Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / AEW Dynamite 6/3/26 Review | Mercedes Mone RETURNS And An Absolutely WILD Main Event!
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: So now, guys, it is a Wednesday night. My eyes
- 0:04Speaker 1: are just glued to the TV. So that's why I'm
- 0:08Speaker 1: a little bit late here because the game I know
- 0:11Speaker 1: is in the closing moments, very exciting Game two. It's
- 0:16Speaker 1: Game one. That's not what I don't mean Game two,
- 0:18Speaker 1: but poor Dynamite up against Game one of the NBA Finals,
- 0:23Speaker 1: which has turned into a hell of a game. I'll
- 0:25Speaker 1: tell you what Dynamite though turned into. It turned into
- 0:28Speaker 1: a hell of a show here tonight. It was a wild,
- 0:34Speaker 1: wildly overbooked main event that we got in the Owen
- 0:39Speaker 1: Heart Foundation Tournament with will Osbury going one on one
- 0:43Speaker 1: with Mark Davis. And when I say overbooked, I lost
- 0:48Speaker 1: count of how many people ran in to interfere in
- 0:51Speaker 1: that match and the multiple ref bumps at everything else.
- 0:54Speaker 1: You would think this was WrestleMania forty. This was WrestleMania
- 0:57Speaker 1: forty levels of overbooking. If Wrestle forty had about five
- 1:01Speaker 1: or six more people who decided to run in during
- 1:04Speaker 1: the match. And I gotta tell you, I kind of
- 1:07Speaker 1: loved it. I kind of loved it. And the people
- 1:10Speaker 1: in the building, I don't know where they were to,
- 1:12Speaker 1: but the people in the building were losing their minds.
- 1:14Speaker 1: They were losing their fricking mind for these two guys.
- 1:18Speaker 1: But in the end, it was the outcome that you
- 1:21Speaker 1: just had to expect coming into it. Will Osprey is
- 1:24Speaker 1: going to the finals of the Owenhart Foundation Tournament. He
- 1:28Speaker 1: has bested Samoa Joe, he has bested Mark Davis and
- 1:33Speaker 1: now he will meet either Swerve Strickland or Brody King.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland being the one who makes the most sense,
- 1:41Speaker 1: especially given the history these two guys have at that event.
- 1:44Speaker 1: They had a great match two years ago that Swerve
- 1:47Speaker 1: came out on the winning end of I suspect that'll
- 1:50Speaker 1: be a little bit different this time around. So yeah,
- 1:53Speaker 1: of course it was a predictable outcome, but it turned
- 1:56Speaker 1: into a hell of a main event. And this is
- 1:58Speaker 1: the second week in a row now that we have
- 2:00Speaker 1: gotten a Mark Davis main event on Dynamite, and I'm
- 2:04Speaker 1: here for it. The guy goes out there, he has
- 2:07Speaker 1: killer matches. Tonight was no different. That match was freaking
- 2:12Speaker 1: crazy there by the end. Again, I know there was
- 2:14Speaker 1: a lot going on, but you have the death Riders
- 2:17Speaker 1: running in defend off the don Kallis family, the Callous family,
- 2:20Speaker 1: fighting back against the death Riders. It was insanity at
- 2:25Speaker 1: the end of Dynamite. I don't know that it needed
- 2:27Speaker 1: to go fifteen minutes overtime, but we had a fifteen
- 2:29Speaker 1: minute overrun with tonight's show. So Osprey advances in the Owen.
- 2:33Speaker 1: He is not the only person who moved on in
- 2:36Speaker 1: the Owen Heart Tournament tonight, because tonight we had to
- 2:38Speaker 1: find out who the wild card was going to be
- 2:42Speaker 1: against Alex Windsor. Because Willow Nightingale got hurt, she had
- 2:46Speaker 1: to vacate her TBS championship, which I'm going to talk
- 2:49Speaker 1: about that actually in a moment, and she had to
- 2:51Speaker 1: pull out of the Owen. Now, originally it was going
- 2:55Speaker 1: to be Willow and Alex windsor a double or nothing.
- 2:57Speaker 1: And the fact that they decided to not do that
- 2:59Speaker 1: match and they did Athena against Mina Shirakawa instead. The
- 3:03Speaker 1: one thing I said was, well, can't be Mercedes Monette,
- 3:07Speaker 1: because if it was gonna be the big return of
- 3:09Speaker 1: Mercedes Monet, surely they would do it at double or nothing.
- 3:12Speaker 1: We haven't seen this woman on television since New Year's Eve.
- 3:16Speaker 1: The fact that they didn't do the match on the
- 3:17Speaker 1: pay per view told me, well, it'll probably be somebody
- 3:21Speaker 1: else that doesn't have the kind of name that she does. Well,
- 3:24Speaker 1: I'll be damned, But tonight, lo and behold, guess who
- 3:27Speaker 1: showed up. Guess who made her return tonight to AW television.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Mercedes Monette. She came out to enter herself into the
- 3:37Speaker 1: Owenhart Tournament. Now the second year in a row. She
- 3:40Speaker 1: won the tournament last year. I think we all see
- 3:43Speaker 1: where she's headed to this year. She is moving on
- 3:47Speaker 1: to the next round. She is going to be wrestling
- 3:50Speaker 1: the winner of the match coming up between Persephone and Hazuki,
- 3:54Speaker 1: which I believe is happening on Collision this weekend. So
- 3:58Speaker 1: that was a little confusing me. I don't know if
- 4:01Speaker 1: the plan was for her to come back in this match.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I don't know why they would not have done it
- 4:06Speaker 1: in New York in front of that crowd on that
- 4:09Speaker 1: pay per view. That's a little confusing to me. But
- 4:13Speaker 1: we have those two names that are moving on in
- 4:15Speaker 1: the tournament. Meanwhile, MJF defended his AW World championship against
- 4:20Speaker 1: Rusche and Mark Briscoe made it very clear that he
- 4:24Speaker 1: is coming for MJF and that AW World Championship. He
- 4:28Speaker 1: cut a hell of a promo tonight, a very serious
- 4:32Speaker 1: promo which was a little jarring because he's out there
- 4:35Speaker 1: doing redneck kung fu and wrestling Leo Rush, who's doing
- 4:38Speaker 1: this blackheart gimmick. And we go from that to again
- 4:42Speaker 1: what was a very serious post match promo, but one
- 4:45Speaker 1: that I thought was very effective and very good. I
- 4:49Speaker 1: don't know that I see that as the aw World
- 4:52Speaker 1: title match for Forbidden Door, even though it looks like
- 4:54Speaker 1: we're probably headed in that direction. But again, hell of
- 4:59Speaker 1: a promo that we will talk about a little bit
- 5:01Speaker 1: later on. And Kevin Knight, he defended his TNT title
- 5:07Speaker 1: against his now former partners Speedball Mike Bailey, but not
- 5:13Speaker 1: before joining the Don Callus family. Oh yes, oh yes,
- 5:21Speaker 1: because if you thought that Takeshta leaving the family was
- 5:25Speaker 1: going to mean there were one man down, we can't
- 5:29Speaker 1: have that. We have to replace him. We have to
- 5:32Speaker 1: have there's a certain number of Callous family members. It's
- 5:35Speaker 1: like a quota that you have to fill. You can't
- 5:38Speaker 1: drop below that number. You're not allowed to. They're contractually
- 5:42Speaker 1: obligated to stay at a certain number. Fuck if I
- 5:45Speaker 1: know what that number is at this point. But yes,
- 5:48Speaker 1: the one thing that the don Kallis Family needed more
- 5:50Speaker 1: of is yet another member, and that member is Kevin Knight. Now,
- 5:55Speaker 1: having said all of that, as ridiculous as it is
- 5:58Speaker 1: that we're still adding members to this fucking faction, it's
- 6:03Speaker 1: not all it's not all bad. It's not at least
- 6:07Speaker 1: not for Kevin Knight. Maybe for the other members of
- 6:09Speaker 1: the don Kallis family who were a little below him,
- 6:12Speaker 1: but for Kevin Knight. Look, at the end of the day,
- 6:15Speaker 1: it's very clear that Tony Kah loves Kevin Knight and
- 6:18Speaker 1: he's gonna push Kevin Knight. So whether Kevin Knight has
- 6:21Speaker 1: Don Kallus in his corner, whether he has nobody in
- 6:24Speaker 1: his corner, if he would have joined the Hurt Syndicate,
- 6:27Speaker 1: if they would have had him doing any number of things,
- 6:30Speaker 1: Kevin Knight is in for a big push here in
- 6:32Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, no matter what. So if you're a
- 6:35Speaker 1: Kevin Knight fan, it's not like, oh my god, he's
- 6:38Speaker 1: gonna get lost in the shuffle. I'm not worried about
- 6:40Speaker 1: him getting lost in the shovel. If I were one
- 6:43Speaker 1: of the lesser members of this group, I would be
- 6:45Speaker 1: a little concerned, But if I were Kevin Knight. It's
- 6:49Speaker 1: not as if it's gonna harm him. It's just ludicrous
- 6:52Speaker 1: that we continue to add people and yet we're not
- 6:55Speaker 1: subtracting enough at the same time. It'd be one thing
- 6:58Speaker 1: if we were shedding members. It's almost like a turnover,
- 7:02Speaker 1: you know. There's like a certain turnover that happens every
- 7:04Speaker 1: few months. They lose three guys, they gain three more.
- 7:07Speaker 1: It's not even that they're just adding and adding and adding.
- 7:12Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. They keep multiplying, they keep multiplying. There was
- 7:19Speaker 1: a very funny moment tonight that with Don kallis very embarrassing,
- 7:23Speaker 1: but very funny, that we'll talk about. I thought this
- 7:27Speaker 1: was a very good show tonight. There was a lot
- 7:30Speaker 1: going on. There was some really good wrestling. We'll talk
- 7:33Speaker 1: about it. We had quite the night last Wednesday here
- 7:36Speaker 1: on the stream, especially with that five hundred dollars bomb
- 7:40Speaker 1: that we got from KB Good. I don't think it's
- 7:42Speaker 1: going to be quite that crazy tonight, but hey, you
- 7:44Speaker 1: never know. This is the aw Dynamite review. Here. It
- 7:48Speaker 1: is Wednesday, it is June third, it is twenty twenty six.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I am a solid monster. Let me do a very
- 7:55Speaker 1: quick check of where we are in this game. Oh
- 7:58Speaker 1: my goodness, a little over a minute left and the
- 8:03Speaker 1: Knicks are up by three. This is a hell of
- 8:06Speaker 1: a game, I gotta say. You know, the backstage of Dynamite,
- 8:10Speaker 1: there was a monitor or something that was on and
- 8:12Speaker 1: they were all crowded around it watching this game tonight. Anyway,
- 8:18Speaker 1: hit that like button, Hit that subscribe button. Super chats
- 8:21Speaker 1: are open. I'll be reading your messages as I always do.
- 8:24Speaker 1: I know we got a bunch of them that came
- 8:25Speaker 1: in earlier, and I appreciate that. But we got to
- 8:28Speaker 1: spin the wheel. We got some business to transact here.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Before we go any further, we must find out what
- 8:36Speaker 1: our goal for tonight is with the likes. Le's find out, spin, Spin,
- 8:43Speaker 1: Spin three point fifty. Okay, that's a little more reasonable
- 8:50Speaker 1: than what we had the other night. But we're to
- 8:53Speaker 1: twelve right now, two hundred and twelve likes, so let's see.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see what we can do. Fifty is
- 9:00Speaker 1: the goal. I think that's attainable, but that's gonna be
- 9:07Speaker 1: up to you guys. Oh, it looks like they pulled away.
- 9:12Speaker 1: It looks like they pulled away. It's gonna be a
- 9:14Speaker 1: good day in New York tomorrow. It's gonna be a
- 9:18Speaker 1: good day in New York tomorrow. Man, from what I
- 9:21Speaker 1: saw this, this this game was a freakin war. But
- 9:25Speaker 1: I said it the other night. I said it last
- 9:27Speaker 1: night actually on TNT Nixon six. That was my pick
- 9:31Speaker 1: Nixon six. Maybe they could wrap it up a little
- 9:34Speaker 1: bit earlier. I guess it depends on what Dan Housen does.
- 9:40Speaker 1: M hmm. Good thing. Dan Housen isn't in AW near
- 9:45Speaker 1: don Kallas. Yeah, we need we need Dan Housen to
- 9:49Speaker 1: curse the don Kallis family. I feel like before Dan
- 9:52Speaker 1: Housen left aw he put a curse on all of
- 9:56Speaker 1: us that we have to be subjected to a constant
- 9:59Speaker 1: stream of new members in the don Kallis family. We
- 10:05Speaker 1: had footage that aired from earlier in the day of
- 10:08Speaker 1: Renee backstage with Rouche and he spoke about finally getting
- 10:12Speaker 1: a title shot, saying he's waited three years for this
- 10:14Speaker 1: and he's willing to die in the ring if that's
- 10:17Speaker 1: what it takes. He says, this is for his people,
- 10:20Speaker 1: this is for his family, this is for pride, and
- 10:26Speaker 1: he'll take the title because when you mess with the bull,
- 10:29Speaker 1: and before he could finish, MJF interrupted and he slapped
- 10:33Speaker 1: him in the face and he said that if he's
- 10:35Speaker 1: the bull, that makes MJF the matador, and Rouche took
- 10:39Speaker 1: him down and they had to be separated. So that
- 10:41Speaker 1: was earlier. So now we're back live in the back
- 10:45Speaker 1: with Renee and Rouche, and she informed him that they
- 10:47Speaker 1: just found out that there would be no countouts in
- 10:51Speaker 1: their match tonight, which is very strange. Right, disqualifications are
- 10:57Speaker 1: are still valid, you can be disco qualified in this match,
- 11:01Speaker 1: but there's no countouts, which I guess was just an
- 11:05Speaker 1: excuse to allow them to fuck around outside the ring
- 11:09Speaker 1: and not get counted out. But it's a little strange
- 11:12Speaker 1: that they would say no countouts only it just kind
- 11:15Speaker 1: of came about very randomly there. So Andrade walked in.
- 11:19Speaker 1: He told Ruche to do this for his family, to
- 11:24Speaker 1: do this for anyone who says that he can be
- 11:27Speaker 1: a world champion. Lies little pep talk that he gave
- 11:29Speaker 1: to Rushe And that led into our opening contest, which
- 11:33Speaker 1: was for the AEW World Championship, MJF defending against Ruche.
- 11:39Speaker 1: And this right here, this right here is why MJF
- 11:44Speaker 1: is in the position that he is in. MJF comes
- 11:47Speaker 1: out and he is dressed like Tito Santana. He comes out,
- 11:53Speaker 1: He's got the cape, he's got the whole, the hat,
- 11:56Speaker 1: you see it right there, the whole get up. He
- 11:59Speaker 1: comes out dressed a Mattador and I laughed, I just
- 12:05Speaker 1: I thought of Santana. Okay, honey bough. So he gets
- 12:13Speaker 1: to the regged, he tells Justin Roberts to tell the
- 12:17Speaker 1: fans that he took out their hometown boy hangman Adam Page,
- 12:22Speaker 1: who can never challenge again for the aw World title.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And also how all the fans put the virgin in Virginia. Well,
- 12:30Speaker 1: I guess that answers my question from before they were
- 12:32Speaker 1: in Virginia. Today, I was like, I don't know where
- 12:37Speaker 1: Dadamite was. It was in the opening probo he mentioned
- 12:40Speaker 1: it fuck in Virginia, So the fans didn't like that
- 12:44Speaker 1: very much. Now Rouche he landed a somersault dive out
- 12:48Speaker 1: to the floor early in the match. He ended up
- 12:51Speaker 1: choking MJF with a camera cord before Bryce Remsburg reminded
- 12:55Speaker 1: him it's no count out, not no disqualification. So that
- 13:00Speaker 1: little delay, though, allowed MJF to gain the upper hand
- 13:03Speaker 1: when he charged Rusche, though, he got taken over the
- 13:06Speaker 1: timekeeper's barricade with an overhead throw and he kind of
- 13:10Speaker 1: landed on and bounced off the table that was sitting
- 13:13Speaker 1: there on the other side of the barricade. So back
- 13:16Speaker 1: inside the ring, Ruche ripped off one of the top
- 13:20Speaker 1: turn buckle pads. He went for the bulls horns. MJF, though,
- 13:24Speaker 1: went to the apron to avoid it. So Ruche went
- 13:26Speaker 1: to run MJF into the exposed buckle. Remsburg stood in
- 13:31Speaker 1: the way to stop him from doing so. MJF shoved
- 13:34Speaker 1: Remsbury out of the way and then he slammed Rushe's
- 13:36Speaker 1: head into the steel buckle instead, which opened him up,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and so Rushne was bleeding from the forehead. MJF got
- 13:43Speaker 1: the salt of the earth armbar applied. Rushe though, broke
- 13:45Speaker 1: the hold and he had a pile driver on the
- 13:48Speaker 1: apron that took us into a break. So rush goes
- 13:52Speaker 1: over outside the ring and now both guys are suffering.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Rush's favoring his arm and MJF is hurting, and the doctor,
- 13:59Speaker 1: the rings doctor is conferring with the referee and they're
- 14:04Speaker 1: talking to Justin Roberts about how both men are just
- 14:07Speaker 1: they're not in a condition to continue in this match,
- 14:11Speaker 1: which is bullshit. Of course it's a fucking World championship match,
- 14:15Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is kind of weak, but that's
- 14:18Speaker 1: what they're telling justin Roberts. And before he can make
- 14:21Speaker 1: any kind of announcement about stopping the match, Rush goes over.
- 14:25Speaker 1: He head butts the doctor. He gave the ringside doctor
- 14:30Speaker 1: a head butt, apparently, so the match continued. The match
- 14:35Speaker 1: went on because apparently there's no other doctors in the building.
- 14:37Speaker 1: The one doctor got you know, laid out, and so shit, well,
- 14:41Speaker 1: I guess this match must continue. So Ruch hit the
- 14:45Speaker 1: bulls horns and he covered MJF, who'll put his hand
- 14:48Speaker 1: on the bottom rope. At the very last minute, Rushe
- 14:51Speaker 1: went for another pile driver on the apron. MJF, though
- 14:53Speaker 1: avoided it, and rushe was selling his left arm. He
- 14:56Speaker 1: went for the bulls horns on the floor. MJF moved,
- 15:00Speaker 1: He hit the barricade and in doing so he just
- 15:05Speaker 1: basically went right through it, knocked it over into the crowd.
- 15:09Speaker 1: MJF then picked him up. He gave him a tombstone
- 15:11Speaker 1: pile driver on the piece of barricade or barrier that
- 15:14Speaker 1: was laying there on the floor dumped him on his head,
- 15:18Speaker 1: so back inside, MJF avoided a missile dropkick, got Rush
- 15:22Speaker 1: in the labell lock, and Rouche was trapped. But he
- 15:25Speaker 1: kind of tilted his head to look up at MJF
- 15:28Speaker 1: and he stuck his tongue out, and MJF had a
- 15:31Speaker 1: look on his face like he couldn't believe it. And
- 15:34Speaker 1: then he flips MJF off with his one free hand,
- 15:37Speaker 1: but then he starts to fade, and then eventually Rush
- 15:39Speaker 1: goes out and the referee calls for the stoppage. You know,
- 15:43Speaker 1: as great as a lot of those Darby Allen title
- 15:46Speaker 1: defenses ended up being, because there were a lot of
- 15:48Speaker 1: really good title matches that he had on Dynamite when
- 15:50Speaker 1: he was running himself ragged every single week defending that belt.
- 15:55Speaker 1: As good as many of those matches were, I would
- 15:59Speaker 1: put this one up there with maybe not all of them.
- 16:01Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was better than all of those,
- 16:04Speaker 1: but I would put this up there with many of
- 16:05Speaker 1: those matches. This is a very good match, really good
- 16:08Speaker 1: stuff here, the biggest match of Rushe's aw runs so
- 16:13Speaker 1: far since you joined the company, and he had the
- 16:15Speaker 1: crowds solidly behind him. And again it's a combination of
- 16:18Speaker 1: people I think, liking Rusche but also just don't you know,
- 16:21Speaker 1: disliking MJF. When you're a good heal, you want people
- 16:25Speaker 1: to be invested in the other person beating you and
- 16:28Speaker 1: taking the title. Ruche is not the strongest challenger in
- 16:31Speaker 1: the company. I mean, the guys that he's been beating
- 16:33Speaker 1: on TV to build up this wind streak that they
- 16:35Speaker 1: talked about are a bunch of scrubs. It's no one
- 16:39Speaker 1: of any notoriety. But he beat like five, six, seven
- 16:43Speaker 1: people in a row, and then he won that four
- 16:45Speaker 1: way match last week, and all of a sudden, he's
- 16:47Speaker 1: challenging for the world championship. So it's not like he
- 16:50Speaker 1: was built up in some super strong way. But it's again,
- 16:53Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with the fact
- 16:54Speaker 1: that MJF. He knows how to get heat, he knows
- 16:56Speaker 1: what he's doing right. He's very hateable, and so the
- 16:59Speaker 1: people A they want to see a title change, and
- 17:01Speaker 1: B they want to see him lose the belt, and
- 17:04Speaker 1: so it makes for a fun atmosphere. Now, after the match,
- 17:08Speaker 1: MJF was about to hit Roushe with the belt. When
- 17:11Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe ran out and Brisco he ducked a belt
- 17:15Speaker 1: shot he got him hooked for a jay driller MJF
- 17:18Speaker 1: got out of it. He kicked brisco and the balls.
- 17:20Speaker 1: He was setting up to hit brisco with the championship
- 17:23Speaker 1: until he spotted Orange Cassidy, tomohiro E, she Roderick Strong
- 17:28Speaker 1: and Kyle O'Reilly running out, and so he bailed and
- 17:31Speaker 1: that was the end of that. Now, Mark brisco he
- 17:35Speaker 1: stuck around because after the commercial break he went one
- 17:39Speaker 1: on one with the Blackheart, Leo Rush. Now as Leo
- 17:46Speaker 1: was making his entrance, Orange Cassidy and the other members
- 17:49Speaker 1: of the conglomeration were leaving, but they stopped in their
- 17:52Speaker 1: tracks and they froze. Remember how back if you were
- 17:56Speaker 1: a fan of Saved by the Bell, back in the day,
- 17:58Speaker 1: those of you old enough to remember Saved by the Bell,
- 18:02Speaker 1: and how in the middle of an episode, like Zach
- 18:05Speaker 1: would like snap his fingers and everybody would freeze, and
- 18:10Speaker 1: then he would just look at the camera and address
- 18:12Speaker 1: us the audience. Right, I love it when people just
- 18:17Speaker 1: sort of freeze, They're just frozen in place. What they
- 18:21Speaker 1: did here was I guess this is kind of the
- 18:24Speaker 1: new thing now where if you don't move the creature
- 18:28Speaker 1: within Leo rush, I guess he won't recognize that, you know,
- 18:33Speaker 1: you're standing there until he'll ignore you and he'll just
- 18:37Speaker 1: leave you alone and keep walking. So you don't want
- 18:39Speaker 1: to move a muscle, right, I guess that's the idea
- 18:41Speaker 1: behind him. And as soon as he kind of cause
- 18:44Speaker 1: he walked, he kind of crawled past them. They started
- 18:48Speaker 1: moving again, but then he turned around to look and
- 18:51Speaker 1: so they froze again. So basically this was this was
- 18:54Speaker 1: like squid game where they're playing red light, green light,
- 18:57Speaker 1: and then finally once the coast was clear, they fucking
- 19:00Speaker 1: high tailed it to the back. So I yes, exactly,
- 19:03Speaker 1: just like the t Rex from Jurassic Park. Yes, that's
- 19:08Speaker 1: exactly what it's like. Wow, they won by ten and
- 19:14Speaker 1: they really ran it up there a little bit at
- 19:15Speaker 1: the end. Huh. Well, congrats, congrats to all the Knicks
- 19:20Speaker 1: fans out there. I already hear some some fireworks outside
- 19:24Speaker 1: my window. What is that like eleven? Now? Is that
- 19:26Speaker 1: eleven or twelve? I think that's twelve in a row?
- 19:30Speaker 1: Telling you man, the curse is real. Curse has extended
- 19:33Speaker 1: now it's extended from the caves to the spurs. That's crazy. Yes,
- 19:41Speaker 1: red light, green light. Have you not seen squid Game?
- 19:46Speaker 1: That's exactly what they did here. Anyway, this is this
- 19:50Speaker 1: match here Brisco Leo Rush. It was fun enough with Leo.
- 19:54Speaker 1: He was doing all of his usual high jinks. I've
- 19:56Speaker 1: talked about this gimmick. I like it is it? Is
- 19:59Speaker 1: it ridiculous? Is it silly? Is a goofy Shore? I
- 20:03Speaker 1: mean he plays it well. I don't know. I feel
- 20:05Speaker 1: like the show could use stuff like this. It's so
- 20:10Speaker 1: unlike anything that you would normally see on an episode
- 20:13Speaker 1: of Dynamite. Like when they first started featuring him on
- 20:16Speaker 1: the show, I was kind of hoping, like, look, hopefully
- 20:19Speaker 1: this can be a regular thing where you get him
- 20:21Speaker 1: multiple appearances on these shows. The one thing I will
- 20:24Speaker 1: say is that I think they need to do more
- 20:25Speaker 1: of I'm not saying fill the show with Leo Rush segments,
- 20:29Speaker 1: but it would be nice to feature him and maybe
- 20:33Speaker 1: in some backstage stuff now instead of just him coming
- 20:36Speaker 1: to the ring and you know, kneeling in the corner
- 20:38Speaker 1: and mumbling to himself if you want to, you know, again,
- 20:42Speaker 1: try to flesh this out a little bit more or
- 20:45Speaker 1: try to better understand exactly what's going on here and
- 20:49Speaker 1: have other people in the back like he's trying to
- 20:52Speaker 1: interact with them and they're all freaked out. I still
- 20:55Speaker 1: think there's more potential to explore things with this character,
- 21:00Speaker 1: So I'm glad that Tony is at least trying to
- 21:02Speaker 1: give him some consistent time here on this show. He
- 21:06Speaker 1: doesn't win, but then again, I used to say that
- 21:08Speaker 1: about Mark Davis. There's hope. I don't have a lot
- 21:13Speaker 1: of hope, but there is hope that at some point
- 21:14Speaker 1: maybe this thing will catch on a little bit better
- 21:17Speaker 1: and he could start to win some matches. The problem is, again,
- 21:20Speaker 1: he's not He's not a big guy, and so they're
- 21:23Speaker 1: not going to have him in there beating guys that
- 21:25Speaker 1: are that are twice his size, you know, unless he's
- 21:29Speaker 1: gonna push him and give him some sort of push
- 21:30Speaker 1: to a title. But that's not something I would be doing,
- 21:33Speaker 1: not right now. The key, though, I think, is just
- 21:36Speaker 1: to feature him consistently and maybe we could learn a
- 21:38Speaker 1: little bit more about what the fuck is going on here,
- 21:41Speaker 1: because every week you kind of sit around wondering like
- 21:43Speaker 1: we ever going to get an explanation for why he
- 21:45Speaker 1: is the way he is hasn't happened yet. Brisco beat
- 21:50Speaker 1: him though, beat him with a cutthroat driver. This was
- 21:55Speaker 1: really more important to get Briscoe out there so he
- 21:59Speaker 1: could cut the postmatch promo, which was really the important
- 22:03Speaker 1: part of this here. So there was a cameraman in
- 22:06Speaker 1: the ring. He wasn't looking at the hard cam, but
- 22:08Speaker 1: we had a cameraman in the ring, and so he
- 22:10Speaker 1: was looking dead into the camera. Hey, he goes. He
- 22:15Speaker 1: wanted to address one man, and that man is MJF.
- 22:19Speaker 1: He wants to take us back to January of twenty
- 22:22Speaker 1: twenty three. That was that was the day that that
- 22:30Speaker 1: pre mode was activated. I believe it was a Tuesday.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Venom Catetsu, thank you for the twenty five dollars pre
- 22:42Speaker 1: mode said Dad had back surgery, so took the day
- 22:48Speaker 1: off to get him home and run errands after being discharged.
- 22:53Speaker 1: So a rare Wednesday off of work. I thought I
- 22:56Speaker 1: would check out the sicko crowd and help with the
- 23:00Speaker 1: be the booker progress. I appreciate that. I hope your
- 23:03Speaker 1: dad's doing well. Hopefully he recovers quickly. I'm actually going
- 23:10Speaker 1: in for something tomorrow, something minor tomorrow. They have to
- 23:14Speaker 1: put me out for it, though. I love how they
- 23:16Speaker 1: won't let you home unless you have a chaperone. I'm like,
- 23:20Speaker 1: is this really necessary? And they're like, yes, you're going
- 23:23Speaker 1: to be under anesthesia, You're gonna wake up, You're not
- 23:26Speaker 1: allowed to drive. You have to have somebody here. So anyway,
- 23:30Speaker 1: that's where I'll be tomorrow. I'll be going under for
- 23:34Speaker 1: a procedure. But anyway, I wish your dad the best.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Hopefully he heals quickly, but he wants to take us
- 23:42Speaker 1: back to January of twenty twenty three, when his brother
- 23:45Speaker 1: Jay was taken from us. He goes just like that.
- 23:50Speaker 1: One day later it was Mark's birthday. One week later
- 23:54Speaker 1: was what would have been Jay's birthday, and instead of
- 23:59Speaker 1: celebrating to get like they always used to do and
- 24:02Speaker 1: eating birthday Cake said that he was in the ring
- 24:07Speaker 1: making his debut in aaw but he was making his
- 24:10Speaker 1: debut alone, right because, I mean, these two guys had
- 24:15Speaker 1: been together in the ring together for twenty years, so
- 24:19Speaker 1: it was a very strange feeling for him to be
- 24:21Speaker 1: out there all by himself, and you can only imagine
- 24:27Speaker 1: the whirlwind of emotions. He said, He's got all this
- 24:29Speaker 1: anger and rage, he has to kind of push it
- 24:32Speaker 1: down and keep it there. AW may have saved his life, says,
- 24:37Speaker 1: that's his therapy. That's how he got his anger out.
- 24:40Speaker 1: But down at his core, he couldn't find any joy.
- 24:43Speaker 1: And then he found some friends who were down to
- 24:45Speaker 1: conglomerate and he said that his heart was full again.
- 24:49Speaker 1: And then he crossed paths with MJF, and week by week,
- 24:55Speaker 1: slowly but surely, with all the bullshit that was coming
- 24:58Speaker 1: out of mjf's mouth, the rage and the anger returned.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And he says he's never hated a man as much
- 25:04Speaker 1: as he hates MJF. And you know what happened when
- 25:07Speaker 1: I got my hands on you, he said, I pined
- 25:09Speaker 1: your bloody ass in the middle of the ring, and
- 25:12Speaker 1: then you went away, and it felt good because I
- 25:15Speaker 1: was able to breathe again. But your ugly ass came
- 25:17Speaker 1: back and the rage all came back. But now you
- 25:20Speaker 1: have something that I want, that's the AW world title.
- 25:26Speaker 1: And I'm not like you. I don't bitch and complain
- 25:28Speaker 1: because I'm a grinder. I come to work and I
- 25:31Speaker 1: do what I'm supposed to do. And so he's calling
- 25:34Speaker 1: out mjf's manhood. He goes, Max, I'm calling you out.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Feels like I've got some demons on me. He goes,
- 25:41Speaker 1: isn't that fitting devil? And he pointed out he's got
- 25:45Speaker 1: some Hebrew letters tattooed. Mark does on his it's like
- 25:50Speaker 1: his upper chest and he says the letter tattoo says
- 25:55Speaker 1: child of God. And he doesn't know if Max read
- 25:58Speaker 1: the book or not. But the devil loses. He says, now,
- 26:01Speaker 1: stop being a moist ass bitch and give me a
- 26:04Speaker 1: title shot. And that was his closing mic drop moment. There.
- 26:10Speaker 1: I thought he killed it with this promo. This was great.
- 26:13Speaker 1: This was just a great serious promo. Again. You know,
- 26:17Speaker 1: Mark Briscow goes out there, he's all, you know, happy
- 26:20Speaker 1: and trying to have fun and acting all goofy. That's
- 26:23Speaker 1: not what this was. Now. It was very clear last
- 26:25Speaker 1: week they were going to be setting him up for
- 26:28Speaker 1: a title match at some point with MJF. This was
- 26:31Speaker 1: the promo to really drive it home as something serious.
- 26:35Speaker 1: This is not just another match to him, right, this
- 26:37Speaker 1: is personal and here's why. Right, he let everybody know,
- 26:41Speaker 1: this is why I hate this man. All the comments
- 26:44Speaker 1: that MJF made during their feud, and he would bring
- 26:46Speaker 1: up Jay, you would invoke his name and his back
- 26:49Speaker 1: before they had their Tables and Tax match last year,
- 26:53Speaker 1: which Mark won, which I pointed out last week. At
- 26:57Speaker 1: least there you have a reason why Mark Brisko would
- 27:00Speaker 1: want a title shot, right, I beat you. I know
- 27:02Speaker 1: I can beat you now. You didn't have the belt
- 27:05Speaker 1: back then, but now you do, and so I want it.
- 27:08Speaker 1: It's a very simple story. Now, it's not ideal because
- 27:11Speaker 1: these guys were feuding a fucking year ago, right nine
- 27:13Speaker 1: months ago. All this time has gone by. Mjf went
- 27:19Speaker 1: away for a little bit, Briscoe went away a little
- 27:21Speaker 1: bit earlier this year. I think it might have been
- 27:23Speaker 1: a storyline injury thing, as I recall. So that's not
- 27:27Speaker 1: ideal having all of this time go by. Kyle O'Reilly.
- 27:30Speaker 1: I pointed this out when o'reiley had that match A
- 27:32Speaker 1: Double or Nothing a couple of weeks ago with John Moxley.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I mean, technically it was a well worked wrestling match.
- 27:40Speaker 1: It was not the most exciting thing in the world,
- 27:42Speaker 1: but it lost a lot of steam that feud because
- 27:45Speaker 1: they were building up Kyle O'Reilly last year and kind
- 27:48Speaker 1: of giving him a little bit of a push where
- 27:50Speaker 1: John Moxley, who was still a heel at the time,
- 27:52Speaker 1: was terrified of getting in the ring with this guy
- 27:55Speaker 1: because he was going to tap out. And the story
- 27:58Speaker 1: they tried to tell it worked. Fans were reacting. They
- 28:01Speaker 1: gave O'Reilly the win right in blood and guts, but
- 28:04Speaker 1: Kyle got hurt and so he went away and then
- 28:07Speaker 1: he came back, and the whole landscape was different because
- 28:10Speaker 1: now I don't know what the fuck the death Riders
- 28:11Speaker 1: are supposed to be. But Moxley is more of a
- 28:15Speaker 1: babyface now than a heel, And all of this time
- 28:18Speaker 1: went by and it just didn't have the same you know,
- 28:21Speaker 1: feeling that it would have had when they were doing
- 28:24Speaker 1: this in the fall last year. It's tough when you
- 28:27Speaker 1: let so much time go by. I thought he did
- 28:30Speaker 1: about as good a job as you could ask for
- 28:31Speaker 1: to try to kind of bring people back into it
- 28:35Speaker 1: if they weren't into it. There's not much more that
- 28:37Speaker 1: he could do or say outside of what he talked
- 28:40Speaker 1: about here in this promo. You're either sold on this
- 28:43Speaker 1: match or not. I'm sold on them doing it, I'm
- 28:46Speaker 1: not sold on it as like a forbidden door title match.
- 28:50Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to see something different. I can't
- 28:53Speaker 1: imagine after this. I can't imagine them not doing this
- 28:56Speaker 1: on the pay per view. Maybe they don't, maybe they
- 28:58Speaker 1: set it up for a big episod o to Dynamite.
- 29:01Speaker 1: It just feels to me like this is going to
- 29:03Speaker 1: end up being that forbidden door match though. But this
- 29:05Speaker 1: was great, This is great stuff. And then bitches Teklo
- 29:11Speaker 1: is here, Cilencio Techlas speaking. She was in the crowd
- 29:18Speaker 1: and she had her fellow Sisters of Sin with her.
- 29:22Speaker 1: She says she has something very important to say. She
- 29:25Speaker 1: said that if anybody from stardom ever came to aw
- 29:28Speaker 1: she would wipe them off the face of the earth.
- 29:31Speaker 1: She was known as the idol killer when she was
- 29:34Speaker 1: in Japan, and yes she was fired from Japan, but
- 29:38Speaker 1: this is her house. She talked about sky Blue was
- 29:41Speaker 1: going to go on to win the Owen Hart Tournament.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Sure thing, sky Blue is going to win the O
- 29:49Speaker 1: and Julia Hart is going to win her TBS title back.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Oh that's what I wanted to mention. Let me pause there.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Forgot to mention this earlier. So they have a bounced
- 30:01Speaker 1: what they are going to do to crown a new
- 30:04Speaker 1: TBS champion. We are not going to get a new
- 30:07Speaker 1: TBS champion for another month. July first, on the July
- 30:12Speaker 1: first episode of Dynamite, they are going to have the
- 30:16Speaker 1: for the first time ever in AW a Survival of
- 30:19Speaker 1: the Fittest match. Now they've done these in Ring oh
- 30:24Speaker 1: my god. They've done these in Ring of Honor going
- 30:28Speaker 1: back many many years. I mean, they've done them in
- 30:30Speaker 1: ROH going back to two thousand and four, and they
- 30:33Speaker 1: actually just did one last month at Supercar to honor
- 30:36Speaker 1: Athena beat five other women to retain her championship because
- 30:39Speaker 1: nobody could beat this woman sept Mercedes. So now they're
- 30:44Speaker 1: doing it in AW and they're going to have a
- 30:46Speaker 1: series of qualifying matches over these next several weeks on TV,
- 30:50Speaker 1: and then they'll have what will be an elimination match.
- 30:53Speaker 1: So I think there's going to be six women, I
- 30:55Speaker 1: believe five or six, and it'll be an elimination style
- 30:59Speaker 1: tornado match basically to crown a new champion. I don't
- 31:02Speaker 1: hate it because the alternative, what was the alternative in
- 31:05Speaker 1: this situation, a one night Battle Royal. It's fucking lame.
- 31:10Speaker 1: You're gonna do a tournament, you have two tournaments going
- 31:12Speaker 1: on right now, you can't have a third one. It's
- 31:16Speaker 1: at least in AW. It's something we haven't seen before, right,
- 31:19Speaker 1: We've seen it in Roh, we haven't seen it in AW.
- 31:22Speaker 1: The downside is we have another month with no champion.
- 31:25Speaker 1: But it does give these matches that we'll see on
- 31:27Speaker 1: TV now some value that they wouldn't otherwise have. Instead
- 31:30Speaker 1: of just being a bunch of random matches, they actually
- 31:33Speaker 1: have meaning and value. And the winners will move on
- 31:36Speaker 1: to this match on July first, and then we'll find
- 31:40Speaker 1: out who the new TBS champion is. Now, without knowing
- 31:42Speaker 1: who's in the match, I can't say who that person
- 31:44Speaker 1: is gonna be. You know, they have different options for
- 31:47Speaker 1: who they It ain't gonna be Julia Hart, but that's
- 31:51Speaker 1: how they're going to crown a new TBS champion. But anyway,
- 31:55Speaker 1: Tekla said that she's not declaring war on stardom. She's
- 31:59Speaker 1: declaring death to stardom. And if that message wasn't clear
- 32:04Speaker 1: enough that by the time as she's cutting this promo,
- 32:07Speaker 1: they've exited the crowd. She was kind of backing up
- 32:11Speaker 1: down the aisleway looking into the camera. The cameraman was
- 32:14Speaker 1: following her on the stage. Just below the screens, there's
- 32:19Speaker 1: a ladder set up, and so Tekla begins to climb
- 32:25Speaker 1: the ladder and on the screen they have the Forbidden
- 32:29Speaker 1: Door graphic which has the AW logo and the new
- 32:32Speaker 1: Japan logo and the CMLL logo and the Stardom logo,
- 32:37Speaker 1: and she spits on the screen where the Stardom logo is,
- 32:44Speaker 1: and then on commentary, ex Caliber apologizes to their wonderful
- 32:48Speaker 1: partners in Stardom. I just want to take a moment
- 32:52Speaker 1: here to apologize to the fine people in the Stardom promotion.
- 32:57Speaker 1: So I guess she's wrestling somebody from Stardom at Forbidden Door.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Don't know who, but at least now we know what
- 33:06Speaker 1: she's gonna be doing it. I knew there would be
- 33:09Speaker 1: at least one person in the chat when she spit
- 33:12Speaker 1: on the screen. I said that there's some freaky deep
- 33:15Speaker 1: people out there watching this show who would probably pay
- 33:17Speaker 1: good money for her to do that to them. And
- 33:19Speaker 1: then we see Pseudo in the chat. It should have
- 33:22Speaker 1: been me. There's always one. There's always one. We had
- 33:31Speaker 1: andrete L. Actually, before we even get to that, we
- 33:33Speaker 1: go backstage the Death Riders are with Will Ospray and
- 33:37Speaker 1: John Mosley says, look, I know Mark Davis is still
- 33:40Speaker 1: renting space in your head. You guys used to be
- 33:42Speaker 1: very tight, but he isn't a tokyo monster. He's a
- 33:46Speaker 1: man with two arms and two legs. Don Callus will
- 33:49Speaker 1: have to hire a truck driver to take you out
- 33:51Speaker 1: if he wants to win. Mosley says, he's tired of
- 33:54Speaker 1: all these groups around here. Yeah, tell me about it,
- 33:58Speaker 1: and he wants Osprey to focus on Davis and he'll
- 34:01Speaker 1: take care of the rest. Then we had Androte Ledelo
- 34:07Speaker 1: taking on DK van Dou. Is that how it's pronounced? DK?
- 34:12Speaker 1: Van do? I believe is the person's name. He wasn't
- 34:16Speaker 1: in there for very long, mister van Dou over here
- 34:18Speaker 1: eight a spinning back elbow and then a DM, and
- 34:20Speaker 1: Androte wanted about thirty seconds, So thank you DK. After
- 34:26Speaker 1: the match, Androdi got on the mic and he said,
- 34:28Speaker 1: since MJF has the world title, he wants the world title,
- 34:32Speaker 1: and he knows that MJF has beaten Rusche, But does
- 34:35Speaker 1: MJF really think he can beat a real Latino man?
- 34:40Speaker 1: How you know that's his catchphrase? Now? How you know
- 34:47Speaker 1: Don Kallis walked out and he had Jake Doyle with him.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Jake Doyle had been out for many months with a
- 34:53Speaker 1: torn was it a bicet, It's a torn bicep. It
- 34:57Speaker 1: was a bicep or a tricep. I'm pretty sure it
- 34:59Speaker 1: was a bise up. And so he returned last week
- 35:03Speaker 1: and it was very unceremonious and very random. He just
- 35:07Speaker 1: sort of showed up. It's like, oh, Jake Doyle is back. Okay.
- 35:13Speaker 1: So now he comes out to the ring with Don
- 35:15Speaker 1: Callous and he tells Andrade, you know, great job, great job.
- 35:22Speaker 1: But he's got something to say. He's very excited. Callus
- 35:25Speaker 1: has some sort of announcement here to make, and he
- 35:29Speaker 1: introduces the newest member of the Don Kallus family. Now,
- 35:35Speaker 1: first I was like, he's got Doyle out there with him.
- 35:38Speaker 1: I'm like, well, Doyle's already in the family, what is
- 35:42Speaker 1: this new member? Nonsense? No, he has a brand new
- 35:46Speaker 1: member of the don Kallis family, the Jet Kevin Knight,
- 35:53Speaker 1: who's already the TNT champion. He's already having great success,
- 35:58Speaker 1: but now he has he joined the don Kallus family.
- 36:01Speaker 1: I guess because he wants it all. He wants to
- 36:04Speaker 1: be the world champion, and Callous is the guy who
- 36:07Speaker 1: can help take him to the promised land. Fucking Kevin
- 36:11Speaker 1: Knight is now a part of the ever expanding, grossly overweight,
- 36:16Speaker 1: morbidly obese Don Kallis family. The best part of this
- 36:23Speaker 1: entire thing here was he said this so excitedly that
- 36:30Speaker 1: his teeth fell out of his fucking mouth as he
- 36:33Speaker 1: was announcing Kevin Knight's name and fell on the mat. Now,
- 36:38Speaker 1: this is not the first time that this has happened.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Now it looks to me like it's a bridge. It
- 36:44Speaker 1: looks like it's a piece that has like multiple teeth
- 36:46Speaker 1: on it, and it just it just now. When this
- 36:49Speaker 1: happened the first time, I'm pretty sure when this happened
- 36:52Speaker 1: the first time, Hangman Page was in the ring, and
- 36:55Speaker 1: I think Callous was on the stage or the the isleway,
- 37:01Speaker 1: so he was addressing Hangman And at first I thought,
- 37:04Speaker 1: like his gum, like he spit gum out by accident,
- 37:08Speaker 1: Like his gum that he was chewing had fallen out
- 37:09Speaker 1: of his mouth. And then I go on social media
- 37:12Speaker 1: that night and everyone's like lol, like his fucking teeth
- 37:14Speaker 1: fell out. I'm like, what are you talking about. So
- 37:17Speaker 1: I went back and I looked at him, like, holy shit, yeah,
- 37:19Speaker 1: his teeth fell out, Like that's pretty embarrassing. So this
- 37:23Speaker 1: is the second time now that this has happened. This
- 37:27Speaker 1: guy has to fucking super glue that shit in there.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Apparently it's gonna be the only way this stuff's gonna
- 37:33Speaker 1: stay in his mouth. I'm like, how many more times
- 37:38Speaker 1: is this gonna happen? Ex Caliber Corpse. I'm sure he
- 37:42Speaker 1: wasn't the only one. It sounded like all the announcers
- 37:45Speaker 1: were trying not to draw attention to it, but they
- 37:47Speaker 1: wanted to just bust out laughing. I don't know, man,
- 37:50Speaker 1: he needs to use some gorilla glue because whatever he's
- 37:54Speaker 1: using now it ain't working. But Kevin Knight comes out
- 37:59Speaker 1: and he hugs Callous Androte looks very annoyed at all
- 38:03Speaker 1: of this, Androtte has got one foot out the door.
- 38:05Speaker 1: I think we've seen this for a while. He'll be
- 38:08Speaker 1: the next guy after Takashta. He'll be the next guy
- 38:10Speaker 1: out of the Callous family and going babyface, especially when
- 38:15Speaker 1: and if he actually does wrestle MJF. Here's my thoughts
- 38:19Speaker 1: on Kevin and I joining the Don Kallis Family. On
- 38:23Speaker 1: the one hand, when you really think about it, the
- 38:28Speaker 1: Callous crew gets more television time than anybody else on
- 38:32Speaker 1: these shows Dynamite Collision, because there's so many of them,
- 38:38Speaker 1: Like legitimately, he has at least fifteen members in this
- 38:40Speaker 1: family or somewhere in that range. Has to be. So
- 38:45Speaker 1: Callous is all over these shows. And Callous is a
- 38:48Speaker 1: great heel manager, right, I take nothing away from him,
- 38:52Speaker 1: don Callous. I mean, we talk about Paul Hayman doing
- 38:55Speaker 1: his thing in WWE. Callous is a better manager than
- 38:59Speaker 1: Paul Hayman at the moment, at this point in time.
- 39:02Speaker 1: I'm not saying all time. I'm just saying right now,
- 39:06Speaker 1: it's the closest thing that we have to a faction
- 39:08Speaker 1: the size of what the Heenan Family used to be.
- 39:11Speaker 1: But even the Heenan Family, I mean, my god, they
- 39:13Speaker 1: weren't adding new members at the rate that the fucking
- 39:15Speaker 1: Callous Family is. But the first point I wanted to
- 39:19Speaker 1: make is that they get so much television time. They're
- 39:23Speaker 1: all over these shows. And you look at someone like
- 39:25Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher, Kyle Fletcher has benefited from being part of
- 39:29Speaker 1: of the Callous vortex. If you will, and so you
- 39:33Speaker 1: can't deny that, right. I look at Kevin Knight the
- 39:37Speaker 1: same way in twenty twenty six that I did Kyle
- 39:41Speaker 1: Fletcher in twenty twenty five, and I think this is
- 39:44Speaker 1: gonna be his year. It already is. It already is
- 39:47Speaker 1: his year, and it's we're not even at the halfway
- 39:50Speaker 1: point yet. So him joining the Callous Family isn't gonna
- 39:54Speaker 1: hurt Kevin Knight. It's not because Kevin Knight is going
- 39:58Speaker 1: to be one of the more feet members of the
- 40:01Speaker 1: family that we see on TV. You've got Okada and
- 40:04Speaker 1: you've got Fletcher, and now you can put Kevin Knight
- 40:08Speaker 1: right in that same class. And then all of these
- 40:10Speaker 1: other guys Andrade and Mark Davis and Brian Cage and
- 40:14Speaker 1: Lance Archer and Trent Boretta and Rocky Romero and who
- 40:18Speaker 1: am I missing? I know I'm missing others, Jake Doyle,
- 40:21Speaker 1: all of them are going to be below Kevin Knight
- 40:24Speaker 1: and Okata and Fletcher. Now that Takeshta's gone, we can't,
- 40:28Speaker 1: you know, include him in there anymore. So I think
- 40:31Speaker 1: Kevin Knight's gonna be fine. I don't see this impacting
- 40:34Speaker 1: him in a negative way. Oh my god, he's gonna
- 40:37Speaker 1: get overwhelmed by all the other members in the group,
- 40:39Speaker 1: and he's going to be overshadowed. He's not now, if
- 40:44Speaker 1: you're one of those other people I just mentioned, those
- 40:47Speaker 1: guys are going to take a back seat now and
- 40:49Speaker 1: take a step down. And so maybe they're not so happy.
- 40:53Speaker 1: You know that Kevin Knight is the shiny new toy
- 40:54Speaker 1: in the don Kallis family, and maybe some of them
- 40:56Speaker 1: get a little less love than they were getting on
- 40:59Speaker 1: TV before. On the other hand, though, you cannot ignore
- 41:04Speaker 1: how comically absurd it is that Tony Kahan just keeps
- 41:08Speaker 1: tossing people into this fucking group. I mean, it's just
- 41:13Speaker 1: like it's like a rite of passage. If you're a heel,
- 41:15Speaker 1: you have to join the don Kallis or at least
- 41:18Speaker 1: pass through the don Kallis family. At some point it
- 41:23Speaker 1: just you say enough is enough. I mentioned Hayman, right,
- 41:26Speaker 1: I mentioned Hayman before. We still have Paul Haman guys
- 41:30Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty six. Paul Hayman right now is
- 41:33Speaker 1: with the Vision. The Vision sucks, but those are his guys,
- 41:37Speaker 1: right and he still has Brock. This would be the
- 41:39Speaker 1: equivalent of Paul Hayman adding a new heel into his
- 41:43Speaker 1: group literally every two or three weeks. Now, they don't
- 41:48Speaker 1: have nearly as many people running around on their television
- 41:50Speaker 1: shows as AW does. AW has so many people they
- 41:53Speaker 1: don't even know what to do with all of them.
- 41:55Speaker 1: I think the Callous Family alone has a bigger roster
- 41:58Speaker 1: than all of Monday Night all. But like if that
- 42:02Speaker 1: was happening with Hayman again, it would be ridiculous there too,
- 42:05Speaker 1: because you just keep adding and adding and adding, and
- 42:07Speaker 1: it's like, what's the point of this. You're watering down
- 42:10Speaker 1: the entire group by doing that, And that's the problem
- 42:15Speaker 1: you run into with a group like this. You can't
- 42:17Speaker 1: even keep track of who's part of it. I guess
- 42:22Speaker 1: that's kind of similar to Bullet Club in a way,
- 42:25Speaker 1: where they just kept adding members to Bullet Club or
- 42:28Speaker 1: the nWo back in the day. But this, it's just
- 42:32Speaker 1: it's comically absurd. It's like they have some sort of
- 42:36Speaker 1: addiction and they need help, they need treatment, out of control.
- 42:43Speaker 1: Stop adding members, focus on the ones that you have. Please.
- 42:52Speaker 1: But when I mentioned like Fletcher and Okada or even
- 42:54Speaker 1: Takeshta when he was part of the group, That's why
- 42:57Speaker 1: I say like, I'm not worried about Kevin Knight just
- 43:00Speaker 1: because he joined the Kallus family, because he'll be fine.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Just like those guys were fine, and those guys benefited
- 43:05Speaker 1: from being a part of it, he will too, So
- 43:08Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that. I had one person like
- 43:11Speaker 1: during the show was like, oh, why not the Hurt Syndicate, Well,
- 43:13Speaker 1: that really would make a lot of sense, the Hurt
- 43:16Speaker 1: Syndicate or Babyfaces now, so he can't join the Hurt
- 43:19Speaker 1: Syndicate because he's a fucking heel. If they wanted him
- 43:23Speaker 1: to join a group, this is the one to join.
- 43:27Speaker 1: I'm just he didn't need it, is what I'm saying.
- 43:31Speaker 1: It's not something that was needed, but this is what
- 43:35Speaker 1: they chose to do that. Kevin Knight was in action
- 43:39Speaker 1: defending his TNT championship against speedball Mike Bailey. Doyle gets
- 43:48Speaker 1: pissed at Davis. Are they teeming Brian Cage and Jake Doyle?
- 43:54Speaker 1: Now I saw something about that? Are they now tag
- 43:57Speaker 1: team partners? I guess Davis and Doyle? Davis and Doyle
- 44:03Speaker 1: is dead. Davis is the national champion, He's having success
- 44:07Speaker 1: as a single, so he doesn't need Doyle but I
- 44:10Speaker 1: thought I saw something where Brian Cage was now teaming
- 44:13Speaker 1: with Doyle. Cage and Doyle doesn't really have the same
- 44:20Speaker 1: ring to it like Davis and Doyle had a ring
- 44:25Speaker 1: to it, Cage and Doyle not so much. They teamed
- 44:29Speaker 1: on Collision already. Yeah, well maybe that'll be a new
- 44:33Speaker 1: team night connected with a huge springboard lariat from the
- 44:39Speaker 1: ring out to the floor. Right as Justin Roberts interrupted
- 44:43Speaker 1: the crowd pop with a ten minute time call. I'm
- 44:48Speaker 1: not blaming him, obviously, Tony conn or somebody is in
- 44:51Speaker 1: his ear telling him, okay, ten minutes announced ten minutes,
- 44:54Speaker 1: and so he announces it. Can we at least wait
- 44:58Speaker 1: a few more seconds instead of killing the fucking crowd
- 45:01Speaker 1: pop by making these announcements Like the crowd reacted. In
- 45:05Speaker 1: the middle of their reaction, Justin comes on the mic,
- 45:08Speaker 1: and so everybody quiets down to listen to what he's
- 45:10Speaker 1: gonna say. Can we just like give it a few
- 45:12Speaker 1: more seconds before we interrupted? Later on, Bailey wanted a
- 45:16Speaker 1: flamingo driver Jake Doyle. He distracted Rick Knox, which is
- 45:20Speaker 1: not hard to do, but he distracted him long enough
- 45:23Speaker 1: for Don Kallis to sweet Bailey's legs, he got crotched,
- 45:27Speaker 1: and then we got a scary spot off the top
- 45:30Speaker 1: rope here and I have no idea what they were
- 45:33Speaker 1: trying to do. I'm gonna have to go back and
- 45:35Speaker 1: watch this part again. It ended horribly with Bailey being
- 45:40Speaker 1: bent in half on a back bump down to the
- 45:42Speaker 1: mat like a spinebuster, and I don't know if maybe
- 45:46Speaker 1: that was the intent, but it just came off very
- 45:49Speaker 1: rough on the landing. I mean, at least he needn't
- 45:52Speaker 1: land on his head. And then Night followed quickly with
- 45:55Speaker 1: a urinagi for the win, which I will say kind
- 45:59Speaker 1: of anti climactic unless he's just you know, he's like, hey,
- 46:03Speaker 1: work for the rock, so I guess it'll work for
- 46:05Speaker 1: me too. But he beat him with a rock bottom,
- 46:08Speaker 1: I guess. I'm so. I'm so desensitized to like what
- 46:12Speaker 1: we see as a finish in so many of these
- 46:16Speaker 1: aw matches, even Kevin Knight matches like the UFO splash
- 46:19Speaker 1: is a spectacular finish. I don't know if they're going
- 46:22Speaker 1: to kind of tone that down because it's more of
- 46:24Speaker 1: a babyface move, and this is them moving away from
- 46:29Speaker 1: that to give him something different, which is not like
- 46:31Speaker 1: a terrible idea, But when I saw him beat Bailey
- 46:35Speaker 1: with that, I'm like, it's kind of anti climactic. Up
- 46:39Speaker 1: until that point though, they were having a very good match,
- 46:42Speaker 1: and after the match, Knight took the mic. He said
- 46:45Speaker 1: all he had to do was get rid of the
- 46:47Speaker 1: dead weight and link up with Don Perone. I see
- 46:53Speaker 1: what you did there some Don Perignon in his quest
- 46:56Speaker 1: to become Jet two belts, and so he called out
- 46:59Speaker 1: MJF and he told them, I'm waiting on you get
- 47:05Speaker 1: in line. So is everybody else. Apparently that's what happens
- 47:08Speaker 1: when you're the champion. Everybody wants the belt. This week's

- 48:25Speaker 1: Finley and Clark Conners, who gloated about taking out Adam
- 48:28Speaker 1: Copeland and Christian Cage last week. They had kazoos and
- 48:32Speaker 1: they did their own five second pos. The Young Bucks
- 48:35Speaker 1: showed up and apparently the Young Bucks were streaming earlier today,
- 48:42Speaker 1: like right before Dynamite. I guess from backstage at Dynamite
- 48:45Speaker 1: they were streaming on YouTube. They haven't streamed on YouTube
- 48:47Speaker 1: in years. I don't know if they started streaming for
- 48:50Speaker 1: any particular reason, but evidently people started donating a lot.
- 48:55Speaker 1: It turned into like this big donation drive for you know,
- 48:59Speaker 1: als and and everything. So that's what they were doing
- 49:02Speaker 1: before the show. So they interrupt the segment here and
- 49:07Speaker 1: Nick Jackson goes who let the dogs out? Nick Jackson
- 49:12Speaker 1: doing his best sidrow impersonation. Matt said the dogs were
- 49:18Speaker 1: new guys trying to make an impression. They probably thought
- 49:21Speaker 1: that they were next in line for the tag team titles,
- 49:23Speaker 1: but he didn't see them going to Bullet Club's worst
- 49:28Speaker 1: ever leader and his partner, TMU Hangman. Matt said that
- 49:35Speaker 1: he and Nick consider themselves the number one contenders because
- 49:38Speaker 1: they just beat these guys at Stadium Stampede. But if
- 49:42Speaker 1: you want to, we're willing to grab our gear and
- 49:46Speaker 1: we can settle this tonight. And Finley said the number
- 49:49Speaker 1: one contenders they will wrestle when they feel like. Yeah,
- 49:55Speaker 1: the shirts they were wearing were not great. I forgot
- 49:59Speaker 1: what they said. They were sporting these new T shirts
- 50:02Speaker 1: the dogs were. I don't suspect they're going to be
- 50:06Speaker 1: selling very well. Renee was talking to MJF, who was
- 50:13Speaker 1: in an ice bath in the back, and she brought
- 50:16Speaker 1: up all this, all the hooplah around these recent opponents
- 50:21Speaker 1: that have stepped forward to challenge him for his championship,
- 50:24Speaker 1: and he said, no match for Mark Briscoe, because my
- 50:28Speaker 1: world title is for winners and top guys like me.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Brisco is not. So for the last and final time,
- 50:35Speaker 1: Mark Briscoe stopped asking because it is not happening. See,
- 50:39Speaker 1: so we got a few weeks before no becomes yes.
- 50:44Speaker 1: That probably will be the Forbidden Door match. I don't know.
- 50:47Speaker 1: I mean the last match they had was tables and tacks,
- 50:50Speaker 1: So where do you go from there? Do you go
- 50:52Speaker 1: from tables and tax to just a straight wrestling match?
- 50:56Speaker 1: This feels like a grudge match, you know what I mean?
- 50:59Speaker 1: Like this this should be the big blowoff to their feud.
- 51:04Speaker 1: So it almost has to have some sort of stipulation.
- 51:07Speaker 1: You would think we've already seen MJF this year in
- 51:10Speaker 1: Texas Death. What else? What else can they do? Like
- 51:13Speaker 1: a cage match? I mean, how do you not have
- 51:17Speaker 1: some sort of stipulation after you're coming off of tables
- 51:19Speaker 1: and tax match? Last year we had Alex windsor up next,
- 51:26Speaker 1: she was facing a wild card in the Owenhart Foundation Tournament.
- 51:30Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale out the Mystery Woman in and it was
- 51:36Speaker 1: indeed the return of the CEO. Mercedes Monet is back.
- 51:43Speaker 1: This was her first match all year in aw Well,
- 51:48Speaker 1: I guess we know who's winning this thing now, don't we?
- 51:51Speaker 1: Seems pretty clear. She came out and she had Piro
- 51:56Speaker 1: and it sounded to me like she had new music.
- 52:00Speaker 1: And look, people can shit on this or shit on
- 52:03Speaker 1: her all they want. Don't get excited, Vince. People can
- 52:06Speaker 1: shit on her all they want to. Reality is that's
- 52:09Speaker 1: a big name for them to get back in the division.
- 52:11Speaker 1: And Mercedes goes out there and she has very good
- 52:13Speaker 1: matches and so this will be no different. Tonight was
- 52:16Speaker 1: no different. These two went out there and had a
- 52:18Speaker 1: good match, and I'm sure in the next round it
- 52:21Speaker 1: will be no different. And in the finals, if we
- 52:23Speaker 1: get the final, I think we're gonna get which is
- 52:25Speaker 1: Mercedes in Athena. That's going to be an excellent match.
- 52:29Speaker 1: This is what she does. She goes out there and
- 52:31Speaker 1: she has great matches. If she goes on to Wembley
- 52:34Speaker 1: and wrestles Tekla, that will be a great match that
- 52:37Speaker 1: will be a first time ever match that we have
- 52:39Speaker 1: not seen before. Now. I can't say she was acting
- 52:42Speaker 1: too differently here because she would always come out and
- 52:46Speaker 1: you know, kind of gloat and just act very heelish.
- 52:50Speaker 1: She was kind of acting the way that she would
- 52:52Speaker 1: normally act. She wasn't behaving any differently. She got more
- 52:56Speaker 1: of a babyface response. People weren't booing her or anything
- 52:59Speaker 1: like that come out. I thought she got a decent response.
- 53:02Speaker 1: It wasn't anything you know, blow away. When they initially
- 53:05Speaker 1: hit the music and they put Mercedes Monet on the screens,
- 53:09Speaker 1: she kind of got a pop and then after that
- 53:11Speaker 1: it was like it was okay. But yeah, as far
- 53:15Speaker 1: as how she was behaving or like acting during the match,
- 53:20Speaker 1: no different than usual. So there is history I should
- 53:26Speaker 1: say between these two women. This was there. I want
- 53:28Speaker 1: to say third match. Mercedes beat her in their first meeting.
- 53:33Speaker 1: Their last meeting was on Collision last year, and that
- 53:36Speaker 1: was the match where Windsor beat her to win the
- 53:40Speaker 1: Rev Pro British Women's Championship. So the last time they met,
- 53:45Speaker 1: Mercedes lost to this woman, so she was not losing
- 53:49Speaker 1: to this woman here in this match. There was a
- 53:52Speaker 1: three Amigos spot from Mercedes. She had done it successfully
- 53:55Speaker 1: the first time. Second time around, though, Windsor spun out
- 54:00Speaker 1: into a Maiden Japan for a near fall, and Mercedes
- 54:03Speaker 1: she tucked her head like with the maid in Japan,
- 54:05Speaker 1: you kind of go up and then on the way
- 54:08Speaker 1: down you tuck your head and you get dropped. She
- 54:10Speaker 1: went up and then she basically did the move herself
- 54:14Speaker 1: before Alex did anything. So she tucked her head and
- 54:17Speaker 1: she went down, and then Windsor followed. It was like
- 54:20Speaker 1: a second delay, so that didn't look too great, but
- 54:25Speaker 1: we got a running sunset bomb into the corner from Mercedes.
- 54:28Speaker 1: She missed the meteora, though both women traded pen attempts.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Monette hit a backstabber, she got a statement maker applied,
- 54:35Speaker 1: and Windsor tapped out to give Mercedes to the wind
- 54:39Speaker 1: in what I thought was a good match. It's a
- 54:42Speaker 1: good match here between these two. After the match, she
- 54:45Speaker 1: celebrated with I don't know if it was I don't
- 54:48Speaker 1: know if there's more than one and she still has hers,
- 54:52Speaker 1: or if they kind of take the same one and
- 54:54Speaker 1: that's the one that was sitting on the little pedestal there,
- 54:57Speaker 1: but they have the owen Hart. The pink owen Heart
- 54:59Speaker 1: belt sitting there and she took it. I think she
- 55:02Speaker 1: took the one that was sitting there and she was
- 55:05Speaker 1: posing with it and she took it with her. So
- 55:08Speaker 1: I mean, technically she is still currently the women's owen
- 55:11Speaker 1: Hart champion from last year. She's the defending champion, except
- 55:15Speaker 1: you don't defend it, so that's not the right word.
- 55:18Speaker 1: She's the reigning owen Hart Foundation champion. So anyway, she
- 55:23Speaker 1: danced all the way to the back with the belt
- 55:26Speaker 1: and she's looking to be the first woman to go
- 55:30Speaker 1: back to back. She won it last year. Nobody else
- 55:32Speaker 1: has gone back to back yet she's looking to become
- 55:35Speaker 1: the first this year. Seems pretty clear to me that
- 55:38Speaker 1: she's probably going to be the first person to do so,
- 55:41Speaker 1: because I was thinking Persephone, and then as soon as
- 55:44Speaker 1: Mercedes came out, all that went out the window. She
- 55:47Speaker 1: would be facing Persephone in the next round. If Persephone
- 55:50Speaker 1: can beat Hazuki this weekend, and I fully expect that
- 55:54Speaker 1: that's going to be the match Mercedes in Persephone, and
- 55:57Speaker 1: Mercedes is going to win, and Mercedes to go to
- 56:00Speaker 1: the finals. I mean, there's no way she doesn't at
- 56:03Speaker 1: least go to the finals, right, They're gonna want her
- 56:05Speaker 1: in that match at Forbidden Door. They have a pay
- 56:07Speaker 1: per view to promote. So if you got Mercedes in
- 56:10Speaker 1: this tournament, Mercedes is going to Forbidden Door. She's probably
- 56:14Speaker 1: going to Wembley Stadium as well. And so yes, it
- 56:19Speaker 1: seems very obvious now who the winners of these tournaments
- 56:22Speaker 1: are going to be. But I think those are the
- 56:24Speaker 1: correct winners. Like will Osprey is absolutely the correct winner
- 56:28Speaker 1: on the men's side and on the women's side. Here
- 56:31Speaker 1: it should be Mercedes. Sorry if you disagree or if
- 56:36Speaker 1: you're not a Mercedes fan, but just you know, you
- 56:38Speaker 1: gotta be honest about it when you look at who's
- 56:40Speaker 1: left in this tournament and you're looking for the biggest
- 56:43Speaker 1: possible match that you could do on that Forbidden Door
- 56:46Speaker 1: show if were not Forbidden Door, but on the Wembley
- 56:50Speaker 1: card in August. If we assume that Tecla is going
- 56:54Speaker 1: into Wembley as the champion, Tecla and Mercedes is a
- 56:57Speaker 1: match that has not been done. If the story is
- 57:00Speaker 1: that Mercedes lost all of her belts and it kind
- 57:03Speaker 1: of humbled her, right, She's got a taste of humble
- 57:06Speaker 1: pie and Now she's trying to win the championship that
- 57:10Speaker 1: she's tried unsuccessfully twice now to win and she has
- 57:14Speaker 1: not been able to do it. But she hit rock bottom,
- 57:17Speaker 1: she lost all of her belts. Now she's trying to
- 57:20Speaker 1: work her way back up. She's got to win this tournament.
- 57:23Speaker 1: That's the story. Athena against Tecla would be a fun match,
- 57:28Speaker 1: but it doesn't make any sense because it's heel on heel.
- 57:31Speaker 1: They're not gonna want to do that at Wembley. So
- 57:36Speaker 1: the other options here are not nearly as attractive. Like
- 57:40Speaker 1: if you're a promoter, if you're Tony Kahan, you're looking
- 57:42Speaker 1: at this, why would you do it any other way
- 57:44Speaker 1: other than sending Mercedes to the finals. It wouldn't even
- 57:47Speaker 1: make any sense. And then from the finals she wins
- 57:50Speaker 1: and she goes on to London. That's the way it's
- 57:53Speaker 1: gonna play out. I don't have an issue with that.
- 57:56Speaker 1: But as soon as she danced on out, that was it.
- 58:00Speaker 1: You know, the tournament was over. But I am looking
- 58:04Speaker 1: forward to Mercedes and Athena, though that better be the final.
- 58:10Speaker 1: I enjoyed their first match on Dynamite, the chance to
- 58:15Speaker 1: send them out there on a pay per view and
- 58:20Speaker 1: give them more time. You know they're gonna get time.
- 58:23Speaker 1: Mercedes is the first woman in the history of this
- 58:25Speaker 1: company who got twenty plus minutes for a pay per
- 58:28Speaker 1: view match. Send Athena and Mercedes out there for twenty
- 58:33Speaker 1: to twenty five minutes sounds good to me. Jasta is
- 58:41Speaker 1: convinced that Athena is winning the Owen. Why because Mercedes
- 58:46Speaker 1: beat her the first time? MM, I don't know. I mean, look, hey,
- 58:53Speaker 1: if they want to send Athena, I'm not gonna I'm
- 58:54Speaker 1: not gonna hate on it. But I don't see it.
- 58:58Speaker 1: I don't see it. And they spoke with Don Kallus
- 59:01Speaker 1: and kazuska Oka case in point. This fucking guy's everywhere.
- 59:04Speaker 1: He's all over these shows. This is my point. If
- 59:07Speaker 1: you're in the Callus family, you can bet on one
- 59:10Speaker 1: thing if nothing else, well, two things. Number One, you're
- 59:15Speaker 1: not gonna have to worry about like not getting TV time. Okay,
- 59:18Speaker 1: we saw them here, we saw them again in the
- 59:20Speaker 1: main event. That's number one. Number Two, you can bet
- 59:22Speaker 1: that you don't want to be standing within five feet
- 59:25Speaker 1: of Don Kallas or you may get hit in the
- 59:27Speaker 1: face by his teeth. Those are the two things now
- 59:30Speaker 1: that we know. But she spoke with Don Callus and Okada,
- 59:37Speaker 1: and Callous put over Kevin Knight joining the family, and
- 59:39Speaker 1: he predicted Mark Davis would beat Will Osbury in the
- 59:42Speaker 1: main event. He said Okada was screwed and they won't
- 59:45Speaker 1: stand for it. And Okada said that Kenoski Takesha is
- 59:48Speaker 1: nothing without the family. He said, Takeshta won't have the
- 59:51Speaker 1: International Championship in a backpack for very long. Then we
- 59:57Speaker 1: showed some highlights here from last Wednesday. After Chris Jericho
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: beat Ricochet, he was attacked by Tomaso Champa and then
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: on collision, Champa pulled a page out of the Jericho
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: playbook from many years ago, and he read from his
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: list of one thousand and four reasons why he hates Jericho.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: So now we're live in the back and Champa wonders
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: where Jericho could be. Maybe he's afraid to come back
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: because Champa will beat his ass again. Champa has marked
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: his territory and he advises that Jericho stay away, and
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: if he does return, Champa might just strike first. You
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: stupid idiot boy. He's just pulling out all the old
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: Jericho gimmicks here I'm surprised he didn't have the list
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: in his hand elsewhere on this show. Here it was
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: time for the main event, and it was Will Osprey
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: going one on one with his former friend Mark Davis
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: in a semi final match in the owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Osprey beat Samoa Joe. Mark Davis beat Jack Perry last
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: week in the main event. That is how we ended
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: up here. Davis beat Osprey back in April on this
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: show by ref stoppage. So for that reason alone, I mean,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: you had to know there was only one way this
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: match could possibly go. But this was also the second
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: straight down to mite with a Mark Davis main event.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: Like I said before, I'm here for it. Mark Davis.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: He's taking full advantage of the opportunity that's been given
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: to him. It actually looks like he slimmed down a
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: little bit too, still a big guy, but you know
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: he's he's taking advantage and making the most of the
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: time that he is given. He's been getting a lot
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: of time lately, and he doesn't win all the time.
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: He's winning more now than he was previously, but he's
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: just making the most of his as they say, he's
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: maximizing his minutes, and I've been very much enjoying the
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: matches that he's been a part of now. Late in
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: this match, Davis set up for a pile driver on
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: the apron. Osprey countered with a herd Carona that sent
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: both men to the floor. Back inside, Osprey got a
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: styles clash only for a near fall. Davis avoided an oscutter,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: and then he threw a kick that Osprey avoided, but
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: it took out the referee. Down goes Paul Turner, so
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: we got the ref bump. Ospray hit the oscutter, he
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: got a visual pin. There's no referee and this is
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: where all of the overbooking I mentioned earlier came into play,
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: because we had a really good wrestling match up until
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: this point. And then chaos broke loose Trent Burretta and
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: El Clone. They run to the ring, they attack Ospray.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: Here comes Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuda of the Death
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Riders to back Ospray up. They cleared the heels from
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: the ring. Lance Archer shows up and he took a
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Wheeler Yuda and Will Ospry. Claudio runs in. He hits
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: a springboard uppercut to take out Archer. Brian Cage gets
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: in the ring, he takes out Claudia with an F five.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Pack gets in the ring. He takes out Brian Cage.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Osprey then puts Davis down again. He covers him and
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: Pack throws the referee back inside and before the referee
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: could even count three, Jake Doyle is here and Doyle
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: pulls the referee back out to the floor. See he
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: gets in the ring. Marina Shaffir now jumps on Doyle's back.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: She's gonna try to stop him, and Doyle just kind
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: of flings her over his head and she crashes to
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: the mat. John Moxley comes out from behind and he
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: puts Doyle down with a paradigm shift. He pops right
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: back up though, selling it like he's all wobbly, uh.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: And he's backed up against the ropes so that Moxley
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: and Marina Shaffir could do a double clothes line, and
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: all three of them end up going ass over tea kettle,
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: over the top rope and out to the floor. Now
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher shows up and he gets in on the
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: party and he puts Ospray down with a half and
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: half and then he pulls out the dreaded screwdriver, the
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: dreaded Neon screwdriver, but Canoskate takeshta. He arrives, he pulls
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: them to the floor, and so they're going at it.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: Davis picks up the screwdriver. He's going to use it.
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: Ospray and by the way, in all of this, I
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: think it was pack was a pack. It was pack.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure who did a big moon salt off
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: the top rope onto the pile outside, took everybody out.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: It was all kinds of chaos going on here. And
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: so in the ring, Davis has the screwdriver, so he's
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: gonna use it. But before he can, Osprey hits him
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: with a hidden blade to the arm to knock the
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: screwdriver out of his hand. And then he hits a
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: proper hidden blade and he covers him, but there's no referee.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: A second referee runs in. I want to say it
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: was Bryce. He counts. Davis kicks out. Now I'm laughing.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Now I'm watching this and I'm like, what the fuck
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: is going on here? So he kicks out Davis. He
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: ducked a hidden blade to the back of the head.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: By just ducking out of the way. He put Osprey
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: down with this great stuff pile driver. I mean, it
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: just it looked fantastic to the point where I was
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: I was upset because it really should have ended the match.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: But you'd have to be an idiot to think that
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: Mark Davis was gonna win this match, Like you knew
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: he wasn't winning. I almost wish he didn't hit the
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: move because I just hate the fact that Osprey kicked
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: out of this. This was like a couple of kickouts
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: too much here, but the perfect pile driver to a
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: guy with a bad neck who's been doing almost nothing
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: but selling his neck now for weeks, and he fucking
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: kicks out. He kicked out of the pile driver. Davis
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: ran the ropes, he was going to go for a
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Larry at Osprey. He transitioned though into this new death
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: ground arm bar finish that he's been using and he
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: got the quick submission for the win at the twenty
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: three minute mark. Holy shit, what a match that this
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: turned into. Here, they were having a great wrestling match
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: before all of the interference, and then all of the
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: interference came and it's back and forth. Callous Family, death Riders,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Death Riders, Callous Family, and they're just fighting each other off.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: Everybody gets wiped out outside and again all the near
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: falls and the big moves, and you think it's over
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: and then they kick out and the people losing their
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: minds over this. And so it worked, you know what
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: they did. They were trying to get the crowd all
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: amped up and all fired up. They were into it.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: It worked and Osprey got the win and everybody celebrated.
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: Everybody was so happy that Osprey is moving on now
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: to the finals of this tournament. So was it overbooked,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: You bet you as it was overbooked. But I loved it.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: I thought that this match was was great. It was
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: a lot of fun. As long as they don't make
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: a habit out of doing this sort of thing. There
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: are just some situations where you'll do this sometimes and
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: it works. I think one of the reasons why it
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: worked here for me. Anyway, we don't see this kind
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: of finish in aw all the time, like the severe
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: overbooking like they did tonight. We don't see this all
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: the time here. Does the Kallus family get involved in
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: every fucking match pretty much? Yeah, But like what we
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: saw here was something very different than what we're accustomed
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: to seeing. You know, many times we'll have a clean match,
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: there'll be a bunch of deer falls and a bunch
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: of kickouts, but we don't have fifteen people and two
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: ref bumps, and you know, like all of this shit
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: going on, you gotta just save it for the right situation.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: And I thought, here it worked and it ended up
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: being a lot of fun. We also got a fifteen
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: minute overrun. By the way, I don't know if we
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: needed an extra fifteen minutes for this, but they gave
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: them a lot of time. Again, the match went twenty
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: three minutes. Now, as far as the Owen Tournament is concerned,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: it's gonna be Ospray and Swerve. We're gonna get Swerve
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: and Brody King next week. Swarve's gonna win, and so
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: we're gonna get the rematch, you know, only this time
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: the roles are a little bit different than they were previously,
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: because this time, instead of having two babyfaces, we have
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: a babyface and we have a heel and Osprey is
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: gonna get his win back from two years ago, and
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hell of a fucking match. I mean,
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: think about the potential finals that have now been set
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: up for these two tournaments at Forbidden Door, Ospray and Swerve,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: Mercedes and Athena. Just those two matches alone very strong,
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: and that's not counting whoever MJF defends against, probably Mark Brisco.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: I don't know if Kenny Omega is gonna have a
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: match on the show. I don't know if they're gonna
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: have Fletcher and Takeshta on that show for the international title,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: but obviously that's where we're headed there. So yeah, I
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of great matches that they could
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: have on that card, but those two finals that I
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: think were shaping up to see very very strong, which
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: is what I thought the show tonight was. I had
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: a lot of fun watching this show. Just had a
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: certain energy and a certain vibe to it. You know,
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: in the building, we got a lot of great wrestling,
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: crazy ending there, Mercedes, she's finally back after all these
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: months of you know, being on the sidelines. It just
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: felt like there was a lot going on here. And
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: that Mark Brisco promo very very strong promo. So I
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: give the show tonight two thumbs up. I thought it
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: was a very strong show. I think a look at
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: your super chats and then we got ourselves around of
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: be the booker to do because we blew past the
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: likes tonight. I always like to see here on a Wednesday. Hey, Chezza,
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: Good morning, Cheza. Ended like the SmackDown before Survivor series
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: during the Invasion. Yes, that was, although there were far
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: more people running in here than even there. Actually that's
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: the ending I'm thinking about. That's still to this day,
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: the greatest ending I think in SmackDown history, right with
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Austin Rock Taker, Kane, Kurt Jericho, Big Show, I think,
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: right everybody running in Shane. Hey, Joseph Stewart, Happy Wednesday, brother,
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: He's going to Masters the Universe tomorrow. He's very excited. Well,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: have fun. I got my tickets for Friday. So on
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: that note, I'm actually glad you brought that up. Originally,
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: what I was gonna do was for SmackDown, which is
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: in Italy. I was gonna do what I did for
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: Raw this week, which is go live around eight. We're
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: gonna push that back on Friday. I don't know that
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna go live at eleven thirty, probably though, somewhere
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: in that ten or eleven range, and we'll just play
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: by year. I'll keep you guys posted I can't. I
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: was hoping to see Masters of the Universe tomorrow, but
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: since I can't drive, I'm not allowed to drive after
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: the procedure, so I'm gonna go on Friday. I got
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: my tickets for Friday afternoon, so I'll be watching that
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: and then I can catch up with SmackDown later and
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: then we'll go live. And I think it's gonna work
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: out better because it's Game two Nixon Spurs. Game two
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: is on Friday, and I really would rather not compete
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: at least with the beginning of the game. If I
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: go live closer to like ten ten thirty, I mean,
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: the game probably won't be over, but I'd rather not
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: compete directly with the game when it starts. So I
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: think it'll all work out for the better this way.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: But anyway, enjoy the movie. Enjoy the movie, and from
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: what I understand, make sure you stay for the credits
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: is what I've been told. Don't leave until the credits
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: are done. Just FYI, he says, I'm watching the Dolph
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: Lungren Masters of the Universe movie right now to prepare
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: for the new one. See, I don't know if I
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: want to do that, then I just feel like I'm
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: gonna be comparing the two. Do you think the rock
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: is the greatest wrestler to ever sing to ever sing?
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: No says I'll be going to see Batman Forever in
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: theaters this month for the anniversary of the movie. I
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: didn't even realize it was the anniversary. And I don't
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: have a I don't have a favorite Chris O'Donnell's scene either,
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: or Nicole Kidman. I just like the fact that she
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: was in the movie because I had a thing for
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman back then. She was quite the looker. Did
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: I play the Batman Forever arcade video game? It's very good,
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: you could play, and I never played, no that one.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: I never think I ever did I remember ever playing
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: that one? Buyer sell Billy D. Williams as Harvey Dent
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: or Tommy Lee Jones's two Face Tommy Lee Jones can't
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: vote against my guy, Tommy I didn't kill my wife.
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: I don't care which wrestler do you think could play
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: Harvey Dent and two Face? Which wrestler? I wouldn't have
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: any wrestler playing Harvey Denter chude. I'd get a real,
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: real good actor to play him. No current wrestlers that
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: I could think of, But the best wrestler turned actor
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: is Batista, So maybe Dave Batista could kind of slide
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: right in there. I don't think that's the right role
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: for him, though. He's probably more like more of a
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: bane guy. Although he's lost a lot of mass. He
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: is smaller now than he used to be. Have you
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: seen the trailer to the Wolverine video game? I have not.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: The Spider Noirsia. It was really good with Nicholas Cage.
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: Interesting you're a fan of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. I
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: believe I listened to it. I don't know that. I'm
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: not really a fan of it, but I'm pretty sure
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: I had listened to it many years ago. Uh do
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: you know the song from You Two, hold Me, kiss Me,
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: Thrill Me. It is on the Batman Forever soundtrack. It's
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: in the closing credits of Batman Forever. No. When I
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: think of you Too, I think of Triple h A's
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: return in two thousand and two, and I think of
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: Beautiful Day. It's the first thing that always pops into
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: my head. Was I a fan of Drew Barry? Uh No,
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: not really, not in that role. Dominic Mysterio for Money
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: in the Bank twenty twenty six. No, did you know
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: that Michael Keaton was going to return his Beetlejuice in
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: the early nineteen nineties in the original Beetlejuice sequel called
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: Beetlejuice Goes to Hawaii. I thought it was I thought
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: it was called the Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. That's a real thing.
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: By the way they were gonna make it. I think
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: there was a script, and I think the studio ended
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: up passing on it because they felt like some of
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: the characters were like aged out. It was some rationale
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: like that. It just sounds like a terrible idea though,
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: like Beetlejuice Goes to Hawaii or something. It just doesn't
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: sound good. What are your favorite songs from the pulp
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: fiction soundtrack? Honestly, the only one I even remember from
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: that soundtrack was a jungle boogie by Cool in the Gang.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: Still remember that favorite pizza restaurant. I don't eat pizza anymore,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: but I used to be a big fan of Pizza Hut.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: They had those little personal pan pizzas. I've never eaten Dominoes,
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: so't I can't speak to Dominoes. It's your favorite store
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: to buy what is your favorite store to buy movies,
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: music and books. It's called Amazon Movies and Music. It
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: used to be a place called Fye. I don't even
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: know if it exists anymore. Now it's called Amazon, and
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: I don't even have to leave my house. As my
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: cousin told me, he saw Jack Perry, Anna Jay and
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: Lucasaurus last week and saw the Jurassic Express bus as well. Yeah.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: I told that story about somebody and they actually posted
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: a photo. They were driving on the highway. It was
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: in New York and there's like around double or nothing
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: weak and there's that fucking Jurassic Express bus on the
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: express wire or something. Anyway, thank you. Joseph Olivia says
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: MJF against Omega against Osprey at all in is there
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: a chance? Yeah, yeah, there's a chance. I still think
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: it'll be one on one, either MJF and Osprey or
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Omega and Osprey. But there's there's a chance. Sure, Uh,
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: we got death Sithe says favorite horror movie weapon. It
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: can be as simple as a butcher knife, or something
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: as creative as a power drill, or even the environments themselves.
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: There are no wrong answers, well, I mean, if we're
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: talking about environments, then we have to go with Jason X.
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: The liquid nitrogen kill in Jason X is my all
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: time favorite. We're going with like a real horror movie weapon.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: I was never really a big nightmare on ELM Street
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: Guy like I was Friday the thirteenth or Halloween. But
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: we gotta go Freddy's Glove. How do you not go
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: Freddy's Glove with the knives? Roadrunner says, I think we
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: get MJF and Hangman at all in without there being
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: any title at stake? Can you do Omega and Osprey?
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: I could see that. I don't know what Moxley does.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: You know they're gonna have him in a big match.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: I don't know. If not him and Kenny, then I
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I don't know what he does.
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: H Dry Chicken says Leo Rush and Indy Navaretti should
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: do a collaboration together. Both of them make this guy
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: laugh when they say no. Indi Navaretty is fantastic, She's great,
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: She's very cool. Death Side says, also, are you going
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: to see Evil Dead Burn when it comes out on
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: July tenth? Because I just saw the one shot seen
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: teaser trailer and it looks really good. I have not
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: seen that trailer and I don't have any plans to
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: see it, so probably not. I never saw the Evil
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Dead series. Should I I know who ashes, I just
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: never got into it. Ishmael says, I don't not want
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: to see MJF against Briscoe at Forbidden Doors. So far,
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: it's a I don't not want to. I think you
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: mean I do not want to. That's a double negative there,
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: that means you do want to see. It changes the
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: whole meaning of the superchat. So far, it's a lackluster
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: build for the pay per view. I'm attending the event
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: and like there is barely any build with the outside talents.
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: This is Yeah, well this is the problem with Forbidden Door.
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: Every year there's certain talents who probably can't even show
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: up on Dynamite right, they can't fly them in for
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: whatever reason. They're going to build matches where people won't
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: even be on the shows to really promote them. Look,
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: I think Forbidden Door is a concept that kind of
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: wore at its welcome a couple of years ago. You'll
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: still have a bunch of great wrestling matches on there.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: But the whole concept of Forbidden Door is just it's
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: very dated, but it still does well for AW. That's
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: why Tony keeps doing it. And he's got the relationships
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: with these different companies and so he wants to keep
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: them happy and feature them on the show. And I
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: get it. I get it, but forbidden Door is a
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: concept is not necessary anymore. You know, the forbidden door
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: was opened a long time ago, and the forbidden door
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: opens every single week. You got wrestlers now with dual
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: contracts who work for New Japan and AW for stardom
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: in AW, or maybe not stardom but for CMLL and
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: AW Persephanie being one of them. The Forbidden Door swings
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: open every week. And then when you have the pay
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: per view, yes, you end up with several matches that
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: are just sort of slapped together for the sake of
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: doing them. The best you could hope for is that
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: some of the other AAW exclusive matches end up being
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: strong enough to support the entire card. Still a pay
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: per view that they expect you to buy MYAW that
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: knew MYAW service. It's not a bad deal. It's really not,
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: especially if you do buy the pay per views every
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: single month, and they don't have them every single month,
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: but they're up to like ten I think ten ten
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: per year. If you go for the annual package there,
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: it probably saves you some money. Mister Rod says Nixon six.
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: That's what I said. We'll see if we're right. They're
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: still undefeated. Uh oh oh he's back again. Oh no,
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: Sola Monster's lost son. You know he showed up on
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: TNT last night, always looking for a hand out. This
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: guy says, Daddy, the Knicks win, we are going to
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: Game three. No, we're not. I'm not going anywhere with you.
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: And I told you to leave me alone, and I
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: told you to tell your mother to leave me alone.
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: Derek J. Speaks. I don't mind if they do MJF
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: and Brisco at Forbidden Door. The real main event of
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: that show is going to be Osprey and Swerve anyway,
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: probably even to close with it. That's why I said,
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: like it's shaping up with the two finals for the
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: Owen tournaments, like those two matches alone are very strong
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: selling points for the pay per view even though they
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the Forbidden Door concept. They
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the concept at all, But
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: those are the two matches, I'm probably going to be
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: looking forward to the most venom Kitetsu again read that
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: super chat earlier. All the best to your dad. Thank you,
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: brother San Juan Wolf with a nineteen ninety nine SUP solo.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Aside from Fletcher Ta, Keshta and Kevin Knight, what other
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: young talents do you see Tony Khan elevating to eventually
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: reach the main event level PS spurs in seven. Well,
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: that's where we're going to have to disagree. What other
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: young talents do you see TK elevating to eventually reach
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: main event level? I mean it's impossible to know who's
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: going to reach main event level. Fletcher A. Knight seem
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: like they're on their way. Takeshta should be on their way.
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: Why not throw him in there? You know he's the
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: international champion right now, but he could go higher than that.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: Great talent super popular. You know, I understand English is
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: not his first language, but that shouldn't stop him from
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: ascending to even high heights in the company at some point.
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: You know, somebody to keep an eye out for. And
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: I mentioned her name previously because we had her in
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: House of Glory only once once or twice, but I
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: remember when I was preparing at the time for some
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: notes for her match, and I was looking up like
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: her indie work and everything, and she was a wweid
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: talent for a while. Is Zeta Steele. She's very young
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: and still very new to the company, but she is
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: for someone who is still so new to this and
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: so young, she is super charismatic, super confident, carries herself
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: with confidence, at least publicly, and I think she's someone
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: who if she continues to learn and improve, like in
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: ring on the female side. Again, it's way too early
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: to say main eventor but she has the skill set
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: I think to get there. She just carries herself like
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: a star. So I might throw Zeta Steele in there
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: as well as somebody to keep an eye out for.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: Yee says, just dropping into show some Wednesday love. Thank you, Yee.
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: Bryant Finley with a five. What about a triple threat
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: match in London with Osprey, Omega and MJF. There's a
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: story with all three guys and it's a match that
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: we haven't seen before. Yeah, I mean Tony doesn't really
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: like doing three way matches, though, I feel like in
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: a big Wembley main event he's gonna want it to
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: be one on one. That's just how I feel you
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: could do it. It would be a big match. It
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: just doesn't seem like something that he would normally do
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: Arabian Night. Unlike in WWE, where they use the same
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: three or four older main eventors in the big programs,
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: AW was pushing and investing in all their young guys.
- 1:27:55Speaker 1: In those spots they use Y two, j Omega, Hurt, Syndicate,
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: Cope and Cage in spurts. Yeah, I mean there's still
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: some of them that Frankly I you know, could stand
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: to see less of Jericho since he came back. Is
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: kind of inoffensive. It's not like he's being shoved down
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: our throats. I mean that's fine. Omega we barely see so.
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: I mean, if anything, we don't get enough of Kenny, Omega, Frankly, Hurt,
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: synd A Kit We don't get enough of them either.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: It would be nice to see them a little more
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: often on Dynamite, But they're definitely investing in some of
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: these talents. Again, Kevin Knight is one that stands out,
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: and Fletcher, and then there are some tag teams. You know,
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: there's certain people that you you kind of wish you
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: would see more of and maybe you're not seeing enough
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: of them, or you see them on Collision, but you
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: don't see him as much on Dynamite. Even Rush seeing
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: us on Dynamite the last few weeks, it's like, why
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: couldn't he be featured on the Wednesday show more frequently?
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: Why is this just a recent phenomenon, you know, because
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: there's only so much TV time to go around. Venom
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: Ktetsu Kallus Family two thousand, two thousand being the number
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: of members that they will eventually have, Bryant, Finley, Mercedes,
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: and Bailey as Women's tag team champions in twenty twenty seven.
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: I'm convinced that Bailey is Bailey is gonna go to
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: AW at some point. I think she's gonna want to.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: I think she's gonna want to work with all the
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: women they have, and not just Mercedes, but she's gonna
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: want to work with all these new women, Statlanders and
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: the haters, Tony Storm, and Bryant says they should sell
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: a T shirt saying I'm a Mark d guy. I
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: think it would sell. I don't know how well that
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: would sell. I'm a Mark Davis guy, and I wouldn't
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: wear it, so I'm just being honest. We have k
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: Rob k Rob reacts with a ten fye still exists.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: I bought the Golden Girls monopoly there in Springfield, Missouri,
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: at the Battlefield Mall. There's a mall in Springfield called
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: the Battlefield Mall. That's awesome. I wish we had that. Actually,
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: some of the malls in New York feel like a
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: battlefield when you try to navigate them. Paul Carpenter, I
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: finally got the season seven, got two, Season seven right
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: on the Shield, and that is a great show. Vic
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: Mackie is a beast. Well, I'm glad it took you
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: long enough to come around to this. I've only been
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: singing the praises of the Shield for oh, I don't know,
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: ten or twelve years now. It's one of my top
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: three all time favorite shows. It's fucking great and it
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: was very kind of cutting edge for its time. So
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: it came out and season one did in two thousand
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: and two, and it's just even the way it was filmed,
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: you know, very gritty cop drama on FX about a
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: team of cops out of a fictional a fictional police
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: precinct out in California. It's based on or inspired by
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: a true story. If you look it up, you know
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: Crooked Cops. Basically really really good show. Devin from NJ
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: buy er Cell doing TNT with jd or hosting Mob
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Movie Mondays with Joseph Stewart. Oh TNT all the way
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: well now, says gonna have to watch a Dynamite next
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: week to see serie. I hope she goes far in
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: this year. Could have some fucking sick matches with anybody.
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: I mean, she'll I mean maybe go as far as
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: who's she wrestling. She's wrestling a skybullet. Well, she's going
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: to at least the semis. I don't see her going
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: beyond that though, hopefully she's healed up with her neck.
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: Justin g just paying my sorry, I'm late tax. What's
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: the goal? The goal was already smashed? Do you have
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: to worry about that? The bonus goal is still going
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: in the chat, but the goal was already met. And
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: then we have Alex says is Triple H in danger
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: of dropping the ball with Mariah May just one of
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: those rare talents that should immediately be in the main
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: events scene. She doesn't have to immediately be in the
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: main events scene. You cannot say that he's dropped the
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: ball with Mariah May when she literally has not even
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: made a proper debut on TV yet. So let's pump
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: the brakes. Let's pump the brakes and give her some time.
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: She'll be okay. I trust that she'll be okay. She's
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: very talented and she's very sexy, and those are two
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: very good qualities to have that I think bode well
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: for her success on the main roster. We just have
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: to give it time for her to actually make a
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: proper debut, which she still has not done yet. She's
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: still coming. She has not yet come, but she's coming.
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: She has not arrived yet. Officially, she kind of did.
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: She was in a backstage segment for like fifteen seconds
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago. I don't really count that as
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: a debut though. Anyway, thank you well again. The goal,
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: as you could see here from the wheel, was three
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: point fifty, and we are currently sitting at what are
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: we sitting at? Why can't I see it here? It
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: is four sixty six. Look at that. Alex says, apparently
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: Chris van Vliet is going to interview heiden Reich. Yes,
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: that is coming up on June eleventh, is when the
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: interview is being uploaded. I'm sure they'll talk about that
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: segment with Michael Cole and oh, Joseph Stewart is back
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: because I'm back Solemn Monster with breaking new is Carmen Electra?
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: Is that the new scary movie premiere? See we get
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: the important breaking news here. I don't even know what
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: Carmen Electra has been doing for the last ten years.
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: Is she still doing movie stuff? Alex says, Julia is
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: very talented and look what he has done with her.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: I do not trust him. What Yeah, but Mariah May
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: speaks English and Julia does not, or she actually does,
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: but like it's not her first language, and so it's
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: gonna work against her. I mean, I'm sorry to say it,
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: but like that will that will work against her, and
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: it has worked against her, and it sucks, but that's
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: the way it is. And so Mariah May is already
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: in a much better position just because of that, like
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: promo wise, communicating with the audience. It's a lot easier
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: for her than it is for Julia. That's gonna work
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: to her advantage in a way that it won't for Julia.
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: That shouldn't be a reason to not push Julia. But
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: I'm just telling it. I'm just telling you something that
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: you already know. It's gonna work against her in a
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: way that it will not work against Blake Monroe. Joseph says,
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: is the Undertaker versus Raven a dream match that you
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: would like to see? Because I would have loved to
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: have seen that match. No, I think nineteen ninety seven,
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight Raven against Undertaker could have been a
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: fun program dream match. No, no, it's not a dream
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: match for me. All right, let's let's get ready here
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: because we got one round coming our way on a
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: Wednesday night. Guess what it is time to celebrate the
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: next win with be the booker. Ladies and gentlemen, it
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: is now time to be I may have to add
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson to be the booker here. We land on
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: Tyrese Halliburton. That's an automatic end to be the booker,
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: and we can put Jalen Brunson in there. Okay, I'm
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: a fan of some old school tag team wrestling. Let's
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: see what we can come up with here. Oh, I
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: don't know. I'm looking at one of the arguably some
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: people might even say the greatest pro wrestler of all time.
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: But he's certainly in the conversation in Terry Funk. And
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: to his left, Cactus Jack, the former tag team champions,
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: are kicking us off here and be the booker. Cactus
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: Jack now works for Tony Kah. They are gonna be
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: taking a William Regal and as stone Cold Steve Auston
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: used to call him Tai Jerry always just to pop me,
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: Tai Jerry, the Japanese buzz Tay Jerry. What a terrible
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: t shirt? Look at that T shirt Regal is wearing.
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: It's got the brass knucks born naughty. Who would buy that?
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: It's a T shirt that says born naughty and it's
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: got a fucking picture of brass knuckles on them. And
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: who's gonna walk around wearing that? All right, women's be
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: the booker. Oh no, it is all red everything. She
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: has arrived. She has made her debut. Well it's not
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: her debut, but let's pretend that it is her debut
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: and the booker it is even Marie. I was given
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: to the big build up. There all read everything, even Marie. Okay,
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: everyone's buzzing in the chat. I haven't even picked the
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: opponent yet. You don't even want to give it a chance.
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: You see you jump the gun. Even Marie against Eosky.
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: Eosky can make anything better. If anybody can bring even
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: Marie to a respectable match, it is this woman here,
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: and with any hope and any luck, this image right
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: here that you see on your screen is going to
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: be what we see in Minneapolis at Summer Slim this
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: year and now our main event. Ah, look away, look away.
- 1:40:14Speaker 1: It is the Painmaker. He has arrived. Chris Jericho, the painmaker.
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: You know, he saw those images of CM Punk at
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: the gym and he wanted to one up him. Look
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: at him, Look at this. Look at this sexy beast
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: flexing those muscles, look at those pecks. The painmaker. It
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: is the image that causes great pain. It is the
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: Painmaker against Bam Bam Bigelow. Now, if this was almost
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: any other version of Chris Jericho, this would be an
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: automatic bell. But I have to I have to think
- 1:41:05Speaker 1: about this. Now. I'm gonna give it the bell because
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: it is it is still. It is still. Uh, it's
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: a sweet It is still Jericho and Jericho and Bambam
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: is is a good match. I'm just not sure. I'm
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: not sure about the painmaker though, the one that we
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: saw there in that image. Why is Bam Bam still
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: not in the Hall of Fame? It's terrible. keV says,
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: two super heavyweights going guy, Yes, a super heavyweight made
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: event there. Jericho had a bulk up for the match.
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: Now it all makes sense. Well, there you go. You
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: got yourself a clean sweep and be the booker. We
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: came close to the bonus call. We didn't quite hit
- 1:42:01Speaker 1: it seven out of ten. We almost got around two,
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: but we had a respectable showing tonight. Joseph has not
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: done yet. Joseph says where did Raven come up with
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: his character and the idea of Raven's flock? I don't
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: know where Raven came up with the idea. I'm sure
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: it was inspired by something. I just don't know. I mean,
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: maybe Kurt Cobain. Maybe, I don't know. It's a good question.
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: I don't have a good answer for you. Says also,
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: which batman villain do you think Carmen Electra would have
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: been good as Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy or Talia
- 1:42:51Speaker 1: al Goole. Carmen Electra. I mean a younger Carmen Electra
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: could have worked. I think as poison ivy. I think
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: the first time I ever saw Carmen Electra is when
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: they added her to that old MTV show Singled Out.
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: I think she replaced Jenny McCarthy, didn't she lost. Dill says,
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: you've been live earlier than usual, so I haven't been
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: able to catch you. But what the hell is WWE
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: doing with Joe Hendry? It's been a month, a month
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: and a week and no entrance, music, no singles, match, nothing,
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: nothing is what they're doing with him. They don't seem
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: to know what they want to do with him. They've
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: completely dropped the ball so far with Joe Hendry, Like
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: the entrance is a big part of his whole act,
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: and the fact that he hasn't had a single proper
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: entrance on the show since debuting is criminal and it
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: just shows me that they just have no They have
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: no idea on what to do with him at the moment,
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: which begs the question, then I don't know why he
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: was called up in the first place if he didn't
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: know what the fuck to do with him, and you
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: didn't have a real role for him on the show.
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: Then why are you using him as fodder during the
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: commercial breaks to sing some shitty song to Logan Paul,
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: who isn't even on TV anymore because now he's hurt
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: and so he got killed off by Austin theory. That
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: was their grand idea on how to introduce Joe Henry
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: to the main roster. The creative geniuses over there at
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: the old WWE headquarters, Ladies and gentlemen hard at work. Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph.
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: I'll get to you in a second. First we got
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: to go to EJ. Slump. I hate asking this, but
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: if alive today, would TKO have fired Blassy, Monsoon, Fink
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: and other lifers. I respect Vince honoring that promise. If
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: Vince was there, no, If Vince was not there, yes,
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: nobody would be safe. But there are certain people like
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: Blassie and Monsoon who I think Vince's father told him
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: to make sure you take care of certain people, and
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: I believe he would have regardless. T KO doesn't give
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: a shit. They don't care about a single one of
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: those people you just named, or they wouldn't if they
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: were still there. Try Chickens, says Cactus, Jack and Terry
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: funk against Regal into Jerry, and the loser has to
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: pay solemn monsters. Bartab I'm telling you it's a great
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: tag team management. It really is Batman Jurassic aka Joseph Stewart.
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: Did you know that there were two ideas that have
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: Billy d Williams in Batman returns as Harvey Dent and
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: have him turn into two Face, which almost involved Jack
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: Nicholson returning as the Joker. I just I marvel. I
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: never fail to marvel at your Batman knowledge. I think
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: you should work on I think you should direct your
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: own Batman movie. I think you should try to take
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: a stab at writing a script for a Batman movie,
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: because it would be like a passion project. It just would.
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: The attention to detail would be second to none. You
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: have a knowledge and just a depth of knowledge of
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: these characters that even I don't have. Christian Bale was
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: in talks to play Robin as well. I can see that.
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: I can't. I cannot imagine that Christian Bale's like the
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: alpha male, Like he ain't playing a second fiddle to
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: Batman in the movie. He's either Batman or he's the
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: main villain or he ain't in the movie. Morris has
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: thought Tonight's Dynamite was incredible. It was a good show.
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. Some great wrestling and there was a
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: lot going on. And also Joseph says, have a good night,
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: solemn monster, thank you for everything, and have a blessed
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: day today. Joseph, same to you. Right back at you,
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: my friend, right back at you, a crazy fist. Why
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: would I not be live? He says, You're still alive?
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: I go, are you asking me if I'm alive? Or
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: am I live? I'm typically live on Wednesdays. I know
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: sometimes we wrap up after an hour and we're approaching
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: two hours here. That's what happens when you have a
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: good Dynamite show to really kind of sink your teeth
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: into and then you get a lot of questions and
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: a lot of support. This is how it should always be.
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: Ej says, I'm so glad Fink never went to WCW
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: like me and Jean and Heenan. It just would have
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: felt wrong. I'm glad he didn't. Also, just because he
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: was still the primary voice through the end of the
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: nineties and into the beginning of the two thousands. Lilian
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: came in towards the end of ninety nine. She wasn't
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: the primary voice though right away. So I'm glad that,
- 1:48:16Speaker 1: you know, we had him for the entire time. But
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: if the timeline would have worked out a little bit
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: differently and Vince started to phase him down the way
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: that he did, then I would have loved to have
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: seen him do ring announcing somewhere else, because I mean,
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: as long as he was in that spot, for he
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: was never like fully valued and truly valued and respected.
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: I just you look at the way that he was
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: treated there towards the end. I don't mean like the
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: very end, when he was having health issues, clearly he
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: I mean he gained a lot of weight and he
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: couldn't really be out there doing it anymore. Well, like
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: when Vince faced him down in favor of Lily and Garcia,
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: because you know, he didn't look good in a fucking bikini.
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: I don't need to see Howard Finkel in a bikini.
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: What a horrible vision, by the way, but you know
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: that's what they were going for. They wanted the younger,
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: attractive female announcer, and they wanted a phase down the
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: old the old voice, right, and get rid of that.
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, he's still the best fucking
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: ring announcer in the history of the business, and you
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: have that iconic voice. Why would you phase that down?
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: Why would you get rid of that? Those are all
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: your messages. I hope I did my best to answer them.
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: We had a good show tonight. The next time I
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: will be live with you here will be on Friday.
- 1:49:51Speaker 1: EJ says, I missed one of his messages. Let's see,
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: I did. I missed two of them. Actually, no, I
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: missed three of them. How did I miss three? Dry
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: Chicken says even Marie against EO Sky Al Bundy as
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: the referee. Al Bundy is in be the booker Joseph
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: Joseph lives. There was one Joseph I missed. Did you
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: know Leonardo DiCaprio almost played, almost played Robin in Batman forever?
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: I did not know that? And EJ says, would you
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: consider Nick Bockwinkle and Bobby Eaton among the biggest stars
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: to never work for WWE, not counting training or retirement appearances? Yeah,
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: I mean they would be. Bobby Eaton wouldn't be the
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: biggest Bockwinkle though I think that's fair. I think that's fair.
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: Dry chicken, says Vince McMahon against God is a guilty pleasure. Yeah,
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: I don't have any interest in ever going back to
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: relive to relive those days, the good old days of
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: two thousand and six. Yeah, no, thank you, I'm good.
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: But what I was going to say is Friday is
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: SmackDown in Bologna, Italy. So again, if you're international, or
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: if you're going to watch with your VPN, you should
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: be able to watch the show earlier, depending on what
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: region that you're in, and I will be watching a
- 1:51:33Speaker 1: little bit later. I think what I may do is
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: I'm not going to wait to watch the USA version,
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: but I'll I'll probably end up watching the show around
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: the same time, like eight PM, but I'll probably I'll
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: probably watch it elsewhere so I can kind of get
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: through it a little bit quicker and cut out the
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: commercial breaks, and then I might be able to go
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: live a little bit earlier. So we're going to go
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: live probably in that ten to eleven PM range, hopefully
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: closer to ten than eleven. We could avoid the beginning
- 1:52:01Speaker 1: of the basketball game. But also I'm going to the
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: movie that we talked about earlier in the afternoon, and
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: so I'd rather just do that than watch smack Down
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: at two o'clock in the afternoon. That doesn't really interest me.
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: I want to say, I've been looking forward to this
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: movie for a while. It's Masters of the Universe movie.
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: So that's what I will be doing on Friday, and
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: then when we get that done, we'll go live later
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: on in the evening. So at some point after eight
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: or nine or ten, I will be live here on YouTube.
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: Hopefully you will be there with me, and we'll talk
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: about SmackDown. TNA Slammiversary this month only has twelve hundred
- 1:52:43Speaker 1: tickets sold out. Well, what venue are they in? Don't
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: tell me they're not back at ubs right what? You
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: gotta give context here, though, What venue were they in
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: at the end of the two thousands seat venue? Because
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: twelve hundred tickets into two thousand seat venue is not bad.
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: If they're in a building that fits ten thousand, then
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: that's terrible. Context is key. There's a lot of wrestling
- 1:53:13Speaker 1: that day. By the way, Slammiversary is the same day
- 1:53:16Speaker 1: as the NXT Great American Bass Show and aw Forbidden Door.
- 1:53:22Speaker 1: TNA show is at three o'clock in the afternoon though,
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: so there's no direct competition there. They're in an eight
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: thousand seat venue. Okay, well that's that's not good. That's
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: actually quite terrible. Anyway, be well, stay safe, have yourselves
- 1:53:42Speaker 1: a great night. All you Knicks fans out there, Enjoy,
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: enjoy the celebration. That was a hell of a win.
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: I gotta go check out the end of the game myself.
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: I know it was very close there for a while
- 1:53:50Speaker 1: and then they kind of pulled away there at the end,
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: so I want to go see how that all played out.
- 1:53:56Speaker 1: But it'll be there be there'll be a lot of
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: smiling faces, I'm sure in New York tomorrow. So enjoy
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: and I'll see you back here on Friday for more
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: sound off. Until then, take care, guys,
