WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.160 Tonight, Dynamite reached three hundred episodes. This was a landmark 2 00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.279 episode for Tony Kahan and it was not the go 3 00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.480 home show, but if it was, it actually would have 4 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.880 been a great final sell for that pay per view. Tonight, 5 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.239 we had a very good episode of Dynamite tonight, an 6 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.640 episode I enjoyed very much, and we had a return 7 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.519 to form of Kota Ibushi in the main event tonight, 8 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.440 first time in many years, one on one against Kazuchka Okada. 9 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.280 And indeed we had the return of Ibushi's very good friend, 10 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.560 his friend till the end, Kenny Omega, re emerging after 11 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.880 the violent assault by Okada several weeks ago that resulted 12 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.759 in GOB's blood being spilled on TV. He came out 13 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:49.600 to make the safe for his old buddy at the 14 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.520 end of the show tonight, So, of course, so we 15 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.719 had a golden lover's reunion here at the end of Dynamite. 16 00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.759 We also had Mercedes Monette defending the TBS Championship against 17 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.599 Mina Shirakawa. And look, maybe it's just me trying to 18 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.760 be the optimistic one here. I legitimately thought there was 19 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.439 a better than decent shot that we might get a 20 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.239 title change tonight and Tony Storm would have something to 21 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.079 do with it, and in fact, Tony Storm was at 22 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.439 ringside for that title match tonight. In fact, there was 23 00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.640 no title change, and we are in fact getting champion 24 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.879 against champion strictly for the aw Women's World title in 25 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.439 Texas in less than two weeks. Mercedes is walking in 26 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:33.640 as the champion. And maybe maybe I was the only 27 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.439 person in the world who thought there was a chance 28 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.159 of that tonight, and I feel like a fool now, 29 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.079 but they had a really good match though. They did 30 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.560 have a very good match Swerve and Osprey. They are 31 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.640 going to be paired up in Texas to take on 32 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.719 the Young Bucks, or at least that was the challenge 33 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.040 that they issued last week. We never actually got an 34 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.879 acceptance of that challenge from the Young Bucks. We did tonight, 35 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.120 but only after a Swerve an Osprey put something else 36 00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.840 on the line, which I was very happy to see 37 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:01.959 because I called that out last week. I said, there's 38 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.799 no way that this could end like this, because it 39 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.400 would be foolish for the Young Bucks to agree to 40 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.879 the stipulation that Osprey and Swore have asked for without 41 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.280 getting something in return. And so tonight we found out 42 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.599 what that's going to be there. The stakes have been 43 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.199 upped in the match between those two teams and MJF 44 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.159 on this show tonight, trying to qualify for the number 45 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.719 two spot in the Men's Casino Gauntlet match coming up 46 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.319 at all in. The winner, of course, will get a 47 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.159 guaranteed future World Championship match. Mark Briscoe qualified last week 48 00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.840 to enter a number one. You want to enter early. 49 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.240 It's not like the Royal Rumble. It's the exact opposite 50 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.800 in fact, because the Gauntlet could end at any moment. 51 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.039 It could literally end in the first five minutes of 52 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.599 the match, so you want to get in as early 53 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.240 as you can. That's the advantage that Mark Briscoe has. 54 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.479 MJF was trying to be number two tonight. Everything on 55 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.479 this show all fed into and that's not even everything, 56 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.960 but everything on this show fed into the all in card, 57 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.879 which is rapidly approaching. I don't know what the last 58 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.800 count was as far as the attendants, right around twenty 59 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.960 thousand in that range. I'm sure they'll be above that 60 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.199 by showtime, maybe closer to twenty five. But this is 61 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:14.960 not only their big show of the summer. This is 62 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.479 their biggest show of the year of the year. The 63 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.039 only reason they didn't go back to Wembley Stadium this year, 64 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.039 according to Tony Kahn, is because Coldplay had a concert 65 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.599 and they weren't able to run Wembley this year, so 66 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.759 they decided to have their first all in on US soil. 67 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.159 But they're going back to Wembley next year. This is 68 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.719 their big annual show. Everything is building to this show 69 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.439 and the other thing as well. The most important thing 70 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.599 I didn't mention is the fact that we have a 71 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.840 main event of John Moxley defending the aw World title 72 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.159 against Hangman Adam Page. And on this show we had 73 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.759 a stipulation so that main event now will not just 74 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.039 be a traditional one on one match, It will be 75 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.680 a Texas Deathbatch and they will be in Texas. We've 76 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.240 had Texas death matches that are not in Texas never 77 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.159 really made too much sense to me. It's like having 78 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.960 a New York City street fight in California. That would 79 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.919 be pretty dumb. But we're gonna get a Texas deathmatch 80 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.039 in Texas and the world title will be on the line. 81 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.000 So on the whole I had fun with this show. 82 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.000 I thought this was a very good episode of Dynamite, 83 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.519 the best that I've seen out of them in quite 84 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:26.279 some time. This is your Dynamite three hundred review for 85 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.560 July second, two thy and twenty five. I am the 86 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.439 solemn Monster, and look, I would be remiss if I 87 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:39.560 did not mention the other significant aspect of today. It's 88 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:44.040 not just Wednesday. It's not just Dynamite three hundred. Maybe 89 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.800 you could tell from the shirt that I'm wearing where 90 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:50.160 I'm going with this. Today is also the sixty eighth 91 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.279 birthday of the best there is, the best there was, 92 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.600 and the best that there ever will be. Yes, indeed, 93 00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.759 the one and only, and I have him here with 94 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.879 me tonight, ladies and gentlemen, you're getting him as an 95 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.879 exclusive here on the sound off Brett the Hitman Heart. 96 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.160 Here he is in all of his wonderful eight bit 97 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.680 sprite glory. You know, he wasn't in wrestle Fest when 98 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.560 wrestle Fest came out all those years ago, but he 99 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:18.920 should have been, and if he had been, this is 100 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.439 what he would look like here. This was a gift 101 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.639 I got a few years ago from one of my listeners. 102 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.360 Shout out to Andrew wherever he may be. But the 103 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.800 hit Man I figured, you know, on his birthday he 104 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.199 would make a cameo appearance here on the stream, and 105 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.079 so here he is. He's actually quite He's actually quite tall. 106 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.680 This thing actually is quite tall. But no one of 107 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.240 the cooler gifts that I have gotten. I believe they 108 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.120 call these pearler beads. I think is what they're called. 109 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.839 It's actually pretty amazing how these are made. I don't know. 110 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.800 I mean, I certainly don't have the talent to do 111 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.639 something like this. But anyway, shout out to to Andrew 112 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.519 againbes Happy birthday to Brett Hart. Did you know I 113 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.360 didn't know this until a few years ago. How I 114 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.040 didn't know this until like three or four years ago, 115 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.120 I'll never know. But did you know that Brett Hart's 116 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:12.240 middle name is sergeant? I mean, he calls himself hitman, 117 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.120 but his middle name is sergeant, which is a much 118 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.160 cooler middle name than I have or anybody I know. 119 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.199 So I was blown away when I first found out 120 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.560 about that. But if you don't know the story, it 121 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.319 makes it even better. Many years ago Brett Brett was 122 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.079 on social media, but he was on Facebook, and then 123 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.680 he finally joined Twitter. I would imagine his kids probably 124 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:44.399 got him to join Twitter, and this was around twenty eleven. 125 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.519 Right now, his handle on Twitter is at Brett Hart, 126 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.279 which makes sense, right, that's the best handle for him, 127 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.800 But that was not his original handle on Twitter. His 128 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:03.680 original handle on Twitter was Hitman Brett S Heart s 129 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.759 of course being for his middle name. Unfortunately, and what 130 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:09.680 they did not realize at the time is that when 131 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.240 you read it, it read as Hitman Brett Shart. So 132 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.040 obviously Brett I'm sure was not aware of this, and 133 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.800 Brett Hart had a handle on Twitter that said Brett Shart. 134 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.240 And thankfully that did not last very long. That was 135 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.079 quickly corrected and we ended up with at Brett Heart. 136 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.639 But yes, for a brief period of time, we have 137 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.839 Brett Shart at Hitman Brett Shart on Twitter. And if 138 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.079 you didn't know, now you know. But anyway, happy birthday 139 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:47.439 to to the hit Man. Yeah, sergeant Hart, and it 140 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.920 is Sergeant Hart. You know. I was actually I almost 141 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:57.000 had the chance to host a Bretteart Q and A 142 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.120 at one of these comic con type events. This was 143 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.079 months ago and it was going to be taking place 144 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.519 this summer. I was very excited for it, and unfortunately 145 00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.079 it fell through. So you know it ended up not happening, 146 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.000 as very upset about it, but that would have been 147 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.920 a very cool thing, you know, to be able to 148 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.560 sit down with Bratt and ask him a bunch of 149 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.519 questions and maybe field questions from other people. That would 150 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:23.240 have been a cool experience, and that would have taken 151 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.160 place later on this summer. It's not going to happen. 152 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.639 But again, today is Brett's sixty eighth birthday. I just 153 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.120 wanted to take Aim Bomeman here to acknowledge this should 154 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.000 be a national holiday and wish Brett not only a 155 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.360 great sixty eighth birthday, but I think we would all 156 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:43.039 agree here's to many more birthdays to come. Hopefully he's 157 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.840 been through a lot, He's lost a lot of friends, 158 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.360 he's lost a lot of contemporaries, and hopefully he will 159 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.720 enjoy many more birthdays to come. I also have to 160 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.120 give a shout out to somebody else who I believe 161 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.919 is with us here in the chat. Tonight's shout out 162 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.159 to our friend Steve for his assistance with that wonderful 163 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.720 thumbnail for tonight's stream. I love it. One of my 164 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.320 all time favorites, I you know, so let's just give 165 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.679 Steve a good sound of salute. I woke up this morning, 166 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.360 I just I don't know, I don't know what made 167 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.679 me think of it, but I said, okay, we got 168 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.320 Dynamite three hundred tonight, and I just instantly thought of 169 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.360 the movie, even though it's twenty years old almost, And 170 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.039 I thought of the movie, and I said, you know, 171 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:29.960 I have an idea for what I want. I know 172 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.039 a guy. Let me go to the guy and I 173 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.919 went to him and this is what he came up with, 174 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.600 and so it turned out great. So Steve, thank you. 175 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.440 Tony Kahan as King Leonidas. There you go. You see 176 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.039 him in the corner there, look at him. He's never 177 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.600 looked tougher than he does there in that image King 178 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:52.600 Khan by King Kong. We have King Khan in the corner, 179 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.080 like and subscribe. Super chats are open. We had a 180 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.440 couple of bombs dropped on us here before I even 181 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:01.440 went live, so I want to give an early shout 182 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:06.919 out here to Avelli Fire Panda. I appreciate your support 183 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.480 very much. Also wanted to oh, I should mention this. 184 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.919 It's pinned in the live chat. There are two new 185 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.600 super chats and again you can find all the special 186 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.279 amounts down below. There was a new forty dollars one 187 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.759 that is now the new thirty five dollars one, and 188 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.240 I have replaced it with a brand new forty dollars one, 189 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.240 and this one is for the Sikos. So anyway, there's 190 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.960 a couple of new ones there for you to play 191 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.080 around with if you so choose. I also wanted to 192 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.080 make mention of this because we made the announcement earlier 193 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.240 this evening. He was not on the show tonight. He 194 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.039 was not on Dynamite three hundred. But Ricochet is going 195 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.879 to be making his return to House of Glory, the 196 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.519 first ever House of Glory World Heavyweight champion from many 197 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:57.080 many years ago is returning to Hog for the first 198 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:01.600 time in eight years. It is High Intensity, our biggest 199 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.759 show of the year that is coming up the night 200 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.879 before SummerSlam, Friday night, August first. Tickets are on sale 201 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.320 right now at Hog Wrestling dot net. So how about 202 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.720 that Ricochet. Maybe he'll do that funny noise when he comes. 203 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.840 We'll see, never know, I never know who he may 204 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:25.879 be facing. But let's talk about this Dynamite show tonight, 205 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.919 because there was a lot again that had to do 206 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.919 with pushing the key matches at all In, which is 207 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.360 exactly what it should have been, and that's what we 208 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.440 had up and down the card tonight, But it started 209 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.000 with the number one contender for the AW World Heavyweight Championship, 210 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:46.000 a very angry, very pissed off hangman Adam Page stormed 211 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.519 down to the ring in a very bad mood after 212 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:54.120 the way that Dynamite ended last week. He said he'd 213 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.039 sold us already how much this means to him. He's 214 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.000 already told us, you know how he would ride through 215 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.039 death for this. He said that he would free the 216 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.600 AW World title from that briefcase at all In, and 217 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.480 that is a vow that he intends to keep with 218 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:14.840 his life. He says. Bro it's not that serious, It's 219 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.679 really not. But he takes this very seriously. So Moxley 220 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.879 can tie him up and bloody him, but it will 221 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.519 not be enough. They can wrap a chane around his 222 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.559 neck and hang him from the sky, but they would 223 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:29.360 have to kill him before he lets this chance pass 224 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.519 him by. And if they think that he is going 225 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.759 to let the Elite or the Death Rider's involvement cost 226 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.000 him this thing, you're a dumbass, he says, Because it 227 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.399 all in like all of John Moxley's matches, he knows 228 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.600 they are coming, so he will welcome them. He says, 229 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:49.440 give me the elite, give me all of the death riders, 230 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.000 John Moxley, you give me everything, or you give me death, 231 00:12:55.200 --> 00:13:00.279 and you make this a Texas death match. So that 232 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.000 brought out John Moxley and Marina Shaffir through the crowd. 233 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.200 Moxley got into the ring by himself. He rejected Hangman's 234 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.360 proposal for a Texas death match, says, you don't want that. 235 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.440 He said, you don't want that. You think that you do, 236 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.679 but you don't. Hangman doesn't want to wake up on 237 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.399 Sunday morning with the title and all that comes with it. 238 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.240 Moxley says, he lives in pressure. And as he's talking, 239 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.200 we got chance of shut the fuck up from the 240 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.840 crowd and me. People call themselves the best wrestler in 241 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:36.600 the world. That's basic bit shit. Ooh, I'll get some 242 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:41.320 people talking. He's much more than that, though, and he 243 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.960 will show the entire world on July twelfth that all 244 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.840 in exactly who he is and what a world champion 245 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.919 looks like. Hangman doesn't have He doesn't have it inside 246 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.759 of him. What it takes to beat him for the 247 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.159 title or what it takes for a Texas death match 248 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.240 with him, It's not something that he would survive or 249 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.639 walk away from. So Hangman smacked him, and Moxley came 250 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.600 back with the double leg took him down, but Hangman 251 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.519 mounted him, and then he pulled a fork out of 252 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.000 his jacket pocket and he started to threaten him with it, 253 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.000 and he started yelling at Moxley to give him what 254 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:17.919 he wants, like he was Dave Batista out here. Wheeler 255 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.759 Dash showed up and Hangman knocked him down. Then Marina 256 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.679 Shafir got in the ring and she slapped Hangman across 257 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.879 the face, and then she slapped him again and then 258 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:29.320 again and then multiple times, and he stood there and 259 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.080 he was just staring at her until da I think 260 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.600 he did an ankle pick where he was holding onto 261 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.399 the ankle. Claudio Castignoli hits the ring and he attacks 262 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.919 from behind, so they put the boots to Hangman. Then 263 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.320 he laid out Hangman with a neutralizer and he left 264 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:49.519 the ring with udah. Hangman crawled to the mic and 265 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.840 he got back to his feet and he asked, is 266 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.279 that all you got? Because he's still standing bitch and 267 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.919 a pissed off Claudio goes to walk back because Claudio 268 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.000 is already in the crowd. He's like, oh, fuck this guy. 269 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.519 He goes to walk back to the ring, but Samoa 270 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:08.519 Joe is now standing ringside. Powerhouse Hobbs, Kattiori Shabata enter 271 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:12.720 from the crowd, so now Claudio and Youda they back off. 272 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:17.039 Marina Shafir appears behind Hangman as she tries to blast 273 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.679 him with the briefcase, but he blocks it and he 274 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.639 gets the case away from her. He wrestles it away 275 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.440 from her and Page screams that I've got something you 276 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.399 want Moxley, and he demands Texas Death. He's screaming, give 277 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.879 me Texas Death, Moxley in the crowd. He turns back 278 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.480 to go grab the microphone and he says, you want it, 279 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:41.279 you got it, Texas Death. And then later on we 280 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.879 found out that Tony Kahan made it official, as he 281 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.799 usually does. Immediately after these segments, Hangman tosses the briefcase 282 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.279 back to Shafir that he goes to leave and he 283 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.399 makes it as far as the apron, but then he 284 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.879 stops and he said, if Moxley needs a reminder, that 285 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.080 he's willing to do whatever it takes, and then he 286 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.799 springboarded into the ring and he lays out Marina Shaffir 287 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.399 with a Buckshot lariat. And these people, they were in Ontario, 288 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:15.559 California tonight. These people went crazy for that Buckshot spot 289 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.080 and the death Riders all had these shocked looks and 290 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.600 expressions on their faces as they played Hangman's music and 291 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.480 the segment drew to a close. This was a great segment, Moxley. 292 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.399 I do have to say, you know, Moxley is saying 293 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:30.759 that Hangman doesn't want him in a Texas Death match 294 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.840 because it's something he wouldn't survive. You know, I raised 295 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:39.000 my eyebrows as I was listening to this. Not only 296 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:43.919 has Hangman been in multiple Texas Death matches before, but 297 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.440 you may not have noticed that four days ago, literally 298 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:53.519 four days ago, aw posted the full Texas deathmatch from 299 00:16:53.799 --> 00:17:00.000 Revolution two years ago between Hangman Page and John Mockery, 300 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.639 which is a match that Hangman won, by the way. 301 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.440 So not only has Hagman had Texas Death matches before, 302 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.920 he's had one against John Moxley and he's beaten him. 303 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:13.759 And I don't know if that should scare me or 304 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.400 not the fact that he's already beaten him in a 305 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.839 Texas Death match. If I don't know if that bodes 306 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.079 well for his chances of doing it again. But it 307 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.960 was kind of silly for Moxley to say that, and 308 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.000 even Hangman pointed out on the microphone. He goes, you know, 309 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.200 you're just a liar, although he didn't mention that the 310 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.839 two of them that had one of these before. But 311 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.440 I like the addition of Texas Death it's basically their 312 00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.839 bloodline rules. What they're doing is they're telling you in advance, Look, 313 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.480 you guys already know that the Death Riders are going 314 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.720 to get involved, and the Elite's going to get involved. 315 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.839 Everybody is going to get involved. Darby Allen's probably going 316 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:49.880 to show up and get involved, Swerve and Hangman might 317 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:54.240 get or Swerve in Osprey might get involved. The ops 318 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.279 will probably show up. You know, it's again, it's going 319 00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.880 to be their wrestle Mania of forty and so instead 320 00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:02.720 of of pretending like that's not going to happen here, 321 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.799 they're coming right out and saying, look, we already know 322 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.160 that this shit's going down, so let's just make it 323 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.960 textas death. Basically, no holds barred. Anything goes, Bring everybody 324 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.039 you got, I'll take them all on. It'll be Hangman 325 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.960 against the world. And obviously Hangman has some friends, you know, 326 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.240 who are going to watch his back. So I like 327 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.039 that they just came right out and said, look, let's 328 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.839 just make it Texas Death and it's just gonna be 329 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.200 crazy and overbooked and hopefully it'll end up being a 330 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.279 lot of fun, like WrestleMania was last year, not this year. 331 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.119 But I like that. I like the addition of that stipulation, 332 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.519 the buckshot to Marina Shaffir. It popped the crowd huge. 333 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.240 You know, after all the times that she's gotten involved 334 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:46.119 and she's attacked people, and she was involved in Anarchy 335 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:47.839 and the Arenas, so I mean, she was mixed up 336 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.359 in there, her and Willow with the guys. So it's 337 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.079 not as if she hasn't gotten in there before and 338 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.920 taken bumps, you know, with some of these people. But 339 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.759 just seeing her get that buck shot, I'm a little surprised. 340 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.079 Maybe they didn't save it for the pay per view, 341 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.640 but they knew what they were doing when they used 342 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:07.559 it on the show tonight because it got a huge reaction. 343 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.680 So this is a great segment, we had Mercedes Monette 344 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:21.839 against Mina Sheirakaua. This was for the AWTBS Championship. Timeless 345 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.240 Tony Storm came out to the ring with Luther not 346 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.920 to do commentary, which is too bad because she's usually 347 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.519 very entertaining at it. But she came down to the 348 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.559 ring to sit ringside and observe and watch the match. 349 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.119 And in front of her she actually had a table 350 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.839 like Mercedes did many weeks ago. She had a steak dinner. 351 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.559 There was a cake sitting on the table as well, 352 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.839 but she just sat there. She was catatonic basically for 353 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:53.319 the entire match. She wasn't I mean expressive in any way. 354 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.000 She wasn't talking to anybody. It didn't even look like 355 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:58.559 she was really paying attention to the match. She had 356 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.160 this look on her face like she is concern but 357 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:05.079 basically in like a trance, and she just sat there 358 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:10.559 the entire time. Mercedes had photos of Tony Storm taped 359 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.839 to the bottom of each of her boots and she 360 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.359 was kicking away at Mina. Before she ripped the photos 361 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.839 of she peeled him off. Monette sent Mina to the 362 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.839 floor and then she started writhing around on the match. 363 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.240 She was mocking Tony Storm, who's done that before? And again? 364 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.759 She was still sitting motionless at ringside. During the commercial, 365 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.160 Mina trapped Mercedes in a figure four around the ring post. 366 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:35.759 You know who would be proud of that? This guy 367 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:39.599 right here, first guy I ever saw do that. Spot. 368 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.200 This guy right here, he likes that figure four around 369 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:46.359 the post spot, don't you? Yeah, you do. We'll bring 370 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.799 him back for the super chest. Later. Mercedes battled back 371 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.039 and applied the statement maker, but she wasn't able to 372 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.680 hold on for very long. Mina got her trapped in 373 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.960 the figure four again. So Mina managed to spinning head 374 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.720 scissors off the apron and a torn DDT off the steps. 375 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.559 Mercedes that overturned the favor with a spin kick and 376 00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:07.720 a meteora off the apron. Back inside, we got a 377 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.039 forearm battle until Mercedes tried a sunset flip and she 378 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:16.319 rolled through into another meteora, her favorite move. There was 379 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.720 a clunky sunset bomb spot into the corner, followed by 380 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:27.319 another meteora for a near fall. There was a fifth mediora. Yes, 381 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:29.319 I was keeping track of this. There was a fifth 382 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.119 meteora that appeared to connect, but Mina rolled through and 383 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:38.240 slammed Mercedes injured leg down with a dragon screw before 384 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.400 going back to the figure four. Mercedes managed a rope 385 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.240 break got one finger on the rope. That's all it takes. 386 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.799 Mina called for the glamorous Driver, but Monet rolled through, 387 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.160 tried a Monet maker. Mina, though, countered into some rolling 388 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.559 elbows and a buzzsaw kick that caught Mercedes flush on 389 00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:58.960 the side of the head. Spinning backfist connects and Mina 390 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.519 followed that with a glamor driver, but Monette barely got 391 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:05.319 the shoulder up, so Mina went for it again, but 392 00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.920 Monette had a backstabber. Mina no sold it and hit 393 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.319 a sliding kick, but Monette kicked out of one. Mercedes 394 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:16.400 connected on a tombstone lung blower. Mina though kicked out, 395 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.480 so they traded finish her attempts. Mina again tried for 396 00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.279 the figure four, only this time Mercedes rolled her up 397 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.279 with a cradle for the flash pin. This was a 398 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.799 very good match with a very abrupt finish that felt 399 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.960 like it came out of nowhere. A slightly disappointing one 400 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:34.920 because I thought Mina had a real chance to win 401 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:39.160
