WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:04.919 Tonight was a fallout from AAW All in London, their 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.960 biggest show of the year this past Sunday, Many New 3 00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.320 Champions crowned one of the better shows of the entire 4 00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.119 year with some excellent matches. I was a very big 5 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.160 fan of that show on Sunday, So tonight was the 6 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.839 fallout and not a lot of turnaround here because we 7 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.440 go from All In to All Out in Chicago now 8 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.640 in less than two weeks, and tonight, after one episode 9 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.159 of Dynamite, very first show coming out of All In, 10 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.600 we already have the top four matches already set for 11 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.679 All Out. Brian Danielson was coming out tonight to address 12 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.759 his wrestling future. Brian Danielson on Sunday went out there 13 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:45.880 and had one of the greatest matches of his career 14 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.479 against Swarve Strickland and won the AAW World Heavyweight Championship. 15 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.200 He etched his name into the history of this company. 16 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.039 He is now part of that lineage. And he had 17 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.759 what he said after the show, and he said it again. 18 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.320 Tonight on TV was to him the greatest moment of 19 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.680 his career, and that's big when you consider the fact 20 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.560 that he's been doing this for a long time, He's 21 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.519 had a lot of great moments, He's won a lot 22 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.879 of championships in his day for that to be his 23 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.799 favorite moment of his entire career, largely because his family 24 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.560 was there, his kids were there. And I saw people 25 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:27.159 online this week arguing with this man, arguing with him 26 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.719 that it was the greatest moment of his career. How 27 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.280 can you say that, How can you say that it 28 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.200 was better than WrestleMania. I mean, I've seen some really 29 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.400 dumb things online, right, and a lot of it you 30 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.280 just sort of gloss over, you look past it, and 31 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.040 you move on, you don't even mention it. But I 32 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.319 have to say, among the really really stupid things that 33 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.400 I've seen from some of the tribalist fans online, telling 34 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.200 somebody what their favorite moment should or should not be 35 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.920 of their own career is pretty fucking high up on 36 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.680 the list. If the man says that it's the favorite 37 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.640 moment in the best moment of his career, then guess what. 38 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.359 That's what it is. But you can understand it because 39 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.000 it was very emotional and so it was a fantastic moment. 40 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.400 But the question now coming into tonight was what is 41 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.759 he going to come out and address. Is he going 42 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.240 to come out and issue a challenge to somebody? Is 43 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.360 he going to come out and retire as the aw 44 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.159 World Heavyweight Champion. Surely he's not going to do that 45 00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.840 because the match was title versus career on Sunday and 46 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.919 he won, So it would have made very little sense 47 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.240 for him after all that to come out and say, 48 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.400 you know what, peace out, I'm done. So I wasn't 49 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.639 expecting him to come out and just surrender the title, 50 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.240 which would have been a ridiculously lame way to go 51 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.879 about doing it. Instead, the man has a challenger. He 52 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.680 has a challenger for Chicago, and that challenger will be 53 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:57.360 the TNT champion, Darby Allen or not Darby Allen Jack Perry, 54 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.919 who beat Darby Allen Darby Allen as the former Team 55 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.960 TNT champion. I'm thinking of the Coffin match from Sunday. 56 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.719 I'm thinking of the Coffin match because it makes sense 57 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.599 that Jack Perry beat Darby Allen. That now sets him 58 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.520 up for a shot at the world championship. So in 59 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.680 that regard, it makes sense. But here's another reason why 60 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.879 it makes sense. Jack Perry is the man who pinned 61 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.280 Brian Danielson in the anarchy in the arena match back 62 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.879 of Double or Nothing. This is a man who got 63 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.000 set on fire, remember during that match, got set on 64 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.719 fire by Darby Allen, but went on to win the 65 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.439 match for the Elite and he beat Brian Danielson to 66 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.479 do it. So technically, Jack Perry has a win already 67 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.000 over Brian Danielson. So there is a little bit of 68 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.960 history there coming into this match. Here, him getting the 69 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.280 first crack at the title in many ways makes sense. 70 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.199 Was it the most exciting announcement in the world where 71 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.680 the fans excited to see Jack Perry come out and be, 72 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.560 you know, the number one contender and challenge him? It 73 00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.759 really was an open challenge challenge him for the championship. No, no, 74 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.080 they were underwhelmed, but you can make sense of it. 75 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.400 Danielson already has a match lined up for Grand Slam 76 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.280 next month. We already know he's going to be defending 77 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.879 the title against Darby Allen on September twenty fifth, because 78 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.639 Darby won the Royal Rampage many many weeks ago to 79 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.600 earn the right to challenge for that championship. So even 80 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.639 though Darby lost to Jack Perry on Sunday, he's already 81 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.800 got a world title match in his back pocket. Could 82 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.800 it be against Jack Perry? Could we get a rematch 83 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.879 between Darby Allen and Jack Perry with Darby winning the 84 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.120 AW World title. If you were to list out all 85 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.959 of the potential scenarios, that would probably be the least likely. 86 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.959 But I do think you have to throw that out there. 87 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.680 Very very unlikely. I'm not expecting that to happen, but 88 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.759 you can't rule it out. Yeah, there's been talk about 89 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.639 potentially Darby Allen being given a run with the AW 90 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:57.040 World Heavyweight title, so we know that match is already 91 00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.319 coming up. The other thing also is think about where 92 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.519 they're going to be for All Out. They're going to 93 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.959 be in the Chicago area. I know it's Hoffman Estates, 94 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.199 but they're going to be in Chicago. Basically, you would 95 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.040 expect that Jack Perry in Chicago, of all places, would 96 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:17.720 get nuclear heat. Given the location, I would expect him 97 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.360 to get perhaps dominic mysterio levels of heat on that show. 98 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.800 So there are a lot of reasons that you could 99 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:28.600 argue for Jack Perry to be in that spot. And 100 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.519 I understand that there are going to be people who 101 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.319 hate the decision and they think it's lame, they think 102 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.879 it's underwhelming, or they don't like Jack Perry. But here's 103 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.560 one common theme that was very apparent in being watching 104 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.199 this show tonight, Tony Kahan's attempt to get new stars 105 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.199 over using his more established name. So when I say 106 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.600 more established names, I don't just mean EXWWE guys. Even 107 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:57.680 somebody like MJF is an upper level, top tier established 108 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.040 name on the AW ROSSI he's an AWA veteran, right, 109 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.639 He's not some young guy who they're trying to get over. 110 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.959 He's already over. And you look at what they have 111 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.160 been doing with Jack Perry, trying to get him over 112 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.439 with the scapegoat character, giving him the win at anarchy 113 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.279 in the arena, putting the TNT Championship on him, putting 114 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.680 him in these prime situations, these big spots. You look 115 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.040 at what they're doing with Daniel Garcia. That's another example. 116 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.399 We saw that on the show tonight as well. That's 117 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.439 the other big match, or one of the four that's 118 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.639 already been set in stone now for We're all out. 119 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.959 Daniel Garcia, who we saw return on Sunday at all 120 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.920 In during the MJF will Osprey match, he was out 121 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.439 there tonight throwing down the challenge saying I talked to 122 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.480 Tony Kahan, the match is made, the match is official. 123 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.800 I get you in the ring at all out, and 124 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.879 so MJF and Daniel Garcia will go one on one. 125 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.000 And Daniel Garcia is another example of a young star 126 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.360 that Tony Kahan has had the start and stop with 127 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.480 over the years, where he'll be pushed really hard. We 128 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.160 used to have a running joke here in the live 129 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.079 chat on these streams about main event Garcia because almost 130 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.800 every single week this kid was in the main event 131 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.319 of the show. You could tell that Tony Khan obviously 132 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.079 saw something in him, but then when it looked like 133 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.480 he was about to maybe break out in a big way, 134 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.720 they pulled back on it. So it was kind of weird. 135 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.399 The Continental Classic at the end of last year, he 136 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.279 went winless except for one match I think at the end, 137 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.279 and I think it was against Brody King he finally 138 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.680 picked up a win. Well, Garcia is in a very 139 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.839 interesting contractual state right now where he may or may 140 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.720 not be staying with AW but they are obviously moving 141 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.560 ahead with this match with MJF. In short order. Here, 142 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.600 Whether you like the guy or not, he's a young 143 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.360 star who Tony Khan is trying to push and trying 144 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.079 to make something up. I cannot fault Tony Khan for 145 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.279 trying to push younger stars using some of his more 146 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.199 established as. Maybe he won't always get the person right 147 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.000 that he should be pushing. Maybe the way he goes 148 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:09.319 about doing it, maybe it isn't always the strongest way. 149 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.279 Maybe it won't work, maybe it will work. But I 150 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.639 can't fault them for at least trying to get these 151 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.160 guys over. So I don't really understand the people who 152 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.639 are like Jack Perry and Daniel Garcia. Again, you don't 153 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.399 have to like them. You may think they're not the 154 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.439 right person for the spot, but I can at least 155 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.399 sit here and acknowledge that that's a plus the fact 156 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.759 that he's trying to get over some of his younger, 157 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.720 less established talents, and that was a theme that I 158 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.320 noticed in particular with those two during the show tonight. 159 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.759 But that's two matches right there that are official now 160 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.639 for all out in ten days. The other one, the 161 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.799 one that I'm most looking forward to, was made official, 162 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.080 and that is Swarve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page. We 163 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.799 are finally going to get them one on one, and 164 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.080 it is going to be inside of a steel cage. 165 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.320 So as violent as their Texas Death match was last 166 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.240 year at full gear, We're in for another violent spectacle. 167 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:10.039 I suspect with these two in Chicago in ten days 168 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.240 that I am looking forward to. And will Osbury, we 169 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.440 already know, given that he regained his title on Sunday, 170 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.840 is going to be defending the International Championship against Pack. 171 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.120 That's four matches right there. This is the first show 172 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.240 coming out of All In. We already know the top 173 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.159 four matches on the show at All Out. Rickochet in 174 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.399 his very first match here on Dynamite, first singles match 175 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.480 in aw main events. The show went one on one 176 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.159 tonight with Kyle Fletcher. John Moxley is back. He was 177 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.320 conspicuous by his absence at the end of the show 178 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.440 on Sunday. With all the other members of the Blackpool 179 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.480 Combat Club and Pack out there to celebrate with Brian Danielson, 180 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:55.000 there was no John Moxley. Now we know why. I'm 181 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.080 not even sure there's really a Blackpool Combat Club affiliation 182 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.360 anymore with John Moxley. After what we said tonight, John 183 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.000 Moxley going in a different direction. There's a weird story brewing. 184 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:10.360 This was the first shot fired and whatever this story 185 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.399 is going to be, wherever this is going to lead to. 186 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.759 There is a new side to John Moxley that we 187 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.200 saw tonight, and that's very interesting. Now it makes more 188 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:23.000 sense why he wasn't there on Sunday. Story is the 189 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.559 keyword there. This was a very story driven episode of Dynamite. 190 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.960 I am not going to sit here and call this 191 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.320 one of the stronger episodes of the show all year 192 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.480 because it was not even close. The first hour I 193 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.519 thought was real good. The second hour fell off. Second 194 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.559 hour was definitely the weaker of the two, but I 195 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.279 thought it's set the table nicely for the pay per 196 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.120 view in ten days. It is not ideal to have 197 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.159 two weeks between pay per views. That should never happen. 198 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.440 I don't care what promotion it is wwe AW the 199 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.559 product is hot, the product is cold, they're sold out, 200 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.360 they're not sold out. I don't give a shit. You 201 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.120 should not have two weeks between pay per views. But 202 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.519 normally it wouldn't even be that much. Tony Kahan bumped 203 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.440 it back the extra week because we have, of course, 204 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.639 Bash and Berlin is coming up this weekend. I think 205 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.559 he wanted some separation there, so it is better having 206 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.559 that extra week, and hopefully going forward we won't have 207 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.960 these situations where we have one week between pay per views, 208 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.320 or frankly even two weeks. But two weeks is definitely 209 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.759 better than one. We're going to get into everything that 210 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.399 happened here on this show because it was a Newsworthy show. 211 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.440 There was a lot of things going on tonight, so 212 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.200 we'll talk about all of it. This is your aw 213 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:43.039 Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, August twenty eighth. The show 214 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.159 opened with a surprise appearance by John Moxley, who, as 215 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:53.519 I said, was not present, noticeably absent from all in 216 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.360 this weekend. But there he was, coming through the crowd. 217 00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.840 And not only was he entering through the crowd, which 218 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:01.840 he always does, but he was entering through the crowd 219 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.639 not to Wild Thing. He came out to his death 220 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.759 Rider theme from New Japan. So you know, now this 221 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.559 is a different John Moxley. Now this is not Wild Thing, 222 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.759 John Moxley. This is New Japan John Moxley. And he 223 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.759 looked annoyed, he looked like he had something on his mind. 224 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.000 Tony Shavanni got in the ring to speak to him. 225 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.600 Said it's been two months since we've seen Moxley at 226 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:32.919 Forbidden Door, and Shavanni was trying to be very folksy, SA, 227 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.519 how you doing, How you doing, John, How's it going, 228 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.960 how's life treating you. Moxley says he's been doing a 229 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.159 lot of thinking about things that need to get done. 230 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.559 He came here tonight looking for a man who is 231 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:53.480 not here to have a long overdue conversation Darby. Allen says, 232 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.480 it's about time the two of us had a talk. 233 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.559 Says he's not going to be a hard man to find, 234 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.879 so he to go leave. But then he came back 235 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.159 and said, it's gonna take some time for everyone to 236 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.799 wrap their brains around this. He looked at Shavanni and 237 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.720 this was the key line here from the promo. He 238 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.799 looked at Shavanni and he said, this is not your 239 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:24.240 company anymore. And with that he left and Tony Shavanni 240 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.639 stood in the ring looking confused, maybe because Moxley was 241 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.639 addressing the wrong Tony. Yeah, there's a lot of Tony's 242 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.279 in this company, but I think he may have gotten 243 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.200 them a little bit mixed up here. Maybe he just 244 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.200 figured Tony Kahan is always in Shavanni's ear, and so 245 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.600 he says it to Shavanni, He's basically saying it to 246 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.360 Tony Kahan. Uh So, my first thought was the same 247 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.399 thought that I'm sure a lot of you, which is 248 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.200 Shane McMahon, and you're gonna be hearing a lot of 249 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.480 people talking about Shane McMahon and speculating about Shane McMahon 250 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.039 because I think that's the intent here, whether or not 251 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.000 we get Shane McMahon out of this, I think that's 252 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.799 what Tony Kuhn wants you to think. He wants people 253 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:06.440 to talk, he wants to create a buzz, he wants 254 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:10.639 to create conversation around where this story is going. But 255 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.240 there's a very real possibility that this is the first 256 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.759 tease for the impending debut of Shane McMahon. We know 257 00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.519 Shane had a meeting with Tony Kahn not that long ago, 258 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.919 about a month ago. Now both men admitted it. Shane 259 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.320 McMahon put a statement out about it after that weird 260 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.279 photo got leaked, and then Tony Kahn talked about it 261 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:32.080 went really well. We had a great conversation as the 262 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:37.759 sons of you know of people who have been very successful, 263 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.480 and what that's like, the pros and the cons they'll 264 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:44.120 fun intended. So we know that there was at least 265 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.120 one conversation, one meeting between the two of them. And 266 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.200 I've made my thoughts very clear about it that I 267 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.879 am no fan of bringing Shane McMahon into AW. I 268 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.039 don't think that's the answer to any of their problems. 269 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.000 I don't think Shane McMahon is any sort of long 270 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.679 term solution to what ails this company. Could you bring 271 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.559 him in and could there be some interesting story that 272 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.399 you could tell with him, as far as like one storyline, 273 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.440 if you hit just the right storyline, sure, you could 274 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:10.960 always try to come up with some kind of interesting story. 275 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.399 But again, people let their imaginations run wild and they think, 276 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.960 oh my god, if Shane McMahon comes into AW, this 277 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.240 could be a game changer. You know. Shane'sy's such a 278 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.519 creative guy. He's got all these ideas that I would 279 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.159 love to know what they are. Nobody could tell me. 280 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.879 But it gets people excited because the idea of a 281 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.360 McMahon being part of any wrestling organization other than WWE 282 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.759 is just such a mind fuck that I think if 283 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.360 a McMahon walked to any McMahon, let alone, Shane walked 284 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.679 out there on dynamite. It would blow up the Internet, 285 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.320 it would blow up social media, and it would for 286 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.480 one week and that everything would come right back down 287 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.039 to earth. This is what I try to explain to people. 288 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.159 But the key line there is this isn't your company anymore. 289 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.039 That's what gets you wondering if that has anything to 290 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.759 do with Shane possibly being brought in. Are they going 291 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.120 to bring him in as a a new investor? You know, 292 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.440 is this where this is going? Is he going to 293 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.759 be brought in in that kind of capacity and kind 294 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.000 of lead his own brigade in some way? And again, 295 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.159 you know, people look at before anybody even starts making 296 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.720 comparisons or fantasy booking something along the lines of an 297 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:24.720 nWo style invasion, don't please, don't the two things. No 298 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.080 matter what they come up with here, if it's anything similar, 299 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.720 the two things cannot be any different. They're not the same. 300 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.200 It would never work. It would have to be completely 301 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:38.360 something completely divorced from what that was, because it just 302 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.039 doesn't work. And by the way, John Moxley has been 303 00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.080 part of this company since nearly day one. I mean 304 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.600 this company didn't even get TV until October of twenty nineteen. 305 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.799 Moxley was already in the company at that point. He's 306 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.080 been there since the beginning. He's been there for five 307 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.840 years now. When I look at John Moxley, I associate 308 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:57.919 him with AW every bit as much as I ever 309 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.720 did with WWE. He's as much an AW guy, if 310 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:06.680 not more, in my eyes than he was a WWE guy, 311 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.880 even though he was there for a few more years. 312 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.519 So this any sort of invasion idea that people want 313 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:15.440 to come up with leading the charge for some kind 314 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:20.720 of it doesn't work. Okay, it just doesn't work. But 315 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.960 later in the show, in the back, Moxley was walking around, 316 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.240 I think he was leaving, and the cameraman catches up 317 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:32.039 to him and says, hey, John, John, you know, what 318 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.000 was that comment you made about earlier? What was that about? 319 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.799 What do you mean by that? And we had a 320 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.359 raging woman who showed up on the scene because Moxley 321 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.319 is standing there, and there's these two young men who 322 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:46.799 happened to be standing there talking to each other, wrong place, 323 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.960 wrong time. This raging woman shows up and starts kicking 324 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.200 their asses and she's got her back turned. So we 325 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:54.880 can't see who it is at first, but then we 326 00:17:54.920 --> 00:18:00.200 see that it's Marina Shaffir, and then Moxley. He looks 327 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.160 at these two guys on the ground and he says 328 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.000 that this was a lesson in humility, and he walks 329 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.720 off and they leave together. You know, she shoves the 330 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.680 cameraman down and they go They walk off together. So 331 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.400 now there's some kind of connection involving John Moxley and 332 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:22.039 Marina Shaffir, which has me very confused. But it does 333 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.440 make me wonder if we're looking at him assembling a 334 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:28.359 new crew as he's leaving the Blackpool Combat Club behind 335 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:31.599 and wasn't there on Sunday as part of the Brian 336 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:36.319 Dangelson celebration, and maybe he's going to form his own crew. 337 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.079 The thought that I had on the Shane McMahon stuff, 338 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.960 if in fact Shane has anything to do with this 339 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:46.000 and ends up being brought in as part of this 340 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:52.000 one way that they could make this work. We still 341 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.000 have not heard anything about the new television deal. We're 342 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.960 still waiting on word about this Warner Brothers Discovery deal, 343 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.839 the new contract. The announcement could come at any time. 344 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.119 It's expected to come at any time. What if in 345 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.720 storyline they were to work it where when the new 346 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:15.400 deal is finally announced, they kind of tie it into 347 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.200 the storyline. They announced it on TV as well, but 348 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.480 as part of that deal, Shane McMahon is brought in 349 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.759 as part of that deal, right, maybe they try to 350 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:25.599 work him into the deal in some way, just from 351 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.920 a storyline perspective, that could be one way to introduce him. 352 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.640 Maybe they're waiting and they're going to tie all this 353 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.519 in together when the announcement is made. It was just 354 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.640 a thought. I was just thinking about ways in which 355 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.319 they could go about, you know, introducing him into the 356 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.039 fold here. It's still not something I have any great 357 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:44.400 interest in seeing. I am intrigued though, to see where 358 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.720 the Moxley story is going to go. What I like 359 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:48.680 about it is the fact that they're doing something different 360 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.519 with John Moxley. You know, John Moxley is somebody that 361 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.599 could use a reboot. You know, he's been doing the 362 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.160 same stuff for a long time, and so doing something 363 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.240 different with him, or a heel turn and breaking him 364 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.759 away from the BCC doing something different. I think that's 365 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.119 a good thing. I think that's a positive. I have 366 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.839 no idea as far as the Marina Shafir thing and 367 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.599 exactly which direction they're going to go with this, but 368 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.519 it's the beginning of a story. Where that story is 369 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:20.599 going to go. We'll have to tune in to find out. 370 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.000 The Elite story has been a flop, the stuff with 371 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.119 the Bucks and the EVPs, and they're running the show, 372 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:31.680 and they're running counter to Tony Kahn. That whole storyline 373 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.599 was a bust. This is a chance for them to 374 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:39.039 start something new. This could be their new big storyline 375 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.279 and where it goes, We'll have to wait and see. 376 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.720 Why does Moxley want to talk to Darby Allen? What 377 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.160 does Darby Allen have to do with this? Is Moxley 378 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.240 going to cost Darby Allen his championship match a Grand 379 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:57.440 Slam next month? I don't know. Are they gonna few? 380 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.160 They're gonna have a match, it seems like it. So 381 00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:05.279 I'm intrigued by that. The Shane McMahon thing again, first 382 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:10.480 thing I thought of when he said that line. But 383 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.640 we just are going to take away and see approach 384 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:16.279 on this and see how it plays out. A lot 385 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:21.119 of different ways they could potentially go with this. We 386 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:26.519 had Hangman Adam page one on one with tomohiro Ishi, 387 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.240 who has been on excursion here in the States. He's 388 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.880 been here for several weeks now, and I don't know 389 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:36.440 if this was the end of his excursion. He's going 390 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.920 back to Japan if this was it for the time being. 391 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.920 But if it was, I will say he went out 392 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:47.440 with a hell of a battle. They got almost twenty minutes, 393 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:50.039 so they gave him a long time. They went through 394 00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:54.920 two commercial breaks. These two beat the shit out of 395 00:21:54.960 --> 00:22:00.440 each other. These two beat the holy hell out of 396 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.720 each other for nearly twenty minutes. Is she At one 397 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.440 point he dropped Hangman with his own dead eye, And honestly, 398 00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.359 I think what happened is is she is not a 399 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.920 tall man. Hangman is taller than him, and I think 400 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:17.920 he was too tall for is She to be doing 401 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.240
