Speaker 1: What is that, Dino? Dino says, Sola Monster is the
Speaker 1: new Dick Clark. Look, brother, Okay, there can be only
Speaker 1: one Dick Clark. Okay, I should be so lucky as
Speaker 1: to be Dick Clark and have the success and the
Speaker 1: money that that man had. Welcome for the sixth year
Speaker 1: in a row, it is the make it till midnight
Speaker 1: stream here on New Year's Eve, Yes, six years in
Speaker 1: a row. Can you believe that? So for all the
Speaker 1: people out there who usually don't celebrate New Years or
Speaker 1: maybe this year, you don't have any particular place to go,
Speaker 1: you don't have any plans, you can hang out with
Speaker 1: yours truly tonight, and I'm gonna take you guys all
Speaker 1: the way to midnight here the New Year's celebration.
Speaker 2: I am the solemn Monster.
Speaker 1: And of course New Year's Eve this year happens to
Speaker 1: fall on a Wednesday, which is not always the case.
Speaker 1: And so what we're gonna be doing tonight as well
Speaker 1: is talking about aw Dynamite, which actually ended up being
Speaker 1: a newsworthy show with that main event that we had.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna just basically kind of duck in and
Speaker 1: out of the review and your questions if you have
Speaker 1: super chats, you have questions you want to send in.
Speaker 2: Periodically, you will see a little.
Speaker 1: Countdown clock here on the screen so that I can
Speaker 1: keep track of how much time is left before we
Speaker 1: hit midnight. So as of this moment, it's a little
Speaker 1: over an hour, an hour and fourteen minutes at least
Speaker 1: here on the East Coast before we hit twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Now I know some of you that are watching this
Speaker 1: right now. You may not be on the East Coast.
Speaker 1: You may not even be in this country. So wherever
Speaker 1: you may be in the world, it may already be
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. So let me just say to really
Speaker 1: all of you, Happy New Year, Happy early New Year.
Speaker 1: This has been the biggest year yet for the Channel.
Speaker 1: Of course, the channel is only a small part of
Speaker 1: what I do here. Of course I've been doing the
Speaker 1: podcast for eighteen years, but the channel has been building
Speaker 1: each and every year, or of course, less than three
Speaker 1: hundred subs away from ninety thousand, which we will hit
Speaker 1: next month hopefully, And.
Speaker 2: That's all because of you, guys.
Speaker 1: So I want to thank you for another kick ass here,
Speaker 1: and here's hopefully the bigger and better for you and
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty six. How's that?
Speaker 1: How's that for a New Year's resolution. We'll keep it
Speaker 1: very simple. We're gonna have an even better year than
Speaker 1: we had this year. Fuck twenty twenty five, it's over.
Speaker 1: It's in the rear view almost and we look ahead.
Speaker 1: But on the subject of this Dynamite show tonight, you know,
Speaker 1: Mercedes Monnett has been the TBS Champion for five hundred
Speaker 1: eighty five days.
Speaker 2: She has been the champion for a.
Speaker 1: Very long time, and the downfall began a little while ago.
Speaker 1: And I told you guys months ago what I thought
Speaker 1: the vision was for this story, and so far it's
Speaker 1: been playing out pretty much the way that I expected
Speaker 1: it to, even though everybody was freaking out about all
Speaker 1: the different belts that this woman is running around with,
Speaker 1: and she still has a lot of them. But she
Speaker 1: lost the Ring of Honor television title to Red Velvet.
Speaker 1: There was the RevPro Championship a few weeks ago that
Speaker 1: she lost over in the UK to Alex Windsor, and
Speaker 1: then tonight she defended the TBS Championship against the very
Speaker 1: familiar face. It was the woman that she beat to
Speaker 1: become the TBS champion, long time ago. I believe it
Speaker 1: was double or nothing. In fact of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale, who also happens to be one half of
Speaker 1: the new aw Tech Team champions in the women's division.
Speaker 1: So they booked this match for tonight Mercedes in Athena.
Speaker 1: They were unsuccessful and trying to beat Willow and Harley
Speaker 1: Cameron at World's End on Saturday, and Mercedes had a
Speaker 1: gigantic crash out and she said that she was gonna
Speaker 1: fuck Willow up, and they made this match for the
Speaker 1: New Year's Smash episode of Dynamite. And I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this and I'm just thinking, you know, it would make
Speaker 1: sense to hold off on her losing the TBS championship
Speaker 1: until she has ideally until she has lost all of
Speaker 1: these other independent titles that she's running around with, and
Speaker 1: then she could drop the TBS title. And that's kind
Speaker 1: of where I thought, Okay, it makes sense for it
Speaker 1: to kind of happen that way. But I knew there
Speaker 1: was a chance that they could do a title change tonight,
Speaker 1: I just wasn't really expecting it. Well, they went out
Speaker 1: there tonight in the main event, and they sent this
Speaker 1: show and really their entire year out with a bang,
Speaker 1: because these two women went out there and they had
Speaker 1: a pay per view quality main event on this show,
Speaker 1: and when it was over, Willow Nightingale, the woman who
Speaker 1: lost the TBS Championship to her, regained the TBS Championship.
Speaker 1: Five hundred eighty five days later, Willow is once again
Speaker 1: the TBS Champion. Now why they chose to go in
Speaker 1: this direction?
Speaker 2: And I love Willow. I think Willow Nightingale.
Speaker 1: Is great, and I'm not at all unhappy about the
Speaker 1: fact that she is the TBS Champion. I'm just wondering
Speaker 1: if this was the plan to put this title back
Speaker 1: on her. I don't know why then, and they needed
Speaker 1: to put the women's tag team titles on her as well,
Speaker 1: because now she's got two belts, and she becomes the
Speaker 1: first woman in the company to hold two different titles,
Speaker 1: you know, belonging to the same company, which is kind
Speaker 1: of a weird record out of Tony Cup that matters
Speaker 1: to Tony Khan.
Speaker 2: I guess maybe it does.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why Willow needed to win the tag
Speaker 1: team titles with Harley Cameron if she was going to
Speaker 1: get the TBS title back a few weeks later. That's
Speaker 1: just weird to me, and it just feels unnecessary. But
Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with her, you know, once
Speaker 1: again holding singles gold because Willow is fuck it awesome
Speaker 1: and she can go out there just like Mercedes and
Speaker 1: have great matches with you know, almost anybody.
Speaker 2: So it was a big deal.
Speaker 1: They treated it like a big deal, and the conglomeration
Speaker 1: came down. Chris Statlander came down to celebrate. Obviously, her
Speaker 1: partner Harley Cameron came down to the ring when it
Speaker 1: was over, and there was this big celebration. As the
Speaker 1: crash out continues for Mercedes, the downfall continues, and this
Speaker 1: is what is going to continue to happen until she
Speaker 1: has lost all of her gold and she has no
Speaker 1: more belts left. Then and only then can she begin
Speaker 1: to climb back into contention for that world title, which
Speaker 1: of course she's going to win. But that's so long
Speaker 1: into the future. I mean, honestly, at the earliest, all
Speaker 1: in at Wembley Stadium next year, not before that, all
Speaker 1: in Wembley. Yes, I could see her challenging for the
Speaker 1: women's title and winning at this time. Whether it's from Statland,
Speaker 1: I would be very surprised if Chris Statlander is still
Speaker 1: the champion at that point, whether it's Statlander, whether it's
Speaker 1: Jamie Hayter, whether it's Tony Storm. Probably Tony Storm, she
Speaker 1: will win the world title at some point down the road.
Speaker 1: So we got a great main event tonight. But also
Speaker 1: on the show tonight, we had a match between John Boxley,
Speaker 1: who of course is the new continental champion, him and
Speaker 1: Josh Alexander.
Speaker 2: They went out there and they had a good match.
Speaker 1: Bendido had a match on this show tonight because they're
Speaker 1: getting in prep for his match with MJF in a
Speaker 1: few weeks on January fourteenth, So he went out there
Speaker 1: tonight and had a good match with the Beast Mortas.
Speaker 1: Not a single fucking person in the world thought that
Speaker 1: Mortas was gonna win. But and I wish they would
Speaker 1: do more with him as far as just not beating
Speaker 1: him every time we see him in one of these situations.
Speaker 1: Maybe then he'd have some more credibility as much as
Speaker 1: somebody with you know, fucking you know, beast mask on
Speaker 1: his head or bull mask or whatever it is, could
Speaker 1: have credibility. Minute tar Centaur, I don't know whatever kind
Speaker 1: of fucking mask it is. They had a good match.
Speaker 1: So there were a series of good matches here on
Speaker 1: the show tonight. MJF also has his Triple B back,
Speaker 1: The Big Birdberry Belt is back. Now he's the world
Speaker 1: champion against so of course he has to have his
Speaker 1: own custom title.
Speaker 2: There was a national.
Speaker 1: Title match on the show with Ricochet defending against Jack
Speaker 1: Perry and not much of a match. Not not really
Speaker 1: a whole lot to say about this match. Interference galore,
Speaker 1: It was like, eh, whatever. The bigger story though, has
Speaker 1: to do with Lucisaurus.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: When I did my World's End review as part of
Speaker 1: the podcast on Sunday, and I talked about the pre show,
Speaker 1: you remember the match on the pre show was Jet
Speaker 1: Speed and Jurassic Express against Josh Alexander and the Demand,
Speaker 1: and Lucasaurus hardly did anything in that match. They did
Speaker 1: an angle where he was taken to the back or
Speaker 1: he was in the back, and then he came out
Speaker 1: later on and then he did like two moves, and
Speaker 1: I said, it felt to me like they were protecting
Speaker 1: him because he's legitimately hurt. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: injury could be, but I said, that's a guy who
Speaker 1: clearly there's something wrong and they don't want him doing a.
Speaker 2: Whole hell of a lot and I hope I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Well tonight we got our answer because unfortunately the dinosaur
Speaker 1: is hurt, which I guess happens when you're sixty five
Speaker 1: million years old. But he is hurt. He is nursing
Speaker 1: a legitimate injury, and wouldn't you know, it is a
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. So they did an angle with him tonight
Speaker 1: to write him off of television. But it is a
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, and that is according to Sean ross Sap
Speaker 1: of Fightful. Now. This comes only hours after Sean posted
Speaker 1: a news update on Fightful that Michen Over in WWE
Speaker 1: apparently got hurt on their holiday tour this week. Michin
Speaker 1: who is scheduled or was scheduled, I guess, to wrestle
Speaker 1: Jade Cargill in a non title match on that first
Speaker 1: three hour SmackDown coming up on Friday. It looks like
Speaker 1: that match is out the window now. She also got hurt.
Speaker 1: She hurt her shoulder, and we don't know the severity
Speaker 1: or the extent of the injury, but if she hurt
Speaker 1: her shoulder, it's safe to say she's probably not wrestling
Speaker 1: on Friday. And you know, I've talked about this recently,
Speaker 1: this plague primarily in WWE, but this plague of shoulder injuries,
Speaker 1: call it the shoulder Demon. The shoulder Demon has been
Speaker 1: very busy this year, and not even this year. It's
Speaker 1: like the last six months, five or six months, and
Speaker 1: in just the last like half of the year, we've
Speaker 1: had said there were so many names. When I listed
Speaker 1: them out on Twitter, I was like, did I miss anybody?
Speaker 1: Because I thought maybe I missed somebody. Seth Rollins right, obviously,
Speaker 1: he lost the World Heavyweight Championship because of a shoulder injury.
Speaker 1: Seth Rollins, Chad Gable, Live, Morgan, Seamusho. We just learned
Speaker 1: underwent shoulder surgery, so we're not going to see him
Speaker 1: for a while. He was in Birmingham. Penta, Thankfully it
Speaker 1: wasn't too serious. Penta just came back. He only missed
Speaker 1: what five weeks maybe, but Penta had a shoulder injury.
Speaker 1: It deprived us of a Lucha Brothers reunion. A couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago at the Triple A show, Dominic Mysterio
Speaker 1: out with a shoulder injury that he sustained at the
Speaker 1: Triple A show that Penta was supposed to wrestle on.
Speaker 1: In fact, the match that Penta inter feared in and
Speaker 1: got involved in was the match where Dom hurt his shoulder. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: he dodged a bullet, and it sounds like he's not
Speaker 1: going to need surgery, and we should have Don back
Speaker 1: on television within about four weeks. He'll be back in
Speaker 1: time for the Rumbles, So that's good news. But he's
Speaker 1: out right now because of his shoulder injury. And now
Speaker 1: we find out, of course about Meechen, and now we
Speaker 1: find out about Lucasarus. Apparently the Shoulder Demon is a
Speaker 1: free agent. He's not bound by any contract or any
Speaker 1: kind of noncompete, and he can bounce around from promotion
Speaker 1: to promotion as needed. So now he has jumped ship
Speaker 1: to aw and the Shoulder Demon is now affecting people
Speaker 1: in this company as well. I don't know what it
Speaker 1: is specifically about the shoulder, but this has been a
Speaker 1: real problem here for the last few months. And so now,
Speaker 1: unfortunately for Jack Perry, after this big Jurassic Express reunion
Speaker 1: after so many years, it looks like he's basically back
Speaker 1: to the singles ranks again. But anyway, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: this whole show, but also go in and out here
Speaker 1: with your messages as we count down to the new year,
Speaker 1: and keep me posted in the chat in case I
Speaker 1: lose myself here.
Speaker 2: I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I don't miss the midnight
Speaker 1: countdown here. But again, for those of you joining late,
Speaker 1: I thank you for hanging out with me here on
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, as we do every year on the channel.
Speaker 1: If you are new here, hit that subscribe button, hit
Speaker 1: that like button as well. The minimum number I want
Speaker 1: to hit tonight live is four hundred. We almost always
Speaker 1: exceed that, but hopefully tonight we will not, although again
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of people who are
Speaker 1: not here that usually are here because they are elsewhere.
Speaker 1: Super chats are open. I will be reading your messages,
Speaker 1: so please get them on in and of course your
Speaker 1: support is always appreciated. But as far as Dynamite goes,
Speaker 1: let's take it to the top and we'll start there
Speaker 1: Jay White. By the way, somebody mentioned Jay White. Was
Speaker 1: it a shoulder injury?
Speaker 2: With Jay White?
Speaker 1: I thought, or am I thinking of the foot injury? Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm thinking of the foot in You know what,
Speaker 1: you may be right I think Jay White also. The
Speaker 1: most recent injury with him, I believe was I believe
Speaker 1: was a shoulder. I believe, I believe you're right. Yes,
Speaker 1: the shoulder, the shoulder. Demon is the forbidden door, says Michael. Yes, unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, for those of you who joined
Speaker 1: last year on the New Year's Eve stream, this was
Speaker 1: a big hit.
Speaker 2: So I decided to bring it back out. This is
Speaker 2: my uh I.
Speaker 1: Don't even know what you would call this. This is
Speaker 1: not really a kazoo. Just makes a funny noise. I
Speaker 1: said a party store last year and I said, man,
Speaker 1: this is it says happy two year round here.
Speaker 2: But I said, hey, let's bring it back.
Speaker 1: So there you go. We'll leave that honker over there.
Speaker 1: The brand new aw World champion MJF. He was out
Speaker 1: to the ring to open the show tonight with his
Speaker 1: new head of hair, which looks very different than the
Speaker 1: last time we saw him on TV. Airhorn. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I guess it would be an airhorn, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, this is our This is our air horn.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like the air horn that's that's
Speaker 1: an air horn. I got that on lock. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll go back to this after a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cee J.
Speaker 1: White, somebody said hand injury. I'm not sure if it
Speaker 1: was shoulder. It might have been hand. He's also I
Speaker 1: mean him and Wardlow and Adam Cole these last few years. Man,
Speaker 1: I call him the Terrible Triad because it's just those
Speaker 1: three guys in particular have just been besieged by injuries.
Speaker 1: I would throw Keith Lee in there, but he's just
Speaker 1: been injured almost his entire career in this company. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so MJF was out to the ring to open the show.
Speaker 1: He said, Swerve Strickland is the franchise, Samoa Joe is
Speaker 1: the Samoan submission machine, Hangman Page is the main character.
Speaker 1: All three men that he beat on Saturday. He said,
Speaker 1: that's cute, But he's MJF the AW World champion. So
Speaker 1: he took the AW title and he chucked it out
Speaker 1: of the ring, just threw it outside the ring, and
Speaker 1: Tony Shrevanni lost his shit. He was very outraged by this.
Speaker 1: So in the ring they had a display stand and
Speaker 1: clearly there was a belt under a tarp. G I wonder,
Speaker 1: I wonder what's underneath the clock. Tony Shravanni's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: why is he throwing the belt out of the ring? Oh,
Speaker 1: G Tony, I don't know. I can't figure it out.
Speaker 1: So he pulls the tarp off to reveal, of course,
Speaker 1: the triple B or I guess he said, the new
Speaker 1: or the new would improved triple B, which just looks
Speaker 1: a lot like the old triple B, the big Birdberry
Speaker 1: belt that he had during his first run as champion.
Speaker 1: It is back, and he said, you know, you either
Speaker 1: step up or you get stepped on, called himself a stallion,
Speaker 1: said that he's done slow trotting around, so the donkeys
Speaker 1: in the back can keep up. From now on, it's
Speaker 1: a sprint and no one is going to catch him,
Speaker 1: as he's going to go down as the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time. So Kenny Omega appears on the big screen
Speaker 1: from I guess his home said that he's sorry to interrupt,
Speaker 1: said that MJF made him feel a certain way. He
Speaker 1: made him feel a certain way, but he made him
Speaker 1: feel like the old Kenny Omega is reaching the end
Speaker 1: of his career more than he is the beginning of it,
Speaker 1: which is a stone that he hates leaving unturned because
Speaker 1: it makes him think, you know what, if what if
Speaker 1: he can become the AW world champion again? What if
Speaker 1: they met in the ring today and not like they
Speaker 1: did the last time, which was a collision match when
Speaker 1: MJF beat him. Actually that was the match where MJF
Speaker 1: became the longest rainning champion in AW history. He goes,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be MJF against the cleaner or the best
Speaker 1: bout machine or the belt collector. He said, they he's
Speaker 1: not collecting belts. He's going for one and whether it's
Speaker 1: next week or if he has to claw his way
Speaker 1: to a title shot, MJF is going to be seeing
Speaker 1: a lot more of him. And then he bid us
Speaker 1: Ado and that was the last we heard or saw
Speaker 1: of Kenny Omega on this show. So in the ring,
Speaker 1: MJF said that the dumb schmuck fans chanting Omega's name,
Speaker 1: they could do that all they want to, but Omega
Speaker 1: was not mad enough to come out and say it
Speaker 1: to his face. So then we see in the crowd,
Speaker 1: different parts of the crowd. Hangman Adam Page is there,
Speaker 1: he's got a chain, Swerve Strickland is there, he's got tuxedo,
Speaker 1: t servo. My goodness, he didn't bring a chain. He
Speaker 1: brought Oscar with him. Thank you Tuxedo. That gets us
Speaker 1: up to three out of fifteen on the bonus superchag
Speaker 1: Gold and I thank you brother and Happy New Year.
Speaker 1: And by the way, thank you to Devil's Fan Brodure
Speaker 1: for five. That's right, one, two, three, four five channel
Speaker 1: membership about that. Congrats to all the new channel members.
Speaker 1: Thank you to Devil's Fan. You're awesome. So here come
Speaker 1: Hangman and here comes Hangman and Swerve and they head
Speaker 1: to ringside. They get held back by security. MJF tells
Speaker 1: them to relax. He's a professional wrestler who believes wins
Speaker 1: and losses matter, and he said, if they start winning matches,
Speaker 1: they can talk to Tony Khann and he'll whitbolt their
Speaker 1: asses like he did at World's End. And he quickly
Speaker 1: escapes into the crowd. Because they were able to I
Speaker 1: know this is going to be a shock to all
Speaker 1: of you, but they were able to bust through the
Speaker 1: security geeks at ringside and get into the ring. And
Speaker 1: by this point MJF was already halfway out of town,
Speaker 1: so he was gone at that point. But then Hangman
Speaker 1: and Swerve they're beating up the security geeks. At one point,
Speaker 1: they each grabbed the end of the chain like one
Speaker 1: chain and they used it to close line some security
Speaker 1: geeks and then they power bomb them. Actually it was
Speaker 1: a double power bomb. And then we got the assisted
Speaker 1: buckshot lariot where he actually rolled off of Swerve's back
Speaker 1: into the buck shot and then that guy got a
Speaker 1: house call kick. I'm telling you, these two would make
Speaker 1: a great tag team if they wanted to go after
Speaker 1: the tag team titles. So Hangman took the mic and
Speaker 1: said that when he gets ahold of MJF, he's going
Speaker 1: to strangle him with his ugly ass belt. Swerve said
Speaker 1: that MJF better pray that Hangman gets to him before
Speaker 1: he does. Says the hunt is on and may the
Speaker 1: worst man win. And Samoa Joe popped up with the
Speaker 1: ops on the big screen and he said they deserve nothing.
Speaker 1: Joe said that he deserves to be the number one contender.
Speaker 1: He has the answer for the obstacles that are in
Speaker 1: his way. Hangman and Swerve had the audacity to put
Speaker 1: their hands on hook, the greatest second generation wrestler of
Speaker 1: all time. And as he said, this hook ate a
Speaker 1: potato chip, because that's just what he does so. He
Speaker 1: said that he has ordered Hook if he finds them
Speaker 1: to drop them on site, choke them out. Hobbs is
Speaker 1: coming for Swerve, while Hook is targeting Hangman next week,
Speaker 1: and Hangman said that it's New Year's same dumbass and
Speaker 1: he begs Joe please, I beg of you send Hook
Speaker 1: and Strickland said, next week it's going to be a
Speaker 1: tag team match, no holds barred, lights out, and then
Speaker 1: we got the announcement a little while after that that
Speaker 1: Tony Kahan made it official that we will have a
Speaker 1: lights out match on Dynamite next week. That'll be the
Speaker 1: first Dynamite of the New year. As I said on
Speaker 1: the sound off this past weekend, MJF winning the title
Speaker 1: at World's End the right decision to make. And he's
Speaker 1: got several challengers already lined up. We already know he's
Speaker 1: got the match with Bandido in two weeks, so he'll
Speaker 1: beat Bandido.
Speaker 2: That'll be on the.
Speaker 1: January fourteenth episode. But I mentioned you got Hangman, you
Speaker 1: got Swerve, you got Darby who obviously has you know,
Speaker 1: history with MJF, and I specifically mentioned Kenny Omegan. I said,
Speaker 1: maybe this is what Omega was referring to last week
Speaker 1: when he told the Young Box, sorry, you guys are
Speaker 1: going to be out for a little bit. You're not cleared.
Speaker 1: You know what I've been There's something I've been meaning
Speaker 1: to do. And I'm like, well, what does he mean
Speaker 1: by that? And on over the weekend, I said, well,
Speaker 1: maybe this is what he was talking about. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe what he's talking about is I got to get
Speaker 1: my ass back in contention for the world title. Now
Speaker 1: we have our answer, and that's great because he's really
Speaker 1: been phased down as far as like a singles star
Speaker 1: in the last few months. It'll be nice, assuming he's
Speaker 1: healthy enough to kind of get back into the swing
Speaker 1: of things on his own and start wrestling. He doesn't
Speaker 1: have to wrestle every week on TV, but it would
Speaker 1: be nice to get an Omega match every now and
Speaker 1: then on TV and then get some big pay per
Speaker 1: view matches out of him. And so I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're going to build to him as the first
Speaker 1: challenger after Bandido and do this at Revolution. It's kind
Speaker 1: of what it felt like to me that maybe Omega
Speaker 1: and MJF is a Revolution match. It could be a
Speaker 1: double or nothing match. I think there's a story there
Speaker 1: in you know, as Omega said, like the climb back
Speaker 1: to the world title or back into world title contention.
Speaker 1: So I don't think they need to rush into that match.
Speaker 1: You know, you could, you could save it, you know
Speaker 1: for the spring. But then there's well Osprey of course,
Speaker 1: so there's a number.
Speaker 2: Of people that MJF. For me, he's all booked.
Speaker 1: Up for the next six months at least, so he's
Speaker 1: got plenty of people to work with. We had Timeless
Speaker 1: Tony Storm, Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong against Claudio Castignoli,
Speaker 1: Daniel Garcia and Marina Shaffir and what they called a
Speaker 1: Tornado trios match, so we got more intergender action here
Speaker 1: between husband and wife as we did at the pay
Speaker 1: per view or as they call it, for play. So
Speaker 1: Shaffir in this match, for example, she took Roddy down
Speaker 1: with a judo throw. Tony was signaling for a giant
Speaker 1: swing at one point and Garcia booted her in the face,
Speaker 1: which got him Honestly, probably got him as much heat
Speaker 1: as Gunther had coming out on Raw Monday night, which
Speaker 1: is not really to say that he got nuclear heat,
Speaker 1: but rather to illustrate that already the bloom is coming
Speaker 1: off the rose with all this supposed heat that Gunther
Speaker 1: was going to get for tapping out John Seene, I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting to see what was all this Megga heat
Speaker 1: that people were saying he was going to get. I
Speaker 1: don't hear it, do you hear it? But he got
Speaker 1: heat for booting her in the face here. So Cassidy
Speaker 1: flew in with an orange punch, but turned into mother's
Speaker 1: milk from Shaffir. Roddy pulled her off and then dropped
Speaker 1: his wife with a backbreaker across the knee. Claudio laid
Speaker 1: out strong and rolled through a top rope crossbody from Oc,
Speaker 1: who countered into a stun dog Millionaire. Claudia then took
Speaker 1: the referee and that distraction allowed for Wheeler you to,
Speaker 1: who was not in this match, to hang up Cassidy
Speaker 1: on the top rope, which led to a big upper
Speaker 1: cut from Claudio.
Speaker 2: And that won it for the Death Riders.
Speaker 1: So basically what happened here is they ran back the
Speaker 1: mixed Nuts match from World's End.
Speaker 2: That's basically what they did.
Speaker 1: They gave us another version of more or less the
Speaker 1: same match that we got on Saturday, only this time
Speaker 1: the death Riders went over, so we got some fifty
Speaker 1: to fifty booking here.
Speaker 2: One win for the good.
Speaker 1: Guys and now one win for the bad guys. I
Speaker 1: don't think we needed to see this match twice, not
Speaker 1: that it was a bad match. I just you know,
Speaker 1: they just ran the same shit back from Saturday. But
Speaker 1: I sense, I sense we might be getting a singles
Speaker 1: match soon. I wonder if they are preparing to do
Speaker 1: an intergender match between Roderick Strong and Marina Shaffir. The
Speaker 1: intergender stuff that they have done so far in these
Speaker 1: two matches have gotten the biggest reaction of probably anything
Speaker 1: in the match. Although this stuff with Orange Cassidy and
Speaker 1: Tony on Saturday got a reaction, but the fans have
Speaker 1: been into it. So I just wonder if they if
Speaker 1: they're actually preparing to do a match between the two
Speaker 1: of them. I don't know if that's where it's headed
Speaker 1: or not. Beyond that, I don't know where they're where
Speaker 1: they're taking this stuff, but pretty much just a re
Speaker 1: thread of what we saw Saturday with a different outcome.
Speaker 1: So after this, we had the Ring of Honor World
Speaker 1: Champion and the Dynamite Diamond Ring winner. Finally, somebody else
Speaker 1: has a diamond ring. Now will be Bandido. He went
Speaker 1: one on one against the Beast Mortos, and right away
Speaker 1: the announcers remind us that Bandido has a guaranteed shot
Speaker 1: at MJF and the AW World Championship coming his way
Speaker 1: in two weeks at what they're calling the maximum carnage
Speaker 1: episode of Dynamite. So Bandido he comes out, he has
Speaker 1: a cape on, and at the beginning of this match
Speaker 1: here he used his entrance cape to play bullfighter, and
Speaker 1: so the Beast Mortos took the bait. He missed some charges,
Speaker 1: but not the headbutt that put a stop to all
Speaker 1: the silliness. Morto's then connected with a tornado dive through
Speaker 1: the ropes to the floor.
Speaker 2: Back inside.
Speaker 1: Bandido dodged a charge in the corner and he sent
Speaker 1: the beast outside he gave that gave Bandido a chance
Speaker 1: to put his cape back on, and then he came
Speaker 1: flying off the top with a high cross body down
Speaker 1: onto Mortos. His cape actually landed after he did, because
Speaker 1: his cape went flying off, and so the cape landed
Speaker 1: gently on the ground after ben Adido did, and that
Speaker 1: took us into a commercial break here. So later on
Speaker 1: in the match, Morto's hit a running crucifix bomb and
Speaker 1: a pop up samo and drop for a two count.
Speaker 1: It was a lariot that turned Bandido inside out. Mortos
Speaker 1: went for a corkscrew moon salt, but he missed and
Speaker 1: Bandido managed to get Mortos up into the X knee
Speaker 1: and then followed with the twenty one plex for the wins. So,
Speaker 1: you know, it was a good showcase for Bandidel because
Speaker 1: they are prepping him for a World Championship match, so
Speaker 1: it makes sense they would give him something to do
Speaker 1: here on this show. And look, I mean, the Beast Mortos.
Speaker 1: It's a silly, funny gimmick, but he's actually a really
Speaker 1: fun wrestler to watch. He just never wins, So it
Speaker 1: would be nice if, you know, we got to see
Speaker 1: him on this show and not just on Collision or
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor. If they could actually feed him. They'll
Speaker 1: feed the Beast some wins against lower level talent and
Speaker 1: just let him go out there and smash guys. Even
Speaker 1: if you just goes in there and loses to like
Speaker 1: the you know, the guys higher up on the card.
Speaker 1: I just feel like he always loses, and so it's
Speaker 1: like all right, as soon as you see him, you
Speaker 1: already know the outcome of the match. But as far
Speaker 1: as the match itself, you know, it was a good match.
Speaker 1: I don't really have much else to say about it.
Speaker 1: It was It was a competitive match to a point,
Speaker 1: but it was a showcase for Bandido. So I'm just
Speaker 1: looking at the clock here, forty six minutes to go
Speaker 1: here until we hit the new year. Are you excited?
Speaker 1: Are you excited? Is tomorrow going to feel any different
Speaker 1: to you than today? Probably not. Suplexus says that Mortos
Speaker 1: has booked as strong as Daniel Garcia this year.
Speaker 2: Is that supposed to be an endorsement?
Speaker 1: You're not helping his cause here by making the comparison
Speaker 1: to Daniel Garcia.
Speaker 2: Renee was backstage.
Speaker 1: With Brody King and Bandido and asked if this win
Speaker 1: against Morte's gives Bandido momentum. Well, gee, I wondered, Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I think that this win actually is probably going to
Speaker 1: set him back a little bit. Renee. So he kind
Speaker 1: of promo in Spanish. I don't know what he said,
Speaker 1: but he was all fired up when he said it.
Speaker 1: Brody King said that Bandido is the most wanted Everyone
Speaker 1: is gunning for him, and in two weeks. He will
Speaker 1: have an even bigger target on him once he wins
Speaker 1: the aw World title and becomes Bandido two belts. And
Speaker 1: when that happens, Brody said that he's getting the first shot,
Speaker 1: but until then, he's got some business of his own
Speaker 1: to handle. Even though we were told that John Moxley's
Speaker 1: match was coming up next, they go to the next
Speaker 1: match and fucking Lee Johnson is in the ring and
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I guess the plans change. And on
Speaker 1: commentary they said, well, you know, sometimes we got a
Speaker 1: standby match here on the show, like they had extra
Speaker 1: time to fill all of a sudden. So it was
Speaker 1: Brody King against Lee Johnson and what we got here
Speaker 1: was a good old fashioned squash match. Before Brody even
Speaker 1: got into the ring, Johnson hit a dive out onto him.
Speaker 1: All that did was piss him off, so he demolished Johnson.
Speaker 1: Inside the ring, Johnson got turned inside out with a
Speaker 1: massive lariot and then the big cannonball in the corner
Speaker 1: that led to a gonzo bomb for the win.
Speaker 2: So not a good night for Lee Johnson.
Speaker 1: We got a video promo from Darby Allen, who was
Speaker 1: outdoors somewhere sitting in front of a fire. At least
Speaker 1: he wasn't on fire, and he was talking about going
Speaker 1: to hell with Gabe Kidd. At World's End, he says,
Speaker 1: I'm not numb to the pain goes. In fact, I'm
Speaker 1: probably more aware of it than anyone, and he wishes
Speaker 1: that he could relay the beauty that Payne gives him.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, he stood atop Mount Everest, and
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six he wants to stand atop a
Speaker 1: w but not before he can defeat all of the
Speaker 1: death Riders, because he says he's beaten them all except
Speaker 1: for one, and that one that he has yet to
Speaker 1: beat is Pack. He doesn't know when or where, but
Speaker 1: he needs to get that win to finally put an
Speaker 1: end to this so that he can set himself free. Pack,
Speaker 1: by the way, again, was not on the show. He
Speaker 1: was not there on Saturday. He was not on the
Speaker 1: show tonight either, And I have no idea why. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he went back home. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's hurt, but he just hasn't been there
Speaker 1: the last couple of shows, and I don't know when
Speaker 1: we're gonna see him again. Doesn't really feel like Moxley
Speaker 1: is leaving the Death Riders anytime soon? Does it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: When you have Darby cutting promos saying you know, I've
Speaker 1: beaten all the Death Riders. They've all been losers to
Speaker 1: me except this one guy, and that guy is pack,
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, well, I guess a turn on Moxley
Speaker 1: right now really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't get the sense that it certainly
Speaker 1: didn't happen tonight, didn't happen on Saturday. It didn't happen tonight,
Speaker 1: And I did not get any impression whatsoever that it's
Speaker 1: coming anytime soon. There's been no hint of anything. There's
Speaker 1: been no teas of anything. There's been no crooked look
Speaker 1: that anybody has given him, there's been no comment under
Speaker 1: someone's breath. The Death Riders are all aligned, they're all
Speaker 1: on the same page, and I guess everything is copasetic
Speaker 1: and we're just waiting for Pac to come back. So
Speaker 1: there you go, because Moxley has lost to Darby, just
Speaker 1: like all the rest of them have. The fuck are
Speaker 1: they going to attack Moxley for he's the only one
Speaker 1: with a belt? I guess other than Claudio. He's got
Speaker 1: the CMLL belt. Why would you kick out the one
Speaker 1: guy who actually has an aw title in your group.
Speaker 1: It's like, now they can't kick him out. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: make any sense. They're only in the third inning. Yes, oh,
Speaker 1: we're only in the third inning of this game. We
Speaker 1: got a continental title eliminated match with John Moxley, the
Speaker 1: new champion, facing Josh Alexander. There is a new wrinkle
Speaker 1: to these eliminator matches, and now they all have twenty
Speaker 1: minute time limits. That's not like a new thing, but
Speaker 1: the wrinkle to it now is that if you go
Speaker 1: to a twenty minute draw, it is as good as
Speaker 1: winning the match, because if you win the match, then
Speaker 1: you get a title shot against the person that you
Speaker 1: just beat, which, by the way, these eliminator matches are
Speaker 1: very dumb. They are very stupid, but they continue to
Speaker 1: do them where you have to wrestle the champion and
Speaker 1: then beat the champion to get a title shot, so
Speaker 1: that you have to wrestle the champion for a second time.
Speaker 2: That is how they do things now.
Speaker 1: Again, the rankings they got rid of a long time ago,
Speaker 1: but this is how they build up number one contenders
Speaker 1: by putting them in the ring with the champion and
Speaker 1: having them beat the champion to then get a rematch
Speaker 1: with the champion for the title. So I just think
Speaker 1: it's just a dumb way of doing it. But now
Speaker 1: this is even dumber now because what they have essentially
Speaker 1: turned these eliminator matches into are these dumb WWE beat
Speaker 1: the clock challenges. That's basically all they are now now.
Speaker 1: Instead of five minutes, which is what you would get
Speaker 1: with the beat the clock shit, it's twenty minutes. But
Speaker 1: if you can last twenty minutes, then you get a
Speaker 1: championship match. So this is now aw's version of beat
Speaker 1: the clock. And you know how I feel about beat
Speaker 1: the clock, So that's the new wrinkle in things. Moxley
Speaker 1: came up with a barricade through the crowd and he
Speaker 1: kind of feigned that he almost slipped and fell. He
Speaker 1: was wincing from the ankle that was worked over World's
Speaker 1: End on Saturday, so continuing to sell the bad leg
Speaker 1: from the match with Fletcher and then the match with Okada,
Speaker 1: and Alexander attacked him at the bell immediately was wrenching
Speaker 1: at the mouth, and they pointed out that Moxley broke
Speaker 1: his tooth in the match. You know, it's it's such
Speaker 1: a it's such a strange thing because we see all
Speaker 1: of the abuse that Moxley puts himself through right in
Speaker 1: these matches, and he's always bleeding and taking forks to
Speaker 1: the head and barbed wire and just all this nonsense
Speaker 1: and all these weapon shots and of all things, if
Speaker 1: you saw how he broke his tooth during the match
Speaker 1: with h Fletcher. I think it was the first match,
Speaker 1: like he was wedged in between he was like by
Speaker 1: the ring steps outside and then he just sort of
Speaker 1: fell and he just so happened to land I guess
Speaker 1: tooth first, like right on top of the ring steps.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't even like he got picked up and
Speaker 1: dropped like, you know, face down. It didn't look like
Speaker 1: anything really out of the ordinary. So it was like
Speaker 1: the most like the what looked like the most minor
Speaker 1: spot of the entire match. And the guy's walking around
Speaker 1: with a tooth that looks like its split right on
Speaker 1: the middle. So anyway, they pointed that out. As he
Speaker 1: was wrenching at Moxley's mouth, Alexander shot a single leg.
Speaker 1: He targeted the bed wheel. Moxley went to the eyes
Speaker 1: until he got back dropped over the top to the floor,
Speaker 1: so it was all Alexander during the commercial break, and
Speaker 1: when things came back Moxley he briefly got a rear
Speaker 1: naked choke. Alexander slid out into an ankle lock. Moxley
Speaker 1: teased tapping out, but he made the ropes, rolled out
Speaker 1: to the apron. Alexander went out with him and they
Speaker 1: were trading supplex and pile driver attempts until Alexander slipped
Speaker 1: behind and Moxley's leg got kicked out and Alexander hit
Speaker 1: a world strongest slam on the apron. So back inside,
Speaker 1: Alexander missed a moonsalt, Moxley missed a paradigm shift. He
Speaker 1: fired off a cutter for a two count that he
Speaker 1: sank in a bulldog choke, which Alexander countered into a
Speaker 1: back suplex, so Moxley popped up and he delivered a
Speaker 1: backdrop driver. He turned Alexander in side out with the lariat.
Speaker 1: Both men are down.
Speaker 3: Yew.
Speaker 1: The crowd is really behind John Moxley here in this match,
Speaker 1: as they were on Saturday, because he's a babyface now
Speaker 1: or a tweeter at the very least, Alexander posted the
Speaker 1: bad leg before sinking in the figure four around the
Speaker 1: ring post, but he had to let go and then
Speaker 1: he had a huge diving knee drop to the leg
Speaker 1: back inside and while wrenching at the ankle, Moxley raked
Speaker 1: the eyes. He pulled Alexander into the choke before firing
Speaker 1: off some anvil elbows and he knocked Alexander's head gear off.
Speaker 1: He was bleeding from the head. I didn't see exactly
Speaker 1: how it happened, but he he had a fair amount
Speaker 1: of blood actually coming from his the forehead or the
Speaker 1: top of the head. Alexander did and he ended up
Speaker 1: in the choke and he passed out in the rear
Speaker 1: naked choke. So John Moxley defeats Josh Alexander, and what
Speaker 1: was a good match. And again Moxley's here playing the
Speaker 1: role of babyface peril, you know, for the fans to
Speaker 1: cheer as he's selling the bad leg and trying to
Speaker 1: make this triumphant comeback, and then in the end he does.
Speaker 1: So it was a good wrestling match, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just weird how he's still part of
Speaker 1: a group that the people boo like we had this
Speaker 1: Mixed Nuts rematch earlier in the Night with the Death Riders,
Speaker 1: who are clearly the heels, but Moxley, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: this story they've told with him where he has been taking.
Speaker 1: You know, he took a lot of losses in recent months,
Speaker 1: and he was teasing, tapping out. He was tapping out.
Speaker 1: He tapped out to Hangman and then to Darby and
Speaker 1: then to Kyle O'Reilly, and he started cutting all these
Speaker 1: babyface promos in the Continental Classic, and the fans just
Speaker 1: took to him as a babyface. I don't know how
Speaker 1: long they're going to keep this dynamic up for. I
Speaker 1: don't know if the idea is to slowly turn the
Speaker 1: rest of the Death Riders into again, if not Babyfaces,
Speaker 1: more of a tweener faction that at least doesn't go
Speaker 1: around trying to murder people with plastic bags, if that's
Speaker 1: the plan, or if they have something else in mind
Speaker 1: and what they plan to do with Pack when he
Speaker 1: comes back, because again, right now, it looks like the
Speaker 1: idea of Moxley no longer being associated with the Death
Speaker 1: Riders that ain't gonna happen. The Death Riders are locked
Speaker 1: in step together and where one goes the others go.
Speaker 1: Whether that's as good guys or bad guys, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Best I could say is at least they don't have
Speaker 1: a stranglehold on the world title anymore. At least that's something.
Speaker 1: But after the match was over, we weren't done yet
Speaker 1: because MVP and Shelton Benjamin they come sauntering out. They
Speaker 1: strolled out onto stage, onto the stage here and they
Speaker 1: are staring down Moxley from afar, and we are reminded
Speaker 1: on commentary that Benjamin came awfully close to making it
Speaker 1: to the semi finals in the Continental Classic last year,
Speaker 1: So now we know who was made official. Later on,
Speaker 1: Moxley and Shelton they're gonna have an eliminator match next
Speaker 1: week on Dynamite. They're gonna go one on one, which
Speaker 1: again as a match, sounds like a really good match,
Speaker 1: and maybe that'll go to a time limit draw and
Speaker 1: then that way they don't need him to beat the
Speaker 1: champion just to wrestle him again. If they go to
Speaker 1: a draw, he'll get a title match out of it,
Speaker 1: because that's the new rule. And I don't mind Shelton
Speaker 1: Benjamin being involved with a championship because Shelton. Benjamin is
Speaker 1: fucking great, And my concern was Bobby Lashley is done.
Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley is hurt bad enough that apparently he is
Speaker 1: gone for months, so we're not going to see him
Speaker 1: for a while. It would be very easy for Shelton
Speaker 1: to end up on the back burner and getting a
Speaker 1: random match here and there on Collision. He's too good
Speaker 1: for that. He's too good for that. So I'd like
Speaker 1: to see him still be involved in the mix, whether
Speaker 1: it's with the Continental title, if it's with the National
Speaker 1: title or the TNT title against Mark Briscoe or something
Speaker 1: something that has some sort of significance here on this show.
Speaker 1: So if he's going to be involved in this, then
Speaker 1: that's good. I'd rather that than just him not being
Speaker 1: on the show at all. But then later in the show,
Speaker 1: in the back, we had a death Rider's promo. They
Speaker 1: were all together and John Moxley said that Shelton and
Speaker 1: the people who hurt people, you don't have to come
Speaker 1: out to look at me like you feel some kind
Speaker 1: of way. I'm easy to find. So then Wheeler you'd
Speaker 1: spoke up and he said the Darby Allen, if you
Speaker 1: want to get to pack You've got to go through.
Speaker 2: He says.
Speaker 1: If you got who want to get to Pack, You've
Speaker 1: got to get through me. Where is it? There's a
Speaker 1: very appropriate do I have it here? I don't have it.
Speaker 1: I was gonna I was gonna hit my my laughter,
Speaker 1: my laugh track, because that's the first thing I thought
Speaker 1: of when I was listening to him talk. Here, you
Speaker 1: guys go through Willer Dah if you want to get
Speaker 1: to Pack, Okay, no problem. So they're gonna have that match.
Speaker 1: I think they said on Collision. It's such a big match.
Speaker 1: They're just they're gonna blow through it on Collision, so
Speaker 1: Darby will get his win over Willer Dah on that show.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I heard this and I'm like, is
Speaker 1: this supposed to be some kind of threat? So then
Speaker 1: Daniel Garcia said, it doesn't matter who you are the
Speaker 1: Death Riders, it's us against the world in twenty twenty six. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like John Moxley is going anywhere anytime
Speaker 1: soon with this group. I think that pretty much confirms it.
Speaker 1: I do have to say this about John Moxley though,
Speaker 1: and I said this on TNT the other night. John
Speaker 1: Moxley's second half of twenty twenty five was a lot
Speaker 1: better than his first half. The first half, the first
Speaker 1: half of this year when he was really in the
Speaker 1: thick of that world title run and they were killing people,
Speaker 1: attempting to kill people, napping the Rock and Roll Express
Speaker 1: and all this goofy bullshit. They were doing worst pay
Speaker 1: per view main event in aw history of revolution with
Speaker 1: him and Copeland.
Speaker 2: All this stuff. It was dreadful television.
Speaker 1: It was just awful, you know when I talk about
Speaker 1: the Death Riders and like, oh my god, the Death Riders,
Speaker 1: like a lot of it has to do with what
Speaker 1: we got from like January or even the end of
Speaker 1: last year, until he dropped the belt to Hangman in
Speaker 1: Texas in July. It was just it was awful. Then
Speaker 1: you would get little beacons of light here and there,
Speaker 1: anarchy in the arena, was a lot of fun. Like
Speaker 1: there were like moments or matches like that here and there.
Speaker 1: But I just think that like the weekly television with
Speaker 1: the Death Riders and the music hits and they come
Speaker 1: out and they got the belt and the briefcase, and
Speaker 1: it's like it just got to a point where it
Speaker 1: just how long are we going to stretch this out
Speaker 1: for just to get to the big moment, right, you
Speaker 1: knew the big moment was going to come, whether it
Speaker 1: was Hangman or Osprey or Darby or whoever it was
Speaker 1: going to be. It's like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: just dreadful. In the second half of the year though,
Speaker 1: right the world title, they were away from the world
Speaker 1: title and Moxley was losing to this guy. He was
Speaker 1: losing to that guy. The blood and guts match stuff,
Speaker 1: the stuff with Kyle O'Reilly again where he's like teasing.
Speaker 1: He's just like definitely afraid of tapping out to him
Speaker 1: the way that he did to Darby, and they were
Speaker 1: telling a story with him. And then he has this
Speaker 1: Continental Classic, and then of course he has that match
Speaker 1: of Fletcher on Saturday, which was the match of the tournament.
Speaker 1: They fucking tore the house down. And so now I
Speaker 1: reflect back on this year now that it's over in
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and it's like I can sit here
Speaker 1: and say that there was a lot more from John
Speaker 1: Moxley in the second half that I either liked or
Speaker 1: could tolerate, a lot better than what we got in
Speaker 1: the first half, which was just fucking dreadful. And now
Speaker 1: as we head into the beginning of next year. Hopefully,
Speaker 1: hopefully what they're going to do with him, I guess
Speaker 1: is a baby face. Hopefully that we'll make for good television.
Speaker 1: Two week that's all I ask, Just give us good television.
Speaker 1: We don't get enough story told with the Death Writers though,
Speaker 1: as far as like interactions conversations between them, like you know,
Speaker 1: backstage John's screen. I know they do some social media
Speaker 1: stuff every now and then. I think it would be
Speaker 1: nice to have some of that featured on the actual
Speaker 1: television show, but they don't. They don't do that. You know,
Speaker 1: they come through the crowd and you'll get these promos
Speaker 1: like from Moxley where they're standing behind him and he's
Speaker 1: talking at us. He's talking to us, not so much
Speaker 1: interacting with the other members and kind of trying to
Speaker 1: flesh out the relationships between the different members of the group.
Speaker 1: I know some people are going to say, oh, that's
Speaker 1: a WWE thing. No, it's it's character building and storytelling
Speaker 1: is what it is. And I think it's okay, you know,
Speaker 1: to do some of that with the Death Writers. That's
Speaker 1: just something that they really haven't done a lot of.
Speaker 1: If that bothers you or offends you. I'm sorry. Happy
Speaker 1: New Year, and to a countdown clock. Check here what
Speaker 1: time is it? What time is it? It's twenty seven minutes
Speaker 1: until midnight. We are less than half.
Speaker 2: An hour away. Look at that.
Speaker 1: Marina Shaffir is the solo Socoa of the Death Riders. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, like what solo was to the original bloodline Shore.
Speaker 1: She's the silent one. She doesn't say a whole lot.
Speaker 1: That's about the only comparison between the two that makes
Speaker 1: sense to me. We had Ricochet out with the Gates
Speaker 1: of Agony to defend his national championship because now we
Speaker 1: have the international title, and we have the continental title.
Speaker 1: Now we have the national title because there's no more
Speaker 1: unified title. So he's defending the national title against jungle
Speaker 1: Jack Perry, who was out with Lucasaurus Total Leona and Lucasaurus.
Speaker 1: They had an early face off at ringside Bishop Kahn.
Speaker 1: He tripped up Jack Perry, which allowed Lucasaurus to go
Speaker 1: at him, but Leona attacked from behind. That distraction, though,
Speaker 1: gave Rikoshet a chance to send Perry outside and hit
Speaker 1: a dive. So after a break we were told that
Speaker 1: Total Leona had attacked Lucasaurus and took him backstage, very
Speaker 1: similar to what happened on the pre show on Saturday
Speaker 1: during the zero hour, so Ricochet wanted vertigo. Perry floated
Speaker 1: over and we got a series of switches that led
Speaker 1: to a comeback lariot by Perry for a close near fall.
Speaker 1: Later in the match, Perry signaled for his sacrifice knee. Ricoschet, though,
Speaker 1: took the referee and that allowed Bishop to trip up Perry,
Speaker 1: which gave Ricochet a chance to hit the spirit gun
Speaker 1: for the win. So Ricochet retains the national title. After
Speaker 1: the match was over totallyona, he carries Lucisaurus back out okay,
Speaker 1: onto the stage and is slamming a guardrail piece of
Speaker 1: like the guardrail is slamming it down on top of
Speaker 1: him and his left arm is outstretched, and they placed
Speaker 1: the guardrail over Lucisaurus's arm, and at that point in
Speaker 1: the ring, Ricochet hits Perry with another spat gun, this
Speaker 1: time from behind to the back of the head. So
Speaker 1: he knocks him out and he gives the high sign
Speaker 1: to goa like do it. And so at that point
Speaker 1: they I think it was Bishop who takes a steel
Speaker 1: chair and while the guardrail is laying down after it
Speaker 1: was slammed on top of Lucasaurus's left arm. He is
Speaker 1: repeatedly smacking the guardrail with a steel chair, and Lucasaurus
Speaker 1: is just he's screaming out in agony, and so a
Speaker 1: bunch of security geeks come out, and of course they
Speaker 1: get slammed onto the guardrail and in turn on Lucasaurus's arm,
Speaker 1: and he's screaming more. The match itself, the match was
Speaker 1: very much hampered by the interference. Constant interference by Goa
Speaker 1: basically ruined the match. I don't have a lot to
Speaker 1: say about the match itself as far as Lucasaurus is concerned. Again,
Speaker 1: if you miss the little update here at the beginning,
Speaker 1: he is hurt. According to fight Ful, he has a
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. I don't know how serious it is, but
Speaker 1: the fact that they did an angle to write him
Speaker 1: off of television tells me that he is going to
Speaker 1: be gone for some length of time. Whether that means
Speaker 1: surgery or not, I don't know. And it's too bad
Speaker 1: because they reunited, you know, Jurassic Express a few months ago, not.
Speaker 2: That long ago, and now all of a sudden he's
Speaker 2: out again.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had those very serious health issues where
Speaker 1: he almost died, and he missed a very long time
Speaker 1: and came back, and you know, I wouldn't say he's
Speaker 1: done a lot since he came back, but they just
Speaker 1: reunited these two, and so all of a sudden, Jack
Speaker 1: Perry is back to being a singles and I guess
Speaker 1: whatever plans Tony Kahan may have had for them in
Speaker 1: the tag team division, now that goes on the back burner.
Speaker 2: So all the best to Lucasaurus.
Speaker 1: I mean, again, we don't know how serious it is,
Speaker 1: but hopefully he's not gone for six months, you know,
Speaker 1: or anything like where Oscar is going to get very
Speaker 1: upset if that's the case. She's a big Lucasaurus fan. Yes, Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Wardlow does have company. I don't know what it is
Speaker 1: with the shoulders. I really don't. It's just this plague
Speaker 1: on wrestling, and we go through these phases where you
Speaker 1: hear about a lot of like ACL injuries, but lately
Speaker 1: it's like or maybe neck injuries, and lately it's shoulders.
Speaker 1: What is different now that wasn't the case a year ago,
Speaker 1: two years ago, three years ago, where we're reading about
Speaker 1: like half a dozen different reports over a period of
Speaker 1: a few months of shoulder injuries, some of which are
Speaker 1: serious enough to keep people out for months and have
Speaker 1: them undergo surgery. I don't know what the difference is now.
Speaker 1: Very strange. Rene was backstage with MJF asking how does
Speaker 1: it feel to have all of these contenders locked in
Speaker 1: on your aw world title. MJF said that he's about
Speaker 1: to make his first title reign look short in comparison
Speaker 1: to this one. So Brodido walked in and Brody King
Speaker 1: said that Bandido will make that triple be Bandido's big belt,
Speaker 1: and then they did their little handshake and the gun salute,
Speaker 1: and then off they went. Isn't that very similar to
Speaker 1: what the Gun Club does with the whole gun salute?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that was the end of that segment.
Speaker 1: MJY have did not do anything dastardly to Bandida. Maybe
Speaker 1: they're saving that for next week. And then they closed
Speaker 1: the show and their year with the TBS Championship on
Speaker 1: the line. Mercedes Monet defending against the former champion and
Speaker 1: one half of the women's tag team champions, Willow Nightingale.
Speaker 1: These two have had matches in the past and they
Speaker 1: work very well together. I mean, obviously, the first match
Speaker 1: they ever had is the one in h was in
Speaker 1: New Japan where god, I remember where they were working.
Speaker 1: It must have been had to be one of the
Speaker 1: New Japan shows out in California, I think, But that
Speaker 1: was the match where Mercedes got hurt. Actually, no, that
Speaker 1: would have been the match where I guess where they
Speaker 1: crowned the first ever God was it the new Japan
Speaker 1: Strong Women's Champion. I believe it was, and it was
Speaker 1: going to be Mercedes, but she got hurt during that match.
Speaker 1: But then the last match they had was really good.
Speaker 1: So you know, as far as the match, I was
Speaker 1: looking forward to it, I just was not expecting the
Speaker 1: title change to take place tonight. So she doesn't have
Speaker 1: as many men holding her titles. As she walks down
Speaker 1: to the room, there's still a lot of belts, but
Speaker 1: she shed a few recently, so Justin Roberts did the
Speaker 1: big fight introductions for this. Mercedes immediately hit a series
Speaker 1: of low drop kicks that sent Willow outside, and Mercedes
Speaker 1: opted to do her little Ceo dance outside before going
Speaker 1: for a meteora up against the barricade. And that was
Speaker 1: a mistake because Willow moved and her knees went directly
Speaker 1: into the barricade, and then she launched Monette into the
Speaker 1: railing with a pounce. So back inside, Willow cartwheeled out
Speaker 1: of the corner, hit an overhand shop and shotgun drop
Speaker 1: kick off the middle rope. There was a big cannonball
Speaker 1: in the corner and then Monette rolled outside, where Willow
Speaker 1: caught her with a cannonball off the apron to the floor.
Speaker 1: So they went to the final commercial break here of
Speaker 1: the show. Willow tried to spinebuster, Monette escaped and then charged,
Speaker 1: only to be launched with another pounce. Death Valley Driver connects,
Speaker 1: Monette kicks out it too. There was a backstabber that
Speaker 1: staggered Willow a little bit. Monette again charge ran right
Speaker 1: into a doctor bomb, but she got her foot on
Speaker 1: the ropes, so Nightingale went up top missed the moon
Speaker 1: salt and that gave Monet rather a chance to try
Speaker 1: frog splash. Willow got her knees up on the landing, though,
Speaker 1: so they go to the apron. Willow connects with a
Speaker 1: death Valley driver and she drops Mercedes, and it looked
Speaker 1: more like Mercedes hit the edge of the apron and
Speaker 1: then she lands on the floor outside and her head
Speaker 1: is underneath the ring skirt, so her head is underneath
Speaker 1: the ring, and I'm just thinking, man, I could just
Speaker 1: see her laying underneath the ring. Nobody can see her face,
Speaker 1: and she's just like fuck because the way she hit
Speaker 1: the edge of the ring, I'm sure that didn't feel
Speaker 1: too good. So Nightingale threw her lifeless body into the ring.
Speaker 1: Monette again rolled outside, So Willow decided, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go for another cannon ball
Speaker 1: off the apron. She went to it one too many times.
Speaker 1: She came flying off the apron. There was nobody home,
Speaker 1: and Willow went splat right on the ground. So Monette
Speaker 1: hit two of the three amigos on the floor, and
Speaker 1: Aubrey Edwards is in the ring and she's counting both women.
Speaker 1: Willow fought off a third amigo slammed Monnette into the apron.
Speaker 1: She broke the count to reset the count. Then she
Speaker 1: goes over and she starts cleaning off the announced desk.
Speaker 1: So Willow brings Monette up on top of the desk
Speaker 1: and Mercedes is begging off here. Willow was going to
Speaker 1: go for a doctor bomb on top of the desk,
Speaker 1: probably would have killed this woman. Monette got free and
Speaker 1: she ended up hitting a third suplex on the table,
Speaker 1: but the table did not break, and so Willow she
Speaker 1: landed hard and she kind of bounced off the table
Speaker 1: landed on the floor. Aubrey is putting the count on
Speaker 1: both women, and Willow ended up breaking the count just
Speaker 1: at the nine count, like almost ten. So both women
Speaker 1: are trading pen attempts. Monette tried for a statement maker,
Speaker 1: Willow powered to her feet, and Monette tried the Monette maker,
Speaker 1: but she got smashed into the corner repeatedly. Mercedes got
Speaker 1: a jackknife pin Willow. I thought she was going to
Speaker 1: bridge out of it. She didn't bridge out of it.
Speaker 1: Instead she rolled over and she just transitioned like smoothly
Speaker 1: into position for a doctor bomb, and she got Mercedes
Speaker 1: up for it. She dropped her with the doctor bomb
Speaker 1: and she got the one, two, three, And after five
Speaker 1: hundred eighty five days, Willow Nightingale has ended the TBS
Speaker 1: title reign the longest rain in an AW history with
Speaker 1: that belt of Mercedes Monette, the woman who beat her
Speaker 1: for it, she got her belt back and now she
Speaker 1: has two titles instead of one. So after the match,
Speaker 1: purple confetti is raining down. Harley Cameron runs out to
Speaker 1: celebrate with her partner Orange Cassidy and Jet Speed. They
Speaker 1: rush down to the ring to celebrate and hug Willow
Speaker 1: and Chris Statlander is in the ring. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: Chris Statlander's in the ring, So we have a little
Speaker 1: face off between the two, right, these two friends or
Speaker 1: former friends, and of course they end up everyone's.
Speaker 2: Saying hug it out.
Speaker 1: They end up hugging so Statlander, she's wearing a jacket,
Speaker 1: so she opens her jacket to show off her world title.
Speaker 2: Willow has her two titles.
Speaker 1: Mercedes is outside looking very dejected, and that is the
Speaker 1: parting scene here on the final episode of Dynamite. Here
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, it is a big celebration for
Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale. I knew there was a chance that this
Speaker 1: would happen, but I didn't think that it would.
Speaker 2: I thought they were.
Speaker 1: Going to wait until she dropped most or all of
Speaker 1: the other belts that she had, and then they were
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and do this. Now, when you think
Speaker 1: about it, and maybe this was their logic. She still
Speaker 1: has a lot of belts, and she's going to be
Speaker 1: doing a lot of traveling in twenty twenty six, and
Speaker 1: she's going to go to these different promotions. She may
Speaker 1: not even lose each of those titles. The next time
Speaker 1: she goes to each one. She may have a successful
Speaker 1: defense here and a successful defense there and then come
Speaker 1: back and lose the belt. So without knowing, because I'm
Speaker 1: sure Tony Kahan he may have in his head knew,
Speaker 1: Okay Willow is going to be the one that I
Speaker 1: want this belt back on eventually, and we're going to
Speaker 1: do it at the end of the year. He may
Speaker 1: have had all of this mapped out. What he does
Speaker 1: not have mapped out, because despite what other people may
Speaker 1: tell you, he does not control the booking in any
Speaker 1: of these independent promotions, is when this woman is going
Speaker 1: to necessarily lose each and every single one of these
Speaker 1: other titles. So instead of waiting for her to do so,
Speaker 1: which could take months, he decided, you know what, we're
Speaker 1: gonna change the title now. And if that's the case,
Speaker 1: I can understand it because then the title is not
Speaker 1: in this state of sort of arrested development where you know,
Speaker 1: you're kind of handcuffed because Mercedes has beaten almost everybody else,
Speaker 1: So what is she gonna do. She's had it for
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty five days, Does she hold it
Speaker 1: for another one hundred another two hundred three hundred days?
Speaker 1: Is she going to rain with this belt the way
Speaker 1: that Athena has rained with the Ring of Honor Women's belt?
Speaker 2: Like, at some point this shit has to.
Speaker 1: Come to an end, you know, whether you put the
Speaker 1: belt back on Willow or you try to get somebody
Speaker 1: new over, which is what I thought. Maybe they were
Speaker 1: going to try to do instead of putting it on
Speaker 1: like an obvious name, maybe they could have built somebody up.
Speaker 1: The name I threw out there was Queen am Mi Nada,
Speaker 1: you know, and she was starting to build up some
Speaker 1: momentum before she got hurt. Now she's hurt. She has
Speaker 1: a neck injury. I don't know how long she'll be
Speaker 1: out for. She was going to be in blooding guts,
Speaker 1: so maybe they were going to go with her. But
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't have an issue with Willow
Speaker 1: being the one. It's just I don't understand why then,
Speaker 1: if you knew this was the plan, why does she
Speaker 1: need two belts? Now? Like? Why did they need to
Speaker 1: win the tag team titles. If let's say Tony Kahan
Speaker 1: had this all mapped out, and I believe he had
Speaker 1: it mapped out at least for a couple of months,
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't know at the beginning of all this
Speaker 1: that Willow was going to be the one to get
Speaker 1: the belt back at the end of all this. But
Speaker 1: they only won the women's tag belts like a month ago.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why she had to win that if
Speaker 1: you knew you were going to put this belt on her,
Speaker 1: that's just I don't know. It seems unnecessary to me.
Speaker 1: We are going from one woman who had multiple championships
Speaker 1: and now we have another woman who has multiple championships,
Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, we have Bandido talking about it.
Speaker 1: He's going to be Bandido two belts. I mean, when
Speaker 1: did this become a regular thing where everybody has to
Speaker 1: have multiple belts, Like it should be reserved as a
Speaker 1: special thing for like one person every few years that
Speaker 1: they walk around with multiple championships. When you have multiple
Speaker 1: people who walk around with multiple championships, it loses a
Speaker 1: little bit of luster. But these two women went out there.
Speaker 1: They had a pay per view caliber main event, here
Speaker 1: on this show, they killed it, and I thought this
Speaker 1: match was a hell of a way for them to
Speaker 1: close out their twenty twenty five Take a look at
Speaker 1: the Twitter pulse if you guys chimed in here with
Speaker 1: your thoughts, what as you think of the final dynamite
Speaker 1: of the year. Sixty one point six percent thumbs up
Speaker 1: for tonight's show, seventeen point four percent thumbs in the middle,
Speaker 1: and about twenty one percent thumbs down.
Speaker 2: And those are the poll.
Speaker 1: Results so far as we count down, we got what
Speaker 1: we got about fifteen minutes, oh even less. Look at
Speaker 1: that twelve minutes to go. We have twelve minutes until
Speaker 1: we get to the new year. Yeah, I agree, Now
Speaker 1: Bandido is not getting a second belt, but even just
Speaker 1: teasing it, even just teasing Bendido two belts. Yes, I
Speaker 1: did not mean to imply that I thought Bandido is
Speaker 1: actually gonna beat MJF. There's a better chance of me
Speaker 1: beating MJF to become the aw World champion than Bandido
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. All right, so we got about
Speaker 1: eleven minutes to go. We'll break into some of your
Speaker 1: super chats and questions and comments here. We'll go back
Speaker 1: and forth, so we don't miss the big countdown here
Speaker 1: certainly don't want to do that. So if you're drinking tonight,
Speaker 1: you gotta get your champagne or maybe you got some,
Speaker 1: a little bit of the bubbly, you got some. I
Speaker 1: don't know, zema. What do people drink nowadays? Mike's hard lemonade,
Speaker 1: Jack and coke, bud light, a real American bit and
Speaker 1: that don't drink the real American beer, stone cold ipa,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Get it ready, Docs in the
Speaker 1: Central time zone. All right, so you're well, we got
Speaker 1: people also on the West coast, so it's not gonna.
Speaker 2: Be New Year's for them for a few more hours.
Speaker 1: That's okay. You can pretend when we hit in mid
Speaker 1: night here, you can pretend tone VC, says gentleman Jack.
Speaker 1: Neat that works, Blue Moon, you got, we got some
Speaker 1: variety here. Drink milk like hurt Angle, says Blissphan. Hey,
Speaker 1: shout out to Venom, Happy New Year, Venom. He's out
Speaker 1: in a he's out in the desert. He's out in Nevada.
Speaker 1: I thought Zema was still a thing or was making
Speaker 1: a comeback. Hard black cherry cider. That's interesting, High West
Speaker 1: Ray whiskey.
Speaker 2: Look at this guy, sparkling water.
Speaker 1: Street Fighter says, I'll have my sparkling water because I'm
Speaker 1: fancy cannabis. Not exactly a beverage, but okay, whatever whatever
Speaker 1: works for you. Hey, Joseph Stewart, I don't think he's
Speaker 1: with us live. Today is actually Joseph Stewart's birthday, and
Speaker 1: so obviously he's been a big supporter these last few months.
Speaker 1: So wherever he may be right now, let us all
Speaker 1: wish him a very happy birthday. Happy birthday, Joseph, I
Speaker 1: hope you have a very good twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Chosoh Warrior, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Man? Shout out to you as well. By the way,
Speaker 1: on the WWE Vault channel, they uploaded a almost thirty
Speaker 1: minute Ultimate Warrior rare footage compilation. Is actually pretty entertaining
Speaker 1: to go to go watch if you're into that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. They actually have backstage never before seen like
Speaker 1: not even bloopers, but just like from the filming of
Speaker 1: some of the vignettes with him and Jake Roberts, Like
Speaker 1: I love shit like that. Like to me when this
Speaker 1: Vault channel first launch, like that's the kind of shit
Speaker 1: that I wanted to see more of So.
Speaker 2: Have I ever had sake?
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I've had saki bombs and they've fucked me
Speaker 1: up quite a bit, but that was many years ago,
Speaker 1: not recently. I haven't had sak recently. Pepsi clear? Why
Speaker 1: does that evil still exist? Well, your first mistake was
Speaker 1: drinking pepsi. What is the worst match of twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1: Brack Lesner and John Cena wrestled Paloozer. There's your worst match? Hey,
Speaker 1: David Rice activated Supersena with a ten spot? Thank you, David.
Speaker 1: Did I have zema with my club shirt?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I've never had zema in my life. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: caught dead drinking zema. It might be a good wrestler name,
Speaker 1: but not something I would ever drink. Pepsi is sweeter
Speaker 1: than coke and therefore better. Yeah, but it doesn't taste
Speaker 1: as good though crystal pepsi was a recipe for diabetes.
Speaker 2: Is AW still a company in three years? Yes?
Speaker 1: Come on, don't ask dumb questions. They got enough money
Speaker 1: behind it. It ain't going nowhere for a while. All right,
Speaker 1: six minutes to go. Let me take a look at
Speaker 1: some of these, Joseph. I promise, I promise you brother,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run through yours here in a little bit.
Speaker 2: Uh bass. Barris shout out to Joe Stu.
Speaker 1: I don't know who Joe Stue is, but shout out
Speaker 1: to him. Phil says, what the fuck Mercedes actually lost?
Speaker 1: Was not expecting that. Also, Wheeler da sucks stuffs VIDs
Speaker 1: what the dinosaur's least favorite reindeer comet? Did you hear
Speaker 1: the news that six Science has died? They mixed the
Speaker 1: DNA of a crab and a cheetah. Things went sideways
Speaker 1: real fast. How do you cancel an appointment with the
Speaker 1: sperm bank? You call them and say I can't come. Finally, finally,
Speaker 1: I was waiting. It's like a drought and you finally
Speaker 1: got a good one there. The Bearded Elf sixty nine
Speaker 1: been a fan for a couple of years. First time
Speaker 1: writing on here. Hope your New Year's Eve is going well.
Speaker 1: My question is if owen Hart did not pass away
Speaker 1: and did the gimmick that he did, would he have
Speaker 1: been a future WWE champion. No, owen Hart was not
Speaker 1: going to be w W champion. If owen Hart was
Speaker 1: ever going to be w W champion, he had two
Speaker 1: opportunities for it. One was in ninety four where he
Speaker 1: could have beaten Brett before SummerSlam, in that little summer
Speaker 1: period between King of the Ring when he won and
Speaker 1: SummerSlam where he lost in the cage, he could have
Speaker 1: won it even if it was on like a live
Speaker 1: event or something, and then it was like, oh, shocking,
Speaker 1: breaking news. You know, Owen beat Brett short of that,
Speaker 1: or when he first came back in ninety seven when
Speaker 1: he went after Shawn Michaels, but that was also never
Speaker 1: really realistically going to happen. Like he was not going
Speaker 1: to win the world title intercontinental. He was going to
Speaker 1: win that the night he died. But world champion now, now,
Speaker 1: it's funny if Owen Owen, it's almost as if he
Speaker 1: was a little ahead of his time in this way.
Speaker 1: If Owen was still young enough to be active, like
Speaker 1: really active during that period in like the mid two
Speaker 1: thousands where they split the brands and they had two
Speaker 1: world titles, I would have a different answer for you,
Speaker 1: and I would say, you know what, I could see
Speaker 1: Owen as a world heavyweight champion, But Owen hard is
Speaker 1: the WWF champion at that time that he was active. No,
Speaker 1: he was never going to happen. Great as he was,
Speaker 1: they were never going to put the belt on him, right,
Speaker 1: So we got the three minute warning here, three minute warning.
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Jamal and Rosie. It's almost midnight.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: The whole point is to make it till midnight. That's
Speaker 1: the whole point. We're almost there. Shout out to Falcon Star,
Speaker 1: says ringing in the new Year with the monster. That's right,
Speaker 1: that is right. Happy New Year, Falcon Star. We got
Speaker 1: Andrew says, eat your heart at Ryan Seacrest, we got
Speaker 1: Tayte the Savior. Happy New Year, Solo, cheers to twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. Happy New Year. Duffs VIDs says, I asked
Speaker 1: a German girl for her phone number, and I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for the rest. So far, all I have is nine.
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but that's gonna that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the last Duff's joke here of the year. I wish,
Speaker 1: I wish you were going out on a higher note,
Speaker 1: but we got one minute to go. Am I gonna
Speaker 1: do my predictions for the new year.
Speaker 2: It's a direction you can fuck.
Speaker 1: It's right there, you go. I didn't say it, he
Speaker 1: said it. I didn't say it. I mentioned it on
Speaker 1: the podcast this weekend this Sunday. Predictions will be on
Speaker 1: the podcast this Sunday, so you want to tune into
Speaker 1: that one. That'll be the first show of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: We are thirty seconds away. Yes, indeed, here we go,
Speaker 1: all excited, all excited. We got ten seconds to go.
Speaker 1: Here we go, everybody. This is it right here, six five,
Speaker 1: four three two, And a very happy new year to
Speaker 1: all of you, as I welcome you all to two
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty six. See now this was a three
Speaker 1: D stream be coming right out at you.
Speaker 2: That's right, oh man.
Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, cheers to all of you, and
Speaker 1: a very happy new year.
Speaker 2: Happy new year, pale. Oh man.
Speaker 1: You know, I can't believe that we've been doing this
Speaker 1: for six years in a row. And I think it
Speaker 1: all started with that to hell with twenty twenty stream
Speaker 1: after COVID, it was like, man, we have to end
Speaker 1: this year like together, because everybody was just sort of
Speaker 1: still locked down at that point, and that's really what
Speaker 1: sort of was the genesis of all this. Here we are,
Speaker 1: we're still doing it. I love it, I love it.
Speaker 1: Look at this. You got a whole confetti bath here
Speaker 1: just for you, guys, just for you, the New Year's
Speaker 1: baby here. You got everything, you got everything. Oh man,
Speaker 1: So now we begin anew. This is officially now the
Speaker 1: first stream of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: We had the.
Speaker 1: Final stream of last year, and now we have the
Speaker 1: first stream of this year. And there'll be many more
Speaker 1: to come, and hopefully you will spend all of those
Speaker 1: streams right here with me every Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
Speaker 1: and of course for select pay per views as well.
Speaker 1: We flip back over here to your super chats so
Speaker 1: we can continue to hang out here for a little bit,
Speaker 1: and I will read your messages here because we got
Speaker 1: more messages coming in. Hey, Elijah McCovey, thank you for subbing.
Speaker 1: I think you are officially the first sub of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. Hopefully you will enjoy your stay. Bryant Finley says, so,
Speaker 1: Willow winning is a bad decision. Hold on, let me
Speaker 1: move this up here. Willow winning is a bad decision.
Speaker 1: Yet another dual champion. She gains nothing from beating Mercedes
Speaker 1: and no proper build up to it. Athena or Billy
Speaker 1: Starks would have made much more sense. Yeah, well, I've
Speaker 1: given up on them. Getting that other fucking title off
Speaker 1: Athena Billy Starks. Billy Starks has not been established on
Speaker 1: AW television, so it would almost be like starting from
Speaker 1: scratch with her. And if that means another four months
Speaker 1: of Mercedes as the champion, and then you know what, probably.
Speaker 2: Better to get the belt off of her.
Speaker 1: Now it'll be more important to see ultimately who Willow
Speaker 1: drops the belt to, like what I presume heel. I
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't have to be a heel, but like
Speaker 1: if they wanted, let's say, to build to Athena finally
Speaker 1: making it to the AW roster and dropping the Roh
Speaker 1: belt and Athena beating Willow. That works too, but you know,
Speaker 1: it could be it could be anybody. But we don't
Speaker 1: need another five hundred days, four hundred days, three hundred days.
Speaker 1: Like we don't need that again. Michael Miranda here in Arizona,
Speaker 1: appreciate you and the content it says. Be safe out there.
Speaker 1: Happy new year, Happy new year, Michael. It's not the
Speaker 1: new year yet for Michael. He's out in Arizona, fallen exposure.
Speaker 1: Thanks for all the work you do. Enjoy a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee and have a blessed new year. Not a
Speaker 1: coffee guy, but I will I will salute you with
Speaker 1: what I have here, which is not coffee.
Speaker 3: My curiosity is killing me, just like a can't would
Speaker 3: be killed the curiosity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bender mc simpson, thank you for that thirteen dollars
Speaker 1: drop actually at eleven out of fifteen on the bonus goal.
Speaker 1: Matt scales with an Australian fifteen says happy new solo.
Speaker 1: It's eleven forty six am on New Year's Day in oz.
Speaker 1: Thank you for all your content and the hard work. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Matt. It's a place that I would I
Speaker 1: would have loved to have gone to. It seems like
Speaker 1: a beautiful place, but I can never do it because
Speaker 1: of all the little creepy crawlies there. Every It's like
Speaker 1: every video I see on like ig or TikTok or
Speaker 1: wherever it may be, like spiders, and I'm like, oh my,
Speaker 1: I cannot. I just cannot. I cannot deal with that.
Speaker 1: I don't know some of the things I see in
Speaker 1: these videos from down Under. I'm telling you, man scares
Speaker 1: the Bejesus out of me. Power Spying Games three forty
Speaker 1: eight am in London is I will try to stay
Speaker 1: awake tonight.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you made.
Speaker 3: It or not.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you did. Happy New Year, Power Spying Games Emperor comment,
Speaker 1: Happy new Year to all. I hope whatever struggles everyone
Speaker 1: had in twenty twenty five stays in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: That's a great message. I agree, Jamie dorsh All the
Speaker 1: best in twenty twenty six, Solemn Monster. What is the
Speaker 1: best and worst Austin Rock match? Well, I mean the
Speaker 1: best one. I think it's a pretty consensus pick that
Speaker 1: the the best one is WrestleMania is seventeen. Although I
Speaker 1: honestly don't think they ever had a bad match. I
Speaker 1: enjoyed their Backlash match, which was the rematch from wrestle
Speaker 1: Media fifteen. Even the wrestle Media fifteen matches, it's a
Speaker 1: good match. But seventeen would be the best and the
Speaker 1: worst one. You know what the worst one would be
Speaker 1: Probably they had a match on Rawn ninety not on Row.
Speaker 1: They had a match in ninety seven at the DX
Speaker 1: in your House pay per view where Austin never took
Speaker 1: his best off until the match was over. It was
Speaker 1: the one where he backdropped Dilo Brown onto the windshield
Speaker 1: of the car at ringside that wasn't much of a match.
Speaker 1: I'll call that one the worst. That Ian joke is old.
Speaker 1: I heard it as a child. Yes, these jokes have
Speaker 1: been around for ages. So where does he get them from?
Speaker 1: Before I get too deep into all the newer ones,
Speaker 1: let me just go back and just zip through the
Speaker 1: Joseph ones. I don't know if I have answers for
Speaker 1: all of his questions, but let me at least try
Speaker 1: to tackle these, and then we'll get back to yours again.
Speaker 2: Today's his birthday.
Speaker 1: It's happy birthday to Joseph, and he says, happy heavenly
Speaker 1: birthday to Val Kilmer. I did not know that. I
Speaker 1: am not familiar with the Treasure Island movie with Tim Curry.
Speaker 1: Do I remember the Muppet Baby's TV? Oh? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: used to actually watch that sometimes. I still have the
Speaker 1: jingle in my head for Muppet Babies. Do I remember
Speaker 1: the count from Sesame Street? Of course? A no, nothing,
Speaker 1: he says. Do you remember Cookie Monster singing? See it's yes,
Speaker 1: I do. Do you remember uh the Bird Move?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, that movie is something I watched as a child.
Speaker 1: Uh grouch Light Now I don't remember that one now,
Speaker 1: the one from seventy nine, that's a No, Thomas the Train, Yes,
Speaker 1: the Ringo Star one. No, I'm not familiar with that. One.
Speaker 1: Favorite Jack Nicholson movies, I don't know about ten of them,
Speaker 1: but I mean, obviously The Shining is a classic. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that one's my favorite. Actually, him as the
Speaker 1: Joker and Burton's Batman is pretty goaded as far as
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. Well, then you got like a few good
Speaker 1: men and he was in the Departed. Yeah, he departed.
Speaker 2: Those are the Irishman?
Speaker 1: Have I seen it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I did. I did see The Irishman. Have I seen
Speaker 1: the Michael Keaton movie Johnny Dangerously? Danny DeVito is in
Speaker 1: the movie as well.
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you for reminding me. One Flew Over the
Speaker 1: Cuckoo's Nest. Actually, that one I might go with that
Speaker 1: one is my favorite.
Speaker 2: That's actually a very good movie. It's very depressing movie.
Speaker 1: But did I know? Oh no, he's back. Wow, he's back,
Speaker 1: twisted rister with a twelve dollars learning tree. You have
Speaker 1: to say departed in a Boston accent, the padded He
Speaker 1: was in the depadded?
Speaker 2: Yeahppy, Now.
Speaker 1: Did I know Danny Devino and Danny de Vito and
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson were friends in real life. I'm sure most
Speaker 1: of those guys are friends in real life. Probably go
Speaker 1: bang in the same women back then. Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 1: Danny DeVito. I like Stallone Schwarzenegger to pour. Danny DeVito's
Speaker 1: in the corner, probably videotaping all of it. Where do
Speaker 1: you rank the Jack Nicholson and Danny de Vito Hoffa
Speaker 1: movie in your list of favorite Jack Nicholson movies. It's
Speaker 1: not one of my favorites. Next year, in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: Pokemon is going to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was not a bit I'm not a big Pokemon guy.
Speaker 1: I've told the story of when I was a camp
Speaker 1: counselor and it was really blowing up. Everybody would bring
Speaker 1: their Pokemon cards in and I would just confiscate all
Speaker 1: of them, like, you're not here to play fucking Pokemon cards.
Speaker 1: Give me all of your cards. They are not allowed.
Speaker 1: Those are the rules.
Speaker 2: You got to enforce the rules.
Speaker 1: If no one enforces the rules, we have anarchy, and
Speaker 1: we cannot have anarchy. Or was I a Pokemon fan
Speaker 1: and if so, who is your favorite Pokemon? I was not,
Speaker 1: But if I had to go with one. I'll go
Speaker 1: with Pikachuu. Hey, Jared Ransom, He's gonna sound off Superstar
Speaker 1: Welcome Jared. Which wrestler do you think will make a
Speaker 1: great Jack Nicholson if they made a movie on him,
Speaker 1: John Moxley, Randy Orton or Kurt Angle? John Moxley, actually,
Speaker 1: you know, John Boxley. Out of those three would probably
Speaker 1: be my pick. None of them would be a good choice.
Speaker 1: But if I had to choose between those three, I
Speaker 1: would go Kurt Angle would not make a good Jack Nicholson.
Speaker 1: Did you know Haffe and Batman Returns came out the
Speaker 1: same year and Danny DeVito was in both movies and
Speaker 1: did not know that? And that Joseph ends, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for the birthday wishes, Sola, Monster and everyone.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it so much. Have a blessed, safe
Speaker 1: and wonderful New Year you as well, Joe's you as well,
Speaker 1: my friend. I wish you all the best. We have
Speaker 1: Samash Pendergrass with a twenty dollars super chats. Yes, Sidra
Speaker 1: makes a good point that supposedly, as of seventeen minutes ago,
Speaker 1: bris Jericho is a free agent for the first time
Speaker 1: in what six years, is Paul Leveck already on the
Speaker 1: phone with him as we speak. Are they having that
Speaker 1: phone conversation right now ironing out the details for Monday
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn?
Speaker 2: Is that what's going on?
Speaker 1: Says I understand the climate is better for wrestlers in
Speaker 1: terms of salary and working now, but fifteen to eighteen,
Speaker 1: I guess he means twenty fifteen to twenty eighteen, wrestling
Speaker 1: truly felt alive. Wrestle Kingdom setting the bar of the
Speaker 1: wrestling year, Ring of Honor, PWG, the takeovers at NXT
Speaker 1: and SmackDown was fire. There was a lot to like
Speaker 1: about wrestling during those periods, not necessarily in WWE, you know,
Speaker 1: but there Look at that point New Japan. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: would have been firing on all cylinders back then. That
Speaker 1: was right in the middle of that. Tanahashi and Okada
Speaker 1: run there for both of them. In Nito, ROH was
Speaker 1: still its own independent thing. PWG was doing its thing,
Speaker 1: and the takeovers were fucking amazing. So you're not wrong.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Solo, Love you brother. What in the
Speaker 1: world are you wearing? It's called a shirt stadium j
Speaker 1: Get with the program, brother. You know, when it comes
Speaker 1: to these special occasions. You can't dress like a fucking
Speaker 1: slob like a lot of other people do on YouTube.
Speaker 1: I'm no slob, I'm no solo snob. Somebody has to
Speaker 1: set an example around this set, this freaking vast wasteland
Speaker 1: here that we stream in. Duffsvid says, what's a crackhead's
Speaker 1: favorite song?
Speaker 2: I want a rock.
Speaker 1: Thank you Death's fits, Toya, happy news, You're solo all
Speaker 1: the best in twenty twenty six, Same to you, Toya,
Speaker 1: Smelly wrestling geek. Don't forget MJF has the hurt business
Speaker 1: to think about as well. Yeah, I mean he really doesn't.
Speaker 1: Because Bobby Lashley is out. I mean, I guess Shelton
Speaker 1: could come after him, but I don't see that happening.
Speaker 1: The story that the match really would have been MJF
Speaker 1: and Lashly and Lashly being gone now for however many months,
Speaker 1: It just there's no point and even there's no point
Speaker 1: in it now, Duffsvid says, how are Hillbilly's children tak
Speaker 1: to wear their underwear yellow in the front, brown in
Speaker 1: the back. Happy New Year's solo and chat Happy New Year.

Speaker 1: then you you launched into the fiend there. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to take that back. Now, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: throw you into the interrogation room. That's what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to do. Duffs VID's what's the best part of
Speaker 1: having a twin spare parts the ufmanten. Basically, Bendido said
Speaker 1: that he will be the first Mexican born aw champion.
Speaker 1: It's a direction you can fuck And that was mjf's
Speaker 1: respect to that comment from Bandido, but he says that
Speaker 1: was the gist of his promo. He was all fired
Speaker 1: up when he said it, so he said it with
Speaker 1: great conviction. I just I didn't know what he was
Speaker 1: actually saying, but thank you for the translation. Just cruise,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year's Solo. Thanks for everything you do. I
Speaker 1: don't reach out often. Wanted to share my occasional thanks
Speaker 1: from under the van Wick. Your content has been a
Speaker 1: presence for me for almost a decade.
Speaker 2: Wishing the best, I wish the best to you.
Speaker 1: I do not wish the best to the Van Wick,
Speaker 1: which I will have to ride the next time I
Speaker 1: go to the House of Glory show. It's always the
Speaker 1: bane of my existence. I try to get on that
Speaker 1: service road as quickly as possible and just ride that
Speaker 1: all the way down. That's a narrow fucking service road too.
Speaker 1: But if I can get off by exit three, I
Speaker 1: just ride my way the rest of the way to
Speaker 1: the NYC Arena.
Speaker 2: I do not like the Benwick Duffs VIDs.
Speaker 1: What do you call a disabled supermodel hot wheels? Hey, Gabriella,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I wish you a very happy
Speaker 1: New Year. Sidro says, did you lift your left leg
Speaker 1: before the New Year? Oh? He was so embarrassed by
Speaker 1: his own joke he retracted it before I could finish it.
Speaker 1: He was so ashamed, so ashamed by his horrible joke,
Speaker 1: that he removed it. He couldn't bear the thought of
Speaker 1: me reading the rest of it. But Juliette says, here's
Speaker 1: a bre mode to get us closer to the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six be the booker goal. Happy new Year and
Speaker 1: congrats to Willow were becoming the double champion. Yes, so
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier Willow Nightingale the new TBS champion. We've
Speaker 1: got Elijah Davis just saying happy New Year to everyone.
Speaker 1: I mean the middle of a forty eight hour shift,
Speaker 1: so I'm not going home anytime soon. Glad I can
Speaker 1: ring in the new year here. Wow, that's rough. Forty
Speaker 1: eight hour shift is no fun, but I'm glad you
Speaker 1: could ring the.
Speaker 2: New year in with all of us.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy about that. We got the Mount Vernon
Speaker 1: Kidd Christopher Bennett a twenty twenty five recap here on YouTube.
Speaker 1: These are my top five watch channels. Number one, well,
Speaker 1: I mean number one, and number two doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1: Number three Centepals, I'll accept that Number four is the
Speaker 1: solemn monster. Sounds off. We got to work on that
Speaker 1: next year. We got to work on getting that up
Speaker 1: to number one in twenty twenty six. Number five just ash.
Speaker 1: I'll allow cinepals, you can forget the rest. Paul Carpenter,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year's Can I get a happy birthday? Also?
Speaker 1: My boss won't let me go home to enjoy. Well
Speaker 1: you new year's workers. Be safe. Yes, happy birthday, Paul.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the magic number is, but I
Speaker 1: hope that this birthday is very good to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody should be working forty eight hours straight. That should
Speaker 1: be against the law, and probably in some states it is.
Speaker 1: Thomas Solo. I'm drunk. Here's five bucks. I will take
Speaker 1: that five bucks. You won't remember giving it to me,
Speaker 1: but I will happily accept it. Jane Love first count
Speaker 1: of seven thousand for Revolution six thousand four Dynasty.
Speaker 2: I assume that means attendance.
Speaker 1: That's not bad, considering Revolution is still two and a
Speaker 1: half months away. In Dynasty. I don't know what is
Speaker 1: the date of Dynasty. It's got to be in April,
Speaker 1: so that's not bad. You know what happens a lot
Speaker 1: with these aw shows When they run these venues, they
Speaker 1: usually do nine, ten to eleven thousand, but like a
Speaker 1: week before the show, ten days before the show, they've
Speaker 1: got like six thousand, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: there's like this last minute surge and they end up
Speaker 1: getting to like eight, nine thou ten thousand. That's what happened.
Speaker 1: I think when they did Full Gear in New Jersey and.
Speaker 2: Then they're gonna be back at Wembley in August.
Speaker 1: The first Wembley Show they did between seventy and eighty k.
Speaker 1: The last one did about fifty. This year's Wembley Show
Speaker 1: will not hit fifty. It'll be lower again. But the
Speaker 1: question is, because it's always the law of diminishing returns,
Speaker 1: but the question is can they still keep it in
Speaker 1: that forty to fifty range? That's the question. Wichita Workhorse,
Speaker 1: That's that's my boy, Clayton.
Speaker 2: I know that name. I'm drinking water and broth.
Speaker 1: Tonight says getting over a bad stomach virus.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1: As I watched nineteen ninety Great American Bash today. I
Speaker 1: mentioned this the other night on the on the WWE
Speaker 1: Vault channel. They have a Golden Arrow watch party. It's
Speaker 1: been going on all week. I assume it's going to
Speaker 1: run probably through the weekend. And you know, it loops.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like it's fresh content for the
Speaker 1: whole week. I think they've already looped the nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: Royal Rumble about fifteen times. But it's a Royal rumbles.
Speaker 1: So if you want something else to watch. Go check
Speaker 1: that out. During Dynamite, I dropped in on it to
Speaker 1: see what was on. They were showing stuff from WrestleMania
Speaker 1: three and does z Paul SENTI WWE two K fourteen
Speaker 1: Symposium is the most classic drunken mess in WWE history.
Speaker 1: If Flair were not there, would Jr. Still be at WWE?
Speaker 1: I don't think he would be by now. He would
Speaker 1: have been there longer than he was, but at this
Speaker 1: point I don't think. I don't think he would be there.
Speaker 1: If it wasn't that, it would have been something else.
Speaker 1: I think they probably wanted him out of there. Honestly,
Speaker 1: they were just looking for an excuse to get rid
Speaker 1: of him. Shawnee in the Wrestling Happy New Year solo,
Speaker 1: thanks for bringing the best and most consistent part of
Speaker 1: my or being the most he said, bring the best
Speaker 1: and most consistent part of my week. Here's the Vault
Speaker 1: releasing Jake Roberts DDT on Hogan in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think that we're ever going to
Speaker 1: see it. I really, I really don't. I was kind
Speaker 1: of hoping that it would be part of the video
Speaker 1: they released.
Speaker 3: The other day.
Speaker 2: They put out a.
Speaker 1: Thirty minute compilation of some of the biggest WWE talk
Speaker 1: show moments. So of course the barbershop incident is on
Speaker 1: there Piper's Pit, not the one with Snooka, but the
Speaker 1: one where Andre confronts Hogan and challenges him for WrestleMania.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, we got three pages of horror.
Speaker 2: What is the B to B?
Speaker 1: Somebody let him know what be the booker is and
Speaker 1: shout out to our good friends at Reality of Wrestling.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to all the folks at ROW Booker
Speaker 1: t everybody there. You got a lot of good people there,
Speaker 1: even Zillah or a Crown Jewel Champion in House of
Speaker 1: Glory an r ow Alum. But yeah, all of the
Speaker 1: Row folks, including Brad. Shout out to Brad. I hope
Speaker 1: you have a very happy New Year, my friend. I
Speaker 1: hope everything is going well. I know Brad Gilmour is
Speaker 1: gonna blow it up bigger than ever in twenty twenty six. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in that video, now, they didn't They didn't include the
Speaker 1: funeral parlor where Warrior got locked in the casket. They
Speaker 1: included the one where Jake slammed the lid of the
Speaker 1: casket on Jake's hand, They included the Brother Love Show
Speaker 1: where Earthquake squashed Hogan and the Brother Love Show where
Speaker 1: Rick Martel sprayed arrogance in Jake's eyes. There were a
Speaker 1: lot that there was a lot that got left out.
Speaker 1: I was kind of hoping. I didn't necessarily expect it,
Speaker 1: but I was kind of hoping that maybe they would
Speaker 1: include the Jake Hogan thing from I had to be
Speaker 1: filmed in eighty six. But you know, ever since they
Speaker 1: released the Brett Hart Tom McGee match, this is now like,
Speaker 1: this is the one, This is the one that this
Speaker 1: is the rare footage that everybody is waiting on that
Speaker 1: I don't know that we're ever going to get to see,
Speaker 1: assuming they didn't delete that shit. Vince was like, immediately
Speaker 1: destroy that footage so that it never sees the light
Speaker 1: of day. Oh man, did they include the one where
Speaker 1: Brother Love introduced Paul Bear. No, No, there's a lot
Speaker 1: that was not included in that. It would have been
Speaker 1: like a two hour video if they included everything in there.
Speaker 1: We got Boss Toys with the Here we go with
Speaker 1: the Man. This list is so long. Here uh, Here's
Speaker 1: to a bigger and better year. And speaking of the
Speaker 1: new year, Moxley should lock Wheeler Da into the briefcase
Speaker 1: for a few months like he did he did.
Speaker 2: With the aw title.
Speaker 1: I bet he'll even get cheer for it, you know what. Okay, Hey,
Speaker 1: Sidrow and Dubbs, how come you're not coming up with
Speaker 1: jokes like this?
Speaker 2: That was the best joke yet.
Speaker 1: You guys are supposed to be the joke experts, and
Speaker 1: he just beats you with that one joke. I agree,
Speaker 1: by the way, he should stuff Wheeler you to in
Speaker 1: the briefcase and and leave him in there for a
Speaker 1: few months. Oh man, it'd be.
Speaker 2: The biggest baby face in the company.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: The d Harris Brand.
Speaker 1: Says, no, buddy, not a soul, and then Brett Hart
Speaker 1: says in twenty twenty five, hey y'all, Vincent Sean, we're
Speaker 1: fucking happy. Twenty twenty six, Hey Brett, look Brett, Brett.
Speaker 1: Brett says, what's on his mind?
Speaker 2: Bobby's World?
Speaker 1: Happy New Year solo and everybody, Yes, Happy New Year
Speaker 1: to Bobby's World. Jeremy Rose says, do you think Vince
Speaker 1: would have fumbled Sena's retirement as bad as Triple H?
Speaker 1: I know you have much disdain for Vince, but all
Speaker 1: the BS stuff aside, I think he would have given
Speaker 1: Sena a better final year even at his old senile age.
Speaker 1: I think he would have too because I think that Vince.
Speaker 1: We know, Vince and Sena are still very good friends,
Speaker 1: and Vince thinks the world of him, So I actually
Speaker 1: think he probably would have gotten a better retirement run
Speaker 1: under Vince than he did under Triple H. With that
Speaker 1: being said, I'm very happy that Vince was not back
Speaker 1: to book it because Vince does not need to be back.
Speaker 1: Tone C says Happy New Year, Solo, Happy new Year, brother,
Speaker 1: the average grunt. Happy new year to you as well.

Speaker 1: as you check all those boxes and you you really,
Speaker 1: you know, you get your mindset on it, and you
Speaker 1: got a battle plan for it, then attack it. Man.

Speaker 1: Bender mc simpson, Happy New Year, solo and chat, buy
Speaker 1: or sell. Becky Lynch is a face or a heel
Speaker 1: plucky babyface. Slash the Man versus Big Time Beck's current
Speaker 1: paranoid bes. I think that the version of Becky that
Speaker 1: we've had this year is probably the best work that
Speaker 1: she's ever done. I mean she I think she was
Speaker 1: pretty instrumental, honestly and helping to get Lyra over the hump.
Speaker 1: She was kind of like she was like right right there,
Speaker 1: but not really where she needed to be. And I
Speaker 1: think by working with Becky, Becky helped get her there.
Speaker 1: And she's trying to do the same thing now with Maxine,
Speaker 1: and the jury is out on whether or not it's
Speaker 1: gonna work, but I mean they're doing everything they need
Speaker 1: to be doing as far as Maxine is concerned. You know,
Speaker 1: they they did vignettes for her, They're giving her live
Speaker 1: mic time in the ring, they put a belt on
Speaker 1: her again. I don't know if it's gonna work, but
Speaker 1: you know, Becky working with Becky can only be of
Speaker 1: help to her.
Speaker 2: Bobby's World had to drop in in time for the countdown.

Speaker 1: wanted to wish the Monster and the sound Off family
Speaker 1: a happy new year. Thank you for the support, and
Speaker 1: I hope Jason and I are making you guys proud
Speaker 1: with TNT. Love you brother. Yes, indeed, we had what
Speaker 1: I believe to be our longest watch time yet for
Speaker 1: a TNT last night, almost an hour. So like if
Speaker 1: you if you live stream and if you do content
Speaker 1: like that on YouTube, you know, watch time, the average
Speaker 1: viewer time is one of the key metrics that you
Speaker 1: look at. It's like pretention time. You know, how long
Speaker 1: are people sticking around for? And I think it was
Speaker 1: fifty eight minutes. It's a long fucking time like that.
Speaker 1: That's that's a high number. So we're very proud of that.
Speaker 1: And the way things have been going on Tuesdays has
Speaker 1: been tremendous. So we both thank all of you for that,
Speaker 1: and here's to blowing it up even bigger and better
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: We know we will. It's not a matter of it.
Speaker 1: It's a matter of just when and what that looks like.
Speaker 1: But we will be doing that. So yes, right back
Speaker 1: at you, my friend, you got to have a couple
Speaker 1: more of those old fashions. I'm at four. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's very disappointing. I'm very sad we didn't
Speaker 1: have any JD from Utah making appearances tonight. I guess
Speaker 1: technically though it's not New Year's yet in Utah.
Speaker 2: Hulkling ninety three.
Speaker 1: With a ten as a drink My Bailey, as I
Speaker 1: drink my boy, A lot of you are fucking like
Speaker 1: just like completely shit faced tonight. I'm trying to read
Speaker 1: some of these and they don't make any sense. As
Speaker 1: a drink My Bailey's Happy New Year solo. This is
Speaker 1: a prime opportunity, can't even speak, opportunity for Mercedes to
Speaker 1: truly evolve her persona. Of the four horse women, Bailey
Speaker 1: and Becky have made the most attempts at evolving their persona.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you on that. I think that
Speaker 1: Becky Becky is number one when it comes to that.
Speaker 1: See Wressell Rans, He knows good Fashion. Thank you Wreussell
Speaker 1: Rans JR vasher Happy New Year Sola Monster, We Love
Speaker 1: you solo, Thank you Jr.
Speaker 2: Good Old Jr. I love to hear that.
Speaker 1: Thank you. We got Chris from the Near Fall podcast.
Speaker 1: It says, what's up, Happy New Year to you and
Speaker 1: your family. As the clock strikes midnight in the East Coast.
Speaker 1: Chris Jericho is a free agent. Yeah, We just talked
Speaker 1: about that before. Maybe he's on a three way call
Speaker 1: as we speak with Levek and Nick Cohn. They're working
Speaker 1: out the details. How do we get the rights legally
Speaker 1: to Judas. We got to work this out right. They're
Speaker 1: having that conversation right now. Z Paul says, of course
Speaker 1: Austin became stone cold in WWE because, as Flair said
Speaker 1: at the two K fourteen symposium, who could work for
Speaker 1: WCW and not drink? Paul van Summer in, Happy New
Speaker 1: Year's brother, Thanks for what you do. Thanks for rating
Speaker 1: in JD on Tuesday nights as well. You're very welcome.
Speaker 1: Drew Mackincox says, bangor year from Solo twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: will be my ten year anniversary. Difference between a chickpea
Speaker 1: and a garbonzo bean? Oh my god, what is the
Speaker 1: difference between a chickpea and a garbonzo bean? I've never
Speaker 1: had a garbonzo bean on my chest, Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 1: With the saddest part about that is he's not even
Speaker 1: drunk and he came up with that. Uh Navy forty
Speaker 1: one eighty one. Imagine the count, the count as a
Speaker 1: ref one nah Tua hoc tua. Yeah, that would be Uh.
Speaker 1: There are some referees who count that way, and then
Speaker 1: you also have referees who do whatever the fuck it
Speaker 1: is that Paul Turner did the other night at World's End,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose with A twenty two says, I'm confused, partly
Speaker 1: to the res for WWE's pettiness and always going head
Speaker 1: to head with AW. I understand business, but in the
Speaker 1: wrestling industry, I would think that people like Triple H
Speaker 1: would understand competition is better for industry. It's not how
Speaker 1: it works. Brother, their mo has always been to frustrate
Speaker 1: and stomp out the competition.
Speaker 2: Anybody who they perceive is competition that.
Speaker 1: Is not friendly to them or is a direct competitor
Speaker 1: to them. It's the way Vince operated, It's the way
Speaker 1: they operate to this very day. It's a nice idea
Speaker 1: in theory, but that's just not how business works. Also,
Speaker 1: will Hog ever come down South Nashville or Atlanta? We've
Speaker 1: definitely talked about Atlanta, so I think I'm not saying
Speaker 1: anything official yet, but I think we will yes, And
Speaker 1: there's plans for other places that I can't say right now. So,
Speaker 1: but will we ever go down south. The answer is yes.
Speaker 1: The answer is yes. We have a brand new school
Speaker 1: in Orlando, the Orlando O Vito Areas, so it's pretty
Speaker 1: safe bet that we're probably gonna end up there at
Speaker 1: some point. Anderson Blitz, thank you solo for a great
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and here's to twenty twenty six. Cheers here.
Speaker 1: I'll raise my mug to that. The Mount Vernon Kid says,
Speaker 1: Real Talk Boss, one of my favorite content creators here
Speaker 1: on YouTube in twenty twenty five, Lamar Wilson. And the
Speaker 1: sad part about it is how he died. Please everybody,
Speaker 1: if something is wrong, mentally reach out to someone. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is a very good mention, good thing to mention.
Speaker 1: Was he the one that I heard about? God? What
Speaker 1: kind of reviews did he do? Was it was it food?
Speaker 1: Was it food related reviews? It was somebody?
Speaker 2: It was very It was a very sad story.
Speaker 1: I just I don't remember if it was him or not,
Speaker 1: because unfortunately, I've read multiple stories recently about content creators
Speaker 1: and YouTubers and influencers that committed suicide, so it's kind
Speaker 1: of hard to keep track of these stories. But yes,
Speaker 1: that is a good message to relay Jeremy Dye her
Speaker 1: favorite Tana Hashi match. Oh God, for me, I don't
Speaker 1: remember which Wrestle Kingdom it was off the top of
Speaker 1: my head, but it was definitely one of the Okada matches,
Speaker 1: although he had a great one. Man, he had so
Speaker 1: many great ones, but he had a great one with
Speaker 1: Omega too.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was one of the Okada ones. I just I
Speaker 1: don't remember. Yeah, I don't remember which Wrestle Kingdom. It
Speaker 1: would have been. Oh, Tech, Yes, okay, so that is
Speaker 1: the person I was thinking of. Yeah, he reviewed Tech
Speaker 1: on his YouTube channel. You never know, man, you never
Speaker 1: know what someone is going through. Jared Ransom been an
Speaker 1: active listener for about fifteen years now.
Speaker 2: From a purely broadcast.
Speaker 1: Perspective, what moment or event caused you hesitation to talk
Speaker 1: about or do you regret how you covered it? I
Speaker 1: don't think I regret the way that I covered anything. Honestly,
Speaker 1: what I had hesitation in talking about was some of
Speaker 1: that disgusting Vince mcmahonshitt from the lawsuit. I remember reading
Speaker 1: through every page of the lawsuit, the Janelle Grant suit
Speaker 1: when it dropped, So yeah, I mean, maybe it's recency biased,
Speaker 1: but I might have to go with that one, honestly,
Speaker 1: because the stuff that I was reading, the most salacious
Speaker 1: stuff from that lawsuit, was absolutely revolting. It's like, how
Speaker 1: do you even talk about that stuff? The mount Vernon kid,
Speaker 1: because I love you Solo, but no shade against Dashi?
Speaker 1: Is it dashy or Dashi? I think I don't know
Speaker 1: how to pronounce it? And what does he review? I've
Speaker 1: never heard of him before. The Uffman says, Oscar is
Speaker 1: yelling falise anno nuevo. There are you my designated translator now?
Speaker 1: Duffs Vid says, I was in the hospital. The nurse
Speaker 1: said I couldn't feel anything below the waist, so I
Speaker 1: felt her chest. I was escorted out after. I'll bet
Speaker 1: I'll bet you were. You were escorted right to a
Speaker 1: jail cell. That's duves VID's We got Dane, Dane and Dalizak.
Speaker 1: This is the new wrestling commentary channel of Thanks Well,
Speaker 1: that's the the best compliment that I could be paid.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dane. I wish you a very happy New Year,
Speaker 1: and I hope you enjoyed the content. We got swamp
Speaker 1: Witch with the twenty. I love you Solo in my
Speaker 1: best Jacob Fatu voice.
Speaker 2: Happy New Year.
Speaker 1: You've kept this gal spirits up through cancer and divorced
Speaker 1: this year, so thanks for that. That's a very.
Speaker 2: Shitty year, and I'm sorry you had to go through
Speaker 2: all that.
Speaker 1: But I hope certainly on the on the cancer and
Speaker 1: I don't know where you are with that, but I
Speaker 1: hope that things are going as well as possible and
Speaker 1: that things are better because I certainly in this family
Speaker 1: on my end, I certainly have a lot of experience
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: But I wish you nothing.
Speaker 1: But the best and all the health and happiness in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Live, Laugh, Love, Lie brother Solo, do
Speaker 1: you like oreos? I do. I don't have them very often,
Speaker 1: but I do enjoy them. Leopoldo says, what gives Solo
Speaker 1: more pleasure crushing camp kids' spirits by taking away their
Speaker 1: Pokemon cards or watching grandmothers fall down a flight of stairs.
Speaker 1: It's definitely the Pokemon cards, just because it just used
Speaker 1: to piss me off so much. I'll go with that one.
Speaker 1: Johnny Burnie. Of course, the fireworks wake me up. Happy
Speaker 1: New Year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always feel sorry for the pets when it comes
Speaker 1: to July fourth and New Year's if you have like
Speaker 1: a dog or a cat, that's who I feel sorry for.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose says, watched WrestleMania X seven last night three
Speaker 1: and a half hour, like eleven matches. Now we get
Speaker 1: four hours, four to five matches. I missed the old days.
Speaker 1: Fuck TKO. We used to get a lot more wrestling
Speaker 1: on those shows. Chris Lloyd, did you know Jimmy wang
Speaker 1: Yang painned aj Styles on the first ever TNA show
Speaker 1: and Trinity was the first TNA knockout to challenge for
Speaker 1: a men's title. It was for the X Division Championship
Speaker 1: with Kid Cash. I did not know that, Thank you, Chris,
Speaker 1: but there's no way he was Jimmy wang Yang by
Speaker 1: that name on that show, right, Dane says best not
Speaker 1: New Wheeler Yudah looks like a hairball. He does. He
Speaker 1: does look like a hairball. I like the other idea
Speaker 1: though that was mentioned earlier about Moxley should stuff him
Speaker 1: in the briefcase instead of the belt and carry him
Speaker 1: around for the next six months. I can endorse that idea.
Speaker 1: I like that idea. We got z Ray with a
Speaker 1: fifty dollars bomb. Happy New Year, Solo. I just got
Speaker 1: back into WWE this year, and I have been away
Speaker 1: since two thousand and seven, so it was nice to
Speaker 1: find you this year. I'm glad you did. Thank you
Speaker 1: for all your content and your insight, and here's to
Speaker 1: another great year. Z Ray, thank you very much. That
Speaker 1: is a lot of money, and I appreciate that very much.
Speaker 1: Falcon Star says Sola Monsters said, gotta catch them all
Speaker 1: as he takes away their cards. That's what I should
Speaker 1: have said, as I went around collecting all their cards.
Speaker 1: Gotta catch them all. Here's the garbage right over there,
Speaker 1: power spying games. I don't know if I can stay
Speaker 1: up for the whole stream this year. I have work
Speaker 1: in twelve hours. I will have to catch up later.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year's Solo and the chat, well, it'll be here,
Speaker 1: It'll be archived here and i'll get the audio up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So I got you covered. Did I ever watch Adam
Speaker 1: the Wu He just passed away at fifty one in
Speaker 1: his sleep. You know, he's another one who passed away recently.
Speaker 1: I did not watch him, though I think I was
Speaker 1: aware of him, but I just never I never watched him.
Speaker 1: The Mount Vernon kid, What do you think of Mercedes
Speaker 1: going through some changes after this loss, and she becomes unhinged. Monett,
Speaker 1: even with the new hairstyle, she's already become unhinged. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you saw the segment at World's End the other
Speaker 1: night after they lost the tag team match, she was
Speaker 1: literally in the back in her locker room, just screaming
Speaker 1: and breaking a mirror and trashing all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: If you want her to change her appearance, I mean,
Speaker 1: the only thing I could think of is maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: one day she comes out and her hair's all like
Speaker 1: frazzled and shit. But like, I mean, she's not going
Speaker 1: to radically change the way she looks. But she has
Speaker 1: been slowly becoming more unhinged. It's just not a constant thing.
Speaker 1: She kind of goes in and out of it. I'd
Speaker 1: like to see them ratchet that up a little bit
Speaker 1: more now. I think they will at some point. Like
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense for her to be so confident
Speaker 1: and full of herself after she's lost three or four championships,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like there has to be
Speaker 1: this slow descent into madness. The Juliette December must have
Speaker 1: been the month for shoulder injuries. Michen reportedly injured hers
Speaker 1: during the holiday tour. Yes, we talked about this earlier Miechen,
Speaker 1: and now Lucasaurus has a shoulder injury as well.
Speaker 2: Devin from Men.
Speaker 1: Happy New Years to All? Which title change is more likely?
Speaker 1: Punk dropping to bron or Cody to Drew? Also with
Speaker 1: Solo a Skuylar hater on Breaking Bed. I found her
Speaker 1: incredibly annoying. Yes, I didn't hate her the way like
Speaker 1: there were people that are just sick in the head
Speaker 1: who were like sending death threats to the actress who
Speaker 1: played her, which is just ridiculous. I just found her
Speaker 1: character to be incredibly annoying. As far as which title
Speaker 1: change is more likely.
Speaker 2: Of the two of the two, Drew is more likely.
Speaker 1: But we'll get into some of that when I do
Speaker 1: my predictions for the New Year on Sunday, Hey, Zachary,
Speaker 1: Zachary Torres, what's going on? What part of the globe
Speaker 1: are you on? Is four hours on my side of
Speaker 1: the globe? Actually, real quick in the live chat, everybody
Speaker 1: type in where you're from. If you're in the States,
Speaker 1: what state, And if you're not in the States, what country.
Speaker 1: That way, we can get a sense of where everybody
Speaker 1: is from I'm curious here at one a m. Eastern time,
Speaker 1: where everybody is from Dominic, Happy New Year, salad monster
Speaker 1: in New York. Happy New Year, Dominic. There he is,

Speaker 1: shows typically come in. Thank you always, Happy New Year.

Speaker 2: Hopling ninety three.
Speaker 1: I'm not too concerned that my bro how the Mount
Speaker 1: Vernon Kid doesn't have you not as his YouTube number one,
Speaker 1: even though I do you having the Mets as your
Speaker 1: number one isn't though, since that's a choking hazard. By
Speaker 1: the way, not shitface have at it. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't really have anything to throw back in your face.
Speaker 1: I mean, they certainly did choke pretty badly this season,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't look like we're going anywhere next season either.
Speaker 1: I am dean goldberry favorite milk, almond, coconut or oat.
Speaker 1: Right now, it would be soy or almond. I got,
Speaker 1: I got all in my fridge right now. Retro Koah,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, from Vietnam. Okay, we can just added
Speaker 1: Vietnam to the list. I made the worst decision and
Speaker 1: went to the mall. Horrible mistake. Well, I mean that
Speaker 1: was your first mistake. You went to the mall at
Speaker 1: the worst time of year. No less. By the way,
Speaker 1: I don't know how it is in Vietnam, but you
Speaker 1: don't go to the mall around the holidays here. You
Speaker 1: just don't do it. Nothing good can be gained from that.
Speaker 1: And now everybody's gonna have all their shit that they
Speaker 1: have to return. So like, if you have a need
Speaker 1: to go to a mall, you may as well wait
Speaker 1: until at least mid January. Jedi Joker ninety three says,

Speaker 1: look at this guy. Look at this guy.
Speaker 2: He couldn't he couldn't even wait. He couldn't wait.
Speaker 1: One night we had an actual girl in the chat,
Speaker 1: and already look at this he's slobbering all over himself.
Speaker 1: Control yourself, says Solo. My birthday is your half birthday,
Speaker 1: so I will have an extra whiskey for you when
Speaker 1: it comes around. What is your favorite whiskey? I mean
Speaker 1: I usually just get you know, Jack Daniels, Jack Daniels
Speaker 1: be honey whiskey. They have like an apple flavor that
Speaker 1: actually is not bad. So sometimes I'll get that. I
Speaker 1: keep it simple. Sometimes I'll get Makers Prime dried ribs
Speaker 1: and chicken with flavor. Says Happy New Year's Solo, Monster.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you as well. Speaking of regulars
Speaker 1: here on the channel, he's with us every week. Hey,
Speaker 1: you guys killed it and then he had one more.
Speaker 1: He says. Congratulations to Willow Nightingale for winning the TBS title.
Speaker 1: Also Stranger Things franchise the greatest show in the twenty
Speaker 1: first century. Thank you, Duffer Brothers. Yeah, I know they're
Speaker 1: having like a Stranger Things tie in with Raw this Monday.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is about. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that's gonna look like. I am very behind on
Speaker 1: these new parts from the latest season, so I've only
Speaker 1: seen the first episode from part one that dropped like Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: So I have a lot of catching up to do.
Speaker 1: And Alfonso, Happy New Year, Solo. May twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: be the best year yet for you in the channel
Speaker 1: and all your future endeavors. Ps. Did you ever watch
Speaker 1: k Pop Demon Hunters and did you sing along? I
Speaker 1: have not watched Kate Pop Demon Hunters yet because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to catch up with Stranger Things first, and I
Speaker 1: just finished another show called Pluribus, which is a new
Speaker 1: Apple TV show at Rhea Sehorn is the star. She
Speaker 1: was She was Kim. If you are familiar with the show,
Speaker 1: better call Saul. She's great. It's a Vince Gilligan show
Speaker 1: and it's a very very slow It's not a bad show,
Speaker 1: but it's just a very slow burn. So the first
Speaker 1: season now is over and there's about like eight episodes
Speaker 1: I think, so I was watching that so I just
Speaker 1: wrapped that up.
Speaker 2: So, but Kate Pop.
Speaker 1: Demons or demon whatever it is, it is on my
Speaker 1: list because you guys told me that it is something
Speaker 1: worth checking out. So it's like an anime, right, I'm
Speaker 1: not really an anime guy, but it looks like it's
Speaker 1: something that I may have to check out because you
Speaker 1: guys recommended it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean Pluribis it's one of those things where you
Speaker 1: either really I think you either really like it or
Speaker 1: you really just despise it because it's very slow. There's
Speaker 1: like a lot of episodes where it's like, man, nothing happened,
Speaker 1: but that's not really true because like they're building, they're
Speaker 1: building the story, they're building the characters, but it's like
Speaker 1: agonizingly slow where it's like, okay, we really need something
Speaker 1: to happen here.
Speaker 2: So I also, I.
Speaker 1: Don't like drool over it the way that I see
Speaker 1: some other people drooling over it, like oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's ten out of ten, Like I see a lot
Speaker 1: of like aw fans that way, like every show is
Speaker 1: ten out of ten, every show is great, Like no,
Speaker 1: it's not. Every show is not great, and it's okay
Speaker 1: to admit that. Like Pluribis it's a good show, but
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not the best show I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: but it's also just one season, so I'll give it
Speaker 1: a chance. You know, the problem is with these shows,
Speaker 1: like I was curious, like, okay, when when is season
Speaker 1: two coming out? And like, season two isn't coming out
Speaker 1: for like three years, and I promise you, like three
Speaker 1: years from now, I'm gonna forget every fucking thing I
Speaker 1: watched on that show and they'll have the little recap
Speaker 1: at the beginning. But you know, it's like, what is
Speaker 1: with these three year waits in between seasons? Like what,
Speaker 1: like why why does every show feel like you gotta
Speaker 1: wait three years?
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Tango loa super fan, Happy New Year, solo long time,
Speaker 1: but had to drop in to celebrate. It was a
Speaker 1: fantastic year for yours, truly Tangaloa in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: What's in store for twenty twenty six, Well, let's just
Speaker 1: say bigger and better than you could ever imagine. Oh my,
Speaker 1: I shudder to think what that must mean. That mean gold?
Speaker 1: Is gold going to be in Tangaloa's future. Yeah, then
Speaker 1: you have to rewatch everything. I feel like I have
Speaker 1: to go back and rewatch at least the most recent season,
Speaker 1: which I did not have time to do.
Speaker 2: With Stranger Things. So I just watched.
Speaker 1: They had like a four minute recap at the beginning,
Speaker 1: so like I pretty much got up to speed.
Speaker 2: But there's still a lot of stuff from last season
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember, and it's like, I just I don't
Speaker 1: have time to go back and watch it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna pick up with the new season. And
Speaker 1: if I miss any you know, little Easter eggs or
Speaker 1: whatever or little things I need to remember from last season,
Speaker 1: than oh, well, z Ray with a fifteen. So I
Speaker 1: forgot to ask, but what are your thoughts on Kendall Gray.
Speaker 1: It feels like she came out of nowhere on NXT.
Speaker 1: I don't hate it, but it's crazy how fast she
Speaker 1: is going up because she's super talented. I talked about
Speaker 1: her a few weeks ago. Somebody asked me about her
Speaker 1: in the mailbag on the podcast, so I talked about
Speaker 1: Kendall Gray, and I had nothing but positive things to
Speaker 1: say about her.
Speaker 2: She's super athletic.
Speaker 1: She has really taken to this very quickly, and I
Speaker 1: think she's going to be a major star in that
Speaker 1: women's division. I mean, it's like everything's coming up basis
Speaker 1: for her as long as she can stay healthy. I've
Speaker 1: been very impressed by what I've seen. I've seen her
Speaker 1: like the way she moves and some of the stuff
Speaker 1: she does in the ring, Like I haven't seen some
Speaker 1: of that stuff before. She just seems like such a
Speaker 1: natural at it. Hulkling with another five says, my dad
Speaker 1: is now asking me a lot of questions about you
Speaker 1: confiscating kids Pokemon cards? Did he give them back? Why
Speaker 1: did he do this as a counselor, because it was
Speaker 1: becoming a real issue with all of the groups, and
Speaker 1: we were told that if you know they're being played with,
Speaker 1: you have to just you have to take them away.
Speaker 1: And eventually they were returned to them, but you know,
Speaker 1: there were certain activities where you're not supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing that. So it's like up to the counselors to
Speaker 1: confiscate the cards if the kids don't listen. Of course,
Speaker 1: kids don't listen because they never do. So you have
Speaker 1: to have somebody assertive in a position of authority who
Speaker 1: could put their foot down and say, okay, that's it.
Speaker 1: And I was the head counselor, so I had to
Speaker 1: be the bad guy. It's fine. I enjoy being the
Speaker 1: bad guy. It's fun. Jarvis Harrison says, thank you for everything.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year's stay golden. Thank you brother. I'll give

Speaker 1: being a member. And Joseph says, I had a wonderful birthday.
Speaker 1: I had so much fun, went to dinner and the
Speaker 1: Arcade with my family and friends. Well, that is very cool.
Speaker 1: When I was younger, the Arcade used to be my
Speaker 1: favorite place too. I don't even know if that's a
Speaker 1: thing anymore. Everything now is mobile. Everyone has fucking games
Speaker 1: on their phone. They don't have to go to an
Speaker 1: arcade anymore. They either have a PS five, they have
Speaker 1: a switch right, or they have games on their smartphone.
Speaker 1: Does anybody go to the arcade anymore? Is that even
Speaker 1: a thing? See, when life was simpler, going to the
Speaker 1: arcade was like a fun experience. You had ski ball,
Speaker 1: you had the little basketball hoops, you had the fucking
Speaker 1: thing with the hammer for to test your strength, and
Speaker 1: then you had all the arcade stuff. That's how I
Speaker 1: played wrestle Fest, That's how I played the Mortal Kombat
Speaker 1: and X Men and all that stuff. I know they
Speaker 1: didn't say do they exist? I know they exist. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, is it really? Are they as popular as
Speaker 1: they used to be? I own an arcade, so do
Speaker 1: I I have one of those arcade one ups, the
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat one? Oh man, Hey, shout out to Matthew
Speaker 1: email me, better to email me if you have a
Speaker 1: question like that. The Solemn Monster at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: How often do I get recognized in public? From the
Speaker 1: podcast and the streams, I get recognized sometimes, It's not
Speaker 1: like every day, but like at the gym. I've been recognized.
Speaker 1: Where was I? It was a few months ago, it
Speaker 1: was like two months ago. I was actually walking down
Speaker 1: the street on like the main avenue, and I don't
Speaker 1: remember where I was coming back from, but I was
Speaker 1: walking right by the pizza place and somebody had gotten
Speaker 1: out of their car and came out and they were
Speaker 1: coming towards me, and I was like, Okay, what's going
Speaker 1: on here? And it was somebody who recognized me from
Speaker 1: the streams, just like randomly walking down the street. And
Speaker 1: I'm like and he's like explaining to me, and I
Speaker 1: remembered I think like what he was telling me, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's pretty that's pretty freaking cool. We actually,
Speaker 1: you know, So it happens. Yeah, it happens. I'm not
Speaker 1: you know, Leonardo DiCaprio or anything like that, but it
Speaker 1: definitely happens. The Pats Number one fan says, would you
Speaker 1: rather have had Brett versus Austin at WrestleMania fourteen? Yes,
Speaker 1: the answer is yes. Joseph says. I played Big Let
Speaker 1: Me start over again. I played Big Lebowski pinball machine
Speaker 1: game at the arcade. I didn't even know they had
Speaker 1: a big Lebowski pinball machine. Oh, pinball, Yeah, I used
Speaker 1: to play. That's the other thing. Also pinballs. You know,
Speaker 1: my favorite thing is about playing the fucking pinball machines.
Speaker 1: Is my favorite part of playing pinball. When you hit
Speaker 1: the ball and the ball goes straight up and there's
Speaker 1: nothing you can do, and you're flipping, the little flippers
Speaker 1: are going. You're hitting the flippers and the flippers are going,
Speaker 1: and the ball just goes right down the fucking middle.
Speaker 1: He used to piss me off. Joseph says, twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six will be Live Doms year. I feel like this
Speaker 1: year was Live Doms here. Like every year it's like
Speaker 1: Dom and Rhea, Dom and Live. Who will Dom be
Speaker 1: with next year? Maybe he'll be with Blake Monroe. You know,
Speaker 1: he'll trade up from Live to Blake. They're good for
Speaker 1: him though. Link Master X they got Danish. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pick them up for bell m super Pony. That picture
Speaker 1: of Big Show frightens me good. That's the point. It's
Speaker 1: meant to scare you. Just be lucky. You're only seeing
Speaker 1: it from the chest up. I have the full image.
Speaker 1: It's far scarier. I actually did you guys a favor
Speaker 1: by lowering it. Link Master says, Maury's wigs never come off.
Speaker 1: He's still on the air. God, I remember when he
Speaker 1: used to host a current Affair. Let's see how many
Speaker 1: of you old heads in here remember a current affair.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows Maury is like the guy like you are
Speaker 1: the father, And I'm like, I knew Maury before that,
Speaker 1: when he was more of like a straight news guy.
Speaker 1: The irate observer. He says, Happy New Year, solemn monster.
Speaker 1: This is Faisal from Kuwait. Hey, Faisal, what's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: I'm heading to Japan tomorrow night to attend Russell Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Decided to go see Tanahashi's retirement over
Speaker 1: the royal rumble in ryod. I can't wait. We'll keep
Speaker 1: you posting. You know what, brother, that's I think you
Speaker 1: made the right choice. I think you made the right choice,
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be special to be able to like
Speaker 1: say that you were there for Tanahashi's last match and
Speaker 1: it's against Okada. I know Omega is there. That's why
Speaker 1: he wasn't on Dynamite tonight. Omega is in Japan. Osprey's
Speaker 1: in Japan. They're going to be there for the I
Speaker 1: guess he's having like a retirement ceremony. So I would
Speaker 1: love to go to a Wressell Kingdom one year, enjoy
Speaker 1: the show, super Pony. You're way better than DiCaprio solo.
Speaker 1: He's a fraud. I don't know. He's made some great movies.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't crap on the movies he's made
Speaker 1: a great actor. Now, Wrestle Kingdom is Sunday. Wrestle Kingdom
Speaker 1: is January fourth. Joseph says, Hafa is one of my
Speaker 1: favorites Jack Nicholson, who I could tell, I could tell
Speaker 1: that it is. Uh. Do you think Hafe is one
Speaker 1: of Jack Nicholson's underrated movies? No?
Speaker 2: I think it's rated about right.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Link Master says those were good fellas. I knew, I see,
Speaker 1: I knew they were references. It just I blanked out there.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure what it was in reference to. But
Speaker 1: thank you for clarifying that. All right, we got two
Speaker 1: rounds to get through here because you guys killed it.
Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and be the booker. Ladies are gentlemen.
Speaker 1: It is now time to be the booker. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't say that it was from Maury Povich you
Speaker 1: gotta pay attention, Stephen. I was talking about something someone
Speaker 1: said in the chat. Why the fuck would I think
Speaker 1: that was from Maury Povich. I was looking at a
Speaker 1: different message. And Joe says, do you think Big Show
Speaker 1: will return to WWE? No, as as far as like
Speaker 1: a performer or to do anything beyond a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame induction one day. No, he'll be in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame one day. But no he I think he's
Speaker 1: content to just be with AW. He still wants to
Speaker 1: get back in the ring. He wants to have like
Speaker 1: a final run. He has the rights he has or
Speaker 1: Tony Kahan has obtained the rights to the Captain insay
Speaker 1: no character that he still wants to portray from the
Speaker 1: water Boy fucking thirty years ago. And so he's gonna
Speaker 1: at some point do something in AW. I mean, last
Speaker 1: time we saw him in a match, he could barely
Speaker 1: fucking move. I don't have any interest in seeing him
Speaker 1: back in the ring. I don't think there's any need
Speaker 1: for him to be back in the ring, But I
Speaker 1: don't see WWE allowing him back in the ring. So
Speaker 1: he's gonna do it. He's gonna do it in AW.
Speaker 1: Here we go tag team be the booker. If you
Speaker 1: have not seen this before, it's totally it's just it's
Speaker 1: such a random thing, but people love it. And I
Speaker 1: did everything you're seeing here. I created this. It's mine,
Speaker 1: it's my creation. We have the Briscos, Jay and Mark,
Speaker 1: one of the great tag teams of our time, of
Speaker 1: all time. Really thirteen times, right, I believe, thirteen times
Speaker 1: tag team champions, The Briscos. I got to call their
Speaker 1: very last match ever together. It's crazy. The Briscos are
Speaker 1: going to take on choose two single stars to form
Speaker 1: a make shift team. Okay, then I guess that's what
Speaker 1: we have to do. We have to choose two single stars.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get it completely random team here. This
Speaker 1: should be interesting. Uh oh, look who it is, everybody.
Speaker 1: It's the bald Fraud as a punk called him. The
Speaker 1: Rock wants your soul. He wants your soul. I want
Speaker 1: your soul, County, give it to me. I want your soul. Well,
Speaker 1: the Rock is going to be on this team because
Speaker 1: he just took that spot. So he's getting one spot.
Speaker 1: We know this, hey, the Brisco. That means the Briscos
Speaker 1: are going to share the ring with the Rock, So
Speaker 1: now we find out who the Rocks tag team partner
Speaker 1: is going to be. Ooh, it's going to be The
Speaker 1: Rock and Bobby Lashley against the Briscoes. Who you got
Speaker 1: in that match? I don't know, man, Rock and Lashle
Speaker 1: is a pretty formidable team. It's a pretty good match,
Speaker 1: right there. I like that. Actually, I think the stipulation
Speaker 1: actually enhanced the match. All right, Now we got a
Speaker 1: women's match here and be the booker Sky Skylars is
Speaker 1: too bald frauds. Oh no, two bald frauds for the
Speaker 1: price of one. I will I will never call Lashley
Speaker 1: a fraud. We have Well, look at this, it's evil Alexa.
Speaker 1: We have Alexa Bliss. This is from the Fiend Days, right,
Speaker 1: this is where she's as a Bliss fan would say,
Speaker 1: she is the Fiends. Here we have Evil Alexa and
Speaker 1: she will be taking on Mommy is mad. Pick a
Speaker 1: stip to make her happy. Mommy is mad. That's not good.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, we got to pick a stipulation for this match.
Speaker 1: We'll pick a stip and then we'll pick an opponent.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Alexa Bliss does not belong in a
Speaker 1: brawl for all match, But that's what we're doing, we're doing,
Speaker 1: We're doing the bral for all everybody. I feel bad
Speaker 1: for Alexa Bliss. I don't think this is gonna end
Speaker 1: well for her. Well, maybe we'll land on somebody that's
Speaker 1: like more her size, right, maybe maybe it won't be
Speaker 1: so bad. Alexa Bliss in a brawl for all match
Speaker 1: against Chelsea Green. Okay, now that's you know, as far
Speaker 1: as somebody that won't you know, overpower her, it's not bad.
Speaker 1: But as a match, no, that that I do not
Speaker 1: want to see that match. I do not want to
Speaker 1: see a brawl for all match between Alexa Bliss and
Speaker 1: Chelsea Greed. It's fucking awful. All right, our first main
Speaker 1: event here, we have one more round to go after this.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Chelsea gonna come out of that brawl
Speaker 1: for all match having to wear her face mask again.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, here we go. Here we go, baby,
Speaker 1: Iliya Dragonov. Look at this guy. Look at look at
Speaker 1: the Look at the wound over his eye. Every match
Speaker 1: that this guy has, he is wearing the wounds of war.
Speaker 1: He's got welts on his chest, or he's bleeding, or
Speaker 1: he's got some cut on his fucking face.
Speaker 2: Every that he's in it's like.
Speaker 1: A war Ilia Dragonov. We gotta get we gotta get
Speaker 1: a gun Through Dragonov match this year. I wouldn't mind
Speaker 1: seeing that at WrestleMania. If they don't do gun Through
Speaker 1: and AJ, everyone's like Gunther and Brock and media give me,
Speaker 1: give me guntherro and Dragonov on the WrestleMania stage. I
Speaker 1: know it's been done before, but let's do it again,
Speaker 1: the Mad Dragon against the Tribal chief.
Speaker 2: Hm.
Speaker 1: That's a match, right there. Roman Reigns and Ilia Dragonov.
Speaker 2: Two out of three.
Speaker 1: Not bad, not a sweep, but not bad for a
Speaker 1: Night one of our two night extravaganza, our buy one,
Speaker 1: get one free to night extravaganza. But you know what
Speaker 1: happens in round two Round two, Night two. We picked
Speaker 1: steps for all the matches, so that wouldn't mind that
Speaker 1: being wrestle media match either Roman Reigns and Ilia Dragonov.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the story would be, but I
Speaker 1: would not mind that at all. All Right, here we go.
Speaker 1: We got ourselves a stretcher match. Oh what are we
Speaker 1: getting on Friday? Oh no, it's an ambulance match. We're
Speaker 1: getting an ambulance match on SmackDown Friday. Between Alistair Black
Speaker 1: and Damien Priest. At this point, I feel like those
Speaker 1: two guys are going to run through every possible stipulation
Speaker 1: that there is for a wrestling match. We had Last
Speaker 1: Man Standing, We've had I think we've had a regular match.
Speaker 1: We have an ambulance match, and then we'll probably get
Speaker 1: a cage match, and then maybe we'll get an eye
Speaker 1: quit match. How long is this few going to go
Speaker 1: on for? Usually we start with tag teams. This is
Speaker 1: not really a stipulation that lends itself well to tag teams.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with the ladies match. How about that?
Speaker 1: It'll be a ladies stretcher match. Priscilla Kelly former GG
Speaker 1: Dolan Okay in a stretcher match against Camille? Yeah, what
Speaker 1: the hell happened to Camille? What does she just vanished
Speaker 1: her off the face of the earth. Apparently Tony Kahan
Speaker 1: is paying Britt Baker, and he's paying Camille, He's paying
Speaker 1: Dan Housen. He's paying all these people to just sit
Speaker 1: home and do nothing. Not a bad job if you
Speaker 1: can get it, But I would imagine these people would
Speaker 1: like to actually work for their money. But hey, it's
Speaker 1: not my money, I guess he'll spend it how he
Speaker 1: wants to spend it. I don't get it, but that's
Speaker 1: how it is. All right, Match number two we have
Speaker 1: Oh god, not this again? Oh my god? If ever
Speaker 1: there was a sound effect for this. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the second time this week, by the way, that I
Speaker 1: have picked the Punjabi prison. Well, I guess we're doing
Speaker 1: the men's match because I can't do a tag team
Speaker 1: match and Punjabi prison. Oh my god? Why why we
Speaker 1: have so many stipulations in there? Why do we keep
Speaker 1: landing on this one? This is how we're starting twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. But they Punjabi prison. Dominic mysterio is going
Speaker 1: to be in the punjab be prison. He will be
Speaker 1: defending his intercontinental title. But who will it be against Cain?
Speaker 1: You lost me at Cain and Punjabi prison. I just cannot.
Speaker 1: I cannot in good conscience give that a bell. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It is them. Is simply not possible. It is not possible.
Speaker 1: It is not possible.
Speaker 2: And we're gonna have a well, we're gonna have a.
Speaker 1: We're gonna tag team inferno match, all right, So in
Speaker 1: this match it will have to be Tornado style because
Speaker 1: if we have a regular tag team Inferno match, two
Speaker 1: of the four people will burn up, so we can't
Speaker 1: have that. So this will be a Tornado Tag team
Speaker 1: Inferno match that we are about to book just because
Speaker 1: Oshow will not allow us to do it any other way. Okay,
Speaker 1: everybody's stipulations are wild. Let me tell you. Oh, we
Speaker 1: have Kenny Omega Ankota Ibushi. Okay, this this image right here,
Speaker 1: this is like peak for these two guys, Omega and Eboushie.
Speaker 1: This is actually exactly the kind of match I would
Speaker 1: expect Ebushi to be in, more so than Kenny Ibushi
Speaker 1: would totally be in.
Speaker 3: This match.
Speaker 1: Again to the world's greatest tag team of Shelton, Benjamin
Speaker 1: and Harley has.
Speaker 2: And a fine tag.
Speaker 1: Team they were, it says, two people burnt up asking
Speaker 1: for a hot tag. Oh, it's the hottest of hot tags.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that's a hell of a mash though.
Speaker 1: Tornado Tag Team Inferno match hass and Benjamin against Omega
Speaker 1: Andy Boushie. That's great. I gotta go, I gotta go.
Speaker 1: Night one though Night one is the clear winner. But
Speaker 1: unfortunately neither round was it. My God, have another drink, Rick,
Speaker 1: It's New Year's Eve. I'm sure, I'm sure he is
Speaker 1: right Now, how do you wash the wings down with
Speaker 1: some booze? Let's see, let's get to these final super
Speaker 1: chats here. You got something to say if you want
Speaker 1: to show some love, get him on in we end
Speaker 1: the sixth annual. Make it till midnight, make it till midnight.
Speaker 1: It's almost two am. Let's see here we have Ghost
Speaker 1: of Achilles. Thank you. Solo thoughts on Nolan's Odyssey. Can't
Speaker 1: really chime in on it. I can definitely give you
Speaker 1: thoughts on Nolan's Batman trilogy. Give you my thoughts on
Speaker 1: that link Master, fifty shades of Captain Insaneoh my god,
Speaker 1: please no, please know. Joseph says, I played the Jurassic
Speaker 1: Park arcade game today. That's cool. Thank you again for
Speaker 1: the birthday wishes and everything. Really appreciate and have a
Speaker 1: wonderful New Year you too, Joseph. I will see you
Speaker 1: on the streams. Cameron Spencer to get oba over. You
Speaker 1: have him as the leader of a group with Waller,
Speaker 1: the miz Kaiser, Omas Mia Yim and Ivy Nile. He
Speaker 1: can be a heel world champion leading the group. That's dope.
Speaker 1: Are you down for that. Did you just suggest that
Speaker 1: the way to get oba Femi over was to have
Speaker 1: him lead a faction with a bunch of mid carters
Speaker 1: and in some cases people that could not buy television
Speaker 1: time like No, I think that would be a terrible idea.
Speaker 1: I would keep him far far away from most of
Speaker 1: the people that you just mentioned. All due respect to
Speaker 1: those people. That is not the way to get oba
Speaker 1: fe Me over. That is the exact opposite of what
Speaker 1: I would do to get Obafemi over. I mean, you
Speaker 1: might be trying to uplift the other people, which is noble,
Speaker 1: but no, that is not how you get Obafemi over. Cameron.
Speaker 1: I do wish you a happy new Year, though, but
Speaker 1: I can't get on board with that. Luis says, happy
Speaker 1: new Year, solo. It's been a rough year personally, but
Speaker 1: your content helped me escape and stay centered. Thank you
Speaker 1: for all that you do. I salute you. I'm here
Speaker 1: for you with all the content every single week and
Speaker 1: if it can be of any help, that's what I
Speaker 1: love hearing. I don't think he is trolling. I think
Speaker 1: he was being serious. Thunder Force, I think the Undertaker
Speaker 1: versus John Cena WrestleMania with the streak intact never happened
Speaker 1: because Vince would only do it if Sina was going
Speaker 1: to win. Well, then he's a fucking idiot because that
Speaker 1: was a huge missed opportunity. I mean I ranted about
Speaker 1: it years ago before the streak was even broken. I'm like,
Speaker 1: do the match, do the match? Why are they not
Speaker 1: doing the match? And then they never did the match.
Speaker 1: Toya says, thank you, this was fun. Happy New Year, Toya,
Speaker 1: thank you for hanging out with us tonight. Let me
Speaker 1: get through a bunch of these member chats because again
Speaker 1: they're just they're not listed in the same columns, so
Speaker 1: they end up kind of being shuffled off until the end.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Eric the Shawan with thirty four months is Happy New Year,
Speaker 1: solom Master. I hope this goes even better for you.
Speaker 1: I hope so too. Brandon Proctor wanted to hop in
Speaker 1: and say Happy New Year watching Stranger Things with the girlfriend.
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy it. I hope I enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the big finale after all this season,
Speaker 1: we'll see kreflow half dollar. Happy New Year, Salamas or
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to shory against Saya Kamatani could
Speaker 1: that be the match of the year, a match of
Speaker 1: the year contender. I mean, everybody's raving about Kamatani in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, so I'm looking forward to seeing this match.
Speaker 1: Could it be a match of the year contender? Sure?
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of faith they're going to
Speaker 1: give them a lot of time. I pointed this out.
Speaker 1: I did a whole preview, preview and predictions for Wrestle
Speaker 1: Kingdom not this week last week, and I brought up
Speaker 1: the fact that like even if you go back a
Speaker 1: couple of years or three years, whatever it was when
Speaker 1: Kyrie was wrestling on the show and they got like
Speaker 1: five minutes, and then even the match on the Tokyo
Speaker 1: Dome show last year, I think got less than ten.
Speaker 1: If that, I don't know that they're going to give
Speaker 1: the women enough time to go out there and have
Speaker 1: a match of the year contender if they if they
Speaker 1: get enough time. Sure, I don't know that they're going
Speaker 1: to get time. That's the only thing that you know,
Speaker 1: kind of worries me about that. Joey says, Happy New Year,
Speaker 1: great stuff this year, looking forward to the next, So
Speaker 1: am I you ever know what to expect? Eight minutes
Speaker 1: intros includement probably probably get like six minutes terrible Starboy Bebop.
Speaker 1: I know Stephanie is more than just the Devil's Kiss,
Speaker 1: But do you think a way to stop her from
Speaker 1: doing it and letting her show more of her skills
Speaker 1: is turning her heel and maybe feud with Rhea. I
Speaker 1: don't think turning her heel is a good idea. I
Speaker 1: don't think people would buy it. I don't think she
Speaker 1: would be a good heel right, not right now? Anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it anyway.
Speaker 2: I think that is.
Speaker 1: All of those. I think I am caught up on
Speaker 1: all of them now, I hope. So I want to
Speaker 1: thank you guys for hanging out with me now three
Speaker 1: hours plus here on this New Year's Eve, now New
Speaker 1: Year's Day, it is officially twenty twenty six, and again
Speaker 1: I just want to thank you all for a kick
Speaker 1: ass year here on the Channel. In twenty five, our
Speaker 1: biggest year yet. We are very very close to ninety
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers. It should happen sometime in the next few weeks,
Speaker 1: and we'll have a little celebration when it happens, So
Speaker 1: hopefully you can join me for that. I'm going to
Speaker 1: be live with you on Friday night talking about the
Speaker 1: first three hours SmackDown. I know, oh my god, but
Speaker 1: we'll be here talking about that on Friday, and then
Speaker 1: this weekend first sound off of the New Year, episode
Speaker 1: nine five, which will include predictions, a look back at
Speaker 1: last year's predictions, what I got right, what I got wrong,
Speaker 1: and a look ahead to the world of wrestling in

Speaker 1: will hopefully see all of you here on Friday night.
Speaker 2: On your way out.

Speaker 1: We've already smashed the goal, but I want to run
Speaker 1: up the score and get those likes up as much
Speaker 1: as possible and thank you for another successful New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: Let's do it again, unless, of course, you know, Sabrina
Speaker 1: Carpenter wants to go ring my doorbell, and then maybe
Speaker 1: we'll be hanging out next New Year's Eve. And I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but if Sabrina Carpenter wanted to hang out, I'm going
Speaker 1: to have to let you guys go. But assuming that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, I will probably be here with you for
Speaker 1: year number seven and we'll do it all over again
Speaker 1: at the end of twenty twenty six. So be well,
Speaker 1: stay safe, and again for all of you, I wish
Speaker 1: you all a very happy new year. Wrestle Kingdom, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you. So Wrestle Kingdom is on Sunday, and my
Speaker 1: my plan, my attempt, because of course I record the
Speaker 1: podcast on Sunday morning. My attempt is going to be
Speaker 1: to at least watch the key matches, like the top
Speaker 1: two matches, try to watch them before I do the podcast.
Speaker 1: So I am hoping I could do sort of a
Speaker 1: quick review on Sunday, but if not, I will I
Speaker 1: will get to it at some point, but I'm gonna try.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to work it in there. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: If Sabrina comes, Colin Man I priorities, Man, priorities, you'll
Speaker 1: understand it's all good. Or maybe I'll have her on

Speaker 1: up a chair. That'd be great. Then my numbers will
