Hello and welcome to episode 25 of Brothers Grappas, the only
0:18
show that will have someone dressed in a dragon onesie
0:22
trying to sweat a wrestling hold out.
0:28
This week we are looking at Future Shock Wrestling Lotto
0:34
Thunder 2026. I am your host, Petter Brothers,
0:43
our Petter, our brothers, whichever, I don't care.
0:46
I don't feel well, but we're going to plough through this.
0:53
So obviously last Sunday or a couple Sundays now.
1:00
So at the Stockport Guildhall Future Shock Wrestling putting
1:06
on Lotto Thunder 2026, where we saw the following participants,
1:14
Pele, Danny Hope, HC Drake, Dynamite, Lee Dawson, Helen
1:23
McCall, Josh Easy Morgan and Nay J So we will run through what
1:36
happened in the qualifying matches because I'll be honest,
1:41
I want to keep this slightly brief because I have a couple
1:45
more podcasts I have to record this week.
1:49
So the opening, well let's kind of the premise if you like of
2:01
Lotto Fund is eight. I will even show you.
2:08
So you will have 8 cards. It's like Blue Peter, here's who
2:19
I have already. So you have 8 cards and 1 by 1.
2:29
They will ask a child or a fan in the crowd and and select one
2:35
of the cards at random between 1:00 and 8:00.
2:39
So obviously for the purposes of this, because I have two cards,
2:45
you'll need to imagine, use your imagination.
2:49
So if, say, someone opted to go for #2 which my camera is
2:59
flipped, so I'm going to say that's going to be #2 that would
3:04
be Scott Olbermann. And then another person would be
3:11
asked at random and they would go obviously #1 because it's all
3:17
you have. And that would turn out to be
3:21
facing Daddy proper. So that's kind of how things
3:26
work. So I can't remember what kind of
3:31
like numbers they were, mainly because I have a slut life and I
3:38
say that while we're dressed as a dragon.
3:42
So the first match was Pele taking on Danny Hope.
3:50
All these matches seem to run pretty quickly, obviously just
3:57
due to how many matches were on this show.
4:00
So you have to kind of run through matches pretty quickly
4:05
when it's a tournament. So Pele and Hope and Pele
4:12
obviously the big fan favourite, favourite in this match, Danny
4:19
Hope, who turned his back on his long time best friend in Joey
4:27
Hayes that came back in December and also coincided with Declan
4:34
McCarthy winning the men's future shock title.
4:40
So going into this, obviously the entire room, barring one or
4:46
two people were cheering for Deck.
4:50
Sorry, we're cheering for Danny Hope.
4:51
What am I talking about? It's the ill, it's the illness
4:54
in me. Good opener.
5:00
Nothing really kind of like flashing any of of the
5:07
qualifying matches if truth be told, because you have to kind
5:11
of rush through things. Hope having struggled to get
5:17
into the contest early doors with a couple members of the
5:22
crowd chanting Baldy and Daddy. Hope looking throughout the
5:28
crowd over bald men and trying to gain the enthusiasm and
5:36
strength from fellow bald people in the crowd.
5:43
Technically I look like a monk with my hair at the moment, so I
5:47
don't know which bracket I'd fall in.
5:51
As it was, Danny Hope had control for a good portion of
5:56
this contest, and just when it looked like Danny Hope was
6:02
moments away from winning and advancing, we had the music of
6:09
Joey Hayes starting up and that led to Danny Hope being slightly
6:18
distracted. You could say Danny just saying
6:22
he's not here, he wasn't, but we don't, but we don't say that.
6:29
This then led to Hope going to hit a move.
6:33
Pele would reverse this, picking up the victory and advancing.
6:40
So we have one in the semi finals.
6:45
Match two saw HT Drake making a return of sorts against Dynamite
6:53
Lee Dawson. This is almost a kind of like a
6:59
comeback for both. You could have said Drake, who
7:05
will sporadically kind of like appear from time to time.
7:11
Lee, who I've said numerous times and has almost felt like
7:16
the forgotten man and will also sporadically appear on a card.
7:25
This was a really good contest though Dynamite obviously using
7:30
his speed and quickness, though technical that's the same
7:36
showing some strength in this contest, while Drake is just a
7:45
big man to say to say the least, Drake, who you could arguably
7:55
make the case, had most of this contest.
7:59
Lee kind of tried to mount a couple of comebacks but always
8:04
seemed to be kind of like cut off and we had Drake who would
8:08
bring his bottle of water down, spraying the crowd, giving them
8:12
a shower. We would then have Drake go for
8:17
his bottle, having Dawson in a almost a camel clutch position.
8:28
Drake could take a swig, a large swig of water, let it drip from
8:34
his mouth on the head of Dawson with a few people shouting
8:40
scruff, which I did find quite funny, then just pouring more
8:45
water on top of his head almost christening him.
8:51
We then had Lee making a comeback because that seemed to
8:56
kind of like ignite a fire which is dangerous around dynamite.
9:03
Lee then went to hit the powder keg DDT, but when trying to lift
9:08
his opponent onto the top rope to hit it, Drake used those long
9:14
levers called legs to get on the other side of the ropes, causing
9:20
Dynamite to kind of like just turn around, disorientate him
9:25
and have Drake hitting a like a jumping code breaker, which was
9:32
it was a it was a nice move. I don't think it got all of it
9:38
because I think Dynamite might have been a bit further than it
9:42
was, but it still did the job. Drake ends up taking the
9:47
victory, sprays Dynamite a bit more, sprays the crowd a bit
9:52
more and sees him advancing to the semi finals.
10:00
Third match was Tom McCall and Josh Easy, technically a
10:06
Liverpool Derby. This I would arguably say this
10:13
was the the fun match of the free Tom I am a massive fan of
10:23
have been for a long time now. So seeing him in a singles role,
10:31
which is you don't see very often, especially Future Shock
10:36
at least and going up against one of the rookies of Future
10:41
Shock in Josh Easy, who for someone that has not been doing
10:49
this for too long, it does not show all he is very.
11:00
I don't think I have seen a rookie have so many good matches
11:07
for such little time that he has been on a show.
11:13
It has really been fun to watch. Kind of like Josh's progression
11:18
and I feel I will continue to feel that way.
11:24
The match itself, this kind of went back and forth quite a fair
11:31
bit. Josh hitting some nice moves you
11:37
could actually make the case of went to the well a few times too
11:43
often. Tom who more experienced of the
11:48
two kind of like knew when to capitalise.
11:54
He's kind of like dropkick through the ropes to Josh's kind
12:00
of one of my little guilty pleasure moves if truth be told.
12:08
Hits, he hits. Also I will say this for Tom, he
12:12
has one of the loveliest lariats that you will see and it is
12:17
really an underrated lariat because he gets some in power in
12:24
those lariats. But in the end, it saw Tom
12:30
McCall getting the victory again, really good showing from
12:37
Josh, Tom advancing to the semi finals, and it really was out of
12:46
the three we'd seen up to that point.
12:48
I would have put that as the top match of the qualifiers match #4
12:58
if there are wrestling gods, then this one will have been put
13:03
together by him because we had Gorgon taking on AJ.
13:11
If I was writing like the show I would have probably had this as
13:15
a like a semi final if I could have cheated the system because
13:21
the lead up to this has been these two just butting heads
13:27
effectively. So a few months ago we had a
13:32
four way match I believe for the number one contendership for the
13:38
adrenaline title. On that occasion, Golkin looked
13:43
like he was going to win, Naje rolled him up for the pin, and
13:49
the leader of the Horde in Gorgon has never let this down.
13:57
Has effectively been trying to ruin Naje ever since.
14:03
When it's on. Naje and Tony Wright originally
14:07
are going to face off back in December, but Nay J was not
14:16
really fit enough. Worse for wear is probably one
14:21
term you could use. So we ended up with Gorgon and
14:24
the Horde stopping that We had a six man tag instead and the
14:31
conclusion of that contest? So Gorgon spraying missed in the
14:36
eyes of Nay J and ever since then it is felt like these two
14:44
are drawn together like magnets. So heading into this contest, I
14:56
didn't know what we're going to get.
14:59
And what we got were two men beating the crap out of each
15:03
other is effectively what we got.
15:07
And AJ made a running beeline, a Gorgon Golkan, having taken some
15:14
early offence from AJ, hit some brutal chops to the chest of his
15:23
opponent, NAJ, trying to give it equally as back.
15:31
But these two just continued to kind of like beat the hell out
15:35
of each other. It was a brutal qualifying
15:43
match. I don't think I've seen a brutal
15:51
or a match as brutal as this for some time because it almost felt
15:58
like they both owed each of the money the way they were going at
16:02
it. And as we were kind of like
16:06
later find out to which we had Gorgon advancing to the semi
16:16
finals. Due to this contest, Gorgon had
16:23
to pull out through injury so it would see members of the Horde
16:30
taking his place on. We then had as your first half
16:38
main event for the Women's Championship or the Future Shock
16:45
Women's Championship to give it its full title.
16:48
Holly Barlow defending against a debutante to Future Shock in
16:55
Saxor. I did say the other day when I
17:01
had originally recorded this, technical issues did not allow
17:08
for that to be recorded. Saxa I have not only seen a lot
17:15
of I'd seen her previously at off the page in a rumble.
17:24
The only other really kind of like thing I'd seen highlight of
17:28
Saxa was being chopped by Big T. That's getting some recognition,
17:38
to be fair, which went viral. But I have heard like the name
17:45
Saxa and I know kind of like how good she is.
17:50
Especially Louise, who I'm good friends with, is a kind of like
17:57
an advocate of saying and watching wrestlers.
18:01
I don't see too often Will give me a little kind of like tidbits
18:06
and just highlight ones and say they're really good, not good.
18:14
But Saxor is always mentioned as one of the top kind of like
18:20
young talents Swallow. I have now seen her twice.
18:25
So my opinion I had has changed in a good way.
18:32
I'll stress that. So the start of this match felt
18:38
a bit, it felt a bit off, but not in a bad way.
18:47
I think this is how they were going.
18:51
So Sasa, who was the heel? I don't really want to use the
18:56
word heel rule breaker in this contest.
19:00
Holly, who is the lovable bubbly character character.
19:07
It's not really a character, it's her.
19:11
She kind of like had the better of things early doors done her
19:17
usual kind of like gets tricked but then does the whole pretty
19:25
kind of thing. Tell Saxer to try harder.
19:31
This then leads to the match really kind of like getting
19:34
started. Saxa begins to get some offence
19:38
in, Holly will equally get some offence and kind of like battle
19:44
back. So Holly always felt like she
19:47
was a step ahead of Saxa, but Saxa was very much impressive on
19:55
this display. I wouldn't say fully back and
20:03
forth. I'd say Holly had more of this
20:07
match than than Saxa. That said, it was still a really
20:13
good performance from the challenger.
20:19
Ended up with Holly retaining the title would be Barlow
20:23
Stunner. Holly retains after the match.
20:30
Well, I will slightly rewind or do a Craig David and some of the
20:40
kind of like character work from Saxa playing to the crowd and
20:47
shouting, telling people to, I'm being distracted, shut up, I'm
20:54
trying to work here. I thought she did a really good
20:58
job because there have been times where you will have
21:05
matches where the crowd will get into it because of whoever's in
21:11
the match. But they can also lose a crowd
21:17
very quickly if it feels a bit monotonous or it's not really
21:22
kind of like Catching Fire. However, where it felt early on
21:30
like the the crowd slightly were tuning out, I feel Saxa did a
21:39
great job at bringing the crowd back into it.
21:45
Equally so did Holly. But I think you do need the,
21:49
I've nearly said the word again, the rule breaker to kind of get
21:56
the crowd involved as much as the fun favourite.
22:02
Both did a really good job at getting the crowd back in.
22:05
I thought much. I really enjoyed it.
22:11
Nothing bad I can say about it. I would definitely love to see
22:16
this kind of like replay down the line because I think these
22:22
two definitely put on well. It wasn't a bad match.
22:29
I think these two could. I think they'd like to rerun it
22:34
a bit, I feel. But yeah, I really enjoyed this.
22:41
Everyone, I think did. By the time the match finished.
22:45
After the contest, Holly offered Saxa a hand of friendship and
22:52
sportsmanship. Saxa shook her hand.
22:57
Which normally means when that happens that we may see on a
23:04
return a kind of fan favourite change.
23:08
But we we will see what we will see.
23:12
Also, please bring Saxa back to future shock.
23:16
Please. So we then came to the
23:21
second-half of the show as Pele took on Tom Mccool in the first
23:31
semi final. I have it in my notes as the
23:35
first semi final. This was arguably my favourite
23:43
match of the day. It was a it had a very chaotic
23:51
ending. The main bulk of it was pretty
23:58
much kind of Tom taking it to Pele, Pele really trying to kind
24:06
of like force a way back. But I think what this did was
24:11
it's shown that Tomo, Tomo Tom is such a good hand.
24:20
He really, he really did impress me in this tournament because I
24:27
always feel with certain people in like tag teams, they get kind
24:33
of like underlooked or underrated as a singles
24:41
wrestler. While Tom is 1/2 of the tag team
24:46
champions in FTM, he's kind of just being a singles wrestler.
24:56
I think he definitely has like a future, kind of like down the
25:01
line. He has the charisma, he can
25:07
talk, talking to the crowd, and some of the verbal jousting that
25:15
McCall had had did honestly have me in stitches at times where he
25:23
was told to to go home. And Tom's reply was, yeah, I
25:30
will after I win this, which I thought was a great retort.
25:37
There was a couple of kind of like chants that came at Tom and
25:42
bless him, he had a reply for everything.
25:46
But I guess you could say that's kind of like the Scouse wit as
25:50
well. But yeah, fair play to Tom on
25:57
kind of like engaging Pele, just kind of like the plucky babyface
26:05
in in all these. A really good contest.
26:11
Felt like it was a bit back and forth, which it was.
26:15
Pele would have kind of like spells but Tom would always be
26:19
there to kind of like stop him the back end I loved so much and
26:27
a lot will probably have seen this online.
26:32
So the match spilled to the outside while people kind of
26:40
message me. Hello Mike, it's you that's
26:47
making the phone, but I'm going off attention here anyway.
26:53
They are fighting on the outside, heading through the
26:57
crowd towards the now infamous Stockport Guildhall back door.
27:05
That's probably not the right time of phrase, but I'm going to
27:08
stay with that anyhow. So it looked for all the world
27:13
that Tom was going to throw Prince Pele out and lock him out
27:19
because we have seen this happen at Stockport in the past and
27:25
even at the the MMU, which I think is where we actually saw
27:30
it the last time going way back. So it ended with Tom going to
27:39
throw Pele out. Pele would reverse it, throwing
27:44
McCall through the back door, locking the fire exit, slowly
27:52
making his way to ringside to what seemed like an anti
27:57
climactic count out win. So we got to the countervate.
28:03
Pele's on the on the ring apron does his kind of little spin
28:10
back into the ring. However, Tom had managed to run
28:16
round, come through the curtain, dash into the ring and the
28:21
picture perfect way that Pele had kind of like done.
28:30
His return to the entrance and Tom running at Pele at the same
28:35
time made for a perfect kind of RKO or stunner, whichever you
28:41
want to. I think it's smaller on RKO.
28:44
It was so picture perfect I just can't explain.
28:53
I think we then had Pele punch Tom with glitter.
29:00
I can't fully remember this because I'm not quite sure how
29:04
to help you with that and Alexa who can't help me either.
29:10
So I ended up with Pele pinning Tom McCall.
29:17
I remember how he pinned him though.
29:20
The replay of the old video that I post will explain what
29:25
happened. But Pele pins Tom McCall.
29:30
Pele with a complete look of shock and amazement on his face
29:35
because he's qualified. So we have one person in the
29:40
final who would Pele meet at the final of Lotto Thunder.
29:48
So the remaining semi was HT Drake originally going to take
29:55
on Gorgon, but obviously Gorgon pulling out.
30:01
We had Haley Cooling and Seraphin coming out.
30:07
Both hit around the sides of the entrance that they come out of.
30:14
And I had made the point that if I was Drake, I would probably
30:20
come through the other way and come through the main entrance
30:24
of the building and through the side entrance and run into the
30:28
rink. And that's what happened.
30:33
Drake dashes into the ring, looking around, does not seeing
30:38
an opponent, looks outside the ring where both members of the
30:43
horde are just in kind of Why haven't you come through this
30:48
way? What are you doing?
30:52
And then Drake grabs a microphone and says, Do you
30:56
think I'm stupid? Why?
30:58
Why have Why are you there when you should be in here?
31:02
Were you trying to jump me? And then Drake, who felt more
31:07
like a fan favourite in this contest or an inbetweener at
31:12
least, decided to jump out the ring, go to attack both, but
31:20
ended up being attacked himself, Bro Seraphin into the ring where
31:26
referee Reese would stop him and says no no no no no he's not the
31:31
legal man. And then Drake just went well
31:35
who is then sees Hayley Cooling, jumps back out, beats him up a
31:41
bit more, throws him in and this contest starts off.
31:48
And in fairness this was, it wasn't really much of A contest
31:55
to be fair, it felt not a squash, but it felt towards that
31:59
way. Cooling did try to get some
32:05
offence in, but it wasn't a whole lot if you'd be told had
32:11
little flickers of offence. Drake was always kind of too
32:18
powerful, Ended up doing again the water spot with taking a
32:25
drink of water, drooling it onto Cooling's head, pouring water on
32:33
him and would go on to hit that kind of flying code breaker for
32:41
the 123, setting up a Pele versus Drake final.
32:48
So that was one match step. I think as this tournament kind
32:54
of went on, you you felt that's where we were going to go.
32:59
But again, no one was was disappointed.
33:04
That was a solid match. It did it.
33:08
It did what it needed to do is a term that I've heard somewhere
33:12
and that's pretty much sums up our pre.
33:21
Well, not pre, what's the word? Penultimate match of the show
33:27
was a six man contest with Troy Ryan teaming up with Slamulans,
33:34
that being Slam Johnson and Doctor Proctor as they took on
33:40
the McCarthy Performance Centre in Dec McCarthy, the Monster,
33:47
Kong and Aziz. Now this effectively you felt we
33:56
were going to go down the lines of Slam and McAfee trying to
34:05
build build up their match at the Fairfield on March 1st, but
34:15
I'll kind of come to that a bit later on.
34:20
So we started off with Troy Ryan for his team.
34:25
Originally it was going to be Kong, but then Aziz, who either
34:30
had a lot of sugar or something, said no, no, no, I'll start,
34:37
I'll start, I'll start and dead King Kong.
34:40
Just looking, kind of looking at each moment, you're going OK,
34:47
just in shock almost as to say OK and effectively just saw as
34:58
he's getting beat up by both Troy Ryan and Slambulans.
35:05
One move I did love as he's doing is where Slambulans tried
35:10
to do a double team. They whipped him into the ropes
35:15
as he's held on to the rope very, very slowly, kind of like
35:21
let the ring. However, reversing and walking
35:26
back into Troy, Ryan who is a man mounted himself, lifted
35:35
disease up easily throwing him through the ropes and just
35:41
effectively had Samlins have their way with him.
35:45
In a sense, McCarthy and Kong just looked so lost in thinking
35:53
what the hell is he doing? Deck was not happy obviously
35:58
being the head trainer as he felt Aziz was embarrassing him
36:03
and made this very much well known.
36:07
Taking him to one side, having words with him saying you're
36:12
embarrassing me, pick up your game, slap across the face to
36:18
give him kind of that little G up.
36:21
Got back in, got immediately knocked back down again.
36:28
Ended up though tagging out where we saw Kong and Deck
36:33
getting their lumps in. Then it kind of broke down a bit
36:40
with Doctor Proctor as my voice begins to go, but as we had
36:48
Doctor Proctor being isolated for his team, McCarthy and Kong
36:57
and Aziz working well as a unit. Eventually though we would see
37:03
Slam getting tagged in slamming, unsurprisingly everyone in the
37:09
contest and the match kind of just all over the place in a
37:19
good way. To which we then had Aziz and
37:26
McAfee I believe it was going oh sorry.
37:31
Before that we had Kong and Slam in the ring, 2 meaty men
37:38
slapping meat, basically just ploughing into each other and
37:46
for the first couple of times no man budged.
37:51
At the third time Kong seemed to just waver a bit, but this would
37:59
just lead to the performance Centre team just knocking down
38:04
Slam a bit, getting the advantage back.
38:09
Then in the closing stages we had Aziz and McAfee looking to
38:17
hit. I think it's I want to say it's
38:20
a tenderizer that meat waggon used to use but I am thinking
38:26
it's not the actual name. I'm confusing it with the other.
38:34
But either way it had them staring at Ryan who could do
38:39
nothing at all. It did not come to pass though,
38:46
but it did end with some ambulance hitting what could be
38:51
the tenderizer where you have one man kind of like holding the
38:59
head, one man holding the legs, and you kind of spin opposite
39:04
ways and slam them down. It's annoying me how I can not
39:09
remember this. It's so annoying me but I have a
39:12
cold so I have an excuse. But ended up with them hitting a
39:19
former meat waggon move, much to the approval and joy on Troy
39:26
Ryan's face who could not hide. Kind of them hitting the move
39:33
almost like a tribute. So after the match we had Ryan
39:38
in some ambulance shouting down to McAfee and Aziz.
39:43
However, Kong, who kind of disappeared for the back end of
39:49
this match, crawled behind Ryan into the ring.
39:55
Slivering if you like, kind of just getting ready to coil and
40:04
hit an absolute spear on Troy Ryan the second time now that
40:12
Kong has hit Ryan with a spear. And it is devastating on both
40:19
occasions. Equally though during the match,
40:24
Kong hit a spear on slam. Again, there is a reason I say
40:32
Kong is a monster, because he is.
40:37
You look at him, he is intimidating as hell.
40:41
And when he hits that spear, yeah, you're not getting up.
40:47
It is one of the most impressive moves in future Shock and you
40:58
can see why. Kind of like Dex recruited him
41:00
for that group. So as I say next month, March
41:09
1st at the Fairfield Social Club, it is meant to be Henry
41:14
the Eighth slam taking on deck McAfee for the future Shock
41:20
men's title. The only thing I will say about
41:28
this match is it didn't make you really or you didn't really play
41:35
amongst Ambulance Slam and Deck. If someone had brought him in
41:45
and said right, can you tell me who is the champion and who is
41:50
going to be facing next month or where they going to for like
41:54
trying to draw it up for a title match.
42:00
I'd say arguably who'd probably be riding Kong the way it was
42:05
done, It did. They have put a video out now of
42:14
kind of slamulins talking about the title match, but there
42:19
wasn't really anything to kind of let you know that it was
42:25
going to be slamming deck for the title, which is the only
42:30
kind of like nitpickity thing I have on this contest.
42:37
They could have done that a bit better, but hey, what what do I
42:44
know? But again, that is my only
42:48
negative slant on that match. We then moved to your main event
42:57
of the contest, which was Lotto Thunder and Pele taking on HT
43:04
Drake. This was effectively again root
43:13
strength in HC Drake taking on the heart of Pele.
43:21
Drake really did kind of like have most of this match on his
43:28
on his side. Pele just refused to cave in,
43:34
stay there the entire time, stayed with it, did not back
43:38
down, hit some good moves, but it never felt like he could put
43:46
together a run because Drake always seemed to just know what
43:52
he was going to do next. Drake just being a physical
43:58
beast. Not too much I can really
44:06
mention about this contest other than the the back end where Pele
44:13
then seemed to have the momentum in the contest.
44:18
Drake picking up his water bottle spraying it in the eyes
44:23
of Drake. I think he then did hit that
44:27
code breaker on Pele or he went to hit a similar move Pele would
44:34
kick out, which annoyed Drake very much.
44:39
Went to grab the water bottle again.
44:42
Referee Reese grabbing the bottle as well.
44:46
Drake and Reese just back and forth with the bottle.
44:53
The bottle spraying in the eyes of Drake.
44:57
Pele getting some offence or hitting a couple of moves with a
45:03
a kind of like a spinning. I mean, I have mentioned this
45:13
before, but I cannot remember the move I actually thought to
45:19
call it because I don't know if Pele has actually decided on
45:24
what it's called. But as you'll see from the
45:30
video, he hits that particular move where he kind of gets the
45:37
the arm and almost does like a forward roll but it's like a
45:41
side on code red in a way. But Pele wins Lotto Thunder
45:48
champion for 2026. First person to celebrate with
45:54
him was James Grayson who I originally thought was someone
45:59
trying to jump him until I realised who it was.
46:04
So Gen One, celebrate loads of hugs.
46:10
James Greenwood, who was not reffing tonight, He was our MC
46:16
for the night. So we then had Grayson Greenwood
46:23
with three kind of folders. We had a black folder which I
46:32
think was for the men's title A, I think it was a blue one for
46:40
the adrenaline. I think it might have been
46:42
yellow for the tag titles or green.
46:45
I can't, it's been too long. So we then have Pele having to
46:52
decide what route he's going to take.
46:56
Gets the microphone. Genuinely seems caught out by
47:01
the reaction that the fans gave him for winning as he was in
47:06
tears as a few people were in the crowd.
47:10
To be fair, he then runs through his options.
47:15
He says that Deck is running through future and someone needs
47:20
to stop him. The Adrenaline title, which is
47:24
held by his kind of Big Brother in Tony Wright the tag team
47:30
titles, is something that he and Grayson have been fighting for
47:35
for ages, and it's about time that they get what they deserve.
47:45
However, he opted to go so. There's only really one thing I
47:51
really need to do. We'll take on the future Shop
48:11
Men's champion. However.
48:19
However, on the 1st March of Fairfield Social Club take up
48:23
the company, we'll be defending our belts against Slum Johnson
48:27
Stone on March 13th at the end of you time while the Men's
48:32
Championship shot it's either Slam Johnson or Declan McCarthy.
48:39
He opted to go for the men's championship and had a really
48:45
weird atmosphere with the crowd thinking, oh he should have gone
48:52
for the tag titles and had Grayson a bit stunned.
49:02
Not very. He wasn't pleased but he had a
49:10
look of his sad. I'm trying to think of the word
49:18
and words currently escaping me. He looked a bit crestfallen that
49:26
Pele had opted for the solo title.
49:31
However, you can make the point that things like this do not
49:36
come along too often and having the choice of any title going
49:46
for the men's title is something he may not get another chance to
49:50
do. So therefore it it seems a good
49:56
decision. They're not the tag titles.
50:00
They can always kind of like come back to.
50:06
But Grayson, who for a time looked really kind of unhappy
50:12
and shocked at the decision, then kind of seemed to come
50:15
round to it, poked him, seemed to think, OK, I I understand
50:23
even though a lot of the crowd were not happy, they all thought
50:27
Pele should have gone for the tag titles.
50:30
But I can't remember when it is. See if I can find it on my
50:39
schedule, which I would imagine is going to be, I think it's
50:49
March 28th, I believe at the MMU in Manchester.
51:00
March the 28th, I think is when Pele will face the winner of Eva
51:07
Dec McCarthy and Henry the eighth, Sam Johnson on March the
51:14
1st. So whatever comes of that, Pele
51:20
will be there to space whoever is the champion effectively.
51:28
But yeah, that is going to be interesting to see what happens
51:33
with that. Now one question I have seen is
51:38
a Gen one. OK, I've I think they are, but
51:48
it probably has a Band-Aid or plaster over there.
51:55
But again, we will see what happens in the future, right.
52:03
So that is the end of your future shock.
52:07
Look back. It was a really fun show.
52:13
I can believe one of the best shows they've done this year.
52:18
If truth be told. It was nice also to see
52:24
pencilled in Nikki and pencilled in Mike with Ben and Little and
52:30
because I don't see them all that often.
52:33
Plus we haven't podcasted for a while.
52:36
So hopefully that is rectified because if truth be told, if not
52:44
for them to, I probably would not be doing this podcast now.
52:48
So I have AI have a lot to be thankful for because of them.
52:56
So the plans for this week is I'm going to try and do a TNT
53:03
look back from the other week with miles who is nearing up my
53:10
unofficial Co host. We again we should have done
53:14
this last week. Trying to get a time for both of
53:20
us was not really that good. Also I was at wrestling shows so
53:27
I couldn't particularly solve that either.
53:32
So we're looking at sometime this week and TNT special and
53:39
the back end of the week we will have a Salford City Wrestling
53:44
review with hopefully 2 very special guests too that you have
53:52
heard on on here in the in the past.
53:57
So that is exciting because the Salford show this past past
54:04
Friday I should say, was a really good show.
54:11
Well, kind of top more Salford at the back end of this week.
54:18
I would say if you go into a wrestling show, enjoy it, but I
54:23
don't think there's many this week, but I think Infinite
54:29
holding one at the brewery, the former home of Atomic Wrestling
54:36
in Liverpool. So if you can afford it and if
54:40
you can go, I highly recommend going.
54:45
I will get to an infinite show sometime.
54:49
The card looks really good though I don't have it with me
54:54
personally because again, I don't have the best memory hence
55:02
why I have to film a lot just so I can remember because I'm a
55:05
decrepit age of. But other than that, I thank you
55:12
very, very much for listening or watching, and well done for
55:19
getting through however long this episode has of me dressed
55:25
in a dragon onesie. Well done to you as I'm sweating
55:35
myself away in this costume for me, absolute eater going off at
55:42
the side of me. But yes, enjoy your wrestling,
55:53
have a good rest of your week. Stay safe.
56:01
I will catch you on an episode very.
