WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:05.960 Tonight was a three hour block of aw programming, three 2 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.279 hours Dynamite and Collision, the go home show to Full Gear, 3 00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.320 which is coming up from Newark this coming Saturday. And 4 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.440 you know, last week we had two blood and guts matches. 5 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.039 Last week, we had a lot of blood spilled. Last week, 6 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.239 we saw crazy shit. We saw people thrown through flaming tables. 7 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.640 We saw people going into broken glass, and we saw thumbtacks, 8 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.199 and we saw barbed wire. We saw all kinds of 9 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.960 crazy stuff. But you would almost never even know that 10 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.479 that happened a week ago because the only person who 11 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.960 really was held off the show and was referred to 12 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.960 almost like in the past tense and was not there 13 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.079 because he supposedly suffered second degree burns, which may well 14 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.039 be legit if you watched the show last week was 15 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.960 Darby Allen. Most everybody else was on the show. They 16 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.560 were wrestling in many cases, and again it's as if 17 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.439 what we saw last week did matter or didn't even happen, 18 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.959 which I thought was very, very weird considering how much 19 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.079 blood was spilled on that show last week. But blood 20 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.079 in the Gods is in the rear view. We got 21 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.359 Full Gear coming up. We added a few more matches 22 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.400 to the card tonight, of course we did so I 23 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.680 will have a full rundown of what the card is 24 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.680 going to be this weekend. We'll go through my very 25 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.719 quick predictions later on at the end. But tonight we 26 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.560 had the return of Kenny Omega. He wasn't on the 27 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.159 show for very long. He didn't do too much, but 28 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.239 we haven't seen him in a little bit, so he 29 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.400 was back on the show tonight. We had Mercedes Monet 30 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.400 in the main event of Collision, the Boston Girl. They 31 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.439 were in Boston tonight, so they saved her for the 32 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.159 very end of the show. She was wrestling Red Velvet, 33 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.560 who we have not seen in the ring since June, 34 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.439 in a basically kind of a unification match or whatever 35 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.359 you want to call it, because we had the Ring 36 00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.359 of Honor Women's Television Champion against the interim Women's Television Champion. 37 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.439 Is if anybody gives a shit about the interim or 38 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:10.280 even frankly non interim Ringovater Television Championship, I certainly don't. 39 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.919 That was the main event though on Collision. I'll give 40 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.080 you one guess as to who went over in that match. 41 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.719 It's all about pushing Mercedes and Statlander, which is coming 42 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.719 up on Saturday for the only championship that really matters, 43 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.039 which is the aw Women's World Championship. So that was 44 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:28.560 in the main event at the end of the show, 45 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.960 and it was it was a journey to get there 46 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.960 from start to finish. This was a long show. One 47 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.080 of the many reasons I hate three hours. I don't 48 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.439 care what the promotion is, I fucking hate it. But 49 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.080 because Full Gear is coming up on Saturday, you can't 50 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.840 have Collision on Saturday instance, I guess instead of doing 51 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.400 it on Thursday, they decided to do a three hour block, 52 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.000 so that is what we ended up with. We also 53 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.439 had a couple of women's Tag Team Title Tournament matches 54 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.159 on this show. I was curious coming into this, what 55 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.159 are they going to do at Full Gear because there's 56 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.000 a lot of women who are missing and there really 57 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:07.039 isn't enough time to set up the finals for that show. 58 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.560 We got our answer tonight. We are going to have 59 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.520 all of the women who are in the semi final 60 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.840 round of the Tag Team Title Tournament, all of those 61 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.400 teams are going to be in a match on Saturday. 62 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.120 That has been added with a very interesting stipulation. That 63 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:31.919 is completely and utterly unnecessary. But since we're adding stipulations 64 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.280 to everything on this show, I guess Tony Kahn figure 65 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.599 we need a stipulation for this too. We'll get into that. 66 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.199 We also found out that the Continental Classic is officially 67 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.360 starting on the show next week, which usually it does 68 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.199 coming out of full gear, and that will take us 69 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.680 to I assume World's end. So Continental Classic time is 70 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.680 almost here. That's what we're gonna talk about here, and 71 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:57.879 I'm going to try to get you out of here 72 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.400 as quickly as I can because I was not a 73 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.199 fan of this show tonight. I was pretty bored by 74 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.360 a lot of this show tonight. This was not one 75 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.719 of the stronger go home shows that they have had. 76 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.960 I cannot tell you that this show tonight made me 77 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.840 any more excited to watch this pay per view on Saturday. 78 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.120 If I told you that, I would be lying to you. 79 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.759 But we're going to talk about Dynamite. We're going to 80 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.240 talk about collision. We are live here on YouTube. It 81 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.000 is a Wednesday night. It is November nineteenth, twenty twenty five. 82 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.439 I am the Solemn Monster, celebrating eighteen years of the 83 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:35.879 Sound of All November Long Super chats are open. I 84 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.360 saw that our boy Joseph did a little hit and 85 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.279 run earlier, so we'll be getting to his and all 86 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.399 of your questions as well later on here in the stream. 87 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.000 And if you missed any of the other content this 88 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.319 week Big Raw Recap show on Monday night, coming out 89 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.199 of that Madison Square Garden Show sound off this past 90 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.600 weekend episode nine thirty eight, please go back and check 91 00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.920 that out. What are you waiting for? That'll be the 92 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.800 they were waiting for you when we are done here. 93 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.199 And also be aware no SmackDown review. On Friday night, 94 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.199 they opened the show with Bobby Lashley. This feels like 95 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.839 eighty four years ago, Bobby Lashley against Ricochet, with the 96 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.360 winner of this entering the Casino Gauntlet at full gear 97 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.040 in the number one spot. Because in the Casino Gauntlet, 98 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.480 of course, it could end at any moment, so you 99 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.600 want to be in that match as early as possible, 100 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.399 or else you may not be able to make it 101 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.439 out to the ring. So whereas in the Royal Rumble 102 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.079 you would not want to be number one, in a 103 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.120 match like this, you want to be the first person 104 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.000 out there or the second person out there. Number one 105 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.040 and number two are effectively the same thing, but that 106 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.279 national championship will be decided in the Casino Gauntlet. This 107 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.079 new title that they are adding two new championships. The 108 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.560 women's tag team titles have not yet been decided. But 109 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.800 we're also going to have you know what the crazy 110 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.439 thing is, now that I think about it, We're going 111 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.639 to have a new national champion before we even have 112 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.079 women tag team champions. That to me is just fucking ridiculous. 113 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.959 Ex Caliber reminded all of us that the Full Gear 114 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.720 Countdown Special, by the way, would air tonight after collision. 115 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:17.560 Fuck you, Yeah, not sticking around for that, but if 116 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:22.399 you want four hours of aw enjoy. So once Bobby 117 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.519 Lashley and Ricochet were in the ring, Ricochet took the microphone. 118 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.360 I think they had already rang the bell, and he 119 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.399 took the microphone and he says that you know, he 120 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.480 uh healing on the Boston Crab bringing up the Philadelphia 121 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.040 Eagles mentioned Fly Eagles Fly. He says he knows that 122 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.759 Patriots fans don't remember what it's like to win a 123 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.079 Super Bowl. The only good thing to come out of 124 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.120 Massachusetts is his wife. He said that he was surprised 125 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.240 Ariel Helwani did not ask Tony Kanna about MVP having 126 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.759 dementia since he called the national title the international title. 127 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.920 Last week he called Lashly a bald idiot rambling, and 128 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.399 Lashly finally choked lamb him out of the ring onto 129 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.319 the gates of agony, and then Lashly was about to 130 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.920 steamroll all of them, which he did, including launching Tota 131 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.240 Leona over the guardrail by the timekeepers area. I don't 132 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.040 know if he landed on the table that was there 133 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.600 the floor, but he went right over that guardrail. Ricochet 134 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.040 side stepped a corner charge back inside. He got a 135 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.720 schoolboy for a two count. Then he fired off a 136 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.240 whole host of kicks and a running shooting Star moonsalt combo. 137 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.759 Ricochet rolled through a top rope shooting Star press attempt, 138 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.439 and then he pulled Bryce Remsburg in front of him, 139 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.759 which allowed him to rake the eyes loaded up for 140 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.920 the spirit gun and Ricochet charge. Lashley caught him though, 141 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.800 into a big spinebuster and a spear and thanks for coming, Ricochet, 142 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.839 That's all she wrote. And just like that, Bobby Lashley 143 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.519 wins and he will be number one in the Casino Gauntlet. 144 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.839 You know Ricochet's promo at the beginning of this match 145 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.480 was longer than the match itself. I don't know if 146 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.480 that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's certainly 147 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.519 not a good thing. But lastly, is number one in 148 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.120 the Gauntlet. It does not make it. I know, in theory, 149 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.000 it makes it more likely he might win it. Actually, 150 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.399 in sort of think about it, put your wrestling thinking 151 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:19.279 cap on here, it makes it less likely because it's 152 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.600 a little too obvious. If Bobby Lashley is coming out 153 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:23.959 there at number one. Oh man, he's got the he's 154 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.279 got the advantage in this match. Sure he does. So 155 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.600 we know one person who's not winning the Gauntlet on Saturday, 156 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.360 and Ricochet also, Like you would think maybe they're setting 157 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.399 up Ricochet for a win. Man, he got fucking squashed 158 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.320 basically here in this match. I don't think so. I 159 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.600 think they could potentially be setting this up for someone 160 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.200 that people aren't thinking about. I don't think that just 161 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.399 because Ricochet doesn't really have a whole lot to do 162 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.759 and because of the way he lost here, that necessarily 163 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.759 means he's gonna win the championship. But you know what, 164 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.559 even if he did, Like how sad is that you're 165 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.360 gonna introduce this new championship. Look at the way that 166 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.399 they booked Ricochet on this show. I'm not even saying 167 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.679 that it didn't make sense that Bobby Lashley would wreck 168 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.559 this guy, but like he's treated like a total Jabron. 169 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.720 Now you turn around on Saturday and you put this 170 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.799 championship on him, What does that say for the national title? 171 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.279 Like it literally just becomes something to give to someone 172 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.759 who does not have anything going on. So here, we 173 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.840 will give you a belt. If you can introduce a 174 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.080 new championship, at least put it on somebody that you're 175 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:31.440 actually planning on pushing. I got a different idea about this. 176 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.519 Talk about that when we do the predictions later Samo 177 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.279 Joe was backstage with Katiori Shabata said that it must 178 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.559 feel good for Hangman Adam Page to be a Fighting 179 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.759 World Champion. Joe said that he was told if he 180 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.919 interferes tonight in Hangman's match, he will lose his aw 181 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.519 World title match on Saturday. Joe said, Page's whole world 182 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.639 of joy and happiness is about to get very different, 183 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.639 very quickly. He said, Hangman is guilty of crimes and 184 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.159 transgressions against the and it will be at the hands 185 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:07.440 of Sabata deadly by design, violent by intention. Tonight, Shabata 186 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.600 begins Page's payment and at full Gear, Joe said he 187 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:15.600 will fully collect. Backstage, we saw the young Bucks watching 188 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.879 video of their match from Full Gear back in twenty twenty. Ah, 189 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.440 the old days, Remember when we used to gather here 190 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.519 on the channel back in the pandemic days at Daily's place. 191 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.720 I don't really reminisce about the pandemic days too much 192 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.720 because I really just don't want to think about those days. 193 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.519 But those were the early days of the Dynamite reviews 194 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.120 and the aw pay per view reviews, and it's very 195 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.200 interesting to go back and think about the product then 196 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.039 as compared to the product now as we sit here 197 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.919 five years later. It is very interesting. So they're watching 198 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:53.159 back footage of that match where they teamed with Kenny Omega. 199 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.200 Redee Piquette walks in. She asks the Bucks if they 200 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.960 would join the don Kallis family. Are you going to 201 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.639 join the don Kallis family? And before they could answer, 202 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.759 Callus showed up. He told the Bucks to go show 203 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.000 the world why you are the best tag team on 204 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.279 the planet because their match was coming up next. And 205 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.159 then after you guys can give all the Rubes out there, 206 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.559 your answer as far as you're joining the family. He 207 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.480 gave them another grandiose introduction on their way out to 208 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.240 the ring, shitload of pyro. The Bucks did not look 209 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.159 overly enthusiastic about any of this. But it was the 210 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.879 Bucks and Josh Alexander against Skyflight. Many of you may 211 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:41.159 be asking, what what's that. It's a team, it's a trio. 212 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:48.840 It's Scorpio Sky and top Flight hence Skyflight. Now, I 213 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.600 won't fault you if you have no idea what I'm 214 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.600 talking about, because the last time that we even saw 215 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:58.720 Top Flight wrestling here on Dynamite was back in May, 216 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.600 and even worse, Scorpio Sky. Do you know the last 217 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.440 time that Scorpio Sky wrestled on this program. You would 218 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.159 have to go all the way back to July sixth 219 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:15.559 of twenty twenty two when he lost the TNT Championship 220 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.440 to Wardlow. Now you want to talk about feeling like 221 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:25.559 a lifetime ago, that's a lifetime ago. But here they 222 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.799 are just like that. They're back on Dynamite. They're gonna 223 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.240 take on the Young Bucks and the Kallis family here. 224 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.720 So the Bucks were setting up for a double team 225 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:38.039 move on Scorpio. When Alexander tagged himself into the match, 226 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.120 Bucks were not pleased about this. Darius Martin tagged then 227 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.679 he hit a standing Spanish fly in a DDT on Alexander, 228 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.320 which led to a near fall. The Bucks started a 229 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.559 super kick party. They set up Dante for a BTE trigger, 230 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.399 but he pulled the Bucks arms to make them collide 231 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.679 into one another. The Bucks came back with a meltzer 232 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:01.159 driver on Dante. Alexander then shoved the Bucks out of 233 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.759 the way so that he could apply an ankle lock 234 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.200 and he got the submission win for his team. Now, 235 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.279 after the match was over, Don Callus gets into the 236 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:15.440 ring and also here comes Hetcha Sero, Here comes Mark Davis, 237 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:20.960 Here comes Rocky Romero said, now you guys can announce 238 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.200 you were going to join the Don Callis family. The 239 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.080 Bucks were reluctant. Callous reminded them that you know, the 240 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.840 money's been flowing now that Callous has been looking out 241 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.960 for them in recent weeks, and he demanded that they 242 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.879 announced that they were joining the Kallus family. So he 243 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.519 started getting agitated. He said, you know AW can be 244 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.440 a very dangerous Oh, yes, I know, AW can be 245 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.559 a very dangerous place. I watched the show last week, 246 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.600 a little too dangerous, but he said, aw can be 247 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.320 a very dangerous place. And the Bucks walking around without 248 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.519 a family, now, that could result in something bad happening. 249 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.679 Callous would hate to see what happened to Kenny Omega 250 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:09.919 happened to the Bucks. So what they were going to 251 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.799 do though, as far as the Bucks will never know 252 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:16.240 as far as their decision here because they were interrupted 253 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:22.240 by Kenny Omega's music and Omega made his way out. 254 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.320 He had a chair in hand, he took out Rocky 255 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.679 Romero and Mark Davis with it in the aisle before 256 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.960 getting in the ring, and he tackled Josh Alexander. The 257 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.320 Bucks pulled Omega off, and you know, he shoved them, 258 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.080 and that little distraction was enough for Alexander to pick 259 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.519 the ankle to get the ankle lock. Callus ordered Alexander 260 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.000 to let him go, said, you know what, the Bucks 261 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.240 don't have to announce if they're going to join the family. 262 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.559 All they need to do is take Kenny Omega and 263 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.679 deliver a bte trigger to him right here in the 264 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.080 middle of the ring. Right now. The Bucks slowly looked 265 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.879 like they were about to do it. When outcome Jack 266 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.240 Perry and Lucasaurus and they cleared ring. Jack Perry had 267 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.679 a shovel. Lucasaurus and I shit you not, he had 268 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:10.240 a vacuum cleaner, which was just a ridiculous visual. I 269 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:12.519 suppose he just grabbed the first thing he saw. Now, 270 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.200 why there was a vacuum cleaner sitting there, I have 271 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.440 no idea, But he had a vacuum cleaner with him 272 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.360 and Jack Perry, by the way, with that shovel and 273 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.279 the vest and whatever he was wearing, he looked like 274 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.799 a fucking park ranger. So outside the ring with the 275 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.039 rest of the family, as they bailed, or they were 276 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.759 in the middle of bailing, you could see the young Bucks. 277 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:39.159 They look very conflicted over this whole situation. So they 278 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.919 were really leaning very heavily into making you believe that 279 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:49.000 we are going to get a reunion of the elite. 280 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:54.279 And it makes me change my opinion of what I 281 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.759 thought we were going to get on Saturday, because I 282 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.039 do think all signs point to well Megain the Bucks 283 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.639 getting back together. Now, I can't discount the possibility they're 284 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.679 setting up some big swerve, you know it, full gear. 285 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.480 But it looks like because I mean, if you think 286 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.440 about it, they've been doing the buck like the broke 287 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.600 Bucks stuff for a while where they're out of money 288 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.879 and it was very entertaining for a while. That could 289 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:21.240 only go on for so long. It's a million dollar match, Like, 290 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.559 as ridiculous as that sounds, and it really the money 291 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.519 stuff at this point is just comically stupid. But it's 292 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.600 a million dollars on the line in this match. And 293 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.559 let's say the Heels win and the Bucks right, they 294 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.840 get back out of the Red and into the Green 295 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.279 or the black, whatever it is, and so now they 296 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.919 have money again to spend, Like when does this end? 297 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.000 Do they just go and spend it again? And you 298 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.799 get a lot of the same vignettes we had, you know, 299 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.559 over the last few months, like what's the endgame for this? 300 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:55.120 If not them turning back Babyface and kind of rejoining 301 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.799 the elite and getting the band back together. I don't 302 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.240 know if Hangman might end up getting involved, that would 303 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.759 feel like probably the endgame of this. They've been Heels 304 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.480 now for a while, so I think that's where we're headed. 305 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.039 I think that's probably the likely outcome of what we 306 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.759 are going to see at full gear or at least 307 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.720 the next step that will ultimately lead to that. After this, 308 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.799 they cut to the announced desk and they had Tony 309 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.880 Shavanni talk about the passing this past week of legendary 310 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:31.160 announcer Bob Caudle, who he worked with many many years ago. 311 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.359 I think he and Bob Caudle first worked together back 312 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:38.039 in the mid eighties, he said, and just passed away 313 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.240 at the age of ninety five. Shavanni says he was 314 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.839 the voice of his childhood and if there was a 315 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.400 wrestling Hall of Fame for announcers, said Bob would be 316 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:51.920 the first name inducted, and they put the rest in 317 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.160 Peace graphic up on the screen that took us into 318 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:58.039 a commercial break. Good on them for acknowledging Caddle here 319 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.880 on the show WWE. He didn't say a word about 320 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.559 him on Monday Night, so it was nice to see 321 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:09.240 aw acknowledge him here. Now. With Bobby Lashley having secured 322 00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.839 the number one spot in the Casino Gauntlet this weekend, 323 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.279 his Hurt Syndicate partner Shelton Benjamin had a match on 324 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.119 this show to decide the number two spot in the Gauntlet, 325 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.960 and his opponent here was Speedball Mike Bailey, This was 326 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.319 a good one with these two up until the finish. 327 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.920 MVP sat in on commentary and at one point in 328 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.200 the middle of the match, he stood up and he 329 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.000 was very frustrated with Benjamin kind of taking his time 330 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.000 and kind of toying with Bailey. So he stood up 331 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.559 and he started yelling at Shelton, telling him stop playing 332 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:48.279 with your food and end this. Bailey hit a standing 333 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.519 shooting star press. MVP yelled that you don't win matches 334 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.839 by flying through the air. Benjamin got an armbar apply, 335 00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.039 but Benjamin powered him up for a slam. Or I 336 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.000 should say Bailey got the arm bar, Benjamin powered him up. Bailey, though, 337 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.319 held on and both men ended up tumbling out over 338 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.480 the top rope together out to the floor. Back in 339 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.400 the ring, Bailey applied another arm bar that Benjamin escaped. 340 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:17.400 When they stood up, Benjamin superkicked Bailey, and what a superkick. 341 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:21.559 This was holy shit, the sound that this thing made 342 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.319 and the reaction from the crowd, like that should have 343 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:28.119 been and maybe was supposed to be the finish of 344 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.279 this match, because, I mean, the superkick is just such 345 00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:34.599 an abused move. We see multiple ones in every match right, 346 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.519 especially on this show. We just had the young Bucks 347 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:39.839 out there, and so whether it's the Young Bucks of 348 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.480 the USO's like, there's a lot of different people that 349 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:49.119 have incorporated superkicks into their act. But this superkick, this resonated. 350 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:52.480 This was like a gunshot going off and he covers 351 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:58.240 speedball and there's no doubt that his shoulders were down. 352 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.880 Just the camera that we had, it was very visible 353 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.680 his shoulders and Bailey's shoulders were flat on the mat. 354 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.079 He didn't lift them up. He didn't accidentally get them 355 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.920 up or attempt to lift them up. Paul Turner, though, 356 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.279 counts one, he counts two, and then he holds up 357 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:17.720 and he's sticking his hand under the shoulder as if 358 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.000 to like, oh, the shoulder was up. I'm like, no, no, 359 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.440 it wasn't, motherfucker. I'm watching the show. I have a 360 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.039 great view. The shoulder was not up. So something went 361 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.599 wrong here. I don't know if Bailey just forgot to 362 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.799 get his shoulder up if he was supposed to. I 363 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.279 don't know if he legitimately got his bell rung and 364 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.960 for a few seconds didn't know where he was. It 365 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.079 could have been as simple as the referee fucked up. 366 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.640 You know, when Paul Turner held up when he wasn't 367 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:47.440 supposed to. MVP jumped off commentary and got into the 368 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.440 ring thinking the match was over, and Paul Turner was like, no, no, no, 369 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.319 it's just the two and MVP, you know, got right 370 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.720 back out of the ring. So Benjamin got up, he 371 00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:00.960 hit a German suplex, he hit the running step up 372 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.440 knee in the corner, and then he hit one more 373 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.039 superkick and then he won the match. So there's not 374 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.599 a dat in my mind that was supposed to be 375 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:11.400 the finish. I mean, they just basically they added a 376 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.359 couple of moves and did another superkick, you know, to 377 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.039 make up for the botch. So it's unfortunate that that 378 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.799 happened because the two of them were having a pretty 379 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.359 good match outside of that little botch there at the end. 380 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.200 I thought it was a fun match, probably my favorite 381 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.839 one on the show. I think the announcers also did 382 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:31.599 not make a big enough deal about the fact that 383 00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:34.720 Lashly and Benjamin are now starting this Gauntlet on Saturday. 384 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.119 So the question is now, are they going to go 385 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.240 at it? Are they going to just stand around and 386 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.799 wait for Number three to come out and just work together, 387 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.000 or are they going to pull an axe and smash 388 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.920 at the beginning of the Royal Rumble in eighty nine 389 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.519 and be like, all right, bro, it's every man for 390 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.799 himself and just beat the holy hell out of each other. 391 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:57.480 I don't know, I just feel like the announcers didn't 392 00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.920 really dwell on that as much as they should have. 393 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:08.400 Of we had John Moxley and Claudio Castignoli against Orange 394 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.799 Cassidy and Roderick Strong. Strong set up Claudio for a supplex. 395 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:16.559 Moxley clipped the back of Strong's leg. Cassidy checked in 396 00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.079 and he sent Claudio to the floor. Cassidy went for 397 00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:22.559 a dive. Claudio, though, caught him. I pressed him over 398 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:25.880 his head and he walked him over towards the barricade, 399 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.000 and he just dropped him down face first, right on 400 00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:31.400 the top part of the barricade. After a break, Claudio 401 00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.640
