Speaker 1: Another show, Tonight that went into a thirty five minute
Speaker 1: overrun less than two weeks out from All In, My God.
Speaker 1: We had a pair of trios matches on this show.
Speaker 1: One opened the show, one closed the show. Both of
Speaker 1: them had the don Kallis family. So if you're a
Speaker 1: fan of the don Kallis family, boy, I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're a fan of the don Kallis family, they're all
Speaker 1: over the show every week. But you got them at
Speaker 1: the beginning, you got them at the end. The big
Speaker 1: angle of the end though the matches don't even matter.
Speaker 1: The two trios matches we had tonight don't mean shit.
Speaker 1: The only important thing that happened here at the end
Speaker 1: it came after the match and it involved Kenny Omega
Speaker 1: and Will Osprey, who had a face to face sit
Speaker 1: down interview earlier in the show conducted by Renee that
Speaker 1: I actually thought was very good, although that was the
Speaker 1: high point of the show, strongest interaction that these two
Speaker 1: have had in all the weeks coming out of Redemption,
Speaker 1: in the build up here to All In. The one
Speaker 1: thing that they really solidified here at the end of
Speaker 1: the show was heel Kenny Omega, So they were kind
Speaker 1: of teasing it the way that Omega's been acting of late,
Speaker 1: but they really made it very clear who the babyface
Speaker 1: is supposed to be here and who the heel is
Speaker 1: supposed to be going into Wembley Stadium. It ended with
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega taking a cheap shot at Will as he
Speaker 1: was being held by a couple of security guards and
Speaker 1: then dumping him through a table outside the ring with
Speaker 1: a one winged angel, and then Kenny got the crazy
Speaker 1: eyes as he was sitting there, and that's how they
Speaker 1: closed the show. So I guess the idea, at least
Speaker 1: in part, is that the championship is as it did
Speaker 1: many years ago, once again corrupting this man. This is
Speaker 1: a different kind of Kenny Omega that we're not used
Speaker 1: to seeing. He's the champion now, he thinks his shit,
Speaker 1: don't stink. He's the guy Will Osprey, He's not shit.
Speaker 1: That's basically the gist of it here going into this show,
Speaker 1: and so it was important, I guess, to kind of
Speaker 1: drive that point home. But also the other thing they
Speaker 1: did here because that trios match had Kenny Omega and
Speaker 1: the young Bucks, it was the elite taking on members
Speaker 1: of the Kallus family. And so when the match was over,
Speaker 1: more members of the Kallus family came out and we
Speaker 1: had this big, wild brawl. Adam Copeland came out, Christian
Speaker 1: Cage came out, and we saw an errant shot, an
Speaker 1: errant superkick to Christian. This was important because, honestly, of
Speaker 1: all the key matches that have been built up for
Speaker 1: this pay per view, which again is only about ten
Speaker 1: or eleven days away now, this one seems to kind
Speaker 1: of be falling under the radar, and I feel like
Speaker 1: this match should be. It should feel like a much
Speaker 1: bigger deal than it is first ever, you know, edging
Speaker 1: Christian against the Young Bucks. It's kind of been lost
Speaker 1: in all the noise I think of the Omega Osprey
Speaker 1: stuff and Willow and Mercedes and the Continental Cup stuff.
Speaker 1: So it was important, I think, to get those guys
Speaker 1: out there, even if it was just a quick run
Speaker 1: in there at the end of the show. But that's
Speaker 1: how they went off the air. And we also, I said,
Speaker 1: we had a pair of interviews. It wasn't just Kenny
Speaker 1: and will who had their sit down. We had a
Speaker 1: split screen interview earlier in the show between Mercedes Monette,
Speaker 1: Will o'nightingale. They're having their Women's World Championship match at all.
Speaker 1: In again, I enjoyed that segment two so again that
Speaker 1: one wasn't really face to face per se, but those
Speaker 1: two segments I thought were very effective in terms of
Speaker 1: the two world title matches that are coming up on
Speaker 1: the pay per view. We also had a pair of
Speaker 1: quarterfinal matches in the Continental Cup, one of which surprised
Speaker 1: the fuck out of me when they first announced it
Speaker 1: in their little YouTube special on Monday night, because I
Speaker 1: was thinking, this has got to be the final. This
Speaker 1: is a tailor made to be the final of the
Speaker 1: tournament here between John Moxley and Jay White, and then
Speaker 1: they announced it for tonight, and I was really hoping
Speaker 1: that we would get the first real upset of this
Speaker 1: tournament and that Jay White would pull it out against Moxley,
Speaker 1: something that nobody else has been able to do because
Speaker 1: Moxley has basically been untouchable this entire year. Beat Moxley,
Speaker 1: which would make him I guess, would make him the champion.
Speaker 1: I mean, effectively is that title on the line every
Speaker 1: single match he has in this tournament? I guess it is.
Speaker 1: And John Moxley, they could always have him enter the
Speaker 1: gauntlet and he could win the contract, because we all
Speaker 1: know coming out of this pay per view, whether it's
Speaker 1: it all out or sometime after that, we know what
Speaker 1: the direction is. The direction has got to be Osprey
Speaker 1: and Moxley for the championship again. Osprey still has to
Speaker 1: get that win back from earlier in the year, so
Speaker 1: I was hoping maybe they would go in that direction.
Speaker 1: They went the predictable route, another John Moxley win, surprise, surprise,
Speaker 1: although they had a very good match. The other match
Speaker 1: was Nigel McGinnis who suffered an injury and we'll get
Speaker 1: into exactly what happened there, but he suffered an injury
Speaker 1: in his match on Collision. He had a match in
Speaker 1: the tournament here tonight against hetch Sero and Nigel is
Speaker 1: also moving on to the semi final round. Also on
Speaker 1: the show, Kevin Knight, he blew up Darby Allen. He
Speaker 1: exploded him. Good. How many people did we see Darby
Speaker 1: Allen blow up with various explosive devices give him a
Speaker 1: little taste of his own medicine tonight. So now I
Speaker 1: don't know if the false count anywhere match is going
Speaker 1: to be happening or not. Gee, I guess we'll have
Speaker 1: to wait until next week and find out. But Indestructible Darby,
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll find a way to make it to Wembley.
Speaker 1: And we had a TVs Championship four way match, Maya
Speaker 1: World putting her title on the line against Chris stat Lander,
Speaker 1: Hikarushida and Persephone. So those were the key points on
Speaker 1: the show tonight. There was a lot going on. They
Speaker 1: went way over time. I'm not going to We're going
Speaker 1: to try to zip through this as economically as we can.
Speaker 1: This is your aw Dynamite review. It is Wednesday night.
Speaker 1: It is August nineteenth, twenty twenty six. For those of
Speaker 1: you who are with me, I thank you. I know
Speaker 1: that Wednesdays is usually the softer night when it comes
Speaker 1: to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but we do the best
Speaker 1: we can with that, like can subscribe, going to bring
Speaker 1: the faithful wheel up here. Oh, by the way, I
Speaker 1: wanted to say thank you. Want to give a shout
Speaker 1: out to Noah who may be with us in the chat.
Speaker 1: I believe Noah was at the not Noah the mark
Speaker 1: if you know you know, but Noah was in the
Speaker 1: crowd tonight. He was at the show, and he was
Speaker 1: able to get a sound off sign. He brought a
Speaker 1: sound off sign with him and he got it on
Speaker 1: camera in the closing moments of the show, actually off
Speaker 1: in the background behind Kenny Omega there. So shout out
Speaker 1: to Noah for representing the podcast. Brother, I appreciate that
Speaker 1: very much. It's been this bad boy here. So we
Speaker 1: can get into this. Shout out to Sarah Sarah bonus
Speaker 1: goal only. Okay, well that means no be the booker tonight.
Speaker 1: That's what that means. But you already knew that. Let's
Speaker 1: get into this here. First of two trios matches that
Speaker 1: we had, we had, of course the aforementioned Don Kallis family.
Speaker 1: In this case it was Brian Cage, Lance Archer and
Speaker 1: Rocky Romero. He always successful Lance Archer at Rocky Romero
Speaker 1: taking on the United Empire. So it was will ospray
Speaker 1: Hanare and Francesco Akira, who we never see on Dynamite
Speaker 1: maybe one time. I think they had a match on
Speaker 1: Dynamite here this year. So I saw this match. I'm like, eh,
Speaker 1: very blah. Match broke down at the end Osprey he
Speaker 1: spiked Cage with a poison Rona. Romero tried to slice bread.
Speaker 1: He ended up eating a double team cutter though from
Speaker 1: Osprey and Akira Akira and Hanare. They hit stereo dives
Speaker 1: outside the ring and that left Rocky Romero all by
Speaker 1: his lonesome in the ring to eat a hidden blade
Speaker 1: that gave the win to Team Osprey. Decent opener. You know,
Speaker 1: we got some good action here, but the whole point
Speaker 1: was just to put a spotlight on the challenger at
Speaker 1: all In, with the champion getting his own trios match.
Speaker 1: Later on in the show, Rene was backstage with Kazuchka
Speaker 1: Okada trying to get his on the International title. Three
Speaker 1: way coming up at all In with himself, Kyle Fletcher,
Speaker 1: and Kenoski Takeshta. Okata said nothing is more important than family,
Speaker 1: unlike Takeshta, who left the family because he's selfish. That's right,
Speaker 1: He's a selfish prick. So he said the Fletcher won't
Speaker 1: make the same mistake that Takeshta did. He would be
Speaker 1: happy for Kyle to retain the International title because that
Speaker 1: would mean the title would remain in the family, but
Speaker 1: if he wins, If he wins, Okata wins, he expects
Speaker 1: Kyle to be happy for him and to raise his
Speaker 1: hand in the middle of the ring. So after this
Speaker 1: we cut to the arena alive and Tony Schavanni is
Speaker 1: in the ring to introduce the International Champion, the Protos
Speaker 1: star Kyle Fletcher, who made his way out to the
Speaker 1: ring all by himself. Shockingly, we did not have any
Speaker 1: other members of the Kallis family. I guess they were
Speaker 1: getting ready for their second trios match later in the night.
Speaker 1: Shavanni asked him about the possibility of raising Ocata's hand
Speaker 1: at all in, and Fletcher said, look, he was in
Speaker 1: the middle of the greatest International championionship run of all
Speaker 1: time and he sees no reason that it needs to
Speaker 1: end at all in. He owes Don Kallis a lot.
Speaker 1: He trusts Don Kallas and this is his plan, and
Speaker 1: Fletcher was willing to follow that plan, but he told
Speaker 1: Okada he needs to know his role and then he
Speaker 1: popped the people's elbow after this, he needs to know
Speaker 1: his role in this entire thing, which is to be
Speaker 1: his family and help him retain his championship. So then
Speaker 1: he turned to Takeshta and he said that he hated
Speaker 1: his guts and he mocked him for losing the g
Speaker 1: one climax. Yeah, he got bounced. Takeshta won the g
Speaker 1: One last year, but he got bounced. He didn't even
Speaker 1: make it to the finals this year. I did. I
Speaker 1: know we're taking a little sidebar here, but I did
Speaker 1: see the finals of the G One. I had when
Speaker 1: I did the SoundOff on Sunday. I hadn't had a
Speaker 1: chance to watch the entire match yet. But with Oiwa
Speaker 1: and Ui Mura, those of you who follow New Japan
Speaker 1: and know who they are, they had a fucking awesome
Speaker 1: match in the finals, a match that ended, by the way,
Speaker 1: with a headlock, which I know, if you're just hearing
Speaker 1: that like that sounds completely preposterous, but they made it work.
Speaker 1: So good on them. That's one of the best matches
Speaker 1: I've seen all year. But yes, Takesha, he failed in
Speaker 1: the G One and that brought out Ta Keshta. This
Speaker 1: is the first time we've seen him here on the
Speaker 1: show since July, right, it's been many weeks back on
Speaker 1: American Soil. He came to the ring, a brawl ensued
Speaker 1: between these two men. Fletcher hit a half and half,
Speaker 1: Takesha came right back with the Blue Thunderbomb and then
Speaker 1: a poison RNA, and then as Fletcher was, it was
Speaker 1: like the Mortal Kombat thing where somebody is somebody is
Speaker 1: about to take a fatality, right, and they're like going
Speaker 1: like this right. That was him basically on his knees.
Speaker 1: He was waiting for the fatality, and the fatality was
Speaker 1: the power drive knee. He took a raging fire and
Speaker 1: then Okada never came out to help. Okada never showed
Speaker 1: his face here. He left Kyle out there to die.
Speaker 1: Ex Caliber at this point at the end of this
Speaker 1: and by the way, that that is one of the
Speaker 1: matches I am very much looking forward to on that show.
Speaker 1: That match is gonna be fucking awesome. The match that
Speaker 1: we had a double or nothing between Okada and Takesha
Speaker 1: is one of my number one favorite matches of the year. Fletcher.
Speaker 1: He's had a lot of great matches himself this year,
Speaker 1: including one just a few weeks ago at Speedball. So
Speaker 1: you put all three of them in the ring together,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a lot of fun. Now, ex Caliber,
Speaker 1: he was trying to run down he was attempting to
Speaker 1: run down all of the remaining matches here that were
Speaker 1: on this show, but he sounded like a fucking cyborg
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my my best. Let me see if
Speaker 1: I could do my best. Question another. I don't know
Speaker 1: what was going on. I saw people who were watching
Speaker 1: on HBO Max like I was, people who were not watching.
Speaker 1: They were watching on the TBS. I think it was
Speaker 1: just universal. I saw multiple complaints about the audio here,
Speaker 1: so he sounded like a cyborg. They went to commercial.
Speaker 1: When they came back, we were taken to an earlier
Speaker 1: sit down interview at a table in a darkened room,
Speaker 1: Rene Piquette with the two men in the main event
Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium, Kenny Omega and will Ospray. And at
Speaker 1: this point we had no audio at all, and I said,
Speaker 1: oh boy, they better fix this shit, because this is
Speaker 1: I was looking forward to this. Thankfully. Before she was
Speaker 1: done speaking and before Osprey started speaking, the audio was restored.
Speaker 1: Osprey said he looked up to Omega. Omega said that
Speaker 1: he likes to keep his finger on the pulse, understanding
Speaker 1: who the flavors of the month are, the internet darlings.
Speaker 1: So he was also very excited but not blown away
Speaker 1: by Osprey. The first time he saw he could see
Speaker 1: the potential. It's a little backhanded compliment there from Omega, I, suh,
Speaker 1: I should do the robo voice for the whole show,
Speaker 1: and I don't think people would like that very much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that would get old after about I don't know,
Speaker 1: eight seconds. Maybe Cyborg Solo. We may dust off Cyborg
Speaker 1: Solo every now and then. I'm not opposed to bringing
Speaker 1: him outorgs Well, that's let's the voice, stupid. You see
Speaker 1: what I did, you guys, it's something what you want
Speaker 1: that sounds positively awful. So let's not do that again.
Speaker 1: So Renee, she wants to know when, uh, when Kenny
Speaker 1: saw Will in a different light? Right? Because Will Will
Speaker 1: did not impress him at first, So when did he
Speaker 1: first start to impress Kenny Omega? Kenny says, it goes
Speaker 1: back to Wrestle Kingdom seventeen. He came back to see
Speaker 1: if Osprey could fill his shoes. Unfortunately, Osprey was not
Speaker 1: able to prove to him that he could put New
Speaker 1: Japan on his back. He said New Japan needed to
Speaker 1: sell tickets and Osprey's name alone wasn't gonna do that.
Speaker 1: His name does, so, Osprey says, with all due respect,
Speaker 1: Kenny walked into a very plush situation. Osprey had it
Speaker 1: very different. Kenny built his name off the backs of
Speaker 1: people like Okada in Tanahashi, and he she Osprey had
Speaker 1: to do it the hard way. Kenny made three hour trips.
Speaker 1: He had to make fifteen hour flights. He was put
Speaker 1: up in a hotel no bigger than a broom closet.
Speaker 1: Omega was fine playing to the aw Marx around Ringsay
Speaker 1: while half the New Japan roster was starving during COVID,
Speaker 1: So don't give him that attendance bullshit, Omega said. Osprey
Speaker 1: makes it sound like his situation was so unique. But
Speaker 1: if New Japan actually had fans in the would they
Speaker 1: have been that loud for Osprey. Rene mentions Osprey joining
Speaker 1: the don Kallis family, and Omega said callous promised him
Speaker 1: gold success, AW gold, TNA gold, IWGP gold until he
Speaker 1: finally saw what it was worth. It was a cautionary
Speaker 1: tale for guys like Osprey who didn't have to make
Speaker 1: the same mistakes that Omega did. But Osprey couldn't help himself.
Speaker 1: Osprey said that Omega embarrassed him. He came into New Japan.
Speaker 1: He was tearing apart his life in front of so
Speaker 1: many people that he loved, and he still has the
Speaker 1: scars on his head to show for it. Omega asked,
Speaker 1: how is this different from when Osprey came into his home,
Speaker 1: his home country, and Osprey said Omega deserved it. Omega
Speaker 1: didn't use Don Callus in the Tokyo Dome, but Osprey
Speaker 1: used Callous in their forbidden doormatch, and Osprey acknowledges that,
Speaker 1: and he says that it still keeps him up at night.
Speaker 1: Everybody online was saying the same thing. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: didn't do it by yourself. You needed Don Callis to
Speaker 1: do it. So it still gnaws away at him. That
Speaker 1: win three years ago to him, it meant nothing. Omegas
Speaker 1: said that wind was tainted, but hearing will say that
Speaker 1: he couldn't do it alone. That's music to his ears.
Speaker 1: As far as Osprey goes, Omega says, the way he
Speaker 1: looks at it, he actually beat him twice. This isn't
Speaker 1: even a rubber match. He already has two wins over him.
Speaker 1: So then Renee brings up Kenny's diverticulitis, because we have
Speaker 1: to have at least one mention of the diverticulitis every
Speaker 1: single week. And I like the fact that even Omega
Speaker 1: himself here in this promo was talking about how fucking
Speaker 1: sick he is of hearing about this. He said, he's
Speaker 1: tired of hearing ex Caliber talk about it, and Taz
Speaker 1: talk about it, and Tony Schavani talk about it. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about you. Will you have three discs repaired in
Speaker 1: your neck right? Omega says that he's in the best
Speaker 1: shape of his life right now, but he doesn't know
Speaker 1: about Will. He tells Omega that he's come back strong
Speaker 1: from his neck problems. Omega doesn't see it that way.
Speaker 1: Osprey says, no Englishman has ever won the world title
Speaker 1: in England. It's got a lot of pressure on his
Speaker 1: shoulders to do just that at all. In he doesn't
Speaker 1: need callous, he doesn't need a screwdriver. He will do
Speaker 1: things the right way when he beats Kenny. And Omega said,
Speaker 1: the last time Osprey tried to do it the right way,
Speaker 1: he failed, and this time he'll fail again in his
Speaker 1: home country. The only difference is this time he'll have
Speaker 1: his mother there. And Osprey stood up. At this point,
Speaker 1: he was ready to just make a move towards Omega.
Speaker 1: That angered him. He told him, don't you mention my mother?
Speaker 1: Security off camera kind of stepped in. They were ready
Speaker 1: to pounce in case things broke down here. Omega said
Speaker 1: he's sure that Will's mom will be proud of him
Speaker 1: whether he wins or loses, but his young son might
Speaker 1: need a new hero. After Kenny beats him again and
Speaker 1: they had a hold back, Will Kenny walked off. I
Speaker 1: thought this was excellent. I thought this was only the
Speaker 1: best interaction these two have had. They've had a couple
Speaker 1: of other ones prior to this. I thought Kenny was
Speaker 1: really good here. I thought Will was really good here.
Speaker 1: I think Osbury for the most part, has been really
Speaker 1: good in all of these but this, again, this was
Speaker 1: the sign here early in the show that Omega was
Speaker 1: just acting like a dick. You know, he's just he's
Speaker 1: sitting there. He's all full of himself. I mean, as
Speaker 1: he should be. He's Kenny fucking Omega, but like he's
Speaker 1: sitting there enjoying the smell of his own farts and
Speaker 1: he's just healing on Osbury. Yeah, you know, you didn't
Speaker 1: really impress me at first, and then you beat me,
Speaker 1: but you really didn't because you needed help and I
Speaker 1: don't think you can get the job done. So he
Speaker 1: was just acting very like very snarky and just all
Speaker 1: full of himself here, Osprey. He just came off as
Speaker 1: desperate to prove that he can pull the trigger and
Speaker 1: he can get the job done by himself, because it
Speaker 1: eats him up inside that match. They had a forbidden
Speaker 1: door three years ago that he did have help, and
Speaker 1: he does have people who say, well, yeah, you beat him,
Speaker 1: but you didn't really beat him, and so I guess
Speaker 1: that's part of his mission here, is to kind of
Speaker 1: wipe that slate clean and go in there and show
Speaker 1: that he can do it all by himself. Pretty straightforward stuff,
Speaker 1: pretty simple to understand, and I thought this was very effective.
Speaker 1: I actually was sitting here watching this and I was
Speaker 1: staying to myself, I would have closed the show with
Speaker 1: this now, But then I said, well, let's wait and
Speaker 1: see what happens here. They have this other trios match, right,
Speaker 1: They're book ending the shows with the two trios matches,
Speaker 1: so let's see what they have. They must have some
Speaker 1: big angle or something planned for the end of the show.
Speaker 1: That's why it was formatted this way, and sure enough,
Speaker 1: that ended up being the case. We had the TVs
Speaker 1: Championship four way match. Maya World putting her title on
Speaker 1: the line against Chris Statlander, Hikarushida and the CML Women's
Speaker 1: world champion Persephone. This was not a good night. This
Speaker 1: was not a good night to be a world champion
Speaker 1: in CML male or female. They didn't even get ten
Speaker 1: minutes for this. It kind of reminded me of the
Speaker 1: four way that opened Night too, of SummerSlam only a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. You have four of the best wrestlers
Speaker 1: the world right now today in that match, four couldn't
Speaker 1: even get ten minutes. Now, I'm not going to say
Speaker 1: these are four of the best in the world right now,
Speaker 1: although I do. I am a big fan of Statlanders,
Speaker 1: and I think Persephone is great, but to not even
Speaker 1: get ten minutes for a four way match is kind
Speaker 1: of shitty. So they crammed a lot in here Maya
Speaker 1: and Statlander. They came to blows late in the match.
Speaker 1: Sheida interrupted that with a missile dropkick, so then Persephone
Speaker 1: caught Statlander with a spear that left Shida and Persephone
Speaker 1: the two heels to go at it. Persephone was looking
Speaker 1: for a razor's edge. Statlander, they'll save Sheita, but only briefly,
Speaker 1: and then power bombed her Statlander blasted Persephone with a
Speaker 1: discus Laryert into a high stack. Maya flew in from
Speaker 1: off camera with a swanton off the top. She tried
Speaker 1: her bridging fallaway slam finish. Statlander, though countered out. She
Speaker 1: was looking for Wednesday Night Fever. She got rolled up
Speaker 1: by Maya for the flash pinned to retain the TBS title.
Speaker 1: I thought this was good stuff here from these four.
Speaker 1: Maya keeps on rolling into Wembley. Is the champion. Good
Speaker 1: for her. No clue what they're going to do with
Speaker 1: her on that show. There was certainly no There was
Speaker 1: no overt hint. I mean, I guess if you are
Speaker 1: of the belief as I am that Chris Statlander, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say that she's going to go heal.
Speaker 1: But when this was over, she took the pin and
Speaker 1: they had a close up of her face. She was
Speaker 1: not happy. So that tells me that maybe she's going
Speaker 1: to pop up again at some point in this next
Speaker 1: week or so, and maybe we end up getting a
Speaker 1: singles match, Maybe we end up getting a one on
Speaker 1: one match at the pay per view with her and Maya.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do that, and I would love to
Speaker 1: see it if you're gonna do that, though, Statlander has
Speaker 1: to win. I don't want to see her just keep
Speaker 1: eating l's here on this show. She took the loss
Speaker 1: here in this match. If you're going to run back
Speaker 1: something with her and Maya, then she's got to win.
Speaker 1: You got to give her something. But that was the
Speaker 1: only potential hint of their being an opponent for her,
Speaker 1: you know, for the TBS title at all. In otherwise,
Speaker 1: they didn't tease anything. They didn't hint at anything. I
Speaker 1: was thinking, Okay, you set this four way match up
Speaker 1: just to have her go in there and beat the
Speaker 1: other three. Somebody must be showing up when the match
Speaker 1: is over or debuting or something, and that might set
Speaker 1: a title match up. Nope, Nope, she just won and
Speaker 1: she celebrated her victory. Instead, what they did was a
Speaker 1: few segments later, we'll skip ahead here. There was a
Speaker 1: segment in the back with Renee and Maya where she
Speaker 1: was interrupted by Willow Nightingale, who reminded Maya, you know,
Speaker 1: about a month ago, I promise you that if I
Speaker 1: beat Tecla at Redemption. Holy fuck, I just realized, what
Speaker 1: is Techla doing at all? In where the hell is Tecla.
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt a little bad for her that
Speaker 1: she was this close to walking into Wembley as the
Speaker 1: champion and they took it away from her, which I
Speaker 1: was okay with because I think they made the right
Speaker 1: choice in going with Willow. But to not have something
Speaker 1: set up for her at all that all in show
Speaker 1: would be terrible because she's done some great work this
Speaker 1: year and now we have one Dynamite left before we
Speaker 1: even get there. That's not enough time to set up
Speaker 1: anything major. But I mean, I hope she can at
Speaker 1: least get a fucking pre show match or something. I
Speaker 1: completely forgot about her ever since she lost the title.
Speaker 1: It's like at a side out of mind. I'm like,
Speaker 1: holy crap, I forgot all about Tecla. But she mentioned
Speaker 1: here that she did tell Maya that if she beat
Speaker 1: Tecla at Redemption, who won the championship back, that she
Speaker 1: would give Maya the first shot. So she's a woman
Speaker 1: of her word. She wants to give her the shot
Speaker 1: this Saturday on Collision, and Maya was more than happy
Speaker 1: to accept that, and so that match will take place
Speaker 1: on Saturday. So maybe we'll find out then who the
Speaker 1: next challenger is going to be Obviously she's not beating
Speaker 1: Willow Willau. Sorry, but when that match is over, who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe Statlander shows up. Maybe that's where stat Lander shows up.
Speaker 1: She's not happy about the way things ended tonight. She
Speaker 1: wants another crack app But I say give it to her.
Speaker 1: I can't think of anybody else really who would make
Speaker 1: sense in that spot here, with practically no time left
Speaker 1: to build to a TBS title match. After this, we
Speaker 1: had our first of two quarterfinal round matches in the
Speaker 1: Continental Cup. The reigning champion, the unbeatable one, John Moxley
Speaker 1: one on one would switch blade Jay White, who just
Speaker 1: picked up a win, actually they both did last week.
Speaker 1: Moxley beat Jack Perry. Jay White picked up a win
Speaker 1: over David Finley. So that led to this. When I
Speaker 1: saw that this was taking place tonight and not taking
Speaker 1: place in the finals, I was disappointed because I kind
Speaker 1: of knew, okay, I knew how this was probably gonna go.
Speaker 1: I laid out this whole scenario about how, well, maybe
Speaker 1: you know he'll get the big upset win, and then
Speaker 1: you could always put Moxley in the gauntlet, because you're
Speaker 1: not gonna leave him off the pay per view. But
Speaker 1: like shake things up a little bit. This tournament hasn't
Speaker 1: really had any upsets so far. Maybe they would give
Speaker 1: it to us tonight. Actually, when I saw they weren't
Speaker 1: main eventing with this, that's what I knew. If this
Speaker 1: was in the main event, then I would have believed
Speaker 1: until the very end, until the bitter end, that Jay
Speaker 1: White might have had a shot. Once I sounded, or
Speaker 1: once I saw rather that this was happening in the
Speaker 1: middle of the show, I lost much of that hope.
Speaker 1: They spilled outside after a break, with Moxley diving out
Speaker 1: onto White on the floor. White was able to avoid
Speaker 1: Moxley diving off the top and he landed back to
Speaker 1: back half Nelson's soup plexes. So they put Moxley on
Speaker 1: the top turn buckle hit a superplex, and when he did,
Speaker 1: he winced from the pain. Because ex Caliber was telling
Speaker 1: the story on commentary about the injured neck right in
Speaker 1: the match with David Finley last week, he was working
Speaker 1: over the bad neck, which goes all the way back
Speaker 1: to that fucking botch dominator spot. In the double chain
Speaker 1: match of Redemption, Moxley went for a sleeper hole, White
Speaker 1: reversed into a pin though for a close near fall.
Speaker 1: White hit a blade runner. Mock though, with presence of mind,
Speaker 1: rolls out to the floor, so White brought Moxley back inside.
Speaker 1: Max though rolled him into a choke. White was able
Speaker 1: to get to his feet. Moxley hit a death rider
Speaker 1: though great near fall. They got a great near fall
Speaker 1: out of that. Moxley went right back to the choke though,
Speaker 1: and there was a brief struggle. It didn't go very
Speaker 1: long and he went ninety nine and the referee call
Speaker 1: for the stoppage, so we got the predictable finish John Moxley.
Speaker 1: He rolls on into the semi finals here of this tournament.
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming, Jay White. I will say this, since
Speaker 1: Jay White came back to the company, this was the
Speaker 1: best match that he has had, whether it be TV.
Speaker 1: The redemption match was fucking terrible. I hated that chain match,
Speaker 1: but even some of the matches he had on TV,
Speaker 1: the match with David Finley last week was probably the
Speaker 1: best of the bunch. This was better than that. So
Speaker 1: it was nice to see him go in there, and
Speaker 1: there were some really dramatic near falls, and this was
Speaker 1: very good stuff. I can't hate on the match itself.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm really hoping this isn't though
Speaker 1: I really hope, you know, them bouncing Jane wide out,
Speaker 1: Moxley's moving on. I really hope that the idea here
Speaker 1: is not to just set up Nigel to go to
Speaker 1: the finals and tell that story or even win. I
Speaker 1: don't want to see that if that's the entire point
Speaker 1: of all this. To me, this is this is a
Speaker 1: waste and I really just because they're in London, or
Speaker 1: even worse if he loses. But frankly, I don't think
Speaker 1: he should be the one. I mean, Moxley has been
Speaker 1: so protected and so unbeatable that after all these months,
Speaker 1: the whole year, really because he's had this championship since
Speaker 1: last year, for Nigel McGinnis to be the one. Let's
Speaker 1: say if he goes to the final. He's not there yet,
Speaker 1: but if he gets there and he beats John, that
Speaker 1: would be that would be ridiculous, that would be ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Now there is the possibility they're setting up mox and
Speaker 1: Eddie Kingston. Right, Kingston is still in this the same
Speaker 1: Eddie Kingston who up until recent he had worked two
Speaker 1: dynamites this entire year. The last time was in March
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you know what, let's bring back Eddie Kingston.
Speaker 1: He's been toiling away and Ring of Honor. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't like the way things are set up right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of this. But after the match
Speaker 1: was over, we weren't done yet. J Why got ambushed
Speaker 1: by David Finley and Clark Connors, Orange Cassidy and Kyle O'Reilly.
Speaker 1: They came out to even the odds. But then Gabe
Speaker 1: Kidd showed up. This was his return. He went on
Speaker 1: the attack. Roderick Strong came out. He tried to make
Speaker 1: the save. Was it Roddy? Somebody threw a punch in
Speaker 1: here that was like a phantom punch. It reminded me
Speaker 1: of Shane McMahon. I think it was Roddy. He threw
Speaker 1: a punch that did not connect. So anyway, the Dogs
Speaker 1: were about to put down Roddy when here comes Hangman,
Speaker 1: Adam Page and Brodido, the new Trios champions, and so
Speaker 1: the dogs ran away. So now the demand comes at
Speaker 1: it gets worse. Here comes Ricochet in the Gates of Agony.
Speaker 1: They come out on stage with the lethal twist. Hangman says,
Speaker 1: there's no way in hell that we're missing Wembley. So
Speaker 1: if any of you out here, or anyone who took
Speaker 1: a break from waxing their partner's head to watch from
Speaker 1: the stage, which got bald chance from the crowd here
Speaker 1: directed at Ricochet, if any of you want a shot
Speaker 1: at the trios titles, meet us under the Wembley arch
Speaker 1: at dusk because the champions will be waiting. And then
Speaker 1: later in the back, Prince Nana was there with Swerve
Speaker 1: Strickland and this was very brief. Swerve was just sitting down.
Speaker 1: He stood up and he just wanted to make sure
Speaker 1: that he heard that anyone can challenge for the trios
Speaker 1: titles at all. In don't say it if you don't
Speaker 1: mean it. Yet another hint that Swerve is in fact
Speaker 1: going to round up a couple of partners to join
Speaker 1: him in combat. And I think that it looks like
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get probably the announcement of who it's
Speaker 1: gonna be. I mean, we have one more dynamite left.
Speaker 1: I suppose it could happen next week. We're so late
Speaker 1: in the game here in the promotion for this show.
Speaker 1: If it's gonna be the New Day, And I think
Speaker 1: we all suspect the same thing. It's gonna be Kofee
Speaker 1: and Creed. That'll that'll be more of an impact. It
Speaker 1: will make more of an impact than if it's just
Speaker 1: the Hurt Syndicate. At this point, there's no sense in
Speaker 1: even announcing it in advance. I think the way to
Speaker 1: go here is just to kind of let people speculate
Speaker 1: on their own as long as you're gonna deliver on
Speaker 1: what they're expecting. Don't let people's imaginations run wild with
Speaker 1: who it could be. Oh, it's gonna be them, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be this guy, that guy, and then deliver a
Speaker 1: fucking lame outcome. It's the whole CM punk first dance
Speaker 1: thing in Chicago many years ago, where they never said
Speaker 1: CM punk was returning, right, but you kind of knew
Speaker 1: CM punk was returning, right. They said it without actually
Speaker 1: saying it. And I think at this point, if it's
Speaker 1: the New Day, that's the way you do it. And
Speaker 1: let them come out there and they'll get the big,
Speaker 1: you know, debut pop when they come out at Wembley Stadium.
Speaker 1: They'll never be a bigger moment for them than that
Speaker 1: moment when they first show up. So instead of trotting
Speaker 1: them out there, in Glasgow next week, just save them
Speaker 1: for London. But it seems pretty clear who he's showing
Speaker 1: up with. The one thing I'm not really a fan
Speaker 1: of here, it looks like we're just gonna have a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of different teams. At first, I thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be like three teams. Now I'm wondering if
Speaker 1: we're gonna end up with like four teams, five teams.
Speaker 1: They're just gonna like throw a whole bunch of people
Speaker 1: in there and you know, to debut the New Day
Speaker 1: in that way that I'm not too fond of that. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really have an issue with linking
Speaker 1: them up with Swerve, Like initially I think that's fine,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to see them toiling away in
Speaker 1: trios hell. Though, for the first six months of their
Speaker 1: aw run, we got other matches. We got other matches,
Speaker 1: we got tag team titles, not treos titles for them
Speaker 1: to be challenging for. After this, we had Jonathan Cruz
Speaker 1: standing in the middle of the ring. If you don't
Speaker 1: know who that is, it's the former Serpentago. I will
Speaker 1: always fondly remember him as the man who wrestles Samoe
Speaker 1: Joe on Dynamite and that great spot where he came
Speaker 1: diving off the top rope and Joe simply just stepped aside,
Speaker 1: and you got that great shot of him flying through
Speaker 1: the air, just looking at Joe going what that was him.
Speaker 1: He has also in the past played the translator for MJF,
Speaker 1: like when MJF was doing the angle at Arena Mexico
Speaker 1: and everything. He's his personal translator. See, he was in
Speaker 1: the ring and he had a scroll that was given
Speaker 1: to him by MJF to tell Andrade what he thinks
Speaker 1: of him, but do it in Spanish, said ANDROTI will
Speaker 1: never be the real world champion. Androtti is not a
Speaker 1: real Latino man. But then he said, well he went
Speaker 1: off script here a little bit. But anyway, he said
Speaker 1: a few more things about Andrade that were not very nice,
Speaker 1: and so he went to go leave. And as he's
Speaker 1: going to leave, Androde's music hits. He comes out. He
Speaker 1: is in no mood. He is storming down to the ring.
Speaker 1: He's not flirting with the women in the front row,
Speaker 1: he's not posing, he's not the tranquilo. He makes a
Speaker 1: b line for the ring and as it turns out,
Speaker 1: we're getting an impromptu match. Justin Roberts went right into
Speaker 1: the ring introductions. This did not last very long. The
Speaker 1: spinning back elbow right away, and then the DM and
Speaker 1: thanks for coming Jonathan Cruz. Androte took the microphone and
Speaker 1: he called that MJF. And it was funny because they
Speaker 1: kind of fucked up a little bit here. As he
Speaker 1: was talking, we could hear Mjf's voice, and I thought
Speaker 1: maybe he was there and he was like up in
Speaker 1: the skybox or something. What happened was they had a
Speaker 1: pre tape with him and they hit the button too soon,
Speaker 1: so you could hear it started playing. Androde wasn't done
Speaker 1: with his promo yet though, so he finished what he
Speaker 1: was saying, and then they cut to the video and
Speaker 1: the video was MJF lounging in his pool in plane view,
Speaker 1: Long Island with his Real World belt the Triple B
Speaker 1: sitting there next to him, next to the pool, and
Speaker 1: he's a pool or hot tub whatever it was. I
Speaker 1: think it was his pool. He kept calling Androte Andrew,
Speaker 1: that was kind of funny. He said, you know, he
Speaker 1: was talking to the travel team and he had asked
Speaker 1: his travel team is Andrate going to be in Baltimore tonight,
Speaker 1: and when they told him that he would be he said, okay, well,
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay back here in Long Island. The
Speaker 1: next time I see Andrew will be at all In.
Speaker 1: And that was pretty much it. There wasn't a whole
Speaker 1: lot to this here. It was just him acting like
Speaker 1: a dick. He wasn't there live Androte was fuming, and
Speaker 1: so he picked up Jonathan Cruz and he gave him
Speaker 1: another DM and then he asked him how you know?
Speaker 1: And then he left. These are the two men that
Speaker 1: are entering the gauntlet, number one and number two respectively.
Speaker 1: You would watch this and never know there is a
Speaker 1: gauntlet match. You would think that they're wrestling one on one,
Speaker 1: which is I mean, this entire gauntlet is basically being
Speaker 1: built around these two. But yes, there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of other people in the gauntlet. We don't know
Speaker 1: how many. It could be five people, it could be
Speaker 1: fifteen people. Right, It's one fall to a finish. That's
Speaker 1: how these gauntlets work. But if you didn't know any better,
Speaker 1: you would think that this was one on one. Renee
Speaker 1: then had another interview here, this time a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale, the aw Women's World champion and her challenger,
Speaker 1: the winner of the Owenhart Tournament, Mercedes Monette, in separate rooms.
Speaker 1: So they were in the building, but they were in
Speaker 1: separate locations, so we had a split screen. And Mercedes
Speaker 1: called Willow a dumb bitch. Willow said that she had
Speaker 1: her number, and she said that she had the fans. Mercedes,
Speaker 1: you know, hates that she hates the fans. Willow accused
Speaker 1: her of having everything she needs in wrestling except that
Speaker 1: connection with the fans. Some Mercedes called Willow a bully.
Speaker 1: She had spent the last few years smiling. All she
Speaker 1: does is smile, right, smiling and dancing. Meanwhile, when they
Speaker 1: wrestled each other in New Japan and Mercedes got hurt
Speaker 1: and her career was potentially over, she didn't know if
Speaker 1: she was going to wrestle again. Willow was there standing
Speaker 1: over here and she was smiling, just like she's smiling now.
Speaker 1: So they started yelling at each other. She called her
Speaker 1: a dumb bitch again. I'm going to take your smile
Speaker 1: at Wembley. So they had enough of this and they
Speaker 1: took off their mics. Willow went searching for a Mercedes
Speaker 1: and the camera followed her. She's marching through the back.
Speaker 1: Mercedes ambushed her from behind and they brawled out into
Speaker 1: the arena. They brawled down to the ring and we
Speaker 1: had a poulapar brawl. And if you've seen one, you've
Speaker 1: seen them all. But the fans were into this. I like,
Speaker 1: for the most part what they've done here with these two.
Speaker 1: They had that segment. God, where were they Cincinnati? I
Speaker 1: like that venue. There was that venue. It was right
Speaker 1: after Willow won the belt. It was either that first
Speaker 1: dynamite after or the week after. But it was that
Speaker 1: segment where when Willow came out, it had to be
Speaker 1: the first dynamite after and the fans gave her that
Speaker 1: standing ovation. They were just so happy to see her
Speaker 1: as the champion. And then Mercedes came out, she got
Speaker 1: a ton of heat. That was a great segment. I
Speaker 1: didn't enjoy this as much as that. But I think
Speaker 1: they've done a good job, you know, so far as
Speaker 1: far as building the heat here between these two. And
Speaker 1: there's a lot of history between these two. And Mercedes
Speaker 1: has not been able to figure this woman out right.
Speaker 1: She lost her TBS championship to her. She has not
Speaker 1: been able to win the World Championship. The two opportunities
Speaker 1: that she's had up to this point to become the
Speaker 1: world champion in this company, she has failed, and so
Speaker 1: she wants to do it. She wants to finally break
Speaker 1: the curse. She's gonna have to beat the one person
Speaker 1: that she hasn't been able to figure out again. It's
Speaker 1: a very simple story to fun. I thought that this
Speaker 1: was fine, but as pull apart brawls go, you know again,
Speaker 1: if you've seen one, you've seen them, all right. They
Speaker 1: get separated, one breaks free, they get separated, the other
Speaker 1: breaks free. Everyone's got their formula for doing these. We
Speaker 1: had Nigel McGinnis and Hetchesero. This was the other quarterfinal
Speaker 1: match here in the Continental Cup tournament. So what happened
Speaker 1: was Nigel was wrestling on collision last weekend against Kattiori Shabata.
Speaker 1: In the course of that match, he supposedly injured his ankle.
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure if this is meant to be
Speaker 1: a worked injury to build sympathy for Nigel, or if
Speaker 1: he legitimately got hurt. I don't know, but he was
Speaker 1: sporting a walking boot the other day. He cut this
Speaker 1: baby face promo. This was on the quarterfinal selection special
Speaker 1: that they put on their YouTube channel, and there was
Speaker 1: some doubt about whether or not he was going to
Speaker 1: be able to continue, and he goes, no, I'm going
Speaker 1: to remain in this tournament and I'm going to win
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I'm going to go to Wembley. God
Speaker 1: save the Queen. So he was wrestling Hetchisaro, the CMLL
Speaker 1: World Champion here on this show, and he had his
Speaker 1: ankle taped up. Hetchisera made that ankle target. You would
Speaker 1: think that would be to his advantage. Unfortunately, the CMLL
Speaker 1: World Champion was unable to beat this one legged man
Speaker 1: slash announcer. He lost to Nigel McGinn is here after
Speaker 1: Nigel locked on a guillotine and Hetchisaro passed out, and
Speaker 1: so that sends Nigel McGinn is here to the next
Speaker 1: round of this tournament, the semi final round. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it had more to do with Nigel, the
Speaker 1: story being that Nigel was not one hundred percent, and
Speaker 1: maybe he's legitimately not one hundred percent. This was not
Speaker 1: very good and I watched this match and it certainly
Speaker 1: did not make me want to see Nigel go to
Speaker 1: the finals. Or win in the finals. And so I
Speaker 1: really am hoping that the whole point of all this
Speaker 1: is not to end John Moxley's run as the Continental
Speaker 1: Champion to Nigel McGinnis, of all people, just because they're
Speaker 1: going to be at Wembley Stadium, because I think that
Speaker 1: would be a very lame way to end all of this.
Speaker 1: As unbeatable as this man has been, To be perfectly
Speaker 1: honest with you, if he wasn't going to lose to
Speaker 1: Jay White tonight, I don't think he should be losing
Speaker 1: until he wrestles Well Osprey. I mean I said that
Speaker 1: even before Redemption, this, before I knew they were doing
Speaker 1: this Continental Cup crap. I should said Moxley shouldn't lose
Speaker 1: at all until he eventually gets in the ring with Osprey.
Speaker 1: Osprey should be the first guy to beat him this year.
Speaker 1: But then they announced this Cup and I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god. I'm like, you know what, let's send Switchblade
Speaker 1: to the finals. Can we send Switchblade to the finals here?
Speaker 1: And then they just went and fucking beat him here.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, they'll tell their story with Nigel.
Speaker 1: We'll see if he makes it to the finals. Right now,
Speaker 1: he's only in the Semis. One thing I was surprised about.
Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong here and they did mention it,
Speaker 1: you guys, let me know. I'll double check. But I
Speaker 1: did not hear the announcers mention the fact that Nigel
Speaker 1: is wrestling Lee Moriarty. I guess there's a Ring of
Speaker 1: Honor pay per view coming up this Friday. I think
Speaker 1: it might be Death before Dishonor with the stipulation that
Speaker 1: if Nigel loses, he will retire from Ring of Honor.
Speaker 1: Now I know it's Ring of Honor, but that's kind
Speaker 1: of a big thing. You would think they would want
Speaker 1: to push. I didn't hear them mention it a single
Speaker 1: time here on this show. You would think that would
Speaker 1: be kind of a big deal. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: didn't hear them mention it. We got a video package
Speaker 1: for Kevin Knight against Darby Allen. They're going to have
Speaker 1: a false count anywhere match at the pay per view
Speaker 1: for theb NO TNT. I got my networks mixed up
Speaker 1: TNT Championship. So Tony Shavani is in the ring, introduces
Speaker 1: Kevin Knight down to the ring, and Knight takes the
Speaker 1: mic away from him and says, you know, everybody questions
Speaker 1: the jet tonight, though I've got some answers, especially for you, Darby. Allen.
Speaker 1: I'm not a young boy anymore. I'm a grown ass man.
Speaker 1: I'm the greatest TNT champion of all time. And he
Speaker 1: demands that Darby come out to the ring. So Darby
Speaker 1: walks out onto the stage and Knight wants security to
Speaker 1: check Darby to make sure that he doesn't have any
Speaker 1: weapons on him, which, you know what, I would check
Speaker 1: him too. I don't trust this guy. So Darby opens
Speaker 1: his coat. He didn't have anything on him, so he
Speaker 1: tells Darby come on down to the ring, and before
Speaker 1: Darby could even begin making his trek down to the ring,
Speaker 1: a bunch of Pyro explosions go off. It's like what
Speaker 1: happened with Jeff Hardy in WWE many years ago. Who
Speaker 1: is responsible for that bother? I don't even remember who
Speaker 1: was responsible in that angle? Was it Matt or See
Speaker 1: I'm punk right, it was one of those too. But
Speaker 1: I remember when Jeff Hardy got blown up by Pyro.
Speaker 1: Undertaker got burned by Pyro. But this was like a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of Pyro blasts that went off and he
Speaker 1: was trapped in the middle of it, and so Darby
Speaker 1: goes down and night he drags Darby to the ring,
Speaker 1: sets him upside down in a tree of woe in
Speaker 1: the corner with a chair by his face, and he
Speaker 1: goes coast to coast delivers a drop kick into the
Speaker 1: chair into Darby's face. And so this was like a
Speaker 1: serious injury angle here and aw medical came out Sting's son,
Speaker 1: Sting Junior, Stephen Borden. He was out there. He's been
Speaker 1: training with Darby, living with Darby, so he came out there.
Speaker 1: They put a neck brace on Darby, they loaded him
Speaker 1: onto a stretcher, they took him to the back. After
Speaker 1: a break, we got a replay of the attack. It's
Speaker 1: such a small thing, but I will say I like
Speaker 1: that they did not They don't always do that on
Speaker 1: this show. The pace of this show is so manic
Speaker 1: and it is so just frenetic. They will shoot like
Speaker 1: a serious angle, and then they'll just go right into
Speaker 1: the next one, or they'll go to a break, they'll
Speaker 1: come back and again it's just onto the next And
Speaker 1: they don't either let things breathe or they don't drive.
Speaker 1: And I don't need fifty million replays, but like, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna do a serious injury angle and you come
Speaker 1: back from the break, you should show a replay of
Speaker 1: what just happened. It's a minor thing. I feel like
Speaker 1: we don't get that a lot here on this show.
Speaker 1: So just to drive the point home of like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: Darby Allen just got blown up here. They showed it again.
Speaker 1: Now we come back live and Toni Shavanni on commentary
Speaker 1: says Darby had visible burns on his face, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the footage of him and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't see any visible birds. But they're in the
Speaker 1: back now and they're wheeling him on the gurney, and
Speaker 1: again Sting Junior is with him. Night shows up and
Speaker 1: Sting's son wanted to go after him, but Darby kind
Speaker 1: of reaches up and holds him back, and Night is
Speaker 1: taunting him and saying, you're not ready for it anyway,
Speaker 1: stay in your lane. Meanwhile, you could hear the live
Speaker 1: crowd in the arena channey. We can't I think they
Speaker 1: were channing. We can't see shit, So I guess they
Speaker 1: couldn't see what was going on here. And then if
Speaker 1: you could see through the smoke. Maybe this is why
Speaker 1: they were chanting that if you could see through the
Speaker 1: smoke in the arena, which was hard to do. Between
Speaker 1: that and then the pyro they gave Kenny Omega when
Speaker 1: he was coming out here for this main event, it
Speaker 1: was finally time for the main event, yet another trios
Speaker 1: match with the Fucking Callous Family, this time against Kenny
Speaker 1: Omega and the Young Bucks. As Kenny's music hit, he
Speaker 1: was about to make his entrance, the cameras following him
Speaker 1: right behind him in the back, Will Osprey shows up
Speaker 1: and two of them kind of get into it verbally.
Speaker 1: Security comes over Kenny's like take him away, So Kenny
Speaker 1: makes his way out to the ring. They kept this
Speaker 1: to ten minutes. Thank god, I didn't even think this
Speaker 1: need to go that long to get to the point,
Speaker 1: which was everything that came after the match. The match
Speaker 1: itself didn't really serve much of a purpose other than
Speaker 1: to get us to what happened after Omega closed it
Speaker 1: out with a v trigger at a one winged Angel
Speaker 1: on Jake Doyle for the win. That's really all you
Speaker 1: need to know. When the match was over, here comes
Speaker 1: Rapunkie Wece or RPG vis Is it urpgvice? Now? Is
Speaker 1: that officially their name? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Oh, there
Speaker 1: were Punkie fans out there. They come out with Lance Archer.
Speaker 1: They hit the ring to attack the elite and they
Speaker 1: set up a table outside the ring in front of
Speaker 1: where the announcers are Mark Davis. He drags Omega to
Speaker 1: the apron. Archer was about to double choke slam the
Speaker 1: Bucks when we hear Adam Copeland's music and Copeland comes out,
Speaker 1: he cleans house. Christian Cage is also coming out, but
Speaker 1: he's taking his sweet time coming down to the ring.
Speaker 1: The Bucks went to go super kick Trent Bretta. They
Speaker 1: ended up taking out Christian by accident. Copeland and the
Speaker 1: Bucks they got into a shoving match and then and
Speaker 1: they ended up going after the Callus clanned and they
Speaker 1: fought them all the way to the back. So the
Speaker 1: only one left alone in the ring now is Kenny Omega.
Speaker 1: He was about to speak. Will Osprey comes out and
Speaker 1: Omega said, you know he said that. Omega said earlier
Speaker 1: that he had something to tell Will after his match.
Speaker 1: And Omega said, all I have left to say to
Speaker 1: you is security get him out of here and Osprey
Speaker 1: called him a pussy. As Osprey was leaving, Omega told
Speaker 1: him to tuck his tail between his legs like the
Speaker 1: little English bitch that he is not very baby face leg.
Speaker 1: Osprey turned back around. He hit the ring. He got
Speaker 1: some shots off until two security guards pulled him back,
Speaker 1: which allowed Omega to take a cheap shot. He delivered
Speaker 1: a v trigger knee to will ospray here. Omega then
Speaker 1: took the mic and he told Osprey, I got one
Speaker 1: last thing to teach you. Drags him over to the ropes,
Speaker 1: takes him to the apron, and he delivers a one
Speaker 1: winged angel drew that table. I mentioned that they had
Speaker 1: set up outside. A one winged angel threw the table
Speaker 1: and he had the crazy eyes. He's sitting there on
Speaker 1: the ground like psyching himself up. Omega is they pretty
Speaker 1: well established tonight on this show. The purpose of all
Speaker 1: of this was to make it very clear that Kenny
Speaker 1: Omega in this scenario, he's the bad guy. Will Osprey
Speaker 1: is the one who is fighting from underneath. He's fighting
Speaker 1: the great Kenny Omega, the Kenny Omega who appears to
Speaker 1: be or in the process of being corrupted yet again
Speaker 1: by World champion and all the power and glory that
Speaker 1: comes with it. Right, you're no better than me. I'm
Speaker 1: the champion, I'm the great. What does he call He's
Speaker 1: got like fifty million nicknames, right, the best bout machine,
Speaker 1: the wrestling god, all this stuff that people call him.
Speaker 1: It's corrupting him. It's getting to his head. And Osprey
Speaker 1: has something to prove to himself. Now he has to
Speaker 1: go out there and he has to do it on
Speaker 1: his own. As Kenny Omega told them weeks ago, can
Speaker 1: you pull the trigger? Or it was John Moxley even
Speaker 1: that said that his mission is to go to Wembley
Speaker 1: improve all those people wrong. I don't need the death Riders,
Speaker 1: I don't need don Kallis, I don't need you. I'm
Speaker 1: going to England them in my home country. No Englishman
Speaker 1: has ever done this before. I got the weight of
Speaker 1: the world riding on my shoulders here, and I got
Speaker 1: a bad neck. I got a surgically repaired neck, and
Speaker 1: I'm going into the main event of this show in
Speaker 1: front of forty five thousand people and my only goal
Speaker 1: is to take that championship from you. That's it. And
Speaker 1: every promo he's cut so far, he's established what that
Speaker 1: means to him, right how much pressure he's putting on
Speaker 1: himself because this right here, everything revolves around this match.
Speaker 1: Everything revolves around that championship and him living up to
Speaker 1: the potential that Kenny Omega talked about in that promo.
Speaker 1: That sit down at the beginning of the show. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it really impressed me. But I saw the
Speaker 1: potential in you. Well, now it's time for him to
Speaker 1: put up or shut up and realize that potent. It
Speaker 1: all in it's a very simple story. I like what
Speaker 1: they did with them tonight, and also again it's good
Speaker 1: to get the Cope and Christian stuff in there. Even
Speaker 1: that still felt like an afterthought, but they had to
Speaker 1: do something. I mean that match again, that match really
Speaker 1: should feel like a bigger deal than it does right now.
Speaker 1: So you had to do something with them on the show.
Speaker 1: So they did the accidental shots to Christian. But they
Speaker 1: haven't done much honestly since that sit down, that tape
Speaker 1: sit down they did a few weeks ago. They need
Speaker 1: to fix their time management with these shows. That's my
Speaker 1: other takeaway from this. Either fix your time management. We're
Speaker 1: not talking about a five minute over run, seven minute
Speaker 1: overrun thirty five fucking minutes, So either fix that or
Speaker 1: just make it a two and a half hour show.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's crazy to me. How you know
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a two hour show. They advertise
Speaker 1: it as a two hour show, and it's not even like, oh,
Speaker 1: we got this great main event going on and we
Speaker 1: don't know when it's going to end, and then it
Speaker 1: goes like eight minutes. It's like, no, the show is
Speaker 1: formatted as two and a half hours. Why is it
Speaker 1: not listed as two and a half hours? Just just
Speaker 1: just make it official at this point, It's like Raw
Speaker 1: Raw is supposed to be two and a half hours
Speaker 1: on Netflix, so we know that going in. Sometimes it's less,
Speaker 1: which I appreciate. Thirty five minutes extra first show here
Speaker 1: which was not needed. Could always find something to cut.
Speaker 1: That was Dynamite. Next Wednesday they're going to be in Glasgow, Scotland.
Speaker 1: That's the go home Dynamite before all in London on
Speaker 1: the thirtieth. We have collision this Saturday. I guess there'll
Speaker 1: be a collision the following Saturday and that's it. Then
Speaker 1: we go into All In. I'll have all my predictions
Speaker 1: for the pay per view on the podcast coming up
Speaker 1: this weekend. Check you super chats out here and then
Speaker 1: we'll get you guys on out of here. Thank you
Speaker 1: for joining me and hanging out with me here on
Speaker 1: a Wednesday night. Again, I appreciate you guys, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate Noah for bringing the sound off sign here to
Speaker 1: Dynamite tonight. I did it was at the very end there,
Speaker 1: but I did see it there at the end of
Speaker 1: the show. Let's start here with Michael Mike from Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Well actually hold on Jersey authentic. Yes, I did see
Speaker 1: that bump. I actually saw it. While I was in
Speaker 1: the middle of doing TNT with JD last night. Somebody
Speaker 1: sent me a link to that bump that smart Mark
Speaker 1: Sterling took at the Ring of Honor show. I don't
Speaker 1: know why Ring of Honor. Oh well, I guess because
Speaker 1: of the pay per view this weekend. That's why I
Speaker 1: was like, why is Ring of Honor airing on a Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize there's a pay per view I think
Speaker 1: on Friday. But yeah, he was on the apron. I'm
Speaker 1: sure most of you saw it by now, but if
Speaker 1: you didn't, he was on the apron and Commander did
Speaker 1: that springboard drop kick like Jericho does in his matches,
Speaker 1: and or springboard kick, and he kicks Mark Sterling, and
Speaker 1: he takes this bump off the apron in such a
Speaker 1: way where he lands. It's not even enough for me
Speaker 1: to sit here and tell you that he landed on
Speaker 1: his He landed on his neck, but his body contorted
Speaker 1: and twisted in a way that he looked like a
Speaker 1: cartoon character. The human body is not meant to twist
Speaker 1: like that, and your head and neck is not meant
Speaker 1: to just like a fucking javelin, go into the ground.
Speaker 1: So his whole gimmick used to be he would walk
Speaker 1: around with a neck brace on. I hope he kept
Speaker 1: that neck brace because he's gonna need it. I hope
Speaker 1: he's okay. That was very, very scary anyway, Mike says,
Speaker 1: I normally listen to the podcast, but I am getting
Speaker 1: back surgery this morning or in the morning. Thank you
Speaker 1: for what you do well. I am wishing you all
Speaker 1: the luck in the world on that. That's pretty serious
Speaker 1: stuff there. I don't know what the back surgery is for.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was an accident or if
Speaker 1: you just have some back issues that you're trying to remedy.
Speaker 1: But I hope it all works out for you, Mike.
Speaker 1: I hope it all goes well. Thank you. Brother. Dried
Speaker 1: Chicken says it's good that Kenny Omega is healing it
Speaker 1: up against will Osprey to the point where you just
Speaker 1: want to punch Omega in the face. He is coming
Speaker 1: off like someone that you would want to punch in
Speaker 1: the face. I think he's doing a good job with that.
Speaker 1: Walter Pelasios with a nine ninety nine. Hey Walter, thank you,
Speaker 1: my friend. Happy Wednesday to you. Drive Chicken says Tekla
Speaker 1: should have an open challenge against a Stardom wrestler at Wembley. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't need that. The card's going to be big
Speaker 1: enough as it is. I don't need to see that
Speaker 1: on the show. You want to do it on the
Speaker 1: pre show, be my guest. We don't need that on
Speaker 1: the main card, unless they were to use that as
Speaker 1: a way to debut somebody knew like Kyrie. If Kyrie
Speaker 1: maybe he's going to sign with Stardom, have like a
Speaker 1: dual contract thing going on with them and aw and
Speaker 1: then I'll allow that. Love the Lord says fourth best
Speaker 1: Dynamite of twenty twenty six fourth best. What are the
Speaker 1: first three? Jay White should have won, Stephen or Steve
Speaker 1: Bordon Steve, but Steve Borden is on aw television in
Speaker 1: his debut. Do you think Callum Newman turns on Will
Speaker 1: Osprey at Wembley? I hope not. Callum Newman has had
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to do with any of this. I don't
Speaker 1: want Callum Newman to factor into the Wembley main event.
Speaker 1: I think that would be awful, So no, I have
Speaker 1: no interest in seeing that. And Dried Chickens says MJF
Speaker 1: will not interfere in the main event. He should ruin
Speaker 1: either Omega or Osprey's postmatch moment. I don't know that
Speaker 1: he's going to because we still have to get the
Speaker 1: singles match. I think we're gonna get a singles match
Speaker 1: with him and Androdda, and I feel like he's got
Speaker 1: to wrap that up first before we thrust him back
Speaker 1: into the world title picture. So we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: with him coming out of all in. Thank you, guys,
Speaker 1: I told you I was gonna get you in and
Speaker 1: out as quickly as I could. That was dynamite. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be live with you again on Friday night, we'll
Speaker 1: be talking about SmackDown Big Show. They're in Toronto, Kevin
Speaker 1: Owen in Canada, challenging with the WWE Championship against CM Punk.
Speaker 1: I know he's probably not gonna win, but I wish
Speaker 1: he would. Sammy's Ain, I'm sure is gonna fuck it
Speaker 1: all up. We'll find out together. And what else have
Speaker 1: they announced for SmackDown? I think they announced a bunch
Speaker 1: of other matches too, I just don't remember. I don't
Speaker 1: remember what they were. Oh, oh, Blake Monroe. That's right,
Speaker 1: Blake Monroe is making her debut against Julia. That's also
Speaker 1: coming up on Friday. Am I gonna see the Coyote
Speaker 1: Versus Acme movie? You bet your ass I will. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wait until the end of the weekend. Hopefully my
Speaker 1: local theater is showing it, and if they are, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna snatch up tickets for later in the week next week.
Speaker 1: I saw that last trailer. It looks like a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. It very much reminds me of who Framed
Speaker 1: Roger Rabbit, which was a very I mean, that was
Speaker 1: a very kind of revolutionary movie for its time. The
Speaker 1: whole mix of animated and live action This reminds me
Speaker 1: of that and I love that. So if it can
Speaker 1: be as fun as that movie, then this is going
Speaker 1: to be a thumbs up. I'm looking forward to and
Speaker 1: just think that this movie was not even supposed to
Speaker 1: see the light of day. David Zaslov was going, He's
Speaker 1: gonna personally push the delete button on this movie all
Speaker 1: for a tax break. Fuck him. Imagine working on a movie.
Speaker 1: However many months it took to make that movie, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you get paid for it. It's not like you work
Speaker 1: for free. But still you put your heart and soul
Speaker 1: into something. And then or maybe you're like a newer
Speaker 1: actor and you know this is going to be on
Speaker 1: your resume. You want people to see your acting work
Speaker 1: here in this film, and then it gets put on
Speaker 1: a fucking shelf, never to be seen. That's what almost
Speaker 1: happened with this movie. I hope a lot of people
Speaker 1: go out and buy a ticket and go support the movie,
Speaker 1: as I will be doing anyway. Be well, stay safe
Speaker 1: and come on back on Friday. We will do it
Speaker 1: all over again and hopefully do some be the booker
Speaker 1: for smack Down on Friday. Date out until then, Take care, guys,
