[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.
0:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.
0:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.
0:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.
0:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Howdy.
0:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Braden and Davie here for Poison, Rana.
0:08
[SPEAKER_01]: We're currently sitting right outside.
0:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Globe-life fields after spending seventeen hours inside the venue.
0:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh boy.
0:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh boy, what a, what a long day, uh, but you know what, I'm, I was struggling.
0:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, this, okay, this is our first time we've got media for the show, which was awesome.
0:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Hell yeah, mainly and something that we've been saying for years.
0:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did these venues not sell coffee?
0:37
[SPEAKER_00]: not sell Red Bull.
0:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And we had coffee on tax.
0:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So my eyes are twitching a little bit, but I'm pretty energized now after that chart.
0:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
0:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Where we had coffee, we had some red bulls.
0:49
[SPEAKER_01]: We're in the zone and we're retired, but we're alive.
0:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And we just watched AEW all in Texas.
0:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And we are all in wheel.
1:01
[SPEAKER_01]: We were and we're still in Texas.
1:03
[SPEAKER_01]: We're still in
1:05
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's been a great day.
1:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a great trip and off the bat.
1:12
[SPEAKER_01]: This was totally worth coming down to the big D to Arlington and witnessing the show live because wow, what a show and what an experience it was.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: incredible show.
1:22
[SPEAKER_00]: We're currently sat at Texas Live looking at the AT&T stadium.
1:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I came here for thirty two, WrestleMania thirty two and they've done up this area.
1:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's pretty beautiful and it's huge.
1:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was fun.
1:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We came.
1:36
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw it a little bit of the tailgate before the show, but we made our way to the venue for about one PM.
1:43
[SPEAKER_01]: we got in and pretty much got to our seats as Kevin Von Erick was delivering the claw I lost my mind this is I was so I would have been so upset if I didn't make it to see the Von Erick's and the claw and literally as we sat down we got to see it so that honestly kicked off my show with in such a good mood yeah we like we can go home now we said we saw Kevin Von Erick to the core in Texas we did we do in Dallas of a place that
2:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Zaka find doing the clothes.
2:14
[SPEAKER_01]: He's aged a little bit.
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: A little bit.
2:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That was already.
2:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still not convinced that Kevin Von Erick is not Eric Roberts.
2:25
[SPEAKER_01]: True.
2:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Have they ever been in the same thing?
2:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I don't know, but we know Eric Roberts shows up everywhere.
2:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so we're just going to get right into it.
2:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It is our last night in Texas and we do hope to maybe hit a Hong Kong or a bar or two later and hopefully not get soaked or because there is a thunderstorm warning.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're flooding almost.
2:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
2:44
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is the quietest place we can we can find.
2:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So if there's any audio quality issues, we apologize in advance, but we wanted to get this show up and out there as soon as possible.
2:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I also just off the bat one to thank everyone who's checked out some of our interviews with the AW wrestlers and stars over on our YouTube poison ronna.ca for links to everything give us a follow here on our podcast feeds and YouTube and I want to shout out everyone we've encountered this week whether it's friends new and old
3:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And to AWS for presenting a great hospitality for us, we had such a fun time that we got to, you know, be involved in interview wrestlers and talk to people and connect.
3:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, wrestling is a weird niche thing, but it helps create a community.
3:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love not only being part of the post wrestling poisoner on a community, but just everything in general, it just feels good vibes all weekend long.
3:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, yeah, I thought the operation was really slick here.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They still need to up their merch game only too much sounds in the entire venue.
3:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But from our point of view, like it was very hospitable.
3:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We got some fantastic interviews out of this and they were very generous with their time and with their energy because it was
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, early in the morning, and those guys had a long weekend too, so we really appreciate that.
3:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And we want to reiterate, thank you for everyone who's checked out our stuff.
4:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you haven't yet, go and check them out.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: The videos are on YouTube, which are pretty fun.
4:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
4:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And we even work, cowboy hats.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
4:09
[SPEAKER_01]: To the show.
4:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So we fit in here.
4:11
[SPEAKER_01]: We were all rowdy, and we were having a good time.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's get into it.
4:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So the first match we saw was the conglomeration and a big boom AJ taking on the Don Carlos family.
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, we didn't get a big boom AJ versus Takeshita like we were hoping all out in Toronto all out what I'm hoping for.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, some fun spots in this rocky Romero got into big justices face and all, or huge justice now.
4:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
4:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
4:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was Trent who faced Pandem.
4:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
4:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
4:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Trent knocked him down, uh, which he can't do that.
4:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still a kid.
4:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and then as a big boom AJ is told who did it.
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, let me fucking at him.
4:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't do that with my with my son.
4:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that so much.
4:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
4:59
[SPEAKER_01]: You just I mean, big justice literally bigger than taller than some of these wrestlers now.
5:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, this this was great.
5:04
[SPEAKER_01]: He even had big big boom AJ even had new cookie gear.
5:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And I had asked him about his cooking gear from last time we saw him wrestle live in New Jersey for full gear.
5:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And now he got more updated stuff.
5:15
[SPEAKER_01]: That was pretty cool.
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But we also asked if he had been hanging out with Ishi and gone to Costco and clearly they had because there was a great, we all know that Ishi no sell.
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: where that they were attacking him and he just like shakes it off and absorb it and we had it like tandem style with AJ as well, which was pretty fun.
5:34
[SPEAKER_00]: And then big justice coming in with the spear and how a boom to rocky.
5:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so big justice hits Trent with the spear and Trent Beretta sells it like the rock selling a stone cold center.
5:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think big justice doesn't the case of beers and that how it worked with the rock and honestly that was awesome to see and then the power boom
5:55
[SPEAKER_01]: man, just miss hour watching down on big boomers.
5:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, he's got a really nice similar style like coming down to the knees with the stat.
6:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It looked really nice.
6:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe he's turned around now.
6:05
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a huge big boomer.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I still, I still kind of feel it might have run its course a bit.
6:10
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no.
6:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Lovely guy.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it was impressed.
6:13
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a fun way.
6:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I think having that on the pre show as before filing in, it gets the energy up.
6:18
[SPEAKER_00]: really well.
6:19
[SPEAKER_01]: You know though I noticed a lot of people wearing big boom AJ big justice, risler like like merch like today.
6:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So they are still a draw like they are still quite the draw here.
6:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So good for them and I hope we can see them down a lot.
6:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think being used in this particular thing like a pre show and getting you know the crowd amped and stuff but look at the weeks months of
6:42
[SPEAKER_01]: promo this guy was doing.
6:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah better than some of the rest of us.
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He said in that interview he's basically been living here like to to hype up their show so all the credit to to those.
6:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I love them so much.
6:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I said that was that was so much fun.
6:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We then had FTR versus the outrunners rematch from collision the other week.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Now neither us are like avid collision watchers, but we both checked out this match and loved it.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't say this one lived up to that.
7:11
[SPEAKER_00]: the outrunners being cheated out of it with a bit of stoically interference.
7:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it was a way to get them on the card, but really didn't reach the level of that collision match, but I feel this feud is continuing.
7:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, runners have a good thing going for them right now.
7:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, honestly, they're really over, especially the, uh, what's the, the son of the, you son of a bitch, the elbow, like the, the Arnold Schwarzenegger thing.
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I, I thought that was the crowd were really into them.
7:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can see the owner is getting a bit of a push going forward.
7:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Even they didn't win, but like, honestly,
7:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They're getting popular, so I could see more of them down the line.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: We then open the show with the trio's championship, the Ops, taking on the deaf riders.
7:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We have this huge spine buster to Claudio from Hobbs, but that gets broken up, Claudio with the pop-up uppercut for a two-count, and then this kind of
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Doomsday device from Hobbs and Joe, which look awesome.
8:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like a super doomsday device, which was nasty.
8:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Also someone hit a brainbuster on Shabbata.
8:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's necessarily wise.
8:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he going to get his brain even there?
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still in a jar somewhere in Japan.
8:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe
8:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, Gabe with the brain vuster to Shabbada, but then Hobbs and Gabe fall to the floor and we get the muscle buster from Joe to you for the win.
8:28
[SPEAKER_00]: After the match, we had a beat down and the death riders, Kilmanized the neck of Samoa Joe as they've been doing.
8:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So kind of writing mal of being help in the main event.
8:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Fun match.
8:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was an interesting choice for an opener.
8:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't necessarily think it was like the hottest way to get the crowd going.
8:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this could have maybe been a breather later in, but the work was good.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess it's more that show-long story of these characters being written out of the main event.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Now again, we're literally recording this outside the venue as it just happened and before we everyone was going into the venue, the news broke about Adam Cole.
9:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, being replaced, being taken out of all in and I think that also maybe they had to reshift something.
9:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So potentially could have
9:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But also the angle with Joe to take him out so he wouldn't interfere in the match later.
9:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe also purposely done earlier in the show.
9:19
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, a really fun opener.
9:21
[SPEAKER_01]: The crowd were really invested in these characters.
9:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was fun to see.
9:24
[SPEAKER_01]: But I felt bad for Joe.
9:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Even Joe being put on a stretcher.
9:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still cool as fuck.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: We then go to the men's casino gauntlet starting as we already knew with mjf and mark brisco Post go for rollups early.
9:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love for them to book one of these gauntlets on dynamite one week and it is just like a flash finish before anyone comes
9:47
[SPEAKER_00]: like just to just to kind of tease that it can happen yeah we then had Ricochet come up came out who formed a brief alliance with mgf teaming up on brisco the fourth-centrant bandido who did that crazy one-handed military press to ricochet just
10:04
[SPEAKER_00]: incredible.
10:06
[SPEAKER_01]: You had MJF teasing that he was going to rip the mask of Bandito, and then of course, you.
10:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we had to question that.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, right.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Following up from Ring of Honor from last night, which we still yet see, but we've heard incredible things.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And then yes, MJF attempting to remove the mask of Bandito when mystical comes out.
10:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He lets the music everyone just runs out and then music kind of stops because it's like a row of rumble, right?
10:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Like your music only plays for a little bit.
10:32
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
10:44
[SPEAKER_00]: everyone with their lights on their phone as well.
10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: The goal we were sat next to was trying to find a friend in the crowd and he goes, I'll put on my flashlight so you can see just as mystic okay now and he's like, well fuck.
10:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We then had the salt of the earth to MJF and he goes to tap when risco grabs the other arms stopping from tapping also applying.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: the salt of the earth, which I thought was a pretty fun spot.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: To catch the brakes it out and in at number seven, Josh Alexander with suplexes all round is Batbreaker to Bandito on the Yacht crew.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: This is cool.
11:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're from Toronto.
11:18
[SPEAKER_01]: We've watched Josh Alexander in a ton of indie shows.
11:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I've watched Josh Alexander since he was wrestling and I've watched him wrestle in front of fifteen people and today I watched him wrestle in a stadium.
11:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I was really cool, honestly.
11:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I love seeing, uh, to catch an Alexander in this match.
11:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought this match itself just stacked of all the town in it involved.
11:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Bowens was out, not out next.
11:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He tells both Alexander and to catch to suck his dick.
11:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Pride may be over, but not with Bowens.
11:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's a back flip into this electric chair from Ricochet and just rocked into this crazy knee.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, looked awesome.
11:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Roddy comes out next.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Then Brody King and the first surprise of the gauntlet is Juice Robinson, who I
12:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw someone tweet on Twitter which I loved.
12:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like juice Robinson came back looking like every other wrestler but juice Robinson.
12:08
[SPEAKER_01]: He looked like boat Alice dressed as the Undertaker.
12:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and Undertaker with no tattoos like he he's changed his gear.
12:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the black like tights with the singlet topped clean shaven.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of weird, but bigger pop than I was expecting with the surprise of juice.
12:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think
12:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Most people were expecting a J. White return.
12:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not quite sure on injuries and stuff like that.
12:27
[SPEAKER_01]: But to have juice come out, I think it was pretty cool.
12:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Because some people were like, wait, is that juice?
12:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Who?
12:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
12:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Who?
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever juice used to do.
12:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was cool to see him.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Gates of agony running there to help ricochet as they've just formed their reliance.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And then ricochet with the shooting star for a near fall.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they go for the double choke slam on juice when the guns come out.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a surprise here because there's been some rumblings about, you know, they've not been on TWTV.
12:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think one of them put out a tweet out there.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we're not injured, we're good.
13:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So guns returning, which was good to see, they hit the three-tenth of you from Ricochet, but it's only a two-count from Juice.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Three-tenth of you, I'm a great movie by the way.
13:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Original End the Remake.
13:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Just have to shout that out.
13:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was cool.
13:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Guns up considering their, you know, there has been some rumblings of A, where these guys been.
13:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was pretty cool.
13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: But then the question is, where was Joe?
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: We then hand a bushy coming out next.
13:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a bit of a moment with to Kester.
13:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this was made for me.
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, two of my favorites here to Kester being my, my new one ace in the last few years ever since coming into AWS.
13:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But Koda bushy to Kester, I think we need to get to that singles match down the line.
13:36
[SPEAKER_01]: But seeing those two just stare at each.
13:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I was waiting for that moment as soon as Kester bushy's movie music hit.
13:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was pretty cool.
13:43
[SPEAKER_00]: He then goes out with Brody King when the beast mortis comes up and Roderick like opens up for a hug with mortis.
13:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't always watch collisions.
13:54
[SPEAKER_00]: So it wasn't sure what was going on here.
13:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what would they have in common here?
13:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess they've had a little dude or something.
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: They break backs.
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and then, uh, but Mortus just delivers a headbutt, uh, and Ddo hits the X knee, and then goes to the twenty one plaques when Takeshda comes behind him to live to deliver like a double German superites, which look not insane.
14:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Roddy's running in flying knees everywhere.
14:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, bushy and Mortus are going for it, going on it.
14:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He goes to the Kamagoye, but strong flies in with a knee, and the end of heartache for a near fall, and then platinum max.
14:32
[SPEAKER_00]: is next.
14:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
14:35
[SPEAKER_01]: That chant has worked because people were really injured and people were just expecting him to get his ass kicked.
14:40
[SPEAKER_00]: The audio is kind of weird in a stadium because like it's you know this is a baseball stadium and there's not necessarily set up for like concerts and events like this.
14:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So especially where we were sitting couldn't really hear what Max was saying but
14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure it was.
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the best wrestler alive.
14:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Bowens goes right after him and then we get a J-driller from Mark Briscoe to Roderick Strong.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And MGF creeps in throws Roddy out and throw Briscoe out and picks up the pin.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So MGF has a future title shot, which I think we kind of
15:14
[SPEAKER_00]: predicted.
15:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the right move.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think MJF and the hurt syndicate has been a thing that is working and obviously if we're going forward with whoever is our world champion.
15:25
[SPEAKER_01]: MJF is a number one contender.
15:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if this is necessarily the cash in kind of thing.
15:29
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't the fast.
15:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So I imagine he could use this for a cash in his character makes sense for someone who would do that.
15:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's also already funny with him the way he's already holding up this contract.
15:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like showing it around like, look, see, I am the next champion.
15:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it was the right decision for MJ after win, but this was great.
15:46
[SPEAKER_01]: This is like the casino thing is really hit for AEW because it's a match that maybe the first few times there was some kinks, but they fixed it.
15:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's, I don't know, the last last year, obviously it all in Wembley.
15:58
[SPEAKER_01]: And then now this year, like, look at all those people that were in this match.
16:01
[SPEAKER_01]: They are incredible talent.
16:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So this was really fun.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great way to, you know, it is a get everyone on the card kind of match.
16:09
[SPEAKER_00]: but it allows for these actual kind of
16:14
[SPEAKER_00]: moments because it is a resting match.
16:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not elimination.
16:17
[SPEAKER_00]: You can do the clear the ring and have some people go out of it.
16:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You can continue stories like you do with the raw rumble.
16:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I did.
16:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I did feel kind of like a raw rumble that we've had in recent years because the roster so stacked because you want to get everyone on there.
16:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe latter couple of surprises that would have been fun, but it's also as you say, the talent on this roster.
16:39
[SPEAKER_00]: You do want to get them all on the bigger show.
16:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was really unstable.
16:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I really love this and again, like the little glimpses of certain restos versus other people that have fought or haven't fought yet.
16:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So to Kesta, Abushi, Bingers crossed all out Toronto, we get that match.
16:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we're going to get that before though.
16:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I love how Taylor Swift's just playing in the background as so.
17:03
[SPEAKER_00]: We then had Adam Cole come out.
17:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't announced as you mentioned earlier in the day that Adam Cole relinquished the AWTNT championship and due to injury.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we've seen in the past we've had.
17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: interim titles and things like that.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So the fact it was really pushed, I think, we were going, oh, this doesn't sound great.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And we noticed Roderick's strong hanging back around the ring.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw in the back Kyle O'Reilly was preparing to come out and we went, oh, this doesn't look good.
17:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a very emotional moment for Adam Cole here, holding back Tira's crying and everything.
17:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was pretty sad for him to tell us, like, hey, this isn't goodbye, but it could be.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's, uh, I get it.
17:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I get wanting to do it in front of the most fans like him having that moment with the fans.
17:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It was, uh, it's like, it's so emotional.
17:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Him holding back the tears, him with the boys with a big hug.
18:01
[SPEAKER_00]: As you said, he said he's, uh, having a lot of health issues.
18:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He kind of said, I don't want to be talking about retirement.
18:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But it could be the case.
18:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So all the best to Adam Cole and this unfortunately did suck the life out of the stadium for a while.
18:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone was pretty bummed about it, just because, you know, these people put their bodies on the line for iron or a team and we've definitely watched a lot of Adam Cole going back to NXT going back to a ring of honor.
18:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we've been following him and it's such a bummer.
18:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He's only like around our age.
18:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He's his early thirties.
18:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And at thirties, if that, it's like man, like
18:36
[SPEAKER_01]: that I feel that and I hope he can come back better than ever.
18:41
[SPEAKER_01]: One day, possibly next year, in two years, three years, we've seen other wrestlers come back from serious injuries and I do hope that it's not the end of Adam Cole.
18:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And it if it is like he could totally be in the wrestling world commentary.
18:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, like there's so many things that he's been doing commentary a lot recently.
18:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously he's a great talker.
19:00
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a role for him.
19:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And the most important thing is
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: being healthy, you know, he was talking about when he came back from his previous injury, about waking up with seizures and that shit like that.
19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So we don't know what it is.
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if the press conference is going on right now.
19:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if any more is being said there.
19:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:19
[SPEAKER_01]: At this point, we don't, they didn't say what it was.
19:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, we hope, we hope is all right.
19:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you, Bay Bay, for all the entertainment, and I hope we can see him wrestle again.
19:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So we go to the TNT Championship match next, which is Daniel Garcia, as he's making his entrance, he's giving, like, he's in tears, he gets a whole massive hug.
19:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He's sharing some words with him.
19:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Sammy Gavara, Dustin Rhodes, and Kyle Fletcher.
19:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And as we said, this took a while to get going.
19:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Sammy does his, like, sex god pose and Danny Garcia doing his dance.
19:52
[SPEAKER_00]: They're trying to lift the crowd and everyone's like, I don't know if I want to be watching this.
19:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to see two guys dancing while we were all like pretty bummed out, but then you know what?
20:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the booking of this match turned everything around by the end because Dustin and Sammy already wrestled the Bon Ayrton everything earlier, but then they were added into this match as well as Dan and Garcia, and I think some people were like, oh, why is this
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: the match and I think it was the right car.
20:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
20:18
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd started to pick up when Dustin was going for the the natural kick the the golden globe.
20:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:27
[SPEAKER_01]: How do you cheer people up?
20:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Just I don't know.
20:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's everyone kick down the flag during the day.
20:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So and everyone with Danny was like, Garcia was like, Oh, let me go first.
20:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
20:35
[SPEAKER_00]: kicks him in the dick.
20:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Sammy's like, let me go next.
20:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He kicks him in the dick.
20:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Dustin doing it.
20:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, where there's, uh, fled to come in back in with his like flying Gaman Gary and the corners sets up for what looks like he's going to be the top rope rainbuster.
20:51
[SPEAKER_00]: when Sammy comes in with a carter from out of nowhere.
20:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we get this roll up from Dustin.
20:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Daniel Garcia locks in at the Dragon Tamer, the Sharp Shooter, the Scorpion Death Lock, whatever you want to call it, onto Dustin and Dustin counters it with a small package for the win.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And Dustin Rhodes winning his first singles championship since nineteen ninety nine.
21:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, what was the other one?
21:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I see.
21:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
21:20
[SPEAKER_00]: It, like, after this happened, like, I went, yeah, that makes complete set.
21:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in tears.
21:26
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Texas.
21:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They were going crazy.
21:28
[SPEAKER_00]: His family came out.
21:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Family came out.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, if you just had Fletcher win, I do see this tile going to Fletcher.
21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you just had him win this match, which is now relatively cold match,
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll just be okay.
21:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think giving Dustin this moment, it really, it cheered up this crowd.
21:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen some people going, oh, these old guy holding people back.
21:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, Dustin's been fucking killing it for years.
21:53
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the TNT championship.
21:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like he's winning the world title here.
21:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He deserves his flowers and winning in a stadium in his home state.
22:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Like genuine emotion.
22:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I got emotion watching.
22:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:06
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't, he can hold this a couple of weeks and have Carl Fletcher.
22:10
[SPEAKER_00]: kill him and win this title and he'll heal up Kyle Fletcher even more.
22:15
[SPEAKER_00]: You've given Dustin that moment.
22:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this is a great decision.
22:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly everyone was talking in the stadium.
22:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I was such a bummer like Adam Cole and then it took a while to get the smash going and then having Dustin win, I think it brought the life back into this crowd and everyone was just so pumped at this guy.
22:31
[SPEAKER_01]: The son of Texas Gold Dust
22:33
[SPEAKER_01]: When in some gold here in a w and I think it was a total right move and I can totally see flat your versus gold.
22:38
[SPEAKER_01]: That's sorry, Dustin versus pleasure in a week or so on a dynamite or something.
22:43
[SPEAKER_01]: But honestly, it was the right call because I don't think it would have worked any other way.
22:47
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it would have, yeah, it would have been anticlimactic, I think, but anyone else winning this and it would felt it would have felt like a
22:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a consolation prize whoever else won this in a way.
22:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:58
[SPEAKER_00]: We then go to who I think both of us dubbed separately in our notes.
23:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Swirvespray.
23:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I literally wrote Swirvespray and then you you didn't even look at me and they were like.
23:10
[SPEAKER_01]: What what with their tag team name swears right I was like yeah, I wrote that down to so that's that's pretty funny.
23:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I I was just about to say David.
23:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Texas.
23:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't smelled anything that I've smelled in a little while and then I look over and oh Is that Westside gun oh Yeah
23:26
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, sorry about that.
23:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So, everyone in this match had big entrances.
23:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Osprey with the the updated Assassin's Creed entrance with the with the Ray Mysterio like leap out of the ground.
23:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, who's that jumping out the sky?
23:42
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of pyro for Osprey.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: The the guy next to us was like, who does he think he is Cody Rhodes?
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we then had Jojo Offerman.
23:50
[SPEAKER_00]: The, uh, Grey Wyatt's Widow, former looking announcer in WWE.
23:56
[SPEAKER_00]: singing ain't nobody by which shush I can't think to introduce Swerve Strickland for his entrance she sounded great I think she's always sounded great it's like it's great Joe Joe getting an opportunity like this
24:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Although I know we were lucky enough in media to see was Joe Joe on the telly.
24:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:20
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of the crowd were like, is that someone the Robin?
24:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Like who who is this?
24:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think in the audience, they didn't necessarily tell us who it was and if you were a far away, you couldn't you just think it's some singer.
24:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
24:30
[SPEAKER_01]: But in in the media boxes, we do have like screens and commentary and everything as well.
24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is really cool.
24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually watching wrestling event.
24:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
24:38
[SPEAKER_01]: With space so I can talk around and stand.
24:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
24:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So my hat.
24:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Down, I had drunk coffee.
24:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a chocolate moose.
24:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I eat something.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, it took me a second to realize like, hey, what?
24:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is it JoJo?
24:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I remember that Swerve has definitely talked about Bray Wyatt over the years.
24:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He, he remember had like the, the gear.
24:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The, the brain spiked gear.
24:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for the Texas death match.
24:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I guess.
25:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we had the founding fathers, the young bucks come out on a boat.
25:07
[SPEAKER_01]: They're on a boat.
25:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this was one of the motherfucking boats.
25:10
[SPEAKER_01]: This was a really ridiculous entrance and ridiculous deer, but I loved it.
25:15
[SPEAKER_01]: They hammed it up real well.
25:17
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw it.
25:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like on this kind of cherry picker thing that I've been covered.
25:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
25:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's slowly going down and Osprey is like pointing to his like imaginary watch going like common lads hurry up.
25:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean this show went seven hours so Osprey
25:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, come on.
25:33
[SPEAKER_00]: That's hurry it up, but no, this is pretty fun.
25:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I had the the Mount Rush Bowl with just the young.
25:38
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like two of their faces both times, which is pretty funny, but I always I was also worried for Persworth.
25:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, I was worried for the bucks on that that cherry picker was lower.
25:48
[SPEAKER_01]: You could tell they were like, oh
25:49
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a little shaky.
25:52
[SPEAKER_00]: We see some like tag team chemistry with Swerve and Osprey early when Osprey hits a Skytvista press off the back of Swerve for a two count and then it's a lot of the bucks isolating Osprey leading to that hot tag and then
26:08
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a move where like Osprey what pushed Swerve off the turnbuckle to like give him momentum like a like a twist press kind of move.
26:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick then stomps the back of Osprey into a power bomb from Nick which then like counters into a move sold to the floor.
26:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Osprey receiving punches from Nick but he's firing up
26:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt actually sets up for the buck shot at one point, but gets caught into a power bomb.
26:35
[SPEAKER_00]: That gets counted.
26:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And now everyone is super kicking each other, swirfizing with a house call.
26:41
[SPEAKER_00]: There's double Canadian destroys from the buck immediately into a hidden blade.
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: House call sequence this.
26:49
[SPEAKER_00]: like to crowd then standing up.
26:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:51
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just fucking nuts.
26:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone is talking about these crazy sequences in this match.
26:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Like after the match, everyone's just buzzing from how can I, I thought much to my son.
27:01
[SPEAKER_01]: How can human beings do these kinds of things?
27:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Very impressive.
27:04
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people in media were turning round before this one.
27:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Like good luck.
27:08
[SPEAKER_01]: No, yes, one guy.
27:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone recognizes and it was like, yeah, that's, that's going to be hard.
27:14
[SPEAKER_00]: We then got a double stiles clash from Swav Spray for a two counts and then a Swav Stomp Storm Brayka.
27:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Never seen that and that was a great like combo.
27:24
[SPEAKER_01]: This was Spray Storm Brayker house.
27:28
[SPEAKER_01]: What would be the short the house?
27:30
[SPEAKER_01]: There we go.
27:31
[SPEAKER_01]: The storm breaker because that would be hangman.
27:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the house burner.
27:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The storm breaker.
27:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Star breaker.
27:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
27:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
27:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We then have Nick healing it up with a super kick to Prince Nana on the floor.
27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd was mad at that.
27:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And then a T. K. Driver to Swerve on the floor.
27:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Hidden blade from Nick to Osprey, and then more bang for your buck, but a kick-out.
27:51
[SPEAKER_00]: They then set up for the EVP trigger, but this gets counted into a Oscarter attempt, which gets counted back into the EVP trigger.
27:59
[SPEAKER_00]: But the pin is broken up by Swerve.
28:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We get a hidden blade, but Nick Darts, and Will takes Swerve's head off, which I thought was a nice little tease for
28:11
[SPEAKER_00]: potential dissension.
28:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We knew the stakes going into this match and you know will want this match where it was like why did you add those stakes?
28:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought a nice little kind of red herring here in the middle of the match.
28:22
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it was it was pretty good and there was there was like a sense of debt like could swore leave the match.
28:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like something, right?
28:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was good.
28:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We get another EVP trigger, but a kick out, and then as Osprey is strong up in the roads, the box are delivering repeated superkicks, and then they're teasing for the double superkick when Swerve sacrifices himself, just like Will did the other week.
28:45
[SPEAKER_00]: and block it.
28:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's eating the super kicks, but Swerve is not coming down.
28:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And then finally the double kick, they set up for the EVP trigger to Swerve, but Swerve blocks it.
28:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And Osprey comes flying in with a hidden blade.
29:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We then get a Swerve stomped pile driver for a two count, another hidden blade, but the pin gets broken up.
29:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Matt is left in the middle of the ring and eats.
29:14
[SPEAKER_00]: a hidden blade house whole house cool combo and Swiss rain winds.
29:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, honestly, wow, what a match.
29:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Just talking about it now.
29:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to go back and watch it.
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how you know, a match was really good when you watch something live.
29:26
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, yeah, I got to watch that back.
29:28
[SPEAKER_01]: The sequence is the counters, the
29:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Like us, Osprey going way back has wrestle with the bucks many times.
29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Like PWG, et cetera.
29:37
[SPEAKER_01]: But their styles work so well.
29:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And then adding in Swerve.
29:41
[SPEAKER_01]: He's also like, no slouch when it comes to some crazy sequences of being able to hold up.
29:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought all four guys were just going at it.
29:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And some of those kickouts like we were biting on like the big combos and the TK drivers and all that stuff.
29:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the addition of the stakes of Osprey and Swerve not challenging for a year, us knowing it's Wembley next year.
30:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
30:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that added like an added drama because I think when it was just like if you lose, you lose your titles.
30:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
30:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It, I thought, oh, well, they're going to win this.
30:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And then adding those extra stakes, you're like, oh, I don't know.
30:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, some of the sequences here were nuts.
30:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, the bucks are at a point where they don't need the tag titles.
30:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this feels like a main event we've seen it before with like Kenny and Paige against these two.
30:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
30:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Kenny and Coder against these two and having
30:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Swerv and Osprey and to steal a phrase from our good friend Beno in a bit of a side mission against the box I thought made a whole lot of sense and this match This match lifted the crowd as I said we were kind of a bit down in the dumps off the colonel cement dust in help lift us and then this match just put everything back on track
30:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the bucks are a lot of fun to hate, right?
30:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they're great heels in this silly role, what they're silly, silly gear and everything that founding fathers put I love it.
31:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a huge bucks fan, and I still am, and I'm so happy I got to see this one in person, because the chemistry was definitely off the charts with these.
31:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, those sequences are going to be clipped all over the social media just because of what they were doing, and how these guys are able to do it is beyond me, but what a match.
31:18
[SPEAKER_00]: and anyone who's like, oh, yeah, it's it's no selling.
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't they grab a headlock?
31:22
[SPEAKER_00]: No fuck off with it.
31:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
31:24
[SPEAKER_01]: They like, they sell and then they all collapse in some point.
31:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
31:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
31:27
[SPEAKER_01]: There's there was some really adrenaline rushes.
31:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't you?
31:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this.
31:31
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the like, hidden blade house car, so like the house blade?
31:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
31:36
[SPEAKER_01]: The house.
31:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He got in your drawer, you know, everyone's got house blade.
31:39
[SPEAKER_00]: The hidden cool house blade.
31:40
[SPEAKER_00]: The hidden car.
31:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
31:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I know if you're those two.
31:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
31:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we then go to the Women's Court match.
31:45
[SPEAKER_00]: We start with Statlander, Meghan Bane, and then Willow comes out.
31:50
[SPEAKER_00]: She's teasing the Dr. Bomber, but Bane takes her head off with this huge, laryat, time mellow enters next, and this is where Penelope Ford runs out, trying to interfere.
32:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Harley Cameron, who returns after a broken nose at lightning, is flashing in the distance.
32:07
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how we don't get struck here.
32:08
[SPEAKER_01]: But, uh, Harley coming out with the like a
32:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like a cat like I think cat mice did you get it from TV on the house maybe from NXT?
32:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But she Heldes get rid of Penelopey Ford.
32:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Tecler comes out next.
32:21
[SPEAKER_00]: We get a Taipeio, a pin gets blocked, a doctor bomb gets blocked.
32:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Julia Hart and I found it interesting in these gauntlet matches.
32:30
[SPEAKER_00]: People who got big pops that I wasn't necessarily expecting and Julia Hart had a huge pot here.
32:36
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I was expecting for people to sing her theme song and boy was I right.
32:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw this couple down in front and they had their arms around each other and their arms in the air like the other hands in the air like singing all the lyrics like the hell so is that's like a heart always.
32:52
[SPEAKER_00]: The heart always was of course yes.
32:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Ty then delivers a gosh pile driver to heart when Queen Aminada comes out another great theme tune although it should be some Vaishade.
33:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Queen Aminada.
33:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Tecla and Aminada are going at it, continuing their feud that's been building the last few month or so.
33:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We get a spinning neck breaker from Tecla and then a running boot from Aminada in the rogue switch.
33:19
[SPEAKER_00]: This running boot she does looks awesome.
33:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I yeah, there's so much more they should be doing with Queen Aminada.
33:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you know right now they they
33:29
[SPEAKER_01]: They are going to position her.
33:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I think like right now there's too many cooks in the title scenes and stuff, but I think she's going to be a project for it.
33:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's got like an incredible look, great theme music, great gimmick.
33:40
[SPEAKER_00]: She can talk and like her wrestling's awesome.
33:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved Tecla and Julia Hart both simultaneously doing like the upside down things in the corner.
33:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Stony blue is then interfering when Mina Shirakara Shirakawa comes out We're the only people in the in the whole stadium singing along to Donza Kaduro even though it kind of sounds like it's not I need to learn that dance as well.
34:04
[SPEAKER_01]: It's right isn't it just shaking I don't know
34:07
[SPEAKER_00]: She does the shimmy in the ring, but it's kicked in the back of the head by Bain and Stattlander, and then Sky Blue continues to attack Mina.
34:15
[SPEAKER_00]: When Mina just gets her up in this huge twisting slam, and then another big reaction, the hometown girl, Athena.
34:23
[SPEAKER_00]: ounce of ring of honor of security comes out number nine delivers a power bomb to mean a double fallway slam drop kicks all round her hands bring clothes line in the corner and then thunder roaster comes out I've been hearing pretty good things about their match from ring of honor as well and she goes right after Athena picking stuff up from last night and then number eleven
34:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Shuri.
34:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I think this is where you understand what the AEW fan base is because this was a stadium full of people who reacted to Shuri coming out.
35:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you had Shuri debut in the Royal Rumble, you would not have got this reaction.
35:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just thought this was a big eye opener.
35:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, yeah, everyone here
35:12
[SPEAKER_01]: nose wrestling yeah yeah no I saw that there was the video for ring of honor and people maybe we're assuming hey that would be a good spot for her I know there was also a Tokyo Yoshi pro show in Texas this weekend as well and maybe people were assuming some of the those wrestlers were going to show up at the but I think this is a pretty cool from what we've seen from her in the past this is a pretty cool addition of it yeah yeah
35:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Mina and Shuri have a bit of a stare down when Alex Windsor new signing comes out and she looked really impressive.
35:43
[SPEAKER_00]: She's delivering this nasty looking draping DDT to Shuri, delivering these suplexes all round, goes for a pin, but everyone breaks it up.
35:53
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where we had those like tandem, tarantulas you mentioned.
35:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
35:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Willow hits a DVD to Athena on the apron and this looks scary.
36:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
36:04
[SPEAKER_00]: like she took it on her head.
36:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone is on the outside when Megan Bane climbs the top, but Stattlander grabs her and power bombs her on top of everyone.
36:16
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Meena come off the top with a sling blade to Rosa and then rolling elbows and around house followed by her spinning back this the urchin if you will and then she sets up for the figure for Leglock.
36:30
[SPEAKER_00]: but we see Athena climbing to the top and hits her with the eclipse.
36:36
[SPEAKER_00]: The Oathase?
36:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't watch Ring of Honor.
36:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So yes, but that's like you're gonna say you never seen an Oathase.
36:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The leaping stunner and Athena picks up the win, a great finish here.
36:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, a fun golden match.
36:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, super fun seeing all the different, again, all the different combinations of certain wrestlers facing off and having their little moments, but then awesome moment for Athena.
37:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been a big fan of her wrestling for a long time and to have a moment like this, not only wrestling in this stadium in Texas, but winning the match to.
37:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think she rightfully deserved it, you know, this weekend is Evolution Two.
37:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And last week, we looked back at Evolution One, in
37:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Like man, Amber Moon was getting some of the biggest reactions and biggest star power.
37:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And look what they did with her.
37:25
[SPEAKER_01]: They fumbled her.
37:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was really cool to her to have this moment.
37:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
37:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she was completely the right winner.
37:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt similar why I felt about the men's like, coulda maybe done with a surprise or two extra.
37:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We did see, we spotted like shot, see him for Celicelli in the crowd.
37:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
37:41
[SPEAKER_00]: We're wondering, oh, I wonder if they're gonna come out.
37:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But also just how far this women's division has come on.
37:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the talent is great.
37:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not super familiar with Alex Windsor.
37:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I've learned on social media, she's Mrs. Osprey, right?
37:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
37:56
[SPEAKER_01]: But she was really impressive.
37:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to see some more of her.
37:59
[SPEAKER_01]: She was in some crazy looking moves, and I definitely need to see what else she can do.
38:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she was super impressive.
38:06
[SPEAKER_00]: What I like about the Athena win was she already has this, the kind of story from the, uh, from the tournament, the other one.
38:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, with Mercedes.
38:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So you go, oh, maybe Mercedes could win and you do that rematch or a crash.
38:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe a cash in, but also you think.
38:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But Tony and Athena, that is something very fresh and a fresh direction of, you know, a top talent to go against Tony.
38:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So up.
38:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you watch matches like this and it kind of tips the hand.
38:37
[SPEAKER_00]: You're main event is, oh, this person's one, so it's likely, you know, a heel wins this.
38:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It's likely a baby face is going to win this.
38:43
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought this kind of kept it open, which was smart.
38:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
38:47
[SPEAKER_01]: No, again, super, super fun.
38:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I prefer the men's casino just because again, some of the combinations I was like losing my mind, but I still really enjoy.
38:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the casino gauntlet idea.
38:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's such a great, like, match-up.
38:58
[SPEAKER_01]: And to keep it and make it special for these stadium shows, the crowds, the people really get into it.
39:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And then again, you're like a rumble, like the speculating stuff.
39:06
[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing is you never know how many actual people are going to be in it.
39:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So unlike a rumble, you can't gamble on it.
39:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we're gonna figure out how I feel I feel both of these had more engines than any of the other ones before I think the top we've had before was twelve I believe this was these were both around thirteen old we had twelve in the women's I think about around twelve for both yeah
39:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, seems sweet spot.
39:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, that's when we had a bit of a wonder.
39:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We went into the crowd to like sit for the next few matches in the crowd.
39:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Shadow and media box.
39:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
39:36
[SPEAKER_01]: We shout out our friends, Golden Graham, Daniel, John Cena, we will reckless Rob.
39:41
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to hang out.
39:42
[SPEAKER_01]: We met some other people as I said off the top.
39:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out anyone we met this weekend, but we hang out with with our crew for a little while.
39:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to watch Omega Conno with my boys, especially Daniel.
39:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We went to Tokyo together.
39:53
[SPEAKER_01]: We've seen a lot of Kenny's big matches together.
39:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So we kind of wanted to see the heat blue in after telling him we booked this trip.
39:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wanted to make sure.
40:00
[SPEAKER_01]: But then when we thought it was going to be Omega Conno, it wasn't yet.
40:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, ah, we'll stay for a few matches.
40:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So we stood, we sat in a different section for a few different matches.
40:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's when we kind of realized there was like a foul.
40:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Let you sit in the behind us, he recognized you, gave us a little one two.
40:17
[SPEAKER_00]: There was all these wrestlers sitting in sky blue gates of agony with their willows there.
40:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like people from other GCW and stuff as well.
40:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was cool.
40:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone kind of there to support.
40:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, I think I saw the Kesta wearing a frog shirt.
40:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so first of all, I need to know what that frog shirt was and where he got it.
40:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And second of all, I need to know if he wants another frog shirt from shop-tees.com.
40:40
[SPEAKER_01]: because I'm wearing a frog shirt.
40:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want to bug him that kind of guy, but he's in my vicinity and he's also wearing a frog shirt.
40:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm right now wearing a frog shirt.
40:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like me and to catch to him more like than I thought.
40:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We then go to the AEW tag team championship match.
40:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It was announced earlier in the show that FTR were going to be on commentary at ringside for this one, which I think we would then go.
41:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I think we're probably getting the
41:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Potential Edge and Christian reunion here at the end of this.
41:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is JetSpeed, the patriarchy and the hurt syndicate going at it.
41:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Knight is showing like, I know he got Javon at NXT, but Kevin Knight is bouncy as well.
41:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there there was some crazy jumping stuff from speedball as well like speedball someone we watched in Canadian Indies for so long again in front of small crowds sometimes and to see him wrestle in front of a state and like just last year we were watching in wrestling Parkdale all shout out to Man Lucha and to see him come out in a stadium like yeah, you know from Montreal yeah, some people don't consider that Canada, but
41:46
[SPEAKER_01]: it is and it was really cool to see that one of the craziest things that I've ever seen in the match.
41:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Sheldon Benjamin was it night that I'm sorry.
41:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was to speak all here.
41:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Sheldon was killing people because first first there's this crazy spine buster from Bobby to him and then Sheldon just Germans him
42:05
[SPEAKER_00]: out of the ring on top of everyone.
42:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a German super Lexus fee ball that sends him overhead over the so edges people like moon solving to the outside, but he's being German super like oh my god crazy.
42:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, people comes back with a springboard moon salt while Kevin Knights hitting a springboard slash in the ring.
42:23
[SPEAKER_00]: and then night drop kicks wane off of speedball shoulders to the floor, which is a crazy spot, both dive to the outside, but then Christian is left in the ring, gets shoved into FTR, knocking them off the apron, allowing Bobby to hit him with the spear and the hurt syndicate retain, but then this sets up the angle after, because now FTR, I piss at the patriarchy, because they, you know, inadvertently hit them, and
42:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Christian is like, oh fuck this, go to leave when Nick Wayne turns him around.
42:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Hits him with the kill switch.
43:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Holds him back.
43:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Mama Wayne is slapping him in the face.
43:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know what's a bigger turn here is Nick Wayne attacking his dad or step dad or mama Wayne attacking her.
43:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Her boo mama Wayne.
43:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
43:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, FTR are doing like great facial expression expressions like, oh shit.
43:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't see this coming, but this is kind of funny.
43:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And they hand Nick Wayne a steel chair.
43:23
[SPEAKER_00]: They set Christian up for the concerto.
43:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you think, you know him.
43:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Cop returns.
43:31
[SPEAKER_00]: He takes out everyone's spears all round and saves his former best friend.
43:37
[SPEAKER_00]: His former brother, his former tag team partner, Christian.
43:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Picks him up and goes GO!
43:45
[SPEAKER_01]: find yourself.
43:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I see what he did there.
43:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, very nice.
43:49
[SPEAKER_01]: A very clever line.
43:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we expected this, especially when they announced FTR was going to be ringside, especially when they were kind of involved with the Christian thing.
43:58
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes total sense.
44:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Just I think back to Jeff Hardy, debut in AW and Matt Hardy's getting beat down.
44:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
44:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And he has to make sure he does the dance first.
44:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Just recently, Penta, same thing.
44:10
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, oh, yeah, I got to hit my Penta walk first.
44:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to do that.
44:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Edge.
44:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
44:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Cope comes out.
44:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to run.
44:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Do the run on each side and then hit his pose and the pie rope.
44:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He won up Jeff Hardy now because hold on.
44:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't see you yet.
44:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Hit my hip.
44:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to hit my shit.
44:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to get my shit and hit the pyro.
44:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
44:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I can save you.
44:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we just go to accept that, uh, wrestlers have ADHD and a rig distracted by shiny things and music.
44:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, we supposed to help you right now.
44:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, also ADHD, because all the other wrestlers that rigged what I did, they just read.
44:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, five words.
44:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we can still, he's on a bridge.
44:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I mean, an ultra bridge would distract me too.
44:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
44:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So I hearing people sing that song.
44:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They were waiting for it.
44:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
44:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's a few guys in front of us who are just going mental for, for coped coming out.
44:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're both drontonians.
44:57
[SPEAKER_01]: We kind of see where this is going.
44:59
[SPEAKER_01]: We're hoping for the ENC, or is it CNC now?
45:03
[SPEAKER_00]: CNC.
45:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Canadian Club, come and soon to all out.
45:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if that doesn't set up FTR versus Edge and Christian, I don't know what else does.
45:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, not a bad idea for a shot, uh, Canadian Club rip off with CC.
45:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Coping Christian?
45:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Crying Christian?
45:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
45:20
[SPEAKER_00]: This match like the crowd were pretty quiet, but I didn't think it was out of lack of investment.
45:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they were saving themselves.
45:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They knew we've got the three big main events coming out after this.
45:31
[SPEAKER_00]: There were some cool spots in this, especially from Night and Speedball, but this was mainly leading up to the angle.
45:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been both enjoying and not enjoying the hurt syndicate because it is they are so dominant right now that this tag division does feel like it's suffering because of it and you know they they want again here but leading up to you've got the angle you've got older bridge you've got the return of coat so feel good moment at the end of it and I like that
46:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't just pick up Christian and hug him.
46:04
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, don't find yourself.
46:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Figure out the shit.
46:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
46:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not just, I mean, I saved you, but like, fuck you still.
46:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.
46:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Without actually saying it, we did gloss over the, the entrance for the hurt people was pretty cool.
46:17
[SPEAKER_01]: West side guy and I think it was MUP smoke disaster, I think as well.
46:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Who I think literally just all walked past us.
46:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Great job guys.
46:24
[SPEAKER_01]: You did a good job.
46:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that song is so M.J.
46:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jay of holding up his contracts while the engines is going on and he's just like showing it and dancing was really funny as well.
46:36
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know what like that match was in a hard spot because the three following matches are your main events.
46:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So everyone was conserving their energies.
46:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So it did feel like a little quieter, but the match still was pretty fun.
46:47
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'd say everyone was just waiting at this point.
46:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We already been sitting here for hours.
46:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So we were trying to conserve our energy for the next three matches.
46:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We then go to our AW Women's Championship match with Mercedes Monet challenging time as Tony Storm Mercedes with a huge entrance.
47:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You had the Texas Rangers cheerleaders out there.
47:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it not the Dallas?
47:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess not the Dallas Cowboys.
47:13
[SPEAKER_00]: No, they they had the the Red Team.
47:15
[SPEAKER_00]: We were in Rangers Stadium.
47:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I fair enough.
47:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and then Mercedes coming out in a beautiful car.
47:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was just how go gear.
47:23
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I was, you know, it's Dallas, right?
47:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was wondering if Mercedes was going to come out.
47:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't wondering if Mercedes is going to come out in a car because we know she likes to come out in cars like Eddie Guerrero or favorite wrestler, but it's Dallas.
47:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was wondering if Mercedes is going to come out with the bubble top.
47:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, geez.
47:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Her car entrance looked a whole lot like the motor gate.
47:42
[SPEAKER_01]: We may have went on the JFK tour yesterday.
47:44
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been on a JFK case.
47:45
[SPEAKER_01]: She could have came out in the pink Chanel, but maybe that would have been tasteless, but she was coming out with this huge gown.
47:51
[SPEAKER_00]: This huge robe, which I believe wasn't it the names of everyone she's beaten so a lot of people on.
47:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of names and then
48:01
[SPEAKER_01]: timeless Tony storm with her own huge entrance a bit of a Hollywood style video and oh I love this video it was so cool like I love all timey movies and stuff so this character is is so awesome to watch and then like the video entrances and then her actual entrance with all the the lights in the music and Luther looking like a I think Sino said Luther was looking like the bad guy from Roger Rabbit yes yes that outfit
48:27
[SPEAKER_00]: who Mr. Guana kind of looks like him as well.
48:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, yeah, true.
48:33
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Tony, yeah, the red lights, the red curtains and everything, great entrance.
48:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm it's really frustrating me because I'm trying to work out what her face paint was because I'm sure it's it's like a
48:48
[SPEAKER_00]: She's wearing, it's almost like clown makeup, almost like the makeup, vacuum Phoenix, wears as his Joker.
48:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm pretty sure it's a old
48:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the entertainer or something like that.
49:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a smiling man, and that's true.
49:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it's the period between silent movies and talking.
49:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
49:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe, and I think there's a film, and it's based on a man, not a, not a, not a starler.
49:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think it's about someone kind of like the artist, like that kind of thing.
49:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I might be absolutely crazy, but this, this makeup, almost right, you know, the sad clown as well.
49:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely like silent movie era.
49:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Which was kind of making me think oh is this we're talking about the the end of the rain potentially like I was trying to read into it But if you know what I'm any like movie buffs out there trying try and help me out here But we start with some a bit of fun between the two Mercedes being very arrogant inviting Tony into the ring Tony rolling in the ring and then doing like Leg splits and like just fucking with her legs split
49:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in tongue tricks and yeah, all sorts of tricks.
49:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a slap.
50:00
[SPEAKER_00]: She spanks Mercedes and one point Tony T's is a dive to the outside and Mercedes kind of covers up and cowers and Tony just does the Mercedes dance and then shows her a harass.
50:13
[SPEAKER_00]: and then Luther gets involved a little Tony's on her shoulders and lets like Luther run so she can like throw Mercedes into the turn buckle and then and then Tony gets thrown off Luther catches her and Mercedes comes with a meaty aura to Luther taking him out and thus dropping Tony.
50:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd were really mad that Luther had to take us bump, but he kind of deserved it.
50:38
[SPEAKER_00]: He was getting involved, you know?
50:40
[SPEAKER_00]: We then get like a bit more serious with this and they're trading a bunch of different submissions.
50:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Mercedes is going for a cross arm breaker, which Tony kind of catapult her throat first into the bottom rope, which is pretty cool.
50:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We get the three amigos from Mercedes goes to the frog slash, but Tony gets her knees up.
50:59
[SPEAKER_00]: There's then a running hip attack from Tony and the first storm zero of the match.
51:04
[SPEAKER_01]: one two and last millisecond Mercedes kicks out yeah on it like I love the beginning of the match because it's like the two character works again Mercedes and other great heel lately that you like love to hate you know and
51:20
[SPEAKER_01]: the like the silly stuff to start, but then it got real like technical and real aggressors.
51:25
[SPEAKER_00]: They then just keep countering each other.
51:27
[SPEAKER_00]: There's tombstone attempts.
51:28
[SPEAKER_00]: There's multiple pinning combinations from both, which they're countering out of when Monet finally hits the Monet maker, but Tony kicks out.
51:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Monet then kisses Tony and goes for a second Monet maker, but this gets counted to a tiger driver.
51:45
[SPEAKER_00]: The WWE version of the storm.
51:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, her original one.
51:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
51:49
[SPEAKER_00]: There's then this, I really hope we see this again from Mercedes.
51:53
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like Kimura with the gear team, which just looked awesome right now.
52:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And then this gets talented with like a back barrel into a DDT from Tony, and then a back stop from Mercedes into the bank statement, and Tony gets out of that with like a bulldog choke off her own.
52:14
[SPEAKER_00]: one storm zero two storm zero's three storm zero's got to be it right and Mercedes kicks out the crowd are losing their mind and I think after that for me I'm like Mercedes is winning this yeah you're kicking out of three storm zero's and then Mercedes counters the hip attack with a roll up and is grabbing the ropes
52:38
[SPEAKER_00]: and then hits multiple, like grabs them, banks say, sorry, multiple Monet makers and pin attempts, but Tony gets out this time hits the hip attack in the corner and delivers an avalanche storm zero or do we have to call it the timeless twist.
52:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you got to listen to your interview with Tony to understand that one.
53:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And Tony storm defeats Mercedes Monet in what
53:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for a lot of people might have been an upset, but I loved this match.
53:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really like, I really love this match.
53:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it's an upset because the crowd were booing or saying that there were some people.
53:16
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a split, but people were definitely in it for Tony storm.
53:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think just people assumed Mercedes was winning, especially kicking out of the three storm zeros.
53:23
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like, yeah, an avalanche.
53:26
[SPEAKER_01]: pile drive.
53:26
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the Rhino driver.
53:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He used to do that kind of move.
53:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But it looked nasty and this match hit for me.
53:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I was really looking for it.
53:33
[SPEAKER_01]: These are two of my favorite women's rest.
53:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Two of my rest favorite wrestlers going and I think they've they tangled once or twice.
53:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe a SmackDown or whatever.
53:40
[SPEAKER_01]: But this was great.
53:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Like women's wrestling is killing it in twenty twenty five.
53:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was so good.
53:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the back and forth.
53:48
[SPEAKER_01]: The storytelling.
53:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was genuinely shocked that Mercedes got pinned.
53:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think the, you know, I could see some people being critical of the three kickouts of the Storm Zero course.
54:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you then have this super finisher for Tony.
54:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
54:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Put her away and it keeps Mercedes super strong.
54:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm, I'm interested in now Mercedes character.
54:11
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to start seeing her like unravel and dropping some of these titles.
54:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I think a rematch down the line.
54:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Like realistically, you could build this to peak again at next years.
54:22
[SPEAKER_00]: all it.
54:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love to see these two go at it again.
54:26
[SPEAKER_00]: At this point in the show, I couldn't really pick between this and the boxware of Osprey match.
54:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely love this.
54:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Mercedes is just a brilliant, brilliant wrestler.
54:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really come together.
54:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of like she's always been good, but I think there was some doubts when she left WWE certainly doubts with a character Tony her wrestling has stepped up.
54:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think she always got away with being you know good like she was good and obviously had a great look and stuff.
55:01
[SPEAKER_00]: This character has elevated her but her wrestling has come on leaps and bounds I think from
55:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we liked her in the May Young Classic and before then, but now I just think she's she's one of the best and both of these I'd be front one for women's wrestler of the year.
55:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I just thought this felt great.
55:19
[SPEAKER_00]: This felt like, you know, rocking Austin.
55:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the two top women in the industry right now outside of WWE going at it.
55:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just I just absolutely love this match.
55:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You know I've been going to wrestling shows for a whole lot of years ever since I was really young and back in the day when it was the the women's match you would see sea of people exit for the washrooms or exit for the snacks and that was not the case and they should be proud this was this was great I've been loving the character work
55:48
[SPEAKER_01]: and the wrestling of Tony Storm and I've been loving the exact same thing with Mercedes.
55:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything is finally all come together and clicked for the Women's Division and for these two and yeah, they're the two best going right now.
55:59
[SPEAKER_01]: This is really hit for me.
56:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I really love this match.
56:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We then go to Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchka Okada.
56:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh boy.
56:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, we set ourselves up to get real hype for this one.
56:11
[SPEAKER_01]: If you checked out our best match ever podcast on our Patreon, where we looked at the famous rivalry, maybe the best rivalry ever in the history of wrestling.
56:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And it got me even more excited to watch this.
56:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, sitting with our crew, we were all getting the goosebumps, getting the mana, if you will, we were like, wow, this is actually
56:31
[SPEAKER_01]: happening and we didn't get bell cry.
56:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Carter comes out first and then Kenny comes out to his dog shit thing with some fucking constant hoods singing it.
56:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I like I kind of got a bit mad.
56:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like I want to be so hyped this match and just this awful
56:52
[SPEAKER_01]: awful theme which just okay so they kill the vibe can like battle cries such a good wrestling theme it gets you hyped it's loud it's guitars whaling it's like okay great let's let's get you're ready to fight where is this one's like a final fantasy which I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy so I just don't understand like I understand from a fancy in all that but like I just don't understand that this it's not a good wrestling entrance theme but not
57:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that his entrance looked cool though with like these guys and robes and then the fire and everything like he looked cool.
57:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is an intro like having this as an intro and having that as an stuff and then high pop the crowd.
57:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But this to me felt like when you're at karaoke it's packed.
57:33
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a bunch of young people.
57:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lively energy and then someone goes up and sings a ballad.
57:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, you know, when you just like, oh, yeah, like I said, slow, slow song that no one knows essentially, but you know what, there were people in the crowd that I noticed, like, we're like excited.
57:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
57:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
57:49
[SPEAKER_01]: There is Final Fantasy fans and video games.
57:51
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a video game.
57:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Heavy, you had your jump big nerds who happen to be the two best wrestlers in the world.
57:55
[SPEAKER_01]: It's very strange.
57:56
[SPEAKER_01]: You got the Assassin's Creed with Osprey and then you had Kenny with the Final Fantasy.
57:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So that entrance wasn't necessarily for me, but again, the visual with him and the pyro and the fire, that was pretty cool.
58:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the crowd are then pretty much giving this a standing avation before the match even start.
58:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
58:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Getting super hyped for this.
58:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Like think about it.
58:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Anytime Kenny's in a big match, Ken Mash, I think that we were at the Grand Slam against Danielson, Kenny and Dan.
58:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So the same thing, like the Bell rang.
58:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And then all of a sudden that's twenty thousand people losing their minds and standing elevations and holy shit.
58:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is awesome chance.
58:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We're ringing out here in our links in even before these two even touched.
58:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought that was pretty special.
58:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we have a, you can't escape attempt, and you know what, Ocarda escaped.
58:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the knees up, shucks.
58:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And this allowed for a lot of attacking of the diverticulators throughout the map.
58:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Right in the diverticulators.
58:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We get Ocarda with the spike DDT on the announced table.
58:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Don Callis is there.
58:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's attacking Kenny as Ocarda's distracting the ref.
58:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And then continuous sort of knees the guts, punch to the guts.
58:55
[SPEAKER_01]: the elbow drops like how he injured him nope no spinning out blood but still like attacking repeated elbow drops there was there was a really creative move where like Kenny was trying to get out of I don't know a tombstone something so what causes does like a gut buster like rock legendary ask gut buster which was like oh well if you're attacking the guys gut that's exactly a movie you would want to do
59:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Omega comes back with a snap Rana sending a car to out the ring and then follows up with the Terminator dive and then the top road drop kick to the back of Okada shoulder.
59:25
[SPEAKER_00]: A Raymaker attempt gets blocked, a drop kick from Okada gets blocked and then there's this tight pinning combination from Okada with a kick out.
59:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Kenny then goes to the V trigger but that gets blocked with a drop kick and then Okada continuing with the elbow drops.
59:41
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where that
59:42
[SPEAKER_00]: tune song got busted there, which I thought was, yeah, really small.
59:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Kenny's, you're doing the counterweight thing, and he's like, all right, I'll just drop you.
59:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I also think this was the like the loudest the crowd had been at this point where like they were doing the terminators.
59:56
[SPEAKER_01]: They were chanting for Kenny.
59:57
[SPEAKER_01]: They were booing.
59:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, God, they were chanting.
1:00:00
[SPEAKER_01]: bitch, and they were really heating on downtown.
1:00:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was all coming together.
1:00:04
[SPEAKER_00]: We get another rainmaker attempt, which is blocked and hits a knee to the gut instead, and V trigger attempts, and then an avalanche snap dragon, which we have seen in the other matches.
1:00:15
[SPEAKER_01]: This one is like, you know, the one in New Japan is is where like he just dumps him on his head.
1:00:21
[SPEAKER_01]: This one at least he like did like almost like a full rotation.
1:00:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He tries to rotate my hands up like landing on the side of his face, which might have been worse.
1:00:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:00:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Either way, it looks awesome.
1:00:30
[SPEAKER_00]: V-trigger and one-winged angel attempt but Ocarda slips out and hits the spinning jumping tombstone and then the short version of the rainmaker.
1:00:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Ocarda, sorry, Omega gets him up in the electric chair.
1:00:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Ocarda's trying to punch out of it.
1:00:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So he goes to drop him into Quartz Raff, but there's like this hairy moment of a stumble.
1:00:52
[SPEAKER_00]: They get themselves together.
1:00:54
[SPEAKER_01]: The whole crowd.
1:00:55
[SPEAKER_01]: You just saw like,
1:00:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Quiet, everyone, and then he finally hits it and it was like, oh, that was, it was awesome.
1:01:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's dropping from the electric chair into the, like, gut wrench, uh, German there.
1:01:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that based on a file fantasy?
1:01:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so, obviously.
1:01:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Rocky Romero then runs out and we should note that Abushi was at ringside.
1:01:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Abushi takes out Romero.
1:01:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Calis keeps on trying to get involved.
1:01:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But we knew the rest of the family were coming out because they were literally sitting behind us.
1:01:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:01:24
[SPEAKER_01]: To catch them and flutter a vine as well.
1:01:26
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't think they're going to him and his frog shirt aren't going to run out there.
1:01:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Callous gets punched by Kenny and then Kenny delivers the one winged angel to Ocada.
1:01:37
[SPEAKER_01]: That day I thought it was going to happen.
1:01:40
[SPEAKER_01]: If anyone's going to kick out of it, it should be a boozy, but because he's done it before, but I was thinking, this is it.
1:01:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Ocada's going to kick out of it, but instead.
1:01:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Callous pulls the ref out the ring killing Bryce Rimsworth in the process.
1:01:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Rims.

1:02:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, you gotta be, you gotta be kidding me.
1:02:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was a great spot.
1:02:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I was expecting him to kick out, or it was over, but no, Don Cal is getting involved.
1:02:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Aubrey runs out Kenny delivers a V trigger and then goes to the one-wing danger, O'Cardis slips out and hits a rainmaker, Kenny kicks out.
1:02:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We then have an A-Y-Boo elbow exchange and then
1:02:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh God, a punch is Kenny in the gut.
1:02:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Kenny comes back with a V trigger and then runs into a drop kick.
1:02:40
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a small package and then this twisting slam from Ocada and then Ocada delivers the rain maker.
1:02:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I mean it definitely was a rain maker because there was a thunderstorm as soon as he hit this move.
1:02:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So it really did make it rain, but this turned Kenny inside out.
1:02:56
[SPEAKER_00]: This looked like it murdered him and then pretty much thirty minutes on the dot.
1:03:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Ocada pins Kenny Omega and is your new and first unified champion.
1:03:06
[SPEAKER_01]: you know Kenny is my guy is my favorite but I was expecting O'Cotta to come out of this even though like myself and everyone else was really cheering for Kenny in this he was really one of the biggest stars it felt like from this thing but I was a little but hurt that he lost but I kinda was it my heart was telling me Kenny but my brain was telling me O'Cotta was gonna win it and
1:03:26
[SPEAKER_01]: He did it.
1:03:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He beat Omega and if my math is correct, it's tagging.
1:03:33
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's, yeah.
1:03:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So two wins each and one draw.
1:03:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So one day down the line.
1:03:40
[SPEAKER_01]: it's going to be a one last time because they said this wasn't the one last time this was just a winner take all kind of things so I expect we get it one more time I'm not saying this year next year a year after I'm expecting a little while later maybe but I love it was surreal seeing this match these are like I said we recently rewatch all of them but like these series of matches all these years ago is what like
1:04:04
[SPEAKER_01]: reinvigorated my love for like wrestling.
1:04:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there's so there's so many other stuff not just WWE and to see this happen again, even when the bell rang, it felt special and felt very important.
1:04:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So to see this one live was really special for me personally, just because like I loved what I've watched their matches back to back to back so many times.
1:04:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So did it live up to all the other ones?
1:04:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not because those ones are like epic, but it was still like still better than all these other wrestlers and matches from this year, really.
1:04:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it was it was awesome.
1:04:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I had mixed feelings about this one.
1:04:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the atmosphere.
1:04:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt special.
1:04:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, this is a crowd who knows.
1:04:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Okada hasn't lit the world on fire in AEW, but I think people realize how important this match is.
1:04:50
[SPEAKER_00]: They've seen the other matches and there were people like this guy in front of us wouldn't sit down.
1:04:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Right from the beginning.
1:04:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Just hype for it.
1:04:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't blame him.
1:04:58
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no.
1:04:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:04:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:04:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:05:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, some of the AWS leaders and people were kind of sitting behind us at this point.
1:05:05
[SPEAKER_01]: They were like losing their mind.
1:05:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:05:06
[SPEAKER_01]: They were going crazy for this.
1:05:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the Tokyo Yoshi Pro, like I'm pretty sure like the whole roster was in a box and they were going mental for this match.
1:05:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So this was really cool.
1:05:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll cut a beating Omega makes me think like where are we going to go?
1:05:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, uh,
1:05:22
[SPEAKER_01]: You could do a bushy again down the line or like there's there's different possibilities.
1:05:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe Kenny takes a little breather goes away for a little while, but it was really special for me to watch someone.
1:05:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't expecting it to top the others and it didn't I didn't think no I
1:05:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I get the stuff they're doing.
1:05:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I can't as a heal.
1:05:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got the diverticulitis thing.
1:05:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe physically these guys can't do what they used to do, and therefore we need to add those.
1:05:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But we need to add the callous element.
1:05:52
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to add the diverticulitis element.
1:05:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But I felt the finish felt quite abrupt.
1:06:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Considering, I think New Japan has a lot of selling early on obviously because of the gut stuff.
1:06:12
[SPEAKER_00]: There was some cool moments.
1:06:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm holding this to a crazy high standard.
1:06:17
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think by the end of it, I felt slightly disappointed.
1:06:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely wasn't disappointed, but I know what you mean about the finish because you had the false, well, he did kick out of the rainmaker at least once or twice, but then like the final one, you were like, oh, you were expecting Kenny, I was expecting Kenny to kick out, and I was just like, oh, or even just to set up with like, you know, he's never done the rainmaker pose since starting heel, like something like signaling.
1:06:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what, I just felt is like,
1:06:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
1:06:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it totally still hit for me, but like comparing it to the other ones, like you just knew going and it wasn't going to get up to that necessarily level, but for the most part, it still really didn't.
1:06:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I can be nice seeing this in post.
1:06:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:06:57
[SPEAKER_01]: A sphere for it.
1:06:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I loved.
1:06:59
[SPEAKER_01]: If they were to announce this match in a year, two years, three years, I would I will travel again to watch this match.
1:07:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I will and
1:07:06
[SPEAKER_01]: as big as a Kenny fan that I am.
1:07:09
[SPEAKER_01]: It was crazy to see a like stadium going ham for it.
1:07:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we like people really love this guy.
1:07:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So it it made it special.
1:07:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So I still really love this match.
1:07:19
[SPEAKER_00]: We then had the World Championship match Texas death or the main event.
1:07:25
[SPEAKER_00]: How man comes up to out to his classic theme wearing white pyro like it.
1:07:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It was feel good.
1:07:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I love his old feet.
1:07:32
[SPEAKER_01]: This theme is way better.
1:07:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you even had the what was the intro there like the whistling and the country stuff and like the the even the lights and the stadium change for this we have these orange lights like for this whole mask like text is sundown it felt like you're in a like desert in like you know it felt like hot and that they're just gonna
1:07:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Separate it from the rest of the show making it feel special.
1:07:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought aesthetically it looked great The sun at this point had started to set as well, so these lights really made it feel like there's a big Texas death match and oh boy Terry funk was watching down on this yeah
1:08:06
[SPEAKER_00]: box coming out in the truck and pretty much right away as soon as the bell rings.
1:08:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Hangman brings out a fucking fork and just stabs boxy in the head repeatedly.
1:08:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Hard way, like gushing.
1:08:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Got him in a triangle just like gushing out blood instantly right away setting the tone for what this match would be.
1:08:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Mox then wrapping the barbed wire around the face of Hangman.
1:08:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Marina is getting involved biting Hangman, a barbed wire chair gets into introduced and then Hangman starts biting the open wood wound of Moxley.
1:08:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Moxley come back with a cutter from out of nowhere and gets Marina to hand him a bucket full of glass.
1:08:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It just just happened to have a bucket full of glass.
1:08:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, well, you knew you were getting ready for this thing, but yeah, this was already setting.
1:08:54
[SPEAKER_01]: This is minutes into this match.
1:08:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They're already bleeding all over the, like, not even in one cut, like multiple cuts all over.
1:09:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Mostly multiple cuts on, actually, on Hangman and then they bring out glass.
1:09:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Mox is like driving the glass into his face.
1:09:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He's dragging Hangman across the glass.
1:09:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He hits a sit out pile driver on the glass.
1:09:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.
1:09:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And then set some chairs up like table style if you will.
1:09:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's teasing an avalanche pile driver.
1:09:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But hangman fights him off.
1:09:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Mox is scraping his back with barbed wire.
1:09:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And then hangman turns the chairs back to back and delivers a power bomb off the turn buckle to this back to the spine of these chairs just disgusting.
1:09:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like if stab, if seeing a guy stab a guy in the head repeatedly with a fork didn't freak you out, this would definitely this did it for me.
1:09:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I did my classic hands on my head and a few people around us were like, are you okay?
1:09:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you okay?
1:09:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I don't know.
1:09:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It's okay.
1:09:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what is wrong with these guys?
1:09:57
[SPEAKER_00]: wheeler you to then gets involved comes in with the chair but hangman just like kind of no sells the chair shot and punches him and delivers an angel wings when marina tries to get involved and hangman picks her up and death Valley drivers her off the eighth run through the table hangman just loves beaten beaten up women I get no hangman loves marina just marina and I think it's definitely more than warranted and what apart from the crowd when she got finally got it
1:10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And just to reiterate, this text is death, so it's just answering the ten count or submission.
1:10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
1:10:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We then have Claudio runs out and with elbows repeated elbows to hangman.
1:10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, this was right after a dead eye onto the glass, of course.
1:10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: You to is getting back involved beating down when Osprey runs out for the save.
1:10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And, but you didn't really say that anyone.
1:10:50
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Gabe, kid, a fellow Brit of his, they should be friends, runs out with a pile driver on the floor to Osprey, and then Claudio pulmonizes the neck of Osprey.
1:11:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So Osprey we see is getting stretched it out.
1:11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I like how even the kind of, uh,
1:11:08
[SPEAKER_01]: medical staff here are on hangman side because Marina's been lying dead in this table for like five minutes and they're just giving the stretch out okay, but she'd be very like she's she's a bit of a she's a little she's a little snake and will ask Ray that's that neck thing like that's the same move they did to Joe earlier in the night and to do it to will is basically like this is this this match felt like a giant movie yeah
1:11:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And like the final like epic fight scene in a movie, right?
1:11:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have all your people.
1:11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And Osprey getting that was like, wait, uh, well, he's he's taken out of this.
1:11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like hanging that.
1:11:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have any more friends?
1:11:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause like, will might be your last chance.
1:11:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And you just seem getting stretched it out.
1:11:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And while he's being stretched it out, the match is still going on in Excalibur.
1:11:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, we had commentary in the media thing.
1:11:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can hear like Excalibur.
1:11:56
[SPEAKER_00]: calling the thing being like oh yeah that's just the medical like while you see for us maybe he should have written someone get him a joint quick there's in a suplex from moxy off the apron to hangman as they go through the barbed wire tables that was set up right from the beginning of the man outside we then get a gut start star piled driver and a bully choke
1:12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: from Mox and Hangman seems to be out.
1:12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So Mox lets him go and let's the ref start to count.
1:12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But Hangman just makes it back up as Moxie delivers a Death Rider onto the steel chair and Hanga gets up again.
1:12:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Moxie's pissed.
1:12:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, like wrestlers are already like incredible athletes and actors and all this stuff.
1:12:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But Hangman had this one and I think it was this where it's eight.
1:12:46
[SPEAKER_01]: nine and he's still down and then he like pops up but just like one put so he's like one put like I've got it my god it was like wow okay you really made it you know wrestling you've seen years of the like the nine count and then they roll into the ring it was the same thing but like just getting up
1:13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Claudio after mocks his instructions gives you a plastic bag to bring into the ring to suffocate Hangman page when suddenly on the video screen we get a shot from Everest.
1:13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Darby Allen on top of Mount Everest.
1:13:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't necessarily hear what he was saying just because it was also very chaotic when it splashed his face.
1:13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: People were screaming, girls were going nuts and obviously stadium and audio and everything is echoing and bouncing all around.
1:13:32
[SPEAKER_01]: But I could imagine he was like, hey, Mox, I'm about to jump off Everest just to land on you.
1:13:38
[SPEAKER_00]: and from we are we see from the roof like before kind of the rest of the crowd and certainly TV are seeing we're seeing Derby getting lowered and this ceiling is high this is a Facebook stadium here this is a baseball stadium with a roof and again we were very high up in this media section and while the video is playing we noticed he was being lowered
1:14:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, we already know Diabetes, fucking crazy.
1:14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: But now I know this guy is an actual legit lunatic.
1:14:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you, this guy is on one single rope coming down from this high.
1:14:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And then at one point, he's waiting there.
1:14:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He's hanging out.
1:14:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a hiding him like behind the big screen that's hanging over the ring.
1:14:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's just waiting there like the brood at WrestleMania fifteen, just hanging above this thing as everything's going on.
1:14:29
[SPEAKER_00]: but the distraction of the video allows for group Heather, group Panther, Brian Danielson to come in with the Buseco knee.
1:14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Danielson is so full of shit all the time.
1:14:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He, like I saw a quote like yesterday, him saying, yeah, WWE have told me to stop doing the yes John.
1:14:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just yes in a way, yes in, yes in,
1:14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so yeah, this is, this is exactly like we pictured going into this.
1:14:58
[SPEAKER_01]: This is totally gonna be WrestleMania Forty Cody Rome with all the bells and whistles and interference and everything, but it was that and some with like Danielson just getting a huge reaction from the crowd.
1:15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously we knew he was in town.
1:15:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone saw him doing karaoke on social media, but still seeing him show up here like, ah, yeah, they were the, they took you out.
1:15:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So with the bag and everything, so it was some great revenge from Danielson.
1:15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've got the yes kicks all round and more knees from Brian and then Darby gets lowered into the ring and mocks is looking at him.
1:15:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Cena goes like he's seen a ghost and we get one buckshot larry from Hangman.
1:15:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Darby dies with the coffin drop to the floor taking out the rest of the death riders.
1:15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We get another buckshot from
1:15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: from Hangman and Mox isn't going down.
1:15:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still staggering around.
1:15:47
[SPEAKER_00]: We then get a dead eye off the apron through the table.
1:15:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this spot was right because the ref is counting.
1:15:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You think this could be the finish when Marina just dive.
1:15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: She's woken up for the dead from the table spot.
1:16:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Just dives and hoist mox on like nine and a half.
1:16:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, like last man standing matches or these old school Texas tech, they can't they sometimes aren't the most interesting because it's like, well, you're just getting up before the night count, but they were very clear.
1:16:16
[SPEAKER_01]: They had some incredible manfuls if you were.
1:16:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you really bought like, you were like, well, this, this is it, right?
1:16:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And then no, she helped some up in the match continues.
1:16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: The boxing come in, they're hitting super kicks to Hangman and the EVP trigger.
1:16:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that was a great moment too.
1:16:32
[SPEAKER_01]: They're behind him and he doesn't expect them and then he's just like, oh, for fucks that you guys again.
1:16:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, yeah, it's just like, again, epic movie feel where the hero is just getting everything thrown at him and he's like, oh, I don't know what to do, but bucks getting some crazy heat here with attacking Hangman.
1:16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Mox brings in a board of fucking like six inch nail nails.
1:16:53
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy's a psycho.
1:16:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He hits a curb stomp on the nails to hang man.
1:16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And then a death rider on the nails and hang man again just the time of this just gets up on like nine and three quarters and gets to his feet immediately falls back down.
1:17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: and motley calls for the key for the briefcase.
1:17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So Marina goes to get the briefcase.
1:17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was almost like a magician like Slight of Hand.
1:17:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Suddenly he missed it.
1:17:24
[SPEAKER_00]: She goes to the timekeeper's area, grabs the case.
1:17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And then as soon as she pulls her arm up, we notice she's been handcuffed.
1:17:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And Prince Nana emerges, who has handcuffed Marina Schiffier.
1:17:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just been hiding there.
1:17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, I guess.
1:17:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Swav comes out with a chain.
1:17:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Huge reaction here.
1:17:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, again, this is what everyone was expecting.
1:17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, this epic rivalry between the two of them from like the years before.
1:17:51
[SPEAKER_01]: And then having him just appear was like the pop was nuts where everyone's like, oh, my God, he's actually helping hang man now.
1:17:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's got that chain.
1:18:01
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the chain.
1:18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a moment where he and Hangman are just staring at each other in the eyes and Swerve tosses the chain to Hangman and we see Mox just staggering around Hangman punches him with the chain, wraps it around his neck, both fall over the ropes and then Hangman throws Moxly into the ring and hits a buckshot laryat onto the board of nails.
1:18:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Raps the chain around his neck and throws him over the top rope, hanging him, stringing him up, just like their first Texas death match.
1:18:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Moxley's selling here is incredible.
1:18:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks like the supervillain that is being put down and he's holding on.
1:18:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going right red even more so than that first match.
1:18:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just like, clawing at everything, desperation.
1:18:53
[SPEAKER_00]: You see the power that he's losing.
1:18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: and taps out and hangman page is your new AEW champion via murder.
1:19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Hangman pages finish the story.
1:19:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved the whole imagery, like, as the swirls bring out the chain, I'm remembering.
1:19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure Swerv beat Hangman with the chain in there.
1:19:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's, yeah, there's he was stringing from the term buckle, right?
1:19:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And then obviously you've got the call back to the Mox one.
1:19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got all the history with Swerv and Hangman.
1:19:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this felt this legit felt like a fight to the death, the whole thing.
1:19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought both guys were incredible.
1:19:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The run-ins were done in a way that
1:19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was kind of like WrestleMania forty, but not as, you know, they didn't play the music and stuff like that, which I have.
1:19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:19:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like you could imagine these people are sat backstage watching this match and going, oh fuck that.
1:19:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm running out to help.
1:19:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Derby came straight from the mountain from the mountain.
1:19:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:19:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was everything it needed to be and more.
1:19:58
[SPEAKER_00]: lived up to the name Texas death match there's something you know we don't really like last man standing matches but all of these Texas deaths have over delivered this this was absolutely incredible honestly this this match way over delivered for me and I was expecting incredible things as it was
1:20:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know I'm a bit of a sickle myself.
1:20:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So when the match started in mere seconds in dudes already bleeding with straight up or to the head, I was like, yeah, this is this is the shit I like.
1:20:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So this this was like perfect man.
1:20:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you had the story of hangman over the past little while has been a great like story are credible.
1:20:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then like the stuff with the death writers.
1:20:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, maybe it was at a rocky start where everyone just hated it for maybe the wrong reasons.
1:20:39
[SPEAKER_01]: But lately, I think people have maybe warmed up to hating on the death writers like liking to like, you know,
1:20:45
[SPEAKER_01]: effective heel work now.
1:20:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:20:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:20:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So now it's like it's perfect because you just can't wait for this guy to lose and hang that man like some of the stuff they were doing.
1:20:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Moxley obviously known for being crazy with the blood and stuff.
1:20:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But hang man like there was a deathwriter onto a chair where the chair just was like bent into million pieces like man.
1:21:02
[SPEAKER_01]: How you do it?
1:21:03
[SPEAKER_01]: The nails the everything and this was super violent, but like I keep comparing is to like a epic fight scene in a movie where it's like
1:21:11
[SPEAKER_00]: are the soldiers and then like your main captain like both guys were in the desert like yeah that they're like everyone else's dead that the two last people left in this war and they're like we're gonna go until one of us dies yeah and they're gonna fight till the Texas sun like the setting with the like that orange light yeah the kind of you know the rain starting outside as it was happening
1:21:33
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the good the bad and the ugly.
1:21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.
1:21:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I love this match so so much and I can't wait to go back and rewatch.
1:21:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Like right away, I'm like, I just need to rewatches again.
1:21:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It was so good.
1:21:43
[SPEAKER_01]: But like out of all the stuff that I've seen at wrestling shows, I've never been more terrified of Darby Allen being lower.
1:21:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I can't, I'm never gonna get off that.
1:21:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I can't believe they allowed that.
1:21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe they did it.
1:21:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only allowed it, but perfected it and did it.
1:22:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So we had in our press area, we had these like, fire monsters and like all these guys wearing like specific uniforms and we weren't quite sure what they were doing.
1:22:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And as soon as the show ended, all the other media people, we were invited to go the presser in the scrum, but instead we're sitting here doing this show right now outside.
1:22:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And we were like, oh, no, let's just go record and hang out with our friends and enjoy the night and everything.
1:22:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So while we left, we were the last to leave.
1:22:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We see all these fire marshals and all these dudes in uniform hacking up boats.
1:22:29
[SPEAKER_01]: These long ropes and like what it not carbina is honestly that's the word I think that sounds offensive right.
1:22:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, these like crazy things and I straight up walked up to them and I was like hey, are you guys do you love a dobbie?
1:22:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys did that and then they were like
1:22:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we did and I just you were there.
1:22:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I just went Wow, right now guys.
1:22:48
[SPEAKER_01]: That was fucking cool.
1:22:49
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys did a great job, and they were like, oh, like, wow.
1:22:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you very much, and then we're like, no, seriously, that was fucking crazy.
1:22:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Well done, and they're like, thanks guys, and then we walked off and I was like, huh, that's fucking crazy.
1:23:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It was incredible.
1:23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I had goosebumps, I had tears in my eyes multiple times in this show.
1:23:10
[SPEAKER_00]: For good and for bad and yeah hang man at the end gets on the mic and basically says you know he lost his title three years ago and honestly thought that he'd never get it back again and
1:23:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And I kind of believe that.
1:23:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he sort of, you know, all the stuff with it.
1:23:28
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been unsaid in this whole story with Hangman, you know, the CM Punk stuff.
1:23:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:23:33
[SPEAKER_00]: But I believe that he probably carries some guilt, that he's worried does his boss think if he had never said that, we'd see him punk still be in this company and I think, you know, the right promise and that.
1:23:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And I genuinely think like this, this promo at the end, it works with the story that was being told in ring.
1:23:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it.
1:23:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It was personal on the truth from how man he says I I didn't think I'd ever hold this again I thought I'd reach the peak of my career and the last three years I've been you know Angry angry depressed trying to like refine myself
1:24:11
[SPEAKER_00]: But he said, for the first time, he thanks all the fans.
1:24:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, I thank you for believing in me.
1:24:15
[SPEAKER_00]: You never gave up on me.
1:24:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And for the first time in three years, I'm happy.
1:24:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And I truly, I truly believe this.
1:24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: This may be emotional as well.
1:24:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:24:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:24:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I, wow.
1:24:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Just incredible show.
1:24:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Hangman's been someone we've been following to, like, I think, back to Ring of Honor and, like, he was a young kid and everything.
1:24:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And to see, like, where he's gone in the last few years with this, again, the story arc of,
1:24:39
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of blending in like the real stuff like you said the sea and punk stuff and everything but always remember hangman is right yeah like he's he want to look they're on like we love this this wrestling thing and honestly you know they're they're on a whole lot of people you can look up to and call a role model yeah in and inside the ring outside the ring especially for sure there are people you can admire and stuff
1:25:06
[SPEAKER_00]: outside a lot of unfortunately questionable you know I think hangman just as a human being seems like such a great role model the the image of him just
1:25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: covered in blood, saying for the first time in three years, I'm happy.
1:25:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, just opening the juxtaposition of that just ridiculous, but wrestling is ridiculous, but man, it can make you feel all sorts of things, and that's exactly what this did.
1:25:30
[SPEAKER_01]: When he opened a guy, opening a briefcase, and the place goes, then joy.
1:25:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Like unveiling that championship the first time, like it was hostage.
1:25:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this was, this was art, this was theatre, this was, this was cinema to me.
1:25:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I, and
1:25:46
[SPEAKER_00]: For those fucktards out there saying, oh, I don't know how to tell stories.
1:25:50
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of the great stories I've seen in pro wrestling.
1:25:53
[SPEAKER_00]: This whole hangman page journey from double or nothing three years ago right to now has been absolutely incredible.
1:26:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Beautiful to watch and I don't think a
1:26:05
[SPEAKER_00]: No one better could deserve this than him.
1:26:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Next time you think about giving up, just remember hangman didn't.
1:26:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I allowed safe fucktarts?
1:26:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not.
1:26:12
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
1:26:13
[SPEAKER_00]: My bad.
1:26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, I apologize.
1:26:15
[SPEAKER_01]: But you're emotional.
1:26:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm emotional.
1:26:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm heeded.
1:26:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, love the Texas death match.
1:26:22
[SPEAKER_01]: It was incredible and to be their live.
1:26:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I was screaming at the top of my lungs just in certain spots of sure just pure horror of what these two guys were doing to each other and all the the little side characters that gotten involved the death rioters and all of Hangman's friends and everything.
1:26:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I I really thought this they really
1:26:41
[SPEAKER_01]: nailed it, see what I did there with the bed of nails.
1:26:43
[SPEAKER_01]: But a bed of roses, a bed of nails, I thought this match totally hit for me.
1:26:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just love this show.
1:26:49
[SPEAKER_00]: It was awesome.
1:26:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so glad you convinced me.
1:26:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for coming here.
1:26:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I've enjoyed every moment, even the shitty travel to get here.
1:27:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, you know, we had podcasts as we can sometimes be vampires.
1:27:04
[SPEAKER_00]: If we just told you what a great day we had.
1:27:07
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not fun audio.
1:27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Telling you that we've been
1:27:10
[SPEAKER_00]: broken down on a highway flights delayed in that.
1:27:15
[SPEAKER_01]: We lost a friend.
1:27:16
[SPEAKER_01]: One of our we had to switch buses because we were stuck on a broken down bus literally in the middle of a highway and then we got on a new bus and got to the border one of our friends left the passport on the other one so she didn't even make it and it we then we were stuck on the tarmac on our flight like it just felt like God did not want me to see Omega Cata and somehow we made it and we did and we got to see this whole show and it was totally worth it.
1:27:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to wrap this up very quickly because we do a friends to see and and honky tongs to get to.
1:27:46
[SPEAKER_00]: But we have been doing snap runners like little little audio diaries on our journey both wrestling related and non wrestling related.
1:27:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't promise we're going to do any more because I really don't know how much sleep we're going to get.
1:28:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to try and get something done tomorrow.
1:28:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it's it's almost ten o'clock Texas time right now and we have to be checking in at the airport at six a.m.
1:28:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And we still want to go out.
1:28:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So we we definitely are going to make the best, but we're going to be dead tomorrow for sure.
1:28:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm going to try my best sometime early next week to kind of piece these diary entries together to give out for you guys for free as well because I think they've been pretty fun.
1:28:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Here are thoughts on JFK at sector.
1:28:28
[SPEAKER_01]: We did a lot this week.
1:28:28
[SPEAKER_01]: We went to the JFK tour.
1:28:30
[SPEAKER_01]: We had some crazy barbecue shadow Terry Black.
1:28:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Terry Black.
1:28:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Sounds like a wrestler.
1:28:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Terry Blacks, Jack Ruby.
1:28:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we smoke.
1:28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: We've done a whole lot here.
1:28:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Dallas has been really awesome for us and I definitely would would come back and I want to see more of Texas, but this this show was totally worth it.
1:28:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Like again, a w my one gripe is they go really long.
1:28:50
[SPEAKER_01]: The shows feel like especially if you make it in there for the pre show, that's another two hours on top.
1:28:55
[SPEAKER_01]: That we've been inside the stadium from like one PM to literally eight PM at a seven hours inside of this, but
1:29:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't, nothing was bad, nothing in the show.
1:29:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I also wouldn't have wanted to really take anything out of this.
1:29:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:29:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:29:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
1:29:09
[SPEAKER_00]: All I encourage is all venues, please provide coffee, Tony Khan.
1:29:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Khan, if you want to keep doing this, just provide free coffee, free coffee stations, free Red Bull stations, like people need to, like,
1:29:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so fucking caffeinated right now.
1:29:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It's ridiculous.
1:29:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to sleep until I get home.
1:29:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I had like a Celsius.
1:29:29
[SPEAKER_01]: What are those Texas star fuckers?
1:29:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever.
1:29:31
[SPEAKER_01]: That has red ball in like three coffees.
1:29:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fucking jack baby.
1:29:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready to die.
1:29:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Someone now.
1:29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: But stick a fork in someone's head.
1:29:37
[SPEAKER_00]: One question match the night.
1:29:39
[SPEAKER_00]: That's old book answer.
1:29:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what happened yet.
1:29:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
1:29:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh fuck off honestly Texas death Texas death for me to like it just had everything I need in wrestling it had blood it had gore had sweat had tears and it Yeah, the main characters the main character shout out a hangman, but honestly
1:30:00
[SPEAKER_01]: AWS super should be super proud of that show and if you're ever on the fence, oh should I go to a shit like yeah, it is it is a night and day experience from going to like a WrestleMania or anything like it just it It feels like these people everyone here in the crowds in the community everyone's here.
1:30:17
[SPEAKER_01]: They're catering to resting fans.
1:30:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not catering sports sense time at fans.
1:30:20
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not catering to jelly roll fans.
1:30:22
[SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing wrong with that like, but this is a different thing and it's it like
1:30:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They AW found themselves again.
1:30:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they had a moment where they were trying to compete with WWE by doing WWE things.
1:30:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But the stuff that drew us to them in the first place was they were doing AEW things.
1:30:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel they're back to doing AEW things.
1:30:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And the last couple of months had been really, really great.
1:30:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And this, like, capped it off.
1:30:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was an awesome show.
1:30:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I think my my favorite match was the the Texas death.
1:30:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved Kenny O'Cotta.
1:30:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I love Tony and and Mer Mercedes.
1:30:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the tag match with the bucks like everything on it was really good.
1:31:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So I again really enjoyed the show and I can't wait to see what they they bring to our city and September going all out and like that's gonna be something crazy too.
1:31:10
