AEW Dynamite 5/20/26 Review | Mick Foley Is ALL ELITE This Sunday, Ludwig Kaiser ARRESTED? · Solomonster Sounds Off

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This Sunday is double or nothing. Tonight was the final
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Dynamite before the pay per view. Finally we are here.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: We've had title defense after title defense after title defense
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: by Darby Allen. Somehow he keeps finding ways to win.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Tonight was more of the same. We had another Darby
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Allen title defense. We had a very bloody, hardcore match.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We had some really good wrestling, basically your typical Dynamite.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: You get some good wrestling matches, you get your garbage bloodbath,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: which we got tonight with Tamaso Champa and Mark Brisco,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and we had Darby in the main event defending the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: aw World Championship against Speedball Mike Bailey. And this was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: his seventh title defense in a month. He's been defending
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this title NonStop, not only every week, but in some
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: cases multiple times in the span of a week. Tonight
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: was the last of the bunch and now on Sunday
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it's him in MJF title versus Hair. Tonight was also,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: by the way, a three hour block that is still
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: not over yet. But I don't do collision. We talk
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: about dynamite here we did. We will talk a little
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: bit about what happened at the very beginning of Collision
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: because the end of Dynamite bled over into it. But yeah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: they've been doing this a few times recently where we
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: have these three hour blocks and hopefully it's not And
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: again the sports schedule has a lot to do with it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: But I always hope, like Warner Brothers Discovery better not
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: get any ideas with this to where this becomes an
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: every week thing at some point. I don't know that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discovery is going to be making very many
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: decisions at all when it comes to aw programming going
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: forward as far as making any sort of major changes.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But in addition to Darby and Speedball in the main event,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we also had a new match added to the Double
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: or Nothing card this Sunday, where it will be John
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Boxley defending the Continental Championship. He was very conspicuous, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: from his absence on the list of matches this Sunday,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you knew he was gonna find his way on there
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in some way, and so now we know it's gonna
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: be him and O'Reilly in a rematch now tonight. Look
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: was not the most exciting match. It was a very
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: good professional wrestling match. It went the distance they went
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes. By virtue of a draw, Kyle O'Reilly earns
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: himself the right to now challenge for the continental title tonight.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It was an eliminator and so we know that the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: rematch will happen with no time limit on Sunday, so
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we will have a decisive winner on that show. So
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that's their way of getting John Moxley onto the card. Unfortunately, though,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we also had some bad news coming out of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: show tonight, the Shoulder Demon. He had been gone for
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a while. He took a little bit of a break,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but now he's back and the Shoulder Demon has claimed
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: another victim in the form of the TBS champion, Willow Nightingale.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: He got her. Unfortunately, Willow Nightingale not only is out
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of the Owen Heart Tournament, she would the one women's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: match in the Owen that was actually gonna happen on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the pay per view this Sunday was going to be
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: her match. It was going to be her against Alex Windsor.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: That match will no longer be taking place. She is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: out of the tournament and she is no longer the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: TBS champion. She has been forced to relinquish her title
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: now after one hundred and forty days. She was the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: woman who ended the five hundred something day reign of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Mercedes Monet back on New Year's Eve, and so her
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: TBS title rank comes to an end. Now there will
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: be a wildcard entrant against Alex Windsor, although that will
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: not be taking place at the pay per view instead,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: now the match between Athena and Mina Shirakawa that will
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: take place at Double or Nothing instead. So you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: your first thought when you hear, oh, this is gonna
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: be a wildcard now in the tournament, first instinct is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to say, there's the door for Mercedes to walk through.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: But the bottom line is this, though you would think
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that if that was the case, they would still do
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that match on the pay per view. The fact that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: they're not tells me that maybe it's not her, because
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: if it was, that would be the stage to do
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it right, you would have her return to Devil or Nothing. Anyway,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: they're not doing that match on Sunday. It sucks. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: hate hearing this. I'm a fan of Willows. She's one
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of the I mean not to say that they don't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: have a lot of other very talented, capable women in
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the division, but She is among the best of what
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: they have in that women's division, and so losing her
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: for any length of time is going to suck. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: other thing also is keep this in mind, this tournament
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: on the women's side is already kind of in a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: way snake bitten, because they made the brackets with the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: knowledge that two of the people in the tournament were
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: already going into it injured. Persephone is injured, Sorie is injured.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That Tony Kahan feels pretty confident that within a few
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: weeks they'll be able to come back, and he's going
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to hold off on their matches until we get a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: little bit deeper into June. That's the hope. But we
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: don't know for sure. Right they could have a setback,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: It could take a little bit longer for them to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: get to where they need to be. So already we
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: have three women injured in this tournament. One's already been
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: bounced and the others are TBD. We don't know. So
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that's not very good. But you know what is very good?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: They say Foley is good. It wasn't there a book.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that the name of his book? Second book? Maybe
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: McK foley. There was a lot of discourse around him
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: over the past week. It was Sports Illustrated John Alba
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: last week who had the report that there was interest
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: from the AW side and bringing Mick Foley into the company,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and they didn't know whether or not that would even
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: be possible for Double or Nothing, just because he was
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: still under a WWE Legends contract as far as anybody knew,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: at least until June, he was allowing his Legends deal
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to expire. He has had issues with the company and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: did not want to do business with him anymore, so
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he was going to allow the Legends deal to expire
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and effectively he would be a total free agent, but
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it didn't sound as if he would even be available. Well,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: they made it official earlier today. Tony Khan did with
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: a tweet that the new pre show team starting this Sunday,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: A Double or Nothing, will be Rene Piquett and Mick Foley.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So there was no mention of RJ City or Paul
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Whites or Jeff Jarrett or any of the other people
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that normally you would see on these pre shows. But
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it will be mix at least for this Sunday. It'll
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: be Mick Foley and Renee Piquett and Tony Kahn and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: his tweet was talking about you know, Cactus Jack is back,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, and on TBS and all this talking about
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it like this is and I think he said this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: is his first appearance, so he didn't get the graphic yet.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: But I think it's safe to say that Mick Foley
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: is now officially all Elite. Maybe not, maybe unofficially, but
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: he is. He is all elite. I am positive that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: this will be the first of many appearances that he
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: will be making in AW, and I think he'll be
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: making history in the process because what this means is
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that he will have been a member of WCW ecw WWE,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: TNA Ring of Honor and now AW. I'm not going
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to count GCW although he has made cameos there. That's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of companies over the years that Mick Foley
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: has been a part of in some way, shape or form,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and so now you can add AW to that list.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: If all he's going to be doing and coming in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is doing some hosting on the pre show, I think
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that's fine, but you know that it's going to end
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: up morphing into something else at some point. And I'm
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: sure if you put a mic in his hand, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you wanted fully to be part of an angle in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: some way. You know he's still you know, he's still
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: well spoken. I'm sure he still has it in him
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to bring out the old Cactus jack fire and cut
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a good promo. You've got Folly and MJF now in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the same company, assuming Folly sticks around, that could be
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: fun at some point to see some sort of interaction
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: between the two of them. But I do not want
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to see him in the ring, I really like. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I know it's sort of the the natural progression of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: these things. Is he going to do more? Right? For now,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: he's just a host, But is he going to do more?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And I told the story on the sound of where
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Foley wanted to work one last death match for a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: sixtieth birthday and he lost I think one hundred pounds.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He lost a bunch of weight, and in doing some
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: light training, he concussed himself and had no idea that
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: he was even concussed. And that's when reality said in like,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you know what, I shouldn't be bumping. I shouldn't be
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: doing this anymore. And he gave up on the idea
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of having that one last death match. But I'm sure,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it's going to be very tempting, you know, if he
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: sticks around in aw Here for any length of time.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I just remember when Sting came in during the pandemic
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and the talk was Tony Khan is going to protect
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Sting by only having him in cinematic matches or it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: just going to exclusively be tag matches with Darby Allen,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: which I believe is what it was. But it went
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: from that, you know, old man Sting is coming in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: off of an injury the wwe wouldn't clear him from,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and so we're gonna protect him by putting him with
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: somebody else and let the other guy do all the work.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And somehow it went from that to Sting doing fucking
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: balcony dives, which was incredible to see. But should he
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: have been doing it, probably not, and thankfully he didn't
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: kill himself doing it. But I look at Foley and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, yeah, for now he's hosting. What does
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: this look like in the future. I really hope that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he can not get the bug the way that Sting
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: did and can stay out of the ring because there
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is no need to see mc foley back in the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: ring doing anything physical outside of maybe getting shoved. Foley
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: can contribute I think in so many other ways, you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: with his knowledge and his experience, and again, even if
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: it's just in a hosting capacity, I think he could
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: bring something to the product. It doesn't mean it has
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to be anything physical. That's my only concern about Foley
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: if he's going to be in AW. But anyway, so
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that is now official and we will see him make
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: his debut on Sunday. This is your AW Dynamite review.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It is Wednesday night, May twentieth, a very hot day
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in New York. Ridiculous, ridiculous. We finally had some rain
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a few hours ago, so it broke thing. Now we're
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: down to like seventy We were over ninety degrees again today.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: It's like we skipped spring. We went from fall to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: fucking summer. I don't know what's going on here. Well, yeah,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: spin the wheel. Actually, before we spin the wheel, I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: gotta remind you guys, because there is a pay per
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: view on Sunday, I will be live for Double or Nothing. Yes,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: early Monday morning, Memorial Day morning, I'll be live on
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: YouTube reviewing Double or Nothing from Louis Armstrong Stadium this Sunday,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: right here nearby in Queens, So hopefully you will join
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: me for that hair today gone tomorrow we could be
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: looking at Bald MJF. I'm going to assume not. We
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: could potentially see Bald MJF on Sunday night. So hopefully
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you guys will join me for the double or Nothing
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: review and now we can spin. Let's find out how
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: many likes we need Mento skates. Ain't nothing illegal about
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: amenttos four hundred and seventy five likes where you're two
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: twelve right now, four to seventy five is the goal
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: for be the booker. Tonight, my friend was sick to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: his stomach and those boys powered back up. Well, I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: thought you were going to tell me that your friend
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: was a Cleveland fan and he was sick to his stomach.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there were a lot of those last night. Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You know, it just feels like wrestling in general right now,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: especially WWE. I notice it where when you're in the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: middle of all these playoff games and you know, right
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: now you got the NBA stuff going on, Wrestling just
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: sort of takes the backseats all that and just the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: overall interest level just doesn't eh, doesn't really feel like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it's there, and I can see why you have some
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: more games like that last night. I'd rather be watching
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that than a lot of the wrestling over the course
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of a week. Anyway, let's jump into this show here.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: We opened with a shot of Chris Jericho and the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Young Bucks earlier today. They were standing outside by a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: lighthouse for some reason, and they're talking about the history
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: of Stadium Stampede and remember years ago when Jericho beat
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: their father's ass put his hands on pop a Buck.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So Jericho put over the Bucks as the best tag
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: team of all time, and Nick said that it's water
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: under the bridge now as far as all the bad
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: blood from the past with them, it's washed away. So
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: then they debated whether to call their team the Bucks
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of Jericho or Why to Jackson, which is a call
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: back to an old episode of being the Elite that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure predates even the birth of Dynamite, that's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: how far back that goes. But anyway, they're all going
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to be involved in Stadium Stampede on Sunday. Before that, though,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: we had this match, we had Nate Man tag to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: open the show. It was Chris Jericho. Now she was
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a six man tag it was Chris Jericho and the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Young Bucks. So I guess the Bucks of Jericho against
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Ricochet Andrade and the national champion Mark Davis. So basically
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: what we got here was a preview of Stadium Stampede.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: We got a miniaturized version of Stadium Stampede with six
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: guys instead of the fourteen that we're going to have
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. And Jericho was out there dressed like one
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of the Bucks. He had like the Bucks jacket on
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and the tassels and all that. And basically we had
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Matt Buck, we had Nick Buck, and we had Old
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Buck in this map. Basically, Matt Nick Jackson could see
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: their future fifteen years from now by looking at Jericho
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: out there dressed in the outfit that he was wearing.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So Ricochet he cut off a lion salt. At one point,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Jericho missed a Judas effect on Androde, who ducked into
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a double superkick from the Bucks. Then we got a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: super kick party. Androde stopped that with the three Amigos
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: went up top for a moon salt. Matt, though got
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the knees up Jericho and Ricochet. They fought outside onto
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the table in the timekeepers area and Ricochet wanted a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: sup plex, Jericho countered into a back suplex and both
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: men went crashing through the table androte ate A BTE
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: trigger kicked out though, and the buck signaled for a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: melter driver. Aubrey Edwards was distracted by Mark Davis. He
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: was attempting to bring a chair into the ring, so
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that allowed the dogs, David Finley and Clark Connors to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: run out, with Finley blasting Matt Jackson with a schalale shot.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Androde stole the pin to win it for the Heels.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: After the match, the Gates of Agony they ran out to.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Now they're just pouring it on the baby faces and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: here comes Jack Perry and he hits the ring. Now,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I have seen people run out to the ring before
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: or even in the course of a match. I've seen
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a lot lot of wrestlers use various objects as weapons.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So we've seen, of course, you've got your tables in
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: your chairs and your kendo sticks, the ring bell, right,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: we've seen the ring bell used as a weapon, garbage
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: cans on this show alone. Tonight, we had staple guns,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and we had barbed wire, and we've had all kinds
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of cinder blocks and weird shit. I can honestly say
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that this is the first time I can remember somebody
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: running down to the ring with a bag of onions.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the significance of this is. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: would think that there would have been some Cleveland fans
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: at the garden last night, given the Dan Housen put
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a curse on the Calves, that there would have been
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: some Calves fans who probably would have shown up, maybe
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: with some some garlic, right, maybe to kind of ward
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: off Dan House and ward off the curse. I mean,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I can understand like cloves of garlic and stuff like that.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the significance is of a bag
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of onions, though I'm not I don't know is that
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: what it is? Jack Perry wants other wrestlers to cry
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: him a river. That's you know what. That's the closest
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: explanation I can think of. Sure, Okay, we'll go with that.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: He whacked Total Leona with the bag of onions, and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: then the Hurt Syndicate came out, Bobby Lashley shelting Benjamin
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: MVP MVP. I couldn't tell, but I thought maybe MVP was,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you know, on the mic talking about how much he
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: hates Triple h but he was off camera doing whatever
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: he was doing. Lashly and Benjamin they're out there getting
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: big brawl with the Heels and the baby Faces, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Lashly hit a big spear on Total Leona to close
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: out this brawl. Look, I think the finish here of
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the match bodes very well for my prediction since I'm
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: going with Team Jericho for the win on Sunday in
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Stadium Stampede. So if nothing else, I think it bodes
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: well for or for their chances in that match. I
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: said this one I did my preview and predictions for
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the pay per view. I am looking forward to Stadium Stampede.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: You basically got a sense of what we're in for
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's just, you know, this was all action Sunday.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be all over the place, and you're gonna
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: have even more people involved, and it's gonna be even crazier,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and you'll have music playing, and it's just gonna be
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: mass chaos. But I had a lot of fun with
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that anarchy in the arena match last year, and this
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: is basically what that is going to be, but in
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: a larger setting. So I am looking forward That's one
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of the matches I'm looking forward to on Sunday, just
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: because I had truly a lot of fun with that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: match last year, and I'm curious now with some new
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: faces in there to see what they can come up
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: with for this year now. Renee was backstage with the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: aw World Champion Darby Allen, and she was of course,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: he's getting ready to defend his title against Speedball in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the main event tonight, and she just wants to know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: why are you doing this? Why are you defending your
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: championship so frequently? And Darby says he feels it. He's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: certainly feeling it. He said when he finally won the title,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: he said he was going to go all out. So
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: she wants to know, why do you want Mjf's hair,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: And he said that it's very simple. MJF is the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: most vain person in the entire world. And so every
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: interview that he does, every red carpet that he walks,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: he wants him to walk out there bald, because he
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: knows the deep down inside, it's just gonna rip his
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: guts out. It's just going to bother this guy. It's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: gonna drive him absolutely nuts. It's gonna eat him alive.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But he goes, whatever happens tonight, I'm gonna do whatever
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it takes. He's running out of steam. You saw it
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in the match that he had with Sammy Gavar. Guy
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: could barely stand up. It's the Orange Cassidy story all
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: over again with the international title. He's defending it constantly
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and he's just like his body is starting to break
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: down on him. He's exhausted. It's the same basic story.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: At some point, your luck is going to run out.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: The tank is going to end up on e. I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: happen to think and hope that that is what happens.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: On Sunday, now, we had Tomaso Champa going one on
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: one with Mark Briscoe, and Mark Briscoe was out there
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: wearing white. This is an anything goes match, so you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: know that that white tank top he was wearing is
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: going to be a very different color very soon. Briscoe
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: brought out a trash can filled with various toys and plunder.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: So right out of the gate, I mean, you could
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: just see where we were heading with this match. Champa
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: at one point pulled the trash can of his own,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: or tried to pull the trash can of his zone
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: out from underneath the ring, and he got his hand
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: caught in a mouse trap. Champa later on got a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: cheese grater. He was raking it across the face of
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe, who was bleeding buckets. The crimson mask is
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: blood everywhere. What do we get in this match? We
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: got crowbars, we got kendo sticks, we got ladders, we
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: got chains, we got chairs, we got tables, you name it,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: we got it. It's basically one big home depot in
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the ring during a commercial break. Honestly, this was probably
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: this was the most entertaining part of the entire match.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: So it was during a commercial break. Champa actually pulled
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: out a plush chicken, I believe, from underneath the ring,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: stuffed animal, and he pulls this thing out and he
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: murders it. He murders the chicken with chair shots. He
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: took a cheese grater to the chicken. Yes, I told
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you he was relentless with this thing. Took a cheese
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: grater to it. He gave it a lung blower. He
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: tried to pin the chicken. Mark Briscoe broke up the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: pin and saved the chicken. Yes, this is a real
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: thing that these are real words that are coming out
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: of my mouth. This is what really happened here on
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the show tonight. I can't believe I just said those words.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I said those words. In the span
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of the same week where we had Dan Hausen after
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I guess, cursing the cavaliers in his science lab, trying
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to raise the dead, trying to once again clone himself.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: But he was trying to raise the dead. I'm still
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: in mourning from the funeral of the gingerbread man. What
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is happening with wrestling lately? I don't know. Brisco, he
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: sprayed Shampo with a fire X thing was sure and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: uh Hitnick's bloater. Brisco set up a table out at ringside.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Then out came the staple gun. Out came the staple gun.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Stapled the stapling some barbed wire to the table. So
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: he was taken too long. Champa was able to recover.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: He came over. He's raking the barbed wire into the flesh,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: into the face. Champa took some of the papers from
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the announced desk, the rundown, the run sheet whatever. He's
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: stapling the rundown to Mark Brisco's head. They end up
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: back in the ring. Champa put on a thumbtack covered
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: knee pad. They're trying to get creative with this. We've
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: had thumbtack covered boots. Now we have a thumbtack covered
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: knee pad. He went for a knee charge. He went
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and he charged in for a knee strike with the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: knee pad, and unfortunately for him, he got caught in
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a drop toll hold. He went face first into a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: ladder that was standing in the corner of the ring.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Brisco got a screwdriver. Now he's using it on Champa.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Now Champa is bleeding, bleeding all over the place. So
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Champa hit a running knee strike anyway a little later
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with the thumbtack covered kneepad. And then he took two
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: chairs and placed them next to each other, and he
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: was going to go for an avalanche, air raid crash.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I believe Briscoe is able to escape. And he placed
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the chairs back to back, and he hit an iconoclasm
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: onto the chairs and that looked like it sucked. That
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: looked like it was not fun to take. So they
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: ended up on the apron. We got a jade driller
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: through the barbed wire table outside. Quickly puts him back
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: in the ring. Briscoe comes off with Froggy Bow, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe wins the war. As hardcore wars go, this
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: was certainly one of them. I can't say that this
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: one was any better or any worse than any of
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the ones we always see on these television shows, because
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: we see them quite often. It was another and a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: long line of blood bats that at least in this case,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: kind of made sense because these guys were feuding a
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: few months ago. Brisco ended up on the shelf. This
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: was sort of his revenge, so at least they had
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a story at least coming into it. This was sort
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of a proper blowoff to it me personally, Like I
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: don't care for a lot of this stuff, I can
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: recognize that these guys went out there and in terms
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of a hardcore match, they didn't hold anything back. Like
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: if you took this match, if you were to tell
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: me that this was a last minute addition to the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: double or nothing card, it would fit right in on
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that pay per view. So they had a aw pay
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: per view quality match here on this television show. And
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I presume blew off the feud, and so that's the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: end of it. And there you go. If you're into
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the really bloody, violent bullshit that they do on these shows,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: then you'll enjoy this. That's what I would say about Tony.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Stavanni was in the ring after the break and he
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: was about to talk about the owen Hart Foundation Tournament
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: matches coming up at double or nothing when he was
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: interrupted by Prince Nana, who mocked him for dressing like
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a substitute teacher. Then he introduced Swerve Strickland. Swerve's taking
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: his sweet ass time coming out to the ring and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: he gets jumped by Bandido. The two of them are
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: going to be wrestling in the I guess technically the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: quarterfinal round on the pay per view on Sunday. So
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: he gets jumped and he's throwing Swerve into the barricade
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and he ended up going in the ring and he
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: does this huge somersault dive out over the top rope
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: bond to Swerve throws him into the steps. Prince Nana
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: tries to get involved with a chair but he got caught,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: but that was enough of a distraction for Swerve to
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: take out Bandido's leg and now he's got the advantage,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: so he was going to go for a vertebreaker onto
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: a chair, Bandido escaped, hit a one arm press lamb,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: and then he was gonna set up for the twenty
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: one plex. Swerve grabbed the chair and it was a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: very awkward ending here. He just sort of chucked it
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: at Bandido and they were staring at each other, and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: then Swerve just left. So the ending was awkward, and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the crowd was church silent for most of this. It
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: was actually alarmingly for a crowd that I thought was
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: actually very loud and lively for most of the night,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't a very big crowd. I know, they
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: were really struggling to sell tickets tonight as compared to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the last time they were in the building, and it
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: was a really good crowd for most of the show,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: but for this segment they were alarmingly quiet. But I
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: am still looking forward to the match on Sunday it
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Swerved against Bandido. What is not to like about that match?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I said it when they first when they when Swerve
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: first came back and he was teasing a match with Bandido,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I said, sign me up. So I am looking forward
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to the match. What they did here, I mean, it
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: was fine, but it just didn't get much of a reaction,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and then we got the bad news. We went to
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the back the TBS champion, Willow Nightingale is in the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: locker room by herself and she's cutting a promo and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: she says that winning the TBS championship was one of
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the best moments of her career. She's had no shortage
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of them in aw because she won the Owen before.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: She was one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the first women's tag team champions, and she won the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: TBS title from Mercedes Monet. She was the one who
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: knocked off Mercedes back on New Year's Eve to finally
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: win that title away from her, and she told herself that,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you know, night in and night out, she would defend
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that championship against all comers. Well. Unfortunately, in her most
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: recent title defense against Red Velvet, which was on collision,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: she hurt her right shoulder and that also means that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: she will not be able to go to New York,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: her backyard because I believe she's from Long Island, which
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: is not very far from Queens and her family was
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: going to be there and she was looking forward to
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: trying to repeat in the Owen Heart Tournament. This year,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: she will not be cleared to be in the tournament.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So she is not only pulled from the Owen, but
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the double whammy, she also is forced to relinquish her
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: TBS championship, which tells you right there that they're not
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: expecting her back for a while. I mean, that tells
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: me surgery, is what that tells me. She didn't say that,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: but if it was a case where maybe they were
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: going to give her a little bit of time off
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and let her rehab for a little bit, I don't
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: know that they would have taken She would have been
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: bound from the Owen either way, but I don't know
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: that they would have taken the title off of her
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: in that case, or they would have had an interim champion,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: because Tony loves doing interim titles. So it sounds pretty
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: serious and it's a double whammy. It sucks she's out
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: of the tournament and one hundred and forty days is
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the TBS champion and it ends like this. You know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: she doesn't get beaten for it. She has to surrender it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: She doesn't know when she's going to be back, but
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: when she does come back, she will head right back
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to the top. And so because she is no longer
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: going to be in the Owen. Alex Windsor will now
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: wrestle a wildcard entrant. That match will not be taking
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: place at double or nothing, and instead it will be
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Athena on the other side of the bracket wrestling Mina Shirakawa.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: That match will take place at double or nothing. And
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: it's a blow to the division. You know, it is
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: not just because she was a champion, but because she
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: was a very big part of that women's division. She
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: was one of the better wrestlers that they had featured
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: in the women's division in this company. Who is now
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: going to be gone. She's going to be absent for
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: quite some time. It does open up opportunities now for
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: other people, though, Who's going to be the next TBS champion?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I have no idea, but it opens it up now
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to any number of people. The bigger question, the more mean,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the pressing issue, is who replaces her as the wild
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: card in the owen. Mercedes would certainly be the favorite.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that most people are gonna be like, well,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: this is how Mercedes, you know, comes back. I'm not
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: so sure about that, because again, if it was going
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: to be her, then they would do that and save
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the surprise for the pay per view. The fact that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: they're not doing that tells me that it probably is
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: not her. You know, it may just be a case
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: where Tony is just going to look at who he
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: as available and just pluck someone out, and it's not
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: going to be some sort of a big deal. I
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Now I didn't have will
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: O winning. I'm still I'm sticking with Persephone. Persephone is
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: still my pick to win, assuming, of course, that she's
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: healed up enough to even wrestle in the fucking tournament, because,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, her and SuRie are injured. Tony
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: is hoping they'll be okay by June. If they're not,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: then I guess my pick goes out the window. But
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with Persephone. Lucky Dog. I know, Lucky
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Dog's a big Meana fan. Mina is not winning anything.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Mina is not winning anything. We had John Moxley against
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Kyle O'Reilly Continental Championship eliminator match. Renee was at ringside,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: as she usually is when her husband is making his entrance.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: She's standing right there at ringside, and she was talking
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: about how This is Kyle's first true test in singles
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: actions since he came back from injury very slow pace
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to this match. It was very very apparent from really
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to get go here they were either going the distance,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: going to the time limit, or they were going to
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: come within the closing minute of the timeline, because these
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: matches have twenty minute time limits. Fifteen minutes in, Moxley
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: hit a superplex, O'Reilly escaped a bulldog choke into an
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: ankle lock. Moxley is now frantic because there is a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: lot of history between these two, going even back to
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Blooding Uts, where Moxley has submitted to the ankle lock,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and so I like that he's still playing up the panic,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: you know, in the fear when O'Reilly locks the hold
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: on and even was able to grapevine the leg was
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: O'Reilly and the crowd was fairly quiet, I would say
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: for a good chunk of the match. By the time
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: they got to the closing like minute or two and
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: it looked like O'Reilly had a shot, they started to
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: get more into it. They started to get excited, and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the idea that John Moxley might actually tap out here
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: that they were buying into it. So before he has
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: a chance to tap out though in this hold, the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: bell rings, because of course it does. O'Reilly immediately goes
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: over to the timekeeper's area and he gets the microphone
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and he says, he didn't survive a damn thing. John
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Moxley survived him, but now he has legitimate claim to
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the continental title, and he says the rematch will now
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: be no time limit, and John Moxley, you're out of luck.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: He dropped the mic and he left. Now. The match
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: itself very good pro wrestling match, not the most exciting
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: match in the world, but technically it was well worked,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and we had some drama down the stretch, you know,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the fans bought into some of those near falls, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: it ties into, i think the job that they did
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: many months ago when Moxley was more of a well
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: defined heel, and the job they did of having him
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: tap out to Kyle O'Reilly and give him some rub
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: which gave O'Reilly a credibility that frankly, he has not
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: had on this roster at a very long time. People
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: know he's a really good wrestler, but they don't really
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: take him seriously beyond a certain level. Him going in there,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: even it was for just a couple of months, but
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: him going in there and having you know, the ability
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, I tapped out John Moxley, who's largely
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: still protected. I would say, after all these years in
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: aw for him, that was a big deal. Fans still
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: remember that. So I like how that played into the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: finish of the match here, but later on in the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: back because this seemed like, Okay, this is probably going
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: to get added to the pay per view, and then
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: they didn't say anything. But later on in the show,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Moxley was in the back of the rest of the
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Death Riders and Renee was interviewing him, and he basically said, okay,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: double or nothing, you and me, no time limit. He
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: mentioned Game seven was an analogy he used, game seven
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: is the only game that matters. Put the championship on
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the line, no time limit. Let's see what you got.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: So that is now official double or nothing. John Moxley
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: defends the Continental title against Kyle o'reiley. Renee was backstage
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: after this with Chris Statlander and Hikarashida asking for their
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: thoughts on Willow Nightingale having to vacate the TBS title.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: So Statlander started to talk she immediately got cut off.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: She immediately got cut off by Shida, who said that
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: they're gonna fight together on Sunday and they're gonna be
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: watching the ladies very closely in the owen Hart Tournament.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: And Statlander, who did mention that she would be cleared
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: in time because she's part of that women's title foreway
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, and she said she'll be cleared by Sunday.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: She got up in Sheeta's face and basically told her
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: to you better watch it, and then she stormed off.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say about this. We need this Sheeta
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: turn on Sunday. This Sheeta turn has to happen on Sunday.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: They have dragged this out long enough, and it's just
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: awkward at this point, Like, I'm not even sure why
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Chris Statlander is still associating with this woman. She always
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: has this very disgusted look on her face. She's annoyed
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: by her. What is continuing to compel her to even
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: associate with Hikarashida. She doesn't seem less. She likes her
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: very much. I don't get it, but Tashida thing. They've
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: been dragging this out for a while now, and it's
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: not really, it's not really hitting, if anything, is just
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: making Statlander look really dumb. We have the Ring of Honor,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Women's World Champion, Athena and the Triangle of Madness. So Tecla,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Julia Hart and Skyblue taking a Mina, sheerracaw A, thunder
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Rosa and the brawling Birds Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Mina cut off inn Athena dive with a high kick.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: She had tried to cross body off the apron, Athena
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: caught her. This was later in the match and Mina
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: was able to spin her into a DDT I love
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to sell job by Athena. RVD would be proud right
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: on top of her head DDT on the floor. So
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: there was a blind tag in here from Tecla and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: she ended up eating a shotgun drop kick from thunder Rosa.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Sky Blue blindsided her with a running knee strike and
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: she went for Code Blue, but she got tripped up
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: outside by the brawling Birds. Tecla went to go use
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: her aw Women's World title as a weapon, but the
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: referee took it away from her. That distraction, though, allowed
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Julia Hart to spit the Black Mist in thunder Rose's face.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: She's been misted. Tecla quickly got back into the ring.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: She stole the pin to win the match for the heels.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: You know, pretty basic, fair honestly from these eight women.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Not a whole lot to say about the match itself.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: We do have that four way coming up on Sunday.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Techl's not losing the championship. It doesn't make any sense.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Why would you take the
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: title away from Techlan now and put it on who?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Chris Statlander is as cold as she's been in forever,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and she's already got this story going with Shiita She.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I suppose there's a chance Sheeta could win
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: the belt. I think that would be terrible compared to Tecla.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not taking the belt off Tekla to put it
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: on fucking shitah. And then you have Jamie Hayter, who's
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: part of a tag team clearly being built to win
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the tag Belt. I think at Wembley now is not
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: the right time for her to be winning the championship,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: and it would be the same thing that happened when
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Tony Storm lost the title. Didn't Tony Storm lose the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: title in a four way? You know we're not going
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: to do that again. We're not running that shit back again.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Tecla should be the defending champion going into All In.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: If there's a better story that they want to take
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the belt off of her, forbidden Door, I'm all ears right,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what that story would be,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: who would be involved. I've had people say, well, Athena
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: could win the Owen and Mercedes could come back and
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: win the belt before All In. I'm not sure Mercedes
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: is coming back and winning the world title. And if
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: she was, then it would be a big enough thing
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: for that to happen on a show like All In.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think you bring her back to win the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: belt to fucking forbidden Door, you know, I mean that
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me. We're close enough now
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: to that All In show where and Teckler has done
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: some really good work. Just keep the belt on her.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I don't really see any reason to take the championship
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: away from her. I really don't. Kevin Knight was backstage
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: with Speedball Mike Bailey, hyping him up before his big
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: world title match coming up next with Darby Allen. He said,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: you and I could be the faces of AW together.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Because he's got the TNT title, you go win the
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: AW World title. Knight said that when Bailey wins the belt,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: don't forget about the little people. And he wants another
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: shot at that belt, and Bailey says, are you serious,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: He goes, you got it already, guaranteeing him a shot
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: at the championship that he does not have. By the way,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I will mention Kevin Knight wrestling the Amazing Red in
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: House of Glory this sun that is going to be
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: a banger of a match first time ever. Red had
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: a really good match with Speedball actually in Los Angeles
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: earlier this month, and so he's going from Speedball to
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: now wrestling the other member of Jet Speed, And if
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: this match is as good as that one, then we're
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: in for a treat. But tonight was not about Kevin Knight.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Tonight was about Speedball. He was the challenger, the champion,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Darby Allen one more title defense before Sunday of the
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: AW World Championship MJF came out. He sat in on commentary.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Bailey dropped Darby with a kick right from the bell
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and Speedball set up for Ultimate Weapon. Alan, though moved
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: out of position to avoid it, and a little while
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: later they were outside the ring and Bailey had Darby
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: up against the barricade. It was up against it or
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: draped over it. Bailey climbs on top of the barricade.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: He's got his back turn like he's going to do
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the moonsaltnees like the Moonsalt knee drop. But as he's
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: setting up, Darby crotched him on the barricade and then
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: he did a scorpion death drop on top of the barricade.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: That took us into the final break before the top
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: of the hour. After that break, Bailey went for Ultimate Weapon.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Alan moved and Darby went up top. He hit a
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: coffin drop and he had the match one. MJF, though,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: got up off commentary and he placed Bailey's leg on
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the rope. Kevin Knight ran out right que the jet.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: He comes down to the ring. MJF goes over, puts
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: the headset back on. Knight's getting up in his face.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: He goes, oh, easy there, easy there, relax. So Darby
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: hits a scorpion death drop. Bailey it's put in a
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: scorpion deathlock and Knights outside playing cheerleader. He's trying to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: encourage Speedball, you know, don't quit and don't give up.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: He was able to get to the bottom roupe to
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: break the hole. Darby, though, quickly scurries up to the
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: top rope, hits a coffin drop across the back and
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: then reapplied the scorpion deathlog. Bailey reached out, but he
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: was not close enough to the ropes and so Speedball
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: at the ten minute mark. This was not a very
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: long match. Right around ten minutes, between ten to eleven
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: minutes forced to surrender and Darby Allen retains the AW
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: World Championship. Yet again. He keeps doing it. So they
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: quickly went off the air and we had I had
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: a back out of it in the HBO Max app
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: and then start the new Collision stream. So I opened
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Collision and it picks up right where Dynamite left off.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Kevin Knight gets in the ring and he's got a mic. Now,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: mind you, the match just ended. Darby is just he's
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: destroyed on the ground. Speedball still face down on the mat.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: It doesn't even look like he's conscious. And Kevin Knight's
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: already cutting the promo on the mic. Here he's telling
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Speedball how proud of him. He is, and you gave
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Darby the toughest match that he's had his champion, which
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: is not true. By the way. Knight says that now
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: it's all on Darby. It's now up to you. You
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: have to go out there double or nothing and humble MJF.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Because I know, because he's talking about it, like I
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: know you can beat him, and I'm like, yeah, he
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: already has he already beat him. We know he could
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: beat him. Of course we know he could beat him.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: He literally beat him to win the championship. But he
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: knows he could beat him, and he knows also that
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: when you beat MJF, you shave his head bald and
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you send him back to Turkey. The jet will be waiting.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: So don't let me down, don't let the fans down,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: because we're all counting on you. And he ended up
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: helping Speedball to his feet, and he helped Darby to
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: his feet JF. So we see him stalking around. He's
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: in the crowd because he ran off into the crowd,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: and once Jet speed are basically almost to the back MJF,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: he runs back down to the ring and he attacks
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Darby from behind and he grabs a pair of not clippers,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: the shears. Thank you, there you go, fucking the clipper
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: like he's a fucking brutus beefcake out there with the
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: giant garden shears. Anyway, he is going to shave Darby's head.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to get a preview here of double or nothing.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: So instead Darby grabs it and he traps the arm
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and he's going to give us a preview of the
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: pay per view with the shears. And he's gonna cut
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: some of mjf's hair. Oh, he may cut it all
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: off right now. MJF manages to escape and he runs
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: for his life. Let me go back to the Kevin
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Knight promo for a second. The Kevin Knight promo was
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: giving me very serious heel vibes. Right. There was nothing
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: overtly heel about what he was doing. He was putting
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: his partner over and helped them both up to their feet,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and he was given the raw Ross speech for Darby.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: It's all on you. It's all on you, oose. It's
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: up to you to go out there on Sunday and
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: beat this beat this guy and shave him bald. And
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: he's saying all the right things. It's the way in
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: which he said it, and the fact that these men
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: were still down after this match, and he's already out
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: there cutting the promo and you know, flapping his gums,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: making it all about him. He completely took the spotlight
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: away from Darby Allen, and he took the spotlight away
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: from his own tag team partner. It just it gave
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: me very heelish vibes because it's definitely felt like one
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: of the two will be turning heel very soon. I
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: don't know that Speedball is going to make a very
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: good heel. I really don't think it should be. If
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: either of these two men were gonna go heel, it's
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: got to be Kevin Knight, because I think he'd be
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: a very good heel. You know, he's got this just
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: a certain arrogance to some of the some of the
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: things he's saying here, and just the way he's cutting
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: this promo where I think he can make that work
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: for him, where he just thinks he's full of himself, right,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: the jet is too fly, and just the way he
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: talks about himself, I don't think it would be very
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: difficult for the people to buy into him as a heel.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I think it would be a lot tougher with Speedball.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Speedball he's very likable, but he's also a very cornball
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: and I don't think that's gonna make for a very
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: good heel. I just don't think it's gonna work. The
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: biggest surprise to me may have been the fact that
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: we didn't have Kevin Knight offer Speedball a shot at
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the TNT title on Sunday. As of this moment, neither
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: one of them have a match of double or nothing,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: which is actually very very surprising to me, considering not
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: just that he's the TNT champion, but just considering how
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: heavily both of them have been featured on this show,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: especially Kevin Knight. There's still time, right they could still
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: add Speedball against Kevin Knight to the show, unless they
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: did on Collision after I turned it off. I don't know,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: but I thought for sure they were going to throw
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: that in there at the last minute on the pay
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: per view. Maybe they still will, but as of right
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: now that has not happened. But the main event, look,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a solid main event. It was
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: the weakest of all the Darby title defenses so far,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: which is not to say that it was a bad match.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: It was solid, it was fine. But of all the
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: matches Darby has had, he's had some real good ones,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: and this was the least good one of the bunch.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: The biggest surprise to me was that it only went
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: ten minutes. He had three hours. They could have had
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: this match go another five minutes if they wanted to
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: world title match. That was probably the biggest surprise to me,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: But anyway, it was the final one. We finally arrived
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: at long last, no more of these title defenses where
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: we all know Darby's gonna win. Now we get down
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: to the only title defense that matters Darby. Allen MJF
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: on Sunday sold out. They've sold over fourteen thousand tickets
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: for this show. It's going to be a packed house.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: It's be hopefully a hot New York crowd, right New York.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: You know how these New York crowds can be. And
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: so I've given my preview and predictions already. I'm not
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: going to go through the entire card, but as I
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: said at the beginning of the stream, I will be
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: live on Sunday night. I'm actually looking forward to this card.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I think it's a really strong card on paper. I'm
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: assuming MJF is going to win. I mean, if Tony
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Kahn wanted to shock the world, it could go the
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: other way. But I just I can't see it happening.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I think it would be very dumb. I mean, you
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: already had him lose once to this guy, and then
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: he went on to lose I think a couple more times,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: including to Kevin Knight. So he's putting these people over
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and now you're adding the hair stipulation. So now you're
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: gonna do what You're gonna send them back in the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: ring together in the main event of this pay per
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: view and just have Darby beat him again second time
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: in a row. And then where does MJF go from there?
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: If anybody can make the bald gimmick work as something
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: where like he doesn't want people to see him bald,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: he shows up every week, he's got like some kind
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: of Burberry hat that he's wearing over his head or something.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: I have no doubt in my mind that MJF would
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: would be very entertaining in that role. But I just
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: think him going in there and losing again to a
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Darby Allen who has been going balls to the wall
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: for four weeks now, seven title defense is soon to
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: be eight and MJF still can't beat this fucking guy.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: There's something seriously wrong with that picture. The whole point
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: is that he's been running himself into the ground. He's
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: not one hundred percent. That's the whole point. MJF has
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: to win this match on Sunday. I'm sorry, got to
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: win this match. This week's episode is sponsored by Wicks.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: If you run a business like I do, although it
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: may be a little unorthodox, but there's lots of small
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: businesses out there, you know all too well the struggle
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: of having a million things to get done at any
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: given moment and wanting to do all of it yourself.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: It's the fatal flaw of being a perfectionist. But let
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. Creating your own website is something
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: you can absolutely do on your own, and it's easier
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: now than it's ever been thanks to Wicks's new Harmony editor.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: It's an AI website builder that lets you create a
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: website super fast without compromising your vision of what you
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: want it to be. If you can picture it in
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: your head, Wicks Harmony can make it a reality all
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: by just describing your idea. Then you can flow freely
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: between chatting with AI and editing things yourself to get
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: your site looking exactly the way you want it to look.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: And you've got Aria, your own AI agent who can
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: answer any questions you may have or just flat out
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: help you get stuff done. And Aria doesn't just live
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: in a chat box. You can click anywhere on your
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: site and ask her to change something instead of entering
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: prompt after prompt after prompt. Then if you wish, you
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: can go in there by hand and tweak whatever you want.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: If only it was this easy to make a website
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago, it would have made my life a
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: lot easier. Now it can for you and me both

• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I have some breaking news here because I see people
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: in the chat trying to do I'm trying to do
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: a review here and I got people talking about something
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: completely unrelated which is just ridiculous here, So let me
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: see what this is about. Here. We have some breaking
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: news here on the stream and it is not good.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: It is not good. This is from Mike Johnson on
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: PW Insider. I'm gonna just read to you what he
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: wrote here. Marcel Bartel, AKAWWE star Ludwig Kaiser, who currently
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: performs under a mask as El Grande Americano, was arrested
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: earlier today. Bartel was arrested for battery. We are still
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: working on the details of the incident. PW Insider can
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: confirm that he was bonded out of Orange County Corrections
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: on one thousand dollars bail at eleven twenty pm Eastern
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: this evening, so that was literally twenty five minutes ago.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: And he says we have reached out to WWE for comment,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: so that is the only information that we have so far.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Not good. Not good. And the timing is absolutely not
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: good because in ten days he is supposed to have
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: this epic blowoff battle with El Grande Americano gable, the
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: hottest feud in Triple A, maybe the hottest feud in
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Mexico right now, and we've been subjected to countless segments
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: on television week after week here with the Americano bullshit,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: all building to this mask versus mask match. And that
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like. It doesn't sound like there's maybe a
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: good chance that it might even happen at this point,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: although again we only have very limited information, so we
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: will have to see what happens with that battery for
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: what on who? We don't know. We don't know. Maybe
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: he got into a bar fight. He got into a
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: bar fight with somebody, but without any additional information, it's
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: impossible to know. Sean Rossapp confirmed it was not a
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: domestic situation. The altercation was against another male. Well, that's
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: why I said. I mean, we don't know. It could
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: be battery against another wrestler, it could be battery against
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: somebody who picked a fight with him. We don't know.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: When you're being arrested. Regardless of the circumstances, it's not good.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: So we'll wait to see what other information comes out
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: on this. But at least it's good to know that
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like a domestic violence type situation. Is
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: it what you all were freaking out about? I like,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I look over, I see everyone's talking about El Grande Americano.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: I go, when you're fucking kidding me? As if I
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: don't talk about this shit enough. On Mondays, I'm trying
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: to talk about Dynamite and everyone's talking about Algrande Americano
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: and I have no idea why, like, why are you
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: talking about Elgrande Americano on the Dynamite stream. But yeah, well,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll have more information on this come time
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: for the SoundOff on Sunday. All right, let's get into
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: your super chats here, and we're gonna start with our boy,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Joseph Stewart, always always, always showing the love. I appreciate.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: It'd be kind of funny if they really wanted to
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: turn this into a like a work shoot and it
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: turns out the battery was on Chad Chad Gable, we're
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: gonna work the legal system. That would actually be very
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: very dumb. He found Rick Flair. Okay, that's fucking hilarious.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: He found Rick Flair and they decided to throw hands
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: after what Flair said on Ariel Helwani show all those
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. That would be fucking hilarious. If we see
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: mugshots one for Kaiser and then another one for Flair.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Oh Man, Joseph Stewart says, I just found out that
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: there was a plan with Stone Cold getting run over
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: by the Car at Survivor Series ninety nine, the car
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: would have kept going and red balloons would come out
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: of the trunk, teasing the debut of Taz at Royal
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Rumble two thousand. What are your thoughts on this, Joseph.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: That sounds like something that you'd remmed about when you
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: went to bed last night. This never happened. This was
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: never just I'm telling you right now, this was never discussed.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Nothing like this ever happened. That legitimately sounds like something
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: that like the Angle would have happened. And then as
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: a wrestling fan, you would sort of fall asleep that
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: night and you would have visions of that, but then
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: all these other weird things that you would add to it, balloons, leprechauns.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: But look at Joseph Man back to back, he went
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: back to back with the magenta bombs. You can have
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: all the balloons you want. Actually, you know what we have.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: You know what I do have for this very occasion.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I've busted this out in a while, and if I
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: still have it, I may not. Well, I don't have balloons,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: but I thought I had some confetti here, but I
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: guess not. H Now I do. There we go. This
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: is for Joseph. No, I guess not. I guess not
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: parties over Grandpa. Joseph had a second one though, second bomb. Oh,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I'll give Joseph. I always give Joseph
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: the airhorn. Russo had a plan in WCW on Austin
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: getting run over. The plan was a black car would
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: come out on Nitro and Steve Mango McMichael would get
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: out of the car and say he ran over stone
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: cold Steve Austin, Oh, because he married Deborah Yey. But
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Austin wasn't married to Deborah in ninety nine. Joseph, the
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: drugs that you've been dabbling in are very very strong.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: They're very potent. I'm concerned. You have to read the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: dosage on the bottle. You're not supposed to take more
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: than two. These are some very vivid dreams here that
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: you've been having. Why would Russo be booking a WWE
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: angle when he was in WCW always entertaining Joseph. He says,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: happy eightieth birthday to Chure, Oh, share share, She's eighty man,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Happy eightieth birthday to share. Yes, microdosing is the key,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: he said. The reviews for the Masters of the Universe
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: movie have been positive already. Yeah, I heard that the
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: reviews have been largely very positive, which is good to hear.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: The movie isn't out yet, only early previews comes out
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: on June fifth, but a lot of the like the
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: critics and the reviewers who have seen it, have said
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: make sure you stay until the very end of the credits,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: so at least I know that. So. There are leaked
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: pictures of the filming of The Batman Part two online
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: right now. Interesting leaked photos of Scarlett Johanson. You say,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: la la uh did you know? Oh wait, I skipped one?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the new Masters of the Universe trailer
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: that was released online to I did? I did? They
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: should have had that one first. Did you know the
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: cartoon show Gargoyles was about the Gargoyles coming to life
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: at night? I didn't know that that. I did know.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Happy anniversary to the Godzilla nineteen ninety eight movie, which
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: was released on this day in ninety eight. That was
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: with Matthew Broderick right in Hanka's area. Have you seen
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: the Steven Sigal movies Under Siege and Under Siege two? Yes?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: I have. I actually quote under Siege too to this
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: very day. The bad guy, the antagonist, the evil villain
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: from under Siege too was at one time. I'm trying
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: to remember which one it was, but I think it
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: was one of the versions of Law and Order. He
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: was the captain. Which one one? There's been so many
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: of them. I've seen most of them. Lown order was
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: a criminal intent. It might have been criminal intent, Yes,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Eric something, I think his name is also in your opinion,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: do you think al Pacino, Robert de Niro, and Marlon
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Brando are three of the greatest actors of all time? Yes,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: I do. I don't think that's a hot take. I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: met sensational Sherriot at convention back in the early two thousands.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: That's very cool. I met Luna Vashan at the first
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: ever WrestleMania Weekend FanFest in ninety four and got her autograph,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: and I met her again and got an autograph in
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: a photo in ninety eight. Same night I met Owen Hart.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: She was a sweetheart. Happy belated heavenly birthday to Andre
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the Giant. Yeah, I believe his birthday was yesterday, Eric,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: He says, Also, I want to take time out and
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: remember macho man. Randy Savage said, I believe he passed
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: away today. Back in twenty eleven. I think this is
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: the death anniversary of them, of the greatest wrestler that
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: ever lived, the perfect wrestler, macho man, Randy Savage. He
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: had it all, charisma, great promos, great wrestler, colorful outfits,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: always intense, just he checked every single box. The only
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: thing you can really say is that he wasn't the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: biggest guy. You know, he wasn't the smallest, but he
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't the biggest. And when, unfortunately, when he did get
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: very big, he was a lot older and he was
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: immobile because he got all routed up in the later
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: years of WCW. That's my least favorite version of my mine,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Man says, was Shawn Michaels against Mantcho Man, one of
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: the original matches that was supposed to happen to wrestle
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Mania ten No No. Although his brother Lanny has talked
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: about and claimed Savage had this whole two year plan
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: mapped out for a storyline, an angle with him and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Shawn Michaels where they would have at least one, if
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: not two wrestle media matches and it would end with
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: him putting Sewan over but was it ever planned? No,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: was never planned. Do you think that Talia will ever
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: go to a w I think if they ever asked
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: her to take a fifty percent pay cut, that is
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: a pretty good chance. Buy or sell Marcellus Wallace or
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Tony Soprano? Tony Soprano? Who are your favorite characters on
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: the Sopranos? Tony Soprano? I mean, Paulie was an asshole,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: but at least he was an entertaining asshole. Ralphie was
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: just a fucking dick, got exactly what he deserved. Uncle June.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: That's got to be a favorite. Was the Rock always
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: the plan to win the title at Survivor Series in
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: ninety eight? As far as I know, the answer is yes.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: When do you think Adam Cole and Jay White will
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: return to AW television? I've given up on trying to
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: figure out when Jay White is coming back. He's always
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: trolling people too, Like on the day of a big show,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: like a pay per view, He'll always tweet out something
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: like get ready and everybody's like, Oh, Jay White's going
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: to be there, and then he doesn't show up. So
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. Adam Cole may never wrestle again.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: So trying to figure out when he's going to come
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: back is completely fruitless because he may not even be
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: able to come back. Last time I heard about Adam Cole,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: he still couldn't travel, couldn't travel, couldn't fly. But Joseph,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: thank you for all the love tonight. I appreciate it,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: and especially those magenta bombs. Dried Chicken says, we need
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: to see Hikarashet a full blown heel turn. I do
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: not want AW to drag this whole thing out. The
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Unholy Shida wants to get out of the kit. Yeah,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: they got they gotta end this shit. They gotta end
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: this shit this weekend. They gotta. They gotta pull the
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: trigger and just do something because this is just fucking
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: lame at this point. He says, one of these days,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: somebody in WWE needs to throw a bucket of sharp
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: juice at lived Morgan rock sand what And he's also
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: a big fan of the AW ladies. I got some
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: very talented women, thank you, Dried Chicken. Hoffman says, will
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: the wild Card be monet or timeless? I mean, the
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: way that Tony Storm disappeared, I would not expect her
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: back anytime soon. The thought of that position being occupied
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: by Tony Storm. Not one time tonight did it even
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: cross my mind. Mercedes would be a lot more likely
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: than Tony I would think to come back in that spot.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: But maybe they're keeping it under wrap. We don't know
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: the reason why Tony Storm just vanished. Everybody just assumed
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: she was pregnant, but there's never been any confirmation of this.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: And Moore says big fan of how MJF and Darby
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: feels unpredictable. Now, yeah, I mean it's that's kind of
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: their job is to try to convince you that Darby
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: has a chance, and he does. He has a chance.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: To me, though, I don't find the finish to be
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: that much more unpredictable. I'm still pretty confident MJF is
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: gonna win, but look I've been wrong before. Bobart, thank
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: you again for the thirty bucks Love It and Misfit
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Wrestling podcast with a ten Frightful said battery charge was
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: against a mail after an altercation, not a domestic situation
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: as some are speculating. Yes, that is on as on Kaiser,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: and that's at the moment all we know about that situation,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: so we will have to monitor that see where that goes.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: We did fall short tonight of the likes goal, so
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: there will be no be the Booker tonight. There will
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: be no be the Booker. Do I have a If
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: I have a sound I'm gonna have to come up
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: with a sound effect every time we miss the goal
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: on a Wednesday. I'm gonna have to play this, uh
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: this sound effect. Go fuck yourself that. Yes, you all
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: should feel very badly about yourselves. That's what I'm gonna do.

• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: you listen to the Uncrowned Wrestling show yesterday, at the
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: very beginning, I talked about Poomy. He's not only an
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: MMA fighter one of the best flyweights in the entire world,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: but he had started pro wrestling a couple of years ago,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: signed his contract in the ring on my back, signed
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: to be with Hog and he's had a few matches
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: under his belt. He got called in on short notice
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: to be on the Netflix MMA show on Saturday, and
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: it wasn't on the Netflix portion. It was on the prelimbs,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: which aired on YouTube. But he just fought at the
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: End to It Dome on Saturday, a very very controversial finish.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: Lost his undefeated streak, but really should not have. But
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Herb Dean saw it a different way, and he's he's
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: coming in now. He's got a ship on his shoulder
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: and he's looking to smash somebody. So less than a
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: week after rest Or fighting rather at the End to
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: It Dome, Pumi is going to be wrestling at the
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: NYC Arena on Friday night. We just we just got
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: to wait and find out who that is going to
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: be against. And the Shatzi Lena Cross for the Women's Championship.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: We got Lena Cross coming back in one half of
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: the aw Women's Tag Team champions It's gonna be a
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: good show. Winston, what'd you think of it? He says?
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: I saw Obsession yesterday. I fucking loved it. I thought
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: it was great. Maybe forty one eighty one. If liv
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: loses domb, will it end up like Obsession, Now, that
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: would be a storyline. That would be a storyline. I
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: don't I don't believe WWE's creative team has the capacity
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: to come up with a story as compelling as that one.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: It's not in their DNA. I think they're just completely
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: incapable of it. It would be like, in the middle
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: of watching Obsession if they broke the tension with a
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: door dash ad and like the fucking DoorDash guy or
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: not DoorDash guy, the the Whata Burger guy comes walking
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: into the house, it'll just ruin the entire scene. The
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: doorbell rings, you answer the door, It's what a guy.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: It doesn't have the same vibe. All right, Be well,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: stay safe and I'll see you guys this weekend.
