1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Dynamite. Tonight was the fallout edition from AW Redemption. We

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,800
are now officially on the road to Wembley, and they

3
00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:11,599
were in Detroit. Thought for sure we were gonna get

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,960
the MotorCity machine guns on the show Tonight did not

5
00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:17,679
get them. However, Collision is live in the same building

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,000
in Detroit tomorrow night. It is a live episode of Collision.

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,359
I'm sure Carlos Silva is punching air somewhere taking out

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,760
a contract on Tony Kahn, even though it is a

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,200
Warner Brothers Discovery decision. You know, there's a little show

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,600
called SummerSlam this weekend. I'm sure they did not want

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,479
to program AW up against SummerSlam. But in any event,

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,840
we may get the machine guns. Tomorrow. We'll see what

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,200
we did get tonight. Here on the show was a

14
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:50,320
thirty five minute overrun, What are we doing? What are

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,520
we doing? Tony? Thirty five minute overrun for tonight's show,

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,039
a show that had John Moxley against Commander. Was it

17
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:05,959
really necessary to have John Moxley against Commander on a

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,159
show that went thirty five minutes overtime? I don't think so.

19
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:13,079
But in that overrun, we had a face to face

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,959
confrontation between the aw World champion Kenny Omega and his challenger,

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,280
the number one contender for the title, the heir apparent

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,400
to the throne, Will Ospray his friend or I guess

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,799
no longer friend. The thing I liked about Dynamite tonight,

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,680
and I liked more about the show than I didn't like.

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,840
But so many times coming out of these pay per views,

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,760
they're missing big names. There's a lot of thrown together matches.

27
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:43,959
It's missing something, and there were some matches that felt

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,400
thrown together tonight as well, But it just feels like

29
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:50,200
it's missing something. Maybe guys are hurt, keeps them off

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,079
the show. All the big guns were basically more or

31
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,640
less there tonight, and so it felt like a bigger

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400
deal than it normally would. We had two different segments

33
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:04,040
to actually we had three different segments tonight, promo segments

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,199
to key up the top matches for all In, which

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,680
is still several weeks away, about a month away. Cope

36
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,479
and Christian and the Bucks sit down interview, good start.

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,280
Everything was very friendly, no real you know, I mean,

38
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:22,840
there was a little bit of tension there, but it

39
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,360
wasn't like it got out of hand or anything. I

40
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,319
thought that was good Will o' Nightingale and Mercedes Monette

41
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:32,479
best thing on the entire show. We'll talk about their

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,759
face to face. And then we had this with Omega

43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,280
and Osprey, who were in the main event of this

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,120
upcoming pay per view. I thought the promo work for

45
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,599
those key matches at all In was on point, all

46
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:51,120
except Kenny Omega. In the closing segment. There were moments

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,319
where I was like, Okay, this is all right with Kenny.

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,680
A lot of what Omega was saying to me, it

49
00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:00,240
felt very forced. When Ospbury took the microphone and he

50
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,360
sent it home with all the emotion and all the

51
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,360
energy he fired back at Omega on the mic. That

52
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,000
was much better than I felt like what we got

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800
from Kenny. And I've said before Kenny Omega, I don't

54
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,240
look at Kenny Omega as like a great promo. That's

55
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,199
not what Kenny Omega is known for. Kenny Omega is

56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,520
called the best bout machine, a wrestling god, all of

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,479
these nicknames that he's acquired over the years. Best promo

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,240
is not one of them. I've said this before. Tonight

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
was a good example of that. I thought he got

60
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:38,319
outshined by Osprey in that department. But what we have

61
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:42,759
now between the two of them is he they were

62
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:44,960
talking about how they love and respect each other. That's

63
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,840
still there, But now we have two men who came

64
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:51,199
off tonight as being angry at each other, and they

65
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,560
let each other know how they feel coming out of

66
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,280
what we saw at the end of that main event

67
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,560
on Sunday at Redemption with the plastic bag, and they

68
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,879
were going to try to break Omega's and Osprey and

69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,319
I mean, if you saw the pay per view, you

70
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:06,120
saw how everything went down. Now, I wonder what these

71
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:08,199
next four weeks are gonna look like, in turn or

72
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280
five weeks in terms of what they're going to do

73
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,360
to keep things interesting between these two. I don't know.

74
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:17,720
But for tonight, I was just glad they were on

75
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:20,120
the show. I was half expecting that we were gonna

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,600
have a a half empty roster tonight. I'm just glad

77
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,319
the key players were in the building. Willow and Mercedes

78
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,720
and Omega and Osprey and Moxley. Right Hangman, Oh my god,

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Hangman Page, who made his return on Collision a few

80
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,279
weeks ago. If you didn't watch Collision and you only

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,040
watch Dynamite, you would never even know that Hangman made

82
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,240
his return a few weeks ago. You would never even know.

83
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,199
But there he was tonight. And he can't compete for

84
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,439
the World Championship obviously, so he's gonna involve himself in

85
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,959
other things. He was involved in the Trio's title aftermath

86
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,240
tonight because we have new trios champions. It is the demand.

87
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,360
Ricochet has a belt here in aaw the Conglomeration are

88
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,120
no longer champions, and Hangman Page came out to make

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,959
the safe for the Conglomeration. He's got plenty of other

90
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,279
championships that he could be competing for. I guess we'll

91
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,839
find out where he lands. But even he was on

92
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:26,519
the show today, so I like that promo work was good.

93
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:32,480
All the key players were there, androde Maya World both

94
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,879
had their first title defenses coming off their wins at Redemption,

95
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,879
and John Moxley, as I mentioned before, he wrestled Commander

96
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,319
on this show for the Continental title. Moxley in a

97
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,639
promo segment later on though out in the parking lot,

98
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,079
he was going on and on. He was talking about this,

99
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,560
that and the other, and he just kind of threw

100
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,399
it out there, the mention of this continental Cup. It

101
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:02,920
was like, in passing almost he mentioned that there's gonna

102
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,680
be a Continental Cup. I guess to decide on the

103
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:09,680
person who will be challenging him for the Continental Championship

104
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:15,399
at all in and I'm like, come again, the Continental

105
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:18,800
what no context to it or anything like it was

106
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,120
never mentioned. I'm like, where did this come from? What

107
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,160
is this Continental Cup you speak? I know we have

108
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,120
a Continental Classic at the end of the year. What

109
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,680
is this Continental Cup that you speak of? It sounds

110
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,879
like they're gonna do a tournament. I guess to decide

111
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,120
a number one contender for the Continental Championship. And the

112
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,279
whole thing, to me is just completely ridiculous because every

113
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,959
single week practically, maybe not every week, but it feels

114
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,920
like it. John Moxley is on television defending the Continental

115
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,879
Championship against totally random people. He defended it tonight against Commander,

116
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,600
who was one of six men who did not win. Oh,

117
00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:57,279
he was one of six men. One of them won,

118
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,879
one of five men who did not win in the

119
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,759
ladder match on Sunday to crown a challenger future challenger

120
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,560
for the International title. And so I guess he was

121
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,160
gifted a Continental title match tonight Commander Shane Taylor Bandido.

122
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,000
How are these people being decided on as challengers? But

123
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,600
now we have a Continental Cup. I guess it's special

124
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:20,800
because it's Wembley and so we're gonna have a tournament.

125
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,959
But I just was like, the way he threw it

126
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,240
out there was so random and it was so like

127
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,319
just off the cuff. I was like, can they at

128
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:32,759
least explain how this is gonna work. Maybe we'll have

129
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,360
to wait until Collision tomorrow night. At least we know

130
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:38,879
we're not getting another random challenger. I guess at all

131
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:43,079
in there'll be some there'll be some semblance of like, Okay,

132
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,279
here's how we're actually going to decide this. And as

133
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:48,639
far as who possibly is going to be, my first

134
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,399
guess would be Hangman. But it's way too early to

135
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,079
know because we don't even know what the fuck the

136
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,240
Continental Cup is. Do you win a cup, maybe you

137
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,720
don't even get a title match, maybe you get a

138
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,079
fucking I don't know, here, here's a cup. You want

139
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,279
to win a cup? I don't know. Hangman can't challenge

140
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:10,519
for the World Championship. Nobody said he couldn't challenge for

141
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,000
the Continental title. We already had Hangman and Moxley all

142
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:17,319
in last year. I don't really have an appetite to

143
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:18,839
see it again this year, but that was the first

144
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,600
name that popped into my head. I guess we'll have

145
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,240
to wait and find out. But on the whole, I

146
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:27,360
did enjoy the show. There were parts of the show

147
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:30,959
I didn't enjoy as much, but to me, it was

148
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,399
an improvement over some of the recent episodes of Dynamite

149
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,519
and some of the other television shows. Frankly that I've

150
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:38,879
been seeing. We'll talk about everything that happened here. I

151
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:40,879
will say you know who the MVP was of this show.

152
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,799
The MVP of the show was not Kenny Omega, was

153
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,720
not Will Osprey. It was not any of the people

154
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:47,519
that you saw on the ring tonight. The MVP of

155
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,919
the show was the crowd. It was the crowd in Detroit.

156
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,919
I salute you, hot crowd, great crowd tonight for Dynamoe.

157
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,759
When the energy is up, it's a different vibe, whether

158
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,279
it's a big arena, whether it's a smaller venue like

159
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,720
this one, or are they the Masonic Temple I believe is

160
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:11,679
where they were tonight. Great crap. This is your aw

161
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,320
Dynamite review. It is Wednesday, July twenty ninth, I guess

162
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,600
the final one here for the month of July twenty

163
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,799
twenty six. I am the solemn monster like and subscribe.

164
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,440
We just passed ninety three thousand subscribers on the channel,

165
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,600
so I thank you. I also have to say thank

166
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:34,200
you to nineteen seventy two Bones sixty sixty six who

167
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,240
gifted five channel memberships. I see a sea of green

168
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,960

188
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,879
be the booker may have to wait until SmackDown on

189
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,519
Friday night. Six hundred for a dynamite stream is asking

190
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,519
a lot. We're not even We're not even halfway there.

191
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,279
But if we look, miracles have happened. So go ahead

192
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,399
and hit that thumbs up. It does help get the

193
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,039
review in the algorithm here on YouTube. It's not just

194
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,159
for show and tell. It does help out the video.

195
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,159
Get into the beginning of the show. Here a Snorkel

196
00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:43,639
Snorkel gear pop, how bout it? How about it? There

197
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:52,159
he is Barry brand new fourteen dollars super check. Hey DJ,

198
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:59,639
welcome to the channel. Welcome brother. So we had a

199
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,639
video at the beginning of the show focusing on everything

200
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,159
that happened at the end of the pay per view

201
00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:09,279
on Sunday, after Kenny Omega beat Kevin Knight to retain

202
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,639
the championship. But the whole angle day shot at the

203
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,480
end of Redemption where the Death Riders tried to kill

204
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,200
Kenny Omega. Will Osbury came out to make the save

205
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,279
and he ended up leaving the Death Riders and then Omega.

206
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,639
He got up, he dropped Osprey with a one winged

207
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,879
angel and so now here we are. They showed other

208
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:32,799
footage of John Moxley backstage with the Death Riders. They

209
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:36,679
kind of spliced it into the highlights and he said,

210
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,519
what did that take three minutes? Said He's been trying

211
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,399
to tell Osprey for months now that Omega is not

212
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:49,240
his friend. He's trying to eradicate Omega. He wanted Osprey

213
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:52,080
to see that for himself. But it's not over yet.

214
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,720
Now will Osbury might be the best wrestler in the

215
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,279
world with nothing to lose. Now he is truly on

216
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:04,679
death ground. Osprey was interviewed live outside the building by

217
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,080
Missus Moxley. This will never not be funny to me,

218
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360
by the way, when you have a serious angle like

219
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:13,360
this and John Moxley is at the center of it,

220
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,919
and in this case, John Moxley attempted to murder someone

221
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,759
he was going to suffocate. He was going to smother

222
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,159
Kenny Omega after breaking his neck by the way on Sunday,

223
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,320
And so everything is centered around this and the Death Riders,

224
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,279
and then we go live to Renee Piquet as if

225
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,799
everything is okay. She's a totally independent party in all this.

226
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:40,679
So Renee is in the back and she is attempting

227
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,960
to interview Will Osprey who is walking into the building.

228
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,080
He has a look on his face like he is

229
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,320
a man with a purpose. He looks very angry, very focused.

230
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:56,279
But he runs into the Death Riders and Daniel Garcia

231
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,960
tried to get in his face. He caught an elbow

232
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:03,919
to the mouth. Moxley calmed the situation down. He asked Osprey,

233
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,679
are you sure you want to do this. Ospbury told him,

234
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,879
you don't get to pull the trigger for me, and

235
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:16,559
he handed the Death Riders back their official patch. He

236
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,960
gave the patch back, remember the patch that they gave

237
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:22,879
him a few weeks ago to officially become a member

238
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,799
of the Death Rids. He handed it back and he

239
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:33,679
said I'm out. So they clear a path for him

240
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:37,039
to walk, and as he's walking towards the building, who

241
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,440
is walking out of the building, but Hangman Adam Page

242
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,039
his first appearance on Dynamite since March, but it appears

243
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,879
that he is wheeling his luggage out of the building,

244
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,039
which begs the question, I mean, the show just started,

245
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,519
where the fuck is he going? How early did he

246
00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:58,679
get to the building and what exactly was he doing

247
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,720
before the show? Was he there to meet Tony Kahn?

248
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,399
Was was he there to do other things? Maybe a

249
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,120
photo shoot? I don't know, but it appeared to me

250
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:09,360
that he was leaving and the show had only just begun.

251
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,399
So they bump into each other. He offered Osprey help

252
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,159
if he needed it. Ospbrey said, look, I appreciate that,

253
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:20,159
but I can't trust Kenny Omega, and if I can't

254
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:25,879
trust Kenny Omega, I can't trust you. And Hangman said,

255
00:15:25,919 --> 00:15:29,240
I understand, and he knows when Osprey gets to Wembley,

256
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840
he'll be the best he's ever been. He told him

257
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:34,960
he hopes that he believes in himself. And I just thought, well,

258
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,720
that was awfully random. But it's a little unsettling, I

259
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:42,840
will say, seeing Hangman so jolly, I mean, considering the

260
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:45,039
last time we saw him, he looked like an absolute

261
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,679
fucking maniac. And now he's walking around. He's talking about,

262
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,679
you know, his garden, and he's got a big smile

263
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:53,679
on his face, and he's kind of joking around with

264
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:56,720
Osprey and he's got a you know, words of encouragement

265
00:15:56,799 --> 00:15:59,039
for him. I'm like, what has he been in therapy?

266
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,200
I mean, what is this man doing in his time off?

267
00:16:01,799 --> 00:16:05,519
He has found his inner chi He is a man

268
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:10,120
at peace with himself. I missed the old Hangman. Where's

269
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:12,759
he at? Where swerve strickling that? By the way, Where

270
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:16,559
the fuck has he been? We got four weeks until

271
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:22,440
Wembley Stadium? Is he gonna be on that show? But

272
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:24,759
you know what, I have a theory about this. It

273
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,440
kind of makes sense that Hangman would be very chipper,

274
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,399
and he would have a smile on his face, and

275
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:32,200
he would be in a much better mood because he

276
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,559
no longer has the stress on his shoulders of having

277
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:38,519
to challenge for the world championship. Right a giant weight

278
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:41,559
has been lifted off his shoulders. He can't challenge for

279
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,000
the title again. So it's like, well, that's one thing

280
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:48,879
I don't have to worry about anymore. I could just

281
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,559
I could just live my life and I can garden

282
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,600
and I can just pick another title because there's so

283
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:56,639
many of them to choose frohim that he could wrestle

284
00:16:56,679 --> 00:16:59,000
for See, this is the best thing that ever happens

285
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,840
to this guy. So now we get into the actual show.

286
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:05,960
It opened with a three way match for the eight

287
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,680
W National Championship, but we had the brand new national champion,

288
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:15,039
androde l Idelo defending his title against jungle Jack Perry

289
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,440
and Nick Wayne. Perry and Wayne were two of the

290
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,559
six men involved in the opening ladder match on Sunday

291
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,640
to challenge for a shot at the international title. They

292
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,680
both lost right Speedball won that match, so I guess

293
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,319
this was their consolation price. We can't get a shot

294
00:17:31,319 --> 00:17:34,319
at the international title, we can get a shot at

295
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:38,319
the national title. That's the beauty of having a national

296
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,720
title and an international title. We'll just challenge for the

297
00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:43,640
other one if we fuck up and we can't challenge

298
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,319
for the other. Sure, So Perry took Androti off the

299
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:49,359
aprin at one point to the floor with a hurricane.

300
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,759
Rana and Nick Wayne then surprised Perry with a destroyer

301
00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:56,640
from the ring out to the floor, which was pretty nutty.

302
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,759
So things were moving at a very I think I'm

303
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:01,839
being generous when I say things were moving at a

304
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,519
very brisk pace here in this match. Perry landed three

305
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,839
consecutive suicide dives and a moon salt from the top

306
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,920
onto both men outside, and honestly, like, as I'm watching

307
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,079
him here in this match, this is the I guess,

308
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,680
the hottest hease he's ever come off here on the

309
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,279
show in terms of like the crowd energy. The crowd

310
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,599
was super into him and he was flying around all

311
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,599
over the place. I mean again, the crowd was very

312
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,519
hot for most of the show anyway. But he brought

313
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,720
Nick Wayne back inside. He had a sit out power

314
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:35,160
bomb for a near fall, Androte came back. He sent

315
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,279
Perry out to the floor. Then he went for a

316
00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:40,519
top rope splash. Nick Wayne, though got the knees up.

317
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,079
Wayne landed a phoenix splash. Perry, though, broke up the

318
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,200
fall that followed, Androte then hit a back elbow on

319
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:50,680
Jack Perry and then the DM on Nick Wayne for

320
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:54,920
the win. No surprise. I mean, the man literally just

321
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,279
won the championship on Sunday. This was more just sort of, hey,

322
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,119
let's just throw these guys out there to have a

323
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,559
banger match to open the show, and to that end,

324
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,319
the crowd was into it. So right out of that

325
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,279
crazy ladder match on Sunday, you have these two guys

326
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:15,599
going out here on this show nearly killing themselves again

327
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,039
for the second time in forty eight hours or I

328
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:24,160
guess seventy two seventy two hours hot opener again. Crowd

329
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,240
was pretty much into everything all three of them were doing.

330
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,960
And I will say Androtti in particular, super over right

331
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,319
now kind of makes me sad he's holding the national

332
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,359
title because the national title hasn't been well enough established

333
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,799
for me to sit here and say that, it really

334
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,440
means a whole lot that he's holding it. You know,

335
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:47,960
for Mark Davis to go out there and hold the

336
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:51,720
national title, Mark Davis didn't hold any singles gold. I

337
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,680
don't think he had any gold in this company. So

338
00:19:54,759 --> 00:19:57,200
for him to get a push of the national champion

339
00:19:57,319 --> 00:20:00,440
for him, that's meaningful. Androtti feels like he's above this,

340
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,640
especially because for months this man went on television and said,

341
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:07,799
I want the world title. Every time MJF was on

342
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,799
the show, I want the world title, Don don I

343
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:14,519
want the world title, and Don Callous would tell him

344
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:17,880
Tronquillo Tronquillo. You'll get your shots, just just be patient.

345
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,359
And now it just he shifted over where he's okay

346
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,160
with winning other championships other than the world title. It's

347
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,319
a very abrupt change to what I thought his mission

348
00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:32,759
statement was. But in any event, so when the mattress over,

349
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:35,079
Tony Shavani gets in the ring and he asks androde

350
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,960
you know how he feels, and he said tranquilo because

351
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,000
he had screwed MJF. And he brandished the dynamite diamond

352
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:47,680
ring that he stole from him. He still has it,

353
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,759
which which tells you who MJF is going to be

354
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:52,519
gunning for. By the way, the next time we see

355
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:58,000
him back on TV, so he's feeling very tranquilo. He

356
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:01,480
screwed MJF. He screwed Don calo Us by taking the

357
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:04,319
national championship. He said he could fight anybody, but he

358
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,720
wanted the best, or to be the best national champion

359
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:10,680
that there's ever been. There haven't been very many national

360
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:13,559
champions to begin with, so that shouldn't be too difficult.

361
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,160
Tony Schavanni, this was the funniest moment on the entire show.

362
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:25,119
Tony Schevanni then informs Andrade that there is going to

363
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,400
be a casino gauntlett, which I think we all knew,

364
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,720
but there was going to be a casino gauntlet match

365
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:35,000
at all In, with the winner earning themselves a guaranteed

366
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:41,480
shot at the aw World Championship, and next week in

367
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:53,079
Andrade's hometown of Mexico. Yes, his home town of Mexico.

368
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,640
I didn't know that was the name of the town,

369
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,720
but evidently it is. According to Tony Shavanni, there would

370
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,000
be a qualifying match to determine who will enter the

371
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:05,279
gauntlet in the number one spot, which is, of course,

372
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,799
is a very desirable spot because these gauntlets only go

373
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,359
until the first fall. It's one fall to a finish.

374
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:14,359
So if Andrade is number one, he could beat number

375
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,319
two in the first sixty seconds of the match and

376
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,880
that's it. We're done. So you want to be number one,

377
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,720
you want to be number two. So they're going to

378
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:25,519
have a qualifying match. I guess at Arena Mexico next week,

379
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:28,680
and he says, is that something that you would like?

380
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,279
Androte then tells him I only have one question, and

381
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:39,160
before he could ask the obvious question, the entire crowd

382
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,359
is chanting, how you know? How you know? And indeed

383
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,720
Androte asked the question, how you know in everybody Pie,

384
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:50,640
he's got a big smile on his face. He looks

385
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,400
like he's having a blast out there. He's having a

386
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,279
great run. I mean, there's really nothing else to say

387
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:58,480
about it. He's having a great run. The fans are responding,

388
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,160
he's having great matches. He seems to be genuinely enjoying himself.

389
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,039
He's being featured consistently every single week. You couldn't say

390
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:10,559
that about him the first time. I didn't know from

391
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,720
one week to the next what the hell was going

392
00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:14,759
on with him the first time he was in the company.

393
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:17,960
I think at one point Matt Hardy, did Matt Hardy

394
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,559
buy his group or what was the affiliation with Androd's

395
00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:25,480
LFI and Matt hart I don't fucking know. That first

396
00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:28,279
run was just a complete mess, and it's no wonder

397
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:31,440
he wanted out. But this is a complete one eighty

398
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:34,640
and what he's doing right now is working. So when

399
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,160
you have something that's working, just keep doing it, Just

400
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,960
keep doing it, and who knows, maybe one day he

401
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,400
will win the world championship. But that's far down the

402
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,160
road as far as Andrat and the casino Gauntlet. He's

403
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,519
got to be an early favorite. I'm not saying he's

404
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,079
my pick to win. I don't know who else is

405
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,480
even gonna be teased for this match, But could Andrade

406
00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:00,279
potentially be a winner? Sure? Sure, it's not like they

407
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,799
have announced that so and so is going to be

408
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,519
in the Gauntlet and you look at him and go, oh,

409
00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,519
this guy's got no fucking chance of winning. He definitely

410
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:11,960
has a chance. They've established he wants to go after

411
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,279
the world title. This would be the easiest pathway for him.

412
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,920
Someone said, that's an awfully big town. I hear the

413
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:28,039
town of Mexico is quite big. I don't have the

414
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:37,799
exact population figure hometown of Mexico. Renee was in the

415
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:40,400
back with Don Callous and the family. She said the

416
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,839
family has lost some matches lately. Kyle Fletcher says that

417
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,119
he doesn't know what she's talking about because, unlike someone else,

418
00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:51,920
and Kevin Knight was right there he won his title

419
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,440
match of redemption. Callous says he hopes Kevin Knight learned

420
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,039
a valuable lesson when it comes to him not needing

421
00:24:58,079 --> 00:25:01,519
the family's help, and Knight says, look, it sucks that

422
00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:03,759
you know he lost but he went toe to toe

423
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:05,640
with one of the best in the sport, and it

424
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,400
won't be the last time they see him in the

425
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,039
main event. So he's taunting Fletcher by telling him he

426
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:14,200
goes you know, he's tied, you know, one and one

427
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:18,640
with Speedball Fletcher is And next week he sure hopes

428
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,319
that Fletcher retains his international title because it's going to

429
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,640
be Kyle Fletcher defending against Speedball Mike Bailey at Arena

430
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,599
Mexico next week. Because Grand Slam is next Wednesday, Clint

431
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,079
says Grand Slam Mexico will be fourteen thousand. Is that

432
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,759
the attendance. I haven't actually seen any attendance figures now

433
00:25:35,759 --> 00:25:38,839
that I think about it, for the Arena Mexico show

434
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:43,680
next week. Are they up to fourteen thousand? Where are

435
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,960
you seeing that? I haven't seen anything on Wrestle Tics.

436
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,200
That was one of the most fun shows that they

437
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,119
did last year, and the heat in the building was

438
00:25:57,519 --> 00:25:58,799
off the track. I think that was the night that

439
00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:03,240
Hangman came out and cut that promo in Spanish. If

440
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,000
the atmosphere is anything like that next week, and I'm

441
00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:08,160
sure it will be, that show is gonna be a

442
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,720
lot of fun. But I haven't seen the actual attendance figure.

443
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,640
So Kyle says, look, I'm not afraid of speedball, and

444
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,680
the international title will always stay in the family. And

445
00:26:20,839 --> 00:26:24,000
as he says that, kazuchka Okata, he walks in from behind,

446
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:27,839
big smile on his face, and he tells Kevin Knight,

447
00:26:28,079 --> 00:26:31,839
Kyle's right, the international title is going to be staying

448
00:26:31,839 --> 00:26:35,079
with the family, and he walks away, and Kyle shot

449
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,839
him a look, kind of a confused look, but also

450
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,720
not a very happy look. And that is what they

451
00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:46,680
call foreshadowing. It is foreshadowing for the inevitable three way

452
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,480
that we are going to get in London. We have

453
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:54,160
the don Kallis family, Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage and Jake

454
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,119
Doyle taking on Speedball, Mike Bailey, Brody King and Bandido

455
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:04,039
in a six man tag. All right, So Pseudo says,

456
00:27:05,799 --> 00:27:09,880
fifty six hundred, that's a that's a far cry from

457
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,119
fourteen thousand. That's why I was questioning that number. Fifty

458
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,519
six hundred plus general audience. Yeah, I mean, it'll be

459
00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:21,640
more than fifty six hundred by the time next week

460
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:24,559
rolls around, but I don't know it's gonna be fourteen thousand.

461
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:29,200
I don't know about that. What did they have last year?

462
00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:35,319
Somebody look it up. Go to a Grand Slam Mexico

463
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:41,240
twenty twenty five wiki see if it has an attendance listed. Anyway, here,

464
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:44,359
Bandido was isolated through a commercial break before finally he

465
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,839
tagged in Brody King Brian Cage. He spun out of

466
00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:51,039
a gonzo bomb attempt. King though through a hard lariat.

467
00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:54,359
We had a double down Doyle and Bandido. They were

468
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,640
legal and Bandido he lifted the big guy up for

469
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,920
a press slam. He followed up with a splash. Doyle, though,

470
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:03,480
rolled through on the splash and then dropped him with

471
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,160
a hard body slam. So later on Doyle he was

472
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,119
setting up for He was setting up Bandido in the

473
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,680
corner for a pile drive. I don't know why he

474
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,119
was so close to the corner, but he's basically in

475
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,119
the corner with him, and he's setting him up for

476
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,119
a pile driver. He did not see Speedball, who was

477
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,440
on the apron right there, reach in and tag Bandido,

478
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:25,839
so he got the blind tag. He climbs up top

479
00:28:26,519 --> 00:28:29,640
and he comes down with the ultimate weapon, the double

480
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,079
knees right to the small of the back of Jake Doyle,

481
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,039
and he followed up with a sunset flip with the

482
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,400
arms trapped and he got the pin because that's Jake

483
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,400
Doyle's role in the don Kallis family is to eat

484
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,400
the pin, and so he did and the baby faces

485
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,319
pick up the wing. Kyle Fletcher, he tried to make

486
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:49,200
the save at the last minute. He didn't make it

487
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,519
in time, and he was not very happy about that.

488
00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:55,119
So this was not as good as the opener. Solid

489
00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:58,640
stuff though, Still, I hope here's my hope when it

490
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,799
comes to Bandido. Here's my my hope is that we

491
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:06,400
get to see more of him with Brody King. Let's

492
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,759
see more of Brodido, you know, in the tag team division,

493
00:29:09,799 --> 00:29:13,960
because I am I'm sick and tired of Bandido being

494
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,720
put in these big matches and just being fed to people. Right,

495
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:20,960
it's always fun to watch him, and honestly, I could

496
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,640
sit here and talk about, well, he's the Ring of

497
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,799
Honor World champion, and so why would you put him

498
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:28,720
in these matches where he's constantly losing. Nobody gives a

499
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,640
fuck about the Ring of Honor world title, not least

500
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,160
of which is Tony Khan. Because if Tony Khan gave

501
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,359
a fuck about the Ring of Honor World title. He

502
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,880
would not be beating the Ring of Honor World Champion constantly.

503
00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:42,680
So rather than see him just be fed to people

504
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,960
in these big matches and inevitably lose like he did

505
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,359
to Moxley, you know, like he did this past week,

506
00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:52,279
let's see these two back together, because Brodido was a

507
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:55,200
fun team. Brodido was one of those revelations from last

508
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:58,680
year where they put these two guys together. It's a

509
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,000
tag team that you would never expect and they just

510
00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:04,440
gelled so well, right because they're friends, they have chemistry together,

511
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,960
They're a great tag team. And they got some new

512
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,759
tag teams probably on their way in. There's going to

513
00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:14,640
be another tag team renaissance. It feels like here in

514
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,799
aw very soon. Feels like we're kind of there now,

515
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,640
but even more so as new teams are brought in.

516
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:24,119
I'd like to see him doing more of that, especially

517
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:28,319
if Tony doesn't have anything better for him to do Speedball.

518
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:31,160
Winning here though, made sense, gives him the momentum now

519
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,759
going into a title match next week against Fletcher. Speaking

520
00:30:35,839 --> 00:30:38,799
of the tag teams, we had our first bit of

521
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,119
hype for one of the key matches on the All

522
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,240
in London card. A pre recorded sit down interview between

523
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,000
the two teams that are going to be wrestling for

524
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:54,000
the AW Tag Team Championship, Coping, Christian and the Challengers

525
00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:57,559
The Young Bucks. Renee says that the term dream match

526
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,720
is thrown around all the time. This is the top

527
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,880
of that mountain. Nick Jackson says that he's a little

528
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,440
bit nervous about this. He can now make plans for

529
00:31:07,839 --> 00:31:10,880
England for his family. They're both going to bring their families,

530
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,839
their kids. They're all going to make a big vacation

531
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,319
out of it. He says. They appreciate what Cage and

532
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,920
Cope have done for tag team wrestling. Copland says, look,

533
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,079
don't sell yourself short, because you guys revolutionize tag team wrestling.

534
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,039
If you don't say it, we will. Copland says that

535
00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:30,799
this match proves that tag team wrestling is back to

536
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,839
the forefront, whereas in other places it has been pushed

537
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,319
into the back burner or pushed to the back burner.

538
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Can I get an amen? Ain't that the truth? No

539
00:31:43,359 --> 00:31:48,680
lies detected? In that statement? Christian interrupted. He said that

540
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,599
they didn't come back to have a retirement tour. They

541
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:53,440
set out to prove that they were the best team

542
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,119
of any generation. Matt Jackson piped up. He said that

543
00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:00,279
they've been clawing their way back from rock bottom. They

544
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:03,319
need to cement their legacy and win those titles for

545
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,359
a fourth time. Copeland pointed out that between the two

546
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,279
of them, him and Christian, they lost seventeen years of

547
00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:15,720
their careers to injuries. It's been twenty five years before

548
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:21,000
this since they were tag team champions together. That's a

549
00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:25,119
quarter of a century. Matt said, Look, they're going to

550
00:32:25,119 --> 00:32:28,119
be more aggressive than they've ever been before. It's not

551
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,000
going to be like Kobe Bryant at the end of

552
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:33,680
his career putting up sixty points. They would be lucky

553
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,240
to get on the board. Christian said it would be

554
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:39,000
different than they thought when the lights were bright and

555
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:42,039
they were across the ring from their heroes. Are they

556
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:43,920
going to be able to elevate their game like they

557
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,079
always do so? Rene asks why would this mean so

558
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,680
much to Cope and Cage and Copeland said, Look, despite

559
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,519
everything they've done, there's still this doubt. Matt Jackson said,

560
00:32:56,519 --> 00:32:58,960
there's always a chip on their shoulder, always told they

561
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,759
were too small. You don't have the machine behind them,

562
00:33:01,799 --> 00:33:06,960
you're this, you're that too many super kicks, which is true.

563
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,759
Cope and Cage might be bigger, but they're the young

564
00:33:09,839 --> 00:33:13,960
Bucks and they wound down the promo. It was all

565
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,200
very straightforward here. Both teams had a chance to say

566
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,920
their piece. Things didn't get too testy between them. But

567
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,279
this is the first, right, this is the first real

568
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,359
promo between these two teams. They've got four or five

569
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,599
weeks whatever it is now between now and all in.

570
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:33,960
I still think there's a chance they're going to add

571
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,920
at least one more team to this match. I don't

572
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,920
think they need to. Like this is the match first

573
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,039
time ever Cope and Christian and the Bucks. I would

574
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:46,200
keep it as is, but I'm just saying I would

575
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,319
not be surprised if Tony wanted to add another one

576
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,319
or two teams to this match, and there's still several

577
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:56,880
weeks to do that. We had the new TBS champion

578
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,880
in maya World her first title defense against the CEA

579
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:04,839
MLL Women's Champion, Persephone, who I would have liked to

580
00:34:04,839 --> 00:34:07,119
have seen win that Survival of the Fittest match at

581
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,119
the beginning of the month to win the title. Either

582
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:12,960
her or Queen a Mi Nada. They went with Hikarashida.

583
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,199
She'da lost her championship to Maya World on Sunday. A

584
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:21,119
lot of people didn't seem to really like the match.

585
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,039
I'm not going to sit here and lie to you

586
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:24,679
and tell you it was a great match or even

587
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:28,079
a very good match, because it wasn't. Something about Shida

588
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,559
that's off. She's not the same as she was before.

589
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:37,400
She came back, slower, more tentative. The match itself, though,

590
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,480
I didn't think was as bad as some people made

591
00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:41,760
it out to be. And the thing that I was

592
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,760
happy with the most is that Tony Kahan didn't just

593
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,239
put Maya World, you know, back down the card or

594
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,159
on the back burner, or relegate her to ring of honor.

595
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,760
She's being featured on the shows and now she has

596
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,400
a championship and she's being featured in a prominent way.

597
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,119
Right she's on Dynamite. There are people who are on

598
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:03,920
that roster who would kill to be on Dynamite because

599
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,480
they never are. So she's in a good spot. Hopefully

600
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,840
that will continue. And so now we have her defending

601
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,239
against Persephone. When I saw that this match was announced,

602
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:22,760
I was like he wouldn't do it, would he? Like,

603
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,800
they're in Mexico next week. Persephonie is the CMLL Women's

604
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,280
World Champion. Why is he doing this match on this show?

605
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:34,920
Is he going to take the title away from from

606
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,639
Maya this quickly? Like? I don't know that. I honestly

607
00:35:38,679 --> 00:35:40,719
thought he would, but I in the back of my mind,

608
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,639
I was like, I wonder if I wonder if her

609
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:46,639
reign is going to be cut short. Thankfully that was

610
00:35:46,679 --> 00:35:49,599
not the case. Persephone is someone who also I would

611
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:52,480
not be I would not be beating her too often.

612
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,880
I don't want to see him make a habit out

613
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,679
of this. I'm a big fan of her work, and

614
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,920
I think she's very good, not just in the ring,

615
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:03,119
but even on promos. She's got an intensity about her

616
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:06,199
that not everybody has, so I'd like to see her

617
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,039
feature more prominently. Honestly, it's just funny to me. You know,

618
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:13,880
she's the world champion in CMLL, and if the shoe

619
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,559
was on the other foot, there's no way Tony Kahm

620
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:19,000
would have his champion losing, you know, just almost like

621
00:36:20,159 --> 00:36:22,960
it's just such a casual thing too, wasn't even like

622
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,559
that big of a deal, But I don't think if

623
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:29,719
the shoe was on the other foot that you would

624
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,559
be seeing this. But here we go. We have these

625
00:36:32,559 --> 00:36:34,679
two in the ring together. Persephone locks on a half

626
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,639
crab and then an ankle lock. Maya got a rope brake,

627
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,280
so the challenger fought out of the bridging fallaway slam

628
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,159
into one of her own sent Maya outside, where she

629
00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:48,880
met her with a topey. Maya avoided a power bomb

630
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,960
counter that into a tornado DDT, after which they headed

631
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,800
back to the ring. Persephone had a rain maker variation

632
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,679
that turned Maya inside out and then a German Maya

633
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,280
kicked out. Persephone freaked out on Aubrey Edwards. She's also

634
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,440
very animated, like in the course of a match. When

635
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,559
she gets very frustrated, she gets very animated. She gets

636
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:18,599
very like, very expressive, so she was not happy. Hakarushita

637
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,280
ran now with her Kendo stick, never leaves home without it.

638
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,320
She tossed the Kendo stick to Persephone, and then she

639
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,519
was distracting Aubrey before Persephone could swing the stick, though

640
00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:34,000
Chris Statlander magically appeared at ringside on the apron. She

641
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,400
grabbed the stick away from her and then as Persephone

642
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,239
turned back around. She turned into the same bridging fallaway

643
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,239
slam that Maya used to win the world title on Sunday,

644
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,159
and she retained the championship. And then after the match,

645
00:37:48,159 --> 00:37:53,199
Statlander raised Maya's hand. Persephone was sitting on the floor outside.

646
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,760
She was absolutely livid. And if you remember what happened

647
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,719
at the end of that Survival of the Fittest match,

648
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:03,039
it looked like they were setting up something with Persephone

649
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:06,719
and Statlander. Here we are now, all these weeks later,

650
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,960
and hopefully now they're finally getting around to really juicing

651
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,039
this thing up here. So based on what they did

652
00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:16,280
here at the finish, I would imagine Persephone is not

653
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,559
going to be too happy about for Statlander getting involved

654
00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:21,920
in her business. Feels like this is setting up a

655
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,559
tag team match. Did they announce anything, Maybe they put

656
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:26,400
a graphic up for it. If they didn't, I'm sure

657
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,159
we're going to get it at some point. Sheidah and

658
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:33,400
Persephone against Maya and Statlander. It just seems inevitable unless

659
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,000
they've already announced it for Collision tomorrow. I don't know

660
00:38:37,039 --> 00:38:40,519
if they have or not, but I could have done

661
00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:43,079
without the interference at the end. If it was done

662
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:46,639
to set up a tag team match. Then fine, I'm

663
00:38:46,639 --> 00:38:48,800
just saying I could have done without it. But yeah,

664
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,039
I wasn't convinced that he wasn't going to take the

665
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:54,719
title off Maya. I don't know I saw that. I'm like, hmm,

666
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,360
if he was going to put the belt on Persephone,

667
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:05,159
then he would have done it on July first. Maybe

668
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:10,880
a tag match in Mexico could be that would make sense.

669
00:39:12,039 --> 00:39:14,679
If they have not announced anything for Collision tomorrow with them,

670
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:19,239
then that might be the match. Next week, we had

671
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,119
the former national champion Mark Davis. I was actually very

672
00:39:22,119 --> 00:39:24,280
happy to see him get promo time on this show

673
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,320
because my fear was coming out of his loss to

674
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,760
Androtti on Sunday. It was like to the background with you,

675
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,360
Mark Davis, You're going to be relegated into the background

676
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,280
of these don Kallis family promo segments in the back

677
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,559
and maybe they'll put him together again with Jake Doyle

678
00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:41,519
and they may still do that, but they actually gave

679
00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:44,320
him promo time. He was standing by himself, didn't even

680
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,800
have callous with him. He was in like a stairwell

681
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,159
in the back, and he said that he's ten pounds

682
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,199
lighter because he has no national title around his waist.

683
00:39:54,679 --> 00:39:57,440
That makes him furious. He needs to do something about it.

684
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,000
He said, Hey, mister number one can tend will Ospray.

685
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,360
Our record this year shows us as one in one.

686
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,159
But Osprey's win, he says, came with an asterisk next

687
00:40:08,159 --> 00:40:11,559
to it, courtesy of the Death Riders. So how about

688
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:15,559
next week at Grand Slam Mexico. He leaves Don Kallis

689
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,000
at home and the two of them step into the ring.

690
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,760
He said, he's gonna chew him up and spit him out,

691
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:26,480
broken out back at Arena Mexico. You know, their last

692
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,840
match was in the Owen. It's one of my favorite

693
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,119
TV matches of the year. Overbooked as it was. Everybody

694
00:40:33,199 --> 00:40:36,960
was running in at the end, everybody, but they had

695
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,159
this like electric atmosphere in the building. There was a

696
00:40:41,199 --> 00:40:43,400
lot of craziness there, a lot of near falls and

697
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,800
such towards the end of that match, but it was

698
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,639
a lot of fun. So you put those two in

699
00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:51,559
the ring together in the middle of a hot Arena

700
00:40:51,639 --> 00:40:55,400
Mexico next week. I don't mean just literally hot, but

701
00:40:55,519 --> 00:41:00,760
like it's gonna be loud in that building. That's gonna

702
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,360
be a good one. I'm looking forward to that. Willow

703
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:10,320
Nightingales championship celebration was up next, and this right here

704
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,639
was my favorite part of the entire show. I think

705
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:15,920
it was the best part of the entire show. Renee

706
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,760
was in the ring to introduce us to the brand

707
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,519
new AW Women's World Champion with her win over Tekla,

708
00:41:21,559 --> 00:41:24,639
who was not on the show tonight. So Willow Nightingale

709
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,440
came out to the ring and they shot streamers all

710
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:33,320
over the place for her huge ovation, huge standing ovation

711
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:38,000
for this woman here in Detroit. She was practically in tears.

712
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,639
She was getting very emotional in the ring. It's not

713
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,159
very often that someone will come out on these AW

714
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,840
shows and get this kind of response, and I don't

715
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,400
remember Willow herself even getting this kind of sustained response before.

716
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,280
They were very happy for her that she made it

717
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,519
to the top of the mountain and she's the champion now,

718
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,719
and what's not to like. She's the most likable personality

719
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,880
on the entire show. So she was kind of taken

720
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,239
aback at first by the reaction. She says, this is

721
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,840
all still very surreal. This is what people dream about.

722
00:42:11,159 --> 00:42:13,519
She's grateful that they've been with her, despite their being

723
00:42:13,639 --> 00:42:16,679
doubters along the way. People would look at her as

724
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,360
being too quirky and too chubby or weird and they

725
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,119
just wouldn't get it. But over the past year, she's

726
00:42:24,119 --> 00:42:27,639
apparently made the fans very happy. This past year, she's

727
00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:30,880
become one half of the first ever women's tag team champions,

728
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,360
beat Mercedes Monett for the TBS title. Got hurt, but

729
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,639
what pulled her out of a dark place was her mom,

730
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,320
who calls her a warrior princess and told her that

731
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,880
she could stay down or you can get up and fight.

732
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,280
She fought to get into the Casino Gauntlet. She'd beat

733
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,679
a toxic champion and Techla'll win the big one. And

734
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,159
she has a message for all of the fans out there.

735
00:42:57,679 --> 00:43:00,760
If life has kicked you around, don't you dare give up,

736
00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:04,239
keep fighting and pushing through because sometimes the comeback is

737
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,760
even better than the dream. And she held up the

738
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,639
title and everybody cheered. So she got cut off by

739
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:17,400
Mercedes Monet's music Massive Booze for Mercedes walks out with

740
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,239
a contract in her hand and she demands that Willo

741
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,360
signed the contract for all in. Willo signs it right

742
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,480
on mercedes chest and Mercedes then pie faced her, so

743
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:33,679
they got nose to nose briefly, and then Renee made

744
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,360
the announcement and said, well, it's official at all in

745
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,960
it will be Willow Nightingale defending the championship against Mercedes Monette,

746
00:43:40,559 --> 00:43:43,960
and Willo says, look, what's your problem today? Right? Someone

747
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,480
else got some attention for five seconds and took the

748
00:43:46,519 --> 00:43:49,760
attention away from you. Or is it because that you

749
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,639
remember I beat you to injure TBS title reign. She

750
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,880
thinks that it's uh. Now she has the one championship

751
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:04,320
that Mercedes can't win, and this bothers her. So Mercedes said,

752
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,119
look what she hates the most about Willow. It's not

753
00:44:07,199 --> 00:44:09,719
her smile. It's not the fact that people love her.

754
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,920
It's that Willow's name is written all over her own story.

755
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,559
And she talked about getting injured the first time they

756
00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:21,199
stepped in the ring together. She lost her TBS championship

757
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,760
to Willow, and now Willow once again stands in her way.

758
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,880
So she said that she was tired of her smiling

759
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,400
face being in her face and she would end her

760
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,800
fairy tale at all in. She took credit for making

761
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,440
her She said that she gave her the greatest moment

762
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,960
of her entire career, and she would take her title

763
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:44,079
and her smile at all it. Divine Dominion showed up

764
00:44:44,159 --> 00:44:46,800
the Women's Tag Team Champions. They showed up on the apron,

765
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,280
surrounded the ring three on one. Willow got some shots

766
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,199
in though, but I think Mercedes clipped her knee, I believe,

767
00:44:55,679 --> 00:44:57,960
and she got put down. Willow did by a double

768
00:44:58,039 --> 00:45:01,559
chokeslamp from the tag champs. Outcome the brawling Birds Jamie

769
00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:05,480
Hayter and Alex Windsor to chase off the heels, and

770
00:45:05,519 --> 00:45:07,119
that is how the segment came to an end. And

771
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:09,440
that match is not official yet, but that's going to

772
00:45:09,519 --> 00:45:12,199
be another match obviously for all in I think many

773
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,960
of us have seen this coming for at least two

774
00:45:14,079 --> 00:45:16,559
or three months now that at Wembley it was going

775
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:20,119
to be Jamie and Alex challenging for and winning the

776
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:23,519
women's tag team titles from Megan Bain and Lena Cross.

777
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,440
And that makes sense. If you're gonna do it, that

778
00:45:26,559 --> 00:45:29,280
is the place to do it. Makes all the sense

779
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,960
in the world. In the meantime, you've had you know,

780
00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:35,440
Lena and Megan going out there and destroying people. They

781
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,679
are one of the more dominant acts in the entire company.

782
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,000
And I said this on Sunday. You know, when they

783
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,239
were out there for their match, that just aesthetically when

784
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:50,360
you see them and the presentation with the you know,

785
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:52,679
they're on either side of the of the tront like

786
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,639
the big screens. During their entrance, they each say a

787
00:45:55,679 --> 00:45:58,719
word or they say a quote or whatever, and then

788
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,199
they walk out together or posing together. It's a superstar entrance.

789
00:46:03,559 --> 00:46:06,360
You know, it's a good act that the two of

790
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,920
them have. But at some point you get so dominant

791
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,000
it's like, okay, well who are you setting up to?

792
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:17,599
You know, finally take them down. There you go, that's

793
00:46:17,639 --> 00:46:21,440
your team right there, there's your match. You don't have

794
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:28,079
to add anybody else. Divine dominion, brawling birds. Make it official.

795
00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:31,760
We haven't gotten the graphic yet from Tony Kah make

796
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:37,639
it official. As far as this segment goes, Willow Nightingale

797
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,440
cut the best babyface promo that I've heard in aw

798
00:46:42,559 --> 00:46:47,320
in a very long time. She's a natural babyface, naturally likable.

799
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,519
That's why the fans, you know, root for her and

800
00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:51,880
they're happy to see her win the championship. She had

801
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,239
the advice for the fans. Don't ever give up, don't

802
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,079
ever let people kick you around, right, classic Babyface promo.

803
00:46:58,519 --> 00:47:03,119
Mercedes comes out, gets great heat. Now, this is only

804
00:47:03,159 --> 00:47:08,519
one week, it's one city. We'll see where things stand

805
00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:10,199
in a few weeks. If they put them back in

806
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,760
the ring. You know, was the heat still there for Mercedes?

807
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,519
Are they going to be in the ring together in

808
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:16,960
some capacity in Mexico next week? Are they going to

809
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,880
be on the show next week, you know, at Arena Mexico.

810
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,960
It may differ from you know, city to city, but

811
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:29,320
this was, in my opinion, the perfect crowd for this

812
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,760
type of segment because you want people to be making noise.

813
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:35,599
The match just comes off as so much of a

814
00:47:35,639 --> 00:47:39,239
bigger deal, like they're invested in it. You have a

815
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,800
genuinely likable Babyface. They don't want to see her lose.

816
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,280
They don't want to see her be a transitional champion.

817
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,880
To them, the worst thing would be she just won

818
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,000
the belt and you're gonna take it from her and

819
00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:54,599
Mercedes is gonna get it. They don't want to see that, right,

820
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,360
So that's why I said, coming into this, some people

821
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,960
are very upset. Oh they're gonna beat Tekla. It's not fair.

822
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,239
Tecla belongs in that match. Tecla's done a great job

823
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,960
this year. Tecla had one hundred and sixty something days

824
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,639
as the champion. It's not like she got jobbed out

825
00:48:08,679 --> 00:48:11,599
in a month. And I hope they have another good

826
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,440
role for her at all In, you know, because she

827
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,639
deserves to be on that show. But this was the

828
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,320
correct outcome here. The match to do, the big match

829
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,199
to do, even though it's been done before, is Mercedes

830
00:48:24,199 --> 00:48:28,079
and Willow and everybody who was saying that Mercedes is horse,

831
00:48:28,159 --> 00:48:32,840
Mercedes is gonna win. I don't think so. I don't again,

832
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,079
as I sit here right now, I still feel the

833
00:48:35,079 --> 00:48:39,320
way I felt on Sunday. Don't just assume that because

834
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,800
she lost last time, or because Willow has beaten her before,

835
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,159
that she's automatically gonna win the championship. I agree with you,

836
00:48:47,199 --> 00:48:48,639
by the way, if you're one of those people who

837
00:48:48,679 --> 00:48:51,239
are like you're out of your fucking mind, everything is

838
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,039
set up to lead you to believe that Mercedes is

839
00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:57,480
going to win the title. In London, she won the

840
00:48:57,559 --> 00:48:59,800
Oeren last year, she went to All In, she fucking

841
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:04,280
loved lost five hundred and something days. Is TBS champion

842
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:11,280
or six maybe six hundred something days. Who ended it? Willow? Willow? Yes, Willow.

843
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,480
So you would think Mercedes is finally going to get

844
00:49:14,519 --> 00:49:21,360
her revenge. I'm not so sure. I'm not convinced. I

845
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,159
hope not. Willow deserves to be more than just a

846
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:29,920
transitional champion. The comeback story you told, the comeback story,

847
00:49:30,119 --> 00:49:35,159
the redemption arc of Willow Nightingale, injured, out stripped, back,

848
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,480
wins the Gauntlet, wins the big One to turn around

849
00:49:39,519 --> 00:49:43,920
and take it away from her? Why why would you

850
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:54,039
do that? I wouldn't do that. John Moxley, then Commander

851
00:49:55,159 --> 00:50:01,639
for the Continental Championship. Commander is an one as Perry

852
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,000
and Nick Wayne were earlier, who lost in the ladder

853
00:50:04,039 --> 00:50:06,760
match on Sunday, but walk right into another title match

854
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:11,960
here tonight for reasons reasons. Commander has a lot of

855
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,880
fun to watch. He never wins any like big matches

856
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,920
on these shows. We got a ten minute time call

857
00:50:19,159 --> 00:50:21,719
from Justin Roberts with Moxley in the corner. He was

858
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,400
punching and biting him. Commander, though slid out and he

859
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,719
hung Moxley over the top rope and then hit a

860
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,199
guillotine leg drop to the back of the neck. This

861
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,280
was the worst part of this entire thing. So after

862
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,880
he does the guillotine spot and they end up outside

863
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,920
on the floor, Commander rushes back into the ring right

864
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:43,880
springs back inside because he's gonna go set up for

865
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:49,000
a springboard move. Moxley follows him back into the ring,

866
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:57,800
so Moxley rolls inside, but then inexplicably, John Moxley rolls

867
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:03,280
over and get his body to Commander so he can

868
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:08,599
hit his springboard four fifty splash. And believe it or not,

869
00:51:09,079 --> 00:51:13,679
this was only the second worst four fifty splash spot

870
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,960
that I have seen on an aw show this week.

871
00:51:18,199 --> 00:51:20,000
It's still not as bad as what I saw in

872
00:51:20,039 --> 00:51:23,360
that Young Bucks match with Moxley and Osprey Redemption that

873
00:51:23,519 --> 00:51:27,880
was fucking awful with Nick Jackson just no selling a

874
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,039
four to fifty splash to go right into the next

875
00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:32,880
spot like it's nothing. But it was just the most

876
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:36,559
hilarious thing because again Moxley he followed. He slides in

877
00:51:37,639 --> 00:51:40,880
and then literally just turns over and lays there and

878
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,719
looks up at him like, Okay, I'm ready. Can I

879
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:49,400
ask like a favor? Can we at least attempt to

880
00:51:49,519 --> 00:51:54,119
make these types of spots look natural. Obviously, the spot

881
00:51:54,159 --> 00:51:56,519
was that you were gonna get be on the receiving

882
00:51:56,599 --> 00:51:59,320
end of a four to fifty splash. Okay, fine, there

883
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,760
has to be a better way to set something like

884
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,119
this upward does not look so overly fake and contrived.

885
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,800
There has to be the second time now in just

886
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,599
the last few days, that I have seen a four

887
00:52:11,559 --> 00:52:14,519
to fifty splash spot that wanted to make me just

888
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,639
fucking bang my head on this desk, like, what are

889
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,079
and this is not These are not rookies in these matches.

890
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:28,519
This is the fucking young bucks. John Moxley like, what

891
00:52:28,679 --> 00:52:35,800
are we doing? Come on, man, come on, I mean,

892
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,360
I know wrestling, I know wrestling is what wrestling is,

893
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,559
but come on, can we make it not look as fake? Please?

894
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:46,320
Can we at least try? Commander went for his rope

895
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,960
walk shooting star Press, Moxley moved, hit a curb stop

896
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,960
death rider and then sank in the rear naked choke

897
00:52:53,639 --> 00:52:57,880
and Commander tapped out. Not much else to say about it.

898
00:52:58,599 --> 00:53:03,320
Another John Moxley titled Defence out of Nowhere another win,

899
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:10,000
no real surprise We go backstage? Yeah, yes, four fifties

900
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,880
are ineffective in aw well we already knew that. I'm

901
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,079
not even talking about how ineffective they are. I'm just

902
00:53:16,119 --> 00:53:21,840
talking about either the setup of it, the reaction to it.

903
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:28,039
It's just it's comical. It's comical. McK foley was speaking comical.

904
00:53:28,119 --> 00:53:30,840
McK foley was backstage. At least he wasn't barking like

905
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:36,360
a dog and going bow wow on this show. He

906
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:40,039
was backstage with the Bang Bang Gang. There was somebody

907
00:53:40,079 --> 00:53:43,800
noticeably absent here. His name is Jay White, and I thought,

908
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:50,519
oh no, don't tell me he's already injured again. Ace

909
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:53,920
Austin said they have big problems, and actually they did

910
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,840
mention that Jay White was not there because he was

911
00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:00,599
still reeling from the end of the Chain match Redemption.

912
00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:04,960
Coulton Guns said that they've been screwed by the Dogs

913
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,559
and the Death Riders. Juice Robinson issued a challenge to

914
00:54:08,679 --> 00:54:16,840
any combination of those two groups. Not that I didn't

915
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,880
know that this was going to continue based on the

916
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,440
finish of the match on Sunday, but I'm ready to

917
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:27,360
move beyond this. Let's just get the inevitable Jay White

918
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,480
David Finley match and then we can move beyond this,

919
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,840
assuming Jay White is okay. He did almost get killed.

920
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:42,079
On Sunday, he narrowly escaped with his life. We had

921
00:54:42,079 --> 00:54:47,280
the Conglomeration defending their aw Trios titles against Ricochet and

922
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,800
the Gates of Agony. They started this match right at

923
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,559
the top of the hour and we still had a

924
00:54:54,679 --> 00:54:57,920
Kenny Omega segment yet to come. So I knew this

925
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,760
show was going long when I saw that. But it's

926
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,360
the Conglomeration and it's The Demand, and it's already ten PM,

927
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,039
so it was hard to really bring myself to care

928
00:55:08,119 --> 00:55:11,480
much about this. Cassidy tagged in late. He applied a

929
00:55:11,559 --> 00:55:16,559
ridiculous looking claw hole to Ricochet's head. The Lethal Twist

930
00:55:16,599 --> 00:55:20,880
showed up Blake Christian. He blasted Cassidy in the head

931
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:24,320
with a springboard belt shot. Ricochet then followed with the

932
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,199
Spirit gun. He got the pin to win the titles. Yes,

933
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:33,400
we have new Trios tag team champions Ricochet, Toto Leona,

934
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,679
and Bishop Kahn. So the Demand and the Lethal Twist.

935
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,920
They put the boots to the Conglomeration after until Brody

936
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,639
King ran out to the ring to make the save.

937
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:48,280
He was overwhelmed. Hangman Adam Page's music kids, and he

938
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,480
walks out and he's got a barbed wire, a chair

939
00:55:51,519 --> 00:55:55,519
wrapped in barbed wire, so the heels bailed Jay Lethal.

940
00:55:55,599 --> 00:55:58,199
He tried to sneak in and grabbed the chair and

941
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,840
he pricked himself, I guess, on the bar. So he's

942
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,000
selling his finger now. Meanwhile, Hangman goes to the Apron

943
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,920
and he sets up for the first buckshot lariot that

944
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,800
we have seen I guess since Revolution, and it was

945
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:16,440
picture perfect, unlike whenever Logan Paul attempts to do it. Thankfully,

946
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,719
I haven't seen Logan Paul even before he got hurt.

947
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,199
I haven't seen him attempt this move in a while,

948
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,599
and I think he should. He should probably leave that

949
00:56:23,639 --> 00:56:29,280
to the pros. So he drops Lethal with the buckshot,

950
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,480
and that was the end of that. We have new

951
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:37,440
Trios champions. Whatever. That's my attitude about it. I mean again,

952
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,519
I can't really bring myself to care about the trio's

953
00:56:39,559 --> 00:56:43,239
belts all that much, moving them from the conglomeration to

954
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,760
the demand. To me, it's a lateral move in the

955
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,440
grand scheme of things. It doesn't really mean much Where

956
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,840
Hangman fits into this. I don't know. Maybe they're setting

957
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:57,719
up for a Hangman ricochet match. I don't know. I

958
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,880
don't know, but again, Hangman can do whatever he wants. Man,

959
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,519
he's got plenty of titles to choose from. You want

960
00:57:03,519 --> 00:57:07,559
to go after the trio's belts, find two partners. He

961
00:57:07,639 --> 00:57:11,920
actually had two partners previously, Kevin Knight and Speedball. Remember

962
00:57:12,159 --> 00:57:16,840
they wanted to call themselves Horsecock. I forgot whose idea

963
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,320
I think that might have been a was that a

964
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,840
Hangman idea or a Speedball might have been a Speedball idea?

965
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,480
And then the other guy shot it down, so then

966
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,440
they settled on jet Set Rodeo. Jet Set Rodeo is

967
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:32,000
better than Horsecock. But he can go after the trio's belt.

968
00:57:32,079 --> 00:57:35,079
He can go after the international belt, the national title.

969
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:45,519
Hangman and Andrade, whoa, there's a match for you outside

970
00:57:45,519 --> 00:57:50,159
the arena. Again, we're an overrun territory. Here we go

971
00:57:50,239 --> 00:57:52,840
outside the arena. The Death Riders answer the challenge from

972
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,760
the Bang Banggang for collision Tomorrow Night. Daniel Garcia then

973
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,920
called out Will Osprey for a match because he got

974
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,000
bitched earlier. He got bitched out earlier. I was gonna

975
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,360
say bitch slapped. It was more like a fucking forearm

976
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,480
or an elbow. So now we're getting a singles match

977
00:58:08,519 --> 00:58:13,360
tomorrow night between Osprey and Daniel Garcia. Moxley complained about

978
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,960
the morality Police, taking issue with the way they do things.

979
00:58:17,559 --> 00:58:20,760
He said what he loves about the Continental Championship is

980
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,239
that it's just about what's in your head and what's

981
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:28,599
in your heart. He mentioned there being a Continental Cup

982
00:58:30,079 --> 00:58:34,960
to I guess determine his challenger for all in if

983
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,239
his title reign ends and a hail of bullets, so

984
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:44,320
be it. He's willing to accept that that would be

985
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,280
a hell of a way for his run to to

986
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,159
come to an end. For all this time that he's

987
00:58:49,159 --> 00:58:51,920
been the Continental Champion. The only thing that could take

988
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,440
down John Moxley in a match is just a hail

989
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,159
of bullets. You know, the way some of these plunder

990
00:58:58,199 --> 00:59:00,559
and garbage matches are going in this company, I don't

991
00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:02,239
think we're too far away from it. We just had

992
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,199
Chris Jericho beat Tomaso Champa on Sunday with a fucking

993
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:11,679
power drill. How long before we see gunfire or knives

994
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,760
in one of these matches. We've had syringes, we've had

995
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,199
pyro explosions, we've had barbed wire, we've had broken glass,

996
00:59:18,199 --> 00:59:22,039
We've had staple guns, We've had everything you could possibly

997
00:59:22,079 --> 00:59:25,400
think of except what I just mentioned. That's the next step.

998
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,960
It's inevitable at this point. John Moxley finally he goes

999
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,760
down in a hal of bullets and finally loses his title.

1000
00:59:37,639 --> 00:59:42,559
And again this Continental Cup, I don't fucking know. There

1001
00:59:42,599 --> 00:59:46,239
was no discussion about it, there was nothing. There was

1002
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,960
a fleeting mention by John Moxley. So I'm not quite

1003
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,519
sure what I'm supposed to do with this. We need

1004
00:59:51,559 --> 00:59:53,840
more information on how this is going to work, who's

1005
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,599
going to be involved. Beyond that, we don't know anything.

1006
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,679
And then to close out the sh we had Tony

1007
01:00:00,679 --> 01:00:06,639
Shiavanni in the ring finally to introduce the aw World Champion,

1008
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,639
Kenny Omega. All cheers for Omega, by the way, no booze.

1009
01:00:12,519 --> 01:00:15,000
Just given the way things ended on Sunday, I was

1010
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,920
wondering if it might be more of a mixed reaction,

1011
01:00:17,079 --> 01:00:21,480
but all cheers for Omega. He barely got any words

1012
01:00:21,519 --> 01:00:25,119
out before will Osbury's music hit and the Challenger headed

1013
01:00:25,159 --> 01:00:29,159
to the ring and Omega said, it's fine. Cut the music.

1014
01:00:29,639 --> 01:00:33,760
Let's make it fun as they did in Kindergarten Show

1015
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,800
and Tell. He said it Redemption. Actually I think he

1016
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,119
said the kinder Garden. He said it in a very

1017
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,400
weird way, kind of like when he was talking about

1018
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,320
MJF a few weeks ago and he couldn't say the

1019
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:51,039
name Maxwell. I'll never get over that called him like

1020
01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:56,440
maxib It's different things that Kenny Omega apparently is unable

1021
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,280
to say said at Redemption. He showed Osprey how he

1022
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,599
felt and it didn't matter if the fans in the

1023
01:01:02,679 --> 01:01:07,039
moment misunderstood. He thought Osprey would get it. Maybe they

1024
01:01:07,119 --> 01:01:10,440
move on to the tell part of Show and Tell.

1025
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,800
Omega said, Osbury means the world to him, and he

1026
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,519
brought up the promise that they made to one another

1027
01:01:15,639 --> 01:01:17,559
to try their best to win the big one, win

1028
01:01:17,639 --> 01:01:22,000
the world title. Every time Omega put friendship before the belt,

1029
01:01:22,039 --> 01:01:25,679
one hundred percent of the time goes. Let's face it,

1030
01:01:25,719 --> 01:01:29,159
the whole reason that he let Osprey enter the Owen

1031
01:01:29,199 --> 01:01:32,199
Heart Tournament is to see him have success on his own.

1032
01:01:32,199 --> 01:01:35,480
But how did he repay Kenny? He told Kenny that

1033
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,920
it really sucks that Kenny gave up on himself. Does

1034
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,039
it look like I've given up? And he holds up

1035
01:01:43,079 --> 01:01:47,159
the championship and everybody cheers. Osprey will never be one

1036
01:01:47,199 --> 01:01:49,079
to talk down to him again. And even though he

1037
01:01:49,159 --> 01:01:51,559
gave him plenty of warnings about John Moxley and the

1038
01:01:51,559 --> 01:01:54,239
Death Riders, what's his excuse now that it blew up

1039
01:01:54,239 --> 01:01:58,280
in his face? So Ospray said that he came back

1040
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:02,000
too early from next surgery because he came back for revenge.

1041
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,800
And when he finally thought he had it, it slipped

1042
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,840
through his fingers. And in that moment, he had no

1043
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:11,159
friends that he could turn to. No Kyle, no Davis,

1044
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:16,519
no Callum Newman, no Kenny Omega. But who saved him,

1045
01:02:17,079 --> 01:02:20,119
the guy who took away his old life, the guy

1046
01:02:20,159 --> 01:02:22,719
he had so much hatred for, the guy who gave

1047
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,320
him an opportunity. Osprey didn't see the guy who broke

1048
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:29,800
his neck. He saw the former four time champion who

1049
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,800
could take him to where he needed to be if

1050
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:36,639
Omega wants. Honestly, Osprey liked being a death writer. He

1051
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,519
liked it. He liked the camaraderie, he liked the training.

1052
01:02:40,559 --> 01:02:42,480
He liked feeling like he did back when he was

1053
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,280
in Japan with a bunch of killers watching his back.

1054
01:02:45,679 --> 01:02:48,760
He understood why they're so protective of this place. But

1055
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:52,440
that's where it ends, says he doesn't share their philosophy.

1056
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,719
When he saw Omega with or when Osprey saw Omega

1057
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,719
with a chair wrapped around his neck, the same thing

1058
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,440
the death Riders did to him. He couldn't stand by

1059
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,880
and watch someone he loves go through what he went through,

1060
01:03:07,639 --> 01:03:10,960
so Omega says he remembers on Sunday after the match,

1061
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:14,840
he got beat up for minutes. It felt like hours,

1062
01:03:15,639 --> 01:03:18,599
feeling that chair around his neck, no energy to fight back.

1063
01:03:18,679 --> 01:03:20,880
All he could do was close his eyes and accept

1064
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,679
his fate, which is when he heard the cheers and

1065
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,559
somehow he knew that Osprey was there to save him.

1066
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:31,760
But when the minutes felt like an eternity, he took

1067
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,159
the chair off himself. He stood up and there Will

1068
01:03:35,199 --> 01:03:40,679
Osprey was holding Omega's championship. And the reason it took

1069
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,280
Ospbury so long to help was because he even contemplated

1070
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:48,480
using the plastic bag to begin with. Now this is

1071
01:03:48,519 --> 01:03:53,000
where again, this felt forced to me, and I pointed

1072
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,840
this out on TNT last night and uncrowned. If you

1073
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,719
watch back that closing segment on the pay per view

1074
01:03:59,719 --> 01:04:04,480
on SID, Kenny Omega is down and Kenny Omega is

1075
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,599
not looking at anything that's going on in the ring.

1076
01:04:06,679 --> 01:04:11,280
He's facing in the opposite direction. So when will Osprey

1077
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,119
is handed the plastic bag by John Moxley and he's

1078
01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:17,760
standing there and he's looking at it very intensely, and

1079
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:22,280
he's shaky, literally shaking and contemplating, you know, what he's

1080
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,880
going to do, and then ultimately he makes the right decision, right,

1081
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,440
he's not going to kill his friend, and he opts

1082
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,599
to attack the death Riders. Omega didn't see any of this.

1083
01:04:32,199 --> 01:04:34,960
Omega didn't see any of it. How does he know?

1084
01:04:36,559 --> 01:04:38,960
They're trying to explain it here in this segment, and

1085
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,719
it's just it's so forced to me. And so that's

1086
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,880
the thing. If they would have just handled that segment

1087
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,679
a little bit different on Sunday, where he actually could

1088
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,760
see what was going on, he's down in the corner

1089
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,599
or something, then I might look at it a little

1090
01:04:52,599 --> 01:04:55,719
bit differently. But the way he's explaining it and getting

1091
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,039
all even on Sunday when he got all upset and everything,

1092
01:04:58,079 --> 01:05:00,199
he's holding the plastic bag in his hand after he

1093
01:05:00,239 --> 01:05:02,639
dropped ospray on his head. He's like, you know, he's

1094
01:05:02,679 --> 01:05:04,800
pointing to the bag. I'm like, yeah, but how does

1095
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,079
he know? He sees a ripped up plastic bag on

1096
01:05:07,159 --> 01:05:09,000
the floor and he assumes, wow, boy, you know you

1097
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:13,519
were you were thinking about doing it, weren't you. How

1098
01:05:13,599 --> 01:05:18,880
you know how you know? He doesn't because he didn't

1099
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:24,599
see it. Omega slapped him in the face, said I

1100
01:05:24,639 --> 01:05:27,679
thought you were my friend. He sounded like Batista with Raymistereo.

1101
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,679
I thought you were my friend, he said. Osprey said,

1102
01:05:31,119 --> 01:05:35,519
I was your friend. Omega then asks, well, what am

1103
01:05:35,559 --> 01:05:38,239
I to you now? And he kept on slapping, and

1104
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,920
he slapped him again and again, and as he went

1105
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,159
to go slap him one more time, Osprey returned the

1106
01:05:45,159 --> 01:05:47,760
favor and knocked him down on his ass. And then

1107
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,679
he backed up and he teased the hidden blade, and

1108
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:56,079
when Omega turned around, Ospray stopped short and so now

1109
01:05:56,119 --> 01:05:58,559
Kenny is down on the mat on his ass. He

1110
01:05:58,639 --> 01:06:00,320
rolls out of the ring to the ramp like a

1111
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,239
heel to bail and get the hell out of there.

1112
01:06:04,519 --> 01:06:08,039
Ospray now has the ring all to himself, and he says,

1113
01:06:09,639 --> 01:06:12,400
no matter how much he loves Omega, if he puts

1114
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,239
his hands on him, he'll kick the shit out of him.

1115
01:06:15,519 --> 01:06:20,159
And everybody cheered since day one. Ospray reminded the fans

1116
01:06:20,199 --> 01:06:22,760
while Omega was gone that this is where the best

1117
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,760
wrestle and he's earned his spot to challenge for that

1118
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,199
world title. Standing before him is the biggest mountain that

1119
01:06:29,239 --> 01:06:33,199
he's been wanting to climb for ten years. As winners

1120
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:37,239
want the ball, right, the ace wants the ball, Ospray

1121
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:41,400
wants the ball. Ninety minutes are done, extra time is done,

1122
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,440
they're into penalties now, and it's his turn to kick

1123
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:49,400
the ball. Ospray has an entire country depending on him

1124
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:55,159
to bor entire hometown, as Tony Schavani would say, He's

1125
01:06:55,199 --> 01:06:57,920
got an entire country on his side to bring this

1126
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,559
thing home. They're all asking if he can pull the tree. Says,

1127
01:07:01,599 --> 01:07:04,159
you're damn right. I can pull the trigger. But he

1128
01:07:04,199 --> 01:07:06,440
won't do it from behind like Omega did, or like

1129
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,599
how Moxley wanted him to. He's pulling the trigger when

1130
01:07:09,679 --> 01:07:11,679
it matters the most, when the title is on the

1131
01:07:11,719 --> 01:07:17,480
line and Omega is going to see it coming. It's

1132
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:21,719
like cmpunk with Cody Rhoads. Me tell Cody, see I

1133
01:07:21,719 --> 01:07:23,440
told you a long time ago. I'm not gonna stab

1134
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,159
you in the back. I'm gonna stab you in the front.

1135
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,639
There's a lot of parallels here between these two stories

1136
01:07:27,679 --> 01:07:30,880
that are going on heading into SummerSlam this weekend, and

1137
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,039
then all in so, as far as this segment, it

1138
01:07:34,119 --> 01:07:37,079
was very long. And again, there was no reason for

1139
01:07:37,119 --> 01:07:40,239
this show to go thirty five minutes overtime. Okay, there's

1140
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,960
there's like an overrun, and then there's whatever the fuck

1141
01:07:43,039 --> 01:07:45,519
this was. And I look back at the show, you

1142
01:07:45,519 --> 01:07:48,320
could pick different segments that could have been cut from

1143
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:51,000
the show to get you to maybe a five or

1144
01:07:51,039 --> 01:07:53,760
ten minute overrun. They didn't need to go to ten

1145
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:58,000
thirty five. I'm sorry, that's ridiculous. That being said, I

1146
01:07:58,039 --> 01:08:00,519
thought it was I thought it was good. I was

1147
01:08:00,559 --> 01:08:02,760
not as much a fan of Kenny's promo as I

1148
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,039
was Osprey's. I liked the Osprey's promo and I like

1149
01:08:06,519 --> 01:08:08,760
the fire from him there at the end. He looked

1150
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,760
like somebody who was lock the fuck in and the

1151
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,559
World Championship is the most important thing in the world

1152
01:08:15,639 --> 01:08:19,439
to him, and no more of this like I love

1153
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:23,000
you stuff, I respect you. It's like, Okay, you don't

1154
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,560
think I can do it. You don't think I can

1155
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,720
drop the kill shot, you don't think I can be

1156
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:33,199
that guy. Okay, you'll find out. You'll find out at Wembley.

1157
01:08:34,039 --> 01:08:38,039
Kenny's out there and he just again his promos. It's

1158
01:08:38,119 --> 01:08:41,319
just very hit or miss. And then some of the

1159
01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:43,520
stuff here was very forced coming out of that angle

1160
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,920
from Sunday, because that's not how it really came off

1161
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,119
if you watch the segment on Sunday. But I'm I'm

1162
01:08:51,119 --> 01:08:53,039
glad that we are kind of moving in the direction

1163
01:08:53,119 --> 01:08:55,439
of like, Okay, these two they don't like each other. Now,

1164
01:08:56,199 --> 01:09:00,800
what's gonna happen? What other what other you know, incidents.

1165
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,600
So they're gonna be between these two, they're gonna be

1166
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,520
a big pull apart brawl. Are they gonna be part

1167
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:10,000
of the same match? Can they coexist? I mean, you

1168
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,760
can go through all the usual tropes. I mean, look,

1169
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,960
at some point we'll probably get something something like that.

1170
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,720
You gotta keep things interesting, right, You still got many

1171
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,720
more weeks left to go, but this was a strong start.

1172
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,920
I'm just happy they were on the show and they

1173
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:27,720
didn't just close with the fucking Demand against the Conglomeration.

1174
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,119
Imagine if they just went off the air with that,

1175
01:09:31,159 --> 01:09:33,479
we have new trios champions. The Demand now or the

1176
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:37,720
Trio's champions. Who gives a shit. I want to see

1177
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,479
the men who were in the main event of the

1178
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,880
pay per view that are coming up, and that's what

1179
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,880
we got. Kenny came up very heelish towards the end

1180
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,279
of this segment. Very interesting how he walked into total

1181
01:09:48,359 --> 01:09:50,560
cheers by the end there. I don't want to say

1182
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,600
he was getting booed, but Osprey was getting the cheers.

1183
01:09:54,159 --> 01:09:56,399
And the way Kenny rolled out and everything, and the

1184
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,600
way he was acting, he came off very heelish. I

1185
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,199
don't know if that's a sign that this this is

1186
01:10:00,279 --> 01:10:03,279
how they're going to position the two of them as

1187
01:10:03,319 --> 01:10:07,640
we head into London, or they may just kind of

1188
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,479
have Kenny like straddle the line a little bit. So

1189
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,000
I thought that was kind of interesting. But on the

1190
01:10:14,039 --> 01:10:16,520
whole I like the show. You know, I could pick

1191
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,920
the parts that I didn't like. But as compared to

1192
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,079
so many of these post pay per view episodes of Dynamite,

1193
01:10:22,119 --> 01:10:25,000
this one felt like, Okay, we got the key players

1194
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,720
are here and they're being featured, and we got some

1195
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,159
strong promo work to highlight the big matches that we

1196
01:10:31,239 --> 01:10:33,159
know so far, we still don't know where a lot

1197
01:10:33,199 --> 01:10:34,800
of other people are going to be slotted in on

1198
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,319
this card. Hangman, Right, he's back, what's he going to

1199
01:10:38,359 --> 01:10:39,880
be doing? Is he going to be in the Gauntlet?

1200
01:10:41,119 --> 01:10:44,840
Do the rules prevent him from being able to take

1201
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,680
part in the Casino Gauntlet? I would think they would.

1202
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,560
We're gonna need a little clarification on that from Tony Kahan.

1203
01:10:54,199 --> 01:10:56,520
So what's Hangman going to be doing? Is MJF going

1204
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:00,319
to be healthy back in time for the show. It

1205
01:11:00,399 --> 01:11:02,640
certainly feels to me like the match for him at

1206
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,840
all In is going to be Andrade. Andrade still has

1207
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:08,840
the Dynamite Diamond ring he's talking about. He's smiling, I

1208
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,239
got your ring. I screwed you. I got your ring.

1209
01:11:13,239 --> 01:11:15,479
And unfortunately they're not going to be doing the match

1210
01:11:16,359 --> 01:11:20,880
at Arena Mexico next week, but we have to be

1211
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,840
getting MJF and Andrade, And I'm just thinking all In

1212
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:28,359
is what would make the most sense? Have they not announced,

1213
01:11:28,399 --> 01:11:33,760
by the way, a match for Andrade? They have, right,

1214
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,239
He's going to be in that qualifying match next week, Okay,

1215
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:39,359
we just don't know who it's going to be against. Yeah,

1216
01:11:39,359 --> 01:11:41,119
because I was gonna say to not announce a match

1217
01:11:41,119 --> 01:11:43,520
for him for Arena Mexico in advance next week is

1218
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:48,000
crazy to me. But I guess we just don't know

1219
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:50,439
who the opponent is going to be yet. Maybe we'll

1220
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:55,800
find out tomorrow night. But anyway, good start here on

1221
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,479
the kickoff to this road to Wembley. Let me go

1222
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:04,079
through your chats here. If you have any questions, this

1223
01:12:04,119 --> 01:12:05,479
would be a good time to get him on in

1224
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:12,119
and any thoughts you may have. On tonight's episode of Dynamites,

1225
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:20,920
we'll starry with death scythe Hey death Syth Are you?

1226
01:12:21,199 --> 01:12:27,319
Are you on death ground? John Moxley says, well, Osbury

1227
01:12:27,399 --> 01:12:31,159
is operating on death ground. I think death Sithe is

1228
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:38,439
it's on death ground every week that Roderick makes a

1229
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,720
very interesting point here he goes Hangman said his world

1230
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:47,560
title ban was not put on paper. That is true,

1231
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:55,239
there's no actual contract that he's being held to. He says,

1232
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,159
you once said that the Wyatt Sixes gimmick had a

1233
01:12:58,279 --> 01:13:01,479
shelf life? Can the same be said for Dan Housen. Yes,

1234
01:13:03,039 --> 01:13:08,359
every gimmick like that has a shelf life? Joe Hendry

1235
01:13:09,079 --> 01:13:14,720
dan Housen, I guess our truth is sort of I mean,

1236
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:18,840
I've grown tired of some of his stick, not that

1237
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,239
I don't want him there. I just wish he was

1238
01:13:21,279 --> 01:13:26,800
doing something different. But he's kind of timeless in many ways.

1239
01:13:27,119 --> 01:13:32,680
But so many of these, especially comedy gimmicks with some exceptions,

1240
01:13:33,239 --> 01:13:36,039
and then you have other gimmicks like supernatural type stuff.

1241
01:13:36,039 --> 01:13:43,000
They all have a shelf life. Also, if WWE's goal

1242
01:13:43,039 --> 01:13:45,800
on Monday was to get me to turn against Dan Housen,

1243
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,479
well mission accomplished because Dan Housen has officially jumped the shark.

1244
01:13:51,640 --> 01:14:03,520
Oh and for that, brother, you are cursed. Give me backshots.

1245
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:07,720
Solemn Monster says, Hey solo, Mariah Carey might be behind

1246
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:14,079
this account. How the mighty have fallen? If she is

1247
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,439
dry Chicken says, every time I see these baddies in

1248
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:27,399
the crowd or with Androte, my jacuzzi turns ice cold.

1249
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,359
I was gonna say, you could use a cold shower there, brother.

1250
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:36,880
So the title doesn't make the man. The man makes

1251
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,319
the title. That's a WWE philosophy. I still believe in

1252
01:14:40,359 --> 01:14:45,319
the title makes the man philosophy in wrestling. Well, you

1253
01:14:45,399 --> 01:14:47,199
may believe in that, but that's not how it's supposed

1254
01:14:47,199 --> 01:14:50,600
to work. The title is a prop on the show.

1255
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,520
The title is what you make of it, and really,

1256
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,520
at the end of the day, you're not pushing the title.

1257
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:03,039
You're pushing the talent. People are not necessarily gonna buy

1258
01:15:03,039 --> 01:15:06,079
a ticket to a show for the title. I mean,

1259
01:15:06,119 --> 01:15:08,279
you can put the title on anybody. Doesn't mean people

1260
01:15:08,279 --> 01:15:09,640
are gonna buy a ticket to go to the show

1261
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,199
to see whoever the champion is. When Jack Swagger was

1262
01:15:12,239 --> 01:15:15,199
the World Heavyweight champion, I promise you not a single

1263
01:15:15,239 --> 01:15:18,560
person was buying a ticket to go see Jack Swagger

1264
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:24,359
defend the world title or Jinder Mahal defend the WWE Championship. Okay,

1265
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:29,560
that wasn't happening. It comes down to the talent, the man,

1266
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:35,760
the woman. Who are they? Are you invested in them?

1267
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,439
You're gonna push them? Are they getting over? If they

1268
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:45,399
get over? By getting over, they in effect will help

1269
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,000
elevate the world title to the status that you want

1270
01:15:48,039 --> 01:15:53,159
it to be at. It's not supposed to be the

1271
01:15:53,159 --> 01:15:54,960
title makes the man. It's supposed to be the man

1272
01:15:55,039 --> 01:16:01,399
makes the title. That's what I believe says that Will

1273
01:16:01,399 --> 01:16:06,960
Osprey promo tonight was fire. It was it was good.

1274
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,880
We need to give love to Hangman, Moxley Swerve, Mark Davis,

1275
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:16,079
and Kenny Omega for being part of Osprey's story for

1276
01:16:16,119 --> 01:16:23,840
the world title. Always give credit to Mark Davis says

1277
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,079
this won't be a prediction. Wwe could be tempted to

1278
01:16:27,079 --> 01:16:32,439
give brock Lesner another win against Oba Femei. Yeah, that's

1279
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:37,439
not happening, says EO. Sky should defeat Liv Morgan, but

1280
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:41,359
Creative could be tempted to keep the women's title on live.

1281
01:16:42,159 --> 01:16:44,439
I love how you're going. You're taking a fifty to

1282
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:50,279
fifty approach on all of this, so he can't be wrong. Well,

1283
01:16:50,279 --> 01:16:52,279
they should do this, but I think they'll do this,

1284
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,159
and they may be tempted to do this, but maybe

1285
01:16:56,159 --> 01:16:59,520
they'll do this. It's like years ago, I don't remember

1286
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:03,000
who it was, somebody sent in a super chat. This

1287
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:08,399
was leading into the G one and they were like,

1288
01:17:09,279 --> 01:17:12,399
my picks to win the G one and they named,

1289
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:16,239
like whatever, the one or two people they thought were

1290
01:17:16,279 --> 01:17:19,039
gonna win. And then they go and my dark horse

1291
01:17:19,119 --> 01:17:22,840
picks are this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy,

1292
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,199
or this guy. I'm like, why don't you just name

1293
01:17:24,199 --> 01:17:29,159
everybody in the whole fucking tournament. That's not how this

1294
01:17:29,199 --> 01:17:31,640
is supposed to work. You have a pick, and then

1295
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,760
you could pick a dark horse. But you can't pick

1296
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,720
six or seven people that doesn't count. You can't do that.

1297
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:48,159
That's not allowed. Barry with the fourteen dollars super chats

1298
01:17:49,119 --> 01:17:52,840
how bad it's what if live helps dan Housen beat

1299
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:57,399
Dom and then on Rawsch'll say that she did it

1300
01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:04,640
because dan Housen has more monies, so she's a gold digger. Yeah,

1301
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:09,600
I don't. I don't think they're gonna do that. You're

1302
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:14,960
advocating for more, Dan House. Do you realize what you're doing, Barry.

1303
01:18:15,039 --> 01:18:17,119
You're doing the opposite of what they should be doing.

1304
01:18:18,359 --> 01:18:27,439
I can't get behind that. Darryl Strawberry is with us.

1305
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,840
Have you ever eaten Ethiopian food? It's really good and

1306
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,880
there women are very pretty. Also, Seth Rollins looks like

1307
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:45,560
Bryce Harper to me, he does? He does? Who is

1308
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,640
the baseball player Jason Worth who looks like Adam Cole?

1309
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,520
One of them looks like Adam Copeland. I think it's

1310
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:56,439
Jason Worth. Have I ever eaten Ethiopian food? I think

1311
01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:02,840
I did once. I'm trying it was so if I did,

1312
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,720
if it's the cuisine that I'm remembering, and maybe it

1313
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:10,680
wasn't Ethiopian, but it was like I was a lot younger.

1314
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:14,399
I was many many years ago, and I just ended

1315
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,279
up having a peda bread. I don't think I had

1316
01:19:17,279 --> 01:19:19,600
anything else. I think I just literally ate pita bread.

1317
01:19:20,159 --> 01:19:24,520
I don't remember if it was Ethiopian though, or riatre

1318
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:29,119
in food. I wouldn't even be able to name any dishes.

1319
01:19:29,199 --> 01:19:34,399
So I mean, for all intents and purposes, I'll say no.

1320
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:37,239
I may have to try it, though, now that you've

1321
01:19:37,279 --> 01:19:47,399
endorsed it, Liam with a twelve incredible show Tonight would

1322
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,319
have had my sound off sign again, but I hurt

1323
01:19:49,359 --> 01:19:51,680
my back at work and my wife hurt her ankle

1324
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,199
on the stairs, so we needed all the chair space

1325
01:19:54,239 --> 01:19:56,640
that we could get. Love the show solo, Well, I'm

1326
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,000
sorry that you guys are the walking wounded right now.

1327
01:20:00,359 --> 01:20:04,119
I hope you feel better, but I appreciate the thought.

1328
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:08,039
This is always next time. In fact, they have a

1329
01:20:08,079 --> 01:20:10,720
show tomorrow. If you're all healed up by tomorrow, if

1330
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:20,800
you can go tomorrow. Darryl Strawberry, what is the worst

1331
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:28,439
expressway between these four? The Van Wick, the Cross Bronx,

1332
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:34,840
the Long Island or the Brooklyn Queen's Expressway Van Wick.

1333
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,000
The answer is the Van Wick. See even Keith Andrew

1334
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,560
Miller agrees with me. He probably doesn't even know what

1335
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,520
the van Wick is. Just take my word for a brother.

1336
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:57,239
It is the worst love the Lord with a ten

1337
01:20:57,319 --> 01:21:01,880
dollars super chat. I hope we see Athena versus maya

1338
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,520
world for the TBS Championship at all in London. Best

1339
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:10,520
Wednesday night Dynamite since Beach Break that I would agree with.

1340
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:16,680
Says maybe we will see Rhino and MotorCity machine Guns tomorrow. Yeah,

1341
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,079
that's right. Rhino was being brought in and then I

1342
01:21:19,119 --> 01:21:22,920
heard nothing about Rhino actually being like in a dark

1343
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,439
match or anything like that. So very possible he will

1344
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:31,000
be at Collision tomorrow and the machine Guns as well.

1345
01:21:32,079 --> 01:21:34,439
I think Rhino was. I think Rhino said he was

1346
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:39,079
hoping to do something with copin Christian A lot of

1347
01:21:39,119 --> 01:21:41,920
history with those threes. I don't know if they're he's

1348
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:44,560
going to get that chance or not, but that's what

1349
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:48,760
he was hoping. Gold Matthew mount Rushmore of Samoans in

1350
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:53,520
terms of in ring, I don't know. I've never thought

1351
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:58,239
about it. I don't really have a mount Rushmore of Samoan.

1352
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:02,560
Yoko Zoo would be on there. Roman has to be

1353
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:04,960
on there, just I mean for the body of work

1354
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:09,000
he's put together. You don't even have to necessarily have

1355
01:22:09,079 --> 01:22:12,399
Roman on your list as like your favorite wrestler, but

1356
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,319
you can't deny He's been part of a lot of

1357
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:20,680
killer matches over the years, including one at WrestleMania this year,

1358
01:22:22,159 --> 01:22:27,199
WrestleMania last year, WrestleMania forty, WrestleMania thirty nine. That was

1359
01:22:27,239 --> 01:22:32,199
an excellent match too, until the finish. The guys had

1360
01:22:32,199 --> 01:22:37,560
banger matches at four straight WrestleManias. That's not an accident.

1361
01:22:40,079 --> 01:22:42,720
Even that last match he had with Brock at SummerSlam

1362
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:46,960
a few years ago, the Last Man's Standing match. So

1363
01:22:47,119 --> 01:22:55,239
Roman is on there. I'd put Yoko on there. I

1364
01:22:55,279 --> 01:23:03,199
mean Rock Rock would have to be on there. And

1365
01:23:03,239 --> 01:23:09,439
who would be the fourth? I don't know. It's not

1366
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,159
the yeat Man. I don't know who the fourth is.

1367
01:23:12,199 --> 01:23:21,159
I haven't think about that combat theater. Actually, what about uh?

1368
01:23:21,199 --> 01:23:27,119
What about Umaga? How would you feel about Umaga being

1369
01:23:27,159 --> 01:23:33,159
on that list? He had some good matches him and

1370
01:23:33,239 --> 01:23:42,439
Jeff Hardy. That was a fun feud. Ah Samoa Joe.

1371
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:49,479
Of course, the words Samoa is literally literally it is

1372
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:55,359
name fach. How could I forget Samoa Joe? I just

1373
01:23:55,359 --> 01:23:59,039
talked about his Dark Side of the Ring episode last week.

1374
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,239
All right, So if we have to narrow it down

1375
01:24:01,279 --> 01:24:08,239
to four, we have Rock, we have Joe, Roman, Rock, Roman, Joe,

1376
01:24:10,039 --> 01:24:15,039
and Yokam. I'm comfortable with that. Put them in whatever

1377
01:24:15,159 --> 01:24:19,840
order you want to put them in. God, how did

1378
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:24,960
I leave off Samoa Joe? Combat Theater says, well, you

1379
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,439
watch the New Spider Man, and who is your favorite

1380
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,640
Spider Man. I may eventually watch the New Spider Man.

1381
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:37,880
I feel like I shouldn't, though, just because I have

1382
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,880
a lot of catching up to do when it comes

1383
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:44,279
to the MCU if I want to get caught up

1384
01:24:44,319 --> 01:24:48,399
before Avengers Doomsday in December. You guys gave me a

1385
01:24:48,399 --> 01:24:50,239
lot of great feedback to that tweet that I put

1386
01:24:50,319 --> 01:24:54,520
up last week. Unfortunately, I have like twenty two films

1387
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:59,119
I think I'm supposed to be watching. I don't think

1388
01:24:59,159 --> 01:25:03,159
that's gonna happen. The last Spider Man I saw was

1389
01:25:03,199 --> 01:25:06,720
Toby maguire was still Spider Man, so I'll go Toby Maguire.

1390
01:25:07,199 --> 01:25:09,680
I never saw any of the Andrew Garfield movies. I

1391
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,880
haven't seen any of the Tom Holland stuff. I don't

1392
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:18,039
really have a great frame of reference for it, you know,

1393
01:25:18,159 --> 01:25:23,760
outside of Toby McGuire. Isaac says, your thoughts on the

1394
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:29,279
Camp Crystal Lake trailer. I liked it. I remember first

1395
01:25:29,279 --> 01:25:34,880
reading about that series being in development. I actually was

1396
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:41,199
copied on something. There was a there was a gig

1397
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:48,439
that popped up for some background extras, and unfortunately the

1398
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:53,520
casting call had just expired like the day before. Otherwise

1399
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:56,119
I would have applied to be on the show. Is

1400
01:25:56,199 --> 01:25:58,720
like a background like extra. I mean, they may not

1401
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:00,800
have picked me, but I was like, man, I could

1402
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:06,239
have been on the show. Missed my chance. Maybe next time.

1403
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,039
And EJ Slim fifty years ago today was son of

1404
01:26:13,079 --> 01:26:21,760
Sam's first murder, says, you weren't born yet. Did you

1405
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,600
ever hear stories about him the Blackout, heat Wave or

1406
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:30,399
the seventy seven Yankees drama? Sure, I heard plenty of

1407
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:35,479
stories about it. Wasn't in the middle of it or

1408
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:42,319
anything like that. Saw the movie many years ago, but

1409
01:26:42,399 --> 01:26:44,800
I didn't live it in the way that other people, obviously,

1410
01:26:45,079 --> 01:26:46,720
you know, lived it in New York. It was a

1411
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:55,880
very scary time. We have EJ again. We've got our

1412
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,840
own Van Wick in Chicago, the Dan Ryan and the Trist,

1413
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,920
the tri state alone is one of the many reasons

1414
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:07,279
why I avoid O'Hare like the plague. Really, it's the

1415
01:27:07,279 --> 01:27:09,039
only airport I fly in and out of when I

1416
01:27:09,079 --> 01:27:16,039
go to Chicago. Is O'Hare. Well, at least it's not

1417
01:27:16,239 --> 01:27:20,520
La where you can apparently walk out of your house

1418
01:27:21,079 --> 01:27:23,680
and you could see the restaurant down the road that

1419
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:27,279
you want to go to and it takes you at

1420
01:27:27,319 --> 01:27:31,439
thirty seven minutes to drive there. See that? To me,

1421
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,439
that would be hell on Earth. If Luise was in

1422
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:36,720
the chat with us tonight, I would add, because Luise

1423
01:27:37,119 --> 01:27:41,399
is from LA, I would ask Luis for his personal

1424
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:50,760
perspective on that LA traffic sounds like an absolute fucking nightmare. Solo.

1425
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:55,399
I'll never forget that rent you did on the van

1426
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,720
Wick when those birds, Yeah, the birds, the fucking birds,

1427
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,319
the brawling birds. Yeah, don't get me started on the birds.

1428
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:10,199
That was a bad day. Hey, James, there he is,

1429
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,079
James says, I live hell on Earth. He's James. I

1430
01:28:14,119 --> 01:28:17,560
saw James last time I was in Los Angeles. James

1431
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:21,279
came out to the House of Glory show, which, by

1432
01:28:21,319 --> 01:28:22,760
the way, is a good time for me to plug

1433
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:26,439
real quick. Next Friday, not this Friday. Next Friday, August seventh,

1434
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:31,720
after Summer Slim is House of Glory High Intensity, and

1435
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:34,199
for the first time, we will be streaming the event

1436
01:28:34,319 --> 01:28:38,000
live in full in free on our YouTube channel, the

1437
01:28:38,039 --> 01:28:41,119
official House of Glory YouTube channel. You'll get to hear

1438
01:28:41,159 --> 01:28:45,319
me on commentary and who knows, maybe doing other stuff.

1439
01:28:45,359 --> 01:28:47,640
I don't know. We got a lot of big names,

1440
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:50,239
a lot of big matches on that show. You could

1441
01:28:50,319 --> 01:28:52,359
check out what they all are in our social media,

1442
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:55,079
but hopefully we will see some of you in the chat.

1443
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:59,000
We'll be keeping track of what's going on. It'll be

1444
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:05,039
a big night. Are leon oh one? What's the over

1445
01:29:05,199 --> 01:29:11,560
under on kickouts for osprey omega? Oh my god? They

1446
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,359
should list that on Calshi. People can take bets on

1447
01:29:14,399 --> 01:29:19,359
how many kickouts they're gonna be in that match. Fucking polymarket.

1448
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:23,359
If I had a venture, I guess as to how

1449
01:29:23,399 --> 01:29:27,600
many near falls we're gonna have in that match. No

1450
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:34,600
less than thirty, No less than thirty. It's gonna be

1451
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:41,800
out of control, all right. Friday we got the SmackDown

1452
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,199
post show, the final stream for the month of July,

1453
01:29:44,359 --> 01:29:47,960
the final stream before SummerSlam. I will be streaming for

1454
01:29:48,039 --> 01:29:50,960
both nights of SummerSlam. It's gonna be like WrestleMania all

1455
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,439
over again. WrestleMania is our biggest week end of the year.

1456
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,760
Can we try to match that this weekend? It's gonna

1457
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,720
be a big weekend. Nonetheless, Hopefully, you guys, even if

1458
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:03,520
you're not watching SummerSlam, even if you're totally disenchanted with

1459
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,199
the WWE product, and many of you are, I hope

1460
01:30:07,239 --> 01:30:09,920
to see you here with me for the full recaps

1461
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:13,000
on both nights, and unlike WrestleMania a week and I

1462
01:30:13,039 --> 01:30:15,880
will be doing a SoundOff as well, so you'll get

1463
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:17,560
the sound off. You'll get my Dark Side of the

1464
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,720
Ring review on the Big boss Man episode that aired

1465
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:22,720
last night. I was not expecting by the way. I

1466
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:25,760
watch The Dark Side of the Ring every week and

1467
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:29,039
there's a lot of sad stories. And I watched the

1468
01:30:29,079 --> 01:30:32,760
boss Man one this morning and there's a part of

1469
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:37,600
the episode where I started crying. It got to me

1470
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:42,279
that hasn't happened in a while, but I did cry

1471
01:30:42,359 --> 01:30:45,239
during this episode. So we'll talk about that this weekend.

1472
01:30:46,199 --> 01:30:47,880
Thank you, by the way, for all the feedback to

1473
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:54,399

that long. It's like that night. They post the full

1481
01:31:14,199 --> 01:31:16,560

1482
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:20,680

1486
01:31:30,359 --> 01:31:35,119
a good one. All right, Be well, stay safe. How

1487
01:31:35,159 --> 01:31:37,000
are we doing on the likes? Yeah, we didn't hit

1488
01:31:37,039 --> 01:31:40,680
the goal. We did not hit the goal that we

1489
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:42,800
were at four ninety on the likes. As you could see,

1490
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:47,439
the wheel said six hundred. I figured that was a

1491
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:51,079
long shot to begin with. It's a Wednesday. It's a Wednesday.

1492

the thumbs, bring your thumbs. We'll get enough likes. We'll

1494
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:04,359
do be the booker on Friday. Be well, stay safe,

1495
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,000
have yourselves a great rest of your nights. Thank you
