WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.480 Dynamite was in Scotland for the first time tonight. They 2 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:07.799 were in Glasgow. This was the final edition of Dynamite 3 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:11.880 before Forbidden Door, which is coming up on Sunday, so 4 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.720 we had more people than usually. We've had a lot 5 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.039 of really smaller venues in recent weeks in recent months 6 00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.920 for Dynamite, so it was nice to have more people. 7 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.679 I don't know how many people were there. They were allowed, 8 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.600 I mean, they weren't allowed for everything on the show necessarily, 9 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.800 but they were a lively bunch and we had some 10 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.320 developments for some of the matches that are on the 11 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.399 card this Sunday, including the main event, or what I 12 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.439 believe to be the main event. There is a lights 13 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.039 out match on the show. Typically those do close the show, 14 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.960 so technically I don't know if this will be closing 15 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.880 the show. But Hangman Page is going to be defending 16 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:51.520 the aw World Championship against MJF. And it was supposed 17 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:55.920 to be MJF signing his Casino Gauntlet contract and using 18 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.359 the contract to get that title match. That was something 19 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.880 that Hangman had duped him into last week. So they 20 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.680 undid that on the show tonight, and they did a 21 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.239 segment where Hangman was in the ring and looked up 22 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.760 at the tron and saw MJF in the back along 23 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.879 with Ricochet and the Gates of Agony, and they had 24 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.480 Mark Briscoe tied to a chair and MJF was about 25 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.280 to set this man on fire if Hangman did not 26 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:29.079 acquiesce to three demands that he had, and he was 27 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.719 giving him a very short period of time to agree 28 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:35.200 to these demands. Number one, that their title match on 29 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.120 Sunday result in a new champion on a disqualifcation. So 30 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.519 if Hangman were to be disqualified, we would have a 31 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.239 new AW World champion. Hangman is to be counted out 32 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.200 of the ring. We have a new AW World Champion. 33 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.319 And MJF said, well, while I have you in this 34 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.599 situation here and I'm making demands, we're gonna undo what 35 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.000 was done last week and I get my title match 36 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.439 without having to cash in my Casino Gauntlet contract. And 37 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.400 he gave him five seconds and he counted to four 38 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.400 before Hangman finally agreed. And so now the title is 39 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.759 on the line without the contract. The contract is not 40 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.439 going to be wasted here in this match. If MJF loses, 41 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.400 theoretically he will still have a guaranteed championship match that 42 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.520 he could cash in later on. He could cash it 43 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.759 in that night after he loses. I don't necessarily think 44 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.400 he will. So those are the big changes and developments 45 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.240 to the World Championship match on Sunday. You know, if 46 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.080 I'm MJF, the smartest thing to do would just be 47 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:43.960 to hire somebody to beat the shit out of me 48 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.400 and get me, you know, the championship out of disqualification, right, 49 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.159 That would make the most sense. This match could be 50 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.400 over in two minutes flat. All it takes is him 51 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.240 paying somebody off to come in and punch him in 52 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.800 the face, and just like that, we have a new 53 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.639 aw World champion. I don't think it's gonna end quite 54 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.319 that easy. Will Osprey was also on the show tonight. 55 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.840 He is the walking wounded, and he certainly implied without 56 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.599 outright saying it, he implied that he is going to 57 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.800 be having a very invasive, very major neck surgery soon 58 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.680 that is going to see him on the shelf for 59 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.520 quite some time. And he even went out of his 60 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.439 way to mention that he is not medically cleared. He 61 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.520 was not medically cleared this past week to actually perform it. 62 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:35.400 Forbidden Door. But he's going to Okay. Now, I know 63 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.000 it's a non sanctioned match on Sunday, but my god, 64 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.840 I mean, you know you have somebody who is telling 65 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.479 you in this storyline here that I'm not medically cleared, 66 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.919 But damn it, I'm gonna fight. I'm still getting in 67 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.719 that ring, and if it's the last match I ever 68 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.719 have as myself, I'm gonna go out in a blaze 69 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.919 of glory. I could I could practically see the tear 70 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.520 streaming down Tony Khan's face in the back as he 71 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.639 was watching this. We had the finals of the tag 72 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.639 team tournament to decide who would challenge the Hurt Syndicate 73 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.120 at Forbidden Door. It all built to this, This tournament 74 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.639 has been taking place now over these last several weeks, 75 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.759 and it all built to the finals tonight, and we 76 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:19.959 had no winner. We had this week's long tournament and 77 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.120 we had no declarative winner, which means that we are 78 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.519 now getting a triple threat, that we are getting the 79 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.240 same thing that we got in Texas at all in 80 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.120 we're doing it again. We're running it back, just with 81 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.519 a couple of different teams at Forbidden Door. And so 82 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.720 the Hurt Syndicate will have to defend their titles now 83 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.800 against not one, but two teams. The other thing, and 84 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.360 by the way, that was easily the best thing, the 85 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.399 best match on the entire show, But that's not really 86 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:49.560 a surprise. You put FTR in the ring with Brody 87 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.120 King and Bandido and you give them thirty minutes. I mean, 88 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.600 it's gonna be hard to top that, and they certainly 89 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.439 did not. We also had another change, not just the 90 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.720 main event at Forbidden Door, but we had a change 91 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.279 to another match at Forbidden Door because Adam Copeland and 92 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.040 Christian Cage are going to be wrestling their first match 93 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:13.639 together as a team in fourteen years. You don't have 94 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.839 to wait until Toronto in September to see it. And 95 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.240 they were supposed to wrestle Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian. 96 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.160 What is left of the patriarchy, I guess now it 97 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.040 would be the matriarchy, I suppose. Apparently Nick Wayne has 98 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.839 a broken foot, or at least that's what they said 99 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.519 on TV, and so we had a surprise return tonight. 100 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.199 The match is going to take place just without Nick Wayne, 101 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.240 who I mean, honestly, Nick Wayne is the one who 102 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:45.319 Christian has been working with and wanted to work with, 103 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.040 and this was going to be a very important match 104 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.040 for him, and now that's out the window. But in 105 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.360 his place is a former aw Tag team champion that 106 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.040 we have not seen for a very long time, and 107 00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.959 I will say I won't tell you who it is yet, 108 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:00.519 but I will say that it was good to see 109 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.480 him on the show tonight because there were some scary 110 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.560 health situations for him over the past year where it 111 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:08.600 sounded like he may never make it back to the ring. 112 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.920 So to see him back out there tonight and to 113 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.920 see him as the substitute at Forbidden Door, I'm happy 114 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.560 for the guy. I'm glad that he is well enough 115 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.120 to get back in the ring. So we'll talk about 116 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.160 who that is and what happened tonight, because we did 117 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.920 have an interview segment in the Ring Live with Tony 118 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:31.199 Shiavanni interviewing Adam Copeland and Christian Cage after the reunion 119 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.920 that we saw on last week's show, and we now 120 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.720 know all three women who are going to be challenging 121 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.040 Mercedes Monet in the four Way on Sunday for her 122 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.319 TBS Championship. It will be Alex Windsor, as we already 123 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:53.839 know representing aw it will be Persephone, not Persephone, as 124 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.399 JD said on Tuesday Night Titans last night. It will 125 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.800 be Persephone representing CMLL. But we had no idea who 126 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.879 was going to be representing Stardom. Like this was the 127 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.759 last Dynamite before Forbidden Door, we kind of needed to 128 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.160 know who the representative was going to be from Stardom 129 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.560 and we did find out it is going to be Bozilla, 130 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.519 And for those of you asking who, you are not alone, 131 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.160 I'm sure, but it will be Bozilla, who is a 132 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.439 twenty one year old newcomer to Stardom who has not 133 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.199 been there for very long, and she's from Germany. So 134 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:37.560 we have a German wrestler representing a Japanese promotion on 135 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.759 a British event being hosted by an American company. This 136 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.319 is truly a global event, and not a single person 137 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.199 in the world believes that Mercedes Monet is going to 138 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.680 lose her TBS championship to any of these people representing 139 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.600 these other promotions. But at least now we know who 140 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.000 she's going to be wrestling. So we're going to talk 141 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.879 about that. The women were in the main event tonight. 142 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.199 By the way, they got the main event spot. We'll 143 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.240 talk about that. We'll talk about a bunch of things, 144 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.120 including this, and we'll start here with this because this 145 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.399 was something that was made official and broke only a 146 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:20.120 few hours ago, and it does affect AW now. This 147 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.399 has been the ruben going around now for about a week. 148 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.360 It became official this afternoon. As you will see here 149 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.959 with this graphic on your screen. WWE and ESPN have 150 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.080 made it official. They are getting an early start to 151 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:40.320 their new partnership and WWE is going to be producing 152 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:45.639 an event on Saturday, September twentieth at seven o'clock Eastern time. 153 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:50.080 That is the same night that AW presents All Out 154 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:58.559 from Toronto at eight pm Eastern, WWE presents Russell Palooza Indianapolis, 155 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.320 US it All Out And while we know this is confirmed, 156 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.559 not confirm yet, but very likely is the fact that 157 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.360 this show is going to feature the John Cena Brocklesner 158 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.039 main event. They're gonna go no pun intent that they're 159 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.240 gonna go all out here to try to make this 160 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.679 show as big as they possibly can. Brocklesner and John 161 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.480 Cena is expected to be the main event of this show. 162 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.039 Cody Rhodes against Drew McIntyre is another match that has 163 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.240 been rumored heavily for this show because it doesn't look 164 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.440 like it's happening in Clash from Paris, So we're probably 165 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.919 looking at a double main event on that show of 166 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.080 John Cena against Brocklesner and Cody Rhoads defending the WWE Championship, 167 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.519 quite possibly against Drew McIntyre. Now, this is going to 168 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.720 be the first pl to stream officially on the new 169 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:53.200 ESPN streaming service. This is not ESPN Plus. They are 170 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.919 launching a brand new service tomorrow, so there's gonna be 171 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.639 I think a big press conference is going to be 172 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.120 a lot of media tomorrow around this launch. That's why 173 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.639 they waited until this afternoon to make the announcement. I 174 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.320 think WWE is going to be part of the announcement tomorrow. 175 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.440 The key here is that this is the first of 176 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.000 what will be pls on ESPN going forward every month. 177 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:21.039 Peacock is no longer doing WWE main roster pls. They're 178 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.399 still doing the NXT ones until the end of the year, 179 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.720 they are no longer doing any main roster ones. They 180 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.919 have filled their quota and so now it's on ESPN 181 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.720 going forward. And if you have ESPN the network. You 182 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.679 will likely have free access to this new ESPN streaming 183 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.360 service and you will not have to pay the twenty 184 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.879 nine ninety nine. If you don't have access to ESPN, 185 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.360 well your shit out of luck unless you have a VPS. 186 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.600 And this is a great time to get yourself a 187 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.799 VPN because I have YouTube TV, which means I don't 188 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:59.559 have access to that service, so in the absence of 189 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:01.440 a VP and I would have to pay for it. 190 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.759 But nonetheless, so that's the update on that and the 191 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.279 other thing also, and this also ties into AW so 192 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.720 I may as well mention it here. There were some 193 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.679 rumors about the date of John Sena's retirement match. That 194 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:21.279 John Seen's retirement match was rumored for Saturday Night's Main 195 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.480 event in December, and for many months the date was 196 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.840 supposedly going to be December thirteenth in Boston. Then these 197 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.679 reports started creeping up that well, they might actually push 198 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.039 to have it on December twenty seventh. December twenty seventh 199 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.399 just so happens to be the night of AW World's 200 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:43.360 end in Chicago, and so they might run that last 201 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.639 edition of Saturday Night's Main event this year with John 202 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.960 Seen is big retirement match opposite the aw pay per view. 203 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.720 Just the fuck with them, And I just thought, you know, 204 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.840 if that's going to be John seen is a retirement match, 205 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.919 you know what, just just do it on a night 206 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.840 where you have the night all to yourself so you 207 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.919 can maximize your audience for it and not do this 208 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.200 petty bullshit for one night. And they're not final. Saturday 209 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:09.919 Night's main event of the year will be taking place 210 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:14.039 on December thirteenth, so World's End has been spared, unless, 211 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.200 of course, they put together an NXT show that night, 212 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.399 which they very well could do. But yes, World's End 213 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:23.559 will not be going opposite John Seena's retirement match. Now, 214 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.279 as I go on here, just I want to point 215 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.000 out to those of you who are in the live chat, 216 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.360 there is a poll in the live chat right now. 217 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.480 Put this up earlier. You want to vote asking which 218 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.279 event obviously, if you are going to be watching at 219 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.200 least one of them, which event are you planning on 220 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.879 watching live on September twentieth. Is it WWE Wrestle Palooza 221 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.600 or is it aw all Out? So go ahead and vote. 222 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.440 All Out is winning right now, which is not a 223 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.200 huge surprise. This is an AAW stream, But go ahead 224 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.759 and vote and we'll check back in on those results 225 00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:59.799 a little bit later. I put the same pole up 226 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:04.000 on X in lieu of our typical polls. I did 227 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.159 a poll on that. We'll check in with that later 228 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.480 see what the results are. Very interested to see what 229 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.159 that looks like. This is your AW Dynamite review. It 230 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:16.120 is Wednesday, August twentieth, twenty twenty five. I am the 231 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.320 Solemn Monster. Thank you for hanging out with me here 232 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.039 on a Wednesday night. Like and subscribe. We are over 233 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.799 eighty eight thy one hundred subs on our way to 234 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.440 eighty nine. Help me get there. Superchats are open. We 235 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.919 have a superchat goal in the chats a little bit 236 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.960 different than usual, so if we hit that, we will 237 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.240 do a double edition of Be the Booker. Of course, 238 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.159 if we hit minimum four hundred likes on this video 239 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.240 while I am live, we will do Be the Booker. 240 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.320 And if we don't, then we won't. That's gonna be 241 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.240 up to you guys. Now. This Sunday is Forbidden Door, 242 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:51.679 and I will be going live Sunday night. Forbidden Door, 243 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.919 by the way, just remember has a one o'clock Eastern 244 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.399 start time and I'm not going to go live as 245 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.480 soon as it's over. It's probably gonna end around five, 246 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.759 I mean to an aw pay per view. So what 247 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.240 are we thinking here? Five thirty ish, five thirty eastern. 248 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.440 Maybe the plan is to go live around eight o'clock Eastern, 249 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.559 give myself some time to eat, and then get ready 250 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.120 for the big reviews. So that's the plan for Sunday. 251 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:19.480 I will be live. I hope you will join me 252 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:23.879 for the Forbidden Door review. Yes, it is that time 253 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.000 of year where everybody gets excited to see matches that 254 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:31.600 in most cases have no build in terms of the 255 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.440 actual Forbidden Door matches. Yeah, a lot of the AW 256 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.519 centric matches they have build to them. You may not 257 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:40.320 like the build, but they do have build. But then 258 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.240 you have these matches like Kyle Fletcher and Hiromu Takahashi, 259 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.919 which is just sort of thrown out there. And you 260 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.480 have Bozilla, who was announced fucking you know, five days 261 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:57.080 before the pay per view. Okay, whatev. Dynamite open tonight 262 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.799 with a surprise appearance by the American Draft. He's not 263 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.919 wrestling it Forbidden Door, although he'll be there, I'm sure, 264 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.919 but he was on commentary Tonaight Brian Danielson making a 265 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.600 surprise appearance here on Dynamite here in Glasgow. He was 266 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.039 on commentary for the remainder of the show with ex 267 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.399 Caliber and Tony Shavanni. Taz was not there. He posted 268 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.919 on Twitter a couple of days ago that he was 269 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.320 not making the trip. He had a knee replacement not 270 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.960 that long ago, and apparently long flights are his enemies, 271 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.240 so he was going to hang back, so he will 272 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.399 not be on commentary on Sunday either. Then they showed 273 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:41.159 hangman Adam Page stepping off the train earlier today, stepping 274 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.879 off of public transit and wheeling his luggage to get 275 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:50.320 to the arena. See a man of the people, believe 276 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.919 CM Punk complained about this once when he was caught. 277 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.559 Someone took a photograph of him riding the train. Right. 278 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.960 This was an when he didn't get picked up when 279 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.679 he landed there for the Wembley Show. I don't know 280 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.960 if this was an inside joke about that or not, 281 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.000 but again he a man of the people here hangman 282 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.399 riding the train to the arena. So Will Osprey made 283 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.039 his way out next and he got a great reaction. 284 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.159 They sang to him once he was in the ring. 285 00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.759 He thanked them for putting a smile on his face 286 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:28.440 after having the worst month of his life. Osprey reminisced 287 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.799 about the days when he used to wrestle in Scotland, 288 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.559 and he said he loved the food, which got a 289 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:40.720 sausage roll chant. I'm not really familiar with that. Sounds 290 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:45.039 kind of interesting. Can't say that I've had one. Is 291 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:50.399 that a thing over there in Scotland? Sausage rolls. Osprey 292 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:52.240 said that after what the death Riders did to him, 293 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.840 it was the first time that he's felt human in 294 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.679 his career, because when you're young, you feel indestructible, right, 295 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.799 you feel invincible. You can do anything like fucking Javon 296 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.400 Evans on NXT last night. I went back and I 297 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.039 watched that dive when Trick Williams he pushed him backwards 298 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.079 off the middle rope, and my god, what the fuck 299 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.119 was he thinking taking that bump? I mean, was he 300 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:20.200 was centimeters away from catastrophe on that bump. But that's 301 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.400 what happens when you're young. You just you do stupid shit. 302 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.559 You think you're invincible until one day you're not. So. 303 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.119 Osprey said, this is the first time he's really felt human, 304 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.000 and it was to the point with him where he 305 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.359 would do all this crazy stuff and everybody used to 306 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.039 look at him and say, man, your nuts taking bitchidoku. 307 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:42.880 He said, once said that Osprey was an alien. So 308 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.039 Osprey realized that he's going to have to travel down 309 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.720 a road soon that many wrestlers have before. And then 310 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.759 he revealed that this past week he was not medically 311 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.200 cleared to compete at Forbidden Door. But a light's out 312 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.960 steel cage match means it's unsanctioned. Therefore it is out 313 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.000 of Aw's hands. If he gets hurt, it's no one's 314 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.720 fault but his own. And the fans started chanting, please 315 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.880 don't die, like they probably chant that in every Osprey match. 316 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.000 Osprey said he's aware of the risks, but AW means 317 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.440 so much to him. He's here to prove a point 318 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.799 that he will be the standard for those three initials. 319 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.319 If there's a chance that he can't be the same 320 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.880 well Osprey after Sunday, then he's gonna leave it all 321 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.920 out there, come Forbidden Door. Ospray said he's doing this 322 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:35.319 for revenge as he is entering this lights out cage 323 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.400 match with four of his best friends wanting the same thing. 324 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.920 Before doctors take a scalpel to him and his neck, 325 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:46.319 he is going to take his pound of flesh from 326 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.279 John Moxley. And right on cue John Moxley's music hits, 327 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:56.079 he walks out with Marina Shaffir. Brian Danielson on commentary 328 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.359 says that he promised Tony Kahan that he would be 329 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.839 on his best behavior. He's just here to be a commentator, 330 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.240 not looking for revenge for what Moxley did to him 331 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.680 at Wrestle Dream last year. So we got a little 332 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.240 face off. And as these two are facing off, Claudio 333 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.039 and Wheeler you do They slowly joined up on the 334 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.920 apron Osprey said that if Moxley wants to get rid 335 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.160 of him, don't have your boys do it. Do it yourself. 336 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:24.119 And before Moxley could say anything, Jet Speed hit the 337 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.720 ring to no reaction. Nobody cared. They hit the ring, 338 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.960 they started fighting with the death riders. Osprey left and 339 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.200 then he Wroshi Tanahashi's music hits. I'm like, what is 340 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:40.039 going on here? So Tanahashi's music hits. I guess we're 341 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:45.400 going right into the opening match here, Tanahashi. This was 342 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.119 sad because Tanahashi comes out right, the Ace, the president 343 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.160 of New Japan Pro Wrestling, the legend, the man himself. 344 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.759 He comes out, takes his jacket off, and I would 345 00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.519 say he was probably midway down the aisle, and he 346 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.240 begins to try to run, I mean as best as 347 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.559 he could. He tries to run into the ring. I mean, 348 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:13.920 I've seen grandmother's run faster. It's just pain it's painful. 349 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:20.640 It is just painful to watch. So first, Osprey comes 350 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.279 out a few weeks ago. Before we get into the match, 351 00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.119 let's just talk about what we heard here. We have 352 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.160 Osprey a few weeks ago, right coming out of all in, 353 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.880 walking out on television, saying that he has two herniated 354 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:40.240 discs in his neck that he withheld from aw medical 355 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.440 at least the severity of the injury that he had, 356 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:46.759 because I'm sure he's been dealing with neck pain for 357 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.400 a while. But as far as the diagnosis, you know, 358 00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.039 of having two herniated discs, I think he said C 359 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.759 two and C six. You know, he claimed that he 360 00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.039 kept it a secret, but it's obviously become too much 361 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:01.880 of an issue. So then you hear this promo and 362 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.640 you think, man, this guy's going to be going away 363 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.880 for a while. Two weeks go by, and he shows 364 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.960 up last week right to make the save, and that's 365 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:13.880 where he throws out this challenge for a lights out 366 00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.839 steel cage ten man match at Forbidden Door because John 367 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:20.559 Moxley does not want to wrestle Darby Allen. Garby Allen 368 00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.079 was the one who laid down the gauntlet to Moxley 369 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.000 for a singles match, and Moxley did not want to 370 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.799 wrestle Darby Allen. Evidently, John Moxley, though, was okay with 371 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.599 wrestling Darby Allen if it's part of a ten man 372 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.240 lights out steel cage match, which makes all the sense 373 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:38.640 in the world. And so now this week, Osprey comes 374 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:43.559 out again very sad and says that man, I'm only 375 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.200 human and I'm gonna have to go under the knife soon. 376 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.160 He's gonna have to have net without coming out and 377 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.160 outright saying he basically said he's having major neck surgery soon. 378 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.960 So I feel like we've been kind of ping ponging 379 00:21:55.079 --> 00:22:00.200 back and forth here with Osprey, but he's out here 380 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.559 saying I'm not medically cleared, and that part, I'm sure is, 381 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.599 you know, for storyline purposes, even though maybe he shouldn't 382 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.960 be medically cleared. But the storyline is I'm not medically cleared, 383 00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.440 but it's an unsanctioned match, and AW can't do anything 384 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.119 about it. Well, I guess, I guess not. Evidently, Tony 385 00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.720 Khan's hands are tied. There's nothing he can do. Tony 386 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.799 Khan is powerless to do anything to stop this man. 387 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.240 He's going to go out there. He'll break his neck 388 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:27.960 if that's what he has to do, because he cares 389 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:32.079 so deeply about AW and just being all the lead 390 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.759 and the sickos and the hardcores and the diehards and 391 00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.400 what they represent, that he's going to go out there 392 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.039 and if it's the last thing he does, and nobody's 393 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.039 going to be able to stop him, including Tony Khan. 394 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.920 So this is where we are now. No Kenny Omega, 395 00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.519 he and Coded Bushi were announced for that big lights 396 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.319 out match last week. There was nothing, no promo, no appearance, 397 00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.079 no no nothing from them here on the show this week. 398 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:04.839 The surgery, I don't know when he's having the surgery. 399 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.279 I imagine it would be shortly after Forbidden Door. I 400 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.079 don't know if that decision has been made. I don't 401 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:13.119 know if a date has been set, but let's assume 402 00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:17.519 it happens fairly soon after the pay per view. The 403 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.559 kind of surgery that he's implying here is something that's 404 00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:22.200 going to keep him out for a very long time, 405 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:24.400 like it could keep him out for the better part 406 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.319 of a year. And even if he was to make 407 00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:31.960 it back before a full year, let's say it's too bad. 408 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.359 Storyline wise, it's too bad because they're going back to 409 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.279 Wembley Stadium next year, I presume in August, because Tony 410 00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:41.680 kind of likes doing the bank holiday weekends. So a 411 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:43.599 year from now they're going to be back in London, 412 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:45.480 but they're going to be back at Wembley, and they're 413 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:50.279 going to be doing all in and Osprey. Challenging for 414 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.519 and winning the aw World Championship at their big stadium 415 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.559 show in London would be the obvious path to go here. 416 00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.599 I don't see how that's going to be possible now, 417 00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:03.319 you know, even if he's not out for a full year, 418 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:05.240 if they work it the way they've worked it for 419 00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.880 the past couple of years, which I think is the 420 00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.759 way to go, he would have to be in the 421 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.880 Owen first, which is going to be taking place, you know, 422 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:14.559 a couple months even before all in, and he would 423 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:16.200 have to win the Owen and then he could become 424 00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:20.640 number one contender. It seems very ambitious, not that we 425 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.279 haven't had wrestlers come back sooner than they should, it 426 00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:29.039 seems very ambitious. And he's He's one of Tony Kahan's very, 427 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:31.519 very top names, so losing him is going to be 428 00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:34.279 a body blow to the company, losing one of their 429 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.039 top baby faces like that. But his health is the 430 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:40.000 most important thing. You know. He has worked a style 431 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.079 for many, many years at a very young age that 432 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.960 has been very hard on his body, and he's been 433 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.920 hurting for a long time. He's had, you know, other injuries, 434 00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:51.880 and I'm sure he's all banged up all the time. 435 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.920 Eventually it catches up to you, as as it has 436 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.680 now with his neck. You know, every time he works 437 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:01.519 one of the these matches, as great as they are, 438 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:05.720 he's shaving years off of his career. So this sort 439 00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.400 of thing was inevitable working the kind of style that 440 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.480 he does. I think the most important thing is for 441 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.039 them to just try to get him back as close 442 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.440 to one hundred percent as you could possibly get him back, 443 00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:17.680 because he is going to be one of the key 444 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:21.039 pieces for Tony Kahan, you know, going forward once he's 445 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.480 able to get him back, but it's going to be 446 00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:26.559 a very long time before we see him. So I 447 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.079 hope whatever we see of him on Sunday he doesn't 448 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:37.440 do anything overly crazy. I would hope that he airs 449 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:39.240 on the side of caution, which I know is not 450 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:43.519 the way that he typically does things, but I would 451 00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:46.119 certainly hope that's the case on Sunday. Especially, got nine 452 00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:48.640 other guys in the ring. You don't have to put 453 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:51.200 it all on yourself. It's not like when he was 454 00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.160 in the cage with Kyle Fletcher and it's one on one, right. 455 00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:56.799 You got nine other guys in this match. You could 456 00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.000 do all kinds of crazy shit, and they can bleed 457 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:00.839 and they can jump off the top of the cage. 458 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:05.279 Will Osprey does not have to do that. So the 459 00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:10.240 match was Hiroshi Tanahashi Speedball, Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight 460 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:14.240 against John Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Youda. Marina Shafir 461 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:16.720 she tried to get involved early on, she got ejected 462 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.359 by the referee. So will Osprey comes back out at 463 00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:23.519 that point on stage picks her up over his shoulder 464 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.160 and carries her to the back. Kevin Knight started to 465 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:31.079 make a comeback. Tanahashi tagged in. He delivered a sentan 466 00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:34.440 from the middle rope for a two count. Mike Bailey 467 00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.200 delivered a series of kicks to da I got shocking right, 468 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.279 Speedball delivering some kicks to Wheeler Yudah and then delivered 469 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.039 a moon salt to Moxley out on the floor. Knight 470 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.279 then landed a flying clothes line to Claudio jet Speed 471 00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.480 and Tanahashi. They delivered three simultaneous twist and shout neck 472 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:54.839 breakers in the ring. Tanahashi set up for a high 473 00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.200 fly flow to Wheeler Udah, but Gabe Kid and the 474 00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:04.400 Bullet Club war Dog they ran out. They ran distraction 475 00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:07.640 and Kid got up on the apron. He tripped up 476 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.119 Tanahashi on the top rope and you could tell that 477 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:13.759 g one just wrapped up. So they were actually able 478 00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:16.200 to get some new japan names on the show tonight. 479 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.480 Osprey then appeared again on stage, but this time when 480 00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:24.079 he came back out, he had a body bag over 481 00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.519 his shoulder and there was obviously a person. There was 482 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:32.319 a body inside the body bag, and this caused a distraction. 483 00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.599 This led to the Death Riders to believe that he 484 00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.480 had Marina Shaffir inside the body beg because the last 485 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.640 time we saw him he had carried her to the back. 486 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:43.759 So the idea here, and I knew right away it 487 00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:45.759 was Darby Allen because it was obvious that it was. 488 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.839 But the idea was that, oh, he's got Marina in 489 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:50.440 the body bag, what's he going to do to her? 490 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.359 As all of this is going on, Tanahashi recovers and 491 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:58.039 he hits a high fly flow on Wheeler Yuda and 492 00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:01.640 he gets the pin. So after the match is over, 493 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.039 the war Dogs and the Death Riders they start a 494 00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.400 beat down inside the ring. The Young Bucks come out 495 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:10.279 on stage and they appear right behind Osprey. He turns 496 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:14.960 around eats a double superkick Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly. 497 00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:20.279 What's left of Paragon? They run out and they chase 498 00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.920 them away. They chase the Bucks away, and Roddy seemed 499 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:28.319 completely unbothered by the possibility that his wife, Marina Shaffir 500 00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:32.839 could very well be trapped inside this body bag. I 501 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:35.119 would hope that Will Osprey kind of clued him in 502 00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.799 that it wasn't her in the bag. Beforehand. Otherwise it's 503 00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:42.000 it's gonna be a conversation between those two when they 504 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.880 get home. So Claudio and Moxley they finally open the 505 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:50.000 body bag. Of course, Darby Allen pops out and attacks them, 506 00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.359 and then the Ops come out, because why the fuck not. 507 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:54.680 They're not even in a match on Sunday, but here 508 00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:57.960 come the Ops. They join in the fight. Giant brawl 509 00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.960 breaks out that spills into the crowd, conveniently over right 510 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:05.039 by one of the tunnels, which has a little balcony 511 00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.279 for the next level right above it. And so I'm 512 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:10.880 waiting and I'm watching, I'm like, where's Darby. You know 513 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.240 what's about to happen. Where's Darby? And then sure enough 514 00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:16.559 there's Darby on the balcony and he does a coffin 515 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:20.079 drop off the balcony and he takes everybody out. So 516 00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:23.880 the match itself was pretty much a blur. I mean, 517 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.960 it was fine as an opening match. The postmatch stuff 518 00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.559 was all over the place, but that's what they wanted 519 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.480 to show you that it's going to be complete chaos. 520 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:35.599 Even though they're going to be trapped in a cage, 521 00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:38.160 it's going to be complete chaos inside whatever this cage 522 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.640 is going to look like complete chaos inside the cage 523 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.680 for the lights out match on Sunday. Here the Babyfaces 524 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.440 were left standing tall, and I thought they would be 525 00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:51.839 on Sunday. You know, when I did my predictions the 526 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:56.039 other day, I no longer believe that. I no longer 527 00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.279 think the baby Faces are going to be standing victorious 528 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:05.119 on Sunday. Tony Shavanni, for the next segment, was in 529 00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:09.720 the ring to introduce Adam Copeland out and he came 530 00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:13.920 out and the crowd sang his theme song. They were 531 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:21.160 singing some altar bridge. Christian came out and Christian then 532 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:24.200 started to tell the fans in Glasgow to sit down 533 00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:27.039 and shut their mouths, and before he could say anymore, 534 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.200 Copeland just swiped the microphone out of his hand and said, 535 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:32.640 are you really going to do that? Man? Are you 536 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:35.680 going to do that? Here he said that he and 537 00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.519 Christian are the greatest tag team of all time, and 538 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.319 he admitted that Christian is an asshole. But here's the 539 00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:46.240 thing that Copeland has learned from over the years. Sometimes 540 00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:51.000 you need an asshole. I would say that you need 541 00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:54.359 an asshole all the time, Otherwise that's going to get 542 00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:58.839 very uncomfortable. I think that's a pretty important part of 543 00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.519 the body as a matter of fact. So yes, but yes, 544 00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:05.000 he says that you need an asshole in your life sometimes, 545 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:09.519 and it just so happens that Christian is his asshole. 546 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.200 So Chavani brought up Copeland, telling Christian it all in 547 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.480 to go find himself, and he asked, Christian, have you 548 00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.440 have you found yourself? Christian said, you know, I took 549 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.640 some time and I did just that. I looked within myself. 550 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:31.759 I looked deep within my soul and I did find myself. 551 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.519 And guess what he found. He doesn't need to change 552 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.960 a thing. He is perfect just the way he is. 553 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:44.000 And the fans cheered because they agree. Because that people 554 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:45.799 might be wondering if the two of us are on 555 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.880 the same page, and we are not, he says, not 556 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.480 by a long shot. There's a lot of scar tissue there. 557 00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:54.039 They may not be on the same page, but at 558 00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:57.799 least they're writing in the same book. Now. He knows 559 00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.759 people here were hoping for some bubble reunion of perhaps 560 00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:04.200 the greatest tag team of all time. But that's not 561 00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.880 what this is. This is not a happy reunion, said, 562 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:11.720 this is a reunion out of necessity because Adam has 563 00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.200 agreed to help him with his Nick and Kip problem, 564 00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.000 and in turn, he has agreed to help Adam with 565 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:20.720 his FTR problem. He can't commit to more than that, 566 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.559 but he will stand here tonight and shake Copeland's hand, 567 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:26.519 look him straight in the eye, and say, this version 568 00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:30.680 of Christian Cage will be the best version, the best 569 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.920 tag team partner that Copeland has ever had. With that, 570 00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:38.079 the fans cheered, and he put his hand out and 571 00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:42.160 Copeland accepted. And then before we could go any further, 572 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:46.559 they were interrupted by Kip Sabian's voice and he walked 573 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.599 out on stage along with Mother Wayne. And then Mother 574 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:53.640 Wayne spoke. She doesn't get promo time very often, like 575 00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.319 in front of the live crowd, but yes, Mother Wayne 576 00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.039 Shana got to speak and she said, who are these 577 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:05.559 fans that bow us? Who are they to boo? A 578 00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:09.079 mother and not just any mother, a mother to the prodigy, 579 00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:15.240 said Roxane Perez. She on Dynamite, are we getting the 580 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:20.559 real forbidden door this weekend? No, the other prodigy. She's 581 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.599 the mother of Nick Wayne. And they throw it to 582 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.799 the tron, and up on the tron we see Nick Wayne. 583 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.160 Nick Wayne is not there. He is definitely not in Glasgow. 584 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:33.960 It looks like he's in the garage. Never when Swerve 585 00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:36.920 and ar Fox beat the shit out of him when 586 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.400 he was training in his garage back at home. So 587 00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:43.000 he was in the garage there. The ring is behind him. 588 00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.200 He's standing there and he's got two crutches. He's got 589 00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:49.039 one crutch on, like they're not under his shoulders, but 590 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.119 he got he has one crutch on either side of him. 591 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.720 And Nick said that last Wednesday, Christian saved Copeland, but 592 00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:59.039 he wasn't far behind. I mean literally, like he came 593 00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:03.480 out to save Copeland with spike the board with the 594 00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.640 nails in it, and like as soon as Christian Christian 595 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:08.519 ran down to the ring, like Nick, Wayne was right 596 00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.920 behind him with a chair. So he mentioned that he 597 00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:15.000 was right behind him. And while Cage swung that spiked 598 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:20.559 board in dodging him, Nick broke his foot. Cage took 599 00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.239 forbidden door away from him a night where he would 600 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:26.480 have made their reunion into a farewell tour. It's a 601 00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:29.000 blessing in disguise that he won't be there on Sunday. 602 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:34.480 But he tells Cage he's always one step ahead, and 603 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.159 at that point they played a very brief video on 604 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:41.320 the big screen that showed someone, and that someone was 605 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:46.400 kill Switch, the former Lucasaurus. He was laying on a 606 00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.159 table or a gurney, hooked up to all kinds of 607 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:53.920 wires and tubes, seemingly coming back to life, sitting up 608 00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:59.400 like Frankenstein's Monster. Then they cut back live and they 609 00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.920 plays music. Any Power walks down to the ring with 610 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:07.239 Sabian behind him and Motherwayne behind him. Cage clothesline Sabian 611 00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:10.199 over the top rope, not realizing that kill Switch had 612 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:12.280 just laid out Copeland with a chokes lamb, which he 613 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:14.360 did as soon as he got into the ring. So 614 00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.639 now Christian, Cage and kill Switch come face to face 615 00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:21.639 and Christian is obviously scared. He doesn't know quite what 616 00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:25.119 to make of this. They had a little stare down. 617 00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:28.079 Kill Switch was about to walk off, but then he 618 00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:33.199 turned back. He goozles Christian and he delivers a chokes 619 00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:37.519 lamb to Christian Cage, and so kill Switch stood tall 620 00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:41.239 with Sabian and Motherwayne over a fall in Copeland and Christian. 621 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.039 Kill Switch was then confirmed on commentary. The graphic was 622 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:49.280 already Christian and Copeland will be taking on kill Switch 623 00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.599 and Kip Sabian. So kill Switch is officially the replacement 624 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:56.400 for Nick Wayne on Sunday. And then I should point 625 00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.480 out that from this they cut to Mark Briscoe in 626 00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:03.320 the back, who was just a madman. When is he not? 627 00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:05.880 But he was just a madman, and he was in 628 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.639 the back looking for MJF and he promised to kill him. 629 00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:13.960 So we had one threat of attempted murder, and then 630 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.880 we had one act of attempted murder later in the show, 631 00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.599 which I will get to. As far as this segment here, 632 00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.840 I'm going to assume that Nick's legitimately injured and he 633 00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:27.559 did break his foot. Nothing looked wrong last week. I 634 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:29.960 even went back real quick and watched the segment from 635 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:35.159 last week when he dodged the spike shot from Christian 636 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:36.719 and then he left the ring and he was moving 637 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.719 around fine. So I don't know if he's got a 638 00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:42.480 broken foot. I don't know if it's a storyline, I 639 00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.559 don't know if it's a cover for another injury. I'm 640 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.000 going to assume he has a broken foot if so, 641 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.199 because otherwise the only thing I would say is him 642 00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:56.440 being replaced in this match does not necessarily guarantee all well, 643 00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:58.960 it's definitely a shoot, right, because otherwise he would be 644 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:01.960 in the match. One of the things that I said 645 00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:04.239 last week, and I said it on TNT last night, like, 646 00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.199 ideally you would be setting up for Christian in a 647 00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:11.519 singles match against Nick Wayne, right, because you could do 648 00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:13.519 the tag match it Forbidden Door, but you gotta do 649 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.320 Christian and Nick Wayne one on one. I mean, this 650 00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:20.239 match was designed to, in my opinion, blow off the 651 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:23.000 patriarchy stuff with Christian so they can move on to 652 00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:27.719 Cope and Christian and FTR. But you can't really fully 653 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.400 blow it off until you do Christian against Nick Wayne. 654 00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.920 So it's at least possible that maybe he's not hurt. 655 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:38.719 This was their way of reintroducing kill switch. Maybe he 656 00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:42.159 shows up it Forbidden Door. Maybe he costs Copeland and 657 00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:45.599 Christian the match and they actually lose off of, you know, 658 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.519 the interference of Nick Wayne, and then we get Christian 659 00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:52.639 and Nick Wayne on television one on one. You can't 660 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:56.320 completely disqualify that as a possibility. I'm going to operate 661 00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:58.920 under the assumption that it is a legitimate injury. If 662 00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:02.840 it is, it continues the bad luck streak for these 663 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:06.599 Ring of Honor champions. Because if he's got a broken foot, 664 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:08.559 that's a few months right there. He's gonna have to 665 00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.599 vacate the Ring of Honor Television Championship because he's the 666 00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:15.639 TV champion. Dustin Rose just had double knee replacement surgery. 667 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:19.400 He's got two titles. He's one half of the Ring 668 00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.440 of Honor Tag Team Champions and he's one third of 669 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.880 the Ring of Honor six Man Tag Team Champions. So 670 00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:29.840 it has not been a good month if you are 671 00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:33.679 a champion in Ring of Honor. Now, as far as 672 00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:37.760 kill Switch is concerned, very very good to see him back. 673 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:41.639 He almost died like it was a very very serious 674 00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:45.159 touch and go situation late last year. For those of 675 00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.880 you who don't remember, there was a whole story about it. 676 00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:54.639 I think his fiance found him passed out collapsed at home. 677 00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:57.840 He had to be rushed to the hospital. They found 678 00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:01.639 that his blood oxygen level was dangerously it was like 679 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:06.519 eighty or something, which is not good. And also they've 680 00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.599 discovered that he had double pneumonia in each of his lungs. 681 00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.239 We had pneumonia in each lung, so he was having 682 00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.519 breathing problems. He wasn't breathing on his own. I think 683 00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:19.239 for a while it was. It was very very serious, 684 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.039 and there was certainly questions not just about his overall health, 685 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:23.559 but whether or not he would even be able to 686 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:26.079 get back in the ring. And he's been gone for 687 00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:27.679 a long time now. I don't know when he was 688 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.000 medically cleared. He could have been medically cleared months ago 689 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.880 for all we know, but this is just the time 690 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.960 where they finally came up with an idea for him. Yes, 691 00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.800 Like in WWE I was at I asked the question 692 00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.519 some time ago, we were talking about Ilia dragone of 693 00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:43.800 I'm like, what the fuck is he? And then I 694 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.239 see these reports like he's been medically clear, they're just 695 00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:48.360 waiting for creative to come up with something for him 696 00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:51.519 to do. So that happens sometimes. But I'm very happy 697 00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:53.920 that he's doing better and you know, he's able to 698 00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:57.400 get back in the ring. As far as the Christian 699 00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:02.039 and Copeland alliance here again, it felt it felt last week. 700 00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:04.679 Even though they've been teasing it, it still felt rushed, 701 00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.960 like wow, they already gave it to us now, and 702 00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:10.360 then they made the announcement of the match instead of 703 00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.480 waiting on their first match in fourteen years and doing 704 00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.199 it in Toronto. It's like, Wow, they're giving this, They're 705 00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:19.000 given this to us at forbidden door, so that all 706 00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:21.400 but guarantees it's got to be a tag team championship 707 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.159 match now in Toronto, because you've now given away the 708 00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:26.840 big attraction, which is seeing these two back in the 709 00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:29.840 ring together for the first time and so long. The 710 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.400 next big attraction would be them going after the tag 711 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.480 team titles, So I guess you know, save that for 712 00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:39.280 all Out. But Christian looked very hesitant last week, like 713 00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:41.639 Copeland hugged him, but he didn't really hug him back. 714 00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:44.400 So it kind of felt like they're not going to 715 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.679 be quite on the same page where we have to 716 00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:49.639 get a face to face segment in the ring tonight. 717 00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:53.440 And we did, and I'll tell you why. I liked 718 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:55.920 what they did. I liked what they did as far 719 00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:57.920 as Copeland saying, you know what, this guy is still 720 00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:03.719 an asshole, Christian saying, you know what, you have a need, 721 00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:06.519 which is some help against FTR. I have a need, 722 00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:09.679 I have a patriarchy problem. We can help each other out. 723 00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:14.480 What they established here is that Christian is still an asshole, 724 00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.559 but they're going to reunite these two and they're gonna 725 00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:20.320 get mileage out of the Big Cope and Christian reunion 726 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:22.800 and then probably a Big Cope and Christian tag team 727 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.639 title when they get to do all of these things 728 00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:30.320 with Christian not having to become a babyface, right because 729 00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:35.360 Christian is such a great slime ball heel that even 730 00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.800 if he is now more of a babyface, I don't 731 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:39.480 think that should mean that he should just be a 732 00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:42.239 babyface like and do all the things that babyfaces do. 733 00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.199 That would suck, that would be lame. I like the 734 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.320 fact that they're telling you, you know what, this guy's 735 00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:50.199 still going to be a dick, but we're going to 736 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:54.400 put these two back together and do the reunion without 737 00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:57.760 him betraying, you know, everything that he's been doing for 738 00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:00.880 the last few years and just kind of like flipping 739 00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.039 on a dime, which would be dumb. So I like 740 00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:08.199 that they're not, you know, kind of bullshitting you, like, 741 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:11.320 oh now he's a completely changed person, Like nobody wants 742 00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:14.039 to see that. Like I want the Christian cage that 743 00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:17.360 we've been seeing in AW so that aspect of it. 744 00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:19.239 I like at least they're going to maintain that for 745 00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:24.000 a while. Today's episode is sponsored by mint Mobile. Don't 746 00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:26.840 get burned by your wireless bill. Don't do it. You 747 00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.960 should be out enjoying the summer, traveling, going to barbecues, 748 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.599 hitting the beach. The sun might burn you, but don't 749 00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:35.480 let your wireless provider do the same. That's why I 750 00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:38.239 made the switch to Mint Mobile. I could only see 751 00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:40.519 Ryan Reynolds on my TV so many times before I 752 00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:42.480 had to see what all the fuss was about for myself, 753 00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:45.199 and my only regret is that I wish I would 754 00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:47.840 have made the switch sooner. With mint you can get 755 00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:50.000 the coverage and speed that you're used to, but for 756 00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.239 a lot less than you're paying right now, and for 757 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.039 a limited time, mint Mobile is offering three months of 758 00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:58.519 unlimited premium wireless service for just fifteen bucks a month. 759 00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.559 That's less than half the cost of an AEW pay 760 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:04.119 per view, and as great as those can be to watch, 761 00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.199 you'll get a lot more use out of this. Say 762 00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:10.800 goodbye to your overpriced wireless plan and those depressing monthly 763 00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:14.599 bills and unexpected overages.

In the time I've 771 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:38.840 been using Mint I can't say that I've had any 772 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:42.440 complaints about their service. It's been fast, reliable. I haven't 773 00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.320 had to deal with any drop calls or Hey, you 774 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:48.480 sounded like you were underwater there for a minute. I'm 775 00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:52.559 not underwater. I am not a fish. I'm very much 776 00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:55.039 a land mammal, and that's how I should sound when 777 00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:57.360 I'm on the phone with someone. Plus, when I see 778 00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:59.159 my bill now as compared to what it used to be, 779 00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.599 it really drives how many people there are out there 780 00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:03.559 paying way more than they should be for the same 781 00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:07.000 basic service. If you fall into that category, it's not 782 00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.400 too late to make the switch. In fact, now is 783 00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:11.480 a great time to make the switch with this special 784 00:44:11.599 --> 00:44:15.119 offer to sound off listeners this year, skip breaking a 785 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:18.400 sweat and breaking the bank.

Now, 793 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:48.039 we had Ricochet backstage with the Gates of Agony, and 794 00:44:48.159 --> 00:44:51.920 they were immediately interrupted by MJF, who said that bald 795 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.119 people and the thought of being bald freak him out. 796 00:44:56.199 --> 00:44:59.559 But he's here to conduct business and he doesn't like Ricochet. 797 00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:01.559 While he he doesn't like Ricochet, the enemy of my 798 00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:04.719 enemy is my friend, and he wanted them to help 799 00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.800 him take out Mark Briscoe. Tonight. Ricochet said that he 800 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.039 would love to see MJF run around like a chicken 801 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:12.440 with his head cut off, but he does admit he 802 00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:14.920 has an issue with Mark Briscoe, and so he accepts 803 00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:19.000 the offer and they shake hands. MJF then boots the 804 00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:23.519 cameraman away. So we're not aware of the details of 805 00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:29.360 this partnership here, of this deal that's been made. We're 806 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.760 kind of in the dark about it. Not for very 807 00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:36.280 long though. After this, we had FTR against Brodie King 808 00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:38.440 and Bendida. This was the finals of the Tag Team 809 00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:41.880 Title Eliminator tournament. The winners of this match would go 810 00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:44.559 on to challenge for the AW World Tag Team titles 811 00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:49.199 this Sunday against Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin who During 812 00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:52.320 the match, they showed the Hurt Syndicate with MVP in 813 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.079 the back watching, so they were paying very close attention 814 00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.199 to this match. Here Harwood and Bendido, they kicked things off, 815 00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:03.000 ended up in a stalemate. Brody King tagged in and 816 00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:06.199 he was frustrating Dax to the point that he went 817 00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:09.840 to ringside and started tossing chairs into the ring. Wheeler 818 00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:13.360 tagged in. He immediately lost a chop battle with Brody King, 819 00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:16.000 which sounds like a very bad idea. Brett Hart somewhere 820 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:20.079 is shaking his head. Harwood tagged back in, he lost 821 00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:24.039 a chop battle himself. Harwood then managed to land a 822 00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.639 pile driver Brody King no sold it got right back up. 823 00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:30.719 He then landed a running sent on on both members 824 00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:34.800 of FTR. Bandido tagged in and he landed a double 825 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:38.480 team splash with an assist from Brody. There's a referee 826 00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:42.039 distraction that led to Stokely Hathaway blasting Brody in the 827 00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.079 head with a pipe that he was concealing inside of 828 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.599 his sling. Dax got on the microphone. He started talking 829 00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:52.880 shit to the crowd and told them to respect Big Stoke. 830 00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:58.760 This gave Brody King an opportunity to get some color 831 00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:01.360 here because when the camera panned back to him, he 832 00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:04.559 was bleeding like a pig. This guy, he was covered 833 00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:08.559 in blood. I mean, he looked like he hid an artery. 834 00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.440 Like they went to commercial and they came back and dude, 835 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:16.679 like he's standing on the apron. He is pouring blood 836 00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:19.719 and it's in his eyes. He's trying to get out 837 00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:24.239 of his eyes. Like he looked like he hit an 838 00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:28.199 artery with whatever he did. But King made a hot 839 00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:31.079 tag to Bandido and he ran wild Code Red got 840 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:34.960 a close near fall on Dax and Bandido sent both 841 00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:40.440 men crashing outside. That led to I should say that 842 00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:42.719 King made the tag to Bandido if I didn't make 843 00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:47.039 that clear, So Bandido is going nuts here for a 844 00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.039 little bit. He tried to do a dive out onto 845 00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:53.119 both members of FTR. They caught him though on the 846 00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:56.320 landing and slammed him face first down on the apron. 847 00:47:56.480 --> 00:48:00.840 Bandido remained isolated while King continued pouring blood on the apron. 848 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:05.559 Harwood wanted a superplex. Bandido chopped free, knocked them down 849 00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:07.360 to the mat, hit a high cross body for a 850 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:10.159 two count that took us into a second commercial break. 851 00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:13.639 And the longer this match goes, I'm thinking, Okay, I 852 00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:17.559 wasn't aware of what the time of it was. I 853 00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.760 kind of assumed it wasn't sixty minutes, But now I'm 854 00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:23.840 starting to think, boy, this is going long here. Who 855 00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:27.480 has a second commercial break? You know? Might they go 856 00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:32.960 the distance? They come back, Bandido hits a double hurt 857 00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:37.920 Knrana and a DDT with Brody finally able to make 858 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:41.000 the tag. It's a big pop, big cannon ball sent 859 00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:43.679 on in the corner that led to Bandido blind tagging 860 00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:47.119 back in. As King took out FTR with a somersault 861 00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:50.519 sent on off the apron, Bandido flew in with a 862 00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:53.440 dive of his own. Harwood was sent back inside his 863 00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:57.880 wheeler got squashed up against the barricade by Brody. So 864 00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:01.719 the referee see stokely and he's trying to trip up Bandido, 865 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:06.079 but he does nothing, just does nothing about it. Bandido 866 00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:08.159 kicks him away and then hits a frog splash on 867 00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:13.719 hardwood for two. Wheeler escapes a power slam attempt by 868 00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:16.840 Brody outside and then sends him into the ring post 869 00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:21.079 hits a tornado DDT off the apron. FTR wanted the 870 00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:24.280 power plex. King, though choked Wheeler off the apron and 871 00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:27.719 Dax hit a back superplex as Wheeler flew in with 872 00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:31.920 a splash for a closed two count, and Brian Danielson 873 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:35.360 is on commentary and he is just losing his mind. 874 00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:40.039 Arcady Aura, she was doing the ring announcing tonight. She 875 00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:43.320 told us twenty five minutes had passed. Five minutes left 876 00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:47.199 in the match, right as King ate a shatter machine, 877 00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:51.320 but FTR missed the blind tag, so Bandido flew in 878 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:53.840 with a victory roll on Cash for a two count. 879 00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:58.760 There was a Wonky La Mahiestral cradle attempt for another 880 00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:03.159 near fall. FTR hit an inverted doomsday device. Bandido, though 881 00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:07.280 kicked out. Brody saved Bandido from a shatter machine. Now 882 00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:11.000 we have two minutes left in this match. Bandido missed 883 00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:15.079 the moon saw, rolled through nearly eight a shatter machine, 884 00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:18.719 but countered into a DDT on Cash, who saved his 885 00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:22.760 partner from taking a twenty one plex after that, so 886 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:26.599 they finally hit the shatter machine. Took them half the match, 887 00:50:26.679 --> 00:50:30.840 but they finally hit the shatter machine. Brody breaks up 888 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:33.760 the pin and the fans are invested in this. You know, 889 00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:36.559 they're hanging out to the near falls. You know again, 890 00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:39.719 Brody's pouring blood here. These guys have gone almost half 891 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:43.280 an hour, so they had the crowd. We get the 892 00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:48.079 one minute time call and this is announced over the 893 00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.760 PA system, and so there's sixty seconds left in this match, 894 00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:56.719 and what does FTR do. Bizarrely, they opt to set 895 00:50:56.840 --> 00:51:04.320 a table up outside the ring, up against the barricade. Okay, 896 00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:08.480 they set a table up outside for reasons that were 897 00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:12.559 not explained, because there's just some things that cannot be explained. 898 00:51:12.599 --> 00:51:16.960 There's no logic to explain something like that. Wheeler was 899 00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:19.400 about to hit a dive out onto Bandido King Those 900 00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:22.679 shoved his partner out of the way and cash Wheeler 901 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:27.039 crashed and burned, went right through the table just as 902 00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:30.559 the time expired, so they ring the bell. The matches over. 903 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:33.039 Bandido still hit the twenty one plex in the ring 904 00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:35.440 on Dax anyway, and then covers him and counts his 905 00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.440 own fall and starts like raising his hand and celebrating, 906 00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:42.480 as you know, as if he like. It don't work 907 00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:46.280 that way, my fraid. Okay, like even in Mexico, it 908 00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:48.639 don't work that way. Me and Migo that those are 909 00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:54.119 not the rules. That doesn't count. So Arcadyara announces the 910 00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:57.519 match as a draw. Everybody booze, and you could see 911 00:51:57.559 --> 00:51:59.679 her like she puts her finger up like to the earpiece, 912 00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:03.119 and five seconds later she says, Oh, I've been informed 913 00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:07.079 he's on the ball. I've been informed by Tony Kahan 914 00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:12.559 that at Forbidden Door it is now official. Both teams 915 00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:15.079 will challenge the Hurt Syndicate in what will now be 916 00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:18.239 a triple threat match, a three way for the aw 917 00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:21.960 World Tag Team titles. And that brings out Bobby Lashley 918 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:24.079 and Shelton Benjamin. They walk out into the aisle, they 919 00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:27.559 hold up their titles, and they pose and that was 920 00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:29.880 the end of that. It was a very good match. 921 00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:32.280 They went the distance, They went the full thirty minutes. 922 00:52:33.320 --> 00:52:36.599 You know, when I did my predictions this weekend and 923 00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:39.960 even last night on Tuesday Night Titans, I floated this 924 00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:45.119 very idea, especially in light of these reports of MVP, 925 00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:50.840 you know, allegedly rejecting creative pitches for the Hurt Syndicate 926 00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:53.960 to drop the tag team titles to FTR at all 927 00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:57.039 In and to drop them to FTR at Forbidden Door. 928 00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:00.760 So yeah, I mean, in light of the those reports, 929 00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:04.320 I wasn't really surprised to see them go this route. 930 00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:07.000 I thought this is what they might do. Also because 931 00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:10.480 if FTR would have won, you would have ended up 932 00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:13.639 with the Hurt Syndicate and FTR at Forbidden Door. And 933 00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:16.079 even if the people are cheering for the Hurt Syndicate, 934 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:22.199 they're not a babyfaced team. They're not. It's two heel teams. 935 00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:26.840 So adding Brody King and Bandito, who are a very 936 00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:29.440 good team, like, I don't mind them adding them to 937 00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:32.400 that match and making it a three way. I think 938 00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:35.480 it's kind of, you know, lazy, that we now have 939 00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.880 back to back pay per views where the tag team 940 00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:40.199 title matches contested in a three way, because they did 941 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:43.880 the exact same thing in Texas, and that whole situation 942 00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:47.400 was very weird because you had FTR literally sitting there 943 00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:49.719 at ringside doing commentary for the match when they should 944 00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:51.679 have been in the fucking match instead of wrestling on 945 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:53.599 the pre show against the Outrunners. It should have been 946 00:53:53.639 --> 00:53:56.639 a four way. Just make it a four way and 947 00:53:56.719 --> 00:53:58.679 put the tag team titles on the line in Texas. 948 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.360 But that's where those reports about certain ideas being vetoed 949 00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:05.599 and rejected, you know, comes into play and makes the 950 00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:08.760 story a little more interesting. But now we have a 951 00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:12.599 three way match, and so the Hertz Syndikit can drop 952 00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:16.480 their titles on Sunday without taking the losing fall. And 953 00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:18.880 I think that's exactly why Brody King and Benditdo were 954 00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:20.519 in that match. And Brody King is the one who's 955 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:23.280 gonna eat the pin I believe on Sunday, because it 956 00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:24.920 would be kind of stupid to pin the Ring of 957 00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:29.280 Honor World champion Brody King. I know he's bigger and 958 00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:33.199 all that, but he's not the Ring of Honor World champion. 959 00:54:33.280 --> 00:54:35.079 So if somebody was gonna get pinned in this match, 960 00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:37.800 it would be him. And that's how I think things 961 00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:40.800 are going to play out on Sunday. But again, Brodido 962 00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:42.119 is a great team. There are a lot of fun 963 00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:44.199 to watch. I don't mind them getting a spot on 964 00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.920 the show, and you know, I think it'll I think 965 00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:49.519 it'll make for an even better match. But I will 966 00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:55.360 say this, like man, if this was done as a 967 00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:59.639 way to Playcate, someone who was all up in their 968 00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:04.320 field about not wanting to lose to FTR, that's said. 969 00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:08.559 I mean that is that is said, and it's not 970 00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:10.760 a good look for Tony Khan. If that's why this 971 00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:13.719 was done. It's not a good look for Tony Khan. 972 00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:19.840 But now the match is set weeks and weeks of 973 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:23.639 a tournament and we never got an actual winner to 974 00:55:23.800 --> 00:55:30.679 this tournament. So after this, the aw World champion Hangman 975 00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.239 Adam Page, who was It seems like ever since he's 976 00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:37.519 won the championship he has been very, very angry. You 977 00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:39.840 would think he would have mellowed a little bit after 978 00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:42.400 winning the title in Texas and getting that big moment, 979 00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:44.559 but he just seems to get angrier by the week. 980 00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:48.159 And he power walked out to the ring. He was 981 00:55:48.199 --> 00:55:50.840 not happy about the way Dynamite ended last week. Dynamite 982 00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:52.760 ended last week in the parking lot with him being 983 00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:56.519 beaten down by MJF. And he brings that up and 984 00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:59.119 he says that's how MJF likes to handle things. He's 985 00:55:59.199 --> 00:56:03.559 very opportunity. If MJF ever had a problem in his life. 986 00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:06.360 He can't look at it head on. He doesn't have 987 00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:09.480 the balls too. It's a waste of everyone's time to 988 00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:11.760 call MJF out to the ring to get the piss 989 00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:15.760 beaten out of him, as he is a gutless coward. 990 00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:20.559 Once MJF signs that Casino Gauntlet contract, though, there will 991 00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:24.440 be no backstabbing, and he swears to God that he 992 00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:30.400 will shove his ostrich leathers up mjf's checkered print ass. 993 00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:38.400 That's right. Mjf's music hits and he's waiting for him 994 00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:41.960 to come out and there's no MJF. Tony Shavani stands 995 00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:45.519 up at ringside and he said that he was told 996 00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:49.559 he's being told that MJF has a message for Hangman 997 00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:52.800 from the back, and he's being told that if Hangman 998 00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:56.599 leaves the ring at any point during this video, I 999 00:56:56.639 --> 00:56:59.119 guess that he's about to play or whatever's about to happen. 1000 00:56:59.159 --> 00:57:01.039 If he tries I used to leave the ring and 1001 00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:06.199 steps outside that ring, something very bad is going to happen. 1002 00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.280 So now we see MJF on the big screen and 1003 00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:14.920 he reminds Seabiscuit that he is most vulnerable when he's angry, 1004 00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:19.320 which is all the time Rikoshet in the Gates of Agony, 1005 00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:22.079 So this circles back to the deal that they made 1006 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:24.119 earlier in the night Rikoshet in the Gates of Agony 1007 00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.840 are shown with Mark Briscoe. Mark Briscoe is tied to 1008 00:57:26.920 --> 00:57:31.119 a chair and he is barely conscious. MJF says that 1009 00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:33.920 Hangman will give him what he wants, and all he 1010 00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:40.079 has is three simple requests. So MJF goes, he lifts 1011 00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:44.199 a can of gas. He pours it all over Mark Briscoe, 1012 00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:47.719 all over his head, and he says that if Hangman 1013 00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:51.480 does not give him what he wants, then Briscoe is 1014 00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:55.480 going to be Kentucky Fried. So MJF says that at 1015 00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:58.840 Forbidden Door, this is what he wants. Request number one 1016 00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:04.400 the title can change hands on a disqualification. Request number two, 1017 00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:09.840 the title can change hands on a count out. And finally, 1018 00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:14.599 since he's basically got this guy by the balls right now, 1019 00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:16.400 he goes, I may as well throw this in there. 1020 00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:18.239 I wasn't planning on this, but I may as well 1021 00:58:18.280 --> 00:58:19.880 throw this in there. You think he got one over 1022 00:58:20.039 --> 00:58:23.199 on me last week by making me agree to put 1023 00:58:23.239 --> 00:58:27.320 my contract up and sign the contract and cash it 1024 00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:30.639 in instead of getting the championship match that he felt 1025 00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:33.639 he earned. You're gonna make me use my contract, but 1026 00:58:33.800 --> 00:58:37.199 here's what we're gonna do. The third request is that 1027 00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:40.159 he doesn't have to use his contract on Sunday, but 1028 00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:44.960 he still gets an aw World Championship match. So Bishop 1029 00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:50.920 Cone con Cone, whatever, the good Bishop. He hands MJF 1030 00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:54.639 a lighter, says that Hangman has untiled the count of five. 1031 00:58:56.039 --> 00:59:01.239 He counts one, two, and Hangman is freaking out in 1032 00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:03.280 the ring. He's telling him to put the lighter because 1033 00:59:03.280 --> 00:59:04.599 he's got a lighter in his hand. He goes put 1034 00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:09.360 the lighter down, put the lighter down, three, four, and 1035 00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:12.960 before he can count to five, Hangman says, okay, I agree, 1036 00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:16.480 you got it. You got it. He gave into exactly 1037 00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:19.519 what he wanted. He gave into all of his demands, 1038 00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:24.760 and MJF says congratulations. Hangman is still a hero, and 1039 00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:29.199 Paige grabs a chair and he charges backstage as they 1040 00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:33.760 go to a commercial break. After the break, we see Hangman. 1041 00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:37.000 He's power walking through the back. He finds Ricochet. He 1042 00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:39.880 cracks him right in the back with that chair and 1043 00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:43.639 he's demanding to know where MJF is so security now 1044 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:49.239 has swarmed around Hangman and they tell him that MJF 1045 00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:52.800 has left the building. So in response to this, Hangman 1046 00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:55.639 punches the one security guy who told him this. He 1047 00:59:55.760 --> 01:00:01.679 punches him in the face because I just because he's 1048 01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:04.199 a hot head, he has a temper. And then at 1049 01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:06.119 that point he storms out of the arena and then 1050 01:00:06.519 --> 01:00:09.679 the Gates of Agony show out. But what happened a 1051 01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:13.719 little late to the party, I would say, nothing like 1052 01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:15.880 a little attempted murder When you can't get what you 1053 01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:18.159 are hoping to get here on this show, it's a 1054 01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:20.559 good strategy. I mean, it worked out here for MJF. 1055 01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:24.000 I would have called his bluff. Might not have ended 1056 01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:28.320 well for Mark Briscoe. But so that is how MJF 1057 01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:32.280 was able to get what he wanted here. I will 1058 01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:36.880 say this, obviously, this is all very silly. Anytime there's 1059 01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:38.920 any kind of attempted murder on a wrestling show, it's 1060 01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:42.960 obviously very ridiculous. But in this case, at least, you know, 1061 01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:44.960 it's like, all right, he had some help from Ricochet 1062 01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:47.639 in the Gates of Agony, and Ricochet lost to Mark 1063 01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:49.960 Briscoe a few weeks ago, and was embarrassed by him, 1064 01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:52.440 so he sort of had an axe to grind. That's 1065 01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:56.039 why he was so quick to agree to this. It's still, 1066 01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:59.000 you know, very silly, but it does make the main 1067 01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:02.920 event more interesting now now that MJF has the ability 1068 01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:07.039 to go in there without the contract, challenge for the title, lose, 1069 01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:10.119 and potentially that same night he could still cashing to 1070 01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:15.519 win that championship. At least the possibility of that makes 1071 01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:19.559 the match a little more unpredictable a little bit, and 1072 01:01:19.639 --> 01:01:23.039 it makes things a little more interesting. I don't see 1073 01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:26.559 MJF winning the title esse yet, even with all the stipulations, 1074 01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:29.320 because now think about it, the deck is stacked against Hangman. 1075 01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:32.400 He could lose the title by pinfall, submission, count out, 1076 01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:37.639 or disqualification, and MJF if he loses, he still has 1077 01:01:37.719 --> 01:01:42.199 that contract as his insurance policy. But I just feel 1078 01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:45.320 like this is only Hangman's second title defense after that 1079 01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:49.239 big moment, that big crowning moment in Texas. It's too 1080 01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:51.920 early to take the title away from him. And there 1081 01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:53.719 are things that you can do in the course of 1082 01:01:53.800 --> 01:01:56.440 this match with MJF. Instead of just beating him straight up. 1083 01:01:57.360 --> 01:02:00.000 There are things you could do to protect him from 1084 01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:04.920 for another title shot or another like a rematch with Hangman, 1085 01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:10.280 And I'm thinking, if not forbidden Door, then win. And 1086 01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:13.159 I was thinking of World's End. You know, World's End 1087 01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:15.039 is the very last pay per view this year. That's 1088 01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:20.039 the December twenty seventh show World's End. God, when was 1089 01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:22.719 it two years ago? Now, World's End was the event 1090 01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:26.519 where MJF lost the aw World title to samo Joe, 1091 01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:29.719 So it would be kind of appropriate. I think if 1092 01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:33.079 at World's End this year and they're in Chicago this year, 1093 01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:36.360 if that was where he you know, cashed in that 1094 01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:40.119 contract and they close out the year with MJF winning 1095 01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:43.280 the championship back at the very event where he last 1096 01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:47.199 held it, and that gives Hangman a few months, you know, 1097 01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:51.559 to have an actual run as champion, give it a 1098 01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:53.960 little bit of length, and then get the belt off 1099 01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:57.199 of him and onto MJF. So I don't know, I mean, 1100 01:02:57.239 --> 01:02:59.920 for all all we know, if he doesn't win this week, 1101 01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:02.360 maybe they're shooting for Toronto at all out, But I 1102 01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:04.840 just I was thinking about World's End and thinking, okay, 1103 01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:08.440 that would give Hangman, you know, four months, four or 1104 01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:11.559 five months. MJF is going to win that title. I 1105 01:03:11.599 --> 01:03:14.960 think when MJF cashes in that contract, he's winning the championship, 1106 01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:19.239 because I think Athena is not. And I think one 1107 01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:22.239 of them at least has to successfully cash in that contract. 1108 01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:24.519 I think it'll be him. I don't think it's going 1109 01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:28.079 to be on Sunday, though, And so how do they 1110 01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:30.079 do the finish well? I mean there's any number of ways. 1111 01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:33.800 I mean, he tried to burn Mark Briscoe alive. I 1112 01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:35.639 would say there's still a pretty good chance that Mark 1113 01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:38.920 Briscoe shows up and maybe stops him from doing something 1114 01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:42.360 the farious I mentioned. He goes to use the dynamite 1115 01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:44.519 diamond ring. It could be as simple as that, and 1116 01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:46.920 Mark Briscoe shows up and stops him from doing so. 1117 01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:51.360 Adding the disqualification stipulation again, that's a little wrinkle. It 1118 01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.920 makes things a little more interesting. But like when you 1119 01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:58.239 have a stipulation like that and you have somebody like MJF, 1120 01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:00.679 I go back to what I said earlier, like why 1121 01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:04.199 wouldn't he just pay off someone to come out and 1122 01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:07.000 just punch him in the face, like thirty seconds into 1123 01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:10.559 the match, you know what I mean? Like, and maybe 1124 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:13.960 during the course of the match, maybe they will play 1125 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:16.559 out something like that, but before the person can actually 1126 01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:20.360 hit him, you know, hangman stops him. It just seems 1127 01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:21.880 like the sort of thing that you would you would 1128 01:04:21.880 --> 01:04:25.320 think he would do. But I don't know. I mean, 1129 01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:29.119 are they going to reveal that he never really was 1130 01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:31.840 kicked out of the Hurt Syndicate and the Hurt Syndicate 1131 01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:35.159 helps him win, or is somebody else going to show up? 1132 01:04:35.559 --> 01:04:38.679 Is you know, I don't know. I don't know. There's 1133 01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:44.760 any number of possibilities here, but I am fairly certain 1134 01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:47.800 that he's not going to leave London with that championship. 1135 01:04:51.039 --> 01:04:54.679 The main event of the show was Mercedes Monet and 1136 01:04:54.840 --> 01:05:00.760 Athena as tag team partners against Timeless Tony Storm and 1137 01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:09.599 Alex Windsor. I love that name, Missus brev Alex Windsor. 1138 01:05:11.199 --> 01:05:14.599 We had the CMLL representative in the four way match 1139 01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:16.440 for the TBS title on Sunday. She was in the 1140 01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:21.000 front row. Persephone. She was there and they announced that 1141 01:05:21.840 --> 01:05:27.119 Bozilla will be representing Stardom in the TVs title four 1142 01:05:27.199 --> 01:05:29.960 way on Sunday. Someone who was I don't believe ever 1143 01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:33.599 appeared for aw. She's still very young. I think she's 1144 01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:37.880 twenty one years old and still very new to stardom. 1145 01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:39.800 I want to say that she only first wrestled there 1146 01:05:39.840 --> 01:05:42.840 in June, I think, And so again it was like 1147 01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:45.679 we waited, and who's going to be the representative and 1148 01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:48.079 then they just sort of dumped it on us and 1149 01:05:48.199 --> 01:05:52.880 it's like, okay, plug her in there. I guess it's 1150 01:05:53.079 --> 01:05:57.719 just all right, Bozilla it is, I guess. So Money 1151 01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:00.519 and Windsor they started the match. Mercedes walked into a 1152 01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:06.400 fallaway slam, and Windsor tagged in Tony's Storm. Mercedes was 1153 01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:09.039 thrown off of her game because Tony was playing some 1154 01:06:09.159 --> 01:06:13.079 head game. She was playing some doing some lesbian teases 1155 01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:16.159 here as she is wont to do in some of 1156 01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:18.480 her matches, and this freaked out Mercedes, and so she 1157 01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:21.920 tagged out to Athena. Storm and Athena they traded offense 1158 01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:24.079 for a little bit. Tony got the better of it 1159 01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:27.280 with a backbreaker. All four women ended up in the ring, 1160 01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:29.440 and Storm and Windsor they took control with a pair 1161 01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:33.280 of headbutts Mercedes and Tony. They avoided stereo hip attacks, 1162 01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:36.440 but she and Athena couldn't agree on a game plan, 1163 01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:40.480 and Athena is yelling at Mercedes and demanding like, come on, 1164 01:06:40.599 --> 01:06:45.000 get it together here, So she has Mercedes go to 1165 01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.559 the ropes and pull up on the middle rope to 1166 01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:51.000 create an opening between the middle rope and the bottom rope. 1167 01:06:51.360 --> 01:06:54.199 Athena comes off the ropes and she does a low 1168 01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:58.840 dive through the ropes out to the floor onto Windsor, 1169 01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:02.800 and in doing so, this was the sick bump of 1170 01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:07.360 the night. Actually both the big bumps of the night 1171 01:07:07.440 --> 01:07:09.920 came in this match. But she flew out of the 1172 01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:13.079 ring and men when she hit Windsor, she also smacked 1173 01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:16.280 her own head. I mean like a lawn dart. She 1174 01:07:16.519 --> 01:07:19.599 like lawn darted herself right into the announced desk. It 1175 01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:24.880 made a thud. It looked awful for her, it looked awful. 1176 01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:28.760 And Mercedes is sitting on the apron right sitting there 1177 01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:33.880 doing her dance, completely unbothered by the fact that her 1178 01:07:33.960 --> 01:07:37.519 tag team partner just brained herself right in front of her. 1179 01:07:37.880 --> 01:07:40.360 And also she's not paying attention because here comes Tony 1180 01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:43.199 Storm off the ropes with a running hip attack, and 1181 01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:47.119 with her hips she knocks Mercedes off the apron to 1182 01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:50.960 the floor. Storm tried a DDT off the apron on Athena, 1183 01:07:51.039 --> 01:07:55.039 who just slammed Tony down violently. Windsor was able to 1184 01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:57.960 hit a running sentan off the apron onto Athena and Monette, 1185 01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:00.920 and all four women were down. As they went to 1186 01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:04.599 the final commercial break, Windsor was worked over during the 1187 01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:08.719 entire commercial. Things came back with her ducking a forearm 1188 01:08:08.800 --> 01:08:14.000 by Athena, which connected with Mercedes by accident. This allowed 1189 01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:19.479 Storm to come on in with the Mongolian shops. Thees 1190 01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:23.600 Press took out Athena, Monet and Athena. They regained their composure. 1191 01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:27.199 They started making some frequent tags. Tony, though, avoided a 1192 01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:29.960 running Meteora in the corner and then delivered a DDT 1193 01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:33.079 to Athena and crawled towards her corner. Windsor tagged in 1194 01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:36.920 delivered to sit out power bomb on Mercedes. Athena broke 1195 01:08:37.039 --> 01:08:39.840 up the fall Tony and Athena. They brawled outside and 1196 01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:45.960 Athena delivered a storm zero on the ring steps to 1197 01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:48.479 Tony's storm. This was the other big bump of the match, 1198 01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:52.840 fucking pile driver on the ring steps and it looked 1199 01:08:52.840 --> 01:08:58.439 brutal and Athena starts cackling. Mercedes attempted a cross face 1200 01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:01.439 inside the ring Windsor though power out and delivered a 1201 01:09:01.520 --> 01:09:05.720 samoan drop. Windsor then applied a sharpshooter. Mercedes tapped out, 1202 01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:08.800 but Aubrey Edwards tells Windsor she's not the legal woman. 1203 01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:12.680 It doesn't count. Now. The referee has just told you 1204 01:09:12.840 --> 01:09:16.520 that this woman is not legal. And of course Windsor 1205 01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:18.760 just keeps arguing the point like an idiot, like a 1206 01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:22.159 dumb babyface. And so while she's arguing this, and she's 1207 01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:24.439 got her back turned and she doesn't see, and we 1208 01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:27.640 don't see because it's off camera that Athena is on 1209 01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:30.479 the top rope in position and she comes flying off 1210 01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:34.399 with a flying o face and she drops Alex Windsor 1211 01:09:35.039 --> 01:09:40.319 and covers her for the wind for the Windsor. There 1212 01:09:40.319 --> 01:09:44.119 you go. See she got the Windsor here in this match. 1213 01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:47.319 Yes she did. Look, I try my best here on 1214 01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:52.640 Wednesdays to entertain myself. That's all I can do. After 1215 01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:56.239 the match of Mercedes and Prosephone, they were barking back 1216 01:09:56.279 --> 01:09:58.960 at one another outside the ring. Tony is outside, she's 1217 01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:01.920 clutching her neck from the pile driver on the steps, 1218 01:10:02.840 --> 01:10:05.520 and Athena is celebrating in That is how Dynamite went 1219 01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:07.840 off the air, so we had a solid main event. 1220 01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:10.359 Here looks like they're going to play up the injury. 1221 01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:15.119 It looks like the story of Forbidden Door in multiple 1222 01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.560 matches is going to be playing up various injuries. I 1223 01:10:18.600 --> 01:10:20.720 don't know what this says about the AW roster that 1224 01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:24.359 everybody is always hurt, but right they're playing up a 1225 01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:27.920 knee injury potentially in the Swerve match with Okada. Now 1226 01:10:27.960 --> 01:10:29.560 that looks like they're going to play up potentially a 1227 01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:32.840 neck injury with Tony Storm. In the match with Athena. 1228 01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:37.560 Will Osprey has two herniated discs in his neck and 1229 01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:40.800 they're absolutely playing that up going into the lights out 1230 01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:45.399 Cage match. My missing any other ones, any other injuries 1231 01:10:46.439 --> 01:10:50.199 going into these matches this weekend, So that's gonna be 1232 01:10:50.239 --> 01:10:56.520 the story there. It looks like I would love it 1233 01:10:56.720 --> 01:10:59.960 if Athena walked out with the women's championship and Tony 1234 01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:03.079 had a chase to get it back. I don't think 1235 01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:05.600 it's going to happen, and I don't think it's gonna 1236 01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:09.199 happen for multiple reasons, and tonight just solidified it. I mean, 1237 01:11:09.399 --> 01:11:11.479 you know, seeing Athena stan tall and get the big 1238 01:11:11.560 --> 01:11:14.520 win there at the end. But honestly, she is the 1239 01:11:14.640 --> 01:11:17.119 Ring of Honor Women's World Champion. I have no idea 1240 01:11:17.199 --> 01:11:19.720 why she is still after all this time, almost a 1241 01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:22.359 thousand days now, why she has to still be the 1242 01:11:22.479 --> 01:11:25.600 Ring of Honor Women's World Champion, But she is. And 1243 01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:28.279 it better not be a situation where she just loses 1244 01:11:28.359 --> 01:11:32.000 on Sunday and goes right back to Rohl. That better 1245 01:11:32.119 --> 01:11:35.920 not fucking happen. But because she's the Ring of Honor 1246 01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:41.399 Women's World Champion, I don't see there being room for 1247 01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:46.760 more than one belt collector in this division, right, we 1248 01:11:46.960 --> 01:11:49.920 have one belt collector already. It's kind of her thing. 1249 01:11:51.119 --> 01:11:53.439 I don't see them putting a second title on Athena 1250 01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:56.079 and having two world titles. I just don't see it. 1251 01:11:57.000 --> 01:11:59.359 Should be a great match. I'm looking forward to the match, 1252 01:11:59.560 --> 01:12:04.119 but she's going to cash in her her Gauntlet match contract. 1253 01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:07.079 I think she's gonna lose, and I just hope that 1254 01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:09.640 that's not the end of Athena on Dynamite. I hope 1255 01:12:09.680 --> 01:12:12.600 this isn't just like Okay, she had her shot, she 1256 01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:16.079 lost back to Ring of Honor with you, right, that 1257 01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:19.680 would be very stupid. Then I look at this TBS 1258 01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:25.199 title match here, and the problem is outside of Alex Windsor, right. 1259 01:12:26.960 --> 01:12:29.079 And this is to say nothing of what the quality 1260 01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:30.920 of the match might end up being. But you look 1261 01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:33.439 at this field, Alex Windsor at least they've been giving 1262 01:12:33.479 --> 01:12:35.960 her TV time. They've been trying to push her. She's 1263 01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:39.319 still new to the roster, but they've been trying with her. 1264 01:12:41.159 --> 01:12:47.119 They've done absolutely nothing to spotlight the other two challengers 1265 01:12:47.159 --> 01:12:51.720 in that match, Like Persephone, she's been around like I'm 1266 01:12:51.760 --> 01:12:55.319 aware of who she is, and I'm I'm almost positive 1267 01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:58.880 that she's wrestled before in aw I don't remember now, 1268 01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:03.600 But you know what did we see of her in 1269 01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:05.600 the build up to this? She was in the front 1270 01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:10.760 Road tonight. That's it. We were told that Persephone will 1271 01:13:10.760 --> 01:13:15.039 be representing CMLL and what we got here in the 1272 01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:18.279 build up to this four way match was hurt yelling 1273 01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:23.199 at Mercedes from the front Road tonight with Bozilla. It's 1274 01:13:23.239 --> 01:13:28.159 even worse. We've never seen her before and they have 1275 01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:31.199 not mentioned her one time because we didn't even find 1276 01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:35.520 out she's in the fucking match until tonight via graphic 1277 01:13:36.159 --> 01:13:40.760 how they announced a lot of stuff and it's like okay, 1278 01:13:41.720 --> 01:13:45.319 and they mentioned the fact that you know, she's second generation, 1279 01:13:46.960 --> 01:13:49.039 which I wasn't sure. I had to look it up. 1280 01:13:49.119 --> 01:13:54.880 Like second generation. Her father was ulf Herman, who you 1281 01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:58.399 may recall the original ACW in the late nineties. He 1282 01:13:58.479 --> 01:14:00.520 was part of the full Blooded Italians for a while. 1283 01:14:00.960 --> 01:14:04.960 So that was her dad. And that's it. Second generation 1284 01:14:05.079 --> 01:14:08.239 stardum talent Bozilla. She's going to be in the four 1285 01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:12.119 way on Sunday for the TBS Championship. And it's like, 1286 01:14:12.399 --> 01:14:15.640 I see persephones in there, and it's like, who cares 1287 01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:18.920 Bozilla is going to be in the match? Who gives 1288 01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:24.880 a shit? Does anybody in the world honestly believe that 1289 01:14:25.119 --> 01:14:28.600 either one of those women have a prayer of actually 1290 01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:32.279 winning the TBS Championship. No, and even if they did, 1291 01:14:33.319 --> 01:14:35.800 even if they were bigger names and people said, wow, 1292 01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:38.640 that's a big name, Like, they haven't given you a 1293 01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:42.800 reason to care. They have not done anything to build 1294 01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:46.399 up these other two challengers. But it's forbidden doors, so 1295 01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:50.800 we have to have people in the match representing other promotions, 1296 01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:52.399 and so we'll just sort of toss them in there, 1297 01:14:52.439 --> 01:14:56.760 and it's just such it's just such a very lazy, 1298 01:14:57.880 --> 01:15:01.359 lame on event. Fl wait to build up a match 1299 01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:04.960 for what is supposed to be your second biggest championship 1300 01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:09.319 in that division. So I can't bring myself to get 1301 01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:12.359 excited for a match like that. It's just it's slapped 1302 01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:14.760 together and it's not going to be anything but a 1303 01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:19.560 win for Mercedes because now they're close. Right now, they're close. 1304 01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:22.800 They're two months away, less than two months away. All 1305 01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:25.319 they got to do is hold out until October tenth, 1306 01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:29.079 and Mercedes is going to surpass Jade Cargill as the 1307 01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:32.800 longest reigning TBS champion in the history of AW. They 1308 01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:36.159 have not made it this far and not taken the 1309 01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:38.760 title off of her to have her drop it here 1310 01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:42.239 to Alex windsor at this point, you may as well 1311 01:15:42.239 --> 01:15:44.800 go all the way with it. Let her break the record. 1312 01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:47.720 Let her break the record, and then after that, once 1313 01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:50.399 they got that out of their system, let her drop 1314 01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:54.159 it to someone on the AW roster that they actually 1315 01:15:54.199 --> 01:15:56.399 would like to try to elevate and push to that 1316 01:15:56.520 --> 01:15:58.680 next level. You know, they've waited so long that at 1317 01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:00.840 this point they may well end up coming back around 1318 01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:03.920 later this year or beginning of next year to fucking 1319 01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:08.159 Harley Cameron and end up having her beat Mercedes to 1320 01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:11.520 win the championship. They did that little story with them 1321 01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:13.039 at the beginning of the year, and it's like, well, 1322 01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:16.680 she you know, it's too soon, right, it's too soon 1323 01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:19.600 for Harley. Now is not really the time. But if 1324 01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:22.279 by chance Mercedes is still the champion, you know, the 1325 01:16:22.399 --> 01:16:24.000 end of the year, and she won't be. But if 1326 01:16:24.039 --> 01:16:27.680 she is, well, here we are, and yeah it looks 1327 01:16:27.760 --> 01:16:31.199 like she will be. But at this point you may 1328 01:16:31.239 --> 01:16:35.079 as well just wait, let her break the record. Yeah, 1329 01:16:35.119 --> 01:16:38.279 but this match here, it's like, okay for Stephanie and 1330 01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:44.000 Bozilla and who gives a shit. But that's the issue 1331 01:16:44.039 --> 01:16:46.640 with some of these forbidden door matches. It's just the 1332 01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:50.520 lackluster build, including the unified title match. I'll throw that 1333 01:16:50.600 --> 01:16:52.399 one in there too, and that's not even a forbidden 1334 01:16:52.439 --> 01:16:55.279 door match, that's an aw match. But the build up 1335 01:16:55.279 --> 01:16:58.159 to this Ocata Swarb Strickland match has been very like dull. 1336 01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:02.359 It's been very, very very dull. They haven't even really 1337 01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:05.159 been featured all that often on TV. Swerve has really 1338 01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:08.399 and maybe he is legitimately hurt, but like Swerve has 1339 01:17:08.479 --> 01:17:13.079 really been phased down in these last several weeks. The thing, though, 1340 01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:16.439 is that these matches on paper, they should all deliver. 1341 01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:19.800 Like I'm not really worried about the quality of the match, 1342 01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:22.199 you know, once the bell rings, I just wish I 1343 01:17:22.319 --> 01:17:24.319 had more of a reason to actually get excited for 1344 01:17:24.399 --> 01:17:26.840 these matches. And this is what Tony Kahn typically relies on, 1345 01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:30.600 you know, even when the booking is not great and 1346 01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:33.119 it gives me a headache. You rely on the talent 1347 01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:34.680 to go out there and do what they do best, 1348 01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:37.479 you know, you rely on them to go out there 1349 01:17:37.520 --> 01:17:39.960 and have kick ass matches on these pay per views, 1350 01:17:40.479 --> 01:17:42.279 which is why these pay per views in terms of 1351 01:17:42.399 --> 01:17:44.920 like the in ring quality of what we see on 1352 01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:50.600 them are top notch. So I'm not really worried about that, 1353 01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:53.600 but I just I wish there was more to it 1354 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:58.039 than just that. And in so many of these matches 1355 01:17:58.760 --> 01:18:02.199 for the TNT title match there too, there's just nothing 1356 01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:06.800 there but forbidden door card. Let's go through this real quick. 1357 01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:10.800 This is now the current probably not final. They did 1358 01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:14.680 not mention any of the zero hour pre show matches, 1359 01:18:14.760 --> 01:18:17.319 but this is the card as it stands. I'll throw 1360 01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:21.479 my predictions in here as we go along. Kyle Fletcher, 1361 01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:26.640 He's going to defend the TNT Championship against Hiromu Takahashi 1362 01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:31.039 from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Kyle Fletcher, He's going to 1363 01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:36.560 retain the TNT Championship. Nigel McGinnis. He won a four 1364 01:18:36.600 --> 01:18:40.359 way match John Collision last week to earn the right 1365 01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:45.039 to challenge Zach Saber Junior for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. 1366 01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:49.680 And after the four way victory, he asked Daniel Garcia 1367 01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:52.039 to be in his corner, and Daniel Garcia, who was 1368 01:18:52.119 --> 01:18:54.880 very frustrated that he did not win that match, agreed. 1369 01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:59.319 And I suspect that Daniel Garcia may be going heal 1370 01:18:59.399 --> 01:19:01.880 soon and he may play a role in Nigel's downfall 1371 01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:06.279 here in this match. But Zach Saber Junior gonna walk 1372 01:19:06.359 --> 01:19:09.439 in as the champion. Zach Saber Junior gonna walk out 1373 01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:14.279 as the champion. Mercedes Monette defends her TBS Championship against 1374 01:19:14.319 --> 01:19:19.520 Alex Windsor, Persephonie and Bozilla. I mean, do I even 1375 01:19:19.560 --> 01:19:24.319 need to repeat myself? Mercedes Mercedes Monette, who it looks 1376 01:19:24.479 --> 01:19:27.079 like is on the verge very soon of winning her 1377 01:19:27.319 --> 01:19:33.000 ninth title, she is going after another championship in Rev 1378 01:19:33.119 --> 01:19:37.119 Pro very soon. It's actually title for title and it 1379 01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:38.840 is a very good chance she's gonna end up with 1380 01:19:39.479 --> 01:19:43.119 nine belts when that match is over. She ain't losing 1381 01:19:43.199 --> 01:19:45.880 this one though, I'll tell you that much. Adam Copeland 1382 01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:48.960 and Christian Cage. They reuniting to take on kill Switch 1383 01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:53.239 in Kip Sabian. You know what, it's not a four 1384 01:19:53.319 --> 01:19:55.680 gun conclusion that Copeland and Christian win this match, but 1385 01:19:55.760 --> 01:19:57.399 I feel like they have to. It would be silly 1386 01:19:57.479 --> 01:20:00.119 for them not to, especially if the idea is for 1387 01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:03.039 them to challenge for the titles in Toronto. You can't 1388 01:20:03.079 --> 01:20:05.399 have them lose and then give them a tag team 1389 01:20:05.479 --> 01:20:08.800 championship match. So Copeland and Christian first match back in 1390 01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:12.199 a very long time, first match ever together in aw 1391 01:20:13.439 --> 01:20:16.399 I know, kill Switch just came back, but that's why 1392 01:20:16.479 --> 01:20:19.800 Kip Sabian's in there. Kip Sabien can lose the match 1393 01:20:19.840 --> 01:20:23.439 and then get killed by kill Switch. Copeland and Christian win. 1394 01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:28.960 In his first defense of the Unified Championship, Kauzuchka Okada 1395 01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:31.840 will defend the title against Swerve Strickland. I don't know 1396 01:20:32.279 --> 01:20:35.760 what the status is of this supposed knee injury, if 1397 01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:39.399 it's all storylined, if he is actually hurt, maybe that's 1398 01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:41.239 why we haven't seen too much of him on TV 1399 01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:44.520 in the last few weeks, but that injury is an 1400 01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:48.319 out for them for Swerve when he loses to Okada, 1401 01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:52.039 which he will. I would not even think about taking 1402 01:20:52.079 --> 01:20:54.760 the championship off of Okada until you play out this 1403 01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:58.720 match at some point between him and Takeshta, who just 1404 01:20:58.760 --> 01:21:01.800 won the g one. By the way, he may be 1405 01:21:01.880 --> 01:21:07.199 the IWGP champion very very soon, depending on what happens there. 1406 01:21:07.720 --> 01:21:10.399 That will sort of I think dictate the timing of 1407 01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:13.239 the Takeshta Ocada stuff. Maybe they put it off until 1408 01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:17.279 early next year, but when he drops that championship, I 1409 01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:20.960 think it should be to Takeshta, not the Swerve. Swerve 1410 01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:24.439 doesn't need it. The Hurt Syndicate, Bobby Lashley and Shelton 1411 01:21:24.479 --> 01:21:27.079 Benjamin defend the aw World Tag Team titles in a 1412 01:21:27.239 --> 01:21:32.720 triple threat match against FTR and Brodido. This is where 1413 01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:36.520 FTR wins the tag team titles and then they can 1414 01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:39.760 go on to defend against Cope and Christian. This is 1415 01:21:40.439 --> 01:21:44.359 textbook stuff here. Regardless of who may or may not 1416 01:21:44.600 --> 01:21:47.880 like the idea too bad, it's the idea that makes 1417 01:21:47.960 --> 01:21:50.800 the most sense. It's the idea that Tony Cohn should 1418 01:21:50.800 --> 01:21:54.520 go with FTR leaves London as your new AW World 1419 01:21:54.560 --> 01:21:58.479 Tag Team Champions Timeless. Tony Storm defends the AW Women's 1420 01:21:58.520 --> 01:22:02.760 World Championship against Athena. Oh How. I would love for 1421 01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:05.359 Athena to get the win here, but it ain't gonna happen. 1422 01:22:06.199 --> 01:22:10.880 She's cashing in that contract. She's losing. Tony Storm is 1423 01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:18.159 going to retain the AW Women's World title. The Moldy 1424 01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:24.920 Cheeseburger has made a prediction here. Mercedes Monett gets impregnated 1425 01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:29.119 by Mantar Junior, but refuses to vacate her one hundred 1426 01:22:29.159 --> 01:22:37.279 and fifty belts. Mantar Junior, imagine my shock when I 1427 01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:40.680 was watching Triple Mania and I saw tourists come out, 1428 01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:45.760 and I said, am I seeing things here? This looks 1429 01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:48.720 it awful, lot like someone else that I see, but 1430 01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:53.079 I know he doesn't work for this company. Then we 1431 01:22:53.159 --> 01:22:57.279 have the ten men five on five lights out unsanctioned 1432 01:22:57.680 --> 01:23:05.039 steel cage match will Spray Darby Allen Hiroshi, Tanahashi, Kenny 1433 01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:10.119 Omega and Kota Ibushi taking on John Moxley, Claudio Castig, Nooli, 1434 01:23:10.239 --> 01:23:16.279 Gabe Kid, who himself is barely recovered from a meniscus 1435 01:23:16.319 --> 01:23:20.880 tear in his knee and the Young Bucks. This will 1436 01:23:20.920 --> 01:23:25.000 be tana Hashi's last ever match in the UK. I 1437 01:23:25.399 --> 01:23:28.000 was going with the baby Faces and my original predictions, 1438 01:23:28.039 --> 01:23:29.880 I was going with Team Osprey for the win. I 1439 01:23:29.920 --> 01:23:33.000 am changing my prediction and I believe the Heels are 1440 01:23:33.039 --> 01:23:35.239 going to go over. I think Osprey's gonna you know, 1441 01:23:35.399 --> 01:23:38.880 he's gonna give it his all and pour his heart 1442 01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:42.960 out here and do something wild and crazy, and maybe 1443 01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:46.319 Tanahashi will maybe Tanahashi will try a high fly flow 1444 01:23:46.479 --> 01:23:48.560 from the top of the cage. Can you imagine. I 1445 01:23:48.600 --> 01:23:50.359 don't know that this cage is gonna be very big. 1446 01:23:51.800 --> 01:23:54.680 I mentioned this on TNT last night that the Ring 1447 01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:58.079 of Honor YouTube channel they uploaded recently a match from 1448 01:23:58.159 --> 01:24:02.319 two thousand and six which was Team CZW against Team 1449 01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:05.560 Ring of Honor, and it was contested inside of a 1450 01:24:05.720 --> 01:24:11.000 very unique cage that was very low, but it went around. 1451 01:24:11.039 --> 01:24:14.399 It was almos It's almost like it was like baby proof, 1452 01:24:14.600 --> 01:24:16.560 where you put like a gate up for a baby 1453 01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:19.640 or like a dog or a cat. So it wasn't 1454 01:24:19.720 --> 01:24:22.960 very tall, but it enveloped the entire ringside area, not 1455 01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:24.920 just the ring, and I suspect that's the kind of 1456 01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:27.439 cage that they'll be using here, So there may not 1457 01:24:27.560 --> 01:24:30.359 be a tall cage for anybody to jump off of, 1458 01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:32.600 but someone's gonna do something nuts in this match, and 1459 01:24:32.680 --> 01:24:35.520 I think it's gonna blow up in the baby faces faces. 1460 01:24:36.560 --> 01:24:38.680 And I do think that you know they're gonna do 1461 01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:41.439 Darby and Moxley one on one, probably it all out, 1462 01:24:42.119 --> 01:24:44.239 Probably makes more sense for the Heels to go over here, 1463 01:24:45.439 --> 01:24:47.640 So I'm going with the Heels. I'm going with team Moxley, 1464 01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:52.720 team Bucks for the win. And then Hangman Adam Page 1465 01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:55.760 against MJF in what I assume is going to be 1466 01:24:55.800 --> 01:25:00.359 the main event for the AW World Championship. Things got 1467 01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:02.399 a little more interesting here now that we know that 1468 01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:05.560 the contract is not being cashed in, it is not 1469 01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:08.479 being invoked for this match, which means he will still 1470 01:25:08.560 --> 01:25:12.039 have that contract. Title can change hands a number of 1471 01:25:12.119 --> 01:25:16.640 different ways here. I am expecting a Mark Briscoe cameo. 1472 01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:21.279 Is Mark Briscoe going to try to help Hangman and 1473 01:25:21.359 --> 01:25:24.479 it ends up costing Hangman because of the disqualification stip 1474 01:25:25.399 --> 01:25:29.039 and that's how MJF wins the championship. I don't think so. 1475 01:25:29.760 --> 01:25:32.239 I think Hangman's retaining just a matter of how do 1476 01:25:32.279 --> 01:25:33.720 they do it, how do they do it in a 1477 01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:40.119 way that protects MJF for an eventual championship match when 1478 01:25:40.159 --> 01:25:44.520 he ultimately does cash in. I think Hangman is leaving 1479 01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:46.560 London with the title. I think you want to give 1480 01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:48.199 him a little more time with it. I know some 1481 01:25:48.319 --> 01:25:50.079 people might look at it and go, man, just shake 1482 01:25:50.159 --> 01:25:53.880 things up. Put the belt on MJF. Right, I wouldn't 1483 01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:55.680 hate it if they put the belt on MJF. He's 1484 01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:59.159 going to get it anyway, whether it's August, whether it's 1485 01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:02.640 all out, whether its world's end. And I don't mind that. 1486 01:26:03.159 --> 01:26:05.479 I just think that this needs to go on for 1487 01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:07.399 a little bit longer. You got to play this thing 1488 01:26:07.479 --> 01:26:10.239 out a little bit more. But there's a lot of 1489 01:26:10.319 --> 01:26:12.960 variables to play here. Does the Hurt Syndicate get involved, 1490 01:26:13.199 --> 01:26:15.640 Does Mark Briscoe get involved? If somebody we're not thinking 1491 01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:19.720 of get involved. They've they've opened it up now to 1492 01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:26.520 a number of different possibilities. I think Hangman rotains finally. 1493 01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:29.399 I remember who wants to be a millionaire? Final answer? 1494 01:26:29.960 --> 01:26:34.239 It's my final answer, and I remember it starts at 1495 01:26:34.239 --> 01:26:38.279 one o'clock Eastern time. I will probably go live around 1496 01:26:38.359 --> 01:26:42.399 eight o'clock Eastern time, so when the show ends, you know, 1497 01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:45.600 a little couple of hours go by, get myself situated, 1498 01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:49.039 and then we'll go live. So that'll be on Sunday. 1499 01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:50.680 It means that I'm going to have to try to 1500 01:26:50.680 --> 01:26:53.720 get the podcast up a day early, so episode nine 1501 01:26:53.800 --> 01:26:57.560 twenty six, my goal would be by Saturday night, if 1502 01:26:57.640 --> 01:26:59.560 not earlier, to get that show off. So there will 1503 01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:01.439 be a pot but it's probably going to go out 1504 01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:03.239 a day early, so just be aware of it. And 1505 01:27:03.319 --> 01:27:05.159 it'll be the same thing the following weekend because we 1506 01:27:05.199 --> 01:27:07.560 have clash in Paris, so we got we got back 1507 01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:11.439 to back weekends of this, so just be aware of that. Now. 1508 01:27:11.600 --> 01:27:15.119 The Twitter poll a little bit different tonight. I mentioned 1509 01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:17.600 the live poll in the chat. I will check that first. 1510 01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:20.640 I have a poll going in the chat asking you 1511 01:27:20.800 --> 01:27:23.520 what will you be watching live on September twentieth. Will 1512 01:27:23.560 --> 01:27:26.680 you be watching WWE Wressell Palooza or will you be 1513 01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:32.439 watching aw Aall Out. In the YouTube poll, sixty percent 1514 01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:36.680 said they will be watching all Out. Forty percent will 1515 01:27:36.720 --> 01:27:40.840 be watching Wressell Palooza. Let's see how that compares to 1516 01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:46.800 the Twitter poll. On Twitter Wressell Palooza fifty seven point 1517 01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:52.319 three percent, aw all out forty two point seven percent, 1518 01:27:53.840 --> 01:27:56.520 So we have the inverse although we have a lot 1519 01:27:56.560 --> 01:27:59.479 more votes in the x poll. We have well over 1520 01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:02.279 six hundred votes in the YouTube poll. We have over 1521 01:28:02.399 --> 01:28:06.880 twenty six hundred votes in the Twitter poll, and Wressell 1522 01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:10.199 Palooza is in the lead by not by a landslide 1523 01:28:10.279 --> 01:28:12.439 or anything, but you know, fifty seven to forty two 1524 01:28:12.680 --> 01:28:17.760 is a sizeable lead there for the WWE show. And 1525 01:28:17.880 --> 01:28:21.079 I will tell you I'm not making my final decision yet. 1526 01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:25.560 I'm leaning towards Wressell Palooza because i have to just 1527 01:28:25.760 --> 01:28:28.039 you know, if I'm covering it live on the channel, 1528 01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:30.279 i have to look at it from the perspective of 1529 01:28:31.039 --> 01:28:33.479 what do people want to see that night. Maybe I'll 1530 01:28:33.479 --> 01:28:38.680 take a poll, but that stream is going to is 1531 01:28:38.760 --> 01:28:41.319 going to have more traffic and do better numbers than 1532 01:28:41.359 --> 01:28:44.720 the aw one will most likely. So I'll make my 1533 01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:47.560 final decision as we get closer. But you know, even 1534 01:28:47.640 --> 01:28:50.119 in my case, I can't. I'm not watching both of 1535 01:28:50.159 --> 01:28:53.199 them live at the same time, and I've got to 1536 01:28:53.239 --> 01:28:55.600 make a choice one or the other. Which one is 1537 01:28:55.680 --> 01:28:57.840 going to play better, you know, here on the channel. 1538 01:28:57.840 --> 01:28:59.520 Which one is going to be the one that people 1539 01:28:59.600 --> 01:29:02.680 are going to be more interested in? And I feel 1540 01:29:02.760 --> 01:29:06.079 like that is going to be Wrestle Palooza, especially even 1541 01:29:06.159 --> 01:29:08.039 beyond the scene and Brock stuff. If they're going to 1542 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:10.600 do Cody and Drew possibly for the championship and we'll 1543 01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:12.239 see what are the matches they add to the show, 1544 01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:15.279 the interest level in that show is going to be 1545 01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:19.479 very high. And that's the first ESPN show. So even 1546 01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:21.439 in my case, you know, again, they're they're kind of 1547 01:29:21.479 --> 01:29:25.359 fucking with my original plans here, but right now I'm 1548 01:29:25.399 --> 01:29:29.119 leaning in the Wrestle Polloza direction and then catching up 1549 01:29:29.159 --> 01:29:32.279 after the fact with All Out. But we'll figure it out. 1550 01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:38.720 We got time. Today's episode is sponsored by Factor. I 1551 01:29:38.840 --> 01:29:42.039 was out with friends recently on a beautiful summer day, 1552 01:29:42.039 --> 01:29:44.279 and I had to be home for what else a 1553 01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:46.640 show that night? So I came home and what did 1554 01:29:46.720 --> 01:29:50.239 I do? I prepared myself a delicious meal from Factor 1555 01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:53.199 for dinner, and it was ready in minutes. If I 1556 01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:55.920 wanted to make the same meal myself, First of all, 1557 01:29:56.439 --> 01:29:59.399 I'm no chef, but if I wanted to, it would 1558 01:29:59.399 --> 01:30:01.600 have taken out and I would have missed out on 1559 01:30:01.680 --> 01:30:05.239 all the summer fun. That's the convenience of Factor. Factor 1560 01:30:05.319 --> 01:30:08.760 meals are chef crafted, dietitian approved, and ready to eat 1561 01:30:08.880 --> 01:30:11.720 in just two minutes, taking the hassle out of eating well. 1562 01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:15.159 Factor meals arrive fresh and ready to eat, making them 1563 01:30:15.199 --> 01:30:17.960 perfect for any active lifestyle, not just this summer, but 1564 01:30:18.399 --> 01:30:22.560 all year round.

You 1571 01:30:42.840 --> 01:30:45.920 want all the flavor without all the fuss. Factors got 1572 01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:50.079 you covered. My favorite meal by far has been the 1573 01:30:50.159 --> 01:30:53.960 sesame teriaki filet mignon. Not only was it delicious, but 1574 01:30:54.039 --> 01:30:56.239 I like that I can eat healthier and actually enjoy 1575 01:30:56.319 --> 01:30:58.079 what I'm eating. At the same time, I don't have 1576 01:30:58.159 --> 01:31:00.800 to feel guilty when I'm done. And also, if you've 1577 01:31:00.960 --> 01:31:04.600 set certain fitness goals for yourself, as I have, if 1578 01:31:04.600 --> 01:31:06.880 you want to get down to your goal weight. For example, 1579 01:31:07.279 --> 01:31:09.760 eating healthier is the way to go. You can do 1580 01:31:09.880 --> 01:31:12.279 all the cardio in the world, but you cannot outrun 1581 01:31:12.359 --> 01:31:16.039 a crappy diet. So I appreciate how Factor Meals allows 1582 01:31:16.079 --> 01:31:18.359 me to stick to my goals. Just heat it up 1583 01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:21.399 in two minutes and it's ready to go.

I'm not worried about Tanahashi bleeding. 1598 01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:24.920 I'm worried about Tanahashi being able to fucking walk in 1599 01:32:24.960 --> 01:32:32.720 a straight line, Like I get I hurt when I 1600 01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:41.920 see him walking on those knees.

Yeah, that's it's 1604 01:32:54.880 --> 01:32:59.720 pretty awful. It's pretty awful play on words. Leave the 1605 01:32:59.760 --> 01:33:04.680 human to the pros. I would say. There's our friend 1606 01:33:04.720 --> 01:33:10.880 the moldy cheeseburger who says, buy rent or sell Sinners 1607 01:33:10.920 --> 01:33:15.439 weapons or Fantastic four. And have you seen the new 1608 01:33:15.520 --> 01:33:20.439 Halloween game trailer? John Carpenter is involved. I just saw 1609 01:33:20.439 --> 01:33:23.239 it a few hours ago. Somebody tagged me in it. 1610 01:33:24.760 --> 01:33:27.560 I mean, it looks cool. Then there were a whole 1611 01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:29.720 bunch of people in the comments sections saying that the 1612 01:33:30.640 --> 01:33:33.680 producers of the game have abandoned games before and this 1613 01:33:33.800 --> 01:33:37.199 one may not even get done. So I'm not gonna 1614 01:33:37.199 --> 01:33:39.479 get too excited until I know it's actually coming out, 1615 01:33:40.399 --> 01:33:42.279 but it looks interesting. If it comes out, I'm definitely 1616 01:33:42.359 --> 01:33:46.840 gonna buy it as far as buy, rent or sell. 1617 01:33:47.319 --> 01:33:51.760 I'm gonna buy on Sinners, I'm gonna rent on Weapons, 1618 01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:56.880 and I'm gonna sell on the Fantastic Four. Three movies 1619 01:33:56.960 --> 01:33:59.720 I all saw in the last I think two weeks 1620 01:34:01.119 --> 01:34:04.880 I've seen them all. It took me a while to 1621 01:34:04.920 --> 01:34:08.560 see Sinners, but I finally saw it. Dry Chicken says 1622 01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:13.520 Christian Cage and Adam Copeland with these Spaceball references Spaceballs, Man, 1623 01:34:13.600 --> 01:34:17.560 Spaceballs for the Win Spaceballs, The Princess Bride and The 1624 01:34:17.680 --> 01:34:21.520 Goonies were like three of those movies that you know 1625 01:34:21.640 --> 01:34:25.640 as a kid when I was younger, I watch many, 1626 01:34:25.680 --> 01:34:34.560 many times, many many times. Joseph Stewart, speaking of movies, says, 1627 01:34:35.119 --> 01:34:39.159 what is your favorite song from the Batman eighty nine 1628 01:34:39.520 --> 01:34:44.039 Prince soundtrack? And did you own the Prince Batman eighty 1629 01:34:44.159 --> 01:34:49.239 nine soundtrack? I'm pretty sure I had the cassette tape 1630 01:34:49.319 --> 01:34:52.399 version of it, if there was one. I vaguely remember 1631 01:34:52.720 --> 01:34:56.520 a Batman logo on one of my cassette tapes, so 1632 01:34:56.640 --> 01:34:59.560 I think I did. As far as my favorite song, 1633 01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:04.000 party Men, you know, watching Jack Nicholson dance to that 1634 01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:07.479 in the movie. That was That was That was a vibe. 1635 01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:13.079 But I gotta go party man. I gotta go party man, 1636 01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:16.119 Joseph Stewar. Do you remember the movie Natural Born Killers 1637 01:35:16.159 --> 01:35:19.960 with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, says Mickey and Mallory Knox. 1638 01:35:20.199 --> 01:35:25.920 Oh do I remember it? Oh? Yes, Oh yes, I 1639 01:35:26.079 --> 01:35:27.880 do remember it. You want to know why I remember 1640 01:35:27.920 --> 01:35:30.439 it because my father took me to see it at 1641 01:35:30.479 --> 01:35:32.479 an age where I should not have seen that movie, 1642 01:35:34.279 --> 01:35:39.279 and it was. It left an impression on me. Actually, 1643 01:35:39.720 --> 01:35:41.640 as I recall the way that the movie was shot, 1644 01:35:42.039 --> 01:35:43.640 I think it gave me a headache too. I had 1645 01:35:43.680 --> 01:35:45.800 to lay down. There were some empty seats. I had 1646 01:35:45.840 --> 01:35:48.479 to lay down on the seats. But yeah, that movie was. 1647 01:35:48.840 --> 01:35:51.800 I should not have seen that movie. I should not 1648 01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:58.199 have been taken to see that movie. Robert Danny Junior 1649 01:35:58.319 --> 01:36:02.760 was in that movie. Also. Do you remember the short 1650 01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:07.960 live action short live short lot Oh? I think you 1651 01:36:08.039 --> 01:36:13.720 means short lived faction The Dark Carnival in WCW with Vampiro, 1652 01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:19.800 the Great Muda and the insane clown Posse. Not really, No, 1653 01:36:20.159 --> 01:36:32.319 I don't really have too many memories of it. Holpling 1654 01:36:32.399 --> 01:36:35.239 ninety three. You have to love security was quick to 1655 01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:41.680 stop Hangman for a chair shot, but not for Arson Brother. 1656 01:36:41.760 --> 01:36:44.920 It's the same company where in storyline, Tony Kahan is 1657 01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:50.239 powerless to stop promoting a match with Will Osprey on 1658 01:36:50.319 --> 01:36:53.119 Sunday despite his injuries because it's non sanctioned. There's just 1659 01:36:53.199 --> 01:37:01.319 nothing the man can do. It's all very stupid. Joseph says, 1660 01:37:01.439 --> 01:37:05.079 what is your favorite Raven match in ECW and in TNA? 1661 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:08.039 I don't have a favorite. See if you would have 1662 01:37:08.079 --> 01:37:11.720 asked me what's my favorite Raven match in WCW, I 1663 01:37:11.800 --> 01:37:15.079 could have told you exactly what it was. It was 1664 01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:17.439 the match on Nitro where he lost the US title 1665 01:37:17.520 --> 01:37:22.640 to Goldberg in ninety eight. I don't have a favorite 1666 01:37:22.720 --> 01:37:27.000 Raven TNA match, and in ECW, I mean the one 1667 01:37:27.039 --> 01:37:32.960 with Tommy Dreamer. Joseph says, do you remember the WCWVHS 1668 01:37:33.039 --> 01:37:37.079 home videotape of Sid Vicious Millennium Man? I didn't own it, 1669 01:37:37.359 --> 01:37:39.880 I didn't watch it. I don't even know it exists. 1670 01:37:41.720 --> 01:37:43.920 Is it true that when Vince signed Sid to the 1671 01:37:44.079 --> 01:37:47.640 WWF in ninety one that Vince wanted to make Sid 1672 01:37:47.720 --> 01:37:51.199 the next big babyface, replacing Hogan After their match at 1673 01:37:51.239 --> 01:37:56.600 WrestleMania eight, Well, it's all speculation. That may have been 1674 01:37:56.680 --> 01:38:00.880 his idea, but certainly didn't feel that way just based 1675 01:38:00.920 --> 01:38:05.359 on the way he was booked as a heel. So 1676 01:38:05.560 --> 01:38:11.520 if that was the original plan, plans changed. Terrible Dried Chicken. 1677 01:38:11.600 --> 01:38:15.920 It's Billy the puppet from Saw and he has offered 1678 01:38:16.000 --> 01:38:18.560 you two options. Sleep on a bed filled with a 1679 01:38:18.640 --> 01:38:23.239 thousand bedbugs for five thousand dollars, or land on thumbtacks 1680 01:38:23.319 --> 01:38:26.439 with rubbing alcohol on your body for ten thousand dollars. 1681 01:38:27.399 --> 01:38:30.039 I will land on thumbtacks with rubbing alcohol, thank you 1682 01:38:30.199 --> 01:38:32.399 very much. I've dealt with bed bugs before. I don't 1683 01:38:32.439 --> 01:38:36.720 ever want to do that again. I will land on 1684 01:38:36.800 --> 01:38:39.079 the thumb tax and take my ten thousand dollars, Thank 1685 01:38:39.119 --> 01:38:42.439 you very much. Joseph says, do you think if Diesel 1686 01:38:42.560 --> 01:38:49.800 was a draw as champion in nineteen ninety five? I 1687 01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:52.279 think we have them on the list here. I think 1688 01:38:52.319 --> 01:38:55.119 we're caught up on the old ones. Let me bring 1689 01:38:55.199 --> 01:38:56.800 that one up first. Here we go. Do you think 1690 01:38:56.840 --> 01:38:59.640 if Diesel was a draw as champion in ninety five 1691 01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:03.479 he would have had more movie roles at the time 1692 01:39:03.640 --> 01:39:07.079 besides Teenage Mutant, Ninja Turtles, Secret of the Ooze as 1693 01:39:07.359 --> 01:39:13.520 Super Shredder. No, I mean I don't think. I don't 1694 01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:15.399 think one would have had anything to do with the other. 1695 01:39:20.079 --> 01:39:21.760 I mean, how much of a draw would he have been? 1696 01:39:21.840 --> 01:39:23.960 Even even if he was a draw, he wasn't going 1697 01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:26.960 to be some sort of mega draw. He was not Hogan. 1698 01:39:28.880 --> 01:39:31.439 Hogan was Hogan and look at the roles Hogan got. 1699 01:39:31.680 --> 01:39:35.880 Like if Nash was a little more successful as Champion, 1700 01:39:36.159 --> 01:39:37.760 I mean, what was he going to be doing acting 1701 01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:42.239 with de Niro and Pacino? Like, it would not have 1702 01:39:42.319 --> 01:39:49.359 made a difference. Joseph says, do you think Sean Michaels 1703 01:39:49.399 --> 01:39:51.640 could have had a movie career in Hollywood like Batista 1704 01:39:51.720 --> 01:39:58.680 Rock and John Cena? No? Are you going to watch 1705 01:39:58.760 --> 01:40:02.479 John cenas Peacemaker series? It's on my list to go 1706 01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:05.239 back and watch season one. I have not seen it, 1707 01:40:05.439 --> 01:40:09.520 so I'd like to, But I'm not going to be 1708 01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:12.600 watching season two until I can get through season one, 1709 01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:23.600 So no Linklex. I'm so glad the security geeks prioritize 1710 01:40:23.640 --> 01:40:26.279 saving Ricochet and Mercedes over the man who was almost 1711 01:40:26.600 --> 01:40:31.920 burned alive. They're the real heroes, thank god. Yeah, they 1712 01:40:31.960 --> 01:40:33.760 must have been in a part of the arena that 1713 01:40:33.960 --> 01:40:43.680 was really you know, hidden away somewhere. I guess right, Joseph, 1714 01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:46.560 Have you seen the Wednesday series on Netflix? The series 1715 01:40:46.680 --> 01:40:54.239 is about Gomez and Mortitia Adams's daughter. No, no, I 1716 01:40:54.319 --> 01:41:04.439 have not. I assume it doesn't star Christina Ricci. She 1717 01:41:04.560 --> 01:41:06.439 might be a little too old these days now to 1718 01:41:06.479 --> 01:41:11.520 play Wednesday. Omar, the man injecting Lucasaurus looked a lot 1719 01:41:11.640 --> 01:41:14.800 like Jack Perry. I suspect he returns on Sunday and 1720 01:41:14.880 --> 01:41:20.119 becomes the de facto leader of the patriarchy. Oh you 1721 01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:21.960 know what I did? God, I hadn't even noticed that. 1722 01:41:23.279 --> 01:41:26.399 I didn't even notice who was injecting him in that 1723 01:41:26.920 --> 01:41:35.079 little skip before he came out. Johnny Burnie, MJF and 1724 01:41:35.119 --> 01:41:37.760 Page will follow the Punk Taker wrestle Minni a twenty 1725 01:41:37.880 --> 01:41:43.760 nine format. In what way it'll be the best match 1726 01:41:43.840 --> 01:41:49.239 on the show? In what way do you mean? Javili 1727 01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:53.439 with the twelve dollar eighty seven cent super chat. If 1728 01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:56.720 Jade car Gill did not leave AW, what is the 1729 01:41:56.800 --> 01:42:02.119 possibility of losing the TBS title to Mercedes or facing 1730 01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:07.760 Tony Storm for the AW Women's title. I mean, had 1731 01:42:07.840 --> 01:42:09.840 she stayed, I'm sure she would have had matches with 1732 01:42:09.880 --> 01:42:12.359 all of them. So I think the chances are very high. 1733 01:42:13.479 --> 01:42:18.800 Rank these Tanahashi rivals in order, Okata, Omega, Naito, Suzuki, Goto, Shibata, 1734 01:42:18.880 --> 01:42:32.880 and Nakamura. Well, Okada is number one a man I 1735 01:42:32.920 --> 01:42:41.920 would I would probably go Okata, Nito, maybe Goto. I 1736 01:42:42.000 --> 01:42:46.720 mean after that it gets very fuzzy for me. I'll 1737 01:42:46.720 --> 01:42:54.640 say I'll say Okata, Naito, Goto, uh, Shabata, Knakamura, Omega, 1738 01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:58.720 and Suzuki. All that matters is Okada is number one. 1739 01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:04.399 See clearly, what the fuck is a wrestle palooza? I'll 1740 01:43:04.479 --> 01:43:11.199 go with all out a gorilla. I don't care if 1741 01:43:11.239 --> 01:43:13.880 the name sounds like something I'd order at Taco Bell. 1742 01:43:14.319 --> 01:43:24.119 Brodido needs to win those belts. It does sound like 1743 01:43:24.199 --> 01:43:29.159 something on a Taco Bell menu, doesn't it. Oznglorious Athena 1744 01:43:29.199 --> 01:43:32.279 wrestles like one of those many inflatable wacky two people 1745 01:43:32.359 --> 01:43:35.520 in front of car dealerships wearing a wig. The sooner 1746 01:43:35.600 --> 01:43:38.840 she's back in Ring of Honor, the better. Congrats on 1747 01:43:39.119 --> 01:43:45.640 eighty eight K Thank you brother, you shaming the wacky 1748 01:43:45.720 --> 01:43:53.600 whaling inflatable tube men can't be doing that.

Tony feels like a week leader. But 1753 01:44:14.479 --> 01:44:17.800 the important thing is Mercedes and her Apollo Creed ring gear. 1754 01:44:19.199 --> 01:44:21.920 She looked good. She looked good tonight in that gear. 1755 01:44:28.199 --> 01:44:32.800 Dev to dust celebrating forty one months of membership. Boone 1756 01:44:32.920 --> 01:44:36.319 hits a deep left. This might send the Yankees to 1757 01:44:36.399 --> 01:44:39.560 the World Series. Boone a hero in Game seven. No 1758 01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:41.199 one gives a shit about Boone. No one gives a 1759 01:44:41.199 --> 01:44:43.560 shit about the Yankees. No one gives a shit about 1760 01:44:43.560 --> 01:44:47.000 the Mets. They all fucking suck. The big fundamental Tim 1761 01:44:47.079 --> 01:44:51.560 Duncan ball Game over, World Series over. The Yankees win. 1762 01:44:54.319 --> 01:44:56.479 Your super chat is about the only thing the Yankees 1763 01:44:56.520 --> 01:45:01.000 are gonna win. Power spying games. Why a wrestling matt 1764 01:45:01.079 --> 01:45:09.039 called a canvas because wrestling is art very good. Also, 1765 01:45:09.520 --> 01:45:13.279 I'll be a forbidden door on Sunday. Well, the O 1766 01:45:13.439 --> 01:45:15.680 two is gonna be loud, You're gonna have a lot 1767 01:45:15.720 --> 01:45:18.560 of people there, and it's an indoor arena, It's not 1768 01:45:18.640 --> 01:45:21.600 a giant stadium. So everything should be magnified, everything should 1769 01:45:21.600 --> 01:45:29.359 be louder, have fun, My friend, enjoy the show The 1770 01:45:29.479 --> 01:45:33.079 Moldy Cheeseburger. Why does Tony Kahan rush all of these 1771 01:45:33.359 --> 01:45:37.600 forbidden door matches at the last minute? It annoys me. 1772 01:45:37.880 --> 01:45:40.119 I know who Bosilla is, but do the fans know 1773 01:45:40.199 --> 01:45:45.560 who she is? I had to look her up. But 1774 01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:48.960 that's not even the point, dude, Like, you know you're 1775 01:45:49.000 --> 01:45:52.600 booking her in a match, and I mean literally literally 1776 01:45:52.720 --> 01:45:56.359 just a match, like there's nothing like, there's nothing more 1777 01:45:56.399 --> 01:46:01.760 to it than that, here's Bozilla, everybody. And as far 1778 01:46:01.800 --> 01:46:03.439 as the show, I mean literally, the only thing they 1779 01:46:03.520 --> 01:46:06.119 mentioned is that she's the second generation talent. They never 1780 01:46:06.239 --> 01:46:09.119 even told you who her father was. They just said 1781 01:46:09.159 --> 01:46:15.520 she's second generation The Moldy Cheeseburger. Why does to Oh, 1782 01:46:15.560 --> 01:46:18.680 we just read that one so nice. I was about 1783 01:46:18.680 --> 01:46:22.039 to read it twice oz and Glorias says, hit that 1784 01:46:22.319 --> 01:46:25.279 like button. That's it, that thumbs up is right there 1785 01:46:25.319 --> 01:46:31.239 waiting for you to touch it. You have consent to 1786 01:46:31.399 --> 01:46:35.880 touch the touch the button. We have ten more, ten 1787 01:46:35.960 --> 01:46:38.800 more likes, and we are guaranteed one round to be 1788 01:46:38.920 --> 01:46:41.359 the booker. And I see the bonus goal in the chat. 1789 01:46:41.399 --> 01:46:46.520 We're ten out of fifteen were including yellows yellow super 1790 01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:50.439 chats in this goal, so five more there we might 1791 01:46:50.479 --> 01:47:01.199 get a bonus round we got, Greteo. Greteo MS missed 1792 01:47:01.279 --> 01:47:04.119 your take on the Christian and Cope section. Is Nick 1793 01:47:04.199 --> 01:47:07.479 Wayne's injury is silver lining for Christian versus Wayne? Down 1794 01:47:07.560 --> 01:47:11.479 the line, it's a silver lining. I'm also not one 1795 01:47:12.239 --> 01:47:16.720 convinced that he is hurt. I'm assuming it's a legitimate injury. 1796 01:47:16.840 --> 01:47:19.960 But who's to say he doesn't show up and get 1797 01:47:20.000 --> 01:47:22.199 involved and then we get the match on Dynamite in 1798 01:47:22.239 --> 01:47:24.000 two weeks or something, you know, But yeah, I mean 1799 01:47:24.560 --> 01:47:26.239 they have to come back to it. It's only a 1800 01:47:26.319 --> 01:47:28.600 silver lining if he's not gone for that long. I mean, 1801 01:47:28.640 --> 01:47:30.279 if he's going to be gone for months and months, 1802 01:47:31.800 --> 01:47:35.520 I mean you could always try to find a silver 1803 01:47:35.640 --> 01:47:38.359 lining in something like that, But if he's going to 1804 01:47:38.399 --> 01:47:40.920 be gone for an extended period of time, that's that's 1805 01:47:41.000 --> 01:47:44.800 not good. You know, everything that they've been sort of 1806 01:47:44.880 --> 01:47:48.560 building up to, all that, all that momentum, it it's 1807 01:47:48.600 --> 01:47:55.039 just gonna be lost, you know, Alex says brother Solo. 1808 01:47:55.119 --> 01:47:57.920 I know, as a content creator, it's a logistical nightmare 1809 01:47:58.239 --> 01:48:02.039 to cover both shows simultaneous. Just know whatever you decide 1810 01:48:02.079 --> 01:48:05.239 to cover, we will be here to support you. I mean, 1811 01:48:05.279 --> 01:48:08.319 I've done it before when like NXT was up against 1812 01:48:08.399 --> 01:48:11.239 Dynamite and stuff. You do the two screen experience thing. 1813 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:13.960 I'm not doing it with these pay per views though, 1814 01:48:15.520 --> 01:48:18.399 I'm not doing it with that. It's gonna first of all, 1815 01:48:18.439 --> 01:48:20.239 it's gonna ruin the enjoyment of the shows. For me, 1816 01:48:21.760 --> 01:48:25.560 that's number one and number two. My full focus and 1817 01:48:25.640 --> 01:48:27.640 attention on these bigger shows needs to be on one 1818 01:48:27.720 --> 01:48:29.720 show or the other, especially if I have to put 1819 01:48:29.800 --> 01:48:32.680 notes together and I'm going live right after. I'm not 1820 01:48:32.800 --> 01:48:39.840 doing this two screen bullshit. So I'll make a decision 1821 01:48:39.880 --> 01:48:42.840 as we get closer, but I'm leaning towards Wrestle Puloser 1822 01:48:44.720 --> 01:48:47.479 Project Libertad. How do you feel about Japanese and Mexican 1823 01:48:47.520 --> 01:48:50.159 fans not liking some of the decisions that pander to 1824 01:48:50.600 --> 01:48:54.960 American fans that both WWE and AW did with their 1825 01:48:55.039 --> 01:49:00.199 partner companies Takeshta and VIKINGO come to mind. I mean 1826 01:49:00.239 --> 01:49:02.560 the Takeshta thing, I don't understand. I think Takesha was 1827 01:49:02.600 --> 01:49:04.840 a fine choice to win the g one and he 1828 01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:09.840 actually has a contract with New Japan. So to me, 1829 01:49:11.039 --> 01:49:14.079 I didn't really put a whole lot of you know, 1830 01:49:15.319 --> 01:49:18.560 I didn't put a whole lot of stock into what 1831 01:49:18.680 --> 01:49:21.880 some people were saying about the Takeshta stuff, other than 1832 01:49:22.359 --> 01:49:25.840 I can understand people feeling someone like a Yotasuji, you know, 1833 01:49:25.880 --> 01:49:27.800 one of the young stars, that they should be building 1834 01:49:28.920 --> 01:49:33.159 up more, that he should have won. Like I understand that. 1835 01:49:33.720 --> 01:49:37.239 But if Takesha wins the championship from Saber before wreussell Kingdom, 1836 01:49:37.239 --> 01:49:39.640 he could drop it to Suji at the Dome, and 1837 01:49:39.720 --> 01:49:41.399 I think that would mean more, and I think that's 1838 01:49:41.439 --> 01:49:45.600 what they should do. As far as the Vikingo stuff, 1839 01:49:45.720 --> 01:49:48.039 I mean, look, it's a fair point. You know, vi 1840 01:49:48.159 --> 01:49:51.760 Kingo was sort of he was already beaten by Alberto 1841 01:49:51.880 --> 01:49:55.439 and he was old news, and all of a sudden, 1842 01:49:55.600 --> 01:49:57.840 WWE moves in and it's like, we want the title 1843 01:49:57.880 --> 01:50:03.119 on Vikingo. You feel like they're not listening to what 1844 01:50:03.279 --> 01:50:05.600 it is that you want. That's why they're rebelling against 1845 01:50:05.680 --> 01:50:08.279 Vikingo and they're booing him. It's not because of anything 1846 01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:12.520 he did. So I mean, I think that's a fair critique. 1847 01:50:15.720 --> 01:50:18.720 Oz says kudos to Hangman Page for being able to 1848 01:50:18.800 --> 01:50:23.159 navigate public transport to a UK venue and not attacking 1849 01:50:23.199 --> 01:50:30.000 your boss and colleagues backstage afterwards that we know of. Well, 1850 01:50:30.039 --> 01:50:33.680 actually he did attack his colleague backstage. He attacked Ricochet 1851 01:50:33.840 --> 01:50:36.199 with a chair and he punched out one of the 1852 01:50:36.239 --> 01:50:40.960 security guards. What are you talking about? He didn't attack 1853 01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:49.560 his colleagues backstage, he attacked two people. Be com see clearly, 1854 01:50:49.880 --> 01:50:53.920 what was Hiroshi Tanahashi doing. I'd bust out laughing because 1855 01:50:53.960 --> 01:50:57.439 he was visibly trying his hardest cool. But he should 1856 01:50:57.479 --> 01:51:04.000 not wrestle again. I mean duties in his retirement year. 1857 01:51:04.079 --> 01:51:07.479 He's wrestling all the way through the Tokyo Dome. His 1858 01:51:07.640 --> 01:51:12.960 last match is January fourth, not going to stop now 1859 01:51:18.520 --> 01:51:22.880 anyf We are currently sitting at four hundred and sixteen likes. 1860 01:51:24.279 --> 01:51:29.960 I love it. Boots with a ten spot gets us 1861 01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:33.680 to eleven out of fifteen on that bonus skull. Look 1862 01:51:33.720 --> 01:51:38.000 at Boots with the blue skull showing off. Nick Wayne 1863 01:51:38.079 --> 01:51:40.960 is going to pull the swerve of the century at 1864 01:51:41.039 --> 01:51:45.079 forbidden Door. I wouldn't go that far. Nick Wayne could 1865 01:51:45.119 --> 01:51:47.880 pull off whatever he wants to. Calling it the swerve 1866 01:51:47.920 --> 01:51:51.119 of the century is giving it a little too much credit. 1867 01:51:53.600 --> 01:51:55.800 But yeah, I'm not one hundred percent convinced that he's 1868 01:51:55.880 --> 01:51:59.800 not going to show up and it's all just a ruse. 1869 01:52:03.880 --> 01:52:07.520 Tanahashi wrestling at the G one opening night was horrible. Okay, 1870 01:52:07.560 --> 01:52:11.159 I didn't see that, so was it really that bad? 1871 01:52:11.439 --> 01:52:16.920 Who did he wrestle that night? This was probably the 1872 01:52:17.039 --> 01:52:20.800 first time in a very long time I saw so 1873 01:52:21.359 --> 01:52:23.960 little of The G One. I always try to catch 1874 01:52:25.000 --> 01:52:27.840 a decent amount of it. I'm never able to watch 1875 01:52:27.880 --> 01:52:31.800 all of it, but it's like, I don't know, I 1876 01:52:31.880 --> 01:52:34.319 just felt like people barely cared this year. You didn't 1877 01:52:34.319 --> 01:52:38.199 hear anybody really talking about it, no real major coverage 1878 01:52:38.239 --> 01:52:42.640 of it. You know. It's just they're in a very 1879 01:52:42.720 --> 01:52:45.279 cold period right now, which is why they need to 1880 01:52:45.319 --> 01:52:48.039 build up some of these newer guys faster. I don't 1881 01:52:48.039 --> 01:52:49.960 know why it's taken this long for them to do this, 1882 01:52:52.199 --> 01:52:54.479 but it's time. You know, the tana Hashi's of the 1883 01:52:54.560 --> 01:52:59.000 world and the I mean night Thoughs been gone. Ospbury's 1884 01:52:59.039 --> 01:53:02.600 been gone for a while, Cot is gone, Like where's 1885 01:53:02.640 --> 01:53:07.159 the new guard Man? Where? Where where are they? I mean, 1886 01:53:07.199 --> 01:53:10.680 they're there, but they're not really pushing them at that 1887 01:53:10.840 --> 01:53:12.640 level yet, which is what they need. To be doing. 1888 01:53:12.680 --> 01:53:14.760 I don't know what the hell's taken them so long, 1889 01:53:16.800 --> 01:53:18.680 but yeah, it was the lowest attendance for a g 1890 01:53:18.880 --> 01:53:25.680 One in more than a decade. That's not good, ladies 1891 01:53:25.760 --> 01:53:29.520 or gentlemen. It is now time to be the booker. 1892 01:53:34.479 --> 01:53:37.039 Maybe we'll get some new Japan talents that pop up 1893 01:53:37.079 --> 01:53:40.079 and be the booker. Maybe we could book a better 1894 01:53:40.199 --> 01:53:43.439 g One than the new Japan. Let's say, I'll tell 1895 01:53:43.479 --> 01:53:49.720 you what. I'll tell you what. Let's make this our 1896 01:53:49.880 --> 01:53:53.520 g one card tonight. Yeah, the g one card. They 1897 01:53:53.560 --> 01:53:55.840 have non tournament matches as well, so we'll have a 1898 01:53:55.920 --> 01:53:58.560 tag match, we'll have a women's match, it'll be like 1899 01:53:58.640 --> 01:54:01.520 our stardom match, and then we'll have our g one 1900 01:54:01.640 --> 01:54:05.159 main event, our g one final. Let's see if we 1901 01:54:05.199 --> 01:54:10.319 could book a better g One here than ghetto. Randy 1902 01:54:10.479 --> 01:54:19.720 Orton and Edge rated RKO are gonna be taking on 1903 01:54:21.359 --> 01:54:28.000 Stone Cold, Steve Austen and The Undertaker. Can we main 1904 01:54:28.079 --> 01:54:30.800 event a g one with a tag team match? Because 1905 01:54:30.800 --> 01:54:35.079 I think we just found our tag team match. Holy shit, 1906 01:54:35.279 --> 01:54:38.600 Stone Cold and the Undertaker against Randy Orton and Edge. 1907 01:54:41.600 --> 01:54:44.239 This is already a better g One than anything Ghetto booked. 1908 01:54:48.520 --> 01:54:53.000 This will be our stardom match, our Joshi Match of 1909 01:54:53.119 --> 01:55:07.239 the night. Oh boy, we have Tessa Blanchard. Tessa Blanchard 1910 01:55:11.039 --> 01:55:20.920 against Bird Girl, Lyra Valkyria. I liked Lyra, Lyra and 1911 01:55:21.079 --> 01:55:34.880 Tessa and now our G one final twelve out of fifteen. 1912 01:55:34.960 --> 01:55:43.239 By the way, on the bonus goal, Boots with the 1913 01:55:43.359 --> 01:55:46.640 ten says, was Bobby Fish the glue that held the 1914 01:55:46.800 --> 01:55:56.399 undisputed era paragon together? Where's the lie? Was Bobby Fish 1915 01:55:56.520 --> 01:55:58.560 the glue that held them together? I mean he may 1916 01:55:58.600 --> 01:56:00.720 have been sniffing glue, but no, I wouldn't say he 1917 01:56:00.840 --> 01:56:10.039 was the glue that held them together. MJF, who currently 1918 01:56:10.159 --> 01:56:13.800 is the CML Light Heavyweight Champion, is now in the 1919 01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:20.000 finals of Our G one. Climax here, look at this, 1920 01:56:21.279 --> 01:56:23.680 these guys everywhere. Man, he's in CMLL. Now he's in 1921 01:56:23.720 --> 01:56:40.199 the G one final. MJF against John Moxley in the 1922 01:56:40.399 --> 01:56:47.720 final of Our G one. I'm metting a third person. 1923 01:56:48.640 --> 01:56:51.199 We're gonna have a triple threat G one final for 1924 01:56:51.279 --> 01:56:55.840 the first time. We're gonna add one. We're gonna add 1925 01:56:55.880 --> 01:57:04.119 one more at oh no, oh no, Alberto Dell dipshit. 1926 01:57:04.279 --> 01:57:10.319 He ruined what would have been a clean sweep in 1927 01:57:10.439 --> 01:57:16.119 the g One. This is what people are booing the 1928 01:57:16.239 --> 01:57:21.279 kingo for. This is the baby face that they want 1929 01:57:21.399 --> 01:57:30.359 to cheer. I think Ghetto snuck in and he he 1930 01:57:30.800 --> 01:57:34.479 rebooked the final here for the g One. That's the 1931 01:57:34.640 --> 01:57:43.319 g One. That's so bad. Oh, that's awful. That's awful, 1932 01:57:44.079 --> 01:57:48.119 Mexico sweetheart. Oh you Lucha Libre fan? What am I 1933 01:57:48.199 --> 01:57:58.199 missing here? What am I missing? Yeah? Maxley gonna win 1934 01:57:58.279 --> 01:58:08.600 another championship. Joseph Stewart, do you remember the movie Clue 1935 01:58:08.800 --> 01:58:11.439 from nineteen eighty five with Tim Curry. It was based 1936 01:58:11.520 --> 01:58:15.960 off the Clue Game. Yes, I'm aware of that, and 1937 01:58:16.239 --> 01:58:30.319 I did watch the movie Clue. I like the game too. Uh, 1938 01:58:30.439 --> 01:58:34.039 be calm, see clearly, I'm upset that Moxley hasn't put 1939 01:58:34.079 --> 01:58:37.680 over Shooter clean. Have him pinmox one two three in 1940 01:58:37.720 --> 01:58:40.359 the middle of the ring and have him dominate him. 1941 01:58:40.399 --> 01:58:47.079 Simple is a ghetto or Ghetto had to make that 1942 01:58:47.279 --> 01:58:50.880 joke for some reason. You really didn't have to, but 1943 01:58:51.039 --> 01:58:57.800 you did. Joseph Stewart, do you think Keanna James and 1944 01:58:57.880 --> 01:59:01.199 Nick Wayne would be a good pay if Keana went 1945 01:59:01.279 --> 01:59:07.000 to a e W Keanna James and Nick Wayne? What 1946 01:59:07.119 --> 01:59:10.119 does he need Keana James for he's got mother Wayne 1947 01:59:10.239 --> 01:59:13.439 to uh to manage all of his affairs and finances 1948 01:59:13.479 --> 01:59:16.159 and everything. He doesn't need Keana James. Keana James is 1949 01:59:16.279 --> 01:59:19.239 like and that was her gimmick in NXT too, Like 1950 01:59:19.399 --> 01:59:23.159 she was very business oriented, right, she has a financial 1951 01:59:23.239 --> 01:59:26.640 background or whatever. He doesn't need her. He's got mother 1952 01:59:26.680 --> 01:59:33.159 Wayne for that. She gives him a uh my god, 1953 01:59:33.199 --> 01:59:36.439 what's the word I'm looking for allowing? Forgot the word allowance. 1954 01:59:36.479 --> 01:59:48.039 She gives him his allowance. Oh fuck me, fuck fuck 1955 01:59:48.119 --> 02:00:00.159 that tree. Solo with the candlestick in the library, the 1956 02:00:00.239 --> 02:00:04.319 one who put down crazy Uncle Dave Meltzer. As if 1957 02:00:04.399 --> 02:00:10.119 Solo would be in the library, that's a good one. Boots. 1958 02:00:10.319 --> 02:00:20.039 Who wins between Nino hamburg Asa and cheeseburger? Oh, cheeseburger, cheeseburger. 1959 02:00:26.600 --> 02:00:32.640 Libido Bell, Hey, there's Vato Sting. Maybe if they put 1960 02:00:32.640 --> 02:00:36.159 the triple A megatitle on Vatos Sting, everybody would be 1961 02:00:36.199 --> 02:00:39.039 happy and they would forget about Alberto. What do you think, 1962 02:00:40.239 --> 02:00:43.039 Libido Bell says, Seeing that you're both a Mortal Kombat 1963 02:00:43.119 --> 02:00:48.359 fan and a Friday the Thirteenth fan, have you played MKX, 1964 02:00:48.720 --> 02:00:54.039 the one that has Jason Leatherface, Alien and Predator learning 1965 02:00:54.119 --> 02:01:00.600 tree needs to be replaced with my family tree. No, 1966 02:01:00.760 --> 02:01:07.680 it doesn't. I actually have not played Mortal Kombat X 1967 02:01:09.600 --> 02:01:12.159 or ten to ten. I have eleven, by the way, 1968 02:01:12.239 --> 02:01:15.600 I downloaded. I haven't installed yet, but I downloaded eleven 1969 02:01:15.920 --> 02:01:18.000 on Steam. They had a Steam sale a few weeks ago, 1970 02:01:19.720 --> 02:01:25.680 and I still haven't played yet. Be comc clearly we 1971 02:01:25.800 --> 02:01:29.600 are the champions.

Should we 1975 02:01:39.159 --> 02:01:45.439 do another g one card, this time with stipulations? Joseph Stewart. 1976 02:01:45.479 --> 02:01:47.560 Have you seen the Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude 1977 02:01:47.640 --> 02:01:53.680 van Dam and Raoul Julia? Yes, Raoul Julia has the 1978 02:01:54.119 --> 02:02:00.359 quote of the entire movie. Devin from NJ and honor 1979 02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:03.399 of both their eightieth birthdays this week, buy or sell 1980 02:02:03.479 --> 02:02:05.560 on who did a better job at giving us weekly 1981 02:02:05.880 --> 02:02:11.680 mini movies? David Chase or Vince McMahon. David Chase, Happy 1982 02:02:11.760 --> 02:02:18.079 birthday to David Chase. Joseph Stewart, who is your favorite 1983 02:02:18.119 --> 02:02:24.600 Street Fighter character? Honestly, Blanca. I used to spam that 1984 02:02:24.720 --> 02:02:27.319 shit man like I when I'm talking like back when 1985 02:02:27.319 --> 02:02:30.640 I was playing Street Fighter to Turbo and he would 1986 02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:35.000 do that rolling move. I would just spam that shit 1987 02:02:35.079 --> 02:02:38.199 and then shock people. I was really good at that, 1988 02:02:39.279 --> 02:02:41.640 and then I was doing well until I would get 1989 02:02:41.720 --> 02:02:47.600 to was it what was it dhalism or No? No, 1990 02:02:47.760 --> 02:02:51.720 it was chun Lee, that bitch. I could never beat her. 1991 02:02:53.239 --> 02:02:59.439 She was always so difficult. Yeah, I'll go with Blanca. 1992 02:03:03.680 --> 02:03:08.720 All right, it's bonus be the booker time, guys, So 1993 02:03:08.880 --> 02:03:14.840 what we'll do. We'll have oursel Hesse Rold Julie. It was, 1994 02:03:15.000 --> 02:03:27.439 it was, it was Tuesday. Such a great line, Devin says, 1995 02:03:27.920 --> 02:03:31.239 Zangief for me, I think I think russev could play 1996 02:03:31.279 --> 02:03:33.640 a good Zangief. I'm surprised they didn't cast him in 1997 02:03:33.640 --> 02:03:38.239 the Street Fighter movie. What character is Goto playing? Hiroki 1998 02:03:38.319 --> 02:03:40.720 Goto is in the Street Fighter movie? What character is he? 1999 02:03:40.920 --> 02:03:43.159 Is he? E Honda? I think he's playing e Honda 2000 02:03:43.720 --> 02:03:48.000 in the movie. We got Roman Reigns, we got Cody Rhodes, 2001 02:03:49.079 --> 02:03:52.720 and we got Hiroki Goto in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, 2002 02:03:52.760 --> 02:03:59.000 and then Jason Momoa and fifty Cents It's quite the 2003 02:03:59.079 --> 02:04:06.119 cast that they've put together here, Steel Cage. We're kicking 2004 02:04:06.199 --> 02:04:08.520 things off here. It is the second night of the 2005 02:04:08.640 --> 02:04:13.680 g One and we are booking a steel cage tag 2006 02:04:13.760 --> 02:04:24.479 team match. G One's not really known for filling up 2007 02:04:24.520 --> 02:04:29.000 the card with stipulations. We're gonna do it anyway. Brett 2008 02:04:29.079 --> 02:04:33.039 and owen Hart, they weren't a tag team for very long, 2009 02:04:33.960 --> 02:04:39.159 probably two months, but it gave us that great Colisseum 2010 02:04:39.279 --> 02:04:42.720 video match against the Steiner Brothers. I just watched that 2011 02:04:42.800 --> 02:04:46.720 on the Vault Channel a few weeks ago. Brett and 2012 02:04:46.800 --> 02:04:54.680 owen Hart against Lax Homicide and Hernandez inside of a 2013 02:04:55.039 --> 02:05:08.319 steel cage the Hearts and Lax cage style. Man, there 2014 02:05:08.359 --> 02:05:12.560 you go. I'm giving that. The bell, Isn't it always 2015 02:05:12.600 --> 02:05:15.239 a bell when it's owing and Brett usually unless we 2016 02:05:15.399 --> 02:05:17.800 land on like well done or some bullshit like that 2017 02:05:19.039 --> 02:05:29.960 fucking fandango and Tyler Breeze. Who is she that was? 2018 02:05:30.239 --> 02:05:32.720 Wasn't that Shelley Martinez in the image with them? I 2019 02:05:32.800 --> 02:05:41.119 think that was Shelley Martinez? Oh, man, Ultimate X. We 2020 02:05:41.319 --> 02:05:46.680 have an Ultimate X match at the g One and 2021 02:05:46.760 --> 02:05:49.600 it's a women's match too. Now you know what I'll 2022 02:05:49.640 --> 02:05:52.880 tell you what we'll do. I'll tell you what we'll do. 2023 02:05:55.079 --> 02:05:56.680 Put that, put that on the side. We're gonna have 2024 02:05:56.760 --> 02:05:58.960 We're gonna book an Ultimate X main event with the men, 2025 02:06:00.319 --> 02:06:03.640 and we'll book it with four guys. All right, but 2026 02:06:03.720 --> 02:06:06.600 we'll do that. We'll do that after I want to 2027 02:06:06.600 --> 02:06:10.399 book a women's match first. It's gonna be, Oh my god, 2028 02:06:12.520 --> 02:06:15.399 we go from an Ultimate X match to a Monster's 2029 02:06:15.479 --> 02:06:17.479 Ball match. All right, well, that's what it's gonna be. 2030 02:06:17.560 --> 02:06:24.600 Then Monsters Ball with the ladies. Here at the first 2031 02:06:24.680 --> 02:06:29.119 ever solo Monster g One. Well I have second, second 2032 02:06:29.159 --> 02:06:38.319 ever solo Monster g One. We got Medusa Medusa in 2033 02:06:38.399 --> 02:06:51.319 a monsters Ball match against EO Sky. Ah. Yes, EO 2034 02:06:51.439 --> 02:06:55.520 Sky and Medusa would just without any stipulations. I think 2035 02:06:55.640 --> 02:06:59.079 be a very good match with the Monster's ball stipulation. 2036 02:06:59.600 --> 02:07:03.479 I think that would utilize it well and probably beat 2037 02:07:03.520 --> 02:07:07.000 the shit out of each other. I dig that very much. 2038 02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:12.319 All right, now, we're gonna do two main events for you. 2039 02:07:12.560 --> 02:07:15.279 All right. This will be whatever whatever this is. This 2040 02:07:15.319 --> 02:07:17.319 will be the first main event, and then we'll go 2041 02:07:17.439 --> 02:07:21.359 back to the Ultimate X one. Very curious to see 2042 02:07:21.359 --> 02:07:30.560 how that works out. Ooh, grave consequences, greatest casket match. 2043 02:07:30.600 --> 02:07:33.399 I've ever seen those two guys right there, Ray Phoenix 2044 02:07:33.479 --> 02:07:36.640 and mil Mortes. We just saw him on the Triple 2045 02:07:36.680 --> 02:07:44.640 Mania show the other day. Missius lost to von Wagner. 2046 02:07:44.920 --> 02:07:51.560 Doctor No, not von Wagner, Doctor Wagner Junior l e 2047 02:07:51.720 --> 02:07:54.600 O del doctor Wagner. Whatever. Fuck his name is not 2048 02:07:54.840 --> 02:07:58.920 von Wagner. That's a totally different person, all right, Grave 2049 02:07:59.079 --> 02:08:12.720 consequences in our comine event. Grave consequences. Hey, who's this guy? 2050 02:08:13.399 --> 02:08:17.039 Whatever happened to this guy? The winner of the Andre 2051 02:08:17.199 --> 02:08:21.880 the Giant Memorial Battle, Royal Carmelo Hayes, He is him? 2052 02:08:27.800 --> 02:08:30.880 Oh my god, I forgot about Von Wagner. And come Tuesday, 2053 02:08:34.680 --> 02:08:37.800 who can forget about Come Tuesday? It's the best day 2054 02:08:37.840 --> 02:08:49.960 of the week, all right, Carmelo Hayes, the Grave Consequences 2055 02:08:50.039 --> 02:09:02.840 match against Triple h And yes, indeed it will be 2056 02:09:03.359 --> 02:09:09.119 grave consequences for poor Carmelo Hayes. That is not going 2057 02:09:09.199 --> 02:09:12.640 to end well for him. That's poor guy. You may 2058 02:09:12.680 --> 02:09:14.960 as well. I mean, just just make it official, you know, 2059 02:09:15.359 --> 02:09:18.840 just just just put him in the casket, shovel some 2060 02:09:18.920 --> 02:09:24.319 dirt on it, and just be done with it. Get 2061 02:09:24.359 --> 02:09:32.439 the damn shovel. Let's all start shoveling. Everybody gets a shovel. Okay, 2062 02:09:32.680 --> 02:09:36.319 we're gonna go back to the Ultimate X. Now, I'm 2063 02:09:36.359 --> 02:09:39.199 gonna pick four guys who have to climb across those 2064 02:09:39.279 --> 02:09:44.760 cables and pull down the X. This is our second 2065 02:09:44.840 --> 02:09:48.439 half of our double main event here, and we have 2066 02:09:48.840 --> 02:09:51.359 the Godfather Man. Pimping ain't easy. Look at this guy, 2067 02:09:51.439 --> 02:09:54.479 look at the look at the swag on him, at 2068 02:09:54.560 --> 02:09:57.279 the vest. He's got the hat, he's got the bling 2069 02:09:57.439 --> 02:10:04.079 around his neck, got the shades on. I don't know 2070 02:10:04.119 --> 02:10:07.359 about Godfather and an Ultimate X match though, that doesn't 2071 02:10:07.399 --> 02:10:13.960 seem like a very good idea. Ken Shamrock, the World's 2072 02:10:14.000 --> 02:10:19.520 Most Dangerous Man. This, this stipulation is not good for 2073 02:10:19.640 --> 02:10:26.000 these guys. Yeah, got Papa Shango trying to climb for 2074 02:10:26.039 --> 02:10:35.000 the Ultimate X. Godfather, Ken Shamrock, the Rock Rock and 2075 02:10:35.039 --> 02:10:38.439 Ken Shamrock Man. A lot of history there, a lot 2076 02:10:38.479 --> 02:10:42.560 of history there. What is this like this? Look the 2077 02:10:42.640 --> 02:10:50.000 attitude era Ultimate X made event here and Hollywood Hulk 2078 02:10:50.960 --> 02:10:57.720 hogid so nice. I'm gonna play the Sweet Noise twice. 2079 02:10:59.039 --> 02:11:02.680 I want to see how Hogan crawl across those fucking 2080 02:11:02.800 --> 02:11:08.359 cables and try to pull that Ultimate X down I 2081 02:11:08.520 --> 02:11:11.760 need to see this Hulk Hogan, the Rock, Ken Shamrock, 2082 02:11:12.319 --> 02:11:24.199 and the Godfather, Holy Monday Night Wars. Yeah, I mean, 2083 02:11:24.279 --> 02:11:27.119 that's that's nineteen ninety eight right there in a nutshell, 2084 02:11:27.199 --> 02:11:35.239 isn't it ninety eight ninety nine? Who's climbing and they're 2085 02:11:35.279 --> 02:11:38.800 all supposed to climb? They're all climbing. Well, Hogan exercises 2086 02:11:38.920 --> 02:11:43.359 creative control so he doesn't have to climb. Hogan's strategy 2087 02:11:43.439 --> 02:11:46.319 is to stand directly underneath so that if someone drops 2088 02:11:46.359 --> 02:11:49.880 the X, he can just catch it, but everybody else 2089 02:11:49.960 --> 02:11:57.159 has to climb. Well, that was a very unique main 2090 02:11:57.199 --> 02:12:07.359 event that I was not expecting a match that Bischoff 2091 02:12:07.399 --> 02:12:09.880 would give up on Nitro instead of a pay per 2092 02:12:09.960 --> 02:12:12.760 view if it would buy him an extra three tenths 2093 02:12:12.760 --> 02:12:20.479 of a Nielsen point, he would do it. Absolutely. You 2094 02:12:20.560 --> 02:12:23.279 imagine if we landed on Tanahashi and it's like modern 2095 02:12:23.359 --> 02:12:27.399 day Tanahashi with those knees trying to like slide his 2096 02:12:27.479 --> 02:12:36.199 way across the cables. We got Joseph who says, did 2097 02:12:36.239 --> 02:12:40.640 you know Street Fighter was Raoul Julia's last movie as 2098 02:12:40.720 --> 02:12:44.079 he did before he passed away, And he also did 2099 02:12:44.119 --> 02:12:46.279 the Street Fighter movie because his son was a big 2100 02:12:46.479 --> 02:12:51.119 Street Fighter fan. I did know that. Yeah, you could 2101 02:12:51.119 --> 02:12:53.760 tell he was sick when he filmed it. I don't 2102 02:12:53.800 --> 02:12:55.760 know how long it was after the movie came out. 2103 02:12:55.800 --> 02:12:57.760 It wasn't that much longer. And then he passed away. 2104 02:13:04.319 --> 02:13:08.159 Joseph says, do you think Wardlow and Keana James would 2105 02:13:08.199 --> 02:13:15.199 be a good a good pairing in aw? No, I 2106 02:13:15.319 --> 02:13:20.760 do not, Libido Bell. What's more interesting about the OG 2107 02:13:20.960 --> 02:13:24.720 Street Fighter movie is the troubled development behind the scenes. 2108 02:13:24.960 --> 02:13:29.960 Van Dam did a lot of coke is just one factor. 2109 02:13:31.840 --> 02:13:36.119 I mean, everybody did coke back then, right, that movie 2110 02:13:36.279 --> 02:13:41.279 was early nineties. All right, Well, I'm sure Van Dam 2111 02:13:41.399 --> 02:13:43.600 did a lot of coke making movies in the eighties, 2112 02:13:43.720 --> 02:13:45.640 you know, blood Sport and everything else that he did. 2113 02:13:46.920 --> 02:13:50.319 You can't be you can't be surprised by this. But 2114 02:13:50.399 --> 02:13:52.600 then again, it might make the movie more interesting if 2115 02:13:52.640 --> 02:13:59.840 they were all doing coke. Joseph says, in TNA, was 2116 02:14:00.359 --> 02:14:04.840 in storyline that Abyss and Judas Messius were brothers. That 2117 02:14:05.159 --> 02:14:10.920 was indeed a storyline. Yes, just like Abyss and Joseph 2118 02:14:11.000 --> 02:14:16.239 park Esquire, they were not brothers in real life. They 2119 02:14:16.279 --> 02:14:20.199 were just friends that work together. Matt Fisher, thank you 2120 02:14:20.239 --> 02:14:25.760 for the gifted membership. He gifted a membership to The 2121 02:14:25.840 --> 02:14:33.680 Moldy Cheeseburger and Libido Bell Busy Solo is Busy overdue 2122 02:14:33.760 --> 02:14:36.039 for a solo gamer would love to see your reactions 2123 02:14:36.079 --> 02:14:40.439 playing WWE All Stars in Wrestling Empire. Both games are insanity. 2124 02:14:41.760 --> 02:14:43.640 I got a lot of games queued up, and that's 2125 02:14:44.479 --> 02:14:47.960 not one of them. I will probably never get to that, 2126 02:14:49.039 --> 02:14:50.520 but I do hope to get to some of these 2127 02:14:50.560 --> 02:14:55.680 others I've got all queued up in my steam. Joseph says, 2128 02:14:55.720 --> 02:15:02.479 what is your favorite Jean Claude Van Damn movie? M hmm, 2129 02:15:03.760 --> 02:15:06.239 do I have a favorite? Is it Time Cop? Is 2130 02:15:06.359 --> 02:15:12.680 it blood Sport? The Street Fighter? Maybe blood Sport. I 2131 02:15:12.800 --> 02:15:15.319 wasn't a big Van Damn guy. I was a Schwarzenegger guy, 2132 02:15:16.840 --> 02:15:24.399 Schwarzenegger Stallone, Rambo Rocky Terminator wasn't really a Van Damn 2133 02:15:24.560 --> 02:15:28.079 even Stephen Sigal, Like Stephen Sagal, I mean, there were 2134 02:15:28.159 --> 02:15:31.039 so many campy B movies in the eighties, but like, 2135 02:15:36.479 --> 02:15:39.680 it wasn't Oh God, it wasn't Hunt to Kill Fuck. 2136 02:15:39.760 --> 02:15:41.000 What was the name of that movie he did in 2137 02:15:41.079 --> 02:15:45.760 the eighties? Something to Kill A view Will Kill? No, 2138 02:15:45.920 --> 02:15:52.359 that was fucking James Bond. I kind of enjoyed some 2139 02:15:52.520 --> 02:16:03.800 of those Sagal movies Kickboxer or Double Impact, says big 2140 02:16:03.920 --> 02:16:10.720 g s schwartzen Agre guy. Of course, Oh heart's a 2141 02:16:10.800 --> 02:16:13.640 killed there you go, I said, a view to a kill. 2142 02:16:13.760 --> 02:16:17.079 That was. That was Roger Moore's last James Bond movie 2143 02:16:19.479 --> 02:16:29.000 with Christopher walking under Siege. Yes, actually on the one 2144 02:16:29.039 --> 02:16:32.879 of the quotes that has always stuck with me is 2145 02:16:32.920 --> 02:16:36.959 from under Siege two. There's a scene in the movie 2146 02:16:37.440 --> 02:16:40.319 there's like two bad guys. One works for the bigger 2147 02:16:40.399 --> 02:16:43.559 bad guy, and I think it's the bigger bad guy 2148 02:16:43.600 --> 02:16:47.239 who somebody said something to him like, oh I assumed 2149 02:16:47.399 --> 02:16:49.920 he was dead or I assumes, And he says like 2150 02:16:50.040 --> 02:16:54.559 assumption is the mother of all fuck ups. So true. 2151 02:16:56.079 --> 02:16:57.680 But yeah, I was a schwarzen Ager guy. Man, I 2152 02:16:57.719 --> 02:17:00.440 mean all the movies he did, come on man, Terminator, 2153 02:17:00.559 --> 02:17:04.479 Terminator two, not just the action movies, but like the 2154 02:17:04.600 --> 02:17:10.319 comedies too. Jingle all the Way is timeless. Who doesn't 2155 02:17:10.399 --> 02:17:18.680 like Jingle all the Way? Joseph says Arnold Schwarzeneger said 2156 02:17:18.680 --> 02:17:23.239 he wants to make another Knan movie. Yeah, you know, 2157 02:17:23.559 --> 02:17:25.520 I think he's at the point now where that's probably 2158 02:17:25.600 --> 02:17:33.440 not a good idea v coms clearly solo. Watch your mouth. 2159 02:17:33.639 --> 02:17:38.079 Arnold Schwartz, I'm high, by the way, very high. Higher 2160 02:17:38.159 --> 02:17:44.360 than Travis Scott high. That's pretty fucking high. That's pretty high, dude. 2161 02:17:47.040 --> 02:17:51.159 Don't go too high. You gotta come back down. Joseph Stewart, 2162 02:17:51.239 --> 02:18:02.680 have you seen the movies red Sonya? No? Last action 2163 02:18:02.959 --> 02:18:07.719 hero is underappreciated. I'm more of a kindergarten cop guy. Myself. 2164 02:18:09.600 --> 02:18:13.840 Got any twins guys in here, Danny Devita and Arnold 2165 02:18:13.840 --> 02:18:24.079 Schwartzen name True Lies is a great movie with him 2166 02:18:24.120 --> 02:18:31.159 and Jamie Lee Curtis and Eliza. Eliza Douchkou was the 2167 02:18:31.239 --> 02:18:37.280 daughter in that movie. Gold Matthew Better Match Catalog Sena 2168 02:18:37.440 --> 02:18:40.559 or Hogan saw hul Cogan against the Ultimate Warrior for 2169 02:18:40.600 --> 02:18:43.600 the first time recently four out of or four and 2170 02:18:43.639 --> 02:18:49.440 a half stars best Hogan match besides WrestleMania eighteen. You 2171 02:18:49.719 --> 02:18:54.959 like that match more than me? I'd probably would go 2172 02:18:55.040 --> 02:18:58.760 Hogan Warrior WrestleMania six I mean, especially to a younger fan, 2173 02:18:58.840 --> 02:19:03.840 that match was epic, But as far as like the 2174 02:19:03.879 --> 02:19:07.000 better Match Catalog, I mean, again, what are you talking about? 2175 02:19:07.040 --> 02:19:11.399 Are you talking about like iconic matches. It's hard to 2176 02:19:11.479 --> 02:19:16.280 top like Hogan, Andre Hogan, Warrior, Hogan Rock if you're 2177 02:19:16.319 --> 02:19:21.680 talking like just great wrestling matches. Uh, Sena Sena has 2178 02:19:21.719 --> 02:19:25.959 the better catalog. Joseph Stewart, have you seen the movie 2179 02:19:26.079 --> 02:19:28.920 Cobro with Sylvester Still I did many many years ago. 2180 02:19:28.959 --> 02:19:33.239 I did, Yes, Yes, I don't remember too much from 2181 02:19:33.280 --> 02:19:39.760 it though it was a very long time ago. Tangoing Cash, 2182 02:19:40.120 --> 02:19:44.479 That's that's another favorite of mine. Kurt Russell, Big Trouble 2183 02:19:44.520 --> 02:19:52.680 in Little China, The Thing Snake. Pluskin did a movie 2184 02:19:52.719 --> 02:20:01.040 in ninety seven that I really enjoyed called Breakdown. Like 2185 02:20:01.120 --> 02:20:07.719 that eighties period. Man, you had Stallone, Bruce Willis, Schwarzenegger, 2186 02:20:09.159 --> 02:20:17.559 Van Dam Segal all like during that mid to late 2187 02:20:17.600 --> 02:20:23.600 eighties period that was the peak of the action genre. 2188 02:20:28.600 --> 02:20:39.799 Charles Bronson right Death Wish nineteen eighties. Brigitte Wilson, Brigitte Nielsen? 2189 02:20:43.559 --> 02:20:52.879 Was she the tall one from Beverly Hills? Cop two? Uh? 2190 02:20:54.399 --> 02:21:01.200 Joseph says, have you seen Jean Claude Van Dam's movie Cyborg? No? No? 2191 02:21:01.360 --> 02:21:04.520 But there was the Universal Soldier movie. There was a 2192 02:21:04.639 --> 02:21:08.719 Universal Soldier sequel that had Bill Goldberg in it. In 2193 02:21:08.799 --> 02:21:14.479 the late nineties. Have I seen any of the Chuck 2194 02:21:14.559 --> 02:21:17.840 Norris sip don't forget about him? Have I seen any 2195 02:21:17.840 --> 02:21:22.440 of the Expendables movies? I saw the first one that 2196 02:21:22.559 --> 02:21:32.920 had Steve Austin in it. Yvon Drago's wife from Rocky four, Yeah, 2197 02:21:33.000 --> 02:21:40.840 she was also in Beverly Hills Cop two, Terminator two, 2198 02:21:41.360 --> 02:21:43.920 one of the greatest sequels ever. Terminator two and The 2199 02:21:44.000 --> 02:21:47.280 Godfather too? Right? Aren't those looked at as like the 2200 02:21:47.440 --> 02:21:56.479 two greatest sequels ever? Now? The series Twisted Metal is good. 2201 02:21:57.840 --> 02:22:00.799 I've heard Samoa Joe is very good in it. I 2202 02:22:00.879 --> 02:22:03.280 haven't watched it, but I've heard he's very good in 2203 02:22:03.319 --> 02:22:10.639 his role. Libido Bell Eighties Best Films, nineties Best Shows, 2204 02:22:10.799 --> 02:22:18.360 and two thousand's Best Games. You forgot best music also 2205 02:22:18.440 --> 02:22:26.559 the eighties and best wrestling as well. Eighties had the 2206 02:22:26.600 --> 02:22:32.360 best films, the best music, and the best wrestling. The 2207 02:22:32.440 --> 02:22:40.680 eighties wins. Joseph says, have you seen Showdown Showdown Win 2208 02:22:41.040 --> 02:22:46.440 in Little Tokyo with Dolph Lugren, Brandon Lee and Tia Carrera. 2209 02:22:50.000 --> 02:22:59.280 You mean Showdown in Little Tokyo. I have not seen that. Man. 2210 02:22:59.319 --> 02:23:01.000 Think about it. Back then, like in the eighties, you 2211 02:23:01.079 --> 02:23:06.239 had when they were still strong. Not only did you 2212 02:23:06.360 --> 02:23:09.879 have you know, the WWF, but you had Jim Crockett promotions, 2213 02:23:10.040 --> 02:23:15.840 and you know mid Atlantic and Awa and all these 2214 02:23:15.879 --> 02:23:18.760 different territories when they were still very strong and very healthy. 2215 02:23:22.959 --> 02:23:31.440 That was it, man, that was the shit. Mystic Jay says, 2216 02:23:31.479 --> 02:23:36.280 I think the original Terminator is underappreciated. I don't think 2217 02:23:36.319 --> 02:23:42.239 it's underappreciated. I just think people will probably rank Terminator 2218 02:23:42.280 --> 02:23:45.000 two above the original in some cases. But because Terminator 2219 02:23:45.079 --> 02:23:48.200 two was so great and groundbreaking in terms of its effects, 2220 02:23:49.159 --> 02:23:52.440 it gets talked about a lot more. I don't know 2221 02:23:52.520 --> 02:23:55.239 that anybody has ever really said, oh, the first Terminator sucked. 2222 02:23:55.760 --> 02:23:57.520 It just doesn't get the kind of attention the second 2223 02:23:57.559 --> 02:24:04.600 one does have. I seen the Crow Brandon Lee movie. 2224 02:24:04.639 --> 02:24:07.440 I saw the first Crow. I know there were other 2225 02:24:07.479 --> 02:24:10.680 ones without him. I didn't see those. I was never 2226 02:24:10.719 --> 02:24:16.959 a big Crow guy. Crow's thing, yes, but not really 2227 02:24:17.040 --> 02:24:24.079 the movie. Well, anyway, it's interesting that we're talking about 2228 02:24:24.120 --> 02:24:26.079 this because there's going to be a segment on the 2229 02:24:26.159 --> 02:24:32.239 sound off this weekend. There was a story that came 2230 02:24:32.319 --> 02:24:36.120 out I think it was the Hollywood Reporter ranked the 2231 02:24:36.520 --> 02:24:41.440 top ten wrestlers turned actors and I'm going to go 2232 02:24:41.520 --> 02:24:43.200 through that list and I'm going to chime in and 2233 02:24:43.319 --> 02:24:47.280 comment on it and talk about this very subject when 2234 02:24:47.319 --> 02:24:49.280 it comes to wrestlers and movies. So that'll be on 2235 02:24:49.360 --> 02:24:52.440 episode nine twenty six this weekend. I think many of 2236 02:24:52.559 --> 02:24:54.799 you who are talking about movies right now will probably 2237 02:24:54.840 --> 02:24:58.479 take a great interest in that segment. BCom c clearly, 2238 02:24:59.040 --> 02:25:02.719 who is the least problematic wrestler? My cousin said Sina, 2239 02:25:03.799 --> 02:25:10.360 and I said Danielson. My friend said Okata. I don't 2240 02:25:10.399 --> 02:25:15.959 know about Sena because of the Vince comments. Least problematic wrestler? 2241 02:25:16.000 --> 02:25:20.040 Are we talking least problematic in terms of just how 2242 02:25:20.079 --> 02:25:22.760 squeaky clean they were? And you never heard stories about 2243 02:25:22.799 --> 02:25:28.479 them causing problems behind the scenes because scene is probably 2244 02:25:28.520 --> 02:25:34.479 at the top of the list. You know, most other 2245 02:25:34.559 --> 02:25:38.840 guys you always heard about either they were difficult, they 2246 02:25:38.920 --> 02:25:42.159 played politics, they didn't get along with people, or they 2247 02:25:42.239 --> 02:25:45.520 got in trouble with the law, they did drugs, or 2248 02:25:46.159 --> 02:25:48.000 they would show up to the building late. That was 2249 02:25:48.040 --> 02:25:49.959 like the big knock on Brett. Brett was always late, 2250 02:25:52.879 --> 02:25:56.120 but like Sena never had any any kind of controversy 2251 02:25:56.239 --> 02:25:58.559 like that. It was it was like after he was 2252 02:25:58.639 --> 02:26:02.559 done as a full time wrestler the whole China Taiwan controversy, 2253 02:26:05.200 --> 02:26:12.040 but during his career, I'd probably go see it, go 2254 02:26:12.200 --> 02:26:16.079 back and check out the other content here on the channel. 2255 02:26:16.639 --> 02:26:18.360 A bunch of new clips went up this week. We 2256 02:26:18.479 --> 02:26:20.639 had our Raw review here, the Raw post show on 2257 02:26:20.719 --> 02:26:23.399 Monday night, and I'm going to be back with you 2258 02:26:23.520 --> 02:26:27.719 for the SmackDown post show on Friday. Okay, good, Actually, 2259 02:26:27.760 --> 02:26:33.319 I'm glad I mentioned this. SmackDown on Friday is in Dublin, Ireland, 2260 02:26:34.440 --> 02:26:36.079 and I believe I will be able to watch it 2261 02:26:36.159 --> 02:26:39.479 earlier with my VPNs, so if I do, there will 2262 02:26:39.559 --> 02:26:42.319 probably be an early SmackDown review on Friday night, so 2263 02:26:42.639 --> 02:26:46.280 just watch for that. I may be going live around 2264 02:26:46.319 --> 02:26:50.520 eight o'clock at night, so there will probably be an 2265 02:26:50.520 --> 02:26:54.040 earlier review on Friday. There will definitely be an earlier 2266 02:26:54.120 --> 02:26:58.920 review next Monday, also probably around eight o'clock because that's 2267 02:26:58.959 --> 02:27:01.920 airing live on Netflix at three o'clock Eastern. They're gonna 2268 02:27:01.920 --> 02:27:04.639 be in the UK, but they're in Dublin on Friday 2269 02:27:04.799 --> 02:27:09.399 and John Cena is back talking Logan Paul I guess 2270 02:27:09.479 --> 02:27:12.680 not brock Lesnar. So that is the next time I 2271 02:27:12.799 --> 02:27:15.360 will be live with you right here on this channel. 2272 02:27:15.360 --> 02:27:22.639 He has VP of Alerts, VP of Alerts VPN Alert 2273 02:27:22.719 --> 02:27:27.040 everybody wake up.

And now's a pretty damn good time to do. 2278 02:27:44.600 --> 02:27:48.120 So I'm gonna be pushing that because I'm gonna be 2279 02:27:48.200 --> 02:27:53.559 using it myself. But everything that's coming up so VPN 2280 02:27:53.680 --> 02:27:59.920 is not a new wrestling promotion, that's right, Halla if 2281 02:28:00.000 --> 02:28:06.559 if you hear me, has Danielson ever had any controversy ever? Yeah, 2282 02:28:06.840 --> 02:28:10.360 I'm sure he has. I mean, off the top of 2283 02:28:10.440 --> 02:28:13.159 my head, I can't think of like one major controversy 2284 02:28:13.239 --> 02:28:19.719 that he's gotten himself into, but I'm sure he must have. 2285 02:28:23.120 --> 02:28:25.920 So I'll see you guys on Friday night. Until then, 2286 02:28:26.079 --> 02:28:31.319 be well, stay safe, everyrsells a good night, and come 2287 02:28:31.399 --> 02:28:33.520 on back for a very busy weekend because we don't 2288 02:28:33.639 --> 02:28:37.040 just have SmackDown. We have a podcast on Saturday and 2289 02:28:37.200 --> 02:28:40.680 then Forbidden Door coming up on Sunday. I will see 2290 02:28:40.719 --> 02:28:42.200 you guys there. Take care of guys.
