WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:04.280 What's going on guys. It is a Wednesday night. That 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.160 means it is your aw Dynamite review. It is January eighth, 3 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.400 twenty and twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Bet 4 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.480 a lot of wrestling over the last few days. I 5 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.839 watched back to bag Tokyo Dome shows over the weekend. 6 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.640 What I was most looking forward to on that second show, 7 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.519 Wrestled Dynasty, was the return of Kenny Omega. He had 8 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:28.399 a match against Gabe Kid on that show. We have 9 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.679 not seen Omega in the ring and over a year, 10 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.320 and I wanted to see what Kenny Omega would we 11 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.159 get on that show, and I am happy to report 12 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.679 the Kenny Omega that we got was the Kenny Omega 13 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.039 of old Kenny Omega went out there and already here 14 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.880 we're eight days into the year, had the match of 15 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.039 the Year for twenty twenty five. So I knew coming 16 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.560 into this show, Kenny Omega can still go. The old 17 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.200 Kenny Omega is still there. But what would they have 18 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.079 him doing on the show. Because Kenny Omega was advertised 19 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.280 for Dynamite tonight, didn't say what he was going to 20 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.719 be doing, didn't say who he was going to be 21 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.319 addressing or anything like that. But I wanted to see 22 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.319 what are they going to do with him? Who are 23 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.000 they going to have him feud with? As that first 24 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.640 program back, you know, we're building now to this big 25 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.400 show in Australia next month, and so they built everything 26 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.920 around Omega and they saved him for the closing segment 27 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.760 on this show. He came out there and we had, 28 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.760 by the time this show was over, i'd say, a 29 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.560 pretty good sense of where things seemed to be headed 30 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.480 for Grand Slam. But the thing I will say about 31 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.840 Kenny Omega, It's great to have him back. Number one. 32 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.159 I've been saying this for the longest time. A lot 33 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.040 of people made hay about the fact that he was 34 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.079 making his in ring return on a New Japan show, 35 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.359 and really it was a joint show, but I mean, 36 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.000 come on, it was a New Japan show. Why is 37 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.280 he making his return there? Why is he not making 38 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.120 his in ring return first in aw Right, which is 39 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.280 his home company. And I think he kind of looked 40 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.159 at it as this loyalty that he still has to 41 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.959 New Japan. And also so just what am I gonna 42 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.560 look like? What am I gonna feel like? All right? 43 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.760 Let me let me get in the ring and move 44 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.520 these bones again and get in there with somebody and 45 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.719 see how my body reacts. And he passed that test 46 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.319 with flying colors. So now the ring rust there was 47 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.439 no ring rusty, there was ring rust. It's all shook 48 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.479 off now and now we have him back on Dynamite 49 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.159 hopefully every single week. This is what Tony Khan has 50 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.560 needed for a very long time. MJF is back right 51 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.120 fairly recently. They got him back. He was gone for 52 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.400 a while. But Kenny is their guy. Kenny Omega, he 53 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.800 is he is AW. He is one of the founding 54 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.439 fathers of this company. He is a former AW World champion. 55 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.680 He is the heart and soul of this brand and 56 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.719 he has been missed and now Tony Khan has him 57 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.000 back in the fold to kick off the new year, 58 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.800 and that's a huge thing. But what we got tonight 59 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.680 was a tease for something with Omega and Osprey and 60 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:01.599 the Kallus family leading into the Australia show netw The 61 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.919 one thing I am I'm watching for and I am 62 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.560 hoping for is that as we get deeper into the year, 63 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.360 Kenny needs to be the guy they sort of rally 64 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.879 around and the guy they build around and hopefully he 65 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.159 can stay healthy and you knock on wood, everything will 66 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.560 be fine and he won't have a relapse of the 67 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.879 diverticulitis or anything, because that's a very serious thing. But 68 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.960 they need to really build around him. He is the 69 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.840 nucleus of this company and he could talk all he 70 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.479 wants to and promos about oh AW doesn't need me 71 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.199 and all this stuff. Yes they do now more than 72 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.800 ever AW needs him, And maybe it won't make a 73 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.240 huge dent as far as attendance and stuff. I don't 74 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.840 think it's going to really rely on any one person, 75 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.319 but he has to be part of this rebuilding process 76 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.400 as we head into the new year trying to grow 77 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.680 regrow this audience again. Kenny Omega is a familiar face 78 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.520 that people know of from the beginning of AW. But 79 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.400 also he can go out there and have kick ass 80 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.439 matches that tear the house down, which is also part 81 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.000 of the heart and soul of what this company was 82 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.080 built on. You could talk about stories and all that stuff, 83 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.360 but this company was built on having great fucking wrestling matches, 84 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.560 and that's something Kenny Omega is better at than most 85 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.480 people in wrestling today. So it was great to have 86 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.720 him back on the show tonight. We also had a 87 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.879 casino gauntlet match. Tony Kahn loves these gauntlet matches. We're 88 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.160 hitting two of them. We had one tonight. We're getting 89 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.000 another one for the women next week. But tonight it 90 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.240 was to decide a number one contender for John Moxley's 91 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.240 AW World Championship, who will challenge him on Dynamite next 92 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.120 week for the AW title. It's the Maximum what are 93 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.839 they calling him? Maximum Carnage? Is that what they're dubbing 94 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.600 that episode, right, the Maximum Carnage episode of Dynamite. So 95 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.439 we had our gauntlet match tonight and a surprise winner 96 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.519 somebody I was not expecting to be the victor and 97 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.360 to go on to get that title match next week. 98 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.439 Powerhouse Hobbs. He's challenging John Moxley next week for the 99 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.000 CHAMPIONSHI and he is somebody who has been in the 100 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.319 ring with Moxley before. In fact, the last time that 101 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.199 he shared a ring with John Moxley before tonight, he 102 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.360 got hurt. That's when he ruptured his I think it 103 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.160 was a Beteller tendon injury and he missed seven months 104 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.439 of his career. So there is some history there to play. 105 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.240 Off of They don't have a lot of time to 106 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.360 play off that history because the matches in a week. 107 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.240 They do have Collision this week, and I'm hoping they 108 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.279 lean more into that. We'll talk more about that when 109 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.879 we get there. But that was a refreshing finish. Now 110 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.680 what happens next week, I'm not expecting a refreshing outcome 111 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.439 to that match. But of all the choices they could 112 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.240 have gone with in this Gauntlet match, I don't object 113 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.720 to them putting Powerhouse Hobs over in that situation. What 114 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.000 I do object to is focusing too much airtime on 115 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.120 Jeff Jarrett and MJF. We had a Jeff Jarrett MJF 116 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.639 segment that honestly, the segment itself was not bad, but 117 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.439 the idea that this is what MJF is potentially going 118 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.519 to be wrapped up in here for a while, that just, 119 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.759 you know, that just makes me shake my head. We'll 120 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.240 talk about that. We have some potential news as well 121 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.519 on Malachi Black. Stop me if you've heard this before. 122 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.920 I know these reports bubble up every few months. I'm 123 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.680 waiting on the inevitable Instagram video, the rant on Instagram 124 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.519 from Malachi refuting all of this, but we do have 125 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.120 news on Malachi Black, and it's being reported this time 126 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.920 by a source that I do think is very reputable, 127 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.040 and so there could very well be something to this 128 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.839 and we'll get into that as well here as we 129 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.120 go on in the review. None of the new champions 130 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.959 that were crowned AW personalities who walked out of Wressell 131 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.480 Kingdom or Wressell Dynasty with titles this weekend, we're actually 132 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.360 on the show. We got a video package, but there 133 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.639 was no Mercedes Monet who won her match with Mina 134 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.199 Sheikaw on Sunday. No Kenoski Takeshta, who is now a 135 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.360 double champion. He won the never open weight title this weekend, 136 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.000 so he has that and the international title. He was 137 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.720 not there, and the Young Bucks were not there. That 138 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.399 the Young Bucks have been off of AW television for 139 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.079 a while. They are now the IWGP Tag Team champions. 140 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.160 Once again, they were not present on the show either. 141 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.279 But again, this is your Dynamite review. We're going to 142 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.920 talk about everything top to bottom here on this show. 143 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.079 It is January eighth, and before I even go on, 144 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.360 I just want to say to all of the folks 145 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.920 who are out west in California, right now who are 146 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.240 potentially in the path of these raging wildfires, and it's 147 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.480 all over the news and it's only getting worse. It's 148 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.120 very scary the way this is spreading, and it's just 149 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.759 sort of out of control. So if you are in 150 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.240 the area, if you are in the path of what's 151 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.839 going on there, if you are impacted in any way 152 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.120 by it, please stay safe because that is a very 153 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.759 scary situation. It took all of one week, but the 154 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.560 Pointer Sisters have been benched, at least for this week. 155 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.480 They were already on the back burner. We had the 156 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.319 new Dynamite theme song I'm So Excited last week by 157 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.800 the Pointer Sisters, and this week we had a cold open, 158 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.600 so we had no intro music at all. I hope 159 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.959 he didn't pay too much money for it, but yes, 160 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.240 we had no Pointer Sisters Tonight. Ex Caliber, Matt Monard 161 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879 and Ian ric Abonni were on commentary tonight. Ian was 162 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.439 in to replace Tony Shavanni, who we were told was 163 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:29.800 on assignment. So they opened the show tonight with will 164 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.039 Osprey one on one with Buddy Matthews. Never a bad 165 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.759 idea to open the show with a will Osprey match, 166 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.960 as Buddy Matthews entered. They were airing highlights on the 167 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.080 screen on the inset from his win way back in 168 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.440 November on the Full Gear pre show on the Zero Hour, 169 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.799 he won a four way match. That's the last time 170 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.120 we saw him on TV. We have not seen him 171 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.320 in action since until tonight. And it's I said it then, 172 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.919 I'll say it now. Very weird to me how they 173 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:06.799 went right from Full Gear into the Continental Classic. Buddy 174 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.080 Matthews won that four way match. You know who else 175 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.639 was in that match with the Beast Mortas. They put 176 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.600 the Beast Mortas in the Continental Classic and not Buddy Matthews. Now, 177 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.399 the Beast Morte's didn't win. I don't think he won 178 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.240 a single match. I think he had zero points in 179 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.519 the entire tournament. Better him than Buddy Matthews, I guess. 180 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.440 But it's just bizarre to me that he would win. 181 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.879 Mortos loses, but he earns a spot in the Continental Class. 182 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.360 Just doesn't make any sense that the announcers here tried 183 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.960 to sell the idea that Matthews was upset that Osprey 184 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.720 had eliminated Brody King from the Continental Classic. I think 185 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:47.279 he's upset about the Continental Classic, although for very different reasons. 186 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.960 Has nothing to do with brody king. But these two 187 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.360 were moving at a fast pace. Here, they were having 188 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.320 a great match here both men they hit the ropes, 189 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.639 they crashed into each other on a double cross body 190 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.600 attempt that left them down. Ospray managed to land a 191 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.360 leaping kick and then a flying forearm. Matthews avoided a 192 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.879 super kick in the corner and he delivered a lung blower. 193 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:14.080 Ospray rolled to the outside and Matthews delivered a somersault. 194 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.960 Sent on back inside. Matthew's delivered a meteora from the 195 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.039 top rope covered him for a near fall. Both men 196 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.480 ended up on the apron. Ospray attempted an oscutter from 197 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:30.519 the apron, so he jumped onto the ropes, dove backwards. 198 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.240 Matthews caught him and he sent Ospray flying off the 199 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:38.559 apron right into the edge of the announced desk. And 200 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:42.039 when he hit the desk, ex Caliber made the comment, 201 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:46.200 this is a solid oak desk. He said, not a 202 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.799 chance in hell that that is a solid oak announced desk. 203 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:57.679 Not a chance. Ospray managed to come back in the ring. 204 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.039 Matthews avoided an oscutter, landed a stomp for a close 205 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.360 near fall, Osprey recovered, he hit his styles clash, which 206 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.399 got another close near fall, and then he delivered the 207 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.799 Hidden Blade as Matthews just sat there on his knees 208 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.360 staring at him, just taking it, and he hit the 209 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.759 Hidden Blade and he won the match. And this was 210 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.559 just like the way that Malachi Black lost to Adam Cole. 211 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.919 They had a match a couple of months ago. At 212 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.600 least in that match, though, if you remember Malachi, he 213 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.720 was selling a leg injury leg or an ankle, whatever 214 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.879 it was. He couldn't stand up, so he just sat 215 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.039 there across the legged and basically said, hey, just give 216 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.960 it to me, and Adam Cole lowered the boom. So 217 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.480 it was a very similar finish, except in that case 218 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.840 Malachi had a reason he couldn't stand up, so he 219 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.000 basically just kind of gave up and said, all right, 220 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.279 hit me with it, hit me with your best shot here. 221 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.200 It didn't make any sense. It was just stupid, because 222 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.480 it's not like he was defenseless or he was kind 223 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.679 of out of it in loopy. He's just like, all right, 224 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.120 just go ahead, just hit me in the head, just okay. 225 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.720 So that looked very dumb. So Ospray picks up the 226 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.799 wind other than that real good match. When it was over, 227 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:17.120 Ospray grabbed a microphone and he began to put over 228 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.720 Buddy Matthews. At first though he accidentally called him Buddy Murphy, 229 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.080 and he quickly corrected himself. He realized what he had done, 230 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.879 so he told him that he has admired him from Afar. 231 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.159 He told him that he and Brodie King they don't 232 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.159 need to be a follower for anyone. He said he 233 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.320 could see him holding tag team gold or singles gold 234 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.320 if he worked hard enough, and if he ever needed 235 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.600 a man in his corner, he would be there for him. 236 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.600 And Osprey offered his hand for a handshake and Matthews accepted. 237 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.360 So that was a nice moment. And you know he 238 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.000 put him over there at the end, even though he 239 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.960 won the match, he gave him the ring. Osprey left 240 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.679 the ring. The fans were chanting Buddy. So this was 241 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.960 this was their way, even in defeat, in trying to 242 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.639 put Buddy Matthews over. Now, is it going to amount 243 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.000 to anything? Probably not. Again, Unfortunately, we're at a point 244 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.840 now in this company where when it comes to a 245 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.159 lot of these undercard talents who they should be doing 246 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.120 more with and I'd like to see them featured more 247 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.799 on TV. You kind of get your hopes up and 248 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.039 then you get let down. I'm not getting my hopes 249 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.960 up about anything here. But if you're wondering, why, what 250 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.080 was the purpose of this? Why are they going to 251 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.039 split them away from the House of Black? Are they 252 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.320 going to really give him a push? Is Malachi Black 253 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.480 and to be upset that Osprey maybe is trying to 254 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.960 drive these guys away from him. That was my first thought. 255 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.720 But then I saw that Fightful Select had a report 256 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:45.399 earlier tonight that those they have spoken with in AW 257 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.519 are of the belief and that this is not confirmation 258 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.440 of anything, but those they have spoken to in AAW 259 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.519 are of the belief that Malachi Black was finishing up 260 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:59.039 with AW if he has not already done so, and 261 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.679 they did not clarify he would be appearing on TV 262 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.559 again for the company. Now we have heard these rumors 263 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.919 and reports. Now it feels like, I don't know, it's 264 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.080 like every two or three months, four months, we hear 265 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.399 some Malachi Black rumor about him going back to WWE 266 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.360 and or asking out of his contract or his contract 267 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.440 is expiring, and then inevitably, he puts a video out 268 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.960 on social media where you know he's not ranting and screaming, 269 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.279 but you could tell he's just very annoyed that people 270 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.840 are taught When I feel, honestly, the way that AW 271 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.200 has been using him, if I were him, I would 272 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.039 just be happy people are talking about me at all, 273 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.720 because it's not as if they have featured him in 274 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.879 any sort of meaningful story in quite some time. He's 275 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.279 a very bizarre case. When I look back on him, 276 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.480 and we could talk about a whole bunch of different people, 277 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.200 he could talk about Miro. I mean, you know, the 278 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.120 list is long of just very weird cases of guys 279 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.399 that came over from WWE lot of potential, and then 280 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.799 you ask yourself, where did it all go wrong? In 281 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:06.799 AAW like, what the hell happened? Malachi would be at 282 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.080 the top of that list, although Miro is a very 283 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.279 curious case too. Malachi came into the company and he 284 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.960 was pushed right out of the gate. He was put 285 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.679 over Cody Rhodes. Okay, he made a huge impact when 286 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.600 he first debuted, and you really thought, this guy is 287 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.639 a future AW world champion. I like, I remember at 288 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.519 the time, I was talking about mapping out the next 289 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.720 two years of AW World title holders, and he was 290 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:35.879 on my list because I just thought it's inevitable that 291 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.279 at some point it might take a year, it might 292 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.919 take a while he's going to be an AW World champion. 293 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.919 And then at some point in the last year year 294 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.200 and a half, I came to the realization, there's no 295 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.679 fucking way that's gonna happen. It's just never gonna happen. 296 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.120 That he was hurt for a while, he had a 297 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.480 bad back injury, but that was a long time ago, 298 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.159 so he has made it very clear he's not hurt. 299 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.559 He hasn't been dealing with any kind of injury issues. 300 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.559 He's been healthy, and he would get very annoyed that 301 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.240 people would would be asking questions when it was very 302 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:08.639 bizarre that he was not in a singles match for 303 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.879 months and months and months, and then finally he started 304 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.039 doing some singles matches, but Tony Khan was using him 305 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:22.519 exclusively as a trio's wrestler, and Malachi Black is somebody 306 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.960 who can deliver for Tony Khan in this case in 307 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.840 a variety of ways, but as a single star, there 308 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.279 is a lot of potential there. There is a lot 309 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.159 of money to be made with somebody like that. I 310 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.759 think in a singles role, he could be a singles 311 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.799 champion in this company. And it just felt like Tony 312 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.679 never he never saw him that way. He was largely 313 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.120 protected but never really pushed. As the best way I 314 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.480 could describe it. Not that he was undefeated and has 315 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.080 never been beaten, but he was pretty protected. I would 316 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.879 say he was protected more than most, but never seriously 317 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.799 pushed out side of that opening feud with Cody, and 318 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.680 I just I don't understand why. It doesn't make any 319 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.839 sense to me, but it's clear as day that if 320 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.759 he does stick around in AAW I mean, he's just 321 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.599 going to be stuck spinning his wheels, and honestly, the 322 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.000 best thing for him if he you know, I can't 323 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.079 imagine that he is thrilled in the position that he's in, 324 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.400 and that's just me. I don't know. I can't get 325 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.759 in the man's head. But assuming that he is somebody 326 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.880 who is motivated and driven and has goals, as many 327 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:31.079 wrestlers do right, very goal oriented. They want to be 328 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.119 high up on the card, or they want to be 329 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.720 fighting for championships, because when you fight for championships. Yes, 330 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.960 it's a television show, but when you're fighting for championships, 331 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.880 actually world championships, you're going to be higher up on 332 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.240 the card, right, Why wouldn't he want to be higher 333 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.960 up on the card. I refuse to believe that he 334 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.880 is happy as a pig and shit with the position 335 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.000 that he is in in this company. If this report 336 00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:55.680 is true and he really is exiting the company, it's 337 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.799 for the better. It's for the better because clearly he 338 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.880 has reached his ceiling, not because he doesn't have the 339 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.559 talent to do more, because Tony Khan just doesn't have 340 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.880 a spot for him. And if Tony Khan doesn't have 341 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.200 a spot for him and he's not getting any younger, 342 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.119 then he should leave and go somewhere else. And I 343 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.200 could absolutely see him back in WWE. Clearly Triple H 344 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.079 was a big fan of his when he was in NXT, 345 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.559 and I think the Triple H could definitely use a 346 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.480 guy like him. You could plug him into a variety 347 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:29.200 of roles. Not even sure if he'll be a World 348 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.160 Heavyweight champion, but at least he would be doing something. 349 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.400 So if this is true, I hope it happens, and 350 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.279 me personally I would love to see him back in 351 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:43.240 WWE under a new administration, get a second lease on life, 352 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.319 because it's just very clear to me if he's just 353 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.799 stuck doing the House of Black, it's a waste of 354 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.160 his talent. He could be doing a lot more than that. 355 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.000 And for Brody King and Buddy Matthews, this is an 356 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.440 opportunity for them as well, because Buddy Matthews a tremendous 357 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.599 talent in the House of Black. Okay, but it feels 358 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:05.720 like he's kind of held back by that Brody King. 359 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.720 They've been using Brodie King a lot more than Buddy 360 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.400 Matthews in a singles role, but Brodie King two years 361 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.279 in a row, he was in the Continental Classic. If 362 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:16.200 they are going to go their separate ways, and I 363 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.799 kind of feel like they should. I don't think they 364 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.279 need to be a tag team. I think you could 365 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.920 do singles with them, although they make a hell of 366 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.480 a team. But if they split them up, I think 367 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:28.119 Brody and Julia heart I feel like they would stick together. 368 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.440 Buddy I could see going off and doing his own thing, 369 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.000 but I would see Brody and Julie is still being 370 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.319 together in some former fashion. So I guess we'll just 371 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.160 have to wait and see. You know, this is the 372 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.720 report that was out tonight. It sounds credible. We've heard 373 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.160 this before from other places it turned out out to 374 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:50.359 be true, so always, you know, read these things with 375 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.759 a grain of salt. But I don't see how anybody 376 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:56.079 could be shocked by this if it turns out to 377 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.279 be true, just like I wouldn't be shocked if we 378 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.680 heard the same thing about Miro or Keith Lee who's 379 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.680 had injury issues, and any number of people. You know, 380 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.559 at some point you just look at it and go, 381 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:12.200 maybe it's time to just part ways and go their 382 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.480 separate ways. And that's how I feel about Malachi Black. 383 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:23.359 Now we have Private Party, the aw World Tag Team Champions, 384 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.680 who do not make very many appearances on this television show. 385 00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.680 In fact, I don't think they've wrestled a single time 386 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.480 on Dynamite since they won the tag team titles from 387 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.319 the Young Bucks. And that was the end of October. 388 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.720 It is now almost mid January, if you could believe it. 389 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.519 I mean, it's the eighth but before you know it, 390 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.799 it's going to be mid January. But here they were 391 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.640 tag team champions on Dynamite. They come out, they're celebrating 392 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:53.400 their successful first title defense on Collision this past weekend, 393 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.359 and they're on stage. They're out there now with a 394 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.680 whole group of ladies. I don't know where they befriended 395 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.079 these ladies. Perhaps they are locals. Maybe they were hitting 396 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:09.160 up the local clubs and they said, hey, why don't 397 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:12.279 you come with us, We'll put you on TV. But 398 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.640 they had a group of girls with them, and they 399 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.640 come out on stage and they have this whole setup 400 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:20.559 like a club, and they have the red velvet rope 401 00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:26.519 and they have the security guard. So Isaiah Cassidy says, 402 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:29.720 it's time to celebrate. They got shots, they got drinks, right, 403 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:34.039 they're ready to celebrate. Outcomes the Hurt Syndicant and we 404 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:39.119 have MVP Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. They come out 405 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.640 on stage, they step over the velvet rope. MVP says 406 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:49.000 he wants to raise a toast to private party. Bobby 407 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.799 Lashley also he raises his shot glass and he says, 408 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:56.240 here's to the Hurt Syndicate taking those tag team titles. 409 00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.640 And Isaiah Cassidy when he heard that, he didn't like 410 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.400 that very much. So MVP lash Lee in Shelton, they 411 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.319 all poured their shots out. What a waste of liquor, 412 00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:08.599 and they start to make their way down to the 413 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.400 rink because Lashly has a match coming up, and so 414 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.279 Private Party were just left on stage, just standing there, 415 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:17.759 and that was the last that we saw of them. 416 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.119 So a rare Private Party appearance here on the show, 417 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.039 and it wasn't in a match. It's to set up 418 00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.839 clearly what is going to be a future match, and honestly, 419 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.359 if this is going to be a future match for 420 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.440 those tag team titles, it doesn't bode well for Private Party. 421 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.519 But I'll talk about that. Let's talk about this match first. 422 00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:38.799 Bobby Lashley. He went one on one, first time ever 423 00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:43.240 Bobby Lashley against Mark Briscoe. This was not a squash. 424 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.559 They gave brisco some hope spots here Lashe right away 425 00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:48.960 hit a spinning sit out dominator for an ear fall. 426 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.640 Briscoe battled back. He had some redneck kung fu, jumped 427 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.000 off the top rope into the clutches of Lashly and 428 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.720 he got launched to the floor and then Lashley went 429 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.880 out and steamrolled him with a pounce. After a break, 430 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:05.559 brisco mounted a comeback. He got cut off though as 431 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:09.480 Lashly hit a tackle, sent him hard off the himan. 432 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:12.079 He took a hell of a bump back first off 433 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:14.920 the apron. Lashley went out after him, but didn't realize 434 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.359 that Briscoe had gone underneath the ring, and he popped 435 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:20.880 Lashly with a chair unbeknownst to the referee, and then 436 00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:24.240 followed with a springboard dive. MDP is on commentary and 437 00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:27.720 he is flipping out. This is he cheated. This should 438 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:33.039 be a disqualification. How is this allowed? So Briscoe hit 439 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:35.680 a corkscrew moon salt from the top to the floor 440 00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:40.000 outside and then inside hit the froggy bow. Bobby Lashley 441 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.759 kicks out. Lashly dodged a corner charge, hit the spear, 442 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.640 hit a huge spinebuster, and then applied the hurt lock 443 00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.480 for the submission win. After the match, Shelton, Benjamin and 444 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:53.680 Lashley they attacked Briscoe until private party. They sprinted out 445 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.279 with chairs. They had a little bit of a face 446 00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.279 off and then the Hurt Syndicate retreated. So, like I said, 447 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:01.559 they gave Briscow's some hope spots here, but I mean 448 00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:05.920 the outcome was never in doubt. The Hurt Syndicate noticeably 449 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.200 still getting more cheers than Booze, even though they are 450 00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.400 being positioned very much as Heels on this show. The 451 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.279 fans they just they don't hate these guys. They like 452 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.119 cheering for them. This continues to be a consistent I 453 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:20.759 don't even want to say problem, but it continues to 454 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.440 be a consistent pattern no matter where they are, no 455 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:28.160 matter what building or city they may be in. You 456 00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:31.119 just hear more cheers than Booze for the Hurt Syndicate. 457 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.720 But are they going to take the tag team titles 458 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.720 off of Private Party already? That was my question coming 459 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.000 out of this, because if they're building to Shelton, Benjamin 460 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.119 and Bobby Lashley as a tag team, and they get 461 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.279 Private Party in a match, now, maybe they don't just 462 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:48.319 make the match. Maybe they have some I mean, look, 463 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.599 they love doing gauntlets. Tony Kahn loves his gauntlet matches. 464 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.519 It would not shock me if two weeks from now 465 00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.559 we get another Gauntlet. We had a men's gauntlet tonight, 466 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.279 a women's won next week. Would not shock me. If 467 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.640 we got a tag team Gauntlet or some kind of 468 00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:10.440 match and then Lashe and Shelton they win, and then 469 00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.599 by virtue of that win, they get a title match. 470 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:14.640 If they get a title match, they're winning the titles, 471 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.720 and it sucks for Private Party because if that's how 472 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.359 this goes, if they defend their titles once or twice 473 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.000 successfully and then lose them to Lashlee in Benjamin. While 474 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:28.640 that would be great for you know, Shelton Benjamin and 475 00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:32.880 Bobby Lashley, boy, would that be fucking terrible for Private Party. 476 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.359 I mean, these guys just never had a chance. So 477 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.720 I mean it's nice they're building up a program for them, 478 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:40.240 but I don't think this is going to end well 479 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:43.440 for them at all. And if they just turn around 480 00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.119 and take the belts off them, I mean, that's just 481 00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.000 it's just a failure of creative. It's a failure of 482 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:53.960 the tag team division right now that after five years, 483 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.319 you built at a little story for these guys that 484 00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.720 it took five years, but finally they win the tag 485 00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.680 team titles only to take the titles off of them 486 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.319 three months later, now three or four months. It's not 487 00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.680 like it's not like it's a week But you gotta 488 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.440 you know, context is important here. It's not like they've 489 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.359 had a lot of successful title defenses. It's not like 490 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:16.240 we get to see them on the main show every 491 00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:21.240 single week. Perception is everything, and the perception of these 492 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.519 guys right now, who are your tag team champions, is 493 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.640 that they don't belong in that position. People don't look 494 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:30.880 at them the way they look at the Bucks or 495 00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:33.880 FTR or any of these other teams because you have 496 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.319 not taken the time to build them up. You have 497 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:39.880 not taken the time to build up their credibility to 498 00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.319 try to get people to look at them that way. 499 00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.839 They never had a chance putting the belts on them. 500 00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:47.799 It's not like the belts are going to make the man. 501 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.200 I mean, that might be the idea here, but it's 502 00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.920 not working. So for their sake, I hope it doesn't 503 00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:58.880 just end like that. But I just don't see there 504 00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:01.039 being any other outcoming. If they go into that match, 505 00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:02.759 they do that match in a few weeks, I mean, 506 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.119 that's it. It's game over for Private Party. I'm sorry, 507 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.920 I don't see it going any other way for those two. 508 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.359 Speaking of gauntlets, we had the Casino Gauntlet match up next, 509 00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.960 with the winner getting an aw World Championship match on 510 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:23.039 the Maximum Carnage edition of Dynamite, which is next week 511 00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:28.559 so January fifteenth, and with his win last week in 512 00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:32.720 the Three Way match against Swerve, Strickland and Roderick Strong Switchblade. 513 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:34.839 J White got to enter here at number one, which 514 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.319 is important because in these gauntlet matches, the first fall 515 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.680 wins it. It's not a situation where we got ten 516 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.559 guys and the gauntlet doesn't officially start, you know, like 517 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.880 a rumble or something until all ten men have been called, 518 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:50.160 or like a war Games match. Right, it doesn't work 519 00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:55.240 that way. It doesn't work that way. First fall pinfaller's submission, 520 00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:58.519 and you win the gauntlet. So you want to be 521 00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:00.799 number one. The earlier you entered, the better your chances 522 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:05.240 are going to be. So Jay White was out first, 523 00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:10.480 and then second was Hangman Adam Page. What a coincidence? 524 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:15.200 How about that Hangman comes in after j White. So 525 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.400 they traded chops and punches. Hangman hit a shoulder block, 526 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.440 covered him for a one count only, and then he 527 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:24.359 went for a fallaway slam. He got cradled for a 528 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:28.039 two count, and then they traded some reversals on some 529 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:32.559 big moves and White hit a superplex. Both men were down, 530 00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.480 and now we get the countdown. I don't know what 531 00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:37.920 the intervals were, they weren't very long, maybe two minutes. 532 00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.599 So we got the countdown for the next competitor, which 533 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:47.559 was your favorite, Wheeler Dah. Wheeler DA has had more 534 00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:54.119 pay per view main event appearances than most of the 535 00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:58.240 names I mentioned before, like a Malachi Black and people 536 00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:00.599 who came over to this company who you would end 537 00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.880 up in the main events scene. Wheeler DA has had 538 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.680 technically more appearances during AW pay per view main events 539 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:15.039 than those guys. Sickening DA comes in. Now think about this. 540 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.839 DA is part of the Death Rider. So if Wheeler 541 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.839 Dah wins this gauntlet, he challenges John Moxley for the 542 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.400 AW World Championship next week. I assume the idea here 543 00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.519 is that he would lay down for him. You know, 544 00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.799 he's in there to try to give the Death Riders 545 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:35.640 a win so they could basically get out of this 546 00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:39.079 title match next week. The announcers didn't articulate that, but 547 00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.359 that's I assume that's the idea with him being in 548 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.400 this match. So he's the man who cost j White 549 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.759 the AW World title at World's End. As soon as 550 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:49.880 he gets into the ring, Jay White drops him with 551 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:53.519 a blade runner had him pinned. Hangman, though, comes over 552 00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:58.480 and breaks up the fall. Hangman lands a fallaway slam 553 00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.880 followed by Larryot in the corner. White fires back with 554 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.920 a big chop and then he delivers springboard lariots to Yuda. 555 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:10.680 The countdown begins. We get our next competitor into the match. 556 00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:16.079 We hear Swerve Strickland's theme song Who's House, and then 557 00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:19.799 it transitions into Ricochet's theme music, So we had a 558 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:25.920 little fake out there. Ricochet was out next. And last 559 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.000 week was the best thing they've done yet with Ricochet 560 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.079 because after all the mocking and people making fun of him, 561 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.720 especially Swerve, he got his revenge and he left Swerve 562 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.960 Strickland a bloody mess. He looked like a psychopath out there. 563 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:46.240 He's cackling at himself. Blood not even his blood, but 564 00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:48.839 blood all over his face, his white shirt, you know, 565 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.000 dress shirt. So it's a great angle. Last week exactly 566 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.480 what they needed to do with him coming out, coming 567 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.720 out of worlds End when he lost in the Continental 568 00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.880 Classic too Okata and then was of course draped in 569 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.160 toilet paper. Now he was also on the Wrestled Dynasty 570 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:05.160 card this weekend. He was in the main event. He 571 00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:09.000 headlined the Tokyo Dome against Zach Saber Junior. He was 572 00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:14.160 unsuccessful that show. Also only had sixteen thousand people in 573 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.440 the Tokyo Dome, so of course people now are joking. Well, 574 00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.279 that's what happens when you put Ricochet in the main 575 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.359 event of the Tokyo Dome. Of course, Kenny Omega was 576 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.200 on that show too, so you gotta be fair. But anyway, 577 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.680 so Ricochet comes out and he's out there doing Ricochet things. 578 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.359 Not a lot happened. Adam Cole is out next, and 579 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:35.960 the biggest thing that he did here was hit a 580 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:40.480 Panama Sunrise to Rikochet. Before we got an ext entrant, 581 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:46.279 the TNT champion, Daniel Garcia, who was out to what 582 00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:49.599 I wrote here, I just wrote two words, negative pop. 583 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:54.680 Like you know what a pop is? What is the antithesis? 584 00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:57.319 What is the opposite of a pop? It's a negative pop. 585 00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:02.279 It's no reaction. That's what Daniel Garcia, the TNT champion 586 00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:07.519 got when he came out. Powerhouse Hobbs was out next. 587 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:11.640 He did not get a negative pop. He launched Ricochet 588 00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:14.480 of the outside and he's rag dolling anybody in his path. 589 00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:18.680 He's rag dolling guys. Hangman mocked him and so Hobbs 590 00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:21.559 threw him just clear across the ring. And so before 591 00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.920 they go into a commercial break, Hobbs is in firm 592 00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:30.079 control of this match. Into the gauntlet. Next we had 593 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.880 Roderick Strong and he dishes out some backbreakers to almost everybody. 594 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.359 Ricochet finds himself surrounded and beaten down by Cole Strong 595 00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:44.160 and Daniel Garcia. Everybody starts hitting big moves. Jay White 596 00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.519 wanted a blade Runner, but again as with World's End, 597 00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:50.519 Wheeler Uda steals a win away from him with a 598 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:55.519 low blow. Number nine the murder Hog Monster Lance Archer, 599 00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:59.960 who never wins anything, but he's a big, scary, lie 600 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.799 looking guy. So he comes out and Wheeler you'da does 601 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:09.160 a dive out to the floor, but Archer is there 602 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.440 waiting for him. And Archer, of course I mean outweighs 603 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.079 him by probably one hundred fucking pounds. So here comes 604 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:17.759 you to out of the ring. He grabs him by 605 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.960 the throat on the way down choke slams him hard 606 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.240 onto the ring. Apron Archer kept up the choke slams 607 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.160 inside the ring and then took turns chucking Ricochet back 608 00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:31.480 and forth with Powerhouse Hobs. We got chance of meat 609 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.160 from the crowd and the two big men they went 610 00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.359 back and forth. They were selling power slams and boss 611 00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.480 man slams. Kyle O'Reilly entered at number ten again to 612 00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:47.400 a negative pop. Nobody Cared O'Reilly comes out, he beats 613 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:50.880 the hell out of Udah on stage. As soon as 614 00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.000 he came out of the tunnel, Wheeler was there, so 615 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.759 he's battering him with kicks, and the Undisputed Kingdom which 616 00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.759 now had three members in this match, we're using their 617 00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:07.559 strengthen numbers until Jeff Jarrett, the last outlaw who on 618 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:11.000 this television show last week told us that he had 619 00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:15.000 resigned what will be his final talent contract with AW, 620 00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:20.079 final talent contract of his career, and he wants to 621 00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:24.440 be the AW World Heavyweight Champion. If he wins this gauntlet, 622 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:28.039 he will get his title match against John Moxley next week. 623 00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.159 But you had to know that wasn't going to happen 624 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.559 because they're doing the long story with Jeff Jarett. This 625 00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:39.760 is their John Cena now, so they weren't going to 626 00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:42.800 blow this off in two weeks. But he comes out 627 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.320 at number eleven and he was immediately before he could 628 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:47.760 even get into the ring and get his jacket off, 629 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.800 he is immediately attacked by Wheeler Yudah in the aisle, 630 00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.840 and you wonder if that's under orders from John Moxley. 631 00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.119 So they fought off through the curtain to the back. 632 00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.039 They cut back to the ring the match continues, so 633 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.159 Jarrett never actually got into the match, but that left 634 00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.079 Archer and Garcia to fend off the undispeted Kingdom until 635 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.639 Hobbs just ran through them all. Archer wanted a blackout 636 00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:14.199 on Hobbs. He wiggled free, sent Archer to the outside. 637 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:17.559 Kyle fired off kicks. He ran into a big time spinebuster, though, 638 00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:19.880 and that allowed Powerhouse Hobbs to pick up the win, 639 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.960 the surprise win. We didn't even know who else was 640 00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:27.039 going to be in the fucking match anyway. All we 641 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.519 knew was that Jay White was number one and Jeff 642 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:31.559 Jarrett was going to be in it. That's all we knew. 643 00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:35.159 So I didn't even know if Hobbs was going to 644 00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.800 necessarily be in the match, And even when I saw 645 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.000 that he was, I didn't think he was going to win, 646 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.239 but he did, and that was refreshing. Now. Renee climbed 647 00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:46.199 into the ring to immediately when the match was over, 648 00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:52.559 she climbs into the ring to interview Hobbs, and she 649 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:54.760 asks him what it means to get a shot at 650 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.159 the title next week, and Hobbs said that Moxley is 651 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.559 the man who brought him into aw He just wants 652 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:03.639 to shoot straight. John Moxley is the one responsible for 653 00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:06.599 him being in this company. But next week he plans 654 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:09.119 on shocking the world. But not only that, he's gonna 655 00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:13.440 make John Moxley his bitch. And you should have seen 656 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:18.920 the look on Rene's face. She was so thoroughly offended 657 00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:25.199 and disgusted by this as she walked away. The gauntlet 658 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.920 itself I thought was fine. I didn't have as much 659 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:30.679 fun with this one as I have some of the 660 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.679 past ones they've done, but it's a great concept, just 661 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.400 the way they do it, the format generally, it's a 662 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.719 fun match. I just like I said, I didn't think 663 00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:41.159 this was as good as some of the other ones 664 00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:44.280 they've done. They gave them a lot of time though. 665 00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:47.480 They gave this twenty five minutes and we had eleven 666 00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.360 people called out, which is a pretty decent number. But 667 00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:54.840 for Hobbs, I say, good for him. To me, I 668 00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.920 was happy to see him, or you know, someone like him, 669 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.159 someone who I feel should be doing a lot more 670 00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:04.760 on this show, and isn't being the one to get 671 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.960 the nod here? So I like that. And now he's 672 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.639 headed for a rematch with John Moxley because the last 673 00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:12.559 time they set foot in the ring together was in 674 00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:16.159 April of last year. They had an IWGP World title 675 00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:19.000 match on Dynamite. This was right after Moxley beat Nito 676 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.159 in Chicago to win the IWGP title and he defended 677 00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.719 the title against it might have been a Daily's place 678 00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:28.239 now that I think about it, but he defended the 679 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:32.280 title against Hobbes. And in that match, Hobbs came charging 680 00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:35.480 into the corner and just the way his knee, I 681 00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:38.400 guess hit the bottom turnbuckle, I think it was he 682 00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:40.800 hurt his knee and it was clear as day that 683 00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:43.360 he was he was in pain, like something was wrong, 684 00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.719 and the match ended shortly thereafter, and then he was 685 00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.159 gone and he missed a very long time before he 686 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.599 came back in November. So what we need and they 687 00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.599 did mention this on commentary, but so what like, you 688 00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.719 got a week now to promote this match, that's all 689 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.159 you got. And what we need is a promo from 690 00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:06.880 Hobbes on Collision this weekend. Because that's all we have 691 00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:11.480 time for. We need a promo from him on Collision 692 00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:16.000 that brings up the fact that John Moxley, you may 693 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:17.760 have brought me into this company, and I have all 694 00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:20.280 the respect in the world for what you've done in 695 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:23.320 the past. What you've done lately, though, I have no 696 00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:25.920 respect for. But the last time you and I shared 697 00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:30.880 a ring, I got hurt. You hurt me. You cost 698 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:36.280 me seven months of my career last year. So now 699 00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:40.639 I'm coming for your championship. I'm costing you your title. 700 00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:43.400 That would be the gist of it. But I think 701 00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.920 we need something like that because that's the story. You 702 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.679 have a personal hook there, right, They had a match, 703 00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:51.639 he got hurt, and look at all the time he missed, 704 00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:53.880 and that's really all the time you have for as 705 00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:55.920 far as any kind of story. But I hope they 706 00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.039 take the chance on Collision this weekend to tell that story. 707 00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:04.079 We all know he's going in there to lose. Nobody expects. 708 00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.119 I don't care what you say. Nobody honestly, deep down 709 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:12.039 in your heart, believes for a second that Powerhouse Hobbs 710 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:14.639 is going to win that championship next week. Okay, I 711 00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:16.880 don't wear a hat here on this show. If I 712 00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.000 wore a hat, I would eat it. Okay, I would 713 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.159 eat my hat. If he wins the title on Dynamite 714 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:26.320 next week, it's not happening. So unfortunately, we already have 715 00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:29.400 the predictable outcome here. I mean, look, this is a 716 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.880 guy who couldn't beat the international champion at the last 717 00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.000 pay per view, So what makes you think he's going 718 00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:37.440 to go in there and beat the aw world champion here? 719 00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:41.400 You know, a couple months later. All he has to do, though, 720 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.800 is go out there have a good showing. I don't 721 00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:46.599 know what the what kind of match these two are 722 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:49.880 going to have, you know, with mox Leeds hit or 723 00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:51.480 miss A lot of it depends on who he's in 724 00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.880 the ring. With his death Rider stuff has been absolute, 725 00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:57.800 just fucking garbage. I still think it sucks. It's boring, 726 00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.960 and I'm just I'm waiting for something to happen. Whatever 727 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.159 that is cope and mocks. I guess that's what we're 728 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:06.800 gonna be getting soon. But something's got to give, something's 729 00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:09.719 got to change here. So whatever kind of match they're 730 00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:11.400 gonna have, Hobbs needs to go in there and have 731 00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:14.440 a good showing. And what they need to do. If 732 00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:19.039 they're smart, is they will spin another story off of 733 00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.280 this for him so that it isn't just a case 734 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.920 where he goes in there. Okay, yeah, he wrestled the champion, 735 00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:27.920 but he lost and that's it. That's it. We don't 736 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.079 see Hobbs on the show again. He's back to collision 737 00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:33.880 duty and we'll see him wrestling you know, fucking John 738 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:37.920 Skuyler or something. You know, like, there has to be 739 00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:40.239 and I don't know who it would be with, take 740 00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:41.920 your pick. I mean, there's any number of people on 741 00:40:41.960 --> 00:40:44.199 the roster he could work with, but there's got to 742 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.840 be some kind of a story for him coming out 743 00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:49.000 of this to at least keep him in the mix. 744 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:52.639 Him going in there and having a title match with 745 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:56.480 John Moxley, losing and then vanishing again does nothing for him, nothing. 746 00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:02.719 It would be death. So I hope they give him 747 00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:06.599 an opportunity to do something that will try to elevate 748 00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:09.840 him at least to that next level from where he 749 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:11.639 is right now. It's the best I can hope for 750 00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:15.719 because he's not winning the championship, but at least give 751 00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:19.960 him something to do going forward. Yeah, there were people 752 00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:23.159 who when the hurt syndicate formed said that Hobbs would 753 00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:27.119 be a great addition to the Hurt Syndicate. Yeah, I 754 00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:30.800 mean it would work. He would play second fiddle to 755 00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:34.280 Bobby Lashley automatically, but out of that you could potentially 756 00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:37.320 build to an eventual Lashly in Hobbs match, Like, yeah, 757 00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:40.519 you could do that. But I don't even necessarily think 758 00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:43.000 he needs to be part of a faction, right, He's 759 00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:46.719 an ass kicker. Just keep pushing him like that. But 760 00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:48.559 he's got to have people to work with. I don't 761 00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:51.880 just mean squash matches. He's got to have like stories 762 00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:55.079 and programs that he can be involved in. That's my 763 00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:57.320 only hope for him coming out of the match next week. 764 00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.719 But I was pleasantly surprised to see him pick up 765 00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:04.519 the win here now. As Hobbs was leaving, Jeff Jarrett 766 00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:09.679 walked back out and it was too late. The match 767 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.159 is over. Sorry, Double j. You get no title match 768 00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.920 next week. Hobbs put his hand out though the two 769 00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:19.239 of them shook hands, but Jarrett kept walking to the ring. 770 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:24.079 The camera followed him as he entered the ring, and 771 00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:26.480 then after a quick video that they aired hyping next 772 00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:30.039 week's match between Hook and Christian Cage. They came back 773 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.079 and Jarrett was in the ring with ian Ric Abonni 774 00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:35.199 and I didn't mention this before ian Rick Abonni. F 775 00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:37.920 I did a great job tonight. Ian Rickabonni is the 776 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.400 one who I think should be in that lead announcer 777 00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:43.559 position on this show. Now I know ex Caliber is 778 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.440 their guy. He's been there since day one. I don't 779 00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:48.639 even know if ian wants the spot. I know he 780 00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:51.440 didn't want the spot on Collision because he's got a 781 00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.480 shoot job and he wants the weekend to be with 782 00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:56.320 his family, So maybe he doesn't even want it. But 783 00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:01.440 he's great and I just I enjoy his commentary more 784 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:05.079 than ex Caliber. Ex Caliber can be very, very grating 785 00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:08.119 on my nerves. Ian Rickabonni does a tremendous job. I 786 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:10.360 wish he was in that spot on this show, but 787 00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:13.480 at least we got him for one week. So Rick 788 00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.480 Abonni is in the ring and he says they were 789 00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:22.119 all hoping for the storybook ending tonight in Tennessee, a 790 00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:26.440 state where Jarrett's family put professional wrestling on the map, 791 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:33.119 and Jarrett said, it's twenty twenty five and the last 792 00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:37.480 outlaw has to ask one question, does he still have 793 00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:42.000 what it takes to climb that mount? And before he 794 00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.840 could continue or answer his own question, he was interrupted 795 00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:50.639 by mjf's music, and MJF got in the ring and 796 00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.840 he called Ian a Bible thumping prick and told him 797 00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:56.079 to get out of his ring, so off he went. 798 00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:59.239 Then he introduced himself. He said, you know, I don't 799 00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:03.800 think that you and I have been properly introduced. And 800 00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:07.079 he said that he is the greatest aw world champion 801 00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:10.199 of all time, and he says that he wants his 802 00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.639 triple B back. But the world title scene right now 803 00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:17.519 seems to be a lot of hard work, said Powerhouse. 804 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:20.440 Hobbs is the number one contender because of Jarrett's failure. 805 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.800 Tonight couldn't get the job done because he got beaten 806 00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:29.000 up by he goes checks notes Wheeler udah, and you 807 00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:33.280 could hear people in the crowd laugh because it is obscene, okay, 808 00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:37.360 that anybody would be viciously attacked by Wheeler Uda. So 809 00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:41.119 he mocked him for that. Then you've got Adam Copeland, 810 00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:44.119 he said, in Christian Cage and Hangman page, and none 811 00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:46.159 of these men are worthy of holding his triple B. 812 00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:49.239 But he can think of one man who just might 813 00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.239 be a man that has beaten some of the biggest 814 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:57.039 icons in this sport. Twelve time world champion, a two 815 00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:02.599 time Hall of Famer Double J Jeff Jarrett JE Double 816 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:08.199 f JA, Double Ri, DOUBLET good old Double J. Not 817 00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:11.400 that he knew any of that personally. He said he 818 00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:14.719 had to google it because he's not a dinosaur. But kudos, 819 00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:18.239 he said his dad, Mjf's dad told him that he 820 00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:19.840 was a big fan of Jarrett's when he was a 821 00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:23.159 little kid, and he knows that Jarrett said that he 822 00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:25.360 wants to be a world champion. But with him signing 823 00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:30.719 that last contract, he said, the clock is ticking. He 824 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:34.079 then revealed that the contract he heard that the contract 825 00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:38.159 that Jarrett signed is only for one year, and it's 826 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:40.239 not a case where he wanted to sign a one 827 00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:44.880 year deal, but rather that's all that Pro Wrestling thinks 828 00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:49.199 he's got left to give. But hey, he's just telling 829 00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:52.440 the truth. He's not here to piss off Double Jam. 830 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.719 I'm not here to piss you off Double J. He's 831 00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:58.039 here to help him the way he sees it, He's 832 00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:01.519 only got one year to prove that. He's still one 833 00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:04.000 year to make sure that he proves himself and makes 834 00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:05.679 it back to the top of the mountain, and he 835 00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.960 can help him do that. All he asks is one 836 00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:13.119 tiny little favor when he helps him procure his triple B. 837 00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:18.400 He's first in line for a title shot, and he says, 838 00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:22.000 so you want to make a deal. Now, we just 839 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:25.360 heard from MJF last week on the show when he 840 00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:27.880 said that he's finally done with Adam Cole, thank god, 841 00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:31.000 and he wants his triple be back and he's going 842 00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:33.320 to go after the world championship. So I guess so 843 00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:35.440 this is the way I guess that he plans on 844 00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:42.239 getting Now. Why though, why would he need Jeff Jarrett 845 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:44.880 to get back his world title. I assume it's just 846 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:48.239 a case of him saying, well, I don't need him, 847 00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:50.559 but if he's going to challenge for the title, I 848 00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.400 may as well double my chances of becoming champion and 849 00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:55.920 buddy up to this guy. And so if he happens 850 00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:58.599 to beat me to the punch, I can get him 851 00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.400 to guarantee me being the first person in line for 852 00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:05.039 a title shot, then I guess that would make sense 853 00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:09.519 if that's the idea here. Jared said that MJF was 854 00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.519 the aw World heavyweight Champion, the longest ragning one of 855 00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.119 all time. But he's still too young to understand that. 856 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:17.679 You learn a lot more from your failures than you 857 00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:20.960 do from your successes. But that doesn't mean that he'll 858 00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.880 get there again, he said. Around here they call kids 859 00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:28.000 like MJF one hit wonders. He said, he knows the 860 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:30.880 road he's got to go down. He's been at rock bottom. Life, 861 00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:33.639 not just the wrestling business. Life, he said, has put 862 00:47:33.719 --> 00:47:36.079 him at rock bottom. But that gives him the chance 863 00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:37.920 to scratch and claw his way back to the top 864 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:41.239 of the mountain. Tonight MJF had the chance to enter 865 00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:45.039 the Casino Gauntlet, but instead he chose to come out 866 00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:49.239 here to scheme and connive. He's been on top twelve 867 00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:53.719 times and he's looking for number thirteen in twenty twenty five, 868 00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:56.840 and like that old expression goes, what a difference a 869 00:47:56.920 --> 00:47:59.719 year can make? He said, he's sure gonna make the 870 00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:02.320 most that of twenty twenty five. So it comes down 871 00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:05.880 to this. He doesn't need MJF and he's not buying 872 00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:09.280 what he's selling. And then he called him an entitled prick, 873 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:14.920 and Jarrett left the ring. I can't believe that we 874 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:20.519 have John Cena and Jeff Jarrett more or less doing 875 00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:25.599 the same story here in twenty twenty five. We just 876 00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:29.880 had John Cena on TV on Monday Night talking about how, guys, 877 00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:32.320 I don't think I could win number seventeen. Right, I'd 878 00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:35.679 love to, but I don't think it's gonna happen, unless, 879 00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.719 of course I can go in the Royal Rumble and 880 00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:40.840 win the Royal Rumble. Right, So now he's gonna go 881 00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.320 in the Royal Rumble. They're already. They just kicked off 882 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:46.159 on Monday Night the story of him going after number seventeen, 883 00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:50.000 and then forty eight hours later we have this promo 884 00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:53.599 from Jeff Jarrett. I mean, granted he cut the promo, 885 00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:57.480 the first promo last week, but he's doing the same thing. Right. 886 00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:00.199 He's got one year left, that's it, one year, just 887 00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:03.159 like Sina, this is it. He doesn't now or never. 888 00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:08.360 He wants to hold gold. He's had twelve times world champion. 889 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:13.559 He needs number thirteen. It's the same story now with 890 00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:17.159 John Cena. Johnsen is a much bigger star obviously, and 891 00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:20.880 he's got well, Jared's got ten years on him, I 892 00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:25.360 think exactly ten years. But basically we're getting the same 893 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:27.920 story in two different companies. So as this year progresses, 894 00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.079 it'll be very interesting because you can't help but compare 895 00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:32.840 the two and the Jarrett one. I think this is 896 00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:35.519 going to carry on for many months. Scene is gonna 897 00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:37.159 go all year. I don't know if the jarreted is going. 898 00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.320 They're gonna milk that until December. But we'll be able 899 00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:43.920 to follow these two stories now and see the differences 900 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.719 in how these two promotions and then have Triple H 901 00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:50.280 on one side and Tony Kah on the other. You know, 902 00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:57.039 take these these legends and push them and craft this 903 00:49:57.159 --> 00:49:59.920 story around them trying to be world champion. Which one 904 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:03.800 becomes world champion first between the two of them, it'd 905 00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:05.760 be very interesting to see how the two stories end 906 00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:09.360 up being different. Look, I wouldn't be surprised, number one. 907 00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:11.599 I wouldn't be surprised if this is something that MJF 908 00:50:11.639 --> 00:50:14.320 asked for, because I'm already seeing comments about I can't 909 00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:18.000 believe they have MJF doing this. Okay, I agree, I can't. 910 00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:21.239 I that this is the best thing that MJF could 911 00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:24.960 be involved with right now is ridiculous. Now it's one week. 912 00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:26.480 I don't know how long they're going to drag this 913 00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:29.480 out for clearly we're getting an MJF and Jeff Jarrett match, 914 00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.000 and I'm not even saying it's necessarily going to be 915 00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:37.079 a bad match. But I was so tired of MJF 916 00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.880 and Adam Cole that I think, while I think it's 917 00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:43.519 ridiculous that they have now transitioned from that to this, 918 00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:46.480 I think because I was so ready for that to 919 00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:50.239 be over with that this doesn't bother me as much 920 00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:53.800 because at least we are finally getting something different with MJF. 921 00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:57.119 This is not what I asked for, This is not 922 00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:59.639 what I was hoping for and expecting. But at least 923 00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:03.360 it's not Adam Cole, because I don't know that I 924 00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:05.880 could have taken another month or two of that story, 925 00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:09.840 like there's just no way. So at least it's something different. 926 00:51:10.599 --> 00:51:13.119 I didn't say it's great, but it's something different, okay. 927 00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:18.000 But also, Jeff Jarrett, I will say this, there is 928 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:20.719 a story to be told here. If Tony Kahan wants 929 00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.800 to tell this story, which clearly he does, and I 930 00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:27.800 could see people getting behind it. Jareded is very savvy. 931 00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.400 He's been doing this for a million years and now 932 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:34.760 he's in that elder statesman position where he knows how 933 00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:36.920 to go out there and get sympathy from the crowd 934 00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.719 and get the crowd to cheer for Like the days 935 00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:43.400 of him being a heel and you know, doing the 936 00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.400 slat nuts stuff and all that. That's in the past, right, 937 00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:51.239 this is now babyface veteran Jeff Jarrett, Hall of Famer 938 00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:54.360 Jeff Jarrett. And he's smart enough to know, he's been 939 00:51:54.360 --> 00:51:56.519 in this business for so long how to get the 940 00:51:56.559 --> 00:52:02.880 people to rally behind him. MJF is really good at 941 00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:05.880 getting heat. He knows how to piss people off, he 942 00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:09.239 knows how to get people to hate him, and one 943 00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:11.440 way to do that is to heal on the legend 944 00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:15.360 that people want to cheer for. So I think it's 945 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:17.960 a dynamic that could work here. And because of that, 946 00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:20.519 I think when they do the eventual match, it may 947 00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:23.239 actually turn out to not be a bad match. Right, 948 00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:27.239 But again, that's not the issue. Whatever this is, whatever 949 00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:29.800 this is gonna be, I hope they transition away from 950 00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:32.719 it quickly because the fact that MJF, since he's come back, 951 00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:35.840 has been trapped in a dead feud with Adam Cole 952 00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:40.599 and now he's in a program seemingly with fucking Jeff Jarrett, 953 00:52:41.599 --> 00:52:44.039 and to think that MJF was like the crown jewel 954 00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:46.920 that Tony Kahan the Bidding War of twenty twenty four. Right, 955 00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:50.480 everybody's going to be going after MJF and all the 956 00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:54.360 buzz around him right as we headed into last year, 957 00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:58.719 and where did it all go. It's like, I mean, 958 00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:02.519 it's like that never even happened. So then he was 959 00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:05.119 filming a movie role. He wasn't on television every week, 960 00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:08.639 but he doesn't feel like one of the top stars 961 00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:13.119 in the company. Talk about Kenny Omega, we talk about 962 00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:17.239 will Ospray, John Moxley. There he is. Five years later, 963 00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:20.199 he's still at the top of the heat, world champion 964 00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:24.719 fucking four times. This guy MJF. It's like he just 965 00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:26.599 feels like another guy in the card and that has 966 00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:30.719 to change quickly. He's got to be doing more than 967 00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:33.840 just this. I was encouraged last week when he finally said, hey, 968 00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:35.400 you know what, I think I want to get my 969 00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:40.239 world title back. Good. I'm surprised it took six months 970 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:43.960 for him to remember that. But this is not what 971 00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:46.960 I had in mind here. But I'll keep an open 972 00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:49.320 mind as far as the actual match because I think 973 00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:52.719 the dynamic between the two of them could work. But 974 00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:55.519 I just I can't bring myself to get excited about 975 00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:01.920 this Jeff Jared story. I just can't. You want to 976 00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:04.119 tell that as a little side story, that's one thing, 977 00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.559 but like now he's in there with MJF and how 978 00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:09.800 long is this going to go on for. It's just 979 00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:15.840 you can't fake enthusiasm for something if you're not into it. 980 00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:20.480 But that doesn't mean that it can't work. And like 981 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:22.519 I said, I'm just happy that we are done with 982 00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:25.599 MJF and the Undisputed Kingdom. That at least is a 983 00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:29.840 plus take. I'll take my victories here where I can 984 00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:36.840 get them. It was time to cope. Are you guys 985 00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.719 ready to cope? Adam Copeland was out to the ring 986 00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:45.599 next by himself for promo and he gets in the 987 00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:48.639 ring and he says that while he was gone, you know, 988 00:54:48.679 --> 00:54:51.639 with his injury, Moxley and the Death Riders, they took 989 00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:56.079 out Brian Danielson possibly for good. They took out Darby Allen. Recently, 990 00:54:56.559 --> 00:54:59.760 they also tried to take out FTR and it just 991 00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:03.760 so what happens that FTR are really good close personal 992 00:55:03.800 --> 00:55:08.039 friends of his. He says, that was a massive mistake. 993 00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:13.480 Moxley has said the guys like Orange Cassidy and Hangman 994 00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:16.599 and Switchblade and Darby, they don't have what it takes 995 00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:21.760 for the grind to be the champion. And he disagrees 996 00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:24.719 with that, and that no one has fought through what 997 00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:26.880 he has fought through just to be standing here in 998 00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:29.199 this ring. And he will die on that hill. He said, 999 00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:32.840 well he may. He may die in the ring if 1000 00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:34.519 he has another one of those dives off the top 1001 00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:37.559 of a cage. Hopefully we never see that again. But 1002 00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:40.519 he said, he's a different animal entirely from anybody else. 1003 00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:42.360 He goes, you're looking at a man who broke his 1004 00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.400 neck in a match with Eddie Guerrero, and what did 1005 00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:47.679 he do? He got up and he wrestled another twenty 1006 00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:51.719 minutes and he won that match. He's a man who 1007 00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:55.119 wrestled Malachi Black in a barbed wire steel cage match, 1008 00:55:56.119 --> 00:55:58.880 and what did he do? He said, he wrestled for 1009 00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:01.360 another ten minutes and then he won that match. So 1010 00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:05.159 please Moxley, as much as he knows how tough Moxley is, 1011 00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:08.679 please enlighten me. What can you do to me that 1012 00:56:08.760 --> 00:56:13.599 hasn't been done before? Death Riders music hit. They took 1013 00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:18.800 their sweet ass time coming through the crowd. Moxley, Uda, Claudio, 1014 00:56:19.159 --> 00:56:24.480 no Marina Shaffir, still no Pack. But they took so 1015 00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:28.119 long that before they could even hop over the barricade 1016 00:56:28.159 --> 00:56:31.719 to ringside, they get ambushed from behind by FTR. So 1017 00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:36.719 the Babyfaces for a change set a trap. Copeland joined 1018 00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:38.480 in on the attack and got Moxley in the ring. 1019 00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:42.000 But then Marina Shaffir did show up to distract Copeland, 1020 00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:45.000 and then Pack showed up. We haven't seen Pack in weeks. 1021 00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:48.679 Pack showed up. He attacked from behind. Now Copeland was 1022 00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:51.360 all alone in the ring as Moxley slowly choked him 1023 00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:56.360 out with the bulldog choke, and out he went. Moxley 1024 00:56:56.440 --> 00:56:59.280 asks Marina Shaffir for the plastic bag. So we're about 1025 00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:03.679 we're about to get yet another smothering here on aw television. 1026 00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:08.760 But back out comes Powerhouse Hobbs and he takes his time. 1027 00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:11.719 He just looks like a total badass coming down to 1028 00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:14.920 the ring, so much so that the Death Riders retreat. 1029 00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:18.840 And this is what I mean, like you want perceptionist reality, 1030 00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:21.159 and you want to in the one week that you 1031 00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:25.880 have build up Hobbs to the best of your ability 1032 00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:30.400 as someone who is just this intimidating monster who even 1033 00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:32.440 the Death Riders really don't want to have any part of. 1034 00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:37.719 They backed off here. They wanted no part of this man, 1035 00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:42.159 and that's how the segment ended. They didn't give any 1036 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:45.719 kind of clarity on you know, when they might be 1037 00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:48.079 doing Moxley and Copeland. I have to imagine that's going 1038 00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:51.679 to be the title match on the fifteenth next month 1039 00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:56.400 in Australia. I would think Moxley is defending his title 1040 00:57:56.400 --> 00:57:57.760 on that show, and if he is, it's going to 1041 00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:03.679 be against Copeland. Mariah May was backstage pre Ta promo here. 1042 00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:06.199 She was talking about the women's casino gaulet match next 1043 00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:08.519 week and she tells all the women competing to dance 1044 00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:11.800 like the marionettes they are before she cuts their strings 1045 00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:16.519 and burns them alive. Might not be the best uh 1046 00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:22.639 thing to be, saying Harley Cameron. She screams her way 1047 00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.480 into the shot and said that she wants to give 1048 00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:29.440 the fans an appetizer. On collision, Mariah said, look, you're 1049 00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:32.440 not getting a title shot, and Harley said that's fine. 1050 00:58:33.159 --> 00:58:35.880 It could be non title and she said, just some 1051 00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:40.280 hot girl graps. I like the sound of that. I'm 1052 00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:43.719 okay with that. Don't you want some hot girl graps? 1053 00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:46.400 I'm cool with that. So they're going to have that. 1054 00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:51.480 They made that official for Collision this weekend. Mariah is great. 1055 00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:54.079 I think Harley Cameron is great. I've talked about her 1056 00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:57.239 a little bit recently. She's just got this great personality 1057 00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.719 for television. Like in the ring. Even in the she's 1058 00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:05.519 perfectly fine and she could work, but she just has 1059 00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:08.920 this charisma to her that not a lot of people have, 1060 00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:12.079 and I think that it will carry her very far, 1061 00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:17.199 whether it's in this company or another company. But they 1062 00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:19.599 should definitely be doing more with her. We don't get 1063 00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.159 to see her on Dynamite very often, so it was 1064 00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:23.880 nice to see her pop up on this show for 1065 00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:30.280 a change. We had a three way match with Tony Storm, 1066 00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:33.159 Chris Statlander, and Willow Nightingale. This is fresh off the 1067 00:59:33.199 --> 00:59:35.360 four way that Willow was in at the Tokyo Dome 1068 00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:38.800 at wrestled Dynasty that she did not win. This was 1069 00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:41.679 for the right to enter next week's Women's Casino Gauntlet 1070 00:59:41.719 --> 00:59:44.480 Match in the number one spot. They did not get 1071 00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:47.559 nearly as much time as the Gauntlet match did, but 1072 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:49.519 they made the most of the time that they did have. 1073 00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:52.679 This was good. Storm kept getting tossed out to the floor, 1074 00:59:53.199 --> 00:59:55.119 and she finally put a stop to it with a 1075 00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:58.519 crossbody off the top onto both women. Storm tried to 1076 00:59:58.559 --> 01:00:01.679 sunset flip at one point on Chris Statlander. She didn't budge, 1077 01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:05.400 and Statlander just stood there and she starts flexing right. 1078 01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:09.960 She's standing there completely oblivious to the fact that Willow 1079 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:14.199 comes up from behind and she delivers a slingshot that 1080 01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:18.800 Tony is still underneath Statlander's legs. Willow gives her a slingshot, 1081 01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:23.039 and so what we got here? That sent Tony Storm 1082 01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:28.519 face first up into Statlander's crotch for the low blow. 1083 01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:34.039 It's the wildest low blow I've ever seen. Chris Statlander 1084 01:00:34.079 --> 01:00:38.199 got a face full of Tony Storm down in her 1085 01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:47.000 nether regions. Queue up the doves ziggler meme. You know 1086 01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:49.039 you're thinking it, you may as well. You may as 1087 01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:54.039 well que it up. Queue up the dollve ziggler meme. Hey, OMG, 1088 01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:57.000 I love you too, says I love you solo, I 1089 01:00:57.079 --> 01:01:00.320 love you too. Where are we at on the likes 1090 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:03.000 by the way, for be the booker, I don't know. 1091 01:01:03.039 --> 01:01:08.039 It's not looking good. So Tony tried for the crossbody again, 1092 01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:11.639 but this time she got caught Willow and Chris. They 1093 01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:15.199 did a double fallaway slam. Statlander tried to offer a 1094 01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:19.320 handshake to Willow, but Storm cut them both off, and 1095 01:01:19.360 --> 01:01:23.360 then a three way slugfest ensued. Tony delivered a head butt, 1096 01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:26.119 Willow hit the discus lariot, and we got a triple down. 1097 01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:32.320 All three ladies down on the mat. Statlander back dropped 1098 01:01:32.320 --> 01:01:34.840 out of Storm zero. She hit a shotgun dropkick, but 1099 01:01:34.920 --> 01:01:38.320 as she charged in, Willow met her with a pounce 1100 01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:42.000 out of nowhere. Tony hit the Sweet Cheek music the Statlander. 1101 01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:45.000 Willow hit a cannon ball on both before laying out 1102 01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:48.880 Storm with a DVD for two. Tony avoided the chaos 1103 01:01:48.920 --> 01:01:52.320 theory Nightingalevo was there to hit a double German souplex. 1104 01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:57.880 Statlander countered the doctor bomb with a jawbreaker. Willow Willow 1105 01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:04.199 love Willow. Willow hits a German on Chris, who hits 1106 01:02:04.199 --> 01:02:07.880 a German on Tony. At the same time, Storm with 1107 01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:10.000 a roll up on Willow. Chris, though breaks it up. 1108 01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:13.639 Willow got sent out to the floor and Statlander drops 1109 01:02:13.679 --> 01:02:16.760 Tony Storm with Saturday Night Fever and gets the win. 1110 01:02:18.559 --> 01:02:23.039 After the match, Renee was backstage with Tony Storm, a 1111 01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:27.000 dejected Tony Storm who said that she gave it her all, 1112 01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:30.519 but clearly she is not ready yet. She says that 1113 01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:32.719 it was an honor to be in there with Statlander 1114 01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:35.400 and Willow, but she is going to keep working hard 1115 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:40.320 because right now it is not Tony time. She said 1116 01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:46.400 that she was talking here like she possibly is not 1117 01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:49.880 going to be in the Gauntlet match next week. I 1118 01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:52.280 cannot imagine that she not only that she's not in 1119 01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:54.119 the match, but that she doesn't win the match, because 1120 01:02:54.119 --> 01:02:55.960 the winner of the Gauntlet next week is gonna get 1121 01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:58.679 Mariah May and a shot at the women's world title 1122 01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:01.800 in Australia at Grand Slam. How could that not be 1123 01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:03.639 the match? Of course, it's going to be the match. 1124 01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:07.480 Gotta be Mariah May and Tony Storm. So she will 1125 01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:09.360 be in the Gauntlet next week and I'm sure she's 1126 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:12.079 gonna win. Look, Jay White won a triple threat match 1127 01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:14.280 last week for the number one spot in the Gauntlet 1128 01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:18.440 match tonight and he failed. So even though Chris Statlander 1129 01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:20.760 won the number one spot, that doesn't mean she's winning 1130 01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:24.480 next week, Tony Storm is gonna win. She's gonna go 1131 01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:27.599 to Grand Slam. And it's one of two things. I mean, 1132 01:03:27.679 --> 01:03:30.280 either she's gonna come out of this amnesia that she's 1133 01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:33.760 had or I tend to think that we come to 1134 01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:37.119 find out this was all put on again. This is 1135 01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:41.559 this is the best performance in the career of timeless 1136 01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:47.239 Tony Storm, and she'll probably win back the Women's World title. See. 1137 01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:49.599 I was kind of hoping they would build here in 1138 01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:52.920 twenty twenty five to a title match with Mariah May 1139 01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:55.800 and Jamie Hayter. You know, maybe by like double or 1140 01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:58.719 nothing time, because they've done nothing with Jamie Hayter. Now 1141 01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:01.400 they have her feeting with Hart. That's like the biggest 1142 01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:03.960 thing they've done with her. She's been back since August. 1143 01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:08.719 They have done fucking nothing with Jamie Hayter. So now 1144 01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:10.199 you got to you have to take your time and 1145 01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:12.599 really kind of get her back into the mix before 1146 01:04:12.639 --> 01:04:14.760 you could do anything with her. Yeah, there's a lot 1147 01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:16.880 of talk about who's gonna take the TBS title away 1148 01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:20.440 from Mercedes. A lot of people have floated Athena's name. 1149 01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:23.719 You can do that match maybe in Texas at all 1150 01:04:23.719 --> 01:04:27.199 in but of course you would have to believe that 1151 01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:29.400 Athena is gonna end up on the women's roster in 1152 01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:33.400 aw which you're not fucking fooling me with that. I'll 1153 01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:36.360 believe it when I see it. I tend to look 1154 01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:38.039 at that and go Jamie Hater could be a good 1155 01:04:38.039 --> 01:04:40.679 option for the TBS title, if not the Women's world title. 1156 01:04:40.719 --> 01:04:44.199 You could do Jamie Hayter unseating Mercedes, but you have 1157 01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:47.840 to build to it, so they need to start doing that. 1158 01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:51.159 The fact that Jamie Hater, she's another example, and she's 1159 01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:54.480 not like an EXWWE talent, she's like an aw original. 1160 01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:57.719 But she's another one where she got hurt. She was 1161 01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:00.199 gone for a very long time, and so she he's 1162 01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:04.880 now been back for months and they've done nothing to 1163 01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:08.280 try to heat her back up, to try to get 1164 01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:10.480 her back to a position that she was in before. 1165 01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:13.920 She was so over before and now she's so cold, 1166 01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:17.519 and I just don't know. We're in January now and 1167 01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:22.400 they're not doing anything to build her up for the future. 1168 01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:26.360 So Tony Storm may well go in there and beat 1169 01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:29.199 Mariah May next month. Even Tony Storm, like Tony Storm 1170 01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:30.840 is the one who beat Jamie Hater to win the 1171 01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:32.760 title in the first place. You could build to Tony 1172 01:05:32.800 --> 01:05:35.639 Storm and Jamie Hayter. But my point is they're not 1173 01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:38.760 doing anything to build Jamie Hayter. That should be one 1174 01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:42.000 of Tony Kahan's priorities, not his number one priority, but 1175 01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:44.519 that you made a list of like top ten creative 1176 01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:48.559 priorities here like that that's up there on the list. Okay, 1177 01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:51.960 she was that popular at one point that he needs 1178 01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:53.639 to find a way to heat her back up again. 1179 01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:56.960 This shouldn't be hard. I don't know. I don't know 1180 01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:01.000 what he's waiting for. I really don't. This week's episode 1181 01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:05.320 is sponsored by Express VPN. Imagine you're taking your first 1182 01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:07.519 vacation of the new year. You want to get away 1183 01:06:07.519 --> 01:06:10.039 to a warmer climate for the winter. You're headed for 1184 01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:12.400 Parts Unknown, and you ignore the flight crew as they're 1185 01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:15.519 doing their usual safety demonstration. You don't think anything is 1186 01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:17.639 going to happen, but what if it does? What if 1187 01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:20.840 the worst happens and that yellow mask it drops down 1188 01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:23.880 from the overhead and you start to panic because you 1189 01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:26.159 weren't paying attention and you have absolutely no idea what 1190 01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:29.760 to do. That's what it's like going online with that ExpressVPN. 1191 01:06:30.119 --> 01:06:32.360 Most of the time, you'll probably be fine, But is 1192 01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:35.639 it really worth the risk? I don't think so. Every 1193 01:06:35.639 --> 01:06:38.119 time you connect to an unencrypted network in an airport, 1194 01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:41.320 a hotel, a cafe, your online data is not secure. 1195 01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:44.000 Any hacker on that same network can gain access to 1196 01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:46.679 and steal your personal data. All you need is some 1197 01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:49.360 cheap hardware. A twelve year old could do it. Hackers 1198 01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:51.599 make up to one thousand dollars per person selling your 1199 01:06:51.599 --> 01:06:55.079 personal info on the dark web.

They closed the show with 1217 01:07:52.920 --> 01:07:56.960 the return of Kenney Omega, who already had the match 1218 01:07:56.960 --> 01:08:01.039 of the year this past weekend at wrestled Dynasty. If 1219 01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:03.639 you didn't see that match, they had him and Gabe 1220 01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:06.559 Kid had just an outstanding man. I got a full 1221 01:08:06.599 --> 01:08:08.599 review of both shows up on the channel right now. 1222 01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:11.239 If you missed it, and if you didn't see the 1223 01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:14.199 shows or you're not really that into New Japan, go 1224 01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:16.159 listen to the review anyway. I'll get you caught up 1225 01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:19.760 on everything. It was just a great match, and Kenny 1226 01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:24.680 was in his Tokyo Dome form, his final form, and 1227 01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:28.239 it was great to see. But he entered here to 1228 01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:31.399 the new music that he debuted at the Tokyo Do 1229 01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:33.199 and he came out to new music on that show, 1230 01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:37.199 which is not as good as his aw music, but 1231 01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:40.359 this one it has kind of a and I know 1232 01:08:40.439 --> 01:08:41.840 he's a big fan of it, so I guess I'm 1233 01:08:41.840 --> 01:08:44.079 not surprised, but he kind of has like a final 1234 01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:47.920 fantasy vibe to it. I don't know, I don't know 1235 01:08:47.960 --> 01:08:49.640 if it has a name or anything like that, but 1236 01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:53.000 that's the vibe it gives me. But he got a 1237 01:08:53.000 --> 01:08:56.000 great reception he gets in the ring, and he said 1238 01:08:56.039 --> 01:09:00.319 that that reception is not making this any easier than you. 1239 01:09:01.960 --> 01:09:04.920 He looked very sad, like I'm just sitting here going, 1240 01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:07.239 You're not fooling me with this shit. It was almost 1241 01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:08.840 like he wanted you to think, oh my god, is 1242 01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:11.119 he out here to announce his retirement. I'm like, I 1243 01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:14.279 just saw the show this weekend, Like, you're not fooling me. Okay, 1244 01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:17.479 you're not fooling me. This is the same Kenny Omega. 1245 01:09:17.560 --> 01:09:23.279 He's back. Don't give me this bullshit. Nice try, but 1246 01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:24.920 he said it was a little over a year ago 1247 01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:28.920 that he checked himself into the hospital and he found 1248 01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:33.800 out that he had diverticulitis. And for those who don't 1249 01:09:33.800 --> 01:09:38.079 know what diverticulitis is, it took two feet of his 1250 01:09:38.159 --> 01:09:42.920 intestines from him and if he hadn't checked himself into 1251 01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:46.479 the hospital when he did, his doctor told him that 1252 01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:49.960 he would have been dead. And that's a shoot he 1253 01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:52.439 was very, very sick. You could see it, like if 1254 01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:54.640 you go I'm almost positive that. It was the last 1255 01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:57.760 segment that he had on TV before he got checked 1256 01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:01.000 into the hospital. He was doing the Golden Jets thing. 1257 01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:03.520 Him and Jericho were going to challenge and probably win 1258 01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:05.560 the tag team titles at the World's end. So the 1259 01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:08.199 match never happened, but they came out for a promo 1260 01:10:08.279 --> 01:10:12.359 on Dynamic. He looked terrible. I mean, I'm not going 1261 01:10:12.439 --> 01:10:15.079 to say like looking at him, I was like, oh 1262 01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:17.199 my god, he looks like he's dying. But he did 1263 01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:19.800 not look good at all. And if you go back, 1264 01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:22.800 you could tell something was very wrong with him. Something 1265 01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:26.000 was off, but nobody knew just how off it was. 1266 01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:29.600 And it was very serious, Like had he waited, it's 1267 01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:31.640 very possible he wouldn't be here right now. That's how 1268 01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:35.319 serious it was. So this year, he said, has been 1269 01:10:35.359 --> 01:10:40.159 a rollercoaster ride. But after a successful surgery, he had 1270 01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:44.960 two questions. Number one, he asked the doctor how long 1271 01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:49.279 is the recovery going to be? And number two, when 1272 01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:53.039 can I get back in the ring? And the doctor 1273 01:10:53.079 --> 01:10:57.920 gave him a very sobering answer. The doctor said, Kenny, 1274 01:10:58.000 --> 01:10:59.960 you'll be lucky if you just are able to return 1275 01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:03.119 into a normal life, let alone like get back in 1276 01:11:03.159 --> 01:11:07.600 the ring and wrestle. So being a pro wrestler and 1277 01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:10.960 doing what they do, you push things a little too hard. 1278 01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:14.039 And so he ended up back in the hospital four 1279 01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:17.359 more times, for four more weeks at a time, and 1280 01:11:17.439 --> 01:11:21.359 he questioned, can I even do this anymore? Can I 1281 01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:24.880 even do this anymore? And he can't lie. There was 1282 01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:26.760 a moment where he felt like giving up was the 1283 01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:30.880 safest option, and once he considered that option, he realized, 1284 01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:34.640 what purpose does he even have on this planet if 1285 01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:37.439 he doesn't have the fans with him. A few days ago, 1286 01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:41.479 he found his purpose in Tokyo, Japan, just like he 1287 01:11:41.560 --> 01:11:43.760 found his purpose here tonight, and that is if he 1288 01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:46.680 is not in the ring every single week, giving us 1289 01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:49.439 everything that he has, then he is just not living. 1290 01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:52.600 So even though he might not be the same guy, 1291 01:11:53.039 --> 01:11:56.279 this new version of Kenny Omega that is not concerned 1292 01:11:56.319 --> 01:12:01.720 about money, he's not concerned about power, not concerned about revenge, 1293 01:12:02.520 --> 01:12:06.399 he can still prove. And then he got cut off, 1294 01:12:08.399 --> 01:12:14.359 got cut off by Don Callus's music. Callous walked out 1295 01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:17.560 with a microphone says, well, look who's back. From the 1296 01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:19.880 debt like he didn't even get the word dead out 1297 01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:23.159 before Omega. He jumped out of the ring. He sprinted 1298 01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:26.840 out of this ring. It it's a short eyeway, but 1299 01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:30.159 sprinted out of the ring down the aisleway and got 1300 01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:34.039 his hands on Callous until Brian Cage and Lance Archer 1301 01:12:34.119 --> 01:12:37.680 came out to rescue him, and then they double teamed Omega. 1302 01:12:37.840 --> 01:12:40.880 They took him into the ring. Kyle Fletcher showed up 1303 01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:43.880 and so now it was three on one and Brian 1304 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:47.479 Cage delivered a body blow to Omega right into his 1305 01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:52.800 previously diverticulitis infested and tested. He just struck him right 1306 01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:57.119 in the ribs and the announcer sold a big will 1307 01:12:57.159 --> 01:12:59.680 Osprey's music hits. He runs out with a chair. He 1308 01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:02.760 fighted off the Callus family and then he's standing in 1309 01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:06.520 the ring with the chair. Slowly turns to look at Omega. 1310 01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:09.760 Omega looks at him, Osprey drops the chair. We get 1311 01:13:09.800 --> 01:13:11.359 a face to face with them in the middle of 1312 01:13:11.399 --> 01:13:16.479 the ring. Tense standoff, and that's how they went off 1313 01:13:16.479 --> 01:13:20.479 the air. Two men who have been wronged by Don 1314 01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:25.079 Callous in the past. Although they didn't look united, they 1315 01:13:25.079 --> 01:13:27.680 didn't look very happy with each other, but they very 1316 01:13:27.760 --> 01:13:30.399 quickly in running down the card for next week, added 1317 01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:34.199 that Tony Kahan just announced that I guess Tony Shavani 1318 01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:36.199 wasn't there, so we couldn't have Shava. I'm being told 1319 01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:38.920 of my ear by Tony Khan. But they said Tony 1320 01:13:39.000 --> 01:13:41.359 Khan had relayed the message that it's going to be 1321 01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:44.239 Kenny Omega in ring next week against Brian ka which 1322 01:13:44.239 --> 01:13:48.439 is great. It's great because this is what I was 1323 01:13:48.479 --> 01:13:51.279 hoping for. I was not so much interested in Kenny 1324 01:13:51.319 --> 01:13:54.119 Omega coming back and then making appearances here and there. 1325 01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:57.279 We need Omega back in the ring now, like he 1326 01:13:57.319 --> 01:13:59.399 doesn't even have to wrestle every week. We need him 1327 01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:01.600 back in the ring out. We need to get him 1328 01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:04.239 back in the mix now, so they're not wasting any time. 1329 01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:05.880 He's going to be back in the ring next week 1330 01:14:06.680 --> 01:14:10.479 against Brian Cage. I love, by the way, how he's 1331 01:14:10.520 --> 01:14:14.359 out there saying I'm not back for revenge, and then 1332 01:14:14.399 --> 01:14:17.239 a moment later he's sprinting out of the ring towards 1333 01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:20.600 Don Kallas to get his revenge, to get his revenge 1334 01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:24.439 on the men who wronged him. So a little bit 1335 01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:29.119 hypocritical there, I would say, But I you know, with 1336 01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:31.600 that comment though, I wasn't even thinking about don Kallis, 1337 01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:33.439 I was thinking about the Elite, and it made me 1338 01:14:33.479 --> 01:14:35.840 wonder if this is their way of effectively writing that 1339 01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:38.560 off at the time being, because you would think, like 1340 01:14:38.960 --> 01:14:41.079 the last time we saw him on TV, he was 1341 01:14:41.119 --> 01:14:44.199 laid out by the elite. They tried to They tried 1342 01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:46.600 to kill the guy, right, Jack Perry and the Bucks 1343 01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:49.600 and Okada, And we know we got the little teas 1344 01:14:49.640 --> 01:14:52.119 with Okada, so clearly they're building to something with him 1345 01:14:52.119 --> 01:14:55.279 and Okada for all In. But all In is not 1346 01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:58.520 for another seven months, So what do you do with 1347 01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:00.760 him in the interim? Does he go after Jack Perry? 1348 01:15:00.840 --> 01:15:02.920 He might. I'm not saying they won't have a match 1349 01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:05.319 at some point, but it felt to me like this 1350 01:15:05.439 --> 01:15:07.720 was their way of kind of getting away from that 1351 01:15:07.840 --> 01:15:10.239 by having him say, look, I'm not here to settle scores. 1352 01:15:10.239 --> 01:15:14.000 I'm not here for revenge. So that's why we don't 1353 01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:16.640 see him immediately going back after the elite. But the 1354 01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:19.880 elite's not there. That's the thing, Like the Bucks are 1355 01:15:19.960 --> 01:15:22.359 him back yet, and when the Bucks come back, they're 1356 01:15:22.359 --> 01:15:27.399 probably gonna be babyfaces. Okada wasn't there tonight. I'm assuming 1357 01:15:27.520 --> 01:15:29.800 Jack Perry because he was on the Wrestled Dynasty card. 1358 01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:31.520 He I don't know if he's back in the States 1359 01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:33.640 or not. I would imagine he is, but who gives 1360 01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:38.000 a shit. But I wonder if that line was in 1361 01:15:38.039 --> 01:15:40.359 there for that purpose, because they're not planning on going 1362 01:15:40.399 --> 01:15:43.279 back to that. So let's just let's just try to 1363 01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:48.319 explain why Kenny Omega is not back in a fit 1364 01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:52.680 of rage to get his revenge on Jack Perry. But 1365 01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:55.079 it's great to have him back on TV. I think 1366 01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:57.960 here's what I think the play is. The play is 1367 01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:00.560 not Omega and Ospra. They wanted you to think that 1368 01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:04.279 the play for Grand Slam in Australia is one of 1369 01:16:04.319 --> 01:16:08.079 two things. It's either Omega and Fletcher or a tag 1370 01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:11.359 team match with Omega and Osprey as a tag team 1371 01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:17.039 against Fletcher and Kenoski Takeshta and I'm kind of leaning 1372 01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:19.960 towards the tag match because otherwise I don't know what 1373 01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:23.640 Osprey does, so I think that's what we're headed for. 1374 01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:27.079 It's like I said, Omega and Fletcher, I could see that, 1375 01:16:27.159 --> 01:16:29.000 but I think we're heading for a tag team match 1376 01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:32.279 on that show. So on the whole I mean, I 1377 01:16:32.279 --> 01:16:34.279 thought the show. I thought it was a good show tonight, 1378 01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:38.119 better than last week. And the biggest thing, the biggest 1379 01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:41.119 takeaway is that we have a very big star back 1380 01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:44.680 on the show that Tony Kahan has been sorely missing 1381 01:16:45.119 --> 01:16:48.600 for a very long time. I don't like what they're 1382 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:51.399 doing with MJF at the moment, but I'm also gonna 1383 01:16:51.399 --> 01:16:53.560 sit here and tell you right now, like we're going 1384 01:16:53.640 --> 01:16:55.439 to get clearly we're going to get an MJF and 1385 01:16:55.520 --> 01:16:58.520 Jeff Jarrett match, And I actually think when we get 1386 01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:00.600 that match, and I don't know when they're planning on 1387 01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:03.520 doing it, but I'll go out right now and say that, 1388 01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:06.479 even though I'm not really a huge fan of this, 1389 01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:10.000 I actually think the match between them could be excellent. 1390 01:17:11.319 --> 01:17:13.319 I think if they tell that story the right way 1391 01:17:13.359 --> 01:17:16.680 and they play off the emotion, where like I said, 1392 01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:20.560 Jared is very good, I think at getting sympathy from 1393 01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:23.199 the audience, MJF knows how to get heat. Put those 1394 01:17:23.199 --> 01:17:26.800 two together, I think those two could end up having 1395 01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:29.640 a great match, as good of a match as Jeff 1396 01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:33.560 Jarrett will probably have with anybody in this company this year. 1397 01:17:34.359 --> 01:17:38.399 So I'm not gonna shit on the match, but MJF 1398 01:17:38.720 --> 01:17:41.359 should be doing a lot more than just this, Like 1399 01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:47.920 it's just kind of ridiculous. The collision card this weekend 1400 01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:52.520 Copeland and Big Bill, So basically Little Edge and Big 1401 01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:55.039 Edge are gonna go one on one. Dax Harwood is 1402 01:17:55.079 --> 01:17:59.359 going to take on Chris Jericho, two of aw's biggest fans, 1403 01:18:00.319 --> 01:18:02.560 and the women's world champion Mariah ma A in a 1404 01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:06.159 non title match. Some hot girl graps one on one 1405 01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:10.039 with Harley Cameron Dynamite next week, John Moxley defends the 1406 01:18:10.079 --> 01:18:14.159 AW World title against Powerhouse Hobbs. Kenny Omega takes on 1407 01:18:14.199 --> 01:18:18.840 Brian Cage, Christian Cage takes on Hook and the Women's 1408 01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:22.880 Casino Gauntlet the right to challenge for the World Championship 1409 01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:28.640 in Australia next month. So that is your Dynamite lineup 1410 01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:32.319 for next weekend or next week. Collision is this weekend, 1411 01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:37.319 Dynamite is next week. What did you think of Dynamite 1412 01:18:37.319 --> 01:18:43.640 for January eighth? Fifty percent thumbs up, fifty point three 1413 01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:47.279 forty nine point seven percent thumbs down, so almost an 1414 01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:52.600 exact even split. You can't get much closer than that. 1415 01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:58.319 It's just very slightly thumbs up, but it's it's a 1416 01:18:58.439 --> 01:19:01.439 virtual tie right now, within the margin of error. Put 1417 01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:04.600 it that way. Usually the margin of error is what 1418 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:14.640 three or four points. We are within the margin of error. Yeah, 1419 01:19:14.640 --> 01:19:19.119 I agree with that comment in the chat butt MJF. 1420 01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:24.800 It just feels there was a time where he really did, 1421 01:19:24.840 --> 01:19:27.600 he felt like the biggest thing in aw and like 1422 01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:33.600 just there would be a potential bidding war because he 1423 01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:36.039 was that big of a star for them, And now 1424 01:19:36.039 --> 01:19:39.720 he's not and not and I shouldn't say he's not, 1425 01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:43.199 but he doesn't feel that way, you know, And and 1426 01:19:43.319 --> 01:19:46.640 him being away for a while didn't help. But that 1427 01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:51.159 feeling that was there before, you know, for MJF, it's 1428 01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:55.119 not there right now, and they need him to get 1429 01:19:55.119 --> 01:20:01.920 that back very quickly because it ain't there right now. 1430 01:20:02.920 --> 01:20:04.960 But you're only as good as the people you work with. 1431 01:20:06.039 --> 01:20:08.159 You're only as good as the ideas they have for you. 1432 01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:13.119 Has nothing to do with his talent. He's got all 1433 01:20:13.159 --> 01:20:16.920 the talent in the world, but what they have him 1434 01:20:16.960 --> 01:20:19.760 doing right now is not exactly lighting the world on fire. 1435 01:20:22.399 --> 01:20:24.119 All right, let's take a look at your super chants. 1436 01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:27.279 We are still short of the goal for be the bookers, 1437 01:20:27.279 --> 01:20:28.720 so you got to get those likes up. If we're 1438 01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:32.520 going to do it tonight, we'll see where we end up. 1439 01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:41.119 Louis is actually starting us off tonight for PW Insider 1440 01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:45.439 NXT will air tonight at eight pm on KTLA. Boy 1441 01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:49.920 do KTLA's phone reps suck giving out information over the phone. 1442 01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:54.960 I wouldn't know, Louise, because I don't have KTLA. I'm 1443 01:20:55.000 --> 01:21:06.239 in New York, Rizzo with the ten dollars, super chat happy. 1444 01:21:06.439 --> 01:21:09.720 Every six months, Malachi Black is leaving aw rumor of 1445 01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:13.039 the day. I feel like every six months or so, 1446 01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:16.920 this rumor tends. This rumor trends, So maybe someday they'll 1447 01:21:16.920 --> 01:21:18.760 be right. I think they might be right this time. 1448 01:21:20.920 --> 01:21:24.119 I think they might be right this time. Joseph says, Hey, Solo, 1449 01:21:24.239 --> 01:21:29.000 sending much appreciation you rock. Thank you, Joseph. Dev to Dust, 1450 01:21:29.039 --> 01:21:34.079 what are your thoughts on Mets player David Wright. It's 1451 01:21:34.159 --> 01:21:41.840 kind of a random question, David. I think he might 1452 01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:46.319 be right. I think he might be right. I might 1453 01:21:46.439 --> 01:21:53.479 enjoy that one more depth. To Dust, though David Wright 1454 01:21:53.560 --> 01:21:56.399 was a great player for the Mets. I thought he 1455 01:21:56.800 --> 01:22:00.000 was a great ambassador and still is a great ambassador 1456 01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:01.880 for the team. It's too bet he had the injury 1457 01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:03.880 issues that he had because he could have done even better. 1458 01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:08.439 But I think he's he was a quality player, and 1459 01:22:08.479 --> 01:22:11.760 I think he was a credit to the Mets there 1460 01:22:11.800 --> 01:22:15.279 he is. David theory. Our response to this super chat 1461 01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:21.840 and to Hulk Hogan is yes, Yes, then the subsequent booing, 1462 01:22:22.880 --> 01:22:25.880 and then David says, we went from Solo's CEO dance 1463 01:22:25.960 --> 01:22:27.880 last week to the Hulks are getting booed, to the 1464 01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:33.199 fisting ritual, to Goulberg on TNT being created. Boy, we 1465 01:22:33.319 --> 01:22:36.520 have circled the wagons this week. There's been quite a 1466 01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:40.760 few memorable moments. You never know what you're gonna get. 1467 01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:46.840 It's all unplanned, It just sort of it just happens, right. 1468 01:22:46.920 --> 01:22:49.800 The best stuff happens on the fly, when you least expect. 1469 01:22:51.760 --> 01:23:01.000 That's when you get the Gold Pro Wrestling fannineteen ninety five, 1470 01:23:01.279 --> 01:23:08.720 with thirty one months of membership, AW has stepped up 1471 01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:11.039 their game weekly TV wise. And I don't know if 1472 01:23:11.079 --> 01:23:13.399 it's true, but it's been reported that Malachi Black is 1473 01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:16.600 leaving AW. I wonder if he is heading back to WWA. 1474 01:23:17.479 --> 01:23:20.560 If he is leaving AW, then he is almost surely 1475 01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:23.680 headed back to WWE at some point. I can't imagine 1476 01:23:23.680 --> 01:23:27.319 he doesn't go back, and I can't imagine that Triple 1477 01:23:27.399 --> 01:23:30.159 H wouldn't love to have him back, just like if 1478 01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:34.039 Samoa Joe became available, Triple H wouldn't love to get 1479 01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:38.840 his hands on Samo Joe, Alex with the twenty five 1480 01:23:39.119 --> 01:23:47.399 brother solo with the new m Mills activating pre Moode. 1481 01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:49.800 We had m Mills on TNT with us last night 1482 01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:51.920 as well. Here she is again tonight. M Mills, thank 1483 01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:55.880 you very much. I hope you are having a great night. 1484 01:23:56.680 --> 01:23:59.920 But Alex says, with the numerous fires out here in La, 1485 01:24:00.319 --> 01:24:02.920 to be able to distract ourselves for a couple of 1486 01:24:02.920 --> 01:24:05.640 hours with your stream is a great feeling. Much love 1487 01:24:05.680 --> 01:24:09.520 as always, and stay strong, La, Alex, stay safe wherever 1488 01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:12.439 you may be. I don't know how close you are 1489 01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:15.239 to where things are happening ground zero over there, but 1490 01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:18.319 it's very scary, and yes, if this could be an 1491 01:24:18.399 --> 01:24:22.039 escape for a couple of hours, then I'm happy for that. 1492 01:24:29.880 --> 01:24:32.079 David says, just wanted to send a shout out to 1493 01:24:32.119 --> 01:24:35.359 those in this chat living in California right now dealing 1494 01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:42.039 with the wildfires. Stay safe everyone. I echo that, Chris Lloyd. 1495 01:24:42.119 --> 01:24:44.279 I wonder if they're gonna take their time getting to 1496 01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:47.359 Tony against Mariah Part two. Tony can easily play it 1497 01:24:47.359 --> 01:24:50.640 off as she's excited to have her first title match. 1498 01:24:53.119 --> 01:24:55.119 They might, they might play it out, But I do 1499 01:24:55.159 --> 01:24:57.159 think though this whole amnesia thing, if that's what it 1500 01:24:57.239 --> 01:24:59.560 is like, you can't play it out for too long. 1501 01:25:00.279 --> 01:25:02.399 At some point you're gonna jump the shark with it 1502 01:25:02.479 --> 01:25:06.520 and it just gets old. So maybe she doesn't win 1503 01:25:06.720 --> 01:25:10.920 in Australia, although I think I don't know. I kind 1504 01:25:10.920 --> 01:25:13.079 of think I like the idea of it being a 1505 01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:17.119 swerve where she knows exactly what she's doing and then 1506 01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:19.720 we get the big reveal and you know, she wins. 1507 01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:21.279 If she's gonna win the belt back, she wins the 1508 01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:24.960 belt back there because she's from Australia and it would 1509 01:25:25.000 --> 01:25:27.680 be a great moment and I think it would be 1510 01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:30.680 a cool payoff if that's kind of a little twist 1511 01:25:30.800 --> 01:25:33.399 on what she's doing. But if they wanted to drag 1512 01:25:33.439 --> 01:25:37.319 it out until like Dynasty in April or you know, 1513 01:25:37.439 --> 01:25:41.279 Revolution in March, I mean, that's fine, but like you 1514 01:25:41.319 --> 01:25:43.359 can't You're not gonna push it all the way to 1515 01:25:43.439 --> 01:25:47.960 Texas with this angle unless there's some big development in 1516 01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:50.960 the angle, Like this is nice and fun to follow 1517 01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:53.239 right now, but a few months from now, it's just 1518 01:25:53.239 --> 01:25:58.399 gonna be like can we get on with this? Pro 1519 01:25:58.439 --> 01:26:01.680 Wrestling Fan nineteen ninety five. Moxley against Hobbs next week 1520 01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:03.720 should be good, but we all know what the outcome 1521 01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:06.359 will be because it all leads to Cope and Mox 1522 01:26:07.119 --> 01:26:10.720 at Revolution for the aw World title. See, I'm not 1523 01:26:10.760 --> 01:26:13.079 sure about that. I'm not sure about Revolution. I think 1524 01:26:13.119 --> 01:26:15.399 it could be the Grand Slam Maine event and then 1525 01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:18.600 they do Darby at Revolution. I'm sticking to that. I 1526 01:26:19.000 --> 01:26:23.479 think it's mox and Darby at Revolution also because I 1527 01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:26.119 don't want to wait until Revolution to get this Copeland 1528 01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:28.840 and Moxley match, Like I'm already like, all right, come on, 1529 01:26:28.920 --> 01:26:31.199 let's get on with it, you know, and we're still 1530 01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:33.159 a month away from Grand Slam. You really want to 1531 01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:38.439 wait two months for us to get to Revolution? Because 1532 01:26:38.479 --> 01:26:51.199 I don't unregistered hypercam? Why don't promoters use bs in 1533 01:26:51.279 --> 01:26:54.199 real life drama for good storytelling? Fuel? Isn't the point 1534 01:26:54.239 --> 01:27:00.000 of wrestling business to entertain the fans for their money? Oh? Backstage, 1535 01:27:03.159 --> 01:27:05.920 I thought you were saying bullshit a lot of the 1536 01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:14.680 backstage drama is bullshit. Well look, Tony Kany used some 1537 01:27:14.760 --> 01:27:18.640 backstage drama to pop a number in April with c 1538 01:27:18.840 --> 01:27:21.840 I'm Punk and Jack Perry. He popped the big number. 1539 01:27:22.840 --> 01:27:26.399 He hasn't come anywhere close to that number since. Sometimes 1540 01:27:26.479 --> 01:27:32.439 the drama backstage is better left backstage. Sometimes it's cool 1541 01:27:32.479 --> 01:27:35.720 to play off of it. Like Brent and Sean. You 1542 01:27:35.720 --> 01:27:38.279 can feel the tension between them every time they were 1543 01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:41.279 on TV. That was fun. Maybe not for the people 1544 01:27:41.279 --> 01:27:42.760 who had to work with them at that time, but 1545 01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:47.640 that was fun. But there's backstage drama that belongs backstage 1546 01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:51.920 and not out on camera. AW has had enough drama 1547 01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:54.960 for the last two years. We don't need to create 1548 01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:59.560 more Oz and Glorious Malachai. House of Black sell more 1549 01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:02.319 merch and are more interesting in one week than Garcia 1550 01:28:02.359 --> 01:28:07.039 will be his entire career. Malachi crossed or annoyed Tony 1551 01:28:07.119 --> 01:28:11.000 Kahan at some point, no doubt, there's something that happened 1552 01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:12.600 and I don't know what it was. I don't know 1553 01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:16.680 what it is. It just doesn't make sense. The thing 1554 01:28:16.720 --> 01:28:18.960 that really struck me it was one of the videos 1555 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:21.680 that Malachi posted when he was annoyed that people were 1556 01:28:21.720 --> 01:28:24.319 talking about how he's hurt, that's why he's not in 1557 01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:27.439 singles matches. So he had to post a video and said, look, 1558 01:28:28.239 --> 01:28:29.760 he was trying to be nice about it, but he 1559 01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:32.960 was clearly just pissed off and frustrated, and he goes, 1560 01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:37.920 I'm not hurt. I oh, look look at this two 1561 01:28:37.920 --> 01:28:43.960 best friends on your screen right now. But he was 1562 01:28:44.239 --> 01:28:46.520 clearly annoyed, and he said, look, I'm not hurt. And 1563 01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:49.239 as far as why I don't have more singles matches, 1564 01:28:49.640 --> 01:28:51.640 his answer was basically like I'm not the guy to 1565 01:28:51.680 --> 01:28:54.800 ask about that. And that's what made me go okay, 1566 01:28:54.880 --> 01:29:00.439 all right, like he's he's speaking volumes without actually saying it. 1567 01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:04.640 So yes, I agree, something happened at some point. I 1568 01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:08.000 don't know what, I don't know why, but clearly he 1569 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:10.399 is not gonna go any higher than he is right now. 1570 01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:16.600 So that much is clear, because if he was going to, 1571 01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:25.119 it would have happened by now. We got Oz glorious again, 1572 01:29:25.199 --> 01:29:29.800 says sometimes, Tony Kahn's like a guy with a garage 1573 01:29:30.079 --> 01:29:34.600 full of Italian supercars that prefers to drive a motted 1574 01:29:34.640 --> 01:29:40.960 out Toyota Camry with racing stripes just to prove a point. 1575 01:29:41.960 --> 01:29:53.720 That's quite the analogy there, uh becomes see clearly what 1576 01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:57.319 Speedball Mike Bailey match would you recommend besides the one 1577 01:29:57.359 --> 01:30:02.279 with Osprey and watching more speedball he's great sucks he's 1578 01:30:02.319 --> 01:30:05.000 on TNA. Well, you'll be happy to know he's no 1579 01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:07.920 longer with TNA. He is out of TNA as of 1580 01:30:07.960 --> 01:30:10.920 the beginning of November, and I think I don't know 1581 01:30:10.920 --> 01:30:14.119 if it was a noncompete or what, but he's I 1582 01:30:14.119 --> 01:30:16.680 think he's officially free and clear now and the belief 1583 01:30:16.720 --> 01:30:20.359 is he's on his way into AAW. So, yes, he 1584 01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:24.520 is no longer with TNA. We had Speedball in House 1585 01:30:24.560 --> 01:30:26.399 of Glory a bunch of times and he had some 1586 01:30:26.439 --> 01:30:28.760 great matches there. But one I'll recommend to you though, 1587 01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:31.359 is the match he had with Takeshta at the Maple 1588 01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:35.159 Leaf Pro Show. Scott de moorse new promotion. They had 1589 01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:37.920 their debut weekend in October. They haven't done shows since, 1590 01:30:38.720 --> 01:30:41.079 but they had two shows up in Canada the weekend 1591 01:30:41.159 --> 01:30:44.600 of I think October nineteenth and twentieth, and Takesha was 1592 01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:48.199 in the main event both nights. Night one, I believe 1593 01:30:48.239 --> 01:30:52.039 defended his international title against Speedball and then Night two 1594 01:30:52.079 --> 01:30:55.840 he defended against Josh Alexander, who's also going to be 1595 01:30:56.800 --> 01:31:00.199 if he's not already a free agent and out of TNA. 1596 01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:04.479 Both matches were great. The speedball match, I think I 1597 01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:08.800 like more great match. So you want a recommendation, go 1598 01:31:08.840 --> 01:31:12.680 find that match. Maple Leaf Pro. What was it Forged 1599 01:31:12.760 --> 01:31:15.560 in Combat? I think was the name of the show. 1600 01:31:17.640 --> 01:31:20.840 That was a great one. And Oz says Private Party 1601 01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:25.720 had one good match five years ago. When you're not 1602 01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:30.239 given the opportunity, brother, it's hard to to do much there. 1603 01:31:30.800 --> 01:31:32.800 You got to be featured. You got to be featured 1604 01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:35.079 in the ring with the best tag teams in the company. 1605 01:31:36.079 --> 01:31:37.880 And it's not just the young Bucks at the time. 1606 01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:39.880 You know, you got you had the Luca Bros. You 1607 01:31:39.960 --> 01:31:44.279 got FTR, you got SCU at one point, and best Friends. 1608 01:31:44.279 --> 01:31:50.000 You have all these teams. You had Lax, proud and powerful, 1609 01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:53.439 whatever they were. Where was Private Party and all that. 1610 01:31:55.520 --> 01:31:58.720 Part of the problem is that Mark Quinn got hurt. 1611 01:31:59.159 --> 01:32:01.000 He was gone for a very long time, like a 1612 01:32:01.079 --> 01:32:06.039 year or over a year, and so Isaiah started doing 1613 01:32:06.119 --> 01:32:09.159 some goofy stuff with the Hardy's and you know, the 1614 01:32:09.199 --> 01:32:13.199 Matt Hardy gimmick and everything, and they really stifled their 1615 01:32:13.239 --> 01:32:15.680 momentum and their growth. That was part of it. Also, 1616 01:32:15.720 --> 01:32:17.720 it wasn't just the booking, it was the injury, but 1617 01:32:17.760 --> 01:32:20.479 the booking was definitely part of it. So, you know, 1618 01:32:20.640 --> 01:32:24.479 I've had the chance to see Private Party call their matches. 1619 01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:27.199 I know where they came from, I know what they're 1620 01:32:27.199 --> 01:32:31.039 capable of, I know what they can do. And I'm 1621 01:32:31.079 --> 01:32:34.239 not saying I'm going to rank Private Party as the 1622 01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:36.760 greatest team on the aw roster. What I'm saying is 1623 01:32:36.760 --> 01:32:42.439 though to insinuate that, well, they weren't worth investing it, 1624 01:32:43.479 --> 01:32:46.720 or they had matches that weren't great, and that's why 1625 01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:49.960 they didn't get pushed. They never got the opportunity to 1626 01:32:50.000 --> 01:32:53.640 really get pushed. It took five years for them to 1627 01:32:53.760 --> 01:32:55.920 really get the chance to finally and not just win 1628 01:32:55.960 --> 01:32:58.079 the titles. But okay, now we're being featured in a 1629 01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:01.760 prominent way. And I don't hold that against them. I 1630 01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:05.520 hold that against Tony Kah because if they were featured 1631 01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:09.119 prominently and had matches with all these other great teams, 1632 01:33:09.119 --> 01:33:11.960 and they were, they were having stinkers every week or 1633 01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:16.079 just like average matches, It's like, Okay, maybe it's not them, 1634 01:33:16.079 --> 01:33:20.239 it's you. But they really weren't given the opportunity, but 1635 01:33:20.279 --> 01:33:27.359 the injury played a role too. Arabian Night says per 1636 01:33:28.680 --> 01:33:35.439 Wressell votes and Wressell nomics. Raw on Netflix only drew 1637 01:33:35.560 --> 01:33:40.239 six hundred thousand live viewers in the US. That seems low. Also, 1638 01:33:40.279 --> 01:33:43.840 could you see Keith Lee joining the Hurt syndicate? H 1639 01:33:44.479 --> 01:33:47.279 I don't I don't see him joining. Is that true? 1640 01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:51.479 Six hundred thousand? That's that sounds like a fucking awful number. 1641 01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:57.560 I'll have to look into this, but yeah, on the 1642 01:33:57.600 --> 01:34:02.119 surface that that that does not sound good at all. Uh. 1643 01:34:02.840 --> 01:34:06.600 Clay v man O seven Teken added Final Fantasy sixteen's 1644 01:34:06.720 --> 01:34:11.479 Clive as DLC to get Soakin's music, and now aw 1645 01:34:11.640 --> 01:34:18.079 brought Kenny back to get Soakin's music. Are you gonna 1646 01:34:18.079 --> 01:34:19.520 hate me if I tell you? I have no idea 1647 01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:21.399 who Soakin is? I mean, I know he did the 1648 01:34:21.479 --> 01:34:24.319 music that Kenny comes out to. But is that a band? 1649 01:34:24.399 --> 01:34:26.079 Is that a guy? Is that a girl? Like? I 1650 01:34:26.079 --> 01:34:31.159 don't know. I don't know. I'm not familiar with their music. 1651 01:34:31.199 --> 01:34:35.039 I don't know who that is, so go easy on me, 1652 01:34:36.439 --> 01:34:42.399 but I don't know who Soaking is. Styles Fans sixty 1653 01:34:42.399 --> 01:34:45.239 one nine buy or sell Charles Mason or Vince Russo. 1654 01:34:52.760 --> 01:34:56.960 Is it true that Noah Mark watches German She's videos. 1655 01:34:56.960 --> 01:34:58.920 I don't know. You have to ask Noah Mark, what 1656 01:34:58.960 --> 01:35:02.399 are you asking me for? Whatever he's into? I don't 1657 01:35:02.399 --> 01:35:05.760 want to know. Bace Beers, thank you for the two bucks. 1658 01:35:06.680 --> 01:35:10.119 Om too cool. I love how Coronett calls him wheeler useless? 1659 01:35:11.199 --> 01:35:19.840 Is that what he calls him? George Seckman was going on, George, 1660 01:35:20.720 --> 01:35:24.159 Announcers should remain impartial and not try to start storylines 1661 01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:27.079 on their own. I agree with New Japan suspending Charlton 1662 01:35:27.159 --> 01:35:30.319 for going off script on his own. Well, I disagree. 1663 01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:32.000 I think it's bullshit. I think if they have an 1664 01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:34.119 issue with it, pull him aside and tell him don't 1665 01:35:34.119 --> 01:35:39.000 do that again. I think suspending him is a bullshit move. 1666 01:35:40.800 --> 01:35:42.960 But you know, look, the culture over there is different, 1667 01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:45.159 and maybe they have a lower tolerance for that sort 1668 01:35:45.159 --> 01:35:49.079 of thing. I think. I just think, I don't know. 1669 01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:51.840 I think you could certainly unless he was warned in 1670 01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:54.119 advance and he did it anyway, like if he was 1671 01:35:54.560 --> 01:35:57.640 insubordinate in some way, and then that's a different story. 1672 01:35:58.439 --> 01:36:00.359 But if we assume that there was nothing said in 1673 01:36:00.399 --> 01:36:02.399 advance and he just kind of went and did it 1674 01:36:02.560 --> 01:36:04.920 to try to spice things up a little bit, then 1675 01:36:04.920 --> 01:36:06.880 pull them aside and say, look, you shouldn't have done that. 1676 01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:12.399 Don't do that again, simple as that. I think it's 1677 01:36:12.439 --> 01:36:16.920 a bitch move, and I think Tony Shavanni posting that 1678 01:36:16.920 --> 01:36:24.279 tweet frankly was a bitch move OZ and Glorious is. 1679 01:36:24.319 --> 01:36:27.319 I'm sure everyone will treat hobbes impending loss to Moxley 1680 01:36:27.359 --> 01:36:31.199 as graciously as they did when equally boring big guy 1681 01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:35.880 Wardlow lost to Samoa Joe Clean. Well, you got a 1682 01:36:35.920 --> 01:36:39.640 lot of bad opinions tonight, so you're denying that Wardlow 1683 01:36:39.680 --> 01:36:41.640 is super over at one point. See, you're just being 1684 01:36:41.680 --> 01:36:51.560 blind now that Oz says WCW legend Jeff Jared is 1685 01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:57.119 better than w W Bootlick or John Cen. I think 1686 01:36:57.159 --> 01:37:01.000 Oz is under the influence of something tonight. Be calm. 1687 01:37:01.039 --> 01:37:05.000 See clearly, I love Moxley so much, but it's time 1688 01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:08.119 to drop the title at the next Big Show Revolution. 1689 01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:12.920 He needs to not have that World Championship. Love you 1690 01:37:13.000 --> 01:37:18.880 solo in this community we have love you guys. Yes, 1691 01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:22.520 he needs to drop the title by Revolution. I agree. 1692 01:37:22.680 --> 01:37:24.680 I think it'll be to Darby I think Darby gets 1693 01:37:24.680 --> 01:37:28.039 a token run. He's not gonna have it for very long. 1694 01:37:28.079 --> 01:37:44.239 Eating Thank you, brother, h we got t MAC zero 1695 01:37:44.359 --> 01:37:50.239 three four. Will a wild slap nuts appear one last time? 1696 01:37:52.399 --> 01:37:56.600 Says shout out to Marky D one two three for 1697 01:37:56.640 --> 01:37:59.199 the joke. Jeff Jared is tripping if he thinks that 1698 01:37:59.239 --> 01:38:07.880 he should win the aw Championship Arabian Night. Who did 1699 01:38:07.920 --> 01:38:14.680 Hobbes work or who'd Hobbes work after Mons? You mean, 1700 01:38:14.720 --> 01:38:19.800 who would he work? He's not fighting for a title. 1701 01:38:19.840 --> 01:38:23.439 I don't see a top heel at the moment. Free 1702 01:38:23.479 --> 01:38:26.039 to work with him. He would be better a better 1703 01:38:26.039 --> 01:38:33.000 fit in the Hurt syndicate than Anthony Bow's Maybe, I 1704 01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:35.439 don't know. Take any of the million fucking people on 1705 01:38:35.479 --> 01:38:40.920 the roster and manufacture a story for They have so 1706 01:38:41.000 --> 01:38:43.279 many people. I'm sure we could come up with some 1707 01:38:43.359 --> 01:38:45.239 kind of story for the guy as long as he's 1708 01:38:45.279 --> 01:38:48.960 doing something. But don't just have him losing then just 1709 01:38:49.039 --> 01:38:56.439 drop off the face of the earth. That's all I'm saying, Ritchie, 1710 01:38:56.520 --> 01:38:59.039 Are we gonna get Hollywood Hogan back? They made headlines 1711 01:38:59.039 --> 01:39:01.920 with the booze? Did you see him walk out there 1712 01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:05.880 on Monday Night? You think he belongs on fucking television. 1713 01:39:05.880 --> 01:39:08.600 He belongs in a rocking chair. He can barely move 1714 01:39:13.560 --> 01:39:16.800 Oz says Jeff. Jared is picking his final run opponents 1715 01:39:16.920 --> 01:39:21.399 a la stay well, he can pick wherever he wants to. 1716 01:39:21.399 --> 01:39:23.840 Tony Khan is the boss, though Tony Khan has still 1717 01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:27.079 has final say yay or nay over who he works with. 1718 01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:31.279 And by the way, Sting didn't. To my knowledge, Sting 1719 01:39:31.319 --> 01:39:33.720 didn't hand pick all the people he worked with. He 1720 01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:37.760 chose the Young Bucks for his final match. But Sting 1721 01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:40.680 wasn't showing up with like, hey, I got a list here, 1722 01:39:40.760 --> 01:39:42.479 Tony of all the guys I want to work with. 1723 01:39:42.560 --> 01:39:46.680 And John Cena has said he's not lobbying for any opponents. 1724 01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:48.319 He's just gonna show up to work and do what 1725 01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:58.439 he's told. Maybe Jared is doing things differently the average 1726 01:39:58.479 --> 01:40:04.840 grunt Omega an Osprey for IWGP Tag Team Champions Please 1727 01:40:09.319 --> 01:40:12.199 styles fan. Do you see the FS one lawsuit and 1728 01:40:12.239 --> 01:40:17.800 the Joy Taylor stuff? No? No, I have not read 1729 01:40:17.840 --> 01:40:22.000 about that. Oh yeah, are you talking about the Skip 1730 01:40:22.039 --> 01:40:25.199 baylest thing? Is that the skip I did hear about that. 1731 01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:27.800 I don't know all the details. I just read that 1732 01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:31.800 he offered her money to Wow. I mean, just the 1733 01:40:31.840 --> 01:40:34.800 thought of it makes me want a fucking puke. But 1734 01:40:34.880 --> 01:40:36.760 if that's the Skip Baylest thing, yes, I did hear 1735 01:40:36.800 --> 01:40:40.119 about that, and I don't like Skip Bayless anyway, so 1736 01:40:40.359 --> 01:40:46.279 fuck him. That's my thoughts on that Insecure Skeletor. I 1737 01:40:46.439 --> 01:40:48.800 was at the show tonight and I hope we came across. Well. 1738 01:40:48.840 --> 01:40:51.319 I see Omega back to feuding with Takeshta for the 1739 01:40:51.359 --> 01:40:54.640 international title. You see the Bucks trying to get with 1740 01:40:54.760 --> 01:40:58.920 Kenny when they return, that's possible. I don't see Kenny 1741 01:40:58.920 --> 01:41:02.119 going after the international title, though, because I think they're 1742 01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:04.600 they're building to him and Okada for the continental title. 1743 01:41:05.359 --> 01:41:07.560 And if he's going to wrestle Takesha, he's gonna have 1744 01:41:07.560 --> 01:41:10.399 to win because Kenny should not be going in there 1745 01:41:10.439 --> 01:41:13.720 and losing to Takesha. Takesha already beat him. If they 1746 01:41:13.840 --> 01:41:18.359 run that match back again, Kenny's gonna win, and Kenny 1747 01:41:18.359 --> 01:41:30.039 Omega doesn't need the international title. The Juliette had to 1748 01:41:30.039 --> 01:41:32.640 hear the new super chat. Also to everybody in the 1749 01:41:32.680 --> 01:41:39.279 path of the California wildfires, stay safe. Thank you, juliet 1750 01:41:40.000 --> 01:41:45.840 I hope you are having a wonderful night. Takesha beat 1751 01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:48.840 him twice. That's right, Thank you for reminding me. So 1752 01:41:48.920 --> 01:41:50.880 do you honestly believe that if you get these two 1753 01:41:50.920 --> 01:41:52.479 back in the ring for a third time, it's going 1754 01:41:52.520 --> 01:41:55.680 to go the same way it did the first two times. 1755 01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:03.079 I mean, my whole thing with the Continental Classic, when 1756 01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:06.279 I thought they were teasing something with Okata and Taqushta, 1757 01:42:06.520 --> 01:42:09.039 was that they would meet in the finals and you 1758 01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:13.159 could merge, you could unify the two titles. So I mean, 1759 01:42:13.279 --> 01:42:16.479 I suppose you could always have Kenny go in with 1760 01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:18.319 a belt and have Okata go in with the belt 1761 01:42:18.319 --> 01:42:21.560 and just unify them. But I don't get the sense 1762 01:42:21.600 --> 01:42:29.520 that Tony Kahn wants to do that. Justin g gifted 1763 01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:34.239 a channel membership to the Winston Slip. Very kind of you, 1764 01:42:34.319 --> 01:42:39.279 Thank you, Justin. M Mill, Wow, look at this. Oh well, 1765 01:42:39.319 --> 01:42:43.279 I know, I just noticed we hit our supercheck goal, 1766 01:42:43.800 --> 01:42:45.399 and I guess M Mills has a lot to do 1767 01:42:45.479 --> 01:42:47.760 with that. M Mills just went crazy. Came in with 1768 01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:52.720 a twenty five of twenty and another twenty. M Mills 1769 01:42:52.920 --> 01:42:58.760 is on a roll tonight and another twenty. You are amazing, 1770 01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:05.760 and another twenty, and David also with a twenty. I 1771 01:43:05.800 --> 01:43:07.680 see a you two were tag team here to try 1772 01:43:07.680 --> 01:43:10.279 to get to although she was doing a lot of 1773 01:43:10.279 --> 01:43:12.600 the heavy lifting here. It looks like these last fifteen minutes. 1774 01:43:13.479 --> 01:43:18.359 Holy shit, Hey, unregistered hypercam says BS equals bullshit the 1775 01:43:18.479 --> 01:43:25.640 Charlton's I see, well, it looks like we're doing at 1776 01:43:25.720 --> 01:43:27.399 least two rounds of be the Booker. I mean, do 1777 01:43:27.479 --> 01:43:31.800 we hit the like skull we did? Wow? Okay, so 1778 01:43:31.840 --> 01:43:36.199 we're doing you guys are getting three rounds of be 1779 01:43:36.279 --> 01:43:42.119 the Booker tonight. I guess you guys really wanted to 1780 01:43:42.119 --> 01:43:47.760 be the book David thoughts on the Rock promo on 1781 01:43:47.920 --> 01:43:51.399 NXT last night. That's what happens when you go out 1782 01:43:51.399 --> 01:43:53.880 there with no fucking clue what you're gonna say. It 1783 01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:56.319 was very clear to me he had no plan whatsoever. 1784 01:43:56.520 --> 01:44:01.159 He just went out there and just splitly riffed off 1785 01:44:01.199 --> 01:44:04.920 the cuff. I'm not saying it was bad. I mean 1786 01:44:04.920 --> 01:44:06.479 it was you know. I'm sure if you were in 1787 01:44:06.520 --> 01:44:08.640 the live audience, I mean he was dropping f bomb 1788 01:44:08.640 --> 01:44:11.680 after f bomb after f bomb. I'm sure. They posted, 1789 01:44:11.760 --> 01:44:13.920 by the way, the full uncensored version of that on 1790 01:44:13.920 --> 01:44:17.680 the CW Network YouTube channel, So if you want to 1791 01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:20.399 hear all the cuss words, not get bleeped. You can 1792 01:44:20.439 --> 01:44:23.479 go on there and watch the segment. I mean, it 1793 01:44:23.520 --> 01:44:25.000 was a whole lot of nothing. It was just they 1794 01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:27.720 wanted a poperating and guess what, it worked. NXT did 1795 01:44:27.720 --> 01:44:30.560 its biggest number in five years. They did nine hundred 1796 01:44:30.600 --> 01:44:34.840 and fifty seven thousand viewers, and I had people tweeting me, going, 1797 01:44:34.840 --> 01:44:37.359 you see Solomaster NXT. Man, it's the hot show. You 1798 01:44:38.199 --> 01:44:41.800 gotta start reviewing it again. I'm like, dude, the only 1799 01:44:41.920 --> 01:44:45.079 reason the show did nine hundred and fifty seven thousand viewers, 1800 01:44:45.199 --> 01:44:48.800 I promise you had nothing to do with Julia or 1801 01:44:48.840 --> 01:44:55.319 Trick Williams. Nothing. It's called The Rock was promoted to 1802 01:44:55.439 --> 01:44:58.680 be on the show, and next week it'll be right 1803 01:44:58.720 --> 01:45:03.079 back down to earth. So do not mistake that number 1804 01:45:03.119 --> 01:45:05.800 for anything other than what I call the rock pop 1805 01:45:06.199 --> 01:45:08.800 or the rock bump. That's what That number was a 1806 01:45:08.840 --> 01:45:12.600 great number. The only reason the number was that high 1807 01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:14.840 was because The Rock was on the show. So the 1808 01:45:14.920 --> 01:45:17.079 promo I thought, was really not much of anything. He 1809 01:45:17.159 --> 01:45:19.000 didn't say anything in the promo. What did he do? 1810 01:45:20.680 --> 01:45:23.520 He clearly was irritated by the people who were complaining 1811 01:45:23.520 --> 01:45:28.000 about him and Cody Rhodes, hob nobbing on TV, and 1812 01:45:28.079 --> 01:45:31.199 so he lashed out on that and then he just 1813 01:45:31.239 --> 01:45:34.239 said a whole bunch of nothing. He did a rock promo, 1814 01:45:34.520 --> 01:45:36.640 like a rock promo, off the cuff, That's what it was. 1815 01:45:38.520 --> 01:45:43.119 I didn't think it was anything special, but people lapped 1816 01:45:43.119 --> 01:45:48.039 that shit up, so good for that. Bcoms. Clearly, are 1817 01:45:48.079 --> 01:45:52.359 we really doing this cop thing Tony chill. It's his idea, 1818 01:45:53.800 --> 01:46:00.119 this is what he wants to do, so we're getting cope. 1819 01:46:01.439 --> 01:46:05.239 It is what it is. DH sires that viewers is 1820 01:46:06.039 --> 01:46:10.760 not real and no one reported that aside from Samba TV, 1821 01:46:10.880 --> 01:46:14.479 which measures viewers from certain smart TVs. Total viewership comes 1822 01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:16.439 next month. Yeah, I mean, I find that very hard 1823 01:46:16.439 --> 01:46:20.840 to believe. There's no way that raw with all the 1824 01:46:20.840 --> 01:46:23.199 promotion and everything and all, I mean, all the people 1825 01:46:23.239 --> 01:46:25.920 on Netflix who would at least check it out part 1826 01:46:25.960 --> 01:46:27.960 of the episode out, There's no way they did. Only 1827 01:46:28.000 --> 01:46:31.840 six hundred thousand viewers, Like, I don't even believe that 1828 01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:34.479 if it was real, though, it's a terrible number, but 1829 01:46:34.600 --> 01:46:39.600 I don't buy it. Duffs vid. Since we haven't seen 1830 01:46:39.640 --> 01:46:42.039 the aw World title belt since John Wanna, do you 1831 01:46:42.039 --> 01:46:45.720 think we'll see a new design after he loses it. Why. 1832 01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:48.479 It's a great looking It's probably the best looking title 1833 01:46:48.520 --> 01:46:51.159 outside of the Winged Eagle and all of wrestling. Why 1834 01:46:51.239 --> 01:46:54.800 change it? It's one thing to change the title if 1835 01:46:54.800 --> 01:46:57.880 it looks like shit. The aw World title is one 1836 01:46:57.920 --> 01:47:02.079 of the most beautiful looking belts actively right now on 1837 01:47:02.159 --> 01:47:07.199 any wrestling show. It's a hell of a lot nicer 1838 01:47:07.239 --> 01:47:09.920 than the giant WWE logo belts. Why the hell would 1839 01:47:09.960 --> 01:47:15.079 you change it? B COMC. Clearly I love Adam Copeland, 1840 01:47:15.199 --> 01:47:18.319 just not the Cope thing. It's annoying and they're laying 1841 01:47:18.359 --> 01:47:28.439 it in and go Hobbes. Surprise the haters. A lot 1842 01:47:28.439 --> 01:47:32.079 of people will be rooting for Hobbes, but he actually 1843 01:47:32.079 --> 01:47:37.640 gonna win. No, he's not. David Theory. It should have 1844 01:47:37.840 --> 01:47:40.119 said in my previous super chat that I did not 1845 01:47:40.319 --> 01:47:44.079 know if you went back and watched it after TNT 1846 01:47:45.079 --> 01:47:48.439 the Rock thing. Yeah, I mean last night it was like, 1847 01:47:48.479 --> 01:47:50.800 what was it six minutes? I think his segment was. 1848 01:47:51.199 --> 01:47:53.439 I mean, I've watched the entire show since last night. 1849 01:47:54.960 --> 01:47:58.199 So I'm very happy that Obafemi got a big win 1850 01:47:58.279 --> 01:48:01.560 and Julia got a big win, you know, and that 1851 01:48:01.600 --> 01:48:02.960 would have been a great way to go off the 1852 01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:06.760 air because after Obafemi one, he went on stage and 1853 01:48:06.840 --> 01:48:09.359 Julia came back out with her title and they posed 1854 01:48:10.239 --> 01:48:12.640 and it's like, okay, it's the crowning of like a 1855 01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:15.279 new guard in NXT. And they didn't even end the 1856 01:48:15.279 --> 01:48:23.119 show with it. They ended with the rod Okay alex 1857 01:48:23.159 --> 01:48:30.760 o'choa WrestleMania forty one, Goolberg against the Bukocky Ghost. I'm 1858 01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:39.560 going with the ghost pref Flo Dollar. Look at that 1859 01:48:39.640 --> 01:48:42.800 he went from a half dollar to a full dollar. Apparently, 1860 01:48:42.840 --> 01:48:46.279 Hogan asked why the fans would boo Jimmy Hart and 1861 01:48:46.399 --> 01:48:48.760 when is well, that's the joke he didn't actually as 1862 01:48:49.199 --> 01:48:55.279 and when is the next solo Salcedo crossover. I like 1863 01:48:55.359 --> 01:49:00.840 her hopeful optimism and your realism. We did uh well, 1864 01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:02.600 when did we do a stream? It was a year ago. 1865 01:49:02.640 --> 01:49:05.039 I think we did Royal Rumble predictions on her channel, 1866 01:49:05.119 --> 01:49:09.520 so uh, stay tuned, you never know. I mean if if, 1867 01:49:10.560 --> 01:49:19.439 if the opportunity comes up, I'm open to it. And 1868 01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:22.680 styles fan says Skip Bayless wanted to sleep with a 1869 01:49:22.720 --> 01:49:25.640 hairdresser who filed the lawsuit. She also talked about how 1870 01:49:25.720 --> 01:49:28.600 Joy Taylor slept her way to the top of FS 1871 01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:31.039 one all right. So I didn't know that part of 1872 01:49:31.039 --> 01:49:33.159 the lawsuit because I just don't I just don't care, 1873 01:49:35.960 --> 01:49:38.079 and I honestly, I've just been avoiding just a lot 1874 01:49:38.159 --> 01:49:41.640 of just news in general. I'm just not really paying 1875 01:49:41.680 --> 01:49:45.760 attention to anything right now. So but yeah, the Skip 1876 01:49:45.800 --> 01:49:51.319 Bayless thing I did hear about so couldn't happen to 1877 01:49:51.319 --> 01:49:55.159 a nicer guy. I just never cared for him, and 1878 01:49:55.199 --> 01:49:57.000 he said he has said a lot of stupid shit 1879 01:49:58.279 --> 01:50:03.239 over the years. I just never liked the guy. So 1880 01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:05.800 if it turns out that's what he did, I'm not surprised. 1881 01:50:10.399 --> 01:50:16.960 The average grunt Soaken is a final Fantasy composer, hence 1882 01:50:17.000 --> 01:50:19.520 the vibe. Ah, well, let's see that makes sense though 1883 01:50:21.039 --> 01:50:24.720 I know Kenny is a big final fantasy guy, so 1884 01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:29.800 it had that vibe to it when I heard the 1885 01:50:29.880 --> 01:50:33.560 music and hearing that that makes a lot of sense. 1886 01:50:38.199 --> 01:50:41.800 B money oh four, So does John Moxley lose to 1887 01:50:41.880 --> 01:50:44.840 Darby Allen at Revolution then get cashed in on by 1888 01:50:44.920 --> 01:50:49.399 Christian Cage to write him off TV so he can 1889 01:50:49.439 --> 01:50:52.560 climb Mount Everest. It's exactly what I said a few 1890 01:50:52.560 --> 01:50:54.840 weeks ago, so my mind hasn't changed. You heard it 1891 01:50:54.880 --> 01:50:56.880 here first, So yes, that's exactly what I think is 1892 01:50:56.880 --> 01:51:00.119 gonna happen. That's why I said I think. I think 1893 01:51:00.119 --> 01:51:05.039 they do Moxley and Copeland at Grand Slam, and then 1894 01:51:05.279 --> 01:51:10.000 Revolution is what three weeks later, like March fifth or something, 1895 01:51:11.079 --> 01:51:14.119 and you by then Darby will be back because they 1896 01:51:14.199 --> 01:51:17.199 just wrote him off with an injury angle, and you 1897 01:51:17.279 --> 01:51:20.680 do Darby and mox there and Darby wins the belt. 1898 01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:26.319 One year to the very event where Sting retired, Darby 1899 01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:31.359 wins the aw World Championship, and then on Dynamite that week, 1900 01:51:31.880 --> 01:51:34.319 if not that same night, then on Dynamite that Wednesday, 1901 01:51:34.439 --> 01:51:36.960 Christian Cash is in his contract and wins the championship 1902 01:51:37.000 --> 01:51:40.199 from him. You do an angle to write him off 1903 01:51:40.239 --> 01:51:43.000 so he can go off to begin preparing for the 1904 01:51:43.000 --> 01:51:45.600 climb because he's he's committed to doing it. The only 1905 01:51:45.600 --> 01:51:47.439 reason he didn't climb last year is because he broke 1906 01:51:47.439 --> 01:51:50.239 his foot in that match with j White. But the 1907 01:51:50.279 --> 01:51:54.279 climb would be in April if he does it, so 1908 01:51:54.479 --> 01:51:56.279 not a lot of time left between now and then, 1909 01:51:56.359 --> 01:51:58.359 and usually I think it's like a two month climb. 1910 01:52:00.119 --> 01:52:03.079 So you give them that token title run, you get 1911 01:52:03.079 --> 01:52:06.119 the belt off Moxley, and then you just kind of 1912 01:52:06.119 --> 01:52:08.720 go from there. Whatever the sequence of events then is 1913 01:52:08.720 --> 01:52:12.840 from Christian to whoever comes after Christian. I don't know. 1914 01:52:12.880 --> 01:52:15.399 I mean we could come up with any number of 1915 01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:18.880 names who who should be, you know, aw, world champion 1916 01:52:18.920 --> 01:52:22.640 this year like Osprey, But if that happens, I don't 1917 01:52:22.640 --> 01:52:25.720 see that happening until later in the year. But I 1918 01:52:25.760 --> 01:52:27.760 think that's how it plays out. Yeah, I think I 1919 01:52:27.800 --> 01:52:36.760 think it's going to be Darby it revolution Everest should 1920 01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:40.039 be closed. There's a lot of dead bodies on Everest. 1921 01:52:40.239 --> 01:52:44.039 Like if you've read about what happens up there, it 1922 01:52:44.119 --> 01:52:49.279 is scary. Like imagine you're you're you're climbing that mountain 1923 01:52:50.319 --> 01:52:53.199 and I'm sure it's just windy and frigid, and there's 1924 01:52:53.199 --> 01:52:57.000 snow blowing in your face, and you know, the higher 1925 01:52:57.079 --> 01:53:00.720 up you go, the oxygen level like everything right, And 1926 01:53:00.800 --> 01:53:06.079 imagine you're walking by and you just see bodies buried 1927 01:53:06.119 --> 01:53:10.279 in the snow, like this is commonplace there. It's not 1928 01:53:10.359 --> 01:53:12.159 like they can just have people go up there and 1929 01:53:12.199 --> 01:53:17.119 retrieve them. So they're just laying there just to remind 1930 01:53:17.159 --> 01:53:20.239 you of how things could turn out for you, right. 1931 01:53:20.720 --> 01:53:22.760 I bet those people when they climbed up there thought 1932 01:53:22.760 --> 01:53:24.720 they were going to come back down, and they didn't. 1933 01:53:25.760 --> 01:53:29.039 So you need to know the risks. And there are 1934 01:53:29.079 --> 01:53:31.079 people who lose their lives on that mountain who have 1935 01:53:31.159 --> 01:53:34.239 been mountain climbing and training and preparing to do this 1936 01:53:34.279 --> 01:53:37.359 for years. Darby's been doing it for probably a handful 1937 01:53:37.399 --> 01:53:40.520 of months. I mean, I know he likes to do 1938 01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:43.119 crazy shit, but I hope he knows what he's doing. 1939 01:53:43.159 --> 01:53:46.680 That's all I can say. I hope he knows what 1940 01:53:46.720 --> 01:53:52.399 he's doing. Justin says, I live at fifty five hundred 1941 01:53:52.439 --> 01:54:01.520 feet elevation Hell with Everest Chris. Do you think Samantha 1942 01:54:01.560 --> 01:54:05.960 Irvin will be all elite? I do. Look, I pitched 1943 01:54:05.960 --> 01:54:08.720 the idea of her managing Ricochet. I just you run 1944 01:54:08.760 --> 01:54:10.680 the risk of her ending up becoming a bigger star 1945 01:54:10.760 --> 01:54:14.800 than him, But I think they could get tremendous heat. 1946 01:54:16.119 --> 01:54:18.720 So do I think she ultimately ends up there, Yes, 1947 01:54:18.760 --> 01:54:20.760 because I think she wants to perform. That's why she 1948 01:54:20.840 --> 01:54:24.439 left ww A. They didn't see her as a performer. 1949 01:54:24.439 --> 01:54:26.960 They wanted her as a ring announcer. She wants to perform, 1950 01:54:27.039 --> 01:54:28.520 she wants to be on the show, she wants to 1951 01:54:28.520 --> 01:54:32.279 be a character, she wants to be a manager, I mean, 1952 01:54:32.319 --> 01:54:36.079 I don't see any reason for her not to join, right, 1953 01:54:36.119 --> 01:54:42.279 you know, Tony Kahn would probably bring her in. Mount 1954 01:54:42.279 --> 01:54:45.720 Everest equals one of the highest graveyards in the world. 1955 01:54:45.760 --> 01:54:51.560 It probably is the highest graveyard in the world. What 1956 01:54:51.680 --> 01:54:58.279 else would be higher? All right, we got three rounds 1957 01:54:58.479 --> 01:55:01.199 be the booker to do you guys killed it tonight. 1958 01:55:02.359 --> 01:55:07.520 My reward to you. Let us begin, Ladies and gentlemen. 1959 01:55:07.840 --> 01:55:13.800 It is now time to be the booker. Oh, it's time, baby, 1960 01:55:14.760 --> 01:55:19.479 it's time. It's Vader time. It's time to be the booker. 1961 01:55:22.680 --> 01:55:25.600 This is round number one, which means we're booking nine 1962 01:55:25.680 --> 01:55:28.279 matches tonight. And I think what I'll do is I'll 1963 01:55:28.279 --> 01:55:32.760 save the stipulations for the final round, so we'll pick 1964 01:55:32.800 --> 01:55:36.279 STIPs for all the matches in round three. Let us begin, 1965 01:55:37.039 --> 01:55:39.039 would tag team be the booker as we usually do, 1966 01:55:41.479 --> 01:55:47.880 as we take this here for spin, and we begin 1967 01:55:48.319 --> 01:55:56.760 with We're Pungievice, Rocky Romero and Trent BARRETTA is how 1968 01:55:56.800 --> 01:56:06.640 we are beginning. Be the booker. Rapunkievice, M Rapunkievice is 1969 01:56:06.680 --> 01:56:15.199 gonna take on American Alpha, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan say. 1970 01:56:15.239 --> 01:56:16.840 I was on the fence about how this was gonna 1971 01:56:16.920 --> 01:56:21.399 end up. I was a big American Alpha fan, and 1972 01:56:21.439 --> 01:56:23.479 I'm very sad they never got a proper run on 1973 01:56:23.520 --> 01:56:33.199 the main roster together. Loved American Alpha. When was the 1974 01:56:33.239 --> 01:56:36.560 last time we landed on h on who Ower spying 1975 01:56:36.600 --> 01:56:40.119 games American alf I think we landed on them once before. 1976 01:56:42.359 --> 01:56:44.720 Women's be the Booker. I know we've chosen this woman 1977 01:56:44.800 --> 01:56:48.560 before we had Emma. I don't think Emma's even wrestling anymore. 1978 01:56:53.840 --> 01:56:59.880 Emma gonna go one on one with machi Ito just 1979 01:57:00.079 --> 01:57:05.520 sounds like a terrible match. Oh, where's machi Itto? But 1980 01:57:05.560 --> 01:57:07.840 I haven't heard machi Etho's name mentioned in a while. 1981 01:57:12.760 --> 01:57:15.319 Men's be the Booker. Our first main event of the 1982 01:57:15.399 --> 01:57:20.640 evening begins with Arnold Schwarzeneger the Terminator. Look at this, 1983 01:57:20.800 --> 01:57:29.760 The terminator is in the main event, the governor. They 1984 01:57:29.800 --> 01:57:35.239 call him a governor too. Bet he's glad he's not 1985 01:57:35.279 --> 01:57:42.279 the governor right now. Wouldn't want that headache. Arnold Schwarzenegger 1986 01:57:42.399 --> 01:57:46.279 is going to step in the ring against uh oh, 1987 01:57:46.479 --> 01:57:56.359 Tony DiAngelo had your opponent whacked? Choose again carefully. Somebody 1988 01:57:56.479 --> 01:57:59.319 is sleeping with the fishes. I don't know who it was. 1989 01:58:00.560 --> 01:58:13.960 We gotta choose again. Somebody bit the dust. Arnold Schwarzenegger 1990 01:58:14.159 --> 01:58:27.600 against Bill Goldberg. Look, everyone, it's Gooberg. Talk about the 1991 01:58:27.640 --> 01:58:32.680 blind leading the blind, My god, the injuries that would 1992 01:58:32.680 --> 01:58:41.479 take place in this match, the absolute state of this 1993 01:58:41.600 --> 01:58:45.800 main event. Yes, Gooberg is with us. If you missed 1994 01:58:45.840 --> 01:58:47.800 that great moment on TNT last night, I was talking 1995 01:58:47.840 --> 01:58:51.159 about Goldberg and Gunther, and for some reason I started saying, 1996 01:58:51.199 --> 01:58:53.680 I said Goulberg, like, it's like I merged the two 1997 01:58:53.720 --> 01:58:57.119 of them together, and we had a very nice laugh 1998 01:58:57.159 --> 01:59:00.920 about Guldberg, which I thought, I actually think it is 1999 01:59:01.000 --> 01:59:02.720 quite an appropriate name for him to use here in 2000 01:59:02.760 --> 01:59:04.439 this final run that he's going to have this year. 2001 01:59:11.359 --> 01:59:20.159 Charlotte says, three boring minutes. Interesting train wreck. Yeah, train 2002 01:59:20.199 --> 01:59:26.920 wreck is a good way to put it. Oh man, 2003 01:59:29.279 --> 01:59:32.560 you knew I wasn't giving the bell to Gulberg in 2004 01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:39.680 my main event. You had to know that. We begin 2005 01:59:40.359 --> 01:59:43.640 round number two, you're get in three. This is round two. 2006 01:59:45.439 --> 01:59:50.359 We gotta do better than that. Let's see. Let's see 2007 01:59:50.359 --> 01:59:55.760 those Gulberg emojis, everybody, Let's see the ghost. Couple of weeks, 2008 01:59:55.760 --> 01:59:58.279 we're all going to be in Atlanta. Goulberg is going 2009 01:59:58.359 --> 02:00:08.079 to be back. Get ready Broke Solo and JD for 2010 02:00:08.239 --> 02:00:10.479 five minutes. Yeah, I've never turned that red in my 2011 02:00:10.680 --> 02:00:14.720 entire life. That looked like my blood pressure was like 2012 02:00:15.159 --> 02:00:17.800 three hundred over two hundred or something. All right, tag 2013 02:00:17.840 --> 02:00:21.119 team to be the booker. We have the fabulous Rougea Brothers. 2014 02:00:21.119 --> 02:00:23.720 But see this is from my favorite period where they 2015 02:00:23.760 --> 02:00:26.920 had the little American flags and they were mocking everybody. 2016 02:00:27.000 --> 02:00:29.960 They were the All American Boys. They had great theme 2017 02:00:30.039 --> 02:00:42.399 music too. The fabulous Rougeo Brothers are gonna be taken 2018 02:00:42.439 --> 02:00:48.479 on Doom. Ron Simmons and Butcher Read and look who's 2019 02:00:48.520 --> 02:00:54.800 in the middle, Terry Fuck, Terry Funk, Teddy Long. What 2020 02:00:54.840 --> 02:00:59.319 the hell is wrong with me? Teddy Long, Terry Funk 2021 02:00:59.359 --> 02:01:01.000 would have been a hell of a manager for Doom, 2022 02:01:01.800 --> 02:01:07.600 but that ain't Terry Funk. I think Solo needs sleep. 2023 02:01:07.840 --> 02:01:11.359 Fucking Guildberg. Last night, I'm calling Teddy Long Terry Funk. 2024 02:01:11.359 --> 02:01:12.720 I don't know what the hell's wrong with me. This 2025 02:01:12.760 --> 02:01:14.600 is what happens when you sleep four hours a night. 2026 02:01:16.279 --> 02:01:18.239 What the hell is gonna happen on the SmackDown stream 2027 02:01:18.239 --> 02:01:26.520 this Friday. Our women's be the booker. We have Wendy Richter, 2028 02:01:27.640 --> 02:01:32.199 the former women's world champion Tony Storm. Timeless Tony Storm 2029 02:01:32.239 --> 02:01:36.520 never did get her match with Wendy Richter. Maybe she'll 2030 02:01:36.520 --> 02:01:38.680 get her match and be the booker. Timeless Tony Storm 2031 02:01:38.720 --> 02:01:42.600 is in here. You know, wouldn't that be something if 2032 02:01:42.600 --> 02:01:48.039 we landed on timeless Tony Storm and Wendy Richter. That 2033 02:01:48.159 --> 02:01:56.239 is definitely not timeless Tony Storm. That is Rosa Mendez 2034 02:01:58.279 --> 02:02:06.159 and that is an automatic buzz all right, our second 2035 02:02:06.159 --> 02:02:11.119 main event of the night. We already buzzed one main event. 2036 02:02:12.439 --> 02:02:17.560 We need a winner here, all right? All right? We 2037 02:02:17.640 --> 02:02:21.760 have the monster Abyss points to whoever remembers the name 2038 02:02:21.880 --> 02:02:24.319 of the giant board with the nails in it that 2039 02:02:24.359 --> 02:02:30.359 he's holding in his hand. Here in this photo, we 2040 02:02:30.479 --> 02:02:53.479 have Abyss against Solo Socoa. That's not a main event. 2041 02:02:54.319 --> 02:02:57.680 I don't give a shit what anybody says. That is 2042 02:02:57.720 --> 02:03:01.279 not a main event. I am trying to a main event, 2043 02:03:02.479 --> 02:03:06.560 a match on the marquee that you look at and 2044 02:03:06.600 --> 02:03:09.399 you go, holy shit, I need to buy a ticket 2045 02:03:09.439 --> 02:03:18.920 to see that. That is not Abyss and Solosco. That's 2046 02:03:18.960 --> 02:03:25.920 two in a row. Now gone lost. What are we 2047 02:03:25.960 --> 02:03:33.239 doing here? What is going on here? Is Russo booking 2048 02:03:33.279 --> 02:03:36.840 this show? I think so. I think he's invaded bro. 2049 02:03:41.199 --> 02:03:43.800 All right, I said we're doing stipulations here, didn't I okay, 2050 02:03:43.800 --> 02:03:47.720 why don't we pick the stip first. We are doing 2051 02:03:47.760 --> 02:03:51.399 stipulations for all of these matches. We're going to begin 2052 02:03:51.439 --> 02:03:53.960 with the tag team match, and it is going to 2053 02:03:54.000 --> 02:03:58.680 be a tag team TLC match. Now, there have been 2054 02:03:58.720 --> 02:04:01.359 some classic ones. Edgend, Christian and the Hardys and the 2055 02:04:01.399 --> 02:04:08.800 Dudleys were in most of them. Let's see they're in 2056 02:04:08.840 --> 02:04:11.279 here too. Edge and Christian are in here, the Hardy's, 2057 02:04:11.279 --> 02:04:21.439 the Dudleys, They're all in here. So let's see. Uh God, 2058 02:04:22.439 --> 02:04:27.479 we have the Butcher and the Blade, the Butcher and 2059 02:04:27.560 --> 02:04:36.760 the Blade in this TLC match, and they will be 2060 02:04:36.800 --> 02:04:47.119 taking on too Cool. This is a disaster of a Knight. 2061 02:04:48.800 --> 02:04:53.399 Sometimes it's just one of those nights. This is turning 2062 02:04:53.439 --> 02:05:03.159 into one of those nights. Get out of here, getting 2063 02:05:03.159 --> 02:05:08.399 ahead of myself our women's match. This is why I 2064 02:05:08.399 --> 02:05:10.079 don't That's why I don't gamble. Like if I went 2065 02:05:10.119 --> 02:05:11.840 to Vegas or I went to Atlantic City and I 2066 02:05:11.920 --> 02:05:16.000 hit like the crap stable or the poker table, you know, 2067 02:05:16.039 --> 02:05:18.279 I'm like blowing on the dice and like, this is 2068 02:05:18.279 --> 02:05:22.119 what would happen. I would lose my shirt, okay, and 2069 02:05:22.159 --> 02:05:25.079 ain't nobody need to see that? This is why I 2070 02:05:25.119 --> 02:05:33.439 don't gamble. We land on on a pole bro as 2071 02:05:33.520 --> 02:05:41.640 our stipulation for the women's match. What what is going 2072 02:05:41.720 --> 02:05:49.439 on here? I don't know what's going on here, but 2073 02:05:49.520 --> 02:05:52.560 apparently we're putting Are we putting two women on a pole? 2074 02:05:52.600 --> 02:05:54.359 I don't know what we're doing here? We're having a 2075 02:05:54.399 --> 02:05:57.199 pole match, everybody, So the two women we land on 2076 02:05:57.319 --> 02:06:00.640 are going to be basically, I guess pole dancing. They're 2077 02:06:00.680 --> 02:06:04.159 going to be pole dancing. That that definitely is a 2078 02:06:04.720 --> 02:06:10.920 Russo stipulation. Well, well, I mean, all right, we've got 2079 02:06:10.960 --> 02:06:17.760 Evn Marie all read. Everything is going to be in 2080 02:06:17.800 --> 02:06:28.680 the poll match and uh Evn Marie and uh well, 2081 02:06:28.840 --> 02:06:43.279 I mean, uhh we won one. We finally won one. 2082 02:06:45.159 --> 02:06:52.560 Not the way that I expected, but we finally won one. 2083 02:06:52.880 --> 02:06:56.560 Now we come to our third and final made event 2084 02:06:56.680 --> 02:07:00.960 of the evening. Don't ask questions and just go with it. 2085 02:07:03.159 --> 02:07:07.800 That wasn't a wrestling match. Here we go stipulation for 2086 02:07:07.840 --> 02:07:11.800 our main event. This main event is going to be 2087 02:07:13.840 --> 02:07:20.079 a stretcher match. It's gonna be a stretcher match. Now 2088 02:07:20.119 --> 02:07:23.520 we find out who it's going to be with. Are 2089 02:07:23.560 --> 02:07:27.960 you ready? Here we go. I'm blowing on the dice. 2090 02:07:28.640 --> 02:07:42.439 I'm rolling the dice. Fuck off, fuck you, you fucking fuck. 2091 02:07:47.159 --> 02:07:50.439 How did we go from on a pole bro to 2092 02:07:50.760 --> 02:07:59.159 Vince Russo in our main event? I don't even know 2093 02:07:59.199 --> 02:08:04.720 what to say to this, don't This truly has been 2094 02:08:04.720 --> 02:08:11.159 invaded by Russo tonight. This has been the Russo takeover 2095 02:08:11.920 --> 02:08:16.840 of Be the Booker. Yeah, we have gone full WCW 2096 02:08:16.920 --> 02:08:22.960 two thousand on this street. And this is a stretcher match. 2097 02:08:23.000 --> 02:08:26.640 By the way, don't forget. I can think of one 2098 02:08:26.640 --> 02:08:28.880 person who would love to put Vince Russo on a stretcher. 2099 02:08:28.920 --> 02:08:33.520 He's in here too. This is going to be very interesting. 2100 02:08:37.760 --> 02:08:40.880 This is going to be interesting. Vince Russo in a 2101 02:08:41.000 --> 02:08:55.520 stretcher match against Alberto Dell. Dipshit, we have just completed. 2102 02:08:55.800 --> 02:09:00.479 I am safely going to assume that this is the 2103 02:09:00.479 --> 02:09:07.319 case that we have just completed the worst series of 2104 02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:17.039 Be the Booker rounds in the history of Be the Booker. Yeah, 2105 02:09:17.520 --> 02:09:20.720 it doesn't. It just doesn't get any worse. I can't 2106 02:09:20.760 --> 02:09:28.960 think of one that's worse. It doesn't exist. I I 2107 02:09:29.439 --> 02:09:33.560 wish we could have done better. I feel like I have. 2108 02:09:34.720 --> 02:09:40.159 I feel like I've let you down. I feel like 2109 02:09:40.199 --> 02:09:45.239 I've let you down. But that's all I got. The 2110 02:09:45.439 --> 02:09:48.920 single worst edition of Be the Booker in the history 2111 02:09:49.119 --> 02:09:54.520 of this channel has just been completed. There's been worse. 2112 02:09:54.640 --> 02:09:57.840 Let's Spend says that it's been worse. I find that 2113 02:09:58.000 --> 02:09:59.960 very hard to believe. We've had We've had worse mass 2114 02:10:00.840 --> 02:10:04.239 but it was just one round of shit after another. 2115 02:10:08.640 --> 02:10:11.479 I can't believe. I can't believe that we went from 2116 02:10:11.520 --> 02:10:15.000 a pole Bro match to then Russo in the main event. 2117 02:10:18.279 --> 02:10:22.319 How does that happen? Won't be coming back to watch 2118 02:10:22.399 --> 02:10:26.199 this promotion. We just killed the territory. We killed the town, 2119 02:10:26.399 --> 02:10:40.039 is what we did tonight. Congratulations warhog Rambo. Vince Russo 2120 02:10:40.199 --> 02:10:47.439 has killed another provid has killed another promotion. What is that? 2121 02:10:47.560 --> 02:10:52.720 Number two? Three? Warhog Rambo says, is n Italia Markova 2122 02:10:52.800 --> 02:10:55.560 and Be the Booker? She is not? She probably should 2123 02:10:55.560 --> 02:10:58.600 be though she used to be our House of Glory 2124 02:10:58.640 --> 02:11:04.760 women's champion and Richie buy or Sell even Marie or 2125 02:11:05.399 --> 02:11:10.279 Mandy Rose also a Mandy Rose? Also what was the 2126 02:11:10.399 --> 02:11:12.880 rock bothered by on n X team? Now he was 2127 02:11:13.079 --> 02:11:16.479 poking fun at all the people who were bitching the 2128 02:11:16.600 --> 02:11:20.319 night before about him and Cody being friends and drinking 2129 02:11:20.359 --> 02:11:25.000 tequila together. And you know, he said, basically, shut your 2130 02:11:25.000 --> 02:11:28.039 bitch ass up and enjoy the ride that the Rock 2131 02:11:28.119 --> 02:11:36.359 is taking you on. That's basically what he said. Gouldberg 2132 02:11:36.479 --> 02:11:38.760 is not a super shot yet, but it will be. 2133 02:11:39.119 --> 02:11:44.600 I'm I'm contemplating ideas. I need a good image of 2134 02:11:45.399 --> 02:11:48.640 Goldberg as like a like an undead zombie or a 2135 02:11:48.680 --> 02:11:53.960 ghoul of some kind. I know I'm gonna I'm gonna 2136 02:11:53.960 --> 02:11:58.279 want that, and so then I'll have to try. I'll 2137 02:11:58.279 --> 02:11:59.920 try to be creative and see where we can come up. 2138 02:12:00.239 --> 02:12:04.199 But yes, we'll put together a Goulberg superchat for sure 2139 02:12:06.800 --> 02:12:09.119 is Charles Mason and be the booker. Now, fuck that 2140 02:12:09.159 --> 02:12:14.560 guy Russo put himself over. Yeah, it's almost like Russo, 2141 02:12:15.119 --> 02:12:17.760 you know, as if he one day would have made 2142 02:12:17.800 --> 02:12:24.359 himself the world champion or something. Solo's card is still 2143 02:12:24.359 --> 02:12:30.079 better than Helena cell In twenty nineteen, you talk about 2144 02:12:30.199 --> 02:12:32.760 Hunter and Tony booking that you pulled this shit tonight. 2145 02:12:33.399 --> 02:12:37.640 I have failed you. I mean, look, I have failed you. 2146 02:12:37.720 --> 02:12:42.920 I don't know what else to say. Well, thank you guys, 2147 02:12:42.680 --> 02:12:45.119 thanks for all the added rounds. Would be the Booker, 2148 02:12:45.239 --> 02:12:49.680 because look look what happened, but at least we hit 2149 02:12:49.720 --> 02:12:55.720 our goal. Hog executives are watching this be the Booker 2150 02:12:56.119 --> 02:13:01.680 and are reconsidering your role as commissioner. I'll see them 2151 02:13:01.680 --> 02:13:04.279 in Chicago. I guess they may pull me aside and 2152 02:13:04.279 --> 02:13:08.319 pull the plug on me next week. I guess we'll 2153 02:13:08.319 --> 02:13:12.920 find out. My time may soon be up. I have 2154 02:13:13.000 --> 02:13:18.640 brought shame upon them. James says he's going to be 2155 02:13:18.680 --> 02:13:22.199 having surgery for the first time on a broken wrist, 2156 02:13:23.680 --> 02:13:26.800 and he is scared. Wish me luck, James, You're going 2157 02:13:26.840 --> 02:13:29.880 to be fine. I am sure that everything is going 2158 02:13:29.960 --> 02:13:32.920 to work out exactly the way that it's supposed to. 2159 02:13:33.239 --> 02:13:35.800 It's nothing to be scared about. I assume they're going 2160 02:13:35.880 --> 02:13:38.359 to put you out for it, so you're not gonna 2161 02:13:38.359 --> 02:13:44.319 feel anything. And I've had surgery before and I made 2162 02:13:44.319 --> 02:13:48.239 it out okay, so I know you will too, So 2163 02:13:49.000 --> 02:13:53.079 best of luck. Well, I'm going to be back with 2164 02:13:53.119 --> 02:13:55.960 you on Friday night. I got a rare night off tomorrow, 2165 02:13:56.000 --> 02:13:58.039 which I'm very much looking forward to so I can 2166 02:13:58.079 --> 02:14:01.920 catch up on some TV that I've I've fallen behind in. 2167 02:14:03.359 --> 02:14:08.199 But Friday night, I'll be live after SmackDown, and maybe 2168 02:14:08.239 --> 02:14:10.399 we'll have Gulberg with us by that. I don't know. 2169 02:14:10.680 --> 02:14:13.119 We already have the new Hogan Superchat, the new twenty 2170 02:14:13.119 --> 02:14:17.079 three dollars one, so we'll have to see where Gulberg 2171 02:14:17.199 --> 02:14:22.800 may fall in the pecking order there. I might cycle 2172 02:14:22.840 --> 02:14:26.079 out an old one I don't know. Instead of just 2173 02:14:26.119 --> 02:14:28.640 continuously adding to the list. I like to cycle out 2174 02:14:28.760 --> 02:14:30.920 superchats and then replace them with a new one every 2175 02:14:30.960 --> 02:14:32.600 now and then. So I'll have to figure it out. 2176 02:14:33.800 --> 02:14:36.960 But yeah, if you got any ideas or any images 2177 02:14:36.960 --> 02:14:41.079 floating around of an undead Goldberg, would I would consider it. 2178 02:14:42.680 --> 02:14:44.600 Send it my way and I'll see if it's useful. 2179 02:14:47.239 --> 02:14:49.479 You would have gotten a job in WCW in two 2180 02:14:49.520 --> 02:14:53.479 thousand with this kind of booking. I wouldn't have wanted 2181 02:14:53.520 --> 02:14:57.479 to work in WCW in two thousand. If they offered 2182 02:14:57.520 --> 02:15:00.880 me a job, I would have said, no, who wants 2183 02:15:00.880 --> 02:15:06.119 to go work for a sinking ship. You can get 2184 02:15:06.159 --> 02:15:09.000 rid of the learning tree. What do you think is 2185 02:15:09.039 --> 02:15:14.800 it time? Is it time to cut down the learning tree? 2186 02:15:15.000 --> 02:15:16.840 I don't know. People seem to love it so much. 2187 02:15:18.560 --> 02:15:22.640 I'll look at Steve Steve's already on it, man, Steve Mellow. 2188 02:15:22.720 --> 02:15:25.720 Shout out to Steve, He's already on it. Am. I 2189 02:15:25.760 --> 02:15:29.159 gonna like it. I gotta really like it, though. See 2190 02:15:29.199 --> 02:15:32.319 if I'm gonna use it, he's got to look like 2191 02:15:32.359 --> 02:15:34.359 a ghoul though. It's gotta have some kind of like 2192 02:15:34.479 --> 02:15:40.159 ghost element to it. We'll see. I'll have to take 2193 02:15:40.199 --> 02:15:41.600 a look at what he sent me here. He already 2194 02:15:41.640 --> 02:15:46.439 sent me something. This guy works fast. He doesn't mess around. 2195 02:15:46.520 --> 02:15:52.000 I like it, all right, Be well, stay safe, I'll 2196 02:15:52.000 --> 02:15:55.479 see you back here for the Friday night stream. And 2197 02:15:55.640 --> 02:15:57.600 if you missed it, we had fun on the Raw 2198 02:15:57.640 --> 02:16:00.319 review Big Raw Review two over thirty thousand use and 2199 02:16:00.399 --> 02:16:02.640 counting on the Raw review from Monday night, and thank 2200 02:16:02.680 --> 02:16:05.319 you for that. Picked up a whole bunch of new subs. 2201 02:16:05.359 --> 02:16:07.239 By the way. You know, let me check real quick 2202 02:16:07.239 --> 02:16:12.199 here before I sign off, because we are very close 2203 02:16:13.399 --> 02:16:17.520 to eighty three thousand subs. All right, We're about ten 2204 02:16:17.600 --> 02:16:21.039 subscribers away, so I think there's a pretty good chance 2205 02:16:21.039 --> 02:16:23.399 that by Friday night we may hit eighty three thousand. 2206 02:16:23.920 --> 02:16:27.359 So maybe we'll celebrate if we do. Be well, stay 2207 02:16:27.359 --> 02:16:31.159 safe if you're in California, please in all seriousness. Stay safe, 2208 02:16:31.439 --> 02:16:33.760 it's very scary out there, and I'll see you back 2209 02:16:33.760 --> 02:16:35.440 here on Friday night. Take care, guys,
