Speaker 1: Tonight was a fallout from AAW All in London, their
Speaker 1: biggest show of the year this past Sunday, Many New
Speaker 1: Champions crowned one of the better shows of the entire
Speaker 1: year with some excellent matches. I was a very big
Speaker 1: fan of that show on Sunday, So tonight was the
Speaker 1: fallout and not a lot of turnaround here because we
Speaker 1: go from All In to All Out in Chicago now
Speaker 1: in less than two weeks, and tonight, after one episode
Speaker 1: of Dynamite, very first show coming out of All In,
Speaker 1: we already have the top four matches already set for
Speaker 1: All Out. Brian Danielson was coming out tonight to address
Speaker 1: his wrestling future. Brian Danielson on Sunday went out there
Speaker 1: and had one of the greatest matches of his career
Speaker 1: against Swarve Strickland and won the AAW World Heavyweight Championship.
Speaker 1: He etched his name into the history of this company.
Speaker 1: He is now part of that lineage. And he had
Speaker 1: what he said after the show, and he said it again.
Speaker 1: Tonight on TV was to him the greatest moment of
Speaker 1: his career, and that's big when you consider the fact
Speaker 1: that he's been doing this for a long time, He's
Speaker 1: had a lot of great moments, He's won a lot
Speaker 1: of championships in his day for that to be his
Speaker 1: favorite moment of his entire career, largely because his family
Speaker 1: was there, his kids were there. And I saw people
Speaker 1: online this week arguing with this man, arguing with him
Speaker 1: that it was the greatest moment of his career. How
Speaker 1: can you say that, How can you say that it
Speaker 1: was better than WrestleMania. I mean, I've seen some really
Speaker 1: dumb things online, right, and a lot of it you
Speaker 1: just sort of gloss over, you look past it, and
Speaker 1: you move on, you don't even mention it. But I
Speaker 1: have to say, among the really really stupid things that
Speaker 1: I've seen from some of the tribalist fans online, telling
Speaker 1: somebody what their favorite moment should or should not be
Speaker 1: of their own career is pretty fucking high up on
Speaker 1: the list. If the man says that it's the favorite
Speaker 1: moment in the best moment of his career, then guess what.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. But you can understand it because
Speaker 1: it was very emotional and so it was a fantastic moment.
Speaker 1: But the question now coming into tonight was what is
Speaker 1: he going to come out and address. Is he going
Speaker 1: to come out and issue a challenge to somebody? Is
Speaker 1: he going to come out and retire as the aw
Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Champion. Surely he's not going to do that
Speaker 1: because the match was title versus career on Sunday and
Speaker 1: he won, So it would have made very little sense
Speaker 1: for him after all that to come out and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, peace out, I'm done. So I wasn't
Speaker 1: expecting him to come out and just surrender the title,
Speaker 1: which would have been a ridiculously lame way to go
Speaker 1: about doing it. Instead, the man has a challenger. He
Speaker 1: has a challenger for Chicago, and that challenger will be
Speaker 1: the TNT champion, Darby Allen or not Darby Allen Jack Perry,
Speaker 1: who beat Darby Allen Darby Allen as the former Team
Speaker 1: TNT champion. I'm thinking of the Coffin match from Sunday.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the Coffin match because it makes sense
Speaker 1: that Jack Perry beat Darby Allen. That now sets him
Speaker 1: up for a shot at the world championship. So in
Speaker 1: that regard, it makes sense. But here's another reason why
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Jack Perry is the man who pinned
Speaker 1: Brian Danielson in the anarchy in the arena match back
Speaker 1: of Double or Nothing. This is a man who got
Speaker 1: set on fire, remember during that match, got set on
Speaker 1: fire by Darby Allen, but went on to win the
Speaker 1: match for the Elite and he beat Brian Danielson to
Speaker 1: do it. So technically, Jack Perry has a win already
Speaker 1: over Brian Danielson. So there is a little bit of
Speaker 1: history there coming into this match. Here, him getting the
Speaker 1: first crack at the title in many ways makes sense.
Speaker 1: Was it the most exciting announcement in the world where
Speaker 1: the fans excited to see Jack Perry come out and be,
Speaker 1: you know, the number one contender and challenge him? It
Speaker 1: really was an open challenge challenge him for the championship. No, no,
Speaker 1: they were underwhelmed, but you can make sense of it.
Speaker 1: Danielson already has a match lined up for Grand Slam
Speaker 1: next month. We already know he's going to be defending
Speaker 1: the title against Darby Allen on September twenty fifth, because
Speaker 1: Darby won the Royal Rampage many many weeks ago to
Speaker 1: earn the right to challenge for that championship. So even
Speaker 1: though Darby lost to Jack Perry on Sunday, he's already
Speaker 1: got a world title match in his back pocket. Could
Speaker 1: it be against Jack Perry? Could we get a rematch
Speaker 1: between Darby Allen and Jack Perry with Darby winning the
Speaker 1: AW World title. If you were to list out all
Speaker 1: of the potential scenarios, that would probably be the least likely.
Speaker 1: But I do think you have to throw that out there.
Speaker 1: Very very unlikely. I'm not expecting that to happen, but
Speaker 1: you can't rule it out. Yeah, there's been talk about
Speaker 1: potentially Darby Allen being given a run with the AW
Speaker 1: World Heavyweight title, so we know that match is already
Speaker 1: coming up. The other thing also is think about where
Speaker 1: they're going to be for All Out. They're going to
Speaker 1: be in the Chicago area. I know it's Hoffman Estates,
Speaker 1: but they're going to be in Chicago. Basically, you would
Speaker 1: expect that Jack Perry in Chicago, of all places, would
Speaker 1: get nuclear heat. Given the location, I would expect him
Speaker 1: to get perhaps dominic mysterio levels of heat on that show.
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of reasons that you could
Speaker 1: argue for Jack Perry to be in that spot. And
Speaker 1: I understand that there are going to be people who
Speaker 1: hate the decision and they think it's lame, they think
Speaker 1: it's underwhelming, or they don't like Jack Perry. But here's
Speaker 1: one common theme that was very apparent in being watching
Speaker 1: this show tonight, Tony Kahan's attempt to get new stars
Speaker 1: over using his more established name. So when I say
Speaker 1: more established names, I don't just mean EXWWE guys. Even
Speaker 1: somebody like MJF is an upper level, top tier established
Speaker 1: name on the AW ROSSI he's an AWA veteran, right,
Speaker 1: He's not some young guy who they're trying to get over.
Speaker 1: He's already over. And you look at what they have
Speaker 1: been doing with Jack Perry, trying to get him over
Speaker 1: with the scapegoat character, giving him the win at anarchy
Speaker 1: in the arena, putting the TNT Championship on him, putting
Speaker 1: him in these prime situations, these big spots. You look
Speaker 1: at what they're doing with Daniel Garcia. That's another example.
Speaker 1: We saw that on the show tonight as well. That's
Speaker 1: the other big match, or one of the four that's
Speaker 1: already been set in stone now for We're all out.
Speaker 1: Daniel Garcia, who we saw return on Sunday at all
Speaker 1: In during the MJF will Osprey match, he was out
Speaker 1: there tonight throwing down the challenge saying I talked to
Speaker 1: Tony Kahan, the match is made, the match is official.
Speaker 1: I get you in the ring at all out, and
Speaker 1: so MJF and Daniel Garcia will go one on one.
Speaker 1: And Daniel Garcia is another example of a young star
Speaker 1: that Tony Kahan has had the start and stop with
Speaker 1: over the years, where he'll be pushed really hard. We
Speaker 1: used to have a running joke here in the live
Speaker 1: chat on these streams about main event Garcia because almost
Speaker 1: every single week this kid was in the main event
Speaker 1: of the show. You could tell that Tony Khan obviously
Speaker 1: saw something in him, but then when it looked like
Speaker 1: he was about to maybe break out in a big way,
Speaker 1: they pulled back on it. So it was kind of weird.
Speaker 1: The Continental Classic at the end of last year, he
Speaker 1: went winless except for one match I think at the end,
Speaker 1: and I think it was against Brody King he finally
Speaker 1: picked up a win. Well, Garcia is in a very
Speaker 1: interesting contractual state right now where he may or may
Speaker 1: not be staying with AW but they are obviously moving
Speaker 1: ahead with this match with MJF. In short order. Here,
Speaker 1: Whether you like the guy or not, he's a young
Speaker 1: star who Tony Khan is trying to push and trying
Speaker 1: to make something up. I cannot fault Tony Khan for
Speaker 1: trying to push younger stars using some of his more
Speaker 1: established as. Maybe he won't always get the person right
Speaker 1: that he should be pushing. Maybe the way he goes
Speaker 1: about doing it, maybe it isn't always the strongest way.
Speaker 1: Maybe it won't work, maybe it will work. But I
Speaker 1: can't fault them for at least trying to get these
Speaker 1: guys over. So I don't really understand the people who
Speaker 1: are like Jack Perry and Daniel Garcia. Again, you don't
Speaker 1: have to like them. You may think they're not the
Speaker 1: right person for the spot, but I can at least
Speaker 1: sit here and acknowledge that that's a plus the fact
Speaker 1: that he's trying to get over some of his younger,
Speaker 1: less established talents, and that was a theme that I
Speaker 1: noticed in particular with those two during the show tonight.
Speaker 1: But that's two matches right there that are official now
Speaker 1: for all out in ten days. The other one, the
Speaker 1: one that I'm most looking forward to, was made official,
Speaker 1: and that is Swarve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page. We
Speaker 1: are finally going to get them one on one, and
Speaker 1: it is going to be inside of a steel cage.
Speaker 1: So as violent as their Texas Death match was last
Speaker 1: year at full gear, We're in for another violent spectacle.
Speaker 1: I suspect with these two in Chicago in ten days
Speaker 1: that I am looking forward to. And will Osbury, we
Speaker 1: already know, given that he regained his title on Sunday,
Speaker 1: is going to be defending the International Championship against Pack.
Speaker 1: That's four matches right there. This is the first show
Speaker 1: coming out of All In. We already know the top
Speaker 1: four matches on the show at All Out. Rickochet in
Speaker 1: his very first match here on Dynamite, first singles match
Speaker 1: in aw main events. The show went one on one
Speaker 1: tonight with Kyle Fletcher. John Moxley is back. He was
Speaker 1: conspicuous by his absence at the end of the show
Speaker 1: on Sunday. With all the other members of the Blackpool
Speaker 1: Combat Club and Pack out there to celebrate with Brian Danielson,
Speaker 1: there was no John Moxley. Now we know why. I'm
Speaker 1: not even sure there's really a Blackpool Combat Club affiliation
Speaker 1: anymore with John Moxley. After what we said tonight, John
Speaker 1: Moxley going in a different direction. There's a weird story brewing.
Speaker 1: This was the first shot fired and whatever this story
Speaker 1: is going to be, wherever this is going to lead to.
Speaker 1: There is a new side to John Moxley that we
Speaker 1: saw tonight, and that's very interesting. Now it makes more
Speaker 1: sense why he wasn't there on Sunday. Story is the
Speaker 1: keyword there. This was a very story driven episode of Dynamite.
Speaker 1: I am not going to sit here and call this
Speaker 1: one of the stronger episodes of the show all year
Speaker 1: because it was not even close. The first hour I
Speaker 1: thought was real good. The second hour fell off. Second
Speaker 1: hour was definitely the weaker of the two, but I
Speaker 1: thought it's set the table nicely for the pay per
Speaker 1: view in ten days. It is not ideal to have
Speaker 1: two weeks between pay per views. That should never happen.
Speaker 1: I don't care what promotion it is wwe AW the
Speaker 1: product is hot, the product is cold, they're sold out,
Speaker 1: they're not sold out. I don't give a shit. You
Speaker 1: should not have two weeks between pay per views. But
Speaker 1: normally it wouldn't even be that much. Tony Kahan bumped
Speaker 1: it back the extra week because we have, of course,
Speaker 1: Bash and Berlin is coming up this weekend. I think
Speaker 1: he wanted some separation there, so it is better having
Speaker 1: that extra week, and hopefully going forward we won't have
Speaker 1: these situations where we have one week between pay per views,
Speaker 1: or frankly even two weeks. But two weeks is definitely
Speaker 1: better than one. We're going to get into everything that
Speaker 1: happened here on this show because it was a Newsworthy show.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of things going on tonight, so
Speaker 1: we'll talk about all of it. This is your aw
Speaker 1: Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, August twenty eighth. The show
Speaker 1: opened with a surprise appearance by John Moxley, who, as
Speaker 1: I said, was not present, noticeably absent from all in
Speaker 1: this weekend. But there he was, coming through the crowd.
Speaker 1: And not only was he entering through the crowd, which
Speaker 1: he always does, but he was entering through the crowd
Speaker 1: not to Wild Thing. He came out to his death
Speaker 1: Rider theme from New Japan. So you know, now this
Speaker 1: is a different John Moxley. Now this is not Wild Thing,
Speaker 1: John Moxley. This is New Japan John Moxley. And he
Speaker 1: looked annoyed, he looked like he had something on his mind.
Speaker 1: Tony Shavanni got in the ring to speak to him.
Speaker 1: Said it's been two months since we've seen Moxley at
Speaker 1: Forbidden Door, and Shavanni was trying to be very folksy, SA,
Speaker 1: how you doing, How you doing, John, How's it going,
Speaker 1: how's life treating you. Moxley says he's been doing a
Speaker 1: lot of thinking about things that need to get done.
Speaker 1: He came here tonight looking for a man who is
Speaker 1: not here to have a long overdue conversation Darby. Allen says,
Speaker 1: it's about time the two of us had a talk.
Speaker 1: Says he's not going to be a hard man to find,
Speaker 1: so he to go leave. But then he came back
Speaker 1: and said, it's gonna take some time for everyone to
Speaker 1: wrap their brains around this. He looked at Shavanni and
Speaker 1: this was the key line here from the promo. He
Speaker 1: looked at Shavanni and he said, this is not your
Speaker 1: company anymore. And with that he left and Tony Shavanni
Speaker 1: stood in the ring looking confused, maybe because Moxley was
Speaker 1: addressing the wrong Tony. Yeah, there's a lot of Tony's
Speaker 1: in this company, but I think he may have gotten
Speaker 1: them a little bit mixed up here. Maybe he just
Speaker 1: figured Tony Kahan is always in Shavanni's ear, and so
Speaker 1: he says it to Shavanni, He's basically saying it to
Speaker 1: Tony Kahan. Uh So, my first thought was the same
Speaker 1: thought that I'm sure a lot of you, which is
Speaker 1: Shane McMahon, and you're gonna be hearing a lot of
Speaker 1: people talking about Shane McMahon and speculating about Shane McMahon
Speaker 1: because I think that's the intent here, whether or not
Speaker 1: we get Shane McMahon out of this, I think that's
Speaker 1: what Tony Kuhn wants you to think. He wants people
Speaker 1: to talk, he wants to create a buzz, he wants
Speaker 1: to create conversation around where this story is going. But
Speaker 1: there's a very real possibility that this is the first
Speaker 1: tease for the impending debut of Shane McMahon. We know
Speaker 1: Shane had a meeting with Tony Kahn not that long ago,
Speaker 1: about a month ago. Now both men admitted it. Shane
Speaker 1: McMahon put a statement out about it after that weird
Speaker 1: photo got leaked, and then Tony Kahn talked about it
Speaker 1: went really well. We had a great conversation as the
Speaker 1: sons of you know of people who have been very successful,
Speaker 1: and what that's like, the pros and the cons they'll
Speaker 1: fun intended. So we know that there was at least
Speaker 1: one conversation, one meeting between the two of them. And
Speaker 1: I've made my thoughts very clear about it that I
Speaker 1: am no fan of bringing Shane McMahon into AW. I
Speaker 1: don't think that's the answer to any of their problems.
Speaker 1: I don't think Shane McMahon is any sort of long
Speaker 1: term solution to what ails this company. Could you bring
Speaker 1: him in and could there be some interesting story that
Speaker 1: you could tell with him, as far as like one storyline,
Speaker 1: if you hit just the right storyline, sure, you could
Speaker 1: always try to come up with some kind of interesting story.
Speaker 1: But again, people let their imaginations run wild and they think,
Speaker 1: oh my god, if Shane McMahon comes into AW, this
Speaker 1: could be a game changer. You know. Shane'sy's such a
Speaker 1: creative guy. He's got all these ideas that I would
Speaker 1: love to know what they are. Nobody could tell me.
Speaker 1: But it gets people excited because the idea of a
Speaker 1: McMahon being part of any wrestling organization other than WWE
Speaker 1: is just such a mind fuck that I think if
Speaker 1: a McMahon walked to any McMahon, let alone, Shane walked
Speaker 1: out there on dynamite. It would blow up the Internet,
Speaker 1: it would blow up social media, and it would for
Speaker 1: one week and that everything would come right back down
Speaker 1: to earth. This is what I try to explain to people.
Speaker 1: But the key line there is this isn't your company anymore.
Speaker 1: That's what gets you wondering if that has anything to
Speaker 1: do with Shane possibly being brought in. Are they going
Speaker 1: to bring him in as a a new investor? You know,
Speaker 1: is this where this is going? Is he going to
Speaker 1: be brought in in that kind of capacity and kind
Speaker 1: of lead his own brigade in some way? And again,
Speaker 1: you know, people look at before anybody even starts making
Speaker 1: comparisons or fantasy booking something along the lines of an
Speaker 1: nWo style invasion, don't please, don't the two things. No
Speaker 1: matter what they come up with here, if it's anything similar,
Speaker 1: the two things cannot be any different. They're not the same.
Speaker 1: It would never work. It would have to be completely
Speaker 1: something completely divorced from what that was, because it just
Speaker 1: doesn't work. And by the way, John Moxley has been
Speaker 1: part of this company since nearly day one. I mean
Speaker 1: this company didn't even get TV until October of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Moxley was already in the company at that point. He's
Speaker 1: been there since the beginning. He's been there for five
Speaker 1: years now. When I look at John Moxley, I associate
Speaker 1: him with AW every bit as much as I ever
Speaker 1: did with WWE. He's as much an AW guy, if
Speaker 1: not more, in my eyes than he was a WWE guy,
Speaker 1: even though he was there for a few more years.
Speaker 1: So this any sort of invasion idea that people want
Speaker 1: to come up with leading the charge for some kind
Speaker 1: of it doesn't work. Okay, it just doesn't work. But
Speaker 1: later in the show, in the back, Moxley was walking around,
Speaker 1: I think he was leaving, and the cameraman catches up
Speaker 1: to him and says, hey, John, John, you know, what
Speaker 1: was that comment you made about earlier? What was that about?
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? And we had a
Speaker 1: raging woman who showed up on the scene because Moxley
Speaker 1: is standing there, and there's these two young men who
Speaker 1: happened to be standing there talking to each other, wrong place,
Speaker 1: wrong time. This raging woman shows up and starts kicking
Speaker 1: their asses and she's got her back turned. So we
Speaker 1: can't see who it is at first, but then we
Speaker 1: see that it's Marina Shaffir, and then Moxley. He looks
Speaker 1: at these two guys on the ground and he says
Speaker 1: that this was a lesson in humility, and he walks
Speaker 1: off and they leave together. You know, she shoves the
Speaker 1: cameraman down and they go They walk off together. So
Speaker 1: now there's some kind of connection involving John Moxley and
Speaker 1: Marina Shaffir, which has me very confused. But it does
Speaker 1: make me wonder if we're looking at him assembling a
Speaker 1: new crew as he's leaving the Blackpool Combat Club behind
Speaker 1: and wasn't there on Sunday as part of the Brian
Speaker 1: Dangelson celebration, and maybe he's going to form his own crew.
Speaker 1: The thought that I had on the Shane McMahon stuff,
Speaker 1: if in fact Shane has anything to do with this
Speaker 1: and ends up being brought in as part of this
Speaker 1: one way that they could make this work. We still
Speaker 1: have not heard anything about the new television deal. We're
Speaker 1: still waiting on word about this Warner Brothers Discovery deal,
Speaker 1: the new contract. The announcement could come at any time.
Speaker 1: It's expected to come at any time. What if in
Speaker 1: storyline they were to work it where when the new
Speaker 1: deal is finally announced, they kind of tie it into
Speaker 1: the storyline. They announced it on TV as well, but
Speaker 1: as part of that deal, Shane McMahon is brought in
Speaker 1: as part of that deal, right, maybe they try to
Speaker 1: work him into the deal in some way, just from
Speaker 1: a storyline perspective, that could be one way to introduce him.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're waiting and they're going to tie all this
Speaker 1: in together when the announcement is made. It was just
Speaker 1: a thought. I was just thinking about ways in which
Speaker 1: they could go about, you know, introducing him into the
Speaker 1: fold here. It's still not something I have any great
Speaker 1: interest in seeing. I am intrigued though, to see where
Speaker 1: the Moxley story is going to go. What I like
Speaker 1: about it is the fact that they're doing something different
Speaker 1: with John Moxley. You know, John Moxley is somebody that
Speaker 1: could use a reboot. You know, he's been doing the
Speaker 1: same stuff for a long time, and so doing something
Speaker 1: different with him, or a heel turn and breaking him
Speaker 1: away from the BCC doing something different. I think that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. I think that's a positive. I have
Speaker 1: no idea as far as the Marina Shafir thing and
Speaker 1: exactly which direction they're going to go with this, but
Speaker 1: it's the beginning of a story. Where that story is
Speaker 1: going to go. We'll have to tune in to find out.
Speaker 1: The Elite story has been a flop, the stuff with
Speaker 1: the Bucks and the EVPs, and they're running the show,
Speaker 1: and they're running counter to Tony Kahn. That whole storyline
Speaker 1: was a bust. This is a chance for them to
Speaker 1: start something new. This could be their new big storyline
Speaker 1: and where it goes, We'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 1: Why does Moxley want to talk to Darby Allen? What
Speaker 1: does Darby Allen have to do with this? Is Moxley
Speaker 1: going to cost Darby Allen his championship match a Grand
Speaker 1: Slam next month? I don't know. Are they gonna few?
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a match, it seems like it. So
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by that. The Shane McMahon thing again, first
Speaker 1: thing I thought of when he said that line. But
Speaker 1: we just are going to take away and see approach
Speaker 1: on this and see how it plays out. A lot
Speaker 1: of different ways they could potentially go with this. We
Speaker 1: had Hangman Adam page one on one with tomohiro Ishi,
Speaker 1: who has been on excursion here in the States. He's
Speaker 1: been here for several weeks now, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if this was the end of his excursion. He's going
Speaker 1: back to Japan if this was it for the time being.
Speaker 1: But if it was, I will say he went out
Speaker 1: with a hell of a battle. They got almost twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: so they gave him a long time. They went through
Speaker 1: two commercial breaks. These two beat the shit out of
Speaker 1: each other. These two beat the holy hell out of
Speaker 1: each other for nearly twenty minutes. Is she At one
Speaker 1: point he dropped Hangman with his own dead eye, And honestly,
Speaker 1: I think what happened is is she is not a
Speaker 1: tall man. Hangman is taller than him, and I think
Speaker 1: he was too tall for is She to be doing
Speaker 1: that move because he he looked like he dropped him
Speaker 1: on his head. You know, Hangman does that move all
Speaker 1: the time, and you know he's a pro at doing
Speaker 1: it because it's part of his arsenal. In this case,
Speaker 1: it looked like, I mean, he got dropped, He got
Speaker 1: dropped on like the side of his head, his neck.
Speaker 1: It looked like a pretty brutal landing there. But I
Speaker 1: think it was because he was too tall for Is
Speaker 1: She to be doing that move. Page came back with
Speaker 1: the dead eye of his own and then he finished
Speaker 1: es She off with the Buckshaw lariot after a hard
Speaker 1: fought match. This was no squash. Is She made Hangman
Speaker 1: work for it, and some people may not agree with that,
Speaker 1: but Tony Kahan really likes is She and is She
Speaker 1: is a veteran of New Japan, and I think this
Speaker 1: is something that people have to keep in mind when
Speaker 1: it comes to this stuff. AW has a working arrangement,
Speaker 1: they have a relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Is
Speaker 1: She is a veteran of New Japan Pro wrest So
Speaker 1: you can't expect that they're going to send him over
Speaker 1: to AAW and they're going to send him out there
Speaker 1: and they're gonna mistreat him or they're going to just
Speaker 1: job him out in five minutes. That's why we've seen
Speaker 1: him featured so heavily on television. He was even on
Speaker 1: the pre show on Sunday teaming with Willow Nightingale against
Speaker 1: Chris stat Lander and Stokeley Halfaway, and then tonight he
Speaker 1: goes out there and has a long match with Hangman
Speaker 1: Page one of the top stars in the company. So
Speaker 1: when you say why is Ishi going seventeen minutes with Hangman?
Speaker 1: There are other factors of play here. There's a relationship
Speaker 1: that Tony Kahan wants to make sure he keeps intact.
Speaker 1: He keeps them happy, and he treats their talent well
Speaker 1: when they come over. Ishi falls into that category. That's
Speaker 1: why after the match was over, Swerve, Strickland, and Prince
Speaker 1: Nana headed to the rings. Swerve did not look happy
Speaker 1: after losing his championship on Sunday to Brian Danielson. Swerve
Speaker 1: gets into the ring says that what he should do
Speaker 1: is turn Hangman into a bloody mess right now for
Speaker 1: getting involved in his championship match at all. In but
Speaker 1: he came out here to tell us that he feels
Speaker 1: sorry for Hangman. He may not have a championship around
Speaker 1: his waist right now, but Swerve says he will always
Speaker 1: be referred to as a world champion. So he told
Speaker 1: Hangman that he failed in whatever he came out there
Speaker 1: trying to do. Hangman started screaming, because of course he's unhinged.
Speaker 1: Starts screaming that Swerve is not a champion of anything.
Speaker 1: You're a piece of shit, says, you broke into my home.
Speaker 1: He can't can't let that go. You broke into my home,
Speaker 1: and he goes, I wrestled you three times, and you can
Speaker 1: never beat me up on your own, he said. The
Speaker 1: first time it took Prince Nana. The second time it
Speaker 1: took Prince Nana and Brian Cage. Third time it took
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. And you weren't good enough, says he's not
Speaker 1: as good as Hangman is. He just wants Swerve or
Speaker 1: he wants just Swerve and him. He doesn't want anybody
Speaker 1: else involved. He just wants the two of them, just
Speaker 1: like this all began. That was at Wressell Dream last year.
Speaker 1: Swerve says, you want to lock them out, You want
Speaker 1: to lock all those people out. How about we lock
Speaker 1: us in? Says all out? You and me steal cage match.
Speaker 1: He says he took it all the way back here
Speaker 1: to Revolution, the two of them in Samoa. Joe Hangman
Speaker 1: gave up in the middle of the ring, not because
Speaker 1: he was beaten, but because he did not want Swerve
Speaker 1: to have it, and that pisses Swerve off. But he
Speaker 1: did something Hangman didn't know about. This is a little
Speaker 1: something that we didn't know that Swerve had done. He
Speaker 1: drove ten minutes up the road that morning to Hangman's house,
Speaker 1: place that he knows very well. He parked out front.
Speaker 1: He saw Hangman escorting his pregnant wife down the stairs.
Speaker 1: Their bags were packed, getting in the car, driving off
Speaker 1: to the hospital. He was about to become a father.
Speaker 1: Hangman was for the second time in his life. That's
Speaker 1: when Swerve realized he doesn't need to be focused on Hangman.
Speaker 1: What he needs to be focused on is the AEW
Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Championship. He won it and he will win
Speaker 1: it again. But Hangman is so focused on him, says
Speaker 1: he can't win the Owen talking about Hangman. Now, you
Speaker 1: can't win the Owen, says you can't win the Casino Gauntlet.
Speaker 1: You'll let your team down to blood and guts because
Speaker 1: you were so focused on me. Instead of trying to
Speaker 1: burn swerves world to the ground. It's Hangman's world that
Speaker 1: has gone up in flames. He said in that cage,
Speaker 1: what kind of man are you going to be? What
Speaker 1: kind of man are you going to show your kids
Speaker 1: that you're going to be? So Hangman backed up a
Speaker 1: few steps and then he left left the ring, walked
Speaker 1: to the back. So we had Swerve here telling Hangman
Speaker 1: go home and be a family man, leave the work
Speaker 1: to me. Hangman has been dying to get his hands
Speaker 1: on this man, even Sunday right security had to hold
Speaker 1: him back in the main event from getting into the ring.
Speaker 1: He has been doing everything in his power to try
Speaker 1: to get at Swerve Strickland, and here's his chance. It's
Speaker 1: just the two of them in the ring together, no security,
Speaker 1: no handcuffs, no nothing, and he leaves. He walks away,
Speaker 1: saving it for the cage in ten days. I love it.
Speaker 1: That is a huge match for Tony Kahan to leverage
Speaker 1: now for their pay per view coming up, because again
Speaker 1: this quick turnaround on the pay per views, you better
Speaker 1: have some nice attractions for that show. Hangman and Swerve,
Speaker 1: this blood feud that's been going on now for almost
Speaker 1: a year. Putting them in a cage for the first time,
Speaker 1: that's a great attraction for that show. It sounded from
Speaker 1: Swerve's promo like he was tempting Hangman almost to tap
Speaker 1: in to his violent side again. Hard to imagine anything
Speaker 1: being more violent than the Texas deathmatch these two had
Speaker 1: last year at Full Gear, but I think this is
Speaker 1: gonna be violent, It's gonna be bloody. I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see it. This was also the first time and I
Speaker 1: noticed this, This was the first time that we have
Speaker 1: seen Swerve without his title since losing it on Sunday.
Speaker 1: He still walked out there and had a presence about
Speaker 1: him as champion, even though he's not the champion anymore.
Speaker 1: So for whatever people want to say, because now I
Speaker 1: guess we could kind of do the post mortem if
Speaker 1: you would, on his title run now that this first
Speaker 1: run is over, for whatever people want to say about
Speaker 1: Hangman's run or Swerve's run rather and I know people
Speaker 1: are disappointed that they took the title off of him.
Speaker 1: They felt like they did him dirty, that he was
Speaker 1: just getting started, and how come they took it from
Speaker 1: him so soon He only wanted you know, back in April.
Speaker 1: I wish he would have had it for longer too.
Speaker 1: But just because he lost the championship does not mean
Speaker 1: that this run was a failure. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: not a failure. And I'll tell you exactly why it's
Speaker 1: not a failure. It wasn't a success because he beat
Speaker 1: will Ospray. It wasn't a success because he got to
Speaker 1: headline Wembley Stadium in front of fifty three thousand people,
Speaker 1: and he beat Samoa Joe, and he beat Christian Cage,
Speaker 1: and he won blooding guts for his team, and all
Speaker 1: these things that happened during his run as champion. It's
Speaker 1: not even that a measure of how successful of a
Speaker 1: title run I think someone has, especially someone it's their
Speaker 1: first run, right, They weren't at this level before. This
Speaker 1: is all new to them. This was his first time
Speaker 1: as a world champion in a major promotion, in just
Speaker 1: his first appearance. Coming out, it still felt to me
Speaker 1: like he was at that level. He came out there,
Speaker 1: there was just a certain, like I said, presence about
Speaker 1: him out there. It just felt like he was elevated
Speaker 1: to a level that he wasn't at before. That's where
Speaker 1: he is now. He didn't walk out there feeling like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's right back down a few rungs down the ladder.
Speaker 1: I think they have successfully managed to integrate him into
Speaker 1: the main event scene in this company in a way
Speaker 1: where he'll be there. People worried that he might get
Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle. He's going to go right back
Speaker 1: to the position he was in before. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's really a concern anymore. I think he's going to
Speaker 1: be okay. I think the fact that he also just
Speaker 1: signed one of the biggest contracts in aw history to
Speaker 1: renew and he's going to be locked in with them
Speaker 1: through twenty twenty eight is another positive sign of how
Speaker 1: Tony Khan feels about Swart Strickland. That to me is
Speaker 1: more of a measure of the success of this run
Speaker 1: than anything else. How is he booked now, how is
Speaker 1: he portrayed now? How does he come off on television?
Speaker 1: I thought he came off great here, even without the
Speaker 1: belt around his wist. I'm hopeful that that will continue.
Speaker 1: We had the in ring return of Jamie Hayter for
Speaker 1: the first time in fifteen months, one on one with
Speaker 1: Harley Cameron speaking of being excited for returns. I was
Speaker 1: very happy to see Jamie Hayter back on Sunday. Nobody
Speaker 1: was happier than I was to see her walk out there.
Speaker 1: Because this woman has been gone for so long. I
Speaker 1: was starting to worry that she was never going to
Speaker 1: come back. Now they had her on the pre show,
Speaker 1: Ideally they would have had her on the main card
Speaker 1: and looking back at the formatting of the card, and
Speaker 1: we talked about this. I addressed this on TNT last
Speaker 1: night on JD's channel. That segment with her and Sirea
Speaker 1: really should have been on the main card. That would
Speaker 1: have been a good buffer segment between the MJF will
Speaker 1: Osprey match and what came after it, which is a
Speaker 1: big part also of why the match with Mercedes and
Speaker 1: Britt Baker died. Not that it was a great match.
Speaker 1: It wasn't. Even Mercedes in her newsletter was admitting that
Speaker 1: there are things she would have done differently. I mean
Speaker 1: that's basically her saying, yeah, this was not my best match,
Speaker 1: but that segment would have been a great buffer segment
Speaker 1: on the card. My guess is they were running low
Speaker 1: on time. Time management was not great, so it was
Speaker 1: on the pre show instead. But I'm just glad that
Speaker 1: she's back. She's got a new look now, she's got
Speaker 1: a new look. Now. There were a lot of comparisons
Speaker 1: that were being made on social media about her and
Speaker 1: Becky Lynch, and I can't unsee it now because she's
Speaker 1: got the red hair, she's got the very colorful outfit
Speaker 1: when she comes out, and yes, now that it's been
Speaker 1: put in my brain. I can't unsee it. Hater did
Speaker 1: not get much out of Harley Cameron here. There was
Speaker 1: one spot where Harley tried a springboard bulldog that went
Speaker 1: a little haywire, But this was just a quick match
Speaker 1: to get Hater back in the wind column and re
Speaker 1: established on TV. She hit three hate breakers, which is
Speaker 1: her rock bottom across the knee three times, and then
Speaker 1: one with the hater Aide lariat. Obviously, they're building to
Speaker 1: a match with her and Soraya based on what happened
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and then even here, Soraya was out there
Speaker 1: in Harley's corner. That's why this match happened in the
Speaker 1: first place. This was an extension of what happened on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and then when the match was over, Soraya wanted no
Speaker 1: part of Jamie Hayter and she fled into the crowd.
Speaker 1: So I don't know that it'll be announced for all
Speaker 1: out necessarily, it probably should be, but it could also
Speaker 1: end up being a TV match. But Hater and Soreya
Speaker 1: are going to have a match at some point in
Speaker 1: these next few weeks. Just very happy to have her back,
Speaker 1: and they've obviously split her away from Britt Baker, and
Speaker 1: there may be personal reasons for that, as we have
Speaker 1: come to know, come to find out, and that's fine.
Speaker 1: You know, last thing this company needs more of is
Speaker 1: fucking drama. Is if they don't have enough of that already.
Speaker 1: So Jamie Hater is going to be just fine on
Speaker 1: her own. Eventually, she'll work her way back up to
Speaker 1: a championship match the title. That so when last we
Speaker 1: saw her, she was wrestling for the championship. She lost
Speaker 1: it to Tony Storm. Now what I want to see
Speaker 1: is Jamie Hater against Mariah May. But that's a match
Speaker 1: that you could save I think for early next year,
Speaker 1: maybe a Revolution Grand Slam. Grand Slam in February of
Speaker 1: next year is going to be in a big stadium
Speaker 1: in Brisbane down in Australia. You do the match there,
Speaker 1: That's the match I want to see them. Rene was
Speaker 1: backstage with Chris Jericho, Big Bill, Brian Keith, and Roderick Strong,
Speaker 1: who were he was teaming with the Learning Tree Guys tonight.
Speaker 1: She asked Big Bill about the positive reception he got
Speaker 1: from the UK fans, and Bill said that he learned
Speaker 1: from Jericho that fan reactions are like leaves. They change
Speaker 1: and Fall is right around the corner. Could have fooled
Speaker 1: me ninety three fucking degrees here in New York today.
Speaker 1: I can't wait for Fall. Jericho did his stick as
Speaker 1: he Sai that he was proud of Hook. He said
Speaker 1: he was proud of Hook for beating him to win
Speaker 1: the FTW Championship. On Sunday. Roderick Strong said that he
Speaker 1: was proud of being in the Jericho Vortex. Eh sorry,
Speaker 1: and he wanted Jericho's help to take care of Orange Cassidy.
Speaker 1: Jericho said that Cassidy would pay for ruining his seven
Speaker 1: thousand dollars jacket three years ago. His seven thousand dollars suit.
Speaker 1: That was back when they were feuding. Remember they had
Speaker 1: the Mimosa Mayhem match at Daily's place during the pandemic
Speaker 1: shows that they did. Still talking about that fucking jacket.
Speaker 1: You all remember Mimosa Mayhem. Don't you think every night
Speaker 1: in Jericho's hotel room is Mimosa Mayhem. We had the
Speaker 1: now former aw American Champion MJF making his way down
Speaker 1: to the ring for the next segment, coming off of
Speaker 1: one of the best matches all year with Will Ostin.
Speaker 1: Now that's Mohito I've been corrected. In Jericho's hotel room,
Speaker 1: it is Mohito men now, actually it's probably Gray Goose
Speaker 1: madness is what it is. Well, let's not talk about
Speaker 1: what goes on in Jericho's hotel room. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: this MJF segment. Here he gets into the ring. He's
Speaker 1: got athletic tape up and down his neck, in tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of pain, he said after taking the Tiger Driver
Speaker 1: ninety one on Sunday, he said he's lost his ring,
Speaker 1: which he had tweeted before the pay per view on
Speaker 1: Sunday that somebody had stolen his ring, which I thought
Speaker 1: was going to play into the match on Sunday, and
Speaker 1: it didn't, which made me think that the ring really
Speaker 1: did get stolen. It may well have been stolen, whatever
Speaker 1: the case may be. He doesn't have it anymore. He
Speaker 1: says he lost his ring, he's lost his championship, and
Speaker 1: now he has two herniated discs in his spine, and
Speaker 1: where were the fan? By the way, can we address
Speaker 1: this in a storyline fashion? Here? The man has two
Speaker 1: He's been diagnosed with two herniated disks in his spine.
Speaker 1: He's in a tremendous in his words, tremendous amount of pain.
Speaker 1: Evidently the AW medical staff does not give a fuck
Speaker 1: about MJF because they're putting him in the ring. Tony
Speaker 1: conn Is greenlit this match with Daniel Garcia in ten days.
Speaker 1: Apparently he's good to go or they're rough in that company.
Speaker 1: They they don't give a shit. But he says, where
Speaker 1: were the fans? Says when he was defending his country,
Speaker 1: none of them had his back. So he hereby denounces
Speaker 1: his American citizenship. He will no longer be associated with
Speaker 1: this garbage country. The only place that matters is the
Speaker 1: most magical place in the world, which is plain View,
Speaker 1: New York. He said, this company without MJF is a circus.
Speaker 1: And speaking of circus acts, Will Osprey, the whole world
Speaker 1: knows that I had you beat, He says, so what
Speaker 1: you did? You cheated like a gutless little worm. He says,
Speaker 1: this is not over. He told Osprey to keep his
Speaker 1: head on a swivel. One day he knows that Osprey
Speaker 1: is gonna come this close to winning the big One,
Speaker 1: to winning the AW World Heavyweight Championship, and he'll be
Speaker 1: there to cut him off with the knees with a smile.
Speaker 1: On his face. And last but not least, the worst
Speaker 1: of them all, the scum of them all, the little
Speaker 1: child that he tried to help, the little boy, but
Speaker 1: he wasn't smart enough to realize it. Daniel Garcia. He says,
Speaker 1: if he shows his face again, he's going to end
Speaker 1: his life. And at that exact moment, Garcia slides into
Speaker 1: the ring behind him and attacks MJF from behind, then
Speaker 1: locks him in a guillotine choke puts him out within
Speaker 1: three seconds. MJF goes limp like Richard Belzer with Hulk Hogan,
Speaker 1: and down he goes. So then he said, gets him
Speaker 1: up for a pile driver. But then he stops and
Speaker 1: he turns. Garcia does. He turns and he looks at
Speaker 1: the corner, looks at the turnbuckles. So he places MJF
Speaker 1: on the top rope and he is going to set
Speaker 1: up for a pile driver. Off the ropes security though
Speaker 1: hits the ring. He starts knocking him down like bowling
Speaker 1: pins until MJF ambushes him from behind, and then he
Speaker 1: goes on the offensive. Garcia turns the tables, sets him
Speaker 1: back up on the top rope, and again he tries
Speaker 1: to pile drive him but Christopher Daniels and more reinforcements
Speaker 1: hit the ring. MJF manages to scurry out of the
Speaker 1: ring and escape. Tries to get back into the ring,
Speaker 1: but more security comes out to restrain him as well.
Speaker 1: So Garcia asks for a microphone, and he's all fired up,
Speaker 1: and he says that he pawned mjf's diamond ring in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: New York for a round trip to London to ruin
Speaker 1: the biggest night of his life. No wonder he's looking
Speaker 1: to leave. No wonder he has a up his mind
Speaker 1: yet about whether or not he wants to re sign
Speaker 1: with this company. What is Tony Khan paying this guy
Speaker 1: that he has to go pawn off a diamond ring
Speaker 1: to fly himself overseas for the show? The fuck says,
Speaker 1: you know what's bad his mother watching him get wheeled
Speaker 1: out on a stretcher on the biggest night of his life.
Speaker 1: That's bad. Ruining mjf's life is all he thinks about.
Speaker 1: It's his fetish, TMI. You know, hey teach their own
Speaker 1: I don't need to know. I don't need to know
Speaker 1: his business. I'm just saying. But he says it's his fetish,
Speaker 1: and he talked to Tony Khan right down the road
Speaker 1: in Chicago, because they were in Champagne, Illinois tonight. MJF
Speaker 1: against Daniel Garcia at all out herniated disks be damned,
Speaker 1: He said, beating him in a match is not enough
Speaker 1: for him. He won't feel fulfilled until he drops him
Speaker 1: on his head and breaks his neck. And if there
Speaker 1: is anybody else on this planet that cares about him
Speaker 1: at all, they're gonna have to watch and suffer with him.
Speaker 1: And then he chucked the microphone all the way. MJF
Speaker 1: was like more than halfway up the ramp, and he
Speaker 1: launched that microphone and he nailed him dead on. Like
Speaker 1: the fucking Mets can use this guy. He's got to know.
Speaker 1: With an arm like that, the Mets could definitely use
Speaker 1: him out of the bullpen. There was a good fire here.
Speaker 1: There was good fire here from Garcia. I thought this
Speaker 1: was his best work on the microphone to date, which
Speaker 1: is not to say that he's a great promo. He's not.
Speaker 1: But of the promos I have heard him cut here
Speaker 1: on this television program, this was the best of all
Speaker 1: the ones that I could think of, all the ones
Speaker 1: that I can remember, and that microphone toss was spot on.
Speaker 1: Now I mentioned his contract for those who may have
Speaker 1: missed it or just assumed that him showing up at
Speaker 1: all in means he's resigned with the company. He has not,
Speaker 1: and as far as we know, the latest update on
Speaker 1: Daniel Garcia is that he still has not yet made
Speaker 1: up his mind about what he wants to do. He
Speaker 1: has not signed a he has not signed a renewal.
Speaker 1: His contract is set to be up in October, so
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of time left on there.
Speaker 1: My gut again, this is just my gut. Nothing that
Speaker 1: you know I know of. I think he's gonna stay
Speaker 1: in AID. I think that AW is the right place
Speaker 1: for him to be anyway. I don't think WWE at
Speaker 1: this time is the right place for him to be.
Speaker 1: So I actually think he would be better off staying
Speaker 1: right where he is, And I'm sure Tony KHNN will
Speaker 1: offer him, you know, a good deal, hopefully a better
Speaker 1: one than he has now since apparently he's got a
Speaker 1: pawn off jewelry in order to fly himself to some
Speaker 1: of these shows. That was alarming to hear. This feels
Speaker 1: beneath MJF. Yes, that is a criticism I've heard with
Speaker 1: this whole MJF Daniel Garcia thing, but again, it's a
Speaker 1: chance for them to try to elevate Garcia. Creating new
Speaker 1: stars is not a bad thing for them to be doing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna work, but trying to
Speaker 1: create some new stars is something that I think this
Speaker 1: company should be doing more of. And there have been
Speaker 1: men who have been on that roster and are still
Speaker 1: on that roster, who are aw originals, who should right
Speaker 1: now be main inventors, who should right now be in
Speaker 1: a much better position than the one that they're in.
Speaker 1: So I certainly hope they have more success with Garcia
Speaker 1: if he stays, than they have had with certain other
Speaker 1: people who I don't even think I need to name.
Speaker 1: But that is the second grudge match now that has
Speaker 1: been added to this all out card. Garcia is out
Speaker 1: there talking about how he's obsessed. He's obsessed with ruining
Speaker 1: mjf's life. It's his fetish A little too similar to
Speaker 1: the Hangman Page Swerve Strickland stuff for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's almost a carbon copy Hangman Page is obsessed with
Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland. He too. Thank god he didn't use that
Speaker 1: word but he also seems to have a fetish for
Speaker 1: trying to fuck over swerve Strickland and get revenge on
Speaker 1: the man who ruined his life, who broke into his home,
Speaker 1: who threatened the safety and well being of his family,
Speaker 1: of his child. He is obsessed. Daniel Garcia comes out
Speaker 1: says the exact same thing. So a little too similar
Speaker 1: in that respect, I think, But that's too strong. Matches
Speaker 1: already set up for all out. Then we had what
Speaker 1: they billed as an all star eight man tag team match.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the lineup here, I'm wondering where the
Speaker 1: stars are. We have Hook, Orange, Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly and
Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe against Chris Jericho, Big Bill, Brian Keith and
Speaker 1: Roderick Strong. Big Bill did not go out there and
Speaker 1: get the kind of reception that he got in London
Speaker 1: over the weekend. He did not get all the cheers,
Speaker 1: but he was pretty prominently featured here in this match.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that Tony Kahn recognizes that he should be
Speaker 1: doing more with Bill. Said it in my review on Sunday.
Speaker 1: If anything comes out of this FTW Hook Jared stuff,
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more of a push for Big Bill.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying give him a monster push to the
Speaker 1: very top, but I'm saying do more with him, do
Speaker 1: more than just having him continue to be christ Jericho's
Speaker 1: lackey for another six months this learning tree stuff. The
Speaker 1: sooner it ends the better. The sooner they start winding
Speaker 1: down with it, the better. And the thing that I
Speaker 1: would like to see is him put Jericho in the
Speaker 1: dirt and then move on to something better. I think
Speaker 1: Tony Khan. I know Tony Khan heard those fans over
Speaker 1: the weekend, and even though that was the UK crowd
Speaker 1: doing UK things, I still think that they could definitely
Speaker 1: get more mileage out of Big Bill. He's very good.
Speaker 1: He's in the best shape of his career, right. I
Speaker 1: mean he looks he looks like a million bucks big guy.
Speaker 1: There's definitely more that you can do. Tony Khan does
Speaker 1: not have a great track record with big guys in
Speaker 1: this company. I'm hoping that they can buck that trend
Speaker 1: with Big Bill. Brian Keith also got time to shine
Speaker 1: in This Man. Roddy and Hook. They were the last
Speaker 1: man standing is Hook counter the end of Heartache into
Speaker 1: Red Rum. Roddy's foot was underneath the bottom rope when
Speaker 1: he started feverishly tapping out to red Rum. In the
Speaker 1: history of all time bad referee calls in this company,
Speaker 1: this is pretty high up on the list because we've
Speaker 1: seen ineptitude on a grand scale by these referees in
Speaker 1: this company, Rick Knox being at the head of that list,
Speaker 1: this was something else. So Roddy's foot is clearly under
Speaker 1: the bottom rope. Now, the argument is that Aubrey Edwards
Speaker 1: didn't see it. Can't call what you don't see. She
Speaker 1: saw Roddy tapping out. The thing is, as soon as
Speaker 1: Roddy started tapping out, she stands up and she literally
Speaker 1: literally steps over the outstretched leg of Roderick Strong to
Speaker 1: call for the bell. Now, if your argument is going
Speaker 1: to be that, well she didn't see it, right, see
Speaker 1: no evil here, no evil, she didn't see it. It's
Speaker 1: a little harder to argue that when the woman literally
Speaker 1: stands up and steps over the man's leg which is
Speaker 1: clearly under the bottom row. So this was very, very dumb.
Speaker 1: They wanted a disputed finish because they're building to a match,
Speaker 1: an FTW title match between Hook and Roderick Strong, So
Speaker 1: that's why they did the finish. The way they did,
Speaker 1: but it made Aubrey Edwards look like a fucking idiot.
Speaker 1: We've seen the referees in this company be made to
Speaker 1: look like fucking idiots on many occasions. But Tony Khan,
Speaker 1: you know, when he announced this match on Twitter the
Speaker 1: other day, he announced this big all star eight man
Speaker 1: tag team match, and he replied to himself, nobody said
Speaker 1: anything to Hey. He just went and replied to the
Speaker 1: initial tweet that he posted, and in the follow up
Speaker 1: tweet he said, sometimes you just have to trust me, said,
Speaker 1: I expect this match to rock. This match did not rock,
Speaker 1: and what came out of it, as I said, was
Speaker 1: an FTW title match tease between Roderick Strong and Hook,
Speaker 1: because when the match was over, Matt David and Mike
Speaker 1: Bennett they assaulted Hook with Roddy. Roddy then held up
Speaker 1: the FTW Championship. Well, I trusted him, and I was
Speaker 1: left unimpressed by what I saw coming out of this
Speaker 1: supposed all star eight man tag team match here. Hook
Speaker 1: lost the FTW Championship twice before and all in last
Speaker 1: year he had a challenge Jack Perry to get the
Speaker 1: belt back and he did. This year, he had to
Speaker 1: challenge Chris Jericho to get the belt back, and he did,
Speaker 1: and this time he had that really special, cool moment
Speaker 1: at the end of his match where he and his
Speaker 1: father had Stereo Taz missions locked in on different people
Speaker 1: at the exact same time, and when it was over,
Speaker 1: he went outside, he gave Taz a big old hug
Speaker 1: and they got a big reaction from the crowd of Wembley.
Speaker 1: It was a great moment, a great father and son
Speaker 1: bonding moment that should have been it for the FTW title.
Speaker 1: The FTW title's been around for a while in this company,
Speaker 1: It's had a good run. That moment felt like the
Speaker 1: right time to finally retire it and let Hook move
Speaker 1: on to do other things other than just keep constantly
Speaker 1: defending this title over and over and over again. So now,
Speaker 1: what is he eventually just gonna lose it again and
Speaker 1: have to fight to get the FTW title back? Is
Speaker 1: that what he's gonna be doing it all in next
Speaker 1: year in Texas? I mean, at what point do we
Speaker 1: move him beyond this stuff? That was an opportune time
Speaker 1: to just retire the FTW title once and for all,
Speaker 1: and they didn't do it. They're just gonna keep it
Speaker 1: around and keep doing it. I just don't understand it.
Speaker 1: I don't see the point. I don't see what's gained
Speaker 1: by just continuing to do this same thing. I don't
Speaker 1: see the point. Backstage, Mercedes Monet was hosting a party
Speaker 1: for herself after another successful defense of her TBS championship
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Private Party walked in. They mentioned that you
Speaker 1: can't have a party without Private Party, and they mentioned
Speaker 1: that Monette is defending her new Japan Strong Women's Championship
Speaker 1: against Momo Watanabe at the Capitol Collision Show this Friday.
Speaker 1: Then they started hitting on Mercedes, who they mentioned was
Speaker 1: single again, which is true. Her divorce became final recently,
Speaker 1: so she is now single. So they mentioned that and
Speaker 1: they started hitting on her. Kazuchka Okada steps in. He's
Speaker 1: at the party. He steps in between them to get
Speaker 1: in front of Mercedes. Mercedes then asks, so Kata, how
Speaker 1: do you say by bitch in Japanese? And Okada whispers
Speaker 1: something in her ear. He whispers some sweet rain maker
Speaker 1: nothings in her ear, and then she says, Sayinara, bitches,
Speaker 1: and then Private Party leaves and the segment ends with
Speaker 1: her getting Okada to do the Mercedes dance, the CEO
Speaker 1: dance that she does, and he's got a big smile
Speaker 1: on his face and he's all excited. This man is
Speaker 1: down bad for this woman. They've done this before, and
Speaker 1: some other segments where when he's around Mercedes, man he
Speaker 1: gets all hot and bothered. Right, he's got he's got
Speaker 1: a little setting there for Mercedes Monette. Now he's also
Speaker 1: being over protective of her. I don't know where this
Speaker 1: is leading to. I don't know if we're gonna get
Speaker 1: more interactions on a regular basis with Mercedes and Okada.
Speaker 1: I would love to know what Okada is doing next
Speaker 1: as far as an actual story, as far as an
Speaker 1: actual feud, that would be nice. But you know, we
Speaker 1: have seen Mercedes and Okada, even going back to some
Speaker 1: of the New Japan shows that they were on back
Speaker 1: when they were champion, even then, like celebrating together, holding
Speaker 1: up their titles together. There's always been a little bit
Speaker 1: of a kind of a mutual respect there between them.
Speaker 1: But now they're playing it off in a way on
Speaker 1: TV where Okada he's like a schoolboy around this girl.
Speaker 1: He's like a schoolboy with a crush. And there are
Speaker 1: some segments they do with him that are are funny
Speaker 1: and humorous. And then there are other times where I'll
Speaker 1: watch stuff like this and I'll go, what are they doing?
Speaker 1: What are they doing with him? He's becoming a comedy punchline.
Speaker 1: And it's true the people who want to say, well,
Speaker 1: if he was doing this in WWE, people would be
Speaker 1: raining down hell fire and brimstone on Paul Leveck for
Speaker 1: booking Okada as a fucking comedy character on the show.
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. It's a fair criticism. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that Okada he can't be entertain He's got to
Speaker 1: be stoic and serious, and you can't he can't laugh.
Speaker 1: The reality is, if you know anything about kazusko O Kada,
Speaker 1: the guy is a big fucking nerd. That's who he
Speaker 1: is in real life. He's a fucking geek. That's what
Speaker 1: gives him his charm. That's how he is in real life.
Speaker 1: In many ways, this is him being allowed to go
Speaker 1: out there on TV and be himself. But I do
Speaker 1: think that when you allow him to go out there
Speaker 1: and do that, if you do it too much, you're
Speaker 1: watering down someone who really should be a money attraction
Speaker 1: for Tony Kahan. So you got to walk that fine
Speaker 1: line like between entertaining and being serious as far as
Speaker 1: Okada is concerned, and I hope they're very careful with
Speaker 1: that because he's paying Okada a lot of money and
Speaker 1: Okada is one of the biggest names on that roster
Speaker 1: and one of his champions. And what I don't want
Speaker 1: to see him becoming is a lackey for Mercedes or
Speaker 1: a punchline where all he does is go around and say, bitch,
Speaker 1: just don't overdo it. That's my critique there. Tony Shavanni
Speaker 1: was on stage to introduce the new aw Women's World Champion,
Speaker 1: Mariah May. After her very good match with Tony Storm
Speaker 1: on Sunday, she comes out on stage. She's wearing a
Speaker 1: black robe that she's holding over her clothes, holding it shut.
Speaker 1: Said her title celebration that was scheduled for tonight has
Speaker 1: been postponed, and the reason it's been postponed is because
Speaker 1: she's not going to do it in this town. She
Speaker 1: said that she knows it's called champagne, but it would
Speaker 1: be or it should be renamed pisswarm beer. She insulted
Speaker 1: the women in the crowd as being below average and
Speaker 1: said that they were used to putting pisswarm beer in
Speaker 1: their mouths, among other things. She offered to provide us
Speaker 1: with a lesson in glamour and said that she would
Speaker 1: take off her robe and allow everyone two gays. And
Speaker 1: she took the robe off, and she revealed some black
Speaker 1: lingerie that she was wearing underneath with her aw Women's
Speaker 1: World title wrapped around her waist. So then she covered
Speaker 1: up again and said that's enough, and she walked to
Speaker 1: the back. I'm enjoying heal Mariah. I think she's great.
Speaker 1: I was hoping that we would get some indication of
Speaker 1: what she was going to be doing next, and we
Speaker 1: didn't get it. We don't know who her next opponent
Speaker 1: is going to be. Doesn't look like she's being set
Speaker 1: up for a match at all. Out I mean, there
Speaker 1: is one more dynamite left and collision, so we'll see.
Speaker 1: So underwhelming although we did get to I mean, look,
Speaker 1: we did get to see Mariah, may you know, take
Speaker 1: take her robe off and she was wearing lingerie, and
Speaker 1: so I can't sit here and say that was underwhelming.
Speaker 1: She's a beautiful woman, obviously, but I was expecting a
Speaker 1: little more than that. They didn't give us much, but
Speaker 1: it's always nice to see Mariah May. They got remarks
Speaker 1: from the grizzled young Veterans after all in London. It
Speaker 1: was from backstage they were talking to the Young Bucks,
Speaker 1: who pointed out that you know, hey, we both got
Speaker 1: the word young in our names. I guess it would
Speaker 1: be more like middle age Bucks. Now, what's going to
Speaker 1: happen when they, you know, ten years from now and
Speaker 1: they're still wrestling, to call themselves the young Bucks. I mean,
Speaker 1: you have the Rock and Roll Express still going around wrestling,
Speaker 1: but you know, they don't call themselves the Young rock
Speaker 1: and Roll Express, So that name is going to have
Speaker 1: to change at some point. I guess just the Bucks.
Speaker 1: I don't think the old Bucks or middle aged Bucks
Speaker 1: is very marketable. They'll just have to call themselves the Bucks.
Speaker 1: But GYV said that what happened on Sunday when they
Speaker 1: came out after the Young Bucks successful title defense, that
Speaker 1: was a message that they were sending not only did
Speaker 1: the champions, they were sending it to the entire tag
Speaker 1: ting division in aw And he said that or they
Speaker 1: said the Bucks need to grit their teeth when they
Speaker 1: see them coming. Afterwards, we come back Live and in
Speaker 1: the back we have the Grizzled Young Veterans and they're
Speaker 1: cutting another promo and they said that they're going to
Speaker 1: be wrestling the Outrunners on Rampage this Friday, and then
Speaker 1: they repeated their grit your teeth catchphrase. I'm not really
Speaker 1: sure why we needed this twice, but we got it twice,
Speaker 1: and they are a solid addition to that tag team division.
Speaker 1: They're a very good tag team, so I'm glad that
Speaker 1: they have been added to the division. I was speculating
Speaker 1: to myself on Sunday that I wonder if the spot
Speaker 1: that they got on Sunday was going to go to
Speaker 1: the Motor Sitting machine Guns had they decided to come
Speaker 1: to AW, because it doesn't look like they're coming to AW.
Speaker 1: I think if they were, we would have heard something.
Speaker 1: By now. They're likely on their way to NXT, and
Speaker 1: so I do wonder if either that spot postmatch was
Speaker 1: supposed to be for them instead of GYV, or probably
Speaker 1: more so, if the match at all in would have
Speaker 1: been the machine Guns in the Bucks for the Belts
Speaker 1: had they come over to AW, I suspect that would
Speaker 1: have been the match, or maybe if there was a
Speaker 1: four way, they would have been one of the teams.
Speaker 1: But I think the match. I think the match was
Speaker 1: the machine guns in the bucks. Had they come over,
Speaker 1: that would have been the all in match. On Sunday,
Speaker 1: we had Ricochet, rick o'sha is officially in aew and
Speaker 1: he made his in ring singles debut, his in ring
Speaker 1: Dynamite debut tonight against Kyle Fletcher. This was technically the
Speaker 1: main event of this show, so Ricochet and his very
Speaker 1: first nine gets the main event here on Dynamite retrokoh
Speaker 1: I got a pause here to thank him, also gifted
Speaker 1: ten memberships showing offman, anything you can do, I can
Speaker 1: do better. That's twenty. Keep him coming and enjoy the
Speaker 1: new emojis. Fletcher, I thought was the perfect person for
Speaker 1: Ricochet to dance with here in his first singles match.
Speaker 1: It was a very good match. Late in the match,
Speaker 1: Ricochet went for a splash from the top rope. Fletcher, though,
Speaker 1: got his leg up, booted him right in the chin.
Speaker 1: With Ricochet leaning up against the ropes, Fletcher connected with
Speaker 1: a running knee strike. Ricochet replied with a death valley
Speaker 1: driver for a near fall, and then he followed that
Speaker 1: with a lifting reverse DDT that he is calling vertigo.
Speaker 1: That is his new finish and he pinned Kyle Fletcher
Speaker 1: to win his debut match here again, debut singles match,
Speaker 1: very good stuff. I will say this. If anything surprised
Speaker 1: me about this match, it was how restrained Ricochet was.
Speaker 1: For all the flashy stuff that he did do in
Speaker 1: this match, he was still holding back. And it's only
Speaker 1: his first singles match, but that surprised me. I was
Speaker 1: actually expecting him to show off even more and he didn't.
Speaker 1: He actually showed some restraints here in that regard. And
Speaker 1: also the thing that surprised me winning with a ground
Speaker 1: based maneuver. He didn't go to the top rope. He
Speaker 1: didn't do the shooting star press or a six thirty
Speaker 1: or four point fifty or anything like that. He won
Speaker 1: with a ground based move, and so that surprised me
Speaker 1: as well. Not a bad thing to have a new move,
Speaker 1: or have maybe multiple finishers, one that's ground based, one
Speaker 1: that's more aerial. I'm sure we'll see him doing all
Speaker 1: those other moves, I'm sure, but not a bad thing
Speaker 1: to expand his arsenal. After the match, the brand new
Speaker 1: aw International champion Will Osprey, who had to fly all
Speaker 1: the way. He was already in London and he had
Speaker 1: to fly from London to Champagne, Illinois just for this,
Speaker 1: just to go back home. Why Tony couldn't just let
Speaker 1: him stay home for the week, enjoy his win, come
Speaker 1: back next week. He walks out here on stage with
Speaker 1: a microphone in hand, and I'm thinking, Okay, they're not
Speaker 1: wasting any fucking time here, right Rikoshet his first fucking
Speaker 1: night in here on Dynamite. Ricochet is in the ring,
Speaker 1: and already here comes Will Ospray. Like Tony kh mean,
Speaker 1: he can't help himself. So Ospray comes out on stage
Speaker 1: before he could even say anything. Before he can get
Speaker 1: a single word out, Pack comes running out from one
Speaker 1: of the tunnels and hits a poison runa from behind
Speaker 1: and spikes Ospray down headfirst on the stage. Pack then
Speaker 1: tells Osprey, don't forget about the bastard, and he then
Speaker 1: welcomed Ricochet to aw told him to get to the
Speaker 1: back of the line though, because Ospray belonged to him,
Speaker 1: which is true, because that is the all out match.
Speaker 1: Pack has an international title shot that is guaranteed, and
Speaker 1: so he is going to be challenging will Ospray in
Speaker 1: ten days. So Tony Khan is already teasing it. He
Speaker 1: is dying to do Ospray and Ricochet. But you've got
Speaker 1: Ospray and Ricochet, You've got Rikoshe and Pack, You've got Osprey,
Speaker 1: Ricochet and Pack in a three way match. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of different combinations of matches here involving these men
Speaker 1: that Tony Kah now has at his disposal, and I
Speaker 1: guarantee you we're gonna see all of those matches over
Speaker 1: these next few months, and I am looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a sad day for the flippy crowd
Speaker 1: who loved to complain about all the flippy moves. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna like this. Remember the video game match all
Speaker 1: those years ago that Ricochet and Pack had, or maybe
Speaker 1: it was Ricoshe and Osprey. I think is the one
Speaker 1: that got the complaints about the video game match? Right, Well,
Speaker 1: it's gonna upset some people. It's gonna make some people
Speaker 1: real mad. I can't wait. The show ended with the
Speaker 1: new AW World Heavyweight Champion Brian Danielson out to the
Speaker 1: ring to address his wrestling future. Danielson said that after
Speaker 1: failing and trying and failing and trying and failing and trying.
Speaker 1: He is the brand new aw World champion. In front
Speaker 1: of over fifty thousand people at Wembley Stadium, in front
Speaker 1: of his family, he won the championship and when he
Speaker 1: got to the back, his daughter said, Daddy, that was
Speaker 1: the best day of my life. And he did admit
Speaker 1: though that earlier that same day, he took his daughter
Speaker 1: on a double decker Peppa Pig tour bus. Is that
Speaker 1: still a thing? I know that Pepa Pig was a
Speaker 1: big thing a few years ago. How popular is Peppa
Speaker 1: Pig still these days? Those of you with children in
Speaker 1: this chat let me know, or those of you who
Speaker 1: may just be Pepa Pig fans. Hey, I'm looking at you, Uffman.
Speaker 1: I know, Uffman. He makes sure he watches Pepa Pig
Speaker 1: every day. He sits in front of the boob toobe
Speaker 1: and make sure he watches it. But is that still
Speaker 1: like a big, big thing or a bob? The builder
Speaker 1: is bob? The builders still very big? Okay, So Pepper
Speaker 1: has been replaced by Blue. Okay, so Blue is where
Speaker 1: it's at. Okay, all right, oh man, Enough Peppa Pig
Speaker 1: should do to Peppa Pig what Boss Man did to Pepper.
Speaker 1: He said that Sunday was his favorite moment of his
Speaker 1: entire career. And then when he got to the media
Speaker 1: scrub when the show was over, he was asked what's next,
Speaker 1: and he admitted his AW contract expired on August first.
Speaker 1: So think about that. He won the AW World Championship
Speaker 1: and headlined their biggest show of the year with no contract.
Speaker 1: But that just tells you what people think of Brian
Speaker 1: Danielson and how much respect Tony kh has for him,
Speaker 1: how much trust and respect he has in Brian, and
Speaker 1: Brian is not the kind of person who's going to
Speaker 1: turn around and fuck him over. But if it were
Speaker 1: anybody else, they would not be working without a contract
Speaker 1: in the main event of the biggest show of the
Speaker 1: year and then putting the World Championship on them. Tony
Speaker 1: Khan did that because he respects Brian Danielson and because
Speaker 1: he thinks Brian Danielson rightly is one of the greatest
Speaker 1: of all time. That's why he did it, even though
Speaker 1: the man has no contract. And I do believe that's true.
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're just saying that. I believe
Speaker 1: he's working at the moment without a contract, so he
Speaker 1: admitted that, and he said he is going to need
Speaker 1: next surgery sooner than later. Said his family is also
Speaker 1: ready for him to come home, so he has had
Speaker 1: a lot of thinking to do. He said since Sunday
Speaker 1: when he first got to AW, one of the first
Speaker 1: things he said was thank you to the people who
Speaker 1: started this place. He has loved professional wrestling his entire life,
Speaker 1: and the fact that AW even exists makes pro wrestling
Speaker 1: better and made his life better. He realizes it's probably
Speaker 1: time though for him to go home, but now yet,
Speaker 1: he says he will not retire as the AW World Champion.
Speaker 1: He is going to fight for this title as much
Speaker 1: as he can as soon as he loses it. Though
Speaker 1: his full time career, he specified full time will be over,
Speaker 1: but that's not going to happen for a while because
Speaker 1: he still has a lot of heads to kick in,
Speaker 1: says two weeks all out Chicago. They've got a young,
Speaker 1: hungry locker room back there. Anybody who wants a shot,
Speaker 1: come on down, first, Come first serve. Jack Perry appears
Speaker 1: on the screen, said he knows Brian's future. He referenced
Speaker 1: the injuring Kenny Omega, he talked about burying Darby Allen
Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium. Jack said that his future was to
Speaker 1: retire Brian Danielson, and Danielson's future was right behind him,
Speaker 1: and at that point Perry sneak attacked him in the rain.
Speaker 1: He attempted to as Brian was attempting to get to
Speaker 1: his feet, Perry connected with his running knee strike and
Speaker 1: then stood over Danilson with both the TNT and the
Speaker 1: AW World Championships raised above his head to close the show.
Speaker 1: The crowd did not seem terribly enthusiastic about Jack Perry
Speaker 1: being the one to come out and accept this challenge.
Speaker 1: They were underwhelmed. But Brian needed an opponent. As I
Speaker 1: said earlier, Perry is a young guy who they've been
Speaker 1: trying to push very hard over the last few months.
Speaker 1: He's the current TNT champion, and he has a win
Speaker 1: already over Brian Danglson in anarchy in the arena. You
Speaker 1: put all those things together, plus the heat that he'll
Speaker 1: probably get in Chicago. Honestly, he was probably the best
Speaker 1: choice because he's gonna beat Jack Perry and then he's
Speaker 1: gonna move on to Darby Allen. I can't say for
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna beat Darby, but I'm pretty sure he's
Speaker 1: gonna beat Darby. I would be very surprised if Danielson
Speaker 1: goes to Wrestle Dream and doesn't have the championship. That
Speaker 1: just wouldn't make any sense unless he's just not gonna
Speaker 1: be on the Wrestle Dream Card. Why would you not
Speaker 1: have him on the Wrestle Dream Card. You know you're
Speaker 1: gonna be in Washington State, you're gonna be in Tacoma.
Speaker 1: Why the fuck would you not have Brian Danielson in
Speaker 1: the main event of that show defending his championship. So
Speaker 1: Jack Perry is someone for him to go in there
Speaker 1: and beat. There's nothing wrong with that. They're turning another
Speaker 1: card around in ten days. It's not like they have
Speaker 1: time to even build up this whole new feud. That's
Speaker 1: the other reason why I don't mind it so much.
Speaker 1: If they were building to a pay per view that
Speaker 1: was a month, six weeks, eight weeks away, I would say, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is maybe a better story out there for them
Speaker 1: to build to with somebody else. You got ten fucking days, dude, Like,
Speaker 1: what's the problem here? Get ten days? You gotta slap
Speaker 1: a match together. Just like that, this guy has a
Speaker 1: win over him makes sense to me. Does it feel underwhelming,
Speaker 1: Yeah it does, but it makes sense for a first
Speaker 1: title defense. It's not the worst choice. One person who
Speaker 1: was missing from the show tonight was the winner of
Speaker 1: the Casino Gauntlet on Sunday. There was no Christian Cage,
Speaker 1: and he has a guaranteed aw Championship match that he
Speaker 1: could apparently cash in at any time. I think him
Speaker 1: cashing in on Christian or cashing in on Brian and
Speaker 1: winning the title from him would be a mistake. Not
Speaker 1: because I don't like Christian. I love Christian Cage, but
Speaker 1: I think when Brian loses it, it should be to
Speaker 1: somebody like back to Swerve, or it should be Darby,
Speaker 1: or it should be you know, maybe like a younger
Speaker 1: guy that hasn't been in that position before. Him. Dropping
Speaker 1: it to Christian would be such a fucking waste. So
Speaker 1: I don't know when Christian is gonna cash in, or
Speaker 1: you know, if they're gonna have him call his shot
Speaker 1: in advance, or if they're gonna have him a sneak attack.
Speaker 1: I mean, just based on his character, that's exactly the
Speaker 1: sort of thing he would do. So that's what I'm expecting.
Speaker 1: Maybe he won't be successful, right, We've had some failed
Speaker 1: money in the Bancashians before. Maybe he'll fail. Maybe he'll
Speaker 1: fail because kill switch, you know, that makes a mistake
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then they'll they'll finally use that as
Speaker 1: a way to split them up and that'll be the
Speaker 1: end of the patriarchy. I don't know. What I do
Speaker 1: know though, is that it would be kind of a
Speaker 1: shame if we don't at least get a promo with
Speaker 1: Christian and Brian Danielson, because you know, Brian Danielson is fatherless.
Speaker 1: His father passed away a number of years ago. Christian,
Speaker 1: you know, is just licking his chops waiting for the
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and say, God knows what
Speaker 1: that would be entertaining. But I have no interest in
Speaker 1: seeing Christian be the one to dethroning Brian Danielson when
Speaker 1: you can either have him finally return the favor to Swerve,
Speaker 1: who has never beaten Brian before that he's now zero
Speaker 1: for two because it was title Tuesday last year on
Speaker 1: Dynamite when Swerve lost to Danielson. He just lost to
Speaker 1: him again. So either finally give him a win over Danielson,
Speaker 1: or have Danielson drop it to somebody else maybe who
Speaker 1: hasn't had the championship before, and put somebody else over.
Speaker 1: To put Christian over just doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 1: I think that would be foolish. But on the whole,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a solid show. They did what
Speaker 1: they had to do as far as setting up the
Speaker 1: key matches on short notice for all Out, they did
Speaker 1: a good job on that. Match wise, the Ricochet match
Speaker 1: was very good, but none of the matches really stand
Speaker 1: out as anything you need to go out of your
Speaker 1: way to see, like, oh my god, what a great match. Now.
Speaker 1: It was a story driven show, very heavily story driven,
Speaker 1: building the key stories. That's a good thing. The Moxley thing, again,
Speaker 1: I have no idea exactly where that's going to go.
Speaker 1: I have no idea if Shane McMahon is in fact
Speaker 1: going to be at the other end of the rainbow
Speaker 1: at the end of all this, if he has anything
Speaker 1: to do with it. Nor can I say I'm excited
Speaker 1: at the possibility of it, but we'll keep our options
Speaker 1: open and see where this ends up. I'm intrigued, though,
Speaker 1: I will say that they actually have me intrigued on
Speaker 1: what they're going to do with John Moxley? What did
Speaker 1: you think of Dynamite? After all? In London? Fifty nine
Speaker 1: percent thumbs up is the score so far. Forty one
Speaker 1: percent thumbs down. That is on Twitter with the nearly
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred votes in and counting, so go ahead and vote.
Speaker 1: Not a great score, but it is an overall positive
Speaker 1: score for Dynamite tonight. I think, based on the reactions
Speaker 1: that I was seeing in the chat before I went live,
Speaker 1: that sounds about right as far as the a thumbs
Speaker 1: up and not a very enthusiastic thumbs up. That makes
Speaker 1: sense to me. We are currently how how close are
Speaker 1: we to four hundred likes? By the way, we got
Speaker 1: to at least hit four hundred, so ah, all cuts bock.
Speaker 1: Why this trees taking them abuse? Fuck that tree? This
Speaker 1: tree is taking some abuse. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love your super chats too. Go take a look
Speaker 1: at these says. It's probably just me, but ever since
Speaker 1: he came back, I feel like MJF has just been
Speaker 1: phoning everything in. Something seems off to me. This isn't
Speaker 1: the same MJF we saw last year. I think that's
Speaker 1: just me. Yeah, I think it is too. I mean,
Speaker 1: the biggest change is that he is a heel, whereas
Speaker 1: I won't say the majority, but a good chunk of
Speaker 1: last year he was playing babyface or at least tweeler.
Speaker 1: He was definitely tapping into a different side of himself
Speaker 1: last year. Here he's not challenging for the World Championship.
Speaker 1: He's back to being heel. Wrestling with Garcia again feels
Speaker 1: beneath him. So maybe that's what you're kind of getting at.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's phoning it in. Have you seen
Speaker 1: the matches that he has had. I mean, have you
Speaker 1: seen these two well Osprey matches that these two guys
Speaker 1: just had, two of the best matches all year. I
Speaker 1: would hardly say he's phoning it in. Jerome Ujenio, good show,
Speaker 1: and the card for the next pay per view is
Speaker 1: beginning to shape up, dude. We got the first four
Speaker 1: key matches already. Set up is based after one show,
Speaker 1: Chris Ludek. If we get Shane at aw we needed
Speaker 1: Christian doing a promo saying, let's talk about your father, Shane,
Speaker 1: do we though? Do we really need that? Oz and
Speaker 1: Glorious says, Hello, Solo Branches, I really dug dynamite, but
Speaker 1: for the love of God, Tony Kom please stop putting
Speaker 1: god awful Daniel Garcia on my TV like he is
Speaker 1: a Make a Wish kid and only giving us one
Speaker 1: minute of Mariah May. Yes, Ozen Glorious is no fan
Speaker 1: of Daniel Garcia. Hey, Ali, welcome to the channel. Paul
Speaker 1: David Elliott final score in Nationals five Yankees two? Another
Speaker 1: one for the good guys. Yeah, the Juliette three sixteen
Speaker 1: when Okada. When Ocada first came on screen during the
Speaker 1: Mercedes segment, I honestly thought he was Shane McMahon firs Se. Well,
Speaker 1: you're the only one. I don't think I have ever
Speaker 1: confused Okada with Shane McMahon. That's a new one. We
Speaker 1: are we saying the suit Oz Gloria is how dare
Speaker 1: you desecrate the learning Tree? I didn't desecrate the learning tree.
Speaker 1: The Learning Tree desecrated itself. Raf just caught COVID for
Speaker 1: the first time feeling like shit. Thank you for the
Speaker 1: excellent content. Take my mind off its stay safe folks. Well, Raf,
Speaker 1: I hope you feel better, man, it does suck. I
Speaker 1: still have. I mean, it's the weirdest thing because I
Speaker 1: had it. I think it was my third time. I
Speaker 1: had it in July. It was like five weeks ago. Right,
Speaker 1: where are we in six weeks? I had six weeks
Speaker 1: ago and I still have congestion and leaking out of
Speaker 1: my fucking nose no other orifice. Thank god, I haven't
Speaker 1: been able to shake it. It's the most annoying thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I otherwise feel fine, but I'm just constantly
Speaker 1: like deal and I don't think it's allergies. I'm just
Speaker 1: constantly dealing with it. I'm gonna have to go to
Speaker 1: the doctor now, have him check and make sure I
Speaker 1: don't have a sinus infection, which I don't think I do.
Speaker 1: Mister Rod, that learning tree, super cheer. That was awesome.
Speaker 1: I agree, fuck that tree. Yes, that's one thing we
Speaker 1: could all agree is fuck that tree. Jake Jones again,
Speaker 1: Man fifty bucks, Man fifty dollars goon thar bomb from
Speaker 1: Jake Jones brother Solo don't always get to tune in live,
Speaker 1: but thank you for keeping me going during a long
Speaker 1: night shift. Keep up the great work, Jake. I will
Speaker 1: keep up the great work as long as you keep
Speaker 1: tuning in, brother, thank you for the love. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you were able to join this time. You got to
Speaker 1: do it more often. Corey J. Barnett says, longtime fan,
Speaker 1: My favorite rant of yours ever was the rant against
Speaker 1: the media for Michael Jackson's death. I get more feedback
Speaker 1: about that episode probably than any other single episode that
Speaker 1: I've ever done. That was episode seventy five of the SoundOff.
Speaker 1: For reference, I'm about to record episode A one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy seven this weekend. That's how far back. I mean.
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson died in two thousand and nine, so that's
Speaker 1: how far back that rank goes. So shout out to
Speaker 1: episode seventy five and all the ogs who were still
Speaker 1: with me, boomerang, this is not your company anymore. Equals
Speaker 1: Shane McMahon's debut at all out, all out. You think
Speaker 1: so that's an awfully quick turnaround. You don't think he
Speaker 1: wants to milk it for a little bit longer. I
Speaker 1: could see it though. Retro koh, a decade ago, we
Speaker 1: all said fuck that owl. Now we say fuck that tree. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: wrestling fans have a problem with nature. Drew Johnson with
Speaker 1: the twelve all Hail the Solomons. To remember that time
Speaker 1: Shawn Michael screwed Brett Hart in Montreal. Such an amazing moment. Yes,
Speaker 1: yes it was. And you know what else is amazing?
Speaker 1: Brett Hart still has his hair and Shawn Michaels is bald.
Speaker 1: Thanks Drew Tuxedo t Servo with the twelve. Great to
Speaker 1: have Jamie hayterback. Yikarushida teased the heel turn on collision,
Speaker 1: called herself the ace of the division, looking forward to
Speaker 1: them both going forward. JM. I am doing very well.
Speaker 1: Thank you for asking. Thank you for being a channel
Speaker 1: member one of our gold skulls for thirty four months.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Wow. Van piris in the chat been a
Speaker 1: solo fan since two thousand and seven. I started in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, so he's been there since day one.
Speaker 1: The real cs who in NXT would you like to
Speaker 1: see go on an excursion next? Tavian Heights has been
Speaker 1: killing it in Japan. I don't think there's any one person.
Speaker 1: I would love to see them rotate and cycle people
Speaker 1: out and have everybody go on excursion to Japan or
Speaker 1: maybe even other places, to Mexico, parts of Europe. I
Speaker 1: would love to see them forge relationships with promotions in
Speaker 1: different parts of the world and take different NXT talents
Speaker 1: at different times throughout the year and let them go
Speaker 1: on a little mini excursion there for maybe three months,
Speaker 1: four months. I think they would all benefit from that.
Speaker 1: S through Long Live the Learning Tree. Thanks guys. The
Speaker 1: Juliet says, don't forget pack and osprey it all out
Speaker 1: for the international title. I'm well aware well, I mentioned
Speaker 1: it on the show sid Fishy. With multiple wrestlers working
Speaker 1: without a contract in aw is it possible they are
Speaker 1: waiting to collectively bargain and form a union? Do you
Speaker 1: think a pro wrestling union will ever be a reality? No?
Speaker 1: And no? And what is the multiple wrestlers working without
Speaker 1: a contract? Who? We know that Danielson is one? Who
Speaker 1: are the other wrestlers you're referring to who are supposedly
Speaker 1: working without a contract. Because I'm aware of Danielson, I'm
Speaker 1: not aware of anybody else. The reality is, if there
Speaker 1: was ever going to be a wrestling union, it would
Speaker 1: have happened by now. It's not gonna happen. It's just
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. And Jesse vent Terra, by the way,
Speaker 1: shout out to Chris van Vliet. He got a great
Speaker 1: sit down interview with Jesse up on his channel and
Speaker 1: he talked about the whole Hogan story ratting him out
Speaker 1: when he tried to form the union, and he said
Speaker 1: it best, you know, he tried to get something going.
Speaker 1: Hogan ratted him out to Vince and he went away
Speaker 1: to go film Predator and when he came back, he
Speaker 1: told he said, look, you don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: me forming a union anymore. Vince was like, really, why,
Speaker 1: he goes, I got my SAG card, he got taken
Speaker 1: care of. He goes, if these idiots, you know, were
Speaker 1: too stupid to actually stand up for themselves, then that's
Speaker 1: not my problem anymore. And you know what, He's right.
Speaker 1: He's right. If wrestlers wanted to have a union, they
Speaker 1: would have had a union by now. So it's just
Speaker 1: not going to happen. The real CS. Hook needs to
Speaker 1: leave aw guy should be a multi time TNT champion
Speaker 1: by now. He has NXT written all over him. I
Speaker 1: disagree about him being a multi time TNT champion. I
Speaker 1: think there is a lot to build on there as
Speaker 1: far as Hook is concerned. But he's he's still very inexperienced.
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't say that Hook is great. He's
Speaker 1: still very green in many ways, so I think I
Speaker 1: think he'll get there. I hope he gets there eventually.
Speaker 1: I think he could be a star. I don't know
Speaker 1: how big of a star, but he could be a star.
Speaker 1: But you know, I wouldn't say he should be a
Speaker 1: multiple time TNT champion by now. There are plenty of
Speaker 1: people far better than him who I would put in
Speaker 1: line long before Hook. Justin Hesse with the nine ninety
Speaker 1: nine Justin. I think Justin was at the show tonight. Justin,
Speaker 1: you have to let me know how the show was
Speaker 1: in person. Hoffman Entertainment, said Mariah May. Picture of said
Speaker 1: Mariah May picture is on the private group on Facebook.
Speaker 1: You're welcome, easy there, Big fella, easy, big fella. Justin G.
Speaker 1: Guess who's forty four has two thumbs and two dollars less?
Speaker 1: Thanks Solough. Happy birthday to Justin G. I hope you
Speaker 1: have a great one. Kingpin j Rella. We had at
Speaker 1: least one GWO member in the Champagne crowd tonight. Actually
Speaker 1: we had more than one because I think Justin was
Speaker 1: there too. Sun's first show, not the biggest wrestling fan.
Speaker 1: But got a best day ever from him? I'll take it. See,
Speaker 1: but that's gotta be the best thing though about being
Speaker 1: a dad though, Right when they turn around and they say, oh,
Speaker 1: that's the best day ever, Right, that's gotta make you
Speaker 1: feel good. Todd Warner, what do you use to shine
Speaker 1: those belts behind you? Love you? Solo? I give him
Speaker 1: a good spit shine. That does the trick. Arabian Night
Speaker 1: two thousand, solo. Love your top match of the year lists,
Speaker 1: seems like AW could occupy ninety percent of your list
Speaker 1: this year. Does WWE have to step up there in
Speaker 1: ring to soap opera esque? No, they don't, And the
Speaker 1: reason they don't is because they're killing it business wise.
Speaker 1: So who am I to sit here and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you're doing it wrong, you need to do it this way.
Speaker 1: What they're doing seems to be working, and to be fair,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's been a lot of great WWE matches
Speaker 1: this year. Goother has been a part of many of them.
Speaker 1: But you know, the main event of WrestleMania stands out
Speaker 1: to me with Cody and Roman. I mean, there have
Speaker 1: been some really good WWE matches as well. In ring wise, though,
Speaker 1: as far as because I have an ongoing list right now,
Speaker 1: and I can tell you from just glancing at my
Speaker 1: list right now that it is very very much not
Speaker 1: a WWE list. It is not dominated by WWE matches,
Speaker 1: but there are WWE matches on there. Bass Beers Solo
Speaker 1: Monster gives the belts that Haktua there you go, that's true.
Speaker 1: That is true. Oh, I'm sure I'm not as experience
Speaker 1: with it as a hawk Tua girl is who was
Speaker 1: at SummerSlam. By the way, she was there. Maybe she
Speaker 1: was hanging out of the hotel after base Beer has
Speaker 1: got to say, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, Hawktua Girl.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, Bace Beer is. Does Brian get a win
Speaker 1: over Osprey before retiring? I don't see why he should.
Speaker 1: Why should he beat will Osprey? Will Osprey is one
Speaker 1: of the biggest stars who is on the Ascent and
Speaker 1: is full time and is sticking around. Brian is not.
Speaker 1: Why does he need to beat will Ospray? He doesn't,
Speaker 1: Brian Alex I was afraid Brian would pop up on
Speaker 1: Raw throwing the aw belt in the trash. Well, you
Speaker 1: don't know Brian Danielson very well. If you thought that
Speaker 1: Brian was gonna do that the real CS. I was
Speaker 1: referring to the promos. It just has not been the
Speaker 1: same to me. Yeah, I mean these promos he's been cutting,
Speaker 1: none of them stand out. Is among the best he's
Speaker 1: ever done. But I would not say he's phoning it in.
Speaker 1: But thank you for clarifying, because certainly in the ring
Speaker 1: he is anything but phoning it in. Ozen Gloria Shane
Speaker 1: mocks Lashly MVP and Marina Shaffir New Faction. Lashly is
Speaker 1: a free agent. Bobby Lashley is a free agent. That
Speaker 1: is true. I don't know about the Marina Shaffir involvement here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to be sold on that. Louis says,
Speaker 1: if that learning tree that's right? You tell him, Louise
Speaker 1: the learning Siko dot bropio killing one tree at a time. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 1: Probably did not even get the super chat because YouTube
Speaker 1: and Canadian taxis. Yeah, by the time it gets to me,
Speaker 1: it's probably next to nothing. But thank you anyway. I
Speaker 1: do I do get something, Isaac, any hog matches that
Speaker 1: you would recommend to watch the wildest match that I've
Speaker 1: ever seen or called in House of Glory was in
Speaker 1: December of last year. Was Charles Mason and his ex
Speaker 1: bodyguard Carlos Las Sombra Ramirez the Crown Jewel Championship. That
Speaker 1: was at I think December was the darkest hour. I
Speaker 1: think if you go on Triller TV, I mean they
Speaker 1: should be archived there. Definitely check out that match. That
Speaker 1: match was ridiculous and frankly, I mean there have been
Speaker 1: some matches this year. You know, you need to check
Speaker 1: out Puerto Rican Weekend June eighth, we had a show.
Speaker 1: It was Mike Santana's Puerto Rican Weekend. He was very
Speaker 1: heavily involved in putting that car together, you know, very proud,
Speaker 1: you know, of his Puerto Rican heritage. So that was
Speaker 1: a big weekend. He wrestled the Amazing Red They had
Speaker 1: an incredible match, incredible atmosphere in the building. So that
Speaker 1: would be another one I would recommend checking out Rizzo.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, brother, you versus me for
Speaker 1: those titles behind you? How about no, those titles are
Speaker 1: not on the line. I spend good money to get
Speaker 1: that one re leathered right there. You ain't getting that
Speaker 1: title from me, Bass Beers says, buy or sells. Simon
Speaker 1: Dean or Dan Housen, Dan Housen heartbreak kiddo, Happy Power
Speaker 1: Ring Day. All right, I was never a big Power
Speaker 1: Rangers guy. Power Rangers was really after my time, So
Speaker 1: I don't hate them. I don't have anything against them,
Speaker 1: but I was not. I was not a Power Rangers guy.
Speaker 1: I was. I was an Ninja Turtle guy, but I
Speaker 1: was not a Power Rangers guy. So I think that
Speaker 1: covers those. Yes, I think I got everyone's message. We
Speaker 1: are currently a four hundred and thirty seven likes, which
Speaker 1: is good and I strong showing there, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: we can insro our way closer to five hundreds. To
Speaker 1: go ahead and try to get me there, and I
Speaker 1: am going to get you to be the booker in
Speaker 1: three two one. Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time
Speaker 1: to be the booker. What was that giant head called
Speaker 1: on the Power Rangers? Remember they would talk to that
Speaker 1: that that thing, whatever the hell it was, It was
Speaker 1: just a head like a talking head, zoltar whatever. What
Speaker 1: was that thing called? Was that like their boss like
Speaker 1: Charlie from Charlie's Angels? Did that thing have a name? See,
Speaker 1: I told you I'm not a Power Rangers guys, So
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jordan. What did I say, Zoltar? Jordon? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Jordan, he has no body though, right, it's
Speaker 1: just the head. It's a little strange. That's a little
Speaker 1: sus I'm just saying, when you have a head and
Speaker 1: no body, it's a little sus all right, tag Team
Speaker 1: beat the Booker. We begin with Caine and the Big Show,
Speaker 1: the former Raw tag team champions. What do you think
Speaker 1: That total combined weight is probably eight something, right, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and something pounds. Caine and Big Show are going
Speaker 1: to take on Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page. One
Speaker 1: of the greatest matches still in AW history was Revolution
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the Young Bucks against Hangmen and Omega. That
Speaker 1: and the cage match between the Bucks and the Lucha Bros.
Speaker 1: Are the best tag team matches in company history. All Right,
Speaker 1: it's time to see what ladies we are going to
Speaker 1: be working with here tonight. We have Alexa Bliss. I
Speaker 1: almost forgot about Alexa Bliss. Don't tell Bliss fan I
Speaker 1: said that. But Alexa Bliss, former Raw Women's Champion, SmackDown
Speaker 1: Women's Champion multiple times. I think she's like a six
Speaker 1: time Women's champion. This woman, she's been gone for like
Speaker 1: two years. I have no idea when she'll be back,
Speaker 1: but she will be back eventually. We got Bliss fan
Speaker 1: is very excited that we have landed on Alexa Bliss.
Speaker 1: Bliss fan wishes he was in be the booker so
Speaker 1: that we would land on him and then he could
Speaker 1: get to wrestle Alexa. Nothing would make him, nothing would
Speaker 1: make him happier. We have Alexa Bliss against ty Mellow.
Speaker 1: How are we feeling about this? Because I know what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking here. I want to get some I want
Speaker 1: to gauge some feedback from the chat here before I
Speaker 1: make my selection. I'm on the fence here. I could
Speaker 1: go either way. I could be persuaded. I could be persuaded. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I tend to agree. I tend to agree. Not a winner.
Speaker 1: That's just not a winning combination there, all right? Made
Speaker 1: event time, we begin with the AEW World champion, former
Speaker 1: AW world champion. He was the world champion when this
Speaker 1: photo was taken, Kenny Omega. I do miss Kenny Omega.
Speaker 1: When we get Kenny Omega back, man, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: a lot of big matches lined up waiting for him.
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega for the second time here and be the
Speaker 1: booker here tonight. So nice. We had it twice. Kenny
Speaker 1: gonna go one on one with Oh No, Gangrel is
Speaker 1: watching you masturbate spin again. He's so focused too. Look
Speaker 1: look how focused he is on what he's watching. Look
Speaker 1: at him, just like sneaking up from under the ring
Speaker 1: like a peeping tom oh Gangrel. Oh Man, he's really
Speaker 1: he's having a good tay. He's very focused. He's very focused.
Speaker 1: You never know what you're gonna on here and be
Speaker 1: the booker. I look, I have I have no idea.
Speaker 1: It's totally random. I have no idea. It didn't say
Speaker 1: it didn't say the gender that he is watching. I mean,
Speaker 1: he could be watching anybody masturbate. It could be it
Speaker 1: could be male or female. We don't know. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega is gonna have to find the new opponent here,
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega. Oh No, Kenny Omega and Bill Goldberg and
Speaker 1: Kenny just came back from injury and now he is
Speaker 1: going right back on the injured list. Another Canadian career
Speaker 1: ended at the hands of Bill Goldberg. Poor Kenny Man.
Speaker 1: After after healing up all the surgery all the all
Speaker 1: the rehabilitation, he comes back and he gets in the
Speaker 1: ring with Berg. I can think of no worse punishment
Speaker 1: than that. He didn't deserve that. He did not deserve that. Oh,
Speaker 1: Kenny Kenny, Kenny, Kenny, Kenny Kenny. He would have been
Speaker 1: better off with gangrel s. N K Fan. Oh one, Hey, MZ,
Speaker 1: welcome to the channel. I hope you miss that be
Speaker 1: the booker. I hope, I hope he didn't come in
Speaker 1: just when that Gangrel image was on the screen. Snk Fan.
Speaker 1: I thought Tony called mox to help to help him
Speaker 1: with the bucks you have. But help him in what way?
Speaker 1: What does he need help with? Tony is the president
Speaker 1: of the company, he's the CEO of the company. He's there,
Speaker 1: he has the power. What does he need help with?
Speaker 1: This is what I mean. This angle is a fail,
Speaker 1: It's a bust, which is ironically what the person was
Speaker 1: doing that Gangrell was watching, Uh Devin from New Jersey.
Speaker 1: If Cody did not come back to WWE, who would
Speaker 1: you have had dethrone Roman? That's a good question, honestly,
Speaker 1: I you could have made the argument for Sammy Zaine
Speaker 1: to be the one to do it. Just do the
Speaker 1: Match of WrestleMania instead of elimination Shamer. Ideally it would
Speaker 1: be the person that WWE wanted to build around as
Speaker 1: their new top babyface. So take your pick as far
Speaker 1: as who that would have been. God, if it wasn't Cody,
Speaker 1: who would it have been? Rolins? Yeah? You know what,
Speaker 1: maybe it would have been Rollins. Maybe so maybe seth Rawlins,
Speaker 1: you know, with the history there between them, bace Beers, MVP,
Speaker 1: it used to be a power ranger. He dressed up
Speaker 1: like one uh Arabian Night, Arabian Night. The jury is
Speaker 1: still out on what is going on with Ricky Stars.
Speaker 1: There were people who thought he was going to show
Speaker 1: up in the Casino Gauntlet and he didn't. Uh, But
Speaker 1: the the person who told me about him, you know,
Speaker 1: being a free agent and being you know in WWE
Speaker 1: soon even though it wasn't a done deal yet. It's
Speaker 1: somebody who had told me some other stuff about all
Speaker 1: In that turned out to be true. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Ricky now. It could have
Speaker 1: been misinformation. It could have been that he was fed
Speaker 1: some some bad information or maybe not. That story still
Speaker 1: has yet to play out. I know what Tony Kah
Speaker 1: said at the scrum. He claimed that Ricky is still
Speaker 1: under contract, and you know, you take him at his word.
Speaker 1: He's the boss. But to me, until we get another update,
Speaker 1: the jury is still out on that one retro Koh,
Speaker 1: Kenny and Goldberg. Which one was Gangrel watching? Oh man,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I thought that Gangrel was watching oh my,
Speaker 1: oh god, oh my god. I don't even want to
Speaker 1: think about that. That's a horrible, horrible image. Who was
Speaker 1: Gangrel watching? Wrong answers only? Who was Gangrel watching? Anyway?
Speaker 1: I think I have caught up now with all your messages,
Speaker 1: so thank you guys for making this a fun stream.
Speaker 1: I think it was a good review. I think we
Speaker 1: covered a lot of ground here on a noteworthy episode
Speaker 1: of Dynamite. Not the best episode, but definitely a newsworthy episode.
Speaker 1: And all of the key matches are now set up
Speaker 1: for all out next weekend, which is looking good so far.
Speaker 1: How long have I been with hog and what is
Speaker 1: the story of how I joined the company? If somebody
Speaker 1: has asked this already, I apologize a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of answers here. Gangrel is watching live and dom
Speaker 1: ye know Gangrel is old enough to be his dad.
Speaker 1: You know that, right. I've been with Hog for six
Speaker 1: years and as far as how I got involved, I
Speaker 1: was invited to be a part of They wanted to
Speaker 1: do a WWE style pre show before the big High
Speaker 1: Intensity Summer event in August back in twenty eighteen, and
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, that'd be great, and so I went
Speaker 1: and it was JD and myself and there was another
Speaker 1: announcer at the time named Ben and we did it
Speaker 1: and there were some wrestlers who stopped by. We interviewed them,
Speaker 1: Austin Aires and Sammy Callahan and it was fun. And
Speaker 1: then I was just going to stick around for the
Speaker 1: rest of the show. And then I was invited to
Speaker 1: sit in on commentary for the Open Challenge. The one match,
Speaker 1: the first match I ever did commentary for was an
Speaker 1: Open Challenge for the Impact World Championship with Austin Aires
Speaker 1: defending the Impact World Title. So that was my first match,
Speaker 1: and then it just went from there. You know, I
Speaker 1: kept showing up at the shows and they would fit
Speaker 1: me in here and there with the announcers. They already
Speaker 1: had an announced team, but then there was a vacancy
Speaker 1: on the team. And when there was a vacancy on
Speaker 1: the team, I slid in there like you know, doms
Speaker 1: sliding into lives DMS, and the rest is history. Six
Speaker 1: years later, here we are. It's been a fun ride.
Speaker 1: Salomazer is a big hog guy. I don't go spreading
Speaker 1: rumors now, but at least they're true rumors. Velvet Sky,
Speaker 1: fucking Velvet Sky. She's another one who blocked me. God
Speaker 1: only knows why. Anyway, thank you guys again. I will
Speaker 1: be live with you on Friday night. It will be
Speaker 1: in Berlin, Germany for SmackDown La Night has an open
Speaker 1: challenge for the United States Championship. And then I want
Speaker 1: you guys to come hang out with me on Saturday afternoon,
Speaker 1: much as you did on Sunday after all in because

Speaker 1: live with my Bash in Berlin review as soon as
Speaker 1: the pl is over. You can come on by here
Speaker 1: to the channel. I will be live with my reaction
Speaker 1: in my full review. And then, of course episode eight
Speaker 1: seventy seven on the podcast drops on Sunday with the
Speaker 1: new of the week, your questions, and I will have
Speaker 1: a lot more to say about the death of Psycho
Speaker 1: Sid get a little more in depth on that and
Speaker 1: his career is unfortunate passing this week, So a lot
Speaker 1: of content coming up. And also we had another long episode,
Speaker 1: great episode of Tuesday Night Titans last night, myself and
Speaker 1: JD having a discussion about a lot of different topics.
Speaker 1: So I'm all over the place. You're probably sick of
Speaker 1: me by now, but too bad. I'm not going anywhere,
Speaker 1: So go ahead and check all that stuff out. Be well,
Speaker 1: stay safe, hit that like button on your way out,
Speaker 1: and remember just remember when you go to bed tonight,
