Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Man big win earlier for England against Croatia in the
- 0:04Speaker 1: World Cup, and as we are alive right now, there
- 0:07Speaker 1: is actually a World Cup match going on as we
- 0:10Speaker 1: speak between Columbia and Uzbekistan. I wish I was as
- 0:16Speaker 1: into it as I know some people are. Some people
- 0:18Speaker 1: are just like following every game, you know, all hours
- 0:22Speaker 1: of the day. It's pretty exciting to watch some of
- 0:24Speaker 1: the highlights. I just I don't have time to keep
- 0:26Speaker 1: up with it all. I need somebody to give me
- 0:28Speaker 1: a crash course and everything that's going on with the
- 0:31Speaker 1: World Cup. We got to talk about Dynamite tonight. We're
- 0:36Speaker 1: talking about aw on the Road to Forbidden Door, and
- 0:40Speaker 1: we got some really good wrestling on the show. That
- 0:43Speaker 1: was really what carried the episode tonight. We got some
- 0:45Speaker 1: really good wrestling, the opposite of what we had on
- 0:48Speaker 1: Monday night, where we had very little wrestling. So I
- 0:51Speaker 1: can appreciate that we actually had some good matches tonight.
- 0:56Speaker 1: But outside of a couple of those matches, I can't
- 0:59Speaker 1: sit here and tell you that I'm any more excited
- 1:02Speaker 1: for the pay per view coming up in ten days
- 1:06Speaker 1: or whatever it is than I was a week ago.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I wish I could sit here and tell you that
- 1:10Speaker 1: I was, oh Man, super excited about this Forbidden Door show,
- 1:13Speaker 1: but nah, a couple of matches on their shore. I
- 1:16Speaker 1: think the Owen finals on the men's and women's side
- 1:19Speaker 1: are going to be really good. And I'm sure. Look,
- 1:23Speaker 1: I say this for every AW pay per view, right,
- 1:25Speaker 1: we know the n ring they have that on lock, right,
- 1:29Speaker 1: that's never really in doubt. But it's also about like,
- 1:32Speaker 1: how hyped are you for these events? How hyped are
- 1:34Speaker 1: you for the matches going into it. I'm not feeling
- 1:37Speaker 1: it for this show. I'm just not feeling it. We
- 1:41Speaker 1: had MJF and Mark Briscoe. We learned last week that
- 1:44Speaker 1: instead of getting an AW championship match on the pay
- 1:47Speaker 1: per view, possibly because Mf's knee is not one hundred percent,
- 1:51Speaker 1: they don't want to do a title match. So maybe
- 1:54Speaker 1: that's why they're not doing it. I don't know. What
- 1:55Speaker 1: they're doing instead is we're going to be getting a
- 1:58Speaker 1: six on six team match inside of a steel cage.
- 2:03Speaker 1: We had a cage match that headlined last year's Forbidden Door.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Now we're getting it again, and so tonight both men
- 2:10Speaker 1: were going to choose the members of their respective teams.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And not only that, but we were going to get
- 2:14Speaker 1: a preview of that match because we got a twelve
- 2:17Speaker 1: man tag team match in the main event tonight. So
- 2:20Speaker 1: they gave the match away just without the cage. But
- 2:23Speaker 1: we learn who the members are going to be, and
- 2:25Speaker 1: on the MJF site, it's pretty much who you would expect, right.
- 2:27Speaker 1: He went to the Kallis family, and so it's populated
- 2:30Speaker 1: by members of the Don Kallis family. MJF is going
- 2:33Speaker 1: to be teaming up with people like Androde Ledlow, Kevin Knight,
- 2:38Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher, Jake Doyle. Right, he's got his men that
- 2:42Speaker 1: he is going to be in the ring with Okada,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and then Mark Briscoe is going to have members of
- 2:47Speaker 1: the conglomeration, but not all members of the Conglomeration. He
- 2:51Speaker 1: will also have Kenoski Takeshta, and he will have Darby
- 2:54Speaker 1: Allen and I talked about this last week. It made
- 2:57Speaker 1: sense for both of them to be involved given the
- 2:59Speaker 1: Kevin Knight and le Fletcher are going to be in there,
- 3:01Speaker 1: so they will be a part of that match as well.
- 3:04Speaker 1: And so again we got a preview in the main
- 3:06Speaker 1: event tonight, which when about the way that you would
- 3:09Speaker 1: expect because I think everybody pretty much realizes that Mark
- 3:13Speaker 1: Briscoe of course, is going to get his championship match,
- 3:15Speaker 1: which means his team has to win at Forbidden Door.
- 3:18Speaker 1: They didn't have to win tonight. You've got to at
- 3:21Speaker 1: least create the illusion that for all of this tension
- 3:23Speaker 1: between MJF and members of the Kallis family like Fletcher
- 3:27Speaker 1: and Androte, that they can work together as a unit.
- 3:30Speaker 1: You have to give people the impression that they can
- 3:32Speaker 1: put their differences aside long enough to potentially win the
- 3:35Speaker 1: match at the pay per view. That was the entire
- 3:38Speaker 1: purpose of them doing what they did tonight. So they
- 3:41Speaker 1: want to show you, oh, look, yeah they can coexist, right,
- 3:44Speaker 1: can they coexist? The answer is yes, they were mostly
- 3:47Speaker 1: able to co exist tonight. That will not be the
- 3:50Speaker 1: case of Forbidden Door. Mercedes Money she is going to
- 3:53Speaker 1: Forbidden Door. The only question is who's she going to
- 3:55Speaker 1: be in the ring with. G I wonder, Oh, I
- 3:58Speaker 1: don't know. I'll take a wild guess. We won't know
- 4:03Speaker 1: until collision, but it's going to be Mercedes and Athena
- 4:07Speaker 1: at Forbidden Door. Mercedes, in the meantime, tonight went in
- 4:10Speaker 1: there with Hazuki and the two of them had a
- 4:13Speaker 1: great match couple of years ago, so this was the
- 4:16Speaker 1: first time I think that they've been in the ring
- 4:17Speaker 1: together since twenty twenty four. They went out there, they
- 4:20Speaker 1: got over twenty minutes in this semi final match, and
- 4:23Speaker 1: they tore it up in the ring. There were moments
- 4:27Speaker 1: in the match where the camera cut to like a
- 4:29Speaker 1: close up shot of Mercedes and she looked like she
- 4:31Speaker 1: was just death warmed over, like she was getting her
- 4:34Speaker 1: ass kicked here by this woman. But again, it went
- 4:37Speaker 1: the way that you would expect it to go. That
- 4:38Speaker 1: was the best match on the entire show. And then
- 4:41Speaker 1: we had a face to face confrontation between the two
- 4:43Speaker 1: men who we know will be in the finals of
- 4:45Speaker 1: the Menzoen at Forbidden Door. And this was also really
- 4:48Speaker 1: good stuff between Swerve Strickland and will Osprey. Those really
- 4:52Speaker 1: were the highlights of the show tonight. A really good
- 4:54Speaker 1: promo segment with those two wrapped up by or wrapped
- 5:00Speaker 1: up in a couple of really good wrestling matches. But
- 5:03Speaker 1: as I sit here and we talk about Forbidden Door,
- 5:05Speaker 1: we're on the road to Forbidden Door again. The bloom
- 5:08Speaker 1: is off the rose and the bloom has been off
- 5:10Speaker 1: the Rose for a while now, these shows just seemed
- 5:13Speaker 1: so pointless. Actually, what I was expecting is coming out
- 5:18Speaker 1: of Dominion this past weekend, that maybe we would have
- 5:21Speaker 1: some New Japan announcements about more New Japan talents they're
- 5:25Speaker 1: going to be involved in the show. We got nothing tonight.
- 5:28Speaker 1: The only announcements that we got tonight were Cope and Christian,
- 5:33Speaker 1: who were back on the show. Are going to be
- 5:35Speaker 1: defending their tag team titles against the Dogs, right, I mean,
- 5:38Speaker 1: like the announcements that we got tonight were AW announcements
- 5:44Speaker 1: John Moxley and Bandido for the continental title. There was
- 5:47Speaker 1: nothing concerning CMLL. There was nothing concerning New Japan. It's
- 5:52Speaker 1: just very weird and this was I feel like it
- 5:56Speaker 1: was the same way last year where it was mostly
- 5:58Speaker 1: AW stuff. But in order to justify calling it Forbidden
- 6:02Speaker 1: Door again, Tony feels compelled to like, Okay, we'll include
- 6:05Speaker 1: some talents from here and there because we have to
- 6:07Speaker 1: justify the concepts somehow. But you know, it's basically it
- 6:11Speaker 1: feels like an AW show. It feels like any other
- 6:13Speaker 1: AW show that you would get any other month. I'm
- 6:17Speaker 1: not expecting a double or nothing. Double or nothing was Honestly,
- 6:21Speaker 1: Double or Nothing was the event of the year so far.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I'm not anticipating that this will come close to what
- 6:29Speaker 1: we got with Double or Nothing last month. Certainly my
- 6:32Speaker 1: interest level is not where it was a month ago.
- 6:36Speaker 1: This is your aw Dynamite reviewed is Wednesday, June seventeenth,
- 6:41Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Yeah, lucky dog. Look, Hazuki is a
- 6:46Speaker 1: hell of a wrestler. She really she She won that
- 6:50Speaker 1: crowd over pretty quickly tonight, a crowd of people that
- 6:53Speaker 1: I would say, by and large, probably did not know
- 6:55Speaker 1: a whole lot about her, maybe never saw her work before.
- 6:58Speaker 1: She was very good. Hit the like button and the
- 7:02Speaker 1: subscribe button. If you are new here, and when you do,
- 7:04Speaker 1: make sure you put notifications on so that when I
- 7:06Speaker 1: go live or I have a new upload, you will
- 7:09Speaker 1: be notified by YouTube. Hopefully sometimes YouTube drops the ball
- 7:13Speaker 1: with that. Hit that like button. Super chats are open.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I'm going to be reading your messages as I do
- 7:18Speaker 1: on every stream. I know. We had some of them
- 7:20Speaker 1: that came in before we went live. A Logan Logan Maples,
- 7:26Speaker 1: welcome to the channel. See that's what I'm talking about.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Logan has the right idea to hit that subscribe button.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Let's bring out the wheel. It is a Wednesday, so
- 7:38Speaker 1: you know how things go when it comes to the wheel.
- 7:40Speaker 1: You want to try to keep the number low because
- 7:43Speaker 1: the interest level on Wednesdays is generally lower. You don't
- 7:47Speaker 1: want a number that's too high, otherwise we're not going
- 7:49Speaker 1: to be able to do be the booker. Trying to
- 7:53Speaker 1: think what is the lowest number? I think the lowest
- 7:55Speaker 1: number on the wheel might be three fifty. Let's see,
- 8:02Speaker 1: well that's certainly not three fifty. We have five hundred
- 8:06Speaker 1: and we don't even have five hundred and fifty people
- 8:09Speaker 1: in here yet, but we need somehow, we need five
- 8:11Speaker 1: hundred and fifty likes. Hey, you know you guys have
- 8:14Speaker 1: two thumbs. I wish you could like it twice. Do
- 8:20Speaker 1: what you can. Five point fifty is the goal. If
- 8:23Speaker 1: we somehow hit five point fifty, then we will do
- 8:25Speaker 1: be the booker. So Dynamite came on the air today.
- 8:28Speaker 1: We were backstage with Lexi Naiir Renee was not there
- 8:31Speaker 1: tonight for whatever reason, but she was backstage with MJF
- 8:35Speaker 1: and virtually the entire don Kallis family. I'm pretty sure
- 8:37Speaker 1: the only people who were missing, I mean Wardlow's been
- 8:41Speaker 1: missing for over a year now, But I think the
- 8:44Speaker 1: main people missing were Mark Davis, Josh Alexander, and Hetcha Sero.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time we saw Hetchasaro on
- 8:52Speaker 1: one of these shows. I don't know if there's a
- 8:53Speaker 1: visa issue there. There have been reports about visa issues
- 8:57Speaker 1: and that being the reason we haven't seen people like
- 8:59Speaker 1: command during the Beast mortas. But yes, those are the
- 9:03Speaker 1: only men I believe who were missing. Otherwise, they were
- 9:05Speaker 1: all back there, including Don Kallis himself. MJF was there.
- 9:09Speaker 1: MJF said that he doesn't like Kevin Knight, but he
- 9:11Speaker 1: respects Kevin Knight. He's not afraid to stab people in
- 9:15Speaker 1: the back to get ahead, and he kind of looked
- 9:18Speaker 1: over at Kyle Fletcher as he was saying that Kevin
- 9:22Speaker 1: Knight had the most talent as far as all the
- 9:25Speaker 1: prospects in wrestling. Fletcher didn't like that very much, and
- 9:29Speaker 1: then he turned to address Swerve Strickland, saying that power power,
- 9:34Speaker 1: it's all Swerve ever talks about when he's out there,
- 9:36Speaker 1: power power, power. What do you have Tourette's power power power,
- 9:40Speaker 1: So he said, win the owen and then come take
- 9:42Speaker 1: this championship if you want power. If not, go swerve
- 9:46Speaker 1: right off a bridge. And he also is saying that
- 9:50Speaker 1: he is hoping will Osbury somehow he wins the Owen
- 9:55Speaker 1: and he's the one who gets the championship match at
- 9:57Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium so that he could break his neck. It
- 10:00Speaker 1: told Kenny Omega to hop off his kosher pickle. He'll
- 10:05Speaker 1: never get redemption. And then he asked Don Kallus, how
- 10:09Speaker 1: many times have I beaten Kenny Omega? And Don Kallus
- 10:13Speaker 1: tells him twice, and he says that Omega is nothing
- 10:18Speaker 1: but a mortal who will never get redemption. As if
- 10:21Speaker 1: they couldn't make it any more obvious here, it wasn't
- 10:25Speaker 1: too subtle I would say here in this promo as
- 10:27Speaker 1: far as what the main event of that pay per
- 10:29Speaker 1: view next month should be, hint, hint. MJF said that
- 10:35Speaker 1: everybody that he just mentioned was the star, unlike Mark Briscoe,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and the fans love him because they feel sorry for
- 10:41Speaker 1: him because his brother died, which is horrible. But he's
- 10:46Speaker 1: delusional for thinking that he has a shot at winning
- 10:48Speaker 1: the aw World title. So Don Kallus, he names the
- 10:53Speaker 1: members that will join MJF in this big cage match
- 10:56Speaker 1: as well as the main event tonight. Here on this show,
- 10:59Speaker 1: these are the members that will partner up with MJF.
- 11:02Speaker 1: And he mentions first up, Kevin Knight, He mentions Kyle Fletcher,
- 11:06Speaker 1: he mentions Jake Doyle, he mentions Kazuchka Okada, and then
- 11:11Speaker 1: much to Andrade's surprise, he mentions Andrade Alitalo, who does
- 11:15Speaker 1: not seem terribly enthusiastic about being a part of all this,
- 11:19Speaker 1: and so again we were gonna be getting this main event.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Later in the show, Trent Peretta was in the background
- 11:25Speaker 1: and he looked very He looked crestfallen, like he actually
- 11:28Speaker 1: thought he was going to be selected for this match,
- 11:30Speaker 1: and he was very disappointed when he wasn't you could.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I mean, he kind of lingered it if everybody left.
- 11:36Speaker 1: He was sort of lingering in the background. I don't
- 11:38Speaker 1: know if that's a leading to anything, but it could
- 11:40Speaker 1: be something just to keep an eye on. Andrete was
- 11:44Speaker 1: not happy. And again Callus had a comment down and say, look,
- 11:46Speaker 1: it's all about the Denio and you're gonna get your shot.
- 11:48Speaker 1: You just gotta be patient. You gotta do this. Okay,
- 11:51Speaker 1: you got to be his partner. You'll get your shot
- 11:53Speaker 1: at some point. So that led into the opening contest,
- 11:57Speaker 1: which was Kenny Omega takeing on Tony Nice. Holy shit,
- 12:02Speaker 1: when was the last time we saw Tony Nice on
- 12:05Speaker 1: an episode of Dine? I couldn't tell you. I have
- 12:08Speaker 1: no idea, but he was out there with Aria Devarian,
- 12:12Speaker 1: smart Mark Sterling in his corner, so Nice he missed
- 12:17Speaker 1: a springboard and moon salt and that was all that
- 12:20Speaker 1: Omega needed. Omega took advantage of that. Two snapdragons, a
- 12:23Speaker 1: v trigger Sterling jumped up on the apron he ate
- 12:26Speaker 1: one as well. That knocked him backwards into Davari on
- 12:29Speaker 1: the floor, and then a one winged angel planted Nice
- 12:34Speaker 1: and that was it. Thank you for coming. We'll see
- 12:37Speaker 1: you again in about eighteen months. So after the match,
- 12:41Speaker 1: Omega was about to speak when outwalks Zach Saber Junior,
- 12:46Speaker 1: his opponent at Forbidden Door. He is not alone, though,
- 12:49Speaker 1: he is with bad Dude Tito, who Kenny Omega beat
- 12:52Speaker 1: on Collision, and Mikey Nichols, and Omega realizes that he's
- 12:57Speaker 1: out numbered here, so he slides the microphone to Saber
- 13:02Speaker 1: in the ring and he goes to they had the
- 13:05Speaker 1: elevated ramp in this venue, very short ramp to the ring.
- 13:09Speaker 1: So Omega is standing on the ramp and he is
- 13:11Speaker 1: joined by the Young Bucks and Jack Perry, who is
- 13:14Speaker 1: in the midst of negotiations with AW. I'm sure he
- 13:17Speaker 1: is going nowhere, but you've seen some stories about him
- 13:21Speaker 1: and his contractual status. The belief is that he will
- 13:24Speaker 1: remain with AW, but they are apparently working out a
- 13:27Speaker 1: new deal. So that's where things stand with Jack Berry.
- 13:31Speaker 1: So Saber kicked the microphone back to Omega, who spoke
- 13:35Speaker 1: again and said that he nor anybody else even knows
- 13:39Speaker 1: what TMDK stands for, right, which is Saber's crew. He
- 13:45Speaker 1: respects Zach coming all this way to challenge little old him,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and yeah, you know he has something that Kenny wants.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Wouldn't it look good on your resume if you had
- 13:54Speaker 1: a big, fat W by your name, But it would
- 13:57Speaker 1: look just as good for Kenny beating somebody from his
- 14:00Speaker 1: home away from home New Japan Pro Wrestling. So it
- 14:03Speaker 1: looks like we have some people here and we will
- 14:05Speaker 1: be meeting up soon. A very underwhelming promo. They seem
- 14:10Speaker 1: to be setting up a trios match, maybe for Dynamite
- 14:14Speaker 1: next week, but otherwise not much to this. I mean, look,
- 14:17Speaker 1: it's good to see Kenny Omega on the show, even
- 14:19Speaker 1: if it's a squash, even if it's for ninety seconds.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Everything that came after this, though, was very underwhelming. And again,
- 14:25Speaker 1: Kenny Omega Zach Saber Junior, they're gonna go out there.
- 14:28Speaker 1: They're not gonna have a bad match. Okay, I guarantee
- 14:30Speaker 1: you they're not gonna have a bad match. Two of
- 14:33Speaker 1: the best in ring performers in the entire business. Still
- 14:36Speaker 1: to this day, they're gonna have an excellent match on
- 14:39Speaker 1: the pay per view. I cannot bring myself to care though,
- 14:43Speaker 1: beyond the fact that, okay, yeah, we're gonna get a
- 14:45Speaker 1: great match. But I wish that there was a reason
- 14:48Speaker 1: to really be kind of interested or invested in this,
- 14:53Speaker 1: beyond the fact that they're okay, there's gonna be a
- 14:55Speaker 1: wrestling match between them. I don't know, But again, this
- 14:59Speaker 1: is the issue with Forbidden Door, where when you do
- 15:02Speaker 1: get in this case, a new japan talent who flies
- 15:04Speaker 1: over and they're going to participate in this show, it
- 15:08Speaker 1: usually is a very last minute thing. They kind of
- 15:10Speaker 1: slap it together. You hope it's marquee enough, maybe a
- 15:14Speaker 1: dream match or something that maybe something we've never seen before.
- 15:18Speaker 1: To me, this doesn't really qualify. I don't look at
- 15:21Speaker 1: this as a dream match or anything like that. So
- 15:23Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, how many people are going
- 15:25Speaker 1: to be overly excited about I know there's a segment
- 15:27Speaker 1: that we'll be super excited about this. I was hoping
- 15:31Speaker 1: for a little something more, I guess in this exchange
- 15:34Speaker 1: here we didn't get much of one, though, But what
- 15:36Speaker 1: we did have after this was John Moxley teaming up
- 15:39Speaker 1: with Daniel Garcia to take on Brody King and Bandido.
- 15:45Speaker 1: First time we've seen Broddo back together on this show
- 15:47Speaker 1: in a while. Moxley hit a cutter on King who
- 15:51Speaker 1: knows sold it, and he dropped him with a lariat.
- 15:55Speaker 1: A little while later, King teased the dive Marina Shafir
- 15:58Speaker 1: Tho stood in the way, so he rolled out the floor.
- 16:00Speaker 1: He started barking at her, so she barked back, and
- 16:04Speaker 1: then he barked again, and she barked, and he barked
- 16:06Speaker 1: and she barked. This is all I hear outside my
- 16:09Speaker 1: window here in this neighborhood every day. So the death Riders.
- 16:14Speaker 1: They isolated Brody king through a picture and picture break
- 16:19Speaker 1: that they took here, and after the break he was
- 16:24Speaker 1: able to fight his way out of things with a
- 16:26Speaker 1: double clothesline. Bandido tagged in. He pressed Garcia over his
- 16:31Speaker 1: head before slamming him onto Moxley, who was laying on
- 16:34Speaker 1: the mat. Bandido went for a twenty one plex Moxley.
- 16:37Speaker 1: They'll cut him off, and then tagged out. Later on,
- 16:40Speaker 1: Bandido hit a top rope frog splash on Garcia, had
- 16:43Speaker 1: him beat Moxley, though entered he hit Bandido with a stomp.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Brody hit a German sup plex on mox who stood
- 16:50Speaker 1: right up, but he got put down with a lariot,
- 16:53Speaker 1: and Bandido hit a twenty one plex on Garcia at
- 16:56Speaker 1: the exact same time that Brody hit a suicide dive
- 16:59Speaker 1: out on to Moxley, and they followed the dive and
- 17:04Speaker 1: we missed the finish. So he hits the twenty one plex,
- 17:08Speaker 1: but we never actually saw it, which was certainly a
- 17:11Speaker 1: choice by the production team here, and he got the pin,
- 17:16Speaker 1: and so Brodido picks up the win over the death Riders.
- 17:19Speaker 1: They gave these guys a lot of time. They gave
- 17:21Speaker 1: them over twenty minutes for this something like twenty two minutes.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Not too surprising when you think about the fact that
- 17:27Speaker 1: we didn't have a lot of matches on this show.
- 17:29Speaker 1: The ones that we did have outside of the Omega
- 17:32Speaker 1: one were very long. They were very long. They were
- 17:36Speaker 1: usually twenty twenty ish minutes. I think this match, the
- 17:39Speaker 1: Owen match with Mercedes were about the same length, and
- 17:43Speaker 1: then the main event, I think was a little last.
- 17:45Speaker 1: The main event was like seventeen or eighteen minutes, so
- 17:49Speaker 1: we didn't get a lot of matches on the show.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Kind of makes sense why these would get more time
- 17:55Speaker 1: with that win though. In the back later Brody and
- 17:58Speaker 1: Bandito were being interviewed. Bandido was all hyped up. He's
- 18:01Speaker 1: all amped up. He said he wanted to challenge Moxley
- 18:04Speaker 1: for his Continental championship at Forbidden Door. Death Riders show up.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Moxley tells Bandido, you do realize that means it's Continental rules,
- 18:13Speaker 1: which means no Brody King, no death Riders, right, nobody
- 18:18Speaker 1: will be with us at ringside, and Moxley tells him
- 18:21Speaker 1: shoot your shot. And we were informed later in the
- 18:24Speaker 1: show that Tony Kahan made it official. It will be
- 18:26Speaker 1: John Moxley defending his championship on the pay per view
- 18:31Speaker 1: against Bandido, yet another match that I'm sure is going
- 18:35Speaker 1: to be very good. I mean, Bandido is Bandido was
- 18:38Speaker 1: so much fun, you know, and not for nothing. Moxley's
- 18:41Speaker 1: had some bangers as well this year, but and not
- 18:44Speaker 1: just this year, even going back to the Continental Classic,
- 18:47Speaker 1: Bandido is one of the best in the world. Every
- 18:50Speaker 1: time I watch Bandido, I don't think I've seen a
- 18:53Speaker 1: Bandido match that isn't just fun, that isn't fun to watch.
- 18:58Speaker 1: So I'm sure it's gonna be good, but it just
- 19:00Speaker 1: kind of falls out of the sky. It's like, Okay,
- 19:04Speaker 1: I guess now we're getting John Moxley against Bandido at
- 19:07Speaker 1: the pay per view, Sure, why not? Backstage, we have
- 19:12Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher and Kazutka Okada pro to Okata or in
- 19:15Speaker 1: the back saying they haven't forgotten about the international title
- 19:18Speaker 1: even though they're teaming up with mjf tonight and again
- 19:21Speaker 1: at the pay per view, but they both know somebody
- 19:24Speaker 1: who won't be teaming with Mark Briscoe and the camera
- 19:27Speaker 1: pans down and we see tomohiro Ishi laid out at
- 19:33Speaker 1: their feet. They wish brisco good luck finding another partner
- 19:38Speaker 1: and say that they will see him later tonight in
- 19:40Speaker 1: the main event, Big Tom, Big Tom has been taken
- 19:44Speaker 1: out here. Oh heavens, what will Mark Briscoe do without
- 19:50Speaker 1: Big Tom in his corner? Stay tuned to find out.
- 19:57Speaker 1: We'll go through the teams again a little bit later.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Tomaso Champa, he was a seated backstage, says he doesn't
- 20:03Speaker 1: need one thousand and four reasons why he hates Chris Jericho.
- 20:07Speaker 1: He can give him one. He used to respect the
- 20:09Speaker 1: Lion Heart, the guy who took over New Japan Pro
- 20:12Speaker 1: Wrestling first ever aw World champion. That guy was the
- 20:17Speaker 1: best twenty twenty six Chris Jericho though, the jokes, the puns,
- 20:21Speaker 1: and the desperation. He hates every bit of it. That
- 20:25Speaker 1: guy needs to stay the hell out of Champa's world.
- 20:27Speaker 1: But if Jericho has it in him and thinks that
- 20:29Speaker 1: he's worthy enough, then let's dance balls in your court.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Don't drop it. The segment between them and the ring
- 20:38Speaker 1: last week I thought was fucking terrible. That forced, you know,
- 20:44Speaker 1: childlike comedy calling him Tommy and talking about Tommy's mommy. Like,
- 20:49Speaker 1: what a fucking terrible segment that was? This was very straightforward.
- 20:54Speaker 1: I mean, not much to it really, Jericho. There was
- 20:56Speaker 1: a segment later in the show with Jericho where yeah,
- 21:01Speaker 1: he's not gonna say no. Of course. The only question
- 21:03Speaker 1: is do they do it at Forbidden Door? I assume
- 21:05Speaker 1: they do it at the pay per view. I wouldn't
- 21:07Speaker 1: think they want to leave Jericho off the show. But
- 21:10Speaker 1: if they do it there, it's just another example, like
- 21:12Speaker 1: it's an aw match, and again it just goes to
- 21:16Speaker 1: the whole forbidden door thing. There's nothing forbidden door about this,
- 21:20Speaker 1: so if they do it on the show, it's just
- 21:23Speaker 1: another in a long line of examples of this. The
- 21:26Speaker 1: Dogs were about to make their way out and something
- 21:30Speaker 1: that they have taken to doing is bullying production staff
- 21:33Speaker 1: as they make their way out to the ring. Only
- 21:36Speaker 1: this time they tried to bully one of them, but
- 21:38Speaker 1: it wasn't a production staff member. It was Adam Copeland.
- 21:42Speaker 1: He had his back turned so they didn't realize it
- 21:44Speaker 1: until he turned around, and Christian Cage was there as well.
- 21:48Speaker 1: They got laid out a couple of weeks ago on
- 21:50Speaker 1: TV by these guys, so this was their big return.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't expecting them back this quickly,
- 21:55Speaker 1: so I'm glad they're back. You know, they won the
- 21:58Speaker 1: tag team titles. They shouldn't then turn around and disappear
- 22:01Speaker 1: for weeks on end. So anyway, they started beating up
- 22:04Speaker 1: the Dogs. They fought them out to the ring. They
- 22:07Speaker 1: were about to lay out Clark Connors with a double spear,
- 22:10Speaker 1: David Finley, they'll pulled his partner out to safety, and
- 22:13Speaker 1: the Dogs bailed through the crowd. So Christian said, you know,
- 22:18Speaker 1: after what happened a few weeks ago and they won
- 22:20Speaker 1: the aw tag team titles, people expect him to say
- 22:23Speaker 1: something very unsavory about, you know, one of their family members.
- 22:28Speaker 1: But they're wrong. Even he has standards. In the crowd booed,
- 22:32Speaker 1: they booed standards. Wrestling fans have no standards. Cage said,
- 22:39Speaker 1: though still he's never seen a tag team named after
- 22:43Speaker 1: their mothers before, which see that I kind of like
- 22:49Speaker 1: Copeland said. The Dogs are them from thirty years ago.
- 22:53Speaker 1: So they understand wanting to make a name off their reputations,
- 22:56Speaker 1: but don't realize that Cage and Copeland, they are their
- 22:59Speaker 1: learning curve. They thought that they knew it all, but
- 23:02Speaker 1: they came up against the New Age Outlaws. They came
- 23:05Speaker 1: up against the APA, realizing that they had to learn,
- 23:09Speaker 1: and they picked up a lot from facing those teams.
- 23:11Speaker 1: It's very simple at Forbidden Door. They're going to use
- 23:14Speaker 1: their old man's strength, their knowledge, and their grumpiness to
- 23:18Speaker 1: make sure that when the Dogs enter their house, they
- 23:21Speaker 1: will walk out as broken untrained pups. Tag team title match,
- 23:27Speaker 1: by the way, is now official for the pay per view.
- 23:30Speaker 1: The Dogs will get their shot against Cope and Christian See.
- 23:33Speaker 1: At this point, we're just waiting for the New Day
- 23:36Speaker 1: to show up and shake things up in the tag
- 23:39Speaker 1: team division, maybe even the MotorCity machine Guns. Don't forget
- 23:43Speaker 1: you know, you give it another I don't know, four
- 23:45Speaker 1: or five weeks. There's going to be a bunch of
- 23:46Speaker 1: ninety day clauses that are going to be coming up.
- 23:49Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of free agents all of
- 23:51Speaker 1: a sudden, some of them are going to be right
- 23:53Speaker 1: here in this tag team division. We're just biting time
- 23:57Speaker 1: basically until we get there. We got footage of Starlight
- 24:01Speaker 1: Kid from Japan and they showed her cutting a promo
- 24:06Speaker 1: on Tekla who she will be challenging a Forbidden Door
- 24:09Speaker 1: for the aw Women's World Championship. And this feels like
- 24:12Speaker 1: a Forbidden Door match, right, This is more in line
- 24:15Speaker 1: with the spirit of Forbidden Door, and they made it
- 24:19Speaker 1: a point the announcers did to mention the fact that
- 24:21Speaker 1: in the past she has beaten Techla. In fact, I
- 24:24Speaker 1: think she's beaten Tekla twice in the past. So we
- 24:28Speaker 1: go to comments from Tekla. She's sitting backstage talking about
- 24:32Speaker 1: how she did all that dojo life, the same dojo
- 24:35Speaker 1: life that made Starlight Kid a star, but it got
- 24:38Speaker 1: Tecla kicked out of stardom. Tony Khan has said that
- 24:42Speaker 1: Starlight Kid is his favorite wrestler outside of aaw Techla
- 24:46Speaker 1: doesn't care about that. All she cares about is the
- 24:48Speaker 1: belt around her waist. Spitting on the Stardom logo is
- 24:51Speaker 1: just the beginning of what Starlight Kid could be offended by,
- 24:55Speaker 1: as she'll take her mask off and spit right in
- 24:58Speaker 1: her face. Got a hakka lugi in se bit right
- 25:00Speaker 1: in her face at Forbidden Door. For those of you
- 25:03Speaker 1: who are not familiar with Starlight Kids, she is very good.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I can, off the top of my head points you
- 25:09Speaker 1: to any one specific match. There was a match I
- 25:14Speaker 1: think I saw once. I don't remember how long ago.
- 25:16Speaker 1: It was I want to say it was her and
- 25:19Speaker 1: Azumi that was really good. But she's just she's very talented.
- 25:25Speaker 1: She is a big name for them to be able
- 25:26Speaker 1: to bring over from stardom, and that should be a
- 25:30Speaker 1: very good match. Speaking of very good matches, that leads
- 25:34Speaker 1: to the best match on this show. Probably the best
- 25:38Speaker 1: thing on this show, maybe outside of the Osprey promo
- 25:41Speaker 1: would swerve, which was the semi finals of the Women's
- 25:44Speaker 1: Owen Heart Foundation Tournament. Mercedes Monet made her surprise return
- 25:49Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. She beat Alex Winter, so now
- 25:53Speaker 1: in this round she was going one on one with Hazuki.
- 25:58Speaker 1: These two had a match back in two thousand twenty
- 26:00Speaker 1: four that was very good. I think it went almost
- 26:03Speaker 1: thirty minutes. It's been a while since these two have
- 26:06Speaker 1: matched up in the ring together, and they went out
- 26:09Speaker 1: there tonight and they had a hell of a match. Mercedes,
- 26:15Speaker 1: she slowed things down very early, but it started to
- 26:18Speaker 1: pick up when Hazuki sidestepped a charge through the rope.
- 26:22Speaker 1: She had a DDT on the apron and then she
- 26:25Speaker 1: followed that by three consecutive suicide dives that by the
- 26:29Speaker 1: time she was done, I mean, she was all fired up.
- 26:31Speaker 1: The crowd was getting fired up. She went up top
- 26:35Speaker 1: shotgun dropkick only for a two camp, but she transitioned
- 26:38Speaker 1: into a crossface. Mercedes was able to fight to the ropes.
- 26:42Speaker 1: She had encountered a supplex into two of the three
- 26:46Speaker 1: amigos before sending Hazuki through the ropes. She had a
- 26:51Speaker 1: meteora from the ropes to the elevated ramp and they
- 26:54Speaker 1: actually took a second commercial break at this point. That's
- 26:56Speaker 1: how much time does match got, so even more meteors
- 27:00Speaker 1: after this from Mercedes. You know, she spams that move
- 27:03Speaker 1: about as much as the Young Bucks and the Usos
- 27:05Speaker 1: do with the superkick. I would imagine those knees are
- 27:09Speaker 1: not going to feel too good in twenty years when
- 27:12Speaker 1: she's wrapping up her career. I mean, it's not uncommon
- 27:17Speaker 1: to see seven or eight different meteors from Mercedes in
- 27:20Speaker 1: a match, so she was spamming the meteors here. Finally
- 27:24Speaker 1: she missed one because she went forward again and Hazuki
- 27:28Speaker 1: took over. She hit a lung blower, she landed a
- 27:30Speaker 1: top rope, sent on for a near fall again. She
- 27:33Speaker 1: transitioned quickly into a cross face, and Mercedes was able
- 27:37Speaker 1: to escape, so Hazuki spiked Mercedes with a spinning DDT
- 27:43Speaker 1: and then a brain buster, and Mercedes very wisely rolled
- 27:48Speaker 1: out of the ring to prevent the pen attempt, so
- 27:52Speaker 1: the time that it then took Hazuki to get her
- 27:56Speaker 1: back into the ring, it gave Mercedes a chance to
- 27:58Speaker 1: go for a lung blower that led to a whole
- 28:00Speaker 1: bunch of back and forth pen attempts. Mercedes she wrenched
- 28:04Speaker 1: Hazuki down to the met very violently into a statement maker.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Hazuki was able to roll into a pin attempt, though
- 28:11Speaker 1: Mercedes hit a backstaber, but Hazuki slid through a monet
- 28:16Speaker 1: maker into another near fall. Back and forth these two
- 28:19Speaker 1: women were going. Finally Mercedes got another backstabber statement Maker replied,
- 28:25Speaker 1: and Hazuki tried her best to hang on and fight
- 28:29Speaker 1: out of it, but ultimately she was forced to tap
- 28:32Speaker 1: out and Mercedes monet to the surprise of no one.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I'm sure is going to the finals of the Women's
- 28:39Speaker 1: owen Hart Foundation Tournament in just a couple of weeks.
- 28:44Speaker 1: This is my second favorite match of either tournament so far,
- 28:48Speaker 1: after the will Ospry Mark Davis match that closed Dynamite
- 28:51Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago. This right here, this is
- 28:53Speaker 1: number two for me. I just thought this was tremendous
- 28:56Speaker 1: stuff here from these two. They got a lot of
- 28:58Speaker 1: time again, the same as the opening tag team match,
- 29:01Speaker 1: twenty two minutes, somewhere in that range. Mercedes generally she'll
- 29:06Speaker 1: get what she wants. I remember was it stat Land.
- 29:12Speaker 1: It might have been Statlander a World's End a couple
- 29:14Speaker 1: of years ago. They got like twenty five minutes, and
- 29:18Speaker 1: they said that that was the longest women's match in
- 29:20Speaker 1: AW history. And it's not surprising to me that it
- 29:22Speaker 1: was a Mercedes Moonet match, you know, because I'm sure
- 29:25Speaker 1: she goes to Tony Conn and says, look, this is
- 29:27Speaker 1: how much time you know that I want, or this
- 29:30Speaker 1: is how much time that we need. Tony gives it
- 29:32Speaker 1: to her because she goes out there. When you give
- 29:35Speaker 1: her time, especially with the right person, she goes out there,
- 29:38Speaker 1: she has these killer matches. And so this this was
- 29:42Speaker 1: no different. They had plenty of time. It started slow,
- 29:45Speaker 1: it built. It was very impressive that the people were
- 29:48Speaker 1: able to get behind you know, Hazuki as much as
- 29:50Speaker 1: they were able to, because again I'm sure many of
- 29:53Speaker 1: them have no idea who this woman is or maybe
- 29:55Speaker 1: they've heard the name, but they're not really super familiar
- 29:58Speaker 1: with her work. I know some of the Sikos are,
- 30:02Speaker 1: but she had the crowd, you know one over here
- 30:05Speaker 1: in this match, and they just work well together. They
- 30:08Speaker 1: should gel well together. But the outcome here was never
- 30:12Speaker 1: in doubt. So now we look ahead and on Collision
- 30:16Speaker 1: this coming weekend, it's going to be Athena on the
- 30:19Speaker 1: other side of the bracket wrestling Maya World. Mayo World
- 30:21Speaker 1: had a nice story last week, as sad as it was,
- 30:25Speaker 1: her brother passed away. She was not supposed to be
- 30:28Speaker 1: in that match, but Sire was not medically cleared. She
- 30:33Speaker 1: had brought her tag team partner along with her from Japan.
- 30:36Speaker 1: She was going to sort of pinch hit for her,
- 30:38Speaker 1: but Tony Kahan made the decision to go with Maya World.
- 30:42Speaker 1: She went out there with Sky Blue. They had a
- 30:44Speaker 1: very good match last week, and Mayo World pulled off
- 30:46Speaker 1: the big upset win. So she gets to go at
- 30:49Speaker 1: least one more round deeper into the tournament, but her
- 30:52Speaker 1: tournament run should come to an end this weekend. I mean,
- 30:56Speaker 1: I'm glad that she's getting the opportunity to go out
- 30:58Speaker 1: there I think they're in Texas and Mercedes is not Mercedes,
- 31:04Speaker 1: but Athena is from Texas. Mayas from Texas should be
- 31:08Speaker 1: a good match. But the only match I want to
- 31:10Speaker 1: see at Forbidden do It is not my World against
- 31:13Speaker 1: Mercedes Monete is Athena against Mercedes. We got it one
- 31:18Speaker 1: time on Dynamite over a year ago. It was very good.
- 31:22Speaker 1: And now you put them in the ring on a
- 31:23Speaker 1: pay per view in a tournament final, and you probably
- 31:26Speaker 1: give them at least twenty minutes. They're gonna have a
- 31:28Speaker 1: fucking kick ass match. And yeah, I'll save the Forbidden
- 31:34Speaker 1: Door predictions for later on. I would not make any
- 31:37Speaker 1: assumptions that Mercedes has this under lock and key, I
- 31:41Speaker 1: don't see it that way. I think it could very easily.
- 31:44Speaker 1: There is a scenario in which it could very easily
- 31:47Speaker 1: swing the other way. But that is the match that
- 31:50Speaker 1: I want to see on that pay per view. The
- 31:54Speaker 1: other match I want to see on that pay per
- 31:55Speaker 1: view is the men's owen Hart Final. We got those
- 31:59Speaker 1: two two men in the next segment here, Will Osprey
- 32:02Speaker 1: and Swerve Strickland. If if that match I just talked
- 32:05Speaker 1: about wasn't the best thing on the show, it was
- 32:07Speaker 1: because this was but these two segments, back to back,
- 32:10Speaker 1: were the best parts of Dynamite. Tonight, Tony Schavani is
- 32:13Speaker 1: in the Ring. He welcomes Will Ospray out and he
- 32:16Speaker 1: congratulates him on getting married, because this past week, Osprey
- 32:19Speaker 1: got married to Alex Windsor. Now they never mentioned her
- 32:22Speaker 1: by name, even though they've shown them together on screen,
- 32:26Speaker 1: but yes, they are now officially husband and wife. And
- 32:30Speaker 1: Osprey said that, you know, he was supposed to be
- 32:32Speaker 1: on his honeymoon, but his wife said, look, we can
- 32:35Speaker 1: go to Hawaii whenever we want to. Right now, you
- 32:38Speaker 1: need to go chase your dream. So he said that
- 32:41Speaker 1: he took her upstairs and he smashed the life out
- 32:45Speaker 1: of her, and then he told her to clean yourself
- 32:49Speaker 1: up because he's got to go to Houston. See now
- 32:55Speaker 1: there's a visual I did not need. That's a visual
- 32:59Speaker 1: that wasn't needed for you, for yours truly. That led
- 33:04Speaker 1: to Shavanni introducing Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana, who came
- 33:07Speaker 1: to the Ring. Nona basically kicked Shavanni out, and Swerve said,
- 33:12Speaker 1: it's been almost a year since he even spoke with Ospray.
- 33:17Speaker 1: No texts no calls, and he said that he doesn't
- 33:21Speaker 1: like what he's seen. He's changed. Osprey said nothing about
- 33:25Speaker 1: him has changed except his hair, while something about Swerve
- 33:29Speaker 1: has changed the way he's looking at him. So do
- 33:31Speaker 1: we need to have a chat about something? Swerve said,
- 33:35Speaker 1: We do everything we fought for last year against the
- 33:38Speaker 1: Death Riders, only now I see you every single week
- 33:42Speaker 1: here at these arenas playing Booty boot Camp backstage with
- 33:45Speaker 1: John Moxley. Osprey never even gave a reason why. Yes,
- 33:53Speaker 1: Brev better than Jelly Roll and Kit Wilson's mind, Well
- 33:59Speaker 1: that is that is for damn sure, that's another visual.
- 34:02Speaker 1: I didn't need fucking Jelly Roll in his you remember,
- 34:06Speaker 1: I hate to even bring this up. What did he
- 34:09Speaker 1: talk about in his slam poetry, the rolls of fat
- 34:13Speaker 1: that he would drape over? Oh my god, I'm gonna eh,
- 34:17Speaker 1: I'm just gonna fucking dry heave again. Yeah, I'll take
- 34:22Speaker 1: I'll take almost anything over that visual. I actually curse
- 34:25Speaker 1: you for reminding me, Brev. Thank you, Brev. I wish
- 34:35Speaker 1: this was the Wembley World Title match. This would be
- 34:39Speaker 1: a hell of a match to do in the main
- 34:41Speaker 1: event of Wembley. You are correct, Osprey said, look, I
- 34:46Speaker 1: haven't forgotten and I have n't forgiven what the death
- 34:50Speaker 1: writers did to me. But he realized he had to
- 34:52Speaker 1: let it go for the time being, and he said
- 34:55Speaker 1: it's working. His neck feels great. But speaking of the
- 34:58Speaker 1: night that they snapped this, Osprey said, he saw Kenny Omega,
- 35:04Speaker 1: he saw the Ops, He saw Darby Allen trying to
- 35:09Speaker 1: climb into the cage to help him. And then he
- 35:11Speaker 1: made a crack about you know, Darby's able to climb
- 35:14Speaker 1: to the top of Mount Everest, but he can't climb
- 35:16Speaker 1: a cage. I made that very point my review last year.
- 35:19Speaker 1: How fucking ridiculous it was that nobody could climb over
- 35:22Speaker 1: this cage to help will Osprey from getting his neck snapped.
- 35:27Speaker 1: So here he is poking fun at the exact same thing.
- 35:29Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. At least they have a sense of
- 35:32Speaker 1: humor about it. But the one person he did not
- 35:35Speaker 1: see attempting to help him, no, Swerve, Strickland Swerve was
- 35:40Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. Where were you? But he understands
- 35:44Speaker 1: Swerve tore his knee up, he tore his meniscus. They
- 35:48Speaker 1: took the young bucks out of power last year at
- 35:50Speaker 1: all in Texas, and he said that he needed help
- 35:53Speaker 1: to get the championship off of John Moxley and on
- 35:55Speaker 1: to hangman Adam Page. Strickland didn't help though. Will ended
- 36:01Speaker 1: up in a hospital that night and he saw the
- 36:02Speaker 1: footage and then Swerve came out to help it. Will
- 36:06Speaker 1: says that when you're his brother, he expects that you're
- 36:09Speaker 1: going to run through a brick wall for him. That's
- 36:11Speaker 1: what he would do for the other person as well,
- 36:14Speaker 1: and he says, where were you. Swerve goes to speak,
- 36:19Speaker 1: Osprey just smacks the mic right out of his hand
- 36:21Speaker 1: and he says, on second thought, I don't want to
- 36:24Speaker 1: hear it. He says, Swerve is looking for redemption. But
- 36:26Speaker 1: this is his dream, bruv. This is my dream, brov.
- 36:32Speaker 1: He worked outside of Wembley Stadium at various jobs and
- 36:35Speaker 1: when he was fifteen years old, the kid said that
- 36:37Speaker 1: it would be their dream to kick the winning goal
- 36:39Speaker 1: in the World Cup. Now Osprey is one step closer
- 36:43Speaker 1: to kicking that game winning goal at Wembley Stadium. He
- 36:47Speaker 1: doesn't know if Strickland looks at him as a brother
- 36:49Speaker 1: or an enemy, but he knows that Strickland would not
- 36:52Speaker 1: hesitate to end him, and so Osprey will not hesitate
- 36:55Speaker 1: to end Swerve. So Swerve grabs the mic. He said,
- 37:00Speaker 1: as he's you know, not if he ends will first.
- 37:03Speaker 1: It is basically what he said here. Swerve had to
- 37:06Speaker 1: stand in this ring and listen to Osbury say that
- 37:08Speaker 1: it wasn't his time, but it was Hangman's time. And
- 37:11Speaker 1: he sat back and he listened, and they got the
- 37:13Speaker 1: championship away from John Moxley. They got the championship on
- 37:17Speaker 1: to Swerve or onto Hangman. But where's Hangman now? Said Hell,
- 37:24Speaker 1: Hangman can't even challenge for the world title anymore. So
- 37:28Speaker 1: all of your hard work was for nothing. So now
- 37:33Speaker 1: you expect Swerve to just step aside so that you
- 37:36Speaker 1: can take my spot. Fuck that? And they censored the audio.
- 37:40Speaker 1: But I could read lips, just like Roman Reigns and
- 37:43Speaker 1: Jacob fought too on Monday night. I could read lips.
- 37:46Speaker 1: I know what he said. So Strickland said that he
- 37:50Speaker 1: had veterans push him around when he was younger, and
- 37:52Speaker 1: he had to sit at home for six weeks when
- 37:54Speaker 1: he was the aw world champion because weak ass egos
- 37:58Speaker 1: got in the way. I wonder what that's about. But
- 38:03Speaker 1: he throws Molotov cocktails into the system and he enjoys it.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Every time they step in this ring, they raise the bar.
- 38:10Speaker 1: One thing is for certain. He says that he will
- 38:13Speaker 1: be victorious over Osprey as he has been unable to
- 38:16Speaker 1: beat Swerve for the last ten years. And when Strickland
- 38:21Speaker 1: mows over Ospray and he wins the world title at Wembley,
- 38:24Speaker 1: maybe Will could challenge for it and Swerve can beat
- 38:27Speaker 1: him again and again and again. This Will Osprey is
- 38:32Speaker 1: not better than him. On Swerve's worst day with his
- 38:36Speaker 1: fragile ass neck and that was just one crack too
- 38:40Speaker 1: far for Osprey. He punched Swerve in the mouth, knocked
- 38:45Speaker 1: him down on his ass. Prince Nana handed Swerve a
- 38:48Speaker 1: chain and he was gonna use it until the Death
- 38:52Speaker 1: Riders came out and Moxley, Garcia, Marina Shaffir pack. They
- 38:57Speaker 1: all surround the ring and Swerve said to Osprey, he said,
- 39:01Speaker 1: you know you're right, you really have changed, and then
- 39:06Speaker 1: he walked up the ramp and he took his leave.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Ospray left with the Death Riders through the crowd. Daniel
- 39:12Speaker 1: Garcia looked to be upset with Osprey, gus that he
- 39:15Speaker 1: didn't put a bigger beatdown, maybe on Swerve and actually
- 39:19Speaker 1: in the back after this, Garcia was berating Ospray. He
- 39:22Speaker 1: was asking, what are you going to do about, you know,
- 39:24Speaker 1: him calling you fragile? So Ospray slammed Garcia up against
- 39:28Speaker 1: the wall. Moxley walked in. He asked Osprey, do you
- 39:31Speaker 1: feel like you're in control? And he says he doesn't.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Moxley said, it's only words. They use words when they
- 39:38Speaker 1: have nothing else to use. He said, you're this close.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Don't lose control, don't lose focus, and so at that
- 39:46Speaker 1: point Osprey let go of Garcia. I thought this was
- 39:50Speaker 1: a very strong promo. I really enjoyed this. Again, outside
- 39:54Speaker 1: of the visual of Will Ospray going around and smashing
- 39:58Speaker 1: like he's you know, Bruce Ben, but I like the promo.
- 40:02Speaker 1: I liked the callbacks to the story last year where
- 40:05Speaker 1: Swerve and Osprey they were they were trying to help
- 40:08Speaker 1: Hangmen win the championship away from John Moxley so that
- 40:12Speaker 1: he could be the savior of the company. We have
- 40:14Speaker 1: to work together, we have to band together, even with
- 40:17Speaker 1: the bad blood that Swerve and Hangmen had in their past.
- 40:20Speaker 1: We have to help this man win the world title.
- 40:22Speaker 1: We have to get that championship out of that briefcase,
- 40:25Speaker 1: get that title away from the death riders. So I
- 40:29Speaker 1: like them calling back to that. I like the Osprey
- 40:31Speaker 1: calling back to the fact that Swerve, you know, never
- 40:34Speaker 1: showed up. He was one of the people that actually
- 40:37Speaker 1: didn't show up to try to rescue him before he
- 40:39Speaker 1: got his neck broken in London last year. So there's
- 40:43Speaker 1: a lot of history here. The mention of their first match,
- 40:46Speaker 1: the fact that Will has not been able to beat Swerve,
- 40:50Speaker 1: may mean the fact that Swerve beat him two years
- 40:51Speaker 1: ago at this very pay per view, you know, and
- 40:54Speaker 1: that was a very different situation back then because at
- 40:56Speaker 1: that point it was Babyface against Babyface. Swerve was very
- 41:00Speaker 1: early in his world title run. They were trying to
- 41:02Speaker 1: give him some credibility. And now here we are two
- 41:06Speaker 1: years later as a tournament final. The winner is going
- 41:08Speaker 1: to the main event of Wembley. Swerve has been there before,
- 41:12Speaker 1: Osprey has not. And we all know how this story ends,
- 41:16Speaker 1: right the story at the very least, it ends with
- 41:19Speaker 1: him punching his ticket to Wembley and being in the
- 41:22Speaker 1: main event. It can't go any other way. Everything is
- 41:24Speaker 1: being built around this, This tired story is building to
- 41:28Speaker 1: Will Osprey getting into the main event in his home country.
- 41:33Speaker 1: All the stuff with the death writers like, I'm still
- 41:35Speaker 1: expecting there to be a match. Maybe there won't be,
- 41:37Speaker 1: but I'm still expecting there to be a match between
- 41:40Speaker 1: Moxley and Osprey. Is like, this is your final test.
- 41:44Speaker 1: That could be a redemption match, not for the continental title.
- 41:47Speaker 1: The continental title has nothing to do with any of this,
- 41:50Speaker 1: but just to get them in the ring together so
- 41:52Speaker 1: that Will could get that win back over Osprey now
- 41:55Speaker 1: or over Moxley. The only reason maybe they wouldn't do
- 41:59Speaker 1: it is if Osprey's gonna win the championship at Wembley,
- 42:04Speaker 1: maybe they want to set up a program post pay
- 42:06Speaker 1: per view coming out of Wembley where they work together
- 42:10Speaker 1: for the world title, so they don't want to give
- 42:13Speaker 1: it away. Now that's possible, right, because he's gonna need
- 42:16Speaker 1: people to work with other than maybe swerve An MJF
- 42:22Speaker 1: and Moxley may well be one of those people. You know,
- 42:25Speaker 1: they could be playing the long game here where it's like,
- 42:27Speaker 1: all right, at some point these two were going to
- 42:29Speaker 1: wrestle for that World championship. But I really like this.
- 42:33Speaker 1: I thought this was in terms of giving us something
- 42:36Speaker 1: to I think get you more invested or excited or
- 42:41Speaker 1: interested in one of the matches on that pay per view.
- 42:45Speaker 1: To me, anyway, they haven't done a great job with
- 42:47Speaker 1: most of the other matches. This is the sort of
- 42:49Speaker 1: thing that you want to do right to get people
- 42:52Speaker 1: hot for a match between them. I thought they did well.
- 42:56Speaker 1: I thought they succeeded in what they were trying to do.
- 43:00Speaker 1: And then we had the main event. I told you
- 43:01Speaker 1: we didn't have a lot of matches on this show.
- 43:03Speaker 1: That's why they were so damn long. We had Team MJF,
- 43:05Speaker 1: which was MJF, Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Kazuska Okata, Jake Doyle,
- 43:10Speaker 1: and androde l Edelo say that ten times fast against
- 43:15Speaker 1: Team Briscoe. But who would be on Team Briscoe? Now,
- 43:19Speaker 1: before I tell you, MJF came out his leg heavily
- 43:22Speaker 1: wrapped his knee, his thigh heavily heavily wrapped up. This
- 43:26Speaker 1: is after he hyper extended his knee in that match
- 43:28Speaker 1: two weeks ago against Rusche. So whether it was just
- 43:32Speaker 1: for added effect or his leg is still that fucked up.
- 43:36Speaker 1: That's the story that they want to tell going into
- 43:39Speaker 1: the pay per view, they drew attention to it on commentary,
- 43:43Speaker 1: so the heels had already entered. And then up on
- 43:46Speaker 1: the big screen we see brisco and he's in the
- 43:48Speaker 1: back and he's flanked by Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong, Orange, Cassidy, Tomohiroe.
- 43:57Speaker 1: She was taken out earlier, so he's not there, and
- 44:02Speaker 1: brisco says that if she will be back, they will
- 44:05Speaker 1: avenge him. Kyle points out that if anybody gets disqualified
- 44:10Speaker 1: in this match tonight, they're out of forbidden door, and
- 44:14Speaker 1: this bums out Briscoe, who says that he was hoping
- 44:16Speaker 1: to smash mjf in the head tonight with a steel chair.
- 44:20Speaker 1: But he says, we got two partners here in addition
- 44:22Speaker 1: to the three that you see here, actually the four,
- 44:26Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the four of them. Number one friend of theirs,
- 44:33Speaker 1: the reigning international champions, somebody who can't wait to get
- 44:37Speaker 1: his hands on Kyle Fletcher and Okata canow skates to Keshi,
- 44:42Speaker 1: so he walks in, and he walks in and he
- 44:48Speaker 1: says that what do you say about Fletcher? I think
- 44:53Speaker 1: he said that with Fletcher, I want you or I
- 44:59Speaker 1: want a piece of you. But then Okata he said,
- 45:01Speaker 1: I hate you. I think that's what it was. The
- 45:04Speaker 1: final member of the team is going to be the
- 45:07Speaker 1: man who really can't wait to get his hands on
- 45:09Speaker 1: Kevin Knight even more than MJF. And that is the
- 45:12Speaker 1: former AW World champion Darby Allen and Darby comes in.
- 45:17Speaker 1: He says, you know, I've heard that shit about the
- 45:19Speaker 1: glass ceiling my entire life, and we're gonna go out there.
- 45:24Speaker 1: We're gonna beat their asses tonight. We're gonna beat their
- 45:26Speaker 1: asses again at Forbidden Door so that Brisco gets his
- 45:29Speaker 1: shot at the AW World title. And so we got
- 45:33Speaker 1: a match here. Jake Doyle actually got more shine than
- 45:36Speaker 1: any other single person in the entire match, and the
- 45:39Speaker 1: announcers even brought up how dominant he was being. Late
- 45:43Speaker 1: in the match, Doyle was holding Darby. They were on
- 45:45Speaker 1: They had worked their way over to the stage where
- 45:47Speaker 1: the announcers were and they have Darby. Kevin Knight is
- 45:51Speaker 1: there as well, and he's throwing some body shots and
- 45:54Speaker 1: kidney shots at him. Doyle and Knight then tossed Darby
- 46:00Speaker 1: off the stage. Off the ramp. Darby hits the ring
- 46:05Speaker 1: post on the way down and it spins his body
- 46:08Speaker 1: as he crashes down to the floor. He just had
- 46:11Speaker 1: to put a little something extra on that bump there,
- 46:15Speaker 1: so that took care of him. We didn't see Darby
- 46:17Speaker 1: again after that. In the ring, Briscoe hit MJF with
- 46:20Speaker 1: a jade driller, dropped him right on his head, but
- 46:22Speaker 1: don Kallus got up on the apron to distract the
- 46:24Speaker 1: referee before he can count the fall, and so brisco
- 46:28Speaker 1: dragged MJF over towards the corner. He went to the ropes.
- 46:31Speaker 1: He was going to go set up for Froggy Bow. Yeah, Roderick,
- 46:37Speaker 1: that's a good points. That's kind of what I was
- 46:39Speaker 1: alluding to before. Could be the Moxley is going to
- 46:41Speaker 1: want to shot at the Championship as a favor for
- 46:46Speaker 1: all the help that he has been providing to will Osprey,
- 46:49Speaker 1: So they may want to save them match for after all.
- 46:53Speaker 1: In anyway, so Brisco drags MJF towards the corner. He's
- 46:58Speaker 1: going to go for Froggy Bow. Fletcher trips him. Roddy
- 47:01Speaker 1: tagged in strong set MJF up for something. MJF though
- 47:06Speaker 1: he wrenched the arm and he applied the salt of
- 47:08Speaker 1: the earth and he got the submission team, MJF picks
- 47:12Speaker 1: up the wind. After the match, the Heels worked over
- 47:14Speaker 1: the baby Faces. MJF put the dynamite diamond ring on
- 47:17Speaker 1: his finger. He wanted Andrade to hold brisco Androtte didn't
- 47:22Speaker 1: like this. He didn't like being ordered around, and so
- 47:25Speaker 1: he argued with MJF and he gave him a shove.
- 47:28Speaker 1: Don Caallus intervened. Finally, Androde held Briscoe and MJF hit
- 47:33Speaker 1: him in the head with the diamond ring and with
- 47:35Speaker 1: all the baby Faces splattered about, the Heels celebrated victorious,
- 47:40Speaker 1: and that is how the show went off the air.
- 47:42Speaker 1: The match was pretty much what you would expect. We
- 47:46Speaker 1: got some good wrestling here, but it was mostly, you know,
- 47:48Speaker 1: trying to tell the story. There was some dissension there
- 47:52Speaker 1: as the match progressed with the callous family members who
- 47:55Speaker 1: do not like MJF. They do not want to help him,
- 47:57Speaker 1: they do not want to team with him. It didn't
- 48:01Speaker 1: matter in the end, He'll still picked up the win.
- 48:05Speaker 1: Kind of a wild match. It's gonna be even wilder
- 48:08Speaker 1: on the pay per view because you're putting them in
- 48:09Speaker 1: a cage now. In the past, aw the cage they
- 48:13Speaker 1: use is huge because you think, like, man, they're gonna
- 48:16Speaker 1: put twelve of these guys in one cage. It's not
- 48:18Speaker 1: even blood and guts where you have two rings. But
- 48:21Speaker 1: from my memory, they use a pretty big cage, so
- 48:25Speaker 1: I'm sure it's not gonna be an issue. But you're
- 48:27Speaker 1: still taking twelve guys and putting them in a cage.
- 48:29Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it's gonna be a clusterfuck.
- 48:33Speaker 1: And in a cage match, there's no rules, so you
- 48:35Speaker 1: know people are gonna bleed, there's gonna be weapons. I mean,
- 48:37Speaker 1: you know what to expect. Just take a look at
- 48:40Speaker 1: what they did last year. That was lights out. I
- 48:42Speaker 1: think this is not, but it's gonna be the same thing.
- 48:46Speaker 1: It's gonna be. So this was a tamer version of
- 48:48Speaker 1: what we are going to get on the pay per
- 48:50Speaker 1: view on the twenty eighth. It was fine. It was
- 48:54Speaker 1: not the best match of the show. It was not
- 48:55Speaker 1: my favorite match of the show, but it was fine.
- 48:59Speaker 1: A lot of you know, big names in there as
- 49:01Speaker 1: far as this roster is concerned, and the Heels getting
- 49:05Speaker 1: the win, I mean, come on, you had to see
- 49:07Speaker 1: that coming from a mile away, because it's gonna swing
- 49:09Speaker 1: the other way Forbidden Door. The only way this ends
- 49:13Speaker 1: is with Briscoe's team getting the win, so that way
- 49:16Speaker 1: he can get his championship match and they can hopefully
- 49:18Speaker 1: just do it on Dynamite. At some point in July
- 49:22Speaker 1: they have these themed episodes of Dynamite. You do it
- 49:25Speaker 1: on Dynamite, you get it out of the way. The
- 49:28Speaker 1: thing I will say that I at least like that
- 49:30Speaker 1: they're trying to do here. If you look at the
- 49:32Speaker 1: people who are in this who are in the match tonight,
- 49:36Speaker 1: who are in the match of Forbidden Door, it isn't
- 49:39Speaker 1: just like a random collection of people. I mean Jake
- 49:42Speaker 1: Doyle being in their shore, but it isn't really just
- 49:45Speaker 1: a random collection of people. You do have different stories
- 49:48Speaker 1: at least that are progressing as part of this one
- 49:51Speaker 1: match MJF and Briscoe. MJF is also not well liked
- 49:58Speaker 1: by Kyle Fletcher. He's well liked by Andrade. He's not
- 50:01Speaker 1: well liked by Kevin Knight, right, so he got that
- 50:04Speaker 1: especially the Andrade element. You have that element going on.
- 50:07Speaker 1: Is that going to cause issues between members of the
- 50:09Speaker 1: Kallis family. Is Andrade going to you know, be it
- 50:12Speaker 1: Kevin Knight's throat we don't know, Androte feels like he's
- 50:15Speaker 1: already got one foot out the door anyway. He's gonna
- 50:17Speaker 1: be a baby face soon enough. But then you got Takeshta,
- 50:21Speaker 1: who doesn't like Fletcher, but he also doesn't like Okada,
- 50:25Speaker 1: so he got that going on. You got Darby Allen,
- 50:27Speaker 1: he hates Kevin Knight, but he also hates MJF. So
- 50:32Speaker 1: there's a lot of that going on at least, which
- 50:35Speaker 1: I like. I'm still just not a fan of lumping
- 50:39Speaker 1: again everybody together and running back a multiman cage match.
- 50:43Speaker 1: And I really hope this does not become the new
- 50:46Speaker 1: annual thing that they do on these shows. But if
- 50:50Speaker 1: mjfsknee is not yet one hundred percent and they don't
- 50:52Speaker 1: trust him enough or they don't want to risk it
- 50:55Speaker 1: to put him in a singles match, I don't know
- 50:57Speaker 1: if we would have gotten this match regardless. My gut
- 51:00Speaker 1: tells me no that you would have just done the
- 51:03Speaker 1: title match at Forbidden Door. Just do it there, Just
- 51:06Speaker 1: blow it off there, and if you want to take
- 51:09Speaker 1: some of these other guys and do some sort of
- 51:11Speaker 1: you know, match or a trios match them, you could
- 51:13Speaker 1: always do that, because I think the direction for I
- 51:17Speaker 1: guess it could be Redemption. But if not Redemption, then
- 51:21Speaker 1: Wembley would be Darby challenging Kevin Knight Right, you would
- 51:25Speaker 1: think for the TNT Championship to Keshtan Fletcher. Again, that
- 51:30Speaker 1: feels to me like a Wembley match. But you got
- 51:35Speaker 1: this Redemption pay per view coming up on the twenty
- 51:37Speaker 1: sixth of July, first time they've ever had one of those.
- 51:41Speaker 1: I'm expecting MJF and Kenny omegaan the main events on
- 51:44Speaker 1: that show. I really I don't see how it could
- 51:47Speaker 1: be anything else. I think you got to do the
- 51:50Speaker 1: Brisco match on TV. That main event at Redemption has
- 51:53Speaker 1: to be Omega and MJF. They've dropped too many hints
- 51:56Speaker 1: for it not to be anything else would be a
- 51:59Speaker 1: disappoint So there you go. I liked, I really liked
- 52:05Speaker 1: a couple of the matches on this show. And again,
- 52:07Speaker 1: if you did not see the promo with Osprey and Swerve,
- 52:11Speaker 1: I would go out of your way to go take
- 52:13Speaker 1: a look at that. Outside of that, yeah, pretty average
- 52:18Speaker 1: episode of Dynamite, basically what you would have expected. Take
- 52:22Speaker 1: a look at the wheel goal was five point fifty
- 52:26Speaker 1: for those who joined late, and we are currently at
- 52:29Speaker 1: three fifty eight. An admirable effort, but it does not
- 52:35Speaker 1: look like we are going to be doing any Be
- 52:38Speaker 1: the Booker tonight, So unfortunately, Be the Booker will have
- 52:47Speaker 1: to wait until at least Monday, because I will not
- 52:50Speaker 1: be here on Friday for Smack. Then I will be
- 52:52Speaker 1: in Chicago for House of Glory Bliss. Ben says today
- 52:58Speaker 1: marked eight years and so Alexa Bliss's last world title win. Well,
- 53:03Speaker 1: if anybody in the chat would know that, it would
- 53:07Speaker 1: be you. You never failed to disappoint me, Joseph Stewart,
- 53:20Speaker 1: You never failed to disappoint me either, always showing love
- 53:26Speaker 1: also big into the anniversaries. I see. I hope you
- 53:31Speaker 1: enjoyed your time at the theater. I'm gonna be at
- 53:34Speaker 1: the theater tomorrow. I'm gonna be going to the movies tomorrow.
- 53:39Speaker 1: Joseph with a pair of ten dollars Superchats says, I
- 53:45Speaker 1: have an idea. What if Dominic Mysterio wins Money in
- 53:48Speaker 1: the Bank Opah Femi wins the world title from Roman
- 53:52Speaker 1: in SummerSlam, with dom cashing in on Oba at the
- 53:55Speaker 1: end of the match and becomes the new world champion. Joseph,
- 53:58Speaker 1: I think that would be terrible. I think that would
- 54:00Speaker 1: be absolutely god awful, and I very much hope that
- 54:05Speaker 1: doesn't happen. But I say, I know, Joseph is a
- 54:09Speaker 1: big dirty dom guy. I get it. It's like Bliss
- 54:13Speaker 1: fan is a big Alexa Bliss guy. I get it.
- 54:17Speaker 1: It's a terrible idea, says Oba. Femi wins the Royal
- 54:20Speaker 1: Rumble and challenges Dominic for the world title of WrestleMania,
- 54:24Speaker 1: then and Oba beats dom to become the new world champion.
- 54:27Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this idea again, Joseph, I
- 54:29Speaker 1: love you, brother, but that is just that is terrible.
- 54:32Speaker 1: I think that would be a terrible idea. I mean
- 54:37Speaker 1: there's again, there's being a fan of someone, and then
- 54:40Speaker 1: there's just whatever that is supposed to be. If they
- 54:51Speaker 1: made a movie about Undertaker and Kine's characters, which actor
- 54:56Speaker 1: DC playing Undertaker or Kane? I don't know who would
- 55:03Speaker 1: be big enough to make the Undertaker role work. It
- 55:07Speaker 1: would have to be somebody who's close to seven feet tall.
- 55:11Speaker 1: I mean, you could always put lifts in someone's boots,
- 55:13Speaker 1: but the lifts will only you know, lift you so much. Still,
- 55:18Speaker 1: you gotta have a big guy in that role. I
- 55:27Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if any actors that would
- 55:29Speaker 1: be able to size wise pull that off that I
- 55:32Speaker 1: care enough to see in that role like good actors.
- 55:37Speaker 1: Do you think WW two thousand is more watchable than
- 55:40Speaker 1: what Triple H is doing in WWE right now? No?
- 55:44Speaker 1: I think WWE right now is barely watchable. And I
- 55:46Speaker 1: think WW two thousand, for the most part, was just
- 55:49Speaker 1: the pile of dog shit, and I actively avoid it.
- 55:54Speaker 1: Whenever I see they've uploaded content from that era on
- 55:56Speaker 1: the WW Vault channel, I actively go out of my
- 55:59Speaker 1: way to watch it. It was dog shit then, it's
- 56:04Speaker 1: still dog shit. Today. Is Sting versus Hogan, It's star
- 56:08Speaker 1: K ninety seven, the biggest match in WCW history. I
- 56:13Speaker 1: you know, I don't see how. I don't see how
- 56:15Speaker 1: it isn't you know, despite how it turned out, The
- 56:19Speaker 1: answer is yes. The only other thing that comes close
- 56:22Speaker 1: that I could think of is Hogan Goldberg get the
- 56:25Speaker 1: Georgia Dome. That would be the closest thing. But Sting
- 56:31Speaker 1: and Hogan was built up for a year and a half.
- 56:34Speaker 1: So the answer is Stinging Hogan. Top five biggest feuds
- 56:40Speaker 1: in WCW history. Sting and Flair, Sting, Invader Hogan's thing.
- 56:53Speaker 1: To me, those are those are like the first three
- 56:55Speaker 1: that I think of. I don't know if you want
- 56:59Speaker 1: to go maybe Dusty and Flair. I mean, at that
- 57:02Speaker 1: point it kind of gets a little fuzzier, it gets
- 57:04Speaker 1: a little bit harder at that point. But for me again, Sting, Sting, Hogan, Sting,
- 57:10Speaker 1: Flair Sting, Vader Sting being the common denominator in case
- 57:14Speaker 1: you couldn't tell, That's why they called him the franchise
- 57:18Speaker 1: of WCW. He was the guy. Yao Ming is the undertaker?
- 57:25Speaker 1: Can Yao Ming act? So you're gonna cast Yao Ming
- 57:32Speaker 1: as a a ginger from Texas? That's a bold choice.
- 57:43Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Mike Myers saying that Austin
- 57:46Speaker 1: Powers for is going to happen? I hope not. I'm
- 57:54Speaker 1: not a big Austin Powers guy. I enjoyed the first movie.
- 57:58Speaker 1: I I'm pretty sure I saw the second one, didn't
- 58:02Speaker 1: see the third, don't care to see it. Fourth Spanish
- 58:08Speaker 1: Gottish is with us. This has been the most lackluster
- 58:11Speaker 1: booking for a Forbidden Door. I don't get why they
- 58:14Speaker 1: didn't target more CMLL talents for this since they are
- 58:17Speaker 1: in San Jose, a Hispanic market. Disappointed for this upcoming
- 58:21Speaker 1: pay per view. Yeah, I mentioned CMLL before and the
- 58:26Speaker 1: lack of CMLL representation on the show. I'm starting to
- 58:30Speaker 1: wonder if there's visa issues going on. Supposedly there's visa
- 58:34Speaker 1: issues affecting WWE right now, and so I'm wondering if
- 58:37Speaker 1: it's affecting AW because I agree, but where's the CMLL
- 58:43Speaker 1: representation on this show? Right All the logos are on there.
- 58:48Speaker 1: They've been working more with CMLL talents than New Japan
- 58:51Speaker 1: talents for most of the year, and yet they're not
- 58:54Speaker 1: represented on this pay per view. To me, that just
- 58:57Speaker 1: it's a little odd to me, and it makes me
- 58:59Speaker 1: one or if they're having visa issues, maybe that's why
- 59:02Speaker 1: we haven't seen hatches. Sarah certainly wasn't there tonight Misfit
- 59:10Speaker 1: Wrestling podcast. I really hope this is the last year
- 59:16Speaker 1: they do the Forbidden Door concept as a pay per view,
- 59:19Speaker 1: because I only have two promotion matches announced for the
- 59:24Speaker 1: show when the show is next weekend. Said, yeah, I mean,
- 59:30Speaker 1: it just feels very thrown together, and it's not the
- 59:34Speaker 1: first time it's felt that way. It kind of happens
- 59:36Speaker 1: every year, but it feels more noticeable this year, so
- 59:41Speaker 1: I don't disagree. Bobert reviews again for that thirty dollars mento,
- 59:45Speaker 1: super Chat, I shall give you another airhorn. No message,
- 59:49Speaker 1: just showing some love. Love that super chat Spanish Gottish.
- 59:54Speaker 1: I can't believe I bought tickets for this lackluster for
- 59:57Speaker 1: so you're going to the pay per view? Oh no,
- 59:59Speaker 1: wonder he's upset now It makes sense why he's so upset.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: He spent money on ticket. Look, you're still going to
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: get a great wrestling show. But I agree you have
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: every right to feel that way. You're not wrong. It
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: is very lackluster. We have JD. Ham Solo. Tell me
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: you haven't also been chasing the high of dynamite from
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: two weeks ago. I almost felt guilty watching the Knicks
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: game instead of that episode. Is that the episode that
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: I thought was really good? Yeah? I mean that was
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: a really good episode, and then they followed it up
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: with one that was not And then we had this
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: week's episode, which was somewhere in the middle. GMB. Is
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: it true that the Mets season ends when the Major
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: League Baseball season starts? According to Family Guy, the answer
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: is yes, that is correct. As soon as you hear
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: the crack of the bat and the season's over. The
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: Pats Number one fan thoughts on when Brett won the
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: US title in twenty ten. Yeah, he beat miss for it.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: I just remember as soon as he won, he was
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: all excited and he went to go climb the ropes
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: and he slipped, but Natty was there and she kind
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: of caught him, So I thought that was kind of funny. Look,
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: it was a nice moment for Brett to put a
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: belt on him, and it was just a ceremonial thing.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: He basically, you know, gave it up after that. I
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: didn't care to see Brett in the ring during that run.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: I hope it was cleansing for his soul at least,
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: and he got something out of it instead of Montreal
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: being the last time that he was ever in the
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: ring for them. I guess that was kind of cool.
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: But this was not the same Brett Hart. You know,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: in a way, I almost hated seeing him like that.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: But if he was out there having fun and it
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: didn't last for too long, you know, but he was
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: able to get back in the ring, and again there
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: were rules against people hitting him in the head. There
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: were things that he was obviously limited in what he
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: could do. I just you know, I wasn't I was
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: a fan of seeing him back. I just wasn't a
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: fan of seeing him back in the ring outside of
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: maybe a couple of matches. I mean, when he was
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: in there with the against the Nexus, he was part
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: of like a big ten man tag. I mean, that's fine,
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: but I just wasn't really I wasn't really a fan
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: of that that run. This week's episode is sponsored by Wicks.

- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Bread work as old school attractions vers is the new
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: generation wrestling? Would Brett give Andre the best match of
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: his career? No, I mean you're you're talking about You're
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: talking about Andre at the tail end of his career
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: where he can barely move to like he wasn't mobile,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: he couldn't move. Nobody was giving Andre a great match
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: at that point of his career. I don't care who,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: I don't care if it's dude. It could have been
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Ziggler in there bumping his ass off. It could be
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: you could will Osprey in there. You can put ninety
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: six Seawn Michaels in there. Okay, you could kent Ta Kobashi,
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: pick your poison. There's nothing you could do at that
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: point with that version of Andre, No one was gonna
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: get a great match out of him. I don't care
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: who you are, not even Brett uh Leo. Honest question.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: Am I delusional for thinking that Keana James is going
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: to be a future world champion? I don't think you're delusional.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance that'll happen at
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: some point. Also, I've noticed Keana and Roxanne Perez are
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: booked pretty similarly in terms of their wins and losses. Really,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't noticed anything. I've noticed Roxanne has
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: won a match on TV since December. I noticed that.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: But I think the potential for Kana to be a
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: world champion on either show is that it's not something
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: that's going to happen this year. But I do think
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: the potential is therefore down the road. A lot of
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: it depends on her development. Again, there's no house shows,
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: So she's not working that much and that's a negative,
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: that's a bad thing. She's at a point in her
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: career right now where she needs to be in the
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: ring multiple times a week. And I don't just mean
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: it the PC. You know, that's very different than being
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: in front of a live audience on the road. She
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: and a lot of these other women, a lot of
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: these other wrestlers are just not They're not getting that,
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: and so it's kind of like trial by fire on TV.
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: The problem is she's barely the ring on TV. How
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: are you supposed to improve and get better if you're
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: not getting that ring time in front of a live crap?
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: And that is the drawback of scaling back so much
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: on the live events. There has to be a happy
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: medium there. So I think it's going to take a while.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: But I don't think you're crazy for thinking that anyway.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Thank you guys. We came very close to four hundred likes,
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: but the Wheel had other plans for us tonight. The
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: Wheel said five point fifty you don't like it, tough shit,
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: and that just wasn't going to happen tonight. So we
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: will try again next time on Friday. I will be
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: in Chicago calling House of Glory, Big Inferno event coming
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: up in Logan Square Auditorium. Got some big matches on
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: that show. Possibly the next TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Yes,
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: Nick Nemeth, He's going to be challenging for the Hog
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: World Championship against Charles Mason, Ricky Sosa. We finally got him.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: He's coming in to make his debut. He's gonna be
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: taking on the amazing Red Shatzi and Steph Delander. I mean,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: there's a bunch of great matches on it, most of
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Ali defending the TNA International title on a House of
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Glory show against Rich Swan. And of course Ali is
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: from Chicago, so he's gonna be the hometown favorite. It's
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: gonna be a fun night. Hog Wrestling dot Net for tickets.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: I don't know how many are even left, but go
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: check and see if there are any left. It's gonna
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. If not, you can watch
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: it on Triller TV. But I will not be here
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: for SmackDown, so I will see you for the sound
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: off episode nine six eight, which is coming up. Hey,
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: Brian Garcia, welcome to the channel. Welcome brother. You can
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: go back and watch the review from the beginning and
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: all the other content. I hope you enjoy your stay.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: But yeah, the next time I'm live here will be
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: Monday night for the raw Post show. We'll try again.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: That's all we can do, would be the Booker man.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: We just we'll try again and see if we hit
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: the goal. Joseph is back. Just when I thought he
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: was gone, he came back. Look at this, I'm back,
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: solemn monster. I have a question why didn't Sting go
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: back to surfer Sting in late ninety nine like Hogan
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: went back to the Red and Yellow. It's a fair
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: question because at that point, see, when I think of
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: Surfer Sting, I think of the flat Top, and the
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: flat Top was not coming back that he was still
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: kind of surfer Sting for a while when he grew
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: his hair out like in ninety five the Sting gimmick.
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: Why would you change from that? Right that he was
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: one of the coolest characters in the entire company, whether
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: it was the Black and White Crow, whether it was
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: the Black and Red when he was with the wolf Pack,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: I think it would have been foolish for him to
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: change and go back to it. Hogan was going to
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: milk the red and yellow as long as he could.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: You know, he would get away from it then go
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: back to it. So that doesn't surprise me. But no,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: belly me, nobody at that point was really clamoring for
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: the return of Surfer Sting because this version of Sting
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: was cool, you know, why would you change away from it? Also,
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: was Sting a bigger draw than Goldberg? No? No, at
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: his peak Goldberg as white hot as he was. I
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: mean he had a shorter run than Sting did. I
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: highly doubt Sting was a bigger draw than Goldberg at
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: his peak. But Joseph, thank you, thank you for the
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: final questions. Ah, yes, Ricky, thank you for bringing that up.
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: So I mentioned Raw next Monday. Raw is airing earlier again,
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: they're in London. They're in London before AW is in
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: London in August wwe is in London, and so that's
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: going to be a two pm Eastern start for RAW.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: So be aware of that because I'm pretty sure I'm
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: going to do what I did last time, which is
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: go live right after. So RAW goes what two pm
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: to four thirty ish, probably five o'clock next Monday. We'll
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: do an early stream. So if you want to join
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: live be here early. I think after that we're back
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: to normal. I think the schedule basically is back to
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: normal after that. I could be wrong, but I think
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: I think the international tour is basically over after that.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: But thank you for reminding me anyway. Be well, stay safe,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: Thank you for hanging out with me here on a
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: Wednesday night, and keep supporting all the content. Go check

- 1:11:06Speaker 1: people who had never heard of the sound. Though they
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: never heard of me before, this was their first exposure
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: to me, and now they say they're hooked. It's their

- 1:11:31Speaker 1: with the Uzbekistan Colombia game. Let me see here. Ooh,
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: Colombia is doing well. I have been to Colombia. I've
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: never been to Uzbekistan. I don't think I ever will,
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: but I have been to Colombia. I left a piece
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: of myself in Colombia, if you remember that story anyway.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: Enjoy the World Cup and I'll see you Becker on
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: the channel very soon and this weekend for a brand
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: new sounduff. Until then, take care, guys O.
