WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:04.799 This is your AAW Dynamite Review post All Out edition. 2 00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.800 It is Wednesday, September eleven, twenty and twenty four. I 3 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.599 am the Solemn Monster. You know, Brian Danielson has made 4 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.039 quite a few enemies in the last few weeks. He 5 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.920 was excommunicated from the Blackpool Combat Club. This past weekend 6 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.280 he had a plastic bag placed around his head. He 7 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:28.920 was suffocated nearly to death on Saturday. Now, we had 8 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.719 a World Championship match coming up, a Grand Slam in 9 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.960 a few weeks at Arthur Ashe Stadium that is no more. 10 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.039 They shot an angle tonight to change the match. We 11 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.280 actually have two matches out of it now. But Brian 12 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.079 Danielson not only has enemies in John Moxley and the 13 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.119 Blackpool Combat Club, but he has a long term enemy 14 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.159 in one Nigel McGuinness. And for well over a year now, 15 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.039 Nigel McGuinness here in AW has taken every opportunity that 16 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:01.759 he has been given to bash this man and insult him, 17 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.560 mock him. He's called him brittle Brian, he's called him 18 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:10.280 the neck break Kid. Every opportunity he gets he trashes 19 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.480 this man. And this was a match that I thought 20 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:17.319 we might get at Wembley Stadium last year Brian got hurt. 21 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.239 Then I thought maybe we would get it this year, 22 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.319 and instead Tony Kahan decided to go a different direction 23 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.959 and he put the AW World Heavyweight title on Brian 24 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.879 Danielson instead, and we got Nigel McGinnis back in the 25 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.159 ring for the first time since twenty eleven. We saw 26 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.640 him in the Casino Gauntlet match and he looked great. 27 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.560 He looked like he could have another short run if 28 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.079 he wants to get back in the ring and have 29 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.760 an actual run here an AW. But Brian's career is 30 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.439 coming to an end as far as him being a 31 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.439 full time performer, and it didn't look like we were 32 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.640 going to get this match, a match that Nigel McGinnis 33 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.640 has wanted for so long. It was the entire reason 34 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.359 that he wanted to come back in the first place, 35 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.959 was to get in the ring with Brian Daniels. Well 36 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.319 tonight it was made official that on September twenty fifth 37 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:10.759 at Grand Slam AW Dynamite, it will now be Brian 38 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.080 Danglson the AW World Heavyweight Champion, not for the title 39 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:20.719 for Brian Danielson. One on one with Nigel McGuinness. Tony 40 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.159 Kahan made the announcement official. They put the graphic up 41 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.400 for it that match will take place. This will be 42 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:32.000 the first meeting between these two men since their last 43 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.159 match together in Ring of Honor in September of two 44 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.479 thousand and nine, and in fact, the date of the 45 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.280 Grand Slam Show will be one day shy of the 46 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.639 fifteen year anniversary of the match that they had at 47 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.800 the Manhattan Center in roh which was meant to be 48 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.479 their swan song. They were leaving, both men were leaving 49 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.719 at the same time, and they were both going to WWE. 50 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.879 That was the plan. Brian Danielson did go to WWE 51 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.719 and had a struggle. He had to climb his way 52 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.280 up that mountain. He had to deal with a lot 53 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:09.479 of crap because he wasn't the prototypical WWE star, but 54 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.840 he made himself a star. He got over, he became 55 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.439 World Heavyweight Champion, he headlined WrestleMania, He did things that 56 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.639 he was never supposed to do. In spite of everything. 57 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.639 Nigel McGinnis was supposed to go to WWE as well. 58 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.560 He was a little too honest for his own good 59 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.599 and he confided in WWE during the process that all 60 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.159 wrestlers go through to get their medicals taken care of. That. 61 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.599 He had some pre existing injuries and namely, I think 62 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.919 it was some earlier bicep tears that he did not 63 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.639 have fixed. He couldn't afford to. WWE wouldn't give him 64 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.800 a contract unless he went and got his injuries taken 65 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.400 care of. He couldn't afford to do it. You know, 66 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.000 these days, maybe WWE would pay for it, but back 67 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.960 then they didn't and that was it. They were scinded 68 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.360 the offer. He never signed a contract and stead he 69 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.400 ended up in TNA. That's where he had the Desmond 70 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.000 Wolf Front and then he had the issue where he 71 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.000 contracted hepatitis, took himself out of the ring. Eventually he 72 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.319 recovered from that, but that was it. That was the 73 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.879 end of his in ring career. So two very different 74 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.600 paths in this business. And Nigel touched on that in 75 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.160 the ring during his promo tonight, that that was supposed 76 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.399 to be him, He and Brian both they were supposed 77 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.199 to go to the big time. They were both supposed 78 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.279 to become big stars. Brian did, Nigel did not. He 79 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.839 has resented him for it ever since. That is the 80 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.519 whole essence of this on screen feud, this rivalry, this hatred, 81 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.800 this resentment that McGinnis has for him. That's the story there. 82 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:45.759 So now we're going to get them back in the 83 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.800 ring for the first time in a very long time. Well, 84 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.199 what that means is that there will be no AW 85 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.839 World Championship match on that show. Instead, we had Darby 86 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.639 Allen and John Moxley face to face tonight and John 87 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.000 mox said, look, the champion, after what happened this past weekend, 88 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.759 is indisposed there will be no AW World Championship match 89 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:09.680 on that show, even though you won the right to 90 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.319 challenge for the title. But I want that shot instead, 91 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.319 so why don't you give it to me? And what 92 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.759 ended up happening is they made a match official for 93 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.199 Grand Slam where it will now be John Moxley one 94 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.839 on one with Darby Allen for Darby's shot at the 95 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.759 AW World Heavyweight Championship, which he's under no obligation to 96 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.079 put on the line. It would be the equivalent of 97 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.319 a money in the bankholder saying Okay, I'll put my 98 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.800 briefcase on the line. But you know Darby, he's not 99 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:41.360 all there, he doesn't care, so he agreed, so now 100 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.680 we're getting two big matches on that show, that being 101 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.519 the other one. But there's a logic gap here, and 102 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.360 the logic, I mean, it's glaring. It's a glaring logic gap. 103 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.000 And they tried to kind of sort of explain it away, 104 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.199 but it's still fucking stupid. That don't get it twisted. 105 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.480 I'm very happy. I'm very excited that we're gonna get 106 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.600 Brian one on one with Nigel. I'm very much looking 107 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.000 forward to that match. That's great. I was actually hoping 108 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.720 maybe they would do it all out instead of Jack Perry, 109 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.319 we'd get Brian Danielson at Nigel McGinnis. So instead they're 110 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.240 gonna do it at Grand Slam. That's great. But you 111 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.639 had a segment earlier in the show where John Moxley said, look, 112 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.800 the champion is at a commission right now, he's indisposed. 113 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.519 There will be no championship match. How about you put 114 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.319 your shot on the line against me. That's how we 115 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.600 got mox and Darby. But yet later on in the 116 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.959 same show, Tony Kahan gives the okay for Nigel mcguinnis 117 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.560 to get in the ring with the champion, who is 118 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.920 currently indisposed. After nearly being murdered at all out on 119 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.399 Saturday night. So how do we go from Tony Kahn 120 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.959 approving of this match change. Okay, I guess we're not 121 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.319 gonna have a world championship match on my show, but 122 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.959 I'm cool if mox and Darby want to throw down 123 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.680 for the title shot, that's cool. And an hour later 124 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.720 he's okaying a match between his champion and Nigel McGinnis. 125 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.120 It just it's stupid. The way they went about doing 126 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.040 it just seemed very haphazard. Now they did have ex 127 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:16.959 caliber on commentary, try to explain this by explaining that, well, 128 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.879 if Brian is clear, if Brian Danielson is clear, then 129 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.720 the match will happen. I mean, the graphic was up 130 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.759 on the screen. They're not announcing the match clearly unless 131 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:31.199 the match is going to happen. We know this, We 132 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.360 already know this. So it's a very It was very 133 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.279 weird and it is very dumb no matter how hard 134 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.959 they may try to explain it. The question is why 135 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.000 did they make this change. Was this change planned from 136 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.399 day one or was this a change that Tony Kahan 137 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.439 came to in the last week or two. I think 138 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.920 it's one of two things, or maybe a combination of both. 139 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.399 I think it's a situation where they realize that Brian 140 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.279 pers is going to drop the title of Wressel Dream. 141 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.800 Wressell Dream is coming up in Tacoma, Washington on October twelfth. 142 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:07.959 I'm sure Brian is going to defend the title on 143 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.759 that show, probably against the winner of Moxley and Darby, 144 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.639 if not both of them, maybe it ends up being 145 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.600 a three way, but that is very likely that Brian 146 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.480 Danielson is not going to make it out of that 147 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.560 show as the aw World Heavyweight Champion, and the moment 148 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.439 he won the title from Swerve at Wembley, I never 149 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.560 felt as if we were getting a long title run. 150 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.120 I didn't think Brian was going to win it and 151 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.360 hold it for six months or for a year. This 152 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.639 is a short term thing, and I could very easily 153 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:42.720 see him dropping the belt into Coma next month and 154 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.639 that's the end of his full time run. If that's 155 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.039 the case, then it's a race against the clock, because 156 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.559 even though Brian Danielson is not retiring full time, it's 157 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.519 not like that will be his last match ever. Him 158 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.679 saying that when he loses the title, that will be 159 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.720 his last match as far as a full time performer. 160 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.279 That tells me we're not going to see Brian Danielson 161 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.000 back in the ring for a hot minute. It's gonna 162 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.200 be a while and either we'll get the Nigel McGinnis 163 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.840 match potentially much later on, or we'll never get it 164 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.399 at all. So they may have looked at it and said, well, 165 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.039 you know what, it's now or never. Tony Khan probably 166 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.960 wanted to see the match. Nigel wants the match. I'm 167 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.440 sure Brian wanted the match. If we're gonna do it, 168 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.559 now's the time to do it. So if we have 169 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.639 to reconfigure a few things to make this work, then 170 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:35.320 let's make it work. Or or did Tony Kahan look 171 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.320 at the poor ticket sales for Grand Slam, which is 172 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.639 only a couple of weeks away. They're gonna be at 173 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.799 Arthur Ashe Stadium to say the things that this fourth 174 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.720 year in a row. I think did he look at 175 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.759 that and say I need to do something to try 176 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.159 to shake things up here and spice the show up 177 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.759 to try to drum up ticket sales. The last update 178 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.360 that I saw was less than a week week ago. 179 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.879 It was late last week. Wrestle Ticks had an update, 180 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.919 thirty seven hundred tickets as of the end of last week. 181 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.000 Thirty seven hundred. Maybe by now it's up to four thousand, 182 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.120 but thirty seven hundred tickets out for Grand Slam. When 183 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.679 they ran their first Grand Slam show three years ago, 184 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:22.919 they put twenty thousand people in that building. Second show 185 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.120 they did, I think they had like thirteen thousand. Now 186 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.240 they're down to thirty seven hundred and we are a 187 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.080 couple of weeks away now. One thing that aw was 188 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.120 very good at is getting people to buy tickets late. 189 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.720 They get good walk up business, and I'm sure that 190 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.000 number will be a bit higher than thirty seven hundred. 191 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.759 They won't have thirty seven hundred on the day of, 192 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.600 but to be at thirty seven hundred right now, I mean, 193 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.440 there's no positive way to spin that. I mean, you 194 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.799 talk about a steep drop. That's a steep drop. And 195 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.480 they're only set up for about five thousand. So he's 196 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.720 looking at this card and saying, what can I do 197 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.559 to try to get people excited to buy tickets and 198 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.919 come to the show. Max and Darby is a big match. 199 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.120 It's not a title match, but it's a big match. 200 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.000 Brian Danielson and Nigel McGinnis is an attraction, and I 201 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.600 do think for their audience, they likely will be excited 202 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.159 and want to see that match. And it's the New 203 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.639 York market, which again, the last match they had was 204 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.519 in New York, it was at the Manhattan Center. There's 205 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.720 a lot of Ring of Honor fans, a lot of 206 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.519 people that will be in the building that night were 207 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.159 likely at the Manhattan Center the last time Danielson and 208 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.679 McGinnis had a match. So I do think that will 209 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:38.440 help them sell some tickets. So we'll see if it's 210 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.720 smart and if it's an effective strategy. I think it's 211 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.720 a combination of both. I think both of those things 212 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.759 can be true. I think Danielson's run really could be 213 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.200 coming to an end in October. And I also think 214 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.559 Tony Kahn wants to sell fucking tickets because he's had 215 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.200 a real rough go of it moving tickets for that show. 216 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.480 And that's why I think we ended up in the 217 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.440 spot that we now find ourselves in. But again, it's 218 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:02.960 still silly, just from a storyline logic perspective to do 219 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:08.480 what they did tonight, where you basically just upend this 220 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.279 card in this championship match and then you end up 221 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.200 booking the champion for the show. Even if it's a 222 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.120 non title match, you book the champion for the show. 223 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.799 Doesn't make a lot of sense. But you know what, 224 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.399 I'm glad we're getting Brian Danielson and Nigel McGinnis, and 225 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.320 I hope, I hope that the atmosphere could be something 226 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.799 along the lines of what it was for Danielson and 227 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.200 Kenny Omega. That match they had on that first Grand 228 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.159 Slam was such a great match. They had that thirty 229 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.399 minute match. But again, they had twenty thousand people in 230 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.879 the building that night, So no matter how great the 231 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.639 atmosphere will end up being, it won't be quite the same. 232 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.960 But I am happy or at least getting the match, 233 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.000 the other big match on the show tonight, or the 234 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.360 other big item on the show tonight. They held the 235 00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.000 first ever tag team Casino Gauntlet match on AW Television, 236 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.639 and this was easily the weakest of the four casino 237 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.240 galling matches they have done so far. That's four in 238 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.360 the last five months. So you talk about taking a 239 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.559 new concept and driving it into the fucking ground, they 240 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:18.399 are well on their way to doing that. I mean, 241 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:19.919 we had the first one. I want to say it 242 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:21.679 was the end of April, we had another one on 243 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:25.320 television maybe in June. We had the one at Wembley, 244 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.440 which I think was the best one so far, and 245 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.960 then we had the one tonight which was easily the 246 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.240 weakest of all of them. And it's not even a 247 00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:37.559 regular tag team that is going to be challenging the 248 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.440 Young Bucks at Grand Slam for the aw World Tag 249 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.679 Team titles. It will be the team of Will Osprey 250 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.879 and Kyle Fletcher, the two friends. They are going after 251 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.840 the Young Bucks and the aw World Tag Team titles 252 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.200 in two weeks. And it's clear to me that they're 253 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.200 shooting an angle here involving the Kallus family. So it's 254 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.360 not even though they're not a regular tag team, they 255 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.679 are friends, right. They've established the friendship between Ospray and 256 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:09.320 Fletcher on television already. And we know that Osprey asked 257 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.799 to be let out of his contract early with the 258 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.039 Kallus family. Don Caallus let him out, but he owed 259 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.080 him a favor. This was that favorite. Callous cashed in 260 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.960 on that favor. Osprey agreed to be in the Gauntlet. 261 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.679 They won. What's going to go down now at Grand 262 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.240 Slam we're not going to have new tag team champions, 263 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.559 but I do think there's a storyline reason why we're 264 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.480 getting this match, and as far as the angle that 265 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.639 they will likely shoot when they lose that match on 266 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.840 that show, the real story of that Gallin match though, 267 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.120 where it was the Outrunners the Outrunners, And there's probably 268 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:49.759 people who are like, what the what If you don't 269 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.559 watch Collision and you don't watch Rampage, you probably have 270 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.600 no idea what I'm talking about. But there's a little 271 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.879 team called the Outrunners and they were super fucking over 272 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.440 in this match, more over than any other tag team. 273 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.759 I mean, FTR got a good pop when they came out. 274 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.240 Osprey obviously is very over, but the Outrunners come out, 275 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.440 and I mean, you think it was a top tag 276 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.039 team coming out to the ring. People were going crazy 277 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:18.440 for these guys, so they could have had the Outrunners 278 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.840 go over. I mean, obviously it's a very silly, over 279 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.480 the top gimmick that they're doing. I mean, they're a 280 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.799 tag team straight out of the fucking nineteen eighties. I 281 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.440 think it's entertaining, but they did not pick up the win. 282 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:32.159 But I was not expecting them to come out and 283 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:34.159 get the kind of reaction that they got on their show, 284 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.639 which should be assigned to Tony Kahan that he should 285 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:38.360 do more with them, meaning we should get to see 286 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:42.000 them on Dynamite more often they're on the other shows. 287 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:45.360 Clearly they've been getting over slowly, but surely they've been 288 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.039 getting over on Rampage and Collision, because to come out 289 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.320 and get the reaction they got tonight was very unexpected, 290 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.759 At least for me, it was very unexpected. We're going 291 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.320 to talk about this entire show, which was a mixed bag. 292 00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.720 I thought it was a solid show overall. Not a 293 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.279 great show, but it was a strong show in terms 294 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.519 of setting up the card for Grand Slam. Clearly, one 295 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.840 thing that is very clear coming out of this show, 296 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.120 Tony Khan is doing the best he can in his 297 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.360 mind to try to load that show up on September 298 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.120 twenty fifth and move as many tickets as possible between 299 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.639 now and then to try to beef up the attendance 300 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.960 for that show. Whatever the attendance ends up being, it 301 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.039 will easily be the lowest attendance they've had so far 302 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.320 for an Arthur Ash show. It just keeps going down 303 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.639 and down and down. That's why he's doing what he's doing. 304 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.799 This is your aw Dynamite review again. It is September eleventh, 305 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.840 twenty twenty four. I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you 306 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.759 for choosing me for your Dynamite coverage here tonight. I 307 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:50.919 will try to get you in and out as quickly 308 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:55.960 as possible here like and subscribe for notifications and again 309 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.399 your messages, you will see them as they come in 310 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.639 if they come in, popping up here on your screen. 311 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:08.160 We had an opening video package which I actually thought 312 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.119 was very well done. It was very well put together. 313 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.160 It had this kind of dramatic music in the background 314 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.599 showing footage from all Out as John Moxley is explaining, 315 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.680 and they show Moxley and the members of the Blackpool 316 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:25.519 Combat Club except for Uda, who had stayed back in 317 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.799 the ring to assist Brian after he was attacked. But 318 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.720 the footage is showing them walking back through the backstage 319 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.000 area as Moxley is sort of narrating and talking to 320 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.400 us and cutting a promo and he says he didn't 321 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.799 enjoy what he did, but he did what had to 322 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.880 be done, and he said Brian Danielson did not have 323 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.119 the stomach for this any longer. Two years ago, They 324 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.119 made a commitment for something real, something that would last 325 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.559 years after they're gone, an idea that could not be destroyed, 326 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:03.279 not for money, not for recognition. Mister patience, mister empathy. 327 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.039 The greatest man he's ever known. He said, all he 328 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:10.759 sees backstage is egos and jealousy when he looks around. 329 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:19.640 Moxley said their mentor, obviously referring to William Regel, once 330 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.759 referred to Danielson as the perfect wrestler. He said Danielson 331 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:29.640 was always his lordship's favorite, but Regal saw himself in Moxley. 332 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.319 Moxley said, He's no hero and he's no villain. What 333 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.960 he is is the one true king of these lands. 334 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:43.079 They tried things Danielson's way. Diplomacy failed. Now he chooses war. 335 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.039 So I like this, even though they never showed any 336 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.799 footage of the actual attack on Danielson, and I didn't 337 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.359 think they would show the spot with the plastic bag 338 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.839 the suffocation on TV. It's like some of the stuff 339 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.759 we saw in the Hangman and Swerve Cage matches is 340 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.200 not suitable for television. I didn't think we were going 341 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.279 to get a replay of the syringe spot, which was 342 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.720 stupid anyway, But yeah, they did not show the plastic 343 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:13.920 bag spot here, so they said Danielson was at home. 344 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.680 He was convalescing from his injuries, so he was not 345 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.759 on the show tonight, Nor was Wheeler Udah, who ex 346 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:25.720 Caliber said was with him by his side. I thought 347 00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.680 that was a little strange. I said, well, why is he? Uh? 348 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.279 Why is he at Brian's side? I so was he 349 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.039 wiping his ass for him? I mean, does think Brian. 350 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.759 I think Brian's wife probably has him well taken care of. 351 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:40.920 I don't know that Yuda has to be by his side, 352 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:46.240 but fairly Da is very loyal to Brian Danielson. So 353 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:49.599 after this, they showed Darby Allen skateboarding into the parking 354 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:53.599 area entering the venue, and they pointed out on commentary 355 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.119 that John Moxley the past couple of weeks he's been 356 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.119 looking for Darby, so tonight you might finally get that 357 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.880 face to face com ffrontation. After this, it was to 358 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:05.519 the ring where Tony Shravanni was standing there and he 359 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:11.440 introduced us to the Patriarchy. Christian Cage kill Switch, Nick 360 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:16.079 Wayne and Mother Wayne all come down to the ring, 361 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.880 Christian said. The trio's titles were stolen from them, but 362 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.079 he rallied by winning the contract in the Casino Gauntlet 363 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.720 at Wembley Stadium. He recalled Killswitch grabbing him by the 364 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.920 throat for a choke slam. That was just a tea, remember, 365 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.039 then he ended up not choke slamming him. Christian said 366 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.200 he looked into his eyes. He saw what he's been 367 00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:39.200 waiting to see. He said, Killswitch is a monster and 368 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:43.319 a killer, and Killswitch belongs to him. Crowd started a 369 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:48.559 Lucosaurus chant. Christian said, his name is Killswitch. He said 370 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:50.720 he was on his way to cash in the contract 371 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.759 it all out, but he decided it wasn't the right time, 372 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:56.559 and he said that he will beat Brian Danielson so 373 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.839 bad that he'll wish his wife Brie was the one 374 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.720 with see te so that she wouldn't be able to 375 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.039 comprehend what an embarrassment he was as champion. So he 376 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.079 declared himself the next aw World Champion, and as the 377 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.960 patriarchy was leaving the ring, the camera panned the crowd 378 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:20.079 panned over to the crowd and spotted Kip Sabian sitting 379 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.759 in the front row, and then he walked away. So 380 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.880 a simple promo just to remind everybody that Christian still 381 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.400 has that contract to cash in. It's basically money in 382 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.319 the bank rules, so he can cash in for a 383 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.960 championship match whenever he's getting ready. The Kip Sabian thing, 384 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:39.519 I could not care any less about. I'll just be 385 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.640 honest with you. I assume that has something to do 386 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.640 with setting something up with him and Nick Wayne, probably 387 00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:52.279 for an episode of Rampage again. I don't care. In 388 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.359 the back, Renee interviewed Don Kallis, who was joined by 389 00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.480 Kyle Fletcher and Kenoski takesha Will. Osprey was there, even 390 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.400 though he has not been part of the Callous crew 391 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:05.119 for a few months. Callous made a pitch to have 392 00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:08.160 Ospbury team with Fletcher in the Tag Team Gauntlet match 393 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.640 tonight so that they could challenge for the aw tag 394 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:14.319 team titles. Said that he had a lot or Osprey 395 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.599 said that he had a lot on his plate and 396 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:20.039 he didn't seem too keen on the idea. Callous reminded 397 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.920 Osprey that he promised him a favor because he led 398 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.000 him out of his contract with the group early. So 399 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.440 he said, you know what, I'm cashing in on that favor. 400 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:31.359 So then Kyle Fletcher spoke up. He said, look, I'm 401 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:35.000
