Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / AEW Grand Slam Australia 2026 Review | MJF Gets His CHALLENGER For Revolution!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Tonight was a very special edition of AW Collision, which
- 0:04Speaker 1: is the reason why I am live tonight here on
- 0:06Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Not normal that you would see me here
- 0:09Speaker 1: for a Collision review, but this was Grand Slam Australia,
- 0:14Speaker 1: so it's not just any regular Collision. And we had
- 0:19Speaker 1: an AW World Championship match in the main event with
- 0:21Speaker 1: MJF defending his title against Brody King. We had a
- 0:24Speaker 1: number one contenders match to find out who would be
- 0:27Speaker 1: going to Revolution to challenge the champion. We all know
- 0:31Speaker 1: it's going to be MJF at Revolution, and we had,
- 0:36Speaker 1: you know, on paper, looked like a pretty solid card.
- 0:38Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, we'll go live tonight
- 0:41Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the show. I don't know how
- 0:44Speaker 1: long we'll be here for, but we'll talk about the show.
- 0:46Speaker 1: And it was very similar to last year's show in
- 0:50Speaker 1: that it was a good show. In this case, it
- 0:52Speaker 1: was a and I think it was quiz shout out
- 0:55Speaker 1: to quizzical one in the chat, who I think summed
- 0:59Speaker 1: it up pretty well. It's basically a televised house show
- 1:02Speaker 1: with actual stakes. We had a world championship, We had
- 1:07Speaker 1: multiple championship matches on this show. But we had a
- 1:09Speaker 1: world title match again, we had another match with Revolution implications,
- 1:14Speaker 1: So that's kind of what it felt like to me.
- 1:16Speaker 1: We got some good wrestling, not a lot of major
- 1:19Speaker 1: story development here on this show, anything outside of crowning
- 1:23Speaker 1: the number one contender for Revolution, So it wasn't too
- 1:27Speaker 1: heavy on that. But yes, we know who will be
- 1:30Speaker 1: challenging MJF. It will be Hangman Adam Page. I know
- 1:34Speaker 1: there were some people who were hoping maybe Andrade go
- 1:37Speaker 1: a little outside the box Androde and MJF in Los
- 1:41Speaker 1: Angeles next month. But and this is especially true for
- 1:46Speaker 1: the people who talk a lot about story, and story
- 1:48Speaker 1: is obviously very important. Tony Kahan puts a premium on
- 1:51Speaker 1: the end ring, but you have to have some sort
- 1:54Speaker 1: of story involving these characters to kind of title together.
- 1:58Speaker 1: And the reality is the person who makes sense for
- 2:01Speaker 1: this spot is Hangman Adam Page because there is a
- 2:05Speaker 1: history between Hangman and MJF. And as I've pointed out,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and there are two matches last year, MJF lost both
- 2:12Speaker 1: of those matches. I mean it only and look what
- 2:16Speaker 1: happened a few weeks ago when MJF got beaten and
- 2:18Speaker 1: embarrassed on TV. Who was the man who came out
- 2:21Speaker 1: and that he blames for that. It was Hangman Adam Page.
- 2:25Speaker 1: It was always going to be Hangman Adam Page in
- 2:29Speaker 1: that spot going to revolution. Hey, I hope one day
- 2:33Speaker 1: we get to see MJF and Andrade. It just won't
- 2:36Speaker 1: be in LA. But that was the outcome that made
- 2:39Speaker 1: the most sense here. MJF of course still the AW
- 2:42Speaker 1: World Champion. I don't know that anybody legitimately thought it
- 2:46Speaker 1: would go any other way, especially what we saw a
- 2:48Speaker 1: few weeks ago on TV. We got a proper match
- 2:51Speaker 1: here between these two went about twenty minutes long. I
- 2:53Speaker 1: thought it was a good match. You know. One thing
- 2:55Speaker 1: I noticed with this show, and I'd be very curious
- 2:58Speaker 1: to hear from people who were actually in attendance at
- 3:00Speaker 1: the event, But there were parts of the show where,
- 3:04Speaker 1: I mean, the crowd seemed kind of lively, But there
- 3:06Speaker 1: were also matches where the crowd, Yeah, they had about
- 3:09Speaker 1: seven thousand people I believe in the venue. I don't
- 3:11Speaker 1: know what the venue capacity was. It was bigger than
- 3:14Speaker 1: your your average television audience for AW. So they had
- 3:18Speaker 1: a decent number of people there, and it just felt
- 3:21Speaker 1: like for certain matches in parts of the show, the
- 3:23Speaker 1: crowd was not as I don't know, invested or not
- 3:27Speaker 1: as loud as you would hope for them to be,
- 3:29Speaker 1: and it kind of affected a couple of matches there.
- 3:32Speaker 1: But we had MJF in the main event. We had
- 3:34Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher putting his TNT championship on the line of
- 3:38Speaker 1: what they build as Game seven in a ladder match
- 3:42Speaker 1: against Mark Briscoe. I was stunned to see Tamaso Champa
- 3:47Speaker 1: lose the TNT title that quickly on television this week.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I still don't agree with that. I see why they
- 3:53Speaker 1: did what they did here. They wanted to have Fletcher
- 3:55Speaker 1: go in and get a big moment here and pay
- 3:57Speaker 1: off this feud with him and Mark Briscoe that's been
- 3:59Speaker 1: going on out for months. I still disagree with the move.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Fletcher got his moment. When all was said and done,
- 4:07Speaker 1: we had John Moxley and Kenoski TAKESHTA Continental championship on
- 4:11Speaker 1: the line, and not only did we not get a winner,
- 4:16Speaker 1: we did not get an outcome here for this match.
- 4:19Speaker 1: But it appears, based on what we saw here tonight,
- 4:23Speaker 1: that the match for Revolution may not be Okata and Takashda.
- 4:27Speaker 1: There may be a different plan in place here. I've
- 4:30Speaker 1: been waiting for this rematch with Okata and Takeshtan. It
- 4:33Speaker 1: looks to me like they're gonna make us wait if
- 4:36Speaker 1: what I saw tonight is any indication quite a while,
- 4:39Speaker 1: potentially before we actually see that rematch between the two
- 4:42Speaker 1: of them, because there may be another rematch coming up
- 4:44Speaker 1: before that. Wheeler yuda he also got a haircut on
- 4:49Speaker 1: this show. It had to be him. It had to
- 4:52Speaker 1: be him. I mean, look, you can't even see the
- 4:55Speaker 1: guy's face. He's walking around. He's like he's like he's
- 4:59Speaker 1: wearing a bush. Of course it was going to be
- 5:02Speaker 1: Wheeler Yudah. And then you have the women's tag team
- 5:06Speaker 1: titles on the line as well. We had a women's
- 5:08Speaker 1: World championship change on Wednesday. Now, I thought coming into
- 5:11Speaker 1: this show we would have up to two title changes.
- 5:14Speaker 1: As it turned out, we got the title changes on
- 5:16Speaker 1: Dynamite and we got nothing tonight because tech Labete Chris
- 5:19Speaker 1: Statlander on Wednesday. But still the tag team champions the
- 5:24Speaker 1: Babes of Wrath. But there is a new addition to
- 5:27Speaker 1: the women's roster in aw Tony Kahan continues his signing
- 5:31Speaker 1: Binge although I'm going to say this one was probably
- 5:35Speaker 1: done quite a while ago and they just waited until
- 5:38Speaker 1: now to make it official and make the announcement. It
- 5:41Speaker 1: is a very solid edition though, whatever you think about
- 5:44Speaker 1: all the people that he's been signing so far this year,
- 5:46Speaker 1: and again I have a feeling this signing goes back
- 5:48Speaker 1: even before this year. He was just kind of waiting
- 5:51Speaker 1: for the right moment to announce it. But this person
- 5:54Speaker 1: that he signed is a very solid addition that I
- 5:58Speaker 1: like very much to this women's division. So we will
- 6:01Speaker 1: talk about who that is, and we'll talk about the
- 6:04Speaker 1: entire show. It was a good show overall. It was
- 6:07Speaker 1: an easy two and a half hours to watch. But again,
- 6:10Speaker 1: if you watched it, you saw some good wrestling. If
- 6:13Speaker 1: you didn't watch it, outside of missing some good matches,
- 6:17Speaker 1: you didn't miss a whole lot. This is not a
- 6:20Speaker 1: show that if you missed it, oh my god, all
- 6:21Speaker 1: these big developments, we got to go back and check
- 6:24Speaker 1: it out. No, no, not really, but you did get
- 6:28Speaker 1: some good wrestling here in these two and a half hours.
- 6:30Speaker 1: This is your aw Grand Slam Australia twenty twenty six review.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I am the Solemn Monster. Thank you for hanging out
- 6:38Speaker 1: with me here and being my Valentine here on Valentine's Day.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Hit that subscribe button, hit that like button, and we'll
- 6:45Speaker 1: take the wheel for a spin. I don't know that
- 6:48Speaker 1: it's going to be terribly active tonight, but we will
- 6:52Speaker 1: take the wheel for a spin to find out if
- 6:55Speaker 1: by chance we hit our goal. How many likes do
- 7:00Speaker 1: we need to do be the booker? Four hundred? We
- 7:08Speaker 1: had four hundred likes. We will be the booker. We
- 7:11Speaker 1: had quite the night last night during the SmackDown review
- 7:15Speaker 1: and not the best night for be the Booker. It
- 7:18Speaker 1: would be nice to kind of get our mojo back
- 7:21Speaker 1: and make up for what we did last night. But
- 7:24Speaker 1: we'll see. So there you go. Get to work on that.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Let's get to work here on this show. Ex Caliber
- 7:30Speaker 1: and Tony Shavani, they were the announced team here. Shout
- 7:34Speaker 1: out to the dude in the crowd. I didn't get
- 7:36Speaker 1: a photo of it, but there was a guy in
- 7:38Speaker 1: the crowd who was holding up a sign that said
- 7:40Speaker 1: too many belts. I salute you, sir. He is one
- 7:44Speaker 1: hundred percent right. That's like a general rule, by the
- 7:48Speaker 1: way in wrestling today, too many belts. See this guy
- 7:52Speaker 1: knows just this one poor guy with a sign in
- 7:56Speaker 1: the crowd, just trying to spread the word. They opened
- 8:00Speaker 1: with the continental title on the line with John Moxley
- 8:05Speaker 1: defending against Kenoski Takeshta. No don callous because nobody was
- 8:10Speaker 1: allowed a ringside There's no outside interference allowed here in
- 8:14Speaker 1: these continental title matches. There was a dive early on
- 8:17Speaker 1: in this match here by Moxley where he almost overshot
- 8:20Speaker 1: Ta Keshta and almost took a header right into the floor.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Came flying out with such momentum he couldn't stop himself.
- 8:29Speaker 1: So they brawled on the floor for a while. Moxley
- 8:31Speaker 1: whipped him into the barricades. Takeshta went Moxley into the barricade,
- 8:36Speaker 1: charged him with a big boot. They ended up back
- 8:38Speaker 1: in the ring and Moxley dumped him with a pile driver.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Takesha the fought back, so Moxley did what Moxley does.
- 8:45Speaker 1: He thumbed him in the eye. Sent them back out
- 8:48Speaker 1: to the floor. After a commercial, we got a blue
- 8:51Speaker 1: thunderbomb that got Ta Keshta a near fall, and they
- 8:55Speaker 1: were fighting and jockeying for position up on the top
- 8:58Speaker 1: turn buckle and to Casa went for a power bomb
- 9:01Speaker 1: out of the corner. Initially Moxley blocked it. He let up,
- 9:04Speaker 1: though Takesha ended up walking him out of the corner
- 9:07Speaker 1: with the last ride power bomb for a near fall.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Moxley caught him with a cutter out of nowhere, a
- 9:14Speaker 1: curb stomped him on the apron. He waited for the
- 9:17Speaker 1: referee to count to Keshta out. He barely beat the
- 9:20Speaker 1: count back in and he slid back into the ring
- 9:24Speaker 1: right into another curb stomp. So Moxley locked down the
- 9:27Speaker 1: bulldog choke and they announced five minutes remaining. Takesha started
- 9:33Speaker 1: to fade, Moxley put the body scissors on and he
- 9:37Speaker 1: transitioned into a cross arm breaker. Takeshta got to the
- 9:40Speaker 1: ropes though ex caliber. He then clarified for US on
- 9:42Speaker 1: commentary that when it comes to the Continental title, these
- 9:48Speaker 1: matches here on TV have a twenty minute time limit
- 9:51Speaker 1: and on pay per view they have a sixty minute
- 9:54Speaker 1: time limit. So I like how he's clarifying this. We're
- 9:58Speaker 1: fifteen minutes into this match, but he clarified it for us.
- 10:03Speaker 1: So Takesha hit a pair of exploders, he missed a
- 10:06Speaker 1: knee strike. Both men traded sleeper attempts until Moxley spiked
- 10:10Speaker 1: him with a death rider only for a two Takesha
- 10:15Speaker 1: escaped a second attempt at a death rider and was
- 10:19Speaker 1: exchanging head butts with Moxley. We got the one minute
- 10:21Speaker 1: time call here in this match, so Moxley was bleeding
- 10:26Speaker 1: from the nose and they were both staggered by head
- 10:29Speaker 1: butts momentarily. Now, I will say I mentioned the crowd
- 10:32Speaker 1: before they announced I think thirty seconds left in this match,
- 10:36Speaker 1: and when they said that, the crowd went crazy. The
- 10:40Speaker 1: crowd was going nuts here for the last thirty seconds
- 10:43Speaker 1: of this match. Moxley hit a lariot for a near fall.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Takashia hit a knee strike to the back of the
- 10:48Speaker 1: head for another one just as the time limit expired,
- 10:54Speaker 1: and after the match was over, Moxley and Takasha they
- 10:56Speaker 1: started brawling again. Takasha gave him the raid Fire, which,
- 11:01Speaker 1: of course, had he done that during the match, he
- 11:03Speaker 1: might be the champion right now, but he gave it
- 11:05Speaker 1: to him when the match was over. And the way
- 11:09Speaker 1: this was left, and you know, ex Caliber, there's a
- 11:13Speaker 1: reason why I think ex Caliber butted into let us
- 11:16Speaker 1: know about twenty minutes on TV, sixty minutes on pay
- 11:19Speaker 1: per view, and then we got this no contest here,
- 11:23Speaker 1: we got this time limit draw. It was a very
- 11:27Speaker 1: good match. Again, the crowd was understandably pissed at the
- 11:32Speaker 1: time limit draw. But the only conclusion that you're left
- 11:36Speaker 1: with here watching this match is that we are going
- 11:38Speaker 1: to get a remap. Of course we're going to get
- 11:40Speaker 1: a rematch, but we're going to get a rematch at Revolution.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Now Here, I am sitting here coming out of World's
- 11:46Speaker 1: End and everything that they were building to for that
- 11:48Speaker 1: inevitable match right between Okata and Takeshta, and the match
- 11:53Speaker 1: they had was good, but it was actually underwhelming because
- 11:55Speaker 1: you know they're capable of so much more. It just
- 11:57Speaker 1: felt like they were holding back in that first match,
- 11:59Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, well, we don't have a pay
- 12:00Speaker 1: per view again until March fifteenth, so we still got
- 12:03Speaker 1: a few months and you'll build to a rematch or Revolution. Well,
- 12:07Speaker 1: now we're a month away from Revolution, and it looks
- 12:09Speaker 1: like the match that we're probably gonna get is Ta,
- 12:11Speaker 1: Keshta and Moxley for the Continental Championship, which makes me
- 12:16Speaker 1: wonder if the plan here is to have takesh to
- 12:21Speaker 1: take the title from Moxley at Revolution and then wait
- 12:27Speaker 1: and build to the rematch between Okada and Takeshta at Wembley,
- 12:33Speaker 1: which is in August. They wouldn't make us wait that long,
- 12:37Speaker 1: would they? Would they make us wait that long and
- 12:42Speaker 1: do Okada to Keshta at Wembley Champion versus Champion to
- 12:47Speaker 1: unify the titles back together? Of course they would. I
- 12:51Speaker 1: don't know if that's what they'll do. Would they do it? Though? Yeah?
- 12:54Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure Tony would do it. But if I
- 12:58Speaker 1: have to wait until August to get this rema between
- 13:00Speaker 1: Okada and Takeshda, I'm not going to be very happy
- 13:02Speaker 1: about this. But that was the impression I was left
- 13:05Speaker 1: with when this was over, because they've done nothing in
- 13:09Speaker 1: recent weeks to really advance any of that story with
- 13:14Speaker 1: Okata and Takeshta. They really have done nothing, honestly, so
- 13:19Speaker 1: it's very plausible that they're gonna make us wait several
- 13:22Speaker 1: months before we get that match. This match here, though, again,
- 13:25Speaker 1: it was very good. I wouldn't mind seeing them run
- 13:27Speaker 1: it back again, but the idea of having to put
- 13:30Speaker 1: the other match off for that long is just not
- 13:33Speaker 1: something I'm terribly interested in, so I guess we'll have
- 13:36Speaker 1: to wait and see, but I do think Takesha ends
- 13:38Speaker 1: up with that continental title. I do think the endgame
- 13:41Speaker 1: here is to get gold on him. Okada has the
- 13:44Speaker 1: international title, and eventually when they do clash, you're gonna
- 13:47Speaker 1: have a unification of those two titles to whoever wins,
- 13:50Speaker 1: and that should be Takeshta. We have the babes of Wrath,
- 13:55Speaker 1: Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron Australia's own Harley Cameron taking
- 14:00Speaker 1: on Megabad, Megan Bain and Penelope Ford for the women's
- 14:05Speaker 1: tag team titles. Hey MGM, ballin what's going on? Nineteen
- 14:09Speaker 1: months of channel membership, says this is a good placeholder
- 14:14Speaker 1: for those without a Valentine this year. Thank you solo. Well,
- 14:17Speaker 1: I mean plenty of people here who I'm sure have
- 14:21Speaker 1: already celebrated Valentine's Day and they're just hanging out with
- 14:24Speaker 1: me talking wrestling here. It doesn't mean that everybody, doesn't
- 14:28Speaker 1: mean that everybody is sitting around with a bottle in
- 14:30Speaker 1: one hand and a gun in the other, But anyway,
- 14:33Speaker 1: thank you, and they'll welcome Viva La Terry Davis is
- 14:40Speaker 1: now a Channel member, and as is the MJF is mid.
- 14:48Speaker 1: I'll have you know. MJF is anything but mid. I'll
- 14:52Speaker 1: let him hear you say that. Tag team titles on
- 14:56Speaker 1: the line here. Late in the match, Bain set camera
- 14:59Speaker 1: up on her shoulders for a doomsday device. Willow stopped
- 15:04Speaker 1: Penelope from climbing the rope, so Ford hit her with
- 15:07Speaker 1: an Asai moon salt instead. All four women were brawling
- 15:11Speaker 1: when Cameron hit Bane with a Canadian Destroyer and a
- 15:14Speaker 1: Willow hit Bane with a death Valley driver. Harley missed
- 15:17Speaker 1: a swanton bomb and Penelope caught Harley with a stunner,
- 15:21Speaker 1: and then she tried to moonsalt. Harley, though, got out
- 15:24Speaker 1: of the way and then caught Ford with a backslide
- 15:27Speaker 1: for the flash pin. So Harley got a win in
- 15:31Speaker 1: her home country. Good for her. I thought it was
- 15:34Speaker 1: a decent enough match. There were no really believable near
- 15:38Speaker 1: falls for the challengers, so I mean there was no
- 15:43Speaker 1: real drama here, and honestly, I would have changed the
- 15:47Speaker 1: titles here, especially when you look at what they did
- 15:49Speaker 1: when the match was over. I'm not quite sure why
- 15:51Speaker 1: they didn't, because when the match was over, we had
- 15:54Speaker 1: somebody run in here. At the end. It wasn't gonna
- 15:56Speaker 1: be all smiles and rainbows here for the baby faces.
- 16:00Speaker 1: They were quickly laid out here by this mystery woman
- 16:03Speaker 1: who is quickly identified, and it was Australian independent wrestler
- 16:09Speaker 1: Lena Cross who comes into the ring. And Lena Cross,
- 16:12Speaker 1: by the way, who was every bit as big as
- 16:14Speaker 1: Meghan Bane, if not taller. I'm gonna say she's every
- 16:18Speaker 1: bit of six foot. She comes into the ring, she
- 16:21Speaker 1: drops Harley Cameron and she and Megabat are working together.
- 16:26Speaker 1: They both lay out the babes of Wrath and Penelope
- 16:29Speaker 1: Ford grabs their belts and they're holding up the tag
- 16:32Speaker 1: belts and Megan Bain has Willows a TBS championship and
- 16:37Speaker 1: they're holding up all the belts. And actually, before I
- 16:39Speaker 1: go any further, I have to mention here that in fact,
- 16:41Speaker 1: Lena Cross, this is her. She is all elite. And
- 16:45Speaker 1: I know this because the graphic was posted before I
- 16:48Speaker 1: went live tonight. See, it's never official until the graphic
- 16:53Speaker 1: is up. And again I'm willing to bet that this
- 16:57Speaker 1: has been the case for many months. Tony Kahan was
- 17:00Speaker 1: just waiting for the Big Australia Show to debut her. Now,
- 17:04Speaker 1: you would think that you know people down there. I'm
- 17:07Speaker 1: sure know her, she is Australian, that she would have
- 17:10Speaker 1: gotten a better reaction. I don't know if they just
- 17:12Speaker 1: edited it out of the show because she's supposed to
- 17:14Speaker 1: be a heel and maybe they cheered her. I don't know.
- 17:16Speaker 1: I heard she got a big reaction, but it didn't
- 17:18Speaker 1: come across that way on TV, which was kind of surprising.
- 17:22Speaker 1: But yes, Lena Cross is now officially all elite and
- 17:27Speaker 1: we had Lena I will say this, and the reason
- 17:29Speaker 1: I am very bullish on this, we had Lena Cross
- 17:33Speaker 1: in House of Glory two years ago. Funny enough, we
- 17:37Speaker 1: had her in House of Glory to wrestle Meghan Main
- 17:39Speaker 1: when Meghan Bain was the Hog Women's Champion, and they
- 17:43Speaker 1: had a hell of a match, very hard hitting, which
- 17:47Speaker 1: I think is really her style. But I just remember
- 17:50Speaker 1: it being a very good match. And I'm surprised it
- 17:52Speaker 1: took this long for her to show up on TV somewhere,
- 17:55Speaker 1: you know, outside I think of one match that she
- 17:57Speaker 1: had last year on Collision. It's been about a year
- 18:01Speaker 1: and a half probably since we had her in and
- 18:04Speaker 1: I would have expected her to be on television somewhere
- 18:06Speaker 1: consistently by now, but better late than never. I like
- 18:10Speaker 1: this pickup for the women's division. Whatever you think of
- 18:12Speaker 1: all the signings that Tony Khan is making and is
- 18:14Speaker 1: he's signing too many people and the people that he
- 18:17Speaker 1: signed that aren't even on TV, Leana Cross is going
- 18:20Speaker 1: to be a very solid addition to that women's division,
- 18:23Speaker 1: assuming that he uses her in aw and she doesn't
- 18:26Speaker 1: end up transitioning over to a Ring of Honor or
- 18:29Speaker 1: something like that. So I like this. I like this signing,
- 18:33Speaker 1: but the way they did this was very strange. If
- 18:35Speaker 1: they were going to do this, if they were going
- 18:38Speaker 1: to have her make her big debut tonight on this
- 18:40Speaker 1: show in Australia and align herself with Megabad, then why
- 18:44Speaker 1: the hell wouldn't she just show up and help them
- 18:46Speaker 1: win the titles. Why would she show up when the
- 18:48Speaker 1: match was over and they've already lost. I mean to
- 18:52Speaker 1: what to do get Harley Cameron to win? Was it
- 18:55Speaker 1: that important to get Harley Cameron to win? She got
- 18:58Speaker 1: a match on this show. That should be enough. Kyle
- 19:00Speaker 1: Fletcher got a big win later in the show. Not
- 19:02Speaker 1: every Australian star on the show has to win tonight.
- 19:05Speaker 1: It would have made more sense to put the belts
- 19:07Speaker 1: on Megan Bain and Penelope Ford and make a statement
- 19:10Speaker 1: that way, this woman shows up, she helps them win
- 19:13Speaker 1: the championship. So that part I disagreed with. I don't
- 19:15Speaker 1: know why they didn't just do that. Maybe it'll make
- 19:18Speaker 1: sense in a few weeks, but I think that would
- 19:20Speaker 1: have been more impactful than having her run out there
- 19:22Speaker 1: when they already fucking lost. But I'm glad to see
- 19:26Speaker 1: that she is officially signed. Now. We had Hangman Adam
- 19:30Speaker 1: Page against Andrade. This was a very important match because
- 19:34Speaker 1: the winner of this match go on to challenge for
- 19:37Speaker 1: the AW World Championship on March fifteenth at Revolution against
- 19:44Speaker 1: whoever the champion may be. Gee. I wonder, I wonder
- 19:47Speaker 1: who the champion will be. Don Khalish joined on commentary
- 19:52Speaker 1: and Androtti he avoided a buckshot lariat. He was taunting Hangman,
- 19:57Speaker 1: he's doing his tronquillo pos in the ropes. He booted
- 20:02Speaker 1: him out of the ropes to the floor, and then
- 20:04Speaker 1: ANDROTI went over to the barricade over by the barricade
- 20:07Speaker 1: where this lovely young woman was just smitten with him,
- 20:11Speaker 1: and she looked awfully similar to the woman that we
- 20:13Speaker 1: saw on TV I think last week who wanted a
- 20:16Speaker 1: selfie with him. She definitely was not Australian, so she
- 20:19Speaker 1: wanted a selfie and he took a selfie and then
- 20:22Speaker 1: she kissed him on the cheek and then he got
- 20:26Speaker 1: blasted in the face with a boot by Hangman. So
- 20:29Speaker 1: then Hangman goes over to the woman and he's like,
- 20:32Speaker 1: I'll take a selfie with you, and she's like sure,
- 20:34Speaker 1: she's already moved on. So now Hangman takes a selfie
- 20:38Speaker 1: with her, and she wants to get a kiss, and
- 20:42Speaker 1: Hangman pulls away and he goes, no, no, I'm married.
- 20:48Speaker 1: See it's a faithful man. There you go. He's also
- 20:53Speaker 1: on television, so he's not a fucking idiot inmy I mean,
- 20:57Speaker 1: if he's gonna kiss her, it's like, all right, here,
- 20:59Speaker 1: here's here's my room number. We'll get do this off camera.
- 21:02Speaker 1: We're not gonna do this on TV. I'm a married man.
- 21:04Speaker 1: You know. Valentine's Day? Can you imagine the Hangman's wife
- 21:08Speaker 1: watching this show. It's fucking Valentine's Day. He's not even
- 21:11Speaker 1: home and she's watching the show and he's getting kissed
- 21:14Speaker 1: by this woman and getting kissed by that woman. At
- 21:17Speaker 1: least do it off camera. So back in the ring,
- 21:21Speaker 1: Page went for a superplex, Androde blocked it. He went
- 21:25Speaker 1: for a sunset flip out of the corner. Page blocked that.
- 21:28Speaker 1: He tried for a tombstone, Androde blocked it. Hangman went
- 21:32Speaker 1: for a springboard off the middle rope and Androde jumped
- 21:36Speaker 1: onto the ropes with him and then took him down
- 21:38Speaker 1: with a Spanish fly and Androde control throughout the commercial break.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Page charged into the corner with a lariat and he
- 21:47Speaker 1: dropped Androde with a pop up power bomb for a
- 21:49Speaker 1: dear fall, Androte almost came down head first by the way.
- 21:54Speaker 1: They brawled down to the ring apron where Hangman went
- 21:56Speaker 1: for a dead eye and Eldelo he counted out into
- 22:01Speaker 1: a sunset flip. Page They'll rolled through into a lariat,
- 22:05Speaker 1: so Hangman came off the top of the lariat for
- 22:07Speaker 1: a near fall. Androde came back with the three Amigos
- 22:12Speaker 1: and the crowd broke out into a chant of Eddie,
- 22:15Speaker 1: which is customary whenever you do that. Spot Androtte took
- 22:20Speaker 1: too long though, going for a moon salt. Hangman rolled
- 22:22Speaker 1: out of the way, but Andrede landed on his feet
- 22:24Speaker 1: and he hit the standing moon salt for a two count.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Page caught Androte after this with a springboard lariat, Androte
- 22:31Speaker 1: tried for a springboard torneo dive out to the floor,
- 22:35Speaker 1: and Page caught him. I don't think he did. There
- 22:38Speaker 1: was a little bit of editing trickery going on here.
- 22:41Speaker 1: I don't think he caught him because then they shot
- 22:43Speaker 1: this into different camera and there was a little bit
- 22:45Speaker 1: of a jump cut here, so it didn't go as
- 22:46Speaker 1: smoothly as they wanted. But he got him up and
- 22:49Speaker 1: he delivered a fallaway slam into the barricade outside, right
- 22:53Speaker 1: into the guardrail, and I mean Androde smacked into that guardrail.
- 22:59Speaker 1: So back inside. Page went for the buck shot lariot
- 23:02Speaker 1: Androte was too far away though, and he caught Page
- 23:05Speaker 1: when he landed in the ring with the back elbow,
- 23:09Speaker 1: Androte hit a meteora in the corner and then the
- 23:12Speaker 1: hammerlock DDT only for two, Androte went for DDT for
- 23:17Speaker 1: a second time. Page though countered, and eventually he dropped
- 23:21Speaker 1: him on his head with a dead eye. So now
- 23:22Speaker 1: Don Kallas is panicking at ringside. He's like, oh shit,
- 23:27Speaker 1: this is not going to end well. So he gets
- 23:29Speaker 1: up from commentary and he goes over to the apron.
- 23:32Speaker 1: He jumps up on the apron and he's grabbing Aubrey
- 23:35Speaker 1: Edwards and he's trying to distract the referee. And so
- 23:38Speaker 1: this gives Androte an opportunity here to try for the
- 23:41Speaker 1: low blow punk kick, but Page sees it coming and
- 23:44Speaker 1: he blocks the kick. He catches his foot and he
- 23:46Speaker 1: gives it right back to him and he kicks him
- 23:48Speaker 1: in the dick. And then after that, Hangman goes to
- 23:51Speaker 1: the apron. He hits the buck shot lariot and he
- 23:54Speaker 1: gets the wind. This got thirteen minutes. Has a lot
- 23:59Speaker 1: of matches did on this show outside of the main
- 24:01Speaker 1: event they got thirteen minutes. If this was on pay
- 24:04Speaker 1: per view, this would have gotten another five to ten
- 24:07Speaker 1: minutes easily. And we see a lot of matches on
- 24:11Speaker 1: these aw pay per views that I think get a
- 24:13Speaker 1: little too self indulgent. Frankly, there are matches sometimes that
- 24:17Speaker 1: are given twenty five minutes that really have no need
- 24:19Speaker 1: to go twenty five minutes, especially when you have a
- 24:22Speaker 1: pay per view with eleven other matches. So that's a
- 24:25Speaker 1: common issue when I'm watching these aw pay per views.
- 24:28Speaker 1: I remember there was a match, it might have been
- 24:31Speaker 1: Fletcher and brisco It was definitely a Mark Briscoe match
- 24:34Speaker 1: a few months ago that got like twenty five minutes,
- 24:38Speaker 1: And there were other matches on the show that I
- 24:39Speaker 1: thought were more important that didn't even get that much time.
- 24:43Speaker 1: So I say this because on this show was the
- 24:45Speaker 1: opposite where there were certain matches that didn't get enough time,
- 24:48Speaker 1: but they were restricted because it was a TV special.
- 24:51Speaker 1: So if this was on Revolution, for example, this would
- 24:55Speaker 1: have gotten twenty minutes easily, and it felt like they
- 24:57Speaker 1: needed it because as good as this match, and it
- 25:00Speaker 1: was a very good match, these two guys can go,
- 25:03Speaker 1: and it just felt like they never reached that fever
- 25:06Speaker 1: pitch right that you would hope for, like if they
- 25:09Speaker 1: had gotten another five or six minutes even they would
- 25:12Speaker 1: have kicked it up into another gear and it just
- 25:14Speaker 1: sort of ended prematurely. So that was the disappointment there.
- 25:20Speaker 1: People will debate the outcome of this match if you
- 25:23Speaker 1: are of the belief if you just are not a
- 25:25Speaker 1: Hangman fan, or you are, but you're like, man, you
- 25:27Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to see him in there
- 25:29Speaker 1: with MJF. I don't want to see him in there
- 25:30Speaker 1: wrestling for the championship, fair enough. I like Hangman. I
- 25:37Speaker 1: don't mind. Hang Many has great matches, and you know,
- 25:40Speaker 1: people call him the main character in AW and it's
- 25:43Speaker 1: very true. You know, he's certainly one of them, if
- 25:45Speaker 1: not the main character. The history with MJF is the
- 25:50Speaker 1: reason why he is going to Revolution. I don't mind
- 25:53Speaker 1: the match. Would Andrade going in there have been a
- 25:57Speaker 1: more interesting match? Yes, yes, because Androte is not a
- 26:03Speaker 1: babyface and the way that Hangman is, he's part of
- 26:05Speaker 1: the don Kallis family right. Callus is one of the
- 26:08Speaker 1: more hated vile characters on the entire show. And it
- 26:12Speaker 1: would have been very interesting going into that Los Angeles
- 26:15Speaker 1: market with Androtti in the main event because he would
- 26:18Speaker 1: have been the ultra baby face in there against MJF.
- 26:20Speaker 1: And it would have been a match that we haven't seen,
- 26:23Speaker 1: so it would be a fresh match, and you keep
- 26:25Speaker 1: him undefeated for a little bit longer and then he
- 26:27Speaker 1: loses to MJF. You could have done that what they
- 26:32Speaker 1: did here, though, I don't mind it. I'm not going
- 26:35Speaker 1: to shit on it because the story is there in
- 26:38Speaker 1: a way that it isn't with Androtti and MJF. And
- 26:41Speaker 1: I don't think you could be somebody who harps on
- 26:45Speaker 1: story all the time and look at this and be
- 26:48Speaker 1: upset about the fact that they went with the guy
- 26:51Speaker 1: who has the heavier story history with MJF. To me,
- 26:54Speaker 1: that's just hypocritical. But there's nothing wrong with feeling that
- 26:58Speaker 1: way if you're just kind of bored of Hangman being
- 27:00Speaker 1: in the world title picture. I'm just telling you this
- 27:02Speaker 1: was the match I expected all along, because MJF was
- 27:07Speaker 1: winless against this man all year last year, and then
- 27:13Speaker 1: when he got beat in thirty fucking seconds by Brody
- 27:16Speaker 1: King a few weeks ago, it was Hangman who came
- 27:20Speaker 1: out to provide the distraction that led to that happening.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Like everything was just sitting right there in front of you,
- 27:28Speaker 1: screaming at you that the main event of this pay
- 27:31Speaker 1: per view was going to be MJF and Hangman Adam Page,
- 27:33Speaker 1: and now it is, and now MJF will have a
- 27:36Speaker 1: chance to go in there and get his win back,
- 27:38Speaker 1: And so it's predictable in that way. Maybe if Androtti
- 27:42Speaker 1: would have gone, there would have been some unpredictability. Oh,
- 27:44Speaker 1: maybe they're gonna put the belt on Androtte, But realistically
- 27:47Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. You have all of these different
- 27:50Speaker 1: challengers that they have teased and set up for MJF
- 27:53Speaker 1: over the next at least six months, whether it be Hangman,
- 27:58Speaker 1: whether it be Swerve or Kenny Omhor whoever we already
- 28:01Speaker 1: saw Bandido, Brody King Tonight, Will Osprey is going to
- 28:04Speaker 1: be back at a few months hopefully. Right there's any
- 28:06Speaker 1: number of people Darby, although to be honest with you,
- 28:10Speaker 1: right now, I don't really have any interest in seeing
- 28:12Speaker 1: that as some big pay per view title match. There's
- 28:15Speaker 1: a lot of other people I'd rather see MJF, and
- 28:17Speaker 1: they're right now than Darby. But the point is they're
- 28:20Speaker 1: all set up for MJF. They're like bowling pins, you know,
- 28:23Speaker 1: They've lined them up, and he's going to try to
- 28:25Speaker 1: knock them all down until somebody knocks him down first.
- 28:28Speaker 1: That person's not going to be Andrade. So to me,
- 28:31Speaker 1: as far as predictability unpredictability, it's not radically different no
- 28:35Speaker 1: matter who you put in there with him. So I'm
- 28:38Speaker 1: just saying story wise, I understand why Tony kh stuck
- 28:41Speaker 1: with Hangman. You know, we got Kenny O'megan, Swerve, Strickland,
- 28:45Speaker 1: who are going to be wrestling on TV this Wednesday
- 28:47Speaker 1: coming up? Swerve, if I were a betting man, Swerve
- 28:51Speaker 1: is probably going to get the shot at Dynasty or
- 28:53Speaker 1: Double or Nothing, right whichever show. Kenny Omegan doesn't get
- 28:56Speaker 1: the shot because Dynasty's in Vancouver. It could ease be Kenny,
- 29:00Speaker 1: it could be Swerved either way. But they're going to
- 29:03Speaker 1: go down the line with these different challengers. And as
- 29:06Speaker 1: far as Andrade is concerned, here's my hope with Andrade.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Androtti has been fucking great since he came back to AIW.
- 29:14Speaker 1: This man has been in peak form. He's out there
- 29:18Speaker 1: and he looks super motivated and he's having fun. He's
- 29:20Speaker 1: going out in these different indie promotions winning world championships.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Right He's on a roll right now. And until tonight
- 29:26Speaker 1: he was undefeated in this run in AW. So now
- 29:30Speaker 1: he got beat, not the end of the world. Now
- 29:32Speaker 1: it's on Tony Conda. Make sure that you don't, you know,
- 29:35Speaker 1: kind of lose interest in the guy. Well, he already
- 29:38Speaker 1: got beat, and so now we've got to focus on
- 29:40Speaker 1: other people, and Androte kind of goes down this way.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Androte has been one of the more fun parts of
- 29:45Speaker 1: the show. You got to keep him in that mix.
- 29:48Speaker 1: You got to keep him, you know, keep them moving
- 29:49Speaker 1: along here. That's the key. Now, Andrade should still be
- 29:54Speaker 1: a featured part of the show. I don't know if
- 29:58Speaker 1: and this could be an idea. And I'm going to
- 30:00Speaker 1: talk about the TNT title in a little bit. Kyle
- 30:03Speaker 1: Fletcher is still the TNT champion. Kyle Fletcher is part
- 30:06Speaker 1: of the same group that Andrade is a part of.
- 30:10Speaker 1: They have definitely given you hints that there is a
- 30:14Speaker 1: babyface turn coming in the not too distant future for
- 30:18Speaker 1: Kyle Fletcher, and so I wonder if there's a way
- 30:22Speaker 1: to work Androte into this where the person who ultimately
- 30:25Speaker 1: takes the title away from Kyle Fletcher is Andrade. And
- 30:29Speaker 1: it could factor into an eventual split in the family
- 30:33Speaker 1: where Fletcher is either excommunicated or he chooses to leave
- 30:38Speaker 1: and says, fuck you, I don't need you anymore, whatever
- 30:40Speaker 1: it is. But if Androte was to settle into a
- 30:44Speaker 1: role as TNT champion sometime in the next few months,
- 30:49Speaker 1: I like that. I think that would be a great
- 30:51Speaker 1: place for him to be. And that's just one idea.
- 30:56Speaker 1: He's too good to be demoted, you know, back down
- 30:58Speaker 1: the car too far. That's my only hope with him.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Just because he's not wrestling for the world title doesn't
- 31:03Speaker 1: mean he's buried or his push is over. It's done,
- 31:06Speaker 1: it's finished. You know. Sometimes Tony or some of these promoters,
- 31:09Speaker 1: they have a short attention span. You know, they get bored.
- 31:12Speaker 1: It's a joke about Vince McMahon all the time, right,
- 31:14Speaker 1: he have his toys and Tony Kahan same thing. You
- 31:17Speaker 1: get your toys, you play with your toys. After a while,
- 31:19Speaker 1: you get bored. You put it on the shelf, or
- 31:21Speaker 1: you put it in the toy chest. You buy a
- 31:23Speaker 1: new toy, and you forget about the old toys, right.
- 31:26Speaker 1: I don't want them to forget that. Androti is still there.
- 31:28Speaker 1: He's still the shiny new toy. That's my only hope.
- 31:32Speaker 1: But the match here between them, again, I would have
- 31:34Speaker 1: liked for it to have gone longer, but this was
- 31:36Speaker 1: a very good match. I enjoyed this. Shout out by
- 31:42Speaker 1: the way to tone VC, also one of our esteemed
- 31:48Speaker 1: Channel members. Yeh see, Sarah agrees it's a possibility you
- 31:52Speaker 1: could see Androte and Fletcher out of this, but yeah,
- 31:58Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man Androde, he has been on a roll.
- 32:01Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun to watch. It was unexpected.
- 32:06Speaker 1: It was unexpected just the way things ended up being
- 32:09Speaker 1: late last year, where we weren't even sure if he'd
- 32:12Speaker 1: be back on TV. We didn't know if he'd still
- 32:14Speaker 1: be sitting at home stuck in a contract. But it's
- 32:18Speaker 1: been fun to watch. So we had a Tornado tag match.
- 32:22Speaker 1: The loser of the fall would be forced to get
- 32:25Speaker 1: their head shaved. Orange Cassidy and Timeless, Tony Storm taking
- 32:30Speaker 1: on Wheeler Yuda and Marina Shafir Da had a strand,
- 32:35Speaker 1: a purple strand of Mina Shirikao's hair attached to his
- 32:39Speaker 1: own hair as he came out. This was after they
- 32:43Speaker 1: cut off some locks from her head on Wednesday. So
- 32:46Speaker 1: Cassidy and Storm they attacked Youdah and Shafir in the
- 32:49Speaker 1: crowd as they were making their entrance. The brawl began.
- 32:53Speaker 1: They all fought off. We got a split screen for
- 32:55Speaker 1: a little bit because they were in two different areas,
- 33:00Speaker 1: so it's just chaos in the crowd here at How
- 33:04Speaker 1: do you pronounce this building? By the way they were
- 33:08Speaker 1: in Tonight starts with a Q anybody know how you
- 33:12Speaker 1: pronounce it. I don't know. Never heard of the venue before,
- 33:18Speaker 1: but they were in Sydney, Sydney, Australia. So the big
- 33:24Speaker 1: spot here. Early in this match, Wheeler Da gets Tony Storm.
- 33:29Speaker 1: We got some intergender action going on here. He gets
- 33:32Speaker 1: her on top of what to me there was like
- 33:35Speaker 1: a black tarp over what looked like two tables. It
- 33:37Speaker 1: may have just been one big equipment case. I don't know,
- 33:41Speaker 1: because he was going to give her a pile driver
- 33:45Speaker 1: on top of whatever it was, and he did. He
- 33:47Speaker 1: gave her a pile driver and whatever it was, it
- 33:50Speaker 1: didn't break. And then she rolled off and fell on
- 33:54Speaker 1: the floor. So she ended up being carried to the
- 33:57Speaker 1: back by Luther I guess for a medical atime tension
- 34:00Speaker 1: that left Orange Cassidy all by himself two on one.
- 34:05Speaker 1: After a break, Tony came marching back down to the
- 34:08Speaker 1: ring and she made a bee line for Marina Shaffir.
- 34:12Speaker 1: We got Suplex City Germans Galore. Then she danced with
- 34:16Speaker 1: Orange Cassidy until Marina Shafir beat him both up. Cassidy, though,
- 34:20Speaker 1: was back with a beach break to Marina. You to
- 34:24Speaker 1: look like he was gonna let Marina take the losing fall.
- 34:27Speaker 1: He was gonna let her get her head shaved here
- 34:29Speaker 1: so he could save his own head. And anyway, he
- 34:32Speaker 1: thought about it for a moment. Stun Dug Millionaire to
- 34:35Speaker 1: you to, followed by a tilted world DDT. Here comes
- 34:39Speaker 1: the orange punch, but not so fast. Marina Shaffir now
- 34:42Speaker 1: gets into the ring and he hesitates, but then he
- 34:46Speaker 1: decides to go for it. She avoids it and got
- 34:49Speaker 1: an ankle lock applied on him. At the same time,
- 34:52Speaker 1: Wheeler Da got put in the TCM chicken wing by
- 34:56Speaker 1: Tony Storm. So we have these these dueling submissions that
- 35:00Speaker 1: are going on here at the same time, and Marina
- 35:05Speaker 1: is shouting for Da, don't tap out, don't tap out,
- 35:09Speaker 1: so she released her hold, Tony released hers on dah
- 35:14Speaker 1: and the two ladies went at it until Udup blasted
- 35:18Speaker 1: Tony with the busycu knee and he went for the pin,
- 35:22Speaker 1: and it was only the intervention of Orange Cassidy that
- 35:24Speaker 1: saved her hair. So there was a spot here where
- 35:27Speaker 1: Dup blasted Shaffir with the busycu knee by accident, a
- 35:31Speaker 1: little bit of friendly fire here from the death Riders.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Tony took you to down with the German Suplex. Then
- 35:37Speaker 1: there was the running hip attack in the corner. Orange
- 35:40Speaker 1: Punch catches you, dah Tony finishes him off with a
- 35:42Speaker 1: storm zero for a pinfall wind and you know what
- 35:46Speaker 1: that means. That means that Wheeler Udah is going cue ball.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Those are the rules. You gotta deliver on the stipulation. Now,
- 35:57Speaker 1: Mina Shirakawa comes out. She's carrying a barber stool down
- 36:02Speaker 1: to the ring. Luther has the barber tools. I mean,
- 36:04Speaker 1: he had everything here. They put this tray in the ring.
- 36:07Speaker 1: You got the scissors, you got the the trimmer, you
- 36:10Speaker 1: got the little thing with the blue barbe side solution
- 36:13Speaker 1: in it. They're all ready to go here. The only
- 36:16Speaker 1: thing missing was the old school barber pole or brutus
- 36:20Speaker 1: beefcake wearing, you know, the fishnets or whatever the fuck
- 36:23Speaker 1: it was that he used to wear. That's the only
- 36:24Speaker 1: thing that was missing here. So he kicks the stool
- 36:27Speaker 1: over and he says, fuck this, and he bails out
- 36:29Speaker 1: of the ring and he's gonna leave. He starts to
- 36:32Speaker 1: leave through the crowd until John Boxley comes walking up
- 36:37Speaker 1: to him and he blocks him and he says, you
- 36:40Speaker 1: got to get back in there, and he's telling him,
- 36:43Speaker 1: you lost, get back in there. Got to take it
- 36:46Speaker 1: like a man, because you know John Boxley now he's
- 36:49Speaker 1: all righteous and he's he's a babyface now even though
- 36:53Speaker 1: the rest of the death Riders are not. Now he's
- 36:56Speaker 1: telling him, you got to take your medicine like a
- 36:58Speaker 1: big boy. You gotta go back in the ring. So
- 37:01Speaker 1: you to return to the ring. And Marina goes back
- 37:03Speaker 1: into the ring with him as she's holding his hand
- 37:06Speaker 1: as he sits there, and Mina gets the first cut
- 37:10Speaker 1: and she's got a little scissors and she's cutting the
- 37:12Speaker 1: hair off. Tony has the scissors, Cassidy. Finally, he busts,
- 37:17Speaker 1: will be here all night if they keep using these
- 37:19Speaker 1: stupid scissors. So he busts out the trimmer and then
- 37:23Speaker 1: he starts to really really shave the hair off and Moxley.
- 37:28Speaker 1: They flash Moxley a look on his face of just
- 37:31Speaker 1: disappointment as he's watching this, and so, look, I actually
- 37:37Speaker 1: wasn't expecting this much intergender wrestling in this match, which
- 37:42Speaker 1: was fine. I mean, the people enjoyed it. Look, this
- 37:46Speaker 1: was in many ways the match on the car. We
- 37:50Speaker 1: call it the comdown match. I guess but it was
- 37:52Speaker 1: sort of the comic relief because there was a lot
- 37:57Speaker 1: of humor here in this match, but it was also
- 37:59Speaker 1: the payoff the the people wanted to see. They guaranteed
- 38:02Speaker 1: you that somebody was gonna go bald. Now, actually nobody
- 38:06Speaker 1: was really shaved, totally bald, but they promised you that
- 38:09Speaker 1: somebody was going to get their head shaved, so they
- 38:11Speaker 1: had to deliver on that stipulation. Wheeler da Nobody likes
- 38:15Speaker 1: Wheeler Ydah. Of course we know this already. Nobody likes Dah.
- 38:20Speaker 1: And after what he did to Marina or not Marina,
- 38:23Speaker 1: but to Mina on Wednesday, it was the only outcome here, right.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Of course he was going to get his come ups here.
- 38:30Speaker 1: So when he finally did, the fans got what they wanted.
- 38:33Speaker 1: The fans had fun with it. I really have not
- 38:37Speaker 1: given a shit about the story, the stuff they've been
- 38:39Speaker 1: doing with the conglomeration and all that. Like, I don't
- 38:41Speaker 1: give a shit. He had Roderick Strong walking out the
- 38:44Speaker 1: other night on you know, the Conglomeration, and like, I
- 38:48Speaker 1: don't care personally, Like I just don't care about it.
- 38:52Speaker 1: But Tony's Storm is such a great character, right, and
- 38:54Speaker 1: people love Tony. They're giving other women a chance to
- 38:59Speaker 1: have the spotlight in the division now, so I don't
- 39:02Speaker 1: want to hear any of this nonsense about oh Tony Storm,
- 39:04Speaker 1: look at look at the fall of Tony Storm. Like,
- 39:07Speaker 1: Tony Storm is doing what you should be doing, which
- 39:09Speaker 1: is giving other people an opportunity to shine and grow
- 39:13Speaker 1: and get to a level where they can be maybe
- 39:15Speaker 1: the next Tony Storm. And Tony Storm is bulletproof, so
- 39:18Speaker 1: she could take a backseat for a little bit and
- 39:20Speaker 1: be in a lesser story and still be every bit
- 39:22Speaker 1: as over as she was before because she's fucking great.
- 39:26Speaker 1: So there's no harm in it. I just haven't cared
- 39:28Speaker 1: about some of the shit that they've had them doing.
- 39:32Speaker 1: But in the end, the people got what they wanted
- 39:33Speaker 1: to see. They got to see Wheeler you to get
- 39:35Speaker 1: his head shaped. This week's episode is sponsored by Wicks.

- 41:32Speaker 1: Ladder Match which was for the TNT Championship, Kyle Fletcher
- 41:37Speaker 1: defending against Mark Briscoe. They built this as Game seven.
- 41:42Speaker 1: This was they never built as a best of seven
- 41:44Speaker 1: series between these two, but they were tied up six matches,
- 41:49Speaker 1: three wins apiece, Game seven title on the line. Kyle
- 41:54Speaker 1: Fletcher just won the title back on Wednesday from Tomaso Champa.
- 42:00Speaker 1: Champa had the championship for what eleven days, didn't have
- 42:05Speaker 1: it for very long, and I was stunned when they
- 42:09Speaker 1: took it off of him that soon. And my hope
- 42:12Speaker 1: was that, Okay, well they've gone and done this because
- 42:15Speaker 1: they wanted Kyle Fletcher to get a big homecoming and
- 42:18Speaker 1: come to Australia as the TNT champion, when realistically you
- 42:23Speaker 1: could have had the two of them go to a
- 42:25Speaker 1: time limit draw on Wednesday, And maybe they didn't want
- 42:28Speaker 1: to do that because they knew they were doing a
- 42:30Speaker 1: time limit draw on Saturday between Moxley and Takesta. But
- 42:33Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if they would have gone to a draw,
- 42:35Speaker 1: they were this close from going to a draw anyway,
- 42:37Speaker 1: they were within three or four minutes of it, and
- 42:40Speaker 1: you run that match back here on this show, that
- 42:43Speaker 1: would have to me anyway, that would have been a
- 42:45Speaker 1: little more like palatable. You still would have had Tomasso
- 42:49Speaker 1: Champa dropping the belt in short order, and people would
- 42:53Speaker 1: have some people would have been upset about that. But
- 42:56Speaker 1: I'm looking at it going, why couldn't you just run
- 42:58Speaker 1: that match back on Saturday. That match on Wednesday that
- 43:00Speaker 1: they had was fucking great. That was the best television
- 43:03Speaker 1: match all year so far, so ladder stipulation or no
- 43:07Speaker 1: ladder stipulation, I would have loved for them to run
- 43:10Speaker 1: that match back here. They wanted to wrap this up here,
- 43:13Speaker 1: this whole series, and put a nice little bow on
- 43:15Speaker 1: it and be done with it, and so that's why
- 43:18Speaker 1: they did what they did. And my hope was, Okay,
- 43:22Speaker 1: Champa calls himself the psycho Killer. Maybe he'll show up
- 43:26Speaker 1: here on this show, right, Craze over losing the TNT championship.
- 43:31Speaker 1: He was nowhere to be found. Champa had nothing to
- 43:33Speaker 1: do with any of this. He was not on this show.
- 43:35Speaker 1: My only hope for him is that he's the new guy,
- 43:40Speaker 1: and he came in right like a bolt of lightning.
- 43:42Speaker 1: He won the championship his first night in in the ring,
- 43:46Speaker 1: technically his second night in. They gave him a badass presentation,
- 43:50Speaker 1: great theme song, right checking all the boxes for Tamaso Champa.
- 43:54Speaker 1: But we know how this goes. New guy comes in,
- 43:57Speaker 1: maybe gets a little hot right away, and then fades.
- 44:02Speaker 1: I hope not. I would prefer to see him as
- 44:05Speaker 1: a heel psycho killer heel Champa. That's the way to go.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Is he gonna go after the TNT title again? I
- 44:12Speaker 1: don't know. Oh well, we'll have to wait and see.
- 44:15Speaker 1: Certainly there's no hint of that on this show. But
- 44:19Speaker 1: whether it's the TNT title or something else, because they
- 44:22Speaker 1: got so many frickin' belts in this company, take your pick.
- 44:24Speaker 1: You got the national title, the international title, the Continental title,
- 44:27Speaker 1: the TNT title, the world title. At least I got
- 44:30Speaker 1: rid of the FTW title. Pick a belt. He can
- 44:33Speaker 1: go after any of them, but Champa. You know, he
- 44:36Speaker 1: built up some real momentum in these last two weeks.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Don't squander it. That's all I'm saying, Don't squander it.
- 44:45Speaker 1: It took all of thirty seconds for the fight here
- 44:47Speaker 1: to go to the floor and they brawl around ringside.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Fletcher caught Briscoe with a half and half. Fletcher was
- 44:53Speaker 1: the first to grab a ladder. Briscoe cut him off
- 44:55Speaker 1: with a dropkick. Brisco claimed the ladder, set it up
- 44:59Speaker 1: on the floor. Fletcher, though, caught up to him and
- 45:02Speaker 1: slammed him on the apron. And the way he did
- 45:05Speaker 1: this was so he's standing on the apron, he grabs
- 45:09Speaker 1: brisco and kind of throws him, and brisco he hits
- 45:13Speaker 1: the ropes like his legs hit the ropes. He kind
- 45:15Speaker 1: of bounces off the ropes on the way down. The
- 45:18Speaker 1: best way I could describe this it looked reckless and
- 45:22Speaker 1: safer at the same time. I don't really know how
- 45:25Speaker 1: to reconcile that. I think by him hitting the ropes
- 45:28Speaker 1: in the way that he did, like it looked reckless,
- 45:29Speaker 1: but I think it was actually safer for him to
- 45:31Speaker 1: do so. And then Fletcher came off the ladder with
- 45:35Speaker 1: the moon salt back inside. Fletcher lawn darted brisco The
- 45:39Speaker 1: ladder is set up in the corner, it's between the turnbuckles,
- 45:43Speaker 1: and he lawn darts him into the ladder face first,
- 45:47Speaker 1: and you actually could see brisco you know, cutting himself.
- 45:50Speaker 1: You could kind of sell he was cutting himself, and
- 45:51Speaker 1: then the camera cut away. When they cut back to him,
- 45:55Speaker 1: blood coming out of the top of his skull. So
- 45:59Speaker 1: after a break, there's a ladder bridge that is set
- 46:02Speaker 1: up on the floor between the ring apron and there's
- 46:05Speaker 1: another ladder. Fletcher falls backwards, gently falls backwards onto the
- 46:10Speaker 1: ladder bridge and Briscoe comes off the top with a
- 46:14Speaker 1: froggy bow onto the ladder which does not break. Briscoe
- 46:19Speaker 1: went for the belt which was pretty high up there.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Fletcher that was able to recover and catch up to him.
- 46:26Speaker 1: He was also bleeding. Now Fletcher power bomb brisco off
- 46:30Speaker 1: the ladder down through another ladder. Fletcher he set up
- 46:34Speaker 1: another ladder bridge in the rain. Lots of ladders here.
- 46:36Speaker 1: It's a ladder match, so he sets up another ladder
- 46:38Speaker 1: bridge in between another ladder and the turnbuckles. Brisco took
- 46:44Speaker 1: a bite out of Fletcher's bloody wound, and then he
- 46:49Speaker 1: looks out into the crowd and he shouts tastes like
- 46:53Speaker 1: shrimp on the barbie. Tony Schavani made some comment, Oh,
- 46:59Speaker 1: you gotta love he's so entertaining. That's right, Tony. So
- 47:05Speaker 1: that he put Fletcher through the ladder bridge with a
- 47:07Speaker 1: j driller, a j driller. That should have been it,
- 47:13Speaker 1: I mean, a jade driller through a ladder. That should
- 47:15Speaker 1: be the end of the fucking match right there. Of
- 47:18Speaker 1: course it wasn't that. There was a little bit of
- 47:20Speaker 1: a delay, and so Brisco then climbs the ladder. He
- 47:23Speaker 1: got his hand on the belt. Fletcher had already recovered
- 47:26Speaker 1: and caught up to him. Fletcher gave Brisco a twisting brainbuster,
- 47:31Speaker 1: give him a brainbuster off the top of the ladder,
- 47:35Speaker 1: which is Fletcher's finishing move, basically right the sheer drop brainbuster.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Fletcher starts to climb and Brisco catches up to him.
- 47:45Speaker 1: Now you can, as you can tell here, not a
- 47:47Speaker 1: lot of time to sell big moves. This is the
- 47:52Speaker 1: downfall of doing a match like this, and the downfall
- 47:56Speaker 1: of doing a match like this on a television show
- 47:59Speaker 1: where you have more severe time restrictions than you would
- 48:03Speaker 1: would on a pay per view match, so that didn't help.
- 48:06Speaker 1: But I don't want to just use that as the
- 48:08Speaker 1: only excuse here, because this is unfortunately something that is
- 48:11Speaker 1: a common occurrence in most ladder matches in wrestling, where
- 48:15Speaker 1: big moves, in big spots like that, which frankly should
- 48:19Speaker 1: be the end of the match, they're not given ample
- 48:22Speaker 1: time to breathe, like these are major, you know, bumps
- 48:26Speaker 1: that these guys are taking it like finishing moves being
- 48:28Speaker 1: dropped on their fucking head. But you got to just
- 48:32Speaker 1: keep it moving right onto the next, on to the next,
- 48:34Speaker 1: on to the next, and there's no time to sell it.
- 48:36Speaker 1: There's no time to really let it breathe, and that's unfortunately,
- 48:41Speaker 1: that's just the common issue with these types of matches.
- 48:44Speaker 1: But Fletcher starts to climb, Brisco catches up to him,
- 48:47Speaker 1: and Brisco sets up a second ladder and both men
- 48:50Speaker 1: are fighting on top of their respective ladders. Fletcher pushes
- 48:54Speaker 1: Brisco's ladder over. Now he's very slowly pushing the ladder over,
- 48:59Speaker 1: and the fans are rising to their feet because they're
- 49:02Speaker 1: expecting some sort of huge bump here and I'm looking around, like,
- 49:08Speaker 1: are there tables stacked up? Maybe that I didn't see. No,
- 49:13Speaker 1: the ladder is very slowly tipping over. The fans are
- 49:16Speaker 1: waiting for something big to happen, and all that happens
- 49:20Speaker 1: is that Brisco just jumps down off the ladder and
- 49:23Speaker 1: he lands throat first on the top rope, you know,
- 49:28Speaker 1: like a hangman, and you get like, the crowd is
- 49:32Speaker 1: kind of like oh, and Fletcher is still on the
- 49:36Speaker 1: ladder and he climbs up and he grabs the belt
- 49:39Speaker 1: and he pulls it down and just like that, Kyle
- 49:41Speaker 1: Fletcher retains the TNT Championship. There were some brutal bumps
- 49:47Speaker 1: in this match, and again I wish they would have
- 49:50Speaker 1: let some of those bigger, like the brainbuster and the
- 49:52Speaker 1: jay Driller and stuff like that. I wish they would
- 49:54Speaker 1: have I mean, at least let that breathe a little
- 49:57Speaker 1: bit more. But the finish came off very anti climactic,
- 50:04Speaker 1: Like think about what I just described to you. We
- 50:07Speaker 1: had a jay driller through a ladder, We had a
- 50:11Speaker 1: brainbuster off a ladder. We had a froggy bow off
- 50:17Speaker 1: the top rope down onto a ladder bridge like we
- 50:20Speaker 1: saw some wicked shit in this match. And then it
- 50:24Speaker 1: ends when Fletcher gently tips the other ladder over and
- 50:28Speaker 1: he just falls, you know, face first, wrote first over
- 50:31Speaker 1: the top rope, and the match is over. It just
- 50:35Speaker 1: didn't match the high points of the match. The finish
- 50:39Speaker 1: fell flat. People were very happy to see Fletcher retain.
- 50:42Speaker 1: Of course they were in his hometown. He was the
- 50:45Speaker 1: returning hero, so I mean they were happy about that.
- 50:48Speaker 1: But yeah, the finish came off very anti climactic. But
- 50:51Speaker 1: finally this feud can be over. There is no Game eight,
- 50:55Speaker 1: there's no such thing. There's no Game nine, there's no
- 50:58Speaker 1: Game ten. It's totally Game seven. And that's it. The
- 51:03Speaker 1: series is over. And so now Kyle Fletcher can move
- 51:07Speaker 1: on to whoever the next challenger is going to be. Again,
- 51:10Speaker 1: I just laid out an idea involving Andrade. I'm not
- 51:13Speaker 1: saying that has to be the next guy. We'll see
- 51:15Speaker 1: if Champ is still in the mix, but it's time
- 51:18Speaker 1: to move on from Mark Brisco in this spot. So
- 51:23Speaker 1: then we had the main event, and the main event
- 51:26Speaker 1: of this show. Yeah, selling, what the fuck is that? Yeah?
- 51:30Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, Hey, Markel, fifty four
- 51:40Speaker 1: months of channel membership been a minute finally made it live.
- 51:45Speaker 1: I'm happier with us. I'm usually not live for collision,
- 51:50Speaker 1: but I made an exception tonight. I'm glad you could
- 51:53Speaker 1: be here. Main event was for the AW World Championship.
- 52:00Speaker 1: It was MJF defending against Brody King. I have to
- 52:03Speaker 1: give a shout out to the ring announcer here, Arcady Ara.
- 52:07Speaker 1: She was handling the ring introductions here for the show
- 52:10Speaker 1: and for the main event, and I thought she did
- 52:13Speaker 1: an excellent job here. I just wanted to say that
- 52:16Speaker 1: I thought she she especially for the ring intros here
- 52:19Speaker 1: for the title match, she did a hell of a job.
- 52:24Speaker 1: And for those of you who want to know, yes,
- 52:27Speaker 1: the fans in Australia did chant it and no TNT
- 52:32Speaker 1: did not edit them off the show, so now you know.
- 52:37Speaker 1: So Brody he press slammed MJF out of the corner. Early.
- 52:41Speaker 1: King went for a cannonball in the corner. MJF moved
- 52:44Speaker 1: out of the way, so Brody crashed and burned and
- 52:47Speaker 1: he was selling his left leg, his left knee like
- 52:49Speaker 1: he may have heard it. He may have wrapped it
- 52:51Speaker 1: around the rope. MJF saw this and he took to
- 52:55Speaker 1: working on the leg. He was wrapping it around the
- 52:57Speaker 1: ring post. Later on JF clipped the knee and then
- 53:01Speaker 1: he busted out the old kangaroo kick. We haven't seen
- 53:04Speaker 1: one of those in a while, and the crowd popped.
- 53:07Speaker 1: So then MJF flipped him off. He followed King out
- 53:11Speaker 1: to the floor with the toepay back inside. MJF avoided
- 53:14Speaker 1: a sent on and he went to an ankle lock.
- 53:17Speaker 1: He was tying King up with a knee bar and
- 53:20Speaker 1: Brody was able to break the hold by getting to
- 53:22Speaker 1: the ropes. So after a break, Brody, even on the
- 53:25Speaker 1: bad wheel, he is going to hit a toepace. Suicida
- 53:30Speaker 1: is a giant man, and this man comes flying through
- 53:34Speaker 1: the ropes out of the ring, wipes out MJF, who
- 53:38Speaker 1: actually made it back into the ring before Brody did.
- 53:42Speaker 1: But Brody went on the offense. He gave MJF a
- 53:45Speaker 1: backdrop and MJF let out it oh shit as he
- 53:49Speaker 1: was backdropped high into the air right before he took flight.
- 53:55Speaker 1: It's you know, it's like little things like that, Like
- 53:57Speaker 1: even earlier in the match when Brody, you know, Gorilla
- 54:01Speaker 1: pressed him up, did the same thing, just let out
- 54:04Speaker 1: like a little oh shit. Just little things like that
- 54:07Speaker 1: that adds so much. So they wound up outside the ring.
- 54:10Speaker 1: MJF was seated up against the barricade and Brody backed
- 54:14Speaker 1: up and he came charging in even on one leg
- 54:18Speaker 1: for a running crossbody. Then he got MJF back inside
- 54:22Speaker 1: and he had the crowd barking. In comes Brody with
- 54:25Speaker 1: the cannon ball, this time it connects, he covers him,
- 54:28Speaker 1: MJF kicks out, so he goes for the gonzo bomb.
- 54:31Speaker 1: MJF flips out of it and he gets a sleeper
- 54:34Speaker 1: hole applied and the knee gives out. So now MJF
- 54:37Speaker 1: has got him in the hold down on the mat
- 54:40Speaker 1: and Brody's eyes are all glazed over. The arm drops
- 54:45Speaker 1: once and we have I think it was Tony Shavani
- 54:48Speaker 1: on commentary who's saying, well, you know it's got to
- 54:53Speaker 1: it's got to drop three times, so it drops ones.
- 54:57Speaker 1: But here's Bandido. We haven't seen Bandido in a few
- 55:00Speaker 1: and he's got a brace on his left hand. He
- 55:02Speaker 1: does have a hand injury, apparently, it's like I guess,
- 55:05Speaker 1: a relatively minor injury, but he does have a legitimate
- 55:10Speaker 1: hand injury. So that's what that was. But Bandido is out.
- 55:13Speaker 1: He is shouting to Brody to try to rally him
- 55:16Speaker 1: and try to wake this guy up. Don't give up,
- 55:18Speaker 1: don't give up, he's saying, don't give up. And King
- 55:22Speaker 1: gets back to his feet and he falls backwards to
- 55:24Speaker 1: break the hold. Bandido is pounding on the mat. He's
- 55:29Speaker 1: trying to rally his tag team partner back to his feet.
- 55:32Speaker 1: MJF rolls out to the floor. King goes to take
- 55:35Speaker 1: flight again. This time though, MJF jumps up on the
- 55:38Speaker 1: apron and he grabs him and he delivers a DDT
- 55:41Speaker 1: through the ropes onto the apron. So now Brody is
- 55:45Speaker 1: on the floor and Bryce Remsburg is counting. MJF dives out.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Now Brody was supposed to catch him seamlessly on his shoulders.
- 55:54Speaker 1: He didn't. He just he picked him up and put
- 55:56Speaker 1: him back on his shoulders, and then he delivered it
- 56:00Speaker 1: running death Valley Driver into the guardrail, and man, did
- 56:06Speaker 1: MJF hit that guardrail hard? So now both met her
- 56:09Speaker 1: down outside. Bryce is up to seven, counting both guys
- 56:13Speaker 1: out here and Bandido it brod He's back to his
- 56:17Speaker 1: feet and it looks like Brody's about to just go
- 56:18Speaker 1: back into the ring, and Bandido's like, you got you
- 56:22Speaker 1: gotta get him back in the ring like he forgot,
- 56:25Speaker 1: So he goes over and he grabs MJF and at
- 56:27Speaker 1: the very last possible second, he gets MJF and himself
- 56:32Speaker 1: back into the ring before the ten count, So Bandido
- 56:35Speaker 1: saved his ass on that one. MJF, though, pulls out
- 56:38Speaker 1: the dynamite diamond ring from his trunks and he goes
- 56:42Speaker 1: to use it, and Bryce catches him, and as he
- 56:46Speaker 1: argues with the referee, King blasts him with a forearm shot.
- 56:50Speaker 1: I swear it sounds like a gunshot going off, and
- 56:56Speaker 1: he got MJF trapped in the sleeper over the ropes.
- 56:59Speaker 1: This was just like in their first match, and his
- 57:03Speaker 1: body goes limp and MJF falls to the floor, so
- 57:06Speaker 1: Brody goes out after him. He deposits him back inside
- 57:10Speaker 1: the ring. Here comes the gonzo bomb and it connects.
- 57:16Speaker 1: He drops him straight down on his head and he
- 57:20Speaker 1: covers him and MJF kicks out. So MJF gets Brody
- 57:25Speaker 1: out flat on the apron, laying out there on the apron,
- 57:31Speaker 1: and he starts undoing Brody's knee brace on the bad
- 57:34Speaker 1: knee and Brody's trying to fight back and MJ's fighting
- 57:37Speaker 1: him off, and he's now he's pulling the brace down
- 57:39Speaker 1: to expose the knee. He starts biting him on the knee.
- 57:43Speaker 1: MJF gets up on the apron. Brody though was gonna
- 57:46Speaker 1: give him a gonzo bomb on the apron. Brody ends
- 57:50Speaker 1: up on the ropes because MJF he held onto the rope.
- 57:53Speaker 1: He was like, you're not gonna fucking drop me again
- 57:55Speaker 1: on my head. So Brody ends up like sitting on
- 57:57Speaker 1: the ropes and MJF grabs him and he gets him
- 58:00Speaker 1: in a tombstone position, and instead of dumping him with
- 58:03Speaker 1: a tombstone on the apron, he slams him down flat.
- 58:08Speaker 1: And then he follows back in the ring with the
- 58:11Speaker 1: heat Seeker and he spikes Brody and he covers him
- 58:15Speaker 1: and he pins him clean, just like that, twenty one
- 58:20Speaker 1: minutes into the match, and MJF is still the aw
- 58:24Speaker 1: World Champion. When the match was over, we hear Hangman's
- 58:28Speaker 1: music and he storms down to the ring. He's got
- 58:32Speaker 1: the Revolution contract in his hand, gets right up in
- 58:36Speaker 1: front of mjf's face and he signs the contract and
- 58:40Speaker 1: MJF holds up his title. Hangman makes like he's gonna
- 58:43Speaker 1: go leave, and then he makes like he's gonna like
- 58:45Speaker 1: he rares back like he's gonna stab him in the
- 58:47Speaker 1: head with a pen, and MJF. He flinches and he
- 58:50Speaker 1: falls down to the mat and Hangman leave the ring
- 58:55Speaker 1: and he power walks to the back. As ex Caliber
- 58:59Speaker 1: reminds us, we have a big match coming up on
- 59:01Speaker 1: Dynamite next week between Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland, and
- 59:06Speaker 1: nothing has been announced as far as you know, any
- 59:09Speaker 1: kind of stipulation. It's not like a number one contenders
- 59:12Speaker 1: match or anything like that, but that is a big
- 59:14Speaker 1: match that they have already announced. In addition, there's going
- 59:16Speaker 1: to be a face to face between MJF and Hangman
- 59:20Speaker 1: on that show. Mind you, they're having a face to
- 59:23Speaker 1: face for Revolution. Revolution is still a month away, you know,
- 59:26Speaker 1: we still got four weeks to go, but we're going
- 59:30Speaker 1: to get a face to face between them. This was
- 59:32Speaker 1: a very good match, a very surprisingly clean win for MJF,
- 59:39Speaker 1: and I thought they worked it well, you know, with
- 59:41Speaker 1: the focus being on Brody's bad knee, so you had
- 59:44Speaker 1: the psychology of that bandido coming out trying to cheer
- 59:47Speaker 1: lead for Brody to kind of rally him and get
- 59:50Speaker 1: him back into things. It was also the second straight
- 59:53Speaker 1: match though, where we had a finish that came off
- 59:57Speaker 1: as anti climactic. I mentioned the Fletcher match and the
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: way that ended it just it kind of fell flat.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: The finish here fell flat too, because I just think
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: a lot of people weren't expecting the heat seeker to
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: be the finish. And I mean, I'm sure he's used
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: it as a finish in some of his matches before,
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: but it's not really been established as like the finishing move.
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: You know that mjf uses in every match, and I
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: just think at that moment in that spot, a lot
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: of people were in it weren't really expecting that to
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: be it, and then the match was just kind of over.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: But I also don't think people really believe that the
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: finish was going to go any differently here. You know,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: there was really no And I talk about this even
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: with some of the WWE matches. You know, one of
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: the things that happened sometimes is when you telegraph the
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: outcome of the match in advance, it's hard for people
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: to buy into all the near falls. It's hard for
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: people to really fully invest in it. When Hangman beat
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: Andrade earlier in the show, like it was over, we
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: already knew at that point with one hundred percent certainty.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: I mean with ANDROTI it would have been ninety eight
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: percent certainty. But we already knew at that point what
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: the match for Revolution was going to be. So maybe
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: that factored into it a little bit as well as
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: far as the direction for Revolution. Just to go back
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: to what I said before, it could have been Andrade.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: It would have been a great match, It would have
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: been a great atmosphere in La doing that. In the
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: main event, the story is MJF and Hangman, and they
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: want to put this story to bed and then move
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: on to whoever the next challenger is going to be,
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: whether it's Kenny, whether it's Swerve. They want to close
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: this chapter on the story between MJF and Hangman, and
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: so you'll see in their face to face on Dynamite
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: this week. You know, MJF is going, I'm sure he's
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: going to bring up the fact that you know, he
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: went zero for two against this man last year, you know,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: and it eats him up inside because he knows he's
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: better than him. And they're going to bring up all
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: the history between them. These are two guys that go back.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: These are two of the ogs you know, outside of
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: the EVPs and someone like Darby. These are the ogs
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: here of AW. They were there from day one in
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. You know, their history goes back that far.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: I think that segment they had back in twenty nineteen
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: with Brett Hart where he I think unveiled the AW
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: world title, if I remember correctly, I think Hangman and
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: MJF were involved in that segment. So that's why we're
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: getting this match here revolution. But either way, I'm cool
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: with it. Either way, Hangman and MJF, Andrade and MJF.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Hopefully ANDROTI will have another big match on that show,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: maybe Fletcher, maybe Kyle Fletcher. But again, it for me,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: it was an easy two and a half hours. He
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: got some good matches. But if you didn't see the
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: show story wise, big developments or anything, I mean, yes,
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: Lena Cross showed up, but in terms of big developments,
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: he didn't miss much. It really was like a big
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: house show that happened to have some high stakes because
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: we had a bunch of championships that were on the line.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Now we have a number one contender for the pay
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: per view that was the story of revolution or the
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: story of Grand Slam heading into revolution. You know it's
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: a big show because I'm live for a collision review
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: that never happens. It may not happen again until they
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: go back to Australia next year. This may be it
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: is your big annual collision Collision live review here. But
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: where I CMJF in the main event for the World Championship.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: To me, that's a big show. You know, that's a
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: show worth covering. Here. Let's take a look at the
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Twitter poll what did you think of Grand Slam? With
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: nearly eight hundred votes in so far, sixty seven percent
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: thumbs up, thirty two point seven percent thumbs down. The
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: the MJF is mid, says I only watch for Fletcher
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: and MJF. Yeah, but if he's mid, why are you
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: watching him? Brett Hart doesn't remember MJF. Sadly, yeah, I
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: saw that clip too. Part of me would like to
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: think that Brett is trolling, but sadly I don't think
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: he is. Springwood says, the first collision I've seen in years. Well,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: what did you think? What did you vote? In the poll?
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: He didn't tell me, you didn't mention it. Alright, let's
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: take a look at your super chats here which he
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: thought of the show tonight, and we'll get you out
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: of here. I will start with Toya. Toya ain't nice, says,
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: it's been a real heavy, sad week for me, but
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: I wanted to say congrats on the podcast. I'll be
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: your valentine. Well, I'm sorry it's been a tough week
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: for you. I don't know what's going on, but I
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: hope it gets better for you, and I appreciate the offer.
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: Thank you, Boots with that one hundred dollars Boots bomb.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: It may be the last collision he sees in years.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: It could be I don't know, but some other big
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: matches worth watching here. I see enough wrestling as it is. Boots,
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: you are the men, but you already knew that. Thank you,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: brother street Fighter. I'm sorry, but have zero interest in Mosley.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: What is his story? Yeah, his story is a little weird.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: He's the babyface and a lot of the other members
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: of his crew are heels. His story is that he
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: is the fighting champion who I guess has seen the
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: error of his ways. I don't know they haven't really
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: flushed it out all that well. Willow wisp another Hangman
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: versus MJF match mid Randy Bobandi says, I'm not sure
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: if you watch them growing up, could you rank your
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: favorite Stooges. I'm not gonna count Joe der Rita or
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: Joe Besser because let's be honest, they don't count. You know,
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: I didn't watch them. I was an Abbott and Costello guy.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: I was not a three. I don't hate the three Stooges.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I just I didn't grow up on them. I didn't
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: watch them. I'm aware of them, but I'm not a
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Stooges guy having and Costello man. That's my jam uh
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: vival Terry Davis, I love you, solo, Thank you, Terry.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: Why did he see his errors because Tony Kahn told
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: him to? That's That's as good of an explanation as
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: they gave on television. Randy says, heiden Reich is a
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: better poet than Kip. You mean Kit Kip? Who cute
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: Kip Kip Sabian? Who are we talking about here? Talking
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: about Kit Wilson? David Rice, thank you for the twenty.
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: This is one of my biggest gripes with ae W.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: Lena Cross has a great look. Why would you just
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: have her run in with a large amount of the
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: audience not knowing who she is, run some venettes on
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: her first in this case, see I don't, I don't.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: I disagree, I disagree in this case, not every single
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: person who debuts is going to have vignettes. There have
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: been debuts over the years. I'll use I'll use one
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: of the best examples I can give you brock Lesner.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: When brock Lesner showed up in two thousand and two.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: He showed up and he destroyed the people that he
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: was in the ring with, to the point where I, like,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: I still remember that angle today, I still remember him.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: He gave Maven what is to this day one of
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: the cleanest f fives that I have ever seen him give,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: and then the triple power bomb to Spike Dudley, which
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: would have kept going, but Spike told him, like that's it,
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: I can't take anymore. Why he was destroying this poor bastard,
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: and like that's his first night in. They didn't run
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: vignettes for him. Rock is coming, like there was nothing.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: He just showed up. Nobody knew who the fuck this
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: guy was, but they took one look at him and
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: they're like, holy shit, this guy looks like a freak.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: It looks like a mutant. And that's okay because sometimes
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: you don't need to run weeks of vignette. So generally, yeah,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: that's what you should do, but you don't do that
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: for everybody because that's boring. Then every debut is the
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: same lean across. They were obviously saving her because they
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: were in Australia and they figured that the people would
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: know her. Now again, I read one thing that said
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: that she got this great, amazing response. Didn't come across
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: that way on TV. It came across like these people
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: didn't know who the fuck she was. So I don't
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: know what to make of that. I mean, I don't
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: know why they would have edited out a positive response
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: just because what she's a heel? I mean, so what,
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: But in this case, that's exactly why Tony did it.
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: I'm sure you know she's from Australia. They wanted it
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: to be a surprise and so we'll debut her in Australia.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: I don't blame them for not running vignettes for her.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: I do think it's something that they should, you know,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: generally do more of when it comes to debuting these
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: people and giving the audience rite a sense of who
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: they are, where they're from, why they're important. A lot
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: of times, you know, especially in aw Tony will just
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: assume that the audience knows who they are, or they'll
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: just go to Google and they'll google in and look
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: up who the person is, and he's content with that,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: And that isn't always the smartest way to go about
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: doing it. I think that's kind of stupid sometimes, But
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: in this case, I disagree. I think the way they
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: did it, as far as saving it as a surprise
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: for Australia is fine. Now, the execution of it was
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: not great. I would not have executed it exactly the way,
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: especially just having her go out there after they already
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: I just think that's just incredibly stupid. Instead of having
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: her help them win the titles, we'll send her out
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: there after they've already lost the match. A good job
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: on that, Randy says, Buy sell or rent for five
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: title reigns of Doom, Triple h jbl Or Jeff Jarrett, Well,
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: I wasn't watching TNA as closely as I was WWE,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: so I probably would just have Jarrett ranked last. Triple
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: h is by far the worst. I'm sorry, the Reign
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: of Terror was just fucking awful. JBL I'll put in
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: the middle, and then Jarrett, I'll put last. Randy says,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: I know you can't give any spoilers, but any chance
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: that h Og might make it appearance in Maryland, there's
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: always a chance. That's all I can really say. There's
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: always a chance. Is it something that's imminent, No, but
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: is there a chance? Yes, Ishmael, I'll be at the
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: Sacramento show this upcoming Wednesday. Damn I do missing Matt
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Sidell on TV. And you got to try the new
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: Red Bull flavor Cherry Soakura is amazing. Brother. The last
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: time I had an energy drink, I was tweaking. I
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: don't do well with them. I think I think I
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: had a monster. Actually I think I had I didn't
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: even have an entire monster. I think I had half.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: But it was one of those big cans. But I
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: had half. I had half of a Monster energy drink
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: at the office, and uh yeah, that was not That
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: was not good. That was not good. So I avoid
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: all that. I don't do any of the energy drink stuff.
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: I don't drink caffeine. I'm not a coffee guy. I
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: just you know, I don't do any of that stuff.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: And street Fighter Techla's promo tonight gave me major Heath
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: Ledger joker vibes. She is a loose cannon and I
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, Techla's a little psycho. They did have
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: a vignette coming off the women's title match from Wednesday,
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: but stat Lander cut a promo in the back all bloody,
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: you know, she's still coming after the world title. And
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: then Tekla was back there with her leather strap and
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: her belt and she was just she was a crazy woman.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: I know in a way she almost gives off, not
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: in terms of the voice, but there are aspects of
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: her that remind me of Luna Vashan, like in a
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: good way, because Luna was awesome, and I think Luna
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: is very underrated and does not get the credit that
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: she deserves. But yeah, she's got some Lunabashon vibes going on.
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: There are we are five hundred and thirty. Lie man,
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: how the hell do we do that? That came out
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: of nowhere? You guys must really want to be the booker.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: Holy shit. Well, if you wanted that bad and let's
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: get to it. Ladies and gentlemen. It is now time
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: to be five hundred and thirty likes, my goodness asking
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: you shall receive all right? Oh look everybody, it's Turbo
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: Floyd and uh oh god, who's the other guy? His
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: name has popped out of my head? Oh man, anyway,
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: it's the Outrunners. Can't believe the Outrunners never did get
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: even briefly that tag team title run. What a what
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: a missed opportunity that was because we're off the peak
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: now right. They passed the peak. The peak is over
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: and they never did get that run? A dark one.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: What's going on? Channel member for three months? Appreciate the
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: stream tonight, any chance that hog comes to Los Angeles
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: and congrats on the new podcast. Thank you? Yes, well,
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: I mean obviously, we had our Los Angeles debut in
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: January a few weeks ago, and I was not able
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: to be there, but it was a hell of a
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: show and the match between Andrede and Amazing red was excellent.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: We are coming back to Los Angeles. The announcement is
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: coming any week now, any week now. I know the dates.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: I cannot share the dates, but you will not have
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: to wait much longer. We are going to be coming
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: back to LA and I am. I am planning on
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: being there this time. So for all the people I
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: missed in Los Angeles last time, hopefully we'll get a
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: chance to meet up. And it's gonna be a good show.
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: We're going back to the Globe, the Globe Theater anyway, Outrunners,
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: I almost forgot where I was here. The Outrunners are
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: going to be taking on Top Flight. That sounds like
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: a collision match to me, A very appropriate night to
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: be booking this match. That is a collision match through
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: and through. Here we go women's match. We have someone
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: that you will not be seeing on Collision or Dynamite
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: or any other show. Doctor Britt Baker, DMD. Look at this,
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: I booked her before Tony Cohn did. The former aw
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: Women's World Champion, Doctor Britt Baker taking on Bianca bel Air.
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: So said, we're heading into WrestleMania. It is going to
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: be a year and Bianca Belair is still not back
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: coming off of what I thought was the match of
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: the year, my personal match of the year in twenty
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: twenty five. She left on a high note. I'll say that,
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: but still know Bianca Belair. It's terrible and in the
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: main event. Yeah, you know, what's a good point, suplexus,
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: He says, both haven't been seen for about ten months.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: I feel like BRIT's been out longer than that though, Right,
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: did Britt make any appearances in twenty twenty five? I
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: think the last time we saw her was probably the
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: fall of twenty twenty four. Alright, our main event now,
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: Kurt Angle one of the goats. This man, I mean,
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: you talk about the perfect pro wrestler, this man just
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: got it. He just got it, you know what I mean?
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: Like he took to it like a duck to water.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: Kurd Angle. He can be in my promotion anytime. What
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: a fall it was? Yes, fall was the last time
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: I believe we saw Brett Baker. It was indeed a fall.
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: Kurt Angle against Ray Phoenix. Oh you hear that? That
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: means we just had a clean sweep. Look at that
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: kurd Angle and Ray Phoenix. You know, as fun as
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: kurd Angle and Ray Mysterio was at Summer slimon O two.
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: Imagine a kurd Angle prime curd Angle against Ray Phoenix match.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: I'm fucking great with that. Holy shit, that is the
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: opening match on my pay per view. You give those guys,
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: I don't know, twelve minutes, maybe fifteen, that match would
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: be something else. Let me tell you, I love it.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: We picked some good ones tonight. It's a good recovery
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: from last night. Keep that momentum going. Next time I'm
