Speaker 1: On back with you. I missed you guys last Wednesday.
We had no live review last Wednesday, but we are
back this week for aw Dynamite, which I am happy
to say was an improvement over last week. This was
definitely a better show than the one they had last Wednesday.
Still not as good as Beach Break, but it was
better than what we got before. We actually got a
couple of really good matches on the show tonight, including
Darby Allen challenging for the TNT Championship against Kevin Knight.
We also had a tag team match with Brodido taking
on Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchko Okata. We actually had two
more women's segments than we had on Raw Monday nights.
We had a big goose egg on Raw Monday tonight.
We had a go home promo between Willow Nightingale and
Tecla for their Women's World Championship match this Sunday at Redemption,
and we had a no disqualification women's Tag Team Championship
match Megan Bain and Lee Across defending their titles against
the Sisters of Sin, which is more than I can
say for. Again, the women's influence on the show on Monday.
We also had tensions boiling over really for the first
time between Kenny Omega and Will Osprey, and as I
talked about in my Dynamite review. Again, I wasn't live
last week, but I talked about Dynamite on the Sounduff
on Sunday and I said, you know, the catalyst here
to some tension between Kenny Omega and Will Osprey is
going to be John Moxley, you know. I mean, it
only made sense they would use him as a tool
to kind of drive a wedge between the two of them.
And we saw that really blow over for the first
time tonight in this main event, which was Omega, Osprey
and Moxley all on the same side against the Don
Kallis family, and things got out of hand late in
the match, and then after the match, things got out
of hand with all three men, So we'll get into
what happened there. There was some stuff on the show
that didn't hit as well, which included the return of
Switchblade J White. Was really good to see j White
back in the ring in singles action for the first
time in got fifteen months, I believe is what they said.
I just wish it was a more exciting match. I
can't say the match tonight was exciting. Is not a
word I would use to describe the match that he
had tonight with Clark Connors. We have a Redemption pay
per view coming up on Sunday that very much feels
like a filler show. Not that there aren't going to be,
you know, some great matches on the car. There absolutely
will be. Whether or not you think it's worth your
your forty or fifty bucks is going to be a
different story. Or you can go to my AW route
and you can get the show for nineteen ninety nine.
You could always do that. But yeah, we're gonna We're
gonna run down the redemption card a little bit later
on as well. That's coming up on Sunday. This though,
is Wednesday, and it is your AW Dynamite review. It
is July twenty second, twenty twenty six. I am the
Solemn Monster. Like and subscribe. Superchats are open. We got
a brand new one too, got a brand new fifteen dollars.
One could check out the description down below, but to
get the super chats on in I will be reading
all of your messages. I also want to give a
quick plug here for a brand new episode of The
Uncrowned Wrestling Show, which went of yesterday. You could find
it on the Ariel Hilwani Show feed, the podcast feed
that is not YouTube, and I always love getting feedback
from you guys on on Crown. We're also going to
bust out the wheel here and see what our likes
goal is going to be for our be the Booker segment.
We spin the wheel, we find out how many likes
we need as a minimum. That's what we do here
and for tonight the number is three to ninety three
hundred and ninety likes. What do we ad We're not
even at two hundred yet. No bueno, No bueno. So
you guys work on that. We got the goal, we
got the plugs. I think we're good. I think we
can just dive right into I have a feeling this
is going to be an express review. That's gonna be
up to you guys, but we're gonna zip on through
this here. We're gonna start from the very beginning because
we had the announcers on screen ex Caliber running things
down for us here at the beginning of the program,
and we had Kenny Omega, we had John Moxley and
Will Osprey, being billed for the main event tonight. They
were going to be closing the show against the Don
Kallis family, and now we had a backstage segment with
Omega and Osbury appearing together. Osbury pointed out to Kenny
that the two of them were undefeated whenever they teamed together,
and so they were teasing each other about reaching out
during the match when the other one gets tired. All
of a sudden, John Moxley walked into the shot and
very sarcastically said, oh, there's no tension in the room,
and then he walked away and Omega said, well, there
wasn't until he walked in again. That's the role that
Moxley is there to play. Moxley is there to basically
cause problems between the two of them because this brother
brother stuff is not going to be very interesting. We
have many more weeks to go until we get to
London and we need Omega and Osbury to start button
heads and John Moxley is going to be the conduit
to that. But they opened in ring with Kevin Knight,
the man who was in the main event this Sunday
challenging for the aw World Championship. He has a title
of his own, and tonight he was defending that title
the TNT Championship against the former champion two times. I
believe Darby. Allen Renee was at ringside and she brought
up Darby being forced to pull out of last year's
Continental Classic after he sustained an injury. I believe he
was concussed in his tournament match against Kevin Knight. Even
before the bell, Darby just wrecked him with a low
toe pay out of the ring, tossed him into the crowd.
Eventually they made their way back to ringside and the
match finally started ahead of a commercial break. Darby sent
him outside and then he hit him with a coffin drop,
and Darby was getting ready later on in the match
for a scorpion death drop when Knight sent him colliding
into the referee and that sent him out to the floor.
I believe it was Paul Turner, if I'm not mistaken.
So Knight went outside, he grabs the TNT title. Darby, though,
was able to duck the belt shot. He hit the
death drop, and then he took a long look at
the championship. He decided against using it because he's a
good guy. That didn't work. Out too well for Cody
Rhoades oft WrestleMania last year. So anyway, he ditched the belt,
opted not to use it. He went for a coffin drop,
but he got crotched and Knight then blasted him in
the back of the head with the belt, hung him
upside down in the tree of woe. Knight went to
the opposite side of the ring, opposite ends on the
same side, and he connected on a coast to coast. Now,
if you remember when Darby got hurt when he got
his bell rung in the first match back at the
C two last year against Kevin Knight, it was on
that very move. So he hit him with the Coast
to Coast and then he dragged Paul Turner back into
the ring. He landed the UFO splash for the pin
to retain the TNT title. After the match nights out there,
he's celebrating, he's reveling in his win. Kyle Fletcher's music
hits fellow member of the Kallus family. He makes his
way out, followed by Kazuchka Okada. So we had Protokada
coming out to the ring ahead of the break because
they had a tag team match coming up. On the
opposite side of the break. But let me stop there.
So as far as the match itself, I still feel
the same way that I felt last week, and the
way that I felt last week was it would have
made more sense and I think been better. If you
wanted to do Darby Allen against Kevin Knight on this show,
don't bother making it a TNT championship match. Make it
a non title match, put the number one contendership on
the line with the winner going to redemption this Sunday.
I know it would be very short notice, and maybe
they just didn't want to wait until the very last
minute right to announce what their main event was going
to be. Will you do a non title match and
you do Darby Allen, you do Kevin Knight, The winner
gets Kenny Omega in Montreal on Sunday. They opted not
to do that. They wanted this to be a title match.
I guess you know that. I mean, Night was going
to win either way, but this is their way of
giving him a big momentum win. I guess going into
the pay per view, I just think to do it
the other way would have made more sense. But with
Darby losing, question now is do they run this match
back at Wembley. I mean, he lost here, but Kevin
Knight cheated right he hit him with the belt. So
do they run this match back for the time title
in London at the end of next month or are
we looking at some kind of a tag team match now?
There's been all kinds of speculation about mc foley and
is he gonna wrestle at London? They want him, you know,
he wants to maybe do a match on the Big
Stadium show and I really don't have any interest in
seeing that. Darby Allen has said he does not want
to wrestle mc foley ever, but he would love to
team with him. Would they get making the ring to
do a tag team match on that show and maybe
Darby and Mick or a tag team against the Callous Family.
Anything's possible. They could just as easily run this back
for the TNT title. I don't know what they're gonna
do with Darby on that show. That's still five or
six weeks down the road. But for this night anyway,
Darby got his shot and he lost, and so that's
where things stand now. When they came back from the break,
Renee was in the ring, with what looks it looked
like maybe half the Don Kallis family. It most definitely
he was not all the members of the Callous Family.
Let's say half of them. Mark Davis spoke, which is
a rarity we never get to hear him speak on
these shows, and he mentioned laying out Andrade on Collision
last week. So Kevin Knight brought up having the most
consecutive TNT title defenses, breaking Kyle Fletcher's record and how
he did it without the help of the Callous Family.
Fletcher says that Knight thinks he's really impressive. He thinks
he's hot. Shit says, you know what, I hope you
do become Jet two Belts on Sunday. Fletcher said that
he doesn't need help from the Callus family either, and
he's going to make sure that everybody is banned from
ringside when he defends his international title this Sunday against Bandido,
and even better, he's going to have some fun here.
Everyone is banned for their match with Brodido right now.
And he tells Kevin Knight get the hell out of
the ring. He shoved the mic in his chest and
he shoved him backwards, and so then there was another shove,
and the other members of the family had to get
between the two of them to be separated. I like that.
I like that. I think it's okay to have some
tension between the members, you know, when the competitive juices
start flowing, and if it ends up with another member
or two being sacrificed and leaving the Callus family, I'm
all for that too, because we all know that as
soon as you get one member gone, there's going to
be two more that get added. It doesn't really matter
in the end, you know, it's basically addition by subtraction
with this faction. But it was Kyle Fletcher and Kazuska
Okada against Brody King and Bandido. Hey King, Solovon in
the chat, I love you too, brother, thank you my friend.
So we had two great teams here in this match.
I mean, what kind of match do you think they had.
It's Brody King, Bendido, Kyle Fletcher and Ocada. I mean
they would be incapable of having anything other than a
very good match at the very least. Late in that match, though,
Okada went for a rain maker and Brody ducked and
Okada took out Fletcher with the rain maker by accident.
Oh Okatta then turned right into a rolling elbow and
a topey outside from Brody. Bandido tried for the twenty
one plex to Fletcher. He got him up, he dropped
him with it. He folded him up and he pinned him.
His challenger got the win. He got the drop on
Kyle Fletcher here. Tonight after the match, Fletcher got into
it with Okada. He got up in his face. He's screaming,
this is your fault, and he had to be held
back by Mark Davis and Lance Archer. Okada meanwhile basically
just bailed up the ramp and so Broddo. Now they
were alone in the ring. They were outnumbered and the
Kallus family was closing in. We heard androdel Itelo's music
hit and he ran out to even up the score
as the family thought better of it. So look we
got great stuff here in the ring from these four.
Broddo is always great. They're such a great team. Better
to give ben Dido the win here, though, as they did,
since he going to be getting one on Sunday. At
least they gave him the win here, and they did
the finish in a way also that puts more heat
on Okata and Fletcher, which is going to be important
when we come around to London next month because I
still think we're getting a three way. I think Ocatta
is going to be I mean, he almost has to
be involved in that match, you know, when Takeshta comes back,
all three of them in the ring together at Wembley
International Title, that's the match we're looking at. And so
they were able to work the finish in a way
that kind of pushed that further along, which I liked.
And the tension again with the two of them is
only going to continue. I don't know when Takashta will
be back on TV, may not be until a couple
of weeks I think is when he's due back a
couple of weeks before all. In speaking of Mick Foley,
I mentioned him a moment ago. McK foley comes out
and he got a nice ovation. I don't know that
the people in the building necessarily expected him to be there,
but he made his way out onto the ramp and
he was there to moderate a face to face which
took place on the stage and not in the ring,
A face to face between the two women who were
going to be wrestling for the Women's World Championship. This Sunday, Tecla,
the Toxic Spider the Champion was out first and her
challenger Willow Nightingale. So Tecla was out there calling herself
Tecla two belts because she had the AW Women's World
title around her waist, and then also around her waist
just above the AW title, she had her Artist of
Stardom belt that she won on Saturday with Sky Blue
and Julia Hart. That's the trio's belts stardom. I'm over
the whole two belts thing. By the way, if I
never hear this two belts thing from anybody in wrestling
like for a long time, I'll be okay. We have
Kevin Knight, of course, who's gonna beat Jet two belts?
After Sunday, we have Tekla two belts. We've had a
bunch of people the two belts in ww like. I
don't need it anymore. We don't need any more two belts.
I'm good with it for a while. Willow said that
it's great not only to see Mick, but everybody here
tonight in Nashville, even you Techla. She says that there's
only one match standing between her and her dream and
she's gonna take the world championship on Sunday. So Techla,
she says, she knows Willow is made up of rainbows
and chirping birds, but she's talking to the toxic one.
If she doesn't buy any of that, smile anyway, crap.
She says, Willow is poisoned inside, so she's going to
beat the poison out of her so everyone can see
how ugly she truly is. Willow says, everyone knows this
toxic act as a facade. Tekla may have swagger, but
she's just a shortcut for Willow to get her belt
at Redemption. So Foley had a step in between them,
and I'm like, I'm watching this and good on Mick.
By the way, he's clearly, you know, dropped a lot
of weight, and it just seemed to be like he
was going to be very easily bowled over if things
got a little out of hand here with these two women,
that he was potentially in jeopardy of being dropped here.
I'm like watching this and I'm like, what's he going
to do. He's getting in between them to try to
hold them back. I'm like, what is he going to do?
He's not going to do anything, but he says he
sees himself in Willow. They are both or we're both
champions on TBS. Both have taken beatings but smiled through it.
Even if Willow had more teeth in his her mouth
than he did in his, Tecla told him to shut
the hell up. Willow said, look, I'm fed up with
your disrespect. She called Tecla a dumb bitch. Tecla couldn't
believe that she stole her line, but she says, on Sunday,
when she's standing over her beaten and bloodied with her
dreams pissed on, just remember smile anyway. So Techla slapped
her folly again, got in between them, and I think
Techla was using him as like a human shield, and
Techla got a cheap shot in with the microphone. So
they ended up in the ring. Tecla, she's flipping off Foley.
She's holding up both of her belts. So Techla took
her belt off her regular belt. She was gonna whip
Willow with it. Instead, Willow pounced her right out of
the ring and that was the end of that. The
challenger stood tall here, which I don't know. I don't
know if that bodes well for Willow on Sunday. I'm
still sticking with her as my pick. Though I thought
this was fine. I thought this was good. It was
good to get the back and fourth between them. The
fact they did it on the stage and not in
the ring. I mean, who cares. It's fine, it's just
something different, and I thought, you know, again, it was
it was good. I sometimes I watch. First of all,
I love Techla. I think Techla's great sometimes in these promos,
though I don't know if she's trying too hard. I
don't know, I don't know. It's like sometimes it's okay
to have more of a regular promo. It seems like
the volume with her is always up to like an eleven,
So maybe dial it back a little bit, maybe every
now and then. I think could probably benefit her in
these types of segments. But I think she's great. Willow
is just a great babyface. She's a great babyface. I
think that she's gonna be the one walking into London
is the champion. But if Techla order somehow still walk
in as the champion, it's not like I would mind
it or be upset about that. I just think that
everything has been positioned from the big surprise return in
the Gauntlet match to her getting this shot on this
show for a reason. You know, I don't think it.
I don't think she was being reintroduced just to go
in there and lose on Sunday. And there's still speculation,
and I look, I didn't buy into it at first,
but there could very well be something to this that
she was never really hurt. You know, they wanted a
way to get the TBS title off of her without
beating her so they could get her prepped and ready
to win the world title. And that may well be
the case. I still think that the odds are in
her favor on Sunday, and then in that case, what
Tecla does at all in I just hope she's on
the card, you know, if she's not going to be
in the championship match, I don't know if they're going
to be having a casino gauntlet for both the men
and the women or just the men. You know, there's
a gauntlet match. She could be in the gauntlet. She
could do something with the Sisters of Sin. I don't know.
I haven't thought too much about what Tecla would do
in the event that she drops the belt on Sunday.
Hopefully I'll have a decent role for her, But I'm
just I'm still stuck on that Willow and Mercedes match.
I feel like that's the one that we're looking at.
We got a video package for Hikarushida against Maya World
for the TBS title of Redemption this Sunday. Maya looking
to win her first championship in aw Schida says that
it will continue to be the best. Is Shidah seeing
TBS and they made the announcement that Maya and Willow
are going to team up to take on Tecla and
Chidah on Collision. This Saturday, we had Switchblade Jay White
in his first singles bout in fifteen months, taking on
Clark Conners. So let me say this, I am glad
to see j White back in the ring. I'm glad
to see him healthy again because for the longest time
he wasn't and he was just sort of out of sight,
out of mind. He's had a couple of different injury
setbacks in his time in ADW. This match, though, was
a slog to sit through. I'm sorry this match never
got out of first gear. It didn't help that Clark
Connors was in control for like eighty percent of it.
It felt like this was this was a tough one. Here.
Connors rolled out of a blade Runner attempt into a
roll up with a handful of tights, only for two.
He tried for a spear, ran right into a guillotine
choke though, and White rolled into a bridge and cranked
back on it, and he got the submission. A new finish,
not that the blade Runner is gone, but he's incorporating
something new in as a finish here. After the match,
Connor's attacked. He ended up eating a blade Runner anyway,
David Finley came out, he blasted White with the Chiallely juice.
Robinson sprinted to the ring with the Bang Bang Gang.
Finley and Connors they bailed out through the crowd. This
was not great. Was not great. I won't say it
was terrible. It was just kind of there. It's the
best way I could really describe it. But again, it's
good to see j Why back in the ring because
he was gone for so long. And I would imagine,
you know, when it comes to London next month, I
could see them doing a singles match with him and Finley.
They're not doing it on Sunday. In fact, they made
the announcement in the back later. Juice Robinson was there
with the rest of the members of the Bang Bang
Gang and he had a chain and he pitched the
idea of chaining the dogs up to the Bang Bang
Gang at Redemption, and he basically made the challenge to
what I believe is a tag team match, him and
Jay White against Finley and Connors for what he called
a double chain match. Now, he never used the words
dog collar because as soon as I saw the chain,
I just assumed this was gonna be a dog collar challenge. Right,
They're facing a team that literally is called the Dogs.
It would make sense if they wanted to use the
dog collar stipulation. They went out of their way not
to say the words dog collar. So it sounds like
it's just going to be a chain match, a double
chain match. Maybe it's more like a strap match, only
with chains instead of a strap. But I don't think
that they're going to be bound by the neck or
anything like that, or they will, but I'm just saying
in this case, they didn't mention that. So there's your
ninth match. Now we have nine matches confirmed for the
pay per view on Sunday, we had Adam Copeland and
Christian Cage backstage starting a promo. They didn't get too
deep into it when they were attacked by Claudio Castignolium
Pack of the Death Riders who are going to be
challenging for the championships. On Sunday, Copeland was he had
his head placed down on top of a production case
and Pack was standing on top of the case. He
came in. He gave him a curb stop on top
of the case, and then he asked, you know, do
you think that you can walk with the death Ride?
That it was going to be a cakewalk. They've bitten
off way more than they can chew. He and Claudia
are going to remind them on Sunday exactly what the
Death Riders are capable of. And they're going to ruin
their homecoming in Montreal, even though they're not from Montreal.
But I guess any Canadian it's a homecoming when you
head back up north. It doesn't matter if it's Winnipeg,
it doesn't matter if it's Ottawa, it doesn't matter if
it's Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Saskatchewan. There's that Canadian Pride, So
it doesn't matter where you're from, what province you're from.
It's a homecoming for Kenny Omega, it's a homecoming for
Christian Cage, and it's a homecoming for Adam Coplan and
the Death Riders are going to ruin the homecoming, except
you and I both know that that's not going to happen.
This is a bump in the road until we get
to the real match, which is going to involve the
Young Bucks and who knows, potentially another team that we're
not seeing on TV yet, but at the very least
the Young Bucks. We're getting the Young Bucks and Coping Christian.
They're gonna build that thing up as a dream match,
a dream match that you never thought you would see
first time ever Wembley Stadium. It's gonna say it on
the Marquee Claudio Impact. They have one job on Sunday,
to literally do the job and that's it. Speaking of
tag teams, after this, we had the aw Women's Tag
Team Championships on the line. Divine Dominion, who I have
to say, they have a pretty cool entrance, so they
have these giant screens on either side of the entranceway
and on one side on the video wall, you have
Leana Cross speaking cutting a promo. On the other video panel,
you have Meghan Bain speaking cutting a promo. Then they
sort of turn inward and walk in and then they
actually walk out from the entranceway. I like that a
true tag team. I hate to say, the best thing
that could have happened was the fact that they came together.
It wasn't planned. Penelope Ford got hurt. It sucks that
that happened, and wherever she is, hopefully she's either recovered
or nearly recovered. The team, though, was Megan Bain and
Penelope Ford. Ford got hurt. These two ended up being
paired off. This is a much more natural team. I mean,
they just walk out there and it just it's such
a natural fit. So anyway, they walk out and they're
defending their tag team titles here against the Sisters of Sin,
Sky Blue and Julia Hart, two heel teams. Heel against Heel.
This was a notice qualification match that was made after
the Sisters of Sin threw out the challenge on collision.
They had just won titles in stardom, they wanted more gold,
so why not they threw out the challenge to the
Women's Tag Team Champions. So the challenger is attacked right
away with Kendo sticks. I mean that gives you a
sense of what kind of match we were looking at here. Yeah, yeah,
Roderick says, the female Skyscrapers. That's exactly what they are.
They walk out there a lean across, Leanacross is tall,
Lean Across. I really like Lenacross, Leanacross is great. But yeah,
just again the aesthetics of it, just when they walk
out side by side like that, It's true. It is
like a female version of the Skyscrapers. They's just a
much more natural fit the Megan Bain and Penelope Forwardward.
Early on, we got some friendly fire. Julia had Meghan
lined up for a screwdriver shot, but she ended up
hitting Sky Blue with it by accident, which busted her open,
not too badly, but she was bleeding. It looked like
maybe from the hairline. We see a table set up
on the ramp. Bain is standing on top of two chairs,
and we end up getting a double team power bomb
from the Sisters of Sin to Megan Bain through the table.
Later on, both teams they grabbed their respective title belts,
Julia and sky They missed when they went for belt shots,
but they countered a double supplex attempt into a double
DDT instead. Heart and Baine. They fought off on the floor.
We see Lena is set up on the top rope
and sky Blue fights her off. She hits the cheeky
Nandos kick. So sky is gonna go to the apron
and she wants a superplex. This table set up outside
the ring. She's gonna be looking for a superplex. Megan
comes over though, and she choke slams her off the
apron and down through the table goes sky Blue. Sky Blue,
by the way, she lives for this shit. If you've
heard her talk before in interviews or whatever, like that
hardcore style, you know, getting all bloody and everything. I mean, look,
go back to blood and guts. What was it the
first ninety seconds of the match. She's bleeding a gusher.
So she lives for this kind of stuff. This is
right up her ally. So she took this big bump
through the table outside and so at that point, Julia
hard is back in. She sinks in the black Widow
submission on Megan Bain. Bain fought Free basically just swung
her up into position for a tombstone pile driver and
then crossing Bain, they delivered there from Heaven to Hell
double chokes lamp for the Wind to retain the titles.
They worked hard to try to make this as physical
as possible and really feel like a battle. I mean, look,
at the end of the day, it was your typical
Plunder match. We see them every week. There really was
nothing that set this one apart from all the other
ones that you've seen. If you've seen one, you've seen
them all. But they were out there working their tails
off to try to make this more than just your
average match. It came off as one of the tougher
challenges that Bane and Cross have had. And they're run
together as tag team champions, but we're all just waiting
for the obvious match in London. This is all building
to the brawling birds Jamie Hayter, Alex Windsor. They're going
to get their shot at all in and they will
be the ones in the rain of the of the
Divine Dominion. This is kind of where we are right now,
where there's a series of matches that we can see
off in the distance, and it's very unlikely, barring injury,
that there's going to be any detour for any of
these matches pulling off the road. So all we're doing
here is we're just we're trying to stall and kill
time until we get to the matches that we know
are coming. I mean, that's really where we are. They
could put these two women in the ring with anybody.
Nobody will believe that they're dropping the belts to anybody
other than the brawling birds. And it's felt that way
for a couple of months now. It's not like they
just became number one contender and or you know, this
all just became some big revelation. We could see this
coming from five miles away. I'm not sure who else
they would even be working with. Frankly, in the meantime,
they'll have a series of random matches, maybe a couple
more title defenses, but we all know the match that
we're gonna be getting soon. Apparently I should mention this. Apparently.
Japanese Twitter Stardom fans on Twitter Stardom Twitter, they are
obsessed with Julia Hart. They love Julia Hart. Now the
sisters have sinned, well, the whole triangle of madness or
just in Japan again. They won the Trios belts in stardom. Julia, though,
is taking part in the Grand Prix, so she's on
her way back to Japan. It's almost like a little
mini excursion that she's going on, very much like Anna
j Anna j also participated in the Grand Prix a
couple of years ago, went to Japan, worked there for
a while, like a matter of weeks, and then made
her way back. So Julia Hart is on her way.
I hope that she can level up her game because
more so than sky Blue, you know, I watch Julia
in these matches and she's like the weak link out there.
I think something like this could turn out to be
a good thing for her, you know, her going over
to Japan and working with the folks over there that
may yet do her some good. That would be my hope,
you know, with her going over there. But again, you
take one gander on Twitter and she's she's very popular.
It's not hard to see why, but she's very popular.
And in the main event, we had the aw World
champion Kenny Omega teaming up with his all in opponent
Will Osprey and the Continental Champion John Moxley to take
on the Don Kallis family, which in this In this
example was the CMLL world champion Hetchesero, Brian Cage, and
Jake Doyle. So the story here, John Moxley didn't want
to have anything to do with Kenny Omega. Kenny Omega
didn't want to have anything to do with John Boxley.
They didn't want to tag into each other. They were
avoiding it. Ospbrey finally he urged Omega tag him in,
and so finally he relented, didn't look very happy about it,
kind of rolled his eyes, but he tagged him Boxley.
So the Kallus family they isolated Moxley for a while.
He recovered, he made a tag to Osprey. Doyle knocked
Moxley off the apron and took down Omega, so the
Heels were in control heading into the final commercial break.
No twenty minute overrun tonight, by the way, which was
very nice. I didn't get to watch the show live
last week, but apparently there was a twenty two minute overrun,
completely unnecessary. Osprey made a comeback. I had to make
a choice, now who do I tang? So he chose Omega. Enough,
that's right, enough of this crap, Hey Barry MK Barry says, enough,
it's that brand new fifteen dollars super chet. Barry, thank you,
Barry coming in the clutch. Look at that. Barry says, enough,
is Julius still married? I don't know what you're asking
me for that? The hell should? I know you're asking
the wrong guy. I don't know what her marital status is,
but I'm sure if you go and ask Japanese Twitter,
they could probably clue you in. So anyway, he chose
Omega to tag in, and that'll be something to watch
if Moxley brings that up. You know the fact that
Osprey did not tag him in, but he tagged in
Kenny instead. Omega hit the forward roll into the slam
and then the moon salt on Brian Cage only got
a two count out of it. Hatchiso tagged, then he
applied a whole series of submissions. Omega was crawling towards Moxley,
but he couldn't make it. Moxley, though, jumped into the ring.
He starts stomping on Hetchisera. Osprey flew into the ring.
He took out Hetchisara and then Moxley hit a cutter.
Osprey dove out onto Jake Doyle at ringside and Omega
delivered a suplex to Brian Cage with a little help
from John Moxley, but then Omega caught Moxley with an
accidental V trigger. The accident was it the accidental knee strike?
Osprey went to go check on his fellow death Rider.
The Heels triple teamed Omega until Osprey made the same
they tried for. I believe it was a double doomsday
device on Omega and Osprey. Moxley, though, knocked Hetchisaro off
the ropes Omega and Osprey. They delivered a V trigger
and hidden blade combo to Hetchisaro and they pinned the
CMLL World champion. This was the biggest surprise of the
entire match, the entire show, Perhaps that it was Hetchisara
who took the pin here and not Jake Doyle. Jake
Doyle was spared, but they pinned the CMLL champion. AW
would never, aw would never. The shoe was on the
other foot never. So after the match, Omega handed Moxley
the continental title. Right, everything seemed to be okay with
these men. Tried to apologize, I didn't mean to hit
you with that V trigger earlier. Moxley didn't want to
hear any of this. He shoves him. Omega shoved them back.
We got a face off between the two of them.
Now Osprey's got to get in between them to try
to separate them, and Omega, in the huff of everything,
shoves Ospray down. So now Osprey gets back up to
his feet. He's not happy. He's getting up in Omega's
face and everything is breaking down. Here come the young
Bucks down to the ring. Try to play peacemaker. Moxley
shoves down Matt Jackson. Now they're all fighting. We got
Moxley and Osprey are wrestling the Bucks on Sunday, So
the four of them are going at it. Kenny Omega's
looking at this going oh my god, and he's trying
to get in between all of them and trying to
put a stop to all this. Doyle got in the ring.
Doyle came up from behind Kenny. I don't know what
he was. I don't know what the plan was here.
This came off very awkwardly. The Doyle really needed to
play any role in this. Because Osprey's back was turned.
He threw a back elbow, not realizing that he had
hit Omega with it. Maybe maybe Doyle was out of position.
I don't know. I just thought that whole sequence was
a little weird. So he got hit with the accidental
back elbow from Osprey, and all of a sudden, Trent
Peretta and Rocky Romero randomly come down to the ring,
and of course they get their asses handed to them
by Omega, and they're both in the ropes, like draped
over the middle rope. Omega is setting up to hit
the ropes and come off with a couple of V triggers.
As he hits the ropes and he comes off, Kevin
Knight flies. I don't even think he was on the
top rope. I think he flew in from the ramp.
They had this short ramp to the ring and from
off cameras, so we couldn't see exactly where he was,
but it looked like he'd dove from the ramp, cleared
the top rope and just blasted Omega right in the
head with the TNT championship and he busted him open,
so a belt shot right to the top of the skull.
Knight held up the TNT title and the AW World title,
and the show faded out with Kevin Knight holding both belts.
Over a bloody Kenny Omega RPG weis or the new
Patterson and Brisco. Well, Patterson and Brisco were far more entertaining.
I mean, you can't, you can't compare them. I don't
want to be here in the comparison there. Maybe a
Jane j Security might be a more apt comparison. Neither
were as entertaining as Patterson and Brisco. It was, it
wasn't It was quite the dive, I will I will
say that visually it looked great because he just came
flying in from out of nowhere and looks like he
may have blasted him in the head of the belt
a little too well. But anyway, so it was Kevin
Knight standing tall. At the end of all this. They
had to do something, you know, to give Night an
edge heading into the main event on Sunday, because he
has no chance of walking out as the world champion,
and the best that you would hope for is that
he goes in there. They have this incredible main event
that just solidifies him in the minds of people who
maybe are still doubters as to whether or not Kevin
Knight is a future main event or in this company.
Right Tony Kahan decided we're going to put him in
this position. Of all the options or matches they could
have potentially gone with here, this is the one that
he chose. Why Why Well, I mean we kind of
know why if fight Full is to be believed, and
there's no reason not to believe Fightful. There was a
report earlier today, and this was actually a reported days ago,
but there was a new report that MJF was the
driving creative behind the idea of having Kenny Omega defend
the World Championship on this pay per view against Kevin
Knight in the main event, and the report noted that
MJF had long wanted whoever held the TNT championship to
challenge Kenny after Kenny beat him for the world title. However,
the idea wasn't tied specifically to Kevin Knight. Fightful Select
reports that mjf's vision centered on the TNT champion filling
that role regardless of who held the title at that time,
and that's all well and good, and obviously MJF is
a very influential voice. Tony trusts him. He's one of
the few real draws that Tony Khan has in that
company and I'm sure his voice carries a lot of
weight and he can give his input and that's great.
I maintained that it was foolish to not do that
match on this pay per view, on a show called Redemption,
with the story being built up in the way that
it was. And again, it just it tied into this
show so well and so perfectly and in Canada for
Kenny to go in there and get his redemption. This
gave Kenny a few extra weeks his champion. He hasn't
defended it yet. This is gonna be his first title
defense on Sunday. All it did was just it prolonged.
It was not prolonged, but I mean it kind of
gave us the inevitable a few weeks early. But I
think that the timing of it and the location of it, it
would have been so much better. It made so much
more sense to do it this Sunday. And now they
know they they may shoot some sort of angle at
the end of the show that will tie into this
whole omega Osprey Moxley thing. Maybe we see them make
it appearance at the end, and if they could further
that story for all in that's great. I still maintain
it was a mistake. It was a mistake not to
do Omega and MJF on this show, because that would
have been the big main event on Sunday in the
right place, at the right time. I don't care whose
idea it was. I think that was a mistake, not
that these two were not going to go out there
and have a great match. But that's not the point.
That's not the point. We know they're going to have
a great match. I know that Kevin Knight has main
event potential. I don't need AW to try to convince
me of that. I've seen the guy work. I know
what he's capable of. Clearly, Tony Khan is very high
on him, has been since the Continental Classic last year,
just given all the TV time he's gotten the position
that he's been in. That's why I said, like before Dynasty,
when they had the Gland match to crown the new
TNT champion, I think I was the only one who
even threw Kevin Knight's name out there. I didn't see
anybody else mentioned Kevin Knight. I'm like, it's gonna be
Kevin Knight because Tony Khan is super high on this guy,
and so he went in there and he won the
TNT Championship. It wasn't a surprise to me. If you've
been paying attention since December, then you would know that
they see a lot in him. And that's great. Not
that he's the only one. Kyle Fletcher is another. I mean,
you can go down the list of all the different
you know, takeshta Fletcher Night. I mean, there's a bunch
of guys that they are banking their future on in
terms of young talents, and it's great. They have this
nice like nucleus of young talent and Kevin Knight is
right there near the top, and he's gonna have plenty
of opportunities. I don't know that it had to be
this Sunday. The fact that he's going to go in
there and lose, that's not even the point, you know,
because you can get over and still lose, like at
the end of the day, that's not even that big
of a deal. But this idea that you know, he
wanted the TNT champion to go in there and you know,
be the one to wrestle for the world title. Why
you know we've seen this before. Why the desire to
go back to this again? But anyway, As far as
the main event itself, I thought it was solid. Yeah,
nothing great. We've had better main events on this show.
It served its purpose, which was to further the issues
between Omega and Moxley and in turn Omega and Osprey
heading into London. We're going to see a lot more
of this in the weeks to come. Right, people talk
about story. This is the story. Everything that's happened since
Osprey came back, it's all part of his story. His
story was getting his neck broken last year, fighting through it,
coming back, wanting to in his own words, when he
came back, murder John Moxley. He was gonna murder this man.
And not only did he not murder him, he lost
to him. And so he was like a lost puppy.
He didn't know, like he had no sense of direction.
And then they started this whole like the Death Riders
taking him under their wing, and it's all built up
to this moment here where now John Moxley is in
the middle of this right. As I said earlier, he's
the conduit to the tensions that are going to begin
to flare between these two men, and then coming out
of all in if you assume that Osbury is going
to win the championship. I still think Moxley will be
right there, you know, to be that first challenger, because
why wouldn't he be right Why wouldn't Moxley want to
step in and get a shot at that title. I
still maintain that's still the final test, you know, getting
that win back over John Moxley. It's all been part
of Osbury's story since he came back. So anyway, that
was dynamite tonight again, an improvement over what we saw
last week. By no means their best effort of the year,
but we had a couple of really good matches on
the show. We saw in the main event, again furthering
that story. And now we have this Redemption pay per
view on Sunday, which is in Montreal seven pm Eastern
start time. So Tony bumped the start time of the
show up by an hour because these shows are just
fucking ridiculous. The last one was just beyond ridiculous and
we went to a one o'clock in the morning. It's
completely unnecessary. So bumping it up by an hour will
help alleviate that a little bit. I hope that becomes
the norm six pm start time for the buy in
on the buy in. Apparently they are celebrating eighty years
of the Rougeau wrestling dynasty. So Jacques Roujeau and I
think Raymond Rougeau other members of the family will be there.
I'm sure Jacques will enjoy every moment of it. He
loves he loves being in the spotlight. Here's the card
for the main pay per view. Here we have the
Death Riders. John Moxley and Will Osprey are going to
be ticking on the Young Bucks Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson.
I'm going with the Bucks to get the win here.
It's more interesting if Osprey and Moxley take the loss,
and if the Bucks are going to be challenging Cope
and Christian, they should get the win. Here we have
the pain Maker. I'm sure this is going to be
a bloody, brutal affair. Tamaso Champa is quaking in his
boots as he prepares to step into combat with the
pain Maker. Chris Jericho. This should be a win for Jericho.
Jericho had sand thrown in his eyes in their first
match of Beach Break and he lost. I think he
gets his win back here. Watch for the power Drill
Hikarushida will retain her TBS title over my World. I
don't see a title change there. Cage and Cope defend
the AW tag team titles against Claudio Impac. That'll be
a win for Copeland and Christian in Canada. Mark Davis unfortunate.
I think we have come to the end of his
singles title run. Perhaps his only well hopefully it won't
be his only one. I really like Mark Davis. Look,
I wouldn't mind seeing him one day with the international
title or the TNT title. But he's going to be
defending the national championship against Andrede l Edelo. I suspect
we are going to have a new champion. Kyle Fletcher
will defend the International title against Bandido all members of
the Kallis family by his own word tonight ban from ringside.
It will not help. Bandido will go down just as
he did to John Moxley Forbidden Door. He's going to
take the loss again here. Tekla Willow Nightingale aw Women's
World Championship. To me, this one would be the toughest
match to predict on the show. If I had to
pick one match that I would look at and go
you know, what. I'm not one hundred percent sure about this.
This would be the one I'm gonna stick with Willow.
This really could go either way. I don't think that
they would bring Willow back in the way that they did,
just to have her go in here and lose a
lot of fanfare around her return. Very very suspect the
way they got that TBS title off for her without
beating her. I think it's because they had a bigger
plan in mind for her, and the biggest thing you
could do with her is have her go into London
as the champion against Mercedes. I think we're gonna have
a new champion and Kenny Omega will defend the aw
World Championship and retain against the TNT champion, Kevin Knight.
That is your main event. That is your card for
redemption this Sunday. I will be live for this one
on YouTube when it's over, so we'll have the live
review going on Sunday night early Monday morning. That is
the card. The Wheel earlier said three point ninety was
the goal. We are at three seventy four, so we
are what sixteen away? We're only sixteen off from the goal,
so let's work on that. I'm gonna work on your
super chats. They're super ccien Sina. Look that he's powering up. Hey, Greg,
welcome to the channel. Look at this Joe Hendry. He
gets more airtime on my channel than he does on Raw.
He popped up early. We've had some new subscribers tonight.
We're climbing very close by the way to ninety three
thousand subs. I think we're less than fifty away. Joseph,
Happy Wednesday to you, brother, and he says Happy Birthday
to Sean Michaels. Yeah. How old is hbk? Now? Too old?
I think to be singing that theme song anymore. He
hasn't been the Heartbreak Kid in about twenty five years,
for being honest, Maybe not twenty five, maybe fifteen. What
are your thoughts on the clay Face trailer. I loved it.
I loved it. I winced. I had to look away
in the airplane bathroom scene when he pulled the scissors out.
Can't wait. It's hard to believe that's the DC movie.
Do you remember WWE making an Undertaker comic book series
during the Attitude era. It had Mankind and Caine as
the villains. I do not I remember the Ultimate Warrior comic.
I don't remember that comic. The back Ache Kid just
added a ladder match. What are you talking? What ladder match?
What are you talking about? Joseph says Bo Dallas's ninety
days is over tomorrow. Will we see him in AW
or do you think he is done with wrestling? Do
you see him coming back to WWE in the future.
I mean, I can't speak to what his future plans are.
I don't think we see him in AW. I'll just
say that first much better chance, if anything, if he
wants to continue wrestling, we see him in TNA, We're not.
I don't think we're going to see him in AW.
Do I see him going back to WWE? Probably not.
You know, this was what his second or third stint,
But I definitely don't see him in AW. Tony has
enough WWE people that are going to be free shortly
who he'll have a greater desire to bring in than
Bo Dallas. If Bo Dallas wants to wrestle, though he
could do indies. Like I said, TNA could be a
good landing spot for him. AW is not going to
be that place. Do you remember Sting had his hair
in a Ponytail when he was in the wolf Pack.
I do it was brief though, right, I think that
was only for a brief period of time. Yeah, Ponytail
sting was not my favorite version of sting. How would
you have booked wrestle many a two thousand of Austin
an undertaker had wrestled on the show. Well, I wouldn't
have had him against each other. I would have had
them doing other things. Austin probably would have ended up
in the four Way. Why didn't we get hurt angle
against Rampage Jackson in TNA? I don't know, asked Dixie,
asked Dixie Carter. I have no idea. Do you remember
Bulah McGillicutty from ECW? Of course? How can I forget?
And do you remember Raven's ballet? Kimona Kimona Wanna, Yeah,
yes I do. I remember when she danced atop the
ECW arena. I believe there was a like a blackout
or something and they had to kill time, so they
sent Kimona sent Kimona up there to do like a
strip tease. It's DCW for you. D you see Tekla
being a crossover star in Hollywood or other? No? I don't.
Masters of the Universe is out on Prime. There you go.
There's your public service announcement from Joseph if you want
to see Masters of the Universe. I enjoyed it. I
thought it was good. You can watch it on Prime.
It's out right now, Hey, Joseph, thank you. Brother death
Site says on SmackDown, I'm expecting Sammy Zaan to confront
Nick all This and say, Nick, you better make this right.
Otherwise I'm going to forget that you're my boss. Well, then,
I guess after Summer Slim, Nick all This will have
a second match, They'll have a second opponent to work with.
Sammy is absolutely owed a championship match, and I think
he should get first crack coming out of Summer Slim.
It's the only fair thing to do. Dry Chicken says,
I checked out some clips of WWE Unreal Season three.
My reaction is four letters, one word neat. I'm just
going to start saying the word neat when it comes
to WWE. Yeah, I watched episode one. I haven't had
time for the others. I'll get to it when I
get to it. It was more important for me to
watch Dark Side of the Ring, which I enjoyed. So
we'll have that latest review coming up on Sunday. Stephen
b oh actually dry Chicken says, I love Tekla. She's
such a villain from the nineties. Tecla just she understands
her character and she's very good at it. We have
Stephen say, my Giants and your Mets are the worst
teams ever. Yeah, I mean the Mets are garbage. Why
you would play Brett Bady in the outfield when he
fucking sucks and he's not an outfielder, but you put
him out there anyway, and so of course he's bobbling
balls and this team doesn't know what they're doing. It's
just the gang that can't shoot straight. I just I
don't understand it. It's like it comes so effortlessly. I
don't think they could be this bad if they tried
to be this bad. It just comes naturally. Devin framje
buy or sell which Canadian great wrestler was or is
a worse promo? Kenny Omega or Chris Benoit. Yeah, I
mean they were both not great promos. Who is the
worst promo? Omega? Ben While at least there was an
intensity to his promos and his delivery and a seriousness
to it that I struggle with in a lot of
Kenney Omega promos. San Juan Wolf, I hope you're having
a great day, he says, Today's my twenty eighth birthday,
and it's been awesome so far. I just wanted to
pop in and say hello, Well, I'm I'm happy that
you're having a great birthday, and I wish you a
very happy birthday. Here's the twenty eight more times five.
I hope you get everything you want. Barry, thank you
for the fifteen breaking. In the new super Chat, Barry says,
I wish TNA did better against Raw in twenty ten.
There was a lot of bad but TNA was a
more interesting show than Raw at the time. Dude, it
was a predictable disaster. You don't go head to head
when you are ill prepared and don't have the finances
and the resources to go head to head. They did
to predictable results. They shot themselves in the foot, and
they didn't have to do that. But there were people
there who had visions of days gone by dancing in
their heads, not realizing that that time had come and gone.
You were never going to be able to replicate that
and we have now? Is it Simon Simon Elijah? I
hope I'm saying your name right. Simon s im An
Yo Solo have been a big fan since the early
twenty tens. Who would, in no particular order, be your
top five wrestlers of all time? Mine is Brett Hart,
Stone Cold, CM, Punk the Rock, and HBK. I don't
really have a set list off the top of my head,
but I could tell you that Brett Hart and Randy
Savage are on the Certainly as a kid, Hogan would
have been on there. Austin, I think that's a safe choice.
Very few people had the swagger of Steve Austin when
the glass would shatter and he would come walking out.
They're airing this twenty four hour round the clock Summer
Slim Marathon on the Vault Channel, so I just popped
in earlier just to see what was on. It was
the Actually it wasn't the event they were playing. It
was like behind the scenes Summer Slim moments, but they
showed the entrances for the Highway to Hell main event
between Stone Cold and the Undertaker, So like Undertaker comes
out first and then they kill the music and they
let the tension, build and build and build, and then
finally boom, the glass shatters. And they had for his entrance,
they had this thing just like of glass with like
a skeleton on it, and it just shatters, and then
he comes sauntering on out, just with that fucking attitude
about him. It'll never be another. There'll never be another.
So what I say is that five or four? I
think I gave you four. I don't know you accurd Angle.
I would rate him pretty highly. It's it's just it's
tough to narrow it down to just five. But good
to hear from you. Brother. EJ. Slam drove home from
Milwaukee listening to Uncrowned and Brett's audio book. You mentioned
Siva Afy slash Shaft, then Brett did too. I never
heard of him crazy timing. Yeah, that's eerie, that is
very eerie. But yeah, I talked about the death of
I didn't talk about it on the sound of but
I'm Uncrowned. I did a little segment at the end
about in WWF on TV he was actually Cbaffy, and
I mentioned some very interesting facts about Cbaffi, especially his
post career. So you can check out Uncrowned for that
and the Uffman says, six way ladder match? What for redemption?
We already had nine. We already had nine with the
Dogs match. Now there's ten. A six way ladder match
Jack Perry Commander Speedball, then the winners of ar Fox
against Nick Wayne and Leo Rush against l Clone on Collision.
That's five. You said it's a six way ladder match.
That's only five. You're missing one. I'd love to see
Leo rushwin that. I'm a big fan of the black Heart.
In fact, the black Heart is coming to House of
Glory in a few weeks and he's going to be
wrestling on that show. Well, I guess we have nine
matches confirmed, and I'm sure they'll be there'll be ten
or eleven at the end of everything, because they'll probably
add some to the pre show, although I guess if
they're doing that rouge out thing on the pre show,
they may not fit as many matches in there. I'm
sure we'll get to ten matches. He's not going to
be able to help himself. Well, there you go, all
caught up on your messages, all caught up on the
latest updates. Oh okay, Buffman has an update for us.
The six men in the ladder match. Beast Morte's of
course beasts more because they're in Canada. We haven't seen
Beast Morteas on TV because he's probably having visa issues
in Canada. The visa issues don't apply, so he can
appear all right, so Beast Mortos that is in. I
still would rather see Leo Rushwin. Hoffman says for the
number one contender, shit for the international title. So the
winner of that match is going to wrestle Kyle Fletcher.
I presume that would be a dynamite match and not
not the all in match. Obviously nitty gritty with a
four ninety nine. Weiss uploaded the Samoa Joe necro Butcher
episode of Dark Side of the Ring. Yes, I noticed
that this morning. It's apparently they're gonna be doing that
for every episode, which is fucking awesome. They should have
been doing that from the beginning. I think they finally
realized they were losing the war against people pirrating the
full episodes of the show, so I'm very happy to
see that first thing. On Wednesday mornings, they're putting the
full episodes up. That's great. So yeah, if you want
to check out the full episode, you can go ahead
and check it out. It's up on the Vice YouTube
channel right now. Next week, I believe, is the Big
Boss Man episode of Dark Side of the Ring. We
got Misfit Wrestling podcast that with the twelve dollars Learning
Tree says, I'll just say this, just don't be surprised
if an emergency live stream is announced by Marigold in
the next few hours, and if there is, you'll know
exactly who it's for. I mean, you wouldn't be happy
to you wouldn't happy to be talking about It's just
a guess. EJ. Slimp coming in with a four ninety
nine says, two years ago, my White Sox were the
worst team in baseball history. Now they're in first. It
can change for the Mets in a year or two.
Keep the fit in a year or two. You don't
how many years I've been hearing this. Well there's always
next year. Sure, I wish I could be as optimistic
as you. But congrats, though, that's very impressive that it'd
go from the worst team in baseball history to being
number one is a very impressive turnaround. All right, Well,
we hit the main goal, so we get one round.
Here be the booker. Thankfully, the wheel landed on a
more reasonable number tonight that was three ninety I believe
we're a three ninety four, three ninety five. So with
that in mind, let's go ahead and be the booker.
Ladies and gentlemen. Now, let's do it to be the booker.
Let's do it and get the hell on out of here.
We got three match the book and I want them
to be good, good matches. See see, Tony, you don't
need nine, well you need are three really good ones.
We have the Dirty Heels from Impact Wrestling, Bobby Rude
and Austin Ayres. I was a fan of the Dirty Heels.
I like them as a team, and they will be
wrestling and losing to the two man Power Trip Stone
Cold Steve, Austin and Triple H against the Dirty Heel
My God, Bobby Rude and Triple H in the ring together,
Triple H and cosplay Triple H as some people used
to call him, especially when he had the hair that
was a thing for a while, Triple H Junior Triple
H Cosplay. On the lady side, we have Zaria from
NXT and she will be taking on Alisha Fox. Alisha
Fox or I guess as she would be in TNA
these days, Victoria Crawford. That's a no for me. And
there goes the sweep wish it happy trails, there it
goes and our main event. The man who was in
the main event tonight on Dynamite, John Moxley. You would
never know that he was part of the Shield. He was.
They tried their best to cut him out of all
those Shield video packages they did this week for the
Roman and Seth stuff. He still worked his way into
a few of them, but they tried their damnedest to
cut him out of it. You would never know. It's
as if he was never part of the Shield. The
Shield was a two man crew. So we don't hide
him here. There's no there's no editing or blurring of
John Moxley. He's going to be in the main event
against El Grandi Americano og Americano. I have to be
very specific, O g El Grande Americano Gable against John Moxley.
Would have been a fit. If it was Alicia Fox
against Molina, well they're both in there could have been.
It could have been Malina against Alisha Fox. That was
Cameron's favorite match of all time. Remember Cameron to the
funk of dactyls Arianne that was her favorite match, and
stone Cold was just he was floored when she said
this on Tough Enough floored. I tell you he couldn't
believe his ears. Warhawk Rambo with a five. I know
the pain. I am a Commander's fan, and Dan Snyder
as an owner sucked. We are better now. Don't give
up hope. It just seems to get worse and worse
and Misfit Wrestling podcast Dan Housen sadly cannot uncurse the Mets.
They are uncursable. Yeah, I feel like if he, uh,
if he tried to uncurse the Mets, it's it's impossible.
It can't be done. I think he tried earlier this year.
It didn't work. It didn't take the first time. Dry Shacken,
says Zaria against Victoria Crawford. Japanese commentary. Japanese commentary is great.
There were a lot of times I would watch those
Wrestle Kingdom shows and I would intentionally watch with the
Japanese commentary on. It's just yeah, I don't understand what
they're saying, but it's the enthusiasm, especially you get into
the waning minutes of like a big main event, and
they're just so excited. You could just you could feel it.
It's just that energy is there. You know, I don't
even need to understand what they're saying. Wrestling is its
own language that in certain situations, even if you don't
know the words, you know what they're saying without actually
knowing what they're saying. S fallen with a five. Been
a subscriber for five years and I haven't donated in
two or so. Needs to change. I agree, Thank you, brother,
It's good to hear from you. Pop in more often.
At least city Field has great stadium food. Solo they
got Shake Shack Man, Hey, shake Shack's got good food.
I haven't been to city Field though in a while.
It's been a couple of seasons. If they gave me
a reason to go back there, I would go. Lucky
Dog in the chat says that's why I love watching
Ricky versus Tiger Mask in Japanese commentary, it is the best.
It really is, man, it's infectious. Well, thank you for
hanging out with me. Here for another dynamite stream, very
very succinct here not even ninety minutes. See, I got
you in. I got you out. I am going to
get you back here with me, hopefully on Friday night
for the SmackDown stream. I have a feeling this is
where tensions boil over between CM Punk and Cody Roads.
We have two very similar stories going on at the
same time right now in both companies, two babyfaces in
Omega and Osprey, tensions are boiling over. And then on SmackDown,
two baby faces in punkin Cody with tensions boiling over.
What was it like going to Shae Stadium? Back then?
Shae Stadium was a dump, but it was our dump.
I had a fondness for it. I started going to
games at Shay Stadium when I was a wee little lad.
I still have my nineteen what year was it eighty seven?
My New York Mets nineteen eighty seven or eighty eight,
eighty seven eighty seven year book? Still have it. Gary
Carter was my favorite, Please was a catcher? Gary Carter
was my favorite Met. And then Darryl Strawberry got a
lot of great memories. Hey, Michael Darcy coming in with
a twelve dollars learning tree, trying to get the last
word in here. Look at that. I'm gonna Gi him
a little little heart there a little heart emoji from
the Solen Monster. Michael says, my power just went out,
So here's the learning tree. Oh shit, that sucks. I
guess you're on your phone. Well, hopefully it comes back on.
I don't know where you are, but hopefully you're not
somewhere where it's really hot and you have no air conditioning,
because that's the worst I've had that before. We've had
some famous blackouts here in New York City in the summer.
Not fun Chicago for MBK. Look at this guy dropping
a gifted membership on a very lucky person, Clint Hardy.
Clint was gifted a membership by Chicago for MBK. You'd
love to see it, EJ with the four ninety nine.
I've been to twenty ballparks. City Field had the friendliest
usher I've ever met as a New Yorker. Would you
rather have gone to Ebbits or the polo grounds Ebbitts?
I wish I could have gone to abbots Field Kitty
ushers at city Field they're also very nice. Hey, I
got to go to the SkyDome when it was still
the SkyDome. Now it's Is it still the Rogers Center
or did they change the name again? I went it
was still the SkyDome. It was only five years after
Hogan Warrior. I went to a CFL game Toronto Argonauts game.
I still have my ticket. Stuff very cheap to get in.
T KO would be appalled at how cheap those tickets were. Wow,
the d lock Lockyer car. Gary Carter is my all
time favorite baseball player. Yeah, he was my favorite. Mat
It's still the Rogers Center. Okay, good they didn't change
it to uh Guaranteed rate Field, which apparently now is
just rate Field. What well? He at least the White
Sox are number one. I guess right, So it doesn't
doesn't really matter. Oh man, WWE fans wanted WrestleMania at
Yankee Stadium, and I don't think it's a good idea. Yeah,
WWE at city Field would be kind of interesting. City
Field actually had a wrestling show there that I went to.
Basically it was an independent event. This was a number
of years ago. They had a bunch of big names
on there. Scott Steiner, Goldberg was there. God that this
was right after Scott Steiner got that. Was it a
back tattoo or I think it was a chess tattoo.
And even from where I was sitting, like, I mean,
you could see you know what it reminded me of.
It reminded me of venom. It looked like the SYMBI.
It was like taking over his body. I'm like, what
the fuck is that? Michael Darcys's power is back, Thanks Solo.
I don't know how you did how you did it? Well?
I look, I work my magic man. Sometimes I just
have to think of something and it just happens. I
can like will it into existence. It was a chest yeah, okay,
it's a chest tattoo. It was to hide his pack.
Why would he want to hide his pecks? Though? Pexer
sagging is now what happens while that comes with age
and then he can buy a man's ear or bro
either day. Either name works. Didn't TNA have a few
shows at Cityfield at city Field now EJ wwwf used
to have shows at Shay Stadium, not the old Yankee Stadium. Right, Yeah,
they ran Shay It's a famous show from Shane in
nineteen eighty. Actually they had a Hogan Andre match and
I believe the main event was Sam Martino and Larry Zubisco,
said Awa used to run the old Kamiski Park, but
not Wriggly because Vern was smart. Well, he wasn't so
smart that he kept Hogan. He allowed Hogan to become
disgruntled and leave, and that was an all time fumble
by verne Ganya that Hogan may have left anyway, e
Vince came calling, but we'll never know. Have I seen
maple Leaf Pro Wrestling. I've seen. I saw some of
their earlier shows, none of their recent stuff. I love
the fact they had they had Morrow on commentary. I
think with Callous, I think that's great, and they've got
a very impressive roster. I got to meet Scott de
Moore backstage in Vegas at the Pearl because they had
a bunch of different shows were running at the Pearl Theater.
House of Glory had the last one that night. One
of them may have been Maple Leaf and Scott was
hanging around on headset even during you know Hog in
the back, so I got to meet him. Very nice guy.
TNA never should have let him go. It's another fumble
on their part. That show took place eleven years ago,
and I recall seeing clips of it on social media.
City Field did have a pro wrestling show, and that's
the same show that you mentioned. I need to go back.
I need to go back find the SoundOff where I
talked about it as I went to that show, and
I'm sure I spoke about it on the sound off.
I try to remember all the details about who put
that what promoter put that show together. I just offhand,
I don't recall all the details. And did I see
the new Clayface trail? Yeah, somebody asked me that earlier.
I saw it as soon as it dropped earlier today.
And it's even better than the first one. First one
was more of a teaser. First one was like a
minute long. This one's like two minutes and it's really
really good. October twenty, third week before Halloween it comes out.
I will be seated. DC Comics does body Horror. I
saw someone say that it looks like the male version
of the Substance. I still haven't seen the Substance with
Demi Moore. I think that won some awards too, didn't it. Yeah,
I'm gonna have to check that out at some point.
How do I maintain my sanity while watching WWE barely? Honestly,
it's because of what I do here. It's a great
creative outlet for me to vent, talk about what I like,
talk about what I don't like. You guys get to
share your opinions and thoughts, so I know I'm not
completely going out of my mind when I say that
something is shit. At least I know I'm not the
only one who feels that way, and so it's good.
It's good to have that kind of engagement and interaction,
an outlet to opine on various things. If I didn't,
I don't even know that I would bother anymore, honestly
with it. You know, what would be the point? It's
just so far removed from what it used to be.
But you wait for those special moments and matches that
kind of make it all worth it. We just don't
get enough of them anymore, you know. They don't come
around as frequently as they used to. All Right, I
will see you guys on Friday for the SmackDown post show,
and then this weekend is a busy one. We have
a brand new SoundOff coming up on Sunday, episode nine
seventy three, and then the Redemption live stream after the
pay per view coming up on Sunday night. Go back
and check out the Uncrowned Wrestling show from yesterday and
anything else you may have missed. We got the raw
post show up on the channel here. We had Tuesday
Night Titans over with JD on his channel last night.
We had a great discussion about various topics, plenty of
content for you guys. Be well, stay safe, and I
will see you back here for smack. Until then, take care, guys.
