Speaker 1: What's going on guys. It is a Wednesday night. That
Speaker 1: means it is your aw Dynamite review. It is January eighth,
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty five. I am the Solemn Monster. Bet
Speaker 1: a lot of wrestling over the last few days. I
Speaker 1: watched back to bag Tokyo Dome shows over the weekend.
Speaker 1: What I was most looking forward to on that second show,
Speaker 1: Wrestled Dynasty, was the return of Kenny Omega. He had
Speaker 1: a match against Gabe Kid on that show. We have
Speaker 1: not seen Omega in the ring and over a year,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to see what Kenny Omega would we
Speaker 1: get on that show, and I am happy to report
Speaker 1: the Kenny Omega that we got was the Kenny Omega
Speaker 1: of old Kenny Omega went out there and already here
Speaker 1: we're eight days into the year, had the match of
Speaker 1: the Year for twenty twenty five. So I knew coming
Speaker 1: into this show, Kenny Omega can still go. The old
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega is still there. But what would they have
Speaker 1: him doing on the show. Because Kenny Omega was advertised
Speaker 1: for Dynamite tonight, didn't say what he was going to
Speaker 1: be doing, didn't say who he was going to be
Speaker 1: addressing or anything like that. But I wanted to see
Speaker 1: what are they going to do with him? Who are
Speaker 1: they going to have him feud with? As that first
Speaker 1: program back, you know, we're building now to this big
Speaker 1: show in Australia next month, and so they built everything
Speaker 1: around Omega and they saved him for the closing segment
Speaker 1: on this show. He came out there and we had,
Speaker 1: by the time this show was over, i'd say, a
Speaker 1: pretty good sense of where things seemed to be headed
Speaker 1: for Grand Slam. But the thing I will say about
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega, It's great to have him back. Number one.
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for the longest time. A lot
Speaker 1: of people made hay about the fact that he was
Speaker 1: making his in ring return on a New Japan show,
Speaker 1: and really it was a joint show, but I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, it was a New Japan show. Why is
Speaker 1: he making his return there? Why is he not making
Speaker 1: his in ring return first in aw Right, which is
Speaker 1: his home company. And I think he kind of looked
Speaker 1: at it as this loyalty that he still has to
Speaker 1: New Japan. And also so just what am I gonna
Speaker 1: look like? What am I gonna feel like? All right?
Speaker 1: Let me let me get in the ring and move
Speaker 1: these bones again and get in there with somebody and
Speaker 1: see how my body reacts. And he passed that test
Speaker 1: with flying colors. So now the ring rust there was
Speaker 1: no ring rusty, there was ring rust. It's all shook
Speaker 1: off now and now we have him back on Dynamite
Speaker 1: hopefully every single week. This is what Tony Khan has
Speaker 1: needed for a very long time. MJF is back right
Speaker 1: fairly recently. They got him back. He was gone for
Speaker 1: a while. But Kenny is their guy. Kenny Omega, he
Speaker 1: is he is AW. He is one of the founding
Speaker 1: fathers of this company. He is a former AW World champion.
Speaker 1: He is the heart and soul of this brand and
Speaker 1: he has been missed and now Tony Khan has him
Speaker 1: back in the fold to kick off the new year,
Speaker 1: and that's a huge thing. But what we got tonight
Speaker 1: was a tease for something with Omega and Osprey and
Speaker 1: the Kallus family leading into the Australia show netw The
Speaker 1: one thing I am I'm watching for and I am
Speaker 1: hoping for is that as we get deeper into the year,
Speaker 1: Kenny needs to be the guy they sort of rally
Speaker 1: around and the guy they build around and hopefully he
Speaker 1: can stay healthy and you knock on wood, everything will
Speaker 1: be fine and he won't have a relapse of the
Speaker 1: diverticulitis or anything, because that's a very serious thing. But
Speaker 1: they need to really build around him. He is the
Speaker 1: nucleus of this company and he could talk all he
Speaker 1: wants to and promos about oh AW doesn't need me
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Yes they do now more than
Speaker 1: ever AW needs him, And maybe it won't make a
Speaker 1: huge dent as far as attendance and stuff. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's going to really rely on any one person,
Speaker 1: but he has to be part of this rebuilding process
Speaker 1: as we head into the new year trying to grow
Speaker 1: regrow this audience again. Kenny Omega is a familiar face
Speaker 1: that people know of from the beginning of AW. But
Speaker 1: also he can go out there and have kick ass
Speaker 1: matches that tear the house down, which is also part
Speaker 1: of the heart and soul of what this company was
Speaker 1: built on. You could talk about stories and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: but this company was built on having great fucking wrestling matches,
Speaker 1: and that's something Kenny Omega is better at than most
Speaker 1: people in wrestling today. So it was great to have
Speaker 1: him back on the show tonight. We also had a
Speaker 1: casino gauntlet match. Tony Kahn loves these gauntlet matches. We're
Speaker 1: hitting two of them. We had one tonight. We're getting
Speaker 1: another one for the women next week. But tonight it
Speaker 1: was to decide a number one contender for John Moxley's
Speaker 1: AW World Championship, who will challenge him on Dynamite next
Speaker 1: week for the AW title. It's the Maximum what are
Speaker 1: they calling him? Maximum Carnage? Is that what they're dubbing
Speaker 1: that episode, right, the Maximum Carnage episode of Dynamite. So
Speaker 1: we had our gauntlet match tonight and a surprise winner
Speaker 1: somebody I was not expecting to be the victor and
Speaker 1: to go on to get that title match next week.
Speaker 1: Powerhouse Hobbs. He's challenging John Moxley next week for the
Speaker 1: CHAMPIONSHI and he is somebody who has been in the
Speaker 1: ring with Moxley before. In fact, the last time that
Speaker 1: he shared a ring with John Moxley before tonight, he
Speaker 1: got hurt. That's when he ruptured his I think it
Speaker 1: was a Beteller tendon injury and he missed seven months
Speaker 1: of his career. So there is some history there to play.
Speaker 1: Off of They don't have a lot of time to
Speaker 1: play off that history because the matches in a week.
Speaker 1: They do have Collision this week, and I'm hoping they
Speaker 1: lean more into that. We'll talk more about that when
Speaker 1: we get there. But that was a refreshing finish. Now
Speaker 1: what happens next week, I'm not expecting a refreshing outcome
Speaker 1: to that match. But of all the choices they could
Speaker 1: have gone with in this Gauntlet match, I don't object
Speaker 1: to them putting Powerhouse Hobs over in that situation. What
Speaker 1: I do object to is focusing too much airtime on
Speaker 1: Jeff Jarrett and MJF. We had a Jeff Jarrett MJF
Speaker 1: segment that honestly, the segment itself was not bad, but
Speaker 1: the idea that this is what MJF is potentially going
Speaker 1: to be wrapped up in here for a while, that just,
Speaker 1: you know, that just makes me shake my head. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. We have some potential news as well
Speaker 1: on Malachi Black. Stop me if you've heard this before.
Speaker 1: I know these reports bubble up every few months. I'm
Speaker 1: waiting on the inevitable Instagram video, the rant on Instagram
Speaker 1: from Malachi refuting all of this, but we do have
Speaker 1: news on Malachi Black, and it's being reported this time
Speaker 1: by a source that I do think is very reputable,
Speaker 1: and so there could very well be something to this
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that as well here as we
Speaker 1: go on in the review. None of the new champions
Speaker 1: that were crowned AW personalities who walked out of Wressell
Speaker 1: Kingdom or Wressell Dynasty with titles this weekend, we're actually
Speaker 1: on the show. We got a video package, but there
Speaker 1: was no Mercedes Monet who won her match with Mina
Speaker 1: Sheikaw on Sunday. No Kenoski Takeshta, who is now a
Speaker 1: double champion. He won the never open weight title this weekend,
Speaker 1: so he has that and the international title. He was
Speaker 1: not there, and the Young Bucks were not there. That
Speaker 1: the Young Bucks have been off of AW television for
Speaker 1: a while. They are now the IWGP Tag Team champions.
Speaker 1: Once again, they were not present on the show either.
Speaker 1: But again, this is your Dynamite review. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about everything top to bottom here on this show.
Speaker 1: It is January eighth, and before I even go on,
Speaker 1: I just want to say to all of the folks
Speaker 1: who are out west in California, right now who are
Speaker 1: potentially in the path of these raging wildfires, and it's
Speaker 1: all over the news and it's only getting worse. It's
Speaker 1: very scary the way this is spreading, and it's just
Speaker 1: sort of out of control. So if you are in
Speaker 1: the area, if you are in the path of what's
Speaker 1: going on there, if you are impacted in any way
Speaker 1: by it, please stay safe because that is a very
Speaker 1: scary situation. It took all of one week, but the
Speaker 1: Pointer Sisters have been benched, at least for this week.
Speaker 1: They were already on the back burner. We had the
Speaker 1: new Dynamite theme song I'm So Excited last week by
Speaker 1: the Pointer Sisters, and this week we had a cold open,
Speaker 1: so we had no intro music at all. I hope
Speaker 1: he didn't pay too much money for it, but yes,
Speaker 1: we had no Pointer Sisters Tonight. Ex Caliber, Matt Monard
Speaker 1: and Ian ric Abonni were on commentary tonight. Ian was
Speaker 1: in to replace Tony Shavanni, who we were told was
Speaker 1: on assignment. So they opened the show tonight with will
Speaker 1: Osprey one on one with Buddy Matthews. Never a bad
Speaker 1: idea to open the show with a will Osprey match,
Speaker 1: as Buddy Matthews entered. They were airing highlights on the
Speaker 1: screen on the inset from his win way back in
Speaker 1: November on the Full Gear pre show on the Zero Hour,
Speaker 1: he won a four way match. That's the last time
Speaker 1: we saw him on TV. We have not seen him
Speaker 1: in action since until tonight. And it's I said it then,
Speaker 1: I'll say it now. Very weird to me how they
Speaker 1: went right from Full Gear into the Continental Classic. Buddy
Speaker 1: Matthews won that four way match. You know who else
Speaker 1: was in that match with the Beast Mortas. They put
Speaker 1: the Beast Mortas in the Continental Classic and not Buddy Matthews. Now,
Speaker 1: the Beast Morte's didn't win. I don't think he won
Speaker 1: a single match. I think he had zero points in
Speaker 1: the entire tournament. Better him than Buddy Matthews, I guess.
Speaker 1: But it's just bizarre to me that he would win.
Speaker 1: Mortos loses, but he earns a spot in the Continental Class.
Speaker 1: Just doesn't make any sense that the announcers here tried
Speaker 1: to sell the idea that Matthews was upset that Osprey
Speaker 1: had eliminated Brody King from the Continental Classic. I think
Speaker 1: he's upset about the Continental Classic, although for very different reasons.
Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with brody king. But these two
Speaker 1: were moving at a fast pace. Here, they were having
Speaker 1: a great match here both men they hit the ropes,
Speaker 1: they crashed into each other on a double cross body
Speaker 1: attempt that left them down. Ospray managed to land a
Speaker 1: leaping kick and then a flying forearm. Matthews avoided a
Speaker 1: super kick in the corner and he delivered a lung blower.
Speaker 1: Ospray rolled to the outside and Matthews delivered a somersault.
Speaker 1: Sent on back inside. Matthew's delivered a meteora from the
Speaker 1: top rope covered him for a near fall. Both men
Speaker 1: ended up on the apron. Ospray attempted an oscutter from
Speaker 1: the apron, so he jumped onto the ropes, dove backwards.
Speaker 1: Matthews caught him and he sent Ospray flying off the
Speaker 1: apron right into the edge of the announced desk. And
Speaker 1: when he hit the desk, ex Caliber made the comment,
Speaker 1: this is a solid oak desk. He said, not a
Speaker 1: chance in hell that that is a solid oak announced desk.
Speaker 1: Not a chance. Ospray managed to come back in the ring.
Speaker 1: Matthews avoided an oscutter, landed a stomp for a close
Speaker 1: near fall, Osprey recovered, he hit his styles clash, which
Speaker 1: got another close near fall, and then he delivered the
Speaker 1: Hidden Blade as Matthews just sat there on his knees
Speaker 1: staring at him, just taking it, and he hit the
Speaker 1: Hidden Blade and he won the match. And this was
Speaker 1: just like the way that Malachi Black lost to Adam Cole.
Speaker 1: They had a match a couple of months ago. At
Speaker 1: least in that match, though, if you remember Malachi, he
Speaker 1: was selling a leg injury leg or an ankle, whatever
Speaker 1: it was. He couldn't stand up, so he just sat
Speaker 1: there across the legged and basically said, hey, just give
Speaker 1: it to me, and Adam Cole lowered the boom. So
Speaker 1: it was a very similar finish, except in that case
Speaker 1: Malachi had a reason he couldn't stand up, so he
Speaker 1: basically just kind of gave up and said, all right,
Speaker 1: hit me with it, hit me with your best shot here.
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense. It was just stupid, because
Speaker 1: it's not like he was defenseless or he was kind
Speaker 1: of out of it in loopy. He's just like, all right,
Speaker 1: just go ahead, just hit me in the head, just okay.
Speaker 1: So that looked very dumb. So Ospray picks up the
Speaker 1: wind other than that real good match. When it was over,
Speaker 1: Ospray grabbed a microphone and he began to put over
Speaker 1: Buddy Matthews. At first though he accidentally called him Buddy Murphy,
Speaker 1: and he quickly corrected himself. He realized what he had done,
Speaker 1: so he told him that he has admired him from Afar.
Speaker 1: He told him that he and Brodie King they don't
Speaker 1: need to be a follower for anyone. He said he
Speaker 1: could see him holding tag team gold or singles gold
Speaker 1: if he worked hard enough, and if he ever needed
Speaker 1: a man in his corner, he would be there for him.
Speaker 1: And Osprey offered his hand for a handshake and Matthews accepted.
Speaker 1: So that was a nice moment. And you know he
Speaker 1: put him over there at the end, even though he
Speaker 1: won the match, he gave him the ring. Osprey left
Speaker 1: the ring. The fans were chanting Buddy. So this was
Speaker 1: this was their way, even in defeat, in trying to
Speaker 1: put Buddy Matthews over. Now, is it going to amount
Speaker 1: to anything? Probably not. Again, Unfortunately, we're at a point
Speaker 1: now in this company where when it comes to a
Speaker 1: lot of these undercard talents who they should be doing
Speaker 1: more with and I'd like to see them featured more
Speaker 1: on TV. You kind of get your hopes up and
Speaker 1: then you get let down. I'm not getting my hopes
Speaker 1: up about anything here. But if you're wondering, why, what
Speaker 1: was the purpose of this? Why are they going to
Speaker 1: split them away from the House of Black? Are they
Speaker 1: going to really give him a push? Is Malachi Black
Speaker 1: and to be upset that Osprey maybe is trying to
Speaker 1: drive these guys away from him. That was my first thought.
Speaker 1: But then I saw that Fightful Select had a report
Speaker 1: earlier tonight that those they have spoken with in AW
Speaker 1: are of the belief and that this is not confirmation
Speaker 1: of anything, but those they have spoken to in AAW
Speaker 1: are of the belief that Malachi Black was finishing up
Speaker 1: with AW if he has not already done so, and
Speaker 1: they did not clarify he would be appearing on TV
Speaker 1: again for the company. Now we have heard these rumors
Speaker 1: and reports. Now it feels like, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: like every two or three months, four months, we hear
Speaker 1: some Malachi Black rumor about him going back to WWE
Speaker 1: and or asking out of his contract or his contract
Speaker 1: is expiring, and then inevitably, he puts a video out
Speaker 1: on social media where you know he's not ranting and screaming,
Speaker 1: but you could tell he's just very annoyed that people
Speaker 1: are taught When I feel, honestly, the way that AW
Speaker 1: has been using him, if I were him, I would
Speaker 1: just be happy people are talking about me at all,
Speaker 1: because it's not as if they have featured him in
Speaker 1: any sort of meaningful story in quite some time. He's
Speaker 1: a very bizarre case. When I look back on him,
Speaker 1: and we could talk about a whole bunch of different people,
Speaker 1: he could talk about Miro. I mean, you know, the
Speaker 1: list is long of just very weird cases of guys
Speaker 1: that came over from WWE lot of potential, and then
Speaker 1: you ask yourself, where did it all go wrong? In
Speaker 1: AAW like, what the hell happened? Malachi would be at
Speaker 1: the top of that list, although Miro is a very
Speaker 1: curious case too. Malachi came into the company and he
Speaker 1: was pushed right out of the gate. He was put
Speaker 1: over Cody Rhodes. Okay, he made a huge impact when
Speaker 1: he first debuted, and you really thought, this guy is
Speaker 1: a future AW world champion. I like, I remember at
Speaker 1: the time, I was talking about mapping out the next
Speaker 1: two years of AW World title holders, and he was
Speaker 1: on my list because I just thought it's inevitable that
Speaker 1: at some point it might take a year, it might
Speaker 1: take a while he's going to be an AW World champion.
Speaker 1: And then at some point in the last year year
Speaker 1: and a half, I came to the realization, there's no
Speaker 1: fucking way that's gonna happen. It's just never gonna happen.
Speaker 1: That he was hurt for a while, he had a
Speaker 1: bad back injury, but that was a long time ago,
Speaker 1: so he has made it very clear he's not hurt.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been dealing with any kind of injury issues.
Speaker 1: He's been healthy, and he would get very annoyed that
Speaker 1: people would would be asking questions when it was very
Speaker 1: bizarre that he was not in a singles match for
Speaker 1: months and months and months, and then finally he started
Speaker 1: doing some singles matches, but Tony Khan was using him
Speaker 1: exclusively as a trio's wrestler, and Malachi Black is somebody
Speaker 1: who can deliver for Tony Khan in this case in
Speaker 1: a variety of ways, but as a single star, there
Speaker 1: is a lot of potential there. There is a lot
Speaker 1: of money to be made with somebody like that. I
Speaker 1: think in a singles role, he could be a singles
Speaker 1: champion in this company. And it just felt like Tony
Speaker 1: never he never saw him that way. He was largely
Speaker 1: protected but never really pushed. As the best way I
Speaker 1: could describe it. Not that he was undefeated and has
Speaker 1: never been beaten, but he was pretty protected. I would
Speaker 1: say he was protected more than most, but never seriously
Speaker 1: pushed out side of that opening feud with Cody, and
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand why. It doesn't make any
Speaker 1: sense to me, but it's clear as day that if
Speaker 1: he does stick around in AAW I mean, he's just
Speaker 1: going to be stuck spinning his wheels, and honestly, the
Speaker 1: best thing for him if he you know, I can't
Speaker 1: imagine that he is thrilled in the position that he's in,
Speaker 1: and that's just me. I don't know. I can't get
Speaker 1: in the man's head. But assuming that he is somebody
Speaker 1: who is motivated and driven and has goals, as many
Speaker 1: wrestlers do right, very goal oriented. They want to be
Speaker 1: high up on the card, or they want to be
Speaker 1: fighting for championships, because when you fight for championships. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a television show, but when you're fighting for championships,
Speaker 1: actually world championships, you're going to be higher up on
Speaker 1: the card, right, Why wouldn't he want to be higher
Speaker 1: up on the card. I refuse to believe that he
Speaker 1: is happy as a pig and shit with the position
Speaker 1: that he is in in this company. If this report
Speaker 1: is true and he really is exiting the company, it's
Speaker 1: for the better. It's for the better because clearly he
Speaker 1: has reached his ceiling, not because he doesn't have the
Speaker 1: talent to do more, because Tony Khan just doesn't have
Speaker 1: a spot for him. And if Tony Khan doesn't have
Speaker 1: a spot for him and he's not getting any younger,
Speaker 1: then he should leave and go somewhere else. And I
Speaker 1: could absolutely see him back in WWE. Clearly Triple H
Speaker 1: was a big fan of his when he was in NXT,
Speaker 1: and I think the Triple H could definitely use a
Speaker 1: guy like him. You could plug him into a variety
Speaker 1: of roles. Not even sure if he'll be a World
Speaker 1: Heavyweight champion, but at least he would be doing something.
Speaker 1: So if this is true, I hope it happens, and
Speaker 1: me personally I would love to see him back in
Speaker 1: WWE under a new administration, get a second lease on life,
Speaker 1: because it's just very clear to me if he's just
Speaker 1: stuck doing the House of Black, it's a waste of
Speaker 1: his talent. He could be doing a lot more than that.
Speaker 1: And for Brody King and Buddy Matthews, this is an
Speaker 1: opportunity for them as well, because Buddy Matthews a tremendous
Speaker 1: talent in the House of Black. Okay, but it feels
Speaker 1: like he's kind of held back by that Brody King.
Speaker 1: They've been using Brodie King a lot more than Buddy
Speaker 1: Matthews in a singles role, but Brodie King two years
Speaker 1: in a row, he was in the Continental Classic. If
Speaker 1: they are going to go their separate ways, and I
Speaker 1: kind of feel like they should. I don't think they
Speaker 1: need to be a tag team. I think you could
Speaker 1: do singles with them, although they make a hell of
Speaker 1: a team. But if they split them up, I think
Speaker 1: Brody and Julia heart I feel like they would stick together.
Speaker 1: Buddy I could see going off and doing his own thing,
Speaker 1: but I would see Brody and Julie is still being
Speaker 1: together in some former fashion. So I guess we'll just
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. You know, this is the
Speaker 1: report that was out tonight. It sounds credible. We've heard
Speaker 1: this before from other places it turned out out to
Speaker 1: be true, so always, you know, read these things with
Speaker 1: a grain of salt. But I don't see how anybody
Speaker 1: could be shocked by this if it turns out to
Speaker 1: be true, just like I wouldn't be shocked if we
Speaker 1: heard the same thing about Miro or Keith Lee who's
Speaker 1: had injury issues, and any number of people. You know,
Speaker 1: at some point you just look at it and go,
Speaker 1: maybe it's time to just part ways and go their
Speaker 1: separate ways. And that's how I feel about Malachi Black.
Speaker 1: Now we have Private Party, the aw World Tag Team Champions,
Speaker 1: who do not make very many appearances on this television show.
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't think they've wrestled a single time
Speaker 1: on Dynamite since they won the tag team titles from
Speaker 1: the Young Bucks. And that was the end of October.
Speaker 1: It is now almost mid January, if you could believe it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the eighth but before you know it,
Speaker 1: it's going to be mid January. But here they were
Speaker 1: tag team champions on Dynamite. They come out, they're celebrating
Speaker 1: their successful first title defense on Collision this past weekend,
Speaker 1: and they're on stage. They're out there now with a
Speaker 1: whole group of ladies. I don't know where they befriended
Speaker 1: these ladies. Perhaps they are locals. Maybe they were hitting
Speaker 1: up the local clubs and they said, hey, why don't
Speaker 1: you come with us, We'll put you on TV. But
Speaker 1: they had a group of girls with them, and they
Speaker 1: come out on stage and they have this whole setup
Speaker 1: like a club, and they have the red velvet rope
Speaker 1: and they have the security guard. So Isaiah Cassidy says,
Speaker 1: it's time to celebrate. They got shots, they got drinks, right,
Speaker 1: they're ready to celebrate. Outcomes the Hurt Syndicant and we
Speaker 1: have MVP Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. They come out
Speaker 1: on stage, they step over the velvet rope. MVP says
Speaker 1: he wants to raise a toast to private party. Bobby
Speaker 1: Lashley also he raises his shot glass and he says,
Speaker 1: here's to the Hurt Syndicate taking those tag team titles.
Speaker 1: And Isaiah Cassidy when he heard that, he didn't like
Speaker 1: that very much. So MVP lash Lee in Shelton, they
Speaker 1: all poured their shots out. What a waste of liquor,
Speaker 1: and they start to make their way down to the
Speaker 1: rink because Lashly has a match coming up, and so
Speaker 1: Private Party were just left on stage, just standing there,
Speaker 1: and that was the last that we saw of them.
Speaker 1: So a rare Private Party appearance here on the show,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't in a match. It's to set up
Speaker 1: clearly what is going to be a future match, and honestly,
Speaker 1: if this is going to be a future match for
Speaker 1: those tag team titles, it doesn't bode well for Private Party.
Speaker 1: But I'll talk about that. Let's talk about this match first.
Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley. He went one on one, first time ever
Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley against Mark Briscoe. This was not a squash.
Speaker 1: They gave brisco some hope spots here Lashe right away
Speaker 1: hit a spinning sit out dominator for an ear fall.
Speaker 1: Briscoe battled back. He had some redneck kung fu, jumped
Speaker 1: off the top rope into the clutches of Lashly and
Speaker 1: he got launched to the floor and then Lashley went
Speaker 1: out and steamrolled him with a pounce. After a break,
Speaker 1: brisco mounted a comeback. He got cut off though as
Speaker 1: Lashly hit a tackle, sent him hard off the himan.
Speaker 1: He took a hell of a bump back first off
Speaker 1: the apron. Lashley went out after him, but didn't realize
Speaker 1: that Briscoe had gone underneath the ring, and he popped
Speaker 1: Lashly with a chair unbeknownst to the referee, and then
Speaker 1: followed with a springboard dive. MDP is on commentary and
Speaker 1: he is flipping out. This is he cheated. This should
Speaker 1: be a disqualification. How is this allowed? So Briscoe hit
Speaker 1: a corkscrew moon salt from the top to the floor
Speaker 1: outside and then inside hit the froggy bow. Bobby Lashley
Speaker 1: kicks out. Lashly dodged a corner charge, hit the spear,
Speaker 1: hit a huge spinebuster, and then applied the hurt lock
Speaker 1: for the submission win. After the match, Shelton, Benjamin and
Speaker 1: Lashley they attacked Briscoe until private party. They sprinted out
Speaker 1: with chairs. They had a little bit of a face
Speaker 1: off and then the Hurt Syndicate retreated. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: they gave Briscow's some hope spots here, but I mean
Speaker 1: the outcome was never in doubt. The Hurt Syndicate noticeably
Speaker 1: still getting more cheers than Booze, even though they are
Speaker 1: being positioned very much as Heels on this show. The
Speaker 1: fans they just they don't hate these guys. They like
Speaker 1: cheering for them. This continues to be a consistent I
Speaker 1: don't even want to say problem, but it continues to
Speaker 1: be a consistent pattern no matter where they are, no
Speaker 1: matter what building or city they may be in. You
Speaker 1: just hear more cheers than Booze for the Hurt Syndicate.
Speaker 1: But are they going to take the tag team titles
Speaker 1: off of Private Party already? That was my question coming
Speaker 1: out of this, because if they're building to Shelton, Benjamin
Speaker 1: and Bobby Lashley as a tag team, and they get
Speaker 1: Private Party in a match, now, maybe they don't just
Speaker 1: make the match. Maybe they have some I mean, look,
Speaker 1: they love doing gauntlets. Tony Kahn loves his gauntlet matches.
Speaker 1: It would not shock me if two weeks from now
Speaker 1: we get another Gauntlet. We had a men's gauntlet tonight,
Speaker 1: a women's won next week. Would not shock me. If
Speaker 1: we got a tag team Gauntlet or some kind of
Speaker 1: match and then Lashe and Shelton they win, and then
Speaker 1: by virtue of that win, they get a title match.
Speaker 1: If they get a title match, they're winning the titles,
Speaker 1: and it sucks for Private Party because if that's how
Speaker 1: this goes, if they defend their titles once or twice
Speaker 1: successfully and then lose them to Lashlee in Benjamin. While
Speaker 1: that would be great for you know, Shelton Benjamin and
Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley, boy, would that be fucking terrible for Private Party.
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys just never had a chance. So
Speaker 1: I mean it's nice they're building up a program for them,
Speaker 1: but I don't think this is going to end well
Speaker 1: for them at all. And if they just turn around
Speaker 1: and take the belts off them, I mean, that's just
Speaker 1: it's just a failure of creative. It's a failure of
Speaker 1: the tag team division right now that after five years,
Speaker 1: you built at a little story for these guys that
Speaker 1: it took five years, but finally they win the tag
Speaker 1: team titles only to take the titles off of them
Speaker 1: three months later, now three or four months. It's not
Speaker 1: like it's not like it's a week But you gotta
Speaker 1: you know, context is important here. It's not like they've
Speaker 1: had a lot of successful title defenses. It's not like
Speaker 1: we get to see them on the main show every
Speaker 1: single week. Perception is everything, and the perception of these
Speaker 1: guys right now, who are your tag team champions, is
Speaker 1: that they don't belong in that position. People don't look
Speaker 1: at them the way they look at the Bucks or
Speaker 1: FTR or any of these other teams because you have
Speaker 1: not taken the time to build them up. You have
Speaker 1: not taken the time to build up their credibility to
Speaker 1: try to get people to look at them that way.
Speaker 1: They never had a chance putting the belts on them.
Speaker 1: It's not like the belts are going to make the man.
Speaker 1: I mean, that might be the idea here, but it's
Speaker 1: not working. So for their sake, I hope it doesn't
Speaker 1: just end like that. But I just don't see there
Speaker 1: being any other outcoming. If they go into that match,
Speaker 1: they do that match in a few weeks, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's it. It's game over for Private Party. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't see it going any other way for those two.
Speaker 1: Speaking of gauntlets, we had the Casino Gauntlet match up next,
Speaker 1: with the winner getting an aw World Championship match on
Speaker 1: the Maximum Carnage edition of Dynamite, which is next week
Speaker 1: so January fifteenth, and with his win last week in
Speaker 1: the Three Way match against Swerve, Strickland and Roderick Strong Switchblade.
Speaker 1: J White got to enter here at number one, which
Speaker 1: is important because in these gauntlet matches, the first fall
Speaker 1: wins it. It's not a situation where we got ten
Speaker 1: guys and the gauntlet doesn't officially start, you know, like
Speaker 1: a rumble or something until all ten men have been called,
Speaker 1: or like a war Games match. Right, it doesn't work
Speaker 1: that way. It doesn't work that way. First fall pinfaller's submission,
Speaker 1: and you win the gauntlet. So you want to be
Speaker 1: number one. The earlier you entered, the better your chances
Speaker 1: are going to be. So Jay White was out first,
Speaker 1: and then second was Hangman Adam Page. What a coincidence?
Speaker 1: How about that Hangman comes in after j White. So
Speaker 1: they traded chops and punches. Hangman hit a shoulder block,
Speaker 1: covered him for a one count only, and then he
Speaker 1: went for a fallaway slam. He got cradled for a
Speaker 1: two count, and then they traded some reversals on some
Speaker 1: big moves and White hit a superplex. Both men were down,
Speaker 1: and now we get the countdown. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the intervals were, they weren't very long, maybe two minutes.
Speaker 1: So we got the countdown for the next competitor, which
Speaker 1: was your favorite, Wheeler Dah. Wheeler DA has had more
Speaker 1: pay per view main event appearances than most of the
Speaker 1: names I mentioned before, like a Malachi Black and people
Speaker 1: who came over to this company who you would end
Speaker 1: up in the main events scene. Wheeler DA has had
Speaker 1: technically more appearances during AW pay per view main events
Speaker 1: than those guys. Sickening DA comes in. Now think about this.
Speaker 1: DA is part of the Death Rider. So if Wheeler
Speaker 1: Dah wins this gauntlet, he challenges John Moxley for the
Speaker 1: AW World Championship next week. I assume the idea here
Speaker 1: is that he would lay down for him. You know,
Speaker 1: he's in there to try to give the Death Riders
Speaker 1: a win so they could basically get out of this
Speaker 1: title match next week. The announcers didn't articulate that, but
Speaker 1: that's I assume that's the idea with him being in
Speaker 1: this match. So he's the man who cost j White
Speaker 1: the AW World title at World's End. As soon as
Speaker 1: he gets into the ring, Jay White drops him with
Speaker 1: a blade runner had him pinned. Hangman, though, comes over
Speaker 1: and breaks up the fall. Hangman lands a fallaway slam
Speaker 1: followed by Larryot in the corner. White fires back with
Speaker 1: a big chop and then he delivers springboard lariots to Yuda.
Speaker 1: The countdown begins. We get our next competitor into the match.
Speaker 1: We hear Swerve Strickland's theme song Who's House, and then
Speaker 1: it transitions into Ricochet's theme music, So we had a
Speaker 1: little fake out there. Ricochet was out next. And last
Speaker 1: week was the best thing they've done yet with Ricochet
Speaker 1: because after all the mocking and people making fun of him,
Speaker 1: especially Swerve, he got his revenge and he left Swerve
Speaker 1: Strickland a bloody mess. He looked like a psychopath out there.
Speaker 1: He's cackling at himself. Blood not even his blood, but
Speaker 1: blood all over his face, his white shirt, you know,
Speaker 1: dress shirt. So it's a great angle. Last week exactly
Speaker 1: what they needed to do with him coming out, coming
Speaker 1: out of worlds End when he lost in the Continental
Speaker 1: Classic too Okata and then was of course draped in
Speaker 1: toilet paper. Now he was also on the Wrestled Dynasty
Speaker 1: card this weekend. He was in the main event. He
Speaker 1: headlined the Tokyo Dome against Zach Saber Junior. He was
Speaker 1: unsuccessful that show. Also only had sixteen thousand people in
Speaker 1: the Tokyo Dome, so of course people now are joking. Well,
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you put Ricochet in the main
Speaker 1: event of the Tokyo Dome. Of course, Kenny Omega was
Speaker 1: on that show too, so you gotta be fair. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so Ricochet comes out and he's out there doing Ricochet things.
Speaker 1: Not a lot happened. Adam Cole is out next, and
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that he did here was hit a
Speaker 1: Panama Sunrise to Rikochet. Before we got an ext entrant,
Speaker 1: the TNT champion, Daniel Garcia, who was out to what
Speaker 1: I wrote here, I just wrote two words, negative pop.
Speaker 1: Like you know what a pop is? What is the antithesis?
Speaker 1: What is the opposite of a pop? It's a negative pop.
Speaker 1: It's no reaction. That's what Daniel Garcia, the TNT champion
Speaker 1: got when he came out. Powerhouse Hobbs was out next.
Speaker 1: He did not get a negative pop. He launched Ricochet
Speaker 1: of the outside and he's rag dolling anybody in his path.
Speaker 1: He's rag dolling guys. Hangman mocked him and so Hobbs
Speaker 1: threw him just clear across the ring. And so before
Speaker 1: they go into a commercial break, Hobbs is in firm
Speaker 1: control of this match. Into the gauntlet. Next we had
Speaker 1: Roderick Strong and he dishes out some backbreakers to almost everybody.
Speaker 1: Ricochet finds himself surrounded and beaten down by Cole Strong
Speaker 1: and Daniel Garcia. Everybody starts hitting big moves. Jay White
Speaker 1: wanted a blade Runner, but again as with World's End,
Speaker 1: Wheeler Uda steals a win away from him with a
Speaker 1: low blow. Number nine the murder Hog Monster Lance Archer,
Speaker 1: who never wins anything, but he's a big, scary, lie
Speaker 1: looking guy. So he comes out and Wheeler you'da does
Speaker 1: a dive out to the floor, but Archer is there
Speaker 1: waiting for him. And Archer, of course I mean outweighs
Speaker 1: him by probably one hundred fucking pounds. So here comes
Speaker 1: you to out of the ring. He grabs him by
Speaker 1: the throat on the way down choke slams him hard
Speaker 1: onto the ring. Apron Archer kept up the choke slams
Speaker 1: inside the ring and then took turns chucking Ricochet back
Speaker 1: and forth with Powerhouse Hobs. We got chance of meat
Speaker 1: from the crowd and the two big men they went
Speaker 1: back and forth. They were selling power slams and boss
Speaker 1: man slams. Kyle O'Reilly entered at number ten again to
Speaker 1: a negative pop. Nobody Cared O'Reilly comes out, he beats
Speaker 1: the hell out of Udah on stage. As soon as
Speaker 1: he came out of the tunnel, Wheeler was there, so
Speaker 1: he's battering him with kicks, and the Undisputed Kingdom which
Speaker 1: now had three members in this match, we're using their
Speaker 1: strengthen numbers until Jeff Jarrett, the last outlaw who on
Speaker 1: this television show last week told us that he had
Speaker 1: resigned what will be his final talent contract with AW,
Speaker 1: final talent contract of his career, and he wants to
Speaker 1: be the AW World Heavyweight Champion. If he wins this gauntlet,
Speaker 1: he will get his title match against John Moxley next week.
Speaker 1: But you had to know that wasn't going to happen
Speaker 1: because they're doing the long story with Jeff Jarett. This
Speaker 1: is their John Cena now, so they weren't going to
Speaker 1: blow this off in two weeks. But he comes out
Speaker 1: at number eleven and he was immediately before he could
Speaker 1: even get into the ring and get his jacket off,
Speaker 1: he is immediately attacked by Wheeler Yudah in the aisle,
Speaker 1: and you wonder if that's under orders from John Moxley.
Speaker 1: So they fought off through the curtain to the back.
Speaker 1: They cut back to the ring the match continues, so
Speaker 1: Jarrett never actually got into the match, but that left
Speaker 1: Archer and Garcia to fend off the undispeted Kingdom until
Speaker 1: Hobbs just ran through them all. Archer wanted a blackout
Speaker 1: on Hobbs. He wiggled free, sent Archer to the outside.
Speaker 1: Kyle fired off kicks. He ran into a big time spinebuster, though,
Speaker 1: and that allowed Powerhouse Hobbs to pick up the win,
Speaker 1: the surprise win. We didn't even know who else was
Speaker 1: going to be in the fucking match anyway. All we
Speaker 1: knew was that Jay White was number one and Jeff
Speaker 1: Jarrett was going to be in it. That's all we knew.
Speaker 1: So I didn't even know if Hobbs was going to
Speaker 1: necessarily be in the match, And even when I saw
Speaker 1: that he was, I didn't think he was going to win,
Speaker 1: but he did, and that was refreshing. Now. Renee climbed
Speaker 1: into the ring to immediately when the match was over,
Speaker 1: she climbs into the ring to interview Hobbs, and she
Speaker 1: asks him what it means to get a shot at
Speaker 1: the title next week, and Hobbs said that Moxley is
Speaker 1: the man who brought him into aw He just wants
Speaker 1: to shoot straight. John Moxley is the one responsible for
Speaker 1: him being in this company. But next week he plans
Speaker 1: on shocking the world. But not only that, he's gonna
Speaker 1: make John Moxley his bitch. And you should have seen
Speaker 1: the look on Rene's face. She was so thoroughly offended
Speaker 1: and disgusted by this as she walked away. The gauntlet
Speaker 1: itself I thought was fine. I didn't have as much
Speaker 1: fun with this one as I have some of the
Speaker 1: past ones they've done, but it's a great concept, just
Speaker 1: the way they do it, the format generally, it's a
Speaker 1: fun match. I just like I said, I didn't think
Speaker 1: this was as good as some of the other ones
Speaker 1: they've done. They gave them a lot of time though.
Speaker 1: They gave this twenty five minutes and we had eleven
Speaker 1: people called out, which is a pretty decent number. But
Speaker 1: for Hobbs, I say, good for him. To me, I
Speaker 1: was happy to see him, or you know, someone like him,
Speaker 1: someone who I feel should be doing a lot more
Speaker 1: on this show, and isn't being the one to get
Speaker 1: the nod here? So I like that. And now he's
Speaker 1: headed for a rematch with John Moxley because the last
Speaker 1: time they set foot in the ring together was in
Speaker 1: April of last year. They had an IWGP World title
Speaker 1: match on Dynamite. This was right after Moxley beat Nito
Speaker 1: in Chicago to win the IWGP title and he defended
Speaker 1: the title against it might have been a Daily's place
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, but he defended the
Speaker 1: title against Hobbes. And in that match, Hobbs came charging
Speaker 1: into the corner and just the way his knee, I
Speaker 1: guess hit the bottom turnbuckle, I think it was he
Speaker 1: hurt his knee and it was clear as day that
Speaker 1: he was he was in pain, like something was wrong,
Speaker 1: and the match ended shortly thereafter, and then he was
Speaker 1: gone and he missed a very long time before he
Speaker 1: came back in November. So what we need and they
Speaker 1: did mention this on commentary, but so what like, you
Speaker 1: got a week now to promote this match, that's all
Speaker 1: you got. And what we need is a promo from
Speaker 1: Hobbes on Collision this weekend. Because that's all we have
Speaker 1: time for. We need a promo from him on Collision
Speaker 1: that brings up the fact that John Moxley, you may
Speaker 1: have brought me into this company, and I have all
Speaker 1: the respect in the world for what you've done in
Speaker 1: the past. What you've done lately, though, I have no
Speaker 1: respect for. But the last time you and I shared
Speaker 1: a ring, I got hurt. You hurt me. You cost
Speaker 1: me seven months of my career last year. So now
Speaker 1: I'm coming for your championship. I'm costing you your title.
Speaker 1: That would be the gist of it. But I think
Speaker 1: we need something like that because that's the story. You
Speaker 1: have a personal hook there, right, They had a match,
Speaker 1: he got hurt, and look at all the time he missed,
Speaker 1: and that's really all the time you have for as
Speaker 1: far as any kind of story. But I hope they
Speaker 1: take the chance on Collision this weekend to tell that story.
Speaker 1: We all know he's going in there to lose. Nobody expects.
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say. Nobody honestly, deep down
Speaker 1: in your heart, believes for a second that Powerhouse Hobbs
Speaker 1: is going to win that championship next week. Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't wear a hat here on this show. If I
Speaker 1: wore a hat, I would eat it. Okay, I would
Speaker 1: eat my hat. If he wins the title on Dynamite
Speaker 1: next week, it's not happening. So unfortunately, we already have
Speaker 1: the predictable outcome here. I mean, look, this is a
Speaker 1: guy who couldn't beat the international champion at the last
Speaker 1: pay per view, So what makes you think he's going
Speaker 1: to go in there and beat the aw world champion here?
Speaker 1: You know, a couple months later. All he has to do, though,
Speaker 1: is go out there have a good showing. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the what kind of match these two are
Speaker 1: going to have, you know, with mox Leeds hit or
Speaker 1: miss A lot of it depends on who he's in
Speaker 1: the ring. With his death Rider stuff has been absolute,
Speaker 1: just fucking garbage. I still think it sucks. It's boring,
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm waiting for something to happen. Whatever
Speaker 1: that is cope and mocks. I guess that's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna be getting soon. But something's got to give, something's
Speaker 1: got to change here. So whatever kind of match they're
Speaker 1: gonna have, Hobbs needs to go in there and have
Speaker 1: a good showing. And what they need to do. If
Speaker 1: they're smart, is they will spin another story off of
Speaker 1: this for him so that it isn't just a case
Speaker 1: where he goes in there. Okay, yeah, he wrestled the champion,
Speaker 1: but he lost and that's it. That's it. We don't
Speaker 1: see Hobbs on the show again. He's back to collision
Speaker 1: duty and we'll see him wrestling you know, fucking John
Speaker 1: Skuyler or something. You know, like, there has to be
Speaker 1: and I don't know who it would be with, take
Speaker 1: your pick. I mean, there's any number of people on
Speaker 1: the roster he could work with, but there's got to
Speaker 1: be some kind of a story for him coming out
Speaker 1: of this to at least keep him in the mix.
Speaker 1: Him going in there and having a title match with
Speaker 1: John Moxley, losing and then vanishing again does nothing for him, nothing.
Speaker 1: It would be death. So I hope they give him
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do something that will try to elevate
Speaker 1: him at least to that next level from where he
Speaker 1: is right now. It's the best I can hope for
Speaker 1: because he's not winning the championship, but at least give
Speaker 1: him something to do going forward. Yeah, there were people
Speaker 1: who when the hurt syndicate formed said that Hobbs would
Speaker 1: be a great addition to the Hurt Syndicate. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it would work. He would play second fiddle to
Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley automatically, but out of that you could potentially
Speaker 1: build to an eventual Lashly in Hobbs match, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could do that. But I don't even necessarily think
Speaker 1: he needs to be part of a faction, right, He's
Speaker 1: an ass kicker. Just keep pushing him like that. But
Speaker 1: he's got to have people to work with. I don't
Speaker 1: just mean squash matches. He's got to have like stories
Speaker 1: and programs that he can be involved in. That's my
Speaker 1: only hope for him coming out of the match next week.
Speaker 1: But I was pleasantly surprised to see him pick up
Speaker 1: the win here now. As Hobbs was leaving, Jeff Jarrett
Speaker 1: walked back out and it was too late. The match
Speaker 1: is over. Sorry, Double j. You get no title match
Speaker 1: next week. Hobbs put his hand out though the two
Speaker 1: of them shook hands, but Jarrett kept walking to the ring.
Speaker 1: The camera followed him as he entered the ring, and
Speaker 1: then after a quick video that they aired hyping next
Speaker 1: week's match between Hook and Christian Cage. They came back
Speaker 1: and Jarrett was in the ring with ian Ric Abonni
Speaker 1: and I didn't mention this before ian Rick Abonni. F
Speaker 1: I did a great job tonight. Ian Rickabonni is the
Speaker 1: one who I think should be in that lead announcer
Speaker 1: position on this show. Now I know ex Caliber is
Speaker 1: their guy. He's been there since day one. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if ian wants the spot. I know he
Speaker 1: didn't want the spot on Collision because he's got a
Speaker 1: shoot job and he wants the weekend to be with
Speaker 1: his family, So maybe he doesn't even want it. But
Speaker 1: he's great and I just I enjoy his commentary more
Speaker 1: than ex Caliber. Ex Caliber can be very, very grating
Speaker 1: on my nerves. Ian Rickabonni does a tremendous job. I
Speaker 1: wish he was in that spot on this show, but
Speaker 1: at least we got him for one week. So Rick
Speaker 1: Abonni is in the ring and he says they were
Speaker 1: all hoping for the storybook ending tonight in Tennessee, a
Speaker 1: state where Jarrett's family put professional wrestling on the map,
Speaker 1: and Jarrett said, it's twenty twenty five and the last
Speaker 1: outlaw has to ask one question, does he still have
Speaker 1: what it takes to climb that mount? And before he
Speaker 1: could continue or answer his own question, he was interrupted
Speaker 1: by mjf's music, and MJF got in the ring and
Speaker 1: he called Ian a Bible thumping prick and told him
Speaker 1: to get out of his ring, so off he went.
Speaker 1: Then he introduced himself. He said, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: think that you and I have been properly introduced. And
Speaker 1: he said that he is the greatest aw world champion
Speaker 1: of all time, and he says that he wants his
Speaker 1: triple B back. But the world title scene right now
Speaker 1: seems to be a lot of hard work, said Powerhouse.
Speaker 1: Hobbs is the number one contender because of Jarrett's failure.
Speaker 1: Tonight couldn't get the job done because he got beaten
Speaker 1: up by he goes checks notes Wheeler udah, and you
Speaker 1: could hear people in the crowd laugh because it is obscene, okay,
Speaker 1: that anybody would be viciously attacked by Wheeler Uda. So
Speaker 1: he mocked him for that. Then you've got Adam Copeland,
Speaker 1: he said, in Christian Cage and Hangman page, and none
Speaker 1: of these men are worthy of holding his triple B.
Speaker 1: But he can think of one man who just might
Speaker 1: be a man that has beaten some of the biggest
Speaker 1: icons in this sport. Twelve time world champion, a two
Speaker 1: time Hall of Famer Double J Jeff Jarrett JE Double
Speaker 1: f JA, Double Ri, DOUBLET good old Double J. Not
Speaker 1: that he knew any of that personally. He said he
Speaker 1: had to google it because he's not a dinosaur. But kudos,
Speaker 1: he said his dad, Mjf's dad told him that he
Speaker 1: was a big fan of Jarrett's when he was a
Speaker 1: little kid, and he knows that Jarrett said that he
Speaker 1: wants to be a world champion. But with him signing
Speaker 1: that last contract, he said, the clock is ticking. He
Speaker 1: then revealed that the contract he heard that the contract
Speaker 1: that Jarrett signed is only for one year, and it's
Speaker 1: not a case where he wanted to sign a one
Speaker 1: year deal, but rather that's all that Pro Wrestling thinks
Speaker 1: he's got left to give. But hey, he's just telling
Speaker 1: the truth. He's not here to piss off Double Jam.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to piss you off Double J. He's
Speaker 1: here to help him the way he sees it, He's
Speaker 1: only got one year to prove that. He's still one
Speaker 1: year to make sure that he proves himself and makes
Speaker 1: it back to the top of the mountain, and he
Speaker 1: can help him do that. All he asks is one
Speaker 1: tiny little favor when he helps him procure his triple B.
Speaker 1: He's first in line for a title shot, and he says,
Speaker 1: so you want to make a deal. Now, we just
Speaker 1: heard from MJF last week on the show when he
Speaker 1: said that he's finally done with Adam Cole, thank god,
Speaker 1: and he wants his triple be back and he's going
Speaker 1: to go after the world championship. So I guess so
Speaker 1: this is the way I guess that he plans on
Speaker 1: getting Now. Why though, why would he need Jeff Jarrett
Speaker 1: to get back his world title. I assume it's just
Speaker 1: a case of him saying, well, I don't need him,
Speaker 1: but if he's going to challenge for the title, I
Speaker 1: may as well double my chances of becoming champion and
Speaker 1: buddy up to this guy. And so if he happens
Speaker 1: to beat me to the punch, I can get him
Speaker 1: to guarantee me being the first person in line for
Speaker 1: a title shot, then I guess that would make sense
Speaker 1: if that's the idea here. Jared said that MJF was
Speaker 1: the aw World heavyweight Champion, the longest ragning one of
Speaker 1: all time. But he's still too young to understand that.
Speaker 1: You learn a lot more from your failures than you
Speaker 1: do from your successes. But that doesn't mean that he'll
Speaker 1: get there again, he said. Around here they call kids
Speaker 1: like MJF one hit wonders. He said, he knows the
Speaker 1: road he's got to go down. He's been at rock bottom. Life,
Speaker 1: not just the wrestling business. Life, he said, has put
Speaker 1: him at rock bottom. But that gives him the chance
Speaker 1: to scratch and claw his way back to the top
Speaker 1: of the mountain. Tonight MJF had the chance to enter
Speaker 1: the Casino Gauntlet, but instead he chose to come out
Speaker 1: here to scheme and connive. He's been on top twelve
Speaker 1: times and he's looking for number thirteen in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: and like that old expression goes, what a difference a
Speaker 1: year can make? He said, he's sure gonna make the
Speaker 1: most that of twenty twenty five. So it comes down
Speaker 1: to this. He doesn't need MJF and he's not buying
Speaker 1: what he's selling. And then he called him an entitled prick,
Speaker 1: and Jarrett left the ring. I can't believe that we
Speaker 1: have John Cena and Jeff Jarrett more or less doing
Speaker 1: the same story here in twenty twenty five. We just
Speaker 1: had John Cena on TV on Monday Night talking about how, guys,
Speaker 1: I don't think I could win number seventeen. Right, I'd
Speaker 1: love to, but I don't think it's gonna happen, unless,
Speaker 1: of course I can go in the Royal Rumble and
Speaker 1: win the Royal Rumble. Right, So now he's gonna go
Speaker 1: in the Royal Rumble. They're already. They just kicked off
Speaker 1: on Monday Night the story of him going after number seventeen,
Speaker 1: and then forty eight hours later we have this promo
Speaker 1: from Jeff Jarrett. I mean, granted he cut the promo,
Speaker 1: the first promo last week, but he's doing the same thing. Right.
Speaker 1: He's got one year left, that's it, one year, just
Speaker 1: like Sina, this is it. He doesn't now or never.
Speaker 1: He wants to hold gold. He's had twelve times world champion.
Speaker 1: He needs number thirteen. It's the same story now with
Speaker 1: John Cena. Johnsen is a much bigger star obviously, and
Speaker 1: he's got well, Jared's got ten years on him, I
Speaker 1: think exactly ten years. But basically we're getting the same
Speaker 1: story in two different companies. So as this year progresses,
Speaker 1: it'll be very interesting because you can't help but compare
Speaker 1: the two and the Jarrett one. I think this is
Speaker 1: going to carry on for many months. Scene is gonna
Speaker 1: go all year. I don't know if the jarreted is going.
Speaker 1: They're gonna milk that until December. But we'll be able
Speaker 1: to follow these two stories now and see the differences
Speaker 1: in how these two promotions and then have Triple H
Speaker 1: on one side and Tony Kah on the other. You know,
Speaker 1: take these these legends and push them and craft this
Speaker 1: story around them trying to be world champion. Which one
Speaker 1: becomes world champion first between the two of them, it'd
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see how the two stories end
Speaker 1: up being different. Look, I wouldn't be surprised, number one.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if this is something that MJF
Speaker 1: asked for, because I'm already seeing comments about I can't
Speaker 1: believe they have MJF doing this. Okay, I agree, I can't.
Speaker 1: I that this is the best thing that MJF could
Speaker 1: be involved with right now is ridiculous. Now it's one week.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long they're going to drag this
Speaker 1: out for clearly we're getting an MJF and Jeff Jarrett match,
Speaker 1: and I'm not even saying it's necessarily going to be
Speaker 1: a bad match. But I was so tired of MJF
Speaker 1: and Adam Cole that I think, while I think it's
Speaker 1: ridiculous that they have now transitioned from that to this,
Speaker 1: I think because I was so ready for that to
Speaker 1: be over with that this doesn't bother me as much
Speaker 1: because at least we are finally getting something different with MJF.
Speaker 1: This is not what I asked for, This is not
Speaker 1: what I was hoping for and expecting. But at least
Speaker 1: it's not Adam Cole, because I don't know that I
Speaker 1: could have taken another month or two of that story,
Speaker 1: like there's just no way. So at least it's something different.
Speaker 1: I didn't say it's great, but it's something different, okay.
Speaker 1: But also, Jeff Jarrett, I will say this, there is
Speaker 1: a story to be told here. If Tony Kahan wants
Speaker 1: to tell this story, which clearly he does, and I
Speaker 1: could see people getting behind it. Jareded is very savvy.
Speaker 1: He's been doing this for a million years and now
Speaker 1: he's in that elder statesman position where he knows how
Speaker 1: to go out there and get sympathy from the crowd
Speaker 1: and get the crowd to cheer for Like the days
Speaker 1: of him being a heel and you know, doing the
Speaker 1: slat nuts stuff and all that. That's in the past, right,
Speaker 1: this is now babyface veteran Jeff Jarrett, Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: Jeff Jarrett. And he's smart enough to know, he's been
Speaker 1: in this business for so long how to get the
Speaker 1: people to rally behind him. MJF is really good at
Speaker 1: getting heat. He knows how to piss people off, he
Speaker 1: knows how to get people to hate him, and one
Speaker 1: way to do that is to heal on the legend
Speaker 1: that people want to cheer for. So I think it's
Speaker 1: a dynamic that could work here. And because of that,
Speaker 1: I think when they do the eventual match, it may
Speaker 1: actually turn out to not be a bad match. Right,
Speaker 1: But again, that's not the issue. Whatever this is, whatever
Speaker 1: this is gonna be, I hope they transition away from
Speaker 1: it quickly because the fact that MJF, since he's come back,
Speaker 1: has been trapped in a dead feud with Adam Cole
Speaker 1: and now he's in a program seemingly with fucking Jeff Jarrett,
Speaker 1: and to think that MJF was like the crown jewel
Speaker 1: that Tony Kahan the Bidding War of twenty twenty four. Right,
Speaker 1: everybody's going to be going after MJF and all the
Speaker 1: buzz around him right as we headed into last year,
Speaker 1: and where did it all go. It's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like that never even happened. So then he was
Speaker 1: filming a movie role. He wasn't on television every week,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't feel like one of the top stars
Speaker 1: in the company. Talk about Kenny Omega, we talk about
Speaker 1: will Ospray, John Moxley. There he is. Five years later,
Speaker 1: he's still at the top of the heat, world champion
Speaker 1: fucking four times. This guy MJF. It's like he just
Speaker 1: feels like another guy in the card and that has
Speaker 1: to change quickly. He's got to be doing more than
Speaker 1: just this. I was encouraged last week when he finally said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think I want to get my
Speaker 1: world title back. Good. I'm surprised it took six months
Speaker 1: for him to remember that. But this is not what
Speaker 1: I had in mind here. But I'll keep an open
Speaker 1: mind as far as the actual match because I think
Speaker 1: the dynamic between the two of them could work. But
Speaker 1: I just I can't bring myself to get excited about
Speaker 1: this Jeff Jared story. I just can't. You want to
Speaker 1: tell that as a little side story, that's one thing,
Speaker 1: but like now he's in there with MJF and how
Speaker 1: long is this going to go on for. It's just
Speaker 1: you can't fake enthusiasm for something if you're not into it.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that it can't work. And like
Speaker 1: I said, I'm just happy that we are done with
Speaker 1: MJF and the Undisputed Kingdom. That at least is a
Speaker 1: plus take. I'll take my victories here where I can
Speaker 1: get them. It was time to cope. Are you guys
Speaker 1: ready to cope? Adam Copeland was out to the ring
Speaker 1: next by himself for promo and he gets in the
Speaker 1: ring and he says that while he was gone, you know,
Speaker 1: with his injury, Moxley and the Death Riders, they took
Speaker 1: out Brian Danielson possibly for good. They took out Darby Allen. Recently,
Speaker 1: they also tried to take out FTR and it just
Speaker 1: so what happens that FTR are really good close personal
Speaker 1: friends of his. He says, that was a massive mistake.
Speaker 1: Moxley has said the guys like Orange Cassidy and Hangman
Speaker 1: and Switchblade and Darby, they don't have what it takes
Speaker 1: for the grind to be the champion. And he disagrees
Speaker 1: with that, and that no one has fought through what
Speaker 1: he has fought through just to be standing here in
Speaker 1: this ring. And he will die on that hill. He said,
Speaker 1: well he may. He may die in the ring if
Speaker 1: he has another one of those dives off the top
Speaker 1: of a cage. Hopefully we never see that again. But
Speaker 1: he said, he's a different animal entirely from anybody else.
Speaker 1: He goes, you're looking at a man who broke his
Speaker 1: neck in a match with Eddie Guerrero, and what did
Speaker 1: he do? He got up and he wrestled another twenty
Speaker 1: minutes and he won that match. He's a man who
Speaker 1: wrestled Malachi Black in a barbed wire steel cage match,
Speaker 1: and what did he do? He said, he wrestled for
Speaker 1: another ten minutes and then he won that match. So
Speaker 1: please Moxley, as much as he knows how tough Moxley is,
Speaker 1: please enlighten me. What can you do to me that
Speaker 1: hasn't been done before? Death Riders music hit. They took
Speaker 1: their sweet ass time coming through the crowd. Moxley, Uda, Claudio,
Speaker 1: no Marina Shaffir, still no Pack. But they took so
Speaker 1: long that before they could even hop over the barricade
Speaker 1: to ringside, they get ambushed from behind by FTR. So
Speaker 1: the Babyfaces for a change set a trap. Copeland joined
Speaker 1: in on the attack and got Moxley in the ring.
Speaker 1: But then Marina Shaffir did show up to distract Copeland,
Speaker 1: and then Pack showed up. We haven't seen Pack in weeks.
Speaker 1: Pack showed up. He attacked from behind. Now Copeland was
Speaker 1: all alone in the ring as Moxley slowly choked him
Speaker 1: out with the bulldog choke, and out he went. Moxley
Speaker 1: asks Marina Shaffir for the plastic bag. So we're about
Speaker 1: we're about to get yet another smothering here on aw television.
Speaker 1: But back out comes Powerhouse Hobbs and he takes his time.
Speaker 1: He just looks like a total badass coming down to
Speaker 1: the ring, so much so that the Death Riders retreat.
Speaker 1: And this is what I mean, like you want perceptionist reality,
Speaker 1: and you want to in the one week that you
Speaker 1: have build up Hobbs to the best of your ability
Speaker 1: as someone who is just this intimidating monster who even
Speaker 1: the Death Riders really don't want to have any part of.
Speaker 1: They backed off here. They wanted no part of this man,
Speaker 1: and that's how the segment ended. They didn't give any
Speaker 1: kind of clarity on you know, when they might be
Speaker 1: doing Moxley and Copeland. I have to imagine that's going
Speaker 1: to be the title match on the fifteenth next month
Speaker 1: in Australia. I would think Moxley is defending his title
Speaker 1: on that show, and if he is, it's going to
Speaker 1: be against Copeland. Mariah May was backstage pre Ta promo here.
Speaker 1: She was talking about the women's casino gaulet match next
Speaker 1: week and she tells all the women competing to dance
Speaker 1: like the marionettes they are before she cuts their strings
Speaker 1: and burns them alive. Might not be the best uh
Speaker 1: thing to be, saying Harley Cameron. She screams her way
Speaker 1: into the shot and said that she wants to give
Speaker 1: the fans an appetizer. On collision, Mariah said, look, you're
Speaker 1: not getting a title shot, and Harley said that's fine.
Speaker 1: It could be non title and she said, just some
Speaker 1: hot girl graps. I like the sound of that. I'm
Speaker 1: okay with that. Don't you want some hot girl graps?
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. So they're going to have that.
Speaker 1: They made that official for Collision this weekend. Mariah is great.
Speaker 1: I think Harley Cameron is great. I've talked about her
Speaker 1: a little bit recently. She's just got this great personality
Speaker 1: for television. Like in the ring. Even in the she's
Speaker 1: perfectly fine and she could work, but she just has
Speaker 1: this charisma to her that not a lot of people have,
Speaker 1: and I think that it will carry her very far,
Speaker 1: whether it's in this company or another company. But they
Speaker 1: should definitely be doing more with her. We don't get
Speaker 1: to see her on Dynamite very often, so it was
Speaker 1: nice to see her pop up on this show for
Speaker 1: a change. We had a three way match with Tony Storm,
Speaker 1: Chris Statlander, and Willow Nightingale. This is fresh off the
Speaker 1: four way that Willow was in at the Tokyo Dome
Speaker 1: at wrestled Dynasty that she did not win. This was
Speaker 1: for the right to enter next week's Women's Casino Gauntlet
Speaker 1: Match in the number one spot. They did not get
Speaker 1: nearly as much time as the Gauntlet match did, but
Speaker 1: they made the most of the time that they did have.
Speaker 1: This was good. Storm kept getting tossed out to the floor,
Speaker 1: and she finally put a stop to it with a
Speaker 1: crossbody off the top onto both women. Storm tried to
Speaker 1: sunset flip at one point on Chris Statlander. She didn't budge,
Speaker 1: and Statlander just stood there and she starts flexing right.
Speaker 1: She's standing there completely oblivious to the fact that Willow
Speaker 1: comes up from behind and she delivers a slingshot that
Speaker 1: Tony is still underneath Statlander's legs. Willow gives her a slingshot,
Speaker 1: and so what we got here? That sent Tony Storm
Speaker 1: face first up into Statlander's crotch for the low blow.
Speaker 1: It's the wildest low blow I've ever seen. Chris Statlander
Speaker 1: got a face full of Tony Storm down in her
Speaker 1: nether regions. Queue up the doves ziggler meme. You know
Speaker 1: you're thinking it, you may as well. You may as
Speaker 1: well que it up. Queue up the dollve ziggler meme. Hey, OMG,
Speaker 1: I love you too, says I love you solo, I
Speaker 1: love you too. Where are we at on the likes
Speaker 1: by the way, for be the booker, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's not looking good. So Tony tried for the crossbody again,
Speaker 1: but this time she got caught Willow and Chris. They
Speaker 1: did a double fallaway slam. Statlander tried to offer a
Speaker 1: handshake to Willow, but Storm cut them both off, and
Speaker 1: then a three way slugfest ensued. Tony delivered a head butt,
Speaker 1: Willow hit the discus lariot, and we got a triple down.
Speaker 1: All three ladies down on the mat. Statlander back dropped
Speaker 1: out of Storm zero. She hit a shotgun dropkick, but
Speaker 1: as she charged in, Willow met her with a pounce
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Tony hit the Sweet Cheek music the Statlander.
Speaker 1: Willow hit a cannon ball on both before laying out
Speaker 1: Storm with a DVD for two. Tony avoided the chaos
Speaker 1: theory Nightingalevo was there to hit a double German souplex.
Speaker 1: Statlander countered the doctor bomb with a jawbreaker. Willow Willow
Speaker 1: love Willow. Willow hits a German on Chris, who hits
Speaker 1: a German on Tony. At the same time, Storm with
Speaker 1: a roll up on Willow. Chris, though breaks it up.
Speaker 1: Willow got sent out to the floor and Statlander drops
Speaker 1: Tony Storm with Saturday Night Fever and gets the win.
Speaker 1: After the match, Renee was backstage with Tony Storm, a
Speaker 1: dejected Tony Storm who said that she gave it her all,
Speaker 1: but clearly she is not ready yet. She says that
Speaker 1: it was an honor to be in there with Statlander
Speaker 1: and Willow, but she is going to keep working hard
Speaker 1: because right now it is not Tony time. She said
Speaker 1: that she was talking here like she possibly is not
Speaker 1: going to be in the Gauntlet match next week. I
Speaker 1: cannot imagine that she not only that she's not in
Speaker 1: the match, but that she doesn't win the match, because
Speaker 1: the winner of the Gauntlet next week is gonna get
Speaker 1: Mariah May and a shot at the women's world title
Speaker 1: in Australia at Grand Slam. How could that not be
Speaker 1: the match? Of course, it's going to be the match.
Speaker 1: Gotta be Mariah May and Tony Storm. So she will
Speaker 1: be in the Gauntlet next week and I'm sure she's
Speaker 1: gonna win. Look, Jay White won a triple threat match
Speaker 1: last week for the number one spot in the Gauntlet
Speaker 1: match tonight and he failed. So even though Chris Statlander
Speaker 1: won the number one spot, that doesn't mean she's winning
Speaker 1: next week, Tony Storm is gonna win. She's gonna go
Speaker 1: to Grand Slam. And it's one of two things. I mean,
Speaker 1: either she's gonna come out of this amnesia that she's
Speaker 1: had or I tend to think that we come to
Speaker 1: find out this was all put on again. This is
Speaker 1: this is the best performance in the career of timeless
Speaker 1: Tony Storm, and she'll probably win back the Women's World title. See.
Speaker 1: I was kind of hoping they would build here in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five to a title match with Mariah May
Speaker 1: and Jamie Hayter. You know, maybe by like double or
Speaker 1: nothing time, because they've done nothing with Jamie Hayter. Now
Speaker 1: they have her feeting with Hart. That's like the biggest
Speaker 1: thing they've done with her. She's been back since August.
Speaker 1: They have done fucking nothing with Jamie Hayter. So now
Speaker 1: you got to you have to take your time and
Speaker 1: really kind of get her back into the mix before
Speaker 1: you could do anything with her. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of talk about who's gonna take the TBS title away
Speaker 1: from Mercedes. A lot of people have floated Athena's name.
Speaker 1: You can do that match maybe in Texas at all
Speaker 1: in but of course you would have to believe that
Speaker 1: Athena is gonna end up on the women's roster in
Speaker 1: aw which you're not fucking fooling me with that. I'll
Speaker 1: believe it when I see it. I tend to look
Speaker 1: at that and go Jamie Hater could be a good
Speaker 1: option for the TBS title, if not the Women's world title.
Speaker 1: You could do Jamie Hayter unseating Mercedes, but you have
Speaker 1: to build to it, so they need to start doing that.
Speaker 1: The fact that Jamie Hater, she's another example, and she's
Speaker 1: not like an EXWWE talent, she's like an aw original.
Speaker 1: But she's another one where she got hurt. She was
Speaker 1: gone for a very long time, and so she he's
Speaker 1: now been back for months and they've done nothing to
Speaker 1: try to heat her back up, to try to get
Speaker 1: her back to a position that she was in before.
Speaker 1: She was so over before and now she's so cold,
Speaker 1: and I just don't know. We're in January now and
Speaker 1: they're not doing anything to build her up for the future.
Speaker 1: So Tony Storm may well go in there and beat
Speaker 1: Mariah May next month. Even Tony Storm, like Tony Storm
Speaker 1: is the one who beat Jamie Hater to win the
Speaker 1: title in the first place. You could build to Tony
Speaker 1: Storm and Jamie Hayter. But my point is they're not
Speaker 1: doing anything to build Jamie Hayter. That should be one
Speaker 1: of Tony Kahan's priorities, not his number one priority, but
Speaker 1: that you made a list of like top ten creative
Speaker 1: priorities here like that that's up there on the list. Okay,
Speaker 1: she was that popular at one point that he needs
Speaker 1: to find a way to heat her back up again.
Speaker 1: This shouldn't be hard. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he's waiting for. I really don't. This week's episode
Speaker 1: is sponsored by Express VPN. Imagine you're taking your first
Speaker 1: vacation of the new year. You want to get away
Speaker 1: to a warmer climate for the winter. You're headed for
Speaker 1: Parts Unknown, and you ignore the flight crew as they're
Speaker 1: doing their usual safety demonstration. You don't think anything is
Speaker 1: going to happen, but what if it does? What if
Speaker 1: the worst happens and that yellow mask it drops down
Speaker 1: from the overhead and you start to panic because you
Speaker 1: weren't paying attention and you have absolutely no idea what
Speaker 1: to do. That's what it's like going online with that ExpressVPN.

Speaker 1: the return of Kenney Omega, who already had the match
Speaker 1: of the year this past weekend at wrestled Dynasty. If
Speaker 1: you didn't see that match, they had him and Gabe
Speaker 1: Kid had just an outstanding man. I got a full
Speaker 1: review of both shows up on the channel right now.
Speaker 1: If you missed it, and if you didn't see the
Speaker 1: shows or you're not really that into New Japan, go
Speaker 1: listen to the review anyway. I'll get you caught up
Speaker 1: on everything. It was just a great match, and Kenny
Speaker 1: was in his Tokyo Dome form, his final form, and
Speaker 1: it was great to see. But he entered here to
Speaker 1: the new music that he debuted at the Tokyo Do
Speaker 1: and he came out to new music on that show,
Speaker 1: which is not as good as his aw music, but
Speaker 1: this one it has kind of a and I know
Speaker 1: he's a big fan of it, so I guess I'm
Speaker 1: not surprised, but he kind of has like a final
Speaker 1: fantasy vibe to it. I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it has a name or anything like that, but
Speaker 1: that's the vibe it gives me. But he got a
Speaker 1: great reception he gets in the ring, and he said
Speaker 1: that that reception is not making this any easier than you.
Speaker 1: He looked very sad, like I'm just sitting here going,
Speaker 1: You're not fooling me with this shit. It was almost
Speaker 1: like he wanted you to think, oh my god, is
Speaker 1: he out here to announce his retirement. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: just saw the show this weekend, Like, you're not fooling me. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're not fooling me. This is the same Kenny Omega.
Speaker 1: He's back. Don't give me this bullshit. Nice try, but
Speaker 1: he said it was a little over a year ago
Speaker 1: that he checked himself into the hospital and he found
Speaker 1: out that he had diverticulitis. And for those who don't
Speaker 1: know what diverticulitis is, it took two feet of his
Speaker 1: intestines from him and if he hadn't checked himself into
Speaker 1: the hospital when he did, his doctor told him that
Speaker 1: he would have been dead. And that's a shoot he
Speaker 1: was very, very sick. You could see it, like if
Speaker 1: you go I'm almost positive that. It was the last
Speaker 1: segment that he had on TV before he got checked
Speaker 1: into the hospital. He was doing the Golden Jets thing.
Speaker 1: Him and Jericho were going to challenge and probably win
Speaker 1: the tag team titles at the World's end. So the
Speaker 1: match never happened, but they came out for a promo
Speaker 1: on Dynamic. He looked terrible. I mean, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say like looking at him, I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, he looks like he's dying. But he did
Speaker 1: not look good at all. And if you go back,
Speaker 1: you could tell something was very wrong with him. Something
Speaker 1: was off, but nobody knew just how off it was.
Speaker 1: And it was very serious, Like had he waited, it's
Speaker 1: very possible he wouldn't be here right now. That's how
Speaker 1: serious it was. So this year, he said, has been
Speaker 1: a rollercoaster ride. But after a successful surgery, he had
Speaker 1: two questions. Number one, he asked the doctor how long
Speaker 1: is the recovery going to be? And number two, when
Speaker 1: can I get back in the ring? And the doctor
Speaker 1: gave him a very sobering answer. The doctor said, Kenny,
Speaker 1: you'll be lucky if you just are able to return
Speaker 1: into a normal life, let alone like get back in
Speaker 1: the ring and wrestle. So being a pro wrestler and
Speaker 1: doing what they do, you push things a little too hard.
Speaker 1: And so he ended up back in the hospital four
Speaker 1: more times, for four more weeks at a time, and
Speaker 1: he questioned, can I even do this anymore? Can I
Speaker 1: even do this anymore? And he can't lie. There was
Speaker 1: a moment where he felt like giving up was the
Speaker 1: safest option, and once he considered that option, he realized,
Speaker 1: what purpose does he even have on this planet if
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the fans with him. A few days ago,
Speaker 1: he found his purpose in Tokyo, Japan, just like he
Speaker 1: found his purpose here tonight, and that is if he
Speaker 1: is not in the ring every single week, giving us
Speaker 1: everything that he has, then he is just not living.
Speaker 1: So even though he might not be the same guy,
Speaker 1: this new version of Kenny Omega that is not concerned
Speaker 1: about money, he's not concerned about power, not concerned about revenge,
Speaker 1: he can still prove. And then he got cut off,
Speaker 1: got cut off by Don Callus's music. Callous walked out
Speaker 1: with a microphone says, well, look who's back. From the
Speaker 1: debt like he didn't even get the word dead out
Speaker 1: before Omega. He jumped out of the ring. He sprinted
Speaker 1: out of this ring. It it's a short eyeway, but
Speaker 1: sprinted out of the ring down the aisleway and got
Speaker 1: his hands on Callous until Brian Cage and Lance Archer
Speaker 1: came out to rescue him, and then they double teamed Omega.
Speaker 1: They took him into the ring. Kyle Fletcher showed up
Speaker 1: and so now it was three on one and Brian
Speaker 1: Cage delivered a body blow to Omega right into his
Speaker 1: previously diverticulitis infested and tested. He just struck him right
Speaker 1: in the ribs and the announcer sold a big will
Speaker 1: Osprey's music hits. He runs out with a chair. He
Speaker 1: fighted off the Callus family and then he's standing in
Speaker 1: the ring with the chair. Slowly turns to look at Omega.
Speaker 1: Omega looks at him, Osprey drops the chair. We get
Speaker 1: a face to face with them in the middle of
Speaker 1: the ring. Tense standoff, and that's how they went off
Speaker 1: the air. Two men who have been wronged by Don
Speaker 1: Callous in the past. Although they didn't look united, they
Speaker 1: didn't look very happy with each other, but they very
Speaker 1: quickly in running down the card for next week, added
Speaker 1: that Tony Kahan just announced that I guess Tony Shavani
Speaker 1: wasn't there, so we couldn't have Shava. I'm being told
Speaker 1: of my ear by Tony Khan. But they said Tony
Speaker 1: Khan had relayed the message that it's going to be
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega in ring next week against Brian ka which
Speaker 1: is great. It's great because this is what I was
Speaker 1: hoping for. I was not so much interested in Kenny
Speaker 1: Omega coming back and then making appearances here and there.
Speaker 1: We need Omega back in the ring now, like he
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to wrestle every week. We need him
Speaker 1: back in the ring out. We need to get him
Speaker 1: back in the mix now, so they're not wasting any time.
Speaker 1: He's going to be back in the ring next week
Speaker 1: against Brian Cage. I love, by the way, how he's
Speaker 1: out there saying I'm not back for revenge, and then
Speaker 1: a moment later he's sprinting out of the ring towards
Speaker 1: Don Kallas to get his revenge, to get his revenge
Speaker 1: on the men who wronged him. So a little bit
Speaker 1: hypocritical there, I would say, But I you know, with
Speaker 1: that comment though, I wasn't even thinking about don Kallis,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the Elite, and it made me
Speaker 1: wonder if this is their way of effectively writing that
Speaker 1: off at the time being, because you would think, like
Speaker 1: the last time we saw him on TV, he was
Speaker 1: laid out by the elite. They tried to They tried
Speaker 1: to kill the guy, right, Jack Perry and the Bucks
Speaker 1: and Okada, And we know we got the little teas
Speaker 1: with Okada, so clearly they're building to something with him
Speaker 1: and Okada for all In. But all In is not
Speaker 1: for another seven months, So what do you do with
Speaker 1: him in the interim? Does he go after Jack Perry?
Speaker 1: He might. I'm not saying they won't have a match
Speaker 1: at some point, but it felt to me like this
Speaker 1: was their way of kind of getting away from that
Speaker 1: by having him say, look, I'm not here to settle scores.
Speaker 1: I'm not here for revenge. So that's why we don't
Speaker 1: see him immediately going back after the elite. But the
Speaker 1: elite's not there. That's the thing, Like the Bucks are
Speaker 1: him back yet, and when the Bucks come back, they're
Speaker 1: probably gonna be babyfaces. Okada wasn't there tonight. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: Jack Perry because he was on the Wrestled Dynasty card.
Speaker 1: He I don't know if he's back in the States
Speaker 1: or not. I would imagine he is, but who gives
Speaker 1: a shit. But I wonder if that line was in
Speaker 1: there for that purpose, because they're not planning on going
Speaker 1: back to that. So let's just let's just try to
Speaker 1: explain why Kenny Omega is not back in a fit
Speaker 1: of rage to get his revenge on Jack Perry. But
Speaker 1: it's great to have him back on TV. I think
Speaker 1: here's what I think the play is. The play is
Speaker 1: not Omega and Ospra. They wanted you to think that
Speaker 1: the play for Grand Slam in Australia is one of
Speaker 1: two things. It's either Omega and Fletcher or a tag
Speaker 1: team match with Omega and Osprey as a tag team
Speaker 1: against Fletcher and Kenoski Takeshta and I'm kind of leaning
Speaker 1: towards the tag match because otherwise I don't know what
Speaker 1: Osprey does, so I think that's what we're headed for.
Speaker 1: It's like I said, Omega and Fletcher, I could see that,
Speaker 1: but I think we're heading for a tag team match
Speaker 1: on that show. So on the whole I mean, I
Speaker 1: thought the show. I thought it was a good show tonight,
Speaker 1: better than last week. And the biggest thing, the biggest
Speaker 1: takeaway is that we have a very big star back
Speaker 1: on the show that Tony Kahan has been sorely missing
Speaker 1: for a very long time. I don't like what they're
Speaker 1: doing with MJF at the moment, but I'm also gonna
Speaker 1: sit here and tell you right now, like we're going
Speaker 1: to get clearly we're going to get an MJF and
Speaker 1: Jeff Jarrett match, And I actually think when we get
Speaker 1: that match, and I don't know when they're planning on
Speaker 1: doing it, but I'll go out right now and say that,
Speaker 1: even though I'm not really a huge fan of this,
Speaker 1: I actually think the match between them could be excellent.
Speaker 1: I think if they tell that story the right way
Speaker 1: and they play off the emotion, where like I said,
Speaker 1: Jared is very good, I think at getting sympathy from
Speaker 1: the audience, MJF knows how to get heat. Put those
Speaker 1: two together, I think those two could end up having
Speaker 1: a great match, as good of a match as Jeff
Speaker 1: Jarrett will probably have with anybody in this company this year.
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna shit on the match, but MJF
Speaker 1: should be doing a lot more than just this, Like
Speaker 1: it's just kind of ridiculous. The collision card this weekend
Speaker 1: Copeland and Big Bill, So basically Little Edge and Big
Speaker 1: Edge are gonna go one on one. Dax Harwood is
Speaker 1: going to take on Chris Jericho, two of aw's biggest fans,
Speaker 1: and the women's world champion Mariah ma A in a
Speaker 1: non title match. Some hot girl graps one on one
Speaker 1: with Harley Cameron Dynamite next week, John Moxley defends the
Speaker 1: AW World title against Powerhouse Hobbs. Kenny Omega takes on
Speaker 1: Brian Cage, Christian Cage takes on Hook and the Women's
Speaker 1: Casino Gauntlet the right to challenge for the World Championship
Speaker 1: in Australia next month. So that is your Dynamite lineup
Speaker 1: for next weekend or next week. Collision is this weekend,
Speaker 1: Dynamite is next week. What did you think of Dynamite
Speaker 1: for January eighth? Fifty percent thumbs up, fifty point three
Speaker 1: forty nine point seven percent thumbs down, so almost an
Speaker 1: exact even split. You can't get much closer than that.
Speaker 1: It's just very slightly thumbs up, but it's it's a
Speaker 1: virtual tie right now, within the margin of error. Put
Speaker 1: it that way. Usually the margin of error is what
Speaker 1: three or four points. We are within the margin of error. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with that comment in the chat butt MJF.
Speaker 1: It just feels there was a time where he really did,
Speaker 1: he felt like the biggest thing in aw and like
Speaker 1: just there would be a potential bidding war because he
Speaker 1: was that big of a star for them, And now
Speaker 1: he's not and not and I shouldn't say he's not,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't feel that way, you know, And and
Speaker 1: him being away for a while didn't help. But that
Speaker 1: feeling that was there before, you know, for MJF, it's
Speaker 1: not there right now, and they need him to get
Speaker 1: that back very quickly because it ain't there right now.
Speaker 1: But you're only as good as the people you work with.
Speaker 1: You're only as good as the ideas they have for you.
Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with his talent. He's got all
Speaker 1: the talent in the world, but what they have him
Speaker 1: doing right now is not exactly lighting the world on fire.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at your super chants.
Speaker 1: We are still short of the goal for be the bookers,
Speaker 1: so you got to get those likes up. If we're
Speaker 1: going to do it tonight, we'll see where we end up.
Speaker 1: Louis is actually starting us off tonight for PW Insider
Speaker 1: NXT will air tonight at eight pm on KTLA. Boy
Speaker 1: do KTLA's phone reps suck giving out information over the phone.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know, Louise, because I don't have KTLA. I'm
Speaker 1: in New York, Rizzo with the ten dollars, super chat happy.
Speaker 1: Every six months, Malachi Black is leaving aw rumor of
Speaker 1: the day. I feel like every six months or so,
Speaker 1: this rumor tends. This rumor trends, So maybe someday they'll
Speaker 1: be right. I think they might be right this time.
Speaker 1: I think they might be right this time. Joseph says, Hey, Solo,
Speaker 1: sending much appreciation you rock. Thank you, Joseph. Dev to Dust,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Mets player David Wright. It's
Speaker 1: kind of a random question, David. I think he might
Speaker 1: be right. I think he might be right. I might
Speaker 1: enjoy that one more depth. To Dust, though David Wright
Speaker 1: was a great player for the Mets. I thought he
Speaker 1: was a great ambassador and still is a great ambassador
Speaker 1: for the team. It's too bet he had the injury
Speaker 1: issues that he had because he could have done even better.
Speaker 1: But I think he's he was a quality player, and
Speaker 1: I think he was a credit to the Mets there
Speaker 1: he is. David theory. Our response to this super chat
Speaker 1: and to Hulk Hogan is yes, Yes, then the subsequent booing,
Speaker 1: and then David says, we went from Solo's CEO dance
Speaker 1: last week to the Hulks are getting booed, to the
Speaker 1: fisting ritual, to Goulberg on TNT being created. Boy, we
Speaker 1: have circled the wagons this week. There's been quite a
Speaker 1: few memorable moments. You never know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 1: It's all unplanned, It just sort of it just happens, right.
Speaker 1: The best stuff happens on the fly, when you least expect.
Speaker 1: That's when you get the Gold Pro Wrestling fannineteen ninety five,
Speaker 1: with thirty one months of membership, AW has stepped up
Speaker 1: their game weekly TV wise. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's true, but it's been reported that Malachi Black is
Speaker 1: leaving AW. I wonder if he is heading back to WWA.
Speaker 1: If he is leaving AW, then he is almost surely
Speaker 1: headed back to WWE at some point. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: he doesn't go back, and I can't imagine that Triple
Speaker 1: H wouldn't love to have him back, just like if
Speaker 1: Samoa Joe became available, Triple H wouldn't love to get
Speaker 1: his hands on Samo Joe, Alex with the twenty five
Speaker 1: brother solo with the new m Mills activating pre Moode.
Speaker 1: We had m Mills on TNT with us last night
Speaker 1: as well. Here she is again tonight. M Mills, thank
Speaker 1: you very much. I hope you are having a great night.
Speaker 1: But Alex says, with the numerous fires out here in La,
Speaker 1: to be able to distract ourselves for a couple of
Speaker 1: hours with your stream is a great feeling. Much love
Speaker 1: as always, and stay strong, La, Alex, stay safe wherever
Speaker 1: you may be. I don't know how close you are
Speaker 1: to where things are happening ground zero over there, but
Speaker 1: it's very scary, and yes, if this could be an
Speaker 1: escape for a couple of hours, then I'm happy for that.
Speaker 1: David says, just wanted to send a shout out to
Speaker 1: those in this chat living in California right now dealing
Speaker 1: with the wildfires. Stay safe everyone. I echo that, Chris Lloyd.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're gonna take their time getting to
Speaker 1: Tony against Mariah Part two. Tony can easily play it
Speaker 1: off as she's excited to have her first title match.
Speaker 1: They might, they might play it out, But I do
Speaker 1: think though this whole amnesia thing, if that's what it
Speaker 1: is like, you can't play it out for too long.
Speaker 1: At some point you're gonna jump the shark with it
Speaker 1: and it just gets old. So maybe she doesn't win
Speaker 1: in Australia, although I think I don't know. I kind
Speaker 1: of think I like the idea of it being a
Speaker 1: swerve where she knows exactly what she's doing and then
Speaker 1: we get the big reveal and you know, she wins.
Speaker 1: If she's gonna win the belt back, she wins the
Speaker 1: belt back there because she's from Australia and it would
Speaker 1: be a great moment and I think it would be
Speaker 1: a cool payoff if that's kind of a little twist
Speaker 1: on what she's doing. But if they wanted to drag
Speaker 1: it out until like Dynasty in April or you know,
Speaker 1: Revolution in March, I mean, that's fine, but like you
Speaker 1: can't You're not gonna push it all the way to
Speaker 1: Texas with this angle unless there's some big development in
Speaker 1: the angle, Like this is nice and fun to follow
Speaker 1: right now, but a few months from now, it's just
Speaker 1: gonna be like can we get on with this? Pro
Speaker 1: Wrestling Fan nineteen ninety five. Moxley against Hobbs next week
Speaker 1: should be good, but we all know what the outcome
Speaker 1: will be because it all leads to Cope and Mox
Speaker 1: at Revolution for the aw World title. See, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about that. I'm not sure about Revolution. I think
Speaker 1: it could be the Grand Slam Maine event and then
Speaker 1: they do Darby at Revolution. I'm sticking to that. I
Speaker 1: think it's mox and Darby at Revolution also because I
Speaker 1: don't want to wait until Revolution to get this Copeland
Speaker 1: and Moxley match, Like I'm already like, all right, come on,
Speaker 1: let's get on with it, you know, and we're still
Speaker 1: a month away from Grand Slam. You really want to
Speaker 1: wait two months for us to get to Revolution? Because
Speaker 1: I don't unregistered hypercam? Why don't promoters use bs in
Speaker 1: real life drama for good storytelling? Fuel? Isn't the point
Speaker 1: of wrestling business to entertain the fans for their money? Oh? Backstage,
Speaker 1: I thought you were saying bullshit a lot of the
Speaker 1: backstage drama is bullshit. Well look, Tony Kany used some
Speaker 1: backstage drama to pop a number in April with c
Speaker 1: I'm Punk and Jack Perry. He popped the big number.
Speaker 1: He hasn't come anywhere close to that number since. Sometimes
Speaker 1: the drama backstage is better left backstage. Sometimes it's cool
Speaker 1: to play off of it. Like Brent and Sean. You
Speaker 1: can feel the tension between them every time they were
Speaker 1: on TV. That was fun. Maybe not for the people
Speaker 1: who had to work with them at that time, but
Speaker 1: that was fun. But there's backstage drama that belongs backstage
Speaker 1: and not out on camera. AW has had enough drama
Speaker 1: for the last two years. We don't need to create
Speaker 1: more Oz and Glorious Malachai. House of Black sell more
Speaker 1: merch and are more interesting in one week than Garcia
Speaker 1: will be his entire career. Malachi crossed or annoyed Tony
Speaker 1: Kahan at some point, no doubt, there's something that happened
Speaker 1: and I don't know what it was. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. It just doesn't make sense. The thing
Speaker 1: that really struck me it was one of the videos
Speaker 1: that Malachi posted when he was annoyed that people were
Speaker 1: talking about how he's hurt, that's why he's not in
Speaker 1: singles matches. So he had to post a video and said, look,
Speaker 1: he was trying to be nice about it, but he
Speaker 1: was clearly just pissed off and frustrated, and he goes,
Speaker 1: I'm not hurt. I oh, look look at this two
Speaker 1: best friends on your screen right now. But he was
Speaker 1: clearly annoyed, and he said, look, I'm not hurt. And
Speaker 1: as far as why I don't have more singles matches,
Speaker 1: his answer was basically like I'm not the guy to
Speaker 1: ask about that. And that's what made me go okay,
Speaker 1: all right, like he's he's speaking volumes without actually saying it.
Speaker 1: So yes, I agree, something happened at some point. I
Speaker 1: don't know what, I don't know why, but clearly he
Speaker 1: is not gonna go any higher than he is right now.
Speaker 1: So that much is clear, because if he was going to,
Speaker 1: it would have happened by now. We got Oz glorious again,
Speaker 1: says sometimes, Tony Kahn's like a guy with a garage
Speaker 1: full of Italian supercars that prefers to drive a motted
Speaker 1: out Toyota Camry with racing stripes just to prove a point.
Speaker 1: That's quite the analogy there, uh becomes see clearly what
Speaker 1: Speedball Mike Bailey match would you recommend besides the one
Speaker 1: with Osprey and watching more speedball he's great sucks he's
Speaker 1: on TNA. Well, you'll be happy to know he's no
Speaker 1: longer with TNA. He is out of TNA as of
Speaker 1: the beginning of November, and I think I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was a noncompete or what, but he's I
Speaker 1: think he's officially free and clear now and the belief
Speaker 1: is he's on his way into AAW. So, yes, he
Speaker 1: is no longer with TNA. We had Speedball in House
Speaker 1: of Glory a bunch of times and he had some
Speaker 1: great matches there. But one I'll recommend to you though,
Speaker 1: is the match he had with Takeshta at the Maple
Speaker 1: Leaf Pro Show. Scott de moorse new promotion. They had
Speaker 1: their debut weekend in October. They haven't done shows since,
Speaker 1: but they had two shows up in Canada the weekend
Speaker 1: of I think October nineteenth and twentieth, and Takesha was
Speaker 1: in the main event both nights. Night one, I believe
Speaker 1: defended his international title against Speedball and then Night two
Speaker 1: he defended against Josh Alexander, who's also going to be
Speaker 1: if he's not already a free agent and out of TNA.
Speaker 1: Both matches were great. The speedball match, I think I
Speaker 1: like more great match. So you want a recommendation, go
Speaker 1: find that match. Maple Leaf Pro. What was it Forged
Speaker 1: in Combat? I think was the name of the show.
Speaker 1: That was a great one. And Oz says Private Party
Speaker 1: had one good match five years ago. When you're not
Speaker 1: given the opportunity, brother, it's hard to to do much there.
Speaker 1: You got to be featured. You got to be featured
Speaker 1: in the ring with the best tag teams in the company.
Speaker 1: And it's not just the young Bucks at the time.
Speaker 1: You know, you got you had the Luca Bros. You
Speaker 1: got FTR, you got SCU at one point, and best Friends.
Speaker 1: You have all these teams. You had Lax, proud and powerful,
Speaker 1: whatever they were. Where was Private Party and all that.
Speaker 1: Part of the problem is that Mark Quinn got hurt.
Speaker 1: He was gone for a very long time, like a
Speaker 1: year or over a year, and so Isaiah started doing
Speaker 1: some goofy stuff with the Hardy's and you know, the
Speaker 1: Matt Hardy gimmick and everything, and they really stifled their
Speaker 1: momentum and their growth. That was part of it. Also,
Speaker 1: it wasn't just the booking, it was the injury, but
Speaker 1: the booking was definitely part of it. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I've had the chance to see Private Party call their matches.
Speaker 1: I know where they came from, I know what they're
Speaker 1: capable of, I know what they can do. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I'm going to rank Private Party as the
Speaker 1: greatest team on the aw roster. What I'm saying is
Speaker 1: though to insinuate that, well, they weren't worth investing it,
Speaker 1: or they had matches that weren't great, and that's why
Speaker 1: they didn't get pushed. They never got the opportunity to
Speaker 1: really get pushed. It took five years for them to
Speaker 1: really get the chance to finally and not just win
Speaker 1: the titles. But okay, now we're being featured in a
Speaker 1: prominent way. And I don't hold that against them. I
Speaker 1: hold that against Tony Kah because if they were featured
Speaker 1: prominently and had matches with all these other great teams,
Speaker 1: and they were, they were having stinkers every week or
Speaker 1: just like average matches, It's like, Okay, maybe it's not them,
Speaker 1: it's you. But they really weren't given the opportunity, but
Speaker 1: the injury played a role too. Arabian Night says per
Speaker 1: Wressell votes and Wressell nomics. Raw on Netflix only drew
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand live viewers in the US. That seems low. Also,
Speaker 1: could you see Keith Lee joining the Hurt syndicate? H
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see him joining. Is that true?
Speaker 1: Six hundred thousand? That's that sounds like a fucking awful number.
Speaker 1: I'll have to look into this, but yeah, on the
Speaker 1: surface that that that does not sound good at all. Uh.
Speaker 1: Clay v man O seven Teken added Final Fantasy sixteen's
Speaker 1: Clive as DLC to get Soakin's music, and now aw
Speaker 1: brought Kenny back to get Soakin's music. Are you gonna
Speaker 1: hate me if I tell you? I have no idea
Speaker 1: who Soakin is? I mean, I know he did the
Speaker 1: music that Kenny comes out to. But is that a band?
Speaker 1: Is that a guy? Is that a girl? Like? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I'm not familiar with their music.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is, so go easy on me,
Speaker 1: but I don't know who Soaking is. Styles Fans sixty
Speaker 1: one nine buy or sell Charles Mason or Vince Russo.
Speaker 1: Is it true that Noah Mark watches German She's videos.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You have to ask Noah Mark, what
Speaker 1: are you asking me for? Whatever he's into? I don't
Speaker 1: want to know. Bace Beers, thank you for the two bucks.
Speaker 1: Om too cool. I love how Coronett calls him wheeler useless?
Speaker 1: Is that what he calls him? George Seckman was going on, George,
Speaker 1: Announcers should remain impartial and not try to start storylines
Speaker 1: on their own. I agree with New Japan suspending Charlton
Speaker 1: for going off script on his own. Well, I disagree.
Speaker 1: I think it's bullshit. I think if they have an
Speaker 1: issue with it, pull him aside and tell him don't
Speaker 1: do that again. I think suspending him is a bullshit move.
Speaker 1: But you know, look, the culture over there is different,
Speaker 1: and maybe they have a lower tolerance for that sort
Speaker 1: of thing. I think. I just think, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think you could certainly unless he was warned in
Speaker 1: advance and he did it anyway, like if he was
Speaker 1: insubordinate in some way, and then that's a different story.
Speaker 1: But if we assume that there was nothing said in
Speaker 1: advance and he just kind of went and did it
Speaker 1: to try to spice things up a little bit, then
Speaker 1: pull them aside and say, look, you shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1: Don't do that again, simple as that. I think it's
Speaker 1: a bitch move, and I think Tony Shavanni posting that
Speaker 1: tweet frankly was a bitch move OZ and Glorious is.
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone will treat hobbes impending loss to Moxley
Speaker 1: as graciously as they did when equally boring big guy
Speaker 1: Wardlow lost to Samoa Joe Clean. Well, you got a
Speaker 1: lot of bad opinions tonight, so you're denying that Wardlow
Speaker 1: is super over at one point. See, you're just being
Speaker 1: blind now that Oz says WCW legend Jeff Jared is
Speaker 1: better than w W Bootlick or John Cen. I think
Speaker 1: Oz is under the influence of something tonight. Be calm.
Speaker 1: See clearly, I love Moxley so much, but it's time
Speaker 1: to drop the title at the next Big Show Revolution.
Speaker 1: He needs to not have that World Championship. Love you
Speaker 1: solo in this community we have love you guys. Yes,
Speaker 1: he needs to drop the title by Revolution. I agree.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be to Darby I think Darby gets
Speaker 1: a token run. He's not gonna have it for very long.
Speaker 1: Eating Thank you, brother, h we got t MAC zero
Speaker 1: three four. Will a wild slap nuts appear one last time?
Speaker 1: Says shout out to Marky D one two three for
Speaker 1: the joke. Jeff Jared is tripping if he thinks that
Speaker 1: he should win the aw Championship Arabian Night. Who did
Speaker 1: Hobbes work or who'd Hobbes work after Mons? You mean,
Speaker 1: who would he work? He's not fighting for a title.
Speaker 1: I don't see a top heel at the moment. Free
Speaker 1: to work with him. He would be better a better
Speaker 1: fit in the Hurt syndicate than Anthony Bow's Maybe, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Take any of the million fucking people on
Speaker 1: the roster and manufacture a story for They have so
Speaker 1: many people. I'm sure we could come up with some
Speaker 1: kind of story for the guy as long as he's
Speaker 1: doing something. But don't just have him losing then just
Speaker 1: drop off the face of the earth. That's all I'm saying, Ritchie,
Speaker 1: Are we gonna get Hollywood Hogan back? They made headlines
Speaker 1: with the booze? Did you see him walk out there
Speaker 1: on Monday Night? You think he belongs on fucking television.
Speaker 1: He belongs in a rocking chair. He can barely move
Speaker 1: Oz says Jeff. Jared is picking his final run opponents
Speaker 1: a la stay well, he can pick wherever he wants to.
Speaker 1: Tony Khan is the boss, though Tony Khan has still
Speaker 1: has final say yay or nay over who he works with.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Sting didn't. To my knowledge, Sting
Speaker 1: didn't hand pick all the people he worked with. He
Speaker 1: chose the Young Bucks for his final match. But Sting
Speaker 1: wasn't showing up with like, hey, I got a list here,
Speaker 1: Tony of all the guys I want to work with.
Speaker 1: And John Cena has said he's not lobbying for any opponents.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna show up to work and do what
Speaker 1: he's told. Maybe Jared is doing things differently the average
Speaker 1: grunt Omega an Osprey for IWGP Tag Team Champions Please
Speaker 1: styles fan. Do you see the FS one lawsuit and
Speaker 1: the Joy Taylor stuff? No? No, I have not read
Speaker 1: about that. Oh yeah, are you talking about the Skip
Speaker 1: baylest thing? Is that the skip I did hear about that.
Speaker 1: I don't know all the details. I just read that
Speaker 1: he offered her money to Wow. I mean, just the
Speaker 1: thought of it makes me want a fucking puke. But
Speaker 1: if that's the Skip Baylest thing, yes, I did hear
Speaker 1: about that, and I don't like Skip Bayless anyway, so
Speaker 1: fuck him. That's my thoughts on that Insecure Skeletor. I
Speaker 1: was at the show tonight and I hope we came across. Well.
Speaker 1: I see Omega back to feuding with Takeshta for the
Speaker 1: international title. You see the Bucks trying to get with
Speaker 1: Kenny when they return, that's possible. I don't see Kenny
Speaker 1: going after the international title, though, because I think they're
Speaker 1: they're building to him and Okada for the continental title.
Speaker 1: And if he's going to wrestle Takesha, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: to win because Kenny should not be going in there
Speaker 1: and losing to Takesha. Takesha already beat him. If they
Speaker 1: run that match back again, Kenny's gonna win, and Kenny
Speaker 1: Omega doesn't need the international title. The Juliette had to
Speaker 1: hear the new super chat. Also to everybody in the
Speaker 1: path of the California wildfires, stay safe. Thank you, juliet
Speaker 1: I hope you are having a wonderful night. Takesha beat
Speaker 1: him twice. That's right, Thank you for reminding me. So
Speaker 1: do you honestly believe that if you get these two
Speaker 1: back in the ring for a third time, it's going
Speaker 1: to go the same way it did the first two times.
Speaker 1: I mean, my whole thing with the Continental Classic, when
Speaker 1: I thought they were teasing something with Okata and Taqushta,
Speaker 1: was that they would meet in the finals and you
Speaker 1: could merge, you could unify the two titles. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I suppose you could always have Kenny go in with
Speaker 1: a belt and have Okata go in with the belt
Speaker 1: and just unify them. But I don't get the sense
Speaker 1: that Tony Kahn wants to do that. Justin g gifted
Speaker 1: a channel membership to the Winston Slip. Very kind of you,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Justin. M Mill, Wow, look at this. Oh well,
Speaker 1: I know, I just noticed we hit our supercheck goal,
Speaker 1: and I guess M Mills has a lot to do
Speaker 1: with that. M Mills just went crazy. Came in with
Speaker 1: a twenty five of twenty and another twenty. M Mills
Speaker 1: is on a roll tonight and another twenty. You are amazing,
Speaker 1: and another twenty, and David also with a twenty. I
Speaker 1: see a you two were tag team here to try
Speaker 1: to get to although she was doing a lot of
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting here. It looks like these last fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, Hey, unregistered hypercam says BS equals bullshit the
Speaker 1: Charlton's I see, well, it looks like we're doing at
Speaker 1: least two rounds of be the Booker. I mean, do
Speaker 1: we hit the like skull we did? Wow? Okay, so
Speaker 1: we're doing you guys are getting three rounds of be
Speaker 1: the Booker tonight. I guess you guys really wanted to
Speaker 1: be the book David thoughts on the Rock promo on
Speaker 1: NXT last night. That's what happens when you go out
Speaker 1: there with no fucking clue what you're gonna say. It
Speaker 1: was very clear to me he had no plan whatsoever.
Speaker 1: He just went out there and just splitly riffed off
Speaker 1: the cuff. I'm not saying it was bad. I mean
Speaker 1: it was you know. I'm sure if you were in
Speaker 1: the live audience, I mean he was dropping f bomb
Speaker 1: after f bomb after f bomb. I'm sure. They posted,
Speaker 1: by the way, the full uncensored version of that on
Speaker 1: the CW Network YouTube channel, So if you want to
Speaker 1: hear all the cuss words, not get bleeped. You can
Speaker 1: go on there and watch the segment. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was a whole lot of nothing. It was just they
Speaker 1: wanted a poperating and guess what, it worked. NXT did
Speaker 1: its biggest number in five years. They did nine hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty seven thousand viewers, and I had people tweeting me, going,
Speaker 1: you see Solomaster NXT. Man, it's the hot show. You
Speaker 1: gotta start reviewing it again. I'm like, dude, the only
Speaker 1: reason the show did nine hundred and fifty seven thousand viewers,
Speaker 1: I promise you had nothing to do with Julia or
Speaker 1: Trick Williams. Nothing. It's called The Rock was promoted to
Speaker 1: be on the show, and next week it'll be right
Speaker 1: back down to earth. So do not mistake that number
Speaker 1: for anything other than what I call the rock pop
Speaker 1: or the rock bump. That's what That number was a
Speaker 1: great number. The only reason the number was that high
Speaker 1: was because The Rock was on the show. So the
Speaker 1: promo I thought, was really not much of anything. He
Speaker 1: didn't say anything in the promo. What did he do?
Speaker 1: He clearly was irritated by the people who were complaining
Speaker 1: about him and Cody Rhodes, hob nobbing on TV, and
Speaker 1: so he lashed out on that and then he just
Speaker 1: said a whole bunch of nothing. He did a rock promo,
Speaker 1: like a rock promo, off the cuff, That's what it was.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was anything special, but people lapped
Speaker 1: that shit up, so good for that. Bcoms. Clearly, are
Speaker 1: we really doing this cop thing Tony chill. It's his idea,
Speaker 1: this is what he wants to do, so we're getting cope.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. DH sires that viewers is
Speaker 1: not real and no one reported that aside from Samba TV,
Speaker 1: which measures viewers from certain smart TVs. Total viewership comes
Speaker 1: next month. Yeah, I mean, I find that very hard
Speaker 1: to believe. There's no way that raw with all the
Speaker 1: promotion and everything and all, I mean, all the people
Speaker 1: on Netflix who would at least check it out part
Speaker 1: of the episode out, There's no way they did. Only
Speaker 1: six hundred thousand viewers, Like, I don't even believe that
Speaker 1: if it was real, though, it's a terrible number, but
Speaker 1: I don't buy it. Duffs vid. Since we haven't seen
Speaker 1: the aw World title belt since John Wanna, do you
Speaker 1: think we'll see a new design after he loses it. Why.
Speaker 1: It's a great looking It's probably the best looking title
Speaker 1: outside of the Winged Eagle and all of wrestling. Why
Speaker 1: change it? It's one thing to change the title if
Speaker 1: it looks like shit. The aw World title is one
Speaker 1: of the most beautiful looking belts actively right now on
Speaker 1: any wrestling show. It's a hell of a lot nicer
Speaker 1: than the giant WWE logo belts. Why the hell would
Speaker 1: you change it? B COMC. Clearly I love Adam Copeland,
Speaker 1: just not the Cope thing. It's annoying and they're laying
Speaker 1: it in and go Hobbes. Surprise the haters. A lot
Speaker 1: of people will be rooting for Hobbes, but he actually
Speaker 1: gonna win. No, he's not. David Theory. It should have
Speaker 1: said in my previous super chat that I did not
Speaker 1: know if you went back and watched it after TNT
Speaker 1: the Rock thing. Yeah, I mean last night it was like,
Speaker 1: what was it six minutes? I think his segment was.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've watched the entire show since last night.
Speaker 1: So I'm very happy that Obafemi got a big win
Speaker 1: and Julia got a big win, you know, and that
Speaker 1: would have been a great way to go off the
Speaker 1: air because after Obafemi one, he went on stage and
Speaker 1: Julia came back out with her title and they posed
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, it's the crowning of like a
Speaker 1: new guard in NXT. And they didn't even end the
Speaker 1: show with it. They ended with the rod Okay alex
Speaker 1: o'choa WrestleMania forty one, Goolberg against the Bukocky Ghost. I'm
Speaker 1: going with the ghost pref Flo Dollar. Look at that
Speaker 1: he went from a half dollar to a full dollar. Apparently,
Speaker 1: Hogan asked why the fans would boo Jimmy Hart and
Speaker 1: when is well, that's the joke he didn't actually as
Speaker 1: and when is the next solo Salcedo crossover. I like
Speaker 1: her hopeful optimism and your realism. We did uh well,
Speaker 1: when did we do a stream? It was a year ago.
Speaker 1: I think we did Royal Rumble predictions on her channel,
Speaker 1: so uh, stay tuned, you never know. I mean if if,
Speaker 1: if the opportunity comes up, I'm open to it. And
Speaker 1: styles fan says Skip Bayless wanted to sleep with a
Speaker 1: hairdresser who filed the lawsuit. She also talked about how
Speaker 1: Joy Taylor slept her way to the top of FS
Speaker 1: one all right. So I didn't know that part of
Speaker 1: the lawsuit because I just don't I just don't care,
Speaker 1: and I honestly, I've just been avoiding just a lot
Speaker 1: of just news in general. I'm just not really paying
Speaker 1: attention to anything right now. So but yeah, the Skip
Speaker 1: Bayless thing I did hear about so couldn't happen to
Speaker 1: a nicer guy. I just never cared for him, and
Speaker 1: he said he has said a lot of stupid shit
Speaker 1: over the years. I just never liked the guy. So
Speaker 1: if it turns out that's what he did, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1: The average grunt Soaken is a final Fantasy composer, hence
Speaker 1: the vibe. Ah, well, let's see that makes sense though
Speaker 1: I know Kenny is a big final fantasy guy, so
Speaker 1: it had that vibe to it when I heard the
Speaker 1: music and hearing that that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: B money oh four, So does John Moxley lose to
Speaker 1: Darby Allen at Revolution then get cashed in on by
Speaker 1: Christian Cage to write him off TV so he can
Speaker 1: climb Mount Everest. It's exactly what I said a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so my mind hasn't changed. You heard it
Speaker 1: here first, So yes, that's exactly what I think is
Speaker 1: gonna happen. That's why I said I think. I think
Speaker 1: they do Moxley and Copeland at Grand Slam, and then
Speaker 1: Revolution is what three weeks later, like March fifth or something,
Speaker 1: and you by then Darby will be back because they
Speaker 1: just wrote him off with an injury angle, and you
Speaker 1: do Darby and mox there and Darby wins the belt.
Speaker 1: One year to the very event where Sting retired, Darby
Speaker 1: wins the aw World Championship, and then on Dynamite that week,
Speaker 1: if not that same night, then on Dynamite that Wednesday,
Speaker 1: Christian Cash is in his contract and wins the championship
Speaker 1: from him. You do an angle to write him off
Speaker 1: so he can go off to begin preparing for the
Speaker 1: climb because he's he's committed to doing it. The only
Speaker 1: reason he didn't climb last year is because he broke
Speaker 1: his foot in that match with j White. But the
Speaker 1: climb would be in April if he does it, so
Speaker 1: not a lot of time left between now and then,
Speaker 1: and usually I think it's like a two month climb.
Speaker 1: So you give them that token title run, you get
Speaker 1: the belt off Moxley, and then you just kind of
Speaker 1: go from there. Whatever the sequence of events then is
Speaker 1: from Christian to whoever comes after Christian. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean we could come up with any number of
Speaker 1: names who who should be, you know, aw, world champion
Speaker 1: this year like Osprey, But if that happens, I don't
Speaker 1: see that happening until later in the year. But I
Speaker 1: think that's how it plays out. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be Darby it revolution Everest should
Speaker 1: be closed. There's a lot of dead bodies on Everest.
Speaker 1: Like if you've read about what happens up there, it
Speaker 1: is scary. Like imagine you're you're you're climbing that mountain
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's just windy and frigid, and there's
Speaker 1: snow blowing in your face, and you know, the higher
Speaker 1: up you go, the oxygen level like everything right, And
Speaker 1: imagine you're walking by and you just see bodies buried
Speaker 1: in the snow, like this is commonplace there. It's not
Speaker 1: like they can just have people go up there and
Speaker 1: retrieve them. So they're just laying there just to remind
Speaker 1: you of how things could turn out for you, right.
Speaker 1: I bet those people when they climbed up there thought
Speaker 1: they were going to come back down, and they didn't.
Speaker 1: So you need to know the risks. And there are
Speaker 1: people who lose their lives on that mountain who have
Speaker 1: been mountain climbing and training and preparing to do this
Speaker 1: for years. Darby's been doing it for probably a handful
Speaker 1: of months. I mean, I know he likes to do
Speaker 1: crazy shit, but I hope he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1: That's all I can say. I hope he knows what
Speaker 1: he's doing. Justin says, I live at fifty five hundred
Speaker 1: feet elevation Hell with Everest Chris. Do you think Samantha
Speaker 1: Irvin will be all elite? I do. Look, I pitched
Speaker 1: the idea of her managing Ricochet. I just you run
Speaker 1: the risk of her ending up becoming a bigger star
Speaker 1: than him, But I think they could get tremendous heat.
Speaker 1: So do I think she ultimately ends up there, Yes,
Speaker 1: because I think she wants to perform. That's why she
Speaker 1: left ww A. They didn't see her as a performer.
Speaker 1: They wanted her as a ring announcer. She wants to perform,
Speaker 1: she wants to be on the show, she wants to
Speaker 1: be a character, she wants to be a manager, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't see any reason for her not to join, right,
Speaker 1: you know, Tony Kahn would probably bring her in. Mount
Speaker 1: Everest equals one of the highest graveyards in the world.
Speaker 1: It probably is the highest graveyard in the world. What
Speaker 1: else would be higher? All right, we got three rounds
Speaker 1: be the booker to do you guys killed it tonight.
Speaker 1: My reward to you. Let us begin, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: It is now time to be the booker. Oh, it's time, baby,
Speaker 1: it's time. It's Vader time. It's time to be the booker.
Speaker 1: This is round number one, which means we're booking nine
Speaker 1: matches tonight. And I think what I'll do is I'll
Speaker 1: save the stipulations for the final round, so we'll pick
Speaker 1: STIPs for all the matches in round three. Let us begin,
Speaker 1: would tag team be the booker as we usually do,
Speaker 1: as we take this here for spin, and we begin
Speaker 1: with We're Pungievice, Rocky Romero and Trent BARRETTA is how
Speaker 1: we are beginning. Be the booker. Rapunkievice, M Rapunkievice is
Speaker 1: gonna take on American Alpha, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan say.
Speaker 1: I was on the fence about how this was gonna
Speaker 1: end up. I was a big American Alpha fan, and
Speaker 1: I'm very sad they never got a proper run on
Speaker 1: the main roster together. Loved American Alpha. When was the
Speaker 1: last time we landed on h on who Ower spying
Speaker 1: games American alf I think we landed on them once before.
Speaker 1: Women's be the Booker. I know we've chosen this woman
Speaker 1: before we had Emma. I don't think Emma's even wrestling anymore.
Speaker 1: Emma gonna go one on one with machi Ito just
Speaker 1: sounds like a terrible match. Oh, where's machi Itto? But
Speaker 1: I haven't heard machi Etho's name mentioned in a while.
Speaker 1: Men's be the Booker. Our first main event of the
Speaker 1: evening begins with Arnold Schwarzeneger the Terminator. Look at this,
Speaker 1: The terminator is in the main event, the governor. They
Speaker 1: call him a governor too. Bet he's glad he's not
Speaker 1: the governor right now. Wouldn't want that headache. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Speaker 1: is going to step in the ring against uh oh,
Speaker 1: Tony DiAngelo had your opponent whacked? Choose again carefully. Somebody
Speaker 1: is sleeping with the fishes. I don't know who it was.
Speaker 1: We gotta choose again. Somebody bit the dust. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Speaker 1: against Bill Goldberg. Look, everyone, it's Gooberg. Talk about the
Speaker 1: blind leading the blind, My god, the injuries that would
Speaker 1: take place in this match, the absolute state of this
Speaker 1: main event. Yes, Gooberg is with us. If you missed
Speaker 1: that great moment on TNT last night, I was talking
Speaker 1: about Goldberg and Gunther, and for some reason I started saying,
Speaker 1: I said Goulberg, like, it's like I merged the two
Speaker 1: of them together, and we had a very nice laugh
Speaker 1: about Guldberg, which I thought, I actually think it is
Speaker 1: quite an appropriate name for him to use here in
Speaker 1: this final run that he's going to have this year.
Speaker 1: Charlotte says, three boring minutes. Interesting train wreck. Yeah, train
Speaker 1: wreck is a good way to put it. Oh man,
Speaker 1: you knew I wasn't giving the bell to Gulberg in
Speaker 1: my main event. You had to know that. We begin
Speaker 1: round number two, you're get in three. This is round two.
Speaker 1: We gotta do better than that. Let's see. Let's see
Speaker 1: those Gulberg emojis, everybody, Let's see the ghost. Couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: we're all going to be in Atlanta. Goulberg is going
Speaker 1: to be back. Get ready Broke Solo and JD for
Speaker 1: five minutes. Yeah, I've never turned that red in my
Speaker 1: entire life. That looked like my blood pressure was like
Speaker 1: three hundred over two hundred or something. All right, tag
Speaker 1: team to be the booker. We have the fabulous Rougea Brothers.
Speaker 1: But see this is from my favorite period where they
Speaker 1: had the little American flags and they were mocking everybody.
Speaker 1: They were the All American Boys. They had great theme
Speaker 1: music too. The fabulous Rougeo Brothers are gonna be taken
Speaker 1: on Doom. Ron Simmons and Butcher Read and look who's
Speaker 1: in the middle, Terry Fuck, Terry Funk, Teddy Long. What
Speaker 1: the hell is wrong with me? Teddy Long, Terry Funk
Speaker 1: would have been a hell of a manager for Doom,
Speaker 1: but that ain't Terry Funk. I think Solo needs sleep.
Speaker 1: Fucking Guildberg. Last night, I'm calling Teddy Long Terry Funk.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell's wrong with me. This
Speaker 1: is what happens when you sleep four hours a night.
Speaker 1: What the hell is gonna happen on the SmackDown stream
Speaker 1: this Friday. Our women's be the booker. We have Wendy Richter,
Speaker 1: the former women's world champion Tony Storm. Timeless Tony Storm
Speaker 1: never did get her match with Wendy Richter. Maybe she'll
Speaker 1: get her match and be the booker. Timeless Tony Storm
Speaker 1: is in here. You know, wouldn't that be something if
Speaker 1: we landed on timeless Tony Storm and Wendy Richter. That
Speaker 1: is definitely not timeless Tony Storm. That is Rosa Mendez
Speaker 1: and that is an automatic buzz all right, our second
Speaker 1: main event of the night. We already buzzed one main event.
Speaker 1: We need a winner here, all right? All right? We
Speaker 1: have the monster Abyss points to whoever remembers the name
Speaker 1: of the giant board with the nails in it that
Speaker 1: he's holding in his hand. Here in this photo, we
Speaker 1: have Abyss against Solo Socoa. That's not a main event.
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit what anybody says. That is
Speaker 1: not a main event. I am trying to a main event,
Speaker 1: a match on the marquee that you look at and
Speaker 1: you go, holy shit, I need to buy a ticket
Speaker 1: to see that. That is not Abyss and Solosco. That's
Speaker 1: two in a row. Now gone lost. What are we
Speaker 1: doing here? What is going on here? Is Russo booking
Speaker 1: this show? I think so. I think he's invaded bro.
Speaker 1: All right, I said we're doing stipulations here, didn't I okay,
Speaker 1: why don't we pick the stip first. We are doing
Speaker 1: stipulations for all of these matches. We're going to begin
Speaker 1: with the tag team match, and it is going to
Speaker 1: be a tag team TLC match. Now, there have been
Speaker 1: some classic ones. Edgend, Christian and the Hardys and the
Speaker 1: Dudleys were in most of them. Let's see they're in
Speaker 1: here too. Edge and Christian are in here, the Hardy's,
Speaker 1: the Dudleys, They're all in here. So let's see. Uh God,
Speaker 1: we have the Butcher and the Blade, the Butcher and
Speaker 1: the Blade in this TLC match, and they will be
Speaker 1: taking on too Cool. This is a disaster of a Knight.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just one of those nights. This is turning
Speaker 1: into one of those nights. Get out of here, getting
Speaker 1: ahead of myself our women's match. This is why I
Speaker 1: don't That's why I don't gamble. Like if I went
Speaker 1: to Vegas or I went to Atlantic City and I
Speaker 1: hit like the crap stable or the poker table, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like blowing on the dice and like, this is
Speaker 1: what would happen. I would lose my shirt, okay, and
Speaker 1: ain't nobody need to see that? This is why I
Speaker 1: don't gamble. We land on on a pole bro as
Speaker 1: our stipulation for the women's match. What what is going
Speaker 1: on here? I don't know what's going on here, but
Speaker 1: apparently we're putting Are we putting two women on a pole?
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're doing here? We're having a
Speaker 1: pole match, everybody, So the two women we land on
Speaker 1: are going to be basically, I guess pole dancing. They're
Speaker 1: going to be pole dancing. That that definitely is a
Speaker 1: Russo stipulation. Well, well, I mean, all right, we've got
Speaker 1: Evn Marie all read. Everything is going to be in
Speaker 1: the poll match and uh Evn Marie and uh well,
Speaker 1: I mean, uhh we won one. We finally won one.
Speaker 1: Not the way that I expected, but we finally won one.
Speaker 1: Now we come to our third and final made event
Speaker 1: of the evening. Don't ask questions and just go with it.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a wrestling match. Here we go stipulation for
Speaker 1: our main event. This main event is going to be
Speaker 1: a stretcher match. It's gonna be a stretcher match. Now
Speaker 1: we find out who it's going to be with. Are
Speaker 1: you ready? Here we go. I'm blowing on the dice.
Speaker 1: I'm rolling the dice. Fuck off, fuck you, you fucking fuck.
Speaker 1: How did we go from on a pole bro to
Speaker 1: Vince Russo in our main event? I don't even know
Speaker 1: what to say to this, don't This truly has been
Speaker 1: invaded by Russo tonight. This has been the Russo takeover
Speaker 1: of Be the Booker. Yeah, we have gone full WCW
Speaker 1: two thousand on this street. And this is a stretcher match.
Speaker 1: By the way, don't forget. I can think of one
Speaker 1: person who would love to put Vince Russo on a stretcher.
Speaker 1: He's in here too. This is going to be very interesting.
Speaker 1: This is going to be interesting. Vince Russo in a
Speaker 1: stretcher match against Alberto Dell. Dipshit, we have just completed.
Speaker 1: I am safely going to assume that this is the
Speaker 1: case that we have just completed the worst series of
Speaker 1: Be the Booker rounds in the history of Be the Booker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It just doesn't get any worse. I can't
Speaker 1: think of one that's worse. It doesn't exist. I I
Speaker 1: wish we could have done better. I feel like I have.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've let you down. I feel like
Speaker 1: I've let you down. But that's all I got. The
Speaker 1: single worst edition of Be the Booker in the history
Speaker 1: of this channel has just been completed. There's been worse.
Speaker 1: Let's Spend says that it's been worse. I find that
Speaker 1: very hard to believe. We've had We've had worse mass
Speaker 1: but it was just one round of shit after another.
Speaker 1: I can't believe. I can't believe that we went from
Speaker 1: a pole Bro match to then Russo in the main event.
Speaker 1: How does that happen? Won't be coming back to watch
Speaker 1: this promotion. We just killed the territory. We killed the town,
Speaker 1: is what we did tonight. Congratulations warhog Rambo. Vince Russo
Speaker 1: has killed another provid has killed another promotion. What is that?
Speaker 1: Number two? Three? Warhog Rambo says, is n Italia Markova
Speaker 1: and Be the Booker? She is not? She probably should
Speaker 1: be though she used to be our House of Glory
Speaker 1: women's champion and Richie buy or Sell even Marie or
Speaker 1: Mandy Rose also a Mandy Rose? Also what was the
Speaker 1: rock bothered by on n X team? Now he was
Speaker 1: poking fun at all the people who were bitching the
Speaker 1: night before about him and Cody being friends and drinking
Speaker 1: tequila together. And you know, he said, basically, shut your
Speaker 1: bitch ass up and enjoy the ride that the Rock
Speaker 1: is taking you on. That's basically what he said. Gouldberg
Speaker 1: is not a super shot yet, but it will be.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm contemplating ideas. I need a good image of
Speaker 1: Goldberg as like a like an undead zombie or a
Speaker 1: ghoul of some kind. I know I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: want that, and so then I'll have to try. I'll
Speaker 1: try to be creative and see where we can come up.
Speaker 1: But yes, we'll put together a Goulberg superchat for sure
Speaker 1: is Charles Mason and be the booker. Now, fuck that
Speaker 1: guy Russo put himself over. Yeah, it's almost like Russo,
Speaker 1: you know, as if he one day would have made
Speaker 1: himself the world champion or something. Solo's card is still
Speaker 1: better than Helena cell In twenty nineteen, you talk about
Speaker 1: Hunter and Tony booking that you pulled this shit tonight.
Speaker 1: I have failed you. I mean, look, I have failed you.
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. Well, thank you guys,
Speaker 1: thanks for all the added rounds. Would be the Booker,
Speaker 1: because look look what happened, but at least we hit
Speaker 1: our goal. Hog executives are watching this be the Booker
Speaker 1: and are reconsidering your role as commissioner. I'll see them
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I guess they may pull me aside and
Speaker 1: pull the plug on me next week. I guess we'll
Speaker 1: find out. My time may soon be up. I have
Speaker 1: brought shame upon them. James says he's going to be
Speaker 1: having surgery for the first time on a broken wrist,
Speaker 1: and he is scared. Wish me luck, James, You're going
Speaker 1: to be fine. I am sure that everything is going
Speaker 1: to work out exactly the way that it's supposed to.
Speaker 1: It's nothing to be scared about. I assume they're going
Speaker 1: to put you out for it, so you're not gonna
Speaker 1: feel anything. And I've had surgery before and I made
Speaker 1: it out okay, so I know you will too, So
Speaker 1: best of luck. Well, I'm going to be back with
Speaker 1: you on Friday night. I got a rare night off tomorrow,
Speaker 1: which I'm very much looking forward to so I can
Speaker 1: catch up on some TV that I've I've fallen behind in.
Speaker 1: But Friday night, I'll be live after SmackDown, and maybe
Speaker 1: we'll have Gulberg with us by that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We already have the new Hogan Superchat, the new twenty
Speaker 1: three dollars one, so we'll have to see where Gulberg
Speaker 1: may fall in the pecking order there. I might cycle
Speaker 1: out an old one I don't know. Instead of just
Speaker 1: continuously adding to the list. I like to cycle out
Speaker 1: superchats and then replace them with a new one every
Speaker 1: now and then. So I'll have to figure it out.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you got any ideas or any images
Speaker 1: floating around of an undead Goldberg, would I would consider it.
Speaker 1: Send it my way and I'll see if it's useful.
Speaker 1: You would have gotten a job in WCW in two
Speaker 1: thousand with this kind of booking. I wouldn't have wanted
Speaker 1: to work in WCW in two thousand. If they offered
Speaker 1: me a job, I would have said, no, who wants
Speaker 1: to go work for a sinking ship. You can get
Speaker 1: rid of the learning tree. What do you think is
Speaker 1: it time? Is it time to cut down the learning tree?
Speaker 1: I don't know. People seem to love it so much.
Speaker 1: I'll look at Steve Steve's already on it, man, Steve Mellow.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Steve, He's already on it. Am. I
Speaker 1: gonna like it. I gotta really like it, though. See
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna use it, he's got to look like
Speaker 1: a ghoul though. It's gotta have some kind of like
Speaker 1: ghost element to it. We'll see. I'll have to take
Speaker 1: a look at what he sent me here. He already
