a high stack. Maya flew in from 384 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.279 off camera with a swanton off the top. She tried 385 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:53.240 her bridging fallaway slam finish. Statlander, though countered out. She 386 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.880 was looking for Wednesday Night Fever. She got rolled up 387 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:01.400 by Maya for the flash pinned to retain the TBS title. 388 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.640 I thought this was good stuff here from these four. 389 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.960 Maya keeps on rolling into Wembley. Is the champion. Good 390 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.119 for her. No clue what they're going to do with 391 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.480 her on that show. There was certainly no There was 392 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:17.559 no overt hint. I mean, I guess if you are 393 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.720 of the belief as I am that Chris Statlander, I 394 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.279 don't want to say that she's going to go heal. 395 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.279 But when this was over, she took the pin and 396 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:29.200 they had a close up of her face. She was 397 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.359 not happy. So that tells me that maybe she's going 398 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.240 to pop up again at some point in this next 399 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.720 week or so, and maybe we end up getting a 400 00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:39.440 singles match, Maybe we end up getting a one on 401 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.319
