WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.120 AW tonight was at the Palms in Las Vegas, the 2 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.560 place where it all began seven years ago. I was 3 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:12.720 there for that first double or Nothing. It all started 4 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.599 in Las Vegas. So they were back tonight, and the 5 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.960 message coming out of this show tonight was very simple. 6 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.199 I haven't had the chance to say this in a while. 7 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:25.679 Champs are chumps. We had a Champs are Chumps night 8 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.079 here on TV in the first example of champs are chumps. 9 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.359 And actually I should say that we have four more 10 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.799 matches now that we know of for this Grand Slam 11 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.719 Australia show, which is taking place not this Saturday, but 12 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.359 it's actually next Saturday. It's a special episode of Collision. 13 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.799 It's on Valentine's Day. That was actually the other thing 14 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.759 about tonight's show. They set up a whole bunch of 15 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.039 new matches. But the first example of champs are chumps 16 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.960 comes with our main event tonight, which was MJF THEAW 17 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.000 World Champion, who was not defending his title, but he 18 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.479 had an eliminator match against Broke. Now, when this match 19 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.920 was set up on Dynamite last week, you remember me saying, 20 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.480 because I'm not a big fan of all these eliminator 21 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.319 matches that we get every week on TV. But I said, 22 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.680 you know, at least in this case, it makes sense, right, 23 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.879 there's a story going into it because MJF has been 24 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.959 stalked and terrorized now for weeks by this man ever 25 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.359 since the Bandido match. And as MJF said to brody King, 26 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.040 you know, you need to beat someone credible, You need 27 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.959 to beat someone elite if you want to get a 28 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.200 shot in my World Championship, and Brody King huddled with 29 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.200 Tony Kannan they decided, you know what, you're right, and 30 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.519 who's more elite than the all elite wrestling World champions 31 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.040 So that's how this match came about. And I live 32 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.159 with that. You know, that's actually a fine way to 33 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.840 explain us getting this eliminator match tonight. What I was 34 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.079 not anticipating is that they were going to have brody 35 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.599 King not only beat MJF, but beat MJF in what 36 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.359 about thirty seconds? I believe it was. The World Champian 37 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.640 was squashed in the main event tonight, and Brody King 38 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.000 has punched his ticket. Hopefully he's got his visa ready 39 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.680 to go, his passport all ready to go, and he 40 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.879 is going to be in Australia challenging for the World 41 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:19.520 Championship against MJF. Now, once they announced this match, it 42 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.000 seemed pretty clear to me that they were setting up 43 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.479 for a Grand Slam title match, which means that if 44 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.960 you're doing an eliminator here, Brodi King has to win. 45 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.599 And there's any number of different ways they could have 46 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.080 gone with this, as far as like a cheap finish, right, 47 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.719 you could have had MJF who's just out of desperation, 48 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.479 gets himself disqualified, a low blow, a belt shot, a nutshot, 49 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.560 something like that, and Brody King wins and that's how 50 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.560 he gets a title match. None of the ways though, 51 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.520 that you could do that are terribly exciting, right, I mean, 52 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.560 this is the main event of your show. What a 53 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.719 lame fucking way to end the show. So what Tony 54 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.080 Kahn decided to do here was to shock people and 55 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.960 to give them an ex citing, unpredictable finish. And that's 56 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.520 the best compliment that I could pay. What happened here 57 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.400 is it was certainly unpredictable. I don't think anybody was 58 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.280 looking at this expecting MJF was going to be squashed 59 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.120 in thirty seconds and pinned in the middle of the ring, 60 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.680 and it's great to have unpredictability on the shows every 61 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.919 now and again. I don't think anybody's gonna complain about that. 62 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.560 I will never be a fan, though, of beating your 63 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.360 world champion in a manner like this. And I understand 64 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.919 mjfs a heel. It's not like he's incapable of getting 65 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.400 his heat back. In the big picture, it's not a 66 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.400 big deal. It's just more as sort of a rule, 67 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.360 beating your world champion is one thing. Beating your world 68 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.159 champion in this way, you've got to be very careful 69 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.400 in how you do it. And the way they did 70 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.599 it here was they had Hangman Page came out, so 71 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.680 there was a distraction. So MJF has his out there 72 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.719 because Old Sea Biscuit came out to the ring and 73 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.319 he provided the distraction which then led to him getting 74 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.360 choked out and then beaten by Brody Kinks. So he 75 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.240 at least has out when we see him on TV 76 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.719 next week. But yeah, yeah, there's a reason why I'm 77 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.599 not a fan of these eliminator matches. And we actually 78 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.000 had two of them on this show tonight where the 79 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.960 champions got beaten. That was one example. The other example 80 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.279 was with the women's tag team titles because we had 81 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.360 the Babes of Wrath losing to Megabad the team of 82 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.759 Meghan Bain and Penelope four to set up a tag 83 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.680 team championship match with those teams for Grand Slam as well, 84 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.800 So he succeeded in setting up a bunch of new 85 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.240 matches for next week, but doing two eliminator matches and 86 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.519 having the champions all lose here in that manner here 87 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.240 on this show. That was certainly a choice. So that 88 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.240 was the second example of champster chumps here on this show. 89 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.439 Now to go back to the world title picture here 90 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.759 for a second, Hangman Page basically got a buy to Australia. 91 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.040 He was supposed to. He was scheduled too and will 92 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.079 meet the winner of Kenny Omega against Andrade, right, we 93 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.800 knew that coming into this show, and Hangman wrestled on 94 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.079 the show tonight, but it was all about omegaan Andrade, 95 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.879 which is an interesting one because if you remember how 96 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.680 Andrede returned to the company a few months ago, he 97 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.720 attacked Kenny Omega. There was no retribution for it because 98 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.040 he had to immediately be pulled off the show because 99 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.680 he was still technically under contract to w w WEE 100 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.480 and then they got everything sorted out Andred came back. 101 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.199 There's been no mention of what happened back in October 102 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.879 on the anniversary show. There was nothing. At least we 103 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.879 were going to actually get some form of follow up 104 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.639 here a loose end right that was never tied up. 105 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.759 We were actually going to get a match here tonight 106 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.680 between the two of them, and the winner of that 107 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.639 match would wrestle Hangman in Australia. The winner of that 108 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.439 would then go on to challenge MJF or whoever the 109 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:51.399 champion is in Los Angeles in March at Revolutions, almost 110 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.279 like a little mini tournament sort of. So we got 111 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.279 that match tonight. We got the match, not the first 112 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.839 ever match they have wrestled once before, but we did 113 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.639 get the Kenny Omega Andrade match was very good, his 114 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.480 best thing on the entire show, and Hangman Page now 115 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.000 has an opponent for Australia. Now, if you would have 116 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.800 asked me before the show, who do I think is 117 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.879 going to be wrestling Hangman on that show, I would 118 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:24.000 have said Kenny Omega. I was surprised when I saw that. 119 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:29.360 Andrade has now gone back to back weeks beating former 120 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.240 aw World champions en route to getting the match with 121 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.879 Hangman in Australia. It will be Andrade who is doing 122 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.480 the best work that we have seen him as far 123 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.040 as his work on American television in either of the 124 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.639 two big promotions. Andrade right now is what I call 125 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.879 is in final form. He is in final form right now. 126 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.800 He looks I mean he's out there. Obviously physically he's 127 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.600 in the best shape of his life, but he's out there. 128 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.240 He's flirting with the ladies in the front row, He's 129 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.600 having these great matches. He is in his final form 130 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.800 right now, and he is actually one step closer now 131 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.759 to potentially getting a world championship match in the main 132 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.120 event of one of their biggest pay per views of 133 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.120 the year. That do I think he is actually going 134 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.639 to go to the main event of Revolution? I do not, 135 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.759 but I'm happy to see him in the top mix. 136 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.040 When they brought him back as a member of the 137 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.399 Don Kallis family, one of my fears was he's going 138 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.839 to end up being number four or five at best 139 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.839 in a faction of about seventeen. So how are we 140 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.959 supposed to believe that this time around? This run for 141 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.240 him is going to be any different than it was previously. Right, 142 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.399 they have to do something to really help him stand 143 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.079 out and break out of the pack. I am under 144 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.399 no illusions that this is going to last. This is 145 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.480 going to be some sort of long term thing where 146 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.199 you know, he's going to be a number one or 147 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.279 two in that group for the foreseeable future. But for 148 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.720 the time being at least, he's firmly embedded in that 149 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.480 top mix and it's coming at a time where he's 150 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.639 putting in his best work. So I don't know how 151 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.879 long this is going to last, but I've been enjoying it, 152 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.319 and he's been having some kick ass matches here on TV. 153 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.319 Why not one more? So we know we're going to 154 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.160 get him and Hangman in Australia, and not this weekend, 155 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:18.680 but the following weekend. We also learned that John Moxley, 156 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.319 speaking of Callus Family Members, is going to be putting 157 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.639 his Continental title on the line against Kenoski Takesha. That 158 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.279 is now official as well for Grand Slam Australia and 159 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.279 here I am just waiting for that rematch between Takeshta 160 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:41.080 and Okada. We better be getting that at Revolution. We 161 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.559 better be getting it. They're really they're they're taking their time, 162 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.799 they're really dragging this out. It was another wrestling heavy 163 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:53.639 show tonight, which was actually I have to say, it 164 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:58.639 was actually welcome after we had three fucking matches on 165 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.559 Raw Monday Night, coming off of a four match PLA. 166 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.519 We had three matches on Monday Night Raw, none of 167 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.759 which were particularly good. Tonight, I think we had seven matches, 168 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.039 so I was okay with getting an extra dose of 169 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.960 wrestling since we didn't on Monday Night. I just wish 170 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.399 again there was more in the way of compelling story 171 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.879 on this show. What they threaded throughout the show story wise, 172 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:29.480 involved Darby Allen being kidnapped by the war Dogs and 173 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.840 left for dead in the desert, and I was left 174 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:37.480 sitting here wondering, am I watching AW or am I 175 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:45.759 watching WCW. Didn't end too well for WCW. Let's talk 176 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.120 about this show. This is your AW Dynamite review. It 177 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:55.320 is Wednesday night, February fourth, twenty twenty six. I'm the 178 00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:00.080 Solemn Monster, like and subscribe. Super chats are open, we 179 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.240 get any new ones that pop up here on what 180 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.320 I am anticipating will be a quiet night after a 181 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.879 very busy weekend. I'll be reading your messages, so I'll 182 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.759 go ahead and get them on in now. And also, 183 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.440 of course we have to spin the wheel. We have 184 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:21.320 some business to transact here before we get into all 185 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.200 of this from Dynamite tonight. So we're gonna spin the 186 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.480 wheel find out how many likes we need here tonight 187 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.919 for our Be the Booker segment. Will we be doing 188 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:42.279 a Be the Booker four twenty A very interesting number, 189 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.679 four twenty, So that is the magic number. We are 190 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.000 almost halfway there. I don't know. I'm kind of fifty 191 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.720 to fifty oh whether or not we hit the goal tonight, 192 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.320 So you guys know what to do. Get to work. 193 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:07.039 That's your home assignments four twenty time everybody. I'll tell 194 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.519 you what I liked. When this show opened. We had 195 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.039 the old school Saturday Night's Main Events style of promos 196 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.759 that we have seen them use on Collision. They did 197 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.399 them on Dynamite today. They are those rapid fire promos. 198 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.879 They opened with MJF cutting a promo on brody King. 199 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.600 We got a promo then from brody King, we got 200 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.960 one from Kenny Omega. We had one from Don Kallis 201 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.639 who talked about all of the different Kallus family matches 202 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:34.639 that were on the show tonight, and Willow Nightingale and 203 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:39.080 Harley Cameron, Megan Bain, Penelope Ford. Everyone had a chance 204 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.639 to cut a little promo and talk and preview the 205 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.879 matches on the show. I would not mind this becoming 206 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.799 a more regular feature, not saying they have to do 207 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.200 it every week. I enjoy it. I hope they do 208 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.559 it not just on Collision, but they do it on Dynamite. 209 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.840 But they opened with a trios match with the Death Riders, 210 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:04.639 John Moxley, Pack Daniel Garcia against the Cat against Kyrie. 211 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.600 Did you see the video? By the way, I laugh 212 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.679 my I just left my ass off. They had these video. 213 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.720 Whoever came up with this idea deserves a raise. So 214 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.120 during the Rumble on Saturday, they were shooting video in 215 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.840 the back. Whenever people would be eliminated from the Rumble, 216 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.080 they would come backstage and there was like a golf 217 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.159 cart and they would get in the golf cart and 218 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.919 they would be driven wherever some other location in the back. 219 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.360 I guess, so Oscar and Kyrie are back there and 220 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.039 Oscar is in the golf cart. Kyrie is either in 221 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.080 the golf cart or trying to get in, and Osca 222 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.039 just boots her out of the golf cart and then 223 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.679 tells the driver to go, and she forces Kyrie to 224 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.480 run behind. She jogs behind the golf cart as Osca 225 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.919 and the driver they drive off, And I'm like, this 226 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:57.679 woman is She's just She's perfect. Osca is perfect. I 227 00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.679 don't know how anybody could hate this woman. And she's 228 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.279 a heel, but I don't know how anybody can hate 229 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.320 this woman. I'm actually gna be very upset and very 230 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.360 disappointed when they finally do the breakup between them. But 231 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:15.360 that was fantastic. So Moxley and Takeshta. Anyway, was the 232 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.440 Kallus family. Josh, Alexander, Kenoski, Takeshta and El Clone was 233 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.360 in action tonight. Moxley and Takeshta. They tagged in a 234 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.679 few minutes into this got a big reaction, started throwing 235 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.679 bombs until Alexander and Clone attacked from behind. Pack Gott 236 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.120 worked over during the commercial break coming back, he started 237 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.279 swinging at anything that moved. Moxley and Takasha. They tagged 238 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.320 back in. They kept up some forearms. Each man traded exploders. 239 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:47.840 Moxley stood tall, he sent Alexander outside and he caught 240 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.039 a diving Clone El. Clone got caught out of midair 241 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.320 with a cutter. Didn't we see that at the Royal Rumble? 242 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.799 I think we saw that with Javon Evans and Randy 243 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.360 Orton right he caught was it Evans? He caught flying 244 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.440 in he went for the og cutter, I think that's 245 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.960 what it was, and he got caught with an RKO. 246 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.879 I believe they tried a spot like that when they 247 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.919 wrestled in NXT. It didn't go very well, so I 248 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.559 guess that was their chance to redo what they could 249 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.240 not do the first time. But anyway, down goes El Clone. 250 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.759 Garcia made a blind tag. Moxley leveled Takeshta with the 251 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.399 King Kong Lariot. Garcia then sank in the Dragon Tamer 252 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:29.399 while Moxley hit a curb stump on Ta Keshta while 253 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.279 he was in the hold, and for some reason, Garcia 254 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.320 let go of the hold tried for a coover. Alexander 255 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.840 made the save, so the match broke down. At this point, 256 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:42.440 Clone took out Pack and we had Moxley then coming 257 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.559 out with the Tope. Suasida wiped him out. Garcia ran 258 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.600 right into a blue thunderbomb by Takeshta for a near fall. 259 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.639 Takesha went for a power drive knee, didn't work. He 260 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.080 got caught with a forearm, but he came back with 261 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.639 a bastard driver into the wheelbarrow released German and then 262 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.840 he hit the power drive knee and Garcia kicked out 263 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.679 and Takesha's like, fuck this, We're putting an end to this, 264 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.759 and finally he flattened him with a raging fire and 265 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:13.600 he got the win. We got some fun back and 266 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:17.480 forth here a different points of this match between Pack 267 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.919 and l Clone. I thought they were working very well together. 268 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.039 That was kind of fun to watch. But this was 269 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.840 about giving Takesha a win because they're prepping him for 270 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:27.679 a title match, you know. And they made it official 271 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.360 he is going to challenge John Moxley in Australia on 272 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.519 the fourteenth for the Continental title. So now we know 273 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.519 we have a date and we have a time and 274 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:42.320 a location for that match. They did something else here 275 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.519 yet it's a minor production thing, but I liked it. 276 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:46.519 I feel like they've done this before and then they 277 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.000 just got away from doing it. They put at the 278 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.120 end of this match, they put a timer a graphic 279 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.879 and a timer in the upper right hand corner, letting 280 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.320 us know that in forty minutes at the top of 281 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.240 the hour, we were going to get our match between 282 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.879 Kenny Omega and androde So letting you know, Okay, here's 283 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.600 exactly when you can tune in to see the big match. 284 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.240 And I like that. It's a small thing, but again 285 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.080 something I would like to see them start incorporating into 286 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:19.080 the shows more often. So Renee was backstage with Swerve, 287 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.600 Strickland and Prince Nana. Swerve didn't say a word. It 288 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.200 was all Nana here. He cut the promo, but she asked, uh, 289 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.080 where is your focus now? Where does your focus shift 290 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:35.840 to after the loss to Andrade last week? So Nana said, 291 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:38.559 our focus is right where it's always been. Just because 292 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:41.000 we lost one match doesn't mean that we're going anywhere. 293 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.960 Said Swerve. Did not say a word, as I mentioned 294 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.960 due throughout this entire promo. He just walked off when 295 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.200 it was over. Not the last we would see of 296 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.600 him on this show. We got a video package on 297 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:59.519 will Osprey showing various highlights of his from aw also 298 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:04.240 mentioning the next surgery, showing X rays of the screws 299 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.119 that are now surgically implanted in his neck. Ex Caliber 300 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.799 said the surgery was a success. We still have no 301 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.319 date though, no time frame as far as when he'll 302 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:17.119 be back. Take your time as long as it takes. 303 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.640 You don't want to mess around with the neck. I'm 304 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.920 sure he's probably itching to get back in time for 305 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.720 the Owen. He is gonna he's gonna be beside himself 306 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.640 if he can't be back in time for that Wembley 307 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.799 Stadium show. I'm sure he's doing everything in his power 308 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.559 to make sure that he is back in time to 309 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.279 be on that Wembley Stadium show. And I am sure 310 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.119 that if Tony Khan has his way, will Osbury will 311 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:41.400 win the Owen and he will be in the main event, 312 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:48.279 challenging probably MJF for the World Championship in London in August. 313 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.559 And all I'm all I'm saying is that's great as 314 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.279 long as he's one hundred percent. Like I just I 315 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.839 see these updates on like Cody of Boushie on social 316 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.279 and I know Bushi's madman, I mean, he's just out 317 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.039 of his mind, but I see these periodic updates from 318 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.599 him and like that horrendous injury that he sustained. But 319 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.039 he's talking about like the doctors are saying this, but 320 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.440 I'm going to be back in you know, half the time, 321 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.960 I'll yeah, I'll be back for mister Tony Kahan, and 322 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.000 I'm like, yeah, it's great. It's great to have goals, 323 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.519 but like, dude, don't rush back, you know, don't rush back. 324 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.359 Heal up. The world continues on without you. When you're 325 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.920 good and ready, we'll get you back. Feel the same 326 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.599 way about Osprey. He's too valuable for him to come 327 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.680 back prematurely from an injury like that. So in the 328 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.359 fact that they didn't give any sort of timeline, I 329 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.000 think kind of indicates they don't know when he'll be back. 330 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.920 But just because they had a video package here, some 331 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:44.680 people might look into that and say, oh, he must 332 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.839 be on his way back soon. No, they're just reminding 333 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.039 you don't forget about him, but it'll be a while 334 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:55.279 yet before we see him back. We had Orange Cassidy 335 00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:02.519 and Timeless Tony Storm against Jordan Oways and Britney Brooks. 336 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.240 This was now earlier today. Cassidy and Storm asked Tony 337 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.720 Khan to be a standby match because Tony Khan does 338 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.759 these live streams on social media. He's always got that 339 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.960 coffee cup. I wonder what is actually in the cup. 340 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.880 Is it coffee, is it water, is it something else? 341 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.240 I don't know, but he always has that cup in 342 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.319 his hand. But he's doing his little pre Dynamite live 343 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:36.480 stream on x Orange. Cassidy wandered in, Tony Storm wandered in, 344 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.359 and they want it to be the standby match, and 345 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.400 he said, well, if there's time, if certain matches you 346 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.119 go go under their time or whatever, we would love 347 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:51.799 to have you on the show in a standby match 348 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.799 here on Dynamite. So apparently time opened up not even 349 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.039 half an hour into the show, we got a standby match. 350 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.079 As they continue to misuse and abuse the concept of 351 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.400 the standby match, we got a standby match here. This 352 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:08.960 was very quick. I'm not going to get into what 353 00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:11.359 happened here, although I could, and it would still only 354 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:16.519 take me maybe twenty five seconds. Cassidy popped Jordan Oasis 355 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.200 with an orange punch and he won it for its team. 356 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.200 That's really that's all you need to know about the 357 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.039 match itself. After the match, though, Cassidy got on the 358 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:29.000 mic and he told Tony, He's like, I don't know 359 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.880 if I could do this. I don't know if I 360 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.359 can do this, and he is making reference to the 361 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:40.160 hair versus hair mixed tag team match that has been 362 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:45.079 signed for Grand Slam, Orange Cassidy and Tony Storm against 363 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:50.640 Wheeler Yuda, who just looks like a forest creature with 364 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:55.880 that hair, and Marina Shaffir. That match is efficient, but 365 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:58.119 now he's having doubts. He says, I like my hair, 366 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.759 and Tony takes the mic and she wonders, you know, 367 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.200 what was I thinking coming up with that stipulation. She 368 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:09.079 said that her hair is her livelihood, and without it, 369 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.359 she'll look like a boiled egg or an angry penis. 370 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.440 That's what she said. I don't know what an angry 371 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:22.599 penis looks. What exactly, what exactly does an angry penis 372 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.160 look like? I don't know. I'm generally a very happy guy. 373 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:34.359 I don't know. Tony's outfit was great, says Winston. Yeah, 374 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.599 she was wearing denim. She looked very good in the 375 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:44.359 in the denim, so she said. She looked at Luther, 376 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.599 who was bald, and then she just crumbled down to 377 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.200 her knees and Luther placed her her robe over her. 378 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.160 But then she rose up and she reminded everyone who 379 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.519 the hell they are. Two things in Australia will happen 380 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.400 or one of two things. Either Orange Cassidy is gonna 381 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:08.359 give Wheeler Dah a comb over, or she will make 382 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:14.119 Marina Shafir look like mocks, which is a scary thought. 383 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.880 There's a photo shop waiting to happen right there. Look, 384 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:21.680 I read this as it's one or the other. It's 385 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.039 not where if the babyfaces win, both heels get their 386 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.319 their head shape. I mean, maybe they do. My impression 387 00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.480 was that whoever gets the wind, the person who takes 388 00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.720 the losing fall will get their head shaved. So I'm 389 00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.400 assuming it's only one person. If it is only one person, 390 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.200 it's got to be Wheeler Dah. God knows the guy 391 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.920 needs a haircut. They'd be doing him a favor. So 392 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.279 I think we get bald Ydah in Australia. Bald Marina. 393 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:51.279 I mean, she can make it work, but I mean, 394 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.519 I'm just trying to visualize that, and I'm just I'm 395 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:57.920 having a tough time. I'm having a tough time here. 396 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.240 Hopefully it's just bald Yudah and then we can move 397 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:08.680 on from this earlier today. Now we get to the 398 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.039 criminal portion of this show. Earlier today, Darby Allen, he 399 00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:17.599 was skateboarding to the arena and he's in the lot. 400 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:19.599 You know, the production truck is there. Here he comes. 401 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.799
