Speaker 1: Dynamite was in Scotland for the first time tonight. They
Speaker 1: were in Glasgow. This was the final edition of Dynamite
Speaker 1: before Forbidden Door, which is coming up on Sunday, so
Speaker 1: we had more people than usually. We've had a lot
Speaker 1: of really smaller venues in recent weeks in recent months
Speaker 1: for Dynamite, so it was nice to have more people.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people were there. They were allowed,
Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't allowed for everything on the show necessarily,
Speaker 1: but they were a lively bunch and we had some
Speaker 1: developments for some of the matches that are on the
Speaker 1: card this Sunday, including the main event, or what I
Speaker 1: believe to be the main event. There is a lights
Speaker 1: out match on the show. Typically those do close the show,
Speaker 1: so technically I don't know if this will be closing
Speaker 1: the show. But Hangman Page is going to be defending
Speaker 1: the aw World Championship against MJF. And it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be MJF signing his Casino Gauntlet contract and using
Speaker 1: the contract to get that title match. That was something
Speaker 1: that Hangman had duped him into last week. So they
Speaker 1: undid that on the show tonight, and they did a
Speaker 1: segment where Hangman was in the ring and looked up
Speaker 1: at the tron and saw MJF in the back along
Speaker 1: with Ricochet and the Gates of Agony, and they had
Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe tied to a chair and MJF was about
Speaker 1: to set this man on fire if Hangman did not
Speaker 1: acquiesce to three demands that he had, and he was
Speaker 1: giving him a very short period of time to agree
Speaker 1: to these demands. Number one, that their title match on
Speaker 1: Sunday result in a new champion on a disqualifcation. So
Speaker 1: if Hangman were to be disqualified, we would have a
Speaker 1: new AW World champion. Hangman is to be counted out
Speaker 1: of the ring. We have a new AW World Champion.
Speaker 1: And MJF said, well, while I have you in this
Speaker 1: situation here and I'm making demands, we're gonna undo what
Speaker 1: was done last week and I get my title match
Speaker 1: without having to cash in my Casino Gauntlet contract. And
Speaker 1: he gave him five seconds and he counted to four
Speaker 1: before Hangman finally agreed. And so now the title is
Speaker 1: on the line without the contract. The contract is not
Speaker 1: going to be wasted here in this match. If MJF loses,
Speaker 1: theoretically he will still have a guaranteed championship match that
Speaker 1: he could cash in later on. He could cash it
Speaker 1: in that night after he loses. I don't necessarily think
Speaker 1: he will. So those are the big changes and developments
Speaker 1: to the World Championship match on Sunday. You know, if
Speaker 1: I'm MJF, the smartest thing to do would just be
Speaker 1: to hire somebody to beat the shit out of me
Speaker 1: and get me, you know, the championship out of disqualification, right,
Speaker 1: That would make the most sense. This match could be
Speaker 1: over in two minutes flat. All it takes is him
Speaker 1: paying somebody off to come in and punch him in
Speaker 1: the face, and just like that, we have a new
Speaker 1: aw World champion. I don't think it's gonna end quite
Speaker 1: that easy. Will Osprey was also on the show tonight.
Speaker 1: He is the walking wounded, and he certainly implied without
Speaker 1: outright saying it, he implied that he is going to
Speaker 1: be having a very invasive, very major neck surgery soon
Speaker 1: that is going to see him on the shelf for
Speaker 1: quite some time. And he even went out of his
Speaker 1: way to mention that he is not medically cleared. He
Speaker 1: was not medically cleared this past week to actually perform it.
Speaker 1: Forbidden Door. But he's going to Okay. Now, I know
Speaker 1: it's a non sanctioned match on Sunday, but my god,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you have somebody who is telling
Speaker 1: you in this storyline here that I'm not medically cleared,
Speaker 1: But damn it, I'm gonna fight. I'm still getting in
Speaker 1: that ring, and if it's the last match I ever
Speaker 1: have as myself, I'm gonna go out in a blaze
Speaker 1: of glory. I could I could practically see the tear
Speaker 1: streaming down Tony Khan's face in the back as he
Speaker 1: was watching this. We had the finals of the tag
Speaker 1: team tournament to decide who would challenge the Hurt Syndicate
Speaker 1: at Forbidden Door. It all built to this, This tournament
Speaker 1: has been taking place now over these last several weeks,
Speaker 1: and it all built to the finals tonight, and we
Speaker 1: had no winner. We had this week's long tournament and
Speaker 1: we had no declarative winner, which means that we are
Speaker 1: now getting a triple threat, that we are getting the
Speaker 1: same thing that we got in Texas at all in
Speaker 1: we're doing it again. We're running it back, just with
Speaker 1: a couple of different teams at Forbidden Door. And so
Speaker 1: the Hurt Syndicate will have to defend their titles now
Speaker 1: against not one, but two teams. The other thing, and
Speaker 1: by the way, that was easily the best thing, the
Speaker 1: best match on the entire show, But that's not really
Speaker 1: a surprise. You put FTR in the ring with Brody
Speaker 1: King and Bandido and you give them thirty minutes. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to top that, and they certainly
Speaker 1: did not. We also had another change, not just the
Speaker 1: main event at Forbidden Door, but we had a change
Speaker 1: to another match at Forbidden Door because Adam Copeland and
Speaker 1: Christian Cage are going to be wrestling their first match
Speaker 1: together as a team in fourteen years. You don't have
Speaker 1: to wait until Toronto in September to see it. And
Speaker 1: they were supposed to wrestle Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian.
Speaker 1: What is left of the patriarchy, I guess now it
Speaker 1: would be the matriarchy, I suppose. Apparently Nick Wayne has
Speaker 1: a broken foot, or at least that's what they said
Speaker 1: on TV, and so we had a surprise return tonight.
Speaker 1: The match is going to take place just without Nick Wayne,
Speaker 1: who I mean, honestly, Nick Wayne is the one who
Speaker 1: Christian has been working with and wanted to work with,
Speaker 1: and this was going to be a very important match
Speaker 1: for him, and now that's out the window. But in
Speaker 1: his place is a former aw Tag team champion that
Speaker 1: we have not seen for a very long time, and
Speaker 1: I will say I won't tell you who it is yet,
Speaker 1: but I will say that it was good to see
Speaker 1: him on the show tonight because there were some scary
Speaker 1: health situations for him over the past year where it
Speaker 1: sounded like he may never make it back to the ring.
Speaker 1: So to see him back out there tonight and to
Speaker 1: see him as the substitute at Forbidden Door, I'm happy
Speaker 1: for the guy. I'm glad that he is well enough
Speaker 1: to get back in the ring. So we'll talk about
Speaker 1: who that is and what happened tonight, because we did
Speaker 1: have an interview segment in the Ring Live with Tony
Speaker 1: Shiavanni interviewing Adam Copeland and Christian Cage after the reunion
Speaker 1: that we saw on last week's show, and we now
Speaker 1: know all three women who are going to be challenging
Speaker 1: Mercedes Monet in the four Way on Sunday for her
Speaker 1: TBS Championship. It will be Alex Windsor, as we already
Speaker 1: know representing aw it will be Persephone, not Persephone, as
Speaker 1: JD said on Tuesday Night Titans last night. It will
Speaker 1: be Persephone representing CMLL. But we had no idea who
Speaker 1: was going to be representing Stardom. Like this was the
Speaker 1: last Dynamite before Forbidden Door, we kind of needed to
Speaker 1: know who the representative was going to be from Stardom
Speaker 1: and we did find out it is going to be Bozilla,
Speaker 1: And for those of you asking who, you are not alone,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but it will be Bozilla, who is a
Speaker 1: twenty one year old newcomer to Stardom who has not
Speaker 1: been there for very long, and she's from Germany. So
Speaker 1: we have a German wrestler representing a Japanese promotion on
Speaker 1: a British event being hosted by an American company. This
Speaker 1: is truly a global event, and not a single person
Speaker 1: in the world believes that Mercedes Monet is going to
Speaker 1: lose her TBS championship to any of these people representing
Speaker 1: these other promotions. But at least now we know who
Speaker 1: she's going to be wrestling. So we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about that. The women were in the main event tonight.
Speaker 1: By the way, they got the main event spot. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about a bunch of things,
Speaker 1: including this, and we'll start here with this because this
Speaker 1: was something that was made official and broke only a
Speaker 1: few hours ago, and it does affect AW now. This
Speaker 1: has been the ruben going around now for about a week.
Speaker 1: It became official this afternoon. As you will see here
Speaker 1: with this graphic on your screen. WWE and ESPN have
Speaker 1: made it official. They are getting an early start to
Speaker 1: their new partnership and WWE is going to be producing
Speaker 1: an event on Saturday, September twentieth at seven o'clock Eastern time.
Speaker 1: That is the same night that AW presents All Out
Speaker 1: from Toronto at eight pm Eastern, WWE presents Russell Palooza Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: US it All Out And while we know this is confirmed,
Speaker 1: not confirm yet, but very likely is the fact that
Speaker 1: this show is going to feature the John Cena Brocklesner
Speaker 1: main event. They're gonna go no pun intent that they're
Speaker 1: gonna go all out here to try to make this
Speaker 1: show as big as they possibly can. Brocklesner and John
Speaker 1: Cena is expected to be the main event of this show.
Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes against Drew McIntyre is another match that has
Speaker 1: been rumored heavily for this show because it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like it's happening in Clash from Paris, So we're probably
Speaker 1: looking at a double main event on that show of
Speaker 1: John Cena against Brocklesner and Cody Rhoads defending the WWE Championship,
Speaker 1: quite possibly against Drew McIntyre. Now, this is going to
Speaker 1: be the first pl to stream officially on the new
Speaker 1: ESPN streaming service. This is not ESPN Plus. They are
Speaker 1: launching a brand new service tomorrow, so there's gonna be
Speaker 1: I think a big press conference is going to be
Speaker 1: a lot of media tomorrow around this launch. That's why
Speaker 1: they waited until this afternoon to make the announcement. I
Speaker 1: think WWE is going to be part of the announcement tomorrow.
Speaker 1: The key here is that this is the first of
Speaker 1: what will be pls on ESPN going forward every month.
Speaker 1: Peacock is no longer doing WWE main roster pls. They're
Speaker 1: still doing the NXT ones until the end of the year,
Speaker 1: they are no longer doing any main roster ones. They
Speaker 1: have filled their quota and so now it's on ESPN
Speaker 1: going forward. And if you have ESPN the network. You
Speaker 1: will likely have free access to this new ESPN streaming
Speaker 1: service and you will not have to pay the twenty
Speaker 1: nine ninety nine. If you don't have access to ESPN,
Speaker 1: well your shit out of luck unless you have a VPS.
Speaker 1: And this is a great time to get yourself a
Speaker 1: VPN because I have YouTube TV, which means I don't
Speaker 1: have access to that service, so in the absence of
Speaker 1: a VP and I would have to pay for it.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, so that's the update on that and the
Speaker 1: other thing also, and this also ties into AW so
Speaker 1: I may as well mention it here. There were some
Speaker 1: rumors about the date of John Sena's retirement match. That
Speaker 1: John Seen's retirement match was rumored for Saturday Night's Main
Speaker 1: event in December, and for many months the date was
Speaker 1: supposedly going to be December thirteenth in Boston. Then these
Speaker 1: reports started creeping up that well, they might actually push
Speaker 1: to have it on December twenty seventh. December twenty seventh
Speaker 1: just so happens to be the night of AW World's
Speaker 1: end in Chicago, and so they might run that last
Speaker 1: edition of Saturday Night's Main event this year with John
Speaker 1: Seen is big retirement match opposite the aw pay per view.
Speaker 1: Just the fuck with them, And I just thought, you know,
Speaker 1: if that's going to be John seen is a retirement match,
Speaker 1: you know what, just just do it on a night
Speaker 1: where you have the night all to yourself so you
Speaker 1: can maximize your audience for it and not do this
Speaker 1: petty bullshit for one night. And they're not final. Saturday
Speaker 1: Night's main event of the year will be taking place
Speaker 1: on December thirteenth, so World's End has been spared, unless,
Speaker 1: of course, they put together an NXT show that night,
Speaker 1: which they very well could do. But yes, World's End
Speaker 1: will not be going opposite John Seena's retirement match. Now,
Speaker 1: as I go on here, just I want to point
Speaker 1: out to those of you who are in the live chat,
Speaker 1: there is a poll in the live chat right now.
Speaker 1: Put this up earlier. You want to vote asking which
Speaker 1: event obviously, if you are going to be watching at
Speaker 1: least one of them, which event are you planning on
Speaker 1: watching live on September twentieth. Is it WWE Wrestle Palooza
Speaker 1: or is it aw all Out? So go ahead and vote.
Speaker 1: All Out is winning right now, which is not a
Speaker 1: huge surprise. This is an AAW stream, But go ahead
Speaker 1: and vote and we'll check back in on those results
Speaker 1: a little bit later. I put the same pole up
Speaker 1: on X in lieu of our typical polls. I did
Speaker 1: a poll on that. We'll check in with that later
Speaker 1: see what the results are. Very interested to see what
Speaker 1: that looks like. This is your AW Dynamite review. It
Speaker 1: is Wednesday, August twentieth, twenty twenty five. I am the
Speaker 1: Solemn Monster. Thank you for hanging out with me here
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday night. Like and subscribe. We are over
Speaker 1: eighty eight thy one hundred subs on our way to
Speaker 1: eighty nine. Help me get there. Superchats are open. We
Speaker 1: have a superchat goal in the chats a little bit
Speaker 1: different than usual, so if we hit that, we will
Speaker 1: do a double edition of Be the Booker. Of course,
Speaker 1: if we hit minimum four hundred likes on this video
Speaker 1: while I am live, we will do Be the Booker.
Speaker 1: And if we don't, then we won't. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: up to you guys. Now. This Sunday is Forbidden Door,
Speaker 1: and I will be going live Sunday night. Forbidden Door,
Speaker 1: by the way, just remember has a one o'clock Eastern
Speaker 1: start time and I'm not going to go live as
Speaker 1: soon as it's over. It's probably gonna end around five,
Speaker 1: I mean to an aw pay per view. So what
Speaker 1: are we thinking here? Five thirty ish, five thirty eastern.
Speaker 1: Maybe the plan is to go live around eight o'clock Eastern,
Speaker 1: give myself some time to eat, and then get ready
Speaker 1: for the big reviews. So that's the plan for Sunday.
Speaker 1: I will be live. I hope you will join me
Speaker 1: for the Forbidden Door review. Yes, it is that time
Speaker 1: of year where everybody gets excited to see matches that
Speaker 1: in most cases have no build in terms of the
Speaker 1: actual Forbidden Door matches. Yeah, a lot of the AW
Speaker 1: centric matches they have build to them. You may not
Speaker 1: like the build, but they do have build. But then
Speaker 1: you have these matches like Kyle Fletcher and Hiromu Takahashi,
Speaker 1: which is just sort of thrown out there. And you
Speaker 1: have Bozilla, who was announced fucking you know, five days
Speaker 1: before the pay per view. Okay, whatev. Dynamite open tonight
Speaker 1: with a surprise appearance by the American Draft. He's not
Speaker 1: wrestling it Forbidden Door, although he'll be there, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: but he was on commentary Tonaight Brian Danielson making a
Speaker 1: surprise appearance here on Dynamite here in Glasgow. He was
Speaker 1: on commentary for the remainder of the show with ex
Speaker 1: Caliber and Tony Shavanni. Taz was not there. He posted
Speaker 1: on Twitter a couple of days ago that he was
Speaker 1: not making the trip. He had a knee replacement not
Speaker 1: that long ago, and apparently long flights are his enemies,
Speaker 1: so he was going to hang back, so he will
Speaker 1: not be on commentary on Sunday either. Then they showed
Speaker 1: hangman Adam Page stepping off the train earlier today, stepping
Speaker 1: off of public transit and wheeling his luggage to get
Speaker 1: to the arena. See a man of the people, believe
Speaker 1: CM Punk complained about this once when he was caught.
Speaker 1: Someone took a photograph of him riding the train. Right.
Speaker 1: This was an when he didn't get picked up when
Speaker 1: he landed there for the Wembley Show. I don't know
Speaker 1: if this was an inside joke about that or not,
Speaker 1: but again he a man of the people here hangman
Speaker 1: riding the train to the arena. So Will Osprey made
Speaker 1: his way out next and he got a great reaction.
Speaker 1: They sang to him once he was in the ring.
Speaker 1: He thanked them for putting a smile on his face
Speaker 1: after having the worst month of his life. Osprey reminisced
Speaker 1: about the days when he used to wrestle in Scotland,
Speaker 1: and he said he loved the food, which got a
Speaker 1: sausage roll chant. I'm not really familiar with that. Sounds
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Can't say that I've had one. Is
Speaker 1: that a thing over there in Scotland? Sausage rolls. Osprey
Speaker 1: said that after what the death Riders did to him,
Speaker 1: it was the first time that he's felt human in
Speaker 1: his career, because when you're young, you feel indestructible, right,
Speaker 1: you feel invincible. You can do anything like fucking Javon
Speaker 1: Evans on NXT last night. I went back and I
Speaker 1: watched that dive when Trick Williams he pushed him backwards
Speaker 1: off the middle rope, and my god, what the fuck
Speaker 1: was he thinking taking that bump? I mean, was he
Speaker 1: was centimeters away from catastrophe on that bump. But that's
Speaker 1: what happens when you're young. You just you do stupid shit.
Speaker 1: You think you're invincible until one day you're not. So.
Speaker 1: Osprey said, this is the first time he's really felt human,
Speaker 1: and it was to the point with him where he
Speaker 1: would do all this crazy stuff and everybody used to
Speaker 1: look at him and say, man, your nuts taking bitchidoku.
Speaker 1: He said, once said that Osprey was an alien. So
Speaker 1: Osprey realized that he's going to have to travel down
Speaker 1: a road soon that many wrestlers have before. And then
Speaker 1: he revealed that this past week he was not medically
Speaker 1: cleared to compete at Forbidden Door. But a light's out
Speaker 1: steel cage match means it's unsanctioned. Therefore it is out
Speaker 1: of Aw's hands. If he gets hurt, it's no one's
Speaker 1: fault but his own. And the fans started chanting, please
Speaker 1: don't die, like they probably chant that in every Osprey match.
Speaker 1: Osprey said he's aware of the risks, but AW means
Speaker 1: so much to him. He's here to prove a point
Speaker 1: that he will be the standard for those three initials.
Speaker 1: If there's a chance that he can't be the same
Speaker 1: well Osprey after Sunday, then he's gonna leave it all
Speaker 1: out there, come Forbidden Door. Ospray said he's doing this
Speaker 1: for revenge as he is entering this lights out cage
Speaker 1: match with four of his best friends wanting the same thing.
Speaker 1: Before doctors take a scalpel to him and his neck,
Speaker 1: he is going to take his pound of flesh from
Speaker 1: John Moxley. And right on cue John Moxley's music hits,
Speaker 1: he walks out with Marina Shaffir. Brian Danielson on commentary
Speaker 1: says that he promised Tony Kahan that he would be
Speaker 1: on his best behavior. He's just here to be a commentator,
Speaker 1: not looking for revenge for what Moxley did to him
Speaker 1: at Wrestle Dream last year. So we got a little
Speaker 1: face off. And as these two are facing off, Claudio
Speaker 1: and Wheeler you do They slowly joined up on the
Speaker 1: apron Osprey said that if Moxley wants to get rid
Speaker 1: of him, don't have your boys do it. Do it yourself.
Speaker 1: And before Moxley could say anything, Jet Speed hit the
Speaker 1: ring to no reaction. Nobody cared. They hit the ring,
Speaker 1: they started fighting with the death riders. Osprey left and
Speaker 1: then he Wroshi Tanahashi's music hits. I'm like, what is
Speaker 1: going on here? So Tanahashi's music hits. I guess we're
Speaker 1: going right into the opening match here, Tanahashi. This was
Speaker 1: sad because Tanahashi comes out right, the Ace, the president
Speaker 1: of New Japan Pro Wrestling, the legend, the man himself.
Speaker 1: He comes out, takes his jacket off, and I would
Speaker 1: say he was probably midway down the aisle, and he
Speaker 1: begins to try to run, I mean as best as
Speaker 1: he could. He tries to run into the ring. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've seen grandmother's run faster. It's just pain it's painful.
Speaker 1: It is just painful to watch. So first, Osprey comes
Speaker 1: out a few weeks ago. Before we get into the match,
Speaker 1: let's just talk about what we heard here. We have
Speaker 1: Osprey a few weeks ago, right coming out of all in,
Speaker 1: walking out on television, saying that he has two herniated
Speaker 1: discs in his neck that he withheld from aw medical
Speaker 1: at least the severity of the injury that he had,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure he's been dealing with neck pain for
Speaker 1: a while. But as far as the diagnosis, you know,
Speaker 1: of having two herniated discs, I think he said C
Speaker 1: two and C six. You know, he claimed that he
Speaker 1: kept it a secret, but it's obviously become too much
Speaker 1: of an issue. So then you hear this promo and
Speaker 1: you think, man, this guy's going to be going away
Speaker 1: for a while. Two weeks go by, and he shows
Speaker 1: up last week right to make the save, and that's
Speaker 1: where he throws out this challenge for a lights out
Speaker 1: steel cage ten man match at Forbidden Door because John
Speaker 1: Moxley does not want to wrestle Darby Allen. Garby Allen
Speaker 1: was the one who laid down the gauntlet to Moxley
Speaker 1: for a singles match, and Moxley did not want to
Speaker 1: wrestle Darby Allen. Evidently, John Moxley, though, was okay with
Speaker 1: wrestling Darby Allen if it's part of a ten man
Speaker 1: lights out steel cage match, which makes all the sense
Speaker 1: in the world. And so now this week, Osprey comes
Speaker 1: out again very sad and says that man, I'm only
Speaker 1: human and I'm gonna have to go under the knife soon.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to have net without coming out and
Speaker 1: outright saying he basically said he's having major neck surgery soon.
Speaker 1: So I feel like we've been kind of ping ponging
Speaker 1: back and forth here with Osprey, but he's out here
Speaker 1: saying I'm not medically cleared, and that part, I'm sure is,
Speaker 1: you know, for storyline purposes, even though maybe he shouldn't
Speaker 1: be medically cleared. But the storyline is I'm not medically cleared,
Speaker 1: but it's an unsanctioned match, and AW can't do anything
Speaker 1: about it. Well, I guess, I guess not. Evidently, Tony
Speaker 1: Khan's hands are tied. There's nothing he can do. Tony
Speaker 1: Khan is powerless to do anything to stop this man.
Speaker 1: He's going to go out there. He'll break his neck
Speaker 1: if that's what he has to do, because he cares
Speaker 1: so deeply about AW and just being all the lead
Speaker 1: and the sickos and the hardcores and the diehards and
Speaker 1: what they represent, that he's going to go out there
Speaker 1: and if it's the last thing he does, and nobody's
Speaker 1: going to be able to stop him, including Tony Khan.
Speaker 1: So this is where we are now. No Kenny Omega,
Speaker 1: he and Coded Bushi were announced for that big lights
Speaker 1: out match last week. There was nothing, no promo, no appearance,
Speaker 1: no no nothing from them here on the show this week.
Speaker 1: The surgery, I don't know when he's having the surgery.
Speaker 1: I imagine it would be shortly after Forbidden Door. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that decision has been made. I don't
Speaker 1: know if a date has been set, but let's assume
Speaker 1: it happens fairly soon after the pay per view. The
Speaker 1: kind of surgery that he's implying here is something that's
Speaker 1: going to keep him out for a very long time,
Speaker 1: like it could keep him out for the better part
Speaker 1: of a year. And even if he was to make
Speaker 1: it back before a full year, let's say it's too bad.
Speaker 1: Storyline wise, it's too bad because they're going back to
Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium next year, I presume in August, because Tony
Speaker 1: kind of likes doing the bank holiday weekends. So a
Speaker 1: year from now they're going to be back in London,
Speaker 1: but they're going to be back at Wembley, and they're
Speaker 1: going to be doing all in and Osprey. Challenging for
Speaker 1: and winning the aw World Championship at their big stadium
Speaker 1: show in London would be the obvious path to go here.
Speaker 1: I don't see how that's going to be possible now,
Speaker 1: you know, even if he's not out for a full year,
Speaker 1: if they work it the way they've worked it for
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, which I think is the
Speaker 1: way to go, he would have to be in the
Speaker 1: Owen first, which is going to be taking place, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple months even before all in, and he would
Speaker 1: have to win the Owen and then he could become
Speaker 1: number one contender. It seems very ambitious, not that we
Speaker 1: haven't had wrestlers come back sooner than they should, it
Speaker 1: seems very ambitious. And he's He's one of Tony Kahan's very,
Speaker 1: very top names, so losing him is going to be
Speaker 1: a body blow to the company, losing one of their
Speaker 1: top baby faces like that. But his health is the
Speaker 1: most important thing. You know. He has worked a style
Speaker 1: for many, many years at a very young age that
Speaker 1: has been very hard on his body, and he's been
Speaker 1: hurting for a long time. He's had, you know, other injuries,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's all banged up all the time.
Speaker 1: Eventually it catches up to you, as as it has
Speaker 1: now with his neck. You know, every time he works
Speaker 1: one of the these matches, as great as they are,
Speaker 1: he's shaving years off of his career. So this sort
Speaker 1: of thing was inevitable working the kind of style that
Speaker 1: he does. I think the most important thing is for
Speaker 1: them to just try to get him back as close
Speaker 1: to one hundred percent as you could possibly get him back,
Speaker 1: because he is going to be one of the key
Speaker 1: pieces for Tony Kahan, you know, going forward once he's
Speaker 1: able to get him back, but it's going to be
Speaker 1: a very long time before we see him. So I
Speaker 1: hope whatever we see of him on Sunday he doesn't
Speaker 1: do anything overly crazy. I would hope that he airs
Speaker 1: on the side of caution, which I know is not
Speaker 1: the way that he typically does things, but I would
Speaker 1: certainly hope that's the case on Sunday. Especially, got nine
Speaker 1: other guys in the ring. You don't have to put
Speaker 1: it all on yourself. It's not like when he was
Speaker 1: in the cage with Kyle Fletcher and it's one on one, right.
Speaker 1: You got nine other guys in this match. You could
Speaker 1: do all kinds of crazy shit, and they can bleed
Speaker 1: and they can jump off the top of the cage.
Speaker 1: Will Osprey does not have to do that. So the
Speaker 1: match was Hiroshi Tanahashi Speedball, Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight
Speaker 1: against John Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Youda. Marina Shafir
Speaker 1: she tried to get involved early on, she got ejected
Speaker 1: by the referee. So will Osprey comes back out at
Speaker 1: that point on stage picks her up over his shoulder
Speaker 1: and carries her to the back. Kevin Knight started to
Speaker 1: make a comeback. Tanahashi tagged in. He delivered a sentan
Speaker 1: from the middle rope for a two count. Mike Bailey
Speaker 1: delivered a series of kicks to da I got shocking right,
Speaker 1: Speedball delivering some kicks to Wheeler Yudah and then delivered
Speaker 1: a moon salt to Moxley out on the floor. Knight
Speaker 1: then landed a flying clothes line to Claudio jet Speed
Speaker 1: and Tanahashi. They delivered three simultaneous twist and shout neck
Speaker 1: breakers in the ring. Tanahashi set up for a high
Speaker 1: fly flow to Wheeler Udah, but Gabe Kid and the
Speaker 1: Bullet Club war Dog they ran out. They ran distraction
Speaker 1: and Kid got up on the apron. He tripped up
Speaker 1: Tanahashi on the top rope and you could tell that
Speaker 1: g one just wrapped up. So they were actually able
Speaker 1: to get some new japan names on the show tonight.
Speaker 1: Osprey then appeared again on stage, but this time when
Speaker 1: he came back out, he had a body bag over
Speaker 1: his shoulder and there was obviously a person. There was
Speaker 1: a body inside the body bag, and this caused a distraction.
Speaker 1: This led to the Death Riders to believe that he
Speaker 1: had Marina Shaffir inside the body beg because the last
Speaker 1: time we saw him he had carried her to the back.
Speaker 1: So the idea here, and I knew right away it
Speaker 1: was Darby Allen because it was obvious that it was.
Speaker 1: But the idea was that, oh, he's got Marina in
Speaker 1: the body bag, what's he going to do to her?
Speaker 1: As all of this is going on, Tanahashi recovers and
Speaker 1: he hits a high fly flow on Wheeler Yuda and
Speaker 1: he gets the pin. So after the match is over,
Speaker 1: the war Dogs and the Death Riders they start a
Speaker 1: beat down inside the ring. The Young Bucks come out
Speaker 1: on stage and they appear right behind Osprey. He turns
Speaker 1: around eats a double superkick Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly.
Speaker 1: What's left of Paragon? They run out and they chase
Speaker 1: them away. They chase the Bucks away, and Roddy seemed
Speaker 1: completely unbothered by the possibility that his wife, Marina Shaffir
Speaker 1: could very well be trapped inside this body bag. I
Speaker 1: would hope that Will Osprey kind of clued him in
Speaker 1: that it wasn't her in the bag. Beforehand. Otherwise it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a conversation between those two when they
Speaker 1: get home. So Claudio and Moxley they finally open the
Speaker 1: body bag. Of course, Darby Allen pops out and attacks them,
Speaker 1: and then the Ops come out, because why the fuck not.
Speaker 1: They're not even in a match on Sunday, but here
Speaker 1: come the Ops. They join in the fight. Giant brawl
Speaker 1: breaks out that spills into the crowd, conveniently over right
Speaker 1: by one of the tunnels, which has a little balcony
Speaker 1: for the next level right above it. And so I'm
Speaker 1: waiting and I'm watching, I'm like, where's Darby. You know
Speaker 1: what's about to happen. Where's Darby? And then sure enough
Speaker 1: there's Darby on the balcony and he does a coffin
Speaker 1: drop off the balcony and he takes everybody out. So
Speaker 1: the match itself was pretty much a blur. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was fine as an opening match. The postmatch stuff
Speaker 1: was all over the place, but that's what they wanted
Speaker 1: to show you that it's going to be complete chaos.
Speaker 1: Even though they're going to be trapped in a cage,
Speaker 1: it's going to be complete chaos inside whatever this cage
Speaker 1: is going to look like complete chaos inside the cage
Speaker 1: for the lights out match on Sunday. Here the Babyfaces
Speaker 1: were left standing tall, and I thought they would be
Speaker 1: on Sunday. You know, when I did my predictions the
Speaker 1: other day, I no longer believe that. I no longer
Speaker 1: think the baby Faces are going to be standing victorious
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Tony Shavanni, for the next segment, was in
Speaker 1: the ring to introduce Adam Copeland out and he came
Speaker 1: out and the crowd sang his theme song. They were
Speaker 1: singing some altar bridge. Christian came out and Christian then
Speaker 1: started to tell the fans in Glasgow to sit down
Speaker 1: and shut their mouths, and before he could say anymore,
Speaker 1: Copeland just swiped the microphone out of his hand and said,
Speaker 1: are you really going to do that? Man? Are you
Speaker 1: going to do that? Here he said that he and
Speaker 1: Christian are the greatest tag team of all time, and
Speaker 1: he admitted that Christian is an asshole. But here's the
Speaker 1: thing that Copeland has learned from over the years. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you need an asshole. I would say that you need
Speaker 1: an asshole all the time, Otherwise that's going to get
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable. I think that's a pretty important part of
Speaker 1: the body as a matter of fact. So yes, but yes,
Speaker 1: he says that you need an asshole in your life sometimes,
Speaker 1: and it just so happens that Christian is his asshole.
Speaker 1: So Chavani brought up Copeland, telling Christian it all in
Speaker 1: to go find himself, and he asked, Christian, have you
Speaker 1: have you found yourself? Christian said, you know, I took
Speaker 1: some time and I did just that. I looked within myself.
Speaker 1: I looked deep within my soul and I did find myself.
Speaker 1: And guess what he found. He doesn't need to change
Speaker 1: a thing. He is perfect just the way he is.
Speaker 1: And the fans cheered because they agree. Because that people
Speaker 1: might be wondering if the two of us are on
Speaker 1: the same page, and we are not, he says, not
Speaker 1: by a long shot. There's a lot of scar tissue there.
Speaker 1: They may not be on the same page, but at
Speaker 1: least they're writing in the same book. Now. He knows
Speaker 1: people here were hoping for some bubble reunion of perhaps
Speaker 1: the greatest tag team of all time. But that's not
Speaker 1: what this is. This is not a happy reunion, said,
Speaker 1: this is a reunion out of necessity because Adam has
Speaker 1: agreed to help him with his Nick and Kip problem,
Speaker 1: and in turn, he has agreed to help Adam with
Speaker 1: his FTR problem. He can't commit to more than that,
Speaker 1: but he will stand here tonight and shake Copeland's hand,
Speaker 1: look him straight in the eye, and say, this version
Speaker 1: of Christian Cage will be the best version, the best
Speaker 1: tag team partner that Copeland has ever had. With that,
Speaker 1: the fans cheered, and he put his hand out and
Speaker 1: Copeland accepted. And then before we could go any further,
Speaker 1: they were interrupted by Kip Sabian's voice and he walked
Speaker 1: out on stage along with Mother Wayne. And then Mother
Speaker 1: Wayne spoke. She doesn't get promo time very often, like
Speaker 1: in front of the live crowd, but yes, Mother Wayne
Speaker 1: Shana got to speak and she said, who are these
Speaker 1: fans that bow us? Who are they to boo? A
Speaker 1: mother and not just any mother, a mother to the prodigy,
Speaker 1: said Roxane Perez. She on Dynamite, are we getting the
Speaker 1: real forbidden door this weekend? No, the other prodigy. She's
Speaker 1: the mother of Nick Wayne. And they throw it to
Speaker 1: the tron, and up on the tron we see Nick Wayne.
Speaker 1: Nick Wayne is not there. He is definitely not in Glasgow.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's in the garage. Never when Swerve
Speaker 1: and ar Fox beat the shit out of him when
Speaker 1: he was training in his garage back at home. So
Speaker 1: he was in the garage there. The ring is behind him.
Speaker 1: He's standing there and he's got two crutches. He's got
Speaker 1: one crutch on, like they're not under his shoulders, but
Speaker 1: he got he has one crutch on either side of him.
Speaker 1: And Nick said that last Wednesday, Christian saved Copeland, but
Speaker 1: he wasn't far behind. I mean literally, like he came
Speaker 1: out to save Copeland with spike the board with the
Speaker 1: nails in it, and like as soon as Christian Christian
Speaker 1: ran down to the ring, like Nick, Wayne was right
Speaker 1: behind him with a chair. So he mentioned that he
Speaker 1: was right behind him. And while Cage swung that spiked
Speaker 1: board in dodging him, Nick broke his foot. Cage took
Speaker 1: forbidden door away from him a night where he would
Speaker 1: have made their reunion into a farewell tour. It's a
Speaker 1: blessing in disguise that he won't be there on Sunday.
Speaker 1: But he tells Cage he's always one step ahead, and
Speaker 1: at that point they played a very brief video on
Speaker 1: the big screen that showed someone, and that someone was
Speaker 1: kill Switch, the former Lucasaurus. He was laying on a
Speaker 1: table or a gurney, hooked up to all kinds of
Speaker 1: wires and tubes, seemingly coming back to life, sitting up
Speaker 1: like Frankenstein's Monster. Then they cut back live and they
Speaker 1: plays music. Any Power walks down to the ring with
Speaker 1: Sabian behind him and Motherwayne behind him. Cage clothesline Sabian
Speaker 1: over the top rope, not realizing that kill Switch had
Speaker 1: just laid out Copeland with a chokes lamb, which he
Speaker 1: did as soon as he got into the ring. So
Speaker 1: now Christian, Cage and kill Switch come face to face
Speaker 1: and Christian is obviously scared. He doesn't know quite what
Speaker 1: to make of this. They had a little stare down.
Speaker 1: Kill Switch was about to walk off, but then he
Speaker 1: turned back. He goozles Christian and he delivers a chokes
Speaker 1: lamb to Christian Cage, and so kill Switch stood tall
Speaker 1: with Sabian and Motherwayne over a fall in Copeland and Christian.
Speaker 1: Kill Switch was then confirmed on commentary. The graphic was
Speaker 1: already Christian and Copeland will be taking on kill Switch
Speaker 1: and Kip Sabian. So kill Switch is officially the replacement
Speaker 1: for Nick Wayne on Sunday. And then I should point
Speaker 1: out that from this they cut to Mark Briscoe in
Speaker 1: the back, who was just a madman. When is he not?
Speaker 1: But he was just a madman, and he was in
Speaker 1: the back looking for MJF and he promised to kill him.
Speaker 1: So we had one threat of attempted murder, and then
Speaker 1: we had one act of attempted murder later in the show,
Speaker 1: which I will get to. As far as this segment here,
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that Nick's legitimately injured and he
Speaker 1: did break his foot. Nothing looked wrong last week. I
Speaker 1: even went back real quick and watched the segment from
Speaker 1: last week when he dodged the spike shot from Christian
Speaker 1: and then he left the ring and he was moving
Speaker 1: around fine. So I don't know if he's got a
Speaker 1: broken foot. I don't know if it's a storyline, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a cover for another injury. I'm
Speaker 1: going to assume he has a broken foot if so,
Speaker 1: because otherwise the only thing I would say is him
Speaker 1: being replaced in this match does not necessarily guarantee all well,
Speaker 1: it's definitely a shoot, right, because otherwise he would be
Speaker 1: in the match. One of the things that I said
Speaker 1: last week, and I said it on TNT last night, like,
Speaker 1: ideally you would be setting up for Christian in a
Speaker 1: singles match against Nick Wayne, right, because you could do
Speaker 1: the tag match it Forbidden Door, but you gotta do
Speaker 1: Christian and Nick Wayne one on one. I mean, this
Speaker 1: match was designed to, in my opinion, blow off the
Speaker 1: patriarchy stuff with Christian so they can move on to
Speaker 1: Cope and Christian and FTR. But you can't really fully
Speaker 1: blow it off until you do Christian against Nick Wayne.
Speaker 1: So it's at least possible that maybe he's not hurt.
Speaker 1: This was their way of reintroducing kill switch. Maybe he
Speaker 1: shows up it Forbidden Door. Maybe he costs Copeland and
Speaker 1: Christian the match and they actually lose off of, you know,
Speaker 1: the interference of Nick Wayne, and then we get Christian
Speaker 1: and Nick Wayne on television one on one. You can't
Speaker 1: completely disqualify that as a possibility. I'm going to operate
Speaker 1: under the assumption that it is a legitimate injury. If
Speaker 1: it is, it continues the bad luck streak for these
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor champions. Because if he's got a broken foot,
Speaker 1: that's a few months right there. He's gonna have to
Speaker 1: vacate the Ring of Honor Television Championship because he's the
Speaker 1: TV champion. Dustin Rose just had double knee replacement surgery.
Speaker 1: He's got two titles. He's one half of the Ring
Speaker 1: of Honor Tag Team Champions and he's one third of
Speaker 1: the Ring of Honor six Man Tag Team Champions. So
Speaker 1: it has not been a good month if you are
Speaker 1: a champion in Ring of Honor. Now, as far as
Speaker 1: kill Switch is concerned, very very good to see him back.
Speaker 1: He almost died like it was a very very serious
Speaker 1: touch and go situation late last year. For those of
Speaker 1: you who don't remember, there was a whole story about it.
Speaker 1: I think his fiance found him passed out collapsed at home.
Speaker 1: He had to be rushed to the hospital. They found
Speaker 1: that his blood oxygen level was dangerously it was like
Speaker 1: eighty or something, which is not good. And also they've
Speaker 1: discovered that he had double pneumonia in each of his lungs.
Speaker 1: We had pneumonia in each lung, so he was having
Speaker 1: breathing problems. He wasn't breathing on his own. I think
Speaker 1: for a while it was. It was very very serious,
Speaker 1: and there was certainly questions not just about his overall health,
Speaker 1: but whether or not he would even be able to
Speaker 1: get back in the ring. And he's been gone for
Speaker 1: a long time now. I don't know when he was
Speaker 1: medically cleared. He could have been medically cleared months ago
Speaker 1: for all we know, but this is just the time
Speaker 1: where they finally came up with an idea for him. Yes,
Speaker 1: Like in WWE I was at I asked the question
Speaker 1: some time ago, we were talking about Ilia dragone of
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck is he? And then I
Speaker 1: see these reports like he's been medically clear, they're just
Speaker 1: waiting for creative to come up with something for him
Speaker 1: to do. So that happens sometimes. But I'm very happy
Speaker 1: that he's doing better and you know, he's able to
Speaker 1: get back in the ring. As far as the Christian
Speaker 1: and Copeland alliance here again, it felt it felt last week.
Speaker 1: Even though they've been teasing it, it still felt rushed,
Speaker 1: like wow, they already gave it to us now, and
Speaker 1: then they made the announcement of the match instead of
Speaker 1: waiting on their first match in fourteen years and doing
Speaker 1: it in Toronto. It's like, Wow, they're giving this, They're
Speaker 1: given this to us at forbidden door, so that all
Speaker 1: but guarantees it's got to be a tag team championship
Speaker 1: match now in Toronto, because you've now given away the
Speaker 1: big attraction, which is seeing these two back in the
Speaker 1: ring together for the first time and so long. The
Speaker 1: next big attraction would be them going after the tag
Speaker 1: team titles, So I guess you know, save that for
Speaker 1: all Out. But Christian looked very hesitant last week, like
Speaker 1: Copeland hugged him, but he didn't really hug him back.
Speaker 1: So it kind of felt like they're not going to
Speaker 1: be quite on the same page where we have to
Speaker 1: get a face to face segment in the ring tonight.
Speaker 1: And we did, and I'll tell you why. I liked
Speaker 1: what they did. I liked what they did as far
Speaker 1: as Copeland saying, you know what, this guy is still
Speaker 1: an asshole, Christian saying, you know what, you have a need,
Speaker 1: which is some help against FTR. I have a need,
Speaker 1: I have a patriarchy problem. We can help each other out.
Speaker 1: What they established here is that Christian is still an asshole,
Speaker 1: but they're going to reunite these two and they're gonna
Speaker 1: get mileage out of the Big Cope and Christian reunion
Speaker 1: and then probably a Big Cope and Christian tag team
Speaker 1: title when they get to do all of these things
Speaker 1: with Christian not having to become a babyface, right because
Speaker 1: Christian is such a great slime ball heel that even
Speaker 1: if he is now more of a babyface, I don't
Speaker 1: think that should mean that he should just be a
Speaker 1: babyface like and do all the things that babyfaces do.
Speaker 1: That would suck, that would be lame. I like the
Speaker 1: fact that they're telling you, you know what, this guy's
Speaker 1: still going to be a dick, but we're going to
Speaker 1: put these two back together and do the reunion without
Speaker 1: him betraying, you know, everything that he's been doing for
Speaker 1: the last few years and just kind of like flipping
Speaker 1: on a dime, which would be dumb. So I like
Speaker 1: that they're not, you know, kind of bullshitting you, like,
Speaker 1: oh now he's a completely changed person, Like nobody wants
Speaker 1: to see that. Like I want the Christian cage that
Speaker 1: we've been seeing in AW so that aspect of it.
Speaker 1: I like at least they're going to maintain that for
Speaker 1: a while. Today's episode is sponsored by mint Mobile. Don't
Speaker 1: get burned by your wireless bill. Don't do it. You
Speaker 1: should be out enjoying the summer, traveling, going to barbecues,
Speaker 1: hitting the beach. The sun might burn you, but don't
Speaker 1: let your wireless provider do the same. That's why I
Speaker 1: made the switch to Mint Mobile. I could only see
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds on my TV so many times before I
Speaker 1: had to see what all the fuss was about for myself,
Speaker 1: and my only regret is that I wish I would
Speaker 1: have made the switch sooner. With mint you can get
Speaker 1: the coverage and speed that you're used to, but for
Speaker 1: a lot less than you're paying right now, and for
Speaker 1: a limited time, mint Mobile is offering three months of
Speaker 1: unlimited premium wireless service for just fifteen bucks a month.
Speaker 1: That's less than half the cost of an AEW pay

Speaker 1: you'll get a lot more use out of this. Say
Speaker 1: goodbye to your overpriced wireless plan and those depressing monthly

Speaker 1: been using Mint I can't say that I've had any
Speaker 1: complaints about their service. It's been fast, reliable. I haven't
Speaker 1: had to deal with any drop calls or Hey, you
Speaker 1: sounded like you were underwater there for a minute. I'm
Speaker 1: not underwater. I am not a fish. I'm very much
Speaker 1: a land mammal, and that's how I should sound when
Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with someone. Plus, when I see
Speaker 1: my bill now as compared to what it used to be,
Speaker 1: it really drives how many people there are out there
Speaker 1: paying way more than they should be for the same
Speaker 1: basic service. If you fall into that category, it's not
Speaker 1: too late to make the switch. In fact, now is
Speaker 1: a great time to make the switch with this special

Speaker 1: Taxes and fees extra see mint Mobile for details. Now,
Speaker 1: we had Ricochet backstage with the Gates of Agony, and
Speaker 1: they were immediately interrupted by MJF, who said that bald
Speaker 1: people and the thought of being bald freak him out.
Speaker 1: But he's here to conduct business and he doesn't like Ricochet.
Speaker 1: While he he doesn't like Ricochet, the enemy of my
Speaker 1: enemy is my friend, and he wanted them to help
Speaker 1: him take out Mark Briscoe. Tonight. Ricochet said that he
Speaker 1: would love to see MJF run around like a chicken
Speaker 1: with his head cut off, but he does admit he
Speaker 1: has an issue with Mark Briscoe, and so he accepts
Speaker 1: the offer and they shake hands. MJF then boots the
Speaker 1: cameraman away. So we're not aware of the details of
Speaker 1: this partnership here, of this deal that's been made. We're
Speaker 1: kind of in the dark about it. Not for very
Speaker 1: long though. After this, we had FTR against Brodie King
Speaker 1: and Bendida. This was the finals of the Tag Team
Speaker 1: Title Eliminator tournament. The winners of this match would go
Speaker 1: on to challenge for the AW World Tag Team titles
Speaker 1: this Sunday against Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin who During
Speaker 1: the match, they showed the Hurt Syndicate with MVP in
Speaker 1: the back watching, so they were paying very close attention
Speaker 1: to this match. Here Harwood and Bendido, they kicked things off,
Speaker 1: ended up in a stalemate. Brody King tagged in and
Speaker 1: he was frustrating Dax to the point that he went
Speaker 1: to ringside and started tossing chairs into the ring. Wheeler
Speaker 1: tagged in. He immediately lost a chop battle with Brody King,
Speaker 1: which sounds like a very bad idea. Brett Hart somewhere
Speaker 1: is shaking his head. Harwood tagged back in, he lost
Speaker 1: a chop battle himself. Harwood then managed to land a
Speaker 1: pile driver Brody King no sold it got right back up.
Speaker 1: He then landed a running sent on on both members
Speaker 1: of FTR. Bandido tagged in and he landed a double
Speaker 1: team splash with an assist from Brody. There's a referee
Speaker 1: distraction that led to Stokely Hathaway blasting Brody in the
Speaker 1: head with a pipe that he was concealing inside of
Speaker 1: his sling. Dax got on the microphone. He started talking
Speaker 1: shit to the crowd and told them to respect Big Stoke.
Speaker 1: This gave Brody King an opportunity to get some color
Speaker 1: here because when the camera panned back to him, he
Speaker 1: was bleeding like a pig. This guy, he was covered
Speaker 1: in blood. I mean, he looked like he hid an artery.
Speaker 1: Like they went to commercial and they came back and dude,
Speaker 1: like he's standing on the apron. He is pouring blood
Speaker 1: and it's in his eyes. He's trying to get out
Speaker 1: of his eyes. Like he looked like he hit an
Speaker 1: artery with whatever he did. But King made a hot
Speaker 1: tag to Bandido and he ran wild Code Red got
Speaker 1: a close near fall on Dax and Bandido sent both
Speaker 1: men crashing outside. That led to I should say that
Speaker 1: King made the tag to Bandido if I didn't make
Speaker 1: that clear, So Bandido is going nuts here for a
Speaker 1: little bit. He tried to do a dive out onto
Speaker 1: both members of FTR. They caught him though on the
Speaker 1: landing and slammed him face first down on the apron.
Speaker 1: Bandido remained isolated while King continued pouring blood on the apron.
Speaker 1: Harwood wanted a superplex. Bandido chopped free, knocked them down
Speaker 1: to the mat, hit a high cross body for a
Speaker 1: two count that took us into a second commercial break.
Speaker 1: And the longer this match goes, I'm thinking, Okay, I
Speaker 1: wasn't aware of what the time of it was. I
Speaker 1: kind of assumed it wasn't sixty minutes, But now I'm
Speaker 1: starting to think, boy, this is going long here. Who
Speaker 1: has a second commercial break? You know? Might they go
Speaker 1: the distance? They come back, Bandido hits a double hurt
Speaker 1: Knrana and a DDT with Brody finally able to make
Speaker 1: the tag. It's a big pop, big cannon ball sent
Speaker 1: on in the corner that led to Bandido blind tagging
Speaker 1: back in. As King took out FTR with a somersault
Speaker 1: sent on off the apron, Bandido flew in with a
Speaker 1: dive of his own. Harwood was sent back inside his
Speaker 1: wheeler got squashed up against the barricade by Brody. So
Speaker 1: the referee see stokely and he's trying to trip up Bandido,
Speaker 1: but he does nothing, just does nothing about it. Bandido
Speaker 1: kicks him away and then hits a frog splash on
Speaker 1: hardwood for two. Wheeler escapes a power slam attempt by
Speaker 1: Brody outside and then sends him into the ring post
Speaker 1: hits a tornado DDT off the apron. FTR wanted the
Speaker 1: power plex. King, though choked Wheeler off the apron and
Speaker 1: Dax hit a back superplex as Wheeler flew in with
Speaker 1: a splash for a closed two count, and Brian Danielson
Speaker 1: is on commentary and he is just losing his mind.
Speaker 1: Arcady Aura, she was doing the ring announcing tonight. She
Speaker 1: told us twenty five minutes had passed. Five minutes left
Speaker 1: in the match, right as King ate a shatter machine,
Speaker 1: but FTR missed the blind tag, so Bandido flew in
Speaker 1: with a victory roll on Cash for a two count.
Speaker 1: There was a Wonky La Mahiestral cradle attempt for another
Speaker 1: near fall. FTR hit an inverted doomsday device. Bandido, though
Speaker 1: kicked out. Brody saved Bandido from a shatter machine. Now
Speaker 1: we have two minutes left in this match. Bandido missed
Speaker 1: the moon saw, rolled through nearly eight a shatter machine,
Speaker 1: but countered into a DDT on Cash, who saved his
Speaker 1: partner from taking a twenty one plex after that, so
Speaker 1: they finally hit the shatter machine. Took them half the match,
Speaker 1: but they finally hit the shatter machine. Brody breaks up
Speaker 1: the pin and the fans are invested in this. You know,
Speaker 1: they're hanging out to the near falls. You know again,
Speaker 1: Brody's pouring blood here. These guys have gone almost half
Speaker 1: an hour, so they had the crowd. We get the
Speaker 1: one minute time call and this is announced over the
Speaker 1: PA system, and so there's sixty seconds left in this match,
Speaker 1: and what does FTR do. Bizarrely, they opt to set
Speaker 1: a table up outside the ring, up against the barricade. Okay,
Speaker 1: they set a table up outside for reasons that were
Speaker 1: not explained, because there's just some things that cannot be explained.
Speaker 1: There's no logic to explain something like that. Wheeler was
Speaker 1: about to hit a dive out onto Bandido King Those
Speaker 1: shoved his partner out of the way and cash Wheeler
Speaker 1: crashed and burned, went right through the table just as
Speaker 1: the time expired, so they ring the bell. The matches over.
Speaker 1: Bandido still hit the twenty one plex in the ring
Speaker 1: on Dax anyway, and then covers him and counts his
Speaker 1: own fall and starts like raising his hand and celebrating,
Speaker 1: as you know, as if he like. It don't work
Speaker 1: that way, my fraid. Okay, like even in Mexico, it
Speaker 1: don't work that way. Me and Migo that those are
Speaker 1: not the rules. That doesn't count. So Arcadyara announces the
Speaker 1: match as a draw. Everybody booze, and you could see
Speaker 1: her like she puts her finger up like to the earpiece,
Speaker 1: and five seconds later she says, Oh, I've been informed
Speaker 1: he's on the ball. I've been informed by Tony Kahan
Speaker 1: that at Forbidden Door it is now official. Both teams
Speaker 1: will challenge the Hurt Syndicate in what will now be
Speaker 1: a triple threat match, a three way for the aw
Speaker 1: World Tag Team titles. And that brings out Bobby Lashley
Speaker 1: and Shelton Benjamin. They walk out into the aisle, they
Speaker 1: hold up their titles, and they pose and that was
Speaker 1: the end of that. It was a very good match.
Speaker 1: They went the distance, They went the full thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: You know, when I did my predictions this weekend and
Speaker 1: even last night on Tuesday Night Titans, I floated this
Speaker 1: very idea, especially in light of these reports of MVP,
Speaker 1: you know, allegedly rejecting creative pitches for the Hurt Syndicate
Speaker 1: to drop the tag team titles to FTR at all
Speaker 1: In and to drop them to FTR at Forbidden Door.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, in light of the those reports,
Speaker 1: I wasn't really surprised to see them go this route.
Speaker 1: I thought this is what they might do. Also because
Speaker 1: if FTR would have won, you would have ended up
Speaker 1: with the Hurt Syndicate and FTR at Forbidden Door. And
Speaker 1: even if the people are cheering for the Hurt Syndicate,
Speaker 1: they're not a babyfaced team. They're not. It's two heel teams.
Speaker 1: So adding Brody King and Bandito, who are a very
Speaker 1: good team, like, I don't mind them adding them to
Speaker 1: that match and making it a three way. I think
Speaker 1: it's kind of, you know, lazy, that we now have
Speaker 1: back to back pay per views where the tag team
Speaker 1: title matches contested in a three way, because they did
Speaker 1: the exact same thing in Texas, and that whole situation
Speaker 1: was very weird because you had FTR literally sitting there
Speaker 1: at ringside doing commentary for the match when they should
Speaker 1: have been in the fucking match instead of wrestling on
Speaker 1: the pre show against the Outrunners. It should have been
Speaker 1: a four way. Just make it a four way and
Speaker 1: put the tag team titles on the line in Texas.
Speaker 1: But that's where those reports about certain ideas being vetoed
Speaker 1: and rejected, you know, comes into play and makes the
Speaker 1: story a little more interesting. But now we have a
Speaker 1: three way match, and so the Hertz Syndikit can drop
Speaker 1: their titles on Sunday without taking the losing fall. And
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly why Brody King and Benditdo were
Speaker 1: in that match. And Brody King is the one who's
Speaker 1: gonna eat the pin I believe on Sunday, because it
Speaker 1: would be kind of stupid to pin the Ring of
Speaker 1: Honor World champion Brody King. I know he's bigger and
Speaker 1: all that, but he's not the Ring of Honor World champion.
Speaker 1: So if somebody was gonna get pinned in this match,
Speaker 1: it would be him. And that's how I think things
Speaker 1: are going to play out on Sunday. But again, Brodido
Speaker 1: is a great team. There are a lot of fun
Speaker 1: to watch. I don't mind them getting a spot on
Speaker 1: the show, and you know, I think it'll I think
Speaker 1: it'll make for an even better match. But I will
Speaker 1: say this, like man, if this was done as a
Speaker 1: way to Playcate, someone who was all up in their
Speaker 1: field about not wanting to lose to FTR, that's said.
Speaker 1: I mean that is that is said, and it's not
Speaker 1: a good look for Tony Khan. If that's why this
Speaker 1: was done. It's not a good look for Tony Khan.
Speaker 1: But now the match is set weeks and weeks of
Speaker 1: a tournament and we never got an actual winner to
Speaker 1: this tournament. So after this, the aw World champion Hangman
Speaker 1: Adam Page, who was It seems like ever since he's
Speaker 1: won the championship he has been very, very angry. You
Speaker 1: would think he would have mellowed a little bit after
Speaker 1: winning the title in Texas and getting that big moment,
Speaker 1: but he just seems to get angrier by the week.
Speaker 1: And he power walked out to the ring. He was
Speaker 1: not happy about the way Dynamite ended last week. Dynamite
Speaker 1: ended last week in the parking lot with him being
Speaker 1: beaten down by MJF. And he brings that up and
Speaker 1: he says that's how MJF likes to handle things. He's
Speaker 1: very opportunity. If MJF ever had a problem in his life.
Speaker 1: He can't look at it head on. He doesn't have
Speaker 1: the balls too. It's a waste of everyone's time to
Speaker 1: call MJF out to the ring to get the piss
Speaker 1: beaten out of him, as he is a gutless coward.
Speaker 1: Once MJF signs that Casino Gauntlet contract, though, there will
Speaker 1: be no backstabbing, and he swears to God that he
Speaker 1: will shove his ostrich leathers up mjf's checkered print ass.
Speaker 1: That's right. Mjf's music hits and he's waiting for him
Speaker 1: to come out and there's no MJF. Tony Shavani stands
Speaker 1: up at ringside and he said that he was told
Speaker 1: he's being told that MJF has a message for Hangman
Speaker 1: from the back, and he's being told that if Hangman
Speaker 1: leaves the ring at any point during this video, I
Speaker 1: guess that he's about to play or whatever's about to happen.
Speaker 1: If he tries I used to leave the ring and
Speaker 1: steps outside that ring, something very bad is going to happen.
Speaker 1: So now we see MJF on the big screen and
Speaker 1: he reminds Seabiscuit that he is most vulnerable when he's angry,
Speaker 1: which is all the time Rikoshet in the Gates of Agony,
Speaker 1: So this circles back to the deal that they made
Speaker 1: earlier in the night Rikoshet in the Gates of Agony
Speaker 1: are shown with Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscoe is tied to
Speaker 1: a chair and he is barely conscious. MJF says that
Speaker 1: Hangman will give him what he wants, and all he
Speaker 1: has is three simple requests. So MJF goes, he lifts
Speaker 1: a can of gas. He pours it all over Mark Briscoe,
Speaker 1: all over his head, and he says that if Hangman
Speaker 1: does not give him what he wants, then Briscoe is
Speaker 1: going to be Kentucky Fried. So MJF says that at
Speaker 1: Forbidden Door, this is what he wants. Request number one
Speaker 1: the title can change hands on a disqualification. Request number two,
Speaker 1: the title can change hands on a count out. And finally,
Speaker 1: since he's basically got this guy by the balls right now,
Speaker 1: he goes, I may as well throw this in there.
Speaker 1: I wasn't planning on this, but I may as well
Speaker 1: throw this in there. You think he got one over
Speaker 1: on me last week by making me agree to put
Speaker 1: my contract up and sign the contract and cash it
Speaker 1: in instead of getting the championship match that he felt
Speaker 1: he earned. You're gonna make me use my contract, but
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. The third request is that
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to use his contract on Sunday, but
Speaker 1: he still gets an aw World Championship match. So Bishop
Speaker 1: Cone con Cone, whatever, the good Bishop. He hands MJF
Speaker 1: a lighter, says that Hangman has untiled the count of five.
Speaker 1: He counts one, two, and Hangman is freaking out in
Speaker 1: the ring. He's telling him to put the lighter because
Speaker 1: he's got a lighter in his hand. He goes put
Speaker 1: the lighter down, put the lighter down, three, four, and
Speaker 1: before he can count to five, Hangman says, okay, I agree,
Speaker 1: you got it. You got it. He gave into exactly
Speaker 1: what he wanted. He gave into all of his demands,
Speaker 1: and MJF says congratulations. Hangman is still a hero, and
Speaker 1: Paige grabs a chair and he charges backstage as they
Speaker 1: go to a commercial break. After the break, we see Hangman.
Speaker 1: He's power walking through the back. He finds Ricochet. He
Speaker 1: cracks him right in the back with that chair and
Speaker 1: he's demanding to know where MJF is so security now
Speaker 1: has swarmed around Hangman and they tell him that MJF
Speaker 1: has left the building. So in response to this, Hangman
Speaker 1: punches the one security guy who told him this. He
Speaker 1: punches him in the face because I just because he's
Speaker 1: a hot head, he has a temper. And then at
Speaker 1: that point he storms out of the arena and then
Speaker 1: the Gates of Agony show out. But what happened a
Speaker 1: little late to the party, I would say, nothing like
Speaker 1: a little attempted murder When you can't get what you
Speaker 1: are hoping to get here on this show, it's a
Speaker 1: good strategy. I mean, it worked out here for MJF.
Speaker 1: I would have called his bluff. Might not have ended
Speaker 1: well for Mark Briscoe. But so that is how MJF
Speaker 1: was able to get what he wanted here. I will
Speaker 1: say this, obviously, this is all very silly. Anytime there's
Speaker 1: any kind of attempted murder on a wrestling show, it's
Speaker 1: obviously very ridiculous. But in this case, at least, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, he had some help from Ricochet
Speaker 1: in the Gates of Agony, and Ricochet lost to Mark
Speaker 1: Briscoe a few weeks ago, and was embarrassed by him,
Speaker 1: so he sort of had an axe to grind. That's
Speaker 1: why he was so quick to agree to this. It's still,
Speaker 1: you know, very silly, but it does make the main
Speaker 1: event more interesting now now that MJF has the ability
Speaker 1: to go in there without the contract, challenge for the title, lose,
Speaker 1: and potentially that same night he could still cashing to
Speaker 1: win that championship. At least the possibility of that makes
Speaker 1: the match a little more unpredictable a little bit, and
Speaker 1: it makes things a little more interesting. I don't see
Speaker 1: MJF winning the title esse yet, even with all the stipulations,
Speaker 1: because now think about it, the deck is stacked against Hangman.
Speaker 1: He could lose the title by pinfall, submission, count out,
Speaker 1: or disqualification, and MJF if he loses, he still has
Speaker 1: that contract as his insurance policy. But I just feel
Speaker 1: like this is only Hangman's second title defense after that
Speaker 1: big moment, that big crowning moment in Texas. It's too
Speaker 1: early to take the title away from him. And there
Speaker 1: are things that you can do in the course of
Speaker 1: this match with MJF. Instead of just beating him straight up.
Speaker 1: There are things you could do to protect him from
Speaker 1: for another title shot or another like a rematch with Hangman,
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, if not forbidden Door, then win. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking of World's End. You know, World's End
Speaker 1: is the very last pay per view this year. That's
Speaker 1: the December twenty seventh show World's End. God, when was
Speaker 1: it two years ago? Now, World's End was the event
Speaker 1: where MJF lost the aw World title to samo Joe,
Speaker 1: So it would be kind of appropriate. I think if
Speaker 1: at World's End this year and they're in Chicago this year,
Speaker 1: if that was where he you know, cashed in that
Speaker 1: contract and they close out the year with MJF winning
Speaker 1: the championship back at the very event where he last
Speaker 1: held it, and that gives Hangman a few months, you know,
Speaker 1: to have an actual run as champion, give it a
Speaker 1: little bit of length, and then get the belt off
Speaker 1: of him and onto MJF. So I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 1: for all all we know, if he doesn't win this week,
Speaker 1: maybe they're shooting for Toronto at all out, But I
Speaker 1: just I was thinking about World's End and thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: that would give Hangman, you know, four months, four or
Speaker 1: five months. MJF is going to win that title. I
Speaker 1: think when MJF cashes in that contract, he's winning the championship,
Speaker 1: because I think Athena is not. And I think one
Speaker 1: of them at least has to successfully cash in that contract.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be him. I don't think it's going
Speaker 1: to be on Sunday, though, And so how do they
Speaker 1: do the finish well? I mean there's any number of ways.
Speaker 1: I mean, he tried to burn Mark Briscoe alive. I
Speaker 1: would say there's still a pretty good chance that Mark
Speaker 1: Briscoe shows up and maybe stops him from doing something
Speaker 1: the farious I mentioned. He goes to use the dynamite
Speaker 1: diamond ring. It could be as simple as that, and
Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe shows up and stops him from doing so.
Speaker 1: Adding the disqualification stipulation again, that's a little wrinkle. It
Speaker 1: makes things a little more interesting. But like when you
Speaker 1: have a stipulation like that and you have somebody like MJF,
Speaker 1: I go back to what I said earlier, like why
Speaker 1: wouldn't he just pay off someone to come out and
Speaker 1: just punch him in the face, like thirty seconds into
Speaker 1: the match, you know what I mean? Like, and maybe
Speaker 1: during the course of the match, maybe they will play
Speaker 1: out something like that, but before the person can actually
Speaker 1: hit him, you know, hangman stops him. It just seems
Speaker 1: like the sort of thing that you would you would
Speaker 1: think he would do. But I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: are they going to reveal that he never really was
Speaker 1: kicked out of the Hurt Syndicate and the Hurt Syndicate
Speaker 1: helps him win, or is somebody else going to show up?
Speaker 1: Is you know, I don't know. I don't know. There's
Speaker 1: any number of possibilities here, but I am fairly certain
Speaker 1: that he's not going to leave London with that championship.
Speaker 1: The main event of the show was Mercedes Monet and
Speaker 1: Athena as tag team partners against Timeless Tony Storm and
Speaker 1: Alex Windsor. I love that name, Missus brev Alex Windsor.
Speaker 1: We had the CMLL representative in the four way match
Speaker 1: for the TBS title on Sunday. She was in the
Speaker 1: front row. Persephone. She was there and they announced that
Speaker 1: Bozilla will be representing Stardom in the TVs title four
Speaker 1: way on Sunday. Someone who was I don't believe ever
Speaker 1: appeared for aw. She's still very young. I think she's
Speaker 1: twenty one years old and still very new to stardom.
Speaker 1: I want to say that she only first wrestled there
Speaker 1: in June, I think, And so again it was like
Speaker 1: we waited, and who's going to be the representative and
Speaker 1: then they just sort of dumped it on us and
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, plug her in there. I guess it's
Speaker 1: just all right, Bozilla it is, I guess. So Money
Speaker 1: and Windsor they started the match. Mercedes walked into a
Speaker 1: fallaway slam, and Windsor tagged in Tony's Storm. Mercedes was
Speaker 1: thrown off of her game because Tony was playing some
Speaker 1: head game. She was playing some doing some lesbian teases
Speaker 1: here as she is wont to do in some of
Speaker 1: her matches, and this freaked out Mercedes, and so she
Speaker 1: tagged out to Athena. Storm and Athena they traded offense
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Tony got the better of it
Speaker 1: with a backbreaker. All four women ended up in the ring,
Speaker 1: and Storm and Windsor they took control with a pair
Speaker 1: of headbutts Mercedes and Tony. They avoided stereo hip attacks,
Speaker 1: but she and Athena couldn't agree on a game plan,
Speaker 1: and Athena is yelling at Mercedes and demanding like, come on,
Speaker 1: get it together here, So she has Mercedes go to
Speaker 1: the ropes and pull up on the middle rope to
Speaker 1: create an opening between the middle rope and the bottom rope.
Speaker 1: Athena comes off the ropes and she does a low
Speaker 1: dive through the ropes out to the floor onto Windsor,
Speaker 1: and in doing so, this was the sick bump of
Speaker 1: the night. Actually both the big bumps of the night
Speaker 1: came in this match. But she flew out of the
Speaker 1: ring and men when she hit Windsor, she also smacked
Speaker 1: her own head. I mean like a lawn dart. She
Speaker 1: like lawn darted herself right into the announced desk. It
Speaker 1: made a thud. It looked awful for her, it looked awful.
Speaker 1: And Mercedes is sitting on the apron right sitting there
Speaker 1: doing her dance, completely unbothered by the fact that her
Speaker 1: tag team partner just brained herself right in front of her.
Speaker 1: And also she's not paying attention because here comes Tony
Speaker 1: Storm off the ropes with a running hip attack, and
Speaker 1: with her hips she knocks Mercedes off the apron to
Speaker 1: the floor. Storm tried a DDT off the apron on Athena,
Speaker 1: who just slammed Tony down violently. Windsor was able to
Speaker 1: hit a running sentan off the apron onto Athena and Monette,
Speaker 1: and all four women were down. As they went to
Speaker 1: the final commercial break, Windsor was worked over during the
Speaker 1: entire commercial. Things came back with her ducking a forearm
Speaker 1: by Athena, which connected with Mercedes by accident. This allowed
Speaker 1: Storm to come on in with the Mongolian shops. Thees
Speaker 1: Press took out Athena, Monet and Athena. They regained their composure.
Speaker 1: They started making some frequent tags. Tony, though, avoided a
Speaker 1: running Meteora in the corner and then delivered a DDT
Speaker 1: to Athena and crawled towards her corner. Windsor tagged in
Speaker 1: delivered to sit out power bomb on Mercedes. Athena broke
Speaker 1: up the fall Tony and Athena. They brawled outside and
Speaker 1: Athena delivered a storm zero on the ring steps to
Speaker 1: Tony's storm. This was the other big bump of the match,
Speaker 1: fucking pile driver on the ring steps and it looked
Speaker 1: brutal and Athena starts cackling. Mercedes attempted a cross face
Speaker 1: inside the ring Windsor though power out and delivered a
Speaker 1: samoan drop. Windsor then applied a sharpshooter. Mercedes tapped out,
Speaker 1: but Aubrey Edwards tells Windsor she's not the legal woman.
Speaker 1: It doesn't count. Now. The referee has just told you
Speaker 1: that this woman is not legal. And of course Windsor
Speaker 1: just keeps arguing the point like an idiot, like a
Speaker 1: dumb babyface. And so while she's arguing this, and she's
Speaker 1: got her back turned and she doesn't see, and we
Speaker 1: don't see because it's off camera that Athena is on
Speaker 1: the top rope in position and she comes flying off
Speaker 1: with a flying o face and she drops Alex Windsor
Speaker 1: and covers her for the wind for the Windsor. There
Speaker 1: you go. See she got the Windsor here in this match.
Speaker 1: Yes she did. Look, I try my best here on
Speaker 1: Wednesdays to entertain myself. That's all I can do. After
Speaker 1: the match of Mercedes and Prosephone, they were barking back
Speaker 1: at one another outside the ring. Tony is outside, she's
Speaker 1: clutching her neck from the pile driver on the steps,
Speaker 1: and Athena is celebrating in That is how Dynamite went
Speaker 1: off the air, so we had a solid main event.
Speaker 1: Here looks like they're going to play up the injury.
Speaker 1: It looks like the story of Forbidden Door in multiple
Speaker 1: matches is going to be playing up various injuries. I
Speaker 1: don't know what this says about the AW roster that
Speaker 1: everybody is always hurt, but right they're playing up a
Speaker 1: knee injury potentially in the Swerve match with Okada. Now
Speaker 1: that looks like they're going to play up potentially a
Speaker 1: neck injury with Tony Storm. In the match with Athena.
Speaker 1: Will Osprey has two herniated discs in his neck and
Speaker 1: they're absolutely playing that up going into the lights out
Speaker 1: Cage match. My missing any other ones, any other injuries
Speaker 1: going into these matches this weekend, So that's gonna be
Speaker 1: the story there. It looks like I would love it
Speaker 1: if Athena walked out with the women's championship and Tony
Speaker 1: had a chase to get it back. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, and I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 1: happen for multiple reasons, and tonight just solidified it. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, seeing Athena stan tall and get the big
Speaker 1: win there at the end. But honestly, she is the
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor Women's World Champion. I have no idea
Speaker 1: why she is still after all this time, almost a
Speaker 1: thousand days now, why she has to still be the
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor Women's World Champion, But she is. And
Speaker 1: it better not be a situation where she just loses
Speaker 1: on Sunday and goes right back to Rohl. That better
Speaker 1: not fucking happen. But because she's the Ring of Honor
Speaker 1: Women's World Champion, I don't see there being room for
Speaker 1: more than one belt collector in this division, right, we
Speaker 1: have one belt collector already. It's kind of her thing.
Speaker 1: I don't see them putting a second title on Athena
Speaker 1: and having two world titles. I just don't see it.
Speaker 1: Should be a great match. I'm looking forward to the match,
Speaker 1: but she's going to cash in her her Gauntlet match contract.
Speaker 1: I think she's gonna lose, and I just hope that
Speaker 1: that's not the end of Athena on Dynamite. I hope
Speaker 1: this isn't just like Okay, she had her shot, she
Speaker 1: lost back to Ring of Honor with you, right, that
Speaker 1: would be very stupid. Then I look at this TBS
Speaker 1: title match here, and the problem is outside of Alex Windsor, right.
Speaker 1: And this is to say nothing of what the quality
Speaker 1: of the match might end up being. But you look
Speaker 1: at this field, Alex Windsor at least they've been giving
Speaker 1: her TV time. They've been trying to push her. She's
Speaker 1: still new to the roster, but they've been trying with her.
Speaker 1: They've done absolutely nothing to spotlight the other two challengers
Speaker 1: in that match, Like Persephone, she's been around like I'm
Speaker 1: aware of who she is, and I'm I'm almost positive
Speaker 1: that she's wrestled before in aw I don't remember now,
Speaker 1: But you know what did we see of her in
Speaker 1: the build up to this? She was in the front
Speaker 1: Road tonight. That's it. We were told that Persephone will
Speaker 1: be representing CMLL and what we got here in the
Speaker 1: build up to this four way match was hurt yelling
Speaker 1: at Mercedes from the front Road tonight with Bozilla. It's
Speaker 1: even worse. We've never seen her before and they have
Speaker 1: not mentioned her one time because we didn't even find
Speaker 1: out she's in the fucking match until tonight via graphic
Speaker 1: how they announced a lot of stuff and it's like okay,
Speaker 1: and they mentioned the fact that you know, she's second generation,
Speaker 1: which I wasn't sure. I had to look it up.
Speaker 1: Like second generation. Her father was ulf Herman, who you
Speaker 1: may recall the original ACW in the late nineties. He
Speaker 1: was part of the full Blooded Italians for a while.
Speaker 1: So that was her dad. And that's it. Second generation
Speaker 1: stardum talent Bozilla. She's going to be in the four
Speaker 1: way on Sunday for the TBS Championship. And it's like,
Speaker 1: I see persephones in there, and it's like, who cares
Speaker 1: Bozilla is going to be in the match? Who gives
Speaker 1: a shit? Does anybody in the world honestly believe that
Speaker 1: either one of those women have a prayer of actually
Speaker 1: winning the TBS Championship. No, and even if they did,
Speaker 1: even if they were bigger names and people said, wow,
Speaker 1: that's a big name, Like, they haven't given you a
Speaker 1: reason to care. They have not done anything to build
Speaker 1: up these other two challengers. But it's forbidden doors, so
Speaker 1: we have to have people in the match representing other promotions,
Speaker 1: and so we'll just sort of toss them in there,
Speaker 1: and it's just such it's just such a very lazy,
Speaker 1: lame on event. Fl wait to build up a match
Speaker 1: for what is supposed to be your second biggest championship
Speaker 1: in that division. So I can't bring myself to get
Speaker 1: excited for a match like that. It's just it's slapped
Speaker 1: together and it's not going to be anything but a
Speaker 1: win for Mercedes because now they're close. Right now, they're close.
Speaker 1: They're two months away, less than two months away. All
Speaker 1: they got to do is hold out until October tenth,
Speaker 1: and Mercedes is going to surpass Jade Cargill as the
Speaker 1: longest reigning TBS champion in the history of AW. They
Speaker 1: have not made it this far and not taken the
Speaker 1: title off of her to have her drop it here
Speaker 1: to Alex windsor at this point, you may as well
Speaker 1: go all the way with it. Let her break the record.
Speaker 1: Let her break the record, and then after that, once
Speaker 1: they got that out of their system, let her drop
Speaker 1: it to someone on the AW roster that they actually
Speaker 1: would like to try to elevate and push to that
Speaker 1: next level. You know, they've waited so long that at
Speaker 1: this point they may well end up coming back around
Speaker 1: later this year or beginning of next year to fucking
Speaker 1: Harley Cameron and end up having her beat Mercedes to
Speaker 1: win the championship. They did that little story with them
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: she you know, it's too soon, right, it's too soon
Speaker 1: for Harley. Now is not really the time. But if
Speaker 1: by chance Mercedes is still the champion, you know, the
Speaker 1: end of the year, and she won't be. But if
Speaker 1: she is, well, here we are, and yeah it looks
Speaker 1: like she will be. But at this point you may
Speaker 1: as well just wait, let her break the record. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this match here, it's like, okay for Stephanie and
Speaker 1: Bozilla and who gives a shit. But that's the issue
Speaker 1: with some of these forbidden door matches. It's just the
Speaker 1: lackluster build, including the unified title match. I'll throw that
Speaker 1: one in there too, and that's not even a forbidden
Speaker 1: door match, that's an aw match. But the build up
Speaker 1: to this Ocata Swarb Strickland match has been very like dull.
Speaker 1: It's been very, very very dull. They haven't even really
Speaker 1: been featured all that often on TV. Swerve has really
Speaker 1: and maybe he is legitimately hurt, but like Swerve has
Speaker 1: really been phased down in these last several weeks. The thing, though,
Speaker 1: is that these matches on paper, they should all deliver.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not really worried about the quality of the match,
Speaker 1: you know, once the bell rings, I just wish I
Speaker 1: had more of a reason to actually get excited for
Speaker 1: these matches. And this is what Tony Kahn typically relies on,
Speaker 1: you know, even when the booking is not great and
Speaker 1: it gives me a headache. You rely on the talent
Speaker 1: to go out there and do what they do best,
Speaker 1: you know, you rely on them to go out there
Speaker 1: and have kick ass matches on these pay per views,
Speaker 1: which is why these pay per views in terms of
Speaker 1: like the in ring quality of what we see on
Speaker 1: them are top notch. So I'm not really worried about that,
Speaker 1: but I just I wish there was more to it
Speaker 1: than just that. And in so many of these matches
Speaker 1: for the TNT title match there too, there's just nothing
Speaker 1: there but forbidden door card. Let's go through this real quick.
Speaker 1: This is now the current probably not final. They did
Speaker 1: not mention any of the zero hour pre show matches,
Speaker 1: but this is the card as it stands. I'll throw
Speaker 1: my predictions in here as we go along. Kyle Fletcher,
Speaker 1: He's going to defend the TNT Championship against Hiromu Takahashi
Speaker 1: from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Kyle Fletcher, He's going to
Speaker 1: retain the TNT Championship. Nigel McGinnis. He won a four
Speaker 1: way match John Collision last week to earn the right
Speaker 1: to challenge Zach Saber Junior for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
Speaker 1: And after the four way victory, he asked Daniel Garcia
Speaker 1: to be in his corner, and Daniel Garcia, who was
Speaker 1: very frustrated that he did not win that match, agreed.
Speaker 1: And I suspect that Daniel Garcia may be going heal
Speaker 1: soon and he may play a role in Nigel's downfall
Speaker 1: here in this match. But Zach Saber Junior gonna walk
Speaker 1: in as the champion. Zach Saber Junior gonna walk out
Speaker 1: as the champion. Mercedes Monette defends her TBS Championship against
Speaker 1: Alex Windsor, Persephonie and Bozilla. I mean, do I even
Speaker 1: need to repeat myself? Mercedes Mercedes Monette, who it looks
Speaker 1: like is on the verge very soon of winning her
Speaker 1: ninth title, she is going after another championship in Rev
Speaker 1: Pro very soon. It's actually title for title and it
Speaker 1: is a very good chance she's gonna end up with
Speaker 1: nine belts when that match is over. She ain't losing
Speaker 1: this one though, I'll tell you that much. Adam Copeland
Speaker 1: and Christian Cage. They reuniting to take on kill Switch
Speaker 1: in Kip Sabian. You know what, it's not a four
Speaker 1: gun conclusion that Copeland and Christian win this match, but
Speaker 1: I feel like they have to. It would be silly
Speaker 1: for them not to, especially if the idea is for
Speaker 1: them to challenge for the titles in Toronto. You can't
Speaker 1: have them lose and then give them a tag team
Speaker 1: championship match. So Copeland and Christian first match back in
Speaker 1: a very long time, first match ever together in aw
Speaker 1: I know, kill Switch just came back, but that's why
Speaker 1: Kip Sabian's in there. Kip Sabien can lose the match
Speaker 1: and then get killed by kill Switch. Copeland and Christian win.
Speaker 1: In his first defense of the Unified Championship, Kauzuchka Okada
Speaker 1: will defend the title against Swerve Strickland. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the status is of this supposed knee injury, if
Speaker 1: it's all storylined, if he is actually hurt, maybe that's
Speaker 1: why we haven't seen too much of him on TV
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks, but that injury is an
Speaker 1: out for them for Swerve when he loses to Okada,
Speaker 1: which he will. I would not even think about taking
Speaker 1: the championship off of Okada until you play out this
Speaker 1: match at some point between him and Takeshta, who just
Speaker 1: won the g one. By the way, he may be
Speaker 1: the IWGP champion very very soon, depending on what happens there.
Speaker 1: That will sort of I think dictate the timing of
Speaker 1: the Takeshta Ocada stuff. Maybe they put it off until
Speaker 1: early next year, but when he drops that championship, I
Speaker 1: think it should be to Takeshta, not the Swerve. Swerve
Speaker 1: doesn't need it. The Hurt Syndicate, Bobby Lashley and Shelton
Speaker 1: Benjamin defend the aw World Tag Team titles in a
Speaker 1: triple threat match against FTR and Brodido. This is where
Speaker 1: FTR wins the tag team titles and then they can
Speaker 1: go on to defend against Cope and Christian. This is
Speaker 1: textbook stuff here. Regardless of who may or may not
Speaker 1: like the idea too bad, it's the idea that makes
Speaker 1: the most sense. It's the idea that Tony Cohn should
Speaker 1: go with FTR leaves London as your new AW World
Speaker 1: Tag Team Champions Timeless. Tony Storm defends the AW Women's
Speaker 1: World Championship against Athena. Oh How. I would love for
Speaker 1: Athena to get the win here, but it ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: She's cashing in that contract. She's losing. Tony Storm is
Speaker 1: going to retain the AW Women's World title. The Moldy
Speaker 1: Cheeseburger has made a prediction here. Mercedes Monett gets impregnated
Speaker 1: by Mantar Junior, but refuses to vacate her one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty belts. Mantar Junior, imagine my shock when I
Speaker 1: was watching Triple Mania and I saw tourists come out,
Speaker 1: and I said, am I seeing things here? This looks
Speaker 1: it awful, lot like someone else that I see, but
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't work for this company. Then we
Speaker 1: have the ten men five on five lights out unsanctioned
Speaker 1: steel cage match will Spray Darby Allen Hiroshi, Tanahashi, Kenny
Speaker 1: Omega and Kota Ibushi taking on John Moxley, Claudio Castig, Nooli,
Speaker 1: Gabe Kid, who himself is barely recovered from a meniscus
Speaker 1: tear in his knee and the Young Bucks. This will
Speaker 1: be tana Hashi's last ever match in the UK. I
Speaker 1: was going with the baby Faces and my original predictions,
Speaker 1: I was going with Team Osprey for the win. I
Speaker 1: am changing my prediction and I believe the Heels are
Speaker 1: going to go over. I think Osprey's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna give it his all and pour his heart
Speaker 1: out here and do something wild and crazy, and maybe
Speaker 1: Tanahashi will maybe Tanahashi will try a high fly flow
Speaker 1: from the top of the cage. Can you imagine. I
Speaker 1: don't know that this cage is gonna be very big.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this on TNT last night that the Ring
Speaker 1: of Honor YouTube channel they uploaded recently a match from
Speaker 1: two thousand and six which was Team CZW against Team
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor, and it was contested inside of a
Speaker 1: very unique cage that was very low, but it went around.
Speaker 1: It was almos It's almost like it was like baby proof,
Speaker 1: where you put like a gate up for a baby
Speaker 1: or like a dog or a cat. So it wasn't
Speaker 1: very tall, but it enveloped the entire ringside area, not
Speaker 1: just the ring, and I suspect that's the kind of
Speaker 1: cage that they'll be using here, So there may not
Speaker 1: be a tall cage for anybody to jump off of,
Speaker 1: but someone's gonna do something nuts in this match, and
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna blow up in the baby faces faces.
Speaker 1: And I do think that you know they're gonna do
Speaker 1: Darby and Moxley one on one, probably it all out,
Speaker 1: Probably makes more sense for the Heels to go over here,
Speaker 1: So I'm going with the Heels. I'm going with team Moxley,
Speaker 1: team Bucks for the win. And then Hangman Adam Page
Speaker 1: against MJF in what I assume is going to be
Speaker 1: the main event for the AW World Championship. Things got
Speaker 1: a little more interesting here now that we know that
Speaker 1: the contract is not being cashed in, it is not
Speaker 1: being invoked for this match, which means he will still
Speaker 1: have that contract. Title can change hands a number of
Speaker 1: different ways here. I am expecting a Mark Briscoe cameo.
Speaker 1: Is Mark Briscoe going to try to help Hangman and
Speaker 1: it ends up costing Hangman because of the disqualification stip
Speaker 1: and that's how MJF wins the championship. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think Hangman's retaining just a matter of how do
Speaker 1: they do it, how do they do it in a
Speaker 1: way that protects MJF for an eventual championship match when
Speaker 1: he ultimately does cash in. I think Hangman is leaving
Speaker 1: London with the title. I think you want to give
Speaker 1: him a little more time with it. I know some
Speaker 1: people might look at it and go, man, just shake
Speaker 1: things up. Put the belt on MJF. Right, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: hate it if they put the belt on MJF. He's
Speaker 1: going to get it anyway, whether it's August, whether it's
Speaker 1: all out, whether its world's end. And I don't mind that.
Speaker 1: I just think that this needs to go on for
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. You got to play this thing
Speaker 1: out a little bit more. But there's a lot of
Speaker 1: variables to play here. Does the Hurt Syndicate get involved,
Speaker 1: Does Mark Briscoe get involved? If somebody we're not thinking
Speaker 1: of get involved. They've they've opened it up now to
Speaker 1: a number of different possibilities. I think Hangman rotains finally.
Speaker 1: I remember who wants to be a millionaire? Final answer?
Speaker 1: It's my final answer, and I remember it starts at
Speaker 1: one o'clock Eastern time. I will probably go live around
Speaker 1: eight o'clock Eastern time, so when the show ends, you know,
Speaker 1: a little couple of hours go by, get myself situated,
Speaker 1: and then we'll go live. So that'll be on Sunday.
Speaker 1: It means that I'm going to have to try to
Speaker 1: get the podcast up a day early, so episode nine
Speaker 1: twenty six, my goal would be by Saturday night, if
Speaker 1: not earlier, to get that show off. So there will
Speaker 1: be a pot but it's probably going to go out
Speaker 1: a day early, so just be aware of it. And
Speaker 1: it'll be the same thing the following weekend because we
Speaker 1: have clash in Paris, so we got we got back
Speaker 1: to back weekends of this, so just be aware of that. Now.
Speaker 1: The Twitter poll a little bit different tonight. I mentioned
Speaker 1: the live poll in the chat. I will check that first.
Speaker 1: I have a poll going in the chat asking you
Speaker 1: what will you be watching live on September twentieth. Will
Speaker 1: you be watching WWE Wressell Palooza or will you be
Speaker 1: watching aw Aall Out. In the YouTube poll, sixty percent
Speaker 1: said they will be watching all Out. Forty percent will
Speaker 1: be watching Wressell Palooza. Let's see how that compares to
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. On Twitter Wressell Palooza fifty seven point
Speaker 1: three percent, aw all out forty two point seven percent,
Speaker 1: So we have the inverse although we have a lot
Speaker 1: more votes in the x poll. We have well over
Speaker 1: six hundred votes in the YouTube poll. We have over
Speaker 1: twenty six hundred votes in the Twitter poll, and Wressell
Speaker 1: Palooza is in the lead by not by a landslide
Speaker 1: or anything, but you know, fifty seven to forty two
Speaker 1: is a sizeable lead there for the WWE show. And
Speaker 1: I will tell you I'm not making my final decision yet.
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards Wressell Palooza because i have to just
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm covering it live on the channel,
Speaker 1: i have to look at it from the perspective of
Speaker 1: what do people want to see that night. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: take a poll, but that stream is going to is
Speaker 1: going to have more traffic and do better numbers than
Speaker 1: the aw one will most likely. So I'll make my
Speaker 1: final decision as we get closer. But you know, even
Speaker 1: in my case, I can't. I'm not watching both of
Speaker 1: them live at the same time, and I've got to
Speaker 1: make a choice one or the other. Which one is
Speaker 1: going to play better, you know, here on the channel.
Speaker 1: Which one is going to be the one that people
Speaker 1: are going to be more interested in? And I feel
Speaker 1: like that is going to be Wrestle Palooza, especially even
Speaker 1: beyond the scene and Brock stuff. If they're going to
Speaker 1: do Cody and Drew possibly for the championship and we'll
Speaker 1: see what are the matches they add to the show,
Speaker 1: the interest level in that show is going to be
Speaker 1: very high. And that's the first ESPN show. So even
Speaker 1: in my case, you know, again, they're they're kind of
Speaker 1: fucking with my original plans here, but right now I'm
Speaker 1: leaning in the Wrestle Polloza direction and then catching up
Speaker 1: after the fact with All Out. But we'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: We got time. Today's episode is sponsored by Factor. I
Speaker 1: was out with friends recently on a beautiful summer day,
Speaker 1: and I had to be home for what else a
Speaker 1: show that night? So I came home and what did
Speaker 1: I do? I prepared myself a delicious meal from Factor
Speaker 1: for dinner, and it was ready in minutes. If I
Speaker 1: wanted to make the same meal myself, First of all,
Speaker 1: I'm no chef, but if I wanted to, it would
Speaker 1: have taken out and I would have missed out on
Speaker 1: all the summer fun. That's the convenience of Factor. Factor
Speaker 1: meals are chef crafted, dietitian approved, and ready to eat
Speaker 1: in just two minutes, taking the hassle out of eating well.

Speaker 1: sesame teriaki filet mignon. Not only was it delicious, but
Speaker 1: I like that I can eat healthier and actually enjoy
Speaker 1: what I'm eating. At the same time, I don't have
Speaker 1: to feel guilty when I'm done. And also, if you've
Speaker 1: set certain fitness goals for yourself, as I have, if
Speaker 1: you want to get down to your goal weight. For example,
Speaker 1: eating healthier is the way to go. You can do
Speaker 1: all the cardio in the world, but you cannot outrun
Speaker 1: a crappy diet. So I appreciate how Factor Meals allows
Speaker 1: me to stick to my goals. Just heat it up

Speaker 1: go back to super chat number one that came in tonight,
Speaker 1: and it came in from our friend Terrible Dried Chicken,
Speaker 1: who said John Moxley and the Death Riders are going
Speaker 1: to have a whole lot of bad ideas for Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Speaker 1: Expect Tanahashi to bleed. I'm not worried about Tanahashi bleeding.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Tanahashi being able to fucking walk in
Speaker 1: a straight line, Like I get I hurt when I
Speaker 1: see him walking on those knees. Also, Marvin the Martian,
Speaker 1: where is the kaboom If oscar crashes out again, this
Speaker 1: dried chicken here will call the Kabuki Warriors to the
Speaker 1: We'll call them the kaboom Key Warriors. Yeah, that's it's
Speaker 1: pretty awful. It's pretty awful play on words. Leave the
Speaker 1: human to the pros. I would say. There's our friend
Speaker 1: the moldy cheeseburger who says, buy rent or sell Sinners
Speaker 1: weapons or Fantastic four. And have you seen the new
Speaker 1: Halloween game trailer? John Carpenter is involved. I just saw
Speaker 1: it a few hours ago. Somebody tagged me in it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks cool. Then there were a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of people in the comments sections saying that the
Speaker 1: producers of the game have abandoned games before and this
Speaker 1: one may not even get done. So I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get too excited until I know it's actually coming out,
Speaker 1: but it looks interesting. If it comes out, I'm definitely
Speaker 1: gonna buy it as far as buy, rent or sell.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy on Sinners, I'm gonna rent on Weapons,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna sell on the Fantastic Four. Three movies
Speaker 1: I all saw in the last I think two weeks
Speaker 1: I've seen them all. It took me a while to
Speaker 1: see Sinners, but I finally saw it. Dry Chicken says
Speaker 1: Christian Cage and Adam Copeland with these Spaceball references Spaceballs, Man,
Speaker 1: Spaceballs for the Win Spaceballs, The Princess Bride and The
Speaker 1: Goonies were like three of those movies that you know
Speaker 1: as a kid when I was younger, I watch many,
Speaker 1: many times, many many times. Joseph Stewart, speaking of movies, says,
Speaker 1: what is your favorite song from the Batman eighty nine
Speaker 1: Prince soundtrack? And did you own the Prince Batman eighty
Speaker 1: nine soundtrack? I'm pretty sure I had the cassette tape
Speaker 1: version of it, if there was one. I vaguely remember
Speaker 1: a Batman logo on one of my cassette tapes, so
Speaker 1: I think I did. As far as my favorite song,
Speaker 1: party Men, you know, watching Jack Nicholson dance to that
Speaker 1: in the movie. That was That was That was a vibe.
Speaker 1: But I gotta go party man. I gotta go party man,
Speaker 1: Joseph Stewar. Do you remember the movie Natural Born Killers
Speaker 1: with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, says Mickey and Mallory Knox.
Speaker 1: Oh do I remember it? Oh? Yes, Oh yes, I
Speaker 1: do remember it. You want to know why I remember
Speaker 1: it because my father took me to see it at
Speaker 1: an age where I should not have seen that movie,
Speaker 1: and it was. It left an impression on me. Actually,
Speaker 1: as I recall the way that the movie was shot,
Speaker 1: I think it gave me a headache too. I had
Speaker 1: to lay down. There were some empty seats. I had
Speaker 1: to lay down on the seats. But yeah, that movie was.
Speaker 1: I should not have seen that movie. I should not
Speaker 1: have been taken to see that movie. Robert Danny Junior
Speaker 1: was in that movie. Also. Do you remember the short
Speaker 1: live action short live short lot Oh? I think you
Speaker 1: means short lived faction The Dark Carnival in WCW with Vampiro,
Speaker 1: the Great Muda and the insane clown Posse. Not really, No,
Speaker 1: I don't really have too many memories of it. Holpling
Speaker 1: ninety three. You have to love security was quick to
Speaker 1: stop Hangman for a chair shot, but not for Arson Brother.
Speaker 1: It's the same company where in storyline, Tony Kahan is
Speaker 1: powerless to stop promoting a match with Will Osprey on
Speaker 1: Sunday despite his injuries because it's non sanctioned. There's just
Speaker 1: nothing the man can do. It's all very stupid. Joseph says,
Speaker 1: what is your favorite Raven match in ECW and in TNA?
Speaker 1: I don't have a favorite. See if you would have
Speaker 1: asked me what's my favorite Raven match in WCW, I
Speaker 1: could have told you exactly what it was. It was
Speaker 1: the match on Nitro where he lost the US title
Speaker 1: to Goldberg in ninety eight. I don't have a favorite
Speaker 1: Raven TNA match, and in ECW, I mean the one
Speaker 1: with Tommy Dreamer. Joseph says, do you remember the WCWVHS
Speaker 1: home videotape of Sid Vicious Millennium Man? I didn't own it,
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it. I don't even know it exists.
Speaker 1: Is it true that when Vince signed Sid to the
Speaker 1: WWF in ninety one that Vince wanted to make Sid
Speaker 1: the next big babyface, replacing Hogan After their match at
Speaker 1: WrestleMania eight, Well, it's all speculation. That may have been
Speaker 1: his idea, but certainly didn't feel that way just based
Speaker 1: on the way he was booked as a heel. So
Speaker 1: if that was the original plan, plans changed. Terrible Dried Chicken.
Speaker 1: It's Billy the puppet from Saw and he has offered
Speaker 1: you two options. Sleep on a bed filled with a
Speaker 1: thousand bedbugs for five thousand dollars, or land on thumbtacks
Speaker 1: with rubbing alcohol on your body for ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: I will land on thumbtacks with rubbing alcohol, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. I've dealt with bed bugs before. I don't
Speaker 1: ever want to do that again. I will land on
Speaker 1: the thumb tax and take my ten thousand dollars, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Joseph says, do you think if Diesel
Speaker 1: was a draw as champion in nineteen ninety five? I
Speaker 1: think we have them on the list here. I think
Speaker 1: we're caught up on the old ones. Let me bring
Speaker 1: that one up first. Here we go. Do you think
Speaker 1: if Diesel was a draw as champion in ninety five
Speaker 1: he would have had more movie roles at the time
Speaker 1: besides Teenage Mutant, Ninja Turtles, Secret of the Ooze as
Speaker 1: Super Shredder. No, I mean I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think one would have had anything to do with the other.
Speaker 1: I mean, how much of a draw would he have been?
Speaker 1: Even even if he was a draw, he wasn't going
Speaker 1: to be some sort of mega draw. He was not Hogan.
Speaker 1: Hogan was Hogan and look at the roles Hogan got.
Speaker 1: Like if Nash was a little more successful as Champion,
Speaker 1: I mean, what was he going to be doing acting
Speaker 1: with de Niro and Pacino? Like, it would not have
Speaker 1: made a difference. Joseph says, do you think Sean Michaels
Speaker 1: could have had a movie career in Hollywood like Batista
Speaker 1: Rock and John Cena? No? Are you going to watch
Speaker 1: John cenas Peacemaker series? It's on my list to go
Speaker 1: back and watch season one. I have not seen it,
Speaker 1: so I'd like to, But I'm not going to be
Speaker 1: watching season two until I can get through season one,
Speaker 1: So no Linklex. I'm so glad the security geeks prioritize
Speaker 1: saving Ricochet and Mercedes over the man who was almost
Speaker 1: burned alive. They're the real heroes, thank god. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: must have been in a part of the arena that
Speaker 1: was really you know, hidden away somewhere. I guess right, Joseph,
Speaker 1: Have you seen the Wednesday series on Netflix? The series
Speaker 1: is about Gomez and Mortitia Adams's daughter. No, no, I
Speaker 1: have not. I assume it doesn't star Christina Ricci. She
Speaker 1: might be a little too old these days now to
Speaker 1: play Wednesday. Omar, the man injecting Lucasaurus looked a lot
Speaker 1: like Jack Perry. I suspect he returns on Sunday and
Speaker 1: becomes the de facto leader of the patriarchy. Oh you
Speaker 1: know what I did? God, I hadn't even noticed that.
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice who was injecting him in that
Speaker 1: little skip before he came out. Johnny Burnie, MJF and
Speaker 1: Page will follow the Punk Taker wrestle Minni a twenty
Speaker 1: nine format. In what way it'll be the best match
Speaker 1: on the show? In what way do you mean? Javili
Speaker 1: with the twelve dollar eighty seven cent super chat. If
Speaker 1: Jade car Gill did not leave AW, what is the
Speaker 1: possibility of losing the TBS title to Mercedes or facing
Speaker 1: Tony Storm for the AW Women's title. I mean, had
Speaker 1: she stayed, I'm sure she would have had matches with
Speaker 1: all of them. So I think the chances are very high.
Speaker 1: Rank these Tanahashi rivals in order, Okata, Omega, Naito, Suzuki, Goto, Shibata,
Speaker 1: and Nakamura. Well, Okada is number one a man I
Speaker 1: would I would probably go Okata, Nito, maybe Goto. I
Speaker 1: mean after that it gets very fuzzy for me. I'll
Speaker 1: say I'll say Okata, Naito, Goto, uh, Shabata, Knakamura, Omega,
Speaker 1: and Suzuki. All that matters is Okada is number one.
Speaker 1: See clearly, what the fuck is a wrestle palooza? I'll
Speaker 1: go with all out a gorilla. I don't care if
Speaker 1: the name sounds like something I'd order at Taco Bell.
Speaker 1: Brodido needs to win those belts. It does sound like
Speaker 1: something on a Taco Bell menu, doesn't it. Oznglorious Athena
Speaker 1: wrestles like one of those many inflatable wacky two people
Speaker 1: in front of car dealerships wearing a wig. The sooner
Speaker 1: she's back in Ring of Honor, the better. Congrats on
Speaker 1: eighty eight K Thank you brother, you shaming the wacky
Speaker 1: whaling inflatable tube men can't be doing that. Man also
Speaker 1: Oznglorious celebrating fifty months of channel membership, acknowledge him. You
Speaker 1: are hereby acknowledged fifty months. Man right on the dot,
Speaker 1: Bender mc simpson. I have a feeling you're right about
Speaker 1: Tony complaycating MVP. Tony feels like a week leader. But
Speaker 1: the important thing is Mercedes and her Apollo Creed ring gear.
Speaker 1: She looked good. She looked good tonight in that gear.
Speaker 1: Dev to dust celebrating forty one months of membership. Boone
Speaker 1: hits a deep left. This might send the Yankees to
Speaker 1: the World Series. Boone a hero in Game seven. No
Speaker 1: one gives a shit about Boone. No one gives a
Speaker 1: shit about the Yankees. No one gives a shit about
Speaker 1: the Mets. They all fucking suck. The big fundamental Tim
Speaker 1: Duncan ball Game over, World Series over. The Yankees win.
Speaker 1: Your super chat is about the only thing the Yankees
Speaker 1: are gonna win. Power spying games. Why a wrestling matt
Speaker 1: called a canvas because wrestling is art very good. Also,
Speaker 1: I'll be a forbidden door on Sunday. Well, the O
Speaker 1: two is gonna be loud, You're gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: of people there, and it's an indoor arena, It's not
Speaker 1: a giant stadium. So everything should be magnified, everything should
Speaker 1: be louder, have fun, My friend, enjoy the show The
Speaker 1: Moldy Cheeseburger. Why does Tony Kahan rush all of these
Speaker 1: forbidden door matches at the last minute? It annoys me.
Speaker 1: I know who Bosilla is, but do the fans know
Speaker 1: who she is? I had to look her up. But
Speaker 1: that's not even the point, dude, Like, you know you're
Speaker 1: booking her in a match, and I mean literally literally
Speaker 1: just a match, like there's nothing like, there's nothing more
Speaker 1: to it than that, here's Bozilla, everybody. And as far
Speaker 1: as the show, I mean literally, the only thing they
Speaker 1: mentioned is that she's the second generation talent. They never
Speaker 1: even told you who her father was. They just said
Speaker 1: she's second generation The Moldy Cheeseburger. Why does to Oh,
Speaker 1: we just read that one so nice. I was about
Speaker 1: to read it twice oz and Glorias says, hit that
Speaker 1: like button. That's it, that thumbs up is right there
Speaker 1: waiting for you to touch it. You have consent to
Speaker 1: touch the touch the button. We have ten more, ten
Speaker 1: more likes, and we are guaranteed one round to be
Speaker 1: the booker. And I see the bonus goal in the chat.
Speaker 1: We're ten out of fifteen were including yellows yellow super
Speaker 1: chats in this goal, so five more there we might
Speaker 1: get a bonus round we got, Greteo. Greteo MS missed
Speaker 1: your take on the Christian and Cope section. Is Nick
Speaker 1: Wayne's injury is silver lining for Christian versus Wayne? Down
Speaker 1: the line, it's a silver lining. I'm also not one
Speaker 1: convinced that he is hurt. I'm assuming it's a legitimate injury.
Speaker 1: But who's to say he doesn't show up and get
Speaker 1: involved and then we get the match on Dynamite in
Speaker 1: two weeks or something, you know, But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they have to come back to it. It's only a
Speaker 1: silver lining if he's not gone for that long. I mean,
Speaker 1: if he's going to be gone for months and months,
Speaker 1: I mean you could always try to find a silver
Speaker 1: lining in something like that, But if he's going to
Speaker 1: be gone for an extended period of time, that's that's
Speaker 1: not good. You know, everything that they've been sort of
Speaker 1: building up to, all that, all that momentum, it it's
Speaker 1: just gonna be lost, you know, Alex says brother Solo.
Speaker 1: I know, as a content creator, it's a logistical nightmare
Speaker 1: to cover both shows simultaneous. Just know whatever you decide
Speaker 1: to cover, we will be here to support you. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've done it before when like NXT was up against
Speaker 1: Dynamite and stuff. You do the two screen experience thing.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it with these pay per views though,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it with that. It's gonna first of all,
Speaker 1: it's gonna ruin the enjoyment of the shows. For me,
Speaker 1: that's number one and number two. My full focus and
Speaker 1: attention on these bigger shows needs to be on one
Speaker 1: show or the other, especially if I have to put
Speaker 1: notes together and I'm going live right after. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing this two screen bullshit. So I'll make a decision
Speaker 1: as we get closer, but I'm leaning towards Wrestle Puloser
Speaker 1: Project Libertad. How do you feel about Japanese and Mexican
Speaker 1: fans not liking some of the decisions that pander to
Speaker 1: American fans that both WWE and AW did with their
Speaker 1: partner companies Takeshta and VIKINGO come to mind. I mean
Speaker 1: the Takeshta thing, I don't understand. I think Takesha was
Speaker 1: a fine choice to win the g one and he
Speaker 1: actually has a contract with New Japan. So to me,
Speaker 1: I didn't really put a whole lot of you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't put a whole lot of stock into what
Speaker 1: some people were saying about the Takeshta stuff, other than
Speaker 1: I can understand people feeling someone like a Yotasuji, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the young stars, that they should be building
Speaker 1: up more, that he should have won. Like I understand that.
Speaker 1: But if Takesha wins the championship from Saber before wreussell Kingdom,
Speaker 1: he could drop it to Suji at the Dome, and
Speaker 1: I think that would mean more, and I think that's
Speaker 1: what they should do. As far as the Vikingo stuff,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's a fair point. You know, vi
Speaker 1: Kingo was sort of he was already beaten by Alberto
Speaker 1: and he was old news, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: WWE moves in and it's like, we want the title
Speaker 1: on Vikingo. You feel like they're not listening to what
Speaker 1: it is that you want. That's why they're rebelling against
Speaker 1: Vikingo and they're booing him. It's not because of anything
Speaker 1: he did. So I mean, I think that's a fair critique.
Speaker 1: Oz says kudos to Hangman Page for being able to
Speaker 1: navigate public transport to a UK venue and not attacking
Speaker 1: your boss and colleagues backstage afterwards that we know of. Well,
Speaker 1: actually he did attack his colleague backstage. He attacked Ricochet
Speaker 1: with a chair and he punched out one of the
Speaker 1: security guards. What are you talking about? He didn't attack
Speaker 1: his colleagues backstage, he attacked two people. Be com see clearly,
Speaker 1: what was Hiroshi Tanahashi doing. I'd bust out laughing because
Speaker 1: he was visibly trying his hardest cool. But he should
Speaker 1: not wrestle again. I mean duties in his retirement year.
Speaker 1: He's wrestling all the way through the Tokyo Dome. His
Speaker 1: last match is January fourth, not going to stop now
Speaker 1: anyf We are currently sitting at four hundred and sixteen likes.
Speaker 1: I love it. Boots with a ten spot gets us
Speaker 1: to eleven out of fifteen on that bonus skull. Look
Speaker 1: at Boots with the blue skull showing off. Nick Wayne
Speaker 1: is going to pull the swerve of the century at
Speaker 1: forbidden Door. I wouldn't go that far. Nick Wayne could
Speaker 1: pull off whatever he wants to. Calling it the swerve
Speaker 1: of the century is giving it a little too much credit.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not one hundred percent convinced that he's
Speaker 1: not going to show up and it's all just a ruse.
Speaker 1: Tanahashi wrestling at the G one opening night was horrible. Okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't see that, so was it really that bad?
Speaker 1: Who did he wrestle that night? This was probably the
Speaker 1: first time in a very long time I saw so
Speaker 1: little of The G One. I always try to catch
Speaker 1: a decent amount of it. I'm never able to watch
Speaker 1: all of it, but it's like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: just felt like people barely cared this year. You didn't
Speaker 1: hear anybody really talking about it, no real major coverage
Speaker 1: of it. You know. It's just they're in a very
Speaker 1: cold period right now, which is why they need to
Speaker 1: build up some of these newer guys faster. I don't
Speaker 1: know why it's taken this long for them to do this,
Speaker 1: but it's time. You know, the tana Hashi's of the
Speaker 1: world and the I mean night Thoughs been gone. Ospbury's
Speaker 1: been gone for a while, Cot is gone, Like where's
Speaker 1: the new guard Man? Where? Where where are they? I mean,
Speaker 1: they're there, but they're not really pushing them at that
Speaker 1: level yet, which is what they need. To be doing.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell's taken them so long,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it was the lowest attendance for a g
Speaker 1: One in more than a decade. That's not good, ladies
Speaker 1: or gentlemen. It is now time to be the booker.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get some new Japan talents that pop up
Speaker 1: and be the booker. Maybe we could book a better
Speaker 1: g One than the new Japan. Let's say, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what. I'll tell you what. Let's make this our
Speaker 1: g one card tonight. Yeah, the g one card. They
Speaker 1: have non tournament matches as well, so we'll have a
Speaker 1: tag match, we'll have a women's match, it'll be like
Speaker 1: our stardom match, and then we'll have our g one
Speaker 1: main event, our g one final. Let's see if we
Speaker 1: could book a better g One here than ghetto. Randy
Speaker 1: Orton and Edge rated RKO are gonna be taking on
Speaker 1: Stone Cold, Steve Austen and The Undertaker. Can we main
Speaker 1: event a g one with a tag team match? Because
Speaker 1: I think we just found our tag team match. Holy shit,
Speaker 1: Stone Cold and the Undertaker against Randy Orton and Edge.
Speaker 1: This is already a better g One than anything Ghetto booked.
Speaker 1: This will be our stardom match, our Joshi Match of
Speaker 1: the night. Oh boy, we have Tessa Blanchard. Tessa Blanchard
Speaker 1: against Bird Girl, Lyra Valkyria. I liked Lyra, Lyra and
Speaker 1: Tessa and now our G one final twelve out of fifteen.
Speaker 1: By the way, on the bonus goal, Boots with the
Speaker 1: ten says, was Bobby Fish the glue that held the
Speaker 1: undisputed era paragon together? Where's the lie? Was Bobby Fish
Speaker 1: the glue that held them together? I mean he may
Speaker 1: have been sniffing glue, but no, I wouldn't say he
Speaker 1: was the glue that held them together. MJF, who currently
Speaker 1: is the CML Light Heavyweight Champion, is now in the
Speaker 1: finals of Our G one. Climax here, look at this,
Speaker 1: these guys everywhere. Man, he's in CMLL. Now he's in
Speaker 1: the G one final. MJF against John Moxley in the
Speaker 1: final of Our G one. I'm metting a third person.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a triple threat G one final for
Speaker 1: the first time. We're gonna add one. We're gonna add
Speaker 1: one more at oh no, oh no, Alberto Dell dipshit.
Speaker 1: He ruined what would have been a clean sweep in
Speaker 1: the g One. This is what people are booing the
Speaker 1: kingo for. This is the baby face that they want
Speaker 1: to cheer. I think Ghetto snuck in and he he
Speaker 1: rebooked the final here for the g One. That's the
Speaker 1: g One. That's so bad. Oh, that's awful. That's awful,
Speaker 1: Mexico sweetheart. Oh you Lucha Libre fan? What am I
Speaker 1: missing here? What am I missing? Yeah? Maxley gonna win
Speaker 1: another championship. Joseph Stewart, do you remember the movie Clue
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty five with Tim Curry. It was based
Speaker 1: off the Clue Game. Yes, I'm aware of that, and
Speaker 1: I did watch the movie Clue. I like the game too. Uh,
Speaker 1: be calm, see clearly, I'm upset that Moxley hasn't put
Speaker 1: over Shooter clean. Have him pinmox one two three in
Speaker 1: the middle of the ring and have him dominate him.
Speaker 1: Simple is a ghetto or Ghetto had to make that
Speaker 1: joke for some reason. You really didn't have to, but
Speaker 1: you did. Joseph Stewart, do you think Keanna James and
Speaker 1: Nick Wayne would be a good pay if Keana went
Speaker 1: to a e W Keanna James and Nick Wayne? What
Speaker 1: does he need Keana James for he's got mother Wayne
Speaker 1: to uh to manage all of his affairs and finances
Speaker 1: and everything. He doesn't need Keana James. Keana James is
Speaker 1: like and that was her gimmick in NXT too, Like
Speaker 1: she was very business oriented, right, she has a financial
Speaker 1: background or whatever. He doesn't need her. He's got mother
Speaker 1: Wayne for that. She gives him a uh my god,
Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for allowing? Forgot the word allowance.
Speaker 1: She gives him his allowance. Oh fuck me, fuck fuck
Speaker 1: that tree. Solo with the candlestick in the library, the
Speaker 1: one who put down crazy Uncle Dave Meltzer. As if
Speaker 1: Solo would be in the library, that's a good one. Boots.
Speaker 1: Who wins between Nino hamburg Asa and cheeseburger? Oh, cheeseburger, cheeseburger.
Speaker 1: Libido Bell, Hey, there's Vato Sting. Maybe if they put
Speaker 1: the triple A megatitle on Vatos Sting, everybody would be
Speaker 1: happy and they would forget about Alberto. What do you think,
Speaker 1: Libido Bell says, Seeing that you're both a Mortal Kombat
Speaker 1: fan and a Friday the Thirteenth fan, have you played MKX,
Speaker 1: the one that has Jason Leatherface, Alien and Predator learning
Speaker 1: tree needs to be replaced with my family tree. No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I actually have not played Mortal Kombat X
Speaker 1: or ten to ten. I have eleven, by the way,
Speaker 1: I downloaded. I haven't installed yet, but I downloaded eleven
Speaker 1: on Steam. They had a Steam sale a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I still haven't played yet. Be comc clearly we
Speaker 1: are the champions. Just played, be the Booker, Beach. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I just noticed, yes, fifteen out of fifteen
Speaker 1: on the goal. That means you guys have snuck in
Speaker 1: one more bonus round here, be the Booker. Should we
Speaker 1: do another g one card, this time with stipulations? Joseph Stewart.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude
Speaker 1: van Dam and Raoul Julia? Yes, Raoul Julia has the
Speaker 1: quote of the entire movie. Devin from NJ and honor
Speaker 1: of both their eightieth birthdays this week, buy or sell
Speaker 1: on who did a better job at giving us weekly
Speaker 1: mini movies? David Chase or Vince McMahon. David Chase, Happy
Speaker 1: birthday to David Chase. Joseph Stewart, who is your favorite
Speaker 1: Street Fighter character? Honestly, Blanca. I used to spam that
Speaker 1: shit man like I when I'm talking like back when
Speaker 1: I was playing Street Fighter to Turbo and he would
Speaker 1: do that rolling move. I would just spam that shit
Speaker 1: and then shock people. I was really good at that,
Speaker 1: and then I was doing well until I would get
Speaker 1: to was it what was it dhalism or No? No,
Speaker 1: it was chun Lee, that bitch. I could never beat her.
Speaker 1: She was always so difficult. Yeah, I'll go with Blanca.
Speaker 1: All right, it's bonus be the booker time, guys, So
Speaker 1: what we'll do. We'll have oursel Hesse Rold Julie. It was,
Speaker 1: it was, it was Tuesday. Such a great line, Devin says,
Speaker 1: Zangief for me, I think I think russev could play
Speaker 1: a good Zangief. I'm surprised they didn't cast him in
Speaker 1: the Street Fighter movie. What character is Goto playing? Hiroki
Speaker 1: Goto is in the Street Fighter movie? What character is he?
Speaker 1: Is he? E Honda? I think he's playing e Honda
Speaker 1: in the movie. We got Roman Reigns, we got Cody Rhodes,
Speaker 1: and we got Hiroki Goto in the upcoming Street Fighter movie,
Speaker 1: and then Jason Momoa and fifty Cents It's quite the
Speaker 1: cast that they've put together here, Steel Cage. We're kicking
Speaker 1: things off here. It is the second night of the
Speaker 1: g One and we are booking a steel cage tag
Speaker 1: team match. G One's not really known for filling up
Speaker 1: the card with stipulations. We're gonna do it anyway. Brett
Speaker 1: and owen Hart, they weren't a tag team for very long,
Speaker 1: probably two months, but it gave us that great Colisseum
Speaker 1: video match against the Steiner Brothers. I just watched that
Speaker 1: on the Vault Channel a few weeks ago. Brett and
Speaker 1: owen Hart against Lax Homicide and Hernandez inside of a
Speaker 1: steel cage the Hearts and Lax cage style. Man, there
Speaker 1: you go. I'm giving that. The bell, Isn't it always
Speaker 1: a bell when it's owing and Brett usually unless we
Speaker 1: land on like well done or some bullshit like that
Speaker 1: fucking fandango and Tyler Breeze. Who is she that was?
Speaker 1: Wasn't that Shelley Martinez in the image with them? I
Speaker 1: think that was Shelley Martinez? Oh, man, Ultimate X. We
Speaker 1: have an Ultimate X match at the g One and
Speaker 1: it's a women's match too. Now you know what I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what we'll do. I'll tell you what we'll do.
Speaker 1: Put that, put that on the side. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: We're gonna book an Ultimate X main event with the men,
Speaker 1: and we'll book it with four guys. All right, but
Speaker 1: we'll do that. We'll do that after I want to
Speaker 1: book a women's match first. It's gonna be, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: we go from an Ultimate X match to a Monster's
Speaker 1: Ball match. All right, well, that's what it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Then Monsters Ball with the ladies. Here at the first
Speaker 1: ever solo Monster g One. Well I have second, second
Speaker 1: ever solo Monster g One. We got Medusa Medusa in
Speaker 1: a monsters Ball match against EO Sky. Ah. Yes, EO
Speaker 1: Sky and Medusa would just without any stipulations. I think
Speaker 1: be a very good match with the Monster's ball stipulation.
Speaker 1: I think that would utilize it well and probably beat
Speaker 1: the shit out of each other. I dig that very much.
Speaker 1: All right, now, we're gonna do two main events for you.
Speaker 1: All right. This will be whatever whatever this is. This
Speaker 1: will be the first main event, and then we'll go
Speaker 1: back to the Ultimate X one. Very curious to see
Speaker 1: how that works out. Ooh, grave consequences, greatest casket match.
Speaker 1: I've ever seen those two guys right there, Ray Phoenix
Speaker 1: and mil Mortes. We just saw him on the Triple
Speaker 1: Mania show the other day. Missius lost to von Wagner.
Speaker 1: Doctor No, not von Wagner, Doctor Wagner Junior l e
Speaker 1: O del doctor Wagner. Whatever. Fuck his name is not
Speaker 1: von Wagner. That's a totally different person, all right, Grave
Speaker 1: consequences in our comine event. Grave consequences. Hey, who's this guy?
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to this guy? The winner of the Andre
Speaker 1: the Giant Memorial Battle, Royal Carmelo Hayes, He is him?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I forgot about Von Wagner. And come Tuesday,
Speaker 1: who can forget about Come Tuesday? It's the best day
Speaker 1: of the week, all right, Carmelo Hayes, the Grave Consequences
Speaker 1: match against Triple h And yes, indeed it will be
Speaker 1: grave consequences for poor Carmelo Hayes. That is not going
Speaker 1: to end well for him. That's poor guy. You may
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, just just make it official, you know,
Speaker 1: just just just put him in the casket, shovel some
Speaker 1: dirt on it, and just be done with it. Get
Speaker 1: the damn shovel. Let's all start shoveling. Everybody gets a shovel. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go back to the Ultimate X. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pick four guys who have to climb across those
Speaker 1: cables and pull down the X. This is our second
Speaker 1: half of our double main event here, and we have
Speaker 1: the Godfather Man. Pimping ain't easy. Look at this guy,
Speaker 1: look at the look at the swag on him, at
Speaker 1: the vest. He's got the hat, he's got the bling
Speaker 1: around his neck, got the shades on. I don't know
Speaker 1: about Godfather and an Ultimate X match though, that doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like a very good idea. Ken Shamrock, the World's
Speaker 1: Most Dangerous Man. This, this stipulation is not good for
Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, got Papa Shango trying to climb for
Speaker 1: the Ultimate X. Godfather, Ken Shamrock, the Rock Rock and
Speaker 1: Ken Shamrock Man. A lot of history there, a lot
Speaker 1: of history there. What is this like this? Look the
Speaker 1: attitude era Ultimate X made event here and Hollywood Hulk
Speaker 1: hogid so nice. I'm gonna play the Sweet Noise twice.
Speaker 1: I want to see how Hogan crawl across those fucking
Speaker 1: cables and try to pull that Ultimate X down I
Speaker 1: need to see this Hulk Hogan, the Rock, Ken Shamrock,
Speaker 1: and the Godfather, Holy Monday Night Wars. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's nineteen ninety eight right there in a nutshell,
Speaker 1: isn't it ninety eight ninety nine? Who's climbing and they're
Speaker 1: all supposed to climb? They're all climbing. Well, Hogan exercises
Speaker 1: creative control so he doesn't have to climb. Hogan's strategy
Speaker 1: is to stand directly underneath so that if someone drops
Speaker 1: the X, he can just catch it, but everybody else
Speaker 1: has to climb. Well, that was a very unique main
Speaker 1: event that I was not expecting a match that Bischoff
Speaker 1: would give up on Nitro instead of a pay per
Speaker 1: view if it would buy him an extra three tenths
Speaker 1: of a Nielsen point, he would do it. Absolutely. You
Speaker 1: imagine if we landed on Tanahashi and it's like modern
Speaker 1: day Tanahashi with those knees trying to like slide his
Speaker 1: way across the cables. We got Joseph who says, did
Speaker 1: you know Street Fighter was Raoul Julia's last movie as
Speaker 1: he did before he passed away, And he also did
Speaker 1: the Street Fighter movie because his son was a big
Speaker 1: Street Fighter fan. I did know that. Yeah, you could
Speaker 1: tell he was sick when he filmed it. I don't
Speaker 1: know how long it was after the movie came out.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that much longer. And then he passed away.
Speaker 1: Joseph says, do you think Wardlow and Keana James would
Speaker 1: be a good a good pairing in aw? No, I
Speaker 1: do not, Libido Bell. What's more interesting about the OG
Speaker 1: Street Fighter movie is the troubled development behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: Van Dam did a lot of coke is just one factor.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody did coke back then, right, that movie
Speaker 1: was early nineties. All right, Well, I'm sure Van Dam
Speaker 1: did a lot of coke making movies in the eighties,
Speaker 1: you know, blood Sport and everything else that he did.
Speaker 1: You can't be you can't be surprised by this. But
Speaker 1: then again, it might make the movie more interesting if
Speaker 1: they were all doing coke. Joseph says, in TNA, was
Speaker 1: in storyline that Abyss and Judas Messius were brothers. That
Speaker 1: was indeed a storyline. Yes, just like Abyss and Joseph
Speaker 1: park Esquire, they were not brothers in real life. They
Speaker 1: were just friends that work together. Matt Fisher, thank you
Speaker 1: for the gifted membership. He gifted a membership to The
Speaker 1: Moldy Cheeseburger and Libido Bell Busy Solo is Busy overdue
Speaker 1: for a solo gamer would love to see your reactions
Speaker 1: playing WWE All Stars in Wrestling Empire. Both games are insanity.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of games queued up, and that's
Speaker 1: not one of them. I will probably never get to that,
Speaker 1: but I do hope to get to some of these
Speaker 1: others I've got all queued up in my steam. Joseph says,
Speaker 1: what is your favorite Jean Claude Van Damn movie? M hmm,
Speaker 1: do I have a favorite? Is it Time Cop? Is
Speaker 1: it blood Sport? The Street Fighter? Maybe blood Sport. I
Speaker 1: wasn't a big Van Damn guy. I was a Schwarzenegger guy,
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger Stallone, Rambo Rocky Terminator wasn't really a Van Damn
Speaker 1: even Stephen Sigal, Like Stephen Sagal, I mean, there were
Speaker 1: so many campy B movies in the eighties, but like,
Speaker 1: it wasn't Oh God, it wasn't Hunt to Kill Fuck.
Speaker 1: What was the name of that movie he did in
Speaker 1: the eighties? Something to Kill A view Will Kill? No,
Speaker 1: that was fucking James Bond. I kind of enjoyed some
Speaker 1: of those Sagal movies Kickboxer or Double Impact, says big
Speaker 1: g s schwartzen Agre guy. Of course, Oh heart's a
Speaker 1: killed there you go, I said, a view to a kill.
Speaker 1: That was. That was Roger Moore's last James Bond movie
Speaker 1: with Christopher walking under Siege. Yes, actually on the one
Speaker 1: of the quotes that has always stuck with me is
Speaker 1: from under Siege two. There's a scene in the movie
Speaker 1: there's like two bad guys. One works for the bigger
Speaker 1: bad guy, and I think it's the bigger bad guy
Speaker 1: who somebody said something to him like, oh I assumed
Speaker 1: he was dead or I assumes, And he says like
Speaker 1: assumption is the mother of all fuck ups. So true.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was a schwarzen Ager guy. Man, I
Speaker 1: mean all the movies he did, come on man, Terminator,
Speaker 1: Terminator two, not just the action movies, but like the
Speaker 1: comedies too. Jingle all the Way is timeless. Who doesn't
Speaker 1: like Jingle all the Way? Joseph says Arnold Schwarzeneger said
Speaker 1: he wants to make another Knan movie. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think he's at the point now where that's probably
Speaker 1: not a good idea v coms clearly solo. Watch your mouth.
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwartz, I'm high, by the way, very high. Higher
Speaker 1: than Travis Scott high. That's pretty fucking high. That's pretty high, dude.
Speaker 1: Don't go too high. You gotta come back down. Joseph Stewart,
Speaker 1: have you seen the movies red Sonya? No? Last action
Speaker 1: hero is underappreciated. I'm more of a kindergarten cop guy. Myself.
Speaker 1: Got any twins guys in here, Danny Devita and Arnold
Speaker 1: Schwartzen name True Lies is a great movie with him
Speaker 1: and Jamie Lee Curtis and Eliza. Eliza Douchkou was the
Speaker 1: daughter in that movie. Gold Matthew Better Match Catalog Sena
Speaker 1: or Hogan saw hul Cogan against the Ultimate Warrior for
Speaker 1: the first time recently four out of or four and
Speaker 1: a half stars best Hogan match besides WrestleMania eighteen. You
Speaker 1: like that match more than me? I'd probably would go
Speaker 1: Hogan Warrior WrestleMania six I mean, especially to a younger fan,
Speaker 1: that match was epic, But as far as like the
Speaker 1: better Match Catalog, I mean, again, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about like iconic matches. It's hard to
Speaker 1: top like Hogan, Andre Hogan, Warrior, Hogan Rock if you're
Speaker 1: talking like just great wrestling matches. Uh, Sena Sena has
Speaker 1: the better catalog. Joseph Stewart, have you seen the movie
Speaker 1: Cobro with Sylvester Still I did many many years ago.
Speaker 1: I did, Yes, Yes, I don't remember too much from
Speaker 1: it though it was a very long time ago. Tangoing Cash,
Speaker 1: That's that's another favorite of mine. Kurt Russell, Big Trouble
Speaker 1: in Little China, The Thing Snake. Pluskin did a movie
Speaker 1: in ninety seven that I really enjoyed called Breakdown. Like
Speaker 1: that eighties period. Man, you had Stallone, Bruce Willis, Schwarzenegger,
Speaker 1: Van Dam Segal all like during that mid to late
Speaker 1: eighties period that was the peak of the action genre.
Speaker 1: Charles Bronson right Death Wish nineteen eighties. Brigitte Wilson, Brigitte Nielsen?
Speaker 1: Was she the tall one from Beverly Hills? Cop two? Uh?
Speaker 1: Joseph says, have you seen Jean Claude Van Dam's movie Cyborg? No? No?
Speaker 1: But there was the Universal Soldier movie. There was a
Speaker 1: Universal Soldier sequel that had Bill Goldberg in it. In
Speaker 1: the late nineties. Have I seen any of the Chuck
Speaker 1: Norris sip don't forget about him? Have I seen any
Speaker 1: of the Expendables movies? I saw the first one that
Speaker 1: had Steve Austin in it. Yvon Drago's wife from Rocky four, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was also in Beverly Hills Cop two, Terminator two,
Speaker 1: one of the greatest sequels ever. Terminator two and The
Speaker 1: Godfather too? Right? Aren't those looked at as like the
Speaker 1: two greatest sequels ever? Now? The series Twisted Metal is good.
Speaker 1: I've heard Samoa Joe is very good in it. I
Speaker 1: haven't watched it, but I've heard he's very good in
Speaker 1: his role. Libido Bell Eighties Best Films, nineties Best Shows,
Speaker 1: and two thousand's Best Games. You forgot best music also
Speaker 1: the eighties and best wrestling as well. Eighties had the
Speaker 1: best films, the best music, and the best wrestling. The
Speaker 1: eighties wins. Joseph says, have you seen Showdown Showdown Win
Speaker 1: in Little Tokyo with Dolph Lugren, Brandon Lee and Tia Carrera.
Speaker 1: You mean Showdown in Little Tokyo. I have not seen that. Man.
Speaker 1: Think about it. Back then, like in the eighties, you
Speaker 1: had when they were still strong. Not only did you
Speaker 1: have you know, the WWF, but you had Jim Crockett promotions,
Speaker 1: and you know mid Atlantic and Awa and all these
Speaker 1: different territories when they were still very strong and very healthy.
Speaker 1: That was it, man, that was the shit. Mystic Jay says,
Speaker 1: I think the original Terminator is underappreciated. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's underappreciated. I just think people will probably rank Terminator
Speaker 1: two above the original in some cases. But because Terminator
Speaker 1: two was so great and groundbreaking in terms of its effects,
Speaker 1: it gets talked about a lot more. I don't know
Speaker 1: that anybody has ever really said, oh, the first Terminator sucked.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't get the kind of attention the second
Speaker 1: one does have. I seen the Crow Brandon Lee movie.
Speaker 1: I saw the first Crow. I know there were other
Speaker 1: ones without him. I didn't see those. I was never
Speaker 1: a big Crow guy. Crow's thing, yes, but not really
Speaker 1: the movie. Well, anyway, it's interesting that we're talking about
Speaker 1: this because there's going to be a segment on the
Speaker 1: sound off this weekend. There was a story that came
Speaker 1: out I think it was the Hollywood Reporter ranked the
Speaker 1: top ten wrestlers turned actors and I'm going to go
Speaker 1: through that list and I'm going to chime in and
Speaker 1: comment on it and talk about this very subject when
Speaker 1: it comes to wrestlers and movies. So that'll be on
Speaker 1: episode nine twenty six this weekend. I think many of
Speaker 1: you who are talking about movies right now will probably
Speaker 1: take a great interest in that segment. BCom c clearly,
Speaker 1: who is the least problematic wrestler? My cousin said Sina,
Speaker 1: and I said Danielson. My friend said Okata. I don't
Speaker 1: know about Sena because of the Vince comments. Least problematic wrestler?
Speaker 1: Are we talking least problematic in terms of just how
Speaker 1: squeaky clean they were? And you never heard stories about
Speaker 1: them causing problems behind the scenes because scene is probably
Speaker 1: at the top of the list. You know, most other
Speaker 1: guys you always heard about either they were difficult, they
Speaker 1: played politics, they didn't get along with people, or they
Speaker 1: got in trouble with the law, they did drugs, or
Speaker 1: they would show up to the building late. That was
Speaker 1: like the big knock on Brett. Brett was always late,
Speaker 1: but like Sena never had any any kind of controversy
Speaker 1: like that. It was it was like after he was
Speaker 1: done as a full time wrestler the whole China Taiwan controversy,
Speaker 1: but during his career, I'd probably go see it, go
Speaker 1: back and check out the other content here on the channel.
Speaker 1: A bunch of new clips went up this week. We
Speaker 1: had our Raw review here, the Raw post show on
Speaker 1: Monday night, and I'm going to be back with you
Speaker 1: for the SmackDown post show on Friday. Okay, good, Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I mentioned this. SmackDown on Friday is in Dublin, Ireland,
Speaker 1: and I believe I will be able to watch it
Speaker 1: earlier with my VPNs, so if I do, there will
Speaker 1: probably be an early SmackDown review on Friday night, so
Speaker 1: just watch for that. I may be going live around
Speaker 1: eight o'clock at night, so there will probably be an
Speaker 1: earlier review on Friday. There will definitely be an earlier
Speaker 1: review next Monday, also probably around eight o'clock because that's
Speaker 1: airing live on Netflix at three o'clock Eastern. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be in the UK, but they're in Dublin on Friday
Speaker 1: and John Cena is back talking Logan Paul I guess
Speaker 1: not brock Lesnar. So that is the next time I
Speaker 1: will be live with you right here on this channel.
Speaker 1: He has VP of Alerts, VP of Alerts VPN Alert
Speaker 1: everybody wake up. You can get four extra months free
Speaker 1: with Express VPN. Sign up Express vpn dot com slash
Speaker 1: solom Monster. You gotta sign up, but when you do
Speaker 1: with that code at that link, you get four extra
Speaker 1: months free. And now's a pretty damn good time to do.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be pushing that because I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: using it myself. But everything that's coming up so VPN
Speaker 1: is not a new wrestling promotion, that's right, Halla if
Speaker 1: if you hear me, has Danielson ever had any controversy ever? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has. I mean, off the top of
Speaker 1: my head, I can't think of like one major controversy
Speaker 1: that he's gotten himself into, but I'm sure he must have.
Speaker 1: So I'll see you guys on Friday night. Until then,
Speaker 1: be well, stay safe, everyrsells a good night, and come
Speaker 1: on back for a very busy weekend because we don't
Speaker 1: just have SmackDown. We have a podcast on Saturday and
Speaker 1: then Forbidden Door coming up on Sunday. I will see
Speaker 1: you guys there. Take care of guys.
