Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / AEW Dynamite 4/22/26 Review | Darby Allin's FIRST DEFENSE As Champion And WHERE TO NEXT?
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What is going on? Guys? It is another Wednesday Night.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Aew Dynamite review for April twenty second, twenty twenty six.
- 0:10Speaker 1: I am the solom Mons, through which you already knew
- 0:13Speaker 1: because you saw the logo in the corner of the screen.
- 0:17Speaker 1: I'm in a little bit of a better mood than
- 0:19Speaker 1: I was a couple of hours ago, because it looked
- 0:21Speaker 1: like the Mets were trending towards another loss, which would
- 0:25Speaker 1: have put them at OH for their last thirteen. As
- 0:30Speaker 1: it is, they went OH for their last twelve. But
- 0:32Speaker 1: I am happy to report they have snapped the losing streak.
- 0:36Speaker 1: And see, I would like to think that my little
- 0:38Speaker 1: voodoo trickery last night on TNT had a little something
- 0:42Speaker 1: to do with their luck. Changing had my little voodoo
- 0:45Speaker 1: doll and I was doing the dance. Who the fuck knows.
- 0:49Speaker 1: All I know is that they won. They beat the
- 0:51Speaker 1: Twins three to two, so maybe they could try to
- 0:54Speaker 1: turn things around. I mean, I know it's the Mets,
- 0:56Speaker 1: so I mean, I'm not gonna hang my hat on that,
- 0:58Speaker 1: but at least they picked up a win. You know
- 1:01Speaker 1: who else picked up a win tonight? Darby Allen. Darby
- 1:05Speaker 1: Allen is the new AW World champion. I wasn't here
- 1:07Speaker 1: last week. Of course, I wasn't here last week, so
- 1:09Speaker 1: when I'm not here, big things usually happen. I'm here
- 1:13Speaker 1: basically all the time, but the one time I'm not
- 1:15Speaker 1: here we get a rare world title change on TV,
- 1:20Speaker 1: so I didn't have a chance to talk about it. Actually,
- 1:21Speaker 1: the first I really talked about it was yesterday. I
- 1:25Speaker 1: talked about it on The Uncrowned Wrestling Show, which you
- 1:27Speaker 1: all should be listening to. Talked about it a little
- 1:30Speaker 1: bit on TNT last night, but not here on the stream.
- 1:32Speaker 1: So I just wanted to address this before we get
- 1:34Speaker 1: into all the things that happened tonight on what I
- 1:37Speaker 1: thought was a strong show. I enjoyed Dynamite tonight, but
- 1:40Speaker 1: I went back after I came back from Las Vegas,
- 1:43Speaker 1: and I wanted to watch the entire show from start
- 1:47Speaker 1: to finish because I had the title change spoiled from me,
- 1:50Speaker 1: which I figured it would be. So I knew that
- 1:54Speaker 1: Darby won the championship, but all I knew was that
- 1:57Speaker 1: he beat MJF in two minutes. He squashed MJF basically
- 2:02Speaker 1: to win the AW World title last week, and my
- 2:06Speaker 1: first thought was again second time in the last three
- 2:11Speaker 1: months that the world champion has been squashed on television.
- 2:17Speaker 1: One time, you can make the argument for if you
- 2:19Speaker 1: have a good enough reason for it. Twice in three
- 2:22Speaker 1: months is not something that I would be doing. But
- 2:25Speaker 1: I want to go back and watch the entire show,
- 2:27Speaker 1: see how it was promoted, and see how the whole
- 2:30Speaker 1: thing played out. And I thought they did a good
- 2:35Speaker 1: job in terms of that key story last week. Opening
- 2:40Speaker 1: the show last week with MJF and Darby in the ring,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Darby cutting this impassioned promof he didn't even know he
- 2:48Speaker 1: was going to be defending the title. See, he was
- 2:50Speaker 1: already in a bad mood, and they were going to
- 2:53Speaker 1: do it right at the beginning of the show, and
- 2:54Speaker 1: then they said, well, Tony Kain is going to give
- 2:56Speaker 1: MJF until the end of the night, so that way
- 2:59Speaker 1: there can be no excuses and he can go in
- 3:02Speaker 1: there and he can defend his championship. And they had people,
- 3:06Speaker 1: you know, really hyping up Darby, you know, good luck
- 3:09Speaker 1: tonight in there against MJF. And they brought Sting in
- 3:12Speaker 1: for the show. And as soon as I saw a Sting,
- 3:15Speaker 1: I said, well, if I was watching the show live,
- 3:17Speaker 1: it would have been obvious at that point that Darby's
- 3:19Speaker 1: not losing this match. You know, they're Ineffett Washington, they
- 3:23Speaker 1: flew sting out there for it. He's not going out
- 3:26Speaker 1: there and losing. And then they do the actual match,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and what I said said last week is that Darby's
- 3:34Speaker 1: probably gonna win, and he's going to either win with
- 3:37Speaker 1: a headlock takeover or he's going to counter out of
- 3:39Speaker 1: one when MJF tries for one, because it only made sense.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I mean, the history with these two guys goes back.
- 3:46Speaker 1: It predates AW, it predates their first match in twenty
- 3:51Speaker 1: twenty one. This goes back to their time on the
- 3:53Speaker 1: Indies together where MJF used a side headlock takeover to
- 3:57Speaker 1: be Darby Allen. He went to go use one and
- 4:01Speaker 1: Darby was able to counter out of it. He gave
- 4:04Speaker 1: MJF a little taste of his own medicine with a nutshot,
- 4:07Speaker 1: and he gave him not one, not two, not three,
- 4:11Speaker 1: four coffin drops and then picks him up and pins
- 4:16Speaker 1: him with a side headlock takeover. Now, if Darby Allen
- 4:19Speaker 1: was ever gonna win the AW World Championship from this man,
- 4:22Speaker 1: it can only be one way. There had to be
- 4:24Speaker 1: a side headlock takeover for the sake of long term storytelling.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Just that alone, there had to be a side headlock takeover,
- 4:31Speaker 1: so I thought that was clever. And then they trod
- 4:34Speaker 1: all the roster members out for the big celebration. Sting
- 4:39Speaker 1: comes out and he celebrates with Darby's like, Darby's like
- 4:43Speaker 1: a son to him. I was joking last night on TNT,
- 4:47Speaker 1: I said that backstage segment when Sting was really trying
- 4:49Speaker 1: to hype him up, Darby looked like he was so nervous,
- 4:53Speaker 1: and Sting was like, no, it's not showtime, it's your time.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Now get out there and show everybody what you can do.
- 5:00Speaker 1: And Darby went and walked off, and I said, it
- 5:02Speaker 1: looked like a father who was trying to calm his
- 5:06Speaker 1: son down, who was very nervous going into school on
- 5:08Speaker 1: his first day of class, and he sends his son
- 5:11Speaker 1: into the school that get in there and you know,
- 5:13Speaker 1: you do the thing. That's what it kind of came
- 5:15Speaker 1: across as to me, father and son. It was a
- 5:19Speaker 1: nice moment, the celebration everything at the end of the show,
- 5:22Speaker 1: the fans cheering, all the guys, you know, the baby
- 5:25Speaker 1: faces in the rings celebrating. We've seen moments like this
- 5:28Speaker 1: in wrestling over the years, even with world title changes
- 5:31Speaker 1: on TV. It's been done before. This is not something
- 5:34Speaker 1: that we've never seen before. And I know that there
- 5:37Speaker 1: was a lot of divided opinion, a lot of negative
- 5:39Speaker 1: opinion when it came to what they did. Having watched
- 5:44Speaker 1: the entire thing from start to finish, I thought they
- 5:47Speaker 1: did as good of a job as you could do
- 5:49Speaker 1: with it, considering how sudden it all was. My issue
- 5:53Speaker 1: with is twofold number one. I again, the idea of
- 5:56Speaker 1: squashing MJF that way, beating him that easily. Don't want
- 6:00Speaker 1: to use the word squash. That's fine, that's what it was.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Doing it twice in three months. You shouldn't be doing that,
- 6:05Speaker 1: all right, that's number one Now. It's not going to
- 6:08Speaker 1: kill MJF. He's not buried. Oh MJF is buried. If
- 6:11Speaker 1: all the people on that fucking roster who can absorb
- 6:13Speaker 1: a loss like that and not be buried, believe me,
- 6:15Speaker 1: MJF is that guy. But I wasn't a fan of that.
- 6:18Speaker 1: And also Darby for all the years he's been in
- 6:21Speaker 1: this company. My issue with them putting the title on
- 6:24Speaker 1: him now isn't just that MJF was on this great
- 6:28Speaker 1: role and had all these challengers lined up as champion,
- 6:32Speaker 1: but Darby just coming into this has not felt as
- 6:35Speaker 1: cold as he does right now, Like there are periods
- 6:38Speaker 1: of his career in aaw where he was a much
- 6:41Speaker 1: hotter babyface, and you can make the argument that maybe
- 6:43Speaker 1: now is the time. Right now is the time too,
- 6:45Speaker 1: if you were ever gonna put the title on this guy,
- 6:48Speaker 1: do it now. This didn't feel like the time, but
- 6:51Speaker 1: they picked the right city for it because they were
- 6:53Speaker 1: in his backyard, so of course everybody was going nuts
- 6:55Speaker 1: and they were chanting his name. The reality is that
- 6:58Speaker 1: when even though he may not be as hot of
- 7:00Speaker 1: a commodity as he has been at different points in
- 7:02Speaker 1: time to their audience, he's still one of the more
- 7:06Speaker 1: over popular babyfaces in the company. And you see the
- 7:10Speaker 1: celebration at the end of the show last week, and
- 7:12Speaker 1: it made for a great moment. MJF comes out this week,
- 7:16Speaker 1: as he did on social media all week, and he's
- 7:19Speaker 1: just livid. I mean, he's just going off on Darby.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Give me my belt back, You're a fucking thief. You
- 7:24Speaker 1: hit me in the dick, right, I'm going to sue
- 7:27Speaker 1: you and all this other nonsense, because that's what you
- 7:29Speaker 1: would expect him to do. That's what I mean, Like
- 7:32Speaker 1: it's in the long run, it's not going to hurt him,
- 7:36Speaker 1: especially because Darby ain't going to have that title for
- 7:39Speaker 1: very long. If you believe the Darby Allen is going
- 7:41Speaker 1: to be walking into, for example, Wembley Stadium this summer,
- 7:45Speaker 1: or frankly even forbidden Door as the AW World Champion,
- 7:50Speaker 1: it ain't happening. I think most of us can look
- 7:53Speaker 1: at this and see it for what it is, which
- 7:56Speaker 1: is a way to hot shot the belt onto Darby,
- 8:00Speaker 1: give him his run, kind of get it over with
- 8:03Speaker 1: and get that belt back on MJF as soon as possible.
- 8:06Speaker 1: And if that's the goal here and MJF is gonna
- 8:09Speaker 1: get the belt back in a month anyway, no harm,
- 8:12Speaker 1: no foul. I always said, when Darby Allen wins the
- 8:15Speaker 1: AW World Championship, he's not gonna reign for very long.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Like Darby is not gonna ever be that guy who's
- 8:21Speaker 1: gonna go six months or a year, because the essence
- 8:24Speaker 1: of Darby as a character on this show, the essence
- 8:27Speaker 1: of who he is, he crashes and he burns, there's
- 8:32Speaker 1: no off switch. Think of when he had the TNT championship.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I think it might have been the second time. He
- 8:38Speaker 1: was defending that fucking belt every single week until he
- 8:41Speaker 1: burned out and he lost it. So it's not gonna
- 8:44Speaker 1: be any different now. We see his first title defense
- 8:48Speaker 1: already tonight, and he's already got a second one lined
- 8:50Speaker 1: up next week. This man is going to crash and burn.
- 8:53Speaker 1: It's not a matter of months. It's a matter of weeks,
- 8:56Speaker 1: and MJF will get his belt back and nobody will
- 8:59Speaker 1: be talking about this a month and a half from now,
- 9:02Speaker 1: and it will not take away from the moment. If
- 9:04Speaker 1: say MJF goes to all In this summer and loses
- 9:07Speaker 1: the championship in the main event to someone like oh,
- 9:09Speaker 1: I don't know, will Ospray, people aren't going to look
- 9:13Speaker 1: at that and go, man, you know, this would have
- 9:15Speaker 1: been so much better if MJF didn't drop that bell
- 9:17Speaker 1: for six weeks to Darby Allen, Like, give me a
- 9:20Speaker 1: fucking break. So, watching the way that they did it,
- 9:25Speaker 1: I wasn't as against it as I initially was, just
- 9:29Speaker 1: when I initially heard the news, but still beating MJF
- 9:33Speaker 1: in the way that they beat him in two minutes.
- 9:37Speaker 1: That's not something I would have done coming off what
- 9:39Speaker 1: they did with Brody King a few months ago. But
- 9:42Speaker 1: that brought us to tonight. This was Darby Allen's first
- 9:45Speaker 1: week as the AW World Champion. This was their first
- 9:49Speaker 1: title defense here for Darby and he was putting that
- 9:52Speaker 1: title on the line against Tamaso Champa in the main event.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And what a main event they had. These guys went
- 9:58Speaker 1: out there for god, what was it, seventeen minutes? Eighteen minutes.
- 10:02Speaker 1: They gave them some time and they had a killer
- 10:05Speaker 1: main event. Before we got to the main event. I
- 10:08Speaker 1: was looking there was a match tonight between Will Ospray
- 10:10Speaker 1: and Mark Davis. That was my match of the night
- 10:12Speaker 1: until Darby and Shampa went out there and did what
- 10:15Speaker 1: they did, and then they cleared the Osprey and Mark
- 10:18Speaker 1: Davis match. But we had two killer matches on this show.
- 10:22Speaker 1: We had the main event, which then set up Brody
- 10:25Speaker 1: King as the next number one contender challenger what have
- 10:28Speaker 1: you for the AW World title on the show next week,
- 10:32Speaker 1: So that train keeps going. Darby's going to be defending
- 10:34Speaker 1: that belt every single week. And we also had will
- 10:38Speaker 1: Ospray and his bad neck out there against Mark Davis. Now,
- 10:42Speaker 1: if you've watched these reviews or listened to these reviews,
- 10:46Speaker 1: you know that I had become a fan of Mark
- 10:47Speaker 1: Davis over these last few months, and that was not
- 10:50Speaker 1: the case six months ago. Six months ago, Mark Davis
- 10:54Speaker 1: was Okay. He's that guy in the Don Kallis family
- 10:57Speaker 1: who is sort of you know, he's kind of lost
- 11:01Speaker 1: in the shuffle there because he had a tag team
- 11:03Speaker 1: partner and now he doesn't. And even in January they
- 11:06Speaker 1: gave him another tag team partner, and then he got
- 11:09Speaker 1: hurt and I'm like, man, this guy can't catch a break.
- 11:12Speaker 1: And in between that Davis got hurt, he was just
- 11:15Speaker 1: a background player in the Kallus family that they could
- 11:18Speaker 1: throw in there when they needed a guy to go
- 11:20Speaker 1: in there and lose, and that was it. But over
- 11:23Speaker 1: time he's actually dropped some weight too. But over time
- 11:27Speaker 1: he goes out there and he just has these really
- 11:29Speaker 1: fun kind of brawling type matches. And I don't know,
- 11:33Speaker 1: there aren't too many people on that roster, or at
- 11:36Speaker 1: least anybody that's pushed that they have like that. That
- 11:40Speaker 1: just comes across as like a almost like an old
- 11:42Speaker 1: school kind of brawling type. Everybody has their flashy fucking
- 11:45Speaker 1: moves and their dives and everything else that they do,
- 11:47Speaker 1: and that's not really his style. So I've become a
- 11:50Speaker 1: fan of his work because he's put together this string
- 11:52Speaker 1: of just really fun matches, none more so than tonight
- 11:56Speaker 1: against will Osbry, who also has put together I mean,
- 12:00Speaker 1: no surprise it's well Osprey, but has also put together
- 12:03Speaker 1: a string of very good matches on TV recently. You
- 12:06Speaker 1: put the two of them together, no surprise, they went
- 12:09Speaker 1: out there and they had an excellent match. So to me,
- 12:11Speaker 1: those were the two highlights of the show tonight. They
- 12:13Speaker 1: also set up a TNT championship match for next week's show.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Two title matches next week Darby and Brody King. But
- 12:21Speaker 1: also MJF is going to be challenging Kevin Knight, and
- 12:25Speaker 1: that one's a little a little suss to me, considering
- 12:28Speaker 1: we know what title MJF is going after. Why are
- 12:31Speaker 1: they diverting him to another championship. But they've already set
- 12:34Speaker 1: up two big title matches for next week, And also
- 12:37Speaker 1: on this show tonight, Brody King had a match earlier
- 12:40Speaker 1: in the night and he wrestled Leo Rush. The Leo
- 12:43Speaker 1: Rush has. I believe this was a character that he
- 12:47Speaker 1: portrayed at one time previously. I believe I could be
- 12:50Speaker 1: wrong about that. Even still, there has been no explanation
- 12:55Speaker 1: on this show anyway as to why all of a
- 12:58Speaker 1: sudden Leo Rush has lost his mind. He looks like
- 13:02Speaker 1: Dollum when he comes out, and he's muttering to himself,
- 13:06Speaker 1: and he's got the wild eyes, and he's kind of
- 13:09Speaker 1: galloping around like some kind of weird creature or demon
- 13:12Speaker 1: of some kind. And I'm watching what he's been doing
- 13:16Speaker 1: off and on because we don't get to see him
- 13:18Speaker 1: on Dynamite very often. It's mostly collision or ring of honor.
- 13:22Speaker 1: And it's different enough that it's growing on me. It's
- 13:27Speaker 1: kind of like a fungus. It's growing on me, and
- 13:31Speaker 1: I can appreciate how he is throwing himself into this
- 13:34Speaker 1: just wacky character. I believe that we still it would
- 13:38Speaker 1: be nice if we had some explanation through vignettes or
- 13:41Speaker 1: whatnot as to why all of a sudden he has
- 13:44Speaker 1: descended into madness or descended back into madness. We haven't
- 13:48Speaker 1: had that. It was like a switch got flipped and
- 13:50Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this guy's out of his mind,
- 13:53Speaker 1: but he's out there, he's wrestling Brodie King, and I'm
- 13:55Speaker 1: enjoying the character work that he's doing because he's throwing
- 13:57Speaker 1: himself into this thing. And again, it's differ frint enough
- 14:00Speaker 1: on a show where I think it can be hard
- 14:03Speaker 1: to be different because everybody wrestles the same everybody they
- 14:07Speaker 1: have just very similar styles. A lot of the guys
- 14:10Speaker 1: on the show look very similar, not everybody, but it's
- 14:14Speaker 1: good to try to be different. Sometimes it works out,
- 14:18Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't. This is just creepy and weird enough
- 14:21Speaker 1: to me to where I'm intrigued. And so it was
- 14:24Speaker 1: nice to see him get some shine on Dynamite because again,
- 14:26Speaker 1: we usually don't get to see him on this show.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And as far as the rest of what we had,
- 14:30Speaker 1: there was a women's match that was a little choppy
- 14:33Speaker 1: in a couple of points. Otherwise I thought that was decent.
- 14:37Speaker 1: The other stuff on the show was decent. It really
- 14:39Speaker 1: wasn't anything out of you know, excellent, like out of nowhere.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Samoa Joe is back, which is nice. He's been in
- 14:47Speaker 1: Concussion Protocol for a while. It was great to see
- 14:49Speaker 1: Samoa Joe back. So it was an easy two hours
- 14:52Speaker 1: for me to watch. I think they had a hard
- 14:54Speaker 1: cut off at the top of the hour because I
- 14:55Speaker 1: believe they're taping Collision for this weekend as we speak.
- 15:00Speaker 1: No big overrun tonight, which is great because we didn't
- 15:04Speaker 1: really need one. But when it was over, I liked
- 15:06Speaker 1: the show. I was a fan of this week's episode
- 15:09Speaker 1: of Dynamite. I thought it was a strong show. Moved
- 15:12Speaker 1: some other things along the death riders. I mean, we'll
- 15:16Speaker 1: get into what happened when the Ospbury match was over.
- 15:18Speaker 1: We'll get into everything here, but this is your Dynamite
- 15:20Speaker 1: review here again. It is April twenty second, two thousand
- 15:23Speaker 1: and twenty six. I am the Solomn Monster. I want
- 15:26Speaker 1: to before I go any further, I have to thank
- 15:29Speaker 1: everybody because earlier today we did indeed pass ninety two
- 15:35Speaker 1: thousand subscribers here on the channel. We hit ninety two
- 15:39Speaker 1: k faster than I thought we would, which is very
- 15:41Speaker 1: encouraging as we climb now towards ninety three and then,
- 15:45Speaker 1: I mean, you know where we're headed here. It's going
- 15:46Speaker 1: to take a while, but you know where we're headed.
- 15:48Speaker 1: In ninety two. I mean, it was a great year
- 15:50Speaker 1: in ninety two. So anyway, thank you for helping me
- 15:53Speaker 1: get there, and let's keep climbing. So if you're not
- 15:56Speaker 1: subscribed already, hit that sub button, hit that like button
- 15:59Speaker 1: as well. We're going to spin the wheel here momentarily
- 16:01Speaker 1: to find out what the goal is for be the
- 16:03Speaker 1: Booker Tonight and super chats are open, So if you'd
- 16:07Speaker 1: like to send one in and support what I do
- 16:09Speaker 1: here on the channel. If you like the content, I
- 16:11Speaker 1: sure do appreciate it, go ahead and drop one. I
- 16:14Speaker 1: want to give a quick plug to our pal David.
- 16:17Speaker 1: David occasionally will put together these polls that you can
- 16:20Speaker 1: vote in. He actually goes through a lot of the
- 16:23Speaker 1: matches that we have booked in that be the Booker segment,
- 16:28Speaker 1: and he puts these poles together. It's almost like a
- 16:31Speaker 1: solid monster supercard type deal. It puts a lot of
- 16:34Speaker 1: time into it. If you would like to vote. It
- 16:37Speaker 1: is pinned in the chat from what I'm seeing. Tell
- 16:40Speaker 1: me if you're seeing the same thing. When I would
- 16:43Speaker 1: pin a message in the chat, traditionally it would be
- 16:46Speaker 1: pinned at the top, right, because that would make sense.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Now I see it's pinned at the bottom. I don't
- 16:52Speaker 1: know if that's a me thing. I don't know. If
- 16:54Speaker 1: that's for all of you and you're seeing the same thing,
- 16:56Speaker 1: it annoys me. I don't know why it's pinned to
- 16:59Speaker 1: the now, anyway, it is pinned, So go find the
- 17:04Speaker 1: link and go vote. Voting ends tomorrow, so don't waste
- 17:08Speaker 1: any time on that. Let's spin this wheel and find
- 17:11Speaker 1: out how many likes we need and then we can
- 17:13Speaker 1: get this party started. Here always a challenge here on
- 17:17Speaker 1: these dynamite streams, So if it's a high number, we're
- 17:21Speaker 1: probably not going to be doing be the booker tonight.
- 17:23Speaker 1: But let's see four seventy five. It's on the bottom
- 17:31Speaker 1: for you too. I don't know why they did that,
- 17:34Speaker 1: pseudo though, says he sees it at the top. Maybe
- 17:36Speaker 1: it's a glitch. I don't know. Anyway, if you don't
- 17:39Speaker 1: see it at the top, it's at the bottom. Four
- 17:41Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five likes is the goal for tonight
- 17:45Speaker 1: if we are to be the booker. We are at
- 17:47Speaker 1: two forty four, so we got some work to do there.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Go ahead and hit that like button. Let's get into
- 17:53Speaker 1: this here. Let's talk about this dynamite show. Because after
- 17:57Speaker 1: highlights of last week's big title chain and Darby Allen
- 18:00Speaker 1: winning the AW World Championship. MJF was live in the
- 18:05Speaker 1: arena and he was not happy. He was angrily marching
- 18:08Speaker 1: down to the ring and he referred to last week
- 18:12Speaker 1: as the Seattle screwjob. Said that he had come out
- 18:16Speaker 1: victorious a few days prior at Dynasty, had that forty
- 18:20Speaker 1: minute match with Kenny Omega. He beat Kenny Omega, said
- 18:25Speaker 1: that he called Darby a cheat, said that he hit
- 18:28Speaker 1: him in the nuts before that skank Aubrey Edwards made
- 18:32Speaker 1: a fast count on him. So he asked the crowd,
- 18:35Speaker 1: do you really think that Darby could beat me at
- 18:37Speaker 1: one hundred percent? Called himself the most complete athlete in
- 18:40Speaker 1: the sport. It's beating everyone's favorites. Made sure Hangman Page
- 18:45Speaker 1: can never again be the AW World Champion. He reminded
- 18:48Speaker 1: everybody that he kicked out of the One Winged Angel
- 18:50Speaker 1: like it was nothing. So did wear Ripley by the
- 18:54Speaker 1: way at WrestleMania, and he demanded the Darby come to
- 18:59Speaker 1: the ring to give him back his AW World Championship.
- 19:02Speaker 1: And he didn't give a shit about his match in
- 19:04Speaker 1: the main event tonight with Tamaso Champa, so instead he
- 19:08Speaker 1: got the jet Kevin Knight, the brand new TNT champion
- 19:12Speaker 1: who made his way down to the ring. And I
- 19:14Speaker 1: told you, I mean, this is why I went with
- 19:15Speaker 1: Kevin Knight as my pick in the Casino Galin match
- 19:20Speaker 1: of Dynasty, because you could tell that Tony Kahan thinks
- 19:25Speaker 1: very highly of him. He has been getting a lot
- 19:27Speaker 1: more FaceTime on Dynamite going back to December, and it
- 19:31Speaker 1: just felt to me like, if they had to take
- 19:34Speaker 1: the title from Kyle Fletcher, why not put the belt
- 19:37Speaker 1: on someone like Kevin Knight, who they are very high on,
- 19:39Speaker 1: and give him a run and see how he does
- 19:41Speaker 1: as the champion. And so now here he is sharing
- 19:45Speaker 1: the ring again, not the first time with mjf and
- 19:49Speaker 1: this is something that he needs. He needs more of this.
- 19:52Speaker 1: He needs to be on the mic and not just
- 19:54Speaker 1: by himself like last week he got on the mic
- 19:56Speaker 1: after his match. He addressed the crowd. He needs to be,
- 20:00Speaker 1: you know, going one on one with people who were
- 20:02Speaker 1: better than him on the microphone so that he can
- 20:06Speaker 1: get better and to see how, you know, how he
- 20:08Speaker 1: reacts when he's in there with somebody else who's better
- 20:11Speaker 1: than him on the stick. So he came out to
- 20:12Speaker 1: the ring, he said it's a different city, but the
- 20:14Speaker 1: same MJF whining like a little bitch. He said that
- 20:18Speaker 1: it was about to get real because the jet is
- 20:20Speaker 1: to fly. Told the MJF that I look clean with
- 20:25Speaker 1: my new title around my waist, and when you're a
- 20:28Speaker 1: fighting champion, you're willing to defend it at any time.
- 20:31Speaker 1: And he made the case that he had MJF beat
- 20:34Speaker 1: in their match all those weeks ago and that he
- 20:36Speaker 1: should be Jet two belts right now. So MJF mocked
- 20:41Speaker 1: how eloquent he was as a speaker and how he
- 20:45Speaker 1: thinks it's socially acceptable to be friends with speedball Mike Bailey. Obviously,
- 20:50Speaker 1: though your memory isn't that great like mine, because I
- 20:53Speaker 1: remember beating you with a heat seeker for the easy dub.
- 20:57Speaker 1: But he gave props to a Night called him a
- 21:00Speaker 1: good hand, but someone who has a ceiling, someone who
- 21:03Speaker 1: will never be the aw world champion. So Night said
- 21:07Speaker 1: they he'll slap mjf's big ass nose off his face
- 21:10Speaker 1: and send him packing. Said some of the best wrestlers
- 21:14Speaker 1: have held the TNT title, which is something that MJF
- 21:17Speaker 1: would know nothing about. MJF has had everything handed to him,
- 21:21Speaker 1: so how about. He hands MJF an ass whooping and
- 21:24Speaker 1: MJF says, well, if you want to wrestle, you want
- 21:27Speaker 1: to get me in the ring, you're gonna have to
- 21:29Speaker 1: put that TNT title on the line. And if you
- 21:32Speaker 1: do that, then you got yourself a match. So Night
- 21:36Speaker 1: agreed to it, and MJF said, all right, get me
- 21:38Speaker 1: a referee out here. And here comes Bryce Remsburg and
- 21:42Speaker 1: he's got the title and he's holding the title up
- 21:44Speaker 1: and before the bell could be rung, MJF takes the
- 21:48Speaker 1: powder out of the ring and he's kind of laughing
- 21:51Speaker 1: as he starts to make his way to the back,
- 21:53Speaker 1: and he says, you're gonna dance with the devil, but
- 21:56Speaker 1: not tonight. You're gonna dance with the devil next week.
- 22:00Speaker 1: And the fans here tonight. We're not very happy about
- 22:02Speaker 1: that in Portland, but it makes sense. Why give that
- 22:06Speaker 1: match away unannounced? So not the best promo from Kevin Knight.
- 22:11Speaker 1: You know, he wasn't terrible, but you could tell like
- 22:14Speaker 1: he's still I don't know nervous, if he was nervous
- 22:18Speaker 1: or just just a little rough around the edges in
- 22:22Speaker 1: interacting with MJF, I wouldn't call it a strong segment
- 22:26Speaker 1: for him. I mean, he was fine, he was decent enough,
- 22:30Speaker 1: but this is what he needs more of if he's
- 22:32Speaker 1: gonna go back and forth on the mic with someone
- 22:34Speaker 1: like MJF, which I mean, to be fair, not a
- 22:37Speaker 1: lot of people can necessarily do that because MJF is
- 22:40Speaker 1: the best talker they have in the company. Him and Joe,
- 22:43Speaker 1: I would say, but this is the sort of thing
- 22:46Speaker 1: that you want. You want him to be in there
- 22:47Speaker 1: working with the best that you have. And also MJF
- 22:50Speaker 1: being one of their top stars. Not a bad place
- 22:52Speaker 1: for Kevin Knight to be right sharing the ring with
- 22:55Speaker 1: someone like him. So hopefully we'll get to see him
- 22:59Speaker 1: in more situation like that. But MJF challenging for the
- 23:03Speaker 1: TNT title this, I don't understand him challenging for the
- 23:06Speaker 1: TNT Championship when he is actively trying to get back
- 23:10Speaker 1: the aw World title and we know that that rematch
- 23:13Speaker 1: is coming very probably a double or nothing. That rematch
- 23:15Speaker 1: is going to be coming, So why he's challenging for
- 23:19Speaker 1: the TNT Championship next week is a little weird. It
- 23:23Speaker 1: just seems to me like we're going to get the
- 23:24Speaker 1: match and We're going to get some cheap DQ finish
- 23:27Speaker 1: because MJF doesn't give a shit about the TNT title.
- 23:31Speaker 1: I almost feel like if the title wasn't on the line,
- 23:34Speaker 1: it would make it a little more unpredictable. So that part,
- 23:38Speaker 1: to me was a little weird. But I like the
- 23:41Speaker 1: fact that they at least announced the big match a
- 23:43Speaker 1: week in advance. I think that's smart. Now we went
- 23:46Speaker 1: backstage and Renee was there to interview Chris Jericho and
- 23:51Speaker 1: the Demand, and they announced a six man tag team
- 23:54Speaker 1: match for Collision. Ricochet said that Jericho burned all of
- 23:57Speaker 1: his bridges and he had no friends anymore, and he
- 24:00Speaker 1: wouldn't have any partners either. So Jericho showed off his
- 24:03Speaker 1: brand new T shirt. Now, Jericho's brand new T shirt
- 24:07Speaker 1: has a brand new catchphrase on it that he legitimately
- 24:10Speaker 1: filed a trademark application for. If you want to show
- 24:14Speaker 1: how the trademark system is being abused here in this country,
- 24:18Speaker 1: this is an exhibit A but he legitimately filed a
- 24:22Speaker 1: trademark for this, And I want to show you right
- 24:24Speaker 1: now a photo if you would like to pick this
- 24:26Speaker 1: T shirt up, because I'm sure you're all dying to
- 24:28Speaker 1: buy one. You can do so right now on shop
- 24:31Speaker 1: aw dot com for one low price of just thirty
- 24:34Speaker 1: two dollars that does not include shipping and handling. That
- 24:38Speaker 1: is the T shirt. It's called Chris Jericho the Guy Shirt,
- 24:42Speaker 1: and on it it says Jericho the guy who gets
- 24:46Speaker 1: his ass beat by the demand every week that he
- 24:49Speaker 1: shows up, which is something that Ricochet said to him.
- 24:52Speaker 1: I guess last week or a couple of weeks ago.
- 24:56Speaker 1: This is now a real thing. This is a T
- 24:58Speaker 1: shirt that you can own if you have a fan,
- 25:02Speaker 1: a fellow friend who's a wrestling fan, and you need
- 25:05Speaker 1: to buy something, maybe for their birthday. I'm sure they
- 25:08Speaker 1: would love this as a birthday gift. So there you go,
- 25:12Speaker 1: and look, all the sizes are available up to quadruple large.
- 25:17Speaker 1: My fucking god, how big? How big do these shirts go? Oh?
- 25:23Speaker 1: I mean I take that back. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Five X. You could go from small to five X
- 25:33Speaker 1: for just thirty two dollars. So Ricochet said that he's
- 25:38Speaker 1: going to beat Jericho again with a Rico salt, and
- 25:42Speaker 1: Jericho said he doesn't have to find partners who like
- 25:45Speaker 1: him to team with him. He could just find two
- 25:47Speaker 1: people who don't like Ricochet. I thought that Jericho was
- 25:51Speaker 1: going to be bringing back Big Bill and Brian Keith,
- 25:53Speaker 1: right since there was no resolution with them, Jericho just
- 25:57Speaker 1: went away and that was it. That was the end
- 25:59Speaker 1: of the Learning Tree. And I'm not saying that I
- 26:00Speaker 1: want the Learning Tree back, but he needs two partners, right,
- 26:04Speaker 1: So I thought, Okay, this is going to be their
- 26:06Speaker 1: way of kind of, even just for one match, sort
- 26:09Speaker 1: of writing off the Learning Tree once and for all.
- 26:13Speaker 1: And that was not the case because later on in
- 26:15Speaker 1: the show, in the back, Renee asked Jericho, have you
- 26:18Speaker 1: found your partners for this match? And out of Jericho's
- 26:23Speaker 1: locker room comes Shelton, Benjamin, Bobby Lashley and MVP the
- 26:30Speaker 1: Hurt Syndicate and they all nodded to Jericho. So it's
- 26:36Speaker 1: going to be Jericho and the Hurt Syndicate who have
- 26:40Speaker 1: history with Ricochet and the Gates of Agony, and that's
- 26:43Speaker 1: going to be the match on Collision this weekend, which
- 26:45Speaker 1: again I believe it's being taped as we speak. For Saturday.
- 26:51Speaker 1: After this, we had Brody king against Leo Rush doing
- 26:56Speaker 1: his wacky Blackhart character. Again. Leo, he's very committed to
- 27:02Speaker 1: this thing. I give him credit. He was crouched in
- 27:06Speaker 1: the corner here at the beginning. Brody King is in
- 27:09Speaker 1: the opposite corner, and Leo rushes crouched down in the corner.
- 27:13Speaker 1: He's not even looking at Brody. He's looking kind of
- 27:16Speaker 1: at the cameras right up in his face, and he's
- 27:20Speaker 1: muttering to himself. He said, it's his house, it's not
- 27:24Speaker 1: his house anymore. I don't know who he's talking to.
- 27:28Speaker 1: I don't know who this he is that he's referring
- 27:30Speaker 1: to the man. He belongs in a white coat somewhere.
- 27:34Speaker 1: So the bell rang. Brody finally had enough and he
- 27:37Speaker 1: went after this man, rushed bailed to the outside. He
- 27:41Speaker 1: tried to throw a chop and Brody no sould it
- 27:43Speaker 1: and just demolished him with chops of his own. But
- 27:46Speaker 1: Leo is laughing. King sits him on a chair. He
- 27:49Speaker 1: charges he missed a running crossbody up against the guardrail.
- 27:53Speaker 1: So Leo then jumps on top of the like the
- 27:55Speaker 1: lid of the announced desks, crouched right in front of
- 27:57Speaker 1: the announcers, and he tried to crossbody off the table.
- 28:01Speaker 1: He got caught, but he slipped out and he was
- 28:03Speaker 1: able to drive Brody into the post and then sent
- 28:06Speaker 1: him into the railing. So Rush tried for his rush
- 28:08Speaker 1: hour move. Brody, though, turned him inside out with a lariat.
- 28:12Speaker 1: He went for a gonzo bomb, Leo slid out. He
- 28:15Speaker 1: hit a kick which sent King outside and then this
- 28:18Speaker 1: is where Leo did his creepy gallop. It's the best
- 28:22Speaker 1: way for me to describe it. He did his creepy
- 28:25Speaker 1: gallop around the ring into a low toe pay and
- 28:30Speaker 1: took out Brody on the floor. I'm like, I'm watching
- 28:33Speaker 1: him do this, and you know what it reminded me of,
- 28:35Speaker 1: because I actually just saw the movie again, not that
- 28:38Speaker 1: long ago. It reminds me of the movie Megan with
- 28:42Speaker 1: the Killer with the killer doll, and that one scene
- 28:47Speaker 1: in the movie in the woods with the little boy,
- 28:51Speaker 1: the abusive, obnoxious little boy who learned a very valuable
- 28:56Speaker 1: lesson that day, which is you know you don't you
- 29:00Speaker 1: don't put your hands on a lady, and don't act
- 29:03Speaker 1: like a dick, because when you do, bad things will
- 29:07Speaker 1: happen to you, Like a creepy killer doll might gallop
- 29:11Speaker 1: towards you and chase you into traffic and you will
- 29:13Speaker 1: be hit by a car and killed. Spoiler Sorry, I
- 29:17Speaker 1: spoiled the scene for you. That's what this reminded me of.
- 29:23Speaker 1: So back inside, Leo hit a frog splash to the back,
- 29:26Speaker 1: Brody kicked out at one. Brody caught him though with
- 29:29Speaker 1: a boss Man slam, and then he hit the Big
- 29:31Speaker 1: Corner cannon ball and then finally the Gonzo Bomb for
- 29:34Speaker 1: the win. So after the match, King said that he
- 29:39Speaker 1: would be watching the main event and if Champa wins, congrats.
- 29:46Speaker 1: While he's proud of Darby Allen, he's not proud enough
- 29:50Speaker 1: not to bring the violence again. I said this earlier.
- 29:55Speaker 1: I think we need some vignettes. I don't think we're
- 29:57Speaker 1: going to get them, but it would be nice to
- 29:59Speaker 1: have have some character vignette's with Leo trying to explain
- 30:04Speaker 1: exactly why he has descended into madness with this character,
- 30:09Speaker 1: because I know he was doing the crew stuff right
- 30:11Speaker 1: with Action Andretti, and I just don't know that they
- 30:14Speaker 1: even on Collision. I mean, did they ever really explain
- 30:18Speaker 1: how he went from that to what he's doing now.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I don't believe they have. And frankly, even if they
- 30:23Speaker 1: did on one of those other shows, like if he's
- 30:25Speaker 1: gonna be on Dynamite, I'd like to see that kind
- 30:28Speaker 1: of stuff on this show, because I'd like to see
- 30:29Speaker 1: him featured more on this show. I know there are
- 30:32Speaker 1: some wrestlers who are very big fans of what he's doing. Now,
- 30:35Speaker 1: Shatzi Blackhart thinks that this is the fucking greatest thing
- 30:37Speaker 1: in the world. Like I saw her the other day
- 30:40Speaker 1: being interviewed and she was asked about this, and she
- 30:42Speaker 1: was like, Oh my god, this is I'm in love
- 30:44Speaker 1: with this character. This thing is amazing and if they
- 30:47Speaker 1: give him the opportunity, it'll be the biggest thing in
- 30:49Speaker 1: the entire company. I don't know about that, but it
- 30:53Speaker 1: would be nice for them to try to explain. It
- 30:55Speaker 1: could be fun to try to explain exactly how we
- 30:59Speaker 1: got here, cause again, it's it's it's weird, it's creepy,
- 31:05Speaker 1: it's different. It gets my attention, which doesn't always mean
- 31:10Speaker 1: it's a good thing, but it does get my attention.
- 31:12Speaker 1: But now I'm just wondering, Okay, what's the why here?
- 31:15Speaker 1: We shouldn't just be doing things for the sake of
- 31:17Speaker 1: doing it, Like, what's the why, what's the reason behind this?
- 31:23Speaker 1: So Renee caught up backstage with Tomasso Champa and asked
- 31:27Speaker 1: how Tonight's main event is gonna go. He said he's
- 31:30Speaker 1: been told his entire career, you're not big enough, you
- 31:34Speaker 1: can't pass the airport test, which is that's a Vince
- 31:38Speaker 1: McMahon thing. You're not charismatic enough, You're not main event material.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Tonight is not about heroes or villains. It's about passion.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Glass ceilings are imaginary. Tonight is about pro wrestling, and
- 31:50Speaker 1: Shampas said that you've never seen a man more prepared
- 31:53Speaker 1: for his moment than he is tonight. Go ask Darby
- 31:56Speaker 1: Allen if he wants this more than Champa needs it.
- 31:59Speaker 1: This was a great babyface promo. I don't know what
- 32:02Speaker 1: champion is supposed to be from week to week. Is
- 32:05Speaker 1: he a heal? Is he a baby face? I don't know.
- 32:10Speaker 1: I've seen him. I've seen him basically come across both
- 32:13Speaker 1: ways in the last couple of months. I did see
- 32:19Speaker 1: Megan two. I didn't like it as much as the
- 32:22Speaker 1: first one. It was okay, it was okay. I wasn't
- 32:26Speaker 1: a big fan of it. I like the first one
- 32:28Speaker 1: a lot more. Backstage, Adam Copeland talked about how he
- 32:35Speaker 1: and Christian Cage they want another shot at FTR and
- 32:38Speaker 1: the aw tag team titles, even though FTR turned them
- 32:41Speaker 1: down last week. Copeland proposed a New York Street fight
- 32:45Speaker 1: at Double or Nothing next month, and he goes, how
- 32:49Speaker 1: about we do this. If FTR wins Cope and Christian,
- 32:55Speaker 1: they are retired as a tag team. They will never
- 32:58Speaker 1: again work together as a team. So Copeland says, he
- 33:02Speaker 1: knows what his answer would be. And if you're the
- 33:04Speaker 1: best tag team of all time, like you say you are,
- 33:08Speaker 1: then he knows what the answer should be. Only one
- 33:10Speaker 1: way to prove it, though, balls in your court, boy,
- 33:13Speaker 1: That telegraphs the finish of that match, doesn't it. Cope
- 33:17Speaker 1: and Christian are not retiring from anything until they win
- 33:20Speaker 1: the AW Tag Team titles at least once, because Tony
- 33:24Speaker 1: Khan wants those tag team titles in the history books.
- 33:27Speaker 1: The history books are very important to Tony Khan. He
- 33:30Speaker 1: wants Cope and Christian Edge and Christian to be tag
- 33:32Speaker 1: team champions at least once in his company. He didn't
- 33:35Speaker 1: get it with the Hardys. Things didn't work out with
- 33:37Speaker 1: Jeff Hardy, and so the Hardy's never held AW Tag
- 33:41Speaker 1: Team gold. They've held gold everywhere but AW and he's
- 33:46Speaker 1: not going to allow that to happen with these two men.
- 33:48Speaker 1: They just told you what the finish of that match
- 33:50Speaker 1: is going to be Hikarushida with Chris Statlander in her
- 33:57Speaker 1: corner taking on Mina Shirikawa. We had some joshi violence
- 34:01Speaker 1: here in this match. In fact, before the match earlier today,
- 34:04Speaker 1: she'd have said made the best joshi win, and she
- 34:07Speaker 1: was also mockingly clapping for Mina as she made her
- 34:10Speaker 1: way down to the ring. So, if you haven't been
- 34:11Speaker 1: paying attention, and I've tried to, a lot of this
- 34:15Speaker 1: stuff has been on collision. Sheida has been doing this
- 34:18Speaker 1: new type. It's not really a gimmick, but she's acting
- 34:22Speaker 1: more heelish than she has in the past, and she's
- 34:27Speaker 1: been teaming up recently with Statlander, but you could see
- 34:30Speaker 1: kind of where's she's trending more in the heel direction.
- 34:35Speaker 1: So anyway, there was a figure four applied late in
- 34:37Speaker 1: the match. She'da got the ropes, Mina started arguing with
- 34:40Speaker 1: the referee. As she'da went to go grab her kendo stick,
- 34:43Speaker 1: Mina grabbed it away from her she was going to
- 34:45Speaker 1: use it as a weapon. Statlander reached in and she
- 34:48Speaker 1: snatched the kendo stick away from her and this momentary
- 34:52Speaker 1: distraction here allowed shea to hit a leaping knee strike
- 34:57Speaker 1: and a falcon arrow for the wind and Statlander. They
- 35:00Speaker 1: the camera on her and she just had this look
- 35:01Speaker 1: on her face like, oh oops, like she didn't intend
- 35:05Speaker 1: for that to happen, but she she helped her partner win,
- 35:08Speaker 1: but she didn't mean for it to play out that way. Hidah,
- 35:11Speaker 1: though she was thrilled, she was happy with this. Sida
- 35:15Speaker 1: has traditionally been a babyface basically her entire run in
- 35:19Speaker 1: this company, so it felt to me like the fans
- 35:21Speaker 1: didn't really they didn't really know how to take it,
- 35:25Speaker 1: you know, kind of like who to cheer for here,
- 35:27Speaker 1: and because they liked both these women, there were a
- 35:30Speaker 1: couple of clunky moments in the match. It was decent
- 35:33Speaker 1: on the whole. It wasn't that great, but it was decent.
- 35:37Speaker 1: But you know what was not decent? You know, it
- 35:40Speaker 1: was much better than decent this next match because we
- 35:43Speaker 1: had will Ospray one on one with Mark Davis, and
- 35:47Speaker 1: this was great. I very much enjoyed this match. Ex
- 35:52Speaker 1: Caliber said that Osprey barely got cleared for Tinda. This
- 35:55Speaker 1: is his gimmick now, by the way, every single week
- 35:58Speaker 1: will Ospray barely gets cleared by medical. The man missed
- 36:02Speaker 1: five months I think, I don't think it was six
- 36:04Speaker 1: months after neck fusion surgery. And so if he's this
- 36:11Speaker 1: close to not being cleared every single week, if this
- 36:15Speaker 1: is his new gimmick, why was he even allowed to
- 36:17Speaker 1: return to the ring in the first place. What does
- 36:20Speaker 1: this say about aw Medical that every week it's a
- 36:24Speaker 1: crapshoot as to whether or not this man is going
- 36:26Speaker 1: to be medically cleared. Why not just let him rest
- 36:30Speaker 1: at home for another few months until he's back to
- 36:32Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Apparently that's not the way it works
- 36:36Speaker 1: here in aw So right out of the gate, Davis
- 36:40Speaker 1: launched Osprey out of the ring and he wanted a
- 36:42Speaker 1: power bomb on the stage early, but Osprey slid out
- 36:45Speaker 1: and he ended up hitting a summrsault dive off the again,
- 36:49Speaker 1: I say off the stage. It's not like a huge
- 36:51Speaker 1: drop off here, but he did a summersault dive off
- 36:54Speaker 1: the stage onto Davis. So Davis of course targeted the
- 36:58Speaker 1: bad neck and he tried for a pile driver. Osprey
- 37:01Speaker 1: avoided it. He landed a Spanish fly for a near fall.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Davis answered with a pair of backdropped suplexes, and Osprey
- 37:07Speaker 1: was grabbing at his neck. He had all the the
- 37:09Speaker 1: fucking athletic tape on his neck and he's grabbing at
- 37:12Speaker 1: the neck. He did manage to catch Davis with a
- 37:15Speaker 1: hidden blade and didn't cover him right away, but he
- 37:19Speaker 1: covered him, only got a near fall out of it.
- 37:22Speaker 1: So Davis fired back with a lariat and he gave
- 37:25Speaker 1: him a pile driver. Osprey, though, was saved by the
- 37:28Speaker 1: bottom rope on the follow up pin attempt, So Davis
- 37:32Speaker 1: then took him out to the apron and he gave
- 37:35Speaker 1: him a pile driver variation. It was basically a version
- 37:39Speaker 1: of a pile driver on the apron and it got
- 37:42Speaker 1: a great reaction that the crowd gasped and Osprey slowly
- 37:47Speaker 1: fell to the floor in a heap. Doc Samson came over.
- 37:51Speaker 1: He rushed over to check on Osprey. Referee was holding
- 37:55Speaker 1: Davis back and after I don't know thirty seconds went by,
- 37:59Speaker 1: and the doc looked up at the referee and said, no,
- 38:02Speaker 1: that's it, that's it, We're done, And so the referee
- 38:04Speaker 1: called the match off. We had a ref stoppage. And
- 38:07Speaker 1: how about that Mark Davis. Yes, the Mark Davis actually
- 38:13Speaker 1: wins a match on aw Dynamite. I'm amazed. And the
- 38:19Speaker 1: reason that the referee was forced to stop the match
- 38:22Speaker 1: is because the doctor said that Osprey was complaining he
- 38:24Speaker 1: had no feeling in his arm, which sounds like a problem.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Maybe next week he shouldn't be medically cleared, but I'm
- 38:31Speaker 1: sure they'll clear him anyway. So when the match was over,
- 38:35Speaker 1: Davis wasn't done though. He dragged the Osprey back inside.
- 38:37Speaker 1: He was about to deliver another pile driver because he
- 38:40Speaker 1: has no mercy. But before he could do it, he
- 38:44Speaker 1: has him up in a pile driver position. But all
- 38:46Speaker 1: of a sudden, Marina Shaffir is on the apron, and
- 38:50Speaker 1: then he turns around and again he still has him
- 38:52Speaker 1: upside down the pile driver position. He turns around and
- 38:55Speaker 1: now John Moxley is in the ring, and now the
- 38:58Speaker 1: rest of the Death Riders. They surround the ring and
- 39:02Speaker 1: Davis is out numbered here, and he's like he thinks
- 39:05Speaker 1: better of it. He slowly sets Ospray safely back down
- 39:10Speaker 1: on the mat and he exits because he's out numbered here.
- 39:15Speaker 1: He's not an idiot, so he leave the ring. The
- 39:18Speaker 1: death Riders meanwhile, they pull Ospray out of the ring
- 39:22Speaker 1: and they carry him through the crowd out of the arena,
- 39:26Speaker 1: and that is how this ended. First of all, this
- 39:28Speaker 1: was an excellent match with two men who I think
- 39:31Speaker 1: have been the television MVPs of the year so far,
- 39:35Speaker 1: because every match that Osprey has had since he's come back,
- 39:38Speaker 1: except maybe the first one, that first match he had
- 39:41Speaker 1: with Oh God, who did he wrestle the swirl guy
- 39:45Speaker 1: Blake Christian That I mean, it was fine. It wasn't
- 39:48Speaker 1: anything special, but like the match with the hetch of
- 39:51Speaker 1: Sero last week and some other stuff he's done. Like Osprey,
- 39:54Speaker 1: he's had some really good matches. Mark Davis has had
- 39:57Speaker 1: some really good matches, and you always expect he's gonna lose.
- 40:00Speaker 1: He's gonna always be on the losing end of it.
- 40:03Speaker 1: So it was nice that he got a fucking win
- 40:05Speaker 1: for a change on the show tonight. Like you may
- 40:08Speaker 1: not push the guy, but you know what, every now
- 40:10Speaker 1: and then throw a win his way if you get
- 40:12Speaker 1: a feature him this much on television instead of making
- 40:15Speaker 1: him the modern day like Iron Mike Sharp, who just
- 40:18Speaker 1: goes in there and loses every match that he's in,
- 40:21Speaker 1: it's okay to throw him a win. You know, on
- 40:23Speaker 1: the main show every now and then, But as far
- 40:28Speaker 1: as Osprey and the next stuff goes, look, this is
- 40:30Speaker 1: going to continue to be the story into the summer
- 40:33Speaker 1: until he beats John Moxley. Is this is how I
- 40:37Speaker 1: see it playing out. I've mentioned the finals of the
- 40:39Speaker 1: Owen before. I could be wrong about that. It could
- 40:41Speaker 1: just be a straight up stipulation match of some kind
- 40:44Speaker 1: at double or Nothing. In fact, it would seem to
- 40:47Speaker 1: me double or Nothing would be the most likely place
- 40:50Speaker 1: for the rematch. And I mean, I suppose Osprey could
- 40:54Speaker 1: lose again and then eventually get his win back, but
- 40:57Speaker 1: he'll probably get his win back on that show. I
- 40:59Speaker 1: was just thinking of the Owen just because I just
- 41:02Speaker 1: hate the idea of them wrestling again and having the
- 41:05Speaker 1: TNT Championship be part of that before the Continental title
- 41:08Speaker 1: be a part of it, because it's just completely unnecessary.
- 41:11Speaker 1: We already saw it once, we don't need to see
- 41:13Speaker 1: it again again. That title has nothing to do with
- 41:15Speaker 1: what the mission is for Will Osprey. I like the
- 41:19Speaker 1: idea of him eventually beating Moxley, and when he does so,
- 41:23Speaker 1: the more important thing is that it earns him the
- 41:25Speaker 1: right to then challenge for the top title in the company,
- 41:29Speaker 1: because now you've got Tomaso Champa, you've got Brodie King,
- 41:32Speaker 1: You're gonna have people fighting for this belt every single week,
- 41:36Speaker 1: and you're gonna tell me that Will Osprey should not
- 41:39Speaker 1: be fighting for the World Championship. If he's fighting for
- 41:43Speaker 1: it in August, he has to win the Owen first,
- 41:46Speaker 1: So why not have him finally get that win over
- 41:49Speaker 1: John Moxley in the finals where it really counts for something.
- 41:53Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking when I sort of mapped
- 41:55Speaker 1: it out of my head. Double or nothing at the
- 41:58Speaker 1: earliest is when we'll see that match. But until we
- 42:00Speaker 1: get there, the story of Will Osprey on this show
- 42:04Speaker 1: is going to be the neck. You know, is he
- 42:06Speaker 1: going to be able to get cleared? And then he
- 42:08Speaker 1: gets cleared and he's in there and he's clutching the
- 42:10Speaker 1: neck and people are dropping him on his fucking head
- 42:13Speaker 1: every single week. This is going to continue to be
- 42:16Speaker 1: the story until he beats Sean Moxley, and then at
- 42:19Speaker 1: that point it may go away and the story ships
- 42:23Speaker 1: to him trying to do the one thing he has
- 42:25Speaker 1: yet to be able to do, which is win the
- 42:27Speaker 1: top championship in the company. I would presume from MJF.
- 42:32Speaker 1: Cannot discount the possibility it could be from Kenny Omega
- 42:36Speaker 1: because that is another rumor going around that that potentially
- 42:40Speaker 1: could be the match they want to do in the
- 42:41Speaker 1: main event on that show. Again, a very big match,
- 42:44Speaker 1: very big match, although I don't know where MJF falls
- 42:47Speaker 1: and then if you do that, but that's how I
- 42:50Speaker 1: see things playing out. Great stuff here though. Now. Renee
- 42:53Speaker 1: was backstage with Missus Ostra, the soon to be missus
- 42:56Speaker 1: Osprey believe they're getting married in June, Alex Windsor, and
- 43:02Speaker 1: she was asking Alex about her loss to Tekla last
- 43:05Speaker 1: week Jamie Hayter still not cleared after her match with
- 43:08Speaker 1: tech Led Dynasty, Windsor said that she's gonna rip the
- 43:11Speaker 1: legs off the Spider when Persephone showed up and she
- 43:16Speaker 1: said that she would team with her on collision, and
- 43:18Speaker 1: Windsor accepted and said they would challenge any two members
- 43:22Speaker 1: of the Triangle of Madness for a collision this Saturday.
- 43:27Speaker 1: We had after this, the return of the former two
- 43:29Speaker 1: time aw World champion Samoa Joe, out of concussion protocol,
- 43:36Speaker 1: back on the show here against Cody chun Yes, Cody
- 43:43Speaker 1: chun I know he's your favorite. I can't tell you
- 43:46Speaker 1: a damn thing about him. I wish I could. He
- 43:50Speaker 1: wasn't in the ring along enough for me to even
- 43:52Speaker 1: bother looking it up. Chun fought out of a musclebuster
- 43:56Speaker 1: with an eye rake. He tried for a leaping cross
- 43:58Speaker 1: body and Joe just noped right the hell out of
- 44:03Speaker 1: the way. And then he finally hit the musclebuster and
- 44:06Speaker 1: he got the quick win. That was it, barely even
- 44:09Speaker 1: broke a sweat, And as Joe is heading to the back,
- 44:12Speaker 1: Hook walks out, big smile on his face, applauding, very
- 44:15Speaker 1: happy that his boy is back and the two of
- 44:18Speaker 1: them left together. I think it's time to move on
- 44:21Speaker 1: from this ops stuff. The ops stuff played itself out
- 44:25Speaker 1: a long time ago. I don't really see the need
- 44:28Speaker 1: for it anymore. But it's good to have Joe back,
- 44:31Speaker 1: and it's good to have Joe healthy again for now.
- 44:34Speaker 1: You know, he's gotten hurt a few times. Hopefully he
- 44:36Speaker 1: can stay healthy for a while this time. And he's
- 44:39Speaker 1: another one who you know if you're looking for top
- 44:41Speaker 1: names to plug into that world title scene, because we've
- 44:44Speaker 1: been talking about all the names that are lined up
- 44:47Speaker 1: to challenge for the aw World title. And this is
- 44:50Speaker 1: when MJF was the champion, but you had Kenny Omega
- 44:53Speaker 1: and you had Will Ospray, You've got Swerve Strickland. Where
- 44:57Speaker 1: the hell's Swerve been? Right, He's taken some time off
- 44:59Speaker 1: once he in a show up Andrade. We never did
- 45:02Speaker 1: get that match with MJF. And androde I said this
- 45:05Speaker 1: month ago, I think if you do Arena Mexico again
- 45:08Speaker 1: for Grand Slam Mexico, that should be the match on
- 45:11Speaker 1: that show, except MJF is not the champion right now.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Hopefully by then he will have the belt back. I
- 45:16Speaker 1: think they did that at Arena Mexico in June of
- 45:19Speaker 1: last year, so if they do the same thing again,
- 45:23Speaker 1: it's not that far off. So if he gets that
- 45:25Speaker 1: belt back before then I think that's the match you
- 45:27Speaker 1: do on that show. And now you can plug Somemo
- 45:31Speaker 1: with Joe back in there, because I think he was
- 45:34Speaker 1: probably going to get a rematch anyway, and then he
- 45:36Speaker 1: got hurt and he has an argument to make like
- 45:39Speaker 1: I was, I'm the former champion and I deserve another shot. Boom,
- 45:43Speaker 1: there you go. Now you got another person to step
- 45:45Speaker 1: up and challenge. It actually does make more sense. Though
- 45:47Speaker 1: for him to step up at a time when Darby
- 45:49Speaker 1: is the champion because Joe. Look, the fans love Joe.
- 45:53Speaker 1: They were cheering for him tonight. I still look at
- 45:57Speaker 1: him as a heel. I guess he's whatever the fans
- 46:00Speaker 1: want him to be. But if he wanted, if he
- 46:03Speaker 1: showed up on the show and said I want to
- 46:05Speaker 1: shout at the title, it probably would make more sense
- 46:08Speaker 1: to have him be one of those people that steps
- 46:10Speaker 1: up to Darby in the next few weeks. I could
- 46:13Speaker 1: see that being a TV match. Speaking of Darby, we
- 46:17Speaker 1: had a video package here celebrating the brand new AW
- 46:21Speaker 1: World Champion. It was set to I've got to be Me,
- 46:25Speaker 1: highlighting his entire aw career up to winning the world
- 46:29Speaker 1: title on the show last week. This was very good.
- 46:32Speaker 1: I was not expecting to hear Sammy Davis Junior on
- 46:36Speaker 1: this show tonight, but I thought it fit well here
- 46:39Speaker 1: in this video package. Tony Shavani was in the ring
- 46:43Speaker 1: after this to welcome the brand new AW World Champion,
- 46:48Speaker 1: Darby Allen out to the ring and they hugged and
- 46:51Speaker 1: then he took the mic from Tony and Darby said
- 46:55Speaker 1: that to the fans here in Portland. First wrestling match
- 47:00Speaker 1: he ever had was right here in this city. He
- 47:04Speaker 1: knows that this could all end in a matter of minutes.
- 47:06Speaker 1: When Tamaso Champa comes out here, he sees what this
- 47:09Speaker 1: title does to people. It grows egos. But this isn't
- 47:14Speaker 1: for him. This is for his parents, who he helped retire.
- 47:18Speaker 1: This is for his fiance, who he met on the
- 47:20Speaker 1: school bus. Which I think I know what he meant
- 47:27Speaker 1: by that, but like, that's a little creepy. I'm just saying,
- 47:31Speaker 1: maybe rephrase that a little bit. He met his He
- 47:36Speaker 1: met his fiance on the school bus. What is this

- 49:24Speaker 1: This is for the sherpas who helped him get to
- 49:26Speaker 1: the top of Mount Everest, and this is for the fans.
- 49:30Speaker 1: So MJF marches out on stage and he's screaming, and
- 49:34Speaker 1: you know, Darby doesn't deserve shit, and he wants his
- 49:38Speaker 1: belt back, Give me my belt back. Darby says no,
- 49:42Speaker 1: and he refuses a rematch, says he's not giving MJF
- 49:45Speaker 1: a rematch until he puts something on the line because
- 49:49Speaker 1: everyone in the back deserves a shot, which is not true,
- 49:52Speaker 1: by the way, everyone in the back does not deserve
- 49:56Speaker 1: a shot. Okay, let's not get carried away here. This
- 49:59Speaker 1: is your world championship. But he says he'll put the
- 50:04Speaker 1: title on the line every single week, it just won't
- 50:06Speaker 1: be against MJF. So Tomaso Champa his music hits. He
- 50:10Speaker 1: makes his way out, and he and MJF pass each
- 50:12Speaker 1: other on the way to the ring, and he gives
- 50:15Speaker 1: MJF a kiss on the cheek and then continues walking
- 50:19Speaker 1: down to the ring for the main event. And I
- 50:23Speaker 1: actually am very happy that they didn't go with the
- 50:25Speaker 1: finish that I thought they would go with I thought
- 50:28Speaker 1: MJF was going to show up and he was going
- 50:30Speaker 1: to get involved and we might get some kind of
- 50:32Speaker 1: screwy finish, and we didn't. We didn't see him again
- 50:35Speaker 1: for the rest of the night. We had a clean
- 50:37Speaker 1: main event, which was Tomaso Champa challenging Darby Allen for
- 50:43Speaker 1: the aw World title. Darby delivered a coffin drop to
- 50:47Speaker 1: a standing Champa on the floor very early in the match. Champa,
- 50:50Speaker 1: though recovered. He shoved Darby very hard into the announced
- 50:54Speaker 1: desk and then into the barricade. Later on, Darby he
- 50:59Speaker 1: climbed to the top of the ring post. Champa is outside.
- 51:04Speaker 1: Champa actually came in. I think he went for a
- 51:06Speaker 1: halluva kick over by the timekeeper's barricade, and Darby moved
- 51:10Speaker 1: and he kind of crotched himself on the barricade, and
- 51:13Speaker 1: so now Champa is standing on the other side of
- 51:15Speaker 1: the barricade. So Darby is standing on the top of
- 51:18Speaker 1: the post and he launches himself. He dives off onto
- 51:22Speaker 1: Champa on the other side of the barricade and they
- 51:25Speaker 1: go crashing through a table that was in the timekeeper's area.
- 51:31Speaker 1: So after this, Champa came up and he was bleeding
- 51:37Speaker 1: a lot. Darby delivered a suicide dive that sent him
- 51:42Speaker 1: crashing into the side of the announced desk, and then
- 51:45Speaker 1: he in the ring hit a scorpion death drop, but
- 51:48Speaker 1: at the same time Champa tore off the top turnbuckle pad.
- 51:51Speaker 1: Both men ended up on the top rope. Champa hit
- 51:53Speaker 1: an air raid crash to the floor. This looked like
- 51:57Speaker 1: it fucking sucked to take. I mean the way Darby
- 52:01Speaker 1: bounced off the floor outside you could hear the thud.
- 52:06Speaker 1: This was this was this was not good. So later
- 52:10Speaker 1: on Darby hit a Code red, Champa kicked out At
- 52:12Speaker 1: two and a half. Darby went for a coffin drop.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Champa caught him coming down into a rear naked choke.
- 52:19Speaker 1: Darby was able to escape. Champa, though avoided whatever it
- 52:22Speaker 1: was that he was going for, and collided with the
- 52:24Speaker 1: exposed steel in the corner. Champa then delivered a knee
- 52:27Speaker 1: strike and he got a very close near fall. He
- 52:30Speaker 1: followed with Project Champa and another knee strike for what
- 52:34Speaker 1: was a very for me anyway, very convincing near fall.
- 52:38Speaker 1: Here after that second knee strike, I did for a
- 52:41Speaker 1: split second, they got me thinking Okay, maybe maybe, even
- 52:47Speaker 1: though the smart part of my brain knew that it
- 52:51Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen, But that was the closest near fall
- 52:54Speaker 1: of the match. So then Champa tries for a scorpion deathlock.
- 52:59Speaker 1: He's gonna, he's gonna stings move on Darby. Darby escapes
- 53:04Speaker 1: and he counters into one of his own and he's
- 53:07Speaker 1: got it locked in, and Shampa is fighting and he's fighting,
- 53:10Speaker 1: and he's trying to maneuver his way into different positions.
- 53:12Speaker 1: He's twisting himself like a pretzel. He can't get out
- 53:15Speaker 1: of this move, and finally he has no choice left
- 53:18Speaker 1: but to tap out and Darby retains the title. After
- 53:22Speaker 1: the match, Darby extended a handshake and Champa accepted, and
- 53:27Speaker 1: he placed the title on Darby's shoulder. Brody King came
- 53:30Speaker 1: out and he helped Darby to his feet, and he
- 53:33Speaker 1: said he was serious when he said earlier that he
- 53:36Speaker 1: was proud of him. But he also talked to Tony
- 53:38Speaker 1: Kahan and with his permission, he wanted a World Championship
- 53:42Speaker 1: match on Dynamite next week, and Darby shook his hand
- 53:47Speaker 1: and the match was made official, so on Dynamite next Wednesday,
- 53:50Speaker 1: I don't know where the show is, but it will
- 53:53Speaker 1: be Darby Allen defending the aw World Championship yet again
- 53:57Speaker 1: against Brodie King. This was one hell of a main event.
- 54:01Speaker 1: This cleared the Osprey Mark Davis match from earlier in
- 54:04Speaker 1: the night. Champa didn't need to bleed. But I think
- 54:08Speaker 1: Champa looked at this and said, Okay, I'm wrestling for
- 54:11Speaker 1: a world title here on TV. This may never happen again,
- 54:16Speaker 1: Like I'm probably not going to be in this position,
- 54:18Speaker 1: if if, either ever again or for a long time.
- 54:21Speaker 1: And so I'm just gonna go out balls to the
- 54:24Speaker 1: wall and I'm gonna bust out the blade and we're
- 54:27Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna bleed. We're gonna get some color here
- 54:29Speaker 1: in this match. And he got a lot of it.
- 54:32Speaker 1: He got a lot of blood. Darby is gonna defend
- 54:36Speaker 1: that title every week. This is what he's going to do.
- 54:39Speaker 1: He's going to defend that championship next week and the
- 54:42Speaker 1: week after that, and the week after that and the
- 54:45Speaker 1: week after that. And what's gonna end up happening is
- 54:49Speaker 1: he's going to burn himself out and he's going to
- 54:53Speaker 1: lose the championship. I believe it double or nothing to
- 54:56Speaker 1: MJF in New York. That is how this is going
- 54:59Speaker 1: to be play out. I mentioned earlier when Darby was
- 55:02Speaker 1: TNT champion. I'm pretty sure it was the second time,
- 55:04Speaker 1: not the first time. He didn't have the belt for
- 55:08Speaker 1: very long, but he was defending it weekly against different
- 55:12Speaker 1: challengers until ultimately he lost a championship. And if this
- 55:17Speaker 1: is what they're gonna do with him, then I mean,
- 55:19Speaker 1: that's fine. It's nice to have some title defenses on TV.
- 55:23Speaker 1: I would not want it to get to a point,
- 55:24Speaker 1: though they have to be very careful. I don't want
- 55:27Speaker 1: it to get to a point where he's defending the
- 55:30Speaker 1: title against people that are even beneath like Champa and
- 55:33Speaker 1: Brody King, just because well, I'm a fighting champion and
- 55:36Speaker 1: so as he said, everybody in the back deserves a
- 55:40Speaker 1: shot at the championship, No they don't. And if you
- 55:44Speaker 1: want to do an open challenge gimmick with the TNT title,
- 55:47Speaker 1: if you want to do an open challenge gimmick with
- 55:49Speaker 1: any of the other you know, half a dozen championships
- 55:53Speaker 1: that they have in this company, then fine, you know,
- 55:55Speaker 1: knock yourself out. You shouldn't be doing that with your
- 55:58Speaker 1: world title, though, but they have plenty of people that
- 56:02Speaker 1: you could argue would be in line to contend for
- 56:05Speaker 1: the title, because the world title scene in this company
- 56:08Speaker 1: right now is very robust in a way that it
- 56:10Speaker 1: hasn't been maybe ever. It's one of the advantages that
- 56:14Speaker 1: AW has right now that even WWE doesn't have. There
- 56:19Speaker 1: aren't as many obvious potential challengers at this very moment
- 56:24Speaker 1: on either show on the WWE and that are like, Okay, yeah,
- 56:28Speaker 1: this person should be contending for the world title, or
- 56:31Speaker 1: this person's in line, this person's number three, number four,
- 56:33Speaker 1: and number five, and in AW. The core strength of
- 56:37Speaker 1: these recent shows, really since MJF won the belt has
- 56:41Speaker 1: been men. Look at all these potential people that are
- 56:45Speaker 1: lined up to challenge for that title. This title, man
- 56:47Speaker 1: seems like the most important thing in the world right now,
- 56:51Speaker 1: and it should always be that way. But if Darby's
- 56:55Speaker 1: going to go out there and start putting the title
- 56:57Speaker 1: on the line against them me and again I put
- 56:59Speaker 1: them over before for but fucking Leo Rush right or
- 57:03Speaker 1: I don't know, one of the outrunners, then we're gonna
- 57:05Speaker 1: have a problem here. So no, not everybody deserves a
- 57:09Speaker 1: shot at the world title. Hopefully hopefully they don't go
- 57:13Speaker 1: in that direction. I thought it was a strong show
- 57:15Speaker 1: this week. I enjoyed, you know, a lot more than
- 57:19Speaker 1: I didn't. Two killer matches, and I thought the main
- 57:22Speaker 1: event was great. The Osprey match with Davis was excellent.
- 57:27Speaker 1: Leo Rush getting some Dynamite time for the wacky gimmick,
- 57:31Speaker 1: and it's good to have some Oa Joe back. So
- 57:35Speaker 1: that's my thoughts on Dynamite this week. Switch over to
- 57:40Speaker 1: the super chats here again. I can no longer log
- 57:42Speaker 1: into X within obs and so for the time being,
- 57:53Speaker 1: no more X poles. I could put a pole up
- 57:56Speaker 1: in the live chat, though, but I can't. Even if
- 57:59Speaker 1: I post an X poll, I can't show it in here,
- 58:01Speaker 1: So I don't even bother with them now. Whatever it is,
- 58:09Speaker 1: what it is? No title shot for Gollum, Yes, no,
- 58:12Speaker 1: no title shot for Gollum. That's right, Oh, Tony Kahan,
- 58:17Speaker 1: here's that. Let's take a look at your super chat. Say,
- 58:22Speaker 1: Joseph Stewart is with us on a Wednesday night, can
- 58:30Speaker 1: we shut down X for good? I wish a lot
- 58:36Speaker 1: of people say that and then they continue to use
- 58:38Speaker 1: it and lurk on there, even if it's not just
- 58:40Speaker 1: for business purposes or promotional purposes because it's addictive. But
- 58:47Speaker 1: if somebody just sort of blew it up, you know,
- 58:50Speaker 1: if they took the initiative and not literally, but like,
- 58:54Speaker 1: I think that would solve a lot of problems, specially
- 59:00Speaker 1: in the wrestling realm. Joseph says, did you see the
- 59:05Speaker 1: Clayface trailer online? I did. I saw it a couple
- 59:10Speaker 1: of hours ago, and it's like the biggest revelation for
- 59:15Speaker 1: me so far this year. I didn't even know they
- 59:16Speaker 1: were making a Clayface movie. This is the first I'm
- 59:19Speaker 1: even hearing about it, and I wasn't sure what it
- 59:23Speaker 1: was at first. I just started playing the video. It's
- 59:27Speaker 1: like it's a teaser trailer. It's like a minute long.
- 59:29Speaker 1: It's not coming out until October. I think October twenty third.
- 59:32Speaker 1: But I was drawn in by the opening shot of
- 59:35Speaker 1: the guy with the bandagege on his face and he
- 59:36Speaker 1: looked all fucked up. And I started watching it and
- 59:39Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is this is horror. This is
- 59:42Speaker 1: not like a comic book movie. This is dark horror
- 59:47Speaker 1: is what this is. And it's rare that you get
- 59:50Speaker 1: like a comic book movie or a comic villain where
- 59:55Speaker 1: they're actually doing. I'm pretty sure it's a rated R
- 59:58Speaker 1: and it really came Across, and it's coming out in
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: October no less, a week before Halloween. Like it's just
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: perfect timing. So it's like body horror. So I'm looking
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: forward to it. I was never like a huge Clayface guy,
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: but man, this thing looks sick. I'm definitely going to
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: be seeing that. Have you seen the trailer today for
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Coyote Versus Acme? It looks like John Cena is going
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: to be the villain in the movie. Yes, after I
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: saw the clay Face one, I saw a link to
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: the Coyote Versus Acme, which was never even supposed to
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: be released. Remember, David Zaslov wasn't going to release it.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: They were going to take a tax right off on it,
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: and it was either going to be locked away in
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: a vault or destroyed never to be seen. Imagine working
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: on a movie for months on end and then oh,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: we're not even going to release it. No one's ever
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: going to see it. I'm glad it's finally coming out. Yeah,
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: comes across as the main villain in the movie. I
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: think he's the like evil boss of the the Acme Corporation.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: Do you remember when Eric Bischoff had Rick Flair arrested
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: on Nitro? I remember a lot of the Flair and
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Bischoff stuff. I don't remember him being arrested though. No.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: Do you remember on Nitro where Vince Russo, David Flair,
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: and Daphne took a tour in Rick Flair's house. Charlotte
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: Flair was part of it as well, a young Charlotte Flair. Yes,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: I do remember that. I do remember that. Happy Birthday
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: to Jack Nicholson. How old is Jack's gotta be over
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: eighty by now? And Happy twenty fifth anniversary to the
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: movie Shrek. It was released on this day in two
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: thousand and one. What are your thoughts on Roddy Piper's
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: WCW run. I think he had a good run, Not
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: as really as much of a fan of his work
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: there as I was in WWE. Same thing with Randy Savage.
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: He had a really good run there, but I just
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: wasn't as much of a fan of it as I
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: was his WWF work. Did you see the trailer too
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: Practical Magic two with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock? And
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: have you seen the first one? I have not seen
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: the first one. I don't even know. I guess it's
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: about magic. I couldn't tell you anything about it because
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: I never saw it. You know what, The coyote versus
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: Acme thing reminds me of Who Framed Roger Rabbit because
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: you have a mix of live action and animated and
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: they're sort of blending them together in the same world.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: That's like the exact vibe I out watching that trailer
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: who Framed Roger Rabbit. I don't think it'll be as
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but that's the vibe.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: I god. Anyway, Joseph, thank you very much for the support.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: I appreciate it. The Shoulder Demon, will you be doing
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: a sound off review of Mortal Kombat too? I may
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: do a short maybe after I see it. Maybe I'll
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: do like a short and uploaded to YouTube. I am
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: planning on seeing it. My movie list has grown even
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: longer after today. I think I had like seven movies
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: on there. Now I have like nine. And movies are
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: expensive to go see. It'll be spending some money this year.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Javeli is with us. Javeli, it's good to hit have
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: you on this channel for a change. Don't be a stranger, says,
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: have you seen Brodie Lee Junior's match against Joey Janello?
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: Will you'd be doing a review on the Hogan doc
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: Buy Sell Rent on the best tag team match in
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: aw Young Bucks versus Omega and Page, Young Bucks against
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: Luca Brothers or FTR against Bullet Club Gold. Hey, those
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: are all great matches. Jack is eighty nine, eighty nine
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: years old, Wow, and still going to Lakers games all
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: bet right, probably sitting in the front row. Me personally,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: I think I would probably go with the cage match.
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: It's all out, I believe, right between the Luca Bros.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: And the Bucks. But it's probably between that one and
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: the Revolution twenty twenty match. Although the FTR Bullet Club
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: matches on collision. Both of them, there were two of them,
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: were standing the Hogan docuseries. I'm going to try to watch.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: I'm going to try to watch all of it, even
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: before this weekend, but whenever I get done with it, Yes,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: I am planning on checking it out. And the Brodie
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Lee Junior match, I did not see the full match.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: I have seen clips and highlights and apparently from what
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: I've seen, and I'm not surprised how advanced he is
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: for someone his age because he's very young. But he's
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: been training with Naddy and TJ in the Dungeon. Every
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: time Naddy puts out a new photo from like the
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: latest Dungeon training session, and there's a bunch of wrestlers there,
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: there's a bunch of WWE faces. Fucking Tatanka is there,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: Tatanka's kids are there, and there's Brody Junior, there's Negative One.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: So he's learning from the best and he seems to
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: be coming along very quickly. Also, if and when Cope
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: and Christian win the aw two team titles, would it
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: make up for Tony Kahan not putting the belts on
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: the Hardies. It doesn't make up for anything. I mean,
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Tony couldn't put the belts on the Hardies, you know,
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: because Jeff Hardy messed that up. That's not Tony Khn's fault.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: So it doesn't really have anything to do with the Hardies.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: I just think he wants to make absolutely sure that
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: this other legendary tag team that he happens to have
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: under contract working for him right now, has the opportunity
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: to hold his tag team belts. Griga says Ola Solo
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: Ola Buenos d Buenos Senor Jeremy Rose. Do you think
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: we could get MJF and Bobby Lashley at Wembley Stadium
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: if he is not in a world title match? If not,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: how about mjf's Swerve number one contender for the shot
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: at all out? I think the MJF Lashley thing that
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: ship has sailed that was a very weird thing. How
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: that just kind of ended. I'm sure there's some political
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: reason for it. Maybe one day we'll find out what
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: the answer is to that question, because boy did they
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: shut that shit down quickly between MJF and the Hurt Syndicate,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: and we never really got any sort of resolution to it.
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: Much more likely, if anything, we get MJF and Swerve,
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: not MJF and Bobby Lashley. But yeah, I could see
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: that being a match combat theater. How was uncrowned? Studios?
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: Also watch Batman twenty twenty two. I actually have a
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: note in my phone I am going now I say
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: this now. Of course, it's my one night off that
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: I usually have during the week is Thursday. I am
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: going to attempt I hate to even say this because
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: I'll probably end up watching something else, but I'm going
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: to attempt to watch The Batman tomorrow for the first time.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: I know it's a long movie, so I have to
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: carve out three hours to watch this thing. I just
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: never got to it, so I'm going to attempt to
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: watch it tomorrow. I will keep you posting as far
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: as Uncrowned studios. Yes, I had a very eventful day
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: today because I got to meet the entire Uncrowned team.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: Of course, I've been doing the Uncrowned Wrestling show since
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: February and we're already in the double digits of episodes.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: So I got to meet with Ariel Helwani today and
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: all the great team members that he has over there
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: at Uncrowned. They got to show me around. I got
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: to see the studio. You guys probably saw what I
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: posted on social media, so I got to sit in
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: in the control room. I'm gonna talk more about the
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: Rick Flair interview on the SoundOff. We'll save that for
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: the SoundOff on Sunday. But of all the days for
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: me to show up and hey, I'm going to sit
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: in the control room here for part of the show today,
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: and Rick Flair happens to be on the show. And
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: if you saw that interview today because I saw all
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: of it in real time. Holy shit, what did I
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: pick a day to show up at the studios? That'd
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: be fun to talk about on Sunday. But shout out
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: to Ariel and Eric and Connor and Frank and everybody
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: over there putting the work in every day and all
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: those shows and my show, they're great. It was very cool.
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: Food Hive says, nine days, nine days, Never forget what's
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: going on? Yeah, what's going on? Food Hive says, what
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: was for dinner? What was for dinner too? That's a
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: good question. What was for dinner? Chicken, marinated chicken, and
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: the uh crescent round not crescent rolls. They have crescent rounds.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: So I had some of those and that was it.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: Very simple. The co ninety two. Hold on a second,
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: let's keep this in order, Alex says, brother solo, are
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: you planning on going live for the Saturday Nights Made
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: Event and Double or Nothing pay per view on that
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: busy weekend. I'll be live for Saturday Nights Made Event
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: most likely Double or Nothing is going to be a
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: game time decision. I didn't go live for Dynasty. These
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: pay per views they just they end way too late,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: and I'm already doing a lot of work that weekend.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: That weekend, in particular, if I review the Saturday night
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: show I got the sound off on Sunday, I really
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: don't feel like staying up until fucking twelve thirty and
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: first starting and then reviewing the show, and it's just
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: it's a lot double or nothing is it's fifty to fifty.
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: I went live for Revolution and it just was like,
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: I don't know, it felt kind of dead. I'm like,
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: what am I doing this for? You know, like what
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: am I? What am I? What am I doing? What
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: am I doing? If enough people want it, I'll do it.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: But I didn't get the sense that people were overly excited.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: LC five seven eighty six says MJF probably going to
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: win the TNT title to make it a title versus
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: title match at double or nothing, because Darby said that
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: no rematch unless MJF puts something. Oh okay, you know
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: that's a good point. That is a good point. I
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: don't like it. I don't like that idea. What the
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: hell does he need to what do you need the
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: TNT title involved in this? For so the and the
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: m JF wins he's got two titles, but now he
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: has to drop the TNT title. What the hell is
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: the point of that. I think you may be onto something, though.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: Food Hives is what happened to sound Off TV and
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: movie reviews. I still remember You're Walking Dead one with
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: on Rick Grimes. You've done a few here and there,
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: and your reviews are entertaining, and I think you'll thrive.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: I haven't seen that many movies recently. Actually, that's not true.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: This year I saw Send Help, the Sam Raimi movie.
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: I saw Scream seven, which I did review. I did,
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: just didn't do a separate video on it, but I did.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: I did talk about it on the SoundOff. And I
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: saw The Rip on Netflix with Ben Affleck and Matt Damian,
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: which was very good. Yeah, I just I do them
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: from time to time. It's not like a regular thing.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: But I'm seeing so many movies this year. I'm gonna try.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to review them, even if it's like
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: a short and not like a full blown thing. I'll try.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: I'll I'll try to make the effort. If people are interested,
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: you know, change up the contents a little bit, then
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: maybe that's what we'll do. And the co ninety two.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: Could you see Tony Khan do a aw and r
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: OH pay per view during WrestleMania weekend next year? No,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: what Tony Khan should do, and I would be very
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: surprised if he's not already thinking about it. And if
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: he's not, he should. Tony Khan has the chance to
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: play wrestling hero next year, because I think that he
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: should take the kind of take the leadership roll here
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: and get the ball rolling down the hill and help
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: organize and work with other promoters, whether it's and I
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: don't just mean wrestling promotions themselves, but even like conventions
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: like wrestle Khan, I think that they should all coordinate
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: and have like a big delebration of wrestling, either the
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: week of WrestleMania, not that weekend, so maybe the weekend before.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: I would not run opposite wrestle like shows opposite WrestleMania.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: That would be very stupid, but I think around that
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: time period, you pick a city. I've suggested New Orleans
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: because New Orleans is the one that got the shaft
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: this year, but it could be it could be any
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: number of places. It should be a destination city of
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: some type and organize like a wrestling festival of some
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: kind and he could help spearhead it. So like they're
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: sort of the overseer. They're the ones responsible for it,
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: but he brings people together or these promotions they all
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: piggyback off of it on their own and they run
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: events in the same city and basically what you see
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: for WrestleMania every year, but it's it's kind of around
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: the aw show as opposed to WrestleMania. I absolutely, one
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: hundred percent think that he should organize something like that,
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: or even if he himself is not organizing anything formal,
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: but yes, run some sort of event with the idea
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: that you're going to allow these other events to piggyback
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: off of it, and you just create this period this
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: week where you have all of these different wrestling events
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: going on. I don't know why you wouldn't do that.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: More says you should consider going to double or nothing
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: in person instead, should I? Why should I do that?
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: Then I won't get home until three o'clock in the morning.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: You know how hard it's going to be for me
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: to come home from Queens because I ain't driving in
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: I gotta get on the fucking seven train to go
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: into the city. To come back this way. Yeah, he's
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: sticking his tonge whys Ah like, what the fuck? Yeah
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: he's sticking his toe? Why was Ah like? What the
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: Fuckjavili is back? I thought about it. Though I thought
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: about it. I won't rule it out completely, but probably
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: probably not gonna happen. I have a lot of work
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: to do that weekend as it is. If I'm gonna
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: be live the night before and then do a sound
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: off the next day, I'm not saying it's impossible, you know,
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. Let's
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: see here before we get to Javili. Heavili, I'm gonna
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: get to you here in a second. E j slam
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: your Mets won tonight. I agree, Hogan was never a
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: true babyface, but Brett was never a real heel, and
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: I love Brett more than Kojima loves bread. Brett was
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: never a real heel in ninety seven. He wasn't. There
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: were no lies in anything that he said. The American
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: wrestling fans deserved everything that that man said to them.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: I agree. We have Arabian night refreshing to get matches
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: where they are longer than six minutes. Darby and Shampa
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: went longer than ninety percent of WrestleMania matches. Aw truly
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: where we see wrestling be given time. Gargano watched this
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: and is counting down the days, and Javili with the thirteen.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: If they didn't do Hogan Andre a moment in the
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: WWE Hall of Fame, would they have done Sean versus
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: Brett or Savage versus Steamboat If they weren't going to
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: do Hogan and Andre this year, I think they should
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: have done Seawan and Taker from WrestleMania twenty five. Then
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: you can actually physically get them both there for the ceremony.
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: Favorite WrestleMania ending with number two eighty six? Wait, favorite
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: WrestleMania ending. That's a weird question. Favorite WrestleMania ending with
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: the number two eighty six, ninety six or six? So
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: that would be WrestleMania two, WrestleMania twelve, or WrestleMania twenty two,
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: favorite ending of those three, I mean it would have
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: to be ninety six. Yeah, I would go ninety six.
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: When do you expect a phone call from WWE for
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: Zelopha two. It will come. It will come at some point.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: The commissioner will get that phone call at some point,
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: and we'll have that conversation. And when we do, I
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: will not tell you about that conversation. That will be
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: a privileged conversation. A Staliano. Did you see the whole
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Cogan documentary? If so, what did you think I do?
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: It just came out today, although I did see half
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: of it during WrestleMania, and the portion of it that
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: I saw wasn't anything special. But no, I have not
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: watched it. It just came out today. I was gone all day.
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: I was over at Uncrowned Studios. I only got home
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: in time to have my marinated chicken and get ready
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: for Dynamite. I didn't have time for anything else today,
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: so I'm going to try to get it taken care
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: of before the sound off this weekend. But yes, I
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: will watch it. I have not yet watched it. I
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: need time to sit down and watch it. Anyway. The
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: Gold to the Night was four to seventy five. We
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: fell just short, typical for a Dynamite stream, but it
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: is what it is. We will have to try again
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: on Friday see if we can do some Be the
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: booker and in the meantime, go ahead and hit that
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: like button if you have not already done, so go
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: back and check out the WrestleMania reviews also, or at
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: least skip around to the parts you want. Over one
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand views and counting between both
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: nights of WrestleMania, So thank you for joining me for
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: all of that coverage. We had a very big weekend.
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: Jeremy Rose, do you think we ever get Punk MJF
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: at WrestleMania? No, when and if MJF does eventually go
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: to WWE. By that point, I don't think Punk is
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: going to be active anymore, which is to say, I
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: don't think we're going to see MJF and WWE for
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: quite a while yet. I mean, look, I think that'd
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: be a great WrestleMania match, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: say no on that. I don't think we get it,
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: all right, Be well, stay safe. Oh check out the
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: Uncrowned Wrestling show from yesterday. Didn't just talk WrestleMania and
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: Raw on there. We also talked about the WWE Hall
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: of Fame, which I did not get a chance to
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: cover on the sound off because there is no sounduff
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: from this past weekend. So I talked about the Hall
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: of Fame very mixed feelings. You'll see what I mean
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: when you listen to the show, and also talked about
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: the Josh Barnett story, him shuddering, blood sport, a couple
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: of other things as well. So go ahead and check
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: out the Uncrowned Wrestling Show retro koh. If there was
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: a WWE RPG game, which wrestler would you want to
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: play as? And why? Which wrestler would I want to
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: play as? Macho Man Randy Savage? Because he's macho man
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: Randy Savage. I don't need to I don't need to
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: say anything more than that, he's the total package as
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: far as pro wrestlers go. And Alex says, how many
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: backflips can you do without passing out? It's not a
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: matter of passing out, it's a matter of not, you know,
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: breaking my neck on the way down. Elsie says, you
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: mentioned Roger Rabbit. Correct me if I'm wrong. But Bonkers
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: also had a world where tunes and humans coexist? Did
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: you ever watch that one? But no, I used to
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: eat Bonkers. Bonkers was a great candy when I was
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: a kid. I don't know if it exists anymore, but
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: I don't remember watching Bonkers and Thomas says, we love
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: you solo, thank you. Apparently you love me enough to
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: where we just hit the goal after all, to be
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: the booker. How about that talk about a buzzer beater. Well,
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: on that note, I guess then it's time to be
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: the booker. I didn't think we were going to be
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: doing this tonight, but here we are. But you guys
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: have a flair for the dramatic, don't you. All right,
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: we're gonna kick things off here with Batista and Ramus Stereo.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: They remember they were a tag team at one point,
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: they were tag team champions at one You were supposed
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: to be my friend. You were supposed to be my friend. Yes,
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: I didn't know Dave was Southern. You were supposed to
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: be my friend. But he's the and Ray Mysterio against
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: Jurassic Express, Jack Perry and Lucasurres a very very uh
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: very good tag team match. Got some star power there
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: in that match. Why didn't Stone Cold make an appearance
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: on WrestleMania if he was back to do what? Why
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: would Austin be on this year? As WrestleMania they barely
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: had any wrestling on the show. It was commercial mania.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: John Cena was already hosting. The most he could have
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: done was come out on Night two and toast with
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: John Cena. He didn't miss much. I don't think Austin
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: was interested in sticking around. We have Miss Jackie Jacqueline
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: in the WWE Hall of Fame. Jacqueline is with us.
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: We picked her a few weeks ago. Jacqueline, let's give
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: her a drum roll. Jackie deserves a drum roll. Oh, Becky,
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: two belts? We got Becky Lynch and Miss Jackie? Are
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: we actually going to end up with a sweep when
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: we weren't even going to do? Be the booker? Are
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: we going to get an unexpected sweep here tonight? Is
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: this where we're trending? Moose? There he is? Now we
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: find out who his opponent is going to be Moose,
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: former TNA champion in the main event against someone who
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: is from a part of the world where they have
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: a lot of moose. Is it Moose or Mooses? What
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: would the plural be of moose? I don't know, but
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: I got to give it the bell. What would the
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: plural of moose be? Would it still be moose? Wouldn't
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: be Mooses? That doesn't that doesn't sound right? To me,
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: we got to clean sweep everybody, so you should all
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: be very happy. I'll be very proud of yourselves. Bretteart
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: and moose a very Canadian main event. Moose is plural.
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: Well then if it's plural, then what's the singular? Huh,
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: smart guy, it can't be the same word. Mease, it's
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: not me. Mease who said that to Wab said that
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: more than one moose is plural? Yes, but what is
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: the singular? Then there is no plural for moose. It's
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: just moose. Well that's stupid. I think that needs to
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: change anyway. Can be ranting on this now. Chicago for
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: MBK says ha ha got to be the booker. Yes,
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: and you got a clean sweep too, so congrats. Let's
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: try that again on Friday. Let's see if we could
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: start our new streak. We were doing really well and
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: then the streak was broken on Monday night. So I
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: want to start a new streak where we have multiple
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: clean sweeps. Lonely, lonely moose, it's just moose. I'm not
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: having this discussion anymore. Be well, stay safe. If you
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: want to enjoy some dessert before you go to bed,
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: you can have some Moose, and then come on back
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: here for the SmackDown post show on Friday. Now gonna
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: be a big SmackDown. I don't usually look forward to
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: SmackDown because SmackDown is an awful, horrendous television show. However,
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: this is the post WrestleMania SmackDown, which means there's going
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: to be some moves, not Moose. We're gonna get some
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: new faces on the show. We talked about that in
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: the Raw post show on Monday night. You can go
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: back and check in on that discussion. Who I think
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: is very likely going to move over or be called
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: up and end up on the SmackDown roster. So I
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: want to see who moves over, but also what they
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: do with Cody Rhodes, because his eye is all kinds
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: of fucked up, and I don't know if it's bad
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: enough that he's going to be forced to vacate the title,
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: but there's some question about whether or not he's going
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: to be able to wrestle anytime soon. So we'll hopefully
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: get some answers on the Cody situation on Friday. Join
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: me for that and until then, have yourselves a great
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: rest of your week. Retro gets the last word, It's
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: just me. Moose Day one ish, I'll see you on Friday.
