WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.080 Aw was out of Philly and they were actually in 2 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.480 Canada tonight get an early start on it because they're 3 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:08.039 going to be in Toronto for all out this weekend. 4 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.359 Tonight they were in London, Ontario to be exact, so 5 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.760 ends the residency in Philadelphia. Thank god, you know. I 6 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.760 enjoyed that. But after three weeks it was time to 7 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.920 get out. So we've had about nine hundred people for 8 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.399 the last three weeks. It was nice to see more 9 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.440 people in the building tonight. I think they had somewhere 10 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.160 around thirty four hundred, so that was a welcome change 11 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:35.719 tonight for a three hour block, they had one hour 12 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.479 of Collision tacked on to the end of Dynamite, and 13 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.799 Tony Kahan called it September to Remember because this is 14 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.280 ECW month. We have September to remember and then this 15 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.840 weekend we have Russell Palooza. What other names can we 16 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.600 revive from the past? So actually, what longer than three hours? 17 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.759 We had an overrun, so technically this was longer than 18 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.359 a three hour show, and I promise you this will 19 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.479 not be a show that is remembered even three weeks 20 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.000 from now, but as one last hard sell for the 21 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.879 pay per view coming up this weekend. I thought they 22 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.079 did a solid job. The talking segments stood out to 23 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.439 me more than anything else. We know Kyle Fletcher is 24 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.560 going to end up being a warm body for Hangman 25 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.599 Page to work with this weekend. We know what the 26 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.319 score is as far as that championship match is considered. Yeah, 27 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.959 I meane the comment on TNT the other night, it 28 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.359 kind of reminds me of the Survivor Series in nineteen 29 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.879 ninety two where we had a world Championship match with 30 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.599 Brett Hart defending his title against the intercontinental champion he 31 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.439 had just won the title. It was Brett Hart and 32 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.319 Sewn Michaels, and I'm sure at that time most people 33 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.599 watching also probably figure, ain't no way this guy's winning 34 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.359 the world title, And funny enough, I still feel that 35 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.359 was probably the best match those two ever had, just 36 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.959 in terms of just a one on one iron Man 37 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.400 the Iron Man match. Of course, you knew it was 38 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.560 going to be sixty minutes going in, and so those 39 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.719 long swaths of nothing happening, I'm partial anyway to that 40 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.039 first Survivor Series match. So that's basically the situation that 41 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.120 we have here, Champion against champion. Only one title is 42 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.240 on the line, and I don't think there are very 43 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.080 many people out there expecting a title change this weekend. 44 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.240 For Kyle Fletcher, obviously, it's a huge spot for him 45 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.120 to be in. I don't know if this match is 46 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.280 actually going to close the show on Saturday. I don't 47 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.560 know if this will be the main event or if 48 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.639 they're going to have maybe Coping Christian. You know we're 49 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.680 going to main event against FTR. I don't know what 50 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.719 the show closing match is going to be, but this 51 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.240 is certainly being positioned as the main event. And even 52 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.120 in defeat, if he goes in there and has a 53 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:52.520 competitive thirty minute match, twenty five minute match with Hangman Page, 54 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.280 he can come out of it stronger than he was 55 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.159 going into it. But the key is always in the 56 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.240 follow up and what you do with him coming out 57 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.960 or what people you have him working with coming out 58 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.159 of it. What kind of TNT title matches do we 59 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.719 see from Kyle Fletcher coming out of it. Kyle Fletcher 60 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.639 has a ready made program with Kenny Omega waiting for 61 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.719 him when Kenny is ready to come back. So no 62 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.879 matter what happens on Saturday, and he will lose, But 63 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.759 no matter what happens on Saturday. He at least has 64 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.159 that as well. That's another big name for him to 65 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.479 work with. This has been a good year for Kyle Fletcher. 66 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.080 It hasn't been a good year for everybody, it's been 67 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.520 a good year for Kyle Fletcher. So for him, this 68 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.199 is a very big spot coming up on Saturday tonight. 69 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.039 They sort of built the show around him and Hangman 70 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:40.960 kind of. I mean they opened the show with them 71 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.759 and then they close with an angle that led to 72 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.680 Fletcher's standing tall, which is good because he will not 73 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.800 be standing tall come Saturday. John Moxley and Darby Allen, 74 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.000 this is a feud that has been carrying over from 75 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.879 twenty twenty four and they had to put it on 76 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.960 the back burner for a while. It's stalled out because 77 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.240 Darby wanted to go climb Mount Everest and that took 78 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.479 him off television for many, many months. So a match 79 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.680 that we should have gotten a long time ago, we're 80 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.240 finally getting a one on one here on this show 81 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.319 this weekend, and we know that's one of the central 82 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.120 stories going into All Out, one of these central matches 83 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.639 going into All Out, especially being in Toronto, copin Christian 84 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.680 they already did the reunion. We already saw that at 85 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.240 Forbidden Door. This is not about their first match back 86 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.319 together in thirteen or fourteen years. It's their first match 87 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.959 in Canada. It's their first match in Toronto together in 88 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.759 twenty years, and they're going to be taking on FTR tonight. 89 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.759 This was a much better segment than what we got 90 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.680 with FTR last week. Whatever the hell that was, it 91 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.079 was no good. What we got on this show was 92 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.720 much better. This was more like it. This was their 93 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.480 final bit of hype before the big tag team match 94 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.800 coming up this weekend. Honestly, that segment that we got, 95 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.920 that final face off between the two teams tonight, was 96 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.000 one of the highlights of this episode of Dynamite, and 97 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.199 I am looking forward to that match. I'm sure it's 98 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.480 going to be an excellent tag team match, so I'm 99 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.480 looking forward to that. We had qualifying matches up and 100 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.480 down the car tonight, which at least added a little 101 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.519 bit of importance to many of the matches on the 102 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.800 show because they did have implications for who's moving on 103 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.639 to the pay per view on Saturday. In fact, we 104 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.600 had three qualifying matches for the Tag Team Championship Ladder match. 105 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.879 That field is now set. We know who Brody Kingdom 106 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.240 Bendito will be defending their titles against. We had a 107 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.639 final qualifier for the triple Threat match for the Unified Championship. 108 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.160 We already knew Okada was in, Takeshta was in. It 109 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.720 was either going to be Beast Mortos or Masca or Derata. Basically, 110 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.879 what that match was tonight was to decide who is 111 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.279 taking the losing fall on Saturday, who is eating the 112 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.759 pin in the Unified title match on Saturday. Now we know, 113 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.000 Now we have our answer. So we had four qualifying 114 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.600 matches tonight. All I should point out all throughout the night, 115 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.800 this is the first aw pay per view that is 116 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.560 being offered live via HBO Max. This has been something 117 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.120 that's been in the works for almost a year now 118 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.680 it's finally happening. All throughout the night, at various points, 119 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.519 ex Caliber on commentary was pushing HBO Max watching the 120 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.480 show on HBO Max for what he said was the 121 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.600 exclusive subscriber price, and at no point did he verbally 122 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:41.920 announce what the subscriber price was. But if you look 123 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.680 real close in the graphic, in the little teeny tiny 124 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.399 fine print, they told you how much it's gonna be, 125 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.079 because we already know how much it's gonna be. It's 126 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.759 gonna be thirty nine to ninety nine. But it was 127 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.720 just funny for all the number of times that he 128 00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.439 brought it up here on the show, he never actually 129 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.639 told you what the price was going to be. And 130 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.959 as I said on the sound Duff last weekend, if 131 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.839 you are someone who has HBO Max and you use 132 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.639 it to watch Dynamite and Collision and maybe even some 133 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.759 other stuff as well, plus they got the library up 134 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.480 there for you, it's probably worth it as far as 135 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.959 ordering it through HBO Max, because yes, for you, it's 136 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.160 more of a discount than it would be for somebody 137 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.160 who maybe doesn't have an HBO Max subscription. If you 138 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.319 don't watch Dynamite on Max, and maybe you don't use 139 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.759 Max for other sports or other programming that they have, 140 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.439 it's not much of a discount. In fact, it's not 141 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.959 a discount at all. So you may you probably would 142 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:40.839 be better off sticking to wherever else you watch the 143 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.680 aw pay perviews, But if you are going to make 144 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.480 use of the Max service, then for you it would 145 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.839 be more of a discount. So it's just one more 146 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.480 place for you to order the pay per view. You 147 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.879 go on the AW website. I tht if it's on 148 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.800 the events page. Whatever it is. They have all the 149 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.399 different graphics you know, for all the different plats forms 150 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.439 the show is offered on. Those don't magically go away. 151 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.720 So however you choose to watch the show, just remember 152 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.199 it was bumped up, so instead of eight pm Eastern, 153 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.240 it's three pm Eastern. Is going to be a very 154 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:20.879 busy weekend of wrestling this Saturday and podcasting including a 155 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.920 sound duff on Sunday. But that's Sunday.

Nothing else to really stay 186 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.799 about it. It sucks. Everyone goes through it at some point, 187 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.399 but we're thinking about you wherever you may be. So 188 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.519 let's get into this show here tonight. We got three 189 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.679 hours worth of dynamite to get through here, so we 190 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.320 may as well not waste any time. I should point 191 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.799 out ex Caliber, Taz and Brian Danielson. We're the announced 192 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.759 team again this week. He was on the call. This 193 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.320 was week two for Brian. I felt this way last week, 194 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.000 felt the same way tonight. He's very good in the role. 195 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.360 It was the smart move to move Shavanni out of 196 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.399 that spot and put Brandon of Brandon. I'm looking at 197 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.679 the chat and put Brian in there because just the 198 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.000 way he breaks things down and obviously the perspective that 199 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.759 he brings, he's very good. He's very good at the 200 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.720 analyst role. So I'm glad that he has assimilated so 201 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.000 quickly into the announced team here. But I also need 202 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.960 to point out, speaking of Brian Danielson, I should throw 203 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.879 this up here. I got hit with this earlier. You know, 204 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.639 Max is only twenty years too late here, Like I 205 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.159 haven't heard this before, but yes, I was getting those 206 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:25.559 baby dragon comments every time I used to walk into 207 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.480 the Manhattan Center for one of those early Ring of 208 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.799 Honor shows, But it was twenty years ago today. Shout 209 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.360 out to timeless Dexter here for the reminder on Twitter 210 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.960 twenty years ago today that Brian Danielson won his first 211 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.799 Ring of Honor World championship. He was the champion when 212 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.320 I started watching Ring of Honor, when I started going 213 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.879 to those live shows, he was the champion, and I 214 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.759 was there, in fact the night that he dropped it. 215 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.919 It was god how how many days was he champion for? 216 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.639 Probably close to five hundred, and when he dropped that 217 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:05.759 championship at Final Battle in two thousand and six to Homicide. 218 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.600 I was in the building that night. It was like 219 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.159 a big celebration when Homicide finally won the title. That's 220 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.120 old school right there, at his old school Ring of Honor. 221 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.080 Tony Shavani may not have been on commentary for the 222 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.200 beginning of the show, although he did join later on, 223 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.039 but he was in the ring to bring out the Hangman, 224 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:29.120 the World Champion Hangman Adam Page and Kyle Fletcher for 225 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.399 the contract signing for their aw World title match coming up. 226 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.919 It all out. Don Kallus was out with Fletcher even 227 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.240 though the Kallous family will not be allowed at ringside 228 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.600 on Saturday at the pay per view, they are not 229 00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.159 allowed to get involved in this match. That is what 230 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:54.720 they established last week, no Callous Family interference. Callous told 231 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.759 Hangman he remembers when he took the aw world title 232 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:05.799 from Hangman, or rather from him with that old weakling there. 233 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.799 He said, Kenny Omega, I'm getting Hangman and Kenny mixed 234 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.960 up here, but if you remember, Kenny had Callous with 235 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:16.679 him when he took the championship, so he reminded him 236 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.159 of that run that they were on. There's nothing Page 237 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.720 can do though to a stud athlete like Kyle Fletcher. 238 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.679 So he talked about how Saturday the title is coming 239 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.879 to the Callous family. Hangman said. The stipulation is not 240 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.360 to keep half the roster from interfering here in this match, 241 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.919 as they have been doing, continuing to get involved in 242 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.840 all of these world title matches. It's so that one 243 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.480 day Fletcher can look back and realize that he could 244 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:48.320 win this on his own. Said, if Fletcher reads the contract, 245 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.360 he'll see that if Don or any member of the 246 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.799 Don Callus family get involved, not only will Kyle Fletcher 247 00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:01.840 be disqualified, but he will be stripped of his TNT championship. 248 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.519 The TNT title is not even on the line in 249 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:07.720 the match on Saturday, but that is the consequence for 250 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.759 any member of the Callous family getting involved. Not only 251 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.320 does he lose the match by DQ, he loses the 252 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.679 one championship that he already has. And I like that. 253 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.440 I actually like the addition of that. I like them 254 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:24.000 putting that out there, because all we had last week 255 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.399 was the word of one heel, someone who we know 256 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.000 is not to be trusted. So it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, 257 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.080 no one from the Kallous family will get involved. But 258 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.799 how do you put that in writing, Like, how do 259 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:41.080 you make that enforceable? How do you make that rock solid? Right? 260 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.600 This is the way to do that. So you throw 261 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.600 that out there and say, well, if you go back 262 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.039 on your word and somebody does get involved here, you're 263 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.279 going to lose that TNT championship. All of a sudden, 264 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.039 it's like, Okay, now they've established that nobody from the 265 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.200 Callous family is going to get involved here because obviously 266 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.440 he's not being stripped of that TNT title. So now 267 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.440 there's something tangible that they have put out there as 268 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.240 far as these stipulations for this match, I like that. 269 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.960 I feel like that's something they had to do. So 270 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.840 Callus was furious about this. Fletcher, though, held him back, 271 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.240 said that Hangman could have put anything in that contract, 272 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.399 even forcing him to crawl through broken glass to get 273 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.200 a shot at the AW World Championship, and he would 274 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.039 have signed it. Said, not having the family out there 275 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.799 changes nothing. Fletcher says he will fulfill his destiny at 276 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.799 his a He's twenty six years old right now, he 277 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.799 pointed out, and he said, I'm better than you when 278 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.960 you were this day, when you were in the early 279 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.080 days of AW first coming up and challenging for the 280 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.720 world title for the first time, I'm better now than 281 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:49.279 you were. Then said AW doesn't need Hangman or Kenny Omega, 282 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:54.080 it needs the proto Star. Saturday, Fletcher allows Page to 283 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.559 ride off into the sunset, and with that Fletcher officially 284 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.559 signed the contract. So Hangman said he knows how it 285 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.200 feels to be Kyle Fletcher right now, but the thing 286 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.240 Fletcher doesn't understand is that it will crush him the 287 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:12.080 day after all out. While Page believes Fletcher in saying 288 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.279 that he'll give everything he has, it won't be enough. 289 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.080 But what Fletcher does with that feeling will define him 290 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.840 after all out in the days and years that follow. 291 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:28.159 Don't disappoint me. And Page signed the contract. Fletcher cut 292 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.799 off Shavanni, who was trying to make it official. He 293 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.559 told Hangman that he's a man of his word. No 294 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.480 physicality here during the contract signing, no family members out 295 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.720 there on Saturday. But tonight he promises that Page will 296 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.039 be unable to leave the building on his own two feet, 297 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:49.399 and he will say Kyle Fletcher's full name. Little spoiler here, 298 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.320 he actually did not say Kyle Fletcher's full name, now 299 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.840 that I think about it. He did not deliver on 300 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.480 that promise. The first part he did, but not the 301 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.120 second part. This was pretty standard, I mean, as far 302 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.599 as contract signings go. I mean, I thought, you know, 303 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.519 the verbal stuff back and forth was fine, pretty pedestrian 304 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:11.039 stuff here. They did set up a good hook, I 305 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.960 think for the end of the show. You know, if 306 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.240 you're into this, if you're into this story, you know, 307 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.039 the threat of him doing something to hang Men basically 308 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:21.960 promised you that this was not the last we were 309 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.240 going to see them on the show. So I think 310 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.839 that was a smart thing for them. To do. John 311 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.279 Moxley was in the opening match. He came out with 312 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.440 Marina Shaffir and Daniel Garcia, speaking of which there is 313 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.920 no more funny dance. He's serious now. He's one of 314 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:43.519 the death Riders. He joined last week. So he was 315 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:48.519 out there in Moxley's corner for his match against Roderick Strong, 316 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.720 who had Kyle O'Reilly in his Early in the match, 317 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.000 there was a spot where they ended up outside and 318 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.960 Roddy came face to face with Marina Shaffir, and on 319 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:06.000 commentary Taz made the comment he said, Roddy looks infatuated 320 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.880 with Shaffir. I would hope so. I love how like 321 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.839 in KFA they're not married. Like some couples in the company, 322 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.720 they'll acknowledge it, but then others it's like, no, it 323 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.279 doesn't exist. So in this timeline, Roddy and Marina are 324 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.240 not married because the announcers play dumb and I mean 325 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.480 they kind of yeah, I mean the task thing was 326 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.519 kind of like inside Baseball, but never acknowledged anything there, 327 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.880 only the fact though he was looking a little infatuated 328 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.960 with this woman, and he was infatuated with her long 329 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:42.799 enough for Moxley to blindside him and send Roddy flying 330 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:47.759 over the barricade. Late in the match, both men were 331 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.279 up to the top rope and Strong hid an avalanche 332 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.640 spinning slam for a near fall. Both men were up slowly. 333 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.240 Moxley wanted a paradigm shift. Roddy tackled him to the floor, 334 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.599 astro through Moxley back inside. Garcia tripped him up, leading 335 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:08.079 to a brawl with Garcia and Kyle O'Reilly. Paul Turner's 336 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.759 attention was turned by all of this, so Strong went 337 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:13.839 to hit the ropes. He got tripped up by Wheeler 338 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:20.000 Da although not really because he arrived a little late. 339 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.160 That was the intent anyway. The intent was that for 340 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.319 he was going to trip him up, and that's not 341 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:28.039 really what happened here. That led to Moxley getting the 342 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:31.559 bulldog choke applied and he got the tap out. So 343 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:37.640 this was a pretty paint by numbers opener here between 344 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.960 these two and marked by the usual Death Riders interfere 345 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.839 And so now that Daniel Garcia is part of the group, 346 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.240 he can get in on the party's if we don't 347 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.640 have enough, which Shafir and with Wheeler youdon. Now we've 348 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.839 got Daniel Garcia getting involved. It's exactly what you would 349 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.039 expect the Death Riders match to be. Now, we got 350 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.279 a video package for MJF and Mark Britsco. Which is 351 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.039 a tables and tax match. That is the stipulation that 352 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.599 Mark Briscoe has chosen for this match on Saturday. And 353 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.799 at least as far as MJF and Mark brisco this 354 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.319 has been going on now for a few months. They've 355 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.000 had matches in the past. I suspect this will be 356 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.319 the blowoff to this feud, the last time we see 357 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.119 them in the ring before they move on to whatever 358 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.640 directions they're gonna move on to. So to blow it 359 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.880 off with a stipulation like this is fine. The thing is, though, 360 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.559 like we get so many of these types of matches 361 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.200 any given week, not even on pay per view, but 362 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.279 like on television. And they just finished a residency at 363 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.680 the twenty three hundred Arena. You know, we saw Tony 364 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:44.039 Storm in sky Blue using all kinds of I don't 365 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.000 have tax were in there. They had barbed wire in there, 366 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:50.640 and it's like, you know, all right, it makes sense 367 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:54.240 for these two. I get it, but because we get 368 00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.920 it so often, it kind of diminishes it. When we 369 00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.359 get it in situations like this, at least to me, 370 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.200 it does. But we got the announcement on Collision that 371 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.000 was going to be the stipulation, so then we had footage. 372 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.799 This was from Collision. There was a camera that was 373 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:13.799 positioned outside in the back and it caught MJF, who's 374 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:17.559 not pleased about this stipulation being chosen. We see him 375 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.240 walking and entering Tony Khan's office, which is in a 376 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.440 trailer because this is where they were in Philly. Only 377 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:28.279 so much room back there, so Tony Khan's office was 378 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.720 in a trailer. Now we don't go into the trailer. 379 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.839 We just see MJF going, but we hear everything. It's 380 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.319 all miked up inside, but we don't actually see what's 381 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.039 going on. We don't see the meeting inside. So MJF says, 382 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.720 you screwed me out of cashing in my casino gauntlet contract. 383 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.839 You changed the rules on me, and you owe me 384 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.440 for that, and you owe me one here, So let 385 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.200 me out of this match because I'm not some deathmatch douchebag. 386 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:59.039 He does not want any part of this match. Tony says, no, 387 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.200 he will not let Max out of the match because 388 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.559 he broke the rules and cost Briscoe his chance to 389 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:10.200 compete for the world title, and Tony started raising his voice. 390 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.880 He was putting a little bass in his voice, like 391 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.599 he just hit puberty and he's yelling at this man. 392 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.480 Max says, fine, you decided to put on your big 393 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.119 boy pants today, so it's gonna be on you when 394 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:25.599 I put another brisco in the dirt and he storms 395 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.720 out of Tony's office, completely oblivious to the camera that 396 00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.319 is standing there filming. And that was all we got 397 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.519 on this show as far as MJF and Mark Briscoe, 398 00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.160 neither man was actually on the show tonight outside of 399 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.960 that one segment. So as far as the match this Saturday, 400 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:46.039 that was the last bit of hype that we got 401 00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:50.319
