Speaker 1: What is going on everybody? A big win for the
US in the World Cup. For those of you who
have been paying attention to what has been going on,
I know many of you have big win for the
US over Bosnia. So it's a good night. It's a
Wednesday night, and I am glad that you are with
me for yet another Dynamite review. This Dynamite happens to
be coming after a pay per view, and there have
been many post pay per view Dynamites that frankly have
not been very good. Thankfully, this was one of the
better ones that they have done. But you'll notice there
was no review. I did not do a live review
for Forbidden Door on Sunday. I did do a full
review for the pay per view as part of the
Uncrowned Wrestling Show yesterday, which you can go check out.
But just some top line thoughts here, because again we
are coming out of this Forbidden Door show, which it
was nothing like Double or Nothing. Double or Nothing to
me is still we'll see we're only halfway through, but
to me, Double or Nothing is the pay per view
of the year so far. Double or Nothing was just
from top to bottom a tremendous show. Forbidden Door really
what put it over the top were the three as
they build them, the three main events of the show,
which were the finals of the Men's and the Owens,
the Men's an Owen Men's and Owen I don't even
know what I'm saying, the Men's and Women's Owen Hard
Final and the twelve man six on six cage match,
which I thought was fun and I enjoyed that more
than I thought I would. And the main event with
will Osprey and Swerve Strickland. Will Osprey going to Wembley
Stadium he will be challenging for the aw World Championship,
which I think everybody and their mother knew was going
to be the case. But those two guys, they have
chemistry for days. They went out there had a tremendous match.
My personal match of the night, though, I will say
the one that I enjoyed the most Mercedes Monet and
My World. My World, who was not even on the
show tonight. My World will be on Collision tomorrow because
Maya World is going to end up in the women's
Gauntlet match that Tony Khan is doing next week to
crown a number one contender for Tekla at Redemption later
this month in Montreal, so we will see Maya World.
Mayo World had a star making performance on Sunday. I
thought that match was tremendous, especially down the stretch and
the drama and the near falls and everything. I loved it,
and so that really is what helped put that pay
per view over the top for me. Also very happy
that Tony Khan, starting with Redemption, is going to be
doing these pay per views an hour earlier. So the
next show we'll start at seven Eastern pre show at
six pm. Of course all In is going to be
a little bit different because they're going to be in
the UK, so that's going to probably be a one
o'clock Eastern start would be maybe twelve pm for the
pre show, so that's going to be a whole different
ball of wax. But from Forbidden Door we get Dynamite tonight.
And on this Dynamite we had a World Championship match.
Why because Mjf's team lost to Team brisco on Sunday,
which guaranteed Mark Briscoe an aw World Championship match here
tonight on this show, and they opened the show with it,
and we would find out why that would be the
case because it was a show long angle that they
shot and I love it when they do that, and
it's smart to do that. It gives the fans a
reason to stick around for the entire two hours. MJF
and Mark Briscoe they went to war. MJF is still
the AW World champion. Kenny Omega wants next. MJF agreed
to give it to him under one condition, and that
condition is the same condition that he chose for the
match the Texas Deathmatch that he had a few months
ago with Hangman Adam Page, which is that if Kenny
Omega goes in there next week and it will be
next week on Dynamite, they're not waiting until redemption, which
is bullshit. I still have every expectation that we're going
to see this match of redemption, but next week they're
going to wrestle for the AW World title. If Kenny
Omega cannot beat MJF, and I remember how they phrased it,
if you can't beat him, or if he can't win
the championship, but if he can't beat MJF, he can
never again challenge for the AW World title. He will
fall into the same category as Cody Rhodes and Hangman
page two other members of the Elite, and they're doing
this match in Clearwater, Florida on the Beach Break episode
of Dynamite next week. That was the biggest surprise of all,
not even that MJF would select that stipulation. It was
the timing of the match. And I look at this
and I just say to myself, there is a literally
a pay per view coming up called Redemption. Kenny Omega
has been dropping many redemption mentions in his promos over
the last couple of weeks. There is no way, there
is no way that Kenny O in Montreal does not
challenge MJF for the World Championship or I suppose could
be defending that championship frankly on that show, But he
has to challenge for it on that show because that's
the whole point of him getting his redemption. His redemption
arc is him winning the belt back by finally beating MJF,
which is something that he has never been able to do.
And MJF made that very clear on the show tonight
that you're zero for two against me, buddy, You're about
to go oh for three. So I don't think that
whatever happens next week is going to be the end
of it. I'm looking in next week, frankly, I'm looking
at next week and I'm seeing some sort of finish
that gives Omega a win without him outright pinning MJF
and winning the belt. It could be a DQ it
could be some kind of screwy finish. Look, it could
be a time limit draw. We have seen MJF on
this very television program Russell will ospray in a match
that went of sixty minutes before. He's done this already
in a World championship match, you have a sixty minute
time limit. Who's to say that they don't go out
there next week and they don't have the marathon match,
no winner, nothing's been decided, and it extends out to
the pay per view. That's what I'm expecting. But that's
a major match for them to promote for next week show,
and again it was smart to keep people tuned in.
Kenny came out of the end of the show, he
cut this in passion promo and he accepted the chet,
which of course he was going to accept the challenge.
The Babyface coming out and saying, you know what, I
don't think I want to do this, not exactly a
Babyface promo, so they set that up well, I thought
for next week's show. Meanwhile, the actual main event in
Ring Maine event on this show was to decide a
brand new TBS champion. The championship has been vacant for
over a month. Tonight was the first ever survival of
the fittest match in an AW ring. We have a
new U TBS Champion and thy name is Hikarushida, the
former aw Women's World Champion. I am not a fan
of this. I was very disappointed by the outcome of
this match. I think there were better options to go with.
I'm sorry to all the Shida fans out there, but
she is the new TBS champion. And they also seem
to set up a future match, if not a future
program between Chris Statlander and Persephone, which I'm here for.
And to be honest with you, watching the match tonight
as the match progressed, and I'm a Persephone fan, but
I'm watching this match and I'm like, you know what,
if it's not gonna be Ami Nada, who is my
pick going into it? I would have loved to have
seen Persephone walk away with that championship and I'm kind
of bummed that it didn't work out that way, but
at least now we have an actual champion. The funny
thing is the entire reason that we had this match
in the first place to crown a new champion, because
Willow Nightingale got hurt and so they stripped her of
the championship back in May. Meanwhile, they've been airing vignettes
on TV promoting her return, and Fightful had a report
about a week ago saying that she's expected to be
back in July this month, And now we just so
happened to have a women's Casino Gauntlet next week on Dynamite,
where the winner will challenge Tekla Redemption for the championship.
My money is on Willow Nightingale to return in that
match next week and win and go on to win
the world championship at Redemption. I think there's a very
good chance that it's gonna be Willow Nightingale going into
the ring with Mercedes Bonett at all in to defend
that world title. But it begs the question if I'm right,
and whether she wins or not. But if she's back,
let's say next week, if Willow is coming back so soon,
was it a situation where they thought her injury was
more serious than it was. Maybe they thought she needed
surgery and she ended up not having surgery. Otherwise, it
doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any if we
assume that it's all on the up and up, and
that this wasn't a work from the very beginning, which
I honestly don't believe it was. I don't believe it was.
Can't discount the possibility that it was all set up
this way to get the belt off her without losing it,
just to get the world title on her. But assuming
that this was all legit, I can only imagine the
injury turned out to be less severe, because otherwise it
doesn't make any sense to take the belt off of
her if you weren't even going to cry a champion
until the beginning of July, and then she comes back
next week or in two weeks, you know what I mean, Like,
it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Speaking of
people coming back, one of the things that I really
liked about Forbidden Door was the return of Switchblade J
White now every single pay per view. I believe if
it was like he would go on social media and
he would post ready. He was teasing people for months
and every time we had a pay per view where
every single time there was a casino gauntlet, it's like, oh,
Jay White's gonna come back tonight, Tonight's the night that
Jay White return and he would never show up. And
he did the same damn thing on Sunday. But this
time it was for real and he actually came back,
and I'm very happy to see him back. He's been
snake bitten with injuries since he debuted here. I really
hope he can stay healthy. Came back on Sunday. He
was here tonight. He cut a promo, very good promo,
I thought, andrede aliedelo if you saw the pay per
view on Sunday. Out of the don Kallis Family, the
full babyface turn now has been completed. He made an
appearance on the show tonight. Darby Allen came out. He
wants next for Kevin Knight and the TNT Championship. Don
Callus says no, you and I say yes. It's only
a matter of when. Is that the redemption match? Do
they want to carry this out until Wembley? It's only
a matter of time, so they're setting that match up
for the future. Again, a lot of times these post
pay per view episodes of Dynamite, they fall flat. There
are people who don't even like major names, who don't
even show up on the show. They're beat up, maybe
they're injured. Tony Khan has said in the past like
sometimes on these pay per views, he knows that they're
going to go balls out, and so it's hard for
him to really book a Dynamite show not knowing who's
going to be available, like physically who's going to be available.
So that's part of the problem. But so many of
these shows end up being just a fucking bore compared
to like the adrenaline rush that you get coming off
this pay per view, this show here. I like the
way they opened. They opened with a World Championship match
and a big angle and actually there was an opening
segment that even came before the opening match that I liked,
which we'll get into. And so I liked everything they
did at the beginning. A lot of what was in
the middle was like, Eh, it was a mixed bag,
very much a mixed bag, but we got some good stuff. Again,
the Jay White promo and some of the key people
that you would want to see on the show, like
andrade Ja White. They made appearances Leo Rush. I know
some people don't like the Leo Rush stuff. I'm a
Leo Run I'm a black Heart fan. Sorry, not sorry.
And then they closed the show out with the six
way women's match and then the Kenney Omega promo. The
decision not as big as the Lebron decision many years ago,
but this was his version of the decision. So I
thought the way the show was structured was a lot better,
and we just had a lot more to sink our
teeth into on the show where this felt like az
and not just because we had a world title match,
but it felt like an important show. It didn't feel
like a throwaway like so many of these post pay
per view episodes tend to feel. Let's talk about this
entire thing from top to bottom. This is your aw
Dynamite review. It is the first day of July. It
is a hot day. I turned the AC off before
I went live, and I'm already regretting that decision. It
is still eighty two degrees here in New York. It
is expected to go up above ninety tomorrow and then
almost one hundred on Friday. So wherever you are, stay
cool and stay safe because this is very dangerous and
it sucks. But it's summer. This is what happens in
the summer. Uh, do me a favor. Hit that subscribe
button if you have not already done so, hit that
like button. We always have a goal that we try
to attain. We'll find out what that is here in
a moment. Let's spind this wheel and get this party
started here, shall we. Let's find out how many likes
we need to do. Be the booker, which is also
a struggle on Wednesdays sometimes Spin Spin, Spin, All right,
here we go. Four hundred and seventy five is the
goal for tonight. Where are we were at? Two forty nine?
All right, okay, that's the goal. Four hundred and seventy
five likes we'll get you be the booker. We got
the bonus supertat goal going in the chat pinned up top.
You guys know what to do, so move things along here.
And I said that there was a segment that preceded
the World Championship, meant that opened the show tonight that
I liked, So we'll start there. Dynamite came on the
air and the announcers welcomed us, and they pitched it
to footage from after Forbidden Door. They do this sometimes
where they'll they'll take us back to something backstage after
the pay per view that they record. So in this case,
it was Renee who was in the back to interview
Will Osprey who happened to come walking by. His face
was still caked in blood. He walks in with his lady. Yes,
he walked in with Alex Windsor by his side, and
Osprey said, man, words cannot describe what this feeling is
like him winning the owen Hart Tournament. John Moxley showed
up his locker room was right there. So all of
a sudden he appears out of nowhere, and so the
ladies depart. Now it's just the two guys. A few
weeks ago, Moxley said that he's starting to see it
in ospray. Osprey wants to know, what does you mean
by that? Moxley said that he who defines himself can
never know who he really. Why do I feel like
John Moxley when he's cutting these promos, He's getting this
stuff from like a fortune cookie. This sounds like something
I don't have to put a quarter in one of
those old machines and then like you know, like a
little ball pops out with a piece of paper inside
of the message in it. It's like Buddha or something.
He's always he has these, he has these little nuggets
of knowledge that he likes to drop on will ospray here.
It make himself sound smarter than he really is. He
goes this place, aw can be something great. This can
be the greatest sport in the world, even though it's
filled with carnes and backstabbers. It's up to them to
protect and preserve this craft. Moxley said that look, we
took a vote on it, and he pulled out a
death Rider's patch. I just had terrible flashbacks here to
the the aces and Eights, every the aces and Eights
and their vests they're cut. My god, let's let's let
let's not go back to that. But he pulled out
this little death Rider's patch and he, you know, hands
it over to Osprey. He says, if Osprey takes it,
he can ride with them, He can ride with Moxley anywhere.
Moxley hands the patch to him and he walks away.
Osprey is just staring at it. Right, pondering what he's
gonna do here, and he goes and starts walking down
the hallway and he bumps into Kenny Omega. So Omega
said that Osprey has no idea how proud he is
of him. Osprey cuts him off. He's kind of a dick,
to be honest with you. He goes, you're not my dad,
and he could also see Omega is eyeballing the patch
that Moxley gave to him. Says that just because you've
given up on yourself doesn't mean that I will. So
Omega takes exception to this. MJF. All of a sudden,
he walks out. It's funny because I'm watching this and
behind them you can see in the locker room there
someone's someone's arm. So it was MJF. He was just
standing there, wait, and he was just like eavesdropping. And
so now he walks out of the room and he
walks over to these guys. He's very amused by all
of this. Omega said that if MJF somehow survives Mark
Briscoe tonight, guess who's coming to knock on his door. MJF.
He looked right past Kenny, right at Osprey and He
told them, I'll see you at Wembley, Brev, see you there, Brev.
He walks off. Omega tells Osprey He'll always be his friend,
take care of yourself, and I'll see you on Wednesday.
I like this. I like this will Osbury taking the patch?
You know, the question is would he accept it? The
answer is yes, because they had a tag team match
later in the night and he already has it on
his tights. He's got the patch on his leg, on
the leg of his tights. So the question I have is,
and something that I have been talking about for a while,
is do they do a match before we get to
Wembley between Osbury and Moxley? Is like one final test
to see if he truly is ready and if he
truly has, you know, accepted all of the training and
everything that they have kind of ingrained in him over
these last few months. Is he truly ready to step
in the ring and challenge for the world Championship? And
at Redemption, you do Osprey against Moxley or do they
hold off on that and maybe they make Moxley Osprey's
first challenger coming out of all in, which is the
other way they could go with it. There's also a
third way, which is that there's a breakdown at some
point and the Death Riders are just inevitably going to
turn on will Osbury and try to kill him again,
and then we'll get another match that way and Osbury
will win. So there's a few different ways that they
could go with it. I'm partial to the idea of
they don't have to turn on him again. It could
be as simple as like one final test before he
gets to London. But again, I don't know exactly when
we're going to get the match. I have to imagine
we will absolutely get the match, so I guess for now,
he kind of, I guess, is a full fledged member
of the Death Riders. But we'll see where it goes.
They have put together a story here now as we
head into these next two pay per views that I
am interested to see where they're going to go with it.
And I wouldn't have said that a year ago when
it came to the Death Riders. I was done with
the Death Riders when they didn't break them up coming
out of all in you know, it worried me because
I mean, they had just dominated the show so much
and it was just such it's like, one of the
good things about Moxley having the Continental title now, which
I don't give a shit about, but him having that
belt as opposed to the World Championship is so much
better because under Continental rules you don't have the death riders.
They're interfering in every single one of his matches, right,
nobody is allowed at ringside, nobody can interfere. So when
Moxley is out there, we're getting these just straight singles matches,
which is a big relief compared to what we were
getting a year ago, year and a half ago. So
but here we are now, and I find myself interested
to see where they're going to take this story. Now,
look what they did here in this opening segment. They
teased a couple of different things. They teased Omega and Osprey,
they teased MJF and Omega, and they tease MJF and
Osprey And I sit here now and I rack my brain, like, Okay,
assuming they put the championship on Kenny and it's not
going to be MJF in the main event at Wembley Stadium,
what do you do with MJF on that show? And
like I said on TNT last night, the match that
right now. If he's not in the World title match,
the match that would make the most sense I think
would be him and Androte on the undercard. But if
we're being honest here, MJF needs to be in that
main event. There's really no reason for him not to
be in that main event. Him and Androti are gonna wrestle,
and I actually think Arena Mexico is the best place
for it. And it doesn't even have to be for
the championship. Who's to say that the title has to
be on the line, right, but what an atmosphere it's
going to be in that building. The problem is the
Grand Slam Show is the beginning of August, so if
he loses the belt next week, or if he loses
the Belt of Redemption, he won't be the champion, but
you can still do the match. So we have to
get that at some point, and that's going to be
tremendous stuff. But this entire year, all of twenty twenty
six so far, MJF has been in the championship picture,
whether as the champion or the challenger. He has been
in all of these pay per view main events. He
has been carrying this company. They have a lot of
great wrestlers, but MJF is one of the few actual
draws that they have, and you got to believe that
he knows that, and Tony Khan knows that, and everybody
else knows it too, and he's all over the show tonight.
That tells you right there they know that he is.
He is their big draw and attraction on the show.
You could tell by how many segments they have devoted
to him. But all year long, from the beginning of
the year against Brody King, to the stuff with Kenny Omega,
to the stuff with Darby Allen, and now to this
stuff with will Osprey and Omega again and androde and
all of these other people that are coming after him.
It's been the MJF show. How do you not include
him in the main event of the biggest show of
the year. A three way match would actually make a
lot of sense. And I know Tony Khan doesn't do
too many of them. He's not like a big triple
threat guy or anything like that. But MJF, Kenny Omega,
will Osprey headlining all in all in the same match together,
that would seem to make a lot of sense to me.
But a lot can change in these next two months
and maybe a month from now, it won't make sense
and it'll make more sense to do one on one
ome again, Ospray. I'm just telling you as I sit
here right now, everything revolves around these three men. So
a three way match with all of them involved, that
would be. If the option is to either leave MJF
out or do a three way, then you do a
three way. That's what I would do now. They opened
after this it was the World Championship on the line,
MJF putting his title up against Mark Brisco because Brisco
earned the win Team Briscoe did in the cage match
on Sunday, and so we ended up here with this
championship match. And again after this match was over, we
would learn why they would do this at the beginning,
because I know some people were complaining, why are they
opening the show with this? First of all, they did
that with the MJF and Roosh match a few weeks ago.
My first thought was, Okay, there's a World Cup game
starting at about eight o'clock when Dynamite was going on
the air, and maybe Tony was like, all right, better
to do this at the beginning of the show and
not wait too long until they get deeper into the game.
But the real reason they did it is because they
had to the set up the angle at the end
of the show. You had to get this match out
of the way first. Brisco bled early. I know, what
a shock. He's kind of taken the mantle over from
John Moxley. But MJF started biting at the bloody wound
from the cage match and he just opened up right away,
blood pouring down the man's face. Brisco pulled the table
out from under the ring. He tossed MJF into the
ring steps and then set the table up. He put
MJF on top of the table. He went up top,
but MJF quickly got off that frigging table and he
scurried up onto the apron and he tossed him down
onto the apron, landed right spine first on the apron.
Then he placed the table back under the ring. Big
heat from the crowd for that. After a break, they
fought on the outside. Briscoe attempted a j driller on
the exposed concrete because the mats had been pulled up.
Mjfow reversed out of that with a back body drop
he went for a tombstone on the concrete. Brisco, though escaped,
slammed him on the concrete. Brisco followed up with a
cactus elbow off the apron, which is hilarious. Actually, I
just watched earlier today with lunch the Sting cactus Jack
match from Beach Blast in nineteen ninety two, because on
the WCW channel they had put together a few weeks
ago a compilation of Sting matches from WW in nineteen
ninety two, which is just I mean, what a year
for that company in terms of like in ring and
the star power they had. There was so much good stuff.
This is part two. So months ago they put a
video up, like a three hour compilation. I think it
was the best of Sting nineteen ninety two, and that
was only part one. So I'm watching part two earlier,
and it's Stinging Cactus. He get the cactus elbow and
all the cactus jack trademark spots, and so here's Mark
Brisco doing a cactus elbow off the McK foley will
likely be doing a cactus elbow soon enough in aw
off the apron. Mark Briscow won't have to do it.
McK foley himself will be doing it. You just wait,
It's not going to be very much longer before we
see that on TV. So back inside, Brisco landed a
high angle death Valley driver for a close near fall.
He attempted a jade riller on the apron. MJF escaped.
They ended up back out on the floor. Brisco again
set MJF up on the table. This time he hit
a froggy bow off the top rope and connected and
it looked like JF. I mean, he got put through
that table. That thing exploded upon impact. He sent MJF inside,
He covered him and then MJF was able to get
his foot on the ropes. So Brisco hits another froggy
bow and then he hits the j drailer and I
was like, oh man, because I knew, you know, it
was only gonna be for a near fall. And so
sure enough, you know, MJF kicks out. He's protected that
move ever since his brother died. I don't remember offhand
if anybody else is kicked out of it. It's possible
somebody has, and I'm just not thinking of them, but
I'm not sure it's been largely protected since then. So
I thought maybe he would tease it, he would go
forward in this match, but since he's not winning the match,
he won't actually hit it. I feel like it's one
of those moves that should be protected, you know, like
in WWE, if the fucking end of Days for Baron
Corbin can be protected for so many years, you can
protect the Jay Driller. There is just certain moves I
feel like that should be shielded from being kicked out of.
So I was like, eh, I don't know if I
would have done that, but he kicked out of the
j Driller, dragged the MJF to the corner. He set
up for an avalanche Jy Driller, MJF escaped and after
some pen attempts, he delivered a heat seeker and he
won the belt clean as a sheet right in the
middle of the ring. MJF is still the aw World Champion.
They had a good match. They had a good match.
All the insanity though that we just saw in the
cage match on Sunday. This was a come down from that.
So yeah, he was bleeding and he did the froggy bow.
That was a big spot, you know, down through the
table and everything. But again we saw so much, so
much more in that cage match on Sunday that it
was like, okay, we just saw a match like this,
but with ten other people involved doing stuff that was
far crazier than what we got here. So this was good.
This wasn't anything that I would put, you know, up
there his match of the Year or anything like that.
But they had a good match. But again, part of
what also I heard it is that there was no
drama about what the outcome was going to be. We
literally just had a segment to open the show where
they were already overlooking Mark Briscoe. You know, Kenny Omega's
telling him like, if you get past brisco tonight, I'm like,
all right, cut the shit, you know what I mean.
So everybody already knew how this was going to end
before the bell rang, so there was no real drama
with the near false. After the match, MJF took Briscoe
and he punched him in the head with the Dynamite
diamond ring. He shoved some officials around as they came
in to try to get him off of brisco He
was teasing that he was going to attack him yet again.
Before he could, though, Kenny Omega he ran out to
make the save Omega got on the mic. He'd challenged
MJF tonight to another match, because since you're so fond
of ladders and tables and rings, let's do it tonight
in the main event. So MJF said that it was
bad enough he had to come to California to wrestle
a white trash hick. But he couldn't believe that Omega
thought he deserved another title shot after he beat him
the last time. So he refused the match, and he said,
Omega is no god, he is a fraud. He's already
beaten him twice. And he kicked out of the one
winged Angel, kicked out like it was nothing. But suddenly
he had a change of heart. As he was walking out,
he stopped. He had an epiphany, and he turned around
and he says, I got a great idea. He'll wrestle
Kenny Omega next week, but under one condition, and that
is that if MJF wins, the same thing happens to
Kenny that happened to his friend Hangman Adam Page, which
is where he can never again challenge for the World
Championship in aw same stipulation. So he gave Omega until
the end of the night to make a decision, and
I thought, well, that's an interesting little wrinkle. And I'm
not talking about the stipulation. I'm talking about the timing
of this match, because I don't put it this way.
I think most of us were expecting this match. Nobody
was expecting it next week. And immediately my mind begins racing, like, Okay,
you've got this Redemption pay per view coming up in Montreal.
There's no way that Kenny Omega is not in the
main event wrestling for the World Championship. How are they
going to come up with a finish to extend this
out to the end of the month. That's really the
only question. And like I said at the beginning, are
we looking at a dq? Were looking at a count
out would be so fucking lame. But are we looking
at some sort of and it doesn't even have to
be a time limit draw. There could be something where
they brawl off and do some kind of big spot
and the referee calls for a stoppage, or they both
failed to make it back in time, they're just kind
of brawling. Well, look, the show is Beach Break next week,
and if they don't take advantage of where they're going
to be They're going to be right by the water,
Like I'm actually really looking forward to what this show
looks like next week. I'm just happy they're finally doing
a beach break show from the fucking beach or a
beach like location, because this is a company that in
the past has literally done beach break shows in Chicago
in January, and I'm like, why the fuck do you
even bother with it if you're not going to try
to create an atmosphere that fits the theme of the show.
And so they're finally doing that. Who's to say that
Omega and MJF don't brawl into the fucking water or something.
Remember when alse Though and Bob Holly brawled into the
Mississippi River. Maybe we get something like that and there's
no winner and they have to run it back again,
and I don't know if they would run it back
with the same stipulation, but maybe they run it back
again at Redemption. That's the only thing I'm trying to
wrap my head around and try to figure out how
do they get out of this so they can do
it again, because to blow it off next week makes
absolutely no sense, right, So that's really the only question here,
But that's a big match for them now to promote
for next week's show. You know, the goal here is
to keep people tuned into the television show, So how
do you do that? Use your big guns, use your
biggest names. The aw world title should not be defended
on this show every single week. They don't need to
be making a habit out of this. We just had
a title match tonight, we got another one next week
all of a sudden So that's something that you can't
be doing every single week. But I have to assume
it's an angle that's going to lead to the main
event of the next pay per views, So it's fine.
So after this backstage, Renee asked MJF about his big
win and are you prepared if Kenny Omega accepts your
challenge for next week? MJF addressed androte, now, I want
to stop here for a second. I want to point
out to you that we are only talking about the
third segment now on this show. MJF has been in
all three segments. He was in the opening segment backstage,
he was in a world championship match, and he's in
this segment here and he wasn't done yet. So you're
gonna tell me that he isn't the big attract, and
not just because he's the champion. You canna tell me
he's not the big attraction. And Tony Khan doesn't realize
that MJF is his guy. Title or no title, MJF
is his guy. That's why MJF belongs in the main
event at all. In nothing else really makes sense. Him
in a random undercard match doesn't really make any sense.
But he addressed Andrade first. He said revenge is coming
for him and he won't even see it coming. Then
he ran down the list of all the names that
he's beaten over the years, including Cody Rhoades. He snuck
his name in there on that list because why not.
I was gonna say, why not put the WWE champion
on there? But he ain't the WWE champion right now,
at least not for a few more days. And Kenny
Omega was on there twice because he has beaten him twice.
He then addressed Omega. He said he doesn't have to
worry about him because he was literally gutless. I laughed
at that. I'm sorry, I thought that was funny. Literally gutless,
and he would not accept his challenge. Will Osprey walked
up and confronted Max. Said, Max is gonna break his
neck sucking himself off like that. It's quite the visual
one that I did not need. He said, why why
that stipulation. MJF said, It's because I'm the champion, so
I called the shots, and he says he'll see Osprey's
pale ass at Wembley Stadium. They're doing a good job
of building the tension between these two so much so
that I want to see them in the ring. Trep
Bull Thrat, Trep bull Thrat, Trip bull Thrat, make it happen.
Winston says, could MJF have a realistic match with guntherro
Why the hell not? Why would he not be able
to have a realistic match with gun through He can
have a realistic match with anybody on that roster. He
can have a realistic match with anybody on any roster.
The answer is yes, of course, and it would be great.
In the arena, Tony Schavani was on stage and he
introduced androde l Idelo walked out there and he said
that he was done with the don Kallis family and
it was time to beat MJF. And become the AW
World champion. People in the crowd were chanting, how you know,
how you know? Catching on man? So he looked in
the camera he goes, how you know? Then he got ambushed,
so apparently he didn't know. He didn't know the ambush
was coming from the don Kallis family and they dragged
him to the ring. Brian Cage, who looks as massive
as ever. Somehow, I don't know, he keeps getting bigger.
He keeps getting bigger, this guy, you know. I do
have to say, I do have to say one thing.
I didn't see the entire interview yet. Brian Cage sat
down with Chris van Vliet, and I did see part
of the interview where he had like a belt sitting
there that he had made, I think a couple of
years ago, like a big band belt, and he was
talking about what the concept was behind it. And he
hasn't been allowed or able to use it in AW yet.
But if you remember the last time we saw him
on the show last week or the week before, he
had I think a medal around his neck because he
had done some sort of fitness or bodybuilding competition recently.
And so he's just on the show, he's got the
metal around his neck and this is This is not
to say the WWE doesn't allow their talents to do
stuff like I think Tiffany Stratton is either is or
was in training recently for some sort of fitness competition. Oh,
I was not expecting that death Sithe activating Bremode. Thank
you death sythe But I do like how, like you know,
some of these guys are allowed to just go out
and do stuff like that and then bring the shit
with them on television. They're gonna be an independent contractor.
Well you may as well actually treat them like independent contractors,
which they're still not true independent contractors, but a lot
of them do go out and do kind of outside
things like that that maybe they wouldn't be allowed to
do if they want other places. So he's been doing
a whole bunch of different of different things, and so
he's doing these competitions and he is, he's fucking gigantic.
I always just look at him and I go, man like,
he's another one who's been snake bitten with injuries for
whatever reason, and hopefully he can stay healthy because I
do feel like he still has yet to have a
real proper run in aw if Tony Kahm wanted to
give him a decent push like he was doing with
Mark Davis right now. Unfortunately, he's dealing with visa issues,
so we haven't seen him in a month. Hopefully they
get him back soon. This could be an opportunity. Now,
you know, they kicked on Rode out, Mark Davis is
out for the time being. Wardlow still isn't back. I
don't know what's going on with him. Who knows. Maybe
Brian Cage will get some sort of, you know, halfway
decent push. He's never going to get any sort of
significant push in this company, but yeah, he's got to
stay healthy. But he's out there. He's just fucking massive.
And so anyway, he's posing as Don Callus gets on
the mic, and Callous is mocking him and making fun
of him, and they end up announcing, by the way
that on Collision, which is airing tomorrow, we are going
to get a match between Androde and Brian Cage. So
Brian Cage is going to be defeated by Androde tomorrow. Again,
not much of a push. I'm just saying, like I
liked it when he and Lance Archer were together for
that period of time as the Murder Machines. I'm like,
all right, that's a cool team. It's a cool name.
We don't get a lot of team names like that
these days. But again, I think he got hurt and
I think Archer got hurt too, So somebody got hurt.
I don't know if they're going to put them back together.
Maybe that's a good role for him to be in
instead of just being on his own as a single
I don't know, but anyway, callous he told his men
get Androde out of here because Kevin Knight has a
match coming up for the TNT Championship. And so it
was Kevin Knight defending the TNT title against the Blackheart
Leo Rush, who came out with a backpack. When the
match starts guarded, Knight opened the backpack very carefully. He
didn't want to repeat of what happened on Sunday. I
think it was Darby's. They all came out, all the
members of Team Briscoe came out with backpacks, and every
backpack had something different in it except Takeshtis, which which
had nothing except he pulled out the middle finger, which
I thought was great. But the big spot in that
match was Kevin Knight climbing to the top of the cage.
There's a backpack up there, and he's going through it
to see what's inside, and it explodes in his face.
He falls through the table down below. So he's treading
very carefully as he's opening this thing, and he pulls
out a blackened version of the Ring of Honor television
title because Leo Rush just won the Ring of Honor
TV title a few weeks ago, and whatever they did
to it looks like it was burned in a fire.
It's like just it's completely just blackened now. And he
was distracted by this and he's looking at Don Kallis
outside or whoever it was he was looking. He got
rolled up and almost got pinned here by Leo Rush.
Jake Doyle maybe he was looking at Jake. Jake Doyle
was out there. He pulled Night out to ringside to
give him a breather. Leo did that creepy gallop that
he does into a low suicide dive. Later on in
the match, Doyle he caught Leo diving off the top
out to the floor, but he got sent into the
ring post. But this did give Night the opening that
he needed, and he ended up putting away with a
putting the match away with a stout power bomb and
then the rock Bottom. I don't know if he has
a name for this, but the urinagi for the win
didn't go very long. He was kind of selling a
knee injury. I think coming out of the cage match
on Sunday was Kevin Knight again. The Blackheart stuff is
not going to be for everybody. Your mileage will vary
on what Leo Rush is doing right now. I like it.
I find it amusing, kind of in the way I
find Dan Housen amusing in WWE, although I do worry
about over ex bosure. Gotta be careful with that. But
every single week again you listen to these crowds and
they're chanting Leo Rush, or they're chanting Leoh Leah. Right,
the gimmick is over. More people now are talking about
Leo Rush and chanting his name than they ever did
when he just came out there as plain old Leo Rush.
That's all I'm saying. His part in that cage match
was one of my favorite parts of that entire show
on Sunday, when they unzipped the bag and he came out.
He popped out of the bag and everybody popped and
they did some comedy spots with him and then stuffed
them back in the bag. He's great, he's committed to
the gimmick. I enjoy it. I understand if not everybody
is going to. But I am very happy that Tony
Kahan has been giving him consistent television time. When he
started doing this, and this is something he was doing
on the indies previously, but when he started doing this
on television Collision, I said, man, this could get over.
He gotta get him on the show consistently. And he's
done that, and he got a spot in one of
the main events on Sunday on the pay per view.
Just keep doing it. He'll get more and more over,
a little bit more and a little bit more each week.
I'm happy. I'm happy for him. He's doing a hell
of a lot better now than he would have been
doing a year ago. Nobody would have been talking about
Leo Rush a year ago in this company. When the
match was over, Darby Allen walked out onto the stage.
He told Kevin Knight he wanted a shot at the
TNT Championship. If Knight says no, he says, what happened,
I forbidden door will keep happening. So Knight said, look,
I'm tired of dealing with your jackass stunts. He was
about to accept, and Don Callus pulled the mic away
from him, and Callus said that the stunt that Darby
pulled that nearly killed Kevin Knight, that crossed the line.
He crossed the line from wrestler to criminal at that point,
and the Callous family does not reward criminal behavior, so
he will never get a title shot so long as
Don Callous has a say so. The same fucking stipulation
that we were just talking about with the world title
at the beginning of the show. I think I think
we gotta we gotta cool it a little bit with
the stipulation. Darby at that point had a big smile
on his face and he said that Knight just dug
his own grave, and Callous was screaming that you should
be in jail. You're a criminal, you should be in jail,
and that's how they left it. Uh, they're gonna do
this your redemption. Darby's gonna get his match. I don't
know if they're gonna put the TNT title on him.
I hope not. You know, he just had the World Championship.
What the fuck does he need the TNT title for.
He's already had it twice before. Anyway, Kevin Knight is
the one who they are trying to elevate. I don't
see any reason. I know, I know people are gonna
look at it and go, well, Darby has to get
his revenge. He's like, eh, does he does? He? Though
hopefully at the end of all this Kevin Knight is
still in possession of that belt. I think anything else
would be a mistake. They aired footage it's it's like
Big Show. It's a Big Show all those years ago.
I have footage when he won the Rumble that year.
I have footage see in today's world. You know, that's
a very unrealistic segment, because if it were a twenty
twenty six segment, there would be no physical media the
Big Show would have. They're phasing out all of the
physical media, PlayStation, Xbox. It's very sad. They're not phasing
out Chris Jericho though he's still around, and so they
showed footage of him tapping out J. D. Drake on
collision and using him. Tony Schavani to send a message
to Tamaso Champa, forcing them to say that he was
better than Champa, which they did. So now we go
backstage live. Champa was being interviewed by Renee when Jericho
ambushed him. There was a trash can that just flew
in from off camera from out of nowhere, hit him
right in the head. So they brawled outside into the
parking lot, where officials tried unsuccessfully to stop them and
to pull them apart. Next week on Beach Break, these
two were going to have a match. They announced this
a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if there's
any stipulation attached to the match, but they are going
to have a match next week. And look, this is fine.
You know, like Jericho, he had the feud with Ricochet,
now he's having a feud with Shampa. This is what
you would expect Jericho and hope Jericho would be doing,
because what's the alternative another faction Jericho challenging for a championship.
Nobody wants to see that. Jericho having matches with people
that he's never worked with before is perfectly fine. You
don't have to be a huge fan of the feud,
but I would much rather he be doing this than
the alternative. We go backstage Renee, who had a very
busy night, she walked into the Elite locker room. She
found the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega deep in discussion
here about what choice Omega would be making later in
the show. Has he made a decision yet? Matt Jackson
said that two Elite comrades have already fallen to this stipulation,
those being, of course, Cody Rhodes and Hangman Adam Page.
While Nick Jackson said Kenny's got this, Omega said he's
not made his decision yet, said that if you can't
challenge again for the world title, what's left for him
to do? When Omega looks back on his first reign
as champion, he says he needed help, he had to
go to a dark place to get it done. So
if he takes this match, he wants to do this
on his own, and the Bucks say they support him
no matter what he decides. Yeah, I saw, I saw,
I saw the PlayStations there. It is bullshit. It is bullshit,
aren't they When GTA six comes out, aren't they selling
a physical box? And when you open the box, there's
like a code inside you're buying a box. Basically, it
sounds so preposterous. Ah, it's just so ridiculous. Will Osprey
and John Moxley. They were tag team partners tonight against
your favorite team, everybody, your favorite flavor of ice cream,
the Swirl, still one of the most horrendous names in
all of wrestling. Blake Christian and Lee Johnson with Jay
Lethal in their corner. Marina Shaffir at one point during
the this match, gave Lethal a suplex. I think it
was a t bone. She tea boned? Did I think?
On the floor, Blake Christian, he's springboarded into the ring.
Osprey shoved Moxley out of Harm's way and caught Christian
on the way down with a cutter, which led to
Moxley and Osprey hitting a stereo paradigm shift hidden blade
combo for the wind. Hey, Randy, Bobandy, no message, just
showing love with a nineteen ninety nine Randy is He's
in like a competition here with death Site tonight. This
is better than Omega and Osprey, These two going out
it here tooth and nail. Osprey had the death Rider
patch on his tights right by his his right thigh,
so he is wearing it for how long? Is the question?
When does this implode? We all know it's going to
It's only a matter of time. Post match, we had
comments here from I think this was recorded on Sunday
backstage with the still aw tag team champions Adam Copeland
and Christian Cage, and Christian asked like, what the hell
is the deal with Jay White? Copeland said he owed
him a favor and they're even now. Christian said that
before Jay White collected a paycheck sitting at home for
a year, Christian had a serious problem with him and
he still does. So then Christian walked away and he
left Copeland alone with Renee, and Cope was like goodbye,
and the fans in the arena left. Copeland, by the way,
is going to be tagging with Jay White and his
crew on Collision tomorrow against Shane Taylor Promotions. I assume
they're taping Collision tonight. I mean, I don't think they
say Collision Tomorrow is live, So I want to say
they're taping it tonight. I believe. And we just unlocked
the bonus be the Booker goal thanks to Randy Bobandy.
He put us over the top, like a beast. Thank you,
Randy Bonus be the Booker. Now, where are we on
the main goal? That's the question. I don't have it
in front of me. I shall check. I shall check
really quickly for you. We're still behind three sixty three,
four seventy five, so we only need a little over
one hundred more likes? Can we get a hundred more
likes to get us to where we need to be?
You figure that out. I'm going to let you know
what happened next, which is it was time to breathe
with the switchblade. He's back finally. It only took a
year plus to get him back, but he's back and
he was out next with the rest of the Collision Cowboys.
Here Juice, Robinson, Ace Austen and the guns. It was
four hundred and fifty nine days away from him. We
had four hundred and fifty nine days with no j White.
Mystic Jay is mystified by the fact that we are
getting a Bonus be the booker on a dynamite stright.
I know it's crazy, it's crazy. I'm telling you, man.
Nobody gave a shit going into Forbidden Door. Nobody gave
a shit now the Forbidden Door is in the rear view,
and we are heading into this first ever redemption pay
per view, heading into Wembley businesses. Feels like it's starting
to pick up. This is what I have been waiting for.
Put that in the rear view and let's get to
what matters here. And I feel like now we're finally
entering that territory. But he said a lot can change
in four hundred and fifty nine days. It seemed like
the people hated and couldn't stand the day Riders, but
now they like them, and they also love that fraud.
But he's not here to talk about him, Billy. He
didn't expound upon why will Osprey is a fraud. Just
because the hardcore diehards know and the new japan fans know,
it doesn't mean that everybody else knows. He said, he's
out here to talk about Austin, Gunn, Colton, gun Ace,
Austin and Rockhard, Juice Robinson and the Switchblade. Now he
also has a question, and he's going to say it properly.
Who let the dogs out? And everybody in the crowd
they barked, when did that song come out? I know
that that was the song for the Mets that had
to be ninety nine or two thousand, that's how old
that song is. It was one of those two seasons
for the Mets that they played that just NonStop, that
fucking song. Just it lives, rent Free and head. Of course,
he's also talking about Clark Conners, Gabriel Kid or no
Gabriel Gabrielle Gabrielle Kid, and his good friend David Finley.
They both entered the new Japan Dojo at the same time.
They trained together, they even learned each other's tricks. But
things change. Finley was born into this business fourth generation,
but it doesn't change the fact that Finley is still
just a NEPO baby bitch boy. There's another NEPO baby reference.
How many NEPO baby references are we up to this
year in wrestling and promos? Too many? But Finley's only
been here for four months and the stench has lingered
on for far too long. So someone has to get
rid of that, and why not? The Switchblade says Finley.
What happened to you at Forbidden Door is going to
keep happening if you want to get in my way
and dogs, and for that matter, anyone else who wants
to step up to us the Collision Cowboys and the
Switchblade have two words for you, guns up, and everybody
did the chant. They were super over here. Everybody was
doing the Chapman. They were very happy to see Jay
White back. I thought this was a good promo. And
again I just I put my hands together here and
I pray to the wrestling gods that this man can
stay healthy, because if he can stay healthy, he can
contribute a lot, and there are some great matches that
he can partake in, and so let's hope. Let's hope.
I don't know. Six months from now, I don't know
what Jay White will be doing. I mean, the roster
is so loaded. He can be anywhere on the card.
They have so many championships, I mean, take your pick.
He could be competing for any of them. Is he
going to be a heel? Is he going to be
a babyface? Right now? He's a babyface. Obviously. The next
match to do is him against David Finley. I would
think that that we're going to be getting that match
very soon, one on one, but because they're both part
of a group, you know, we'll get some sort of
tag match along the way. But the match to do
is going to be Findley and j White one on one.
They closed the show in terms of in ring with
the six way Survival of the Fittest Match crown a
new TBS champion. We are guaranteed to have a new
champion here on this show. Chris Statlander, Hey, Karushita, Persephone,
Harley Cameron, Queen, Ami Nada, and Micah representing Stardom. She
picked up a win over sky Blue. They had a
qualifying match on the pre show on Sunday, so she
stuck around for a few extra days before she flies
back to Japan, and so they wanted a little bit
of more extra international flavor. I guess beyond Shida and
Persephone in this match, because she's the CMLL Women's World Champion.
So we got Micah. Now, as I said at the beginning,
the reason that we were even in this situation in
the first place is because Willow Nightingales supposedly got injured
and was forced to vacate her TBS championship. She was
pulled from the Owen which is how we ended up
with Mercedes Monet in there as a wild card entry,
which is probably why a lot of people think that
maybe the injury was a work and it was not
a shoot. And I can't sit here and tell you
that one hundred percent. I believe it was a shoot.
But given that she is supposed to be coming back
any week now, I don't know what to believe. I
tell you what I believe. I believe that we're going
to get her back in the Casino Gauntlet match on
Dynamite next week, and my pick to win is Willow Nightingale.
She hasn't even been announced for yet, but I'm gonna
throw that out there and say that she wins the Gauntlet,
she gets techlet redemption. That's my prediction on that Survival
of the Fittest. Originally, this was a concept that dates
back to two thousand and four in Ring of Honor.
It's nothing new, but it's the first time that we've
seen one on an AW show. They just did one
actually in May, I believe whatever was the Supercard Supercard
of Honor, whatever that Ring of Honor pay per view
was in the middle of May. I think it was
May fifteenth, and Athena defended her Forever Championship in a
Survival of the Fittest match, and of course she beat
everybody and she kept the belt, so This is the
first time we're seeing it in an aw ring. Pinfalls
and submissions only until one woman is left standing, so
basically notice qualification. Harley Cameron formed an alliance early on
here with Persephone that didn't last very long. Persephone snuck
up behind her when Harley had her back turned she
was on the ropes. She grabbed her under her her
arms and she dropped her and folded her up with
a razor's edge and she pinned her. So Harley Cameron
see you later. First elimination here of this match, Micah
and Sheda. They had a back and forth. She'da tried
to use her kendo stick, she doesn't leave home without it. Statlander, though,
grabbed it away from her. Persephone then grabbed the kendo
stick and she y Statlander off the apron to the floor.
So they were beefing pretty early in this match. Well,
I mean, we'll come back to the two of them
later on. Sheida used a referee distraction to roll up
Micah and pin her. That was the second elimination here
of this match. Ami Nada missed a double stomp to
Shida from the top rope, and Shida landed a running
knee strike. Ami Nada came back with a headbutt. Persephone
then rolled up Ami Nada as she was trying to
follow up with Sheida, and she stole the pin. That
was Persephone's second elimination here of this match, so that
left her, Chida and Statlander as the final three. A
dark Star, thank you, says the best stream in the IWC.
I like the sound of that, and Warhawks says, I
am promoting the stream all over the place. Please do
tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell everybody. I love it.
So we're down to the final three and Sida and
Persephone they joined forces to try to take down Statlander.
Statlander ended up taking them both down with the back elbow,
so there were a whole series of pen attempts here.
Statlander eliminated Persephone with a modified roll up, and that
took the wind out of my sales because once Ami
Nad I got pinned because I thought they were going
to give her the win. Ami Nod is another one
who unfortunately has been snake bitten with some injuries. She
had a neck injury late last year. I think I
think there was some other injury prior to that, but
the neck injury was severe enough that she ended up
missing many months, took her out of blooding guts, and
it sucked because she was getting she was getting a push,
She was getting a bit of a push at that time.
So I just thought, man, this would be a good
way to get her going again. You know, she's been
back a few months, but she hasn't done anything of
any note. And I feel like that TBS Championship could
really benefit someone who has not been a world champion.
It can benefit someone who is not in that upper mix.
It can help elevate a new talent in the women's division.
Why not Ami Nada? I just didn't think it was
gonna be persephone just because she has the CMLL title.
Maybe they don't want Maybe politically, there's a reason why
they wouldn't want to put a mid card belt on her.
If she's got the World Championship and another promotion, and
then maybe losing becomes an issue. You never know. I mean,
these companies, AW has these partnerships, but still there's a
lot of politics involved and who's winning and who's losing,
and they're very sensitive about that sort of thing. So
who knows. Maybe there was a political reason for her
not to win but if it wasn't gonna be Ami Nada,
I was kind of hoping it would be Persephone. And
when she got dumped and we were down to the
final too, I was like, Eh, now I'm pulling for Statlander.
It's Chris Statlander or Kyroshida here they were the final,
two former friends who have been feuding over the past
couple of months, although I think they had their blowoff
match a few weeks ago on Collision, maybe a month ago.
She'da planted Statlander with a Falcon arrow for a close
near fall. She'da went out to the Florida grab the
TBS belt. She attempted to use it, Statlander knocked it
away and Sheida applied an ankle lock. Statlander got to
the ropes, but she gets to the rope, but she's
kind of hanging out of the ring. And so here
comes Persephone, who never left ringside, and she flies by
like a drive by with the belt and she blasts
Statlander right in the head with the TBS Championship. Statlander
is out. Sheida drags her back to the center of
the ring. She reapplies the submission and she's out. So
the referee has no choice, but to call for the
stoppage and hand Hikarushita her very first TBS championship. She's
been world champion before, but she's never been TBS champion
until now. The match itself, I thought that it was solid.
It was not as good as the opening match, so
I thought it was solid. Persephanie was the standout for me.
I'm a big fan of her work. I think she
can be a really big player in that women's division.
She could be a player in any division really, But
once Amy Nada got bounced, I was really hoping she
would win, and so I just I wasn't thrilled with
the fact that they went with Chidah for the win.
Here doesn't do anything for me, and I don't think
it really does a whole lot for the TVs title.
And maybe she won't have it for very long. Maybe
she'll end up losing it to Chris Statlander. Maybe the
two of them are going to have a match at
some point, But it just feels to me like the
match to do now is going to be Statlander and Persephone.
I mean, I suppose after that they could get back
to Hida and Statlander, but it's not like it was
light in the World on fire the first time they
did it, so I don't really care to see them
revisit it. I'm down for a Statlander Persephone match though.
I'm all in on that, so that should be good.
But Sheida is champion. That just it doesn't do anything
for me, you know. I think they made the wrong
choice here. There were better options to go with, so
that was kind of a downer. I mean again, even Statlander,
who's been TBS champion before, even her winning the belt
back would have at least given her something to do,
or she could be defending the belt against Persephone. But
they went in a different direction with it, and in
my opinion, not a great one. Now, after a break,
Kenny Omega he was ready to give us an answer
for mjf's challenge, as if it was ever going to
go another way. Omega was about to make his entrance.
They had a camera on him, filming him from the
back and you can hear them play his music out
in the arena. Will Osprey shows up though, and he says,
cut it, cut his music. He told Kenny he wants
him to win the world title and wrestle. He wants
to wrestle him at Wimbley Stadium, But does he really
think this is a good idea? And Omega takes offense
to this, and he says, are you trying to tell
me that you don't think I can do it? Will says, well,
of course I believe in you, but I don't think
that you believe in yourself. So Omega told him he
was out of time. Is that at a time this
could be my last shot? What he's standing on right now,
this is my death ground. So he's gonna go out
guns blazing. Hopefully he's got Will's support. Osprey tells him, look,
you always have my support, and the two of them
hugged and they cued up Kenny's music again. He made
his way out to the ring by himself, and so
here we go. It was Kenny Omega show closing promo.
What's he going to say? What's he gonna do? He says,
believe it or not. He's done this for almost thirty years,
more than half his life. There's been no greater passion
or pleasure than stepping through these ropes and giving the
fans everything he's got, whether it be when he was
fourteen years old or forty two years old as a
broken down man, the fans still get the same one
hundred percent Kenny Omega. Every single time he's won titles.
He's broken records, records that may never themselves be broken.
He's had a career that he can look back on fondly.
But there's this selfish part about him that he knows
it's just not enough, a part of him that thinks
that there's still a little bit left in the tank.
That if he can believe, if will Osprey can believe,
if the young Bucks can believe, if all you people
can believe, we believe, we believe. Are we believing in
Joe Hendry anymore? Or has that? Has that pretty much died?
I feel like that's kind of died out. Hopefully he
can kind of rekindle that. Joe's a good guy, He's
a nice guy, but boy, boy, is he been cooled
off anyway. He's getting the crowd into it right, everyone
believes in Kenny Omega. Then he knows that he could
be a champion the fans can be proud of, and
he can go to Wembley Stadium representing aew where the
best wrestle, and where he can face Will Ospray and
all he has to do is put it all on
the line against MJF. If he fails, he will become
just like Cody, just like Hangman, just another man that
can never challenge for that belt again. And the question
is the cost too high? The answer he said is no,
you want me to put it all on the line.
Max says if he loses this time, we'll never see
him in a title match ever again. And boy wouldn't
that make MJF happy. But here's the one thing that
he hasn't considered. He's still the best bout machine, he's
still the cleaner, He's still, to somehow there the god
of pro wrestling. So is he going to accept his offer?
The answer is yes. So next week, bring the triple B,
bring yourself, and get ready to pass over what's belonged
to him since the last time they wrestled. And he
hits his closing line, you know, bid you ad do
and all this other stuff, only for MJF then to
ambush him from behind. And MJF was still in his
bloody gear from earlier in the show. He pulled out
the dynamite diamond ring. He went to go use it.
Omega double legged him to the mat security and referees.
They flood into the ring to separate these two Omega.
He breaks free, he jumps on the pile in one corner.
They get separated. Now it's mjf's tarrant to break free
and he dives on the pile in the corner and
then they separate them again. Rinse repeats. I've seen so
many of these types, the segments, thank you, death sith
and that is how the show went off the air.
So we got the decision from Kenny Omega, the big
baby Face makes the only babyface choice that there was
to make, which is yes, of course I accept your
challenge and you and I are going to wrestle for
the World Championship next week. And so we got a
big ass main event for Dynamite on the Beach Break
Show next week, and it just has to go in
a way that will lead to a rematch at Redemption.
There is no other main event that makes sense for Redemption.
The entire Kenny Omega story, the entire arc that they've
been telling with this man since he came back at
the beginning of the year and since he had that
last match with MJF and lost in Vancouver, is one
of redemption. That's why they He's mentioned the word redemption
in his own promos before. The entire pay per view
is set up for Kenny Omega to get his redemption
against MJF. For it to happen next week in Florida
and not in Montreal does not make any sense. So
they have to figure out a way to get out
of this and extend this out. And the logical way
to do it would be either a total non finish
or I guess this would be a non finish you
go to a time limit draw. Would they dedicate sixty
minutes of TV time to this one match? Well, let's
see what are they announced so far for next week.
They've announced MJF and Omega for the World Championship. They've
announced Jericho against Shampa. They've announced to Keshta against Kyle Fletcher.
They're doing that match next week for the International Championship.
And they're doing a women's casino gauntlet, And we don't
know how long the gauntlet. Mean, the gauntlet could be
over in two minutes, the gauntlet could go twenty minutes,
we don't know. But they're doing a gauntlet to crown
a new number one contender for the women's world title
at Redemption. That's a lot, and I don't see them
sacrificing because those are some big matches. I don't think
they're just gonna, oh, we run out of time, we'll
bump it off the show for next week. If we
assume we're getting all of this, I don't. I find
it hard to believe that Omega and MJF are going
to go the full sixty, but that would be one
way out of it, and that way we have no winter.
They got to run it back again at Redemption. I'm
not expecting a title change next week. That's too big
to be doing on Dynamite. We already had a world
championship change in April on Dynamite when Darby Allen beat MJF.
So having Kenny Omega beat MJF for the belt on
Dynamite doesn't make any sense at all to me. It's
more about how do they go about doing this finish.
But that's still a huge main event for next week.
Hopefully they will close the show with that and not
open the show with that. And I'm also again looking
forward to just seeing what this Beach Break show looks
like now that they're in an actual kind of outdoor
summer location. I don't know why it took them this
long to do that, but there's some big matches on
the show next week, so that's good. That's good. I'm
excited to see what they do with some of that stuff.
Collision tomorrow is a pretty big card, I mean in
terms of like how much shit they're stacking on there.
I mean, this is what the lineup is, androde against
Brian Cage. The Death Riders may be Claudio and Pack
taking on Shingo Takagi and Drella Maloney. A lot of
these talents are sticking around for a few extra days.
That's why they're going to be on these shows. Athena
is going to be wrestling. Is it Rena representing stardom?
Is that how you pronounce it? She's from stardom. The
winner of that match is gonna get the number one
spot in the women's Casino Galtland match on Dynamit next week.
Also Maya World, who is not on the show tonight,
but she will be on the show tomorrow. She is
going to be wrestling Julia Hart for the number two
spot in the gaulet, which means that we could very
well open the Casino Gauntlet next week with Athena and
Maya World. Teacher and Student could be one and two,
and honestly, looking at this, it should absolutely be Athena
in Myo World. Like it can't be anything else. You're
not gonna have Athena and Julia Hart. You're not gonna
have Arina in Maya World. No one gives a shit.
They want to see Athena and they want to see
Maya World. Those are the two that should open that
match next week. What else we got here? We got
Adam Copeland and the Bang Bang Gang are going to
be taking on Shane Taylor Promotions. Kyle Fletcher is wrestling
El Fantasmo and Speedball, Mike Bailey, Mistico and Bandido are
taking on the Rascals. That's a lot of shit on
Collision tomorrow, So if you are so inclined, show is
airing a couple of days early. The reason for this
is because there's some sort of new and that is
it boxing. It's some sort of new fighting league that
is starting and they're airing these events on some Saturdays
on TNT going forward. So there's going to be some
weeks where at least once, if not twice a month.
I think for the foreseeable future, Collision is probably going
to get preempted to Thursday and somewhere Carlos Silva is
just throwing furniture all over the place, because, if he
is to be believed, that is the reason why he
pulled those AW talents from those independent matches they were
having with T and A Stars a few months ago,
because apparently this is a declaration of war for me,
which of course it's a bullshit excuse, so just roll
with it. But I'm sure he won't be happy though,
because it is going to be more competition for impact.
But again, it doesn't sound like an AW decision if
they're airing this new Fight League on Saturdays and there's
not a whole hell of a lot they can do.
Is it boxing? It is? Boxing? Was the world asking
for another Boxingly we have Zoofa Boxing and now we
have whatever the fuck this is. I don't know boxing
was even still that popular. So those are your lineups
for the upcoming shows. A big improvement this show was
tonight over a lot of their recent post pay per
view dynamites, so keep it up. Hopefully they will improve
from here and I am genuinely looking forward to the
show next week. Now. The likes goal here for this
stream was four hundred and seventy five likes. We are
currently at four hundred and forty three. We're close. We're close,
but you're guaranteed one round regardless, because you guys have
been absolute monsters tonight with the gifted memberships which are
always welcome here, and the super chats, which I'm gonna
read right now, got a bunch of them to go through,
and then we got to be the booker, so we're
gonna have some fun here. I'd love to see it.
We'll start with death Sith who I think death Sith alone?
What is it? Twenty six channel memberships gifted here so
far Tonight says I think will Ospray should beat both
MJF and Kenny Omega at all in because it could
be Aw's version of Ben While winning the World Heavyweight
Championship of WrestleMania twenty and Daniel Brian winning the WWE
title of WrestleMania at thirty. It could be, but I'm
not even comparing it to anything else. I just think
logically it would make the most sense to have all
three of them in the ring together. All three of
them have had issues recently. All three I think belong
in the title match on that show. Most of all MJF.
He's put in the work this year. He's been their guy.
He belongs in the main event at Wembley Stadium, not
to win, but he should be in that match. Also,
he says, if I was asked about Oh, if I
was asked, how I would have booked theories money in
the bank, cash and talking about Austin Theory. Now it
was on Logan Paul's podcast says, I know people are
gonna laugh, but a wrestle Mini at thirty nine after
he beat Sena on night one and now he's over confident.
He comes out on night two, Cash is in during
the main event. You lost me, brother, you lost me there,
but let's continue on. Then gets pinned by Roman and
it accomplishes a few things. It gives theories when overseen,
a meaning. It gives Cody an out and Cody can
say that Roman didn't beat me, he beat Austin theory
and I would have won had Theory now gotten involved. Overall,
it gives theories failed cash in a purpose by progressing
to Cody and Roman story. And I know theory of
technically main event in WrestleMania, but it's not like we
haven't had people who had no business in the WrestleMania
main event before. Well, first of all, that would be
a very cheap way for Roman to keep his title,
But is it really that much worse than Solo Socoa
spiking Cody in the throat? But it would completely bury
Austin theory. There are ways to have a failed cash
in that don't completely bury the person. And I just
feel like, yes, he's cashing in the WrestleMania main event,
but he's he's gonna look like such a fucking loser.
And so if I was going to have him get
a win at WrestleMania over John Cena, I would not
want to waste that. And you're wasting it by sending
him out there like a fucking geek the next night
to get pinned to me, You're you're wasting whatever value
a John Seen a WrestleMania win would have had for
Austin theory. So like, I get your log behind it,
but I still think it's a flawed idea. I would
not have done that. Uh yeah, give me backshot solo
Monster No says Roman retires tonight. What happens then to
the business and his family? The business continues on, The
business will always continue on. WWE's business will take a
dip without Roman around, but the bloodline is vast. There
are lots of bloodline members and so I think the
bloodline would live on. I think Jacob thought too would
be in that title spot. I don't even mean literally
with the title. I mean like that headline, that title
spot in the family. There's been rumors of Zilla possibly
signing with WWE soon, and it doesn't take a genius
to figure out where he's going to ultimately end up
in this Right if he comes a WWE like g
I wonder what they'll have him doing. So the business
this will go on. The business will continue to generate
lots and lots of money. The bloodline will continue to
generate money. But they'll take a hit. You know, Roman's
their guy, and if he's not around anymore, they will
they will take a hit. This week's episode is sponsored

Site says Also, I forgot at least Theory would have
cashed in for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the
main event of WrestleMania instead of cashing in for the
US title on a random episode of Raw. True. But
still you're still burying him. You're still making him look
terrible by doing it this way. Nico says, Hey, solo,
Happy Bobby Bonia Day. That's right, Yes, July first is
Bobby Bonia Day. Every year Former New York met Bobby
Bonia because the way they structured or restructured his deal
twenty five years ago or whatever. It is. Actually more
than that, he gets a check for over a million
dollars every year. He just walks to his mailbox. Imagine
just every year on July first, you get to walk
to your mailbox and you pull the little door down.
I don't see I don't have one of those mailboxes.
Those are the mailboxes, and like fucking Mayberry. The mailbox
here is a little bit different. You had to pull
the thing up and then you kind of reach in.
You never know what's going to be in there. But
imagine you reach in and you pull out, ah, your
annual check for a million dollars. Not bad, Not bad?
Says I don't know if you saw this, but this Friday,
back Rooms is having its everything Must Go edition release
with fifteen minutes of additional footage in a post credit scene.
I did hear about this. So is it fifteen more
minutes of just exploring various rooms here in the movie
or fifteen minutes of what exactly? That's what I'm not
sure of Boots. Boots says, I'm hoping he has direct
deposit by now, and maybe he's like, venmo me bro,
you can just venmo me zell. Maybe he went to
the Mets and said, hey, here's my email address, you
can zell me the money. Yeah, but where's the fun
in that? That would be like the best trip every
single year, the trip from your front door to the mailbox.
I wouldn't want to give that up. The only thing
is to check that big. You're not exactly going to
take a picture with it and do a mobile deposit.
There are mobile deposit limits. I don't think you can
mobile deposit a check for over a million dollars, so
he would have to then walk to the bank. It
would be a whole paint in the ass. You're probably right,
cash app, Yeah, he could do cash app. Nico says
brought a he had brought a ticket. I think he
means bought a ticket to see you on the Friday
smd O. What see? I asked this in the chat.
What is smd OS bought a ticket already to see
you on the Friday? Smd OS. I don't know what
that means. Nico. You got to explain to me what
you're trying to say there, dead Side. What is your
favorite wrestling video package? Mine is Jeff Hardy The Rooftops
by Lost Prophets. Yeah, well it's a it's a shame
about lost profits. It's the reason why you'll never hear
that again and look it up. All I will say
about that is fantastic song, great band, but an evil
vie Yes here we go, okay, an evil, vile, disgusting
monster of a lead singer. May he burn in hell? Yes,
Unfortunately that will always there will always be a dark
cloud now over there. Their usage of lost prophets, that's
a good one, though not my favorite. I have a
few favorites actually. I mean, of course, Austin rock My
Way WrestleMania seventeen is just iconic. Of course, the Daniel
Bryan Monster one from WrestleMania thirty is fantastic. A little
jealous though, because if I decided to start training and
wanted to follow in his footsteps, he stole my song.
That's the song I would want them to use for
me in my video package. But I forgive him. But
that's a great one. And then the other one I
always come back to is Running Up That Hill, the
cover version that they use for the WrestleMania twenty six
rematch with Shaw, Michaels and the Undertaker. It's fantastic stuff.
Skywalker says, wishing you a late happy Bobby Bonilla Day.
Thank you, brother. I love how your everyone's wishing like
all day, like on Twitter and everything, everyone's wishing me
happy Bobby Bonia Day. I'm like, I'm not getting a
check for a million dollars, but see, I got people
like Boots and we got Randy Bobandy and we got
death Side. You know it may not be a check
for a million dollars, but you guys are putting a
smile on my face, so I appreciate that. Do you
mean Monster by Skellet? No, I mean Monster by Imagine Dragons.
Monster by Skellet is a different song that they used,
I think for a different pay per view. Johnny Burney
says Jay is back and got the fans to do
his own fandangoing. I was in the crowd that night
for that post wrestle media roa where everybody was doing
the fandango that was popular for a hot minute. Death
Site says, also on Monday, I'm surprised Paul Hayman didn't
quote JBL and say to Austin Theory, you can't polish
a turd. I tried as if he hasn't been buried enough,
must we bury him deeper beneath the earth. We got
dirty dried chicken without flavor, which sounds awful. Five dollars
super chat, Hello Sola Monster and everyone in the chat.
Continue to hit the like button. I'll be back next Wednesday.
Happy fourth of July week and go team USA. Yes,
I'm wishing you and everybody else a very happy holiday weekend.
Hopefully you are doing something interesting and exciting and not
working like I will be preparing for the Sunday show.
But may you all have a great holiday weekend. PGH
Chris TV, MJF versus Osprey versus Kenny at Wembley, great review.
I agree, though, I think a three way is the
way to go, and we very well may end up
with one. That's my hope. Iron Guidgen deal with it
with a two dollars super chat. How would you grade
AW from January to June of this year? I mean,
if I had to ascribe a grade, probably maybe something
like a B plus would be fair. I mean, there
have been weeks of Dynamite that are tough to get through. Right,
you get great wrestling matches every fucking week, Sometimes that's
just not enough. You look at an episode like Dynamite
tonight and there was enough story to go with, like
what we got in the opening match, and that's the
sort of thing I want to see them, you know,
do more of. But I can't say, oh, yeah, ay, plus,
everything's been great, No, because there's been some boring shit
too that hasn't really interested me. Something like a B
plus I think would be fair. It's not a bad grave. Hey,
Justin G says, Happy Canada Day and Brett Hart Day.
That's right, July second, It is officially July second. It
is Brett Hart's bur How old is Brett Hart now? Sixty?
What damn man? I should know? This today should be
a national holiday just for that alone. Happy Canada Day,
owns to all the Canadians out there. Linklex with a
nine to ninety nine says Tekla should have been in
the women's owen so her and Mercedes could have their
rematch a few weeks later, and Will was supposed to
put aside his world title match. Who taught Tony Kahn
how to book? We got a funny guy here in
the super Jets. Yes, Tecla should have had a spot
in the tournament. Is that how we're doing things now?
Boots with the one hundred, I'm gonna give him this
a thing because how can I not one hundred dollars
bomb from earlier. Let's start the second half of twenty
twenty six with a bang. Thank you, Boots, You're awesome,
but you already knew that. And Justin G says he
is sixty eight years. Justin's not sixty eight, but Brett
Hart maybe maybe he is. I shouldn't say that, but
Brett Hart is sixty eight years old. God bless him. Men.
So many of his family members and his friends and
co workers, they never made it to their sixty eighth birthday.
Every time I see that image, there's this image from
an episode of Raw where all the members of the
Heart Foundation are in the ring and they're all holding
up each other's arms, and the entire image is black
and white except Brett. Brett's the only one in color,
because Brett's the only one that's still alive. Oh when
he's gone. Bulldog is gone, Anvil is gone, Pilman is gone.
And it's depressing as fuck to look at it. But
I'm glad that Brett is still around in kicking men.
He is. He is the goat Randy Bobandi with a
fifty dollars gunhar bomb. Wednesdays are known as the slow day.
Let's hope that gets the ball running. It ain't no
slow day tonight. You guys made sure of that. And
I believe we just hit the like skull, which means
we're getting a double. We're getting a double. He'd be
the booker. I love it. The real CSO two with
a four ninety nine says, running back a stipulation they
did seven months ago, and people say WWE is lazy
and out of ideas. They literally made the match next
week predictable. Well, I'm not gonna say it's predictable because
I don't Thinkkenny Omega is winning the time next week.
I think that would be stupid for him to win
the belt on Dynamite next week. That would be dumb.
You know what we didn't talk about the possibility that
he keeps bringing up Hangman and he keeps mocking Hangman
for the fact that he can't challenge for the championship again.
Are we looking at a Hangman return as part of
all this? You know, if he wins the championship, let's
say not next week. Let's say they find a way
to extend it out to redemption. Is that where Hangman returns?
Does Hangman play a role in mjf's downfall as revenge
for what MJF did to him? We already know the
history and the friendship that Kenny and Hangman had together,
he says, But since this is aw it's okay well,
it's part of the story. I assume it's going to
play out next again, we may get the return of
Hangman here. If they could tie it all together, then
it'll make sense. If they don't, then it won't. It's
very simple. The uffman says. By the time you read this,
happy birthday to the best there is, was and ever
will be. Brett Hart sixty nine, sixty nine. So I'm
getting mixed messages here. I had one person say he's
sixty eight and now apparently he's sixty nine, which it's
a hell of an age. Krispy Kreme with the four
ninety nine, Hey, solemn Monster, thank you so much for
all your hard work. I love all your content. Just
wanted to show some love. Appreciate that. I appreciate that,
Krispy Kreme. I'm glad you enjoy it. I got a
really nice email earlier from someone who said they had
never heard any of my shows before or any of
my content. They became aware of me through the Young
Crown show that I do, and so now they're, you know,
sub to the channel and they're following all the other content,
and you know, that was one of the goals in
the hopes when I accepted the offer to start doing
the Young Crown Show in the first place. It was like,
there's two separate audiences there. Although I know a lot
of you enjoy the Young Crowned Show and I love
the overlap. I love the people that are like, man,
I'm going to support because there is, you know, overlap
with some of the news. It's unavoidable, Like, there's overlap
with some of the news. How do you cover the
news but do it in a way that's not exactly
the same as you do it on Sunday. It's not easy.
There tends to be more stuff that comes out on Monday,
and so that helped, you know, stuff that drops on
Monday that I didn't get a chance to cover on Sunday.
This weekend was a great example of it, because I
didn't go live for Forbidden Door, and I'm so fucking
happy I didn't because, oh my god, the fucking main
event didn't go out to the ring until twelve thirteen
in the morning. Like, fuck, you would have ruined my
Monday if I would have stayed up to first go
live at fucking one fifteen am. I'm so happy I
didn't do that. I'm like, why we'll just save it
as an exclusive this week for Uncrowned, and so that's
what we did. So that's also the benefit of doing
the show on Tuesday, where it comes in handy sometimes.
But anyway, I'm glad you guys are enjoying the content. Hogdog,
thank you very much. Death Side says. For those who
say it was ridiculous that Steve Austin won the ninety
seven Royal Rumble and did not get a WWF title shot,
I disagree. He got something better. He got Brett Hart. Well,
now you're just kissing up to Brett Hart. Now, Well,
the reason he didn't get a title shot is because
he cheated. He did not technically win the Royal Rumble.
He was eliminated. He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve
a title shot. It's not Brett's falt that the referees
were so incompetent they didn't see him dump the man
out to the floor. Randy Bobandi with a nine ninety nine.
My coworker gave me a prick. My coworker, let's start
over again. My coworker gave me a pack of Pokemon cards.
Thank god, Solo doesn't work with me because he would
have taken those immediately because Pokemon cards are not allowed
at work. That is true. That is true. They are
not allowed at day camp. You remember that story. I
was a very strict counselor those are the rules, and
they're not allowed at work either. Walter Palasios, Here's to
a better month. Always here on Wednesdays, Walter Saluti, Sir,
thank you. Walter is reporting for duty every Wednesday. Warhawk,
Rambo Aces and Eights owns the Bloodlines. Sorry not sort. Well,
let's not get carried away now here. You know what,
I always used to compliment them on this one thing,
no matter what, no matter how awful some of the
segments were, they had kick ass music. They had really
good theme music. I enjoyed that theme more than I
do this deaf rebel garbage that we have now. Was
it Dixie's husband, Surge, who was doing most of the
music at that point? I know he was involved in
the music during that time period. Good job, Serge. Can
we get Surge back to do the music for WWA debt? Sithe?
Max is gonna god Osprey into putting his title shot
on the line against him at Redemption, isn't? I'm sure
as hell hope, Now, that would be incredibly stupid. Them
wrestling is not anything that would be too crazy, but
him agreeing to put his shot on the line, that
would be very dumb. And I say the same thing
about anybody, like any Royal Rumble winner who would be
willing to do that, Like Sewn Michaels did that one year,
he put his shot on the line against Owen Hart,
because that's what the babyface does. I'm like, yeah, if
your baby face is a fucking moron, you just went
through this grueling tournament and you're gonna allow yourself to
be goaded into putting your championship match on the line
in one match, You're an idiot. You deserve to lose
your shot if you do that. Asu Amy, the cat
abuse in the movie you keep pushing is disgusting, really
super strange. You want everyone to see that says a
lot about you. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Are you talking about obsession? Come on, get over it.
It's a fucking movie. Seriously, get over it. This is
what you're complaining about. This is what you're bitching about. Please,
says a lot about you. Yes, it makes me a
bad person. That I put over a movie that I
enjoyed because there's a few fake scenes in the movie
where a cat gets killed. Give me a fucking break. Okay,
now you piss me off. Seriously. Yeah, it's one thing
to say that you didn't enjoy the movie because of it,
you didn't enjoy the scene, or how can you recommend
something like that? To say, oh, says a lot about you. Seriously,
take take that shit somewhere else, Get off your high
horse and cut the crap. Randy Bobandi with a nineteen
ninety nine If Billy Gunn did not get hurt in
two thousand, do you see the Hardy's, the Dudley's and
edgend Christian getting the spotlight and title reigns like they did?
The Outlaws had the stranglehold over the titles at the time. Um,
Billy Gunn, what was the injury that he had? I
don't remember him. I don't remember what the injury was
that he had. Honestly, do they get the Do they
get the rain that they did? I think they probably do.
I think they do. I think it all works out
in the end. I think they were looking for something
fresh and something new. Maybe the Outlaws would have been
involved in some of those matches. Maybe maybe it would
have been a four way instead of a three way,
you know, TLC. Who knows, but I think I think
it all would have worked out okay for them. Uh.
Stadium Jay says, this stipulation that Max has been using
is diabolical. That's like a gen Z thing. I see.
Everybody loves using that word diabolical. Death Side says, since
the next stream is on Friday, since I am late
giving my three hour SmackDown eulogy, I say, now quaintest
thoughts and queerest fancies come to life and fade away.
What care I have as SmackDown reduces. I am drinking
ale today. That kind of brings it a little tear
to my eye. There. That's deeply moving. Death Side. I'm
very impressed. Good morning, Chezzah, good morning to you. Nick
Grossa says, just the obsession. Uh, oh, you better be careful.
Some people don't like that. It's just the obsession. And wow,
what a wild movie. But I thought it was great
and deserves all the praise it gets. Ten out of ten. Yeah,
well says a lot about you, Nick. Thank you. Nick.
Death Side says, I hope we can get at least
one segment with Roman Reigns and Dan Housen as Tribal
Housen also, So how do you think that segment would
play out. I don't think Roman Reigns would would would
allow it if they I think if they pitched it
to him, he would just flat out reject it and say, no,
we're not doing that. I mean, the Sammy stuff was comedic,
but it it worked in a way that this. I'm
not saying it wouldn't be entertaining, but I don't think
they want to drag it down to comedy levels. So
I don't think Roman would would okay it. Hey EJ
coming in with the four ninety nine, thank you EJ.
The Bloodline stuff. Right now, they're in there. They're in
their cinema phase. They're not going to reduce it to
comedy fodder. On the show, death Side says I thought
the Rock versus Big Show no way out was there
way of getting Big Show out of the way. But
they had Big Show win lol WWF. Well, we had
to have a McMahon in every corner. It was very important.
Randy with a nineteen ninety nine and then another one
and says I'll be the team player tonight bonus goal unlocked.
He was the one that put us over the top.
Hat tip to Randy Man. Randy is he's taking a
victory lap? What he's doing that side says when a
male wrestler is either the champion or just won the
championship and he's about to be cashed in on how
come they kicked the guy in the dick for the
DQ because they want to keep their title? Are you
talking about the person trying to save their title? I mean,
if you were going to incapacitate your opponent, that's kind
of what you would do. And as we've learned, many
of these wrestlers they don't know any better, so they
don't wear any protection down there. Warhawk Rambo MJF against
Omega is going to end it a DQ or something, Yes,
some sort of screwy finish, Warhawk says Solo. Does Carlos
Silva make Dixie Carter look like Paul Hayman, Boy, that's
a mental photoshop image right there that this flashed before
my eyes. Dixie Carter, either Dixie Carter made out to
look like Paul Hayman, or Paul Hayman made out to
look like Dixie Carter's that's quite the quite the image.
Does Silva make Dixie look like Hayman? Silva is a
corporate guy, you Knowie, Dixie came from the world of
public relations, that was her experience, and all of a
sudden she was the head of a wrestling company. Silva
Silva is a corporate guy, you know, and he was
brought in to do things like what they're doing, where
you kind of trim the fat, you cut costs, you
make the company look very attractive for a future sale,
even if it's not happening right now. He's doing everything
they brought him in to do. He's not He's not
a wrestling guy any more than Dixie was. EJ says
to me Stan Hansen is the greatest guid gin ever
because he paved the way for every guidgin who followed. Also,
did anyone throw a better lariat? No? Jbl for a
pretty mean one, but Hanson. Hanson's number one. He's at
the top of the list. I wouldn't argue with you
if that was your argument that he's the greatest, you know,
foreign talent to hit Japan Super Pony four ninety nine.
I'm calling ko versus Sammy at SummerSlam. I genuinely don't
know what else Sammy does after oh after he if
he drops the if he drops the title. I don't
see another triple threat. Probably not, probably not, but uh yeah,
I mean we'll, we'll, we'll address it next week. I
won't get into any of the spoilers here. E J says,
based on Tony Khn's booking style, which of my Mount
Rushmore would have would he have pushed the best? I
see which member of your Mount Rushmore would Tony Khan
have pushed the best? Harley Race. I assume he means
Harley Race, not Harley Cameron, Harley Race, Nick Bockwinkle, Terry
Funk or Brett Hart. I you know, I would say Brett. Honestly.
From that list, I would say Brett. He want us
to know in what order? Actually it might be Funk.
It's definitely Funk or Brett in the number one spot,
and whoever's number one, the other guy's number two, and
then I would say Bockwinkle and then Harley at the bottom.
I feel like that's how he would rank them, or
that's the order in which he would really push them.
We have super Pony owed to the Mets by the
Strokes is such a great song for such a shitty
baseball team. I can't stand watching them anymore. They've caused
me so much pain. I know, brother, I know, they're
a terrible team. They're a terrible disappointment, nothing but pain.
I sent a tweet to Dan Housen today asking him
because he had uncursed the Mets back in April. And
I sent him a tweet today and I said, I
don't think you're uncursing of the Mets worked. So I
asked him if he could do it again. I said,
I have human monies. He hasn't replied to me yet,
so I don't think we're gonna I think there are
just certain curses that are just too powerful for even
Dan Housen to lift. Justin says Happy Canada Day and
Brett Hart Day. That's the one from earlier. Thank you. Justin.
EJ says wish you would have gotten the Milwaukee versions
of Peralta, Williams, and Sterns. They lost all three to
the Mets, their manager to the Cubs and still keep winning.
Good for them, warhow Rambo? How many likes came from
discord links. I was on a bunch of my servers
promoting the stream just curious. Oh, I have no way
of knowing. There's no way to know who who are,
where the likes are from. It doesn't there's no list,
The number just goes up. There's no way for me
to know. But I appreciate you spreading the word for
I'm sure. I'm sure some of them came from that,
So I appreciate that. Death Sithe. I have an anime
recommendation for everyone. It's called Angels of Death. There's sixteen
episodes and it's essentially what happens when the final girl
teams up with the slasher villain. Wow, like a swerve?
How about that? That sounds interesting? Angels of Death? If it,
where is it airing? Is it on Netflix? EJ Slims's
Happy Birthday Brett? I love Brett more than solo, Monster
loves the ninety two rumble. Well, that is just impossible.
I find that very hard to believe. And death Sithe
with another learning tree, says sorry, I meant to say,
how come the champion who was about to be cashed
in on never thinks to wait until the bell rings
and then goes low on the money in the bank. Winner. Well,
if it's a babyface, that's just not the way WWE
books their babyfaces. See, if you had a smart babyface,
then that's what they would do. Because you do what
you need to do to keep your title. It's already
unfair that you're being cashed in on. You just wrestled.
I would have no issues doing that. I would kick
him in the dick. I would do whatever it takes.
I would break the eyes, I would hook the tights,
bash them in the head with a ball, peen hammer,
you know, whatever it takes. You're not wrong, but you're
also looking for common sense where common sense typically does
not exist. Spanish Goddish, Did you see that New York
lost Mitchell Robinson to Boston? Yes, I did see that.
Of all the teams for him to go to, why
did it have to be the Celtics? Why did it
have to be the Celtics. Literally, he could have gone
anywhere else, but he had to go to the Celtics
and boots with another five. I'm looking at a listing
of WWF no mercy on the N sixty four. Part
of the description reads as jump into the ring with
the biggest, baddest JOm Broni's around or Jam Bronie's Jam
Bronie's Well, I mean, they didn't hire a copy editor
for the video game, so this is what happens, tem Gen,
What's going on? Temjen? He says, has anybody seen The Furious?
I wanted to. People recommended it and I checked and
it wasn't. I think it's just out of the theater here,
so it's not showing now, so I'll have to wait
until it hits digital, which probably won't be too much longer.
But I am thinking about reserving my tickets for the Odyssey.
It's not out for another two weeks, two and a
half weeks, and I just happened to go look and
it's already like the theater is already almost sold out.
But I'm like, do I want to see it? It's
a long movie, but it's Nolan Nolan. Nolan is just
one of the best directors in the world. Do I
see it in Imax? Know? Like the theater that I
normally go to has one of these we call them Limax.
They're not really Imax. It's like marginally bigger than Imax,
but it's really it's it's a small Imax screen and
I know this was shot in some different formats seventy
millimeters or something, so I'm like, doesn't even matter, you know,
Like these Imax tickets are like fucking thirty forty dollars?
Should I see it in Standard? Should I see it
in just you know, Limax? I don't know. Everything's so complicated.
I just want to go see the fucking movie. Now.
I gotta figure out, like what format I want to
see it in. It's get the fuck out of here.
Man EJ says. I'm convinced Hogan was never really a babyface,
and Brett was never really a heel, at least not
in cam Hogan. I told you for years on the
show this would come up. Hogan was never a real babyface.
He was a heel masquerading around as a babyface. If
you ever watched him wrestle, dude, he wrestled like a heel.
He cheated all like Jesse Ventura was right. He cheated
all the time, eye gouges and backbreaks. He would not
hesitate taking a shortcut, and the people fell for it.
Spanish Godtish said, Hey, the Celtics made one of the
worst trades ever today. Lol. Don Stony shout out to
Don Tony Wrestling Soup Spitball Media and as always, rest
in peace Kevin Castle. Yes, indeed rip to keV and
I missed that guy. Thank you Don Stony and HEJ
Slimp says Brett main evented a bigger crowd than Hogan
andre his international drawing power shuts down the he wasn't
a draw argument fast well, he drew that crowd working
an Englishman on a stadium show in London. So I
think Bulldog had a lot to do with that. That's
the only reason they ran Wembley. They were going to
run Brett and Sean in a ladder match in DC,
and once they realize, okay, we're gonna do Brett Bulldog here,
they made the decision to do it in London. And also,
you know, in ninety two business was not good. Business
was not good, and they had a lot of names.
I mean, they had Hogan for a while there, they
had Savage and Flair, and Brett was kind of on
the ascent. They still had Piper, Undertaker, Jake. It's a
great fucking roster they had, but business was not great.
Internationally though, business was tremendous for them, so they would
go to Europe, and they would work all of these
different cities and these different countries, and business was a
hell of a lot hotter for them overseas at that
time than it was here in the States. So there
were a lot of reasons that went into them running Wembley. Look,
I'm as big of a Brett fan as anybody, but
you can't say that that is some sort of end all,
be all argument for why Brett was some big draw.
I mean, eh, I can't really say that was all
Brett in Spanish Goddish. So I was at Forbidden Door
on Sunday, a solid eight out of ten show. I
feel like they could have cut back time on some
of the match O. Yeah, you think every match on
the show went twenty minutes? Says also shout out to
Rocky Romero. Got to take a photo with him. Yeah,
Rocky's a nice guy. Rocky Romero. He does a lot
more these days outside the ring than he does inside
the ring. And you know, obviously works with New Japan.
He's sort of a liaison between the two different companies,
you know, the go between. You know, he's an important
person and by all accounts, he's a nice dude, bulldog
won that match, whether he wanted to or not. That's right.
Oh where is that kid today? What a haircut on
that kid too. They were interviewing fans before the show
at Wemble and there's this one kid and look, I
I don't even remember it if that was a boy
or a girl. That was another that was a whole
other thing. Like people thought it was a boy, but
I think it was a girl. But maybe not. I
don't know. But the British bulldog is gonna win, whether
he wants to or not. I'm like, what a weird
thing to say. I wonder where that person is today.
All right, so we are at five hundred and eighteen
likes and the wheel said four seventy five. So we
blew past that and we hit the bonus goal, which
means we got a couple of rounds here coming our
way and be the booker. I got a good feeling
about this tonight. Now time to be the book Thank
you Spanish Scottish. It was a girl. She did the
thing as an adult a while ago. Wow, it was
a girl. Yeah. Sometimes when you're a kid and you
have these haircuts, it's you don't want to offend somebody.
You just don't know. I remember there was a kid
in my elementary school class, the boy, but the haircut
that he had. Everybody thought he was a girl and
he got picked on and he was terrible. Kids can
be very cruel, let me tell you, especially girls is
one thing that I know. I mean, not that boys
are much better, but like the girls were like brutal
to each other. My goodness, it's awful. I don't know,
I don't know what it is. All right, here we go,
tag team, be the booker. The bowl haircut. Look, there
was a point in time where I wanted a bowl haircut.
I thought it might be a good look for me.
I'm glad I was talked out of it. Can you
imagine me with a bowl haircut? Is Obafemi and be
the booker? Yes he is. We got the Luca Bros.
We got Penta, and we got Ray Phoenix. Maybe one
day we'll see these two back together, the Luca Brothers.
Tag team be the booker against the Usos. Now would
that be considered a dream match? Because it's a doable match? Right?
They all work for the same company. Now, people throw
that word around so much. It's a big one though.
That's a big one. Do we get Alex Abrahantes Now
he's too busy. He's busy on QBC promoting all of
the HP laptops. I saw him the other day flipping
around like there's Alex. There's Alex. He's selling the latest
HP laptop. All right, women's be the booker. We have
Becky two belts. It is Becky Lynch. It's a big
one right there. That's a big name. So we need
another big name for her to step into the ring with.
Get We need a drum roll for a big name.
We gotta bust out the drum roll. Becky Lynch against
Page and you know what, that's another one that is
absolutely doable now because they're both under the same roof,
they're working for the same company, Becky and Page. That
could be a thing at some point. And our night
one main event, we got another one coming up. We
gotta do this one first. Darby Allen. This will be
a very polarizing one. Some people don't think he should
be in the main event. He's too small. I can't
take him seriously. I heard this when he was the champion.
Darby Allen in the main even Hey, you know Sting
isn't be the book or wouldn't that be something if
we landed on sting. I don't know why it always
freezes on that. It always like briefly freezes on that
with the rock and his his soul. Let's try that
again here threw me off, Darby Allen against the honorary
oose Sammy Zain the WWE. I can actually sit here.
I may not be able to say this a week
from now, so I'm gonna say it now. The WWE
champion Samy, and that, by the way, is I almost forgot.
That's a clean sweep. That is a clean sweep. Not
a bad match either, not bad at all. Okay, you
guys earned it, you unlocked it, you put the key
in the hole, the door opened, and now we get
a second round of be the Booker. Can we go
for the double sweep? Can we do? It? Doesn't happen
very often. We're gonna pick a stipulation. This is what
we do with the bonus round. By the way, we
have a and I have to update this, but we
have a stipulations round. So we're starting with last man's standing.
So we have to do a singles match here. We
have no choice. I mean, I guess you can technically
do a last man standing tag team match, but that
would be kind of dumb. Yeah, the booker the other night,
it shows violence. We did monsters ball, we did what
else did we do? Was there an exploding barbed wire
death match in there? And there was some other hardcore stipulation?
It was out for blood? All right? We have Kane.
You know, we just passed the anniversary the twenty was
it twenty eight years? Twenty eight year anniversary of Caine's
twenty four hours as the WWF champion. Caine is going
to be in a last man standing match against Ooh,
this is a good one. This is a good one.
Og Kin. Actually he's from ninety eight to this version
of Sting og Kane against Crow Sting from ninety eight. Basically,
if you took this Sting that year and put him
in the ring with Kane, this is what we just
booked here and be the booker. How's that for a match?
That's awesome? All right? Stipulation number two is a stretcher match.
Put your opponent on the stretcher. You gotta wheel the
stretcher over the yellow line, and you win the match.
That doesn't sound like a wrestling match. That sounds like
some sort of obstacle. Course, we'll do the women. How
about that, We'll do a women's stretcher match. I don't
know that there ever has been a women's stretcher match,
now that I think about it, not in WWE anyway.
All Right, we have Julia. Oh I'm missed this version
of Julia. Where has this version of Julia gone? Can
we get her back? Please? What have they done to her?
That's stardom? Julia in a stretcher match against Ivory Ivey
was the hell of a wrestler her days ago, all
the way back to Glow in the late eighties. All right,
Gina already glow Ivory against stardom Julia. I like it.
I think we're gonna forego the tag team match. We're
gonna go right to our main event. Now, this is
what we're gonna do. We're gonna pick one last stipulation.
And actually, I think, in addition to this, because you
guys have just been killing it all night tonight, I
think we'll do a fourth match, and we'll make it intergender.
How does that sound? We have a ladder match. Okay, see,
let's see what we got we've got the Big Boss Man.
We landed on him the other night. We just landed
on the Big boss Man the other night in a
ladder match. Oh my goodness, the Big Boss Man in
a ladder match against the Beast Mortos. Mortos is awesome.
But unfortunately he's dealing with visa issues, which is why
he just dropped off the face of the earth. So
we haven't seen him lately. Mercedes has been keeping him busy.
I'm sure, but I said we were going to book
an intergender match. We went three out of three back
to back times. Are we going to ruin it though?
Because if we add the one more match and we
fuck it up, then technically that sweep that we just
beld doesn't really count, all right, So this is going
to be an intergender match. We don't do these very often.
So let's see on the women's side first, Let's see
who's going to be in this match. Here we go
Chris Statlander. Funny enough, she has the TBS Championship in
her hand here in this image, the TBS Championship that
she failed to win tonight on Dynamite. So we have
Chris Statlander on one side and on the other side,
should be very interesting here Statlander is going to get
in the ring with oh my god, big Papa Pump
Scott Steiner. Fuck it, I'll give it the bell anyway.
That would be quite the contest, you know, Chris Statlander
is she's a powerful lady herself, but against Big Papa Pump.
I don't think the chances are very good. For in fact,
he'd be giving us some of that Steiner math right now,
telling us she only has a thirty percent chance of
victory here in this match. Look at this man's arms
like it is. It's just it's inhuman. It is inhuman.
It's just it's not possible. This looks like AI. But
it's a real image. That would be something I'm trying
to picture that Scott Steiner and Chris Statlander in the
ring together. Spanish Goddish says, add doctor Wagner Junior to
be the booker, Eh, why boring? There's more exciting people
that we could be adding to be the booker. It's
been a while since I've given the Men's round or refresh.
I'll have to work on some updates to it and
the state I have other rounds I've been meaning. I
want to add a manager's round, So every now and then,
maybe for an extra goal or something, we could add managers,
multi generations of managers to choose from there. Bobby Heenan,
Captain Lou Jimmy Hart, Paul bar Gary Hart, Paul Hayman, Sable,
Sonny Marlena, JJ Dillon. The list is endless. Is Blackheart
Leo Rush he is not. Thank you for reminding me.
I will have to add Blackheart Leo Rush to the
list of names. Any suggestions that you have, maybe I
haven't thought of any recent people that might not be
in there. I'll take those suggestions. You can email me
the Solomn Monster at gmail dot com or leave a
comment below this video. Hey, this was fun. This was
a fun review. This was the liveliest Dynamite review we've
had in a while, which was good to see and
I appreciate all the support. This is the way you
kick off a brand new month. Now there's no WWE
pay per views this month. Well, I'm sorry, plees. Saturday
Night's main event is not technically a pl I'm sorry,
but we do have that coming up on July eighteenth.
We have Redemption coming up on the twenty six I
guess those are the two big shows Beach Break next
week shaping up to be a big one. There's going
to I will tell you this, There's gonna be a
big match on Raw in Chicago next week. So we
got that coming up, and otherwise we should we should
be basically following a normal schedule. I don't really foresee
there being any preemptions. There's no hog shows that are
taking me away this month. That'll be uh, that'll be
the following few months we have coming up. But anyway,
hit that like button on your way out if you
have not already done. So, as I mentioned earlier, we
have get out of here fucking wheel. The Uncrowned Wrestling
Show went up yesterday on the Ariel Helwani Show feed
or the separate feed for the Uncrowned Wrestling Show specifically,
you can get the show in either place. It's the
same show, just two different ways of streaming it. And
so the full Forbidden Door review is up there, plus
I talk about TNA slam Avers and of course a
lot of the WWE stuff as well a couple of
other news and notes in there. So be sure to
go ahead and check that out. And then the next
time I'm live with you, even though it's a tape show.
On Friday, I will be live for SmackDown. Thankfully, SmackDown
is back to two hours this week, so it's eight
to ten. I'll be live around ten thirty. We get
to go live about an hour earlier than usual, and
we'll talk about SmackDown. It sounds like there'll be some
eventful stuff going on there from what I understand, and
then we have the sound off coming up this weekend,
episode nine seventy, and onward we go. So Tempton says,
I'll listen to Uncrowned at work later today. So that's
a good idea. You don't want to be doing work.
Work is boring, right sitting in an office, maybe a
cubicle board, out of your mind. That's where the Uncrowned
show will come in very handy. Be well, stay safe,
have yourselves a great rest of your night. If you
are in a place where it's going to be very
hot tomorrow, like it will be here out on the
East Coast, do hydrate. That's a very real thing. I
had family members that have forgotten to hydrate and then
they pass out, and so it's not a good situation.
So it's gonna be ninety something degrees here in New York.
Just be safe and I'll see you back here for
the smackdownstream on Friday night. So until then, take care, guys.
Thanks for the love.
